Config files introduce a whole slew of complexity: race conditions, a whole bunch of new error conditions (permission denied, parse errors, read-only filesystems, disk full, etc.); system- or user-wide config files are spooky action-at-a-distance, which can make problems hard to track down, makes commands non-deterministic and may impact reproducibility (e.g. on other people's machines).

If commands insist on taking options via a config file, my preferred way to call them is to generate the config in-place via process substitution, e.g.

someCommand -c <(printf 'foo\n\tbar="%s"\n\tbaz="%s"\n' "$BAR" "$BAZ")

Although this isn't always possible, e.g. if 'someCommand' tries seeking around the config file rather than just parsing it in one pass.
It is always the same thing "If I were X" people only imagine that X wouldn't bring them anything, so having $50M is better than having nothing.

Well as you said, no, is it better to have a company valued $50M growing 30% per year, or having $50M in your bank account ? Most entrepreneur will prefer the latter
Is there a good article/video explaining how third party cookies work and then how the ad fraud itself works in this context?

I would like to send it to someone with very little knowledge of this world and what problem this feature intends to solve.
Don't many services that cost far more than journalism to produce charge $20 a month now? Netflix is $13, Disney+ is $7 a month, Xbox Game Pass is $10 a month...

And those movies, TV shows and games cost many millions of dollars to produce. Why is journalism so much more expensive when journalists likely aren't earning hundreds of thousands of dollars a year and spending millions on investigations?
A possibility would be a (global, publication independent) subscription service like this: you pay a fixed amount in each month (say, ten dollars). Then every time you read an article from a website that subscribes to the service, if you liked the article you click on a widget. At the end of the month, the ten dollars are redistributed to the publishers in proportion to your clicks. So payment is voluntary but the total amount per month is already allocated- it's not a matter of deciding whether to pay or not but just how to distribute the money.
This PDF weighs 11MB, for no good reason (there are few images in the document but nothing to justify 11MB). The web server is pitifully slow. Curiously, curl tells me the HTTPS cert has expired, but Firefox doesn't.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to find a decent mirror.
Not a microblogging site — we are pretty heavily geared towards true "sites" (places where you write long-form content, organize it, edit often, etc) rather than tweeting into the void.
Best not to engage. Terfs have a vested interest in appearing to be civil, but shrinking into the background when pushed, since the facts refute their position.

Although that is true, it would be very easy to be much better at it than most major media sources. There are theoretical limits then there is the limit that those clods actually achieve. It is a rare, rare day when an article manages to quote an entire paragraph of what a politician said, context and all.
Your English appears better than most native English writers, so while the tip given is valid, you should feel confident in your skills. Even re-reading for tell-tale signs, I’d have not guessed you weren’t a native speaker if you hadn’t mentioned it.
I've used Twitter for 13 years and Mastodon for 4... and have seen almost zero toxicity or arguments on Mastodon (in stark contrast with Twitter, of course). That said, I'm on a smaller instance and I don't "browse the fediverse" much, I stick to my crew of "locals", mostly. It's easy to filter out stuff you don't want to hear about, but honestly I haven't even found the need. More and more frequently I'm considering just closing my Twitter account -- as many of my friends have already done.
Hopefully Americans take some heed from this experience.
You're mistaking the tools of the conflict for its cause. The conflict arose because the US finally realized China is a threat (as China knew the US was all along). Which one plays more unfairly is just a tool in propaganda efforts of each side to draw people and countries to its cause.

Which is not to say there's no moral difference between the two, just that it's mostly unrelated to the cause of the conflict.

In other words, you won't convince the US to allow themselves to become more vulnerable to China, by pointing out their sins in South America. Similar holds for China.
>I think you have that backwards, Google kept asking Yahoo to buy them

The early 1998 $1 million offer was prompted by Larry Page and Yahoo rejected him. However, the 2002 offer of $3 billion was from Yahoo and Google rejected them. In 2002, Google was already starting to see profits so they were under no pressure to sell.
Depends on context. Web browsers are required to cope with old malformed HTML.
Definitely in the short run, because of the understandable fear from NVIDIA's competitors to use their (now) technology. Maybe in the mid run if those fears begin to crystallize. Unlikely in the long run, I'd assume NVIDIA would spin ARM off before killing it entirely, buying ARM would be a multi-billion investment.

Show HN: KaHIP v3.00 is out now
We are proud to announce the release of a major update of our graph partitioning framework KaHiP (Karlsruhe High Quality Graph Partitioning). KaHiP is a family of high quality graph partitioning programs. It contains various graph partitioning algorithms that can be configured to either achieve the best known partitions for many standard benchmark instances or to be a good trade-off between partition quality and running time. Since the last major release we added:

- node ordering algorithms to compute fill-in reduced node orderings
- ILP based exact solvers and partition improvement algorithms
- global multisection process mapping algorithms
- and a lot of minor improvements of our system

This is round of improvements and extensions is due to
Alexandra Henzinger, Alexander Noe, Wolfgang Ost, Daniel Seemaier

The code is available under MIT Licence.

* open source implementation / website

Google leading this effort is completely ridiculous.

Whatever comes out of it is bound to either not be great for privacy or it will be an improvement but hit the smaller players. ie everyone not google. eg take away Cookies to prevent tracking. Leaving them the only one company with sight of near everything (google analytics & Adsense & Chrome). And we already know from recent revelations that google isn’t above peeking under the hood of data sources they shouldn’t.

Whole thing seems insanely monopolistic to me.
The bundle is $249. If you don't think 8k people would pay that to have lifetime access to components that look great and allow you to build a great looking website in hours, you don't really understand the dev market.

As a developer, Tailwind UI is a god send, I've been waiting for years for a great looking CSS framework with pre-made components

(Also, they had a pretty big audience already after selling Refactoring UI which is a really useful book for developers that can't design, like me)
In NL several companies have pivoted from being a SMS provider into PSPs ( payment service provider ).

They abandoned the SMS business mostly, and in this light I find the rise of Twillio/Messagebird remarkable.
That actually is a great way to bring up how miserably the Netflix model treats content creators.

The $4 billion rich Netflix CEO says that artists should try harder if they don't want to starve (source, this same article we are discussing)
> I don't think people in software realize how incredibly far behind software tooling is in other industries.

It happens in all industries. For example InDesign currently has a dominant position as a DTP tool. However, after so many years it still doesn't support many basic functions such as multiple indexes (Index of People, Index of Places, etc.). Adobe simply doesn't care because there is no competition (Affinity Publisher is not there yet, and Scribus has its own quirks, although got much better recently; paradoxically Quark finally got competitive, but they don't support multiple indexes either...).
> You could pay a random professional software company to improve the FreeCAD UI.

Software develoment is of course quite difficult. Good software development is that much harder. Sure, you could pay a company to try to improve the FreeCAD UI - you could pay a company a lot of money to botch the effort, deliver a mediocre outcome, take a zillion years to finish, go far over budget it while still getting a mediocre outcome, and so on. If it's anything other than a good outcome, most likely you just stole resources from the rest of your business and now you're worse off. The odds are against you.

It's one of the many reasons people stick with their 75% or 85% good enough present solution. They're busy running their own business. Trying to manage a software development endeavor on the side is a huge tax (that much more so if you're not in the software business).
There are a fair few doc management for construction companies around now. So i'd be surprised if any large project wasn't using a managed or self hosted one today. and several of them have fancy tools that can pull in 3d models and the like. (oracle bought one that i worked at)

What is unbiased? If you were a late 18th century french reporter writing a report about the death of king Louis XVI, would you write "King Louis was murdered", "King Louis was executed", "former king Louis executed by means of guillotine for high treason", "citizen Louis Capet beheaded on the order of the National Convention" or something else? All of those descriptions can be considered true and yet none are unbiased.
> Italian lockdowns didn't stop COVID - human immune systems did.

That might be true for Bergamo, but certainly not for the rest of Italy, especially outside of Lombardy which had much lower infection numbers and death numbers.

Having as many dead as in Bergamo everywhere (0.58% of the whole population according to a short google search) would be unacceptable.
In Germany, part of the problem is that old media lobbying has successfully prevented a reasonable (text based) internet presence of public broadcasting...

I'd say most of what we consider a webapp has been "perfected" around 10 years ago. There have been some major usability upgrades such as flexbox but again this is only a productivity booster. It was possible to do everything without flexbox and the price you had to pay was only the cost of your sanity. Now that youtube has changed its algorithm I keep seeing videos from 2013 and in terms of quality they might as well be made in 2020. 1080p has become a well established standard and Youtube no longer skimps heavily on compression. The biggest reason why videos look "old" today is that people just compress videos heavily.
> I think you have just as much a caricature of the other party as they have of you.

That was the point.
You're right:

"In 2002, Yahoo's CEO at the time, Terry Semel, engaged in negotiations to acquire Google, which lasted several months.

The outcome of the negotiation was Semel balking at Google's price tag of $5 billion."
Lock-in is not inherent to capitalism, see for example how open platforms like Linux competed successfully with closed platforms like Windows, with all their resources.

So there is something particular with, say, operating systems, webservers or browsers that allow open source alternatives to thrive, while the same is not for tools aimed at professions outside the software/programmer/IT realm.

Governmental solutions are unlikely to help.

What I mean by my proposal above is not to reinvent patents, but to make copyright work for the benefit of society. A limited form of copyright, adapted to the digital age, with a much shorter duration and source code available.

Sounds like economists run the company not engineers - Boeing comes to mind by some reason - where in place of competing with real inventions the money making has sole preference so killing of competition early using big piles of money is a perfectly decent and honorable way to go.

Not something novel that we have never heard of btw.
This could be possible some 20 years ago, maybe. But these day even if you choose to just describe bare fact, you will still be criticized for the choice of words, such as "riot". Moreover, if you describe facts in full, including some background details, you will be crticized by people shouting "How is this relevant?!"
You only need a long-stay visa to get visa free entry into the other Schengen states for 90 days. No need to get a German passport for that! You also don't need one to get the right to work in another EU state.

here is what article says:

I guess they want easier access to application in countries that telegram is banned and apple is helping
If we're talking about IC EDA - then the OpenAccess library format (anything but, more like InteroperableAccess at best) is binary.

> what happens when miner traffic itself is disrupted and the network is forcibly split between China and the rest of the world?

How would this be done? It only takes a single node capable of connecting to both networks to keep the whole thing working. There are already many nodes working with satellite connections so I'm pretty sure this can't be done even by state actors.
New cryptographies are the most interesting things in tech lately. In this modern era, cryptographies are interesting due to its changing algorithms, adapting new technologies as fast as possible and other sharp things. Must try it!!!
I did this until I switched phones. On my old phone the hotspot worked fine. My new phone- exact same plan, nothing changed there- prompts me to buy the hotspot plan addition. No thanks...
Quite, just looked at Slashdot.org which I used a lot before discovering Hacker News and would add the lack of ads and a long title as killer features on HN. And the great discussions obviously.

But good effort still.
I'm not going to argue about old productivity software, but some games do indeed "age badly".

Obviously the game stays the same, but game designed has advanced and, if you are used to play modern games, some problems that are mostly fixed on all games from the last decade become annoyingly obvious.

For me, the main one is controls:

* Once you are used to WASD+mouse for FPS, going back to ctrl+arrow-keys (with some awkward keys to strafe and look up/down) is awful. If you are able to patch the controls to WASD+mouse, some games then become much easier than intended (since they were not designed with circle strafing in mind).

* Controlling the camera in old 3D platforming games is also a pain. It's amazing how long it took to move the camera controls from the bumpers to right the analog stick. The limited ability to control the camera is also partially responsible for it to get stuck in corners a lot.

There are also some level design choices that are arguably bad, but were required at the time, such as loading tunnels or abusing backtracking/repeated assets (e.g. fight all bosses again) to make the game longer.
Or people not going to the hospital in time because they are afraid of covid.
Easy to go around that, companies will just pay an offshore company that can recover the decryption key (and they do so by using part of what you pay them to pay the ransom)
I think that's a view that a fair number of people have. Of course the error in it is that you're confusing "different rationale to mine" with "lack of rationale". It's very easy to look at people who disagree with you and presume that they're uninformed or irrational. When the truth is most certainly that you and the person you disagree with are both misinformed and irrational, only about different stuff. By refusing to acknowledge the possibility that people may in-fact engage in well reasoned consideration about a topic, and come to a different conclusion than you did, you're just perpetuating the very thing you're complaining about. You can disagree with me, and I may in-fact be completely wrong, but I do think I've presented a rational position, and made some effort to substantiate it. Something I can't really see here in your comments.
Right now, Notion will work just as well for you if you don't mind using a third-party service for custom domains, styling, etc.

In the future, Notion and Brick will drift away significantly. Notion is unlikely to have E2E encrypted pages. Notion is unlikely to have built-in support for newsletters, especially paid newsletters a la Substack. Notion is unlikely to get built-in analytics. Etc.

Notion is powerful enough that you can use it as a pretty good writing platform, but swimming against the flow is always harder. Notion's flow, the way it seems to me, is management and knowledge bases. Ie. it's primarily for co-workers, and it is good for writers insofar as co-workers have to be writers sometimes.

But this is the same "race to the bottom" rhetoric that justified the entire "disruption" to the music and publishing industries that gave us Netflix and Amazon, respectively.

I'm less and less convinced that we are doing the world any service by demonetizing all content and cutting the heads of all tall talent, hence the authors presumption of a sort of public UBI or other non-private-sector basis as a condition to liberating the content.

The IP systems certainly are byzantine and punitive towards actual free information flow, as outlined in the article.
However, if one approaches this as a typical Free Market Libertarian American (tm), as the author expressly does NOT, one arrives at different economic conclusions, and basically, journalism will not survive the complete demonetization of all content for ONE reason:

content will become even more corruptly tied to out-of-band payment than is currently the case.

why bother writing articles against the big bad polluter, when you can get paid to write apologism for them?
Make it yourself. Make all of your food yourself. My regular gym routine, which was part of my life for years until a few months ago when I was forced to stop, involved lifting heavy weights followed shortly afterwards by a bowl of porridge. It's a big bowl of porridge and I would put about 2 tsp of sugar in it to sweeten it. I considered this sweet because it was, in fact, the only sugar I was consuming. Now since lockdown I've had to stop my porridge because my muscle was becoming replaced with fat. I've had to lose weight to stay lean. But I've replaced that small amount of sugar I had regularly with other sweet things and noticed that I'm consuming far more sugar now. I've decided to stop completely now. If you consume ready-made things with sugar, it very quickly becomes an addiction.

I avoided ring-tone services entirely. There seemed to be next to no regulation and it felt like if I just wanted to download one ring-tone I'd find myself consenting to be charged to receive unwanted text messages for ages with no way to stop it.
