That doesn't bode well, discussing this on a community site.

That also means to ask our kids to only ever establish social ties in setups we control: as adults have moved online (again, we're on a forum having this discussion), there's so fewer places irl to get random information. So a kid has to go through us to get anything, including information about what they want to watch/read/see.

A kid won't stumble upon a movie when there's no local theaters. Bookstores have also become way more limited if they're still there. Record shops are dead. Other kids recommendations only go so far, especially if they are also restricted. Libraries are the last bastion for a modicum of natural discovery imho.

Today for a kid to come into contact with something their parents don't care about, social media access is the main avenue left.
Here is a link to the opinion so you can read the rationale behind the decision. I have not made it through the whole document yet, but here're some of the points I noted.

From the opinion: The President has duties of “unrivaled gravity and breadth.” ... His authority to act necessarily “stem[s] either from an act of Congress or from the Constitution itself.” ... When the President exercises such authority, Congress cannot act on, and courts cannot examine, the President’s actions.

A little later, they go on to say: "As for a President’s unofficial acts, there is no immunity. Although Presidential immunity is required for official actions to ensure that the President’s decision making is not distorted by the threat of future litigation stemming from those actions, that concern does not support immunity for unofficial conduct"

They have sent the case back down to lower courts to determine whether the acts were official (in which case he has immunity) or not (in which case, the prosecution must prove that the acts were not official).

I think this is really important in that it is bigger than "code reviews." It does show how people greatly misunderstand statistics[0]. And what's even funny is at surface level the claim that code review "does nothing" __sounds__ ludicrous. But people "believe" because they are annoyed with code review, not because they "actually" believe the results.

But statistics are tricky. With the example given in the article "15% of smokers get lung cancer" compared to "80% of people with lung cancer smoke." These two are not in contradiction with one another but are just different ways to view the same thing. In fact, this is often how people will mislead you (or how you may unintentionally mislead yourself!) with statistics.

Another famous example is one that hits HN every once in awhile: "Despite just 5.8% sales, over 38% of bug reports come from the Linux community"[1]. In short this one is about how linux users are just more trained to make bug reports and how most bugs are not system specific. So if you just classify bugs by the architecture of those submitting them, you'll actually miss out on a lot of valuable information. And because how statistics work, if the architecture dependence rate was as low as even 50% (I'd be surprised!) then that's still a huge amount of useful bug reports. As a linux user, I've seen these types of bugs, and they aren't uncommon. But I've frequently seen them dismissed because I report from a linux system. Or worse, support sends you to their page that requests you to "upvote" a "feature" or bug issue. One you have to login to. I can't take a company like that seriously but hell, Spotify did that to me and I've sent them the line of code that was wrong. And Netflix did it to me saying "We don't block firefox" but switching user agents gave me access. Sometimes we got to just think a bit more than surface level.

So I guess I wanted to say, there's a general lesson here that can be abstracted out.

[0] Everyone jokes that stats are made up, but this is equally bad.

Yeah the break of SIKE was pretty spectacular. The attacks on lattice-based crypto are less so. Still, the math is a lot more complicated than ECC or RSA, so it's plausible that it's also fundamentally broken, but we just haven't found out how.

At this point the only PQC algorithm I would trust with my data on its own is good old McEliece.

I upvoted you because I don't think Hacker News should become an echo chamber of the same few opinions, but I disagree with what you say here.

I wouldn't call Rust "functional and impure." It has pattern matching (like in ML), and it has traits (which are reminiscent of Haskell's typeclasses) instead of object-oriented classes (like C++), but most programming in it is very much centered around mutable state and pointers and memory, like a higher-level C; hence, it's impure and imperative, not functional.

A functional and impure language would be more like OCaml, Standard ML, or Scheme. Those all give you unrestricted access to exceptions and mutable cells of memory without restricting it behind a layer of monads, like in Haskell. They just don't really encourage it.

> Rust is functional but the syntax is 10 times easier to read and write. I think other languages will follow.

People complain all the time about Rust syntax looking cryptic and difficult to read.

Also, I'm familiar with both Haskell and Rust syntax, and although many would disagree with what I'm saying here, I don't think Haskell syntax is any harder to read than Rust's. And Standard ML even has much simpler syntax than Rust (although it's much less alive than OCaml, whose syntax is a bit more complicated). I really think it's a matter of what you're used to.
It would be interesting to know the fully baked all-externality cost of it vs alternatives. Tyre rubber, road maintenance, accidents, ship diesel, ports, people, trains, insurance. Anything removing a) complex, expensive moving parts or b) significant externalities or c) people, is a win (except for that jobs thing, but Japan has reducing population). Trains would seem the logical alternative since it touches three big cities on the route, and you could presumably enter/exit multiple places on the route.

Trains can handle some interruption, by orchestrating individual vehicle groups around. Surely for this to be as effective it would need a lot of that. Eg buffers, sidings, minor re-routing around issues. Main difference is the “track” moves, not just the vehicles. So you power and manage the track and the vehicles (shipping containers?) are mostly dumb and just need to be attached to it.
Well, gorilla/sessions is meant for sessions.. a more comparable package would be https://github.com/gorilla/securecookie ; And while, both can achieve the same functionality with signed cookies, the primary purpose of my package was to allow you to easily convert multiple cookies into a struct, which was not functionality I've seen from cookie packages I've interacted with.
What about git? Wasn’t git developed exactly as an alternative to a commercial product? Git is probably the most successful open source alternative software, so much that it completely obliterated the competition.
Actually it's not true of both sides. Hunter Biden was tried and convicted and nobody is up in arms about it, because he did the crimes and should do his time. If his father has done any crimes he should do the time as well.

Most people still think this. The only people who don't are those in thrall to one particular cult of personality.
qualified immunity makes perfect sense. It would be impossible to have a police force without it. What is wrong with qualified immunity is the "clearly established law" standard, which requires prior case law precedent to pierce qualified immunity.

It is also worth nothing that qualified immunity provides no protection for criminal actions, the enforcement of which are an entirely separate challenge.

Ask HN: Should I study machine learning or software engineering?
My college offers Bachelor's degrees in computer science with the option to emphasize in software engineering or machine learning. I find software engineering more interesting because I want to learn to make apps and websites. However I have heard that it has become more difficult to find a job as a software engineer. On the other hand there seems to be a lot of demand for machine learning. I do find machine learning interesting, but not as much. Does it matter? Will I have significantly more/better job opportunities in machine learning than in software engineering?
That’s because neither resulted in a conviction by the Senate.

The Microsoft world runs the vast majority of businesses with more than 20-50 people. MS world is tiny... You know what's tiny? The dev/startup world. MS is overwhelmingly dominant. Not even close.

Your 12 person startup? Yeah, who cares, Linux/Mac all the way. Roll your own everything. Have a NAS that everyone has permissions to, sure, whatever. Backups? Copy it to another NAS every other week, ok. 1000 people who have been using Windows their entire life, half of which are over 50? Managing dozens of levels of permissions? Decades worth of backups?

Go try managing fleets of computers, permissions, file shares, etc for users that require... Windows software. M365 and the MS platform is the shit.

I've used Linux since the 90s. It's my daily driver at home. I was an anti M$ leet haxor. Then I joined the mature business world and saw what MS provides to businesses. The idea of gutting the entire infra "to save money from the bad M$" is greenhorn shit. I know because that was me 20 years ago. You can't just roll your own whatever cobbling together multiple 3rd party stuff and then somehow find people to support it for years to come. It is going to break and it's going to cost money.

This site loves to talk about tech debt. I can't tell you how many systems I've had to migrate from some lone wolf admin that loves writing custom scripts glueing together multiple applications and processes, building a tower of shit which no one knows how it worked after he left so he could have job security. It's very common.

MS admins are a dime a dozen. Easy to find. Reliably experienced. There's a ton of value in that alone.

You will never save money migrating a large org that's already on MS away from it. Completely rediculous.
I'm not as convinced that the math on RSA is so simple compared to LWE cryptography. You'll see reputable cryptographers (well, one of them at least) confidently opining how we'll never break SHA2 and AES. I've never seen that for RSA or any ECDLP construction.

SIKE, sure, all bets are off.

I remember a time before you needed an approval to merge a PR (I also remember a time before PRs or any widespread version control system).

I can count on one hand the number of times someone has caught a bug in my code that should have stopped deployment. Not that I haven’t deployed serious bugs to deployment, but they’ve almost never been caught by someone reviewing my code.

Occasionally someone suggests a better way to do something, or asks a question that ends up with me coming up with a better way of doing something. But those situations are also rare. And I can’t think many times at all when the impact was worth the time spent on the process.

Pair programming and collaboration can be hugely beneficial, but the minimal effort PR approval culture we’ve developed is a very poor substitute.
I don't think it it's a technical issue. On a technical level Flutter is mostly great. But Google has been doing aggressive cost cutting lately and not having Flutter in use in that many apps makes it more vulnerable.

I agree. As I said in another comment, you have the right to not visit sites in the same way you have the right to change your TV channel. But what you cannot do on your TV is strip away ads and force a channel to only show programming.

My pie-in-the-sky theory is that if enough people avoided "abusive" ad sites, they would change their behavior. But if ad blockers are used instead, the bad sites get more abusive to circumvent them, and the responsible sites become unsustainable.
