I don't think anyone would suggest using it in production. The point was to put something usable out into the world so package maintainers could kick the tires and start working on building compatible versions. Now is exactly the time for weird bug reports! It's a thirty year old runtime and one of its oldest constraints is being removed!

Versatile and forward-thinking full-stack software development professional with over 20 years of experience. I leverage cutting-edge technologies to deliver robust and scalable solutions across diverse industries, including gaming, healthcare, fraud detection, lead sales and online courses.
I am passionate about new technologies and I am a quick learner. I'm available for full-time or part-time work.
My experience with big companies is even if the whole IT security team thinks this is worthy of a bounty, and the team has plenty of budget they could allocate to it, the process of giving money to an individual is frequently so difficult to get through the bureaucratic purchase order system that it's basically impossible to do unless you are contractually obliged to pay.
Maybe, but so far we've been pretty successful in just adding patches/bandaids to capitalism to address the places where it falls on it's face. For example, healthcare doesn't fit into a "free market" model, and most countries have figured that out. Even the US, which imposes lots and lots of regulation and protections in healthcare.

Housing, too, could get similar treatment.
My impression was that they were trying to get remote access to ubers US servers/infrastructure/data?

Might be wrong...
> I have been successfully using systemd for years

You are writing that you have been unsuccessfully using systemd for years because of the annoying timeout. I'm replying that it's entierely your fault because it takes seconds to make these timeouts disappear.

That's not toxicity. That's calling out some non sense on the internet.

Because a company just invests the money. You can't take out money from a company as an owner without taxing it anyway (because you anyway have to pay capital gains tax / personal income tax). My point was that I don't see a point in having corporate income tax (that's just an additional tax that prevents companies from investing in the business and employees).
> Who will stop them? The government which they control in this scenario

The private sector does not control the government in this scenario. That is the difference. The private sector only controls its own property. Now if there is public ownership of property, then yes the capital owning class will resort to controlling the state to control the property, and thereby controlling the military to enforce the rules the capital owning class wants.

When every website on the internet is your possible input set, there are some bugs, but it should work on most framer sites. That said, the extension is WAY BETTER at smaller components (sections of a given site) versus the entire site. The entire webpage is often just far too big.
They are always taking this one and that one down so using yandex I've found to be a good solution.

Tho I don't use pirate sites too too much ..use YouTube 80 percent of the time and TikTok 10 percent. I rarely can sit through and watch long format content.

Agreed, and I've also come around to the inverse conclusion: if there are words people would like me to use (someone's preferred pronouns, the in-house terminology, the name someone introduced themselves with) then it's not a big deal for me to use them.
Entirely true. China has been storing encrypted data for years specifically preparing for when CRQCs are available [1] and this is a huge concern for basically everyone in the world. There's a solid chance other evil actors have been doing the same.

It depends on the application. I've worked at places where the main application being written needs 128GB to run. Another where it's computationally intense and will take hours for a single run on anything but the most massive machines. Another where the dataset is huge and simply being remote makes the bandwidth requirements untenable unless you live across from a data center. I've seen teams just accept their workflow will take 15 minutes each time they run their app because they're copying stuff from remote each time. Remote dev gives you as beefy a machine as you want, with the fastest network and lowest bandwidth.

But that's only the resource problem. Another problem I have seen my entire career, is devs can't keep their machines configured the same. They have different model laptops, they don't pin their app versions, they configure and install things by hand. Each time they change something by accident it takes them hours, days, sometimes weeks, to get it working again. That also can lead to bugs developing the app, which wastes a huge amount of time.

And then there's the fact that their local copy runs completely differently than it does in production. This leads to the app being written with certain assumptions about how it runs, that turn out to be false in production. I've seen this lead to catastrophe, as well as just weeks to months of wasted time, trying to track down issues. This is an undeniable, existential issue.

Finally, it's rare for local setups to be secure. Often devs get too much access from their local machines, and this is stolen by infostealer malware and compromise happens. A protected remote environment is easier to secure. A lot of development is hampered by all the crappy corporate security tools that's on laptops now. Remote dev allows you to bypass all that and have a fully working yet protected network without restrictions.

Is remote dev a pain? Right now, yeah, because nobody has made it be less painful. So of course it's easier on the local machine. But it's not ideal. I'm sure eating with a spoon was more painful than eating with your hands, until forks were popularized in the 18th century. Change took a long time, but I think most of us prefer the change once new tools became widely available.

Those are ABI changes and not changes to the language.
Well… they could negotiate $70k/yr from the employer, and that would be allowed (in 2025) without further employee contributions (as that hits the total max contribution limit).

A $200k/yr employee with no employer contribution would be limited to $23,500 contribution (in 2025 limits).

[edit] actually that’s not quite true, though, because IIRC contribution rules have to be uniform, to avoid horse-shit like maxing out upper management at $70k and contributing nothing for lower-level employees, limiting them to $23.5k tax-advantaged no matter how much hard try to save, I.e. to prevent the whole damn scheme from benefiting mostly the already well-off more than it’s probably going to regardless.

Did you have these pages (the tab itself) open before you installed the extension? Try refreshing the page and seeing if that works, so that Chrome knows the extension is now available on that page.

If that doesn't fix it, I would love to know what sites don't allow selection at all, I actually haven't seen that before: alex [at] magicpatterns.com

> Pinning deps is discouraged by years of Python practice.

I'm not sure it is discouraged so much as just not what people did in Python-land for a long time. It's obviously the right thing to do, it's totally doable, it's just inertia and habit that might mean it isn't done.
You can always refactor. Sure it takes time and effort but it is possible. And it serves as a good painful experience to invest more on design first, to your point :)
My understanding is that the primary goal is to determine that if a program is pulling in a dependency, and only using a small part of it, to determine if that part is vulnerable or not. This allows a program owner to know if they need to do an emergency version bump in the face of a CVE or something like that. For some businesses doing emergency deployments is a massive deal.
This is assuming said trees could even grow in such a different environment. I'd be surprised of they get far, given that even with the right nutrients and sunlight, there's still the matter of gravitropism for the plant to 'sense' how to grow correctly.

I thought this was a joke project TBH. This use case is satisfied by so many products out there that I struggle to see how this differentiates from any general purpose KV or database, not even considering more purpose built services like Etcd or Consul. Maybe the SDK? But there are plenty of hot reloading SDKs that are vendor agnostic.
I went from one to the other and life got better. Maybe you can’t pick but it turns out I can. Up to readers whether they want to be like you or like me.
I get where you’re coming from, but keeping retirement separate from an ‘in case shit happens’ fund is key. A nominal contribution to a 401k isn’t entirely a bad move, though—it still offers tax deferral and potential employer matches, which can be worthwhile even if you’re not going all-in on it as your only long-term savings strategy.
As someone who works in a company with 10,000+ professional engineers*: yes, yes they do make mistakes. Despite what you seem to think, they are actually human beings. Good processes understand this and have multiple layers to catch and correct mistakes. But it's hard to fight limited data. Plenty of engineering decisions are still made based on numbers in photocopied tables from two or three studies from 50 years ago, each having a dozen or two data points. It's surprising how limited some of the data is that these Professional Engineers are basing their decisions on.

*Edit: okay, I don't know exactly how many are officially PEs vs. junior engineers or something, but at least that many are "PE-track".
The 2001 spacecraft was implied to be a NERVA-type nuclear rocket (ie push working fluid through a high temperature reactor), rather than an Orion type (propulsion via small nuclear explosions).

I take a different lesson from this - there are parts of software that you can change easily and parts that are 100x more difficult, and you should design your system so that you know which regime you're in at all times.

> You could have moved Mount Fuji with a teaspoon, but that doesn't matter unless they are on board with whatever you did. If they are, then that accomplishment will be billed as "did something nobody else could possibly do", and you are the best thing since sliced bread. On the other hand, if they aren't on board, then that same project will turn into "you should have used it as an opportunity to delegate tasks to other employees", and you're a sorry excuse for an engineer. At this point, facts don't matter.

That... seems fine? If my english teacher assigned me a book report, and I come back with a proof of one of the Millennium Prize Problems, I still shouldn't get an A? In a good organization, individuals SHOULD have the latitude to identify and solve what they believe is The Most Important Thing to work on, but part of working on that is making the case for why it's important.

That said, I definitely agree that your relationship with your manager will determine how hard you have to work to make that case.
Thank you for the feedback, this is helpful!

One of the features we're excited about adding is a way to cache values locally. Having control of cache ttl and refresh intervals would be a must if we added that. You're right that the tool should just work without the developer worrying about affecting latency.

Hearing about use cases that the extension wasn't designed for is always fun: thanks for sharing and cool extension! They aren't easy to build! We use Plasmo.
Many languages have. There were significant breaks in C++ when stringabi changed, Swift has had major language changes, rust has editions.

The difference is in what motivates getting to the other end of that transition bump and how big the bump is. That’s why it took till past 2.7’s EOL to actually get people on to 3 in a big way because they’d drag their feet if they don’t see a big enough change.

Compiled languages have it easier because they don’t need to mix source between dependencies, they just have to be ABI compatible.
Ask HN: I Built This Clipboad Manager App - Should I launch it?
In a specific scenario, I have made use of interface values, and type switches as a form of "tagged union" / "sum type".

All it requires is that the module defining the interface, and structs implementing it, are in the same package, and the interface requires a private method.

I used that to have a message type, passing instances of it over a channel of that interface, and demuxing based on a type switch of the message.

One could use a similar scheme for return values from functions, just that for the simple error / no-error case it would not be idiomatic, however that should not prevent one from doing so if desired.
I don't know why you're telling me this, I know it - and it's not relevant at all without knowing the numbers.
Wasn't half of the concern with the arrest of Ross Ulbricht figuring when they could get him with his computer unlocked, without time to lock/wipe it? They'd have a pretty hard time proving destruction of evidence if 1. they didn't know for sure evidence was on that specific computer and 2. it was destroyed rather than just that the decryption key was removed from memory.

Regardless, the government violating an individual's rights doesn't mean we should yell at uber, it means we should yell at the government.

It's from February 2021, and counts deaths since December 2010, which is just above 10 years.

That makes the yearly death number about 650.
Agree on all counts. I'm sorry you had to go through an unfair accusation. I've been there and it sucks.

> It simply explains a lot of his (odd) reasoning and behavior. It does not absolve him from his behavior, nor does it acquit him from time in prison for his criminal deeds.

100 times yes. That was what I was trying to convey, though mostly from the point-of-view that the police, public opinion and the podcaster have used his behaviour to amplify his guilt and the perception of him being a monster.

I don't even see why anyone would need any more than the fact that he murdered his children's mother to condemn him. Everything else is irrelevant and not necessarily an indication that he was going to commit a crime, as the podcast suggests. I guess it wouldn't make for nearly as much a compelling and revolting story.
Is that true? I'm not a lawyer but AFAIU, you don't have to provide incriminating evidence against yourself?

When I was in college, I once found some bad exploits in the sims social on Facebook, the subsidiary (Playfish?) behind it asked me for my address and which console I owned and then unexpectedly sent me a huge number of games and goodies. It was great. Better than money, I think (I sold some of those games anyway).

I reached out to employees via unofficial channels. I'm sure if I had spoken to some exec I'd be in jail right now.

Dreams and fear have an odd and slightly unintuitive relationship. When we are anxious and awake the amygdala is active and norepinephrine (the “fight or flight” neurotransmitter) is high.

During REM sleep, surprisingly the amygdala is inactive and norepinephrine is 85% lower than base waking levels (not high anxious levels). So the brain is in a super relaxed state!

I wrote a paper on the implications for dream content and interpretation (I’m a psychotherapist in training).

Pro-reform prosecutors are rarer than hens' teeth. It's like being a decent person and then becoming a police officer. The rot is institutionalized and it is very hard to avoid being changed once you're inside the system.

The criminal justice system has taken some reasonable reforms in the last decade (e.g. Illinois' removal of cash bail), but all of these reforms have come from outside pressure groups, not an internal moment of realization.

There is no incentive for prosecutors to improve. A 2003 report by the Center for Public Integrity examined over 11,400 allegations of prosecutorial misconduct between 1970 and 2003, leading to dismissals in 2,012 cases. Despite this, only 44 prosecutors faced disciplinary action, with seven cases dismissed, and none were disbarred. Only one prosecutor in US history that I'm aware of has ever been criminally convicted for misconduct. The attorney disciplinary board in Illinois informed me they will no longer even accept complaints of misconduct against prosecutors, only defense attorneys.
It would be a shameful travesty if the Clay Institute refused to award the prize for a correct proof that P vs. NP was independent of ZFC. In my mind, this would be a more interesting result than either a proof or a disproof!
I question whether it is the prosecutor's primary job to reduce crime. Instead I think it is their job to get justice under the law for crimes committed.

I was well along in age before becoming aware that prosecutors have a far greater impact on our justice system than courts and juries, via plea deals, adding or dropping various charges, letting statutes of limitations run, and so on.
