I've been using DomainTools's monitoring service [1] for years. I wouldn't trust GoDaddy with anything domain-related either.

I think the Fossil system, built on SQLite and its powerful query system, is a superior architecture.

"Unix philosophy" has always been in the eye of the beholder. I think Perl showed the 1980s Unix philosophy of "small programs, working together", was often overly cumbersome.
This talk is what persuaded me to choose Elixir for our MMO game server. Best technical decision I’ve ever made. Saša Jurić’s book on Elixir is also great (although not strictly necessary considering how amazing the official Elixir intro tutorials are).
Hi! Your first paragraph exactly describes my life now. I couldn’t write it any better. It resonated so much, I had to create this throwaway account (my account is essentially my real name, I am a bit uncomfortable discussing mental health on a public space in non-anonymous form).

How do you exit from this state?

I would be so, so grateful if you could answer (if you know the answer) here or at isitdopamine on Gmail.

Psychotherapy doesn’t help much, even though I plan on allowing more time for it, I know it takes time!
In my mind totalitarianism is a means to an end. The end with these "tools" now is to limit death, but the means aren't working well (in the west, anyways). In a traditional auth. situation, the end is usually perpetual power and/or some ideological bend (genocide or something).

Anyways, what I'm trying to say is that I don't think we're in a traditional auth. situation now. It's a classic "never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity" in my mind.

Sure we're seeing some signs of government overreach, but the impetus is to save lives, not some consipriacy to control the masses. Doing so misses the mark and distracts from the real issue at hand.
Millions of kWh. Aka, many GWh. Why call it the former instead of the latter?
> In this day and age, a device or OS that is merely 8 years old should be able to function!

There's no need to worry about this. If the scheme in the OP works, then the same trick can be used indefinitely until such time as the Android versions in question become completely marginal, be it 4, 40, or 400 years from now.
While I quite enjoyed the tale of how several small memory safety bugs came together to create interesting outcomes, I was a little disappointed there was very little Rust content in a closing keynote of a Rust conference.

Any more recent developments on this front?
All these containerization "solutions" are just the fever symptoms of the future shock from the extremely rapid rate of features and improvement in the underlying libraries (glibc, c++?, etc) used by programmers, and the programmer's tendency to use those fancy new features asap. It makes compiling, or even running, something written today on the dev environment of a 5 year old linux distro pretty darn difficult and worse with time.

They are a terrible idea for the desktop or academia. They're fine for server environments.
Not to forget the vesting schedules (initial grant, % by year)

UAC (User Account Control) is some of the best thing Microsoft ever did for their security (and it might have inspired android permission system), probably following the Unix. I feel my naivete of complaining at the time I had to click a security prompt.

It's still sorely missing fine-grained control like network access (perhaps even fine-grained network access control), and access to various devices and folder locations; within reason, the more controlled and restricted the better.

Linux ought to make a move in this front and gain ground on security advantage: shouldn't we be able to give access to specific processes (say an installed game or text application) to specific folders and devices? Why should a game be able to read all my files (and not just its own folder), and why should any of those be able to use the network?
I assume it makes it relatable to people who are accustomed to seeing kWh on their electric bills.
They had issues for a while in that area, actually. I hear that the ML people are now allowed to publish much of what they work on.
Yes, and grandparents can have the ability to contribute a lot to the success of their grandchildren. In contemporary times, a wealthy grandparent can send many grandchildren to college with their wealth.

Back in the word of mouth days, the first few to advertise gained a clear advantage.

Same here and now. Even if we did restrict advertising through laws, it would be a race to see who could advertise “legally” first, and thus suddenly capture everyone’s attention.
Not a talk per se, but a great conversation between Brian Greene and Leonard Susskind about the state of modern physics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xk48z8N-sl0 .
The generic "Asians are good at math", in this context, is probably extended as "We observed that certain groups of Asians are good at math, therefore, all Asians are good at math."

And as parent pointed out, it's the leap from observed results to expectations about a racial group (or many groups in this case) that makes it racist.

Only after watching a short but interesting documentary on youtube about wet markets in China [1] I understood why they are so interested in keeping that industry operational. It's as bad as it is, but unfortunately wet markets also seem to play a massive economic role in some parts over there, where many people depend on it.

I'd sure hope, that the western world would put more pressure on China, but instead it seems we'll be facing even bigger pandemic threats in the future..

I forgot to type it in that reply (hence redundant 'understand'), but also something as common as discussion. If you talk with a pedantic person he might be 100% accurate but prevent it from moving forward. This is called obstruction. What Lem was saying is obviously true, definitions of different level remain in use. Because they're useful.

I like Lem but sometimes his complex grammar and vocabulary doesn't add any value. I think it's better to describe (relatively) simple things in simple language. Lem tended to phrase everything that way.
Its a big company and I’m sure the experience on different teams is varied - but I really like working at Apple.

It’s hard work but much more interesting than my previous jobs, and people _really_ believe in the values like privacy which I like.
Why is it we live in a world where someone creating something they release for free, for fun, for other people to freely enjoy, based on a character or idea that some corporation owns is against the law?

A large fan project existing is arguably a net positive for everyone. It's not like these projects take sales from the company, in some cases like the am2r guy or the sega fan game people, it leads legitimate careers in the game industry, it's free exposure that keeps people interested in a brand or characters.

I've seen a lot of big ip based fan projects come and go over the years, i've yet to see one that would have seriously damaged the owner's business or ip in any significant way.

To be honest though, i've personally refused to purchase things specifically because of dick move ip enforcements. I refuse to ever play metroid returns because of what nintendo did to the am2r guy and that is a game I would have bought. I would have bought a ds just to buy that game, was planning on it.
The best part of the entire pointless effort.
You definitely realize that keto is circulating around the web. Indeed, so is this item. Also, in a universe of consistent keto diet pill discharges, it very well may be difficult to stick out. In any case, not for this item. As of now, the Slimtone Reviews are truly encouraging. Since, the second this item hit the market, individuals began paying heed. Indeed, it began selling out immediately. Effectively, a large number of clients love this item. Also, that is on the grounds that this recipe contains an elevated level of ketones.

I've also heard they are very strict on what employees can and can't do in their free time. Most of the stuff is not allowed even though it's completely separate from day job from what I've heard, which keeps me away from applying at Apple.
>> VAT Directive

The EU rule is minimum 15%, the UK choses 20% of its own accord.

But that's not the interesting bit, the interesting bit is the follow-up question: "what stops the UK changing this from within the EU?"

The answer for this one is nothing - in fact, EU states have already agreed that all states will have full VAT setting powers from 2022.

>> biofuels directive

You'd need to give more context here - Boris Johnson has committed £12 billion partly in support of going beyond the requirements of this directive as part of the so called "new green revolution".

What exactly is the conflict with the biofuels directive? If anything it's weaker than the current UK Gov's expressed desires in this space?

>> directives concerning tendering

Yep - this is a bona fide one.
Can I see an example of your newsletter without having to subscribe first?
This is not true at all. I’m fact, most of the Apple engineers I know online talk much more of politics than their work because one of those topics doesn’t have an NDA on it.
This doesn’t make sense. If someone makes $10 an hour, then they would be better off if they made $20 an hour. That’s because $20 > (GREATER THAN) $10. However if it was only $5 (five), then they wouldn’t want to work for $5 an hour because $5 < (LESS THAN) $10.

You can check it with your calculator if you’re skeptical.

$20-$10 = + number so $20 is grater

$5 - $10 = - number so $5 is less
How to design a new programming language from scratch
> Some people have built multi-million dollar brands off the TLD, but how do you raise prices to take advantage of that without losing the 100,000 other registrations that will just churn away?

Is there anything to stop them from raising prices on the most established domains while keeping the long tail at the same price?

E.g., some of the new TLDs already have "premium" pricing for dictionary word domains, is there anything stopping them from raising the price on dictionary domains after someone has started using them?

Lora is extremely low-bandwidth. You can barely send a kB a day.
Honestly, Google should require as part of the Play Store certification that vendors ship their goddamn drivers in a quality that is acceptable to upstream Linux, or at least get them to staging quality.
I wonder if this changed after they sold to VCs. I worked there quite a few years ago and 3/4 of the employees were customer support. There was 24 hour support in multiple languages. They used to pride themselves on support. It's sad to hear that it's gone downhill.

3D Schröder Staircase
My experience with linux audio as a casual user (hobbyist composer and arranger) was awful. This was about two years ago -- I remember trying to install Jack, completely screwing up my audio configuration, and then spending days mucking around trying to get Pulse Audio working again at all. I never could get my sound card working, and had to nuke my Fedora installation and reinstall. It was a nightmare. (This was around three years ago, on Fedora 25).

While I don't doubt that Linux can be great for audio, if the configuration befuddled someone with a CS degree so badly, I think most ordinary musicians don't stand a chance.

N.B. Compare to something like Soundflower on Mac at that time, and it's no contest -- almost foolproof to set up.
Sounds like Lithuanian rather than Polish.
Latency is fine, I don’t use the Xbox controllers with Linux for the reasons I mentioned but I do use them in BT mode with the Steam Link. Never had any problems with input lag. PS4 controllers are BT only and absolutely no problems with those with either PS4 or Linux. In terms of versatility and support the PS4 controllers are my favorite, but I slightly prefer the ergonomics of the Xbox One S controller.

Apple engineers comment here all the time. Occasionally they will identify themselves, sometimes they will comment with something that is easy to tie them back to. And sometimes they’ll comment anonymously too.

That being said, you’ll see the last two a lot more than the first, because “I work at Apple” predictably gets people thinking that you are also speaking for the company in an official capacity.
Before Github, submitting a patch required reading some documentation in the project about how to submit patches, set up one's git config to properly generate the patches and email them. Then came the part of actually making the changes, generating the patches and running a git command to submit them.

With Github, one has to fork the project, run some commands to clone the repo from the fork, make the changes, push them, and then go back to the web interface to create the pull request.

Glad you've stated this because going forward, software generally gets deprecated more often than maintained (I'm sure there are a few rare cases). Our hardware is very intertwined with software, so we toss out perfectly good hardware because it isn't running the latest firmware. Can manufacturers allow late-stage open source rom conversions on smart devices and allow the community to keep supporting legacy systems?
it's a problem in the git model, since all the commit hashes would change. that means that all existing references become invalid, including emails, commit messages, and pull requests.
They do occasionally. I assume the reason why you don’t see it is because people are {scared, loyal} enough to not do it much.
Conveniently, we are not shown the type of n or its valid input range: if it is a int16_t or we know it to be upper bounded by 1<<30, that's proper vanilla binary search.

There are many different right-wing factions, I don't know exactly what you mean by "worthwhile", if you want to understand what is happening in the world, you might want to at least be familiar with the main ones and their world views.

For libertarianism maybe read Reason. For the neo-cons it would be the National Review, for paleo-cons, the American Conservative. For the business or free market conservatives, the Heritage Foundation or AEI. For unabashedly pro-Trump conservatives, it would be the American Spectator. For the religious right, no idea what you would read there.

It's very different from the left wing stuff I read in that the right-wing groups mainly have a single thread in common, a skepticism of centralized government control, whereas the liberal sources that I read all seem to share more of a common ideology.

Ask HN: Do you know any high quality live coding resources?
Context: I consider myself a mid level engineer and I would love to watch senior+ engineers tackling problems in real time and explaining their thought process as they go along. I imagine pair programming resources would work too.

There are tons of videos of people live coding on Youtube/Twitch but I find the majority of them often work on problems relatively trivial, do not explain their thought process very well or just don't write easy to read/modular code. Some examples of what I'd consider very high quality streams:

>Changing a shared system-wide path or installing shared system-wide files owned by a user is so fundamentally borked that you should immediately reject anything offered by anyone who suggested to do that.

I don't think that's fair to the homebrew developers. They chose a justifiable tradeoff - as you said most mac systems are single user systems and their design offers better protection to a far larger group of users. When you run `brew install ffmpeg` you are running an arbitrary ruby script from Homebrew git repo and it's probably better that it doesn't run as root. I can't see how that is bad advice; I'd argue that the opposite - sticking to "tradition" despite the changing the landscape of how personal devices have changed security is the broken mindset.

I'm sure most macOS users are far more concerned about an arbitrary script exfiltrating their keychain than some contrived multi-user setup where another user installs a keylogger in the system path.
