> It may be "useful" for me to inspect your private bank accounts (maybe you are a good investor and I can learn something!) but it's no justification for me to violate your privacy.

Right, that's why that's not a thing. We're talking about limited liability companies, not people. They're separate entities.

> It may be very "useful" for me to know the business plans of my competitor, but gaining access to them is usually qualified as criminal. "Useful" is not something that authomatically gives access to private information just because somebody wants to.

The information available is very basic stuff – the company's registered address, its officers, its shareholders and how much they own, insolvency information, and yearly accounts.

My point in it being 'useful' is that it's useful to know who you're going into business with; a cursory look at the company's very basic information can help in that, before, for example, you sign a contract with them.

> Public companies are owned by hundreds of individuals and entities, and the company has zero control over it, making any conclusions based on that is nonsense.

Sure, some companies are owned by hundreds of individuals and entities. A lot are owned by one or two or five people. Either way, it's useful to know who owns the company, and who owns more than others (i.e. controls more than others).

> Moreover, even private company can't really block an investor from selling their share to another investor, why would anyone take it as a "signal" to anything, except the signal that the buying investor considers it to be a good deal? This looks very much like an instance of motivated reasoning.

What are you talking about? I'm not talking about 'useful' to investors (which it definitely is). I'm talking about 'useful' to people doing business with that company. Knowing exactly who you're doing business with, and how financially secure the company is, is very useful. You don't want to go in to business with a company that's about to go under.
I don’t know Radix, so perhaps they use a different merge algorithm than the standard one. The article indicates, though, that nondeterminism was a bug that the company fixed. It does sound like it relies on validators, so perhaps they don’t have open membership, thus don’t allow updates from arbitrary nodes without going through those validators?

Either way, the standard blockchain algorithm doesn’t behave like that.

To be fair, I don’t have a stake in this beyond wanting unambiguous definitions.
That is great news but I have prepared my stack for OpenSearch which seems even if less feature rich but is more trustworthy.

At least there are some security features built in (OIDC/OAuth/JWT/Proxy etc.) which are dead critical to operate any software stack be it internal or otherwise.

As for centralised logging or building a search functionality, OpenSearch was already good enough back in the day at the start of the fork.

I think both ES and OS would continue to flourish in their own ways.
I don't think COSMIC is gonna be ported to OSX and Windows. In fact you can quote me on that, I'd rate the chances of me being wrong at infinitesimal.
They've kinda realized that it's not going anywhere. So now they're focusing on products that can earn them revenue. Like AI features and search ads.
three tribes essay?
I’m Swedish. I have a rather grim view of the Swedish justice system. But this surprises even me. Personally, if this happened to me and the public prosecutor dropped the case I would strongly consider “private prosecution” (“enskilt åtal”).

The one piece of evidence I’m missing in the blog post though is the analysis of the contents of the small brown bottle, and the actual receipt for it.

EDIT: Actually, when I think about it, it sounds improbable that the prosecutor has already decided not to press charges. In Sweden we don’t have a bail system. Most people are just released as soon as they can no longer interfere with the investigation (or continue committing crimes or flee). So it doesn’t mean much that a suspect has been released.

You are right, but you could've said that in a nicer way.
Pitched battles weren't a Stone Age occurence, true. That is more of a state and proto-state phenomenon. Tribal wars usually had form of raiding.

There is ample evidence for homicide among hunters and gatherers, though. We don't like to hear it, because the Noble Savage myth is still going strong.

Yeah, we don't have a comprehensive record of every tribe ever. But violence is attested pretty well among those that we have.
Ask HN: Is there companies it is better not to join?
Hi HN,

While talking with friends about job changes, some would say:
- "do not work for a startup as it is too unstable"
- "do not work for a medium company if it is unknown, otherwise no one will value your experience"
- "It is better to move in a big, large, well known company, so you can move anywhere after".

How would you agree with the second and third claims? Is there companies it is better not to join (even if the salary is competitive) because your experience gained there would not be considered, making the next move difficult?

Myself, I am OK with the first one, as the failure rate of startup is much larger than the success rate, but I do not agree with the two last (I work for a large company, it does not seem to make change easier).

What is your experience on this topic? Would you say all experience are considered the same way?
Choked on my coffee when I got to Rattlesnake. Great name.
It's an attitude that's sadly been brow beaten into mainland Chinese. Combine that and the little emperor phenomenon and I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often. What I'm really shocked by is the apathy the Swedish government has taken to this case.
A short resignation email on a mailing list is about as little drama as I can imagine for, well, resigning. Perhaps by "drama" you're referring to the linked video, but watching the clip, the only drama I see is accusations like "You're trying to convince everyone to switch over to the religion as promulgated by Rust." Regardless of the technical issues, that's an ad hominem with zero technical merit.
I do remember the compiler constantly suggesting lifetimes to me as a newcomer to the language, so it didn't really feel that opt-in. Quite a lot of the suggestions also started to look like someone poured alphabet soup all over the code.
What an amazing story. I think I also think about my younger self, just a bit dumber! Thank you for posting this.
Thanks for your kind and detailed reply.

> it occurs to me that your system only requires an occasional movement rather than a rapid movement for tracking purposes

Right, actually the system wakes up every 10 seconds to check if the angle needs to be adjusted. It often does not and waits for the next 10 seconds.

There is an opportunity to implement true "hibernation" while the system is waiting to save some more power, but it's not done yet.

> Secondly, the motion system appears to be single-ended and based upon a rope and a stepper motor. It would perhaps be useful to consider conversion to a more rigid system.

Actually there are two geared motors, allowing to control both angles.

Yes, I use simple ropes, the system is stable enough thanks to the counterweight (all ropes are always under tension, making the whole system stable).

> In short, if you have knowledge of your own geometry, have known orientation relative that fixed point, and can before activation determine the TOF distance to your target, and have a GPS fix thus solar inclination at that moment is calculable, then it should be possible to track the target without the need for visual feedback.

My project takes the opposite approach: using a low-cost camera board to avoid having to measure all the geometric aspects precisely.

> In terms of temperature sensing, you can obtain remote temperatures using infra-red linear systems which should be effective.

Good idea, I haven't implemented temperature sensing yet, but I'll look into infrared sensors.

> In terms of safety, laser TOF ensuring no change in distance would ensure the subject is still within the programmed range and an intermediate object hasn't been introduced for combustion.

It may be too late, the intermediate object/person is already heating up by the time we detect it.

> In terms of gathering interest, not sure where you are based in France but I could suggest structuring the system as a public sculpture and holding events including eating food cooked by the system which could involve the additional sponsorship of local wineries, cider, etc. to garner social support.

Yes I'm in France, it would be nice to present the system at such events. For the moment I'd much rather get to work on the technical side.

> Smiles from Sydney. I applaud your work toward the application of technology to social and environmental concern, we need more of this.

I reviewed the project and identified that the onboarding process exceeded a five-minute threshold, leading me to discontinue attempts. I utilized a download link for my Apple silicon, successfully installed the associated application, yet the interface displayed only the #body element, restricting any additional input. It is suggested that further refinements be made to the user onboarding process. I contrast this experience with my utilization of WebStudio, where I was capable of initiating work within a single minute.
> DoH means that each application does its own DNS queries, instead of using the OS's functionality.

HUH?! No! You aren't supposed to implement DNS on the application level! Most modern OSes support some form of DNS over TLS at the system level. You should use that.
The dependency on github is giving me pause. I think it is nice to give the option for developpers to connect with github, but local accounts should always be a possibility imho.

Also it is not clear from the readme if Tigris is a requirement or if any S3 API compatible storage can be used. It doesn't seem to be the case according to the environment variables given so I find it strange that Tigris is even mentionned.
Show HN: Netcat-chat – a simple, colorful chat server you can use with netcat
i built a chat server that you can connect to using netcat or telnet. it's written in python and supports multiple users, colorful messages, and custom nicknames. it's a fun way to chat with friends or colleagues without needing a special client.

features: connect using just netcat, colorful output (gray for system, pink for your messages), change your nickname on the fly, see who's online.

repo: https://github.com/oeo/netcat-chat
Sensible. And as much as I too do not like the whole "marketing", and especially video ads that try way, way too hard to "be clever", the truth is that if I don't know about a material, component, device etc. I cannot possibly even consider it.

Or in other words: we still need some way to discover stuff. Having less fluff and more specs is the way I prefer.
Maybe, but changing your environment helps! If you want to quit smoking don’t have cigarettes in the house, etc.

Mandatory audits by accredited auditors in order to participate in a market, inevitably create a market for accredited auditors that don't uncover too much but ensure all checkboxes are ticked. Much of the security industry is actually selling CYA and not actual security. The same dynamic at play means buyiong a home/boat/car you should get your own inspector, not blindly trust the seller's.
I rarely care about such trivial things as being wrong.

I do care about being intellectually honest. I haven’t once said that you or anyone else in this thread is wrong. If you really read everything Ive written, you’ll see I’ve always offered multiple perspectives.

In my words, your perspective has always been accurately shared. I care about that.

Meanwhile, our differences are philosophical. I’m not interested in your limited perspective. Just like you’re not interested in my broader perspective.

I’m not asking you to believe or say anything. You don’t like the additional perspective I’ve shared, ok, move on.

It was a good signal to me that you are overthinking into the architecture if that is really required. Rust makes something pretty much impossible in C/C++ possible, but not necessarily easy, and that would be one such example.

The software engineers who care enough to have an opinion probably likely don't contribute to the ELK stack, and those who are impacted by this license change are no better off. Ever since Elastic went on the warpath with their serverless cloud and Gen AI the entire "open source" pitch is moot, regardless of the license.

Regardless of the openness of their code - their observability product is grossly bloated and unimpressive, the security product is sideways, fleet is broken by design, the entire database sector is coming after their analytics use cases at much better perf + much lower costs (and winning), management look incompetent, RAG is a big bet - but unlikely to be the saving grace the stack + company needs. It's truly a product on fire. Elasticsearch was interesting 10 years ago - nowadays not so much. This just seems like a "hope for the best" distraction for scarier things to come for Elastic.
If you write an app that references that link, Apple will not approve it for the App Store (less of a requirement for Mac, than iOS).

I ran into this with Zoom. If you follow a Zoom conference link, it automatically starts downloading the Zoom client. I wrote an app that helps folks find Zoom meetings.

I was forced to add code that intercepts callouts to Safari, that access Zoom conferences, and show an alert, instead, asking the user to download the app.
I think they still have a contributor licence agreement, meaning every contributor transfers the copyright of his contribution to the owner of Elasticsearch.

https://www.fmad.io/blog/what-is-10g-line-rate

As the article calls it, the gold standard. If a device is capable of forwarding/switching packets at the smallest packet size line rate on all interfaces at the same time you don't have to think too much about its performance when designing your network. Haven't worked much with hardware for a few years but it was common that Cisco switches were not capable of this.
I studied philosophy and ethics so you can safely assume I know my definitions. But that does not matter, as you apparently failed to read what I wrote.

Could you please paraphrase my "greater good argument" that crumbles under close examination? A examination you somehow failed to provide? Maybe you hoped people are too impressed by you use of words to recognize that you even failed to provide an argument against an strawman you created?

No offense, but the way you write makes you sound like a 15 year old teenager that figured out using smart words makes you sound smart, without any deeper understanding of or regard for the concepts at hand or the arguments made. If you want to show some argument is wrong you can't just simply claim it is, you need to demonstrate it - ideally using the very logic and examination, you seem to so highly value.
If you can believe it I found a hack in the early days of PayPal and I was able to buy anything for 1 penny when I was like 15. I just tested it in a couple of e-shops (that was the name back then) and it worked, but I cancelled the order just after checkout just to make sure I was not in the blame for anything coming home that was not expected by the family. Also I was scared of the FBI haha. The only thing I exploited this bug for was to buy all the computer e-books from one of the first publishers. I absolutely devoured the UNIX and x11 ones.

People, who do fasting over weeks, tell me, that the first days are filled with horrible cravings, headaches and hunger. After that it is mostly smooth sailing and they talk about having more energy despite eating almost nothing.
The body uses the fat reserves and muscles for energy. When these reserves are used up, the body will shutdown different functions and at the end, die.

well, i can understand your feeling, what you mentioned seems more like using technology interests as an "excuse: to have some form of human interaction (not saying is bad, i'm also in trend) rather than the need to do technical discussion.
Don't want to be Mr.Freud of the situation but if that is your need try to look over tech a find people to share time, if you want to have technical discussion in a genuine way don't think any platform will fit your needs, as someone already pointed out internet is full of instragram-like-ego-chamber so probably the best way is to cultivate your interests, try to ingage people with interests like yours and create a small discussion board outside of mainstream platforms...

While WebGPU isn't a bad API, it also isn't exactly the '3D API to end all 3D APIs'.

WebGPU has a couple of design decisions which were necessary to support Vulkan on mobile devices, which make it a very rigid API and even (desktop) Vulkan is moving away from that rigid programming model, while WebGPU won't be able to adapt so quickly because it still needs to support outdated mobile GPUs across all operating systems.

I wonder. How does Rust syntax compares with https://www.hylo-lang.org/ syntax?
That also is memory safe, typesafe, and data-race-free.
There have been some websites in the past that allowed one to browse www content by IP address, covering what seemed to be the full range of IPv4 address space. For example, a page with a list of IP address ranges where each address range is a hyperlink. One could then drill down by following hyperlinks to a specific IP address and view whatever was hosted at that address (default host in the case of virtual hosting). Not sure why these websites do not persist. Quite useful. IMHO.

DNS zone files are a decent starting point for exploring the web. Not every registered domain name has an associated website but most do. The largest zone files are available to the public for free.

Vendors I've seen usually use one of a few "standard" packet size mixes e.g. imix. Nobody uses smallest size frames because nobody can hit their headline perf numbers for that, and it's not representative of real-world usage anyway.

That's mostly because borrows are a curiosity of Rust that newcommers are quickly introduced to while they are mostly just a perfomance gimmick.

If you come to rust from high level language you can just do everything with Rc and cloning.

It's still hard because Rust, in opposition to every pipular language, is a value oriented language. But at least you won't have much contact with alphabet soup.

The recent events related to FF are not that much of a shift, considering that Google pays $20B per annum to its (technically non-ad tech) partners, then 85% of Mozilla's total revenue comes from its partnership with Google. That ship had sailed long time ago.
