Reason has a similar system, which is pretty annoying. I wonder how hard it would be to write a "yes server" that would simply respond "ok" to any activation request. Some keys must be floating around if one looks hard enough; or one should be able to find them in the local executables themselves?

So, starting with an analogy. Suppose you want to know the distance from Grand Central Station in New York City to a cafe a block from the Eiffel Tower. You have two options of how to make the measurement. Option 1 is to directly measure the distance. Option 2 is to use a known distance between Grand Central Station and the Eiffel Tower, then add the distance from the Eiffel Tower to the cafe. Option 1 has fewer dependencies, but Option 2 is much easier and (assuming your reference measurement is correct) will give a much more accurate measurement.

Similarly, any time you're making a high-precision measurement, you want to make it relative to something that's already known to a high precision. It doesn't need to be the same high-precision measurement each time, so long as it's something that gets you into the same ballpark as the thing you're measuring. That way, you don't need to make an absolute measurement, but only need to make a relative measurement.

For the mud samples, we didn't actually care that it was the example same elemental composition in the handful of NIST samples we had, only that it had a known amount of the trace elements we were measuring. That way, instead of needing to explicitly measure detector efficiency, everything became a very simple scaling question of "(X counts in sample) / (Y counts in reference) * (Z known trace element in reference)".
You can write simplified queries in its own DSL, more complex queries in Datalog and plugins in ClojureScript, JavaScript or Typescript.

(The plugin API still feels a little quirky, though)
AdaptOver: Persistent DoS and IMSI Extraction from 3.8km away
Hi, we‘re happy to present AdaptOver this Thursday in Sydney, Australia at the MOBICOM conference.

We use overshadowing, in particular on the uplink, to create a new set of attacks that turn a legitimate base station into an attacker’s asset.

With AdaptOver, an attacker doesn’t use a fake base station. This marks a new attack paradigm that has to be taken into account when developing and evaluating countermeasures or new protocols.

Happy to answer any questions!

Most life insurance does cover suicides. Just not in the first year or two.

Thanks for your reply, and sorry for the confusion!

1. I replaced the GitHub link with a direct link now. Because it is still in the very early stage, the repo is only open for discussions like feature requests, using feedback, etc.
2. The main point is to do type check & annotation generation all automatically without one single line of additional code needed, which both flow nor typescript cannot achieve at present.
3. I'd like annotations to tip me on the type and to let the editor give me code suggestions based on them; however, I do not want to write them manually.
4. As for how to get type errors clear enough without learning, I'm doing it by avoiding using PL/type-system-related terms during the entire process. For example, `let a = 1; a = '1';` will raise an error that says `expecting number but got string.` to tell the user with easy to understand the sentence. For more complicated situations, like overloading mismatch, please experiment by the playground at the bottom of the homepage. (very sorry, I do not know how to write markdown on HN). Any feedback or thoughts on that is very welcome!
5. For the inferring result like `t547061|string` you pointed out. Yes, I agree that it's annoying. I will simplify the outcomes for the sake of readability over strictly correctness. But the top priority is still to add more ES6+ features if I think correctly.

Thank you again for the detailed feedback, and I apologize for any unclear caused. It's still early, and feedback like this is more than welcome. Thank you!
It does seem difficult to believe that the Saudi's managed to acquire an enormous blue diamond, 50% larger than the largest confirmed to exist, in complete secrecy without a single peep of it leaking out by 1989.

My reason for bringing up the referendum was this: Gp insinuated the green party had somehow single handedly shut down Swedish nuclear reactors. This is not the case. The referendum shows scepticism towards nuclear has been the majority opinion in the Swedish parliament for decades. This changed only recently. The green party is one of several parties sceptical towards nuclear energy, they are not some kind of extremists.
Yeah Qualcomm has literally become a global environmental and sustainability scourge and it has honestly been a factor in switching away from their products as much as is possible given their modem monopoly. The competition isn’t much better but it IS better.

The thing is I can make that choice but for many people the cellphones they can afford are mediatek and Qualcomm. This lack of support doesn’t truly save money it just cost shifts from a wealthy corporation to the global poor.

I just opened an incognito tab on Chromium:

> Now you can browse privately, and other people who use this device won’t see your activity. However, downloads, bookmarks and reading list items will be saved. Learn more

> Your activity might still be visible to:
Websites you visit
Your employer or school
Your internet service provider

'Learn more' takes here:

https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/9845881?visit_id=63...

Nowhere on the tab itself does it say that Google isn't still spying on you. It also doesn't state the opposite, but the starting sentence 'You can browse privately' is disingenuous.

The 'Learn more' link even states:

"Chrome doesn’t tell websites, including Google, when you're browsing privately in Incognito mode."

Which is obviously a blatant lie.
Does it also handle the GPU correctly?
Yeah what's the context here? These are funny tho.

On 5-30-2016 the Microsoft Corporation took control of my computer without my permission and up-dated my Windows 7 operating system with their Windows 10 system. This change was unsolicited and there was no way to cancel it. This action in my opinion is no different than any hacker taking control of someone's computer to use for their benefit. This unauthorized action took place after months of Microsoft placing pop-up ads on my computer, which I deleted. I request the FCC investigate this and numerous other similar complaints and take the necessary action to prevent this unauthorized kind of tampering with private property.

There are absolute gems in here. This is the general population folks! Would more education help? I don't know.

No, but I could be wrong, and I'm a dangerous fool if I don't take that into account.

In some idealized world of intelligent good faith discussions, maybe. In practice, false, not even close. A good idea for yourself, but not safe to assume of anyone else's motives even if they say that's how they operate, much less if they call their ideas a "gift".
Is it the exposure to dirt, or the lack of health care that contributes more to the excess mortality?
Let's continue that s3 example. There are many products branded as "s3 compatible", but they all have slightly different definitions of what that compatibility means. Not to mention that the s3 api itself is a moving target, and doesn't even have a version number you can reference, so the best you can do is list which features you do or don't support. Some of these products actually have native APIs which IMO are better than S3, partly because they can learn from mistakes in s3s API.
A public campaign can be created to increase people's involvement such as the Olympics. Both the Tokyo Olympic Medals[1] and to a lesser degree the Rio Olympic Medals were made from recycled electronics.

The interesting part about the Tokyo 2020 Medals was that it was done through a public donation effort. All it took was less than 50,000 tons of junk devices. Now just imagine how many precious medals are wasted according to the article with 74 million tons a year!

"woke virtue signaling" is the same thing that "political correctness" was ten years ago, right?

I mean, when I hear people complaining about "woke virtue signaling" I don't know what that means other than "being respectful" and "modeling good behavior".

If you're limiting that description to actual hypocrisy, then that's one thing. But in the absence of modeling good behavior, the only alternative is behavior that gets worse and worse. Because as soon as someone tries to stand up for a higher bar, it's "woke virtue signaling".

The phrase almost sounds like an incantation at this point, like it has no meaning other than to express a grievance.

Alternatively, after climbing past that initial resistance, joining in trying to raise the bar can actually be kind of fun, if the intent is more in improving one's own behavior than in just (hypocritically) judging others.

For lucene / sqlite, I used the docs on the web site.

SQLite got me a little experience with b-trees (as did couch), and I got to write a little query planner.

Lucene was interesting because it was compact, had some skip lists for fast lookup, and was a log-structured merge tree. I borrowed bits of it for an index in a binary file format for work.

For realmdb / couchdb, I looked at the source code.

I did realm so I could extract my Craft.app docs. It's interesting because it's a column structured database, so I got to learn a little bit about that. I also learned that C++ had changed a bit since I last used it (lambdas!).

And couch is an append-only btree. I got to learn to read Erlang with that project.

I've also have a web scraper that reads from the Chrome cache (whose format keeps changing). I archive things like recipes that show up in the cache.

And I've got code on github that decodes iOS desktop backups, which some people have found useful. (Written mainly so I could poke around in various applications' data and extract stuff from my keychain.)
Whats the advantage of this over routing all traffic through tailscale/wireguard in AWS?
Pardon? I reckon you've never heard of cornbread or corn tortillas, 'cause both of those are made primarily from dent corn.

You might specifically be referring to yellow dent corn, since that's currently mostly used for animal feed, fuel, and plastics rather than human consumption, but I'd hardly call that "useless", either - even assuming it was somehow entirely inedible and not just less palatable than other sorts of corn.
The article mentioned this, how important are nasal vaccines? There’s very little evidence that a nasal vaccine will somehow miraculously prevent transmissions. Just look at the flu vaccine, the efficacy between both is negligible in any age group. I get it’s important to research this topic for future applications (like mRNA before Covid). But posturing it as the US “losing its edge” sounds ridiculous.

Who even chose this word? I myself certainly don't think of potential lawsuits when choosing names for my buttons, I choose something that makes sense to me and that I think will make sense to the target audience. I can be wrong. Is incognito a word that's wrong enough to be considered intentionally and maliciously misleading users?
Yeah. There's a lot of variance in the timing of milestones, which leads to people drawing all sorts of overgeneralizations from the few examples they happen to know. The most popular example being "Moore's Law and FAANG market caps prove that everything in technology develops exponentially, which is a word that means super-fast"

"Firefox and Safari call this "private browsing". Firefox also uses a mask icon. Are these any different?"

Well, "private" is clearly different from "incognito". But the mask with firefox is misleading, too.

And the article is misleading as well, because it implies that chrome is still tracking you in incognito mode, which is not right. Google might be tracking you.

But to comment on the lawsuit, I lack details.

There are zero plans to port to SDL2.

There are zero plans to ever move to GTK3 or GTK4 or GTKN.

There are dreams & aspirations to drop our use of GTK and fall back on GDK (just a window & event abstraction), but this is not on any timetable because it means reimplementing text-entry, menus, tree/list views and the file browser.

The counterargument to THAT is that human safety levels aren’t acceptable. They are tolerable perhaps, but I wouldn’t call the number of accidents and fatalities we have today acceptable.
This is true of course, but we shouldn't discard any attempt to improve the situation, just because there are bigger fish to try.

That's great to hear. If I were in a position to introduce students to the terminal, I'd also try to expose them to the existence some modern CLI tools so they don't feel like they're trapped in the 1970's.

Something like Starship, tmux/byobu, enabling colors, exa/lsd for ls replacements, dust for a modern take on du, easy terminal editors like micro to ease students into editing text in the terminal, along with mentioning how Vim/Emacs can be used in places of editors/IDEs. They'll get to see that the terminal is both modern and relevant, with ample use of color, font weighting, emojis, images, text GUIs, window management via tmux, etc.

I obviously wouldn't make that the focus, but as a quick aside about the tools they can use with some screenshots or screensharing my own terminal setup might keep some students interested.
I disagree. the point is that if you're concerned about e-waste, start somewhere besides cellphones.

For literally every developer on the planet who is not an expert JavaScript developer—or who doesn't wish to be—this is undoubtedly a better development approach. Saying "Remix is the winner" doesn't really move the needle. It's still JavaScript, still React—just with some work pushed to the server instead of the client.

The contract of the web is that while the client-side language in use may not be up to the discretion of the developer (recent evolutions in WASM notwithstanding), the server-side language/framework/OS/etc. can be literally anything which speaks the protocol of HTTP/HTML/etc. JS frameworks for years have repeatedly broken that contract with the claim that we must accept it for…well, "reasons". If it turns out most of those reasons are bupkis—more a matter of preferences than requirements—then we must stop breaking the contract. JS as a server-side language should _get in line_ alongside all the other languages out there.

Why privilege it if we don't need to?
Interesting you mention Gmail, that's one of the examples given in the Layers Tutorial for Unpoly, which is a batteries-included take on the basic ideas behind HTMX.

https://unpoly.com/tutorial
Yeah, the article isn't great, talking about hazardous substances and such.

Phones are moving to "chip scale" components: resistors, inductors, capacitors less than 0.25mm in size. And the chips themselves are getting smaller and smaller. The quantity of "hazardous" stuff outside of the battery is plummeting.

Making the battery removable and replaceable and having fully-reticulated battery collection networks would be nice.

On cost, though: there is the concept of "embodied energy". The AirPods cost $250 while the peanut butter jar costs less than $1, in part because a lot of energy is used to make the small components in the AirPods. (Not corresponding to the price difference, of course, but more energy.) Lots more steps in the production chain of AirPods, each with their own energy losses.

So buying new AirPods does have a bigger environmental impact than buying a peanut butter jar.
