I don't get this either. I picked up a cheap Samsung Galaxy laptop with Manjaro a while ago to replace my broken mac book pro until I can get that replaced (getting the new 14" pro for work).

The Samsung is fine but the screen is very mediocre in comparison. The same dreadful 1080p screen as world + dog insists on these days. Gnome makes it more cramped by insisting on a top bar thingy. I'd love to have a much higher resolution and brighter screen. 16:9 is just way to claustrophobic. And why do window managers insist on this silly top bar these days? That just eats into already limited space. Currently using Gnome and of course the one extension for that that fixes that (auto hide the damn thing), promptly broke when I updated Gnome.

Writing this on my good old imac 5K; the original one from 2014. Now that's a nice screen. My 2017 15" macbook pro had the infamously shitty keyboard, which actually ended breaking the very nice retina screen by virtue of a loose key that inserted itself in between the keyboard and the screen when I closed it. So something that should not be falling apart actually fell apart and did maximum damage. Absolutely disgraceful. I'm glad they ditched that design.

The Samsung at a quarter of the price manages a nice keyboard (with numeric keys even), a passable touchpad (multi touch but mechanical click sadly) and even a nice aluminium cover. If it weren't for the screen, I'd call it a superior deal. About as fast, same amount of ssd/memory, and it runs a lot cooler (i5 with xe graphics). Also, no thermal throttling because it just does not overheat. But at this price, I'm not complaining. This laptop with a better screen would be an awesome deal. Somebody needs to start doing this. 16:10, 4K would be what I'd spend money on.
Well it's China. In the context of their system I think most Chinese would consider it to be a good law. It takes power away from private companies and extends the Chinese governments power to "ensure stability". That latter half most Westerners would probably find unsavory but it's just how China operates.

Who do you expect to confirm it? Ukraine? They did it. Russia? They will never ever admit it. The US? They might not have technical means for that despite lots of flying surveillance assets in that area.
Planes have plenty of ways you can deliberately turn off systems and kill everyone on board. And they require less work that having to retype a whole text into a confirmation box.

You missed that besides fixing UX, we also train pilots to think about their actions, talk to copilots about their actions, take responsibility for their actions and most importantly, not to press buttons on "autopilot".

That's a completely different situation and defending learned stupidity of just clicking ok to everything.

Each of these can be installed via 'brew install'.

Classic Strawman Argument. Sad to see this on HN. I never claimed they were academics. Just that doing this in academics would get you banned.

Yes you can. You need to use Configurator to do it. It has been confirmed by iFixit. It’s the same as the Mac Pro was: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210626 . You can’t just swap a disk. You have to actually re-pair it with the crypto and then reprovision it and recovery etc.

Tangetial question: Seen all the recent supply chain attacks, is there a way to defend FOSS projects with something like project defined capabilities for every third party dependency? So eg. you could include a math lib and mask everything regarding filesystem or network, etc? Especially for rust i would like to see a holisitic solution to this growing thread, facing the accelerating trend of central repositories.
I have no idea. Before the war, cars from the USA were delivered by sea in shipping containers to Odessa. Now, Odessa in blocked by Russians, so cargo must be shipped to EU first, and then transported to Ukraine via Poland. There are some Ukrainian firms, which are providing logistic. I can also ask my mentor from Britain to help with delivery. I put my email into profile details, if you have a truck for me, because I badly need a truck. I'm OK with the truck from Chornobyl, because we are living close to Chornobyl anyway, but we cannot repair it because of lack of parts and because the main quarters were left due to risk of missile strike. We are all in the fields now.
Not to argue the case, but they surely had ample opportunity to be briefed by persons who were very qualified-- and if they failed to get those briefings they were failing in their duty.
Two main reasons for European increase in military spending (in no particular order):

1. The latest Russian invasion was a wake-up call. Much bigger than in 2014, when Russia invaded Crimea and East Ukraine. Especially Germany and France have been attempting to reach a lasting peaceful relationship with Russia through trade and agreements. Any hope anybody in Europe might have had of that has evaporated now.

2. Fear that the US will not be there to defend Europe in the future (Trump threatened to leave NATO - and might be re-elected). One of the (fair) reasons behing Trump's threats were European NATO countried not paying their fair share (2% of GDP in 2014 agreement).
> "Who cares if that tank's engine is stolen. After all, we have nukes!"

But what are the odds those nukes even work? From what I understand, they're complex devices that require expert maintenance. What are the odds they've been properly maintained over the disastrous past 3 decades?

It's not something I'd ever want to bet on, because even if only 10% of their nukes work, that's still plenty to do tons of damage with, but considering the sorry state of their military, I'd be quite surprised if all of their nukes still worked perfectly.

There's another comment that points out that reddit screws up search engines results in order to get more front page hits.

Just how long will it need to be pointed out that platforms are evil, and anti-Web, and you should be shunned for using them ?

(I had some hope for reddit myself - that it would not fall to the same issues somehow, but that hope is long gone now...)
50 people sounds like a crazy amount for a team. The amount of management required for coordination and communication must be crazy.
You can't comment or even view some subreddits without verifying your email, though. But creating an email address takes 5 minutes at most.
In aviation, a pilot who would ignore so many warning elements of UI (red button, dialog, retyping things) on "autopilot" would have their license revoked and possibly criminal charges pressed.
I think from UX perspective it is unbelievably more convenient as well. Plain popup warnings with "press Ok if you mean it" are bad enough, but quite recently the new even worse "type delete, if you want to delete, then press Ok" popup has been spreading about... If I want to delete over a couple of things I get incredibly irked.

How does cargo prevent reproducible builds?
Historically, Russian units improve markedly after being banged around a bit. They don't go in for realistic training, don't have a good career NCO corps, and don't exercise their equipment much. Currently, Russian conscripts only serve one year, so they don't get enough training to know what they are doing. But after a few battles, the losers have been killed off and the units shake down into some level of competence.

The USSR lost 20 million people in WWII. Their historical level of acceptable losses is high.
That was possible before with Google and even Reddit's own search.

And nutters will manually scroll through your history anyway to find something to shit on, it's not like it's private.

It's not that Nuclear can't handle variable loads, it's that once you have the plant running the fuel cost is negligible. So unless the price of electricity goes negative it doesn't make much sense to reduce the output.
Ukraine may not have more Neptun missiles. They were accepted into military use just weeks before the war started. Only 1 launching unit has been produced, and only a few missiles could be assembled from parts because the manufacturing facility was destroyed by Russia's cruise missiles in the first days of the war.

The scarcity may explain why Ukraine waited for 50 days to hit the cruiser. It was an "all or nothing" moment.

Also, there were reports that Ukrainian navy used 1 Neptun missile to hit a smaller ship, frigate "Essen", with less success.
You're making a confusion between replacing and upgrading.

He showed you CAN replace the SSD modules but only with identic size ones, but you CAN'T upgrade to bigger ones as that triggers the firmware lock.

Parent comment states:

> It is privately owned, but it acts as a public square. For the same reasons that we defend the right to Free Speech at the public level, we should push the platforms that act as public squares to guarantee Free Speech.

I disagree.

Free speech means that no government has the right to tell content publishers - in this instance Twitter - what to and what not to publish, modulo the standard legal exclusions of child abuse material and incitement. (This viewpoint changes if we're discussing a common-carrier or a natural monopoly, where universal service obligations are necessary).

On the Internet, it's the Internet itself which is the public square. The content publishers like Twitter are merely commercial operators of 'printing presses' which make their material available to information consumers/citizens within that public square.

Content publishers should have every right to censor/reject/moderate any content submitted to them. If the content submitter doesn't like this, then they too can spin up their own content publishing platform on the Internet and publish what they desire.
They can hire bankers to try and find an investor who is 'management friendly'. Although, honestly, I can't see why any investor would really respect them given TWTR's performance.
The number of deaths from a nuclear incident will be significant in Germany in any case, either as a result of evacuation or from radiation.
The economic damage overall will be much higher than in any incident of the past, due to environmental impact, destroyed or de-valued property, disrupted businesses etc. Half of German GDP will be the lowest estimate.
This isn't enough to win. Ukrainian Ground Forces were 200k at the beginning of this war, for comparison. And Ukraine have been conducting mobilization since the war started, so it's larger by a lot now and will grow with each day of war.
It's sad, but few people these days put in the minimal effort to set up a forum. Or sign up for one.

Reddit is the easiest free way, but you pay the price in the end, and it's very high.

Youtube API's change frequently, but rarely in backwards incompatible ways.

After all, youtube runs on millions of client devices which can't or won't update the client application. Eg. Android devices with google play broken or logged out. Forcing those users to update in many cases will lose a user. A 5+ year old phone's copy of youtube still runs and plays videos.

Now the API's that the website uses... those can be updated with nearly zero notice...
From the product's perspective speaking in aggregate, that is entirely correct.

From an individual user's perspective, you still need own your shit and avoid making these mistakes. You can't rely on everything you use having smart safeguards.

There will always be dumb/careless users that a product should consider. There will always be suboptimal UI (we could've just as easily been talking about CLI database tools) that a user should watch out for

There is enough Uranium in the Earth's crust to power the whole planet for about 92 million years.

- 65e15 kg = Uranium in Earth's crust
- 709000 MJ/kg = energy density of natural U²
- 500e12 MJ = 500 million TJ annual global energy usage
- 92e6 = 65e15 × 709e3 / 500e12

It's actually very common and it's only a small cost component anyway. Including all processing, it accounts for less than one cent per kWh.

I hope distributed is not the new default
The default behavior of cargo is to download stuff from the internet. This may be the least reproducible thing ever.

I'm honestly astonished that programmers of a language that is deemed to be "safe by default" thought that this behavior was acceptable in any form, not to say the default. If downloading things at build time is somehow necessary, it should be an obscure option behind a flag with a scary name, like --extremely-unsafe-i-know-what-i-am-doing, that prompted the user with a small turing test every time that it is run. Cargo is just bonkers, it doesn't matter at all if it is "convenient" or not. Convenience before basic safety and reproducibility is contrary to the spirit of the language itself.

It's as if bounds checking in the language was deferred to a third party that you need to "trust" in order to believe that you won't have segmentation faults.

Similarly, instead of doing "a few hundred stepis" to get to the call insn that jumps to a garbage address, you can let execution run to the crash point and the reverse stepi once. The "reverse" functionality parts of rr are one of its strongest features and well worth the time investment to get acquainted with them.

(I bet my own debugging workflows and habits are stuffed full of this kind of "works but is definitely not optimal" move, though, so I don't mean this as a criticism of the article.)
OMG, here comes a bunch of bloat into the kernel. I like rust (well, the idea and principle) but when you are doing low level stuff, something as trivial as a structure to bind an address then manipulate those bits by writing to them (enabling and disabling features) it becomes a no go. If you even consider how exhaustive it is to manage OBMR at this level of code, it becomes counter productive, not to mention unreadable. Now for the bloat part, take a simple code (one of their examples) which is a showcase of their capabilities and “zero cost” abstraction for something like embedded, their blinky app is like 100KB versus a initialize the clock/ set GPIO to read mode, and write to it that come out shy of 4K in C++ with all the hall form STM for example. Object lifetime analysis is really cool at compile time, but any un defines behavior is still present when you compile the code… Show me someone doing a baremetal implementation of blinky (that is, no HAL) on rust or a struct for bit banging and I’ll be a believer that you can do “some” of the stuff needed for kernel development but not all.
For other repro curious readers, this seems like a good entry point to follow reproducibility efforts: https://github.com/rust-secure-code/wg/issues/28
You can use heat pumps to heat water... in fact, it's a very good form of energy storage for off-grid homes in cold climates: You put in a 100 gallon water tank, use a heat pump water heater to bring it up to 150deg F when the sun is shining. You use fail safe mixing valves to provide hot water for the taps/showers (which greatly increases the effective size of the hot tank), and the hot water can be used more directly for heating.

Retrofits can be hard though, since the water loop may be designed for a rather high temp... though there are some heatpumps that get to rather high temps.

It is true that present battery production rates are too low, but the solution to that is simply to increase demand.

At that point, the lies and indoctrination become effortless.
"Unfortunately, the method that works for EU countries doesn't work for Russia"

In general the method works, there were(are) deep economic ties growing between germany and russia for example to mutual benefit. And those sectors are devastated because of the war and were really not in favour of it.

But Russia is a bit bigger than slovakia for example, so some economic ties were apparently not enough.

Also, most of the russia population received an decrease in living standard after the soviet union fell, so democracy was off with a bad start. When your individual life is shit, it is a comfort knowing you are at least part of something great. The RUS empire. Only, that in reality it is just a brutal, rusty moloch, which more people are hopefully seeing now. And yes, it is tragic. We now have war and even if there will be peace eventually, a new iron curtain with mines will once again divide europe.
This is not really a poorly performing military. This is a terribly incompetent plan proudly made by only 5 people.

How does that work? If you take a loan from a "decentralised lender" you can essentially walk away with the money and never pay the loan back. So, "decentralised lending" can't work, as far as I can tell.
