Thank you! I'm using plain Safari with no extensions.

An interesting website and blog, I like it! I wonder what their problem with HN is, although I don't mind being a testicle!
> It's just that 1-based indexing aligns with natural language conventions better.

What about how Europeans index their building floors from 0?
My favourite moment was when fedora turned on CGroups v2 after every distro waited years for docker to update to it. Docker was broken on fedora until you manually turned v1 back on but then docker suddenly upgraded to support v2.
I don’t think the right wing platform that was kicking up dangerous conspiracy theories which was funded by the same people as Cambridge Analytica was a “free speech platform”. It surely marketed itself as that though.
The article claims that maternal aggression specifically occurs for pregnant mothers or while in the act of nursing the young (or at least while lactating). It seems that this is a very specific kind of aggression response, while the increased territoriality would likely be a case of defensive aggression.
They only talk about laptops. Is anyone starting to make 16:10 monitors again?
Do not add any more fuel to the flame and instead use 2-based indexing: https://github.com/simonster/TwoBasedIndexing.jl

Seriously, the exact value of the lower bound for indexing doesn't matter here (some algorithms are best described with the lower bound other than 0 or 1, for example). The fixed or preferred lower bound is the real problem. Any argument for/against 0-based and 1-based indexing tends to gloss over the real problem because those arguments only exist to make some languages look better than other languages. As we move away from forced explicit indexing (e.g. arr.first() or foreach instead of arr[$LBOUND] or `for (i=$LBOUND; ...)`), it becomes clear that there is no such thing like the preferred lower bound for sequences at all.
Question, which vaccine to choose given option.

Moderna has 100mg per dose and standard freezer storage

Pfizer has 30mg per dose and extreme cold chain storage.

Seems like there's more potential for Pfizer to spoil along logistics chain.
The pricing of games doesn't really work for a transferrable license. In theory you could sell a $60 copy of Grand Theft Auto and then just pass that around to every person in the world. In this scenario Rockstar makes less than <$60 and Gamestop would take a constant % cut of every license exchange. This obviously is an extreme example but my point is to point out the disproportional economics.
A lot of people tweeted about the Trump supporters attacking Capitol, and many of them wrote variations of "shoot them". This breaches Twitter's guidelines.

I reported 30 of these "shoot them" tweets, but only about half of them were deleted.
The underlying design issues are:

a) there's no Xserver concept of a lock screen which would be hard to fix, I suspect. How would you signal X to lock/unlock; what would it do if the lock client wasn't connected, etc.

b) there's no atomic way to transfer mouse/keyboard grab to another window, which means you can't have a reliable, crash reduced screen locker that supervises a beautiful password checking program; it has to be the same program. This could probably be fixed with an X extension; yes, an extension is a lot of work, and yes, you'd have to deal with fragmentation, but you could keep the untoolkited password dialog in case the extension isn't present, nobody would see it unless they did something odd, so it's fine.

Another issue is that I think I've seen some linux systems don't launch the screen locker until resume, instead of locking before suspend; that's not ideal, because the screen locker will take time to launch and lock the screen (more so if it's got a fancy initialization routine and is a large binary/many libraries to load).

An option could be running a dedicated screen lock Xserver on a different VT, and (securely) switching to that one somehow. But that would probably involve changes to multiple layers at the same time, which is hard to pull off in Linux. People would complain about the bloat of running a second Xserver, regardless of the actual bloat or imcreased utility.
Its not that they still had python 2, its that the binary "python" referred to python 2 on ubuntu (it might even still be like this) while other distros had it pointed to python 3.

I don't understand the problem, when Julia installs binary dependencies those are installed locally (relative to Julia) in .julia, not on the system itself

No, they didn't. FBI charging documents make zero references to any of the OK defendants possessing any form of lethal, or even irritant, gas weapons.
Assuming the newly elected parliament can agree on a government. This is not always so easy, Belgium are famous for not having a government for years at a time.

This is not a 'Europe is different from USA' thing. Each country/system is peculiar in its own way.
For most cases of rape there's no doubt that the accused and the victim had sex. There victim says it wasn't consensual, but the accused says it was.

Rape kits provide no useful information in these cases.

My experience with running images on k8s is way worse than what you describe. It is a clusterfuck of dependencies and configuration when in reality people just want to run java -jar.
Replies from Linux Mint contributors to this point make for fairly interesting reading: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-screensaver/issues/354...

> I would gladly meet the liar for a cage fight, winner takes all.
That might be a kde limitation in general. The amount of "fun" I had dealing with two screens on kde is outright endless. Not sure they even test that kind of configuration, 640x480 pixels should be enough for everyone.
It does not seem like a big deal, both conventions are easy to understand and natural to use. Except if you work with the discrete Fourier transform. Then 1-based indexing is extremely cumbersome and annoying. More generally, if your indices are to be understood "modulo N", it makes sense that they are all strictly smaller than N (or even signed, and centered around 0).
they are sometimes enforced.
Also reminds me of “impossible” bug reports, only to discover the way to reproduce them was just simply double clicking on links and buttons.
Think of it like buying a movie, like it actually is. Of course you should be able to sell on used copies.
I think they're likely more of an authority because physicists have been studying radio, EM energy and its effects on the atomic level for more than a century. Meanwhile, epidemiologists are not biologists. Look at Neil Ferguson, one of the world's most famous. His actual background isn't biology, it's ... physics!

If you want to get the views of biologists on the effects of EM on the body, then great! You'd want to talk to microbiologists about that. Physicists can probably also be informative, but epidemiologists can only look at graphs like the one I linked to previously. They're more or less data scientists, posing as disease experts, but what they're doing when you drill in is what anyone who knows R and a bit of stats could do.

The IARC finding seems to be phrased very ambiguously. I would read it as saying "we have no evidence, but absence of evidence is not evidence of absence". Which is true but not really helpful for moving the debate forward, as at some point absence of evidence does need to be taken as evidence of absence or else you'd be stuck in the precautionary principle of not doing anything forever.
If you have a group of N potential customers that seek your services randomly and independently, then the standard deviation of customers is sqrt(N). This means you need less and less % extra capacity for handling randomly busy days the larger N is.
What if the company used child labor? If even Apple used parts built by children for years, I can only assume companies used it as well.

So if that’s the case, is it that different?
He probably means Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

When you say countries inspired by the revolutionary war, you probably don't mean "North Vietnam."
Keep in mind that screensavers aren't the only untested dumpster fire on Linux Desktops (or ~ distributions in general).

The whole desktop architecture is out of date. I wouldn't be surprised if someone argued that screensavers aren't important because it's just your user data exposed, the root account is still safe!
Devs will get bad reviews, bad press, support requests and demands for anti cheat.
While there are designs that are more robust against this, this is adding increased challenges and costs at no true advantage to the dev.
Whether wayland is ready for you basically comes down to 2 questions:

* Do you use a nvidia GPU
* Do you need to screen share from electron or other x11 only applications (MS teams, etc)

Its ready if you said no to both of those.
Hello and welcome to the 32:9 master race. Seriously, to each their own. Never had any issues with 16:9 anywhere and I generally prefer wider screens.
Gold rises due to US stimulus expectations
> Sadly, Greenwald is correct.

I disagree. He has, in my opinion, fallen for the very "creeping extremism" that he once decried. He does not appear to think rationally any more about the level of threat he perceives, nor of the source or logical outcome of the scenarios which play through his head.

The whole Hunter Biden laptop situation is a great example. He decried the fact that media was not covering the allegation, despite the leaps of faith were necessary to consider these allegations in good faith. He ignored the disparity of the threats - the risk that Hunter Biden might be trading off his family name versus the risk that white supremacists might attack the national capital in an attempt to overturn democracy.

> I fear that claims that a "domestic terrorism" threat exists will create an industry that at some point, will be too large and profitable to dismantle.

Cool. A reasonable fear on the face of things. I mean, I cannot see how, but it is a reasonable fear I suppose. However the problem which raises its ugly head is that Greenwald appears to not give a shit that domestic terrorism just took a large swing at the basis of US democracy, or that support for these terrorists appear to be well entrenched in the police, military and political classes. I mean, by all means avoid the profiteering that the Republicans brought to the threat of Muslim terrorism, but by no means ignore the fact that there exists a large pool of disenfranchised white men who are eager to throw another punch in the direction of their perceived enemies.
General state machines are useless as an abstraction: they're fundamentally noncompositional, which makes them impossible to reason about as soon as they get big enough. Many things can be represented as state machines, just as any program can be represented as a sequence of machine instructions; that doesn't mean that's a useful representation for working with.
Ask HN: Has anyone used publisher / discount stores to boost initial revenue?
I'm wondering if any of you has worked with StackCommerce[0] (former StackSocial) before? They are chasing me to add Zecoda [1] (early stage SaaS) to their discount stores with the following:

- Offer: Zecoda Pro: Lifetime Subscription

- Promotion: email to 4MM+ subs and ~25 pieces of editorial content

- Publisher Stores: Placement in 200+ publisher stores (such as Engadget's store & TheNextWeb's store)

They would get ~70% (!) of the revenue and will never include our website's URL in their articles. All links will push users to the stores.

I'm kind of on the fence here. It could be a potential revenue boost, but:

- Lifetime Subscription isn't ideal because we also have web hosting

- We won't benefit from SEO (they'll never add our link in the articles)

- We risk hurting our image by selling cheap

What are your thoughts on this? Have you tried this approach before? Any good results?

Thanks!

I prefer 4:3. I was brought up on it and it just seems right. I think a lot of the old films I watch are 4:3 anyway, unless they're 2.39:1, in which case 16:9 is hardly ideal either.

What I find really hilarious is how they sell laptops with a 16:9 screen with an OS that confiscates a wide strip at the bottom of the screen, a browser that confiscates a wide strip at the top of the screen, and then the web sites add their own massive strip of menus and crap at the top of the screen, and some cookie notice that you can't possibly agree to removes another generous strip from the bottom, so that the remaining aspect ratio for the actual content is about 9:1 and it's like peering through somebody's letterbox.

Mi kid got around the lock screen of my mac. Twice.

It was 4-5 years ago when he was about 2. I had a 15+ character random password (a generated one including symbols etc) so the chances of him being lucky were rather slim. He was just mashing button on the lock screen for less than a minute when boom, I was suddenly signed in. The first time I thought it was a fluke. Then it happened again after a couple of months. After that I took my phone, sat him behind my computer and started to record him playing with the buttons but it never happened again and my hopes of getting a bug bounty from Apple vanished :(

Disclaimer: I know next to nothing about admin-ing minecraft.

You can set an allowlist of mojang account identifiers in your server.properties.

I don't know how airtight that is, though, and I guess if you're running a public server on the default port 25565, you can expect to receive a bunch of connection attempts from people you don't know that will ultimately be unsuccessful but will take some CPU to reject (just like SSH on port 22).

It's probably less likely to receive UDP traffic on tailscale's default port these days than TCP on 25565. Even then, I would bet that it's cheaper to discard the tailscale/wireguard packets that you don't trust / aren't authenticated than it is for minecraft.jar to either fail to authn a client with mojang's servers or authenticate a client and then see that it's not in the allow list.
They always forget about all of the bugs they have not found in their new app.

They add demonstrable value to the first buyer - he got $20 back, after having gotten all the enjoyment he received from the game! And to the second buyer, who would likely get $10 back. They're more efficient than Craigslist or Kijiji, so they're able to siphon off more value to themselves, but they're popular because they provide lots of value to individual purchasers.
The average and the median are identical for a normal distribution.
No, I think the author doesn't understand how to urlencode parameters as the image URL is passed to the API like so:

curl -s https://trace.moe/api/search?url=https://foobar/baz.jpg

And in the project the URL is simply appended:

https://github.com/irevenko/what-anime-cli/blob/main/cli/lin...

The API provides both GET and POST methods of passing the image file or URL and the author has somehow mangled them both into one as well :)

> 16:9 screens are cramped — at least compared to other options. I usually can’t comfortably work in multiple windows side by side without zooming out or doing a ton of vertical scrolling, and when I’m multitasking in Chrome, the tabs get tiny very quickly.

This doesn't really add up. When working with windows side by side, horizontal space is beneficial. And the tabs in the browser will also have more space on a wider aspect ratio. You can't have it both ways - on a wider screen, you'll have more space to put windows side by side and have a lot of tabs, on a tall screen you need to do less vertical scrolling within a window.

Typical press release full of buzzwords and little substance.

You can just use the standard RGB (or any other) coordinate system, but then use data on perceptual differences to find geodesic gradients.
Important thing worth mentioning: here in the USSR in many cases electrical engineers' bonuses were paid according to the count of parts used. So there was a natural motivation to overcomplicate things.

Why not just require that it is there? Is there even a valid reason for someone to keep the extension out unless it is to give another "this is the reason X sucks" speech?
Also, look at his hands while he's talking. Doesn't seem like the hand gestures of a person feeling safe and confident in the moment of filming.
Opera used to support torrents out of the box back in 2006. Good old days.
Taiwan nor TSMC cannot produce the key tool to make this all work: The photolithography device itself.

Only ASML currently has that technology.

And it turns out, the photolithography device isn’t really a plug and play device. It’s very fussy. It breaks often. And it requires an army of engineers (as cheap as possible), to man the devices, and to produce the required yield, in order to make the whole operation profitable.

This is the Achilles’ Heel of the whole operation.

I suspect that China is researching and producing their own photolithography devices, independent of American, or western technology. And when they crack it, then they will recapture the entire Chinese market for themselves. And TSMC will become irrelevant to any strategic or tactical plans for them.
Looks really neat! I will try it out for my next ~/tmp weekend project. Meanwhile, I noticed that the link to the C# project is broken on this page https://seed.run/docs/adding-dotnet-core-projects . I wanted to try propose the change but I couldn't find the repository on your GitHub.
Google deserved it. They took the APIs out from the commercial implementation.
> It really shows how conditioned an entire community can be when they find the statement “given a list x, the first item in x is x[1], the second item in x is x[2]” to be unnatural.

It really shows how conditioned the mankind is that they call the "0th" ordinal number by the name "first". We have never moved past the phase where the concept of "zero" was heretic.

Here + offset makes SO much sense. I think we should move to use it in other contexts too. "0 steps from the start of an ordered list" "1 step from the start of an ordered list" etc.

At the moment we are using two different "scales" for measuring things and labeling orders. We could as well use the letters "A", "B", "C" for the latter, and it wouldn't change a thing. Hindsight is 20/20, but it's just a confusing mishap that we are using "numbers" and "numbers + 1" for the two purposes, where the second one could be expressed just as another "measurement", and we could get rid of the confusing "numbers + 1" scale.
> The stereotype here is that China is associated with as some dystopian backwards society that has done no favors for its citizenry

I think people are mostly just trying to figure out what is going on with one of the richest/most powerful people in the world. There's not a lot of evidence to go on, so any scrap is potentially relevant. In your view, what are the best theories for his behavior?

And this isn't just an academic or social exercise; Alibaba jumped billions due to this appearance.
When you read "inflammable", you can often, from the context, determine whether it means flammable or not. Sometimes you can't.

The same applies to the OK sign.

Flashing it surrounded by notorious racists after the 4chan hoax leaves no doubt about the intended meaning.

Also, given that's it's now been coopted by nazis, you may want to be careful when flashing it if you want to avoid embarrassing ambiguities, yes. It was probably a fad in these circles, not sure it is still used, but still.
Do you have an example? Thanks.
Have you tried 3:2? I have this on my surface book 2 and it is fantastic. It replaced 4:3 as my favorite ratio!
That copyright comment doesn't say Lua is 7 years old and I don't see how you could interpret it as such. Lua is generally considered to have been created in 1993: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lua_(programming_language)
I don't believe the X system had/has a separate protocol for screen locking, or if it does, that any of the programs implement it. So xscreensaver is just another X client that happens to draw itself full-screen on top of all other apps and grab all user input.

From the point of view of the display manager, a screensaver/screenlocker crashing is just a simple app crash. There's nothing in the protocol to suggest that this is a security failure.

Remember when Trump was elected and the #nevertrumpers rioted for days? Or was it even weeks? I don't recall.
> Do you think that if someone were to liquidate the CCP top members, plunging the country into chaos, that the Chinese would be better off?

Yes, very much so.

Your presumption is that if CPCs rule, whose rule is a chaos itself, disappears, there will be more chaos?

We are talking about immediate ruinous effects for the majority of Chinese every day communists stay in power.

The moment it stops, lawless land repossessions instantaneously stop, house confiscations stop, fake cases, and expropriations against entrepreneurs stop.

> It's easy to say "X is bad" when you don't have to care about practical consequences

Practical consequences of letting communists to stay in power are millions left destitute every year after their land, property, and businesses are stolen.
> 0-based indexing with closed intervals is better for slicing. This shouldn't be controversial.

base is irrelevant to this, and you want (and show!) half-open, not closed, intervals.

> This has two nice properties. One is that two slices are adjacent if the beginning and ends match, and the other, far more important, is that the length of the slice is end - start.

Yeah, those are all properties of half-open intervals, irrespective of indexing base. It would be as true of π-based indexing as it is of 0-based.
They haven’t drawn much attention from LE because they haven’t been a serious threat. I still don’t think they are. The Capitol security were overwhelmed by a massive protest providing cover for a large number of rioters to force their way in through unexpected routes. Those rioters were certainly a mix of malevolent and deluded but they were minimally violent considering the amount of opportunity and motive present. They should still be prosecuted, just not for terrorism. If this becomes our new bar for terrorism charges then don’t be surprised when you wind up on a no fly list and get a knock on your door after attending a protest.
