I genuinely don't follow. Yes, the bungalow sits on land ( enough for BBQ for 5-6 people ) and I sit inside the bungalow. Neither of the them make me any money. I can't sold them and live in the stratosphere. I either have to buy something else or rent.

DNSSEC has aged very poorly. I also believe it operates at the wrong layer. When you surf to chase.com you want to make be sure that the website you see is actually JPMorganChase and not Mallory’s fake bank site. That’s why we have HTTPS and the WebPKI. If your local DNS server is poisoned somehow that’s obviosly not good, but it cannot easily send you to a fake version of chase.com.

Part of why it’s so hard for Mallory to create a fake version of a bank site is Certificate Transparency. It makes it much much harder to issue a forged certificate that a browser such as Chrome, Safari or Firefox will accept.

For further info about the flaws of DNSSEC I can recommend this article: https://sockpuppet.org/blog/2015/01/15/against-dnssec/ It’s from 2015 but I don’t think anything has really changed since that.
The Biden admin tried to shut them down by suing them for being an unlicensed security exchange. And they did this even though the only time the issue has been ruled on by a judge it was determined that crypto is not a security.
If MSFT had back ported servicing stack updates to 2016 it would still be usable. As it stands it bogs down unreasonably when applying updates and needs lengthy DISM /CleanupImage processes to be run periodically to reclaim disk space.
Ideally you can maintain the analog chain from recording to the listener’s ear, but that really isn’t feasible for a lot of artists today and could also suffer from generational loss through the process. With cutting a record from a digital source you can control the digital to analog conversion rather than relying on the listener’s DAC (usually not high end) and it only costs you one generation of loss. I don’t think it’s a huge deal, but maybe a benefit.
I've seen this in production C#. Same symptoms, process dump showed a corrupt dictionary. We thought we were using ConcurrentDictionary everywhere but this one came in from a library. We were using .net framework, IIRC .net core has code to detect concurrent modification. I don't know how they implement it but it could be as simple as a version counter.

It's odd he gets so hung up on npe being a critical ingredient when that doesn't appear to be present in the original manifestation. There's no reason to think you can't have a bug like this in C just because it doesn't support exceptions.

To me it's all about class invariants. In general, they don't hold while a mutator is executing and will only be restored at the end. Executing another mutator before the invariants are reestablished is how you corrupt your data structure. If you're not in a valid state when you begin you probably won't be in a valid state when you finish.
> In January 2023, it was reported that the submarines were likely to incorporate a vertical launch system (VLS) for land-attack missiles. This would be a first for Royal Navy SSNs, which currently launch land-attack missiles via their torpedo tubes. A VLS system was described as likely to increase interoperability options with the US Navy since future US land attack missiles may not have a horizontal launch option.

The Tomahawk and basically every similar cruise missile can easily be outfitted with any warhead. SLBMs aren't the only delivery platform.
Gutting NIH: Cutting senior scientists, summer internships cancelled
Some commenters are likening this to no-code/low-code. However, there is an important difference: When you prompt an LLM to generate some code, then for any further modification, the generated code becomes part of the software’s specification instead of the original prompt. In other words, as soon as you have some history of “coding” the software, you can’t experiment with modifying previous prompts to see how it changes the software. (You can in theory and replay the whole history, but then subsequent existing prompts won’t make sense anymore in the context of the changes made to preceding prompts.)

This is unlike no-code/low-code, where the “coder” still has full control and visibility over the specification and can tinker with it. With LLM-generated code, an increasing part of the “specification” is constituted by the code that has been generated so far, into which the “coder” has no insight. The “coder” can only try to run it to see how it behaves, but cannot reason about it like a no-code/low-code coder can about their specification.
The problem I see is that while Europe is waking up to the fact that they need to invest more in defense, they haven't realized yet that they need to build a military that can actually project power if they want to replace/augment the US. That's a different beast. And you are right, no single country in Europe could do that, and it would indeed be very bad if they would try. What has to happen is that Europe, ideally including the UK, comes together to form such a military.
I think you misunderstood my comment..

When a non-technical person hires an incompetent developer (that they likely don't know is incompetent at the time of hiring) to build something that turns out to be insecure - because the developer didn't know any better and the non-technical person doesn't have the skills to evaluate the output - no one was trying to do a bad thing, but they didn't know what they didn't know.

The non-technical person got something that did what they asked, without understanding all the underlying deficiencies.

It's the same with AI, I don't think non-technical people using AI are thinking "I don't care that this is building garbage code full of problems"..

Just like the first scenario, they don't know what they don't know, and they end up with something that does what they want, and that's a good outcome based on their limited knowledge.

To be clear, I don't think either of these scenarios is excusable or acceptable if you're working with PII or other security-sensitive things, I was just pointing out that this isn't new.
This was more involved than I thought it would be, in a good way.

I really don’t understand what in 2025 lead you to possibly believe that people are suddenly developing critical thinking skills.

The US just essentially voted a pro qanon party into power who is currently in the process of destroying the world.
When you keep the ip address, that often gives people everything that they need, along with "fingerprinting" data. Especially governments and huge corps like facebook/google/amazon, as they have you IP @ {date}/{time} as well. Match it up and you have the golden calf.
Compilations of data can have value. That’s the whole point of the “facts aren’t copyrightable, but databases are” principle.
Quite a few people do. Most of them just have editors who fact-check things prior to publication.
Except there have been a number of agreements with Russia over the last 20 years, and they have kept breaking them. The "peace" now will most likely just be a distraction so Russia can restart their efforts in ten years. It's not really a meaningful peace. This is what Zelensky tried to explain to Trump and Vance when they kept interrupting him.
Every word of the comment is in the code except "the". That level of redundancy is always bad. Yes, always.
So this is the type of comment I was thinking of. I'm just paste a segment from a previous comment that highlights the problems with this form of criticism, which I take to be more demonstration of an information literacy problem than a narrative that's pertinent to happenings with Firefox.

>I don't believe it's astroturfing, simply just mind bogglingly awful arguments. Claiming the decline in market share is tied to inadequate browser features with no two conversations ever agreeing on what those features are. No coherent theory of cause and effect between features and market share while ignoring structural advantages that are much more important drivers, which Google leverages. Claims that CEO pay is the problem when it's 1% of annual revenue. Idiosyncratic interpretations of their published statements that make unfalsifiable assumptions about intentions. And a basic inability to grasp and compare the relative scale of different types of transgressions (e.g. Google is increasingly driving the web into deeper dependence on Chromium, but Mozilla once did a Mr. Robot promo!)

These aren't good arguments. These aren't coming from a place of coherent thinking about the actual drivers of market share, and there's no coherent theory of cause and effect that ties other side bets to the trajectory. It's all incredibly low effort vibes because people seem to have lost grasp of how to make real arguments.
Giving the benefit of the doubt to the author... finding the quickest and easiest way to stop harassment and backlash is what I would have done too.

Usually: actually a third world is real. As constructed in your narrative there is a difference in the deltas between the two worlds and the third (i.e. one is more real).

That is what happens when the press is owned by a few billionaires or a couple of large media companies.

As I mentioned before, no 1 entity (includes all subsidizes, immediate family) should own no more than 3 Media Outlets. Media includes all kinds of Social Media, Broadcasting (Radio, TV Streaming) and Entertainment creation companies (like Fox, CBS).

This was pretty much forecasted when the fairness doctrine was eliminated.
Our next war is going to be in the Indo-Pacific, and the Diego Garcia is already a de facto American run base, and now going to be part of Marutius due to French and Indian lobbying [0], and because the UK deal was set to expire in 2036.

I'd trust the French more than the Brits in an Indo-Pac conflict, because they have actual stakes due to French Polynesia and Mayotte.

And if we're honest, it doesn't make sense for the UK to fight a Pacific war anyhow. The UK has constantly stepped up to help Ukraine and remains a very strong buttress against Russia. It's best if the UK remains a lynchpin for European security.

WebGL runs on the same machine but uses a very different path to the GPU. On Mac, OpenGL is deprecated and the implementation is very outdated and feature poor. WebGL is not deprecated, and uses the ANGLE library to run on top of Metal.
> my understanding is, they will do literally anything to make sure DOGE succeeds, because a failure is basically unacceptable.

Not sure I buy that. My general expectation is that once there’s a big, major problem which annoys the general public, Musk will be thrown to the wolves. See Trump’s previous go round; very few of his people stayed in favour for the whole administration.

Ask HN: Local (LAN) email server for homelab?
I have been playing with the idea of developing a simple email server for my LAN homelab, for 20-ish servers, VMs and containers to send regular messages about status, self-tests, errors, etc.

For a basic Unix-type box, email still seems like one of the most accessible, ready-out-of-the-box protocols for a machine to send messages about status.

Most of the discussion about self-hosting email focuses on deliverability and spam concerns, but that would obviously not be an issue in this setup. My understanding is that the architecture would be overall quite simplified and manageable.

Does anyone do this already?

And who knows, maybe other people living in my household would find it quaint and amusing to use a local email system to send messages back and forth ;)
That's the other fun side of Trump. He says a ton of outrageous things but, if you like him, you just pick and choose which bits are ridiculous and jokes and which are truthful when it's actually impossible to figure out which is which. Is he going to take over Greenland with force? His followers will say probably not because they don't see it. Is he going to introduce tariffs to Canada? His followers will say yes because they do see it. Has he done either? Not yet. Will he? Who knows!

But whether he's serious or not about a claim really comes down to whether someone likes it or not. Regardless, I'd argue that's a really poor way to lead.
Headline 1: Spins a Trump campaign speech that sounded like a skipping record and contained at least three separate insane statements any one of which would have instantly ended a campaign 20 years ago, including vague and apropos-nothing praise for Hannibal Lecter and the suggestions that he’s a real person, as normal

I think they think, it, strategic high tech investment in the US, is not worth doing. At least until 2030s.
That would be quite a surprise for me, if it's true. All I've read over the years is that TypeScript made JavaScript significantly saner and more pleasant to work with (and that was my experience too). Maybe you got the impression from the reactions to the TypeScript types can run DOOM video?
Oh, thanks Google, if my cloud spend is more than $967/mo, then I don’t get dinged by the $29 minimum. But this is the price of a bug report, because I can’t file a bug report without paying it.

And this situation is bad business. Google advertises that GCS has S3 interoperability support. And they have customers who use it in its interoperable mode. Presumably those customers could use GCS’s biggest competitor, too. Shouldn’t Google try to make the S3 interop work correctly?

It may not be auditable in the same was a block-based workflow, but there's nothing stopping you from saying "hey, this code doesn't do what I want, please improve it" to the LLM.

The whole point about the article is that reasoning about the code isn't always required any more, reasoning about the output is enough.
The difference between a rational person and a narcissist is this: one recognizes the sufficiency of world-destroying power, the other will always demand more, regardless of the absurdity.

Depends on the platform. Using a JS debugger is so easy, yet few devs I know use it.
The comments are absolutely astroturfed to fuck as well, but you're right, there's at least some small signal in there, whereas average Google results have an amount indistinguishable from zero.
Why wouldn't the required skill level increase though? I think it's expected that as a society specializes it becomes more and more difficult to get ahead if you're producing goods or services at the lowest level of specialization. With education getting better and technology improving, it's impossible to make rote jobs be economically feasible for anything other than robots.

Most people I know actively hate the AI art slop that has been flooding the internet. I would wager a lot of people do, evident when a common insult is to say a piece of art looks AI generated.

This reaction hasn't happened for AI programming. People just assume it will work because AI is made by programmers.
That's completely fair.

There are companies that are making bucks selling satellite photos of russian army storage(s) so that it is possible to calculate how much of remaining tanks are in storage. While a single photo of a single storage wouldn't matter on its own, having a clear picture of every russian storage can give you an idea of how many tanks were refurbished and remain in stock

Perhaps I'm an outlier. I expect to pay for my personal gaming experience. But if there's some necessary part of gameplay I don't like, that's negative experience that makes the game worse for me, reducing the value of the game to me. To skip that gameplay seems like something that shouldn't cost me anything, or even get me a discount because I'm not getting some of the experience I paid for. Like say if a side dish is so bad I send it back at a restaurant. I neither expect to pay for that nor a premium for someone else to eat it for me!

So I'm not willing to pay a premium for such a thing. I don't see why the game with the bad part missing should be worth more than with the bad part present. Rather, the inverse! I'll more likely skip the game entirely and find a different one that doesn't have such mandatory grinding.

As I say maybe that's an outlying opinion since making money from this kind of thing apparently works. It it helps, I'm in the adult with family demographic and my time (rather than game purchase levels of money) is what is at a premium.

Could you define "all"?

From your comment it seems all stories about ASML having a quasi-monopoly in lithography machines are nonsense. So it's the US holding the chip cards? That makes the China vs Taiwan debacle even less important to the US, since there's nothing to worry about.
Turley is a gaslighter and should not receive any attention.
Read again what Putin's stated aims are. Hoping for a peace deal with a totalitarian, expansive state does not work. It didn't work when it was "just Crimea", it won't work when it's "just some towns they took by force".

It's utterly naive, given all his history, to think Putin will just acquiesce.

Even if your geopolitical assumptions are correct, Trump and Vance's behaviour yesterday - humiliating a war leader in front of the worlds media, using the rhetoric and tropes of the invaders he is facing was unbelievably disgusting.
It sadly does nothing to solve the real geopolitical issue that the US have in this century, namely the rise of China.
Trump was the prototypical 1980s rich person. E.g. see Roger Ebert's Wall Street review:

What a wonderful blend of fields for your PhD.

I tend to agree with you, but I would be cautious in stating that an understanding of music is required for AGI. Plenty of humans are tone deaf and can’t understand music, yet are cognitively capable.

I’d love to hear about your research. I have my PhD in neuroscience and a undergrad degree in piano performance. Not quite the same path as you, but similar!
You right. This practice lives on in dubstep and soundsystem music in general.

TypeScript is much better than JavaScript. I think it's a great language.

My main issues with it, in order of priority, are:

1. The types aren't checked. In theory this wouldn't matter if the type system was sound and package type declarations were always correct, but neither of those are true in practice (even with strict mode and only popular packages), and I see runtime mismatches often enough that it bothers me.

2. I prefer nominal typing, and JavaScript's classes are verbose and usually considered not idiomatic.

3. Not a language issue, but npm packages tend to be worse quality (buggier, less documented, less intuitive) than other ecosystems (cargo and maven).

I prefer strongly-typed languages like Rust or Java. But I'd always develop a project targeting the web in TypeScript and be happy with it.

Another potential alternative is that these things progress quickly and soon can code and review code at or above the level of most SWEs. I suspect that's driving a non-zero amount of anxiety in the comments.

I'm not an SWE, and frankly, they're above my level today. Saying "plz don't code if you can't understand it" applies to my code today without AI assistance. Are you suggesting I shouldn't release anything because others might need to read it? The way to prevent this within an organization is smart hiring practices, not restrictions on tool use.
