I don't know when it happened or what caused it, but ever since I started paying attention to the animals that live all around us, even in a relatively urban environment, my mind has been blown repeatedly. Bats, squirrels and rabbits are everywhere, and the variety of birds that inhabit or regularly visit the area where I live (western Germany) is staggering. Last year, I saw a kestrel in my backyard, taking a mouse. A couple of weeks ago, I took a walk and came by a couple of wild geese just sitting there on the lawn.

It takes a conscious effort to pay attention, but it is very much worth it, at least to me. (It helps, I admit, that the city I live in is fairly "green", i.e. has lots of trees and parks that happen to provide a habitat for lots of animals as well.)
I think it depends on the neighborhood. Here it's mostly harmless. A couple pot shots here and there but mostly people share recommendations, list lost pets, announce HOA meetings and local news. I did see one physical threat one time but that guy was gone by the time I checked out the post again, mods had deleted him and people moved on. That said I don't use my real name or say where I live other than a large neighborhood.

For the same reason that an innocent person may plead guilty: because the expected outcome is better than the alternative.
It's not hub and spoke. Any existing network topology can be mirrored essentially 1:1 with wireguard. With hub and spoke VPNs the model constrains your deployment somewhat. Now I'm not saying key distribution with wireguard is easy, that's a different problem. But wireguard is literally like "let's take your existing network interface and give it modern fast impossible to fuck up encryption".

I think it’s a mistake to optimize for people whose focus is what happens if they stop paying you. They’re unlikely to pay in the first place and are more likely to be difficult customers even if they do.

Customers who get value out of your product will want to pay and keep paying and be sure they’re not going to miss important updates if they forget to renew in a year. These are the customers to focus on imo.

People are happy to pay subscriptions for software they get continuing value from. There’s no need to reinvent the wheel on this.

The hypervisor problem can be solved (in theory) with secure boot configured with custom keys and full disk encryption. I don't know anyone who actually uses Qubes so I don't know how practical that solution is.
Coreboot has something similar to secure boot, so even if you use an open source boot loader, this can be done.

An attacker would need to do some quite invasive hardware tampering to get a third party hypervisor to work on a system secured like that.

Furthermore, preventing hypervisor detection requires constant updates if the OS itself is configured to check for the presence of a hypervisor. There's a constant arms race going on between security researchers and cybercriminals who don't want their malware to trigger on analysts' machines, many of which use virtualization to easily reset the system back to a known, secure state. Every time malware comes up with a new method of detection your evil hypervisor needs to be patched to fake that stuff too or you risk detection next time the OS updates its detection algorithms.

Regardless of what you call it or what you believe has caused it, I encourage people to read their local / regional agricultural news closely. Farmers, generally recognized as a conservative group of people, are very much on the front lines of dealing with both weather and climate. Around the country, we are seeing drought, we're seeing areas where crops can be grown that weren't possible in the past and vice versa areas where crops can no longer be grown that were once productive (due to things like changing heat /cold / seasonal duration). Further, whether you believe our wildfires in the west are due to mismanagement or something else, they are happening and they affect both our farmers and real estate.

This, in my opinion, is a trait of a poor engineer, and falls outside of our target audience. Strong engineers are serious about the entire system, including the OS it runs on, and treats it as an engineering target no different from any other. If you feel differently, then Hare may not be for you, which is fine -- it's not designed to solve everyone's problems. It's designed to appeal to a specific audience.
Wireguard is your plumbing layer. OpenVPN is an entire application stack. Wireguard is super simple because it's low level. If you wanted to compare something (as a user in terms of feature parity, etc.) to OpenVPN a more accurate comparison would probably be nebula or tailscale (private/mesh network management tools that are built atop wireguard). I'm a wireguard fan and it's true that its crypto is much simpler, smaller, and harder to fuck up than OpenVPN but that is really only something that matters to the security hats.
"Being delusional" isn't a right-wing value. It's hard for them to move further "to the right" in any prior sense of "right".

Over the past decades, the right wing has taken a psychotic break from reality. It's not a conservative value; it's just plain stupid. They have indeed gotten stupider over the years.

I suppose you could say that "hating the left wing" is a right-wing value. If so, it's the only axis on which they could move further to the right. And horrifyingly, there is still room to move.

I have had a lot more success with Tabnine. One, it runs offline as well as online so the performance difference with/without internet is unnoticeable. Two, it understands context much better. I was prototyping in Python with Tabnine turned on without the LSP and I felt no need to install one. It spits out uncannily good suggestions if you are using a popular library like Beautifulsoup etc.

Copilot is marketed as a pair programmer but the code quality is often times just wrong, not just bad. It thinks it understands what I want based on the function name and parameters but the generated output is no where close to what I want.

Multiline AI generated suggestions are not a good idea anyway (not yet at least). AI based LSP/auto completer would be much better at this stage with a lot faster DX.
I read once that when we read, our eyes bounce along the tops of the letters. A demonstration removed the lower parts of the letters, and interestingly, I was able to still read the words. I would like to see this same test but with a font that removed the lower half of the words in each sentence. Just for kicks and giggles...
That's because it's not a compelling service. It's been possible since the internet started and never took off.

One of the most compelling services in the history of computing is the opposite - a centrally controlled service offering computing resources in return for standard, government issued currency. Throughout all computing, centrally controlled shared resources has been a compelling value prop.
This is such a fun idea, actually. Sprites in general (not just 2D 8-bit style) could be really useful for DALL-E to generate. There are a good amount of tilesets and sprite packs for sale online created by pixel artists. But having sprites and tiles generated by DALL-E could really invigorate the indie game community.
I haven’t been in Scotland, but I’ve been told Edinburgh is a very nice city.

I visited England and Wales for work and I went to Belfast a few times. I visited all the English cities in your list and they aren’t in the same league of random central Italian towns. They were so ugly and anonymous that I’d demand a premium of 50K to move there from London.
(IANAL) It's a tool, transforming source code. The result thus seems like a derivative work; whether you are or are not allowed to use that in your work depends on the originating license. (And perhaps, your license. E.g., you can't derive from a GPL project and license it as MIT, as the GPL doesn't permit that. But to license as GPL would be fine. But this minimal example assumes all the input to Copilot was GPL, which I rather doubt is true, and I don't think we even know what the input was.)

I think there might be some in this thread who don't consider these derivatives, for whatever reason, but it seems to be that if rangeCheck() passes de minimis, then the output from Copilot almost certainly does, too. That a tool is doing the copying and mutating, as opposed to a human, seems immaterial to it all. (Now, I don't know that I agree with rangeCheck() not being de minimis … and yet.) Or they think that Copilot is "thinking", which, ha, no.
>The Boltzmann Brain says that our conscious experience at the current moment is a chance quantum event.

I just meant that the proposition that an iron bar might be viewed as containing a consciousness, is similar to the idea in the BB proposition that consciousnesses might arise spontaneously in random matter in space. Well they might, but that doesn't prove or refute anything about consciousness.

The bit about Boltzmann's Brains possibly outnumbering real evolved brains is a separate philosophical question I didn't mean to address, and I apologise for the confusion.

Remember that Hare programs ordinarily have only a small number of dependencies, countable on one or two hands. If you need a newer version of a specific one, you can send a patch for your distribution updating the package when you need it, or download it and add it to your HAREPATH manually, or vendor it in your tree.
> I guess it's because the friendship going badly will have a detrimental impact at work and you have to interact with these people every day whether you want to or not.

The book Impro characterizes friendship as a relationship in which one can freely and safely play "status games" without any actual stakes or chance of status-shifts. If that's true, then it's definitely more challenging to have a "real" friendship with a co-worker.

[EDIT]

> EDIT: after thinking on it a little bit, I can't remember my parents nor friend's parents having friendships either. That makes me second-guess the technological influences on loneliness. I'm sure technology is making it worse, but I don't think we can point at it and say "this is the cause" because the loneliness epidemic seems to have started even before my generation.

Bowling Alone[1] was published in 2000 and is an expansion of a 1995 essay, which makes it about 27 years old now. It was not observing a new trend, but one that had been going on for decades, when it was published.

The RISC-V spec does allow non-trapping behavior and SeRV in particular has non-trapping behavior, which is an important part of how it can fit into 200 4-input LUTs. Trap handling is also not part of the base ISA.

> I don't usually touch, taste or smell my friends either.

It would be very out of the ordinary to not touch or smell your friends quite frequently.

While some people prefer not to, hugging, patting on the back, nudging, passing objects back and forth, and even less common things like holding hands or touching each others' hair are very common social interactions.

Smelling just happens passively when you're spending time with biological creatures who have perfumed clothing, armpits, and hair, and sweat to boot (among other less desirable odors). This isn't necessarily a great thing but experiencing the biology of other human beings is personally important to me.

To not taste things with / alongside your friends would also be out of the ordinary.

I suppose that only you would know if your site really needs a CDN by looking at load/network statistics. Anecdotally the only times I have needed one was when I posted anything controversial. Even then a VPS can usually withstand some abuse but some of the admins can be quick to disable a node if they see sustained abuse. Some VPS providers are easier to manipulate into cancelling a VM without proper investigation. It also depends on how experienced the person responding to their abuse@ complaints is that day.

For what it's worth, HN is not using a CDN and is just running on one server.

We (well, the IT group at a previous job) used kerberized NFS with Ubuntu (16.04 and 18.04 IIRC) and netapp filers, worked fine.

> Side-note: I wouldn't be surprised if LDAP+NFS is still pretty common across universities, either as a holdover from Sun days or just out of practicality.

Yes, absolutely. Most large enterprises, be it universities or big companies, have some kind of centralized directory (nowadays probably Microsoft AD), and machines (servers and end user clients) are then configured to lookup user and group info from there.
> Why is being anti-porn a kind of hysteria?

You seem to confusing a description of “anti-porn hysteria” as an existing thing with a claim that all anti-porn inclination is hysteria, either in error or as a deliberate construction of a strawman to argue against. But, in either case, no one claimed the thing you are trying to argue against.
Also, women seem to lose more weight from walking than men do.

Your first point doesn't make sense to me, there are transmission and discharge losses associated with batteries, but they're still practical for many use cases.

The amount of tolerable losses depends on how cheap the power is, if the power supply is intermittent, some time they'd be greatly in excess of standard loads, in which case you could run hydrogen cracking at 10% efficiency and it might still be useful just as grid ballast.
I believe, but do not know how or where to find a conclusive answer, that the minimum amount of information[0] required to deliver a piece of US mail is street, number, and ZIP. The rest of the information forms a rudimentary logical checksum. The state name, 'California' can easily disambiguate a leading numeral that looks as if it could be a 0 or a 9, as a leading-zero-ZIP would be in the East.

[0] Specifically, the address information that the sender typically writes on the front of an envelope. As you noted, the information in the IMB barcode is also sufficient information.

"Still another alternative is the broadband beeper, a device that has the same cadence as the conventional beeper but broadcasts a “white-noise, whooshing sound,” says Thalheimer, who has no financial interest in or affiliation with Brigade Electronics, the manufacturer. He explains the sound is still readily audible behind the vehicle and is more easily localizable than a single-tone beeper, but the white noise is masked by community noise, so it is much less annoying to the public."

I'm unfamiliar with L1 and L2 as presented here. Do these both refer to the Bitcoin blockchain?

If so, no. I strongly predict Bitcoin, both the blockchain and the currency will nearly, if not fully, "die," as the Model T and grey phone have. Ethereum is already much better at it's core, and it's not hard to think even Ethereum will be improved upon.

In the long run, literally all bitcoin has is history and name recognition. Like the Model T, you will see it revered like something in a museum, and also just about nobody will actually use it.

> But how is it not the app's fault?

How is it? Like, okay, what's the alternative? I genuinely don't understand the criticism beyond "well, self-described low-status men are getting passed over because people have options." Should they not be getting passed over? Should people be taking one for the team for these self-described low-status men and dating them despite themselves? There have always been lonely people, and some so for good reasons and some for not. I am not sure that there's a way to substantiate that there are proportionally more of the latter group now or that dating apps etc. are accentuating it for this population.

These apps do suck, don't get me wrong--they're gacha games, and they're structured like it--but the mode of criticism matters. As near as I can tell, the It's A Wonderful Life of this is "nothing", not "something theoretically better for self-described low-status men". It's not like people would be going to church to meet and then obligatorily marry Goody Marshall's cousin's son were it not for Tinder.
