Most of the settings reverts ars bugs not caught by Insiders. A volunteer test force is always going to be biased by the types of people willing to participate.

Personally, since a major Windows update or two ago I only have one settings panel I actively use that is still a Win32 dialog and not directly in the modern Settings app. That's the Environment Variables dialog, and being a developer/power user control panel I can see how that would be a lower priority to merge to the new Settings. Though it is still interesting to point out that the Environment Variables dialog was improved in Windows 10 over its Windows 7 counterpart.

It shouldn't be surprising to anyone at this point that Microsoft is prioritizing settings updates and merging settings dialogs into the modern app in priority order based on available telemetry of what's most commonly used. It never surprises me that most of the people still complaining that their pet settings that they care about haven't migrated to the modern Settings apps are the same that disable telemetry and complain about it. Microsoft doesn't know you are using that setting often if you aren't giving them the telemetry to understand that, it's pretty simple.
The FPGA companies need help with software because quite frankly, their software sucks - so damn buggy. And yet, here they could get some significant help for not much $$. But Xilinx and Altera prefer having customers locked in. I've long thought that the best way for the smaller players to gain marketshare is for them to actively court open source - not only to allow it, but to encourage and fund it.
I actually want to do that. I do purchase refills whenever possible, and I hope such mechanisms are more accessible.

It's ridiculous how many things are thought of as "disposable" today.

For instance, any hand wash comes with a pretty good and durable dispenser. But rarely do I see refills being sold, except when you specifically search for it online.

And pens, especially ball pens. The outfit is perfectly reusable, while rarely do I see the refill being sold. Instead, it's just 20 ball pens sold in a giant bundle. It's like they want to encourage you to throw away everything.
If I design tests to capture the spirit of the class / module, the line coverage is only 50-60%. In Go each method needs a lot of individual attention to exercise all the error return branches up to a 90%+ coverage standard.
> We also need to produce plastics that can and will be recycled.

We need to use recyclable and biodegradable materials or at a minimum, just biodegradable materials (Or relatively bio harmless materials like glass). Even in the best cases, some percentage of material won't get recycled. In many cases, plastic should be replaced by something other than more plastic.
Those first two are claims not facts.
> I don't see how it's dramatically different for Twitter (or Facebook or Google) deciding to block the New York Post than it is for Comcast to do so.

If Comcast decides to block the New York Post, you can't see it at all until you change your Internet provider. That may involve breaking a contract, and will certainly cost you time and money. And that's if you have a choice at all - large swathes of the country have only one ISP. Many apartment buildings only have hookups for one provider.

If TwitFaceGoog don't show NYP links you're free to type in their domain name in your web browser and go to the site directly.

Suggesting there's no difference between the two is dishonest.
Google, OpenAI and DeepMind: Behaviour Priors Can Boost RL and Generalization
In a new paper, researchers from Google, OpenAI, and DeepMind introduce "behaviour priors," a framework designed to capture common movement and interaction patterns that are shared across a set of related tasks or contexts.
Alone was fascinating to binge on netflix. The winner of the season I watched had a whole elk to eat and was still losing dangerous amounts of weight over the course of the season. I would have never guessed that he would have struggled so much with such bounty.
Ah, this would make sense. They mean if I put data in the url and retrieve it from there. www.example.com/search?q=abcd would be fine in that interpretation.
> It's one thing to be mistaken for subtle or deep reasons and say "this is how science works". It's another to be sloppy and say "this is how science works".

There is a difference, but since both kinds of errors are widespread among humans, and science addresses both problems with a common solution, and nonscientific methods of generating systems of belief about the material world are prone to error due to their failures to correct both problems, I don't think there's really that material of a difference unless you mean “you” in the narrow individual sense of the specific actor making the initial error, in which case—and only in which case—is the difference at all significant.
A tour of std.crypto in Zig 0.7.0 – Frank “jedisct1” Denis
Rationing could be an issue, if he had reason to ration. Maybe if he got lost deeper within the park and was on his way out. Depends on how much food he had with him, when he was previously buying supplies, etc.
I was also the victim of a T-Mobile SIM swap back in February.

My assumption is that the attackers target individuals that have a high likelihood of owning bitcoin or other digital currency. This can be easily determined by looking at data breaches, and targeting emails that are found both on a cryptocurrency breach and a personal information breach with phone number, name, address, and anything else that would help impersonate the victim.

They accessed my insecure email with SMS authentication, but everything else was locked down more securely. Also, since that day I have been getting 20 times more spam calls and texts, I'm guessing they added my number to some other targeted list.
It’s pretty slow; usually somewhere between 10 and 100 times slower for most language runtimes. On newer devices this is less of a big deal, but only because they are ridiculously fast.
And literally 90%+ of your twitter feed (www.twitter.com/ocdtrekkie, this is not doxxing, the user mentions their twitter handle in their HN profile) is full of posts against Google and big-tech in general, including several retweets of low-effort anti-FAANG humor, gloating about the recent DoJ anti-trust lawsuit, and so on.

So let's not even pretend that you don't have a beef with them and are more than a little biased.

Feel free to point out the legal issues that he gets wrong about Section 230, even if it is via an article written by an opposite shill.
"Mining" in the context of crypto has a very specific definition, and Brave doesn't even come close. Mining involves using your computing resources to complete calculations that ensure the security of the blockchain, resulting in a cryptocurrency payout.

A company taking money on your behalf without notification, while slimy, isn't mining.
Why are you confusing plastic in the ocean with climate change? To some extent, solutions to each of the two issues exacerbate the other. There's no single right way to manage the environment. That's why nobody is doing it the way you want, because it's not "right" by all measures.
No dynamic code generation for apps on the App Store :(
Pozdrav i tebi my fellow ex-Balkan guy! :)
Hi, I didn't install the Aurora store because if I install non open sources app I'll get tracked again.

In term of privacy what does it imply to install the Aurora store? I didn't look much into it, I thought I would get everything with FDroid.

The AOSP clock adds an audible notification 1.5 hour before the alarm (this was silent on my regular Google Android build). If I deactivate the notification, the alarm is still triggered but I have to go into the app to deactivate it (and I'm not sure how reliable it is).

I installed the clock from SimpleMobileTools. It's reliable 80% of the times which isn't ideal for an alarm!

A lot of apps on FDroid are outdated and warned me that they were made for an older version of Android.

I would support the project financially if I stay on it, but the way I see it if I want to remain on GrapheneOS I'm going to have to code (or modify) all the apps I need.

I have 0 knowledge in mobile dev, and frankly I'm not exactly thrilled to have to spend all of my next year free time to build what I need.

I'm not exactly thrilled to go to Apple either, and at this point I think I'd rather go without a mobile phone than to go back to Google.

I need to chew on this.
A few years ago this was still true, but since then Dune (originally called jbuilder) has dramatically changed the ease with which OCaml projects can be set up.

As for batteries included, there are several options for foundational libraries; I found there to be too many choices rather than too few when I first started developing in OCaml.
> This isn't trying to be a phone - it's trying to be a mobile linux PC that you can also use as a phone and has the same form factor.

You literally just described an Android phone to someone from 2006.
Why are the phone companies not responsible for swapping the number over?

In a similar vein, I've known people who had unsigned checks stolen and their signature forged very poorly. The banks are supposed to check the signature, so why aren't the banks liable?
I agree, but with the caveats that indescriminate use of landfills (as we have today) is not good, and they are not maintenance-free in future although considering them 'dump and forget' is very attractive. I expect historical landfills being compromised, especially due to increased sea levels and extreme weather events, to become an increasingly common topic in the next few decades.

Sequestration of plastic in landfills seems to be the best option we have right now for plastic waste disposal. Even then, more focus on proper encapsulation before it goes in is needed. Even simple initiatives like EcoBricks (https://www.ecobricks.org/) helps ensure more permanent sequestration in ways that look likely to reduce the risk of eventual environmental damage.

We also need more focus on diversion of materials before landfill. Right now an enourmous amount of compostible organic waste, e-waste, and metals are sent to landfill because nobody is willing to bear the cost of diversion. IMO material disposal cost should be borne by the original producer (see the EU WEEE regulations for a good starter on how this can work). This incentivises sustainable choices from the very start of a goods life cycle, rather than how it currently sits as an afterthought.
I was all in favor of breaking up the ISPs a few years ago, but Starlink is coming on like a freight train, and it alone may break up the current monopoly structure. Tack on 5G from the major wireless providers in urban areas, and we might have a situation where the price of broadband plummets before an antitrust action from the DOJ would even get to trial. Not sure it's worth the effort at this point.
why not just use an airplane
I know of a number of oil companies who had tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars stolen in 2016. Their accountants were spear phished and their outboxes were closely monitored. When an outbound invoice was sent the email was caught and then altered to show the fraudsters bank and routing numbers. Oil companies are notoriously slow to pay (and frequently take lots of nudging to get a payment out) so the payment never showing up didn't seem out of the ordinary.

It was all kept hush hush to prevent copycat attacks. It took intervention from the FBI and a big netsec firm to even figure out how it had happened.
I think your map appropriately deemphasizes Alaska according to its near-complete absence of voters. My remark was addressed more toward the organizations who insist on going with the bright-red/bright-blue county map.
Ubuntu is the pig wearing lipstick, Mint has evolved into the wild boar that still has some lipstick. Use Debian if you are allergic to that sort of nonsense.
No. Climate does not always change at the extreme rate it is changing now. A change in 4 degrees celsius in a century is very different from a change in 4 degrees celsius over 10 000 years.

The term "climate change" almost always refers to the current rapid changes over a century as opposed to natural rates of change; if someone misunderstands that I suspect that it is because they have decided to misunderstand it.
I wasn't; back then there were a LOT of things, especially in graphics and linear algebra, that required dropping to embedded ASM to accomplish in a performant way. I think Turbo- and Object Pascal were great languages, but let's not pretend they were anywhere near the speed of C.
Ahh the article mentions checking the FBI database, and ends with the family-tree analysis. I hadn't finished reading before I posted, sorry :)
That's why I said "basically".

/v2/<name>/blobs/<digest>

The spec is ambiguous about what to do if a blob with a matching digest is found in the registry but not in the repository namespace <name>. The layer deduplication section of the spec does state that the same blob MUST be shared between repositories. The manifest digest endpoint suffers from a similar ambiguity.

In any case, all I wanted to say is that it would have been quite possible to implement docker registry as a purely content addressed store + a key/value layer that binds human readable names to it. It's almost, but not quite that.
The latest consensus is to avoid class components, use only functional components and use hooks to handle state & side effects. Ninety percent of React is building DOM, hitting APIs with an HTTP client and using useState + useEffect. And remembering that you must pass functions & data to child elements to communicate between or share logic across components.
I think you're getting emotionally caught up on the idea of having less plastic. If it was safely and permanently buried, it would be no worse for the environment but cheaper than recycling or using less.
FreeType was initially written in Pascal.
Agreed. Off the coast of LA, I just learned that companies were dumping thousands of DDT barrels for decades.

"Landfills could hold only so much, and people were concerned about burning toxics into the air — but the Pacific Ocean seemed a good alternative. Explosives, oil refinery waste, trash and rotting meats all went into the ocean, along with beryllium, various acid sludges, even cyanide." [1]

Companies were dumping and putting out of site. Much harder to burn it and avoid getting caught.

Third world countries are also taking first world trash and then dumping massive amounts into rivers and the ocean.

Cleaning up the ocean is a hell of a lot harder than cleaning up the air or the ground.

I don't use it often, but I did use it twice to get a misbehaving apache service restarted while on the bus/train to work, saving me about 20 minutes of downtime before I could get in front of a better keyboard.

There's a widget addon that makes doing those sorts of things one-tap: https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Termux:Widget

Though naturally once I created a widget to kick apache, it never failed again.
I have hope that with so many research resources being directed to the problem, we'll have better vaccines, better cures, OR better management of symptoms so that there isn't a death risk or long term complications, well before 5 years. It really takes only one of the 3 to bring life back to normal.
It's IMHO a misguided way to archive that feature.

The way this provides semver like behaviour is IHMO just a hack, one which requires a bunch or additional work, too.

Instead when releasing a version to the marked place that code should be pinned/copied by github.

Then versions should be resolved by semver to get the effect you mentioned without needing to publish additional redundant tags (which are easy to get wrong).

Then you could just specify a action as `=1.2.3` to be sure to get the code you reviewed at any point in the future and if you trust the author you use e.g. `^1` to get any `1.x.y`.

Don't get me wrong the current way does work, is easier for github and sidesteps the whole "what counts as semver" discussion ;=)

Still it's IMHO suboptimal, it's really easy to e.g. forget to move one of the tags and it's also a problem for the "review and pin reviewed" version approach as instead of "=1.2.3" you now need to find to commit of that tag and use that, which also means in you workflow it's no longer obvious without comments which version you run with all the problems that implies.
So it can carry 10kg with the 32" propellers basically about 120 miles (call 50km/h for 4 ours so 200 kilometers) and you can refuel it quickly. That is also about $1M weighs in $100 bills. Only about $200K in 20's :-)

So this could presumably deliver goods to remote places where it might be difficult, or perhaps unsafe, to drive to. Seems like there is a market for that.

(Googler, opinions on my own)

This is a nice benefit of Google Fi. Since swap attacks are not possible with it, as customers support agents aren't able to do sim swaps. Sims for Google Fi are fully tied to your Google account, and you must have access to that account to be able to register or unregister a phone.
By "native", do you mean first-party? Surely there are other third parties besides GitHub that you'd entrust with an API token.
Yep. Early on during the famous Rob Ford drug controversy (in Toronto), I realized that any time an article on him would drop with new details on his shady dealings, this would easily gather thousands of upvotes on reddit as the most controversial thing of the day. Soon enough, I started just posting on reddit every time a new news drop would come. Journalists typically share their own articles on twitter as soon as they are online so it wasn't hard to be the first.

Ended up with thousands of points in karma for something as easy as copy pasting the URL on reddit as soon as it was available. Never cared about posting articles on reddit before or after those events, but I figured this was an easy way to make my score way high and keep it that way for the next few years.
What counts as a workstation these days? If the goalposts haven't moved, then just about everything anyone uses today counts.

For me back in the mid 90s, the major differentiator was ethernet, and everything has that now.
> "was only able to hike 10 miles a day"

Where is this quote from? It's not from the linked article.

> "10 mi / day is absolutely abysmal for a normal thru hiker."

To the best of my understanding, unless he flip-flopped, he was not a thruhiker as he started in NY.
It is not clear either if he made his way south in a continuous footpath.

Moreover, even for a thru-hiker, the 10 by 10 gold standard of hiking does not apply for the majority of hikers on the A.T. It is true it is a gold standard on a well graded trails such as the PCT (well... not counting Sierra Nevada and North Washington), but it is not uncommon from what I've heard, even for thruhikers on the A.T to average 10-12 miles a day. Personally out of the triple crown of US hiking trails, I only thruhiked the PCT, but hiked other long trails where 15 miles/day can be a real struggle where as on the PCT I was able to do 25/day and sometimes more.

Also, it should be noted that he was found dead in Florida, which the Applachian Trail doesn't go through. He might have attempted the Florida Trail which goes through Big Cypress NP.
A distinction without a difference, in this case.
Besides the bigger ecosystem, curious as to why you'd go with Vue over Svelte?

I've used Vue for pet projects but Svelte a lot over the last 6-months and don't think I would reach for anything else but Svelte right now. (I'm sure that opinion will change over time, but between the speed of development, and the incredibly nice / fast applications I'm able to build, I've never felt more productive (on the frontend))
I was not asking what could be done, I was asking what he was doing besides commenting on HN.
I think you're right. According to [0], and why would you need any other source for such things, a modern chest X-ray is about 20 µSv. Your two feet combined are smaller than your chest, and in a safer place for radiation, but let's call it the same conservatively.

From the same source, a 4,000-km cross-country flight is 40 µSv. We allow airline workers and other business travellers to rack up a couple of hundred of those a year without worrying too much, so it should be safe to try on at least dozens of pairs of shoes per year.

In practice, we'd surely demand too much regulatory burden for this tech to ever make it back to shoe stores. If shoe salesmen have to be as qualified, regulated and insured as radiologists, it would be cheaper to make custom shoes.

The point of my remark here is we aren't talking about rendering text along a path or whatever. We're talking about opening a file and parsing a binary format, which is in most use cases not at all performance-sensitive.

Nearly everything in American grocery stores is packaged in plastic. How do we ensure that the companies producing consumer staples find better solutions for packaging and distribution, rather than just continuing to use plastic and passing the tax on to the consumer?
when you refresh nyt and twitter all day maybe you _are_ escaping something. i'm escaping chores sometimes lol

maybe when you do like being in nature (this was about not just being outdoors, but hiking in the wilderness), you are also escaping something

I used to suggest joining a credit union to people who complained about bank fees, and the first response would be that there were fewer ATMs and the branches were farther away. Canadians want premium service for free, and will do exactly nothing besides complain to get it.
This is clearly about more than just unjamming a part, but the work that was put into building the probe, sending it to the edge of the solar system, and the fact that it's still functional today.
As we've seen recently, with cloud providers you are at the mercy of their "sole discretion" judgment on terms of service violations. You could be shut down tomorrow with no recourse. So you still have to do all your own backups and continuity of operations planning across different providers or in-house. To me this really calls into question the entire value proposition, since if you want to be safe you need to have the ability to redeploy your entire business on another provider at a moment's notice.
Yes, apparently some US plastic recycling programs amounted to fraud in that they would simply export waste without due diligence about the overseas sites they were shipping them to. There's a reason why "reduce" and "reuse" come first in the old adage before "recycle".
