This idea was indeed my first approach, but favicons on the client side cannot be loaded from the F-Cache via JavaScript, but are ALWAYS requested from the server via get-request, which fortunately thus does not allow fingerprinting. ~jonas
Nostalgia. 80s PCs are quite expensive now. One very annoying thing with emulation running on a host os like Linux is that the boot phase typically takes a lot of time.

Another nice approach would be a boot speed-optimized buildroot image running PCem, along with some TV-like GUI for configuration. https://pcem-emulator.co.uk/

I think this PC emulator needs more attention. Its strategy of emulating the speed of a very slow CPU hits a good middle ground - you don't need cycle accurate emulators when emulating 80s/90s PCs, because they were all a bit different, but unlike DOSBox, there's an attempt to get the basics right given a specific target CPU.
I'm confused as to who your comment is meant to address - the author describes how she pursued that consensus aesthetic, under guidance from various trainers that adhere to it. Her placement in competition isn't the point or the essay - the focus is on introspection about the thoughts that lead her to bodybuilding, the history of the sport that lead to the particular "consensus aesthetic" that she crossed paths with, and reflections on the toll that adherence takes on body and mind.

I found the tone remained neutral to admiring despite laying bare its rather gruesome flaws and crass backers, so if it reads as an indictment, I think it says more about the realities of the sport than the author's priorities.
In 2017 SpaceX was granted a window to "lock down" its proposed slots for 9 years to prevent others from taking those slots, and that was years before they even had a single satellite flying. I don't see why Amazon shouldn't be given the same treatment.
I'm pretty sure that gun suicides outnumber gun homicides by ~2:1, and gun homicides outnumber accidents by ~30:1. Estimates for accidents are in the 500/year range, while homicides are closer to 15,000/year.
Testosterone is popular among women as well. Injections are in general safer than oral (because of liver health). Most women start with Anavar though as the risk of developing masculine features is reduced with it and the pill form makes it more palatable for many beginners.

Most fitness girls/celebs/models probably stop at Anavar as keeping feminine features is very important for them.

There is even a term for it in the fitness world. "Anavar girls". It's widely popular.

Scientists find male praying mantises taking a stand against cannibal females
"Female praying mantises of many species cannibalize their mates, who often have no defence against their large and aggressive partners.

But a new study by Nathan Burke, a postdoctoral research fellow in biological sciences at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, has found that that is not always the case. The male Springbok mantis can be the aggressor, and does what it takes to win the fight in order to successfully mate - and survive."
Yes, and it's not wrong. In the US, 21% of GDP is from finance, which is materially non-productive, and this sector was growing at 6% pre-pandemic.

The use of finance is, at least in theory, it's ability to provide growth to productive sectors. When you're seeing finance being one of the primary drivers of growth by itself, whereas productive sectors don't grow, this indicates that you're lagging behind in your capacity to actually produce value.

To note, this isn't just an "interview with a Marxist". Michael Hudson has a PhD in economics and is a professor of economics at the Univeristy of Missouri. He's a classical economist, that happens to use some elements of Marxian economics too.

I have had some thoughts that even though the NRA is no longer the organization I want, it's name-awareness serves a purpose. I hadn't thought of it serving another purpose by "drawing the fire" so to speak.

It will be interesting to see how things shake out as the NRA falls by the wayside. Unfortunately it's hard to remove the threat to the things I value from the situation, so I can't look at it passively.
It would be interesting to generate HTML as an output. This way it could inline text files, images (data URI), videos, audio and other files as <a href="data:application/octet-stream;base64,... download="filename.ext" ... You could get mime types from file(1) not to put octet-stream everywhere.

Because of Federalism, when the organization closes shop in NY, that's it for suing the organization. If the individuals committed crimes, they will be held accountable.

Also, the whole topic is political. Sorry if that offends you. I'm not sorry if you have a problem with my tone. I have a problem with the tone of almost every comment on HN. Get over it.

New York is trying to sue an entity that decided to close up shop instead of being sued into non-existence. The point of the "unprecedented disclosures" from TFA is so that the state can discover if individuals have broken laws while in NY State; they can be pursued across state lines. But if it was only the organization that is liable under state law, the new Texan organization won't be liable.

That's how I understand this, anyway. IANAL either.
Home mortgages are more complicated, but at the end of the day, all transactions are based on real money. The 500k that the seller receives comes from the bank. The 500k that the bank receives comes from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. When Freddie Mae and Freddie Mac start running out of money, then the Fed will loan them money of buy equity from them.
I'm not sure I follow, but is that questioning whether it's on-topic for HN? If so, worth a quick recheck of the guidelines.

The best is if there is a security team at your current role that needs help, which you could transfer to, or even unofficially help out.

There are lots of different types of computer security jobs. Lots are really boring compliance jobs (i mean, some people are into that, all the power to you, if that's what they like). From a corporate perspective security is all about risk management, some aspects of risk management is covering your ass, so make sure the security position aligns with what you want to actually do.

> I've read that OSCP certification

That might be a good starting place. Just be careful about relying too much on certs, about 95% of them are bullshit, they definitely don't replace real world experience, and its a major red flag to have a resume with like 10 different certs on it.

I'm glad that this was a relatively serious article: the author had a problem, tried audio (actually: tried to mostly eliminate the phone), and described how effective it was. Great.

I also use my watch in ways the author does (though not to as extreme degree!) and do find it handy. But for me it's a convenience feature when my hands are full or I'm literally on the run. I was impressed by the level of effort described.

That being said: the idea of an audio-first future horrifies me. Audio and video are quite linear while a text article (like this post) are much easier to skim, read closely, and hop back to reread something. It can also be read in much less time than voice would take.
I might be wrong, but for the most part, is this just an American issue? big Pharma, Big Tobacco, Big Tech, Big Sugar, etc? Europe has less international heavyweight companies, true, but also doesn’t seem to be in the grips of cartels anywhere near as much as the US.

Maybe I’m just being oblivious...

Yes, the only real advantage over zip files seems to be the parameter substitution. I’d rather build that on top of the zip format, which supports extension by custom fields, and provide a wrapper around zip/unzip that adds the substitution functionality. Users of regular zip could still use the zip files then, just without automatic substitution.

From the page linked by the OP:

*FreedomBox is a community project to develop, design and promote personal servers running free software for private, personal communications. It is a networking appliance designed to allow interfacing with the rest of the Internet under conditions of protected privacy and data security. It hosts applications such as blog, wiki, website, social network, email, web proxy and a Tor relay, on a device that can replace your Wi-Fi router, so that your data stays with you.

This module, called FreedomBox Service and also know as Plinth, is the core functionality and web interface to the functions of the FreedomBox. It is extensible and provides various applications of FreedomBox as modules. Each module or application provides simplified user interface to control the underlying functionality. As FreedomBox can act as a wireless router, it is possible to configure networking. It also allows configuration of basic system parameters such as time zone, hostname and automatic upgrades.

You can find more information about FreedomBox Service (Plinth) on the Plinth Wiki page, the FreedomBox Wiki and the FreedomBox Manual.*
> Yes, baremetal, the only way to guarantee performance!

Single function bare metal, that is. At which point, the boring functional naming scheme re-applies easily.

If you're running multiple different functions on a single box, how are you guaranteeing any performance for any single function? How does that differ from using a hypervisor with similar limiting features?
> I don't know why mom daughter conflict is singled out as special here.

Then you didn't read before responding. As I said, there are issues of mothers' vs. fathers' roles, female self-perception, family court, etc. Each combination of mother/father and son/daughter plays out differently. Is it so hard to believe that conflict within one combination might lead to divorce more often than conflict in others? My experience leads me to believe that - through no fault of their own - mother/daughter relationships are more fraught than others. Maybe that's not true, but "they're all the same" is even more clearly not true.
You sure? I’d love it if it were like you say. I imagine a dedication to an authoritative strain. Like champagne or parmigiano reggiano. I heard bananas today are completely unlike bananas of the past.

I think it’s more a problem of technology enabling massive economies of scale so the big players can always be the lowest price. And also technology is so complicated that few have the resources to be able to compete. Even Intel struggles with TSMC, and how many different teams of people are there in the world that can make fabs?

If the Starlink business model depends on them having a monopoly of this kind of service - it shouldn't be a privately owned service. Hopefully it can stay private though - that typically allows for much greater development velocities. Maybe we just need to trust the FCC to do the right thing? :/

I tried using these multiple times (I even know a contributor to this endeavour) but I always struggled with what the scope should be.

For a little bit of context, I work with server architecture in a role that used to be defined as sysadmin, then devops and now SRE.

But there’s many decisions a day and there is a huge trade off in having many records (which become essentially write-only as nobody will trawl through) or too few (which leave some gaps or become very large).

Has anyone found a good threshold for what should be a new ADR from an ops perspective.
I'm interested in those kind of software related processes documentation approaches. If you have other similar things I would be happy to check them out.
The weirdest naming scheme for computers I've seen is the one used some years ago by my college: It named Linux workstations after Linux kernel committers' email usernames!

There were the better-known folks like linus (Linus Torvalds [1]) and gregkh (Greg Kroah-Hartman [2]), but also relatively more obscure people, like shemminger (Stephen Hemminger [3]) and stelian (Stelian Pop [4]).

I didn't recognize most of those names at the time, but now that I do, I wonder what those people would have thought about having a large organization's computers named after them. A bit creeped out, I would think.

Cookiecutter is nice but it requires an entire python install to run, which is a big thing to ask for some of the scenarios mentioned by the tool creator (like someone going through a simple learning tutorial which might not even be using python at all).

Yes and no. Different steroids have a ratio of anabolic(muscle building) to androgenic(masucline making) activity. i.e. Some will give you a big beard with little muscle, or a lot of muscle and a little beard. Most female body builders try to use steroids that have tilt more towards anabolic over androgenic activity. This usually isn't testosterone, this is usually drugs like oxandrolone, boldenone, nandrolone, or the more recent SARMs. Thus they can reduce the masculinization of their bodies while still putting on lots of muscle.

Yes big players can buy electric energy cheaper than the small guy (or even be paid to consume). Impact on consumer prices or CO2 production is very small and the blame in CO2 production is shared with the producer. So if there is a problem here it is with big player consumers and big producers increasing total CO2 production. I agree that on a global scale, that is a problem. However, it's not a problem inherent to BTC. If you think you can get rid of big players building dirty plants and producing lots of CO2 by cancelling BTC then you are naive.

Storage of energy was and is very small / non-existent because of large investments needed to build it, and little profit to be gained. It's not BTC's fault.
As a security engineer, i dont think so. Its definitely different, and because there are less of us it makes it seem we are more specislized. However i've met tons of SWE working on hard problems that don't make sense to me, and can code circles around me. The level of technical challenge in both fields depends what you are working on. Plenty in security is also trivial.
Presumably it's burning hot enough and with enough fuel that putting it out is difficult using conventional methods (ie cooling). You see a similar problem with field fires or battery fires. That being said, in this case, I'm surprised you couldn't say its supply of oxygen, unless I missed something in the article?
You are wrong. The German car industry practically runs German politics.
It's six years to deploy half of the planned satellites, which would assuredly imply the first satellites go significantly before that.

The Tap has mixed reviews, but I'd like to try out being able to input text using a mobile keyboard into the watch. I don't know if it would result in a satisfactory experience, but that's why I want to try it.
>The use of finance is, at least in theory, it's ability to provide growth to productive sectors.

The main distinction is between the primary market (which provides new funding to companies) and the secondary market (which trades existing securities). You need a certain amount of the latter to support the former by providing liquidity. But anything beyond the required amount starts creating what's known as deadweight losses in economics. Unfortunately, an increasing share of the overall financial sector is the secondary market (mainly proprietary trading operations).
You'll probably save yourself a lot of trouble if you can edit with vi. It's installed everywhere, and editors like nano are really painful without a mouse.

I don't recommend wasting your time getting great with it or anything. Just enough to be able to use it to do anything you could do with nano...but it will be 3x faster and easier on a console instead of using nano if you learn enough to do what you can do with nano with it.
20 years ago or so we would drive through the area and smell it. We went back there about 5 years ago and wandered around the graffiti highway with the family. It was an interesting experience. You just pulled along basically an old road and wandered around some abandoned graffiti'd up roads and woods. It didn't really smell like before.

There were still homes on the edges, which I was surprised to see. Good to read the article to understand why they were still there. I imagine they're happy that the 'attraction' has been shut down.

Good point. So it can also 'get away with' having tiny retinas, since there's less information available to resolve.
Isn't that day already here?
