> if you are arguing that the choking part of the knot might get loose, then I can counter argue that regardless of how big your stopper is, still has "the potential" to go through the chocking part.

This is nuts, are you talking about a different knot?... look at it: https://www.animatedknots.com/bowline-knot part of what makes this so easy to untie is what makes it easy for the end to slip through, the first loop self tightens (which locks the second loop), but also untightens itself when load is released again. you can't fit a full stopper through, but it's intuitive to see how the end can inch it's way through the first loop as the rope is repetitively tensioned and untensioned in different positions like a rachet.

> Here is some data: https://www.yachtingmonthly.com/sailing-skills/strongest-sai.... Note that the knot did not fail, the lines did. Also, note the loads they are talking about, >1 tonne.

You are referring to a completely different aspect, failure of a _static_ line under constant or instant load in a single position, this is completely different to the potential of a knot to work it's way loose under light or zero load and has more to do with how different choices in knots weaken the rope.

These knots don't work themselves loose at the instant load is applied, they do so before when they have opportunity to wriggle around. When climbing this is the scenario every single time you use it as a safety knot, 90% of the time it's not under load but will be continuously lightly tugged back and forth, sometimes tension will be applied then released over and over, then when you finally load it fully with your weight is merely the point you _realise_ it has failed. My mind is made on this one, I have a lot of first hand experience with this knot in climbing on dynamic lines, i am intuitively familiar with it's behaviour, perhaps in your context of static lines holding down things in one position with relatively constant load it is reliable as is (fair enough), but this does not make it _safe_ for all uses.

You've coaxed me into this massive argument against it like it's some terrible knot, but this is my favourite knot.. keep in mind I am talking about _safety_, where failure of the knot means your death, the basic bowline is a very reliable knot for most uses without a stopper - just not for hanging from deadly heights, for that it has to be more than just 99% reliable, and in that case, all it takes is an extra step... but it doesn't have to be about safety it can apply to anything that is important enough, as I said in my original comment: "make sure you give it a generous safety stopper knot if it's _vital_"

> you start off by stating "it has a tendency to come undone [...]", but then switch to "it has the potential to work it's way loose given enough wiggling".

Not really sure what you are complaining about, this is pretty clear, it has a tendency to come undone... did you imagine it would just untie itself without any movement?
Interesting position.

It can't do maildir. I tried mdir:/// maildir:/// file:/// and /.

grep -R maildir of the code returns nothing.

So I guess, using it on local mail is a no go. Sad. I tried it only because this was advertised, only to be disappointed.

It's better to not advertise features you don't have. Or at least state what features you have instead of mixing what you have and have not into a feature list at random.

It's also far cry from the configurability of the mutt/neomutt. But that can change. It would certainly be nice to have a properly scriptable terminal based MUA, as neomutt, while nice, and flexible, is kind of hard to configure.
I've driven on route 1 from Mendocino to LA and I agree with you on that it's incredible.

I suspect the issue is that in Linux the copy paste comnands are specific to each application, which can be annoying when copy pasting between multiple alplications., without a lot of configuring.
Yes. I was raised to be an assertive vehicular cyclist and make proper use of turn lanes by age 10.

I’m thankful for protected lanes when they are consistent and high quality (at minimum: absolutely never shared with bus travel or truck loading) but I would not ride if I had to dismount at intersections or wait 2 light cycles for left turns.

Biggest pet peeve now is pedestrians who hang out in the bike lane while waiting for the light to change.
You've touched on one of the ways I think a country can end up with an ingrained police bribery problem.

The government knows they need a larger police force but that would cost more than the government can afford. How can you have the police force you require without breaking the bank? Easy, just pay the police poorly but let it be known that you will look the other way when they top up their income.

Once this reliance on police corruption is established it is hard to shift. Often the government doesn't have the financial means to unilaterally raise police salaries to a level that removes the need for bribes. And if salaries stay low anti-corruption drives are likely to fail as current police officers need bribes to survive. A genuine reduction in bribery can also cause police officers to quit and make it difficult to recruit new ones.

There's a big red disclaimer on this page that says the feature list is a bit wishful, and the latest version is only 0.1.0. The docs (man pages, start with man aerc) only document implemented features, you may want to start there.

Here's the ticket for maildir support:

https://todo.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/aerc2/16

Several people have expressed interest in working on this, I expect we'll see it for 0.2.0.

As far as configurability is concerned, yeah, the plan is to continue making it more customizable and configurable. Stuff like filters already afford you a lot of options today. At some point I might also be interested in adding a fifo you can use to feed commands into it from a script, too, for turing-complete customization.

Australian National University hit by data breach

Lame.
Pussy is not short for pusillanimous
My least favorite email begins with a +Russell at the top, meaning that there's been a long email thread that I haven't been a part of, and now I've been pulled in. The text below that is your standard mess of email text: 1) It's in reverse chronological order starting at the bottom. 2) Each message has 4 or 5 lines of "to", "from", "cc", "subject" and "date" in between. 3) Previous messages might or might not be repeated by other email clients 4) All with varying levels of indenting.

This has to be a common problem. Are there any libraries, projects, email clients or scripts to help parse it all into something readable? I've looked and haven't found zip. I know Slack is the new hotness, but for the rest of us stuck in email, this is a daily hell. The progress of email clients basically stopped in the mid-2000s.

I swear, the first email client that actually solves this problem will be the next billion dollar business.
ILP and SAT are quite different. ILP is much higher level in that it can define new predicates and do recursion, which have no counterparts in SAT. On the other hand, SAT is much more scalable and can be applied to instances orders of magnitude larger. I think ILP's expressiveness and lack of scalability are related.
It's good to know that the world's best email client is still a work in progress.

The Chinese government must be slathering at the mouth about this. Assuming there are some inherent advantages to large tech companies (a collection of smaller companies can't achieve the same economy of scale as one big one), then if America breaks up its large tech companies it will be the perfect opportunity for Chinese ones to fill their place. This would not only expand China's soft power but also their ability to monitor global information flows. Given that much recent development in deep learning is also funded by the deep pockets of monopolistic tech companies, breaking them up (and removing this surplus profit) would slow down US AI development relative to China.

"without turning over any of their personal data to a third-party company"

Petty corruption of the "50 rupee backhander to the traffic cops" variety is indeed unknown in Singapore. However, it's unlikely the upper echelons of power are cleaner than anywhere else, and in fact probably less so because of the concentration of power and wealth in the Lee family.

Unfortunately keeping modern software secure is a full-time job. Internet browsers are just one giant attack surface. This is especially complicated by the speed at which the implementation of new features is required to keep a general audience interested. Unfortunately, a user like my mother wouldn't care how ideologically well-meaning a browser was if she couldn't use it for watching online media.
I recently went looking for a lightweight browser for an older linux box, and it was hard to find anything that didn't either bundle Chromium or just forego having Javascript at all.
Keeping up with modern web standards is pretty much an impossible job for a team of hobby developers on the basis of features alone ( WebGL, WebAssembly, DRM etc ), let alone security.
Thank you Sir_Cmpwn, awesome that someone is picking up where mutt left off.
Looks interesting!

Based on a quick stroll through the source code, I don't see any search integration. Is that correct?

I guess I could just shell out to notmuch? But I do find virtual folders for searches really convenient. Currently using neomutt with notmuch support, over a Maildir (which in turn is separately synced via IMAP using mbsync).

Not having all the context vanish ala mutt would sure be nice.
What kind of time frame are you putting on this? Starlink needs to ramp up, and if Tesla is going to die, it's going to be sooner rather than later.
How will this service succeed where so many others have failed?

The audience, algorithm, and network effects of YouTube are what make it a valuable and viable platform for content creators. You can't put this content behind the paywall of an unknown service and expect to get anything close to similar results.

As much as I would like to see competition in the online video market, I would be surprised to see this still operating a year or two from now.
Again, perhaps it is because Apple is planning for a future where SIP and Gatekeeper cannot be turned off. A future where macOS is basically reduced/merged to iPadOS. Time will tell.

It clearly existed before the 20th century. I said it increased markedly, and researchers think this is linked to sun exposure.
There's a ticket planned for adding a notmuch backend straight up:

https://todo.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/aerc2/105

No indirection through mbsync & maildir. This shouldn't be terribly hard - if you're interested in working on this feature, swing by the IRC channel to get a rundown of the technical details.

There's also a ticket for search in general:

Which will probably be implemented for IMAP by 0.2.0.

Not only do they not meet the requirements in spirit, an argument can made that developers don't meet the requirements in the letter of the law in places like California. But they've been conditioned to take their stock options and shut up about it so it hasn't been litigated much.

Homebrew has always kept itself separate from the OS (using /usr/local as a prefix), and SIP has already prevented you from modifying OS files for several years, unless you turn it off. So I think nothing happens to Homebrew at all.

I'd say it's more similar to Javascript. In fact all of the examples are valid JS if you replace `fn` with `function`. (Although JS doesn't have implicit returns.)

At a guess, the author chose the syntax because it's familiar and easy to parse. Go's syntax is... eccentric where it differs from typical C-style languages.
From the list of 'OMG they're doing what?!' that comes up on apple, this is probably the least heinous, the runtimes they bundle are so horribly out of date no-one really depends on them being present for anything more significant than 1-2 line scripts, which could probably be rewritten in AppleScript or Bash anyway. Pretty much anything of worth always says 'First, get python from ...'
I use Apple Music + bring a lot of my personal collection into it. Luckily it also is able to sync this collection across devices.

15% when the subscription is over a year and the 30% cut only applies to digital goods so Uber, Lyft and food delivery, for instance, are exempt. My guess is these fees will continue to drop naturally over time, but they probably haven't dropped fast enough.
Insightful. Thanks
Unless you just make it bigger. They talked about being able to have 6 of the things and were showing dual monitors much of the time. Ultrawides have been demonstrating that there is demand for larger monitors. Most people who want a two or three monitor setup would probably be even happier with a single, larger monitor.

Never mess with the crow. To be fair I did absolutely nothing wrong to the crow. So I don’t know why he held such grudge against me. My mom once said that maybe the crow hatched its young and was only trying to protect it. Oh well. Lesson learned albeit a painful one.
Pretty amazing! Some observations:

- Attachments that don't have a filter can't be visualized. For this case would be interesting to open with 'xdg-open' when hit <Enter>, and/or '.mailcap' support.

- Account password is stored in plaintext

- Occasional rendering artifacts when switching tabs/folders

If those above are fixed plus theming, unread, etc. I can easily see myself using it as my daily driver.
One of the many advantages of using a hosted solution with your own domain is that you can receive email from arbitrary addresses in the same inbox. For example merchant1@inboxname.mydomain.com gets sent to my inbox at Fastmail. inboxname@mydomain.com doesn't exist, so there's no way to get my "real" email address from what I give out to merchants. If I start getting spam on an address, whoops, you and everyone you sold my email to get sent to a black hole in the cloud.
It's probably because i use xterm-kitty.
