https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_Party in various countries is the closest I'm aware of. These days a party needs a program though and that needs to cover a wide variety of issues, relevant to the main cause or not. So suddenly the stance on family or taxation needs to be determined inside the party, it's more complex than I first imagined.

Skimming the abstract, my eye catched a mention of the "Lempel-Ziv". I know it's a name of algorithm used in early loseless file archivers (later replaced by Lempel-Ziv-Welch, which is used today in GIF image compression). Imagine my surprise learning that part of this algo is used now in biomedicine to measure complexity of brain activity. Truly, one never knows where things are gonna end up.
It's pretty obvious, right? What Bernstein is saying here can (and probably is) a load of horseshit, and it's still a terrible idea to trust NIST. Seems like a simple argument.
If you are in California, a 2018 law (civil code 714) makes it illegal for your HOA to prohibit solar. You have a right to put up solar even if the roof is jointly owned and controlled by the HOA.

According to the law, the HOA may make reasonable restrictions but they may not increase your cost by more than $1000 or decrease your solar efficiency by more than 20%.

So tell your HOA to shove it.
Thanks for the link. I hadn't seen this before and enjoyed it very much.

There's nothing you're going to read, with or without trustworthy standards, that is going to enable you to design safe novel applications of cryptography. Encrypting a file, setting up a secure transport, and (if you're extraordinarily careful and do a lot of reading) exchanging secure messages are all within reach without anything resembling postgraduate education.
Probably Soekris. Those were nice machines but don't seem to be available any more.
Haxe is wild to me since I recently started learning it and realised it's basically TypeScript but before TypeScript. Since it's statically typed and can hit C#/Java/C++/JS, I really want to try it in line of business applications as well.
> I want to see my team's comments within my typical editor

ahh, I remember looking at some old code that was mostly casual email-like threaded discussion between developers as comments. It explained the why of things and one could immediately start working on suggestions. It also preserved the mood. Even without changing anything one could drop a few lines and say hi 500 years later. Explain how we do such things nowadays and you have a contribution.
I use Arch almost exclusively on the desktop but I gave up on running it on servers that I don't want to actively maintain (think of small, non-critical web servers). Ubuntu works fine there.
Sorry, I picked my words carefully in that last comment.
I really don’t think there is evidence of that. Really we seem to be a lot of raw hardware with few factory programmed behaviors. Our culture and environment is the software.

It’s not any less disturbing. We like to think of ourselves as individuals with free will, but between genetics and environment, we are at best steering the car, not building the roads.
I don’t have the resource to run a 2012 search engine. Even with the CommonCrawl dataset, it’s extremely expensive and also not environmental friendly.

It's also kinda wild how long it takes for a C++ standard to land in a manylinux container. I got lucky that the manylinux2014 container contains a C++17-compatible GCC 9.3. The newer manylinux_2_24 container goes a step back and only contains GCC 6.3 because the RHEL dev toolset got lost somehow. C++17 support came with GCC7. The newest manylinux_2_28 contains GCC 10 but I fear it might create wheels incompatible with many user's systems.

On macOS they will be merged, similarly text find will match ss or ß. That said lossy case conversion is indeed a general problem, which is why the ease of case conversion in older text APIs cause problems - and indeed the general assumptions that there are cases, or whether or not the case is actually important.

But then apps also continue to believe that one key press == one character, in the face of reality - not helped by the early browser english centric APIs: onkeypress, down, etc being the primary mode of handling text entry when not deferring to the browser. There are better web APIs nowadays, and hopefully things like the standard IMEs that English people use (emoji input on macOS, for example), mean that more devs actually think about these things, though in general everytime I encounter some site taking over text entry themselves I assume that they're broken for non-english or at least non-alphabet based languages.
> We also intend to regularly publish a shorter-term roadmap on discourse alongside our usual dev updates. So stay tuned!

Definitely check out the Tweag development update posts on discourse.nixos.org if you're wondering who they are! The update posts are great, and they give you a clear sense of what Tweag's commitments are, how much they regularly contribute to Nix and the wider ecosystem, and the way they conduct software development out in the open.
That’s… some psychopath level stuff.
> I would personally add one more leading question: Can we explain music in other ways than by its harmony and chords?

Yes. We can get a lot of mileage by talking about the form and texture.

E.g., at the end of Haydn's so-called "Lark" quartet (Op. 64 No. 5) he's got a fast-paced Rondo in D major that features a virtuosic 1st violin part with continuous fast figuration. The other voices do a light accompaniment of that fast-moving line.

It moves along about as you'd expect-- you get the main rondo theme. It gets repeated. Then a contrasting theme appears in the dominant, with a little bridge back to the original theme in D. Now that section gets repeated.

You can just hear a theory teacher outlining the form and writing the boring letters of a typical rondo form on a whiteboard while the class yawns. It's nearly the same as any other boring rondo, save for the virtuosic 1st violin.

Then, for reasons known only to Haydn, the music switches to the parallel minor key and commences a full-on four-voice fugal exposition at the same fast tempo. After about thirty seconds of some highly unexpected harmonically active imitative development, the pieces changes on a dime back to the original theme in D major, as if the fugue had never happened.

Why did he do that? Was there an arrogant 1st violinist who he wanted to challenge? Was he just fucking around? I don't know the answer. But that Finale is fucking hilarious and you only need the most basic harmonic understanding to hear it.

Mozart and Haydn were constantly playing with form in similar ways to the example above. Mozart in particular played around with dynamic contrasts-- a sudden loud chord followed immediately by a soft one. That was an influence on Beethoven, for example.
>implicated democrats to be behind duplicitous and conniving schemes in which they treat Hispanics and minorities as mere pawns in their games.

If you'll allow someone to comment from the sidelines, because I can't help myself: I'm a second generation Japanese immigrant (Japanese-American), or what the Left would call a "minority" or worse "POC" ("Person Of Color") here in the US. I personally find such views, labels, generalizations, and implications nothing short of an insult to my character, heritage, and dignity.

I grew up being taught to see others for WHO they are, not WHAT they are, and treat everyone equally and fairly. "Judged by the quality of their character", as Martin Luther King once famously said.

It's one thing to be called Japanese or Asian, or even a Minority, because those are all objective facts and truths about what I am, but being called a "minority" or even worse "POC" for some worthless political game is insulting. By doing that, the Left are judging me by the "color of my skin" rather than "the quality of my character", by WHAT I am rather than WHO I am, and that's just not how people should treat each other.

I've voted strictly Republican ever since about 2016, because while I previously and still consider myself politically to be Centerist with some Conservative and Liberal leanings, it became steadily and abundantly clear to me as I aged and became wiser that I had about as little to do with the Left and Progressivism (no, not Liberalism; the Left are not Liberals) as water has to do with oil.

That's not to say I like the Republicans, necessarily, but I nonetheless find more in common with the Right and Conservatives/Liberals (who are primarily represented by Republicans) than I do the Left and Progressives (who are primarily represented by Democrats). Lesser of two evils, as they say. The Left are never getting another vote from me so long as they continue their stupid identity politics game, among many other bullshit.

This makes me want data gloves
one aspect that's a bit underrated in haxe isn't just the cross-compilation, but the macro system - it's way more powerful a macro system than the regular macros found in C/C++. It's closer to a LISP macro, but only at compile time (rather than also runtime macros).

For example, you can define a json file, and have a macro that produce a class that matches that json file's fields. It would type-check (and you get auto-complete, for example, if you called that class's fields in another function). Of course, there's nothing special about a json file...why not use a live schema fetched from the internet! https://code.haxe.org/category/macros/completion-from-url.ht...

>This is in the US.

In both my current and previous US city, downtown libraries function as de facto daytime homeless shelters. On the one hand this is good, as people in unfortunate circumstances can get Internet access, apply for jobs, and retain access to email. On the other hand some of those people browse porn, play music, and watch videos without headphones on the library computers. Others wander in off the street to have loud conversations with the front desk staff.

Where I live now, this feels like the library’s main purpose. Either as a cause or a consequence, library staff seem to see themselves as social workers first, activists second, and librarians third, as reflected in the library’s public services and calendar of events.

The article directly states that it is aware of this, and it is talking about actual distributions of linux in the sense that "desktop" makes sense. It's very clear about it, very early on.

That's also not a super useful argument in the context of desktop readiness.

> Some people just aren’t capable of learning advanced concepts.

...with current educational methods, that basically expect all students to "teach themselves on their own". Modern-day educators aren't even trying to meaningfully engage students who respond well to more direct forms of instruction, because that would involve actual, verifiable effort and "demean" their role.
Michigan State University locally here did something very similar a few years back. They claim there's a thirty year payback but seeing as how we live in the second cloudiest city in America I am skeptical. However I cut them a little slack because universities are first adopters driving science forward even when the ROI isn't always there.

But we get a lot of snow here and it is really nice to come out after it's snowed and not have to clear the snow off your car!
I think these a a good set of medium/long term goals.

"flake.nix in every repo" seems a bit of a chicken & egg thing relating to "nix should work reliably everywhere". If nix runs into problems with common situations, it's less likely there'll be a flake.nix. But, if it's rare to spot a flake.nix file, it's harder to be interested in nix.

Rather, I think most of the comments I see from people who are less than happy about nix as-is relates to friction from trying to use nix, but things go wrong.
One reason I'm not confident in solar is there are a lot of small-scale installations, but fewer large ones. If the economics of it are so great, you'd think economies of scale and better locations would make it more cost effective than small installations. My theory about what's going on is there are tax breaks for small scale operators that make it marginally profitable on paper.
So... Common pattern:. NSA, it's representatives or affiliates make claims that longer key lengths are unnecessary or have too much of a performance cost.

So... I make the claim again. Let's multiply all key lengths by 10. Ie. 2048 bit RSA becomes 20480 bit RSA.

Who here thinks that's a bad idea? Previously on HN such ideas have been downvoted and comments have been made against them. I wonder, who has it been doing that, and what were their motives?

It surely matters some. We have a nearly 100% literate society. All people can work with the basic of numbers. All people have the basics of nationalistic myth making, which is a critical part of having a stable nation. People have lots of practice in following orders for small rewards. Not all that much is taught up through high school, but the things that are are important for raising the baseline, even just a little.

As for College, it is a lot of signaling, but it also gives practice taking in lots of new information when the expectations of performance are much higher and much closer to that of a typical professional job. It takes that low bar of high school and adds onto it significantly, and the hope is that even if the information was not useful, the ability to assimilate a few books worth of information within in a few weeks of starting a new job will not be a new experience.
Yup, I've stopped looking for the entry point in SPAs and apps. Often the navigation flow can be extremely convuluted.

Android introduced navigation graphs [1], which were meant to solve this problem. But what happened in reality were instead of arrows point to each screens, there would be multiple islands that were teleported in from random places.

On all phones I owned USB-C port weared out very quickly, so it couldn't be charged and data couldn't be transferred anymore. And it's pretty expensive to repair a USB-C port on a device.

Transmission losses might only be 5%. You can make up for that by putting panels in sunnier locations (Mojave desert vs SF) at better angles and with economies of scale. A homeowner with rooftop solar will spend more servicing panels than a large scale operator.
Personally I hate the trend of only charging over type-c. It's an order of magnitude less robust and far more prone to falling out than, say, a ThinkPad connector. Having the option is nice but I despise having to babysit my $100 Asus charger lest I stomp it flat by accident.
They're even different sexually.

Last year I learned from the mainstream media that echidna penises have four glans (heads). Researchers from the Universities of Melbourne and Queensland and Monash University studied the structure. An article [0] in Melbourne Uni's magazine gives a technical overview and refers to the peer-reviewed paper [1].

They only use two at a time. The researchers speculate that two can rest while the other two are in use, outcompeting proto-echidnas with fewer glans.

On a sad note, the research studied echidnas injured in road accidents, handed in to the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary on the Gold Coast, that had been euthanised. I imagine the numbers available are the result of the rapid urbanisation in the area.

I would rather go back to the days when phone screens were under 5" so not only did they easily fit in a pocket, but I could also operate them securely with one hand, easily reaching every corner of the screen with my thumb, without having to slide the phone around in my hand.

And bring back portrait slider keyboards, and replaceable batteries (only Motorola appears to still offer these) while you're at it. I could do 10X more real work on my old smart phone than I can on any modern one.

And no, a bluetooth keyboard is no help. Unless it attaches securely and compactly to the phone, and charges itself from the phone as well, it's going to be a neglected accessory always left at home and unavailable when needed.
> I remember wondering: "why is this fun?"

Other than the tactility of the UI (which is a major part of the game), the reason, i believe, it is fun is because the game's mechanics matches that of the actual role you play in the story. Many games don't really get this correct (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludonarrative_dissonance).

In papers please, your decisions aren't clear cut, like in a regular RPG game, where you can "choose" to be a good guy or a bad guy by selecting one of two options, and one is clearly meant to be the good choice with the good ending, and the other bad. Papers please actually make you think like someone surviving a authoritarian regime, and your actions reflect that role too (you would, for example, choose not to feed, if family isn't absolutely hungry, or that you would attempt to deny entry as fast as possible, since a denied entry doesn't make you any money - no room for sympathies).

It makes the game feel "real".
I used a cellphone holster for years as a teen because one came with my first BlackBerry. I think I only stopped once I got my first touchscreen phone in a modern form factor that didn't fit my holster. Had some tense moments at a couple of metal detectors when reaching for the holster to put my phone in the tray.
