If your system isn't performant, it's shit. Performant is relative to what you're trying to do and how picky your users are, but at some point you're going to be optimizing for milliseconds without question.
When you're young the thought of death is terrifying, but when you're old (whatever age that is) death is expected and sometimes welcomed. I remember my grandmother, who died when she was 99, joking about being alive too long, but there's an element of truth to it.

Absolute hogwash. If it was a strain it was because swearing in ministers is real work, a lot of it, and she is 96 years old.
I wish this were more of an SPA with an account system/db of it's own, I'd even pay for a subscription (small one). I'd basically like there to be a mobile app and desktop version that no matter where I read an article, it's marked read. I use materialize and hckrnews now, if both of these could keep track of the same bookmarks, visited links, and maybe allow note taking or creating groups of saved things, that'd be awesome. Also notifications and a messaging system like reddit has would be cool...in fact I just want a redditized HN experience lol.
Thank God none of this currently happens with drugs being illegal.
tl;dr: The article describes the details of Firecrackers architecture and CVE-2019-18960, which (as you can imagine) got fixed long ago.
This story of how she pranked a couple of hikers near Balmoral is priceless:

I'd like to other blogs which of announcement of being current. There are deprecated notice I have seen, else things are considered current by default.
I can't imagine that masks alone were the reason. I use them for two 1h commutes per day and I simply can't understand how they are such an issue. It is a bit annoying but you get used to it. Even longer distances like three hours are easily manageable.

I would understand tough, if they would switch to the car because of increased risk of catching the virus.
I'm in a similar spot as you. I've also taken to holding on to the original packaging of this thing as a bit of an albatross, but so long as there's the slightest chance of needing to move this thing, I need the original styrofoam and cardboard. I've already gotten use out of it a few times.
The most useful Twitter comment I saw today described the Queen as "iconic".

And I realised that's exactly what she was. She was iconic in the religious sense - an embodied icon of a nationalist religion.

This suddenly made a lot of things about the current state of the UK much clearer.

There is no practical sense in which she was genuinely "grandma of the nation." That personification goes one way only - from the population to what psychologists would call a parental projection.

Objectively she paid almost no attention to her subjects, except for a tiny number who were socially or financially notable.

She may have been witty and personable socially - as reported by many people - and perhaps the most interesting thing about her as an individual is that she trained as a mechanic during the war, taking delight in a job that women didn't usually do, and continued that interest through her life.

But I find the crypto-religious elements of the UK's (actually mostly just England's) relationship with her very unsettling.

And I genuinely believe she could have done far more for the people of the UK than she did. Especially recently.

Monarchy is a strange thing. When I flew to Bali on a Thai airline in the 90s a fair few pages of the inflight magazine were full of carefully manicured praise for the talents of the reigning monarch.

It seemed bizarre and alien. But over time I realised the UK has a similar relationship with its monarchy.

And where Heads of State are nominally expected to work for the Greater Good, it seems to be assumed that monarchs do the same, mostly by modelling social ease and extreme privilege.

This is all quite odd. I'm sure there are reasons for it - possibly evolutionary - and I suspect they're not obvious.

Doesn't seem like it addresses the problem of awkward wall spaces at all, vs a stow-away screen of some type.
bigger in population?

Or are countries *joining* ?
Yeah, I hate this kind of weakly justified pessimism. Sure, if you just assume every new idea will fail you'll be right 95% of the time. But if everyone did that we'd be stuck in the dark ages.

I applaud people and organizations that take that chance, innovating and trying new things even when there's a high chance of failure. Worst-case, they fail and other people can learn from their mistakes and hopefully do better next time. Best case, they change the world.
Is anyone surprised? The rest of the world has already ditched SMS. In the US Apple wants the iPhone ecosystem to be as closed as possible.
yes, and i find it disturbing. either a feature is there, then it should be visible at all times, or it should be off completely. while i am reading my eyes are tracking the locations of those buttons/links so that i can quickly move the mouse to use them. if they are hidden that slows me down and gets in the way. it makes sense on small screen like mobile where it is better to use the space to show more content and have actions hidden behind a menu, but not on the desktop.
You don't choose the royal life, the royal life chooses you.
> We might still want the whole concept destroyed

Be very careful what you wish for. As a French, living under the rule of an elected monarch who changes often, but doesn't answer to anyone during their reign, there is something extraordinary to see the British PM bow to the Queen, and do that (I think?) every week.
There is never a doubt about the line of succession, it is William, then his 3 children (aged 9, 7, 4).

If there are any disasters, making a 9 year old next in line to the throne voluntarily sounds like it.
Well I'm sure the EU will be delighted to hear this.

As explained here [0], it will soon be mandatory for all large messaging apps to interoperable - as part of the DMA (Digital Market Act).
As to how that will be done technically, nobody knows, but RCS is definitely a standard that could be used.

> Firecracker is comparable to QEMU; they are both VMMs that utilize KVM, a hypervisor built into the Linux kernel.

That's not accurate: While KVM is mandatory for Firecracker, it isn't for QEMU.
Aren't? But there is https://redbean.dev that uses Lua, and is faster than Go.
We made being homeless be illegal too, so it's a solved problem.
I personally prefer 3rd party apps -- ideally those which feature end-to-end encryption -- to SMS/RCS/iMessage.
It is hard to verify that they voted for X without being able to prove to a 3rd party that you voted for X. This goal is to prevent selling votes, or complying with blackmail like: "we will fire you (or harm you/your pet/family) if you don't vote for X".

And the person voting wants to make sure that when they voted for X, that the machine counted that they voted for X.

I think the compromise between these 2 would be that the receipt is very clear who you voted for, but you have to place that receipt into the ballot box in order to cast your vote. This way there is no possible way to prove to your blackmailer that you voted for X. Also, the machine could be able to deal with disabilities (blind? macular degeneration? need lots of time to actually vote?).

I'm sure I'm missing something here. I think that one would want it easy to verify but impossible to "sell" to a 3rd party. If it is encoded into a barcode, or hash string, the average citizen won't be able to verify any of it.
I've migrated family, friends and neighbours to Linux Mint and had nothing but positive responses. In most cases they had a middle-aged computer that was not eligible for a newer Windows version; in others their existing computer died. Most mainstream Linux distros are not significantly different from Windows for your average user once they know which software is equivalent to what they used to use.
Very true. But I think what is also true, is that he is there to serve his country. And if his country needs him, he could make that decision. I have a feeling that Kate will support that.

Coronation is just a ceremony.
Implementing what amounts to ad blocking in your browser which all extensions must necessarily be mere lists of what to block rather than complex programs that examine and modify data IS the embrace.

Extending it would involve either implementing acceptable ads functionality that was optional.

Extinguish is making it mandatory in order to be listed on the chrome web store and allowing the browser to transmit some certification that it doesn't have an extension installed that would modify data in transit to ensure "security" making it hard to use the modern web with a browser that didn't transmit such.

Locally installing extensions is only for development so that any such modification will effectively break such a seal and make it impossible for you to view $SOME_RANDOM_GOOGLE_ADS_USING_SITE which will complain your browser is insecure and refuse to work kind of like sites presently block adblockers but with browser support making it much harder to avoid.

Maybe the thinking was that Perl's STDIN, STDOUT, STDERR, came from c's (well, stdio.h's) stdin, stdout, stderr?

Which then inspired the bad idea of expanding on that?
As an American, the news also made me very sad. Though it's definitely not the same thing, we all "grew up" with the Queen.
Yeah, those absolute morons, who want to send files over the internet. What a bunch of complete idiots.
Well yes, Catholics are/were considered to be loyal to Rome. But I'm pretty sure Tony Blair's government successfully repealed that restriction.
While it is true that some features are only possible via JSON config, the ones you mentioned are available in the Caddyfile. See the uri directive which lets you strip a suffix, and redir which performs Location redirects. Also, the issue you linked to is from an early beta of Caddy v2, and the discussion and config there no longer applies.
When the new monarch is too young the next suitable person in the line of succession is appointed Regent. But William's kids are too young, Harry doesn't want it, his kids are also too young, and Andrew is a pervert.

So it would go all the way to Beatrice at number nine on the list. Most people don't even know who she is, so I think they'd probably call it quits.
Absolutely awesome!

I have recently gave Caddy a shot, and immediately loved it!.

I am a bit worried about the performance deficit compared to apache or Nginx, but none of my servers really have reached the scale where it actually matters.

Its unfortunate that there is no dynamic brotli support, but oh well, a trade off I'm willing to make.

One of things that aren't clear to me are Caddy plugins. How big of an affect do they have on peformance? Are plugins a core part of Caddy's usage? Or are they just exist to cover some edge cases?

I'm thinking of using the caddy-filter and caddy-crowdsec-bouncer plugins.
Arresting people who are psychotic from meth and forcibly preventing them from accessing that and Fentanyl would pretty much completely solve the homeless problem where I live. Unfortunately, those drugs have now been decriminalized, and somehow the "systemic" problem of homelessness has shot through the roof.

The freedom to kill yourself in public is no kind of freedom at all. I also don't see the legalizers working to "solve homelessness", just to enable it, while expecting the government or someone else to "solve" it.

This is disgusting because someone more deserving died when he took the liver that was going to them.

Which other every-day mechanisms results in the death of one of two parties?
The last ones are unsafe. Regulating sock height I do not get it, maybe they had to do it to prevent the cyclists from using ridiculous knee high socks.

Anyway, roads bikes are pretty efficient even without a peloton. On roads. I've recently built a vintage road bike and only managed to burn 350 kcal on an 1 hr, 18 km ride. Most of it was in HR zone 2, easy. Almost flat, but still. Imagine what a velomobile could do.
I’m not seeing that many prompts for generating logos or icons. Anyone have any recommendations for that?
This is not true. The first page I checked was a bicycle subreddit and the top bike was a specialized bike. They don’t sell on Amazon.
Things I tend to do in my firmware for errors.

Record the error line number where the error happened.
Use __builtin_return_address(0) to fink on the caller.

Idle thoughts. Despite it's provenience BASIC's on error goto has merit. The problem with try/catch is creating scoped blocks of code that's annoying.

try
{
// scoped stuff
}
catch
{
}

vs

on_error_goto label;

// stuff

label:

Also a thought is having a separate error_return keyword. And the ability to mark functions with 'no error'
It would be quite funny if he tried. I don't think he has it in him though.
While it's annoying that Apple doesn't do what people want them to do (like drop Lightning in favor of USB-C) I have to appreciate that there are still companies making "You do it our way or not at all" decisions for their customers. To quote Steve Jobs from 1997: at least people are making decisions about products instead of conducting polls or having a popularity contest.
Good riddance. The world is rid of a horrible person who has done horrible things, and who has never once tried to do the right thing in the face of adversity.

She could have done so much more, spoken out against so many atrocities, in her own family and Britain's role in the world in general. She could have attempted to use the last vestiges of monarchical power - likely ending the monarchy in the process - and stopped Brexit, or this turmoil that has ensued because of it.

But she chose not to do any of this. Because the "prestige" of this disgusting tradition was worth more to her than the lives of any of the citizens she "rules" (symbolically) over.

It would have been hard to have had a worse monarch than her.
So basically a kick-ass PM (product manager).

All kinds of republicans(anti-monarchists, not American republicans) are content.
Indeed - the implication that a statement merely containing anything factual or backed by evidence makes the whole thing uncriticizable ("but it's true") is maybe the most common fallacy made in defense of provocative statements.
"Extremely addictive" is a bit of a misnomer I believe, in terms of both the scientific literature and also much consensus around treatment-focused communities. Please stop spreading this.

What I can say is a similar thing, that it can cause _dependence_ very rapidly. It can be extraordinarily useful for healing certain mental health conditions, but tolerance builds rapidly, and people on the street are often trying to K-hole repeatedly, a basically pointless exercise. Sustained low-dosage usage seems to have fewer bladder effects, the tolerance combined with people using it as an escape (and preferring K-holes), as well as people who are already mentally broken having a nice lever to pull, is what can cause it to get out of hand.

This is not everybody, however. I think it depends upon the circles, and I think it is hard to see people do that regardless of the world. But your circles around you are also not the world at large. Please stay factually rooted in what you're sharing online. To me, substances that would be dangerous would be directly opioidergic or dopaminergic substances (opioids, nicotine, opioidergic hallucinogens) as opposed to one that is opioid _sensitizing_, like Ketamine (which lets it be a kind of opioid replacement for pain relief clinics, for example. Even infusions are helpful.)

It really is important that we all don't take our personal experiences to say "don't listen to what you hear online" too strongly, I guess even myself included here. Hope that helps shine an alternative perspective on the matter.

"em-dash" is the word you're looking for. I like it, it's like Céline or Bukowski were forum commenters.
So, let's remind everyone the difference between correlation and causation. Many people may look at these colorful charts and walk away with the idea that "therefore, having more money or liquid assets makes people happier". But that's (a) not actually implied here, and (b) not what economics shows regarding utility curves.

Firstly, the line of best fit has a fairly large standard deviation across all the data here, meaning it's not as amazing a correlation as it might seem. More importantly, rather than assuming cause and effect, I highly suspect the reason for the trend at all is a third common factor. In the chart regarding inequality vs happiness, the line of best fit (since that's what the article likes to examine) has a negative slope. You may also notice that many of the countries with lowest inequality... are also countries with highest average wealth. And I don't think that's a coincidence.

Obviously there's more to happiness than quantifiable monetary value, but I suspect if we examined a 3D chart combining average wealth, income inequality, and happiness, we'd see a new pattern emerge, one which shows that more population-wide wealth simply provides an easier opportunity to share that wealth, which results in higher happiness (as far as money-induced happiness goes, at least).
funny i started a subreddit on this exact same concept: https://www.reddit.com/r/shouldibuythisproduct/ . It never got popular.

Please don't take HN threads further into predictable, generic flamewar. It's tedious, and therefore off topic. The site guidelines ask commenters in several different ways not to do this.

because it hides important UI elements. in particular prev and next which i use frequently are completely missing. that alone forced me to turn off the extension after just a few minutes, because unfortunately it made pages very difficult to navigate.
Yeah it's different, and worse IMHO. "The people" is an abstraction, like "God" or "Nature". The Queen is a real person that you have to go meet in her house, and bow to.
Yes, you're right on asking permissions. I didn't had a site-specific extension so couldn't see them. Unfortunately restricting any extension, if it doesn't restrict itself, is only possible on Chrome and its derivatives.
This is my experience as well. I've spent weekends trying to figure things out with Apache + Nginx + Let's Encrypt. Figured it out with Caddy within minutes. Really happy I found this software.

Use a trusted distro like Ubuntu LTS. Install security updates automatically.

Be aware and focus specifically on which ports/services are available from the internet.

If you absolutely need SSH, ensure you use something like fail2ban and use complex credentials. If possible, use obscurity to change from the default port of 22.

If you're running an internet-facing service, like nginx, ensure that it's always up to date.

Using SELinux and AppArmour and GRSecurity are usually way overkill and cumbersome to manage.

> Whenever someone says something like that, you know they don't have much experience trying to get hold of illegal drugs! It's rarely easy, and often falls through.

As this is a public record, I'm in total agreement with you. I have zero experience acquiring illegal drugs, none.

To not distinguish psychedelics from "illegal drugs" however, especially in the context of San Francisco, suggests to me you don't have much experience with the city.
I'm not well-versed in political... philosophy!? but for the sake of the argument: perhaps SF didn't fully embrace libertarian ideals? "you can do what you want, but you must not impose on others" sounds fair. you can take any drugs you want, but if you shit in the street - you suffer consequences. Pose danger to others - you suffer consequences. etc. That's not what I'm seeing happening in SF.
WSJ criticizing big companies for making profits? That feels a bit desperate.

> California’s electricity woes result from man-made climate policies, not from climate change.

> Californians narrowly averted rolling blackouts on Tuesday, but the threat looms all week amid an unpleasant but not unusual heat wave. This ought to be a warning about how the government force-fed green energy transition is endangering grid reliability, but Democrats and the media can’t break out of their climate-change conformity to think clearly, or think at all.

Their editorial feels even more desperate. It should perhaps be worrying that they consider this "an unpleasant but not unusual heat wave":

> One of the U.S. West's worst-ever September heat waves is bringing a prolonged period of record-shattering temperatures to at least a half-dozen states this week.

> The big picture: Numerous monthly and all-time temperature records began to tumble in the San Francisco Bay Area and elsewhere in California on Monday. More records are likely to be threatened into the coming weekend.
