I make sure to end each conversation properly. Something like "I have to go, I have something to do, that was nice talking to you". That way you can start a new conversation 6 months later and it doesn't feel awkward.
Whilst the messaging here is chilling, I don’t think E2E will be banned in the UK. Not least because journalists and MPs use it everyday in signal and WhatsApp.
The Private Eye constantly bought this up, even when I didn't see it talked about in other news publications.

I can't remember the exact specifics, but Fujitsu are absolutely to blame in this. They knew about software bugs that caused these issues since 1999.

Private Eye had a great report on this whole saga: https://www.private-eye.co.uk/special-reports/justice-lost-i... (you can download the report as a PDF on that site).
> People's lives are better than ever

In the big cities of the western world, sure. Now tell that to the billions of people who don't have sanitation, and can't find clean food/water due to the industries you listed after polluting everything. But sure they can salvage through hazardous electronics parts and dismember them with powerful chemicals to make a living. But hey at least that's not gonna last, soon they'll be climate refugees, everything's amazing!

I'm definitely not a techno-pessimist, but oh boy have we fucked everything up for everyone (and we keep going).
It's like keeping an old Oldsmobile running, it doesn't make sense but you get respect when cruising the hood.
> If you have something truly paradigm changing you are not going to be able to get reasonable suggestions about it from big public discussions

To be more clear, i am not looking for discussions on the actual problem and/or solution. I am trying to figure out how to deal with the "fear" part. If anyone has experiences regarding this it would be really useful.

> When you say you have gained some insights about a domain, it sounds also like you might be a crank

The reason for the abstraction, was so discussion can be foucused on dealing with the "Fear" part as mentioned above. I have a whole lot of self-doubt:

- Is it really paradigm shifting?

- Is it possible?

- Can it be done?,

- Can i do it?

> Finally when someone says they have a paradigm changing thing but cannot divulge it, some people may feel the person is either pretentious

Fully undersand this. There is a reason for not divulging on this forum. Mostly what i have been doing is having conversations with other people about it. Never introducing it as "paradigm shifting".

My conversations are usually around
- Testing my assumptions
- Testing experts understanding of the problems

Mostly when i ask the "experts" in the area, they mostly agree that it is broken, it is not doing what it supposed to do. However they are caught in an never-ending cycle, and do not see a way out.

> All of which says if you believe strongly you can change the paradigm you will have to do something to show it to people, and even the people you show it to (in my experience) will probably be too limited to see then possibilities in what you propose. The proof is in the pudding, and the weirder the pudding the more you will have to work to get people to eat it and realize how delicious it actually is.

Fully Agree, anything completely new hits up against old mental models, and ways of doing things.

> Also when someone says their idea sparks fear in them because of the implications this is also a weird thing, because it implies what - a possible result of your idea is dystopia, mass extinction...?

This is fear in me, not about the IMPACT the this will have.

* Are there any strategies people in a similar situation have used to move pass this? *
> maintaining the "last contact" column is going to be a real hassle, and I find it weird it's not even mentioned.

This is one thing I thought about doing, but it seems like there's a lot of APIs that are now closed. But also, relationships are not like a tennis match, it's ok to write twice.

> I honestly don't think so. A consistent lack of response usually indicates the other person doesn't care.

I send out a load of mails over New Year's almost each year, and each year someone writes in April or July saying "OMG I forgot to write back" and then picks up the thread. There's no reason the people who never write back have decided not to, except in very obvious circumstances of relationship breakdown.

> I'd like to think that my friends won't forget about me completely if I stop contacting them

They won't forget you but they also won't contact you. A lot of people just feel weird about it.

Mostly I guess I'm default-positive. Very few people have ever let it be known, directly or indirectly, not to write to them anymore.
Thanks for the kind words. I'm building Kubestack because I believe strongly that frameworks make sense for IaC too and that platform teams need a better DX if they are supposed to deliver a better DX to app teams.

I'm currently helping companies build their Kubernetes platforms using Kubestack. So that's the "business model" for now.

The modules in the catalog, like e.g. ArgoCD, differ from other modules in so far as that they are built automatically from upstream releases. I maintain the Kustomization Terraform provider, which allows integrating native K8s manifests into Terraform and have Kustomize patches, generators etc. available to customize the upstream manifests. The Kustomize overlays can be defined in Terraform through the provider/modules and as a result you can use values from Terraform to configure the K8s manifests without maintaining K8s YAMl in HCL.

More details here: https://www.kubestack.com/framework/documentation/cluster-se...

Regarding Terragrunt I'm not 100% sure. Last time I checked they maintained different environments in different directories and then the CLI copies/symlinks/whatever that into a configuration before it runs Terraform. Kubestack however does use Terraform workspaces (in the TF CLI, not TF Cloud sense) for that purpose. There is just one code base. And modules have inheritance based configuration per environment. I'm not sure how well Terragrunt works with Terraform workspaces. If it does, then it should with Kubestack too.

Edit: added the Terragrunt answer.
Hate Microsoft much? You’re not selling anything to Microsoft. You sound like you just stepped out of the 90s.

As for the misinformation about writing 5-10 times more code than other popular languages, which languages would that be?
No, developers might be responsible for accounting errors. Everything that came after that is completely out of their hands. You cannot assert competence or complicity by the number of bugs. That is far more dependent on the testing environment and the complexity of the software.

And yes, developers are pretty regularly "cogs in the machine" when it comes to define the development conditions. Especially in large corporations like Fujitsu.
What a waste of public money.

As the paraphrased saying goes:

“If you outlaw Encryption only outlaws will have Encryption.”

It doesn’t solve a thing, other than make politicians look like they are doing something.

Petty thieves, small time drug dealers and other small time criminals may end up without encryption. But it doesn’t solve organised crime, there are the problem and they are intelligent enough to use an encrypted app, even if it “illegal”.

Amusingly our politicians all seem to run our government and parliament via WhatsApp and that’s obviously E2EE.
76 as a fraction of potentially over 900 nationally is disproportionately small, though I don't know whether there are disproportionately fewer sub postmasters in Scotland.

Do we know how many Scottish prosecutions did not go forward with the fiscal?

The fundamental issue here is that it is likely that the Post Office on the one hand knew of the problems with the code and on the other still continued its prosecutions (based on its longstanding reputation). The fact that in England and Wales they could get away with that without systematic scrutiny surely only sways the chances of cases succeeding elsewhere. There was evidence from Horizon identifying the frauds, after all, and they had been successfully prosecuted.
Interesting. Same thing happened to me at first, but now it is there. Maybe I posted the link too quickly, or does GDrive throttle?

By the way, the Download link usually works right away in these cases with google drive. The spinner is just the image preview loading. Although I've only previously seen this behavior while processing a video preview.
It doesn't work with known websites . I guess they are paid off by them ?
I will believe a Mars colony could be self-sustaining if the colonists, before they leave for Mars, by themselves build all the equipment they will have on Mars, including a copy of the equipment they need to do that building.

Not holding my breath here.
Possibly the reason I don't see Tesla as a services or software company is because I have very little faith that level 5 autonomous driving is going to be a thing in the near future. I could be very wrong, and if Tesla's existing hardware on the road can do it, then THAT would be a game changer and very easily justify the current stock price to me.

It's indeed nice that SVE2 binaries can run on differing HW, and fragmentation will be less because it's required in ARMv9.

> the same code will work for both the super-computer and the cheap phone. That is not possible with the x86 SIMD instructions

Actually, when the code is expressed using "portable intrinsics" (https://github.com/google/highway), the source code looks the same but compiles to SSE4/AVX2/AVX-512 and NEON,SVE,SVE2 and RISC-V V instructions.

Disclosure: I am the main author of this library.

Looks cool but very small user base. I suppose I should be the change I'm asking for and participate.

Edit: "We are never going to remove the slur filter completely (or add an option to that effect), because we dont want to make it easy for right-wingers to use Lemmy." (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/816)

I'm hardly right wing, but if the developers seek to suppress and remove anything they consider to be right wing, this is a hard pass from me. I am interested in discussion from a wide range of people with diverse opinions. I'm tired of echo chambers.
The regulation won't ban MPs using E2E encryption, the government doesn't care about journalists and their stupid rights. Everyone, but MPs and other people in power will be except from the ban.
Buffet and Munger manage the companies they buy. You, 99.99% of stock purchasers, and I are dependent on the existing management with no control over decisions companies make. Big difference.
Is there any subpixel text rendering implementation that avoids color fringing to such a degree I cannot see it, or not? It's certainly there on both Windows and Linux.
Ah don’t be afraid of it. You’re missing out an opportunity to live a worryless retirement and to even leave a solid chunk of assets to your kids/partner. Simply invest a few hundreds euros (probably 300-400 will be enough) every month into an ETF which tracks some of the very broad market indices like MSCI World, FTSE All World or even S&P500. You have very good chances of becoming a millionaire or almost-millionaire by the time you retire. Good luck!
They’re marketing terms. Marketing terms are usually poorly defined at a technical level because they’re designed to extract the best sounding description from a “holy shit that’s cool” perspective.

Eg 4D baby scans, HD being a collection of specifications, etc.

I used to roll my eyes at these and cloud/serverless too but then I gave up caring the accuracy of the terms because those that understand the technologies understood what the terms meant and those that didn’t (like CEOs), didn’t care. And I find any term to be equally hard to learn. Sure “serverless” might be misleading, but at least you’re not memorising an acronym (which I personally find harder to do).

It’s also worth commenting that language is constantly evolving through usage. For example terms like “perverted” and “groom” have much more sexual connotations now than their original definitions. The same is true for technical jargon too (eg “theory” has different connotations in science than it does in common vernacular).
So cool! A serious replacement for termux which is awesome. Being able to run a full vm, if can have a personalised “desktop” will make using a mobile phone and tablet vastly more productive for everything. Hope this comes to more than just the Pixel line.
Whenever I catch myself believing I have a unique world-changing insight, I just need to think some more to then realise what is ignorant/grandiose about it.

(As an example; the actual reason for wars is not ideological, or "hate", or failure to communicate, or anything such. It's just "fighting for resources".)
It's a problem of management, not th developers. Either the developers were allowed or pressured into shipping a defective system

I can't wait until this one backfires on them.

A good take on government competence on this sort of stuff was done by Brass Eye: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRRw1ERj2Gc
Why does the website have HTTPS??
Theoretically, yes.

But the owner of the domain can decide at which point they terminate.

Could be that your connection is just encrypted until a proxy that's inbetween.
Wouldn't you get the same effect if they accurately knew that humans were the dominant species in their neighborhood?
Yes, it can be. SSH too.
But with .Net you're pushing a trolley full of cans down the road while dressed in rags.
Is this available for purchase?
I think the government just rolls this kind of legislation out whenever something else is going on and they need a diversion.

I've said it in previous threads on the topic but something like this has probably come up once or twice a year for the past 20 years. Encryption, porn, age restrictions on the internet...

We shouldn't become dismissive of it that way but I'm sure this will conveniently fall off the radar when it's served its purpose. But it should be noted that our PM Boris Johnson referrs to something like this as a dead cat: throw a dead cat on the table and everyone's looking at the dead cat, not the other thing that's going on.
MPs and other parliamentary officials are exempt from ISPs keeping logs of their web activities, do you honestly think that this will affect the people in power?
The US has a public pension scheme called "social security," which guarantees at least a minimum level of income in retirement to all citizens (although, not enough to live on IMO).

This is intended to be supplemented with private investments via 401k & IRAs, which are actually relatively new programs (created in the late-1970s, but nobody even talked much about them until the 90s).

So while most millennials understand they need to be saving privately in these vehicles (r/personalfinance has 15 million members), there's a huge forgotten generation in the middle who slipped through the cracks between the transition from industrial-era corporate pensions to personal saving.

These are the folks who will unfortunately bear the brunt of the retirement crisis, having to get by only on Social security.
If you as an individual made an app that collected all contact information from people who installed it, you'd be in jail by now. Facebook (and others) have done that for years and are walking free (and rich, at that!).

This is the morals of the capitalist system: if you're already rich or powerful, you can do pretty much anything to the rest of us.
Clearly. Thinly veiled nonsense meant for no one doing nothing. It's simply a way to launder government money into private hands.
Yes, but only in the sense that it's encryption between you and the server you're talking to. That's not what people are referring to when they talk about end-to-end encryption, though.

What people are talking about there is that when I send you a message, it leaves my device encrypted, and can only be decrypted by you, on your device. Whatever servers it goes through, in order to get to you, cannot decrypt it at all. Law enforcement, third-party companies, doesn't matter, they can't see it, only you and I can.

That's an interesting question. I've never found an activity I could spend that much time on, besides perhaps playing computer games when I was a kid, but even that I would get tired of sometimes.

I don't think these people are fundamentally, orthogonality, different, but I assume they are outliers on some spectrum of features where most people are closer to the median.
How do you know where’s tls terminated?
I've seen a lot of pompous threads and misinformation masquerading as facts threads but this one takes the cake for both on HN for me. I've never seen so many people high on themselves for investing in Tesla and Apple. I feel sorry for the people who read these comments or have to talk to these people about the market. Insufferable.
Currently using Prisma and Remix which both have some weight behind them and are pretty easy to get going with.
I liked working with FxCop and StyleCop.

I liked seeing the expressions of frustration when developers that were sloppy with their coding style were no longer able to get away with code that didn't meet the coding standards.

When it was adopted it literally made some people scream in frustration, and I loved it for that.

The default ruleset of StyleCop is absolutely brutal and unforgiving with messy code.
convenient list of charities I will no longer be supporting. This whole campaign is disgusting, and reminds me of the propaganda the government put out when the UK had a vote on vote reform.
The main important historical fact is the jump from .NET Framework to .NET Core.

Core is cross-platform, whereas Framework is Windows-only.

Also, some APIs were put in before generics were introduced and thus don't have type safety. The main ramification of this is to basically always use things in the System.Collections.Generic namespace over other collections.
Cross-Platform... as long as you don't use the GUI libs.

Sorry for the choice words, but shit like this makes my blood boil. You're not trying to "keep our children safe" motherfucker, and you know it. You're trying to prevent people from being able to have private conversations, so your secret agencies can harvest all the data from everyone easily. To phrase it as "but think of the children" is instrumentalizing the actual victims of child abuse and you should be ashamed.
Nice Article! Thanks for sharing
Rule of thumb is every space, except ones you'd normally put between quotes. so e.g.

foo quix-quiz "bar baz"

turns into

["foo", "quix-quiz", "bar baz"]

Though do note that you don't get an extra set of quotes on "bar baz" which is slightly confusing, but makes sense once you think about it a bit.
Its possible to replace the battery with a DC/DC adapter, I did it with a Samsung tablet. It does require a "beefy" power supply at a an odd voltage (4.2V or so) since batteries can provide more current than most power supplies. Also required a resistor to fool the tablet into thinking the battery was not drained.
> an alternative-history-IPv4 with "only" 48b addresses (instead of 64b or IPv6's 128b) would probably also been enough

MAC address can be assigned in arbitrarily small blocks whereas IP addresses must be assigned as large prefixes, ideally one prefix per org. Otherwise the internet routing table would be too large. I don’t think 2^48 is reasonable right now without NAT and it certainly won’t be enough in the near future.

Also 48b MAC addresses are kinda small. InfiniBand uses 64b and newer protocols should do the same.
They aren't. The Investigatory Powers Act just tightens the conditions/ circumstances under which it is supposed to happen.
The normal way to "work directly at IP level" (or even below) is to use a RAW socket. The kernel will deliver all traffic matching the IP (or other things - raw sockets can essentially own the whole NIC) to your socket, and from there it's all up to you. The kernel will only look at the IP headers, the rest of the packet (TCP/UDP headers specifying ports, for example, if any) will be delivered to the raw socket.

Not sure of the implementation details, but in principle the same logic about specificity of socket binding could be done by the kernel when deciding which socket to actually send the data to. Any other logic (CRC validation, packet ordering, confirming packets have been received, MSS etc.) are all disabled, you just get the raw packet as it was received on the wire, based on the IP headers (an the same happens when you send a packet on a raw socket).
You can tumble it, but Bitcoin is not private by default. It might provide opt-in privacy if you go out of your way to use mixing services.

> It is the most anonymous digital currency after cash cards.

Monero is far, far more private. There is a reason why most reputable cryptocurrency exchanges don't accept it and it's because of its privacy features.

These make it impossible to trace your transaction history (and comply with regulations), which is quite trivial to do with Bitcoin.
They're basically receipts for putting money into a lending pool. In this case he's lending about $130 million, on which he's earning interest, and can get his money back by redeeming those tokens.

If we in the industry have truly accepted that software is unavoidably crap, then we in the industry must also accept that it cannot be used is some contexts, like providing evidence in trials that may lead to incarceration. And we in the industry should say this loudly enough to convince the rest of society, or have enough of a backbone to refuse to build such software. Personally, I disagree that software is unavoidably crap and I feel like I as a professional have an ethical obligation to oppose the release of software until it meets the standard, or go public in cases where my company is trying to cover up a flaw with this kind of impact.

And quite rightly so. There's zero reason to use Discord when Matrix exists and has an almost identical UX.

Seems like .net shops uses DDD+CQRS+ES by default. Don't ask me why.
Marijn is a wizard and ProseMirror is an incredible piece of software, but Marijn isn't dealing with text rendering issues. I'm obviously oversimplifying but here goes: ProseMirror is a wrapper over contenteditable and gives us all the control we need. However, it's still the contenteditable that takes care of text rendering and cursor selections.

The real people dealing with those issues are folks working on Zoho Writer or Google Docs - who ship their own text layout engine as part of their rich text editor :)

If there's an open source initiative that wraps over ProseMirror but renders to their own layout engine - that would be a one kickass project!
Be careful. Down this path lies "the ISO is asking us to formally specify the mechanics of DOOM" and then the only resulting end game of that is "we got DOOM running on the ISO committee!"

Naturally I agree with you though. (Because we need DOOM running on more platforms~)

And I'd suggest Bad Apple also needs similar treatment.
To be honest the motivation to keep our children (or people more generally) safe seems way more clear to me that the motivation… to prevent people from having private conversations… to what end?
