> because they’ve rightly judged him to be unreliable

This shifts the question to whether Assange is trustworthy or not, which isn’t the main one.

The main question is why Assange was able to get hold of those documents at all. The security is appalling.

The proof has been repeated by Snowden: Again, a single guy, limited resources, not even startup resources, just sole-trader resources, could access half of USA’s secrets at will and most of Americans’ personal information.

Think what enemy state agencies have access to, with resources and spies.

Oh stop it. Now. This was not a reasoned, sensible, measured approach to vaccine information. This was using vaccine hesitancy to score partisan points in a pandemic. Period.

Stop making excuses for it no matter who does it. It's wrong on Fox, on CNN, by Republican partisans, by Democrat partisans. It's equally wrong when done for ulterior motive by non-partisans.
I am not 100% sure, but I think write support for NTFS has been a thing for at least 10 years. At least with the ntfs-3g FUSE driver.
Its outrageous. To coverup a lesser incompetance of not validating who the imposter really was, they tried to frame the innocent Ousmane Bah by deleting the video footage.

If Ousmane Bah didnt have a good lawyer he would be in jail and have his life destroyed already, such actions like this should be treated as a crime of falsifying evidence at least.
Isn’t natural gas one of the easiest biofuels to produce? I even think it’s straightforward to reform from the air. There should be a sustainable solution that allows people to keep cooking on gas.
I do not believe that 'regular' (aka corporate) media's animosity towards real journalists is because they're reckless and unpredictable (though I imagine you'd have to be to be a real journalist). I believe it's because it's an unpleasant reminder that most people who carry the job description of journalist do not have the necessary mindset to do what the job may require of them.
Is exFAT's reputation for data loss/corruption unwarranted?
Anyone who says Bitcoin is used for illegal purposes should be ignored. They obviously are newbies learning about Bitcoin for the first time.
NTFS has journaling,compression, encryption, max 255 character filenames, max partition size is hundred of TB rather than 2GB, generally faster performance wise.

Trouble is , FAT32 has more OS compatibility.

Would be nice if Linux did have first class support for NTFS as it’s superior. But right now for maximum compatibility you need FAT32
You have what I called Latency Sensitive or Jank Sensitivity. The most important thing in these environment is actually not how fast they are ( or how low the latency are ), but the latency being "consistent". With Windows and Android there are micro Jank everywhere. I know because while most people dont notice, I felt a small pin push like pain on the right back of my head every time it happens.
Better than electric, but we switched from gas to induction (magnets) when we redid our kitchen and I couldn't be happier with the change. It heats faster and more evenly than gas and is safer and easier to clean.

The only downside is that you can't heat aluminum with it. I had to replace my moka pot with a stainless steel alternative.
Assange was singled out after he wrote an essay describing an organisation such as WikiLeaks was needed in the political climate we inhabit, he had the foresight to see that Wikileaks was necessary and had the conviction talent and self sacrifice to bring it into being, that's when the knifes came out, and we all knew it, himself included. The rest of it is the circus, a means to an end and those who are getting caught up in details are being manipulated. Without Wikileaks the minds of humanity would have less degrees of freedom, I like Assange want more not less, we need the full 720, these obscured obtuse angles that are afforded to us are only useful for the powerful few. So you either want to be ruled in ignorance where the darkest shadows of men can loom over us without retribution, or you want to walk in the light.

Truth lights the path to enlightenment and its a hard yes that that journey should be allowed for everyone, not just the few. I believe that path is the only way for humanity to live with itself when making the tough decisions that lie in the not too distant future. People are manipulated just as we manipulate computers, to have an output we need input, and those who view the world in these terms and have talent in these areas have use manipulation tactics to control society's inputs. I wont get into sides, there are power mad megalomaniacs everywhere you care to look, as I'm sure Assange is no angel, he is human like the rest of us, but I will talk about what I know, our western world has banned books orchestrated people and imprisioned speech when these power structures are threatened. As they did with Orwell, Miller, Huxley and now Assange.... the choice is simple, truth and hope or deceit and misery, because we will produce an output that directly correlates with our input.

" Oh would some power the giftie gie us, To see ourselfs as others see us" Robbie Burns, This gift burns would realish for himself and all, not a curse for an enemy but a call for transparacncy which is the only way forward. I think the press,the journalists, very much see themselfs as we see them, which is powerless to the manipulation they are experiencing, and its funny that the institutions that he sacrificed himself for are the ones who have been silenced and told to bow, this is no accident, this is a sign to all, a show of power of their manipulation and control.

You can use something like OpenAPI to get code generation for REST, but yes you have to write an OpenAPI spec for your API in YAML...

Not a fan of XML, but I think XML Schema is one of the better Schema solutions I have used. If you doing something with XML and not take advantage of XML Schema it seems like a waste.

XML for markup is okay, but usually I just use a subset of HTML5 when doing that, XML would have the benefit of having XML Schema support for validation, but I have class that can do that for me with HTML5.
The differences in the amount of areas across countries is mainly to do with differences in the amount of suitable grassland. For instance, in countries where lots of grassland has been turned into cropland there are fewer areas. In countries where grassland is dominated by, for instance, pastures there will be more areas.

Thanks for your feedback; i've been thinking of adding a field guide on identification. Also good luck hunting!
Not had chance to look at this in detail but this seems more likely to be an artefact of the rounding in FMADD vs separate instructions rather than a 'flaw' in the instruction.

There seems to have been a similar issue in Chromium a few years ago.

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=401117

Where the conclusion was:

"Having said that, fmadd is doing exactly what it should do; it isn't
broken. The model that gave you a result of 0x4 _is_ broken, but the
hardware isn't."
It's not like that is surprising.

Rent control tells landlords that they should make less of their money from renting out. Just because the government doesn't understand what it is saying doesn't mean it is unfair.

When you have options X,Y,Z and the government says stop X then you stop doing X. The fact that you still do Y and Z isn't a loophole, it's what the government told you to do.

Thanks for the example. The first I've ever met. It's an interesting situation, and I sympathise with your struggle going through that. However it doesn't really affect the subject because you weren't being discouraged because of your gender, which is the thing I was talking about. Many women go through what you went through, but because "coding isn't for women" rather than "computers are evil".

> Your "women are weak and need help" attitude sucks.

Well, the women I helped didn't think my attitude sucks. I even got an honourable mention on a TedX talk on the subject [0] (by a woman). So I think I'll continue listening to them and not you. Maybe you should re-examine your attitudes on the subject?

There's a real gem in that thread:

> FYI: There is also another cross-platform filesystem (Linux kernel,
Windows NT kernel, Mac OS X kernel) suitable for hard disks too with
POSIX permissions about which people do not know too much. It is UDF.

As I was struggling to find a way to share data between Linux/Windows with my gpu-passthrough setup, I'm excited to use this.

I think I've read something about 9p support in the latest Windows versions and I think QEMU supports 9p so that might become a good solution, too.
> CRTs are potentially worse. It takes the electron beam 16 ms to paint the screen. If the electron beam is halfway down the screen and you change a pixel right above where the beam just painted, you'll have to wait 16 ms before you see anything change.

This is exactly the same as LCDs though, no? LCDs are also drawing an entire frame at a time, they're not "random access" for lack of a better term. There's just typically no image processing going on with a CRT* though, so there's no inherent latency beyond the speed of the electron gun and the speed of light.

*I'm aware there were some later "digital" CRT models that did analog->digital conversion, followed by some digital signal processing on the image, then digital->analog conversion to drive the gun.
It's usually the average across a number of exchanges.

What the hell are you talking about? How is it remotely controversial to say that Bitcoin is used for illegal purposes? Have you ever heard of the dark web?
If you don’t want churn, don’t churn.

PDF is not a web format and you’re wasting effort trying to shoehorn print content and a print format for display on the web. Just use HTML and don’t update it, it’s probably easier.
The US has systematic incentives in place to create this kind of system: private prisons and elected local chief prosecutors. Both of those are incentives for false positives.

It also lacks police oversight; the UK has https://www.justiceinspectorates.gov.uk/hmicfrs/ and https://www.policeconduct.gov.uk/ , which while they are far from perfect are at least organizations with the capacity to put out a report saying "here's what went wrong and how it should be fixed".

In the US all police accountability is local, which means that the >51% of the voters who prefer being tough on crime (more false positives in the hope of more "true positives") get what they want.
yes, exactly. My mum, sister, brother and sister-in-law were all listed on the latest facebook leak (with ~500mil others). Yet none of them could be bothered to switch their phone number or get off facebook or whatsapp (even though they got signal and communicate with me on it once I moved away from whatsapp)…

I feel pretty helpless to help them understand the risks. Or they just don’t calculate the risk vs hussle the same way I would??
You can't run an economy on a fixed-supply currency. We've tried in the past.

Bitcoin's scarcity creates an incentive to get in early and hoard your spot on the blockchain. I don't get how that's productive or helps anyone unless you really manage to convince other people that having a spot on the blockchain is something extremely important.
O(n) measures the number of vector operations, but each one operates over a vector, so there are n^2 arithmetic operations. This is also true for perlin noise - there are 2^n vector operations, but the arithmetic complexity is O(n.2^n).

Obviously this ignores the parallelizability of the algorithms, which is probably the more important factor at this point, and the ability to be hardware accelerated.

(Edit: the complexity is outlined on page 20 of the original simplex noise paper[1]. Just ctrl+f "complexity")

Anyone know why? Given ext2 has had a public domain implementation for more than a decade? Is it because windows & mac won't support ext2 even for free? Seems like a better lowest common denominator fs than any of the fats?

>towards anarchy

Yet every democracy seems to tend toward dictatorships according to history.

But I agree the idea behind liberalism is individuals, which anarchy makes sense.

Given I have 3 to 5 government layers, Federal, State, city, HOA, and international law, I'd certainly prefer to get rid of a few of these layers due to corruption.
Thanks for the tip - i'll look into this.

I decided once on a whim/as as adventure to try get a license to use that patent - it's currently owned by Nokia, but they never replied to my inquiry.

Also, Simplex noise is good in some ways but for texture -generation, when I tried it by swapping it in, it had a bunch of artefacts that weren't present with Perlin noise - it's not a simple improvement on Perlin.

My politics are middle of the road by normal people standards. Among people in my bubble (college-educated urban liberals), it’s very difficult to discuss completely normie takes like “we should control immigration to limit cultural change.” (This is a position that’s not only pretty widely held in America, but would be axiomatic in Bangladesh where I’m from and most other countries as well. As far as I can tell, many American liberals think race and culture are the same thing. I’m not sure.)

Talking with college-educated conservatives and expressing similarly normie liberal takes, like “we should let gay people get married” is by contrast not hard at all.

I would have to go out of my way to find some evangelicals in the Deep South who won’t even discuss the idea and dismiss it as “blasphemy” or some such. But that’s really my point. Urban liberals have embraced a worldview (especially on social issues) that’s as ideologically fervent as what I remember about evangelical Christians during the Bush era.
Then why was it used for an arrest warrant? Should evidence not be examined before the warrant is issue? Or can you just claim to have video evidence of a murder to get someone you don't like arrested?
Can you explain what you mean by "portable data storage"? I'm used to hearing the word "portable" used to mean "cross platform", but if it is not supported well under Linux, then given how widely used Linux is, I would think ntfs would not count as cross platform.

Ah yes, the Gell-Mann amnesia affect.

"Media carries with it a credibility that is totally undeserved. You have all experienced this, in what I call the Murray Gell-Mann Amnesia effect. (I refer to it by this name because I once discussed it with Murray Gell-Mann, and by dropping a famous name I imply greater importance to myself, and to the effect, than it would otherwise have.)

Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.

In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.

That is the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect. I'd point out it does not operate in other arenas of life. In ordinary life, if somebody consistently exaggerates or lies to you, you soon discount everything they say. In court, there is the legal doctrine of falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus, which means untruthful in one part, untruthful in all. But when it comes to the media, we believe against evidence that it is probably worth our time to read other parts of the paper. When, in fact, it almost certainly isn't. The only possible explanation for our behavior is amnesia."

An MS Teams video call with 4+ people will get my M1 Air very toasty (because Teams is shit).

Liberty caps are very distinctive and, at least where I live, don't grow near any dangerous mushrooms (open grassland / moor). Unless you were very indiscriminate the risks are very low, and since presumably pickers want the _correct_ mushroom some basic research is assumed.
Android SD cards userbase is probably comparable or even bigger nowadays. And those use fat32 or exFAT AFAIK.
Would this be feasible for normal (edible) mushroom species as well?

Some expensive (and delicious) varieties are quite rare, and a map using data like this could help perhaps.
Thankyou! That is making for interesting reading.
It's a terrible "implementation", but interesting observations we should consider.
I love the basic idea here. Needs polishing if you want to blow this up to the masses.

It’s like my Pi who just does one thing really well, and allows me to tinker on every level if I so choose.
Totally agreed with you, about education, and sorry, nothing against you, reacting more on the article and global behaviors. I know I still have a footprint, I consume a bit of electricity (powering my low-energy laptop, a bit of light the evening, and cooking rice, that's pretty much all, I don't even have a fridge, no kidding), tap water, not much but still (like I don't wash my clothes often, few time a year probly), planning to have dry toilets, not easy in an apartment, but I'll try.

I don't preach for my way to optimize things which is a bit extreme, just for a more achievable end result: cutting by a half our footprints. People can take more pblic transports, train, avoid planes, consume more local food, consume less overall etc..

Cryptocurrency discussions on HN often feel like 90's me discussing how fax machines would be obsolete, not because the Internet offered a better solution at the time, digital signatures were not binding afaik so this was a real barrier, it was because I could see what was down the line, the progression, while sporadic was to a degree predictable, the first time I used video or played games on a phone, I knew other people would want this, same with the first online payment systems, to entertain the idea that the cryptocurrency world in it's entirety is a worthless sham is to miss a lot of very interesting people doing a lot of very interesting work, I hope I'm around to see something worthy come out of the space, it would not surprise me if it takes another 10 years or 6 months.

Look at the history of railways and canals, no one was really disputing that they were game changers, yet the level of fraud, hype and failures is not dissimilar to what we see in this new world, it doesn't automatically mean the idea itself is a dud.
Terrence Malick's To the Wonder and A Hidden Life. To the Wonder is a more "typical" Malick film, but Javier Bardem's character is wonderful. A Hidden Life is a more more straightforward film (for Malick) which focuses on the life of a Catholic beatified for his resistance to the Nazi regime.

Cash is used for illegal purposes. Barter is used for illegal purposes.

Bitcoin is being used for illegal purposes. Ramen is used for illegal purposes.

Ban ramen, Bitcoin, prison yogurt, barter, USD.

Bitcoin is significantly easier to track than cash or Ramen. If you want to get rid of illegal Bitcoin transactions you simply need the government to care. But the real risk is the ramen/USD trade, that can't be tracked. Ban Ramen?
Babette's Feast is also Danish, one of the most well-known and highly regarded Danish films of all time. The other 2 are Dreyer films—I've only seen Ordet so far, and I thought it was just amazing. Johannes is an unforgettable character.

It's a pretty great list, far as I can tell. Dersu Uzala (1975, not 1978) must be in my all-time top 5.[0] I loved Bicycle Thieves—The Bicycle Thief is a bad translation. Yes, it's important to the story!—but much preferred Umberto D. Liked On the Waterfront but vastly preferred A Face in the Crowd.

[0] It's my pet theory that Yoda in Star Wars is based on Dersu. There are many similarities. Seems very obvious to me but I've never heard or read anyone else mention the connection. The plot of the original Star Wars was after all based on that of another Kurosawa movie, Hidden Fortress. See e.g. https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20160104-the-film-star-w...

>It is likely that the attacks on Assange were all in good faith.

Then we got the Snowden leaks and that prior had to be updated...
Just did the math and supporting a ~70F (50F-> 120F) rise at 1GPM (faucets are limited to about this) requires 9kW, or about 40A at 240W. Supporting a bunch of 40A circuits in a typical home would require a massively upgraded circuit panel for most homes -- 200A or even 100A service is common.

A centralized system avoids having multiple circuits with potentially high loads like this. Not to mention the likely gigantic heat exchangers required to transfer 9kW!
