Ok, imagine the following: you are a (young and probably underpaid) summer intern; you suddenly get the task to drop whatever else you were doing (which was probably more interesting) and read through megabytes of mind-numbing documents; you have little to no personal "skin in the game"; and still, you somehow manage to muster the motivation to pay enough attention so you are able to spot the one interesting email among the thousands of irrelevant ones. Does it sound more remarkable now?
Also commenting on random irrelevant changed line because you can't comment on unchanged ones (but they might need changes due to rest of the PR).

Github code review is horrible and I think it's actually worse than not having anything at all because now it's hard to convince people we should switch to something better. "Oh I don't want to learn another tool, github is good enough"
Can you read this sentence and tell me how none of this follows from it?

> SpaceX and Starlink have the same owner, both are private companies, with SpaceX launching 80% of the global space payload last year and rising, and Starlink has a constellation two orders of magnitude bigger than any competitor. It’s over. And IMO it’s awesome.

It says: "It's a private monopoly, and IMO it's awesome"
> Fame isn't relevant.

Of course it is relevant. As your post admits the author's recognized in some community that led them to post such things. If it weren't for their relative fame, their letter would be ignored. My take is about the relative fame of them vs Musk. Both are members of Royal Society, so that credential is moot. What else does the author have to make their case? Why should one listen to them, and take their opinion seriously, over Musk, who is the first and only one in the world who has caught rocket boosters in the history of the world? What is the author's accomplishments?
> Volexity now determined the attacker was connecting to the network via wireless credentials they had brute-forced from an Internet-facing service. However, it was not clear where the attacker was physically that allowed them to connect to the Enterprise Wi-Fi to begin with. Further analysis of data available from Organization A’s wireless controller showed which specific wireless access points the attacker was connecting to and overlayed them on a map that had a layout of the building and specific floors.

This is the kind of hackery I'd enjoy seeing in a blockbuster movie.
Maybe overcomplicated is the better term? Constantly adding "basic" features on top of each other might create us a Jira.

> Yeah, I'd class that as high- and low- status behaviour.

Interesting. You mean it’s high-status to disregard rules that don’t have formal consequences?

I guess I’m a bit confused, in that we clearly used to have a society that operated much more on rules without formal consequences. E.g. here in Sweden our law books are absolutely filled with them. Obviously there must have been high-status people that took them seriously in the past, otherwise we wouldn’t have been a well functioning society.
I Accidentally destroyed production database on first day of a job (2017)
Everything is ideological. But reading the excerpts from the RS Code of Conduct she posted, Musk's behavior does seem to go against it.

Also, you cannot deny that Musk has been amplifying conspiracy theories. Does not matter if he believes in them or just does it for the "lolz".
They are all capitalist companies, not "evil". Are capitalist companies evil? Yes, most of them. Complaining about them 'monopolizing' the market without questioning free market (which is actually oligarchy market) doesn't make much sense. So the entertainment cartel and the copyright cartel are different ones but both part of the oligarchy market and they will protect each other to protect themselves.

This market isn't small or owned by 6 companies, they are hundreds, even thousands, including all YC-funded projects.
So you're saying that since they have 24x the size of factory (pre-expansion), with just 5.3x the people, that Chinese workers are 4.52x as effective?
I am going to call it, Microsoft has not been particularly good stewards of GitHub.

They have over complicated so much of it to please corporate customers that it has really lost what made it great to begin with.

It used to make everything seem simple and manageable. Changes were slow, sure, but they felt like they were at least thought through. The docs used to be simple and easy to navigate. Everything is about 10x more complex now.
Websites that refresh instead of returning you to the previous page (HN in this case) should be nuked off the internet. Microsfot does that A LOT on their support forums.
I assume 1-3 hops of modern switches without congestion. Given 100Gb/s lanes these numbers are possible if you get all the bottlenecks out of the way. The moment you hit a deep queue the latency explodes.
> Changing 1% of code on top of that is probably not really that much compared

Quite a few companies have millions and millions of lines of code. Changing 1% of it would mean changing more than 10K lines of code, perhaps even more than 100K. In much bigger code bases, where changing anything has a risk of breaking something — not just because you might make a mistake, but because your program is full of Undefined Behaviour, and changing anything might manifest latent bugs.

Given that, I'm not surprised people say that Sutter quote with a straight face.
> The fact is that people in public areas can and should expect to be filmed

Says who? I certainly don't agree with this. It's a societal decision whether or not we want or need video surveillance, which is very different from some random dude filming me with his smartphone. Evidence on whether or not video surveillance is _effective_ is also, at the very least, inconclusive [1] and highly depends on location.

So no, I don't think people should expect to be filmed by their government or its contractors at all, _especially_ not in public places :)

> Running a smaller business takes the same amount of work as running a bigger one.

It does however, take a lot more capital to run the bigger one. From a personal perspective the opportunity cost of starting the bigger company is all the luxuries and security that cash-in-hand brings, not to mention the possibility of an even better business opportunity arising in the future.
That's reasonable. Could also decimate the adtech industry and cut them down to just serving ads based on keyword searches and location, like they did 20 years ago
> and their tooling slowly pushes people away from FOSS and towards proprietary methods.

Can you explain this one in a bit more detail?
I agree, also the source code viewer (not sure what it's called) has regressed tremendously. A few years back it was simple, quite snappy and just worked. Now it has become slow and bloated and barely works for me on the desktop and the mobile version is full of rendering bugs rendering the whole thing rather useless. (Using firefox both on mobile and on the PC)

All they had to do, literally, was to do nothing but no, can't have that. MUST ADD BLOAT.

It's a great tool. My use-case is a bit unusual: I decommissioned an Oracle Portal instance and decided to keep a copy of the tables in SQLite so that I can recover files people may later remember they need. It's much easier than maintaining an Oracle instance.

It's a nice feature of SQLiteStudio that you can click on a blob and see the image, if it's an image file.
The article is sensational and deeply misleading.

Yes, the plane has a lot of bugs. It's got complicated software and hardware. You can't compare it to the relatively simple older designs that didn't deal with stealth.

Yes they don't need to test dogfights because war isn't a video game. When the enemy sees the f35 it is after it already sent the missile in your direction. You don't need to dogfight if you're an invisible ghost that can kill from a distance.

The f16 had a ton of bugs such as flipping over when south of the equator. It's a much better machine now and the f35 has all the makings to be a similar leap forward.
I always strongly advise consultants to use a separate machine for work, or at the very least a separate OS user.

To be very clear, this only applies to private individuals setting up cameras. The government is very much able to surveil the population to its hearts content [1] (link German). There are plenty of "security" cameras around Berlin, at least.

There are many ways to slice this, for example emissions per capita (which can also be current vs historical cumulative, etc.), all of which should be studied since this is a complex problem.
Typhoon would have been a good fit for Canada but the US vetoed it.
For a such an interface to be feasible to support in common open source infrastructure it needs a pure software implementation for testing and development purposes. Even better something along the lines of coz to even model performance by throttling down everything else proportionally.
When Family Guy s21e11 (2023) parodies Sleepless in Seattle (1993), they make a point of mocking the fact that a kid left his backpack behind at the Empire State building, as if an unattended bag in a public area is an unthinkable idea.

The show is usually pretty self-aware when it comes to jokes about terrorism and post-911 hysteria, so it was surprising to see this one played straight.

It reminded me of the meme that went around in 2007 - "If it isn't an American flag, it's probably a bomb".
Clutter accumulates in any bug tracker.

Ideally they'd've been cleaning it out more regularly and these feature requests would've been marked "not currently on the roadmap" and closed much sooner.

But I don't think I've ever seen a team do a perfect job of that, and I'm probably worse at it than they are.

I honestly blame Apple for pushing FaceID, as it completely normalized facial recognition on a mass scale. Nobody thinks about this at all anymore.

(No, it's not entirely Apple's fault, but I do think this point warrants more notice/discussion)
Haha, been there. Personally I don't have a strong opinion about WFH, but I prefer working in an office. But in the past years it has become my first question during interviews: "Would I have a dedicated desk in the office that I could always use when I'm working?"

I mean, in a valley between several hundred meter tall mountains I’d expect my signal to drop, but I often have to go pretty far.

I love that they want to recreate it, as I spent quite some time with the original when I was younger.

However, right now it doesn't seem to run that well. I'm getting estimated framerates of around 5 fps on a M3 Macbook Pro, making it essentially unplayable.

I don't see any other comments about the performance - am I the only one?
People are strange when you’re a stranger.
I think it's important to recognize the irony in how much SpaceX and Tesla benefit from government programs and funds that he now wants to turn off as part of DOGE, but you can't say SpaceX has barely done anything.
I wish they would put more effort in Github Issues (the project management product). They are so close to have something that just exactly what I need. But it seems like they haven't touched it in a couple of years. There are still many rough edges that has been there since the beta.
Though in that case the exact prediction made did come true. Massive gas price increases due to the Ukraine war bankrupted a bunch of businesses selling fixed price energy that they could no longer supply without making unsustainable losses.

Various government interventions followed but they were so bad you might assume that they were more interested in ensuring their mates in the gas industry made high profits than protecting the nation from the fallout.
It's amusing to see this message heavily upvoted on HN when most mentions of Firefox here are welcomed with an avalanche of perfect solution fallacies.

I'm dubious about people becoming militant about this when the software engineering industry gave Chrome a red carpet by using it and installing it on their relatives' computers while knowing very well it's adware and when switching to the alternative is incredibly cheap.
That certainly looks less trivial than writing it directly in your .gitconfig file.

I've used it for many years. Never faced this problem.
I think I agree with you for discrete product releases, but for ongoing SaaS and moreso PaaS, it's helpful for integrations to have some visibility on your roadmap. I'm might just write a hack workaround for some issue if I have a belief that in 2024 you'll solve X -- I've got bigger fish to fry. But if I know you've removed it from your roadmap and it was planned by me, I can put it on mine to resolve. Surprising me with features means more often than I care to admit I write something to solve a problem, use it for a few months, and then vendor comes out with a solution to it that's close enough and better supported so I toss out code -- with a roadmap I could have avoided overlapping efforts.

But I'm more on the operational side - so I care more than most about the integrations with lots of vendors, different PoV's may of course differ.

This is infuriating that it's missing. Not being able to just say "Hey, missed updating this line" is just an insane oversight
My impression is that the US system does, but the higher accuracy is still reserved for military use?
Unfortunately we do not measure combat weapons in terms of commercial success.

We measure them in terms of lethality and reliability.
> If Sega had held onto that Nvidia stock from then... ChatGPT tells me: "So, if you invested $5 million in Nvidia stock at its IPO in 1999, it would be worth approximately $3 billion today, assuming a current share price of $450 and accounting for stock splits."

why not just either do the math yourself or not include it at all? I don’t find GPT math about realtime prices and such to be even slightly reliable given the; market fluctuations , latest training data & of course the hallucinations.
Elon Musk recently made some remarks about F-35 on Twitter: https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1860574377013838033

It's exactly what I was thinking about: Having a pilot onboard is overhead and its a limiting factor for the flight envelope as you have to keep it alive. Besides, it's not invisible despite calling it that. It's visible in the visible spectrum and hearable in the human hearing range, which means that you can build detection and tracking systems in those wavelengths instead of pretending that its invisible because its hard to detect at radar wavelengths.

Why just not drop any manned vehicles and go for the remote control + AI? What is the logic? Sunken cost fallacy? Military industrial complex needs it?

The only thing I can think of is the political implications of downing plane with a soldier on board.
There was a time when the dream of open source was healthy and strong. GitHub was a big part of the movement. So it shouldn't be surprising that they did more of their planning in the open than a company like Apple.

There are tradeoffs with secrecy. Trust me when I tell you, secrecy comes at a cost. It limits the flow of ideas, even within your own organization.

I'm tempted to agree with you anyways, since I've been in the situation before where we wanted to change things we were making while we were making them. You don't want to give off the impression that you don't know what you're doing.

Honestly, this kinda goes back to agile vs. waterfall too. It's all about defining requirements and meeting them.
They should have just used a key to gouge "THE MOON RULZ" on the mayor's car instead.
Starlink DTC bandwidth is orders of magnitude higher than Apple's.
Threads attracted a lot of people that I left behind on Facebook. It also gets a lot of people that cross-post to every platform. I can't think of a single post that I saw and still remember.

Bluesky lets you block reposts and that has been the killer feature for me. Original content from people I choose is the best recipe for my tastes. Also, I spend a lot of time on niche creative feeds and really enjoy the things I see.

I also like the idea of seeing regional and local feeds. That was an interesting part of early Twitter that was obliterated by national political emphasis. No more political hot takes, where is a good Korean BBQ spot?
So, are you talking about theoretical latencies here based on bandwidths and cable lengths, or actual measured latencies end-to-end between hosts?

I know that "in principle" the physics of the cabling allows single digit microseconds, but I've never seen it anywhere near that low even with cross-over cables with zero switches in-path!
Something we just ran in to: There are two UTF-8 codepoints for the @ character, the normal one and "Full width At Sign U+FF20". It took a lot of head scratching to understand why several Japanese users could not be found with their email address when I was seeing their email right there in the database.
I used to work at a startup with a character who would set his identity to be random fairytale-sounding nonsense, changing every day. So his commits on Monday would be attributed to Mr. Bunnymann, and Tuesday would be Doctor Funtime, etc.

It was super unhelpful when trying to do version control forensics. But if I'm being generous, I think maybe he was trying to remind everyone that anyone can put anything in their identity config, and we shouldn't trust whatever is in there for all that much.

So which argument are we actually discussing here? Because in the OPs post and in yours there are two different arguments that, for whatever reason, are bundled together and used as a motte and bailey.

Argument #1: Certain kids are privileged enough to be able to afford tutoring and get into good schools and this is unfair to the poor kids

Argument #2: Certain kids are being pushed UNNECESSARILY by their parents to participate in a rat race when their time would be better suited to doing something else
This is already the air force's tentative plan. They made several announcements (10+yr ago) when it was new about the F35 being the last manned fighter and then kinda walked that back because PR but kept pursuing it.

I know you're being funny, but that's sort of the point. There's an important "use-mention" distinction when it comes to historical character sets. You surely could try to communicate in authentic Unicode Akkadian (𒀝𒅗𒁺𒌑(𒌝) but what's much more likely is that you really just want to refer to characters or short strings thereof while communicating anything else in a modern living language like English. I don't want to stop someone from trying to revive the language for fun or profit, but I think there's an important distinction between cases of primarily historical interest like that, and cases that are awkward but genuine like Inuktut.

The problem with cheap 4k projectors is that they are pixel-shifted 1080p projectors. Combine that with DLPs colorwheel tech, and you are relying persistence-of-vision to combine at least 12 frames into one image.

Why does str implement AsRef<OsStr>?
The trouble with bug tracking / project management software is that everybody wants Just One More Feature.

But if you implement them all, it will become an overcomplicated mess, somebody will replace it with a simpler version, and the cycle will repeat.

Would I like some of the features they've decided not to implement? Yes.

Would I hate the results if they implemented everything on this list? Also yes.

And making everything configurable so you can pick the exact subset you want is (a) an incredible amount of work to make the resulting combinatorial explosion of possible choices all work nicely (b) tends to inevitably lead to something like JIRA.

I do appreciate people being annoyed about specific features they'd really like getting removed from the roadmap, but so it goes.
