> FWIW, I'd like some kind of representation for Debian users.

I'm very, very confident that that would be a bad idea. I, for one, would retire as a DD if (non-DD) users were given a vote. Listening to user input can of course be really great, but as soon as I have to follow rules made by outsiders, it starts feeling way too much like work and too little like fun. I maintain mostly very unimportant packages, so what I'd do isn't that big of a deal, but I suspect this attitude would be echoed in many other DDs.

> Many DDs (most?) also work on other Linuxen, and are not particularly committed to "The Debian Way".

Really? I doubt that. Apart from some overlap with Ubuntu (which is a Debian derivative anyway), I would definitely guess that it's not that many. But this is just as anecdotal as your statement, of course. I rarely see people say "in [insert distro], we usually do it like this" or the like on the mailing lists.

> If users had had some representation in the systemd decision, I think it would have gone the other way. Package developers naturally don't want to have to target two init systems; I suspect a plurality of users are server admins, who would have been likely to vote down systemd.

I refuse to get into a discussion about what "a plurality of users" might think about systemd, but you illustrate my first point really well: once we have to start doing things we ourselves don't want to do, by order of some outsider, it's no longer fun. It's work. I expect to be paid for work. And I expect outsiders to stay out of my fun.
It's not just Azov, there are plenty of other neo-Nazi groups in Ukraine. One of them, for example, is Right Sector.

If you're claiming that these groups do not have an outsized influence on Ukraininan politics/institutions, explain to me how what happened in 2014 is possible.

After months of protests, the government reached an agreement with the 3 most important political parties from the opposition (which were representing something like 40% of the votes). Apparently this agreement didn't sit right for Right Sector activists, which by the way were not even in the parliament, and they straight up threatened an armed coup.

> Activist Volodymyr Parasiuk warned from the stage that if Yanukovych did not resign by 10:00 the next day, an armed coup would be staged.

Do you think that an extra-parliamentary group with explicit neo-Nazi ideologies would be allowed to override the parliament's will, by threatening to kill the president, in any other country?

By the way, this is not to say that all of Ukrainian are Nazis. But 20% of the population can obtain 80% of the impact, especially when they are very well armed and moved by a dangerous ideology.

EDIT: Funnily enough, Right Sector leader Yarosh also recently threatened to "hang Zelensky by a tree" if he "betrays Ukraine". Can you be absolutely sure that these people and these threats are not having an influence on peace negotiation talks?
Funny, I’ve seen this on multiple government agency websites. This is in Sweden.
After the pandemic and lockdowns, good luck trying to convince people to move to much smaller homes in dense, noisy, overpriced, high-crime cities.

Cities now seem obsolete to many, if WFH is the future. And these people now need homes with more space, to set up a more permanent home office.

I guess if you get the design to where it acts like a giant battery that is nearly impossible to tamper with it could work fine. Of course the political will to even try to do that doesn't exist.
Seems like you should stick with it then.
We have plenty of water. What we don't have is plenty of water in all the right places. Moving water is expensive. Water carried by the water cycle away to another region where there is little agriculture is roughly equivalent to disappearing it.

I think this answer does as much to ignore the car owners POV as they are ignoring yours.

Bikes are of course great, and fitness is great. But, here in Colorado, even an E bike is impractical for the vast majority of simple errands simply because of distance. If you respond with "move to a city" you are failing in empathy. The existence of long distance trips with probably bad weather make bikes not the right answer for the vast majority of people outside of major cities in America.

The right answer probably does include public infrastructure at a vast scale, but, our government cannot afford it, and it is not a foregone conclusion that the environmental impact of major construction of infrastructure is better than that of electric cars.

The reason this is not a solved problem is because simple answers like "buy a bike" are not actually answers, they are deflections. As are the answers like, "there is no solution except a pickup truck".

edit: removed sarcastic comment.
Its always important for there to actually be a problem that you solve, not just jumping in and trying to solve a non-existent problem
I don't know that it's folks don't care, as much as they don't understand it.

It's a cell phone number. That's essentially public - if you search your phone number, you will find your name and probably address attached to it in the results, if not even your family and friends.

So, at that point, it doesn't matter. I guess it's the death by a thousand cuts.

So instead of not caring, I think it's more of - If there are companies who publish this information that I literally have never interacted with and have zero control over, what does it matter if I give it to a company to get something I want in return?
"Folks" never did care about their privacy. I've been trying to open people's eyes since forever, and it just doesn't work, because, you know, weeeeeeeeee!
I was hoping this would be more like a car or airplane manual. “Failure to maintain adequate vitamin C levels may cause scurvy. Go to service center if this happens. Maintain blood pressure within limits (see specifications).” Etc.
Interesting, hadn't heard of that one before. With some digging this appears to be the first case where they have ever charged someone for "shadow trading" like this. And it is still making its way through the courts. Definitely will be following that.

The article seems intentionally misleading. It's implying that if the organization disabled the "Web & App Activity" setting will not carry over to the user. That's not what the support page says though:

> If you disabled Web & App Activity in the Admin console, it is turned off for Google Workspace users. Users can turn it on if they want.

So nobody will be tracked on the web who wasn't previously. The setting that will be turned on is just the one controlling search history within Gmail, Docs, Drive etc.

(But it does seem surprising that they didn't just show a option dialogue on the next load of a Workspace app and ask the user to choose.)

Thank you! We know we have a lot of work to do on the UX. I'm the sole developer, and I'm definitely a back-end guy.

We're working on improvements based on suggestions and feedback. The feedback so far is that the UX works better on mobile, because people are more used to messaging apps on their phones. But we know we can do much better, and plan to just keep iterating on it.

Hey, with the IP query too, just wondering what you got for "what is my IP?" please? That should work actually.

So, interestingly, the reason why is that we use public search query data for testing and training. And while the #1 search on google is "facebook", the #1 question asked on google is "What's my IP?"

So even though it isn't really a search per se, we wanted to make sure it worked.

Would be really grateful to know what answer you received so I can fix that up for you :)
The only way that’s going to happen with an empirical world order (the United States) is either by full-fledged political revolution or war with a competing power.

The American state prioritizes corporate interests by design. This is how industrial capitalism works and always has worked. And the EU is a dependent of the US, not an alternative to it.

The Western neoliberal consensus of the past half-century has caused people to forget how power works, and nowhere is that more clear than in these utopian calls for regulation on Hacker News.

You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Capitalism or a society. Pick one.
Why not use the VSCode vim extension best of both worlds :)
Serial ports are still ubiquitous in embedded electronics. Crack open any non-trivial device and you will probably find a serial port, sometimes along with JTAG or SWD, on an unpopulated connector or on test pads, spitting out debug logs.

And it makes sense from an engineering standpoint. Equipment for interfacing to a serial port, even in 2022, is widely available (you can get a basic TTL-level dongle for the price of a coffee) and pretty much every microcontroller/SoC has at least one hardware UART. If you want to see what your code prints to stdout while it's running on real hardware you could either implement a fancy redirection layer that sends logs over whatever interface your device has (and hope there are no bugs in it) or just use the built-in UART, wire it up to an off-the-shelf dongle and call it a day.
The US emits 52 tonnes/year into the air, apparently. The article claims _hundreds_ of tonnes for one constellation. Which does seem concerning if correct.
Nice tool! I've used icdiff for this in the terminal, but I'll see how this performs in my workflow.

Since I use VSCode as my editor, I created this oneliner in my .bash_profile:

# VS Code Diff

diffcb () { "/usr/local/bin/code" -n --diff $@ > /dev/null 2>&1 ; }

With it, I can "diffcb filename1.json filename2.json" to get a visual editor with contextual awareness based on installed lint modules.
_Calling_ a person from their own (faked) phone number was a tried-and-true technique for getting someone's voice messages back in the day. It used to be that voicemail PINs were optional, and if you called your own phone number, you'd get access to the voicemail playback menu.

It's trivially easy to fake a caller ID, whether for voicemail or SMS.
I've been really shafted by this, I signed up for Minecraft donkey's years ago and don't have access to the email address I used any more so I can't link it to my Microsoft account which I got very grudgingly in the first place.

What's likely to happen is we develop some sort of UCC-esque base contract that normalizes all the fine print boilerplate so that future contracts can just reference it in a manner to the tune of "these terms of service are like literally every other terms of service you agree to but with the following exceptions/specifications".

I hadn't heard of Kagi. I haven't found meta search engines like Duckduckgo to give me as good results as Google (or as Startpage, which just uses Google). Is Kagi better in that regard? Looks like it requires an invite though, and will eventually be paid.
Part of a solution could be to require fine print and it's revisions to be posted online so it's easily accessible and up-to-date.

Once fine-print is published we could have a review sites (similar to fact checking sites) that could extract the essence from the fine print and point out major points, issues, etc.

Another, solution that would dis-incentivize 'kitchen-sink' contracts would be ability to invalidate whole contract if one of the clauses is found invalid.
My boss at my previous company created one of these with the intention of being “helpful”. It basically stated you should address me in this manner, use this form of communication etc. I asked him if he would be ok with me also creating a similar user manual telling him how I should be communicated with. He said it would be ok, as long as it did not contradict his user manual.

IMO, these seem to me to be a friendly way of dictating process to others.
What is your argument exactly? That as long as coal power plants emit airborne mercury, then anyone else can emit mercury as well as long as they emit less? This is just a form of whataboutism. We don't have ready, scalable alternatives to coal power at the moment, or don't have the will / money to bring alternatives into service. We do have alternatives to mercury-based space fuels.
No idea why, but just looking at the title, I felt a sudden distressing omen of a dystopian future, where these are mandated and must be followed.

Yeah this user manual goes a bit too deep. It could easily be 1/3 the size and focus on what you said.

> we are so small and irrelevant

I see it the other way around - we are the only thing that is relevant, and the rest of the universe isn’t. Yes, it is big (to put it mildly) and hostile, and some people feel that thinking about it is somehow “liberating,” which, in fact, is merely a fleeting illusion, because the excitement quickly passes as soon as you go back to your daily minutia and have to continue to put up with all the bullshit and what not that’s happening around you. (The thought of the impending death may be just as “liberating” except that it’s not and never has been. You simply go through you daily routine until, say, you get sick and die. That’s it.)
matklad's writings are such a gem!

I think this is a great investigation into a problem that's somewhat self-inflicted by rust, kind of like how so many of those GoF "design patterns" were simply a response to the lack of expressivity of Java.

For example, I think this problem doesn't even really make sense in Zig, where types are simply runtime values, and you have the full language available to you in a "compile time" pass. That approach is not without issues of its own (e.g. the article's point about IDE insight into the code, but writ even larger), but it's neat to see a different exploration in the design space, and how certain choices can make some issues just melt away.

Disclaimer: I'm both a rust and zig newb, and while I think I know roughly how I'd do this on the Zig side, I might be missing something.
It mentions communications _networks_. If you have 10,000 satellites with 10kg propellant each, there's your hundred tonnes of propellant.

Get an editor.
Type-2 diabetes is characterized more by insulin resistance than by an imbalance of glucose. And glucose isn't really something you "balance" in relation to another substance anyway. In order to be metabolically healthy you have to keep glucose levels in the appropriate range, and that will generally prevent the onset of insulin resistance.
Apart from it being an absolutely terrible programming language
I don't think it's "technical minutiae"; I was charged with an offence that I didn't commit. My advocate just took the trouble to read the Act that I was charged under. Given that the court knew I hadn't committed the offence I was charged with, it would certainly have been a miscarriage of justice to go on and convict me anyway, and I could have got it overturned on appeal.
Unfortunately INTO has been deprecated by AMD 20 years ago, with the passing to 64-bit.

No Intel/AMD CPU supports INTO in 64-bit mode.

It is wise to compile any C/C++ program with options like:

"-fsanitize=undefined -fsanitize-undefined-trap-on-error"

(as for gcc) or whatever they are called by the used compiler.

In that case, the compiler will add instructions with the same effect as INTO, but with more overhead than it was needed in 32-bit Intel/AMD CPUs.

USA shares their intelligence with significant delay. Moreover, language barrier (Russian to English, English to Ukrainian) doesn't help. An Ukrainian woman can report more and faster directly to Ukrainian army.

Hurray for open dialog!!!
Sounds neat and I might try for the novelty. I am only skeptical of the regular user's need for and usability of rolling release OSs: This is not a volunteer project and not officially supported by Canonical, which means something is more likely to break (e.g., when Canonical changes their devel setup).

A rolling release system has to be really robust, and I get that that is the main difficulty faced by any continuous release system. But especially OSs should take great care in validating for breaking changes. No-one wants half their workday gone because their OS broke on a daily upgrade.

I bet Canonical is keeping a close eye on this project because rolling releases are probably on Ubuntu's product feature wishlist somewhere!

This is rich coming from who linked to a video claiming putting soil under shade is what is need for conservation. No mention of something actually useful like no-till agriculture. But then again, actual solutions don't lend themselves into the awareness slacktivism that this scheme is all about.

Outlandish nonsensical ideas are entirely par for course when it comes to Jaggi Vasudev. After all, this is the galaxy brain that gave us past hits like:

> We are ministers, heads of states, actors, sports personalities, news channels, youtubers, podcasters, etc.

You left out the largest demographic: Clueless yuppies regurgitating fashionable nonsense. And it's rather telling that you didn't include farmers. Because again, this is about visibility and publicity. Not about actually doing something useful.

Right, because something as trifling actionable policy can wait. PR though must go on.

> And you don't need need just any parser, you need very robust ones that can deal with malformed files well.

I very much agree. I feel there has been a trend recently where people (re)discovered how cool and useful ASTs are and now expect everything be using them. I suspect old-school computer scientists might be secretly laughing at this while programming with some Lisp-like languages they invented for themselves.

Jokes aside, I do wonder how modern IDEs manage to parse broken source code into usable ASTs --- is this trivial (CS theory-wise) or are there a lot of engineering secret sauce involved to make it work?
