Hi Eurleif, Peter(author) here.. Essentially - for most folks - it's very difficult to find Vidalias at the grocery. If they do, the quality isn't to their liking. And ultimately, my customer want to ensure they're buying genuine Vidalias, as a lot of places mis-mark other 'sweet' onions as Vidalia, and they're not (so they're hot, pungent, etc). Hope that helps!

> The state should work to move benefits away from the employer employee relationship rather then make damn sure you need to work until you die to keep benefits. In a lot of ways it really feels like CA is just trying to offload their job onto private companies.

Almost every society wide issue in the US follows the same formula because voters will always vote for lower taxes and this can be done by outsourcing the obligation to non governments and/or means testing it so certain portions of the population benefit and others do not.

And then you play politics with it for the next 50 years because any solution will have to take from one portion of the population to give to another.

A universal benefit from the beginning would be ideal and avoid all this, but is politically impossible because the politician proposing it will never be elected due to higher taxes now. Education, healthcare, quality of life at work, etc.
I've been abusing HTTP Status Codes in my APIs for years
Affero GPL [0] states that:

So the way I understand it is as long as you don't modify the software, you can run the original version as a network service without providing source code.

But if you do modify the program and serve it to users through a network interface, you have to include some means of copying the source code.

I tried making sourdough without a starter culture several times and it worked every time (1), so I suspect that having the correct conditions may be sufficient depending on what you want to ferment.

(1) to be precise, it looked and tasted the same every time, and it was somewhat sour and not disgusting, so I just assumed that it worked ;)
I believe CP/M always used the forward slash as the CLI modifier argument prefix (where Unix would use a dash). MS-DOS inherited this.

When directories were eventually added, the forward slash couldn’t be used as a separator because it was already used for modifiers.
Haha, I love this humor, it's the kind I write in a frenzy of enthusiasm and inspiration often fueled by a sudden realization of the crazy state some things are in.

I also have gotten a lot slack for it. But I see it as a way to convey that new feeling of wonder and awe a child has upon entering a new world. Challenge the assumptions, make up some nice words, pretend very hard that your academic title is an actual thing that gives you some blessed superpowers (as is the way that people often treat it!). I love it. It's truth wrapped in humor to soften the blow to the ones that think themselves overly important. The "shocked ones" are the ones that I try to avoid in life anyway, nice discussions begin at the edge of your comfort zone.

> "honest look on how "Magic Links" can be made more secure"

Challenge accepted. Here's my best practice list. (I should put this into a blog post!)

* Prefer them for accounts that are infrequently used or low risk.

* Test for conversion or goal uplift if possible with this.

* Offer the user choices; some people will prefer username/password, some magic link, some social sign-on.

* Ensure that users understand that whatever the destination is (email, whatsapp, slack, etc), the security of their app account is now tied to the destination's security. Understand that most folks care far more about their email or other destination than they do about access to your app.

* Understand the UX tradeoffs (around mobile browser issues). Document them if possible

* Make sure everything is over HTTPS. (Duh :) ).

* Set timeouts for links appropriately and communicate that to your users. ("This link is good for X minutes." "This link expires at HH:MM.")

* Warn users that access to the link is the same as access to the account. "Don't forward this email".

I think that's everything I'd say. I would love to hear if I missed something.
I get what you are trying to say here, but someone posting on HN about "the IR component" using the nom de guerre "Enginerrd" might not be "a total laymen" :-)
How are the courts, filled with old people as judges, going to understand what is a bot and what is not a bot?

This myth does not require Wikipedia to dispel, just the knowledge of how to calculate percentages and the knowledge that you need a standard of measurement. (Which none exists for “brain capacity”).
You’re not right. What Rome called a dictator is not the modern definition of the term. An elected autocrat can have similarities to a dictator, but they aren’t one. Unless they rig the elections!

I'm sorry. I must be dense. I still don't understand what IronSource does. I thought, from the name, that it was like Perforce, but that is obviously not correct.

Receiver of funds are normally merchants, and merchants normally already have payment systems that require some kind of connection anyway.
I suspect this mostly refers to ring cameras. It's pretty shocking when you start thinking of just how many square feet of the world are covered by a video feeds now.

I can't remember the details exactly but there is a part in 1984 where they travel out into forest to find a place where they aren't under surveillance. Even then they notice a camera on a tree or something they have to stand just out of range of.
Some third party detects you're trying to sign into a website. The third party sends you an email, that email happens to arrive first. You click the link in the email. Now you're on a website that looks like the one you expected (if the third party has done its homework) but is completely in control by the third party.

Apparently things like this do happen, for example when people are buying or selling things on the internet. They get redirected to a pay processing site that looks just like the one from their bank, but steals their money and/or identity instead.
Problem is that you can't just go to Qatar and ask for some LNG delivery tommorow - they are supplying on long term contracts and they need to invest $$$ to increase production. Qatar already told EU (Germany?) that they can only supply extra if they sign a 20 year contract, not 1-2 years.

I can think of a few others, though I did move from Unity to Godot and never looked back so clearly they're not deal breakers (for me):

- Doesn't handle 3D as well. Mostly optimisation stuff, though also things like procedural sky/sun is weaker I find with Godot than Unity. Though almost all of that are looking to change with Godot 4.

- As you mention asset store, but also just the size of the community. Can't really blame Godot for this though, their documentation is certainly very good which is about as much as they can do.

- GDScript is a great language, but I'm not a big fan of using engine-specific languages, rather than a generic one like C#. Of course it has its advantages, but it means you also miss out on whatever package manager comes with the language. Bindings remedy this, but they're not a simple out-the-box experience.

- Similar to above, GDScript and a lot of areas of the engine feel more strongly orientated towards fast and easy dev time rather than game performance. Its a personal choice so I can't complain much, and again bindings can help, but out the box GDScript of course isnt as fast as C# with ECS.

Thats about all I can think of, and as I say I use, and overall love, Godot so despite my complaints theres still more going for it than against it (for me)
And surveillance capitalism wasn’t the original goal of the internet, yet here we are.

If the user's phone's browser knows a relevant secret (a pre-shared key or the private half of a key-pair the other side has the public half saved in), then the QR code is a magic link. Scanning the code opens the page in the browser, that page reads the secret (client-side only obviously) and uses it to sign a second request.

Requires a setup step first that the magic link doesn't (getting the secret stored in the browser).

Also no use if the user is trying to login with that particular device.

Interesting take.

Feels cleaner to me, and while I want to argue about the opinionated payload bit, I suppose that's something that should be clearly defined in the contract anyway.

Maybe I've been abusing status codes too...

Ask HN: Real-world danger of not updating phone?
Phones that can't get software updates are more at risk of becoming targets for malware. Many phones only get software updates for a small number of years, often three years or less. Usually they get only a short time of firmware updates, a somewhat longer time of first-party bugfixes, then merely app fixes and possibly third-party ROM fixes.

Yet modern phone hardware is often still plenty fast enough for everyday use when the updates dry up.

Hence my question: what is the actual real-world danger of not updating your phone? Did anything ever happen to you or your phone because it wasn't updated?
I have a friend who does on websites like dework.

It works fine, the only risk is that USDT is not actually dollars, you have no guarantees on the backing of the currency and it could collapse at any time.

I think it's fine as a way to get paid but personally I'd convert to safer havens immediately.

Best of luck!
That’s how it feels to me too. When I started out most of the people I worked with had real interest in writing software. Nowadays you have a lot of people who got into it mainly because it’s a well paying job. Definitely much less fun.

Organic farming is strictly self-regulated. Usually it takes something like five years for a field that was used for traditional farming to be considered organic. The field has to flush the insecticide. With a decision to prevent forex issues by banning fertilizer, Sri Lanka could not afford to wait years for its organic products to be recognized internationally. The plan was foolish.

I mean, the magic link could be an addition to the "forgot password" screen, then? As in "reset password or login via magic link"?
> How would that defeat the purpose?

If it is just the magic link then anyone, someone shoulder-surfing as you access the site/app for instance, could scan that code and get in by following the link.

If it is being used as a single factor then even worse: anyone can get the QR code to scan without you even being present.

QR codes will work in this sort of context, but more work is needed to prove the device scanning the code is the user's device and not some random's - you can't just use a straight single request following the magic link as credentials.

IMHO it’s pretty cool that you can stream HD video to the computer you carry in your pocket.

And if you need to connect the same computer to the NAS in your wardrobe to open a document or whatever, you can communicate securely using Wireguard/Tailscale.

Revolutions/upheavals don’t occur that frequently. But constant refinements can also yield awesome results.

I'm of the opinion that the rules are behind the law when it comes to BTC. I am deeply uninterested in being anywhere near the legal case that challenges this!

But currency exchange for 'ordinary purposes' is not taxed, if my company bought some Euros to pay for foreign goods and the Euro rallied against the dollar before the purchase, no tax is owed.

Well, BTC is legal tender in El Salvador, and there's no rule that the (in the above) Euros in question have to be paid to a country where the Euro is legal tender: perhaps they're a Singaporean business which mostly exports to Europe, so their prices are in Euros and it shouldn't matter.

The US might not like that El Salvator made BTC official, but that shouldn't matter either.

Better keep your books very carefully though, because buying currency with the intention of selling it later (aka exchanging it for another currency) is investment purposes.
Stride probably has a better chance at being Unity compatible being .NET and similar but it needs more polish to take on Unity. I only recently heard of it as it was used in Distant Worlds 2 but that game had an unfortunate launch and lots of bugs/compatibility issues.

> was more interested that day in going flying his plane than meeting with corporate men in navy suits. (This may be apocryphal.)

That day was his wife’s birthday and he had already promised her to go flying.

Here it is reported by Stewart Cheifet, his long term co-host of the Computer Chronicles (which is a treasure and freely available in the Internet Archive https://archive.org/details/computerchronicles):

> “... but it’s just as good. It’s just that that day they came was his wife’s birthday, and he said «Sorry, I’m committed to my wife, we’re gonna go flying» [...] He didn’t have to worry about money, but what killed Gary was just the... he was annoyed at what happened. [...] [Cheifet in an excerpt from Computer Chronicles in 1983:] Gary, are we at the end of the line in the evolution of computer hardware?”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdtHS_X1ibg&t=430s

Edit to add: the first video in the Computer Chronicles Archive collection is the “Gary Kildall Special” from 1995, and I quote here a couple of paragraphs:

> “In 1976, Gary and his wife Dorothy founded a company called «Intergalactic Digital Research», later shortened to «Digital Research».”

> “The main thing that CP/M brought that was different from how anybody else was approaching micro-computers, was that Gary made a logical separation of the physical I/O system from what was called the BDOS. The physical layer system was called the BIOS, the Basic I/O System, and that was the term that Gary used in early CP/M. The BDOS was the Basic Disk Operating System. The BDOS was independent of the specific hardware that you had in your micro-computer. By comparison, we are looking at the time of UNIX being out as a major mini-computer operating system, and you could not move executables of any application program from one UNIX machine, unless it was an identical machine, to another system. So that was really a remarkable innovation.”

> “CP/M sold extremely well, and DRI flourished. The company expanded to larger quarters across the street, the number of employees grew from 9 to 24. When the new VAX mini-computer arrived, it was too large to fit inside the building, so the entire structure was lifted off its foundation to accommodate the machine. A beaming Gary told the staff that they would all be getting a «raise» that week.”
That happened to my parents when they went to sell their house. A neighbor had built a stone wall many years previously and it turned out to be a foot onto their land. The neighbor had to either tear down the wall, or buy ~140 square feet of land from mom & dad - and do it quickly, as it was holding up the sale. Then they had to get it resurveyed so the legal description reflected the new size.

Something I found out just now is that the original 13 colonies (the states on the east coast of the US other than Florida) use the "Metes and Bounds" system of surveying land. While the other 37 states use the PLSS - Public Land Survey System. Under Metes and Bounds a piece of land is described by its natural boundaries. Such as: "BEGINNING at the survey marker numbered 12345, thence North 19°32'14.24" for 148 feet, thence East at 104°0'23.75" to the Oak Tree, thence South", etc. where the segments join to form the boundary.

I've always used Debian since I discovered it via Knoppix (which was my first Linux distro, Cygwin was my first Unix distro), I initially used Debian unstable but downgraded to testing some years later as upgrading testing often is smoother than unstable.
