I read the initial post, rather than your two expansion posts, and will suggest to you that the audience for long form content is limited. Even your replies are too long for me to read. Yes this is an asshole reply, but I am being honest.
The telling quote is:

"Dinosaurs: The Final Day with Sir David Attenborough will be broadcast on BBC One on 15 April at 18:30 BST. A version has been made for the US science series Nova on the PBS network to be broadcast later in the year."

No, this is very wrong. You can maintain a fork. You can do that while maintaining positive relations with them to see if eventually they do decide to take the PR.

Of course nobody wants to do that because it's a lot of work. So what's really happening here is you're trying to play hot potato with a feature that nobody wants to maintain, not even you. I sympathize, I also have patches sitting around in various projects that went nowhere. There just isn't enough time in the day for unpaid volunteers to look at every patch.
As far as I understood Thunderbolt doesn't require the problematic kernel extension OP was using.
Right, but it's nothing to do with M1 or USB-C, it's any Mac regardless of CPU architecture and any USB external drive regardless of connector.

Apple's USB Mass Storage driver is incomplete. That's the actual problem.
I didn't mean that, quite.

I meant, there isn't a current ideological rationale for trade/development/etc. There isn't a vision for where it leads. Etc.

I mentioned 90s neliberalism-ish policies. Well... those were a promise of a better world. So was communism, democratic socialism, etc. They had visions of the future. Rationales for how things get better.

Now... There isn't. Trade or security are just about trade and security. They aren't part of a bigger whole. They aren't about a vision for anything. There's no reassurance that this is good for Africans, or even for Americans. It just is.
I'm sorry but what do you mean by 'M1 consoles'?
Surveillance laws tend to gradually expand and very, very rarely get rolled back.

Once the database is there, someone will bring up the proposal to apply it to some CCTV cameras. That will be shot down. Then someone will bring it up a few years later. Then a few years later it will actually happen. Then it will be slowly expanded.

I'm all for concentrating on functionality over visuals, but that website ain't a way to win hearts and minds.
Incidentally the greatest moment in this video is not the "oh... that's what those are" moment, looking in the mirror.

The greatest moment is the head-turn and the wide-eyed look on her face as she is sitting down. Like: "oh this changes everything".
So instead of one big centralised database they'll make couple of smaller ones which are all connected. In other words, same result, different implementation.
The K/T impactor had linear dimensions comparable to the scale height of the atmosphere. Unless the impact was at an extremely shallow angle (unlikely) breaking up in the atmosphere would have no significant effect. The mass of atmosphere that could potentially transfer momentum with the impactor before impact would be much less than the mass of the impactor.
"I need to be entertained" is absolutely a valid problem. Even from a practical standpoint, people make billions of dollars from that.
If there is nukes war, it will basically wipe out USA and likely UK as well. Russia probably has significant losses as well but due to its size and terrain plus population density, Russia will eke out a winning population to continue Russia as a nationhood after the war. US will be just left as a oral tradition. I don't think other countries will be affected much other than loss in trading opportunities in dollar. Russia has significantly more nukes than all western countries combined. And that is official numbers. They have their own uranium mines and even US has to import from them. So the number of nukes will be significantly more in the unofficial numbers. Plus, they have access to China as production centres for all the widget they needed. While US by their own suspicion paranoid manner wouldnt engage China for such production needs. With US and UK gone, whatever left as NATO will ceased to exist as they have very little nukes left to counter the remaining nuke countries.
In any realistic exchange, there will be entire countries spared from the effects. Particulate matter rarely crosses hemispheric boundaries. Most of Africa, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand would be spared. Given the roughly 1k standby weapons each side has, neither Russia or the US would waste missiles on anything other than military targets and capitol cities of nuclear powers involved in the exchange.

This isn’t the Cold War where weapons numbered in the 10s of thousands. Every continent is not split between East and west. There is limited reason China/NK would involve themselves in a nuclear escalation between Russia and NATO.

The part we should be concerned with is that the above makes a nuclear exchange over a proxy war far more likely. Alternately, if both sides decide on a second use policy similar to chemical weapons in ww2 - a conventional war becomes possible.
Does this self awareness mean cats have evolved now?
Does this hold any consequence? Genuinely curious. I did not study any biology, so I don't know where this leads us.
The issue is simply that most extra functions of USB storage devices are controlled by sending SCSI pass-through commands which macOS has never allowed from user space. This could be worked around by providing your own kext, but this has become almost impossible these days.

Installing FreeDOS for 8086 on an IBM 5150 [video]
bash isn't compatible with python either, unless you use #!/usr/bin/python or the like.

All my shell scripts start with #!/bin/sh, so the language my user shell runs is irrelevant. Sometimes I do have to preface copypasta with "bash" and end it with "exit", but it ain't the end of the world.

There are a bunch of good reasons to prefer one shell over another, this isn't one of them.

How about UPNPC when your local gateway supports it?

sudo apt install miniupnpc
upnpc -r 22 57922 TCP # forward 57922 on public address to this client's port 22

Together with something like https://dynv6.com/ you even get a subdomain that you can point to the public address:

curl "https://ipv4.dynv6.com/api/update?ipv4=auto&token=$TOKEN&zone=$ZONE.dynv6.net"
curl "https://ipv6.dynv6.com/api/update?ipv6=auto&token=$TOKEN&zone=$ZONE.dynv6.net"
Speaking of cat genomics, cats have the interesting property of being the only animal where you can easily read their phenotype from their genotype.

If you look at the base sequences in their DNA you can clearly see whole runs that just spell out “CATCATCATCAT”.
Really, it sounds like the title should be “FYI - Apple doesn’t support SMART over USB”. Or “Apple’s USB mass storage driver is incomplete — PLEASEFIX.”

I’d be interested to know the answer. But given that the original solution was to use a custom kernel extension, I’m more inclined to believe that the answer is — Apple didn’t think anyone would need it.
Yes, that's what I mean by an exception for checkmates in 1.
America Has Two Feet. It’s About to Lose One of Them. (2020)
I don't ever remember seeing a 'science is wrong' headline before COVID, only breathless headlines about the benefits of whatever the article is about. For reference see the latest breathless headlines about the solar panels that can produce energy at night, despite it being 50 milliwats even in the original papers title.
This may be a mystery best left unsolved. If we insist on figuring it out experimentally, I recommend waiting until I'm dead of some non-nuclear-fireball cause.

There is no reason to escalate tensions in Ukraine to the point where this is an option, anyway. NATO should back off, call it Iraq 2.0 and agree that there are to be no NATO-supported military on Russia's doorstep. The current policies are recklessly provocative.
Nah I appreciate the honest feedback. I was definitely worried about this so we'll see how it goes!
Generally my workflow when developing scripts (in Python) is to run individual functions in the repl so I can get it right.

This isn't possible with bash unless I start the python repl, so at that point, what is the point?

Hey, it's possible you spend a lot of time writing scripts, and they need to be bash compatible. Zsh is great for that.

Just wanted to reflect how made-up this sounds to those of us who treat sh like any other language.
I use Joplin and a docker next cloud instance on my local home network and set Joplin to only sync on wifi. Works great to keep notes synced on phone and laptop!
If it's all as inevitable as the tides, what is there to argue about?
Pledge is a bad example, it isn't applied to a lot of packages in the ports tree and it's infeasible to do it for every program. In the end you'll find you end up with the same situation as Linux: another layer on top with daemons implementing blanket security policies using pledge on behalf of the programs. Kind of like... a sandbox.

SELinux is also a bad example, even if you decide you're using that as the underlying technology you still need to implement a sandbox with various on top of it. SELinux does nothing without those rules.
> By helping the gov. France secures its influence on the area and makes sure French company’s business is safe.

That's not how things played out in real life, in fact the exact opposite is true. There is now a very strong anti-French sentiment in Mali (in part exacerbated by Russia), and France lost a huge part of the influence they had in the whole region.
It is interesting to see the tensions play out between managers/"entrepreneurs" and workers in threads like this.

The idea that the establishment of a working week is government tyranny is obvious to one side and bizarre to the other.

The connection is "influence in China" and "contemporary colonialism" which is a broad enough topic for a large series of articles.

But I agree that this stands on its own as a topic and Belt and Road would feel shoehorned in within an article this short.
I don't know. But after twenty years of cats around me as a kid, that video never ceases to confound me.

Because I've only ever seen cats confused, agitated or completely avoidant around mirrors.

I'd always assumed the avoidant thing was, you know, "don't look at the mirror cat and it won't look at me, and we won't have to have the fight where nobody wins".

But the ears video makes me wonder if cats don't look at mirrors because they can't quite process the implications.
He's trying to say they are no better than an XBox. It's a slur.
"Have to emulate most software", WTF? I just checked activity monitor, and of the 575 processes it shows, exactly zero are not native.

Mmt's core doesn't have anything to enforce. It's a description, not a prescription.

I agree that it's tangential to a lot of half baked ideas.

So now, with inflation... Mmt explains why it is happening now, but didn't happen (eg) following the 2008 bailouts.

And on the python mailing lists. The last I recall seeing that name was in context of crowd funding after going through some tough times. It was quite sad. Hope things are better now.
And that was over three decades ago, you'd kind of expect technology to advance a bit in that time.
You do realize was replying to a hypothetical "they (China, India, Iran, Africa) will be working 24/7 to build an alternative payment system"
Speaking of painting sculptures, I wonder why they never try to re-paint Greek and Roman sculptures. I've read some articles that show what the statues would have looked like back in the day and paint makes them look spectacular.
> Try that in US, what will happen?

Change it - to try that “about US” and “be in” Yemen, Pakistan, Egypt, etc. Then see what happens to the individual! Guess?

Even this comment of yours reeks of hypocrisy. You are totally focused on “what happens to people in the US” and as long as that’s fine all is hunky dory.

In your comment you’ve totally not even touched upon what “USA has been doing outside USA - to other countries - usually the developing and underdeveloped countries”. Because that is “well.. you know… you know..”.

> by the rule of law

Which fucking law? Whose rule? Whose rule of law?

Entire fucking colonialism was a “legal endeavour”, in fact essentially a “civilising” the “natives” expedition that the kind white world took upon itself with great pains to do in the name of God and the King. Is that kind of rule of law you’re talking about? Because that kind of thinking never went anywhere during nid 1900s. It’s right there.

Well, then I guess Russia also decided to sell Ukraine some “freedom”. Oh, that sounds horrible? But why so?

As someone else said - I'm not worried about nuclear war. I'm worried I won't be caught in the blast radius.
wow, I had never heard of this, this looks like it would certainly have been captivating at the time to a certain kind of budding coder. (I was a very anti-Windows Mac guy at the time, and also 28, so that probably explains why I never heard of it)
Convinced? I've been in crypto since 2013 and see where things are going. Also living in a corrupted country with lots of state control over media and money, I see how taking back control would change the society and dynamics.
Any books references about deployment life cycle? Thanks.
You could argue that it would be a very good thing to have currency competition. In that sense it would increase possible efficiencies, and reduce the need for America to be the world police. If you believe this, then what is going on is good for future stability.
This comment reeks of not knowing Indian history or geopolitics.
that is a very memorable incident - not least for the number of lives lost. I am not sure if it was deference as much as reverting to a native speech pattern in a critical moment.

"We are at takeoff" is what the pilot said and a native English speaker would have said something more like "We are taking off". A subtle difference - I grok what he was saying after the fact but in the moment the other's understanding was something like 'the KLM plane is currently at the starting point for takeoff'.

All these are just guesses on my part - I think of this incident often, particularly in terms of clarity and 'closed loop' comms under stress.

> Both can be understood as interventions

And both are wrong.

> but they are not equivalent

And still, both are wrong.
Yeah, I got that, and while I am mildly worried about that, it hasn't been an issue in the last almost 20 years.

I am only mentioning bandwidth because someone could easily saturate my internet connections by extensively brute forcing, and that's another mild concern (perhaps those are things that kill my modems?).

In practice, biggest issue is that Gmail in particular will never rank your server as trusted because you are sending too low a volume (how's that for an anti spam measure?), and 1/3rd of recepients report emails ending up in spam folders. Curiously, only Gmail does that.
I say just run firefox with NoScript for an easier medium... Add on "I don't care about cookies" and you're off to the races.
Right so what would you do in Nigeria and Mali, two countries with weak militaries struggling to maintain control of their territory? Options

1. Ignore their requests for training, because who cares about them. If they’re overrun by jihadists, it’s fine.

2. Train their military, helping them maintain peace and security internally. Consequences - you’ll be on the hook for any actions that military takes in the future. Intellectuals on HN will criticise this action with the benefit of hindsight.

Please, choose one.

The thing with “clever” comments like yours is that the lack the basic level of thought.
The idea that Africa being poor and unstable is related to cheap goods in Europe and the US is complete fiction.

Furthermore, you rate unconscious desires of westerners over the actions of Africans. What would have to occur for you to attribute a coup in an African country to the actual human beings who carried it out?

I learnt about ZKP recently from a friend. Thanks for writing this, it was an interesting read.
Reading this makes me think ZKPs are somehow related to Property testing, isn't it? Because in property testing the goal is to probabilistically check proofs. Here in this article for example, the property of the answer is that it should have numbers 1 to 9 in every row, column, and box.

I switched from zsh/oh-my-zsh to fish mostly because fish does everything I want for an interactive shell and is simply one package from my package manager.

With frameworks like oh-my-zsh I'm always worried about supply chain attacks.

I do use https://starship.rs (which is also a package away), and I think things like fisher https://github.com/jorgebucaran/fisher are useful when you need a specific fish script.

I also don't really like writing zsh scripts because I always run them through https://www.shellcheck.net which works best with posix sh/bash

You can just ignore all the lame social media drama. The main reasons to use GTK4 is probably for the performance fixes and hardware acceleration. If you don't care about that and the idea of porting seems unfun then yeah, don't bother.

But you're right there was a lot more developers and funding involved in GTK2 days.
I don’t see this behavior on either my iPad or iPhone. They both are using about 12 MB of document storage space. I’ve been using Signal for years. My chats all expire in 1 hour, perhaps that feature delete’s correctly. Note: Twitter, on the other hand, is using over a gigabyte of local storage for some strange reason.

Signal is open source, maybe somebody can go in and fix it if there is a problem. I suppose if someone’s extremely paranoid they could just simply delete the app and reinstall. Though Signal does do some strange replication of data I have never understood, because I’ve installed it on a laptop and saw it pull down a bunch of chat history that I thought I had deleted, but still couldn’t see in the app.

Gotta laugh. Seems that we are no longer customers, but consumers; like some open-mouthed whale hoovering up the plankton. Feed me, feed me now!

> While retailers have indicated that they are seeing an increase in items returned to stores and online, the upside is that it also provides them with additional opportunities to connect further with customers and provide a positive experience.

Yes, because a customer that wastes your time and money is really valuable. That's sarcasm, by the way.

I'm actually surprised by the 10.6% return rate in 2020. I buy low-value items, so it's not like I'm taking a punt on much. I almost never return items. What are people playing at? It's straight-down-the-middle guy like me that are ultimately ponying-up for these flakes. eBay is pretty good. Amazon seems to want you to spend at least £20, so I try to avoid them on the whole.
Learn from your mistakes, consider it tuition. One of the big hurdles junior devs don't realize is that customers actually use your work, so anything that can go wrong will go wrong. So you have to spend more time with the ancillary stuff (handling exception gracefully, logging, multiple tabs, logged in on two machines, etc) than you are likely currently. Mistakes should be welcome if they have an roi. Keep at it, you can improve and everyone will benefit.
But when both occur together, they become extremely powerful: once you start buying into "everything is a lie", you are free to pick whatever claim on TV is the most convenient, no matter how much evidence there is for the other side.
Lol, this is so true. A project that I had joined (late) some years ago had 98%! code coverage, full sonar/fortify code compliance and was an utter piece of garbage that had regular outages in production.

It taught me a couple of lessons:

1. Integration and System Tests are FAR more valuable than unit tests. By several orders of magnitude.

2. Performance Tests are vital. This is actually more true in a cloud world. There is only so much hardware you can throw at a problem before your costs are un-feasible.
They should probably be transparent about it in latter case though (which they aren’t always)

Not sure for every country. My understanding is that the practice is to take biometrics to check against the database on arrest, but adding to the database requires a conviction (at least I believe that's the way it works in France).
