Most of the comments so far are ignoring the bigger picture: this isnt something new, its just the RIAA playing whack-a-mole with the DMCA hammer. Theyve been doing it for 20 years, and in those 20 years the most they have managed to accomplish is building a better, more resilient mole.

Napster was followed by bittorrent, bittorrent by popcorntime, and youtube-dl. in the past 20 years the industry has quietly capitulated and delivered some content users really want like streaming audio services, but in the grande cosmos of the DMCA-related war on piracy the industry itself continues to do more to smite its own face than it does to offer a more reasonable and accessible product to their audience.

There is nothing to keep me from writing something now that scrapes puseaudio for content triggered by mpv. the only real factor thats of concern is that this new backflip would be even harder for the RIAA to prosecute.
$625/mo minus utilities (minus some pandemic/nice landlord skips) - Parking pad/yard with utilities to a tiny house

~3k/mo split between the following:

OLD content site in a specific niche - affiliate earnings*
Domain earnings via ads (this is a loss for sure though because I spend more than this in domain renewals)
2 sites in various drug niches (affiliate)
Adsense from a network of ??? sites
Fiverr gig (article on a blog) *
A variety of affiliate sites (amazon mainly)*

*split with a partner

Probably cover my domain expenses by selling a domain every once in a while too.

Some of these used to be full time projects that I stopped caring about. Very nice to have spitting out money still. I have been cranking crap out for 20 years and rarely shut any of it down completely unless it is does not cover the $10/year for the domain/hosting and even then I usually keep them going if I like the domain.
Intent does matter only if there's some action taken, or attempted.

The tool just sits there on github. Only the tool's users actually do download stuff or attempt to.

Also you'd be hard pressed to prove such specific intent from some random testsuite url, added by one or two authors, when the tool has very many authors/contributors and the README/manual for users just has non-copyrighted material sample urls, anyway.

RIAA just tries to make it harder to preserve regularly disappearing youtube content, like war crimes evidence, just to make some people richer on some stupid music. I can prove their intent, because that's what this tool is used for, and they're trying to remove the tool from the internet. /s This is the same stupid argument they're using. They will fail, but why not try to make other people's lives harder, right?
So, according to the RIAA's claim, it's

> (i) circumvent the technological protection measures used by authorized streaming services such as YouTube,

> and

> (ii) reproduce and distribute music videos and sound recordings owned by our member companies without authorization for such use.

https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2020/10/2020-10-2...

(i) is strange claim as youtube-dl simply implements various streaming protocols public to anyone, most commonly used protocol is HLS which is just a simple list of URIs of small portion of video files in text file over HTTP/HTTPS. No technological protection whatsoever.
(ii) can be easily avoided by simply removing or changing the example usage.

> Nuclear power is often promoted as one of the best ways to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels to generate the electricity we need, but new research suggests that going all-in on renewables such as wind and solar might be a better approach to seriously reducing the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

This isn't really much of a help. There is no danger of losing access to the archive; it's popular enough that's it's essentially impossible to wipe from the internet. The issue is that now there is no central place where developers can pool their efforts to keep the code working. And it does need constant updates to address changes in the websites it downloads from.

Recently I've had great fun playing with MakeCode for the micro:bit, mostly programming this little robot: https://www.adafruit.com/product/4575

Also very fun is MakeCode Arcade, which makes it super easy create lo-fi sprite-based video games, which you can play in your browser or on a dedicated handheld console: https://arcade.makecode.com

Both work like Scratch, which is another great option. When I played with Scratch as a teenager, though, I remember being frustrated that it wasn't just designed to make programming easy, but also to "teach programming to kids"--which meant that it was easy to make games, but basically impossible to "take the training wheels off" and do more serious tasks, because there was no way to access the filesystem or the network or connect with any other software. That was almost ten years ago, so maybe this complaint is out of date--but it does get to what I like about the micro:bit, which is that it's super simple and fun to program, but still lets you make "real" things.
I'm not sure I like this line of reasoning because it implies that the ants aren't aware of us. Certainly they are in some cases. Ants are able to physically perceive us. So if aliens aren't using some means of passive remote sensing to study us then I don't see why we wouldn't also notice them (though they may have good reason to not use active means). Sure, the ants aren't aware of what why we're hanging out around them, but they are aware of us.
why does that make it worse?
> In a new report, the International Energy Agency (IEA) says solar is now the cheapest form of electricity for utility companies to build. That’s thanks to risk-reducing financial policies around the world, the agency says, and it applies to locations with both the most favorable policies and the easiest access to financing. The report underlines how important these policies are to encouraging development of renewables and other environmentally forward technologies.

I lived in Minsk, 400km from Chernobyl when it happened, so I should count as one of those "victims". Still, I would rather maintain the deathcount of 31 people and the International Atomic Energy Agency figure of 4000 projected deaths.

This phrasing doesn't really make sense to me. I've never seen anything conspiracy-esque said about platforms and centralization, generally it's just that people have found legitimate problems with them and their effects.

What bullshit. If I want to know what ads are targeting my parents in print, I can buy the locally distributed newspapers. If I want to know what they see on Facebook, I have to literally shoulder surf. That or wait for the week’s crack cure-all to surface in a family message thread.
I think everyone is well aware that it takes only one disaster to paint a picture, no matter whether it's still possible today, proportional to deaths caused by other energy sources, or otherwise based on misinformation and emotional reasons. This is exactly the fallacy everyone should be arguing against. Yes, also people who think nuclear is a bad option for other (rational) reasons. Otherwise you're lying about your motivations and pushing a different point under false pretenses.

Many doctors just aren't very good. I went to an allergy doctor about perfume allergy. They told me it was incurable and probably won't get better, just avoid perfume. I started doing my own research. I found a study result that showed that perfume allergy is psycho-somatic. Then I learned stress reduction techniques and used them to cure myself.
> The key reason why you (and likely most developers) struggle with CSS, is that you underestimate it.

I don't agree with this leading premise at all. The main reason people struggle with CSS is twofold: simple things are hard, and things are inconsistent. In a well designed system, easy things should be easy, hard things should be possible, and most things should be reasonably consistent. CSS is none of the above. For case studies, see centering things vertically, three column layouts, filling remaining space, and so on before flexbox, grid, and the other new kids came around.
> If I hear the same song played in C, and then in Db, the two of them will hit me emotionally the same.

Do you mean you can’t tell the difference between the two? My first thought is that the difference would be obvious, but I could be wrong. Is there a pair of recordings like this anywhere, so I can try it out?

You should be careful about that. The College Board's APUS curriculum is heavily criticized by the americanists I know and it can be a grave error to assume that you've got the full picture from a high school textbook.
The model predicts a chance of winning, it doesn’t reflect the final vote percentages. In other words, a win is a win, regardless of whether it’s by a few votes or a landslide. That’s what the 80/20 represented. This is different than the polling averages. Though, electoral vote percentages are captured in 538’s model — they show a spread of possible win scenarios based on many numbers of runs of the model.
yeah, thanks for this, and sorry for edits, I need to search for a good reference on manufacturing/recycling emissions for renewables, i think the report either excludes or underestimates the bootstrapping and maintenance carbon footprint. I got my original info from a professor in nuclear engineering program years ago, I wish I still had the notes.

We are not even scratching the surface of the potential energy we extract from fission. If we approached it with the same vigour as renewable, and Greenpeace didn't effectively make Nuclear politically toxic, we might already be 'most of the way' towards carbon neutrality.

And FWIW, the migration doesn't work. The "thumbs up" playlist goes into YT Music "Liked music" which includes all sorts of other YouTube "music-ish" videos that we have liked over the years and the order is all jacked up, plus mixed with all that other stuff.

So your "Liked Music" is now, not what you intended. The migration was super botched by the product team because of this.
Ok - so this is much more interesting than the more trivial green bubbles comment I originally replied to, which decidedly was not making this point.

It’s true that if you need to interact with people on most of these systems, you need an account. I have a Facebook account I use only for messenger, and I would prefer not to.

However, your argument has a few flaws.

1. I obviously haven’t excluded the people would would like to choose a non-mainstream device but who hasn’t.

2. You seem to assume that I won’t install apps so that I can communicate with people who don’t use the networks I’m already part of. That’s not a reasonable assumption. I have quite a few messaging apps installed, some of which I use with just one person.

The question this raises for me is - are there any federated messaging networks that do not have any clients available for mainstream platforms, but are in significant use?
I should add, because it just occurred to me, that my question was clearly answerable - if smart contracts could be done ethically.

The GP or anyone could say, "glad you asked about ethics, here is how I think you can do smart contract ethically; [insert explanation for how to do this]". I mean, "How do you justify X" is calling for an answer, right? Some things even have good justifications.
Vulnerable, but resoundingly not "just as vulnerable." Just this year, this community is where I learned that COVID-19 was going to be huge and devastating to the world as early as mid February, with lockdowns, financial devastation, masks and social distancing are required, etc. Meanwhile people like us had to argue with relatives and friends for a whole 'nother month as they thought we're overreacting, masks are useless, "just wash your hands, nothing to be too concerned about." For all its faults, HN is better informed on reality than most groups of people.

You can't get it because nobody can afford to make one. It's technically feasible but from a business perspective it's not something achievable; the closest would be something like the Pinephone, but that is suboptimal to say the least.
I really have no idea. It just seems hard for me to believe Biden will win either Florida or Pennsylvania, even though I see the polls are predicting that.
Then let me be the first.

YouTube Music has the one feature I care about: A catalogue that includes everything from well-known music from top artists, to the random indie music that got a grand total of 10,000 views on YouTube when it was published 8 years ago.

Sure I could download these songs (assuming RIAA takes its teeth out of youtube-dl) and upload them to most music players, but YouTube Music facilitates discovery and does all the work for me.
Nobody is ever going to clean up Chernobyl because it happened in a location where the surrounding land is basically forest so there is no real incentive for anybody to want to allocate resources to do anything about it.

Hanford is basically the same thing except that the US actually cares enough to do something about it, just not enough to do it quickly.

The cleanup for Fukushima is likely to be completed before either of them because it's a location that people actually care about cleaning up.

DVTRN is right, even if with attribution every marketing initiative was worth undertaking cash is still constrained from a fixed standpoint so you have to force rank prioritize what to purchase.
I've created http://youtube-dl-sources.org/ with links to a static torrent and IPFS content.

It's not much but I would like the sources to be easily accessible.
In what remotely plausible scenario would that have happened? Feel free to involve USSR-specific issues, reactor safety of the time, etc.

Because from what I know, the fallout from it literally exploding is not making anything nearly that large "uninhabitable", even if we literally stand around and did nothing against it. Deaths would go up, but so did they from the coal plants that were subsequently built (we're at 3 million deaths a year, if memory serves; that's the number you have to beat to make nuclear less attractive than the technology we did build. Every year. Millions of people.).

Edit: a quick search suggests 4 million now, or another source says 10k/day which works out to 3.7 million per year (from results' summaries shown on DDG) but feel free to find reliable sources.
Mad props to the team at Vercel! I used Next.js once a few years ago when it first came out and it left me wanting... but I'm super glad I gave it another go now.

> Are there multiple stop kinds that are somewhat difficult to distinguish against and keep track of?

Every type of an event has a dedicated pair of SIGNAL + SI_CODE (in siginfo_t).

The types of events are as follows: regular signals (usually not interesting for a debugger - NetBSD can mask them with PT_SET_SIGPASS), crashes (SIGSEGV, SIGFPE, SIGILL, SIGBUS) and debugger related events (SIGTRAP). Then, each debugger related event is distinguishable with checking si_code inside siginfo_t (TRAP_TRACE, TRAP_BRKP, TRAP_CHLD, TRAP_LWP, TRAP_DBREG, TRAP_SCE, TRAP_SCX) and in a few more cases with the additional ptrace(2) call PT_GET_PROCESS_STATE that can query additional information (spawned/exited thread; forked/vforked/spawned process).

Thus we always have the exact thread + type of event.

There is one tricky case that is harder to code. It's related to hardware assisted watchpoints, especially in multi-threaded processes with concurrent events of all kinds. We need to diligently handle the context of x86 Debug Registers that delivers the additional information about the fired hardware assisted watchpoint/breakpoint.

> How you handle a child dying while stopped, or is this not possible?

A stopped and traced child cannot just die, but it could be killed with SIGKILL. Then further ptrace(2) calls fail on it.

> I don't think NetBSD has the same "tasks" model that Linux does, how do you distinguish between requests targeting threads and requests targeting the whole process?

Generally, we have a pair of PID (process) + LWP (thread). We have got per-process + per-thread ptrace(2) operations. Whenever a thread is meaningful, like in the management of register contexts, we pass LWP as the 4th argument of the ptrace(2) call or embed in a structure transmitted from/to the kernel.

In Linux, the ptrace(2) call is per-thread only, which allows some flexibility (the GDB non-stop mode), but introduces the complexity of the management. The NetBSD kernel serializes the events inside the kernel and stops all the threads before returning to the debugger.

> How do the rest of the OS APIs interact with a ptrace stopped process?

It's an internal detail whether a process is stopped by a debugger, by the terminal or actively running. This is orthogonal to other system APIs. Generally we try to make the fact of being traced to be transparent to other applications, for example we fake the parent PID (after reparenting, that happens after attach). There are some corner cases and real bugs in applications that are exposed under a debugger, such as missing EINTR handling.

The NetBSD Project over the past few years significantly improved in the domain of debuggers (GDB, LLDB) and developer-oriented tooling (sanitizers, compilers). Thus, there is still room for improvement!
Yes, and we don't even need to use uranium, and it doesn't need to be as dangerous. Fusion is mainly a problem of scaling the system up now I believe, there are a few possible fuels depending on the method if I recall correctly.
Best thing would be for them to just upload their own test videos with the various formats and test against those.

Do you know of anything that might be applicable here for arguing a distinction between test cases and actual source code? It's a silly example but bringing a replica weapon through airport security is legal, I imagine, if done to test the security system. From a legal layman's perspective, testing on real data doesn't show intent but is instead good engineering to show that the code is verified for correctness.
