>"It's clearly difficult to measure, but it can be measured."

That is a very generous take. It can be estimated or guessed at via proxies, but something like that is not really measurable. It's like measuring the loss of a key employee leaving.
Imagine starting a GIF site 8 years ago, in 2013. Would you ever have thought it could sell for $400M?
While there might be a very small decline in resting metabolism, most of those people are delusional. They overestimate their exercise and underestimate calorie consumption.

I recommend that everyone get an occasional resting metabolic rate test. It's an easy non-invasive test which uses your exhaled gasses to calculate your daily calorie burn. Most people who claim they can't lose weight due to a "slow metabolism" actually have a totally normal metabolism.

That's not... entirely clear actually. Well rather, what exactly the hash is based on. They call it "neural hash" which implies there's maybe some kind of embedding being used?

It's one thing to compute a simple hash. It's another entirely if they're using some type of locality sensitive hash since that very much has the possibility of false positives and would be a major invasion of privacy (which it already is).
It might not just be American tech talent though. I'm "local" (with an Australian degree), minimal name-brand, and 10 years experience. I've gotten first interview offers from many of the top companies in the region. The senior to staff developer range is in very high demand.
That act only goes into full effect 2024.

Also worth mentioning exemptions were created, it's only a matter of time before some lawyer/accountant creates new methods that exploit those exemptions.

Most notably churches and charities.

And the cat and mouse game continues.
You just made 80% of HN readers have a stroke.

I love the idea and I love what you are saying.
Facebook didn’t buy Giphy for its use on their own properties. They bought it for analytics on other properties. They love that other messaging apps use Giphy. It’s a Trojan horse.
The consensus is that vaccination also reduces spreading significantly. If I recall correctly it goes down to 25% Also vaccinated people social distance less and social distance measures are being removed so infection rates should go up.
I’ve been looking strongly at Plex’s photo support. The images are self hosted, but the service acts like a DDNS, so you can easily get to it. I run our current Plex system off of our NAS, but have been thinking about moving it to a dedicated RasPi.
One unfortunate thing with rolling releases is that you shouldn’t fall too far behind.

I had to move abroad for a bit and left my desktop behind. That’s fine. I’ve done this sort of thing before and I just boot it up, apt update, apt upgrade, and I’m good.

With Pac-Man I hit a thing where it wouldn’t upgrade. It couldn’t get me up to date from a year ago.

Had to give it up then because this sort of thing happens to me. Put a desktop in storage a while ago during the pandemic and I’m going to go back to it in a couple of months. It’s Ubuntu, I’m confident I’ll be fine.

Could have been a Layer 8 error, but I’ve just completed my second decade of Linux in my early thirties so I kind of grew up with this stuff.
AWS runs 2 large classified clouds. They need cleared folks to work on those networks.

With the recent NSA contract win, there might be a 3rd cloud to run.
So few people realize this!

Say, what is Apple's advertising policy? Hmm. It looks very familiar, doesn't it?

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205223
I don't get the animosity for recruiters. I tell them no thanks I'm not looking right now but let's stay in touch. Every single one politely replies with genuine relief that I was actually polite to them and says thank you. I also keep a list of all their info in case I can send them a referral or want to change jobs later. It's just common courtesy. You should be thankful you're getting those emails.
I don't like the way they've made everything white but I think the font is fine and even makes the site look fresh.
Been running arch for nearly 10 years and the only couple of breaking changes I had were either from ignorance or not reading special update instructions.

Also Arch is far more up to date than those you mention (sometimes by many months.) You're not confusing it with another distro?
If it's on a phone and you can't figure out how to compile it then it will be used to screw you.
That's nuts. Someone has solved the algorithm of fish and this is it.

But I thought I recognized his name and workstyle before. This guy is literally a genius. Some other works I've seen before:

https://github.com/LingDong-/rrpl - a "radical" new way to describe Chinese characters as a composition of parts

http://nonflowers.lingdong.works/ - procedurally generated flowers in style of classic Chinese watercolor paintings

https://lingdong.works/

And don't forget more classics on his GitHub profile:

https://github.com/LingDong-

including "A programming language for ancient Chinese, and procedurally generated Chinese landscape paintings"

I want to see a gallery show in Beijing.... This guy's work is so fucking good. It's really cool how he puts all the code on GitHub too. Fuck yeah! :P ;) xx
I have no idea what this argument is. If BikeVideos4U.com deletes a video of someone crashing into a moving train and dying, does that imply their site is no longer about bikes?

You can be an entertainment service and still regulate the content you host. Would you expect Netflix to host this content?
I've never been able to get a video to play a second time with the 'replay' icon. So the rule seems to be, "don't touch it"

Not to mention its excellent habit of downgrading the sample rate just as the video gets interesting.
Maybe you'll find this interesting.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earnshaw%27s_theorem

> Earnshaw's theorem states that a collection of point charges cannot be maintained in a stable stationary equilibrium configuration solely by the electrostatic interaction of the charges. This was first proven by British mathematician Samuel Earnshaw in 1842. It is usually referenced to magnetic fields, but was first applied to electrostatic fields.
I'm not going to recommend any technique I don't personally have years of experience with. Too many times a paper that makes something look great tends to have fatal flaws that only emerge years later. Sort of like WW1 strategies that sounded good but in practice produced only mud and dead bodies.

As I mentioned in another comment, I've had good success in the trenches with the poisoning technique.
Not by default, not anymore. The developer has to check a box to allow it. If it’s not allowed, macOS won’t run it.
I think it was partially smoking, and not eating as much food. It seemed like everyone smoked 50 years ago.

(I don't know if people lost weight in their 40-50's.)
What a delight! For sure would love to read the details.
It's great, I've been running an Arch server in my garage for about 6 years. I've had maybe 4 updates break in a way that required manual intervention. I've spent maybe 30 minutes total dealing with OS specific update issues, over 6 years!

My Arch based desktop tends to break more often because it has a lot more stuff installed. Since I use it daily, though, it's pretty quick to roll with the punches.
Why are we always teaching Git in the context of GitHub though? There HSA to be a simpler, more platform agnostic way.
I've come across crypto pumps on Reddit, but might not be on the right subs to have come across the network posts (or just haven't noticed yet). Do you have some links to those posts?
I've traveled the world, the place I felt the least safe was London. Perhaps it was because they have signs all over the place warning you about pickpockets.
>But even with some modicum of a different government

Sorry, you lost me here. This isn't some variable we are optimizing for whose program we get to iterate over.

>they were uninterested in doing anything to actually prevent the taliban.

I learned this lesson the hard way, but a lot of people today (I see you, ex-State Department twitter) seem to not get it that sometimes people will choose a government that makes people in the west uncomfortable. What do we do, invade again?
All you need is an imagination. Paid only-fans links for example would be a huge winner when targeted at virgin men in their 20s with no real life friends (AKA Reddit userbase). These subtle advertisements are already happening all over Reddit through user posts, it's just Reddit stupidly does not charge for it.
How many pets do you have?
Yeah having been on many distro for 20 years I just gave up on Windows-like (or MacOS) upgrade experience and just split everything that is important in a NAS, everything transient personnal in a home partition totally isolated from the distro, and the rest in a distro partition that can break any day with no consequence. I even do that too with the NAS since ive been fucked before by an upgrade tainting the same partition all the data was in (stupid of me to trust btrfs).

There s no attempt at building a comfortable product, but that s fine.
Good. I would be furious if I worked there. After the San Bernardino case, I viewed them as the paragon of privacy and security, to the extent I ignored most criticisms, including their lack of support for right-to-repair and concerns over App Store rejections. All of that is back on the table for me after this decision.

It is out-of-step with everything they've been doing up to this point, and it makes me wonder who has something over the head of Apple that we aren't hearing about. The stated benefits of this tech are far outweighed by the potential for harm, in my view.

If Apple pushes forward on this, I want to hear a lot more from them, and I want it to be a continuing conversation that they bear until we all understand what's going on.
What’s going to be sad to note over the next few months is yet another record breaking year and another record breaking first quarter for Apple (this is as per Apple’s financial calendar).

All these concerns and outrage don’t seem to matter to most people, and a few boycotts here for Apple, a few more boycotts there for Facebook, and some more for <name-another-for-profit-bad-company> aren’t making any difference to their bottomline.

To say I’m seriously disappointed and frustrated is putting it very mildly.
Highly improbable.
What’s inside “Migrating to BizTalk Server 2020”?
But that’s my point, sure it works now, but in 10-20 years what’s keeping free, floss, friendly technologies from being bullied out of availability?
Google delisting floss alternatives, because they’re from unverified developers and could contain malware; governments mandating ISPs ban “untrusted” protocols like FTP because paedophiles use them to share CSAM; etc.
When everyone is on a list, it's the people not on a list that will be suspicious.
This path makes a lot of sense to me - I'm curious though - why do you think more people don't pursue these certs early on in life?
No, it has a pointed tip unlike that of a butter knife, which usually has a dull and rounded point.

An Opinel knife appears in the movie "Paris, Je t'aime". In the segment ("Place des Fetes") an unnamed assailant draws his knife, clumsily unlocks it and turns away from the camera to stab his victim.
Well stated. I am one of those that trusted Apple, and though it seems totally obvious now (the problems present with not having full control of ones device) for whatever reason it took all this for me to realize how privacy truly requires that control.

You are also right that it would take a lot for me to trust Apple again and they are unlikely to do the things required for that since transparency, openness are not typically how they operate.
Ask HN: Agree or disagree, the fall of colonialism was bad for humanity
Reading up on some history. It seems the answer to the above question is probably yes. That colonialism was far better for the people of the world than the anarchy that followed. Yet somehow this strikes me as counter to popular opinion. I would hesitate to write it in a public forum. Why is that ? What am I missing ?
Actually it's exactly how it works. H1N1 was novel but now it's not. When it first hit, its deadliness was high but not anymore, even as it mutates, which is at a faster rate than SARS-CoV-2.

I suggest you read up on "sterilizing immunity". People with immunity against COVID still can transmit the virus. This was already known so it's nothing new. There are some viruses that we have sterilizing immunity against, like smallpox. There are other diseases like tuberculosis, COVID, etc where immune people still shed the virus.

And you can't stop the rate of mutation because animals can get and transmit SARS-CoV-2. So it doesn't matter if all humans were immune, animals could still get infected and cause mutations that re-enter the human population.
Yeah doomscrolling sucks but is it worse than watching the grass grow while you get drunk on the porch a hundred years ago?

Do you think the Amish live a life vastly inferior to yours?
I actually agree that they technically aren't zero cost (notice I didn't even write that), but the cost is indirect. I've worked on a number of Java JITs and in practice, not a lot of hot code has catch blocks, and even when so, inlining is typically so deep that lots of exception edges (e.g. arising because a possible NPE) get optimized away.

Most of the lost optimization opportunities are second-order costs, not first-order costs. Java JITs make up for the extra flow edges by focusing more on global optimizations rather than local (e.g. GVN vs LVN, global code motion, global flow-sensitive load/store elimination), etc. Generally a possible exception edge splitting a basic block doesn't hurt because the non-exceptional control flow will still benefit from flow-sensitive optimizations (i.e. it has only one predecessor anyway).

We're splitting hairs anyway. Like I said, Java JITs are significantly more advanced at optimizing exception-heavy code. I'd be really surprised if you saw anything more than a 1% increase in performance, actually, no, scratch that. I doubt you can even reliably any speedup distinguishable from noise from just disabling all support for exceptions in most Java code, unless you are talking about metadata. Top-tier JITs really are that good.
My point was about the money supply not ethics or morality.
Vaccines delivered to the arm deltoid muscle never promised mucosal immunity.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7733922/

> The mucosal immune system is the largest component of the entire immune system, having evolved to provide protection at the main sites of infectious threat: the mucosae. As SARS-CoV-2 initially infects the upper respiratory tract, its first interactions with the immune system must occur predominantly at the respiratory mucosal surfaces, during both inductive and effector phases of the response. However, almost all studies of the immune response in COVID-19 have focused exclusively on serum antibodies and systemic cell-mediated immunity including innate responses.

That's why vaccinated people can still get infected (upper respiratory tract) and have no symptoms (serum antibodies). They can infect others (upper respiratory tract) when they are infected but don't have symptoms or a temperature check saying they should stay at home. Hence the CDC now recommends tests for vaccinated people who are exposed to Covid.

It was stated by Fauci and others in 2020 that current Covid vaccines are non-sterilizing. There are new Covid vaccines in development which provide sterilizing immunity, delivered via nasal inhaler instead of deltoid arm muscle. The MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine is sterilizing, i.e. prevents infection and transmission.
You mean like those caused by Mac and Windows updates? No OS is perfect, so I'm sure like any device you use, making backups of data critical to you is still necessary. You know what else can cause data loss? Your hard drive breaking.
What if they decide next year to use AI to automatically detect potential violating images?

I hope you won't throw the "slippery slope is a fallacy" fallacy at me.
It's almost as if there are differences of opinions...

You are free to not use YouTube, just as I am free to use it. As is everyone else in this thread. You are free to vote with your wallet, not with mine.
I use btrfs snapshot with arch just for this, and they've saved me multiple times.

Its like Apple's Time Machine, but also covers system files.
Do Steam Deck users have to read those special update instructions as well? That sounds like a pain. Why can't it just be automatic
Why is nobody recommending a highly saline nasal irrigation as a prophylactic? Or even a lower saline nasal irrigation with a very diluted amount of hydrogen peroxide???
You completely bypassed the point of my post. It doesn't matter about what happens now. What matters is in the future. If China creates a law saying that not only should this system work for CSAM but also for objectionable material or anti-government material, is Apple really going to say no if it means billions of dollars in losses and Apple execs being targets by the CCP? Of course they won't.
Phoenix for me.. 2002ish... I figured out if I renamed the executable iexplore.exe the company's antivirus scanner would let me run it instead of ie.
What a great well written article. Kudos to the author!
I hope it's not rude for me to point out that that is a very direct question.
> I know that isn't how you should look at it

Why not? The argument seems perfectly reasonable to me.
> "git pulll --rebase" will not ever rewrite history from the origin repository. It will only ever modify your local unpublished commits to account for new commits from the origin branch.

After reading more about it, you are right about that. It will only apply your commits to the tip of remote.
Warning, snarky opinion ahead:
because git has terrible cli operations that only make sense to people who under reflog and rebase and the underpinnings of git as opposed to any sort of file-based operations, which is how most people understand computers.

Github looks and behaves like a filesystem with a timeline, which is not accurate to how git works functionally, but that's what makes sense to most people out of the box
You point that it "could have" been done more simply is completely irrelevant.

This "much more simply" mechanism is exactly what was created by Apple. It's done right now, and there's no need to worry about how much more simply they COULD HAVE.

It's a fait-accompli. The government wanted it, and now they have it. Now they can scan individual phones for whatever they want.
People under the age of 1 is not even close to equaling “kids”. Come on.

Gotta love Snapper and snap-pac!
> a 3–4 spot induction cooktop and a 2-burner gas cooktop.

Actually, that's probably a reasonable design. Induction is fine for boiling water (or water-like things - soup, sauce, water-with-pasta-in-it, velc), and that's probably the largest single class of cooking tasks. The problem with a induction stove is that you can't do non-boiling stuff at all, but if you have gas burners, that's a nonissue.

Although as tristor notes, it's probably better to have 2 induction and 4 gas than vice versa - if you're running out of burners, using a gas burner where you'd normally use a induction burner is less of a problem than vice versa, and if you aren't, you can just use whichever are better suited to what you're currently doing.
I think that Fedora SilverBlue would have been the perfect OS for these kinds of consumer products. Arch is great and probably very rarely breaks but if it does, there is very few ways to recover the situation other than instructing users to reinstall the OS.

With something like fedora silverblue, if an update fails, The system can reboot in to the previous OS image without issue. It also ensures that there is a known state for the OS without having to deal with the fact that users may have changed things which breaks an update.
I'm glad you brought that up!

I think that is the most common misconception with this problem, and that is why it has gone so long without a solution. You are correct in that the biggest players (i.e. big tech) are the ones who have the resources to solve their own problems. However, this problem spreads much further and wider than just big tech. There are thousands of companies in the US alone that get these requests (from ISPs, banks, insurance, fintechs, crypto, tech, etc.). "Big tech" typically gets all the focus because of the volume they get (FB gets 300k+ per year). What goes unnoticed is that even at 100+, or 1000+ per year, these requests are very overwhelming for companies to manage. These are also the companies that don't have the internal resources to fix their pain like FB and Google.
The issue is not really the base concept. It's layering a huge amount of concepts on top of it.

Just think of the "places" a change can be in (technically most of these are just labels on the tree, but they have separate commands to deal with them).

Remote, Index, working copy, staging area, stash, branches.

Those are the ones involved in the simples way I know how to make the smallest change. When you get up to stuff like submodules, LFS, subtrees then I very much understand when people get frustrated. All most of them wanted is a slight improvement over copying a folder they named myproject_v23 to a network drive.
In the US I'm bullish on hydrogen-powered trucks (fuel cell).

Natural gas (CNG and LNG) trucks haven't exactly set the transportation world on fire, even though they make much more sense than hydrogen. Natural gas is still routinely flared, it's too much trouble to try to collect it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routine_flaring

So, instead, you propose to take that very same natural gas as a starting feedstock and turn it into hydrogen? Then build a new infrastructure to distribute that hydrogen across the country? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_reforming

Non starter.

Natural gas is already distributed all around the country. Literally hundreds of thousands of miles of existing pipeline cris-crossing the country. How many hydrogen pipelines can you point to? If not pipelines, how do you propose to deliver hydrogen to where it is needed?

I suppose there is some argument to be made to use excess PV solar and wind turbine energy to create hydrogen, but so far that hasn't happened at scale.
The few things that are get backed up in cleartext. Also E2EE doesn't mean jack shit if someone else owns the ends.

Even the orignal PCGamer piece was too much fluff to say "Arch has more frequent updates because its a rolling release". THat's all they had to say.
I don't know about Twitter's new font.

I can offer this; 99.99% of the time I hate font changes, especially from companies that I am used to looking at.

I'm not one of those hate any changes guys. I will admit if it works, don't touch it though. A lot of websites don't just work. HN just works. No need to change anything. It font change that irritates me.

Viacom/Comcast recently changed their font on their lousy viewing guide, and it's irritating.

Why? I think it a combination of, "you shouid get working on your lousy app, and not the font?"

Changing font is easy. Changing an api is better especially when it's needed, along with lowering price from customers who hate your company?
What is your source? This is hearsay bullshit otherwise.
Leaky vaccines, like with delta, can lead to natural selection of 'hotter' variants. I think we will not see an end to this pandemic. It will continue to evolve and infect people. The thing that will change will be our perception of it.
