When the law department attempted to get a representative of the white house to speak about public service (something they do every year, for obvious reasons), the aula got locked down with chains and students prevented anyone from coming there.

Why ? Well "not my president" was one of the signs.

Needless to say, the students blocking the aula were not law students and since they made it clear they would disrupt any attempt to change the venue, the talk was canceled.

VERY disappointing I must say. You don't like who's gotten elected ? Let's obstruct the futures of your co-students because it might help them.

This seems to be the norm now. And yes, it was rescheduled, the venue was changed to a downtown hotel, and there was a "covert" announcement of the new arrangement. I hear the hotel owner even gave the venue and the drinks for free in support of free expression.
It just keeps getting better: Intel's diagnostic tool is published with an MD5 checksum.
> What we're seeing is a force of nature, the legal profession cannot stop it, overall society has to choose to stop it, which means they have to choose to allow conservative voices.

I find this observation very strange considering the current political climate in the United States. Isn't the conservative voice the dominant voice being expressed in the executive and legislative branches right now?
Your eyes are also unable to see infrared, or ultra-violet, yet either with sufficient power will blind you. In fact it's often much more dangerous than visible light, because the light won't trigger your blink reflex.

Sound is just vibration in the air, and if the pressure is high enough, you're going to suffer. High frequency ultrasound is used for various medical treatments, most of which involve localised killing of cells.

> Yes, we may identify (seemingly) flawless correlations between objective phenomena and consciousness, but they do not constitute any sort of "explanation" for consciousness.

They may perhaps show that our previous expectations for an "explanation" were nonsensical. Compare this debate over consciousness against the history of vitalism. The same progression of ideas posed to justify some special ontological category for life, but where are all the vitalists now? In retrospect, do their arguments seem at all reasonable? How do they compare to present arguments about consciousness? In retrospect, will future people find these perspectives just as wrong?
Interesting how this article steadfastly refers to the subsystem as AMT and never mentions Management Engine/ME. A deliberate ploy to redirect people away from discovering all the ME-disabling research and tech? Perhaps. This is what happens when "journalists" post copypasta from publicists.
So, freedom is only for the rich?

Users would revoke permissions needed to show ads on apps that have no reason to access the Internet.
It should be a non centralized solution. Blindly trusting GitHub is a problem when , say, a Chrome extension rewrites the links on GitHub.
I wonder what it would take to make an app that does this exact thing and listens in order to hook into whatever and prevent malicious apps from beaconing. Also seems useful in order to see if there are any such ads out in the wild yet.

Do IT certifications still matter?
It does say that in the readme, but I don't think it's actually necessary: you can get certificates and provisioning profiles through the web portal without going through Xcode. (For certificates, it has you upload a standard CSR file.) Though developers may not know that…

Admittedly, if you don't have a Mac build machine, (a) you can't test your builds, and (b) you can't use the official SDK (including, e.g., system header files) without violating the terms of service. Not that many people care about that, but if you don't mind ToS violations you may as well just install pirated macOS in a VM (which is easy enough in practice). Perhaps Apple deserves blame for not having a legal way to run a macOS VM on non-Apple hardware; certainly it makes life harder for open-source developers that want to play by the rules. Still, these obstacles have nothing to do with signing.
HN should curb this racist attitude.
This kind of criticism misses the point. The web is not designed. It is evolved. Various bits of it were designed at their outset, but it was literally impossible to envision all the implications of those design decisions.

This is not a bad thing, for the simple reason that every long-lived complex system involving many humans must behave this way.

Any attempt to top-down design the perfect, universal, distributed application runtime hits fundamental social problems not unlike those in a centrally planned economy: too much information to integrate, too many stubbornly uncooperative humans with their own divergent goals and opinions.

Systems at this scale are much more like biology than like circuit design.
I think the main concern here is the state of GUI apps in macOS and Windows. Popular apps in these platforms are mostly closed-source, even for personal side projects. For the few open source GUI apps, no package manager provides support for building GUI apps from source.
I wish package managers would make it easier to build GUI apps from source, or even provide their own binary packages for GUI apps. I really feel reluctant to install most GUI apps on macOS and Windows because I can't trust that the build/distribution platforms for these apps are properly secured.
Checksums != signatures

For free, the author could simply GPG sign all releases for all platforms and suggest users verify them. Then, the decision to run untrusted code is the user's decision and bypasses platform monetization.

Then, if suffient and continual contributions of money and expertise permit, official codesigning per platform could be added as another layer (defense-in-depth).
High Speed Serial I/O – free book
The John Resig post linked by TFA indicates that this was originally dealt with by locking the constructor altogether:

function Array(){
alert("hello, I found something of yours!");
}
// ERROR: redeclaration of const Array

But it appears that the restriction now applies only to literals, as I can do this in at least Chrome and Firefox:

function Array() {console.log("hope")}
undefined
var x = new Array(3);
hope
undefined

As long as you keep having ideas, keep going. My advice to you: Design and develop it for yourself first and foremost. If it is useful to you, it will be useful to others.

If you design and develop for others, you will be much more disappointed. I usually design things based on my own needs and share them with the world. If no one is using it, I'm using it for myself, at least, so I'm my biggest fan.

I wouldn't say I've had too many failures, although I'm just getting started. However, I've done some testing the past few years and put out some free products out there and tweeted about them only. Then I waited and watched.

In 2015 I created a product called https://mypost.io which allows anyone to have a web page up on the Internet in seconds. It is a very simple blogging / web page creation platform that even lets people use HTML and CSS to design their pages. The test was: Will people find it useful and actually use it? I added OWA so I could see the location of where people were using it from and I've seen people as far as Russia using it.

This let me know at least I was on the right track to creating something useful. I'm sure if I had the funds to really market and advertise my products, I'd be able to push them much further, but the hope for now is that people share it if they find it useful.

While I wouldn't say that I'm monetarily successful at this moment, I did build a popular website, and was able to gain and use that traffic to drive attention towards things I'm doing.

Failure is what eventually leads to success. The reason it keeps getting better for you is because you are learning from your mistakes and constantly changing for the better. If you didn't do that, than I might be more concerned and might tell you its time to call it quits. But your perseverance, ambition, and desire for success is going to work out greatly in your favor when the time comes.
A very large percentage of Mozilla's revenue comes from search engines (recently Yahoo, previously Google) who pay Mozilla to make themselves the default search engine on Firefox. If Firefox users saw no ads and were untrackable, Yahoo would have no reason to pay anymore.

Of course Mozilla doesn't try to force everyone to stick to the defaults, so you're free to change the default search engine and install a bunch of ad-blocking, anti-tracking add-ons.
I don't think it's commodification. In cities where the government doesn't artificially make it hard to build new houses, housing is much more affordable.

But seeming to seem is not the same as seeming, so you can't hold both to be true simultaneously. This whole thread had been about whether seeming actually happens at all. For instance, I've consistently stated that experience doesn't really exist, that it's an illusion, and so p-zombies can't exist. As I said earlier, I acknowledge I have "consciousness", but this doesn't necessarily entail the same set of properteies you expect. I am totally behind the idea that consciousness is an informational property, but that hasn't been the impression I've gotten from your posts.

That's mostly what I use, but there are still times that I use vim because even emacs with evil doesn't do what I need (or do it easily, or as well).
That's not the point; the context of the post you replied to was people that "claim to want an open-source chip, but end up balking at its price tag".
Being open source isn't going to stop someone replacing a download on a hacked server.

Also, the package manager you're after is brew, specifically 'brew cask', which installs GUI apps.

EDIT: By the way, building from source doesn't stop someone replacing the source package the package manager uses. Sure you can look at the code in the package, but are you going to? It's more likely you'd check the code on Github, if at all.
Okay so I manage to complete the build, on idle this is about 80w, but notice I have a 1070 card, which costs around 37w according to nvidia-smi, so if you don't need a graphics card, I'd say 40w - 50w is more than enough in idle.

It is true that Perl being superseded doesn't make it immediately disappear. Even COBOL hasn't disappeared completely.

That said, Perl openings do seem to be in serious decline. Right now on indeed.com, there are 700 openings mentioning Perl for the BA. There are 4000 Python openings.
To be clear, Nix isn't haskell. It has its own domain-specific language. The documentation is a total mess, and months into using NixOS, I still don't really understand it.

That being said, NixOS is the best damn OS I have ever used. Period.

Installing NixOS is a total breeze. It's magical.

1. Boot live CD

2. Mount partitions

3. Write a simple configuration.nix

4. nixos-install

5. Boot a complete system, and log in with the user you defined in your configuration.nix (with a hashed password and everything).

nix-env lets you install packages in your home directory (without root).

nix-shell lets you create a special environment with specific packages, etc. and run a shell in that environment.

nixos-rebuild [switch test boot] (as root) creates a new system according to your modified configuration.nix. If you use switch, it (re)starts updated/new services all on its own. If you broke your system, just reboot, and pick the second most recent boot entry, and you will be back where you started.

TL;DR NixOS is well worth the effort. The benefits far far outweigh the headaches, and there is only room for improvement. You will start with a system that you cannot break!
For those Mac users who are unfamiliar with objective-see... Their free security tools for MacOS are a boon to the community. I think that they are right up there with "little snitch" and the like, especially since they spare the user the typical IDS data overload.
Speaking as somebody who's contributed to the extension, what issues did you have with it? I think it's pretty good, personally (although definitely not as good as VSVim).
You have a point, but I think there is a reasonable midpoint that Talos missed altogether. RISC-V's move towards RPi/Arduino style mini-systems lets them get a market going at a price point that has some chance to get some uptake early, and hopefully grow from there.

Talos seemed amazing, and I was always fond of the ppc/power architecture and wished for something more modern than an old G5 mac, but $7k for a desktop is just more than even most early adopters are willing to do.

I'm serious. What does Pro-Israel mean in this context? Most of the western world is Pro-Israel as in pro Israel's existence. An Anti-Israel speaker would be extremely controversial.

Nice, Workflowy with Vim key bindings. Surely Workflowy itself can give support for it.
I thought that microprocessor production and design was fraught with risk of infringing on other designers' patents (even for original ISAs). I can see that industry heavyweights have arrived to support RISC-V, so hopefully that comes with a team of professors/lawyers that could defend them. But, why now? Why couldn't this have happened sooner? Didn't Sun try to create an open SPARC processor design? What does RISC-V have that it didn't?

Is the intent for RISC-V to compete with modern high-end CPU designs, or do we just want to have royalty-free microprocessors for our embedded devices?

You might be surprised (at least I was) to learn that peripherals like hard drives and PCI-add-in cards usually have their own CPU executing their own software. Those processors are often MIPS/ARM/etc based and the manufacturer has to shell out to someone to be able to use that, even if they designed the processor themselves. I can see how this particular market is ripe for something like RISC-V. But does anyone expect RISC-V to really go head-to-head with Xeon, Opteron, ThunderX, Centriq?

I sound incredulous because this seems surprising to me, but I have no evidence to suggest whether it's as unlikely as I think. I've certainly seen open source software designs far superior to closed source ones, so maybe hardware design is no different?
They have switched the highway rest stops to these around me. I did stop at one a few months back where someone had stuffed various stuff in all the toilets to make them unusable. They must have did quite the number on them since it was still shut and fenced off over a week later when I drove past it again!
I'm sorry but I have to ask: are you Chinese? This isn't a counter argument. You're argument is literally people in the geographical region of Tibet did something to another group over a thousand years ago and that justifies the hatred of the Dalai Lama.

Others have the SiFive chip, but if you want to boot Linux then your best option currently is running Rocket on an FPGA kit. I expect that we'll soon have more options. If you just want to play around, then I'd recommend Spike or Fabrice's https://bellard.org/riscvemu/
Actually, Homebrew discourages building GUI apps. It's in the process of moving all GUI apps to Homebrew Cask, which doesn't support building from source. The exception is for GUI apps targeted for Linux, which can't be converted to a macOS-style appliation bundle.
Hmm. Alright then, I'll keep it in mind.

One question: can I remove systemd? :)

You don't need to root a phone to install a new operating system. What you do likely need to do is unlock the bootloader, if at all possible.

If it's supported by LineageOS, use that instead. If not - perhaps consider buying a phone that is. If you're really privacy conscious, perhaps look at the CopperheadOS options - they're specifically known for privacy.

Other than that, this is the sad state of big data and advertising. Unless you fight back agasint it, everything about you is going to be poked, proded, and collected for futher processing and aggregation. Hell, a lot of you probably work in that industry here.

You should not assume that any device manufacturer has your interests in mind, as the trends have overwhelmingly shown that anything proprietary always leads to them finding a way to further line their pockets as interest for their product wanes, or their investors get greedier.

These are facts of life; take action but don't be surprised when you're being misled and taken advantage of when you're putting the trust of something so integral in a proprietary party.

Godspeed.

There's a house 2 blocks from me where an old Volvo is always in the driveway, with a bumper sticker that says:

I always walk by that place and think, those people must be cool. I've never put a TV set in any place I've lived.

But I've noticed lately when I walk by there at night... they have a big TV on. I wonder if it has a sticker on it that says

The "Windows" you can run on a Raspberry Pi (ignoring anything involving X86 emulation) isn't a general-purpose OS. It's more like a deployment target for UWP/IoT apps that you write on a Windows 10 PC.

From the FAQ:

How is it different from other desktop environments?

> Designed to work best with TrueOS®, but specifically works very well for the BSD community at large. Lumina® can also be easily ported to any OS, including Linux distros).

> Does not require any of the commonly-used desktop implementation frameworks (DBUS, policykit, consolekit, systemd, HALD, etc..).

> Does not come bundled with any "end-user" applications (web browsers, email clients, multimedia software, office suites, etc..). The only utilities that Lumina brings to the table by default are the ones written specifically for the project and are generally for background/utilitarian functionality (the largest utility is the file manager).

> Simple text-based configuration file for setting system-wide defaults for new users. This allows distributors of the desktop to easily pre-set the system defaults/interface so it just works for the end user.

> Plugin-based interface design. This allows the user to make the desktop as light/heavy as desired (within reason) simply by choosing which plugins to have running on their desktop/panels.

> Designed to function as a general-purpose system interface - easily pre-configured to run on any type/size of device or screen.
> Most notably, the Tibetans sacked the capital of the Tang dynasty — one of China's most brilliant in terms of cultural accomplishments — in that dynasty's twilight years.

So you're saying Tibetans were a proud, independent people whose strength once even matched that of the famous Tang Empire?
