This is a refreshing perspective, I'm used to laws in my own country having explicit provisions allowing delegated acts to be adopted, so the reactions to this decision had made me wonder if the US somehow didn't have that. But I guess it does, and the problem is Congress is lazy?
A Corolla hybrid doesn’t get you in the carpool lane for commuting in Az traffic, and I already own the suburban. Sure, I could sell the suburban, and buy a Corolla, and in about 60k miles, come out ahead, but then I couldn’t haul a boat. I was quite hopeful that the Cybertruck was going to have a 500 mile range.

AI isn't at that level yet, and I don't know when it will be. When it does get that good, the meaning of wealth changes at least as much as it did in the Industrial Revolution when land took a second seat to capital, and I have no idea what our societies will do any more than Adam Smith could have imagined Communism.
The fringe nature of this hypothesis is discussed in the article itself. I was just explaining why one would even think to go down this road to begin with.
I guess proper words for proofing cover most use cases, but you just don't know how a font might be used; what sequence of characters it will be exposed to. I found it useful in my proofing to run every character between every pair in the character set like this

for a:

aabcdefgh

aabcdefgh

abacdefgh

abcadefgh

abcdaefgh

abcdeafgh

abcdefagh

abcdefgah

abcdefgha

If there is a problem with kerning for %a or a% pairs, it will stick out in this list.
A "split decision" is not the same as a "split among Federal courts". A split decision just means the appeals court (one Federal district) ruled 2-1 rather than 3-0. A split among Federal courts means that different districts ruled in different ways.
I had to build a queue implementation not too long ago. We used t2.nano for our benchmarks as well. Your results are in-line with ours pre-optimizations (except we are using nats jetstream for queuing).

I’d also recommend reducing the number of threads as that can increase performance on single-processor machines (context switching will kill you). Try to find the sweet spot (for us, it was 2x-4x the number of cpus to threads, at least, for our workload).

If you are using go, it kinda sucks at single-cpu things, and if you detect that you have a single core, you can lock a go-routine to a thread and that sometimes helps.

Also, try to batch sends (aka, for-loop) to attempt to saturate the send-side so by the time you come back with your next batch they’re still messages sitting in a network buffer somewhere. For example, we have a channel that wakes up our sender, then we honest-to-god wait like 60ms in the hopes there will be more than one message to pick up — and there usually is in production.
I grew up in Texas, only 1 mile away from my elementary school. I was dropped off every single day by car, and only ever used my bike to kill time within my "superblock" (not sure what to call it, but the streets which are blocked in by the 40mph arterial stroads.) I would have loved this!

Even when I went on to middle school (0.5 mile away), I was still dropped off by car. Thinking back, I'm not sure there were even bike racks, though there was of course a massive parking lot. Yikes, in retrospect.

If you think of XML (and JSON, YAML) as a standardized CSV that can handle hierarchy I think that's beyond a useless fad. There are lots of edge cases in parsing data and having standardized tools for that makes it a lot easier for systems to communicate with each other.

I think the hype was there because companies needed to update their data to follow standards and update how that data interacts with other companies. The specifics of XML are less relevant - once things are standardized there can be standardized ways of converting to other formats.

Imagine needing to write custom parsers for every API; not needing that enabled SaaS APIs to be much more practical.

I notice that you didn't try to refute my assertion that she was in a conversation with the founders of OSI when she coined the term or my assertion that if it weren't for OSI, the public would have never heard of the phrase "open source" as applied to software licenses.

Also, has Peterson ever published anything on the subject of software licenses? I severely doubt it.

You are trying to influence public opinion by citing facts out of context and ignoring any facts that disagree with your chosen narrative. Your motivation is probably to justify your using the phrase "open source" in a misleading way to market something you have a personal interest in.
Well said. The internal/external/physical is just a human abstraction.
are there incentives where the credit for "discovering" a CVE is greater than the reputational consequences of reporting a false one?

This situation gives reproducability-crisis vibes, where people are submitting junk research for some external reward. security is particularly vulnerable to garbage research, and this is a recipe for fraud. perhaps the hacker mindset is earnest and quaint compared to the layered deceptions of academic dishonesty.
It depends on why the library is open source.

A lot of maintainers do it so they don't have to re-write everything when they change jobs. Those would generally agree with you.

Others do it for personal marketing or other economic purposes such as lock-in.

Then there are maintainers who just like doing open source work and like providing something useful for many.

If your workloads are creating such a massive gulf between the projected cost of on-prem vs cloud, you may need to look inward at the software or business itself.

Cloud will always be cheaper up to a point. I then question why that point needed to occur and if we couldn't find some new way to arrange the problem so that it stays under that point.

I feel like "on-prem is cheaper" is often one of those self-fulfilling prophecies where wanting it to be true makes it become true.
It’s not really a rule, but rather in some environments you have to be able to say in court that you did everything you could to make sure your software worked safely and correctly. Sometimes you will be risking criminal charges if you can’t.
I'm not comfortable with saying that a court that removes too much precedent is inherently worse than a court that creates too much of it.

Both courts are legislating from the bench, and if we treat precedent as entirely sacrosanct then we're effectively saying that a court that is aggressive at setting precedent can dictate the way things will be forever.

What this court has been very consistently doing is rolling back decisions which substantially increased the authority of the Executive and Judicial branches and trying to restore power to the Legislative branch. That's a motivation that I happen to agree with for reasons I've explained elsewhere [0], and I don't see any reason why things must stay the way they are just because a different court got there first.

As far as I understand, Stallman is not supportive of promoting or using the term, but he does not disagree with the OSI’s definition.

But I quite often see trolls trying to claim that he does, since if the term is disputed, it opens up for what the trolls really want to do, which is always to illegitimately market their proprietary software (with abominable license terms) as “open source”.

> Try to drive a bus by having the dozen passengers fight with each other

A bus is a different from a country. Also, in a bus, imagine the bus driver dictating where the passengers should get down and what they should listen to, what they should think, if their windows should be rolled up, etc.

I get your point. You need a bus driver (I agree that we need regulated markets), but the bus driver shouldn't be overbearing.

Actually pretty excited to try this, there are so many cases where I need a bare-bones (aka "simple"), local, persistent queue, but all the usual suspects (amqp, apache whatever, cloud nonsense, etc.) are way too heavy.

I'll probably try poking at it directly through the HTTP API rather than an SDK ... does it need AWS V4 auth signatures or anything?

You might need dedicated resources, including storage speed guarantees, to get reproducible benchmarks out of a cloud provider.

I have seen some amount of the needle flipping in the financial service space as well.

10 years ago you saw some first movers to cloud, the last 5 years have been a lot of followers for the sake of it (hey are smarter/bigger peers did it! - CTO).

Numerous shops have become a lot more selective on what workloads truly belong in the cloud. This might mean cancelling migrations or rolling workloads back. Many of these firms are large enough that they have historically operated their own DCs anyway. Others have simply rented space in places like equinix.

In a lot of ways this makes sense. JPM alone claims to have 50K "technologists". These are the kind of numbers that match or exceed the hyperscalers themselves. Even many of the big hedge funds / asset managers have only gotten bigger, with 1000+ engineers of various sorts on staff.

As others have pointed out, things like big predictable stable workloads and storage are heavily marked up in cloud and you are lighting money on fire at scale if you are already big enough to rent/run your own DC.

You are confusing two things.

Of course software runs in the real world from a substrate level.

But from a systems perspective it just runs on a CPU, because it operates by an assembly language that the CPU provides and you don’t need to know if the CPU is transistors, vacuum tubes, optical switches to understand the software operations.

Likewise, you don’t need to know where the CPU is. What kind of system is producing its energy, etc.

So there is a different level of operation between the physical substrate (or many alternative substrates) and the software.

This is very obvious in computer games. The game provides an environment that is independent of what kind of computer you are running it on (given enough speed to be indistinguishable).

Likewise, the Internet has rules that are implemented with physical things, it independent of the exact physical things. Who made your router? Most of the time the answer is “who cares?” as long as it correctly follows the networking rules of a router.
I assume that some of the doomsaying perspective comes from operating under the assumption that Congress will be about as functional as it has been lately and not actually get around to explicitly delegating.
I approach it from the cold, hard economics and the human lizard brain operating model.

The CVE system...has lately attracted a segment of community members filing unverified reports.

While many of the CVEs are filed in good faith ... a recently growing pattern involves newbie security enthusiasts and bug bounty hunters ostensibly "collecting" CVEs to enrich their resume

The potential downward spiral: Projects that receive an inappropriate CVE get defended by their devs.

Some devs have more success at this. Their language and methods are parroted by unscrupulous actors - like entities who buy/usurp control of a repository for malicious means.

If we get here, the likely outcomes seem to be:

1) CVE reporting authorities recognize the problem and tighten up reporting procedures (to mostly good ends) or

2) The people who properly depend on CVEs become increasingly exhausted trying to validate their integrity; they devalue and depend on them less. This further accelerates CVE's lack of trustworthiness and gives bad actors wider room to operate.
Major questions doctrine was first articulated in 2000, but its inherent in the legal fiction of Chevron. The premise of Chevron is that ambiguous statutory language indicates that Congress intended to give agencies gap-filling power.

But the obvious corollary to that is Congress probably didn’t intend to delegate the power to make a huge change in regulatory policy in ambiguous language, without saying so explicitly.
Modern Node.js Runtime Features
It's like they are designed for completely different use cases.

Graphql is designed to be flexible for when you want to expose your data to many clients who may be other teams and need different models of the data.

Obviously, if you just need a simple consistent API, there's no need for all the extra complexity.
Obviously yes, as it has more friction.
The only HTTP API that is exposed is actually the SQS one. (I'm not opposed to a "regular" HTTP API but the goal was to make it easy for people to use existing libraries.)

If you do use your language's AWS SDK, the code handles [1] all of the V4 auth stuff. https://github.com/poundifdef/SmoothMQ/blob/main/protocols/s...

I'd love your feedback! Particularly the difficulties you find in running it, of which I'm sure there are many, so I can fix them or update docs.
Could you elaborate why you didn't choose e.g. RabbitMQ? I mean you talk about AMQP and such, it seems to me, that a client-side abstraction would be much more efficient in providing an exit strategy for SQS than creating an SQS "compatible" broker. For example in the Java ecosystem there is https://smallrye.io/smallrye-reactive-messaging/latest/ that serves a similar purpose.
I'd have named it MQLite. Congrats on finishing and delivering a project, this is quite a challenge in itself. I think SQLite can be a great alternative for many kinds of projects.
The recommendation of "blocking builds/deploys that contain high CVEs" is nonsense. It should be conditional on not having exactly the same CVE in what is already deployed, as it is blocking unrelated fixes.

Mating choices and acceptance are both a negotiation and a competition.

So mating strategies are open ended in complexity as different mating roles each adapt to adaptions in the other role, and in competitors with the same role.

The plethora of absolutely odd mating practices in the natural world demonstrates that. Almost any aspect of an animal and its behaviors can be co-opted into being a mating factor, at which point selection takes that characteristic to crazy places completely unrelated to its original form and function.
Part of what’s driving this is that CUSTOMERS are buying the hype also. So when two companies offer a similar product, but one slaps a “driven by AI” sticker on the box, they get more sales.

So, does that make the executives stupid for trying to find a legitimate reason to shoe-horn AI into a product?
There are actually a great number of practicing lawyers on HN...

The reason for the doom and gloom is that many of the administrative bodies under attack already have the explicit authority from Congress to do what they do, drafted specifically to satisfy the requirements of the Chevron doctrine...

Indeed, the Loper decision is contrary to the actual U.S. history of federal agencies dating back to the start of the U.S. (Brief history lesson: the U.S. Constitution gave the federal government strong, broad powers after the abysmal failure of the Articles of Confederation demonstrated the abject uselessness of a weak central government. Thus, for the first 2 centuries of U.S. history, powers were assumed to belong to the federal government unless explicitly carved out. Extreme activists like the "Federalist" society have spent the last several decades attempting to return the U.S. to days of the Articles of Confederation.)

Chevron was a huge attack on the power of the federal government but ultimately workable since it just required (broad) delegation. Loper says that broad delegation is no longer sufficient; Congress must now spell out nearly every rule.

Hot smoke in general causes cancer. Wood smoke (from fireplace, bonfire, etc.) is more carcinogenic per unit than pure (non-cigarette) tobacco smoke. There's a stronger link between regular wood fireplace use and cancer than there is between moderate pipe/cigar use and cancer.

So moderate (not heavy like Grant) cigar and pipe smoking ought to be regarded as within the realm of acceptable risk, especially given the enjoyment and mental benefits that result.

But if we're going to discuss carcinogens, a lot of other things ought to be considered too. For example, why isn't alcohol, a known carcinogen, considered socially taboo compared to pipe smoking? Why are burning wood fireplaces considered "a nice touch" when the second-hand smoke from them is far more dangerous than that from an outdoor cigar user nearby?
Clearly they are not implementing good bot protection. The results are not very surprising IMO.

(Unfortunately in my opinion: it seems more logical than the American/standard billion. We go up to nine until we run out of units and start on tens, until we run out at nine tens and nine and start on hundreds, until we run out at nine hundreds and nine tens and nine and start on thousands, until we run out at nine hundred and nine tens and nine thousand and nine hundreds and nine tens and nine and start on millions. Why then only go to nine hundred and nine tens and nine million (...)? It breaks the pattern of using all the expressable numbers until you run out and have to start a new word.)
A strange sentiment. Do you think in general people can’t like ‘bitter’ flavors?

Bitterness is very loosely defined in general - we know what ‘sweet’ and ‘salt’ are; bitterness is sometimes associated with some sort of acidity, but a lot of people seem to just describe things that have strong flavor but lack sweetness as ‘bitter’. Lemon, chocolate, kale, and red wine are all sometimes described as ‘bitter’ and they have virtually no common flavor compounds.

It’s definitely possible to like the taste of coffee. My evidence for this is that when I drink coffee that tastes bad, I don’t like it as much.
