err, no? This kind of (typically self-loathing) moral equivalence really bothers me. It's so entitled to think that govts leading countries like the UK and US which are nice to live in and have so many incredible freedoms and benefits which so many seem entitled and utterly unappreciative of.

China are literally harvesting organs, disappearing political dissidents and covered up the outbreak of a pandemic (to say the least you could about that), and their govt is responsible for 10's of millions of deaths of their own people.

Some nebulous Chomsky-ish nonsense doesn't rank against that, sorry.
> Then the recipient will get the VAT bill + 8 pound surcharge from Royal Mail when they pick up the package.

I can't see how - Royal Mail / customs cannot distinguish "seller does not intend to report and remit VAT" packages from "seller intends to report and remit VAT properly" packages.

I imagine that will be rectified at some point, though, maybe by requiring some sort of identifier on the packages (like in other countries operating similar schemes).

Have you noticed your organizational approach change over time? I suppose this depends a lot on what you do with your computer, once its all setup!
That is the logic of religion - believing only things that allow personally satisfying outcomes.
Interesting use of a file server.

On plan 9 we use a file server called webfs[1] which serves web pages as a series of directories containing files of parsed html and so on. It's basically a tabbed browser back end. A front end such as mothra or netsurf[2] can then use webfs to abstract the html protocol and replaces post/get with read()/write(). And it can be served over a network so you could run a webfs "server" and let multiple clients on multiple machines surf the web through a single webfs server. Bonus is you can also do webstuff from shell scripts so the back end is used by shell programs like hget which is the plan 9 equivalent to wget :-)

This sounds a lot like the "people with significant control" rules in the UK:

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/people-with-significant-control-...

I am a director of a small and mostly inactive company. We had to fill in a form when these rules came in. We have to fill in a form when we change directors or shareholders, which happens every few years. We have to fill in an annual confirmation that the information is up to date. All of this takes a matter of minutes. The cost is negligible.
Yeah but it did do him a lot of damage. I think you have to defeat him by "knocking him out" like five times.
Funny, I actually have an open Pinetime in front of me right now. I use it for my masters thesis and it's a really nice project. If you want to try out some embedded development (that you can actually show to friends who don't aren't developers), I think this is the perfect project.
Well, not having to wake up in the middle of the night is not a small matter.

Also, even if the fire goes out you'll get some residual heat and so you have some time to get it going again. This may not be a big deal at 0C, but if it's -20C outside then it may be a higher priority.

From various reviews I've read, the heat 'feels' different: not as intense but rather 'softer' and 'even'.
A bypass provides a route around a population center to offload traffic - this would have done the opposite, reducing quality of life for thousands of nearby residents, workers, and others using the neighborhood.

For comparison, the more recent approach of increased pedestrianisation and traffic calming has been a significant improvement to life in the New York areas where it's been applied.
I see it all the time.

Tons of developers coming out of bootcamps (and even a few designers with no coding experience) who know how to string together a few react components but have problems with basic JS.

Ideas like /proc and ToolTalk come from Solaris, no need for KDE to get inspired.

Irix had similar ideas as well.

That is the thing, these UNIX workstations had a whole stack experience, not what Linux or BSD ever were or are.
None of what you said seems to follow from what is explained in the comments above or the article. From my reading, literally all the small business has to do to be “legitimate” is to accurately disclose the beneficial owners’ names, addresses and a Government issued ID (which I assume can be foreign for foreign owners as long as it can be verified).

There’s nothing about not being allowed to have an anonymous shell company that inflates the costs of legitimate business...
It wasn’t the courts who asked for the dismissal, it was the DOJ under Barr (appointed by Trump) that did. The courts were dumbfounded.
We’re using Stripe and super happy in general. But they don’t cover PayPal (which lots of our users need), and also recently added 0.5% charge for all subscriptions [0]. Previously it was included. They definitely added value over time, but I would expect them to raise prices as well over time. Also their support, while still great overall, can be w bit patchy and much slower than before (from our own anecdotal experience).

I’m curious about the experience of others with chargebee etc as a layer that potentially lets you “swap” Stripe with something else. Is it worth it?

They already know. Many recent cryptographic algorithms (Curve25519, ChaCha20, and so on) treat their input and output as little-endian numbers.
Facebook is a company that never stood by small businesses. It's also the company that manipulated users into a free basic services just to create their own walled garden in the internet.

Still, sardonically they created two ad campaigns: Apple vs free internet and vs small businesses. Their whole marketing stunt was laughably wrong. No wonder their chief left the company.
> Put those words into context around Alien 3. Young guy, big production and budget - of course he'll listen to everyone since, well.. insecurity!

Alien 3 was my first thought when I saw David Fincher in this headline. As flawed as that movie was, I still really enjoyed it. I can tell he legitimately tried to make it a legitimate "art" piece in his mind.

Your commentary about him being young+big money... is absolutely correct. Alien 3 could have had 3x the box market pop if there was a more collaborative process in my view.

Oh well, you live and you learn. Personal bias: I have enjoyed pretty much every one of David Fincher's movies.
Agreed, it's too bad they didn't go for something like the Sharp Memory LCD found in the Pebble watches.
Apple‘s Reminders app. Unfortunately, the app is not mature at all. The text (date) recognition, like "4pm shopping", should in its current state just be removed. I honestly don't know though if it's intentional, to create a place for companies like Todoist in the App Store. If the text recognition and user interface in Apple's Reminder app would be better, I wouldn't use Todoist anymore.
Force-directed layout has no guarantees that a planar graph will be drawn planar. It often comes out that way, given how the algorithm works, but not always. Especially nodes that are "trapped" between others may have trouble "escaping" to the other side of an edge at times, due to the forces involved.

It may help increasing the dimensions for Graphviz (I think its force-directed layout can work in up to 10 dimensions), but there's still a step involved that projects everything to 2D in the end, so it might still happen.
"Chief of Advertising Integrity" does anyone take that title seriously? Forget advertising, Facebook and it's CEO himself has no integrity.
It would almost certainly be on my Top 100 list as well. I think it stands up pretty well. Those other two are pretty classic too--although I'm not really a horror film fan.

(That said, I could see people not being able to identify with the where/when the movie was set. I certainly wasn't part of that either but I still really enjoyed it.)

But, yeah, the films Lucas directed go way downhill after American Graffiti and Star Wars.
It's a legacy from days of old when it made silicon design of the memory bus easier. Arm, for example, does not incur a performance hit when switching to big-endian.
The UK version of this rule doesn't exempt large companies, it exempts small shareholders. You don't have to declare anyone who owns less than 25% of the company.

What additional burden do you think the bill puts on small businesses?
To unlearn this year: reading too much and too fast, without taking notes.

I am a very regular Hacker News reader, visit here almost daily and find lots of interesting reading. However if you ask me today what did I learn in the last year, my answer will barely scratch the surface of everything I have read. Effectively, it means that the time I have spent reading was merely spent on a diversion, not learning. I still hope that everything I have read is somehow absorbed in my unconsciousness, but being honest with myself I understand that should I have taken at least a few notes, and should I have reviewed those notes at least once or twice during the year, I would have probably learnt much more.

Tangentially: unlearn to read mostly blogs and learn to start more books; unlearn to be only motivated by doing things and spend more time learning new things; unlearn to pile up open tabs with "things to read later because I don't have enough focus for it now" (and I don't know how to solve the latter yet).

A single blog post (oh the irony...) that acted as a catalyst for the thinking process that lead me to this decision: https://maartenvandoorn.nl/reading-guide (It was previously shared somewhere on the HN by the way).
But why? WSL1 was something like wine but reverse, but WSL2 is actually linux.
I’m not so sure if this is significant other than for the fact that it’s being distributed by PINE64. There are plenty other junk reprogrammable “smartwatch kit” that reuse Huami/Xiaomi-brand smartwatch enclosures while genuine Huami goes on to collect data more strategically at a larger scale.

Recently I got a Mi Band 5 and learned they transfer BLE pairing over platforms - they make devices generate new MAC when unpaired, which is tied to Huami account upon pairing. Gives me different chills than the fact that its sole purpose is to take my health data anyway.

What does this even mean. Already fragmented apps before it even starts, what else to expect.
It is incredible to me that GL could best be celebrated as a world builder yet the Star Wars cannon might be the smallest universe out of any mainstream film series. Part of the reason I lost interest is that they refuse to create something new in the SW universe and constantly just microwave and serve the leftovers of the old movies.
Aren't the flaws the sources of the liabilities?
To be fair, how many non-film buffs know a lot of films from the early 70s today? Star Wars is an exception mostly because it became such a franchise.
Not if it's organized as a corporation where all of the residents are voting shareholders. That's generally the model that most cohousing and intentional communities tend towards.
The moment you need control flow to define your resources, I'd argue that you're verging away from the realm of declarative infrastructure.

I'm using Terraform to manage 10^4 machines in combination with sane CI/CD, Bash/JQ (for dealing with Terraform outputs), Packer and Ansible. Everytime I see somebody reaching to a full programming language to define their infrastructure, they seem to be doing too much with one tool.

Terraform should merely provision things and in that role I find it fine as is. Preferred, even.

> In March 2015, the Department began employing ShotSpotter, a technology that pinpoints the sound of gunfire with real-time locations, even when no one calls 911 to report it. This technology triangulates where a shooting occurred and alerts police officers to the scene, letting them know relevant information: including the number of shots fired, if the shooter was moving at the time of the incident (e.g., in a vehicle), and the direction of the shooter's movement. ShotSpotter enables a much faster response to the incident and the ability to assist victims, gather evidence, solve crimes, and apprehend suspects more quickly.
Someone did make a BE bootable Netbsd image for the Rpi3, since ARM can be switched to BE mode. http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2020/12/03/msg039...

Appears nobody has done the same for Linux yet. The link above mentions that Rpi4 isn't done because BE mode with ACPI either isn't possible, or is difficult.
This was just to see if an automatic layout algorithm could make sense of connections between stations. ("Kinda. If you squint.")
It's very very rare that anyone needs to care about endianness outside of the application edge space (ie. reading or writing to data sources and sinks).

In the article, many of the errors were a result of undefined behaviour that just happened to work on the CI machines upstream Qt ran. Relying on undefined behaviour in your code will bite you in the bum sooner or later, regardless of endianness.
Well, combustion create particulates, carbon monoxide, etc: do you really want these things in your living quarters?

Further, creating drafts in houses isn't a good thing as it forces air in via crevices, door jams, windows casings, etc. As it moves these holes who knows what kind of nasty things the air is picking up from behind your walls.

A lot of folks are under the mistaken impression that houses need to 'breathe'; they do not:

You want your house to be as airtight as possible, and then bring in air in a controlled fashion on your own terms: conditioned and filtered.
My question might be stupid since you seem to be more versed in this subject. But if I incorporate in the US, how does the government/relevant bodies know that I am who I say I am in the BO?
American Graffiti (1973) is very enjoyable. I consider it a great movie. Great ensemble cast. Highly recommended.
Part of the reason old people stick with old ideas and prejudices is that they have old brains. Real rejuvenation would make old brains as flexible as young brains, and there's already been research in that direction.
From my understanding of frontend performance, JS parsing is blocking.

So reducing the JS "load" is a performance win on the client.
> If that is all you're going to put there, then just leave it blank.

Well, I would love to. Unfortunately neither Play Store nor App Store allow you to do that... so "bug fixes and performance improvements" it is, 99% of the time.
You have repeatedly misrepresented me, spread misinformation and defended a state that organ harvests political prisoners and runs concentration camps.

You're either a troll, very naive, a patriot to the point of delusion or in the employ of the CCP. Think for yourself and think about what you're defending.
I also have automatic updates off and I really like checking changelogs to know what new things I can play with.

And I don't mind reading 'bugfixes and performance improvements' ... but only if that's really what the new version is about. I like changelogs, but even for me a 'we fixed an issue where if you enter a 1025 characters text into the title textbox and press back twice while rotating the phone the app closes' is probably too much, but if you added a new option to increase the text size please say it, I don't want to check all the settings screens each time each app updates, and more often than not someone tells you 'hey, aren't you using this option?' No, no I wasn't, because no one told me.

Are you a big company and you have automated updates? Why not have an automated checklist of changes too? I'm sure you have a 'roadmap list', so use it.

To sell Windows laptops to the same crowd that buys Apple laptops to develop GNU/Linux software, instead of supporting Linux OEMs, and are unhappy that Apple only cares about developers on Apple ecosystem.

Microsoft understood that they only care about having some kind of POSIX support, and nowadays being Linux compatible is more relevant than straight POSIX, as the BSDs and IllumniOS also found out with their compatibility layers.
I guess you'll have to use it to "believe" ;)

Setup is much less hassle, startup is much faster (one or two seconds) and resource usage is much lower than running Linux in a VM.

Also little things like VScode (running as Windows UI application) automatically detecting WSL and setting itself up to connect to the WSL side. To do the same for a VM requires at least to configure the SSL ports on the VM.
This seems good but it starts using borrow in a bunch of examples without saying what it even is.

Doesn't have to be coverage of every minute detail down to the implementation, but a rough outline of at least the most significant changes seems like a good middle ground.

Work. As a recovering workaholic and nihilist I’ve come to accept that work never really made me happy if meant my life was out of balance. It wasn’t even like I had to work 80 hour weeks, I just did it because I was bored. If there’s one thing I learned this past year, it was I can and must give myself permission to just “stop”.
That sucks. Perhaps the most annoying part of modern infosec is the absolute deluge of noise you get from scanning tools. Superfluous CVEs like this contribute to the sea of red security engineers wake up to when they look at their dashboards. Unsurprisingly, these are eventually mostly ignored.

Every large security organization requires scanning tooling like Coalfire, Checkmarx, Fortify and Nessus, but I've rarely seen them used in an actionable way. Good security teams come up with their own (effective) ways of tracking new security incidents or vastly filtering the output of these tools.

The current state of CVEs and CVE scanning is that you'll have to wrangle with bullshit security reports if you run any nontrivial software. This is especially the case if you have significant third party JavaScript libraries or images. And unfortunately you can't just literally ignore it, because infrequently one of those red rows in the dashboard will actually represent something like Heartbleed.
Facebook uses “Integrity” as a friendly synonym for abuse / spam / illegal activity.

For example, it avoids them actively having to say they have a “fake accounts team” (which would in turn indicate they have a fake accounts problem). Instead it’s part of the “Community Integrity team”.
Being light-weight won it for me. And the hassle free setup to use the same disk on both environments.
I really don't buy Pulumi's primary selling point: That using a "familiar (general-purpose programming) language" for cloud configuration makes us more productive.

I'm not a huge fan of Hashicorp's HCL---I'd prefer something more flexible and powerful like Jsonnet or Dhall---but I'm a believer in DSLs in general and that the right DSL is the best solution here. Cloud configuration is really a very different problem domain from general-purpose programming and it seems to me pretty self-evident that a well-designed DSL can make us more productive in this space and produce more readable configurations than a general-purpose programming language.
Well you guys are pulling me to an extreme position here. Of course I love good textbooks too. And review journals like signal processing magazine are my favorites. I'm sure many people do them for great reasons too. Let's not forget that academics teach too, and there are academics and colleges that are entirely devoted to teaching, not research. People are free to prefer them more if they like. However, when it comes to research metrics, the person who did the research deserves the credit for it. Even if we subtract the citations for obvious review papers (which is commonly done) there is still the lost citations by the original researchers.

Reviews also cause other devious problems, like journals hacking their own impact factors. And don't forget the Matthew principle (aka rich get richer) whereby only big-shot researchers can get invited to have their reviews published in high-impact journals, warping the network effects to their favor even more.
We're definitely living in different parts of the world, work in different areas, and are at different universities. Obviously, I wouldn't have written the points if they had been implemented at my university. (I don't want to write in which country and which discipline, since I don't want to be identified. I'm one of very few foreigners with long-term funding in my area, we are a small country with only few universities plagued by all of the problems I've mentioned.)

I have to insist about what I wrote about candidates who disparage mathematical methods in the humanities. These people can destroy whole departments if you let them roam freely.
What I would like to also see in these types of well written articles is the answer to questions like "what can you do with Rust that you can not do with C?"
