It is then not surprising that digital content is steadily taking over the traditional content in all spheres. Newspapers are turning into websites. TVs to on-demand streaming. Radios to podcasts. But for magazines, it has been a little stagnant. The magazines were “digital” but only the electronic versions of the print files with a few hyperlinks. It just wasn’t enough.

In general, magazines are easy to read, fairly brief in length, and include illustrations or photographs. They’re fun and engaging. Then digital magazines must be equally stimulating while being far more inclusive as well as interactive. Articles should be alive, personalized, and real-time. Brands should get the chance to interact, one-on-one, with their consumers present in any part of the world. Interactive videos, such as ads which tell emotive stories should hit the right chord with the right audience at the right time. Publishers should be able to better understand the readers by actually connecting with them. Moreover, digital magazines should be affordable and accessible to wherever content is consumed digitally.

That was, is, and will continue to be the driving force behind WorldPlus. We are striving provide the best digital magazine experiences in the world while disrupting the technologies to create them. Plus, contributing to the sustainability of the planet one issue at a time.
I thought this article was going to describe neurological functions in terms of circuitry, but it's more like a social science narrative

> What’s clear is that peripersonal space doesn’t correspond to an objective region of space with a stable, well-defined border. Rather, peripersonal space is a subjective region that you represent as being directly relevant for you.
The point is that the more private you make something the less ability you have to audit its integrity. If sending a 3rd party a list of hashes is a privacy problem, then security is what takes a hit in order to preserve privacy. That’s not an “extreme case”, it’s what’s being discussed in the essay and in this thread.

Similar examples include DNS over TLS vs DNS filtering for content security, and client certs for mutual TLS vs exposing personal information in said cert, and secure neighbor discovery, and IPv6 (can’t have a global IP because someone might track it), the list goes on.

I’m not saying we should pursue security at all costs or privacy at all costs, far from it. I am saying exactly that there’s a balance between the two and moreover that the balancing point may be different for individual people which leads to arguments like we’re seeing here between people who calibrate more on the security end vs people who prefer extreme privacy. And in my experience people very often conflate the two, which makes it hard to have a productive discussion.

Finally, I’d venture to say that the privacy push of late is having impacts on the ability to deploy strong identity because much of the privacy wave lacks the nuance to distinguish between entities you trust and hence with which it’s okay to maintain a stable secure identity, and those that aren’t. Instead the trend lately has been remove stable identifiers (e.g. Apple’s move to fake mac addresses and GDPR’s IPs are PII) and conceal everything no matter what (TLS 1.3 and DoT/DoH although props to Mozilla for making it possible to configure at the network level via DNs).
Right, but then Thunderbird regularly prompts you to update to 78.x, and I’ve almost clicked ok several times already. I assume there’s probably a setting one can toggle in the config editor to turn off the prompt, but there should really be an option in the UI.

I wouldn't think at all. Just like I do not think Microsoft would implement Swift backend for windows.
You are right. Sun's were much more expensive. But I would argue both were in the same class. NeXT also frequently compared themselves to Sun.

I'm pretty sure Sun offered huge academic discounts. I never saw NeXT at any of the local universities... It was mostly Sun and DEC.
I presume a lot of the perf gains of hypervisors are using Intel vt-x to hardware accelerate.

The other issue with ARM is that there are several dozen chip varieties whereas x86 only has Intel and AMD. This could hopefully accelerate mini-CPU companies springing up with their own ARM64 chips producing their own hardware running Windows ARM64. Google is rumored to be designing their own CPUs for future high-powered Chromebooks and Pixel phones. Qualcomm has an ARM64 chip powering the Microsoft Surface ProX but it’s nowhere near the performance levels of M1. Microsoft is starting to experiment with CPUs with the Pluton chip, maybe they will design an “M1” flagship chip going forward for their own Surface product line.

Many research scientists like to tie their research to something eye catching, or something generally interesting to the public.

Yes, I found this video when a used bulb was gifted to me, & had to reset. It was enlightening.
I guess this can be extended to bein exponential backoff, where you increase time of interactions based on response.

5sec is too small window for someone to absorb, unless the feedback is something the receiver is aware of already.
When this type of stuff starts happening, I take it as a sign that the software has reached "critical mass", is now in a runaway cycle of increasing abuse of its users, and migrate away as quickly as possible.

Thunderbird, years ago for me.

If a human acts abusive towards me, it is logical to end the relationship, even if it is years old.

I am a tolerant person, so once or twice I may accept excuses and justifications, but after that, it's time to distance myself.

I don't see why it should be any different from software. If I feel like I am dependent on it and "can't" move away, all the more reason to prioritize finding alternatives.

It is irrelevant whether the causes are incompetence, malice, or "accidental", the result is all the same, and I cannot allow it.
I use Chrome for an Android phone and I have the accessibility setting to 130%, just because of HN. The main page doesn't utilize the setting, so I wrote my own main page -- it's about 100 lines of JavaScript.

“The door refused to open. It said, “Five cents, please.”
He searched his pockets. No more coins; nothing. “I’ll pay you tomorrow,” he told the door. Again he tried the knob. Again it remained locked tight. “What I pay you,” he informed it, “is in the nature of a gratuity; I don’t have to pay you.”
“I think otherwise,” the door said. “Look in the purchase contract you signed when you bought this conapt.”
In his desk drawer he found the contract; since signing it he had found it necessary to refer to the document many times. Sure enough; payment to his door for opening and shutting constituted a mandatory fee. Not a tip.
“You discover I’m right,” the door said. It sounded smug.
From the drawer beside the sink Joe Chip got a stainless steel knife; with it he began systematically to unscrew the bolt assembly of his apt’s money-gulping door.
“I’ll sue you,” the door said as the first screw fell out.
Joe Chip said, “I’ve never been sued by a door. But I guess I can live through it.”

My dear Morse:

It was very pleasant to receive a letter from you the other day. Perhaps I should have found it pleasanter if I had been able to decipher it. I don’t think I mastered anything beyond the date, which I knew, and the signature, at which I guessed.

There is a singular and perpetual charm in a letter of yours — it never grows old, and it never loses its novelty. One can say every morning, as one looks at it, ‘Here’s a letter of Morse’s I haven’t read yet. I think I shall take another shy at it to-day, and maybe I shall be able in the course of a few years to make out what he means by those t’s that look like w’s and those i’s that haven’t any eyebrows.’

Other letters are read and thrown away and forgotten, but yours are kept forever–unread. One of them will last a reasonable man a lifetime.

Admiringly yours,

T.B. Aldrich
This is friggin awesome! Wish I’d known about it sooner.
I'm not living there but I would guess that profiteering off the name is seen with contempt as it approves of the meaning. At least for older people. Tbh, your suggestion to cash in on that silly phenomena wouldnt make it stop. Not everything that can be profitable needs to be done :-)
Submit is not a syscall. io_uring_enter is the only syscall that is used while running a ring. That one may submit, wait or both at the same time. Strictly speaking it isn't necessary but to avoid it you require elevated privileges.
It's an odd colour scale on that map, red, then light blue through black. Usually it's something simpler, like blue through red.

It takes a look at the scale to realize that the former Soviet Union countries actually have the best price rather than the worst price.

Might be good to have a 2nd map adjusted for PPP as well.
Feedbacks should be given in best interest of team not in best interest of you. Period.

My understanding is that it's unlikely cpuinfo and meminfo will be made cgroup-aware due to procfs-specific conventions on magic files. Making global procfs files change based on the current process is seen as a bad design these days -- should it be based on the process reading or the process opening the file (in this instance, both solutions are bad but for different reasons)? From memory, the topic was brought up early on in cgroup development.
Thank you for that. I learned something.
I’ve heard about this trick/incantation as well, but haven’t managed to measure a significant performance gain (though it makes sense in theory). Do you know of any quantitative evidence that this is solid advice? I suppose my testing is not at all scientific, just my anecdotal experience using make -j(i+1)
I spent this summer learning about the different mushroom in my area in as much depth as possible and it is incredible how little we know about most of them besides a name and very apparent superficial features.
Legitimate question: is there a strong economic argument for this line of reasoning? How much of the price of a physical book is actually for the commodities and distribution, and how much is for the content itself, marketing, contracts, etc., which remain the same regardless of medium.

I ask because I also see this argument frequently made about digital video games, but it’s a little too reductive to be a clear cut deal. With video games, you really aren’t paying for the commodities and distribution (discs, packaging, etc. make up a insignificant portion of the pricing). You’re paying for the development team, the marketing, the content itself (value-based pricing), etc. I realize books have different economics than games — especially considering there is usually ONE writer, not a massive team — so I ask this in good faith. I am very interested in the topic.

It also doesn’t use GPG’s keychain. If you “upgrade” from Enigmail, it will try to import your keychain. Now you have two keychains :( Of course, if you’ve detached your primary key, the import will fail (in a very unclear way), so you have your GPG keychain and a half-baked duplicate of it in Thunderbird. Then the UI for encrypting and signing mail is hidden away in a menu somewhere, so I forget to turn it off when I don’t want it (some legacy systems don’t react well to the “weird” attachments). When I do want it, it magically knows my passphrase and encrypts/decrypts/signs automatically, whether it’s me at the helm or not. So much for security at rest.

Honestly, I was really frustrated and disappointed by the upgrade. It’s not easy to roll it back, either, apparently. I haven’t risked it, but I sorely miss TB68 with Enigmail.

Ask HN: What Happened to India?
Indian culture created many amazing things that are like incredible technologies for the human body, all different kinds of meditation and breathing exercises and yoga in my personal experience these things are incredibly transformative and operating in ways that Western science is too imbecilic to understand at this time. now we have studies showing that long-term "meditators" have structural changes and behavior changes in their brain and nervous system but that's just for one type of meditation there are so many types of meditation and yoga and and breathing exercises and other practices that could be creating structural or genetic or other changes in us. What I'm saying is these are incredible technologies and even though I have less experience of it it seems that India has a lot of really good social technologies as well like some amount of religious diversity and organizing social narratives and religious stories that let people feel meaning within a larger framework. I'm not saying everything is perfect at all but all I'm wondering is this society created many incredible things technologies that far advanced beyond our present understanding of our so-called civilized and so-called you know "most developed" societies in the west. So what I'm wondering is like why isn't India "ruling the world" or possessing an apparent you know highest quality of life?
Okay, but only because people keep asking:

I'm not proud of it. It's completely undocumented. I'm smack in the middle of completely rewriting what I had yesterday, and I haven't tested it in its current state. I've discovered PRAW and am trying to use it rather than make direct requests to Reddit's API. I'm not yet convinced that's a good idea. So it's almost certainly somehow broken right now. I can't promise I'll maintain it or pay any attention to bug reports or pull requests.

But hey, sometimes random code on the internet just needs to be random code on the internet. Maybe it can inspire someone more competent and dedicated to a project like this to fire something up.
There is another multi-billion dollar industry who probably would rather people keep paying them for their antidepressants than growing some cheap shrooms in their yard.
I just checked their availability site and it said at my address (in Sunnyvale, arguably silicon valley, but maybe not) was $49.99/mo for 24mbps.

I tried a second time specifically selecting the 1Gbps fiber option from their top bar and it gave the same result.

You can't assume all roads are two-way/full duplex. It is possible (not sure how frequent) that going from A to B takes considerably longer than going from B to A.
Yep. As long as your LAN is functional and the hub (which uses the ZigBee protocol often referenced in the comments here) is appropriately routeable, internet access is entirely optional - unless of course you want to control the lights from outside of your home.

I read a similar story about someone in North Carolina a bit ago. He identified a scratch-off lottery game that was near its end, with an unclaimed top prize, and bought all the tickets left at gas stations in the less-populated parts of the state. He found the winning ticket.
Here's a direct link to the cease and desist letter:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Et4MvITYvb11JmQgBVUgbhRtNQ-...

The letter claims that he's infringing on a "Protected Designation of Origin", which seems to be analogous to a trademark. The title of his video is “How to make Grana Padano Style Cheese”, so it may be an overreach to claim that he's using the trademark to describe his cheese rather than to compare it with another product. A lawyer would be able to tell him whether there's a legitimate claim of infringement here.
When things like this go down, it makes me wonder what would happen if Twitter were built on the affected infrastructure. What would be the backup platform? I'd look here (HN), but where would others look? Facebook? LinkedIn?
They indirectly helped the space by lighting a fire under GCC's ass by funding clang development. Clang + LLVM is also useful in general for everyone, after all it's the backbone of code generation for languages like Rust.
To be fair trying to get a decent hardware key is a lesson in "no longer sold" from any list I found when looking into it a year back for GPG.

In fairness I also had the requirement of "is not USB" - but this is reasonable IMO (don't train your users to plug in USB key like things)

Isn’t it actually $60-65, because they won’t sell you the service without a $10-15/month voice line that I, at least, will never plug an actual phone into?

I mean, I’m mostly just annoyed by the dishonesty in the marketing, Sonic service has been awesome, and $65 is still a great deal for truly symmetric 1 Gbps.
Hosting your own local server has it’s pains too, and most people doesn’t know how. The down rate of cloud services still likely have better up time than most can guarantee with their own servers.

> What do they gain?

Possibly the following:

- Happier customers

- Additional positive news coverage and better PR

- Customers buying more games (and sending more money to Sony) instead of putting money in scalpers' pockets (in addition to the commission fees pocketed by eBay etc.)

- New players who can't afford the scalpers' excessive markup but might become long-term PlayStation customers if they could just find a console at MSRP

I almost wish Sony had offered PS+ subscribers the chance to preorder a console that would be factory locked to their PSN ID for a year or something, sort of like a phone upgrade.

Fortunately Sony seems to have a better availability track record than (cough) Nintendo, so I expect that the supply will improve fairly quickly. Also since many transition games work on PS4 as well as PS5, there's not a huge downside to waiting.
Looks like a cool book. Congrats!
