pretty impressive how Marc Andreessen gets so many basic facts wrong and how Rogan's platform then blasts this misinformation out to its tens and millions of followers
I activated it back in mid 2010 or so. I had the most amazing pikachuface when random things stopped working because it could no longer find that file it wanted to load with an all-lowercase-string even though the project builds it with CapitalCase. Sigh...
This is why I usually do the simpler ones and then stop... Otherwise, I just can’t skip, it’s stronger than me.
Looks cool.

It's definitely harder, as you say. Not only do you have to think about technical aspects of security and privacy, but also the legal requirements for those things, and how they differ across countries.

But the complexity is not so much worse than it was in 2016, and yet in 2016 we could manage it.

The type of things I see in the FAANG world lately would not be happening 10 years ago: CI that randomly fails 5% of the time because everybody knows React, but nobody knows how to set up a Linux machine. The fact that USB drivers on M1 macs are still broken and nobody at Apple knows how to fix them, or that Apple seems to have no one on staff who knows what EDID is.

We're not failing because of new complexity, it's the stuff we put up to manage the old complexity that we can no longer service. And that won't get better until we accept that the answer is not "rebuild it from scratch, but this time let's have new grads do it with no training."

> I doubt very many of us are working on pure intranet apps.

I think this is part of the problem. The reason why your Mac will kernel panic if you plug in two external screens from the same production run is because nobody is working on "purely intranet apps" like the display driver.

I don't want to sound like I believe we were somehow smarter 10 years ago. But you had relatively solid foundations to build on and people were incentivized and given mentorship to attain mastery. We need to bring that back.
> I'm "calling into" react (3) times here, while react is calling "into me" (1) time.

It's calling into you three or more times, invisibly, if I remember the details of what useEffect and useState actually do at runtime correctly. Which rather illustrates the point.

> Are we saying any external source code that accepts a function as a parameter is considered a framework?

Code that accepts a function for narrowly scoped use where the control flow is still under your control (e.g. map/reduce/filter libraries) is probably not a framework. But external code where you register a callback that gets called some time later, not under your control, is pretty much the definition of a framework.
“It also has hollow, tube-shaped inclusions called en echelon veins that are caused by shear stress – evidence of its natural formation.”
> I wonder if LLMs can generate docs at any reasonable level of usefulness and accurate

A lot of times documentation isn’t read by anyone for stretches of time till it’s needed. I imagine documentation by LLMs will make the situation worse if nobody verifies its corectness. I don’t believe in magic solution, good documentation that is not out of date requires work and if a company doesn’t allocate resources no magic will fill in the gaps.
Maybe it is true for Gnome, but KDE is full of critical bugs that would be considered showstoppers for Windows.

KMail doesn't work with Exchange accounts with OAuth/2FA (mine stopped syncing and won't budge).

KRDC messes up input between itself and Plasma (e.g. Win key is sent to both, and then wreaks havoc in remote session).
No worries. Sent you a LinkedIn message.
Interesting perspective.

I’ve always had a distaste for Aristotle, preferring Plato, but after reading this I’m wondering if that stemmed more from the additional lens of the person introducing him to me.

Might have to revisit his work as my older self.
> then that is literally off-topic

It's not, you're claiming they said something they didn't.

> and doesn’t make sense given the context of ‘bagpuss’s comment. That ‘bagpuss was vague about what they said was free doesn’t change the context of the discussion.

I don't care about bagpuss's comment, they don't represent Archivarix as far as I can tell.

You said the site is misrepresenting itself, it's not.

You said the site is claiming things they haven't.

You called the site "scammy" based on something that they never even claimed.

> It’s scammy because the kind of people who would use this wouldn’t know how many files are in the backup

Archive.org tells you how many URLs are saved.

Example: https://web.archive.org/details/https://sweetcode.io

2109+4716+595+732+562+90+28+1+9+1 = 8843 unique URLs.

First file is free. First 1000 files are $0.01 each. Additional thousands are $1 per thousand.

So the price would be $17.84
7 Databases in 7 Weeks for 2025
I've seen a few articles on the Yotta/Synapse situation that focus on the people that have lost money while completely ignoring any of the prize-linked type of setup. The people are quoted as being told it was FDIC insured, it was a normal bank, etc. Then the articles describing the prize drawings started to surface.

Was the prize-linked stuff part of the fine text or are people twisting the story as an attempt to lessen their shame? I don't trust any of the fintech apps at all, but I've never looked at any of their sites to see how blatant or how hidden their "oh yeah, we're not a real bank" details are.

That is such a tired, boring, selective memory meme. Did you not use a calculator later on in your education, say high school, for stuff like graphing and helping with equations? Do you not think educators in primary school teaching basic arithmetic knew about that?

All our maths education is based on lies which are progressively disclosed. You’re told we can’t go below zero, that numbers are integers, that you can’t take the square root of a negative number… And slowly are introduced to all those concepts building on what you learned before.

And yet this meme of “hur dur, mah teachers saids I’d haves no calculators on me but I use a phone all the time, epic fail” prevails instead of pondering for two seconds that maybe your teacher was giving a cookie-cutter argument that a literal child could comprehend but be unable to refute so they could continue with the damn lesson.

And as if people use calculators that often. They don’t. Yet being able to do some basic arithmetic is useful in such simple areas as shopping, to make more informed decisions in a world that is constantly trying to trick you.

That pulse switch always felt so strange to me. It was the Rosetta of POTS.
I hadn't considered that. If that's the case then we should hope people simply copy and paste the output rather than try to engage with it or take it seriously.

Though in more practical economic terms, perhaps what we're being trained for is a future in which the typical worker has a low paying job sanity checking AI output rather than a higher paying job doing the work themself.
They give a recommendation for education, but didn't measure retention.

I agree with their premise provided students don't know how to touch type (given the anecdotal amount of visual typing I've seen a reason concern for students) it's also interesting that it's cursive, which is being taught less.
Not disagreeing with your points here in this context, but it's interesting to note that I learned touch typing on a typewriter in school and I know which letters I've missed when typing, and can happily copy pages of text without needing to see the screen - even to correct any errors.

The worst metric obsession that defines things now is stock price, which really went into overdrive with the financialization of the 70s~80s. Of course financialization was downstream of the money supply and people seeking out returns on their savings in inflationary environments (modern economic theory that thinks never-ending inflation is just a law we must all accept and conform to), which is used a way to finance big government.
Show HN: Open-source end to end software testing agent
As engineers, testers and product owners, we've all felt the frustration of flaky tests, endless maintenance, and tools that don’t quite fit our needs. That’s exactly why we built Hercules, the world’s first opensource software testing agent:

Why we made it?

1⃣ To simplify end to end testing cycles : API, Web, Database, and Security testing—all in one place

2⃣ To save time and effort: No code. No maintenance. No cost.

Testing shouldn’t be a burden. It should just work. Hercules is our way of giving back to the community that’s taught us so much.

We’d love for you to try it out and tell us what you think!

P.S. - We've made it work on herculean platforms like Salesforce too.

Our repo: https://github.com/test-zeus-ai/testzeus-hercules/tree/main

And for questions/suggestions, here's our Slack community: https://join.slack.com/t/testzeuscommunityhq/shared_invite/z....
Thanks for the pointers. Frigate, Home Assistant, and HomeKit were mentioned in other comments and we had some discussions there. They're certainly good setups.

A key design decision for me was using a strong end-to-end encryption scheme between the camera/hub and the app. MLS fit this need perfectly and therefore I came up with the design that is now Privastead.

I was also less concerned with supporting many cameras since all I needed was one camera inside my house. Rather, I wanted a lean solution that I could fully understand and reason about. I will however look more carefully into the NVRs you listed to see if I can borrow some ideas to support more cameras more easily in Privastead.
enshittification isn't "things become worse" - it's the specific process of how services worsen in 3 stages:

> Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification, and it is a seemingly inevitable consequence arising from the combination of the ease of changing how a platform allocates value, combined with the nature of a "two-sided market", where a platform sits between buyers and sellers, hold each hostage to the other, raking off an ever-larger share of the value that passes between them.
Notes on Sorted Data
By way of expanding upon my comment above...let's try to remove ethics and morality from the discussion.

All animals that live in groups have 'rules' that protect the group from behaviors that threaten the group's existence. A group member who behaves in an way that threatens the group itself, is shunned, ostracized, or killed.

Human society is no different. During relatively modern times, we have adopted written rules of behavior with procedures to judge and punish violators to the extreme of imprisonment and even death.

And prison populations throughout the world are overwhelmingly male. Further evidence that there is almost certainly a biological/genetic factor causing males to behave in a manner resulting in society imprisoning males at a much higher rates than females.

To be clear, it is also very true that only a small percentage of males are ever charged with criminal (anti-social) behavior. So, there are obviously other factors involved beyond just being male. However, that doesn't change my point that genetic traits almost certainly play a role. There is a huge body of science that has been studying human anti-social behavior for centuries.
I find it hard to say whether that is more terrifying or the Sterkfontein accident: cave diver gets lost, finds an exist to a non-submerged part of the cave and waits for rescue, alone and in complete darkness. Until he starves to death after three weeks. Is found a few days too late.
You're right. The second star is a freebie for completing the rest.
The overall recovery rate apparently is higher (like 70%?) and any shortfall at all is odd and requires an explanation. The reference to 99.8% shortfalls is related to Synapse being the record keeping system for deposits and failing to keep those records in a way that is reasonably accessible now that the company is in bankruptcy. So, anyone relying on missing records functionally has zero recovery because there are no records.
I would say it can unlink gbs in seconds. The data is still on the disk until it's trimed or overwritten.
It does!

> As one of the Bevy contributors, I'd love to hear what you didn't like in the past, and what you liked from this release.

One issue that I always had with Bevy's development direction was how it felt a bit incongruent in a way. Like we get all these advanced rendering features but the boring basics are only slowly getting added. But of course it makes sense, its much more fun to work on a super advanced state of the art virtual geometry renderer (that is very impressive stuff) than it is to work on the boring parts.

I hope one day the foundation gets proper funding and can fund development with a clear focus and direction like the Blender foundation.

Why this release feels somehow different is because there are many mundane, boring but very foundational features added, like sorry but I do not give a fuck about chromatic aberration, but I do care about required components, animation masks, additive blending and events, box shadows, cosmic text, ui scrolling, interpolation functions and event propagation / bubbling.

Take the only now added animation masks, what use is an engine that supports visualized geometry (added in previous release) rendering but I can't render the hand movements of a character separate from the body? That's what I mean by incongruent, its not meant as a criticism, that's just how open source works of course but its still frustrating sometimes.

For the things still missing, for example: declarative scenes (in the works with BSN), asset streaming and pipeline events, (proper) rich text rendering, pointer and text selection events to name a few.

So seeing these "boring" things slowly getting added with each release also makes me very optimistic for the future of Bevy!

(notice how I didn't even mention the editor ;)
I was responding to ‘bagpuss because they made a claim that the site linked was respondent to OP, and was free. You and I can quibble about what they meant, but a plain reading of their comment implies that the functionality that OP asked for was free, because ‘bagpuss never mentioned the CMS, and in fact the CMS seems like a red herring in this discussion entirely.

I do feel that the site misrepresents the value proposition of the Internet Archive backup/restore service, because the site’s value proposition is convenience for users who don’t know that there are actually free, actually open source ways to backup and restore content from Internet Archive, and that site isn’t it. They’re banking on users not knowing any better in that case, which isn’t unethical per se, buyer beware etc, but it’s shady.

That above combined with the pricing model makes it scammy because you have to spend a minimum of $10 in crypto or other non-reversible payment for something that should not cost the user anything, as the Internet Archive is bearing the lion’s share of the costs. And if it doesn’t do what you needed, you’ve already paid in worthless credits.

https://archivarix.com/en/tutorial/#list-3

> Second example: the big site contains 25,520 files. From this quantity you can deduct 1 because they will be free of charge. So we have 25,519 paid files. First thousand will cost $10, and the rest 24,519 costs only $1 per thousand, therefore $24.519 . Full price for the big site recovery is $34.52!!!

$34.52 is not a reasonable price for this by any means.

That said, I make no claims about the site being respondent to OP’s request, as I’m not OP. I simply rejected the claims brought by ‘bagpuss.
Hah, I had a paper published this year. My co-authors are academics but I am not. Honestly, I couldn't understand the first version of the paper we wrote, despite inventing the algorithm it described!

There is definitely a certain language and a precise mathematical approach which is needed to pass review for academic papers. It isn't nonsense, but does obfuscate obvious meanings.

I built a partial list last year [1]. It's challenging to decide which CAs are government operated or controlled: the names don't always make it clear, private companies may operate under government direction, law may require CAs to follow government requests. These were all very clearly government/military organizations running CAs. The Brazilian CA referenced here is number two on the list.

I remember growing up our family got an extra phone we could use in the basement (I think it came with a magazine subscription oddly) . It had the keypad, but would just generate the pulses like a rotary phone. Very slow and felt wrong. I’m pretty sure this phone didn’t have the switch to go into “tone” dialing mode like our other phones which were only tone.

it wasn't the famous "sports illustrated" sneaker phone which some versions had the pulse/tone switch (see photos of 2 different sole keypads) .

During college lectures my retention was highest when I didn’t notes at all. I found that if I took notes, most of my brain power went towards capturing the content instead of actively engaging with it.

Once I stopped taking notes, it freed up my mind to think critically about the material and helped me quickly identify when I was confused about something. When I was confused, I was able to ask the professor about it immediately instead of trying to figure it out on my own after the lecture

I still haven't made my way through all of the 2015 problems yet. But I don't play the game correctly any way: instead of trying to solve the problems as fast as I can, I try to write well-documented easily maintained code which runs fast. Balancing 'easily maintained' and 'runs fast' takes a little more time than 'just solve it' _and_ I'm planning on working my way through the problems chronologically, so I doubt I'll get to the 2024 problems any time this decade.
A Warning from a California Marine Heat Wave
This isn't really the issue I think, the question is whether money always moves fast enough that you can model them differently— as an atomic object that either exists and is complete or doesn't exits at all. Can you just have the caller wait some milliseconds and either get an error or a success meaning it's done? The answer is of course no but there are plenty of things that can be modeled this way.
Which are not very good qualities for an aspiring rapper.
Both the "require DKIM" and the mailing lists problem were discussed at length by the working group, with many having opposite strong opinions, so in the end the only consensus that was reached is a trade-off that left everyone unsatisfied.

There's hope that the mailing list problem will be solved by DKIM2 [1], since ARC has the problem of trusting the intermediaries.

On `pct`, you're right in theory, but it seems that implementers didn't get the message. From the mailing list [2]:

> That's how we intended it when we wrote that, and that's how early
implementations did it. But maybe this is the lesson: People have inferred lots of different things
from that rather straightforward definition, so maybe it's more ambiguous
than we realized all those years ago.

And the draft says [3]:

> Operational experience showed that the pct tag was usually not accurately applied, unless the value specified was either 0 or 100 (the default), and the inaccuracies with other values varied widely from one implementation to another.

I agree that replacing it with another tag is such a confusing and unnecessary change, though.
