> the usual Guardian dalliance with identity politics

I especially liked the "people who live in bodies" bit (or "black bodies"!). Your body is not a house that some "real you" inhabits. You are your body. You are bodily. That's part of what it means to be human is a bodily creature. There is more to you than the bodily (pace materialists whose view of the bodily itself is deficient and mechanistic even as strictly bodily), but it is a part of you.

I don't know where this strange, almost dualistic "othering" of one's body (to borrow their term) comes from, but it does square with the gnostic hatred of the body and the physical world that is in vogue. Perhaps a combination of envy and an overreaction to the cult of the body.
Some one else said BW doesn’t always detect new logins. Is this not true? That comment doesn’t appear to have downvotes or people stating otherwise.

Another few comments have said BW sometimes loses track of a pw or login. Maybe when created?

> The current Android platform supports GPS, SBAS, GLONASS, QZSS, BEIDOU, GALILEO, and IRNSS[0].

But it depends (and varies wildly) on the hardware of said Android. I buy 3 to 5 cheap (sub 100 euro/US$) Androids per year and it always surprises me which device supports which GNSS is supported and how accurate or not they are.

PS I use them to Wigle (https://wigle.net) mainly, and the WiFi reception is exactly as diverse as the GNSS.
Emacs with vim keybindings. A lot of folks say the emacs or vim won't make you a better developer. I disagree - if you're a newer developer, then using either of these editors will make you a better developer; I'll explain why. Emacs and vim lend themselves to customization, hacking on, etc. What this does put you in a creator, rather than a consumer, mindset. Unlike a commercial IDE, if there's something your editor doesn't do or something you want to change, you often build the feature yourself, instead of asking or begging some company to add features.

That being said, neither of these editors will give you magic powers, and if you're looking for the lowest effort to benefit ratio, then you're better off with something like VS Code.

Ask HN: Will referral codes cheapen honest referrals?

We are considering a Tesla style referral reward program (use this code, rewards accrue) to say thanks, but don’t want to accidentally cheapen a previously honest, organic thing.

Any thoughts?

What's the problem with firejail? Start with an empty profile, blacklist everything, and whitelist only the stuff you need. It works just fine for server applications, and unlike systemd isolation flags you can setup a proper separate firewall with the `netfilter` option.
I also find it just fascinating, that anyone would pump hundreds of millions in a service which is a copycat anyhow and doesn't even own the IP on the only thing that could potentially differentiate them from their competitors.

I mean, hiring desperate people and students to make deliveries in a couple if cities at a loss seems not to be the greatest feat. Services like Uber at least have some tech in-house which is mildly innovative. But this is just pathetic.
That is an extremely rude misrepresentation and attempt to pretend I am less than I am.
That is an unkind, cruel way to react simply because you do not believe it is possible. Rather than maintaining curiosity and being open that there is something new you could learn in the data, you aggressively perpetrate a confirmation bias, and try to pretend someone is less than they are, and try to hurt them, and think it is okay to do that. It is very wrong.

The only delusion here is yours: that reality must conform to your current belief of it. And arrogant that nothing outside your necessarily limited understanding must exist. And wrong to perpetrate your own chosen closed-mindedness on others with cruelty.

I remain a little skeptical and in the past have considered that it is all a delusion. And if so, good, I would give it up. I am unattached. But the data convinces me otherwise. It is not a delusion. I am sure. I too have no explanation for how it is possible.

It is you who is deluded to be so arrogant and you who is the only one under a delusion, which includes your believing that the cruelty in your comment is either appropriate or warranted. Perhaps speak to a mental health professional rather than making these choices and posting on hn?
Not sure which year (decade? :P) you're talking about but in the beginning (before 2010, maybe 2007-08?) Jan was still kinda involved in the German PHP scene and I can't imagine that to be true, I only remember good interactions and we were one of the heaviest users of lighttpd back then. But the docs were never that great, and it seemed to be a one man show, later with a very small team, that's when I think it stalled and only picked up pace years later.

But there indeed came a time (maybe 2010ish?) where nginx took the lead with gread strides and most people (even the die-hard fans) mostly moved to nginx, that's about when it was clear that it would probably win and stay for the forseeable future. Back in those circles at least (see some other comments for the PHP FPM story) Apache was only kept for setups with lots of different other dependencies, like mod_svn or webdav, if you "only" needed a webserver to front PHP it was nginx.

I also remember many people holding out on adopting Apache 2.2 for a looong time.

If you strip out the woke language, it's pretty easy to see this as factual. The Jedi absolutely are a police force. They often use violence and psychic manipulation through the Force. They are arguably a religious force, pursuing a fairly ascetic lifestyle consistent with a monk.
What you said at the end is correct. He is aiming to have the courts somehow force through a Bitcoin hard fork that moves Satoshi's coins to an address controlled by himself, and he is including his Bitcoin fork, BSV, so that his team can implement the fork and show the courts it's a viable remedy.

Then he'll say to the courts "look the developers and miners for BSV made the change so it's possible; You need to go after the Bitcoin people and make them do the same."
That is a sick story.

> it would diminish the sense of urgency and discourage the much more prudent and affordable approach of simply reducing emissions.

If air capture costs more, then simple economics will keep us more focused on reducing emissions. If it somehow costs less, then doing the air capture is a win.

Most likely, air capture will cost more in some cases (power plant emissions), and less in other cases (long-haul jets). Ideally we'd set a price on carbon, award credits for verifiable air capture/sequestration, and let the market sort all this out.

If you must identify with some group, there is regional variation of lived experience within the US. Growing up in New York is a good deal different than growing up in San Diego. The outlooks and practices of people in that region form culture. It may not be an ancient culture or associated with genetic trends, but at least it's something you've actually experienced.

That said, I don't like when people ask me where I grew up because I immediately feel judged for something I had no say in.

I have a bash alias for `make` and `ninja` to do something similar. Just having all the spawned processes in a cgroup helps with system interactivity while building. This works because the kernel will then schedule the whole build as a single unit against the other work on the system, rather than scheduling each process that the build spawns against every other process that I'm running.
> Do you really trust governments to handle the monetary system?

I have no choice; my wages are paid in their currency, and they demand taxes in the same.

So I take on very little additional risk in using their money for everyday things.

Buying cryptocurrency, on the other hand, would expose me to a ton of new risks I'm not currently exposed to: to get remotely robbed with no recourse, that it should collapse in value by the time I would want to spend it.

It would not alleviate the risk from government at all: I can try keeping it secret from them, not declare it (which is illegal, risky, and gives additional headaches at the point I would want to spend it). Or I could let them know, which would leave me just as exposed to their old shenanigans.
It might help to realize that it's not a "corporation" which is tone deaf, but a bunch of managers with names and salaries which are incentivized to be tone deaf to the masses.
We have daily examples of white collar crime. These are people with well enough paying jobs.

Most people will not embezzle from their company —but some will despite not needing to and being aware of the risks. They just have the opportunity to. The same behavior happens in other spheres.

Most theft is not due to impending dire straights. It’s opportunity for quick cash of loot without needing to go through the tribulations of getting a paying gig.
No, the CLOUD act was created specifically because Microsoft previously denied to comply with a US court order on the basis that the data was stored in Ireland.

Ignoring race doesn’t make it stop being a problem. We tried that from basically the 1980s till the mid-2000s and things really only got worse. Race may have stopped being on the minds of white people, but it is always on the minds of non-white people every time they interact with a white person. Not engaging on racial issues is why we had riots in 2020.
I have a serious question and I’d love a real response. Why are so many parents so judgmental??

It’s really interesting. OP shared a story about what works for their child. Rather than just leave it be, you judge it, conclude that it’s going to be a cause of a bad relationship between parent and child and then turn it around so it makes the parent seem selfish.

Has it ever occurred to you that none of really know what we’re doing? And that unless you happen to be a highly trained professional in one of about three areas, you’re not qualified to say things like that??

Finally, do you ever think about how lonely parenting can be because of judgmental people like you??

Look, we have enough doubt. What’s wrong with just being kind?? Did implying that OP will have a bad relationship with their child build you up??

If so, what are you teaching your children? And what’s up with the judging? Who cares what other parents do?? It’s frankly none of your business.

My issue with most repair jobs as a hobbyist who can do amateur level of soldering is, oddly enough, stripped screws. No matter what I'm trying to do and despite my best efforts, there's a very high chance of me stripping a screw, which is something that can happen in seconds and then either becomes very hard to recover or impossible. At some point, I either have leave it alone or destroy the casing altogether.

They show a Playstation 3 controller in the article, which is actually easy to get into... if you don't strip the screws. Just a few seconds of using a PH0 bit instead of the required PH00 the other day lost me a controller that probably could have been saved. Is this a case of bad tools? I can definitely believe that when tackling rusty, big screws: larger and higher quality screwdrivers with good grips definitely made the difference for me in the past. But for precision jobs, I have no clue what I'm doing wrong. I was using an iFixit driver kit for this job. How do you avoid this? Do you absolutely have to know the exact bit to use for every screw beforehand? Is just guessing "eh, this looks about right" just asking for trouble?

The much maligned in right-to-repair circles Torx and Apple pentalobe screws are actually great for me. Never in my life I ruined one of those, where sometimes I feel like I damage one out of five Philips or flat head screws I attempt to unscrew.

It's been a few months, so I went back and checked my story. I definitely never did get the refund, but maybe I was misremembering things. There's one extra piece I had forgotten: the split "release" of the Mac version.

tl;dr: Steam didn't know anything about the devs releasing the Mac version late, so the "14 days from release" didn't line up with my expectation of "14 days from access".

Details for posterity:

The game was set to launch on Aug 17. On Aug 3, the team included a footnote at the bottom of a news announcement which said Mac would be delayed by "about a month":

https://steamcommunity.com/games/1124300/announcements/detai...

(There was also a pinned discussion topic about this at the time, which has since been de-pinned. It didn't have any more details than "see the announcement".)

A month later, on Sep 15, a beta for Mac was announced:

https://steamcommunity.com/games/1124300/announcements/detai...

Another month later, on Oct 21, Mac support was still in Beta, and M1 was still TBD:

https://steamcommunity.com/games/1124300/announcements/detai...

If you want to see the dumpster fire of poor communication and frustrated customers at the time:

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1124300/discussions/search/?q...

I asked for a refund on Sept 11, some 4 days before the beta announcement, and was denied the same day. I followed up via email for details, but was basically told the same "nope, it's been out too long" story in longer form. (At the time, there had been _zero_ word from the devs about Mac support, despite the initial "about a month" estimate, so I lost hope it would happen in anything like a timely manner.)

It looks like people were able to get refunds later that month specifically due to the lack of M1 support:

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1124300/discussions/0/2963922...

I guess I happened to fall right into that dead zone between everyone wanting to believe the devs were running just a little behind, and people at Steam realizing there was a legitimate problem. I was cranky about it at the time, but months later I get that there was probably not going to be any other outcome. I certainly don't ascribe any malice, nefarious plotting, or ill intent on the part of Steam or the devs ... but nor would I say that I think either responded in the interests of the customers.

If I could get Steam to improve from this I'd love for them to track platform-specific release dates, and be more strict about developers claiming support for platforms which don't actually run the game ... but I'm not going to hold my breath.

As for myself ... as much as I believe in the idea that preorders can be used to help fund games, and help keep devs employed by not reinforcing the cycle of crunch-then-layoff, I admit this experience (and other preorders-go-sideways experiences like Homeworld 3, FF7R) has kindof soured me on it. It's fine as an abstract concept, but it's at odds with the reality of date-driven releases (as opposed to quality-driven). These days I'm more likely to just add something to my wishlist and check back some time after release day to see if there are any dumpster fires.

The problem with EU legislation in that regard - or rather the current lack of pertinent agreements since the EU–US Privacy Shield has been declared invalid - is that it doesn't just apply to US-based services and US companies. Having a US subsidiary or even just a US-based supplier is enough for an entire company to theoretically be considered in violation of EU laws and GDPR in particular.

This means that as a business, theoretically you'd have to vet every single customer and supplier regarding their involvement with US-based companies.

Since realistically this would amount to most companies not being able to do any business at all anymore - and consequently the economy grinding to a halt - in most cases this doesn't have immediate repercussions.

However, such unpredictability caused by regulations such as GDPR is a huge problem because you can't ever be sure you won't be issued a - potentially crippling - fine simply because some local authority considered this a good idea.

I didn't listen to the 14-minute story, either, just read the article that had very limited information -- but certainly one major difference is storage of personal health data. The closest NPR gets to that is whether you read, say, an article like "COVID vaccines may briefly change your menstrual cycle, but you should still get one."

If you're implying hypocrisy, I don't think it exists here. News companies sharing data with advertisers (so, nearly all of them) should absolutely be reporting on this issue. If I got/tracked periods, this is information I would want to know.
Though some news sites detect private mode and block the article. NYT for example.
