No, the major problem of tar is 'it is not indexable'. In any case, browse a tar means you need to scan the whole achieve to locate all files and generate the entry list. And of course it get slower when the files are a lot or archive is big. This is a format even worse than zip.(Zip do have a central record section)

And it also suffer the same problem from zip: the charset is undefined. Because they are older then the time utf-8 being the universal standard. Which means it mess up when two systems are in different charset and software is not smart enough to guess it.

These problems are all addressed in later format(rar/7z). Newer archive format most enforcing utf-8 charset. So you won't have a problem that file name suddenly turn into garbage for no reason.

It's probably the worst format you can chose if you need to distribute a file instead using it as a pack/extract on local only format(not even browse).

It isn't that the whole world is energy deficient (in any real sense), it's that key modern economies have become reliant on specific sources, and interruptions in those sources make them very vulnerable to very expensive impacts. So they're blackmailable.

And lots of cheap energy and global trade is almost like heroin for dealing with internal problems and social ills - no need to confront inefficiencies, figure out sane monetary policies, have hard conversations on hard topics, etc.

So a lot of countries have pent up BS that will tear them apart when the heroin (I mean oil) stops flowing.

You seem to be right, it was a military-industrial move by the Soviet Union to counter the Strategic Defense Initiative (Star Wars). Having read a briefing describing the rocket involved, it Star Wars was cutting-edge 2060's technology that happened to be possible in the 80's due to a long list of edge cases.

Well in the end, those neon producers harmed capitalism as intended.
I'm not sure why you expect some guy to give up more of his life for principles. I think he's done enough and having to flee your country for fear of reprisals is already no picnic. The people who have power to actually force change w.r.t. Putin are our western elected leaders and we should be holding them to account.

> He’d be the first modern hero we’ve had if he came back and forced the government to imprison him.

What about Chelsea Manning and Reality Winner? The fact that you forgot about them already suggests that such an act from Snowden would be ultimately meaningless.
The docs for my version of rsnapshot say not to use '--link-dest' if GNU cp is available, because the script will use 'cp -l' instead when copying "daily-1" to "daily-0" (for example). This is before it will overwrite "daily-0" with new files via rsync.

Russians living in London and Paris are already the most anti-Putin/United Russia electorate. We would be hitting at the pro-West and westernized Russians, not to mention that we would have to carve exceptions all the time for political dissidents fleeing Russia.
The second main reason is that it would remove the need for Putin to impose capital controls since the main place these funds would go are western banks.
I understand the sentiment and why this might sound a good idea, but it would be very counterproductive.
> some military expenditures are concealed under other civilian items

That's the main point. And as if you they'll tell you real numbers.

Either way, no need in all this demagoguery. I already explained the basic idea - Putin will stop only when stopped and none of the above is really relevant to that.
The question is would it be so costly that YouTube's profitability would look significantly different, and at that point would Google want to keep running YouTube?

I'm not sure, but I don't think the answer is that it obviously won't materially change YouTube's profitability.
Well there are a few 'alternative' social networks, but they weren't very successful (gab, parler, truth social is the latest one iirc).
The site is definitely legit and linked to the Ukrainian government. Now hopefully, the money will actually serve the intended goal and not land into some official's pockets... I'm just stating the facts of the region, nothing more.

I would (and will) personally give money to NGO like the red cross or doctor without borders if they intend to intervene in Ukraine, rather than the military.
True, but weeks ago their dictator was still trying to maintain the farse that the Russian troops were only present for exercises and would leave then. And its rumored the "referendum" planned for 3 days from now will settle it.

I do agree though, this is most likely just the nature of the problem of trying to moderate such a massive amount of video content.

Then I bought a bunch of french books for my daughter and learnt I knew nothing.

Was it really the case that you didn't know anything in the books? That would be very surprising. At the very least you'd expect to recognize vocabulary you've encountered before, even if the sentences weren't familiar. I'd have thought after 500 * 15 minutes you'd be able to figure some things out.

As it is though, even if the books were completely unfamiliar, I don't really know how you'd measure or test that Duolingo had had no impact on you. Obviously if a book has vocabulary in it that you've not encountered on Duolingo then you're not going to know what it means, but how could you know that you aren't picking up new things faster because you've worked through Duolingo first?

My experience of it has been very different. I work through Duolingo courses for languages I build software in. I've not spent anywhere close to 500 days on any language yet, but I've found I am able to work with languages better having done a few months of Duolingo courses. When I've been working on German and Spanish websites I've actually understood much more of the text than I could with websites I haven't learnt any of. I mean, I couldn't drop in to Madrid and have a chat with someone, but it definitely has made a difference.
The snapshots don't help with the speed.

Instead, they make sure the files aren't changing / being deleted between when the rsync starts and finishes.
Well one issue is that people who have been in prison often cannot ever vote again, so the only people left to make decisions about the prison system are those who have never experienced it firsthand
All this has happened before.[1] I guess the safest alternative is to screen customers from Belarus, Ukraine and Russia till the situation becomes clear.

People fear being jailed, tortured and having their lives ruined by its own government much more than any consequences of economic sanctions.
Instead of sanctions, Germany could break ground on fifty nuclear power plants tomorrow. That seems like it might actually give Russia pause.
its tough to have discussion on this topic because HN users were triggered and flagging all of my comments without allowing me to explain through logic and call for calm.

its outright censorship, which to me is the biggest irony of it all. An open society is no more privy to censorship than closed ones, the only difference is that you all pat yourself on the back for being 'right' or whatever it is you are being fed by the media and your political nest
I’m guessing it would work to arrange to have an IP originating in the UK.
>Russia has also been building an in-house system since 2014—the last time SWIFT cutoff was threatened—which may mean they are able to temper some of the impact a cutoff would have on its economy.

If they're building a replacement, doesn't that also mean we should use "cut off SWIFT" now, rather than later when it'll be ineffective?
That's been US policy since 1945.
Isn't Belarus a dictatorship? If so, that's such a nice thing for a dictator to do.
I'm sorry to have triggered you. I didn't mean to sound like that was a sacrifice.

Elderly and poor will be hurt the most, that is true. If the source I linked to is correct, it claims it would only impact 10% of demand. While I don't know what that would look like in practice. I sincerely hope (and expect) that it would not lead to anyone, including the vulnerable, freezing to death, or getting seriously ill.

India has a different perspective for what does that exactly entail. India has its own UPI and Rupay systems. It sure would see SWIFT falling.
This is what I exactly want, and I believe it will happen in the long run. We need a convenient/fast/reliable way of hosting content in global scale and incentivize who host content.

Still not there, once it gets there it will revolutionize media.

Yet we definitely need something different than BitTorrent, Tor, or IPFS. Something that incentivizes hosting and creation of an economy around this is a must.
I linked the Sarajevo Survival Guide in another thread (about refugees) today, but it's again relevant. One of the things it points out is that a "disaster" isn't always an all or nothing deal. In many likely scenarios (including the siege of Sarajevo), skills like carpentry, mechanics and ham radio operators were in high demand.
We're literally in a thread about a guarantee that Rust kept (but C++ didn't) for filesystem APIs.

So "related to memory corruption" is either a deliberately vague statement such that you can count "deleted files you didn't intend" as "memory corruption" or you're missing the true extent of what's offered here.

Type safety could also be argued to just be about "memory corruption" but because of the newtype idiom Rust's type safety ensures all sorts of critical things that you wouldn't associate with "memory corruption" as it is ordinarily understood, starting with obvious built-ins like str really being UTF-8 and Saturating<i16> really having saturating arithmetic operations despite only being an ordinary 16-bit integer - but building up to Mutex<Thing> genuinely not letting you access the Thing without taking the Mutex, and GPIO types that reflect the reality that this GPIO is either a PCM device, or it is a serial port, but it by definition is only one thing at a time and must be explicitly switched between them if that's what you want to do.
There seems to be a lot of info that it's both great for you and terrible for you. This is probably a good case for when "all things in moderation" is a reasonable approach.
The post-quantum future: challenges and opportunities
I've been saying this for awhile, the US is screwed when the dollar loses reserve currency status and kicking Russia out of SWIFT accelerates the timeline for that dramatically. The fact India hasn't said a word about Russia and Pakistan PM is meeting with Putin right now is telling

The US has been outplayed by China so badly it's almost laughable, Chess vs Checkers for decades now
Side note: the death penalty is more expensive than prison in the way it is currently being used (because of the legal expenses + prison time before the execution takes place), so unless it is done faster (more prone to errors) it does not make financial sense: https://ballotpedia.org/Fact_check/Is_the_death_penalty_more...

I don’t think the culture differences are going to be as big a deal as you think, partly because religiosity has declined a lot in many western nations since my parents were born (start of WW2), woman’s rights have substantially improved, LGB[0] issues have gone from “we are chemically castrating you” to “there are half a dozen openly gay and lesbian national leaders”, and some of these changes are already in motion in the rest of the world; and partly because the main cultural split in the world right now is between urban and rural within any nation, not between the nations.

[0] while medical tech has improved for trans issues, I can’t really say western culture is kinder to that group today as compared to 1950, nor do I know how trans issues are regarded in the Middle East.

Early when the Steam Deck was revealed they showed a promotional image with Factorio being played on it. It made me think that, yeah, the game does run great on Linux and I'm sure the console can handle it, but would you really want to play with that kind of an input device? I wasn't thinking about it much and a few weeks later I was playing Factorio and noticed how atrocious doing half the things I was doing would be with a controller-like interface.
When I was younger I never understood why parents would be against schools teaching about gender, sexuality, etc.

Now that I: 1) Have children of my own, and, 2) See which people from my high school went on to become teachers, I get it.

These issues are complex, and full of nuances, and they touch on a lot of challenging moral issues. As a parent I strongly prefer to tackle these issues myself taking into account things like where my children are at in their emotional, physical, and spiritual development. What I don't want is some teacher who was a mediocre student reading off a state-sponsored curriculum that's been heavily influenced by politicians, and does not take into account any of the specific needs of an individual child.

More and more it seems like schools are trying their best to replace the role of the parent when what they should be doing is trying to be a partner for parents in their child's education.
i tried for 3 years of self study plus some weekly in person lessons. Heavily grinded anki , did pimsleur, michel thomas , duolingo.

Overall i would say it was a failure, got to where I could read almost anything , but completely failed at being able to have real-time conversations.

I think for me I would need immersion to really get to the next level. Like I would need a french person to live with me for a few months.
> False dichotomy. I still have the sandbox with F-Droid. This is chaff.

I didn't imply that you wouldn't benefit from the app sandbox by using F-Droid. I meant that the practical approach to privacy should come from relying on the permission model instead of trusting third parties.

In that sense, F-Droid adds very little to the fact that you still have to trust the upstream code with the permissions you're willing to grant.

If you choose to trust F-Droid, that's perfectly fine and I'm not trying to convince anyone to stop doing that. I also won't comment on your statements that Play Store is spyware because I have very little interest in that topic. You're free to believe that, and I respectfully disagree given the great service (whilst not perfect by any means) offered by Play Store.

Genocide the genociders... what could go wrong
I am almost out of my 40s. In the past year, I've gotten three AWS certifications and learned new hobbies from scratch (ex: electronics component-level repair).

I haven't seen evidence that my ability to learn things has slowed down yet. I think a lot of "age-related" problems are more related to lifestyle until about 60.

When you're 20, you can eat sugar, fat and salt all day long while sitting on a couch and get along pretty well. When you're 40, you'll get fat and your body will atrophy.

There's a solution though: eat healthful foods, exercise, manage stress, pursue important goals, be active socially.
Here's a quick greasemonkey script I just whipped up that you could start from:

(function(){
'use strict';
var links = document.getElementsByClassName("titlelink");
for(var link of links){
if(link.href.includes("twitter") ){
var owner = link.closest(".athing");
owner.nextSibling.remove();
owner.remove();
}
}
})();

You would need to adapt the "includes()" to match any URL you don't care for.
Unless there is a strong wind it likely will settle back, especially since it is a thick forest around the station.
I'm actually not sure this is a question of scale at all? The amount of revenue and the amount of moderation needed both scale with the amount of content.

If anything, YouTube's scale gives it a better chance of being able to address this issue, since there are likely fixed costs here that YouTube can better fund (obviously investing in better automated screening, but also setting up the workflows for human moderation, etc.) I think the only benefit a smaller scale competitor has is that they're less visible and unlikely to be "caught" for hosting content they "shouldn't". But if the rules applied equally to everyone, I think YouTube is strictly at an advantage in being able to implement better human moderation.

Interesting, I've never heard of this. Do you have any links or references to teams testing out these biological innovations for the construction space? I'd like to learn more.
You're thinking of a system that's too clever for its own good. Go dumber.

Start with a setup where you're packaging all dependencies with your binary, dynamically linked.

Then, instead of a single zip file, put each dependency in its own zip, or even each file in its own zip. But each release is still a full set of specific files. You never refer to a dependency by name or version. That's too clever and fragile.

If two releases of two separate programs happen to share the same exact file, then you only need to download it once.

Words like "compatible" and "semver" have no meaning to this system, because you only deduplicate the exact same file. You save space if a developer reuses code correctly, but otherwise there are no visible side effects and no bugs.
Ask HN: Anyone here have good material for learning how to sketch from scratch?
Apologies if this is off-topic but the learning French thread got me wondering if anyone here is an artist in the downtime and has recommendations for learning materials when it comes to learning how to draw? I've tried Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain and it doesn't do it for me. I've tried nma.art and that's like the closest I've come to what I'm after but currently suffer from paralysis analysis with too many or too few courses to choose from. Any suggestions? I'm hoping to be able to eventually draw people and landscapes, willing to pay hundreds of dollars potentially for the right course or instruction per month not really looking for like a udemy type thing.
1. Russia has been building up gold reserves, not crypo reserves

2. It's actually much harder than convincing 51% of miners that Russia is bad. You'll need to get them to agree on a list of addresses to freeze/sanction. Given that bitcoin addresses are pseudonymous, I'd imagine on agreeing on such a list would be politically impossible. Not to mention, how such action would affect trust in the network and the value of bitcoin
Isn't it far more important to ensure that they can't use dollars, than avoiding giving them more? They already have dollar reserves.

If we can make dollars worthless for them, they will have given us the gas for free from their perspective.
That is the default. rsnapshot uses rsync between local and remote, and rsync uses delta encoding algo so it is speedy. You may need to tune your ssh, networking stack and rsync.
I'm way too far away from power on anything like this so I might be terribly wrong, but I imagine that cutting off SWIFT might convince other countries doing bad things to consider adhering to Russia's system, if they see the West willing to cut them off as well. You then get fragmentation and SWIFT losing some of its "soft power".
Isn't there a way to have some antifreeze additives in pipes where a pipe freeze is actually a realistic scenario?
I’ve successfully used duolingo to learn multiple languages.

I’ve used it as the way to get started and build a base of vocabulary and grammar, allowing me to comfortably jump into immersion with audio/video/speaking etc.

Duolingo is quite effective at what it advertises, it never claims it will bring you to full fluency.
