Sometimes you have to stop listening to what people say and get out your own tape measure/calculator. If not for yourself, so other people can take you seriously.

We have .25% of Americans officially dead from COVID so far. Not of infected Americans, of the general population. If not more person dies, "A Standford Professor" is already off by a factor of 12. Officially 1 in 5.7 of us (58m out of 331m) has been diagnosed, so even if there are people who got mild cases and didn't report, that number is likely to climb to anywhere between .7-1.4% of the overall population. Dead. In the ground. That's almost two orders of magnitude off. And if we cluster so much that hospital resources are exhausted, then that number will be higher.

So nobody should write OSS because you can’t complain about the fact that you chose to make it free. And nobody should use OSS because they can’t complain when the software is broken. I think this says a lot about open source software.
The answer is pretty simple, though you may not like it: lots of people will die.
Keep your speculation to yourself, it serves no purpose here.
Something like "Zeus" is mainstream.

Yggdrasil is not. You can lookup the Google Trends [1] to see that it's not really popular outside of Northen Europe.

The bigger and more square the brownie pan (total surface area), the worse the ratio of edge to center pieces. If the brownie making evolves to larger and larger square-ish pans, it is imperative that the ratio of center to edge preferrers adjusts similarly, otherwise you edge folk will find yourself hungry.
That’s not a bad policy but it’s solid software, basically a Cocoa wrapper around MPV which as it turns out, is a fairly solid idea.

Years ago when VLC was the rage, I could open any video or sound file I wanted in QuickTime Player with an array of plug-ins including Persian, Flip4Mac and a couple others I’ve long since forgotten. That served me well until it became impossible to install and use QuickTime 7 on a modern Macintosh.

IINA quickly filled that hole for me, and was a solid upgrade over a player I never asked much from, readily replicating all the features I cared about and throwing in a few more. If all you want is a media player that lets you double click a file and play it back, IINA is the best there is on the Macintosh today.

What’s the concrete evidence making this likely to be true? If there’s none, just wild speculation, then I’d consider it a wild conspiracy theory.

The link seems to be “Swartz downloaded millions of scholarly articles using an MIT network, and Epstein/Maxwell donated money to
MIT.” That seems to be about it? Not exactly a logical reason to conclude that Swartz was assassinated as part of an Epstein/Maxwell coverup.

They were solved in a way that slowed progress.

So invariably, people discovered that if they threw out the complexities of the solutions, they could make faster progress.

Then they eventually ran into the corner cases.

That's the time loop that keeps happening.
Are you open to answering a battery of questions about this child and are you aware of how to respond to children when they say they see/hear things you don't or say they remember things you know they've never experienced, in such a way as to not teach them to shut down whatever they're experiencing?

True enough overall, but I'm surprised no one has let you know that NPM actually doesn't allow you to delete packages anymore (after the left-pad controversy). You have to email them and then you are judged by how many downloads you have. If you have users relying on your package, they do not let you delete it.
No I'm implying the exact opposite.
Sure. I think REPL-driven development is great for what I call exploratory programming. When you are playing around with ideas and want to quickly try out different approaches and quickly test if a new function is working. However the code that I normally deal with are very large code bases where a lot of the code is not written by myself. And I find it a lot easier to navigate and build a mental model of where things are and how it works using an IDE. It simply works better for my brain but of course YMMV.
I'm not sure this article does a good enough job of explaining why it's a code smell. Aside from the event bus code looking slightly better, I don't see any big advantages. One disadvantage is that if you have a big class with lots of different events, you now have to import all of your events rather than just importing the singular logger.

Typically I only resort to logging in situations where I don't want to propagate an error but I do want to log that an error happened. I also sometimes get lazy and debug using logs. I'm trying to avoid this as much as possible and instead debug by attaching to a process and using breakpoints. However this article doesn't touch on either of these scenarios.

Also, log4j's vulnerability had nothing to do with the actual concept of logging. AFAIK the vulnerability came from log4j's JNDI lookup functionality, which was not doing any kind of input sanitization which allowed attackers to perform remote code execution.

I was really looking forward to a post on logging as a code smell, mostly geared towards inexperienced developers. Pretty disappointed with the actual post.
Search ‘revolution’
> Logging is an example of code duplication.

Is it? What am I missing here?
> lots of people were predicting a pandemic

yes — even William Gibson, in a book Stross references in this blog post by using its term “the klept.”

for that matter, Obama predicted it too, setting up a pandemics office, and he did that because as (again) Stross himself says in this blog post, this pandemic came along after two prior coronavirus pandemics.

(I’m a fan, but I don’t think he did a ton of proofreading on this.)
> Both patterns exist in the language.

Yes that is my point.

Residential IPs are generally proactively added to RBLs by the ISPs themselves as a form of spam protection. Before they started doing that it was basically whack-a-spammer all day every day for them.
I love the idea of an event bus, but all I use is C and embedded. The last time I considered it I backed away from it.

Wish there was effort to establish a pattern for this in C.
The developer can DCMA claiming the code doesn’t follow his license as famously happened with Bukkit (the Minecraft server tool).

I am sorry for your misfortune, but I believe this to be misdirected.

(1) Employers offering Healthcare options to employees is more of a failure of the healthcare system in the US than a positive employment perk.

(2) Your company chooses the Healthcare provider they partner with. You are likely ineligible to be covered by their provider.

(3) Contractors do not get benefits. This has nothing to do with you being international. If you were based in the US, you would not be provided with Healthcare either.

All contractors in every country all over the world do not get employee benefits and is more or less the definition of being a contractor.

Either you are mistranslating some words, or seem to be missing some valuable pieces of information that is making you conflate all these variables.

It does bother me quite a bit though that you signed a non-compete agreement, as you typically only see this with employees.

(1) This is not enforceable (assuming of course you aren't reusing their work for other clients)

(2) As a contractor you are running a business. You are responsible for taxes, paying your salary, insurance, and Healthcare.

(3) Another company cannot dictate how you run your business. You can grow your business, take on new clients, do whatever you want.

It sounds like you need to do either one of two things.

(1) Start running your contractor setup more like a proper contractor shop. Get advice from here about expanding your business.

or

(2) If you really want to be an employee of a US company you can ask if they will sponsor you for a visa.

Hopefully my response has not been too direct, but I do think you need to get out of this mindset of thinking you are an employee. You are a contractor, and should be able to leverage the benefits of that. Most notably the larger incomes contractors demand for the simple fact they have so much more overhead to run their business.

Businesses in turn are happy to pay inflated contractor costs because it means they do not have to provide them with benefits like insurance.

These are two different ways of working and should not be equating them as you seem to be.

If you really want to be an employee, pretty much the only options are asking them to sponsor you for a visa, or getting them to open a branch office in your country.

I hope this gives you some thoughts to push things in one direction or another, and I hope that things turn in your favor this year.
the dashed line under the input could be briefly turned red (for 400-500ms) when you clear it on fail
I think it terms of response if there is say a 5% chance of a global pandemic happening in any one year the world won't act all that much differently than if there was a 0.1% chance. The board political and societal will to do something can only really be directed at things right in front of us.

I saw a quote recently along the lines of as much as spent on a single soccer team as the worlds budget for detecting near earth asteroids.

> It was deliberate sabotage, done with full knowledge that it would cause major damage.

That's how protesting often works. Deliberately interfering in normal affairs is a very common protest tactic. Just look at the interstate shutdowns after the George Floyd killing, or going back to Rosa Parks and the Montgomery bus boycott, worker strikes, etc. etc. That's exactly how protest works.

Forcing application code to print statements like "LIBERTY LIBERTY LIBERTY" is very, very different than trying to infiltrate commercial systems and exfiltrate sensitive data.
While this poll was a result of the recent incident, it is not about those two packages. It's about _all_ packages and authors, in general. The question is whether NPM should retain the package against an author's will such that infrastructure does not break, or adhere to the author's will and remove the package, breaking infrastructure in the process.

Edit: It is assumed that NPM does have what is legally necessary to continue hosting the package.
In Germany, regular prices scratch 30 cents/kWh, so you're looking at another 25€ a month just to run the dish.

A regular unlimited Gigabit Uplink runs 40€-80€ a month, with hardware included and a power usage in the range of 10W.

But, unfortunately, anywhere you have a Garden large enough to host starlink, you probably won't have anything near that speed available, so it's still pretty competitive.

Feedly and a few other services include the subscriber count in the user agent they send to my Atom feed.

I think you've missed a step jumping straight to prison.

If you accept a lack of free will, the solution does not need to immediately jump there but rather to finding a way that is fair to all to prevent the bad behavior thing from affecting others negatively while not locking someone up in a cage. There are many lines in between and some penal systems have adapted, but the US is way far behind there.

The optimization is no longer about revenge / punishment but about altering the scenario of the world to make everyone work together better. Sometimes people need to be fully separated from society, but not often. I think we do have effective behavior altering treatments, but they just aren't drugs and take time. But it's not a straight line from "it takes time to help people and its unreliable" to "we're giving up on finding a way for society to work with the people who did not choose what they are".
Multiple signatures would indeed be a good mitigation against coercion, especially if the signatories were in different jurisdictions.

Ideally you'd want a system which separates reputation from meatspace identity, so that well-trusted reviewers couldn't be easily targeted offline. Unfortunately that would require a lot of good opsec, and go against the financial incentive for someone to disclose their online identity as part of a salary negotiation, for example.

He has several standup specials. Among recurring themes:

- References to his role in Full House/AFHV (they made him wealthy)

- References to his role in Full House (having sex with a younger cast member)

- References to his role in Full House (cheap shots at the other adult cast members)

- Generally high-shock-value sexual references/innuendo

- Various self deprecating jokes mainly of a sexual deviancy nature

- A not-surprising-in-hindsight large amount of musical bits

- A general not so subtle hint that this, too, is all a facade and that while you may be appalled or interested in this other side of him it’s just as insincere
Warning, im feeling synical this evening...

Completely agree! I find that a lot of developers don't understand how things work under the hood or how things fit together. This always comes back to bit them. Same can be said for modern infrastructure engineers / DevOps / sysadmins.
Probably neither... they were both for the audience. The 'America's Dad' thing came mostly from his stint on the show Full House in the 80's and 90's. However, his standup could get hilariously filthy and was as anti-'America's Dad' as one could imagine. I doubt it was a drug thing, he just had two different audiences he played to and did it well.
It could be valuable proof of work to rebuild it.
For Windows users, there's mpv.net, which adds a GUI for configuration editing and a command palette. [1][2]

There is also mpc-qt, which replicates the classic MPC-HT UI, but with libmpv as the backend. [3]

Personally I found mpv's defaults sane enough to not need a GUI for it, but I did release an unofficial version to the Windows 10 Store with a wrapper that adds file association and macOS-style single instance support. [4][5]

He's marketing to the kind of people for whom Yggdrasil is a memorable name.

When I was a nerd teenager in the 90s, reading F-PROT's built-in encyclopedia of computer viruses, it was hard not to notice the abundance of Tolkien and similar references. Hackers have always loved this stuff.
We should not have trillion dollar corporations. They're all just far to large - they distort society, let alone the market.
All the FAANG's should be broken up.
At least where I am, the business class internet that I have access to doesn't come with static IPs and is approximately three times as expensive as residential for the same service level.
Wow. RIP.

I suspect it was a heart attack, or similar kind of fatal situation.
Suppose you have a definition of a chicken that is rigorous enough to break any ties. Then the first chicken that meets this definition was hatched from an egg. That egg was laid by a non-chicken (some animal that was very close to, but not exactly, a chicken). So the egg came first.
That inspires confidence, I'm sure they can manage an entire island
My only wishlist item for `ssh-agent` that would make all use of the agent safer, or nearly as safe as a hardware key, is that it had the option for an interactive confirmation dialog or mechanism for the user to confirm the source, destination, key, and client making the signing request. This is how most crypto wallets work, and given that the SSH private key never leaves the original host's agent's memory, a confirmation on use mechanism would alleviate most remaining forwarded agent hijacking concerns.
I've noticed recently a number of celebrity death stories pointedly don't explain the deaths. Is this pure coincidence, or is this a kind of deliberate practice?

Thanks, that's great to read.

Why an overdose should make his passing "not great" is unclear.
The goal is to cure cancer. In the meantime, those efforts shouldn't be limited to people who (largely) fit the existing power structures and historical privilege.

"When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression."

The fact is our institutions of science and education have not been and are not pure meritocracies (and if they were, they are meritocracies in a society that gives more tools to achieve merit to specific groups of people)

The status quo is not truly based on merit, and is not the most efficient cause because it systemically excludes massive amounts of people.

This op ed implies that someone who doesn't believe in racial injustice is more meritous and worth considering and making space for rather than the Black woman who wasn't hired because of her [hair/vernacular/skin color/gender/couldn't get an internship or lab placement because of those same factors]
Isn’t there a poll option on HN that would be a better way to get this insight?

The way the question is phrased suggests you are spoiling for an argument, and the fact you would ask such a question in such a way in such a forum, with no supporting facts or additional content, suggests engaging in this post would be a waste of time.

When a single sentence includes the words “absolutely”, “greatest”, “massive”, “urgent” and “scramble”, it speaks more to the author than the issue at hand. For the same reason you move to the other side of the street when a homeless person is ranting, you will not get the meaningful engagement you are expecting from such a post. IMHO
Question: How is starlink going to be a game changer in ways publicly funded infrastructure (either traditional cables or cables + 5G towers) aren’t?

Your anecdote doesn’t really cover “game changer” since land outside of suburbia is pretty either scarce, big and expensive, underdeveloped, etc. and not many people want to live there (and I doubt fast broadband is the only thing holding people back).

I honestly don’t think starlink is useful for that many people. Personally I would categorize it as a quality of life improvement for a small group of wealthy individuals (and maybe even smaller number of industrial workers which work onsite in remote locations). I have a hard time seeing it doing anything more.
Except the license does say so
For the most part comments I appreciate are something like "the obvious thing here is xyz, but we can't do that because of this goofy limitation of software we're integrating with."
Good thing he doesn't even choose the codenames of the sub projects, let alone do all of the work or hold all of the keys to the kingdom.

Realistically, the validators do.
Thanks for the link! That was a great read. And a good example I think of using Lisp embedded in a C++ program to give the user more power and flexibility. I think it is the right way to do it when your UI is basically code. A lot of games do something similar (using embedded Python, Lua or Lisp) to make it possible for gamers to extend the game. I think Factorio use Lua for this. But Lisp would have been another good choice I think.
You have a solid 20 years before it impacts value. We are getting out in 10 years
I believe he was known for doing a lot of coke in the 80s and 90s so perhaps he just ran his body hard in his youth and 65 is where his body ended up.
Anyone who's seen even 10 seconds of his standup act would scoff at the "America's Dad" label.
"Has" is the present tense. Nowhere in the US currently has "huge lockdowns". Also I wouldn't describe the New York full lockdown as lasting a very long time. The most severe lockdown in New York lasted just a few months and was much shorter than lockdowns in many regions of the world.
The P in JPEG stands for "photo." You don't pronounce it "jpheg." English isn't a consistent language, and to try to apply consistent pronunciation is a failure in abstract thinking.
