The real world is filled with forces that want to crush you. The government creates an alternative reality game with law and order to isolate you from the harshness of reality.

If you complain about the only source of violence to you being the government, then congratulations the system is working for you. Some poor, especially black people think the opposite, that their government has abandoned them and left them exposed to both violence by fellow people and authorities who abuse their powers. What do they want? To be treated like their rich or white fellow citizens.

Ask HN: Recommendations for a comprehensive and deep guide to OAuth?
Hi,

I am looking for a super comprehensive guide to OAuth. It can be a book, a course, a series, whatever resource it is.

I know most will suggest looking at the documentation. Unfortunately, that is not my best style of learning. And to be honest, I feel like I wouldn't know where to start with the docs if I do not have a great idea of the workflows, resources and terminologies.

I have a working knowledge, the base stuff you learn from Udemy. Basically generating tokens and then making requests blah blah.

I want to go deeper than that. I want to understand the underpinnings of Authorization Servers, transport layers and protocols, sessions, management, servers etc.

I want to get to a point where I could actually architect (high level) my own Identity Provider. Not that I want to do it, maybe I do, but that is how deep I want to master OAuth.

I want to eventually be able to take something like Ory Hydra, break it and customize it to my own liking. I believe this would take more than just understanding what a token or JWT is.

So any advice would be dearly appreciated.
ASK HN: Any advice on bad GoTo-support?
I'm quite desperate so I want to ask, whether you might have some advice or similar experiences with bad customer-support at GoTo?
We implemented the GoToWebinar-APIs in may 2022. Our customers were quite happy, however we are facing an API-request limit of 500 calls per day. Thus, having an event with 1500 participants takes several days to create using the API.

There are ways to lift the API-Client to production-mode by calling the support. And there is the problem:
GoTo support is refusing or is just unable to help. Several mails and conversations later we still have no solution. Even worse, the support takes two to four weeks to answer requests and is seemingly unwilling to help- I even got asked, whether I want to downgrade my account (???).

I'm actually thinking about ditching the GoTo-integration and move to competitors like Zoom. Even if this will result in an investment of work. Also our clients would not be happy to move to another provider due to their habits. Finally, I don't know whether the customer-support is on the same, inacceptable level.

Do you have made similar experiences with GoTo or other providers like Zoom?
Did you need to do anything to support HiDPI displays in those 10+ years old forms?
There has been a lot of progress in cameras for smartphones, for very good reasons. And I mean a lot, see the physical design of a modern smartphone lens for example. I would guess that laptop cameras got hit with extra protection because they're "too close" to what's considered core intellectual property for a camera-maker. But it's just a guess really.
Ask HN: If you've used both MATE and XFCE, what pros and cons did you find?

Depends. Slow development frameworks such as react or vue may take a while. Vanilla js with something like axios should be straight forward. All you need is calls back and forth to your server to fetch and apply data. A trivial thing.

Edit: However, my challenge is on wether it can be done or not. Delphi is cool, and tbh any tool you are an expert in will let you do something quicker than a tool thats new for you. It will probably take me a while to achieve the same goal in delphi.
I've had to switch to linux full-time on my latitude for precisely this reason. It sleeps perfectly and the battery life is a lot better on linux than on windows.

The good thing about Dell is that they ship with linux on certain configurations, so linux installs are very robust with the caveat that you will not see the agressive fan curves or higher tdp limits that you can get on windows.
I just have to say that Embracer Group is the perfect name for a megacorp buying up everything.

Or, Google Analytics. Or Google ads. Or, if you return to Google and try other links for the same query. Or if you return to Google and refine the query (e.g., a new search where the term is within a predefined threshold of word vector similarity)

There are plenty of ways to approximate time spend on link.
I don't know.

Yes, Google indexed many gu.com site hits, so then I believe there must have been a link to those pages somewhere and sometime which the Google crawler found. But searching for those short gu.com URLs now shows no external page hits on Google. (try searching for "gu.com/p/3menc" or "gu.com/p/cqekc" for instance)
Can’t decide what I hate more: the pandering or the infantalization or the forced cheerfulness of it all.

I don't think you've read my reply correctly. If a law were to come out that said "you can't sell any more X unless it complies with Y" we would still have billions of devices that don't comply with Y. So even if a law about open hardware/firmware were to pass in the next few years, we would still need a huge reverse engineering effort to open up all the older devices. Unless you want to argue that, yes, we should forget about those older devices and all jump on the new compliant platform, I think pushing hard for good reverse engineers is a very implortant priority
Don't let the bad rap hinders you.
That has not been my (small) experience with the mailing lists.

You propose a change:

- if it's interesting, you will get advice on how to make it good

- if it's good it will get committed

- if it's not relevant, you will be told

Here are some examples: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=155934125101222&w=2 https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=156256473722583&w=2

Yes, I do believe in the right to a trial. The right to trial gives us an opportunity to reevaluate our own laws and see where they may conflict of fall short and so create room to improve them as we evolve.

If you take away the right to a trial and just throw the law books as they are at people, with no flexibility and human consideration, our laws will likely remain archaic and most likely oppressive. The law must be in accordance with the people of the time, for after all, they are the country.

Also, you will find that circumstances around crimes vary a lot and considerations for these variables ought to be made. A non-flexible approach that does not involve these considerations quickly becomes inconsiderate and perhaps even oppressive.

A trial also reduces the chance of bias and irregularity in the dishing out of justice. Leaving the fate of a person in the hands of one person's interpretation and determination can be a slippery slope.
My guess would be that monks ate a lot of meat and other varied food than the average medieval peasant.
I can relate to that. Fell of a bike last week going 15-20 kph, my backpack with 14" MBP M1 fell on the pavement and slided a few meters -- not a scratch (or dent) on that thing. And there's nothing in my backpack to soften the blow!

A lot of people in Greece simply didn't pay taxes because they could easily get away with it. It might be okay if a few people do it, but if everyone does it, it destabilises the country and the damage will go beyond politicians losing their seats.
I have used the word "re-emit" in the sense of the Maxwell equations description of electromagnetic fields. You are right that the light definitely does not get absorbed and then re-emitted in the sense you mean. In such a case, everything you wrote would be correct. (I probably should have used a term like "radiate" and perhaps dipoles instead of electrons to be more clear.)

I was trying to describe the propagation of light in a material, where the optical field induces oscillations in the dipoles of the material, and these dipoles in turn excite the optical field. This happens constantly in every nanometer of the material, and it is difficult to experimentally separate the field into the "material" portion and the "vacuum" portion, because it exists as an everchanging mixture as long as there are dipoles around.

As for the "rails", the way I've had it explained to me is that in one direction of a polarizer, electrons are free to move, so they fully absorb the light polarized in that direction. In the perpendicular direction, they are bound, and the best they can do in reaction to a field is oscillate back and forth a tiny bit. These oscillations excite an optical field again and it propagates further until it finds another dipole to excite. I like to crudely imagine a polarizer as the grid of a nanoscopic egg slicer :D. Field oscillations will get absorbed along the metal wires, but in the perpendicular direction, it will just excite vibrations in the wires, which will radiate them out again, sort of like a guitar string.

Let me know if this was helpful, or if I've made a mistake somewhere :).

IMHO, the reason Lisp is so productive (cf 40+ years in Lisp, and nearly every other language!) is functional style married with a builtin and naturally integrated graphdb. And as everyone eventually (re)discovered, every complex application needs a graphdb, and functional style makes coding seem like writing in a natural language. So lisp is the closest programming language to the way you think.
evaluation and the peer review process all pretty much ignore the supplementary materials, so leaving them until the end is kind of systematically encouraged.

Our world will burn up to a crisp before anything like this comes to pass. Human Nature is borne in selfishness, and anytime I read the words ‘Save the Planet’ I begin to twitch.

Humans will continue to travel at the fastest speed to the most desired locations that they can afford as often as possible. Altruism is great as a neighborhood-level practice but as public policy, it is leading us to an extinction event.

Carbon needs to be priced at true cost upstream for any changes to happen. If it costs $100,000 to fly to Nice, guess what? You’re going to stay home and find a new appreciation for Vancouver. Or, if your desire is great enough, innovate a means of travel that you can afford.

More importantly, articles like this are deleterious to the actual work of degrowth and drawdown. These are existential problems at scale. We need to get real about human nature and stop imagining we can recycle or electric car our way out of the looming extinction event.

>> similarly as some vegans are saying that oysters can be eaten since they're sustainable and clean the oceans

Never heard that argument, but it seems like a misunderstanding. Peter Singer made the point that oysters have no nervous system and are therefore as plant-like as animals can come and probably non-sentient. The fact that oysters clean the oceans would also be a pretty strange argument. That's why there are so chock full of contaminants and pathogens in most places and many countries have special allowances to make them street legal when virtually any other food with the same toxin contents would be banned.
Linux as primary desktop os since about 2004, before that Windows 95, 98, 2000, XP.

I've spent a few years with both of them, and in the end, I dind't find them to be much different (from gnome 2 either), one has a cute mouse as a mascot.

They're both excellent and could be configured to fit my fancies.. In the end I probably preferred xfce for some reason I can't quite put a finger on..

3 years ago I switched to i3 and haven't considered switching again.. I still keep xfce around for a few specific uses that relates to running old computergames on WINE where it's more effort that I'm willing to put in to get them to work.
If you upload the source code first, someone else might use it while you wait for the months that the paper publication process takes. That's a risk if you want to claim your idea as new.

That's no excuse not to update arXiv, though. They have a form to submit code and supplemental URLs after publication. They also allow you to post a new PDF revision with supplementals attached.
Clearly the end game for Google is to, also, become TikTok. 100% algorithmically sorted original content.
Maybe the bootleg page could be a source of inspiration?

It has a garbage/content ratio of 32 (the browser downloads 32 bytes for every byte of content) while the original page has a 400 ratio (the browser downloads 400 bytes for every byte of content). It's borderline denial of service attack against the visitor.

The original also has a slow aggressive cookie box that is unnecessary as visitors can be spied on using server logs, no need to have cookies for the spy infrastructure. The bootleg has no cookie box (though does set a couple of gratuitous cookies, and does load one gratuitous googleanalytics.js, so maybe it does the right thing in a non-compliant way).

Maybe all these factor make the original page look "less good" to google quality ranking? (which would be ironic given Google's general leadership of the Orgy of Waste school of web design.) Also if google starts ranking such pages up they may expose themselves to class action lawsuits as users could ask for a refund for the power, hardware and telecom bills incurred in being lead to load them?
The moment you define “rich people”, though, all people who fit that definition will suddenly transfer all of their assets to their spouses and immediately divorce them, heh. Assessing a person's actual worth is not an easy task. Not impossible, mind you, but not easy.

It would be great if you could actually buy it for €300 - the current price for a minimum configuration is almost twice as much which makes it much less attractive.
I don't buy it. Google search of basic programming concepts give almost always as top results sites like geeksforgeeks and other Indian proto-spam sites with very obnoxious sign-up floats covering up everything, while the content is almost copy pasted from docs or other sites. Google rarely gives you the official documentation or tutorials at the top. You have to restrict with site: (to the point I have "search engines" doing just that "site:").

It seems there's a new one I haven't seen before called appdividend blog, from India too. And another one "DelftStack", allegedly from Netherlands (tweets from 2019 and weird lack of info). programiz, from Nepal (you have to dig to find it).

What should these search pages give, in order: Official documentation, then Stack Exchange and similar, then real people's blogs, and at the very bottom on page 25 these spammy copy-n-paste sites/blogs.

Google is full of developers, so they have to know about this but for some reason the company does nothing about it. Almost like the company is fully driven by ad revenue and doesn't want users to find actual content.
As lame as it is, it's not really plagiarism when there is attribution, even if it is non obviously that URL at the top of the page.

In my opinion, this question is impossible to properly answer in the framework of Maxwell's equations / field representation, since it cannot be defined in those terms.

If I were to answer this question in terms of photons as small amounts of field oscillations, I would argue that these are "new" photons, due to the fact that the "old" ones induced oscillations in the dipole moment of the material, which then in turn radiated energy out as the "new" photons.

But you can just as easily think of it as the material "suggesting" a better direction to the field propagating through it, and thus reorienting it. This is just very difficult to imagine and describe, at least for me.

I know the EE & ME worlds, senior generally implies at least two decades of experience. I'm pretty sure the same is also true for civil engineering, and most of the other "hard" engineering practices.

It seems like (at least outside of the military) the duration to being senior and the importance of things not going wrong are correlated.
Yeah everyone is fine with hardcoding API URLs, even submitting the resulting client to an app store.

You're not going to fix that unless you (initially) make the URLs unpredictable (that is, make the links the only way to know a URL).

But that will (initially) be costly to do. And is probably annoying to your API consumers as well.

So only consider this if you need reduced coupling and there is clear value in avoiding hardcoded URLs.
If you are searching for docs, then https://devdocs.io/ might be better than a regular search engine.
This article is a bit of a diatribe. Loren Graham's Lysenko’s Ghost: Epigenetics and Russia (which they cite) is a more careful analysis of the same history. There seem to be two distinct reasons for a resurgence of interest in Lysenko. Some people, without serious understanding of the poor quality of his work, see him as a symbol of the independence of Russian science. Another group, interested epigenetics, thinks there might some fruitful ideas in Lamarckism after all.
That can’t (and arguably shouldn’t) be done.
