If you like coffee, dark chocolate, grapefruit, kale, arugula, etc., you might just love bitter flavors.

Many people cut their coffee with milk and sugar to complement the bitterness. But then they typically enjoy the resulting flavor, too.

I've known plenty of people who loved caffeine but not coffee. They drink soft drinks or take caffeine pills.

Believe people when they say they like the flavor of coffee.
Hard to compare the time period. I'm still coming to grips what it means when 95% of jobs I apply to are remote.

There are other data points to consider:

- higher interest rates and less VC money equates to less startups and less hiring

- large tech layoffs

To your point of demand for 'good' developers - I suspect that is likely true. I don't know how to decouple that from the problem of interviews not able to identify good developers. A 'good' developer is a function of the individual, what is happening in their life, the team, the codebase, leadership, process, tech debt, etc..
The risk always is there, but I don’t think you can blame large OS seller for it.

OS sellers also compete with other OS sellers, and have to keep adding features, or customers will stop buying their product.

For example: back in the 1970s, to draw bitmapped graphics, you used to have to buy a graphics drawing library, for a few hundred dollars. It likely shipped with fonts that you couldn’t use in a text processor that you had to buy from another vendor. The market for such products is a lot smaller today.

If you call any ‘adding a feature that you can buy from a third party’ Sherlocking, OS sellers cannot avoid being criticized:

- if they don’t add a feature, critics will say “why can’t their OS do FOO? You get that for free with Acme’s OS ”

- if they implement it in a basic way, they’ll say “their FOO can’t BAR”

- if they implement a competitive product they’ll say “Sherlocking”

⇒ I would limit “Sherlocking” to “largely the same feature with largely the same UI, and that UI isn’t obvious”
What I think is important to understand about world leaders, business executives, etc. is that these are mentally ill people. To them wealth and power are like pizza to an obese person.

Obviously there are shades of gray, but just seeking these positions hints at their psychology.
I’m having a bit of trouble getting the point here, this is more sort of just a passing thought I guess. But yeah, like the article ends with, querying with graphql from the front end, and using loaders from Remix are 2 choices for different situations where they’re ideal.

That sweater is one of my favorite items, thank you :)

The goal is for this to be able to run well on commodity hardware, which I think is possible. If I can run this on $platform with $cheap instances and an $autoscaler then that would be my ideal design goal because I think it matches the setup that most people have access to.

However, I agree - I am a big fan of Hetzner's servers and am excited to try out benchmarks on beefier hardware too.

Apple seems to try out ideas before adopting them, by observing third-party apps.

I'd like to say, "write cross platform apps",the way Hypercard didn't, but the web can do that portably, "write once". Can you add functionality that Apple can't? (By some internal Apple decision or strategy)

Using Procreate as an example, Apple may not want to offer a super feature set, or incorporate super features in their legacy apps, such as image editing, files or music apps.

Other than "AI".

To be clear, Congress does not even have to delegate authority with a great degree of specificity. If you read the Communications Act of 1934, for example, it has broad provisions that expressly give great discretion to the FCC to decide matters of policy. Chevron doesn’t affect that.

Where Chevron comes into play is usually where Congress was pretty specific, because the statute embodies some sort of legislative compromise. In those cases, Chevron means that agencies can easily undo (in either direction) the legislative compromise Congress created.
TLDR: Federalist Society member writes nonsensical opinion piece ignoring U.S. history to try and justify the nonsensical logic underpinning the Loper decision.

This would be like having a pharma executive claiming that they need to charge so much money for medicine so that pharma companies can justify paying the executives huge bonuses.
While you're right, the argument is scant consolation to anyone whose lives are suddenly constrained and unaffordable through no fault of their own.

I have several of them in my personal library. They’re a great starting point for a lot of circuits. I’m pretty sure I first discovered them by tearing apart an old Kurzweil digital piano. I echo the sentiment, their docs are worth perusing.
I had no idea there was withdrawal, and I have no psychological addiction to it, so I just switched to decaf not thinking anything of it, other than that I'd probably be more tired for a while.
It depends on where you are coming from. If you are a startup going from 0->N then sure cloud makes sense and you can architect for cloud.

If you are a 50 year old Fortune500 that was cargo culted into "we must migrate to cloud", it turns out that lift-and-shift to VMs is hideously expensive. But also, re-architecting 50 years of internal software is also hideously expensive.

Also, you are also already the scale that you had your own DCs / rented space in DCs, with the internal expertise to operate there.

So lots of CapEx to get to a place where you have.. possibly higher OpEx?
These are great suggestions. Today every db write is indeed wrapped in a mutex. The two optimizations I am experimenting with are:

1. When new messages are inserted, immediately append to a file on disk. Then, in batch, insert to SQLite.

2. When dequeuing messages, keep n message IDs in memory as a ready queue, and then keep dequeued message IDs in another list. Those can be served immediately (using a SELECT which is fast) and then updating messages to the dequeued status can happen in batch.

Appreciate the tips!
According to the following source she was not a founding member and she has never been a formal member, though she did invent the term open source [1]

"Peterson was not a founding member of the OSI. The OSI was founded by Bruce Perens and Eric Raymond, who were instrumental in promoting the term "open source" after Peterson introduced it"

"Christine Peterson is not currently a member of the Open Source Initiative (OSI), nor has she ever been a formal member of the organization. However, she played a significant role in the open-source movement by coining the term "open source software" in 1998."

I did a bike bus with my kids school elsewhere in Portland this year! Great way to get kids riding. We’d have 2-3 parents on cargo bikes block busy intersections for the kiddos to ride across at their own pace. Probably annoyed some drivers, but they never showed it. Once a car even pulled alongside, slowly and safely, to block traffic even more completely for us.
I would mostly agree, with the exception of libraries that are responsible for parsing untrusted input and making it safe. You can't, on the one hand, tell developers, "always validate your input, if not then we have a security vulnerability, and don't write your own validation libraries because they're super risky to get right", then pretend that the security hole caused by a bug in the library should have been handled properly in some fashion by developers.

And that is indeed the case here. The node-ip library had a security vulnerability in the function that informed developers if an IP was private or not. That's important when you accept user-defined webhooks and you want to ensure that an attacker isn't giving you something that resolves to a private IP within your own network. The whole process of "validating untrusted user input" ends up relying, at least in part, on libraries like this which tell you whether the components of the input are safe.
You mean:

"me feeling cold"

"coal is cheap"

"burning coal makes me warm"

"coal good!"

Coal remains the cheapest energy source in the north. Only if you factor in the external costs, it gets expensive - but that factoring in is politics.

And there are already lots of people feeling angry and voting "alternatives" because they think the politicians made energy (coal) too expensive. Climafanatics is the term they use for people who say coal is very expensive in the long term .
This is not a secret facility. It's a test facility, not a launch site, i.e. there's public news on activities at facility when searching 河南巩义市综合试验中心 [0]. Catastrophic failure made it one, but that's like people saying they don't know XYZ industrial complex was located out side of town until it explodes spectacularly.

Tianlong3 actual launches is anticipated to happen at Wenchang Commerical in coastal Hainan, a cordoned off space port like Kennedy [1]. I would say (relatively) commercial players like Space Pioneer less cavalier than the national space program because bad optics can kill them.

Oh, port. Not portal. Never mind.
I’m not a lawyer and don’t pretend to be one. There are examples where the Chevron defense was used badly and examples where used in a beneficial way. As I see it though we have a dysfunctional Congress and Congress is not going to be passing regulations in a more specific manner as long as though regulations impinge on corporate profits.

With Citizens United paving the way for overt corporate influence in elections and this weeks effective legalization of bribery and now the demise of Chevron we are going to be in for a bad time. Regulatory capture will increase. Regulations will be weakened and agencies will be reticent to create new regulations. This Chevron decision by itself is not major or Earht shattering but the environment created by this court coupled with a party that refuses to govern in the interest of the people creates a dire situation.
That's really a fringe belief indeed. Luckily there's no such thing in my religion.
And that this court will continue to flagrantly misinterpret laws to reach their desired policy goals. For an example see Sackett v. EPA where the majority very carefully fails to understand the difference between adjacent and adjoining in order to cull environmental regulations they don't like. From Kavanaugh:

"In my view, the Court’s “continuous surface
connection” test departs from the statutory text, from 45
years of consistent agency practice, and from this Court’s
precedents. The Court’s test narrows the Clean Water Act’s
coverage of “adjacent” wetlands to mean only “adjoining”
wetlands. But “adjacent” and “adjoining” have distinct
meanings: Adjoining wetlands are contiguous to or
bordering a covered water, whereas adjacent wetlands
include both (i) those wetlands contiguous to or bordering a
covered water, and (ii) wetlands separated from a covered
water only by a man-made dike or barrier, natural river
berm, beach dune, or the like."

Show HN: I've built a child monitoring app with mitmproxy and WireGuard
Hi! I've been working on a child monitoring service and I'd really appreciate your input on it.

The structure of the service is pretty technically interesting. It sets up a wireguard VPN on the child's Windows account, and then routes the traffic to our server. From there, we use mitmproxy to break open the TLS, inspect the packets, and then re-encrypt them. Currently all images are passed through an ImageNetV2 model, and for sites like reddit or google, individual links/communities are analyzed and we remove the content if it violates the filters without impacting the overall browsing experience. Coming soon(ish) will be a 8B uncensored llama3 model, which will allow parents to create custom filters for filtering content.

I've always felt like child monitoring systems are missing the bigger picture when it comes to content filtering. I certainly remember being a little kid (9-ish) and coming across adult content I shouldn't have been seeing, but I also recall encountering subreddits and other online groups that laid the groundwork for my personality, without my parent ever knowing what was happening. The fact that as a child, I declared I no longer believed in God before I stopped believing in Santa was not the result of being some super genius, but because I was regurgitating what I read on r/atheism as gospel. Parents need more control over what their kids see, and as the internet develops more mature communities child filters need to keep up. It is not enough to simply hope your kid turns out normal, because there are companies actively working against you.

The service is $20 a month, although it's 50% off for the first two months while we're in early access. We also only do Windows at the moment, although I'd like to expand (especially to linux) later this year.

Let me know what you think!
If I were using Remix, I'd probably trigger GraphQL queries from route loaders, one doesn't really obviate the other. Yes, there are challenges with using GraphQL well, but there's no inherent tension between it and the loader approach.
The lower courts see where the Supreme Court is heading and they will rule accordingly. I could be wrong. In a few years I think you will see that I’m right.
Saying Google has the same rights (including publication, etc.) as you do to your book written in Google Docs is certainly over the line. I can't speak for the grandparent, but I have to assume they didn't have this extreme in mind when writing their comment. The far more interesting question is, "Where is the line?"

Is it okay for Google Docs to store your documents on Google's drives? If you want that product to exist, then it better be okay!

What if Google analyzes font usage in all docs? No docs out of millions have ever used SillyFont, so they decide to remove SillyFont from the default list to declutter the interface. I don't think that's over the line.

How about detecting that everyone is ignoring/undoing the spelling correction of a specific word and using that to realize they have a misspelling in their dictionary? I'd like that.

How about noticing that your documents all use British spellings rather than American spellings (e.g., "colour" rather than "color"), so they adapt spell checking and autocompletion? Is that over the line?

How about using everyone's text and location to build an ML classifier to determine that "go on holiday" is British and "go on a vacation" is American and using that to adapt autocompletion?

What if 99% of all occurrences of the phrase "It was a dark and" end with "stormy night", so they autocomplete that?

If you're writing your new book in Google Docs and I type the first five words, should it autocomplete the rest of your book for me? I think it's easy to agree this is over the line.

Where is the line? I suspect we won't all agree. Is it possible to come up with somewhat standardized concepts and language around this, so that vendors can publish data usage policies that let consumers make informed decisions?

We've had a few dubious or outright indirect GitHub security advisories opened by people obviously trying to boost their resume or push their automated scanning tools.

It's concerning because you don't want to become insensitive to security reports, but also some of the proposed fixes involve security sensitive project setup and this could be an avenue for exfiltrating secrets.
It’s really too bad this is using proprietary tooling like Firebase (like Supabase with Postgres).
Anecdata incoming: a company I worked for had such a referral. They bombed the interview. The referring employee was incredulous. I was asked to re-interview them. They did seem good, they got an offer. The experience delayed things, put a bad taste in the candidates mouth, they took a different offer.

My point, the result of interviewing a good developer is potentially random. There is perhaps less probability of a bad developer having a random outcome as well, but certainly can happen.

Though.. define "good". Some people are incredible only when in the right team and environment.

This “silent on” meme is clever, but it doesn’t quite work when the entire framework of regulatory law relied on the agencies to adapt to circumstances that everyone knows will change. In fact, your point strengthens that idea: why would anyone with any working knowledge of how regulations work expect the law to need changing to cover every type of fish when the overfishing situation is by definition dynamic? This is the purpose of the “necessary and appropriate” clause.

This isn’t even an example text vs. spirit. Congress wrote the law to cover this.
Possibly because there's still some emergency (/somewhat expected winter 'emergency') coal capacity I believe?
It's the reason why some companies, like IBM [disclosure: I work for Red Hat], seem to sell products even though there seems to be little rational reason why customers would buy them, as in they have poorer performance or quality at a much greater price. Those products are certified against dozens of financial, safety, security or other standards, and customers in certain markets (government, military, nuclear, automotive etc) simply have to buy the certified products. The consequences of not doing so range from products not being supported, all the way to going to jail for gross negligence.

Edit: I wrote a rather highly rated HN comment about why Red Hat makes money last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35588297

I don't disagree, but I think you're conflating secrets with environment variables. Yes most secrets are (or should be at least) passed in through env vars, but there's also a ton (in some apps 80% to 90%) of configuration that aren't secrets. I also dislike when people treat every config value as a secret. Secrets require additional overhead and care, and burdening yourself (or another dev or operator) with that in order to tweak a completely non-secretive value is unnecessary and IMHO often counterproductive.

For secrets, a .env file is fine for local dev and docker-compose IMHO. The "hidden file" nature of a .env is a good fit for secrets. (For prod I prefer K8s Secrets or Vault or similar)
