Just want to voice support for what you’re doing. Just today there was an excellent article on Politico [1] explaining that one critical component of the world’s response to Russia must be for Western corporations to cease all business with Russia. That income is what has enabled Russia to build up enough of a war chest to do this. You guys are ahead of the curve.

The Arduboy is $60. I don't doubt this thing is more capable that the Arduboy, the hardware is probably nicer, but they're both tiny fidget toys for small games- and one is 4x pricier than the other. So it's not like cheaper indie handhelds can't exist.
Open source projects are kinda like that. Besides, many people look for something "not-serioues" when choosing after-work hobbies. Collaborating in a challenging group problem takes away some of that brain power (and juice) that you need the next morning at work.

I do agree that it's not efficient, but unfortunately it's how things work. I, too, used to get sad about sub-optimalities of the world when I was a kid. Nowadays, I'm used to life as is, and have found that "change" is costly.
I think tech people overestimate how much the common folk cares about privacy. I think they "superficially" cares about them but they will never, ever give up convenience for it. So that does not surprise me. But it is interesting why people refuse to spend money to avoid ads when it clearly annoyed them.
I do remember seeing the Afghan submarines off the east coast of Florida. Thank god we got there in time to put a stop to it. Remember when we intercepted their intercontinental missiles that they launched from Kabul towards Houston?
I've spent a thousand+ dollars at namecheap over the years. I've been a huge cheerleader for namecheap to my cloud crazy friends because of the great value for what you pay for, and great support even for their shared hosting.

I'm not affected by this, but I won't be as evangelical as I have been. I won't be migrating away, but for my next pet project, I'll probably check another provider out.

I understand they are being emotional because they have employees there. But they should step back and realize they are just being discriminatory and mean to people that basically don't have a choice.

Should I find the closest Russian owned business in my city and protest in front so that the owner loses money? For all I know he sends money back home to his mother!

It doesn't make me feel powerful, I feel bewildered that you waste other people's time by having to parse an uncommon 5-digit format, rather than using the near-universal convention of only displaying the minimum digits needed.

It's superior in every way: minimal, unconstrained, universal.

You can find the answers to your questions by reading past HN content. Generally it's good to search before posting to see if it has been discussed prior.

HN has grown tired of the constant crypto questions. Your question comes off as derogatory and the title phrasing invites argument. You should be mindful of how your phrasing can create shallow discussions.

Great idea! Now go through public records and deplatform the deplorables. Use the "off platform behaviour" code that is so very progressive of you.

This is typically lovely and well-designed Teenage Engineering hardware. I'm sure the buttons will feel great.

I'm wary of buying it though, it might end up sitting on a shelf looking pretty like my Pocket Operator.
I've read similar things about lab notebooks at Bell Labs, which certainly makes sense given the value of the IP they were creating there (among other things, the first transistor was invented there).

Might as well transfer your domains right now even if you're not from Russia because now that this precedent has been set, we don't know when they'll cancel your country.
That's good news: that means it isn't moving.
Wow. Shameful.

People don't get to choose where they are born and describing other people and another society in such a way despite their current government is quite pathetic.

I hope others see your xenophobia and learn to treat others more respectfully.

Which virtue? Justice? Rage? They have 1700 Ukrainian employees, some in cities under siege right now.

They are at war and Russia is their enemy.
This is fun because American ideology makes this question tautological.

Any answer that could possibly be given will be invalid, because we wouldn't have invaded them if they were really a democracy.

Also I don't imagine that dead civilians particularly care whether the invaders who shot them were doing it in the name of democracy or not.
Very long overdue issue which would have been a non issue if competition law would have actually worked instead of being so toothless.

Not sure if telling legislators about it will make it any better. They'll say competition laws already exist. It's enforcing them that's a problem. May be someone should team up with EFF and file a major anti-trust case against Apple.
> if Putin did do the unthinkable, the West would almost certainly cease the flow of arms.

I suspect your reasoning isn't correct.
Fair enough, but for some categories of apps (e.g. messengers), most people find them indispensable.
The team hasn't verified that claim https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/ssd9vv/comment/hxn...

> We did not build a family scale prototype, such as 10 sq ft. It would be some efforts for us to scientifically test that scale one with existing testing setups, mostly due to the limiting size of our solar simulator. Our existing waterjet cannot handle that size as well. A tank to work with will be 100L at least for our testing.
I wish this were true but the reality is that with the exceptions of QubesOS and ChromiumOS, desktop linux distros grant any process trivial access to elevate to root as there is no sandboxing model. Any process can alias your sudo command to steal your password, or run privileged docker commands, etc. It gets worse when you introduce snaps, appimages, and flatpaks usually uploaded, usually unsigned, by randos. This download-random-exes style model is becoming default and encouraged by distros like Ubuntu.

Windows is still a joke security wise but MacOS at least has some mediocre sandboxing nor offering defense suitable for casual visual media focused end users though you need Brew to do anything useful as a developer which throws supply chain security out the window. Personally though no one could ever pay me enough to MacOS even if they did have a useful secure package manager and good sandboxing as I value freedom and privacy in addition to security.

AOSP on the other hand substantial hardening and sandboxing isolating apps from each other somewhat like running every app in a docker container. Combine this with the admittedly small collection of dual signed reproducibly built apps on F-Droid and this is as good as it gets in open source end user friendly secure computing.

Well... almost. Trouble is you can not find an Android device hat does not ship with nasty highly privileged spyware and proprietary kernel modules allowing cell carriers, chipset makers, and the governments they obey to track you and have varying levels of access to your device if they really want it.

IMO QubesOS is the only halfway decent general purpose OS in terms of security and privacy you can use today and in the end there is just no good mobile solution that meets my privacy, security, and freedom needs so I just opt to not have a phone at all for now.
If they turned off all your domains the next time America invaded a country, would you still be happy? Obviously they wont because by chance they are also in America, but it should make you think for a second just how fair this really is.

> Did they really anticipate to be greeted as liberators?

In a nutshell, yes. They apparently believed their own bullshit, which is hard to grasp but that seems to be the case. More and more evidence of extremely unrealistic timetables and tons of under-estimations regarding supply lines and required resources are surfacing. Initially the theory was that this was part of some grand plan but more and more the picture that emerges is one of extreme optimism compounded by old materiel, demotivated troops and outright incompetence.

That doesn't mean that this is over, but it could have been a whole lot worse at this point in time. Unfortunately the future is still wide open.
Counter point. It would be really great if the web app I work on was able to connect to Bluetooth enabled wands and directly read the RFID tag in the ear of cows as the farmer did things to them (like check if they are pregnant) and record that information in the web app.
Replacing a gas car with an electric car is always a win for the environment. Driving the car until it's a rust bucket just creates needless carbon emissions.
Is there something special about Alpha that makes it hundreds of times harder to emulate? X86 Windows XP on my M1 MacBook runs CPU bound workloads faster than my XP machine in 2004 did and that's not even using the extra X86 emulation specific parts of the M1 cores, just bog standard QEMU.

What was actually an antitrust issue: leveraging a 98% market share as a cudgel to move into a new market by

1. Including a free competitor in a hot new market

2. Threatening hardware OEMs with financial penalties (not getting OEM copies of Windows) if they continued the practice of bundling the primary player's product (Netscape)

Back then, Web browsers were something you went to a brick and mortar store and paid good money for a disk to get. They weren't just handed out for free online. Microsoft flattened the competition in a market they were not previously in by leveraging their dominance in another market.
I think some of that "proof" goes beyond "web". I.e. there is a way to deliver apps without going through gatekeepers, but a major gatekeeper is blocking that.

Innovation being actively blocked today, includes streaming games and other apps, cloud hosted apps, etc. And we will never know how much innovation is being blocked if there is always a gatekeeper.

This innovation freeze isn't just about "web" technology. It is blocking whole business models today.

And there is no reason "web" technologies, when free to improve, can't acheive parity or near parity with native apps in the future, with regard to performance, security, aesthetics, etc.

"Web" is just a historical starting place, not an impediment to future capabilities.

Some of the smaller airports that I've been through give you a laminated PreCheck card after they've checked your ID and ticket. You hold onto that for a few seconds until you're called up for the next stage of the process. The officer takes the card, places a PreCheck indicator on the belt alongside your luggage, then un-ropes the metal detector and waves you through. Large airports have dedicated lines for PreCheck and don't require all this.

They also fail to acknowledge the thousands deaths on both sides since 2014 until today, since the coup and introduction of Maidan snipers to kill the innocent. To name a concrete example, you can freely consult the magnitude of the casualties related to the Donbas-related conflict alone (some 13,000-14,000 lives since April 2014). Part of the staff is Ukrainian...they ought to know.

Why today? Perhaps the answer lies in the field of sociology or psychology.

As pointed out by others before me, this mainly pushes affected customers to transfer domains to Russia-based providers, increasing their profits (a little) and sphere of control (a little more).

>This becomes an issue when you die or sell your house and the new owners don't know anything about maintaining solar roofing

I'm setting aside the "when you die" part, but acknowleding its presence.

However, the new owners get a small tear and a tune from the world's tiniest violin. They know the panels are there when they buy the house. It's not a surprise at closing. If they decide to buy the house with that knowledge, then that's on them, their realtor, their inspector, etc. It's like saying someone that buys a full size truck and complains they didn't know the expense of fuel.
Some airlines have flight attendants hawking credit cards.

That’s fair. We were not digging through rocks.
It's pretty typical for rhetoric in that part of the world. People in other parts of the world have similar responses to American speeches.
This is an extremely big mistake. Not in the sense of politics, but because domain name providers are entrusted by the community to manage a very important and valuable asset.

A smartphone is a computer that is more involved in your private activities. For example, a phone is likely to be on your body when you move around the city and talk to other people so it is exposed to more private information about you than a stationary desktop will be.
You're right: I realised that the Russians I know skew urban and young and are not representative; and Putin seems to have majority approval [1].

Still not sure that changes in attitude will come about by making life more miserable for ordinary Russians; and even if the majority disapproves of Putin, there is not much they can do about it [2].

> arguably the less culpable the population is

This may be, but it begs the question: who is most responsible, then? Certainly not the people outside of Russia, yes? If the Americans invaded Russia, for the sole purpose of arresting Putin, this would result in worldwide, humanity ending nuclear devastation, including in Russia. It simply must be the Russian people that hold the most culpability for holding Putin to account then.

Is it fair? No, certainly not, but tell that to the Ukrainians being murdered by Russian people right now.
So why didn’t they take this action against US citizens when the US government attacked Iraq?
The only company mentioned by name in your priorities is Apple.

Your comments about Apple are valid of course, but to convey more credibility and eliminate accusations of astroturfing, you probably should list some issues with all of the big players. I’m sure you can find many issues with Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, and others.
I forgot the program, but older, probably many older, programs used to allow editing Rich Text formatted files in both a visual mode and also in a behind the scenes mode. The format codes could be both edited and copied.

However that requires a smarter program to display the data the intended way. CSV files, and their cousin of sorts TSV files, can often be sufficiently read both raw as well as on line printers.
> analysis on whether your opponent has made a mistake cannot assume that they are so smart they'd never make a mistake.

why not? You assume they are perfect logical agents, capable of making any true deductions from known information. After all, this is what you'd do in chess.

The errors they could make are things like forced errors or deliberate misinformtion from the west.

> Plan9 clone() was not designed to support POSIX threads; IIRC they didn't exist and Plan9 didn't support POSIX. Wasn't Linux clone() mostly a copy of it?

Plan9 doesn't have clone(). When they say clone was designed after plan 9, they just mean the general namespacing (which was not configured from their fork or new_thread equivalents). Linux clone was very much designed to support posix threads.

> The L4 approach sounds pretty reasonable; not as convenient as fork() in the common case but not as much of a pain as, I don't know, opening a pty or opening an X11 window. I guess L4 syscalls are a bit pricier post-Spectre.

Yeah, they got more expensive having to hide kernel address space layout.

> How are you going to handle atomicity in your one syscall?

Capabilities to bpf style programs that look like any other kernel objects and can call other kernel objects, combined with a scheme where mutex/spinlock wrapped objects have a locking order declared upfront that can be statically checked, combined with RCU primitives that the VM program verifier knows about and can make guarantees about. I'm not quite happy with the locking and RCU interfaces at the moment though, it feels like there's a more general solution, but each I've come up with has some real sharp edges. : \
