Nice work!

I once wrote a similar thing as part of a tool to record Android devices and make gifs from the resulting video. I recall having to make two or three separate ffmpeg invocations, but here I only see one. It always frustrated me to have to do that, and I'm pleased to learn how to do it concisely.
GTA V has a deathmatch mode and the parent comment sounds like it's talking about that. Especially the "once it's over, you need to load into the primary session, then wait for matchmaking, then wait for loading again" sounds exactly like GTA V.
Honestly, I've never had a need for it.

I've done deep dives into software as I've needed it, and even just the very surface level of familiarity with i3 was plenty to get enough of a performance boost that the WM was not what was limiting my productivity. At that point, why spend more time optimizing it?

I did daily drive it for a while on my laptop, and highly enjoyed being able to set up workspaces complete for different uses at the touch of a button, but I don't need that days, and didn't do much useful work when I did use it.

Edit: A big part of this is that the machines I use i3/Sway on these day's are really just single purpose machines that I don't do enough different things on to justify refreshing workspace management in my head. I find just being able to sanely open/manipulate open terminals is enough.
Ha, this is one of the reasons why I also include outlandish and wrong-looking stuff in unit tests. If we see where it doesn't belong, then we know for sure that we are doing something wrong.

Most often I use unicode strings in unexpected alphabets (i.e. from languages that are not supported by our application and that are not used by the mother tongue of any developer from our team). This includes Chinese, Malayalam, Arabic and a few more. There was a time when I wanted to test the "wrong data" cases for some deserialising function, and I was part annoyed and part amusingly surprised to discover that doing Integer.parseInt("٤٣٠٤٦٧٢١") in Java does parse the arabic digits correctly even without specifying any locale.

I am not commenting on the business strategy or battery technology Tesla is creating.

However , you can’t deny that despite the fact that Bitcoin mines it’s coins using an estimated 30% renewables , 60% is non -renewables and there is no incentive baked into the system to prevent massive increases of carbon emissions until 2140 when Bitcoin is estimated to be completely mined.

All I’m saying is Bitcoin is a fantastic crypto-asset for creating wealth in a quasi-decentralized fashion. So yes, if you are looking to make money it’s a great place to start. But I can’t see anyone refuting the fact that Bitcoin will continually and at an increasing rate route massive quantities of carbon into our atmosphere. And/or waste incredible amounts of renewable energy which could have been used for better purposes.

So I believe that it is logically contradictory of Tesla’s ethical branding to make that type of investment when there are plenty of Proof-of-stake based crypto’s out there with 10-100x energy-efficiency rates.
WhatsApp offered two things for my social graph:

1) got rid of usernames/passwords. This was a surprisingly high barrier for non tech literate people to pass, and WhatsApp made it dead simple for them to download from app store, install, and start chatting with their contacts.

2) SMS verification eliminated spam

And the timing was perfect. Data plans and smartphones were just coming into the fore, and WhatsApp popped in as an alternative to the extremely inferior MMS option, and gave people a free way to communicate across borders.

I also remember having trouble sharing contacts prior to WhatsApp, and after WhatsApp, it didn't matter what mobileOS the other person was using, I could just send a contact, and they would be able to add it to theirs. Same with location. And the picture/video sharing was way nicer early on also, albeit heavily compressed, it just worked.
Their children are, at least.

That's how it works here?

Here, you can pick up packages that the postman couldn't deliver (because nobody was home at the time) at the supermarket/gas station. They require you to identify yourself of course. This is the main reason I need it these days.

During the lockdown, I let my library account expire and expect to sign up again one of these days when I am in the area. I would hate if I actually had to plan to take my id with me for such a thing.

When I was a student, I participated in surveys. To prevent people participating more than once (you were reimbursed for the time spent there) they required you to identify yourself.

The advantage of carrying a credit card sized id in my wallet all the time outweighs the disadvantages of not doing it (which is pretty easy because I think there are none) which is why I am suprised when someone does not.
Now do java.
Out of curiosity, why do that? To see how people function under pressure?
A nice little slice of internet history.

True is the lesson that scale doesn’t represent success. I wonder how many of the current tech companies will learn the same lesson, or have we reached a period of maturity where products that don’t contribute to the bottom line aren’t allowed to linger like this did?
> provide Xcode for free

They force you to use it to develop any app for iOS and macOS - it's a significant financial investment to get there ( you need a mac, a developer account), if you had to pay for Xcode as well... ( to be fair, you probably pay for it in a way with the developer account)
Normally I happy to shutdown services or delete code, less stuff, less stuff to maintain, but something as dear as AIM might be harder.

It’s always a little sad to think of something like “the last message sent”, but there’s also someone, somewhere, with the last commit to the AIM server code. Writing the final AIM server bugfix cannot have been cheerful work, I mean want was the point, the developer most likely knew that the service would shutdown.

_If_ Apple uses telemetry, it tends to keep it "on device".

Frequently visited locations ? Yup, on device. If you buy a new device, you restart your frequently visited locations.

Anything AI ? Yup, also on device. The only exception i can think of is photos with iCloud enabled. If you store your photos in the cloud, Apple will process them for faces/locations/whatever AI use. That's the reason you can enter "car and dog" into the search field on your iPhone and get all images containing both.

If you can get untrack.me as a domain then you are golden!

Regardless, I think untrackme is more suitable in today’s vernacular.

Many people read emails in plain text and I think a lot of people would like to prevent tracking, but without resorting to plain text. Which your app does.

Only issue I see is that this something that should be directly integrated into email clients, not something I would get a third party app for (how do we trust you to forward emails to - I wouldn’t for work purposes, but would definitely consider for personal purposes).

The bigger issue is not so much tracking but spam in email inboxes from newsletters and other email blasts from distribution lists.

I really liked your clean site and easy to read instructions.
DartMUD has made me much of who I am. I can’t point to a single other influence that has had such an impact.

Internet quality ... varies heavily. Newer development tends to be better.

The issue with power has more to do without outages. In urban areas, these may last a few hours, excepting major incidents (hurricanes, earthquakes). In rural regions, outages may span days, even weeks. Outside the US (or outside mainland US, as in Puerto Rico), even longer.

"Services" includes retail and technical capacities -- whether it's local computer repair or someone who knows how to do basic cabling. Again: cities offer a much more diverse economy, with far more specialties than rural regions do. This may not be debilitating, but it is a factor to consider.

WoTMUD, the Wheel of Time MUD, is something I sunk so, so, so many hours into in the 90s. It’s still around too, and was officially sanctioned by the late Robert Jordan himself. Had/has the most intense and fun PK/PvP of any online game I’ve ever played. Played it a bit again during the pandemic and surprisingly still holds up as fun some 25 years later.

Another comment rightfully asked how is this different from any other type of advertising?

Someone on the hunt for gaming videos isn't in a state of mind inclined to purchase web hosting. Someone opening Facebook to catch up on friends/family pictures isn't in a state of mind to purchase some dropshipped crap from China.

Note that HN doesn’t require an email. You don’t strictly need one either. I understand why you’ve probably gone with one anyway.

What’s your plan for monetisation? It’s not ads, apparently, so what’s going to pay the hosting bills?
Hi HN, I'm creating Ambeeance to scratch a personal itch as well as learn some new technologies.

When I'm developing a new application I often find I want something more dynamic than YAML or command line switches, my solution is an application which you can use to alter values on the fly and a client interface that can be used to dynamically receive updates during development.

> I feel like this really only makes sense if pyca/cryptography had planned on adding the Rust dependency from the very beginning (or from very early on). Is there any indication that was the case?

I am sure this idea surfaced several times in IRC or possibly in the mailing lists. Certainly, the authors have been toying with handling ASN.1 in rust since 2015 [1], which I guess will be the next logical step.

I do agree that this is mostly a political stance. pyca/cryptography is a wrapper sandwiched between a gigantic runtime written in C (CPython/PyPy) and a gigantic library written in C (openssl).

The addition of Rust as dependency enables the inclusion of just 90 lines of Rust [2] where the only part that really couldn't be implemented in pure Python is a line copied from OpenSSL [3] (i.e. it was already available), and which is purely algebraic, therefore not mitigating any real memory issue at all (the reason to use rust in the first place).

The change in this wrapper (pyca/cryptographic) does not move the needle of security in any significant way, and it is really only meant to send the signal that adding Rust in all other Python packages and especially in the runtime itself will now come at no (political) cost.

> As a political move to advance the cause of memory-safe languages, as Alex Gaynor clearly intends†, this is obviously kind of a fiasco.

On the contrary, I think this is a brilliant move; it's pulled C fans into a blatantly unreasonable position, making it clear how untenable their position is.

> As for Rust not supporting "weird architectures", are y'all serious about being the new contender or not? C isn't going to give up the title without an epic fight. Love it or hate it, to a first approximation C is programming.

Nonsense. Serious programmers (e.g. those doing it professionally) have already mostly moved on from C. Open-source is bound up with Linux and C for historical reasons, and also because the top mainstream languages were not open-source until recently, and so is disproportionately behind the times.
No other fuel has the energy density of nuclear, no other source has the capability to run 24/7/365.

Renewables are based on the hope that one day we will either had transcontinental grids, which no one has managed to build, or get batteries with energy storage seen only in Star Trek.

Nuclear on the other hand has been here for 50 years and could have already solved our CO2 problems. But because it's unfashinable to be pro-science in liberal cities no one has the guts to stand up and say "You're not only wrong but delusional" to the hippies who have as much understanding of energy as flat earthers do of geography.

It's ridiculous that the people who say they want to save the earth are the reason why we've locked in a 6th mass extinction already.

Red Hat doesn't care at all about Linux on 32-bit s390, and neither does IBM as far as I know (except possibly the consulting group, which is interested in anything that makes them money).

s390x has no problem with switching to Rust/LLVM. Red Hat and IBM both employ engineers working on LLVM, specifically for s390x in IBM's case.
I think HyperCard and AppleScript were the only programming environments installed on those machines, and he was a big PC proponent, so I don't think he had a Mac at home. I don't think he used any specialized tools, and I don't think he was using AppleScript to bit-bang binaries into the network driver's region of memory.

That does remind me of a story I heard, that the zero page was mapped, and the first 64 bits of the zero page were initialized to zero at startup. So, if you derefernced or duble-dereferenced NULL as an *int, *float, *double, **int, **float, **double, etc., there would be no error and you'd get 0 or 0.0. Apparently, the Excel port for Macs had quite a few NULL double-dereferences, either intentionally taking advantage of this "feature" or by accident. Many developers installed a system extension that would set the first 32 bits of memory to a value larger than the amount of installed memory, guaranteeing an error if NULL were double-dereferenced.*
Why should we devote large sums of money for renewable energy and data centers that serve to solve useless hash functions when we can instead just move to a proof-of-stake based crypto and use the money/energy elsewhere.

If people are able to see past there monetary gains from Bitcoin I am confident they would agree that while Bitcoin paved the way for mainstream cryptocurrency adoption it is highly-inefficient in a manner that is being easily solved by other cryptocurrencies

What you're saying makes sense in any other domain except cryptographical primitives. With those, the basic correctness of the code will depend on details of the compiler and processor architecture, and it is extremely likely that the code will be fundamentally incorrect when used on other architectures or compilers.

And this is not just a matter of fixing some little-endian assumption, it's a matter of understanding microoptimizations, instruction reordering, prefetch behavior, branch prediction etc. Ensuring code has predictable runtime in the presence of an optimizing compiler and out of order processor is extremely difficult.

It's probably just as smart to roll your own crypto instead of trying to use a known library on a new platform, because the hardest parts of rolling your own will have to be done anyway.
I find it very weird that such organization is allowed to maintain its sovereign status. Other organizations should be able to be sovereign too if this is allowed.
It is surely better to construct them here, where we have all our tools, and if really necessary pump them out here. There just isn't an advantage to doing it in space. You end up paying more to create a lower-quality sphere.

And what weighs more - the air that got trapped in the sphere when we made it, or the machine we sent up to space to assemble a sphere there?

There's a decent chance that this is also just an issue within a JSON parsing library that someone at R* decided to throw in and use. The parsing library was probably never intended to handle such large blobs, and R* didn't want to mess with the the OSS code.
