Why on Earth would Russia invade Ukraine?
We're discussing a campaign whose goal is to increase the deniability of email. When you say things like "they will still believe [email is non-repudiable] if Google discloses its DKIM keys", you're essentially saying that this campaign will not be successful in its ultimate goal - that even if the campaign manages to get Google to periodically rotate and publish their DKIM keys, it will not achieve the desired effect of increasing the deniability of email. So, you're saying that this campaign is a fool's errand?

I don't have a strong opinion on the chances of success that this campaign has. What I am saying is that if the campaign was successful in increasing the repudiability of email, that would make it easier for people to repudiate emails that they've sent, and that would be a bad thing in the context of resolving disputes. Do you agree?

I think it's different for everyone, though it seems to be a common theme that people need to throw themselves into the deep end and do something more meaningful like a CRUD app or CLI tool in order to be invested. I think people need to be invested if they want to learn, because otherwise there's always other day job or life stuff that's way too easy to be distracted by. In a way it's very similar to adding user stickiness to a product you're selling, except in this case you are your own user and you have to add your own stickiness.

If you're doing a CRUD thing, I'd suggest supporting both JSON and HTML representations of your responses (and Yesod works great for this). I think the art is in the details between the language parts you know and the libraries you end up interfacing with. Once you start doing this for real, that's when the details you learned in isolation in the beginning all begin to fit together.
Perhaps I'm wrong but this seems to give you full access to a VM whereas with rsync.net you only have very restricted access mostly to support storage and little else.

Current OpenZFS supports zfs send -w:

"-w, -raw

For encrypted datasets, send data exactly as it exists on disk. This allows backups to be taken even if encryption keys are not currently loaded. The backup may then be received on an untrusted machine since that machine will not have the encryption keys to read the protected data or alter it without being detected. Upon being received, the dataset will have the same encryption keys as it did on the send side, although the keylocation property will be defaulted to prompt if not otherwise provided. For unencrypted datasets, this flag will be equivalent to -Lec Note that if you do not use this flag for sending encrypted datasets, data will be sent unencrypted and may be re-encrypted with a different encryption key on the receiving system, which will disable the ability to do a raw send to that system for incrementals."

There's definitely an argument to be made about the second point. However many people accessing the SPAs have a fast enough internet connection that it's actually a better experience to download it all in one go. Also, "tens of megabytes" is a VAST exaggeration.
Every time Yet Another RuboCop Storm arrives, I wish that Bozhidar will eventually drop the whole thing and focus on other areas, where his work is very much appreciated by everyone — his Emacs work is unparalleled, and his work on CIDER (Clojure development environment) and nrepl is universally loved. These communities deeply appreciate the work and instead of recurring drama, provide sponsorship through OpenCollective (for CIDER) and directly to Bozhidar through Github Sponsors.

What about my DIY double entry book system I wrote using various JavaScript libraries?

I have no clue.
Using iOS feels like someone developed it without using it ever. The iPhone is the most obtuse and mindless device I’ve ever used. I daisy chain Rune Goldberg-style systems to do basic tasks involving a PDF or large file.

Save the PDF to iBooks, oh I can’t export it now let me try the print to PDF trick etc etc.

All this seems designed to encourage me to pay more for iCloud or other Apple products. Nothing makes sense, everything’s broken and people still love it.
I wonder if this is because Google knows about an exploit that hasn't been released yet or because it just makes sense given the side channel attacks we've already seen on CPUs.

Is there any information on the performance impact of this change? The article says they've reduced the impact and gives a single example but I'd be interested to see a proper benchmark of a system with these patches installed.

I can imagine most of a powerful core's performance going unused if the operating system isn't doing anything special and a multithreaded workload is trying to get a lot of work done. The same can likely be true for systems still rocking a dual core design, where "one core for important stuff and one for applications" can be quite taxing on system responsiveness.
I have so much to write on this, sorry if it comes off as incoherent rambling.
The gist of it is I think the 90s really were a special time in computer gaming, and it's not just nostalgia you're feeling. I'll try to list what came to mind.

- Just like the 60s-70s in music, product people had no concept of what a marketable game looked like, and were willing to fund much more riskier ideas.
- Video game team sizes and budgets were smaller, allowing designers much more leeway, as well being able to personally oversee the production much better.
- Although Moore's law was a thing before and after the 90s, It's the advancement during that time meant that games went from pixelated abstract bleep-bloop affairs, to being able to render and simulate complex 2D and 3D worlds.
- Feeding in to my previous point, people were literally writing the book on modern game genres, like RTS, Sim games (who thought that managing a city could be fun?), FPS, etc.
- John Carmack, I literally cannot overstate how impactful his contributions were to the FPS genre. With the introduction of Binary Space Partitioning in games (first in Doom in 2D, then a fully 3D version in Quake), he elegantly solved occlusion culling, collision detection, and 3D level editors in a masterstroke, while allowing 3D games to run on the meagre hardware of the times. Almost literally every FPS game used a BSP to represent its levels for more than a decade (Unreal, Quake and Source sure did).

Unfortunately, the console era which came after, has put a brake to this breakneck pace of development.Console games, especially in the PS1-X360 eras, were dumbed down for both technical limitations, and gameplay:
- Studios sought to appeal to the masses, who didn't always appreciate the complex mechanics.
- You just can't make as sophisticated UI for gamepads as for keyboard/mouse. This killed of multiple PC genres on console, the RTS most prominent among them.
- Due to the primary storage medium being DVDs/CDS in the console space, developers had to contend with their limitations, such as slow transfer speed, and abysmal seek times (yes even compared to HDDs). This meant that levels needed to be more linear, and player freedom had to be restricted. RAM sizes were also tiny compared to PCs of the time, further increasing the problem.

I'm sure there's a ton of stuff that I missed.

The Hagoromo story is interesting, I guess since it's kind of fun/cool/quirky with niche interest in something seemingly mundane, like blackboard chalk.

I couldn't read the NYT story due to paywall, but the backstory is at least on the Wikipedia page about the chalk [1].

If you're in the US, it's available on Amazon where they have their official store front [2].

It's $22 for a box of 72 whites, $29 for the 5-color mix.

That was how I was taught, in Europe, decades ago. We didn't call it Singapore Math, we just called it Maths.

And we used Cuisenaire Rods instead of bar charts.
> I experienced it as well and this isn’t true either.

I think you'd have to be knowingly looking the other way to take this so positively. Telling someone that what they said "isn't true" is analogous to calling them a liar.

Lots of caution needed about the data, and these are early data and the situation may change so we do need to pay attention to prevention, but:

I did this with my S5. It's not the easiest operation, but the nice thing about the device is that a factory reset is an actual factory reset, so you can always start over with factory firmware if you mess up.

I use a Wireguard VPN to access the Vacuum's web UI to control it; it has no internet access at all.
I do think the UI is good but not that revolutionary better than their competitors. And while not true per se, I don't associate Unix with hard vendor lock in.
Facebook and Twitter already give every user full moderation powers by allowing them complete control over who/what they follow.
> carriers and submarines loaded with nuclear missiles are not enough for you to project power in Greenland?

No. Nuclear deterrents work against nuclear threats. But a lot of modern warfare is by proxy. Subnuclear force is what matters.

More tangibly: Russia starts constructing a base on Greenland. Does France risk nuclear exchange to challenge it? For that matter, would America? Of course not.

Sanctions, blockading the construction site and threatening to build similarly near Russian assets would be the game. Each of these, individually, is within Paris' capacity. (Except, maybe, sanctions.) But collectively, no.

Gov. outsourced its censorship to corporations. That is why HN censors all alternatives to the mainstream.
Ask HN: GNU readline editing support in GUI frameworks
Is there a way to use GNU readline motion and editing key bindings in GUI frameworks like GTK+, Qt, etc.?

Over the years I have grown accustomed to readline's key bindings in the terminal (e.g.: ctrl+a: move to the line start, ctrl+e: move to the line end, etc.) and I find it annoying not to be able to use the same bindings in GUI input fields.

How come there isn't widespread support for this, and instead GUI frameworks use a different set of key bindings (e.g.: ctrl+a: select all)?
I might be missing something, but the whole point of zpools is to guard against disks failure; this service only gives you one drive at a time, so you are back to square one. Is it not better to provide multiple smaller disks, so that the sum goes to 8TB ?
This is running on any Metal enabled Mac, you don't need an M1 processor for that. In particular, current Mac Pro, or current iMac Pro, which (can) have beefy discrete GPUs.

I said for ages that Apple should be able to make strong inroads into the machine learning market. I think Nvidia should be very afraid of what Apple will hit them with over the course of this decade.
HN is the perfect example why censorship is getting more and more extreme.
If you look further down in this comment thread, that claim has been repeatedly debunked, likewise for Match.com. These sites have never been on any widely adopted DNS blacklist in Norway. It appears censoredplanet analyzed data from a corporate-only ISP.
I have the same flirtatious relationship with Rust. I dabble, do the AoC puzzles ever year, and that's it.

Yeah because regular no-name developers like Epic can't read the damn rules. It's quite simple. If you don't want to get booted off the app store then follow the rules. The rules are very easy to follow.

If you offer a multi platform "content" app on iOS then users should always have the option to create a subscription account directly on their iOS device. It's perfectly fine to create an account on a different platform and use it in the iOS app but this should neither be required, nor be directly advertised in the app.

Seriously, don't make random stuff up. Amazon and Netflix don't receive preferential treatment. If you want to make your own streaming app on iOS you can do that today as long as you follow the rules.
There's benchmarks in the mailing list.

I had a talk about that with a relative (soon to be retired teacher, got a decoration for his job). His point of view was that teachers should be viewed as technicians: they are here a apply a method, not to invent new ones.

This doesn’t need to be robotic, it still give a lot of room for personalization. I find he’s really right, especially since in my country everyone want to do their own stuff in their own way. The ministry is guilty as well, because it produces an endless stream of contradictory directives, each based on theories made by pedagogists that never taught in the field.

When the U.S says that more should be spent on NATO that usually means to buy more U.S equipment at inflated prices rather than to make Europe's defense more effective and efficient.

>> The European group have no history of coordinated executive action.

Yeah, perhaps they should start working on a coordinated executive action(i.e an EU army) or...just accept US protection for a "fee". It's been a good trade so far anyway. The only issue is that recently US started to double guess its past agreements.
It is a very different environment with different challenges, it isn't that useful an analog. Many of the Antarctica challenges relate to the ice.

No, but you can change the entire palette.
I may be misjudging the author, but this awfully reminds me of my childhood and makes me angry for this child.

Everything I did had to be approved. They were always on my back, watching and controlling everything.

If I wanted to do something they did not approve, they were angry or mocked me. They forced me on activities I hated because THEY liked it. Never aknowledging my wishes or needs.

Never had privacy because they always had to check everything I was doing. Even closing my door made them angry. God save me if I dared to actually lock it, hell would loose on me.

When I asked for help, they never really bothered, they even laughed at me and made me feel like I should be ashamed to ask a question.

I lived under ridiculously strict, completely non-logical and arbitrary rules in everything in my life. Even daring to ask an explanation made them angry because I was defying their authority.

Want to get this nice book you like? Too bad, you don't have money. But mom does not think this book is interesting, so we'll get this other one instead. What, you already want to buy something else? We already bough you a book last week, you should be grateful.

They moved in the countryside because they are completely antisocial.

What, you want to visit a friend? I'll have to drive you, you are so annoying. We'll do this another time.

What, you want to go to disneyland? And a shopping center? Do you even know how much it costs and how many people are there?

What, you don't want to spend every sunday with us visiting completely uninteresting places with us? What's wrong with you, why don't you never get out of the house?!

You got punished again at school? [hell looses on me] I was sure your friends were not very frequentable, stop stop meeting them. Seriously, why didn't the teachers see that? Parents and teachers are so incompetent nowadays. Fortunately you have parents giving you a good education.

Computers were the only place where I could escape from this hell. I could have my own virtual world and they could not control it. I could subscribe to a PhpBB forum and talk with actual human beings about things I actually liked. I could choose any video game, movie and music and get it on Emule without asking permission.

This had and still have devastating consequences on my well-being.

You should be listening to what your child wants and teach her how to make her own smart choices. You should give her freedom, love and care, not arbitrary limits without even un explanation.

If I did not have my computer that my parents did not understood, if they had the power and knowledge to control and choose what I am allowed to do with it, I probably would have ended-up killing myself or something.
I can't say I'm surprised they spied on their allies, it's a US spy agency after all. It does underline the fact that countries within the EU should move away from US deals for industries their member states compete in. The US simply cannot be trusted.
I used to run a nice website that paid $50 per (short) article to hobbyists under a work for hire contract. The amount of hassle involved in trying to deal with royalties would have meant we’d simply not bother publishing them at all.
I suppose the forwarding service might be different because it's you sending it to yourself; the US company only sent it to your US address. i.e. the restriction might be on US companies rather than 'exports from the US'. Just speculating.
In the end it's not something particular to biology. It's particular to software engineering in the US. Compare to any other technical field and you'll find that the outlier are US software engineers.
You don't have to learn 7 IDEs, I've never used git commands in my IDEs. Just use one git client.

And you don't have to remember the menus because they are contextual. Select a portion of text: unstage selected lines, reset selected lines, etc. Select a commit: checkout, create tag, revert, etc.

Things that are complicated on the CLI become routine and that changes the way you work.

To circle back, the original comment was that PRC claims had no legitimate basis in history and law. I pointed out ROC claims were based of both law and history, with enough tacit endorsement (by security members and other claimants) at the time that in terms of consensus, Chinese claims constitute the oldest and strongest among all claimants. Which is true. PRC inherited these claims, and the argument has not changed, only the geopolitical context has. Especially post UNCLOS when ownership granted EEZs and other territorial perks, and now SCS SLOCs and resource claims.

>Of course it matters how good their argument is – if it was stronger than enough countries would be interested in maintaining stable international order to back them up.

No international actor wants a regional Asian hegemony except China, there's no argument strong enough to override such interests. And there's no argument strong enough to form consensus among 6 claimants or US desire for Chinese containment. SCS is simply not a dispute that can be solved legally / multilaterally anymore, unless bilaterally under Chinese terms like original UNCLOS accession conditions. In the meantime, China has the industrial capacity change the conditions on the ground. Probably the most expedient method now, hence arguing over claims is not productive. The claims exist with clear historical documentation, for pretense of Chinese enforcement, that's all that matters.
