His numbered list of issues makes perfect sense. And apparently he has solved all of those problems?

This feels like one of those projects that corrects some structural flaws in the status quo.Therefore it should be commended and adopted.

However, since the judgement and behavioral patterns of most humans is very similar to that of ruminants, the likely response will be indifference or hostility.

And I would (and have) certainly chosen to retire 10 years earlier over a few extra days of vacation. 365 days of vacation beats 30. But hey, if you enjoy that €30,000 salary, more power to you. You can certainly eke out an existence, while you share that bathroom with your flatmates.
Crossposting from other active thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30449831): This is an unmitigated tragedy. There are reports of explosions even in the capital, Kyiv. I used to work in the region and Ukrainians are some of the brightest, hardest working, and passionate people (at least when it comes to advocating for democracy from the people I met in Kyiv) I've gotten to know. A freelance correspondent on twitter I follow posted a thread on charities to donate to for those so inclined (disclosure, I haven't done due diligence on them): https://twitter.com/olgatokariuk/status/1496486993848643584
I'm sorry, but this sounds like my 13-year old daughter rambling about why her desktop has become complex and why not be just like the simple iPad. However, we may not like it; there will always be a file system - for things to have a location.

Yes, we can encapsulate and put a different layer on it -- tags, containers, types, relationships. However, understanding how they (the file system) work would be an immense help.

I have been teaching my daughter how files are located, added, size and why these details matter.
It's a little bit scary. It would be interesting to see the full money trail behind fox news and its celebrities.
There are many indigenous plant species that do not germinate by fire (e.g., northofagus) and these populations are under threat as fires encroach on areas that have long been refuge for fire-sensitive plants. If a fire wipes out these populations, gum trees grow in their place and it takes up to half a millennium for these to die off. On the other hand, fire-tolerant plants are plentiful in places like Australia.
I'm guessing the idea is all grant research should serve some educational purpose for the grad students- is that the idea ?
The ego of one man will result in massive bloodshed and an international crisis. This is absolutely insane.
I wonder if you could shadow ban the videos, like by spoofing a page only the uploader can see.
I was always annoyed by the loading screen when moving by boat between west and east continents.

I guess this loading screen was added due to technical reasons. Likely each continent was managed by a different server.

Another loading screen that I didn't like, was the underground tram between Stormwind and Ironforge. It made the tram feel fake (which I guess it was). Would have been awesome if it really was an underground tram that ran under the game world.

These 2 loading screens broke te immersion a little bit.
Even back then using IP address only wasn’t how we profiled. If the poster meant literally basing this on IP only, then yeah, I sort of agree.

But a false positive here just means someone can access the video who isn’t supposed to access it. Without the system in place anyone can access it.

>Auden was forever concerned with the plight of refugees and the displaced, whether they were fleeing Hitler, Franco, Stalin or the general carnage of postwar Europe. Democratic nations always turned them away for the same reason—and still do:

“Came to a public meeting; the speaker got up and said;
‘If we let them in, they will steal our daily bread’:
He was talking of you and me, my dear, he was talking of you and me.”
At these unprecedented times like this I wish the United Nations can take decisive actions against aggression of this nature.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the citizens of Ukraine, stay strong.
Unbelievable. They talk a big game when it comes to freedom but are supporting a repressive dictator who hates their freedom.
The altimeter does not want to know the average distance to the ground over a several square mile region. It wants to know the distance to the ground directly under the aircraft.
Murdoch has some grand plans and he’s by all means getting away with them pretty damn easily.
Framework code you call into can block so long as it makes forward progress. Deadlocks happen if you lock a thread in the shared Concurrency thread pool, and expect some other code running in the same thread pool to do the unlocking.

But if you’re calling into framework code which is using GCD, the queues it dispatches into will be run on a separate GCD thread pool. If said framework code is using a semaphore or lock to block your calling (Concurrency) thread, then it stands to reason there’s another thread in the GCD pool which will eventually unlock it. (Or else it’s a deadlock no matter what you do.)

I haven’t come across any framework code which violates this, although maybe you’ve run into problems I haven’t.
This is such a tragedy. Two close countries with shared histories are being put to war and many innocents will die because of a crazed maniac who has been sitting on his chair for 20 years and who has delusions of grandeur.

6 months from now Apple might have used WWDC to completely flip the table on VR/AR. Extremely interested to see what they have coming and I don't think it's going to be a way to manage traditional flat applications. This doesn't take away from how awesome Simula One looks but it's still an elephant in the room.
Dallas is the 9th (soon to be 8th) biggest city in the US at 1.4M people in its city limits alone. DC is about half that size. That’s not including the 800k within Fort Worth just 30 miles away from downtown Dallas.

DFW metro area is about 7-8M people as of 2022. That puts its the fourth largest metro area in the country, behind only NYC, Los Angeles, and Chicago (which it will also soon pass, if migration trends continue), respectively.

I think by all metrics Dallas is much bigger than DC. Though if you’ve only ever lived on the coasts, that may surprise you.

I rerolled Hunter to Fury Warrior and my god there was nothing like seeing critical numbers continue to skyrocket each week as raid gear progressed.

The theorycraft was a real love affair, constantly searching on Thottbot.
But the answer to this isn't to just let fires start whenever and not put them out. When they start on hot, windy days they can destroy cities. The right answer is some combination of controlled burns (on cool days) and stopping random wildfires as soon as they start.
how can government regulate bitcoin if shops start accepting it?
Not saying they can’t but i’m just curious what this would mean.

It would not be the first time store decide to accept an unofficial currency
They are at the edge of current RAM limits of 52-bits (I believe this is the case on both x86 and ARM systems).

If they could get a system with the full 64-bits of addressable RAM, they'd likely have gone even bigger.
Every year the federal government is creating trillions of new dollars diluting the value of your money and shifting the wealth to whoever gets their hands on that new currency, which is mostly large corporations and the wealthy.

Early adopters making a bunch of money doesn't concern me at all because that's a short-term issue compared to the USD wealth transfer which will continue forever into the future.

Crypto is new, and there's definitely a lot of volatility there with new coins popping up and being destroyed far more frequently than legacy currencies. I expect this will die down over time.

FWIW my time horizon for thinking about these things is 50+ years.

Imagine I tried to convince you to use my new foo-coin. The hand full people of who have the most foo-coins can issue themselves as many new foo-coins as they want, but nobody else can create any foo-coins. You would probably think this is a nonsensical currency that no one would think is reasonable to use. Except that is practically how the USD works. The USD is designed specifically for the purposes of corruption.
Pretty sure Russia is in rotation to be head of the UN Security Council right now. Not sure how that's working out.
For reference (this person lives in Kiev not near the border):
Hi! Yes, at the moment we're ok and continue the work as usual. I saw news on cnn saying a journalist heard some bombs in Kiev, but I live in Kiev and everything is quite here. Perhaps that can be a mass media manipulation, as Russia haven't entered Ukraine, they keep their military near the borders and in Donetsk, Lughansk.
The problem is that it unnecessarily tarnished the people pushing for a union into the conspiracy theorist bucket, and so delegitimizing any actual valid points that they might otherwise have.

They’re also ostensibly meant to be selling these products so should be up to date on the platform security, enough to know what is, and what is not, possible.

It’s not unreasonable that they don’t understand the technical details, but they should be able to say “apple says thing X is protected by system Y, and no researchers have found any flaw in that”.

Also this is apple store employees - the number of devices apple makes is tiny, and so knowing how such things work over that small a set of items is a perfectly reasonable thing to expect.

If you were at some big box retailer (target, asda, etc) then I would be more forgiving about not knowing product details because at that scale it’s unreasonable to expect any employee to know all of the details of all of the items.
I can't even fathom what this means. Ukraine is not a significant trade partner of the US, nor is it in NATO or even the EU. They don't store our missiles as part of a strategic defense system the way Poland and Turkey do.

Edit: Thinking about it more: what could it mean for this to be a negative thing? It's presumably not even about Ukraine's autonomy, since Carlson seems okay with said autonomy not existing under a Russian imposed state.
Whichever offsets the most fossil fuel usage.
The biggest loss will be the interesting subreddits like that one. Reddit killed off forums and became the empire that has had its dominion over most of the niche interests. Unfortunately, as Reddit has been growing bigger and bigger and tries harder to cater to the lowest common denominator, the rot seems to be trickling down to even the niche subs. For programming and the like, there’s HN. But for much of anything else, the alternatives are long dead.

The real question is not whether Reddit is rotting, but of where to go after it?
He ain't wrong. U.S. involvement there has been... intense, for lack of a better word, for decades.
Thank you! I dont have pihole but i think i can figure out something. I didnt realize there was a way to declare how to treat links in iOS. This was so helpful!
I love the feature that you can have subscribe to channels without an account. However, there is a bug with a screen not going full screen having to pause and unpause video playback in order to go full screen. A bug that's been around for quite some time that is annoying.
Head or otherwise, they've got a permanent veto on anything the Security Council does. So do China, the US, France, and the UK.
Well, on the one hand, I tend to agree, but on the other hand, we should explore these concepts more deeply. The Von Neumann computing architecture hasn't changed in like 80 years and is still pretty darn dominant. I am fine with people exploring this space without dismissing them out of hand. Sure, file systems don't seem like they are going anywhere in their present form, but this is how we advance computing. Paradigm shifts can and will happen, eventually.
If you're looking for a less overwhelming yet still complete colony management sim, Rimworld has gained a lot of (frankly well-deserved) traction recently. You won't be doing as much micromanagement as you would in DF, but the gameplay is slimmed down such that you can realistically learn it over the course of a playthrough while still having fun.

I still prefer the denser sim titles like SS13 and DF, but I'll almost always reach for Rimworld if I want some no-fuss fun. Just be careful around the modding rabbit hole...
Has attacked or is attacked?
I think it was the stylization. Everything looks hand drawn, like the old AD&D books of the 80s. Had they used modern graphics at the time, it would look dated; instead they used art that has more staying power.

Also, I think the fun of the game helped endear the zones. If the game was terrible, the game (and therefore the zones) would be much less memorable.
Yep, Everything is a game changer. I don't worry much about where a file is any more, I just worry about giving it a good filename. Then I will always be able to find it, wherever it is.

Be sure to set a hotkey for it. I use Ctrl+Shift+Spacebar since it didn't seem to conflict with anything else.

Of course before you can use Everything, you have to find Everything. Here's where:

I don't know why you were downvoted. This is absolutely true and even the biggest x86 systems don't address more than 52-bits.
Don't see the point personally, even €400 phones have 256 gigabyte storage. And that will only increase as time goes on.
Again, people aren't complaining that they protested illegally, they are complaining that the protesters are physically and verbally harassing them beyond every reasonable degree.

The quote you brought out does not say that an illegal protest is the basis for using emergency powers. It says that an illegal occupation is the basis.

We have had many many "illegal" protests where streets have been blocked temporarily and there were no calls to break out the emergency act.
Slow mode was designed to minimse (which included delaying) display updating. So you could type a bunch and only when you stopped typing would you see the display update to the final state -- intermediate states weren't rendered (so you could type ab<delete><delete>cd and only after you stoped typing would you see "cd"

Printing terminal mode with similar in that it showed only the line you were on, and, IIRC, optionally the line above or below. This worked pretty well in Emacs where search is extremely lightweight and is (for most people at least) the primary cursor movement tool. Of course deletion couldn't display properly so you would get a marker on the screen (#?) to indicate, and then ^L would draw the then current copy of the line.

You could write this support today, and perhaps someone has, but I wonder if it could possibly be worth it.

This same reason is why the unix terminal driver by default starts up with # as the delete character command and @ deleted the whole line. That line discipline dates back to Multics, which had more efficient I/O as the Multics hardware had channel controllers (all our I/O is done with channel controllers these days, though we don't call them that).

Actually, speaking of channel controllers: Emacs had a third mode: if you used the SUPDUP protocol (stood for super duper: roc 739, 746, 749) a bunch of the IO and screen update was done by your local host, not the remote machine on which you were running Emacs (or whatever). It implemented an abstract display and could even interpret a few commands to display the local buffer properly like a souped-up channel controller! This all predated Unix on the arpanet so later approaches went in a different direction.

But remember this was back when you could have dozens of people using networked computers with clock speeds in the hundreds of kilohertz or less, back before the cross continent backbone was upgraded to ~56 Kbps.
WoW was some of the best years of my life. Not in a depressing way. Truly a ton of fun and good memories. For a while I actually missed certain zones as if they were places I missed visiting in life. I haven’t played WoW since Wrath of the Lich King. It’s been 12-13 years and I still occasionally miss my characters.

WoW really hit certain things that appealed to many different people.
There is a beta feature you can enable to shutdown any open tunnel from the dashboard. It’s under tunnel agent, status.

I use this every day because I always forget to shut down the agent on my home computer before going to the office.
This is insane.

I honestly thought it wouldn't get to this point. Like what is the upside here (for Putin)? They can't expect to occupy Ukraine. Regime change?

The US and NATO won't want to get into direct military conflict with Russia so Ukraine looks like they just have to take an L and Russia gets hit with more sanctions.

The sad part (beyond the obvious tragedy of war) is that Russia actually had a point: if the tables were turned, the US wouldn't accept a hostile military alliance on its border so why should Russia? Worse, the US and NATO didn't really want Ukraine in NATO either because they don't want to get dragged into a war (as they would now be if Ukraine was a NATO member) but they don't want to say that or make that concession.

But that doesn't matter now. Any legitimate points Putin had are irrelevant because they don't justify invasion.

Spotlight on mac. I use recoll on my Linux machine and let it update every few days. Fast local file system indexing is amazing and abstracts away a lot of file system pain. You often don't even need to name files particularly well to find what you want if you index file contents as well.
Russia poisoned Ukraine's president with dioxin after their preferred candidate lost in 2005.
Obscure tech is also an opportunity to be one of those rare specialists in a field. A Linux expert still gets rewarded more than a Windows one in a desktop management role, though it's certainly harder to find a job in the first place.

But this is also a personality thing. I prefer being a specialist on something unique over one of many on a big team.

I agree with you that when the obscure tech is simply the wrong one for the scenario, it's bad. If you don't believe in it yourself it's really hard to commit to it. In that case it's probably better to find another position or even another company..

I’ve been force carbonating since this summer. Have a few 2 liter bottles in the fridge with cold water at all times. A great, cheap, healthy alternative to other beverages like soda or beer.
Russia just attacked Ukrainian cities by rockets.
Funny thing about poetry, as an artform, it's defined by the necssary condition that by the time we are able to fully appreciate it, it's already too late. It's like a form of comedy, but instead of punchlines you get these wryly buried landmines that you only appreciate in a future where you've stepped on one, and it's a very different kind of laughter. Sometimes when I read Auden, I wonder if he was really writing a kind of curse for us to discover just in the moment where it clicks that we are here because we have failed to take heed.

Poignant, anyway.
This now puts a HUGE target on ProofPoint. My guess: Akamai buys them in the next 12 months.
Yes, binary size, deployment size, deployment time, LoC, source code zipped size, number of directories in GitHub, number of repositories in GitHub. I have heard all kind of VC metrics to increase ‘success’ of being believable by partners, clients and VCs. Small and lean is something ‘they’ generally do not believe anymore.

In a rather successful business I had, I had a product of a few 100kb which installed easily on servers; just ./install.sh. Someone told me that this was really not smart. The script downloaded it’s dependencies (just rpm install; nothing proprietary) and then it copied the binary to /use/local/bin. I figured I could fix 2 issues at once; people running other distros complained that it did (obviously) not work; in our target audience, well over 90% ran rpm based distros, mostly centos. This was before Docker etc so I changed the install to apt-get and included a zipped chrooted Debian with everything already installed in it. Suddenly install.sh was over 100s of mbs and worked on any x86 Linux. It indeed made sales jump with people saying in forums that ours was bigger than even the largest competitor install download so it must be better. It is lame but true; especially when people pay for stuff, they want to get bang for their buck.
how much harder. If Canadians government make some bitcoin radioactive i’m sure bitcoin trader in china would not mind giving me ETH in exchange for some bitcoin.
This war is about more than just Putin.

Research: George Friedman, Peter Zeihan, John Mearsheimer, Peter Hitchens, Noam Chomsky (more of an ideologue), etc. on this issue. You can start on YouTube OR read their books, I guess.
They split off from O’Reilly and formed Maker Media, which shuttered. The assets were purchased and transformed into a non-profit. Make is generic, but as far as branding goes, I’m fairly certain if you’d asked around, most people associate it with the magazine/events/culture.
