I'm just a bystander so I can't say why people are down-voting.. and considering they're unlikely to return and read your follow-up question, let alone respond, I think we can safely assume we won't know.

But since you're asking, and it seems with more sincerity than your initial comment, I can offer my view.

First, though, I need to point out something about HN karma that's a bit different than reddit or elsewhere. I include this because it was a shock to me at first, and your account is new enough you may not have gotten used to it yet, either. And it's that nobody cares about how much karma anyone has. It's used as a basic filter for allowing downvotes and it's visible in someone's profile, but what I mean is that there isn't a lot of farming going on. At least, in general. Partly because it's so much work with little pay-off, I think. You can't get easy karma from a quick laugh or posting something controversial. You can't even be sure that a news item you post will get enough attention to try and get easy comment points from. The kinds of comments that would get easy karma on Reddit are more likely to get downvoted here, and maybe it's reactionary but I am pretty sure it's not personal. I like how you can't downvote any responding comments, even if you can downvote. Anyway, it's not a perfect system but I can say I stopped going to reddit when I came to appreciate the better parts of HN commentary.

One of the things that can trigger a lot of downvotes is criticism without substance. Even if it's a valid commentary on the society or politics involved. And, if it's a little off topic, that can trigger some downvotes too. It takes a real gem of a comment and good timing to get more than a few upvotes, and you never really know how many upvotes someone else's comment got unless they tell you. tbh some of my comments that I put a decent amount of time and thought into never got an upvote, but I'm rarely surprised at getting too many upvotes for a comment.

The audience here tends to favor original thought, and are easily dismissive of comments that are overly dismissive of the news post it is commenting on.

Tying this all back to the fine article, which I'll admit to not having read, but whose topic I can claim some of my own opinions on, because I've been fortunate enough to work with a range of talent there. I think one of the hallmarks of a great engineer is to have partitioned off the creation from the creator enough that they never take personal offense to any criticism of their design or their plan. Assuming mutual respect and fair communication (both which also are requirements, IMO). There's also all the actual technical bits but I think it's fair to say that a lot of what makes a great anything involves a mastery over communication and enough confidence in themselves not to take things personally.

And, maybe, you know, that also connects with your original comment. But I don't know if that has anything to do with your intention when posting it.

I remember I made a (in my eyes) pretty decent Donkey Kong in Extended Basic with my father. But we knew nothing about better variants, so our impression wasn't spoiled by that. I am sure the program and game was pretty crude in comparison to what you tried to get out of this TI device, but we had no notion of "maxing out the capabilities". We just programmed and had tremendous fun. Printing out the entire program on a matrix printer, and annotating changes with a pen. Precious times.

I own DDIA but after a few chapters of how database work behind the scenes, I begin to fall asleep. I have trouble understanding how to apply the knowledge to my work but this seems like a useful thing with a more clear application.
Absolutely, we’ve been hearing the same from our customers - which is why we thought it makes sense to open source a bunch of schemas so that they’re reusable and compatible across various inference providers (esp. Ollama/local ones).

No real concurrency. No scheduling. If you are not working with a lot of IO then js would be a poor choice. But in this case we talk about network calls, so definitely IO. The settimout, promise, request methods will do their job.

I mean, I guess? I definitely think it's silly. But I didn't think of it as a loaded term when I used it, just a message-board-ism. It wasn't an ironic commentary. :)

(This is a very weird thread to have stumbled on by following your comments).

By the power vested in me by being mentioned in the third person on this thread I hereby decree that "US-ians" is a cromulent term. May God have mercy on your souls.
I'm currently using Bruno, which uses its own format "Bru Lang" for storing HTTP requests as plain text[1]. The VS Code extension is great but I'd much prefer the standard backed by 30k+ stars was extended instead of a new format to introduce fragmentation in this space.

It might seem like a good idea to have a central or multiple pay pass areas that would automatically pay our way while we surf the web, however it a short time the web would be more scammed up than it already is.

I don't pay for subscriptions as I'm not planning to support the million or so news sites out there every day of the year ... and mostly I find the original non walled news item. Politically slanted opinion pieces might be particular to some news site, honestly they can keep it - sad they then have to advertise it with teasers - from what I've seen viewing the article in its entirety, ok yeah more times than not, the rest behind the curtain was actually a no brainer for those who've been paying attention.

I don't use an ad blocker but I have a long deny list of scum APIs and trackers that have done their dash being too intrusive - and I'm still sometimes surprised how many sites think I run an ad blocker. Also some years ago I used a browser that one click turned all images turned off, sadly the web moved on and it had it's design issues as well. Still since webp is not enabled - my system largely the same before webp arrived on the scene, but if you have firefox there's an addon [1] IMO, more and more ads use webp as I've noted less and less imagery clutter from ads over the last year or two.

Which is why they're hinting that generals are going to be fired next week. Likely so they can replace them with loyalists.
Specifically the SQLite release statement. Quite recently, I did the same in my code, fishing for many micro-optimizations that sped up the execution by 1 per cent or so. These added up nicely.
In this case I think the answer is probably yes, it's worth it. This thread turned out to be better than the median for political threads these days, which of course is a low bar. (I agree with you that https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43103830 is the opposite of what we want here).

HN is split between users who passionately want more political discussion and users who don't want HN to be overrun with politics (or flamewars). The former are more vocal but the latter are more numerous. (How do I know that? Because if it weren't the case, i.e. if the majority of HN wanted all these political threads on the front page, the pressure to do this would be far greater than it is, intense though it has been.)

The community is always split between readers who feel like "all stories on $Topic are being suppressed, this site is censored!" and readers who feel like "Hacker News is overrun with $Topic! This site should change its name to $Topic News!". How to balance out these conflicting vectors is an interesting optimization problem. I say interesting because the obvious solutions don't work. For example, some people feel like the moderators should just declare politics off-topic on HN—but that would actually politicize the site even more (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25785637).

Fortunately we worked out a strategy that has held up well over the years. Here are a couple recent posts that cover it:

Thanks! The conditional `when` clauses live on the steps, rather than being represented in the workflow, and in fact when we built this for an example, the last step being called depended on the results of the previous two steps.

How would you simplify this?
I tried Aider recently to modify a quite small python + HTML project, and it consistently got "uv" commands wrong, ended up changing my entire build system because it didn't think the thing I wanted to do was supported in the current one (it was).

They're very effective at making changes for the most part, but boy you need to keep them on a leash if you care about what those changes are.

> Maybe trump will interpret the law in a way that lets people vote, or maybe he'll decide that correct interpretation is to limit voting to people more likely to vote for his third term.

Trump doesn't execute those laws, though. The states do, as they are in charge of running elections. Certainly Trump's DoJ could bring lawsuits against states that don't comply in the way Trump wants them to, but it's far from certain that the courts (even Trump's stacked SCOTUS) will agree with Trump's interpretations.
I wasn't asking out of anger like others would.

> No President is above the law, nor does the President "interpret" the law

On paper, but not in practice, sadly.

The meaning of the Constitution has been bent to serve Trump's will. He violated the law constantly during his first term, was not held accountable for the electoral violations or coup, and is now violating the law again. He's gotten away with it every single time.

I'm sorry to say this. You are describing an America that no longer exists. We live in a new country with new rules that we don't quite understand yet.
"I'm always surprised to see a fair amount of support for DOGE here. I'd love to understand why these people think this is OK."

So consider the guy who makes $100k/year and spends $200k/year. Over the course of enough years what must inevitably happen here?

I think making financial decisions to avoid what amounts to bankruptcy is OK.

Now, the US wont ever go "bankrupt" or "default" of course, but it will absolutely print money to service the debt on its bonds. Bond holders tend not to like that and sooner or later will demand higher payments in exchange for the use of their money thus increasing our "minimum monthly payment" on our giant credit card.

Sooner or later we get to a death spiral situation - nobody knows when that will be or what set of circumstances will trigger it - and when/if it does finally happen it will somehow take everyone by surprise. Nothing is so surprising as the inevitable when it finally occurs.
I don't think your point that root cause is lack of initial resources contradicts the article's view on the benefits of pursuing excellence in education over uniformity. It is plausible that more uniform starting conditions and pursuit of excellence can coexist.
I can already use Wireshark itself with docker containers.

IMO the real UX problem is that there’s nothing in between “Wireshark” and “DevTools.”

What would be cool is a program that renders the real DevTools UI from a .pcap file (or stdin).

There’s a lot of use cases where I can capture all the traffic with Wireshark but I just want a basic DevTools interface.

The agreement was that we would not put rockets in their back yard. The response was therefore entirely predictable which means we should now consider if it was worth putting rockets in their back yard. What was gained by it?

Don't speak on my behalf. I'm a gamedev and I want this. Claiming faster prototyping is wrong because it's "as much about the journey as the result" is just ridiculous. I want to quickly test mechanics and couldn't care less about the intrinsic motivation.
BTW, I wonder if any test frameworks are using the hot reloading JVMs yet? Would also solve this problem.
I think the point is that as a user you expect revocation of trust to protect you going forward, yet it doesn’t (e.g. the server shouldn’t be forwarding new messages to). That’s a design decision Signal made but clearly it’s one that leaves you open to harm. Moreover, it’s a dangerous decision because after obtaining the IK in some way (e.g. stolen device) you’re able to then essentially surreptitiously take over the account without the user ever knowing (i.e. no phishing needed). As an end user these are surprising design choices and that Signal discounted this as not part of their threat model to me suggest their threat model has an intentional or unintentional hole; second-hand devices that aren’t wiped are common & jail breaks exist.

This isn’t intractable either. You could imagine various protocols where having the IK is insufficient for receiving new messages going forward or impersonating sending messages. A simple one would be that each new device establishes a new key that the server recognizes as pertaining to that device and notifications are encrypted with a per-device key when sending to a device and require outbound messages to be similarly encrypted. There’s probably better schemes than this naive approach.
Well the article is about speed of development, not the speed at which the code runs.

Over the years I’ve come to embrace moving fast and writing code quickly, even if it’s not the fastest. The faster I get the big things done, the more time I can spend optimizing what matters after I’ve identified it and determined it’s valuable.
Any basic operation you can do with reversible computing on bits, can be done with qubits.

Any basic operation you can do with normal computing on bits can be done with reversible computing on bits provided that you have enough ancillary bits to store the information that would normally be deleted in the irreversible normal operation on bits.

When you say “liberal bias” do you mean “liberal” as in:

(1) The American political self-identity of mild reformist supporters of capitalism?

(2) The international political self-identity of supporters of laissez-faire capitalism?

(3) The pejorative used by much of the right wing for any viewpoint perceived to be to the left of Mussolini?

(4) Or, the pejorative used by much of the left for any viewpoint perceived to be to the right of Chairman Mao?

Because “liberal” is a heavily-overloaded term in politics.
This is a great hack. It won’t work 100% of the time but it’ll be close, and damn it’s just so clean. Proxies and intercepts all the way down… I love this.
Seems like an enormous organizational challenge to even get through the queue of other US gov agency attorneys wanting to know the presidents opinion on just how many ppm of this particulate is allowed per the statute. Such that the new status quo will be no enforcement at all. And maybe that's just fine w this administration.
Agreed.

Every citizen in a democracy has a duty to understand, respect, and uphold the law and the constitution. Congress defines what the law is, the judiciary adjudicates disputes on how the law should be interpreted, and the president can only execute that law. But all federal employees have their own duty to understand and uphold the law. The president has no special power to interpret the law: the law is what it is, and perhaps what the courts clarify.

An agency head that is disobeying the law can be fired by the president. An agency head who is not disobeying the law can't be fired (assuming there is no other cause, such as poor management, of course). If there is disagreement on whether the agency head was upholding the law or not, that's not up to the president, it's up to the courts to decide.

Having the president be the ultimate authority on the interpretation of every law and regulation, even within the executive branch, is not only unconstitutional, but also unworkable. A single man can't physically review every single aspect of the American government, they have neither the time nor the mental capacity to be the ultimate authority on every single aspect of the federal government.

So not only is it normal that the president defers to agency heads on the interpretation of the applicable law that they are experts in, it is the only way the system can function. The president has plenty of control over the agency by naming the head, they don't need and can't have more control than that.
No general solution? :) If you came up with this hack I’m sure you can extend it…

Cert pinning has to read a public cert from memory, right? And a public cert has a well-known shape… and you have bpf and access to the memory…
There is "blazingly fast" where you also have to only include SSDs, still see your root drive taking seconds to populate data for, and still requiring admin for the whole app with those ugly underlines otherwise..

And then there is literally instant, for literally everything, while the app itself is in normal mode and thus preserves the non-admin benefits.

a) Not for the app, only for Everything

b) Those other file systems could also be indexed by Everything (though via a slower mechanism). Also given the primacy of NTFS, I'd definitely trade the ability to have folder sizes for drives I rarely use for the instant calculations on drives I use all the time

c) Good. Waiting for MS docs could mean a few more decades of wasted potential
