Exactly. Give me relevant links to my term, with no SEO spam. Don't correct my term, especially when I'm searching verbatim (which I almost always want). It'd also be nice to be able to downvote certain results.
The example above is part of a declarative, reproducible, full system build. You include it in your build description file, and then Nix will rebuild the entire system in the exact same way across multiple machines.

That's less of a guarantee with a collection of shell scripts.
> DuckDuckGo and Bing are not true alternatives – they’re just worse versions of Google.

I disagree. I use Bing for about half of my searching because Google simply struggles with things like exact phrase matching in many cases. Where Google falls off, Bing tends to succeed. Though Bing also sometimes lags behind, where Google tends to do better, hence my split usage.
Is it referring to that “people feel like an outcast because they show up as green on their friend’s iMessage screens” nonsense?
Yes, because every time I open twitter, the first posts I see are from people whom I have no connection with, who are celebrating about the current president, and it's not the trendy ones #MacronGate #McKinseyGate #AlstomGate #AlphaGate and so on.
I'm bullish on fusion in general, but there is a lot of hyper-optimistic BS about any particular fusion setup, and it gets tiring really fast. I can't say I don't blame the cynics, since they're helping kill our species, but I do sympathize.
Musk is very pro-free-speech-even-speech-that-offends.

Twitter is very ban-anything-that-doesn’t-comport-with-our-woke-worldview-and-call-it-hate-speech-or-disinformation. Also they selectively apply TOS against people they don’t like while regularly ignoring blatant TOS violations from people they like.
The Muslims saved the rest of the world from the Mongol trail of destruction.

Millions did not get raped or genocided by the Muslims, not sure where you're getting that information from. Muslims have had rules of engagements since the early days of Islam, which included even not destroying trees and plants, let alone prohibition of killing and raping.

Forced conversions are also against Islam.

Those sources you're citing seem quite anti-Islamic and biased, and ludicrous. For example, googling the following phrase:

> The Islamic historians and scholars have recorded with great glee and pride the slaughters of Hindus

Results in pro-Hindu, anti-Muslim propaganda websites. Show me which "Islamic historians and scholars" have recorded with glee and pride any slaughters. If those indeed did occur, you'll find the Islamic scholars the first call them out and condone them.

It seems you're just copy pasting false anti-Muslim propaganda.

We know what the British Empire did in India and the surrounding areas, and they want to blame their atrocities on others. Let alone that we know that Europe "proudly" holds the greatest number of deaths and destruction caused by a war by means of WWI and WWII. And now we're seeing the Ukraine-Russia war.

I don't think it's too hot a take, but it is incorrect. Dependabot Alerts (and Updates) are required on all internal services and folks use them (and provide similar feedback).

Dependabot Alerts is working on some of these things, starting with e.g. https://github.blog/changelog/2022-02-08-dependabot-alerts-p...

I know that security alerts in general are working on ways of assigning alerts (or opening issues that reference those alerts)--hopefully this is something that will show up soon.

Long ago I visited a Tibetan Buddhist temple in my town in the USA and they explained to me the significance of the Sand Mandala, [1] which is an intricate image drawn with colored sand on a square board by a group. There was one in progress and it was stunning to behold, clearly so many hours put into it.

Once the Sand Mandala is complete, it's ceremoniously swept into a bin and returned to nature. The idea, as I understand it, is to demonstrate how even actions that are impermanent have meaning, symbolic of our transitory lives on this planet. Or, stated another way, "maybe the real Mandala was the friends we made at the sand table."

Then I pointed at a Sand Mandala that was visibly hanging on the wall and asked what's that. They explained that that Mandala was present during a visitation by the Dalai Lama to their temple so they glued the sand in place and hung it up.

I was like, wait, doesn't that invalidate the premise of the Mandala? To which they just kind of shrugged and smirked and said "not really. That one is special, but it too will be destroyed someday."

Yes, unless a project gets to point of scaling, it is really difficult to notice the design issues.

One doesn't even need to wait that long. Just taking a break and revisiting the old code base makes things go south! This has been my personal experience.
It's a form of entertainment. Surely you have some entertainment that you spend money on and that is not profitable? It can become an unhealthy obsession, but so can many hobbies.

That probably depends on the number of users whose Macs get pwned in this "extra time" they are taking - I guess these users would have preferred a potentially unstable fix to no fix.
It does not help that a great many people calling themselves "journalists" don't know that, either. The term "journalism" has become badly watered down over the last couple of decades.

That's not to let the readership off the hook for their failure to recognize it, especially since it often involves embracing really obvious falsehoods. But at this point, there is a vicious circle, where the "news" producers produce poor quality news because the "news" consumers want it, which encourages them to want more of it.

Something closer to genuine journalism does still exist -- with the standards and failings you outline. But it's becoming increasingly irrelevant.

It’s easy to call for change without actually having to build any of it.

Odds are zero things change about Twitter’s content policy, as it’s about as permissive as you can get while operating in the US.

There’s a lot less sinister intent than one might think at first blush; Twitter wants users to stick around, banning them is a really bad way to do that.
Oh boy, a terminal that I have to pay a monthly fee to use. Can’t wait.

Also important for anyone actually thinking of taking Google on, very few of the features listed are things Google can't easily do, too. Attacking their strengths is crazy. You better have something both crazy good and hard to replicate by someone with more money than god.

Whatever replaces Google will be doing something that Google can't without causing them other problems. The first thing that comes to mind is make them choose traffic vs. advertisers (I don't know, if I had an idea of how to, I would not be writing this), but they're big enough that other wedges could start chipping away at their margins.

Glad to disagree, DuckDuckGo is good enough if not great.
Tesla was found guilty by the court, and other employees have come out with evidence/witnesses of the same experiences and recordings/videos. Of course the state must pursue. The state _should_ have a legal grudge against Tesla -- if it's unsubstantiated, the courts (and Tesla's top-tier legal representation) will absolutely find that.

Also, as a lifelong Texan and a recent Californian, if you don't think Texas will find a way to sink its political might into extracting as much wealth and political favors out of Tesla you are sorely mistaken. If you don't abide by the Texas governments whims, they will shut you down or run you out -- Tesla still isn't allowed to sell Teslas directly in the state, for example, because all car sales must go through a dealership; if you want to buy one, you must go to a different state (even if it was made in the state). Tesla's lobbying this latest legislative session didn't even get close to changing that, the amendment died in committee.

I'd say when you get into a fully kitted 2k video toaster you get into 'workstation' territory for my potentially personal definition of 'workstation'. For me a 'workstation' is a machine built and optimized for a task that primarily runs that task and that task only. It is sometimes the 'core hardware' that is interesting, but often many of the peripherals are more interesting. Things I consider workstations include Avid and other video editing systems, machines built for cad, and yes many of the 'desktop' sgi machines which generally did nothing but run software like softimage all day every day.

The 'workstation' largely died because general off the shelf machines because fast enough to perform those task almost as well. You now see a more open market for the peripherals that help 'specialize' a general purpose computer. Wacom tablets, video capture devices, customized video editing controllers, midi controllers, GPUs, etc
Yeah, but they had to go through hell to make it happen. It took a lot more effort than you might think.

Thanks for your thoughts. I worded my question poorly, I suppose, but you got my meaning.

I keep seeing nix mentioned alongside complaints about it's maturity but that seems par for the course for something new, doesn't it? Until a tool reaches critical mass sharp edges are to be expected.

This is really where it’s at. I’m not even close to retirement age, just about to hit 40, but I really think often of retiring and how I want to spend more time working with the nonprofit I volunteer for.
Developing software that has real users and really matters to people in the field. When I say I want to retire people always think that I want to sit in a sofa all day…no I want to retire from having to work for a living and work on things that make me feel like I’m doing something that matters.

Building useful software for an ngo that works in poor African countries and wouldn’t be able to afford an engineering team is what I want to do, not binge watch Netflix from my sofa.

> this is the behaviour of a free speech absolutist?

Because it’s just a catchy phrase that sounds good on paper.

What’s a “free speech absolutist” position on spam, NDAs, calls to violence, libel, national security, fraud, false advertising, copyright infringement, personal privacy, etc.?

I don’t know of any country, platform or person that follows an “absolutist” philosophy on free speech within any reasonable definition of the word “absolute”.

Everyone is a “free speech exceptionist”, it’s just varying degrees of exceptions.
That information glut, if it does so exist, leads more towards dis-belief imo & skepticism, especially in the main.

Yeah there's a lot of meme-viruses, num shrubs, other ways to go wrong or really wrong. Radicalization happens. Before we didnt used to be connected enough to see this shit, and the asymetric nature of the loud & shitty versus the peaceful/coherent/quiet/skeptical mainstream means the delusional & extremists have outsized visibility.

The disbelief keeps growing. We dont need Adbusters as much because the thin transparency of the world, of being sold garbage mounds of low-grade content is well known, we understand how shallow things are. And disbelief keeps rising.

In contrast to the higher trust, respected mainstream media, the limited availability of information which came before. Which gel'ed the world into place, which created shared beliefs & allowed agendas to be driven. Where-as now the all-defector anti-agenda is the default mode for many.

Warp engineer here.

Here are some differentiated features:

- Blocks: we group commands and outputs together so it is easier to navigate through the terminal, and perform actions on the outputs [0]

- A text editor for the input: selections, cursor positioning, multiple cursors [1]

- Workflows which allows you to save and share hard-to-remember commands [2]

The projects you mentioned are great. They do involve some amount of configuration. We have those out of the box so they are more easily accessible to developers.

And yes, billionaires absolutely build their wealth on the backs of others. There's simply no way to become a billionaire without exploiting a system and taking advantage of others in some way. It may be legal, but legality took a sharp turn away from morality a long long time ago.

No, the bias is everywhere and HN is just reflecting that universal bias. It’s very popular to dislike Elon musk and it’s very unpopular to be a supporter. Count the number of supporters vs detractors in any mainstream thread — musk haters will be the majority every single time despite the fact that his detractors refer constantly to a phantom army of supporters. Every Reddit thread is basically 100 people responding to non-existent “fan boy” straw men. And they also like to spread the falsehood that Elon musk used gem mine money to become successful. It’s literally just made up nonsense.

People like to act like his pedo tweet was some kind of crime against humanity. Let’s have a look at your twitter if you’re so indignant. People are such shameless hypocrites.

TLDR: If you know about audio encoding and/or want to help reverse engineer this format, I'd be very interested in hearing from you!

----

Oh, a topic I know a bit about!

To add a few things onto the stuff mentioned in the article:
- A lot of places mention Dolby Digital on film being AC3 encoded. This is sadly not true - ish. Dolby were developing AC3 for film and other applications, but the version that ended up going on film isn't quite AC3 - although I suspect it's very close. To quote someone at Dolby:

> The audio coding used is actually a pre-cursor of what became AC3, and in fact, two different versions of the codec were used during the lifetime of Dolby Digital on film. We referred internally to these as EC9 and EC11. I don’t remember the exact characteristics of these codecs but unfortunately they are not compatible with AC3

- The article mentions Reed-Solomon encoding being used - this is indeed the case, but more specifically a concatenated code meaning that two Reed-Soloman instances are applied one after the other. However because nothing is nice and simple here, some of the bits are only protected by one of the R-S layers and not both, but I'm not sure which at the moment.

- The article questions how the bytes are stored - this is actually mentioned in the patent. The bytes are arranged in 2x4 groups, ie 2 horizontal, 4 vertical, and therefore each block is 38 bytes wide, and 19 bytes high. Interestingly the picture in the article is rotated - you can tell by the Dolby logo being the wrong way round.

- Something not mentioned in the article or the patent - before the Reed-Solomon decoding is applied, all the bits are XORed against a constant in order to break up large black or white areas which would be hard to detect. Because the same value is used during encoding as decoding, the original data is recovered. Sadly, I don't know what this constant value is.

I would love there to be a open source decoder for the Dolby Digital on film, but at the moment I'm at the limit of my knowledge on AC3 and audio signal processing. If anyone knows more, or wants to help, I'd be delighted! You can reach me on email `fergusondavid6@gmail.com` or discord `davidferguson#2018`

That's how everyone does it today, but given that GitHub has an issues product, it really should be better integrated.

The main issue is that issues are publicly viewable, while security alerts are only available to certain users (e.g. repo admins). Since repo owners of e.g. popular OSS repos might not want public issues around their security vulnerabilities, this isn't something that's been actioned.

Should GitHub offer more granular permissions on issues to resolve this? Probably, but unfortunately that's reaching fairly deep into how GitHub works today.

Apple invites this kind of reaction by not being transparent and not cooperating with the larger security community, for reasons that are difficult to understand.

This week's episode of the the podcast run by the Intego Mac Antivirus company talked about a new malware affecting Macos that was severe enough that Apple released Xprotect signatures for it, but didn't provide details to the rest of the security community, so anti-virus vendors had to reverse engineer the Xprotect signatures to figure out what they were for. Apple usually only updates Xprotect for the highest severity malware that's circulating widely.

https://podcast.intego.com/233

Most of the tech industry participates in information sharing through groups like the Cyber Tech Accord, the Cyber Threat Alliance, and several others. Apple is conspicuously absent from these groups.

https://cybertechaccord.org/signatories/

https://www.cyberthreatalliance.org/

What reason does Apple have to withhold information about vulnerabilities from the rest of the industry? It just puts their customers at risk. They have a trillion dollars. There's no reason they couldn't dedicate entire teams to disseminating information in a responsible way, just like every other tech company that you've heard of.

In the case of these Big Sur / Catalina patches, what benefit is it for them to not share their plans if they are in fact planning to release patches once the "regressions" are accounted for?
