>The American eighteenth-century enlightenment approach is an attempt to make everything tidy: it's based on the rationalist idea that a thing is its definition and nothing more. So private property is private, that means nobody else can use it: case closed.

You may be unaware, but the American legal system allows for property owners to be held civilly responsible for the actions of uninvited individuals, including criminals with intent beyond simple trepass, that harm themselves on said private property, unless the owner has taken many somewhat onerous steps to post No Trespassing signs often with requirements of details on the signs and posted in short intervals.

So why would a property owner want to allow random individuals to cross their land if it may mean someone can sue them for damages because they tripped and broke an arm, etc.?

> The MAGA Gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them

I've heard this before, but where did this originate? Did Jimmy just make it up or was he quoting some source? I heard the same thing but from people I interact with that this guy was crazy right wing nazi and killed Kirk because Kirk wasn't hard-line enough. But then the bullets said "Catch, fascist" which is kind of odd. Like, are fascists calling each other "fascists" as a meme, or was the killer signing his name like "catch, <signed by> fascist".

I'm gonna roll to doubt this. I live in a planned suburb with lots of cul-de-sacs which leads to long car-centric paths without sidewalks to walk through. Most of my neighbors (and myself) are very comfortable with people cutting through or around their yards to bypass this. I've gotten explicit permission to cut through when I'm walking my dog from the neighbors that own the most valuable shortcuts, but I wish there were a custom or law that covered this instead of needing to rely on the kindness of strangers.

Or maybe we could build suburbs with these sorts of walking-paths baked in from the beginning. Mine was laid down in the 70s, so too late for that now...

Don't get me wrong - I love my neighbors, and I find that most people are amenable to reasonable requests, without needing the law to lean on them, but it would be nice to codify this a bit.

> She is doing as well as one can be for how much she loved Jake and how much she misses him.

Again, my point is that that statement is absolutely true and also does not preclude the notion that additional professional help may be warranted.

I went on Prozac earlier this year after a conversation with my doctor that went, roughly: “I think you’ve got anxiety” “well yeah, look at the fucking world!” “…right.” Just because there’s a good reason for what you’re going through doesn’t mean you’re not going through it.

Put another way, if the author had been shot a year ago and was saying things like “most days I’m fine, but some days I literally cannot walk or feel my left arm,” the notion that they should be talking to professionals would not be controversial, even though their symptoms are absolutely utterly explicable given what they’ve been through.

Another way to view the medieval approach to land is that it was tied to the people living on it. You bought political boundaries, and the people on the land were bound to it. In one sense you now "owned" the people as serfs, and as another you now had responsibility towards those people.

It's also worth noting how integral Monasteries were to society and provided many of the essential services (from medicine, education, diplomacy etc down to beer and bread). So the "getting in trouble with the church" was actually a stronger mechanism than you would think as they had a large presence and were prescient to common life.

KDE's Dolphin is an incredible file manager in terms of usability and speed. I held this sentiment 10 years ago, and now recently rediscovering it, my opinion hasn't changed.

I love that KDE is filling a niche that Gnome has left. I love Gnome too and their direction is valid as well, but I think it's UX philosophy has contributed to KDE's popularity.

Thanks to all the KDE devs for their work.

Something I use a lot on xfce4 is the Alt-F11 shortcut (it toggles) that maximises a window over the bottom bar and removes the title bar.

In this way, with LibreOffice or say Inkscape I get the application menus at the top and the applications controls at the bottom of the screen. No hotspots - nothing pops up.

On Fedora's live KDE iso I can use the window control menu to supress the title bar on a maximised window and I can hide the bottom bar but its a faff requiring multiple steps.
Show HN: Vicoa – Code with Claude and Codex Anywhere (Laptop + Mobile + Tablet)
by nicktay | 2025-09-18 16:57:58+00:00
Hey all, Nick here. I am building Vicoa (Vibe Code Anywhere) https://vibecodeanywhere.com, a tool for you to use Claude Code (and Codex) anywhere.

With Vicoa you can:

- Run a regular Claude Code session from terminal

- Pick up the same session on mobile or tablet

- Get push notifications when Claude Code needs your input

- Keep everything in sync across devices

Demo video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBpNzqqLYmg

I built this because I kept hitting the same pain point with Claude Code: you have to sit and babysit it. Often Claude stops mid-flow waiting for input. If I stepped away — even just for coffee — I’d come back later to find progress stalled and needs my input. So I built the Vicoa.

You can install it with a simple command: `pip install vicoa && vicoa`

Download iOS App here: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6751626168

This is an early version. Looking forward to your feedback and comments.

I inverted most of my life, having started 3d gaming with a flight-sim-lile experience on Descent. I painstakingly switched to The Wrong Way on a recommendation from a friend, specifically to be more competitive in quake live. It took at least 2 weeks, but my scores show I'm better, even if marginally. And for games with no user rebinds, I can cope fine now instead of floundering about. It took a while to relearn using a controller this way too.

My initial stance was literally one of comfort, being used to things being that way. Researchers who claim that has nothing to do with it are just plain... wrong. I switched, on purpose, and took significant time to relearn control, mostly out of curiosity. I don't really prefer it this way, I'm just ok at doing it this way now.

I still think macosx has a higher degree of well-thought-out consistency. Just the ability to use readline/emacs keybindings throughout every textfield boosts productivity enormously. Yes, I'm sure you can enable this via kde/qt settings, but I'm fairly certain this conflicts with the PC-like keybindings, and there is no way to shift all qt/kde apps to use super as the primary command modifier throughout the entire environment.

That's just one detail, but it shows a consistent eye towards the user that feels missing from kde. It feels like they aimed for "floss version of windows usability" and stopped there.

The chalk/debug one https://www.aikido.dev/blog/npm-debug-and-chalk-packages-com... I believe socket also found it this way just a bit later.

The dev later said that Charlie notifying him probably shaved off some very important time for the remediation.

So in this case 2 different companies found it using automated tech before anyone else

Something unclear about the explanation: systemd-inhibit is not running `sh & disown`, it's running `sh` and `& disown` applies to the systemd-inhibit command. If you actually daemonized the inner command, systemd-inhibit would release the lock immediately.

Cool trick though! I didn't know about systemd-inhibit.

I don't think we really disagree. We should have better laws preventing landowners from restricting access to public land, and we should have laws explicitly allowing things like corner-crossing. But these are mostly issues in areas of public land that border developed areas. Since the vast majority of public land in this country is freely accessible to everyone via public roads that can't be blocked by private landowners, there's never really been enough political will to do large-scale land access reform like they did in the UK.

Again, over 90% of UK land is private, and large land barons control the vast majority of that. We just don't have a similarly widespread issue with land access in the US.

In cities - where we have a great number of other people around us - we have to accept the noise level which the majority deems tolerable. Most of the noise is from buses and lorries, which we cannot take away unless we want to make life impossible in the cities. But nobody disagrees that excessive noise is intolerable, such as modified motorcycle exhausts, loud parties in a residential building etc.

So I think in this case "just move" is appropriate advice. Or are you going to kick the asses of each and every person who lives in your city until you get your will through?

There's some case for self-interest – propping up another fab etc. – but I do wonder how much of it is USG. (The economic case for Intel integrating Nvidia silicon on-chip doesn't too much sense to me: there's no growth potential in commodity/consumer x86, and maybe they can shove their new integrated Nvidia in front of enterprise buyers, but I'd be a dubious re: ROI.)

> In the rear, it's almost impossible to access the manual release in an emergency. You have to pull out a floor mat and then pop open a panel that requires a metal tool to extract, and then reach blindly into a hole to pull the release. And this process damages the car, so you can't really practice in a non-emergency.

Just so you know, this is improved the latest (2023+) Model 3. There is now an easily removable panel in the door pocket, with a yellow cable to release the latch.[0]

I still hope they improve the mechanism to not require this, but they did at least improve it a bit in the latest model.

It's not that I don't understand what they want to express and how they use the phrase. I'm arguing that it's a poor phrase for the job, when "one of the few" exactly and necessarily implies that, while "one of the few" doesn't necessarily.

In fact it's even more vacuous ("nothingburger") because sometimes it's not even clear which way the person means it; if I say "I'm one of the only people to do a handstand on a Thursday morning", do I imagine that I'm in a large group or a small one?

[Edit: this paragraph added to respond to post below saying I'm not going to win, which was edited out and I couldn't respond to for some reason.] I'm not trying to "win" any more than I would try to tell people that literally isn't a synonym for figuratively; I know that ship has sailed. That doesn't mean I'm not allowed to say it doesn't make sense, and I'm very aware that people get extremely angry about it for some reason, as if it's a personal affront. Not everyone has to buy into the cargo cult of descriptivism (particularly in the face of absurdity), differences of opinion are still allowed :)

The way the rules work is that you can submit as often as you want. Team with the most solved problem wins. The time it took to solve all the problems is the tiebreaker.

But submitting a non-working solution gives you a time penalty (usually 20 mins). Yet this time penalty only applies if in the end, you actually solve the problem. So it never hurts to try.

I remember long ago when FEMA was buying trailers the right wing media folks had a constant fear note they'd play about the government building camps. It was of course absurd, the trailers were for disaster relief efforts, nobody got sent to camps.

Now folks are getting sent to camps, but nothing. Can't even count on the folks who are a bit out there to be consistent enough to sound a right-ish alarm.

You're not wrong, but the same can be said for some militia groups and religious organizations. I think the problem people have is the selective use of this weapon to specifically target certain organizations and not others.

It's hard to justify that antifa is a problem and the people behind January 6th weren't. People were convicted of crimes and then pardoned. As long as we define what constitutes a terrorist organization and it is equally applied to all groups, I think a lot fewer people would have a problem with it. I know I would.

Right now, for the US national interests, our biggest concern is that Intel continues to exist. Intel has been making crappy GPUs for 25 years. They weren’t going to start making great GPUs now.

Besides, who would actually use them if they don’t support CUDA?

Everyone designs better GPUs than Intel - even Apple’s ARM GPUs have been outpacing Intel for a decade even before the M series.

I mean, I have no data for this, but I think it's a combination of two factors:

- Access to mental healthcare here is HEAVILY gate-kept by a combination of it often costing quite a lot of money, generally having longer waits than most healthcare services, heavy variability in availability by location, and insurance coverage runs the gamut between great or utterly absent, sometimes even in the same policy depending on what you need. Self-diagnosis is for many people the only diagnosis they have access to, and even if it's wrong, you can often use whatever diagnosis it is to find coping mechanisms that help you, or substances that will help you self medicate.

- Naming something medically is the only way to get institutions to pay attention to it, which can mean a number of things by itself, from getting appropriate accommodations at work or school, to getting certain kinds of coworkers or authority figures to treat you in a way that's more amenable to your mental state.

And I don't think its wrong to make it part of your identity either. Some definitely take it to a weird, unhealthy place, and also most of those people are teenagers. Teenagers do tons of stupid shit, I did tons of stupid shit. It's just part of growing up. But ultimately... it is part of you that you're going to be dealing with probably forever, so, some amount of identifying with it is probably healthy.

Edit: Also not sure how to read you calling this "oversharing?" Like I guess it could be depending what it is, but I dunno, my wife has BPD and a touch of Autism, she doesn't announce it when we meet someone but it isn't a secret either.

I mean, to be fair, most people’s TVs have shown ads since forever. Granted, those ads were distributed by the broadcaster rather than the TV manufacturers, but the association between TV and ads goes back far enough that it’s just sort of part of the cultural consciousness. I’m not sure that means that people “don’t care about ads”, especially when they are appearing in their homes through channels other than television. It may be that people who normally wouldn’t accept having ads on their devices have a blind spot for TV ads, just because that’s how TV has always been.

Function in what context? I have been diagnosed with ADHD at age seven. I have had many checkups and am currently medicated. I can tell you that I wouldn't need to if I didn't have to work a menial wageslave job. Interestingly I can focus perfectly fine when doing interesting stuff without medication and it has always been this way. What you are saying is that there is some proper definition of disorder, which would sensibly be defined relative to some "normal" human baseline. Tell me you know one "normal" human, why you see this person as "normal" and how it would be useful to use this as a reference for the big spectrum of human personality and mental fitness. I can tell you from experience that I didn't need medication when I wasn't forced to attend 12 useless meetings a week, use inefficient and stupid software and one would just let me get my shit done. I have quite a few friends who have had very similar experiences, and the idea of ADHD is just used to pathologize and medicate someone so he can work and be a "positive contributor" to whoever above them. Add here the necessary disclaimer that my experience is not universal and there may be people gravely suffering from it, etc. I do too, even with medication, but at least I can generate some bucks for management.

It's the nature of resonance and vibration.

If the fan has any recognizable pitch at all, it's because something periodic is happening. If it's loud enough to be annoying, there's probably some resonance going on to amplify it.

For example, maybe the motor spins at 120 Hz, and it's slight asymmetry shakes the chassis of the fan. That shaking will send waves across the body of the fan. Any of those waves whose wavelength is not an integer multiple of the size of the body will bounce around and end up destructively cancelling out. But the wavelengths that are at are close to integer multiples of the resonating frequency of the body will reinforce themselves as the bounce back and forth across the chassis and get amplified.

If you do an image search for "string overtones", you can get a picture of what I mean. Random physical objects aren't all strings, but many of them have at least a little plasticity and rigidity such that they can vibrate and resonate. When they do, the result will be harmonics at the object's fundamental frequency and integer multiples.

Other frequencies occur too. If you strike a bell, for example, that impulse will produce waves at basically all frequencies. It's just that the ones that don't resonate with the bell's fundamental will cancel themselves out and fade out nearly instantly (that's the clanky part of the very beginning of a bell sound). The multiples of the resonance frequency will ring out (the bell-like peal that decays slowly).

> Did I get it right?

I think so.

> 1- Is this solution useful for subscription-based contract too?

If you mean SaaS, then maybe. I emailed Stallman about the ethics of the SaaS case and he said it's a net good.

You might want to think about whether the license actually gives you leverage in that case though. You might find that the corporations are perfectly willing to host a service using your AGPLv3 software. That's within their rights.

You only gain leverage if they want to create a proprietary version of your software.

> 2- Does it make a difference if the product is a app, library or hardware device?

Absolutely. The GPL has very specific wording with regards to linking and distribution which trigger license conditions. You should read the full license for a better understanding.

Hardware is a completely different matter, I won't even pretend to know anything about how licensing works in that case.

Remember, I'm not a lawyer. I'm just a hobbyist free software developer who's also trying his best to understand all this and make the best possible decision.

When I was playing with arduino geiger counter, apart from of course breaking the tube, I struggled with counting the results.

On one hand it's trivial - counts (ticks) per second. However, this (of course!) can be very spiky. I ended up using pretty simple EWMA to smooth the results for user interaction. Anything really works, short decay is fine.

Then the really fun bit, was trying it with more serious radiation source, and guess what.... interrupt per tick, is... really bad! I was easily able to overwhelm the arduino, too many interrupts. Fun project to understand interrupt masking.

It's really simple: under the laws of war you can't attack civilians, you can't wrestle them, you can't 'detain' them-- they're off limits.

In cases of crimes they can still be prosecuted, but you can't move them out their country. The crimes have to be in the country in question and under the laws of that existed before the occupation. They can also be prosecuted for war crimes if they commit war crimes.

What the US did that that was problematic wasn't creating prisons outside America-- there can be problems with that, but moving people from, let's say Afghanistan, to a prison in Poland or Romania, or Cuba. That's what's forbidden.

Additionally of course, the problem was that the US was torturing them and keeping this out of the courts, so there were attempts to get people from these bases to the US, so that something could be done legally, but this is a measure that was attempted to find a trick to break crazy situation, not something normal.

If enough people cross their land over a long enough period of time (varies by jurisdiction) without permission, that creates a "prescriptive easement," which is essentially what you're asking for. Some decent info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easement#By_prescription

FWIW some corporations do configure their VPN in a split tunnel config so that things like Youtube do not traverse the VPN and so that pizza delivery remains local. They instead have inclusive lists of domains and IP's that will traverse the VPN.

Either way I think its a moot point. If the bill could include corporations they would band together and kill the bill along with having the politician censured or expelled. Corporations have a lot of influence, lawyers and money. Threaten their money and they make things happen.

Not much if any critical thinking went into this proposal. It's likely just a virtue-signal to win favor.
