A good question that will be answered in a few years. Will the pre-RoeVWade crime rates return to some American states. Rich women in abortion illegal states will still get abortions. Poor women won't.
"Am I asking too much? I want a tablet with high precision drawing and low-latency to take notes about everything"

This is actually quite much.
Low latency means high powered hardware and all of that in a slim, passive cooled fanless design, bundled with the best possible display avaiable. I don't see how one can ask for more ...

(but I actually want the same)
Absolutely, that’s my philosophy too!

I was just watching this one so closely to begin with

Lenovo X1 Fold: it's so small it's always with me. Great keyboard, OLED screen. I use it with a regular Thinkpad bluetooth keyboard for terminal work.

I'm now working on the Linux support now that I got the ACPI S01x fixed under Windows.
Any thoughts on HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL)? I've found it pretty intuitive and sufficiently powerful when needs be.
If it's the majority opinion it should have no problem being passed in federal or state legislature
Industrial production in the USA is near the highest it has ever been. Production has already returned, it's just that all the jobs are very highly automated now. An economy where the majority of jobs are involved in manufacturing is unlikely to ever return.
Git was built with a very specific use case and aimed at an extraordinarily technical subset of users.

It dominated the world despite the UX flaws, which suggests they really aren't that bad.
Period tracking apps haven't been used for prosecution yet, because abortion has been legal. There are now trigger laws in effect in some US states where having an abortion is punished by life imprisonment.

The prosecutors in those states are no-doubt smacking their lips at the idea of using such data to find supporting evidence that a woman had a secret abortion.
>Where I live, public transport is a breeze. Roomy, punctual, good serving frequencies, clean, constantly improving

Can I ask where that is?
It's justified fears. The government has complete control over your body now. Why wouldn't they use apps to regulate you.
HN is well known to have very “proactive” moderation, and as such kill low quality articles. As explained in this whole comment section, dev.to is almost entirely low-quality articles, and as such it’s not unexpected for HN to ban the site altogether.
Yes that is what I'm referring to. But note Oracle has the concept of a single node cluster, so you can have a completely standalone deployment and still perform this technique hot adding a new "node" when it's the same server.
They added vinyl flooring and new appliances right before I moved in. I’m unsure about foam but I can ask. This building is from the 90s if I remember correctly.

Is 300ppb considered low? I am currently keeping the levels below 150ppb by keeping the windows all wide open which is difficult for long with the desert heat.
All those programs have a reputation for being wholly inadequate. Better to let a woman abort a baby she's not prepared for for than tell her "But you will qualify for aid programs!"
Here in the UK the authorities very quickly stopped publishing the raw data when it rather inconveniently started undermining their narrative that the vaccine is the best thing since sliced bread, makes you funnier, sexier and more intelligent, increases your sexual prowess etc etc.
If the data is online or on the servers of a company, it’s available to law enforcement. Any other thought is naive at best or just wrong. If one engages in obscure or (potentially) criminal actions, don’t use public, open communication media. And what is/isn’t criminal is changing.

What was convenient before might be evidence tomorrow.
Impostor Phenomenon: When self-doubt gets the upper hand
It’s a valid concern, if you live in a state that plans to prosecute heavily those who’s pregnancy ends before birth. There are reports on people being prosecuted for miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies.

Main stream media does tend to make things extreme, but I wouldn’t dismiss the possibility of data leakage causing problems for people in tough situations.
Woman have already been prosecuted for miscarriages in the US (e.g. for taking drugs while pregnant), even before this decision. This was on very dubious legal grounds, but with abortions being outlawed entirely the legal situation is entirely different.

Having a database of woman that used to be pregnant, but are no longer would be an obvious way to try and prosecute suspected illegal abortions. And even if the data mining part would not be legal, once you're accused of murder the prosecution would obviously be able to get all your digital data to try and prove you had an abortion.
There was a time when it felt like nobody could learn React without blogging about it.
A question I have for any US HN lawyers is: to what extent can states criminalize/apply civil penalties to extraterritorial actions? That is, can a state make it illegal for a person to have an abortion outside of the territory of that state?

It used to be (and sometimes still is) that people would travel to GB from Ireland to receive abortions, but obviously a different legal system applies when it’s countries rather than states.
There are no sanctions that prevent wire transfers. Only goverment related banks are sanctioned.
Keep things simple and record the conversation. No need for two people.
Prosecutors will need evidence to prosecute unlawful abortions. Recall they have the onus of proving their case beyond reasonable doubt.

A woman's menstrual history is highly probative evidence.

Hardly fear mongering.
Other than playing on people's delusions I think there are people who are lucky enough to be able to get away with doing that and their stories end up at the top of the pile.
You are also going to have to answer the question: why did you choose us? If you are closing a business unit that is easy, but otherwise you will want an answer up front.
IMO not by much. I mean, it catches out and out errors which is something I guess. And it gives some generally applicable feedback about excessive use of passive voice, overly long sentences, etc. But for the most part it doesn't really improve your writing in terms of structure, clarity, etc.
Here's a (imho) pretty neat post on technical writing that was recently linked on HN:

Yes, let's talk about other insane "fearmongering", like women worrying that fetal personhood laws will lead to them getting charged with murder for suffering a miscarriage.

There are so many problems with your statement I don’t even know where to start. It is pointless to debate.

Wow. I need to do this.
I’d say a system not designed to support maintenance is not properly architected. You will need maintenance windows for an individual subsystem to perform OS upgrades, DB upgrades are no different and Postgres upgrades using pg_upgrade are relatively painless, provided you test them first in CI or against production snapshots, something the author’s company seemingly lacks.

I think copyright issues are getting blown out of proportion.

Ethically it is not very different from myself reading books, blogs and other available source codes, and then writing my own program based on whatever I learned.

Legally, IANAL but either the code generated would be novel, common enough or otherwise easily searchable to original source. For case 3, developer can take the call to keep it or not.
Essential Software in Docker Containers
Some of my day-to-day software.

After knowing that saved Chrome passwords and cookies in Linux are not protected against malicious dependencies in our development environment or other apps in our system, I decided to run my core apps in Docker containers, where their data is not accessible without sudo, and a personal understanding of where stuff is being saved.

These docker containers are also an improved version of https://github.com/jessfraz/dockerfiles/

Contrary to the project above, docker-workspaces runs Chrome in a sandbox, encrypts keys with the help of an also dockerized gnome-keychain, and works in tandem with pulseaudio, so you can use wired headphones (i still need to add some dependencies for it to work with bluetooth headphones).
I have failed deeply and fundamentally as a technologist by not being able to explain the technology in plain language.

I now regard it as a minimum bar that I can explain the broad outlines in plain language.

Anyone who can’t is is a fucking fraud.
The two types of creativity that peak at different ages
It's not a completely crazy thing. The Texas legislation provides for civil enforcement-- random litigants can sue providers and recover attorney's fees. Statutes like this tend to encourage all kinds of tomfoolery; asshats could decide on the business plan of A) put up menstrual tracking app that stores data in cloud, B) detect probable abortions in Texas, C) sue providers as John Doe and use discovery to figure out who they are.

Or, Texas could use subpoena power to try and obtain this information from such apps for the purpose of enforcement.

Why is it necessary to measure quality?

Slashdot is around for like decades, a real internet antiquity, and made it without any likes or view counts. Posts that generate a lot of comments are ranked higher, as one can assume it generates more discourse. What else is really needed for a community? Isn't it about sharing knowledge and discussing it?

A front page, as you mentioned it, can consist of either posts that generate a lot of discourse. Or make it simple and just display the latest posts of the people you follow on it.
Meh. That's an argumentation which is just a waste of time. This is a post about Postgres. Thinking about whether or not the title is "fair" towards the software itself is ridiculous and a waste of everyone's time. The title is correct and the software won't feel bad about it. Move on.

ACPI S01x done right is great: it can consume less power than S3 suspend and resume faster! (though after a few weeks, I think your surface may have gone into S4 hibernate)
To clarify what parent poster is saying regarding prosecution: Louisiana introduced legislation to classify abortion as a homicide. Criminal investigations can demand data from period tracking apps.
Sit down with people from the target audience and let them use the thing you are going to write about. Observe where they struggle. Let them articulate what they are doing and why. You wouldn't believe…
Or you can spend some time once to understand how git works, and never run into a similar situation again. git is built on a beautiful and very simple model, and it's easy to unbreak the repository 99% of time if you understand it (and I'm saying this as a very mediocre programmer).
Yes, companies would want domain experts with good coding skills

Basically somebody who "solves company's various problems while using computers to do so"
I got my team on side to use rebase/squash instead of blind merge commits after I showed them how much easier git bisect is to use when you have a linear commit history in your main branch. Now nobody wants to be 'that person' who breaks the bisect feature in case we urgently need it.
The primary author of the text must understand what is to be communicated AT LEAST as well as the target audience. If you are supposed to write a user manual for the next iPhone, the main trick is not technical, but rather to figure out of to structure relatively simple information in a way that even your mother can understand.

Still, it's probably a good idea to have an engineer go over the text after, to make sure there are no glaring errors.

If on, the other hand, you write documentation for Apache Spark, you probably need to be a pretty competent computer scientist, data engineer or data scientist. Maybe a tech writer can go over the text after, but they will probably not be able to understand the content, so can do little beyond formatting, language and structure (and even that needs to be reviewed by a real tech person after).

In the latter case, it may be VERY useful for the tech person to have some formal training in technical writing, in addition to be the kind of engineer that is also pretty good with language and presentation.
SE can always ask domain/subject experts
you are an irrational toxic person who cannot recognize simple patterns.

you have provided zero arguments as to why red states would not use this tool in their arsenal

nobody is saying "the entire prosecution will start and end on somebody missing a period in their all"

but rather, its collaborating evidence that can be used in a multitude of ways
I agree - but the point was about quality, not learning your trade.
Definitely one of the best-written publications out there. Not as "literary" as The New Yorker. But brings in a certain amount of cleverness/humor/storytelling that newspapers (by design) mostly lack outside of feature stories where some of those elements can be overdone.
The main problem with non technical people talking about AI, is that they mainly have no understanding about AI, but everyone has still a strong opinion (or thinks he has to have one)
Missing a period is good evidence of pregnancy.

> fear mongering

This reminds me of crypto scammers accusing their critics of FUD.

Somehow, there are a lot of pompous people on technology websites telling people not to be afraid when fear is fully justified. They've said this about pandemics, crypto scams and terrorism.
This is an idiotic take. Tools that increase efficiency are good actually
I am surprised to see someone else doing this, but I agree it works surprisingly well and one of my favorite tips.
Blogging & measuring average time on page is a great way to see if you're able to write content that's relevant and engaging for readers. Average time on page should be at least 5 minutes for a blog post.

Improving open source project READMEs and documentation is another great way to practice writing.

I am writing an O'Reilly book now and having a professional editor will help you learn the common errors you're making.

You should try to write short paragraphs, short sentences, and at a 4th-6th grade reading level. Good writing for literature is a lot different that good technical writing.

A good novelist may write at a 12th grade reading level, may use complicated words, and will use literary devices like allegory and foreshadowing.

A good technical writer should explain a concept in the most simple way possible. They should explicitly avoid literary devices like foreshadowing - their goal is to explain the concept in a straightforward manner. They should also avoid big words and long sentences. A large portion of technical readers are not native English speakers, so only the most basic words should be used.
In my state (TN) we have a trigger law that makes abortion illegal in 30 days. But because of our crazed leadership they are pushing that forward as fast as they can.

It is not fear mongering to delete something that would let the crazed leadership put you in jail.
America is the best country in the world economically and culturally. Most folk who spout anti-American rhetoric get their news from biased sources and have never been here any length of time. Sure it has its problems like everywhere else but this country is the greatest and I could never imagine living anywhere else. So I’d recommend trying it.

I say all that as a European.
I dislike that approach as it slows down committing. Preferably linter should be integrated in the editor and there should be one in the CI pipeline, but the steps between writing code and pushing it into CI should be as quick and smooth as possible.
> To make it worse, add unbalanced left/right margins.

Along with headers/footers and any number of other features which can make automatic cropping difficult. I tend to read PDFs on KOReader, which is quite good at allowing the reader to zoom in on the page and follow the flow of the text, even on multicolumn documents. Yet there are undeniably limits to what it can do.
Some great ideas here. The problem is that OP works at a dying startup. The practicality of these suggestions is low.
I know there have been several independent "signing services" driven by these type of enterprise certs, and usually when Apple finds out that they've been used like this, they'll revoke them. The only real time I've personally ran into this is when I was away from my computer for an extended period of time and needed to reinstall the on-device jailbreak app (which would have been unc0ver).
At the moment, the best approach would probably be something like the DevTerm, with pluggable compute modules. The RPi 4 CM connectors are compatible with a number of different modules (RPi and Pine64 being at the top of my head) and the DevTerm has a carrier board for them.

If the Pine64 folks decide to resurrect their laptop with one using a CM4 connector, it'll be immediately very upgradable.

Extra points if it has an extra CM4 connector for a laptop-internal network. This way you could have RISC-V and ARM64 (or anything else) immediately available.

On that, I heard someone is thinking about a replacement motherboard with a CM4 plug for the Framework laptop. I'd love that too.
I wanted <feature> (now lost to the mists of time), but was on Ubuntu 18.04, which only has postgresql-10. So I installed Postgres (13 or 14, I believe) from a PPA and happily used it.

When I finally went to upgrade Ubuntu, do-release-upgrade literally bailed out because Postgres was installed[1]. So my choices were: uninstall Postgres for the upgrade, or do something like containerize it. I decided I had had enough problems with non-standard repos and Ubuntu upgrades (e.g. a ton of pain with upgrades of Unifi Contoller + MongoDB + Ubuntu), and containerized it. In comparison to my upgrade to 20.04, my upgrade to 22.04 was much cleaner.

If you're going to tell me I should have used VMs or some hosted services, yes, thank you, I don't have the hardware to do so at home and I didn't want to spend more money on the cloud.

There are use cases for containers that have nothing to do with chasing buzzwords.

They're not safer, though.
All of this post is pure speculation with zero evidence to support it.
You can still use dry wall later and if you use decent noise dampening and insulation between two layers of drywall, it should work.

It will be expensive for sure though. I think huge building with electrical wiring, plumbing (including waste?) and networking at every pillar, and independent ductwork/sensors for climate control from the to be drop ceiling so I can essentially remodel however I want for the next owner sounds like a dream but a very expensive dream.
This is exactly how things should work. If you don't like the politics of one state, you should move to another state. States should retain authority over their laws not enumerated in the constitution. The diversity of states, some with weed, some with no income tax, some with abortion, some with an oil stipend, is a great thing. Hopefully most companies end up supporting this
Brilliant! Much appreciated, thank you.

At the end of the day, all decisions related to AI generated content, no matter if its code, art, text or something else, will favor big corporations.

If I take a dataset of public available images of Disney characters, which are obviously copyrighted, and train a model to generate new characters, they will sue me until they find a judge that rules I infringed their copyright just by using their copyrighted work, even if the result does not have any similarity with the copyrighted work.

But if a big corporation take a copyrighted public dataset to train a model, and this model start to regurgitate exactly copies of the copyrighted work, which apparently is the case of Github Co-pilot, in the case of a lawsuit, the big corporation will spend money until they find a judge that rules their use of the copyrighted work as fair use.

So, at the end, any decision will benefit big corporations.

The real question is if people will make big corporations fight for their victory or if people will let them win easily.
Tell HN: Measuring DoT/DoH Blocking Using OONI Probe: A Preliminary Study
>Maria Xynou https://ooni.org (openobservatory.org) - Fri Jun 17 12:39:52 UTC 2022

Hello Tor folks,

I'm reaching out to share the following which may be of interest:

Last year, OONI wrote a research paper, Measuring DoT/DoH Blocking Using OONI Probe: A Preliminary Study

Which was presented at the Network and Distributed System Security Symposium (NDSS'21) as part of the DNS Privacy Workshop

You can read this paper here: https://www.ndss-symposium.org/wp-content/uploads/dnspriv21-02-paper.pdf

This study involves an investigation of encrypted DNS (DoT & DoH) blocking in Kazakhstan, Iran, and China

with a new OONI Probe experiment (DNSCheck).

Today, we're publishing a blog post with a summary of findings (and video presentation)

: https://ooni.org/post/2022-doh-dot-paper-dnsprivacy21/

You can also find a summary of findings through this Twitter thread:

(Nitter : https://nitter.net/OpenObservatory/status/1537764247442268161 )

You can help contribute measurements on encrypted DNS blocking by running OONI Probe: https://ooni.org/install

Thanks, Maria.<
More often than not I want a “increase margin” rather than crop margin. iOS Safari and Preview even on 12.9” iPad do not support shrink the page less than device width. Large margin makes my life comfortable.
It doesn’t sound solid reading the author’s post.

- EFI didn’t work.

- The camera doesn’t work.

- The SSD is too small so needed to be topped up with a MicroSD (awful).

- Not lap-friendly for travelling (type cover).

- Windows 11 needed to be kept around despite not being used (and sometimes rewrote the boot menu, if I’m reading this correctly).

This sounds like a downright painful experience. I’m not sure why you’d want this, and it sounds like the author might be trying to force a tablet to be a laptop when they’d have just been better of with a laptop to begin with.
The heart is fundamentally a pump. Are we not able to build a replacement? I understand it’s not simple at all, and that people have tried and failed in the past, but is an artificial heart something that we should be able to build?
