> ### Wait, you did what?

> Time for the philosophizing I promised.

> People are often surprised and sometimes horrified when they learn that Tailscale maintains its own fork of the Go toolchain. Tailscale is a small startup. Isn’t that a horrible distraction, a flagrant burning of [innovation tokens](https://mcfunley.com/choose-boring-technology)?

> Maybe. But the thing is, you write code with the engineers you have.

> We had a problem: We kept crashing on iOS, and in addition to being awful, it was preventing us from adding features.

> Another team might have decided to cut even more features on iOS to try to achieve stability, or limited in some way the size of the tailnet that iOS could interact with.

> Another team might have radically redesigned the data structures to squeeze every last drop out of them.

> Another team might have rewritten the entire thing in Rust or C.

> Another team might have decided to accept the crashes and attempted to mitigate the pain by making re-establishment of connections faster.

> Another team might have decided to just live with it and put their focus elsewhere.

> The Tailscale team has Go expertise, spanning the standard library to the toolchain to the runtime to the ecosystem. [It’s an asset](https://danluu.com/in-house/), and it would be foolish not to use it when the occasion arises. And the fun thing about working on low level, performance-sensitive code is that that occasion arises with surprising frequency.

> Blog posts about how people solve their problems are fun and interesting, but they must always be taken with a healthy dose of context. There may be no other startups in existence for which working on the Go linker would be a sensible choice, but it was for us.

> ### Surprise twist ending

> With the Go linker work [newly completed](https://github.com/tailscale/go/pull/20), we set out to confirm our analysis. What would footprint say?

> As expected, footprint approved:

708 KB 1664 KB 0 B 218 __DATA_CONST

> Down from 1568KB to 708KB. Not bad. And did footprint still match iOS’s opinion?

> We expected to see our free memory reported go up by about 1MB. And instead it went up…36MB.

> Huh?

> While we were busy fixing the linker to save 1MB, iOS 15 launched and quietly gave us 35MB more.

> Thanks, iOS!
That’s fundamentally what’s at question here: is amateur radio literally just non-professionals toying with RF, or is it some collection of rituals like HF ragchewing and SKCC? It seems that the ARRL has decided it’s the latter while everyone under 40 years old has decided it’s the former.
Yep. I'm seeing weird bugs with e.g. middle-click-to-open-link-in-new-tab doing what it should—but then replacing it with the blank-tab content a quarter second after I switch to the new tab.

I'm not used to Safari being buggy. It's part of why I've stuck with it for years.

I'm actually kind of loving the tab groups—it's a little weird to me that we have that and the concept of a window, still, and the two are separate, but whatever—but the tab UI itself is really, really bad.
Well, the thing is, some countries don't have these corporations to begin with. You can't tax a corporation that doesn't exist; and thus some countries are happy with the employment and economic activity these corps provide even if they pay no taxes (the employees still pay taxes, so these corps indirectly pay taxes).

That's why these countries offer a 0% tax rate. Because that's the only attraction they can provide.

This is a law that benefit the big rich countries.
similar story here. i mostly operate CW these days too.

Many on HN would love one (or many) aspects of amateur radio.

>How is this legal...

In theory, legality is the Judge's opinion of the law applied to circumstance. To even approach this state is extremely expensive and takes a great deal of time - on the order of years.

So, for the most part we're all on our own. And in that context, legality doesn't matter. At all. What does matter is leverage. The justice system itself is, ironically, most often used as leverage, not as a service for determining legality, but as a threat of the expense and time of getting to that determination.

It's sickening, but that's how it is.
> Why isn’t a spectrum dedicated for use by police, fire, emergency response, and local governments

What do you think their radio systems use?
Ah. So it's not amateur unless it's policed!

Let's not be completely shocked by capable, ingenious ancestors. Even in the ~190K years before we settled down, those people had brains identical to yours and mine.

And on the other hand, if you read some pre-Enlightenment things, it's apparent just how powerful (actual, accurate) knowledge and reason are. Imagine that nobody figured out the truth about gravity until Newton. Imagine that the very basics of what we know and how we think today were out there, and we had the brains, but the knowledge was mostly undeveloped for ~199,000 of the 200,000 years of humanity's existence.

So it takes more than brains. (Yes, I'm simplifying a very great deal.)
The transition from ANSI graphics to the ugliness of Windows 3.1 or even Desqview was pretty rough. I spent a ton of time in terminal emulators and BBS programs that I found much more intuitive and "pretty". Their graphical counterparts were hideous by comparison. I think I still carry some of that bias with me.

I did have to do a quick check to see if this library required me to configure expanded memory, however.
A prostitute can be exploited by a pimp even though it's her own will to work vs be homeless under a bridge. It's the "best deal she has".

It may be the best option for these people, but you are exploiting their poverty for your profit, otherwise you'd pay the minimum wage.

It's the people who cry minimum wage hikes while exploiting this business that make my blood boil.

I agree about UBI, it's immoral, period.
My anecdote: Someone mentioned they didn't agree with looting during BLM, and you could see the disgust coming from their coworkers.

The political activism gets so ridiculous that we have to cheer for looting because it is tied to BLM... for whatever strange reason.

And this is looting shops in Seattle, which overwhelmingly supports BLM. You can bet those shop owners probably won't support BLM anymore...
Because then people would realize that soldiers are just as lethal or perhaps even more lethal than drones.
I agee completely. This also extends to HTTP requests and all kinds of automation. We should be able to make a custom Facebook client if we want to. There's no reason their client must be the only one allowed to talk to their servers. Competition in this is space is obviously good for us. User agents should do what's good for us, not what's good for some company. If subverting their business interests is good for us, that's exactly what the software should do. We are its masters.

Really, the user should have all the power. These companies already have what, billions of dollars? That's power enough for them.
Yeah, it seems like it would be far more effective just to count calories instead of enduring emotional abuse. I had a bad relationship where I lost weight as well, but that was because it was an unhealthy one that cause a lot of emotional harm.
There's plenty of alternatives to amateur bands for backup communications. ZigBee and LoRA networks/repeaters, amateur WiFi in ISM, Starlink, GSM radios, modems over POTS lines, etc. Ham really is a solution looking for a problem. I was very interested in Ham and in college spent some time in the Ham club but even then, before LTE everywhere and smartphones, it was obvious that GSM could eat Ham's lunch. These days with smartphones I don't even bother. I have a GMRS setup I keep at home to tackle some dead spots in our area or to talk to my partner when I'm working in the garage (and as a backup in case of power outages), which works good enough for our purposes.

Ham these days really is a solution looking for a problem. Probably its biggest advantage these days is how easy it is to get cheap, used ham equipment compared to some of the alternatives.
If they ban you does this mean that they stop tracking you and saving data about you? Sounds like a win.
Just like I don't get the VT100 nostalgia.

Using XWindows just to manage xterms, with everything in text mode besides the window manager itself?

Welcome to 1994 using DG/UX with X terminals.
Since this outage broke the access card systems, they were probably better off with most workers at home with working internet than if they were at the office sitting in the parking lot looking around at everyone else.

There are very few people who have the knowledge and authorization to fix a global networking problem (for example, I have no physical access to our company's networking rooms, nor do I have any credentials that would let me log on to a router). But sure, keep a couple of those people in the office just in case of emergency and they require physical access to the equipment, but whether random developers are at home or standing in the parking lot because they are locked out seems to make little difference in recovering the network.
That's exciting, I discovered feedly year, then moved to using newsblur as an rss reader... since then I've become quite enamored with RSS lately
That's certainly possible, but only if she felt like she didn't need the populist-left energy anymore (which is plausible).
Or, you link and see what symbols need definitions. As, in fact, everyone already does, and has done for decades.

Since no_std would forbid an enormous amount of what you probably also want to use, you probably don't use it. Instead, you see what symbols the linker says need to be defined in your runtime support library, and add those.
I think that was already the policy though. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/12/facebook-delays-return-to-of...
I'm not sure what the significance of the fact that they would be federal prosecutions is. You say misdemeanors would turn into federal charges, but that's not how it works - they'd still be misdemeanors, just charged by the federal government instead of the government of an individual state.
wow, unrelated to the article content, but... I was on the page and thought 'how come there is so little noise on this page and I can focus on the text?'
Didn't know there is a 'lite' CNN. I wish the internet would be like that again.
Please don't sue us right now, our lawyer is passed out in an alley from too much moonshine, so please atleast wait until he's found and doesn't have a huge hangover...

The problem here seems to be that the material is unreleased? If that is the case, you can easily fix the problem by releasing it. We'll be more than glad to help you distribute it - free of charge! - to our users.

Thank you for the link. Their responses are hilarious, haha
I agree with you. It's clear the voters don't.
Being Digitally Anti-Fragile Part 1
> All the crap of AI / machine learning to prevent cross-site tracking that's useless to me in "Private Browsing" mode

Private Browsing, on its own, can only limit the scope of cross-site tracking to a single Private Browsing session. It does not prevent cross-site tracking within that session. (For example, if you visit two web sites within a Private Browsing session which both use Facebook widgets, Facebook may be able to correlate your activity across those sites.)
"I think that multitasking between multiple tasks has been somewhat-generally known to not be possible (for most people) for a while now"

But what is a task? You emphasize the term and I have a general concept of what a task is in work and other contexts. But that seems too fluid to make broad statements about human behavior - even with studies combining two activities. How do we know one person's doing a task isn't another person's multitasking? It's intuitively plausible that two activities logically will be somewhat harder than doing each in sequence. But are all such combinations identical? A lot of challenging activities do involve the combination of subtasks - firefighters might break into a building looking for survivors while monitoring the situation of the building for safety. Just about any video involves satisfying multiple constraint simulateously, if they didn't, they'd be boring, etc.
v.93 I don't even see Firefox Suggest in those settings.

Linux distro removed it? Or Firefox know apple, windows people will just put up with anything but linux people probably won't?

edit: Don't see it on an v.93 on an old mac laptop either.
checkboxes for browsing history, bookmarks, open tabs, shortcuts, search engines only. I wanna yell fake news out of FF loyalty boosterism but I do actually believe you so I wonder what's going on?
Here is an interesting application for ships hanging around in international waters:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_on_Waves

"Women on Waves (WoW) is a Dutch pro-choice nongovernmental organization (NGO) created in 1999 by Dutch physician Rebecca Gomperts, in order to bring reproductive health services, particularly non-surgical abortion services and education, to women in countries with restrictive abortion laws.[1] Other services offered by WoW include contraception, individual reproductive counseling, workshops, and education about unwanted pregnancy."
I was opted in without permission on macOS, so not just a linux thing.

Who the hell at Mozilla thinks that:

1) this is a good idea?
2) that they can sneak this by all of Firefox's tech-savvy users?

I mean, it just seems like such a low risk:reward ratio, what's the point? There's no way that this makes them enough money that it could be worthwhile.
Hey, nothing wrong with CRUD; it's what makes the world go around.

Not that that's anything like a reason not to ask what you need to ask, and turn a Q&A into a brownnosing session.
Well, the ad-in-address-bar situation is making me switch to Waterfox.

How great would that have been. Touchscreens have been one of the greatest setbacks in computing history. This comment was typed on a touchscreen.
That would require a lawsuit IIRC, but it does have a some legal ramifications - I remember reading somewhere that C&D would make it easier for the recipient of it to sue.

It definitely doesn't help their image or any antitrust lawsuit FB might be facing.
At least, every browser should include a grabber which will mirror all information it sees to store locally/in the cloud.

Facebook bans you? You still have all your data intact.

I wonder if Facebook is legally still obliged to provide all its information to the user in the EU even after banning the user, and if they comply.
Right, I started the thread by saying that. I tried to neutrally describe the double standard citizens of some countries have.

If you mean we should expect everyone to forgo holding opinions that benefit them selfishly: perhaps, but any success wouldn’t last past the next perceived opportunity or threat.
Article mentions this—he clearly must have been a person of importance to get this kind of treatment. Reading this kind of story makes me immensely grateful to be a nobody alive at this time and place. Hopefully future generations will similarly look back at us with pity for the relative barbarism and deprivation we endure.

> Even in the ~190K years before we settled down, those people had brains identical to yours and mine.

Humans had larger brains in hunter & gatherer times. Similar to domesticated animals, it got smaller once we settled down and started agriculture.
>Oh, it's worth mentioning that another movement derived from theosophy, ariosophy, went on to form the basis of Nazi cosmology.

This claim doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Ariosophy was known as ario-christianity by its formulators [0]. Theosophical elements were twisted by the Nazis as were elements of many religions: Christanity(as above), Buddhism and Hinduism (the swastika), etc. That you can find elements of each of those religious systems in twisted form in Nazi cosmology does not mean it was derived from them nor that Theosophists, Christians, Hindus, and Buddhists share any kind of common cause with the Nazis.

I did not say that taxes are evil per se, but bad taxes are bad.

"This undermines the free market (...)" - yes taxes obviously affect the free market. They are often meant to skew (regulate) it, like tax that targets unhealthy products eg cigarrets.

Also, the way we spend money is not neutral to the economy. By buying one product over another we send an important signal about what is valuable. If we, as a sociaty choose junk, we will get more junk, if we choose good products, we will get even better products in the future.

I recommend you read about "the broken window fallacy", since it is related.
I could be wrong, but I think you can side-load any extension locally. About 3 years ago Google made it impossible to have users click a link on your website and install that way (which some people referred to as side-loading), but I think you can still enable dev mode and side-load a downloaded file.
there are handlebar mounted mirrors, my father has one
Coinbase hits a unique intersection of outrage here since it provokes vitriol from both people who hate cryptocurrency, and those that are outspoken progressives, both of which are large demographics on HN.

Like when you think about it, how is this a big deal in any way? I think the fact that people are making a big deal out of it is a bigger deal than whatever Coinbase's internal practices are here.
And they'll get new friends.

I doubt that shaming individuals works. But having thoughtful discourse about it is probably much better - let people hear the arguments and make up their mind.

With this being said, I do find it a waste that some of the best minds in the world are working towards ads and engagement businesses. Having a tool for global communication is wonderful, but their unethical behaviors are unexcusable.
Interest payments are deductible. [0] The scheme was described by ProPublica earlier this year. [1] If they sell stock they lose the control over the firm that stock represents. That would be fine for normal humans, but not for the super control freaks under discussion. The interest, which is certainly lower than "prime" for borrowers like this in the era of zero-benchmark [2], is typically paid by future loans. It doesn't hamper the lifestyles of the rich any more than it benefits the public treasury.

It would be immoral to redistribute the real property someone worked on.

I have no issue with income distribution of a social value store since allowing it to be monopolized to prop up the value of a minority rich, to let millions starve, or die of preventable disease is immoral and violent.

I don’t believe Elon Musk is worth billions. I just can’t take his real stuff.

Letting our social value store be co-opted by a handful of memes isn’t exactly free agency, speech, or market of ideas. When “get job, buy stuff” is the one true sentence, why believe ideas like freedom matter?
yes i do, the frugal aspect is extremely appealing to me.

someone made a turbovision (borland turbo pascal ui framework) lib for java https://jexer.sourceforge.io/
what if there is only one brand of fax, they are selling your phone number to advertisers and they demand you receave the faxes?

or say you have to listen to robocalls or els you cant use some unrelated monopolistic service or product?

i like the analogy but the real story is who would use such a tool. if someone feels they need such extreme measures i wouldnt dare deny them this. who in there right mind?
Yeah; she had the permits. It was kinda funny from the outside because people kept complaining to the county and the county kept pushing back saying it was approved. That shed must've been inspected 3 separate times because of a couple of neighbors who didn't even live on the same street but I guess were just bored.

The neighborhood has an HOA but the HOA actually had no actual rules because they were not properly registering with the county when they made bylaws (where my mom is all HOA rules have to be submitted to the state, otherwise they are not enforceable). Gotta love HOAs.
What you are saying doesn't make any sense. The take-a-loan against your shares will work until you have to stop at some point or you die and your estate is taxed...
A corporation successfully reinvesting its profits makes shareholders wealthier. People are concerned about how wealthy those shareholders are getting.

Personal income tax is not a solution for wealth inequality. The problem as stated is not what rich people are selling, it's what they own.
I'm pretty sure you were being snarky, but you're exactly right, otherwise it'll just become a commercial network.

A "no commercial traffic but there's no way anyone could verify it" rule wouldn't be very effective.
I actually think this has a pretty obvious answer. The "press" consists of the same people rambling on Twitter: woke anxious 20 year olds who, instead of going to therapy, insist that instead that's who they are and it's the entire world who needs to change. At the same time, the people who can see through the bullcrap are happy that they can finally do their work.
Yeah. Imagine sending a C&D to an extension developer because their software is helping people break free from their social media feed addictions. Can't have that, it's reducing ad impressions!

It's like Facebook wants people to hate them.
some analog terminals had hardware smooth scrolling .. pretty superb even by today's standards
You sound like a ball of buzzwords.

First, it's not that Wayland is bad, but it's simply not there yet. It still needs more time and effort. Nothing is wrong with this. What's wrong is trying to shove that thing into people's throat.

Second, NixOS is overrated for desktops. It's good for reproducing specific environment, but, unlike servers and dev envs, in desktop environments, changes are made from both software and user side frequently and sometime radically. ROI is significantly lower, and NixOS still can't save you from long-term breakage.

What I can say is that you're just riding on hypes, and never looked into the true abyss. If you're into rock solid systems, nothing can beat full-time suckless. Ditch those "modern" stuffs like systemd and smart DEs, and you get perfectly predictable system. Do that on Debian, an you have nothing to babysit at all.
Kraken.com has ether. I'm not sure if you can short it there... Nonetheless. The market can stay longer irrational, then you liquid :)
That was exactly my issue with Firefox. They mostly fixed it in 2016 [1], though I still found a few issues. These days, it seems mostly to be a thing of the past.

I think that’s a good reason to read the linked article before drawing conclusions about its contents from discussion threads. Having read the article first, I understood immediately that the comment was not misrepresenting anything from the article, and that their commentary bolsters the point made there.

And you don’t necessarily have to read the article before comments. I often don’t! But when I encounter something in comments which seems incongruous with what I’d expect or hope to find in the article, that’s a good prompt to go ahead and read it to gain context.
