They certainly aren't using it to verify I am who I am....

I had them lock a MS account I made for a 2nd/alt account (Something I bought years ago to help when I made plugins and game content)..

Account got immediately locked the second I tried to use the launcher for "suspicious activity, give mobile number NOW to regain access".

I tried fighting it for a month, Mojang buried their head in the sand. I've even seen youtubers with multiple millions of subscribers get hit by this bullshit, with no help from Mojang.

They already have the email address I associated with the Minecraft account to begin, that should be good enough...
Monads are hard. I read many articles explaining what a monad is and what is good for but I never really grasped the concept. I probably have to learn Haskell.
I'm sure there are plenty of cracked launchers around, and there is no ethical issue with using those if you already paid for the software once.
Probably best solved by changing banks... firefox works just fine with the ~4 banks I currently use. Though the situation is probably worse on the usa-side of the pond.
Lufthansa rarely gets "Personenschaden" ("injury to persons", an euphemism for "suicide") on their flight paths while Deutsche Bahn has frequently to deal with that. A delayed intercity express train definitely delays departure of other trains that are considered Anschluss(züge) ("connecting trains"). It then ripples through the network.
Glad that simple-peer was helpful to you :)
Works fine for me. Maybe a content blocker?
> Compare it to other OSes and you will see that 'plenty' is not actually a lot in this case.

"Plenty" in my case is "more than I care about" (plus, there are other things you can set up using the command line). The assertion in the OP twas that there was none whatsoever, though.
Similar story here. Old Minecraft account bought it because Java nice cross platform, could not merge account for some reason (don't remember which but support wasn't able to solve).
Had you previously done a Show HN on this? I feel like I saw it once before.
Social media, 24 hour news cycle, perhaps even smart phones in some ways
Yes, they are doing that. Had the same experience and several of my friends also.
I am aware of opensense, and while e.g. the GUI looks cleaner and seems to have more plugins, when I started checking it more in depth I think that pfsense has more thorough documentation and things like traffic shaping which i plan to implement seems to be way easier on pfsense

also have you done migration between the two? if so, how hard was it?
Nato could have marched in at the beginning, with the justification that Russian aggression in Ukraine was a security threat to Europe.

Russians only respect strength. The situation could have been escalated much further without tipping over into nuclear exchange. Nato failed, and now we have a multitude of security issues.

What is that supposed to say about reputation?

It's the most popular browser by far, and they actually do have a very publicized team that reports bugs to not just Chrome, but Apple and Mozilla as well. In my circles this is well respected, and personally, it inspires more confidence in the infrastructure around Chrome to me. I'd be wary of any "new" browser engines in unsafe languages.

Had to deal with this for an alt. account....

Not a lawyer, but....

Given how many children play this game.... locking access to the accounts and demanding PII from minors seems like a recipe for the EU to put GDPR to use for once...
My source is from an internal (FDP) party newsletter I've read when the idea first was announced. I seem to have since deleted it...

But to put that into context: with 2.5 billion Euros, you could finance 12.5 million such 200-euro-subsidies, or a ticket for three months for about 5% of the population, which I think is not too pessimistic - I'd wager that's about twice the number of people who have a net-wide ticket for their respective ÖPNV-Verbund today.

The Länder of course consider that money too little and are trying to get more cash assigned, though.

Yeah, allowing someone to enter an arbitrary phone number is actually worse security than sending the confirmation code to the email address associated with the account.
My kids have minecraft and it's a fucking nightmare. We lost one aged account because of login issues, and similar to the OP here, one tablet is now locked out with seemingly no way of recovery: I tried calling, emailing, signing up to xbox, but basically: fuck off, you've lost the 25 quid and all your worlds.

I've been running a pi-hole for years and played Halo on Windows 10 and had no problems.

If you add a bunch of extra-aggressive blocklists maybe you'll have issues but if you stick with the recommended OOTB lists, you'll be fine.
I have a couple of home built TrueNAS systems for many years (since FreeNAS, ~ 10 years ago), here is some feedback:

- with same disk size, but just 3 disks, I get around 240 MB/sec read speed for large files (with 10 Gbps NIC). I guess the biggest difference is the CPU power, your NAS seems very slow. On 1 Gbps NIC I get 120 MB/sec transfer speed. My system is even virtualized, on bare metal may be a little bit faster.

- you cannot expand your pool, if you add one more disk there is no way to cleanly migrate to a 5 disk raidz1. There is some new development that kind of does something, but it is not what is needed

- unless esthetics is a big deal for you, there are still $30 cases around. The extra $70 can be used for something else *

- * with a small percentage cost increase, an investment in CPU and RAM can give you the capability to run some VMs on that hardware, so that CPU will not sit at idle 99.9% of the time and be underpowered when you do use it. Using a dedicated computer just for a NAS is not very cost and power efficient, but if you group multiple functionalities it becomes a great tool. For example I run 3-4 VMs at all times, up to ~ 12 when I need it.

- that motherboard and the comparison to a B450 is wrong. The MB restricts you to 4 SATA, while the B450 I bought for ~ $120 has 6 SATA ports

- TrueNAS does not *require* a HBA firmware change, that is needed if you want to convert a RAID controller to plain HBA mode or with certain old HBA that need newer firmware. However for your setup a HBA is not needed. If you want to add many disks and have a good performance (like more than 500-1000 MB/sec) then you need the HBA

- your math is wrong. You calculate available space using ~ 3.8TB disks and divide to 4 TB. The 4TB disks don't have 4TB, but 4x10^12 bytes, so the percentages in your table are exactly 80%, 60% and 40%.

- that CPU does not work with 32GB DIMMs. This works only with newer Ryzen generations, not with Zen+ in this CPU.

- GPU is not missing. TrueNAS does not render anything on a GPU, there is no need for one. I did ran TrueNAS for a couple of years on a computer with no video capability at all (a Ryzen 2700) without any problem, I just used a GPU for the initial installation and then removed it.

- unless you store a database for a SQL server or similar, there is no benefit in a SLOG; it is not a tiered cache, so it does not speed up file transfers in any way. You can have a disk dedicated as a read cache, but the cache content is currently wiped at every restart (a documented limitation) and not needed if you don't want very good performance with small files over the network
Lisp, Smalltalk, and the power of symmetry (2014)
Cached accesses are not fast anymore. Modern chips can retire a dozen or even more instructions in the time it takes to move a word in from L1 cache.
This is the space that Microsoft's HoloLens and to a much lesser degree the prior Google Glass project stepped into.
I'm curious about this question, even though it's a bit off-topic: how likely is it that an entity (commercial or governmental) could "secretly" produce enough mining hardware to consistently have 51% of network's hash power?
Vulnerabilities in the browser engine is only part of the issue. Plenty of malicious activity involves tricking the user or silently spying on them - blocking advertising/spyware/etc domains will greatly help with that.
> Russia pulled out of most of the country the day after Zelensky announced they might not go in NATO after all

They didn't.

The only time they made a major retreat was when they overstretched and Kyiv offensive that was expected to be quick failed.

They've moved batallions to regroup for Donbas offensive leaving behind Bucha and other horrors.

No connection to anything related to NATO. If anything "NATO enlargement" rhethoric is just a coverup. Estonia is part of the NATO and it's bordering Russia with travel distance of 210 km to St. Petersburg.
I chose the same case for my NAS. Main thing I did different was rather than buying a consumer board, I bought a mini-ITX Xeon-D board from supermicro which had integrated dual 10G NICs, 6x SATA, and an ASPEED IPMI for remote management. Was $400 for that board a few years ago (soldered CPU).
Waiting for them to get rid of traditional Minecraft so they can monetize everything and lock it into Windows.
Actually, mainstream superdeterminism would allow us to radically change society and how we view norms. It would lead to radical changes in the criminal justice system for example. It just needs acceptance from people, and there is a lot people who stand to not benefit from these changes in society that are trying to make it harder to do so.

Ah, yes. I forgot I had enabled Firefox Focus as content blocker, for some reason. It must have a rule for Twitter images or something. Thanks!
Uh... Goods rail is running at night in Germany, and lots of it. So much in fact, that some connections are utilized at full capacity pretty much 24/7 and causing huge problems when they're blocked.
Hello fellow Sheffielder :)
In The Netherlands we commonly refer to these as “staples”
I am absolutely concerned about some of their actions, like their paused "inclusive suggestions" [1]. There's a big difference between providing a guide and highlighting words in an email that are marked as 'wrong' purely for perceived cultural reasons.

Google's suggestion to change "landlord" for example, which has very specific cultural baggage and, more importantly, legal definitions, to something else is definitely wrong and worrying. I think it takes a certain arrogance that maybe only a Silicon Valley tech company can have to try to change how billions of people speak.

I'm not sure how much of an ideology it is though. Like the writers guide above, once the reasonable suggestions have been made, the authors seem to overreach to find more things to "fix". If a persons job depends on finding "problems" they will simply create new ones once the run out of legitimate ones. I think that's true whether it's planning officers for property development or politicians.

I've also had to decide if I want to use pfsense or opnsense, but for me, the pfblockerNG plugin was what tipped the scales in favor of pfsense.
I would love to chat sometime if you’re available. I’ve been teaching middle school math for the past 6 years. I’m now trying to transition into tech.
First, Microsoft bought Mojang.

Then, they developed new Minecraft games that do not support Linux, unlike the original.

Finally, they require a Microsoft account to play.

Well, guess what: I am not using Windows, and I am certainly not going to use a Microsoft account.

Product managers at Microsoft can go all fuck themselves with a voxel torch.
You're right. I don't actually DI always. Only (most of the time) when I have may have multiple implementations of a function, mock the function, or test it with different implementations of its depenencies.

I still use many static functions

> can it build me an interstellar space ship (FTL would be nice!) or not?

Only the "illusions" that obey the laws of physics are allowed. The laws of physics are the only "real" thing; positions and speeds of specific objects are not.

So if the laws of physics happen to forbid FTL travel, we will not get such spaceship.
I don't understand why many of the stands he calls useless are useless. Sure most of them are less economical but as long as there's a loop of metal anchored to the ground how is it useless?
This is how futures contracts are supposed to work. The times when these contracts made the farmers extra money at the expense of the consumer should make up for this time.
I have never seen a Sheffield stand where I live, but far better than what we have. The only way to lock a bike to the ones here is to take up 5 or 6 lock points since these are designed only to lock your wheel to them. Have a ulock ? Find a sign.
> Those non-features are also a hallmark of a site that hasn't been updated in 25 years

Spivak's calculus hasn't been updated either since way longer than that, and it's as fresh today as it was in 1967. What is your point exactly?

Still, what you say does not ring true to me. I was thinking about stuff like bellard.org , tygert.com or math.ucr.edu/home/baez/ ... All these sites are html-only, get updated regularly, and each update is a much larger achievement than the entire life work of an average person.
Not that i approve/excuse it, but it could also be why you must jump through so many hoops to get access to the account. There's a big black market on "OG" minecraft nicknames.
No, it's about why only a subset of students get singled out for extra scrutiny, literally arbitrarily, as the selection procedure itself is defined as "random sampling."

That doesn’t matter for the case where a compiler would like to replace x + y by x because it knows y == 0.

The compiler would have to test for the x == -0 case, and doing that ¿rarely/never? is faster than computing x + y.

That seems like the only reasonable option these days.

Got a reasonable problem with a small business, or even a bank? Just go to the nearest branch and talk with a reasonable person.

Got a minor issue with a tech company? Godspeed and good luck, better find someone able to escalate the problem internally, while possibly breaking some rules.
A lot of code review is needless nitpicking that doesn't help to produce bug free software and mostly provides friction.

Particularly with senior devs reviewing other senior devs work.

I don't think I'd say that code review needs to be abolished, but it often needs to be put on a bit of a diet.

And I've seen PRs where code beautification feedback has gotten so out of hand and the PR is now 10% code fixes and 90% unrelated cleanup in the class/module/whatever that I can no longer determine if its safe to merge or not and that no regressions were introduced by the code review process itself.
What about seeding the system and putting your own (bad) answers up there ahead of time?

The Netherlands is thoroughly metricized, but we still have the 'pond' as informal usage for 500g. It's nice to have a little bit more meat in your stew. :-)
We lived for a couple weeks in Nicaragua and we hired the sister of the guy who maintained the property to cook for us (an optional service we were quick to agree to). On the first day she cooked a big batch of black beans in a pot. She left the pot on the stove, and would briefly bring to a boil each morning and night, which eliminated the need for refrigeration. With each successive day she’d throw in a few things like green peppers, garlic, etc, and the beans also gradually broke down so the flavour just got better and better. So easy, so nutritious, super convenient…we in the developed world have forgotten so many techniques like this, to our detriment.
> I use a cheap smartphone. It works fine but gets no more updates. According to your position in this debate, I should abandon that unhygienic phone, and pay the protection money for a fresh plastic box of rare earth metals, for the greater good.

It's definitely not right that you have to do that, but the fact is that today, being secure means you do have to. In the ideal world, manufacturers would have to either provide security fixes for way longer, or open up their devices to the point that other people can do it for them.

> It's disappointing you believe embracing automatic updates is tied to ethical use of the internet. The implication of that idea, is that update-urgency is never exploited by those pushing the updates.

Do you consider it ethical for your computer to knowingly be part of a botnet? And of course Microsoft abuses automatic updates, but the solution to that isn't getting rid of automatic updates; it's getting rid of Microsoft (e.g., switching to Linux or something).
I prefer traditional textbooks, so I've always been turned off by suggestions to use Kahn Academy. My preferred math resource is OpenStax, an open-source textbook publisher. The books only go up through calc 3, so if you're beyond that level, you will need to find a different resource.
> but to call America a Ponzi scheme is essentially meaningless

Calling one specific economically advanced civilization a ponzi scheme because it has radically different and unsustainable development policy is far from meaningless given there are obvious models outside of the US that we could transition to.

> You might as well call civilization itself a Ponzi scheme that requires new members when they turn 18 to participate while old members at 65 cash out.

You might as well call all investments a ponzi scheme if our only requirement is that some people are buying in while others are exiting. The interesting aspect of an investment (or civilization/development policy) is how sustainable it is and how transparent it is about its sustainability.

> Outlining why civilization was a mistake is interesting, but not sure what good can come out of it

Strong Towns doesn't advocate that civilization was a mistake, and the good that can come of their work is not continuing to double down on unsustainable development practices.
It's not about switching time, it's about cognitive load. If any dense information creeps into your far peripheral vision, it might as well not exist because you have to locate it. During any concentrated work, only something you can fit in the center of your binocular field of vision (roughly speaking) doesn't cause severe mental context switching.

I tried to work on three 16:9 displays for some time, and found it exhausting. The cognitive overload isn't worth it, workspace switching with a hotkey turned out to be far easier for me. That's not even mentioning constant neck movement.

Maybe it's just me though, I can't speak for different people; but I strongly suspect it's the same for many.
> and only if you're very lucky the compiler will condense this down to the same few dozen lines of actually needed code

The code consists almost entirely of templates and inline functions and every modern C++ compiler will optimize that away. In a release build there is basically no overhead compared to using raw pointers.
> This is Russian propaganda.

Oh are Zelensky and The Independent Russian propaganda now? [1] Sorry, I can't keep up with you people. What about The Hill and AP[2]?

> Second, nope, Russia absolutely didn't get what Putin wants. You may want to read his essay "On the historical units of Russians and Ukrainians". He wants the entire Ukraine to become a part of Russia.

So now you buy into Russian propaganda instead of political science. Interesting.

> In reality, the Russian army was near Kiev trying to capture it, failed, was pushed back. To save face, Putin now says that this is exactly what he wanted. Except, yesterday he said something different, and no doubt tomorrow he will say something different again.

Sure thing, buddy, just coincidentally the day after Zelensky announced Ukraine won't go in NATO.

They don't work for many bicycle geometries[1]. Small vs large frames, small vs large wheels, wide vs narrow tyres, tricycles, tandem bikes, cargo bikes, recumbent bikes, hand-cranked bikes etc. Also if they are too finicky about the exact way you lock the bike (particular orientation, particular lock-point) it can be hard to make it work when there are obstacles (such as other bikes). The Sheffield stand makes the fewest assumptions.

The "wheel grabber" kinds are particularly useless; thieves just detach the wheel or snip the wires and make off with the remainder.

[1] I'll give an example: the other week I tried to lock my bike to a trapezoid shaped stand, kind of like #13 in the thread but longer and without the lower wiggly bit. It was perpendicular to a wall, with the tall end towards the wall. The diagonal part happened to be exactly parallel with the mid-frame of my bike. Since parallel lines do not intersect, I would have had to move the bike completely inside the stand in order to make a D-lock fit around it, which was precluded by the placement next to the wall. I couldn't put it the other way and attach it to the rear chain stays because it would have jutted out into the path and obstructed pedestrians. Try as I might, I just couldn't make it work. So I just attached it to a metal fence ten yards away.
I must have missed where in my comment I held up Fox as the ideal of journalism - perhaps you could point it out to me?
Pretty cool, I didn't know it was a series in Italy. From what they said in the article it doesn't seem too far from the Disney version. (Any more than the expected, condensed, Disney way).

Jordan Peterson actually really opened up the Disney story of Pinocchio for me, all of it is really quite apt. I could imagine the original is quite amazing.
