> Insights come from individuals, not collectives, and while having similarly skilled colleagues to bounce ideas off of and refine them with works well for great programmers, they have to come up with the ideas themselves in the first place.

Bouncing insights off each other in a team might lead to someone else taking up and working on something that to the originator was just a fleeting side idea in a train of thought, but can turn out to be valid on its on / viewed from a slightly different angle / in a slightly different context. Whereas if the individual works entirely on their own, valid ideas / insights may be forgotten and fall by the wayside forever.

(Personally I probably tend more towards the solo side, but have to admit there are advantages to teamwork too.)
Bitwig's 16-track version seems to be the perfect next level.

Latest PopPS! has Pipewire - I'm using it right now. Thanks for the tips on the audio configuration. I'm hoping she doesn't lose interest and gets involved enough that I have to buy it for her (fingers crossed!)
Nah, utter garbage :)
Has anybody managed to compile the executable?
One interesting thing is they used a lead-free bismuth-based solder. I was not aware that this is a thing. Apparently it has some history of use in IBM and Motorola [1] for soldering sensitive parts in mainframes.

A quick search shows it's about 3 times the price of common Sn60/Pb40 lead solder in small quantities: 0.3 EUR/g vs. 0.1 EUR/g.

Typical lead-free tin-copper-silver solder you find in factory mass-produced electronics is hard to work/rework manually because of its high melting point. That is the reason most hand-made and low-volume circuits still use lead solder.

Because you are posting on news.ycombinator.com? It might have been a sensible name 30 years ago, but now?
Like the rocket equation, it'd be a logarithmic function with no upper bound (assuming an unlimited starting supply of horses). You start off with a large caravan and gradually jettison horses as the food runs out. Both food and horse count decay exponentially, but they decay together at the same rate, so there's always the correct amount of food for the remainers.

The same law applies to global fuel transport: can you export oil halfway around the planet, on a boat that itself runs on oil? There's a rocket equation hidden in that. But the constants are really good (oil is energy-dense; planets are small); so it's not an important law that's ever-present in economics, in the way the rocket equation is ever-present in space. (Was it ever, in history?)

I read a short story once about a world where oceans were too large for oil-powered ships to cross. Anyone know which story I'm thinking of? It was an impossibly large planet too vast for humans to comprehend, and we could only just scratch the surface exploring small corners of it. I remember it had nuclear-powered ekranoplans.

FWIW the first two are solved by git without any service.

Git can set up a post receive hook, which could do the triggering.

SSH key auth is a thing as part of Git+SSH.

Sure I couldn't set this with e.g. GitLab without them supporting GitLab, but if I'm self-hosting a git service, this seems like a fine solution.
Those addresses are role addresses; depending on what services you are providing, you should have have those addresses, and you should read them. They are often aliased to root@. They are not called "honeypots".

A honeypot is an email address that should never get email, typically because the only way a spammer can capture the address is by scraping a web-page. Role addresses don't need to be scraped; they're well-known.

> They do flag you for this but not actionable on its own as PatchGuard demonstrates the exact same kind of behavior. RWX memory in Kernel Space that's not associated with a signed module.

I'm sure most cheats use drivers that are pretty similar to each other (e.g. will have the same imports that show up as plaintext I think) so they can look for that. And PG threads/pages have plenty of identifiers.

> As you also surely know, there is also a lot of rwx memory that's not actually utilized yet allocated by many drivers that you can deploy your shellcode into.

Usually most cheats will use this shellcode to still jump back into the larger suspicious RWX memory region. I guess discardable sections might be large enough to hold an entire driver. I haven't really been following the latest developments in this field≥

That's believable. It's not like most people would be terribly motivated creating an artificially inflated supply of millions of fake dicks online...

...The only group I could imagine being motivated to do it would be a spouse's union, paying a water army to DDOS "watering holes" for affairs with honeypots, which report anyone caught attempting to cheat to a collective database for identification and confrontation.

But I think this would be a waste of resources in today's world - the high profile breach was probably enough to prevent anything as big as Ashley Madison from rising to prominence for a long time yet. And those motivated enough to have an affair would adjust to seek another path. It could definitely have a negative further overall effect on marital trust.
> it's incredible how bad Baltimore is

I've lived in/near NYC, Baltimore, Boston, and Philly. Baltimore's the only one where I've been mugged (at gunpoint no less), or really robbed at all. Also someone was murdered in the building across the street from my apartment, in a botched home invasion. And I lived in one of the "better" neighborhoods.

Baltimore has an amazing creative scene (music/art/film/etc) and great food, and I actually really enjoyed living there, but the safety issue is quite serious.

I don't think the problem is insurmountable though. I'm surprised whenever I visit Washington DC in recent years, because DC used to be even more dangerous than Baltimore, but you'd never know it today.

NYC is on the complete opposite side of the spectrum. 15 years here and I've never had a serious incident, and I'm struggling to even think of anything major affecting any of my friends too.
Sounds like the solution probably had something to do with switching to passing by reference + other changes I would assume.
Yeah don’t disagree. But how will increasing the price help them?

Their tagline - "life is short, have an affair" - is fairly compelling. You have one life, and romance is one of the great human experiences. Many people don't have the opportunity to experience that in their current relationship, while still having good reason to remain in that relationship.

Oo AppFlowy looks great. For now, we are just recreating Notion's UI (the building blocks) for developers who want to use it in their apps rather than creating an open-source Notion app.
I noticed the last time I went to a McDonalds a huge sign on the door advertising that they're on DoorDash, Uber Eats, etc., basically saying "don't come here!"
No, any possible variation in fundamental "constants" is going to be far slower. The fine-structure constant (which is generally what's actually being discussed when people talk about a variable speed of light), for instance, changes by no more than a factor of about 10^-17 per year.
Proud to be part of this :)
You can use something like direnv to export GIT_SSH to point at a wrapper that invokes `ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_corp $@`.
Fun tool. Like Google Trends. Any reason it only goes back to 2015?
I cant believe this was approved!!

In past Apple has rejected apps for _mentioning_ Android in their about page (things like "we are also available on android").

---

A recent example by u/SpaceHonk:

"I have two apps that are accessories to the physical, analog card game "Android: Netrunner".

Updates got rejected regularly because mentioning other operating systems is VERBOTEN, even though I explain the necessity and the origin of the name in my review notes."

So much for privacy.
Yes and there was a lot of uncertainty on the Allied side about whether France would fight with them or against them in Operation Torch.

This lasted for a while as the French intentions were pretty ambiguous to the very last minute.
Of course I can say it failed given the context.

The usual way of framing it and especially russian classical literature in russian schools, like in my case, was that it is the moral guiding light of the nation. As such it has clearly failed.

Also, I'm confused by the notion that I have the obligation to you to interpret a work of art just like you to have an opinion on it.
> in London, if fire stations were each given an ambulance or hybrid fire-medical vehicle, it could be put to use to relieve the NHS

Alas, will never happen because the point of deliberately running down the ambulance service (and the rest of the NHS) is to get the voting public to a breaking point where they say "right, fine, privatise the NHS, it's the only way to fix it" and the Tory chums can swoop in.
Forget respect. It's hard to take this clown seriously considering he's previously said things like:

- Depression is caused by overeating and lack of exercise[1]

- Mercury can be solidified by energizing it and is not toxic[2]

- Food turns to poison during an eclipse[3]

- Cancer is not a disease[4]

Why do homes in the UK have separate hot and cold taps? (2018)
No mention of XMPP so I'll be that guy.

XMPP has a variety of clients for about all platforms, is federated, can (optionally) be e2ee. Its most used client on Android is user-friendly and has built-in (optional, again) tor support. On a cheap vps you can easily run a server with many users. I think it deserves a little more love than it receives.
> personally I wouldn't even list that in theft: unless you live in Japan, yes, things left outside your house DO tend to vanish, especially if left overnight!

This is exactly analogous to blaming someone for walking home at 3am through a badly lit area while visibly having money, or being attractive and dressed to show it.
> Reels is not interspersed with ADs which is refreshing, but that could all change.

I feel like it's the opposite. Everything on Reels is either a meme, scam or an ad (be it influencer ad or a blatant one). My theory why Youtube shorts and Instagram Reels turn out this way is that they are attached to an existing network with developed spam/influence markets where's TikTok had to reinvent in and in the progress the culture managed to reduce the obcenity of it. Though, TikTok is getting worse by the day as these markets develop.
Curious, how do you measure your own gps “accuracy”?

Also, is “jamming” a precision reduction (seems improbable given how I think gps works) or a signal strength reduction in this case?

Zero shot classification on any random task seems like a pretty huge deal to me.

Copilot seems like a pretty clear use case that is very useful, Copilot is currently writing 10-20% of my code, sometimes more, sometimes I don't even have to read the docs or go on stackoverfow, for example I didn't know much about AWS S3, started writing a class with copilot, and autopilot +/- autocompleted a whole 150 line file, the only thing it got wrong was an uppercase in a table name(which wasn't mentioned anywhere and that it just guessed!!)

Automated description of pictures, seems like it would be pretty useful to blind people once it can be done reliably in +/- real time/on video.

I've been thinking about using GPT or Bloom to take my job search automation to the next level:
filter companies that match my criteria(using more than simple metrics that can filtered with regular code), for example I want companies that works against climate change, with good remote policies/remote first, a focus on code quality, I want to avoid certain technologies etc...

generate cover letters by using the job description+data about the company+a summary of my resume(or even the recruiter profile) as input

If you think it have no use cases you just have no imagination
I say that because "python.com" looks like a URL. DOS was a loooong time ago (I used it in my youth) and well out of the memory of most internet users today. So instead they see "python.com" and think it's a web address. And while I thought it would direct you to a website about python, you know where that address goes? To a website that has something to do with creating your own camsite. Yeah... that kind of camsite.

And then, it's bad because a user trying to search for it using the universal search/URL bar in their browser can't just type that in and hit enter to search for it, they have to manually select that they want to search for it, or else they go to the site about starting your own camsite.

AND THEN... once they have googled for it... none of the results on the first page have anything to do with this program as far as I can tell.

So yeah, weird, obscure, confusing branding that makes the program hard to search for.

EDIT: I could be missing something? Does this program have a different name and python.com is solely the file name of the executable or whatever? It still seems like it could be more descriptively named.
And this is was what people warned us about when FB became the new single destination. It became its own walled off version of the web.

Hetzner offering bare metal Ampere Altra servers
I think ultimately, out of everything invested in, we see that common sense rarely, but occasionally, factors.

I think it's more likely that someone had to justify their position as a developer somewhere along the line by taking a fat dump on the work of predecessors and poorly reimplementing the lost functions, calling the inevitable bastardization a 'UI refresh'.

Since when has a modern 'invested in' toolkit allowed, for example, to even move the 'X' to close a window elsewhere? Or to set your own background image on the titlebar? Or even... color UI elements? Not long since Chicago!

Seems clear to me the tools to 'make things pretty' are being removed, not maintained, if we can say prettiness is based on the artistry of the user. And otherwise, the prettiness that remains is ephemeral and by another's whim.

Perhaps as long as it is still pretty, it's not bothersome, and yeah, aesthetic has commercial value. But these days I look at things like Windows's flat looks and ask, 'what the hell is this aesthetic?' They must be spending millions, but I don't find the results appealing at all.
the article begins with the qualification of being the "number 1 newsletter on substack"

so there is a logical error of assuming that the advice given is more valuable or actionable - which imo it isn't, after reading the article.
It wasn't common to call that sideloading because it isn't sideloading.
I love this story. I'm becoming an older dev now and I've often been blindsided by some insight or finding by juniors - it's really great to see & you've always got to make sure they get credit!
"Serverless" has a pretty widely-accepted meaning now, as mentioned in other replies. You provide the application code, the platform provides the runtime environment, OS and interfaces. You should probably move on.
I don't disagree, but it is best if you know the problem already. And it won't change too substantially, in which case you have to rework the code and the tests.

openGauss Is First Rated as an Advanced Trustworthy Open-Source Community
Today, open-source has become the most important software building and management model in the global software industry, and has a profound impact on the development of the digital industry. On May 20, 2022, the OSCAR Open Source Pioneer Day was successfully held. The conference is led by China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) and China Communications Standards Association, supported by the Cloud Computing Standards and Open Source Promotion Committee, hosted by the Open Source Cloud Alliance for Industry (OSCAR), and co-hosted by the Financial Industry Open Source Technology Application Community (FINOC), ICT Open Source Community (ICTOSC), technology manufacturing open-source community (TMOSC), and Trustworthy Open-source Community (TWOS).
Adhering to the principle of "Openness + Transparency + Compliance + Security = Trustworthiness", CAICT has established a series of trustworthiness open-source standard systems based on the open-source lifecycle and implemented evaluation tests to standardize the market, help enterprises reduce the risks of using open-source software, and promote the establishment of a trustworthy open-source ecosystem.
According to the standards, the openGauss community is first rated as an advanced trustworthy open-source community in terms of community governance, operation, and development.
+1 though to his credit he does caveat it a bit and states it’s still worth talking about the issues given the technical audience.

I do think Moxie is right though and the talk is wrong on the core issue which is federation doesn’t work as well unless you really boil the ocean to do it (urbit) and even that still has to prove itself. Signal is really good at doing what it does well and I’m grateful for that. Matrix is cool, but my family/friends will never use it (and element still sucked last I checked, especially to deal with encryption).

Signal is easy to use, extremely secure, and I can actually use it with less technical people I care about.

Like you said - these are major wins among an ocean of failure from technologists who have for years complained while failing to ship a solution with the right tradeoffs (normal) people would actually use.

I don’t find his other arguments very convincing either.

I am a Matrix user -- I run a homeserver primarily for bridging my other services into one chat application -- and I am a Signal user.

I have found that Signal strikes a good enough balance with E2EE that I can easily recommend Signal to anyone -- I do not find the same to be true of Matrix. While I believe Matrix to be a better choice for freedom and privacy I do not see it as a good option for non-technical users. Even for technical users I feel it can be very confusing to use unless you are already familiar with the Matrix ecosystem, jargon, etc. With Matrix, the overhead to manage sessions and your security is much higher than Signal. Sure, it's unfortunate that you have to place some trust in Signal, but it's far less confusing than having to manage your own sessions.

In my subjective and probably biased experience, Signal feels as easy as iMessage but still provides greater privacy than most other platforms (not Matrix, obviously).

I really like Matrix for myself and for dev communities. But I have a hard time seeing a future where Matrix becomes a mainstream personal messenger until the experience feels a bit more hands-off for non-tech users.
