“Using the state to enforce intellectual property is not really libertarian.”

As far as I understand, in a libertarian world the state would not enforce property rights but you would have to go a court and sue. I think the result would be the same as we have now. The party who can afford more lawyers or lobbyists will most likely win.
Interpreted literally it’s a reasonable question: “What process should I follow when I encounter a problem?”
I've been bitten by bitwise operations on signed integers a few too many times. Are there any plans on having normal unsigned integer types yet?
There are some remastered ISOs floating around.
Maybe worry about leveling the playing field first? There's so much money and research and development going into Java that there's no possible way for Java to end up with a "decaying ecosystem" inside the next twenty years. It's like pointing out DuckDuckGo and worrying about Google.
I think that's the issue though: You're seeing "Linux users" that only use Linux on their servers because they are somewhat forced to do so.

I would actually expect that almost all of those people use Windows or MacOS for their local development.
You can use Coca Cola for jail breaks: see this article about a recent jail break in Israel, where the inmates used cola to get through eight inches of concrete floors. So much for the acids that they put into this 'soft drink'...

There is nothing harmless about liquid fructose, or liquid sugar (which is half fructose).

The people who know the most about fructose blame it for the huge public health crisis that the US (and UK, Pakistan, India, and some other countries) are suffering, manifested as insulin resistance and type #2 diabetes, "metabolic syndrome". It kills way more than COVID.

Specifically: fructose is mostly processed only by the liver. (The liver's main job is neutralizing toxins.) Excess fructose is processed on the same metabolic pathways as alcohol, a major toxin. Large amounts of fructose are turned into fat and stored in the liver, like alcohol, and generate uric acid, which causes gout and numerous other problems, like alcohol. (Your kidneys work to try to clear uric acid, but the spikes are harmful.) Today, American children are getting cirrhosis, like alcoholics.

Taken with enough fiber, fructose absorption is delayed long enough that gut bacteria get most of it, instead, where it causes them no problem. Fruits have fructose and fiber, but juice and soda have no fiber. Fructose without enough fiber is slow poison.

A good place to start learning about fructose metabolism is Robert Lustig vids on youtube. (I watch them at 1.5x-2x speed with subtitles, to save time.) Or read his books. Lustig is a respected endocrinologist.
We would need to do a rigorous test though to see if this low bar is significant, you would have 4 groups of people

- Windows tech people(c/c++ developers)
- Linux tech people(c/c++ devs and sys admins)
- Arch non tech people that copy pasted instructions
- any other OS or distro non tech people

then see if the Arch copy paste-rs are closer to non tech people or closer to tech people. The assumption is that since they can read instructions would create better bug reports, but is also possible they would be over -confident elitist-ic dudes that use weird packages and broke the program with their copy pasting of commands and installing garbage from AUR;
Drivers intentionally cross plainted lines they are not supposed to cross all the time. Drivers rarely cross curbs intensionally.

SF for example is full of solid white lines. The law says solid white lines are supposed to be treated the same as concrete barriers. No crossing period. Yet people cross them all the time with impunity. If they were actually curbs people would only rarely cross them accidentally

Subzero temperatures don't seem to be that much of a problem, as the Finnish city of Oulu shows us:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oulu

"Oulu is notable for its transportation network dedicated to non-motor vehicular traffic, including pedestrians and bicycles (termed "light" traffic in Finland). In 2010, the city contained more than 600 kilometres (370 mi) of pathways and more than 100 underpasses and bridges devoted exclusively to light traffic. The network is used year-round. The ratio of light traffic pathways to residents is the highest in Finland and the cycling mode share is 20 percent.[40][41] Oulu is often touted as an excellent city for bicycling."

You're noticing the exception to the rule, not the rule.
> Not really more than tags

All I meant is there are use cases where you only want each item to show up once (eg. show me a list of all my files).

In my product, a file with multiple tags would show up in multiple folders - which is great until you hit one of the above use cases.

One way to accommodate is to just classify according to the "primary" tag in such circumstances (provided its clear the eg. first tag has some added weight).

I wish this action came sooner.

Thanks for sharing! I'm on Cube's product team and we'd love your feedback on what else we can do to improve Cube. We also welcome your input on our Slack/GH.

I've worked on a few open-source projects, so I'll just share what I personally love about Cube and what drew me to the project in the first place:

1) It has an un-opinionated but well supported front-end dev experience focused around an intuitive OLAP-based API. OLAP = think measures, dimensions, etc. What I mean by "un-opinionated" is we expect most developers want to create their own visualization layer, whether that's a dashboard, a report, or just any kind of data-intensive app you can imagine, instead of being forced to embed a hardset iframe, for example. But this is still a well-supported workflow in Cube, despite the customizability, as we enabled code-generation features that also work for most major JS UI frameworks (Angular, React, Vue). And, we're now actively working on a SQL connector for Cube, too, so if you want to query Cube with a SQL-driven BI tool like Apache Superset, that'll soon be doable, too. Additionally, a GraphQL interface is potentially coming soon, too (Cube's API is currently REST).

2) It has the ability to read data from all the major modern databases, warehouses, and query engines. I saw a comment above about Snowflake, and yea, that and other big data platforms out there have been our primary focus this year, so we've made recent improvements here, in terms of performance and reliability. We're now working on integrations for streaming datasources, e.g Kafka. I'm particularly excited about this!

3) Slow queries are problematic, especially in dashboards. I don't know about you, but it really bugs me to see wonderful apps everywhere with poor analytics user-experiences, with load times at half a minute or more. One of Cube's best features here (and, admittedly, perhaps one of the more complex ones to understand, which we're working on, too :), is made possible by pre-aggregations and Cube Store, the caching component of Cube specifically designed and fine-tuned for querying large datasets. You can think of a pre-aggregation as a condensed, materialized view of your query results that can serve multiple permutations of queries, and yet are decently efficient with data freshness as well as minimizing your backend data processing costs.

We’re also extremely fortunate to have such a supportive open-source community that propelled this project forward much further than we could have imagined; y’all’s trust in this project and its continued enhancement is what has really kept it going and growing.
Ag (the_silver_searcher) has performance closer to ripgrep and a similar feature set. But it’s tough to beat ripgrep both for performance and reliability. Rust is great in this application.
I don't know about the rest of this, but fructose cannot be turned into uric acid. Uric acid is a nitrogen compound and there is no nitrogen in fructose.
Workflowy, alongside a regular email and calendar. Workflowy is very simple yet flexible and has the tools that make me operate without thinking much.

It allows me to quickly keep a GTD-ish list of stuff going on and action items needs to be taken and I can organize them as detailed as needed with labels, colors, etc. I find the simplicity/features ratio work well for me.

Getting Things Done method by David Allen
The issue of “jury-driven scientific consensus” is terrifying. A bunch of ignorant laypersons cannot be expected to sift through the mountains of lies presented in a courtroom setting and reach a sound conclusion about anything. The fact that our legal systems allow this kind of farce to occur with increasing regularity should undermine the public’s trust of everyone involved: the companies, lawyers, judges, and the government itself. As this case helps demonstrate, the law is systematically failing to deliver either truth or justice.
I used a Nano 5th gen, the last to have a clickwheel, until 2019. It was primarily for use at the gym but because I mostly listened to podcasts and didn't want to try to keep everything synced with Mac, Nano, and iPhone, it was the only thing I used for portable audio.

I've switched to using an Apple Watch to have wireless headphones but it's not great; syncing to the Watch's storage (I don't want my phone on me at the gym) is slow and the Podcast app can be wonky. Just today it stopped playing an episode in the middle for no apparent reason and I couldn't get it to start again. Some of this may be because it's a Series 1 Watch but newer models seem too expensive for possibly not that much better an experience.
Yes. You would have to have a placebo controlled test to confirm placebo vs "just happens to last 8 hours". This is what placebo controls are for.
Haven't read the full article but not sure it's accurate, the benchmarking script (https://github.com/inner-product/http4s-native-image/blob/ma...) doesn't even use the server VM and missing other basic optimizations you'd use if you were running a Uberjar in production.
It does have risks since the 3 digit dial looks distinctive. Or things like redial that could give it away.
You kind of get used to it? My bikes were always secondhand though, so even if one disappeared I’d be out €20 or so.
Oh gosh, please understand that none of this is new to anyone who works in the industry.

Everyone knows how fuzzy it is. Everyone knows the scheming from the VP Marketing, to the Agencies, to the Exchanges etc..

But we also know when it works, and when it works well. The more experienced marketers have an intuition for how all the various different marketing activities combine to form a synergy. And how it gets disproportionaly harder to do in a low cost way, to the extent that large, fat, profits exist that can be extracted.

But that's no different than any other part of a company. P&G could drop 1/2 of their White Collar workers and probably figure out how to get along just as well. Union workers in Auto Plants have benefits that put them way ahead of what they'd have otherwise, but they have the power to extract it. Governments pay out to 'no bid contracts' - and especially lawyers - considerably more than they have to.

Every sector of every industry is making sausage, the issue is to highlight the actually illegal stuff, and put some legal parameters around it.

Google bidding on it's own auctions is a problem.

Google's control over adjacent parts of the value chain is a problem.

Google's metrics, if they were fabricated, that's a problem.

But bad marketers that spend too much on ineffective campaigns, that's not a legal problem.
Not a lot of Windows in the shared hosting space. And what little there is tends to be more expensive, from what I have seen.

> in hindsight that ibm > lenovo deal was a bad deal for ibm.

IBM got out of an industry they didn't want to be in, but they still have a lot of positive brand feelings, and a large stake in Lenovo (not sure if they still hold that). Where's the bad for IBM?

They sold off their PC server line to Lenovo about a decade later, so clearly the first deal wasn't too bad.

IBM seems to want to focus on Enterprise, so getting rid of things that individuals use, while still having relationships to sell them (because individuals exist in the enterprise), seems to work for them. After IBM bought SoftLayer, Lenovo servers started showing up instead of SuperMicro.

A number of natural juices (e.g. grapefruit) are more acidic than Coca Cola, so that's not telling much.
Sorry, if you can't read between the lines at even this point, I doubt being explicit would help.
> It's an unfortunately consequence of a secure device.

No, that's bullshit, and it saddens me that on the day where everyone is finally coming up to learn that not only Google is evil but that even the stuff Google does "in the name of privacy" is still evil, people still give Apple a free pass for the very same shady behavior.

I can think of a million ways to make this "cryptographic integrity" that do not have the side effect of making repair impossible. For example, and even the video author mentions it, why not allow "pairing" the motherboard with the new components after a secure wipe of the data?

And that's just the first obvious thing. But even if it was completely impossible to do this "cryptographic integrity" without impacting repairability (which it isn't), which of these scenarios do you think worries the average iPhone customer more: an evil-maid replaces the $300 screen on their iPhone with a compromised one in order to get to their passcode; or: Apple trying to charge $800 in order to repair the same $300 screen which their toddler broke ?

Let's not give these companies a pass on their obviously anti-competitive behavior just because they claim to do in the name of "privacy" or "security".

Indeed, if you do embedded development it's somewhere between hard and impossible to avoid Windows, although it's still a horrific platform for software development compared to Linux or even macOS. Many tools are Windows-only or Windows-first.
After reading the other comments I feel very low-tech but I'm using Apple's Calendar and Reminders apps, synced though iCloud.

I get notifications on my devices including my watch, I can manage entries via Siri when I'm driving, and it can detect appointments from my text messages and emails. I don't think I'd want to give any of that up.

(I also make intensive use of Apple Notes, which I really love.)

> LTL filed for bankruptcy last week in a federal court in Charlotte, N.C., a move designed to sharply limit efforts to recover damages for those who say they were harmed by J&J's baby powder.

> [J&J] remains one of the wealthiest corporations in the world, with more than $25 billion in cash reserves, and has not filed for bankruptcy.

Where's the clickbait? As stated, J&J calved off a company to redirect lawsuits away from itself, and that company has filed bankruptcy, which can be used to reduce its liability.

Your first point is quite irrelevant. The courts determined that the company owes people money. They can appeal the ruling if they think that they've got a case, but whether or not that happens, it doesn't detract from the accuracy of the headline. This is a loophole that huge companies are using to avoid legal liabilities, abusing bankruptcy while staying solvent.
Except without Java they are meaningless.

Reading about CISSP, this is listed as a requirement:
- Possess a minimum of five years of direct full-time security work experience in two or more of the (ISC)² information security domains (CBK).

Looks more like an intermediate/senior level kind of certificate?
I was initially looking at this to see how they automated their Let's Encrypt and if it was better than just using Caddy. I was disappointed to find they are just creating a self-signed RootCA and issuing certs.

> Now if you go into Chromium browser settings and search "certificates", in the Security tab, Manage Certificates, you can add an Authority. Import 'ca.pem'. Tell the browser to Trust this certificate for identifying websites. This should add 'org-test-ca' to your browser. This allows HTTPS certificates signed by that to be seen as valid in your browser.
Just from the title, I went in expecting that percentage to be much higher, but still expected I'd get a chance to complain how report quality was not taken into account (I expected Linux users to submit better reports)!

Pleasantly surprised on all accounts :D
Because that won't make them any money like their loot boxes.

As for the matter, some teams here are just as incompetent so someone's probably going to have a fire lit under their arse to either fix the signing issue or publicly document why these APIs are now "protected"

Funny enough I don’t have a recent photo, but here’s some early experimentation on style from 2.5 years ago. https://mobile.twitter.com/binarymax/status/1452324029843529...

Nowadays they look most like the ones on the right but are better refined and are serrated. The two left are pine (smells great but are soft), and the two right are maple.
Only the initial identity is non-zero cost (and there are free IDs, but they're more likely to get banned for spam).

The point of the cost is that it's cheap but non-zero. It makes spam uneconomical, creates pseudonyms for accruing reputation and makes it trivial to moderate (IDs are permanent).

Applications built on the platform can take advantage of this ID system and none of them need to rebuild auth or handle networking across the web. This means application devs can just focus on their apps and distribution is trivial.

The modern web is a nightmare of complexity for people trying to build applications, you basically need to raise VC and have a SaaS in order to be able to hire the armies of people required to build anything.
This happens all the time with "guest" languages. A few old salts have been prophesying this right here on HN since Kotlin first came out. I think it'll still be used on Android though, it's hard to see Google pushing Android development back to Java.
Or they only let you turn off tracking for google products, because those track you internally anyway and it makes no difference, while there's no way to turn off 3rd party tracking...
Other than sign-extension on right shift, I can't think of a bitwise operator that has a different implementation between signed/unsigned. What scenarios are you thinking of?
