After this ridiculous FaceTime bug [1] in 2019, I've disabled FaceTime permanently. Now, hackers are using zero-click exploits on iMessaging by crafting malformed images/pdfs thereby breaking the media notification parser, breaking out of the sandbox, breaking out of BlastDoor, hooking into the Springboard.app which has entitlements that grant access to everything on an iOS device. Jeff Bezos and Joshua Wong have experienced first hand how broken iPhone's security is.

I have an iPhone and iPad, and recently have been experiencing phantom rings. My iPhone/iPad would ring simultaneously for half a second and then flash "Unknown Audio" (instead of "Unknown Caller" or the caller ID). And, for phone calls, there's supposed to be a green phone icon, but these calls have blue phone icons. And the notifications don't stay in the notification screen. They're gone after the ring. I can't tell whether my phone's on the fritz or my data is being exfiltrated. Last weekend, I received 3 phantom calls in a span of 5 minutes. My phone can't be trusted for FaceTime calls and iMessages. Fucking irony.

We cannot grant absolute trust to any one entity. Do not fully trust Apple. Do not fully trust Google. Do not fully trust not your government. Granting them absolute trust grants them absolute power that can be corrupted against you absolutely. Even though Google is a privacy invasive company, at least Google doesn't have power over Android to the extent that Apple has power over iOS. Android users can still side-load the Navalny app because Google built this weakness into their system. Apple's complete authoritarian power over iOS means users don't have power to choose. Prefer to use apps/services like Signal that cannot kowtow to authoritarian regimes because these kinds of apps/services have little power that they can themselves abuse.

But actually, fuck apps, fuck serfdom. Prefer the open web. Prefer distributed systems. Self host.

I just wrote the comment and noticed that the scripting limits on BCH are actually a network rule and are not miner-configurable. So my statement that "it could also work on BCH if some default limits were lifted" is only correct in the sense that this number needs to be increased in a network upgrade: https://gitlab.com/bitcoin-cash-node/bitcoin-cash-node/-/blo...
This seems kinda silly to me.

The channel is named Louis Rossmann, not "Right to repair with Louis Rossmann" I don't know why the channel has to be only about right to repair, nor do i understand how these videos can distract from the right to repair message.

I must admit that thinking about the previous hyperinflation episodes makes my stomach turn.

We (as in, pretty much the whole Western world with some exceptions) take up more and more debt, and Covid has greatly accelerated this trend. Often, the countries that take up more debt aren't growing much. And there is a lively talk in Europe about financing the European Green Deal on yet more debt and throwing the Maastricht criteria out of the window. This is addictive; why would you try to increase taxes and thus piss off important people if you can just borrow?

This has an upper limit somewhere, we do not know where it is, but we will hit it one day. There is no way that this could continue to the heat death of the universe.

The U.S. is partially protected by the status of the dollar as a reserve currency, but the Eurozone does not even have that protection. The whole base of the Euro is a silent expectation that Germans will do whatever it takes whenever it takes to preserve it. Which they might, or they might not, if the push really comes to shove.
Seems like a bad habit to develop, IMO
I want to know where the whole "do I cut the red wire or the blue wire?" trope comes from ..... surely you just pull the detonator out then cut its wires
I agree, but that is a two stage process. Sure the machine can beat us on concepts, but can it make meaningful connections?
What I'd love to see is a reissue of Phantasy Star Online. I loved that game, and it was super ahead for its time. Sadly, PSO2 seems to have really strayed away from the originals formula.
Rust does get a little verbose, but this syntax proposal isn't doing much to simplify it either. It's mostly a lexical choice of symbols over reserved words, but the amount of separate symbols is IMHO a bit too high for comfort. (The choice of semantic indentation leads to additional drawbacks when copy/pasting code.)

Reserved words may be inelegant in principle (since they intrude on the namespace for identifiers), but at least they're easier to type on most keyboards. And Rust seems to be going for a rather minimalistic syntax already. It's certainly not as verbose as languages in the BASIC, Pascal or Ada lineage, let alone Cobol.

It is dogmatism. Just look at the propaganda from the 50s and 60s. And all the way to today, it is less cheesy but nonetheless propagandist: schools educating boys and girls to get jobs, encouraging girls to be more ambitious, campaigns to get women in industries they are not interested in, and to fight for equal pay. Add to that how politically incorrect the comments I made are. If that is not a dogma, I don't know what is.
I mean, there's gotta be some question about costs of hardware (plus colocation costs, etc.) versus the costs of engineers to optimise the stack.

I don't doubt there's a point at which it's cheaper to focus on reducing hardware and colocation costs, but for the vast majority engineers are the expensive thing.
The problem is that there are no large population centers near Yellowstone. Maybe you could reach Salt Lake City or Denver without prohibitive transmission line inefficiency?

Maybe increasing automation means that we can build more factories and data centers near these sources of massive renewable energy potential without struggling to convince workers to live in these remote locations (although that might not be a huge challenge for a beautiful place like Yellowstone).
> The detail of the paper, rather than the headline, actually undercuts most of the traditional conspiracy theories.

> Another quirk is that it appears even supermajorities often don't get their way (the graphs show that if 80-90% of the elite favour a policy, it is enacted a little under half the time. Which is better than the probability if 80-90% of the median voters favour it, but still means they usually don't get their way...)

I think those two things oppose each others.
Love seeing discussions of Eckhard Höffner's comparative work on English and German copyright history. This Spiegel article has probably given it the most visibility. Höffner has written extensively on the history of books and copyright, all in German (which I do not read). https://www.fatto.de/wiki/ and https://twitter.com/EckhardHoeffner are their site and twitter.

I think https://archive.org/details/102026Band2 is the relevant book.

For how copyright restricts learning in other parts of the world now, I like https://openscholarship.wustl.edu/law_lawreview/vol92/iss1/7...
How does it measure up to LBRY / Odysee?
The secret is that git is, first and foremost, an on-disk data structure (hereafter "git repo"). It's very well-defined and documented, which means that anyone can write a new tool that processes a git repo.

Go for it!
The point is they have no choice. There is no 'I don't want to be monitored' button. Just a message that says 'you are our bitch and there is nothing you can do about it'. The same as every other TOS for services that have become essential in our society and economy.

Immutability is a blessing and a curse for IPFS.

It's cool for preventing things like censorship. Something like SciHub would really benefit from it.

However, for "real world" use cases, many people want to be able to remove or modify what they've uploaded. With IPFS, as far as I'm aware, doing either doesn't really change the underlying data but just creates a new object in IPFS instead which you'd point to via IPNS. Anyone who still wanted to view the old content still could, provided they had the right content id.

God forbid you accidentally upload a "personal" photo, your only hope is that someone never comes across the content id of that image. There is no way to undo it!
> These numbers are to some extent distortions brought about by Sweden having different ways of associating deaths with COVID-19.

This is why anyone should be extremely wary of comparing "deaths per million" statistics across nations, since the statistic is 1) not standardized and 2) not always trustworthy.

Counting excess mortality isn't as good, but at least it's normalized across the board, so you can make some kind of meaningful comparison.
I hope US realizes the patent system harms innovation more than it helps.
Right, and because we are so completely caught up in the search for the meaningful, we don't have a complete idea of what it is. There isn't a scientific test for whether something is meaningful. (Only how much information something conveys; Shannon literally discarded meaning to formalize information measure.)

Thus not knowing exactly what it is, it's not terribly surprising when we are fooled by our own attempts to produce its facsimile.
So far I haven’t finished any of Douglas Hofstadter’s books. I don’t think I’m alone in this :)
> What does "GPL with classpath exception" mean in the real world, that JDK-itself changes must be upstreamed, but linked applications need not be? What are the limits there?

The exception is very broad and fairly simple.

Azul has a good breakdown of it
https://www.azul.com/blog/why-the-classpath-exception-is-so-...

The short answer though is if you link to a GPL+Classpath exception library you may distribute the results under any license you choose.
Yes sorry, I run out of characters.
Heheheheh... Not one, but three people.

But yeah, it is funny how it's kind invisible down there.

If you're making 2x4 lumber you cut 2x4, someone else planes it down to the final, finished size.

One can use rough cut lumber for building but it throws off everything a half inch at a time, so your final wall may not fit or be attached.
Doesn’t that render every application of this tech net negative. I’ll cure you BUT give you many other incurable diseases. Imagine git had “git ai fix“. It fixes bug but also randomly changes code in entire code base and God knows how many runtime bugs now exist.
Evergreen comment, "2^128" being an arbitrary upper limit.
I suspect that lockdowns look a lot like prison to an irrational, developing child who's subject to surveillance and not allowed to see their friends for a year.

Even outside of lockdowns, helicopter parenting seemed like a big problem.

I had to fall back from Mint to Kubuntu due to issues with both wifi and the touchpad on an acer swift.
yep, and funny enough, both your reply and OPs comment show the limits of economics as any sort of explanatory science for the behaviors of people at scale. It’s at some level basically reading tea leaves.

urban dead, a humans vs. zombies mmo browser game has not a single of the stated features and was one of the most emergent story generation games i've ever seen, pushed by the players in external wikis. i think it's almost 15 years since in played it, so no idea what became of it.

I think progress will speed up over the next year once mobile Linux distros like postmarketOS can be flashed on many Android devices, similar to how LineageOS and other ROMs can be flashed to many right now. Currently it takes too much work to mainline an Android device, and the main supported phones like the Pinephone just have too weak specs for most users.

Once new devices like the Pixel 6 start shipping and having the Android 12 requirement to run the Generic Kernel Image (GKI), then people will be able to use mobile Linux on powerful phones finally, as well as their old or cheap Androids.

PeerTube does not have enough bandwidth to work.

Try PeerTube. Here's a cat video. Posted 1 week ago, 38 views, duration 10 seconds.

https://peertube.tv/w/tsvCimhEaLSTZD16B3gqBQ

Even as the only watcher, and with gigabit Internet both ways at my end, it stuttered, then stalled completely.

For short videos, you'd be better off putting them on a shared hosting site as .mp4 files.

Peer to peer video hosting is just not a good idea for bandwidth reasons.
Wait until you here the phrase "nanny state" regarding the UK.
Focus on the problem at hand and don't chase technical debt unless it impedes you. If not, open an issue, leave a TODO, etc. Nothing bothers me more than finding a bunch of changes in a pull request completely unrelated to the scope of the issue, and they're most often a time sink for the developer chasing them.
It’s also important to note that for a first try, on an accelerated dosing schedule, 95% efficacy was incredible and blew all of the estimates out of the water. Falling to ‘merely’ 80% efficacy after several months and a major mutation still leaves you in a very good position.
Totally and like... problems are fractal in nature, you have problems within problems within problems!
XUL Runner was a relatively easy way to build apps, or at least their UIs, from markup. It's interesting that the approach has lived on, albiet through other implementations like Electron.

Didn't know that. 810 SEK for a day after tax represent a 80% monthly salary of around 30k before tax if my math is right, which is slightly lower than the median income which is 32k. That might be significant lower than for most people on HN. It would be interesting to know how they determined that number and how many people that requests the money are hitting the max.
Micronaut is worth a look
It opens up some very interesting possibilities and optimization options that you wouldn't normally ever consider. In any case, I think programmers of most languages wouldn't even need to care as all optimizations would be done by the teams working on the compilers/interpreters/VMs.

Note that it's not just about integers, floating point would also benefit from this.
By “substance” I meant “The most important part or idea of what is said or written; the essence or gist.” Additional graphs that support the presupposed conclusions are not some sort of contradiction.

Some jobs don't allow for time to really address tech debt. Lots of us get in the habit of sneaking improvements in as we go because otherwise they never get done.
Seems quite a thin movie. SF love story. Nothing to do with the book. At least what the trailer says.
Google, Apple and MS are huge businesses who only care about their respective browsers as something that will help them reach some pretty unrelated goals. Mozilla's business, however, is closely related to the browser itself, which makes their incentives.. less misaligned. :) While they have made some questionable moves in the past, I still trust them a whole lot more than any of the bigtech.
Based on my opinion. Everybody can see by themselves what was wrong there.
I guess the sound might be very characteristic because variations in the process of generation might be limited (amount of energy delivered / type of particle created?) and I would expect it to sound a lot like a sharp "ping" if I had to take a guess.
Temperature, salinity and currents would affect propagation and dispersion but deep enough in the sea there might be a stable enough environment to be able account for that. A very interesting idea at least!
Oh cool, let's make a (mostly) ergonomic language and throw it away for the sake of a few keystrokes.

Scope is a lie anyway, right!?

I'm glad to see they didn't start implementing anything.
Interesting. I had imagined the range handling is purely handled by the reading side of things, and wouldn't care how the sink is implemented (kTLS, TLS, a pipe, etc). So I assumed the offset should be invisible for kTLS, which just sees a stream of data as usual.
I banned Disney/ABC at my house due to the same observed behavioral issues. YouTube is a mixed bag, I observe what the youngest is watching and he always listens when I tell him to pick something else to watch.

There are some games that for past some radar like the "Buddy" series - it seems innocuous but it's all about dismemberment of the buddy character. It's "funny" in the way "Happy Tree Friends" is funny. Less so to the plastic developing psyche of a toddler.
That seems to be a distinction without a difference, as they all are removed from net profits.
The most lean and interesting alternative IMO is Helidon SE. It's backed by Oracle and uses very sane approach.

The most pragmatic alternative IMO is Quarkus. I don't really like it, but it seems to be the most popular alternative to Spring and probably will become standard de facto, unless Spring will jump ahead with some revolutionary changes. It's backed by Red Hat and seems to have the most momentum.

The best approach IMO is not here yet. Frameworks, mentioned above, rely heavily on reactive architecture. It's just not needed with Project Loom, so there's plenty of unnecessary complications. They even rewriting JDBC drivers.

I'm going with Quarkus for now, but I'm waiting for ideal framework to appear.

I’m starting to think it can only be fixed with legislation.

At it stands every single incentive for businesses points toward maximizing surveillance. Product design, marketing, advertising, direct monetization of data, validating business models to investors, everything is helped by more data. The push for data is relentless and the appetite is endless.

Consumers largely don’t understand or don’t care. They talk shit about it but they don’t change their buying decisions.
“Empty land doesn't get sick”

That’s exactly the point.
In Norway and Sweden, unlike Germany, there is a huge amount of empty land.
For this reason it doesn’t make sense at all to compare Sweden with Germany when you have a far, far better comparison in the nearby country.
It is sad to see the most logical comment out there is getting downvoted given the logical aptitudes of this community.

Statistics show you are right, evolutionary biology says you are right.
Well you have to turn it on before it explodes…
Must've been a long time ago because now there's an army of non-tenure faculty teaching classes for every engineering department and in CISE. Whether they get paid less than they would at McDonald's is another matter but without a doubt they are a cost cutting measure (along with online classes and various other edtech BS like proctoring services).
The mechanics are so simple it’s weird to me that people argue otherwise.
Interesting to note that since sCrypt's "loop" construct simply unrolls the loop the constant number of times, proposed implementation will grow in size proportionally to the number of state transition rules (8 in the example in the article).

So a contract with 50 transition rules (or just carelessly bumped up constant N in the source code) would be much larger as it has to repeat its inner loop N times -- and there is nothing you can do about it, as functions and function calls are syntactic sugar as well, and function bodies are immediately inlined at the call site.
Such a layout, and all it costs, is typically unavoidable in GC languages, and usually easily avoided in non-GC languages, particularly in cases where it would matter.

Thus, it is incorrect to talk about multiple calls to a deallocator. You get just one for the whole array.
Also the test I took[0] scores this very poorly, by determining how often those words are in the same section of a text as each other, meaning choosing uncommon words (crenellations, gravedigger) will show much more creativity than common words (castle, grave) that are similar conceptually.

Comparisons to the flu and colds aren't scientifically valid. Influenza mutates much faster than SARS-CoV-2, which is why the flu vaccine is reformulated every year. Common colds are caused by dozens of different viruses (including at least 4 other coronaviruses) and gaining immunity to one of them won't protect you from the others. SARS-CoV-2 also mutates but at a much slower rate than influenza.

Reinfection by SARS-CoV-2 is possible but rare. There may be some benefit to vaccination even for those who have recovered from infection, although the duration of additional protection is unclear.

>Do you mean as a one-time thing, or regularly? Because if the former, I don't see how.

When you're lifting heavy having one day at maintenance or a gain in the middle of a cut all of a sudden your body loves to get water weight/bloat/put on fat. It's hard to tell which, so I say 'lose' progress cause that weight/bloat/fat can be 1-3 pounds where I'm trying to lose .5-1 pound a week at most to avoid stretch marks. Normally I'd say this doesn't matter, so long as the trend line is down over all.

--my weirdly specific scenario that maybe interesting to fitness nerds--
However I'm in a fun very specific situation where I'm mtf trans, where I'm in fat redistribution the only science I have is like 2 studies showing that I lose fat is typical for males with normal testosterone and start generating fat as for a female with normal estrogen. So the trans 'bro science' approach is to use that logic and cycle 5-10 pounds on and off over time so you'll have better results appearance wise.

While I've noticed a bunch of anecdotal differences of losing and gaining fat from compared to when I wasn't on hormones 3 years ago and sucking at dieting. Now I'm at about 23-4% body fat that if I lose is coming from very specific sections of my stomach and not evenly distributed. So even at what would be healthy calorie deficit I get stretch marks from anything over 300cal and only small ones (if I do get them) when I'm doing 200-300.

Yes. We agreed to lay them off it if made more sense for them financially or for their health.
So no business should ever have to pay for bandwidth because customers of said business are already paying? Or should I get free internet because businesses are already paying ISPs for their network access?
