Ust was an obvious ponzi scheme, not an actual stablecoin.

Irresponsible people losing money on ponzis is sometimes sad - but also definitely deserved.
to be fair, the arguing over imagined minutae isn't confined to metaphysical considerations. early astronomers with telescopes also argued about how many martiopogenic canals were on Mars and had mapped and named something like 300 of them
Go to the official windows download page without a windows useragent and you get the iso instead of the crappy download tool.
Same thing happened with Tetris. For a long while it was dominated by a few folks who could hyper tap, but then someone figured out rolling—which is something “anyone” can do + even faster than hyper tapping—so that seems to be what everyone is adopting at top tier. For rolling it started with one guy and then a few months later there were like half a dozen including a couple of the hyper tappers.
White Vault was fantastic!
Looks to me the same as it is now. Figure out where to install, partition block devices, format filesystems, copy initial rootfs content somehow, configure basics like fstab, networking, setup users/passwords, install bootloader, reboot. Done.

Slackware just has very detailed documentation. :)
I have a relative who chose MAID last year, rather than suffer a fairly quick and painful death.

As a Canadian, I am happy we have this humane option. I believe it is imperative that we accept death as part of life, and each get to a point where we are accepting of death, but not seeking it without reason.

What surprised me most about the process was how quickly it occured. Once my relative made the decision, informed the appropriate parties, went through psychological tests, it was only a matter of days before they were gone.

It was shocking to me how quickly it came, but it was what THEY wanted, and they were ready. It isn't up to me, which is the right approach.
> that's the reason why Germany was relying on gas from Russia. They are not idiots.

Geopolitics pits Germany and Moscow as geopolitical rivals, as they’ve been for centuries.

If the goal was building an alliance, letting one side unilaterally cripple your industrial base without similar unilateral counterstrike options is a strategic blunder. Berlin can’t do much, unilaterally, to Moscow. Even if we assume the Lisbon-to-Vladivostok theory, the gas reliance doesn’t make sense.
Living frugally and swapping creature comforts for free time.

Then occupy yourself with something you love, but not alcohol, tv, drugs, sloth etc. as this will probably lead to depression / addiction.

For HN stereotype that could be coding the side project which is always more fun than coding at work, even though it is still bashing keys and occasionally swearing at the monitor.
I go hard and let off the gas or “quiet quit” at different times throughout the year. I have work and non work goals that get varying priority. I suspect those that don’t would benefit from a hobby. But also if they are grinding for a work goal who are you to stop them?
I just do not like self promotion. My employer does not care of my posts, they were published before signing my current contract. I have stopped writing posts by myself since I have now access to tons of documents and specifications.

Good point – it should be phrased as improved productivity. You have to think more broadly.

You are not only saving engineer time. By delivering more in a shorter amount of time, you have compounding effects across the entire organization.
Yup, this is a very common misconception. In Unix, directories are not folders. Directories are literally a directory, like a phone book. It lists files and their location on disk. A directory doesn't contain any other files. Moving a file from one directory to another only modifies the directories, not the file itself.

I've lived and worked in San Francisco and downtown San Jose, been to NYC many times, etc.

I felt the safest in Tokyo at 11PM than any of those other places.

The only places I felt a bit uncomfortable at night were super touristy areas, like Shinjuku's Kabukicho, because some bars/clubs have "hawks" or "tauts" that will try to get you to come inside, where they may drug/rob you. Usually Nigerians, but I saw some Japanese doing it as well.

Just need to have some street smarts not to go with random strangers into places like that.
My team has virtual happy hours we play a game called “code names” it’s super fun. We also have a slack team channel and just share random non work related things.

I manage it by having tech friends that live locally to me that don’t also work at the same company as me. Plenty of meetups for finding this. Just gotta out yourself out there.

What is programming not related to? Seriously a huge portion of posts here are just about programming analogies.
I never said there's no way to know. What I'm saying is that those of us who haven't studied should be humble about how much we know.

It's a choice we make all the time. For anything you read about, are you curious enough to investigate it further, or are you going to let it go by?
You're right, for the most part. We have to have hardware that doesn't lie when the data made it to disk, whatever that disk is. And we also need hardware that can do atomic updates to single sectors.

But once we have those things, and people are demanding them more and more, a copy-on-write filesystem should be perfect for emulating transactions, using that single sector atomic update to "commit" the transaction.

What you don't see in Ukraine: competent employment of combined arms.

The A10 aircraft is specifically called out as obsolete, but it is a great bomb truck. While it may be a sitting duck for a new fast jet, a more realistic mode of employment would be to tie it in with F35s or similar when in a near peer conflict.

https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/a-10-warthogs-tusks-ar...

Of course, most conflicts are not going to be near peer, so getting rid of something as useful for armed overwatch as A10s makes little sense.
You're wrong, radon isn't only found in coal mines. Testing has revealed that in some parts of the world there are very high radon levels in basements. This isn't true everywhere, it depends on local geological conditions. The mutagenic qualities of these radioactive isotopes is settled science.

Do you have a good resource for getting to grips with the current supply issues going on around the world? I'm sure there isn't just a single issue responsible for the huge variety of symptoms cropping up, but it'd be great to get past the memes and get some deeper understanding.
After going to college for journalism and graphic design in the early 90s, I decided to become a programmer, despite not having done it since I was in grade school (though, I was pretty hot shit on my TRS-80). My first book on the topic was, in retrospect, pretty crazy, but I've been a tech professional for 25+ years now, so it must have been useful. I'm speaking of The Cartoon Guide to Computers [1][2]. If there's a more quirky (but useful!) computing book than that, I'd be pretty surprised.

I remember specifically learning about flip-flops from the book, and wondering what sort of crazy magical physics made it work. It took me 20 years to finally learn it simply has to do with the timing of the electrical signal as it propagates around the gates [3].

Re-reading it again now, it's actually a surprisingly thorough overview of the history and fundamentals of computer science. I had forgotten.

In addition to userland being non-uniform there’s also outrageously quick development so everything is outdated within a few months. As such, maintenance burdens for documentation is super high. There’s also always the ArchWiki.
Brilliant reference.
A very good question. People should be able to choose where they live (that does require a more equal world though), but on the other hand, communities should have some say in who their members are and what their rules are. I do see current fixed national boundaries as problematic.
Agreed about the intro question, it took me from "I should know more about what tty means (after seeing it for many years)" to "I want to know!"
I will take this as an insult, thanks.

> Quality of Life is too fuzzy to make such a strong statement.

So it is GDP. Also environmental impact, happiness an much more.

Yet you can find plenty of lists of countries by per capita income, QoL and so on and make comparisons.

> But if we take economic output as a proxy, it's your view that is demonstrably false.

Wrong.

> You're roughly claiming that ... is not only possible but has already occurred?

It's clearly shown if you compare QoL vs environmental impact across nothern european countries, japan and US for example.

US being pretty terrible at that, to no surprise.

> Bullshit.

You can do better.

> I encourage you to read this paper by the European Environmental Bureau: https://eeb.org/library/decoupling-debunked/

From the landing page: "Is it possible to enjoy both economic growth and environmental sustainability?"

...which is nowhere close to my initial point.

And for the record I'm actually going to finish reading the pdf instead of just calling things "Bullshit"

You can even cook eggs on stainless steel pan, no need for non stick stuff.
It can be good to write things down for yourself, to think them through. But I agree that to actually teach others Linus describes it much better, without the sprinkling of errors this post has.

Like for example the author confuses the terminal for the shell. ctrl-w very much is passed right through to bash.

But the author is correct if the user types "cat\n". Now it's the terminal handling ctrl-w. But note that cat doesn't handle ctrl-a.

It's more complex than the author seems to think.

tl;dr: read the other post, not this one.

> USA ships are blocked, so Japan, Korea, Europe do nothing. The situation last for years. The freight cost goes up massively due to risk, the fuel is 2x-3x more expensive - cheap oil is gone and the last big reserve is in Arctic. Magnetic rail China-Europe is finished and you stack up 3 containers which are delivered in 48h. Land transportation became better than ships

How did a blockade around Taiwan turn into a global maritime halt? Magnetic rail and ships have similar energy inputs; if energy is going up for one it’s going up for the other. (Turning electricity into dense, portable stores isn’t trivial, but it’s comparable to long-distance electrical transport.) That rail link would also remain easier to strike than the world’s merchant fleet.

I don’t think American dominance is here to stay. But it’s highly unlikely a Europe-China nexus works, versus a rebalance America-Europe-Japan relationship. (There are no situations in which a belligerent China peacefully wins over Japan.)
A dark reminder that this could happen everywhere, everytime if your countries bank system collapses.

When my cast iron gets rusty I just keep cooking with it. The rust goes away. I assume into my food where it becomes an essential nutrient.

Typosquatting Attack Targeting 12 of Python's Top Packages
My team discovered today an attack on the Python ecosystem with multi-stage persistent malware

We instantly started researching and saw the PyPi user account devfather777 published a dozen malicious Typosquatting packages under the names of popular projects with slight permutation.

All malicious packages contain code executed upon installation and downloads custom made C++ malware hosted on the GitHub repository jagermager999/8746465cdg78cdsxasy8a with interesting capabilities

Findings were reported to the security teams of PyPi and GitHub
I appreciate the apology! Not strictly necessary though, it's the internet after all :) I also appreciate the detailed response.

I'm not sure how much of your criticism to chalk up to disagreement (totally valid!) versus me being factually wrong. E.g. while Jung and Freud have fallen out of favor with mainstream psychology, I and many others find their ideas both intellectually and practically useful. Jung in particular has helped me deal with issues around psychosis and depression. I understand it's not for everyone, but it helped me a great deal, when little else did.

> The article contains a lot more bad sources

Any specific sources I should have avoided? I went through all the links, and it's mainly Wikipedia, Nature, The Atlantic, NYT, etc, aside from one article by Tanya Luhrmann (who I think is brilliant) in Wilson Quarterly (which I know nothing about).

Again, happy to correct any factual inaccuracies.
People mock the value of BTC a lot on HN, but it’s this exact kind of risk that it helps protect against (if you self custody).

When We Eat Can Affect Our Mental Health
So wait: Rigid, Milwaukee, and Ryobi are all manufactured by the same company (TTi?)? I had no idea Is there any actual difference here or is it all marketing?

That sounds familiar - I usually say that I must be an idiot savant or something. But I don't really have the sense of an 'other' - I more think of it as a co-processor.
I believe it was the engineering school of the University of Waterloo that had (still has?) a giant pipe wrench called the Rigid Tool as their mascot.
I tend to agree. But I could see scenarios where "corporate jail" might be an option in extreme circumstances. I.e where the corp is too integral to the public to leave to whatever power games result from shaking up the company theough fines and sending executives to jail(which we should do far more of by the way...).

It also depends though. Which government? I would have far lower credence in trusting the US government with this compared to some European governments that came out of a healthier democracy than the US. But that also goes for the regulations necessary for your less radical approach.

John Wilkes Booth – Theatrical Career
I knew someone who had a ton of algorithms for very specific cases. So if he needed say an edge 3 cycle that did not disturb anything else he knew a ton of different edge 3 cycle for all kinds of different 3 edge combinations.

One day several of us were sitting around playing with our cubes, and he hit some position where none of his algorithms worked and was stuck while he tried to find a new algorithm for that position. We asked why he didn't just use a conjugate of one of his other algorithms.

That was how the rest of us did it. I for example knew one edge 3 cycle that didn't disturb anything else. Call it T. If I needed any other edge 3 cycle I'd just find some transformation g such that gTg' did what I wanted, where g' is the inverse of g. gTg' is called a conjugate of T, and the set of all gTg' is called the conjugacy class of T.

It's easy to find g, because it doesn't matter how much g messes up the rest of the cube. All that matters is that it moves the 3 edges I want to permute into the position they need to be for T. Whatever else g messes up will be restored by g'.

He was astounded when we showed him that approach. It had never even occurred to him that such a thing was possible.

The funny thing is he was a math major, and had taken (and passed with a good grade) an abstract algebra course. He definitely knew about conjugates of group elements. He had just never noticed that group theory was applicable to Rubik's Cube.
Indeed, you should focus the message to some marginal advantage if possible.

Eg, If I sell an animal feed supplement that increases cow weight by 1%, it means customers can increase output by 1%. If the same supplement can make racehorses 1% faster, that's something entirely different.

Many people were trusting a stable coin to which they had 0 understanding on how it worked. Was sad to see some people finding out that they actually didn't have any backing at all for the UST value (USDT, USDC are examples of cryptos with actual backing, though some people don't trust USDT)
Yeah, Red's precursor, Rebol, is what I thought of. It doesn't have S3 support, but the rest of this example (using print or http post or something) would be about as small and simple.

I suppose it would be using Rebol widgets though instead of native widgets, but that also means it'll work cross-platform with no changes.
How do you explain people with DID who have had no trauma?
If you buy Celsius, you should already know the added risk of buying a shitcoin and act accordingly. Meanwhile when you use a bank, then you expect to always be able to access your funds. If that social contract is broken, then you can expect real consequences. In this case it was a man making legitimate use of force to get access to his own property.

Many crypto coins attempt to solve the problem of third parties confiscating your property, and first and foremost of them is Bitcoin. That's where the moniker "unconfiscatable" comes from. And let’s face it, if the guy had instead used Bitcoin, he would never have gotten into this problem (tho the value of his holdings would indeed be very volatile).

Sure, you can always act like a criminal and make threats or use torture to get it. But IMHO that's a very quaint and sad example that only serves to prove the point, because those are the lengths you have to go to in order to get it, as it's otherwise impossible to pry out of your brains. That’s why all serious "cryptobros" suggest that your highest allocation should always be Bitcoin, before you even consider any other crypto coin. Because the quainter and more experimental the alt coin is, the higher the risk of frozen accounts or worse, a coin that goes to zero such as Luna.
