>Geopolitical trolling is not a Ukrainian thing, like at all

Trying to get Nazi collaborant's slogan on the national football team uniforms is not a case of geopolitical trolling? Yes, Ukraine has significantly smaller capabilities compared to Russia, so you don't hear about it as often, especially in the western outlets, but it still tries to hurt Russia where it can (not to blame Ukraine, it's a logical behaviour considering the currently dominant narrative in the country).

Also note that I have not said that it was done by the Ukranian goverment (altough I would not be surprised considering its sheer incompetence), AIS spoofing can be done relatively easy by civilians with sufficient knowledge and hardware.

>They would never do something as dumb when it comes to NATO or the US.

Sending a diversion group into Crimea was not dumb? Biden has famously scolded Poroshenko for this. What about sending military ships through the Kerch strait without following adequate procedures (IIRC Ukranian military ships have passed it without issues like month before the incident) in an attempt to influence upcoming elections? Compared to those provocations, AIS spoofing is a child's play.

>There is zero reason to.

Getting Russian military into a state of high alert for effectively zero cost? Not that it would work of course.

Those are indeed the two possibilities. But L6->L7 is not done within a single org but instead is a set of company-wide committees, so if it was just our org being supportive of this sort of work then we'd see people hit a wall at L6. But they don't. This is what makes me convinced that committees actually do care about this stuff.

I find that there are two problems that contribute to this belief system.

1. People believe that doing the same work for more time should get them promoted. "Doing maintenance" can mean a variety of things and simply clearing minor issues until the end of time is not necessarily actually changing the landscape of technical debt. Something about the state of the world needs to change or the work is just large scale bikeshedding.

2. People are often truly terrible at measuring the results of their work. This introduces a bias towards launches and new products because their impact is often very easy to measure (there have been processes put in place to resist this force with various degrees of success). But I have seen cases where somebody's work on debt and maintenance is measured by "total number of changes" with zero evidence that the changes are actually useful or valuable. Even just getting some leaders to write down "trust me, this is important" would go a long way and people still fail to do this. Then people complain that their work isn't being valued when that was never the problem.

I do think this is one space where my org has an advantage. Because we do this sort of work so frequently, managers are good at helping their reports measure the actual quality changes in the codebase and build an argument that the work was meaningful.

I also agree that UncleMeat is definitely not one of Zappa's best but I didn't think too carefully about the nic when I created it.

Show HN: Newsstand – A New Google News RSS Reader for Mac OS 9
As far as I can tell, the schema does not allow combined information stating "prior illness" and "1 out of 2 jabs". So it does not even provide enough information for countries to decide if that level is acceptable, even if we had a common deciding policy.

> Don't forget that USA military uses the encrypted P(Y)-code GPS signals

Do they? The whole reason Selective Availability was switched off (and is no longer built-in at all) is that the same US military found that cheap civilian GPS was readily available while specialist military GPS was always back-ordered.

> which can not be spoofed by adversary

Those signals just need a (secret) key, they aren't Hollywood plot magic that prevents spoofing. Your annoying older brother doesn't have the US military secret key for GPS, but I see absolutely no reason to believe that the Russians have somehow never been able to obtain this key.

The more you wriggle on the first point the more salient the second point becomes - if the US military has millions of military keyed GPS units, Russia could trivially steal one. And the less important the second point, the more the first applies - if Russia can't steal these keys because only a dozen military GPS units are deployed, there likely wasn't one feeding this (civilian anyway) AIS transmitter.
Hi all,

I'm really excited to announce a new application I built for Mac OS 9. Newsstand is a native Mac OS classic application that allows you to read Google News across more than 200 curated topics and 24 countries.

I created Newsstand because I wanted to get more use out of my PowerBook G3 computers (Wallstreet and Pismo) while using a native app. Newsstand has been a personal project over the last few weeks and a really fun challenge. I'm ready to release it to all of you, and I'm eager to hear your feedback.

Thanks,
Alex

That is much more musical the Denmark's emergency sirens, which apparently use the "European tone set" of the WPS-2800 siren: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4Qgk886dIg

> so you're incentived to do it at the source level

It's definitely not something I felt the need to do so far - my code is chock-full of high-level abstractions (and a lot of TMP).

Where this helps is, noticing things like redoing a computation every time instead of caching the results, copying things left and right, etc. and more generally preventing "death by a thousand cuts" as just iterating a semi-large array more than necessary will make things noticeably slow if using asan (and, in my experience, slow computers - i've got a non-negligible portion of my user base using things like 2008 entry-level laptops for instance)
But their feedback can still be useful even if it wasn’t delivered tactfully. It’s not wise to outright dismiss expert feedback simply because they were a little mean.
With supply chain attacks, all code is untrusted.

Germany here. Life of many children has become a nightmare. Good luck with any travel with PCR tests, 120 Euro each, and you need at least 2 per child. There's no vaccine for children under 12, and it's officially not recommended for those who is healthy under 16. Many families are now struggling. Even getting a non-PCR quick test which is free requires lots of additional time (this is required for any indoor activity).

That logic makes the "re-use" part of "reduce, re-use, recycle" redundant. You're part of a society that, when acting roughly in tandem, can make large-scale chages. If everyone followed your logic nothing would ever change and, if I'm honest, it sounds more like a rationalisation for indulging in new tech (an impulse which I share!)
Like regular Lua, Pocketlang uses a bytecode interpreter. AFAIK LuaJIT is still the only small language implementation that provides a JIT compiler and not just an interpreter.

I don’t know why that is - maybe there just isn’t much of a niche for a lightweight JIT compiler.

You don't use this system to meet your friends, you use it to go to venues, events, on holiday. Your friends probably don't stand in their front door with a QR validator in hand.

Everyone has had their lives interrupted for a year to save the old and weak, has had their life-saving vaccinations rationed towards the old and weak, and in exchange, the old and weak get to go to concerts without paying for a covid test.

Is that the thanks we get for trying to save their lives? The government isn't helping the younger generations, they didn't vote for them anyway, and the news is full of entitles people demanding to get a stamp to go on holiday before the app goes live.

Is it fair that my human rights are still restricted, while those of the people the restrictions are intended to protect aren't? It doesn't feel fair to me.
> I can imagine you would want to prevent that link.

This very likely is a subjective matter. I absolutely would want my name to be associated to my vaccination details, and will certainly do when it will be my turn to get the shot (still have high antibodies level after catching symptomatic Covid months ago).

That’s what happens now because there are fewer “dissenters” and it’s more work to reply and dissent.

I think if Twitter had an easy way to show displeasure, it would be more common, and thus harder for internet mobs to form around them.

I used to think that no one had time to internet mob strangers so maybe I’m wrong that there’s not enough attention to mob every “meh” and dislike.

This article[1] sheds some light on small arms proliferation. Bulgaria and Serbia aren't even mentioned. While there are still lots of unlicensed rifles in the West Balkans[2], the bulk of small arms still comes from the US, Russia, China and Western European states. They're sold to dictators or given to rebel groups in conflict areas. The former are then stolen, smuggled and resold to rebel groups and civillians.

Agreed.

And make no mistake:

- it is one of my checks when I consider who I vote for

- I do complain to relevant authorities to the best of my ability

- I am willing to put more effort and more money behind it

- I am not alone

================

For everyone who agree but haven't done anything yet, feel free to take any small step, some examples:

- contact politicins and ask them (twitter, snail mail, email, phone)

- contact local consumer protection groups

- generally be vocal about it wherever it is relevant (i.e. don't be an annoying fool): in app reviews, in a constructive way in relevant discussions in forums etc

This serves two purposes: first to make sure politicians and authorites know this is a pain point.

Secondly it also makes sure app makers gets the message.

While I will probably enjoy it too much when certain big companies get their well deserved multi million or even multi billion fines I don't generally want punishment but compliance:

Basically I just want basic decency.

While buying purely local/domestic will reduce your selection somewhat, the majority of what you cut yourself off from buying are low-quality products anyway.

I don't think it's possible to buy purely local/domestic for everything, but for some types of products, the switch is relatively simple and something more people should consider.

One area that I have managed to go fully local in is clothing. Since I live in Denmark, I consider the EU+Norway+Switzerland to be "local", There is such a good selection of all types of clothes produced here, from work wear to casual wear to office wear and especially as you go into higher-end clothing, quality suits and of course anything tailor-made can be ordered made from locally-produced fabrics.

Yes, each individual piece will cost more than an equivalent from a fast fashion brand, but the quality will be on a completely different level. And obviously some raw materials can only feasibly be produced outside your local area, which makes some transport necessary. But I prefer raw materials to be transported relatively directly and unprocessed, so the potentially harmful processing be done in countries with strict regulations on emissions and harmful chemicals, as well as reasonable labor protections.

Unfortunately, as long as people look at price as the primary (or only) factor influencing their purchases, we're stuck with shipping clothing halfway around the globe for no good reason.

Most of the time it isn't my version on OpenSSH client that limits me but the remote software I'm connecting to. If I can generate an Ed25519 ssh key I will, but most of the time it isn't supported.

I'll usually go with the same order of the preference in the article, Ed25519 then ECDSA then RSA. I haven't yet seen a server not support RSA. But fairly recently I had to register an RSA 4096 on a Bitbucket Server because it did not support both elliptical curve algorithms.

So yeah, it's definitely lacking a lot of software support, but I'll use it if possible.

You can firmly hold sharp objects by the sharp end relatively safely; it's the letting go that can be dangerous.

To cut something you need sharp object + cutting motion. No cutting motion means no effect.

I say relatively safe; because of course you're putting yourself in a position where you theoretically can get hurt if you accidentally loosen your grip.

The South Korean position locally is actually not that challenging in a particular sense, despite typical media exaggerations. It's almost straightforward. SK has strong economic and cultural ties to its neighbors that can be accessed to stabilize relations if needed. North Korea is not really a liability in itself. KJU has been acting consistently towards opening up the North Korean economy on NK's own terms, which would benefit both nations tremendously. Those kinds of attempts are being stonewalled by Biden, and that's causing the U.S. to lose favor even among some pro-Americanists. As for the kimchi problem, I don't know what to say. That's the same kind of bickering as when France tells people to stop labeling things as champagne. I understand that those things can get brutal, but it's nothing world-changing. Beneath the headlines, South Korea has been quietly strengthening relations with China, because South Korea is not suicidal. The groundwork has to be laid today for the eventuality of a Chinese economy that is at least twice the strength of the U.S. economy. But even without China, at some point people are going to have to learn to live in a way that isn't dictated by the fears of the American empire.
You would imagine the software and hardware should be several levels above what we would expect to get from even premium brands such as Apple M1 etc. Because it's hard to imagine the pilot trying to restart a piece of equipment in an emergency and getting a blank white screen and a "do you want to send an error report" message coming up.

CRP can’t really confirm an infection. It’s a marker of inflammation. Inflammation often correlates with infection but not always. Can be lots of other things too, including a lot of the things that are false positives on these sepsis algos.

Ultimately doctors have to take the whole clinical picture into account instead of relying on a couple markers or vital signs.

You’re right that a big problem is the inability of our system to do testing at home, which might greatly expand the scope of the clinical picture. But it still wouldn’t be a cure-all

In a lot of those places, it did end because of revolutions, but it was the French and 1848, not the Industrial.
