Weil that support the Linux add-on inside Chrome OS?
WebGL does have a strong sandbox, just like HTML/CSS/ES do. But desktop OpenGL has a strong sandbox too (by API design, process control, device memory paging protection, etc.), so I’m not sure why you’re thinking the threat models are any different, it’s just as bad if a game secretly hacks your computer as if a web site does. Desktop OpenGL development is dying anyway, so it doesn’t really matter how fast it is compared to WebGL in the future, but I don’t believe it is faster than WebGL due to any sandbox differences. Whatever speed differences exist are there due to features and design and speed of the host language.
I’ve heard this over and over, but I never understood it. How is Git supposed to be decentralized when you push and pull from one place? Would you just set up multiple “origins” with each one pointing to a head maintainer’s computer (and named appropriately)? Because that sounds like a massive pain compared to a centralized system like GitHub.

Of course, there is the benefit of a VCS built on the idea of decentralization: not having to be online to make commits (cough SVN cough). But, in theory, could a centralized system work in “offline mode” like Git?
Try cycling across LA...
I am not American, I am Polish. And having a car here is pretty much a necessity unless you live in the center of a big city. Unfortunately, most research in this seems to focus on places like Amsterdam or Berlin, but it completely ignores the reality outside of city center of capital cities.
It works best without any other plugins but the community is very active and issues (which there definitely are, i.e., on a touchscreen you can still only place water/lava where the pointer would be on java) are addressed really fast.

If you drop the plugin into the plugin folder of your mc server (recommended server is paper) it should work after a restart.
Check every previously generated salt with the currently received email for collision.
Value = proper Office suite online and offline with proper document formatting and files + more storage. Altogether cheaper than G Suite. Also it's really great value to have Office installed locally as a proper software. Not a crappy dumbed down browser web-site.
What’s the basis for your 2x-4x speed difference estimate?
True, but maybe deepfakes can help challenge or prevent the "alternatives"? They are fairly cheap to make. They seem like they could be a great tool for challenging authoritarianism.
This is a pure and perfect version of the past that did not exist. Bigotry was always here. And even in the few "polite" places that smacked of Leave It To Beaver that didn't talk about "those people" at the dinner table, it was just under the surface. Or, like sexism, openly accepted, so don't worry your pretty little head about it, honey. Social media did not change this.

The larger change has to do with where people get their news. It's not the same big 3 networks anymore. There are fewer actual local news sources (like papers). The stuff that's marketed to people as news is targeted but generally untethered from everyday life. It can be pretty raw ideology.
Well, others would be doing it anyway. Deepfakes are something you can do at home, today (if you're willing to spend some time and money on power to train them).

By being so open about it Stone and Parker will just increase awareness of how easy it is to do, so people will know how realistic these things can look and not blindly believe what they see.

So, again, what these guys are doing is a true public service.

Wait a second. Back up. Let's be clear here: the case you are talking about is the user entering their own email address incorrectly, and you're saying we as designers/developers should make a system that knows this and sends it to the correct email? What? Huh? If Person@place.com and person@place.com are two different recipients, how the hell is my application supposed to know which one you actually mean!?
Daylight Saving Time
Isn't school one of those manipulation techniques?
But nobody actually does that.
One of the earlier proposals for DST suggested shifting by 20 minutes four times in spring and back four times in autumn. Counting hours from sunrise or sunset (instead of noon) was common in the ancient world. (They were often rubber hours so there were always 12 hours of day and 12 of night regardless of the season.)

Some years ago I sketched a way to do smoothed DST based on when the sun rises. The trick is to avoid time zone differences due to differences in latitude (as well as longitude). I chose to use sunrise at the nearest tropic as the benchmark, which gives you a gradual DST adjustment of about an hour and a half between winter and summer, changing by up to a minute or two each day. http://catless.ncl.ac.uk/Risks/search?query=Sunrise+time+Fin...
Some create more wealth than others. Bob creating more wealth than Fred does not mean that Bob took it from Fred. There's nothing unfair about Bob creating more than Fred.

Sure, I think this is pretty much universally recognized. But if Bob creates 10x the wealth but receives 100x the income, that is unfair. And that is the situation that many believe we find ourselves in, where the wealthy are being systematically over-rewarded by the system we have in place to distribute the wealth that is being created.
My worry that has happened with Trump’s presidency is the normalization that has occurred. For example, it is not my impression or understanding that Trump has any actual policies or stances and that he does not actually do any presiding. My understanding is that if he is not rallying, he is either tweeting, vacationing, or watching TV and barely takes on more than a few meetings a day. A president who reportedly spends upwards of six to eight hours a day watching TV is no president. The problem is that he is simply a caricature of a president, letting others do the actual policing making and tasks behind the scenes. For example, Trump doesn’t have anything to do with his own supposed immigration policies. They’re primarily written by a third generation Jewish immigrant who somehow is a white supremacist.

The secondary effect of this normalization is the normalization of hate. That is, the idea that these policies rooted in hate and bigotry are somehow normalized into legitimate stances. It’s mind boggling to me that a person with the last name of Gomez as found in the article could somehow support policies that have Mexican children in concentration camps on U.S. soil. We’re all immigrants here who forcefully took this land. It’s mind boggling that anyone in the U.S. could hate immigrants enough to want them treated the way the Trump “presidency” has.

It’s just very concerning. A president who is not a president is treated as one, and it legitimatizes his hateful and ignorant words. Trump likely has clinical personality disorders, and I would not be surprised if his mental capacity is extremely low. He took on running for presidency as yet another attempt to recover his brand and be a source of revenue, and it’s in all likelihood that if he loses, he will be launching his own TV network, i.e. continuing to abuse his presidency to further his brand. He basically only won in the first place due to the undue influence of Robert Mercer, a living breathing Bond villain.

Trump is a literal cancer and has been used as a character actor by the Republican Party. That is it. Whether someone dislikes Democrats or whatever, you cannot argue for the legitimacy of Trump and his presidency.
The truth is that American politics has one divide and basically always has:

- white conservatives and reactionary nonwhites, primarily unified by racialist ideas about rights and citizenship

- white liberals and socialists, and a vast cohort of nonwhites, ranging from Marxist to fire-and-brimstone conservative

It’s really a huge mistake to lump the latter cohort in the “left” and deeply related to why almost all conservative black people (excerpt for the truly radical or careerist) refuse to vote for Republicans.
The whole idea of having (awaitable) process descriptors in addition to PIDs is amazing. Suddenly, you don't need wait/waitpid/wait3/wait4/SIGCHLD or even PID 1. When the last process descriptor vanishes, the process itself can be purged from the process table.

And Win8 added nested jobs, so now you can basically have inescapable process groups with "if the leader process dies, terminate all its children and grandchildren" semantics. On Linux, I had to just give up and use Docker containers for this: some software simply insists on daemonizing itself too much, to the point that on receiving SIGTERM, it re-sends SIGTERM to everyone in its process group (including you, the unsuspecting parent. That was very "funny" to debug).

But of course, the downside of Windows is that the amount of legacy crap and weird quirks and incompatibilities is insane, even more than in x86. "The Windows low-level APIs wouldn't recognize "general" if it showed up in a uniform with stars on the shoulder." (c) njsmith

>> I disagree, and I think this kind of fundamentalism hurts the adoption of type safety.

For what it's worth, I got a similar impression: An excessively narrow (implied) definition of "type safety", based on which newtype wrappers are criticized, while minimizing or denying the benefit of newtypes over type aliases in preventing errors matching arguments to functions. E.g. the `newtype Email = Email String` example someone mentions down-thread, which has clear benefits as soon as there's a function `sendEmail :: Email -> IO ()`. Benefits that I'd argue many people would be happy to see as part of "type safety".
The problem has always been accountability. If we can devise a system that includes accountability in the authority we could be on to something.

Democracy has accountability by virtue of everyone having a vote. It’s a small power that everyone can use to hold their leaders to account. But it still allows people to hold arbitrary power over each other. If you can convince enough people, you can apply your morals and beliefs on others. For instance, lots of discrimination is a function of democracy and codifying oppression of certain people.

We sit here furiously debating who can use a bathroom, who gets preferential treatment, who you have to interact with and a million other things. “Both sides” are bent on forcing people to behave a certain way and they use the power of the vote everyone has to accumulate power and make things “how they ought to be”.

I think this could be done democratically but everyone has different interests. How do we find a common, singular interest and then optimize around that?

Or maybe democracy is the “best bad system” and we just have to make do. I do believe with the hyper connected world we have today, cryptography, and resource abundance that we could transcend the modern system and discover liberation from each other to be ourselves and pursue truly enriching lives at a mass scale within local communities. And this means a different thing to different people. But just about everything in our modern system would need to be disposed of and recast.
Like anything, I prefer choice. So if some software shops want to unionize, great. But I want the ability to join a company and not join the union, or failing that, be able to join non-unionized companies. If the goal is to force all software engineers to unionize, and then forcibly prohibit all non-unionized people from working in software, it's simply coercion and I absolutely cannot support it.
How to Properly Monitor Your K8s Clusters and Pods
Launched on HN and PH and the results are surprising
Hi everyone!

We are making IoT devices for car owners which provide tracking, diagnostics, maintenance and enhanced security features.

Ultimately, the goal is to save money, time and trouble for our customers.

This is our website: www.cargenta.com

We launched about a month ago on Hacker News and Product Hunt and it didn’t go at all as expected. We did not ask for any upvotes in advance, just wanted to see the spontaneous people reaction. Here are the results:

- Hacker News: 6 upvotes and 0 comments

- Product Hunt: 1 upvote and 0 comments

- Website hits: 40 direct and 4 from Product Hunt

When we present the product to friends, occasional acquaintances and even to other founders on the group sessions in SUS, most are excited about it. Some people already asked to buy one.

But…on the internet the things look quite different. So, need your advice, what are we doing wrong?

Are people uncomfortable to tell us in person the product is useless or we cannot clearly transmit the value to the users on the internet? Are the posts headlines not catchy enough or maybe people just don’t care that much about the problem we are trying to solve? Are the upvotes for other products on HN and PH real or people just reach out to their entire network asking for upvotes (some do admit doing so). Do people on PH and HN even have their own cars?

What do you think from your standpoint? Constructive feedback is most welcome!

God, the dreaded endless loops. I've had it in Music, Play and several others. More fun is when a human enters the "loop." Yes, I've cleared cache and cookies, yes I've rebooted. In fact, with Music I'd even bought a new computer in the meanwhile, since the loop happened for literally years.

People have problems. That's society. The issue here is that society is ceasing to function because the mechanisms for addressing said problems have failed and the dam has burst, overwhelming every other aspect of life. It's unsustainable.
Most WINZ/StudyLink and IRD interactions are online now, and I got my passport 100% online using RealMe. I can't remember the last time I posted anything to government in NZ.
Not specific to browsers, but subscribing to RSS feeds of tools I use/depend on has been very useful.

On GitHub, for example, you can append "/releases.atom" to repository URLs and subscribe to that in your email client.

If you had a car in that nippy weather, you most likely were forced to install engine block heaters and literally plug your engine into an AC outlet overnight.

Electric vehicles can self-heat the batteries with internal heaters already installed. And you are probably plugging the car into charge overnight anyway.

Content aside, this is really interesting and I hope to see them do more attempts at humor using deepfakes.
There is no such thing as a conspiracy theory. Every conspiracy theory in existence can be explained in terms of math, technology, physics, psychology and behavioral biology. They are conspiracy theories because the average person refuses to believe basic science that was discoveres i the early 1900s.

It's 2020 and if you use science and technology from the early to mid 1900s in the right way people get confused and they believe there is some strange conspiracy.

Here is an example, I can get people to do things with online advertising. If I get people to do the right combination of things with the right combination of advertising it looks like magic to people who don't know about advertising, psychology and neuroscience.

"Not much scares me ... fucking shock"

The language is literally fear mongering. It's not an objective anecdote.
UTC or Unix epoch are good for datetimes in the past, e.g. for logging events. They're not good for future datetimes, e.g. for recording appointments.

Because in case of local timezone policy changes, in the vast majority of cases the intention is for the future event to stay constant in the local timezone, and be changed in UTC / epoch. If for example you made the mistake of storing store opening hours in UTC and translate it to local time in the UI, you will be showing the wrong time.

For appointments, you need both the datetime and the location/timezone. In case of cross-timezone appointments, e.g. virtual meetings, if there are timezone policy changes the issue cannot be resolved without rescheduling the event for some participants.
> The gap between the tribes is now so extreme it's practically evolutionary speciation, and Democrats and Republicans are barely breeding with each other.

> This is not a joke. The differences seem to be rooted in psychology - strongly correlated with parenting - and perhaps through inherited brain structure.

I have a hard time believing this. my own two parents are on more or less opposite ends of the mainstream political spectrum. in my generation, it seems pretty common to find right-leaning (especially libertarian) men dating liberal women. the socially conscious girlfriend gently scolding her boyfriend for saying something non-PC is so common, it's almost a trope at this point. the far-left progressives and full-on MAGA types seem incapable of coexisting in the same room for more than five minutes, but I don't think there are nearly as many of either of these as you would conclude from watching the news and reading social media.

most people just want to live their lives and don't see a compelling reason to scream their political positions out into the world. I think one of the likely outcomes in the next ten years is that we collectively realize the polarization of US culture was mostly an illusion.
"attacked"
Yes. The Pi 4 and 3+ can run Chromium pretty well, although earlier models will struggle a little.
All of G-Suite runs, although video conferencing is a little laggy in my experience. Often if you spoof your browser agent you get better compatibility with a lot of applications. I tend to tell sites that I'm using Chrome on ChromeOS, and things just tend to work.
A tonne of FOSS software works, and the only real limitation is whether it has been compiled for ARM chips or not.

Sounds similar, but whatever I had read was about the US intelligence community. Perhaps it was Edward Snowden's book.
am I the only one that doesn't support YouTube-dl? Are there use cases for it that are not downloading content that is not your own?
I agree. They're really great if you need well-priced, no-hassle infrastructure. As others have already mentioned, they may not have some of the higher-level features that AWS comes with, but if you don't need these, then there's no reason to be paying more for it.

I'm really fascinated by their approach to building datacenters, which seems to include taking over disused industrial sites and converting them for datacenter use. For example, their datacenter just outside of Montreal is on the site of an old aluminum smelter [0]. In this case, I'm sure the proximity to plentiful and cheap hydroelectric power nearby (as would have been beneficial for aluminum smelting in the past) was a major factor in the choice of location as well.

The supposed claim wasn’t that it could be used for piracy (despite many here parroting that claim), but that they advertise that it could be. I haven’t read the actual claim, but it seems they’re basing their argument on a block of test code that uses a video containing RIAA copyrighted music. It’s sketchy at best, but there’s a reason BitTorrent clients make no mention of piracy sites at all; The MPAA and RIAA are extremely litigious and will use any opportunity they get.
Yes but if you do that then they have nothing to sell you.
Articles about “conservative bias” get pretty good engagement. It’s interesting to see the flip side of that accusation playing out in reality.

The Election and the Missing Error Bars on Covid and Flu Death Numbers [video]
Let them pay to take you to court—
Ludwig’s reign was from 1825 to 1848 and it was constructed during it, but the idea predates it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walhalla_(memorial)

“It was conceived in 1807 by Crown Prince Ludwig in order to support the gathering momentum for the unification of the many German states. Following his accession to the throne of Bavaria, construction took place between 1830 and 1842 under the supervision of the architect Leo von Klenze”
The shift in where people live is increasingly toward cities, and away from places where one is dependent on a car. That trend needs to continue for us to continue to afford our infrastructure and survive as a species, so it's where we're going to focus.
