That's because they can't tell.

The alternative is many people's experience with a denial of service by a faceless fintech or paypal when they actually need it.

Since Walmart was the readily available trading depot, manual reviews would waste too much time. They couldn't tell the difference between someone churning for credit card signup bonuses, someone that was actually the victim of a bounced check scam and didn't know it yet as they were sending a money order for the difference as instructed by their scammer, or an actual member of a drug gang intentionally being a money mule from a drug transaction.
They surely have their own technical problems, but AppImages that maintain themselves are particularly friendly as well.

It's about as similar to the 'download untrusted software, double click to run it, and hope/pray/assume it handles updates itself' workflow found elsewhere as you can get.

I have several non-technical family members using Linux. They don't struggle getting software at all, regardless of it not being just-like-others.

There's software portals just like the stores on other platforms and they generally bridge the gap between packages/containers well.

Nobody installs from archives like Slackware anymore, or they shouldn't.
Yes, cold starts are definitely a problem. One of the advantages of VPSes is its all hot, ready to go, obviously. You pay for that performance, for that lower latency, and I'm fine with that.

My big problem with lambda / serverless is the developer experience is pretty awful. The time between making a change, deploying, and seeing the result of that change is slow. You can work around this (with tools like localstack), but it's often not close enough to the real environment. You'll still waste tons of time debugging permissions issues when you do a real deploy.
Author seems to tie things off after the C64 era, but the 6502 had a lot more to give. The penultimate video gaming on the 6502 is IMHO the Atari Lynx. 6502 + almost Amiga-esque (David Morse of Amiga fame was involved) custom graphics processor that could do 4096 colours, unlimited sprites, hardware multipliers and dividers, bunch of custom processing stuff to augment the CPU

The combination of the excellent interrupt responsiveness of the 6502 with a display chip of that caliber is pretty cool. Too bad it wasn't a market success really.

The SNES is also pretty damned amazing (yeah, 65816, but close enough)
You definitely can. I used to say "maybe not in the sfbay area" where all of the opportunities have been mined, but, no, there are still opportunities for MS even there. Outside of sfbay the sky's the limit.
Social media. Can my kids have a healthy relationship with it?

On the one hand, I'm inclined to just ban it. On the other hand, if every kid at school is connecting via TikTok, I wouldn't want my child to feel disconnected from their peers.

But I really worry. TikTok seems to provide kids with ready access to topics which they are not ready for, pedalled by adults who should know better.

Different category of content, but kinda funny in a despairing way. My wife is a teacher and said a recent TikTok challenge was to take a shit and smear it on a wall. And kids were literally doing it. And sharing it on TikTok!
Per Cal. Gov't Code § 6253(a)

And indeed, it's when you mention the fact that UBCs require a gun registry to be enforceable that people really start opposing them. (The current background check system was passed with the compromise that it wouldn't be used to make a gun registry though the ATF, and in fact the ATF was not allowed to digitize records for exactly this reason. The ATF appears to have begun ignoring this deal in recent years, though)
wow. That's really cool collection. Thank you for sharing.
In which countries can the government build housing more cheaply and efficiently than the private sector?
Right, right. Guns are absolutely about power. What is interesting to me about this difference between us is that I really, really want people to have that power: I think it is very important that regular people have this "violent potential" as you put it. Having the potential is obviously not the same as deploying it, but having it still matters very much.

Most people are good, trustworthy, and deserving of this power. A few people are not, but taking power away from regular people really won't do so much to help them. In fact, at the end of the day, all it does is force them to become like children, dependent on someone else -- or really, a special class of person, since people absolutely should work together -- for their own security.

"Society" is really nothing more than these people: those that choose "cooperate". It's not the same thing as the "political system" or even the "rule or law". Some people choose "defect", and view the cooperators as prey. Correct me if I misunderstand, but it seems to me, that out of fear of defectors, you want to take power from cooperators and give it to a sanctioned, "regulated" class of people. Presumably because you think you would be safer.

I think you can imagine why this would be ill-considered. If you are concerned about "equality", it's hard for me to imagine a more unequal state. We've basically arrived again at a medieval distinction between peasants, warriors, and priests. Who keeps your warriors in check? The unarmed peasants? The priests with their "regulations"? I'm guessing you are more of a priestly type. I would caution you, your magic is not as strong as you think it is, and it doesn't seem to work at all on the bandits.

It's a bad idea to dox gun owners, but I personally would be very pleased to learn that my neighbors are well armed. I already know a lot of them are. Perhaps you would not be. But if not, consider that you might need better neighbors or maybe a better relationship with them.
That probably depends a lot more on her previous title than the consulting title.

I could definitely imagine scenarios where a meeting-heavy middle/upper management job pays quite a bit more than consulting.
Agreed, but a fairer comparison would be SQLite vs PostgreSQL installed on the same machine.
This concern
> opposed to turning private companies into arms of federal law enforcement agencies.

does not explain this policy

> “If you suspect fraud, complete the transaction.”

Sure it does. It's not Walmart's job to investigate fraud or any other crime. Their cashier's aren't trained in jurisprudence. And, frankly, a corporate policy of "deny service to customers who you suspect might be up to no good" is just a few racist employees away from another shit show entirely.
If we want to subject payment processors—or social media—to the common carrier standard, then obviously, they can’t deny services to anyone who isn’t violating the law. Having politics Visa, Mastercard, or Stripe doesn’t like isn’t illegal.

The point I’m making is that I don’t think it’s hypocritical to suggest that such a standard applies to some companies, not all companies, which is what your original post seemed to suggest. I’d personally want to set the bar pretty high when it comes to taking away any business’s right to choose their own customers.
The general definition is, theft is when nobody is home. Theft is to steal stealthily without the owner the wiser.

Robbery is to steal under threat of force. Give me your wallet or I break your knee caps. That's a robbery.

You don't "rob" when nobody is home.
I host projects on my own computer, usually using Fossil. I also mirror them on Chisel, too. (I do not use git, and I do not have an account on GitHub.)

I sometimes mention them on IRC and other stuff (and I have my own NNTP server), but would want to have some better way too. I would hope that others (who are interested in these kind of things) can join too, in order to help with this projects too, and to learn about them, possibly someone else can make something (and/or learning) too.

I also mentioned them before on Hacker News too, but had hardly gotten any response from that.
It’s astounding that someone new to Linux has to wrap their head around all of that. It actually kind of makes it like a cool, secret club.
ML was not the focus of the company, we didn't really have any qualified devs to pull off a project like that. It became a prototype for a sales pitch and I don't know what happened to it after. Though I disagree about it not being a complicated/difficult endeavour.
Onion domains will never be good for anonymity. too big of a surface area, too much potential leakage somewhere
The ancestor comment was complaining about the poor experience of installing a downloaded Linux desktop application.

Yes, the reasons for why it's more complicated on Linux are varied, the fragmentation of the desktop Linux ecosystem might be the other main factor.

However I think comparing the status quo between each OS is fair.

Appimage seems cool, I don't have experience with it, so I can't speak to how well it works.
This is an excellent resource.

I recently stumbled on an 'egg collection' for wood. This is almost literally what it sounds like - a huge collection of images of egg-shaped pieces of timber, that really shows off the colour and grain. A focus on Australian timbers, of course, but that's no bad thing as we're otherwise often poorly represented.

The difference is that power companies aren't liable when their services are used to distribute child porn. This is the problem with cancel culture. Without any external pressure, there is no reason for Visa and Mastercard to care about regulating porn at all because that's creating an unnecessary cost center for the sole purpose of rejecting revenue sources. In these sort of cases, a group of busybodies, which can be anyone from politicians to keyboard warriors, want to cancel something, but are too uncreative and lazy create a set of standards and moderate the content themselves. Instead, they choose to pressure those in their reach to act, which in this case is Visa and Mastercard. This way, Visa and Mastercard receive all the backlash to the rules instead of themselves. Don't blame the companies for responding to market incentives. Blame the people who are creating them. This applies basically for all forms of internet censorship (e.g. Youtube).
His argument about employment is weird. I am 99% sure he could get paid more with less lead-chasing if he worked for one or more tech companies as a researcher, analyst, or developer. Maybe his consulting work is more fun and interesting, but “agency over income” is doubtful.
On the surface, I agree. However, tech work usually involves intellectual property and sometimes non-disclosure agreements. Also, many employee contracts will explicitly prohibit other working arrangements (salaried or not). That said, I applaud anyone who can get away with it. The down side seems minimal.

You are correct. It is an unregulated oligopoly. It is based on the widely distributed nature of the business. Long distance movers usually pick up in smaller trucks, consolidate into large vans(the loads are usually far smaller than the cargo limit of ~42,000 pounds, since furniture is very low density.
They wrap and label with bar coded labels and send to the closets major depot in suburbia when it goes into smaller trucks that fit cities better.
A huge number of people use rented trucks/trailers. Usually corporate moves are handled by one of the big ones who have high fees because their trucks waste a lot of time unused because they can not carry those 42,000 pound loads.
The best way to move is buy a number of of gaylord boxes. (the name comes from Gaylord Container Company who invented them waaaay back) https://blog.containerexchanger.com/the-gaylord-box-everythi...
They are also called triwalls.
Get as many as you need for the move. Make sure your stuff fits fill them all with your stuff and then skid them and strap them down. Call them plastic pellets.
Pellets are low value, and can not be broken. Value them as $4 per pound. This gets you a low rate.
I once shipped 2 gaylords of household goods etc from Buffalo NY to San Diego CA for $1000.
Movers wanted $4000 - sure they would go door to door, and unpack, but to save $3000 - I will do that.
Kudos to Thunderbird for being the only reliable Windows email client to get S/MIME certificates right. A feature that no current webmail implemented.
Regulators are hired by and largely follow directions set by politicians, so ultimately it is the fault of politicians in any case.

How Phoenix is dealing with climate change
I want to see events, and then when I click on that event, I want an autogenerated blurb kind of like the autotldr bot on reddit, then I want to see all related article titles sorted by quality(Not sure how to quantify this though. Least clickbaity headline, most informative article, etc etc).

I'd also like events to not appear until either X amount of articles about them, OR X amount of time has passed. I'd rather be slightly delayed and read something informative than see 2 dozen first-to-be-printed articles with no substance.

Then I'd be happy to swipe away the event, and everything related to it, like you describe.
I know absolutely nothing about the subject but I would at least run nginx and tor in a docker container. Make sure no traffic comes out of the container on my public ip. Wouldn’t solve every problem but seems like it would solve…a lot of them?
That and I could move it around a lot. Not sure if that’s good opsec or bad though lol.
It's kind of an open secret that the space shuttle payload bay dimensions were specified to fit the satellites the NRO used[1]. Similarly, the Hubble Space Telescope is widely acknowledged to be based on the KH-11 Kennen, and the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is unused NRO hardware from the Future Imagery Architecture[2]

The more we assume that everyone is using the big email providers, the more it becomes a reality. And everyone agrees that a centralized Internet controlled by only a few companies is one of the worst case scenarios.

I have no certainty at all that any of those free providers use encryption at rest. How would they mine the messages for data to sell? And, cloud compute is expensive, and disk encryption takes more CPU cycles. Why would they spend that money? SMTP connections are more visible so it makes sense to use that from a marketing standpoint.
Packaging software for Windows is clearly a pain, because every time I install a game I get a download, followed by a launcher, followed by one or several MSVC++ runtimes, then another download, then some kind of extraction phase, a restart and then a menu. Unless I'm one of the first people to download the game, of course, because then I get a popup stating that the file I downloaded can't be trusted and that I should delete it.

It's an automated Rube Goldberg machine. Linux used to have these as well! I remember clearly the hacky automated Java 6 install script and the VirtualBox drivers that came as a several executable hundred megabytes in size.

You can static link if you want. You need to watch out for core system libraries like glibc (just like you need to watch out for Win7/8.1/10/11 on Windows) but that's about it.

Packaging for Linux is easy. You can even automatically test if your packages work on different distributions! You can read about it here: https://appimage-builder.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro/tuto...

I can't download the PDF but if I remember right the table in question is somewhere in the 50s or 60s. You can ctrl+f for it. It breaks down by suspect race and weapon type when police arrive on scene.

The third side nobody wants to talk about in this argument is that police disproportionately use force against suspects with weapons when they arrive on scene.
You'd be surprised how targeted these scams can be.

A friend's mother got an email from her synagogue, with the rabbi's name and everything, asking her to buy some gift cards to surprise some other (named) officials.
And with respect to you- we'll see. That particular line of argument is relatively recent and novel and "original"- in the creative sense, not in the originalist sense- and I have hope that one way or another the "plain meaning" that was dominant for 200 years prior to Scalia's and others inventions will return. Cheers.
How does private gun ownership check the government?

How would the government act differently if citizens owned fewer or different or no guns? Where does the fantasy that the everyone is out to get you and you had better be armed and ready come from? Cowboy movies? The whole idea of the cowboy is myth[0].

If you want to see real power hungry government in action, don’t think SWAT coming for you, look at the Missouri State Health director keeping a spreadsheet of women’s menstrual cycles, in order to make sure that if any became pregnant the state could intercede [1].

If you’re reading HN, you’re probably some kind of engineer. So tell me, how is a problem which is itself generated by the accumulation of brute power solved by a countervailing accumulation of brute power? Which then just becomes an arms race. Which is objectively insane. It is an infinite loop. How do you break it?

The exchange support for Evolution never worked well for me. There was always something that didn't sync, didn't get detected, or wasn't supported.

I don't blame the devs, Exchange is a proprietary standard so you can't expect it to work well. It's like the reverse-engineered drivers for hardware the manufacturer doesn't bother to write Linux support or sufficient documentation for: it doesn't work great, but that's despite the devs' best effort, not because of it.
Not really.

AppImages still dynamically link to libc. They don't work on Alpine and Android. They'll probably break on distros that are built years apart from when the AppImage is too.

Just stop distributing binaries, it's unprofessional.

Sorry yes I overreacted to the first sentence without understanding the tone.

I think it's unfortunate anyone offers .deb (or similar) downloads really - the many Linux distros don't have a single packaging mechanism, so why pretend they do, or that your app's not going to work on the ones you don't provide?

Just say it's built for Linux, perhaps here's a binary, here's the source if available, this is the preferred name, go and check your package manager.
Obligatory: Does it work with org-mode?
I mean at this point we’re crossing over into conspiracy theory territory, but I think the most realistic scenarios are where we are doing things that are on the edge of what’s possible.

For example we probably don’t have anti-gravity, or anything that’s a huge leap from our understanding of the laws of physics. But the military may have single-stage hypersonic aircraft and spacecraft, and are keeping it close to their chest, while putting on a “show” with far less capable demonstrators as a fake out.
This is a solved problem with modern cryptography. Governments just don't want to implement a cryptographic scheme like this, given the side-benefits of a registry for future confiscation, red-flagging, etc.

They are only viable when paired with other systems to make up for the times when the sun is not shining or the wind is not blowing within spec.

A system like this makes a nice pairing, but then you need double the capacity of intermittent since when it is working it needs to not only feed the load, it also needs to feed the storage.

It's not long term storage, though, like diesel, gas, coal. Those can sit around for a really long time.

EDIT

Actually, since the system is 75% efficient, you will need more than double the intermittents.
