I think Windows solved this much better than libc by separating the concerns: there's user32.dll providing a thin abstraction over syscalls, a couple libraries providing higher-level interfaces like wintrust.dll, and thirdly the C runtime library providing all the stuff mandated by C. You can easily ditch the latter, while still keeping the benefits of user32.dll (which cosmopolitan is doing).
A popular quote among those who believe they're on its good side, but also specialization is the basis of our entire society and economy. All of software is a specialty. The most successful people are neither 100% specialist nor 100% generalist. "T-shaped" is the common term - at least slightly competent across many skill areas, very deep in a few. A team or larger organization made up of people with complementary skills (and temperaments) will consistently outperform one where everyone came out of the same cookie cutter.

BTW that's not the worst way Heinlein misled half of my nerd generation, but that's a topic for a different day and certainly a better venue.

I've recently had the opposite problem. I had an external host receive email for a domain and then forward to gmail. The message envelope is changed, and SRS records are updated to be from the forwarding domain and DKIM is valid.

However, over the last 2-weeks or so, Gmail has been hard rejecting the majority of the mail at SMTP time, which has caused a big pain!

I really wish I could say "trust all mail from this mail server, but please also do Spam checking".
> If a device expects you to require/want cloud access to the data captured/used with the device, do you feel the same way, that it should be optional?

A device should not expect me to want cloud access.

I’m ok with a device requiring I access its features through my phone, so long as that is made clear in advance. But my phone and the device are usually in the same room - there’s no need for a cloud of any sort to be involved, and there’s certainly no reason I would ever want any of my data uploaded to some company without my explicit permission. And I’d expect most features to work without that permission.
It’s a computer science paper. They don’t have to present an actionable solution for it to provide value.

They have a meaningful new finding, which may provide the missing piece to some solution later on.

If we disregarded all scientific inquiry which did not result in an immediate solution to an existing problem, computers probably would not even have been invented by now.

The representatives of the US are not “elected by the general population”. If that were the case, Montana wouldn’t have the same number of Senators as California, the President of the United States in 2016 would have been the one who received the most popular votes and gerrymandering wouldn’t be a thing.

The last thing I want is to give the government more power. Have you been paying attention to laws in conservative states that want to regulate speech on Facebook and Twitter but go out of their way to make sure that sites like Truth Social aren’t affected, the “Stop Woke” act in Florida, the laws passed in GA and Florida to punish corporations who speak out against the government (Delta and Disney specifically).
First off, congratulations! I know you're nervous about the whole ordeal but take a step back and breathe. You're bringing a brand new person into the world. Medical science understands the process so we'll these days but it still feels magical, doesn't it?

When you talk about being a dad in your post, it sounds like you're focused on your career but right now that's less important. Being a parent is your number one job. You have to clothe and feed and change and love this new person and they are going to look up to you as this amazing person who makes them feel comfortable, happy, and safe.

(Don't forget your partner here either. They're going to be recovering from giving birth and needing your presence and support.)

Take all the parental leave you're legally entitled to. And if the company offers more, take it!

I remember when my little bean was born and I'd spend like half an hour bottle feeding them in the kitchen bored off my butt. So I started responding to Stack Overflow questions other people were ignoring. And I would talk to my kid about it and why it was so important to help these people, and a little about the technology, and why I chose this career for myself. Babies don't understand any of that, but I was giving them my attention, I was making sounds they eventually learned to copy, and I think the best part is they got to see Mama excited about something.

We would spend hours cuddled up on the nursery floor with a pile of pillows, some Tangerine Dream albums, and stories about people I've met and things I've done.

Parental leave is a great opportunity to look at things through new eyes. I feel like I learned so much about being a manager by trying to explain it to a newborn. I hope you find it to be a positive experience as well.
Seconded. I started learning calculus for the first time in my late 20s (about 7-8 years ago) and Khan Academy was great for that. Once you get into Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, etc., find Gil Strang's lessons through MIT's YouTube channel. He is truly a master teacher and I learned a ton from him without ever meeting him or setting foot on MIT's campus.
> unregulated money transfer services

I'm not gonna go so far as to leave a "username checks out" comment on HN, but are you joking/trolling, or just completely insane? Money transfer services are regulated for a reason, and that is to protect consumers from outright fraud and blatant fleecing. Why would you think "unregulated money transfer services" would be any better than regulated ones? I don't see any problem they're not solving currently that having a "freer" market would solve; in fact, quite the opposite seems to be the case.
Go does this too :/
I get about 10 per day. They all seem to come from hacked O365/Gmail accounts. All 4 of my Gmail accounts are affected.

It's all the same crap that's obviously spam.

"Dear Friend, I hope this email finds you well. I need your assistance in a matter..."

"You've been chosen!"

"Home Depot/TruGreen/Dicks Sporting Goods/ADT-Security"

"Invoice enclosed"

"You've received a direct deposit..."

"Hot sex <insert emojis>"

I would guess that Gmail is simply a legacy/commodity function at Google, so they have spam handled by lower-end employees or even contractors.
Coandă effects might drag air from somewhere else, not just from the intake.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coand%C4%83_effect

Edit: I see the tester used an anemometer, which measures just the air moving THROUGH the anemometer.

If the exhaust is smaller than the intake, then air will move at a higher speed through the exhaust. Thus the anemometer will show a higher reading.
I think the purpose of the grill on a computer is not so much about dust and smaller debris as it is about (a) protecting user fingers against fan bites, and (b) protecting the fan against bigger pokey things that could damage the fan blades or jam the fan.
Actually both of them have moved away from their clang involvement, hence why clang has slowed down in ISO C++ compliance, as compiler vendors using clang forks don't seem that keen in helping upstream.
This behavior is causing new companies to get spawned as a response to fill the void created by censorship. A recent one mentioned by a Youtuber is Parallel Economy [1]. I have no idea how good/bad they are but I expect more of these to start popping up.

I am curious how people will vet these new alternatives to PayPal. PayPal for its good and bad at least have a known history and a myriad of discussion about the known behavior. Will people have a way to rate the alternatives, like a Dun & Bradstreet credit score or something like Yelp? How are people validating the behavior and reputation of these businesses?

If you live in western Europe that is a point in favor of the government. Compared to the self rightousness of private companies the government are amoral buteacrats just following the regulations. Sure, there is some personal selrightousness but nowhere close to the levels at American tech companies.

Who exactly decides what misinformation is? Remember when Twitter started banning people for discussing the lab leak theory, which turned out to be true?
How much do these factors matter, though? Similar arguments can be made about uselessness of the like button. Some press it to indicate good, relevant content, some press it to support the topic, some like factual content, some use likes for later reference in "liked videos".

If you pivot a bit to Facebook videos, you can see heavily "liked" videos where huge portion of top comments are literally some form of "waste of my time", "idiotic video" and so on.
A compiler is a pipeline with different representations between each stage. Each representation makes different trade offs, e.g. source tries to be human readable. Translation between them is usually lossy, and that's sometimes a feature - discarding information later stages don't need makes them faster.

Relocations are instructions executed by the linker (or loader). Write the address of this symbol to this offset from the start of the data section, stuff like that. Relaxations cover things like a branch target turned out to be closer than it might have been so change the instruction sequence to a smaller/faster one.

So if you don't eagerly convert to machine code, you don't need the link time relocation data, so the assembler and linker don't need the code to deal with it.

Of course if you stay in a friendly IR you can also do optimisations easily at link time, so most articles on this approach call it 'link time optimisation'.
"43,000 people were killed last year, the greatest number in 16 years"

True, but there were also 250 billion more miles traveled than 16 years ago and a population of roughly 40 million more people. So though the raw number is higher, the traffic fatalities per mile traveled and per capita is actually lower than it was back then.

Yes, that's a large part of why we were able to automate them so much earlier than cars. But we've since removed the lever than elevator operators used to use to control the elevator and noone really seems to mind.
i mean the low hanging fruit of "close these loopholes" would be reinstatement of a progressive income tax.
I think you are making assumptions here:

> effective measure of the things people typically expect from it once you get into average or above average scores.

But I don't think that's what IQ is, it's just a measure of a type of assessment relative to other participants. Beyond that, there are strong correlations at various IQ levels on how people perceive certain spatial and logic questions/tasks. IQ does not measure your personality or job performance.
By your own logic, Paypal may decide not to be associated with anyone based on any random criteria, including opinions, race, sex, age etc. It can be black and white, of course, just not today.
I really enjoy the Open Source Security Podcast. There is quite a bit to learn while beeing entertaining and relaxing. The early episodes where more freestyle and grew more profesional over the time.

Hmm, the sad aspect of ownerless currency. In these kinds of situations you need to be able to prove the funds didn't fall off the back of a truck, both in order to be able to use them in the present, and to viably tie them into the timeline in the long term.

Is there something intrinsically bad about "right wing" now?
More companies should let the employees be autonomous and let them figure out their own way of working on a personal/team basis, rather than managing them like they're school children.

International trade keeps going. Just because some economies have curbed trading with Russia does not mean they've run out of trading partners. It is doubtful the sanctions would remain in place for long after a capitulation of Ukraine.

Losing troops and military equipment is insignificant in the long term. Both have to be replaced regularly anyway. That is no loss unless one counts the pollution and the humanitarian cost. And we know the Russian government doesn't consider those costs.

From my point of view, if they could pull it off, the Russian Federation would be stronger having annexed Ukraine. Not that I want to see that scenario, or think it likely.
i wonder when people will learn not to depend on anything these megacompanies make, ESPECIALLY google.

Fantastic. This is a huge win for everybody. After midnight more than 1 in 8 drivers on the road are legally intoxicated (in the US). Driving is a liberty, not a right.

I can understand why this would be limited to alcohol (at least starting out) as alcohol leaves the body rapidly and the diminished capacity leaves with the alcohol. Eventually I would like to see this applied to a variety of intoxicants.
I think they are referring to "open source" being a corporate friendly rebranding of "Free Software".

At the time it was drama about GPL which proprietary software forms didn't like but in the modern server world that isn't as relevant.

> You should really start to learn about more than the last 100 years of history.

Oh please, get off your high horse and stop acting as a superior if all you have is vague accusations of your interlocutor being not as smart as you are.

It is hardly correct to compare post-WWII modern conflicts with early 20 century conflicts, much less with the stuff before that.

The world is different, communication is different, the economy is different - just look at the comments here: ordinary people from all conflicting countries discuss economic repercussions of their countries being at each-others throats.

I wouldn't believe that it has no tangible effect. IMO, people seem really tired of all this shit and most would rather just finish it and be done with it.

Unfortunately, since it is a dick swinging contest between superpowers, the whole tension doesn't vent out as it should, but instead it gets unnaturally prolonged.

And I am not even touching the subject of that this conflict would have never even been a thing if a certain superpower wasn't so hard on expanding it's sphere of influence on a foreign continent, right at the border of another historically competing superpower.
Sure, but PayPal entered a contract, and there should be a legal means to break the contract, not just by a whim because of something seen on Twitter.
I should probably lead with this, but I'm an expert researcher and developer-contributor to this field. I'm qualified to make this assertion and it could save someone's life so it's very important we're clear here on this.

Your argument is not the 'gotcha' you think it is. Those transactions are public record. The money has to get into the mixer somehow, and it has to come out somehow. Unless your coins never exit the system or interact with a daemon you operate or that can be tied to you, sure you enjoy a modicum of pseudonimity, but the moment you interact with that account you've given that up. Whether this is SPV, light wallet, custodial wallet or home grown daemon wallet, you must make a connection to a daemon and it must gather peers and chain-data.

Even if you mine the coins, you have to broadcast a TX to solve the block, collect reward and propagate new coins. Same with proof of stake. New coins must be minted and rewarded, something must solve to mint.

One of the most common ways 'private' transactions are traced is through daemon broadcast. The first daemon to broadcast/relay a transaction holds tangible log info to nail users. After that broadcast you now have 8-16 other daemons who've seen and recorded that peer broadcast in their logs, then they reach out to update the swarm. You don't need to operate many nodes to get very targeted info on the originator of a transaction, you only need what's called 'peer diversity'. TOR does very little to negate this, especially when 'light-transactions' are used, where only the transactions lacked during sync are requested- this is a passive 'fingerprint' of a given daemon and its sync-state. Often 'light transactions' are lauded as a performance mechanism but unfortunately anything that decreases traffic homogeneity will have an influence on a bad actor's ability to isolate a given user's traffic.

Anybody can run these daemons. You don't need sophisticated surveillance infrastructure for this, it's being done today by hackers and agencies alike to target users of actually-private cryptoassets that have inherently private blockchains.

Show HN: The simplest drum pattern composing algorithm I could come up with
Hi there, my name is Jay. Making music and writing software have probably been the two biggest pleasures of my life -only after my family.
My team and I recently started a long journey of trying to completely change the way people create music, and as it usually happens with any long journey, it all starts with small steps. One of those small steps was to build https://drummy.io, or "Dummy Drums," a very simple yet useful drum machine that stores the entire drum pattern in the hashtag of the URL. There is no backend. Fully served by a CDN.
If you wanna learn how to build your own drum machine in Javascript using the WebAudioAPI, here's an amazing read: "A tale of Two Clocks." (https://web.dev/audio-scheduling/). Also, check Howler.js (https://howlerjs.com/), a rock-solid library with a great community.
Anyway, not long ago I noticed the dummy drums site hasn't been getting much traction, but I think I figured out why. Most of the new users are getting frustrated because it is very easy to get stuck trying to come up with a fresh drum pattern, and so https://twitter.com/DrummyBot was born! A function written in less than an hour that comes up with pretty decent rhythms. While not in any specific style, and no ability to choose settings or tune it, it may still be a great kickstarter for that new beat you just can't seem to find. It is like the opposite of a fancy AI that seems to be so hot these days.
If you think DrummyBot can help you get inspired, just follow it on Twitter. The bot publishes a new pattern every hour, and even tries to give it a name using PHP's Faker library. You can also simply go to https://drummy.io and use the magic wand button to get a fresh pattern with each click! The function is totally randomized, you will never get the same pattern twice, and customizing literally requires just a few seconds.
I hope you like it, and of course, all feedback is gladly welcome!
Otherwise, we're living in a world where contracts between two parties mean nothing. Anyone can pull out of anything at any time for any reason, with no notice.

Not if the contract stipulates that both parties must agree to unwind the relationship. We already live in a world where anyone can pull out of anything at any time for any reason, with no notice - however if the contract says you can't do that then you open yourself up to legal liability. That doesn't stop most folks.

Yes. See literally the world around you.
Having such a rule won't actually guarantee people, who are already breaking your rules to begin with, will honor them. You're still going to have to block them, exactly the same situation as if you didn't have that rule.

Having such rules is essentially pointless. The people you want to shun won't listen to your silly rules, and everyone else will just be weirded out by your authoritarian community.
Protip: they should file a Notice of Dispute (https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/pp-notice-dispute). This will bypass the usual customer support chain of command and go straight to PayPal's legal department. While this does not guarantee a more reasonable response, it does mean your case will be scrutinized more heavily by an actual human and is more likely to lead to at least getting an explanation. It is also a required prerequisite before for proceeding further to third-party arbitration.
