> I wish there was a solution for those of us who develop web interfaces for embedded products designed to live on LAN, often without any internet access and no well defined domain name.

I don't know how it could work if you're truly disconnected from the Internet, want to connect arbitrary machines with no setup (not install local CA certs), and don't want any sort of prompt on first use (the TLS-PSK someone else mentioned). We might just be stuck with http in that case. Chrome isn't turning off http support, just changing the default behavior to try https first.

What I can imagine though is home LAN appliances being able to get certificates automatically when you have an Internet connection, have a domain name (they're pretty cheap), and set up your router for it. The router could present a (hypothetical) DHCP option saying "get certificates from me" (maybe via the standard ACME interface) and use the DNS-01 challenge with the upstream ACME server (letsencrypt) behind the scenes on each request.

This is certainly more complicated than just doing the DHCP request for a hostname and being done, and it makes your appliance hostnames public, but you wouldn't have to make appliances accept traffic from the Internet, much less have all your traffic proxied through some cloud service. And I can imagine it being a standard router feature some day with a wizard that walks you through the setup.

You might be interested by Jane Austen's third most popular novel, "Sense and Sensibility", which has been adapted into TV series and movies several times, and favorably depicts a 17-year-old girl's romance with a colonel in his forties.
That conversation in general has been and continues to be had over and over again on HN, so even if this is a good occasion for substantive discussion (which I doubt), it's not as if there won't be countless opportunities in the future.

How helpful?

Maybe by enabling the ability to have a variety of different media, (notes, tweets, pics, videos, etc.) all linked / connected via ledger, that could display on a digital frame & cycle through / play them

“A memory” could be any piece of media worthy of preserving (even a screenshot of something read on a smartphone, for instance)

A blockchain solution could be perhaps helpful because it would allow one to create a “chain” of memories .. in other words, it could make a record of each media piece added to the “ledger of collectibles” .. maybe even treat the collection as some kind of immutable package

> It is a bearer bond, meaning anyone who presents the addendum to the issuing authority can collect the interest. The water board kept no register of ownership of the bond.

These types of bonds seem so interesting to me as they seem fraught with risk of theft,fire, and other harm. Why would I as an investor prefer this over some form of registration? Is it just to provide anonymity?

Wikipedia[0] only states that benefit but then the US Treasury issued them until a few decades ago.

If the only purpose is anonymity and illegal stuff, then why would a government issue them? It doesn’t seem like the demand is so high that they couldn’t issue similar debt that wasn’t bearer. Does this mean there’s some illicit gain that an issuer gets? I suppose that the percent that gets lost or destroyed would make them more attractive?

It would be comical if an unscrupulous issuer actively sought out the bonds to destroy.

I'm giving this a spin for a small experiment that I'm playing with, however I need this to run alongside other code. I see the example for getting pywebio to work with its support python web frameworks end up at this:

webio_view(task_func)

However, I'm not clear on what task_func is, what arguments it takes, etc. Is there an example of a function like this working with any of the supported web frameworks?

I don't get why the UAVs need lights. They might not have been detected without them-- so it's like they were asking too be seen.

Also just an aside, I was on that cruise ship that was in the vicinity a month before this. I went out onto the deck (the bow) late at night. We were way out offshore near the military operating area. It was pitch black out there and creepy as fuck.
Do you mean the Aral Sea? Lake Baikal has not been lost at all.
Why do you think this pandemic isn’t worst than the previous? If you gauge by economic impact alone it can be the worst ever. The lower number of lives lost is because of quicker lockdowns, vaccines, advanced health care, and information networks

So much for the tolerant left.
I went down the rabbit hole of trying to piecewise update packages, and ran into glibc version differences, other packages absolutely requiring gnutls and some absolutely requiring openssl and conflicting, issues with changed certificate paths in newer versions of Debian that many apps don't know about so TLS was just broken in everything, and after many hours I gave up on that route.
Also, I wouldn't read too much into his commentary about other people. By a strange coincidence, he seemed surrounded by cardboard cutouts, designed to prove him right about things. If you were ever curious about the opinions of a Holden Caulfield who didn't really grow up, but worked in tech for 18 years, you could find a lot of answers on his blog.

His blog is morbidly fascinating. His previous post is a long, very detailed assessment of the prospect of Trump ending Obamacare - couched 100% in terms of what it means for him and people exactly like him. Then there was a huge post doing amateur psychoanalysis of his ex, with a heaping helping of Myers-Briggs types and (I kind you not) the Houses from Harry Potter. That's as far as I got.

Would love to hear his ex's version of all this...

One can only wonder what the literary world has lost, given that he abandoned the project of being a writer.

I'm not sure where this trope of people working 80 hours a week at FAANG companies comes from. In Silicon Valley it's well known that people at FAANGs are mostly just chilling compared to people at startups or unicorns while collecting a fairly good salary. Sure, there are teams where people work much harder, but there are also many teams just working on some slow-moving project where everyone clocks in at 10 and leaves at 4. Plus, at all of these companies there is a "terminal level" where you can stop worrying about career growth (eg. L4 for Google, E5 at FB) and no one will stop you.

It isn't necessarily fulfilling and you will never become truly wealthy, but if you just want to make $300-500k/year for 35 hours a week it's possible and quite common.

Coming up with a good problem to work on is the most difficult part in science.
As a former ordnance officer: lol

No one is going be the CO the opens fire on a non combatant drone on the USA coast, as you'd lose your command pretty fast.

Edit: I can't post faster, so here's a response to a reply:

I didn't peruse the logs myself, so I don't know the situation, but the rules of engagement are pretty strict, and also they may not have even had ordnance onboard for the weapons needed to take out one of these things. Not every ship carries live rounds all the time, and near the USA coast we pretty much never wanted to have loaded guns.

Like I said elsewhere, the US Navy isn't a bunch of untrained psychos looking to shoot stuff. Officers and enlisted are trained to put our lives on the line, not get scared and shoot everything that looks weird or threatening.

I don't get the bloodlust shown in here!
> There's no content-length header in the response.

I'm not sure I understand -- what's stopping me from adding one? One of Gemini's design goals seems to be client diversity and allowing clients to interpret responses on their own terms.

Edit: To be even more explicit about it: the Gemini specification doesn't include any language that says that clients and servers MUST not use the "meta" field or their response bodies to negotiate additional functionality. The observation that nobody in the Gemini ecosystem currently does is tantamount to the observation that nobody has bothered to yet, just like with HTTP 1.0.
What's mindblowing is the search for planet 9...once you start to realize that we are surrounded by thousands of dead solar systems (brown dwarfs that very likely were red dwarfs before) in our immediate neighborhood.

Ah, more personal attacks. Excellent.

> Nonetheless... The law was broken.

I'm starting to suspect that you don't actually understand the issues under discussion. Literally nobody disputes that they committed an infraction. The issues under discussion are:

- Is that infraction serious enough to constitute a crime under UK law? Not all violations of the law are crimes.

- Does protection of buildings start the moment a nomination for Grade II (or higher) listing is made, before actual designation as a historic building?

- (philosophical) Is it appropriate for a government to impose involuntary labor, or to affirmatively construct something on their own property, as a punishment for a regulatory infraction? The answer to this question may turn on the answer to the first, i.e., whether their conduct was a crime.

If you don't want to discuss those topics, that's totally fine, but it's not quite clear to me why you're so hostile and emotional over all this.

Corruption is like gravity, everything rolls downhill unless there's something holding it up.

In a large business it can stay hidden for a long while (especially if it's near to something profitable), but sooner or later someone will find it worth their while to follow the money - at least, there's an incentive for that to happen. For government things are even less reliable, but at least there's an opposition who has an incentive to find problems (also media etc.).
Anyone else surprised with how effective American media has been in burying the large anti-lockdown protests throughout Europe?

Go in practice doesn't actually use the code cited.

Most of the math/bits package is recognized by the compiler and intrinsified down into 1 or a few CPU instructions (not function calls) on almost all architectures.

In a git checkout of Go, look at e.g. `git grep Div64 src/cmd/compile`.

Yes I misinterpreted that, thanks. I wonder if a later spec requires sector atomic writes because I always worry something will be optimized later while still meeting reqs. I thought this had happened for XFS on linux but the sector guarantee remained )(only the stronger SGI behavior was dropped to reduce latency) - or how now more C compiler optimizations trip-up people inadvertently hitting UB. It really does seem 256 bytes like how used in this HN post is safe on all common systems, but I'd still be afraid it could break unless I see it spelled-out in a spec and man page.

Folks, there are very strict conditions under which a Navy ship can use weapons, and some unknown aircraft isn't gonna be a situation that they're going to open fire. You could be shooting some moron in an ultralight or some kids science project or whatever.

The US Navy is a professional organization, not some scared cops who shoot first and ask questions later.

Edit: I'm done here, but please stop all the military fantasy where everything is a threat and needs to be shot. This was like 50 miles from the coast of the USA, not Iran or NK.
On the other hand if you allow drone to get to the ship, it might be too late.
So serious question from an operational perspective: One of these drones were over the helipad, which I would have assumed would be considered 'controlled airspace'... If they knock down drones that go over airports, why not over a military vessel's airspace?
Or is it not considered restricted airspace if not in use? etc
I can’t even remember what Medium’s original goal was, but from what I remember it was pretty much a blogging platform. In some ways it sounds like they’re going back to that.

I dislike finding myself defending Apple, but these complaints are essentially unfounded.

The butterfly keyboard issue is so noteworthy because it is a dramatic departure from the normal quality levels of Apple products. The only other major (modern) hardware quality issue in an Apple product I can think of is the iPhone 4 antenna thing from 2010; I would be hard-pressed to find another hardware company that's shipped as few problematic products on that time frame, and for many companies a butterfly keyboard style quality issue would be unremarkable! Can you name a company that does consistently better than Apple on hardware quality?

The Apple root password bypass was not good (four years ago), but the set of people with a threat model such that this really mattered is not large (I think it was only ever proven to work with physical access to the device, for example). The "goto fail" bug[1] was also quite bad, in fairness. But on the same time frame neither of those really registers as a vulnerability on the same level of impact as Heartbleed[2], Cloudbleed[3], Spectre[4] and related issues, or even the more recent Solarwinds[5] or Exchange[6] hacks. Every software company has security incidents; Apple is absolutely not an outlier or unusually insecure.

Oh that's cool! It's not so odd if you look at the history, owning your own food supply chain was the only way to supply large amounts of food for your factory workers back then. Daimler-Benz for example had pig farms, slaughterhouses etc close to their factories up until the 60s. Today food is abundant, so it's nice to see that VW carries on a tradition.
US Navy destroyers are equipped with CIWS and AA missiles designed to engage multiple supersonic sea skimming cruise missiles simultaneously. If the destroyers had felt that they were in any danger they would have quickly made mincemeat out of the UAVs. Still curious to know who operated their (fairly capable) drones in such a brazen manner though.
With that attitude you'd have started real war many times during the Cold War. Just go to youtube and watch Cold War fly-bies over opposite navy ships.

Here it were international waters and no any weapons trained toward the ships - and even trained weapons isn't enough actually to start shooting.
These are generally mentally unstable people.

I liken it to a young child that wouldn't have come up with the idea - of stealing candy - let's say, until someone tells them specifically not to steal any candy - i.e. it expands their field of what's possible. Then it's their notion of morality (right vs. wrong) that dissuades them.
> That might also include exposing shared memory via a memory mapped file, or possibly via a higher level message passing abstraction.

Distributed shared memory needs quite a bit more than the simple "read" and "write" primitives that something like 9P provides. You basically need to replicate a low-level coherency protocol in software. Of course, expect it to be quite slow.
No submarine can come this close to the coast without being detected. Especially not in this area, there's huge numbers of Navy ships there 24-7 due to training, and all of them are using passive sonar all the time due to that training.

Having to install and set up third-party pre- and post-processors is the extra work I mean. I'm sure it's not super difficult, but it's also not very accessible to those like me who aren't already familiar with Java tools. The documentation seems to assume I'm slightly competent with Maven or Gradle, etc.

I did try Kotlin/native hoping it would make it easier to remain in blissful ignorance of the JVM ecosystem, but as of a year or two ago it had significant holes in the standard library (most notably no file abstractions other than thin bindings to libc) and pretty atrocious compile times (something like 10s for hello world, and 30+ for a couple thousand lines of code).
Honestly even as an AI I find it pretty funny too.
