What I personally want from namespaces on crates.io is basically the same as I want from org names on GitHub; the ability to manage permissions at the level of a organistation rather than each package requiring a unique setup, making it harder to audit and admin all the packages belonging to an org. It also seems like a win for consumers to know when they're using code from a specific vendor vs when they aren't. The consumer trust problem you can possibly solve with naming conventions — although it's hard to ensure that everyone has the same conventions unless it's enforced — but the admin problems you can't.
> Mine probably isn't because the insulation is on the 'floor' of the attic

Hmm, mine too.

> Still, I do wonder if this provides enough hot spaces for mice to have evolved to expect a 30 degrees environment

Yeah, this does seem quite questionable to me too, at least for temperate countries.
Happened to me as well. Was writing an authentication service. We thought we were paying for an actual security audit, turns out we payed for a simple word scanning of our codebase. The review didn't find any of the canaries we left in the codebase, and we could never argue back with them. Big waste of money.

Even assuming they revoked the ban, I also don't see how it's particularly relevant to the point I was making; they still banned the entire franchise for months because he wrote a single message on Twitter. Censorship isn't somehow acceptable if it only lasts ~8 months. It's perhaps the definition of arbitrarily abused power.

I never could dig too deep into those, and couldn't find much info on the net. Is there a set of seminal papers/articles on the principles which those are based off?

I think big parts of Sweden might be hitting "herd immunity" relative to the measures that are currently in place.

Doubling in six months is entirely normal behaviour for websites, that's not even especially fast. Viral growth is something seen many times, especially for news sites which can easily grow several multiples in 24 hours if something interesting is happening.

For traffic to drop to zero overnight when nothing much is happening, and especially for election related terms, is unheard of.

Look, elsewhere on HN there is a story about how Facebook banned Breitbart because they posted a video of doctors talking about COVID, and they banned Trump for saying children aren't infectious: a claim widely made by many scientists. Tech companies are utterly untrustworthy when it comes to Breitbart. They want to erase it from the internet because it's conservative and those firms have hired far, far too many extreme leftists who loathe anything conservative.
you seem to miss the point, the Chinese companies were already winning by a large margin before the laws came into existence.
Would you? You haven't heard any complaint from me, and I'm a unix greybeard with a home network and lots of incoming IPv6 connections — all I needed to do was shrink my DNS TTLs, and everything works well. Software's grown resilient to IP address changes nowadays.

Even my incoming rdiff-backup jobs don't raise a noticeable number of errors.

“somewhat miss the point of the shell in the first place”

This presupposes that the Unix shell is the way it is because of careful, considered, forward-thinking design, rather than being a haphazard heap of mouldering hacks upon lazy corner-cutting upon quick-n-dirty bodges that should’ve been thrown out and replaced decades ago.

I agree that trying to improve the *nix shell is a bad idea… because the _Unix shell itself_ is a bad idea. Fifty years is long enough. Instead of bending over backwards for that obsolescent garbage heap (for which no-one will thank you, as we see), study it, learn its lessons, and draw a line under it.

Then go build a clean, modern shell architecture from scratch, using modern tooling and techniques, unhobbled by the myriad defects and deficiencies of the old. It’ll take a tenth of the time and be ten times better (if not, you’re still doing it wrong).

p.s. As for driving early adoption, don’t even think of trying to win over the Unix old guard (who will only bring regressive practices and complaints with them), but sell it hard to the new generations of users who are accustomed to modern UI/UX standards and much less impressed by what the “Old Unix” dogpile has to offer.
Sounds cheaper to run job batches on a local server then to run them encrypted on a remote mainframe, if you want that level of security.

I have a similar thing when I work on a new codebase (or join a new company for that matter): make a note of all the pain points, but don't do anything with them for a few months.

It'll turn out that a lot of them were for a good reason, but some of them won't be and the existing team has just got used to them ('missing stair'). That's why the notes are important, because you probably have too!

It makes complete sense, its tit for tat, China can can arbitrarily impose their rules on foreign companies and now US is doing the same.

Either Chinese businesses can lobby the Chinese Govt to make peace with US or the Chinese govt wont listen to them and have a more aggressive stand, only time will tell.
I believe some of these very small businesses rely on that the owner (and/or his family) is working below minimum wage; so if this is the case, it cannot scale up.
This Steve Jobs quote comes to mind:

"A human mind is too precious to be wasted"

I don't know if Steve Jobs said that -- I can't find a reference -- but, even if he did, chances are he got it from elsewhere, since that sentiment was embedded in the culture since the early 1970's, in the form of the slogan, "A mind is a terrible thing to waste", which was the tag line of a famous ad campaign [0]:

A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Waste — you know the phrase, you've heard it.

That's because the iconic slogan, dreamt up by the advertising agency Young & Rubicam goes back more than four decades. It was meant to promote the United Negro College Fund scholarship program for black students. The slogan practically part of the national consciousness, like Have a Coke and a smile.

My guide to using twitter:

1. Follow people with high signal to noise ratio. These are people whose full time job is creation, and no marketing. Eg. Scientists and engineers and certain types of artists. Politicians not so much.

2. Use the mute feature liberally. Go into settings and mute the name of every major politician in your country, or politicians that are popular world over. On every part of the political landscape. Go to their accounts and block them too. Politics is a mind-killer.

3. Some people tweet good stuff, but retweet crap. You can go to their page and mute their retweets.

4. Follow people you disagree with ideologically. Don't get trapped in echo-chambers.

5. Create lists of people for stuff you are interested in, but don't want to pollute your main timeline with. There you can tolerate a bit lower SNR.

The problem isn’t the framework so much as libraries and their dependencies. A required update to one library might require a bump in a second library and that library drops netfx support and supports only core/net5 in that bumped version. Stuck between a rock and a hard place.
There's a lot of practices that China has that I disagree with.

There's a lot of practices that US has that I disagree with.

China has traditionally been very closed and is very slowly moving to be slightly more open to other countries.

The US used to be kinda open, but is shutting itself in like crazy.

This is way so many countries are pushing so hard to reduce their reliance on the US. This can only bode badly for the US, while the rest of the world continues slowly uniting. Not _against_ the US, just uniting to work together.
Troy does talk a little bit about the data here, but the codebase is not entirely useful without the data. I don't doubt it can be improved from Troy's one-man-efforts in that area, but the real value of haveibeenpwnd is in the data - and the code is useless without a huge trove of breach data - which I guess is never going to be open.

I'm happy to read this comment!

I have leaned libertarian (and still do to an extent) when it comes to many things, but I've never quite identified with the more right-wing 'individual responsibility' / 'poor people are a result of their own choices' perspective.

my personal experiences and having had many close friends who grew up poor or in otherwise very shitty situations make it so clear to me that a lot of the good choices I make are profoundly influenced by my direct surroundings (both physical and social), as well as an upbringing that, while poverty-line, was excellent.

My parents and extended family were great role models, and much as I might grumble about problems in our educational system, it was still pretty good. I was 'funneled' into having friends that also were more of a good than bad influence.

As I entered my twenties and explored the world, I met many people who weren't so fortunate. And as frustrating as it was at times to observe their 'bad choices', knowing the full and often painful story of all the stuff they didn't have growing up (role-models, time to just self-learn, a safe environment, etc.) made me more empathic than judgmental.

That's not to say that I believe nobody has their own responsibilities, or that bad behavior can just be excused by blaming parents or whatnot. Rather, it's complicated and I've been lucky enough to not be able to fully understand (many of the) the complications.
I'd buy this.
I meant HBO! I think GoT season 1 is the only season that's had a release at that res so far.

I was really hoping to get an HDR version of the "The long night", to address some of the banding and other visibility problems present in the episode, and maybe see a bit more of what went on. But there isn't one yet. So I watched it with the lights out so that my eyes adjusted :)

But yeah, you're probably right, NowTv has massive potential to undercut their main offering.

Yes, it would be great to have packages grouped by organisation. It would make it much easier to see in a package list how which organisations you're depending on, rather than just how many crates.
"CCP also raised 1B out of poverty and is responsible for 30% of global growth, so really on balance a few million Uyghurs+Tibetians+HKers+ eventually Taiwan getting their human rights violated isn't convincing arithmetic for billions in the rest of the developing world who relies on Chinese growth, when magnitudes more are being screwed in Middle East for no tangible gain. CCP bad, but also good."

Don't you think China's growth could have been possible without all of their tyrannical mechanisms, nor genocides and taking over other people's territory?

Christ, you seem to be a heartless person - and I think anyone reading what you wrote would observe that, no wonder people are downvoting you. Maybe develop an open heart so you can evolve your logic to include compassion, it takes work by the way to work through and understand there is a different path that isn't acceptable of blunt force and violence that you just clearly articulated you're accepting of; curious if would you like or love if you and your family were on the receiving end of pillaging, abuse, violence, torture?

A potential COVID vaccine is an example. I doubt you could ethically instruct people to get a shot for such a health experiment. You can require them to get one to use certain services, but bodily autonomy has precedence in my opinion. That is even more relevant for living pathogens.

Being together with other humans is always a health risk if you want to look at it like that. While it might be incredible stupid to not take the lesser risk, you cannot force people to be rational.
Pinetrees are eco fascists (mostly admirers of the unabomber) who use the pinetree emoji in their names.

The majority of apps need a very small subset of database features; they need somewhere to park strings and numbers in a reliable way, and retrieve them (sometimes in order). The Django ORM supports this across all of the backends it supports.
I'm not sure if i missed it but you did mention physical keyboard;

Without this physical keyboard, you have phones like https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/#overview

Also there are plenty of non google service based android phones and alternatives.

You can also use Linux on most Android Phones as well.

A Pi Zero or a Pi in general is very very far away from what a Android based Phone does and can do. Alone for Security.

What is your thought why you would assume a lot of people could get beind this setup? I do like the project, its nice though but for me probably for different reasons then for you.
I explicitly included zsh. The point is not the language of the shell itself; that has never been the point. The point is that zsh interoperates with the other programs on your system in a way that crush doesn't and can't.
South Africa’s power structure gave superficial political power in exchange for complete continuity of economic power.
The Dangerous Pursuit of Safety
What I also don't get is why they'd be so stupid. Just tax the companies locally and make a profit.

As long as they contribute to the local economy, provide a service, and operate within the bounds of the law, that should suffice.

Banning them is just worse for everyone.
Yet another tool for making copy/paste/run experience better (Windows)
Automate everything that is not part of the problem you're solving
And you can't operate free-trade style in a world where you have bad actors like China reaping all the benefits while being protectionist and therefore preventing their trade partners from seeing the same benefits.

Saying the US should just press forward with free trade is like saying it is X company's fault for failing when the entire reason they fail is because Y company is behaving anti-competitively, and that behavior is not being curbed by a higher power.

Except in this case there is no higher power to slap China on the wrist. So the only recourse the US (and honestly the rest of the world has) is to be protectionist right back until China realize that everyone wins if we all cooperate, nobody does if we don't.

This is classic prisoner's dilemma, except where the US has been letting China keep pressing "tattle" while the US keeps pressing "keep mum". It had to end at some point.

I don't think anyone is suggesting journalists should go to a white supremacists house for dinner and pet their dog. But if journalists are going to insist that Twitter is the place where their job happens then they should be following all the sources they need to deliver the news accurately on that service.

We're not the ones telling them that Twitter is the real world and not just another internet forum, they're the ones telling us that, they're the ones who hold value in that service because it serves to elevate them, not us.

If a journalist isn't following an individual because they're worried the follower count gives that individual value then I'd say that's a much bigger concern that the journalist holds so much value in follower count on an internet forum. Probably time for them to put the phone down and talk to some real people outside their apartment.
Which features? Mostly data classes, a.k.a. records, and (from C# 8) non-nullable references. Kotlin has had these features for years and it makes things so much easier and cleaner IMHO.
You are again evading the pertinent question. For the ideologues, foxes are an endangered species:

https://www.bussgeldkatalog.org/tierschutz-fuchs/

It is a crime to hurt a fox!

But I am sure that if there are 5 foxes per person in Germany, there will be a new "Referentenentwurf" and everyone will ask how this could possibly have happened.

If you cannot see how this hurts credibility, you have to get out of your ecological bubble. Why should people believe numbers on insects if numbers for other animals are clearly wrong?
This is all-or-nothing thinking and not comparable.

Blocking access, along with blocking economic benefit, isn't akin to physical harm or violence - it's the economic pressure strategy in an attempt to avoid and sway a bad actor towards better behaviour.

Your "eye for an eye" argument is also arguably shallow fear mongering towards taking appropriate, reasonable, non-violent steps.

In one way, yes, it seems like reciprocity, but the impact here seems to be larger than a diplomatic dispute: China is communist, US is free (in terms of public imaging). So in that positioning, while China as a communist, authoritarian nation would be the type to ban online services, the US is supposed to be "better than that."

In any case, I think that the result of this is more that TikTok will sell at an even cheaper price, since it's coming from a position of weakness, not strength. And for WeChat -- who in the west actually uses it? The impact there I believe is a slight dip in Tencent Holdings' stock price, which will quickly bounce back.
The person you responded quite clearly stated it was an approximation to other trade situations. Your response reads as a little disingenuous given the text above, but if it was genuine the "trade" is the provision of services for the exchange of money with Chinese-owned apps. Providing software services like any other service, and indeed like physical goods, is trade all the same.

Tariff may not have been a perfectly analogous choice, but prohibition can also be seen economically as an infinite tariff. China has put bans (infinite tariffs) on a great many US and other foreign companies' services and this is some, comparatively small, reciprocation.
Immunity might only last for a few years. Older people probably get less exposure To recent viruses and have generally weaker bodies.
It's not the death rate that's worrying for most age groups, it's the health effects.

It's strangely difficult to get up-to-date information about hospitalisation rates but early estimates from the Chinese data suggest it's 4.25% for people in their 40s[0].

If you get hospitalised (or even if you don't) you have a significant chance of long-term health problems.

I don't know if that estimate has come down since we've not had to rely on filtered China data but a 1-in-20 chance of hospitalisation seems worrying enough for individuals and a huge problem for society if you let the virus get out of control.

> or being affected by any long-term effects of the virus is about two magnitudes less than the risk for people who are 70+

What data are you basing this on?
