File system access definitely had issues for WSL 1. WSL 2, however, is much perkier.

FYI, WSL 1 and WSL 2 are completely different architectures, so you have to explicitly upgrade your instances from 1 to 2.
Not a single day goes without seeing critical piece appearing in one of the listed sites:

https://www.ndtv.com
https://scroll.in
https://thewire.in

All of the foreign sites which are often very critical of the government like Aljazeera and BBC are also freely available. Note that scroll and wire are very left oriented and highly critical of the govt. So you need to balance the news with other medias. Even well established news papers like thehindu.com (leftist, run by leftist student leader N.Ram) and hindustantimes.com (run by opposition party) are also very popular and critical of the govt.
Why not just call it what it is: fraud. They tried to deceive the maintainers into incorporating buggy code under false pretenses. They lied (yes, let's use that word) about it, then doubled down about the lie when caught.

Show HN: At Deploy – Generate Custom Ready to Use API’s for Building Web Apps
The author of this Ransomware [0] scrounged through the trash heaps and smoked cigarette butts. He walked 10 km one way to the school. He wore the same clothes for six months. In his youth, in a communal apartment, he didn’t eat for two or even three days.

By the way, the guy donates money to open source projects.

Netflix probably interested in his story. He is like Digital Version of Pablo Escobar.

> There is no gay male equivalent of similar status to Audre Lorde.

"Similar status" is frustratingly vague if someone wants to argue this. Fame? Whitman. Canonical? Wilde. Political? Gunn.

> And there is no lesbian equivalent of John Waters.

You're implying the difference must be something quite fundamental, but every time I read a statement like this I'm reminded of Gregory Corso's comments when someone asked him why there were so few women among the beat writers.

There were women, they were there, I knew them, their families put them in institutions, they were given electric shock. In the 50s if you were male you could be a rebel, but if you were female your families had you locked up. There were cases, I knew them, someday someone will write about them.

Hey everyone,

This Firat, one of the creators of At Deploy. Me and my co-founders Tolga and Ege build At Deploy to create backends for your application without writing a single line of code.

I don’t know if you ever find yourself frustrated and discouraged because you fell short on doing something. Tolga is a full stack developer, but me and Ege are not. So, we had moments where we got angry because of falling short on building something.

There are a lot of tools where you can make designs, websites and integrations. But we wanted to have something that will empower us to overcome barrier of building backend structure of an app. (At least some part of it)

So, we created AtDeploy to generate ready to use API’s for your apps. So, front-end dev & designers can create web apps easier and faster.

For sure right now there are some limitations for what you can build with AtDeploy but here’s some examples what you can build;

- Twitter Clone API

- Reddit Clone API

- Online Learning App API

- Video Streaming Service Clone API

- Medium Like Publishing App API
Lock down is needed in India for lot of the Morons in our country who were taking things so lightly after the first wave we all deserve the lock down so we can learn a hard lesson, and stupid people die of covid19.

The second wave is all because of the central & State Govt and people's foolishness & ignorance. Unfortunately its because of our stupidity its the people of the lower income class have to suffer the most, the daily wage miggrants & people who are contract employees. If only all the organizations took all the right steps we wouldnt have been in this situation. The entire govt mechanism failed from top to the grassroot level, local muncipalities did not bother and neither the people.

I hope at least this time, we all learn the lesson.
^^ Agreed.

> IMO Elon Musk just has lucky genetics and doesn't need much sleep, always has high energy.

I remember him explaining that 6 hours was just a sweet spot (not the highest energy spot), that he would have more energy with more sleep but it wouldn't be enough to compensate for the lack of hours available in a day. Or something to this effect.
borrowing money right now to buy something is not a bad idea... (i think) If they have just printed a ton of cash (they did) that means at some point it will correct. Meaning you in the long term might beat the interest rate if inflation gets higher than that. just an idea.

From my own readings, I thought that there is very good evidence adults don't bother to correct children in a lot of cases, and that children ignore the corrections completely anyway. They also don't seem to make the kinds of mistakes that you'd expect.

A great summary of some of some research I've been reading on this is the paper [1]. Also Steven Pinker's early work [2] is fascinating and easy reading.

I would love to bring myself up to date though, if these things have changed lately. Any help appreciated.

South Dakota is #3 in cases per capita and #10 in deaths per capita in the US. It's August-November stretch was just brutal, peaking with a death rate of 200/1M for the week of Nov 16.

Sure it's raw numbers may not have been as dramatic as NY, a state with over 20x as many people, but it definitely was not example setter.

Edit: My numbers are based on data I collected from NYT, but Worldometers shows SD as #2 in cases per million and #9 in deaths per million:

Sure but I think GP’s point is that the amount of criticism & headlines Bitcoin gets for its energy use, fairly or unfairly, appears orders of magnitude more than other areas, like online gaming (or dozens of other industries).

Probably because, as you point out, there’s a lot of money and companies in those other industries. And those industries would rather not make headlines for negative environmental, or other, reasons. (Legal apparatus, lobbyists, etc etc)

We agree, that technology does not yet exist which is why Disney can screw people over unilaterally.

>Disney could change to not routing in that way

Yes but the point is that if the DAO comes to represent a large volume of intellectual property, then the DAO becomes valuable in and of itself. If Disney chooses one day to no longer participate that's perfectly fine, another company can come and take Disney's place and distribute whatever movies, books, music is represented by the DAO. DAOs, as they exist today, have mechanisms in place to allow new participants to enter as well as ways to kick out existing participants in much the same way a contract has such mechanisms.

>I mean you can wave your hands about some theoretical system...

This is akin to a thought terminating cliche.

Creative discussions about future technologies are valuable ways to stimulate ideas and I know just personally as a business owner I have benefited tremendously from them. If you don't find them valuable you can choose not to participate in it from the get go, but it's kind of awkward to start a discussion about the future and then turn around and dismiss the conversation as a whole.

Having said that, objecting to this kind of technology by pointing out potential problems and concerns is absolutely valuable and should be welcomed... my only objection is dismissing a conversation altogether whose very nature is exploratory and hence vague and open ended.

I was analyzing the activity in the netdata project and what I found interesting was this project is less active than I would have thought. See the following for insights into the project:

https://public-001.gitsense.com/insights/github/repos?q=wind...

In the last 30 days, there were 2 frequent and 3 occasional contributors. I honestly thought frequent contributors would have been much higher, which leads me to believe the project is quite mature and they don't need a lot of people to work on netdata.

Based on Crunchbase, they've raised about 33 million so far and if the number of people required to maintain netbase is low (relatively speaking that is), I can see them not really needing to worry about making money and I'm guessing they are finding value in gathering data for ML.
According to one of the researchers who co-signed a letter of concern over the issue, the Minnesota group also only received IRB approval retroactively, after said letter of concern [1].

Yes, and it took a long time and really pissed off the sales person. Apparently I was the only one to actually read that stuff.

I think I must have been the only one ever to opt-out.

People keep saying this but I don’t understand the difference. Engineers only want to have constructive arguments with each other if they feel committed to the project and happy about their place in the organization. If people feel that their job is on the line or that argumentation will not lead to any constructive output, then they will not engage in such an activity. Can you explain the difference between being happy and engaging in behaviors which a happy person engages in?

Maybe it would be helpful to use the term other than “safety”? Is there a synonym for a psychological safety that would get cross what you’re thinking about better?

I guess they got the answer to their research on what would happen if you keep submitting stealth malicious patches to the kernel: you will get found out and banned. Made my day.

This sounds interesting, but to get a good discussion going on HN, there needs to be more than just a signup list. People need something to take a look at and a way to get into the details. For a product like this, that can't be tried out online, options are to have a video that shows the details, or a blog post that dives into them, including photos. HN readers want to know how a thing works.

If you want to put something like that together and try again, email us at hn@ycombinator.com and I'll be happy to give you some more tips. See also https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22336638.
What I dont get... why not ask the board of the Linux foundation if they could attempt social engineering attacks and get authorization. If Linux foundation sees value they'd approve it and who knows maybe such tests (hiring pentesters to do social engineering) are done anyway by the Linux foundation.

Honest question though, what abstraction do you use in place of React?

I don't disagree that it's pretty obtuse, despite loving working in it. I miss being able to look up the source of Backbone.js and gain a real understanding of why something was happening. Maybe I'll get to that point in React, but it seems much harder to grasp what the source is doing.
Just looking at alexa (or facebook's unethical early research), there will be a social engineering aspect to it too.

Just coffee or anything with caffeine?

I'm really curious for a source on this, considering how much coffee I drink weekly.
On its own, sure. But we're already seeing the effects that herald that destruction: rising sea levels, changing weather patterns, etc.

The modern capitalist civilization we've built is actually extremely fragile precisely because it has optimized so carefully for the current circumstances, throwing away safety measures, buffers, and redundancies as inefficient wastes of money. So if, for instance, the droughts in California continue to worsen, we may see a huge chunk of the almond industry literally dry up and blow away. And you might not care about almonds specifically, but it's just one more warning sign that the whole system is running close to its limits, and more and more parts of it are going to start to fail if we don't show some damn responsibility and stop wasting, just as a for instance, hundreds of terawatt-hours every year on something whose sole practical purpose is to enrich a bunch of Silicon Valley tech bros.
Signal CEO Hacks Cellebrite iPhone Hacking Device Used by Cops
That's an issue with WSL1, which translated system calls from Linux to Windows. Unfortunately the Linux and Windows filesystem drivers are radically different; many operations that are fast/cheap on linux (eg checking file metadata, which is stored in memory) are super exensive on the NT kernel (eg metadata involves reading the file from disk, and running any programs that have registered event handlers for file reads... like virus scanners and context menu items). So Git, for example, which on Linux keeps its state spread across thousands of files' metadata, was a dog.

WSL2 takes a different approach: HyperV was always good at thin VMs... they took it to the next level and made WSL2 a super thin VM. Now performance is near native, depending on your benchmark.

Bias: I work at MS in an unrelated area. I run Arch as my daily driver, but am damn impressed by the engineering in WSL2.
How is this better than Kickstarter?

Someone can put up a Kickstarter and say that "people who pledge at level X will have their name in the acknowledgements. Pledge at level Y and you'll get your name in a footnote in one of the chapters."

You can do this, but it has consequences. Money is not inherently valuable. It's a medium we use to store and exchange value inherent to scarce goods and services which people demand. To be a stable representation of value, money must also be scarce. This is a fundamental concept of economy, not something decided on and enforced by government.

The money a government gives to citizens must come from somewhere. They could liquidate assets owned by the government, borrow it from another government, take it from entities who are subject to the government's authority (taxes), or - what I assume you're getting at - just make more of it.

That last one isn't as simple as it sounds because it doesn't increase the cumulative value of the currency. Printing dollars is like dividing a pizza into more and more slices. It doesn't increase the amount of pizza. Inflation is a very real problem that has annihilated economies.
You can't just claim an unknown entity framed you and hope to get anywhere. Heck, you could just as well claim that Cellebrite themselves had it in for you.

Cellebrite has never claimed any particular exploits in Signal. Signal is exploitable in this particular way for entirely obvious and common reasons.
Same. Sometimes I forget a function name or method call (especially when using a language I use rarely) and just use stack overflow for the example and as soon as I see it I'm like "ahhh". No need for copy/paste.
I'm not an expert, but in my experience working with CUDA/OpenCL/OpenGL, GPU latency usually comes down to data transfer and reduction operations (like max or sum). If you are okay with some kind of double-buffering, you can usually "hide" those latencies.
Run Samsung iTest on iPhone
I don't know about simpler :)

My preference is to eliminate the OS discrepancy by making Docker images the building block of the stack in dev environments, CI pipelines, and production deployments. This means you pay a constant and predictable amount of operational complexity, but eliminate the entire class of constraints caused by cross-platform variability. Seems like a good deal, trading a variable cost for a constant one.

Then you can use Bash! Or fish, or some hipster shell you found on lobste.rs. Just install it in the Docker image.

Well, or do what an ethical research would do and seek authorization from the board of Linux foundation before doing any (who knows potentially illegal social engineering attacks) on team members.

So pretty much, this starts an RDP server on the WSL side, with Windows acting as the client. I liked the old solution of running a Win32 X11 server and connecting to it from WSL more.
It would probably benefit pedestrians as well.
One cannot always just tell police to enforce restrictions and that is that. Courts have the right to review laws and decrees, after all, and in some countries courts have found that the government exceeded its authority by imposing mask laws, social distancing, or business closures. Consequently, police could give you a fine, but that fine would be dismissed when you go to court. After a series of defeats in court, ruling parties may then ask police to stop enforcing the restrictions, because the embarrassment could help cost them the next election.

Again, COVID restrictions ultimately require some kind of mandate from the people. If a country’s government is unable to legally impose restrictions within its current constitutional order, and it is unable to gather sufficient votes to amend the constitution, then it will simply have to limit itself to public-health measures that the people will accept.
