Since the application is useless without a specific set of hardware peripherals, it seems impolite to clutter the ports namespace and add tasks to OpenBSD infrastructure. The software is only useful when run on an instance of a specific hardware appliance.

Also, since the application may have its own security flaws, it would be ideal for my org to have our own package server and signing key to serve the application in packaged form, so that critical application updates can be published independent of the OpenBSD release schedule. It would not be hard to configure each appliance to trust the 3rd party package server at manufacture time.

This use case is well covered by something like a ubuntu's PPA infrastructure, which avoid namespace clutter while allowing 3rd parties to securely provide packages with independent update schedules and explicitly avoids the assumption of support from distribution developers.

I really like OpenBSD as a user, but there doesn't seem to be a good supported workflow for OpenBSD as an appliance.
I was the first full-time engineer at the previous company that I worked for. We were acquired by one of the companies mentioned in this article. During the acquisition, employees were given the choice to simply not join the acquiring company. I pondered on it a lot given my ideological beliefs and stances. For practical reasons, I decided to join while a close colleague opted out…looking back, for a number of reasons (first-hand knowledge/exposure/experiences that I prefer to not dive into), I wish I had done the same.

This was a bit of time ago and I am no longer employed by said company.

I applaud these students for standing up for what they believe in.
I'm just guessing the talk with the kids might have gone a little different than what was recounted. Sounds all rational and even-tempered. Perhaps some scolding or yelling was involved. We always remember ourselves as being perfectly polite in recounting stories.
I think you're burying the lede. You do finally mention, in the seventh paragraph, that your problem with existing browsers is that you have too many tabs. Your solution, apparently, is "spaces", a word mentioned zero times in the article -- just the name Space Browser, and no suggestion of how spaces work.

It would be more interesting to discuss the UX factors and why you think that is a sufficient diffentiator from existing browsers. Just "I wrote a browser and I hope it competes" is a far less interesting story.
Yes, but not on its own, that I am aware. High accuracy GPS is is based on a combination of GPS satellite data itself with real time or post-processed positional correction using references stations which themselves are placed in a known surveyed location.

In the US, 60 cm accuracy is often possible with nothing more than WAAS corrections. 10 or even 1 cm accuracy is often possible in real time with access to an RTK network.

Personally, I've found that the tastiest way to go vegetarian is by completely restructuring how I plan my meals.

American food tends to revolve around meat, whereas food in other cultures treats meat as more of a side dish (if it is eaten at all). Indian/Bengali food, Middle Eastern food, (authentic) chinese food...pretty much anything besides American food is very easy to "veganize", since vegetables and legumes are centered more in the meal.

I like this blog for ideas - https://www.vegrecipesofindia.com/south-indian-breakfast-rec...
> At least in the USA, this could in principle be fixed by ending the corporate welfare state. Old news, but All major industries like the beef industry get huge tax breaks, free water and other giveaways at the general taxpayer’s expense.

That one hadn't gotten significant attention yet (and it's been longer than a day) so the duplicate software passed it over. But we've merged this thread into the earlier submission and let it take over this slot.
Because the value, as presented, is wrong. "[but it's being used for] non-scientific, non-metrological purposes" which doesn't change that it's the wrong value.

Imagine, for a moment, that someone uses these values to put up a fence. Is the fence on their property? Those crap values beyond the actual significant digits of the measurement may tell you that you are, when you're not. That will cost you time and money down the road.

It's not quite that simple though. China has 4x the people as the US, so even consuming half as much meat per person, they'd still consume twice as much meat.

>One thing the article got wrong is that the Hacker News community is not limited to Silicon Valley.

I thought the article was pretty clear that Hacker News user base is predominantly North America and Europe, not just the valley?

I don't have any data to back this up, but based on the sources that are posted and gain traction in the community, I suspect majority NA & Europe is accurate. But that's just an observation based on my personal experiences that different regions of the world view information sources differently in terms of reputation and trust.

In the 1950s and 60s wealthy car enthusiasts would (pay other people to) drop the new state of the art big v8s into pre-war luxury cars, coupes, etc. etc.

This is just the modern equivalent. I'm not sure why the BBC is publishing an article about it. The general idea of dropping in a modern power-train with more power and less maintenance has been "a thing" for as long as some rich people have liked classic cars.

Considering these cars only get used on weekends with clear weather, nothing else planned and rarely get driven more than a couple hundred miles at a time (for a bunch of reasons that should be immediately apparent to anyone who has driven a classic car daily or long distance) electric conversions make perfect sense. With gasoline engines these cars tend to be magnets for lack of use problems. Converting to electric also makes good cores more available to the people who want originality while making the converted vehicle more conveniently usable for the people who want that so it's a win all around.

To me UI improvements are quite low on the totem pole of “things I wish my browser did/didn’t do”

For one, we still don’t have sufficient privacy on any major browser. Even Chromium, FireFox, and Brave don’t cut it.

> Power Users

Second, scriptability, headless, and Unix-like pipeline integrations without having to use headless chrome and puppeteer. With Phantom gone, it seems we have no choice.

iOS-only WebKit with a neat tab interface doesn’t strike me as a “power user” browser.
>Why should the government limit my freedoms?

Government consist of people, because to this group of people, its in their best interest, its ethical for them to not allow rape.

Does the government care about this rapist freedom ? No, in their perspective its wrong.

So whichever side that can force other to comply (persuasively or physically) get to decide the ethics.

In the case of rape, the government get to decide whether you can rape.
I think the trick to reducing food prep labor is larger batches. Maybe that means you eat the same thing 4 or more times in a week. Or maybe that means you freeze some of it for later. But it doesn't really take any more work to make a 3x batch of lentil stew than it does to make the regular sized batch.
I largely agree.

Although I do find the scenario of the kernel evicting mmapped pages causing performance degradation to be interesting and sounds plausible, but I haven't personally witnessed this behavior.

Where I see swap tend to get especially detrimental is with GCed processes. I've spent significant effort tracking down long GC pauses to getting blocked on swapped pages (although the software was not optimized and responsible as well and this was spinning rust). But in line with the article and your comments, this depends on engineering the system to have headroom.

IIRC processes that use more than a NUMA node worth of memory also run into some issues with the OOM killer with swap disabled, unless set to interleaved on the NUMA policy. So that's another thing to look out for when dropping swap, although I forget exactly why it happens.
Agreement on the decimal places. But honestly, why would you commit to using GPS as the end means of locating in Australia when you'll be noticeable off in 20 years and outright inaccurate in 100?

I don't necessarily disagree (in the sense that all models are wrong but some are useful) but to play devils advocate, its damn near impossible to claim a model will work indefinitely on a subset of problems if we don't know it's underpinnings.

Its like saying software has been tested completely when we really should be saying its passed a subset of test cases out of the complete set of possible scenarios.

The only way we can make that claim is if we can interpret the model in a mathematical proof.

Who wins in any civil war?
I'm in a country that currently seems to move towards some kind of internal conflict, or civil war.
Our political leader has been against imigration from when she started until 2010, something must have happened between 2010 and 2015, because she turned around 180 degree and decided to let in everyone, no background checks, no visa, etc.

Four years later(2019) statistics say it's been more peaceful than 2014, but the crime we see and hear most are pretty violent, even if crime statistics went down.

Police force has been weakened over the last few years so they can't really deal with the violence that's out there.

Following that line, I came to the conclusion that this is happening on purpose. Let in strangers who have more experience with violence than the existing population, weaken police, watch it all burn down - that's what it feels like.

Now I came to the prediction that this will lead to some violent outbursts in the next few years and that will require to either strengthen police with more officers, or militarize (so comming violence will benefit weapon manufacturers).

Any Ideas on this? It's hard to google this, because everytime american civil war comes up.

I have added the missing info in my repo but frankly, I'm not well-versed in writing compiler, even years of knowledge in programming with various programming languages.

My intention is to encourage the community to come together and collaborate on a new language that is easy for anyone to pickup but will need community to be the decision maker to build and evolve the language.

My opinion is Rust can be challenging for the average programmers to adopt, some might not like Go's syntax and GC. Steel could be somewhere we could write coding as solid as steel.
Employees often get paid a small bonus for each patent issued with them as authors.
Yes, you can do all that in JavaScript using libraries. But in how many of your projects ARE you using all this? That's the question. And what are the steps you have to take and the cognitive load to make sure all the libraries you're using adhere to these conventions, and all the people that contribute code to your project also use the right paradigms?

When all these things are baked into your language, you're free from all the worries and cognitive load to make sure everything works as you expect it to work.
Yes, but don't assume I can just put the whole purchase price in an investment. The comparison is between buying and using Uber.

In my case it came down to $242/mo vs anywhere from $360 to $480/mo with Uber. It's not clear to me that had I invested the purchase price the 7% return would be enough to make up the difference of $120-240/mo. Certainly not in the first year. I'd have to do the math to see when the breakeven point would be where that initial investment is yielding more than the extra cost of using Uber.

There's also the fact that 7% is the market's return, which is over a 30 year span. On a 10 year span, the rate of return is highly volatile, and could even be negative (on the flip side, could be a lot more than 7%).

I just ran the numbers, BTW. With my purchase price, invested at 7%, I break even after 7 years (just about the time I owned it) - assuming Uber is the upper bound of $480/mo. At the $360/mo cost I'd break even after 3-4 years.

I didn't take into account the sale price, so that would make the breakeven point a little farther.

There's plenty of ways to enter in many buildings without "working there". As long as the physical security there is lower (and there's a ton of reason why it could be) or that it's already open to the public.

That only give you physical proximity. Unless they have bad wifi securities like that article said... that won't give much. People don't talk about password regularly ;).

That's just hoping right there, Windows autorun hasn't been a thing for a long time, an USB keys that open a terminal is freaking obvious and most people know not to plug any random USB keys. That most probably won't works for any high ranking official.

Almost no one talk about making sure windows doesn't see keyboards though... or even screens, and you'll see that usually, people with higher ranks do have windows closeby ;) (the perks of the ranks).
Fraud (in the UK at least) requires an intention to gain for yourself, so he would probably be alright.

In spite of the video, when the time between blocks is big enough most of the time there is a clear winner and there are not long lived forks. (Except the cases when the blockchain was forked on purpose.)

The part about exponential complexity does not make sense.

It is also weird that they draw a blockchain where the nodes forks can collapse later. Bitcoin can't do it, but Ethereum has something like that with uncle chain rewards. I'm almost sure that part of the graph it is a lucky coincidence, not a deep understanding of the different chains.

seL4 is just the kernel. Linux can have software with a range of licenses in userspace, so can seL4.

A system based on seL4 would be built as a bunch of services running under seL4, rather than by modifying seL4.

Batteries fail on a predictable schedule. You can either design your whole battery-powered product to fail roughly when the intrinsic battery fails, or you can design the battery to be replaceable.

Apple is trying to have the cake, by designing a product with a longer except-for-the-battery service life, and eat it too, by making the battery intrinsic to the construction, and not easily replaceable. These are incompatible goals for product lifecycle. Either you make cheap garbage that may break before the battery fails, or you have to account for repairing or replacing a failed battery in a product you have not owned in any way ever since you sold it to the consumer.

The consumer-friendly way to go about this would be to offer OEM-blessed battery replacements by sanctioned professionals AND sell repair parts directly to anyone who wants to buy them AND publish specifications for 3rd-party replacement batteries AND publish instructions on how to replace the battery AND write your software to detect and report incorrect installation or out-of-spec replacement parts, while also actually accepting any repair done correctly with in-spec parts without complaint.

The "issue" is that the current software is essentially saying, "we know everyone in the world who can properly replace an Apple battery, and whoever it was that replaced this battery wasn't one of them". Rather than offload the cost of their brand protection scheme onto the consumers, they could write their word trademark and mfg date to the chip in the battery, read it from the phone to report as part of battery health, and prosecute battery-counterfeiters in civil court, on their own dime, rather than using some bullshit para-DRM scheme.

The problem is that vehicles in general cause negative externalities that the people driving them don't pay for, namely: Traffic congestion, localized pollution, and global pollution (CO2). FHVs are definitely susceptible to this phenomenon. Here in NYC we're having to implement a congestion tax in Manhattan to reduce the number of vehicles on the roads.

Admittedly, it is probably better to charge all vehicles for entering the most congested areas by their size (i.e. trucks pay more) than it is to pick and choose by artificially limiting just some types of vehicles while allowing unlimited numbers of others.

Maybe the reason has changed though... why did they say this back then?
People have this idea that when you take a measurement, you have so-and-so number of significant figures that are probably correct and the rest are just pure noise. But that's not how measurement error works. In the real world, physical measurement errors are more-or-less normally distributed (we don't have to argue about the "more-or-less" part because my argument here holds for any distribution other than a uniform one). Let's say your measurement gives you a latitude of 45.73490534578° with a standard deviation of 0.00001° (that's about 11 meters). Those last few digits of your measurement are almost certain to be wrong. But does that make them meaningless? No! Because if your measurements are unbiased, then slightly more than half the time, 45.73490534578° is still going to be closer to the true value than 45.7349053457° is. By performing significant figure rounding, you aren't throwing very much information, you may not be throwing away any information you care about, but you are nonetheless throwing away information.

> Maybe I missed it in the article but ... why should we be talking about LinkedIn relative to the other platforms? It is just a site with very a specific use case that isn't what the other sites do.

LinkedIn is interesting because it has a notion of identity and social norms based on rewards that enforce reasonable behavior. The content does not pose a threat to democracy (for example) and it's actually very helpful for professionals. I depend on it and use it every day. At least some of this is not the use case but the structure of the social interaction and how behavior is tied to real-life consequences.

It's worth looking at why LinkedIn is this way and other platforms are not.
