If that doesn’t work, you can also pay a small, nominal fee for an employee to gather all your stuff and you just come pick it up at the customer service desk. Still ridiculous that you have to pay for the privilege of not wasting 2h in the maze but at least something.
Their economy is smaller than Italy. Some datacentres and such, but meh, those aren't buying bare chips from intel anyway. They're usually buying complete servers manufactured in other countries anyway.

I'd be surprised if it even made a half percent dent.
Don't worry peeps, RISC-V softcore porn killed the Wintel marriage.

Hahaha, my sides are splitting! Hahaha!

And the future is open-source firmware.

The catch (of the day)? Strong trademark protection and certification to be included in the global supply chain.

Print that out and trace it on your ass Mr. Stallman.

Hahaha. I'm sad.

Bitcoin ASICs are hardly on older process nodes. Intel's just announced chips are using their 7nm process, Bitmain is on TSMC 7nm and 5nm, while Microbit is on Samsung's 8nm.

This is what the US needs to embrace as a whole, otherwise we won't be competitive with the countries that do as the US dollar (petrodollar) loses its primacy on the global stage.
You are correct. A better word is amortality - a lifestyle that defies the process of aging.

It depends a lot on the situation. I think it’s reasonable, for example, for banks who have different liability standards depending on how transactions are authenticated to require batch attestation.

But like I said, most consumer IdPs aren’t doing attestation checks, and it’s discouraged, so I think you’re making a big deal of it. :)
Well, the world is only responding this firmly now that he is furthering his existing invasion of a neighboring nation.

I'm not a unix guru, but from my experience with C++ build systems I feel the reproducible build thing seems completely at odds with rolling releases. When I have a reproducible built with C++/CMake/Hunter, what I want is a stable package base that everyone is building against - that's got a ton of eyeballs on it and that is patched and maintained. You do whatever you want on top of that and you can deterministically reproduce your whole stable setup. You do it all carefully enough and you can even build against any architecture.

You take the example of Ubuntu LTS - everyone eventually adjusts their libraries and applications to be able to run with the suite of library versions they provide and everyone is on the same page.

Sure, sometimes you may need a particular package at a different version. You can either static link that in, or bring it in separately with a PPA (as long as you're careful to not link two versions of the same library) - but generally that's not really necessary

By contrast a rolling release seems sorta nuts... Sure I can reproduce the GUIX/NIX package world at some random point in the past - but I'll be basically the only person stuck at that version. If libraries have issues all I can do it try to rebuild at a newer version.. but then why do I care about reproducibility if I'm rolling? Or I end up with a hodge-podge of libraries at different versiosn that work for one application, but don't quite work for another. Orrrr I have a soup of libraries/dependencies all at different version.. but then I might as well statically link everything and forget about package management!

From a lot of the blog posts and tooling I get the sense that people don't really care about having a stable system frozen in time. Is that right?

I admittedly haven't played with either system (b/c they're really hard to grok) - but I feel I must be missing the point a bit. Or maybe I'm not seeing an obvious usecase for reproducible rolling releases

Interestingly this article is from the perspective of America calling for Russia's SWIFT removal (pun unintended) whereas the past week's discourse seems to be European leaders leading the move.
NATO have been training Ukrainian troops since at least Euromaidan and the US have provided Ukrain with billions in military aid. Actually sending NATO troops to Ukraine is the kind of obvious provocation that clearly could have sparked a Russian invasion.

Yes, I agree, it has never been in good faith. Putin is a fascist, in the true sense of the world. His ideology is based on a "natural order" in which the strong dominate the weak and a past dream of lost glory. When he's using the "blood and soil" argument or he's talking about fighting against degeneracy it's not by mistake. If you look a bit at the ideology popular among high-ranked Russian, their behavior for the past 15-20 years make more sense.

For example, you can check:

- the book "Foundations of Geopolitics ": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics

- its author and "philosopher" Aleksandr Dugin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandr_Dugin

Putin has a long-term vision and strategy to build a fascist empire, he has been working on this for decades.
Which part of it is sad?
Someone who is unlikely to die in the next hour needs to be making those strategic decisions though. What is the alternative? (besides simply not having wars anymore)

> Unfortunately almost no countries do want a "ready" population, since such population can react effectively against it's own government

Maybe - but there's also the problem anything you publish to train your population will end up in the hands of your enemies, and your allies' enemies.

You can't teach the American public to make tank-busting IEDs without also training everyone from ISIS to the IRA.

Of course, there are other forms of readiness - physical fitness, for example - but no government I've ever heard of bans that, even if it's not encouraged as much as it could be.
True, you need to throw a team under the bus
Really? I won’t claim to have exhaustively surveyed it but it sure felt like it was widely recognized as a brutal ordeal with random sudden death never far away. Most of the “greatest generation” imagery was grounded in the idea of slogging through it anyways.
Actually, I just remembered even better movie to recommend, if you are not deterred by a black and white foreign movie with subtitles - The White Disease [1] - a movie from 1937 where a hardened dictator, the leader of a big well armed country is preparing to attack a small country during the pandemic of a new disease. The movie is on YouTube for free and I think it is a little known gem for movie connoisseurs.

Thunderbird's "maildir-style" support is proprietary in the sense that it's not standard – it's open source, but not like other maildir. It's still file-per-email, but they adapted their implementation to, for starters, support Windows file systems, as the more general maildir format is not supported natively on Windows due to the use of certain characters in the filenames.

So, you can use it in Thunderbird, but not share that with other applications that also support maildir, they won't be compatible.
I don't claim expertise in math or CS, but the book that sparked my intellectual curiosity was GEB. I read part way through it in high school and was really grabbed by the concept of recursion (brand new to me at the time). I ended up carrying that spark with me until it consumed me enough to change careers, from teaching music to programming.

I don't actually have a cohesive/concrete idea per se, but I don't find myself disagreeing with any of that description :D

TIL 3.5GHz is open. Where can I read more about it? It isn't in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISM_radio_band. Is it open worldwide? I'm in Australia (and generally interested in noodling over solutions that are region-agnostic). Edit: Ah TIL about CBRS from another comment (which I replied to, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30490470).

And thanks for the headsup about WiMAX, I was wondering what happened to it. The Wikipedia article on it made relatedness noises pointing at LTE, I get the impression it kinda ended up getting used for parts. (It's curious why stuff that seems to attract reasonable investment just doesn't take off, I wouldn't mind learning more, but yeah, idle curiosity.)
I was a Thunderbird user for maybe 15 years. Switched to Evolution, imported Thunderbird and was happy from day one. No issues.

It's kind of hard to reconcile how this article portrays his kids as some sort of national secret when a Putin-family-supplied photo of the two older girls accompanies the article.

He wants them out of the public eye for probably the usual reasons and they're probably happy to not be. I don't think there's much more to it than that.
I have a whole bookcase of cookbooks. When the bookcase starts to overflow, I weed it, so over time it’s fairly well curated. Do knives, stand mixer, and stove count as tech?
Yes, file descriptors and whole file systems are other narrow waists that Unix has, not just files themselves! I want to make diagrams for those too.

The terminology I'd use:

File descriptors are just a way to do polymorphism in the type system of C. Basically you fall back to an "untyped" integer (similar to void*).

Go's interfaces solve this problem pretty directly, much better than C++, which can't really express it in the type system. That is, with the "-er" interface pattern like Reader and Writer.

(I think type classes do better too, but I haven't used them much. I'd like to see an article that unpacks this better in the context of file descriptor APIs)

This style relates to "versionless evolution". The key issue is that Go doesn't require you to declare that a type supports an interface. It's implicit and the compiler figures it out. That was controversial, but it is the key to enabling evolution.

Most programmers are viewing things through the lense of "strictness" and "catching mistakes", rather than evolution. ioctl() is messy as heck but has allowed a lot of evolution.

It's highly related to this discussion, which I've linked on the blog before:

I agree that there is a significant resource extraction sector, though primarily based around energy as opposed to raw materials. I have my doubts that it’s significant enough that the state could materially benefit from a weakened USD.

It would be nice to find a percentage-based chart which breaks down economic sectors for the state. It exists somewhere, no doubt, but I am unable to find it this morning.

I do agree with your first point: crypto-for-taxes is primarily a headline generating gimmick. One that sells Colorado as a state with tech-savvy leadership.
I like the idea of signing a nonce rather than the current time. That solves several problems. Thanks for the advice.
The tactics are interesting and the manuals are useful for potential team and unit leads, but there are some underlying principles you can spread and scale faster than a a tactical instruction manual. A sense of immutable shared identity will isolate an occupier from support and create infinite long term costs. The economy of the occupation has to be worth it for the occupier, which means there is some strategic asset a resistance can deprive them of. I don't know if the Ukranian people have this, but group identity is probably the most powerful tool of all.

What does Russia get out of Ukraine? The Dnieper River, secured ports on the Black Sea and its resources, international / continental shipping routes for Russian exports that don't have to go through multiple countries. The capability of maintining long term hidden artillery batterys down the Dnieper that can sink boats, and air strikes on ships in the Black Sea would make an occupation diseconomic as compared to a trade agreement.

I suspect the calculus for the invasion was based on how Ukraine had become too much of a political risk as a choke point for securing Russian economic expansion and a need to secure long term export routes, and then the political weakness of the US/NATO in the form of its low likelihood of imposing serious consequences set the incentives up so the decision to invade practically made itself. There could be a compromise where Russia gets a continuous border on the Black Sea, and Ukraine cedes that territory, but survives as a nation, with the condition that it will be flattened if the new smaller nation joins NATO.

Ukraine needs to survive, and a resistance that accepted the lost strategic territory but fought a long war of attrition over the less strategic areas could secure their independent existence because once Russia takes the land and sea routes it needs, the costs of holding the rest of the territory make a new peace more economical in the face of an ethnic Ukranian resistance killing Russians for decades over land that doesn't have as significant return on the costs to hold it. These economics are likely why Afghanistan and Vietnam were so successful, as they fought for identity and over land and territory the occupiers didn't get a return on their investment and huge costs on.
Unfortunately Hungary appears to be sliding back.
They don’t need private keys. The company is responsible for distribution of public keys. So, they can inject a public key to your network, and you happily encrypt your traffic with that public key, to be decrypted on the other side by their private key.

It’s the same old key distribution problem; for instance, when you SSH you need to verify the authenticity of the key that is presented to you first time. You approve the wrong public key and it’s over.

This is not to say, Tailscale does that. The service is by far my favorite (Nebula is not as user friendly, and ZeroTier uses nonstandard tunneling). Tailscale is dead simple, uses Wireguard, has integration with SSO, provides ACLs, relays, good NAT traversal, good management interface and lately a lot of DERPs around the world. Just be aware of limitations (in US, they can even be forced to share the networks, even if they don’t want to).

Two other comments. These mesh networking products could use pre-shared keys to address this concern. For example, Tailscale could use Wireguard preshared keys, as an optional feature for those concerned with key distribution. I don’t know why they don’t offer this option. Also, these services are not zero trust, contrary to what they often claim on their websites (usually they twist the meaning of the term zero trust).
You make a good point. Please excuse my offtopic aside: could you use better news sources than the NY Post? We have, for instance, active discussion of the story on this site, via a Politico story: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30482998

Ikea Lack tables (the 10$ 50x50cm ones everyone has) are literally cardboard laid on its side between two panels of laminate. This is standard for ikea stuff.

Some of it is chipboard with veneer, and the rest is massive but cheapo soft wood like pine (and that’s the “luxury” bracket in IKEAs offering, the most expensive in the store.

You're right, I was wrong about Ireland. I checked the laws of all other states and it seems to apply to them all, though. Most EU states derive their legal systems from the German one.
Lets say as a thought exercise that: it is proved beyond doubt that there is nothing after death. And all life human beings included are just self perpetuating complex biological loops no different than a toy with electricity. Lets also assume immortality is found by some kind of fixing of this biological machine and so defeating death.

Is such an existence worth living? You would be no different than a straw on wind with all its movements explained by physical laws.
Turkey is very active in supporting Ukraine since a long time. That's why the Turkish flag was among the flags waved in the Ukrainian parliament: https://twitter.com/haskologlu/status/1488590864658182152/ph...

Although the country did not illuminate any iconic building in the Ukrainian flags colours, they have been providing Ukraine with cutting edge armed drones and diplomatic support against Russia for a while now.

The official Ukrainian media accounts have been praising the Turkish support since the start of the war.

I wouldn't worry too much about Turkey's place in the history books.
Stratechery (& Dithering) is the only paid newsletter I subscribe to. It’s so worth it. I think that everyone working in tech should subscribe to maintain an objective view of the overall tech landscape. Otherwise, you get sucked into the gravitational well of your employer’s propaganda.

100B is more than 2% of Germany's economic output.

And no. Our leaders (especially Olaf Scholz) decided to put Nordstream 2 on hold, Putin didn't change anything regarding Russia's gas export.

I see it like this: Russia gets the eastern Ukraine, the US gets to export more expensive fracking gas, and the Europeans are on the losing side in both cases.

Security is a high priority to me but I'm also optimizing with respect to a lot of factors.

I decided on NixOS.

The defaults start out locked down. The firewall has only port 22 open, so give your root user a decent password, and immediately set up your user with a public/private key, test it works then turn off root login via ssh and password logins.

NixOS also only installs what you configure, and remove what you don't, so if you like utils that are considered standard, like 'which', be sure to include them in your configuration.

With NixOS I feel like I know exactly what's on my system at any given time, and nothing should be there that I didn't put there by declaring I want it there.

I have my system set up to update daily so it gets security fixes immediately.

I also have a reproducible system built on a functional build tool called Nix. I can replicate the system easily. If I want lockfile level reproducibility (like rust or npm), I can use flakes.

Are there other distributions more focused solely on optimizing security? Maybe, but the core NixOS development are extremely security conscious and I trust them more than any other group of core distribution group.
> “I [experimented] until I had a rough outline of a system based on the previous winning numbers,” he told the Sydney Morning Herald in 1969. “If numbers 1, 2, and 3 won the last 3 rounds, [I could determine] what was most likely to win the next 3.”

I'm calling shenanigans here. I can believe that a roulette wheel might have biases, and that you might be able to leverage those to beat the house. I have a very hard time believing that a roulette wheel could have a contingent bias such that the next outcome depended on the previous one. What possible mechanism could cause that? I'm also skeptical that even if there were such a mechanism that you could reliably determine it with the number of data points that one person could plausibly collect and analyze, especially in the 1960s.

In fact, let's do the math: 37*37=1369 so you'd need that many spins at a minimum just to see every possible number pair come up once. Let's suppose that a spin takes a minute. It would take a minimum of 22 hours of watching one roulette wheel to see every combination. More likely you'd need 10-100 times that much data to get a statistically significant result. And that is just for one wheel [UPDATE: and a one-round contingent bias. The claim is a three-round contingent bias. Collecting that much data for even a single wheel would take years of constant effort.]

Nope. Not possible.
Since Starlink can't do satellite to satellite yet it requires ground stations to send the signal up and bounce it off. If these ground stations aren't around Ukraine this is useless.

Second, where are Ukrainians going to get the dish? Is Elon sending them over there via military air drop for free? Or is SpaceX going to open source plans so Ukrainians can build their own from scraps?

This seems like a typical empty publicity stunt by Elon sorry to say.
Oooh, TIL about https://link.ui.com and https://ispdesign.ui.com!

The geographic (landmass height) processing stuff they're doing there is honestly incredible (and hilarious, it just *let* me raise antennas 3km up in the air on top of residential buildings to establish LOS hahaha). And the signal propagation spectrum stuff is cool too.

I wasn't fully aware their kit (and high-frequency digital radio in general) could go to 100km. That's awesome, and puts DJI's stuff into much better perspective too.
I think IKEA in Hong Kong has a completely different business model from most of the world since their stores are located in prime shopping malls and shopping districts instead of out-of-town which is more common elsewhere. It's quite common for people to just visit the bistro to grab a snack and teenage couples tend to hang out on the sofas after school which I think is quite unique to the HK branches. In general the experience is very localised, for example, the showrooms tend to focus on how efficiently you can furnish your 250 square foot shoebox and there is a bigger focus on ancillaries because most people don't have cars.
The (unpublished) book "Introduction to Higher Math"[1], along with the professor who taught the course, was probably what got me going on the road to a PhD in math. It's very accessible (no prerequisites to speak of), teaches the reader how to write mathematical proofs, and includes some really interesting material, e.g. cardinality. It's also freely available now.
