It’s the most secure way to do it, which unfortunately requires the most energy... I have gone back and forth when considering PoS but fact of the matter is, PoW is the most secure today. Doesn’t mean there isn’t a better solution, so I totally agree that we need to try to find ways to trim the energy cost.
> You can for the most part just convert the LLVM bitcode that the Rust compiler would output to the equivalent C snippet.

Sounds like a good argument to resurrect the LLVM C backend. As it stands, the Rust core team has no desire to implement a C backend, as it would be a ton of work for not much gain.
This is essentially how science grants work. The state awards some money for science in general and allots it to a few agencies to distribute, who then use practicing scientists to figure out who deserves it. How does anyone determine whom is a practitioner of a given art? It's some interplay between demonstrated objective skill and practitioner consensus.

I'm proposing a gentler version of that that would be open to more people.

What you are describing is corruption and would be illegal.

I would also note that public support of the arts is nothing new. This is simply a generous expansion that qualitatively changes the relation of artists to markets and to the public.

What about when there is a huge length of time between the plan and the final execution? Do you just not let yourself think about it after the 7th breath? In the context of the hagakure, I suppose it would apply to battle strategy?

Haxe is my favorite programming language. Haxe's macro system is so incredibly powerful that after using it, it makes me cringe every time I have to work with templates in C++. Haxe macros are basically "template meta-programming", but with a lot more power and none of the hideous syntax and error messages. I think the closest parallel in the world of C++ is Circle (https://www.circle-lang.org/).

A Haxe macro is just regular Haxe code with the same syntax and same standard library, except it runs at compile time, and it can operate on the AST of your program. They're like shaders, but for your compiler.

One of the coolest demos of Haxe macros imo (even though it's dumb) is where you can add code completion to your IDE via a URL (https://code.haxe.org/category/macros/completion-from-url.ht...). It works because the macro generates static fields for a class using data it downloads from the URL, and because the Haxe compiler provides a completion server, any IDE with Haxe support will automatically pick up the new fields and present them in a standard completion pop-up/drop-down menu. Just imagine the things you could do with something like that!

Unfortunately, Haxe never seems to get the attention it deserves. The sad fact is that the vast majority of developers are never going to try a new language or technology on their own unless their employer tells them to, or there is some viral article that reaches everyone, and makes it seem like the second coming of Javascript. Additionally, the Haxe foundation never seemed to take much interest in promoting the language. They do have funding, and they organize events/meetups every year, so it doesn't seem like they're going away anytime soon.

Oh well, such is life. People might not think I'm cool when I tell them I know Haxe, but at least I have Haxe!
I'm not a fan of the economic incentives of Proof of Stake. Are there any new alternate proof systems that have been developed recently?

The point being that no rights holder, in their right mind would prospect someone for this, in the same way that they don't go after people walking around with boomboxes.

There might be a crazy example if this happening once. But mostly nobody gets prosecuted for walking around playing music on their phone.
You can write anything in VBA, (the horror...the horror) and Power Query also seems to be a complete more or less functional programming language. So I believe Excel was Turing complete for almost 30 years and doubly so for a significant part of the last decade. There might be more languages lurking in there somewhere.

> re: alerting telemetry - I'm not finding photos to cite right now, but I've absolutely seen "infrastructure" buildings (here in rural Ohio) with warning annunciators (lights and bells) on their exteriors along with signs reading "If this light is flashing call xxx." It's definitely a viable system for alerting.

I can confirm these exist, as growing up my father's phone number was on a some of those signs. Fancy systems would automatically call an answering service, but for smaller ones, he'd get a call (or page, given the era), usually from a neighbor or something.

It wasn't limited to rural areas either. I distinctly remember him taking service calls in ultra-wealthy neighborhoods on the weekends. One time, the gentleman who called in let my sister and I watch movies in his personal movie theater while my dad fixed the system.
I'm not advocating for that, if that's what you're implying.

There is an (appointed) upper house in Canada and the UK at least, that in theory can act as a check on parliament.

In the real world, separate from theory, the Westminster system seems to have evolved into something far less vulnerable to authoritarianism than the US system. Constant partisan conflict and strife and culture wars down there seem to have yielded a degraded democracy, with the presidency assuming many trappings of a monarchy.

At least the Crown is a symbolic monarchy without real power. I remember being absolutely flabbergasted with the
bizarrely reverent way Americans talks about Bush when bombing commenced on Iraq and Afghanistan in the early 2000s; the concept of a "commander in chief" and the general marshal tone of US politics around the executive are quite baffling. But I suppose it makes sense given that the first president was a general.

You have widely adopted methodologies like agile that tell you to ignore bugs. Keep writing code, keep moving forward. Dojos to work on some of the back log, but keep moving forward.

This is the same problem I have with capitalism. The end result is never good enough. Why not perfect one thing? There's a reason why so much software has lasted decades and it isn't because it gets a daily update.

Well they are not taking initiative at work, so I thought doing an entirely different task may create another dynamic. But you are correct that I don’t expect myself to be more fun than the next guy, especially a boss. The question remains for me, how can I give them ownership of what is happening, because we are not going to grow if they don’t own things.

But maybe that is why I went entrepreneur. I just see the missed potential for everyone, and if I wanted to grow bigger, maybe they are the wrong “first employees”.
That's what I used to think, but with the increasing tensions and polarization I'm not entirely sure anymore. Well, my perception is that the UK is not as divided as the US is, but if it were, then a Queen picking a side and wielding her powers might see the side she picked cheer her on.

Oh, no. They were spotted. Afterwards. I am not talking about hearsay or "journalism". There was a thread with several tens of thousands of upvotes and someone innocently said to the effect of "that sounds almost like one of those worshippers of the orange god..." and another person said (paraphrasing) "it literally IS, they are an antivaxxer and EVERYTHING, just check their posting history". They were not lying.

That doesn't prove any particular percentage of the newcomers were, but when you see one like that...

But I say again, I believe this was an effect of the articles, not the cause.

You could develop both a protocol and a product that implements that protocol. That might be able to make it used much more than otherwise. People can write their own implementation if they do not want the official one. You might have some optional features (which might be more complicated ones), that it can also be used without, in case the user does not want them, or if an alternative implementation does not include them. (There is no need to advertise this, although it should be documented.)
It astonishes me how many people still believe in unregulated markets when stories like this are on the front page of HN daily. Is there any amount of evidence that would convince people who still believe they are efficient or useful?

Ask HN: Best way to create a Reverse Karaoke Engine?
Basically, I want to interleave musical notes and vocals. I want to take the vocals, apply pitch correction and then appropriately add guitar, piano ,drum and other instruments harmoniously. Not in a preset way. What is the best way I can approach going about building this. Most of the software for music don't have APIs or command line interface. They are executables that run on the computer.
There are software projects that get posted once in a while on HN that are on a completely different level of quality, whether it's product, UX, or tech. This is one of those posts.
You missed a key point that the SDL author raised--they're tired of maintaining all the ancillary software around a project. Every minute they waste troubleshooting a CI/CD failure, bugzilla limitation, etc. is a minute taken away from working on their actual project. And as this is an OSS project of love and not their full-time job it's even more infuriating for them to waste their free time janitoring services.

Gitlab self hosted is fantastic, but it's far from 'set it and forget it' maintenance. There's significant technical overhead to keeping it updated, secure, migrating its database with major releases, scaling out the underlying hardware as project demands increase, etc. Moving to a hosted platform like Github solves those problems and gets them back to being productive on their project.

The authors are really lamenting that they have to give up control of their project's source code and tie themselves to a new commercial offering (something that history has shown us over and over will inevitably lead to more technical debt in the future as platforms fade--just ask any former sourceforge, google code, etc. user).

I don't blame them--it's sad to see that the state the art in self-managed OSS source code never progressed much beyond "become a domain expert in server operations and kludge together a suite of tools with wildly different UI, management and operations; also, documentation is non-existent or wildly out of date".
What you describe, adding the DNS TXT record for DKIM, is just the icing on the cake. It's way more work and complex at postfix (+rspamd to sign or whatever) level. Suggesting that you can just,

>Hostgator -> cPanel -> Email Authentication

...is ignoring 99% of the complexity and long term maintainance that DKIM implies.

And why bother? It's not like the mega-corp walled gardens care if you have the perfect mailserver implementation. They'll mark you as spam or blacklist you anyway, because they can, because it's easier, because it's a job someone's doing for profit and you don't effect that.

No. An SPF record is enough for determining if mail is legitimately from it's real mailserver. DKIM is cargo cult nonsense for most cases. A sacrifice to the google/microsoft/apple gods to hopefully earn their favor, but one that is almost always ignored anway.
There are definitely cases where playing music violates the license, but I wouldn't call it illegal[1]. Playing music at some business almost certainly is not allowed by default, you'd probably need to get a permission from someone authorized to give you one (i.e. a different license). Playing music in public likely has similar rules.

A public performance would be in violation of civil law rather than criminal law. But if you're being pedantic you could argue that, yes, it was technically illegal.

Yeah, libsdl2 is built around more modern rendering devices and drawing APIs, and supports far fewer (but more popularly used) platforms. And is vastly faster on those platforms than SDL1.2 used to be, since it’s playing to the strengths of those modern devices, instead of fighting against them the way that SDL1.2 did.

Do note that libsdl2 can emulate framebuffer-style “I just want to splat pixels to the screen”-style program architectures just fine using “streaming” textures [0], but that’s not going to help you if it doesn’t support your platform.

If you need broader platform support and/or are running on low-power devices, then libsdl1.2 is still around and supported, and is probably a more appropriate choice for such projects.

It seems fair that the monarch would have some influence over laws that affect them (especially farther back in the past). It seems reasonable for the king to be able to veto an act of Parliament that unilaterally confiscates the king's lands and/or income. How far that the veto should extend is a matter of policy, but the veto itself is not a sign of corruption.

The main take away I see is a reorg/consolidation of their processes:

> GlobalSign has concluded there are too many procedural and technical gaps in the current process to prevent incorrect CA configuration occurring in the future and has decided to halt the provisioning of new CA in the GCC platform until 31/03/2021, this in order to fully rebuild the CA request, creation and provisioning process. Whereas the previous process could be considered fragmented (with different tickets and information depending on the team that had to execute a specific sub-action) we will be building a new flow that consolidates all required information and actions into a single process, with additional steps in terms of compliance oversight and a hard compliance approval step prior to putting a new CA into production / issuing state. We will share the details of the new process 16/02/2021 and will complete implementation before 31/03/2021. CA provisioning on the GCC platform will only resume after the implementation of the new process has been successfully completed.
A great list. Not to detract from the awfulness of his fathers death, mesolithioma can happen because you stood too close to somebody cutting construction boards or drilling a fibro-cement roof, or working on a stone bench. It is indeed possible it was 9/11 but it's equally likely it stems from a long forgotten childhood incident in a home many years downstream.

Or, wartime service, with asbestos used on ships for pipe lagging. Or, at university, like mine in Yorkshire which hurriedly removed fireproof linings from the student halls in every bedroom cupboard.

I discussed this with an epidemiologist on the Australian army war compensation health board, relating to rates of testicular and other cancers in ww2 vets: they were unsure if it was more than ubiquitous smoking, but were confident the vets were encouraged to smoke with free cigarettes on tap from the PX and the state had a vicarious liability. Basically these kinds of cancers can be a crap shoot of age, gene expression and circumstances.

But.. overall: great advice. I hope I can pass on a list like this when my time comes (59yo)

Note that (opened in LibreOffice but I assume this isn't a document compat issue) the URLs all start https// but should begin https:// instead. They're links into crt.sh which is a public view into the contents of the Certificate Transparency Logs, although they've also baked the certificate serial numbers into these links so if crt.sh goes away you can rewrite them as queries for any other system.

It looks like an expected long tail, most of them were probably issued only days or weeks after the codes used should have expired (in 2017).

What made this one jump out was the use of a 1024-bit RSA key. When it was really ordered that would be completely normal, but even in 2017 it would have been obviously prohibited, I have looked at a few of the other 112 and they're unextraordinary, typically 2048-bit RSA keys, likely originally ordered earlier in 2017.

It would be useful (perhaps I will ask on m.d.s.policy) to know what the actual original order dates were for the 112 certificates in this list.
Not a stretch, considering this is their intent. See in particular the 2nd point from 17 U.S. Code § 101 - Definitions

To perform or display a work “publicly” means—
(1) to perform or display it at a place open to the public or at any place where a substantial number of persons outside of a normal circle of a family and its social acquaintances is gathered; or
(2) to transmit or otherwise communicate a performance or display of the work to a place specified by clause (1) or to the public, by means of any device or process, whether the members of the public capable of receiving the performance or display receive it in the same place or in separate places and at the same time or at different times.

Camden NJ, in 2013? They hired back most of the officers who were fired when the department became a division of the county police. They went through more training, psych profiling, and then put more officers on the streets and implemented a broken windows policy to get the murder rate under control, which later was rolled back after protests.

That is nothing like what is being suggested here. The police haven't been abolished yet, but only because nobody can agree on what to have instead.

Most common suggestions are to have neighborhood watch, plugs social workers to be dispatched for most crimes- unless a gun is held to someone's head, there are city board members suggesting that police shouldn't be dispatched at all. Even in cases of rape, they're saying that social workers are better suited to "deescalate if necessary and to deal with the emotional trauma".

This is what the "abolish" advocates around here are pushing for- "abolish" not "start over with new offices in the same capacity as the old ones".
I think the political situation/crisis in Belgium have little to do with the position of the monarch, and more with the somewhat unique situation of Belgium. It's a small deeply divided country; many of the top parties in the 2019 election participated only in the Dutch or French regions. While regional parties aren't unique to Belgium (e.g. SNP in Scotland), the way the votes are split between the two regions is a pretty big problem, and much of the disagreement stems from which list (Dutch or French) people in BHV could vote. This is an issue that goes back to the country's founding in various forms.

I think the symbolism of the state (in this case embodied by the monarch, but it doesn’t have to be a monarch) as a separate entity from the “government” is very appealing. In this way, you can have certain offices that work for the state and others that work for the government. The state/crown side would be apolitical whereas the government side would be politically appointed. But it would be helpful to have the two sides explicitly separated to have minimal interference.

I have no idea if this is how the British monarchy works in practice, rather just the view from my side of the pond. In the US, we have the concept of career vs political positions in government agencies, but in practice, there is a great risk of interference between the sides.
