> It feels like an abstraction above every other systems we have today, except any provider would still need to support both this and the underlying actual protocol

It is an abstraction. As to the burden of 'providers', when one reads about the principles of DID design one finds a deliberate bias toward the identity side (person, thing, etc.): All the subject needs is their DID and to (somehow) verify that it represents their identity. Whatever backend providers inflict upon themselves to deal with that is their problem. This mentality is intended to make coping with identity easy for the 'I' (identity) party.
Zero added sweetener, straight Greek yoghurt. Absolutely sublime.

To the typical North American diet it tastes incredibly foreign because the US of A is drenched in sweeteners.

But unsweetened foods just taste beautiful once you get used to them.

Dutch cities looked a lot more like American cities pretty recently, and American cities were full of smog pretty recently too. You can change a lot in a decade or three.
It's not scientific literature, but I got the inspiration from the book "Pragmatic Thinking and Learning".
I've found it's taken ages for the various makers to come around to the fact that you have to compete on taste, otherwise none of this is worth buying.

There's finally a few (e.g, Violife) who have started to get close. Kite Hill's almond ricotta is probably 1:1 for me and I eat it when I find it on sale.

I think if you're after "luxury" cheese (the kind you might enjoy with a bottle of wine) it's harder, but for day to day cheese you throw on a sandwich/tacos/whatever it's passable.

(My two cents, of course - everyone tastes different, and you should eat real cheese if that's what you want)
> It used to just be that "arguing in good faith" was what "steelmanning" is today

Isn't steelmanning the practice of actively making your opponent's argument for them? This exercise goes beyond arguing in good faith, where you are arguing your own side, but in a way that doesn't strawman the other side.
But what was the agenda that it was pushing for the audiences watching it at the time it was released?
I had an android phone about 5 years ago that could pick up over-the-air video broadcasts using the headphones as the antenna.
After extensive experience with SAML and other specs, I don't think it's better than SAML in a fundamental way. It's certainly better in that it doesn't require a mind-numbingly verbose blob of XML, but strip away the XML and all that verbosity, and you basically end up with... kerberos.
I once had an insanely important job interview where I pronounced “fstab” as “F Stab” not “FS Tab.”
Have heard of this for birds, but not cats. Perhaps the cats learned from the birds, this article says it's been going on a long time. Causes prey to run away from the fire tho, it may be that actually getting caught in a fire and cooked is a rare occasion (rarer still, not being burnt to a crisp in the process, the key to cooking is to take it off the fire!)

Unless I'm mistaken, Thunderbolt is fiber optic; if it's fiber optic, it shouldn't be generating any EM or RF interference.

That paints a really vivid picture. I can anticipate it playing out just like that.

The medium is the message so to speak.
> I mean, c'mon, here's a simple X11 "any app can read out the contents of any other window" solution: add access controls to Xorg so that they can't.

This exists and is called XSECURITY. It breaks everything, so nobody uses it. Also, nobody thinks Xorg is secure against RCE from hostile clients: the code is just too old and brittle.
Good. The rankings are really, really destructive.
> It's futile because the future universe of DID methods can't be anticipated now, so whatever wrong set of DID methods W3 promulgated would include both poor choices and omit good choices

Or maybe it's just too soon to try to carve a "standard" into the w3c process stone. A half-baked protocol is worse than no protocol at all.
I don't think the art direction is bad. But to my eyes it looks cheap and/or lazy. Like a phone game (or, honestly a decent Flash animation from 2010).

I think you hit the nail on the head. Gilbert has grumped for 20+ years about finally making the game he wants. But some of the magic looks to be missing.

Still, I will give him the benefit of the doubt. I am definitely going to buy the game.
Definitely a masterpiece! I love this series. It's a wonderful blend of Ender's Game, cognitive science, and wizardly tomfoolery.

Readers loved it so much that an entire cast of volunteers banded together as voice actors to make an audiobook podcast out of it. [0]

Then, so many people listened to that and loved it, that folks even did an analysis podcast talking about the story chapter by chapter! [1]

And then, people did an analysis podcast of the analysis podcast! [2]

Anyone who hasn't read or listen to HPMoR should definitely give it a try.

Google is running a robotaxi service in SF though. Just not that one.

Surprisingly I always see them testing in Los Altos. Surely that place has the most rich busybodys of all, and yet they haven't been sued for causing traffic or something.
Most non-academic arguments resolve to value differences, not false assumptions. And people often feel very vulnerable when they feel like somebody’s making an effort to expose and challenge their values.

Much of the time, the nonsense is there to keep things civil: you rehash tired tropes to talk around the issue for a while, get tired, and then somebody buys the next round of beers.
I posted a SpaceX live feed launch on my work Slack channel, pretty close to the end, and when it ended it redirected to one of those crypto scams and someone complained I posted a crypto scam on the channel.

To be fair to the person a lot of people open things in a tab and look at them later.
Apple’s former securities lawyer pleads guilty for doing the insider trading he
No lasting effects but it was only a year ago so who knows - my completely amateur take is you've got to balance the payoff with the risk - in your case the payoff of getting rid of a skin condition that's been plaguing me for years seems like a fair trade for the risk of the antibiotics if I were in your shoes... it's not like you didn't try to let your body resolve it on its own (since you've had it for years)
Godwin's Law of HN, soon enough someone will chime in that European Regulators should force someone to do something for the dubious good of the public
If you’re using chicken nuggets as the example you’re way off. Every vegetarian and vegan swears by Morning Star buffalo nuggets and the Gardein Ultimate Nuggets are better than chicken.

You’re right about a lot of veggie substitutes but nuggets are one of the cases where it is just as good.
Minecraft content creator Technoblade has died
The objections by Mozilla & Google make sense if you assume by denying their requests that the methods should be define prior to moving forward, but to me, the core as defined is more than enough to move forward and the next step is to define the methods.

Worst case, the core is flawed and the specs are revised to align to what has been learned flushing out the methods or it is abandoned for whatever reason. Mozilla & Google saying they object based on everything not being defined sounds like the opposite of progress to me.

The core already lays out specs for methods and clearly they’re good enough for other workgroups to already be moving forward refining methods for specific use cases. Here’s an example:

https://identity.foundation/peer-did-method-spec/

If there’s an significant issue with moving forward, I am not understanding it.

Relevant to the techies here, machine learning in archeology sounds like an interesting niche:

> Recently, we developed a spectroscopic “thermometer” based on Raman spectroscopy and deep learning (DL) algorithms to estimate the exposure of flint artifacts to heat, independent of visual indications of heat exposure [...]

> Temperatures were estimated using a 1D-CNN and a fully connected artificial neural network (FC-ANN), as described elsewhere. When compared to FC-ANN (20), the 1D-CNN model reduces the mean absolute error (MAE) between the true and estimated temperatures on the validation experiment from 118 to 103 °C
I had that issue as well. Wish I had a good solution for you but I ended up replacing it with a logitech K860. If they offered this in a tenkeyless variety it would be perfect, but I do really like that it can do bluetooth with my tablet so I don't have to use the on-screen keyboard if I'm at my desk.

and I haven't had ANY of the latency or key repeating that I had with the Sculpt.

This is correct, and is in fact more worrying than simply a bad implementation.

If there was a bad implementation, it could be fixed. Wayland, on the other hand, does not even specify a way to do things like screen recording, screen capture, automation software (e.g. wmctrl), or other miscellaneous screen features (e.g. Redshift) which effectively means that there is no way to do these things at all.

The official Wayland response is that these features need to be implemented by the individual window managers, but the absence of a standard or protocol specifying them means that (a) many window managers will not implement them and (b) those that do will do so in incompatible ways. Which means that a program like a screen recorder, that was previously agnostic to window managers, now must explicitly support each window manager separately, and even then it may not be possible to use everywhere.

X was a gargantuan mess, and it had to go. The by cutting it out, we've also cut out the only commonality, the lowest common denominator software, sitting between widget libraries and the video drivers. There is now no common interface to access a wide variety of important system functions, and no one has a plan going forward. Wayland refuses to step up.
I think you're largely missing the point of this article, which mostly summarizes a novel technique for comparing gut biome diversity, and which goes through a small amount of effort to summarize the growing (if not clearly established) scientific consensus about the importance of healthy gut biomes.

I don't think it takes very much imagination to understand why the loss of diversity in an ecosystem might have negative implications for that ecosystem.

For whatever it's worth to you, Science magazine is a companion to the extremely prestigious Science Journal and it often tries to summarize the research in the journal. The tiniest amount of searching shows that the biologist whose work is being summarized a
is one of the leading experts in this area.
No and no?

Unless I'm _really_ misreading the article or your comment I think you're misinterpreting what's happening here.

IIS a webserver that gets packaged with most versions of Windows.

Once attackers gain access to a system through some exploit or another they're leveraging IIS to create a persistent and alternative entry point into the system (a "backdoor").

SessionManager is the name of one piece of malware that does this but it's emblematic of a recent trend of using IIS once you gain access to a system.

There's nothing to be patched because there's nothing built into IIS and it's not deliberate by Microsoft in the way that "Increase in Android Malware" wouldn't be deliberate by Google.
Spot on. The list at https://www.w3.org/TR/did-spec-registries/#did-methods tells you everyone who hopes to cash in.

the overwhelming majority of cheese I eat is old cheddar or mozzarella, and I haven't seen a vegan cheese does a simulation of either worth talking about. Cooking them is even worse, while cooking cheddar or mozza is great.

It's just not the same.
doesn't seem too likely, a trademark at $1 million, means if you are the current owner, you'd be out of pocket $10k, and if it is worth 1 million, that shouldn't be a problem. The troll would be out $1 million. Having paid $990k to the current owner. Not that I think it's a good idea....but it's an interesting idea :)
Consumers are much less able to analyse transitive goods than the ability of producers to play around with them, that's the entire rationale of consumer protection laws.
Having participated in some controlled burns, I'd say it's actually pretty common (at least in prairie ecosystems). Have seen a variety of small, cooked mammals.

Fossil does not call it the "deck format", although libfossil and Generalized Fossil both do so. The /raw interface allows accessing a raw file (including decks) by its hash or branch name, over HTTP(S).

See [0] for the Fossil deck format. (Generalized Fossil uses the same format, but any combination of cards is allowed, as long as there is exactly one Z card, and not more than one W card; they must still be in the correct order with no duplicates. There are many other details too (e.g. "subrepositories", which can allow you to optionally make decks unparseable in some subrepositories), most of which will not be mentioned in this comment, but I will say that it is mostly a superset of the ordinary Fossil format, except that ordinary Fossil allows cards to be in the wrong order in some circumstances (specifically, technote edits in some versions) that Generalized Fossil does not allow.)

See [1] for an example of the /raw interface (in this case, a mirror of one of my own projects; however, this will work on any publicly accessible Fossil repository). The name "trunk" at the end of the URL is the branch name; you can compute the SHA-1 hash of the returned file and substitute that in place of the word "trunk", and you will get a permanent link to that version. The lines starting with F are the files in that version; each line has the file name, and then the hash, and sometimes another field specifying file mode ("x" means executable). Substituting the hash of the file in the end of the URL will access the contents of that file. The line starting with P has the hash of the previous version; you can put that in the URL to access the previous version.

(In at least one case, I have used this /raw capability to download a single version of a Fossil repository. It is a simpler interface than using /xfer, if you do not have Fossil installed on your computer.)

Super late, but just got a chance to take a look -- maybe worth a mention that it's started by you folks over at EDB!

Feels like all the Postgres enterprises are making kubernetes operators these days -- probably seeing it as a way to stay in the game/relevant.

Just like before when I benefited from EDBs contributions to pg as a whole (and advancing the cause of pg), I look forward to benefiting again!
To me, vim has never been emacs. I run two plugins, vdebug and MRU (most recently used list... super useful). Everything else is out of the box. I like where neovim is going, I think it's great, but vim is fine for me.
I just checked the repo[0], and it says Bram has authored 95% of all commits to Vim. To say "the community owns Vim" when they've done ~5% of the work reminds me of group projects in school where one person does all the work and everyone else claims credit.

An excellent technology. But truthfully if you want to apply that level of filtering, X11 is a more constrained language with more conventional app behavior and it's easier to protect via stateful inspection than arbitrary syscall filtering.
i try to learn x11, is hell, i realy try im tech savvy but god sake.
is this problem difficult hell yea, but heavens x11 makes 10x more complex that should be.
with X, the resource being served is your eyes.

That is not the only instance of "well this was technically correct but confusing and now its Enshrined and May never be Touched all Hail Compatibility" or whatever the impulse for wart retention is.

However the whole mess goes to show to me that there is no one true Display System and that there need to be more efforts in this arena, obviously there's still unfilled needs and people feel the compromised currently forced by the available choices are constricting.

OpenGL needs yet another networking extension. That'll fix it.
On second reading with that background knowledge, the crypto pedigree reveals itself: "decentralized", "distributed", "independently of any centralized registry", "distributed ledger", "non-registry based", etc...

It all makes sense now! It's yet another attempt at making Web 3.0 happen.

Sigh...

I don't know, the latest generation of fake chicken nuggets are remarkably close to the real thing, and frankly I prefer them considering the horrible practices around industrial chicken farms.
From the same post:

> In fact both sets of options were cancelled in March 2003 before they were exercised.

So I guess it’s irrelevant?
They can both be true. It's can be easy to make the switch and still difficult to convince people to do it if the alternatives are simply crappier.
It was a used car and the dealer was not Tesla.
If you ask your opponent, "Just so I understand, are you saying ___?", they'll usually help you understand what they're claiming. People generally like to be heard and understood, even if they violently disagree with you.

There's the occasional troll who is intentionally wasting your time, but I find that to be pretty rare, especially on HN. People are most often just bad at communication, not malicious.
Vegan meat products advertise that they are plant based. They are trying to taste, feel, and look like meat products because people like that.

lest us not forget the years of good hardwork of the openoffice patchset, i think it was called Go-OO that was basically a bunch of package maintainers trying to keep OO running. That became the eventual basis for LO.
I think you're deliberately missing my point, which is that to take your position literally you have to think 2A was about making a rule to keep only a state-run organization armed right after they had just fought (and won) a war of independence using, among others, individuals and "unorganized, independent militia" and the weapons they personally owned. It truly strains credulity to think the Founders sat down and wrote with that intent. Plus, you can actually just go back and read what they wrote about their reasoning back then if you want. It's all in the public record. That it took the Court this long to actually have to say it is more a function of the deliberate gaslighting that's taken place in the 20th century to convince people this right never existed. Even in Dred Scott Chief Justice Taney noted that if African slaves were given citizenship they'd be allowed to "keep and carry arms wherever they want".

It is not hard to think of examples where steelmanning would not be worthwhile, such as when someone thinks an entire group of people is inferior. And unfortunately these types of views underly a surprisingly large number of political opinions these days.
Link doesn't really exist too strongly now. If companies can buy and sell trademarks--and give them to companies which may make inferior or different products-- then already the consumer's needs are not forefront.
I'm aware, but GraalVM isn't "the JVM" (HotSpot) and Valhalla hasn't shipped yet.

I mean, a poorly-detected virus has always been one that doesn't get caught by many detectors. It's normally a call for other vendors to pay more attention to it and implement detection.

If you have literally no idea what a good or bad answer even looks like, it's not time to standardize it at this sort of formal level yet.

Beyond that, some of this is just odd.
" It's harmful because whatever future methods might emerge will relegated to a second class for having failed to 'get in' on the initial standard."

Good. We can deal with that in v2.0.

Trying to design this kind of thing to anticipate every possible future good thing that might come along is a folly.
If you can't standardize them yet because you don't even know, then i go back to the first sentence i wrote :)

Beyond that, your optimism in what will happen (shakeout of bad ideas and then harmonious replacement with standards) seems ... mostly misplaced.

Assume it takes off - what will instead happen is that you will be stuck supporting tons of non-standard methods developed between now and when anyone standardizes them forever. It will likely hamstring your future development as well. I cite as evidence - literally the history of everything :)

There was 100% no reason to standardize this now other than wanting to feel good about themselves. It isn't needed to push forward. It should have waited until someone had any idea what good looks like.
I only recently learned that /usr was an acronym and not just a shortening of "user". Are we supposed to say each letter??? I've been pronouncing it as "user" this whole time!

That's not what's at issue? How are you getting there. It's about who gets to decide the rules, legislatures or the court. Dunno about you, but that seems like a good question to get settled.
That's not misleading labeling, and the naming is intended to explain what it's attempting to mimic. Many consumers appreciate that and use it as a signal when shopping.
Ask HN: Is bias always intentional?
On one hand, if you have a bias against someone or something, it could be seen as intentional or a bad attribute. But, it could also be a one sided opinion that becomes harder to reject with time?
