When I first saw this a while back I got the idea to build a terminal based email client that supported rendering HTML messages using some of the technology behind this.

I should really pick that up again.
Funny, I never used questions with Google, until very recently, and only with some queries.

After I apply Windows security patches and reboot, the machine starts Edge automatically, full-screen, and doesn't allow me to close it.

I have to kill the process in Task Manager. How many ordinary users know how to do this?

This has happened multiple times on multiple machines.

People say if you don't pay for the product, you are the product. Well I paid for Windows, and still get this user-hostile treatment.

It's fucking outrageous.

How can anyone complain about Google's monopoly while Microsoft gets away with shit like this?

They could have added namespaces to branch names. Right now branch names are just a free-for-all. Instead, if they insisted that branch names are always prefixed with "username/", then you wouldn't need forks and anybody could freely submit code to any project. PRs would become MRs.

I believe this is how most Git repos are managed within organizations. I'm not sure why public repos need to require users to fork things to propose changes.

And isn't this basically how Github works internally anyways? (eg https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24882921)
Obvious innuendo aside, this evokes getting "cock-a-doodle-dooed" by my alerting / incident response software because it's blowing up somehow.
I have had success with Reddit for my SaaS. Of course it is a GIF application that makes memes so that is a natural fit for a number of communities on Reddit. A standard gif typically gets 5-30k views however there are one or two examples that reached much higher.
This is exactly where he lost me. I don't think it is hard at all to find results in "tier 1" domains with DDG. I would argue the we have the opposite problem almost entirely. Besides blogspam / internet cancer and t1 sites you hardly get any results. It's incapable of finding the actually useful communities or blogs for your query.
This. We do not have machines able to sort meaning out yet, so why bother?
I'm surprised that Brian Krebs still uses Comodo.

They addressed it, but didn't give any indication when x86 containers will be ready (and how they'll do it). Expect at least next year.

> When you look at markets like "Who Will Win California" or "Who Will Win the Popular Vote", I'm convinced that many people making bets are delusional.

These are basically deep OTM options. In Feb this year, you could call a deep SPY OTM put as delusional; because the speed of the market crash has never happened previously in history and is a 6 to 7 sigma event. These options would have paid out 10,000%; at the best possible times.

There are various possible events in the world which could've caused a popular win victory for Trump. Such as:

* Biden getting COVID and not surviving
* Armed warfare or terrorist attack against the United States
* other unlikely, but possible events.

"The Pluton security processor ... providing a secure identity for the CPU" - and let me guess, this cpu identity becomes a "required" telemetry data point for... security reasons :(

Reminds me of the Pentium III cpu-id privacy-busting "feature".
A third party browser? Cute
Servo wasn't a Gecko replacement. It was rather "2nd biggest rust project" and a place to work on thing that might end up in firefox.

That's it. Firefox already has big chunks of Servo inside, those aren't going anywhere - without them firefox will be slow again.

The best part about a name like CockroachDB is it keeps all the people away who would complain about a database being named CockroachDB, who would most likely be your lowest value, highest complaining customers.
Could we? I assumed the whole point was to use a crater as a ready-made, almost-parabolic dish, meaning that only the receiver and suspension wires would have to be sent over -- vastly reducing the required payload vs constructing an entire 1km diameter dish in space.
Worth noting is our own rather poor showing in elite politics in the US. Around 25% women in congress. And if you look at only Republicans it's under 9%. Yes, you read that correctly.
in my culture, during the last few months of pregnancy, the mother to be goes off to her mom's house. all new borns come home to a gaggle of grandmothers and aunts. and cousins. mom will not be sleep deprived. this is the village. as i got older, i had my share of baby cousins to tend and this gives mom time to recover. sleep is a major healing factor.

babies are a group effort. women need their tribe. its an old fashioned way of thinking, but i am only speaking from my lived experiences. YMMV etc. this was also a way for young girls to become familiar with babies and understand pregnancy. once you have seen a live birth and distended nipples and the bloody river of afterbirth, women have a very realistic notion of what childbirth means...its like acclimitizing before entering the death zone while climbing mt.everest. parenthood requires proper introduction before one can jump into it. exposure to other parents..usually family is better for women because one way or another, we are all going to end up with the same blooms and warts as our grandmothers anyways. might as well understand the terrain before entering it. #female perspective.

as far as men are concerned..all i can say is make sure you have a way to earn and support your child. because babies are expensive. how do you prove that you are worthy of being a father? by being a provider, of course. one can always hire a night nanny. but you still need the means to support a child.
Best answer to my admittedly wild hypothesis. Yes, this would be the correct response from Russia. But it's quite likely the US would find that a much easier thing to deal with than the ICBMs (and SLBMs) were for the last 60 years.

1. Hypersonic weapons. They don't have enough range. The Russian officials claim the Kh-101 missile has a range of 4500km, but it's more likely it's about 1500 km. That's quite bad, but defenses can be set up
2. 100 MT TNT autonomous submersible drones. To have their purported devastating effect, they need to blow up close to the shore, otherwise they don't create a huge tsunami. It's not a slam dunk that the Russians are able to sneak in such a drone close to the US shores.
3. Nuclear powered cruise missiles. They do have the range, and they appear quite scary. If Russia makes advances in this, it would be a benefit for humankind, as this technology could be used in space exploration. The MAD doctrine could be alive and well, but we'd end up with a powerful new tool in our toolbox for exploring the Solar system. Elon Musk would not be very upset.
> Should the bank allow people to put up a fake front for the ATM recording the customers card and PIN?

This is a false dichotomy. The hardware attestation for SafetyNet is orthogonal to being able to use hardware attestation for e.g. session/user keys, or even chain-of-trust down to the fingerprint sensor level.

Keys can be kept secure using secure enclaves even if the OS is rooted.

Blocking rooted phones with SafetyNet is just spite.

Not to mention, an ATM is property of the bank and is shared-use. The user is not the owner. The phone belongs to the user.
Some people make it a false dilemma: either there are "mythical" 10x developers, or it is about teamwork. Then they prove the teamwork is important... and therefore 10x developers do not really exist!

But in fact, there are people who are 10x developers and are great team players. And there are also people with great technical skills, who are completely toxic. And there are also people with mediocre technical skills who believe themselves to be gods, and for some reason management seems to believe them. All of these are real, and I have met them.

For good cooperation, both the 10x developer and the rest of the team need to be good team players. Because some people are unable to teach, but also some people are unable to learn. Some people are condescending to those with less experience, but also some people are hostile to those with more experience. If the team works well together, the 10x developer can set the project architecture right, teach other team members to follow some good principles, and then all together do seemingly miracles.
Building llvm is the most memory intensive part of compiling Rust itself. You can, I believe, skip this and use pre-built llvm binaries.
Depends on what one means by "polished", I suppose. You can have a polished implementation of a not-so-polished specification, and vice versa.
That tweet says "Despite what the browsers may be saying, the site is still safe to visit."

Is it though?

Asking people to ignore browser warnings seems like bad advice from a security expert.

Something similar, but a bit different has happened a few times to me where I've had to show a lot more restraint than I would have previous. With my daughter or without, I now have a responsibility to stay out of trouble. I can't just run in mouth and fist first into any situation.

I've described it as emasculating in the past, but this thread has changed my mind to think about it as more being in control and ready - a man with a purpose.

Thanks all for discussing.
The most promising thing in this area, IMO, is NixOS and surrounding tools like NixOps. They're strange and hard to learn, and you have to do almost everything differently from what you learned, but it is really true declarative configuration of a machine from the ground up, not quasi-declarative where there's always state that gets left out and you can never really trust the diffing/idempotency mechanisms because they're layered on top of things that weren't meant to be used that way.

(If you dig into the details, you will find some "atrocious hacks" as the sibling comment puts it, but because of how it works, the hacks are almost completely encapsulated at build time and those builds are reproducible, so there's much less to worry about when you're deploying/provisioning.)

What's the difference between this version of Firefox and the version of Firefox that can be installed on an iPad? I have been running Firefox on Apple silicon for some time I thought.
Yeah, I, too, found that to be a really odd piece of advice from a security expert.

If I were the Brian (but I'm not), I would have asked followers to not trust the site until the certificate issue is fixed, even though I "know" my site is still safe. I think the properly cautious attitude is to consider all bets being off when a certificate is invalid for whatever reason. There is no guarantee what your visitors are actually getting.
> I know it's been said a million times before.

But yet this a comment about CRDB's name finds it way to the top of the HN discussion once again.

What does not die is the need to complain about a product name instead of a constructive discussion about what it actually does.
strstr can find a multi-byte character in a multi-byte sequence. There is no ISO C function to find the first occurrence of any one of a bag of multi-byte characters, though it's not difficult to write one.

> I have been told it doesn't make sense to break on whitespace for Chinese text.

It could make sense to break on whitespace in some programming language or data format that allows Chinese (and other) identifiers.

A command interpreter that allows Chinese arguments (such as file names) wants to break on spaces, as usual.

> if a delimiter appears as part of a multi byte sequence, you may see strange results.

UTF-8 was designed by a dyed-in-the-wool C-and-Unix engineer, who ensured that such a thing can't happen. No character in the 0x00-0x7F range can occur in a multi-byte character.

The byte which starts a UTF-8 character cannot occur anywhere other than at the start, which is why we can use strstr to look for it.

I remember the urban legend meme that cockroaches could survive anything, even nuclear war.

I also used to live somewhere that we’d occasionally see a cockroach, and they’re disgusting. Any time I hear the word cockroach, immediately it reminds me of the times I was going to the bathroom and looked up to see a cockroach, jumping back in surprise. It’s a much stronger emotion attached to the word. Just immediate feeling of disgust.

I wouldn’t mind working on a project that uses cockroachDB if it really is the best tool for the job, but I do feel a little weird about it. And the name has kept me from really looking into it previously...
And I am saying this is clearly not flouting the law.
You're choosing the argument first and then trying to justify it post hoc. That's the downside of having these conversations in thread format; it's easy to disagree, and tough to acknowledge that the other guy can be right about some things and wrong about others.

Sure, the critical path setup and hold time limit clock speeds, but that's not the reason for throttling a chip that can turbo at a higher clock. Even if it were, certain operations with a shorter critical path could run at faster clock even when hot.

If thermals weren't the dominant factor, you wouldn't need better cooling to overclock.

My perspective (correct me if wrong):

Hot semiconductors can damage themselves, and this becomes more important as the lithography shrinks. Binning is designed to identify which silicon can be pushed harder and which is not quite up to the task.

I agree with the other guy that if your CPU always runs at its steady-state temperature that means it is leaving performance on the table.
I never understood why browsers don't just go ahead and load websites with expired certificates and merely provide milder warnings for a few weeks/months. The expiration date doesn't mark any meaningful real-world event that indicates the private key might be compromised... it's just an expiration date. Why set off all the alarms and make the user freak out and make it so hard to visit the site as soon as the certificate becomes 1 millisecond too old? It seems to violate common sense.
Unless I'm mistaken, the rendering engine on iOS would only be WebKit, and whatever else safari provides.
No alternative aloud. So it's ui/features on top of, essentially, Safari not real Firefox.
Groceries would be a good start.
How we can stop the spread of COVID-19? It is really very simple. Stay the fuck at home.
The Firefox you can install on an iPad is a mobile Firefox, designed for iPhone and iPad. This is desktop Firefox, the one you get on a Mac/PC. Also, because of the App Store rules, the mobile version uses WebKit instead of Gecko.
I normally would not reply to someone who equates my blog posts with the ravings of a megalomaniacal fachist, but I will at least clarify for the benefit of onlookers that all three of these points are false. I handle account deletion and GDPR requests all the time, and every email you get from sr.ht (1) is not a marketing email and (2) can be trivially unsubsribed from, with the exception of payment notifications - which is not only allowed per the GPDR, but a lot better than silently charging you a recurring payment forever.
Now that is interesting! Do you remember where he said this?
It's not as if they shot 6 missiles at once and it only caught one. They did 6 tests, likely tuning the system every time and the current configuration is able to catch shoot down the missile.
Yes, it's very useful for people like me who live on bookmarks.

Thank you!
It's self-evident that this must be so. As an evolutionary strategy it's essential to produce a family before engaging in high risk activity like war or space exploration that has a good chance of getting you dead. In the past for many if not all human cultures, most marriageable men that weren't set to inherit had to spend some time doing dangerous things before they had the social standing to marry.
>Circa 2012, I was certain Facebook would eat Twitter's lunch.

I think they serve different markets. Twitter is more public facing and basically ephemeral status updates. That and you can follow almost anyone and ignore the trolls, retweets.

Facebook has more personal information, pictures and friend relationships. You don't really want trolls spamming your FB visible to everyone. In fact that's what makes FB unattractive.

That would open a new vector of attack where an attacker would simply have to compromise any of your previous certs; not necessarily an easy feat but still a new vector
Bias finds its way into every corner. And no, it's not safe unless you do some extensive analysis of the certificate in question. Is this actually a valid/genuine certificate, besides the timestamp? A normal user will have a hard time verifying that.
There can be other frequented examples, say, ~/Pictures.

> In 50 years we'll see them in [..] scientific journal articles.

I highly doubt this. Common shortcurts (such as "it's" for "it is") and dialect is still absent from serious journals (unless it's the research target, of course) and I'm rather sure emojis will similarly be disregarded.
Putting M1 into low-end devices before Christmas gets the device into the hands of users, solving a chicken-and-egg problem by motivating developers to roll out software that runs natively on M1.

The people who care most about using specific applications that are designed for x86, are the same people who buy the upper-end MBP13 and the MBP16. It makes sense to flesh out the software ecosystem and snag a free iteration on M chips before moving those devices to Apple Silicon.
The other company that hasn't capitalized on search is Facebook.
When you inherit any code, it's always a mess, at least that's my experience. Sometimes a working mess, but it's rare to inherit nice code in any system.

I could be biased since I've worked mostly with Python, Ruby, PHP, and Java.
In what data format or programming language is 'e' a delimiter? One situation is floating-point constants, where 'e' is a delimiter indicating the exponent. However, if an é occurs in the middle of such a constant, whether as a single code point or a combined character, that is an error. The 'e' must be followed by an optional sign and one or more decimal digits.

The ISO C library string handling stuff is for systems programming, not for scanners and parsers for natural written language.
I don't fully understand something about the general tech industry discourse around search and would love to hear if I'm wrong.

Here's my brief and slightly made up history of search engines:

In the beginning of time, search engines took a Boolean query (duck AND pond) and found all the documents which contained both words using an inverted index and then returned them in something like descending date order. But for queries which had big result sets, this order wasn't very useful and so search engines began letting users enter more "natural language" queries (duck pond) and sorting documents based on the number of terms that overlap with the query. They came up with a bunch of relevance formulas - tfidf, BM25 - that tried to model the query overlap. But it turns out this is tricky because user intent is a really tricky problem and so modern day search engines just declare that relevance is whatever users click on. Specifically they just model the probability that you're going to click on a link (or something) using a DNN that uses things like the individual term overlap, the number of users that have clicked on this link, the probability it's spam, the PageRank etc. Some search engines like Google also include personalized features like the number of times you have clicked on this particular domain - because for instance as a programmer your query of (Java) might have different intent than your grandmother's. This score then gets used to sort the results into a ranked list. This is why search engines (DDG included) collect all this data - because it makes the relevance problem tractable at web scale.

Maybe just my perspective but I just really don't understand why OP would want to build an index - it's hard boring expensive and doesn't violate data privacy - and I don't think people grasp that - at least to some extent - data privacy and relevance are in direct conflict?
They're free to spend their time on whatever they want, and I wouldn't presume to tell them what to do.

What I am doing here is not that. I am explaining a fact. If you want to go to the moon, you need a rocket. Building a zero-gee deep fryer to serve hotdogs on the way is not going to get the job done.
Firefox is still a bit smoother, but just found the culprit too. It's 1Blocker.
While you're not paying for the cert, there is certainly still a cost involved.
