No, it takes way more than that. That's basically what running a Pihole does, which barely blocks anything these days.

Good ad blocking requires you to be able to look at decrypted HTTPS traffic and remove content from the DOM, including stuff added after the fact by Javascript. That's why uBlock Origin works better than Adguard (which is a https MITM ad blocker) and why Adguard works better than Pihole (which doesn't usually MITM HTTPS).

Simple hosts blocking used to work OK two decades ago but these days so many ads are served directly from the same servers within the same HTTPS connection that it's just not enough.
It stands for 8 smart people that run it and 200 clueless children that have no idea how the world works. Maybe it's the other way around, I can't tell.
> Firstly, the assumption that NASA is apolitical should be questioned. This might just be my ignorance, but I still haven't seen any good reasoning for why NASA would delay the return flight. As others have noted the capsule was already there, but NASA seemingly just decided to randomly keep them up there months longer than necessary? Why?

Why is anybody actually thinking that? The return of Crew-9 is the culmination of a well orchestrated series of missions to cope with the outage of Starliner Calypso. It may have slipped the attention of some, but space missions are not like buying groceries. These assumptions are basically just betraying a lack of understanding how space travel works. Musk, OTOH, should know this.

Furthermore, there is the long-standing policy of having at least one working capsule at the ISS for emergencies. A lifeboat or escape pod, so to speak. Plus, there are only two docking slots for large-enough capsules, such as Starliners or Dragons, on the ISS. So you have to schedule your trips even more than for normal space missions. You have to coordinate and swap crafts in sequence and deal with the launch windows schedule -- which is exactly what has happened. Again, Musk should know this.

> I think there's an argument to be made that if the Biden administration was friendlier with Elon and didn't go out of their way to alienate him that this return flight would have happened earlier too. Perhaps because Elon could have spoke to Biden directly as he did with Trump, or because NASA would have changed their calculation on the PR of the return.

Why would the CEO of a contractor of a US government agency need to speak to the president of the USA to do the job they were hired for? The agency has more capable people to decide on such matters than any White House staff.

It's all a huge charade of grandstanding and chest-thumping. Disappointing.
> Also what’s the watchband compatibility? Will this work with the original pebble bands or with standard watch bands or something new and proprietary?

It says it works with standard 22mm watchbands, so it seems like you can just put on any 3rd party band you like.
> How do you stay motivated on your solo projects?

By having many of them going on at once. Diversify the portfolio.

If I only have exactly one project to work on and it starts to go poorly, my mood suffers severely.

If I have several projects to work on and one goes poorly, I can toggle to a different one and not worry about it. Inevitably, I'll swap back to what I was working on after a period of time. This also keeps me out of other subpar areas, like mindless doomscrolling or gaming for hours on end.
Strongly agree. Especially with the name, highly suspicious, feels like an opportunity to get a free laptop mimicking as a person who needs real help.
It's probably a threat to your mind & sanity more than security. This is very obviously aimed at streaming more ads into your head. I don't doubt google's security/engineering chops but if google could prop up your eyelids with toothpicks to ensure continuous ad watching they would...
As a non-American this is a horrendous idea. People need to accept that assholes and misinformation exist. And you will encounter it in real life and on the internet. You can't expect a nanny state to protect you from every slight discomfort you experience. Learn how to deal with it.

Study challenges belief people favor human-produced works over AI-generated ones
I have a grandma and grandpa and I deal with their devices directly. I’m want an iPhone that lets me do more and I can set up (with their consent, of course) a more limited experience for them. Their phones currently have purchases turned off, for example, because they have a set of apps they need and there’s no reason for new apps, because even with the App Store not all of them are actually good enough to have on their phones.
On client side, there is no explicit way to know which transaction is broken when there are multiple transactions undergoing. If your use case relies on transactional assumption, it may fail at some point.
USB-C is a car crash of an implementation landscape, just because the interface is a single design, doesn't mean that you can rely on it. It is better than it was, but we've had several instances of issues with the USB-C, including my own personal favourite of my Nintendo Switch charging socket burning out because I used a non-Nintendo charger - an Apple one, completely compliant and as good as they get - to charge the Switch. A £50 repair.

Some USB-C cables aren't data compliant. They just send power. There's all kinds of foibles with USB-C that have taken years to work on and this just isn't clear to tech folks, let alone non-tech consumers.

The Lightning port has never done this to me, the device just charges and that's it. It transfers files and that's it.
Thanks, I didn't know about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilligan%27s_Planet or I didn't remember it. Maybe it never made it into my country.
Show HN: Vibe Coding Best Practices for our dev team
-- Backwards Build: Start with business slides → PRD → documentation → tests → THEN code. Generate code only after product makes human sense.
-- Leverage MCP: Use Model Context Protocol to connect your AI with codebases, documentation and external tools in a standardized way.
-- Standardize Aggressively: Minimal invention, heavy use of TypeScript(no to JSX)/strong typing in Python. Follow existing conventions.
-- Strict Linting: Ruff for Python, ESLint for frontend - no exceptions.
-- Verification Gates: Require AI to produce tests, docs, and diagrams with mandatory human review before proceeding.
-- Size Limits: 50 lines max per function, 200 lines max per file.
-- All in sync: Keep the entire chain -- docs, slides, code, tests -- in sync on a daily basis
-- Collaborative Review: Human-AI joint code reviews with clear quality criteria.

What other AI coding practices have improved your team's output?
should have used the term "relative", US to Canada
shipping has incresed in cost by 4X in the last 5 years, for smaller orders. Intra Canadian shipping
has kept pace, still not cheap ,like what we see south of the border for lower 48 shipping,but much more attractive now.
Also what was reliable 3 day shipping from the US, is now 7 days+, @ 4X price.
Last bits of hyway from Ontario, east to Nova Scotia are bieng twinned, with development happening in the most (historicaly) unlikely of places, as in there are quite litteraly, citys popping up in what is endless scrub spruce forest.
So this is creating a natural east/west shipping corridor and market inside Canada, with economys of scale.
If they know what is good for them, they will keep it for that reason at least. Because trying to read and write long form discussions in the "new" interface is a joke.
Disagree. Most of my web browsing is done on mobile (iPhone).

iOS has many different ad blockers, including system wide ones that are VPN based. I use a good one that even blocks Youtube ads.
Plenty of people are asking for that, actually. I suggest you look through the App Store for developer tools and report back what you find.

Vibe coding law: Y = 5x – 2
From my experience leading an engineering org that puts vibe coding in practice.

X is your developers and Y is the outcome with vibe coding.

-- 1 excellent developer with AI = powerful trinity.

-- 10 excellent devs in tandem with AI = an armada.

-- 10 mediocre devs with AI = chaos of 50 mediocres

-- 0 devs with AI = -2 (the 2 you need to hire now to rescue you from the attack, get your credit card back, close your servers and clean up the mess)

Amplify the signal and not the noise.
> All other engineering disciplines are ultimately limited to building things in (at most) 3 euclidean dimensions. There is only so much junk you can hide in a finite volume of space.

I think that you have a basic grasp of the word "dimension" but use the word "euclidean" without understanding what it means just because you heard it in conjunction with "dimension".

If you think that e.g. building a bridge is a three dimensional problem in the sense that you are actually talking about (which has nothing to do with euclidean geometry), you lack the basic understanding of what you are talking about from which you could draw any conclusion like that with any sense of intellectual honesty.
Do you think using a watch bridge would be easier?
Quite common nowadays to read this type of comment from cowards behind a throwaway. I blame the general discourse in American society, flamed by populists out for a power grab punching down. It's just sad to watch from the outside.
10-20% nice! How did you measure it?
> As usual, another great write up by Berthub.

It would be great if it would also include links to all those studies showing how $random_company saved tens of millions by weaning themselves of these "cloud services" and rolling their own.

And a mention of the risks of lock in...
I suspect many apps would benefit from splitting the commit completion notification into two pieces:

- commit logically committed (meaning it won't fail to complete for any reason other than power or hardware failure, and in particular no trigger or other such logic can keep it from completing)

- commit completed durably (i.e., all associated writes have reached stable, persistent storage, and future reads will see them even if there is a power failure in between)

A UI could indicate that a transaction is logically complete and have a second way to indicate that the transaction is durably committed.
See my edit, Mars colonization isn't happening. And if NASA were serious about developing the future of human spaceflight they would be developing spin Hans, not trying to build the same bullshit over and over again.

Every single one I saw wore a hijab. The cleaning staff earned less than the customer facing shop and restaurant staff (who were almost all hijabless).

Istanbul Airport is right next to what used to be Istanbul's Dharavi (a megaslum). Most residents were migrants and ethnic minorities. This was also the neighborhood that Erdogan grew up in, and helped propel him to power.

A major reason he kept winning elections was because he enacted a massive urban housing program that helped convert those slums into normal neighborhoods with public services (and also helped siphon money to AKP aligned construction conglomerates).

And it's people from those backgrounds that were doing the menial work at IST (eg. cleaning staff)
>If we look at the structural underpinnings of a stable Federal Republic, like the United States

lol, lmao.
> The comment that confused you is just trying to speak a word of caution about applying the article's recipe in a simplistic way. In the real world, optimisation can be quite an involved job.

I think that's what confused and irritated me. There's a lot of value and learning in the gist - I've used JQ in my previous jobs regularly, this is the real world, and valuable to many. But the top comment (at the time I responded) is largely rhetorically trashing the submission based on purely the title.

I get that the gist won't make _everything_ faster: but I struggle to believe that any HN reader would genuinely believe that's either true, or a point that the author is trying to make. The literal first sentence of the submission clarifies the discussion is purely about JQ.

Anyone can read a submission, ignore any legitimate value it in, pick some cases the submission wasn't trying to address, and then use those cases to rhetorically talk it down. I'm struggling to understand why/how that's bubbling to the top in a place of intellectual curiosity like HN.

Edit: I should practice what I preach. Conversation and feedback which is purely cautionary or negative isn't a world that anyone really wants! Thanks for the response, I really appreciated it:) It was helpful in confirming my understanding that this submission does genuinely improve JQ on Ubuntu. Cautionary is often beneficial and necessary, and I think the original comment I responded to could make a better world with a single sentence confirming that this gist is actually valuable in the context it defines.
I'm not sure what you mean because given the context, that phrase you said does not make sense.

Can you say it a different way? Specificity would help.
Yeah but that's another topic (maybe more important, but less immediate and actionnable). yesterday my relative just downloaded a malware. That's something we can do something about!
"How to read a book" sounds like a ridiculous premise for a book, but I can't recommend it highly enough. It's one of the best introductions to academic skills I've ever read. I assimilated much of Adler's advice at university through trial-and-error, but seeing the reading process analysed and systematised into an algorithm was genuinely enlightening.

Worth noting that Adler was also the editor of Encyclopdia Britannica's Great Books Series:

How to onboard successfully as a software engineer
If you don't hire (or are hired) internationally (across jurisdictions), then it makes sense if you have never heard of them.
Psst…there’s JavaScript running on your phone right now.
It's been many years since I had my last driver issue. I find that impressive considering how many different platforms Linux has to run on.

Have you noticed how bad the Docker experience is on Macs though, after how many years?
It is interesting that this relates exactly to everything that goes as "cloud native" these days, without really mentioning the fact that due to Kubernetes and the Cloud Native Computing Foundation's huge landscape of open source software that targets specifically Kubernetes, you can have a comprehensive platform on "any" infrastructure. On-premise, private cloud, public clouds that are in the EC2/S3 era of services (VMs and object storage)... it doesn't matter. You can literally run the same database that powers YouTube, it's freely available and operates great on Kubernetes.

Yes, the problem is that someone has to manage it all (full disclosure: I work for Elastisys, a company exactly in the space of fully-managed application platforms on top of the infra operated by others).

But the fact that smaller cloud providers haven't had the money to invest in their capabilities to offer managed services to the same degree as the enormous hyperscalers isn't exactly impossible to overcome. In fact, it's never been more possible. Other comments here show that very well, too. And that the particular choice of identity management services is perhaps not the best for showing where the hyperscaler options shine.
This is extremely fun. Great idea! How did you do the multiplayer comms?
Advocating for the entire browser landscape to be taken over by Chromium is definitely not a middle ground. It's letting the world's largest ad company be the dictator of the web.
Poor security implementations harm security, because they train users to click through them. It’s certainly an “attempt” but I wouldn’t say it improves security.
I am so with you.
Supercool bro'! Show these luddites! See non-believers this one works at a huge company solving hard tasks. So again please teach us! How did you get the 10-20%? How did you measure it? What methodology? Control group? Is it 10-20 more projetcs done? Or profits!!??? I bet its profits!! This guy is living the dream!!!
Was this supposed to defend your position that dark pools are illegal? Full stop it does not and will never meet the definition of insider trading. Your free to believe whatever you want but it does not meet the definition and your posts offer little more than strange steps into loaded words like consent.
See myself using this for sure!
Could you talk a little bit more about what changes you made on the back into accommodate that? That sounds interesting.
Sad realization: blocking ad blockers is copy protection from a decade or two ago and blocking ads is nowadays basically cracking websites and browsers.
Nah he's not. Stuff has been pretty stable, impressively so. Especially if you keep to certain hardware options which Apple users also accept.
Thank you for the feedback! I will do this in the future :)
I believe the point being made was that “the few” are the people making what’s next.
Get paid in crypto and settle in some out-of-law jurisdiction?
Just like your comment was not really about providing anything new, but insulting people who use technology?
Well I would say a lot of the down voting you're observing in certain responses, most likely isn't about the topic or the which ever members down voting being invested with a strong opinion. In fact I'd guess they are not at all passionate to give a rats, they simply don't care for what they might see as rude behaviour or breaking rules or etcetera ... as an example, say this place HN, was like a library that has a big large notice at the door of one of its reading rooms asking patrons to observe a number of rules. The top of list is no ideological discussions, followed by keep talking to a minimum and if so, quietly - along with a number of other minor rules. For the most part quiet conversions in the room are tolerated even if they do get a little loud at times. However when area's conservation gets much louder others around due to previous arguments, some patrons mostly perceive the louder conservation to be something of the nature of a passionate disagreement of an ideological nature and may seek to inform staff -- while they're unsure exactly of nature of the conservation, they are fairly sure the noise level is not befitting of a quiet area -- they though might miss that one of the people they are complaining about was just a bit deaf and was merely briefly passionately explaining a really good fishing trip to an old acquaintance, it makes little difference to the outcome. The offenders are asked to leave by the staff ... obviously it might feel like some people just didn't care for fishing, but common sense should dictate that it probably wasn't about the fishing trip.

I though had earlier made the point there also surely are some sub groups with vested interests and the nature of how they vote and why is not exactly known -- trying to make sense of the way votes go at time is too hard, sometimes it is as it is. Imagine the above example, their initial conclusion it was about the fish would be right if in fact a large group of vegans or animal cruelty had taken offence that one of the fish landed they felt was mishandled.
They haven't ripped the whole extension framework (yet...) they just marked 1 extension as "malicious" which causes Chrome to automatically disable it. Presumably this is based on proprietary logic that ties Chrome to the Chrome Web/Add-on Store
The article is about blocking ads that contain malware (which are surprisingly common). Preventing tracking is a whole different ballgame that isn't covered by the article
> what we have right now are LLMs, not AI

LLMs are a subset of AI. The field has been called AI for over 70 years.

Let's try to at least keep the terminology correct on HN.
In aggregate, there aren't that many companies.

Cloud costs are higher than DC costs, but you can also hire fewer engineers (who are cost centers if you aren't a tech company) and you don't have to deal with asset depreciation (impacting Capex) so your overall infra spend becomes much less.

Looking at technology in isolation is one of those pitfalls I've mentioned in my comment - you need to understand the technical AND business usecase.

Sadly, most Europeans who understand both are inevitably poached to become Sales or Solutions Architects for American or Israeli vendors.
Whew, there’s much more in the article than what the title suggests, if you’re thinking “meh, wasps are known to be parastic”.
AdGuard does a good job if you're happy sending them your DNS queries. You'll still want to adopt a layered approach however, and that will involve a browser based ad blocker.

> For example, if 'you' agreed to develop a piece of software 'exclusively' for the customer, and then use AI to create substantial parts of the software, then neither it was 'you' who developed that, nor was it 'exclusively' for the customer

On the other hand, if ‘you’ had taken no action at all, then there would be no software at all. The actions by ‘you’ are necessary for the software to exist, so the argument must be about whether those actions count as development or not. Is the definition of development written down anywhere?
Does rank and file "work" for regular employees who don't have company shares? I.e. does it help people facilitate a union?

You say unions are dead but this feels closest to a union (union platform) anyway. If the employees own the company that is probably a partnership.
You do understand that “make it work by default” and “customization” are not exclusive, right? you can definitively pick defaults and allow customization for those who want it.
Ok, but the proxy could insert JS code into the html page which does what uBlock Origin does, couldn't it?

This would give the same flexibility without the need for a browser plugin.
This exactly. The big clouds do solve some real problems... but they also try to sell you everything as a service and lock you in.
