> In this case where the wrong order of parameters was the issue, you can solve it with Template Literal Types

You can solve the issue in this particular example because the "hashing" function happens to just append a prefix to the input. There is a lot of data that isn't shaped in that manner but would be useful to differentiate nonetheless.

> And for `hash.toUpperCase()`, it's a valid program.

It's odd to try and argue that doing uppercasing a hash is okay because the hash happens to be represented as a string internally, and strings happen to have such methods on them. Yes, it's technically a valid program, but it's absolutely not correct to manipulate hashes like that. It's even just odd to point out that Typescript includes string manipulation methods on strings. The whole point of branding like this is to treat the branded type as distinct from the primitive type, exactly to avoid this correctness issue.

no, it doesn't? It changes your publicly visible IP. Your GPS data still shows you in the original location. Your wifi localisation and 5g antennas would still be in the original location. It'd also be _trivially easy_ for the OS to know that the user is behind a VPN, given the only way to do so is through APIs dedicated to VPN use.
> that's basically science vs engineering in a nutshell

Right, because those are two very different things. Science is about figuring out truths of how reality works. Engineering is about taking those truths and using them to make useful things.

People often talk in a way that conflates the two, but they are completely different activities.
That's not true at all.
Phones geolocate themselves using satellites, cell towers, and WiFi access points.
They definitely won’t investigate your missing bike unless it is a really valuable one. If you would have any experience living in the country you would know that’s absolutely not true. We also don’t have a single police, it’s handled at the canton level and they can be drastically different.
Can't imagine a title that would motivate me less to seek alternatives to Discord.
I noticed you edited your initial response for tone before I could respond. Regardless, I'll respond to your initial statement to say that no, I'm not trying to make a snarky rebuttal. I'm trying to understand your statements better because my own personal experience and opinions disagree with what you claim and I'd like to integrate your perspective. I don't give a shit about internet points. You specifically mention Vernor Vinge, whom I haven't yet read. My understanding is his work is dependent upon their being an intelligence explosion with the development of AGI, which seems incredibly unlikely given how AI technology has developed thus far. I think we've seen amazing growth in capability but nothing close to an intelligence explosion as I've seen portrayed in SF. As someone working in this space, what lessons would I learn by reading Vinge's work as opposed to spending that time reading more about the history and happenings in the real world of computer security?

Now, to respond to your post-edit: I feel like my disconnect with your positions in this thread are around the importance of fiction. I think fiction is a minor muscle in the body that drives technology, if you'll allow the metaphor, whereas you claim "science fiction has been pivotal in both shaping and preparing our society for changes caused by technology." Perhaps you could explain what you mean more concretely? Another confusion I have: The claim of prescience and that the themes are very old seem to be at odds. If I develop an understanding of the dangers of runaway technology through a story about Genies, why do I need more modern work? What if I instead gain these understanding through actual history? The real world has so many more wrinkles than a story and so many more lessons to give about technological development than a story that I balk at words like pivotal. There is not pivot point, only hundreds and hundreds of articulations.

Anyways, I've written enough for now, and I don't expect you to follow up.
I think some of the apparently dogmatic attitude is from exhaustion. Usually (I'm not implying you) someone calling commonly accepted science into question are just waiting for a moment to drop something about Jesus, or Chemtrails or some other nonsense.

That wasn't what I was looking for, but I appreciate the honest response. UniverseHacker claims "science fiction has been pivotal in both shaping and preparing our society for changes caused by technology" and I want to understand that claim more. Let me explain:

By my reckoning, there are two driving factors in how the understanding and control of nuclear reactions affects our world: First, the huge step change in energetic density over chemical reaction, second the fact that you can cause explosive chain reactions. If there was a smooth gradient of progression towards the energetic density of Fat Man, the world would have been a very different place. If the science had panned out such that we couldn't cause a nuclear chain reaction, the bomb/energy source duality would never have emerged.

I'm curious if there is any fiction out there that contended with either of these factors prior to us realizing that the disparities between chemical and nuclear reactions are what they are. I've not read Alas, Babylon, and I'm not trying to deny that it had important influence, but I'm pretty sure we knew that it was possible to end the world via nuclear conflict prior to 1959. By your estimation, how did the book shape or prepare our society for the changes caused by nuclear technology? We're on the other side of the cold war and the conflict between capitalism and communism isn't a thing anymore, right? If we die in a nuclear fire, it will not be anything like, to quote wikipedia, "The explosion is mistaken for a large-scale US air assault on the military facility and, by the following day, the Soviet Union retaliates with its planned full-scale nuclear strike against the United States and its allies."

I'm not trying to be snarky, I'm trying to understand what I'm missing.

----

To me these claims of SF's prescience fall short, especially when it comes to the dangers of AGI. As an example, I have no mouth and I must scream, as wonderful as it is, doesn't have much to say about preparing our society for AGI. AM will not emerge from GPT-4o, and I'm pretty sure if AGI does happen it won't be through a super computer built to coordinate militaries. I enjoy reading SF, but I think its wider influence is as much miss as it is hit, and I think we can plot better courses when we treat SF as mostly entertainment. People who develop technology would be better served studying the history of technological development.

I'm willing to expose my complete ignorance by questioning this wisdom.

I get that a startup wants a high stock price so they can raise as much money as possible while giving up as little control as possible. Of course there are other circumstances where corporations' best option for raising cash is to sell shares. So in those circumstances, this reasoning still holds.

But what about when I've gotten past funding shortages and I'm a successful company and I want to invest in myself and take back some ownership? Now I have to pay some premium because of something that has nothing to do with the value of my company?

Or what if I'm ok not taking back ownership. I'm content to just stay with 60% ownership or whatever? Why do I care what the share price is or what volume of sales is occuring on the stocks around me?

In short, high stock prices only benefit me when I'm selling. So this reasoning baffles me for anybody with an ownership mentality.

I admitted upfront that I was exposing my ignorance. I'm willing to learn from anybody who will show me a bigger picture. But I dread a bigger picture that assumes that future success at any level can only be obtained with leverage.

Apartheid is a legal term with a precise definition in international law. It is not an emotional shorthand, or at least I’m not using it as such here.

The Nakba is a historical event, which took place in Palestine 1947-1948. I was using it here to describe that even (or rather as a reference point), not as an emotional shorthand.

Settler Colonialism is a conduct done by a dominant power and against an indigenous population. Rhodesia was a settler colonial state, there is a historical agreement about that, and there was a contemporary agreement that that was bad, and in and of it self made Rhodesia an illegitimate state. I was using it as an emotional shorthand, but so did contemporaries, including at the UN when they encourage nations to never recognize such as state.

Your claim that I threw around these terms as lazy emotionalism is unfounded, I explained how they are relevant and how one can indeed criticize Israel using these terms. Israel may not be as bad as Rhodesia, but the term Settler colonialism, and ethno-state still apply. Israel was a Settler colonial enterprise, it was funded 76 years ago by mass displacements of an indigenous population in an event known as the Nakba. Israel is an ethno-state. It maintains a supremacy and domination of a single ethno-religious group over others. It encourages immigration of that single entho-religious group, while denying any rights to the indigenous population which they displaced.

I’ve argued elsewhere (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40346997) that Israel is an apartheid state, citing, among other, a legal argument used before the ICJ that Israel does indeed brake international humanitarian laws, specifically relating to the legal definition of Apartheid. You however refused to engage with that argument. Claiming that I wasn’t making any coherent arguments. The thing is, I’m not making those arguments, legal experts are. I’m simply appealing to authority on the matter, and there is an overwhelming concern among experts that Israel is indeed an apartheid state.

EDIT: As a case in point of how universal these criticisms of Israel are (a universality which must grant at least some legitimacy) the Wikipedia pages for both Settler Colonialism and Ethnocracy (redirected from ethno-state), have a substantial segments about how these terms can be described to Israel. Even Apartheid (South Africa) which is an article about Apartheid in South Africa (not the crime of Apartheid) has a couple of paragraphs dedicated to how Israel’s conduct against Palestinians can be described as Apartheid. Jimmy Carter even wrote a whole book about it.

My guess is that many of these attackers work at least in cooperation with the Russian government.

It would certainly serve their strategic interests and would align with the Russian Federation’s status as a mafia state. Use criminals to hack opposing countries’ computers, degrading their society. Then, use a cut of the ransom paid to ease the blow of sanctions. In exchange the government gives you more resources to continue your work and provides cover against international law enforcement efforts to stop you.

If those “civilians” would like to avoid Western reprisals for attacking digital infrastructure (particularly the infrastructure that innocent patients need to receive treatment at hospitals), they should cease immediately. Otherwise I have absolutely no problem with handling them like we did Nazis after WWII: hunting them down wherever they are and punishing them for their crimes.

The old thinking was the driver of a cabover was the first to arrive at the scene of the crash. Truckers had a bad image of them and they wanted a hood with a big lump of iron between them and whatever they were plowing into.

Old cab-overs were pretty much tin boxes and they were plentiful before the length laws in the USA were relaxed in the late 70's. After that happened the cabover in the USA died a pretty fast death and the only company to attempt a proper modern cabover design was Freightliner with their Argosy. Other than that maybe the Mack MH Ultraliner was decently modern introduced in the early 80's that replaced the F Model and WS series Cruiseliner.

Discord sucks for many use cases it's being used for. But in my case I only use it for voice chatting in game, and for typing "one sec, setting up my mic". I don't see what self-hosting a more privacy-friendly alternative would gain me besides more headaches.
IMO react made way more sense when it was used only as the view layer. What react really needed was a separate paradigm for business logic. Having a state machine tied into react is really interesting to me though I haven't seen many try it, and I personally don't use react often enough to give it a go.

React's render loop, and even JSX itself, makes plenty of sense when the data is just fed in and rendered. It falls apart really quickly when data is being changed from inside a component rather than must firing events, leaving us with a decade worth of duct tape trying to find a solution that works long term.
For any given faraway country, most journalists do not do in-depth reporting on that country themselves and instead get their news from other journalists, same as everyone else. So they can be expected to be informed about as well as ordinary people.

In any case, the comparison in the article is between journalists Gessen is friends with and unspecified other people who disagree with them. It's basically an attempt to reframe a political conflict as not political in nature at all, but instead rooted in ignorance, so that everyone who knew enough would obviously join the only correct side.

It's interesting how masculine the environment is. An environment that's ostensibly about one man and one woman is actually just the typical "coalitional violence" that men are so good at. Men working on teams to compete with and dominate other men. It reminds me of Joan of Arc. Joan of Arc herself wasn't impactful in battle - the battles were just teams of men fighting other men. But she was the figurehead around which the male team coalesced. Of note is that the article doesn't say how the chatters feel about the OnlyFans model herself. I would assume there's a range of emotions, and I wouldn't be surprised if part of the range includes worshipfulness or awe. Men love jihad, and jihad for the sake of a woman is one of the most satisfying reasons.

Be serious. Unless you significantly extend IRC, it absolutely is not an equivalent replacement for Slack/Discord, and it's foolish to pretend that it is.
