Show HN: A quick collaboration with a colleague this morning
I've asked Steam support to remove a purchased game from my list once. Not refund, just remove it so I don't ever see it again.

It was some ubisoft title that i bought, forgot 6 months about it, then started up and found out it requires UPlay. I have the same opinion about Origin.
Is it really a problem though? Was there a lack of content in the times before the commercial Internet (or the Internet itself really.. in the time of BBSes)?

And there are things like Patreon as well..
XSS doesn't involve someone compromising an online store's systems or adding code to pages through normal administrative functions.

XSS mainly takes two forms:

Non-persisted / reflected is the most common: An example of this: A webpage has a vulnerable URL parameter that doesn't sanitize the data. ex: http://example.com/?username=<data>

Instead of removing HTML/etc from that username parameter, it just writes it to the page, so I can then send you a malicious link for a site that you're familiar with and get the code to execute in your browser.

Stored/Persistent: Example: a social media site. If it didn't properly sanitize your posts, you could store malicious code as part of one of your posts and then anyone who saw that post would execute your code. Now, if you were clever, you would then make a post using their account and have it propagate your XSS and now you've created an XSS worm.
Every now and then I stumble onto a term that so perfectly describes an aspect of life that I don't know how I ever lived without it. In this case, it's "Type I fun" and "Type II fun":

You're talking about Type II fun and I 100% agree.
What you describe sounds alot like YouTube. 12 years ago, some friends of mine were doing their entire home music playback with a playlist of stolen music uploads. I'd even go as far and claim that YT Music wouldn't exist if people were not trained that YouTube has all the music content they are looking for.

And then there are channels like "Netzkino" who have around a million subscribers and a few thousand full movies online. The claim is all that content is supposedly legal. Well, maybe. But it doesn't look like it...
Excellent discussion. Thank you!
I spent my time from age 32-37 exercising outdoors year round regardless of the temperature (in that area, down to 25F for January/February). My body quickly adapted to the colder weather as the seasons changed, and my only change in attire was to go from a short sleeve t-shirt to a long sleeve t-shirt. This year, I've spent almost no time outside since the summer (injury ended my running for a bit) and the winter temperatures are cutting through me (also it's colder here than my previous home, but not so cold as to fully explain the change in my comfort with it). When I wasn't exercising, I found that light (but long sleeve/long pants) clothing was sufficient nearly any time I was outdoors in the winter, even when traveling to much colder places (like the mountains for my friends' annual ski trip).

Being indoors in consistent temperatures eats away (or does for me) our ability to adapt to temperature changes. I'm planning to start doing some walks to try and get myself adapted better to these temperatures, and next year plan to spend more time outdoors through the fall (in particular) so that my body properly adapts to the next winter.
I think process node is overrated here. If the only thing that Intel was struggling with was process nodes and the rest of their designs were amazing, Apple would have probably stayed with them and encouraged them to outsource their chip fab work.

Apple is getting performance that matches the best of Intel has while beating the power draw of basically all they have.

And it's not just the CPU. The built in GPU of the MBA is surprisingly powerful, and the neural engine is beyond what Intel has.

Yes, Intel needs to get their chip fab back on track, but I also think they have issues with their chip designs (and perhaps something larger with x86).

I'm not in the group of people who would not accept I'm being manipulated. I believe that I'm constantly being manipulated by the media, anyway. If a ~100 character Facebook ad can change my political position, then maybe it is for the better?
Maybe. I'd bet a number of attacks attributed to nation states are actually just talented amateurs. There's a lot of smart people out there.
This is a great email forwarding service, thank you and congratz!!!
Agreed! Even dreamier if they bring back the magsafe and upgrade to the current keyboard with function keys.
I sit here with 24GB memory usage just from my browser, a couple PDFs and two IDEs (Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code).
The X1 Carbon, which is what I assume you're referring to with Thinkpad, is 2.6Lbs vs 2.8Lbs for the 2020 Macbook Air.

That's 90g of difference ... I'd say that qualifies for Ultralight still.
Electron apps or worse.
Yes, I'd really like to see a large c++ project compile added to that list of benchmarks.

Is this the smell of urine, or something they applied to cover up smells of human waste?
That's because both left and right are corralled by professional Democrats and Republicans, who's primary job is to keep their constituents believing that all the tyranny is being caused by the other team. Ergo, they both claim ownership over anti-authoritarian quotes.

(2020 nuance: although one of these parties at least didn't balk at the pandemic)
It is hit piece in the sense, it focused a lot on PornHub while arguably the other players are worse in terms of the standards the article stated this as well.

Was it well deserved ? Certainly, they could have been doing more lot earlier. However there are lot worse players and the focus has been a lot more on Pornhub rather than industry in general.

Self regulation by Pornhub is good step forward, but a model which enables only change from one player after pressure from the payment providers is not reliable model. There has to be regulatory change to really protect the victims.
I don't get why they didn't keep the macbook branding. It's really weird that my 2016 macbook is so noticeably lighter than the current air.
My understanding is YouTube technically doesn't deal with many DMCA take downs. Their reporting system is technically a voluntary system in front of DMCA.

Large IP holders are happy to use it because it heavily favors them. Large IP holders also don't have to worry about repercussions for false or incorrect DMCA claims.
> I thought this was a cleverly veiled joke.

It absolutely is. Apple has been doing these for years, it's their style.
> Sure CP is very, very bad

I disagree.

If it's evidently legal for a man to view recordings of sports accidents, mass shootings, and the commission of whatever other crime, out of naught but sadistic pleasure or shock value, then I see no problem with it being legal for a man to watch child pornography.

If it were up to me, the same standard for all those other recordings would be employed.
You can actually quantify the specific impact that loss of shoreline has on tourism, fishing etc.
You can look at Apple's mobile CPU performance gains over the past 10 years for an idea of what the current trajectory is.

There is likely to be a couple more big performance jumps similar to this when Apple releases versions of this with more cores.
Of course there are workarounds, but that's not the point. First of all, your solution requires macros and the problems that come with that, but also, you now require programmers to remember to use your macro instead of just declaring the instance.

The problem I'm describing is less about the effort of adding a variable name -- that's really not a big deal -- its that its super error prone to remember and these bugs slip through all the time. Requiring a variable name (either explicitly or through a macro like yours) is error prone.
Most of what I'm aware of in terms of banking/CC regulations is oriented around consumer protection (without which you don't have acceptance of the system). What are the regulations which have reinforced the duopoly? (honest question)
I remember when the "tableless" concept first appeared a long long time ago and one of the main arguments in favor of implementing it was to prevent the page rearranging itself as it loaded. Look at where we are now...
Its been a while since those times.

I remember Dattebayo fansubs, one of those torrent fansub groups you're talking about. I remember when they shutdown and announced support for Crunchyroll, suggesting that legitimate paid streaming was the future for anyone who actually wanted to support the anime subtitle community.

Perhaps I wasn't remembering the full politics of mid 00s subtitle culture... its been a very long time since then. But for Dattebayo at least, they were quite clear on throwing their support behind Crunchyroll, to the point where it was rumored that Dattebayo was probably working with Crunchyroll. (Though I'm not sure if that was ever confirmed)

With hundreds of thousands of torrent hits per week, Dattebayo fansubs probably was one of the largest torrent fansubbers of that time. I tried to search for a history of those groups, but alas, it seems lost to time. I just got my personal memories to guide me.

---------

You're right in that those early fansubber / torrent / IRC groups were all separate groups with different politics. But from my perspective, the big groups (ie: Dattebayo) were definitely all in on supporting Crunchyroll.
Seconded. I miss technical conversations with colleagues, and while I have my ex-colleagues chat, nothing really replaces the Slack with other engineers at your company.
Looks like a single contributor. IMO, Git only wins over SVN when used in a collab environment.
No, source IP address country is never the basis for attribution, and contrarian lay people always assume that’s how it works for some reason. It isn’t, at all.
It's a scripting language for the kernel (well, a language VM). There's something like 2500 different tracepoints you can attach scripts to, in addition all of network I/O. The programs you load with eBPF are very unlikely to disrupt the system, because of the limitations of the eBPF verifier.

Other people are talking about observability stuff, but for comparison, we build features on it: https://fly.io/blog/bpf-xdp-packet-filters-and-udp/
"I wouldn't say that behavior is unhealthy unless it brings you to downright ignore your job/school/responsibilities."

What if you could have done something more productive or rewarding with your life instead, like developed new friendships or deepened existing ones, learned new skills, or read something that opened your eyes or changed your life?

I've probably gamed as much as anyone here, and I deeply regret wasting so much time on it. Though it wasn't a complete waste of time, as it did help me to learn to manage complex systems (I like complex games) and to anticipate and prepare (I like RPG's and chess), and it also helped me to destress, there was also a compulsive quality to my gaming where the ultimate payoff wasn't all that great compared to the many thousands of hours I put in to it.
I think they're more light than ultralight. Otherwise the performance stands.

Our kitchen remodel put a can above every 4-ish feet of counter space and it works well for us. Sloped ceiling with most of the cans about 9-10' off the floor. YMMV.
>The SR-71 used a different jet fuel than normal, special engines, and likely required a lot of maintenance.

The bigger issue is refueling, which required an entire fleet of separate, dedicated tankers, so that fuel wasn't accidently mixed with the regular jet fuel.

The special fuel was some sort of coal slurry, and would immediately do pretty bad things to normal jets. Additionally, the tankers needed special, segregated tanks that didn't to their own fuel supply.

There was also a radioactive additive that could be used to reduce the radar cross section of the exhaust plume, although it's not clear if it was ever used. This supposedly would have been much more of a maintenance issue for engine wear and maintenance.
Aborting male kids born to ugly parents would be an interesting idea. Women are guaranteed to reproduce, men are not. If you are going to have a son, and you know he's not going to be the most handsome guy, don't have a son. Otherwise you're a trash human being pushing a lifetime of suffering on another human due to no fault of his own. Just your selfish pleasure causing pain to another human.

Either be ultra wealthy or be a handsom man with a pretty woman if you want a son who wont be disadvantaged in the modern world.
And a very quick google search confirmed what I suspected: she works for a christian organization.

I thought that we had effectively neutered the religious right.
I would say your opportunity cost is higher w the Mac but really I would just want 2 laptops in 3 years
Seconded. It may not be the content you want, depending on what you're looking for, but there is a lot of great, informative content on that sub.

I was a little disappointed with this article. Didn't really have too much of substance, but I love the concept of it.

Personal anecdote, being a Polish-American, I've experienced the vast difference in smell landscape the article talks about. For whatever the reason, Polish culture loves flowers. You look up Polish artwork, folk dress, whatever, flowers, EVERYWHERE. Man, woman, doesn't matter. Flowers. The god damn lace curtains aren't curtains without flowers. Houses needed actual flowers too... or it's not a house. Same with Christmas. Americans are fine with fake trees. Every Pole and Polish-American I know and have known, a fake tree is a step towards Satanism. It's just... no. Christmas isn't Christmas without the smell of a tree. That and our cooking methods are vastly different from standard American foods. More earthy smells due to root veg and mushroom dishes. That gets ingrained into the walls.

I'm going to assume this was due to the prevalence of horse shit and dumping human shit outside so much back in the hay-day. Which does make sense since in the medieval era there was a large time period of thought that disease was carried by fowl smelling scents. By that logic, they would try making homes smell as nice as possible... plus horse shit stinks. That's good enough reason alone.

So all of this is so ingrained in me, American homes aren't homes without some sort of earthy smell to them. The plastic, corporate smell is your normal US home (not all, plenty do like having plants inside... just not enough people do this) with their fake candles and air fresheners. It's an "empty" smell is the best I've ever been able to describe it. While a house with actual flowers or plants gives it a "fuller" or "lived in" smell. Obviously this is all due to personal experience and how I was raised, but I can't stand buildings that don't have a few plants growing inside of it. I swear I can instantly tell, without seeing it, that there's a plant inside of a house. Even if it's not fragrant. Personally the whole "spices" thing is... eh. Nothing wrong with the smells, just they get annoying or boring after a while. Seems like that's more of a Western Europe thing.

Anyways, I learned my mood is loosely tied to the long term smells I'm around. I get a bit... agitated? More annoyed I think is the better term, when around the fake, empty smells. Outside or in a building with plants growing in it, I'm fine or just never really noticed. How much that's just me being crazy, I don't know. Like I said, anecdote.
None of AirBnb listings were likely illegal in the early days, because what they were doing was not regulated.

Also, I’d say there’s a big difference between the homeowner choosing to list their home against a city regulation that the homeowner is choosing to violate, versus users uploading content that they don’t own in the first place.

Even a tenant who is AirBnb’ing their unit against their lease terms is at least listing their own unit / choosing to violate an agreement that they themselves have signed.

AirBnb to me is unique in that their regulations came afterward to combat the monumental rise of short term rentals, whereas Section 230 / DMCA regulations are what enabled the other sites to ultimately growth hack on the back of infringement.
Why do you miss it? Don't you own any books? Or do you live somewhere where libraries are closed because of an overreaction to COVID?

Did it make sense to out Jim Kolbe after he sold out the LGBTQ community in congress? Or Ted Haggard who was using his power to hurt the community? We can came other political and public figures where outing was stopping the damage. The moment you sell the community out, your right to the closet is compromised.

OTOH, did it help anyone that Rock Hudson was outed? (Maybe?) Did it help anyone that Cook was outed? Probably not.
I think people who have a healthy relationship with games agree with you, but for me, the obsessive grinding only made the games less challenging/fun, with no reward except larger numbers on the menus-- like if the reward for the Marshmallow test was just that you got to look at a bitmap of a pixelated marshmallow on tv.

Videogames are not all bad, and of course there are many healthy and successful people who enjoy them and appreciate them as works of art. But for me personally, I regret that I spent so much time doing busywork for an unpaid job that I didn't even enjoy.
1. The customer can choose sign in with Apple or not. There is no choice with a mandatory FB login.

2. Customers prefer sign in with Apple. If you go on the Oculus subreddit you find nothing other than complains about the Facebook login.
> . . . like going to a restaurant, getting massive food poisoning, almost dying, ending up with a $150,000 hospital bill and then the restaurant emails you with "Dear valued customer, we're sorry for the inconvenience and have decided to award you a $50 gift card for any of our restaurants, thanks!".

It's even slightly worse than that. SLAs generally refund you for the prorated portion of your monthly fee the service was out, so it's more like "here's a gift card for the exact value of the single dish we've determined caused your food poisoning." Hehe.
Not necessarily mobile, 4750G is an 8-core desktop APU (especially famous in the overclocking crowd for having the best DDR4 memory controller ever, thanks to being a monolithic TSMC 7nm die).
YouTube is actively taking that content down. Oftentimes overly zealously.

The case with pornhub was exactly the opposite.
Are there many looking for a better serverless solution? How about Stateful Serverless?
Yeah, people assume that LGBTQ people can't be nasty for some reason. I heard him talk about his reasoning, and I believe he's sincere. Basically, he felt that being closeted was an insult to gay men and sets the community back.

Just because someone is a minority from a oppressed demographic, doesn't mean they'll be kind and sensitive, in all social matters. Sometimes black people are racist and gay people are assholes.
Horse manure is pleasant in comparison to any of what a city would have smelled like.

I grew up in rural Ontario and the eminent smell of horse manure is a surefire sign that spring has sprung. It smells like home!
Doing nothing also isn't much of a solution, though. Even aside from the personal suffering involved, historically, large populations of disaffected men tend to burn themselves off in either war or revolution, which are great for nobody.

A serious revision of gender roles is the only not-wildly-dystopian fix I can think of, but that's just kicking the can down the road to the question of how and to what do we perform that revision.
That's a good point. I would think that even if the owner of the loans is a third party, the income documentation would probably still flow through Lambda. So if a student refused to provide income information to Lambda based on the claim that the program fundamentally changed mid-stream, then presumably Lambda would have to be the one to sue them (not the owner of the loan).
WRC is a GREAT rally game. Check it out.
I think it's that most rented accommodation in areas desirable for people like software developers or foreigners new to the city is as you describe.

Further out, or in less trendy areas, there may well be a different mix of old/new council/private-built buildings. I lived in a wonderful 1930s apartment block (good double glazing, shared building heating system etc) and a decent 1970s council-built house.

I also lived in a crappy 1960s council flat (single glazed aluminium framed windows) and an 1900-ish house-illegally-turned-into-flats (single glazed, wooden sash windows).
Wow how did you get it that cheap?

At that price I wouldn’t worry about it becoming obsolete I would just wait 2-3 years for either another round of Mac updates or a Thinkpad with more modern chip
The M1 already has the widest CPU design of anything out there. It's possible that Apple will still be able to scale up even wider, but that wouldn't be a necessarily "safe" bet. There's nothing obviously on the table for a big uptick in IPC. Apples got a great trajectory and great engineers, of course, but there's nothing here where you can point to an existing thing and be like "now as soon as they add that, too, wow!"

It's "only" running at a peak of around 3.2ghz, though, so there's a lot of clear theoretical headroom on that front. But whether or not things like their cache or other subsystems can handle higher frequencies is unknown. But clocking up to ~4.5ghz turbo would be a potentially large gain - at the cost of also a huge uptick in power consumption, though, so Apple may just decline to go that route entirely, at least on their mobile CPUs.
"I assure you that somebody does need to manage it"

You can always tell who has had to live with non-trivial serverless systems in Prod and who is just parroting the marketing copy.

It’s a focus and vertical integration thing. Is the market big enough to justify the increased costs of SW and HW development (not just direct incremental cost but also indirect costs like more support staff, office space, etc). Then are the developments you make to support that market transferable in some way. Are there techniques you prototype in the more expensive/less power-constrained space that help your other markets in the long term?

Im sure Apple could produce something in the HPC space. The question is whether it makes financial and/or strategic sense to compete there.
Even if some people actually like the new design it is bloated and dog slow even on modern computers.
Yep.

It's a bit of tit for tat though. It's AMD's desktop CPUs versus Apple's new mobile CPU. But the benchmarks in question don't leverage all of AMDs cores.

Over the next couple years things should have more clarity when AMD moves to TSMC's 5nm CPUs and Apple releases their higher core CPUs.
Have you ever experienced Humid -40C air? It doesn't happen.

I've had very humid -25C air in Alaska, and wearing literally everything I own (which is perfect at -48C), I was freezing cold for the entire day, even when running, snowboarding, jumping up and down and beating my chest.
