Your audio collection, which obviously has millions of artists so you can literally listen to anything in the world as soon as you feel like it, with zero seconds of waiting time, and also you can get recommendations of new things to listen to, yeah

I'm tired of people who pretend they don't understand the advantages of a solution. Spotify has revolutionized the way I listen to music and discover new stuff. And I used to have a decent lossless collection I listened to on a FLAC supporting Cowon player. But it's so much better now.

Let's imagine if Australian Aborigines were in fact extinct and we found fossils, DNA, bones, etc. Would science have considered them a separate species?

It's an interesting thought, although it's not very meaningful to take further due to a variety of reasons.
Absolutely wonderful case study in UX design.

One of the reasons I love GUIs, is that you have a lot of room to show context, and you don't have to worry about scripting.

If the user says delete, but the file is something you expect nobody would want to, you're free to special case that and do an extra prompt, because it's a GUI, not something scriptable that has to have a predictable API.

You also have the opportunity to enforce a specific workflow of navigation and action.

In the CLI a very common error is to type the wrong path. In a GUI it's much harder to do this because you have to navigate step by step, and you cannot do the action until you are on a screen where you can see the thing you are acting on.

Rather than warn about the number of stars destroyed(A good idea, it just sounds like something that the designers might be reluctant to do), I wonder how the whole processn of wrong navigation could have been stopped.

Did they not see that the repo was different? There's 2 opportunities, one in the list of repos, and one in the repo itself before clicking settings.

Special repos could be more clearly marked as special? Settings links placed at the bottom of pages, requiring you to look past all the needed context first?

I also wonder if they directly typed a URL rather than going through the whole navigation process.
I've used a variety of Mac laptops, from the 1.25Ghz PowerBook G4, to a later model Intel based PowerBook. In each instance, I found the OS experience to be clunky, and equivalent programs that were available for Windows hard to find. The former point has probably since changed, as it seems everyone has a Mac laptop for work and study. I also found that the machines slowed down after a few years of usage, with no discernible reason. Hardware wise the laptops always felt well built.

Fast forward to 2015, the first gen Surface Book feels similar. The build quality surpassed the PowerBooks I was used to, Windows was pretty decent for getting things done. I've used it for 7 years now without any problems, although I know that when the battery comes to the end of its life, a replacement will be difficult to arrange. The whole thing feels proprietary which means I haven't bothered to install Linux on here, but I don't require it in daily life/work. The OS still feels fast, and it's easy to troubleshoot what could potentially slow it down with Windows.

That's true, but NATO is just one aspect of its member states. And while it's correct to assume that it is in the best interest of NATO for this war to last long and deplete Russia's resources, it is just one of many factors to consider. Most importantly, each day means more deaths of innocent people, so this is something you'd want to avoid under normal circumstances.

In any case, it's not like anybody has much choice. Ukrainians have to fight to defend their country, the West has to support them, and Russia can't just back down. I just wish Zelenski let those males who want to leave go. It's inhuman to keep them there.

The companies mining iron, and those that convert the raw iron into specialist equipment are not the same. So why do we expect companies that capture satellite imagery to create solutions on top of it?
> also i think that plenty of russians see this war as defending against nato advancements

Those Russians viewing the war on state TV from the comfort of their homes can see it like that, but the starving conscripts driving through Ukraine in an iron coffin who have to actually walk the walk, will beg to differ, that the current situation is not worth dying for.
qq: Any good tutorials to get up to speed with NixOS with 64-bit Raspberry Pi Zero 2 please?

I have a plan to thinker with some off-grid IoT this year, good moment to try something new, like Nix, than continue with Ansible which unfortunately gets out of hand with very long lasting installations - no implicit cleanup of removed resources and lack of build reproducibility (apt-get update issue really).
The title image reminds me too much of Clockwork Orange to watch the full video - and I realize this is a proof of concept, but in hacker news nit picking style wouldn't the need for a feeder induction coil next to the eye mean you might as well wear glasses and have the LEDs mounted there?

You could probably put some of those 4.5mm inductive LEDs under your eyelid and the induction loop in a hat band?
I think you misunderstood parent. There is a natural order on the tree of life starting in the first living organism (the root node) and ending in organisms that are still around (the leaf nodes).

With 'last' parent meant 'last with respect to that order', not necessarily in the sense of 'older' and 'newer' (which correlates with this order, as you pointed out).
> that doesn't amount to a subsidy

It's really the same thing as in the flat rate case. It's a bit less unfair since the cost rises linearly, but it's not enough to leave small consumers unaffected. People who consume small amounts of a utility still pay more because of people who consume a lot.
Just because we don't, or can't understand the way those patterns manifest does not imply that they are meaningful.

> 40% is still a thing in my group, but it’s rare that water gets added, that’s only done with higher strengths.

That's kind of my point too, I failed to express it well enough. The paper author asserts that 40% whiskies are diluted by enthusiast, and that statement can be challenged in multiple ways! Either by not going for 40% whiskies, or by going for them and not diluting them.
I don't know anything about the car's sound system, but aptX is a pretty common Bluetooth audio codec for music and these days it can run up to 420kbit/s with the adaptive codec, or 576kbit/s with HD, 24 bit at 44.1-96kHZ, so it's not unreasonable to think you could hear the difference between high and low quality audio sources with that (since even high quality compressed audio tends to be less than 420kbit/s)

Love this! I think I just got pounced by a fellow HN reader because we were both using the same strategy.

I think a leaderboard - or at least a record of your wins/losses would be cool. The extra click to confirm a move isn't off-putting for me, but I think that double-clicking/tapping on a square should be enough to move. The UI for using the powerups is a bit confusing too. And, being picky, "This let's you move..." should be "This lets you move..." in the instructions.

These are all minor points, though, and I've bookmarked the game because I think it's a fantastic concept and really enjoy playing it.
Could you please point out where exactly in this 69 minute podcast do they talk about NSO knowing who exactly is being targeted at any given moment, and what proof is there to back these claims? Could you perhaps quote the transcript?

This is a 69 minutes podcast episode, I'm not in a position to listen to all of it and try and pick out the relevant details. A lot of links are provided, but again - which of those are relevant here? Skimmed through some of them, and they don't even touch on this specific issue at-all?

As I've mentioned before, I'm not challenging your assertions - I'm looking for credible proof that NSO can tell, at any given moment, which specific people are being targeted by the clients/governments to which NSO is licensing its' software.

I don't think the Made-in-China Tesla's ever suffered the build quality issues the Fremont built cars did. There have been minor issues.

I think the "low price point" EV is a myth in the short term. I don't think there is enough materials to make the volume required at that price point. This seems to be why Tesla put a hold on their $25k model - which they now seem to be making a "dedicated robotaxi" and betting on solving self-driving.

Every time I hear news like this, I remember this local news in Japan [0].

An old bureaucratic company developed a system for a local library.
It was very slow, so a user started scraping it and developed his own library system.
A few weeks later, he was arrested.

The system was so shit that it became unusable by only hundreds of requests per hour.
The local government filed a claim, and the officer arrested him for the "dangerous cyber attack."

I don't think you really want a world where the security services can overrule the elected government, rather than the other way round.

However, I'm not one to defend either MI5 or Johnson here. MI5 routinely surveil anyone to the left of the Tory party as being some kind of dissident. The Johnson government is notorious for ignoring any kind of rules, restraint, or best practice. If they had something to say about it, they should have done so in public like the rest of us, once privately recommending had failed.

They even tried it back in the day and with the modern surveillance we probably would not have heard from him at all. Just the right bribe to deflect the issues and it will never become a large issue in the first place.

It doesn't even have to be malicious, there are people working in these agencies that are trained to follow orders. They believe intrinsically that what they do is necessary for security. No appeal will ever work, just a tight corset of regulation or protections by law that have actual teeth with heavy sanctions against misconduct. Today some agencies just blatantly disregard the most fundamental laws. If you scrap those you don't even need terrorists anymore, you did it all to yourself.
The problem is that freedom respecting hardware pretty much doesn't exist if you are buying the latest generation of hardware from popular vendors. Even if you are willing to go outside of x86, even the latest generation of OpenPOWER requires blobs.
Agreed. A few years back I lost my entire collection, due to a hardware malfunction and a slightly careless backup policy. But even though it was full of potentially great music I had never heard yet, I tended to stick with the familiar.

Since I'm on Spotify, the amount of new music I'm discovering is almost overwhelming. It's hard to keep up with my check playlist, I keep finding interesting new artists through song radio. It's also excellent for finding music in languages I do not speak or can even read. Trying to Google in Cyrillic was a pita.
What loss in quality? Unlike some if its competitors (Tidal HiFi, Deezer Premium, etc), Spotify streams in mp3 quality and they get recorded as such.

There are some leaks indicating that Spotify is working on a higher quality plan, but it hasn't happened yet.
yeah, I too was stymied by its UI, but the need to traverse multi-platform trumped my need for ease of use.

Photos only go back 150 years, and were very rare.

In terms of adult human size, no way. There are little dogs, smaller than domestic cats, and dogs as big as an adult human male. EG, almost 200lbs, 5 to 6 feet on hind legs.

Have you seen many human adults, smaller than a baby?
> The author says he spoke with at least 30 natives there who may have seen them. A very small population of secretive homininins would fit that bill.

Lets do a thought experiment. If I went to CT and talked to 100 dudes in various bars, do you think I could get 30 of them to say they had seen bigfoot in their area?

Authors and journalists citing stuff like "30 natives" makes me uncomfortable.

In August 1895 Connecticut, a journalist with an imagination and a predilection for hoaxes named Lou Stone invented a story about a "wild man" who appeared to Town Selectman Riley Smith. The story spread like fire, appearing in newspapers all over the country and further igniting the imagination of the locals, who reported their own sightings of the Wild Man.
Residents attempted to explain the Wild Man, claiming it was actually not an unknown beast, but perhaps a gorilla, or an escaped mental patient. In many sightings, villagers swore to have seen details. Mrs. Culver describes a "savage face, almost brute in expression."
Eventually, the reporter admitted the truth: he just wanted to sell papers. And indeed he sold papers, and tourism, and put Winsted, Connecticut on the map.
> The unregulated nature of Usenet and spam/malware arguably killed it, not a NY politician.

But it did lead to a lot of major ISPs dropping their usenet service around the same time. That killed a lot of existing newsgroups because most, if not all, the regular posters stopped participating. That's what happened to the newsgroups I used to frequent by the late 2000s.

> ISPs generally didn't carry a lot of newsgroups anyway, and the best service was always from dedicated Usenet providers

On the 3 or so ISPs I used when posting to usenet, they pretty much carried the vast majority of groups under the big 8 hierarchy. But what you say was definitely true for binary groups, where retention and completion were far more important metrics in terms of level of service and usability.

> Does anyone still use [usenet] for discussion?

I've heard that several of the groups under the comp hierarchy are still relatively active.
those long periods of isolation and limited novel stimuli that were presumably common in pre modern times probably had a similar effect as the various mild hallucinations you experience during a long meditation session. Also, I don't have a source for this due to Google's fuzzy keyword matching and my efforts limited to about 90 sec but IIRC even Nietzsche had pondered if miracles were previously more common due to dietary deficiencies causing hallucinations.

I do agree though that it is interesting and even with a simple materialist explaination, the fact that people would see similar diminutive mythical people across cultures is fascinating. Hawaiians had menehune, etc etc. I tend to think of that in the Joseph Campbell collective unconscious sort of way.
My thinking is that if you have a rock headed your way at say 10% of lightspeed or so, pretty much anything you can do to it past a certain point is mostly just going to change what form of matter smacks into your planet.

Maybe my mental model for how that works is wrong, but I'm just picturing a dust/rubble cloud at 10% of c irradiating the planet with xrays or something due to whatever extreme friction interaction happens in the atmosphere.

> the idea of Israel being a Jewish state

That was only very recently codified and was very controversial inside and outside of israel.

> They use it in very specific circumstances

I'm sorry but that's just incorrect, it's been used much more broadly.

for example according to Noam Chomsky:

"Actually, the locus classicus, the best formulation of this, was by an ambassador to the United Nations, Abba Eban, Israel's ambassador to the United Nations.... He advised the American Jewish community that they had two tasks to perform. One task was to show that criticism of the policy, what he called anti-Zionism—that means actually criticisms of the policy of the state of Israel—were anti-Semitism. That's the first task. Second task, if the criticism was made by Jews, their task was to show that it's neurotic self-hatred, needs psychiatric treatment. Then he gave two examples of the latter category. One was I. F. Stone. The other was me. So, we have to be treated for our psychiatric disorders, and non-Jews have to be condemned for anti-Semitism, if they're critical of the state of Israel. That's understandable why Israeli propaganda would take this position. I don’t particularly blame Abba Eban for doing what ambassadors are sometimes supposed to do. But we ought to understand that there is no sensible charge. No sensible charge. There's nothing to respond to. It's not a form of anti-Semitism. It's simply criticism of the criminal actions of a state, period"

> The George Floyd story, maybe the story of the decade

Pandemic with millions of dead, war in Ukraine, huge scale corruption ( Pandora papers), COP26, an attempted coup in a supposedly liberal democracy to name just a few things from this decade, and a racially motivated murder by a policeman in the US is your pick for "the story of the decade" 2 years in? Sorry to burst your bubble but the vast majority of the planet doesn't care that much (beyond initial compassion) about racial problems in the US.

This war shows that we can't make trade wit Russia as it is unable to exist peacefully with other countries. Complete isolation (preferable demilitarization but that is not possible until they have nukes) and just wait until it falls down again.
Would be extremely useful to get an explanation of what 3M means is the "Z-axis" of the tape. Along the tape plane? Across the tape plane? Through the tape plane?

I can see uses for all, but how you'd apply it would certainly differ if depending on which one is Z....
What's happening in Mariupol is scary, but it is far less scary than what practically everyone thought Russia was capable of. They've failed to take a city 30 miles from their border. That's insane. People were expecting what is happening in Mariupol to be happening to Kiev or Lviv. It's like if in WW2 Germany had invaded Belgium but got stuck at the first city it came across. It's just an incredibly small accomplishment for what is meant to be a strong military power.

The reason why I'm aware of this is that Oracle databases use libaio for some reads and most of the writes on Linux, including transaction log writes. There are plenty of cases where you don't exhaust the block device I/O queues - io_submit() finishes quickly without blocking, but then the I/O issuing process wants to wait for the asynchronously submitted I/O completion, before moving on. It will use io_getevents() with the "timeout > 0" argument, so it will sleep (in S mode), waiting for I/O completion. If it had submitted a synchronous I/O, it would have increased Linux load, but if configured to use libaio, it won't.

So, the I/O component of Linux system load and PSI do not include the async I/O waiting threads that decide to synchronoysly wait for asynchronously submitted I/O requests :-)

I see MySQL is using libaio in some places too (the io_submit/io_getevents show up in syscalls), but I haven't looked deeper into whether the getevents are "willing to wait" or not. But any application using libaio, that at some point uses io_getevents() in "willing to wait" mode, would be affected by this discrepancy.
Wow, yeah, that’s pretty awful. Glad I’m living in the modern world where that kind of ruling would be considered an abomination.
