Why would you care about what any error message says? Just stick it in google, apply a solution, and go on with your day.
I've also been using computers since the age of DOS and felt like I loved taxonomies but once I grew up I found out I hate them. A non-system/code file should better only have meaningful (and also easy to view, edit and query) extended attributes (long and short titles only targeting humans, optional description, creation and last update timestamps independent of when you have technically put it into to the file system or changed some metadata about it, content author field, tags letting you "put" it into several categories at once, type-specific properties like the type itself (so we wouldn't have to use stupid "extensions"), picture size, music bitrate etc). Creating strict single-place (symlinks don't help much in this context) short-named taxonomies for real-life non-programmer files is a huge pain and they often feel unnatural. Coming up with file names targeting both humans and traditional file system (e.g. where you can't use colons and have to keep names rather short because of full path length limits) while also optimizing them to leverage searching isn't a pleasure either.

I am sad WinFS never arrived and I am in a constant search of a good cross-platform tagging file manager.
That's pretty much the prices in Norway. To be fair Norwegians do eat out less than in other places as a result of it.
Your comment assumes that the parent commenter was male worrying about females taking their place.

It could equally have been a fear that if more than 50% of women are qualified for the job some will have to be excluded.
The language itself is very interesting. I've dabbled a few times and really like the clean ruby-esque syntax.

What puts me off delving further is the lack of support in various editors / IDEs / Treesitter etc. I think the core development team should really devote some resources to this, as I'm sure I'm not the only one deterred by this dearth of tooling.
In the US they are limited to 20mph, unless you get the 'speed' version, in which case they are limited to 28mph and technically forbidden from most bike trails.

20mph is a pretty decent clip for a (manual) bicyclist, but 28mph is really moving!
The most prevalent countermeasure deployed against lying seems to be identity verification.

For example, to combat lies about the source of money from crime, banks are required to verify the ID (photographic, residential address) of depositors, as are other transactors e.g. property sales intermediaries.

Lies can easily be disseminated via technology, and identity verification as retrospective tracing to origin can be done at the device level, the network level, or both.

However, perhaps we are getting to a point where the default of communications tech will be a much higher level of user identity checking as a precursor to communication and operation of devices.

Although this is a dystopian scenario where a centralised controlling system regulates who can actually even use tech or to what degree, it is easy to imagine that it would be technologically possible.

The concern is that the actions of criminals will be used as an excuse to apply this kind of system and make possible the oppressive restriction of freedoms in future.

That is some hardcore hackery-dackery. It takes dedication and a real desire to learn to put up with such adverse conditions.

I know a chap who, for a while, had spotty access to a PC except for the locked down one he had at work in his (non-programming) job. He passed the long hours making tiny JavaScript hacks in the URL bar.
I'm talking about fire risk, not system stability.

And with proper care raspberries are very stable as well. SD-card is the biggest downfall but for most applications you can either more or less have a read-only system or boot from network.
I want to add the other problem of offline wallets getting lost/stolen/destroyed which results in funds being permanently lost/stuck. Is there any solution to this yet?

If I die my estate can be dished out to family members via estate laws and the banks comply with it.. how does one liquidate cryptocurrencies when I die? My family will most likely not be protected in that case and the funds will be stuck forever.
Except the losing party won't have any money that can be recovered.
> It’s never about you, until it is. You should assume the government will do the maximum amount of evil given the power they are granted.

Add to that: don't only think about what the current government will use those powers for, think about what future governments will use them for. If you're not okay with those powers existing when the party you don't like is in power, you should also be advocating against those powers when your own preferred party is in power. (That is, of course, unless you're a fascist and counting on your preferred party to perform a full 1933 Weimar Germany-style takeover that abolishes democracy.)
If I were a similarly acronym’ed three letter intelligence agency that wanted to shut down a private sector competitor, this is exactly what I would do.
If there's only a few then perhaps. There are how many billion 1 cent pieces? Going to take a long time to get some value out of them.

Coming from Google, top answer to inserting data with python+psycopg2: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61861310/how-to-use-psyc... (no bound variables, straight up format string)

Same route, this time asking about allowing requests between subdomains: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11161526/cross-subdomain... (question specifies they "already use CORS: <star>" and nobody even comments on that)

And let's not forget, PHP is still a thing: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43497587/how-to-display-... (yep, user supplied input goes straight to SQL query string)

---

All of the above were results of about 10 seconds of searching. Each one came from the first page of Google results - because let's be honest, that's what almost everyone cares about.

To be fair, at least these days I can't find the "just use CORS=<star>" answers. They were bountiful two years ago, but maybe, just maybe, have been flagged as cataclysmically insecure since then.

(EDIT: remove asterisks in CORS gripes)
Fat Fritz is not the Only Ripoff and now ChessBase is Getting Sued
I did! Multiple times, including one where I was hit from behind at high speed, injured, the driver stopped and left without helping. I file a claim ("contre X") at the police station and gave them the license plate (which they also heard when I called 911 right after it happened).

This went nowhere, because the police was overwhelmed (that was during the gilets jaunes movement, and the police was busy going after people for destruction of public properties... priority, priority...)
Of course they will attack the problem at the weakest point. No one cares about the Bitcoin network itself. I care about my authorities being able to trace large financial transactions at the minimum impact to privacy. If given the terrible choice between no privacy and no transparency for any transactions - I’d vote for no privacy.
It's not that rare - Iraq, South Africa, Liberia.
It seems to go something like this every time:

* We create new technology.

* There's an explosion of creativity and applications of the technology.

* This leads to an explosion in the personalities involved.

* Some of these gravitate towards the tedium and expound on it constantly.

* Some person or group automates that away and increases the ability to be creative.

* Repeat from the top.

It's always fun to watch the wheel go around though. Never any shortage of commentary on HN about it!
Not for those that don't suffer from XML allergy, so given that, the outcome is almost the same, with the caveat that Gradles uses a ton of more resources than Ant, as it needs its background daemon sucking up 2GB to pretend being fast.
I'd like to see data from other parts of the world, but at least for France, this argument may hold some water.

A crude comparison of business formation between France (with socialized healthcare / retirement) and the US (without those), shows that the numbers are fairly close. Data is for 2020, which saw a 4% rise for France, whereas in the US numbers were stable. France also doesn't have as much of an "entrepreneurial" culture as the US, meaning people are much more likely to "look for a job" rather than found their own business.

France: Population: 67M, 850 000 new Business, 12 700 / 1M pop.

US: Population: 331M, 3 600 000 Businesses, 11 000 / 1M pop.

If you count in inflation over the years you have those pennies in your closet, this would make barely any sense.

Don't understand why people believe in that besides considering this some sort of an hobby, like collecting other old currencies, stamps, historic cars, and other historic stuff.

Yes you could get lucky and have this one in a million penny, art work, car which was undervalued at first glance. Remember that photograph of Billy the Kid, or so that was sold at a junk yard sale? But you should not count on this as an investment. It is a hobby and you may be the lucky person but 99.9999% will not be that lucky person.

It must be a horrible work of hackery to turn a smartphone based on iOS or Android into a useful device.

Kudos to him. If he was able to do that, then development shouldn't put up much barriers anymore.

I would totally buy him a decent PC though.
This was good for a chuckle:

> On Android, we must cross-compile from a desktop with the Android Native Development Kit, ironically software that doesn’t run on Arm processors.
Microsoft has the ISO specs.

Microsoft was also so appalled by the ISO's modus operandi that they chose to publish their open specs with the ECMA that doesn't impose a paywall.
The overwhelming majority of pennies are not rare, even if they were abolished. There would be many millions (billions?) of coins which aren't really good for much except the material they are made from.

Even if you had the time to inspect every penny you planned to melt to see if it was worth something meaningful, the return you'd see would likely not even begin to cover the time you'd spent looking through all those pennies. Unless you had a machine (which costs money) a few hundred dollars is unlikely to make the effort profitable.
Built a chart that was accurate (it had correctness). The business didn’t like that the chart was showing the truth (the numbers are the numbers). Was asked to just put the real numbers (since you can’t lie about the numbers), but ditch all chart functionality and have it render in such a way where the numbers don’t represent the truth (50% needed to look like 30%).
Scam “Freedom Phone” for the paranoid MAGA crowd
time to shut down this company.
It will kill the speculative market. Their native use cases in their own systems will still be 100% viable. If someone uses for example bitcoin cash or miner as money as they're intended nobody can do a thing about it. For those people uninterested in off ramps this means little.
So if I give up just this little bit of privacy, all of those concerns melt away to nothingness?

Or is it more likely that I give that away and nothing else really improves?
It might have been a while ago- here [0] is a link to a press release from 2005 saying that the isotopic enrichment of silicon-28 for the Avogadro Project (to redefine the kilogram using a perfect sphere of isotopically pure single-crystal silicon-28) was done at two Russian institutions.

Here [1] is a 2004 press release from the International Science and Technology Center, whose first objective is to "Provide weapons scientists in the CIS the opportunity to redirect their talents to peaceful activities." Page 9 describes their involvement in the Avogadro Project.

Here [2] is the project description on the ISTC website.

The murder may count as gang violence whenever one of person is associated with gang - even if actual event happened due to jealousy or other crap. And being associated with gang can be also just due to who you know.

The point is, gang violence as aggregate is not meaningfully different from other violence.
Hackers user crypto for ransomware because they can easily launder the ransom payments.

It's the same side of the coin.
I'm a fan of an opposite idea.

I'd like to see all people thrive, even if they aren't producing any tangible or identifiable good yet.

I believe that most people would naturally do more good if they had less stress, a stronger safety net, and more free time.

Children are often given at least a small delay before we expect them to start producing economic value. We know that there is value in this delay, do we know there is value in cutting these things off?
FWIW it really isn't that hard on Android, as you can just install Termux and then install stuff like clang or the Android SDK tooling. For a while a couple years ago I was doing this and using a foldable bluetooth keyboard; the setup was small enough to fit in my jacket pocket and felt a bit more convenient than carrying around a laptop.
Mistreatment is how pay is adjusted to location assuring poor areas stay poor even though the developer is performing the same task any others in higher paying regions. If cost of living is really a factor why does their product cost the same globally?
I used AutoCAD a while back and it wasn't the MS ribbon UI but custom.
> In any case, showing a dominant amount of force is imperative for safety in this country where guns are common.

Seems like treating every encounter as struggle for dominance instead puts you all in more danger.
You can achieve the same using dynamic in C#:

eff((dynamic)pokemon1.type, (dynamic)pokemon1.type);

Comes at a bit of a performance cost of course.
Could you clarify what you mean by “coming through education”?

I would’ve thought that population representation is the definition of underrepresented because it shows they are underrepresented in the population.
But I am interested if there is another way to measure this.
Sure but the point was the comparison to the Dutch system, hence the "...like the Dutch government" part of that sentence. So while its great to make sure people are clear about describing tax laws here on the internets, it may not be an aspect of the argument that is relevant.
Aehm, no? After all, this is my "home", quite literally.
No, you're not.
But I guess it depends on what you call "restaurant" and "lunch out".
Some people will basically eat every working day in a restaurant. So more than £/$/€10 will be seen as expensive.
Some people, like me, will go to[1] a restaurant once or twice a month. In this case, £/$/€50 will be totally acceptable. And giving what is sold in places where you eat for £/$/€10, they will avoid going to those places in the first place.

So I guess restaurants that sells food are having a hard time, but restaurants that sells a service have a different story to tell.

[1] See how in the first case it's "to eat in a restaurant" and in the second it's "to go to a restaurant". To me that's the big difference : when you are here to fulfill a natural need (eating), you don't want to pay a lot for it, while you are here to have a nice time out, you will gladly pay more.
Think of all the cool restaurants we could have if slavery was allowed again.
Compared to, say, Python, Perl requires a more conscious effort to write readable code, but in my experience it is a) possible and b) not that big of an effort. One can write equally unreadable gibberish in any language if one has the mind to do so (the International Obfuscated C Contest is an impressive, scary, and hilarious monument to this).

I don't write much Perl these days, I suppose the language will always have a spot in my heart, and whenever I need to quickly whip up a script that is too complicated for my puny shell-foo, I know where to turn to. :)
If you give up some privacy (subject to release with a judge's approval) then we can attempt to reign in bad actors. Deciding that we shouldn't attempt to reign in bad actors is, IMO, a bad call - and one I don't think enjoys broad-based support.

Yes, I think it's worse if North Korea gets a nuke than if the FBI gets a peek at my Amazon purchases pursuant to a judge's order.
I would argue its second most popular feature is purchases on dark net markets. This has been a constant theme since bitcoin was first released and I think is always discounted when talking about the currency.
What I don't understand is, if I make a mistake (e.g. missing a schedule or wrong number) in the form 1040 and send it to IRS, I'll be guaranteed to receive a CP notice from them later asking me to pay the missing tax and penalty. Clearly IRS has their own algorithm to calculate everything based on what they got (which is exactly the same as what I have, W-2, 1099, etc., for most Americans) anyways.

If IRS already know precisely how much tax I owe, and whatever I "claim" has no power, why do I need to play the game of "cat and mouse", every year? Why not just send me a pre-filled 1040 that their internal algorithm calculates and ask for my approval, like those Europeans do? How is this more "prone to raise tax"?
> You should assume the government will do the maximum amount of evil given the power they are granted.

Why? Shouldn't you then assume that all people will do the maximum amount of evil given the power they are granted. And what exactly makes government different then other places where power is concentrated? For example, crypto miners.
Will Sylvia Plath always be defined by her death?
My personal experience has been pleasant, and i think it is a bit faster than go. Also the easy syntax and better object Oriented features is a plus.
The reflection does affect the state of a macroscopic system - mirror, as momentum of the reflected photon changed and needs to conserve.
I don't think anyone should have the authority to "allow" or "disallow" such companies to exist.
Small correction:

ae = 'a'..'e'

ccae = ['<', *r, '>'] # => ['<', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', '>']

I'm guessing *r in the second line should have been *ae (or ae in the first line should have been named r)

Also

"It is new possible" should prpbably have been "It is now possible"
Sure, but then why not just roll it into the IRS’ own web portal instead of letting every service roll their own and potentially screw with it (like Intuit did when it prevented Google from indexing its Free File tier)? The result is far more consumer friendly and potentially allows for greater integration with and prepopulation from other government services.
For anyone who has trouble understanding this perspective because they've lived in car-dependent hell their entire lives, I recommend the Not Just Bikes channel. He does extremely detailed comparisons of US cities vs Netherlands and other places. Here is a recent one [1].

For me, I always felt that something was wrong about American cities / suburbs but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Then, I spent a few months in Tokyo and something "clicked". It's an entirely different paradigm that forced me to reevaluate what I thought was possible.

When I returned to the US, on the ride from the airport my first thought was: Everyone in this traffic jam is going the same direction, and would fit in a handful of train cars. Why are we OK with this??

People say trains are expensive, but they don't realize how much money we spend on cars. Americans spent $1.1 TRILLION on personal vehicles in 2017 [2], not including the hundreds of billions spent yearly on road maintenance. Redirecting a fraction of that money would more than pay for high-speed rail.

Let's do a crude estimate. Using the chart here [3], we can expect to pay somewhere between $3-163 million USD per mile of high-speed rail. The distance from NY to LA is 2789.9 miles.

At $100M/mile, which is excessive, it would still only cost $279 billion. We could build THREE transcontinental high-speed rail lines every year with the money we spend on personal automobiles. If we're as cost-effective as Japan at $2.6 M / mile, we could afford to build 384,000 miles of high speed rail every YEAR.

Subway lines in a city are more expensive, around $200-400 M / mile, but of course there are fewer miles to cover, so the result is the same. New York pays an excessive $2.5 billion per mile, but my understanding is that is due more to corruption and red tape.

Would you have said the same about HackingTeam [0] and the Italian Government? They were featured on citizen lab a LOT a few of years ago [1]. These guys still operate under the name "Memento Labs".

There's obviously money to be made from selling offensive cybersecurity tools to governments. And you can hardly blame governments for buying these services in the age of end-to-end encryption in the hands of every criminal and terrorist.

While I definitely don't condone spying on human rights activists, journalists, or even regular citizens for that matter, pegasus really is a weapon and as such should definitely be heavily regulated.

But as with other types of weapons, the responsibility for its use (or rather misuse) should lie with the weapon's user first and foremost, not the manufacturer. If NSO/HackingTeam were in the business of selling physical weapons to foreign governments, would they have been responsible for a government killing journalists with said weapons? If they were selling to North Korea, sure. But what about the legitimate governments of stable countries not under sanctions?

Bad news (for devs), it is still COM based.
Thanks.

But I don't want to build kernels as part of normal operation once it's set up, I want the device to last its expected useful lifetime with just periodic apt updates. This means a LTS distro that ships kernels for the device. Otherwise the setup is fail-open security wise, depending on my constant active tinkering.

Maybe Odroid happen to be exceptionally good and the vendor provided Ubuntu fork is good enough for this, but I don't see an easy way to check their track record over a longer timespan and for devices that are several generations behind their latest and greatest.
