For all of my personal machines, I use NixOS (both hardware and in cloud machines). But for work, we have a soft-MacOS mandate. On that m1 macbook pro, I run nix-darwin for the mac specific settings I want, and packages that I run in macos, but everything else in a NixOS VM similar to mitchellh/nixos-config.

I use UTM (a nice wrapper around qemu), but the rest is just standard nix config, of which, nearly all of it I reuse from the configuration for the rest of my machines.

The essay she got the phrase from is https://web.archive.org/web/20160307234335/http://www.weekly....

Associating the phrase "predator" specifically with black and hispanic criminals was already well-established in politics. Particularly because of the the Willie Horton ad from 1988.

I absolutely believed both then and now that she intended it as a racial comment. And her only reasonable defense would have been, "...but not ALL blacks..." However the policies that her husband pursued lead to the largest increase in blacks behind bars in history to that point, and had the effect of devastating black communities. So even that excuse would be thin.

(Note, Bill Clinton is also the one who flew home during the 1992 primary campaign to witness the execution of a mentally retarded black man. About which he said, "Nobody can accuse me of being soft on crime.")

All of those things requires us to trust somebody, which is a glaring single point of failure in the system. Things can go wrong.

When any of these deeds, titles or certificates are lost, burnt or stolen. You have to rely on an outside body to keep a backup safe for you.

Blockchain allows us to be super efficient too. Which is a perk. Rather than the need of waiting for someone to certify, deliver, inspect, notify, return, process. Depending on the industry, this could take years. Blockchain tech allows everyone to see the validity of a claim in real time.

My family sold out family home a few years ago. It took 6 years of unnecessary admin work to get it sold. If we relied on blockchain tech, it would've been processed in a day.

I'm not suggesting cloudflare or public cloud by any means. It is not hard to run your own infrastructure on a small scale. However, you can play around with k8s/k3s without making it the lynchpin of the network infrastructure.

I mentioned BIND being the reference implementation for a reason. Every single DNS feature will be supported in BIND. In X years when something new and cool comes and/or k8s/k3 becomes somewhat "legacy" and people move onto the "next" infrastructure, CoreDNS has a very real chance of becoming something like Designate. It works. It's fine. BIND will keep ticking. I haven't had to adjust my named.conf (other than adding hooks for things like the sig-external-dns addon) in over a decade.

Do whatever you want with most of it. DNS in particular should be boring, stable, and able to run on a potato.

This phrase pretty much sums up almost everything related to cryptocurrency/blockchain.
all of those things are fine and good, but they aren't something you can easily put your savings into - you have to save up to buy most of that stuff, and you can't just horde physical items without necessary storage and protection. Further for some people these things all pose substantially more risk than bitcoin. If someone burns your sheds down or salts your farmland because you can't payoff the local rebels, you risk losing everything, with bitcoin, having poor timing on exiting the market is risky, but certainly not 100% wealth loss risk and that's without even considering the aspect that memorizing a wallets secret phrase is the only upkeep you need to hold bitcoin. All of those physical assets bear some form of time/energy to maintain/upkeep and as you mention have a strong downside of making you immobile.

I'm not saying everyone should store their savings in bitcoin, but I am saying it serves a very real, potentially life changing purpose for some people and that shouldn't be discounted.

One thing I didn't understand is if this is a firmware issue or an OS one? If it is a macOS driver issue, a hack to fix this should be possible as the driver already exists to make it work on M2 - the Hackintosh people should be all to offer more insights as they have more experience with such issues.

I dunno it’s kinda easy to say that the guy commanding his army to exterminate an entire country is “bad”.

This is less moralising and more that the world has decided maybe Russia shouldn’t be raping Ukrainians?, executing citizens?, committing genocide?.

There’s no amount of meddling that should make the above justifiable. This is evidenced by Russia constantly changing their reasons for invading, they know there’s no valid reason.

If you're seeing it blurry, the problem is likely your browser scaling it. Try downloading the photo and viewing it in a viewer with a 1:1 pixel ratio, like MS Paint. Alternatively, if you're on Chrome, running this in the dev console might scale it back for you:

document.body.style.zoom = 1 / window.devicePixelRatio
Imagine the parameter is passed on the stack, I can take the address of a local variable (which in general forces it to be on the stack), I can then walk up the stack from that address to where the parameter is.

This is undefined behavior. Because it is UB that compiler is allowed to assume it cannot happen. Therefore I have the address of a parameter, and can pass that to a closure or whatever, and the parameter has escaped, but the compiler doesn't know.

More importantly by definition the compiler does not need to know, because a program that does that is no longer well defined.

> I think it's more that interop with C++ is hard and ultimately a lot less valuable than interop with C, which is what the vast majority of languages use for FFI.

Interop with C is trivial, and that is why everyone has that - all you have to do is expose the primitive types (e.g. ints of varying sizes, floats of various sizes), pointers for anything heap allocated or with non-trivial copy/destroy, and pure structs.

Interop with C++ is hard, but you can at least start off without dealing with exposing template types and functions, and then C++ intro reduces to the above C functionality with some fancy pants layout for vtables.

Supporting interop at a C API level is fine as your FFI to other languages as a library, but dropping your safety guarantees as a library talking to other code written in your own language is counterproductive. Because the first thing anyone needs to do is that "rare" FFI work of recreating a memory safe wrapper around a system library.

> I don't see how that leads to "it doesn't matter"

Ok fair cop, that was a little strong, or at least insufficiently qualified.

I'll try again:

The safety of a new language doesn't matter to existing software, if there is not a reasonable adoption path for that software.

Obviously being able to implement new code in a memory safe language that has modern features and a trivial path to calling C code (as opposed to the historical "safe" language Java for which talking to non-Java - even plain C - is absolute misery).

But the largest sources of memory safety related security bugs nowadays are large existing codebases. Some like linux are plain C, and so using C as your FFI isn't adding any more safety issues than already exist, and the existing code is all by definition just C types that can be easily accessed, copied, etc as they're all just trivial bunch of bytes.

But some of the largest software in use is C++. Most obviously browser engines which by design are required to load arbitrary data from arbitrary locations, then intentionally give that arbitrary data a full near arbitrary execution Turing machine, but there are a bunch of other very large, and critical, projects.

Not having an interop story with C++ means that if any of these projects wish to adopt some new safe language, are stuck with having no transition path. Even Mozilla, who created rust, have only had partial success adopting rust in gecko, like their layout engine where the "transition" was rewrite the entire engine, and when we're done swap the engines wholesale.

For other libraries it means a large API performance regression because you have to add a pile of marshaling logic to wrap the mandatory C interface. Obviously this marshaling also impacts projects with C APIs but we're going to pretend for now that there's no heap allocation being introduced.
I agree with this. The corollary, of course, is that it becomes much more meaningful when the speaker does know what they’re talking about. One of my university lecturers works closely with Aboriginal people; you can clearly tell that she welcomes us to Country because she understands the significance and believes it is the appropriate thing to do, rather than just going through the words mechanically as is so often the case.

If this were true, why did Moscow not simply cull the entire population of Kiev with a thermobaric carpet bombing on day 1? Why have civilian deaths so obviously been minimized?

When you start from this outrageously false premise, despite an abundance of evidence suggesting other motives, you concede any chance of accurately diagnosing this conflict.

I work in this industry and have heard of only a few of these projects. The idea that this is a "top" list is ridiculous. This is more a testament to how messed up Google's search results are for niche subjects.

Dapper Labs is legit. Steem was a 2017-era source of ridicule within crypto. Gemini is just a conventional crypto exchange (like Coinbase). Algorand has some interesting tech but was a mixed bag from launch. The rest of these projects are totally obscure.

I agree. I've mentioned this elsewhere in this thread, but I just wanted to second that I've found running nixos as a vm through UTM has been a flawless experience for me. I have a fairly complicated setup for a bunch of different machines that I am able to manage through one flake. I have no desire to ever go back to a not-fully-declarative setup again.
Ah yes, a blockchain thread on HN. It doesn't get more black and white than this. As a neutral person, I love these. However, there's so much personal trauma on both sides that I sincerely would like to give all commenter here a hug and tell them it will pass and it will end up OK for everybody. Please don't forget that we're all just people on here and that none of us have all the information and context matters.

This blog post follows IanTheHenry's method for declarative environments via nix-env, which was produced when Ian was following a methodology for learning Nix that deliberately eschewed engagement with the Nix community in favor of relying only on the official documentation. So it doesn't use flakes or any unofficial community tools that could make setup 'easier' in the sense of being a bit more ready-made.

Anyway I don't think there's anything really wrong with it. There are also other options for people who are hesitant to try flakes or home-manager if they don't like this one for some reason, though. The most common one is a named package based on buildEnv in your packageOverrides or in an overlay. (There's an example of this on the unofficial NixOS wiki, in the FAQ.) And of course home-manager is usable without flakes.
The Hanford site is a horror show of the reality of how the US handles decommissioned nukes:

> The DOE later found water intruding into at least 14 single-shell tanks and that one of them had been leaking about 640 US gallons (2,400 l; 530 imp gal) per year into the ground since about 2010. In 2012, the DOE also discovered a leak from a double-shell tank caused by construction flaws and corrosion in the tank's bottom, and that 12 other double-shell tanks had similar construction flaws. ... Intermittent discoveries of undocumented contamination have slowed the pace and raised the cost of cleanup.

> In 2007, the Hanford site represented 60% of high-level radioactive waste by volume managed by the US Department of Energy[7] and 7–9% of all nuclear waste in the United States (the DOE manages 15% of nuclear waste in the US, with the remaining 85% being commercial spent nuclear fuel). Hanford is currently the most contaminated nuclear site in the United States and is the focus of the nation's largest environmental cleanup.

>>There is no entity that can prevent you from using it.

I feel that's a geek dream far outside of reality we live in.

Making it illegal to adopt or trade Crypto is possible and feasible. If your employer doesn't pay you in crypto,your landlord and bank and grocery store and public transport and health services don't take Crypto, then you're basically limited to the black market. Which tends to work well enough without complications of Crypto.

People envisioning dystopian future that needs Crypto, severely underestimate the ability of that dystopian future to prevent Crypto. Basically, their imagination of dystopian future is limited and naive. Humans can get bad and nasty and societies can get scary and Crypto is not the way out of such for ordinary citizens. Paper money, maybe. But Crypto requires so much equipment through so many telltales with so many ways for regular humans to reveal themselves accidentally that it's a totalitarian regimes' wet dream.
The original SE was my first iPhone. I had no objection to TouchID, and loved the square sides. But overall, the screen was too small for me. I kept it for several years, though. My next phone was a XR, love FaceID, hated the glass back and rounded sides. Now I have a 13 Pro, still don't like so much glass, but I have a nice case for it and love the cameras. The size is ideal for my older eyes. But the whole idea of still having the SE as part of the lineup is fantastic.

I'm not a specialist in the field, though it could be obvious for one, what makes criteria for paper to be fake one. There's no process described to check against some criteria. Except for weird generated wording.

There should be some border between an obviously fake paper and obviously real one.

Fake papers could be used by someone to remove and cancel a real papers together with them if no good criteria is used to separate them. Chinese author name or address does not seem to be a good one.
This month I just got a new car to replace my 18-year-old Honda, which was, as you'd expect for a 2004 model year car, not connected to the internet at all.

The new car sometimes feels more complicated than my smartphone, and data collection was one of my first worries. Of course there's an app that comes along with it, and while the information and remote functionality it provides is interesting, having done without this stuff for the first 25 years of my driving life, I feel like I can easily do without it.

Another poster talks about removing the cellular modem to ensure the car can't phone home, and I'm seriously considering doing it. Though I imagine when I bring it in for service, the techs will want to reconnect it. I'm even afraid that they'll claim they can't service my car without doing. In addition to that, I do want to receive OTA updates to the car's software.

I'm curious to know if it's possible to opt out of all data collection (perhaps aided by the CCPA, as I live in California), without modifying the car's hardware. Sure, in that case I am then relying on trust (trust that is so far unearned), but I'm curious nonetheless. The thing that worries me most is location tracking, followed by the possibility that my driving "style" could be sold to my insurance company. I've filled out the CCPA opt-out form from my car's manufacturer (though that's about sale of information, not collection), but I'm sure that's woefully insufficient to actually protect my privacy.
