Obviously if the project requires working emails, PHP cannot solve it. If I understand the parent comment correctly, what it says is that sending mails with PHP is usually less problematic than other languages (IIRC from the last time that I used PHP -several years ago- their mail() function works OOTB almost everywhere, even on shared hosting, and is usually used by default or as a fallback).
Can confirm, it is still very popular, so much so we even built a cloud service to connect FTP to your S3 or Azure buckets, to future-ise it somewhat. Come check it out if it's something you might need, https://docevent.io
You don't _need_ to own an assault rifle shooting range. So you don't _need_ assault rifles. We _need_ encryption to have functioning society. Everyone needs to be able to visit their bank website, email, etc without being robbed, stalked, spied on.

I am okay with being an absolutist about civilians not needing assault rifles. If we're talking about self defense and hand guns, maybe we can have a conversation, but omg what is anyone doing with an AR-15? You can say "having fun" but pretty sure anyone who's being fair would admit that's way past what anyone needs for self defense. Having one very specific sort of fun is not a need or a good justification for the damage these things do to the net safety of our society.

> had they not saved it somewhere safe?

I had to delete 2 user accounts because they hadn't saved the key at all. All others had saved and were able to recover access. However, most didn't even realize they had saved it until I asked them to check their phone storage. A normal user would do anything to get past dialogs and popups, including clicking on random buttons.
> the natives just willingly gave away all those natural resources

The native Americans didn't even know about most of the natural resources, and what they did know about, they mostly didn't make any use of. That's a big part of why they ended up losing the wars against the European settlers: the latter actually turned those resources into wealth.
I think you’re overthinking it.

Certain studies gain so many upvotes on HN because they generate interesting discussion, and may be worth storing in our favorites for sharing and/or future reference.

I almost always upvote articles when there is interesting discussion (or the potential for interesting discussion) related to the article. I very rarely (but do sometimes) upvote articles solely based on the content of the articles themselves.

Or rather, I’m much more interested in a collection of people’s thoughts vs. a single person’s thoughts.

> Your mileage may vary but, on average, I find the time lost to bookkeeping is dwarfed by the time saved on not having to use testing to verify invariants which are upheld by the type system.

Memory management is orthogonal to type checking. I agree with you that static type checking has advantages but that is not what I meant by bookkeeping. The bookkeeping is Rust's borrow checker, explicit memory management in languages like C, or even weak references in some languages. This is time lost which wouldn't have been lost had the programmer choosen to use a language with tracing garbage collection.

In fact, you can think of automatic garbage collection as the language upholding certain invariants about memory that the programmer otherwise would be forced to ensure themself.

Thus a Java programmer has to think less about memory handling than a Rust programmer. Less to think about means less bugs. You may argue that it is worth it because Rust is faster than Java. I have not seen benchmarks that proves that but, even so, I can count on one hand the number of times Java's gc has caused significant problems even in performance sensitive code.

> Second, I haven't tried closures with rust-cpython yet but, for functions, the py_fn! macro is how you wrap a Rust function into something you can inject into a namespace in the Python runtime.

Right, it's an engineering problem so I'm sure it's solvable in Rust. After all, it was solvable in Factor which is a gc:ed language. My point was that I doubt Rust's lack of gc makes it easier to embed CPython.

Cooking meat in a pot of 212F water is boiling it, because water is an excellent conductor of heat. Cooking meat in a 212F grill is barely cooking at all, because air is not. 225-240F is the "low" end of "low and slow" in a smoker setup.
A hardware key is a resilient tool which can be taken out of the house, safe in the knowledge that no one can crack it open and get the keys inside.

You can have other forms of authentication — PostIts with backup OAUTH codes, console passwords, root password etc — but those have to stay at home in the vault because a piece of paper in the outside world is too dangerous to lose.

You want both. You’ll lose your hardware keys eventually.
I also don't know why the author thinks HSMs cost "hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars". In the first place, TPMs are a subcategory of HSMs and don't cost that much. In the second place, HSMs like the Microchip ATECC608B cost <$1 for the bare board.

The "copy into a folder" is true because PHP is usually configured within HTTPd, but it's also true for any other script that is configured to be loaded on demand (CGI, Python). But you still need to manage a server unless the server is manager for you. However, shared hosting used to offer HTTPd+PHP only. With other languages usually you have to manage the server cycle by yourself, that's why it's not easy as copy-paste.
The quote below struck me as odd:

"The emergence of it [tenure] in the US, in fact, helped place the US on good footing to compete at research with Europe, which does not have that institution as much."

because AFAIK many European universities had something like tenure already. In Germany (like today) professors were government employees that could not be fired. I think this had been the case since Humbold and was part of having academic freedom as a pilar of the system. I think both French and British universities had a similar concept. So it is weird that tenure is being painted as something special to the US.
How is this a problem you can fix with money? Isn't it necessary, first of all, to change human expectations of life, and perception of wealth? I say your project is impossible.

My biggest gripe with a security key right now is that there is no clear way to build the habit of using it.

Basically every site will offer to "never ask from this device again" and then I have a key that I haven't used in a long time.

Which, yes, I can use nothing but incognito windows, but that is too extreme and a single time I forget breaks it. Why can't I set it so that I need to use the key once a week?

People that care about catching OOM failures will simply have to use other crates that have a more complex API, but that's what they want

I was just saying it is a right choice in the alloc crate, which is meant for user space programs, to simply panic on case of OOM, because otherwise the API would be more complex for everyone.
Maybe they are highlighting the competition aspect.

There's a hacky way to back up messages sent on IOS, if you sync messages to desktop client, because it stores messages in a SQLite database. While encrypted, encryption key for the database is kept as plaintext in a JSON file. :)

On Windows:

1. Download "DB Browser for SQLite" https://sqlitebrowser.org/

2. Unpack it and run "DB Browser for SQLCipher.exe".

3. Open database, select "%APPDATA%\Signal\sql\db.sqlite".

4. In the following dialog, select "Raw key" type and enter the encryption key stored in "%APPDATA%\Signal\config.json" into Password field (prefix it with 0x).

5. Now you can work with the database, including exporting its contents to unencrypted SQLite, CSV and JSON.

The process should be similar on other platforms.
I often think this factor is vastly under estimated. The US geography is almost the perfect design for building a prosperous and stable society. A massive breadbasket of fertile interior flanked on each side by coastline with access to trade with all corners of the earth but still isolated and highly defensible. Every natural resource you could possibly need available in abundance without ever needing reliance on external countries. If you were sitting down to a game like SimCity and constructing a country you'd probably make something like that, but here it was "by accident" just ripe for the industrial revolution to take hold and transform it.
Intersestingly enough, set builder notation has made its way as "list comprehension" or even "set comprehension" into many programming languages now.

a laptop that starts at $1470 with a 802.11n wireless network interface, in the year 2021? seriously?

Good luck with that when you want to copy some large files, or do anything network intensive, and your speeds max out at 65 Mbps between laptop and AP. As compared to the easily 300-450Mbps you can do in a 40 MHz channel with a 2x2 802.11ac connection. (Not even going to get into 3x3 and 80 MHz channel speeds here).

looking at the librem 14 product specs page I can't even find any details on what exact chipset and antenna configuration it is.

At that price it needs to be 802.11ac/ax 3x3 MIMO dual band.

Overall it makes me wonder what other shoddy stuff might be used as various subsystems/components of the laptop, if I sat down with one and did "sudo lspci -v". For this "Gigabit Ethernet Adapter with Integrated RJ45 Connector" am I going to find a realtek chipset that belongs in a $430 laptop you can buy at Best Buy?

And then they have the gall to sell the power adapter separately from the laptop, for an extra $59? What brand new laptop on earth doesn't come with an AC wall adapter/charger in the box?

> writing out a type (= a few characters) is negligible anyways when compared to the time you spend thinking about what the type is

Writing out a type is only a few characters if it's a type that's already built into your type system. (In which case, as others have already pointed out, you probably won't have to write it anyway in a statically typed language because the type system will automatically infer it. But in such cases, you're not gaining any documentation benefit from it.)

If it's a type you're having to invent as part of writing the code, writing it out everywhere it gets used can be a lot more work.

> I have to think longer in python because 1) APIs not always well documented

Meaning, not well documented compared to APIs in other languages? That hasn't been my experience; my experience has been that API documentation pretty much sucks everywhere.

> a well documented API that uses statical types is still easier to use due to the automatic compiler/IDE support

If you use an IDE, perhaps. (I don't; I find that they cost me more than they save me.)

That doesn't make them at all the same. Just a few differences:

* Crypto has not killed people, guns cause mass shootings at schools, malls, and movie theaters.

* Crypto makes certain classes of theft impossible. Guns make revenge possible, and threats possible. Guns do not make any classes of theft impossible.

* Crypto increases our civil liberties (freedom of assembly, speech), and overall safety (bank website is trustworthy). Guns decrease our confidence that our kids won't be shot at school, that we won't be attacked at a movie theater or a bar.

* If everyone has crypto we truly are safe. If you let everyone have a gun, would you feel safe? The best you can hope when that one crazy person shoots your family member is that you shoot them back, but you don't get your family member back do you? Guns don't _prevent_ crime effectively but crypto sure does. They can deter, they can administer payback, but they are generally a destructive force vs a preventative one.
Unless your house burns down, or you get flooded out, etc.

Current landscape of chess platform as I understand it:

lichess: non-profit, free and open source, community oriented,
high quality tech, growing userbase, amazing founder ornicar, much loved by its users and supporters including me. Regular online competitions well attended but doesn't organise major events. Doesn't really do things like video lessons or partnership with streamers as far as I know, probably due to non-profit status and community focus.

chess.com: for-profit, the largest user base, led by IM Danny Rensch. Tech is not as good as lichess but still okay-ish. Organises major events with GM commentators. Has partnerships with major streamers, such as the most successful (but controversial) US number 2 GM Hikaru Nakamura. I used to support them before lichess got big.

chess24: for-profit, led by GM Jan Gustaffson, much smaller than chess.com and lichess, supported by current world champion GM Magnus Carlsen. Tech is worse than both lichess and chess.com. Also organises important events, and also produces high quality content such as video lessons. I'm considering supporting them too as I watch a lot of their content but I just enjoy playing on lichess too much.

One fascinating thing is how both for-profit chess.com and chess24 have much worse tech than non-profit lichess despite presumably large budgets. For example chess24 platform has been under development for years and has become a running joke even for its employees. You'd think a chess website would be fairly simple tech in the grand scheme of things but clearly it's still hard to do it right. A testament to how impressive lichess founder and community is.
I have tried many note-taking apps. From Evernote to Google Keep to OneNote to Standard notes yo plain old notepad to Zotero to Word and really honestly many more.

If you say this list is all over the place, then that is because requirements vary depending on purpose, not the other way around.

After almost a decade of experimenting, I have come to realise that the best note-taking tool by far is org-mode.

It is free, it is extensible, it is not going anywhere in next decade+, it let's me encrypt on my own terms, it let's me store and share on my own terms, it is as lightweight or as heavyweight as I want, it can be as pretty or as ugly as I want, I can edit it anywhere, search and organization is ridiculously advanced compared to anything else out there (or everything else is ridiculously behind).

Its biggest strength and arguably biggest weakness is its tied to Emacs. It is a horrible learning curve for beginners, which is why it took me a decade to get to org-mode in the first place, but once you have climbed that hill, you are basically on top of the world.

Everybody serious about note-taking should give org-mode a try.
Being open source does not mean they aren't commercial. IMO using a .org as their only domain is flat out misleading: the honest way is to have only the source code and community in the .org and the commercial offering in a .com.
Yes. In the trial I described, I used a 225 F oven for about 2 1/2 hours to get the meat internal temperature to 165 F. Then I lowered the oven temperature to 170 F and, wonder of wonders, 8 hours later the internal temperature of the meat was, right, 170 F.

I did all that in a covered roasting pan in an oven.

But even on a grill, if have the internal temperature at 165-170 F, an air temperature on a grill of 170 F will, bingo, keep the meat internal temperature at 165-170 F.
There is one speaker who Talks about refractorating, sorry I forgot his name, who always leads with this: [if we changed this constant the function could also do this and we can save a lot of code.] "And what do we call a constant that changes? A variable!" And than he uses it as a parameter. Reminded me of him.

'...so you'll get lots of revenue for non-book things too.'

If you refer via a the books category and then someone buys from some other random category you get a much lower percentage. This has been a recent move and makes such tactics very unprofitable - for good reason too.
Like any abuse fighting, your goal is not to make guns impossible to get (which is impossible), your goal is to make it as expensive as humanly possible, which decreases how many people have them and increases overall societal safety.

Also mobsters get rid of guns that killed people because they can lead to stiffer penalties. So taking legal guns out of circulation and then making strong deterrents for possession of illegal guns does help achieve this aim, you're decreasing the overall supply and driving up their prices.
> a 16:10 screen would definitely be up there.

I’d take it a step further and suggest 3:2. Yes, more pixels (for matching X-dimension pixels) means more power draw, but you get a slightly increased height which is valuable real estate. And that small bump won’t be that much more noticeable when watching media full screen compared to 16:10. 4:3 offers much more, but it gets a bit silly and letterboxing would get pretty heavy, and if you want to HiDPI the display at 2x, that’s a ton more pixels compared to the sibling ratios.

Examples:

- 1920x1080: 2160 (16:9)
- 1920x1200: 2400 (16:10)
- 1920x1280: 2560 (3:2)
- 1920x1440: 2880 (4:3)

But I’m with you on all the other points.

Why are these people working for you and not just doing their own thing?
For the purpose of playing the game, as opposed to collecting, why is it not possible to simply print a copy of the card, and play using it?

If it’s a legal/copyright issue, couldn’t you arrange to ‘rent’ this card for the duration of the game, or for inclusion in your deck from an owner / collector.

It seems ridiculous, as you mentioned, that playing the game is hampered, or not possible, due to the collectible nature of the playing cards.
