Forum upvotes and downvotes have no correlation with quality, though.

As implemented on Twitter and Reddit and HN, they are simply engagement features. In other words, the point of voting is not to surface quality content, it is to make site visitors feel like they’re doing something, and therefore be more likely to return. Karma scores, too, are not about rewarding quality but simply about creating artificial incentives for return visits.

Quality in forums comes mostly from careful human moderation. HN is carefully moderated by dang and others. Likewise, the highest-quality subreddits are those that have strict rules and active moderators that enforce them.
Man its much worse than culture wars. It's really about anti-choice an anti-customer decisions, all for the possibility for profit.
Nah, non-Electron GUI dev is a mess and I don't want to add 100mb to my app. CLIs are easy to write.
There's a movie with a similar theme, Captain Fantastic. Great flick if you like indie films.

How to Block Spam Calls and Text Messages
The solution to "Gemini doesn't do X" is "make a client that does X".

For example: a combination Gemini/IRC client would be pretty neat. Gemini documents can include IRC discussion links and open right up in the same client.

A lot of the early HTTP-based web was read-only - I mean how many Geocities pages were there in the mid-90's with nothing more interactive than emails and maybe little things like a guest book or whatever.
When the first sentence of the article contradicts the title, you need not go any further.

How low is the bar for submission to this place? I can say X, immediately followed by NOT X and it'll still end up on front page, huh?
while I wouldn't say that it's a totally "solved" problem, some of the terrible mishaps of bow doors on roro ships that occurred in the past 30-40 years seem to have led to much more stringent operational and engineering standards for door locking and latching systems.
This proprietary protocol controlled by a single entity offers nothing over Gopher.

I don't understand how anyone would give it the light of day.
Not trying to be rude here; Just trying to understand…

My issue is: sure, you can measure it, but does the result even make sense? Like, OK, we can compute how “random” an instruction stream is, but what purpose does it serve?

ISAs aren’t designed in a random manner, so what’s the point in comparing the entropy values of two different programs? The only thing I can think of is determining how compressible a given program is. But, that doesn’t tell us anything about performance/instruction (or byte).[a]

[a] For example, AES-512 can pack massive amounts of functionality into 5 or so bytes
Just store an offset amount from the start point, create a tangent line against the curve of time, and then as the limit approaches zero…

Well, Putin in particular has a pretty serious interest in not funding fusion, but that's just one example.
> In other words: it dropped around 1/10th as much as the difference between today and 1970.

Another way of putting it: We're back to where we were as recently as 2007.
If it's any consolation, the judiciary is the last bit of government where the predictable partisan assumptions don't always apply. (The dissent in this case included both Gorsuch and Sotomayor.) Conservatives generally complain that this is because appointees-for-life lean left as they age.
Presumably the apartment complex has to replace or repair their appliances. If the appliances failed a lot that would incur high maintenance costs. I don't understand how the complex employing unskilled laborers would reduce the cost of replacing or repairing failed appliances.
That makes more sense, sorry for the confusion. I don't think your expectation is unrealistic. I haven't run into anything like what you experienced, but my exposure to express under tight memory constraints isn't something I dabble in.
serious professional UAS pilots who fly with large collections of batteries specifically choose battery packs that are approximately 99Wh per pack, which fits within common IATA requirements for carry on luggage. on really big UAS such as for cinematic filming purposes these will commonly be connected in series for a 12S string. An interesting loophole which is applied differently, by different airlines, is that you can have multiples of 99 watt hour battery packs individually carried into the cabin, as long as they are discrete units.

another interesting note is that a number of $2000-3000 (USD) gaming laptops are also equipped with 99Wh nominally rated battery packs so that they're still legal to take on an airplane. I was recently shopping for a new gaming laptop and ran into this while evaluating the specs of 11th/12th gen Intel series things from the usual Taiwanese vendors (asus, msi) and their ryzen 5xxx based offerings.
Ya, it's certainly a art style that gets complimented by both the artists, and the developers that work on worldgen. There's a lot of grey edges as well; at our last release party we had an artist create an entire pre-made city, and load that in for players to explore at our release party. None of the city was proc-gen, but it was really great to see how the architecture was put together when it was crafted by a human, compared to how our different proc-gen cities/forts/encampments look a lot more like they're part of the landscape.

So basically
+ Cohesive world
+ Ease for artists
+ Doesn't need to look so real
Sounds like you want AMP...
Agreed. In general, composing together simple standards seems a far better option than trying to organically expand e.g. web standards to handle everything under the sun.

Please check this very interesting real-time Live Threat Map by Radware [1].

Most of these attacks are harmless and the attacks that you should be worried is the Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) types [2].

Around eight years back I've proposed a system for crowdsourcing in covertly detecting APT similar to the minefields concept being used in war and I still think it's the best way to reliably detect APT including zero-day attacks.

Few months back in HN someone proposed an open source solution for crowdsourcing firewall, IDS and IPS but cannot get the link for now on top of my head at the moment.

We have a metal "charging station" in the living room. It's the only place our laptops, tablets, and batteries in general are charged.

Phones are charged in bedrooms overnight though. But I figure this setup is better than having random electronics charging in random places everywhere in the house.

Correct. They never even allowed private servers or mods. This is also what killed Tribes: Ascend. The modern microtransactions model has made games like Starsiege: Tribes impossible to make by profit seeking corps.

Ask HN: I am seriously worried about security in FreeBSD
I have just finished reading through tons of security bug reports in the FreeBSD bug report archive, and also normal bugs, and I am "scared" about the lack of attention these issues get.

It's like no one "cares", or the few that does is simply overburden.

This proposal from 2018, with the problems it lists, still seems very valid: https://web.archive.org/web/20210401214138/https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arch/2018-March/018892.html

Are any of you - who runs FreeBSD in serious production (please home labs, desktop/laptop use, don't reply) - not worried about the current state of affairs?
I had never heard of this, and I'm a WA state taxpayer...

so admittedly having only read the article, I'm familiar with the theory that there's a number of fraud organizations out there that were in possession of the most vital personal data (name/DOB/SSN) that submitted false claims in 2020 during the earliest stages of the covid19 response, and got payments redirected to money mule ACH deposit accounts.

this happened in more locations than just WA.

one of the sketchiest things you can find on the internet, if you take time to research it, is the number of scammers posting "job openings" for things like a "accounts processing executive" for full WFH jobs. a certain percentage of gullible or entry level people who are too naive to know better fall for it. the general concept is to create a legit US domestic bank account that can receive ACH transfers and then forward the money onward somewhere else. usually ending up in some form of overseas account or cryptocurrency from which it cannot be retrieved.
RISC-V took steps to prevent chaos.

The application profiles (like RVA22) have a bunch of requirements on hardware that must be present, the boot process and interface the firmware offers to the OS (i.e. opensbi).
Let us know if you find any holes!

We currently have an MR where we're overhauling some of the auth, and I know in the future we do want to explore what else we could add/improve for our backends :)
Surprisingly enough (to some, including me), Microsoft's REST API design guidelines are both thorough and there's very little I'd object to.
It is an open-secret that NIF is not as much a simulator for fusion as for devices. They have admitted as much on their public site[1].

[1] https://wci.llnl.gov/facilities/nif

Edit: However it is good to note that in comparison with other fusion methods, laser based methods relax materials constraints I listed above simply by spreading the energy/particle fluxes over larger surface areas.

If you built a giant fusion reactor based on NIF you could reduce DPA and temperature requirements, but it would fundamentally be a "shot" based reactor.
Oh hey, I wrote this. It's pretty out of date, but it reflected the ideas that motivated me to get into Gemini in the first place. Hope it encourages you all to get involved too!
This sounds cool. Current block dedup really seems like a simple (naive) v1 compared to what should be possible.
Note: have been building/ running hybrid (in-office/remote) businesses since the early 90s.

It’s not binary. Think of a continuum of always-in-office <-> satellite team <-> wfh.

Most people would not plant themselves in a single point in that line (I would like to be in the office a few days a week, though I have friends who prefer and are more productive at 100% wfh). I used to lock myself in in my office sometime to be productive. And at times I have needed to work in a lab but could do data analysis etc just as well at home.

So instead of thinking “we need to start with a bias towards X”, think: how can we support all these modes and how can they even help people who stay in a single point (e.g. accounting who may need to be solely the office for security reasons).

E.g. keeping convos in writing not only decouples you spatially but in time. One can search for and return back to prior discussions. This can help everyone.

Recording and auto-transcribing meetings, not just zoom calls but ones in conference rooms frees note-takers and opens up new modalities. Perhaps I can skip that meeting and just skim the notes.

My gf likes working at big companies (basically FAANG). She says that even before Covid they were videoconferencing people in other buildings and even other floors simply because travel around campus was too slow. These modes should all be considered as falling on that same axis.

Frankly the (for many, new) communication habits around zoom calls have been a wasted opportunity to rethink the whole system.
I'm puzzled as to why Google search is getting worse. Doesn't the Adword feedback loop help?
The only hole I found was if you bypass UI hashing you can create an account that can never be logged in to, but... that's the most secure account I can think of.
> However I'm not really sure what's so hard to understand about the fact that the NYT is going to remove most controversial ones from a word game.

The most controversial words were not removed from the game. Unless you think "slave" and "bitch" (which were both removed) are more controversial than "cunts" or "fucks", which are both in the current NYT Wordle wordbank. This has been pointed out in multiple news articles, just in case the censors reading over the word lists in the first place somehow missed them (and yet didn't miss 'agora'), so it's an open question as to why 'cunts' is OK but 'slave' or 'agora' or 'wench' are not.
The door hinge on our refrigerator started cracking after about 1.5 years. It was covered by the credit card warranty, so I tried working with a repair company. They charged $150 to show up and say they couldn't do anything, then quoted $900 to replace the whole door. It was a $1200 refrigerator. I spent an hour and fixed it myself with some aluminum extrusion and a few rivets, then got reimbursed $700 by the credit card company.

My sister in law's oven failed with the self cleaning lock activated. It's an in-wall unit so the repair tech could only think to start cutting apart the wall. Instead, I took a hacksaw blade and painstakingly sawed off the lock. Since I was already committed, we then pulled out the unit and bypassed the failed thermal switch long enough to "unlock" the mechanism. That probably saved at least $1200...
> SheCodes which to me seems to prey on women trying to transition to a career in tech by teaching them web development (people specializing in web development is increasing quickly, and the field is becoming very inflated. Telling people that learning web development will get them a job or high salary may not be true in a few years.

Kind of an aside, but what's the consensus on this? It does seem like folks are swarming to web development nowadays (though it's felt like that for many years now, and market growth thus far seems to outpace the newcomers.)
That's a great question. What I've seen is versioning de emphasized. Good unit & integration test coverage to prevent refactor breakage. And when you make a large change that affects consumers of your library, you find a way to do it incrementally. E.g. instead of changing a function's parameters, you can create a second function, migrate everyone over, then delete the old one. And of course, you would not ordinarily modify another teams code without first getting their LGTM.

>chances are it'll still be full of all kinds of closed source crap like the Pi.

RISC-V's application profiles (like RVA22) do have requirements regarding some hardware that must be present (serial port with a specific interface), boot process and firmware interfaces.

These are there to prevent an ARM-like messy situation.
I do! We actually have an episode coming out tomorrow! (today? edit: it's already out!)

I'm really happy that I could get more integrated with the Rust Gamedev "Working Group", since I've been able to chat with so many cool people through the podcast, and host a monthly meetup to see what people have been working on. It's a great community!

Worth noting that it's not just the technical end of UI construction that's lacking. Many open-source web projects have crappy UIs, too. I'm a long-time full-time developer, decades-long linux user, and also wrapping up a BFA in design, so I think my perspective is pretty balanced, here.

With amateur developers, their code becomes less reliable the further you get from their development environment. The effect is similar the further you move from a developer's primary keyboard/mouse/big screen computing interface. The difference between interfaces intentionally designed by specialists and functionality exposed through a GUI by a developer becomes more consequential. Sadly, most open source projects not run by larger funded organizations are kind of allergic to usability contributions from domain specialists, so that knowledge just doesn't get rolled in like it does with commercial projects.

Most of the other developer/designer types I know don't even bother submitting design and usability improvements to open source projects. It's just not worth fighting people to make their software less awful to people who aren't already experts in it. It's a lot of work to put into something that will just get bikeshedded into oblivion by people emotionally attached to a bad ui. I don't know any developer who'd submit code to a repo controlled by people hostile towards code improvements, either.

The Nielsen Norman group has some good stuff on usability within hierarchical organizations— I'd love to see similar organization-level reasoning about this stuff for small dev groups. I'm positive these two adjacent and necessary roles can function together without a product manager saying so. In their original usability matrix, "developer-centric usage" was directly above "usability hostile" but they've combined those categories, and especially with non-desktop platforms, that's absolutely the right move.
Truthfully, I haven't updated Firefox in ages. On my other laptop I did and I regretted it immediately with their changes to the tab UI (which at first you could revert by disabling proton... and then they took away the ability to do that). I was eventually able to get them to a decent state again using some CSS chrome hacks I found here. But I don't feel like dealing with the asspain of bad UI changes on every update.

Anyway, my first reaction to this article was: They did WHAT to the search box and toolbar?? Another change I didn't ask for and will inevitably revert when I (maybe) update someday.

I used Firefox for years with no complaints. I don't need or want UI churn in something that worked fine already. Extremely frustrating to have these changes forced on me with little recourse (talking mostly about the proton crap here).
Thanks for the info, I saw the length matched the usual sha256 so assumed it ended there.

I'm from a bcrypt crowd which is why I offered the suggestion but as long as you're taking things seriously I'm all for it :)
we have a miele fridge, dishwasher, and oven (and vacuum).

Compared to the US high end competition they are vastly superior. It's a shame really. There are two reasons I suspect: 1) not available in big box stores where most people make appliance purchases, 2) simply name recognition

Google is not losing any appreciable amount of money to Vanced.
This seems incredibly biased and naive. If you want to just search for a tiny fraction of issues relevant to startups and coding, just add you site: filter or use HN search and move on. There's no anti SEO going on here, it's ranking by echo chamber on a metric you hope hasn't been manipulated (that much). Given the the breadth and depth of a fully functioning search engine, this wouldn't cover much at all either.
Well there you go! :-)
>It’s not wholly natural, this business of making our own tribes. And it hardly seems conducive to human thriving. The percentage of Americans who say they don’t have a single close friend has quadrupled since 1990, according to the Survey Center on American Life.

Interesting point. I wonder what the ability to "make our own tribe" has done to us.

My primary gripe, is the lack of a footer (or even header/menu) bar where I can place my addon icons.

Slowly over time my bar is growing to 80% icons, where I can barely see the url now.

While I dont use the icons all the time, I still want fast access to click them when needed. The overflow isn't the best option for me.
That will still black the display when I'm watching youtube.
A lot of people in this thread seem to suffer with bugs on Linux. In my experience, bugs with systems like WiFi and Bluetooth have been related to the specific hardware I’m using. For my current laptop, I made sure it could run arch with no problems before buying, and I’ve had no issues with WiFi or Bluetooth.

That being said, battery life sucks and thunderbolt 3 docks work unreliably.
Yeah the dollar amount is pretty much meaningless, it’s like the cost of employing 4 cops in a city that has 850. But the failure to disclose is a pretty big problem.

Reportable as in the city answering the public records request or reportable as in this news article? The former the amount shouldn't really matter, that's what public records are after all, the latter seems more subjective but I think the article is popular because of the denial of the records request and being found out not necessarily the amount being crazy high.
the netsec/infosec industry term now is "whaling" or "spearphishing" where a specifically crafted fake email from a vendor to a payor is send to redirect the wire transfer to a another account, typically an ACH money mule or ignorant/clueles patsy that then forwards the bulk of the funds onwards to a location where it cannot be retrieved.
That doesn't stop anything. There is nothing stopping me from writing up a spec that says "Put an annotation like this in your gemini file and with tools supporting this spec addition, you will see an image embedded". For non compliant browsers you will just see plain text and for new extended browsers you will see an inline image.
It's possible to write an extension for that (relatively easy, actually); the hard part is that there's no way to get the history for each tab.
It's not mild, just milder than Delta. It's a deadly disease that's killing people.
I trust my laptop battery far more than the LiPos I get for my R/C cars, though. Laptop batteries don't seem to go up in flames nearly as often.
Whoah, that's pretty hardcore. Across the length of Africa, through China and Tibet to India, etc. Even things like island hopping across Indonesia, which only occupy a few pixels on the map, are logistical nightmares.
The plan was to use an opportunity presented by extremely week United States president.

It was based on the calculation that Ukraine will not resist and US will back off.

To test the theory, Russia used multiple threats to verify this theory and got expected response each time.

What they miscalculated was the strength of Ukrainian army and their own coordination and logistical capability.

So now we all are in the situation none of us really wants to be.

Why Germany has painted itself into corner? Because they were really really stupid. They closed their nuclear plants and made themselves very dependent from Russian gas. They were arrogant to think that they know Russia better than Baltics do.
Sounds like they want to guarantee this never actually catches on. Pretty sure they will succeed.
There is realistically no version numbers on the modern web. Its a living standard where new features come in whenever. The underlying communications spec is versioned but this has little to do with possible features and only needs to be updated for performance and security.

Is the user supposed to have to use chmod to make the launcher executable on Mac? The docs don't mention anything about it so I'm not sure how non-devs will figure out how to run it.

Are there plans for an M1 version? I checked Gitlab issues and didn't see anything.
