And then maintainer responds, "not on my roadmap, but patch would be welcome".

> And in that gap, you get CVEs where an issue results in security problem for the tool user, but you don't have anyone able (or perhaps willing) to stop what ever they are doing and work on it.

About time for idle users to step up and invest into their own security, right?

Sure, screw software freedoms, let's build unenforceable licenses with perverse incentives, driving NIH behaviour and contributions for sake of the fact of the contribution.

Free software is doing fine (and this gets better as mankind gets wealthier), thank you. Please don't contemplate force-feeding it.
So, sending billions in aid (finances, food etc) is considered 'looting'?

How splendid.

Yes really. Vista even with UMDF kept pretty much everything of note in kernel space; only the network looking stuff like USB drivers could be pulled out into user space. MinWin and WinRT have literally nothing to do with the kernel/user boundary.

Edit: you might have an argument on the WSL-WSL2 transition. But, IMO, that feels more like a exokernel than a microkernel since it's running on the side over Hyper-V.

They should display the APR but this is still better than the alternatives. I tried out SelfLender to build a credit score with a $500 secured loan because I had a thin file. I paid about $550 for this loan and I didn’t receive back my principal afterwards. (They illegally kept all $550 and kept claiming they sent me a $500 check.)
Node input function is broken
It has been 10 years since Node.js first release (according to wikipedia, at least). And it has been a long journey since then. We went from everything asynchronous world to everything async/await world.

but seriously, it time for us to reflect about the basics...

Every normal computer programming language in this planet has a input/output function.

When you're learning every normal computer programming language in this planet, the first thing you do is to create is a 'hello world' to test the output function and some sort of simple calculator to test the input function.

it's really the basics of every normal computer programming language in this planet!

but why node.js is different?

why do I have to do something like this:

var readline = require('readline');
var resp = "";

var reader = readline.createInterface({
input: process.stdin,
output: process.stdout
});

reader.question("Some question here:", function(answer) {
var resp = answer;
console.log("you typed " +answer);
leitor.close();
});

instead of something like this:

var resp = prompt("Some question here: ")

WHY?

I'm sorry if I'm not been polite and a bit rude. but seriously, if, every time I want to receive a input from the console, I have to google to figure out how to do that, then the problem is not mine, it's the language itself.

I'm really disappointed with node.js. I really love it. but I can't create a simple console app without googling it or importing other library.
For me personally, I'd say maybe more than a couple hundred people.

Anything that I show to more than a couple hundred people, I would have no problem releasing it to a billion people.

Over a couple hundred people may as well be public, and Id have no problem if it became public.
Who's to say the British Museum are the best equipped to maintain the artifacts? Why would you expect an organization that acquired these artifacts through violence to be able to properly take care of them, or even understand their significance? In GP's example the British are literally committing blasphemy against one of the artifacts. And this is for an Ethiopian artifact, which belongs to arguably the same religious group as the British, and is from a region the British have been aware of for more than a thousand years.

> they would probably be tucked away far from public view

IIRC for most museums the vast majority of items aren't on display either because they're not suitable for public display or because there simply isn't enough space to display them.

It speaks well of you that you took it constructively! I appreciate that, upvoted.

I won't argue with the collapsed veins I guess, I don't know if there's a way to avoid that. I didn't know that pulmonary infections were associated with heroin, thanks for the info.

The other stuff is - I presume, and you may disagree - a product not of the drug but of the contaminants and circumstances. Hep & aids from shared needles (and see my other comment, <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20165469> actually I presume it was shared needles, she was female so it may have been from prostitution). A proper needle exchange facility will fix that, perhaps.

Bad stuff certainly can happen from booze, stories like this <https://www.latimes.com/world/asia/la-fg-poisonous-mix-in-in... keep cropping up over the years from India. It's the contaminants which kill. There may have been similar stories from US prohibition but I can only find this <http://www.1920-30.com/prohibition/prohibition-poison.html> but it's actually from that age so its honesty may be suspect.

Regarding the debating style, it comes with practice - keep it up and all the best!

The term "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree" agrees with assessment that kids mimic their parents.

But I certainly would claim "always", but I would say that if parents are absent, it's less likely they will copy their parents.

Perhaps that is the key difference? My friends spend time with their kids, even if it isn't "quality time". Maybe neglectful parents can't don't pass on good traits as easily?
Trump not colliding with the Russians doesn't mean the Russians were not involved in the election. It just means he did not work with them. They could (and probably did) worked on their own because it's their own best interest to see Trump elected.
And not to mention, likely unnecessary. Even just cutting a foreign nation off from spare parts and maintenance crews is enough to ground planes, as Iran discovered in the Iran-Iraq war.

Murder is the unlawful killing of another human. Unintended civilian casualties or collateral damage in war are a tragedy but they are not murder and are almost never a war crime.
If you modify code i have written then its your code not mine. In particular im interested in ensuring my code has actual access to the platform, instead of a sandbox or subsystem that pretends to be linux, this is for security reasons as well as the desire to provide a true linux UX when running a GNU software, rather than the truncated linux experience that WSL delivers.
I also think GNU writen to avoid lowlevel calls or network functions is a reduced functionality that can pollute linux distros and gits, unless clearly marked as a WSL app.

I mean, I can understand the training request - the US has a lot more "land we don't care about people flying over at mach 1.2" than Denmark does (which means you'd probably want to train there anyways) and if that's where there's already training infrastructure setup it would make sense not to duplicate it.

And if you're going to be training pilots... Shouldn't you do it on the exact config of F-35 that Denmark's buying? Which means a Danish F-35, which means leaving it in the US.

Southern-eastern Turkey where all of this is taking place is as middle eastern as it gets. So in this context is an apt comparison.

As the open source author of a popular project (5 years old and over 5K stars on GitHub), I can relate the problem but at the same time, I think that some solutions could make the problem even worse.

There are actually two 'fairness' issues in open source and from my experience each one is as bad as the other:

1. Fairness in terms of projects getting the amount of attention that they deserve.

2. Fairness in financial terms.

If corporations start donating and drawing attention to some projects more than others, it will cause both problems to worsen. This is because open source projects which are backed by a lot of funding and have strong connections with corporations tend to naturally draw more attention and thus funding because developers and bloggers are more likely to talk, write and tweet about them (regardless of actual merit). It reinforces the importance of social connections and turns an otherwise honorable and altruistic pursuit into a social-climbing financial scheme.

TBH, I'd prefer it if corporations did not get involved at all. If they did, I could only pray that my project would get its fair share of funding. The unfortunate reality of capitalism is that some people will get very lucky but it's just not going to be you. Luck is often paid for at the expense of others; if your competitor gets lucky and walks into a pile of a few million dollars, that's very bad luck for you. Corporations already took the meritocracy out of tech startups, it would be a shame if they also took the meritocracy out of open source (more than they already have).

Open source is very far from a meritocracy but it's probably the closest thing possible to it in the tech industry and we should keep it that way. The best way to do this is to keep the big money out.
Kevin Williamson writing about tunnel repairs in NYC

https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/l-train-shutdown-repai...

"There was a terrible storm in 2012 that damaged the tunnel; repairs beginning in 2019 will shut down L Train service for a year and a half, etc. What strikes me as remarkable is that none of these accounts contains any half-serious attempt to explain to the curious reader such as myself why in the name of all that is good and holy it is taking all these years to get from Hurricane Sandy to Hurricane Sandy repairs.

Assuming those repairs are done on schedule nearly nine years will have passed between Sandy and the completion of storm repairs. That’s twice as long as it took the United States to defeat the Axis powers, twice as long as the Civil War, longer than the time that elapsed between John Kennedy’s “We choose to go to the moon” speech and landing Americans on the moon."

The beauty of it is that you can start with pen and paper. Mind mapping apps are like multi-vitamins; just pick one and go. I prefer SimpleMind for its touch-friendly UI, cross-platform support, and consistent updates, but you can use almost anything out there to get rolling.
You clearly have never dealt with people from local jurisdictions, such as from the local city government or county governments, and even up to the state.

I hate to say it, but every one of these folks I have encountered falls into two categories: 1. Recent college graduates who don't know much if anything, 2. People who have worked a government job for a long time but have little intellectual capacity to understand complex subjects.
It seems you don’t have a good idea about what a backdoor is. A tiktok app can’t spy on your email or Facebook message.

Having two very young children is especially difficult. With just one kid, it's orders of magnitude easier to keep your cool and respond mindfully. With two, sometimes I realize that the best thing I could do is separate them, but that's rarely possible in practice. How am I supposed to separate two kids who may be getting into some serious mischief, or beating the crap out of each other, while I'm watching them and cooking dinner by myself? Those are the kinds of situations I've reacted in ways that I immediately regretted.
The advice to "cross out" the offending lines has been interesting to me as of late. I bought my first house recently and with that comes a thousand signatures for all kinds of things. I ran into a few interesting cases.

1. Nobody seems to notice or care.

I did this to a bunch of minutiae, misspellings, wrong addresses, etc. They do make it into the scanned copy and as far as I'm concerned, the record. But nobody seems to notice or care that it got changed.

2. "Let's talk about it but I still want your business."

I crossed out some things about data sharing that I disagreed with on some insurance forms. I got a call days later that someone noticed this. It sounded like they had a protocol for handling it. This felt like a, "there's an option to decline but we won't show it to you; you have to ask for it" kind of thing.

3. "You just ruined this 30 page document."

Okay so she didn't say that, but she did have to make an effort not to sound irritated that I crossed out some stuff. The resolution was a polite, "this is non-negotiable by the lender. If you don't agree, then we won't be confirming the mortgage today and you won't be closing today, leading to an expensive breach in the contract with the home seller." She then re-printed the sheet I "ruined" and I initialed it.

The author is not nearly subversive enough.

The really subversive action is to start a paper trail reporting every instance of your co-workers falsly certifying in cases where they had insufficient knowledge.
That is a fair position. On the other hand, the people above your pay grade making those decisions are also deciding the fate of others. The distinction, of course, is that they have the legal legitimacy that you and I do not have.

But when those decisions go beyond the law, then that legal legitimacy can no longer be claimed, and they are just as egotistical for believing they can see beyond the lawmakers and courts. And unlike in the case of Assange, Snowden and Manning, we know their decisions have cost the lives of civilians, often children.

So as a citizen outside of the whole thing, I can only look at two groups of "maniacs" (to use your term) and be flabbergasted that we're even talking about the bad deeds of those three, let alone of only those three. If they deserve to be imprisoned for a better part of the rest of their lives, what does the other group deserve? Multiple life sentences?
> what assurances it will make in terms of privacy

The Chinese government will ensure no privacy will actually exist.
Except there is very much a difference. Being vulnerable to government pressure and being outright owned by a government are completely different things. Conflating these two is disingenuous and ignoring reality.

Turkey is part of the Middle East by any useful definition, including Wikipedia’s [1]. The parts of Turkey where these groups hail from are also the parts that are the closest to the Iraq, Syria and Iran borders.

Many, many years. Also, it's a thing in college. I don't think they talked about this much in high school when I was there. If they did, they started each book with a review, "Z is the set of integers".
It's all going to come down to what is considered a "reasonable" search which isn't clearly defined in the Constitution. What's unreasonable before a massive terrorist attack is unquestionably reasonable after. Benjamin Franklin has various attributed quotes about the inverse relationship between safety and freedom; it will be interesting to see what the courts decide as reasonable and what sense of permanence will be present in their opinions.
> Turkey is not part of the Middle East.

Err, sure it is. Geographically and politically, Turkey is associated with the Middle East. The German term "Naher Osten" (Near East, because it's not that far from Europe) described the Osman empire's area that were outside of Europe. This is the first time I hear somebody argue that Turkey isn't part of the Middle East - what leads to you to believe that?
There is an easy solution: don't support Hongmeng. It's not like your IP will be respected anyway.
It's a combination of a lot of things. Heavy drinking, gambling, lying to each other (parents), kids don't have bed times or waking times, miss school when they are too tired. Force the older kids to watch the younger kids so they can smoke, drink and talk with friends instead of watch their own kids. Kids would scream and fall on the ground when aren't noticed... the parents will be in the same room talking with friends while their kids scream at them... etc...

Keep in mind, I like these people, odd as they are, we just don't participate in much of what they do/have done that I disagree with. Our friendship overlaps a nice quiet area in life where we barbequed together, and mostly relax and let kids play or school activities. They do sometimes overcompensate it odd ways, sending their kids to camps and overly involved in sports and outside school stuff.

But they are kind, helpful, hard workers. And despite the fact that they don't do many things well, they do spend time with their kids.

Maybe there's something valuable about time spent, even if it's not "well" based on parenting experts advice?
Easiest way to make money from open source:

1. Use open source as a way to develop your skills and increase your developer profile (for example presenting at conferences)

2. Use your acquired skills and prominence to land a job at one of the FAANG companies.

3. Bonus if you your employer allows you to work at least part-time on your open source project.

In general, open source is a lousy way to make money by building a business. However, it can be very useful in building your personal brand by both increasing your skills and demonstrating your expertise.
