> It certainly wasn’t written anticipating the development of the internet decades later and does not expressly prohibit the creation of a website identifying the POWs.

"Likewise, prisoners of war must at all times be protected, [...] against insults and public curiosity."

Having them state their full names on a YouTube video with comments certainly isn't protecting them against public curiosity or insults. What sort of mental gymnastics are required to reconcile those two?

If I actively tried to make a spectacle out of them, I couldn't do much better than that.

> If you are making the argument that Ukraine has violated the rights of POWs or any laws, the burden is on you to prove it,

No. I am trying to say that they should be treated better than what they are treated like right now. I am not arguing for anyone being tried for war crimes at some later date. Once the harm is done, that's for others to figure out. I'd rather no harm was done in the first place.

My argument isn't "look they're breaking the Geneva Convention", my argument is "what they're doing sucks, even the Geneva Convention has something to say about it". If that came across differently at some point, my bad.

> Out of curiosity what experience do you have in these matters? Do you work for the UN? Are you a lawyer that works for the International Criminal Court? You seem so sure of your interpretation of the Convention, yet have no support for the same.

You might want to try that in a place that cares about these things. I heard people typically put their credentials on their Twitter bio, so maybe that place is a better fit?

My credentials are an adequate command of the English language, allowing me to read and understand article 13 of the third geneva convention. In fact it says the same thing when I look it up in other languages I speak.
The author has had much better luck than I've had, apparently. Tried it twice (last night and tonight) on openSUSE Tumbleweed + AMD graphics, first time with the latest stable Proton, and second with Proton Experimental. Performance on "high" settings is still somewhat worse than I'd expect, and the game freezes for me whenever I'd go through anything resulting in a loading spinner. Oh, and enemies are invisible, but apparently that's an issue for a lot of folks on Windows, too.

On the bright side, with Proton Experimental, multiplayer features do work, which is awesome. Hopefully more EAC-using games enable Proton support.
Having worked through that, I'm wondering when exactly we stopped working. Was it when we spent long hours for a week in mid-March 2020 figuring out how to deliver instruction virtually for an undetermined period of time? Or was it summer 2000 when we were attending virtual seminars and creating collaborations among teachers and researchers, and researching how to provide hybrid instruction, and working with our tech departments and communities to figure out how to make it work? Or was it the 2020-2021 academic year when we simultaneously taught students in class and at home, trying to provide equivalent experiences in each lesson? Or was it in the beginning of the 2021-2022 school year, when we were fully in person with no legal option to teach remotely regardless of conditions, and watched rising infection rates but had no recourse because the anti-mask anti-vax crowd were packing school board meetings to protest the only protection we still had and accusing us of "not working"?
If treated as a closed system, the claim would indeed be violating the second law of thermodynamics. If it's treated as an open system, then well yeah... the "limitless" energy is actually coming from outside the boundaries of the system, which they conveniently neglect to track. No magic to be had here, but a cool way to convert energy...
>also referred to as the "BP oil spill")

I think you're missing the point. That fragment being present in the wikipedia article just means... wikipedia recognizes that some people also refer to the incident as the "BP oil spill". I have no problem with people wanting it to call it the "BP oil spill". It might even be the correct term. After all, in the final judgement BP was found 67% responsible. What I do have a problem with is the parent post's accusation that BP paid "media" to 'rename the "BP oil spill" to "Deepwater oil spill"' for "good publicity" reasons. That's not supported by the evidence because news coverage referred to it as "Deepwater oil spill" and not "BP oil spill" from day 1, and that it's pretty common to not mention the company name in energy related accidents (see my other comment).
It's interesting to read "if you use mixes, you don't understand ingredients" from people who then use "flour" without any specifics.

There are hundreds if not thousands of flours and each cake mix has a mix of flours.

How many people have more than four flours? How many emulsifiers?
This is... not a very balanced perspective. Most engs I know are happy with their jobs or will career switch, very few are trying to start businesses.

I personally agree with most of the article but I know that's not a super common response to these values.

It's almost certain that the US and UK governments are feeding the Ukraine CIA satellite data. There's no need for them to go to Google/Apple for geolocation data, which is significantly less reliable (why would a soldier carry a consumer cell phone with geolocation turned on?) and exposes tech companies to all sorts of questions about user trust and international legality.
Ah this brings back memories. I laid out the entire High School yearbook using Aldus Pagemaker, almost 400 pages. Good times.
And that perspective is clearly insane.

Not "medically insane", I'm talking like "Hitler insane" (who IIRC, was never actually proven to be crazy or with an actual medical disability). Attacking peaceful nations for no reason is warmongering and clearly evil... but doubly so when they're effectively brother countries.

Ask HN: Is there a smart mirror with HDMI input?
I'm looking to build a raspberry pi smart mirror.

On Amazon and AliExpress, there are a bunch of Android-based smart mirrors with pre-built operating systems.

On the other hand, there are a lot of DIY guides where you build the mirror from scratch, including cutting wood and attaching the mirror.

What I'd like is just the smart mirror, pre-built, but as a display only. I want to attach the HDMI cable and control the display using a raspberry pi.

Is there anywhere I can just buy the smart mirror, without operating system, and without having to build it myself?
Hm I don't follow ... The narrow waist claims I'm making is only indirectly related to performance. I think you would have to define "intermediate" and "end" in Unix, ISAs, etc. It's not clear what analogy you're making.

The claim you're making appears to be very strong: the narrow waist idea is a special case of the end-to-end principle? Is this something you are asserting now, or has something been written about it by you or others?

As mentioned I see them as distinct in networking ... and when extended to software, I barely see the relation. I am purposely extending the "meta-idea" to software; this comment shows where it's going:

https://old.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/t2bapy/the_int...

A critique I'd see as more valid is that a "narrow waist" is simply a "standard". That is by far the closer idea, not the end-to-end principle.

But I will justify the term and make the definition crisper. All the comments here and elsewhere have convinced me of that, e.g. https://lobste.rs/s/o3rjb0/internet_was_designed_with_narrow...

People understand what I'm saying, they are able to apply it, and they see the consequences...

I will mention related concepts like Metcalfe's law, and maybe the end-to-end principle, but that one seems the least relevant.

I'd definitely be interested in reading an article that claims otherwise though!

---

To answer the first question, the moving waists are motivated by real world usage, i.e. engineering requirements. The waist is a big engineering compromise. IP doesn't have auth or content caching; HTTP has that. People who want that functionality start building on that layer, etc.

Scaling and increase in nodes is another example of pressure on the waist, e.g. the need for NAT traversal
> not introverted as in neurodivergent

There is no such concept; introversion-extraversion is a dimension on which people vary.

Ask HN: How can I see my screens without needing glasses
The worst part of my day is when I put on my glasses. I hate wearing glasses. They're never clean, I can always see dust and lens flares which means all my software has to be in nightmode. I can feel them on my ears all the time, it doesn't matter how good my glasses are I'm just constantly aware of my ears. I hate breaking them in, I've been wearing the same glasses for 5 years. And contacts are not a good solution for me, (this is literally just me) the first time I fail to get one in my mind is filled with every frustrating event thats ever happened to me and I can't continue.

The correct solution for me is to get my eyes lasered, but thats expensive, dangerous, and involves a recovery period.

I don't mind wearing my glasses all day. I just wanted to ask if someone knew a better way?
Human seconds or CPU seconds?
ESP32 / STM32 can do a whole heck of a lot, they're getting popular in modular synths now too. AFAIK a lot of vehicles use RTOSes for anything related to driving / vehicle stability, but I think they can use mostly whatever for infotainment, and that "whatever" seems to be largely low / mid-range stuff running absolutely garbage software that only gets updated if NHTSA makes them.
The thing is, this has been completely predictable to US intelligence. So, he’s “off” but predictably-phased?

That's fair; but keep in mind that the size of "one onion" can vary drastically by region, so giving an objective measurement is still helpful.

Ups and FedEx halting shipments to Russia and Ukraine
I get what you’re saying from a philosophical perspective, but I think there are a lot of developers and shops that might care more about achieving this “anti-SaaSification” goal than they do about what the FSF thinks.

You can try and use terminology like “EULAs” to liken them to big corporations that restrict usage, but so long as it’s an instance of “the little guy” restricting usage on the part of “the big guy”, I have a feeling those criticisms might not stick.

I’m not saying they’re right necessarily, just that falling back on definitions like the FSD in arguments presupposes that the people you’re talking to know what the FSD is, care about it and share your belief system.
By “high end semiconductor” do we only mean small process size? There are other areas of “high end” capability, like the efficiency gains promised from using more exotic semiconductor materials.
Exactly.

It’s not leaving for a 30% raise.

There is a compounding effect.

You’re leaving so that in a few years it’s a 200-300% raise relative to what you’re making now.

That said, I don’t begrudge anyone staying for “love”. If you’re happy then that’s great. I’m happiest when I’m at least making an effort to make as much as I can.
I’ve done part time and managed somebody doing part time. The biggest issue is that you have everybody else not tracking hours at all, just thinking about the work that needs to be done and one person who is militantly tracking hours to ensure that the exit the moment the clock hits the hours limit.

It gets weird on a team of full timers if the part time person is expected to interact with the full timers at all, especially if they are all working and need to communicate with the person but they are out.

Believe me, I sympathize though. It does create a strange dynamic though.
> You can see that in their logistics chain fumbling after the first forty-eight hours.

Do you have more on the specifics of what happened here? I don't recall reading much about their supply line issues, but granted I haven't looked specifically for it yet.
Nope, won't happen. In fact, their argument is straight-up incorrect:

> The first software was designed for, or sold to individual hardware manufacturers and distributed free with the hardware. In the next stage it was sold directly to end users. Next, it was sold under a subscription model to end users. In five years, it will be metered by the nanosecond to end users. This is not only predictable, but inevitable.

The kind of software they are talking about (operating systems, word processors and other enterprise productivity software) was never given out for free, and the volume sold directly to end users was (and is) negligible. It was always a per-user license negotiated between sales and procurement teams since back when business software first became a thing, and will be so for the foreseeable future.

To me, the people who need convincing don’t handle/care about the abstract threat like climate change as well as one where a nation invades another. I’m not sure how to convince those people either (or where ‘blame’ should be had here, education systems?). Do you?

Also, per your argument about BP wrt other rivals for most environmentally damaging activities exist - perhaps you should reorient the argument ( for the sake of better conversation) towards the pros/cons of having people consume less fossil fuel a time where the majority of people driving (in developed nations) also sit for hours on end (with obesity rates as high as they are too). Perhaps we should give up the need for fossil fuel and pick up the need to bicycle, walk around, and purchase less stuff - rather than thinking a corporation and it’s shareholders will change their ways.
I think they mean terrorists as in, literally committing acts of terror - like January 6, or Charlottesville.
In typical US usage, we have (parentheses), [brackets], and {braces}, but the terms vary regionally in confusing ways. I think the word "parentheses" is unambiguous, but using the terms "square brackets" and "curly braces" avoids confusion.
The year of the Linux desktop did not happen and will not happen, if we consider the actual GNU+systemd+curl+gstreamer+freetype+Wayland/Xorg+Gtk/Qt+.... as the desktop layer. None of those projects have shared goal of actually making a useful system with stable API / ABI. Moreover, there is already quite a bit competition inside like Qt vs GTK.

What made Android successful is Google seeing that mess and creating an entirely new operating system, from kernel to especially userspace. Android in a way turns Linux into a system that is much closer to a microkernel based OS. The binder IPC on the kernel side resembles the message passing systems of microkernels and almost all communication, except a couple of system stuff, passes through it. From allocating display buffers to "Share" buttons all of them uses this system. It has nothing to do with classical desktop system nor the Unix "way" of doing things, which is oversimplifying the system layer to the point of almost uselessness.

While the build system of AOSP and Android apps gives me shivers, the OS works beautifully and it can be continuously upgraded and be kept secure, if greedy SoC and device manufacturers released driver updates.

I don’t have much input on whether the gist of this is solid or not but it’s a very poorly structured wager. I can see unlimited ways in which the outcome could be disputed, such as Microsoft having tiers of office with different names, all of which don’t match what is listed and some charging that way and some not.

This favors the challenger because they’re more likely to get a clear win.

If I were this person I’d do a lot of clarification.

The fall of Google and Facebook, Clearview AI and their ilk creeping in, like IRS facial recognition, and gradual adoption of sane privacy laws at the local and state levels. Boomers dying out and generation X on up will hopefully increase the number of technologically competent individuals in congress, too.

Right now, I see Google and Facebook as the only relevant fingers in the dykes. There are clear and grotesque violations of privacy happening that we simply don't have a proper framework for, and these companies are ruthlessly fighting to keep the profit flowing, despite the social costs.

I hope we can collectively get it right within 20 years, but access to the literal inner workings of a mind is a pretty simple example of private data everyone will want to be protected. Maybe. Hopefully.
Yeah, this is admittedly a problem. I don't have a great solution other than relentless education, which is... hard. Especially at scale.

From a cultural side, some companies have a competency pillar that is supposed to embody the idea of being a "good person". In mine, we call it "Citizenship", it's tied to performance appraisal and interviewing is one way to develop that competency.

As for code cleanliness, I've passed candidates with messy or even broken code before, if the candidate demonstrated competence in enough other aspects and the code quality issues can be attributed to nervousness or running out of time half way through a refactor or whatever.
> Step 5: Stick a reverse proxy in front that deletes the source code offer (No license implication, does not modify the AGPL software in any way, see Clause 9)

> Heck, this situation could easily happen semi-organically - a reverse proxy doesn't have to be designed to explicitly remove the source code offer, it could merely be a protocol translator/wrapper that has no support for that specific message/tag, which is something that happens all the time.

Hmm I would be unsurprised a judge interprets the writing/configuring of a reverse proxy that modifies the HTML output or blocks access to some pages to be the same thing as editing the AGPL code yourself.

Though if I’m right, this implies that anything (load balancer, templating engine, protocol conversion, auth, etc) that calls an AGPL app also has to be open sourced even if the AGPL app is unmodified and doesn’t call any of your code. I can see why pretty much every company bans the use (freedom 0) of AGPL even on dev laptops: https://opensource.google/documentation/reference/using/agpl...
When thinking about neutrality, it's worth comparing the Ukraine-Russia relationship to that of Vietnam-China, another case of dealing with an aggressive big neighbor. Despite having many disputes with China on the sea, as well as the shadow of the 1979 invasion still looming, Vietnam has a clear "four-nos" policy, which means no military alliance, no affiliation with one country to counteract the other, no foreign military base in the Vietnamese territory to act against other countries, and no force or threatening to use force in international relations.

Get an offer from another FAANG and then have your current team match it.

I have managed people in your situation and, honestly, nothing makes me happier than being able to match the incoming offer because the internal system makes it impossible for me to do the right thing.

There were N ps5’s and there are still N ps5’s. The only change is from first come first serve to a market price. Without those scalpers, those units that you can buy today would already be owned by end users. Instead they’re sitting with the scalpers.

I find hanging out and having a good chat with a close friend always energises me while a chat with anyone else drains me. I think the key difference is that I don’t need to worry about how my close friends will think. I know that they will accept whatever I say, so my brain isn’t using as much energy as talking to strangers. Besides, I think things like feeling heard/affirmed goes a long way in feeling energised, so I don’t think it’s strictly physics here.
