Ask HN: What are some examples of websites where the author learns in the open?
I like how the author of https://wiki.nikitavoloboev.xyz/ has created a huge online repo of bookmarks, links, knowledge, notes. The author claims to learn in public.

Are there more such examples of websites where the authors learn in the open and maintain such a website?

Is there a popular term to classify such websites? The website I've linked above claims to be a Wiki but I think it is very different from a Wiki. Wikis generally have an edit user interface to easily edit and maintain the wiki but the example above seems to be powered by Gitbook. I wonder if there is a separate term that classifies such websites?

Anyway getting back to the main point of this question... If you have examples of such websites where authors learn in the open, please share it here.
This is interesting - i thought it would be something complex, but really its just using the fundamental meaning of prime.

Literally what its doing is turn a number in to all 1s, if the number is 1 return true. Otherwise try all possible ways to put it into 2 or more equal groups, return true once we find one that works.

You don't get closer to the definition of "prime" than that.
If you ran an exit node, it's possible but bridges are just the entry points and are ok.
What gruez said is correct. Hardware token have been mandated for EV certificates for a long time by providers to prevent leaks.

I'll also add that Amazon Key Management Service, Azure Key Vault, and Google Key Management Service store several hundred million private keys combined with no leaks so far (they are non-exportable and access is audited)

It is very rare that we see malware signed by a publisher's certificate, which is why it is in the news every time it happens.
That reason is largely the euphemism treadmill, but I would grant that saying "ultra ghetto" is deliberately insensitive and no professional would use it to describe impoverished areas.
Nonsense! Putin had always planned to rebuild the USSR. Ukraine, Moldova,... he was going to get them back piece by piece.

Putin's argument that Nato was a threat is just a distraction. There's nothing Nato could do if Ukraine joined Nato that Nato couldn't already do without Ukraine.

Mearsheimer's argument that Russia should be left alone to violate the sovereignty of her neighbours is just bonkers. Thank goodness he was ignored.
The Thai submarine thing - that was a poor decision on his part.

But the technical things you mention, like the stop sign “rolling stop” - I think that’s a bit slippery. Where I live, 2mph is definitely considered stopping. I would not think twice about going 2mph through a stop sign, as long as that gives me enough time to evaluate whether it is safe to proceed or actually come to a complete stop. And if it bothers you that much, you could always have put it in “cautious” mode or whatever it was called.

As far as full self-driving goes, have you seen recent versions? It is seriously impressive. Still not level 3/4 SAE so I guess it’s technically a lie, but they are working hard to make it less of a lie. It would be nice if they were more upfront with their customers about what capabilities exist today, vs what they hope to achieve in the near future.

Yes. Ukrainian wants a war with Russia. Often people want the results of their actions. Ukrainians are taking actions that result in war. They are shooting at Russians, Russians are shooting at them, that is a war. If one of the sides is not shooting, then it's no longer a war. Ukraine could lay down and simply give up the 'things that don't matter' (from your OP) and war would end. Ukraine could capitulate. Ukraine could end the war by surrendering. Why don't they?

To be clear: War is very low on the list of Ukrainian's wants, but Ukraine wants war more than it wants surrender.

I, possibly, saw the same thing. I thought it was fascinating. The 50-somethings mostly following the party line. The 20-something was pretty clearly anti-war and anti-Putin. The 30-something said with a wry smile, "I don't want to talk about it because that is dangerous, here, you know." And my favourite, the 70-something saying, "It is awful. We have lost 500 already [the officially admitted death toll], and for what? We don't know!"

What changed with respect to Ukraine becoming a NATO member, the one thing Putin really cared about? For some time the Ukraine itself decided to no longer pursue a NATO membership but did NATO reconsider the Bucharest declaration that states Ukraine will become a NATO member if they desire so?

Economic pressure is usually cited as a primary factor leading to the end of apartheid, beginning in 1990, which is before the collapse of the former Soviet Union. I'm not disagreeing that the collapse played a part, but I think it's safe to say there was no single cause. Without ever-increasing sanctions the ball might not have started rolling in 1990. Without Soviet collapse it might not have unraveled quite as fast or in the way that it did.

I might reframe the discussion slightly. Wikipedia is growing with respect to time (that would seem factually-verifiable if the number of topics with a Wiki page is larger in each successive year).

Increasing the number of pages should increase the number of pages that are controversial, problematic, or "echo-chambers" in absolute terms.

Are they increasing as a proportion? Is this diminishing the utility of the site in aggregate?

> Blockchain is about never trusting anybody.

This is a common misconception - blockchain still requires trust, it simply shifts trust from central authorities to more nebulous entities such as anonymous developers, shady mining cartels, unregulated exchanges, the cryptocurrency oligarchs manipulating the prices, and even yourself to not lose your private keys.

Furthermore, when you deny a person's victimhood -- you are immediately considered a very-bad-person (you are in league with the aggressor). Anyone who pointed out the Jussie Smollett hoax can attest to being treated poorly/as an aggressor. We also have #believeallwomen, and so forth.
There is nothing brave about republican governors in majority republican states following the misinformed party line for political brownie points on mask mandates and vaccines, in fact the exact opposite would have been brave and saved thousands of lives.

Maybe now the approach makes more sense since vaccination rates are higher but it certainly did not at the time.
People do not see that this is way bigger than Ukraine and it involves China and Oil and Gas and well as the fear of China and Russia not using the petrodollar anymore.

Good article. However it doesn’t say the Soviet Union propped up South Africa.

Rather it says that the ANC (opposition) was supported by the Soviets. So the apartheid government argued that apartheid was necessary to keep out communism.

When the Soviets collapsed, this argument weakened and more people were convinced to dismantle apartheid.
Passwords are sending secrets around. TOTP auth doesn't involve sending any secrets because the algorithm shouldn't be practically reversible.

My master password has hundreds of bits of entropy and only leaves my brain to enter it.

Most likely bad scenario is master password gets lifted from a keylogger and the database is stolen. I don't see what keeping the secrets in an app does to help that though.
I'm not sure you read to the end of my comment.

As far as I'm aware, all sides think this is happening for the same reason, they only disagree about whose fault it is.

You raised the possibility that Putin invaded accidentally because someone told him Ukraine wanted to be invaded and he believed them, I don't think that adds up and if anyone is actually saying that it's more likely Russian propaganda than a serious attempt to understand Putin's motives.

I'd heard the Russian conscripts sent in to kill and be killed in Ukraine had been told that was what was going to happen, but not sure how far up the chain the lie is supposed to have started, and how many actually believed it.
Nobody can win this war. Ukraine’s military is not strong enough. Russia can’t win this war short of ethnic cleansing which would result in even stronger sanctions from the west. It’s a lose lose situation.

Economic depression is an understatement. Hospitals crumble. Financial system crumbles. People will be dying due to missed screenings and having no money for doctors. This is a fact. Bombs are part of the equation, and calling this “just an economic depression” is the same exact line of logic that ruling party follows to justify the war.

Part of my family (wife’s brother, her parents) are still in Moscow, with very dire outlook on financial side. Our relocation is the only feasible way to keep them out of poverty.

https certificates leak all the time and we still use https. Something is better than nothing. Now, is it worthwhile to use code signing certs to try and certify the identity of the author? Maybe not, it was slowly phased out for https. But we certainly need something because the alternative (just download and run whatever) was tried and definitely did not work out. We don't want grandma doing the equivalent of 'curl http://x | sudo bash' 4 times a week.
Can you provide some substantial ideas about what you would like to see different and what makes the current model "garbage"? Otherwise it's not clear what you're advocating for.
My understanding is that it has gone out of favor as a theory. It wasn’t ever developed into much of a robust model and is sorely lacking in many ways.

But this is a layman understanding so I could be missing something.

2. It's more extreme than that though. YouTube banned a reputable news source for reporting on a story in which Trump tangentially mentioned election fraud. That's pretty Orwellian imo.
I'd argue that if this is sloppy, then the use of "you" instead of "thou" is sloppy too. Using "you" for everything is confusing. How can i possibly know if you mean plural or singular?

Sure some people might say "thou" is archaic, however so is using "regex" outside of academic contexts to mean regular languages. I don't see how one could justify one but not the other.

> You only have to take a look at what sects do to people to see the kind of gymnastics people can do in their reasoning because propaganda.

Or on the individual level -- I labour this point because I sadly see it in people I know -- at the kind of mental gymnastics an abused partner inevitably uses to explain away their situation and avoid challenging it.

The thing is, analysis paralysis happens even in situations without a malign actor.

Many malign actors have an instinctive, almost unknowing ability to exploit it.
Sounds about correct, but this setup provides adequate protection against phishing and MITM attacks. The KeePass database itself can be hardened with a 2FA token.
There are a few problems that need to be dealt with.

First is that "Reality has a well-known liberal bias". Which means lots of people want a "neutral point of view" which reflects their own opinion.

Secondly, there are lots of trolls and bad-faith actors. So a bureaucracy needs to be built up to deal with it in a structured and consistent (not necessarily fair) way.

Thirdly, what can incentivise people? Most editors aren't paid. Introducing money just leads to corruption. So you end up with fake Internet points which can be gamed.

Penultimately, can you appeal? I've had changes reverted, appealed, and reinstated. You can go all the way up the bureaucracy if you want to break out of the echo chamber.

Finally, fork it. If you think you have a better way of doing things - and can't make internal changes - go run your own Wiki and see how long your system lasts without falling to bias.
Sure, Fedora has Secure Boot. So does Ubuntu, Debian and FreeBSD. According to DistroWatch[1], 26 Linux distros out of 927 have built-in support for Secure Boot, so I stand by what I said.

Someone believing either the 2016 or 2020 US elections were “stolen” in any meaningful sense of the word would be under a similar level of propaganda to someone thinking that the Russian invasion is to stop Ukrainians killing each other, yes.
send message and then what? the propaganda there would tell that west is using any chance to put russia down and here is another example.

People in the west are too naive to realise that in russia no body asks what people think. The level of propaganda is so strong that people would believe whatever they are told.

The idiocy of those in the west who think that russians can decide something once they face sanctions is overwhelming. In the very long therm it may be but thus completely inadequate measure in the moment.

Another idiocy is to think that claiming that NATO isn’t the part of the conflict can prevent them to actually become a part of the conflict. The moment russia will decide they will invent the cause to attack just as they did with Ukraine.
The list of sites you are pulling from would be helpful.
Hmm. Wikipedia says:

"Russian proposals for visa-free travel between the EU and Kaliningrad have so far been rejected by the EU. Travel arrangements, based on the Facilitated Transit Document (FTD) and Facilitated Rail Transit Document (FRTD) have been made."

So it looks like you're right, and I'm wrong - it's not a proper corridor.
What's up with all these contrarian fuckhead comments? Obviously no one has any family in Ukraine.
I'm taking a formal verification course about this right now using the logical foundations volume.

This relies on the Coq proof assistant. From what I've begun to understand, they use 'higher order logic', which really means they can quantify (for all, there exists) over things with cardinalities larger than the countably infinite.
> Also, those so called "referenda" did not conform to Ukrainian laws.

Yet Ukraine had no intention at all to organize a "real" referenda under their laws. Instead, they preferred to keep on bombing those rebel regions in Eastern Ukraine. Now, they ask Russia to stop doing the very same thing.
Do not underestimate the degree of isolation for dictators in power. Nobody dares to bring the bad news, there is a fair chance that Putin is so isolated that he has no idea anymore what is really going on.

To bring bad news to a person like Putin is an act of bravery.

Have a look at that video of him belittling his chief of security and how the guy totally deflates. And that was only on the suggestion that maybe things weren't really going to plan.

I think there is a distinct possibility that Putin did not have all the facts before embarking on this invasion. And with every day that it continues Russia is more rather than less committed to see it through, whatever the price because they need to be able to declare victory in some way, even if that means that in the whole of Ukraine there isn't a single brick standing on another. Rationality went out the window last week, it likely won't be back for a while.
I'm naive when it comes to WASM, but the first thing I thought is "that sounds conceptually the same as spawning a child process." Are there significant differences?
> I think most of you aren't really engaging with the substance of my comment.

That is because it doesn’t have any.

The idea that NATO expansion caused Putin to be have in this manner is simply not a credible argument. The countries of Eastern Europe have the same right to self determination as those of Western Europe, the US or Russia itself. Being an apologist does not make you a substantive debater, it makes you a patsy.
Your country is at war with Syria. So yes, you do live in war. It's not so noticeable however, I agree.

> First is that "Reality has a well-known liberal bias".

Uh...what? Where is the proof of this?
I feel that states are an outdated concept based on travel time and that we should eliminate a few layers of government to save tax money. There's no reason to have one law in texas and one in new York and pay two senates and two police forces. It just feeds disunity and bloated payroll. We should have abortion or not have abortion, have pot or not have pot. It's crazy that we all go to work every day and then shell out for federal senators and state senators and county executives and town boards and village boards. It's crazy. We could cut the deficit in half if we just unified laws and chopped the payroll. Proponents of local laws are always avoiding the issue that the exceptional law protects. And I guarantee that the money saved would more than pay for the problem being addressed by the law.

Do you think these findings from the Defense Intelligence Agency are overstating capability?

> Directed Energy Weapons. China likely is pursuing laser weapons to disrupt, degrade, or damage sat- ellites and their sensors and possibly already has a limited capability to employ laser systems against satellite sensors. China likely will field a ground-based laser weapon that can counter low-orbit space-based sensors by 2020, and by the mid-to-late 2020s, it may field higher power systems that extend the threat to the structures of non-optical satellites.

https://aerospace.csis.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/201901...

Here is a more academic article discussing the risk from ground based Satellite Laser Ranging systems to optical sensors, specifically when they are imaging the area near the SLR. I'm guessing the power required to damage structure vs optical sensors are probably orders of magnitude different.

> This density is 100 times the damage threshold of 106 J/m2, and will damage the pixel unless the laser light is filtered. In this case both the pixels and the filter may be damaged.
