A gas station near me has stickers on pumps with a QR code that supposedly links to a rewards app. I may be wrong, but I think it says something about paying through the app. Seems perfect for phishing.
Who says mainstream attitudes are moderate?

To a devout Muslim, the amount of freedom of speech we have around the prophet is radical.

To a leftist, the exploitation of laborers by the capitalist class is radical.

To the religious right, LGBT rights are radical.

To racists, race mixing is radical.

The only thing that makes it seem moderate to you is your ideology.

>I kinda sympathize with the sentiment to create a more relaxed version of Twitter where only the obvious in terms of free speech is excluded

How does this happen though? When someone is "cancelled on Twitter" what does that mean? Is it Jack Dorsey going in a banning your account? Twitter suspensions, by the actual company, are relatively well reasoned. What most people don't like is the Twitter mob, who does not work for Twitter. Despite people saying they want "more free speech" what they actually want is to suppress the free speech of others so they can say what they want.

Given what a dumpster fire npm ecosystem is security wise, it's best to run the whole build chain in a container anyway, at least for frontend apps. This way you also don't care about the chosen package manager or node.js version - you can just set it as you wish in the Dockerfile. It does take more disk space though, but to me it's a nice compromise.
Many (if not most) Azov members are Russian-speaking ethnic Russians. And vice versa, many of those fighting Azov are ethnic Ukrainians. The question is not the language or ethnicity but where one supports the Euromaidan or not. And Russia's biggest mistakes were recognizing that Western puppet regime, trying to negotiate with them (Minsk) and going the Nord Stream 2 way. And it's not clear why Putin went this way and tried to leave Donbass and Luhansk with Ukraine even though the population demanded the opposite. Maybe he believed Medvedchuk but more likely we just don't see the whole picture.

Also war still has not been declared officially and the Russian side is still fulfilling the obligation to Kolomoyski, that is the pipelines are still pumping gas and oil. And why Russia destroyed storage tanks at Kolomoyski's oil refinery only a few days ago? Has it something to do with Kolomoyski's friend Abramovich taking part in the negotiations recently? Obviously, we don't see the full picture here and unlikely will.

Regarding to what happened in Bucha we still have no names of the victims, not to mention a forensic report which is infinitely harder to fake than a news video. On the other hand we see videos where Ukrainian troops torturing their Russian army prisoners (shooting legs, cutting throats) and numerous reports from civilians in Mariupol of Azov shooting them while they were trying to leave the city and using them as a human shield, occupying higher floors in residential buildings and placing their firing points there etc.
The way I do it is search for the media on my phone using the Jellyfin app, and the app has an option to cast it to whatever detected device via DLNA. You can do this from the phone app or web browser on your LAN.

well germany uses less gas for energy, but more for heating and overall way way more coal. of course france has less co2 emissions. coal is even worse than gas which favors france by a big margin.

in a best of case scenario we would not use either of coal,gas,nuclear oil or any other fossil technology, but we are far from it, but i'm pretty sure europe is closer than most other countries/states/etc.

I've been reading Nestor's book, and I've been unable to get a feel for how valid it is. It makes some extremely strong, practically outlandish claims.

I can't even find a good technical review of it. The closest I could find simultaneously says that the book is almost "snake oil" and also "Most are solid facts, actually; so solid that they’re already well known and ‘out there’ in the public domain".

He devotes much of it to an "experiment" with himself and one other of absolutely zero scientific basis. The author knows it's anecdote and not data, but he goes on to praise a lot of poorly-documented practitioners.

It reminds me a lot of "Born to Run", which similarly made a lot of very strong claims that were later partially or entirely discredited. It was clearly not for me: my feet are extraordinarily flat and they were not going to develop great arches, ever.

I've been trying some of the breathing exercises and practices, without any extraordinary changes in mood or health. I'm willing to keep trying, because it doesn't seem entirely unreasonable, but I'd like to know why the skeptical review I cited also believes it's well-known.

I can't think of real-world examples of apps that have read path scaling problem that this tech would solve well. It would be great if the authors can catalogue a bunch of real-world use-cases. (real-world customer case-studies would be even better).

Today, machines are super huge (in terms of compute cores, memory and iops for storage and network) and a single Mysql or PostgreSQL database can do a lot of work. This makes it much much easier to build apps that don't have as many users at Internet scale – that is pretty much all enterprise apps – without resorting to distributed databases.

In Internet scale consumer app domains like e-commerce/delivery or fintech where relational databases are used heavily, most queries would have strict correctness requirements and won't tolerate staleness. Also, most query-results would be highly specific to each user and won't have much cache hits. Also, apps in general are increasingly personalised and have fast changing content.

In terms of technology evolution, I see people moving from single large machine databases to distributed sql databases as their use-cases scale.

And as distributed sql databases mature, I expect they will get built-in capability to generate user-defined materialised views with flexibility to manage their placement w.r.t class and number of machines to compute and serve them etc.
But why do the teachers and schools have to talk about sex orientation, gay or not? I grew up from a culture where sex was never talked about by teachers and I don't think I missed anything. Of course students did talk about it among themselves. This whole idea of teachers must talk about sex in school sounds extremely stupid to me.

UPDATE: I just read a news case which is somewhat related to the law: https://www.kentucky.com/news/local/education/article2601061...

The title makes it was about the message on the board, while it was not. The music teacher talked about sex orientation and trans issue in the classroom.

QUOTE:

“The issue at hand is the conversations that took place during class. I firmly believe that students and their parents expect teachers to teach content about their assigned curriculum in a subject area,“ Saylor said. “Of course, there are times that conversations may vary from that day’s lesson plan, but these conversations went far beyond the music curriculum. It is my job to make sure that parents are not surprised by these types of situations.”

Saylor said he believes that all teachers have a responsibility to be supportive of their students, “but when students share difficult situations and circumstances with them, the student should be referred to a certified school counselor.”
Tech power users (and power users in general I would say) might have more money to throw at the problem. "Nicheness" isn't necessarily a bad thing if your niche is profitable. I heard somewhere that power-grid-scale transformers are have insanely long lead times so the industry most be pretty niche (when's the last time you needed one of those?) and yet I think we can all agree that the equipment is valuable and I bet those manufacturers are making bank.
Hunters laptop was NOT hacked; it was abandoned at a repair shop which after 30 days became the property of the owner of the shop. BTW this is NOT uncommon. Not just for comptuer repair shops but storage units, auto mechanics, etc.

You can't hack something you own. The whole "hack" thing is such a stupid narrative yet people cling to it - probably because there is no other defense for what was on the laptop.

admittedly it has been awhile since I tried it, but a good amount of the stuff I acquire is anime and plex handles it better than anything else, with the AMSA plugin at least. Anime can be a little weird with a different naming formats, multiple language audio and subtitles, fansub preferences, and sequel seasons sometimes having a different name from the first.

I also need to be able to set a language preference for both audio and subtitles since I am one of those subs>dubs weirdos. If I have to set the audio track every single episode I am just going to hook up my laptop and play it in mpchc.

Whenever I look at open issues for emby or jelly I get the impression that anime is annoying to deal with so I'll just stick with the plex plugin that already works.

The right to stream content is an asset which can and will change hands. If a streaming service is on the verge of shutdown, its streaming library can and will be sold off as part of shutdown proceedings and other streaming providers will happily step in. As such a "big one going dark" is going to be more of an annoyance than anything else.
> because of some flakey third-party service

I've started building in auto retries to the CI scripts for this type of thing, at least once it annoys me to a certain extent. The most glaring and unavoidable ones that come to mind across several projects are external certificate time stamping services.

I generally hate this type of thing: retry mechanisms are a lazy band-aid that can mask real problems. But at the same time, it just isn't possible to get to 100% and retry is a better band-aid than constant human intervention.
Above you said that twitter was pretty much as permissive as they could as you can get while operating in the US. Don't you think you're moving the goalpost in your response here?

I don't see how anyone could seriously sustain an argument that twitter is as permissive as they could be lawfully. (Nor would I argue that they should be /that/ permissive in any case, the law in the US is a very very low bar, in part because we recognize that there are other ways to deal with bad speech than prohibiting it by law)

That could just as easily be attributed to the word Nix being easy to search for. But even if everyone on HN is aware of what it is, that doesn't make it mainstream by any definition I can think of. There are countless examples in the world of things that most people (in a given audience) are aware of, but that almost none of them participate in.

This would be easily exploitable by a competitor. For example, search engines (used to) rank back links - that is other domains pointing to your domain. Some bad actors took advantage of this by creating rings of sites that voted each other up. Google responded by punishing the behavior. Then, competitors started taking advantage of this punishment by creating a network of sites that backlinked to a competitor, so they would get punished instead.

This isn’t a hypothetical example - Google actually includes in their webmaster tools a “disavow links” capability so sites can avoid getting punished for bad actors trying to make them look bad. But you can imagine if the penalties were even more severe other folks may get caught up in an unforgiving dragnet with no judge or jury and no way to appeal.

My main point is that people will find ways to game the system, and usually sharp edges (“harsh punishments”) on any system will be taken advantage of by actors, and unfairly penalize others.
I understand where you're coming from.

My take is that there are plenty of commercial projects that have open source dependencies so it's not quite so black and white. That said we are still figuring out the best way to proceed on open sourcing the warp client code.
It may be old, but it is valid, and it allows me to mock Rust and Nix advocates at the same time; who could resist?

And where would that be? Not so obvious. Stick in a random person and they’d have no idea. You could easily say the same thing today. Are you not wanting to make the mistakes of all previous computing and know the direction it should take? If you do, and you’re able to execute and change the direction of computing, you’d be a very rare talent indeed.

By the way, can you define "CLI surgery" for me? I used Unix for a while but haven't played with containers beside chroot jails, and I suspect all that is just your company overcomplicating simple things.
Exactly. Cheap debt is not so cheap anymore, so VCs are going to stop steam rolling all their asymmetric bets.
Containers don't provide much protection from malware, unless you're running it rootless under an unprivileged user (no sudo access, no ssh keys or anything else interesting in the home directory, etc; and even then it's limited because the attack surface is enormous).

Instructions correlate to energy but not to performance. If you're benchmarking performance you should use wall clock time.
>Remarkably, if you have just enough of some more round-trip efficient storage to get you through the night, the round-trip efficiency of the ammonia, hydrogen, liquified nitrogen, or what-have-you doesn't matter very much. Solar panels are so cheap, you can afford to be wasteful.

i wonder if round-trip efficiency really is all that negligible when solar panel development and shipping is no longer subsidized by fossil fuels and must also use the energy-storage tech of choice as the predominant source of energy for anything not directly hooked up to the grid. a 20% RTE efficiency has a 5x impact on required energy to do anything. Are there enough good locations for solar to cover the needs of all long-term storage needs 5x over? Do we have enough raw materials for that many panels? Seems plausible tbh but idk

In any case, isn't ammonia incredibly toxic? whats the work-around there? we assume perfect handling of it by all parties at every level of a globally large scale operation? A gasoline leak is bad enough, but an ammonia pipeline bursting? that seems like a hard sell

It's definitely more locked down, less open than something like Linux or BSD and less developer-friendly (signed software, etc.), which takes away from the Linux/Unix hacker ethos IMO.

Here's something modestly bigger: the UK's JET reactor recently produced 11 megawatts for five seconds.

https://www.mpg.de/18250857/jet-fusion-facility-new-world-en...

The plasma was stable and they could have gone longer except instead of superconductors, JET uses copper coils that would melt if they went longer.

Their input energy was about three times their total output. But fusion output scales with the square of reactor volume and the fourth power of magnetic field strength, and modern REBCO superconductors can support much stronger fields than JET was using.
That's gotta be cathartic for the founder of Bolt. Seeing the company that made a deal with "the Mob" go belly up.
Because open source is driven by hobbyism and passion. And people are really passionate about the computers they're not allowed to use at their jobs anymore. But all those ifdefs scare and discourage the rest of us.

Isn't this the same process you yourself referenced? There's nothing stopping people from forking and building leaner versions of these programs, but it turns out that projects with those passionate, nostalgic developers are more successful even with the support burden than that same project without them. That backwards-support might be a cost rather than a waste.
