> I’ve moved past it for now, luckily, but I’m seeing a lot of people struggle, particularly men, and get left behind, with virtually nobody trying to make us feel valued or supported on the societal level. Many men, especially those without prospects for getting married/having kids, really don’t have a good reason to go on except pure hedonism. And that can only go so far.

An honest question, not trying to start an argument: I wonder if you feel that men in particular are struggling because you don’t interact with women as often as you interact with men? Reading your main factors, it’s not hard to imagine women facing the same problems, especially in regard to the societal expectation of marriage/kids.
Yes, YouTube might have better CDN solutions, but ISPs can't unfairly discriminate against Nebula. Nebula is a new player, but presumably they're using CDNs with good reach.

The point isn't that Google can't build a better CDN. The point is that we don't want ISPs creating a situation where they've inked a deal with Google to prevent good performance from YouTube competitors. We don't want a situation where "YouTube is the exclusive 4K video provider on ISP-X."
They'll live in a large air conditioned mac mansion with servants, in a gated community, just like they did in CA or TX.
I don't know the specifics, but I'd bet a quarter billion dollars that they didn't add clawback provisions. "The Great American Jobs Scam" goes into this is great detail - https://goodjobsfirst.org/gajs/
IMO, that's more of a sad story about the state of respect for supply chain risk management in the software engineering discipline. It may be convenient at first to add a bunch of dependencies for free that solve a particular task, and ignore the part that says "AS IS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND". The only thing a FOSS license gives anyone is code. It never gave anyone maintenance or support.

Any organization that uses software that is "as is" should have a plan to maintain that software themselves, or mitigate the risk in other ways. And many of the large players in this industry do exactly that, and their full-time employees are top contributors to many large FOSS projects.
Unrelated to the quality of the content:

This is not a new vuln. Nothing is actively occurring.
The issue is that it isn’t legislation. It’s a regulation. Laws are both harder to get passed and harder to overturn
That's the original report. This article is further inspection of the payload, dating from April 1.
This is a bit like removing a traffic light from an intersection and then after a day saying "see, nothing happened, we don't need regulation from traffic lights". Laissez faire, everything will be alright.

That's a different front, though.

Even if it's a response to those things, the level of "don't cooperate even on issues where you agree/used to agree" has not been the same between parties.
This is where I have finally landed on. I spent a lot of time over that past 15 years going through c/c++, (python|TS|go)* (almost in that order). My realization has eventually been for systems stuff c is great and ofcourse now if I can afford the learning curve then rust

For fe, I use ts with htmx for any server side rendering. I got very deep into nextjs enough to consider myself competent but code bloat and dependency breakages just got me off it

For backend/control planes like things nothing has come close to Go for me. It isn't perfect in any one axis, but has a bit of everything I need mixed (fast build speeds, CSP style concurrcy for managing orchestration related workflows, reasonably good typing, and runtime speed), well rounded stdlib, fewer dependency breakages and soon.
Without copyright YouTube could pay nothing for old movies because copyright doesn’t exist and they or someone else would upload any ‘exclusive’ content.

Now YouTube itself might volunteer to pay something to actually get new content because that’s in its own self interest. But that’s going to be at roughly current levels rather than an extra “blockbuster” rate because again any website could trivially have the top 10,000 videos on YouTube so they can’t gatekeep the content behind a paywall etc.
I'm trying to understand this.

I guess by "safer" you mean "less accessible by the US" and I suppose that is likely "true".

But would you rather be in China and send an anti-Chinese message to your friend via... some app that China allows? Or would you rather be in the US and send an anti-US message to a friend?

Both countries are going to try and snoop that data. Both are going to be successful.

But in which would you feel "safer" -- meaning in which one is the government likely to take action against you?
There isn't a pushback against new instructions. Look at the large number of extensions being worked on at the moment let alone all the extensions already finalized and required for current profiles.

The only issue is adding bad extensions that bleed microarchitectural details to the consumer.
The "Hollywood accounting" transistor density aside, I think a new metric needs to become mainstream: "wafers per machine per day" and "machines per year manufactured".

Getting these machines built and online is more important than what one machine (that might be less than 6 per year) can do.

The information, I'm sure, is buried in their papers, but I want to know what node processes are in products available now.

I think there are creature comfort areas Apple can work on, definitely, but I was very surprised at how Apple-like the experience of the Quest was, from unboxing to the UI. Especially coming from a Vive/Steam combo which is a bit of a technical Rube Goldberg machine and expects a certain amount of technical skills on top of owning a gaming PC, which is its own barrier to entry, both financially and technical skill-wise.

The bigger issue is that the Meta is just a gaming device while the Vision Pro is being marketed as a productivity device. I think this is where Apple can have success. They could, predictably, be the Apple // to Meta's Colecovision.
You could use a framework mainboard for that![1] Especially if you already have one from a previous gen laptop it's a great way to reuse. They open sourced the CAD files so you can print your case or buy one[2].

I have a first gen framework 13 whose body is about toast, and it is going to become a NAS once it finally stops working. Until then it's a great video-meeting machine.

This will pass regardless of comments and KYC will only get more strict from here on out. What other end result could there have been when the combined gov-corp-tech behemoth is incredibly data-hungry, obsessed with draconian surveillance, and about to be deluged with malicious AI across the internet? It starts with "suspected" foreign actors and ends with everyone needing to prove their humanity for every little thing on the web. This is why we can't have nice things..
There are uses for CLAs besides rug pulls. For example, if you want to offer software as AGPL, accept community contributions, but be able to _also_ offer a non-AGPL option to paying customers (who effectively pay to be allowed to integrate the license without themselves being subject to licensing risk). Quite a few big orgs have a full ban on internal use of AGPL software so this can be very valuable.

That requires a CLA (as I understand it, IANAL) because you're relicensing a contributor's contribution. At the same time though, I wouldn't consider it a rugpull - contributors lose nothing here, and the open source project gains a funding mechanism (a rare thing in open source).
Yeah probably...

"Likely better" doesn't come from 14A vs 16A. It comes from Intel using High NA-EUV vs TSMC using double pattern Low NA-EUV.

If Intel pulls off DSA, they will be using a newer generation of technology compared to TSMC using an optimized older generation. Could TSMC still make better chips? Maybe. But Intel will likely be better.
Yes, total agreement. If the other half of people wouldn't make bad policy selections, we'd all be better off.

If EU "colonization" was so bad, why did formerly developing countries like Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Bulgaria, etc work so hard to join the EU, and currently developing countries like Armenia, Georgia, Serbia, Bosnia, etc still try to ascend into the EU?

And also the fact that HDI metrics of most of Eastern and Southern Europe only broke the 0.9 (very very highly developed) because of EU funding and support.

Edit: you aren't arguing that the EU is a neo-colonial/imperialist project. I answered as such assuming you are anti-EU. +1 on Snyder btw - highly recommend reading "Postwar" if anyone has the time.
We are flipfloppimg because the legislature is paralysed, so only the executive can function.

This is a fundamental issue with the American form of government. Parliamentary systems which have the executive made up of members of the legislature have way less flip-flopping, finger-pointing, and paralysis.

The governments they produce are more reflective of current public sentiment, end up with more than two parties, and are thus less stable. Minority rule and coalition rule is very common... which actively forces either compromise, or a new election.
I believe the parent is responding primarily to this point:

> The idea that you just mark your work as MIT/GPL/CC0 may have made open source more popular, but it also ruins lives when that thing you worked on for years and never made you anything makes a random drive-by asshole more than your annual salary.

There's no reason this should ruin your life - your quality of living didn't suddenly decrease. If you are unhappy with this outcome, you probably didn't really intend to create open source software, and should stick to writing proprietary software.

> Open source licenses that in perpetuity lock you out of any form of gains from your own work, even when that work is the very backbone of someone else's non-open-source, for-pay product, are morally objectionable licenses.

It is simply false that open source licenses lock you out of any form of gains from your own work. They allow others the opportunity to benefit from it, as you yourself can too.
They Entered College in Isolation and Leave Among Protests: The Class of '24
The majority of negative economics with nuclear are from asinine policy decisions as well as tilted markets with subsidies for other sources. Lithium reactors would burn fuel that we idiotically label as waste and try to bury. China has picked up what we abandoned in the 50's; woe be to us when they scale modern reactor designs. Cheap, reliable and sustainable energy built the west - we are pissing that away over a bunch of overactive fear mongering. And if you think emerging markets are going to abandon fossil fuels and the advantages they brought us "because feelings" you are utterly delusional.

You can use the US embargo on Cuba as a case study -- see this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJETjgJM-Q4. The conclusion is roughly that the sanctions did not work, they only strengthened Cuba's relationship with the Soviet Union, as well as serving to unite the citizens of Cuba against a common enemy and thus consolidating support for Fidel Castro. Another comment makes the same point about Iran and China today
Manmohan Singh was seen as exceptionally spineless (because he pretty much cowtowed to whatever the Gandhi family said). That’s not how Biden is perceived. At all. Biden has installed more justices than Obama and Trump combined. He has done it without the right freaking out about it. He has been incredibly effective if you delve past the surface.
Excessive breaking changes on a short time do seem like a pretty bad indicator of quality.

It's not a framework I would use by choice, I've been working with Vue for many years, and I've also done some minor Lit and Svelte work.

But it does seem like it's still very widely used, so I assume there must be something about it people really like.

At the very least, the ecosystem and legacy stuff seems like enough to justify using it on some projects, although Vue seems to have caught up.

> The real question here is why did this take 3 years into Biden's regime for the FCC to act? The FCC is an appointed position. This could've been done in 2021.

FCC commissioners must be approved by the Senate. Biden nominated Gigi Sohn in 2021. Republicans blocked her. Biden nominated Sohn again. I don't think he said why. But other Democrats believed Republicans would block anyone who would restore net neutrality. Republicans blocked Sohn again. Democrats took control of the Senate in 2023. Joe Manchin said he would block Sohn. Sohn withdrew. Biden nominated Anna Gomez. The Senate approved her in September. The FCC started the process for this vote a few days later.

Maybe.

But they almost certainly don't just take this work. They advocate for more work. They lobby for more funds.

I'm not a libertarian, so I don't know the details, but I believe advocated for larger government must be contrary to their beliefs, no?
The declining share price and profits is exactly what made it possible for IBM to buy Hashicorp. The license change didn't juice things -- it watered down the price. $6 billion is a snip compared to the $14 billion IPO valuation.

I don't think the claim is that the EU is colonizing people, but rather the impulse for the large European countries was basically "we can't be relevant by having huge colonies any more so let's try being relevant by being a unified block"

Which is basically true, though the primary motivator was to interlink economies to avoid another war in Europe as started ww1 and ww2
Ask HN: What Happened to Ruby on Rails?
I remember it was quite popular 10 to 15 years ago and even used at many a startup. I rarely hear about it now. I am guessing there are still some legacy companies using it, or maybe many of them died/exited. I am curious to know how such a blooming ecosystem, that was embraced by the value is barely ever spoken of anymore, just the once off article or conversation here and there. Any large companies using RoR?

Is this the fate of every programming language? If not, what went wrong? If so, what language is next and what might be the next hype?

After living so long with complete bullshit coming out of tech and finance sectors, I'm less inclined to give the benefit of the doubt and more likely to assume it's a "don't say anything if you can just wink" kind of "no direct knowledge" situation.
Roll back the assumption.

So what actually should happen here is your pipeline mints a JWT token with some near term expiry per run.

You send that token to vaults JWT endpoint, and it validates that it knows the issuer and the signature matches the provided keys.

When configuring the vault side, you can further validate the signed token data which will include things like the scm org, the repository name, the actor ( user who made the commit ), whether or not it's a PR, what branch it's against, whether the repository is private.

From there you can set roles within vault that allows different policy per risk, i.e. random PRs from the public shouldn't get deployment secrets.
There are many reasons people prefer open source software other than wanting to do their own development: Security auditing, the ability to reverse engineer protocols / serialization formats, or simply to better understand a product's features.

Easy to modify that function to do the final loop in the other order and then not need the sort afterward. I saw ChatGPT make that mistake a few times - it really wants to satisfy the requirement that they are in descending order by doing a sort at the end.

TN does not have a state income tax, and no longer taxes interest/dividend income either. Cost of housing is about an order of magnitude lower. Property taxes are lower. For the most part a radically lower population density. If you cross the Atlantic a lot, you don't have to spend 6 hours crossing North America first. If you're inspired to make The Handmaid's Tale a reality, don't like a whole lot of racial diversity, and love you some guns, TN and a majority of its population are friendlier to you.

Ok. That can be argued (and was a major impetus behind the Benelux Pact which turned into the EEC), but you cannot deny the amount of development the EU brought to countries that ascended to it.

Just look at Croatia versus Serbia despite having the same ethnicity, language, and civil war, or Romania versus Moldova, or Poland versus Belarus despite both sharing the same HDI in the early 1990s.
I2C has no concept of a discovery or identification packet. The host can write any data to any address, and you have to already know in advance what address and data structure you need. The device can't tell you what its data format is.

An I2C transaction begins with a client address, and the host waits for an acknowledge signal that a client has answered the message. That's it, that's the only standard part. From there, the host typically sends a register address and then some number of data bytes, or the client sends back some number of bytes. What those addresses and bytes mean are totally application-specific. There is no standard at all here.

You could absolutely broadcast standard DDC commands to all addresses, but you have no way of knowing what actually happened. You might have turned off one monitor and set another to VGA mode. You might have just crashed some random device on the bus. You have no way to tell.

All your host can possibly know is that there is a device at a given address, and it either did or did not send an acknowledge bit after a command. That's all the information available to you, and it is not enough to do what you suggest
Pokémon Sleep goes IRL with $1,800 hotel experience with the Grand Hyatt Tokyo
Congress was destined to this fate when they eliminated earmarks. Earmarks, or pork barrel spending, were derided as gov't waste, but in reality they were the grease that kept legislation moving. A representative could go back to their voters and say, "I voted for this thing you might not like, but I did it to ensure this crucial local project got done."

Without earmarks there is no incentive to compromise. Compromise is actually a liability now, because there is always someone who will challenge you in a primary and promise to be more "ideologically pure." Without the ability to point to money and public works to defend yourself both during a primary and an election the best you can do is point to a record without compromise.

> The author(s) of the backdoor went a long way to make the backdoor look as innocent as possible.

No, not really. The technical part of this backdoor is not interesting at all. Obfuscating strings? Give me a break. That's something your average commercial developer does. It wouldn't even qualify as DRM. Wake me up when the software is self-modifying and/or written in a way that makes IDA crash (seen it a lot, and I am not a security engineer).

"Innocent as possible" would be the something like that Debian weak keys fiasco, or the misleading indentation patch, etc. Those offer much more plausible deniability than this. "Innocent as possible" and interesting technical-wise would be something like the NIST curves. Decades from now people will still be arguing if they are backdoored or not.

The interest in this exploit is on the community/supply side of things, but hardly the technical aspects.
