I've had my own run-ins with issues surrounding trying to use Cryptography and hitting compile troubles. A few months back I made a source distribution (sdist) of an internal Python module using Poetry and tried building an Alpine-based container that used it. Because I made a sdist, installing it required Poetry to "compile", and Poetry has a dependency chain down to Cryptography. Because Python/PyPi doesn't support musl-compiled native libraries, I found myself having to install a several hundred MB toolchain to basically copy a Python script to the correct location. I think Poetry now ships a stripped down version of its build engine that doesn't have this dependency so problem solved-ish.

Admittedly I haven't looked at the Cryptography code base to see how much it depends on native code but I wish people made a conscious effort to consider the downstream ramifications of including a particular dependency. I am the maintainer of a quasi-popular JavaScript library and I deliberately wrote my own helper functions for things like base64/UTF-8 conversion just to avoid potential issues (it's been around since 2008 so JavaScript was also a hot mess at the time).
With regards to Linux, I'm thinking about the software tools and documentation they presumably will provide.

> There are plenty of requirements in Conditional Use Permits that force entities to do things they wouldn't otherwise do themselves.

Ah, let's remove those requirements.

> For example, onsite stormwater retention and traffic mitigation.

Why do you think "entities" would not do these things without being forced? Do these "entities" not benefit from better traffic and managed stormwater?

> This assumes perfect market efficiency -- that everyone has perfect information and is perfectly rational. In my experience, that isn't the case.

OK, then let's fix that.

> Additionally, Samsung is asking for a 25 year property tax waiver. It's a negotiation.

No, it's not a negotiation. Negotiation can occur between similarly empowered entities. There is no negotiation when one side has the power to lock the other up at gunpoint.
If I had a wish, I’d love to see a user-focused Matrix client from a big company that’s not too evil like Mozilla. Heck, if Apple changed iMessages to speak Matrix, that’d be amazing. One can only dream…
I like these kind of stories. Recycling or waste management infrastructure in many countries doesn’t cope well with plastic waste. And many countries that do a good job of collection send bales back to Asia in return trip shipping containers where much of it ultimately ends up fueling coal power stations or the fate described below.

Bricks with plastic binder aren’t perfect; leachate and durability under load and abrasion are issues to be aware of.

But the alternative and predominant plastic disposal method in this and similar contexts is dumping in a ditch, in a field or in an unsealed ad hoc landfill at best, or more probably burning in a heap with whatever fallen leaves and other garbage there is that’s remotely flammable. Which results in a toxic chemical smog that persistently contaminates the air, soil and water.
On the flip side, the extra grid demand for renewable energy in optimal locations may accelerate renewable adoption. Grids and infrastructure are not free.
Yes, this is a good idea for more complicated cases.

Have you heard about how people who grew up with MP3 prefer music that's not lossless encoded but that's missing the same frequencies as in mp3 files?

It's the same, except with keyboards: if you grew up with a laptop, you want a 60% keyboard because it's "natural".

If you don't believe it, just look at /r/MechanicalKeyboards on reddit: 9/10 posts are about 60% keyboards.

No, Buckingham Palace and other “occupied” royal palaces are not part of the Crown Estate.

Ironically most proper landfills (at least in the first world) use plastic liners along with clay as part of their barriers to prevent water contamination from other trash. I am no expert - so I cannot say if the barriers put plastic in the groundwater but that method prevents more acute toxins like dioxins and oil from getting in.

Ask HN: Best Way to Air Condition Acres?
This is sort of far out there, but now that Starlink is going live, and solar is getting cheap... I feel like there’s an opportunity to buy up a lot of land in a miserable climate and... put it indoors!

Ignoring if this is a good idea or not, how would you “most efficiently” put 1 acre “indoors”? 10 acres? 100 acres? 1000?
I have a bit of experience with older verdions of DBase and Clipper and I find this extremely odd.

Can you give us a bit more details? I am genuinely curious: maybe Foxpro had some fancy reporting capabilities that made it more feasible but the only type of "book" I could imagine writing with such a tool is some sort of catalog.

I.e. each product has a page (maybe with part number, pictures and price, description, maybe standardized product templates with weight, color etc.) ... then each page is a record or collection of records... and then you somehow spit out a massive pdf to send to the printers?
QMK requires a RESET keycode to be added to your keymap in order to reboot into firmware update mode while it's running. Alternatively, depending on the configured options at compile-time, you can either hold ESC as you plug it in, or hold Space+B.

system76's launch requires the holding of ESC on bootup (well, top-left matrix position).

Under normal circumstances there's no "unattended update" functionality built in. Unsure if system76 has modified this behaviour to do so.

(Full disclosure, am a QMK maintainer)
> I don’t feel like purism is a viable alternative. it’s very expensive for what you’re getting and in all respects that i’ve heard the software is not up to par and the ecosystem is effectively non-existent.

Let's go through these.

It's basically brand new so there aren't a lot of third party apps. If you're the sort of person who loves installing the app for your Smart Toaster on your phone, you may not like this. But you get 95-99% of the value out of a phone if it can make phone calls, message people and has a web browser. Most apps are crap. They also have plans to support Android apps in the not too distant future.

The hardware is slower than similarly priced hardware. But again, does this really matter? You're not mining Bitcoin or rendering feature length motion pictures on your phone, are you?

Which leaves the price. It's high because they're still not making them in huge volumes. It means the early adopters will be people with money. But that's good; people with money attract developers etc. And once the volumes are higher the price will come down.

But this is all kind of chicken and egg. It's not impossible but it's hard and they may or may not succeed. If your point is that isn't already viable for everyone, that's certainly true.
I guess. Personally I need to use the keyboard for at least a couple of hours. Some switches that feel nice when you test them, end up being tiring for long term use.
> A planet with only mass transit is not a planet I want to live on

Pitiful strawman. I've never heard someone argue to have "only mass transit". More focus on common transports, cycling cities? Yes, please.

Of course, many like you will still fight it "to the bitter end", whatever that means.
From the looks of it they didn't steal any personal information according to what I've come across, there's always a likelihood that they managed to get it but I doubt it.

Side note, maybe all the bugs in Cyberpunk can actually be fixed by the community, I wonder if CDPR will open source these games now that it's in the hands of the public.

Edit: This article quotes the hackers saying they have other sensitive information. Its a matter of how "personal" this information is.

> Wasm has the goal of high, predictable performance for numeric-heavy, legacy-, and low-level code

The OP was porting a application that is in the class of "numeric-heavy" so he had a good profit from his endeavor, as this is a right case for it.

In the low-level class there's great cases like porting MMPEG and using it straight from the browser. Of course it will be not as usable as a native application that links to MMPEG, but it will make a lot of cool things possible.

legacy: Now for instance Adobe could port Flash to WebAssembly with probably the same result. Or we could have that sweet atari emulator right in the browser.

This is not hyped as some other point of views that see WASM as a universal IR that will take the world.

I dout a lot of Javascript and Typescript code will have major benefits into porting to WebAssembly if they dont fall into one of those three categories, so most people dont need to see it as a menace, as Javascript is still being treated as a first-class citizen in the VM's.
Ask HN: Startup employees getting nothing after acquisition, is this normal?
throwaway account for obvious reasons, but here are the facts:

- startup founded in early 2010's, took on some venture funding and recently got acquired
- startup forced employees to exercise options within 90 days of leaving company, so lots of employees exercised options with post tax dollars. I would guess anywhere from $500k - $1 million.
- all financials released to shareholders, company is now profitable and has a decent warchest.
- Series A,B,... etc investors getting some money back because they have preferred shares
- employee options/common stock are now worth nothing because of liquidation preference
- multiple executives receiving 7 figure payouts

Is this common practice? Is there anything we can do as ex-employee shareholders? Are there any instances of companies paying back their employees for the option exercises during an exit event? What would you do as a founder in this instance?
Not OP, but I swapped over to Regolith a couple of months ago on my laptop and now it's on my main workstation too. Coming from Ubunutu MATE on both. Very happy with it.

It's my first time using i3 or any tiling WM for that matter. Took about a day to get used to the basics (sane defaults), and that's mostly all I've needed so far.

My one attempt to use the dedicated installer didn't work properly so instead I installed Ubuntu and then Regolith from PPA.

Bitcoin miners are often, instead, stealing the power used to mine. We are more used to this for Monero coins, where the equipment used is fleets of hijacked PCs, but bitcoin miners using custom equipment are not less clever than Monero miners.

People are paying for the power, just not the same people as are getting the bitcoins mined with it.

This is easier to arrange in places with more retail corruption, like China, Russia, and Venezuela, than in (say) the US, where corruption is wholesale, concentrated higher up. But mining on US military bases and naval vessels, by contractors, is probably not negligible; or at commercial nuke plants where the marginal cost of generation is negligible and ratepayers have already been robbed to pay for construction. The variety of ways found to steal abstract property has always been very, very large, and bitcoin miners are not a bit shy.

We cannot assume the stolen power is all or mostly renewable. For example, we may guess that Venezuelan, Nigerian, and Saudi mining uses power from oil, Russian largely from gas, Chinese from coal.

The fraction of bitcoins mined from stolen power may be estimated by comparing the market value of new coins to the retail value of the power that was needed to produce them.

For what it's worth, this keyboard seems right up my alley. I'm currently on approximately a 60% keyboard, and I'm wary of using anything larger because I simply don't have the desk real estate for it. I have single board computers and power supplies and notepads and cables and sticky-notes coming out my ears, and going further up in keyboard size would cut down on my free space even more.

My current Keychron fits the bill nicely, and I think this System76 is right in the same vein, except with some improved flexibility. I don't need a full-sized keyboard, I just want a comfortable keyboard with dedicated PageUp/Down + Home/End keys. Plus, for whatever it's worth, I'm digging my Pop!_OS distro, so knowing that their keyboard will play nice with it is an extra bonus.
That's pretty much what Snikket is aiming to be. "XMPP" is a term for developers, and at most informing users that it's compatible with other XMPP software.

Users don't even really want to keep track of annual compliance suites, let alone XEPs. "Snikket" can stand for a consistent set of the latest XMPP features.
Interesting aside: Instant messaging on the desktop seems to be practically dead. The signal desktop client is only meant as a companion to the phone app. And now Snikket doesn't even list a desktop client. I still don't really understand how we got here and why nobody is talking about it.
thanks! I missed that, yes now it makes sense, and is in the right ballpark.
Not sure. Last time I tried was prob 2-3 years ago, and I've effectively given up now.

What if there were lots of of successful hacks and this just happened to be the outlier because an admin was online and looking at the system at the exact moment the hack occurred?

I could imagine a malicious defect in Tesla firmware that would cause all Tesla vehicles on the road to make an aggressive manoeuvre that would most likely result in a crash at the same time. So I think the potential scale for death and injury With remotely updatable vehicle firmware is large.

As I noted, I worked for a smart cities company, the consumer for a SCADA and complimenting systems are both city employees and residents. You would also be surprised at what people desire out of their local water company. Portals and online payments were very much in demand. People don't like writing checks or having to go up to the municipal buildings to pay their bills.

> What we want from water is safety.

This is a different subject altogether.

That said, the kind of pressure and pump monitoring systems I mentioned are all part of keeping water safe.
So that's a good point - however, in some recent benchmarks I've run V8 vs. JS code in GraalVM JS module, it seems that V8 does move to that optimal state fairly quickly, and 3-4 runs for a specific line of code is usually a small price to pay, given the alternative would be to use an entirely different stack, which even a decade in, barely integrates with the host environment - and - one must account for the inevitable 'bridging' costs between WASM and JS domains.

For example, some kind of 'pre optimized' 'JS engine byte code' that a regular JS engine could load as a module - which could be used by any other, regular JS code, would be considerably more optimal in terms of adapting to real world needs.

Oddly, that could probably be done right now if the world just happened to agree on a JS implementation like V8, I'm not suggesting we all do that, but at least we should be aware of the price we are paying.

I give WASM a 50/50 chance of becoming relevant, some of the new APIs may make a big difference, it remains to be seen if they do.
I don't think coronavirus hides itself in the same way? The long-lived herpes DNA folds itself up compactly inside the nerve cells, which is very unique capability specific to that type of virus. Attacking these dormant genes requires some specific molecular machinery to either keep these genes in their dormant state (current antiviral therapies), or to open and snip them up (TFA).

I'm pretty sure coronavirus reservoirs are just regular virus sitting around in parts of the body the immune system doesn't reach. Different problem.

I think it's good to be the devil's advocate. Different opinions are great to ask questions about our own.

I don't have any number, that's true. But I know that I enjoy using this system way more than any other I tried (including many "easy-to-use" Linux distros, Windows, or macOS).

As a result, when I discover this way of working, I began to participate way more in open source projects. In general, I didn't only like the result of what I was doing, I liked the way too. It changed everything for me.

I don't think we should always focus on the tools but more what we're creating with them. But if you use tools you truly enjoy using, I'm sure your productivity will increase as well.

This book is not to impose a system to anybody, it's more to dive into Linux and another way of working. That's why I explain everything in details: for anybody to shape their system and swap their tools as much as they want.
It is not claiming to be ‘the tool’, just a royalty free pattern generator that can be used in thousands+ of combinations. There are other similar tools out there and there are even open source tools that can be extended in custom ways. Only search for it, don’t expect things to come to you exactly how you want them.
That's normal and is why I count startup stock and options as $0.

One of the most important responsibilities of being privileged (in this case, having nothing to hide) is that your demands for privacy act as a buffer for those who are vulnerable.

I think of it as a sort of herd immunity against overreach. “Something to hide” isn’t implicitly bad, it’s just not something you want shared. Cory Doctorow’s take on this is “everyone knows what you do on the bathroom, they don’t mean you want it visible to everybody”

Sure I don’t have anything to hide, but if we all stand up for privacy, then we’re all protected.
I often hear the argument that one should only use the standard or in the cloud, the (OpenSource) tool specific features to be able to move anywhere else anytime.
