Going to piggyback on this comment, sorry I am a few days late.

Where did you get your masters? I have an EE & CS B.S. from RPI plus 3 years of application development experience in the Fin Tech industry. I am strongly considering swapping industries to Embedded Control--that is what I enjoyed most in college--but I am unsure how to break into the industry. Do you recommend a masters or just sending some apps out? I have a good deal of C++ and micro-controller experience, but none commercial.
In case you don't understand the downvotes: previously on Hacker News, people (including, but not at all limited to, Ginger Bill and Andrew Kelley) got upset with V's creator for writing a lot of pro-V propaganda in advance of releasing code implementing the claimed features and indeed, in advance of releasing any code. Those threads are a fun, if tense, read, just search HN for "V programming language".

"In Aether, spam prevention is accomplished by requiring proofs of work".

Now, I recognize that regular e-mail uses proof of work as a spam prevention measure these days, so I don't want to be too harsh on a decentralized alternative.

That said, I've watched the energy expenditures of Bitcoin etc. with alarm, and I've become very concerned about the sustainability of anything using proof of work if it should become popular. Fundamentally proof of work makes people waste energy in order to accomplish tasks such as sending messages, at a time where we need to use as little energy as possible to reduce emissions.

Have you considered sustainability at all with Aether? Have you considered any alternatives to proof of work for dealing with spam?
>Applications that perform DLL injection or modify PEB or to try ring 0 escalation can already be detected in some forms by heuristic anti virus.

Process hollowing is a last resort. You can get pretty far by exploiting chrome/firefox (with their multiprocess architecture), or by using common command line utils like curl/wget.

>Think of security as a whole instead of debunking a utility because it fails to prevent other types of exploitation

If you understand the limitations, great. However I don't think most users do. As it stands now, using such programs is closer to security by obscurity than any serious security measure (eg. ublock or noscript[1]). The only reason they haven't been bypassed is because the install base is small and isn't worth the effort.

[1] technically it's still possible to achieve arbitrary communication and/or code execution, but the blocking features can't be bypassed.
On the cheaper side on the spectrum but not quite as cheap as TripMode, there is Vallum: https://vallumfirewall.com

I've been using it for years and the only feature I miss is domain/subdomain blacklisting.

If there is no need for such a granular control of outgoing connections for any given application, there's also the no-cost and open-sourced LuLu: https://github.com/objective-see/LuLu
God I miss the days when I could tell what a port was capable of by looking at it.
Wuh? They can release the 2018 iPad Pro with USB-C but the late 2019 iPhone 11 still has Lightning. But don't worry, the next will be USB-C?

We shall see.
If that were the case lobbying would not cost billions of dollars.

Lobbying doesn’t have to be bribery, but in America it absolutely is.
Nice dinners, catered events, golf meetings, game.tickets, 'free' staff to work on projects isn't quite bribery.

A wink and a nudge showing that politicians and senior staff can have a job making millions isn't quite an offer either..no one would.be so gauche. But it sure gets close.

You can also just forgive debt, or anonymously pay it off.

There is no bribery, but I guess the practical difference seems pretty tiny.

Why not? In speech, pauses between sentences are longer than pauses between words... I've never understood this debate.

But then, I'm the kind of guy who will write prose like

If apps on personal servers can’t collect data, then they will need to charge money in order to have an economic incentive to support the app, ship updates, upgrade UI, etc. If there is a competing “free” option then from a centralized monolith, then it’s going to be very difficult for the PCC app to deal with.

Paid apps are also inherently less viral and can’t tap into network effects as well due to the friction resulting from payments. In order to overcome this, PCC apps need to develop a viable revenue model without putting a paywall.

I see the PCC model work for applications where neither the consumer and the business want to store sensitive data because the security overhead is too high.

E.g. trading bot that doesn’t want to store user’s API keys. In fact, running private servers is something that is pretty common in that world.
Corruption has already massively improved since the heydays of the 60s and 70s, so I doubt your cynicism.

But of all the industries, big planes should be among the easiest to clean up: there’s only two participants in this prisoners‘ dilemma, and they are both, theoretically, under the purview of rigorous enforcement in countries governed by law.
Looks promising and I haven't found an obvious pitfall (designs that I don't like) except the coupling with LLVM.

I wonder if there is any feature that makes it unable to be translated to efficient C and therefore preventing it from bootstrapping with a C backend like Nim and V. I'll look forward to the self-hosting compiler.

I can name just as many "serious programming language" implementations that use recursive descent or migrated to it because a parser generator turned out to be a bad idea after all:

Java, MSVC, GCC (after 2004), Clang/LLVM, ICC, C#, PowerShell, V8(JavaScript).

They force you to write a declarative grammar which a human can understand

It's a separate language that also has to be learnt, an extra step in the compilation process, and the difficulty of debugging parser-generator-generated code cannot be overstated. A recursive-descent parser written in a programming language is easily understood, debuggable, and does not incur any extra complexity.

Perhaps that is where the "no serious programming language" argument comes from --- the migration away from parser generators is a sign that the language has received enough attention such that the limitations of a generated parser become prominent.

That is an order of magnitude exaggeration.

I've more faith in the bat origin theory than the others so far.

Don't know if the science is solid, but given how riddled bats are with all kinds of nasty stuff, you probably don't want to be eating that unless you're particularly keen on developing an exotic disease.
"you can substitute "US" for almost any other country. Russia starts militarizing space: US and Britain follow suit. Someone is inevitably going to be the first one to do it."

This argument would be more convincing if Russia was the first to escalate, but they weren't. Yet again the US took the lead.

Even if Russia had been the first to escalate, the US could respond in all sorts of non-military ways before resorting to a military solution.

This also ties back in to many other aggressive actions the US has taken, arguably since WW2. If it didn't keep squandering its political and moral capital, it would be much more persuasive to the world at large in leading the way to peace. Instead, its self-serving aggression is resulting in ever more polarization, paranoia, and enemy-making. It would be bad enough if the US was simply digging its own grave, but it seems to be intent on digging a grave for everyone.

This is truly madness, and I don't see it ending in anything but a global fireball, especially if everyone keeps insisting on throwing more gasoline on the fire.
No. The majority of the large scale social support systems were made during and immediately after WW2. Those systems paid for universities and education for boomers. They paid for the retirement of boomers (or at least their parents, we’ll see how things turn out). They increased wages for boomers.

Once they got all their support and started paying taxes boomers started reducing social services so that they could pay less taxes. The retirement age is being increased, but always with a decade or so delay so that it doesn’t affect boomers, just every subsequent generation.

You say you have your kids a great start? Cool. That was possible because of the support and government systems you voted to destroy. Your kids may have got a “great start” but they’re already far behind you the moment they leave home.

Good job.
I believe the project may be dead -- https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch/issues/259 -- but I see there has been some activity since then.
Solid worries me because the apps don't run on your server. That means Solid apps can do all kinds of bad things and your only recourse is to stop using it (if you even know about the badness). For the same reason, Solid's privacy expectations aren't really enforceable; apps could mine your data and you'd have no way of knowing and they could cache your data even after you withdraw permission.
If you’re an expert in this area, it would help everyone else if you compose and put up a top level comment explaining things. It could get upvoted to be among the first few comments, steering the conversation accordingly. Replies to specific comments with limited information won’t help as much since they won’t bubble up.
I‘m not the proverbial fanboy (pun entirely intended), but I seem to remember similar headlines for just about any new MAC of the last two decades. And the issue often seems to be caused by the initial run of the Spotlight indexer.

The author could have also maybe taken a look at what’s actually causing his problems with a simple click on the standard-issue system monitor. Not doing so is either disrespecting his readers, or just gross incompetence of the kind that doesn’t go well with his long-winded claims of being "professional“.
I think it depends on how you frame it. "If we could just add this one feature, we could get rid of these five crufty features that I think are obviated by it" is a fairly common sentiment in my experience.
Same here. I pretty regularly use my 16” to play games and compile C++; I’ve never noticed the fans operating higher than normal. The author mentioned external monitors: I have it plugged into an LG27850-W (27” @ 4k UHD) and it’s never been a problem.

The one thing that does bother me: I have a hardware USB switch that Catalina doesn’t recognize properly (works fine on Mojave).
that API is such a mess, though.
When a corporation is convicted of a crime rather than merely breaking the law in a lesser way, what do you think is the appropriate punishment? I'm not sure myself, but the imbalance in consequences vs an individual convicted of the same crime does feel quite wrong to me.

Messaging already is decentralized in that a number of open protocols can be independently implemented.

It’s possible right now to clone a fully functioning XMPP stack from Github into Kubernetes in a day.

What’s constantly leading us to centralized platforms is the political ownership model.

A new protocol isn’t going to avoid the social gravity that comes with being a popular implementer who is then anointed with unelected political weight in exchange for changes in law to help them hang onto power.

Engineers could stand to meditate on how ideas like DRY can be applied to more than just coding.
The saying is cute, but it's important to note that the frog had to be lobotomized to stay in despite the slow change.

I dunno, if society want to continue using it's phantasies of "corporate personhood" which allows companies to do illegal and/or criminal things while somehow protecting the actual people who made the decisions that lead to them, why not "imprison" companies like this?

If, for example, _I_ collected and then gave away to a business connection personal information on 87 million people - you can bet I'd be fined more than ~1% of my nett worth for it, and probably spend time in jail too..

Companies continually getting away with shady shit with zero or insignificant consequences are the "cause" of such "revenge phantasies". Suggesting ways to stop that seems like a valid thing to work on...

This is a very valuable point.

I think [0] that a better approach, one that’s more likely to lead to a profitable business, is to flip the strategy around. Instead of “Do customer interviews, sniff out a problem, and build a solution”, it can be more effective to find the customers where they hang out (online is ideal), observe the problems they complain about, and crucially observe what they already pay for.

For one, it avoids the natural bias they’ll have while answering questions (they’ll very likely tell you what you want to hear to try to be “helpful”).

For another, it helps you create something they’ll actually want, and pay for, by fitting in with their existing habits and worldviews.

Going into a conversion with the idea of “I need a problem to build a SaaS for” is only one level better than “I need to validate that they want my idea”. The format of the solution is already pre-decided — which is no good if they don’t already pay for SaaS. That’s an uphill battle you definitely don’t want as a solo founder! “If I could just make them see how great this is...” is a rocky start for a business plan.

Choosing an audience you know and already understand is a big advantage. Picking one you aren’t part of is harder.

You don’t need to be new and unique to be profitable. You don’t need to invent a new kind of product or solve a problem that nobody else has solved. All of that just makes it harder :)

[0] I think this because of Amy Hoy and Alex Hillman and their 30x500 class that teaches this approach. Not my own invention :) I’ve had success with it though, and other have too, so I want to give credit where it’s due. They have a lot of great free material at https://stackingthebricks.com
Keep in mind that Wirth is a "simplificator": given any task, he'll try to take the simplest approach (as an example see his talk for his 80th birthday and his remark on the complexity he saw at Xerox PARC which drove him to design Oberon). His languages are even designed so that they are easy to implement. Intermediate representations might be what many compilers use nowadays, but they are not necessary to write a compiler, thus they're out - sacrificed at the altar of simplicity :-).

This kind of “Gmail Beta” thingy that makes the service a premium and doesn’t allow people to join in good faith is why I didn’t join said site. I once waited there for an invite on chat, was polite and everything, but didn’t get invited. I also didn’t see many comments on most posts there. So the exclusivity, as I saw it then, was a drawback to the quantity and quality of the site and discussions. I’m no longer interested in begging around for something that wouldn’t be as valuable as HN.
I have a Nektar Pacer MIDI controller and was able to find a web-based programming interface for it. https://github.com/francoisgeorgy/pacer-editor

My point is that MIDI is not necessarily synonymous with “audio”.

> Did the overview effect turn any astronauts in to pacifists?

Well, I can't speak to that specifically. I am not aware of any astronauts who declared themselves as pacifists. However, it sure seems like a catalyst towards unity and pacifism when reading the quotes.

The fact that so many of the experiences are attributed to ex-military astronauts is also significant to me. I would expect independent civilians to be even more open-minded and verbose about their overview experiences.

Some interesting quotes on the subject:

> Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 astronaut: “You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch.’” [0]

> Neil Armstrong, astronaut & moonwalker: “It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn’t feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.” [0]

> Edward Gibson, astronaut & Skylab 4 pilot: “You see how diminutive your life and concerns are compared to other things In the universe … The result is that you enjoy the life that is before you … It allows you to have inner peace.” [0]

> Anousheh Ansari, space tourist: “The actual experience exceeds all expectations and is something that’s hard to put to words … It sort of reduces things to a size that you think everything is manageable … All these things that may seem big and impossible … We can do this. Peace on Earth — No problem. It gives people that type of energy … that type of power, and I have experienced that.” [0]

> Shuttle/ISS astronaut Ron Garan: “When we look down at the earth from space, we see this amazing, indescribably beautiful planet. It looks like a living, breathing organism. But it also, at the same time, looks extremely fragile … Anybody else who’s ever gone to space says the same thing because it really is striking and it’s really sobering to see this paper-thin layer and to realize that that little paper-thin layer is all that protects every living thing on Earth from death, basically. From the harshness of space.” [0]

> “From space I saw Earth—indescribably beautiful with the scars of national boundaries gone.” ~Muhammad Ahmad Faris, Syrian Astronaut (cited in Hassard & Weisberg, 1999, p. 1) [1]

> “If somebody’d said before the flight, 'Are you going to get carried away looking at the earth from the moon?' I would have say [sic], ‘No, no way.’ But yet when I first looked back at the Earth, standing on the moon, I cried.” ~Alan Shepard, NASA Astronaut (cited in Nardo, 2014, p. 46) [1]

No such issues with MBP 16" here, unless of course there's a misbehaving process. I have noticed Catalina's new iOS device syncing can spin out of control if the device being synced disconnects or goes out of range before finishing. There's an "AMPDevicesAgent" or similar process that pegs the CPU at 100% when this happens and wreaks havoc on Finder, Music, etc.

It's definitely an issue that the sha256 checksum check was broken.

But, can someone explain why a person who is MITM'ing ipk downloads would change the package and not the checksum?

Are there GPG signatures of the package checksums signed with a key that ships with the release?

Are package repos downloaded over HTTPS? Is there a CA bundle in the release with which repo x.509 certs are validated?

Because anything which currently involves humans in tin cans in earth orbit happens below the van Allen Belts, which is one point the non-believers are holding up.

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

Their point being to cross the Belts in tin cans even going fast would have toasted them nicely and afterwards being toasted further by having no protection from cosmic rays or solar winds at all.

Which won't happen if you stay in LEO where every human space flight happened afterwards.
