I'm using Safari as my primary browser because Chrome is a resource hog and this i9 MBP sounds like a 747 taking off when it starts using CPU but Chrome is a better browser feature wise - I plan on switching back to desktop (since this WFH shift it's just better) and I will 100% use Chrome even if Safari was an option (fan noise/CPU power/power consumption aren't a concern).
My understanding is that the US government cannot realistically regulate the Bitcoin protocol, but it can regulate it's own citizens use of it. It wouldn't be materially difficult to pass a law stating that all bitcoin transactions made by citizens and businesses subject to US jurisdiction must be registered. While they would not be able to block the transaction, they can go after anyone who made the transaction.
Aggregate measures are not individual measures.

The appropriate statistics aren't savings rate, but poverty rate, unemployment, workforce participation, evictions (mostly though not all ilegal or undocumented presently), and similar indicia of how many people and families are living beneath sustainable fundamental minima.

If there's clearly a problem yet your indicator, diagnostics, or data don't indicate a problem, the failure isn't reality, the failure is your indicator.

Rising poverty + rising savings rate -> rising net inequality QED
Thank goodness i switched to FireFox long time ago
But i still have to use chrome as it makes some Google applications slow on firefox which I hate
There are literally digital skimmers that do very similar attacks against checkout systems that utilize crypto currency.

The Lazarus group from North Korea actually did some of the earliest ones I saw, because they love themselves some bitcoin.
I'd assume they use 1000 distinct IPs because the system scaled to 1000 instances and presumably many of them came from related IPs. So it makes IP banning considerably harder, but not impossible.

This exact part of your comment is why big companies are fighting so hard to own and gatekeep web browsers.
Most of the GUI apps I use on macos update themselves using a framework like sparkle. Just uses an occasional (typically weekly) connection to check if an update is available and doesn’t need its own daemon.
Yep, the scripts that do so just replace the wallet you're going to send your bitcoin to with the attacker's wallet.
CentOS was never officially an "official free version". After Red Hat acquired CentOS, they positioned as a base for open source projects to develop on RHEL (which was what Red Hat needed and why they hired the developers in the first place).

Of course, users that just needed a free RHEL kept using it that way with the added bonus of corporate backing, so much that Scientific Linux said "screw it we'll just use CentOS".

Refutation by counterexample: I have Chrome, FF, and mpv running right now and my WindowServer process is averaging below 6% on a 2015 13" MBP.
The Mac App Store is for well behaving apps haha. For some definition of well behaving, anyways. This compromise is actually great -- the MAS is available to those who want to live in a cozy little walled garden of perfection. Those who are willing to compromise on security in exchange for apps that have free run of the system are welcome to do that also.

I thought all nudity is banned no matter what context but I suppose they don't recommend naked yoga videos since some people could get disturbed getting nudity recommended.

Btw does YouTube have recommendation filters where you can filter out certain content type or some kind of preferences option?
Hating Google is very fashionable on HN these days, I'm not surprised to see this so highly voted. I also wouldn't be surprised if most of the upvotes are based on the title/domain rather than the actual "content".
Have you used them? Are they reliable/stable/fast? Easy to configure?
Scale. Anonymity. Impunity. Rate. Effectiveness.
With cars, they all do one thing good: drive. The other features are just that: features. With Windows vs macOS vs Linux, you’re dealing with software incompatibility and having to find replacements.

That's a bit unfair, though I agree the story is not particularly well written.

To me, the ending question is interesting. I want to know what happens! I think the princess leads her lover to the tiger, after all her temper is barbaric and she also thinks she'll reunite with him in the afterlife. That bloodshed though...

It's also remarkable in that it apparently inspired the Monty Hall door challenge, which is of obvious interest to the HN crowd.
I think evidence of functional impact might be just as appropriate.

If removing keystone doesn’t harm the user, and may make the computer faster; why would anyone leave it at all?
There’s more to the Internet than web pages. Web browsers don’t even get the most runtime on my machine.
Well, fully funding developers is one option.

Rather than monetize the software, fund its creators. They, along with everyone else, get great use value out of the software and they are empowered to live, live, do, play, and generally be.
Because this sounded outlandish, I decided to have a look on my own system. Since the author didn't give any technical details, I grepped `~/Library` and `/Library` for files containing `keystone` in either name or contents. This yielded the following interesting candidates, along with similar entries for daemons etc:

~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.google.keystone.agent.plist
~/Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle/Contents/Resources/com.google.keystone.agent.plist

They all reference the same binary, `~/Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle/Contents/Resources/GoogleSoftwareUpdateAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/GoogleSoftwareUpdateAgent`, and frankly are wholly uninteresting configuration files to integrate with launchd and other stuff.

Looking through a full system trace in Instruments didn't yield anything interesting either (outside of discovering that I forgot to shut down one of my virtual machines).

All in all, this sounds like hot air, and I can't help but wonder what the motivation behind making this page was.
I think we need a visual shell. Git should literally show you a tree, then an animation of what's happening because there's a lot going on and I was shocked at my ignorance once I did see something.

Mac Finder is my goto a lot because it's just powerful to see the tree. Could we blend the command line there?

And finally - for expert users this is not a problem, for for medium users, the fact that many of the commands have different flags in different orders is a pain. A brand new set of integrated commands - where everything followed a predictable standard would be great.
he poses the idea of being earnest about something in a way that is disingenuous.

> Why can't there be people interested in self-driving cars or social networks for their own sake?

If you are interested in self-driving cars, but you are not interested in the effects that self-driving cars have on society, you are not actually interested in self-driving cars: you are interested in yourself. To be interested only in the problem-solving aspect of a domain is, first and foremost, to be interested in your own mastery. I am not saying that it is bad to be motivated by mastery: I am personally very motivated by mastery. It's what has kept my interest after a decade of programming professionally. I relate to being interested in a problem because it's an interesting puzzle.

But we should not pretend that being interested in the aspect of solving a problem is the most genuine manner of interacting with that problem (or the opposite: that caring about the side-effects of your work more than you care about the work itself is somehow lacking in earnesty). It is not. What you are building does not stop at the problem-solving phase. How the things you build affect the world is what you have done. If we set our ethical standard at "so long as I am interested in doing the building, I am being earnest", our efforts will forever be deployed by others, perhaps with effects that do not align with our values.
I spend many hours of each day ~programming~ wrangling text files and I use macos + zsh + textmate2 for my daily drivers. I see shell as an important proficiency because it helps maintain a lower-level understanding of how the "magical" GUI "works," which often helps in debugging obtuse errors, and I'm sad to encounter more engineers who are completely unfamiliar with it.

When it comes to examples like that posted by the OP, I like the combination of piping/pasting to mate and multi-caret editing for most scenarios where others would reach for awk/xargs.

Here's me following the same example scenario but with multi-caret editing (slowed down slightly):

https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/226503/101993951-6...

Step by step:

1. git status -s | mate
2. select " D" with arrow keys + shift
3. command-E macos default for "use selection to find"
4. option-command-F to find all (multi-caret editing starts)
5. type "git checkout" to replace " D"
6. command-left to move cursor to start of line, then shift-command-right to select to end of line.
7. copy
8. select all + delete (clear document)
9. paste,
10. press return to insert newlines
11. select all + copy
12. switch back to terminal
13. paste

To me, this is many small steps, but each step is more mechanical and flows naturally, and the general flexibility of multi-caret editing means it is applicable more often in my daily work.
Does anyone know a way to get Safari to show a preview of the url when you hover over a link?

I tried to switch recently since it's supposed to waste less battery but two things I found were a bad experience after Chrome:

- no decent ad blocker? the one I saw recommended was Ad Guard but that seems to require you to have an Electron app running simultaneously (!) in order for it to block anything

- in Chrome when I hover over a link I see the url in the bottom left 'status' area... I had no idea how much I like this until it wasn't there in Safari... it feels really weird to click on a link and not know where it goes to
>>> the trouble becomes on how you handle decompression+checksumming+compression

gzip will cap 1 MB/s with the strongest compression setting and 50 MB/s with the fastest setting, which is really slow.

The first step to improve kafka is for kafka to adopt zstd compression.

Another thing that really hurts is SSL. Desktop CPU with AES instructions can push 1 GB/s so it's not too bad, but that may not the the CPU you have or the default algorithm used by the software.

Ironically, I think your website isn't working properly with Firefox mobile?
The point of IDE is that there is almost 0 configuration. You get everything by just clicking "install". Y you can configure vim or emacs to be as expressive as IntelliJ. But the time it takes is much larger than 0. And when you switch to another language you'll probably need to repeat many steps.
The brightness of the site should be under user-agent control somehow anyway.

There are extensions (e.g. dark reader) that try to generically make websites dark using graphics filter and CSS tricks. This approach mostly works, but fails pretty badly in some cases. It'd be nice if this client side color adjustment were standardized and website makers testes their sites with it. This way, each person could make sites as dark as he wanted.
usually mostly classical but in an attempt to broaden my listening I've started listening to electronic music recently. I've found Gerald Donald very interesting. Drexciya, Dopplereffekt and all his other projects are cool and changed my mind about what the genre is like.
I think that in HN there is a high quality in the comments and a low quality in the voting of publications, because in the first, people refrain from commenting stupid things because it gets them harsh criticism, but in the second, people can vote for stupid (or low quality) publications because they will not be criticized.

And most of HN (and of social media, and the world in general) is dominated by dumb people.
> In the humanities it’s the point,

No, it really isn't, and virtually no one who earnestly engages with the thinkers in question would come away thinking that.
Then you can keep a Chromium-based browser like Brave around for some additional testing, even if it's not your daily driver.
On the other hand, looking at Raph's previous activities, I wouldn't be too surprised if all those other things you describe are just project management kung-fu to put him in a position where he just hast to continue to do research that advances the state of 2D rendering.
An engineer, or not, it is not what makes ones work cargo culting.

Not so few engineers have embraced the "big business" cargo cult as well.

One many things which completely offput me from "big tech" was seeing tech heads having to satisfy the earning for seeing people speak big, and mean little. A price for acceptance in that world of big business.

> I’m curious if that article takes into account color calibration?

It doesn't really matter because most displays aren't color-calibrated.
Thats a valid point if we're referring to relatively unknown browsers. But the main three browsers are all high profile enough that they all have significant eyes on them and are thoroughly tested.

Firefox may have a small market share, but exploits for Firefox may even have more value to some entities/governments, due to its use in Tor Browser.

To clear any confusion, all three are extremely secure in comparison to other types of products (which is why exploits are so expensive), however Chrome just edges ahead, due to its sandboxing, and rapid patch cycle.
Glad I wasn't the only one! I could probably shoehorn a cuda backend into repiet... but I don't even know where to start on generating optimized code from this horrible stack-based language.
I'm not sure I understand it from the description that I read, but I believe the Zodiac cipher to be a pretty simple transposition cipher applied to a simple substitution cipher containing complications due to garbage phrases inserted to fool statistical analysis.

Transposition ciphers alone simply scramble the order of their input (the plaintext). Substitution ciphers alone leave the characters in their original positions, but replace each plaintext character by a substitute character from the ciphertext alphabet.

In general, transposition ciphers are solved by using language frequencies and especially frequencies of letter tuples that appear in the text. For example, "t" is often followed by "h" and "q" is almost always followed by "u" and then a vowel. If a "t" is seen in the ciphertext of a transposition cipher, the cryptographer naturally looks for letters often on one side or the other of "t" and makes sample decipherment of the ciphertext based on the possibilities. Seeing a "q" often leads right away to a fruitful path to decrypting a simple transposition cipher.

There are countless transposition ciphers, and some are much more difficult to unravel. The Zodiac cipher appears to use a simple one, but some transposition ciphers can be very difficult to solve with short messages of under 1000 characters.

However, notice that the aforementioned techniques can't be used to solve the Zodiac transposition. The characters in the ciphertext are substitutes for the true characters appearing in the plaintext. This is an example of a substitution cipher. (The fact that the characters are little graphics is of no import and reveals the Zodiac author to be unaware of cryptographic principles.) This means that even if a "q" appears in the plaintext we can't directly use that fact to unravel the transposition step.

Furthermore, short substitution based ciphertexts are solved by looking at digram, trigram, and word frequencies when figuring out which ciphertext character corresponds to which plaintext character. A transposition cipher separates these digrams, trigrams and words; a transposition applied after even a simple substitution results in a code much harder to solve than a substitution or transposition alone.

Especially with the aid of computers, these ciphers can be attacked. I'm not aware of the details that the Zodiac cryptographers used. One way of proceeding would be to use properties of natural language letter frequencies. Low frequency letters tend to appear next to vowels, which are higher frequency. Using properties like this, we can detect when we may have found the inverse of the transposition step. Removing the transposition will leave a ciphertext that "looks" like an ordinary simple substitution cipher with low frequency symbols staying away from each other and touching certain high frequency symbols.

With the aid of statistics, we can reverse the transposition step. Perhaps there are a few dozen or even hundreds of possibilities that look statistically feasible for this step. These possibilities can then be attacked with powerful methods that solve simple substitutions.
I don't have a tendency to believe in misinformation, I have a strong rational way of assessing information.
I read recent changes in global politics like this:

Lets control the Internet, let us use it only for Digital ID,contact tracing, face recognition,IOT software and corporate approved messages, lets DRM every bit of entertainment a put an order in this chaos. If you don't agree with this, sorry you have no choice, we are the owners you are the slaves. This is the future. This is the big reset. You are polluting the Earth, here listen to this autistic kid, she is our mascot, because of the children. Don't ask about pedophilia in high levels of society, don't ask about covert operations and psyops, this is conspiracy, there are no such things, the powers that be always have your interest in heart.

This is the beginning of a very dark moment in human history, freedom of speech is not a relative idea. Factually freedom of speech is the reason for us to advance. Debating with clear intent to objective analysis is the way forward. This shit reminds me of dark ages of Inquisition, and actually is fascism and big corporatism in action. Do not expect people to applaud or comply. People will revolt. Just saying:)
We have a shell for builds.sr.ht over SSH:

https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/builds.sr.ht/tree/master/master-...

You can use it to, for example, do `ssh builds@builds.sr.ht submit < build.yml`

Expaning this to support secret management would be cool.
Great comment! Now I'll have to hunt down that story by Nabokov.
They do (I know them, and I have talked to them since Wednesday). That's not to say this was not a screwup, but I would say that rumors around the death of free RHEL rebuilds have been greatly exaggerated.
>>However, with CentOS being week and months behind RHEL right now, do you see that as a good thing? Do you like having an unpatched system for days or weeks at a time when an embargoed security fix hits RHEL and has to wait for CentOS to build and distribute? I don't. Security patches are top priority for me.

This is absolutely a False dilemma fallacy, there is absolutely nothing technically or legally prohibiting RedHat from releasing patches for both at the same time. Nothing. It is a sales/marketing or a internal process choice to do it that way.

Changes to do this process, even moving CentOS to be ahead of RHEL is not the problem. The "rolling release" or non-release, or what every model they are calling it now with CentOS Stream is the problem. The fact that it will no longer be Binary Complete with RHEL is the problem, the fact that CentOS will be used as a "beta" (and spare me the marketing BS claiming it is not that) is the problem

> Would you have described RHEL this way?

RHEL is a targeted, Released Enterprise Operating system with a 10 year support cycle

CentOS was a targeted, Released Enterprise Operating system with a 10 year support cycle

CentOS Stream is not a targeted, released Enterprise operating system with 10 year support cycle. CentOS Stream is pseudo-rolling release with no point releases, used to build a targeted, released enterprise operating system.
I don’t know about the author’s claims, but I find Google Chrome unusable on my Ubuntu laptop. Whenever it’s running, my fan is blasting. If I clear the Chrome cache, this fixes it for a while, but it’s not long before it starts exercising the CPU again.
It is always worth to write an email to info@rsync.net to work out an acceptable offer. I did it and got a relatively good offer. I have now 2 TB at rsync.net.

rsync.net is not cheap but you have to know what you get: ZFS with great redundancy and a great support. All you have to do is using the service. You don't have to worry about maintenance.
>Cracking down on anti-election rhetoric is an obvious net positive, and needs no further explanation.

Yes, it does. Cracking down on speech would further enrage all those people, while also pissing off a great deal more. I think riots are a more likely outcome of your solution than anything positive.
That seems to be a bizarre conclusion, since churches are very often tax advantaged.

If these authors are able to write grant proposals and get funding, then clearly someone thinks they are producing something of value. You cannot see the value, so you declare there must not be any?
People regularly getting stabbed in trains doesn't feel like a technological problem.

Seems like there are two attractors in the mass transit space:

Attractor 1: The mass transit is safe and clean. Everyone uses it, because it is convenient. Because everyone uses it, people care about keeping it safe, clean, and convenient.

Attractor 2: The mass transit is dirty and dangerous. Only poor people use it, because they have no other choice; all middle-class people use cars. Because no one important uses mass transit, no one really cares about making it less dirty and less dangerous.

From what I heard, the former attractor seems more frequent in Europe, the latter in USA.

There are also other things involved in the attractors, such as width of roads, sizes of blocks, whether sidewalks exist or not, etc. These would be even more resistant to change.
Nice idea and cool how you made it into a product. Could you provide us with a tad more technical specs? Since the website is down and it isn't archived yet would be good to see some of that tech specs here.
