IMHO, toybox does have some potentially advantageous differences from busybox, e.g.,

busybox seq does not have -f unlike toybox seq

busybox sed has fewer features than toybox sed, e.g., -E

busybox mv does not have -v but toybox mv has it

toybox base64 has an -i option, busybox does not

toybox hexedit has some useful features not found in busybox hexedit

toybox nc has some useful features not found in busybox nc, e.g., -U and -f

Overall, busybox has more available utilities than toybox.

Not in 1944/45. The Germans had lost and had no way of winning. Even if that was not obvious on the ground to some allied leadership clearly understood that.

Regardless the Soviets had almost no concerns about throwing away manpower unnecessarily due to political and other reasons.

e.g. the whole “Race to Berlin” and the ensuing battle, had Stalin and his generals had any concern about the lives of their soldiers (compared to most western generals/leaders) hundreds of thousands of Soviet lives could have been saved at a very small cost.

If no-kill shelters ever make sense (and some people must think they do, as these are things that do exist), then no-kill humanitarian efforts also must make sense. I find this to be self-evident because I think that humans are more important than domestic animals are.

UBI directly helps with the latter; UBI helps people avoid death.

UBI also indirectly helps with the former: By reducing the burden of taking care of pets when the bottom starts to fall out on folks' lives for whatever reason that happens, the need for dog shelters of any sort is also reduced.

> Why would anyone think that a private fork is "published"!?

Anyone who put sensitive content in a git repo should consider published anyway. Git is a decentralized tool, as a company you cannot control the amount of git remotes that may host your code. Considering your code is only hosted as a private repo in a specific remote git server is at best naive. This is without even considering the amount of copies that are stored in dev computers.

Besides, anyone who put stuff on a third party publicly accessible infrastructure should consider it published anyway as breaches happen all the time.

If you happen to have api keys stored in a git repo, the only viable response is rotating those keys.
Excellent is something I haven’t heard anyone say about Music App related things, ever.
Another way of stating this, which I think is rather non-obvious to people who have not studied some amount of pure math, is that technical mathematical definitions are almost never helpful absent a substantial amount of additional context, because their purpose is generally to capture and formalize a much more intuitively-understood idea or motivating phenomena. A professor of mine liked to joke that MathWorld was a website devoted to collecting definitions which were as technically correct as possible while also being useful to nobody[1], and I think the quoted wikipedia passage follows in that tradition beautifully.

The risk for a software engineer at any of the big tech companies is extremely low if you have some common sense level of financial literacy.

If you're an engineer at Nvidia you'd have to do some braindead stupid things with your money to end up homeless.

Also, if you have technical skills at a level that Nvidia would hire you, you can easily get a job at probably a thousand other companies. Layoffs are a non-issue. Recruiters will be scrambling to hire ex-Nvidia folks in the event of a mass layoff, barring a major global financial collapse (in which case you're still better off than 95% of the population).

There was a time in US history, starting somewhere around WW2, where maximum marginal income taxes were crazy high (like 90%) and you had other wage controls in place at various times.

These high income taxes were politically popular, but companies still wanted to compete for workers. So they found all kinds of loopholes for extra benefits they could give employees at a lower tax rate (or at no taxes at all). Sometimes they even lobbied for those loopholes, too.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_insurance_in_the_United... for a brief overview, and perhaps follow references from there.

> considering that the median employee takes almost zero risks and can leave whenever they want.

This is an important point that is often ignored.

Within the past week there was a thread about "How to get paid FAANG money at non-FAANG companies", and someone mentioned starting your own business -- which folks (correctly) pointed out involved risks and time that most folks don't want to take.

(Also, it's always funny on HN when someone sarcastically talks about a CEO "only" being paid an absurd amount of money, when almost all of us are getting paid multiples of the median salary, plus whatever annual bonuses and stock.)
Protomaps makes hosting maps pretty cheap for open streetmap vector tiles. Most of the cost is actually the CDN bandwidth. It's not going to be nothing depending on the number of users but it shouldn't break the bank for Apple and probably is relatively low to other content they distribute (e.g. Apple TV) or OS updates.

The way protomaps does this is by serving a single large file with all the map data via bucket storage and then using lambda functions + CDNs to extract tiles from there on demand. So, they don't pre-calculate the tile files and this simplifies the update process to replacing a single file. The CDN caches the extracted tiles so this is relatively cheap and doable even for small startups. So, this minimizes compute and storage.

Generating the map tiles requires a bit of compute obviously but it's a constant overhead; and they have to do this anyway for their native apps.

Probably the hardest part for them was building a hardware accelerated render engine for the web. Similar to Maplibre, Google Maps, etc. That would explain why it doesn't work on Firefox as well. And obviously Safari is a bit lagging with things like web GPU and WASM that I imagine would be useful for this.

> If you don't carry a balance, then the only cost is if the card has an annual fee.

You know that every time you use the card, American Express charges a fee?

All the perks and cashbacks etc come more or less out of that fee.

Of course, that fee doesn't show up directly on your bill. But you still pay ultimately it. (Just like you as an individual bear most of the brunt of a VAT, even if officially the shop hands the money to the government.)
If User = Name x Password x Role and Role = Normal + Admin

Then

(Name x Password x Role) x (Normal + Admin)
= (Name x Password x Role) x Role
= Name x Password x Role x Role

(See the normal rules of algebra apply)

In Ocaml you would write

type Something = User * Role

or

type Something = Name * Password * Role * Role

In Typescript you would have something like

type Something = { user: User, role: Role }

or

type Something = { name: Name, password: Password, role1: Role, role2: Role }

These two types are isomorphic (they have the same structure when you ignore irrelevant details) but you'd program with them slightly differently.

Neither type makes a great deal of sense, but it's what you asked for. :-)

Show HN: Compile Erlang to WASM and run as HTTP/incoming-handler
Hello!

This is the most useless thing I did in quite some time, but it was fun.

Compile erlang (actually BEAM) to wasm, statically link with a small http wrapper and run as a request handler under wasmtime. This is not very practical as of now and you better just compile atomvm and statically link it with erlang payload if you really need to run erlang on the edge node (you don't).

When (if) typed continuations become a thing, this should also allow for erlang actor model.
Worker co-ops and ESOPs are already available as business structures. If they’re better, they will be more common, it’s as simple as that. Mandating employee ownership is ridiculous.

In terms of policy I think a cap on revenue per employee for a privately held company and a cap on individual ownership is a better solution to reducing income inequality.

That and eliminating involuntary unemployment so that companies have to compete with a guaranteed job that is not exploitative.

Let the private sector figure out the details within those boundary conditions, that’s what it’s there for.

Not exactly. Banks want to figure out your financial riskiness, and in the absence of historical data they usually just assume the worst case scenario just short of ongoing bankruptcy.

So just having an open credit card account that is many years or even decades old and in good standing goes a long way towards your credit score, regardless if you even put any spend on it.

Inversely, if you have only have new credit cards the banks simply don't have much history to work with, and so you are scored lower.

Trust ("credit"!) takes a lot of time to build.
I'm not a crypto bro by any means, but I think crypto satisfies those criteria.

If you want to know the actual answer however. The answer is debt. Or more specifically assets and liabilities on various bank ledgers. Those banks organically set the value to monetary systems. This system would fall apart without a forced taxation system for a given currency.

The actual value is debt and taxation. I'm not complaining, who am I to criticize? But that is the answer.

One could conceive of such a crypto ledger system, and that would be a CBDC.
I don't want to be rude but you have no idea what you are talking about and clearly have 0 insight into the day-to-day of an actual CEO. It's fine to argue that a particular CEO is underperforming, it's often true, but very few of them are "underworking" by any reasonable definition.

The unit price labels here in the US are hilariously messed up. The items you want to compare will be say, a pack of 6 granola bars or a 10 pack. The unit prices will be like:

#1: $0.37 / ounce

#2: $6.50 / pound

or even:

#3: $1.82 / each (a price per item)

This will even be common within the same exact brand too. The stores seem so bad at picking a consistent unit for a product category that it seems malicious, but it stretches my belief that they have the time to get it so wrong intentionally.

No, deleted is a word for deleted. But we started saying things were "deleted", while our eyes flicked to the stack of backup tapes in the corner, acknowledging the white lie, because really deleting things conflicted with other priorities and was hard. And we left it there, until privacy regulations came along and it turned out not using the normal definition of deleted could get you sued. So IMO Github is wide open to paying damages to the first person able to demonstrate them.

Probably you read the article that was linked from this article, which does indeed make the process completely vanish, but leaves a suspicious empty /proc directory.

This article 'solves' the problem of an empty directory by simply bind-mounting another process instead - but that causes ps to output a duplicate line (including process ID) for the other process, in lieu of the process being hidden.
