This is a huge deal for SPA libraries which are, like it or not, fundamental to modern web development

I expect this and the View Transition API to have massive implications for the way libraries are written. And hopefully positive ones. Allowing libraries to "use the platform" more closely
Would you rather spend 10% of 50k on healthcare or 15% of 100k?

Also taxes are generally much higher in these countries as well.
I run Linux on my work machine and my office is full Windows/MacOS shop.I've so far been able to get away with using either office web apps for things like Teams, Outlook, Excel and Word and I also have a Window 11 VM that has all the desktop versions of the same apps.

I would say that 99.9% of the time I can get away with using the web app versions, even for things like Teams meetings it works really well. Once in a blue moon I will have a document that I can't open in the web versions so I fire up the VM and open it on there.

There are definitely some annoyances around this workflow but IMHO the annoyances pale in comparison to the annoyance of having to use Windows or MacOS every day.
Alexander Zaitsev – My Rust Story
Google SafetyNet is basically swiss cheese with lots of bypass solutions for custom ROMs.

A TPM may only attest that it has received an expected set of measurements (hashes). As long as discrete TPMs or PCs with unlocked CPUs exist (w/o Boot Guard), one may simply take a TPM and replay "golden" measurements to it. Bypassing this would be trivially easy.

A TPM does not have control over execution on the CPU. It only receives data from the CPU. If you have control over execution on the CPU from the reset vector, you can just replay whatever you want to a TPM and extract secrets that way. That's why TPM backed disk encryption without configuring a PIN is insecure.

Microsoft does not have the same level of control over the entire PC ecosystem as Google has over Android. That's why it's important to support open source alternatives.
I'm confused: why would the existence of a browser engine affect a JavaScript engine? Don't you mean WebKit/Blink instead of V8?

Either way I'm glad that there's a challenge to the browser monopoly and its various technical components of course.
> Routinely reaching past the defined limits of the executive branch could be described as a coup.

That ship sailed several decades ago, at the least. Presidents have been routinely testing the limits of executive authority longer than I've been alive. Everyone is perfectly happy to rationalize it with motivated reasoning until it is their ox being gored. The histrionics over the current flavor of the month betrays an ignorance of what has been historically routine in Washington DC for a long time or hypocrisy. People only pay attention when they are told to pay attention.

As a matter of principle, one side doesn't get to reserve tools of abuse for themselves. I'd rather a system where this was not a thing at all, but since it is, a lot of the shrillness has a "leopards eating faces" vibe. The wheel turns, and it will continue turning.
Why would you switch to Fedora 6? ..I kid, I kid ;)
>But at the same time we -- meaning Trump and the GOP Senate -- just appointed the least qualified candidate in the history of the US...

I'm old enough to remember when Biden nominated someone with no aviation experience to lead the head of the FAA, and also had corruption charges while acting as head of the LA transit system....AND Democrats were in _favor_ of that lack of experience:

"Democrats...spinning his lack of direct involvement with aviation as a positive, theoretically making him less likely to be aligned or swayed by any of the many interest groups or companies in the industry."[1]

I'm also old enough to remember when Pete Buttigieg was appointed Transportation Secretary, despite having virtually no experience in mass transit (no, a McKinsey deck doesn't count) and whose highest office was mayor of a small Indiana town.[2]

So can we stop with the hyperbole? Yes there are many good candidates, but the US could do much worse than a guy with experience in Iraq/Afghanistan/Guantanamo + 2 Bronze Stars + Joint Commendation + 2 Army Commendations + Expert Infantryman Badge + degrees from Harvard & Princeton.[3]

The cognitive dissonance here is at another level.
Had FBI staff refused to work on these cases when the Bureau directed them to, would that not have been exactly the "deep state" behavior that the Trump conspiracy fringe complained about for years?

I am a versatile software engineer with extensive experience in designing and building large-scale systems from the ground up, specializing in distributed systems and data-intensive web applications. My expertise spans load balancers, HTTP APIs, and full-stack product development.
Your wireless connection makes you believe that you're more globalized than you actually are.

Your internet pipes are starting right behind the modem. So is your electricity. The energy mix powering your life depends on the geopolitics of your area, as it might be nuclear/solar/hydro/gas/fuel powered and therefore dependent on your country's stance towards nuclear power plants, renewables, your country's geography, and natural resources. Your power bill at the end of the month also largely depends on that stuff, amongst most other things. Consequently so does your net income and ability to enjoy all that tech.

The content served to you is generally on CDNs nearest to you.
A vast majority of the content you produce and consume is extremely related to relatively localized influences, such as your English keyboard, the average search engine results that are biased towards your location, any of the myriad of system settings that accommodate for your local culture, etc.
Side-note: as a French (France) citizen in Quebec (Canada) it's been absolute hell trying to actually access the internet I knew back home, because search engines flat out don't show me what I used to get in fr_fr since fr_ca dominates here. (Kagi offsets that a bit thanks to locale being selectable, although there's a dearth of results at times somehow, perhaps driven by differences between what's preferred on the pipes in North America vs Europe).

When and how you access these technologies depends nearly entirely on your local area, as you're generally unlikely to be jogging at 2:30am your time, unlikely to play your games mid-day on a weekday as defined by your country and culture, etc.

And when a storm hits your area, the whole world won't care but your neighbor will have to protect himself and his belongings just as much as you will.

While we are indeed more connected than ever before, the primary things we've connected are our anxieties and rich people's consolidated power. The rest remains profoundly local.

They're nothing like Trump? You should research what happened to Liz Truss.
I've got about 80% of my apps that would normally be on F-Droid installed through Obtainium (https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium), which handles Git releases (among other sources). The F-Droid client feels clunky and in the past I had some update errors that were annoying. With some improvements it should return to being a good discovery tool and app manager, so this is good news.
Right back at you. Stop spreading lies about MSG, or if you claim they are not lies, show some actual evidence.
My guess it's that they do it to discover what "hidden gems" actually have potential, and that they may not stay free.
Ahhh this is fantastic. Exactly what I was looking for. As I said before not that smart, but hopefully a little smarter than I was before. The shared library documents, if I can figure them out, would allow for a libdyalog-clj, which would be extremely exciting. To me, anyway, and maybe like six other people haha.

Thank you, jodrellblank, for being patient with me and for this information.

Our Blessed Homeland vs. Their Barbarous Wastes
Like I said, the implementation is wrong. Adding an exception to that 21st function, and then that whole call chain as well ends up being a lot of work. Sure you eventually find the place to handle it, but it was a lot of effort in the mean time.

It gets worse. Sometimes we can prove that the 21st function because of the way it is calling your function can never trigger that exception, but still it will need code to handle it. If that handler code if the 21st function changes to trigger the exception now should be propagated back down but since you handled the exception before checked exceptions won't tell you that you handled it in the wrong place.

I don't know how to implement checked exceptions right. On paper they have a lot of great arguments for them. However in practice they don't work well in large projects (at least for java)
Hiring people based on race (white) and gender (male) is what happened _before_ Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives.

Do you know what is the original and ultimate identity politics? Enslaving people because you deem them inferior to your own race. The civil war, the civil rights movement, and modern social justice movements are a response to this, not the root of the conflict.

I'm a white guy in academia - not tenured yet - and I cannot fathom the ignorance necessary to believe that white males are at an disadvantage because of university administrators being "woke". Give me a break!
Maybe! But in this case, the bulk of the mistakes by the FAA happened in the 2012-2014. In the middle of the Obama administration, but well before the bulk of the really controversial post-BLM DEI stuff that the current administration is largely attacking.
I have a list of movies you can't find anywhere, not even for pay, not even on on obscure services. I check every once in a while to see if they pop up (JustWatch.us is great for this, IMDB is copying). Example: "Amateur" by Hal Hartley, though it's easy enough to buy copies on DVD.

The problem is once the rights for a title end up in a library, the accessibility considerations operate at the library level, not the title level. So if some company owns the rights to "n" titles en masse, they're negotiating for the distribution rights to that library.

You can't really pull a Taylor Swift or Def Leppard "re-record for rights" move with movies.

UPDATE: Happy to be wrong about my cited example.. Thanks @andsoitis !
Ask HN: Best way to feed a GitHub readme to a LLM and have it answer questions?
Movie rights will be a big factor also. Events like TIFF, Cannes etc, while being a platform to show films is also where deals are done, distribution rights are signed always for different territories etc.
YouTube is essentially international which may invalidate some pre-existing licence and distribution agreements.
> Without a more sophisticated type system that represented nullability, you can get NullPointerException anywhere.

I started working in Java a few months ago and holy shit does this stick out like a sore thumb. Null checks cascade down from gods domain all the way to hell. But oop we missed one here and caused an outage lol add one more! So much wasted human effort around NPE, and yet, we sit around in a weekly meeting getting yelled at about how stability needs to be taken more seriously. Hrm.
I started using PopOS for basically snapless Ubuntu and a simpler desktop, but I keep thinking of going back Debian. I think AMD GPUs are probably well integrated by now and GPU support was one of my original reasons for moving off of Debian and onto Ubuntu
I must say that I resonate with almost all of the points stated.

These particularly stood out to me:

Frontend development is a nightmare world of Kafkaesque awfulness I no longer enjoy

ORMs are the devil in all languages and all implementations. Just write the damn SQL

Monoliths remain pretty good

It's very hard to beat decades of RDBMS research and improvements

Micro-services require justification (they've increasingly just become assumed)

Most projects (even inside of AWS!) don't need to "scale" and are damaged by pretending so

I did agree with the following as well:

Typed languages are essential on teams with mixed experience levels

Java is a great language because it's boring

REPLs are not useful design tools (though, they are useful exploratory tools)

Most programming should be done long before a single line of code is written

Given a long enough time horizon, you'll deeply regret building on Serverless Functions

Types are assertions we make about the world

Most won't care about the craft. Cherish the ones that do, meet the rest where they are

Code coverage has absolutely nothing to do with code quality (in many cases, it's inversely proportional)
you can load the safetensors with ollama, you just have to provide a modelfile. or wait for someone to do it. It will in theory also quantize it for you, as I guess most ppl cannot load a 129 GB model...

There was no FDA to protect the health and well-being of US citizens. FDA helped prevent thalidomide coming to market, unlike Europe at the time. Think of all the snake-oil and harmful drugs that where pushed in the time period you are prescribing.

That is also the time period of the Labor wars. Those with money and power were miss-treating the average worker. Again goes against the health, well-being, and wealth of the US citizens.

There hasn't really been a Blair Witch Project movie happening on Youtube yet...
Not really? Your thinking about the definition of the word "relevant" seems a bit confused here... By your logic, home insurance is "irrelevant" because you don't seem to use it much, then one day it's suddenly extremely relevant (at which point then it's too late to buy it).

I guess we'd probably agree that "writing code is an irrelevant skill" actually all comes down to whether LLMs will improve enough to match humans at programming, and thus comprehensively remove the need for fixing their work.

They currently don't, so at the time you claimed this it was incorrect. Maybe they will in the future, at which point it would be correct.

So, would it be responsible for me to bet my career on your advice today? Obviously not, which is why most people here disagree with your article.

You were prepared in advance to explain that criticism as people having a strong negative emotional reaction, so I'm not sure why you posted it here in the first place instead of LinkedIn where it might reach a more supportive audience.
The FAA chooses the contractor, and, according to the article:

> The contract, however, did “not include locality pay to account for the high cost of living in the San Francisco Bay Area.” This resulted in the new offer to SQL’s air traffic controllers coming in “significantly lower” than their current compensation, according to the county.
> And now it is not.

Um. Racism and sexism have not been eliminated in our country. I mean, just look at who's running the executive branch of the government at the moment. We need initiatives to lift up traditionally underrepresented groups now more than ever.
> Building a streaming service is pretty expensive..

It's not. At least not for companies of that size. There is PeerTube for that: https://joinpeertube.org/. It can even decrease the load to your servers by spreading the trafic over peers.

Honestly maybe just because they can?

They have these relatively obscure movies that aren't really worth much so why not throw them on youtube and give them the best possible chance of being watched.

I think it's a great move honestly, I know a tv show from the UK that's been doing the same, hopefully more shows/movies will do it as well.
Imperial vs Metric is a hard requirement not a convention or formatting. I have a co-worker who wants everything to be a one liner, doesn't like if/else statements, thinks exception handling is bad and will fail a code review over a variable that he feels isn't cased properly.

This makes code reviews super slow and painful, it also means you aren't focusing on the important stuff. What the code actually does and if it meets the requirements in functionality. You don't have time for that stuff, you are too busy trying to make this one person happy by turning an if else into a ternary and the end of sprint is a day away.
Complete opposite experience for me. With Linux I pare down my system to the bare minimum I need, less software running -> less potential problems -> more stability.

Up-ranking, down-ranking, and straight up blocking sites is a big one for me. No more scrolling past w3schools or geeksforgeeks for this guy!

Also, it's built in that sites with a ton of ads are down-ranked.
That's a lot of steps just to convince Ubuntu to stop shoving snap through our ass. More the reason to switch away from Ubuntu.

Yeah Ubuntu sucks compared to what it was around 2012-2016. Problem is Fedora is even worse. If you don't believe me, check it out yourself. For example, Fedora's (unaltered upstream?) gnome desktop requires routinely twice as many mouse clicks to accomplish anything: say you want to search something, then you need to click on the odd "workspaces" thing (a vertical bar without text description in the upper left corner) first, then you can select the app/workspace where you can enter your search, and the same with other apps. Also, Fedora's gnome has no windows minimize/maximize buttons if you can believe it! And a Fedora is only maintained for like 8 month or so compared to Ubuntu LTS' 5 years.

So why not install an alternative desktop instead? Yeah then you can as well use another distro altogether, the point of Ubuntu being within a large group that can be targeted by third party software and integrators.

The idea with gnome 3+ seems to be a tablet-like experience. Ok now I actually do own a tablet (a Surface Go) so I tried Ubuntu and Fedora on it in a dual boot config with Windows. It's not half-bad with device recognition but unpolished; eg. the virtual keyboard isn't localized, gnome's own setting dialogs on actual tablet 3:2 aspect ratios are cut off, can't rely on touch and still need mouse/keyboard, etc. What was tempting with Fedora is that they put some effort into webcam support lately - but then the apps I wanted to use it with (MS Teams or Google Meet on FF) still couldn't use it because pipewire or codecs or whatever, and those web apps officially support Ubuntu only anyway. Ubuntu's current LTS didn't even find it, and if it would find it, FF in a fscking snap or other pointless container dreck would need extra permissions plus AppArmor config nobody is able to figure out. A poor impression considering this is already the .2 iteration of an LTS release (but hopefully the upcoming 24.04.3 update can help).

I thought those problems were a thing of the pre-CoVid past, but unfortunately they aren't, and the Surface Go is ages old. The Linux desktop experience is beginning to feel like an effort of inexperienced developers who put too much refactoring on the plate that they then can't pull off (aka second system effect) with Wayland, containers, and whatnot.
Old movies have been available on various "free ad-supported streaming television" for a while now, so I'm actually more surprised it took copyright holders that long to realize that Youtube also shows ads and doesn't require people to install some wonky app that might or might not be available for their platform.

Of course, region-specific copyright deals are incredibly complex etc. etc., so I could imagine it was just a matter of waiting out until the last person putting up a veto retired or moved on to other things.

The only 2 companies that made money during the “streaming wars” were Netflix, which had the infrastructure in place already and didn’t need to build anything from scratch, and Sony, which decided not to build any streaming service and just license all its content out. Seems WBD is following the lead of a winner.

Why not release a tool that runs and shows me the minimum I need to spend to get my PC windows 11 ready? Hide it behind a few menus/drop downs since it will be an "advanced" pc-builder tool.

I imagine it's only my MOBO which is missing TPM, but a suggestion of what mobo to buy which would be compatible with all my other components (RAM DIMMS, PCI-e cards) would be killer.
Snaps are indeed awful, unless you want to run something not compatible with your current installed OS version.
