I don't think it will be polished anytime soon. From Raph's blog:

A major focus for xi has been research and learning. For the near and medium term, I think it will be a more appealing project for people interested in learning how text editors are made and getting deeper into Rust programming techniques, as opposed to a polished out-of-the-box editing experience. Some of the biggest challenges are in packaging – keeping the front-end, core, and suite of plugins coherent and updated. This is one reason why there are no prebuilts, etc., even though we’ve seen a fair amount of demand. To be honest, I don’t have a very clear vision how to solve those problems, and am hoping the community can come together around them. Even so, I plan on using xi-editor as much as possible as my daily driver.

The actual reading of email with mu is about what's on disk. Using offlineimap is just a common configuration, and in its configuration you can specify a function, so if you wanted it to prompt you for a password whenever you get mail, you could do that. You could also just have Postfix deliver mail to your directory, then just have mu4e run the mu index command periodically to find new mail.

As for the writing of mail, it culminates in running some kind of sendmail program on your message. If you have sendmail or postfix setup locally to forward mail up to another server, you already don't need to have a password set up in Emacs. But you could also make that program do whatever you want, it just needs to be a binary that accepts certain arguments (or an emacs function that operates on the file).

And yay to the Europeans! How long has the tech world complained, not entirely earnestly, that the ad-financed, private surveillance internet is broken? What has happened so far?

Sometimes a bit of well-placed regulation, which pretty clearly separates the ethical from the unethical in general and understandable terms can go a long way in getting action rather than just hand-wringing.

Those unethical things you are doing? Guess what, they're now illegal. So go figure out a different business model. It's not optional.
Advertising is only a small portion of marketing. Probably 1/3rd of 1 persons job is spending that $3k media spend.

The rest of the team works on things like branding, identifying markets/customers, picking price points, running tables at events, writing content, working on the website, researching potential new products, understanding how current users use the products, analyzing web site traffic for insights, etc. At some places things like ui/ux fall under marketing - like making it easier for a user to purchase a product, writing manuals/user guides, etc.
Disrespective process?
You're right of course. It was a mistake for me to use the word "humiliation" in that way, especially where it would cause such confusion.

Here's my main point, reworded:

Being "humbled" is basically the opposite of being "exalted" [0]. But posting on LinkedIn a story about being recognized as awesome by some third party is absolutely a form of exaltation.

And IMO it's a particularly revolting form of exaltation: it's self exaltation using the verbiage of self-effacement.

Side note, thanks for mentioning O&O ShutUp 10 [1] this is the first time I've heard of it and it seems pretty great. You can turn off many of the telemetry and auto update 'features' and it even remembers what settings you chose and can re-apply them after an update that resets them. Honestly I'm ok with auto updates for the most part, but I'm trying to improve my privacy on devices that I use.

Problem is, the disappearing of an Interpol chief IS striking news. So it gets upvotes and stays on the front.

Apple has always allowed interpreted code, apart from a brief period in the pre-iOS 4 era. What was new in 2017 was that apps can download that interpreted code on its own, instead of being user input.

It's not surprising at all, if you are in the iOS ecosystem and you are a power user/tinkerer. Pythonista is just one of those apps. IIRC I had quite some fun running Haskell on my iPad about five years ago.

> Self driving cars will have their AI-winter time soon

I don't see this happening any time soon. There might be a contraction in highly speculative investments (i.e., VC cash) aimed at autonomous driving systems. However, even if tech never gets beyond level 2, this will still be a high-growth and high-wage field for the next couple of decades as automobile manufacturers and their tier one suppliers incorporate existing ADAS across the lineup.

And that's to say nothing of the many limited domains where level 4 is definitely doable, including closed-environment mining and manufacturing sites. As well as adjacent industries (e.g., maritime) where even levels 1 and 2 could help a lot.

Self-driving is a scorching hot fireball right now. It might cool down as people realize that level 4-5 is not happening any time soon, but a prolonged winter is hard to believe.

Well. That’s fair and I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. However I have to ask: what do you want to do on your phone?
To me the screen notch and the camera bump are frustrating design abominations.

We participate in a mass delusion where we pretend modern smartphones are edge to edge screen - but they can not be used like that. You either bulk up your phone with a protective cover or you inevitably break the screen. The super tough "gorilla" glass is not suitable for the intended use: using your phone every day in a real world environment. We all pay premium for thin, light, glass/metal, all-screen phones with notches and bumps only to hide them in second plastic bodies made in China.
Maybe that would be a good way of making cities more human friendly instead of car friendly - if you want to cross the road, just go for it and the cars will stop or avoid you. Probably not a good idea on highways and fast roads obviously.
Based on the software they pay for, I guess a lot of time is spent on writing promo emails, reaching out to journalists with press releases or similar, and other hands-on outreach versus just buying ads.
I'm guessing the answer is obviously yes that this type of x-ray would easily be able to discover / distinguish something the size of what's been described? (1mm x 2mm from what I've seen thus far?)
Sure, but that doesn't change anything.
You need two lines - data/ground, or data/Vdd. Probably whichever gives you voltage when idle.

You harvest power when data is idle. CS is irrelevant. The rough clock speed is fixed, and you can match the precise timing from the data line. QSPI actually gets you access to data in both directions with the tradeoff of only getting one quarter of the bits.

Logically, you likely only need to recognize a few patterns that are each say 30 bits long. If you could shrink this down, it would look exactly like a boring pullup.
They added another JIT too. So first pass is the AOT installation binary, but it'll JIT traces too.

As opposed to placing some rocks on the street like they do now?

Why do them wait now? Current cars stop too.
It hasn't stopped others, but I'm thinking Amazon, knowing it is their own product... just allows their site to sell just their stuff.

It is an interesting contrast, but wouldn't be surprising.
You're conflating bragging and simply talking about oneself, which the article has painstakingly distinguished between. Bragging involves imposition, i.e. forcing something that isn't asked for. If I ask someone what they've been up to, its absolutely not bragging for them to actually talk about it.

Pasting from another comment. Advertising is a section of marketing (You could get a degree in either one).

The rest of the team works on things like branding, identifying markets/customers, picking price points, running tables at events, writing content, working on the website, researching potential new products, understanding how current users use the products, analyzing web site traffic for insights, etc. At some places things like ui/ux fall under marketing - like making it easier for a user to purchase a product, writing manuals/user guides, etc.
Looking at the current news cycle, I think their huge lead is eventually going to get squandered away. George Hotz said Waymo is like Xerox PARC of Autonomous Tech. I think it's somewhere in between.They're somewhat like Fairchild Semiconductor. A lot of their great engineers have gone on to found their own companies. Be it Anton or Chris.
Tesla already has the brand firepower on its side, to unknowingly create the perception that they're self-driving tech pioneers.

Why should an intelligent citizenry judge a company based on the dietary preferences of someone working there? That sounds a lot like judging a religion based on one person's actions, and those kinds of principles must not be entertained in a fair and tolerant society.

Why should an intelligent citizenry not speak up against those who cry outrage for baseless reasons?
Similarly, on visiting the Sagrada Familia one of my first thoughts was that it was like stepping inside a fractal.
The second generation chips mentioned in the Bloomberg article were fitted inside the plastic of the motherboard. I don't think it's a stretch to imagine that such chips might be really difficult to spot. And if they aren't the natural next step for a nation state is to build an xx billion dollar fab factory and produce smd "resistors" that contain one of these chips.

I think the real trick is a real covert channel that's hard to find both analytically and via stastics/machine learning. Which is stil high enough bw.
With remasters of old titles now being economically viable, the necessary incentives for publishers are becoming real.
> software bloat

This came up on another thread here from a blog/article titled "software disenfranchisement". I mentioned that I think a lot of it is an unhealthy obsession with writing re-usable code that results in abstractions on top of abstractions piled onto more abstractions to the point where we get the infamous FizzBuzz Enterprise Edition [0] that I'm sure nearly everyone at HN has seen. We also have a problem of people statically linking massive libraries when they only need a small fraction of its code.

> user-hostile decisions that prioritize ads

Definitely a problem in mobile web browsing. Ridiculous that on a data-limited connection, ad networks still try to push video ads or ridiculous JavaScript code.

> But clock rate is truly meaningless as a performance measure when the underlying architecures are different...

Definitely true. ARM gets a lot less done per clock tick than x86. But I imagine a lot of the performance differences are done on purpose as a compromise to reduce power consumption, since ARM is so big on mobile platforms. This is entirely speculation on my part, though.

Took a brief look at Orgmode and it looks great. It also appears to be more feature packed than Vimwiki. Let me give it a shot. I'm a Vim user, so I hope I don't get too disoriented by Emacs.
Well, we're trying for a bit better than the internet default here. The combination of unsubstantive and vehement is particularly bad in a comment, plus it leads to even worse, so we ask users not to post like that to HN.

The article talks mostly about Wal-Mart, eBay, and other very large retailers, but I noticed that they also have options for small businesses.
> K8S is really a toolset for building your own PAAS.

I don't agree with this; that's one of the things you can do with it for sure, but multi-tenant isolation is actually one of k8s' weak points -- for example by default you can access services in any namespace, and you need something quite specialized like Calico and/or Istio to actually isolate your workloads. Plus you're still running workloads in containers on the same node, so inter-workload protection is nowhere near as good as if you're using VMs.

I see the big value add of k8s as making infrastructure programmable in a clear declarative way, instead of the imperative scripting that Chef/Puppet use. This makes it much easier to do true devops, where the developers have more control over the infrastructure layer, and also helps to commoditize the infrastructure layer to make the ops team's job easier, if you ever have a need to run your own on-prem large-scale cluster.
Maybe it's just my imagination, but I've noticed a real decline in journalistic standards at the BBC in the past few years. It's front page reads more like a clickbait tabloid than a serious news site nowadays. I guess even the big news outlets need to resort to clickbait to stay afloat.
mu/mu4e author here... please let me know if you have any specific questions.
I still does not understand why can't we separate out operating system from user content. It would be pretty simply just have OS snapshots that you can boot up and switch between them while having /home unchanged.
It's not an 'unsubstantive' comment. There is a very large section of users who are ardent believers in the 'Gell-Mann amnesia' effect. There are also seemingly many, many users, as the one I'm replying to and many who've posted similar, highly voted comments on this thread whose explanation for the discrepancies between the reporting on this story and the company responses amount to (in my view) to MiB but with different acronyms. I find that curious. Maybe you don't, maybe you think those users don't overlap much or at all, that's fair enough. But 'things people find curious about HN that you think maybe aren't' is not 'unsubstantive' so get of my case, oppressor!
I once worked with a bank where a server we depended on was only available from 0800 to 1500, then 1530 to 1700. I think that's the only time i've ever had to build around a computer which took a tea break.
> Gaming journos have very little influence inside the gaming community. Many of them do not quite get that "fun" is the most central reason for playing a game.

Funny, it seems to me that many gamers don't quite get that not everyone has to have fun exactly the same way they do.
You're complaints about Amazon seem to almost all apply to eBay as well though:

Counterfeits: yes of course, just as many if not more

Multiple listings for the same product with different prices: yes, it's by design!

Advertising: not as much, but it is present

Fake reviews: the product reviews on eBay are mostly useless. The only thing you can rely on is the seller reviews

While lots of folks may think the salary-to-advertising ratio here is way too high, I think it probably makes sense. I have to imagine that most of the Buffer marketing team is either creating marketing materials or promoting them in highly targeted ways. (I.e., they must be doing things that don't scale.) Moving that entire salary expense into ads would probably yield far less value to Buffer. What's more useful: an article from a well-read tech site talking about Buffer's cool features that came about from direct outreach, or some more easy-to-ignore Google ads?
Its possible they do everything in-house and use free stock images. For facebook you don't necessarily need a designer, someone can easily write search ads, and they don't do any banner/video/etc advertising.

Not how I would run it, but I don't know much about them.

What does "FO4" stand for here? Googling it yields "Fallout 4", which definitely isn't right, and I'm not sure what other keywords to tack on to get the right result.

Pretty sloppy. Anyone know if the blurred text has any interesting information?
BMCs can often also communicate on the other non-dedicated ports. It is not impossible for a compromised BMC to see traffic on an ethernet port or change its VLAN and go out on the same VLAN as the rest of the normal traffic.
That movement seems to have started about two weeks ago. I don't think it's related to this news.

I would vastly prefer to drive a car that's been tested by engineers in Michigan rather than the precious folk in Silicon Valley.
That makes sense. I realize in my use case, even if I have one device offline, e.g., working on a laptop on a flight, in most times I will be able to sync before I switch to another device, so it rarely creates a problem.
It seems that you're arguing for a different functionality of the implanted chip than the original article.

Original article supposes that the implanted chip was used to modify the boot process of the BMC in such a way that the BMC loaded its software over the network. The question is why this network activity wasn't easily detectable and firewalled off by default.

It seems that you suppose that the chip can be directly used for some sort of userspace-inside-a-VM to ring0(?) escalation. In particular, you suppose that the chip has access to main memory. Can you elaborate on what functionality do you think the implant could've had?
Android used to do exactly the same modifying my settings during upgrades. I cant believe we are living in an era when software vendors just fuck with users left and right.
That's less than a fourth of what the article says.

Copying data is sometimes faster than allocating it (and the TCMalloc-inspired Go allocator is quite quick.) Many small, allocations are inefficient in any language... There are other interesting points.

And anyway, a bump allocator with nursery will spend longer time vetting the nursery and copying long-lived objects. In Go this would not pay back, as the nursery is mostly staying on the stack without special tricks to please the escape analysis.

If you argued that Rust lifetimes system makes it easier to reason like the escape analysis would, I would agree, but you preferred to drop a tweet-size rant...
> "Was there a time when politics wasn't full of poison?"

no. politics, by definition, is the exertion of power, and that is "poisonous", in the sense that someone will not like it, and will, if possible, resist and potentially counter-attack.

it's an interesting mental exercise to consider whether or not all unhappiness stems from the application of power.
"but Waymo just isn't very good at business"

They can hire the right people but the problem might be trust. IMO, no major car company wants to deal with Google, they'll be enslaved to Google who will tighten the screws little by little.
Wow, "stressful" is exactly right. It crept up on me, but it's now rarely a pleasant experience.

Just today I'm returning something. I was trying to buy more of the sort of underwear I like. But I quickly end up in the junky end of Amazon where the same product is listed under slightly different names by different sellers and the interface gets all weird. It must have done that thing where you pick a size, then pick a color, but it automatically adjusts the size to whatever's available in that color. So I ended up with 3 2-packs of too-small underwear. And one of them came without the manufacturer's packaging, just two pairs of underwear in a baggie. Because that's not suspicious or anything. Now I have to package that stuff and haul it to the UPS store.

And I'm totally with you on the advertising. I get how they got there, with a bunch of teams optimizing short-term micro-metrics. But apparently nobody cares about the overall experience.
Those cards might be tied to your personal credit/guarantee.
