Compare the iconic Testarossa [0] with the latest F80 [1], do you see anything common that screams “Ferrari design language”? I don’t. If anything, Luce looks more like a modern take of the classic Ferrari model.

You criticized it despite not knowing how the exterior looks like, or what Ferrari’s requirements are, e.g “fresh take in the new era”, “distinct look for EV”, “avoid upsetting existing buyers who want to protect their car’s value”, “attract younger affluent buyers who grew up with Apple products”, and so on.

Another thing to consider, this will be a SUV for the mainstream, not the enthusiasts, although it still requires preorder and long waiting time.

Design is very subjective. I personally don’t love this. I like Land Rovers’s much more. Still the criticism here reads a lot like “Jony Ive is no longer cool, so anything he touches sucks”.

I've noticed losers always have a reason why they fail and always an excuse why they can't do something that works. If I did it for 10 years while I was young and broke, a normal person ought to be able to do it for 1 until they learn enough wrenching on cars to be able to maintain one for cheaper than $9k.

Sorry for those with the loser mentality that they won't ride a motorcycle and can't afford a car, so they will just give up or pray somehow things will get more affordable for them without a backup plan in case their protests do not work.

I'm sure some people will bring hate to me for doing that, I'll just cry into all the dollars I saved over those years which despite your theory, none of which were spent on medical bills from a crash.

I get the same kind of hate when I point out to the losers I built a house for $60,000 post-COVID by just building it myself. "Oh but I could never bust ass for 2 years doing carpentry, plumbing, electric, foundations etc while working full time, so I will just cry about houses being so expensive instead!" So many times in my life I've been told it can't be done, and time and time again I get to gloat in them being so horribly wrong. It really brings on the hate when I find ways to succeed with next to nothing, but the truth is others can do it too, they just always have a sob story as to why they won't do it, and why I'm just a big meanie for pointing out cheap paths to success that I've personally tested to work.

Absolutely. I never thought I’d have to retrain, and I’m still uncertain if I will have to because I’m not really sure where software development will be in the next few years. It was quite an epiphany to run my first agent on a code base and be simultaneously excited at the implications for productivity, and numb at the realisation that the work it was saving was the work I enjoyed and the expertise I was being paid for. There are only so many roles for developers to write the prompts and review the output, and it does feel a bit like prodding a machine and waiting for it to go ding.

God's Word says all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. That we have choices but all choose evil. We keep choosing evil at times out entire lives. So, all people are to face justice for their evil.

But, God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him will have eternal life. Christ took God's jistice upon Himself, serving our sentence for us, to give us a second chance. If people repent and follow Him (God), then He forgives our sins as a gift. Then, begins a process of transforming us from inside out to glorify His name on Earth. Which includes good works He does through us.

People can still choose to sin. We're evil, after all. Yet, we have an Advocate, Jesus Christ the Righteous, who intercedes for us. He cleans us from all unrighteousness as we confess with true remorse. If we ask, He turns a heart of stone into a heart of flesh. It's a gift He offers out of grace we don't deserve. But, He does discipline unrepentant sin and it does cost us in the long run.
Show HN: Reef – Bash compatibility layer for Fish shell, written in Rust
by xbuben | 2026-02-09 23:44:48+00:00
Fish is the fastest, friendliest interactive shell, but it can't run bash
syntax, which has kept it niche for 20 years. Reef fixes this with a three-tier
approach: fish function wrappers for common keywords (export, unset, source),
a Rust-powered AST translator using conch-parser for structural syntax
(for/do/done, if/then/fi, $()), and a bash passthrough with env capture for
everything else.

251/251 bash constructs pass in the test suite. The slowest path (full bash
passthrough) takes ~3ms. The binary is 1.18MB.

The goal: install fish, install reef, never think about bash compatibility
again. Your muscle memory, Stack Overflow commands, and tool configs all just
work.

If they are in the US on a work-permit, they have to follow the limitations of the work-permit. They are not free to follow the affordances available to people who are outside the US. For most temporary work-permits, owning a business is not permitted. The govt. wants the worker to work for their sponsor, not own a business. After one gets a GC (i.e. permanent residence), one is free to work for anyone, or start businesses.

China is so technocratic and efficient that it has been faking growth and population statistics for the last decade, hides youth unemployment numbers, and raids due diligences companies who may provide external investors more realistic data about the economy or local companies.

Also, China has its own real estate bubble, so it is not immune to those issues. At least in the US people have some recourse at the individual level.

Paradoxically we do know a lot more about some of the ancient Near Eastern societies than most states that preceded or succeeded them. There are still thousands of clay tablets which nobody really had time to read, while pretty much all Roman and Greek texts (and effectively all administrative documents) that weren’t copied during the middle ages are lost.

> provinces and basically amounted to plunder.

Also redistribution. The mid/late Roman state spent had huge taxes and spent almost all of it paying for its professional army almost all of which was stationed in the provinces.

As a consequence the Roman economy was highly monetized, long distance trade was widespread and different regions economically interdependent which again seems rather modern.

Also when talking about “plunder” in the ancient world it's almost entirely slaves not gold/silver or moveable goods. That had mostly dried up during the imperial period.

> Being angry at them won't change their behaviour

Yes, but the comment above was about society collectively making a decision, so that's the context I responded in.

And while it's relaxing to not worry about your own exact speed, I don't see how that lets you avoid stressing about the people that are lane-weaving. They're acting dangerously and I need to be ready to react to them.

> One thing HPDE taught me is that most people under brake in dangerous situations because they simply don't know the limit of their vehicle nor the sensitivity range of the brake pedal.

On any modern car, just push it all the way and let ABS and stability control figure it out, and don't let the vibrating brake pedal spook you into releasing it. That's just ABS doing its thing.

Really though, getting a license is too easy in the USA. We really need to require some sort of car control course, including obstacle avoidance in the rain. Would be really nice too if it included an obstacle avoidance course in two cars: A huge SUV or pick-up truck and a more reasonably sized sedan. So many drivers think they need a huge vehicle to be safe while being completely unaware of how well smaller cars can likely avoid the crashes to begin with. Would probably get really expensive really quickly, though.

Yes, this is what is happening. It isn't happening fast enough, so some implementations (especially servers that don't upgrade often enough, or running long-term-support OS flavors) will still be affected. This is the impact that the original article is warning about.

My point was that this is yet another change that makes TLS operations harder for non-Web use cases, with the "benefit" to the WebPKI being the removal of a hypothetical complexity, motivated by examples that indeed should have used a private PKI in the first place.

There are differences in receptor behavior across species, but they are understandably clustered around the parts of the spectrum in which sol is most luminous. An earth-like planet orbiting a different star would likely have evolved photoreceptor arrangements which match that star instead. So after scratching the biology itch we'll probably need to talk about fusion byproducts in sol-like stars.

It's considerate communication. Lurching into the next lane .08 seconds after the blinker first flashes says things like "Your life isn't worth the basic consideration and respect of communicating my intentions" and scales up to "I'll communicate, but you're not worth any sort of common courtesy" - that can be upsetting to people.

It doesn't even have to be real. There's huge room for miscommunication. Unpredictable movements and perceived aggression, or unwillingness to be considerate to other drivers on the road, there's a whole wealth of information being processed, regardless of how little is actually real.

Now add the total lack of accountability for the driver's emotional state (don't you love yelling at other drivers, completely free of judgement?), and you can see how things spiral into road rage so relatively easily, even if everyone involved is normally a pretty chill, rational person.

If you're tailgating or brake-checking, or being inattentive and sloppy, you're basically threatening people's lives with a few tons of high speed metal, even if you don't intend that at all.

Ideally, the rules of the road are meant to reinforce a mutual understanding of the game being played. Behavior occurring when expected, proper signaling, observing limits, and making the effort to communicate where possible is a signal that you and the other driver are both operating by the same set of rules, giving you both confidence that neither of you are going to be a danger.

I've seen little "cute" exceptions where locals develop a subculture of dangerous assumptions and then get aggravated when someone from out of town doesn't immediately get it. There are other areas where aggression and what amounts to flagrant disrespect are the norm, so you've always gotta be adaptive, but ideally you get people conspicuously following the same set of rules as a sort of game theoretic optimal strategy for driving.

HSTS was specifically designed to block you from having any ignore buttons. (And Firefox refuses to implement a way to bypass it.)

But this is also why the current PKI mindset is insane. The warnings are never truly about a security problem, and users have correctly learned the warnings are useless. The CA/B is accomplishing absolutely nothing for security and absolutely everything for centralized control and platform instability.

> lack of truly representative government.

There is no such thing as (truly) representative government. To the limited extent that groups of people can at all be represented (which is a whole other questions) - governments are generally not about doing that. Yes, many world states have electoral systems where people can vote for one of several (lists of) candidates or parties, but the claim that in the normal and uncorrupted scenario, the elected properly represent the populace/citizenry - does not, I believe, stand scrutiny.

Which is to say, don't try to "find a way in which candidates aren't corrupt and bought off"; that is in the core of democracies in money/capital-based economies. At best, the elected will act according to some balance of influences by different social forces, some being more popular and some being powerful and moneyed elites or individuals. If you want that to change, the change needs to be structural and quite deep, undermining state sovereignty and exchange-based economy.

If you say that air isn’t “really” blue because the reason it is blue is different than the reason that other things are blue (e.g. most blue things in daily life absorb frequencies other than blue), this is equivalent to saying that birds with blue feathers due to structural coloration—where instead of pigment, microscopic structures interfere with light—don’t “really” have blue feathers.

This is just silly. Some birds have blue feathers. There are various ways to be blue. Similarly, air is blue.

That's easy to deal with: They're behind you. Ignore them.

Setting the side mirrors based on the AAA method works for a lot of reasons, and it helps with this too. So does flipping the center mirror over to the dark side.

Out of sight, out of mind.

They can be elect to stay back there behaving however they want, or they can go around be however they need to be somewhere else.

If you just can't stand it anymore, then just hop off the highway. It can be a good opportunity to stop for some coffee or a soda. Or, you know: Just to get out of the car, stretch out the ol' legs, and taste that acrid city air, think about something or someone in the world that is beautiful for you, and chill down a second.

Or just go up one exit ramp and down the entrance ramp on the other side of the crossroad, if the intersection design allows this move to be made safely and conveniently.

They almost certainly won't follow. They'll instead be disappearing down the highway at warp speed the whole time you're doing this, and you'll probably never across them again in your entire life.

It only costs a few minutes. They may seem interminable, but they're few. The benefit is relief from the mounting agony of dealing with this aggressive driver that might otherwise stick with you the rest of the day and that's good for your brain health.

(And if they do follow after you give them every opportunity to not do that? It's not Hollywood or the national news and this actually doesn't happen much in the real world on an individual level, but: Call the police at 911 or 999 or 0118 999 881 999 119 725 3 or whatever it is, and get some help.)

Because I have some experience with FOSS, I know you don't get the recognition that you deserve. So on behalf of everyone who's too distracted to say thank you.

Thank you!

Admittedly, it did take a day (less than), but once I got used to the interface Zulip provides. It's better than what I would have asked for! It's phenomenal software! The whole experience is better than anything else that exists. And everyone charging for the same features should feel embarrassed given how much better Zulip is!

Genuinely, it's impressive what y'all have created. So thank you!

What about the eraser? What about the machine that mills the pumice that goes in the eraser? What about the yellow paint? Are you gonna go with cadmium pigment or something that won’t kill children, and if so, what? How to you plan to refine the bauxite ore to make the aluminum ferrule that attaches the eraser to the pencil? Were you aware that they are aluminum, or called ferrules? What about the machine that makes the pierced holes through the ferrule that retains the eraser?

I know a shitload of trivia about both manufacturing and pencils. But I could not possibly recreate all the processes needed to manufacture a pencil.

I learned a lot about pencils from this article. It is also applicable to jet engines.

> No, it's broken because we've allowed millions of foreigners to come in and raise said healthcare and housing costs.

The idea that deporting every undocumented person will reduce the bloat and profit extraction in our health care system is making me giggle.

And do you really think checking every person is a strategy that scales? Why not just indiscriminately jail the people who hire them and thereby create a strong incentive to come?

Maybe those workers actually belong here more than you'd like to admit, but the powers that be enjoy keeping their status uncertain to use as a piñata they can beat whenever they need political candy.

Have you looked at the history of data loss bugs in other filesystems?

If you look at actual data - frequency of user impacting data loss bugs - bcachefs has been doing quite a bit better than other filesystems have /after/ they've dropped the experimental level.

We just live in the age of hype and overhype and excitement that turns into drama. Everyone just needs to chill out :)

And I don't hide stuff like this: compare the impact of the bug itself to what you'd see in other filesystems. We knew basically from the first report what caused it, were able to communicate to users what happened, it wasn't random, it wasn't silent data loss - error messages were good and it was able to understand what was going on.

Talk to people who are actually using it. I know of quite a few people who are now migrating from ZFS because they want something more reliable.

Right, this article overlooks the difference between a first encounter and regular encounters. The concise representation pays off when you do learn it, as long as it's executed well.

And I'm fine with a bit of cognitive exploration to figure out a green check and red X scheme rather than see a whole table column filled up with words like "active" and "inactive". The former allows more columns on screen at once. Horizontal scrolling is a worse impediment to assimilating information from a table.

I wish there was more info. Who sent the C&D? Did that entity seem likely to have enough money to actually sue, and did they seem immune to the negative press if they did sue? Is that company in an unrelated-enough industry that they could just call it "Revoltchat" or something and be safe? Did they at least show it to a lawyer? Why didn't they publish the C&D?

I'm not a lawyer, but this kind of thing happens enough that I've asked GPT to explain it to me, and I think most people roll over at the first legal demand, no matter how outrageous.

Calling it "stoat" seems like a form of self-destructive protest.

There are at least three US tungsten mining startups.[1][2][3] It looks like the product is the stock, not the mineral. They're all in the money-acquisition stage. Two have animated American flags on their sites. The third is Canadian-owned.

It's worse than the wannabe rare earth mining companies.

This is exactly why we built observability hooks into OpenClaw - not just for debugging, but for security auditing. The URL preview attack vector is particularly nasty because it exploits the agent's natural behavior (fetching context) rather than requiring a vulnerability.

The attack chain is elegant:
1. Attacker sends message with malicious URL
2. Agent's "helpful" URL unfurling triggers outbound request
3. Data exfiltration via encoded parameters or headers

For production agents, we've moved to a whitelist-only outbound model with explicit user confirmation for uncategorized domains. The overhead is worth it - better to ask permission than exfiltrate data.

The mentioned mitigations (disabling previews, domain gates) are necessary but not sufficient. You also need audit logging of what the agent fetched and when, ideally with content hashing for integrity verification.

Unless they're changing things with some sort of automated classification, then it's users who designate which servers and channels have adult content.

In my experience, you run the risk of getting your server shut down in small servers if someone reports it. Or risk losing your community server status in larger public servers until you come back into compliance.

Also in my experience what teenagers are going to do when they hit an age gate is use a fake picture/video. Sometimes they'll get banned for that and then they'll make a new account and do it again.

How many times do we need to praise the simple XMPP server? It does everything you need it to do, has done so since the 90s, and doesn't require any PII, ever. I remember 20 years ago MS trying to cram Lync down our throats. That pile of crap was inferior in every way, yet it still succeeded. Does anyone remember it? No. So don't jump to another platform. Stick with the original solution and hold onto it for the rest of your life. https://xmpp.org/

>> you can't be bothered to open the settings?

> This kind of crap ticks me off and makes me respond in kind. I should be better, sure, but sometimes I'm not.

I think we're all struggling to identify any other possible interpretation of, and I quote, "obviously there was a solution, probably an easy one, but I didn’t even look for it".

What, pray tell, is the generous interpretation of that? Should Tim Apple come to your desk personally every morning and ask which MacOS defaults it would suit you to remove? Because you're the most important person in the universe, and the obvious security benefits of sandboxing filesystem access pale in comparison to any inconvenience for you, even if that inconvenience is you having to bother to open the settings?

You're being totally unreasonable, and you're acting mean when your unreasonableness is picked up on. Deal with your issues.
