I think the other piece going into it is that hardware keeps getting faster. I would imagine especially so the hardware of the average Windows developer. If something doesn't generally appear to be slow to those building it, they're unlikely to spend a lot of time optimizing.

This seems a bit different from the kind of signals frameworks have, where dependencies are tracked automatically (no dependency array), and you can sort of chain stuff automatically, so for example you can have an effect that depends on 3 memos that depend on 4 signals or whatever else, and you never experience non-fresh values.

If you want to look a bit deeper into this I had written another sort of toy implementation that much more closely resembles what the frameworks are actually doing: https://github.com/fabiospampinato/flimsy

I haven’t started trying to hire for this position yet, it’s been something I’ve been thinking of for a while though. Right a small number of developers, myself included, are on call and I’d like to reduce that a bit or just share the burden.

My goal isn’t to throw crap over the fence and say “make it work” but rather empower someone to make maintaining and growing our platform their main goal. The developers (again, myself included) are not great at the ops side of things and can rarely focus on the infrastructure itself due to other priorities (yes, we can talk about how that itself is an issue). If I could clone myself and one of specialize in ops and the other on programming for the platform I would in a heartbeat.

Infra/Ops and programming are two different mindsets (much like managing people or qa differs from writing code). Switching between them is hard and you pay a penalty to do so. Not to mention there are skills (networking is high on that list) that I’m not good at. I can scrape by but that’s not where my skills lie. That’s why I’d like to hire someone who is good at it, who _does_ enjoy it, and who push for changes from a ops perspective that I can’t due to time or skill.
Yeah this seems more like observables than signals. Which despite what you may hear on the interwebs are two different things.
So, your argument is that groups like ISIS and Hamas

- Don't really want to hurt a lot of people that way
- Couldn't access any dangerous ingredients, even if they had the know-how
- Are too dumb to build these things

I agree with reason #3. That is why I don't want to give out open-source models which are world-class experts in chemistry, biology, logistics, operations, and tutoring dumb people.

I disagree with your belief that motivated people with a next-generation generative model doing their planning could not source dangerous ingredients. I'm not going to say much about CBRN in particular, but e.g. ANFO bombs are prevented by monitoring fertilizer sales; nobody tries to monitor natural gas sales or make sure some compound out in the hills isn't setting up their own Haber-Bosch process.

I am also opposed to security theater. Run the numbers on TSA, and it's easy to see that it's a net negative even if it cost 0 tax dollars. But not all government-led safety efforts are theater; seatbelt laws saved a lot of lives, indoor smoking bans saved a lot of lives, OSHA saved a lot of lives.

We know there are folks out there who want to kill a lot of people. We know their capabilities range from "grabbing the nearest hard or pointy object and swinging it" to "medium-scale CBRN attacks." Pushing each of these kinds of people one or two rungs up the capabilities ladder is a real danger; nothing imaginary about it.

I really don’t see the point. All changes come from events whether user, system, or network events. All you need is event handlers, which is obviously already there at the lowest level.

The rest of the stuff the article mentions like rerendering and DOM diffing are all extremely inefficient framework nonsense that is entirely unnecessary.

So, to achieve the desired result be event oriented in everything you do, keep things simple, and don’t let framework nonsense distract from common sense.
It should also be a dramatically smaller attack surface than a smartphone!
You would still have to show instances of it happening to support a claim that it's happening.

Making society pay for room and board of those that have committed a crime against it is inhumane. At the bare minimum, criminals should be required (not forced) to work, as is the case in some small number of states. In addition, criminals should be expected to make some restitution to society above and beyond this.

Criminals are not the victims, by definition. Society should stop treating them like victims, especially at the expense of actual innocent people.
It doesn’t mean anything for two reasons: companies have treated it as a catch—all, and there is a glut of people calling themselves SREs who have never operated a server that wasn’t in a cloud.

You can learn enough about Linux to be decent at your job on only VMs if you’re dedicated, but I’d argue that until you’ve also dealt with hypervisors, bare metal, and hardware issues, you’re missing some of the picture.

“That’s no longer applicable, so why should I care?” Because it pops up everywhere I’ve been. Random build server that everyone forgot about but is critical suddenly shits itself, it’s running some ancient version of Ubuntu, and it’s all hand-rolled. Someone decided to provision a bunch of EC2s with bash, but they made critical errors like not knowing to make a new initramfs after configuring mdadm, so now the RAID disappears on reboots.

Understanding the fundamentals has always and will always matter. Anyone telling you differently is selling you something.
Ops people are cost centers. They can display their wizardry in blog posts until they are blue in the face, but except for those few companies with an incredibly large moat whose main profit is just raw traffic or high uptime (and how many companies like that can maintain that moat indefinitely anyway), engineers not actually building or directly improving product will always be cost centers.

It brings me no joy to say this, as ops people tend to be very smart and cool under pressure, but I never see myself becoming one. High quality software and airtight system integrity seems decreasingly important to people paying salaries and investing money. And the world moves on. I refuse to be seen as a cost center if I can avoid it, and I don't have much sympathy left for otherwise very smart tech people who haven't figured this out yet. If you love the job, do it. If not, transition and don't complain. The people in charge are not going to be persuaded by blog rhetoric. I said what I said.
I think NaNoWriMo walked into a controversy unnecessarily just because they wanted to speak without getting off their high horse first.

They were never going to speak against AI when some of their main sponsors are AI companies. But they could have said "we are tool-agnostic" and be done with it. Instead they decided to paint AI use as "ableist and classist" while describing those working in the publishing industry (aka "their participants") as "resources" one rents by the hour. At no point did they acknowledge that those "resources" are seeing their livelihoods threatened by the same tools NaNoWriMo is promoting.

This controversy led me to learn that NaNoWriMo is not a "quirky" side project anymore but rather a non-profit with $1.6M revenue in 2022 alone. I guess it's hard for them to understand how difficult things are for the "resources" down below when they're looking from that high up.

> As in interviewer you can just say "the specifications aren't clear, what questions would you might want to ask to clarify them?".

I do say that, yes. Not necessarily with those words, but I tell interviewees that they are free to ask questions and in fact recommend that they do rather than they go start coding immediately and accidentaly solve the wrong problem. (Heck! Some people solve a harder problem than we intended to ask from them!)

1000% agree with you on that.

> - Phone enclaves -> see above

Well... not really, from the viewpoint of a bank. Look, now the user can extract the key that the bank TOTP app carefully keeps, and transfer it to another (rooted) device, or use without a phone at all, meaning that this app is no longer a "something unclonable that you have" authentication factor. From a risk management and compliance perspective, that's a contract breach: the bank is legally obliged to store that secret securely, so that the user is guaranteed to complain if it could have been used by someone else.
This boils down to materalizing every possible nondeterministic outcome.

Moreover, they must be cargo cults.

An SRE role was my first job at Google in 2006. It was a product of its time and place. Google could hire the sort of full stack programmer/sysadmin types that the article talks about because they had enough clout and desirability at that time that they could get very skilled programmers to give up programming and do sucky on-call work instead. Even then, just two years after IPO and receiving glowing press everywhere, they struggled with this proposition. A typical strategy (which worked on me) was to promise that whilst they wouldn't offer a job as a developer right away you'd be able to transfer out of SRE after a few years. Another strategy was to build teams that consisted of mixes of sysadmins and developers. In other words, even back then in the most optimal hiring environment possible, there were very few people who were genuinely both developers and sysadmins in one neat package. There was always a clear bias towards one or the other.

The hiring process was nightmarish for both sides. SRE had a higher rejection rate than SWE with only about 1% of candidates getting an offer; the accept rate was lower. Hundreds of interviews to get one person through the door. I had to do eight interviews that covered everything from TCP to obscure bash puzzlers, simultaneous equations, C, performance debugging, Python and CS algorithms. All of us had to spend enormous amounts of time running interviews as a consequence, and there was a constant shortage of SREs too, meaning many services were being administered and on-call covered by SWE teams instead. Who then grumbled a lot because that wasn't what they'd signed up for, of course.

I think if you're not in a similar situation as Google in 2006 then the SRE role isn't going to make sense for you to try and hire. It's a unicorn role. There just aren't enough people out there who have skills that span such a wide gamut of topics. The fact that she put up an ad for SRE and got "a bunch" of "ops monkeys" is the least surprising thing in the world. Of course that happens. Unless you're willing to interview hundreds of candidates to get one hire, whilst simultaneously running a dragnet recruiting operation, then you'll have to compromise. Even Google had to compromise.

Show HN: Subdomain Search Engine
I've built a subdomain search engine that pulls certificate transparency logs in real time to extract unique domain names.

I was frustrated with existing tools that didn't provide wildcard search capabilities. Many tools offer limited search options, are slow or rely on outdated databases. I wanted to create something more powerful and current.

It works by:

1. Monitoring certificate transparency logs in real-time.
2. Extracting relevant domain data.
3. Indexing information.

Solar is 3.9% of total grid capacity.

Misunderstanding efficiencies, capacities and costs lead to lobbying for subsidies on technologies.

This article point says at some point during the day, either:
1. you need high capacity & efficiency grid storage (ie hydroelectric storage)
or
2. someone engineers a grid scale batteries that have never been deployed before that are 2x more capacity than current installs and with the same efficiencies - and they deploy them in tandem with the current solar installs.

While it is _possible_, there are a lot of other people competing for energy markets... it is not at all indicated by the article that market forces will be focusing 100% on solar.

Yeah. That can happen. As an interviewer i would tell the interviewee that they are right and it is because the example is a bit contrived and would ask them to pretend it still makes sense. If they are polite about the thing it would actually count in their favour.

But i understand it is a risk.

Grouping is good until you have a UI component that needs to do 3 different things. It will be a mess because everything is mixed together. See official example: https://vuejs.org/guide/extras/composition-api-faq.html . This has been tremendously useful for developing large components.

If you haven't found a need for this, great for you. Options APIs will also continue to be available for the foreseeable future. But that doesn't mean it is better in any way.

You can do it in a few places, but I use my network firewall for this I use PFSense at home, but there are many enterprise grade brands).

It's common to use the host's firewall as well (nftables, firewalld, or iptables).

You can do it at the webserver too, with access.conf in nginx. Apache uses mod_authz.

I usually do it at the network though so it uses the least amount of resources (no connection ever gets to the webserver). Though if you only have access to your webserver it's faster to ban it there than to send a request to the network team (depending on your org, some orgs might have this automated).

> Official misconduct contributed to the false convictions of 54% of defendants who were later exonerated. In general, the rate of misconduct is higher in more severe crimes.

> We tried to determine whether official misconduct that contributes to false convictions has become more or less frequent over the past 15 to 20 years. For most types of misconduct, we won’t know for years to come, but we already see strong evidence that a few kinds of misconduct have become less common: violence and other misconduct in interrogations; abusive questioning of children in child sex abuse cases; and fraud in presenting forensic evidence. On the other hand, the number of federal white-collar exonerations with misconduct by prosecutors has been increasing.

> NaNoWriMo does not explicitly support any specific approach to writing, nor does it explicitly condemn any approach, including the use of AI. NaNoWriMo's mission is to "provide the structure, community, and encouragement to help people use their voices, achieve creative goals, and build new worlds—on and off the page."

I'm personally not bullish on AI in a lot of contexts, but it feels like creative writing is the main place it could actually be useful and provide real value? Having something to constantly bounce ideas off is a major help when doing creative writing. The statement here certainly seems neutral enough that reactions such as:

>“Your heinous re-configuring of language used to fight actual injustices into a shield to cover your transparently business-based posturing is unforgivable”

Feels entirely over the top.
