Second this. I'd ask that any dependencies in node_modules/ override whatever is cached.

For a work project, I'm updating a dependency written against an undocumented specification. Much fun is being had doing this, I assure you. Being able to crack open the sources in node_modules/, instrument things with logging, and fix fix fix until I get something working is very helpful. I'm sure I can track things down in a cache directory and do the same, but it's nice knowing that my changes are limited to just this particular project, and that a checkout/reinstall of the module in another project will get the original broken sources for comparison.

I didn't dive deeply enough, but I'd assume they could just fallback to classic node_modules behavior for the native packages, right? You'd not actually delete the node_modules directory then but still get most of the speed benefits.

EDIT: just saw a comment by the author that says roughly this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17977986

So, native packages will keep on working.

On the one hand your comment is callous but on the other hand it's true. 9/11 was very tough but I thought it would also cause the US (and the West) to have more sympathy with other countries who go through similar or bigger tragedies but that didn't happen.
I think this is a step in the right direction. PHP's refusal to break BC in the stdlib, among other things is probably the biggest impediment to the language being more widely accepted.

By breaking compatibility with PHP, Hack is going to be able to adapt more quickly and create a stronger language. Hopefully, Facebook will have the wherewithal to promote Hack to PHP (and other) developers, and grow the ecosystem as it can.
I mentioned it in another answer, but we'll eject the packages that require postinstall scripts - so they will work as before, but will take extra time to be installed.

As for wasm, I'm curious to hear what you think isn't good enough. I think the two main issues are garbage collection and dynamic linking, and there's ongoing work on them to fix them.

Some parts of a computer are easier to access than others. Like, it's quite easy to access the contents of a hard drive, but not so much some value stored in a particular register in the CPU. That's why it makes sense to encrypt data stored on a hard drive, but we expect the CPU to be able to handle plaintext securely.

Turns out, we should think of RAM more like a hard drive than like something internal to the CPU.

I gave up on using Inbox a few months ago as it was way too slow, and absolutely _love_ the refreshed Gmail and Calendar interfaces - I've literally been waiting for them for years.

However, I really hope that they fold the Reminders functionality from Keep into the new Gmail, as the reminders interoperability with Inbox/Keep/Cal was pretty much my only reason for using it for as long as I did. That new Tasks interface is pretty, and I get what it's doing by trying to be a bit more like Todoist, but I think bringing full-on Reminders to Gmail would make a lot of people miss Inbox a lot less, and probably get me to drop Todoist if I'm honest.
In fact, I have read his book. I'm not suggesting he is a part of some conspiracy.

In fact, as far as I know the only European states that are not part of ECHR and Council of Europe are the Vatican (since they're a theocracy...), Kosovo since it has limited international recognition, Kazakhstan and Belarus over human rights violations.

No European state that'd be eligible has chosen to voluntarily stay outside. Azerbaijan and Russia are the closest to being in trouble of the current members (Russias voting rights were suspended over the annexation of Crimea; Azerbaijan is implicated in corruption to step criticism over Aliyev's rule).

The "European states outside the CoE club" is not exactly one to strive for membership of, to the extent even a lot of Tory MPs in favour of Brexit are opposed to leave the ECHR; David Davis in fact threatened to rebel over it at one point.

>Without compromising the freedom to change operating system.

Privacy, freedom, and security advocates seem to have opposing and wholly incompatible goals when it comes to technology.

This attack is possible because the NVRAM is overwriteable.

In order to mitigate this attack, you a manufacturer would need to make NVRAM non-NV or add an security device like Apple's T2 chip. Or encrypt the NVRAM and (to prevent a key management nightmare brought about by having millions of users) keep the keys private, in which case all of the haxxors would be crying "they're locking us out of our own hardware!"

But adding a security device attacks "freedom".

If all of these raging against the machine Zer0cools were highly paid security consultants in 1981 looking to stir up business by raging against some machines, they would have pilloried IBM for implementing their (pre) ISA bus and Commodore for allowing users to PEEK and POKE into random memory addresses. The former created the entire personal computing marketplace as we know it today, and the latter enabled millions of programmers to understand their machines and make them do things the designers never could have imagined.

There was a HN article a while ago about how manufacturers were dumb and we were all going to die because of Thunderbolt and PCIe security flaws where attackers could sniff traffic on the bus.

I was just like "no shit, you've been able to do that forever, that's the point of busses and locking them down will just speed the Applefication of computing".

Back in "THE GOOD OLD DAYS" when men were men and computers were free and open they had god damned card-edge connectors sticking out of the back of the case which gave anyone within arms reach of the machine direct and unrestricted access to the CPU lines.

You cannot have closed openness.
It's hard to answer these questions because you're asking like a human engineer how another rationally designed system "works" via agency and intent. Biology doesn't work that way.

But yes: the data is signalled in the form of pools of individual molecules. The messaging system uses tags to target molecules (in some cases) or just controlled spatial relase to target the messages.

The controlling system is a complex set of genetically regulated proteins and other components.

I do agree. But every day, decisions are made that result in no prosecution of charges against "guilty" people, while others may be in prison serving sentences for the same offense. We don't vacate convictions just because there's an example of another person who was charged but not prosecuted for the same thing.

In this case, where the DA has made a blanket pronouncement that the office is not going to prosecute minor drug possession charges, I think there is a stronger argument to apply that retroactively. It seems to me like the right thing to do. But that would need to be done by a judge or perhaps the governor, not the DA. And you'd have to look at each case. There are really very few people serving significant time for simple possession. There's usually large quantities, intent to distribute, weapons or violence, prior offenses, or some other aggravating factors.
This isn't new.

If you have complete unrestricted access to a computer then its not really "an attack" is it?

Is this the end of the case or is there some future sentencing? I find it hard to believe they weren't aware the programs violated human rights law, and I'm not sure what we're hoping a court confirming it's bad will accomplish.

"I mentioned it in another answer, but we'll eject the packages that require postinstall scripts"

Sure, but you also mentioned in the PDF that the other solution was just to deprecate native modules in the long term, and that's not acceptable.

"As a data point, we encountered no problem at Facebook with adding --ignore-scripts to all of our Yarn invocations. The two main projects we’re aware of that still use postinstall scripts are fsevents (which is optional, and whose absence didn’t cause us any harm), and node-sass (which is currently working on a WebAssembly port)."

I think you're too quick to sacrifice native modules because you're not really using them.
It's said that no work of art is finished, only abandoned in frustration. Is this work of art ongoing, I wonder?
Native code has two benefits over JavaScript: it's faster, and it can call the OS. WASM is faster, but it can't call the OS. It cannot replace all uses of native modules.
> PHP's refusal to break BC in the stdlib, among other things is probably the biggest impediment to the language being more widely accepted.

PHP is one of the most widely used languages on the web. Their backward compatibility is absolutely part of that reason, too. Refusal to break compatibility may be holding it back in some technical areas, but it's certainly not hurting the language in popularity and use.

GitHub needs a 'build story'
We're still at the point where the binary (consumed) release of software(either as "github release"/docker image/npm package/OS repos' program) are independent of each other and not readily tightly coupled(technically).

To this end, I would like to see Github offer a 'build' functionality whereby the binary that is on the repo's 'Releases' page can only exist as a direct result of an action invoked on Github(viewable in the repo in whatever human readable format- "fileX")

The actual assembling & building may be carried out by trusted 3rd party who only can a) view the repo as of a certain SHA & b) - only follow instructions in fileX.

Comments & criticisms from all welcome.

Especially interested in responses by those who build releases for open source projects.
Unfortunately the web platform has failed to provide a sensible way to embed HTML content, so images and videos are how people actually share things. You can take an image and save it to your device and share it to any social media service without doing anything special. You just can't get that experience with asciinema or any other sort of rich format. It's a real bummer.

With the removal of the SE form the lineup, none of the phones that Apple currently sells fit in the average women's jeans pocket. https://pudding.cool/2018/08/pockets/

That's straight up crazy. I can't believe the market decided "ability to easily place in pocket" is no longer an important feature of cell phones. Especially with Apple's multi-decade history of telling us that thinner and smaller are objectively better when it comes to computing devices.
Well, for one, when economy isn't a factor, then academic prowess is a stronger predictor for who goes to college. Which seems more fair, and to garner more utility.

The iPhone SE is essentially non-existent in the US. Its primary target is developing markets like India where the phone is made. Most people I know aren’t even aware the SE exists.

Ah! Yes, I see now. I think that D implements closures this way? I thought you meant the closure’s conceptual stack frame.

As for commonality, the most common closures I see are:

* closures which have no environment

* closures that take the environment by move

* everything else

It’d be interesting to analyze crates.io and see though...and how much this would actually save you. I can't think of a time when the closure is only pointing to its parent's stack frame and you would box it. Box<Fn()> is mostly used for returning closures, and there, you'd be using a move closure to take the env by owner.

And even if you do unnecessarily box: https://play.rust-lang.org/?gist=c16ac5983579d52d4997b3f4425...
