It's very new, like, a month or so old, but I'm seeing quite a few people experimenting with it already in the Clojure community. Roam Research (https://roamresearch.com/) has their mobile apps built with it.
> Why is this happening?

The author does not really explain the why, but gives a solution in that paragraph. I think the major reason why "overlay package managers" exist is simple: Time.

With current speed in design iterations, CI/CD, etc. time is the important factor. And as such a separate review process takes up that time (and binds considerable amounts of manpower).

But I agree: These package managers ran into a problem when they traded security for speed.
This is equivalent to a newspaper forbidding you from clipping out the articles, or a car manufacturer forbidding you from looking under the hood.

It's preposterous that we allow any kind of legitimacy to 'contracts' such as these, that seek to at once control us and keep us ignorant in relation to items and services that fill our homes.

But instead of explicitly forbidding such clauses, we're actually writing them into law with anti-circumvention and reverse-engineering (i.e. examining how stuff works) restrictions. It's obscene.
> we should be afraid of them?

If all the war crimes, targeting of infrastructure, civilians, hospitals, forced deportation, looting, torture, setting up of artificial breakaway states hasn't so far convinced you then I'm afraid nothing ever will.
Glad you asked. Nazis ideology was based on strong genetic/biological definition of race. It was all about who your grand-parents were. It believed in struggle for survival for races and whole pyramid of races. Aryans on top (not whites), Jews as main enemies/bottom and dangerous, Slavic people low on hierarchy but not dangerous. It also believed Germans need more "living space" as Germany is too small. The place to colonize was East.

They also believed in "survival of fittest" and competition. That influenced the way they build institutions and how they treated sick etc. They liked to have two institutions with same goal and have them compete. Russia is different in all three points. It does not care much about own disabled, but they are not seen as threat the way Germans seen disabled. Russian parents with sick kid dont have to be afraid to go to see doctor for example.

> He's just using Ukrainians instead of Jewish folks seems more like an implementation detail. Even hating them is completely optional.

Both ideologies are very very different in how they treat subjects, actually. For instance, Ukrainians became subject of genocide after they refused Russia domination - Jews had no such option. Russians claim Ukrainians are Russia by blood and deserve punishment for considering themselves apart. Meanwhile, many many German Jews considered themselves Germans. That is underappreciated point - but a lot of them were German patriots, veterans of WWI, married ethnical Germans and were atheists.

Edited to add: Russia is also significantly less totalitarian them Germany was back then. It is autocracy/dictatorship, but it is not nearly as oppressive internally as Nazi Germany was. Timing is different too, its move toward complete lock of press happened only after invasion of Ukraine - contrast with German who did that long before military moves.
Bullshit. Both Sweden and Finland have "NATO-compatible" militaries and took part in many NATO exercises over the years.
The saddest “just ship it” story (2020)
I can easily turn your argument exactly in the opposite direction:

Since there's always huge conservatism in relation to rewriting or making in-house frameworks then there's a confirmation bias in these stories: "whew, we dodged a bullet by not even trying thing X".

Yeah, everyone could have said that.

I've attended and participated in at least 7 successful rewrites. You don't hear about them though because people read HN and are like "I am not willing to engage with biased people so let's keep it to ourselves".

That's an aspect of these conversations that a lot of people around here don't account for: the people who get stuff done are quiet. This should be included in analyses but often isn't.

---

...And finally, millions of code in a monolith isn't that scary. Find a part that has minimal dependencies to everything else, rewrite it, put a reverse proxy in front of your service that points a particular endpoint to the new code, test for a bit, done. Rinse and repeat. The process itself is trivial, not especially creative, and mostly just laborious than anything else.
See, the Russell conjugation is that it demands gerrymandering, to keep Democrat strongholds blue. I'm really only speaking to the 10% of you who can think about this stuff without feeling those delicious squirts of tribal belonging, not the 90% of people who ignored what I said so they could yawp.
That’s actually better because you have a virtual key bed. I’ve heard that Apple will release Logic for iOS later this year.
And without it you get occasional massive runs on banks since they don't have actual full backing. Moreover the government will bail banks out if needed providing another but non-guaranteed layer of protection.

Maybe a better way to say it would have been that banks are safer because they're backed by the government including FDIC, bailouts, regulations, oversight, etc.
During the Finnish Civil war, which ultimately ended in Finish independence, the White Finnish forces ended the Russian presence in Finland and Soviet (yes, Soviet) soldiers who fought on the side of the Finnish Red Guard left the country.

If you insist on nit-picking years, I only supplied the years of the start of the conflicts. You can go as far to include every border conflict, but that's completely besides the point. The forces that supported the Red Guard during the 1917-1918 war were all part of the Soviet forces in any case.

> the Russian Soviet Republic was founded in 1917 and only gained power due to the civil war.

They lost Finland and any influence on the country, which gained independence during that time, seeing that as "only gaining power" is a weird and twisted view on history.
Somebody told me that the official international standard prefers comma; a period is just a permitted alternative. Of course, comma as decimal separator isn't very compatible with programming languages.

However, the decimal separator that I was taught at primary school and have used in handwriting all my life is neither comma, nor period, but '·'.
Solarpunk: Notes Toward a Manifesto (2014)
You said:

>Yes, I do believe that NATO is a war-crime committing, human-rights abusing entity that is bringing much death and destruction and turmoil to the world for the sake of special interests - political and commercial - who stand to gain billions in profit from every single NATO base built.

>But, I've been paying attention to NATO's war crimes over the last two decades, as well as the immensely evil crimes against humanity committed by the Wests' 5-eyes nations in their disgusting wars. Why haven't you?

So no you did not answer the question.

Now I have a question for you, how did NATO force Russia to invade Ukraine, considering it is somehow part of their plan of "continued crimes against humanity in its lust to demolish Russia".

Second question, do you think what Russia is doing in Ukraine are crimes against humanity? If not why?

Many people get more attention from diffchecker than New Twitter TOS
Don't beat yourself up, interviewing is hard, for all parties - usually.
> not work around any technical limitations ... reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the software

If I understand correctly, Twitter users and whoever else who agrees with these ToS surrenders their right to explore how Twitter software works, reverse engineer it, etc. ... "except and only to the extent that applicable law expressly permits".

While all the other people who are not in any contractual relationship with Twitter are free to do all these things.

It is interesting to see that people who use services like Twitter actually have _less_ rights in some areas than other people who are not using these services.

Also, I would be curious about what this change means to services like nitter.net which offer a custom web interface for Twitter service. Would they be forced to do their reverse engineering without a Twitter account?
I don't think having fire detectors or a strange and esoteric control panel is what most people would call surveillance.
That would be in line with Musk/Tesla's whimsical protectiveness of Tesla software. I expect more free speech on Twitter but draconian lockdowns of the IP/API's, push for real names and ramped up data mining of the human cattle.
Not with tether directly but I think bitfinex lets you convert usdt to usd and withdraw to a bank account (until it doesn't)
Are you using parenting metaphorically in #10?
Argentina has a pretty strong black market of USD, capital controls there didn't stop people from hoarding dollars as a stable currency.
In the end, not sure it really matters how Russia sees the situation to be honest or what Russia thinks is relevant to them now[added]. If Russia wants to go nuclear over this, then so be it - they will go nuclear over something else if not this one if they are so willing to act on perceived threats not realized ones.
EDIT: I cannot stop Russia from doing what it wants to do but like in the cold war I am not stopping living my life, either.

Also not sure it is always about "least violent solution", was WWII the least violent solution or what would have been the least violent one and how could it have been reached?
The Baltics are very vulnerable and with Finland nearby they can easily be supported.

Looking at Russias performance against Ukraine Finland and Sweden alone would easily hold them off. Nato won’t need to spend much resources to protect Finland.

Ukraines terrain is as easy as as it gets for Russia. Finland is full of lakes, forests and mountains. Logistics is 100 times harder.
Damn, I could not test Dokku on my M1 ARM processor, as it's x86 only.
Five eyes does not include EU: it's almost every western nation except eu!
(1) Tether is probably skimming a few percentages off of top trying to charge people for the run.

(2) It might not and this is the beginning of the end. And I am so glad it is finally here. I am so sick of crypto.
No, the ionic CEO yesimahunan often comment on HN and give generally neutral statements.

I am sick of people ignorance in GUI rendering engines and the religious myths they build over native, so I actively comment too because online GUI conversations are still on a middle age like era. If I wzs tied to Ionic I would try to please people, which I don't.
In fact Ionic communication has often self victimized itself by corroborating the native rendering myth in lany of their blogs.
The internet and HN indeed is a small place and seeing the Ionic CEO and one of the only person with expertise in 2D GUI renderers (me) on thr flutter 3.0 announcement is actually, not unlikely. But it surprises because on average on the internet, people don't care to push depth/accuracy into discussions.

BTW I am capable of pointing flaws in Ionic, the documentation on the web is often not up to date, and inn general I would much prefer a Kotlin based GUI framework (such as jetpack compose) over a JS framework (ionic).
I am in fact the only person on HN to have an actual argument to defend a true Ionic competitor, based either on fastuidraw, piet-gpu or gecko but there's no point in discussing this given no one could contribute to the discussion.
This looks good, but it casts doubt on whether you RTFA. :-) (Sorry, but it does.)

The very 2nd paragraph says:

«
The ancient Romans didn't use subtractive shorthand notation (e.g. IV or CM), but allowed four repetitions of a numeral (e.g. IIII or DCCCC). Calculations will be easier if you do the same. You can wait for the final answer before normalizing
back into modern form.
»

If you incorporate that factoid, then would you not be able to significantly simplify your calculation method?
If NATO was directly part of the conflict, Turkey as a NATO member would be expected to be 100% on NATO's side, not "balancing" its allies against their enemy. If it was still trying to "balance" in that situation, it would either stop real fast or else end up expelled from NATO. In an actual shooting Russia-vs-NATO war, nobody would care about the legal niceties over whether NATO members can be expelled – the other members would just agree to do it, and the lawyers can debate the legality of it when the war is over.
Doesn't mean anything, just someone filling in the hours, it'd be faster and more effective to build from scratch, anyone who could reverse Twitter already knows how to make a better clone. The bigger a company gets the more they hire people who work on pretend problems like this.
> The idea is: Unsafe does not mean "I expect this is wrong but I want to do it anyway" rather "I am sure this is right but the compiler doesn't understand why" and the justification explains to other humans, maintainers, reviewers, and your future self, why you believe it's right.

I'd add one more aspect to it in addition to yours: "get back to this in the future and see if we can make it not use `unstable`". It's a very good marker in the code and I hope Rust doesn't move to implicitness.
They are probably trying to stop people from blocking adverts or in my case removing the annoying popup that wants you to login when you use a vpn.
> There are people "in crypto" who believe the FDIC will make good any losses on their investments

Do you have a source for this? I'm heavily involved "in crypto", and have not seen any indications of beliefs like this.
So I am guessing the days of using front-ends like Nitter are limited?

I thought Musk would lean more towards an open platform and maybe would even support ActivityPub for Twitter (I can get pretty optimistic lol) but I guess that's not going to happen.
I've attended and participated in rewrites that were catastrophic.
To each his own experience.

I do trust that Shopify know what they're doing, we're gonna agree to disagree here.
The problem is that you can't convince the faithful that it's going to happen in their lifetime.
> the upside can be had by holding dollars

Unless your bank kicks you out by some reason (incompetent compliance).
Unless foreign bank refuses your transaction because the bank doesn’t like the color of your passport.
Unless somehow banking system wants to cut extra from your transaction (2.5-4% for transaction) because of double currency conversion you didn’t ask for, because you didn’t specify correct correspondent bank and your bank didn’t tell you about that.

All that happened.
Italian and German fascism lasted relatively short period of time. Generation that "invented" it had a chance to change their mind.

Russian fascism runs for multiple generations. Russia never was democratic. Russian mentality is to have an aggressive leader ("бьёт - значит любит").

Navalny is perceived as an alternative to Putin, but he supported Crimean annexation and Georgian war. There is no evidence the remedies that worked for Nazi Germany will work for Russia.
According to that meta-analysis, none of the studies included were properly blinded.

What do you think the financial standing is of a company that since 2015 has taken bitcoins and given people tokens valued at the current btc/usd price?

They are essentially taking shorts on bitcoin over the last 7 years.
That distinction is pretty moot, as no applying country has ever been rejected by NATO.
Romania and Bulgaria only have access to the Black Sea. My understanding is that if a Romanian warship goes to a military exercise in the Mediterranean, then it won't be allowed to return, just like Russian ships can't.
crypto noob over here, i'm a bit confused with all the noise i'm seeing, if someone could explain.

I'm hearing that Tether is still honouring $1 withdrawals, over a certain amount i think $100k.

What's stopping me from buying 100K in tether at 98c, for $98k and then redeem it from Tether at $100k, making $2k with zero risk?

Surely i can't do that because that would autocorrect the price back to $1 ?
What exactly is the point of stablecoins that are pegged to the USD? Why wouldn't I just accomplish the same function with an actual USD?
In my experience (Fintech), status pages aren't actually hooked up to monitoring systems, they are updated manually.

But yeah it sucks that they haven't noticed and updated it.
This story is particularly relevant because it's about the Bank of England trying to maintain a peg in the face of changing market conditions. Many have treated Tether's peg (to the USD) as immutable or inviolate but it's subject to the same market forces as any other peg. A peg is only as strong as how much money you have to defend it.

But here we are as Crypto Andys are learning the hard way why the financial system is the way it is.
Maybe by opening the app itself, a window would show up with the detail? But I understand that would be quite a lot of rewriting.
Discrediting valid criticism because you don't feel consistency? Hmmm, I'm gonna call that right out.
By "him" I suppose you mean the head of BoE, because nobody other than BoE themselves did this.
I certainly would deem city like zoning for rural areas to be a nightmare scenario. And that is just one of the MANY MANY policies that would make problems.
This is misleading. Let's look at the actual charts of nearby measuring stations.

https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_station.... 3.36mm/year, flat since the 1950s.

https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_station....
5.37mm/year, very new station, but still looks flat.

https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_station....
4.78mm/year, flat since the 1970s.

https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_station.... Further away station, 4.74mm/year, flat since the 1920s.

https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_station....
Further away station, 2.61mm/year, flat since the 1930s.

Climate alarmism about rising seas is battered into our heads every single day without fail, but when we go to check the data, what we see is very slow rates of rise, and totally flat charts going back as far as the 1850s. Where is the acceleration? Where is the upward curvature in the charts? Where is all that glacier meltwater going?

Please, stop helping to fan the flames of irrational fear.

I was just looking at the process to try to keep running a phone with security updates after the manufacturer has stopped supporting it..

First you break a bunch of trusted boot security features possibly using random binaries.

Then you install lineageOS or similar.

Then you hope that your new kernel does not go backwards on security patches by being a snapshot of a vendor kernel that someone may or may not be trying to keep up to date.

Correct, as I said, it isn't fair, merely objective.

It isn't possible to get fair by drawing lines around people which are smaller than the actual sovereign boundary under discussion. You can hand that power to the government, an 'independent commission' (the government with extra steps), or an algorithm run by the government, those are your options. All outcomes will fail fairness, this has been extensively studied.
> What is Putin's play?

He's been very clear: before the second Ukraine invasion he criticised Lenin for allowing the SSRs to exist and for accepting the loss of Imperial Russia by e.g. accepting Finnish independence. His ambition is to restore Russia to (at least) its pre World War I borders, which would involve the obliteration of nations such as Ukraine and Finland.

Up until now he has zero push back on the butcheries in Chechnya, little pushback on previous atrocities in Ukraine or Syria or shooting down civilian airliners, and he no doubt expected the same this time around.
National versus state law is irrelevant here because there has never been federal law. There has never been sufficient support in the federal legislature to codify Roe as federal legislation.[1] Roe has therefore never been anything more than the Supreme Court’s interpretation of “dusty old documents.”

Phrases like “live by the sword, die by the sword” and “you can’t have your cake and eat it too” come to mind. You can’t, as OP did, call the Constitution “dusty old documents” that shouldn’t bind the nation on one hand, and in the same breath complain that the Supreme Court refused to rely on that “dusty old document” to overrule a law that the elected legislature of Mississippi chose to enact against a backdrop where the national legislature has never said anything different. There being no contrary federal law, that “dusty old document” is the only reason anyone has ever cared what nine lawyers think about abortion.

[1] There still isn’t—only 30% of Americans support Roe’s 22-24 week viability limit, and there is strong public support for restrictions that Roe prohibits: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/where-americans-stand-o.... Roe thus differs from even those other cases, like Griswold, that have become uncontroversial due to changes in public opinion.
Germany has been metric forever but has the comma as a decimal separator, and the dot as a thousands group separator. It’s deeply engrained in our typography, it has typographical idioms such as ,— (comma em-dash), up to the point that even brands have adopted it in their brand name.

I’m afraid we can’t really change that on a whim. Why would we, anyway?
risk exposure to that not being honored and tether crashing.
Because Russia could easily start a conventional war and there is no way NATO would escalate that to nuclear without Russia using nuclear weapons first.
> Is possible that Julia will replace R for a lot of use cases

R is a interactive statistical programming language that acts as a frontend for more performance languages. AFAIK interactivity is not the strongest points of Julia at the moment.
See the "Conventions for lossless conversion to TSV" on the current version of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tab-separated_values . There are really only 3 chars to escape - the escape char, and 2 delimiters - to make everything easy to deal with (even binary data in fields - what "lossless" means here).
I don't disagree but I'm still not sure how that relates to my comment or the one I replied to.
Woops, I am indeed, thanks for the correction
I think you're wrong. An algorithm which will produce the same results every time you feed a set of numbers into it is objective.

I don't respect your attempt to make objective mean something it doesn't.
IIRC, Churchill did try assemble to a force during the Winter war, but there simply wasn't anyway of getting enough men with winter combat experience.
Arguably, if it's optimistic, it isn't "punk." That "low-life" alienation and rage against the system is what makes it punk - the "cyber" part is just aesthetic.

Anticapitalism isn't punk in a world where the anticapitalists win.
Is there evidence that it's currently not being honored?
Compounding with this is that when you move money to exchange you have some USD there. But then to actually trade either you receive some stable coin or have to first trade for one...

Probably applies only to some, but still a real insane thing...
You absolutely can do this (I just signed up for an account). That said, it isn't 0 risk (nothing is) - they could technically fail to redeem, and then you'd lose your money.

If you think they will redeem, this is indeed a good trade.
The most amazing part is that he's quite young!
