A big part of Librem 5's mission is to be secure and private, but perhaps even bigger part is to be FLOSS and hackable, so one could use any host and any stack to develop pretty much anything they could on a standard GNU/Linux distro.

Locking down iOS/macOS may improve security, but doesn't give you access to the source code, does not protect you from Apple and does not free you from the limitations they've put on you as a developer, or going via their-own distribution channels for that matter and having complete control over your future if you're an iOS developer.

So it all depends on why you're exited about the Librem5, but if openness, FLOSS, hackability are any part of it, then locking down Apple hardware wouldn't do it.
Oh, I didn't know. Nevertheless a Pinebook with Vivante graphics at up to $250 would be pretty nice. If there is a better SoC with as good mainline support, all the better.

Doesn't TLS kindof have the same issues as MP3 decoding? IIRC, there are YT videos of modern linux being installed on something as old as AMD '586' processors (somewhat inbetween a top-of-the-line 486 and a first-gen Pentium) and SSL/TLS turns out to be a CPU hog.

I have seen those in multiple countries, and couldn't really say there is any correlation with friendliness.

But they do have managed to vastly improve my mood, via a different sort of mechanism: when I'm being treated rudely, I tend to linger at the machine, usually waiting for fellow passengers to clear security. During that minute or two (or five), I train my Nintendo skill on the :( face. My high score must be in the thousands.

They probably filter out such data. But maybe not–I kind of prefer not to know.

I get lots of cheeky smiles from other travellers noticing me, so the happiness even spreads. Only got yelled at by security once.

The Article the Internet Doesn’t Want You to Read
I've recently noticed Chrome (71) on Mac is now hijacking the `Command + Q` shortcut and asking if I really want to quit. I appreciate people will occasionally shut down a Chrome session by mistake, but it seems a little ironic that they're clamping down on behaviour hijacking in one space whilst implementing it in another.

(Caveat: I'm not sure if this change is being committed by a Google Chrome dev or non-Google Chromium dev)
How Zuck doesn't seem smart?

Anyways, what makes you think he's not smart?
Ah, you see, you actually only know second-generation packaging. "pip and all the bullshit [i.e. virtual envs, setuptools]" is actually what has been developed to address issues in the older distutils (and easy_install) tooling, and are fairly recent additions to Python. Buildout comes from the same era (~2005ish and was built on very different principles; it's still used in some niches.

This is why the police should be doing this. If the police refuses to follow up on these kind of crimes, it encourages vigilantism.

If it's something that ordinary citizens can solve, it's something that the police should be able to solve. It's their job, it's a crime with real victims, there's no excuse not to do anything.

And there are plenty of stories about police arresting people on trivial issues, questionable charges, there's stuff about how they shoot black people over nothing, there's civil forfeiture. But actual theft? That is what the police should be working on. If they don't, what are they for?

Chrome's “White Flash” Problem (on new page loads)
"Dark Reader" chrome extension has dramatically reduced my eyes stress on the web. If you don't know about it, go see it now: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dark-reader/eimadpbcbfnmbkopoojfekhnkhdbieeh

It gives you instant dark themes for every website. AFAIK it doesn't rely on custom users CSS like Stylish does, but it applies some CSS color inversion techniques that automatically produces incredibly good results for ANY website.

But I'm now a victim of those damn white flashes between every new page loads on Chrome. Actually I noticed these white flashes long before using this extension, as I think many of you did, but since you normally alternate between natively clear and dark-themed websites, this was somewhat more bearable (no white flash if next pages has a white background).

Is there a solution to this?
It looks like you've just invented the underground...
First thing I thought was simply modifying Chrome default CSS but this is no longer possible as "custom.css" in profile folder was removed in newer versions.

On the Chromium front, someone forked and fixed it at https://github.com/hbtlabs/chromium-white-flash-fix but Chromium never merged it because, quoting the repository:

---

What is the chromium team doing about this issue?

Issue has been logged multiple times since https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1373 Most recent progress is https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=470669

The issue has been broken down since they are attempting an algorithmic fix https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=21798

Algorithmic fix: determining what's the background color of the current page or theme page then applying it during rendering instead of choosing white by default.

---

And what about Chrome? From the same repository:

---

Why doesn't the Chrome team merge this?

Because it replaces the white by black and most websites have a white background and most people don't use a dark theme. Hence, the white flash is a non issue for the majority of users. Also, the webkit fix changes the background of chrome:// pages to black

---

I also found multiple StackExchange questions on this with many answers providing obsoleted solutions and others which rely on very inelegant hacks, like using desktop automation software to interact in the browser in a really invasive ways.

https://superuser.com/questions/580228/prevent-white-screen-...

I suspect that after "Dark Reader" there will be so many users getting terribly annoyed by this issue and a solution must be found. So with this post I'd just like to raise some attention on this: if your eyes are being hurt by white flashes too, please upvote this post.. We know many Google employees like to hang out around here. :)

GMail breaks the back button in this way. There are intermediate "pages" in the app in some cases such that hitting the "back" button puts the browser in a state that causes a replay of the thing that brought the page from which you were clicking the "back" button. This happens a lot when searching through mail.

Once you're aware of it, it's simple enough to hold the back button and then go back several entries at once, but maybe this change will remove the "when I hit back, it goes back and then forward to where I was when I hit back" behavior in the first place.

In regular .NET you can instantiate generic types with a type parameter provided at runtime.

Of course it's not something you should ever do in regular code, but it can be useful for deserialization and stuff like that, so you can create e.g. a list of arbitrary types received over the wire.

Ask HN: How to stop getting service ideas?
I’ve been successful launching profitable service businesses (a business where you create custom solutions for customers).

I then started productizing to somewhat streamline the processes.

But for years I’ve been trying to come up with a product idea. For some reason I’m stuck in a loop where I know that Services can generate relatively quick & large sums of money. But they require either lots of time or money in the case of hiring.

Every time I try to come up with product ideas, I get lured by the service business inner voice.

How do I get unstuck?

He's referring to the XDG standard [0], I think. It used to be that all persistent user-configuration resided in ~/.${appname}, but some people were unhappy with that so they recreated the etc|var|lib|tmp filesystem usage distinction inside users' home directories. This means that an application's user files are now spread across $XDG_DATA_HOME, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME, $XDG_CACHE_HOME and $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR.

> Two black people living in the same area, sharing the same cultural and ethnic identity, can differ more genetically than either with a white immigrant.

I'm pretty sure that's false. What is true is that africans exhibit a great amount of genetic diversity, i.e. two africans will typically be more genetically different than two europeans. But the genetic distance between either of those two africans and either of those two europeans will still be even greater.

> In other words, that "black" is a race, and "white" is a race, etc, is entirely a social construct, which should be non-controversial given that these categories were created and solidified, culturally and politically, long before genetic science was even a thing.

It's a social construct to the same extent as colors are a social construct, which were formulated long before the theories of electromagnetism was even a thing.

A thing being a social construct doesn't mean it doesn't describe an underlying reality. That applies to any category invented by mankind. For instance, considering plants and animals, or even living beings and inanimate objects, as belonging to different categories is also a social construct. Because, after all, they're all just an association of atoms.

On the flip side, I was traveling to/from Canada covering an IT director’s opening while we interviewed for a replacement. I was questioned at Canadian border and sent to the “penalty box” (secondary inspection) when asked why I was coming to Canada so much and responded that I was interviewing for a factory IT director position. I was interviewing as the hiring manager, but CBP was all fired up and yelled “Can’t your company find a Canadian to do that job?!” “Yeah [dumbass], that’s what I’m here trying to do.” Got over to secondary and they had a chuckle at the story and welcomed me into Canada.

My first job out of school was writing a spell checker/auto completion system. If you want to weigh predictions by the expected number of keystrokes saved. This is a bit like the opposite problem, find the longest word D that is a supersequence of S (You want to find them all, to weigh by probability), but would essentially be solved with the same data structures. I assume that this sort of problem is not particularly rare, and is unlike sorting in that it's not quite as universal, and the one line function doesn't live in the standard library, or any package that I could find. The fact that the algorithms were still fresh in my mind helped immensely.

The really tricky problem is when a package must modify an existing shared resource. Such as appending lines to an existing config for example.

This is currently solved by having applications support both a config file and a config.d directory. The primary owner (package) of the resource modifies the conf file, while secondary packages drop their own config in conf.d/${package}. Numerous examples exist: logrotate, rsyslog, apache, nginx, systemd and apt come to mind.
AFAIK, this has been the case for quite some time now. There is a menu option to disable this -
