Note that Outline's definition of "open source" diverges quite a bit from the one that most people have in mind when they hear the words "open source".

From the text of Outline's license [1]:

Notice

The Business Source License (this document, or the “License”) is not an Open
Source license. However, the Licensed Work will eventually be made available
under an Open Source License, as stated in this License.

I think it is more accurate to say that Outline will be open source, rather than Outline is Open Source.

> Eventually, of course, the dam is going to break and IPv6 will become ubiquitous.

By all accounts, many of us in the networking space predicted that this would absolutely, positively, without a doubt occur by 2010.
It’s not just the 30% cut, it’s the “loan” that stores get by withholding payments to developers for arbitrary amounts of time.

If you have a poorly-performing app, it may take months for a few “purchases” to even reach you! Meanwhile, all expenses (web hosting, $99/year developer fees, etc.) don’t stop, and any downsides (e.g. supporting “customers”, or reviews from “customers”) still affect you.

Apple loves to boast about its thousands of “developers” but imagine the size of the slush fund Apple can maintain if there are tons of poorly-selling apps not being paid out for awhile? It’s a large, interest-free loan to Apple. Meanwhile, discoverability and other features that could actually improve sales are entirely up to Apple (and most of these suck).

So if you devote most of your time to a poorly-discovered app that no one buys, you can’t make money. Thus, it isn’t surprising at all that lots of apps start to be “shoveled” into the store, in the hopes that the poor sales of all of them combined will be sustainable. Rinse and repeat.

Apple is directly responsible for huge problems with the app economy, and there is really no defense of their tactics at this point.
From the Xen paper:

> VMware [10] and Connectix [8] both virtualize commodity PC hardware, allowing multiple operating systems to run on a single host. All of these examples implement a full virtualization of (at least a subset of) the underlying hardware, rather than paravirtualizing and presenting a modified interface to the guest OS.

And no, I haven't forgotten about binary translation. As you mention, it was only used to replace privileged instructions and not a full-blown CPU emulator.
VMware VMs still ran native CPU instructions, and the overhead incurred by translation is a whole different matter unrelated to my original point.
I forgot he fell for one of these... I wonder how the legal fees will compare to the lost value...
What's stopping you? No signup needed, you just need to type in a whisky name. I love getting feedback :)
This is a game-changer! Thanks for all your work on this.

Do you have any plans to allow controlling more than 1 computer remotely? I'd love to implement this in my homelab.
Yes, more extreme weather effects will be bad. But it will be worse in other countries (think hurricanes and typhoons, monsoons, etc). I think that supports my point of relative winners.
How would you remotely connect to something like this ? using something like ngrok ?
DeleteMe - I have been a customer here for last 5 years. Very fast in deleting and provides awesome service.
Both of these projects are pure HTML, CSS, and JS without any frameworks or external code. :)
".But the problem was that when CSS came out there it came with the mantra of thou shalt not use tables for layout, but CSS was only specified enough to wrap text around an image, so designers had to torture inline-blocks and floats to try to achieve even basic layout tasks. This ended up bringing out a lot of edge case incompatibilities and fights with the layout engine."

This does not match my recollections of CSS in the mid 90s.

My recollection is that people in general just laid out a document like you'd lay out a word document, and as such the minimal amount of floating that people did was not that difficult.

I recall a) when table-based layouts became very popular, and b) when they became very unpopular and we had to start doing all kinds of funky things with float to avoid them.

But returning to the birth of CSS if all you want to do is to put an image in a word processor do and have the text wrap around it, float is not too bad. If you want to design a layout system around it, it sucks.

So, like, to understand "why floats" in a historical sense, it's important to understand that the kind of layouts that tables (and yeesh, I can't even remember what they were called... frames maybe) were used to achieve didn't exist when CSS was first being used...

it was more like the generic tools in a basic rich text editor.
Climate change skepticism is largely Anglo-Saxon phenomenon. https://reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/about/news/item/a... It exists in the fringe everywhere but only in the US and some other English speaking countries it's hotly debated issue.

This not by accident. There is a book everyone should know about: "Merchants of Doubt: How a Handful of Scientists Obscured the Truth on Issues from Tobacco Smoke to Global Warming" written by science historians Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway.

The bottom line is connection between deniers of dangers tobacco smoking, acid rain, DDT, ozone layer hole, and climate skepticism. Small number of core people and think tanks. Physicists like Fred Singer, Bill Nierenberg, Fred Seitz, ... The Heritage Foundation, George C. Marshall Institute,Competitive Enterprise Institute, ... with corporate backers that change with every issue.
It goes a little farther south and then hangs a right turn to fly toward BKK from due East. So this was more from the south-central portion of the region. The "shocking" part was just the astounding number of vessels, stretching beyond the horizon.
The UN hasn’t prevented nuclear war, it’s accomplished virtually nothing in its long history. It’s the League of Nations with better PR.

Geopolitical reality doesn’t require letting authoritarian regimes chair your human rights committees.

The UN would be a far more effective and useful body if it took away the right to vote from authoritarian regimes. The idea of providing a UN vote to a dictator or kleptocrat who doesn’t allow a real democracy in their own country is absurd.
This article is a classic example of Facebook PR doing a wonderful job of selling the research and linked paper [1] claiming too much in the introduction. Please, please talk to actual researchers before you buy such claims.

If you go through the paper - you have to check the evaluation section to see how they measured their success. They used some programs from GeeksforGeeks to evaluate their approach. Problems on GeeksforGeeks do not represent the vast majority of programming tasks encountered in daily life. This is very much in contrast to the overarching claims presented in the introduction of the paper.

Second issue with the evaluation: they use BLEU scores to judge how good their translations are. BLEU makes sense for natural language translations (even that is widely debated in the NLP community these days). For a program there is no concept of an almost correct program (based on how things look similar), it is either correct or not. Eg. if I am asked to write a program to add two numbers and I write `x - y`, I am not almost correct, I am completely wrong. And in some ways that is what their model does, it optimizes for BLEU scores.

Third, the correctness of the programs are tested based on 10 random inputs. Are 10 random inputs enough to cover the entire input space that can be accepted by a program?

It is indeed a great advance in the application of ML technology, but it is nowhere close to the broader claims. One can even debate, ROI on time spent in gathering and curating data and then checking the correctness of translation from such system vs the ROI on writing rules for a rule based system since all programming languages are easily expressible that way.

Wiby.org is my homepage. I occasionally click "surprise me..." to view 90s style websites. I find them more interesting than scrolling though modern stuff.
Remote monitors like this are occasionally used in offices so that powerful workstations can be put in racks. I'm not completely convinced it is a great idea, even for that application, but it does get used in those instances quite a bit.
I don’t know about iDRAC but I used raritan a bit for some home projects and it’s not super fun. I couldn’t connect it on HDMI when the server was already running, it had to be connected before the boot. For both VGA and HDMI, it sort of works, there is a clunky but functional java desktop application, the screen is often off by a dozen pixels (part of the screen hidden) and the pointer too.

For new servers, I just buy a supermicro motherboard with IPMI and stop worrying. You can set up an IP based firewall within IPMI, so that only a handful of IPs can even connect, plus a very strong password, and I am not too worried about exposing it to the WAN (I know it’s not a great idea but I don’t know any alternative that doesn’t require another U in a datacentre)..
yup, black/R&B/hiphop/rap musis was very small in Europe, while I don't see mainstream eurohouse/trance hits like Robert Miles's Children, ATB's Till I come, Rhythm is a dancer, What Is Love from Haddaway, all even recognizable by my boomer father, let alone myself, none of them amde it into chart while they must be recognized for sure at least by 50% of Millennials
I kinda feel if you really need a lot of resources you can use a cloud server or local physical box. There are lots of workstation laptops spec'd like you want but they're big, heavy and expensive.
Yes, these are massively important to professional astronomy and our understanding of the universe.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixel for displaying static images or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReGIS for vector graphics.
Sadly I think only xterm fully supports these.
Though the modern alternative would be an escape sequence to request a file descriptor into which to just dump an html document. Your OS already has a browser, the terminal should be able to just embed it above the commandline to display graphics.
Funnily enough I'm waiting for my hdmi to usb capture card to arrive so I can play on my PS3 while also having the option of switching back to the desktop instantly.
You're being sarcastic, but there are plenty of places were that is true and those places haven't descended into madness.
Let's leave Vietnam out of this. They're not hiding their numbers. It's difficult for the rest of the world to admit this, but Vietnam beat the virus because their leadership acted quickly, ruthlessly and over time.

In the early days of the outbreak Vietnam didn't have rigorous contact tracing setup, so if a case turned out positive they simply shut down the entire neighborhood for two weeks. Once the source was mostly international cases, they also shut their borders and made no exceptions, not even for trading partners begging to let a handful of people in. But most importantly, even when case numbers went down into single digits, they kept up total lockdown for an additional two weeks.

This saved them from making the mistake Korea made in removing social distancing restrictions the day before a major 5 day weekend which seeded the country and we've been squashing spot fires here ever since.

Authoritarian regimes that have earned public trust through effective governance are probably the countries best suited to manage a pandemic like this one. It's just there are very few of them so it's hard to think of such countries as a category.
> Having said that, I still prefer GSuite to Office. Microsoft has set the bar very low indeed.

Depends upon which pieces. You can pry Excel from my cold, dead hands; OneNote is still an amazing piece of software that is getting pretty sweet updates; Outlook by itself is pretty solid for 80% of use cases, with fast iOS/Android apps; everything can be tweaked to your liking with some VBA scripting.

Onedrive also gives you more free space vs. Google Drive when signing up, I believe, though creating Google Docs / Sheets / Slides don't contribute to GDrive storage space - which was the deciding factor for us.
Thank you for your reply. Again, I am big fan of your work specfically rg and fst.

I apologize for mentioning this without submitting bug reports. I will do so in the near future.

In general when I start a search, the patterns are somewhat pathological. For example when learning about a new codebase I might start with 10-100 regex and 100+ keywords. With each iteration the complexity is reduced until I find the most relevant parts of the codebase.

I know rg performs significantly better than grep out of the box.
I think grep by default is compiled without optimizations and does not use concurrency.
I would be interested in comparing the performance characteristics between the tools in more detail.
I use Bitwarden_rs (https://github.com/dani-garcia/bitwarden_rs) and self-host it in a Docker container on my Synology NAS. I only allow access to it from my internal home network.

The nice thing about Bitwarden_rs is that you get features which you would have to pay for with normal Bitwarden. For example 2FA with U2F. As a note Bitwarden_rs is written in Rust.
Makes sense if you want the flexibility to do it from anywhere over IP, even across the house.
Would a Pi Zero W work for this, or do you need a full-size Pi 4? I would think that with the HDMI dongle doing the hardware MJPEG encoding, a Pi Zero might suffice. It'd be really neat to A) bring the cost down another $30 and B) be able to package everything into a tiny 3D printed case.
That's a nice mathematical questions. My guess is that there are a few models that make minimal sense, and this experiment can refute them. (Ignoring wind currents, that are important and probably make the return flight a few hours longer/shorter.)

In an unrestricted case, you can always select a map where that any real geodesic is a line in your flat map. I guess to prove that the surface is not flat, you need to measure the more distances, like measuring the four sides of a quadrilateral and then the two diagonal. (I think it is not possible using geodesics, without measuring one distance or an angle or a surface.)

The nice part of Gaussian curvature is that you can measure it in the surface, without a model of the 3D word that is "around" it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_curvature
Show HN: I've created a tool to design sequence diagrams with my team
That site really IS pretty good. I've always appreciated studying a dialectal difference before traveling to different regions in Thailand -- in my experience the locals will treat you better if you can not only speak Bangkok Thai, but put in the effort to learn some of their vocabulary. Getting non-tourist treatment is exactly what I'm looking for when trying to learn about a new area.
When I look at the cloaked image it seems that the tool is doing something legit. It's actually changing the shape of the face ever so slightly, rather than playing tricks with noise.

I echo the sentiment of other posters regarding reverse-image search. The original image should not be available to match against. That would be operator failure.
I guess you're arguing that you have an ethical obligation to always be working at full speed for your employer, i.e. sandbagging is an ethical failure. I can't agree with that and I'd argue that in at least some situations padding deadlines is the only sensible thing to do. But I suspect we won't convince each other.
Cool project, but what about power management? What happens if the PC being controlled crashes and does not let you reboot it using keyboard shortcut?

I'm might be damaged by testing and working with embedded development.
And in addition slacks as much as he can get away with. There is that option where even if it looks like you can get away with working only on Mondays spreading results, you would work on Tuesday, Wendsday etc too.
I don't see Russia or Canada having to fear that, for different reasons. Canada no doubt will take on many refugees on purpose, as it does now. Russia is untouchable thanks to their strong military and nuclear weapons. Neither border countries likely to have large numbers of climate refugees. Again though, win is relative here. These countries may still lose, just not as badly as everyone else.
Crysis on Switch Crashes If Console Username Contains Special Characters
I'm familiar with at least one use case. The largest company that builds the NICs for smart meters has its own custom wireless network technology, but on top of that runs IPv6 so that it can communicate with millions of devices.
> I think you have to remove the effects of childbearing...

The fact that childbearing is unpaid work is a significant part of the problem.
It isn't abstract art if it is generated from a deep net.

The emotion and intentional abstraction of imagery no longer exists.

However, a deep net can absolutely generate more literal artworks, such as portraits, scenery, etc..
I think what made it so easy was mostly because it was 2D, but more important than that, it was 2D vectors.

I did a few Flash games myself when I was young, it was amazing, so quick to achieve a result. A decade later I tried doing the same over Unity, and I couldn't do much...

Vector graphic allow you to easily draw something quick and animate it easily with interpolation. It also has the advantage of looking great whatever resolution you got. 2D graphic allow you to not be concerned about performance that much, nor does it require complex manipulation to be used quickly.
Google has all the data about what people clicked and if they thought that link was useful. That is a lot of data that other people don't have.
The Archaeology of Gnome Accessibility
Even the status page is not loading for me. Which seems weird.
> If you're banned from FB or Twitter, you're effectively banned from having a conversation.

You can still have conversations with ease by email, IM, phone, and on your own forums on a server you control (or non-electronically such as in person or by paper mail).

What an FB or Twitter ban effectively takes away is broadcasting your material to a vast audience for free.
In AAA game development Scaleform has yet to make a complete exit. I just get used to seeing those several ms of unrecoverable time lost each frame.
Every time I update windows and reboot, I never know if the server is bricked or if it is just windows taking ages to update.

Also if you use TPM / full disk encryption for a server in colocation, it only takes a firmware update for TPM to request to reenter the key on reboot.
Unlike on fitbit, I can set an alarm directly on my Garmin watch. (Vivoactive 3).

I consider this a huge +
It doesn't need to be a single name. You can select the best target based on expected volatility/volume - for example around announcements. As long as both ends are synchronised ahead of time (which can be done over traditional networks).

The other chain (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23903796) suggested 100 bits per second with a 5% error rate. With the (major) assumptions on that error rate and that you can modify / detect the beam in realtime that gives you plenty to work with.

Of course there is a massive difference between technically possible vs actually implementable.
I would not reply if not for the delicious irony the georoge cantor was a schizophrenic lunatic who died poor and homeless.

I too am concerned about mentally ill lunatics who have taken over mathematics who think gibberish and number puzzles need to be the concern of others, hell even funded by others.

Unlike you I welcome the death of mathematicians and mathematics as we know it, I am all ears on how we can get rid of mathematics from obsessive compulsive lunatics, pea counters, hypocrites, schizophrenics and symmetry worshipers.

> we're discussing the usefulness of mathematics

Internet narcissists do like to imagine insults.

No we are not. The post was about the value of notation and my thread was about the refutation of notation as useless and programming as a better alternative to it.
At least you can replace your stuff.

My box of concert tickets from every show I ever saw disappeared.
Thanks for reading!

>But wouldn't it just be simpler to attach a dumpster-sourced monitor and keyboard to the server in question for the 3-4 times a year you brick it?

Maybe it's just personal preference, but I'd much rather plug in a Raspberry Pi than a whole monitor and keyboard. My server is tucked away in the corner without a good desk surface to place a keyboard and monitor.

With the Pi, I can just plug it and go back to my desk and do everything through the browser. It's also nice for when I have to Google things about why it's not booting, I can just do it from another browser tab rather than physically walking back and forth between computers.
The only way we can really "do our bit" is by actively pushing for systemic change, not by making change on an individual level. Because, unless you make it easier for the average human (not the cushy middle class westerner that can work remotely) not to contribute to greater carbon output, it won't make a difference.

Rather than buying long-lasting products as an individuals say (instead of the fast-fashion or planned obsolescence products that most people buy), we could push for legislation that makes those products less available and helps people to buy more natural-resource-efficient-in-the-long-term products. Most people, who are not well off, have no choice but to buy the cheap stuff that breaks soon. Most people have to drive in a carbon-emitting car to work because there is no electrified public transit. Most investors prefer to build products in a cheap way that they can flip fast because it leads to greater returns. Until we can collectively reverse the logic of this system, we will not be "doing our part".

We need to be up in arms and posing real challenges to the people in power that could change this situation, until they do change it sufficiently. Protests have not been working, boycotts have not been working. There are not many options left apart from general strikes or all out revolt. As you can see, the youth have actually understood this and have been on a school strike for nearly 2 years. However, this is not a sufficient threat to those in power and it must grow and include everyone else before we will see meaningful change.
I've long speculated that FAANG companies over-hire, over-recruit, and over-pay as a way of sucking all the talent off the market to reduce the talent pool for rivals. They certainly have the cash to do this, and top engineering talent is rare enough that it could work.

The shift to 100% virtual tele-work could be a countermeasure, since under-recognized and under-utilized talent exists all over the world.
The issues with documentation aren't really something I'd attribute to the Rust ecosystem, but just to people/humans in general. I've had this problem with every language I worked with: JS/TS, Haskell, C/C++, Go.

Eg,the C++ boost docs are IMO completely decrepit, but people still manage to be productive using it.

If you see a mistake in the docs, open an issue (or a PR), it only costs you little time.
not sure why you talk about "switch"? The word never appears in the article?

And at such a no-brainer price (especially if you already have a Pi), kind of worth it just to avoid the hassle of moving a screen around.
