Sublime is way too heavy weight. Notepad++ is that thing I open up when I need to edit a 2GB log file really quick. Or use a regex to fix up a CSV file that somehow got messed up.

Not having Notepad++ on MacOS is a major pain point for me.

Notably Notepad++ is not project/folder based. It is for editing a file.
I thought the same thing. I wondered if perhaps they meant $300 Million per year annualized and also a total of 30 pilots over some number of years.
Thank you so much for your reply i really appreciate it!

If you're doing something new it's pretty straightforward to start with bazel and do everything from the start 'the bazel way'. If you're pulling in an existing codebase and a lot of dependencies along with it, you could be spending a lot of time to make it work 'the bazel way'. There's a very narrow path that bazel forces you to be on--this is what makes it work so well but make it difficult to stray off that path.
It's more complex than this though. At those speeds there is no margin for error for the intercepting aircraft and missile.

There are lots of accounts from SR-71 pilots about this. At Mach 3 slight changes in course result in large changes in position very quickly. Mach 3 at SR-71 altitudes is > 30 miles per minute. The pilots could make course changes that would put the plane off the original intercept by miles within seconds and it was very hard for a missile to adjust for that, missiles run out of fuel very quickly and have to burn their energy to change course. And they weren't very smart in the cold war.

The Soviets never managed to intercept an SR-71 even to scare it off by most accounts. The Swedes apparently claimed to have done it but only because they were friendlies and the SR-71 wasn't changing course to evade them.

During the Korean War, we believed WW3 was just around the corner.

... and during the Berlin Crisis.

... as we did when Vietnam got hot.

... just like we did when the Jom-Kippur-War broke out.

... or when Able Archer 1983 was a bit too realistic for soviet tastes

... then there were several rounds of Gulf Wars...

... remember 9/11?

What you are feeling is the "normal" state. In fact, between 2001 and 2022 is probably the longest time Europeans have not been expecting to get turned into nuclear ash by the madmen of the two superpowers. At least we can live calmly knowing we are the designated primary target and likely won't have to die slowly like the rest.

It’s not the cast to the char pointer that’s a problem, it’s decrementing the casted pointer that is the problem. (char*)hash_ptr.parm.v.p is not an lvalue so you cannot assign to it.

(char*)hash_ptr.parm.v.p = (char*)hash_ptr.parm.v.p - 1;

is not legal C, neither is

ETH is a public ledger. If you publish your address and put your own name on it, any transfers to or from that address will be associated with your public name. This is not something that can be solved.

At least not in ETH itself; even privacy coins like ZEC may have a way to make your identity public and make your history transparent – and it works as designed when you do this, your transactions are public. (In this sense, neither does using a mixer really help at all. It would just show that you've received some money and sent it to a mixer as yourself, if the mixer is also a public known entity.)

I suppose one way to solve this, is to tell people to look up your ENS name, and then sign a message and share it with them – to present them securely with an address that they can use and verify that it belongs to you, only that it won't be tied to your original identity, except by that message (which you'd have to trust them not to share as well.)
It would require a lot of effort to do this at scale, and it could not go unnoticed. Probably not perfect, but I dont see a better system.
In general: battery life, difficulty of fitting, limited usefulness for the costs.

Also, for your task, you’d need the precise location of your subject, or highly reliable obstacle detection (including “there’s nothing, not even a good path” obstacles), probably both. The latter sort-of works for self-driving cars, but their computers are rather big to carry around, and they can declare anything “clearly not a road” as “obstacle”. They don’t have to recognize a small footpath across a mountain ridge, or alongside a river.
I do wonder how accurate that is these days... Like it says that my user agent is significantly more unique than my monitor resolution, but Safari froze the user agent years ago.

Which means that they calculate there are 21x more people that have a $5k XDR display than use macOS Safari. Which seems... unlikely.

(anyway, tracking via IP address is a pretty accurate way to track across browsers and cookie resets, until you're behind a large NAT / proxy.)
This seems very odd as by the time you start feeling the effects of an hallucinogen, your body has already absorbed them past the point of expelling them being effective.
I think Linux is well on it's way to fitting in well with a zero trust framework. systemd's homed makes the user portion of the OS very portable (with other systemd installations) alongside device and user home encryption.

Running SecComp or SELinux on a developers machine probably comes with years of growing pains, but I imagine that's the last step in getting away from virus scanners.

File scanners and companies doing things like Netskope are monitoring for data exfiltration though, and it's using this usecase that some of the most pervasive anti-privacy tools get employed. In fact, Netskope (and products like it) are so invasive that in order to basically function they need to take over your root trust chain.

In a weird way - this kind of thing has pushed me towards companies that aren't anywhere near my current location, even/especially international. It makes the conversation super clear, recruiters & hiring managers can't dance around it. International brings in the prospects of visas and such.

True, it depends on what you're doing. If you have a security clearance (which, importantly, is not true for all federal employees) then you are in a drug testing position. Otherwise, it depends on what you're working on/with. Like many jobs involving heavy machinery, wage grade employees without clearances are going to get drug tested, while a clerk in an office probably won't be in a drug testing position. Finance stuff? Probably a drug testing position, whether with a clearance or not.
Everyone I saw moving to other government roles were going to equivalent or higher ratings. I'm actually not sure what the rules are if you were to go from a GS-15 position to something lower.

It is my experience as a developer of a text editor, that text edtor/IDE users make the decision whether to learn/use an editor within seconds. Just a quick look and it has been decided, in 3 seconds what they will spend their next 10000 hours working with. I do not understand this, but it is a phenomena. It's like when we look at the opposite sex and decides if he/she might become our future partner and live the rest of our life together - and the decision is made within seconds. At least the filtering-out.
Yikes. Some of us are just friendly.
I formulate opinions of people when I hear their political leanings; usually negative ones. I have no reason for this, and frankly, I don't want to do it. It just happens.

Nice game. Loved it!
One of the surprises I got after being locally anesthetized for a surgery, was that I could no longer localize my arm in space without looking at it. Proprioception is heavily based on the flow of air against our skin and hair.

Some flowmeters are based on that principle, using a tiny mechanical hair that vibrates as air flows over it, and I've always felt robotics should just dump a whole bunch of them on their moving parts rather than rely on a few gyroscopes and servomotors to estimate their position in space.

Yes, we are sleepwalking into WW3, much in the same way we sleepwalked into WW2. The West has completely misunderstood Putin, and will continue to do so until it's too late to stop these events (a strong show of force and a no-fly-zone would have stopped this, but it's too late now). Scholz is the Chamberlain of our age.

Putin aims for territorial expansion to reclaim the USSR plus some buffer space, and to secure Russia's place as a world power again. This must happen by force since Russian economic and cultural influences are insufficient.

Nothing will dissuade Putin from his aims, as he believes this to be an existential crisis that threatens the very existence of Russia if he doesn't act now.

He started on this adventure because of bad intel from the FSB about his armed forces, Ukrainian resistance, and world reaction. The plans were modeled after Operation Danube ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Pact_invasion_of_Czecho... ), and were supposed to become a fait accompli so that there'd be nothing for the West to do, like all the other times before. Except it didn't work out that way this time. It's far too late to stop now; either he wins, or Russian ambition is destroyed forever. Granted, the ambition has been reduced to only Donbas, but he still needs to walk away with territory and then prepare for his next slice.

You can read it in Karaganov's own words here: https://www.newstatesman.com/world/europe/ukraine/2022/04/ru...

There was a Youtuber that made a device like this with the lidar from an iPad and a 3x3 grid of dots to detect obstacles. The problem he ran into was sensory resolution vs. ability to perceive that resolution. (Unsurpisingly) your eyes are unparalleled for picking up visual resolution.

https://taskandpurpose.com/news/military-aviation-mishaps-de... indicates that the U.S. have had 224 deaths and lost 186 aircraft over seven years, so roughly thirty airmen a year sounds about right.

I suppose one could be pedantic about pilots rather than aircrew at large, since those 186 aircraft would have had one pilot each, but the larger point still stands. Someone probably just saw the 224 number and thought each indicated a plane manned by a single pilot.
Ask HN: Accepting ETH payments on my website
Hello,
Wondering how I can accept crypto payments, mainly eth, on my site.
I know there are crypto payment gateways, but I want to do this myself.

I see there is a way to do it with metamask but I can't seem to find the answer to one question.

Does the end user need a metamask wallet to payment on my site?

When looking at the code it suggests that but I'm not sure. And that seems rather limiting.

Thanks for the help.
I accept all of them, and my browser is set to clear all cookies and history when I close it. I also use an ad blocker. They may track me while I'm on their site, but not before or after so I don't really care.
I've heard my complaint be called an excuse before, but consider that it's also the first barrier. Not a big one when you already decided to take a course, when you're seriously interested, when you just look them up and soon enough you know the conventions in the field. That's different from casual reading on HN, though. And tell me, are scientists not a class that is looked up to where you live? The common Joe might not explicitly say so, but if someone is a "scientist" then you don't expect them to be stupid or muck out stalls; they do have some real status. This doesn't come from doing things that seem like any common Joe can do it, yet a lot of the work is just that. Once you start paying attention to how often "new research" in the news amounted to a big survey and very basic statistics, or playing around with a Kinect in a train station to learn about walking patterns, it doesn't seem so different from what regular HN readers do for a living. If you take the paper behind such a survey, it'll turn out to be full of complexity that is a lot harder to get through than necessary. It could be a lot more accessible, but then they would lose status.

It seems to me that brevity is the real excuse here. Moreover, if it were just about symbols but papers were otherwise accessibly written (to reasonable extents, obviously), that would be different still. This is not the case.

Appearances are probably also important for funding. I'd bet that if you submitted same proposal twice, once phrased in a convoluted way and once phrased in a "we're gonna blow up some material multiple times and see how far the shards fly" style, a number of times to independent funding committees, there would be a statistically significant correlation with which proposal gets funded.

Given the context, the Tu-144 seems like a glaring omission here, and perhaps was one more reason why the government wasn't interested in a supersonic passenger MiG.
Was there anyone with more than a passing knowledge of the issue that ever believed we'd keep it <=1.5C? Imagine "keep global temp rise <=1.5C" is a user story or requirement for your software project. Your project manager asks about progress. What would you tell them? "We just keep piling on the CO2 output. But we believe we'll soon do better!"

"We've done little to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, but we've pass some toothless 'laws' that mandate zero emissions by the time that >1.5C has long since passed."

From my POV, it's a hair-on-fire, time-for-some-hard-sacrifices situation if we're serious about it. But I think it's a lot of wishful thinking combined with spouting enough nonsense to get through the next election.

Just list military applications of whatever you want developed. They are not concerned with how big of a market it might be. If can give their troops advantages, they are interested.
I'm mostly mad at the dark patterns used. The ones that are accept vs decline are fine and usually I just add them to ublock if I'm going to visit that site again. An example of annoying is stack overflow. There are "essential" cookies that I have to accept. And to get there I have to navigate a few places. Luckily they aren't as aggressive about covering up the content so usually I just ignore it. Unfortunately I haven't successfully added this to unlock. And I have an automatic cookie destroyer. Tell me again why your cookies are essential and I have to accept them? (Yes I know cookies are needed to save settings, but maybe only prompt at the time I would need them, like login. I don't need cookies to just browse SO)

Ok, constructive feedback -
Why I think this product isn't for me or my company - When 7/10 team mates comply and keep it on always, the pressure is on the remaining 3 to turn on their cameras as well. I can understand the need if it's a sales or pre-sales call, but this would be a pressure even for daily/bi-weekly standup calls.

The most important point of all - when you go offline, it is now amplified in terms of visibility. For example, when I work remote, I'm not 24/7 on my desk. Heck, I may not even be on my desk for hours when others are working, but I may work at night to compensate for that when it's usually peaceful. But, a manager's perception of me might be that I'm most of the time unavailable, when it's not true. This may affect my performance reviews, etc.

IF you had pitched this as an alternative to Zoom with a privacy angle, that would be a real sweet deal for me. Perhaps, you could try to have a separate sales page for it as a pro-privacy zoom alternative, I have a feeling it may be received well by remote workers like us than what is pitched on the homepage.

I hope this feedback helps :)
It'll have some small issues, of course. From what I can read online some plugins don't work because they rely on the Windows Script Host (the thing that runs JS and VBS scripts) and there's a performance issue here and there, but that's about it.

The thing about games is that there's only a limited OS surface area that they'll usually touch. There's I/O, GPU, a single render Windows, audio, and input state, but when those core APIs work, games should run just fine. Boring Win32 software can get real dependent on some obscure system APIs, COM+ objects with certain properties, library loading behaviour, etc., all things that can be a challenge to emulate successfully without tripping up programs that assume certain APIs just never fail or return certain results. Games don't call APIs like DsRoleGetPrimaryDomainInformation or SHEnumerateUnreadMailAccountsW so projects like Proton don't usually add a lot of fixes in that space.

If you have not done a survey, then please do not make generic claims in a public forum about a whole ecosystem based on your limited personal observations.

>I'm sad JS needs a build step. The best build system is none at all IMHO.

Good news: JS doesn't need a build step. Modern webdev wants a build step mostly because it wants Javascript to feel more like a "serious" language. There are technical benefits to compiling to Javascript, most of which can be served by other means, but the unnecessary complexity of the Javascript ecosystem is mostly about gatekeeping and aesthetics and i will die on that hill.

>I'd love to see native support everywhere for typescript or other things we typically depend on a build for today.

Typescript is part of the problem. You can literally just accept Javascript for what it is - dynamically typed - and write it like any other scripting language.
Upvoted, this viewpoint seriously needs to become the norm, thank you for providing it.
Mexican dude here as well. The last time I visited SF I was assaulted by some random dirty homeless drug addict: I was waiting my wife outside of a Sephora near Market Street drinking some bottled water, when suddenly a huge dude (I'm a small Mexican, 1.67m) stands extremely close to my side and starts shouting shit to me. I could not understand what he was saying, and it was evident he was disturbed. After about a minute of him shouting at me I got to grasp something about "water", I guessed that he wanted my bottle of water, so I gave it to him and walked to the Sephora shop.

It reminded me of here in Mexico, because all people passing by were just getting away from both of us, and nobody did anything.

I haven't returned to SF and don't plan to return if I can prevent it.

Games back then without access to walkthroughs on the net were genuine puzzles that one spent weeks over. Ideas popped into ones head after a night of trying out various things and it was genuinely satisfying. I hated making genuine progress and then being blocked because of lack of some copyright protection codes from a manual (mostly Sierra games).

It was a more complex albeit a simpler time.
