Is there some point to blocking portscans? If nothing is listening on the ports then there is little harm to just letting them scan, right?

What I'm getting at is basically, if I have good rate limiting for expensive API's (which I need anyway), and I configure all my services the right way (which I want to do anyway since some software like docker likes to punch through ufw), and I don't care about somebody portscanning a bunch of ports that aren't open anyway is a firewall still a must in your opinion?
Always worth keeping in mind that professional athletes have a limited span of time until they will no longer be employable in their field, so they are under a different pressure to maximize their earnings than e.g. software engineers.
> DuckDuckGo is Bing, we know this because when Bing accidentally censored all image searches for "tank man", all image results disappeared from DuckDuckGo as well.

We know it because they’re open about it. The information was public before that incident.

I saw that on wikipedia, but I disagree. I think the way that he says each part of his statement implies that the previous part is wrong. So the parts are inconsistent with each other from his comedic perspective:

- I didn't do it.

- (I did it, but) nobody saw me do it.

- (You saw me do it, but) you can't prove anything.

The statements alone, not considering the perspective of the speaker in parentheses, don't strictly contradict each other, but the speaker contradicts himself. He's Bart Simpson; he definitely did it and he would definitely lie about it.
I actually didn't know that and am now 5x more interested in Rust. Thanks for the info!
Any reason you are archiving it?
When stuck in between and immovable object and an unstoppable force, yield. IE stop driving so much. I've cut my driving down 90% and I am happier, its crazy how driving makes people upset.

Their homepage is plastered with material advocating the US intervene. [1] [2] [3] [4] What are you talking about?

How can they simultaneously be pro-Putin and pro-Ukraine?

This sounds like conspiracy theory.

Monero is my favorite crypto project and the only token I still use today. Their randomX pow protocol is brilliant and the anonymity is opaque as you can get! Requiring those huge memory pages for efficient mining is a great solution for deterring mining botnets.

> I think the "dream" of truly private transactions was always unrealistic. Governments have many tools at their disposal to get what they want.

Unfortunately you may be right. I sure hope not.
>to me there is a clear trustworthyness hierarchy between the narrative of a society where I can still freely read, discuss and criticize these obvious pieces of misinformation

This no longer describes US society. We are better than Russia, but fall short of this description. Google actively delists information, including publications and statements from the US government and private citizens.

This extends beyond "misinformation" to categorical topics which citizens are not allowed to learn about
We should probably stop worrying what "Russia" or more precisely Putin thinks. He has attacked their neighbours, so why would other neighbouring states worry about retaliation if joining NATO or the EU? Russia is currently a retaliatory state, just like Nazi Germany. They will retaliate anyway when they get the chance. We should stop treating Russia with gloves. They need to be treated exactly like Iran or Soth Korea.
There's an old Russian joke about it as well, roughly "That was a long time ago and didn't happen anyway."
Yep, sounds like Dad.
How does this work for clean air vehicles? Do they still need the transponder?
>Griner didn’t choose to go play in Russia. The league left her no choice.

Ya that quote got me. Why is it so in vogue to give people no agency, like everyone is a child? Would I go to Russia for 5x the money I make now? It certainly would be temping and I'm not sure if I would or not, but I'm actively making a choice as a grown-ass man. I'm fully capable of calculating the risk and reward and determining what's right for me, because I'm a grown-ass man and not a child.
When I first learned about OS internals I felt the save way. All the cool stuff has been done. All the good ideas were discovered many years ago. If only I was born 20 years earlier...

But actually, there has been a lot of progress since then. There were plenty of cool ideas and innovations being made. It's true that it may not all be ground breaking, but the actual rate of innovation is increasing, not decreasing...
Just think about what your phone can do. It's amazing.
The post was also a poor explanation for someone doing modern physics. [edit: not true actually I should have read the rest of the post - it’s a good post]

Wald's approach in General Relativity is much better - he treats Tensors as a multilinear map from vectors and dual vectors to scalars.

He then derives the underlying coordinate transformaton rules, for the vector spaces used in differential geometry. But
I'm not an expert, but as far as I can tell, even a single database instance with a single database (or maybe no databases at all?) could constitute a "cluster".
I've done years of Java dev at many large corporates, so there's no uncertainty. Plenty of fear and doubt though. The language is getting much better, let's hope the ecosystem does too.
Without tremendous advances in energy production, propulsion, terraforming, water and food generation… about what we have now. The percentage of offworlders vs. The billions on earth are rounding errors. And, if we increase our lifespan it will probably drop the population due to the slower pace of existence.

If we don’t blow ourselves to bits or poison the world too quickly it will happen. 10k years took us from “gee, this civilization thing has promise” to debating living on mars. One generation took us from “can we fly?” To “isn’t he on the moon?”.

Just apply your talents to a little more than ads and data harvesting, ok?
In seventies Soviet Union decided to stop developing own computers and just copy IBM and Intel. With big delays 8086 was copied. Then Intel released 286. Soviet intelligence was able to get all documents and blueprints for that processor. Yet Soviet industry failed to copy that.

So I doubt that parents will be of any use for Russia.
I was about to say "there is no letter O, only number 0" but Wikipedia [0] mentions that California does have both. You can deduce which character it is based on position:

> California currently only uses I, O, and Q in between two other letters, for example "1AQA000".[citation needed]

I don't think manual everything is really practical these days, automatic gear box and windows is something most people would want even in a basic car. Even in Europe these days people move to automatic gears. But something like mid 2000 corolla or civic would be a good and reliable basic car, the question is how much it will cost to manufacture such car, if it will be around the 10k mark it will be a viable option.
I have always wanted to build something like this but for a more different business specific purposes, what's your goal with this?
No. There are several HOV facilities where it's just a regular lane, especially for 'part-time' HOV facilities (which are basically "this lane is HOV during rush hour, regular otherwise"). For example, HOV lanes on the NJT: https://goo.gl/maps/pKzjvAgFUhac1bva7
Ask HN: Are any computer architecture out there to compete with VonNeumann's?
VonNewmann's architecture has been around for quite a while - and as a software engineer I am very grateful for that, don't get me wrong. On the other hand, new programming languages keep popping up every year - okay, I'm being a bit dramatic here.

Is there any interesting project or study in the computer architecture space you would recommend? Particularly one where it could eventually compete with VonNeumann's for the mainstream or more specifically to compete for personal computing in large scale?

My thoughts on this come from this paper - https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/359576.359579 and this video from Bell Labs back in the day - https://youtu.be/tc4ROCJYbm0
Miniaturization trend definitely doesn’t help here either…
I used it a few years back, but for me the color temperatures never scaled right. I like my lights at 4500-5500K during the day, but it looks a little too warm on my monitor (f.lux defaults daylight to 6500K.) Maybe it's my lights/monitor, but I really wish I could set different curves, or at least different color temperature targets for my lights and monitor. f.lux didn't allow me to do that. It only gives options for "warmer" and "a lot warmer," which both look weird at night. I ultimately hacked something else together, but it was a little disappointing, because I really like f.lux.
Feedly appears to cache one feed for all subscribers. I'm speculating, but would it prioritize consistency above accuracy? Fewer complaints from people who are confused because that blog post they read yesterday is gone today.
It does seem like they are slowly resurfacing 101. Some sections have a mix of old/new like some lanes have been resurfaced recently. But who knows if that’s paid for by fast lane tolls or not.
It wasn't loading for me, figured I'd share if others were having the problem.
I agree to some degree, and expanded as much in a sub comment.

For some bizarre reason, the Bay Bridge toll plaza does not recognize the 1-2-3 settings on the newer FasTrak tags.

Yeah, except the last time I got in to this, it turned out that Texas was one of the very few states with a well-written sane driving rule.

Executive summary of Texas driving law: you must stay as far to the right as you can, without crossing the marker to the shoulder; if you pass, you must do so on the left, without impeding the flow of (oncoming) traffic.
> The alternative is to have access to all sorts of information, and piece together what you think is true, using your own critical thinking skills and ability to sniff out BS.

This strategy is vulnerable to supply-chain attacks on your information sources... which is exactly what Russian information warfare carries out.

The credibility of American and European "mainstream media" is oft-maligned but rarely actually demonstrated to be suspect at a large scale in the news departments. Editorial choices of what to cover and when are the most common complaint, which is a far cry from astroturfing and falsehoods made out of whole cloth that Russian sources typically engage in.
That seems more like "argument in the alternative" (see the comment by a_shovel).
I can't make heads or tails of why fasttrack has those messages "Tolling Begins Spring 2021", "Tolling Begins Spring 2022". Is this is a deliberately misleading message to get people to think that the system is not fully deployed and that the public is getting a courtesy heads up to start watching their lanes soon because they will be charged once the tolling actually begins? The tolling has already begun, why do they bother displaying these messages?
Does wisker form inside semiconductor also or do they use metals immune to that?
Has Sony turned off multiplayer for all Russian PlayStations? Microsoft turned off Xbox live? These are the things that will actually impact the population.
I don't understand what market Shapr3D is trying to target, it would be a great piece of software for doing quick designs for 3D printing when I don't need a full CAD solution, but the pricing is too high for anyone doing that. At the same time the extra cost to Fusion360 for professional work is well worth it for the extra features.
> I might conclude that my only options

I guess the point is that you were able to conclude that in the first place. You concluded there are options. An algorithm/decision removing one side of it means you do not, more so if you do not even get to understand why that choice was removed when you're making that choice.
What's unnecessary, a sense of humor?

Beyond and Impossible is doing well. Like solar, replacement would be harder sale. Focus on uniqueness, specific use cases probably better.
I’m not sure I agree because the advice from the article was mostly “grow the ops org” with a bit of push some ops responsibility back to dev teams, rather than seeing the ops org growth leads to further dependence on ops to get things done.
Your content sounds like it is good, but not unique. Paying money for temporary access to content that is easily found online, or in brochures at the vet, is not a strong use case. I know you clearly have stated that you think search results and vets are not helpful, but I respectfully disagree. I do not find it a challenge to navigate the lists I found online, and my vet takes time to talk to us about all our concerns.

Maybe you see something I don't, but this just doesn't seem like a problem needing a paid solution.
Obviously this “logic” is bad in the examples. But the brain is continually weighing contradictory branches of subjectivity. If multiple contradictory paths all arrive at the same conclusion, it’s rational to weigh that as evidence in some Bayesian way.
This is interesting. From Wikipedia on "Just Mayo" [0]:

"On October 31, 2014, Unilever (parent company of competing brand Hellmann's/Best Foods) filed a lawsuit against Hampton Creek for false advertising, arguing that Just Mayo cannot be marketed as mayonnaise because it does not meet the definition of the product specified by the Food and Drug Administration.[citation needed] The FDA requires that "mayonnaise" contain 65% vegetable oil and at least one egg yolk-containing ingredient; Just Mayo contains ingredients such as pea protein, beta-carotene, and modified food starch, none of which are used in mayonnaise according to FDA standards.[19] Unilever also noted the use of egg-oriented imagery in its promotional materials, and stated that its false claims were "part of a larger campaign and pattern of unfair competition by Hampton Creek to falsely promote Just Mayo spread as tasting better than, and being superior to, Best Foods and Hellmann's mayonnaise." Hampton Creek CEO Josh Tetrick denied any wrongdoing, believing that Unilever's lawsuit was meant to solely hinder competition.[13][20]

"On December 18, 2014, Unilever dropped the lawsuit so Hampton Creek could work with "industry groups and appropriate regulatory authorities" on resolving its labelling, while also complimenting the company for its "commitment to innovation and its inspired corporate purpose."[21] In August 2015, the FDA sent Hampton Creek a formal warning that Just Mayo's labeling was misleading due to the product not meeting the standards for "mayonnaise", and because of wording on the packaging and promotional materials that contained an "implied health claim that these products can reduce the risk of heart disease due to the absence of cholesterol," which cannot be included as it contains too much fat to be promoted with such statements.[19]

"In December 2015, Hampton Creek announced that it had agreed to revise its packaging for Just Mayo in order to comply with the FDA's recommendations. The new label contains more prominent statements surrounding the nature of the product, and contains an explanation that the word "Just" in the product's name is defined as being "guided by reason, justice, and fairness."[22][23]"

If it's so obvious why can't you explain it?
Of course there is, but if you perform an operation on a multidimensional array, there is no guarantee it corresponds to an operation on tensors, ie. the resulting tensor may depend on the basis.

Noooo Stripe not you.
I would argue that the problem is Beyond Meat is only kinda close in taste. Impossible meat is getting good reception because it's so close in taste (and I actually prefer it), and lots of other veggie burgers are doing okay because they fill the same use but aren't going for exactly the same flavor. Beyond Meat is almost in the uncanny valley of beef flavor.
This is not true. The only way they will be earning money from Orion is through an optional "Orion Pro" subscription of $5 dollars a month, or $50 dollars a year. This gives you direct communication to the developers, allows you to influence the development of the browser, and have access to a nightly builds of Orion.

We had a week long of daily security related challenges ranging from easy to hard for everyone to participate. From simple sql injection and password encoding to buffer overflows. Some were coding exercises, others were open ended questions, googling encouraged. Every challenge gave a number of points and at the end of the week there would be some prices for the winners.

A lot of people participated and personally I learned a lot and had fun doing it.

May require some effort to set up, but then again these may already exist online.
Isn't the joke that the particular piece of toast always postdates the particular slice of bread it was made from? I.e., toast is the best thing since sliced bread because first we had sliced bread, and then we toasted it. It's a dumb dad joke
Good point. Also, steam is invisible. What we see - e.g. from a boiling kettle - is condensation.
The "evil empire" has returned.

Stealing patents won't help them much. They never really figured out industrial production or global competition. Their main exports were natural resources (oil, metals), vodka --- and crime, lots of crime all over the world.

When Putin demanded that tractors be made domestically, they imported Czech "kits" and assembled them locally and declared the problem solved.

As Putin's friend Trump would say, that is really "smart", kinda "genius".

>It does work for that.

It does not. I used the moon thing from last year as an example. Here[1] is a very noncontroversial query that still yields factually incorrect results in the box at the top. Yes if you read the results carefully and think about it you'll realize it's wrong but then you're doing the same thing you would be doing otherwise.

>If Russia says ... that bombing hospitals is necessary to protect itself from Ukraine - that's of course disinformation.

Actually this story is really "wag the dog" style https://waronfakes.com/civil/fake-russian-aviation-struck-a-...

Every story you read now is propaganda.
West is just better and more experienced in this stuff than Russia.

>I'm interested in Russia losing in humiliating fashion, getting isolated, having its economy chopped down by 75%, and in the coming decades seeing the nation split into three or four countries and overall massively weakened

This scenario includes about 150 millions of people dead/suffering and world economy wrecked. How is this "moral"?
These three can in fact be all true at once, so the arguments are consistent, unlike kettle logic.

"Didn't mean to pull the trigger" does not imply the defendant could pull the trigger.
In my experience, this is fairly "advanced" knowledge. Lots of people who grind out SQL queries all day as analysts or vanilla software engineers don't know the SQL sense of the term.

> Most people who know either use, in the context of RDBMSs, know both, and resolve the ambiguity by context. This is fairly normal, it's very common for words to have multiple common definitions.

The RDBMS domain alone doesn't suffice to resolve the ambiguity because "structure of data" and "container of tables/etc" are both relevant. I would definitely contend that application developers and operators (though perhaps not DBAs) need to talk about "structure of data" a lot more than I need to talk about "container of tables/etc".
Isn't the "JournoList scandal" just "There was a Google Group that lots of journalists on the left subscribed to?"

Journalists have always talked to each other. The fact that we have an auditable mailing list of one instance of it just tells us something we already know.
Have any example on how to add kable to a graphql API?
I think it's even better if the burden of proof is placed on the prosecution (as it should be):

1. The prosecution must prove I returned the kettle in a damaged state (they can't).

2. They must prove I received the kettle in an undamaged state (they can't).

3. They must prove I received the kettle at all (they can't).
Lots of Ruby hate/snark on the thread. A primary criticism in regards post is that Ruby is not typed, hence the Nil error shown.

Ruby has recently introduced static typing and it’s been years in the making, due to a desire by the core team to do it well.

A major goal of Ruby 3, which was released in December has been adding an elegeaht and sophisticated type system to Ruby.

ref: https://developer.squareup.com/blog/the-state-of-ruby-3-typi...

I haven’t played with a typed Ruby product yet but I’m confident when I do that they approach they take will be logical and considered.
When I say commercial art I don’t mean it’s not sold, I mean it in distinction with fine art. Commercial art means for example product photography or designing a book cover

That said there are also public goods approaches, either where you have ownership without exclusive access (interesting but not obvious to most people how to productize) or grant models
That's not always true. German copyright law, for example, includes a right for artists to a cut of the proceeds for auctions in the secondary market.

Yes. As in actively inviting a speaker that will be protested (picking a fight) vs simply defending their right to give a talk once someone else has invited them (reacting to a fight).
If the API covers allow-all with a fallback to a prompt the'll use it.

Even with a deny all feature, they will use it if it's legally mandated, since apparently that's how we handle privacy now
I don't think that's the kind of separation they're talking about. It's technically illegal to cross that yellow line, but I've never heard of anyone getting in trouble for crossing out and back in to go around a grandpa going 45 in a 70. There are some HOV lanes in Florida that actually split into an entirely separate side road and some that have those soft rollover columns you can drive through but it will scratch up your car so it's really only for emergencies.
If that were true then the correct course of action would be to stop doing sports in despotic countries
Small nitpick on the comments about removing the headers that the browser request had made.

You probably don't want Accept: */*. If the value of Accept is anything other than */*, then you probably want it.
At Element we would love to get involved with this too. We urgently need better ways to demonstrate that Element Web hasn’t been tampered with in transit.

We currently use CF as a CDN for hosting Element however; I may be missing something, but: how do you stop CF conspiring to mess with the JS and publish a different hash?
Not to defend shitty drivers but many exits up the 280 and 101 on the peninsula don't have easy turn arounds if you miss an exit. If you miss an exit you sometimes have to go a ways out of the way to turn around. This is especially the case on the 101's exits. You can hit lots of traffic, lights, and no u-turn intersections before being able to turn around and fight the same back to the on-ramp.
