IPOC which became CLOV isn't
Reminds me a little of when Meebo came out and people were blown away seeing a windowed UI in a browser.
The official registration page for vaccinations in Germany ( impfterminservice.de ) uses Akamai's Bot Manager, which in turn uses WebGL for fingerprinting. It does a lot more, computes timings of certain tasks and stuff, all in all, pretty impressive work, but it is doing fingerprinting.

The privacy policy of the website doesn't mention this technique, which effectively is a replacement for cookies, nor the use of any of Akamai's services. It even CNAMEs Akamai.

So basically Akamai's service is left out of this list for no reason at all.

I stumbled upon this while trying to automate the querying for available slots to get notified via email, and one of the POST calls was sending my graphics card model to the server.
It's a rough road to fight that. Trader joes sells non-branded but also branded products. Albertsons/Safeway/Vons sells O brand stuff (the organics), Open Nature, Signature, Primotaglio, etc...
Kroger sells a boat load of branded products as well. So it won't be just amazon that would be affected by something like that. However - having only read the article and not the actual bill, maybe it's only affecting "tech".
This is great advice and I wish it was the standard. I had this problem on one of my projects so I used a githook to basically paste in actual compiled example files from the test suite on committing. It does mean the actual readme is more like a template and you can't edit the README file directly anymore but all the examples always work now!

I personally like at least one small example embedded in the README since it's zero effort, an example folder is great for _more_, but annoying to get started, what should I look at in the example folder first?

You're missing the point where Firefox agrees with Apple on these APIs.

But sure. "Apple bad" and all that.
Sure, the standard library on those targets depends on OS services. But you don’t have to use the standard library. Many people do write userspace programs in Rust, just like they do in C. That doesn’t mean that it’s only useful or intended for userspace, just like C.

It takes more work to port an entire standard library than to not.
The wiki page on the attack speculates an Office360 account was hacked. Presumably it was an account from an admin, and from there I could see them probing until finding credentials for the build system.
On my side I have been using Datagrip for years. Fantastic and I can't really use any other tool after that. I also use PyCharm from time to time but it's a bit heavy for my usage (small projects involving maybe 2-10 files).

I do hope they have a future. But I don't know their financials so can't be sure.
I've been around since I read about it on slashdot in 2009. Was one of the first online retailers accepting bitcoin for purchases (late 2010). And I completely agree.

Monero is the 'ideological' best cryptocurrency in my opinion, and I've hedged my bets across a handful of coins that I think at least offer something valuable to the future space.

Bitcoin has the first mover advantage and although bastardized into a 'gold like store of value' completely detached from its original use case I'd still want to own a decent amount because why fight momentum.

I agree with everything you say (wild west token scams, tether backing and sketchy accounting) but I think there is too much benefit at the core for one to disregard the entire space. The cream will rise to the top.
You can also use the web version. To me that's what I like about SN. Joplin/Obsidian seem cool, but I'd rather everything be in the cloud, so that if change computers I don't have to go through endless setup.
Firefox already the same thing for html5 canvas [1], enabled I think via privacy.resistFingerprinting (in about:config). A similar feature would make sense for webGL. In the meantime, power users can disable webGL entirely via webgl.disabled (but without a user-friendly prompt to warn you when it's being blocked).

I switched to brew because it goes out of its way to avoid breaking your system. I recently gave macports another try and the experience involved editing Portfiles over and over again to try to get applications to work.

The most common complaint (changing permissions on /usr/local) isn’t a problem with the arm64 version which now uses /opt/brew but, also, as far as my trust model goes, it isn’t a problem for me: I already have $HOME/bin on my path and, so, any local exploit that relies on overwriting system executables has multiple ways of tricking me into running a malicious program.
I don’t think you’ll need an extension, most browsers still support a custom CSS file, I think.

Of course, that's the exact reason I wrote the original comment.
Most of the 'how to succeed' advice is a mix of survivorship bias with 'necessary but not sufficient' traits. (You can apply a lot of grit at a fast food restaurant and never become a thousandaire.)

Turns out that having both grit and a large family nest egg too reduce the consequences of failure go a long way together. But maybe they're rare to have together: the safety net reduces the need for grit.
I would avoid PHP and Ruby just the same, but for very different reasons.

Anyway regarding deploying, these days Go is available. It's probably the easiest one to deploy, just copy the binary to the server.
Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Phone Numbers (2019)
I would guess nobody uses webgl exclusively for fingerprinting, but rather, in combination with other things. Apple machines are notoriously homogeneous hardware wise. You can imagine there's a much wider spread of webgl fingerprints for android phones and non-apple desktops/laptops.
I quit facebook roughly seven years ago. Like you, I did notice a decline in my social life over the following year. However, things did slowly improve over time and now I have no complaints (the last year has been tough to keep up with people due to the pandemic, though).

The difference is I have to go out of my way to keep up with people over text, calls, or email. It's not that hard to do, though, since it's how I lived my life before facebook. Some people do think it's weird that they can't find me on facebook and I am probably missing out on one or two people who moved to "only facebook" communications, but honestly I don't really miss them.
I see that as third party rent seeking behavior and a bit of a co-opting.

And that's fine, because the beauty of satoshi releasing it as open source spawned an entire ecosystem of ideas and implementations, so while his 'baby' may not be what he envisioned the basic idea and problems solved live on through evolution.
Many people who go to stamp dealers are collecting because of a personal interest in history. It's a hobby, but it's a serious hobby for them with non-entertainment goals. It's those people who start stamp stores, visit them, and generally keep the entire industry alive.

Finding someone who simply does it for 'joy' is against the grain.

It's like having a Porsche and not knowing anything about its internals or engineering history and simply driving it for fun on the track. If you join a car club, they'll think you are weird for not caring or knowing the displacement of your engine or your tire size.
(Not OP btw)

While I'm not sure if it's building from source or pulling a binary, just pip3 install pandas seems to work just fine. Not a Rosetta terminal.

Is there a kind of nostalgia that isn't retro?
I've only followed Archegos from afar, but I see your point.
Basically it all boils down to people's trust in Tether, which if lost could cause a ripple effect and massive dump of USDT.

I think there are just too many unknowns to predict the market-wide impact, but Archegos is a good case study (in a way so is Ripple/XRP who went through a somewhat similar dump for different reasons a few weeks ago).
Funny to see this - had a similar situation recently (sort of) with a train shop. I couldn’t care less about collecting trains - I bought a train a few years ago for xmas and my kids loved it so I bought a year round one as well. Lionel trains are not cheap and easy to repair. Both have already broke where a significant repair was needed.

I watched videos and tried to fix one that wouldn’t fire up at all. Took it to the shop and the proprieties seemed kind of annoying with me as I asked for their help to repair (of course intending to pay). They gave me a lecture about letting a four year old play with a train like this. Usually I’d lose my temper and start arguing but my son really missed the train.

They ended up replacing the engine board ($120 bucks) and took forever to get it back to me.

I get that people have sacrosanct hobbies like coding, sports, etc. They have to understand that dilettantes like me may want to dabble!

Also I am a self taught DBA and never ever use keys. I’ll take in any incoming fire as probably deserved :).

Isn't it obvious? Tech has a clear blind spot for geopolitics. Saying anything critical of China or Russia, even if well-founded, is a great way to get downvotes and be stamped as propaganda or parroting propaganda. It's representative for how these companies and their employees view these issues.

So it's funny and depressing to see a comment here questioning why a Russian company was allowed to join a program like this after a massive hack by Russian entities, when Russian efforts in this sphere are more than well-documented.
Are you aware of similar critiques of growth/fixed mindset? It’s very popular in my kid’s school, but I’ve heard other parents say that the pedagogical strategies that are ostensibly based on it (not stratifying kids based on ability level) are bunk. I’m interested in knowing more about the pros/cons.

I grew up reading the newspaper every day and I prefer quite a narrow margin, here is my bookmarklet for narrowing pages (and it changes font).:

javascript:!function(){var e,t;e='body {margin: auto;margin-left: 100px;max-width: 540px;font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif;}',t=document.createElement("style"),t.type="text/css",t.appendChild(document.createTextNode(e)),document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(t)}();

You could change the "540" to "900" for your needs. I prefer this to narrowing the window because I prefer the whole screen to have a uniform background color.

Edit I don't think it is infaillible, it didn't work on this page, but it works well on pages with no markup. For more complicated site you may try this: https://oxal.org/projects/sakura/bookmark/
I had a similar idea to try and track corruption in local government by simply bringing visibility to the things different council members vote for, and when. All this stuff is freely available on the internet, on official sources, it's just hard to find and navigate. Scraping it into a nice UI that lets you cross-reference stuff seems worthwhile.
Tell that to Socrates.

Excellent article. Thank you.
The question isn't between eating meat and not eating, but between eating one dish, or a similarly (or perhaps slightly-less) tasty dish. Yet choosing the meat dish pays into an industry that causes an immense amount of environmental degradation (air, water, and land pollution; severe deforestation, etc) and animal abuse (torture of animals). Boasting that you are choosing the ethically problematic option is worth reflecting on (and in my opinion stopping).

Your comment seems more like a troll, because I can't imagine an educated individual living in 2021 being so uninformed about what the moral issues are surrounding meat consumption, and because you can't seriously think "delicious" is a justification for eating meat, since I doubt you think "it feels good" is not a justification for rape.

I don't think they should be banned, but I seriously don't understand how someone could invest in one. You don't know what it's going to acquire, so it's a bet that the leadership finds a good company at a good price that you'd be interested in owning. SPACs have nothing else going for them. That said, it sounds a lot like VCs who invest in the founder, not the company.
The risk of a blood clot after the vaccine (which may or may not be causally linked) appears to be about 20 per million.

The risk of randomly dying from a fall in a given year appears to be on the order of 120 per million. The most likely way to fall and die if you are in decent health is probably from a ladder.

Therefore I feel like owning a ladder is probably (conservatively) on the order of five times as dangerous as getting the vaccine every year.

Also, Covid killed on the order of 1600 people per million in the US in the past year. I just don't understand what risk-reward calculation people think they are doing.
WindowGrid for Window Management on Windows
I've been going back and forth between tiling WMs on Linux, and using this on Windows, and I 100% think this is the better approach. You set the minimum grid size, and then using your mouse you drag windows over grid boxes until it's set up how you want.

This is, IMO, better than a tiling WM as you don't have to mess about with resizing windows or changing the way the layouts are stacked. Just put the windows where you want them, and move them when you want them.

Ask HN: What are some impactful, small-team, software projects?
Hello HN,

I'm working to find a purpose; contributing to or creating an impactful software project might help.

As an example, SciHub provides free, convenient access to research (usually funded by public money, so it's not that illegal), which contributes to advancing science.

What are some impactful, small-team, software projects that you know, or would like to exist? Thanks
Well that’s inconspicuous
Nuclear power's market fit has been seriously eroded over the past 10 years or so. Over the past decade both wind and solar have been exceeding by a wide margin their expected cost reductions. It's very clear now that these cost reductions will continue for at least another ten years at which point nuclear will have no chance at all of being cost competitive.

Almost as important, a nuclear power plant represents one big lump of power supply that takes years and years to complete. Whereas wind and solar can be built to completion incrementally in a year or two which is a much more budget friendly way to finance future energy supply. And of course wind and solar benefit from the cost reductions year by year.

The only positive for nuclear is that governments would like to keep a stock of nuclear trained scientists on hand just in case they are needed for a weapons initiative.

The nuclear industry is aware of all of the above and will engage in a protracted propaganda campaign to try and right the sinking ship. Though at this point it really looks hopeless.

It’s not “brand new hardware”, it’s just another MacBook Pro. Being a MacBook Pro, I expect a keyboard, trackpad, screen... and the ability to plug-in monitors, just like every other MacBook Pros has for however many years.

They shouldn’t have called it a pro.
Considering companies have lied before when it comes to privacy & ad tracking (see Facebook's "promise" of not using 2FA phone numbers for advertising purposes) his concerns are totally reasonable.
I'd say that it's essentially all editorial at this point.

It strikes me as several waves peaking at the same time. One being normal civilization cycles that result in political violence, another being a death of professional standards in reporting. To be fair, some eras of broadsheets, pamphlets, newspapers were just as manipulative as the modern ones.

A practice I try to stick to is to read non-Anglosphere (and particularly non-US) newspapers only. For one thing, the rest of the world appears to keep on keepin' on and isn't overly concerned with the minutiae of US palace politics or the Chauvin trial.

So your decision to pay into a system of severe abuse of animals and environmental destruction pivots on "well, others aren't doing anything about it"?

Every individual choice matters: the market demand is elastic: purchasing less reduces production.

Please educate yourself about the moral problems surrounding meat consumption, don't just say "well, I'll do what others are doing" - because you know, that was the algorithm that maintained the numerous problematic practices in the past (that were eventually overturned).
