This crate makes it easy to both:

* Write UEFI applications in Rust. It (UEFI) provides an early boot environment for OS loaders, hypervisors and other low-level applications.

* Call UEFI functions from an OS (usually built with a custom target)
> I have tried a ssh port forward solution earlier, but the connection fell down, did not always come up after boot and was generally unreliable.

WireGuard is a great solution, but I have heard people speak highly of autossh, which I believe may solve this.
That's exactly what I meant. The app interface is good for conveying information. But if you know what you'll order, eg - popcorn every weekend, just saying "Jarvis, order my usual popcorn combo" is so much more seamless.
I'd add in Postman into that workflow, especially if there's headers you need to know about which are non-obvious in the xhr url.
From the network tab of your browser's debugger, copy the network request as cURL, paste the cURL into Postman's import, and then click the "code" button to translate to python (or whatever else) code.
I wonder what this is? My very first impression is a standard boot screen. No details. No screenshots. No idea what makes it special outside of "it works". On the first click, it wants access to my calendar.

No. Mine.

This is flirting. Show me why I should be interested before I bare my soul.
Ah okay. Note that GLR isn't exactly modern (1974). However, I would also remove "modern" as a requirement here... what really matters is how good the algorithm is, not how old it is. "Modern" algorithms easily end up being less powerful than the old ones... they just end up becoming popular due to other factors, e.g. simplicity.
OpenWater doesn't have enough resolution. I find their PR kinda sketchy because it makes a lot of emphasis on laser and optical things, which they use, but rarely mentions that the fact that they rely on an ultrasound beacon makes their best-case temporal and spatial resolution not as exciting.

The tech is really cool, as in a portable MRI-like device is really cool even if it's resolution is way worse than a big MRI machine. But it's nowhere near "brain scanning for brain upload" territory because of fundamental physical laws that they actually choose to work withing the constraints of.

I would really like to see something like OpenWater but used to help with de-scattering LiDAR on rainy/foggy days. I'm not sure if it's possible but from my limited understanding I think it's worth the try.
Resonate with this alot. I often found that when I was doing labor work at home or helping someone else, I easily find myself focused and in the zone of whatever I'm doing. I often find myself thinking as I drive by construction sites or watching tradesmen/contractors work, that I should have gone into that line of work.
Australia.

After a (relatively) small second wave spike in one of the states (Victoria) which is now under control, there are very few cases of community transmission.

It’s the result of a combination of: controlled island borders, unpopular but effective internal hard borders between some states, mandatory managed hotel quarantine for inbound passengers, well-executed contact tracing by health departments, broad access to PCR testing now returning results usually within 12-24 hours, and a population that’s been surprising willing to “take one for the team” and go into lockdowns and wear masks when needed.

Sounds nice. Was that pre-pandemic? Or was it already policy when you got there?
Seeing those trash magazines at stores always makes me think less of the store owner. At best, they provide no value. At worst, they prey on the under-educated and spread dangerous misinformation.
You're allowed free speech as long as its our free speech.
Thanks. Personally, I think that access to raw, unedited videos (that more often than not do exist these days) would clear up the majority of modern political controversies. Often, either the truth becomes clear, or the video disqualifies itself as being a source of news.
I wonder which leads to a faster emulated machine?
This is great to hear! Rapportive's story is really impressive as well :) We hope to become the Superhuman of contacts!

The only thing that makes Twitter's action as political is that we have a radical segment of the US's population which is hell-bent on supporting a smear campaign against a candidate they feel threatened about even though they are well aware the campaign is based on false or misleading info likely force-fed by a totalitarian regime.

And to make matters worse, this radical group doesn't even care if the information is available or not, they only care about spreading it as far and wide as it's conceivable and attack anyone that they deem reactionary, including social networks that flag posts as having unsubstantiated information.
As the product of another of the Governor's Schools in Virginia, I've been in favor of the move away from admissions tests to increase diversity opportunity. A lot of students can't afford $100 for testing, and GPA should be a fine proxy for student performance.

Give it a few years to see if the drop-out rate changes.
The best teacher is experience. If you feel like your skills have plateaued, I recommend looking for a new job using very hard technology and having world-class colleagues to learn from. Doesn't matter how much study you do, you will top out if your largest investment per week is building CRUD apps.
Gosh! So Pink Floyd were wrong! There Is a dark side of the Moon!
You don't need a DSLR. A regular point-and-shoot[0] which costs $100, fits in your pocket and has an electronic retractable lens (and many times optical zoom) is going to blow away anything recent phone cameras can do (photography wise), bar handheld night photos where the additional processing does help even out blurriness. If you can remember to bring your phone, you can remember to bring a point-and-shoot, and they both fit in your pocket.

The insane quality upgrade you get from a point-and-shoot is because they have a much bigger sensor and a real lens and focus light brilliantly well, and if you want bokeh you don't need any of that crap fake blur processing to achieve what physics will do for you.

I often feel like people have forgotten or never even knew how good images can be with an actual camera, and it doesn't have to be a DSLR at all.

If you want a camera, buy a camera, not a phone.

This is not the most serious problem, by far.
I met Kevin at the YC hackathon last year and first heard about Kevin's ideas around note-taking there. I'm really enjoying Dendron so far.

The biggest thing for me is the lightweight structure- I would have never created a hierarchical structure if I had to create multiple nested folders every time I wanted a new category.

Hoping for some mobile support in the future.
Something is seriously wrong with hacker news if I'm getting downvoted for this comment.

This place is worse than reddit, and that is hard to achieve.
Anyone have recommendations for an RSS Reader for Android? Specifically, I'm looking for one that:

- doesn't have advertisements or tracking

- doesn't require an account

And I am definitely willing to pay for it.
And this. Which is EXACTLY what Ring figured out and so they took all those doorbell cameras, gave local law enforcement access, and now even on residential streets there are hundreds of cameras they have easy access too.
Some people prefer the feeing of being busy to actually shipping things.
Very interesting, and thanks.

> the running code is not even provided with a way to access itself.

You can do the same thing with some ELF post-processing. I have done this, and used it over several months now. It works just fine, even though there is nothing in the RISC-V standard that explicitly says this must be true.

I asked the GCC people and they consider it a bug if there's any data in the text-segment. So, at leas there is that. Maybe we can call it optional support? :)
I don't know about you but I consider sticking a needle deep through the brain to be a surgery. I guess the authors are using a more technical definition. No doubt this will help speed up research in labs.

For actual no surgery stimulation of deep brain tissues there's arrays of low powered ultrasound and interferometric transcranial alternating current. And if 4.5 mm deep is the goal-line even the current practice transcranial magnetic stimulation with a butterfly coil can do the job (more awkwardly).
Do you think this could solve Tinnitus and other ear related diseases? How long do you think it will take to heal several brain-/nerve-related diseases?
Parsing RISC-V assembly
"Comparitech researchers collated a number of data resources and reports, including government reports, police websites, and news articles, to get some idea of the number of CCTV cameras in use in 150 major cities across the globe. We focused primarily on public CCTV—cameras used by government entities such as law enforcement."

They seem like VERY vey rough estimates. China probaly has the most surveilled city in the world. But effectiveness of camera's is a much more important factor. I've heard of many places in china where you are forced trough gates with photocamera's or active surveillance. China is more than likely to have the most fake camera's in the world as well.

In computer security, we often talk about the lack of distinction between malice and ignorance---if the security system is bad, it doesn't matter if the attacker is intent on causing harm or merely innocently curious and hack-sawing away through your computer security for fun. The outcome is the same.

I think the same principle applies here. Malicious racism and passive racism have the same effect.
'The "common person" is honestly pretty depressing.'

The "common person" is the one doing the moderating on the platforms. There is no pool of superintelligent, superwise, super-everything people doing the hard work of moderating on the platform. It's just common people.

It's not even a good sample of common people. It has a very particular slant to it; very American, for one thing.
Chilling Effect to let all know what will happen to them, if they don't follow the Business Party.
A typical adult that has gone into IT, and specifically programming. Do you know what their life expectancy is in that field? 5 years. 80% of them move on after 5 years.

Stop teaching kids how to program! You are decreasing the pool of unenlightened idiots we need to keep the industry rolling along.
I feel similarly but pretty much knew by the end of college that I wasn't interested in the typical web dev roles. I wound up in database development for my last couple jobs and now have ended up in charge of a lot of systems I built myself that interact with those databases and serve as the backend (and pseudo-frontend?) for all kinds of integrations for a small manufacturing company.

I'm not really well compensated for my work, but am somewhat paralyzed by the fact that I just don't know what to look for in a job anymore. I considered looking for a devops role in a company that prioritizes ownership of their systems (i.e. implementation of their own pipelines on their own metal rather than aws or similar), but it seems like the likelihood of finding a company like that which also values good infrastructure practices is pretty unlikely. I find that when I ask about whether finding such a role is realistic in chat rooms or forums about devops work the responses range from confused to derisive.

Did you find the crowd that resonated with your sentiments through contributions to open source? I've been thinking about looking into open source meetups in my area as a way of expanding my understanding of what I want to do.
You can load your own modules on your own hardware, so certain level of play is still available for you. Worst case you will have to put a custom bootloader setup that can be as simple as shell with autostart script, that for example loads your modules as drivers.

It will require some storage (local EFI filesystem) or network location to load them from, but that's it.

OK, here you go: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_war#Broadening_of_the_...

Specifically, stuff like QAnon, facemask protests, BLM, trans rights, "white privilege", anthem protests, etc etc etc. There's pretty widespread recognition in the US of culture war flashpoints.

But before I engage anymore: are you American? Because we're discussing these political topics in the US context in this thread, explicitly.
Either way it's ridiculous. Most news is unverified. And the NY Post article wasn't hacked information.
Only half the population actually votes. Elections are won / lost on voter turnout, not convincing undecideds. You just don’t know which half is voting.

His point is to get people to vote.
This looks extremely impressive and polished, especially for a single dev. Looking forward to trying. Congrats
A few years ago, Mozilla had a tabless browser based on Servo. It was actually pretty cool.
The availability of masks is far higher than vaccines, though. You can order a box of masks on the internet and have them same-day delivered to your home. The scarcity and logistics of delivering a vaccine once it becomes available are both factors that make the effectiveness that much more important.
A quote from a partisan hack willing to undermine US national security to back up Trump

> Ratcliffe is well known for criticizing the FBI and the special counsel investigation as being biased against Trump. Ratcliffe has also alleged that Russian interference may have benefited Trump's 2016 rival candidate Hillary Clinton more than it benefited Trump. American intelligence agencies, the Senate Intelligence Committee and Robert Mueller have maintained that Russia interfered to help Trump. A week before Trump's announcement, Ratcliffe had argued that the special counsel investigation put Trump "below the law" because it declined to exonerate Trump. Later, Ratcliffe claimed on Fox News that the special counsel investigation's report was not written by special counsel Robert Mueller, but by "Hillary Clinton’s de facto legal team".[63][8]

Democrats asserted Ratcliffe was unqualified and too partisan to serve in such a role, which is historically considered relatively nonpartisan.[64] Some Republicans also privately expressed discontent with his selection and concerns about his ability to be confirmed.[65] However, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr and Senator John Cornyn expressed confidence in him.[66][67] Democratic senators including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Ron Wyden, a member of the Intelligence Committee, said that Ratcliffe’s only qualification for the office appeared to be "blind loyalty" to Trump, noting that he has promoted some of Trump’s conspiracy theories about the Russia investigation and has called for prosecution of Trump’s political enemies.[68][63] Several former members of the intelligence community expressed concerns that Ratcliffe's appointment risked politicizing intelligence work.[5][69] They expressed fear that with Ratcliffe as DNI, Trump would in effect be assuming personal control over the intelligence community, which would then be expected to tell him only what he wants to hear.[70] They stressed the need for intelligence to be "candid, truthful and accurate even if it is unpleasant and does not confirm to the biases of the president".[8]
"To avoid this, the Stanford team used a type of PHP virus developed at CalTech that can be injected in the blood. The virus then crosses the blood-brain barrier to deliver its payload, an opsin gene, to brain cells. In this case, even the delivery of the gene is noninvasive—no needle penetrates the brain."

I'm not doubting that at all. Was it VB6's fault or MSSQL's?

I am wondering if it is a good idea to say outright that you want to maximize your income, and disclosing previous salary works counter to that goal. At the end of the day there's nothing surprising about such statement.
No, that's not how the DMCA or copyright works at all.

Youtube-dl will not win this argument based on technical details on how content is provided by a licensee to an end user. That's irrelevant to how copyright law works. The entire history of copyright law has been about preventing the unauthorized copying of protected works through technical means, so copyright laws are deliberately agnostic to how the technical details are implemented. In the case of the DMCA, all that is required is that some technical effort went into restricting the unauthorized copying of licensed content.

A lot of HN commenters have pointed out that the technical efforts were quite simple: obfuscating the name of the cache file in the browser's cache folder. But for legal purposes that is sufficient. And if it's not, then in the very near future Youtube will no longer store RIAA music videos (or possibly any content) in an accessible cache folder, and congratulations: youtube-dl (and its competitors) won't work at all for it's namesake site.
Having a graph-based interface for the relationships is nice.

But i think this works best with big monitor (think 43'') and when the graph is the main interface, not just a small window somewhere.
I.e. display the content of nodes directly in an infinite-pan&zoom graph view.

Code reading could be nice this way. I suppose mentally one builds up a similar graph everytime reading through code. And eventually get lost. One can hold only so many things in flesh(sic) memory...
There isn't a binary outcome here.

Twitter can stop an account which causes harm without being immediately required to block all accounts which may cause harm.

Apologies for the tangential question. I am currently working on a codebase that involves trying to understand code that parses and input string (that has various search parameters and values) and generates an appropriate SQL query to search the associated database. I am struggling to build a mental model of how this parsing works. Will going through one of the resources mentioned in this thread help with my understanding?
For those who are web-devs, I'd highly recommend you take a look at Wapp - A Web-Application Framework for TCL [0] by D. Richard Hipp (of SQLite fame). It's simple enough to start with and the source code is a great intro to TCL.

I see, yeah, librsync's misleading name has clearly caused a lot of wasted time.
No, it doesn't.

Especially since the RIAA isn't suing a member on behalf of a non-member.

It's simply sending a takedown notice to a member who happens to be hosting something on a subsidiary's website.
There's nothing to appreciate in an unmaintained system with exponentially increasing number of issues that lead to the whole collapse of the processes running the system.

I'm much more appreciative of the fault tolarence that it achieves, but prefer maintaining it in a great state.
I do not see the advantage of talking to computer. I can see the advantage of talking to my Google mini in my bathroom while I am showering. I see the advantage of asking my car to change music while driving. But literally zero advantages of talking to my laptop. My hands can move lot faster than my mouth. I can set shortcuts that help me do things lot faster than the whole pain of talking to the computer.

2. Restart Firefox

3. Click ... in the address bar and then "use this site in app mode"

4. Launch directly from command line or shortcut: firefox -ssb "https://news.ycombinator.com"

It's unrealistic to get off-camera flash on iPhone unless two could be paired together with a friend holding iPhone acting as a flash. But what could be done easily is a ring flash around the rear camera that would make most portraits bearable instead of horrible basic flash.

John Paul "Mac" Isaac is not even remotely trustworthy and nothing about the story is plausible.

According to a Daily Beast interview, Isaac “switched back and forth” between saying that he contacted the FBI and saying the FBI contacted him. He also claimed that the FBI asked him for help in accessing the drive, though he didn’t indicate that the drive was encrypted or protected in any way.

There’s are several huge missing pieces in this story. For example, what did Isaac say to the FBI? “Hello, someone brought in a computer, and I think it belongs to Beau Biden.” If so, why would the FBI say anything other than, “Then give it back?” Why would Beau Biden dropping off a wet laptop cause the FBI to have any interest at all?

This, then, is the “official” story from the Post and Giuliani: A mysterious stranger drops off a laptop at a shop belonging to a legally blind Trump supporter who has said disparaging things about Biden. Nine months later, the FBI asks for that computer. Then 10 months after that, Giuliani hands over to the New York Post what he says is a copy of that computer’s hard drive. In between those dates, we have nothing. Well, nothing except for more Facebook statements from Isaac, who does devote some time to saying that Trump’s impeachment is a sham, but says nothing at all about Hunter Biden’s crack-smoking video that he found on a computer left at his store. And we have a lot of statements from Giuliani during this period, many of them essentially identical to what will eventually appear in the Post story.
Immortality seems like a better problem to have than mortality. Easier to solve if it goes awry. And I would rather live forever (well, indefinitely) than have children, acknowledging that some would prefer the latter or insist on both.

But fiddling with the brain, maybe there's a way to implant the sensation and memories of having lived for thousands of years when it was really only 80. Or maybe implant a couple hundred years and trim the actual life down to 2 or 3 years for ethical reasons if living is so unethical.
Oh. So I missed the entire point of the paper. Yikes. Thanks for the correction. But how is the transfection localized to the VTA if it's administered peripherally and not within the target tissue?
