It's not slow for me. Maybe you have something else running that's interfering with WSL (Defender, etc.)?

I've been using the VcXsrv set up for years (in WSL 1 and now WSL 2). It runs native GUI Linux apps really well. It's how I ran Sublime Text in WSL for a long time before I eventually switched to a different editor. I even ran i3 in it for a bit but gave up on that because it didn't work well with dual monitors. It was smooth as butter tho.
I've been using Plausible for https://www.nslookup.io for about a month now. I can definitely recommend it over Google Analytics. Simpler, more intuitive and privacy first.

However, at some point I'd like to monetize this site. I know there's https://www.ethicalads.io/, but they've limited their target audience to developers. Are there any privacy focused ad networks?
I think this comment is right and it's too bad it's being voted down. "Tsundoku" just refers to accumulating unread books and it does seem weird that it's presented as an "art" in English just because it relates to Japan.
TL;DR: Because the Postgres folks have outstanding taste, even better documentation, a good community, and a compatible license.

Which are all the same reasons that it's my goto database.

I don't build software anymore, but the last project I worked on for money was a query engine, and the project founders were pretty open about the fact that whenever they were unclear about the behavior required by the SQL spec, they looked at the PostgreSQL docs and behavior to get pointed in the right direction.
That is not a wise attitude towards information security and vulnerabilities, and in many ways unacceptable. No security is stronger than it's weakest link...
C is the one language I think I can understand well enough to read, until I look at real code or see people complain about it.
It’s hard to commodify resolution of the last-mile issues which create a large portion of the cost of providing universal Internet access. E.g. there’s no technology for mass-producing local roadworks.
In the modern world, isn't that true for any activity you want to do a lot? Children or not?
Quite. It's the silliest of silly ideas - not just practically, but conceptually, because real problems don't have hard algorithmic edges. Which is why they're so hard.

Don't forget there's a difference between a formal (user) specification and a functional specification.

A functional specification says that when you select "Edit -> Cut" the user can expect certain things to happen. A formal specification defines how the symbolic entities involved in implementing the operation should operate.

This isn't too hard for "Edit -> Cut", but it's not tractable at all for "Translate this poetry into another language without mistakes or ambiguities."

So in fact he's just as guilty of resorting to metaphor as anyone else in computing. Only in this case the metaphor is the algorithmic perfection and consistency of a mathematical proof.

This is fine in the classroom and in certain applications where formal methods can help, but not so much in the average developer room.

It also highlights that ultimately computers aren't about manipulating symbols, but about manipulating conceptual metaphors represented by symbol sets.

But I expect he'd have dismissed that idea as too dangerously novel.
Strange that with all the data about all the preferences in the world, the solution to their problem was to buy a newspaper ad because FB believes that the coalition they need to influence can still be reached directly that way.
Also used to track submerged submarines by detecting ocean surface disturbances caused by the underwater wake of the submarine. Same benefits: works at night and through cloud cover.
All significant open source development today is done by folks who are not "scratching an itch" but cashing a paycheck, and the projects they release are things that would not have made them money anyway. The actual valuable stuff the trillion-dollar companies of today do is still overwhelmingly closed because secrecy is still a better way to engineer products that sell.
I think a big factor you're missing here is that many of the regulations in Europe are around the public's (and workers) rights, health and wellbeing.

For example it's difficult to create a startup in France because it's very difficult to discipline or fire anyone, and tech workers are used to clocking off at 5pm and having 35+ holiday days per year.

This means that no one's creating these epic billion dollar companies in a hurry, but at the same time the populous is defended, healthy, and not overworked. As opposed to the US where often a company's rise comes at the cost of a wealth of underpaid and mistreated workers (Amazon, Uber, we could go on).

To use an intentionally extreme analogy, your argument feels like sitting around watching the US build lovely tall pyramids with slave labour, saying that Europe's regulations get in the way of it building such tall pyramids. Well, yes, of course, the US is better, if all you're measuring is the height of the pyramids. (nevermind that the US is the easily the biggest user of slave (penal) labour outside of China)

It seems like US workers and the US public lose out on almost every other measurement.

There is an aphorism that captures this: once you announce it, it is no longer altruism.
Maybe its a clever tactic to reduce usage at companies that are controlled by non-technical people that are more worried about the name than the technology. Probably has a notable effect on the number of demanding/misinformed issues that they have to deal with ;)
Right the heavy stuff falls pretty quickly. The light particles will take quite a long time, and in the meantime, you're potentially breathing all that. I use a large cyclone for the machinery, a filter-on-a-fan, and a mask. My shop is a lot cleaner than it used to be, and I'm sure my lungs are too.
I understand the motive to let readers get up and running quick, getting some graphical window instead of terminal black box, but if you think users want to avoid terminals and get to graphics, why spend a chunk of the article talking about it? Just when readers starting to like the terminal and the culture, the author goes "anyway, terminal sucks, let's get a graphic window! here's 100 lines of code you'll never understand"

I don't understand the bloat of introdocing gtk, meson and ninja, more deps means more code, more code means more bugs, more steps and more difficult to compile, I'm sure a lot of people will fail to compile this, which is very frustration for beginners who're not familiar with error messages. You might think meson and ninja makes it easy for building, but that's wrong, that might be true for engineers who build 1000 times a day, not for one off beginner situations like this. Abstractions is for people who understand why the abstraction is needed.

Kidding aside, this is the real reason I only trust images from official vendor accounts.
I'm just wondering if there is a strong mathematical link between the two. Like flipping the sign somewhere in the description of the geometry of the Wankel engine results in this.

I did some crude geometric measurement on the geometry based on the video and the chamber doesn't seem to have the shape of an Wankel rotor inverted with respect to a circle.

there has been some collaboration between the two, however MS collaborates with other small companies and that speculation never arises. I wouldn't set a bet that they're uninterested in Canonical, but the desire to buy it has always been overstretched, it is much bigger chance that they buy some other specialized distro vendor instead (like Google buying Neverware). Ubuntu is too generic in that sense.
It's a postmortem of a failure in a complicated system, and those are almost always interesting to read.

That is one of the better articles I have read on Google’s ethical missteps (that are probably correct from hard-nosed business optimization).

We need government action to apply reasonable guardrails on the actions of the largest tech companies, a clear legal structure that puts society first and still allows growth and profits. I am a member of the Libertarian Party (recent, basically my disgust with the DNC and RNC), and I feel a bit like a hypocrite for taking a non-Libertarian view of the current situation with Google and Facebook.
You'll want to make sure clipboard sharing is enabled too. This way you can share clipboard data from WSL and Windows.

My VcXsrv config is public on GitHub at: https://github.com/nickjj/dotfiles/blob/master/c/Users/Nick/...

Putting it in that directory sets VcXsrc to start when Windows boots up. You would just replace "Nick" with your Windows user name and put it in that path. Then you never have to worry about starting VcXsrv ever again.

Also if anyone is using both WSL 2 and WSL 1, you need to set different values for DISPLAY depending on which version you use.

My .bashrc handles this at: https://github.com/nickjj/dotfiles/blob/385007837ab787a2be2e...
Apart from that, i have flagged this post. That topic is not really news worthy for HN. While it's funny its probably born out of corona lockdown boredness and some specific german gamer humour in light of some more serious bugs in cyberpunk.
Supply chain management is the new hotness.
No shit, a mechanism to bake pinned shared libs into a static archive to counter version dependencies on Ubuntu/Debian vs RedHat Linuxen grows stale, fossilized images? Who would've thought!

As much as I love Docker for development, going all-in on containers for prod was a huge mistake. Which is becoming clearer now that RedHat pulls free CentOS images, after taking the so-called Linux community further and further away from POSIX and other portability means with systemd, namespaces, oci, and whatnot.
Maybe I did something wrong, but for me getting a local X-server running, with X-forwarding from WSL1 was dead easy and something I used on a day to day basis.

Getting the same working with WSL2 was a pain in the ass, and I eventually gave up.

So if you like X-forwarding... I personally would recommend sticking to WSL1, unless that gives you other issues.
When a universal link opens an application, there should be a link in the top right of the screen to open it in Safari. If I remember correctly, when you choose this option, iOS will save your preference and stay in Safari instead of opening in that particular application in the future.
I don't know. I was just a front of house, not a shift lead.

My understanding of what happened is that the till was counted as off, and then it was confirmed that it was them through the cameras.

There are anywhere from 2 - ~6 people who can open the till in the store at any time at that location, thus the need for the cameras.

Edit: Obviously not the best OpSec, but that was the workflow at that point, and hiring enough staff to make that not the case was non-feasible.

I'd recommend An Introduction to C & GUI Programming by Simon Long[0] instead. It's much more beginner friendly and is very well written. Doesn't go super in depth but it's a quick intro book so it shouldn't. Plus it's a book and it's cheap/free;

See You Later, Pitches
Who else is sick and tired of pitches and outreach??

I'm getting sick and tired of making pitches and having to outreach to get my content seen and linked to.

That was my frustration about 2 years ago, which is why I started on the creation of the world's first contextually relevant link building tool that manages to break down link prospecting, outreach and link management down to the click of a button. Now we are a team of 7 people (9 as of January 4) and have undergone our first successful pre-seed.

I have been asking myself for a while now if the archaic way of looking at link building in SEO still holds value in today’s context. While we think that DA is important and has its place in link building strategy, the real goldmine lies in relevance. A site with strong DA but irrelevant results can’t go far on just domain authority alone. Just Google "SEO word count" and see how we beat SEJ, Yoast etc. The secret here is "CONTEXTUAL RELEVANCE" and this can be yours as well.

"The Tabtimize platform was born out of the need to simplify the dreaded link building process — one of the most challenging aspects of SEO and digital marketing. Our vision was to create an all-inclusive platform that would make the process smarter, more sustainable, and easy enough to make link building a pleasant experience!

Our mission depended on the ability to create a way to find contextually relevant link opportunities and a metric that could actually quantify relevance, something that hadn’t been possible until now. "

Best of all comes here:

It is free to sign up and there is a free user plan which enables you to build contextually relevant links completely free of charge.

If you have a website and would like the opportunity to eradicate spam by applying relevancy to your websites, you can sign up for the waiting list and get 3 months free use of paid plan:

Linux namespaces are quite flexible and aren't used just for docker style containerization. In some use cases having a shared user namespace makes sense.

Docker just doesn't use the provided interface by default.
Which is a shame because a lot of users don't bother or don't know they should bother to configure it.

I think that's kind of a 'we don't care about security' move by docker and given its userbase that's a real problem.
I now collect "sample chapters" on my Kindle, rather than buying new books. Highly recommend that approach - in my case most of the time I don't want to continue after reading the sample, so I move on to another one.

He's not joking either. I did contracting work for hospitals, upgrading their infrastructure. Strictly backend network stuff -- routers, switches -- but got to sit in on all of the IT meetings.

Oracle asked them for license count and a core count of their environment. Newer IT guy sent them all of that info, asked for pricing for upgrades to a few newer Dell systems.

Oracle thought they were only using about 3/4 of the machines / cores / licenses they were billing them for, and promptly demanded the hospital group pay for the rest of their usage, as far back as they could prove. Lawyers got involved fast.

My work finished before it was resolved so I never got an exact answer but IIRC they paid something extra to Oracle.
The problem is adding ONLY the exact files needed is currently impossible when building docker containers. If you are building go/rust executables this easy, you will get one executable you'll add. But if you need to pull in some dependency by a package manager you are lost, they will pull in so many dependencies you may not need but are not defined optional by the packages. A small container is really impossible.

Because evolutions are random genetic mutations, so don't affect an entire species at once. Also environmental pressures play a part in shaping evolution. So, for example, apes under one set of circumstances might have to survive in a more demanding environment than apes under another. Thus [over aeons] that particular group might self-select for individuals with more dexterity / better problem-solving abilities, etc.

"Build it and they will come" is, as you know, not true. Unfortunately, you have to share whatever it is you are selling with people who might be able to buy it. It's the way of the world, and I don't see anything changing soon.
Agree with DennisP but will add some more:

Since the Bible has already been mentioned, here is one key word to (mostly) put to rest this idea from a Christian perspective:

"But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. " James 2.18.

I think from this (and the context) we can conclude that the Bible is very much in favour of putting in the actual work.

That said, a concept that I was introduced to when I was younger is that of "dead works", a concept that is harder to explain in a technical text only forum, but which sounds very much like what you describe based on the explanations I received: "how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?" Hebrews 9.14.

Shortly summarized as far as I remember and understand "dead works" was explained to me as things you will do just because you feel you "have to" to please your conscience, not because of a drive inside you to do what is good and right.

I think it shouldn't be understated the significance of this. It is extremely rare for a constitutional monarch to so publicly undermine the democratically elected government. The Danish Queen and Norwegian King made speeches this Spring, where they were very careful to not undermine the government's strategy, but rather emphasis the significance of the pandemic.

Additionally, in Sweden, it is has become pretty recognisable by all that the Swedish approach has failed, but no one is willing to take the blame. The King effectively cuts through all this, and says the blame lies squarely with Prime Minister Stefan Löfven.

In political terms, I wonder how long Löfven's government will last.
