Haven't played with softflow, thanks will definitely try it, but an initial quick look shows me it's not as easy and straightforward as tcpflow.

I might be wrong, will look at it longer.

But my initial point, which I should have elaborated on: compiling stuff for openwrt is a gigantic pain in the butt.

I tried to compile tcpflow for OpenWRT, installed a VM with the whole toolchain, messed with it for 4 hours and finally gave up when I realized I would have to also recompile a recent openssl to to get tcpflow to link.

Much better to run a "proper" linux distro on these firewall/routers hardware.
Perhaps you don't see how once a product contains a censorship feature, it begs to be expanded. Each step appears reasonable, but at the far side, the censor is very restrictive.
I would guess that would increase the infrastructure/cost for transmission if you have to put them further out to sea.

Ah yes the 5nm chip hobby scene from the 70s :)

If the 2015 works fine for you and you don't need more horsepower, I don't see a need to upgrade. That said, the M1 is a seriously impressive piece of engineering. It's fast and incredibly power-efficient.

The M1 MBP however is definitely not worth the extra money from the Air, imo. It has a brighter screen, marginally better speakers, and a touch bar. If you do want a pro, maybe wait for them to release a new 14/16" model later this year.

Any double-linked structure makes it very much an issue. And before you reply with "who uses linked lists anyway", consider the publisher/listener pattern: a publisher has the list with its listeners, a listener usually knows what publisher(s) it's subscribed to.

At night, to reduce the impact of screen use on your circadian rhythm, I think it's best to use dark mode + a program like f.lux or redshift to reduce blue light (which impacts the melatonin suppression).

Cyc is a different matter. I don't really know how close the project is to achieveing its goals and it always seemed like a bit of a futile moonshot to me, but it's certainly not "a bit of symbolic manipulation you can do in lisp". If nothing else, the sheer scale of a project that has been going on for almost 40 years, should cause a reduction of the arrogance and brashness of proclamations about it.
Is the article saying that's a problem? If there is a problem it's a form of life being destroyed ("Publishers now worry about the long-term health of physical bookstores"). Reminds me of my father taking me to the local VHS rental place when I was a kid. That's gone now. Bookstores could easily follow.

Of course these changes happen due to consumer decisions. It's creative destruction and I wouldn't want to live in a static society. But for people who are attached to the thing that's disappearing, it's a little sad. I've discovered authors by mistake in bookstores. I use Amazon and Alibris all the time but it's not the same as a bookstore.

Thanks for mentioning Pharo Smalltalk, I wanted to widen the conversation also.

I had a Xerox 1108 Lisp Machine from 1982 to about 1986 (did a successful commercial expert system product and used it for technical demos for marketing).

I think that Pharo is the closest thing today to that good old Lisp Machine feeling/experience. An amazing development environment.

Today, I pay for LispWorks Professional that while a great developer experience, is not like a Lisp Machine. I find it easy to get people to pay me to do Lisp development, but not Smalltalk.

> A browser that's always on.

Not when you experience a shortage of service and freeze all your users from doing basic work, not just on one service, but everything else.

They have a point though.

The plague of front-end is that most developers just don't care about performance. Take Redux for example, which for a while was considered a golden standard by many. When you look into it, you see that when one little thing changes in one big global store that has everything, everything else is notified and a comparison is run to see if that item has changed. (If I'm wrong, I'm sorry, but this was the impression I got when I was evaluating that framework). But if I'm not wrong and that's really the way it is, the fact that this framework was accepted by so many, just proves the point that most developers think all their end users have a high-powered Mac.

I could say something similar about virtual dom abstractions. I understand that there were no alternatives earlier (today we have Svelte), but you could still do a good front-end with classic dom-manipulation that was super fast, and with some thought put into it - well organized.

That's assuming the individual is even aware that they're the attack vector. Apps can easily write a suitable file to their private storage that will deliver a payload.

I don’t have any experience with Homeland Security investigations but I know when the SEC begins major investigations they’ll often request the subject of the investigation voluntarily waive attorney-client privilege. Who on earth would do that? Well, just about everyone. Of course they can’t force a waiver of privilege but the implication is that things will go much better for you if you do. The investigation (and subsequent punishment) will be much less painful for you. I suspect there’s a similar implication lurking behind this polite ask as well.
Tell HN: HN Replies Data Security Incident
Just received below email -

Hello,

Your email address used for HN Replies (hnreplies.com) notifications has likely been leaked.

I was notified today that a user of this site received a spam email at an email address used solely for hnreplies.com notifications. I investigated how this could have occurred. For a period of several days earlier this year, a .git directory on the VPS hosting this site was exposed to the internet by a configuration mistake, providing enough information to allow an attacker to access the site's database.

This website stores only two pieces of personal information: a username to follow, and an email address to notify of new comments for that username. This website does not require passwords, so you do not need to change any passwords.

If you'd like to unsubscribe from HNReplies.com, which will permanently remove your email address from the database, you may click here: http://www.hnreplies.com/?unsubscribe=[hash]

I'm sorry that this incident occurred. The configuration mistake was fixed and passwords changed. If you have any questions about this email, you can reply to this email to contact me.

Kind regards,

> Google is literally one of the most profitable companies in the world. It could easily implement a fair, open and transparent appeals process if it wanted.

I'm not so sure. Google's business model is to take a slice of billions of small-value transactions, usually in ad-serving space, while using every bit of automation to minimize its employee-effort per transaction.

I suspect that implementing meaningful human review at the necessary scale would kill those operating margins. Fairly handling an appeal from an app with $10/month in ad revenue would take about the same amount of human time as one from an app with $10k/month in ad revenue.

This doesn't excuse the business model, but I think it goes a long way towards explaining it. As you note, the tail risk here is regulatory -- if a sufficiently powerful government cracks down, it could impose an even more onerous review process than Google would choose for itself, or legislatively rewrite terms-of-use to impose a fairness or good faith standard.

> Suing also isn't at good solution.

Leaving aside the access to justice issue, suing isn't currently a good solution because it's not obvious what right the victim has in tort. Google's terms of service will allow its behaviour, so you'd be left with more speculative actions like unlawful restraint of trade that might require explicit evidence of bad-faith intent.

Or illegal. IANAL, of course, but there are certain cohorts (age, disability, etc.) which are illegal to discriminate against in the US. But since Google doesn't have insight into what a cohort describes, they can't ensure that cohorts are being handled properly according to the law.

I'm sure Google has a "get out of government oversight" card from their lawyers, but like biased AI, this seems like it's on the wrong side of "grey".

I like this refutation of the paperclip maximizer scenario, which ties in to your observation:

Let's say there's a runaway superintelligence equipped with an optimization function that says it should produce a maximal amount of paperclips. Then either its objective, "produce a maximal amount of paperclips" is defined literally or not.

If it's defined literally, e.g. "make your sensors return this data consistent with lots of paperclips having been produced", then it's far easier for the AI to corrupt its sensors with paperclip porn than actually destroy the Earth, and there's no problem.

On the other hand, if the objective is not defined literally, then the AI must be able to understand fuzzy instructions in the way the humans intended it to. In that case, it would be no problem to tell the AI to not be an ass either.

So the problem happens when the AI isn't intelligent enough, and uses heuristics instead of properly optimizing. The extreme case would be grey goo, which doesn't think at all, but just blindly consumes everything. Giving extreme power to something with limited intelligence is generally a bad move.

The publishers usually survive because of the income generated by large bestsellers. This income is what pays for the books that end up not selling well. The vast majority of books don't sell much, so without the popular books, publishers can't afford to publish.

There are many publishers today whose whole operation is basically funded by two or three authors that sell really well. Those earnings offload the cost and losses of the other books.

Unfortunately, musicians suffer from tinnitus and hearing loss. Some of them are deaf in the elderly age. That's why many musicians wear earplugs to better protect their hearing.

I should say, they work great, and I can enjoy the events without fear of hearing damage.

> vertical turbines boost each other’s performance

Meanwhile, horizontal turbines impair each other's performance when they sit in each other's wake.

I remember reading that the loss of power generation was more than previously expected, as you increase the area of the wind farm?

So, it could be financially worth it to optimise vertical turbines, if they work in a more synergistic way.

Yes it's pure XCode project, that I regularly build it and run in the same way. Who would expectg such sequence right? And no! it doesn't work fine all the time, because sometimes it doesn't as I desribed. And I do not bother to deeply search for the cause of it unless I must for my project and also because Apple would not pay me for that and next version would have another stupid bug anyway.

"I'm inclined to think this is more a problem with how you're doing things."
Of course, who would expect to see bug in XCode right? I'll tell you the secret, this is not the first bug I've spotted in Apple product during 10 years.

Honestly I do not even know what their QA team is doing if I can find few bugs manually within 10 minutes of usage ... Yesterday I have found another one with sound system, because they didn't thouhgt about one scenario in their logic. They really should spend their money on people like me instead of wasting their money on QA team that doesn't work properly :) ...Or perhaps I should take a look at their QA team to spot bugs in their working process ))
Like many others, I switched from iOS to Android during a time when it (edit: this transition process) was most fraught with very unexpected failure modes.

I've always seen this as major bungle on their part, and it's one of many reasons I will never go back to their not-so-safe walled garden by choice.
