Coincidentally, `ldd` has the same caveat on Cygwin, although there it's implemented as an executable instead of a shell script:

ldd invokes the Windows loader on the file specified, then uses the Windows debugging interface to report DLLs loaded, and (for executables) to attempt to stop execution before the entrypoint. Thus, you should never use ldd on an untrusted file.

Maybe they could pay them in advance, and then put it in a safe growth account of some sort and by the time they get back they’ll never have to work again? Win-win
Yes, I am assuming that AI won’t sell the text of my chats to scammers just like I assume Google won’t sell my Google search history to anybody that wants to personally hurt me. I distinguish between an ad company wanting to make money showing me ads and an individual calling my parents trying to get them to send the scammer money saying that I’m the hospital so cash app them $600 please.
I would love to see a good proof that it works, all the discussions, rumors and anecdotal evidence suggest the contrary. I am open to learn the truth, with hard numbers.

Very long waiting times are the first thing that comes to mind regarding such failures, with UK and Canada at the top spot. It is not uncommon to die waiting for a consultation to be diagnosed in 1-2 years.
An SSR site needs a frontend dev to produce the HTML/CSS/JS and a backend dev to provide the template variables. You don't need a developer to do both when the interface is so small.
There are many alternative methods of service when you have an unknown defendant or a defendant that evades service, including service by publication.
I will leave this comment here as well.

He did his time at a low and that's pretty interesting. It's not a "hard" environment, but it has a bit more "prison politics" than a minimum security prison does. It's entirely normal to go and do a short sentence at a minimum and never talk to anyone or participate much.

That is extra true for the "other" crowd in prisons (not white, black or hispanic - usually asian and islander) as there is not much "threat" from their group taking over they are left to do most of whatever they want.

Being at a low security that changes slightly. The politics, rules, etc. are all a bit different. A good example is that in minimum security prisons you don't often "check paperwork" much because nobody can have sex charges the only reason people would be interested is to see if you have known snitch paperwork. At a minimum security prison it doesn't happen much and if someone doesn't like your paperwork or case the most they are usually going to do is blacklist doing business with you or tell others not to give you perks like good meals.

At a low security prison they will check your paperwork. It can have bad things on it. If it does have bad things on it they would get "rolled out" one way or another. Usually a signal is given to the guards (sometimes as clear as "get him out or he gets rolled out") and the inmate is told they may have an opportunity to leave without getting forced. Also it doesn't really matter, wherever they are going the word is out and they aren't going to get better treatment there.

There are some other nuanced details, but in general, he's probably very lucky to be asian in this context. They really are more-or-less invisible within the prison system. I'm sure some people tried to press him slightly to get dumb shit like ramen noodles and stuff, which he probably fucking maxed out every TRUNLICS account available LOL
Maybe Gauche (https://practical-scheme.net/gauche/)? It kinda depends on what you want to get done, though. If the thing you want to get done is to make an operating system I guess Loko would be your go-to.

Shoplifting has allways been a sign of a failure of society to provide people with hope for a future in compliance with social expectations.

Crime will allways exist at some level, but a "shoplifting crisis" would not be something solved with more secure shops.
To be honest I don't see why they don't use the existing IPC mechanism created for Android - binder and ashmem. It has been tested and developed in real world scenarios for over a decade by now.

Nope.

This is true for everywhere I have lived in North America. Outside of NYC it isn't so much people not caring, as people not realizing that the siren is mostly to tell you to clear the way. A lot of people just take it to mean "stop where you are", when the actual intention is "move out of the way, then stop". I travel along a route near a hospital frequently, and it is incredibly common for people to be stopped in front of an ambulance, blocking the path, while the ambulance blasts their horn trying to get them to move out of the way.

I agree there are tradeoffs to SPAs, and I shouldn't have implied that companies are a perfect decision-making apparatus.

That said, I think if a certain technology becomes an industry standard, especially one that demonstrates some staying power, as React has, it should not be dismissed out-of-hand, and most of this comments section is doing.
I assume that all data the commercial providers have on you, the government can access too if they would like to. Probably the government is even happy they can "outsource" a lot of data collection.

Interesting point. But there's one difference.

Software is used by enterprises and by individuals. Books are mostly used by indivuals (yeah, I know your Friendly Corp might have an educational budget for you).

Enterprises are less likely to pay for books (as the whole cost of running the procurement process is prohibitive). But people (like individuals) don't have this limitation.
This should be the top rated comment. This [1] is the tactic that is used by government agencies to actively work around protections afforded by the Constitution of the United States.

Indeed. People tend to reflexively assume that income thresholds are a good idea because it prevents people who don't need the program from benefitting, but you've got to think about the cost to the kids whose parents won't do that particular piece of paperwork. Just give kids food if they say they need it. You'll also save money on bureaucracy.

This is a separate question from the quality of the food. I will note that if you give out cash instead of vouchers you are giving the kid something that others can and will take away from them.
Good catch :)

I thought about this for awhile and the gap between harvest time for many crops and first frost isn’t enough to get more than a few inches of rainfall in most agricultural regions with favorable economics.

I think the wetness will wreck the insulation of the first meter or so, but won’t lead to much convective heat transfer if the outside never gets saturated. A big if, to be sure.

As an aside, it’s common practice to leave large piles of grain outside overwinter in the central USA and it’s not optimal, but they certainly don’t saturate the whole way through with water.

Pretty arbitrary assertion.

Maybe shoplifting is a sign of what you say it is.

Could also be a sign of breakdown in law and order because property crime is increasingly ignored, and so people do it because they know they won't get punished.
The last sentence reads as rather entitled.

Photography and art do take skill and effort. Artists should be compensated instead of random internet commenters demanding free pretty pictures.

…that said. $50/yr with 50% margins going to running the app sounds unfair and crazy. I’d be much more comfortable if more of the slice of dough went to the artists.
I find this super interesting! The first thing that comes to mind reading the demo code is, perhaps against the purpose, to canonicalize the lookup examples, which in turns evokes that the examples could be expressed by type expressions alone. Which makes me think of a type system that embeds a generalized set of algebraic operations, so that the adder function is one that simply returns the type Number + Number. Those could be semantic operations, beyond the basic mathematical ones, of course. Anyways, just thinking out loud.
Interesting idea. This might work for educational books, but would it work for literature?
Just googling really quick: the Lattice Semiconductor LFE5U-12 is a 12k-LUT FPGA (and a LUT is way more flexible than a gate).

So realistically, if you need fully custom digital logic, you'd buy LFE5U-12 instead and program that.

So that's $16 FPGA from widely available distributors (like Digikey) who likely can afford 1 or 2 day shipping.

Custom chip design for a flex-circuit is interesting, but only if you have substantial analog parts that cannot be easily implemented by an FPGA.
Web Components are fun. I've played around with Lit, which some people have mentioned. Anybody tried Stencil? It looks similar from the outside but wondering how it plays out mid/late-term.
"A visitor" as in "any visitor"? Or rather "a visitor", i.e. a specific one, about whom they already possess all this data and it's just a look up?

It depends whether your goal is "to make information free" or "give away stolen goods to trick users into giving you their PII so you can monetize with internet ad bucks".

The motivation was to create a simple educational game for my daughter. There are a ton of similar games, but all of them are with ads, premiums, and it is easy for a child to break them (e.g. by clicking some wrong button). The stack is simple - jQuery + jQuery Flip (plus simple js and css), no frameworks. The game was built in 3 evenings.

ShadowDOM should be a killer feature for people that wants to make web scrappers life a bit more difficult.
A few thoughts:

1. Almost all mobile devices used by adults to access their work email have provisioning profiles that allow trusted certificates to be installed by one’s employer.

2. Plenty of authoritarian counties require trusting CAs operated by the government. If you have users in those countries, they are vulnerable to snooping.

Your blog post makes it seem like users vulnerable to MITM attacks are in the minority, when in fact they are likely in the vast majority.

Is It Green Yet?
Creator here.

Not sure how this got into onto HN. Maybe hackandthink can explain.

This product does not actually exist. I wanted to see if there was demand for something like this so I created a landing page for it a few years ago. It only got bad responses. Mostly worries about how authorization rules would work and that it could never be done securely, so I never ended up building it, even though I didn't fully agree with that concern.

I should probably take the page down.

I chuckled when it said that curly brackets are bad because they don't look nice when rotated by 90 degrees.

> This is just like debating why call a builtin type is “int” instead of “Int”.

It's even a bit worse because any text editor knows out of the box about balancing brackets (e.g. Emacs in the text mode) and doesn't know about the "end" syntax.
Get a Raspberry 4 and attach your USB drive for a small network backup. This affords greater safety and continuous backups. Eventually get another drive for offline backup. For that, set up I recommend Urbackup
https://www.urbackup.org/

Urbackup is cross platform, does imaging, include/exclude file backup and data retention policies that are easy to use. You can even restore over the network. Unlike many other backup solutions, files are stored in a format where you can get a hold of your files Manually, if need be.

https://dietpi.com/
dietpi can quickly set up your backup server within a few minutes on most SBC Single Board Computers like the Raspberry Pi.
Prop 13 is such a sad story of the narrow self-interest people vote and act with. Like it's the reason Disney's tax rate for their park in Anaheim was set in the 1960s and basically hasn't moved. Does that sound like a good idea? But no, all people see is "my property taxes won't go up (as much)"

It just keeps getting worse too because you can inherit a property on a stepped-up basis (meaning the cost gets reset to market value for capital gains tax purposes should you then sell it) but you can inherit your parents' advantageous property tax rate.

This problem is so bad that a minimal claw back of Prop 13 benefits (Prop 19), which would limit you to only inheriting ONE beneficial tax rate, barely passed.

Are half of CA voters really inheriting multiple properties with tax rates set in the 70s? Of course not. But people vote agains this kind of thing anyway.

The other argument for Prop 13 is kicking seniors out of their houses when they're on a fixed income. I mean, do you really still need that 5 bedroom house in Los Altos whhen you're a retired couple? Of course not, but you'll happily pass it onto your children with no taxes and the low property tax rate if you can.

If you're really concerned about seniors, you can carve out an exception just for them without giving an exception to everyone (including Disney). This is actually something that Texas handles better. You can stay in your house and defer your property taxes until you die. So there's an incentive to downsize and you're not priced out of your house if you really want to stay.

And for the longest time (only up until the last 5-10 years), Texas managed to have relatively good control on house prices. It's why it was so popular to move to Texas. But national trends finally caught up with Texas too.

Imagine what could've been funded if Prop 13 never passed. Infrastructure, education, health care, whatever.
Actually yes. Ingroup preference is a good thing.
It would be possible to use much higher supply voltages if silicon were replaced with a semiconductor material having a higher band gap.

The main obstacle that has prevented this until now is that in all high-bandgap semiconductors it is easy to make only transistors of a single polarity, not transistors with both polarities, as required for CMOS logic. For high circuit densities it would be difficult to replace the CMOS logic, because all alternatives have higher idle power consumption.

> 2. Making sure your experiment runs in 7-day increments. Averaging out weekly seasonality can be important in reducing variance but also ensures your results accurately predict the effect of a full rollout.

There are of course many seasonalities: day/nigh, weekly, monthly, yearly seasonality, so it can be difficult to decide how broad you want to collect data. But I remember interviewing at a very large online retailer and they did their a/b tests in an hour because they "would collect enough data points to be statistical significant" and that never sat right with me.
The plan for old HI nuclear material in USSR in a decommissioned plant was to "settle in place" for a hundred year (after that its mostly MI/LI that you can glass easily). If you have enough space, the "return to green" that is the goal in France (10-30% of the lifetime costs depending on who you listen to) is too expensive for little benefits.
I am skeptical of the analogy to overfitting, although I understand where the author is coming from and agree with the sentiment.

The basic problem is stupid simple. Optimizing a process for one specific output necessarily un-optimizes for everything else.

Right now much of commerce and labor in the United States is over-optimized for humans because tech businesses are optimizing for specific outcomes (productivity, revenue, etc) in a way that ignores the negative impacts on the humans involved.

The optimizations always turn into human goals, eg my manager needs to optimize for productivity if they want a bonus (or not get optimized out themselves), which means they need to measure or estimate or judge or guess each of their employees’ productivity, and stupid MBA shit like Jack Welch’s “fire the lowest 10% every year”) results in horrible human outcomes.

Sure there are people who need to be fired, but making it an optimization exercise enshittified it.

Same for customer service. Amazon wants to optimize revenue. Customer service and returns are expensive. Return too many things? You’re fired as a customer.

Call your mobile providers customer service too often? Fired.

Plus let’s not staff customer service with people empowered to do, well, service. Let’s let IVRs and hold times keep the volumes low.

All anecdotes but you’ve experienced something similar often enough to know it is the rule, not the exception, and it’s all due to over-optimization.
Thank you for explaining that! Seems a tough call doing that versus flagging the root comment of the acrimony, but maybe that alternate approach would have a bigger (too big) cost in disruption once there is such a small continent of comments built out under the top comment.
