This is water on their mill. Use solid, corporate backed dotnet, not random soyware.
Next you know FOSS is dead in the water.

If one random supporter of the current thing can cause such a mayhem, imagine what can happen to any of the projects in 2-3 years: you run update and find your sever wiped out because capitalism is bad or indigenous people of Tuvalu lost a fishing boat or whatever.

On the longer run this is the end of community projects in mission critical applications.

You are one brain damaging soy latte away from total distaster.
In the US we are nowhere near land being a concern. That’s a cop-out.

Just a few years ago we had Trump banning certain media outlets he disagreed with from the White House. Or the UK government attacking hard disks at the Guardian with an angle grinder. You could say that neither of these governments are “democratic”, but then it becomes somewhat of a no-true Scotsman argument. We have to accept that control of the media happens in democracies. It’s not as bad as in Russia, but it is an overt goal of many democratic governments, and many media outlets go along with it in the name of access.
If they are NGO located in the US, nothing I assume prevents them from disclosing who they are. I mean, surely, do not disclose any details related to Belarus or Russia, but details like NGO name, if they are registered as non-profit - copy of the public info from the registration, contact person, etc. - could be provided? I mean, far it would be from my thought to distrust an anonymous message posted on anonymous board without any details whatsoever, but some people say "trust but verify"...

The house I bought was listed for two weeks. They had one day of showings. The following day they stopped accepting offers. Maybe it's different in the Bay, but here in Raleigh houses are available to tour for essentially eight hours.
Watch a lot of movies.
The actuator is a genius flexure design that is both mechanically simple and accurate. Breaking Taps 3d-prints a working replica and describes the design. I highly recommend: https://youtu.be/5MxH1sfJLBQ

The actuator breaking wasn't as concerning after seeing the design.
> I can buy drugs and apparently some food deliveries.

It's not completely clear to me that Bitcoin would even work for drugs or ransomware if those people weren't then converting Bitcoin into local currencies. This argument really undervalues the role that exchanges play in this process. I can earn a dollar, spend it on something, and the person I give it to as payment can spend that same dollar somewhere else. It never really needs to be converted. Sure I can convert that to other currencies if I want or if I'm trying to bridge the gap between economies in different countries, but importantly there's a rather large section of the economy that works just with dollars.

That's not really what's happening with Bitcoin even on the drug market. People pay Bitcoin for drugs, that gets mixed up to try and preserve anonymity, and then it gets cashed out into other currencies.

> To the other point, i described the mechanism of adaptation. If the current mechanism of transfer stops working people historically fall back to anything else that works.

It seems odd to simultaneously say that Bitcoin will be adopted because people won't have any other options (not because they like how it works), and also that people needing to use currencies that they don't trust leads to inflation and economic harm. Do you expect drastic inflation to happen if Bitcoin becomes the only viable currency for people to use?
The article is exceedingly poor quality by HN standards, textbook blog spam. But it doesn't matter cuz everyone read the title and jumped straight into the comments.
The agent I was working with showed me two houses on the same block that were much more modern and had sold for less within the previous few months. The Zillow house in question had been on the market for almost four months and was in far worse shape.
From what I've seen just bumping into some of the devs on twitter, many larger software packages (i.e. Chromium) used a hardcoded pagesize. AFAIK, Asahi doesn't actually support mixed pages—just 16k—due to some hardware quirks on the M1 platform, and so running in 4K compat mode wouldn't even help. This is obviously problematic if you're trying to enforce memory permissions on 4k boundaries since you can't simply pierce the huge page like you can in THP since there is no smaller granule to fallback to.
I switched to Chrome on Windows today. Mozilla is a trainwreck. They reportedly get $350M-450$ million per year from Google. Is that not enough to make a fucking browser and stop firing engineers every year?

Mozilla does only their bullshit outreachy and woke bullshit instead of focusing on their only product that matter. I don't really care if their engineers are women, trans, non-binary, black, hispanic, indian etc. All I wanted a top notch browser that's not based on chromium, but that was too much to ask.

I miss the old Mozilla when they made the New York Times ad with their donors names on there.

Mozilla lost another user...I guess is time to increase their CEOs salary!
maybe in Brazil, they definitely know in China
Ask HN: Can someone explain me React Hooks?
I find React hooks complex and hard to gasp. They feel too smart and over-engineered. When I write JavaScript I tend to think of simple functions with normal programming constructs. I'd rather use basic variables (on instances, localStorage, URL, etc..) rather than a weird beast like `useState(0)`. What is going on here? Am I stupid or something?
So, like, give unique IDs to things and then move them around?
I drive for groceries and such, but plan ahead to minimize trips. Less gas money and less time wasted on the road. Some places are better than others, but Amazon in particular likes to send packages to me via post office, so there's not really any extra fuel spent getting the packages to me versus some other delivery method.

As for high density living, there's simply no substituting actually not being around other people. Noise, trash, wildlife- it's a fundamentally different experience to be able to go out in the wilderness compared to the domesticated parks that constitute green spaces in large cities.

On top of that, I don't share walls with other people- no obnoxious noises or smells, listening to neighbors fight or their dogs bark incessantly. If I had stairwells, they wouldn't constantly smell of piss and ramen like that one apartment I lived in.

I've upgraded or otherwise modified the cabin I live in to be as off grid as possible- internet and electric hook ups are required, but if push came to shove and our electricity got cut I could survive indefinitely out here, even in the heart of winter. Heck, last year the power cut for 6 hours due to a brutal storm with -40 wind chills and I only noticed because we also lost our internet connection.
If there was a way to train them, ship them and make them stay you would be welcome to ours.
My phone randomly searches on bing from time to time and it blows my mind how shitty the search is. Fault Google, but it either knows what my brain wants, or my brain expects what Google provides.
It's totally nonsensical and does not map to Putin's writings on the essential unity of Ukraine and Russia or myriad other geographic, demographic, and resource-based practicalities of why Putin wants this war.

Please see my earlier comments for why this but-NATO! argument is the opium toked by demagogues and their acolytes.
Raleigh NC! Nice weather, friendly people, adorable housing, good food. The only complaint I have is that you need to drive literally everywhere.
The obvious flaw is that 3000+ lb vehicles are mixing freely with humans who weigh more than 10 times less.

Due to physics, there are guaranteed to be numerous deaths and injuries.

Cities should be redesigned for generally much smaller single passenger autonomous vehicles and complete physical separation between pedestrians and vehicles.

Not saying it's easy, but it is feasible in the long term if people are eventually able to see this obvious structural problem.
yes, but it's limited in terms of number of searches you can do and also they'll run ads on free version.
Maybe some people are better at it than others, but my core point is that most people are worse at it than they think they are. And for those who have the most limited work experience...well, they don't really have much of a comparison, do they? I'm not terribly surprised that they might claim they're uniquely qualified to do it...

In other words, remote work is a lot like multi-tasking. People swear that they're uniquely good at that, too, and insist that it's only the old farts who can't get with the new trends.
Nothing because they benefit in their own cost savings ways not to mention savings vary between employees.
It's even worse than that. Right before that, the article claims that the Chinese language is "almost the same as the first inscriptions from nearly 3,200 years ago".
Except your point ignores the reality of the situation.

I totally get it. Two of my closest friends wouldn't trade city living for anywhere else, and a third has been gradually moving further and further out, realizing that he likes it more and more each time he moves. To each their own!
Forgive me, but I think you misread my grandparent comment's intended meaning. The assertion was that TCP/IP was standardized in 1983, and this is, in fact, technically correct. The unwritten subtext was that TCP/IP was standardized as the protocol in use on ARPANET, with the cutover from NCP to be concluded on 1 January 1983.

"It is really very important for everyone to notice the deadline for completing the cutover to IP/TCP and the elimination of NCP from use in the ARPANET." https://groups.google.com/g/fa.tcp-ip/c/HDoq18adT2Y/m/HwoFGx...
Again, you'd have $0 in research and development and software and test rig costs of #2.

> The testing costs are a very high fixed cost

I'm sure they are. But you won't have to design the tests and build the test rigs and validate the test procedures a second time. Secondly, you'll inevitably learn from the first test runs to need less iteration.

For example, the full-size vacuum chamber. You would already have it on hand, and not need to build another one. Having already just run #1 through it, you'd know just what to do to get #2 through.

For example, the first time I took the heads off my Mustang it took 4 hours. The second time 2 hours. The third time 20 minutes. The procedure was already all laid out for me in the shop manual. But knowing just what to do cut the time enormously.
If enough of a star's light can be blocked by polarized filters, data transmission can occur when they are switched on and off in a pattern. Maybe with the JWST we'll be able to download many different civilizations' Wikipedias if they're blinking their suns at us.
Now imagine the same scenario but one of the servers is eight feet to the left.

Does it matter that a different server picked up the message first?

Now what if the server just thinks it's eight feet to the left because the clock is out by several nanoseconds?

Can't you just ignore that, and still use the server that got the lowest timestamp?

What's the practical difference?

When the servers can communicate in x amount of time, the question was specifically about clock drift "much smaller than" x.
If a site allows crawling by at least one public-Internet spider, is there any legal protection it has against other crawlers who choose to ignore robots.txt and crawl anyway? Because I feel like that's exactly what Google would do here, as long as it wasn't literally illegal for them to do so.
What I understand is that Hardware wallets cannot be "frozen", but they are much harder to maintain than an online account you can log into with a single click, so people prefer that.
unreadable on mobile, it has like 2-3 words per line with half of the screen empty
How is it hard? Canadian sanctions only work in Canada.

Say I'm an American, for example. I'd receive "sanctioned" bitcoins from a Canadian and then send them non-sanctioned bitcoins back to a different wallet address. There is no "exchange" being used in this process. I could then happily spend or transfer said coins in the 99% of the world that isn't Canada.
This makes no sense. Google makes more money when users click on some crappy landing page filled with display ads?
I loved the flowers but it didn't sink in quite how many flowers there were until the petals started to fall, and made 'snow drifts' around objects and in gutters.
> via post office, so there's not really any extra fuel spent getting the packages to me versus some other delivery method.

Didn't say a post office was within walking distance so I presume you drive for that? That's extra fuel.

Again - you really should look at the Not Just Bikes channel. You're really not paying attention to what I'm saying.
Does this group get replaced?
Django as a cgi does sound painful, but that's because it's huge. Most cgi scripts I've written are quite simple. And they rarely have to serve 100s of requests per second. And of course it's possible to optimize the startup time, e.g. by dumping an already-initialized version of the script (even django). Emacs has done that forever. It wouldn't surprise me if there is some way to do it in Python.

I remember reading somewhere that amazon.com was originally implemented as CGI's written in C. And, Perl cgi scripts served the whole web for many years, on servers much slower than what we have now.
You are getting close to the complexity of FLOSS, but there is slightly more to it, some further thoughts below.

> freedoms afforded by FLOSS licenses necessitate the availability of the source code

This isn't really true, security researchers, reverse engineers and piracy experts often do the equivalent of the FSF four freedoms without having the source code. Of course not having the source code makes it harder for people without those skills and without the often costly proprietary tools that enable this work.

It is possible as a technically skilled person to write a binary in machine code, without any assembly or "source code" or other primary format. When an FLOSS license is applied to that binary, it should be considered Free Software. An example of this is the hex0 binary of the stage0 project, which is the first piece of code run by the Bootstrappable Builds project, which aims to build an entire Linux distro starting with only the ~512bytes of machine code in hex0 plus all the necessary source code.

> Which makes me wonder if programs written to be deliberately obfuscated are technically not allowed to be considered free-libre or open source software?

Debian definitely rejects such software, I assume the FSF/OSI would too, although they mostly concern themselves with licenses rather than actual software projects. In the past at least 3 times in different FSF/GNU projects, the FSF/GNU project has caused downstream GPL violations due to releases that were missing source code. Even minified JS without the original JS is not considered DFSG-free by Debian, even though it is extremely common these days. Debian applies this rule to all digital files, no matter whether they are programs or fonts or images or videos or other things. Some articles related to this topic:

> programs written to compete in IOCCC

The main thing about source code is that downstream users be afforded equality of access to a work as the original author of a work. So if you can write an obfuscated program and realistically modify it yourself without hiding the real source code from users, then that is considered fine from the source code point of view. Of course it is a terrible way to write a program and should get modified to de-obfuscate everything, so more people can understand the code.
> A business is going to get judged on its physical space regardless of ownership or fairness

The portion you quoted from my post doesn't necessarily represent my actual opinion, I was just pointing out his statement doesn't always hold true.

But I don't disagree with you, you can definitely judge a business for it's physical aspects, however I don't think your friends go up to the bartender demanding they fix the sketchy stairs, and then get upset to the point your "blood boils" when they don't personally apologize to you for them. There's a difference between judging and complaining with your friends privately, and hassling someone that happens to work there over stuff they have no control over.
The point about junior employees is reasonable. In such cases, we may have to find ways to really mentor them, not just to evaluate their performance, so listening and understanding their struggles would be of utmost importance. During a 6-month period when we had to adopt a full WFH mode, I've had to conduct a dozen sessions like that, and had some promising results so far, so progress while small are made. In time, even though they may not be able to improve on all their shortcomings, they start to realize when they need to reach out to other experienced members of the team or when to raise their concerns. Anyway, the point of working remotely is not to eliminate communication but to filter out the necessary from the distracting ones. That being said, a team consisting of mostly freshers will surely fall apart in either a WFH or an office setup.
At least for now, I think the performance gap between AS and nearly everything else available could be significant enough to move users (and developer hours) to Apple hardware where they might never have considered it before. There's a big difference between "nice build quality that takes some extra work to support" and "workflow-changing performance that takes some extra work to support"
> clear QoL tradeoffs of condensed living.

and that's why single family homes should be more expensive, because it is better. People continue to bid it up, because they still believe that the price is worth and hasn't reached a ceiling yet.

In asian hubs like hong kong or shanghai, they've reached a certain ceiling on land, and so building up is now what most people could buy and so they do that. The cities in countries like canada, australia and the west coast of the US, it hasn't reached that point due to large available land mass, and people prefer commute (or WFH now!) over living densely.

Of course, regulation plays a part - i think there's unnecessarily large amount of red tape in making taller denser buildings, as well as a lobby of existing owners who don't want it near themselves.
> Saying "that's not open source" is just like a chocolate snob telling their friend that their Hershey's bar is "totally not real chocolate"

I don't think this is a great comparison. Open source has a particular, commonly understood meaning, just like chocolate does. When I say "this is not an open source license", I am not saying that it doesn't meet some kind of quality standard, or that I just don't like it. I am saying that it is a deceptive label that contradicts the common understanding of the term.

If an author would like to relicense their open source project to exclude certain groups of users, why must they insist on using the open source label? They ought to be proud that they reject open source norms. Why would they want to associate themselves with projects allow dictatorships to use them?

I have written software with a license that allows for noncommercial use only. I label it as freeware (which clearly communicates "you need to check the license"). I have no desire to label it as open source, because I do not wish to mislead people who have a coherent and widely accepted mental model of what that entails. I am generally suspicious of the motivations of people who would want to muddy the waters with unclear labeling.

There is a perfectly honest way to address this, as esr did: invent a different term. If you can come up with a short, snappy term for "source-available software that allows for open-source-like use for certain classes of people", then use that, and don't lie to your users.
> This isnt about vocalizing your opinion and communicating facts but forcing the behavior of other people without an actual harm at stake

No force was applied to ivermectin proponents. I don't know what you think I'm proposing. We merely enforced the sensible existing rules that drugs should be prescribed only when there is evidence they work.

The ivermectin proponents are generally anti vaccine. People took ivermectin as a substitute for the vaccine. In that way ivermectin hurt public health.

Your placebo argument is also an argument against the entire drug testing/approval process. It's just the same tired libertarianism argument with a rationalist paint job

> This leaves me with the realization, that you are not interested in cooperation

I have no idea what you're going on about.
Managers tend to be more extroverted and thus also more lonely at home. Several even admitted this to me. And so they want to make everyone come back to the office so they can have their social needs met. But the way they phrase it is, it’s easier to communicate and have meetings
> It cannot be so difficult for them to keep things like literal search, can it?

Greater scale = greater cost of keeping data hot in their search data-warehouses (esp. in light of contention over memory/caches.) Keeping around both a source-text string and its tsvector representation (or whatever Google's version of that is) is a "thing that doesn't scale" that they could provide at 1B queries/day, but probably not at 10B queries/day.

> the algorithm that has encouraged stupid amounts of articles of a certain length. Recipe for baked potatoes is now 2000 words long.

That's not the algorithm's fault per se; that's instead the fact that recipes can't be copyrighted, and so these sites can freely steal + repost one-another's recipes, and so you'll find the same recipe word-for-word on many sites, thus making an exact match in the recipe part not contribute highly to ranking any particular site. The 2000-word blog post, on the other hand, is actual Intellectual Property unique to the site posting it. So it only appears in the one place; and so when your query matches it, it ranks quite highly indeed.
I doubt property values would really change unless we started talking about getting Chinese money out of London, because it's just a way bigger thing from all that I've seen.
God willing. I’m sick of paying CoinTracker near $200 a year for my hundreds of bad trades resulting in $50 in profits.
> Who are these "war critics" you speak of? I presume you're talking about the people who oppose russia's invasion

No, the article here is about “war critics” who oppose the opposition to the invasion.

That’s why I said it is a weird use of language.
> A lot of people living in rural areas are poor and angry

This is a fair description of a lot of dense urban living as well. There are a lot of boring rural places- pretty much anywhere that is heavily dominated by farmlands. That doesn't mean that there aren't tons of beautiful, rural places as well. Go to any major city, and you'll find the same- bad neighborhoods and good. The (obvious) difference is that they're a lot closer together.
