By the rest of Europe? Kinda.

They always seem to have imagined themselves to sit halfway across the Atlantic instead of a few miles off the French coast.
I'm not sure I'm understanding the relationship to what I said there.

Is that example supposed to be an indication that the US Govt. does take its national security and secrets seriously?
Directus has its small-scale and short term benefits, but I can’t recommend building a production-grade app with it. My company uses Directus and we all hate it and are desperately trying to get away from it. Avoid.

They openly admit that insults can also get you a fine and have your computer confiscated. And this isn't a weird conspiracy theory, they are proud of it.

Very active keeping Google engineers busy, that is certainly indeed.

Oops - I met 'not an experienced lawyer'. I've gotta proofread.
> These tools, by default make things complicated and slower, so there needs to be a positive benefit for their use case that balances this.

I'm confused by this reasoning. How does Docker make things slower by default? Why would you look favorably on a company that doesn't use it?

make
scp mybin machine@foo.com/deploy
ssh machine@foo.com -c 'systemctl restart myservice'

Or

docker build
docker push myimage@latest
ssh machine@foo.com -c 'docker-compose up'

At least with the second one, you have automatic artifact tracking for easier rollbacks.
I saw this while browsing Hacker News on my phone. I wanted to say something but I don’t know what I could say without sounding hypocritical.

I guess I’ll just leave this comment and put my phone down. And try to be more mindful to not browse sites like this aimlessly. But I’ve tried that before too.
The topic, as I see it, is propaganda. There are no sources of truth, only competing claims and differing levels of sincerity and reach. I'm sorry you find the subject tiresome. I do, too. But many in HN accept these sources as sincere when they are clearly factional and "biased". I'm not using "bias" in the Rationalist fallacy sense. That is very tired. I'm using it in two ways: a) the ideological, which is also tiresome but without which it's very hard to grok b) the progandistic function of "media" in the modern political order. It's not just the policing of the Overton window. There are certain thoughts you cannot take seriously until you shed some of this "bias". If you do you risk being "bad" and losing status. That is the ultimate function of mainstream media, to police status markers. Hence they are the cultural gatekeepers.

I mean that quite literally. Go ahead and try it. Assume the devil's advocate for any contemporary sacred cow and see how far you take it before you reject the position as not merely wrong but absurd or declasse.

Are you European? Do you live in Europe? Tell me how "Europeans" view the US at the moment.
Blocked from accessing zdf.de outside of Germany
I tried accessing the German public-service television broadcaster ZDF's website (zdf.de) from outside of Germany, but it seems I'm being blocked. There are national elections happening today in Germany, and I wanted to follow the coverage.

But the long hand of US law reaches even there if it is owned by an US company.
This is consistent with the top-level response, about expense signaling quality.

Consider the quantity of people coming from outside the USA to study. It may be that foreigners looking for prestigious schools are searching in the USA because their own system is middling (except maybe for a flagship school?). Thus, they're also doing the damage to the USA's education market while not affecting their own domestic one.

Why today would one spend $100M on 1 equipment unit when you can pump instead $100M and get 10M unstoppable drones?
And people who made big deal about that while being silent now are quite massive hypocrites.

It is so clear in retrospect how fake the outrage was.
All of the data that would be needed to answer this question is hopelessly confounded and corrupted. There wasn't even reliable tracking of the highly gamed definition of "vaccinated" in the first place. The only real control group that ever existed was in the manufacturers' trials, and the only thing they attempted to measure was prevention of symptomatic infection.
The sensor likely needs to send all of this info for compliance reasons. Each measurement needs to be tied to the sensor directly I think.
I notice it most when the situation is different to my memories.

Earlier this week I took a bus at school ending time. Several children — roughly 8-12 years old — spent their whole journey on their phones.
There’s an old civics aphorism: if goods don’t cross borders, then armies will.

Giving all your data to foreign states though may be a bridge too far. That’s not the same as buying cars or Swedish Fish.
I have interviewed Turkish people that did not have Cloud experience as their large companies (e.g. banks) were not allowed to use US cloud services. Seems like that was wise now.
You seem to be overlooking the numerous things other than roll clearing that can make it harder to vote. There are several more in this comment [1], and a large list of references in the comment linked in footnote 5 there.

The total number of votes don’t matter. It’s just the votes in the swing states. If 75% of the people in California stay home, it doesn’t matter.

They only need to change policy enough to keep from pissing off deep blue states and to flip a few swing states.
It’s a recapitulation of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, with the modern distinction being between nuclear states and the apparently less sovereign.

I hate my phone.
For years I've been mad at the content on the device - the interruptions - but I realized that was all misplaced.

I hate the device and ecosystem itself.

Felt right to finally figure that out
Yes, I agree.

I make the parallel with "gold." Whoever has your gold, got you by the hanging spheres.

Given the importance of data today, I am baffled common citizens are not familiar with the "Data at rest" principle.
I'll add to the conversation another interesting technique from Chris Voss, which is to use no-oriented questions.

People like to say no. (I'm not sure what this cognitive bias is, but anecdotally I agree.)

So, if you can frame your requests in a way that "no is permission", it will often get a red light a bit easier.

Example: replace "Is this a good idea?" with "is this a bad idea?"

Now, of course "not a bad idea" is not the same thing as "good idea", but it's a lot more likely. Even reading that, I imagine most people would respond more intuitively, because it helps us avoid a commitment we don't necessarily want to adopt.
I would rather run software directly than wrap it in something, (and in this case, the wrapper isn't thin!) unless there are complex system dependencies. And that may be a smell of its own. Depends on the application.
With social networks or any EU startup problem is you have to deal with different languages right at the start.

Being US startup with English only you have access to 300m people right away.

There were country specific social networks but then all cool kids were on FB so everyone moved there.

The same with LinkedIn, our country specific business social network closed down finally last year. First 3-5 years it was growing then everyone moved to LinkedIn so that network was ghost town for 15 years someone kept it alive just in case but seems like they stopped wasting money.
I see Americans defending Trumps and Musk. Or acting as if everyone just overreacted. So I would say, quite a lot of Americans are either fine with this or actively want it.

Ok, that's one datapoint. Another datapoint says that Linux originated in Europe.

> 1. There are claims that federal spending is out of control. How do you square that with the fact that spending as a percentage of GDP is only slightly elevated compared to the historical average going back to at least the 1970s, with the main deviation in the past few years coming from the after-effects of the pandemic? [1]

Why do you choose 1970 as a baseline? Federal spending is absolutely out of control when compared to, say 1913, as a baseline.

“…a wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities.”

I'm not sure what you mean to my understanding all tests are calibrated regularly every few years. and from that calibration they get the weights.

Are you saying you're sceptical about the calibration process?
I get your point.

I did play most Ultimas though. I don't remember the combat annoying me. Perhaps because I just wanted to get it done and move on with the story.
Word Strategy Game for the Web. Find the Imposters
I made a web-version for the popular "Undercover" Game, because it's a fun game to play with your friends and was lacking a web-version.

Undercover is a social deduction word game similar to Werewolf or Among Us.

Check it out with your friends, it's open source:
- Play here: https://undercover.localplayer.dev
- Github: https://github.com/antebrl/undercover-word-game

Explanation:
A small group of Impostors has appeared in the game. They have a different word than the others and must hide. Civilians have to discover them.

There are 3 groups in the game: Civilians, Undercover and Mr.White. The majority of the residents are the peace-loving Civilians. There are up to two groups of Impostors: Undercover and Mr.White.

Civilians: Discover their identity and oust the Undercover & Mr.White.
Undercover: Undercover their identity and survive till the end.
Mr.White: Survive till the end or crack the Civilians secret word.

Leave a star on github and submit feedback, if you like it. Thanks alot.
There's a long tail of stuff that isn't paid indeed but I don't think this is confirmation bias. I maintain a few things myself actually. The thing is, I'm not actually expecting to get paid.I think you are underestimating just how many OSS developers have steady jobs and over estimating the urgency of the issue. I don't think the crisis you are outlining actually exists. But I'm sure there are individuals who'd like to get paid more for whatever they are doing.
My rural American hometown has surprisingly expensive homes because of highly restrictive building codes, many of the houses are owned by retired people or wealthy people from out of town, there's little industry to speak of, and multiple people from my 30-student 8th grade graduating class who stayed in town and did not leave for college have now died of heroin overdoses.
OVH, who burned down a data center because it didn’t have fire suppression. Never forget.

What do you mean by there? I live in Europe and can say what I want, as long as I don't threaten someone, etc. You may want to check the World Press Freedom Index: https://rsf.org/en/index

The top-13 are only European countries. The top-18 are only European countries + Canada. The US is at position 55. Similarly, in the freedom of expression index, many European countries (including Germany, which was your example), rank higher than the US:

McGruff's Crime Board
Works fine for me, I'm traveling around Europe but currently in a non EU country.
I have never worked with companies that chose OVH or Hetzner (or Scaleway or any other EU provider) for something else than doing things cheap.

They don't care at all about the provider being a local or European company.
They just want the cheapest option.

Which usually means using the same server to host dev/UAT/prod, and also using the extra storage available to store company data unrelated to the workloads hosted on the server.

Whereas the companies that are using big clouds are more focused on doing things with more care, and trying to avoid as much disaster as possible.

But I guess having PII data exposed on the web from an Hetzner server is better than having everything encrypted on AWS...
Same for me.

In case it’s useful to someone, in many native Mac apps you can get the main toolbar to show both. Try right-clicking on the toolbar -> Customize Toolbar -> Icon and Text. Doesn’t work everywhere though, but still super useful to me, I enable it whenever I can.
Apple Intelligence On by Default 15.3 and again 15.3.1
Upgrading to MacOS 15.3 and Apple turns on Apple Intelligence by default and also turns on Apple Intelligence reporting by default with a 15 min interval. After disabling both and then upgrading to MacOS 15.3.1 Apple again turns on Apple Intelligence by default ignoring your earlier choice. Unfortunate to see Apple adopt a dark tactic hear out of Microsoft's playbook.
Same here. Many use it as a mega downvote button to kill stories they don’t like.

Some dupe posts I flagged are missing last time I looked at it. Possibly working as intended. Comments from another section are missing from my account that I had wanted to save criticizing the moderating down-weight system too.
London is famous for the lack of any interaction on public transport. Before phones, the most organized people would read books or newspapers they'd purchased. Less organized people would read the free newspaper, look idly at the advertising, or stare out of the window — even in a tunnel.
Gladius – command line, keyboard only, multicursor code editor with LSP in Beta
Hi,

I just wanted to present you a project I've been working on for a while now.

Here's some features:
- sane default keybindings for those who don't have time to learn
- language server protocol support built in, with "show usages", "go to definition" and warnings/errors displayed alongside in code
- "everything bar" - context aware fuzzy search menu
- learning mode - when enabled, all keyboard shortcuts are displayed in "everything bar", but you have to use them to trigger action (as opposed to just select and hit Enter)
- multicursor, with all default code operations
- fuzzy file finder
- nice "save as" dialog

All that implemented in Rust, with 300+ tests.

I hope you'll enjoy it!

Europe has done this before. Airbus did not exist but now it is the best aircraft maker since Boeing decided to retire all their senior engineers in favor of quick profits. Europe created Airbus, they can do the same with a new Cloud provider.

The role of a leader is an age old role. When someone is thrown into leadership, I do believe a lot of adrenaline kicks in. You begin acting as if you are a leader similar to how a parent has parent senses and will run into a street to save any kid from a car (poor example, any human should, but hopefully you get my point). I think what you get in a war room is that primal "phenomena" of "oh shit I'm the leader now". You have to weather the primal emotions, and get a cool head back on to fulfill the leadership role.

If it's your first time, then yeah, you will probably handle it like a dick (or twat). You gotta take on an ancient role with humility.
Please explain to me why harder to vote has an automatic correlation with hurting Democratic, but not Republican, turnout; especially considering Republican’s greater propensity to live in rural areas with a longer distance to the voting booth.

Attempting to study psi leads to a paradox:

> (1) if the existence of psi is proven in a classical scientific setting, then it demonstrates retroactively that this setting is inappropriate because psi implies that there is no clear “cut” between the observer and the observed. (2) So, if this assumption of the scientific setting is inappropriate (because of psi), then this setting cannot be used to prove the existence of psi. But, then, as psi cannot be proven, the scientific setting itself appears as being still appropriate!

If psi exists, then it's unsurprising that experimenters who believe in it find evidence for it, because their belief influences the experiment. Same goes for skeptics and negative results. The paper describes how this problem carries up through any levels of blinding and meta-analysis: there can be no independent observer. They reference something called "Correlation Matrix Method" as a possible solution to the paradox, but I didn't follow the references as my interest is fairly casual.

Definitely I did read the article but I’ll address your point about priority shifts.

I think handling priority shifts is a part of the job. If you can’t get people to talk to each other about priorities and help illuminate that they have to compromise on what is important in order to get the best outcome, then you’re failing as an engineer.

However I do work at a company where I have an active hand in planning the roadmap as a senior engineer. I often tell the senior leadership what my thoughts are about priorities and I feel empowered to say “no,” or “let’s do that later” to asks. I understand this isn’t how everywhere works. Maybe the author and I have very different work experiences.

To me, if someone says “we are shifting priorities.” I think of it as a chance to improve what work we are doing. I feel that the author would see it as an opportunity to waste their time more.

I don’t believe that engineers are pawns in a political game. I think it’s a strange thing to suspect and I have some doubts about your mental well being. Looking through your other comments, it seems to be a common trend of yours to speak of people as pawns. Perhaps you feel like you are a pawn at work? Or maybe you see the world as a political game where you are a pawn?

I don’t think that’s a wise perspective - even in chess a single pawn often can win the game. Even with even pawns, the better coordinated pawns can win. Just some food for thought.
People have tried and you're right, there wasn't a lot of buy-in.

It didn't help that these attempts were torpedoed aggressively by Microsoft, Google et al.

And this will be felt on both sides of the pond.

Unlike most other developed countries, the US has no real site blocking, mostly because it doesn't need it. They have enough control over the financial system and enough friends in foreign governments that they can essentially nuke websites that don't follow American law off the face of the earth, or at least force them not to serve American users of their own "free will". See e.g. crypto exchanges that don't follow KYC/AML, crypto-native prediction markets that nevertheless require a VPN for Americans to access, despite not even interacting with the non-crypto financial system, piracy sites which are often shut down at the behest of the US government, foreign banks that ask you whether you're a US citizen etc.

Once the answer to "we are the SEC, you can't let Americans visit your site or we'll get you extradited" changes from "yessir" to "fuck off, we're Europeans who have never stepped foot in the US, American law doesn't apply to us, and our government is gonna back us up on that", things will get really interesting.

As a European who is very much against EU tech regulations and the EU way of doing tech generally, this is definitely one change I'll welcome with open arms.

As an aside, I'm surprised "freely offering drugs / pirated content / havala-style unregulated P2P crypto exchanges to Americans on the open internet" isn't a model that a US-unfriendly nation has tried so far.
The 40-50% isn’t what the Obama administration proposed. The article says the administration didn’t propose a specific number. The point is that there’s clearly a problem here that isn’t something Trump is making up.

This is an easy way to get rid of a large percentage of government workers who don’t have a requirement to check email everyday. People out in the field or even people out sick or on vacation, etc.

Reading between the lines. Musk thought the government would be like Twitter. However, he is getting increasingly frustrated and didn’t comprehend how large the US government is. So he has to use tactics like this to make a dent. When this doesn’t work, he’ll use a tactic like, “Everyone is fired. If you want your job back then you need to apply again.”

He thought he could fix everything overnight and it’s turning out to be a lot of work. He’s getting bored because it’s too much work. Now he is getting desperate and uses tactics like this.
That’s my point really. People just assume government workers are lazy and don’t do much but in reality a lot of these people play CRITICAL roles. Having been on both sides, government workers aren’t more or less efficient versus private counterparts. I can go on and on about lazy and zero-skill people in private enterprises that survive purely on “networking”. And we saw evidence of this during the pandemic when a lot of these people were exposed.

This country would literally fall apart within the week and people will beg them to return.
