Surprising? No. Under that same expectations untracked .gitignores wouldn't work either and we know that's not the case. But there are things that are both obvious once you know about them, but might not otherwise cross your mind. So this is definitely useful and informative.
There's a misunderstanding: "ignoring" means "not tracking as part of version control". But the author overloads the term "ignore" with "not look at it as a .gitignore configuration file".
Your answer is in deep conspiracy territory. The reality is in my opinion more banal: money.

Microsoft and particularly Apple used to make cutting edge (at the time) TTS available as a marketing gimmick, but then did not develop this further because TTS was only relevant for screen readers and people with impaired vision weren't really their primary customers. Then TTS made advances and companies started selling high quality voices at high price points. Now companies want to make as much money with it as they can. Improving "free" TTS for ordinary customers is not really a top priority of Microsoft and Apple. Moreover, since network speeds have increased, any improved end-consumer TTS will send the text to a server and the audio back, so that a company can collect and analyze all the texts and make money with this spy data. That's how Google's free TTS server works.
Even devices that use Reverse Osmosis usually don't aim to catch all contaminants in the filter - they use a membrane/filter to separate the clean water output from a waste water stream that contains the contaminants/salts in higher concentration. This device effectively tries to replace the filter/membrane with an electrical current:

From https://news.mit.edu/2022/portable-desalination-drinking-wat...:

> their unit relies on a technique called ion concentration polarization (ICP), which was pioneered by Han’s group more than 10 years ago. Rather than filtering water, the ICP process applies an electrical field to membranes placed above and below a channel of water. The membranes repel positively or negatively charged particles — including salt molecules, bacteria, and viruses — as they flow past. The charged particles are funneled into a second stream of water that is eventually discharged.
If a problem has a solution - it will be solved. If it has no solution - why to worry then?
I also (mis)used .gitignore before I realised that there was an easy way to ignore stuff that I have locally without having to commit/ignore a .gitignore file.

Not sure where you are going with this :), it seems you imply that a bare bone EPUB reader is way more useful than a PDF one.

Which I completely believe, PDF support on readers is always an issue (there is even a discussion on it in this thread).

Then it support the position that if they added support for PDF but not a basic EPUB then this choice was not made for technical reason.
Disclaimer: not a cryptographer. I’d love to hear what a professional has to say on the topic.

From what I’m reading in this article the main complaint is twofold:

1. No out of band key exchange
2. Old(ish) ciphers

I am not sure what an out of band key exchange gets you over OOB verification of a key exchange. If an attacker is MITMing you and you discover it using signal safety numbers, you probably stop using signal to communicate. If someone is MITMing you with this and you add some PSK, what happens? I assume the system just doesn’t work and messages can’t be sent. I guess that’s a bit better but isn’t a huge improvement.

As far as the older ciphers thing goes, I’m surprised signal is using an older cipher suite, but I’m not sure it really matters for their symmetric encryption. The double ratchet protocol uses a unique per-message key, so I’m not sure what risk AES-CBC+SHA2 presents over something like AES-GCM (which is not an ideal first choice AEAD construction either these days when things like OCB and DEOXYS-II exist and no longer have IP issues). I’d rather AES-CBC+SHA2 and not have cryptographic agility (which seems to be what is being proposed here) and a more fixed format than the shiniest possible algos and a cipher suite negotiation phase (which has caused so many issues before in other protocols).
I've seen reruns of that some three years ago. The new generation knows about the show, and shitty cars being made more shitty is timeless.
> They can buy virtual USD, but can only physically withdraw up to $10k per year.

This applies to withdrawing cash from bank accounts. AFAIK there is no limit on exchanging RUB cash into USD/EUR.

> And if they receive USD, they are required by law to deposit 80% of it within three days.

This applies to companies doing exports, not to private citizens. (Although admittedly citizens don't have many ways of getting dollars.)

Additionally git supports a global git ignore.

$ git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore

Then you can put all the standard things you want to ignore into it:

$ cat ~/.gitignore
.DS_Store
./drafts/
*.swp

And it will apply to all git commands on your computer.

This is a recipe for disaster. Especially if somebody else commits a gitignore in your repository.

I don't think there's much methane in the exhaust at all. Carbon monoxide, yes, hydrogen, yes, but the methane should disappear at the temperature of the gas in the thrust chamber, even if it's not fully oxidized.
This is quite a silly and short sighted take. The electrical grid is not a stock market and it should not ever be.

There is a seriously complex system in place right now to try to balance the generation of energy vs the load. Throwing personal discharging into the grid into the question will cause serious ramifications.
After years of lurking, I wrote a post over on /r/android on this... in 2019. By then the small phone minority had been loud and vocal for some years already.

Based on the responses and trends observed since then, I don't think this is ever going to happen.

Tech savvy users for tech savvy products are gone. It is now a consumerism and popularity driven market, small phones simply don't have the bling factor to sell.

Even if this was not the case, logically, if you have only one mobile computing device, you would be better of getting a big one so you that you can do more with it. Read more e-mail, watch more content, play more games, take better pictures (bigger phones tend to have more space for more options).

And for us die hard small phone folks, well, all of us need a phone, right? And since all of our phones stop getting updates after a few years (iPhone notwithstanding), we will complain loudly about the lack of small phones... and then buy a big phone anyway.

The best we can hope for is for manufacturers to make a loss leading mini line. Like Sony, Samsung, and Google used to do.

Now that they do not, I own an iPhone 13 mini, and I hope to use it with battery replacements for at least 4 years.

I put my money where my mouth is for the longest time. My phone history: iPhone 3G, iPhone 4, Sony Z1 compact, Sony Z3 Compact, Sony Z5 Compact, Sony XZ1 Compact (good golly gosh what a fantastic phone that was), Pixel 3, iPhone 13 Mini. But our market is too small.

RIP small phones.

I would really avoid such jokes, belter.

To call a human - and within HN you do find very refined ones - a machine (and in particular machines devoid of intellect, and which outstand for being devoid of any intellect), is insulting.

There is a risk to use it in occasions where actually refined thought is called "machine-like", which is insulting, diminishing, and destructive.

And it has been used in occasions in which some dismissed perfectly valid and refined information because they could not understand it.

And also in face of the above, the contribution of such statement with regards to "joke" value is either low or requiring more explicitness of any productive content.

I would restrict comparisons between humans and machines there where it is productive.
Is that not anarchy though?
It wasn't an exact catchphrase, but a common theme of the series was that they would figure out some non-car-related thing that the person liked, and work that into the car. Then Xzibit presenting the car to the person would be like, yo, we heard that you like fish, so we installed this 20 gallon fishtank in your trunk. Thus spawned the meme.

Like the Bear Grylls thing, it's not like he drinks his own urine in every episode, yet it was enough to spawn a meme.
> Northern Ireland (Irish: Tuaisceart Éireann [ˈt̪ˠuəʃcəɾˠt̪ˠ ˈeːɾʲən̪ˠ] (listen);[7] Ulster-Scots: Norlin Airlann) is a part of the United Kingdom that is variously described as a country, province, territory or region.

From Wiki, there's a bunch o links after that very first sentence.

More from wiki:

> For example, the websites of the Office of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom[99] and the UK Statistics Authority describe the United Kingdom as being made up of four countries, one of these being Northern Ireland.[100] Other pages on the same websites refer to Northern Ireland specifically as a "province" as do publications of the UK Statistics Authority.[101][102] The website of the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency also refers to Northern Ireland as being a province[103] as does the website of the Office of Public Sector Information[104] and other agencies within Northern Ireland.[105] Publications of HM Treasury[106] and the Department of Finance and Personnel of the Northern Ireland Executive,[107] on the other hand, describe Northern Ireland as being a "region of the UK". The UK's submission to the 2007 United Nations Conference on the Standardization of Geographical Names defines the UK as being made up of two countries (England and Scotland), one principality (Wales) and one province (Northern Ireland).[108]

And Ireland definitely doesn't claim it as part of the Republic.

Pseudocode can be easy to understand but you (also) need a real language to cement your understanding of the subject.
Alter Egos are a great hack. Your alter ego is a simplified version of yourself and who you want to be. It doesn't get rid of the fear, but it alters your response to the stimulus. e.g. you can adopt a mindset of Jason or The Terminator to be relentless in the face of threats. Your actions break you out of the loop, and you can drop or replace the alter ego later.

And the test should include something more substantial than

> a series of 96 files ranging in size from 2 MB to 2 GB, fixed sizes but in a randomised order. The test completed in a total write time of 24.4 seconds

2MB to 2GB was a good test somewhere in the early '00, not today, when even your average not-very-AAA game requires 50GB for the install alone.

Edit: and the first two graphs uses 10^8 as the base while the last one uses 10^10 for bytes, while the cumulative total says it was only 3 GB total data written.

This is not a test, it is just a bunch of loosely related data based on one "test".

From what I’ve read, polling disagrees with you. Younger people tend to be much more in favour of Unity. I also wouldn’t confuse the Alliance vote with support for the Union. A lot of people who want a border poll in the medium term, also want sane, modern representation in the short term. Alliance is the answer to that.

You often need to cut corners and ignore stuff for later to connect the system ASAP. It's mostly through experience that you learn what can be ignored and what should not be ignored.
I'm in the habit of just adding these things directly to .gitignore for repos which I'm a core contributor to.

Things like:

drafts/
backup/
*.bak
ignored/

etc.

I don't really see the downside to just adding them to the tracked gitignore. If other people have a different convention and want to add these files/paths for some reason, it's easily discoverable to them why the files can't be added, and then we can have a discussion about what naming conventions we want.
Agreed. I find Gimps UI not just bad, but actively user hostile. I bought Affinity Photo just so I wouldnt have to deal with Gimp-- something that took 7-8 steps in Gimp could be done in one.

The effects have been entirely detrimental in Dublin. The (vast) majority of the jobs in the country are in the capital, yet there's nowhere near enough living space. And a good portion of it is because of AirBnB. During the pandemic, when the tourist market shut down, the number of long-term lets doubled. And statistical evidence shows most of these were AirBnBs going back onto the long-term market.

Not to mention the negative externality of living next to what is basically an unlicensed hotel reserved for tourists. Coming in all hours of the night, loud and rowdy and not a care in the world about the people who have to actually live in an area. AirBnB has done more harm than good, all because tourists feel they should be entitled to live like a local, which completely disregards any planning and zoning done by cities, which count for tourists in hotels/hostels, not in actual residences meant for locals. And thus the locals get driven out and the city basically becomes full of tourists.

Galway is just as bad too. If AirBnB were shut down tomorrow, it would be 100 times better (it still wouldn't be great as the government hasn't done anything to really help matters, but AirBnB is a major issue).
No, that's not the only factor. It may come as a surprise to some, but not everyone wants to live in the US, or live the US company life. I couldn't care less about getting a work visa and doubling my salary if it means I have to live in Silicon Valley. I'm not saying it's bad, I'm saying it's not for me, and for many others.

$250k/yr in Europe > $500k/yr in US, especially since in Europe that would put me somewhere in the 1% and I would live like a prince pretty much everywhere.

And more personally, $250k/yr at a company I enjoy > $1M/yr at a FAANG. I have no interest in getting filthy rich working for any of those companies, but YMMV.
I have the same with other languages. One thing that I find fascinating is that while all the western TTS and language understanding frameworks allow only one at the time. The Chinese ones happily do Chinese and English at the same time.

I recently tried out the open source android TTS engines and they don't seem all that great even though there's been years of development on them.

Can anyone that knows comment on what the complexity here is?
exactly,

it's interesting to notice, but nothing surprising. git isn't supposed to ignore it for instructions
This reminds me of bacigalupi's excellent novel, 'the water knife'.
> at least not without defining a new signature algorithm OID

Yes, that's what you would need to do if you wanted this.

OpenSSH comes with tooling that will sign arbitrary files, and can use either conventional SSH key files (for which it has a safety rationale, explaining why this can't weaken their security for their original authentication purpose if the signature algorithm works as intended) or a FIDO device.
Including Alliance in these stats is misleading. We’ve no idea how those voters would vote in a border poll and therefore in any claims about that they should be discounted (as, if we had a border poll, they would have to choose). When you do that the vote was almost 50/50 in terms of unity/union parties.
Huh, they could have just passed on making/scratching another shitty sitcom and kept all 150 employees.

I’ve tried using á RockPro64 with FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT and although it runs just fine without hacks I’ve noticed the performance is not that good.

One thing I notice from reading these updates is that there's a focus on new features, but very little on UX improvements. Gimp seems like a very powerful tool, but a lot of its power is incredibly hard to discover. As a casual user, I am regularly stumped in doing things that should be simple. I wonder if they should have a specific project to improve the UX.
