I used Google Authenticator some years ago on a phone that broke. At the time I was unable to restore it to my new phone. The proposed solution used to be to authenticate multiple devices (phones with Authenticator, Yubikeys) but to this day many Services only allow You to link a single second factor to your Account, meaning that upon loosing that factor you’re required to contact support to restore access to your Account. Is there any open source solution that generates a second factor in software and can be easily cloned/restored to multiple devices ? Nobody buys a single set of keys for their front door or car. I know why yubikeys don’t offer „spares“ but usecases can differ are there any yubikey protocol compatible competitors that offer spare keys ?
In this example, Sweden had no lockdown.

This is basically ad hominem. Dispute the numbers and the argument not the source.

We can all point out how almost all other news stories somehow strongly skew towards clickbait and fear mongering and also seem to not be challenging government policy. I'm not sure why, let's not go into that.

Does that matter in the debate?
"raise refund prices too much and fewer people will litter" - what drawbacks would that have?
When transferring-out domains from Namecheap to Porkbun, I was horrified to learn that the email address used for domain registrations wasn't what I expected.

Somehow the registrant email address was set to their whois proxy address, which meant I could not receive my transfer-out EPP code.

I had to contact their support who reset it back to what I had set during purchase and I could receive the EPP code.
It comes down, to me, to the primary goal of the userbase. Primary goal of Kodi/XBMC/Plex/Emby users is generally piracy. Not true for WMP.

I found putting a name to anxiety helped a great deal. I spent most of my childhood not really sure why some situations filled me with crippling fear - and felt like a failure because of it. As an adult I've realised it's a form of anxiety - and also that anxiety definitely runs in my mother's family.

I think my teenage years would have been easier if my family had been willing to talk about our anxiety rather than just pretend it didn't exist.

There is of course a danger that the diagnosis becomes an excuse - which is
a particular problem with something like social anxiety where (at least in my experience) the only path to improvement is to face your fear and do whatever you're anxious about.
I don't appreciate your passive aggression. I don't think women are clueless or have no agency but I am aware that young people often make mistakes that they later regret. It's a normal part of growing up but posting your nudes online is a particularly difficult one since it's hard to take back. There are many potential ramifications to your social life, your professional life, and your psychic life.

I don't think that posting your nudes online for money is a sustainable way to live, so I think the people who do it will ultimately feel negative about it in the end.
One of Lottie’s most useful feature for me has been its support for transparency.
That won't be necessary anymore.

The fact that China, which is an absolute leader in nuclear power, wasn't able to scale up this energy source as fast as wind and (soon) solar (in terms of GWh delivered) and the planned 150 reactors will barely catch up with renewables speaks volumes.

I mean, it's a safe and environmentally friendly technology, but it just can't be built fast enough.
I remember watching one of his older videos where he zoomed in on a package as he was trying to open it. I couldn't help but notice the very bad tremor in his hands. Made me wonder if the toxins in old MREs he's been eating have somehow contributed to that. Nonetheless, a very interesting channel for sure.
> this is almost becoming the accepted narrative in the UK

"Accepted narrative" != "Anything resembling the truth".

> restrictions because SAGE and the modelling has been discredited. They are screaming for more restrictions and escalating to talk about millions of cases per day, and our politicians are (rightly, in my opinion) putting them back in their boxes.

This narrative of "policians vs. scientists" is gaining traction here and I hate it. It's unhelpful and incorrect. It's reductive, but who would you rather have making decisions about our country in a pandemic? Chris Whitty, or Boris Johnson? I know who I'd pick.

> I am hoping it will be the final nail in the coffin for credibility of the modellers.

Then what? Who do we put our faith in? Politicians with no scientific background who make decisions based on political convienience?

A key feature of Kodi for me is that it syncs the TV frame rate to the video that is playing. I don't know any other players on Linux that do that.
It's a bit different when you decades long dynamics of whether you can see a counselor on the NHS, vs when you can literally see drug use, alcholism, domestic abuse numbers rise in the last 2 years.

That's concrete numbers. Some theoretical "conservatives don't support mental health" is more of a political point.

From my perspective the UK has had an insane rise in self diagnosed mental illness, and its not the lack of funding that's the issue, it's the supply side. If every single person wants to see a counsellor about their mental issues (which basically everyone has), you don't have enough professionals (or money) to deal with it.
The problem with these systems is limited smart TV support. Unfortunately none of them support Firefox OS any more. Plex used to, but had some row with Panasonic and removed it from the store. Now I just use the DLNA browser in my TV to find the video file I want to watch on my main PC.

The majority of the Russian population lives in Europe. It's a bit like saying that Denmark isn't really in Europe because most of its land area are actually Greenland. Yet nobody does that!

And the OP was not only excluding Russia from Europe in their post, but also Belarus which is unambiguously in Europe. It's a former part of the eastern block which is still under Moscow's influence so in must not be “Europe” because this word has been preempted by the American block.
Sadly, these singular wines produced in Finland are not available for the mass market - they are for the nuclear power plant employees and partners only. Other than that, the water from the secondary cooling circuit that is used for the vineyard is perfectly safe. The secondary circuit cools the primary circuit, which has itself low activity, and there is really no way the radition could ever escape to the secondary circuit.

No, according to the post I shared, you can do more than that:

> You can also recolor any part of a widget however you like

And they show an example of a gradient background and stuff like that.

And I mean, for most people, a theme is just coloring things how they like and setting the font and visual things. While full-blown stylesheets are very cool, and I think still “allowed,” you can’t really officially support that in a compatible way. You have to set an API so that everything can be consistent.

For example, it can currently be a huge pain to change the accent color on PopOS away from orange because you can’t just set a variable somewhere. It seems like the new system will improve that.

Either way, leaps and bounds ahead of macOS

In my country it is if the infection is less than 6 month ago. And count as a first vaccination, so you can only take half a moderna after a prior infection.
Yeah, good idea. And while you're at it, since 50% of severe cases worldwide are obese people, let's deny care to those as well. And for diabetes too, I mean it's their own fault right? /sarcasm
I don’t understand why, though. I’ve noticed some really ugly compression in brand new Amazon and Netflix original shows, which should have the same benefit of being produced “in-house”

This makes me wonder if military operations also take into account satellite positions when timing operations. Theoretically, having access to a satellite live feed and good processing software, one could potentially detect stealth bombers visually, probably even at night thanks to widespread light pollution (the plane would appear as a dark spot).

I love the idea about compiler checking for unused variables in production, and that it's strict and not a warning that can be ignored merrily merrily, gently down the stream! :)

We found a few cases in TigerBeetle where some nasty bugs would have been detected and prevented by this. Some of these were at the entry point to a function, where the function failed to check all the pre-conditions and was ignoring some of the API interface, and others were where we were calculating some of the derived buffers we would need, but then never use them, using the original buffer incorrectly instead.
that's what he is writing.

I think most importantly they are paid decently. The ambitious career developer on coke or medication became more common recently, but is still an outlier and not the type to start worker rebellions either.

Smaller developers work in very cooperative endeavours. While some form of work councils don't need to be antagonistic to management, there often is simply no need of something like this in smaller studios.

Game development is an extremely high risk endeavour in any case. A large developer like Ubisoft can dampen that risk a bit, but insecurity remains. This is a large driver while they will use established formulas much more often than smaller indie devs. A union does make sense in some industries, but tariffs would probably lead to worse conditions and leave the individual dev with less choice. Currently many employers do quite a lot to accommodate devs.
Yes, what are doing the devs? They should spend more time working for my own needs on their free time for their free software! /s
I've talked to entrepreneurs about this over the years and even met a professor whose entire field of study (at that time) was why Europe/rest of world doesn't produce tech firms at the same rate as the USA. He had two explanations that seemed plausible:

1. The USA has a culture of granting equity to early employees. Equity grants are highly motivating. Such grants are expected and standardized. Rest of the world doesn't. Even as late as 2006, the Zürich tax authorities were needing extra time and special procedures to figure out what to do about Googler's equity and stock grants because a US firm setting up shop there was the first time they'd had to deal with this kind of compensation structure.

Evidence: one of the very few tech firms to get big in Europe (ARM) did grant equity to early employees.

2. USA is a large internal free market and this is a big deal.

ARM is a descendent of a computer company called Acorn. In the 1980s the UK was able to hold its own against US tech companies, in fact, Acorn RISC machines were in some ways technologically quite superior to the the US machines. I remember when I was a little kid, the teachers were constantly asking me to fix the school computers in various ways. The Acorn machines simply did not break, ever (well, maybe there were occasional issues with the printers). They were also easy to use and had a consistent UI, some great apps. Feeling kinda nostalgic to remember them really. The IBM PCs were just broken dreck that the schools put up with because they got them cheap via some subsidized scheme and had some unique apps, and Macs were nowhere to be seen.

Within a decade that situation had reversed and the Acorns were being pulled out. Why? Well, Acorn hit financial problems, partly because they were unable to sell into Europe due to bureaucracy and paperwork, and partly due to a failed attempt to expand into the USA, stymied partly by the same problems. The US firms didn't face this problem because of the ease of interstate commerce, so they were able to get big enough quickly enough that they could invest more into their tech and also hire the big legal/logistics teams necessary to move into foreign markets. The complexity of this is a large fixed cost, but the size you can get to before you have to tackle it isn't.

So, Acorn died off and ARM ended up taking on the low end microcontroller market. ARM grew quietly, getting big enough in a boring market that it could sell and hire internationally, and then the smartphone revolution hit and it grew very quickly. Why was it able to grow so quickly? Partly because by then it'd reached a size where it could do things like ... hire chip design teams in the USA. The UK is a country with 1/5th the population, after all.
Interesting. I couldn't understand for a moment why this should be surprising. Then I remembered English has 2 words for "grzyby" - fungi and mushrooms. Is that it?
These service providers largely don't even offer licensed medical doctors but social workers. Licensed psychologists charge professional rates and avoid transactional experiences.
This is awesome! A few notes on the formats.

> magic must be { 0x72, 0x56 }

I usually use weird non-ASCII bytes in file signatures of binary formats. Many tools will then correctly identify the file as binary data.

> RGB 565

Not important, but I would remove that. In hardware, these 16-bit formats is a thing of the past. Nowdays, you only saving 2 bytes/color compared to RGBA8, for non-trivial complexity cost.

> with the color channels encoded in sRGB

I would add another field in the file header for color space. For RGBA8, sRGB is the only reasonable choice, for FP32 colors however, linear colorspace is very reasonable for some applications.

> VarUInt.. encoded as a variable-sized integer that uses 7 bit per byte for integer bits and the 7th bit to encode that there is ”more bits available”.

This means you need to parse the complete uint just to skip the field, less than ideal. MKV does it much better https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8794.html#name-variable-si... you only need the first byte to find out the length. Note all modern CPUs have bswap instruction or an equivalent to load integers from memory while flipping endianness to little endian.

> Arc Ellipse

Even circular arc segments are relatively hard to implement. The only reason it’s relatively hard and not insanely hard, formulae created for SVG and similar: https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/implnote.html#ArcConversionEndpoin... Pretty sure elliptical arc segments going to be insanely hard to implement and debug. Another thing, AFAIK no authoring software supports these splines, how people are supposed to get vector art with these things?
Many western countries you've had 10-20-30% of the population actually diagnosed with covid in the past. 60-70% vaccination rate.

That leaves only 10-20% of the population at risk of severe covid if vaccination and previous infection mean milder illness potentially.

Add to this that SA with 25% vaccination is seeing less hospitalisations.

Omicron in most western countries doesn't have many people left to infect. Those that do will see milder illness.

I don't see how this will threaten healthcare systems any more.
is that saying anything if microsoft is basically eternal? what, you think the company that makes excel and windows is gonna go out of business any time soon?
I have seen no real research into it. No real proof that it's a major issue. But (guess who) the mainstream media has been playing it up for a while, and it's always used as the final indisputable argument by people who support the lockdowns.
I typed out a lot about how I've never compared my nose or leg to an elephant's trunk, but it seemed beside the point. The general idea was it's interesting to think of how we identify things, and this comment reminded me of Is The Man Who Is Tall Happy?[0][1] and the idea of psychic continuity.

Last year I tried this driver (and Soundflower, and a bunch of other similar stuff) because I needed to transmit my system audio + microphone via Skype (online music classes thanks to COVID). I couldn't get it to work properly for my setup, where I wanted to listen just the system audio through my headphones but route system + microphone to Skype. I ended up buying Loopback [1], it's not cheap but it worked pretty well, it's pretty easy to use and enabled basically any kind of connection I wanted. I leave it here because it took me quite some time to find alternatives, so if anyone finds this driver doesn't cover their use cases maybe this other is helpful.

Wow, what a great article. One founder can be better than many. Sometimes people get in the way. Finding the right person can be as much work as the work itself.
The whole 'hospitals are overwhelmed' thing is getting old now. A few do get overwhelmed, but everything seems to work out and you don't hear any more about it.

So enough with the fear mongering, if you're not high risk, go get Covid and be done with it.

Oh, and we're not refusing to protect ourselves. Our bodies already do that, it's called an immune system and when I caught Covid all the little immune workers showed up and took care of business. You don't need the vaccine unless you're high risk.

And another thing, before vaccines the hospitals and their staff were doing just fine without the vaccine, yet some were fired later for not taking it. It's insanity and it's profit and politically driven hysteria.

Masks keep us from spitting on eachother. They help.
Do you remember which program that was? Afaik elementary does not have any official backup application or function so I wouldn't put the blame on them here.
They need to have a front-plate due to being classified as tractors. I would find it reasonable to introduce a new requirement for these vehicles (nb: not all tractors) to need a rear plate to make reporting of incidents easier.

That being said, I would find it likely that the local police would already be aware of these hooligans and where to find them.
In any history class about the history of Europe, you would have a hard time not talking about Russia…

Excluding Russia from Europe is a really recent trend actually, it appeared even after the fall of the iron curtain, during the late 90 s, early 2000s as an attempt to marginalize Russia.
Nice, now I get to read spam on HN too.
LETREC requires mutability in the presence of lexical scope. Otherwise it works fine in the way you describe it. Using lexical scope, IS-ODD and IS-EVEN would be bound in parallel and (LAMBDA (X) (NOT (IS-ODD X))) would close over IS-ODD before it is bound, so it would be undefined when applied inside of the outer LAMBDA.

Of course dynamic scoping will bite you earlier or later because of the upward and downward FUNARG problems. See my book (http://t3x.org/lfn/) for lots of entertaining details.

For systems programmers the answer to "which third-party strings lib" is probably "None, write your own that fits with the rest of the system". A ready-made lib will be a lot of work to fit in - consider choice of internal encoding, allocation, hashing, buffering, mutable operations, etc....

Assuming that you really want to use UTF-8 internally, which is probably a sensible choice, the reusable part of a string library is basically the UTF-8 encoded/decoder. A useful implementation of UTF-8 is about 100-200 lines, I could probably rewrite what I use in an hour or two without an internet connection. The rest of the work is integration stuff that doesn't make sense to put in a library IMO. The idea of a string library fits much better with garbage collected and scripting languages (which includes C++ with RAII mechanism, but consider that std::string and similar often cause bad performance).

Many programs, in particular non-graphical programs don't need any UTF-8 code at all - UTF-8 handling is basically memcpy().
Cool, thanks for elaborating.

The comment above was about heating in winter.

Do you propose to build so many nuclear plants that you can provide peak electricity including heating in cold winter months? Do you have numbers for that? (I imagine that'd be the most expensive solution ever, as nuclear plants are high in capital costs and you're basically proposing to have lots of nuclear plants that only run on very cold winter days.)

I guess what many nuclear proponents seem to forget is that you need flexibility no matter what source of electricity you have - because even if your plant runs 24/7 (which it doesn't), energy needs aren't constant.
