You mean "Dont Steal Mac OS X.kext."

And the Hackintosh equivalent was dsmos.kext. Which would "inject" the required system calls to trick OSX into running on non Apple hardware.

I don't know why I love the idea of this thing, but I do

Maybe because it reminds me of my very first computer, a Tandy 1000HX, which also had a keyboard as its case.
Well, since whenever free speech is discussed, the discourse in HN tends to be towards arguing in favor of large corporations and telling the people defending the idea that "free speech is only from the government and the corporations are not forced to do business with you", I'll echo that sentiment and say that google is free to do this since they shouldn't be forced to do business with anyone.

That said, I'll be careful to have backups of all my stuff outside google services.
I work in an ecommerce agency environment and it can be quite frustrating. Every client, no matter how small, has been sold the spiel and had some guy come through and build a boutique cloud infrastructure, CI pipeline and development VM. As if traffic will increase 1000% by next week with no prior warning. It just doesn't happen like that.

I spend half my time debugging Hyperscale Bullshit™ that the client never needed and that failed the moment the devops guy left.

If you want this stuff, you need a long term tech team, and a devops member on hand. Every time you hand your project around this stuff costs you hours. You also need to tell your devs to use the devops guy like tech support. They built this rickety tower of obtuse config files, make the devops guy fix it and don't let your devs spin their wheels for 4 hours before their assets compile on the Super Cool Distributed Docker VM microservice stack of teetering jenga blocks.

"I think it is dead wrong on almost all accounts."

I suspect it is too, but I would at least like to see the reasoning behind it if any
There are three clearly distinct paths practically everywhere in the Netherlands: roads, bike paths and sidewalks.

That means the bikes, cars and pedestrians are already separated.

The mopeds/scooters (who go up to 45kmh / ~28 mph) are the only ones who don't fit in. That why they're constantly switching between roads, bike paths and sidewalks.
His opinions sound pretty sound to me. Problem with the EU was already decided to hit Greece with big austerity which did big damage to the Greek public.

Your rant on the other hand seem not very much more than an argumentum ad hominem.
Russia has one of the strongest civilian firearms cultures in the world. The Russian defense industrial complex also cranks out a lot of small arms. They want to be able to sell stuff into the US market. The NRA wants the US market to be able to buy small arms from across the world. Considering how blurry the line between politics, special interest lobbying, the arms industry and the government itself is in Russia I think it comes as no surprise that people with pay stubs on government letterhead are trying to get buddy-buddy with the NRA.

It's kind of irrelevant though since there's rules for that sort of stuff (registering as a foreign agent) and Russia shouldn't expect any slack in lights of their geopolitical ventures on their western border.
This is just a federation protocol, so it doesn't really solve the problem: federated systems are just a way to make it easier to interoperate between a number of separate instances, but every individual "thing" (in this case, a repository) is still going to be hosted on an instance that can be taken down (and sure, it could be put on another one, but then you didn't solve the problem); what you want is a "truly decentralized" (the word "truly" in parentheses was a critical part of the comment you were replying to) and really hopefully "distributed" revision control alternative, not merely a mechanism to "enable interoperability" (the phrasing from their website) between existing services (which should make the issue clear: if no existing service could host the repository in question, then interoperating between existing services doesn't suddenly cause stable hosting to appear).
My current employer has the same setup (my colleagues are mostly linux nerds so comfortable with managing their own hardware), mostly because of security but I can imagine cost is a big factor as well. We'd need a development VM for each developer, additional VMs for nightly installs, a build server farm, and systems for hosting git, project management, etc.

I don't know much about nvidia-deepstream. Motion is a stand alone and ready to use program that can take multiple streams, detect frame to frame differences with different settings. Nvidia-deepstream seems to be an SDK that requires more specific AI/ML knowledge to set up motion detection.

Finding SuperKarts in this collection takes me back to my childhood. It was a 3D racing game that ran smoothly on older computers.
It seems like this article solely blames Trump for this state of affairs. There's no agency given to the people who break off relationships based on political disagreement. It's all Trump's fault for being the most polarizing figure in the world today.

There's no question he's polarizing, but you can't blame him for every disagreement.

My suggestion - don't disown your family over Trump.
> “He specifically told me, ‘You are no longer my mother, because you are voting for Trump’,” Gomez, 41, a personal care worker in Milwaukee, told Reuters. Their last conversation was so bitter that she is not sure they can reconcile, even if Trump loses his re-election bid.

I have a pretty strong suspicion that they didn't have the greatest relationship before that final moment. Otherwise, that's a massive over-reaction (same as it would be if the vote were reversed).
Sadly the 400 lacks the audio socket that the 4B has :-( so audio out is only available over HDMI or Bluetooth.

You can probably power it from a USB battery pack quite nicely.
No, js is fundamentally a technology with an anti-competitive ethos enforced by the fact you need an army of engineers employed full time to keep even a trivial site up and running, and on top of that it has surveillance built into it's core. You can't be anonymous using it by design.

Apps built on top of tcp that don't have persistent state, like signed emails, don't suffer from either of those problems and are fundamentally decentralized, anonymous and more user friendly once you try and use them 5 years after they were created.
We can also use ssl-cert-check cli tool. `ssl-cert-check -s avilpage.com -p 443 -x 30` will return if the certificate will expire in 30 days.

We can use this command in CI pipeline or setup a cron job to monitor it.
Incidentally I just watched a video on the infamous Brandenburg airport yesterday. The corruption was on multiple levels, both the politician and the construction companies. Yeah the materials went missing and you could argue whether it was the workers who did it or on a more organized level. But construction managers were caught receiving huge amounts of money for contracts and the politicians wanted the airport open in 2012 totally pretending that any safety concern could be ignored. It's not a good look at all. Maybe the level of corruption is lower, or maybe it just exists in a different form. Not sure.

Coronavirus: German hospitals brace for record number of intensive care patients
Suggestion/what I have been practising for the past 20 years:

Get your own domain "lastname.com" or "somethig.com", get it from someone who will give you 1GB catch-all mailbox.

My setup is:

Windows, MS Outlook. The emails go to the 1GB mailbox, I can access them over my phone. Once I fire up Outlook, they are siphoned down and live on my Outlook forever. My emails are around 5-6GB of .pst file(s). I backup my whole disk in two manners: selected files and folders of my C and D drives on Carbonite, and one massive (80GB) Acronis .tib file (clone of my C: - SDD) again on Carbonite. My Carbonite "footprint" is well over 1.5TB.

So my backup is 3-2-1.

3 places: local disk, external drive, Carbonite (not affiliated)(I just love their unlimited storage and ability to encrypt pre-transmit)

2 different physical locations: home/on the move & Carbonite cloud

1 online: Carbonite (nice and encrypted).

I keep some gmail accounts handy, a couple of hotmail accounts, but EVERYTHING forwards to my mail mailbox. These accounts are used for things I don't want to have a real name-surname (like a silly game or other 'stuffs'). I won't cry if I lose them.

I have been operating like this for 20 years. I do have the cost of the domain name and mailbox service, but the cost is nothing to the pain one gets of losing access to ALL the stuff from the "free service".

I do NOT use any of the Google/MS-Hotmail ecosystem, no "online drives". This setup works for me. Perhaps it may work for you/your lifestyle, perhaps not. Just putting it out there to show that one can have a perfect IT lifestyle without using any of the "free" stuff.

Edit: I am not affiliated to any of the companies mentioned above (MS, Carbonite, Google). I just made the decision 20 years ago to stay away from them (incl. Dropbox, Microsoft free or paid storage), and keep everything offline/on me, and of course accepting the risks that come with it (house burning down, burning a CD/DVD as backup method back-in-the-day), etc.
I don't follow. How can file descriptors be passed through a shared memory to another process and remain valid in its context?

Assuming it's not Windows, where it is possible to explicitly clone a handle for a specific process.

There are a lot of stories of people paying for Google Services getting locked out too.

Personal experience, once I created an Adword ad using one of the image that Google Ad creator had suggested. It was nothing, just a woman in bikini. It was approved and then rejected with warning that I violated their guidelines. I wanted protest but thought probably not worth it. This could have perma banned me from Google, I stopped using AdWords.
i agree that this is important but the article is light on recommendations for improving written comms. anyone have experience?
I wish people were taught in school about the various manipulation techniques that are being used against them. Unfortunately that would mean currently both sides would not be voteable, but that should in the long run make democracy healthier. Currently democracy is legal, because if you have enough money you can easily manipulate people into anything, and if you can print money they your power is unrestricted. I believe that whoever wins, there will be a minor difference to day to day life, except that one side will have this group oppressed and the other side another, whoever wins. If you use divide and conquer, you need to follow up with the work against imaginary threats to be seen as trustworthy.
Level up cloud native skills ! ultimate resource
For people who have migrated from Google, but still have an Android phone. Any tips? I'd like to stay on Android (way less expensive than Apple).
I can't quite remember how those things were figured out either, but I think it was probably partially word of mouth. Games also had tips for memory configuration in their readme files or manuals. There was also at least one book I had at home that my father had bought that had all kinds of details on the workings of DOS (and PCs of that era in general).
I agree people want cars, but people also want single-family detached homes & neither of these scale to big cities (where - corona notwithstanding - increasingly large portions of the population move to). IMO If you want to live in a big city you have to take a hit for the greater good and forgo some things you want.

There is no (reasonable) way to have cities like Tokyo, Delhi or Shanghai if each family lives in a detached home & people commute to work daily by private automobile.

And this is not even tackling having to alleviate climate change by reducing emissions.
Indeed, I sleep before and after long drives, but not for 8 full hours, I catch up, eventually. However, my family gets to go shopping, buys groceries etc while I rest for a few. For some reason, I seem to be functioning just fine making up for lost sleep by sleeping in every other day.

Perhaps "each night" isn't the right choice of words, "every 3 nights or so" would be more accurate.
I was talking more about the flow of goods (and services), not about the flow of money. After all, the main point of the economy is to arrange the production and the distribution of the goods, not of money.

If the economy is arranged in such a way that when the demand for restaurant food sharply drops down, it suddenly means random people, not even in the restaurant business, can't afford to eat (?!), well, that's not a good way to arrange things, is it now?

Even in lanes explicitly stated as bikes-only, people don't give a shit. In Amsterdam it's particularly bad with the delivery drivers who're in a rush all the time.
Hi - “racially charged” meant commonly used racial slurs against African Americans, not anything about immigration.
How did they define "conspiratorial thinking"? Did it include things like "the NSA is listening to all our communications"? Because that was a conspiracy but turned out to be true.
If you use Thunderbird as your email client, you have all your data in an sqlite database on your computer, conveniently updated regularly throughout the day.
GCP also has sustained-usage discounts, which are very convenient, as even without reservation as in AWS, you get up to 30% discount if you have more constant usage, but you still have the full flexibility of on-demand.

When it comes to pricing comparisons of cloud see Cloudorado:
https://www.cloudorado.com/
For my own startup, I built a small cluster of 17 servers for just beneath $55K, and that had a month-to-month expense of $600 placed in a co-lo. In comparison, the same setup at AWS would be $96K per month. And it is not hard, easy in many ways. Do not be fooled, the cloud companies are peddling is an expensive scam.

> “ “The damage is done. In people’s minds, Trump is a monster. It’s sad. There are people not talking to me anymore, and I’m not sure that will change,” said Gomez, who is a fan of Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigrants and handling of the economy.”

The real shame here is that she seems to mistakenly think her son is actively cutting her out. If she views Trump’s actions towards immigrants as defensible or even good, which is something that at this point is just utterly incompatible with the basics of civil society, then her own actions are forcing people away from her.

It’s sad to see people clinging to aspects of Trump, going down with the ship like this, still so lacking of self-awareness of the extreme degree of (not hyperbole) fascist violence inherent in Trump’s presidency, that she can’t realize this is entirely and unequivocally her own doing.

I wish we were still at a point where it was ideologically tractable to vote for Trump not because you like him but because of benign centrist Republican ideas, like generally lower taxes or states rights (regardless of the debates around these, at least they are legitimate, debatable aspects of the moderate Republican core).

But we are waaaay past that possibility, to the point where a vote for Trump that claims to be based on other innocuous, normal-time-debatable right-leaning issues is no longer that, and is literally (again, not hyperbole) a tacit vote for fascism and anti-science.
I think 2x is a bit optimistic, if you just compare what kind of hardware you get by renting a dedicated server compared to EC2 it can easily be 5x or more. Of course that compares very different things, and doesn't mean that renting dedicated servers is always cheaper. The comparison gets much, much worse when significant amounts of traffic is involved. And scaling down isn't so much more difficult than with AWS within certain limits.

Comparing managed services like databases is maybe more meaningful than just EC2, but also so much more difficult.
> It's easier to just continuously benchmark performance and kill machines that don't perform as expected. It's very easy to automate.

It's also work you simply don't have to do if you rent hardware.
IDK about that. Plenty of multi-party systems get vitriolic.

It's true though that the campaign itself, in a two horse race, tends to be more negative.

Wood Welding: Development of a Rapid Timber Joining Technique [video]
I accept that big tech services will occasionally have to ban people for rules violations. But to be banned and not told why is absolutely inexcusable.
I've had a similar thing occur to me with Doordash. Went to Vancouver for a holiday, tried to order, got locked out of my account.

Multiple calls/chats to customer service said I violated their terms or service and would not tell me which term and the account remains unrecoverable.

Fuck Doordash.
That strategy doesn't work in my country as the law clearly stated mere protocol is not copyrightable.

Another interesting case was, Nintendo released a floppy disk with their logo relief and use its presence for DRM purpose. When third party released a compatible floppy disk, Nintendo sued them for trademark violation. Nintendo lost.
Sorry if it was a bit tongue-in-cheek. The RIAA can now call Github out whenever they have an argument for them enabling downloads of copyrighted content through their repositories. And Github is expected to fix it for them.
I do this but there are pros and cons to every solution. I once forgot to renew a domain and let it expire completely. It wasn't one that I used very often but a few accounts used it and someone else registered the domain. Now they could very easily gain access to my accounts if they wanted to before I get around to fixing it.
Just migrated an ecommerce consulting client from a major VPS provider in the US to AWS.

There's two main reasons. One is that the traffic to this client is heavily driven by ad spend, and the site fell on it's face hard this past year any time a big spike got sent our way by a single or combination of ad vendors (which we can't really control in fine enough detail) -- facebook, by the way, is by far the worst about this. They can and will cause a thundering herd.

The second reason is that there's a bunch of scale up/down to services in AWS if you're doing it right. You're not buying a .16xlarge server in AWS to host your ecommerce site, that would be stupid, you don't need that 24x7. You're paying for a pair of .xlarge servers at a Reserved Instance rate, which is half the published rate. When you need to, your instance count (and your aws bill) goes up.

We couldn't do that at the VPS host we were on, so we kicked them to the curb. With AWS, we can handle the load spikes -AND- the total lower bill for a year came out much lower.
No, almost no-one needs any of that. The depressing amount of money that goes to AWS for little reason but 'because it's the safe choice and everyone does it' is pretty amazing. In tech/programming we often say 'use the right tool for the job' and yet everyone reaches for the hammer that is AWS when hosting is mentioned.

In fact "the people with guns", as you like to call them, do little else day-in day-out than try to scrub google results and other places, because they do care, yet they are losing badly.

As long as one can google "thing" + "torrent" and come up with something in the first few result, it's pretty obvious who isn't winning.

Then there's also the actual statistics for torrent usage...

Sure they can take down a pirate bay or some other tracker now and again, but at the end of the day for each site they take down there will be 10 new ones.

And that's what I'm talking about when I'm saying "pretty much any policy can be made unenforceable if a sufficient number of people decide to make it so."

The best efforts of those people with guns are proverbial drops in the ocean.

What always happens when laws and reality aren't in alignment, is that people ignore those laws en masse.
Interesting sidenote: PTT works fairly well on mobile. I'm in a lot of meetings where folks are using their computers for video and "dial in" for audio on mobile so that they can continue working and then PTT on the phone which is now functionally a giant dedicated button for speaking.
The original LEGO Mindstorms had a handshaking mechanism like this. The firmware for the RCX brick was stored in battery-backed RAM, so you had to re-upload it via infrared whenever you changed the batteries. But the ROM bootloader would only accept a firmware image if it contained the string:

> "Do you byte, when I knock?"

After uploading, the host computer would send an "unlock request" with the string "LEGO®", at which point the RCX would return the other half of the rhyme:

> "Just a bit off the block!"

I assume the only reason for jumping through these hoops was to have a legal excuse to discourage other companies from making interoperable products. I have no idea whether this strategy would have actually held up in court; in any case, there were plenty of homebrew tools that just embedded the magic strings anyway.
Diesel isn’t great either - the diesel gels in the cold and has to be heated again. It’s a real pain, I can see why electric cars are popular in cold countries even if the range isn’t as advertised.
I have, actually, which is why I already knew it's that long, which is still an order of magnitude faster than changing the color of some lights in an app.
Is it not the right time to decentralise those type of services? I think it is. Isn't this site owned by Microsoft? So if it is, this is normal big corporation behaviour. They embrace open-source community to gain advantage. Is there a way to host code without being dependent on big corporation? I am really interested in the answer of this question. Public programming code must be treated like public utility. For example like water, it must be ensured that water is drinkable and properly managed, but in public domain. Is anyone remember Nestle attempt to privatise water? (https://www.insidehook.com/daily_brief/news-opinion/nestle-b...).
Thanks, I've set it up myself. Most of my Google data isn't really important, but my gmail is super important and it's the backup address for dozens if not hundreds of services.
Pre-emptive Nuclear strikes are shockingly ineffective vs a country the size of the US with Nuclear submarines. The fastest strike from a sub on each of the coasts gives plenty of time for Nukes in strategic locations to be detected and a strike to be launched.

If it was needed, you can also design a bunker to survive a direct strike and launch after the fact. Though subs in the Great Lakes would be most cost effective option for the US.
