Monome is such a fascinating example of sustainable open source ecosystem around a hardware product.

Their entire software stack is open-source, and the community contributes an incredible amount. Just take a look at the release notes for the latest norns update [0].

The software itself is also just of a really high quality, especially the balance between accessibility and power. The norns runs lua scripts that interact with a bunch of specific APIs for making sounds, interacting with hardware, or drawing the UI. It's incredibly quick to get started, but folks have made some wild scripts[1]

It's not as if hotlinking to a Google Drive file creates any nefarious situation for the owner. It was bad practice to do that on people's personal FTPs, but there's no harm to sharing a Drive file.

maybe? it seems like this is a variant of the old question: is it (morally) worse to be the hitman or the person who hired the hitman? it takes two to tango, but I'd say creating the incentive is usually worse than following an existing incentive gradient.
I think there’s been largish contributions to the compiler (webassembly backend etc) done by external people.

For language changes, don’t they have a formal proposal process where someone submits a spec and the the team (and community) provides feedback before changes are accepted? If you accept that’s reasonable it explains some of how things have happened with dep and generics.

If I remember right dep was becoming a de-facto standard without ever submitting to the proposal process where the Go team could address their technical differences. Obviously there was a messaging failure here and they could have emphasized that it was not formally accepted, but it’s tough to tell people not to use a major improvement to the status quo when there is no alternative to point to and hasn’t been for years.

For language changes so far there’s been almost zero changes approved, by anyone, including the core team, so it’s hard to make a comparison. But if you look at the current generics proposal it’s an enormous amount of work to completely specify. As far as I know, there have been zero actual proposals by the community and several by the core team (most of which were rejected). I think the community sentiment has been more that we should have generics, or “wouldn’t this feature be useful” on the issue tracker without fully fleshing it out, not actually making formal proposals and getting shot down.
I'm in a similar situation and i'm going with a 5900x FWIW. The 5950 feels a little overkill, I don't expect to be fully taking advantage of the extra cores.
What does that have to do with a rubber hose?
Pardon my potential ignorance here, but it seems to me a valid argument to simply say "if the GUI lets you search, that alone will probably make it more 'discoverable' than a CLI".
I find it extremely amusing that the US government has over the last several years become one of the world's largest traders in bitcoin. It's not quite the path many were predicting back in the early 2010s, but Bitcoin has been full of surprises.

If history is any guide, the bitcoin will be auctioned off sooner rather than later.
I mean on the IO die, not the processor one (or maybe a new one). 256MB L4 Infinity Cache for all the CPUs in the package. It doesn’t need to be on 5nm or 7nm. It can be on 14nm. But still on package.

(I should have said on package, not on-chiplet, too late to edit)
in theory, yes. in practice, I'd rather be a customer than a constituent.

I've been coding a bunch on a Pinebook Pro. Using the browser is painful. Not painful for looking up documentation/stack overflow/other sources. But on a JS heavy site it's miserable in comparison to a Chromebook, my phone, or any other computer I own.

You can't win arguing about crypto on HN. I list 50 use-cases, everyone says a centralized DB can do it better. I say the most crucial one - inflation hedge - and you say "What, that's it?" You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.

I see they used single quotes .. my bad.
Well, so far the “better” still remains to be seen... waiting for type-classes to represent monoids, functors, applicatives, monads and foldable.

So far I’ve just seen a complex and wild stream API that mimics it in practice, without all the mental model behind it.

Oh, and what’s this nonsense with Java Option?! Really?
Yes of course it was retracted. The basis was "you just increased genetic diversity and therefore increased the strength of the population"
Ask HN: How do you stay sane during a floundering job search?
I've been on the market for a new job since April following a Covid-19 layoff, and I’m really struggling to deal with the way things are right now. I'm a non-traditional developer who just reached the low end of mid-level and I just can’t seem to “win”.

I’ll get an interview with a company that seems to have a relatively simple product and reportedly “easy” interview process according to Glassdoor, and I’ll get slammed with difficult leetcode questions that don’t seem to get any easier the more I read and practice. Other times, I’ll somehow get an interview with a company that has a complicated product, so I’ll be researching the technology they use and trying to prepare myself for whatever leetcode humiliation I have to suffer, only to drop the ball on a really easy non-leetcode problem. I just came off of this for a contract position that was really exciting but I messed up the absolute easiest rule about interfaces while looking for compiler errors that cost me.

Still other companies have HackerRank knockoffs like CodeSignal that don’t support relatively recent versions of languages, making trivial tasks like database access or HTTP GET requests either unnecessarily complex or completely impossible in an interview scenario. Normal code that I've implemented, seen on the job, or otherwise seen on the internet just doesn't work for these platforms.

I get ghosted a lot after the HR stage seems to go well. A decently-known US company went so far as to reach out to me on StackOverflow, connect me with a recruiter, set up a date for just a chat, and then suddenly fill the position and end the conversation.

How does anyone without a network of people they can ask for jobs deal with this? I don't think I can take much more of this, nothing so far seems to help. Whenever I try to ask questions or get advice I just get college students and new grads giving me "good vibes" or inapplicable advice they peeled off of CSCQ/dev.to and it's driving me nuts.
It is probably about ads. You can't block ads as easily in a custom application verses the browser. So nudging strongly your customers to it will improve ad impressions and likely revenue.
It’s a point-to-point 25Gbit fiber link directly between the two machines, not switched like the rest of my network, and I didn’t feel like complicating it more than that :)
> The closest vehicle in Tesla's garage to this is the Tesla Cybertruck which looks bizarre, but is about $20,000 less than the nearest announced competitor.

No, Cybertruck is competing with stuff like Ford F150. Volvo FH is a commercial truck. The nearest thing is the Tesla Semi.
First, 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 are DNS servers, not gateways. Second, changing DNS server doesn't really work against a 404.
Don't think of it from the point of view of "creation" of property. Think of it as an investment: The investment grew, that's all. Imagine an asset seizure that overlooked 1,000 shares of Apple stock. It was then found some years later, but the stock had split so there was now 2,000 shares. That isn't new property, is rose out of the original forfeited asset. This is no different.
Rubber hose, hammer ... same usage, slightly different “impact”
This has always been the case, too. In school I once read somewhere that if you knew you had a computation to do that was 100 MFLOPS (or whatever seemed like a large number at the time), and you had to complete it sometime in the next 18 months, a solid strategy is to wait 9 months and buy more-modern hardware.

You'd end up with more 'residual' computing power (when your computation is done, you have the hardware lying around, and now it's more powerful than if you had bought on day 0), and it would probably cost less in energy as well.

Beautifully written article. Truly.

I wonder what you think about SVGOMG: https://jakearchibald.github.io/svgomg/
You know I would agree as someone who did a lot of python and dynamic languages there is a tendency for chaos. But then I have seen just as many chaotic Java code. If even go so far to say it’s more a function of the libs/framework than the ecosystem. I have seen a lot of terrible flask code, django code was much better on average and often better than spring code.
On mobile they do have the new core architecture, used by ice lake and tiger lake, which at 4ghz were outperforming the previous cores (still used on desktop) at 5ghz.

Wouldn't this be a problem that would not surface in our lifetime if it affects future births and the professor wouldn't be around to see the end result?
That sorta reflects how I've been feeling about digital infrastructure lately too. Anything I can self-host is a win purely to maintain some sense of control, continuity and sanity.
As a neat optimization you don't have to make your entire home purchase on margin. If you want to buy a modest 1 bedroom in SF for $1M (lol) you can make a $250,000 down-payment via margin loan and take the other $750,000 as a mortgage, so you get the full deductibility of both the mortgage and the downpayment, and you can still see future appreciation in your equity position. YMMV, of course, and subject to your personal risk tolerance.
I genuinely think there's a big desire out there for an easy way to carve out a small, personalized niche of the internet, a la GeoCities/MySpace.

I agree it's batty reasoning!

For example, what if we assume for a moment that this makes sense from a crime-fighting perspective. That is, the marginal value of future-crime prevented by withholding the cryptocurrency is greater than the value of the crime-fighting that could be financed if it were auctioned off.

If true, it would also follow that the DoJ should be buying cryptocurrency on the open market to keep it idle, at least until its price rises such that an equilibrium is reached, where "withhold-from-stream-of-commerce-value" and "spend-on-crime-fighting-value" become roughly equal.
For a bit I was running these "Personal Website Tours"[0] and had a couple of folks mentioned in this article do one! They're basically just an interview around their websites, how they maintain them, how they originated. It's fascinating seeing the different workflows people come up with, and how they intersect with their personal goals.

Having your own website is an incredibly powerful tool because of the diversity of ways you can use it. It's only getting easier to do so, especially with the massive amount of static site generators available today. I do think it can get even more accessible though. I ran a lil course [1] earlier this month that aimed to provide a supportive environment for people getting started with it.

How it is to work for a climate tech startup
Data Poisoning
As the article points out the zone identifiers are primarily for making sure you are sending packets out on the right device (network adapter) and extremely rarely play into receiving data, so it would be extremely uncommon/unlikely to see zone identifiers in URLs because presumably they would only make sense, pending some unspecified future usage, for diagnostics on a single device (as the zone identifiers mostly don't "leave" a specific device; they aren't advertised externally, there is no way to query them, etc. Explicitly per RFC 4007 that defines zone identifiers, "The zone indices are strictly local to the node.").

(Which the RFC 6874 mentions it's primarily expected these URLs to be intended for diagnostics and unlikely to be seen in the "wild" much less expected to ever be seen in Anchor tags in HTML documents.)

(Even for diagnostics situations it sounds like it should be rare for instance that you might have different web servers on the same device running depending on which ethernet port or wifi device a message arrives on. Outside of routers and firewalls and crazy proxies that should be extremely rare, I would imagine. Device based zone identifiers are not going to replace Host header based Virtual Hosting any time soon I'd imagine, for example.)

Sure but you can hardly place the same onus of security rigor on the shoulders of a 90's OS/2 software hobbyist enabling people to explicitly download font files once in a blue moon from sources they explicitly choose, vs a big corporation in the 00's employing world class product security staff deciding to stick that in their source tree without even a shrug, where the downloading and applying the fonts happens behind the users back with 0 interaction.
That is telepathy. Amazing use of language.

Story telling in real time. Love it.
No affiliation (beyond being a happy user myself), but I really feel like https://neocities.org is a wonderful little project that makes it easy to create one's own digital garden like this article is talking about.

Much love to them and similar projects. The old web isn't gone, you just have to know where to look, which is very "old web" anyway, right? :)
From a realpolitik perspective, It's not possible for their to be a standard procedure in practice. Even if the law is clear and unambiguous (it's not), prosecutors and regulatory bodies have the discretion to attempt to enforce or not. These decisions are subject to an ever shifting set of power and influence as circumstances and motivations change.

As an example, in general the way Facebook and Google operate is not substantively different than it was a decade ago. The impending anti-trust action they are facing is a result of changing feelings and external conditions, not a (significant) change in law and regulation.
Yes - in fact, the fact that they're negative makes it more fair use. Hell, there's a right-wing YouTuber who got away with reposting an entire left-wing YouTuber's video and just changing the title. The title change alone made it fair use and the left-winger who sued the right-winger now owes the right-winger money for filing such a frivolous lawsuit.
That rises above/past complainant into evidence. Fits perfectly into the intent of my comment.
The comic uses a wrench, "rubber hose" is the older way of phrasing it:

Just want to bump this from another perspective: I’m an engineer in a big EU science infrastructure project and everything has a Python API. The main lab environment is JupyterLab. No one wonders whether what languages scripts or workflows will be written in.

Julia is on the radar but even in Julians’ wildest dreams Python remains relevant through PyCall. Why rewrite it if you can reuse it? (Obv I refer to boring-to-write non-performance-sensitive code here)

"Not nearly as much" is quite an understatement.

The factor is something like 350,000x more energy required for a bitcoin transaction vs. a transaction on the traditional banking network.
> Certainly they would not have been able to be sold on any legitimate exchange

I'm ignorant about this. Would they not have been able to be sold because there's some kind of master list of coins related to criminal activity, and exchanges blacklist them? Or would buyers somehow know specifically which coins they'd be buying and their provenance?
Awesome! One thing I noticed: your LinkedIn logo has an artifact when rendered small in my browser (Firefox). There is a thin vertical blue line between the downstroke and the round stroke in the 'n'.
Let me get this straight. The theory is you use some other means to heat up the iron to its burning point (probably by burning fuel, unless electricity can be used to bring material >1000 C?). Then you can turn off the energy input because the fuel is burning, at which point it will oxidize on its own...? I'm not really sure I'm grasping how this is an efficient system
I find it implausible that someone went through the trouble of stealing $1B from an online marketplace for drugs, then sat on it for 8 years without spending any of it, and then forfeited it to the U.S. government.
There are many places around the world where the government is not the good guys.
Filing or not filing a counter-notice isn't just a question of who is legally right, but also of who can afford a litigation. I doubt the youtube-dl authors have the budget to fight this.

The EFF has commented on this:

"Youtube-dl is a legitimate tool with a world of a lawful uses. Demanding its removal from Github is a disappointing and counterproductive move by the RIAA."

I'm not sure why you're posting misinformation.
Oh, I don't mean like you could maintain the library, just the configuration it may expect you to provide it.
I think it's a move away not from WordPress specifically, but the kind of structure a "blog" providers. Personal sites for so long have been: home, about, portfolio, blog. Digital gardens seem to be more along the lines of: I'm gonna dump whatever I want here in whatever style and structure I like because it's my site and you can't tell me no.
Very curious how they convinced this anonymous hacker to give up $1B to the federal government. The filing makes it sound like it was voluntary, but I doubt it really was.
