Input in a text-buffer-backed system usually involves a "baked" line discipline where the text editor isn't submitting individual characters to the process as you type them, but rather holds onto your input as regular text, allowing you to edit it as you please, until you do something to "commit" it as input to the program—at which point it becomes available all at once on that program's stdin.

In some editors with shell support, this just happens when you type a newline; but in others, even newlines are treated as ordinary text, and you have to press Ctrl+Enter or somesuch to submit the (multi-line!) command.

In Plan9's Acme editor, for an interesting example, there is no shell mode as such; rather, in any buffer, you can make a text selection, and then middle-click that text selection, and it will feed that input to the stdin of whatever forked interpreter process is configured for the buffer (usually determined by the buffer's filetype); and then the output from the stdout of the program will be inserted in the same buffer, just below your text-selection; or, if you middle-click while holding shift (I think?), it'll replace your selection.

In other words: you don't rely on a REPL for multi line editing, because that's what text-editors are for! :) Your REPL can see your editor as a dumb serial terminal—most REPLs gracefully degrade in such situations.
>If anything the draft brought the war to a close sooner.

I don't think there is much evidence for this. Over 2.7 million Americans served in Viet Nam. If the politicians could have possibly gotten millions of young people to drop what they were doing and go 5 thousand miles to fight in a civil war in a country most had never heard of before, they would certainly have done so. There is simply no possible way they could have gotten that many troops on a volunteer basis, or they would have done so.

>Once kids of upper and middle class parents started getting drafted and killed they started putting pressure on the government to end the war.

The upper class were able to get out of serving in Viet Nam with deferments, serving in the National Guard, etc. Johnson acknowledged this and that is why they never sent the National Guard to fight in Viet Nam.

The middle and lower classes were dieting in Viet Nam long after the average American had given up on the war. Johnson din't even run for re-election because people were so opposed to the war but the war still dragged on for several more years. The politicians didn't end the war sooner because they didn't want to suffer the political consequences of looking like the person who lost and they knew there was plenty of cannon fodder to replace the soldiers who came back in a body bag.

>...Now that American wars are mostly being fought by volunteers from classes without political power they can drag on for decades and most Americans barely even think about them anymore.

There are differences between the wars of today and the Viet Nam war. The Viet Nam war had literally an order of magnitude more deaths than our current wars. A war zone is never safe but there are at least a few occupations that are a more dangerous than fighting in Afghanistan. Having a volunteer force means the soldiers have to treated better and paid more than a draftee. These wars have been a waste of lives and money but things would have been much worse if there were millions of draftees serving in the middle east and Afghanistan. At a minimum, I think it is very likely there would have been a war for regime change in Iran if there were a draftee army that was forced to fight there.

Having a volunteer force in the 1960s would have meant that the Viet Nam war would have been fought with a lot more concern for the loss of life of the solders, and it likely wouldn't have been fought anything like it was fought.

The indictment doesn't assert an APT, just plain-old spearphish, steal password, install backdoor. If this was the GRU they didn't need their top men. 100% consistent with the "it could have been anybody, and probably multiple attackers got in" theory.

Note that the communications with the politicians and reporters are all a month or more after the leaks and their contents were public knowledge.
Agreed that something being called "work" doesn't mean that it has to be unpleasant, but like you said, it's called "work" because it needs to be done, and in most cases ALL of it needs to be done, even the parts that a given individual might not enjoy. It also might be true that even though a person doesn't like some aspects of their work, they still get a lot of fulfillment from other aspects of their work, and are also compensated well financially, so as to make it worth the tradeoff to sometimes have to do tasks they don't enjoy. And really are there people that truly take great delight from reviewing a help file? Somebody has to get it done. As long as that kind of work doesn't become the only type of work you are doing, what's the problem?

Thinkpieces lately have had a trend of reaching harder and harder to link the news de jour to a higher, abstract concepts. They try to give an impression that their words can carve America out of the "modern world" with surgical precision, by contrasting the socialist utopia of... the entirety of Europe.

The result feels hystrionic to me. Claiming that America has no social contract, that there is a proto-fascist movement arising, all this and more, feels like it is just designed to raise the excitement for people in the correct echo chamber. By calling on increasingly abstract concepts the author can reign in an appeal to authority and emotion that has more appeal than actual facts and statistics.

The author, and his inward-looking media peers, are all drinking eachother's Kool-Aid a bit too much. It's like some sort of outrage porn that keeps getting remixed over and over again, and becoming some sort of fractal version of itself.

It's both of these things.

There's a reason we have governments at a higher level than neighborhoods and cities. Not every decision makes sense there.

We've tried city level zoning, the result is that economically booming areas fight new residents, drastically raising rents while preventing others from joining in in the economic success. It's a disaster, just look at the bay area.

Or look at the cost of sprawl in how much nature we've cut down and our per capita energy usage. What part of that looks good to you?

If you zoom in too far, people get selfish and you hit externalities. Zoning isn't unique, sometimes you need more coordination for things to work.
From the article: "Japan zones limit the “maximum nuisance" in a zone, and allow for any development below that threshold (e.g. a factory can’t be built in a residential neighborhood but housing can be built in a light industrial zone)."

So, by this understanding, the author isn't completely correct and that if the factory is not a nuisance it can be built in a residential neighborhood and it has to be proven that the factory causes harm?
That seems like a waste of taxpayer dollars.
> Are the accused allowed to examine the evidence use to charge them?

If they actually are arrested or surrender themselves to face the charges, yes, mostly. That is, they are entitled to not only what the prosecution will use at trial, but to have any exculpatory evidence in the hands of the government proactively turned over, and to have compulsory means of securing any relevant evidence, physical or testimonial, from any person subject to the court.

But that's likely moot in this case; these defendants seem unlikely to be brought before the court, voluntarily or involuntarily.

In this attack, the maintainer's primary device was not owned. The maintainer's npm account was breached due to a reused password. Code signing would mitigate this because the attacker would be unable to release/sign a malicious version of the package.

Building a system that is immune against the maintainer's device being compromised puts you into "Reflections on trusting trust" territory. Just sticking two-factor authentication into that process won't change much (though it would of course also mitigate the password reuse vector).

My passion is audio but my job is writing software.

I have a lot of friends in the audio field, and something I've noticed is that doing your passion for a living can take the fun out of it.

For instance, my friends in the audio world don't sit around listening to new loudspeakers, or designing new loudspeakers. They mostly spend their time marketing products and filling orders. Working in audio isn't a whole lot different than working in any other retail field.

But when I work on audio projects? I can do whatever I please, because I'm not doing it to pay my mortgage.
I want it because that's what I grew up with. I loved everything about it. We had a 3 bedroom house with living room and kitchen and 2 car garage. In the garage my dad had a workbench with a bunch of tools and a radial saw. He added on a 20x30ft family room which he mostly built. He built it to be somewhat sound proof because he played drums, bass, and guitar semi professionally.

Because it was opposite side of the house from his bedroom and because it was semi-soundproof my sister and I could have slumber parties with 4-8 friends over and be as loud as we wanted.

Why wouldn't I want that again?

I loved being able to be loud. To watch an action movie at 2am . My dad's stereo had 8 sets of speakers floor to ceiling. Him and my mom would host an 80 person New Years Eve party every other year.

Ever since I moved out 30 yrs ago I've lived in nothing but apartments where I mostly have to tiptoe to not annoy the neighbors. Can't have a dog. Can't have a workbench with tools. Can't have more than 2-4 guests over at once. Have to watch TV with headphones on if I want any volume.

I get the desire to live downtown near other things but I also get the desire to own a single family detached house. They're awesome!
It is not mandatory to use such companies and laws already exist in case company has done trouble. Not sure what needs to be regulated here. Company should have freedom to choose who it does business with. If you don't like it you can start your own AirBNB.
What it takes to stand up to authority
I'm not sure we've been that exceptionally good for awhile now. if ever. It's a story we grow up with, and tend to repeat, But i think the author has a reasonable assertion, and describes america pretty accurately. I look back at all the vitriole we would cast at peoples of foreign countries, and laugh at how beneath us they are. I suppose most countries feel that way about others, it's the age old iron-age in-group/out-group that we need to somehow grow out of. Frankly we, as americans, are now looking up at other peoples.
So there's a few features that I'd like to see at some point: Some way of marking "new comments" when I revisit a thread. Rescanning HN threads just to see what's changed since I last looked at one is kinda frustrating. (I realize you're not @dang, but posting this here just as an idea)
> Github stole my 4-character username ("mind") to hand over to some machine learning startup-lookalike.

Wow ok, I'd just like to be crystal clear here.

1. Your github userid was 'mind', and you had used that ID.
2. With no notice, github changed which persons/entities had access to/owned that ID.

I assume repos and gists were moved to your new ID? May I ask what they changed it to?

Were you a member of any organizations?

Thanks.
I don't understand why people expect privacy in public. Either when it comes making public comments or walking on a random street. Literally anyone can take a photo or a video of you, it's completely legal.

Two things stand out to me here:

(1) CrowdStrike, for all intents and purposes, failed. Russia had access to dem servers for four months after they were hired

I disagree with that. If you don't know a long term passion then obviously you can't just find gainful employment. The point of 'follow your passion' is more of opportunity and what your passions are worth to you. You don't just quit your job and launch into the wild, you make responsible decisions over time that can lead you into something that is more fulfilling in your life.

I'm glad you figured out what works for you, and I agree the mantra of 'follow your passion' is very misleading. But if we're all comfortable being where we're at nobody goes anywhere. And at the same time only following what you wanted also tends to lead nowhere.

Which career did you switch to?
Well it sounds like this is more to have a centered Reddit-like forum for open-source projects on Github. It's more for discovery rather than saving.

You could make the same argument for Reddit by saying "But we already have bookmarks on the browser."
And we as consumers care about that why? It's not my concern that providing an actual answer might get them in trouble.
A couple of points to answer your question:

1. Yes, when exercising your "right of access", companies would have to send you all the personal data they have on you, except when disclosing this information would harm others (ie: notes of your manager about your performance or the example you gave) The exception does not mean that they can blankly refuse to give you any data, only the "offensive" part must be refused. By definition, that is still considered personal data however. As M2Ys4U mentioned: inferred data is also personal data.

2. there is a case where you don't have to provide all information: the right of data portability only applies to data provided by the data subject.

3. Someone is referencing article 14 below. That is not the same as giving access to data. Article 14 specifies how a data subject must be informed about processing of his data when you've received the data from someone else. For example: you've received someone's info from a recruiter and you now want to process his data to see if this person is a valid prospect. The article works together with article 13 (how to inform a data subject on what you are doing with the data he gives to you directly). Together, these articles are the reason for 50% of the privacy notices of the last couple of months :-)
> Lardo, however, is cured pig’s back fat.

In other words a type of fat is considered a delicacy. That does not mean all fat is a delicacy, but it does mean what the guy ate could have been fairly tasty.

Also, taste has a lot to do with how hungry you are. My father had fairly refined tastes and grew up in France, but said the best meal he ever ate was an can of beans when he was really hungry in the army.

EX: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/active/11315994/Ten-things-n...

A normal man burns about 2,500 calories in a day. We burn between 7,000 to 9,000. That means supplementing your dehydrated food with slabs of butter. In the first few days of the expedition, it tastes revolting, but then your body just craves the fat content and you eat the butter like blocks of cheese.
My statement still applies. The 1% owns more than the rest of society. That is a failed state.
> If people truly wanted this, we wouldn't need a large zoning law apparatus to legally enforce it, now would we?

No. You are confusing residents with all people. Left to their own economic devices, a company will get what it wants before a person in most cases. How many companies want large, detached houses? If they truly did then yes, we wouldn't need zoning laws.
No, you still would have to explain where the equipment came from in case of an audit.
His policies are fairly anti-western alliance, which has defined America for nearly a century. It's unlikely he's a Russian agent but he certainly seems to be influenced by at least one.

I mentioned this to another commenter, but you are confusing what residents want with what people want. If companies + individuals (i.e. what makes up the economic group of "people" in an area) wanted it so much, then yes you wouldn't need the laws. You shouldn't confuse what people want with what people can/will buy or do with their money, votes are more equal than wallets.
