I should point out that very little of this article compares the hardware of these two devices. This article has two main comparisons. One of these is Pine64 vs Purism and the others Phosh vs LoMiri. For those who haven't read the article but want to quickly skim to the sections with actual comparison between the Librem 5 and the Pinephone, here are the relevant headers:

- Kill Switches

- Charging the battery

- Temperature

- Phone shape

The rest of the article is not about Librem 5 vs Pinephone. While the sections on the apps could have compared the two phones, instead they compare two operating systems. I would have loved a discussion of the performance differences between the two phones or the screen brightness or the speakers. However, most of this article is largely irrelevant to the phones.

Indeed.

My mobile.twitter.com traceroute prefers going through that path, as does en.wikipedia.org (both of which have sucked for me) while a Google route (to 172.217.6.78) hops through 12.122.149.186.
The script linked in the gist (https://gist.github.com/bmastenbrook/14c0e22fc02b95d4a48f82d...) is reporting diffs for me on Sonic fiber as well, which is leased from AT&T in much of the Bay Area. So seems to be a network layer or below issue.

Interestingly, the incorrect ASCII chars are always 8 chars higher or lower than their counterpart, indicating that bit 3 is consistently being flipped:

Edit: Can confirm connecting to VPN (ProtonVPN in this case) solves the issue.
A disgruntled former employee allegedly accessed the former employers system to send an unauthorized emergency message. That’s illegal and it doesn’t matter if it’s the Florida Department of Health, Google, or McDonalds.

Creating your own dashboard and fighting your former employer’s data is much more like whistleblowing or fighting the system. Hopefully these are just allegations and she can get good lawyers.
How do you mean? How would it know if a bit in the HTTP payload got flipped?
I think you’re misunderstanding - you can have a job just the project you use JetBrains products for can’t be your job or anyone’s job.

This is such a weird story. The Iranian government keeps changing its story. They also focus on strange details, like that the gun had the capability to hit the scientist but not his wife. Machine guns have penetration and dispersion, so unless firing from the front, I don't see how it could have minimized the chance of hitting a passenger next to the target. But then if firing from the front, you'd expect it would be likely to penetrate and hit someone in front or behind the target. It's just such a strange detail that really doesn't speak to AI at all.
"The guy" - the CEOs of both companies? You're essentially stating that the CEOs of Uber any Lyft are lying to their investors, which is a crime. That's a serious accusation and some actual evidence is needed.
I live in a small town, population around 9,000. There are several dozen trucks rolling coal here.

How many small towns are there in the USA, each one of these trucks belching soot equvalent to over a hundred vehicles?

Even if there are only twenty five thousand small towns, that's a quarter million additional soot stacks on the road.

As does RabbitMQ, Docker Swarm, AlertManager (prometheus addon).

If you run any of these systems in production, it is good to have a cursory understanding.
Also not many, but they all get history syncing down. They have to, it's at the core of the protocol. (And that aside, at least Element is available on just about every platform.)

Yes, I've heard that Gajim and Monal support it. I'm running both of them right now; Gajim doesn't appear to be fetching history from the server for the MUC I'm looking at in either the chat or history windows, Monal seems to attempt to but shows a progress spinner indefinitely. Conversations successfully loads history from the server; I can scroll back to well before I got this phone so I know it's not just local.
Oh wow I do not miss school.
I’m wondering if it's more to do with diesel passenger vehicles.

You have to work really hard to even find a diesel passenger car in the States. Whereas, at least for right now, they’re ubiquitous in the EU. (I mean an every day consumer vehicle you buy at a car dealership, ranging from a hatchback to an SUV.)

Which was ostensibly good for carbon emissions, given the fuel efficiency of contemporary diesel engines. Except, oops, they were lying through their teeth about non-CO2 emissions, and they kick out a godawful amount of pollution.
> I'd lose my mind if some swine pointed a gun at my child.

I understand the sentiment. I really do. But that is the wrong response when someone is pointing a gun at you. That’s how’s your child loses their father or mother.

Don’t forget that police are trained to shoot to kill. There is no training for “shoot to injure” ... the logic being that if you are injured, you can reach into your clothes and pull out a gun, potentially killing the officer who shot you.
Plugin Development in Unreal Engine: Part 1
Seattle’s tech scene consists of two giant tech companies that started in the 80s and 90s and the satellite offices of California HQ’d companies.

It’s a lot of cogs. There is no comparison when it comes to startups created in, say, the last 10 years or so.
Fortunately I have and they do have standing.
The emissions technology significantly increases the TCO of the vehicle so it's not exactly surprising that people disable it.
My laptop was not able to keep up with all the adtech running on this website.
There's only 30 seconds, but I couldn't see the guns pointed at anyone unless they were off-frame.
We always appreciate the effort.
Agreeing with this, but without more evidence it does sound like a case of the quote from Cardinal Richelieu (disputed in origin):

> If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him.

With the information currently available to the public it does appear like this action by government officials was done out of retribution
This lady has a great channel with really interesting content.
I felt the same way when I read they waited for 20 minutes. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be stated if the cops initially showed up with vests and guns drawn or if more showed up after failure to comply. If it was the former, I could understand the shock and cloudy judgment experienced by the scientist when you've realized your house is under siege.
Actual feminists don't want to be given preferential treatment. They just want a level playing field.

I can’t remember the last time I applied for a job. I find out about jobs through my network, which includes a few competent and connected recruiters.
Ask HN: Have you ever programmed in your sleep?
If so, did you use test driven development and what IDE did you go for?
Yes. The performance/power usage from the M1 is amazing. Developers are jumping to the devices and this will spur dev tools to support the new platform more quickly.

I have a new personal MBP 16” and a work MBP 16”. They are great devices but they run really hot and the fans seem like they’re almost always on.

So, I’m taking a few hundred dollar hit and trading in my MBP 16” for an M1 MBP.

If you do go for the MBP 16”, don’t worry too much. It’s a great device with compatibles lot of expansion options port-wise.
Much scarier when you actually see it with your own eyes:

I think it’s more misallocation of training than lack of training per se. Not enough emphasis on deescalation training.
I wasn't close enough to the process to be certain of this, but I believe you're totally correct here.

At least I know that there is no UI for manual issuance (or for manually resetting a rate limit condition), so there's no person you can call up and try to harangue/social engineer into doing these things for you.
He's selling a book, so I presume there's a high likelihood of ulterior motives.
Each TCP packet has a checksum but it does not catch 100% of all possible bit flips
Have you even bothered researching the Breonna Taylor case? The judge issued a warrant in spite of evidence clearly saying she's not guilty, and she's dead now.

Judges routinely issue warrants just because the good ol police officer man says it's totally ok and he'll get a nice lollipop for doing it.
Missed the obvious pun: "Everything Looks Like a Null"

I do wish practical database development/administration was taught in college. It's such a necessary skill...
Current competitors may go out of business. If there really is a niche, however, seeing off current competitors won't be the end of it. There's always someone else, who may not have burned so much VC.

The other option is that there will never be a sustainable business here.
Fast food is an expensive luxury to poor Americans who would live on generically branded large bags of frozen goods that are heated in an electric oven or microwave.

If we're talking the cheapest and worst food habits of the poorest, we're talking lots of ramen and tons of frozen foods. You can get big bags of frozen french fries for way cheaper than fast food. $3 gets you a fry at McDonalds or a 2 pound bag of frozen generic.

Fast food would be the luxury version lol.
The police (and their unions, and civilian voters with authoritarian pro-police ideologies) are a major political constituency on the right, one that Donald Trump had repeatedly pandered to (because he is a pro-police authoritarian). It is beyond naive to pretend “unaccountable police violence is good” isn’t a mainstream right-wing belief in 2020.

> When you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, you just seen them thrown in, rough. I said, ‘Please don’t be too nice.’ [Trump, July 2017]

> If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you?Seriously, OK? Just knock the hell — I promise you, I will pay for the legal fees. I promise. I promise. They won’t be so much, because the courts agree with us too — what’s going on in this country? [Trump, July 2016]

> “Sometimes they grab one guy, ‘I’m a reporter! I’m a reporter!” ...they threw him aside like he was a little bag of popcorn.” [Trump, September 2020, clearly mocking the reporter in context]

So the people on the “right” who are cool with this are basically every Republican official and about 70m Americans who voted for Trump last month. Seems like a lot of people!
It wasn't just a "website update", it was also a blog post by Paul Gordon, their Product Marketing Manager, about their enduring OSS support. Also, he outlines part of their mission in the post, if you're curious.

0. https://blog.travis-ci.com/oss-announcement
> SF isn't a nice town

You make this assertion but back it up by remarking on things from the past. The Mission was a bloodbath for Native Americans one or two centuries ago, yes, but how does that support your initial claim that it currently isn't a nice town? Is that supporting claim really affecting the residents of the mission so greatly right now?

I think San Francisco is a nice town. I hated it before the pandemic because I only stuck to the Mission and SoMA. I started taking walks in Russian Hill, North Beach/Telegraph Hill, the Marina, Ocean Beach, etc. Those are awesome neighborhoods with great people and many things to do. Just like any city in the USA, you get out of it what you put into it.
Isn't the Steam Linux Runtime supposed to handle the distro support problem? Or are there issues with that too? I was under the impression that Valve had essentially solved the distro support issue for Linux games distributed on Steam.
I was in the Ritz-Carlson in DTLA last year for Anime expo.

Waiting on the third floor for a convention with atleast 200 people just in that one smaller area, all of the sudden, a live voice came over the intercom with instructions
to immediately evacuate the building, all but essential staff. In my mind it seemed as serious as if there was an active shooter somewhere.

I was literally the only person in the group to fucking book it to a fire exit. Everybody else was just casually standing in line, like you seriously couldn't make up how serious they made the situation sound and how little just about everybody did to care.

It was over in about 5 minutes, I never heard any explanation as to why it had happened aside from a rumour that somebody was vaping in the lobby and did not leave when asked to. And this is like, the biggest hotel in DTLA, during a massive convention.

Not entirely relevant... but weird ass experience. People react to things strangely.

Funnily enough this is how my AT&T fiber is set up as well. They force you to use their router, and you can’t directly connect your router to the ONT. The problem is that they use a device certificate + EAP. There’s work arounds but it’s a pain.
I spent a long time trying to get the following to all work:

1. Store and forward
2. e2e encryption
3. Messages received on multiple clients at the same time, with clients being able to reconnect and pick up the complete conversation history.

In theory, all possible.

In reality, none of the clients I tried supported the same combo of XMPP plugins and encryption methods.

Oh, and I need clients that work on MacOS, Windows, and Android.

I am using conversations legacy on Android right now because that works with how ejabberd is setup on my machine, and how ejabberd is setup works with the clients other people I want to talk to are using.

I gave up using XMPP on a laptop since I'd get encrypted messages with the wrong key sent to other devices except whichever one I'd used most recently to send a message with.

I never did manage to set sending images working at faster than ~2KB/s.

It is like I am back in 1996 and using AOL IM, but worse.
How about cross posting / leaking messages across random organizations?

We use Slack, but have to use Teams with one partner only for video. One day I found a message that that was weird (in the sense that it was from nobody within the organization) also marked as "(no title)". When I clicked on it gave an error "We weren't able to access your conversation".

Here's the screenshot https://imgur.com/a/C2IKK2b
I don’t know why this response devolved into defensiveness and personal attacks. I never said I was a founder, though I worked at a startup that Rabois invested in early.

Being an investor is not “hard work” in the same way it is if you’re a founder or employee. Anyone who says it is is lying.
Right. Diesel is filthy and thankfully never became very popular in the US except for tractor/trailers and railroads.

I believe wood burning fires and trash fires also contribute.

In a competitive game don't let clients dictate what the server does. Although I understand there is a performance issue. But clients should not be trusted.

It can be a trivial investigation.

It is also a trivial piece of data to plant. Given the facts, I see no particular motivation for her to have sent the message. However I do see a motivation for the department to try to frame her. And they've already established a willingness to make stuff up.

And I'd also want to know more about the setup. What is the machine used for? What else is on it? How is the logging set up?

Given the general incompetence shown, I wouldn't be surprised if the machine needed to provide ingress is also one that is publicly accessible for downloading data from the public. With lots of stuff in unlogged POST requests. If so, they could indeed have a request from her close in time to when the message was sent. And it might be legitimately hard to figure out whether she was doing something authorized or not.
There doesn't seem to be much information about the content of this book. But the quote by Dan Friedman is intriguing:

“Hanson and Sussman's Software Design for Flexibility has introduced additive programming, a game changer. An additive style allows for making changes to existing designs without the programmer's efforts looking like the work of a contortionist. With elegance, clarity, and care, they point out long-overlooked problems in software design and offer their Scheme-friendly, clever solutions. Enjoy!”

I love this page. I've used this page as a reference, it saved me a lot of time and left me with a stronger understanding as well.

It reminds me of old school web. When google first came on the scene I was amazed at how many informational pages from either hobbyists or professionals existed (but which I wasn't finding with older search engines), where someone just decided to put everything they know about some topic into a page in glorious detail.
This is a non-issue with a properly designed and used kitchen. Sufficiently-powerful vent hood over a gas stove. The. End.

Also, we use a BlueAir 680i and 3M Filtrete 2800 filters, so the particulate count indoors approaches 0 mcg/m^3 in PM1, 2.5, and 10.
Seems like this gets posted every couple of weeks on HN. And I got duped into this.

The caveat with this is that many games don’t work in multiplayer due to incompatible anti-chest software. Seems to have a pretty good track record in stand alone gaming though.

Checksums. TCP is supposed to provide reliability against data corruption, resend bad packets, etc.
Anecdote from my past:

I used to play counter strike/Starcraft in my middle school years. I pretty much figured out I had consistent packet loss with a simple ping test. I was on the phone with Time Warner every other day for months. They kept sending the regular technicians, at one point ripping out all of my cable wires in the house to see if it fixed the problem. Nothing worked, I kept calling, at this point I had the direct number to level 3 support. They saw the packet loss too. Finally, after two or three months they send out a Chief Engineer. Guy says I’ll look at the ‘box’ on one of the cable poles down the block. He confirmed something was wrong at that source for the whole area. Then it finally got fixed.

Took forever dealing with level 1 support, and lots of karenesque ‘can I talk to your supervisor please’, but that’s literally what it took.

So yeah, if you want stuff like this fixed, stay professional, never ever curse, consistently ask to speak to the supervisor, keep records, and keep calling.

Small shout out to the old http://www.dslreports.com/ for being a great support community during the early days of broadband for consumer activism in terms of making sure you got legit good broadband.
My new local coffee shop is package-free. No disposable cups, no straws, no lids. They have mugs to use if you’re outside drinking coffee, but they encourage you to bring or buy a reusable thermos.

Which requires a very slight bit of adaptation, because you have to remember to bring your own mug, but you get used to it. (Helps that they ran a “buy a thermos, get 4 free coffes” deal.) I could easily get used to it at other take-out places.
And some routing hardware have been known to ignore this--meaning they'll forward the packet data along and re-calculate the checksum.
Benji Smith, who used to hang out on Joel's software forum, was on the Costa Concordia with his new wife when it ran aground and sank. Being on the high-side of the ship helped them survive, using a rope they found to climb down the hull. Getting to the deck before the corridors became impassible because of the list was critical.

> Then, an empty wine bottle started to move, creeping inch by inch toward the edge of the table as though possessed by a tiny, timid ghost. When it reached the precipice, it hesitated for a moment of contemplation and then tipped over the edge, thumping down on the carpet and rolling under the bed.

At one time, San Francisco was very bohemian and very counter cultural. The Electric KoolAid Acid Test has its genesis in San Francisco. As do the Grateful Dead, the summer of love, and many other parts.

You can still find many vestiges of this, like all the head shops and very non mainstream things in the Haight Ashbury, but the reality is that it is far less of a counter-cultural mecca today than it was fifty, or even twenty, years ago.

The reputation is taking a long time to catch up to that reality though.
