I read it somewhere - sorry can't pull up a source right now, but it made sense to me. Purely speculation at this point of course, but perhaps some solid data will come in.
> security

Just a note that linux is ridiculously unsecure in the default daily user mode. You have no sandboxing, everything runs as the same user with the same privileges, etc. Just a rogue app writing a single line of code (with no permission problem at all) to bashrc can basically do whatever it wants on your computer, including screensharing, key logging, encrypting your whole home folder, sending ssh folders to somewhere. The only thing it can’t do is install a goddamn video driver (as per the relevant xkcd comic) — but with keylogging it will see the sudo password sooner or later.

Fortunately, Fedora does have SELinux, which makes it a bit better but a proper sandboxing solution is way overdue (firejail and flatpak are not necessary the best solution, it should be automatic). Like, at least copy what android does on the exact same OS.
The hype persist because there is money for the hype.

Basically the VC are all in, and now its time to "talk the book". Note that the VC raised a lot of money and need to find new tech to deploy.

I assume that if there was a web3 it would be much more grassroot efforts.
I do not know about cloudflare's internals, but I believe the 6 connections limit is purely a browser thing. So it should be able to do as many connections as it's able to handle.
Since you’re unsurprisingly taking a beating here in HN, let me reframe your general mood.

The planet is and will be fine, it’s our way of living and society that will go, and that will not happen in your lifetime. So there’s no need for you to suffer with that gloom.

Another even more practical reason: it’s unproductive.

Most of that anxiety is offloaded from those in true power and resold by “the media”. It’s obviously a serious problem but they are feeding you mostly bullshit in order to meet their revenue targets or agendas.

Don’t be a victim of them before being a victim of climate change.
Great advice. One issue with testing: even once you have a copy of the production DB, it's not actually a live production DB in that it's not being modified and used continuously in the same way. This can hide issues with your change.

My point is, testing on a copy is necessary, but you must combine it with thinking as carefully and thoroughly as you can about the potential side-effects, which in turn depends on your understanding of the application architecture. Some of those side-effects you can test for, others are not so obvious unless you can better simulate the production environment with noisy users who will complain when things go wrong. One strategy is to find people internally who are good at being real life simulators of noisy users who bump into edge cases.
Keep in mind the covid-19 has a myocarditis rate of 1 in 25000 according to this same study. 4x higher than with the second dose of an mRNA vaccine. On the basis of that alone, you're better off taking your chances on the vaccine - and that's not counting all the other risks that come with a covid infection - including death.
Or you avoid the topic, keep your fingers crossed that they won't get sick, and can at least have a normal conversation about the weather without hating each other.
Unused RAM is useless though. The OS better cache some useful stuff there and evict when something else needs that.

If you are low on RAM and on Linux I really recommend getting zram, which will compress memory pages making swapping less needed.
DNA integration won't happen with COVID though, it's not a retrovirus so it stays as RNA. I dunno what coexisting looks like for such viruses - maybe like the common cold.
The UK has a booming private healthcare market in general because the NHS is leakier than the Titanic when it comes to comprehensive healthcare.
Are carbon offsets merely ‘greenwashing’
Are carbon offsets merely ‘greenwashing’, or are they part of the solution?
What do you mean with "real coins". Do you mean collector or proof coins? If yes wouldn't the additional premium for those coins be lost if you use them for barter. Wouldn't make junk silver coins make more sense as they have the lowest premium?
Worth noting that the original post mentioned the Bloomberg story and if you click through to the blog post related to that, the post’s author found Bloomberg’s focus on Supermicro irresponsible even though the general issue is a problem.

I myself don’t have much of an opinion on this
Python f-strings don't work like that. The expression is evaluated when the string constant is defined, not when it's used, so your scenario is "code execution leads to code execution".

>>> def server(userdata):
... print("Your data:", userdata)
...
>>> value = f"Printing... {print('Eval!')}"
Eval!
>>> server(value)
Your data: Printing... None
Enable zram. It does make a huge difference on lower RAM devices (I have 8G in my laptop)
Yeah, I think I’m experiencing the same thing :/… I just hope it goes away
> The Moderna booster is only 50ug RNA.

Could someone take this Moderna 50ug dose as their 1st/2nd shot?
They're complementary. Parker Solar Probe (PSP) carries a smaller, less capable payload than Solar Orbiter (SO) but it goes closer to the Sun, allowing for direct sampling of the corona. PSP cannot carry cameras for observing the Sun because of how close it gets (heat shield reasons), but SO can. This allows SO to observe the Sun's corona on a large scale, while PSP can validate those measurements with local sample collection.
This must have been inspired by David Graeber's "Bullshit Jobs".
Yes. According to this same study covid-19 has a 4x higher incidence of myocarditis than the "worst" of the mRNA vaccines. So the smart bet is still get the vaccine. That's not even accounting for all the other effects of a covid illness, including death.
Work well as long as you don't care about externalities such as polution, congestion; poisoning, maiming and killing consumers and employees
About the third point, interesting that it's exactly the opposite.

If I get used to being physically active, the next day that I am NOT physically active I feel terrible.

On the other hand, if I have been lazy for a period, then one day I do a very brief exercise, even a 10-min moderate run, makes me feel excellent. However when I start doing those runs everyday, I don't feel that same good feeling.

I ain't expecting anything. I think I've explained quite clearly that it strikes me as an insensitive example (from the way it affected me personally) where one could easily find others which are not. I would hope that people appreciate that, even if they won't honour it (I could even say "even if they disagree with it", but you can't really disagree with feelings).

Whether someone cares for that or not is, just the same, in their court.

This entire discussion seems to have turned into whether I should be even expressing what someone saying made me feel. If that's truly useless, I am totally socially inept (I am probably not far off), so that's a useful learning too.
> Performance and memory usage are never modelled in the type system

There's no need tho? If you have types they do the same thing but with different performance guarantees, you can use an interface + sub classes to create your own performance aware types. Same with memory.

> Cracking down on side effects means that in some languages you need to change function signatures to add a log statement

That's an implementation shortcoming. Java isn't forcing you to do this.

> Checked exceptions in Java are an example of how fine-grained tracking of effects helps you paint yourself in a corner where there is rampant cheating out of necessity.

At some level, you have to limit your set or exceptions or error codes. Exceptions from arbitrary code that you otherwise won't be catchable. I think return status/error is much better - that forces all methods in the call stack to think more about the errors that underlying methods with throw and what they will bubble up/handle. It's more work tho.
There's a lot of pessimism and cynicism in the world these days. I think movies make that clear. There are so many movies about dystopian futures where everything is hopeless and everything is inevitably going to shit. The general mood is very different from what you saw in movies from the 1980s.

Personally, I think that any action we can take towards making things better will pay off. Action is better than inaction. There will be negative consequences to climate change, but acting sooner could save millions, even hundreds of millions of lives, so don't give up now. We're just finally starting to see real adoption of electric cars and grid-scale batteries, those industries are set to boom. The solution is at our doorstep, now is not the time to just go "ah, fuck it, why bother?".
Yeah, ReSpeaker looks like they have the best hardware for this. But the issue was, that they only sell one case, for their old array, which is barely available any more (neither case, nor array.

But! Now they sell the new array as USB array in a proper case! That’s not perfect as I’ll have 2 devices instead of one to place/hide, but it’s still a lot better than last time I checked their site.

Thank you, now I have plans for 2022 :)

Hah, and of course there is only one left in stock :/

edit: And I found a company in Germany that not only resells them for almost the same price, they even have a lot of stock.
Of course it makes sense to treat reporting that claims a thing and provides evidence of the thing differently from reporting that claims something less likely without providing any evidence.
Consider it a form of entertainment if you can stomach the more morbid aspects of it.
The reason there are many unattractive alternatives that are underused is the fact that they are unattractive. Nothing has probably changed in years in the traditional server renting space.
Wayland doesn’t prevent you from doing that. It just prevents you from doing that without privilege, because let’s be honest, who thought it was a good idea to let any random program snoop every single keypress?!
> I received my 1st Pfizer vaccine in June and around 3 weeks after the vaccine I started experiencing frequent irregular heartbeats. Sometimes it was every day, then sometimes once or twice a week. I still experience ectopic heartbeat now (although much less frequently) as a result of the vaccine 6 months later.

Way before Covid I had a panic attack which led me to believe that my heart was not working properly. I got everything checked and it was all good but in the following months I regularly noticed irregularities which have since subsided. I'm almost sure that this was not due to any actual change but the main reason was that I was simply observing my heartbeat much more closely, feeling my heart racing etc. which was in turn actually making my heartbeat more irregular.

Of course your problem might be more physiological but I just want to point out that mind and body are closely connected and it's very difficult to observe such an effect and pinpoint it to a certain event (for example the vaccination).
I had to have that convo with my parents.

"When I see something like 'Can I call you?', it implies to me that there's something really important you need to tell me, that's too important to send over text. I know you don't mean it that way, but it's very scary to me in the absence of more information. Can you please include a reason why you'd like to talk next time you text?"

Once my folks understood that they were putting across the subtext of a death in the family, they started adding why they wanted to call!
Ah okay thats good news. Is it worth upgrading to HTTP2 on the server side for cloudflare if they are the only consumers of my VPS? They already enable HTTP/3 for clients but I'm wondering if I'm somehow bottlenecking them by not matching my server with HTTP/2 or HTTP/3.
Nothing edgy about what I said. Just injecting some realism. Slavery was abolished less than 200 years ago. Jim Crow was abolished less than 100 years ago. This kind of bullshit about "society has reasons" cannot ever play in black communities because they have living memory of these historical experiences.
We moved a lot of things from "that one server that's setup just-so by hand" to automated and repeatable setups. If we had more/ cheaper servers before, we'd likely get there earlier.

Covid-19 will get to 25% of the population. It’s nearly there in many countries. The UK had 11 million confirmed cases for a 66 million population. Germany is comparatively good with 6 million confirmed on an 80 million population. Both is severely undercounting, as it doesn’t include asymptomatic cases and people that did not get tested.

Covid will sooner or later infect everyone, likely even people that are vaccinated. The entire goal of the vaccination campaign is to slow and manage the spread and to reduce the severity of the infection.
Over what time period? It seems pretty clear that covid is not going anywhere. Eventually almost everyone will get it. The only real question is do you want to be vaccinated when that happens to you. The answer is a no- brainer no matter how you look at the data. Which is why I'm surprised and saddened by how many people can't see that for one reason or another. As a programmer who lives and breathes logic, so often I find myself unable to relate to or understand how many people live their lives largely devoid of good logical reasoning. So much emotion and tribalism.

Family has died or almost died from this disease, and it was entirely preventable. Whenever you depart from the basis of reality, by being wrong about some aspect of it, there is always a price to be paid. At times I have paid this price and I really value careful and rational challenging of all my beliefs.
I think now, almost everybody knows someone with your problem.
Really sorry to heard, I hope you will recover!

No vaccine should damaged an healthy person, and nobody should be forced to a treatment (Norimberga anyone?). We need more studies and data like this.

Why governments don't push for studies? I remember doctors and media denying AstraZeneca Blood cloths for months, before they added to the official adverse reaction list, finally.
1 in 10000 isn't much less than 1 in 25000.

Also, with the booster regime being implemented, you're going to regularly be taking that risk, whereas people rarely (according to Peter McCullough "never") get reinfected with Covid.

People also die from the vaccine. There are 18000 reported deaths from the vaccine in VAERs.

Just recently a 12 year old schoolgirl in Cuxhaven, Germany died from the vaccine.
Undeniable ratio of benefit albeit one that doesn’t necessarily bode well for the six monthly booster subscription necessary in absence of airborne transmission interrupting NPIs.
I agree and disagree.

When you are familiar or at lease somewhat familiar with a code base printf + careful thought is King. It also has the added benefit of forcing your to think through related edge cases you are missing or will miss if you fix the bug in a certain way.

But when you are working on a massive codebase with significant state being maintained, a debugger will go a looong way.
It doesn't seem to work as I expected - I run xxh user@myhost +s zsh. I just get a blank zsh prompt without any of my dotfiles or anything. Is it supposed to be configured somehow beyond this?
QEMU Version 6.2.0 Released
I’d find a hacker news audio channel a blast. I also attended hacker news meetups in Chicago when those were a thing.
Actually Boeing did design a newer twin-engine narrowbody plane - the 757, which launched in 1982. But (for reasons I'm not entirely sure of) it was never as successful as the 737. As Wikipedia says, already in the planning phase "the shorter 757-100 did not receive any orders and was dropped; 737s later fulfilled its envisioned role" - I guess the 757 was more expensive to operate, and airlines already operating the 737 didn't want a mixed fleet? So after the airline industry downturn caused by 9/11, Boeing decided to discontinue the 757 and go on with the 737. But I wouldn't put the blame only on Boeing, its customers had the choice and chose the cheaper 737...
Not trying to take away anything from the amazing Asahi Linux project, but as far as I know it doesn’t include the embedded GPU as of yet — so pretty close may unfortunately be a little bit further away still.
The latter is obligatory. HTTP/3 is a way of spelling the HTTP protocol over QUIC, and QUIC is implicitly doing TLS 1.3 (or later) cryptography.

So the fairer comparison might be TLS 1.3 under all three, but if you need to upgrade why not upgrade the whole HTTP stack?
That's also not counting all the other risks that come with vaccination - including death.

Also that individuals have variable probability of exposure to and infection with the virus, which may be very low, while vaccination carries a 100% 'probability'.

Also that one may reasonably expect to commit to many vaccinations. Australia, where I am, has already financially committed to more than 9 per capita - if they're buying them, I expect they expect to be using them. That's a lot of rolls of the dice.

Where do you get that idea? I mean, you literally are commenting on a study run by people involved in a government decision-making process.
Parallel requests are nice, but is there a standard way to request larger files sequentially (explicitly wanting nicely pipelined head-of-line-blocking delivery)? Think streaming media, where you want chunks to arrive one after the other, without the second chunk hogging bandwidth while the first one is still downloading too.
Obviously the sample sizes are too small to be concluding much in this direction but for fun, it looks like the HTTP/3 numbers have more outliers than the HTTP/2 numbers. Is that to be expected due to the nature of the new protocol or the experiment?
there is plenty of promising tech around. VC has lost all touch with aiming to add real value (if they ever had it)
QUIC needs a kernel implementation. At least in Linux, TCP/IP does a lot of its processing in soft interrupt handlers which is far cheaper and more responsive to pre-empt compared to UDP packet delivery and wakeup to an application thread.

You don't want your transport acknowledgement packets to get delayed/lost because of app thread scheduling.
One of the exploits in log4jv1 is known about and acts like that. How many aren't known about but have cropped up in the last 6 years and quietly been exploited.
I don't think so, but I don't have specifics. There's some sources that a typical Tesla battery pack might have about 10-12 or so kg of lithium. LFP is a different chemistry, so it might have a different proportion of lithium but it's probably not hugely different. Lithium isn't particularly expensive (though it might become expensive in the future if demand goes up and production does not).

I was excited to try it relatively early on in its popularness spike. I spent I think 3 evenings walking around listening to multiple channels or whatever they're called. Nearly every one seemed to be a snakeoil sales pitch and I just got sickened by it. Deleted it after a week and never looked back.

This seems unlikely, given the relative rarity of these events.

Every vaccine ever created can have adverse effects on healthy people.

Your memory is wrong.
"We found increased risks of myocarditis associated with the first dose of ChAdOx1 and BNT162b2 vaccines and the first and second doses of the mRNA-1273 vaccine over the 1–28 days postvaccination period, and after a SARS-CoV-2 positive test."

So the Pfizer gave me increased risk of heart inflammation. Thank you very much.
And failing to move your car for street sweepers is an interruption of government activities, and therefore equivalent to Jan. 6th too, right?

The Jan 6th—let’s call them participants—were there to overturn the results of the election. That is an important detail you seem to be trying to “both sides!” your way out of.
It's always a bit disappointing when you have one of these pages and it's just "the designers left a footprint to fit the part" and no bodging required.

HN feature: A “forum” for topic threads that repeat
We often see certain topics that come around a lot. This week it seems to be variations on "paying open source developers".

Perhaps these can be marked as "forums" or "themes" and collected into a single post.

It is frustrating to watch the same idea posted every day, only to get swept away beyond post 500 or so. At best what we have now is that someone will add a comment that points to a prior post.

A simple (and therefore both controversial and wrong) solution would be to have a "link-to" button that forms a linked list (shades of lisp, eh Paul?).
This argument would benefit from quantitavie evidence showing impact on end2end application performance or server load.
I had an EKG done like a month ago for this reason. Turns out irregular heartbeats are a very normal thing in the amount I was experiencing them. In addition, I spent a lot of time indoors, sitting or lying on a couch, stressing about my health and the world, thus overreacting to normal changes in heart rhythm due to the sympathetic and parasympathetic system handing off to each other.

I've been fully vaccinated since August.

According to their docs Cloudflare won’t connect to your origin servers with HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 anyway: https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200168076-U...

In general connections between CDNs/reverse proxies and origin servers don’t get much benefit from HTTP/2 or HTTP/3. CDNs don’t generally care about connection establishment speed or multiplexing to the origin (the main benefits of newer HTTP versions), since they can just create and maintain N long-lived connections if they want to be able to send N concurrent requests. They generally only bother with HTTP/2 to the origin if they need to support gRPC, which has some unusual connection semantics.
