What gets me about the insurance billing is that besides being complex for me, it is also complex for the insurance company - people on the other side are just people, after all, not some infallible super-intelligent aliens. And the failures that come out of that are kind of hard to believe for people used to nationalized health care; my favorite example was a $15k bill I received months after a surgery that I called back to get more details, upon which the agent said something like "oh that's coded wrong" and after a few keyboard taps I owed $500. What if I had paid the original amount without asking? How many people do not ask? And the cynical question, how often do the "coding errors" happen the other way?
To be honest a typical netizen is gullible AF, do you remember that FB screenshot where men simped to a 19th century French painting of a topless woman?
As I usually have to point out to you, registrars can’t add DNSSEC to domains. Only DNS server operators can do that. They often have to have the cooperation of the registrar to do it, but not always; sometimes, if the registry supports CDS/CDNSKEY records, the DNS server operator can add DNSSEC all by themselves. And why would DNS server operators add DNSSEC to their domains, unless the domain owners wanted them to?

It's one of many network protocol improvements that could never be used effectively due to middle boxes. QUIC is specifically designed to prevent ossification like this.

That's a good point but.. if they have enough inventory that almost points to a sign that inventory is not moving. They may stop producing them until they figure a way (an app) to spark a buying trend.
Yup, it's just a PGO profile (alternatively, developers can also create their own profile and ship that for their app).
Probably performance. It's an old game, it seems faster if the mines can get generated before the user first clicks, and then move the mine if their first click was on a mine. If you wait for them to click to generate then the entire generation step has to run before the user notices.

Sounds simple in theory, but not so simple in practice? You can't possibly encode all the legitimate exclusions into a big banner you can advertise, and nobody wants to read an essay to figure out the common case. You'd need to draw the line somewhere and I'm not sure that's an easy boundary to delineate.

Any conference recommendations? I'm tracking 2024 and 2025 software engineering conferences. There are still several marquee conferences before year end if that's your thing.

The point of out-of-order execution is effectively to be able to run parallel computations that don't use the same underlying hardware, eg you can run an integer operation and a floating-point operation in parallel because they use different functional units, or even two integer operations in parallel if you have redundant integer functional units.

Branch prediction / speculative execution then takes that further by making an assumption of which arm of the branch will be taken and executing the instructions in that arm too. When the instruction for the branch completes fully, and the prediction turned out to be correct, the processor continues as normal. If the prediction turned out to be wrong, the processor throws away the pending changes from the incorrectly speculated instructions and starts again from the correct branch arm.

An in-order CPU waits for each instruction to finish before it processes the next one. There's no way to work around that in software. At best the hardware can insert latches into the ALU etc so that instructions take the smallest number of clock cycles that they need (eg multiply takes six cycles but add takes only one).

The alternative is VLIW ISAs that rely on the compiler to encode multiple instructions that can execute in parallel into a single instruction. That didn't work out well in the past for general computing as demonstrated by Itanium etc, though it's still used for restricted domains like DSPs.

If only our society had some orderly process to balance privacy with public safety - such as by having the cops explain to a judge why they need to track a given person, for how long, and so on.

Perhaps also some rules about what counts as a good enough reason, and telling judges they can't grant overly broad, blanket permission.

Someone should put something in the constitution about that.

Paper mills: the 'cartel-like' companies behind fraudulent scientific journals
I love the fact that one of the customers used T-Mobile’s own Terms and Conditions to refute the notion that prices could be increased, regardless of the language in the FAQ.

As the article reports, this is what the terms valid at the time said: “If you are on a price-lock guaranteed Rate Plan, we will not increase your monthly recurring Service charge ('Recurring Charge') for the period that applies to your Rate Plan, or, if no specific period applies, for as long as you continuously remain a customer in good standing on a qualifying Rate Plan.”

That’s a pretty massive screw-up on the part of T-Mobile’s legal department. I sure hope this helps the affected customers.

Well, it doesn’t help matters when CIOs berate us at town halls “the entire company blew up literally because someone clicked ONE LINK they shouldn’t have!!!!” and I’ve sat through many of those “blame the user” sessions.

Two factor has resulted in similar berating. “How dare someone click APPROVE at 2am?!” Well, they were trying to silence the phone when they were attempting to sleep. Why are you allowing pushes outside of business hours without an additional layer of security? Maybe that giant APPROVE button isn’t the best default option at 2am?
I truly cannot fathom there are people who actually enjoy ultra-targeted ads.

You understand the purpose of advertising is to attempt to manipulate you into spending money you wouldn't otherwise, right? Even if you enjoy the product, I too enjoyed smoking. A lot. I miss it actually.

The point is that it's targeting your brain, and the monkey-brain of humanity in general, with the intention of siphoning money from you to them. Hyper-consumerism isn't a virtue, it's an addiction. Sincerely, I doubt you'd be worse off if you bought less stuff. Or, rather, considered your purchases in a less impulsive manner - buying from an ad is impulsive.

I also struggle to understand how Facebook and Instagram have made anyone "socially richer". From where I'm standing, the proliferation of social media has greatly increased all the bad parts of human social nature. Competitiveness, insecurity, self-hatred. These platforms are designed for maximum engagement and as such they target your most sensitive emotion, particularly fear.

It's gotten to a point where most people cannot even socialize in-person properly due to the fear. Everyone is hyper-aware of how they may be perceived, and everyone is constantly comparing themselves to others. In addition, fear about the state of the world has been on the rise for a while. There's 0 doubt in my mind that social media has been instrumental to this degredation.
Thanks!

Re: callbacks. They are very nice, when you have CRUD endpoints that modify models directly from JavaScript [1]. It ends up being pretty DRY, especially since you'll find yourself modifying the same model from different places in the code, and without callbacks, you'll have bad data.

Re: service layer. It's a matter of taste, and you can probably avoid it until you're way in the thousands of LOCs. Rails and Django are all about building quickly - that's an advantage you shouldn't give away to your competitors. Service layer is a drag that you may need as an "enterprise".

Re: MVC not production-ready, we know that's not true, but appreciate the hot take, always a good starting point for a great discussion.

Re: existing ORMs, they were not flexible enough. I used ActiveRecord and Django as my inspiration; those are both excellent ORMs, while existing Rust ORMs lean too heavily on type safety in Rust in my opinion. The database should be the source of truth for data types, and the framework should allow for intentional drift.

Hope you get to try Rust soon. I've been using it for years, and I don't want to go back to Python or Ruby, hence this project.

Cheers!

I have the opposite experience with warranty.

this is really a short-sighted and uninformed take on what games have been successful and praised by fans over the years.

four of the most successful (perhaps iconic) games in history do not exactly meet your description in any meaningful way: baldurs gate franchise, warcraft franchise, different mmo franchises, diablo franchise.

but let's take your description and apply them to iconic fps over the years:

doom, ok shooty mc shooty goes shootin -- doomguy agrees. but theres a lot more to doom than just shooting.

cs source: nah sorry tactical strategy is not shooty mc shooty goes shootin.

quake world up to quake live/quake champions: nah sorry tactical strategy and fps-chess (duel) is not shooty mc shooty goes shootin.

halo franchise: epic sci-fi campaign story which was differentiating at the time AND tactical strategy -- while it sorta fits your description, it also sorta bucks it in the face because it was praised for its campaign as well as its online play.

overwatch: role-based tactical strategy.

battle royal genre: kinda shooty mc shootin goes shooting, but on hard mode with variance and.. tactical strategy requirement.

i mean the list goes on. reducing the surface area of FPS games historically to just some reddit meme bc it gets a lot of updoots makes me think you do not have a ton of experience playing shooters historically or otherwise (happy to be proven wrong here).

marketing is strong.

> doesn't report this sort of syntax error

It’s because it’s not a syntax error, but a legal construct. SuperHTML disallows things HTML allows.
Except there is so little investment in devs and the ecosystem that even as a devkit it falls flat. VR/AR is a teensy niche of simulation enthusiasts and a large group of people who essentially play 30 minutes of beat saber occasionally. That's not exactly a thriving market, and Apple explicitly eschewed that market entirely, because nobody sims on a mac anything, and there are no controllers to play beat saber with.

Where are the grants to devs to buy and develop something good for it? Apple just kind of expected everyone to do that work for free for them. Watching movies on an airplane is not a $3500 use case. Mirroring your desktop to a head mounted display that is too heavy and cumbersome to be a $3500 use case. Putting iPad apps into the air is not a $3500 use case.

Where's the killer app? What even IS a killer app for head mounted displays? They've been around for 30 years now. It has never been an insufficient hardware problem. The original oculus devkits were genuinely terrible, but VR IS a killer app for sim enthusiasts, so they rushed to implement it into everything they could straight away. Euro Truck Simulator was one of the earliest integrations. But that's not an Apple market and never will be.

If someone wants VR/AR to be some stupid ShadowRun heads up display for managing all the info you encounter in the world, that app should be built and iterated on first. How many average people even run an "organize and remember everything" app? What percentage of iPhone users even use the damn calendar?

What happens if the NY Times tech staff strikes on election night?
In the US, you do not need a residential address; you need a domicile. Your domicile determines e.g. what taxes you pay, and where you register your vehicles. You can't opt out of taxes ;)

Your domicile can be a family member's or friend's residence, or you can pay a company to provide you with that service ("Commercial Mail Handling Agent").

I "lived" in a mail cubicle of a service provider company for some 3 years, while driving around the country in a motorhome.

For bank KYC rules, the bank's automation may recognize and refuse prominent companies like that, much like they refuse PO boxes. A human may sometimes override that decision. That's unrelated to definition of domicile, and banks will generally also accept KYC information for a family member instead. Or you plan ahead and get KYC'ed before you move into non-traditional domicile situation.

> Amazon is notorious for allowing shady practices

Yes! As a heavy, long-time Amazon user I hate this and have to believe Amazon is knowingly complicit either in continuing to enable this shady vendor behavior or conveniently looking the other way. Of course, shady vendors will game whatever measures Amazon might take to prevent such tricks but it's so prevalent I don't think Amazon seriously invests in detection/prevention of 'rating swapping' on an ongoing basis anymore.

Another super annoying thing Amazon enables is allowing sellers to list multiple different products (SKUs) on the same listing. This was originally intended for things like different colors or sizes of the same product but it is frequently abused by vendors to bundle quite different products into one listing and thus sharing one rating.

Before they were the overwhelming market leader, Amazon used to care about and invest in the accuracy and credibility of product reviews and ratings. About 10 years ago they seemed to stop putting as much effort toward this and certainly in the past five years they don't seem to care if vendors subvert the system. I understand bad behavior can never be 100% prevented but Amazon could police and penalize it far more effectively. For example, requiring sellers above a certain volume of sales and listings to have increasingly stringent "real ID" type verification, making it harder (or at least more costly) to just relist under a new identity when caught cheating.
First, it's not a binary choice. It depends on the circumstance.

Also, people are influenced by what other people say, especially people in tech. You can see people on HN saying how hopeless it all is. People on HN and your social circle are listening to what you say.

Combinatoric Iterators from Itertools
Well I have not had dysentery but I have read "Infinite Jest" and had no trouble finishing it. It's an amazing book and particularly so for someone like me who was obsessed with "Hamlet" as a teen. That said it's a serious modern novel and while it contains a lot of very funny parts it's also at times difficult.

If you like David Foster Wallace his other two novels "Broom of the system" and "The Pale King" are also great. The Pale King was left unfinished when he died and was completed (from various drafts and notes) as a labour of love and respect from his notes by his editor. It's genuinely extraordinary and could possibly even have been his greatest work if he had been able to fully complete it. As is there are certain minor things in it that I'm sure he would have revised (eg I noticed some sentences are repeated etc).

If you're not sure about David Foster Wallace I can really recommend his essays and literary criticism as consistently insightful and extraordinary and also his journalism. From his essays for a starting point I would recommend "De Unibus Pluram" and also "Fictional futures and the conspicuously young", and also "Roger Federer as Religious Experience"[1]. Of his journalism I would strongly recommend "Getting away from already being pretty much away from it all" which is an amazing write up of the experience of visiting a rural state fair and "A supposedly fun thing I'll never do again" which is the same sort of thing about going on a cruise ship. Both are very funny and perceptive.

If you like those you know what you're getting into with this novels.
