ocdtrekkie's response is a pretty good response to your post, too. When you write in broad statements of principle, even someone from the late 18th isn't completely lost. It wasn't at all news to them that invasions of privacy represented power over the one being invaded, and given that they were already concerned with the degree of privacy invasion possible in the 18th century, it's not like there's any chance they would suddenly go "Oh, well, a little primitive 18th-century invasion by a government is an unacceptable assertion of power over people, but when you can do it at a large scale with technological precision I never dreamed of, oh, that's totally OK."

Or is the suggestion that because 18th century white people would consider the modern day Facebook an atrocity, it is incumbent upon us to submit to their privacy invasions because otherwise we're like privileging old dead white people or something, which we are far too sophisticated for in this here 21st century?
Best advice I can give - go away camping for a weekend, leave the phone or be in a no service area. Do that a few times, get used to it. Then for a week.

I believe that's a Confluence page. Confluence already has a "Retrospective" template for this occasion.
I believe what it does is economically incentivize more people to build renewable energy plants by paying them more for each kWh they generate. If you pay to cover one ton of CO2 you are raising the price paid for renewable energy, such that more renewable plants will be built, such that some future energy need will pull from those plants instead, ultimately generating the total amount of energy the world demands but with one ton less CO2 released.

I'm far from an expert though, hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
My understanding is that the chalking is mostly an aid for the parking people to keep tabs. "I just got here" can be used for any situation involving a ticket can't it? It's your word against the parking person anyway.

> and if the car moves, so does the chalk.
But the person handing out tickets would notice they moved. Or, if a person is trying that hard to evade tickets while still parking were they aren't supposed to, wouldn't they just wipe off the chalk?

Awesome info. Thanks for the response!

The qoute is from their financial sponsor...the “journalist” is not picking quotes, and they are not mocking their sponsors “ridiculous” quotes, they are being paid ...and they are pushing their sponsors brand new rental business.
Well that's terrifying, I am glad they have stopped that sort of thing!
Maybe "sabotage" was a bit strong, but the work seems to have been killed. Or is there some publically viewable discussion anymore?

It went from "rebase and I'll merge" to not a single word anymore about how it might be merged.

The Windows support thing is this: rustup/curl doesn't use Windows' own certificate store. Where employers put the TLS certificate for their intercepting proxies.

curl itself has the -k option, so the user can override the check (much, much easier than preparing a certificate bundle for curl – and since the employer intercepts and decrypts the traffic anyway, there is no security issue).

rustup calls curl without that flag. The pull request was to teach rustup to call curl with -k.

(I know that it doesn't solve the whole problem, because cargo itself needs to support it, as well)
I'm not providing a legal opinion, just my view of what it says in the news article.

I have no opinion on the legality. From a practical perspective, I don't see any problem with chalking and I think this is a mistake on the part of the court.
I've heard that cities also charge for parking because of an interesting social factor: many people will drive in circles for half an hour looking for a free spot rather than pay for parking in a private lot. Everyone driving around in circles creates more traffic. So the city charges for curbside parking, in order to make the cost more comparable to parking in a private lot, with the hope that it will lower the psychological switching cost from "finding a curbside spot" to "giving up and paying for a garage spot".
Sounds like a fishing expedition to me. If they were able to prove Apple used facial recognition in the discovery process it would be embarrassing to Apple with their new overt security marketing push. While the plaintiff's argument is at least plausible, there's no proof and Apple denies it.
Doesn't help with the tolls the GP is complaining about.
Even if this ruling is upheld, parking enforcement will just switch to using photos or license plate readers. At least in an area that uses chalking for enforcement, if your car hasn't been marked, you'll over the time limit but you can't leave immediately, you know you have a little more time. No such luck when you don't know whether your car's license plate # has already been recorded.
How are you defining "meritocracy"? To some people, it's so obvious that we don't live in one that your statement seems just utterly incredible. I can only conclude you and they must have different definitions of "meritocracy".

In the interests of not coming across as a passive-aggressive dickhead, I believe that the US and the UK (where I happen to live) are, to a large extent, meritocracies, and I think this is a bad thing that stunts (many) people's opportunities to excel and achieve. I suspect we have quite different working definitions of "meritocracy".
Of course there are practical issues in paying all of my taxes from my estate, but I can still hope that I could pay a bit more of my taxes after my death and less while I live.
If you abandon every feature a handful of users think nobody uses on any piece of complex software you will end up removing something that everyone uses.

People with opinions like yourself are why gnome software developers removed gui functionality for managing raid arrays from gnome disks with the explanation that people should just use btrfs or zfs. This left you with an easy gui to create a raid array that you wont be able to fix without learning cli tools.

https://web.archive.org/web/20140327002450/http://worldofgno...

At the time you couldn't insofar as I'm aware in the installer create a zfs or btrfs raid in 2014. Further reports of btrfs eating data were still disturbingly common and zfs wasn't in anyones official repos.

Regarding the "modern" desktop

"That might have been so if he had lived a few centuries earlier. At that time the humans still knew pretty well when a thing was proved and when it was not; and if it was proved they really believed it. They still connected thinking with doing and were prepared to alter their way of life as the result of a chain of reasoning. But what with the weekly press and other such weapons we have largely altered that. Your man has been accustomed, ever since he was a boy, to have a dozen incompatible philosophies dancing about together inside his head. He doesn't think of doctrines as primarily "true" of "false", but as "academic" or "practical", "outworn" or "contemporary", "conventional" or "ruthless". Jargon, not argument, is your best ally in keeping him from the Church. Don't waste time trying to make him think that materialism is true! Make him think it is strong, or stark, or courageous--that it is the philosophy of the future. That's the sort of thing he cares about."

What do you expect with the 10nm CPUs?
It uses the same Python interpreter, but each macro invocation is considered its own module. A later version of the crate will have the possibility to keep the context around to be re-used by a later invocation such that, for example, you don't need to import things again.
Ask HN: What AD networks are there that don't scam people?
Currently my businesses have most of the influx of new clients coming from ad networks...

The problem is that I noticed that no matter what I adjust, the flow of new clients keep dropping while my budgets keep getting hungrier and hungrier...

And every time I check, Google found a new way to scam me out of my money.

They disabled every single method you had to prevent ads from showing on mobile apps while still showing on the AdSense network on mobile web.

When I click on the top budget consuming apps on my list, every single one is some sort of scam, with user reviews complaining the apps are putting ads in front of toddlers, or that they can't do some crucial thing without clicking ads, or that the apps auto-click ads and so on.

I am tried of playing cat and mouse with google, I keep adding apps to ban list, adjusting topics, targetting and so on, and Google keep removing whatever features I used to get rid of the scams draining my budget.

So what other networks are out there? Reputable stuff, where I can advertise to engineers, hackers, and so on, not to toddlers.
Bypass in Azure Active Directory
I'm not sure that's any kind of exploit. It pops up "[website] wants to access your camera" just like any other website.
What other function would it serve in a retail area? I suppose you could argue that its direct purpose is to allow people who do not live within walking distance to visit and spend time. But unless local businesses profit from that visiting, they're not going to be in business for long and there won't be any reason for people to go there.
Spectre only allows access to the process' own address space, yes. But Meltdown works across processes, so hardware manufacturers (and specifically Intel) have definitely dropped the ball there, as well.
Find, Vet and Close the Best Product Managers
The Andrew Window Manager / Andrew User Interface System / Andrew User Environment supported remote display of windows on a workstation display before X-Windows, circa 1985. Andrew was used by lots of people at CMU where it was developed, and also externally. And a lot of the people who worked on Andrew also worked on X10, X11, NeWS, and even (much later) Java.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Project

>Initially the system was prototyped on Sun Microsystems machines, and then to IBM RT PC series computers running a special IBM Academic Operating System. People involved in the project included James H. Morris, Nathaniel Borenstein, James Gosling, and David S. H. Rosenthal.

>The Andrew Window Manager (WM), a tiled (non-overlapping windows) window system which allowed remote display of windows on a workstation display. It was one of the first network-oriented window managers to run on Unix as a graphical display. As part of the CMU's partnership with IBM, IBM retained the licensing rights to WM. WM was meant to be licensed under reasonable terms, which CMU thought would resemble a relatively cheap UNIX license, while IBM sought a more lucrative licensing scheme. WM was later replaced by X11 from MIT. Its developers, Gosling and Rosenthal, would next develop the NeWS (Network extensible Window System).

Andrew died! Andrew is dead!

How often mankind has wished for a world as peaceful and secure as the one Andrew provided.
I don't know how old you are but but moving to NH may not buy you much time. There's a fire-hose of Massholes who move there with no regard for the local culture and vote in a manner that attempts to recreate the dumpster fire they left. The idea of spending one's retirement living in the free states of northern New England is rapidly becoming obsolete.
> and "I don't know much about it, so let's kill it" is a really bad precedent.

I feel the opposite. Where user safety is concerned, if a problem is not understood the solution should not be implemented.

In an example where it's "disable security feature X", and the developers don't know the implication, would you really want them to just say "well whatever, I don't understand the implications, but let's push forward" ?
Did YOU flag it?
I'm not sure what protocol they used for remoting NeXTSTEP's native WindowServer, but I don't think it was X11. Some people did tunnel Display PostScript over X11, but that wasn't the only option and it was pretty kludgy.
I recently went through this, and tried both openshot and kdenlive and stuck with kdenlive. However, the Fedora packages were broken.

I highly recommend using the flatpaks if available. There's enough moving dependencies that it is complicated without the flatpak.
The best rumors I know of, from SemiAccurate, are that Intel is running 10nm in only one fab to debug processes that will be used in their 7nm node. While they're at it they might as well sell the output, but that's still in the undetermined future.

Here's the article https://semiaccurate.com/2019/01/25/why-semiaccurate-called-... which claims of the 4 fabs initially slated to do 10nm 2 are installing EUV equipment characteristic for 7nm, and 1 has "backported" to 14nm, a node which is capacity limited, Intel is leaving money on the table.
Ask HN: Have you started a business because nobody wanted to hire you?
Also, how did that turn out? Did your business become profitable to the point where it replaced the need to look for a job?

I'm curious if you've ever been driven to start a business simply you had little or no alternative choice for making a living.

The business could be any kind of legitimate enterprise big or small. Doesn't need to necessarily be software or tech related, could be something from more traditional trades or disciplines.
Maybe this is an unpopular opinion but I don't enjoy the burned Neapolitan pizza style.
Why Graphiti? (over GraphQL)
They didn't earn it, and it may adversely affect who they turn into as people.

Why not give it to literally anyone else? Why not give your money to me when you die? I'm sure your gut said, obviously not, why would I do that? That's how I feel about inherited wealth.
Actually being aware of the technical details of your core business is a very useful skill to have as a CEO. But it doesn't seem to actually result in any benefits with Tesla. He probably knows the limitations of neural networks but that doesn't stop him from using the tried and true startup strategy of promising the world and delivering very late. Building a car that can stop on red traffic lights is something they should have had by 2016 already. But it's 2019 and their self driving technology they have demonstrated in their demo blatantly ignores the speed limits on the highway by roughly 10mph.
I guess the author is referring to NeXTSTEP and NeWS, which both used DPS.
To be fair, the moment words "safety" or "terrorism" is involved most our current system goes to complete crap. There's plenty of exemptions in written laws for those phrases, not to mention the mentality of judges/juries and lawmakers with those phrases.

EDIT: I better add this, not against laws for safety, but thigns like the Patriot Act or the TSA (and how they fail to actually find contraband) are examples where things have gone to far "in the name of security" and they either provide little additional benefit (TSA) or IMO violate rights (Patriot Act).
Exactly. The traffic cop can just write down the license plates, take pictures, whatever is convenient. The city could use cameras and automate a great deal of the process. All without ever touching the car except for placing the ticket on the windshield when it's issued (and why is that not trespassing?! probably because by then the officer has evidence of a violation, thus curing the trespass).

Wait, what are you checking? I hope it is package signatures, not web server certificates.

For security, my normal software development environment is off the internet. I can mirror a web site, but https would be trouble.
The really hard questions are things like "are all of carnegie's depredations that he was responsible for while amassing his wealth in some sense 'worth it' if his wealth was subsequently spent on raising the standards for everyone? If so, by what metrics?"
That was a fantastic podcast and I came here to say the same thing. The thing I found most interesting was when they discussed curating social media as effectively work, making it so some people feel like they need to post that picture of the birthday/garden/pet/hairdo/etc or it didn't happen and the task isn't completed until you post.

It really made me think about how work isn't just cutting into our pleasure and relaxation times, but it is turning things that were initially created to be pleasurable into work.
If no one goes to the physical classroom why not sell the same recorded lecture to a thousand people online instead of the 100 that fit into a classroom?
Hmm. Well. Let’s see.

5th best healthcare out of the fifty states according to [0].

1st best education system [1].

7th by median household income [2].

Wow! 45th on the infrastructure list [3].

37th on inequality [4].

So, seems like you get what you pay for. My guess is that all those plains states have less people and less infrastructure to maintain in general, and with great opportunities also comes great inequality in some instances.

I did not read a word on any of the linked articles besides rank as I’m at work. But it seems interesting, and I didn’t skip over the ones that surprised me.

Yes, parental income has a greater correlation than anything else.
There's a lot of "such that..." and hopeful language there. I don't see it playing out so easily as that in the real future. And it doesn't seem to me like any of this actually reduces Cloudflare's carbon footprint. Incentivizing other people to do things has no real bearing on whether or not they will do them (see Trump's dedication to bringing back coal for example) and also has nothing to do with Cloudflare's carbon footprint.

They are grandstanding with this post. I see their technology as wildly beneficial to the planet, but the attitude that they can pollute and just "offset it" is ridiculous and I think, a major problem with how we are looking at addressing these problems.
It's fine to say "let's clear this question up" and proceed to clear it up.

It's not fine to use security as the big hammer that cannot be argued with, and then – nothing happens. At least not publically. Note that there wasn't even a word where it might be discussed.

I actually went looking for Rust development mailing lists, but found no discussion.
This is a Uniparty issue. There's several issues in the US that are always proposed by the minority party and blocked by the majority party. The reason is that neither party wants them, but both see an advantage in calling for them while in the minority.

I've been using swaywm on my laptop (XPS 13) with XWayland disabled for a few months now and have had very few problems with it. As far as I can tell Firefox works perfectly, except for some very strange behavior if I try to enable hardware acceleration.

I love how easy it is to configure via config files, external monitors work great, scaling on HiDPI displays has been totally painless. My days off fiddling with xorg config and xrandr are behind me.

I know the creator of sway hangs out here, so if you're reading this, thank you!

how can we morally justify taking money from others at gunpoint to make things "fairer"?

Perhaps it depends how they got it. If they got it by "unfairly" taking it from their neighbour at gunpoint, can we morally justify taking it from them at gunpoint - perhaps in order to return it to that neighbour? If that seems like a fair action, if we can justify that, then the principle is established that sometimes it is morally justified, and we then need "only" identify those qualifying situations.
I guess I'm still a kid then. I refuse to believe this is not possible. Even if it wont happen in our lifetimes, it's up to us to get next generations closer to it.
No Lisp runtime currently has this quality of JIT compilers, GCs, and observability.
If this caught on wouldn't the article be in 5 years "Just 10% of U.S. paper products are composted?" Is the problem really the material or is is the fact that it's single use.
Ultimately, the value prop of a tool like Graphiti or GraphQL is independent of the exact details of the wire format.

Graphiti uses JSON:API[1] under the hood as its protocol, which is a language-independent protocol with a wide variety of clients[2], and is now built-in to Drupal[3].

I designed JSON:API in ~ 2013 with a narrow purpose: to describe a protocol for incrementally communicating with server-side graphs over HTTP.

By incremental, I mean the possibility of fetching exactly the data you need at first, but then slowly filling in more data over time as a user interacts with an application.

URLs are a great "internet pointer", so when I was looking for a way to link fetched data with other not-yet-fetched data, URLs were the natural answer. On the other hand, a lot of REST APIs at the time didn't have a good way to eagerly send a whole bunch of graphy data down at once.

JSON:API's concept of linkage supports both models: a type/id pair for data the client already knows about and a URL for data it doesn't. You can even combine the two, to enable incremental refreshing of a piece of data that you fetched as part of the first request (simply by hitting the URL).

JSON:API was designed to work well with many kinds of client-side approaches, including ORMs. This meant using a composite key of type/id to identify records and not just a single ID. Over time, this has become a best practice for other tools in the space[4][5]

OData exists in a similar space as JSON:API, but JSON:API is much more tightly focused on the problem of incrementally fetching a graph of data from the server into the client. Focus is good :)

i have been going down exactly that path. i found a platform for collaboration and document management that i thought was awesome. i didn't create it, but it was GPL licensed and i tried to get people to use it. no luck. i eventually added a REST API and use it myself as a development platform for building websites.

so now i solve peoples problems using the tool that solves my problem.
