Stylus likely won't be affected, as CSS isn't actually "code execution" and can be fully reduced to "make a <style> element and inject it into the page".

As for userscripts, those could be done in the same way, but this would reduce functionality and security.

Completely agree. Their offering for running containers is great, but nobody wants to maintain a database. They should add DBaaS on their architecture with automatic backups etc.

Couple of friends got stuff from Alibaba confiscated and destroyed by customs because it wasn't marked with valid CE and RoHS marks. I'm inclined to believe that at least German customs are actively looking for electronics - they're seizing around 250k general electronics plus 250k phones each year [1].

> Obviously that won't prevent user error from leaving the probe at x1, but at that point the device would most likely destroy itself before you can even touch it anyways.

The other scenario would be the user testing a socket and managing to connect scope GND to hot and scope input to neutral. At that point, most of that scope's "housing" aka its PCBs will be extremely dangerous to touch.

Advertising anything not actually complying with the numerous safety regulations surrounding electricity (particularly, IEC 61010-2-030) is so incredibly ignorant that it makes me question the rest of the entire product quality.

Puzzling features deep in Earth’s interior
I went on a long walk this weekend asking myself this very question. There's so much pressure to try to excel at everything, to be extraordinary on every front. Since I live in a world that celebrates exceptionality, most of what I see online, in social media, etc. tells me I need to be fantastically rich and fit and creative and insightful and on and on and on.

I needed a couple hours to think about what actually matters to me. If I get to the end of my life, which things will make me feel like it was well-lived?

I settled on two. My two may not be the same as your two, but you probably don't actually have a lot more than two.

I want to be absolutely as extraordinary as I can be at those two things, and I'm content to be forgettably mediocre to passably decent at everything else, if it means succeeding at those two things.

Granted, this is a new perspective for me, but I'm hopeful that this will help me own my decisions and let go of the stress of expectations.

If letting go of the things that don't matter to you strikes other people as insufferably "boring," but you feel you're living your life well, seek out other friends and mentors who will encourage you toward the goals that really matter to you.
When in need assembly is a friend indeed. It might not be the friend you'd want to go on a hiking trip with - that is, unless you like to eat birch bark spaghetti and drink fish blood - but it is the friend you know will be there to help you when birch bark spaghetti and fish blood are the only things available.
The lack of evidence is the proof.

Is this even enforceable? This is a contract agreement under duress. You can't absolve yourself just by saying these things; their terms do not supersede the law of the land.

your disagreement doesn't change the fact AOT programs can become pathological by their a priori and not a posteriori tagging of hot and cold functions but hey free country, not assimilating valid arguments and being in denial is a human right.
Also I realize you said "pausing the world", are you confusing JITs with GCs? Or enlighten me what in a JIT induce a stop the world pause besides a GC.
As for this, it is hortogonal indeed, AOT java/C# still has a GC and has indeed SOTA submillisecond GC pauses with e.g. ZGC.
On an overseas store shelf the alternative is between real Parmigiano-Reggiano (if the experimentation is successful, with a chip) and counterfeit shit, not between different cheesemakers of the consortium

On my overseas store shelf I have a choice between 3-5 different brands of real Parmigiano-Reggiano, with the most expensive one being twice the price of the cheapest one, so there is obviously some competition going on. The only other real competitor is Grana Padano, which most people consider a cheaper substitute.

Of course one or more of those brands claiming to be Parmigiano-Reggiano might very well be fake and I'd have no way of knowing.
How would this regulation help in this specific case?

I find I sympathise a lot with both narratives about app stores: it does seem that big mistakes are made and sometimes it seems apps are removed anti competitively but it also seems that there are a lot of apps that are basically malware already and forcing app stores to remove fewer apps would lead to more of it.
Can defendants in criminal or civil court request a verdict from a judge or panel of judges instead of a jury?

I believe Mario Batali did that quite recently in his alleged creepy touching trial.

Back to your explanation, this seems like a court functioning the way it was meant to. I think everyone will agree there was a massive Executive overreach in the 20th century, with congress abdicating much of its counterbalancing power (making difficult/unpopular policy decisions that are future-looking is not the recipe for re-election).

Bowing to precedence regardless of the quality of the decision seems like bad law facilitating more bad law.

I'm going to take this opportunity to point out that (for me at least) the best IRC client is Matrix. They offer a bridge to Libera.chat, and that then sets up a Matrix "room" for each IRC channel you join.

You then get a consistent session, that all history automatically, with clients for every platform. Plus you're on Matrix which is a good thing :)
The poster seems to be trying to draw a parallel between his comment and an infamous post that he made nearly 15 years ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224), or maybe just to make him feel bad. I personally don’t think the tones of the two posts are comparable at all. His post has been quoted out of context for the last decade or so, though, so it’s not surprising to me. (Ask yourself, what did “app” mean in his comment?)

Several people seem to expect that he would be embarrassed by my comment or regret making it, but it honestly doesn’t bother him at all. I, HN, and even the world have changed a lot in 15 years.

Anyway, he's pretty satisfied with where life has taken him. He's certainly not going to sweat someone combing through his post history in a vague attempt to dunk on him.
Persistence Programming
I'm amazed that you remembered that.
If we consider lignin as the first plastic (not man-made), it took about 60 million years. See https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/the-fanta...
What you are saying is true, however:

1. It's been the case for many, many decades; nothing new there, and

2. All your examples are end-user applications, not operating systems.

Operating systems - and perhaps frameworks in general - are different, in that complexity is much more of a problem. Operating system is not just another application, it's the foundation of the entire thing. All this text processing stuff you've mentioned: this is just a part of Unix, the "icing". What matters lies below.

>Computers were their own separate thing in the UNIX era.

Back when computers were their own separate thing, Unix was just one of a bunch of vastly different systems. Very large market share - perhaps even bigger than Unix - was VMS, and MVS was a thing too; then you had a bunch of less common ones, like Pr1me.

Now, however, literally every phone runs Unix.

>With an appreciation of simplicity seems to come a love of the analog, because that's the ultimate UNIX philosophy, not using a computer at all.

Or mechanical :-) Again, this is very true, but it is like this for a reason: it's because we understand the complexity involved and its consequences.
I agree but in a wider sense as well.

There are an awful lot of programming languages
and methods that receive no hype.
I have wondered about this, the most likely reason

Is that the majority of the crowd at the site come
from a shared sphere, and to some agree the same type
of priorities.

Personally, I like to stay away from the bleeding edge technology.

That does not constitute much of a problem for a lot of companies.

The annoying part is that recruiters often cram all sorts of technology
into requirements for a CV and a job, even if the client has no need
for those things, at least not yet.

There are millions or at least 100,000 of "enterprise" software projects
out there.

I do admit it is not as sexy as the latest and greatest and start ups
but it is a field where there are a whole lot of devs working in.

They do perhaps not spend as much time on HN, or they are quiet
The fact is you don’t want unpredictable latency when processing audio. JIT produces unpredictable latency. This is a fact. You are saying that doesn’t matter, because in the end it is faster, but it totally misses the point about latency.
It's what most of HN and Reddit does. Article even mentions communication is still important (hey guys guess what, reading the article also is part of communication).

Then there's the crowd which will kneejerk towards "rather someone who communicates than a jerk who won't communicate". Really, most people qualify for the former regardless of their technical capabilities. It's a comparison which barely happens in real life. Most "toxic" people are very easy to filter. Most people don't lack communicative skills. Job adverts and interviews very clearly filter out technically deficient people (why else do you think many of them are looking for i+2 people for i skill level jobs?), and don't optimize for quick, communicative learners at all.

That's not to mention communication skills are much more difficult to quantify than tech skills. One's "he's poor at communication" is another's "he's great at communication". See endless discussions about meetings and meetings being held as a "good at communication" standard.

It sounded like the intermediate cert was very old so any browsers that had visited a site that used it previously would have cached it but anyone trying to obtain it now didn't work.

Seems weird though, you would think that if the intermediate had expired, the client cert would also have expired.
> My memory is that, at the very beginning, it wasn't known how COVID spread and that it was recommended out of an abundance of caution. Is my memory incorrect?

People certainly used allusions to uncertainty; despite the fact it was always known that it was a coronavirus that worked exactly like all the others we've known about for half a century or more. Those appeals to uncertainty seem to have been a useful marketing tool in the sale of ineffective solutions. Like killing peoples pets or spraying the streets or wearing masks outdoors. Appealing to uncertainty is not evidence based policy.

> Was there ever public policy around hand sanitizer?

Yes. And health advice. Indeed in one African country i was forced to use hand sanitiser at gunpoint by a G4S guard. Such a grave error in telling lies about what is effective gives despots real opportunity. Many western countries spent tens of millions concocting marketing materials telling people how to correctly wash their hands and how often. Huge amounts of government were spent [wasted] on procuring it, as is the subject of this post.

> Which has more evidence of efficacy: phrenology or disinfectants?

Disinfecting streets for a droplet transmitted coronavirus is less effective than phrenology in the different magesteria they inhabit. At least the placebo effect of phrenology or its positive reinforcement probably helped some people psychologically when it was in vogue.
My friend, if you find your life to be meaningful, and more importantly you are satisfied with it, then shut all outside voices telling you that you are living it wrong.

You will find that most people are not at all content with their lives, so if you are, you are in a great position.
> No but being quiet unless prompted to speak, will make a team work environment dysfunctional.

I probably can’t be convinced that individuals who keep to themselves will create a dysfunctional work environment.

If I’m reading your statement as strict as you wrote it, I’ll mention I have never worked with someone who felt they could not speak unless spoken to.
Dumb question but what's the user experience difference between a browser wallet and saving a credit card in a password manager?

As to AltaVista, I'm not old enough to have used it. But my guess is that its accuracy and speed was not higher than that of the best competitors to Google right now. And to me, no competitor comes close in matching Google's combination of accuracy and speed across many categories of search (I've tried bing/you.com/yahoo.com/duckduckgo so far).

As for youtube, serving video is not the impressive part. It's the scale at which they do it. And my understanding is that the scale has increased exponentially since the 2006 acquisition.
risk premium arises from supply and demand in markets typically with some kind of quoting system. free money out of nowhere isnt really "risk premium" in that sense.
FWIW YC has changed over the years, both with different partners and a changing startup ecosystem. Geo-based feedback 10 years ago probably isn't relevant now.
Excellent read performance if you don’t want real time data. I had millions of documents and search/read was super fast, just that we were okay with 1 minute late data for our use case.

We had terrible experience with mongodb (very early version) even with 100k docs.

Cons:
- Large disk space required for indexes
- Indexing is somewhat slow

Go with “smaller” document ids, you can thank me later.
There's a new series of Love & Robots coming to Netflix tomorrow, and while I've found both previous series somewhat hit and miss, the episode Zima Blue has stayed with me (someone here later told me it was based on an Alastair Reynolds story which I'd never even thought to google). I won't spoil the episode, but it powerfully captures for me something that has happened a few times in my life (heck, even now if I'm brutally honest): you're excited by some new hobby or opportunity, it almost instantly brings you floods of energy and creativity, maybe even public acclaim, and so you throw yourself into it. You spend more time on it, make a career out of it. That career blossoms, maybe you're running a business inspired by your former hobby. Except now you're not really doing your hobby anymore. You're in meetings, helping make a decision that helps the people who help the people who help the people who do the hobby. Sometimes your knowledge and enthusiasm for the hobby help you make better decisions, but you still find yourself wondering, 'what happened?' How did this thing that brought you so much joy stop being fun?

Framing that initial creative energy as "entrepreneurial" is a trap, and I see parallels in talk of the "growth mindset". The professionalisation and exploitation of the things that bring you joy, the mantra to "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life", it all sets you on a path. You have to understand that that path is invariably _away_ from the thing you love. Remember the first time you played with a computer? The first time you wrote code, however dumb? Did you dream of one day working on enterprise middleware or whatever back then? The world demands that we put away childish things, and let's be honest, society benefits from us being productive adults.

But if something brings you joy, I think you should guard it extremely jealously. Separate it from your livelihood. If you want to go change the world, if you feel you have a mission, then fine, pursue it. But it's very rare that you'll still be sprinting when you cross the finish line.
Not the commenter, but yes that’s the only use of the acronym I’ve ever heard.
> FairEmail stopping development after Google falsely flags app as spyware

Disgraceful. What kind of mentality a person has to have to take money from the biggest spyware vendor and mark others' work as spyware? Or even allow automated systems, built by spyware vendor, to slap a "spyware" label on anything?
HN: one of the last remaining Great Good Places of the Internet, a lone tavern in an iconic gateway town to the now not-so-wild west.

Beyond the western borders of this little town, the tech gold rush has both expanded to epic proportions, affecting all the economies in the world, and also gone through enough booms and busts that the phrase "gold rush" seems somehow off.

As more and more young'uns join and jaded veterans return to throng the tavern alike, it often seems to be on the brink of either exploding with the largest gun fight in history, or jumping the shark.

And yet, against all odds, it retains its original magnetism - drawing throngs that grow in number and diversity while seers like [https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=patio11](https://news.y... and [https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=tptacek](https://new... continue to return - dispensing worldly wisdom worth its weight in gold from corner tables.

The secret is the man at the corner of the bar @dang, always around with a friendly smile and a towel on his shoulder. The only sheriff in the west who still doubles as the friendly bartender: always polite, always willing to break up a fight with kind words and clean up messes himself.

Yes a cold-hard look from him is all it takes to get most outlaws to back down, yes, his Colt-45 "moderator" edition is feared by all men, but the real secret to his success: his earnest passion (some call it an obsession) for the seemingly sisyphean task of sustaining good conflict - letting it simmer but keeping it all times below the boiling point based on "the code":

"Conflict is essential to human life, whether between different aspects of oneself, between oneself and the environment, between different individuals or between different groups. It follows that the aim of healthy living is not the direct elimination of conflict, which is possible only by forcible suppression of one or other of its antagonistic components, but the toleration of it—the capacity to bear the tensions of doubt and of unsatisfied need and the willingness to hold judgement in suspense until finer and finer solutions can be discovered which integrate more and more the claims of both sides. It is the psychologist's job to make possible the acceptance of such an idea so that the richness of the varieties of experience, whether within the unit of the single personality or in the wider unit of the group, can come to expression."

May the last great tavern in the West and it's friendly bartender-sheriff live long and prosper.
yeah, we're all guilty of not supporting side projects. I'm interested because I'd like use the app - if it is going for a rebrand then I'd like to know and grab a copy.

As for splash - maybe you'd like to suggest a more appropriate term? It was a popular post for a few days.

You may want to give more details about your usecase: do you need _only_ git hosting or other features too (e.g. issue tracker, CI/CD pipelines)? How many users will use this setup? Do you have a dedicated machine or you run it locally (e.g. in a docker container?? Hosting locally or in cloud?

IIRC Gitolite was aquired by Gitlab a while back, Gitweb is not really a git hosting, it's more like a web view of your `git log`

Gitlab needs at least a couple of gigs of RAM to run well, double/triple that if you need CI/CD.

> Yes, I know there’s esoteric hardware and stuff like that where automation isn’t straight-forward, but that’s the exception, not the rule.

Maybe in your world but plenty of us work in places that have 1000s of servers, many of them internal, they don't support LE or there are security concerns with opening external firewalls just to support certificate updates so it still has to be done manually.

You might be lucky to work somewhere much smaller/newer that doesn't have the problem but please don't make disparaging statements about those of us who have to do this manually.
It's sad, but I paid for this. So hearing that you gave up because it'll be harder to profit sucks.

I'm sick of buying especially software and soon as the developers is bored or won't get rich they abandon it ot Jack up the price.
I was thinking about this tonight on my walk.

I've been noticing some funny looks at my mask wearing.

I usually walk with my mask on. I have done this way before Covid.

I used to wear it for allergies. My allergies just felt better when I wore a mask.

Tonight I could smell burn't tires on my walk. A older guy happened to be doing a burn out in his Tesla. Yea--I know, not the typical burnout guy. A few Japanese beers might have something to do with the stunt.

I left, and thought about why I like to wear a mask. We have so much pollution in the air, it just seems prudent? I'm not even that worried about Covid right now.

(I do believe we consume way to much plastic, and other chemicals (Dawn Dish soap has 13 chemicals. Why? It cleans well. I am not a great dishwasher though.)

So if you see a "jerk" wearing a mask on Sir Francis Drake look away. I know it bothers some folks.
That guy is at least 35 but he surely compensates the old age with lots of enthusiasm. After all, you don’t get a chair of royal garments innovation by pointing out that the king is naked.
