Would love to hear how a shared message board platform can be serverless. You are aware databases are servers right?
Mutual understanding is a great idea. It is outside the job expectations of the people pulling the plug on their technical infrastructure.
Or Cinnamon:

https://projects.linuxmint.com/cinnamon/

I've been running Cinnamon on a few machines for years, and it mostly works fine, which for a Linux desktop is high praise. The file picker has thumbnails (although it only has a list view, so they're ant-size).

I haven't used MATE. My understanding is that MATE started life as Gnome 2, whereas Cinnamon started life as Gnome 3 reskinned to look like Gnome 2. Both have grown considerably from their starting points.

Yes! It's almost as if Nazis and terrorists are not the same thing as sex workers.

What a puzzling thing.
To find a leak in a bike tyre you need to hold it in a basin of water and look for air escaping. Same for data.

No, I'm saying it's hard for sex abuse victims to get their videos off Pornhub.

If they can't even prevent re-uploads of known illegal videos, maybe they should never have allowed user uploads at all.
In my experience it was fairly uncommon 30+ years ago, but common today.
Yes. Then they lash out and then there is a reckoning. This is ideal.
With meat there are three stages, searing to seal the juices inside. Then roasting in dry heat. Finally, resting it. All meats must ‘rest’ for 15-20 minutes because it continues cooking evenly right after the oven.

When you get it out depends on preferred doneness. Medium rare, medium, well done. Most white meat is cooked well done.

Or you cook sous vide. Wherein, the Maillard reaction is to be done separately.

Chicken legs have to be seared first and then goes into the oven. And then rested. If you have seasonings, let it sit in marinade for 20 mts in the fridge and then 40-45 mts in a 425 deg oven.

While chickens and legs can also be brined for a crackling crispy skin but whole birds cook unevenly. Spatchcocked birds make for more even cooking.
This is a really good summary of the situation, and I'd add a bit about risk:

It's relativity easy to estimate EC2 costs for running some random service, because it's literally just a per-hour fee times number of instances. If you're wrong, the bigger instance size or more instances isn't that much more expensive.

For almost every other service, you have to estimate some other much more detailed metric: number of http requests, bytes per message, etc. When you haven't yet written the software, those details can be very fuzzy, making the whole estimation process extremely risky - it could be cheaper than EC2, it could be 10x more, and we won't really know until we've spent at least a coulple months writing code. And let's hope we don't pivot or have our customers do anything in a way we're not expecting..
No. The time has passed when it crossed into violence. We should do here what the Germans did to Nazi groups after the war. Ban them.
The Russians were interested in hypersonic glide vehicles as a platform for nuclear weapons.

They really hated the Pershing 2 because that kind of reentry vehicle can break suddenly two or more times confounding the Moscow ABM system. (which might have been able to fire multiple nuclear shots, get lucky to disable the warhead, and burn out all the electronics for 1000 miles away with the EMP -- the American hit-to-kill ABM will just fail)

Russia was trying to outboondoggle us with Buran and the Energyia booster. Like the space shuttle Buran was a hypersonic glide vehicle that could land on a runway with a wing and a prayer, emphasis on the prayer. The rocket engines were on the booster but not the orbiter, so Energia by itself was a capable heavy lift vehicle which the russians planned to out-boondoggle us: one Energia exploded when Russia tried to launch a 1-MW class laser satellite with optical targeting and all the facilities to start burning up targets. (e.g. in response to the Reagan era SDI talk, the Russians tried to hastily launch real hardware)

BTW I have seen the boxes on the Iowa class and they are a hoot. The US Congress had a lot of resistance to Robert Macnamara's plan to switch the Navy to vertical launch tubes because they didn't look menacing enough but if you look at Chinese films like Wolf Warrior you see they are very proud of their missile destroyers and their cluster munitions too.
The great irony here is Parler DOES engage in loads of censorship (no parody, no Pro-Cannabis comments, no positive antifa comments, I don't think you can even be left wing on there).

So I'm stuck defending a censorous site against censorship!?

I am a weirdo, because a public site like Parler is exactly where I hope insurrection should be planned. Why wasn't the FBI ready to swoop and arrest actual violent people given they were posting their plans in plane view? Why are we relying on AWS to moderate away trumps lies and fix the US Political landscape?

To me, killing parler (for all its shit-ness), is a perfect example of "we have to do something, and this is something".

Does anyone actually think that if Parler had gone offline 4 weeks ago, the events of the last week would have been different? They'd have planned on twitter or Facebook or reddit or wherever.

When can we solve the actual problems here (failure to deal with trump, a poor relationship with the truth for all politicians, law enforcement complete lack of interest in right wing threats, lack of basic security etc)?

Censoring random websites seems like farting in a Jucuzzi, censorship is almost always a way of ignoring actual problems while pretending you are acting. And here we are again.

Sorry, its late here in the UK and I'm ranting. Thanks for reading.
That Mac cannot multithread the UI interactions. It doesn't have to be a keystroke processing issue. It can be "hey window parent, I've got your result in my properties, pick it up" which doesn't get processed before the next event changes the related property.

It's almost a classic TOCTOU issue.

I've seen this in other Julia discussions. Can someone show me a use case other than trying to cycle over the same data (EDIT: or range) repeatedly where 0-based is fundamentally better than 1-based? I mean, that's the only case I can think of where 0-based is actually going to be easier and more sensible.

But I'd argue that languages should stop having fixed offsets, 1-based and 0-based are both too limiting. Ada is around 40 years old (and it's not unique in this) and it provides arbitrary index ranges and the option to use any discrete type as the index so that you can use whatever index is most natural for your particular problem.
The scary thing is we’ve moved on from there on other platforms because those problems were solved forever ago.

I sit at my Mac desktop, press any key on my keyboard to wake the machine or tap the touchpad and I’m logged in.

Being impressed with the very small changes is a symptom that there are lots of small problems. The most important change for me is I rarely if ever have to enter a password now while at the same time, no random joe can sit at my computer and use it.
I’m sure their benefactors will happily fork over a few million for some machines and space in a datacenter.
Incidentally, that lag is there independent of how fast your disk is, it seems. It's kind of annoying.
I wonder if anybody has asked Parler if they agree with Trump's position on Section 230. Trump wants to peel back the liability shield 230 provides.
My first real public project: a way to handle some smart plugs on a LAN (https://github.com/wsw70/meross-local-mqtt).

The project itself is not that interesting for the majority of pepole. What was nice for me was this kind of thrill to push something for everyone to share.

I put more attention into the details, description, etc. A very fulfilling learning experience.

This is going to help me release the 10 or so other projects I was keeping private but was ashamed to publish. I just need to find some time to polish them.

I dearly hope my cast iron skillet will never require a firmware upgrade.
Wait, ignoring the freedom implications, why is it so necessary for Parler to rent compute in the first place? If the twitter clone analogy holds as true as I think it does they are just serving text snippets and the occasional image; that's well within the capabilities of a rack or two of servers sitting in an office closet somewhere.
I’m looking to phase out my phone wherever possible, so when I’m out and about I would like to use my notebook to replace some phone functions (notes, non-urgent messages, adding to a list, setting a reminder, new contact, etc). The issue is, once I write in my notebook, I tend to never reread what I’ve written.

Enter Typoglyph. I assign blocks of text a glyph or symbol (#, <, ~, etc). I can then map these symbols to any command using the text as input.

At the end of each day I simply snap a picture of my notebook pages and all the queued actions in my notebook are executed.

Unfortunately I’m using Google Cloud OCR, as it’s the most accurate at detecting handwriting (that I’ve found). It also doesn’t allow for custom glyphs.
As a dev I still have to interact with the file picker a huge number of times in a single day. The GTK file picker is perhaps one of the worst offenders that's irritating devs, power-users and plain regular users.

Patches get dismissed.

I don't know where the problem is. It's as if the GNOME team had a vision, but didn't actually try to see how this vision plays out using the tools they're making.

Ah, that seems exactly like I was asking for, unfortunately in the 3 years since Safari added it, I can't find much pick up on it. I found this on Chromium but with not much progress.

As I understand it, if you didn't register the trademark then it's not your trademark legally except as a defense against lawsuits. So Google seems to have followed the law. Better than them becoming some sort of extra-legal arbitrator of quasi-trademarks.
Yes, they are so small that they are completely useless. What is needed is a widget like the one from Windows at the top of the article that actually shows all the thumbnails at a decent size so you can use them to actually locate the right image.

> If everyone else is talking about violent action January 18th, and then you talk about people you'd like killed in the same general conversation, you don't walk just because you never specified the specific time yourself.

And where, precisely, is that proposition found to be found in law or precedent?

> We have constitutional lawyers on the other side arguing the bar set in Brandenburg is met by Trump's comments alone

And now you switch subjects again to Trump's comments when we were discussing Lynn's.

You're trying to gesture at an article you haven't even properly cited to blame a different person entirely which does nothing to establish that the authority gestured at even agrees with you in the first place.

Now, if you have, say, a link to a proper legal analysis saying here are these specific statements by Lynn and this is why we think they meet the tests based on these and these precedents, then go ahead and present that. But if you're just going to continue to switch topics instead of trying to make your claims more precise, then I see no reason to engage further.

Here, I'll even help you:

The issue, so that we don't keep changing topics, should be:

> Given its size, configuration, and geopolitical contexts, the US has few comparable nations against which we can test.

Why does country size affect academic performance of students?

Russia, China, India, and Mexico are not developed nations. I wouldn't compare their educational results with the US. I'd be more interested in Canada, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, and the European nations. The USA compares near the bottom of this list.

> No, it isn't. The other nations I just listed by comparison churn out very few humanities degrees.

You used humanities degrees as a strawman argument in the OP. You asserting you did not do that is just a waste of effort. Perhaps you need to look up what a strawman argument is?
I don't understand the wrong screenshot fear. Can't you confirm it's the right one once you select it and see the preview to the right?
It's usually detected by anti-click-fraud stuff (since it's the same UA, cookies, and IP that's mass whacking ads, it's the easy case). However, the users of the tool occasionally intend to punish the publishers (people who put these ads on their sites) which does happen for some low volume publishers - like your buddy's blog with AdSense and stuff.
They're fascists, they're planning to lash out anyway. At least let's maybe make things slightly more difficult for them. Or even slightly less comfortable.
I see your point but unfortunately this is really not how platforms these days work... Even if people are on the "same platform" they get trapped in their own echo chambers because by doing so the platforms make the most amount of money.
> or anyone friendly with them

This is disgusting - it implies that you should pick and choose your friends based on political affiliation, which not only is extremely (and intentionally) divisive, but also provides no room for guiding these individuals back to a more moderate political stance.

Without being friends (or at least interacting with) with those who have been ostracized by society, how, exactly, do you propose to try to get them to change their minds?

I'm also curious as to how they plan to enforce this constraint - Cabal appears to be completely decentralized, correct?
You are kinda overlooking the fact that we haven't had the war yet.

I think widespread suppression of information about this planned protest would've mattered, but I don't think it was justified before the events at the capitol. Now I think it is a clear and easily foreseeable risk to allow this to continue.
Answering here bc bottom post is locked for some reason - east1 occasionally disconnects from other regions. That is definitely within google backbone. Central-1 seems worse tho. If it’s less than an hour they dont bother with the status page.

For loadbalancer its very much by design as they randomly send you rst when google rolls them for upgrade and in some other cases (I’m working on a blog post on this). Google support recommendation is to retry (foreals)
That's awesome. Do you have a rough value on what the best case effort=10 encoding is right now (in CLI, decent computer), compared to the 10m number given above? Will it be 10x faster? 100x faster?
Copying my comment from another thread:

I'm getting slightly fatigued with this point of view ("X is a private company and can do what it wants").

If a company reaches a certain size and has a quasi-monopolistic position so that other people or companies depend on it, it starts to have some degree of responsibility towards society that's beyond value maximization for shareholders.
I expect you could. Then you could install Win3.1 running on DosBox. Or even a recursive MAME install...
The point is that there are fewer because people actually have to use that UI that can't figure out workarounds.
Maybe I will switch to KDE. Does the file picker in Chrome use that if I am running KDE? Someone said you have to trick Firefox in that case to not use GTK.
>I didn't say free markets could do whatever they wanted.

So you agree they are allowed to do as they please. What is your issue then?

>Also, wanted to point out that snarky comments are against the guidelines here.

You call the tech companies cartels, and I'm the one against guidelines? Makes sense....
It’s more just joking around with each other. Sometimes I’ll leave comments like:

“Had no idea you could use x library like this, awesome! :fire: :party: just make sure you’ve also considered y!”

Or if somebody made a simple typo that they’ll easily recognize, they get some kind of silly emoji.

Of course it’s different for comments like “This function seems to be doing too much, making it hard to read, I think it should be refactored to work like ...”. Those ones aren’t like the lighthearted ones, so it would be inappropriate to use emojis there.
There’s something very ironic about Parler—-which kicks users off its platform for espousing liberal ideology—-whining about being kicked off other platforms.

It seems difficult to do this in general when so many search terms can have multiple meanings. Are you suggesting there should be human review for every ad? (Which is not saying it's necessarily a bad idea; just trying to understand how you imagine it'd work.)

Who are these groups who are demanding such easy bootstrapping? OS or distro developers? Programmers working on embedded and/or safety critical systems?

I know OpenBSD avoids rust because of the bootstrapping issue, but they also avoid LLVM because of a licensing issue.
Ehhh I've looked at parler out of curiosity. Basically full of hate, conspiracy, calls for violence, blatant racism "kill blacks" type stuff.

I'm amazed companies were willing to work with them in the first place. Providing services to a company like that is like providing service to the KKK

I definitely agree that his forced resignation wasn't exactly just, but that's not really cancel culture in action, that was a response to a single employee complaint from my research. It almost reads as if execs were looking for an excuse to get rid of him. If it was up to me, I'd just quietly release a statement or something along that... 33 years is a long time.

What I'm more referring to is situations like JK Rowling where she is openly posting hateful content publicly (people don't even have to dig for it!) and she's criticizing cancel culture as the reason people don't want to read her new book, which just looks like it'll be awful[1].

Ask HN: Is It Possible to Follow HN Guidelines and Discuss Politics?
I use Emacs's direnv integration. Haven't had any trouble. It straight-up works better than alternatives I tried before like trying to turn pyvenv mode on automatically.

I also manage Emacs, its packages and its packages' native dependencies with Nix.

Having an automatic link between Emacs packages and native libraries has made my life massively easier. For example, earlier today I installed `pdf-tools`[1] just by adding (use-package pdf-tools :ensure t) to my init.el, and Nix took care of building and installing the native software needed to support it. I didn't have to go through any of the installation steps in the pdf-tools README[1], it just worked.

I'm on my laptop now, but when I get back to my desktop, all it will take to get pdf-tools working is pulling the latest version of my config from git and switching to it. As long as there's a version of the native libraries packaged for macOS, getting it working on my work laptop won't be any harder; if there aren't, I might either change the config to only have that package on Linux or I might write a bit of Nix code myself to build a macOS-compatible version.

pdf-tools is a cute self-contained example, but this has been even bigger for using lsp-mode and different language servers as well as other nice-to-have development tools.

For all the hassle that learning and moving to NixOS took—and still occasionally takes—I'm convinced that things like this have more than paid off for me and that I'm saving time on net.

It may be that most users of Stripe:

2. Are mostly US based businesses and don't care for EU based taxes.

3. Haven't yet reach the threshold for charging VAT and Stripe on its own.
