I'm normally a recursive descent-man, but I implemented parsec-style parsing in Java once, just because I was curious to see what the world looked like when it was on fire.

But yeah. Mistakes were made.
I don't have Epic or Twitch accounts, but Gog works excellently -- there are several alternative clients (e.g. lutris) that let you install Windows games into a proton prefix through GOG with a nice gui. Plenty of GOG games are actually linux-native -- and they "just work" quite well, amazingly including lib / .so constraints -- they have a standard script that does quite a lot to fix this. If you don't want a nice gui, there are a ton of CLI downloaders that "just work" and save you clicking buttons a lot.

GOG Galaxy for linux is "in progress" and has been for ~7 years. Alas despite being the most-requested item by far in their feature-request tracker, I think it's unlikely to happen soon. Galaxy itself works well inside a proton / wine environment, and will auto-update Windows games.

Gaming on linux is great!
Exactly. So many comments here are acting as if they're forced to use npm+react+tailwind+etc. but you're absolutely not. Web standards (querySelector, fetch, display:flex, ...) are so far along compared to a decade ago that you could use zero libraries/frameworks and be significantly more produtive than we were back then.

Web standards still have a long way to go, but it's comical to claim that things have gotten harder.

It is much easier than you think. There are well-defined standards and trained trades people and whole host of companies who make great products and provide after-sales services to do it. Every major financial services, telecom and high-precision manufacturing companies run their infra this way. It is definitely less niche than rolling your own encryption.

[Throwaway for privacy.]

I know this was hashed out on the other threads a bit, but can someone please explain to me why folks are so up in arms about this, compared to, say, studies that scrape user data without consent (something the IRB allows all the time by saying that no human subjects are involved)? Is it simply because there is no visibility into this practice (i.e., no email sent?) Scraping user data from public profiles, aggregating it into a model, and publishing a paper or whatever -- that seems demonstrably more invasive to individuals, storing and keeping their user data, than an email quoting a statute.

I agree that the deception was unnecessary, but that's it. It doesn't feel any wronger than that.

Especially because these researchers really were acting in "meta" good faith trying to probe the privacy ecosystem, I fear there may be a chilling effect. Consumers deserve privacy rights and privacy knowledge in the asymmetric surveillance economy we find ourselves in, IMO.

I'm open to being wrong.
That is a laughable characterization of the business decision Valve has made, and learning from history isn't worth much when the landscape has changed so much in the last five years. Have you actually tried to run games on Steam on Linux recently? Did you try it five years ago, and have an understanding of what it was like then?

Proton and Steam on Linux _are a deterrent_, and within the last couple of years, it can be said with confidence that the strategy is viable and worth continuing. This was never about selling consoles -- Valve makes their money from their cut on sales and microtransactions.

What is a "racialized" teacher?

From the sample test questions:

There is a bag of 25 marbles. 5 are yellow. What percentage of marbles are not yellow?

If I were "racialized", I would be insulted to hear it suggested that the requirement was being removed, because it made it unfairly difficult for my "race" to become a teacher.

I got one of the "Tom Harris" messages, sent to an e-mail address scraped from the Web site of a small California-based nonprofit organization.

I've gotten no response to my e-mail messages sent to the 3 researchers who have identified themselves, or the Princeton IRB. But I was able to find phone numbers for all 3 of the researchers in their c.v.'s posted online. The Principal Investigator has yet to return my calls, but the grad student took my call. He referred most of my questions to the principal investigator, but he did tell me that they sent e-mail to between 200K and 300K addresses scraped form a list of the "top" 1M Web sites.

> I always tell people of how my mother was smuggling Soviet rubles stitched into her coat when she flew to NYC to immigrate to America...

Typically people were smuggling foreign currency (US dollars) out of the Soviet Union rather than rubles. Rubles were of little use in America. But smuggling dollars was in violation of two soviet laws at one -- any operation with foreign currency was illegal (up to death penalty for currency "speculation" at scale); and transporting undeclared valuables across the border was illegal too. People in 1978 were literally risking ending up in a Siberian labor camp while trying to board an Aeroflot plane to Vienna (transit hub for immigration from the soviet union during iron curtain).
Render had some pretty bad outages (10+ hours) and couple shorter ones just couple months ago, so it's not perfect either.

What I mean is, the NFT is implemented on a blockchain and holds the hash of the jpeg, but the jpeg can be hosted on a regular non-blockchain filesharing network for free. If it disappears then the NFT holder can just post it again, also for free. You only pay blockchain fees when you transfer NFT ownership.

The jpeg could be on IPFS, bittorrent, freenet, whatever. Look it up by hash and verify the hash after getting it. If takedowns are a problem, use the more censorship-resistant options.

Adding my voice to say this is not a bad idea at all in practice. Before anyone trying to apply the same approach to other ecosystems, however, be aware that (frontend) JavaScript is kind of unique in this. In most languages you’d likely have at least one package somewhere in the dependency chain that is in binary form, and those tend to need a bit more vendoring mechanism to handle correctly, unless everyone in your team have exactly the same setup.

Is Russia even threatening anything back on that particular matter?

Besides, it's not "the West" who wants to cut Russia out, it's only the US. European politicians don't seem to be that supportive of this idea and they are the ones who have legal power here, not the US.

Tbh, it seems to me that Russia would actually profit in the long-term from yet another US illegal abuse of SWIFT. They already provide their own ISO 15022/200022 compatible solution, cheaper and decentralized https://www.cyberft.com/

Creating further inconvenience for business would simply drive them to consider additional diversification and redundancy, given that there are alternatives.

Sysadmin 102: Simple Systems Fail Less Often.
It was not difficult to get around the ban, but I wanted to point out that doing so is not allowed. Having broken no terms-of-service, I can be banned with no means of recourse. That is extremely problematic even if it is possible to cheat the system.
I was and continue to be surprised how reliable even old servers are. I run a small homelab (Debian VMs on Proxmox; a Docker host, a jumpbox, a NAS running ZFS, etc.) on seven year old hardware, and all of my problems are self-imposed. If I leave everything alone, it just works.

As a counterpoint, though, my last place had a large Java app, split between colo'd metal and AWS. Seemed like the colo'd stuff failed more (bad RAM mostly, a few CPUs, and an occasional PSU). Entirely anecdotal.

The True Cost of Kubernetes: People, Time and Productivity
Just an idea, along the lines of a single binary webserver: one may use Fossil SCM [1] to easily spawn a webserver ('fossil server', or even 'fossil ui'), no need for root (port 8080 by default).

The pages could be served as part of a project (all version-controlled), or as documentation pages, or as wiki. Styling is somewhat limited, but could still be done creatively.

Additionally, a static website or even a whole application (PHP or the likes) could be rolled out via /ext, the 'extension' path.

I doubt it. The complexity of multi-cloud will also give you downtime.

Most of the folks impacted by cloud outages do not have highly available systems in place. Perhaps, for their business, the cost doesn't justify the outcome.

If you need high uptime for instances, build your system to be highly available and leverage the fault domain constructs your provider offers (placement groups, availability zones, regions, load balancing, DNS routing, autoscaling groups, service discovery, etc). For instances, double down and use spot instance and maximum lifetimes in your groups so that you're continuously validating your application can recovery from instance interruptions.

If you're heavy on applications that leverage cloud APIs, such as is often the case with labmdas, then strongly consider multi-region active/active as API outages tend to cross AZ's and impact the entire region.

When you’re 11 this is true but the whole idea with this theory of aging is that the old cells pile up, and getting some cell division rejuvenates the tissues. Cell division is controlled by feedback mechanisms based in part on intracellular pressures. That’s how your finger knows to fill in a cut. Lose some tissue, trigger division.

So if you’re a tech billionaire who has noticed laugh or worry lines while checking out your hair transplants in the mirror, your body is already full of targets for this treatment. And the treatment is a vaccine. You can’t titrate a vaccine the way you can an SSRI, ramping up slowly to a full dose. Or none that I know of, so your whole body is going to be devouring itself many times faster than it normally does. You will probably develop a fever and feel weird for a moment, and your disposal systems for spare materials might be overwhelmed, like with rhabdo (mass muscle cell death leading to protein poisoning and kidney failure).

I wonder if this is a case where antibodies should be administered intravenously over the course of days followed by the vaccine to make it permanent if your body handles it well.
Sorry, this was back in 2006-2007 time frame. I have no idea on model numbers as that's just not information I ever cared to commit to memory.
Depending on the use case, especially if they’re developing a frontend project, this may be a non-issue. It’s very much a YMMV situation.
Standardisation is sort of happening by default. In my work I don't both correcting stuff like "color", "optimized", "software license" unless it actually matters. Sometimes this comes in from international colleagues but half the time it's that my own country-folk haven't bothered to change their spellchecker defaults.

[Ironically my own spellcheck has highlighted 'standardisation' for me... and asked do I mean 'standardization' or 'bastardization'. Good question :) ]

I was gonna respond with the same commentary here. That has been my experience beyond just IAM controls and why I advocate for passive systems for critical workloads.

Sometimes this _can_ be costly. For example with something like autoscaling, thats an active system I've seen fail when seemingly unrelated systems are failing. The result is scaling out systems intentionally ahead of time to deal with oversubscription or burst traffic which can leave you with (costly) idle compute.

I don't mind this tradeoff personally, but can understand that budget constraints are going to be different org to org.
Sucks you had that experience, but you have to consider the environment. The internet can be a toxic place, no matter the language.

Hell, long time ago, when my Japanese was admittedly still pretty bad, I ran into this drunk Japanese dude in some bar with my friend.

>Also, they are quick to implement most "features" Google implements, no matter how user-unfriendly it may be.

>An example for this is Mozilla implementing Manifest V3:

I fail to see how "implementing manifest v3" is user-unfriendly. I can see how people think that way, because "implementing manifest v3" is being conflated with "removing blocking webRequest API". However, there really isn't any indication that mozilla is doing the latter. For instance, you could implement manifest v3 but still supporting v2, or drop v2 but still keep the blocking webRequest API as a vendor specific API. There are good reasons to do the former, to allow firefox to work with extensions built for chrome, so I don't see any issues with mozilla implementing v3.
For what it's worth, I can open the web site fine on Firefox 95.0.2 / Windows 10, uBlock Origin, multi-account containers.
Again, your comparison falls apart right away.

1. There is a court in the US (called FISA), with procedure and some transparency. Neither exists in China.

2. Requests have been denied, just not that many. (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/fisa-court-has-onl...) But that proves they have the ability to say no, which is what we are discussing.

3. All of the above can be improved, but shifting the argument to "what's bad about the US system" away from "what China is actually doing" is drifting into deflection.
Ask HN: How to Retire ASAP?
I think freelancing is the best way for me to make money or initial capital (I'm living in Europe).
I can make maybe 100-120k per year, which comes to maybe 60k after taxes.
After living expenses, that's maybe 35k per year. Not a whole lot for investments.

I did get lucky this year with GME but it turns out that trading is not for me so I lost most of it.
Now even crypto is too mature so there's not that much potential left (relatively speaking).
