This forum kinda reminds me of HackForums[1], but the owner of that forum co-operates with law enforcement and makes good money while staying above board on things. At one point, he even directed members interested in certain blackhat activities (carding, mainly) to a site that later ended up to be an FBI setup.

I’ve been using BBEdit more and more these days. Used a lot of TextMate, Sublime Text, VS Code, Emacs… but BBEdit seems to work everywhere and it starts up fast.

I’d also say that it’s one of the editors that suffers from the fewest misfires—in Emacs I’ll accidentally trigger some weird command by screwing up a sequence of shortcuts, or in TextMate I’ll accidentally expand some weird macro by holding the shift key down too long, and in various editors, I’ll fight against autocompletion that is sometimes too aggressive. BBEdit, for whatever reason, just gets out of the way and lets me write text.
That’s the point of insurance. If your house burns down and you incur huge expenses. Insurance kicks in.
At Christmas I ran an experiment to convert all my blog images to webp. It worked well and my savings were around 50%. I haven't made the leap to make the move for the simple reason that webp isn't considered a "native" format in the main. I lose things like image previews when I'm navigating around my file system. That kind of thing. I think I'm also made slightly nervous by seeing so few others seeming to use it. Still might make the leap but haven't yet

What company / product is using OpenAI?
It is and at one point the owner even redirected people interested in more illegal things to a site that ended up being an FBI sting lol.

The fixed rate is 0.00% -- it's all inflation rate. Inflation rate is adjusted every six months.

Here are past fixed rates going back to 1998: https://www.treasurydirect.gov/indiv/research/indepth/ibonds... It hasn't been much above 0% since 2008.
Does no one use the Nintendo cartridge solution anymore?
I was just thinking the other day, how can I ingest more microplastics quicker?
This is one of the things I enjoy as an EV owner. I don't need to worry about low-lifes stealing parts from my car.

I do worry about the time when the same people figure out that a regular-ass Type 2 charging cable is up to $300 and completely untraceable if stolen. A "granny-charger" can be up to $1k for the really fancy models. And most EV's have at least one of those onboard at all times.
This is security theater like TSA. The Texas GQP party has lost its collective minds now because they see their unconstitutional actions will be upheld without any resistance by the radical right (5 members at least) Supreme court that we currently have. Expect it to get much worse before it gets better.
I think most teams delete the live data from the database then wait for the backups to expire after N days.
The problem is worse than that. Platforms like Netflix have removed user reviews. Even Imdb removes ratings when it doesn't please their friends. There is less and less ways to find out what other people like you think about the produced content anymore.

This is of course easily solved by removing movie is watching as a thing, which has already been happening for a long time.
> Complexity : When interviewing candidates the most common answer to "any pitfalls to Spring?" is that it has a steep learning curve. Whether or not that's true is another discussion for another day,

This article was from 2014, and not about CVE-2022-22965 (Spring4Shell) nor CVE-2010-1622. However, the "Complexity" point makes me think about SerDes (Serializer/Deserializer) libraries.

Are there any data binding libraries (deserialization, marshaling, pickling libraries) that do not have the class of weaknesses as the two CVEs (CWEs)? If there are any for Java, can they be used with Spring Boot (Spring Framework)? Maybe there are some for in another programming language?
Well, technically `float -> float` is still the identity function, but your point stands for `Float -> Float`.
We discussed that yesterday among my friends but nobody could come up with a good use case.

Let’s say Art. What makes art valuable in a sense is that artists have an opportunity cost of doing that art. It’s a sacrifice of something else in their life.
AI art gets inflated instantly. Everyone can get a beautiful painting in a button click. Not valuable.

Can someone come up with a use case for this?
Ya know what, that’s all a totally fair criticism. I edited my comment to soften the tone quite a bit and make it less matter of fact but the edit window ran out. I wrote a very Tumblresque comment when HN usually requires more sensitivity; didn’t really write to my audience.
Putting markdown text into SQLite with FTS5 works amazingly well for search. How come they couldn't just bolt that in?
I'm continually amused that this has become such a common expression. The first time I remember hearing something similar was in Infinite Jest where one character was the P.G.O.A.T (Prettiest Girl Of All Time).
The power company where I live installs more ducts than they need when they dig a trench. So they'll install say 10 ducts in the trench when they only need one or two. They rent out the extras to telecoms.

Predictably enough,

>Russian President Vladimir Putin has said his country had "no other choice" but to invade Ukraine and that what he has called a "special military operation" was aimed at saving people in the Donbas region.

Just as others would claim that the west had "no other choice" but to prohibit trade. From my side your response reads as side-stepping this direct comparison. Perhaps one could even go as afar as denying the free-will of human actors by concluding that the sanctions were inevitable, just like the war was inevitable.

Another area where I would differ with your perception of fundamentals would be the personification of the state. States, in my view are incapable of trading. It is individual human actors who create trade. National anthems, lines on a map or flags simply cannot load up the trucks. As to the origin of rights, because humans create states, their rights clearly do not come from those states.
It’s not at all obvious that they’ve made any great acquisitions
The fraud is the streaming companies like Spotify, Amazon pushing music revenue towards non-existent artists by playing only this fake artists music and thereby pocketing the streaming revenue themselves.

It's basically a case of anti-competitive platform hijacked by the platform owner.

Am I reading correctly that this is all cryptocurrencies, not just PoW? That's slightly surprising, although it probably simplifies things.

> No, because I doubt very much that it was "a lack of oversight". He pretty much must have had support for what he was doing. There's a difference between not noticing something occasionally weird and mass sterilization.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/nov/21/congress-ice...:

> At least 43 women at Irwin county detention center (ICDC), in Georgia, have now alleged misconduct by Amin. He is accused of operating on migrant women without their consent or performing procedures that were medically unnecessary and potentially endangered their ability to have children.

https://www.ajc.com/news/congressmen-georgia-doctor-should-n...:

> Ogburn, who has worked as a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist for nearly three decades and who has led organizations that develop patient care standards, said Amin did a variety of tests and surgeries for patients that “did them little or no good, and potentially caused harm.”

> “In summary the care provided by Dr. Amin did not meet acceptable standards based on the review of these records,” Ogburn wrote as part of his complaint. “My concern is that he was not competent and simply did the same evaluation and treatment on most patients because that is what he knew how to do, and/or he did tests and treatments that generated a significant amount of reimbursement without benefitting most patients.”

1. Less than 43 women is not "mass sterilization." It's well within the scope of damage could be expected from one incompetent doctor.

2. It's quite believable to me that the jail officials never questioned the medical activities of the doctor (let alone understood what he was doing was malpractice) and just ignored complaints they received from the detainees. For comparison, this outrageously incompetent guy (https://www.propublica.org/article/dr-death-christopher-dunt...) managed to avoid oversight for two years while he was maiming and killing people.
The context here is definitely "do this if you feel like it". This is a list of suggestions posted under the "Equality, Diversity & Inclusion" header. Mandatory policies just aren't posted in that section of a university's website. Most of the concrete actions are specifically noted by the section header as "Suggestions & Resources".
I have a 2004 Discovery 3 which was specced in the highest possible trim at the time, I've been driving it off road for nearly 2 decades now and it's still absolutely fine. The only feature on it which is actually broken is the driver seat heating. Everything else, including the armrest fridge, works fine. 210k miles, no major repairs with the engine(4.4L V8 petrol). I had to get the chassis rustproofed few years back and the air suspension compressor replaced twice, but that's about it when it comes to "big" repairs.

My point is - I'd absolutely buy another highly specced, full of tech vehicle for offroading. Disco 3s were meant to be "catastrophic" in terms of electrical problems but I didn't really have many issues with mine. The only catastrophic thing about it is the insane fuel consumption(my long term average is 15L/100km, which actually at the current fuel prices is financially ruinous)

This will not even slow cartels in the least. Fentanyl (the main reason for these searches) is extremely potent and just as easily snuck into the country with cars as with large trucks (probably easier). This security theater by Abbott, as a Texas of about 20 years I know this type of politician. He is playing to the hard right Trumpist republicans of the state. They love all the racist policies that the Texas GOP can cook up, it has become a common theme to really glom onto fear of “the other” politics here.

Ever seen how old iron and steel pipes look inside parts of the world? You are not going to pull cable through those deposits nicely... Or even be allowed to risk it...
I mentioned Canada and France. Could also list other countries like Austria and Netherlands that had similar issues. Hell, even Brazil, who had been improving economically and especially for its poorest people consistently since the 90s, and was taken over by a far right government that rose through social media, exactly the way Haidt describes.

My point is that what we are witnessing here is better explained by the sudden access to social media rather than socioeconomic deterioration. By the way, we agree that the working class in the US (and UK) have also experienced a relative decline in the past decades.
Astounding to me that simply by the misfortune of being born in the US, they will imprison someone for speaking and teaching (protected expression) in a country they don't like.
You know that’s already the case to a large extent right? All(?) the social media photo apps have a filter on them even those saying “no filter” because people prefer them than seeing their quirky faults.
This describes most of the music industry.

> resulting in large programs with lots of boilerplate

That was what I was trying to say when I said "the code required to implement the challenges is large enough that they are considered too inconvenient to use". This makes sense to me.

Thank you for this benchmark! I'll probably switch to spyql now from jq.

> So, orjson is part of the reason why a python-based tool outperforms tools written in C, Go, etc and deserves credit.

Yes, I definitely think this is worth mentioning upfront in the future, since, IIUC, orison's core uses Rust (the serde library, specifically). The initial title gave me the impression that a pure-Python json parsing-and-querying solution was the fastest out there.

A parallel I think is helpful to think about is saying something like "the fastest BERT implementation is written Python[0]". While the linked implementation is written in Python, it offloads the performance critical parts to C/C++ through TensorFlow.

I'm not sure how such claims advance our understanding of the tradeoffs of programming languages. I initially thought that I was going to change my mind about my impression that "python is not a good tool to implement fast parsing/querying", but now I haven't, so I do think the title is a bit misleading.

Yeah, it’s large file performance is unparalleled. As well as the way it does search and replace. As I said, it’s not my primary editor, but if I need to handle a large file, it’s where I start and end.
> I've definitely heard of "goat" as a noun meaning that, but "webp is such a goated format" sounds more to me like the writer thinks people try to laud it as the goat when it actually isn't.

Funnily enough the article kind of does that, doesn't it.

WebP is a decade older than "state of the art" for this, and that difference costs a significant number of bytes.

>This vulnerability affects users working on multi-user machines where a malicious actor could create a .git directory in a shared location above a victim’s current working directory

If a malicious actor has access to the filesystem, isn't it a bigger problem? I remember Raymond Chen recounted in his blog that Microsoft usually dismisses vulnerability reports that start with "to use the exploit, you must have access to the machine". As he likes to say, "the gates are already open". If you already have access to the machine and can create files outside of your home directory, what stops you from causing even greater havoc?
God I miss Ebert. It's not that I agreed with him always. It's that I knew where he stood, and I found his writing entertaining. As my familiarity of him grew over the years (decades!), I could accurately guess whether or not I would like a movie based on his review, whether he liked it or not. He's been hard to replace for me.
> People buy it expecting a curated playlist of music they want to hear, and instead what they get is a curated playlist of music that sounds similar to what they want to hear.

Streaming services betray their users expectations in many ways. For instance, Spotify has playlists that are called "This is [artist]" for many artists, and you could reasonably believe they were human made, or at least partially human made (unless Spotify served you up one for a very obscure artist, but they rarely do).

But they aren't even looked at by a human. If you have several artists with the same name, it all gets mixed up in the "This is X" playlist. "This is Glenn Jones" contains music both by the guitarist Glenn Jones, the soul singer Glenn Jones, and the Australian country singer Glenn Jones.
I don’t know about Wikipedia, but many none for profit organization have strict guidelines about investment.they usually can either spend the money on operation, capex, or if they have to keep some reserve they need to use very safe investment like government bonds.

Saying that most likely Wikipedia has to convert the bitcoin to cash before the end of the year. They cannot keep crypto as reserve or investment
Critics can most certainly put themselves in the position of relating to common folks, and that was a big part of what Siskel and Ebert both did.

Just cause someone might not know my specific tastes isn't a reason that everyone should have to be recommended videos that most people will predictably not enjoy.

That's like saying since there's no way I'd know what music you might like, then you should listen to King Crimson since it's highly respected in prog Rock circles. Yes, sure, and most people would hate it.
Milli Vanilli, Boney M. just to name two. This isn't a modern phenomenon.

It might not have been so easy to pull it off. Or maybe it was. It was the time before people played or sang live on TV. So there was less risk then in the years were live performance in a TV studio became somewhat of the norm.

And for generated music to be profitable it probably "just" needs to have a lot of songs one would not skip when they are part of some automatic play lists or "radio stations" playing stuff similar to x or y.

This way while any one song would only have few streams the overall oeuvre of the creator could be quite profitable. The same as with any auto-generated product targeting the long tail in Amazon (think T-shirts with quotes).
But what if Wikpedia donor pool also is made up mostly of those who do not wish to use cryptos to donate?

Having worked in "extreme terrain" conditions for much of my adult life, and now work my own farm, I completely disagree. You don't want to be spending significant portions of your day in a "stripped bare" platform. Maybe thats ok for a couple of hours rock crawling twice a month (not that I would call that extreme terrain!), but not for any actual utility.
But what about the rest of the world? Brazil was growing economically and lowering poverty in that decade, and still saw a far right wing government emerge through social media. France opposed the wars, didn't bailout anyone, and now there's almost a 50% chance they will vote for an extremist. I also grew up with this fact-based way of analyzing politics, but we ought to start thinking of it as a less rational and more emotional phenomenon if we want to stop it. Most of these movements, like Qanon or whatever, are completely delusional, like a cult. Whether the US had made good or bad decisions 15 years before it is irrelevant.
For tech giants optimizing for transit, the complexity and engineering costs of improvements are easily paid for by even small savings, and because it's just transit, you can support multiple formats simultaneously. And everything you do is ephemeral: You could have a new codec every day and not ruin any archivist's day with long term support requirements (excepts the ones they try to shake off anyway).

TLDR: for Youtube, transit bw is expensive and rapidly evolving codec cornucopia is cheap enough to cover with the bw savings.

Vanadium and Brave are only available on Android.

Vanadium doesn't really have any privacy features that people normally think of (anti-fp, adblocking etc), it's a series of security related patches https://github.com/GrapheneOS/Vanadium/tree/12.1/patches

Bromite does have some features like this https://github.com/bromite/bromite, but we've found in experience the adblocker, is not as comprehensive as uBO, particularly in harder blocking modes https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-medium...

That said for Android Firefox doesn't have the same process isolation like we see from chromium browsers.

I still wouldn't bother with Brave on mobile when you've got Bromite though.
No we don't but probably 55% of the state is behind this. There has been pretty much a 10% gap between D's and R's here for decades, but that's enough for them to control 100% of the state government. That plus the recent (4 years of Trump) increase in Trumpist idiocracy style of government has driven the current state government into a frenzy of racist, misogynistic, and homophobic legislation because they know that current far right SCOTUS will back them up.
There just isn't the incentive to use cryptocurrency to donate to Wikipedia. For some other kinds of payments, such as gambling payments, cryptocurrency is a popular option.
Seems like whatever editor someone might use, they /also/ use BBEdit. Like it rises above editor wars.
