China is in a very uncomfortable situation imo. More than staying neutral, they are probably trying to find a way out.

They have: (0) enabled an unprovoked attack from Russia on Ukraine, undermining peace in Europe, (1) said that their ties to Putin have "no limits", (2) shared intelligence coming from the US with Russia, (3) not moved their own citizens out of Ukraine and (4) enabled a nasty rhetoric about Ukrainians

By going for self-interest and mercantilism over a principled and fair approach to international affairs, what China is doing is destabilizing and dangerous. China needs to be contained.
I have a MacBook Pro with 3456 × 2234 (around 16:10.5) resolution and it is perfect. I don't know why people would want laptops at 16:9 at all. I can play videos just fine on this thing and the other 95% of the time it's a better resolution for doing things like coding and spreadsheets.

The Moscow Exchange has been closed since last Friday, February 25th, and given how things are going currently, it's unlikely to reopen soon. Many banks, lenders and middlemen already refuse to trade the ruble at all both due to the sanctions and the insane risk involved — any trade with the ruble risks being a major bag holding operation. For all practical intents and purposes, it's currently more or less in free-fall [0].

I'd wager most Russians don't have savings, and need money today to feed themselves. And for most people just moving out and collecting our Bitcoin savings is not a viable option, not even in the future.

One minor niggle: I can definitely agree with calling shenanigans if a company doesn't make it clear they have no plans to sell my email address, but honesty about planning to get hacked - from a "this is what we will do" standpoint, but also from a perspective that doesn't flat-out rule out "that will never happen" - is honestly something I would find very refreshing to hear. A lot of environments prioritize mitigating the hypothetical liability risk associated with those kinds of big words rather than communicating that type of boldness that comes across as reassuringly supportive and resilient.

This being said, I wouldn't have minded being a fly on the wall listening to that conversation :P

Okay, but given you quoted that point above, what are you saying in relation to what I said?
If researchers could test a new cancer treatment, instead of just hoping that the right patients turn up on the right day, they could instantly let everyone with that cancer know that they could join a trial.

This already kind of happens - it’s why clinical trials are done in academic centers by research-focused physicians. They know roughly how many patients they have and are happy to try and recruit them.

No doubt there are more efficiencies to be driven out of trials, but when you need to monitor patients for 12+ months, regularly screen them and run tests, that’s just not going to be cheap or quick.

From the HN "what to submit" guidelines:

> I am saying that conversion back to RUB (actually something you can use to pay for gas/food/rent) is still going to be problematic.

I suspect - but absent evidence this is speculation - that you can probably pay with gold and 'hard' currency easily right now in Russia, this was the case before the iron curtain fell (illegal, of course) and I don't see why it would be any different today. People hate being paid in a currency that loses double digit percentages of value overnight.
that sounds very cool good luck to you
What are they supposed to do when their own government has a warrant? Ignore it and let the government shut down the whole site? This way they followed it without breaking anyones encryption, no back door, … this is a positive aspect in my view.
Current targets also include government agencies, other financial infrastructure (e.g., ATM networks), Crypto exchanges with spikes in Ruble inflow, certain TV stations and few companies.

Targets in Belarus are mainly media companies.

> I have good memories of the AN-2 as a skydiving platform.

As a former sport skydiver, the An-2 was definitely an upgrade to planes like C-182 or C-206. But compared to more common choices like C-208, DO-28 or Porter it was not as good from speed/altitude perspective. For both military and sport use cases, the An-28 was a great plane.

The thought processes in the conspiracy theory community are certainly often divorced from reality, but they tend to be intricately formed and internally consistent. Alternatively, the through processes in somebody with schizophrenia tend to be disastrously non-consistent and almost meaningless (think the ramblings of Charles Manson). Couple that with the usually strong negative symptoms of schizophrenia, such as social withdrawal, depression, and lack of general motivation, and I don't see a huge overlap between the conspiracy theory community and people with schizophrenia.

> That's an example of this class of game-theory based ideas.

That's a good point on its own, but it's not a response. At no time did I or anyone here in this thread assert that "info hazards" do not exist. What is being discussed is whether it's worthwhile to be deferential to a person/community who is making claims of being in possession of an exceptionally catastrophic piece of information that by its nature would preclude public scrutiny on ethical grounds.
A "security" is something that has a notional value. You can buy and sell the different types of securities on an exchange.

So it's synonymous to an asset (i.e. something of value that you are prepared to buy or sell).

The exchange does nothing more that manage the buying and selling of these securities to guarantee no one gets ripped off.

One party hands over the security, the other party hands over the cash and the exchange manages the deal on behalf of both parties (for a small fee).

Now the exchange can call a halt to trading (i.e. stops all buying and selling) when it see the market is in trouble. The exchange just calls a halt in an attempt to slow the fall of the market.

These halts are used to try and smooth out extreme fluctuations in the market.

So in this case it looks like the price of Russian securities has collapsed (i.e they are becoming dramatically worth less than they were a few days ago) and the exchange has been temporarily blocked the buying and selling Russian securities in the hope their value stabilises.

Currently the exchange is just seeing a collapse in price of the Russian securities and they want to slow that fall.
Well, edge cases can be bad. If you didn't have an answer for those edge case problems then why do you think the ideas were good?

Whataboutism is like this:

"Russia invading Ukraine is bad"

"What about the US? They invaded Iraq!"

The latter is used to justify the former, when it shouldn't.

That's one of the things the .io domain hints at, along with the completely blank page when loading the website without JS enabled, the myriad of NPM dependencies and the fact that it is advertised as a lightweight tool while being a Vue SPA that loads 13 M of minified JS code (that's if you block google trackers), and google trackers.
If you are authoring 16:9 content, something like 16:10 allows for some UI controls to be displayed along with 16:9 video at native resolution during previews. When programming, more space is better. So for creators, 16:10 is unambiguously better.

I'm not sure there's a good definition of a security - since it's a legal/financial concept that's slightly different in basically every jurisdiction.

Basically, it's any tradable investment.

To explain why it's weird - currently in the US (AFAIK) Crypto isn't yet considered a security.

At the very least, I’d be surprised if they weren’t renegotiating eye-watering rates: it’s not like Russia has many options and I suspect the Chinese government would like Putin to collapse and be replaced with someone better for business.
You are equivocating. You are making subtle changes to the qualifiers of the condition at issue (again[1]). Doubly odd for someone exhorting others to "read[...] very carefully".

Whether someone has "made any changes to the source code" is not the applicable rubric.

In this case you are constructing a stronger condition than the actual condition—which is much lower: to modify the Program. Your clever reverse proxy doesn't subvert this. (It's not so clever.) You're modifying the program whether you've touched any files containing plain text source code or not. (Even then, you probably have; cf IaC.)

Aside from that, others' points about courts not being simple machines that exist to be hacked is very relevant to this discussion and many others that devolve into this sort of thing when hackers get involved[2].

Overall, this is astoundingly bad synthesis for something that has gotten so much traction.

I've tried LFS about 15 years ago.

It actually teaches you better to learn the inner workings of Linux if you follow Gentoo (or the likes) that makes you actually type in each of the steps to get the OS running like setting up swap and configuring kernel options but LFS tells you what the OS is made of like what packages are required to get a minimal system going.

Good to learn both if you're interested.

People don't like the constraints of smartphones but they don't understand computers well enough to articulate it. That you do and then you mock me for pointing it out indicates a particularly ugly kind of follower mentality.

X11 isn't that important, it's the large app library it brings with it (many apps that after 24 years still have no replacements on either smartphone OS.) For power users the flexibility is nice too.

Onboard dev environments aren't useful to most people but it indicates/allows a few things:

1) Individual users who are inclined can easily improve the platform with very little effort.

2) The owners of the platform aren't stopping people from doing what they want with their own devices.
New MBPs are exactly 16:10 for full-screen, non-"notch-aware" apps - the screen is basically 16:10 below the notch, plus the two side areas. Rather neat solution imho.
Was that warning not strong enough - perhaps I shouldn't have posted the link at all but I thought it was technically interesting that a tool was developed that even the laity could use simply by loading a web page.
There are already many tools for many things in the Linux base userland, installed per default. Mankind could save many CPU cycles and developer days if we'd be able to read the existing documentation and learn to use them.

But instead we are here, people are baffled if projects run on bare Debian with no extra dependencies as if it was some kind of magic.
On a related note, how much I wish 1440 / 1600 vertical had become dominant for PCs, rather than just "bigger number better".

It's so much more of a performance : sharpness sweet spot than 1080p - sorry, I can see pixel effects on a typical laptop - or 4k - which even desktops typically don't drive well.
UBSAN adds a lot of runtime overhead. Turning it on my default would mean most software built with clang (or GCC, which has also had it for years) would suddenly be dog slow, like MSVCC in debug mode. Few developers have any idea how to use their toolchain correctly, so the defaults need to be chosen wisely.
I get user friendliness for non tech-savvy users, but they should definitely have something like "details" that you can expand for power users, especially somewhere like custom domain management/DNS record checker where there are probably power users using it.

Yeah, definitely not the first to consider this. I remember my Dad experimenting with proper lightning (brightness and spectrum) in the early to mid 2000s, and to him that was not really that novel.

In my office room (32m²/340sqft), I use a commercial rail lightning system with three channels/phases (controlled via a Sonoff 4CH WiFi switch). Those are commonly used in stores, and I got my rails cheap via the local craigslist-equivalent. With 8m of rails (2m not attached, yet) I am very flexible with light positioning and can adjust the "light mode" for different room usages. Drawback: I am not somebody to buy light fixtures for a thousand bucks, so I found it difficult to find appropriate-but-still-cheap fixtures. For ambient light (not so bright) I got lucky with these cheap GU10 holders [1], into which I put some decent bulbs (3000k, CRI90+, 410lumen, dimmable, flickerfree [2]).
As "desklights" I have bright spots (6400k, CRI95+, 1350lumen, 24deg [3]), which should give about 5000 to 7000lux with three lamps. The 6400k is a bit cold and the bulbs are non-replaceable, but other LED alternatives would have been much more expensive, so I got these to experiment with. So far I am happy.

One interesting alternative are metal-halide lamps[4]: Those can often be bought in used condition for cheap, and offer replaceable bulbs by default (G12 socket). They are only little less energy efficient than my high CRI LEDs, and the spectrum also seems to be quite good. However, they start at 35W (e.g. 4200k, CRI91, 3400lumen) and don't seem to be dimmable. For a single spot that's a bit much, and spreading the light on the ceiling by using three or four is a bit expensive with our energy prices. They also have some additional drawbacks like warmup and cooldown times. Though maybe I'll modify one or two with WiFi switches so I can use them to boost the normal desklight using some Home Assistant automations.

Localbitcoin/local crypto/localmonero and similar (e.g. asking at a crypto meetup forum) are an option if bank transfers don't work. Bitcoin ATMs if you really are in a hurry and willing to take a potentially high exchange rate hit.

Otherwise there's exchanges which still operate within Russia for the time being and some business (tho too rare to be useful but In a big city, if you don't have funds others than what was sent to you, you might be able to buy more than otherwise) accept it though I wouldn't rely on that too much unless you know a specific one.
Sorry, but with that attitude, why use curl, and not just netcat or socat? Or just write bash scripts manipulating sockets directly?

I think you underestimate a bit what postman can do. Just a few things: import openapi specs and do pretty complex requests with a few mouse-clicks, supports various auth mechanisms (oauth/jwt/...), allows for some scripting, run mock versions of an API spec, generate request code for various languages and frameworks, and yes, copy a request you created with point&click as a cli curl command.

On top of that, you can easily save and share this in teams.
