And ironically it was the BSDs and Solarises of the world that had more fully developed similar concepts long before they were mainstream on Linux. I'm not terribly surprised by OpenBSD's stance here, though, and even though I'm more in the Go / Linux ecosystem I can't really argue - it's an unfortunate collision of very different philosophies.

Yeah. So a bunch of shorts closed their position at maybe $50 when the price was skyrocketing, and then reopened their position at $300 or $400 (if they timed it with the peak).

I'm not sure why people expect the short interest to change at all. If shorts thought it was worth shorting at $15, they sure as hell would be shorting at $300 or $400.

Time will tell but my little finger told me that there will be plenty of losers, that the wall street people supposedly "owned" will be 100% bailed out, and that nothing of interest will change at wallstreet. The only thing that will change is that mobile trading apps will get major nerfs

> No, they didn't pitch it as a BTC or Tesla

It was a figure of speech, "we'll transform your $300 in $10000 in 2 weeks". People internally think about all the past opportunities they missed, we're talking about life changing money for a lot of people

>we've all used badly documented libraries before

Sure have, way too often. But if there's a choice, I'll pick the one with proper documentation every time (unless it's absolutely inferior of course).
This seems like a reasonable guess as to what is going on. A close call would be something like, economic collapse reducing paper money to be worthless as a consequence of the global socialist revolution, but global warming only melted the icecaps and flooded major parts of the world while leaving most places just slightly warmer. Two out of three.

The modern world is extremely far away from being a close call on this. I can't wrap my head around people that say, "well, no global socialist revolution, but people dislike Wall Street, and that's the same, I guess".
EGLStreams is not only an Nvidia thing though. For instance Google provides an implementation of it (as it's you know, an actual Khronos standard unlike GBM if I'm not mistaken) on ANGLE on windows. While GBM is purely a Linux thing.
This is a phase of every bubble: the shaming phase.

I personally think we will experience many shaming phases of various bubbles this year.

Workers don't live that long, a few months at most. It's not that surprising that a colony makes a lot of them; they're literally expendable, at least individually.
I like following WSB, been there for years as well. There has been some incredible gains for me -- AMD, NIO, and TLRY to name a few. They were spotted early by the sub, it's up to the individual to decide when they want to exit their trade.
Correlation is not causation. I don’t see anything on that list that is a consequence of the license.
There are still people who uninstall pulseaudio, because "bloat" and then harass authors of audio applications to support their snowflake system.

The forced PA brought some pain. but it forced swift improvement in audio drivers. Without it, we would still have half-buggy drivers that do not really work.

Regarding Nvidia: all distributions that switched to Wayland default switched that only for supported hardware, so Nvidia users are still getting X11. I don't expect Ubuntu doing it differently.
Yes, and it is about to die.

Wayland could have been executed better to ease adoption, no doubt. More than anything momentum is required, which we arguable are beginning to see.

The question today isn't X vs. Wayland. It is Wayland vs. Y. Whatever Y is.
What does this gui bring over the one in manjaro?
The FHS really only makes sense when you use Linux as traditionally intended as a multi-user system.

Most uses of Linux are single-user, running as a server, or even more just a container.
Yeah, nothing (well except for amphetamines) works better than a 260 km/h autobahn ride to work for my before-noon focus. I had absolutely no idea why I felt so pushed to drive fast for years before I got diagnosed... Nowadays I don't drive much, the amphetamines work better and I don't want to try driving while on them, that could end badly.
I mean things have kept on up until this point I see no point in worrying about it falling apart tomorrow for as long as some people are still hacking at things things'll keep getting hacked at. If it ever does stop chugging along at some point it's unfortunate but not something you were owed by some developer yet didn't get. On the other hand if new things keep coming out you can use for free that's great.

Maybe something will drop off but you'll want to come in and support it while you find it worthwhile, that's all anyone else is doing too.
Its a merkle tree.
Indeed. It was actually a great system that sat somewhere between email and IM in its usage on campus. The Windows and Mac clients had notifier processes that would signal the client to poll if the server alerted them to new messages. It made messages appear nearly instantly which they did not back in the POP/IMAP time-based polling days.
The way I see it the bet was about the statement that the drivers for the war were already there in 1995 and that it would actually materialize in the 25 years before 2020 - which it (IMHO obviously) has not. The struggle is still there, but a society-shattering escalation of the conflict has not happened (yet?).

The observation that "the rich and powerful have convinced the lower classes to attack each other instead of them" seems like a reasonable tactic for the society (or the rich) to prevent such a war from occurring, and this might plausibly succeed for a prolonged time in the future - as you say, "successfully driven in dividing lines" that are long-lasting. I see Kirkpatrick Sale's position as essentially claiming that the tensions are stronger than the societal bonds that favor status quo and centralization, that these tensions can cause a society to collapse - and the last 25 years have shown the opposite, that an increase in these tensions is still tolerable and does not lead to a collapse.
Tell us, learned friend, what is the average CT recorded on positive tests today? And what is the false positive rate of those tests? I'll give you a hint - it's less than 30, and about 0.005%. So why, pray tell, is CT such an important attack point against testing?

Bringing up CT is just a smokescreen to try to discredit the idea that there is a pandemic. So please stop.
> they got away with this because I am not us-citizen

Uhm... most of the US is at-will employment, which means they can and do terminate people at any point in time with absolutely no reason necessary what so ever.

There is 0 protection for employees in the US (in most cases).

This is not like Europe at all where there are rules around how you can fire people and legal requirements that need to be met.
Do try it out. All the needs have been taken care of and the cheapest tool I have ever seen.
No, trust is a very easy problem. Online trust with people that you have not had any previous real life contact with is a hard problem. Which is why I still put a premium on meeting people irl.
> Software whose functioning mistreats the user is called malware

Hmm, well based on that super broad definition, sure, proprietary software is "often malware". But usually "malware" is understood to mean software that exploits vulnerabilities in a computer system, not merely software with DRM, paywalls, banners, ads, etc.

I think GNU might need to pick a different term here than "malware" unless they are intentionally fear mongering to get the free software conversation going.
Bose ain't held in some high regard in hifi community neither. They have good active noise cancellation, and marketing. But that's about it. Quality of reproduction is subpar in the price level.

These days there are many other aspects to using headphones, ie as you mention how things work over bluetooth. Or comfort (which alone would kill these for me, even if they would be properly great in everything else). Or various signalling with purchases.

Anyway as long as everybody is happy with what they have all is good.
It's funny that in the case of systemd both the scenario and hence also the complaints were the complete opposite. Namely that systemd does everything, that in an idealistic world should have been decoupled from the core. (Which was also FUD since the internals actually are decoupled and work alone).
I may be incorrect but I believe that data is somewhat outdated from the previous FINRA short interest report; it looks like the next report is due to be shared today, Tuesday Feb. 2 at 6-PM and the next on the 9th.

So, we'll potentially see if that is indeed the case either tonight or on the 9th which I believe will have the most recent data as the one this evening will already be outdated.

Show HN: A better way to learn Python
I'm curious as to whether or not you've studied the implications of executing certain 3rd party tags from a server side context.

I work in ad-tech, and we rolled out a feature much the same as this almost 4 years ago now. The issue is that many tracking scripts rely on 1st party signals (and seemingly, ips) for end-users to capture the full value of their use. Facebook and GAds specifically perform quite poorly when executed in a 3rd party context. Not that they don't track, but that they're often unable to attribute the event to the correct (or any) user. This works against efforts like re-targeting and optimization. In FB's case, their own server-side attribution solution has a "match rate", which in practice is quite low for any event that does not include 1st party information. FB cookies are only available for a subset of active customers as well.

What has been your experience w/ these things?
You would probably find yourself asking similar questions a lot in OpenBSD land - they're very committed to stability and security even if it means forfeiting many modern features. As I say in another comment, wanting to run Go on OpenBSD the way it does on Linux is a collision of very different philosophies. Hard to say one is wrong, but if they want to coexist one of them would eventually have to compromise, and it was never going to be OpenBSD in the end.
Chiming in with the "as a documentation writer, this seems great to me." I gave a talk at the Bay Area Rust Meetup in 2013 that laid out a similar framework, specific to Rust. http://steveklabnik.github.io/rust_documentation/#/

This is much cleaner and not specific to a programming language. Gonna save this link for sure.
If you only allow incomming traffic to sshd, and require ssh-key login (no password login), fail2ban will likely only add complexity, not security.
ELI5: Utreexo – A Scaling Solution
I'd like to try NixOS, but from what I've seen, there are still a lot of issues trying to run it as a daily driver on a laptop.

Has that been your experience?

With Ubuntu, Debian, and even Arch, it's pretty much install and go.

Also, it requires significant disk space, which I usually don't have on my laptops.
I started learning Python recently and thought I’d share a project that I’ve been working on to teach myself Python in the process. Basically it’s just simple quick step by step interactive lessons. Hopefully anyone learning python can find it useful as well.

Currently I just have the “Syntax Intro” module created and working on completing the rest when I can. I want to improve the lessons quite a bit and make them more engaging and unique. Some of them are pretty lacking.

In the future, if enough people are interested, I would love to add in user accounts and have a much more structured learning journey for each user. My goal is to incorporate intelligent quizzes and flashcards for each module that is tailored to the user and where they need the most help. I also want to look at incorporating spaced repetition that automatically reminds and tests your knowledge at specific intervals like 1 day, 3 days, or 7 days based on how easy or difficult a lesson was.

I’m just trying to build this so I can learn Python as well. Building each lesson helps me understand the topic at a much deeper level. There’s still lots of work, bugs, and styling to fix but I wanted to share with this subreddit first. So if you’re interested then follow along the journey! This is a pretty epic project so I named this project to reflect that. Check it out:

They (government) will probably have to regulate these techniques as though they were WMDs, along with other ML tools. "Oh another absolutely perfect fake of $powerful_person calling for $atrocity[n]". Fomenting FUD in a rival's populace seems to be a game of mutually assured destruction. Incidentally, those nations with unfree comms laws and culture are best defended against these techniques, though I would not advocate for bringing in federal censors.
Well, disruption often starts at the low end. That's what ARM has been doing.

This is kinda what motivated Intel's Itanium architecture. You should look into that to see why what you're proposing makes sense, but hasn't gotten traction.

Occupy wallstreet was 2011, it ended with the narrative switching from class warfare to critical race theory and systemic racism. Gamergate was 2014 when the culture war really started to heat up. 08 was a different time, things have really changed that much.
Don't want to discourage you too much, but even non-contract employees in most states are subject to "at-will employment" that means they can fire you no reason at any time with few or no considerations. If your "frame of reference" is anywhere in the EU prepare to be shocked. A while back, I was asked to resign like 10 days before $40K of options vested. Talked to an employment attorney (a good one) and they said there is basically nothing you can do about it.
While I agree, that support for popular apps is a problem for platform, it doesn't mean that the platform will freeze for every snowflake app.

Apple for example regularly uses pressure from users on app authors to drive improvements in their platform. I don't see why Linux distributions should flip backward to keep their platform static, to the detriment of their long term development.
It depends on how you define "malware". This defines malware as "Software whose functioning mistreats the user".

I understand the point that's trying to be made. People use software because it provides value to them. I certainly have used or seen software that's abusive (anti-virus/malware products are pretty bad in this respect), and I don't use them.

Unfortunately, proprietary software generally has much more funding and thus can create a much better product than open source alternatives. A recent example for me was looking for an alternative to Lightroom Classic. I found a few different open source projects that replicated different aspects of Lightroom, but not provided the full feature set combining library management with raw editing.

The question then comes down to, how much privacy am I willing to sacrifice to get the extra value?

The answer to this question will be different for different people. As people become more and more privacy focused, we see additional pressure on companies that provide proprietary software to improve privacy in their applications.

See the protocol extension I linked, there are absolutely exceptions and escapes that can fall back on the X11 way of doing things, and could even work with such X11 client isolation, but somebody would have to take the time to actually design and implement them and figure out how to get them to work with the security model used by the Wayland implementations. That is really the problem, it's only an implementation detail if you choose to do it by hacking the X server or you choose to make a new D-Bus API for it, or whatever. (i.e. there is no real reason XWayland needs extra extensions, it could call a D-Bus API if necessary, and that may even be desirable because the D-Bus API would be forward-compatible with newer Wayland applications)
Was security implementation ever proven itself for Telegram? I remember reading a lot of threads on HN a few years back about how it wasn’t considered secure/kosher. I moved on and haven’t really followed the cryptography space.
That might explain the USA part of the arsenal, but it can't be the whole explanation because that would not work for USSR. And, since whatever was the reasons for USSR, it most likely also applied to USA as well, reducing the need to pin it all on commercial interests.

The Kurdish ethnic minority was severely persecuted in Turkey. At Turkey's pressure, Microsoft refused to add Kurdish language to Windows until Windows 10, despite languages with far fewer speakers being in Windows. This made Windows complicit in Turkey's cultural genocide against the 3 million people who speak only Kurdish. In above and many other situations, the character of “proprietary” limits human rights.

Ubuntu GNU/Linux was the first OS to support Kurdish.

Don't forget when Apple removed Hong Kong protest safety apps from the app store.
I used to think it would be a holy mess of symlinks. Spinned up live image in a VM and pleasantly surprised. For compatibility there are traditional /bin but its a symlink to /System/Index/bin, which contains links to actual executables in respective /Programs directory.

I wonder why its such a niche distro, with time this should have caught on and be more popular!

There actually exist bluetooth adapters for wired headphones. Unfortunately, they haven’t tracked as much hype and attention as wireless headphones. But we all know that irrational customer behavior is the foundation of modern consumerist economy.

So, Buy It For Life (and Hand It Down To Your Kids) strategy is elitist in the same way having the basic understanding of thermodynamics is - only a very small amount of people have and appreciate those ideas.
It could also be the case the human mind transcends computation, i.e. a transfinite, yet limited, halting oracle, and as such is logically impossible to reduce to a Turing machine. To insist this is not the case merely based on materialism is begging the question. It is a very simple and formally rigorous point, but gets obscure by high fallutin philosophical language like "reductionism".
Most users don't know the difference, to either of those statements. For them "the internet is broken".

So GNOME doesn't support your precious use-case, but it works perfectly fine for most users without server-side decorations.

That's finance!

What's really fun is that Alice and Charlie may not even know that they've lent their stock. Their broker, having a substantial amount of the stock pooled across all accounts they manage, may lend it out and still let Alice and Charlie trade their "share" -- since if Alice wants to sell, the broker can always sell on of the other shares from their pool. As long as the broker keeps a decent amount of shares still in their possession, and as long as all accountholders don't try to liquidate at the same time, it's fine. Even if you DID try to liquidate your position and whoopsie, the broker actually lent out all their shares and there are none left for them to sell, the broker could buy your share obligation with cash and you wouldn't know the difference between that and selling it to another shareholder.

This is the type of thing that gets some people's back up. It all sounds very "precarious" as you say. There is a reaction that says, whoa, that's way too complicated and abstracted, this whole thing is a house of cards just waiting to collapse. But it's kind of like a long-lived piece of software, which accumulates complexity from the need to deal with a complex world. Only new programmers have the urge to tear it all down and start from scratch -- because old programmers have found that the "new" system ends up reinventing the complexity of the old as it discovers the same problems and missing features of the "simple" approach. Today you see this happening with cryptocurrency.

I figure it's a tradeoff. Speed and cost vs. lifespan.

(Effectively) Irreplacable batteries already limit the lifespan of many consumer devices to 3-4 years, so why limit the capabilities of the hardware to get a few years that won't be usable anyways… is how I imagine those conversations going.
