First time I've seen it and I'm so excited! Have to play MI1 & MI2 again because it's been so long, I only remember bits and pieces.
I never thought I will learn the secret of monkey island. Am looking forward to get disappointed.
AutoSSH and port forwarding. You can even forward points behind a NAT. I use this technique to get to “my” box on “your” network, no firewall config changes, no issues, it “just works”.

Now I’ve never tested this with a public/high(er) volume service but it lets me pen test internal networks just like I’m sitting in the NOC. And my “VPS” host can handle dozens of simultaneous connections to dozens of endpoints. I have SSH listening on a non-standard port (eliminates 95% of the script-kiddie noise) and cert auth. That’s the only listening service on the VPS box.

I am familiar with some “TCP-in-TCP” problems but I’ve never had any. If it falls down, it just reconnects when traffic can pass again.

So what am I missing?
I think the metaverse will be huge and there is a lot of exciting potential. It's not just VR but also about pervasive computing, something that we haven't seen yet but have only glimpsed in smalltalk.
Yup. -- decrements by 1 * sizeof(type_being_pointed_to) bytes. Since the pointer was cast to (char *) first, the type being pointed to is char, which is 1 byte on most systems.

As others have mentioned, take some time to learn C on its own -- it will make the porting effort go faster, and serve you well generally.

Have you read "The C Programming Language" by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie? (but unless that code base is really old, I suggest later-than-first edition)
Email the authors.
My wife and I created the source - which helps :-)

At the time, OSM didn't record inscriptions. We now have an API so that our benches can be matched to OSM's IDs if they want. But it is a bit complicated because the GPS measures where the photographer is, not where the bench is. And benches do move around quite a bit.

We also syndicate (if that's the right word) some of the images to Wikimedia - mostly of benches dedicated to "notable" people.
Does your opinion change if it's coupled with proper carbon capture and sequestration?
The Bowery can be even worse then Market Street at times. There have been a couple of serial killers targeting rough sleepers over the last few years. The day to day experience of the Bowery is much safer than Market Street though because NYPD aggressively targets the area.
How does constructor theory relate to Wolfram's Ruliad concept[1] and the physicalization[2] of metamathematics? It seems both theories would have major implications for the foundations of physics and mathematics.

The problem, as I stated, is not postal voting. It is mass postal voting. Typically mail in voting is opt-in. Relatively few ballots are printed, and the recipient is engaged to ensure the process completes safely. The blast radius of the vulnerabilities it creates are small, and the vulnerabilities themselves are much more narrow given the selective nature of it. This is a totally acceptable mechanism whereby a relative few individuals vote in the most secure possible method they can participate in, and it doesn’t compromise the entire system.

Now, in California, all mailboxes are flooded with blank ballots for all elections. It is insanity. The entire election process here has its integrity hinged upon a signature on an envelope. Which, by the way, is quickly separated from the ballot for counting, ensuring it is fundamentally impossible to do an audit. You’d have to be a fool to take seriously the idea close, highly contested elections in California are assured to be accurate results.

The primary goal of elections is to make the public feel confidence they have a fair representative government. In other words, if basic logic dictates that you shouldn’t trust the election system, you should expect large parts of the public will stop believing they live in a democracy and act as people always do in such situations.
I like it! It's very similar to 15-Puzzle. I subscribed so I can do this in my daily puzzle routine with wordle and quordle :)
For some reason, it actually refetches the favicon with every keystroke. Which isn't a ton of traffic, but it's certainly excessive.
No, you are still conflating running something for internal use or for external users.

Under AGPL when a service is provided to the public it is not a private fork or private execution.

That's the whole point of the AGPL.
Yes! There's a sort of "uncanny valley" effect - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley

Your brain is pattern matching - but it is also noticing the "flaws" in the pattern.
Hey, thanks for your comment!

You don't encrypt, just leave your data where it is, what we need is a live connection, after loading your data in our distributed cluster in cloud, we have option to encrypt the data for further security if needed. So yes, we encrypt at our end if asked.

Our API service doesn't store data, only load them into distributed memory for computing and API serving.

Let me know if you're interested in this API service, would like to see if we can help.

But reading papers is fun and cool. You get to learn new things. If you read recent papers, you learn things that aren't just new to you but new to the entire world; you can literally learn cutting-edge things that were discovered recently. And if you read older papers, you can better understand why the world is the way it is right now.

Putting TC aside (don't most programmers make plenty anyways?), isn't it just cool to learn new and cutting-edge things? Personally, I think so. Curiosity is central to what it means to be a hacker.
This. When you feed bears, you get problem bears.

The National Parks system knows this, but cities like SF and Seattle do not.
The code is doing a lot of preprocessor macro magic, though, which rather obscures some of what is going on.
How robust is the handling? Can it tolerate unreliable network? Lost connections and hiccups?
> We observed for quite some time some features in the our data, which we could not explain. Once one of my PhD students came into my office and told that he finally figured out this feature: the protons in the ATLAS detector do not collide heads-on but under a very small angle, allowing the not interacting protons to continue their travel through the LHC on the other side of the experiment. Indeed he was right - we have not been considering this effect in our simulations, however - after some calculations and speaking to the machine experts - it turned out that this effect induces a feature in our data, which is opposite in sign that we observe; so we have been left with an effect that was twice as large and unexplained. In the end it turned out to be caused by the deformation of the ATLAS detector by its own weight of more than 7000 tons over time.

I know these people are incredibly smart and conscientious. And the standard model is extremely successful and well confirmed. But that's a lot of degrees of freedom.
Bay Area is an exception on it's own. I think that link proves OP's point.
The UCR is not really great data for ranking cities.

There are unquestionably different attitudes towards crime, enforcement, and reporting when comparing SF to other cities.
People just don't learn. We've known that it was important to keep petty crime in control since NYC's "No Broken Windows" policies of the 1990s.
Should we be taking this story at face-value, or is this a post-COVID decision to avoid rent on a property (with blame-shifting to the government because the CEO doesn't want to alienate everyone else with property to rent by making it look like they're a client that will bail)?
I think it is okay to assume that people who frequent a forum mostly inhabited by people who create software for a living would be okay with software that you would have to pay for.
I see you use NixOS. Check out these NixOS modules for setting up what I'm talking about:

We need a federal state of emergency and we need to do something about the unhoused crisis. I don't know the solution but we need to start experimenting.

Right now 0.2% of the US population is homeless. They are all over many cities on the west coast and each state and city has to deal with it themselves. I am not aware of any who have succeeded so far.

This issue is the only thing anyone can talk about. I get into Ubers and the driver starts talking about the camps. You see it on the Internet constantly.

I don't understand how everyone can be so laser focused on this but for nothing to ever happen.
How is homelessness subsidized?
> Surprisingly, the researchers found that the mass of the boson was significantly higher than the SM predicts, with a discrepancy of 7 standard deviations. —JS

This is from the editor's comment at the top of the article, I'm guessing it was a mistake, but that might be why people are getting thrown off by it
Isn't the Dropbox desktop app Electron crap these days? It's certainly not the pleasant experience it used to be.

Plus what you're talking about there is the opposite of what I'm suggesting, you wrote 2 UIs with a shared C++ logic, I'm suggesting two native platform layers with hosted webviews.
Incineration replaces a large problem with a smaller one. Instead of having large amounts of bulk garbage, you get a smaller amount of hazardous waste. You need a much smaller landfill. You can also choose a location that minimizes the environmental impact, even if it's much farther away, because you don't have to worry so much about logistics.
Everyone knows that crime stats are very misleading because

1) The DA is simply not prosecuting lots of crime, and downgrading many prosecutions (felonies prosecuted as misdemeanors or not at all), and

2) Due to above and a general perception that most crimes aren’t prosecuted, dramatically fewer reports are filed at all
Wrong

People who say such thing have no idea what they are talking about

Debugging with VSCode is a joke, and there is no GUI preview for Cocoa/UIKit/SwiftUI

XCode has many flaws, but it's properly integrated and helps you to make beautiful native apps

VSCode is a UX nightmare
But isn't it the parts that the tourists go to that set the tone for outside perceptions?

It's got a chilling effect (I don't take mass transit to Downtown Denver, and I pay for my son to park on-campus at Metro, specifically due to similar crime happening on the light rail systems.)

I was under the impression that memetic algorithms for TSP (Travelling Salesman Problem) performed a lot better than expected: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memetic_algorithm

I was told this by a professor in graph theory who co-authored a book on TSP. But he had no hand in the implementation or the testing AFAICT.
I hated the three option medallion, probably it was too clever for me.
I'm not a huge fan of vim mode vscode. The status bar indications when searching etc. are too small and the paste function is seemingly random where it will put text, it often seems to ignore where your cursor was.

Jetbrains is better at vim emulation.
I use ublock origin and block the element.
A standard deviation.
The city I live in has been an ongoing target of this kind of "thunderdome" rhetoric, and while there are well-known problem areas, the reality is nowhere near as bad as it's made out to be.

With regard to things getting worse over the past couple years, I'm not sure what people were expecting to happen when sky high rents intersected with a global pandemic, especially in places where there's not much of a safety net.
I really like the fact that partials are handled as HTML-like markup instead of the HTML just happening to be within some other template system. Kudos on that design choice!
Hey, it's the Mesh puzzles from 3 in Three! Those were always a combination of entertaining and infuriating.

This is a neat way to implement it, too.
>Starting later this year

So not launching anything after all. This, Samsung announcement (overpriced half a clamshell with integrated LCD for only two flagship models, no batteries at all) and Apple pathetic IRP (cant buy anything, only parts exchange 1:1, spying on your company books for a couple of years etc) is a sign manufacturers already see that Right to Repair legislation is coming no matter how much money they keep throwing at lobbyists, and are desperately trying to limit its scope by claiming they already offer everything advocates want (spare parts) while offering almost nothing (screens only at the price of fully working unit at a second hand market).
I used to live in SF during the mid 2010s. I feel like that was the last time it was truly habitable, although even then there were rumblings of rising crime. I personally witnessed several crimes ranging from arson, purse snatches, bike thefts, car break ins…

Nowadays the city is a complete shit hole. No one with money should be there by choice, no company should establish a headquarters there. It is a failure of government policies that have turned the city into what it is; a festering den of mentally degenerated homeless people, drug addicts, predatory sexual deviants, illegal aliens, gangsters and thieves. For me the killing of Kate Steinle is what marks the end of the glory days of SF and the beginning of its decline into ruin.

I will always remember the city for the pleasant, hopeful place it used to be, and hope to one day find a home like that again.
I lived there 10 years ago. Back then it was bad but manageable. I used to park my motorcycle on the street and once a month it would barely start. It was because someone busted off the top of my spark plug to use as a crack pipe.

My wife and I just visited, the parts that were bad parts are worse, and the nice parts still seemed fine.
Your amended comment now boils down to a tautology: "Danger varies but is never zero." Yeah, welcome to Planet Earth.

Your original comment was a straw-man attempt to dismiss all criticism of SF's crime as risible naiveté.

So what are you actually saying?
Landfills give off huge amounts of greenhouse gases
I have to say, Dolby Atmos in a certified theater, with a good seating position, is quite fantastic. Not sure you would get the same effect at home without a 64 speaker array and proper room treatment... but hey
Ongoing Atlassian Jira, Confluence outage affects customers worldwide
Yes. As a resident of SF I was curious, accepting, and optimistic of our policy experiments in the following:

1. Effectively decriminalizing all drugs

2. Focus on harm reduction instead of police enforcement to reduce drug problems

3. Bureaucracy free disbursement of cash aid to those who need it

4. Decarceration and jail avoidance as a method of preventing structural employer discrimination of people with records from ruining peoples lives

It didn't work. The city is a mess in all of the ways that the harshest critics of these policies predicted. It wasn't hard to predict, but the vision of equitable, punishment-free utopia beguiled the population and led them to mayhem.

We need to reverse course, yet the most vocal proponents are doubling down on their failed agenda.
Turborepo 1.2: High-performance build system for monorepos
Most of the time, when I search for something and land on page with GDPR banner without 'reject all' option - I just click on back button and try luck with other page.
It almost seems like a certain personality of people are drawn toward comfortable places with free food and no law enforcement.
Man I wish we could just stop talking about the climate crisis all the time and start actually doing something about it. The science has been crystal clear for decades, and we have enough studies about how to solve problem to fill libraries. The issues has been discussed sufficiently, it's time to just implement the solutions.
Another workaround is to use WSL2.
Couldn't agree more!

When I am forced to use a Windows environment I find myself reaching out to these evergreen tools in many situations and is frustrated by having to find workarounds to these tools that should be ubiquitous tools in any OS.

Everything I learned almost 30 years ago still holds true today when it comes to the basics.

And yes I know of Cygwin, MKS toolkit etc, but trying to convince corporate IT in a Microsoft Centric world to install these usually hits a brick wall.
That's a great prompt for some fun industrial design especially for liquids - meeting criteria of being strong, packable, easily cleaned, easy to pour, etc. Fun!
Google joins Samsung in working with iFixit on a self-repair program
What are some outstanding resources to learn from?
" left the ugliness and usability problems of Windows 95 in the past."

And I think this is why Linux on the desktop is going no where soon. The Win 95 interface / control panel / taskbar / start menu was very discoverable for many. In corporate environments it was THE go to interface forever. Yes, KDE and its plasmoids, Windows and it's "live tiles" are the new hotness, but for folks just looking to work the "cool" fly in fly out effects, secret touch points (move mouse to side or top of screen etc) etc are just losers.

You could RDP into a Win95 box set to best performance and basically not know you were remote. All the fancy animations are actually a negative in many environments.

Microsoft itself keeps on trying out new things, but user pressure gets them going back to older ideas.

Sadly that’s not what copy on write means. When you have file a and you copy it to file b. COW means the copy b will only be truly materialized once you write something to it/edit it. Before that, file b will be aliased to file a.
It’s a horrible idea from first principles, just because people from Oregon were comfortable with the state abandoning the secret ballot and chain of custody in elections doesn’t make it any more sane now that it’s been trust upon the rest of us.
In the kind of setup you'd use with mutagen your dev tools and compilers are typically inside the container, while your code and editor are outside the container and being synced inside the container on every change. If the container is running on another machine/cloud service then yeah it could be that your compiler is running outside your machine. But much more likely it's still running as a container on your machine. The typical use case for this is making your dev environment accessible to anyone, just send them a dockerfile and they can almost perfectly reproduce it and get going with building your software (vs. having to laboriously setup the exact version of each dev tool and compiler you use).
Show HN: Interactive realistic challenges (CTF) with an AI-Based assistance
When Dijkstra wrote his article [1], in 1968, I have no doubt he was correct. His point was essentially that code should reflect the flow of the application as closely as possible because it's immensely hard to keep everything in your head if it doesn't in the context of programming in 1968.

The thing is though, tools have moved on in the past 54 years. Seeing the flow of your code is a lot easier now. Debuggers are amazing things.

While I think his broad point (that code should be as simple and easy to follow as possible) still stands I don't really agree with it here. "goto considered harmful" could be used to argue that anything that changes and obfuscates the flow of a program when you compare the source to the compiled output is bad regardless of what it is, and that's plain silly. We'd have to throw away all manner of useful things like exceptions, macros, inheritance, etc.

I like Dijkstra's writing a lot, and he did groundbreaking work, but we have to remember to consider everything in the context of when it was written. This is a good example of that.

Although it's sorta not in line with the HN rules to introduce downvotes as a conversation topic, I'll just say that mere observation of the problems in SF used to face way more downvoting. I was not a popular guy years ago when I was honest about why I promptly left SF after finishing school there. Now I get upvoted when I talk about SF because it's all out in the open so much that mainstream news articles discuss the crime, the urban decay, the feces, the drug use in broad daylight, the homelessness, etc.

Those left who are still apologizing for SF have either never experienced anything else or are in denial.

Trust me, it breaks my heart the extent to which SF has let itself go. As bad as it was a decade ago, there was still a lot to like about it and it was a fun place to be as a young guy. I criticize SF because I want to love it, not because I hate it.

As much as there's also a lot to criticize about places like New York and Los Angeles (my hometown), they really have nothing on San Francisco in terms of social issues. Yeah, LA probably has the largest homeless encampments, but in my whole life I've rarely or never have seen what can be seen in SF. SF is the only city in America I've been to so far that's featured drug use in public parks during broad daylight, huge packs of rats running around, fentanyl zombies that actually resemble fictional zombies, elevators covered in urine, poop smeared on walkways and walls, gutters overflowing with rotten restaurant food, gangs spraying graffiti with bystanders around and no fear of being caught, and of course public displays of nudity (and occasionally other distasteful displays).

It's really amazing what the human mind can be conditioned to accept. We can become accustomed to anything.
A family in conflict might not have a future if we "only talk about 'climate crisis'".
Surprisingly it turns out that if you don't build homes, you get more homelessness.
I was having a related discussion with my wife a few days ago after we drove into downtown Portland. People who live in the city full time may not see the changes evolving around them if it does not happen suddenly, but if you are from outside the city and drive in only occasionally, the changes are astounding. I am tempted to say that the city government has clearly failed. But I hear stories about other cities experiencing similar things in the last couple years, so ... what's going on? The amount of graffiti everywhere has skyrocketed, homeless tents and camps, broken down RVs surrounded by trash littering the sides of the roads, and no sign that the city is actually doing anything about it. No social workers, no clean up crews, not even police.

I also wonder if the shift towards remote work is only going to exacerbate the problem in the near term. Restaurants and retail are leaving the urban core because many of their customers were office workers who no longer leave home.
