I had a similar experience a few months ago - A fresh debian and then stuff needed to run the Matrix/Synapse stuff - then went to do some addons and they balked at one installed thing not having the proper ssl stuff - which led into a rabbit hole of error messages and python stuff with very few search results.. only solution I could find that actually worked was someone posting a thing saying to downgrade the TLS to lower version..

Figured that might fix the main problem at the time, but then create new problems for other things. So I gave up.

Will likely do a new box and new install with a different domain name to see if I can get it all working proper with modern tls/ssl stuff (think i saw something about a recent debian update doing some things with ssl and tls) -

But no one got back to me on exporting user data from Synapse - of which I really just need usernames, email addys to a fresh install - so I gave up on that too.
This gives me real "Inherit the Stars" vibes!
Natural monopolies are actually one of the main places regulation helps.
Also luck (says someone with a pathetic H index!) But - I don't care about it, so I can make the observation that of my peers in my 20s the ones that went on to get a massive H-index lucked out with an early paper that became widely cited for a random reason. They introduced a definition, repurposed something that they had done into a fashionable domain, or "got adopted" into a paper by a famous professor and got lots of profile for it. Once they got profile subsequent papers attracted many citations and a virtuous cycle kicked in.

Of course all these people are mega smart and do fab research - but they got lucky, and there were lots of others who were as smart and got pushed out.
Experiments involving human behavior are especially hard to design. Finding ways to figure out what people really do in real world conditions is quite a lot more challenging than most people want to believe.

This is why I think all UBI experiments are bunk: The subjects know it is a limited-time experiment, not a new government policy, so they don't behave like they would if they believed this income was permanent for the rest of their life.
Yay. This abomination of a shortcut finally gone.

In order to have Google Play Services on an Android device, the vendor has to sign a contract with Google. Part of that contract states that the vendor must pre-install Chrome and a bunch of other Google apps as system apps, making them non-removable. Best you can do is disable it, which should be where the uninstall button usually is.
Some back-of-the-napkin calculations: The ship's got over 20k containers, so less than $10 per container. Shipping a container from Asia to Europe costs thousands of dollars, so passing through the canal is less than 1% of the cost. Sounds fair to me?
I'm using ddg on all my devices for ~2 or 3 years now, and it is fine by my standards. YMMV, of course.
I have heard it should be possible with adb.

But if you don't trust Google Chrome, how can you trust Google Android?
Yeah I agree, glorifying political violence, even against a fascist dictator is a slippery slope
This post could have been me, for when discovering ProcessWire (https://processwire.com/) after 10-ish years of Drupal (also trying out Joomla, Wordpress, Typo3... (well tried installing it at least) and perhaps a few others).

The main differences would be that in Processwire, you don't even need to install plugins, as all different types of displays are so easily created from scratch in the pure-PHP templates, using PW's extremely awesome jquery-like API for getting content (see the cheatsheet for an idea: https://cheatsheet.processwire.com/).

The community is great too.

From the post, I understand textpattern might allow editing designs from the UI as well though? That'd be nice... although upon thinking about it, such a feature could also be implemented with a few lines of code in ProcessWire, exposing a field for the UI, that would be processed in the php templates.
I should say lots of typical dependencies are fine, but some are common "problem children" or ways to shoot yourself in the foot.

The Spring ecosystem comes to mind. With regard to the development cycle, Spring seems to turn things that normally would be compile-time errors into runtime errors. If I've wired up my components incorrectly, I'd prefer to find out sooner rather than later, so as not to waste my time.
For the ones I've used, because they're faster and/or much more ergonomic.

ripgrep and fd are both much faster and nicer to use than their traditional counterparts.

bat has support for syntax highlighting in many languages, and automatically pages long output. It's really nice.

I prefer the output of exa to ls.

Those are the ones I've tried, and I use them all regularly.

Writing a portable script, sure I'd still reach for grep. But for tools on the commandline, these are a big improvement.
Nobody knows for sure, however the most plausible explanation put forward is neurological side effects of a banned pesticide being sprayed heavily in the embassy compound to combat Zika. They found the same pesticide was in use in Guangzhou, where diplomatic personnel complained of the same issues.

Fascism as an ideology had an outsized impact on the European political discourse. Partly because many democracies on the continent were young and fragile, partly because radio and cinema had started to spread the news faster than ever, partly because mass-education started at the end of the previous century had resulted in more and more people reading newspapers, partly because it was a reaction other continent-wide movements (socialism and communism) - fascism was observed/fought/supported very keenly across most of Europe since 1920. It generated very strong opinions, as you might imagine, in a context where the role of violence in political life was already hotly debated “on the other side” (leftists had been violently repressed for decades already, so there were demands to respond in kind with terrorist actions and so on - and of course the USSR had taken that to the next level). And it was effectively a negation of representative democracy systems, which were often seen as ineffective in times of deep crisis.

Fascism was heralded by some as “the next step” in political evolution, which rightly horrified a significant number of people who could see the inevitable results. It was not judged by the same parameters of an expansionist foreign power, but by the potential for “evil” in one’s own country.
And security sells better than privacy. Ah yes, it's a shame.
Oh I loved Konq in the olden days. A single tabbed browser for both file system and web. Loved that thing. khtmlview was also an awesome browser component which I made use of in a few QT projects.

There's profiles in browsers these days, and computers usually have multi account support too.
"Smart" devices should get software support (in a timely manner, like 3-6 months after a bug is reported) for as long as 20%+ of the buyers continue to use those devices. If that's 15 years, then they should get support for 15 years.

If 10 million people get a certain Samsung Smart TV model, and 15 years later, 3 million of those buyers continue to use that model, then Samsung should continue to support it until it's fewer than 2 million, at least.

Then these OEMs can decide if throwing some much garbage onto these devices is actually worth it to them in the long term.
Svelte has been such a breath of fresh air after so many years with React. (I still like React.) All my new projects are built with Svelte. There are just a couple of patterns to ease the transition but once you get those it's just so easy.

The best part is every time you want to do something, you gradually stop looking for a library to do it, because it's just html, js and css. So you just roll your own solution and everything is much, much simpler.

Well as Rich Hickey would say, "not everything is awesome", but I'm a big fan of Svelte and mainly looking forward to the new build times speed increases.

Thank you Rich Harris and all the Svelte contributors!
I was afraid they were going to bring up NFTs at some point in the article.
So what's the problem there? The person going for a job in a maths department with an Annals of Maths citation isn't going to be in a competition with someone with a big H-index because of applied stats papers... the committee won't look twice at the statistician! On the other hand if the Annals of Maths person wants a job in stats then presumably they will also have stats papers (and the stats people will be keen to know.. "what about your amazing career in pure math?!"

The system webview which crashed millions of android devices after a bad update yesterday..?
For web development, it's kinda mandatory as nobody wants a site that doesn't work in the most popular browser. That doesn't mean you have to use it for browsing as well though- I found that having Chrome for testing / debugging and Firefox for browsing was quite a productive setup last time I did web dev.
I enjoy Edge and Firefox a lot and never use Chrome. I certainly think that Chrome being Google's browser is grounds enough to look critically at it aside from everything else.
But if these smart TVs are connected, they can also be updated, right?

That they hold Bitcoin instead of accepting USD denominated in BTC? That's possibly the most legitimizing development in the past few years.

One of the most used critical points about Bitcoin has been that it has not been suitable as a medium of exchange or currency. When critics mention this, they point to merchants pretending to accept Bitcoin but in actual fact enrolling a payment processor to instantly convert it to fiat. In other words, they never received Bitcoin.

Not only are Tesla directly accepting Bitcoin here but:

- They do so using their own Bitcoin infrastructure meaning they trust the network

- Don't convert to fiat, meaning they trust the asset as a store of value/medium of exchange
Could you elaborate on how Chrome has better security?
This reminded me of a library I released in January 2005. Part of the embedded docs from the 2011 release:

;;; The @b{urlskip} Racket library provides a function that translates some of
;;; the Web URLs that might be used to track a user across sites, by removing
;;; intermediate HTTP redirectors or information that might identify the user.
;;; Such a function might be used as part of a privacy-enhancing Web browser,
;;; or to canonicalize or un-obfuscate URLs for Web analysis projects.
;;;
;;; Note that @b{urlskip} is not intended to remove information used by
;;; ``affiliate'' referral programs to identify site operators that have sent
;;; users to a site. However, in some cases this affiliate ID information
;;; might be lost in the process of removing a intermediary URL that is used by
;;; a third party to track and profile users.

It had special-case handlers for various URL server authorities and the paths under them. So, for

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=AAA&creative=111&camp=222\
&link_code=bn1&path=asin/b333

it was coded to preserve only certain query parameters, like:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=AAA&path=asin/b333

A lot of the cases it handled were redirectors, which usually meant only the target URL, which was usually in a query parameter, but might be in the path, and might or might not be URL-escaped. So, for example,

http://www.google.com/url?sa=l&q=http://www.shopping.com/xGS-AAA_BBB~NS\
-1~linkin_id-111&ai=REALLYLONGNONSENSESTRING&num=3

would skip the redirector, to be simply:

http://www.shopping.com/xGS-AAA_BBB~NS-1~linkin_id-111

I was going to link here to the code of `urlskip`, but it's no longer in the package repository where it used to be. (I added a lot of libraries to that repository, and don't recall whether there was some reason to remove this particular library.) It was a pretty niche library, and in a fringe language, so its impact might've only been as an example, pointing out that this could be done, and some rules for it.

You can install any add-ons (including ClearURLs) from addons.mozilla.org onto Firefox Nightly for Android or Fennec F-Droid (a fork of the stable version of Firefox for Android) by following these instructions:

Fennec F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/

ClearURLs works with no issues.

Not all WebExtension APIs are supported in the Android version of Firefox at this time, but the developers are working on the missing features.

That's OK then, if that's we all have to do to run any devices inside our LAN/home network.

Want a NAS box for sharing family files/photos or some other IoT device at home? Just set yourself up some other device to run the docker image, get your self a certificate from LetsEncrypt and then... install it on the NAS box? How does that happen?
I used Firefox for years.

I recently moved back to a Chromium based browser (Edge). Even on a fairly powerful system (16 logi cores/4GHz) it's just noticeably faster. SPAs are actually usable again. Video decoding is hardware accelerated and I can now play 4k videos without every interaction with the browser lagging like crazy.

Firefox is great, theoretically. But even then, Mozilla keep making inane decisions - lately their plans to remove compact mode [0] were in the news. Why?!

Personally my experience with the Google Cloud has been the best, but I think if one goes with AWS or GCP they'll be fine either way.

Just stay away from Azure. If death by a thousand needles was ever true then it must be for Azure. The hidden caveats, pain points, down times, subtle bugs, Portal issues, confusing documentation pages, and so on are a HUUUUUGE time sink. Honestly the cost of Azure is irrelevant when you spend 5x more expensive developer time in getting simple stuff working.

Don't say I haven't warned you...
A lot of what this talks about can be summed up as trying to root out confirmation bias and personal blind spots.

Since humans make science, dealing constructively with human tendencies is a necessary part of science, though it's one we tend to not really address directly. We act like the process matters and equipment matters but we give short shrift to the people, their character, how aware they are of their own bad habits, what best practices counter such human tendencies, etc.

But this quote is about a kind of systemic issue, about scarcity of resources and about broken bureaucratic processes:

In order to compare his heavy hydrogen results to what might happen to light hydrogen he had to use data from someone else’s experiment on light hydrogen, which was done on different apparatus. When asked he said it was because he couldn’t get time on the program (because there’s so little time and it’s such expensive apparatus) to do the experiment with light hydrogen on this apparatus because there wouldn’t be any new result. And so the men in charge of programs at NAL are so anxious for new results, in order to get more money to keep the thing going for public relations purposes, they are destroying—possibly—the value of the experiments themselves, which is the whole purpose of the thing. It is often hard for the experimenters there to complete their work as their scientific integrity demands.

And I am reminded of how in the early days, scientist often seemed to be wealthy or eccentric individuals who found some way to buy or create what they needed on their own rather than cogs in a bigger science machine. And we should try to recreate more of that, which is part of why I liked that "I baked ancient bread!" story so much:

Make sense what you saying but in all articles of similar nature, there are always top-secret documents but never hard proof, (photo, video or similar) that could be analysed. Even when there are some photos/videos resolution is so low that it looks like it was recorded 20 years ago.
So, my default mode is just to discard any of those news as some kind of viral trash paper frenzy... to be honest over years I read so many of those, that if real aliens (or Chinese navy-seals) would land in front of me and ask me for "direction" my heart would not skip a hart beat. It is pretty much as the story 'the boy who cried wolf' after so many information, disinformation, cover up information, misinformation... it is really hard for me to think anything else then that this is yet another NSA's social experiment.

Just thought about something, you know always when foreign airplane, ship or any other vehicle invades foreign territory anywhere in the world, immediately it is in headlines. Full footage, there is even a satellite recording, everything is wide open and fully transparent. But in case of these events there is nothing or enough to be misleading. So, why to hide it from public? Maybe because it is US tech. Reason which says it would cause panic, does not add up because after pandemic, global warming and amounts of lies and fear mongering people are indifferent toward everything.
Well it's not all true. If you've had a bad app experience, don't extend it to all apps in the playmarket. In any case, if the application does not triple you, you can contact a reliable service and get a loan via NorthnLoans. I advise you to read before writing anything.
Enabling opt-level=1 also does wonders.

It enables dead code elimination, and removes a lot of code very early.

Yes, everything is stored in the database, and Textpattern has an integrated text editor for templates and CSS, with a rudimentary form builder (basically search for txp tags and drag them in).

I know actix uses lots of generics and macros to match up your functions with varying signatures to Handlers for a request. That might be a reason why it’s slow but I don’t know enough about Rust compilation to be sure.

Can’t you put the web stuff in another crate that depends on the main library crate? That way you can build and test your library without all the actix/web stuff.
as long as you are not switching compilers during development, those formats are stable..

Look the butterfly macbook keyboards were defective, end of story. It's not a matter of someone being too harsh on them, they were extremely failure prone compared to other keyboards. Sometimes canned air worked, plenty of other times it wouldn't do anything. Even users who paid $700 to get Apple to repair their screw up and immediately put a silicone keyboard cover over the replacement still had keyboard failure after a year. Clearly they called it a butterfly keyboard because that's how light you have to touch it to keep it from failing. This isn't heavy handed users, this is idiotic design decisions.

Apple put out one of the least reliable keyboards in any laptop that was simultaneously the most expensive to repair. It took them 3 years of gouging customers with obscenely expensive repairs before they were willing to actually admit to the defective design. There's plenty of users on HN alone who suffered from it when it broke right after the warranty ended. If you didn't decide to purchase AppleCare, you got to pay Apple hundreds of dollars to fix their own design defect on a relatively new machine while Apple staff pretended to be completely unaware that this was a common problem.

I'm glad their canned air trick worked for you, many others weren't so lucky. Even today, best case scenario if your keyboard is far gone enough to need replacement instead of canned air, it gets replaced with a new keyboard that's just as defective as the original.
Shooting fascists is always a good idea, unless there's some strategic reason to postpone it.

You ask questions rather than state a position, so I'm not actually sure what your position is.

Do you reject all violence? Under all circumstances? Some think that to be admirable. I think it's nonsense.

That’s an overgeneralization. It’s like saying that, because a car’s dashboard is made of plastic, the whole car is inherently plastic.

The state has a monopoly on violence, as famously stated, but is not necessarily made of violence, nor should its governance and policy-creation mechanisms necessarily include violence. In fact, the main characteristic of modern democratic institutions is that they removed violence from most of the process.
