I have been working on literally this exact project for the past 6 months, down to the nomenclature used. Running into this on HN is… strange.

I wouldn't say complicated, and I agree with you that the proof is in the pudding. I looked at the gameplay and if it was something akin to.. let's say "minecraft before minecraft existed", I'd be amazed and see the

(Asking sincerely in good faith - I read this note along with skimming a few of the linked ones, and I'm familiar with gastown) Can someone explain the value calculation to me? This seems like someone has truly let AI VASTLY expand the

This is a perfect use case for AI, no?

Thank you. Thank you.

I agree. Take what ya can, give nothing back!

I just took a look a both (thanks for the pointer to seastar! cool project). I'd say "sort of but not exactly". It seems like two approaches to solving the same problem. Silk seems like mostly a scheduler that uses C++'s

“No way to prevent this” says only package manager where this regularly happens.

Well, I too, don't have anything against a company selling a "good but not open printer", and I don't care if my fridge is open. However, I hope you see that the behavior reported by Jeff here is just bad . They are eit

I think this might be rage bait.

Friendly reminder to take a look at our posting guidelines, found at the bottom of the page. What specifically did you find dumb about this?

I had one of these. My account ended up eventually being reinstated. No reason was given for the initial account freeze or reinstating. One thing I did - in response to them saying I could no longer do business, I told them that they also c

Yeah, this is the single biggest reason I avoid go - I just don't want to clutter my "happy path" logic. It makes things harder to reason about. "Errors are values", sure. Numbers are values and Lists are values. I

Is there really such a large crossover that climbing.com makes it to hacker news? Sure, this is interesting, but I love that this site is focused on tech.

That’s an excellent point

I think a simple redacted name would address that concern

I'm also hoping for something like this! Bonus points if it had a "little snitch" type of operation where I could manually approve a matrix of (device x domain)

I've just hopped on. I agree completely and I've had the distinct pleasure of avoiding the past year's worth of churn as the tooling & best practices were changing frequently.

I cannot believe this is unknown to so many people that it's news

Your counter analogy is also a bit cherry picked. Guns and vehicles used for committing crimes are seized, but the vehicle makers and gunsmiths are not ordered to go substantially out of their way to prevent criminals from using them, altho

That’s a good question. A cryptographic hash must not leak any information other than “yes” or “no”. A checksum-type hash might have an additional property where data that only has a single bit flipped might hash to something close to the o

I think this is a really good point. A logging system could theoretically toggle "text" mode on and off, giving human readable logs in development and small scale deployments. In fact, I'm going to build a toy one in python!

We used a deterministic aperture load balancing to solve this at twitter - https://blog.x.com/engineering/en_us/topics/infrastructure/2... . Cool to see some other approaches, although I believe they&#x27

Oh wow, I actually had no idea that was the case. That definitely throws a wrinkle into things

Well, one thought about your pricing model - you’re thinking that it might need work in the future, but you’re charging each month without delivering any additional value to customers. How about charging additional money for each new major

Yeah, it's strange to me that's a CVE. That seems like "working as intended" if I, the owner of the machine, want to load other libraries, why shouldn't it respect that?

A safer internet does not necessarily follow from having this system in place. I'd like to point out that this is an opinion that you have which I and others disagree with. I also don't believe that content creators have any kind

Honestly, I think it will be used for the reverse (and unfortunately more evil) - Google wants to be able to control YOUR machine's compute environment for things like playing back of DRM'd content. They want a chain of trust that
