Thanks for your feedback, it is very much appreciated!

yes, it's part of the table row that includes the title, but if you take the text within the link tag only, then you don't get that indication - I think that's what the HN api might be doing.

Example:

<td class="title"> [flagged] <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mcauliffe-education-plan-could-lead-to-1970s-style-busing" class="titlelink">McAuliffe Plan: Giving Parents a ‘Choice’ Leads to ‘Segregation’</a><span class="sitebit comhead"> (<a href="from?site=dailywire.com"><span class="sitestr">dailywire.com</span></a>)</span></td>

Actually if you ask me, I don't know why they are using this 'flagging' thing over here, they might have just moved a submission some pages away from the front pages, if they don't like it.
This sound far more like saving face and maybe even incompetence by higher officer ranks

> The branches of military function more like independently cooperating organizations

Yes. My experience is with the British Army. It's a collection of multiple tribes with distinct and powerful local loyalties and rivalries. There may be shared trust, especially when the different parts have trained together or been on ops with each other.

[Edit]. Before I started working with them, I thought that 'uniform' meant 'something that is the same everywhere'. Boy was I wrong. There is a phenomenal variation in the regalia, badges, belt buckles, head dress, etc, etc. And the arcane career development paths, rank structures, e.g. depending on whether your ancestors were foot, cavalry, guns, etc.

[Edit] And these historical variations and beliefs translate into substantial procedural variations. E.g. is an armoured vehicle driver a glorified bus driver or a hardened warfighter? Infantry and armoured units could have very different perceptions of this role, and this would translate into variations in training, career development, prestige, etc.
And there is a wide difference between an "interview" podcast episode and one where it's "two people hanging out", in my opinion. It really needs to be the former, but there's many of those too fortunately.
It means that you'd probably have to compromise heavily on the third arm of the triangle, i.e. the salary.
Tor might not actually be compromised and it may as well be that these DNM admins just have a small opsec slip-up that LEA jump on.
I was wrong about consume.

That part isn't a bug, though. It needs the dedicated GPU to push all those pixels, the native screen is already pretty dense.

There was a bug where something would infinite loop on a non-standard resolution, think that was fixed.
draw.io (now diagrams.net) is great! One killer feature: if you save your diagram as a PNG, the PNG contains the diagram itself as metadata! This means that anyone can view it as an image, but if someone opens it in diagrams.net they can edit it!

What are the aspects that are considered superior for the older 7-row keyboards compared to the newer 6-row keyboards? I have always seen a lot of praise for the older 7-row keyboards but it is not clear to me what makes them superior and too much time has passed since I used one to remember the feel. Is it the feel of the membrane that has changed? Is it the layout itself that is missed? The shape of the keys? Is it key travel? They do indeed have a very iconic look.

Personally I enjoy the clear and sharp separation of keys I can feel on so called chicklet keys. I never liked the keys with lean sloping edges. For the same reason I prefer XDA keycaps for mechanical kkeyboards. And I think the 6-row arrangement alows for a larger touchpad.
It wouldn't be infeasible for the intelligence services to require

Yes.

Bloomberg pointed out the fact that one key factor was businesses increasing worker's wages to attract and retain workers.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-11-04/u-s-produ...

Considering the ongoing discussion on the US's minimum wage and how it falls below the poverty line, is this drop in productivity actually bad or undesirable?
Nice advertorial. ;) I’m intrigued by their focus on cyclists (although I guess few groups have as much interest in spending disposable income on displaying their devotion to their sport) when, if these are all they’re made out to be, they’d be a pretty cool phone HUD for pretty much anything.
Boeing 737 Max negligence case ends with $225 mn settlement: WSJ
Almost certainly one of these. It's not a typosquatting attack, since it's an existing package. And it's not a repository compromise, since they had to create new versions instead of silently altering an existing version.
Inertial navigation means judging the vector you’ve moved on from a known position. It doesn’t help you detect anything out there unless you already knew it was there!

I don’t think we have perfected gravity sensors for use on submarines yet, so they would not have helped either.

A lot of people on this thread seem to be sort of thinking in their heads ‘why weren’t they looking out the windows?!’ Detecting things from submarines is very hard. At the moment you can basically only listen. And listening to something that doesn’t make any noise is a challenge!

It's simpler if I show you: https://justine.lol/printvideo.html That's how you hack a terminal to display multimedia in a portable way. Sadly most terminals can't keep up. Some like Alacritty crash with memory errors running that program. Other ways exist of hacking your way to multimedia. I've seen some people code their terminal programs to sort of hook into the X Windows server, figure out where the terminal window is, and then blit their media onto an overlay. But like I said I appreciate the retro aesthetic.
Incompetence is far likelier to like at the top of a bureaucracy where politics and charm are far likelier to be rewarded, and the consequences of decisions are harder to attribute or have a long time horizon.

In addition, political capital is accumulated (and saved) while at the top of an institution, which works as as a "get out of jail" card.

Lower members of the institution reap no benefits like those given to top brass, and often the outcomes of their poor decisions are inmediate and directly attributable.

In this example, its not hard to see why the sub managers were terminated.

Clear attribution, inmediate effects from accidents, and the accused were not at the top of the org
I think this comment highlighted the issue best (and it's not possible to address really): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27632195

I was initially curious, then cautious, then a bit disappointed as I dug into how you're doing what you're doing.

What would make this data truly decentralized and "DNS-based" is if the data was published to the companies' respective domains as extra standardized records (and even thinking about it for 30 seconds I can see the problems with that). As it stands, everything is hosted on num.net.

It's literally just a JSON API with extra steps.

Now don't get me wrong; you've opened my mind to the fact that yes, hosting certain things over DNS has use cases. I think you built something neat, but I too am concerned that you're directly contributing to a tragedy of the commons effect. You're piggy-backing off decentralized infrastructure that gets to be free because its costs are globally minimal.

In other words, you're paying for your infrastructure by fishing for pennies in the Trevi fountain.
The standard display in these devices is terrible though. You should assume you will want to swap it out for something better.
I don't think civilian deaths says much about competence. It speaks more where we have drawn the line on on acceptable confidence and collateral damage.

For most of the population, driving while thinking about a physics problem would be considered distracted driving, unless that problem involved avoiding hitting something in the road.
In theory, but the developer still has to build it for each platform separately. Often they don't bother. It's not hard to find Windows-only Electron apps. This stands in contrast to webpages, which "just work" everywhere.
I've had a pleasant email interaction with the folks behind the Plum Village app, a meditation app from the group of Thich Nhat Hanh. I asked them about how to combine mindfullness with computer usage.

I think obedience will end up being a huge negative in future wars if rapid tactical iteration driven by autonomous planes, robots and drones becomes common. The age of obsequious human meat shields is approaching its literal terminus.

I have a couple of used X201 Tablets with i7s that I picked up a few years ago to use as beaters, and I'll heartily agree that an i7 in a laptop is ill-suited for any kind of extended load[0]. If I set the BIOS to the "normal" setting, the 2.13 GHz i7 L 640 throttles down to 1.2 GHz. There's also a "performance" setting; I don't recall what it throttled to when using it, but I do recall that it would let the CPU get up to 99°C, one degree shy of shutdown. They stay in the low 80s [edit: under load] in normal mode.

If you only need short bursts of high performance, the i7 is fine.

Malware anti detection: some will not launch without a network connection. The idea is to simulate a functional network but not provide access.
Frankly, I saw ieee.org and I decided to click to the comments first rather than the article, because IEEE is unfortunately not trustworthy or respectable.

I don't know about that. Kids are still proud when they can do arithmetic in their head while society has been grumbling about adults who cannot do arithmetic without a calculator for generations.

Personally, I think that kids should learn simple mental arithmetic. It's not that I expect them to use it when they become engineers or cashiers, but it is useful for making quick approximations. It is useful to know when they have to pull out a calculator to check the price they are being charged at the store or to know when to check what they fed the computer (since they have the tools to figure out when an answer is wrong).

You'd leave calculator physics for later, and focus on the practical physics of steering your 2-tonne cyclist crushing machine, I would hope.
I am not familiar with Ruby autoloading, but PHP autoloading is (in the vast majority of cases) not that magical.

PHP autoloading (with composer, the de facto standard) is basically just a one to one mapping of namespaces to file names, which have matching class names.

Now there can be more magical autoloading, if it is manually defined, but that's not very common compared to directly using `include` or `require`.

I suspect the RS232 on this is in fact exactly one of those $5 converters, and the swappable ports internally just use USB.
Is it the capital punishment that you have a problem with or the (potentially inherent) uncertainty in deciding if someone is guilty or not?

Ditching the product is probably the goal of the email, if the stats show that paid adoption happens within x days 98% of the time.

What I think those stats miss is that I will test a product with one email and if I decide to buy for a team will use a new account. So it looks like the conversion happened immediately skewing their sales/marketing strategy.

I don't see how this is an NPM issue at all. If the attacker made a Linux version and stuck it inside a Makefile, plenty of devs and build servers would end up executing the malicious code.

“Yeah well you won’t always have an encyclopaedia… you won’t always be able to ask your friends…” I think the single biggest and most overlooked change in the past 20 years has been the creeping ubiquity of knowledge. It may not be as sexy as Trinity downloading a helicopter piloting program but the ability to pull a datasheet for almost any piece of equipment literally out of thin air is damn near as useful.
What does "volatile" have to do with concurrency? It's for hardware access and benchmarking, not for multithreading.

As the article states, you can keep your eyes on the road instead of glancing down. And most cyclists who would potentially buy a device like this use a dedicated bike computer, not a smartphone.
I don’t know if that’s true either. Exposure to computing in the 80s or pre-internet 90s as a child would be a small minority of households enjoying the existing tooling, manuals, guides, games, and interfaces built by innovators before their time. It makes no sense to argue an economy was built on these households in particular, especially when tech is so much more diverse than whatever minority of families were able to afford spending a ton of money on in-home computing devices in a set of time.

It'd be awesome if new computers weren't missing so many desirable features.

With a modded old thinkpad I can get 95Wh of battery, I can get another 75Wh in 10 seconds by swapping the external battery.

I can get a 1440p 400nits matte display, even a version with HDR support or in 4K exists.

I can get as much RAM as I desire, thunderbolt 3 support, USB ports, ethernet port, hdmi, smartcard reader, sd card reader, LTE support, charging via usb c and via the old style connector.

I can use old docks and thunderbolt docks.

All that's missing is upgrading the CPU and the thunderbolt port to more lanes.

Which modern PC offers in 1.1kg-1.3kg 95Wh of battery, such a good display, such great reliability and connectivity, with 16 or 32GB of ddr4-3200mhz ram, 2TB NVMe storage, for less than 500€?

Which modern PC can even compete at all with that offer?

If you could replace the motherboard with these chinese mods, and add the ThinkPad 25 keyboard (with minor mods it fits into the T470) you could turn a T470 into the ultimate ThinkPad.
Yes and every time you add a new browser it changes your security code again.

It's a bit annoying because it undermines the value of the security notification. People get used to it (the boy that cried wolf). I used to get people asking if things were ok if I moved to a new device. This won't happen anymore when people get ten of these a day
Place Is Pryson (2019)
I would imagine most people agree with the What and the Why of the article in about 30 seconds of reading. What I think is missing from the article and perhaps from all of us is the How. Tracing the line from urban design aesthetics to policy to legislation to legislators and lobbyists is a very obscure line with many sharks looking to stay obscure and keep their cut in the pipeline I imagine.

This probably explains the prevalence of bike lanes (I do use them frequently) because its so much easier for polticians to say “I built that!” than it is to say “I prevented abstract concept X!”
The Garmin device they’re talking about is active sonar. That means it makes a big noise. It’s like shining a light into a dark room - everyone can see where the light is coming from.
This is much less applicable yet, given that the all-volunteer military, which has a higher degree of professionalism than its previous iteration as a result, didn't exist at the time.
So you think that locking up people for the rest of their lives is less barbaric?
My experience as well. It makes sense. Of course, lots of people treat Glass Door like it's accurate.
Even if the battery and the car’s components are not environment friendly, it must be better to have the emissions centrally than to have them at each individual car. It’s obviously much harder to control omissions from a single car (not considering blanket ban of cars) than from a factory. It’s also far easier to regulate and control a factory than controlling what people actually does.

Cyclists are obsessed with real-time data - how fast am I going, what is my power output right now, which heart rate and power zones am I in at the moment,.etc etc. All this is normally displayed on a cycling computer, but if you have a HUD, even better..especially as most already wear sunglasses of some kind to avoid getting insects and other things in the eyes.
Beautiful. Especially love the sound.
I guess it means you can look where you're going at all times + have the data visible constantly rather than in intermittent glances.
Reminder that people should seriously consider disabling the install-scripts.

Personal system-wide config:

npm/yarn config set ignore-scripts true -g

and add & commit a .npmrc/.yarnrc file with

ignore-scripts true

Yes, this will cause headaches in some (increasingly rare) cases where some package actually needs those scripts. You can fix this with custom install scripts that take care of running install for those specific packages.

And yes yes, as people love to point out, this isn't exactly a bulletproof solution either. The attacker could just put the malicious code inside the package's code and wait for it to be actually executed. But again and again, they don't, they choose to use the package's install scripts as the place to do their dirty work.

So in practice this policy would've alrady protected you from who knows how many of these attacks, and my guess is that it'll continue to do so.

Of the 66 states categorized as 'very high' in the 2020 Human Development Index 12 (including Japan) use the death penalty, another 5 have it on the books but are currently in moratorium, and another 2 réserve it only for crimes committed in times of war. That's 19/66, more than a 1/4 of the most developed states (and still nearly 1/5 if you exclude the moratorium and wartime-only states). Japan is far from alone.

yes I read that. can't you just look down when it's safe?
To keep Rust's safety model, anything that is UB should only be allowed in unsafe code blocks.

However to be 100% sure of what can be considered safe, it needs to be the same regardless of what hardware is being targeted.

That is how C got its UB in first place, WG14 didn't want to rule out any kind of hardware that was possible to target so UB it was.

Other memory safe systems programming languages have gone through other path and were willing to add abstractions to their runtimes instead, ensuring that the memory model remains consistent to the developers.

Naturally in languages that want to be zero cost abstraction, that solution is not welcomed.
Rear view mirror would be useful.
Not directly related to the article, but the other day I saw the "camera in use" indicator in the Android status bar while WhatsApp was open. The camera usage history showed it was being used by WhatsApp at the time (not another app), but I wasn't making use of any feature that required a camera at that time (browsing contacts).

I doubt it was nefarious. Anyone know why something like this would happen? Is there some internal calibration going on or maybe a bug? I disabled WhatsApp's camera permission immediately afterwards.
In the United States, the marines appear to be a separate force to the navy. They are listed as a branch of the United States Armed Forces, of which the coast guard is also under.

(Edit: someone downthread had explained to me that the marines are a sister organization to the us navy, and are both under a department. It makes more sense to criticize the branch based on what a sister branch did.)
