1) potential gamechanger. Thanks for pointing it out

2) yes, but there's a config directive for the Server header too that could just allow people to turn it off

3) for child_init, but nothing obvious that maps to a worker_thread_init

Are there plans for httpd to avail of io_uring if the kernel provides it?

I will admit, I've struggled with configuring httpd for years. A single threaded redis server can handle more connections than a full httpd install.

Global Wave Discovery Ends 220-Year Search
It’s possible Epic are baiting the app stores, betting that the current anti-trust questions around Apple and Google support a change. Either Apple and Google capitulate to this move by Epic, and Epic wins. Or Google and/or Apple come after Epic, creating a public scene that emphasizes their monopoly-like behavior, and failed lawsuits or government action mean a win for Epic. The third option—the big guys come after Epic, Epic enjoys no support and simply lose—is relatively unlikely right now. So perhaps Epic is forcing the issue, seeing an opportunity for their own gain in the midst of societal gain.

Only if they _can_ be solved with violence. I'd argue that even if a particular issue can be solved with violence, the net result will generally be worse than the status quo as the violence will rarely be limited to such issues.

I'd think that for an undirected mob, violence that was a net beneficial effect would be even more rare than violence by a well regulated army. E.g. U.S. military violence during WWII was arguably a net benefit. What would be an example of mob violence that led to a net benefit?
Purely an opinion, but I would guess that range is something that matters significantly less in most of Europe than it does in the USA, to make a broad generalization.

Drives are shorter in distance, and charging opportunities are much more readily available given the density of much of Europe. I would hazard a guess that trains are much more popular for longer-distance trips where flying isn't an option, a big contrast to the USA.

This is why vehicles like the Honda e exist as an "urban car" at a lower price point than Tesla cares to hit. With a max range is only 137 miles, it's not "competitive", but it's priced ~14k GBP less than a Model 3 from what I can tell.
The problem of the cult of the free is a microcosm of the larger global struggle against capitalism. Who will (or rather, can) build an open and secure browser?

Obviously, a corporation (like Google, MS, Apple, etc) can't be trusted because they have too many conflicting interests. The MS monopoly lawsuit was about browsers; how people connect to the internet is a big huge deal and there's a lot of money and power to be gained if you become top-dog in that space.

Just ask Google, whose dominance of the browser space with Chrome has massively shaped the way to web works today, making it much friendlier to invasive DRM, micropayment schemes, invasive advertising, and many other consumer exploiting features.

So you need an independent source for a browser, but browsers are big and very complicated and need strong security and on and on. It's neither easy nor cheap, but why would the average person want to pay for an independent browser when MS, Apple, and Google will all give you a great browser "for free?"

There is no real answer to this under our current economic model. Donations and fund-raising are patches on a broken system, usually requiring additional support from advertisers, corporate donations, influencing foundations, and so on. If the money isn't coming from consumers buying or donating, then it's coming from someone with money and a vested interest that their money is buying influence for.

The Internet was built on public money from university grants and military funding. But the internet was stolen from the public decades ago and sold to big capital. Until we fix that, Mozilla is just another in a long line of past and future downsizings as the corporate world continues to pillage and privatize the Internet.

The trouble is Firefox is, objectively, not a major browser. I think it's below 5% share at the moment. If companies were to contribute to a browser it'd be Chromium. But there's rarely a reason to do so as Google itself has more than enough resources to throw at Chrome whenever needed.

Seriously, I'll just follow the doctor's advice, thanks. Changing from supplements is seriously not worth the health risks for me (I found out since then that I have MS, and it is important not to get low).

I'm in Norway, and fish is everywhere. I do eat it, but am mostly vegetarian. I do eat eggs and dairy quite often. It isn't enough: And it isn't just me, but many Norwegians have to take a supplement even though people will teach kids to eat plenty of fish for health reasons. Heck, as an immigrant, we were advised to take supplements during the winter since daylight is not only short in duration but also in intensity - I just didn't follow it at first. I'm lucky to be living in a time when I can take chewable tablets - cod liver oil is more traditional.
That is the opposite of what I see on a daily basis managing several 100+ SMB Windows based computer networks. I'm curious what your summary is to back up 4GB being absolutely fine.

I believe that if you do "Get Info" on an individual application, you can disable Retina rendering for it. The OS will render it with the full non-retina code path into a non-Retina-sized buffer and then upscale it to fit on your screen at normal size (but with terrible resolution, of course). May help.

My guess is that this is a gambit to force Apple’s hand during a time when there is the most intense antitrust pressure over the App Store since it’s launch.
If Apple cracks down then it’s just more fuel for the antitrust fire, and potentially evidence in court. If they allow it then it’s precedent that others can use to employ the same tactic. Either way it seems to me Epic is taking a calculated risk to induce change.
> It looks clearly as if Epic remotely activated this direct payment option, thereby bypassing Apple's App Review.

Is that against Apple's store terms? Because that's a common feature of ReactNative based app, you can update them by deploying new JS files without having to pass by a new app store release.
I've had a similar experience. I ran into a scam that was masquerading as a popular Canadian clothing store (Roots) where everything was 50% off. I reported the domain to Namecheap and they said they're not responsible for the content since its hosted elsewhere. I pointed out that the domain itself was also trying to pass as legitimate and they told me unless I was the trademark owner they couldn't do anything. I also e-mailed the hosting provider but never heard back.

Fortunately I got ahold of Roots via Twitter and the scam seems to have been shut down.
Thanks! I'm glad it is a useful tool
I was a Chinese grad student, lost all money in scam. How could it happen to me?
It's not an issue that [insert digital good here] is cheaper on the seller's website than in the Apple App Store. What Apple prohibits you from is telling your client that the [insert digital good here] is available for purchase somewhere else or that there's a special kind of a markup on the App Store option.
Almost certainly, yeah. That's also a big violation that should see their account being disabled.

If Apple was treating all developers the same, that is.
More fuel on the fire for the anti-competitive narrative regardless what the outcome is.
What is actually left of mozilla after this?
Mind posting a link to your website?
No if you have a payment method setup you can pay using it directly from the apps themselves:

Then in the app the Apple/Play payment method is explicitly not discounted.

The HN community is going to hate on me for this but it's partially their own fault for spending money trying to differentiate in the browser.

They should just focus on Chromium. It's going to win anyway. Mozilla has a small market share percentage and eventually the gap is going to be large enough they will have to abandon the FF code base anyway.

It's looking like they're going to focus more on the consumer market and building consumer products and less on infrastructure.

FF as needed back when all the browsers were proprietary.

Sure... Google can do evil things with Chrome but Chromium is Open Source - it can always be forked. There's nothing advantageous in maintaining FF as a dedicate code base. It's just duplication.

One of the major points of OSS is to prevent people from competing on things that are non-differentiating. If's OSS so they can fork it and make their own changes if they want.
> I should note that, if one were opposed to the liberal (classical sense) project, the encouragement of riots (regardless of them being left or right) would be an excellent strategy.

It seems absurd on its face to claim that only classical liberals oppose riots on theory grounds.
Very sorry for your problems.

No disrespect intended, I am biologically challenged, but I do not understand how anyone can have a Vitamin D deficiency when 15 minutes of sunlight a day on the skin creates all the Vitamin D anyone needs, and too much Vitamin D is very bad. I suppose it makes sense in the Winter months when everyone is inside for months, but usually, the sun shines every day, even in Winter.
Yeah, linear probing helps hash-sets a lot on modern CPUs.

Perhaps linear probing is a better example of how BigO analysis can go wrong on modern architectures. Inserting into a hashset with linear-probing is O(n) worst-case, while inserting into a linked list is always O(1) (best case, worst case, and average case).

And yet, linear probing seems to work out best in practice (with a bit of rigging. The total_size > 2*n invariant is one, but so does Robin-hood hashing if you want to keep the table small)

Linear probing vs Linked List implementations of hash-sets seems to be a more clear example of an O(1) vs O(n) anomaly, where the O(n) example is superior.
Thanks for the in-depth feedback! I really appreciate it and will look into the issues you found with the app.
This is prevalent logic in the security community, but it sounds strange applied to other domains.

Comparing monthly sales is meaningless. The fact that only 203 Teslas were registered in July just means that no boats full of cars arrived in July.

Normally you can fairly compare quarterly numbers, but COVID-19 prevented Tesla from shipping to Europe for Q2. I expect a big spike in September as Tesla's Q3 boats arrive. I doubt it'll be enough to catch up, but the comparison will be much more fair then.
That’s the key. In Europe most dealerships are brand dealers. They sell and service one or two manufacturers at most, and have a brand to uphold. That is not the case in much of the world: dealers are independent, and sell whatever they want at the price they want without a single fuck given to your feelings since you won’t be coming back in a decade and they will most likely go out of business by then.

The buying experience can be incredibly painful, especially if you go to a dealer know for better prices (there is no such a thing with Tesla).
If you take it as science reporting, mainly intended to be of interest to scientists or to people who follow the progress of science, then it's sensible. It's similar to the materials-science reporting they do for battery technologies.

These releases coming from University PR departments (this one's from UCSF) aren't really supposed to make it into newspapers for wide consumption. Their target audience is:

1. the people working in the same field—in other Universities, or in industry—who maybe don't have time to read journals, so you've gotta get their attention actively with a "billboard" announcement, rather than putting it in a journal they have to explicitly decide to read;

2. the people who fund the university, who want to see what sorts of neat things their money is being spent on.

Pop-science journalists sometimes glom onto these releases and make them more than they are, "retargeting" them for public consumption. You can certainly object to that. But as originally delivered, these publications are blameless for that.
Ballsy, I love it. Hopefully it can be used as evidence in any antitrust actions against Apple, in the US or abroad. It's clear that Apple's behavior negatively impacts consumer pricing.
The irony of this statement when the author was hounded tirelessly by the Memory Safety Mafia until he plain didn't want to work on it anymore...
Fly is fantastic. The core product is solid (serverless distributed Docker) but they are still figuring out more features and ironing out the wrinkles. I've only been using it in development but I'm very happy with it.

Honestly, I don't think there's anything that compares at this price point and ease of use.
>in building a PC, you're choosing a motherboard socket, and thus potentially making it cheap to upgrade to later-gen CPUs that stay compatible with that socket.

I'm curious how common it is for people to upgrade just the CPU or motherboard.

I tend to upgrade / replace my personal PC's every 4-6 years. At that pace, it's always seemed worthwhile to upgrade both motherboard and CPU at the same time, because of platform improvements. But maybe I'm an outlier.
Which I think is pretty fair. There's always bad actors who try to justify riots, but almost everyone agrees that they're bad - the "pro-riot" side of a discussion is usually along the lines of "you know, a violent crackdown just isn't going to work, so we'd better do suchandsuch or they'll keep on being angry".
Agree. Here in Germany, the people who mention Tesla's autopilot are seen as idiots because they let themselves get tricked by marketing over substance. Plus we Germans like to buy a car with 5+ years of warranty, but Tesla just doesn't have the quality needed for that.
It seems you simply have to pull it every 5.99 months to not get it removed. So add all your images into a bash script and pull them every couple weeks using crontab and you‘re fine.

On the other side, I see the need for making money and storage/services cannot be free (someone pays somewhere for it - always), but 6 months is not that much for specific usages.
Isn't the article's vision of things like Kubernetes (and similar) a bit too idyllic?

I've heard talks by experienced K8s adopters (I want to say "Kubernetes failure stories", but googling comes up with similar hits but not the specific talk I was thinking of) where they mention that when K8s goes bad, it has all the negatives or knowing the "traditional" tech stack plus all the failure modes of K8s itself. They argue that it's more stuff you have to know about, not less; and when trouble hits, it can get very complicated to understand why.

(Not picking specifically on K8s; this applies to similar orchestrators/container tech).
He just added another tweet to address this question: "Another thing to clarify: Rust, Wasmtime, and the Bytecode Alliance will all be more than fine! [...] They all have a bright future!"
They say image not tag, so it wouldn't appear this should impact active projects
Depends which BMW :D

In Poland, BMW can mean "expensive luxury sports car", or "Bolid Młodzieży Wiejskiej", a pejorative name that means "Village Youth Vehicle", as a lot of used BMW from specific series were available cheap and with good performance. To the point that road police started stopping cars based on them being specific BMW models.
Thanks! Sounds good

Tesla has just 2,000 Supercharger stations for the whole Europe.

BDEW has 5500 publicly accessible stations in Germany and 10000 more planned. All petrol stations in Germany will be required to offer electric vehicle charging points. German government is throwing few billions for subsidies for pubic charging stations. At least 7,000 fast-charging points are planned.
Maybe Cloudflare to come to the rescue? as their Workers platform supports WASM and they use Rust in some projects.

This shows that open-source in general is expensive for Mozilla but cheap for the likes of Apple, Microsoft and Google who own their own Web browsers and have other open-source programming languages maintained by some of their employees full time.

The actual reality of this is that they are still kept alive by a direct competitor for decades and haven't made anything to generate significant sources of revenue. Maybe they should turn into a Rust consultancy of some sort. I don't know.

If the mission statement is about 'privacy' then it doesn't make much sense to continue to bite the hand that feeds them as its up to Google if they want to re-new their contract with Mozilla; which unsuprisingly they had to.
I see, thanks for the comment :)

One of my favorite books Epistemology and Psychology of Human Judgment by Bishop & Trout [0] argues that humans are bad at making judgments, and what we want is reliable methods for arriving at truth.

The authors of the book provide several heuristics that yield better outcomes than typical strategies people use.

With respect to probabilities, since humans, on average, suck at it, they recommend a "frequentist" approach. A great illustration is one about a 99% accurate medical test that claims a patient is positive. The probability the patient has the disease is not 99% (over 60% of Harvard doctors get this question wrong). The authors show how reframing the question with a sample population (10,000 people for example) and the relative prevalence of the disease (and noticing the false negatives) the problem becomes almost trivial to calculate.

For the mob? I think looting is a pretty easy example.
The example you gave is again, perfect example of something that can be commoditized and I am sure it would be commoditized quite soon.

We already have traditional desktop OSs or even mobile OSs allowing OEMs to plug the hardware they bring.

It would need some willingness on part of individual auto manufacturers to let go of some amount of control, but I think they would see the advantage of it.
Tesla is extremely overhyped Silicon Valley darling. In the real world, they have tons of struggles, like:
- quirky interior
- very limited model selection
- dated outside design
- quality issues
- polarizing CEO
- very limited features (outside of computer tech)
- limited service capacity
- expensive
- all is their cars are huge

And list goes on. It’s not hard to see why they won’t dominate market. Doesn’t mean they don’t have place there, but there’s basically 0 rational reasons to expect them to be a leader in a maturing market.
I'm not certain at this point. His skills? His voice/platform? for example if he were to come forth and say something plausible but false many would just believe him.
Using the counting method for the Monty Hall problem actually works very well. Initially there are 3 possible ways the goats and treasure can be arranged:

goat goat treasure

goat treasure goat

treasure goat goat

You pick a door -- let's say it's the first door. Monty opens one of the other 2 to reveal a goat, leaving one other door. This modifies the possible outcomes:

goat treasure

goat treasure

treasure goat

Using the counting approach, there is 1 outcome where door 1 has the treasure, and 2 outcomes where the other door has the treasure. 2/3 chance of finding the treasure if you switch.
Wow that's interesting, thanks for the tip
Sandboxing doesn't actually solve the biggest security problems, because most systems are there to run applications. That means that the interesting things on those systems are inside of some application's sandbox. It doesn't matter if I can't get root if I can get all the actually important assets on the system by cracking the application that actually processes those data.

... and in my experience, most application developers, and especially the developers who are the most truculently hostile to working with the system versions of libraries and the most likely to demand to bundle in their own copies for "stability" purposes, are really horrible about paying attention to security issues in their third-party dependencies.

When I'm being a user and a sysadmin rather than a developer or a packager, and I have the choice of trusting a developer versus trusting a packager, then, all else being equal, I will tend to trust the packager. Not that I trust either one that much.
