> A "senior" developer with less than 10 years of experience, an empty GitHub repo, and a fake degree should be more humble.

It's hard for me to listen to anyone who judges people based on their Github repo.
No, I think that's fair. Unsympathetic framing, but not inaccurate. It's that whole "information wants to be free" thing.
Been locked for almost 3 months between November 2022 and January 2023.

Apple is crazy. My iPad with the authenticator broke, and even though I filled endless forms, verified emails and phone number they just keep sending me emails I was gonna be called by support at a date 3 weeks away.

Got no call, restarted the procedure. Got called in January, and it was an automatic voicemail or something..

I literally couldn't use my work machine (had a backup desktop to use).

Needless to say, except for the MBP I sadly need for work I'm not giving apple a dime for my life.
> You can 100% criticize the community - and thus push them to clean up that shit - without straying into characterizing it like that

Like what? To criticize a community, you have to characterize it. And of course they didn't say everyone was like this.

> Of course, there are many people in the Rust community who are not religious and try to improve the language
Super cool! Looks like they are starting to sell pretty quick. Have you considered allowing people to show the company name in different typefaces to help "try them on"?
I agree. I have lots of projects that work very well but definitely need some UX work. Often times even features that are implemented but not exposed because I don't know how to make the UX work. Designs or a frontend developer would be amazing.

But it always feels easier to a slide into a project with a bug fix or a small feature as opposed to redoing some UI that the owner did. It isn't always obvious if the owner things their design is great and is protective about it or if they would love someone to come in with some ideas. (And even then it may be a lost cause of you both have different tastes.)
Go to any large/well-known US city and you will with almost 100% certainty be able to find an area where this is absolutely common. I live in Texas right down the street from one of many asian street malls/plazas in my city where the majority of the store names are first written in either Chinese or Korean. I'm certain its likely the same in Canada
Ooh, I've never been in any of those flats, but always thought I'd enjoy living there - glad to hear that you did enjoy it!
There is an error in the line's description, any normal of a line is perpendicular to the line itself (all through a point of the line are contained in a plane perpendicular to the line, with two special ones, the principal normal and the binormal, as with every curve) and does not point "in the direction of the line".

A remark: a plane has two (different) unit length normals, which point in exactly opposite directions (one can be obtained by multiplying the other by -1). This determines the positive and negative half-spaces in which each plane splits the 3 dimensional space - the positive and negative direction, which appears for example in the distance calculation on the site.

But that's the thing: if we are not adding as much as before then we should observe NOAAs chart curving, instead it still looks like a straight line (of course, it could also be that this reduction is so small that is not visible on the chart)
They could have IPO'd for less money ;) Then they wouldn't have needed to squeeze so hard.
There are woodworking planes too, with which the title makes more sense.

Simply think about what you want to concentrate on, then concentrate on that until you get tired or physically can’t concentrate on it any more?

I would be shocked if I was the only one on HN who ever thought, “I don’t want to think about this right now, I want to think about <whatever>” and then stopped thinking about the first thing. In aviation there’s even actually training on division of attention and learning to prioritize and concentrate selectively. You evaluate the situation and classify things as “important” or “not important” then focus in the important stuff. Literally choosing what to think about in the moment.

You’ve never said “gotta concentrate on this now,” and then concentrated on it very hard? Everyone on here is going overly reductive and going into infinite regress as though that proves their point, but it’s Sorites Paradox. “Oh where did the decision about its importance come from? Well that’s entirely the product of your environment! Checkmate free will!” But it’s a lot simpler than that, in the heat of the moment if you don’t have time you tend to fall back to your training, but in other decisions - even when making a choice about what to think about - you can even hold a bit of a discussion with yourself, or lay out the pros and cons to decide what to do, evaluate them all and then choose.

You can absolutely choose to think about one thing or think about another. That’s its own sort of free will. As I read a lot of these comments I really pity the people who don’t believe they’re imbued with free will. It really makes me wonder about their lives and upbringing.
Seconding this. Evading detection has become a real cake-walk since threat actors are able to sign up for a free Cloudflare account and then put their phishing site on their 2-hours old domain behind a level of protection backed by a $20B company. Funny that you almost never see phishing on Akamai ;)

Disclaimer: We operate in this space so we obviously have an interest in being able to detect these threats going forward.
I mean one a db.. you’d want that regardless and the others the processor.. and ones the form… you’d need those 3 in some variety anyway and technically you could drop the db if you just want it dumped to email id imagine

This is literally a blog recommending to use n8n as your processor… that’s basically it lol he’s just adding ways that can be extended too like noco and metrics
This is fine if the user was empowered to re-sign it after the mucking. The problem is that the user is rarely in charge of their own computer anymore.
Brutalism IMO relies on imposing designs. In outdoor spaces, this can lead to feelings of oppression, as anyone who has traversed a high-rise complex at night can attest.

When there is enough space, such as in a church, library, public transport infra etc, the concrete monoliths suddenly become more distant and less threatening and you can really appreciate the effect of being in some kind of ancient future ruin.
Huh, the more you know.
I would assume that it would opportunistically try to run the borrow checker, and if it fails on the access of a specific field, turn that access into an Arc/Rc everywhere, leaving any other access as references. This leaves you with invisible performance cliffs, where accessing a field in a new place suddenly increases the cost of accessing it everywhere else, but it does give you the "just do what I want, damn it!" development experience. I doubt Rust itself could do that without alienating its current userbase, but a RustScript could.
This infantilizing "Everyone that cares about development speed is making shitty garbage" is so obnoxious. You're not omniscient. You don't know any of these codebases.

There's so much software out there, and lots of it works. Focusing on the small amount that could be messy and insisting you're not like the "sheeple" coding it is so lame.
We need to get a legal advocacy group started for dealing with digital rights (EFF isn't getting it done with consumer rights). A couple of well-funded lawsuits on behalf of wronged users will fix this with all of the vendors. This kind of thing should never happen.
How giving them life sentence would be less efficient than a inefficient, error-prone practice of death penalty?
I loved Stolen Device Protection when I first heard about it. And now I've wasted hours of my life dealing with it as part of the "Daily Lockout".

And tech companies again demonstrate that they are "all about the user" by providing no clarity, acknowledgement, or empathy around the issue. It's depressing.

Perhaps this is real talent in tech: to make things seem rather than be, and to build ways to avoid service and accountability unless it leads to max profit.

I shouldn't be surprised each time this happens, but optimistically I still am.
1. Use two-factor auth.

2. Save those backup codes.

I have had to start from scratch before but never have been locked out.
That was indeed a bit silly by IT. They could have written a script that gives you a copy of the file and then deletes it after you're done with it, sort of like what sudoedit does. Or just let you sudoedit that file since they obviously had no problem effectively granting you write access.
Hah. You expect that calling a store - after you get through the phone tree that gets you to the actual store, that someone at the store is going to sit down and start providing you customer support? No, they're going to tell you to make a Genius appointment, or go to the web, or their support number. They're not going to take time off of the floor, and if they do transfer you to the Genius bar, you've got 3-5 minutes, if that, to get an answer, before they too, do the same thing.

The idea that a sales person in an Apple store is taking 20 minutes or more off the floor to provide some random caller tech support when they don't have any of the tooling around it, can't see your account, very little if any access to support databases, let alone account manipulation, is laughable. Apple does a lot of things. This isn't one of them.

A US nonprofit allows Americans to donate tax-free, but Mastodon is still a German company, now with a different tax status. Quite a few European NGOs have a US nonprofit. The nonprofit does not manage the company.
> In a just world concerned with real human rights (restrictions on evildoers from harming you, not entitlements like free X, free Y, and free Z), every Cloudflare employee would go to bed every night fearing whether or not they will wake up alive the next morning.

You see that in the "email" forms of for example most "contact" sites.

This is from the Recompose FAQ, which is a company that offers this service.

> Bones are reduced to a fine powder by equipment after the soil is removed from the Recompose vessel. Staff also screen for non-organics such as implants, which are recycled whenever possible. The reduced bone is added back to the compost to help balance the compost nutrients and make minerals available to plants. It continues to break down and return to the environment over time. Recompose follows all compost-testing regulations put forth by the Washington State Department of Licensing and the Board of Health.

Some of these "never do" things are just artifacts of textual representation, and if you transformed wordl/sudoku into a different domain it would have a much higher success rate using the exact same transformer architecture.

We don't need to create custom AGI for every domain, we just need a model/tool catalog and an agent that is able to reason well enough to decompose problems into parts that can be farmed out to specialized tools then reassembled to form an answer.

Maybe it's more like IPv6 is the solution we got, rather than the solution we want. Not unlike Wayland vs X11. Both over-corrections to the problems they set out to fix.

Then again, my code doesn't get good until the third time I rewrite it...

As someone with a small home lab, IPv6 feels much more complex compared to IPv4. And it's still in significant flux despite decades old, while IPv4 hasn't changed significantly since I deployed my own m0n0wall box back before y2k.

It also requires more infra. DNS for everything is non-optional due to long addresses and dynamic prefixes. DHCPv6 is needed for all configuration settings to be set on clients. And there's still software that doesn't play well with IPv6.

It's just too much hassle for my home lab for now. Maybe in another decade.
Intel made due with "more of the same" for years.

Though, I do hope that Apple continues to make improvements.
I think rust and go are similar on the first run through it’s once you hit lifetimes that things get confusing for complex things, but then if people would start properly name lifetimes in their code instead of just tagging everything with the same lifetime name or worse the same anonymous lifetime they’d more easily understand why most lifetime errors are happening.
> You damn right I do. I own, develop, and maintain the entire system that enabled the body of works to exist in the first place.

I don’t think that meets the bar. Running a website is absolutely not equivalent to the collective effort people put in to populate that website with the information that actually gives the overall artifact its value. There is a large history of outrage when similar information repository websites with user-generated content violate expectations of openness. Nevermind the fact that the actual information itself isn’t even private or proprietary, just obscure and distributed.

> Do you think that you have a claim on ownership of the data because you drove by, saw what you liked, and decided that now you'll just rip the baton out of my hand?

I wouldn’t claim ownership nor want to, when I scrape stuff I usually just want information in a different format. I’m confused as to how you think you can even “own” data to begin with. Suppose that your users uploaded songs instead of RF info, do you believe you own their music solely because they chose to share it on your site? Do you think your users would believe that?
I hope Linux will never switch to cloud accounts.
Yes, they too mention that service but for work purposes. I just find it odd that this is now considered a sane way for hobby projects.

Yes, it is very common in urban and even suburban USA to find stores, and in larger cities entire neighborhoods of stores, where names are in both Latin and some other script, and other text is in English and some other language (whether or not both use the Latin alphabet.) It's not too uncommon in, say, California to see this for several different east asian languages (Chinese being the nost common generally, but there is regional variation), Spanish, and maybe Arabic and/or Russian, in a single moderately sized city.

The House of Representatives in Congress is a proportional representation of the States according to their population….

The House of Representatives is not proportional representation. The one Representative from North Dakota represents far fewer people than a Representative from California. Proportional representation ended in the 1920s. Congress has not authorized more representatives in 100 years.

EDIT: To have mosty proportional representation the number of Representatives should be (population of U.S.)/(population of least populous state).

Secession is not permitted by (more accurately it's not written in) the Constitution.

Obviously. And yet there are numerous instances throughout history of regions of a country breaking away. Things change over time and it could come to pass where California wants to go it alone. Such an act does not have to lead to a civil war. The break up of Czechoslovakia demonstrates this possibility.

The Federal government represents the States..

Obviously. Equally obvious is that if the people of those states don’t feel their voices are heard then over time they may wish to secede. There are major power imbalances in the U.S. federal system and I don’t believe it is long term sustainable. But maybe the U.S. is special and its Constitution is as unchanging as the Word of God and it lasts forever.

I think you lack an understanding of how societies and political structures can change over time. These things are not static.
Looking at Mastodon's growth story, it's clearly going to become a non-profit, regardless of how it structures its company for tax purposes...

I mean, fair number of them have a 'happy button' of insane work loads and work hours. Of course those people consider work abuse acceptable and totally not a drug at all.
It was very surprising that Apple did not strong-arm the EU by threatening to pull out of the area. The short-term loss of revenue from leaving the EU is nothing compared to the long-term decline this is going to cause in Apple's services/subscriptions revenue if the iPhone is commoditized.

I’ve got to be honest while I appreciate the direction they are forced in, I have yet to find anyone outside the tech industry who actually knows or gives a crap.

In 1993 I remember most of the web sites being "How to write HTML."

I see one guy there with photo.net -- and you might wonder why he didn't register photo.com. In '93 basically every domain was available, for free (there were no fees yet). Dotnet domains were definitely seen as nerdier and more exotic and rarer beasts than their dotcom brothers and the value of a domain was little understood.

> a bunch of anti-features that I don't want anywhere near any of my networks for any reason ever

Is there a good write-up on IPv6 anti-features?
In gaming communities e.g. Minecraft you regularly get people asking for port forwarding related questions. Some gamedevs automate that process using UPnP, I believe Eve is one of them.

Neither solution works for me though, as someone whose IPv4 connnectivity is behind a CGNAT.

ALL ISPs in my country have deployed CGNAT so there's no "changing ISP" for me either. IPv6 is the only solution left unless I want to pay a premium to get one of those public IPv4 addresses. Really, single-layered IPv4 NAT can't last forever. The address space of IPv4 is simply too limited.
One of the things that helped push me away from Apple was the crazy circles the ID system would have me going around in. It's been too long to remember the details but it was madness.
At some point if you need to generate better text you need to start creating a model of how the world works along with some amount of reasoning. The "it's just a token generator" argument fails to get this part. That being said I don't think just scaling LLMs are going to get us AGI but I don't have any real arguments to support that
It really depends both on what you mean by "lower tier" drug, and what people are seeking, and how frequent users they are.

But I suspect a reliable potency alone would do a lot for slowing the upward creep than shunting people to a drug dealer who might decide you'll be a more profitable customer if they raise your expectations of the high to seek by selling you "heroin" without telling you it's not pure heroin but cut with fentanyl (tens of times as strong) or carfentanil (thousands of times the potency).

Even with an upwards creep, there are vastly different strength levels and harm profiles for different opioids, and a strategy of what is available focused on slowing advancement and steering around the most dangerous options might well allow for keeping people on far milder options for far longer and/or give more options for shunting people onto interventions if they want to stop.

The first step is really to accept it's a healthcare problem, and recognise that it's a worse healthcare problem if people go to drug dealers because you refuse them. If so, the question becomes not necessarily about a free for all, but about how many hoops you can get people to jump through to shunt as many as possible in a healthier direction without making too many decide it's easier to buy from a dealer.
