DoS is different from DDoS. A DoS attack is any kind of attack in which the attacker seeks not to gain access to a system, but to simply deny others access. This can include sending large payloads, maintaining idle connections, causing crashes, logging out other users etc.

A DDoS is a particular kind of DoS attack - one in which the attack is conducted using a distributed set of machines, usually helping to (a) hide the attack from monitoring tools and (b) make it hard to block using IPs. Obviously this was not a DDoS, but could have looked like a plain DoS.

The definition of a DoS attack depends on the system being attacked, there is no hard and fast limit to how much traffic a system is supposed to handle. For a badly written system like the one described here, the actions of the scraper were indistinguishable from the point of view of the library from the actions of a malicious actor. Hopefully, since the intent was not malicious in this case, thing may have been cleared up - though of course it's also possible that, unfortunately, they haven't.
I think you’re past the point of picking a job for “me”. You have to pick a job for “us”, which could easily require a safer, less interesting yet more stable choice for you. Kids like stability. Your partner might not be easily able to move. You said you want to be an active participant in their lives. Pick something that is interesting or rewarding enough to do every day yet provides you time and energy for other people.

You can go through life as a singleton, doubleton or family unit. All have strengths and weaknesses and the available options differ for each.
I was looking for a note-taking application that is cross- platform, does not cost an arm and a leg, has sleek and minimal interface, with offline capabilities.

After checking all the options, I ended up opting for UpNote.

STRONGLY recommended!
> maybe I should delete the HN listing.

Yes please. :)
The American Bradley stores rounds in a separate armored compartment behind the loader. If the compartment gets hit and the rounds cook off, the blast is redirected out the top of the tank away from the crew compartment which makes the vehicle much more survivable.
The implication was that screenshots require tinkering although I can see why that wasn't clear.
Unlike in Russia, there is no singular "media" in the west.

There are "western medias", plural, and you have the luxury of choosing your bias.

There are plenty of idiots in the west who will sell you re-furbished Russian propaganda, if that's what you want.

(Is CNN stupid? Yes, it is, it's the same crap hysterical entertainment-news it has always been, mostly laughable to non-Americans and Americans alike. But there's plenty to choose from if you don't like that)
If done cleverly, it will be indistinguishable from normal use, so it is technologically infeasible as well, to try and prevent it entirely.
I think people vastly underestimate the importance of infantry support. A single soldier with an ATGM can take out a tank, but a single soldier with a gun can take out that single soldier and their ATGM.

It's easy to forget that reality isn't a third-person shooter. When you're sitting in a steel box with an engine in the back and a cannon on the top, situational awareness will inevitably suffer to some degree, and no amount of cameras will completely offset that.
>What would make me stop buying homes?

Are you saying you don't know what to do with your money?
Yeah, plus in last week's thread, we learned that basically all of these CPG and domestic manufacturers (including some of these blue chip companies were the ones polluting these superfund sites!
> Like all cities in areas with heavy-handed zoning regulations, abuse of historic preservation clauses, and filibuster-style city council meetings blocking new construction...the issue is one of supply.

> It's the same problem in literally every developed country on earth right now.

The problem with making generalisations is that you're often wrong. The French real estate market has problems, with prices rising in some city cores ( mostly Paris), but it's not nearly as bad as many other places due to a myriad of factor and policies, like decent to good public transit ( which is undergoing massive upgrades) to nearby dense "suburbs", multiple programmes encouraging newbuilt homeownership and buy-to-let (at fixes prices) through lower taxes or cheaper loans. Paris is expensive, but you can get a much cheaper appartement or house within train distance. Of course, for newbuilt waiting lists are at ~2 years due to demand, but there's a lot of supply being built constantly, in Paris and around it - entire neighborhoods or former industrial areas are getting razed to the ground and rebuilt as decently dense (5-6 floor) appartement buildings. And that's just Paris, most other cities are better.

All that while there's very strict zoning, high building standards, lots of protections for tenants and buyers, including rent controls, hard rules around eviction and absolutely crazy preservation rules.

I know people who can't cut the dangerous trees in their yard because their yard is visible ( less than 1km) from the roof of a church which is a national monument, and they need approval from the Architects of France.
Have you genuinely been unable to identify any? They're manifest and generally well documented.

A nicely topical example, given we've just had Easter, would be around the time of the crucifixion -- was it at 9am on the morning of Passover, or midday the day after passover?

The gospels provide conflicting timelines - Mathew, Mark, & Luke say 9am on passover, John says the afternoon the day after passover. There are myriad other contradictions around the descriptions of the crucifixion mythology: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Contradictions_in_Jesus%27_cru...

This may be a useful jumping-off point for other inconsistencies:

Can you say what specifically? Many language-specific package managers match your description and are completely handled by Nix, but maybe you're talking about something else?
The problem is more with the trend and where it leads.
I (not an expert) checked him out for 10 minutes just now.. He wrote a book about bird hybrids, and seems to see hybrids everywhere. Check out his pages on all kinds of hybrids, which reads like a crank website. e.g. the very wacky page on cabbits (cat + rabbit)

https://www.macroevolution.net/mammalian-hybrids.html

https://www.macroevolution.net/cat-rabbit-hybrids.html

But his pig+chimp theory is serious, and it seems it makes some sense in explaining numerous pig-like anatomical features of humans, but there can be no genetic evidence, so only he believes it, it seems.
I'm not saying Docker doesn't work well. But whether you're using a slim OS in Docker or not, you're still choosing not to use your host OS, because your host OS is failing to provide equally stable, reliable and reproducible environment for your applications.
> Hopefully the smart layering strategy that Nixery uses will eventually make it into 'guix pack'!

I've been meaning to extract it into a more standalone tool that can output a layer distribution, that way it could also be used in things like Nix's `dockerTools.buildLayeredImage`. The main annoyance is that creating the popularity data inside of a build is not easily possible for the entirety of the package set. Still working on that one ...

I'm not sure how much Guix internals have diverged since they forked Nix, but if the dependency analysis of store paths can be done the same way then this should also be straightforward to port to Guix.
Haha don't tell me it can't fly in the cold or something.
Sorry for picking this particular project to air my gripes – it's no worse than others. But here's something that's been annoying me a lot with Rust projects (a language and ecosystem that I love): The software lists a very small set of dependencies, but then when you actually go and take a look in Cargo.toml, it actually has a shitton of dependencies. The fact that these are "magically handled" by Cargo does not make them non-dependencies! The culture of pretending that only non-Rust deps are deps is incredibly annoying and unproductive.

*Edit based on lots of replies:* Before writing a reply that starts out with assuming that my comment says anything negative about having dependencies, or having lots of them, please take a moment to consider what I'm actually saying. This post is not a critique of dependencies, nor a critique of lots of depdendencies. It's a critique of pretending that only some dependencies are dependencies.
I'm a bit surprised they hit the limit that early. I wonder what could improve this? Adaptive optics?
Both things can be true: the system probably was a disgrace, but also the scraper did, by definition, deny service - so it was a kind of accidental Denial of Service attack. Hopefully, given the intention and so on, in a good legal system this wouldn't be treated the same as a malicious DoS; but also the scraper shouldn't be used, as it denies service to other potential clients.
>> The Russian Army has shown that it is not competent in combined arms fire and maneuver.

Doctrine and training are paramount, together with command and control that's what enabled the early German successes in WW1. And in the case of France a ton of luck.

The article asks the right question: is the role of the tank still needed? A Javelin neutralizes a tank, under the right conditions, it doesn't replace it.
Are there any air superiority combat drones operational yet? I won't argue that it seems likely that manned dogfights are going to die eventually, but that moment also seems at least a decade away. Until then a F-35 with long range missiles seems to be one of the more lethal things in the air today, even if it is rather expensive. NATO has like 20x the defense budget compared to Russia though, so it's fine not to have the cheapest weapons available.
.22 is also the caliber of the vast majority of infantry weapons in the world.

In 22lr (the piddly little gun most kids learn to shoot on where I love) it’s enough for small game like a squirrel.

In 5.56x45 (NATO) or 5.45x39 (Russia) it’s suitable for larger game like humans or deer.
Well, or “inventive” or “futuristic” or “advanced”.

Not all media tropes are negative like I perceive “whacky” to be.
That's what most users of nixery.dev (i.e. the public instance) do, afaict. Ad-hoc images for CI, and for debugging purposes.
I'd say the chopsticks are not electronic but simply electrified.
F-35 would do exceptionally well in this conflict. It is designed for contested airspace.

I'm surprised people want to move to Canada at all given our low wages, high tax and terrible weather.
The same attitude was shown by humans towards other humans a thousand years ago. If they couldn't understand the language of another tribe, they considered that tribe inferior and called them names signifying that.

The ancient Greeks called non-Greek-speaking peoples "barbarians", suggesting they are uncivilised, primitive. To this day, the name of Germany in Polish means "those-who-cannot-speak".
Money > customer satisfaction. Wasn’t cable supposed to replace ads with a subscription fee? Then cable channels did this. Aren’t car makers are trying to make options a subscription service? There is a price point that makes the most $$ balancing customer gain vs. loss. But it’s based more on customer pain tolerance than joy.
Some of it is NIMBY. But the officials can’t change the fact that there is only so much land to go around and a disproportionate number of people strongly desire a detached house.

Building huge quantities of condos may help some with density and may drive prices down slightly but there is little that can be done to have new detached houses on the market.

You could potentially tear down some mansions in rich neighborhoods to build two or three houses and that might help slightly at the margins. There aren’t enough mansions in the city for this to really move the needle though.

The problem is a handful of cities are winners and everywhere else is losing. Toronto is the lifeblood of Canada and many people want to be here for opportunities that are unavailable elsewhere. A large population that grew up here doesn’t want to leave friends and family behind to start a more affordable life elsewhere. As long as we create a society where there are a handful of great places to live those places will be prohibitively expensive.

Being unable to create successful cities in Canada outside of Toronto and Vancouver has been the bigger political failing than NIMBY within those two cities. If Canada had five cities that were as successful as Toronto there would be more opportunity to go around and less pressure on Toronto. Disproportionate amount of both internal and external immigration is to the places with the best jobs and that drives up housing quickly.
Yeah, except you have to take into account that "valuable achievement", or let's frame it as a "game" that's played, is being played for a long time without the involvement of massive corporations that hoard houses.

But you might have pinpointed a couple of problems, so either:

- Those corporations are driving the costs of buying homes so high that regular people are being pushed out, because, you know... they are playing with funny money;

- People's income is so crushed, or they are so deprived of access to free/cheap money - like the corporations - that they aren't allowed to play this game.

Both scenarios make it look like the game is rigged.

Why can't people rent to other people like it was done in the past? Why aren't regular people being allowed to play this game? Or is it such a bad game to play that no one wants to play it, except those corporations?

Even if it was a bad game to play, they're still taking houses away from those who want to buy and not rent. So they're ruining two markets: the rent and the buyers market.

Again, I see no add value that couldn't be created by any other player other than big corp.

Else you'll be here in 20 years saying the same thing, with a minor diference: "these corporations are bringing SEVEN FIGURE housing access to FIVE FIGURE renters"
Interesting example of how “JEP 374” affects performance
My project took 2306 milliseconds to perform specific performance tests before JVM 15. But, JVM 15(or higher) took 24248 milliseconds.

I've heard that this issue is related to "JEP 374". (It's a matter of disabling biased locks. Corresponds to "ByteArrayInput/OuputStream" which I use some.)

So, I fixed it. Now it is more optimized.

It takes 1670 milliseconds.
I remember how I 'earned' my autographed copy... by asking 'so, how do you suppose we add interactivity to VRML? Binding with Java Applets? JavaScript?'

The world these days does look quite a bit different than it did in the 1990's... and yet some things aren't.
I don’t think politicians will really care about staying alive from an attack even if a few bystanders die from the countermeasures.
Yeah I guess I am not trying to provide a super in-depth explanation of how finance works here, since that's not the topic we're discussing.

I am not a financial expert, but I have been told by professionals, and read in credible publications, that financing entities are not thrilled about the idea that people can effectively 100% finance additional home purchases using HELOCs, rather than having a cash downpayment.

That's the point I was making. My apologies for drawing an incorrect conclusion on the unrelated details.
Makes you wonder if modern product practices and buzzwords (agile, ux, mvp, etc) is all nonsense

> I think Mastodon is even more dangerous than Twitter/FB in reinforcing filter bubbles.

Probably for most people this is a benefit. Not having strangers shove their firmly held beliefs down your throat is a net gain for one's mental sanity in my mind. However I feel like this problem shows itself only because the vast majority of people think of social media in terms of an all encompassing amorphous mass of discussion where all ideas are worthy and all topics are valid.

As someone that builds a service in the same space as Mastodon I am trying to steer away from this behaviour. My project addresses itself to small to medium communities that are focusing their discussions on common interests and topics, and allow for moderators and system operators to police this with the help of individual members. The members on the other hand, can take part in any other community as long as they play by their rules, through the mechanism of ActivityPub federation. Think of it as subreddits but enforced on a service level but having the capability to intercommunicate both at a server to server level and on a client to server level.
I haven't read much about how these systems work yet, so this is probably a novice question, but I'd be interested to hear more about how the algorithm handles text input and feeds it into the generator. Does the training process include a ton of tagged images or something, and then the model learns to be able to generate stuff that corresponds reasonably to those tags?
Majority of Announced IPv6 Address Space Now Secured
I imagine this could be worked around by using forked encoders that are designed to introduce the watermark when encoding lossy versions.

This of course would mean the watermark would not survive transcoding from lossless, but as we can see in TFA the watermark can be made useless all the same without such efforts.

With that said the oxygen malpractitioners that run the music industry have never put actual consumers' satisfaction above implementing trivially circumvented security theater, so pirates win all the same in all scenarios.
They'll just restructure it so each house (or small group of houses) is held by smaller corporations or other entities. In fact even smallish landlords already do that now but I think it's because credit gets cheaper that way rather than for taxes.
Don't underestimate the average users ability to do something they think is cool.
In the Abrams shells are stored in a separate armoured compartment and are individually fed to the loader as needed. The loader might have a shell fed and in hand ready to reload the gun, so that's one shell in the compartment at the ready over the one loaded in the gun at any given time. There just isn't space for more shells lying around.
I thought they fixed that already--software tweak for a sensor.
Corbyn didn't support an anti-Semitic mural, if that's what "managing to avoid" means: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/mar/23/corbyn-crit...

The book was presumably "Imperialism: A Study" - not wholly about Jews, and Corbyn describes the accusation as "mischievous representation".

These are weak examples, basically a degrees-of-separation argument coupled with your own opinion of what is black-and-white anti-Semitic without informed discussion (or even examples since you only provide suggestive anecdotes, not sources). Feel free to demonstrate your "99.9..%" numbers for politicians that are under the same amount of scrutiny.

None of these articles seem to mention WHY the tanks are designed this way (although I admit I just searched for keywords).

As far as I know, it is because the current gen of Russian tanks were designed for how they envisioned WW3 40 years ago [1]. Basically the tanks would follow nuclear strikes, and making humans load the ammunition would make them die a lot quicker from radiation, so they made an autoloader.

If you're paying for a streaming service, then yes. If you want to pay to download the songs, then do that. Most artists have avenues where you can do so. You seem to think that if users are paying for a streaming service that explicitly disallows making copies, those users should still be entitled to make copies.
It's both supply and demand. You need construction and limited immigration. That's why for example Tokyo is so cheap.
Try Win+Shift+S for instant click/drag screenshot to clipboard. I haven't opened the snip tool GUI since I found out. It also has GUI buttons for window/freeform/fullscreen if you ever need that.
I forget how pedantic HN can be.. You're the third comment to latch onto that one phrase in my overall comment, and it's not even that relevant to the topic being discussed.

My fault, I really should have phrased that differently.
Click baity title. The article itself explains its origins.
>the crux of the argument was to prove that making your engine wasn't as complicated as people are making it out to be.

the question posed is fine, the framing seems (potentially uninentionally) inflammatory, for a topic that is basically the gamedev equivalent of emacs vs vim. I feel like Casey should know better at this point, but maybe this was an honest blind spot. Or maybe he was intentionally invoking Cunningham (which seems unnecessary given his presence. But hey, it's effective)

>and show how long it takes me to make a 2D game engine in that same amount of time just by following HMH, but also with the ability to use existing libraries. I bet it'll be less than a week

depends on what we define as "game". I've done a fair number of game jam games in 2-3 days with a variety of technologies, from tiny 2d game frameworks to Unity. I could make something "playable" in a few days. I'm sure in a week with my experience that I could roll together something neat to show off to friends.

But I wouldn't consider any of those projects close to "shippable". And being a game dev I can talk your ear off for hours about the difference between "playable", "shippable"[0] , and "competent"[1], and the steps/polish needed for each.

To spare you that huge lecture, I'll just mention that gamedev, once you go past the "solo indie project" scale, is a multi-disciplinary collaboration between (but not limited to) programming, art, sound design, and writing. on any project past this solo indie project scale, you'll need tools to accommodate the non-technical folk, and those tools take time to develop and maintain. You can either play double duty as gameplay and tools programmer, have a dedicated tools maintaininer/go-between for the artists (because it always becomes a full-time gig), or make use of already made tools that already have these considerations in mind. In that latter case, an engine is invaluable.

[0] i.e. 99.9999% of games you'll find on steam are basically the benchmark of "shippable"... but how many of those in a random sample would you actually play for more than 5 minutes?

[1] you know, an actually good game that you'd pay money for, in an age where at least a bunch of mobile crap is free to screw around with for 5 minutes. If you're trying to make any revenue whatsoever, that's the bar being set.
> You don't get the usecase

Another possibility is that they get the use-case and consider it worthless. As we have seen repeatedly in this space, popularity seems to have no correlation with technical viability, so this "$2 trillion can't be wrong" argument lacks solidity.
