SNI for one ( https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/learning/ssl/what-is-sni/ ). The handshake contains endpoint IP addresses, and they likely know what sites are on what IPs from either crawling the web like search engines do, or buying that data from somewhere.

Size of packets. Number of packets. Size of response. If the site content is static, that could give a good idea which page was loaded. Packet frequency. Enough to say if it's probably a page load or a realtime chat or a download, etc.

There are probably enough details in the handshake endpoints to tell them whether you visited Facebook in a browser or opened the Facebook app, for example.

What time you went to the site, how often you go there, how long you stayed. Vodafone mobile would know which cell tower(s) you are connected to. They can probably narrow in on whether you work and roughly where you work (cell towers you connect to during the day vs. at night) and from the land use in those areas they could guess roughly what you do. They know your home address for billing, so how expensive your home is and how desirable the area is, they could also guess at that from which cell towers you connect to.

What times you visit sites, whether you usually busy on a Friday evening or using your phone, whether you are regularly on gambling sites or regularly on crypto sites or healthcare sites.

Yes they can't see that you typed "glasses" into a Google search, but they can see you visiting google.com then visiting zennioptical.com. They can see you visiting Reddit and then whether you load a lot of imgur pictures or a lot of video traffic or load some fashion blogs and inferr what kind of things you're interested in.

It's actually pretty terrible in practice. Keep in mind that most common tar files have also been run through a stream compression algorithm, which means scanning the archive for file headers requires decompressing the entire thing. Some software does index tar files automatically (and of course the typical CLI tools will if you want) but for a large archive, say 20gb, I have had to stare at a progress bar for 30s+ while the tool indexed the archive. Extracting a single file required another 30s+ wait while it scanned the archive again to get back to that file, since with gzip compression it's not trivial to store enough state to be able to decompress at a point without having to decompress everything up to there.
There is a Google Doodle team [1], but I can’t seem to find anything about an Easter egg team. Does anyone have insight into if there is a team supporting this or if it’s something the search team does on their own?

I dont know about miserable. The money, benefits and work/life balance can be very good. And while the work is uninteresting, its probably a lot more tolerable than working elsewhere.
No, at least in this case I think the feature chooses the correct path on this. If you want to embed a string that’s null terminated then just save the string into a file as a null terminated string or copy it from the array to a proper string type. It looks like you may even be able to use this with a struct which might let you add a null termination after the array.

Though yes I agree lots of features get bogged down trying to handle everything. But in this case not adding it creates even more complexity. You can store strings natively in C. You can’t include binary blobs in C in a platform independent way so you have hacks that explode compile times for everyone using that software.

The ability to add vendor specific attributes also allows for those use cases to evolve naturally while still solving the core problem of embedding binary data.
Reads like anti-newspeak - attrition is a bad word, and unregretted means company doesn't care about the people being fired.
Your comparison falls short though, because there's not really a historical equivalent we can compare to.

Being banned from social media is not like being thrown out of a pub by a bouncer. It's like being thrown out of every pub, nightclub, and church by the bouncer.

If I may take an example from my own life: if I were to be banned from WhatsApp, I would not be able to

* take part in my son's school group and social events.
* participate in the neighbourhood group
* participate in my local sports team
* participate in the local party
* participate in the business
* participate in my university alumni group

WhatsApp completely owns the social graph where I live. Almost to the point where one would not be able to live without it. A false positive ban would be catastrophic for me.
They’ve also put a lot of dams on the Mekong River which is seriously affecting flow downstream in Laos, Cambodia and southern Vietnam.
My goal is to buy a split keyboard - I currently have a Gen1 Das and a generic mechanical keyboard but my team lead mentioned I was typing like he used to (heavy, deliberate) which caused carpal tunnel and switching to a split keyboard helped.
No, Google search remains awesome for me. I’d switch if there was something that gave better results, but that doesn’t exist for me. I gave DDG a fair shake (about 3 months) and it was horrid.

I’m also not concerned with privacy/whatever so I won’t switch to something equally as good or worse to make a statement.
i have a mac studio it’s fine, i was underwhelmed after all the hype. i still spend too much time waiting on slow web apps like gmail and google docs. main value prop is driving up to 5 displays
Generally I told them my estimate was what I could commit to, and allowed that it was possible I'd finish in less time.
I suspect, but can’t prove that the entire internet is rotting. I get the feeling that organic user contributions are plummeting and being swamped by bots. HN is a small life raft. Many of the niche subreddits I’ve been following for years are seeing their post frequency drop, from dozens a days to a few a week. All the other forums are gone. Maybe there’s something going on in the apps, but they aren’t searchable. The internet is becoming a cold dead place. There’s not much for Google to find these days.

Case in point: I was just trying to find some information about TGV rail routes. Standard Google searched yielded nothing but spam. Appending “Reddit” game me posts more than 5 years old with out of date information.
LA's metro, like MTA, also currently has fares and doesn't keep out the homeless, as fare enforcement here is a complete joke, so i hear what you're saying. i think the point was that being unvalued would mean that people would be even less likely to do or say anything about it, and it spirals into an even worse tragedy of the commons situation (the unintended consequences).

i'd personally like to see metro raise base fares, and provide larger discounts to lower income riders via their LIFE program to offset that potentially regressive burden. in the best of times (before covid) fares only covered about 20-30% of operating costs, i believe.

use that money to implement better service (more and more punctual trains), more social/community officers to help the homeless, peace officers on the trains themselves (currently they mostly just walk around stations every once in a while), and more rigorous cleaning and general maintenance.

this all needs to be coordinated with getting housing and services to homeless folks, removing roadblocks to density along transit corridors, and emphasizing multi-mobility (like converting street parking to bus & bike lanes).
What's weird is I'm not a hunt-and-pecker, I've got some weird claw grip thing going on and I can still type ~95+wpm with minimal errors.

I think I just need to consciously force myself to reset to home row (or something). Hearing someone else go through it definitely helps.
Most countries don't expect publicly funded transportation to turn a profit, or even break even. The reason Spain has to find new avenues to waste money is due to the unnecessarily large EU recovery fund, of which Spain was the biggest recipient.

This is not even Spanish tax payers money, but I'm sure they'll have no problem finding ways to spend it, like all the other hand outs.
I know (and use) vim regularly, it's more typing ergonomics.
see my other comment. In short: it's not like being kicked out of a restaurant, it's like being kicked out of every restaurant.
The original wording was plenty readable, I didn’t even notice the singular they until your comment.
It is a philosophical thing for me personally. I did a stretch at a meaningless company with good pay and perks and I was so unbelievably bored. If you have mentally accepted your productive output is without personal meaning and you are only in it for a check, then I agree it’s a good gig. I just personally can’t do it. And I think the general no-fucks-given by the workforce is why a lot of stuff is just stagnating and declining.
Maybe from a theoretical point of view too — the internet is a generative network, yes?
No?

If I say "you distribute revenge porn", I'm accusing you of a crime. There's no ambiguity there. Revenge porn is a criminal act nearly everywhere. In some states and some situations, it's even a felony, which is a significant step up in severity.

I haven't informed your local authorities that you do this. But that doesn't have any affect on whether or not I am accusing you.

>An accusation is informally stating that a person has committed an illegal or immoral act. - https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/accusation

Twitter has unambiguously made the claim that they are tweeting revenge porn. Twitter has clearly stated that doing so is the reason their account is banned. They're accusing them of a crime.

It's not bombastic or stretching, it's the literal description of what Twitter (via their bot and their review process) is doing.
>The West's efforts have been to continue the war, not to stop it. When you're supplying arms, you're not acting to stop a war.

The lazy “military industrial complex” take. Tell me, how do you propose that the US should support stopping the war that doesn’t involve Ukraine ceasing to be independent and losing its leaders?

Your comment is basically the same as, “The west’s efforts have been to prolong hunger, not to stop it. When you’re suppling food you’re not acting to stop hunger. It should have been objectively obvious that the hunger would have stopped long ago had we just let people starve to death.”
Except it seems true
For all it's failures the government and courts do a good job at mediating disputes in every other aspect of our lives, so why not this one too?
"We have nothing to do with the robot."

Yeah, then we're on the same page.

But one note, I don't think fusion has the same uphill battle that fission does. You mentioned that the fission industry just hasn't been able to properly demonstrate what they can do, but I don't think this is entirely it. We do have to consider the decades worth of campaigning and lobbying by coal and gas that went after nuclear. That these campaigns even infiltrated the biggest green lobbying groups: Sierra Nevada and Green Peace. Fusion doesn't have this same battle to overcome. I'm in the state just south of you and we're very pro green, but our green politicians still talk about fission and "the dangers." Hanford is still discussed with a lot of fervor. Such history and momentum doesn't exist with fusion other than "20 years away." I understand why a lot of people have effectively given up and why a lot of climate scientists don't bring it up, but will admit that they aren't against fission (usually with that precise wording). Honestly, I think it is more on the climate scientists at this point to be vocal about it.
there isn't one. but that's irrelevant because the services that require your phone number don't do it for the sake of security or to combat bots, they do it to gather data. when you give a megacorp your phone number, they get your real name, your relationships, and a myriad data points to sell.

this is the reason why all megacorp mobile apps and every other free flashlight/calculator/alarm app require access to your contact list.
That's an aggressive opening.
Another excellent review of the book

"Mindf*ck: Cambridge Analytica and the Plot to Break America

Once there, find the review by "J."* You'll have to scroll down to find it under "Community Reviews" (the text being unsearchable).
I think something is off with the internet too.

It feels as if internet is sharded just like MMORPG servers. Nowadays there are more humans than ever with access to internet but organic creations are getting harder to find and everything is swamped with SEO spam.

I still can’t exactly point my finger on what’s wrong.
Yet another not a mathematician here. Division by zero never converges (as a limit of any generating process, numerical or symbolic) in contrast to division by anything else. There is no amount of zeroes that can add up to a whole number, by definition of zero. Not an infinite amount, just “no” amount.

If you want to handle infinities as numbers, you have to maintain a “progress” somehow, or you end up comparing different stages of processes and get something like 2=1. Much easier to not dig a pit to fall into.
It's tax payer funded all right, just not by Spanish tax payers (if there are any).

Spain was the biggest recipient of the (obviously unnecessarily large) EU COVID recovery fund, and with all those billions burning in their pockets, this is unlikely the be the only avenue they'll going to pursuit. Expect more fresh ideas until at least the latter part of the decade, unless the Brussels manages to conjure another handout for the south.
i'm really not a fan of the spacer example, as it reminds me so much of early 00s layout (in this case, adding a bunch of empty spans/divs to represent the spaces). there's a recent proposal for custom functions in css that i believe would allow one to write a simple iterator for this type of use case (use the nth-of-type element count as a multiplier against a set spacer width).

You're right, and I think that, other than avoiding known toxic foods (chocolate, obviously; lists can be found all over the Web), you're better off not obsessing about everything the dog eats. No dog food is going to give him 100% of his needs.

If he picks up something on the street and gobbles it down, it's probably a craving from some biological need we don't know about. At worst, he throws up later. It's not the end of the world.

You can't stop them all anyway, so save the "DROP IT!" commands for things that are really dangerous.

Sure, I definitely agree that 1/0 doesn't give you a finite quantity. What I'm saying is that it doesn't give you a number at all unless you're willing to sacrifice major parts of algebra. And I'm not much of a mathematician either, so I might have gotten something wrong.
I used to type very heavily (due to some really stiff keyboards years ago). I have had some success at re-training myself to type more lightly, but a bit too late. I have a bit of arthritis starting to develop in at least one finger.

So, yeah. Learn to type more lightly, or you may pay the price.

How did I re-train myself? By sometimes consciously focusing on typing with a lighter touch. And by noticing sometimes that my hands hurt, and using that to trigger focusing on typing more lightly.
> political problem

But that was the problem with Yucca - it was chosen exclusively for its “scientific” value - remoteness. They didn’t event take transportation costs into account.

If you start with the political aspects, it becomes really, really easy to solve.

How many towns and cities are there with plants shutting down? How many with a history of military and nuclear facilities?

I know one town in particular that is trying to specialize in nuclear work. They have consultants, training programs, etc. Why not call them?
I wouldn't view this as being about write speed... keep in mind that the common ZIP implements a very simple optimization to address this exact issue, which is writing the index at the end of the file instead of at the beginning. Actually there were tools that did this when writing to tape as well, but tar wasn't one of them. In fact a lot of common tape archiving solutions would just put the index on its own dedicated tape, which of course makes sense when you consider that a computer operator would probably need to find out which tape a record of interest was on. Similarly it is possible to build an "out-of-band" index for a tar file but I'm not aware of a tool that does so... probably mostly because this is way less practical if the tarball has been compressed (compressing the files in the tarball instead fixes this issue and I've written tools that do it that way before, but it doesn't seem to be common either).

The issue is much more about seek speed. Putting the master header at the end of ZIP files requires initially reading them backwards to locate the beginning of that data structure. This works fine on random access devices but is of course pretty untenable on tape. Even if the tape drive could actually read backwards without seeking to read each successive block in the normal direction (I'm sure there's at least one weird tape drive out there that could but not the common models, although if you read very small blocks you could get pretty good performance doing this as long as you kept the seeks within the buffer columns), the seek time to get to the end of the tape and then back to the beginning could be minutes.
No it didn’t. If it all just ended up in rich people’s pockets it wouldn’t have caused this kind of inflation and supply shortages for all of these every day items.
>At a small, young, growing company, that's what the company needs - if your goals aren't aligned with the company's, you are going to be spending scarce resources on the wrong things.

If I may suggest... you should try to get into tea. There are teas for all tastes including fermented tea, and related beverages like yerba mate, guarana, etc.
Dehumidify is a nice feature of splits but my understanding is that it's not as efficient as a dedicated dehumidifier.
It failed for more than political reasons. Long term repositories are pretty complex and have extremely unique problems to resolve (such as communicating with intelligent lifeforms that may not recognize our danger symbols). Just see all that went into the long term seed storage buildings. But really, we've learned enough in the last (almost) century to learn that we probably don't need long term repositories.
Look at python documentation. There is a metric ton of spam sites that copy and paste python documentation with ads inserted. Google ranks these higher than the primary source.

I suspect google is boosting ad supported content over non ad supported content. Directly incentivizing paraphrased/copy pasta content.
You are very mistaken. The ones covering the bill are the ones paying for the EU recovery fund, of which Spain was the biggest recipient.
I don't know about it becoming the standard LL language yet. There's a lot of memory management in low level programming, and peppering everything with unsafe seems like it'd be tedious. I'd rather just write in C to begin with.

I'm interested in seeing how things are handled with the Linux kernel's rust support, if it ever becomes more than a proof of concept. That will be a good viability test.
Also my conclusion. Aspartame and other sweeteners have been researched to death now and they still can’t tell me they have found anything. While other chemicals in regular use have real and concrete health issues.
It works for simple custom apps.
Steam exists on Mac, and while there are plenty of games that don't have Mac ports that I wish I could play (Stray being the most recent), there are still enough to keep me perpetually backlogged, and the limits are probably best for my wallet and productivity anyway.
I'll agree that it's a cliche but since the article was an allegory to An Inconvenient Truth any example of "someone who has part or all of their identity wrapped up in denying climate change" is going to be someone on the right political spectrum and Fox News/Drudge/Hannity have more name recognition than say Inhofe or Morano.
>Somewhat like how if cars were invented today they'd be deemed insanely dangerous.

The cars we have today are insanely dangerous.

Cars kill about as many people as guns in the US. That's to say, they are as effective in killing people as the tools made to kill people.

Figma is great, but i feel its getting abused and the non tech people that use it expect it's as easy to recreate their Figma in other media just as easy. And lately a lot of hacky transactions, which for sure are possible but dont translate to the effort of implementing them as easy as it was in Figma .

Also in rant, not all but many designers have no clue about font licensing's that makes me look like the bad guy explaining we wont pay NNN monthly cuz they like the shape of a 'g' or add another entire font library download.
There needs to be a reduction in productivity while everyone magically staying at the same income levels though to keep demand high.

The rapid increase in just human labor prices seems to indicate that money is making it to people somehow because COVID didn’t kill enough of the labor force to have that kind of effect.

Better refrigerant gas. Old ones use things like Freon, newer ones use hydrocarbons that aren't as efficient and are explosive if they leak.

But that fridge shown would cost thousands of dollars today, and most people just couldn't afford to buy it.

People are scared of the word nuclear, and that applies to fusion as well.

The oil business deals with NIMBYs by making it worth their while. If oils is found on your land, you get lots of cash. “Beverly Hillbilly’s”.

If nuclear power starts raising real estate value, the NIMBYs shut up.
