Shout-out to Conversations (conversations.im) for their amazing Android XMPP client. Server-side (Prosody) I still experienced plenty of headaches with multi-user chat and push notifications. And the Apple alternative, Monal (monal.im), while functional, is not on par--I've had trouble with the macOS client, and an iPhone friend lost push notifications for a few months for no identifiable reason. But Conversations is amazing, making all the other hassles of self-hosting group chat tolerable.
They were brusque in voicing it, but the criticism is fair. We all know the exact atmosphere and quality of discussion that follows comments like these and that it is characteristic of the toxicity found on reddit and facebook.

It was meant to be sarcastic, but I can see how you might think that it could be. I’ve never written a line of Java in my career but it’s probably more widespread in other parts of the industry.

I haven’t heard a developer being excited about writing Java in a long time.
Isn't this still confined to what a terminal gives you right now (as it is using current terminal specifications)?
While certainly colorful and fancy, it doesn't really introduce new concepts, does it?

I mean, for starters:

-> unix introduced text as a universal interface
-> bash made reusing stuff a lot easier via file descriptors, etc. (think: <(input to regard as file))
-> powershell allowed for object oriented scripting
-> some older systems (name forgotten/unknown) even had interactivity in the cli: click on parts of command-output and stuff happens, even after other commands have been run already
I wish we are powerful enough to sack U.K and take it back.
Was that quote from a book?
Security is a cost center, not a profit center. Most companies cut that investment to the bone, which means paying the bare minimum that lets them check boxes.

This is true for basically any non-tech company, and is true for like 75% of the tech companies.

> You need to do the work upfront with Sec+

Sec+ is part of the paper mill parent is referring to. A book of terms to memorize for 3 months and then call it good.
Exactly, and plenty of people like the ego boost of an unrealized gain going up and up, even if they plan to never realize it. The homeowners I know only talk about their property values every chance they get and every other breath.
Your words are contradictions.

You say they will see benefit.

Yet all you mention is how the blockchain might usurp the faith wotc relies on.

Why would wotc ever fund their potential demise or depend on people that never had faith on their product in the first place?
Those 150 designs were probably early proofs of concept hallucinated using e.g. RoseTTAFold; Baker has been thinking about protein hallucination for a while already.
All this promotional glitz, but no information to indicate this actually currently is usable on a single consumer streaming device or smart tv, let alone the particular one I have. A minute spent on the pages of their linked distros seems to confirm it's vaporware.
There are many different types of personal injury claims that an accident lawyer in Brisbane can help you with.

Roughly speaking, while you do need idempotence for reductions, you do not need it for maps. (Of course, plenty of things don't look quite like reductions or maps--or they look like both at once--and each is unique.)

I'm that guy (6.5/10). I've never done numbers close to that bad. I could understand if someone was trying to date out of their socio-economic and age ranges (although you can always date up in age, for men).

> 4. Immortal assets. I poured a lot into City of Heroes back in the day, and then one day the devs shut down the server, and took all my heroes with it.

Had City of Heroes implemented their heroes "on blockchain", this would have gotten you nowhere.

CoH's heroes would have been useless outside their servers, blockchain or not. They mean nothing if you don't have the game's engine to make then do fun things.

NFTs only work when they are the meaning in themselves, but this can only happen when the "game" is fundamentally trivial and uninteresting, like CryptoKitties. Real games require an engine to run them, and if the engine shuts down, your "assets" become meaningless.

Gameplay is what matters. Making a server open-source is more meaningful than running the assets on blockchain.
Maybe not instinctively, but socially we definitely have at some point. Sharia, coverture, old testament laws, etc.
The thing about security is that it's perfectly fine to not have it most days. Suddenly, all at once, it's not fine at all. A very large company has an exceptionally bad time and a lot of people are affected.

Small startups and businesses can absolutely get it right. It's usually much easier, with a small number of people and systems involved. You just have to approach it knowing it will take work every day. Some things will be harder than you want them to be. It will be worth it to avoid this kind of stuff.
Lol hardly anyone knows what the Zapatistas are.

They're brown and 'marginalized' and occupy a small slice of Mexico. You and I may know about them because we probably monitor anarchist/leftist circles. I'm quite anti-socialist myself but I readily admit the Zapitistas have proven 'successful' about as well as they could hope for their situation. But few outside of a few circles wants to acknowledge it as it goes against the conventional thought that democratic or pseudodemocratic society can be trumped by a bunch of fucking 'backwater' community-focused brown people with guns and their own prerogative, who don't fit the mold of the typical example that when society 'breaks down' it must be taken over by savage worlords or drug barons.

You can guarantee if there were a story of a bunch of American rednecks even trying to pull off anything similar it'd be downvoted to hell here and nearly universally hated by American society. Soccer moms everywhere would clap to their execution by the National Guard. Some ATF-esque character would stand over the rubble for photographs like they did over the char of the dead kids at Waco and the public would eat it up.

Admitting the Zapatistas are a 'success' challenges a lot of people's philosophies and assumptions. Hell it even admits some of my own were wrong. This can be difficult to reconcile. It's not surprising that answers to your question are not exactly forthcoming.
It sounds like you're experience has been at a small firm. At scale, 2fa and yubikeys are a no brainer with regard to risk vs reward/ safety.

Do you think all security engineers or whatever you want to call them are total incompetent idiots? If yes, I can't help you. If no, then you don't need further explanation from me.

Security requires a complex balancing act, and in this case they got it wrong, end of story. As stated elsewhere in this thread, there are only those who've been breached and those who don't know they've been. End of story.
I wish there was a true request per day free tier limit to play around with Spanner for small projects. Cloud Run and FiresStore are really awesome for hosting my hobby projects so far, at almost no cost.
why is this worthy of being on the front page of hacker news?
SDS-PAGE is the normal way, at least for an initial test expression. For a Western blot or ELISA you need antibodies specific to your protein, which you probably don’t have. An easier way to identify, for example, would be to cut the SDS-PAGE band and perform mass spectrometry on it to try to elucidate its protein sequence.
> They are attempts like Esperanto and other artificial languages like that and I think any attempts at 'codification' of maths to use some programming language has the same chance of success of wide adoption

Aren't existing programming languages already types of codified artificial math dialects which have seen wide adoption
There have been requests for functionality to use an inputs value for a calculation, like for a price estimate. The requirements were also for a blank input to be treated as a zero. Because of the invalid value returned as blank there is no way to make the distinction between an invalid value and a blank value. The valueAsNumber will return NaN for a blank value or invalid.

The fact that the DOM API returns a blank value for an invalid number is a massive misstep on the part of whoever makes the decisions surrounding the DOM API. The W3C? Whatever, this is a truly awful decision.

I don't know pretend to be the expert. But I've seen a lot of things, and I've learned a lot over the past 15 years. For certain requirements there is no way to clear this problem.
“Paranoid and jaded” is reading as “not stupid” to me here.
I would really like to know more about this, and I can't seem to find anything about it. Are these projects implementing their own drivers for all the various audio hardware they can use instead of using ALSA? That certainly wasn't the case some years back when I used OpenElec.
> The videos that don’t make money are the unpopular ones.

I disagree with that. A selection of channels that I watch regularly enough:

The Spiffing Brit doesn’t do sponsorships, and his videos are quite popular (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRHXUZ0BxbkU2MYZgsuFgkQ/vid...).

This Old Tony (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9rlWu9KWe8) is not quite as popular, if you count popularity by video views, but still very popular and no sponsorships.

What about Ben Eater? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_koa00MBLg) He is exactly the kind of enthusiast who would make amazing videos even if all advertising disappeared.

Ross Whatshisname of Accursed Farms (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ6KZTTnkE-s2XFJJmoTAkw/vid...) does an extremely in–depth review of a video game about once a month, and doesn’t do sponsorships. He gets 200k–500k views on every review, which is very popular by any measure.

Posy (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmEmX_jw_pRp5UbAdzkZq-g/vid...) is another enthusiast who makes videos for the sheer delight of it and whose videos are quite popular. If you haven’t watched his videos about LCD displays then you haven’t lived.

I agree that truly unpopular videos with a dozen views will never make money, by advertising or otherwise. But the converse is not true; as I have demonstrated, there are plenty of popular videos that don’t bother to try to make money by sponsorships. You know every single one of those is turning down a VPN company every week of the year though.
Ask HN: Looking for an old hacker fiction short story
I've been looking for a short story I saw on Slashdot around 2003-2005 for a while now, and I was hoping somebody here might remember it and point me in the right direction. My google skills are failing me.

The general idea is a sysadmin in the 90's or early 2000's gets shrunken down to the size of an ant along with the son of his boss, who is an anarchist that wears a swastika T-shirt. Him and the sysadmin go into an ant colony and meet the queen; the son convinces her to have a Marxist revolution after a debate about monarchy and personal liberty, and she's all into the revolution.

Can't say I remember much more, except I have the notion that it might have been hosted on kuro5hin.

Which is my point. This isn't just about "removing junk". This is about space capability vs others in space.
there's also the issue of "chunks of metal above people's heads can drop out of the sky". Imagine flying car accidents being about as common as car accidents today. That would be untenable.
Here’s what the author, Tom MacWright, has to say about it (which you can read on his blog, as long as you don’t click on a link from here):

“If you’re lucky, you end up being good at a few things. If you’re really lucky, those are also the things you like doing. I’m good at writing articles that get upvoted and discussed on Hacker News, or news.ycombinator.com. But I don’t like it.

Writing on the internet can be a two-way thing, a learning experience guided by iteration and feedback. I’ve learned some bad habits from Hacker News. I added Caveats sections to articles to make sure that nobody would take my points too broadly. I edited away asides and comments that were fun but would make articles less focused. I came to expect pedantic, judgmental feedback on everything I wrote, regardless of what it was.

Writing for the Hacker News audience makes my writing worse.

I don’t like what Hacker News has become – or a lot of the web, for that matter. But I’m part of the discourse. I’ve written critical articles, mean tweets, silly comments, the whole lot of it. It’s impossible to separate one thing from another and neatly place blame. But it’s simple to notice a thing you want less of and turn it off.

So I can flex the freedom of an independent blog by embracing what seems good and pushing away what I don’t like. Redirecting Hacker News links away from this website makes sense to me. Traffic to this website doesn’t pay my bills. Disengaged readers just looking for a hot take don’t return to my site, or recognize me when I write something else, or write blog posts of their own and bring new creativity to the indie web.

Maybe posts will be less viral (I can hear, as I write that, someone writing “you haven’t written a hit in years, Tom!”), but writing viral posts or maximizing hits wasn’t my goal when I set out and it isn’t now.

Anyway, the RSS feed works great. The HTML site works pretty well. I tweet most new articles I write. Business as usual, just less of the orange site.”
The same could be said of almost all research, but I see your point. Time will tell, I guess.

The person in this original post broke Discord's posted rules. So this whole debate entirely falls under the category of #1. That's why I'm confused here.

So I'm glad to see we agree. When you break the rules, it's OK for the site to ban you. So in this instance, Discord did nothing wrong, they banned someone who broke the site's rules.
This seems like poor strategy for most women. Assuming an individual women is of average attractiveness but going after the most attractive guy they can land, it would be better to go after top 5% 5'11" guy with less competition than land a mid range 6'2" guy.

> Let's add up the carbon footprint of the traditional financial ecosystem, in whole. I think once all the externalities are factored in (including things like minting and handling physical cash and coin), doing it all on a computer makes more sense even if POW is energy intensive.

Cryptocurrency didn't event the idea of using computer ledgers instead of physical cash and doesn't get to take credit for it. There are dozens of ways to pay by computer that don't involve wasteful PoW.

> Converting energy into economic value is the opposite of waste.

Agreed, but I still don't see the value being produced by the cryptocurrency system. The value (not price, but value) that it delivers compared to traditional visa/mastercard/etc. seems marginal at best (and perhaps even negative once you account for the externalities that cryptocurrency-enabled crime imposes).
Certainly Federer should be fine financially so its kind of gallant that he stuck with his native country. But I don’t really blame other tax optimizers. Tax regimes seem to me to all be predicated on the idea that everyone has an income that is steady or slightly increasing over time. Yes millionaire earners can afford to give up 50% of 1M year after year and still live well. But Working in a feast or famine niche job I can sympathize with the position of having a big payday and never knowing if one will come again. 50% hurts much more when its your life savings and you don’t know what your next job will be because you are hyper specialized.
Which RCS would that be: standard RCS or Google's enhanced RCS.

Sure, the terminal primitives are fixed unless we expand the standard.

But what they are doing is way beyond colorful only. It’s smooth scrolling of text boxes within text boxes. That alone is bonkers.

But they also have an easy API for smart/partial redrawing, sensible UI components, I mean, their progress bars are exquisite. It’s truly impressive.

You seem to be pretty close to Nushell, which was mentioned in the article. The Nushell `ls` (and `ps`, etc.) builtins generate structured data that can be sorted, queried, reduced, and then transformed to many different types of structured data.

$ ls | get 0 | select modified | to json

{
"modified": "2022-08-16 16:38:28 -04:00"
}

The internal data format looks pretty JSON-like, with the added ability to keep Nushell types intact.

While I'm not ready to replace Fish with Nushell, it's definitely taken the place of jq for me.

(Edited and removed) Let's start with the basics, many applications do not support webauthn, full stop. Even shops who roll it out are forced to keep holes open for business critical applications that don't support it. Security is not easy, and the entire field is not negligent - the problem is massively asymmetrically stacked against security practitioners, enhanced by poisonous attitudes like the ones expressed here.

You got lied to. The popups are rarely about cookies, and mainly about tracking. The GDPR barely even mentions cookies for a reason. With this addon, you say "Hey, use whatever method you’d like to track me in whatever way you want". But then you delete the browser cookies. I mean, that’s nice, but that doesn’t remove your tracking consent freely given.

Arguably it is morally good as it renders fighting over possession by the region's countries a futile effort.
It's interesting how the nutrition "scientists" are essentially blindsided by this. It makes you wonder.
I don't believe that in the slightest. Sure, you do have to usually run some homebrew code to be able to play ripped copies of retail games but how big is the homebrew game and app market (other than XBMC for Xbox) that people would opt for that and not pirated games? Being able to compile code for a game console is usually (excluding XDK for the old Xbox) much more difficult than obtaining ripped retail games. Every modded console I ever saw in-person had a hardrive or stack of discs of pirated games. Games are pretty expensive and are a luxury in many parts of the world so there's a massive motive behind being able to run region-free pirated games on consoles. This argument is like saying that most people with torrent clients only download Linux ISOs and creative Commons licensed content. If the ability to pirate content is there, most people are going to do it.
Better than a system that can't manage that much.
