No, I'm saying you're derailing the conversation with your "empricism", congratulations. That's what you people do around here. If there are simply a few examples of the "danger" you people claim, then why is it such a problem? Answer is that there is no problem, it's a made up issue that is being used to divide us politically, like abortion or gay rights or weed. It doesn't matter if "the democrats are moving left", you're either for the rights of people to exist as they wish, or you are for limitations on how people can express themselves in this way. I'm finished with this line of conversation, you have wasted enough of my time.

> So then both of your replies are null because you have no idea?

I don't see how you could surmise that a list of 10 major differences is the same as "no idea." You seem personally or emotionally invested in the web interface being on par with the main app. I don't know why, and it's weird. Either you have experience with this interface and you were looking for a fight, or you have no experience and you're asking for third party audits which you know you'll never get, so you're looking for a fight. I'm not biting. Either way, I hope others are informed by my comment.
Minecraft was a clone of another block game.

On interactivity and emergent gameplay, it predated MC for decades.

"Messages that originate outside of the program" is distributed computing, regardless of it is on the same computing node, or across the network.

Multiple processes are involved, giving meaning to a byte stream.

I am quite sure Interface Builder has enough Objective-C type definitions, as does Portable Distributed Objects.

Additionally, those mapping definitions on the UI are nothing else than a type system powering the whole experience.
Technically it means "naturally" which (to me, natural UK English) reads to me as slightly less sarcastic than "of course", especially if you get the "of COURSE" intonation (implies "the little shits" at the end of the sentence to me, if you see what I mean. "Naturally, the BBC has the news" - good job, fellas! "Of COURSE, the BBC has the news" - the little shits, running around wasting our money on this, probably stealing from rubbish bins.)

I may have put too much thought into this.
Yeah, they didn't even manage to get the circle constant right.
Can anyone talk some confidence about the project altogether? When it was first on HN I skimmed through the repo's and just wasn't convinced this was a very good project to begin with.

How secure is the actual browser for example?
Look at the generated assembly, only printf remains, the assignments preceding it were removed, thus execution reaches printf and fails elsewhere, not at the point shown on the article.
You probably thought of this already but we mostly do load shifting. If you have moderate PV output (like with balcony solar) that can probably use up most of your production.

Consider running the dishwasher (if you have one) or washing machine / dryer (if you don't dry that in the sun directly) during the day.

Granted, we work from home _a lot_ and also have an EV so it's a lot easier to do load shifting for us, but just shifting the dishwasher and washing machine to 'sunlight hours' already made a pretty decent difference.
That doesn’t work either. The market changes and eventually when they need to lay you off then what? Those slow growth companies either die or get taken over by private equity or sold off.

I would much rather make $300K for two or three years, live like I’m making $150K, bank the rest, get laid off with a fat severance and then look for another job after a period of unemployment than make $150K, stay at a job too long and then stil get laid off after a few years.

I’m 50, started really job hopping in 2008 and have 8 jobs since then after stating at my second “stable” job for 9 years getting 3% raises and seeing my bonuses decrease.

When I was looking for a job not by choice last year and the year before it took three weeks.

It was much easier finding a job based on my experience in BigTech than it would have been if my experience had just been a regular old enterprise CRUD developer like I was before 2020.

Infiniminer was released in early 2009 and pretty much immediately inspired Minecraft (first public alpha mid 2009.)

Is it worth adding (2024) to the title? That "backdoor" (remote debugging) was an issue dated 24 aug 2024. https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/pull/927

Current title made it seem like it's an active issue, when clicking on the link it leads to a discussion forum about "Telemtry and privacy issues", so even the title and the link does not match.
There's another directly related issue here where Fallout 3 strayed. The original Fallouts have content that is not really constrained in any way, to put it mildly, and it captures the feel of a sort of dystopic hellhole really well. The gimmicky 50s happy-go-lucky style of the things like the music, iconography, etc plays a dramatically stark contrast to the rest of the world.

In the Fallout remakes, that happy go lucky style basically is the world. I mean it's still supposed to be a sort of post apocalyptic dystopia and you can do 'evil' things like blow up a town but even then it all still feels like an episode of Leave it to Beaver (further emphasized by the style that's no longer especially ironic), probably in equal parts in order to ensure mass [commercial] appeal and to abide modern ideals of political correctness in a scenario where that would be the last thing in play.

So the originals just completely drag you into their world, whereas Fallout 3 never really makes any effort at suspending your disbelief. The world is designed to be pretty silly and unbelievable, but has fun enough gameplay that it ultimately doesn't matter that much. I'm extremely curious how a more 'narratively faithful' remake, but with otherwise identical modern gameplay/graphics/etc, would feel.
> These are not things that would affect you from being a good manager. That's just part of the job of being a manager. It's a different kind of problem, it's not necessarily heavier problems.

The crux of the issue is here I think. You, as a manager, a report, anything, have no say as to what anyone feels and how, and how it affects them. That’s purely on them. You may only be there for them.

You may think for yourself, that these are not heavier problems than other ones. Others may think differently, and feel differently. That’s not more, or less professional (whatever that word has ever meant).

Being a good manager is how one does manage their team, in the end and what the outcomes are. Not how one feels/struggles to do it internally or within the confidentiality that you have with your own manager. Manager to whom you should be able to openly share how you struggle yourself internally. Which requires trust.

If, ever, your manager did retort « you’re showing you’re not fit for this » or came to moral judgement for just expressing your thoughts to them, this becomes a Whiplash situation you better get out of, because that manager will not have your back, ever.

(of course, if the personal issues of the manager/report turn into problematic actions or omissions, that’s another topic)

This is entirely correct. I've disagreed with you a bunch over the last few months but this is unfortunately true.

Honestly though, the only thing that'll stop the current US approach to fiscal policy is the bond markets.

That's only because you insist on explicitly mentioning the last element, which you can only do when the sequence is finite and non-empty (more generally, when it is indexed by a successor ordinal). So your choice of notation is not only inelegant, it cannot even express all possible sequences.
The point isn't "infiniminer predated MC by decades", but rather "immersive simulations and emergent gameplay predated MC by decades", as evidenced by the examples OP gave.

A wood powder machine is an industrial device designed to grind wood waste—such as sawdust, wood chips, and branches—into fine, uniform powder. Using high-speed rotating blades or hammers, it efficiently processes large volumes of wood materials, making it a valuable tool for industries like biomass energy, manufacturing, and agriculture.

The wood powder produced has a wide range of applications. It can be used as biomass fuel for renewable energy, animal bedding for livestock, or raw material for composite products like particleboard and MDF. Additionally, it’s used in eco-friendly fertilizers and even certain cosmetic products.

This machine is not only efficient but also environmentally friendly, as it helps reduce wood waste and promotes sustainability. Whether you’re managing wood waste or looking to create new products, a wood powder machine is a practical and versatile solution.
> One dev allowed remote debugging which introduced a backdoor and what's really bad about it is there was no prompt that the remote debugger had been started. He said he thought it would make debugging easier

This is just the start of the madness. Mistakes like this are typically from so-called JS/TS developers who ‘think’ they can maintain core browser technology.

We’ll certainly get more of these typical amateur mistakes in the AI age, and will certainly get this from vibe-coders who completely have no idea what they are doing.

This is a different league in engineering and we’re starting to realize that perhaps it is a bad idea to hire devs who have little experience in building production-grade browsers because they are too used to tolerating the clumsiness of the JS/TS ecosystem.
Show HN: I made a VS Code snippets extension to store code easier
The vibes are so strong here that this post didn't even talk about the coding, just the overall hype.

From my perspective it sounds like anyone else's dev process except AI was used as a faster way to deliver teh copypastas. Most of the heavy lifting here was still seemingly done by a reasonably experienced dev? I guess if the author didn't leave some doubt then there'd be no wind left for AI hype.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be available yet. Scallop and Lobster are both from UPenn, and the Scallop website says "We are still in the process of open sourcing Scallop," so I assume it's a matter of time.

Not sure, I’m a bit too young but the standards seem to have been much higher back in those days. Reagan’s [public] behavior would still be pretty tame nowadays.

Of course broadcasting your deranged random thoughts to the whole world in the middle of the night wasn’t really and option and listening to Nixon’s tapes the way they behaved in private was well.. quite something. I don’t even believe that Nixon was especially egregious either he just decided to record everything anyone said in his office due to whatever reasons.

And then you had career politicians like Johnson who might have been even more vulgar than Trump..

+++++ on this. There are mods for Skyrim that remove the markers and other indicators while also rewriting any quest description that are insufficiently descriptive, and it just completely changes the game. Even more so if you remove fast travel. There are also mods that remove the scaling yet maintain a balanced world. Basically, Bethesda games need to be modded, and there are some absurdly high quality modding teams out there.

But it's also weird because all of these mods sound like you're just beating yourself in the head, and perhaps we are. I remember a game development class I took, and one of the first things we did was define what game was. I thought it was quite stupid at the time, but in hindsight maybe the guy was onto something: "A series of unnecessary obstacles."

And so it always sounds great to remove obstacles, but the more obstacles you remove, the less of a game you have left at the end of it all. For those of us who grew up in the Nintendo era I think none of us will ever forget Battle Toads, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Punch Out, and other such games where the entire games are basically about beating yourself in the head repeatedly, yet at the end of it all - it felt great!
Oh no no, this airport would be the last! Promise. We just need one more.
Its just become harder to stick European heads in the sand.

Is government agencies to. In the UK the NHS uses AWS, courts use Teams.... IT security is just ignored - its only recently that it occurred to the govt to remove Chinese cameras from sensitive sites.

European militaries are heavily dependent on the US too and have a lot of equipment that is reliant on US supplies or can only be used in line with agreements with the US.
I remember working on an ETL pipeline in Airflow years ago and thinking: "we're defining and programming an abstract computer".

I guess with general computers everything we do is basically defining nested specific computers. That's, I think, the insight behind SmallTalk and the original concept of objects it used: the objects were supposed to represent computers and the message passing was an abstract network layer.

> Freeing France from the drug trafficking trap

This reason just like all the other reasons that have been used to try and strip away every shred of privacy that we have (think of the children, fight terrorism and so on) is complete bogus.

My mom was working as an admin person in a police station in France back in the 90s and from the many conversations she had with the cops, knowledge was never the problem. They already knew back then where all the drug hot spots were but truth be told there has been a lack of enforcement of the law.

Why you ask?

Simple, in most of the suburbs were drug trafficking happens, you have high unemployment, people low education and very few prospects for their future, so it has been said that the government has avoided coming down too hard on drug traffickers because they don't want these areas to erupt in chaos and start rioting.

In a way, the French government has used the drug money to indirectly buy social peace.

If the French government wanted to fight crime and get rid of these drug traffickers, it could simply legalize pot like in Germany and Canada and kill the black market.

Instead, it chooses once again to go after the sellers and the buyers. It makes zero sense because unless you are going to enforce the law by punishing the traffickers with the death penalty like in some countries, we know from all the data of the last 30 years that you cannot stop the flow of drugs.

We can't even keep drugs and cell phones out of jails/prisons, how is it that we think we can keep them out of entire countries?

The solution is simple, you legalize it and tax it and make it hard for kids to get it just like we do today with alcohol and tobacco.

That is the only sensible approach. What do you think the drug cartels fear most? The cops or legalization?
It is anecdotal but during Covid and the crypto boom I was chatting with someone living in France. He told me he was happy to have a few crypto since he has been using one of those exchange to buy illegal drugs.

Basically he told me that over there people just go on websites to order drugs, pay with crypto from a centralized crypto exchange and then have it delivered in they physical mailbox. And this is not the Silk road thing this is local business, shipped by the national postal service from an address in France from France.

I also read an article once saying drug stores on the internet and social media are very common over there.

My conclusion was that, selling most drugs had become de facto decriminalized in France.

Strangely France is also by far the country where I have been systematically harassed by the police and customs (at the frontier and within the country). They are very aggressive and it is to the point that I now avoid that country as much as possible.
They have alienated their allies for sure and this time it seems different and it seems that it will have a lasting impact. Including for tech companies.

I'm surprised this isn't getting more attention here. This may well be the future.

These large hybrid transformer-SSM models are faster and more efficient but it seems not really by a huge amount: a big deal but Moore's law progression level not breakthrough level.

I gave it a tricky maths problem (from AIMO) and it spat out about 25k thinking tokens (my estimate), going in circles, which took many minutes, far longer than a better model, until finally figuring out the right answer. Not sure whether that's evidence that it is or isn't weaker when looking beyond recent context.
>To me it just proves that they don't understand the very basic of how encryption works.

Chats being encrypted between multiple participants is a normal use case of cryptography. Giving limited government access can be part of a cryptoscheme and doesn't mean that encryption has to be disabled.

Just to note I'm not making excuses for the issue in the article.

It's neat, but I don't think it does the same as Zig's comptime. For one it doesn't have Zig's dynamic behavior, nor more practically compile time reflection.

Rust can't have Zig's comptime dynamic properties, same way Zig will never have Rust's compile time guarantees*.

You can't simultaneously have your dynamic cake and eat it at compile time.

* Theoretically you can have it, but it would require changing language to such extent it's not recognizable.

Show HN: Ever wanted to "chat" with your YouTube videos and the comments?
I watch a lot of long-form youtube content—lectures, tutorials, industry talks—but I always found it frustrating to scrub through videos looking for key moments. so I built supplychat, a chrome extension that integrates directly with youtube to:

- summarize videos in real time
- search transcripts for key moments
- analyze comment sections for insights
- answer questions based on the video content

It uses google’s gemini and the youtube data api, but instead of a subscription model, users bring their own api keys to avoid recurring fees.

Would love to hear your feedback. What’s missing? What would make this more useful?
There is no consensus on that, and it's not just about teachers. It depends on the mathematical field and tradition. It usually starts at 1 in German, at 0 in French due to the influence of the Bourbakis, and in English I think it's more field-dependent.

The original formulation of Peano started at 1.
