What does xoring mean for combining two boards that have pieces in the same position? Is there a use for such an operation?
I think that's pretty typical in the world of audio in general. The average consumer has to do some fairly extensive digging in order to really understand what is available to them product and feature wise. What's new, what's old, etc.. And the info is almost always through third party reviewers.

I'm not so sure more marketing dollars would change that. Apple has the uncanny ability to generate immense amounts of buzz whenever they announce something.
It doesn't. It has the same 4 lanes, PCIe 3.0 flash as everyone else.
Proper ACLs exist on Linux these days as an alternative to user/group permissioning as well for use cases which call for a more powerful system.
It's simply a block, and fish specifies blocks with "begin" and "end".

begin; cat file_1; cat file_2 | grep something; end | sort

(note that this is distinct from a "subshell", which has a separate environment and typically is more confusing than helpful. In this particular case it doesn't matter)
This is a lot of really well expressed information that completely fails to grapple with the fact that most developers write code for the web and apple computers are extremely popular among web developers.

All of the things you mentioned are also true of intel macs, which again are wildly popular among web devs of all kinds.

If you can't explain the popularity of those machines in spite of those limitations, I don't see why I should accept those as reasons why apple arm computers won't be popular.
> This means Apple Music subscribers will be able to hear the exact same thing that the artists created in the studio.

They really meant, "able to hear the exact same recording that the artists created in the studio." They didn't mean, "able to hear the exact same music that the artists created in the studio."

But even this isn't true. Many people can't hear the entire range of a recording, anyway.
I think the issue is that if you use linux you are usually smart enough to not get infected, windows users are the majority and thus get hit more. What is the term for this phenomenon? I know I read the wikipedia page for this phenomenon in the last year.
Domestic labor. There’s lots of feminist theory on that one.
While I would agree that Windows has had a less-than-stellar security record (as has Unix, for that matter), I don't think an operating system-specific mechanism is at play for enabling ransomware.

The paradigm that all programs run with a set of permissions defined by the identity of executing user is the main fault (i.e. I ran the ransomware and, therefore, the ransomware has access to all files I have access to). That's not unique to Windows.

A capabilities-based permission system would help. I'm not convinced that capabilities will limit the damage to file servers, however. I don't see users or IT admins having the capacity to map out access to shared filesystems on a two dimensional matrix of security principals and applications. Most companies can barely pull it off for just security principals.

If we move away from file servers the new ransomware will move to attacking whatever the next platform is, co-opting whatever "tokens" define the users' and devices' access to applications.

Rate limiting and behavior monitoring are probably our best bets on long-term eradication of ransomware. (That and CoW filesystems becoming the rule, rather than the exception.)

> It also suggests that companies be innovative and constantly expanding their portfolio of treatments.

This is the right approach, both for a company and for society. In fact, it's so obvious, that it's weird anyone thought they needed a report to say it.

Even if you only look at the business side (instead of the human side), only developing chronic treatments instead of cures only makes sense if there's no cure on the horizon. Once there is a cure, the people who sell endless treatments will lose money (they'll make basically nothing & they'll have a lot of sunk cost they can't recoup), while those who sell the cure will make practically all the money.

Besides, the people who run companies also have bodies (who knew?)), as well as family & friends with bodies. Eventually they'll want those cures too.

Same for me. And fish is so much nicer that I’m not willing to use a less ergonomic shell on the system I use 99% of the time for the benefit of having it act exactly like the 1% environments.

And FWIW, those 1% environments don’t look and exact exactly like my local system, where I have a nice prompt configured and there are lots of aliases and functions I use frequently. My local bash is nearly as different from my remote bash as my fish is from bash.

The native NT kernel APIs are "undocumented" and meant for private use inside Microsoft only.
NUCs are more powerful, use more power and still cost more. A 5v 3A power supply is only $6.50 USD on amazon. A tiny SD card and case don't cost much either. Even with 8GB of memory you still come in way under the cost of NUC. Don't forget that there are cheap barebones NUCs that don't have drives in them either.

Microwave retroreflectors are a thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corner_reflector#In_radar Too large for personal use, but one could certainly line a wall with them. Would increase the danger of using such a weapon, to have a significant portion of the signal reflected back at the operator.

> Apple can add feature after feature, but if Music continues to [random issue most people have never encountered], it's close to useless.

I've started to feel like "Apple Music as a music library" was really only intended as a bridge for people like you and me that were reluctant to abandon their obsessively curated their music library for the brave new world of streaming music. After a few years of it my listening habits have changed and I've more or less let go and stopped worrying about the drudgery of maintaining "my library".

I use to be a sound engineer. Those "test" usually with gear they owned and you can of course tell the difference with gear you are use to. Most gear has anything but clarity. Most people will dislike clear sound.

The POINT is blind test 128 MP3 and lossless. Still the vast majority of people don't have the equipment to hear any difference.

The Second POINT is most people prefer to have boomy colored sound and again that ruins the need for lossless. This is why people prefer old vinyl records. It compresses the sound and makes it sound better in most people's opinion. If people would listen to 80s tapes I bet they would love that sound also.

The Third POINT music is heard with background noise all the time. No way while listening to music people could tell the difference and those that can it would require great concentration. There is a limited return of investment for most people.

Personally I own a DAC and a preamp and have my hundreds of dollars headphones and my Genlec speakers that cost thousands of dollars. I hear a SLIGHT difference between 320 MP3 and FLAC and that is 100% concentration and I can hear a difference in only certain types of music. Classical Jazz and Classical music. I can't tell with pop and electronic music which is what most people listen to.
Is there any real reason why we assume were dealing with an physical phenomena induced by an external source(rf/radiation) and not some new variant of post traumatic stress, we are after all dealing with people living/working long hours inside an highly paranoid and potentially very dysfunctional organization.

If there exist an blood test as the article claim it's should point to an chemical source rather then an electromagnetic source of the illness, and if that's the case we are almost certainly looking at American procurement incompetence rather then something nefarious by external actors.

So far there is not a lot of evidence pointing at any kind of illness ray being deployed by nefarious actors.
Perhaps this is nitpicking, but I don't think the issue here is "data stream" vs. not-"data stream".

Perhaps a better distinction is "data stream of characters" vs. "data stream that can express key events (and perhaps other stuff as well)".
Something else that doesn't often get brought up here is that kill(2) itself is an unfixable race condition waiting to happen. It's only safe to use that to signal direct child processes. In Linux, programs should be using the newer pidfd_send_signal syscall in almost every case where they would otherwise use kill(2).

Edit: waitpid is also similarly broken and unfixable for a lot of the same reasons as signals, pidfds and waitid(P_PIDFD, ...) should be replacing most uses of that as well.

Those we regard as "intelligent" are actually capable of more egregious errors than those we do not regard that way. If a person's will is corrupted by vice, then he uses his intellect to rationalize his errors and his vices. And the more intelligent, the most elaborate these rationalizations can become until this person is trapped in the thick fog of his vile theories, unable and unwilling to escape. They become blinded by their own evil constructions which they then transmit onto their students.

While vices like those having to do with sexual depravity (and the resulting mental blindness it causes) are ubiquitous, pride and envy are especially central here. They produce the same contemptuous attitude that leads such people to hate the masses and suppose that if they believe something, then it must be false. It also explains the politics of today.

RabbitMQ went on my "never again" list of things after dealing with it for years as part of OpenStack and projects before that. At the time there wasn't many viable alternatives to AMQP that were OSS and reasonable.

However many split brains and grey hairs later I decided RabbitMQ was almost never worth it regardless of how many of AMQPs advanced features you could make use of.

For the longest time I just made do with Kafka but this had serious deficiencies when implementing queues because of the cumulative ack only nature of Kafka.

Recently I have started using Pulsar which provides selective ack and all the best parts of AMQP without the complexity and unneeded parts. i.e it has things like scheduled delivery and TTLs in addition to the all important shared subscription which makes queues "just work" on top of streams.

If you want something like RabbitMQ but with a simpler API and are comfortable with JVM services give Pulsar a go. It's not for everyone but if you are already using a lot of the big data stack it's probably a good fit.
I agree that moving off of Windows would be helpful, but I'm not sure that abandoning Windows is a realistic proposition for many companies given how much legacy tech exists.

It is amazing how Microsoft can escape all liability for the problems of "cybersecurity". Perhaps this is what happens when competition has been eliminated (not by superior product quality) and there are no alternatives.

It’s a pity that Apple doesn’t provide that feature as a simple option that one can apply to any audio source.
Fundamentally, DS doesn't want to break anything, they just want to scare people into paying their "tax".

I am not aware of any diseases where the US government would not pay for a cure if there is a known cure for it because the price to “how bad is the disease” ratio is too high.
>"No wonder the western countries are taken as fools. They know no one is going to wake up in an "uncomfortable position" by messing with western companies and governments."

You can definitely get into "uncomfortable position" when messing with western countries. But if hacker resides in Russia there is not much the West can do as Russia does not extradite their citizens. The West in this case has to rely on Russia chasing after them and due to a very "warm and fuzzy" relations lately it is not likely to happen as long as those hackers do not mess with the Russia itself.

Sanctions might have helped but since Russia already sanctioned up to it's gills it probably does not care anymore.
If professional full-time legislators cannot understand the legislation they’re voting on, they should not write it to be that unwieldy.
That is a fine point :) It is never 100%, agree.
So then the next question is, is this really an apples-to-apples comparison? It wouldn't surprise me at all if the x86 back-end takes more time to run because it implements more optimizations.
>while those who sell the cure will make practically all the money

Why would they release a cure when they could make more money releasing their own chronic treatment instead?
Especially Marketing
Whether or not this statistic is accurate, certainly a large percentage is in private hands, and this does have security implications.

Nationalization is not the only possible way to harden security.

But we could designate certain key industries as of importance for national security, and thus restrict ownership of it to US citizens only.

Insurance is a key private-sector approach to managing risk, and in an ideal world the insurance companies would enforce their own requirements in regards to security audits, penetration testing, and the like. And failing them would ideally cause premiums to rise. Making such insurance mandatory would be key, in the same way it is mandatory for drivers. This industry is currently immature, partly because of the low demand, and making it mandatory would help correct that. And such insurance would itself be an industry designated to be of importance to national security, along with all related cybersecurity services.

A lot of government-run infrastructure at the state, regional, and municipal level is vulnerable in the exact same manner, and having either insurance coverage and/or federal-level assistance is key. Everything from voting systems to municipal water systems are extremely vulnerable. I know from firsthand that the security practices can be non-existent.

I don't think the article is fair. I'm not used to such lower level on linux, but it is certainly doable without root. SDL has been doing it for ages. Doing it from the terminal is another thing entirely since it was never designed for such kinds of events.
I think this has always been the case no matter what language is used. Body shops push crap, it is just the way of life. It can be crap java, javascript or kotlin the fundamental of why they are shoving crap is not going to change because of the implementation language.

Ask HN: Referal for Tax Audit Rep re: Bitcoin trading
I was hit with a surprise bill from the IRS regarding the 2017 tax year with a warning that a lien may be placed against my assets.

The only thing out of the ordinary beyond my w2 withholdings was that I traded Bitcoin. I was mostly losing money, and the profits were attributable to Bitcoin appreciating. If I had just held over the same time period, I would have came out ahead.

I felt I had done the responsible thing, proactively figuring out how to pay taxes. I treated the Bitcoin as securities and calculated short term gains / losses. At the time, mainstream tax filers like TurboTax did not support crypto. I ended up paying for a service that generated a file I could import to desktop TurboTax, which by the way kept crashing because the developers seemed to have implemented some kind of very inefficient O(n^2) loop to import this data.

I find it strange that the IRS decided now to reinterpret the 2017 tax year, and the number they think I owe them is two orders of magnitude off from the amount I deposited into / withdrew from the crypto exchange.

I've tried calling the IRS, but keep being transferred around. I live abroad with Google Fi, but the connection is extremely unstable and was just kicked off midway after waiting 2 hours to be routed to a potentially helpful IRS agent. I am looking for tax attorneys and representation services that can help me address this issue.
> Why have a special grep flag instead of, yaknow, piping through grep? (A: because journalctl is slow).

No, because it only matches the message field, so you're not grepping anything extraneous like the timestamp or service name. This is also convenient if you want JSON output, which includes a bunch of extra stuff | grep might match.

The performance argument makes no sense, because if it's slow, then --grep will also be. Any slowness is likely before things get to that point.

> Why special flags to load different categories of log? (A: because all the logs are mixed together in a big blob).

And that's a good thing, because it means you can mix everything together and see the interactions between the different parts of the system in the order they happened. And this can be achieved by logging everything only once, rather than having duplicated logs for such an use case.

> (A: because journalctl throws away the logfile metaphor).

That's also a good thing IMO because I don't really care about the details of log storage. Whether a log is named this or that, and is compressed or not, and if the data I need is in .log or .log.1 or .log.4.gz is all a distraction from my actual need -- seeing a particular set of data. The fact that I can just get the log files from Apache from a given date, regardless of what file that happens to be stored in is a good thing.

> I don't know what "boot indices" are, but your other commands with plaintext are as follows:

Per-boot log classification. You can easily ask for the logs since the last time the machine booted, or what happened during the previous boot, and so on. And the list shows timestamps, so you can tell at a glance that the machine last rebooted today, and has been rebooting every 3 hours as of late.

This is very useful if the machine say, crashed and rebooted at some point. So you can just ask for journalctl -b -1, which will give you the log of the previous boot until the crash. You don't have to do any grepping to figure out where is that in the logs, because the system can trivially give you that.
