Yeah sorry, I didn't want to convey with was a ChatGPT prompt, but that it sounded like one, and therefore wouldn't be appealing to many people.

Compare, for instance, with this other thread in the Ask HN [1]. The guy tells a lot about himself, and his story is compelling enough to make people go to the "trouble" of answering him.. Your post, on the other hand, is very succinct, and therefore, you'll get few, and also succinct answers..

Congratulations, you have created a bomb.
Yeah, it's not bad. Guido famously preferred the list comprehension style over the functional style, but when you have nested data types and the "monadic style" (ish) functions, it does really make sense. You could imagine it in Python (lets pretend lists have map and filter):

data['store']['book'].filter(lambda x: x.price < 10).map(lambda x: x.title)

Yeah, not nearly as good. The syntax sugar of a.b instead of a['b'] and arrow functions instead of lambda really does make a pretty big difference.
Essential steps to take before making any technical decision
Making technical decisions or architectural improvements is not easy. It takes effort, preparation, conscious planning, thoughtful thinking, a strategic approach, and trade-offs. All this because there’re no silver-bullets.

Making the right choices can significantly impact the efficiency and scalability of your project.

Discovery and Preparation are key.

In this article, I’m sharing a 4-step approach to guide you before making any technical decision.
"The only downside" is a show stopper that means you do not have a Backup at all.
I was in a fast-growing company (although adjacent to Tech), that grew "big" and went though tons of extra bureaucracy where you will spend months fighting for some stupid change that makes all the technical sense. Now the company is sinking, I hope I will be fired and with the severance package I can enjoy life for 6-8 months and then go find again a company where I can fix things and impact someone's life in a mostly positive way. Wish me luck.
I found it interesting that your mind went to Tesla's autopilot. My mind went to operating airplanes. Most newer small planes have some form of GPS but you're technically not supposed to use instrument navigation until your certified to do so. I haven't met a single pilot that didn't do so, though.

Anyway, it creates the very problem you mentioned but just replace "road" with "outside the cockpit".

> I believe multi-user systems are actually an ancient, outdated rather than a "modern" concept.

I thought that in the 80s, and even had the same experience with sharing the family PC. Then networking (and the internet) happened, and suddenly multiuser became quite useful again - even at home.

> Modern security can be done better without an OS-level concept of a user.

Perhaps, but I have yet to see a userless model that doesn't have issues on around administrative access control. Even dumb terminals had issues with this where students would change settings and then set the admin password on the terminal... As long as people use computers, users will be users...

I worked for big companies, startups, and freelance. If you don’t take control of your career you will be unfulfilled. Software has the pick of the litter. The winning combination is a big company and a role you chose. Security, compensation, and creativity all in one. Startups are 90% likely to fail, contracting will set you back late in life if you don’t hustle all the time. YMMV but nothing beats a blue chip.

Something similar happened at the gym I went to years ago, although I wasn't there when it happened. The poor guy collapsed while lifting weights. WEIGHTS. I kept reluctantly going for a few days before stopping. Then on the radio I heard about a guy collapsing while running on the treadmill, just like your fellow gymgoer, and it was the last drop in the bucket that kept me from doing any exercise other than slow to moderately paced walks. The prospect of collapsing from something that should make me healthier terrifies me.
Kiwi here - Here's something cool: My grandparents (both still alive but over 100) grandparents were among the first settlers here in NZ.

Not the very first to land, a few decades after that, but early enough that they had to build a single room shelter out of clay and mud, and hunt in nature for food. Now, as I sit on the 20th floor in an air conditioned flat with gigabit ethernet, I overlook the city, and marvel about how quickly a country can be built up from nothing.

One other thing that is interesting, my grandparents were farmers their whole lives and only recently retired, when they started farming they were still using horses, and now their farm has computer controlled, almost entirely automated combine harvestors, they themselves often tell us they cant believe the rate at which farming automation advanced - they manage an enormous farm - so big I dont know the boundaries - with less than 10 people because of all the automation. It's pretty impressive to a non-farmer like me.

Ironic, that socialist/communist regimes always win power on the idea of giving control and ownership of assets back to "the people"

The reality, of course, is that the people end up giving control and ownership to a one-party state.

I have personally produced estimates of 2 weeks that took 2 months, and estimates of 2 months that took 2 weeks. For years, I told my boss that implementing a certain feature would be "very hard" and basically wasn't worth it. When we actually pulled the trigger on it, it was done and deployed in a week.

I'm sure some people are significantly better than me at estimates, but I haven't met them. Estimating the unknown without serious research that borders on just doing the job is nigh impossible. And we're just an in-house dev team, so we never, ever do the same thing twice.

Estimating how long to put up another wordpress site is a lot easier than estimating a new project with new requirements and new tools. I typically find that people who think estimating is easy are just doing the same things over and over for new clients, rather than doing new things all the time for the same client/employer.

Upwork/oDesk has a similar system. In these apps, the hours are only billed when you have activity in front of the computer (moving mouse and pressing keys).

I suspect the purpose is the same as platforms like Upwork use it: to ensure they pay only for time you are moving the mouse or typing something. Time away from the computer (but where you could also be thinking about work) is not billed.

Since few people can stay 8 hours in front of the computer programming (even if working full time) , they hire you as a full time but only pay part time salary.

> The key thing was the Fed mismanaging and misunderstanding how money worked.

The key thing was the Fed was (early on) complying with how the gold standard worked, which is a finite amount of cash being available, and only being able to be increased by having more of the shiny stuff.

> When the Great Depression hit in 1929, the Fed’s instinct was to do little and let the economy and markets correct. But the Fed seemed to have no sense of how big the credit bubble from the 1920s was. Consequently, from 1929–1933, the Fed remained committed to a tight monetary policy. Under the gold standard then in force, when the gold balances held by the government contracted, the money supply did so as well. Faced with the increasing economic turmoil, US businesses and the public at large trusted gold more than paper currency. Overseas investors, fearing a potential devaluation of the dollar, preferred gold too. This created a gold drain. As the Fed’s gold stocks declined, the United States unwittingly reduced credit in the economy. Over the 1929–1933 period, the US money supply contracted sharply, declining by roughly one third between 1929 and 1933, and the country experienced its worst ever downturn, with unemployment soaring to roughly 25%.

* https://blogs.cfainstitute.org/investor/2015/09/17/the-ghost...

This is one of the reason why the gold standard (or any "hard" currency) is a bad idea:

* https://www.moneyandbanking.com/commentary/2016/12/14/why-a-...

The sooner the US (and other countries) got off the gold standard, the sooner their economies started to recover:

> In the end, recovery from the Great Depression does not begin until countries give up on the combination of the Bagehot Rule and of commitment to sound gold-standard finance. Those countries that have central banks willing to print up enough money so that people are willing to spend it--it is when you adopt such policies that your economy begins to recover. If you don’t, you become France, which sticks to the gold standard all the way up to 1937, and never gets a recovery. When World War II begins, Nazi Germany’s production--equal to France's in 1933--had doubled between 1933 and 1939. French production had fallen by 15%.

* https://delong.typepad.com/delong_long_form/2013/10/the-grea...

There was a misstep in 1936 when there was pressure to raise rates and also to reduce spending due to deficits, and so rates were raised and austerity was enacted… and the economy tanked again.
Yep. There are good aspects and bad aspects to old-school 1980s OS design.

On the other hand, the entire PC industry was built on DOS and 16-bit Windows which were exactly like this.

Apple made enough money to buy the dying NeXT from selling classic 68K and PowerPC Macintoshes which were exactly like this.

Early Linux was exactly like this, too. I remember running Red Hat Linux 4.2 on my SPARCstation and having kernel panics right, left and centre. Several a day, every day.

Everything we use today, all the hardware and all the software, was built both on software like this and from software like this.

Cardio fitness is an established predictor of mortality and longevity, but testing it requires a proper maximal-exercise treadmill test that one needs to reach their maximum heart rate (costly & potentially risky).

Modern wearables can estimate VO2max but they require some sort of workout data, potentially excluding the majority of the population (=sedentary people). Our recent research at the University of Cambridge developed and validated one of the first models for non-workout VO2max estimation. Paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41746-022-00719-1

TLDR: we can now estimate cardio-fitness just by tracking your everyday movement/heart rate

You certainly need to think about that in the design. But by rolling a 'texture' into the sheets the structure is made from, you can make sure that any hole can't 'rip' bigger, and therefore fails slowly rather than rapidly.

You also need pressure regulator valves in case of fire.

And you might want to make the whole thing double or triple skinned so the highest pressures can be deeper inside where they are less likely to get punctured/less vulnerable to corrosion damage/crash damage.

To me its more like you should strike with the forefoot but with the foot almost flat (as opposed to running like on tiptoes) so it feels as if you are instantly rolling onto the mid part of the shoe. Or put slightly differently- the middle of the shoe is what catches the groud first as it moves backwards relative to your overall direction of travel. There was a whole huge thing about barefoot running but doing miles of it on grass really did help me retrain as a former heel striker.

I don't think the exploit in that case was re-encoding. What happened is an image with very large dimensions was uploaded. When this was decoded into a raw pixel buffer on the client it used tons of memory. It was effectively a zip bomb attack.

In fact re-encoding probably would have solved this as the server could enforce the expected dimensions and rescale or reject the image.
