I smiled at their George Washington quote; people who know George Washington's stance on free speech (e.g. his support for the Sedition Act) understand that he drew the line of free speech much more harsh than what we do today.
No the issue here is Docker creating an improperly configured network interface.

xbox apps on Windows do not care about virtualization, in fact they probably can't - because xbox os is essentially a subset of windows as host and guest.
Back in April I fired up LBRY when I heard about it. Sounded kinda neat on a technical front.

95% of the page was conspiracy-tards and racists. Noped right off, and haven't been on since.

Just launched it again and the front page shows a video from some asshole talking about how she's discovered that Measles is a sham and SHE has uncovered the fact that NOBODY has proved the existence of virus particles! Also, turns out that PCR is fake, who knew? eyeroll

LBRY is now dominated by "pseudopandemic" vloggers, antivaxxers, 9/11 conspiratards, "population control" conspiratards, "Australia is FALLING!!!"...the list goes on.

There are people who legitimately could use censorship-free platforms, but they're drowned out by all the assholes and morons who think they're being "censored" by (insert boogeyman here) trying to hide THE TRUTH...when really it's that nobody can stand their bigotry/stupidity.
Good points, thank you.

Language is something I would relish learning in the actual setting of Sweden. Having learned Japanese for three years in Japan, it was (and remains) a difficult thing to master and I suspect conversational Swedish would be simpler to pick up, at least. My short time spent in Sweden, the people I met were very happy just to hear my few halting phrases of their language, as are my Swedish friends here, in California. That's always encouraging.

About housing (and prices of things overall), yeah, I suppose things are reasonable relative to our respective hometowns. My impression was that local salaries were also lower, though. My recollection from a couple years ago was that front-end devs (my current employment, 6-ish YoE) were making around SEK 400k-500k/year, which is a good deal less than my current salary. Perhaps my view of tech salaries is highly skewed due to my location, though. Also, this conversation does revolve around remote work, so maybe a moot point.
> Reminds me of the predictions 20 years ago that outsourcing/offshoring would eliminate hands-on developer jobs in US/UK and other "expensive" countries.

Well in the corporate world offshoring really is everywhere. Even Goldman Sach's, #2 office for engineers in is Bangalore.

You and me both: I tried very hard to use Linux, but I couldn't find any compelling reason to stick to it. Having zfs snapshots would be nice, but not given the various pains Linux entails on the UI.

AutoHotKey has no serious match on Linux, but it's not the main reason I stick to Windows: it's the terminal support.

I'm a heavy terminal user, and I found my experience seriously worse on Linux than on Windows, with no way to replicate something as good as mintty.

I seriously considered finding a way to make mintty work on wine, before giving up.

When Windows Terminal achieves sixel support, maybe we'll see a port of WT to Linux? That'd be fun :)

Like with Edge on Linux that may incentivize me to try Ubuntu again!
I'll take this opportunity to mention one of my favorite apps: Paprika [0].

It's a recipe app that can import from just about every recipe site/blog/etc and if it can't auto-import it then you can use the really easy tools to grab all the pertinent information. Once imported you can edit/scale/rate/tag/categorize/etc the recipe. Furthermore it has meal planning tools and a grocery list built in. I love the grocery list feature because you can easily click "Add to Grocery List" (of which you can have multiple if you want) and then just uncheck all the things you already have. It has a "Pantry" feature but I've never used it, I assume it will auto-uncheck items you already have when you go to add them to the grocery list but I'm not sure about that.

It's great to import a recipe and then tweak it after making it and see what works/doesn't so you don't have to find the recipe again later and/or remember the changes you made to it.

It's cross platform (Mac/iOS/Windows/Android) and running it on an older tablet in my kitchen is an awesome experience (timers built in, switch between multiple recipes easily, cross out ingredients after adding them, etc).

I have no connection to the company, I just love the app. If I had 1 request it would be a way to share recipes with friends through some "social"/"friend-ing" concept in the app (not using a social network). You can share a ".paprikarecipe" file that includes everything about the recipe but passing around a file isn't always easy and Discord just cuts off extensions longer than like 12 characters which makes it harder.

Ask HN: How do you get yourself to sleep when you want?
Always admired people who can sleep whenever they want. I lost several interviews and life important events because I have no control over my sleep and every 2-3 days I lose my sleep till 5-6 am and wake up next day like zombie. I tried many existing suggestions including reducing my ambitions and anxiety triggering events by trying less stressful jobs, following digital well being, keep myself busy, meditation and having a routine but that didn't work as well. One doctor said it is not anxiety it is hyperactivity. Has anybody faced similar problems? How did you overcome it?

Thanks for your precious time reading the post.
I'm surprised no mention of Amazon / AWS.

> there remains a huge opportunity long squandered by Google: to be the enterprise platform that competes with Microsoft’s integrated offering by effectively tying together best-of-breed independent SaaS offerings into a cohesive whole.

I understand what he is saying, but AWS is already there. Azure may be on the rise but no platform comes close to AWS in the SaaS space as of now.

Amazon have a history of physical products, from the ill-fated fire phone to all of their Alexa products, kindles, and fire stick. They own a significant gaming division which recently launched the MMORPG New Worlds.

It seems the only thing they currently lack is their own VR headset. But they have their hooks in enterprise already, a massive computing infrastructure, experience in almost every related tech and an army of independent devs familiar with their offerings.
I enjoyed the article.
I do disagree with the belief that VR will succeed before AR, and that for that reason Apple is at a disadvantage. From what I see colleagues who work in this space doing, I think AR is going to be more impactful in business and industrial settings.

As for the metaverse being the next stage of the internet, I certainly hope that is the case, and that it is based upon open protocols. Does anyone have pointers to articles about the open metaverse? I'd like to get up to speed.
The Internet is not the metaverse. The Internet is primarily a distribution system for static documents, with extensions for interactive document exchange (most websites), and support for other media - music, video, etc.

Key point - the other media are not interactive. You can select your experience, but you can't change it. This is because of content ownership traditions, not because of the technology.

In other words, the Internet is a kind of automated bureaucracy. It has ads and clicky clicky things that pop up, but when you're buying a flight or shopping from a catalog or writing emails you're still doing something that would have involved paper or possibly people, but on a screen. Usually with lots of text. Which you're either reading or writing.

The transaction friction has been lowered, and transactions that used to be local are now global (and sometimes vice versa). But the type of transaction hasn't changed. You're still selecting, ordering, buying, selling, communicating.

This OP's vision of the Metaverse seems to be one where you start from this, but you're forced to follow the documents and become part of the bureaucracy.

Does it reduce friction? No, it increases it. Does it change the nature of the transactions? Not particularly. The idea is still to do the same things, but somehow the VR version is "better."

Well - more pixel area might certainly help in some situations. But balancing that against the permanent impression that you have become an animated emoji trapped forever in a corporate work space is - I think - going to be a very tough sell.

Second Life turned into an absolute shit show, with virtual porn, virtual gambling, and virtual rent seeking everywhere, because the fundamental truth is that this is what interests a lot of the population.

I can see VR/AR following a similar trajectory. That's far more likely to be the killer app for it than the bizarre idea that it's somehow better than Zoom for meetings - which no one really wants to be in anyway.
I get emails from legitimate companies (including Wells Fargo, a major U.S. bank) meant for others, because they never validated the email address their customers gave them.

Email Address Validation is not "yep, that looks like an email address", it's "let's send a confirmation email and have them click on a link".

Please do NOT trust users when it comes to email addresses!
Even without windows, that's a good idea.
Haha, yeah. I wanted to turn my flour, milk, and baking powder into pancakes, but it’s surprisingly nightmarish to get the two floating point numbers I need in order to get the ratios right

The headline is a bit misleading - it gives the impression that it is talking about running Linux on bare machine, rather than virtualised on macOS using QEMU / UTM. The GPU acceleration mentioned is also quite limited. UTM themselves point out that - "UTM does not currently support GPU emulation/virtualization and therefore lacks support for 3D acceleration (e.g. OpenGL and DirectX). You may be able to run older games with software rendering options, but nothing with hardware acceleration." (1)

It sucks that even running Linux virtualised on macOS doesn't give it full access to the hardware on an M1. Even a paid app like Parallel's Desktop ($80+) virtualising software comes with the warning - If you have some graphics performance issues, or applications complaining about insufficient resources, changing video memory value can help but it can also make the situation even worse. - because of the Unified Memory Architecture of the M1 machines that utilise the same pool of memory for both RAM and graphics. And also because such virtualising software don't have direct access to the graphics processing unit (GPU) or the memory on M1 systems, and allow GPU access only indirectly through Metal / OpenGL / macOS API.

Nice, thanks for pointing this out. It's fucking annoying that I'll have to figure out how to install the Windows Store on my computer to get an app that can receive text messages, something that you know, should be available through a pipe/file/tty or some dead simple interface since it's not exactly rocket science to receive 160 characters of text.

But thank you none the less.

Alternative opinion: The design of the site is a welcome breath of fresh air. Not every site needs gobs of whitespace, neutral colors and advertisements.
You won't succeed on any advanced test, with or without reference materials, if you haven't mastered the underlying basics. There would be too much to look up. You can't simplify fractions in a reasonable time if you need to look up everything in a multiplication table, for example, and it's true for everything that builds on that. It's the same for any topic: there comes a point where you can't succeed on Google alone.
Nothing. This is a canard, though, because the fundamental nature of blockchain technology allows a potential buyer (or anyone, really) to verify the provenance of an NFT. It's then up to the buyer to verify that the NFT originated in a wallet or account associated directly with the artist.

As a buyer, as always, it's your job to verify that you're not buying a counterfeit. As a seller, as always, the value of the NFT you hold is subject to its verifiable provenance.
I think schools would say that distance learning during school hours falls is reasonable.

Anyone know if you sign into your kids school account on a personal chromebook if that is monitored? This is only for gmail, meet etc.. I imagine the search queries are logged if they use the school account. The login account for the chromebook itself is not a school one.
How is someone's Twitter comment evidence for a rant against journalists? Do you see such a problem in the OP?

Watching the video that this article links to, a couple of the requirements are, among other things:

* To show the proctor all four walls of the room, and underneath the desk,

* To take out any earbuds you may have.

These requirements alone would probably mean your cheating solution wouldn't work.

(I hate that I have to say that because I do not want to advocate for ProctorU here, but in this case these requirements would probably do what they were intended to do.)

I know that 95% of the time I see a Gish gallop of identity politics, it's not an argument to engage in at all because even when you do, you're called racist yourself unless you subserviently agree with every aspect of the argument. The identity politics argument is often a tempting one because it allows people to act righteously indignant and feel powerful.

Case in point, here's someone saying, 'How can you even handwave away systemic racism?' in reply to a comment agreeing that bias exists but is not deliberate: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29164295

Also, the identity politics argument seems to hinder a simple, moral argument against surveillance software as a violation of privacy. The logical implication of the IP argument is that this surveillance software would be okay to use if we manage to work out all the kinks.

it's up to the nft originator to assign ownership in just one jurisdiction. if they create and sell multiple nfts in different venues, but for the same item, then i imagine that would damage their reputation and the value of their prior and future items. the chain itself does not assign ownership independent of the nft originator.
with art i think nfts do function very much like certificates of provenance. game items are different in that the community of players, or the company hosting/developing, indicates the proper database source (chain).
As I mentioned elsewhere, quality of a recipe can't be plotted on a line. It's at least a 2D space. The wrong mix of ingredients can be bad, but the instructions can also not be repeatable. And repeatability might even have dimensions of its own. Some ingredients age better than others, for instance, and some measuring systems are more consistent. Baking powder and spices are examples of the former, and brown sugar for the latter, or possibly both.
> Docker is not the only example, tools like fiddler or wireshark or ghidra could cause problems. But heaven forbid that a gamer on hackernews be a tech enthusiast, right?

No, heaven forbid they want to tinker then complain but don't want to spend 5 minutes to file a bug report or follow the hacker way of actually figuring the issue out and proposing a fix.
Wow, neat. TIL
If the entire MO of this is to be “uncensorable,” and “undeplatformable”, I don’t think there will be too many ordinary dog photos. Clearly this will be a place for fringe elements who otherwise are getting kicked off bigger platforms, and somehow don’t want to use the existing alt platforms.
Degrees from this hopeless concept will be worth about the same as degrees from the now "up in smoke" University of Phoenix - - - or these code startups. Feel sorry for students who get sucked into this.Get your basic hrs at a community college if you cannot get into the real UT and cap up to UT, many have done it, get a "real" degree in comp. sci. UT is ranked like 7th or 8th nationally and my son completed comp. sci. BS in 3 years at UT, starting salary at exactly what the video clip states . . .
Maybe--time will tell. We run revisit estimates with FlightRadar so I can say that there's a good amount of deviation in routes generally, but I also think narrow corridors are the mechanisms that makes rapid revisit even more powerful. When you can achieve minute-level temporal resolution for heavily populated areas using smartphones (to start), the cost is more or less negligible compared to satellite imaging.

I know of one market-maker HQ'd in Manhattan that currently pays $16 million/year for two satellite images per day of the oil storage tanks in Cushing, OK. Analysts determine tank volume by looking at the shadows cast by the floating lids on the tanks and use that data to set oil futures prices. There are roughly 1,500 flights over the same area every day. We're very much a hypothesis-become-startup at the moment but I'm optimistic!
Make that 99.9%. There were two unscheduled multi-hour outages (each time a Friday afternoon) during day time of Comcast's service in the South Bay in as many years. Perfectly acceptable for a leisure offer. Those working from home these days who cannot rush into the office or take some time off, I suppose have a 2nd connection (e.g. 4G/5G).
It’s not unusual though. Most newspapers and magazines make punny headlines and captions to their graphics. Have you read the Economist? Their puns are exquisite and only add to the reading experience IMHO
Why would you use a btree for them? Wouldn’t a hash index be ideal?
What's the legality of all this? I assume refusing to install ProctorU will fail your exam, so you don't really have a choice, when the process presents you with all kinds of check boxes and consent forms it's mostly doing the motions of informed consent, but at no step do you have a real choice. Surely no sane person would allow this blatant invasion of privacy willingly, this is practically duress.
> Microsoft's UI story is a non-starter until they get back to the point that a user can:

Why do you care about this stuff? I don't understand. Surely most developers can build a simple app with a few buttons easily in whichever framework they're using. This stuff doesn't really matter for I'd dare to say 90% of developers. What matters is how hard it is to build and maintain complicated stuff. And there WPF blew WinForms (and VB6) out of the water.

Not sure why you think how difficult it is to put a couple buttons on a page and make them do something would have any effect on the success of a UI framework. That's literally not even a consideration when we make decisions on what to use for a project.

If WPF ran on other platforms, we would use it for everything. We use Avalonia instead, and it's pretty great.

But there are 2 basic types of multiplatform UI frameworks - the ones that wrap native controls and look like most other apps on the platform, and the ones that do their own rendering and look the same on every platform. Avalonia is in the second group, so if the former is a hard requirement then it is not a good choice.
You know what scammers love even more: credit cards. If you ever dealt with selling things world wide you would know how bad it is from merchant perspective. There is also precious little you can do about it with official Visa advice being "try to verify if your customer is legit by contacting them using info they provided when submitting the order". That the scammer is going to provide their own email is something they haven't considered but will gladly issue a chargeback with additional fees on to.

Shoot, some syntaxes haven't even been around long enough to have a for-loop documentation page hit the front page of a google search of "{language} for loop". As an agency developer I've got like 6+ languages/markup syntax knowledge required of me any given year, they just keep making new ones and I have to keep learning them.

My current requirements, just this month, are:

* Python
* PHP
* Javascript
* React and Vue
* TypeScript (but not in every JS project!)
* Blade templating
* Liquid templating
* Whatever Algolia uses for it's inline templating
* Bash
* C# (games!)

And if you want you could throw in arbitrary configuration syntaxes for all the infrastructure as code insanity that comes with it all, some of those have loops.

There was a push with the Common Data Set (https://commondataset.org/) to help increase transparency to potential students, but it runs into a Prisoner's Dilemma, with poor outcome organizations opting not to participate.

The Department of Education should have a vested interest specifically in the way that you mention, and they did set up a site that communicates historical outcomes of majors at a per school level at https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/, but it gets little visibility in the college marketing funnel that is filled with for profit enterprises like US News and Niche-- plus the marketing (admissions and/or athletics) departments of colleges themselves.
