What would happen if there was an app that helped victims of Twitter pile-ons start tweeting generic political hot-potato non-sequiturs when something like this happens? E.g.,

* Stop the Uyghur Genocide

* Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times

* a UK judge found U.S. detainment conditions so brutal they refused to extradite Assange to the U.S.

etc.

Now the recommendation engine can do one of two things: boost the hot-potato and bring heat from the relevant nation state actor(s), or ratchet down the noise and eat the cost of the lost engagement.

Edit: replace "app" with "static site with an unordered list of such geopolitical hot-potato non-sequiturs"
This reminds me of homomorphic encryption: you can perform computations on data while it remains encrypted, which would solve the trust problems you mention afaict. This seems like it would have enormous potential to change the cloud landscape. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homomorphic_encryption
There are already laws to stop this, like the do not call registry. But the scammers don’t care about the laws.
Interested to know why "global pandemic" didn't make this list.
I read a horrifying description by a American of their employment and health insurance situation.

Some details I don't understand, and I may be misremembering, but the gist was:

- they were (under?)-employed within their field, at an okay job

- they had health benefits

- they had had a major health condition which caused them to now have a pre-existing condition (cancer? I don't recall.)

- they were now in a situation where-in if they lost their job, or COBRA coverage for 2+ months, they lapsed out of their existing policy

- they would then have to apply for health insurance coverage with a "pre-existing condition" which would not be covered (by the normal policies?)

So now they were very clearly and palpably tied to their health insurance and by extension to the company that employed them, and felt very uneasy about going through the hiring / probation period somewhere else.

I may have the major details wrong there, feel free to correct me if I do.
Microsoft’s as network isn’t really relevant nor a significant driver of business decisions at Microsoft. Disclaimer: former FTE SE, and I worked on Internet Explorer briefly in 2015.

Chromium-Edge was forked after I left MS, but from what I gathered the higher-ups were aware of how far-behind MSHTML+EdgeHTML was, and it was getting worse with each Chrome release. One major problem was the rise in the popularity of NodeJS and Electron: both of which trounced Windows’ Chakra engine and legacy HTA platform (and no-one was building for “Windows Store HTML” for obvious reasons), especially on ARM (IIRC, Chakra didn’t JIT on ARM).

Anyway, Microsoft’s problem is they don’t want to lose the web to Google because they recognise the web is now “the platform”, including desktop “web” apps running in Electron. Any business knows it’s a liability to have dependencies on your competitors. The plan, originally, was to base Edge on Chromium, then built it into the OS, so desktop apps can use modern Chromium features in a build optimised for Windows and the user’s computer without needing 200MB+ Electron packages and 400MB RAM and dozens of separate processes for what should be a trusted application.

...however that still hasn’t panned-out yet. Which I find concerning because I thought Microsoft would treat Chromium the way Apple treats Safari: a browser that puts the user - and their privacy - first, because Microsoft isn’t Google and doesn’t significantly benefit from tracking users over the web.

...but they have been. Edge’s privacy stats are almost as bad as Chrome’s. I’m guessing some GP or VP from the Bing org had a word with OSG’s VPs and convinced them to compromise Edge to benefit Bing despite the overall damage to the Microsoft brand and eliminating possibly the most important advantage Edge had over Chrome.
It's still going on - a far more recent red scare that that badly fooled probably most people here and is still fresh in minds despite the awkward embarrassment to ever admit wrongdoing is the Trump colluded with Putin to hack the election conspiracy theory.
Put rollers on the edges of your picture, left/right and top/bottom. Unroll your picture like the viewer was in between tubes of wrapping paper. Your eye is an orb. It's not just straight on. There's sides with the pupil in the front.
That uncertainty is exactly the point. It's possible that the cure could be worse than the disease, but we have every reason to believe that it won't be in the long-term, and that in fact the long-term prospects from COVID-19 are probably much worse than any of the vaccines. And in the short-term the question is decided quite clearly.

So when faced with the choice of vaccine or virus, it should be a foregone conclusion.

Isn't it an education failure? Somehow we educated a generation of angry people who favor "narratives" over facts, who favor mind-reading or attack-of-motives over rigorous debates, who favor what justice or righteousness in their mind over tolerance, who favor emotion over truthfulness. With growing number of such people, I don't see how a platform can help. On the other hand, the same group of people will be in charge of platform, like what see in Twitter.

If you think someone is systematically downvoting you, you could email dang and ask him to look for a pattern of who's doing the downvoting. I'm sure he has the tools to do that. I'm also sure that stalking someone to downvote all their posts is against at least the spirit of HN, and probably against the letter of some of the guidelines.

Ah... containers (if you mean Docker) is the one area where M1 doesn't really excel.

You got all the virtualization and all the emulation.

On Windows side... uhh I am not sure what is Docker using, if WSL or WSL2, or something else. But will probably be better for that usage.

Any difficulty they add is additional difficulty for the thousands of Apple employees they hire to replace the batteries, so they definitely don't add it just to make it harder.

> 100% of a browsers revenue comes from advertising. Nobody pays $24.95 for a boxed copy of Netscape Navigator anymore.

I know Opera got their revenue from licensing their engine to Nintendo and other OEMs, as well as with Opera Mini. But since they switched to WebKit (like everyone else...) they can’t license-away their browser, so what’s their business model?
I don't think cryptocoins are about "claiming" ones and zeroes, but instead having the ability to "use" those ones and zeroes, unlike anybody else.

Although ultimately the effect is similar to "claiming" them by virtue of being the only one (as long as you don't share the private key of course) that can operate on those one and zeroes (i.e transfering them to some other address).

Unlike, say, copyright, where even if you claim ownership, someone else can also operate on it (e.g. piracy), illegally of course, but still can.
Why can they not present such a short notes (without graphics and tables) in a more accessible format like HTML is beyond me!

Not saying I agree or that the posts are high quality but you seem to be hit unreasonably hard at times.
If dependencies are imports from URLs, how does one audit their dependencies?

If a server gets hacked those TS can be replaced with malicious versions.

In npm we at least know that a package is immutable once published, someone could publish a malicious version as a newer release but a current release.

Does demo generate some type of file that keeps a hash of all downloaded imports to verify against the next time those imports are downloaded?
Another reason is that us-east-1 has the most features and services and is usually one of the first regions to get new services. That is perhaps less of an incentive now than it was a few years ago, and probably contributes to the instability in us-east-1, but if you need a newer service or feature that constrains your choice of region. And if once you've committed, switching to another region can be expensive.
That's great! I mean, its ten years too late. But still!
haha. ive seen name formatting issues in tons of games as well. paired with the fact that this was before 2 factor was available and people had million dollar skin inventories probably made their support team (or lack there of's) week terrible. im pretty sure you can still download any game from steams servers but now they come encrypted unless you actually own them (i could be completely wrong on this)
Without weighing in on the geopolitics, I'm reminded of the quoted paper in https://twitter.com/JWMason1/status/1380253484130394114/phot....

In other news, the modern economy suffers from a persistent aggregate demand problem, so a few supply shocks here and there, especially amongst advanced goods as opposed to raw materials (like 1970s oil), strike me as just fine; needed even. For example, this could be the thing that makes Intel's "let's stop just rent seeking and diversify" actual get off the ground, which would be great.

Worrying about these supply shocks rather than celebrating them is just a sop to big big business.
Mint already did that with Cinnamon
I’ve been using command-line only OpenBSD installs with pf as my default firewall for my clients for years. WebUIs always felt like unnecessary attack surface for a firewall.
Really good point that you can’t change a password on something if backups exist - because they backups still have the old password. Would apply to 1Password vaults backed up by TimeMachine too.
If a person averages 5 calls per day, that comes to $7/mo. That's an additional 20% above T-Mobile's cheapest plan.

It’s worth moving back to trains. trucking took over partly because it removed the infrastructure problem from the truck company. Which left it to governments to (not in some cases) maintain. trains are way more predictable too.

>dismissed the idea that strong winds had pushed the ship off course.

>Rabie did not cite any evidence or say how he arrived at that conclusion.

Shouldn't the burden of proof be on the ship owners to show that they did everything to prevent the accident? Its like saying "He may have smashed his car into your house, but have you proved that the road was not extremely icey?" No, but the guy who smashed his car into my house should have to prove it was. I shouldnt have to prove it wasnt. He is the one responsible for his vehicle.
From a recent LWN article about a week ago.

> It restarted, however, when Poimboeuf came back a few days later with another idea for solving his problem: recompiling all plugins when the GCC version changes. This was refused by Yamada, who noted that Ubuntu does not have the GCC mismatch problem, so the problem seemed to be specific to Fedora. Linus Torvalds also disagreed with the proposal, but for another reason. For him there is no technical reason to recompile everything when the GCC version changes, but he expressed his concern on the usage and design of the GCC plugins in general. In a followup message he explained his reasoning in strong words:

>> The kernel gcc plugins _will_ go away eventually. They are an unmitigated disaster. They always have been. I'm sorry I ever merged that support. It's not only a maintenance nightmare, it's just a horrible thing and interface in the first place. It's literally BAD TECHNOLOGY.

> For Torvalds, the right way to implement such plugins is at the intermediate representation (IR) level, but GCC plugins were designed differently for non-technical reasons (out of fear for non-free plugins, which LWN covered back in 2008). People who are interested in plugins should use Clang, as it has a clean IR and easily allows adding similar checks at the IR level, he said.

So here we have Torvalds himself annoyed at GCC's ridiculous plugin architecture.
We're arguing past each other. It happens.

In his own narrative, the most direct cause of chip shortage is stockpiling, primarily by Chinese companies worried about potential or impending sanctions.

If it’s fair by Eric to say that’s the fault of the US for imposing sanctions, then it must also be fair to say that it’s the fault of Huawei for stealing, lying, cheating and violating tons of legal / contractual obligations until they got sanctioned.

I can see them getting a good offer from Bing...

Does Mozilla have an endowment? I would hope that they’d keep at least $10m in endowment so that they can sustainably continue to fund minimal development to keep the engine and browser up-to-date w.r.t. security and W3C spec changes.
It's also annoying that AWS doesn't have a seperate url for a specefic incident.

Still pcengines apu2d4 since my WAN is still only 400mbps and this is able to route at that speed. If/when I upgrade to gigabit then I'll most likely invest in a protecli. Also, it helps that wireguard is firmly supported in OpenBSD as well.

I feel like this could hold true for any program that tries to get anyone (young or older) into programming.

A lot of these programs try the 'hard-sell' of "programming is soooooo much fun and important" on participants and if you're not in it for the hard work and the minutiae of what takes to build a "modern web app", you're just never going get that into coding.
Seconded. It might take a couple of days to get an answer but I always get one.

As mentioned above I took a look at the first few pages of your lates comments and I too felt there might be something in your case.

That said I also do expect HN to have scripts to detect serial downvoters and automatic voting.
Honest question, why is it that whenever any party tries making a new DE/WM it always turns out to be a GNOME derivative? Unity, Cinnamon, Budgie, Pantheon, MATE.. and now COSMIC. Why not choose something else like KDE or XFCE to fork?
Isn't that the average for a new drug?

"The full research, development and approval process can last from 12 to 15 years."

"If the FDA gives the green light, the investigational drug will then enter three phases of clinical trials:

Phase 1: About 20 to 80 healthy volunteers to establish a drug's safety and profile, and takes about 1 year. Safety, metabolism and excretion of the drug are also emphasized.
Phase 2: Roughly 100 to 300 patient volunteers to assess the drug's effectiveness in those with a specific condition or disease. This phase runs about 2 years. Groups of similar patients may receive the actual drug compared to a placebo (inactive pill) or other active drug to determine if the drug has an effect. Safety and side effects are reviewed.
Phase 3: Typically, several thousand patients are monitored in clinics and hospitals to carefully determine effectiveness and identify further side effects. Different types and age ranges of patients are evaluated. The manufacturer may look at different doses as well as the experimental drug in combination with other treatments. This phase runs about about 3 years on average."

Total emissions of a country is a totally meaningless stat. If you drew a line in the middle of the country and split them in to east and west china, we would have halved the emissions. We could then draw another line and quarter the emissions. Still means nothing. Only emissions per capita matter.
Most of human history does not fall under a collectively owned economy.

Maybe much of human pre-history, or peoples with no history could be classified this way (although struggles for control of resources was still pervasive), but the historical period of humanity goes hand in hand with ownership and some of the first historical records were in fact to record ownership.
I bought my house in a raging micro bubble in the Bay Area and got the first one I made an offer on. Really just depends how much you care about getting a good deal. I did some math and figured it wasn’t worth the effort.

The solution to this is to hold them all accountable for anti-competitive behavior, and not to ignore anti-competitive behavior of one company just because another got away with it at one time.
Of course they do! And in the US I'm sure the opinion is that the Chinese should play by the rules if they want access to the global semiconductor market. Geopolitics!

Per-dataset properties, including different compression policies, exec/noexec, setuid/nosetuid, case-sensitivity, volumes, and snapshots that actually make sense.
I agree with most of what you say, except for email.

Because of such things like DKIM, I really don't have an email spam problem, or if I do, it is because I signed up for it myself.

Because there is a record of who is transmitting the message, hosts and ISP's that transmit spam get punished by having their emails ignored. It is thus in their best interest to make sure they behave well, and deal quickly with any complaints.

The big difference in phone spam is lack of accountability. I believe if you fix that, the problem can be solved pretty quickly
I care about both simultaneously - in my experience the common 1920x1080 laptop panels also have poor color rendition, poor brightness and overall image quality, in addition to not being a suitable dpi. I can see the blockiness and jagginess in fonts and GUI at 1920x1080 native.

And scrolling vertically for anything is painful on a small 16:9 screen. The macbook happens to have both 16:10 aspect ratio and a higher quality LCD.

With my current android phone, I have deliberately limited what I put on it. I got so sick of update churn.

Together with app owners selling out to malware types, and I see a lack of updates as a blessing.

I want to buy an app version and use that app version until I decide otherwise.

Ideally, when I run an app, inform me there is an update, let me know the benefits, and let me decide if I want to install or not, before or after using the app on this occasion.
We need to start targeting the companies who profit from it: the telcos who deliver the calls (i.e. AT&T, Verizon, etc.). That’s the only way to get a solution.

Telcos get a multiple benefits from spam: they charge fees to the originating carriers, and in the long term it kills voice service which they have been eager to shut down for at least a decade. Data is clearly the future and that’s where they make most of their money. People giving up on wireline voice allows them to more easily make the argument to shut down all that old wireline infrastructure.
Not sure why this got downvoted, but I have the same question. Most of my projects run behind a corporate firewall, where our NPM repository is proxied. Will Deno eventually offer something?

As far as I understand, you can import packages from anywhere, which is obviously a major concern for anyone behind a corporate firewall
This is nuts. Like, zealotry, religious level nuts.
I think it's difficult to give advice on code review in isolation of the rest of your development process - code review is but one small piece in a good workflow. I'll describe what has worked best for me in the past.

My team are all quite git-savvy, all unafraid of a bit of interactive rebase to craft a nice clean history on our feature branches. This means that we can all trust that reviewing a pull request commit-by-commit, reading the commit messages and inspecting the changeset to verify that it does indeed achieve what it says on the tin, will actually be worthwhile. Having said that, we also try to keep the pull requests as small as possible, so a good proportion of them only end up being a single commit anyway. We do this in part by throwing up what we call "skeleton pull requests", where we submit an interface or a placeholder API definition with hard-coded return values so that the design/shape of the work can be reviewed before the meat of the implementation begins. If we notice that we need to change the design during the implementation, we'll usually throw up a draft pull-request as early as possible and ask reviewers specific questions about the parts we're changing to get their thoughts.

I use pass as my general purpose personal secret management system. It synergizes very well with direnv, another one of my favorite tools. Using bash substitution, you can set a per-directory environment variable to the output of a pass command. This way you never have to have unencrypted secrets sitting on your dev machine.

I manage multiple machines, and while ssh-agent forwarding is easy to use, a lot of people don't know about gpg agent forwarding. It's a bit fiddly, but it allows you to store all your secrets encrypted on your remote machines and have your gpg agent sitting on your personal machine.

I sorta wish it had different encryption backends, gpg is a bit long in the tooth. But it works just fine.
