King Baudouin of Belgium tried to exercise his power in the 90s by refusing to sign the abortion law, citing his catholic faith.

The law got signed in to effect anyway. The "trick" was that parliament can sign laws in to effect if the king is incapacitated. They declared him incapacitated, signed the law, and declared him "capable" again the next day. Whether that was truly legal and in accordance to the letter of the law was a matter of some debate (in my reading of the text, it's not), but I expect things will go in a similar fashion for the British monarchy if Charles really tries to use his "hard power" (rather than "soft power"/influence) in any way.
I don’t get why in the US people still use SMS.

I believe we have witnessed the passing of a truly great human being, born into power within a system that is completely unjust. She could have disrupted her society, but instead she did her best to maintain the culture while helping as many as she could and harming as few as possible.

I am an American, and I am grateful to have been among her contemporaries in a way that I cannot say that about any other British monarch.
You think she enjoyed the trappings of wealth? I never had that impression. And no, she didn't "sign up for it", she became Queen as a result of birth. Yes, she could have abdicated but the fact that she chose duty is to her credit. She was not faultless, but it's difficult to imagine another monarch doing a better job. I say all this as an anti-monarchist. I don't want one, but if we have to have one, she was the best.

It was making the browser download files with the .gz extension, instead of serving the content in a way that the browser would display. TL;DR it was broken at the time. But it was a very long time ago.
Really interesting and potentially useful product. And congrats on launching a thing. I'll try to remember this the next time I'm looking to buy something and trying to choose.

I've noticed a couple of product categories that are interesting to me that are missing here. From your message commenting how it's implemented, it seems like it's extremely labor-intensive to add new product categories; may be you should put something in there for users to suggest new categories to you.

Finally, I'll share a painpoint I often run into into when researching a new purchase: I live in Europe, and for many things a lot of reviews are very US-centric. Some products are not available here, and others are at a much higher price that should change recommendations.

I'm not sure how exactly you could tackle this, if there is any way to distinguish between US-centric reviews... just something I have to work around when looking at laptops, power tools, airsoft equipment...
As a customer you're reviewing the overall experience, not the host. Whether or not something can readily be changed by the host (and actually, there's very little a host genuinely can't change - if the location is terrible, they could sell that property and buy another one in a more suitable location!) is irrelevant to potential customers deciding whether a property is suitable for their accommodation.
Do AirBnB also remove positive reviews that praise things the hosts can't change?
This is pretty cool, but...

Authentication seems to be done with a query string ?api_key=KEY instead of some kind of standard header.

Also, there is a query string "format" for changing the output, ?format=json. Instead of using the Accept header :/
I wasn't trying to be pessimistic, just trying not the fall for the "too good to be true" hype machine common in tech (e.g. new batteries with 100x the capacity are right around the corner, carbon nanotubes uses, etc...).

Is this a new idea, though? It's not like supersonic commercial jets are a new thing and they haven't been built. The economics of building a commercially viable production supersonic plane is much more difficult to do than building a car or writing a new website to disrupt Facebook or Google.

I 100% agree that people need to be exploring this stuff. That being said, I'll believe it when I see it.
That's what you're told, but you don't know that. The algorithm is opaque.

Even if the algo is fair to you, it could be devastating to the more feeble-minded.. And you would never know, until some clownish grifter caricature became leader of the free world, wink. Even then, how would you trace that critical little 2% vote shift back to a particular algorithm?
Funny thing is: $_ is a valid Java variable name.

> dcodeIO (from the AssemblyScript community) was definitely not behaving in good faith

I certainly disagree with that take. I don’t see any bad faith, I only see one person being frustrated because his concerns were being thrown under the rug as "non important", I would recommend you to read on dcode's blog to learn more about it [1]. There are always things to improve regarding how we communicate, of course, but those should not be used as a weapon to attack or dismiss someone but as means to improve.

It's also important to note that a few months after, the Wasm committee realized of the mistake and actually tried to solve it with the Wasm Stringref proposal [2].

The way I see the issue is not about UTF-8 vs UTF-16 but about how valid concerns were completely dismissed in what's supposed to be an open community

Redbean is a webserver. Go is not a webserver. Redbean cannot be "faster than Go". That's like saying that a car is faster than aluminum. Do you have benchmarks of Redbean versus Caddy that you can point to? I certainly haven't been able to find any.

I also haven't been able to find any in-depth independent benchmarks of Redbean. About the only thing I could find was someone struggling to reproduce the benchmark results.[0]

Personally, I've dealt with more than enough memory safety vulnerabilities caused by no programmer being good enough to write safe and correct C (or C++). Those vulnerabilities are easily prevented by choosing just about any other language people are likely to know about... so, I have no desire to deploy anything like Redbean when alternatives exist. It's cool to see the hacks they've been able to do with Cosmopolitan to make cross platform binaries, but hacks like that are not what I want for anything other than educational purposes, at least not until they've been more battle tested.

Yes, all of the British voted to remain. None of the Argentine, or other South Americans were legally allowed to cast a ballot. I guess that's the UK's idea of a democracy.
The problem isn't that Apple does not allow torrent clients. The problem is that Apple dictates what software people are allowed to run on the hardware they own.

The EU will end this with DMA:

"new rules specifically targeted to address companies like Apple that have "a dual role" with control over both hardware and software look to allow any developer to gain access to any existing hardware feature, such as "near-field communication technology, secure elements and processors, authentication mechanisms, and the software used to control those technologies."

Ah absolutionists. Either we can all drink bleach or we're trapped in some orwellian hellscape of ruination to succor a distant memory of the time we could huff the sweet ichor of airplane glue in peace.

We as a society generally need criminal justice reform, but it wont come at the hands of addressing the illness of addition through exploring space instead. better bus schedules doesnt magically demilitarize the multibillion dollar industry predicated on a loophole in the thirteenth amendment. I can only hope the decriminalization of psychedelic drugs is predicated on sound research but alas, it feels like most SF legislation is brinksmanship between seattle and portland to see who can pedal their city into oblivion fastest with random virtue signalling.
Happily for me, MMS efficiently destroys the dreams of the kind of people who send long animated GIFs to group chats.
The link they give for Kevin Kelly coining the word, is in fact him (correctly) crediting Brian Eno with coining it:

I tried caddy for my home setup. Replacing nginx and traefik. I am wondering if I should ditch them in production too. I am hesitant, cause I don't see caddy as "business" software: nginx has a learning curve and configuration to master, where caddy just does the job, sane defaults and not much to "work".
It just doesn't feel like work using caddy...
Now if only we could have an API to vote ...

Huh. Windows is usually anywhere between bad to horrible at IO compared to alternatives. 2GB processing (usually mixtures of regex, summarizing data, summing fields extracted) shouldn't take more than a few seconds. Even on a slow disk, say 100MB/s, we are talking 20s. On faster SSDs, and NVMe, its very snappy.

If you are waiting minutes ...

> Windows 10 and 11 are a pleasure to use: between the Windows Terminal and tools like AutoHotKey, there's no Linux equivalent, even for a commandline geek.

Huh. I'm happy that $dayjob gave me the option of getting off my horrible Dell workstation laptop (8 core, 64 GB ram, nvidia graphics) and onto a mac pro m1. While the keyboard diff is annoying, karabiner elements fixes most of that. I still ask for a linux laptop at ever opportunity though, as this is what I'm most functional with. Easily the best/fastest experience I've had for dev/admin, and the most stable. Mac is a close second.
Don't they call it OpenAPI now?
I am viewing the standard version of HN at 270% on a 4K screen. The main reason is not the font size but the layout.

Only at that zoom level would the page span the entire width of the screen and wrap the text around.
Not shown on that page: the price tag. MSRP is $100,000.
They're essentially just saying they run multiple instances of Caddy, and those instances are reached by clients via Anycast. This isn't anything specific to Caddy, that's networking-level stuff, in front of Caddy.
I use 200% and I'm in my 20s. Nothing wrong with reading comfortably!
I think humans have evolved to need rulers and hierarchy to look up to to some extent. Look at what happened to Americans -- once the UK royalty was gone it was replaced with celebrity. It's just human nature.

What does it mean to "afford" the burden and be "fine"? Yes, a collapse of the EU economy and the EUR is unlikely, but other things are already happening: massive heating and electricity bills for businesses and individuals. Companies going bankrupt. Manufacturers of essential materials shutting down. And so on and so forth.

How does this reconcile with warnings by the Belgian government that we can expect between 5 and 10 hard years? Or the comment by the French president, that the "end of abundance" has arrived - which perhaps wouldn't be so bad, if it really were an era of abundance for large parts of EU societies.

As tests of a "new" government go, the implementation of Operation "London Bridge" (Protocol related to the period of mourning, state funeral and coronation) is certainly going to be an interesting one to watch unfold.

With the track record of successive Tory governments however... Interesting for perhaps the wrong reasons.

Unlikely to unite the nation either.
She was "obscenely rich" whether she did her job or not. She did it anyway.
Large companies like Stripe use Caddy. It's definitely not a toy. It is, and has been production ready for many years.
The queen (or king) can abdicate but would not have the power to abolish the British monarchy. That's a constitutional change and would presumably take a Parliamentary act.
"Delete the whole" is not how threads work on HN. The way that threads work on HN, assuming that they're on topic, is that people should post intellectually curious comments and avoid posting unsubstantive or predictable ones.
Really, I thought she removed the titles. Where is the story about her regranting them?
I think it’s incredibly naive to suggest that she could have abolished the monarchy just like that.

What about the legal system in the UK/Canada/Australia that have it in constitution that she as a veto to the passing of new laws as a balance.

Could the system be made not to require the monarchy anymore? Sure, it’s purely ceremonial and has been for her entire reign, but to say that the monarch can make that decision at whim on behalf of 15 countries is just not true.
I'm glad they acknowledged the lng vs lon issue, it was really bothering me.

Hope this site grows to include +/-, E/W N/W, 0-360, and decimal minutes as well.
I'm pretty sure she didn't do it for the money but from some sense of moral duty. Don't forget, she took reign right after one of the worst wars in history.

Tons of Mirrors: Solving Solar Energy's Night-Time Problem
Queen Elizabeth's mother was also "Queen Elizabeth" as wife of the king, until her daughter took the throne and she became the "Queen Mother" to distinguish which Queen Elizabeth.

(This is not the same as her mother being Queen Elizabeth I, which was the tudor queen from the 1500s, wife-of-king queens don't take up a number).

It's a weird bit of asymmetry to the husband-of-queen title being decided on an adhoc basis, having been a prince of denmark, prince-consort of the united kingdom and prince of the united kingdom respectively.

Nanite in consoles already uses mesh shaders. On PC it emulates them through some trickery but having it using real mesh shaders would be only a small change in code.
"Free Speech" in the west is the concept that the government cannot use its power to silence your opinions or expression.

It has been co-opted fairly recently -by some- to mean that no one can silence you anywhere. This is a new interpretation, and unrelated to the USA constitutional right to free speech.

This has never been the case. If you say something offensive to me in my house, I can rightfully remove you. You can continue to say the thing somewhere else, just not in a private house.

Hacker News -in this instance- is a private house. If they allowed unlimited free speech, they would have to allow personal attacks, spam, off-topic submissions, etc... Part of the value of HN is that the speech IS NOT free.

You and I can come here and trust that the conversations will meet a standard, banning people who flagrantly abuse that standard is also a form of free speech.

edit: after seeing your edit, it looks like this is a disingenuous question intended to start a flamewar. If that isn't your intention, you should be careful about how you phrase things.
That's true, I can't remember the phrasing but wanting a more 'slimmed down working royal family unit' as it were is another thing he's been vocal on. But I would say it has gone a lot more that way in recent years anyway, through some combination of the Queen agreeing/easing into it and 'helped' by some external factors of course.
It's not like 2022 where she could've said "yeah, not for me, I'm moving to Santa Barbara".

Plenty of monarchs have done just that including her very own uncle.

I'm not sure what GP is speculating about either but as for succession, AFAIK sovereign countries in the commonwealth have their own rules. The head of state of Canada was not the Queen of England, it was the Queen of Canada, and theoretically nothing would stop the heir to those positions being different. In fact this was momentarily a topic of conversation in Canadian news outlets as the UK was talking about changing the rules of succession to be gender neutral and whether that would make for different heirs if the rest of commonwealth didn't change their rules in step. In practice that was moot since Prince William's firstborn was male.
To be technical, I'd actually argue there were four. The first Concorde reached production & was later redesigned to include an afterburner (or reheat). Why I forget, but it apparently did actually save some fuel since it was used while accelerating to supersonic then shut off.

The Tu-144 went the opposite direction. Introduce with military engines which require full time afterburner. Later it was redesigned and re-engined with a non-military engine not needing afterburner all the time.

So two airframes, but with four distinct airplanes produced as a result.

None of these were particularly economical, to your point.

I have not violated any guidelines here. My language is civil, and my content relevant to the HN mod's recent ban of a certain account.

This is meta navel-gazing and is generally not considered on-topic or useful here. That's probably the main reason for the downvotes.

To try to answer the question though, since we're already here:

There are two (at least two) definitions of "free speech" in the US. The "strict" one related to the Constitutional principle enshrined in the 1st Amendment which basically means that the government can't make certain speech illegal and then put you in jail or otherwise punish you for what you say. For better or worse, the courts have generally ruled that there are limits to that though, hence the old saw about "yelling fire in a crowded theatre".

Beyond that, some people look at free speech in a colloquial sense as meaning something like "I can say anything I want, anywhere I want, anytime I want, and nobody can interfere in any way with my doing so". This would mean, for example, that a private web-forum like HN banning an account could be seen as a violation of "free speech". This is not even close to a universally accepted definition, but at this point I guess we could say it's close to being "widely adopted" at worst.

I think most Americans though, accept that as an individual no one of us has standing to compel another individual, or private organization, to assist in transmitting, propagating, relaying, or distributing our speech. So HN banning an account may be distasteful to some people, but it's not a violation of the principle of "Free Speech".

YMMV.
It looks like the author wasn't able to pull all the gadgets together into a working exploit, after finally being stymied by the fact that Rust surrounds the stack with guard pages (which are intended to catch accidental stack overflow, but fortuitously appear to also provide some protection against deliberate exploits as well). But it could have easily gone the other way, and exploits there might be still be possible (though obviously the code in question is many years out of date by now). It still serves to demonstrate the importance of auditing your unsafe blocks, the value of unsafe blocks in the first place (which is, I suspect, how this exploit was discovered in the first place), the value of additional tools to verify unsafe code (e.g. Miri, Kani), and the reason why Rust still goes to all the trouble of implementing runtime mitigations despite its memory safety guarantees.
Except there is? Mass consumption of this particular flavor of garbage has real consequences.
I always find React/Vue comparisons with vanilla JS so curious, as if there's feature parity. No one would say "I rewrote this Flask REST API in vanilla Python".
