Very impressive! At Airtop.ai we looked into lightweight browsers like this one since we run a huge fleet of cloud browsers but found that anything other than a non-headless Chromium based browser would trigger bot detection pretty quickly. Even spoofing user agents triggers bot detection because fingerprinting tools like FingerprintJS will use things like JS features, canvas fingerprinting, WebGL fingerprinting, font enumeration, etc.

Can you share if you've looked into how your browser fares against bot detection tools like these?
Unfortunately gcc doesn't accept arbitrary linkers via the `-fuse-ld=` flag. The only linkers it accepts are bfd, gold lld and mold. It is possible to use gcc to invoke wild as the linker, but currently to do that, you need to create a directory containing the wild linker and rename the binary (or a symlink) to "ld", then pass `-B/path/to/directory/containing/wild` to gcc.

As for why Rust uses gcc or clang to invoke the linker rather than invoking the linker directly - it's because the C compiler knows what linker flags are needed on the current platform in order to link against libc and the C runtime. Things like `Scrt1.o`, `crti.o`, `crtbeginS.o`, `crtendS.o` and `crtn.o`.
I code cpp professionally. But I still dread template programming. Pretty much a guarantee that I'm going to end up spending an afternoon wading through horrifyingly inscrutable error messages.
There's a hiring freeze anyway. The whole point of RTO is to push people to quit. That was outright stated in the announcement.
What a coincidence. :) Just an hour ago I compared the performance of wild, mold, and (plain-old) ld on a C project I'm working on. 23 kloc and 172 files. Takes about 23.4 s of user time to compile with gcc+ld, 22.5 s with gcc+mold, and 21.8 s with gcc+wild. Which leads me to believe that link time shouldn't be that much of a problem for well-structured projects.
I'm sorry; but have you ever actually used a database before? A database supports FAR more than "only CRUD". Some really simple examples are CTEs, SELECT ... INTO (or INSERT ... SELECT for some dialects), triggers, views, etc.
>I think your assertion here relies heavily on the unstated assumption that the folks running states are psychotics who would happily see the world burn.

I disagree....

My understanding of the MAD philosophy is not that it was born out of psychotics but rather a rather cold, rational war gaming process.

From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_assured_destruction
>It is based on the theory of rational deterrence, which holds that the threat of using strong weapons against the enemy prevents the enemy's use of those same weapons. The strategy is a form of Nash equilibrium in which, once armed, neither side has any incentive to initiate a conflict or to disarm.

You have to put yourself in time and place of those who developed the theory: Coming out of the Second World War where both the United States and the Soviet Union were convinced that each other were planning on taking the other over, this is what drove the USSR to develop the atomic bomb and the US to start NATO.

Fear, not psychopathy drove their actions.

>folks running the US (given thier history of slavery and genocide) often do not see other groups of humans as "human", and thus would make the calculation you're making.

The same argument can be made for any group of people around the world, almost every society has done the same thing.(There a a few, small groups that may not have i.e. small tribes in the Amazon)

Chicago is an extremely segregated city. In segregated cities, there is a nuanced thought process one must undergo to move into an area where you are considered an outsider. In Seattle for example, the tech community is overall reviled for having gentrified the Central District, where historically black areas were bulldozed to erect overpriced cardboard apartments for tech plebes. This is a legitimate question.

I think this was in crossbar switches. The initiator of the call had to hang up for something like 8 seconds.

This was useful if they called you and you answered in the kitchen, but wanted to run to another room to talk. Not that I think it was designed to be a feature! But I used it that way.

If you didn't trust the caller, you could hang up, wait 10 seconds, then get a good clean real dial tone. Remember dial tones?

Anyway none of this is relevant in modern switching systems, much less cellular networks.
It's exactly DRM, management of legal access to digital content. The "media" part has been optional for decades.

The comment they replied to didn't suggest sane defaults, but DRM. Here's the quote, no defaults work that way (inability to override):

If you think about historical parallels like advertising and the industrialisation of entertainment, where the communication is sufficiently human-like to function but deeply insincere and manipulative, I think you'll find that you absolutely can see such a future and how it might turn out.

A lot or most of people will adapt, accept these conditions because compared to the constant threat of misery and precarity of work, or whatever other way to sustenance and housing, it will be very tolerable. Similar to how so called talk shows flourished, where fake personas pretend to get to know other fake personas they are already very well acquainted with and so on, while selling slop, anxieties or something. Like Oprah, the billionaire.
The identity provider doesn't need to tell the forum that you are 50 different people. They could have a system where if the forum bans you the forum would know it's the same person they banned on reapplication. As far as people making a real person account then using that to do Ai stuff yeah there will have to be a way to persistently ban someone through anonymous verification, but thats possible. Both the identity verifier and forum will be incentivized to play nice with each other. If a identity provider is allowing one person to make 50 spam accounts the forum can stop accepting verification from that provider.

Qemu's response to Firecracker is microvm:

https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/system/i386/microvm.html
This is obviously an over-the-top response. I quoted what you said:

> of course I wouldn't be onboard with whoever is committing a genocide

And asked if you were familiar with these particular atrocities. These particular atrocities are fairly different from the American/Mexican border in enough ways that your conflation is fairly bizarre (is there forced sterilization at the US Mexico border? What about forced labor? Or do you consider those to be unfounded claims that I would only believe because I'm an American?)

Tbh mostly the US and their allies seem to prefer not talking about the Uyghurs. And, I mean, what is the US supposed to do about it, anyway? (Contrast this with Israel/Palestine where the US continues to arm Israel with relatively few conditions on the usage of those weapons)

I am curious how you think the US should handle its southern border? My understanding is most European nations similarly struggle with large influxes of refugees. This is a global crisis, and you have actual data about it because the US doesn't kill journalists who research it.

I'm not saying "America shouldn't trade with China because of what's going on within their borders." (We are a huge trade partner with China. We were a huge trade partner with Russia before they invaded Ukraine)

I do think it's reasonable for America to ban TikTok.

I've misused the word "possible": I meant to say that if the theory is equally-capable of "explaining" two mutually-incompatible states of affairs, it does not actually have the explanatory power that all scientific theories must have. Which, yes, I think "falsifiable" is the correct word for that. (Although, you'll note that my explanation of "falsifiable" is not precisely correct. I think I've convinced myself that there is no logically-precise definition of "falsifiable", and that it inherently leans on some intuitive notion of "possibly-falsifying evidence" which we have to take for granted, like philosophical induction.)

However, that was itself me being lazy, because Blanchard's typology does make concrete predictions about what sorts of people exist. The assertion that people can be classified into "attracted to women" and "not attracted to women" is refuted by the Kinsey Reports (and many better studies besides); the assertion that being trans is a sex thing is refuted by the existence of certain ace trans people; the assertion that transition is about imitation is refuted by the existence of certain non-binary people…

Of course, Ray Blanchard himself bolts on new categories whenever he can't fudge the analysis to fit a pre-existing conclusion – last I checked, he had around 10 categories – but most adherents treat the original two categories as dogma. (The lengths to which people will go for a gender binary…)

Really, I should say that if you're cis and relying on thought experiments, Blanchard's typology is unfalsifiable: you will simply not be able to observe any evidence that refutes it. I myself (not then having much contact with out trans people (if we discount Reddit)) had to do a lot of introspection (could I rule out self-deception? wishful thinking? how?) before I concluded that either my internal subjective experience refuted the typology (and its variants), or I was too insane to be capable of reasoning. This tendency towards solipsism did not do me many favours (and was ultimately quite harmful, for reasons I will not discuss here), but it did at least prepare me for the many other academics who talk out of their arses about things they have no legitimate claim to expertise in, save for being among the first academics to study it. (Or, in Ray Blanchard's case, among the first academics to study it after the Nazi purge.)

The structure for the write head logs needs to different between systems. For Postgres, the WAL is a record of writes with new blocks. It can't be used without knowing the Postgres disk format. I don't think it can be used to construct logical changes.

Using a standard format, converting things into logical data, would be significantly slower. It is important that WAL be fast because it is the bottleneck in transactions. It would make more sense to have a separate change streaming service.

The business/answers page with the number is about calls from Google Assistant and (now?) explicitly says it's not about calls from the support. That would be this page

Disappointingly, it only says how to identify automated calls from Google, it doesn't offer a protocol for verifying actual humans from Google calling you. Perhaps it happens so rarely you can just assume it's not Google.

Show HN: Vole Machine ISA Simulator
Just sharing this project [0] I've worked on a while ago, it's not that interesting
but I was proud of making it. It has a CLI and a GUI that is done with Dear ImGui
and includes an instruction editor, memory and registers viewer, and a canvas that
is manipulated with an extra instruction made specifically for the GUI!

This is not my first attempt at a virtual machine implementation, I've done the
popular LC-3 VM before [1], check it out if you're interested to see Rust code
rather than C++ ;)

Looking for work is a full time job
For anyone currently stuck in the grind of endlessly applying for jobs, I completely understand your frustration. I’ve been job hunting for the past three months, and it’s been painfully repetitive and time-consuming. Applying via LinkedIn often feels like throwing your resume into a sea of 1,000+ other applicants, even with daily alerts turned on.

What worked better for me was following founders, recruiters, and other key connections. I’d wait for them to post about roles in their network and apply directly. This strategy landed me a few interviews.

To make this process less manual, I built a tracker that highlights posts from people sharing roles with their private networks. It’s free, so feel free to check it out if you’re in the job market.

I’m also testing video-based applications, which let you track who’s viewing your resume and profile. This feature is paid to help cover server cost.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated and hopefully this helps you land a role!
Something stupid I always wanted to do was to make an object-oriented language where literally every single object was a separate UNIX process. The naive implementation would have horrendous context switching overhead from the IPC, but maybe there's a clever and elegant way to use shared memory...
The fact that engineers now think that helping others and working with others is negative value, just shows how terrible tech culture has become.

> with actual identity checking of some sort

I am hoping OpenID4VCI[0] will fill this role. It looks to be flexible enough to preserve public privacy on forums while still verifying you are the holder of a credential issued to a person. The credential could be issued from an issuer that can verify you are an adult (banks) for example. Then a site or forum etc, that works with a verifier that can verify whatever combination of data of one or more credentials presented. I haven't dug into the full details of implementation and am skimming over a lot but that appears to be the gist of it.
