The question is not whether they can find someone else to hire. They can always do that for the prevailing market price. The question is, how much more do they have to pay to get someone to take on ~$30,000/year in commuting costs than they would if they didn't require that?
The article links to this[1] older HN comment which argues against CBOR. I must admit this passage made me laugh out loud:

A decoder that comes across a simple value (Section 2.3) that it does not
recognize, such as a value that was added to the IANA registry after the
decoder was deployed or a value that the decoder chose not to implement,
might issue a warning, might stop processing altogether, might handle the
error by making the unknown value available to the application as such (as
is expected of generic decoders), or take some other type of action.

I choose not to implement `int`. I decide instead to fill up your home folder. I'm a compliant CBOR implementation.

Seems this part of the specification has been rewritten[2], so now a generic decoder is to pass on the tag and value to the user or return an error.

You can get rid of legacy OS like Windows or Linux that cannot run applications in the sandbox and switch to those which can. In this case the malware only gets a sandbox and not the whole system.

If you work for a commercial company then you should not download the code from random users on Github for free but from commercial, safe repositories where the code is inspected, tested and verified. Or from reputable large commercial companies that are unlikely to put backdoors. Microsoft or Apple won't risk their reputation by backdooring an open-source library.

Yup, that’s the reason! Had one lying around my house (I’d originally bought a pack of them at a really cheap price)!
I'm not sure exactly what point you are arguing. The issue in this subthread is whether or not cruelty to federal employees is "the point" of the recent actions. I claim that it's not the objective, but a side effect. I claim that the Trump administration's main objective is to dissolve these agencies, not specifically to inflict harm on employees. All of the agency de-fundings and dissolutions can be much better explained as serving some other goal: either industry profit, or to make it easier for his party (or Trump himself!) to win in 2028, or to undo some perceived left-leaning agenda.

I am hardly advocating for destruction of the USA simply because I disagree with that pithy quotable, "The cruelty is the point."
Just curious how is this working out if I am working for an American company in Europe and I come to us for a meeting let's say? I will be there for a few days and actually working at the local branch.
I've noticed that some sites are buggy on Firefox (hello YouTube) but I don't think I've ever had to actually switch to Chrome to do anything. Maybe it helps that I mostly use electrical invoicing, so I don't really need to use a browser to pay my bills.
Maybe don't put too much into the word "court order", but instead interpret it as an order from the government to force the company to use the tool for the governments/country's benefit.

One could also assume that the owners and/or management of the company are in the same boat as the government/country so they do not mind using the tool for the country's benefit when needed.

These pictures are great - maybe it's time for me to get a new desktop background.

Kinda related: some years ago NASA published all the Apollo missions pictures. I downloaded all of them (hundreds, maybe bit more), acting as a photo editor then I selected "good ones", cropped them to 16:10 format and made a background picture pack - I'm using it on all my devices since then. If someone is interested, they're published at [0] - feel free to use.

love this.
would also love to see the direction of scroll and scroll speed reflected in character's behavior, ie walking up or down and walking vs running respectively.

I often wonder why corporate engagements (advertisements) aren't wrapped in something like this. people are always looking for distractions even while they're in the middle of a distraction so a fun interaction that starts out by getting your attention like this would seem to make sense. anyway, this is cool

I wonder how that will work out in practice with regards to Manifest V3? Are Chromium based browsers free to stay with V2?
Some sites block by user agent, you may just need to use an extension to spoof it and the site should work.
Some browsers like Vivaldi do that by default.
Though, this sucks, but it's better than the alternative.
The act of scrolling is only noticeable by the browser + Javascript per whatever cycle it's on; it's not always watched except for at certain checkpoints.

To more accurately be affected by quick scrolls, save the last known y-axis value and compare to the current y-axis value. Act accordingly!
One thing I also don’t like in caddy is the lack of caching configuration available without using a partially implemented extension. I find it quite important as a reverse proxy with nginx.

Sorry, I read the 2nd sentence as removing housing entirely, for some reason. I see that's not what they're saying, they're just talking about the relative weight of the thing.

My apologies for not knowing offhand everything that goes into the CPI, and not googling it for more context, I was just asking questions on the internet instead. I should've known better than to hope for learning something from my fellow humans.
Thanks for sharing your feedback! Could you let me know the reason behind it? Are you currently using Manticore or Meilisearch?
Australia's Assistance and Access Orders (TAN, TCN, etc.) [0] basically allow the government to order mandatory backdoors into various software. They do have some oversight, but it isn't significant. They can order any employee, not just the company.

The wording is also... Squirelly. You can't introduce a weakness, but the definition of weakness excludes the entire concept of backdoors.

However, Technical Capability Notices can be ordered where:

> reasonable, proportionate, practicable and technically feasible

The employee/company can push back and argue one of those isn't met, but ultimately it is the office of the Governor General that decides.

So far, it has basically only be used against journalists [1], as far as we know, which is nice and horrific.

Isn’t the push to deprecate and remove Manifest V2 in favor of V3 and therefore removing or at least significantly cutting down possibilities for users to block ads a major push from the Google side? A field in which they, conveniently, make their major cut of their profit?
Brave is a big company already, still they’ve already announced that they won’t be able to support V2 for too long as the codebase will break over time.

Only because something is OSS doesn’t mean it’s not controlled by a single entity or consortium. We need competition, especially in something so damn critical like web browsers (which are like OSes for the web).

Mozilla is and has been a savior. They’re doing weird shit, but compared to Google and Apple they’re still as transparent as possible, even with their shit. And their shit is not even THAT bad, while I still dislike it and also thought about replacing FF for a short time. I just hope they come back to the right path, at least in their communications.

Okay so you get the holodeck villa, and I get the real beach villa (which also has a holodeck inside). Deal?
I think one of the most robust rating systems I've worked with is based on comparisons, i.e. "did you like this more or less than X". This is more computationally intensive, but it can be made to work even with intransitive and unreliable judgments.
It's a nice touch that the article tells you you're browsing it with a blink-based browser, it's the first time I've seen fingerprinting used to enhance an explanation

> What stops evil.com from having an API endpoint called evil.com/returnBankCSRFToken that goes to bank.com, scrapes token and returns it?

so evil.com will now require some sort of authentication mechanism with bank.com to scrape a valid CSRF token. If this authentication works (either if the user willingly gave their login information to evil.com, or they have a deal with bank.com directly), then there's no issues, and it works as expected.

I am baffled. My family found it boring, senseless and my kids didn't want to finish watching it. My theory is that the lack of talking makes people imagine there is something there when there is nothing. It makes zero sense. The graphics are also not very good.

What are your plans for the longevity of this? How are you ensuring there are enough funds and time to go around for maintenance? What are your contingency plans for when you realise there is indeed not enough funds and time to maintain it? These are questions I'd like answered before I commit!

I love the initiative but my experience tells me these things tend to die out after 2–5 years, and I'd hate to lose my reading history then.
I love the term "hopepunk" mentioned in the article! I feel like lately horrors, thrillers, dystopias and such are on the rise in all media. So it's very nice to see creators who are optimistic about the future, at least about fictional one.
So a stock market and/or real estate crash can actually be good to reduce inequality . In fact I think its about the only way to dramatically reduce inequality.

> It acknowledges the reality that a non-exhaustive enum isn’t really an enum. It’s just a list of things that people might type into that field.

I would say the opposite, the kinds of enums that map a case to a few hardcoded branches (SUCCESS, NETWORK_ERROR, API_ERROR) are often an approximation of algebraic data types which Rust implements as enums [0] but not most languages or data formats. Since often using those will require something like a `nullthrows($response->getNetworkError())` once you've matched the enum case.

The kind of enum that's just a string whitelist, like flavors or colors, which you can freely pass around and store, likely converting it into a human-readable string or RGB values in one or two utils, is the classic kind of enum to me.

I am a FOSS developer myself for many years, and this is exactly kind of stuff I'd love to hear. So no, it is totally OK to give your ideas to the developer in this form.
> The big question would be whether the current 30k limit is there for technical reasons or for marketing reasons like not wanting ad blocking to be too effective. If it is a technical limit the forkers might also have to rewrite the rule processing engine which would likely be more than they would want to deal with.

It’s Google. The whole Manifest is there for marketing reasons. The whole browser even. Google doesn’t want us to have a nice browser because it benefits us. It benefits them. And this will continue. With V3 they already did the biggest cut down of af blocking in their browser. They will continue this path.

Their main income is ads. They don’t care for anything else.

I'm sure it's true, but is this considering 401k? Where the person has little to do with the individual stonks.

Best trick is allowing the top 50% to hate the bottom 50% and naturally visa versa BUT ALSO have a huge portion of the bottom 50% to root and vote for the top.

The 2008 stock market crash famously reduced inequality. Definitely didn't increase inequality by leaving the average person (via government bailouts) holding the bag.
How can one “financially educate” himself out of the prices doubling in a matter of a few years? And that’s until we get to basic stuff like the cost of housing.

Which is to say that neo-liberal patches like “you’re poor because you’re financially illiterate!” need to go, a real structural reform must be put in place in most of the Western world.
Prove it’s an opinion with your own anecdotal experience.

Wipe. Dual booting sucks. The reality is you'll spend the vast majority of your time using one OS.

Do try to get a Linux laptop first, though, otherwise you're paying the Windows tax and not sending the right signals to manufacturers. Dell have made Windows-free laptops for years. Unfortunately the last one I bought (15 years ago) did have ghastly "Windows keys", but maybe it's better now? I scratched mine off.
Commercial Linux distributions like Red Hat, Suse and Canonical stake their reputation on compiling a trustworthy collection of open source software, in exchange for money. Unfortunately they disclaim any legal responsibility, but at least they make reasonable efforts to analyze the security of the software they are distributing, in order to avoid PR disasters.

For some reason the same business model has not made many inroads for higher-level language ecosystems, although many companies are trying - for example the Python Conda distribution.
The 2008 crash was also famously centred around mortgages, rather than pure stocks
One of my favourite memories branching out was taking an intro to abstract algebra course where the professor was in his 90s and a WW2 vet which left a lifelong impression. Was such a fantastic course and essential to honing my proof writing skills.
They also started putting plastic gears in their gas powered stuff. No bearings, just bushings in the shaft. Crap like that.

All these companies some of us remember are all now owned by the same company. This is how capitalism goes. Eventually, a company makes a mistake, and a competitor will absorb them.

This is dramatically simplified, but the big joke is that capitalism breeds competition and that is good for the consumer.

I notice this only on web apps that should be native android apps (progressive web apps they are called, I believe).

Normal websites work almost always. Those that don't work typically don't support Firefox 's strict data protection mode (whatever that's called).

I REALLY hate that. Companies become so lazy and hire the worst web developers that don't have any clue and no self-respect.

I still keep using Firefox . Ultimately there's an alternative for everything and if a company doesn't want me as a visitor or customer, so be it.
My guess: they are the same update rate. The lens flares have blurrier edges and move less across the screen. This makes the jumps less obvious.

CGI animations also add blurring, and even your eyes have an integration time that will make fast moving objects blurry. So your brain good at interpolating blurry edges.
In some versions of the iPhone the screen is maliciously connected to the board with strong adhesive making these replacements not easy at all.
Yup. I have spent enough time on the internet to instantly start thinking about how to get Sweden (or why not all Nordic countries?) banned.

The guy seems pretty tragic though. It seems like all problems are someone else's fault, while what is really missing is a healthy self image. I feel sorry for everyone he/she meets, but also for him/her. I think every sane person eventually has an "oh wait. It's me!" moment. While tough, they make you a better person.
It's not really the top 50% and bottom 50% though, is it? More like top 10% and bottom 90%. Or even top 1% and bottom 99%, depending on where you draw the rich/poor dividing line
In the US you need to earn only $178,611 as a HOUSEHOLD to be in the top 10%. That's less than $90K per person.

Comparatively, you need to earn $663,164 to be in the top 1%, and more than $3M to be in the top 0.1%.

I just want to highlight this to remind that the top 10% is by far not made up exclusively of ultra-rich individuals like people on internet like to believe.

Prompt injection means that unless people using LLMs to generate code are willing to hunt down and inspect all dependencies, it will become extremely easy to spread malware.
Overstates?

Chrome removed manifest v2. It's also missing from Chromium, which means that many other browsers now have to decide to maintain that version manually, or remove it. It is being removed from Edge, a big competitor, just because maintaining it is too much work. Removing V2 and adding V3 does a lot of damage to the users, in favor of adding power to Google's Ad services.

So yeah, no, nothing is overstated here.
These are national forests, not the national parks Roosevelt is famous for. There is already logging in national forests, heavily controlled of course. This proposal to increase logging is not entirely new - the Biden administration was considering changing national forest logging for the same reason, to reduce wildfire risks in the Pacific Northwest. The Trump administration is basically doing a more aggressive version, in part to offset all the timber imported from Canada and China.
> Design by committee is how IETF works

If the IETF is design by committee, almost any collaboratively developed standard could be called designed by committee. And I'm rather confident in assuming you haven't seen ITU or IEEE in action, or you'd be singing angel's choir praises on the IETF process…

(The IETF really does not have a committee process by any reasonable definition.)

It doesn't look like that from outside America.
And how much of that is owners of tech companies that they founded?

The US economy depends on those tech companies: try succeeding in a country that only has old school businesses: I remember the top stocks for France are terrifyingly old. I'm in New Zealand and we hardly have any tech stocks. Xero, RocketLabs? We often sell our successes overseas.

Edit: many of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wealthiest_Americans_b... are founders. Looking at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_French_billionaires_by... and too many of the businesses are over a century old, more than a few from the 1800s.

Edit: The irony of rich Americans talking about wealth inequality is harsh. There's billions of people that desperately want the resources that a poor US citizen spends. If you are American and want to talk about the wealthy, look at yourself and ask how your wealth should be taken from you and given to the poor of the world...
Protip: if you ever want to downplay inequality, gloss over wealth inequality and focus on income inequality to the exclusion of all else.

It's VERY effective.
