Didn't the Dutch ISP Xs4all have this in past where you could remote control the lamps of a Christmas tree in their office? That's a long time ago, before WebSockets or IoT existed. And the server, while being absolutely hammered, kept up.
Thankfully this has been fixed. You can now choose "Transfer accounts" (from the menu in the top right corner) to copy everything to Google Authenticator on a new (or backup) phone.
So 3 million people in the US alone
I don’t think that’s the general consensus at all. The local police forces were unable or unwilling to do anything.

A large majority of Canadians support direct action to remove the protestors. Who are you speaking on behalf of?
It’s tantamount to appeasement to let threats like this influence any decisions

Have family that are vp cybersecurity in infrastructure; I wish you were correct, but the free market went for quick and cheap implementations, not secure.

Basically, no one wanted to bear all the costs of having secure infrastructure components, this is the tragedy of the commons that government is supposed to solve, but when all the leaders are over 70, it’s hard for them to grok the new reality.
I'm so sorry. But the truth is that you don't stand a chance. Russia will get what it wants (it got the support of China that will offset any sanctions the the West might impose)

I really hope you will stay safe.
It's surprisingly common take in these times. Climate change? Fearmongering. Covid? Who's going to be scared of the flu? And obviously Putin's danger is made up by media, at least until today.

I don't think the accuracy rate for these predictions will be too good but plenty of people seem to think otherwise.
I always store the secret key for TOTP before I use the QR code. I have a command line app I wrote that can generate OTP codes using the same secret key, so as a back up I can always generate codes with my desktop or phone.
I personally use a different, fame account for Vanced. Most people should be doing that anyway because who knows when Google will crackdown on it and start blocking any account using Vanced.
Not only that this statement "Server Side Rendering is a technique used to improve the performance of JavaScript templating systems (such as React). " can only be understood as a joke.

Really? A technique invented for JavaScript?!?
The reason the sponsors pay for this stuff is because people watch it. Systems which encourage widespread automated skipping of sponsored segments discourages their use in the first place and either eliminates a source of revenue for creators or escalates the arms race to embed sponsorships more and more thoroughly into primary content.
I fear (potentially?) hostile agents like Google more than bugs.
It is not that bad, but they tend to scandalise hedgehogs attacking gardeners as a new world war.
> WebExtensions have various permissions associated (though not controllable by the user -- merely declared and accepted or not

I think this is a major flaw in how permissions are implemented in Firefox (and Flatpak and other pieces of modern technology).

Software commonly "declares" what permissions it wants, but the user doesn't have to opt-in to grant these permission. They're granted by default, and there's usually no way to deny it.

I think iOS has a good approach here, where an application asks for camera permission and there's two buttons: Grant or Deny. The prompt also comes when camera access is actually required, not at software installation time.
An ucraine split in half, with Kiev belonging to Russia. What else?

Putin needs just enough territory so that the NATO can't get too much near Russian and a pillow territory to handle future conflicts without touching Russian territory
What China did doesn't even come close to the amount of atrocities, interferences in foreign politics, unwarranted wars caused only by the imperialist mindset of the US.

If filesystems were replaced with a new paradigm today it would be a centralized SaaS where every operation requires a round trip to the cloud and ads show up alongside your data unless you pay a monthly subscription. Every single thing you do on your computer would be streamed to advertising analytics farms. Without an Internet connection it would be impossible to access your data.

... being sarcastic ... I think ... maybe ...
The flipside though is that Putin wouldn't be doing this unless he thought it would be popular and cement his legacy as a czar; and he wouldn't commit his Russians to it if he didn't think it would make Russia stronger and benefit Russia in the long term. His thinking is rational in this regard. Barbaric, but rational. And it will take more than sanctions to shake the foundation of this medieval belief.
That’s been the moral of the story since 1945.

Or, to be charitable, since India and Pakistan both tested nuclear weapons and nothing happened.
>I'm concerned if BNPL practice flourishing because it's quite easy to trigger systemic crisis later on.

Genuine question - how would that work?

BNPL companies tend to have pretty low limits and demand repayment fairly quickly, so I don't think it could lead to a GFC-scale bad debt situation at the very least.
Terrible food gets marketed to you all the time every day. TV, internet ads, highway billboards, subway panel ads, sides of buses, etc. Every time, you have to fight the added pressure of wanting to eat addictive crap and there's only so much strength the average person has been all the other daily pressures and concerns.

I'd bet that if all food ads were pushing leafy greens, the obesity rates would drop. It might take a generation or two.

I want to be clear that this doesn’t justify Russia’s actions, but the separatist regions of Ukraine have a legitimate grievance. They voted for the prior Ukrainian government (in an election international observers considered free and fair), so they’re justified in seeing the 2014 revolution as anti-democratic.
I remember from using Tapestry (a Java framework) in the day, it had really aggressive in-memory caching, and you had to be really careful to disable it for components which rendered personalised or user data. We had some huge privacy leaks (which luckily we caught quickly) because we didn't realise it had this behaviour, as it didn't generally show up in local development.
Interesting! I ended up going with the LastPass authenticator in the end because of this issue but I am happy to see it fixed.
No... per user, YouTube Premium pays out way more than ads do. Overall, yes, of course, ad revenue is a higher contributor, since very few people use YouTube Premium.
Fwiw, if the protesters did not block the ambassador bridge, the protest in Ottawa might have continued indefinitely. Ottawa was incapable of responding it seems, and while Ottawa is the second largest city in Ontario the provincial government was ignoring it. When the provincial leadership and one of the two major parties is conservative and supporting the blockade/protest, things grow uncontested.

And recall that Trudeau has a minority government and the emergency is an act of parliament that was duly passed decades ago and it survived a vote recently. It is no “executive action” to use what I think is the us term. Following the laws of the legislature, by definition, isn’t illegal.

Ada relied on colleges teaching it or Pascal, so then it became hard to hire. I understand the rationale behind this, but the language is surprisingly easy to learn because it's usually explicit and straightforward.

It suffered from two decades of bad press due to being forced by the DoD and then almost two decades of no press. Looking at Google ngrams, C (due to Unix) took big chunks out of it and then Java gave the death blow by becoming a major teaching language. Ada 2012 had the capability to do for Ada what C++11 did for C++, but it wasn't sold well.

I picked up Ada 2012 last year and made a tool I use everyday now for real work--it's not a bad language. It suffers from a lot of myths about it, but the tool modernization like getting a package manager makes it productive. It is "boring" in the sense that there's nothing flashy about it, and its surface verboseness which saves other code later, and lack of curly braces turns people off. The community is super small and nice, but it never learned to sell the benefits of the language.

> Might need to consider sanctions with China as well...

No chance in hell our elites will allow that.

We've ignored the Uighurs, we ignored China antagonizing Taiwan, we've ignored China antagonizing the rest of the Asian-Pacific region, we've ignored China lying about COVID, we've ignored China stealing our technology, we've ignored China spying on US politicans.

We've got corporations and universities bending over backwards to partner with China. We have our celebrities apologizing to China and asking everyone to play nice so the elites' meal ticket isn't ruined.

No sanctions of any substance are going to happen.
Developing or playing in 1 world?

In school I remember finding project files students in the past had left on the servers. Mostly like digital art files. Sometimes papers or a miscopy from a flash drive or a small game. I thought that was cool, like uncovering artifacts from the past.

Social media groups of the recent graduate classes were just starting at the time. A couple of times, I remember uncovering a couple years old discussion from my school after I went down the same path and wound up in that online space. They were just old enough to be seniors or still be friends of current students.

There was also the flash games everyone played in computer classes. Everyone must’ve gone to the same few sites and played the same games. Just about everybody could probably relate to stories of playing flash games in the computer lab although there’s no real record to share of the sites are even still around.

Anyway, I thought it’d be cool if there was a digital world designed around leaving notes and things like this.

In Mario Maker, you can see where everyone died in the world. In dark souls, you can leave messages behind. I always thought it’d be interesting to see everyone who was in your position in a world like that somehow.

Imagine the history of stats/deaths/playtime. The story of John Smith and the orange goblin skin with 14 deaths over 53 minutes, 14 seconds he played of jump hero 6 years ago. The English teacher still talks about that guy!

There’s an educational Minecraft version now. If that was more than a trend and became a standard lesson for a week, it would be interesting to see a persistent world students from the past left behind with their trolling to each other, inside jokes, and houses temporary classmate friends built together. The teacher could show off their house from when they played as a student.

In the last 20 years though, I wonder if this would have the same interest. There might just be too much online presence social media for anyone to care about the past worlds.

It also might lose appeal if everything is from long-since graduates that feel distant to relate to instead of current seniors and recent college goers. It may also just get too crowded in the game world to make new things or have them actually stand out. I also wonder if trolls would just destroy the creations of the past— I think modifications are cool but just destroying everything would ruin the purpose.
Like with airplanes?
Yes the "rest" of the world knows the "truth". It's just a matter of defining what "the rest" and "truth" mean. In the context of the modern Axis of Evil also known as Five Eyes the "truth" is whatever the propaganda machine releases to its mass audience of intellectually handicapped people.

The "truth" were the "weapons of mass destruction" where the Allies killed over 550k children only in Iraq, not counting Syria, Libya, Afghanistan. Quiet an achievement in just twenty years. Let's not talk about killing children in Serbia in 1999, keeping Cuba isolated for over fifty years, having English aristocracy go on man-hunts in Africa in the 1980s... "truth" is a very funny word nowadays.

The technology/resources for the storage required woudvtske even longer but you're right, we don't need new technologies, we should be serial building proven designs like CANDUs until SMRs hit stride.
Kitty is decent, and I've used it a lot, but on my system at least rxvt-unicode beats Kitty's throughput by a factor of 2. If you've got a much faster gpu maybe your mileage may vary, but I can't even tell the performance difference unless I'm timing something like catting a large file to the terminal, which isn't something I do on purpose.

Currently I'm using mlterm which is slower than Kitty again by a significant margin, and I still don't notice the difference in day to day use.

(xterm, st and gnome-terminal are all slower than Kitty by huge margins; of the terminals on my system (I have a lot because I tested a bunch of them a while back...) there's a performance difference in terms of rendering throughput of at least a factor of 10, and yet even the slowest once are perfectly fine for most use other than the cat large file test)

Yeah, a ground war with aerial bombardment is totally the same as nuclear holocaust.

Great analogy.

Do the people in Ukraine want to be 'used' as a buffer? What do they want?

Because without addressing that your comment has a ‘I’m in favour of sacrificing people’ vibe.
It's not too late for the bubble to burst. When investors realize they put millions of dollars into a system which can process under 100 requests per second they may have a stroke and the whole thing could collapse like the .net bubble burst in the 90s and took away much of the landscape with it.
As it becomes easier to emulate hardware tokens[1], Google may start limiting which ones it accepts. I believe they can use attestation keys to do that.

This is just a softer layer of security to slow down less sophisticated mass signup attempts.

Google may very well eventually phase out TOTP, under the justification that it is not as secure, but I would be shocked if they ever retire the highly insecure SMS verification.

Do you think China does things without regard to politics?

They have clear political motivation to continue to build nuclear power plants. For example, this keeps their nuclear sector occupied and preserves the technology against deterioration. Even if civilian NPPs are not military, the overall technology has direct connection to their military (as it does in France.)

Even with that, they are installing more renewables than nuclear. And China is pushing aggressively to reduce the cost of hydrogen. They are now exporting electrolysers at < $300/kW, a fraction of the cost from elsewhere. Cheap electrolysers are a crucial technology for pairing with intermittent renewables to get to a 100% renewable grid and remove the last tenuous argument in favor of nuclear.

I seriously doubt they will build that many reactors by 2035, btw.
There's bases and critical equipment outside of major cities, and some major cities are more critical than others. Further, even in a city like London or Berlin it's unlikely to get the whole city - the aim would be for important targets and places further from any of those are likely much safer.
Amen. The rank hypocrisy of the generation that fought their draft starting WW3 and a draft would be incredible.

There is nothing inherent about federation requiring provider lock-in. HTTP has redirect codes, XMPP has <Moved> stanzas, and even better the ZoT protocol (as used in Hubzilla) has crypto-identity over federated services so you can move by simply signing a new identity file mentioning new servers.

I had doubt before this.

I mean, everyone in Europe had doubt that anyone would respond to Hitler before he invaded Poland.

But when he invaded Poland, the world changed on a dime. I don't think there will be any daylight between any western nations now, when it comes to how to deal with Russia. You can't deal with a mad dog by giving it treats.

If there was any doubt before about NATO's mutual obligations, Putin has done away with that. Russia is about to become North Korea until one of Putin's close friends kills him. Which should take about six months.
Spark notes on issues: Lies by omission.

- No mention of lawson criterion performance.

- Only 3 nuclear MCF machines ever (ie that even have a Q).

- Conflates MCF machines with ICF machines (ICF machines are funded under DoE's "nuclear stockpile maintenance" line item, not energy research).

- No mention of plasma self-heating. ITER is 50% shy of lawson criterion performance necessary for a Q=infinity reactor (if it were a stellarator).
Yep

Fusion vs. renewables are not zero-sum. It’s possible to research one while supporting the other. All these fusion threads bash on fusion because renewables are here now, but in actuality fusion research and renewable rollouts can come from very different budgets.
Keep it simple, stupid. Hierarchical FS's work. Just don't be lazy and tidy up yourself.

Most of innovation on tech is not needed. Would you redesign a spoon or a fork being centuries old? No. It works.

Something like BeOS/Haiku's filesystem would have more sense, but yet useless on sharing the files with the rest of FS.

There was little support for joining NATO before Crimea was annexed. Ukraine wanted to join NATO precisely because it realized that it will be devoured piece by piece by its imperialist neighbor unless it does.

Ask HN: has animation become obligatory for a marketing website?
I made a nice infographic to show what our company does (https://svija.love/en/filters), and I felt that something was off.

The page is beautiful, but it feels flat, distant.

At some point since the ‹blink› tag was disabled for good in 2013, animation seems to have become a necessary, unavoidable part of web design.

Obviously, for a site like Hacker News (or Wikipedia), where you're reading text, a static presentation is fine.

But for a marketing website, is it still possible to build an unmoving website, that doesn't feel lacking?

Do you think that some kind of animation (carousels, parallax, mouseovers etc.) can now be considered obligatory?

I recommend a different strategy when you encounter annoying processes like this—insist upon following these processes, to the letter, and going through appropriate channels until the system collapses under its own weight.

In the Graeber model of bureaucracy [1], a functioning bureaucracy will not collapse. It will expand. It will add one or more people whose job is to badger professors toward compliance...and whose function is to expand the empire of the bureaucrats above (for this is why many requirements exist at all).

"Silently routing around bureaucracy” is a good plan if what you’re doing has some real importance to it.

If that's not the case, there's a chance your job is toward badger-professors-toward-compliance end of the spectrum.
