I assume nobody in their right would sponsor the orginal author who instead of maintaining the project distributes malware and builds bombs.
It doesn't feel like there was enough criticism against GitHub for their decision to ban the developer of faker/colors. This was his own corner of the internet for him to publish his own personal projects.

I understand the decision for npm to take ownership of his packages, because npm is a community package repository owned by, and for, the community. All community package repositories have some sort of policy for package takeovers.

But GitHub claims to be your home for public hosting of your own personal code. What GitHub policy did he violate? The really outrageous thing is that the developer going "rogue" was actually him expressing his freedom of speech, again on his own personal GitHub account, in his own personal (not organization) repositories. He spoke about his thoughts about open source, businesses, and economics. Defending this type of political speech is especially important and GitHub banning his account and censoring this type of speech(whether you agree with it or not) is especially shameful.
Or later in 1987 an Amiga 500 for 699.
So who told Roman nobility to pretend they liked to live in their own houses and forced them out of lovely insulae with all the people living nearby and music and social life? I am guessing the "corporate media" is telling this to the people now, but who had been doing this all through the history before the printing press had been invented?
There's no reason both the landlord and the tenant can't both be in the wrong.
That's great, but there are very little businesses of 1.
The terms of the funding are attached to the project, not a specific maintainer:

> During the conversation with Ben, he went over the terms and conditions of the Open Collective with me.

> Ben said that simply, "The funding is attached to the project, not the current maintainer."

None of Marak's personal GitHub sponsors were changed (obviously).

To be clear: Marak deleted the original project as part of his protest. The sponsors in question are donating money to sponsor the project, not a single person. It wouldn't make sense to send their money to someone who deleted the project.
I'd suggest taking a look at Movim: https://movim.eu/

It takes an appropriately set up xmpp server and essentially reproduces a social network. Microblogs, groups, and chat. Implements OMEMO and the like if memory serves. It is a great platform and just as compelling as Discord IMO.
Unless the game engine is doing its own scaling, this does sound like lying to the operating system to get out of the way of those pesky user-friendly features to get more frames.

I think Microsoft made it this hard to enable the DPI-aware setting exactly because it forces developers to think about things like DPI. If everyone follows this guide and ignores it, then I predict that in a few years this setting will be ignored as well and a new DPI-awareness API will be released.

Look, I'm not suggesting anyone eat any kind of live animal, especially cats, but I think there's a question here of how exactly one would eat some of these animals... even my smallest cat is easily way too big to fit in my mouth and certainly too big to pass through my esophagus, and all of that disregards the very practical consideration of the animal fighting back. Thus, I read a great deal of dramatic flair and exaggeration in the article - it seems vey unlikely that he ate all of the things listed, at least not in the way they were described, but rather it seems likely that there arose some fables given the person's clear extreme appetite and habits.
I’m curious if you have much evidence that this is common? I suspect it’s mostly a myth that is easy to believe (it can feel good to believe it because it means you were removed from the applicant pipeline because of stupid computer reasons rather than because you don’t appear to meet some bar to a human, even if that bar is a stupid thing like prestige) and oft repeated.

I definitely think it’s likely that most people on hn don’t work for companies that do this, but maybe hn just skews toward certain kinds of tech jobs.
Serious question: why? What would you say those sponsors were sponsoring?
Is there anything in IRL physics with this property?

"If it exists, it is "primordial" because it's absolutely impossible to create this configuration from a previous, different configuration".

edit: Like maybe a topological kink. I think it's been suggested that Alcubierre drives are physically possible, except there is no physically-legal way to create them starting from flat spacetime. I.e. it'd be alright if one existed because it "always existed".

I would agree that his enlarged stomach is probably a bi-product of his illness.

In the periods when I've eaten a lot, I could eat a lot. In the periods when I was eating only tiny meals on a regular basis, my stomach would shrink and I would only need tiny amounts of food to fill satiated.
That's a good advice but probably for the top X percent in their industry who have a luxury to choose their employer - not everyone is in this position.
> It doesn't feel like there was enough criticism against GitHub for their decision to ban the developer of faker/colors.

He's not banned: https://github.com/Marak

You have to keep in mind that his changes were basically indistinguishable from a security breach of his account. Nobody really sabotages their own repos in a malicious manner like this. Suspending his account while they investigated doesn't seem like a stretch.

> This was his own corner of the internet for him to publish his own personal projects.

Which he's still free to do. But the actions in question had nothing to do with his "personal projects". It was specifically about his actions to intentionally break popular Node.js packages and do so with a version number that would disguise the change as a non-breaking update. It was a malicious act, and there's no way to paint it as anything else.
Until someone more experienced than me comments: The userland is the collection of programs and functionality that run outside of the kernel. AFAIK you need some things (but I'm not sure which) apart from the kernel if you want to run your executables, and it looks like Gokrazy provides those.
I used one in the past actually called burner (burnerapp.com). Did not work every time though.
This is a great comment for most data collection use-cases *****
Not sure yet.

This is probably going to fight virtual geometry tech like Unreal's Nanite, which is still using triangles but using clever automated LoD and GPGPU rasterization so that rendering e.g. 20 million pixel-sized triangles is fast and looks just as good as rendering a trillion triangles. (normally very small or thin triangles are a pathological case for hardware rasterizers)
> This is a third order effect, not first. They do not reduce transmission, instead they increase immune response, thus reducing replication, thus reducing transmission.

That's literally what is meant by "vaccines reduce transmission". Vaccines are not some nanobots that form a forcefield around your body preventing viruses from getting to you.

I think that's completely appropriate. Any unwanted email is spam.

I hate to admit this, but we send a lot of email like this at work, and I always get tickets like "all of our email is being marked as spam, can you fix DNS?" Usually it is a DNS issue (people add email senders without setting up Spam Permitted From and DKIM), but nobody will address the elephant in the room that maybe users don't want to read our marketing newsletters. They likely get 100 of the same things from 100 other vendors, and at some point, enough is enough.

(Dunno if this is a public Gmail feature or one that I'm allowlisted into from working at Google in the past, but I have a "tabbed inbox" and everything like this goes in "Promotions". I look in there from time to time and see thousands of messages a day of this type. Everyone sends these and Gmail knows that nobody wants to read them. It's unfortunate, but true.)
Resume “filtering” != resume “selecting”

Tech companies doing recruiting of any meaningful volume are indeed generally using searches or matches of some kind at the start of the funnel.
Good overview. I wrote about this in a bit more detail on our blog recently: https://www.stedi.com/blog/what-makes-edi-so-hard
I used to run freenas on an old IBM/Cyrix chip desktop maybe as late as 2008 or 2009..

Believe it was something like 133mhz but it might have been 3 or 400mhz I just can’t remember. Also forget how much ram it had..

Amazingly freenas performed admirably for basic smb and nfs for all the time I used it..
That applies to every foreign country actually.

Anyone that wants to be 100% sure of the supply chain has to move away from globalization.
But is failing to clean up transient resources that are only allocated for the duration of one function (or block) really a big problem with C? These tend to be the easiest ones to handle (but admittedly a bit annoying & verbose without defer) and spot if missing. (Also: static analyzers are relatively good at pointing out resources leaked in a single function.)

I think most of my functions that allocate a resource only release it on error; otherwise the allocated resource lives on and gets freed later by another function. Defer doesn't help at all here. It just helps with the trivial ones..
Interesting observation that Kronos stock haven't dropped, but even have grown during the month since the hack. Either market is irrational, or it is perceived that impacted customers has no altetnstive. And it could be the later, since switching to a new payroll provider without the previous records is a huge undertaking.
Agreed, and I can see that the template stuff could just be part of a new package. Don’t think we need to wait for go2. html/templates/v2 maybe?

I’d really love to see the deterministic select though be part of go2, and something that might not be popular, enums.

It doesn’t really take a powerful server to sustain HN traffic (tens of thousands of requests over a few hours). The problem is that most web server software is really inefficient. A 486 theoretically is capable of handling HN request load, it’s just not being used well.
I agree with nitrogen. And why would I want the OS level copy/paste to conflict with my terminal commands? Zamalek I think you are not realizing how much worse of a UX that would be when the terminal wants to use Ctrl & the GUI apps can use "snowflake" as you put it lol. Separates out the duties perfectly well.

Also to free up Win key combos more you can either disable it entirely via regedit, which I do not recommend - or explicitly disable certain letters individually by putting them into a string in regedit. This then frees it up for better remapping under any remapper, including mine kinto.sh.

If the medallions are changing hands for more than $0 we can infer that most buyers are opting into the conditions attached to the medallion. They may not be happy with all of them, but they have had an opportunity to consider them.

I set up a DNS server on a 486DX2/66 w/4MB RAM running Linux 1.2.x for a university back in 1995. It had run without problems for years.
Typical legacy bureaucracy.

- courthouse procedures are peak redundancy, it's like the opposite of any database normalization 101, the more you copy the same data in various formats the better, and do not question why. It's systemically settled, since everybody expect the data to look like this, any deviation will trigger anxiety, and since they have no information management training they will scream for missing data even though there's still 12 copies of it scattered around the page, just like the emacs keyboard xkcd blended with the old waiting room social mirroring experiment
With the added benefit that heat rises so that should be the warmest area.
Facebook also used xmpp in the past, it appears:

https://eion.robbmob.com/blog/2009/11/04/xmpp-facebook-chat/

Supposedly WhatsApp is also based on xmpp:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WhatsApp

It is a great pity that something that has created so much value for so many companies now somewhat languishes. A real shame. Not that xmpp isn't great, but it'd be so much better if the platforms that benefited from it had only contributed back more.
Be interesting to have at least a few benchmarks to see if cutting so much of the regular distro code actually has a positive impact beyond the idea of it being more reliable. And that last bit does seem to remain an idea rather than a reality in that quite a lot of regular userland code (systemd comes to mind) helps stabilise a running linux box over time in a very real way. Personal exp incl having several headless Ubuntu boxes run for more than a year with zero issues despite being saddled with typical server lamp server stack.

All up for trying this though and can definitely see real bonus in terms of less resource use within Pi envs!

The Amiga had a true multi-tasking operating system, years before Apple Macs and Windows.

That alone made it pretty awesome.
Me, too. I'm so happy if a newly purchased game "just works". It feels like Windows by now is deliberately wasting my time with updates and unexpected configuration changes.
In college I got the advice that if you couldn’t highlight text on your resume then a bot can’t read it and it might get thrown out. And if that might cause it why risk it?

I think the fact it’s low cost to avoid and high cost if it occurs keeps most people just doing it regardless of whether it’s true or not
This seems to be arguing for more mentorship time.

> Every successful remote team still needs to master semi-regular synchronous meetings to combat the “island” effect. No matter how shy or introverted an employee may be, you, as a leader, need to hear their voice fairly frequently and pay attention to their messaging in how they discuss their work.)

How are we defining a mentor? I don't necessarily think I've had a "mentor", but I've had managers that allowed me to grow and learn on my own, some more than others. I don't think I would have had a lot of value added from more time/meetings with these managers, but I might be willing to call one or two of them "mentors". Maybe part of the whole restructuring needs to be defining when there is a mentorship going on, even
Kronos attack timing correlates with log4j vulnerability wide announcement, but from what I've read, log4j vulnerability was not the attack vector used for the hack. At least it was not concerned as the attack vector for the hack.
because as I said, if I already have something on the clipboard, I don't want it to be overwritten by everything I highlight. a non-copying reason to highlight is the "search for" feature in a browser, I use that all the time. a very common thing is to highlight some text, then highlight some other text in an input field or text editing program, then paste to replace the highlighted text with the copied text. if all I had was the middleclick buffer, this wouldn't be possible.
Here's where the problem sits.

There's this list of 50 giveaway scam websites currently active:
https://pastebin.com/raw/NmTQQq3C

Most of the sites in that list were found from these Youtube videos (discovered with the help of crowdsourced labor, thanks to Microlancer.io). Many of these websites were registered just recently.

It takes about 15 minutes of labor on average to complete the procedures (from a Proof-of-Concept) to archive and submit takedown requests for each of those. That's 15 minutes more per site than the author of this post wishes to allocate, uncompensated, at the present moment.

Link to a writeup on the Proof-of-concept:
https://bitcointech.medium.com/eradicating-giveaway-scams-no...

Tomorrow there'll be a dozen or two new additional sites to add to this list. The day after, another dozen or two.

Anyone have any suggestions as to how to combat this problem?
There are easier ways to say that I am not as smart I think I am. No need to use 1000 words for that.
You could probably only try to verify local education - for the foreign education not that easy. Even employment (even local) is very hard if possible at all. For example, I work for a large corp X as a contractor. It pays my agency Y. Y pays my umbrella company Z. Z pays me as its employee. There is hardly an easy way to link me to company X yet I've been there for 9 years.
Def thing folk jumping in the space of growing/living your own. Def thing its not a free time thing its something your have to do (full time) and spend your "free time" doing something other than it... I set the land of for when I am 150yrs old so I can always do the work while it should be work. broadband internet is a big deal in the NS Canada area where my property is. thing is folks whom own "land grants" or land secured and recorded in land forestry as AR or with particular uses cannot use that land for much other thing nor do most trust the government to allow much of anything put onto their property. so it would be good but is nice having to walk to the neighbors and speak when the animals get out. its been much hard to work and ten to the properties for me, as i had to jump back into the workspace. now i have cut ties with the to become full time again; remote work is helping.
Just curious. What is your objections wrt the last 3 points ?
The spacing of the white keys is correct in the sense that they are of equal width. However, the black keys on a real keyboard are not centered between adjacent white keys (except for the G# between G and A).

The placement so that the two groups of black keys, C#-D# and F#-G#-A#, are a little bit wider than the naive on-center placement, as if they were repelled from each other.

The thin parts of the white keys that are between the black keys are evenly spaced with the black keys: i.e. all 12 semitones are equally spaced at the back. The rear ends of the keys directly link to the striking mechanism, which lines up with evenly-spaced string courses.
I'm not quite understanding the "instead of Matrix" part… Why not both? Is the IETF unable to support more than a single standard for a particular purpose/task?
Yes, I'm also curious about GitHub's justification for this. It feels like they should have made some sort of statement about why the account was suspended, for the sake of transparency in such a large controversy. It's perfectly imaginable that Marak used his GitHub account to spam/harass other projects, or engage in some other type of speech that went against GitHub's guidelines, but there needs to be more clarity so that this doesn't seem like a case of "You annoyed me, so you're gone". As you said, it really can give the appearance of GitHub siding with the commercial use of open source for their own self-interest, even if I have enough trust in GitHub to know that that's probably not what they intended to do.

EDIT: I'm glad to hear from a sibling comment that GitHub has since unsuspended his account, since TFA and this comment made me think he was still suspended. Still, it feels like a misstep for GitHub not to have made some sort of comment here.
Yes, well, now I'll be slacking off at work due to it... so you'll continue to see that trend. Thanks for this!
I get what you are saying, but I feel like this applies:

It happens in big companies. My team is hiring about 100 people in the next 6 months.

For external candidates, we see less than 30% of all resumes. As with all things, 80% of the rest are junk and another 20% are potentially viable candidates.
People are quite good at lying to themselves about how objective, rational, and scientific their thoughts & opinions are, yes. Science is itself prone to ideology. See people being attracted to beautiful, simple theories.

Given the cost, it seems like there would be a big opportunity to install geothermal to bring that cost down. The payback would be quick with electricity costs like that.
> preaching anti-whiteness and anti-male hatred. I do some consulting for companies and have been put on a handful of their internal mailing lists so I directly see what kind of racist filth goes out to the actual employees.

As somebody very skeptical of this characterization but that admittedly does not work in FAANG I would love to see a copy and pasted example.
I signed up for a KVM hosting provider. They initially rejected my account because I used a "disposable" email address. Their experience is that use of disposable email addresses is highly correlated to use of their VM instances to send spam or carry out other hostile activities.

That explantion was acceptable to me; if it works for them. I might note that they only send me transactional email (statement of charges for the month) and no marketing.
The best teacher at my high school could never eat enough to maintain his body weight - all day long he sipped little juice boxes of protein goop that he took with a grimace from a bear sized stack of pallets against the back wall of his office .
He was nearish to seven foot, and in his opinion, didn't have a big enough stomach for the task.
As a young man he'd been a skinny pole. During a university science lab he had discovered he has an extraordinary ability to taste tiny concentrations of chemicals, somehow this information got passed on to an ice cream factory, and he got a summer holiday job tasting the ice cream for traces of the 'wrong' flavour e.g. could he still taste coffee after the line had been switched form ice coffee to strawberry. The story went that over three months of eating ice cream all day everyday, he blossomed into a ripped Adonis, and subsequently with his new athletic physique become a windsurfing champion. (yes there is such a thing as a windsurfing champion) But eating ice cream is not the universal delight you and I assume it is. It was a subjective ordeal, a long torturous slog, long days of spoon upon spoon. At the end of the summer, the now champion, couldn't face another bucket and began the lifelong search for something he could endure eating in quantities to satisfy his metabolism
