While this is much more common now, it's not new either.

Could it be that it was detected yet ignored as to render the Russian air defence pentest useless?
That's not a rest-y API.

You want

GET /orders?user=Id

Orders can be searched on many dimensions, not inherent to users
I thought of it as the voiceover to a Super Bowl commercial — traditionally car commercial, but these days it would be for crypto.
Unfortunately, no. There are too many sources of misinformation and disinformation in the world, and no one person on the planet can possibly know them all, or defended themselves against all of them.

At this stage, we are forced to depend on others to protect us against the majority of the worst offenders, and even then > 99.999% of the people are not equipped with the tools necessary to do the job, or the knowledge and ability to use the tools, even if they did have them.
You can now install Windows 11 on a Surface Duo if you’re feeling brave
Org mode also let's you tangle your code chunks into separate files. And you can specify different files (or the same) for different chunks so you can kinda have programs split into files while doing everything in org. I really like this feature, I used to use Knitr but I don't think it's possible to tangle different chunks to different files.
System76 actually _does_ have good Linux kit. They work hard to make sure it actually works (usually in the firmware), they don't just slap Linux on some white box odm and ship it.
I miss some of the social aspects of working in the office: trying a new restaurant with coworkers, discussing weird books and movies, stock ideas, etc. Actually working in the office? Not so much.
Isn't that the same news organization now?
Yeah, I'm not buying the broad premise of this article given that salvage parts from the worst offender (Tesla) are routinely used for the conversions you mentioned.
The mechanism to disconnect the power cord is patented, and the patent is not licensed to the end user. Using it to disconnect the power violates the patent and risks lawsuits. A copy-protection scheme is based on the AC signal sent through the power line. Cutting the power cable or turning off power is a circumvention that violates the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Bashing the screen in creates a derivative work that infringes on copyrights held by the broadcaster and producer.
Ask HN: What email filters do you use for founder-spam?
I get lots of founder-spam: people trying to sell me email lists, ways to grow my business, etc. Lots of these emails look similar, and I'm considering setting up email filters on certain words.

One thing I worry about is accidentally catching legit emails. I don't think I ever get legit emails that have the word "email list" in them, but I'm not sure! I'm also not sure how to best use gmail's logic to make a filter that applies to email with (1 or 2 or 3) and (4 or 5 or 6).

Any suggestions for how to do this? I wish the gmail filter got smarter and realized that I always junk emails that have certain types of content, and which are not from my previous recipients.
Tor Browser – 11.0.8 – (Android Release) 2022-03-12
This was one disillusionment of finally becoming fluent in a foreign language. I had kind of assumed all major languages would have similarly sized, disjoint bodies of content worth reading but English dominates everything, especially if the info is of any practical use, and only for particular cultural issues do we need to read in another language.
I feel like everything is this way nowadays.

Apparently the only real news left is embassy cables.
It may be close to a technical impossibility, but the Circle compiler by Sean Baxter is attempting it. That's based on an aggressive "de-pointerization" (see [1] in particular for details). There's also academic work[2] to compile C++ to shaders. I agree that it's an open question how well that will work out.

Also as pointed out elsethread, now that buffer device address is starting to land, the friction to compile pointer-intense C++ code should decrease even more. These are exciting times!

It depends on when they do the rounding.

If they round the final distance number, all you've done is reduced the accuracy to concentric circles like a dartboard, and you simply need more samples to regain the precision.

If they round the input location to the centroid of some larger region-- a square several kilometers on a side or a map shape for a region-- there's no precise information to be leaked.
I wish more corporations and organisations would condemn the actions in Yemen and israel.
+1. I had the same experience joining Microsoft. I wasn't super thrilled by Azure at first, but was surprised by how much functionality it had. Fast forward a couple years later, I moved to another big tech company using Github instead, which had setup integrations with a bunch of different external tools (and this one was no slouch when it comes to engineering tooling). I can't tell you how much I missed Azure, even though I've had my issues with MSFT.
How about just named after the situations they were observed in? Then when you give it a new pig sound, the model can classify it and we can decide how to respond to "slaughterhouse=0.8, castration=0.2" or whatever.

I'm especially suspicious of fighting being negative. Humans can get pleasure from fighting. Why not pigs?
Read the source for plain text mode, not HTML:

The page hasn't yet had the necessary viewport metatag added to prevent mobile browsers doing arbitrary and selective auto adjustments to the font sizes in an attempt to make it "better". (I presume this is what you are talking about - I don't do phones, grumble grumble :wq)
I've had fantastic existence with System76 support, with caveats:

0. They are Colorado business hours

1. They don't send someone to your location to fix stuff.
True enough, but I would still recommend that API responses normalize to UTC (Z suffix) in the general case and document as much, and if actually returning a timestamp with a specific timezone, document the intended meaning.
There are a lot of valid arguments against ethanol, but performance is not one of them. If performance is the primary virtue, all performance vehicles should be burning 100% ethanol, and if in a place where sugarcane can be turned into ethanol, being carbon neutral. In other places, pay a corn-carbon tax.
This is literally a commerical project that will most likely come with a form of lock in (ie: can just anyone make modules?)

Tech is still fun. It might just be that you're getting older.

Arduino and the like are probably the least commercialised and they are ok. But everyone grows out of them.
If you stick to all but the bleeding edge of bicycles, they're easy to maintain.

If you don't buy anything with electronics, the worst you'll have to deal with are hydraulic brakes. Which have been on cars for how many decades?

You've been able to get them on bikes for 20 years, and motorcycles (which have similar packaging and space/routing constraints to bicycles) far longer. They just aren't that hard to work on. At the risk of getting into no true Scotsman territory, are there any decent bike shops that can't fix them? Fifteen years ago, I'd forgive a shop that couldn't deal with them. It's table stakes now.
Seriously. If they’re too busy making sketchy copyright decisions with their AI code generation to bother with basic usable UI, they don’t deserve to be the de facto home of open source. I’ve been giving sourcehut a try, and the simplicity is refreshing.
We don't use PATCH but use a PUT for partial objects. We have validator code at every endpoint and we validate both creates and updates. When a PUT comes in, the validator knows what can and can't be changed. Depending on your role, the validator lets you change certain things can be updated as well. A PATCH would need these too and now you have more code to deal with. Also, it requires the developer to now worry that they have all the fields for a complete object or not.
Sure. Go ahead and get your land mass compressor out. North America is huge and spread out.
It was still relatively common at that time for VCRs and gaming consoles to have an RF pass through and would broadcast on channel 3 or 4. You just tuned the TV to that channel.
The HTTP request APIs pass through any method name you write.

The HTML forms only support GET and POST. Try it.
Scraping Tool for All SEC Fails-to-Deliver Data. (Gaming Wall Street)
That makes sense, all this talk of VHS copy protection in this thread, I never knew this existed. Apparently my parents had cheaper VCRs because I never had any issues copying a tape.
There's no denying the appeal of underdogs like SirHat :)
Wasn't asked but wanted to chime in as well: I think they share some of the content now that the FT is owned by Nikkei. I notice some Nikkei bylines in the FT from time to time.

For the record, I find the East Asia (and Europe) coverage decent. It's their US section that I'd say is in dire need of an improvement. Overall, a lot boils down to individual correspondents/writers: some are great while others not so much and thus best skipped (although the comments can also provide a lot of insight if the topic as such is interesting).
Well, no, it's not a great opportunity for every local library to do this. As you suggested, they really don't have anything remotely like the staff and infrastructure.

But it shouldn't be a job for every local library. All that is needed is one copy of the book; not every copy of the book. And for more recent books, there shouldn't even be a need to scan it; there should already be a digital version (whether if it was made publicly available or not).

Granted, long-term storage and viewing of digital files seems like an open-ended problem in itself, regardless of who is handling it. But so is long-term storage and viewing of physical books. The books take up space, must be handled with care, and will deteriorate eventually (though hopefully slowly as preservation methods have advanced).
Exactly. Many people are insensitive to blurring / smearing artifacts, and so what you very often see is a comparison between an old codec at a medium bitrate with noticeable artifacts (e.g. JPEG picking and ringing) and a new codec at a low bitrate with different artifacts that the author just didn't notice. It's no longer a 1:1 comparison. Is the modern codec still better? Probably, but unless the new codec is identical to the old one with less bitrate (hint: it rarely is), you can't prove it with differently sized comparison images.
Video2X: Anime/GIF Upscaling with AI
I would rather you not assigning hate to the entirety of autistic developers. There are plenty of autistic developers who are fully capable of designing great APIs with awesome usability. Being autistic has nothing to do with how APIs are developed.
> Overall crime rate is calculated by dividing the total number of reported crimes of any kind by the total population, then multiplying the result by 100,000 (because crime rate is typically reported as X number of crimes per 100,000 people).

There are lies, damn lies, and statistics.
I think it stems from the fact that fighting terrorists is asymmetrical warfare. The Russians can go just as hard as the US can, though the US has vastly more military resources and the power of NATO behind it.
Glad it suits you! Let me know if you run into issues :)
Will do - as I mentioned in another comment, it can be a bit subtle to find an apples-to-apples comparison, but we'll soon add some cross-platform that we think are reasonable.
With the Physical Address Buffer extension, many of the pain points in this area aren't impossible anymore, even if Vulkan SPIR-V overall is still painfull vs CUDA/HIP/ROCM.
I think part of the calculus is that doing nothing could also trigger a world war, because it would embolden Russia to take even more territory.
This is a nice concise plan that also highlights the utter shitshow that SEO has become.
This sounds like I’m “holding my phone wrong.”
How do you think marijuana got legalized, Prohibition got repealed, or Lawrence vs Texas got government out of the bedroom?
We had that top-loading JVC with the big plastic buttons on the front and a wired remote. That thing was built like a tank.
So the line of logic here is EVs are hard to repair, therefore you don’t own your EV?

They could have titled this clickbait article “The demand for EV mechanics is very high”.

The jump from hard to repair to you don’t own your vehicle is asinine. By this logic, I don’t own my TV, MacBook, Car door opener, Bluetooth headphones, or my Hot Pockets either. Hot Pockets are nearly impossible to put back together once opened.
On an iPhone, that's what disabling "Precise Location" does.
Exactly. Once they turned the page into JS framework soup instead of regular HTML, the anchor links don’t work worth a damn.
> Your suggestion means convincing them to change it so that most of them will not get reelected and will lose all power. That can never happen, human nature.

That can happen, and has happened throughout history. It tends to be a bloody ordeal though.
In Polish, Sila is strength as well.
Gosh, I used to fuss over metadata constantly back when I managed my 500gb library of music. MusicBrainz would frequently mess up fields like composer, album artist, and especially remix credits and formatting of the same (using brackets instead of parentheses, "Rmx" instead of "Remix," etc)

I would go on weekend long binges of cleaning up the mess. The neurotic side of me misses having the busy work, but the practical side appreciates having the free time.
You're very welcome! Stay in touch - I've listed some contact methods here and there in the thread, and we'd love to hear from you again.
one of those unfortunately-reasonable-at-the-time decisions that have had distressing long-term consequences

This is a very silly statement. Of all the harms to the environment and human health misuse of mercury has caused, the share belonging to thermometers would probably be invisible on the pie chart.
I’m gonna say it:

Many rest apis are lazy and developer friendly, not consumer friendly.

If you have related resources, let’s say, product and product options as two distinct endpoints:

- /api/product

- /api/options

Then, and I want to be clear here, it is impossible for a client to perform an atomic operation on multiple distinct objects types.

Let’s say the client needs to add a product with a single option or fail.

You can create a product.

You can create an option.

You can add an option to a product.

…but, at some point in time, a product will exist with no options on it.

This kind of “pure” rest api is simply convenient to the developer because they push the problem of object consistency to the client.

…but that’s not a client concern.

If a product needs to be associated with an option on creation, then your api should offer that as an endpoint.

It doesn’t meet the “standard” for a rest api?

Too bad.

Write APIs that do what the customer / consumer needs not lazy APIs that just make your life easier.

I’ve worked with a lot of APIs and you know what I do not give the tiniest moment of care about?

Consistency.

I do. Not. Care. If POST /api/foo creates an object, or if the endpoint is /api/foo/create.

Messy? Inconsistent?

I don’t care. Just put it in the documentation and I’ll find it and use it.

…but if your api forces object relational consistency onto me as an api consumer, you have no idea how much pain and hassle you’ve caused me having to implement my own set of fake transactions over your stupid api.

Please, write APIs for consumers, not according to “the rules” of rest APIs.

…and provide documentation. :)
Kids show mysteriously low levels of Covid antibodies
While I don't know what happened in that case, was it worse than castration without anesthesia? Or is this fear you have more about the human intent than the effect on the animal?
What makes Breezewood unique is that you are forced off of a freeway to drive through that strip. Otherwise it looks like many other American roads.

I think the internet without Adblock is more like these heinous digital video billboards in Los Angeles that appear above the road, directly in the line of vision of drivers. Why these are legal is incomprehensible to me.

While it is true that the Russians are most at fault morally, acknowledging that does nothing to stop them now of to stop things like this from happening again in the future. If we actually want to make things better, we need to think about what we could have done/could be doing differently.
There really is no question that Putin was behind the bombings. This American Life had a recent episode about them. https://www.thisamericanlife.org/763/transcript

Hi! I am one of the authors of https://graphite.dev, we are basically a really fancy client to GH that lets you review others PRs without making them change their workflow at all (posts everything to GH etc)

We've had a file tree for some time now (along with some of the other feedback I'm seeing in this thread, large diffs etc).

If anyone wants to give it a spin, happy to give you an invite :)
That depends whether you mean a human who knows the instructions exist or not or a human who hasn't worked out how to use shifts to do integers mul/div by 2 yet.
Based on that description, you may be using PUT in conflict with its semantics (namely, idempotent way to replace an entire resource).

This is one reason why I don't bother with these methods and stick to GET and POST.
Solar Panels Built from Waste Crops Can Make Energy Without Direct Light
To some. I have always produced music in the box. In fact I can't play an instrument beyond what is needed to input MIDI data into the computer.

If musicians study their software like they study their instruments, they would realize that the two are closer than they think
Unfortunately, I _think_ the majority of it comes down to the exchanges more-so than the data brokers.

I can't speak to exact numbers, but I believe we were quoted like 6 figures/year for JSE and I think we pay like 4 figures/year now…? Exchanges can and do charge whatever they want…so when you need realtime data explicitly, even if you skip the data brokers, you'll just have to pay. You legally cannot use data for profit from some exchanges (if I recall, JSE is one). Some exchanges seem to have a majority of their revenue coming from data licensing.

Oh, then don't get me started on ISINs and all the failed "open source" attempts to not use ISINs and how some ISINs can be used without licensing while others require it.

---

My company is mostly AU/NZ (mostly because of tax, but quickly growing), so most of these data services didn't even support us until the past few years. We use a combo of like 10 data brokers to piece together coverage and we're still missing huge datasets (unfortunately Finnhub doesn't seem to cover any of them, but will look).

Luckily I focus on the Frontend/UX of our product and avoid this drama, but do feel free to reach out (contact via profile; I'm easy to find).

Good luck! I do like the idea of education, will follow. Even though I've worked in this industry for 5 years, I still find new stuff on the retail investor side of things. We'd love to educate more in our product, but we just partner with people instead..
I know, but I have not found this very helpful (yet?) in my workflows.
Having bike toured, I agree that touring bikes hit a sweet spot for performance/maintainability ratio, but that's a very intentional choice on the part of the folks who make them.

You get that by speccing good, but not top-end uber-fancy parts and building 26" wheels with solid, but easily replaceable parts. And a good saddle.

As for the other ends of that spectrum, I'm going to paraphrase a quote I heard about GM cars years ago: a Walmart bike will run like shit longer than a bike with electronic shifting will run at all.
"... makes me consider vegetarianism."

You mean veganism? Egg chickens and milk cows generally don't have a life much better than this (in industrial operations).
Well they said use GraphQL, which is a solid way to avoid REST's clumsiness once and for all.
ATMs as we understand them might not exist at that point. They'll become the financial equivalent of the payphone. Banks will be 99% web-based and money will be exchanged in the form of digital dollars.
Got a Dell latitude 7420, wiped Windows 11 off it, installed Ubuntu, and I was happily surprised that everything just worked.
There is only one underlying issue — the fact that institutions cooperate with each other and shut out the public. Only a strong culture of democracy and government accountability can actually protect the public. Without that, it doesn't matter whether the banks are private or state-owned; they control our money all the same.

Absolutely.

Lately I’ve been thinking about what it would be to work every other week.

Half of the year, getting full weeks of just living life. Amazing. The plus side for the employer is that you get a full week of my attention on a very reliable schedule. This would be the pinnacle of work life balance for me.

Putin’s Worsening Problems
Plaintext mania these days is like the minimal fad (that raged few years ago). Where for minimalism one does every sort of stuff, each of those, at every step defeats the very purpose of minimalism one by one.

There’s md (of different flavours; which wasn’t even needed because the conventions md is directly copied from were already sufficient - and yes, let’s argue about it!), then there’s text bundle and there are more, propriety apps have their own plaintext.

So while there actually a plaintext - the plaintext - nobody does the plaintext.

Whenever I need plaintext I just do plaintext using “-“ and tabs+- for lists etc. In case you missed almost everything is there in plaintext - line breaks, paragraph, punctuations, special characters etc. And just too many plaintext apps as well to keep you happy.
It totally depends on the individual. I use my giant pick up truck every single day. I’ll also be the first to get a viable electric when there’s one available. I get groceries in a Nissan Leaf.

Cars and trucks aren’t the issue we should be arguing about. Nothing is being done about shipping, cruise lines, and big industry. It’s a classic tactic for corporations to focus the government on individuals instead of themselves. Here you are falling for it hook, line, and sinker.
The incentive to lie and manipulate is greater now than in the past. New information technology (nowadays social media....) increases the benefits of lying, and decreases the costs of doing so effectively. So I would expect there to be more today than 40 years ago.
