I agree with it being warm, in the sense that because people are honest, you know that a compliment is not just someone going through some ritual, but their actual pinon.

A place with room for constructive (or not) criticism, one that is not oppressed by outrage culture and people vigilant to construe everything you say as a personal insult that must be condemned, a place where you can be sure to be told directly when and why you're wrong, that is indeed a warm place, one where you don't doubt that people mean what they say.
Okay but snap sucks. I don't want it. I never asked for it.

This is why my daily driver isn't Ubuntu (or Debain, because I also hate apt - it also sucks).
The thing is, none of the mainstream package formats solve the underlying problem, they just push it to a different layer.

I know what I’m saying can be regarded as “+1 different standards”, but Nix is the only truly novel approach to package management that can reliably install a huge-ass behemoth package group like Gnome, install Plasma next to it and remove both without a single garbage file laying around afterwards.

I think we really should embrace this uniquely good solution.
I’ve been favoring it for a while due to the clear support responsibility as a heavy AWS user, and avoiding Oracle licensing shenanigans around OpenJDK (one of their salescritters tried the “we notice you use OpenJDK a lot…” pushes insinuating that licenses might be required).

That's what you get when you put a mountain biker on a road bike.

"One thing became very clear, and every mountain biker will certainly be able to confirm this: when riding uphill on a racing bike, there is always the conflict between riding standing up, which puts more pressure on the pedals, but you have to keep lifting your weight onto the pedal, and riding sitting down"

This is simply not what riding uphill on a roadbike is, unless you are not used to that position at all. The switch between seated and standing is not done to push harder, it's done to get a bit of variation in position and muscle use. It's not a conflict, it's an opportunity.

Except for those particularly steep slopes where you need to move your center of mass forward to not literally tip over, where it's not an opportunity but the only one. That threshold is sits in the vicinity of 20% incline, depending on size and seating position. This is with a wheelbase about twice as long as the kwiggle, and with a considerably lower center of mass. The author even seems to emit that, in a way, with the suggested tweak "So if you ride the Kwiggle in the mountains, always place the saddle a bit more forward". Good luck descending afterwards if it happens to be a route where you might actually need to brake.

The difference in the climb the author was so enthusiastically describing is simply that he went up more than 10% slower on the kwiggle than on the roadbike (92 minutes instead of 81). If you have ever measured endurance efforts in that game, for example on an ergometer, you will know what a huge difference 10% means.

I mean, nice publicity stunt and it surely was a lot of fun given the weather, but if you want to do that more, get proper equipment.
>> Not every open-source project accepts contributions. This is something that you just interpret into "open source", but was never part of it.

>I do interpret it into it, as do many others. But not everyone. Stallman and the people at GNU have fought against the term "open source" for a long time, precisely because people have different ideas of it: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point....

Literally nobody interprets open source to mean you have to accept every (or any) random patch from anyone on the internet.

> Note that others have other interpretations of 'open source' that are even more strict (you may only view the source code, for example, or you may modify but not redistribute the code)!

wtf no... some people (microsoft) tried to do something like that branded as "shared source",but nobody considers that open source.

> Ultimately open source doesn't have one clear definition.

Really because the osi definition seems pretty clear to me.

Regardless, even if something is ambigious it doesn't mean you can make it mean anything you want. If i said, in my books open source is a breed of dog, people would say i am being stupid, because i am.
Unfortunately, I don't think this is an option on aarch64 Linux.

Ennio Morricone is amazing, I haven't seen any of his movies but I want to only in order to see what they're the soundtrack to. Also Rocky series, I never saw it but the music (well also Chuck Mangione) was so so good like how could the movie be worse than the soundtrack.
If you look up a single blob by id, you're going to have a bad time.

My experience comes from using CH as an secondary store for relational data where it could be filtered, sorted and aggregated much faster. The downside was that pulling out all the columns resulted in poor performance - like I said, it was just as slow as a relational store when doing a SELECT *.
> If the source code (or at least a significant portion of it) is available under a OSI approved license then it’s Open Source.

It's the part in brackets I disagree with... If a significant portion of a piece of software is available under an OSI approved license, then a significant portion of it is open source.

It's still wrong to call the product open source, because "the product" includes integral parts that are not open source.
The main outer shell looks like it's recyclable plastic, but then inside that it (from 1:18 onwards) looks like heavy-duty Styrofoam / "Extruded polystyrene foam" which I know my local council won't take.

Styrofoam is terrible stuff - bulky but not heavy (it's 98% air), not recyclable, and fragile enough that it's almost guaranteed to break down into fragments and small beads which are light enough to be dispersed by a breeze. Microplastics to go.

Just my comment to "but I suspect the overall ride experience to be a bit bouncy and flexy".

Kwiggle is a new movement for a flexy human being. Humans have been accustomed to putting their natural flexibility into a rigid posture on a bicycle for 200 years.

If you are thinking the bicycle from the anatomically view, you should invent a bicycle, that could be ridden upright with your flexible natural movement similar to the walking.

This was the first idea of the Kwiggle. And this is an opportunity to get back to your natural flexibility. After a little get used to, Kwiggle will adapt to your movement and not the other way round.

The same distinction still holds in programming - it's just that the process of using the plan to generate the final product has been automated, by that handy class of tools we call "compilers".
I salt steaks for at least 4-5 hours before I grill them, then add a bit of salt when serving. I don't salt burgers before grilling.

Like I say, certain people prefer different taste, and that's what make cooking an art rather than a science. But I'm surprised that you can't taste the different.
This. HN is all about keeping a high signal-to-noise ratio. Noisy "reddit-like" or "twitter-like" comments are typically downvoted, and this seems to help reduce flamewars & negative emotional responses. This leads to a much more pleasant experience for HN readers.
I am not sure how most people think about it, but I prefer inferfaces like HN's and Dan Luu's blog (https://danluu.com/). They are very simple and the most important thing is the content. I just feel I don't get to waste time with things I don't care.
I have a Tesla, and I was stupid enough to upgrade to v11 without reading up first. The UI is so broken that I now literally have hate attacks while driving the car. Oh, and the update somehow broke a window controller unit, which had to be physically replaced.

So: yes. I’d gladly go back to v10 if I could. I actually offered money to do so, but - unsurprisingly - I got refused.

I can give you plenty of more feasible analogies;

Do I make my own bread? Sure, sometimes I do. Baking bread isn't that hard. But do I do it every day? No. Why? Because it takes time to do, my kitchen counter is usually a mess afterwards, and the result usually doesn't taste anywhere near as good as the 20+ bread varieties I can buy at the corner store. I sometimes do it for fun, but I wouldn't do it every day.

Let's go to macro scale: What's the better solution: 1000000 people each baking their own bread (1 loaf a day), or a giant company baking all the bread? A million stoves are most certainly less energy efficient than the professional industrial ones at the company. Having to divide the resources into many small packages and distributing them to each individual households is less efficient. The quality of the bread will vary widely. And lets say baking takes 0.5 hours, that's 57 person years wasted per day to do something the bread factory can probably do with a few dozen employees.

I am confused as to whether it happened in spring or winter.
There is definitely such a job. In the mid-90s between university semesters I did temporary work in SW London. One company I worked at for a few weeks was called Adpax - they specialised in making packaging, particularly for munitions. I just had to put washers in small plastic bags, or detonators into boxes. In the larger building next door I saw them making enormous boxes to fit all kinds of stuff - including what looked like missile parts. I did a brief stint in that building, can't quite remember what exactly I did except wear a mask and wield a glue gun. Felt quite heady at the end of the shifts.

This is the only trace I can find online of them: https://web.archive.org/web/20041127024643/www.adpax.co.uk/m... (the domain still serves a homepage, but the site has fallen into severe disrepair)
Cheers for link! but there is almost zero info about the cracked program or malware, its not really a data point at all imo.

The article specifically addresses this, right? They log every interaction from support engineers and are going to report to the affected customers what actions were performed.

As others have mentioned, the slack access is potentially more concerning.
Probably they were monitoring the behaviour of certain accounts to find all systems that intruders had compromised.

I tried using Qubes as a daily driver for a couple of weeks, and wrote up my experiences:

https://rillabs.org/posts/installing-qubes-os

Overall an impressive and surprisingly well functioning software, given what it does.

Unfortunately - which I didn't write in the post yet, should do - is that I felt I had to switch back to a normal distro again because of a combination of a couple of annoyances:

- The need to manually redirect the USB-keyboard to each qube

- The fact that I couldn't get Debian-based Qubes to respect the font size settings

- The overall relative slowness of the system, causing some already slow software to be even slower

- The last straw: Inability to run Virtualbox VMs in Qubes (which I use to create some course content etc).

>It's easy to forget how in other forums you must become hardened against people often telling you to get hurt or otherwise perish

When slurs, personal attacks and incivility are fair game you can't attack inconvenient opinions by complaining that they are not presented in a high enough brow manner.

This tilts the balance of power in favor of whatever the local majority opinion is (as if voting wasn't a strong enough mechanism for doing that) because every subjective rule you can possibly use to exclude commentary will always get wielded harder against the minority opinion.
While I suspect this is a slight exaggeration, a 1 TB iPhone 13 Pro Max w/ 2 years of AppleCare+ (with Theft and Loss), as well as tax (for me in the US, at least) runs $1,980.08. It's $1,599 without the add-ons.
Yes, I think maybe some people underestimate how important natural sunlight is for physical and mental health.
Indeed. Yesterday I watched a compilation of drone footage from the Armenia v Azerbaijan war. The capabilites of drones have rendered armoured vehicles useless, and trenches no longer offer any protection to soldiers. It was pretty horrific to watch.
The article said that after this incident the manufacturers modified the search to match at least 4 letters, not just 2. And matching the 2 required a special override mode to begin with, but apparently that was a common thing to do.

I don't know how these systems are designed and tested, and what regulatory hurdles they have to pass, but it sounds like there is a huge disconnect between how the manufacturer expects them to be used and how they are actually used, with frequent overrides, day to day. It must be a tough industry to work in, either in the patient facing side or the medical devices and software side. I'd hate to be the person who coded all the warnings in that software. "What do you mean they bypassed all 7 warnings? Even the one that said this was a paralyzing agent?!"

I wonder if some of this wasn't a procedural failure too. Like why doesn't a potentially life ending drug require at least two people to vouch? Even in retail a manager has to come and turn a key for some trivial refund, or in our field a reviewer has to approve changes first.

Is it that the hospital cheaped out on staffing so they didn't want two nurses double-checking each other? Was this use case never accounted for in software development? Are all drugs potentially life ending so there's no way for the software to reliably reduce false positives? So many questions...

What you're saying is just plain wrong.

You're not a super old person stuck in a chair that needs to see things from the inside. Go outside.

If you are young, you should view the place you are living as your basecamp to sleep so you can go out and explore your world - not look at it through a window.

Plus basement dwellings tend to be cheaper in which you can use the extra money you save for exploring.
> Of course, the question is, where is that money coming from and whether anyone is bankrolling them, and if so, what their motives are.

Wild speculation here, but if they are located in a country that is recently a lot less friendly with the west, maybe they decided that being overt isn't a real problem given what they are doing is de facto legal where they live. Being a Belarusian or Russian cybercriminal targeting the west is probably less risky now than ever before (and it wasn't especially problematic before.)

I've been using Azul's JDK. They have been making openjdk builds for a while now, seem pretty reliable https://www.azul.com/downloads/?package=jdk
Maybe a bit of a tangent but does anyone have a good recommendation for monitoring a networks upness? My home internet suffers quite a bit at random times, sometimes it's very local (noise between repeaters on my telephone line) and sometimes it's 2 or 3 hops away. I've taken to running mtr during problem times so I can have a beat on the flakiness as that informs me how much it will affect work/gaming/browsing, but it's not so great of a tool to run constantly and look back at historical data. I'd really rather have something that can log, doesn't even have to graph it.

The problems I encounter go anywhere from blips of one way packet loss (I've been able to ping my IP from a server but not ping the same server from my apartment), latency randomly jumping 500ms, or full downtime. mtr is better than ping for this as I like to see whether the issue is happening on my line or further out, that usually informs how much noise I should make or how much time I have to kill.

What percentage of code is needed for you to call something open source?

If not all the source is available they should probably say it’s “partially Open Source” to be better citizens.

Indeed, sounds like you also agree with not calling this open source then?
What does it means for linux/android on old iphones?
I use it on my Librem-15 v3. I can confirm that it's a PITA as far as performance. One "nice" thing is that if a process makes your VM unresponsive, it's just about always contained to that VM. You can kill it and restart it and not interrupt anything else.

The other problem is memory. I have to decide to between Signal Desktop and development sometimes.

But it's my main machine for what I care. I love the peace of mind running random things if the need comes up. For more intensive stuff, media games etc, I have a previous machine running Ubuntu.
> I don't understand how this isn't a hardware bug

From what I understand, if the chip’s documentation would say “all interrupt handlers must start with a memory barrier”, this would be a software bug.

Isn’t it the case that a hardware bug for which a workaround is documented before shipping is ‘just’ a misfeature? (In this case, supporting user-supplied interrupt handlers would be a bit complicated. When it gets installed, you’d have to check their first instruction after first making its memory page non-writable by user code)

Back to the workaround: they seem confident that this only is a problem when doing “user-mode cache operations (flush / clean / zero)”, and those, apparently, can all be fixed to set that TLS flag. If I were trying to break into this system, I would look at both assumptions.

In particular, can you clear that secret byte directly after the kernel set it, and get the old behavior back? Worse, does “user-mode cache operations” imply those are completely run in user mode (since they can make this fix, presumably using a library provided by Nintendo)? If so, what prevents you from using your own cache flush code that doesn’t set the flag?
Ask HN: How can teams bridge skill gaps?

There are a lot of NYC apartment that also do not have windows at all. Priced at $2k and above.

NYC leaves a severe mental scar on me (not just windows, but everything pretty much), yet I am still here because I need the money.
Damn right.

Every time there’s a video of one of these things being put to use, it’s invariably followed by “fuck, yeah!”, high fives or other form of celebration. But they didn’t just destroy a tank, they also killed the crew, burning it alive. In fact some of the crew may still be alive and smoldering at that very moment... War is war, do what you have to, but celebrating a killing is just wrong.
That depends entirely on where the job is located. $120k is probably only "terrible" in the coastal USA and maybe Switzerland.
Agreed. Or perhaps Google is to blame, for disincentivizing the practice.
I just realized something. Supposing we ever colonize Mars (lol!), helicopters and planes won't work there. That means long-distant transport will be either by ground or by reusable ballistic rocket. I'm sure that's not a surprise to anyone but me, but I think it would be an interesting contribution to e.g. setting an old western on Mars.
