> One of the problems that CPython has struggled with over the years is its C API for extensions.

Honest question: is there an example of a language that does C extensions well? As a professional programmer, I have worked at different times with C extensions in Node.js, Java, R, and Erlang, (in addition to Python). Erlang and Node.js were maybe ok, but had their own challenges.
I know. I probably should have said “were” as they are much less common now due to the vaccine. The point was that they were safer than not getting it later in life before we had a vaccine. My mistake in wording that.
That is why I said "Linux-like". Redox has a microkernel design, which presumably makes writing the drivers in Rust much easier at the expense of some throughput and latency.
Microsoft copied its new Windows Package Manager from AppGet, claims developer
Sorry but refuting an argument you think is a straw man fallacy requires more than providing a link to Wikipedia.
But then you can't do anything with the changes, right? Like Inspector, it's all lost when you reload the page.
Pretty sure the NSA has been using similar tools for at least 10 years now.
Except it does all the time. There are innumerable differences between the OSX, BSD, GNU, and other versions of common command line tools. There are plenty of cases where `jq` will or will not be available. Finally there are differences in how `/bin/sh` will interpret things (which there shouldn't be) depending upon underlying shell is running ksh, zsh, bash, dash, etc.

It's a difficult question and I welcome the President's move because it will contribute to us with finding an answer how to deal with this kind of problem.

Even though I don't think there's a mail vote fraud / the vaccine causes autism / the pandemic is planned etc. etc. but he has a point.

> The results were published today in the top scientific journal Nature... The team used the CSIRO's Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), — an array of 36 radio telescopes in the Mid West of Western Australia.

I’m disappointed to see that this important public research was gleefully published into a closed private access journal.

Especially considering that science like this is likely all publically funded.

Where should have this been published if they were committed to Open Access?
America also had the financial and military support of France.
> Powerful psychoactive substances shouldn't be taken by people who are not mentally 'balanced', meaning just fine, happy with themselves or similar.

Agreed, but part of the problem is that they're often framed by their proponents as a miracle drug that can cure you of depression, anxiety, and fear of death. So people with those problems will often self medicate with them.

And for some people, it totally works. But it can backfire tremendously, and actually worsen those problems. There's a psychonaut meme that there's "no such thing as a bad trip, just a difficult one", but that's absolutely untrue.

I think psychedelics have incredible therapeutic potential, though, and I'm looking forward to a world where they are legal, well tested and researched, and usable in safe environments with trained and compassionate professionals.
Docker Expands Relationship with Microsoft
They accused him for 3 years of being a traitor and a Russian agent meanwhile he and his family was being spied on and framed by intel community. They setup a 35 year military servant of being a Russian agent just because they hate his politics. They are still accusing him of killing 100,000 people from COVID. Everything from the Jussie Smollett hoax to the Covington High School kids hoax was blamed on him. So when Trump fights back, everyone loses their mind. Everyday, they spit at him, frame him, accuse him and shame him. People want him to simply keep being a punching bag and folding like a lawn chair. But he's not going to do that because he's been this way his entire life - and everyone loved him for exactly that until he ran for President as a Republican. Twitter using these same people who spit on him every single day as "fact checkers" is insane. I think people are letting their disdain for him cloud their judgement.

Would you prefer a president who's a punching bag for the entire world? Or one who fights back?

This was reported first at the begining of May. They got into the server via that Salt vuln and just ran crypto miners on the server, they didn't (as far as anyone knows) use the keys to do anything bad. From the original email reporting the problem:

Agreed. Audacity is great for quick audio editing but the selecting/dragging/zooming experience is quite annoying. It would be great to have Ableton’s bird-eye view feature, it’s super intuitive and really responsive.
Yes, interesting. I think there was an active spice trading route from Japan through Xiamen hundreds of years ago. Perhaps a true international product.
That's why I said "Posix shell" and not bash.
The percentage needed for herd immunity is waaaaay less than the low risk population. And using intentional exposure combined with vaccine testing will bring us to a successful vaccine much faster.

This isn’t about perfection. Millions of people will die. We need an answer now. Not in years.
I'm pretty sure the SCT requirement contained the blast radius of this compromise to avoid anyone from actually being affected by it, so your comment doesn't really follow here.

Most people want to be happy but they go about in a way that is tangential/orthogonal to that primary goal. For example; some pursue getting rich, being famous or retiring early thinking that will make them happy.

Instead pursuing that, find a job/work that makes you happy. You'll get more happiness "under the curve" than say, retiring early. Avoid any sort of "I'll suffer for years so I can be happy at some time in the future."

I only have 2-3 years left to live and I have very few regrets. I've always taken a moment to stop and smelled the flowers. (The smelling thing may be because I think I might been a golden retriever in my last life.)
Have you tried out ne, the nice editor? Also packaged in Debian for quite a while, has syntax highlighting, ctrl+s saves a file etc.
Good question. The approach I proposed works for production applications that require an easy-to-replicate, deterministic environment, but I wouldn't recommend it if you're trying to build, say, Python packages or frameworks meant to be used in diverse environments.

I don't typically keep track of Twitter drama so I had to look this up. Apparently, the photo in question wasn't a 'shop, but rather a well-known troll specifically looking to stir shit up.
This is how corporate ownership might try to incorporate toxic culture worldwide. They cannot do this if not for the cheerleading and silent 2/3 majority, that is currently not being bullied. Note: What a bully do to someone else by your support or lack of opposition, you will most likely be the next bully's victim. This is kind of karma: Don't expect to ever change the scorpion's own nature. Since Western individualistic cultures haven't really confronted bullies yet, this is the defining moment. There is nothing here that haven't already been subjected to other cultures in the past.
Has someone built an LSP frontend for this editor? I'd be really interested in it since I mainly use nano but I'd like to add auto completions.
If you're young and healthy, it may make complete sense to get the virus is a controlled manner with low viral load. I'd likely sign up to do this. Immunity is not proven, but its highly probable at least for a while. It would be nice to not constantly question whether or not I'm asymptomatically infectious and a threat to those around me.

infection passports are problematic because these incentives crop up for people who are actually at notable risk but either need the economic livelihood or just don't believe the facts around the virus
I've had a very similar experience with my hands. I believe it's a symptom of Depersonalization.
Cryptocurrency continues to improve security by polluting attackers with short-sighted incentives that prevent real damage from occurring.
Folks are still justifiably gun shy about Tuskegee and the various eugenicist procedures from the 20th century. The reason we have restrictions on this kind of thing is precisely because it has been grossly abused whenever it has been permitted in the US.

And yet it's still being discussed, not dismissed outright by the experts. I for one am happy with allowing epidemiologists and virologists to lead the discussion, but not economists and political appointees. No way.

Trump has so far advocated for not wearing masks, inciting armed (white) citizens to storm state capital buildings, the use of hydroxychloroquine despite being found now to be worse than ineffective, sidelined Fauci (going so far as to retweet a call for his removal), and other nonsense, all to boost economic numbers for November and/or fulfill a (toxic) political ideology. And you want the likes of him to determine the best course of action for fighting disease?

F— that noise. If the health research community looks at the problem and decides it's a good idea, I'm on board. Everyone else can take a huge fat seat in their La-Z-Boy and STFU about how soon human trials should begin.
Yes, the reason is that their buddies at places like Google put their thumbs on the scale in order to prevent competition. Do you think it's an accident that Google SERPs are filled with mainstream corporations?
The images look like they were taken in San Francisco. Even with straps, I would expect the rubbing of the panel against the side of your house will cause damage in 98 MPH winds. You will also need to monitor the condition of the straps in case there is sun or weather damage.

> Really I will never understand doing it the other way with capricious professors, unending busy work, huge loans, living in a crappy apartment next to campus. The list goes on and on. If more schools modeled themselves after WGU the brick and mortar college would be on life support in a generation.

You are aware of the existence of online education, aren't you? Your description of college as solely "brick and mortar" is at least a couple decades behind the times. That doesn't even take into account that correspondence degrees have existed at least since the 1960s.

WGU offers a different product. Community colleges offer a different product. Hacker schools offer a different product. The list goes on. I don't think it's entirely ignorance that explains why people pay for college at places like NYU. For some, college and passing exams are different things, whether or not that is consistent with your own preferences. I can say you're very much not representative since you already had a good job.
It's worth noting that many of these issues likely wouldn't have been possible with the use of RAII semantics.
Answering myself here: of course someone else already did that. :)

How dare people try and use existing knowledge to formulate a hypothesis about something that was unknown.

Parent post is just wrong since we know how those processes work
If you don’t have the new update, get it after making a backup. Then run these commands in an elevated command prompt to attempt repairs to your Windows 10. Make sure you restart and have all programs closed when you do this.

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

sfc /scannow

Run the first one, then run the second one until it says no problems or violations found or something to that effect. Then reboot as soon as you can.
That's ridiculous reasoning.

We know that infected people can spread COVID19 without any deliberate action on their part through the simple, reflexive action of exhaling. This part is not in doubt. The virus has an R0 greater than 2 in uncontrolled circumstances, meaning that each infected person will likely infect at least 2 others. This is the lower bound; other analyses have placed the uncontrolled R0 for COVID19 as high as 6.

Thus, identifying and quarantining as many of those who are infected as possible will reduce the transmission rate because there will be fewer opportunities for those infected people to (unwittingly) infect others. This part is not in doubt. It's basic physics and basic medicine.
I'm happily paying for DNS (nextdns.io), I don't think paying for an equivalent search engine would be a stretch.
Who is "they?"

And how is this relevant to whether voter fraud claims that are made in an absolutist manner by the President when they are still controversial should be pushed back on by other authoritative voices?

And is it acceptable for the President to "fight back" by threatening to cease to uphold his oath of office and attempt to undermine the First Amendment directly by shutting down a media source for reporting facts in response to statements by a civil servant?
I really like Nim and have been eager to try for a project -- though for anything other than a simple script/wrapper I'd really want to see source-level debugging support in VSCode for one or two of the backends.
As I understand it, this is not a big deal: there are multiple CT servers, and auditors verifying their entries, the design of the system assumes the possibility of compromised log operators.
> They didnt fix England.

Eventually they did, in a roundabout way. The rise of the US, causing Britain to lose its lucrative colonies (and the future potential value of their North American holdings), helped break the British Empire. They could not sustain their empire with its shrinking assets. Empires bloat, ossify and become more expensive to maintain over time. To counter that, you need an outsized injection of new value coming in, which the North American colonies could have potentially provided. At best it might have bought the British Empire some more time.

In this case fixing means returning Britain to being a normally functioning nation state, instead of an overseas, overstretched empire.
> I’m pretty sure HN, the site were literally posting on, does not have either of these, or at least not at that scale and yet it’s miles better than anything on fb or twitter so I’m not sure I buy this argument.

True. I like HN. By the look of it you like it too. When you say HN is miles better than fb or twitter I'd say that is a subjective judgement. I suspect that only a fraction of the people currently spending their time on fb or twitter would spend any time on HN. They're looking for something else. Something they don't get here.

On another note I get the sense that the vast majority of users of those walled gardens couldn't give a hoot about the concerns raised in the essay. Those platforms currently deliver something of value to their target audiences (however that may be defined). So as long as they do that and no alternatives arise to disrupt their stranglehold things will remain as they are.
> The first is spam and abuse

Opt in systems solve these in open social media platforms, but introduce their own vulnerabilities such as information/reality bubbles and difficulty in growing networks.

> The second is aggregation and discoverability
Advertising takes many forms, including word of mouth.

> monetization
This is true enough, but most content on the internet isn't monetized by the creator via the platform, and there are many examples of creators who monetize independent of the platform. It also depends on how low you want to go w/ what you call the platform. Some pay for a platform in order to monetize. I don't have stats on this, so maybe it's experiential bias.
I've been following this, as Martin Fowler released it in instalments over the past few weeks. The final part came out today.

While specialists who are experienced in TM may not get a great deal from it, it should be useful for developers new to it.
As someone who was experimenting with text editing in a browser recently: I could not find any open source (non-commercial expensive license) text editors that could actually handle workloads I cared about. (and which are not also specialized on code, such as Ace Editor) While Quill (and friends) definitely provide some very nice functionality, the moment I tried to do something like shove a full novel into one, not only did it take quite a while to actually load that text, but it took 500ms+ to insert single characters. There is a serious lack of an open source text editing library for Javascript that can handle any amount of characters without completely bogging down.

I was actually seriously impressed that I was able to take a huge amount of text and shove it into Obsidian and the UI stayed completely smooth the entire time. Props to the Obsidian devs for that!
Just to be really clear, you're free to do what you want. And I don't care what you do.

What I don't feel is correct is to institute policy based on things that the CDC says are not effective enough to determine policy. Or to support intentional infection based on not understanding the illness well enough. The reason I don't support that is not because I care about what the people forcing infection do to themselves, but what they do to the people that need to support them (hospitals, going out when ill and infecting others who didn't sign up for that, etc).
Correct. It's an interesting incident, but the consequences for Internet users are pretty much zero.

(Conversely, multiple CT server compromises would be a significant concern, but even then without a compromised Certificate Authority, the impact is almost zero.)
if you're long-term focused and investing in a career as a programmer: Rust
Depends. Sometimes I write from the server directly, but ssh and pull happens most of the time. I’m sure it would be “smarter” to do something with webhooks or a dozen other things to auto-sync.
That's the first I've heard of this. I'd be interested to read more. Do you have any sources to back up the claim that HN is a well known astroturth forum.
Agree with you, it's entirely incorrect that a CT log operator "defines the security of the entire CA system". They can't issue certs and their output is already regarded with suspicion by default.

I don't think Rust really makes NULL dereferences any better. In practice, a NULL dereference in C is almost always "just" a crash that can't be turned into something worse (unlike the rest of these kinds of bugs), and Rust makes it really easy to call "unwrap", which if your Option is None... crashes.
This is an interesting point. Rust's borrow checker or bounds checks probably also can't know about a page table change happening underneath it. Anyone want to correct me on that?
Features vs page load time is very impressive.
Looks like they haven't added a license yet. I hope they do, if this is intended to be an open source project. https://github.com/pkalogiros/AudioMass/issues/1
I'm not a fan of turning GitHub into social media. Please GitHub don't go down this route.
Exactly. He couldn't even give a line item credit because Legal would step in with a barrage of concerns compelling management to remove it.
I'm curious what percentage of users actually purposefully change browsers. I always assumed Firefox fell apart due to Googles heavy Chrome advertising on every Google property combined with some webmasters also throwing up download Chrome here error pages. Not to say that a better ui wouldn't have helped

I'm not sure it's fair to say the advantages of selinux are solely around sharing services and filesystems on a host. I believe selinux also allows a more expressive policy on how a running piece of software can interact with the kernel than say seccomp can, which is probably what you're container runtime is using to limit kernel access. And unless you're configuring seccomp, you're probably picking up some default policy designed to work on as many systems as possible, which sort of violated least privilege.

I'm also not sure I would consider this a totally solved problem within kubernetes. In supporting gravity, our kubernetes distribution, we used to hard-disable all privileged containers. This become a common point of friction, since many pieces of common kubernetes software seemed to just use privileged containers instead of properly listing and setting needed capabilities. Although this is a separate issue from selinux, I'm just pointing out that many kubernetes clusters may not be as isolated between running processes as expected.

And to answer what the product is, gravity is a kubernetes distribution, that in this use case allows for packaging a kubernetes based application together with the runtime, for a unified installer for the application + runtime. Think something like packaging up a SAAS application, and being able to install a copy within a banks network who doesn't want their systems talking to the internet while abstracting away the kubernetes portions.

The problem we were running into, is that end user would keep trying to install the application onto selinux enabled hosts, which would break the install or runtime. And whether you believe in selinux or not, it causes significant friction to try and tell your customers we got this, just turn off that security feature in production.
I found Lua <=> C interop very easy to use, I guess because Lua has been designed as an extension language for otherwise native projects (but it works just as well in the other direction, extending Lua projects with native code).

The same is most likely true for other "scripting languages" where the main purpose is to add a scripting API to otherwise native applications (like Wren: https://github.com/wren-lang/wren)
Installing Java is a bit of a difficult task these days. Even worse if you want to get the JDK which is behind a register-wall.
Also, distances were vastly bigger (maybe that's included in positioning?). England had to ferry troops and material over the Atlantic at a time when a ship voyage was long and could very well end in disaster. China could move troops over in a matter of days without any real risk.

I think we all got it at home. We didn't knew it was COVID so we probably spread it around. This happened in late February when no measures were taken yet.

Several weeks later we were told that person A who went to Milan was in the hospital in a very delicate condition. I want to point out that he is overweight. That person passed the virus to Person B who passed it to Person C who lives with me.

We all got sick. From almost no symptoms to mild symptoms.

I personally felt like crap for two or three days. I felt tired, I had my eyes burning like if I had a fever (I don't know if I had fever or not, I don't usually check unless I'm really hot) and I also had a cough for a few days.

We're curious to see if we have antibodies which would be pretty nice.
