I love physical books. E-books are a good supplement because of the searchability, but I don't enjoy reading e-books nearly as much as paper.

Humans are very tactile, and the book is a visual cue that sits there and reminds one that "I wanted to finish reading this." It's also easy to skim-read and navigate in a physical volume.

To me, even the order of books on the shelf is important, as they reflect the order of the material in my mind (e.g. computer science > programming languages > Rust).

What is perhaps no longer worth buying are "how to" guides that have been superseded by Google + StackExchange.

There's no cap to the amount of cash borrowed on a fixed-rate mortgage. Bay Area jumbo loans regularly top $2.5M, and during the 2020-2021 period, they had sub-3% fixed interest rates. The big difference between jumbo & conforming loans is that jumbo loans cannot be packaged off and securitized by Fannie & Freddie, and so they are largely kept on the originating financial institution's books.

The reason fixed mortgage rates have been below inflation recently is because the financial industry (bond buyers and mortgage underwriters, at least) have largely bought the Fed's "transitory" narrative. A 3% mortgage remains profitable if inflation runs at 8% for a year and then returns to 2%; it becomes very unprofitable if inflation stays at 8%. The reason mortgage rates have climbed so much in the last couple months is because the "transitory" narrative has basically collapsed, and the bond markets are now starting to price an extended period of high inflation into the rates they charge.
GTA 6 leaks. Source code allegedly stolen in Rockstar hack.
On iPhones and TouchID capable devices this has been available for quite some time now. I don't know how much work setting this stuff up is, but AFAIK FIDO2 is already available on-device.

Using an external device for FIDO2 authentication is something I can't add much about. The FIDO2 standard should allow for this and Apple and Google are working to make such a mechanism available if I recall, they made a whole PR thing out of their FIDO2 support a month or two ago. There are apps that can do this as well though I don't know any specific ones for the Apple side of things.
I have to. I definitely buy some tech books on Kindle and follow web tutorials too. I'm not against doing those things. But when I care to really understand a topic in tech, for reasons I'm not even sure I can explain, I need a real, physical textbook. Strangely enough, a lot of it has to do with my brain's need to mark important sections with a pencil (yes, I know I can highlight sections on the Kindle app too...but there's something about physically circling/underlining/drawing a star near a section with a pencil that helps me to recall it later).

False analogy. Twitter et al deliberately encourage and sometimes try to force you to create accounts and join their platform. Instagram won't even let you look at stuff without creating an account and logging in.

Pre 1983 pennies are, I think, worth 2-3 cents in copper. The value fluctuates with copper spot price, so this could go up or down.
This is frighteningly inexpensive – if it did work, I worry it would alleviate the necessary concerns to find permanent solutions.

The world could easily afford this. Some individuals in the world could easily afford this. It’s too easy.

Perhaps it could reduce other issues and actually prevent various species-specific catastrophes around the poles. As a conservation effort it might make sense.

I do worry about downstream effects. People far smarter than I am are researching this, but there are so many potential knock on effects.

Even so, I’m glad to see progress being made in this kind of research. That’s a big step up from my childhood.

Interesting, I wonder how many of those 100,000 $(currency) bills are associated with hyperinflation vs. regular run-of-the-mill inflation over a very long time.

South Korea has 50,000 KRW bills (= about $36 these days), but its currency has been pretty stable in the past 40+ years.

I'm not a Brave user, but from what I've read, users can choose to see ads and earn BAT, or they can fund their BAT wallet and opt out of ads altogether. And the ads don't seem to track the user or infringe on their privacy, so it's a substantial improvement over most adtech ads.
Yes, because there is no replacement for paper books that has the same features.

> By using Workers to do this, it resulted in Readme's Cloudflare account receiving requests from our domain with "googlebot" useragent, but from an IP that wasn't verified as a googlebot IP address (I assume the Worker was requesting the Readme site using the Googlebot user agent but with whatever IP address is used when using CF Workers).

Was this definitely the cause? It's somewhat surprising to hear that requests would be rejected if the user agent doesn't match a set of hard coded IP addresses.

Were you able to resolve this in the end? If not and the cause is what you suspect then perhaps changing the user agent in your worker might be a workaround.
Yes, I'm using it with notmuch, and it works reasonably well. A couple of caveats:
- If you want to save outgoing mail, you need to include your own mail-sending script (mine is below). This is because aerc treats the notmuch backend as read-only.
- For the same reason, you can't postpone messages with the notmuch backend.
- I find it a little annoying jumping between search queries. Basically, I have to type out the new query each time. The aerc notmuch backend treats notmuch queries like folders, but it instantly forgets the previous "folder" existed when you go to a new one.
It probably wouldn't be too hard to fix these; if I stick with aerc I'll probably try eventually.

My mail-sending script; tested only on OpenBSD:

#!/bin/sh
#
# Save a copy of an email in Sent, then send it with sendmail.
set -e

TMP=$(mktemp -d)
cat > "$TMP/message"
notmuch insert --folder=Sent < "$TMP/message"
sendmail -f falsifian@falsifian.org "$@" < "$TMP/message"
rm -r -- "$TMP"
To be dead honest, and not trying to insult anyone, in real life when I assert two contradictory things within two short sentences about any subject, the people who are listening to me who agree with those sentences immediately start to make their case to me why those two statements aren't contradictory.

It's only on the internet where I can assume that people will show up who really think that I believe that stubbornly low <2% inflation is hyperinflation, and attempt to excoriate or support me.
To be clear: I'm not assigning "fault", I'm saying the design is flawed. The current futex abstraction forces userspace to do things like "pick a thread to wake up", which is inherently racy when viewed from outside the kernel. So yes, you have to fix this particular issue in glibc because the microbug is in glibc. But glibc shouldn't have tried to solve the problem in the first place.

IPC is just really hard, we struggle with exactly this in Zephyr too (though we have mostly managed to avoid this particular kind of mistake as in an RTOS the kernel/API boundary is thinner), at a much smaller scale. Add NUMA and cache-locality-concern to the mix and things get harder still.
It’s not that the interest is higher now! It’s that it’s fixed for 30 years no matter what the interest rate environment is! Plus it can be paid off early and refinanced when it suits the borrower!

I don’t know how more clearly I can state why this is a glaring subsidy for the rich. I’m sure in a free market these would just appear by themselves /s
Completely to ebooks. I got tired of lugging tons of physical books around when I move, and also needing to store them somewhere.
Concurrency is bug-prone. Complex code is bug-prone. glibc's CV implementation combines both.

In my experience, both writing and teaching concurrency, there's a very strong sentiment of "I'll just use another CV/lock/etc." whenever people encounter a bug and try to fix it, which seldom fully solves the problem but usually makes it even more subtle and compounds the number of resulting states.

One of my tricks to increase chances for race conditions and deadlocks when testing is to use a modified sampling profiler to randomly delay and pause threads, but with such a long sequence of steps as this bug requires, that would've been unlikely to help. Yet Murphy's Law says that it will happen in practice...
It works. It works a lot better than you think. My biggest mistake was relying on organic traffic. Once I switched to paid ads business went 10x. Don’t assume everyone is like you, you are the 1% of the 1% of the 1%. Majority people follow ads that’s why it still exists.

I think the usual term for being asked to leave a place due to your behavior is "eighty-sixed".
That's another problem for it: for a functioning currency, you really don't want something that's easy for people to "counterfeit" (make themselves). The ideal currency has a stable supply; can only be minted by a monetary authority that does not have a vested interest in spending it itself; is very difficult to destroy; is not perishable or hard to store; and can easily be exchanged in variable denominations. Alcohol is relatively good at the last two points, which makes it attractive during times of crisis when the central monetary authority breaks down, but it's not really durable as a currency.
Hm. Use icelake, with an aggregator process sitting in core 11 and have all the others run completely on input alone and then report to core 11. (Core 11 from that heatmap appears to be the only cpu with a sweetheart core having low latency to all other cores.) I wonder how hard is to write a re-writer to map an executable to match cpu architecture characteristics. Something like graph transformations to create clusters (of memory addresses) that are then mapped to a core.
I only use AF_UNIX sockets when I need to pass open file handles between processes. I generally prefer message queues: https://linux.die.net/man/7/mq_overview

I haven’t measured myself, but other people did, and they found the latency of message queues is substantially lower: https://github.com/goldsborough/ipc-bench

He was making plans to expand his 350-acre farm to buy up surrounding farms to convert to regenerative agriculture. He was saving money to build a house for his parents and another for his autistic older brother. He was polishing a movie script and a series of children’s books teaching business literacy for kids. He was looking for a celebrity to endorse his line of luxury toiletries made from the milk of his goat herd. He was breeding heritage turkeys. He was writing guest essays for notable bloggers higher up the political food chain.

For a long time this was a stuck for me. I use Workflowy to manage my projects.

Normally, I can trivially capture every note on either mobile or laptop into the root of Workflowy and distribute later as needed. This is already a pretty decent single inbox.

The one leak was capturing thoughts in contexts where typing is not feasible. Ultimately, I landed on using Siri and just jotting notes into Reminders on iPhone/Watch/Mac. When I'm out, I capture notes this way, then at home run a script to transfer the notes into Workflowy.

Here's a hype piece with the script[1]. The page also doubles as an experimental art study of contrasting zero HTML styling with exaggerated ad copy. Hopefully it's pretty dissonant.

Well, it depends on how you want to define "dominant" (in which markets, by what metrics) and to be honest the ambiguous opener has not reeled me in.
Wow. This method is so ridiculous I just might have to copy it.

Seriously though, I hadn't thought about using that time (which most people are guaranteed to have every single day, several times a day) for learning new things. I think I may start using this method for exploring things that I'd "like to learn some day" but that aren't urgent/currently important for my job. This would be a way to at least make me get started learning something genuinely new!
It would be possible to open your own store then, to sell goods to people for cash. It'll cost more to not be tracked by the gov, but the incremental cost buys you privacy.

Yes, and that's what makes Figma dangerous to Adobe. Adobe can justify their prices vs. any direct competitor with "professional designers need the good stuff." So Krita, Gimp, Canva will always come up short. But Figma is helping companies change how designers work to something Adobe isn't as good at. Figma or direct analogues to Figma are the good stuff, not Adobe, in those teams.
I don't know that the inflation of luxury goods is a bad thing, because that's going to trickle down. It's the damage to (inflation of) housing, for me, that begs for intervention.

And it's an invalid point. Scraping prevention is the most stupid thing Cloudflare has ever done, and that's after a very long list.
A few observations:

1. I realize part of the purpose of this site is to demonstrate the functionality, but it would do that just as well if not better with subtler animations.

2. It’s quite disappointing that the site neither tones down the animations for prefers-reduced-motion, nor makes any mention of accessibility. What little discussion I found on GitHub was dismissive. Of course, users of the library can theoretically use it responsibly, but they probably won’t without some consideration directly built in to the library itself.

3. Subtler animations would probably also elicit less negativity. I know, it’s HN, and this kind of project showing up here has an proverbial “kick me” sign, but do I think it would get more positive attention.

4. Less important, but it looks like the project has been around for a while, so it’s not entirely surprising that it isn’t built around (a polyfill for) Shared Element Transitions[1]. I’d expect a library like that will have greater longevity. It is surprising not to see something like that under discussion at all.
The biggest obstacles to jetpacks were pesky things like safety (both for the operator and those below) and regulations.

The solution is to keep them flying under ten feet until they become battle tested and accepted (aka. "mainstream").

Sure. Key word is "sometimes." I'm definitely in favor of simpler language when possible, and I think we once spoke about my minimalist ISC variant license.

You can get into 'irreversible' states unless I'm mistaken.

Nowhere were contracts mentioned. A proper proposal, for example, always has a date and to sign it if agreed to is just professional conduct. I’d be wary of any exec not willing to do that. Instant red flag.
Similar problems happen even in C. Suppose you have this line inside a function:

X *y;

Are you declaring a pointer, or are you performing multiplication? It depends on what “X” is.
They're hardware, but not the same set of logic as the original systems. They still rely on reverse engineering efforts that occur when developing software-based emulators. They produce the end results that were measured from the original system, but not the exact behavior. As a result, they're not naturally more exact than a software emulator.

Where the FPGA comes in handy is in concurrent logic and a fixed clock. This makes synchronization easy, and that is what makes software emulators much more demanding.

systemd is better than "fine" or "great" - systemd is awesome.

systemd is a real power tool and the more I learn about it the better I like it.

When you need to get something done, systemd often as not has your back.

Simple example - recently I needed to ensure a given service could not send more data than a given limit. Easy - systemd includes traffic accounting on a per service basis - all I needed to do was switch it on with "IPAccounting=yes" and read the values and kill the service if its data egress was beyond my maximum.

This is just one simple example of how systemd makes life easy - there's many, many more examples.

For example did you know that systemd/nspawnd lets you do virtualisation with all the benefits of containerisation such as resource/memory optimisation? The more you dig, the more you'll find to like about systemd.

systemd haters gonna hate but show me something better.....

If anything, systemd influences what modern Linux is so heavily that modern Linux should be referred to as linux/systemd instead of gnu/linux.

Yep. I'm saying: avoid things that exist primarily to make loads of money.

Smaller, looser, less-commercial organisations have fewer or no executives, less concern with making as much money as possible, and (in my opinion) tend to produce less bullshit.

This is distinct from producing good-quality work — their output may be unpolished, but it'll generally be sincere, and free of over-commercialised tat.
Same difference; this is in contrast to e.g. BSD, which is far less politically motivated. (And AFAIK they have no problems in their CV implementation that I know of...)
