This appears to be an alternative to Yubico's `libfido2`. It is software which OTHER software on your computer can use to connect to a FIDO2 authenticator over Bluetooth, USB, etc.

The primary benefit is that Firefox wants Rust-language code for FIDO2 support, so hopefully this library will (eventually) fill that gap and get Firefox-on-Linux to proper FIDO2 Webauthn support.
I don't think that's true - you can use the buffer protcol to give one object a view into another but those objects' classes need to be written in C in order to allow that exchange to happen.

But if even if you were able to modify a buffer-protocol buffer directly using native Python, that would keep the GIL locked, which would prevent simultaneous access from multiple threads.
I think a lot of internet connected hardware is sold cheaper than it would be otherwise just so they can get some consumer data harvesting software into your life.

ie, that laptop would be more expensive without the junky pre-installed software.

Nothing new, and still a shame they don’t let consumers know what’s going on. It’s even more of a shame when expensive things do it too —- like cars.
Time to Get Fit – An Open Letter to Meta
When I got my first motorcycle, the thing that surprised me the most was how much rain hurts on bare skin at 60 mph.
> When people ask me for recommendations for a laptop for around $400, I always say "second hand" or "save up a bit longer" because these days spending less than $600 is often a recipe for disaster.

This is the best advice you can give, but I'd include the option of an iPad/Chromebook. And even with a Chromebook anything <$300 is asking for trouble. Realistically, a decent laptop that will be performant and cheap that is well made doesn't exist. You're looking at ~$800 before you get get anything relyable.
Long term it is wildly affordable. 0$ rent is way better than some of the rents I have been seeing lately. Owning property and renting it out is a nice 'gig' if you are into that sort of thing. But if you have 5 properties and one bad tenet they can wipe out 2 years of ROI very quickly (had family members this happened to).

Holding value is also not necessarily a bad thing. You want a pyramid of investments. With your base being solid boring things. Then once you have those nicely going. Risk is not really that risky. It is not 'i am not going to eat today' it is 'darn lost that investment life goes on'.

It depends on the risk model you are making. My current one involves keeping a house and then using the money I would use for rent as investments. Think of whatever you are renting or your payment per month is. Now think of what could you do with that extra amount of money per month. I have had hundreds of people tell me the same thing. That there are these great investments out there where I could turn the value of a house into 1500-2000 a month with low work. Yet no one points them out. They 'are out there'.

My risk model is zero debt and no rent. Giving money to other people for borrowing is a risk model I used when I was younger. I no longer do that. It is like getting a 50% raise on the same income.
Yeah missing those Adam Sandler flicks...

> Question: why does the market fail so miserably in this respect?

In my environment, more and more people are switching from $BRANDXYZ to Apple (or Linux). To me, it doesn't look like the market is failing, rather the opposite. But of course, this is not a Representatione evaluation.

The problem is, however, that not everyone wants to or can afford this.
Linux hasn’t gotten in the way of my work at all. When did you last use it?
I just logged in to tell you that your comment has been the most profound and valuable thing I have read in at least the last two weeks.
That's fun. Has that no-code website vibe. This was a side hustle until itself perhaps?
Well obviously nothing since they still hired him.
It's also a boom for people like me who love to wake up early in the day. I do not want to spend my most productive hours in a hellish commute. I moved out of the city and into a large house. I am not going back to a physical office.
I always liked downward spiral.
Unless I misunderstood, this is the number that matters. The 1+ Pb/s is like giving a headline grabbing statistic that highway can carry 10 million passengers per hour and then adding below that it's a 100 lane highway. The advancement seems that the de/multiplexing is done on a single module at each end.
Recently made the mistake of hiring someone with a few short stints. Each had a “good explanation”. 9 not-so-productive months later, they’re gone… Will be taking your approach in the future.
As a general rule, smoke and mirrors anywhere there are rough edges. In your case, if your demo does not work under less-than-ideal speech recognition conditions, I would not let them speak to the prototype. You could ask the audience for queries and speak them yourself.
Safari with a content blocker like Wipr is very fast too, and easier on the battery compared to chromium based browsers.

My dad’s life is made easier with a MacBook Air + iPhone combo because all his 2FA SMS codes get auto inputted into the 2FA field so he does not have to type out the number.
I mean, it facilitates code review as well. You just reply to the email. This is how Linux is developed, for instance.
I realize that not everyone is technically capable of doing this but my 3 suggestions are:

1. Wipe Windows and install Linux

2. Wipe Windows, download the Windows .iso image or buy media from Microsoft and install that so there is no extra crap

3. Buy a Mac

I realize that it is ridiculous to buy a brand new windows PC and it is unusable and you have to do a bunch of stuff yourself to make it usable but that is the state of much of the PC industry. Vote with your wallet or find a technically capable friend to help.
You realize you are training their datasets (its not really an 'AI' in any meaningful sense) to get a very precise picture of your personality and emotions, which will be later used for ads targeting, and character profiling if you become somebody interesting in later years.

'Training the alghoritm' is just carrot on proverbial curated-content stick (you could also select 10 categories of content you like and refine it yourself further down the road, this is just less obvious for the same).

People were bashing Facebook/Instagram for this for a decade and many have stopped/rollbacked and just give few likes here and there for personal events of friends. I guess history even in digital world likes to repeat itself...
Not against. For.

For curation. For categorization and deduplication. And for trust.

You can only express so much with titles and seed/leech counts. Trackers that were known to be the best - like What.CD and waffles.fm - were private and heavily moderated. You had to be invited, usually by passing a quick interview to prove you knew how to avoid common data management pitfalls like transcoding from a lossy codec. That made those trackers into carefully curated collections of high quality content.

Even public trackers benefit from some moderation. Most people only want to be browsing porn intentionally, so having a category for it let's you browse for movies or whatever. It's all about sorting the noise into signal.

It's also helpful to have some commentary on a torrent. Maybe the subtitles are forced. Maybe the software has a virus or includes adware, but ended up getting a critical mass of seeds/leeches anyway. Maybe there is some similar content worth talking about.

Have you ever used a public decentralized platform that wasn't full of trolls? I haven't.
The other comments you received relies on 3rd parties and/or tunneling traffic via others, which may or may not impact the performance/latency negatively (depending on what you're trying to achieve).

If you want to self-host a solution, few things to keep in mind:

- Rate-limit "heavy" (RAM, CPU, I/O) processes that can be externally triggered via HTTP calls or similar (if you have a HTTP endpoint for regenerating a cache or something like that, make sure it can only be called max once per hour, and so on)

- Setup fail2ban, and things like mod_evasive if you're using Apache (I'm sure Caddy/nginx have similar solutions)

- Only expose what you really want to with iptables

Ultimately, unless you're hosting something really popular or controversial, you don't really need to be scared about being ddosed. People don't spend resources just ddosing random stuff without a reason for it, and unless it's popular/controversial, you just won't get hit by anything but random port scans/vulnerability scans.

The most efficient usage of resources is the constraint, not the goal. It means markets will use fewer resources for building 10 smartphone than an ad-hoc system, but it will not decide whether the 10 smartphones are needed or what kind of smartphone are needed.

Forgive me, but you sound like someone who has never needed help from another person, or the help you received you felt you deserved.

I think you should remember that all of our lives affect each other. We have a social responsibility to pursue a society where those effects lead to happy, healthy people.

If you think you’d rather live in a survival of the fittest jungle there are plenty of countries you can move to. In the west, we consider the progress away from such things as one of humanity’s greatest accomplishments.
Also, we opened up the schools while COVID still was, and is, going on.

We can argue about the pros and cons of doing that, but pretending COVID is over is just sticking our heads in the sand.

There should be a matching Project Gutenberg ebook app, "gutebooks" (I have it on my Android phone) which allows you to switch back and forth between audio and text book.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have an option to pay to remove adds/paid books as the audio version does.
Think of a food chain, bugs are near the bottom meaning they are a food source for many other creatures like birds, reptiles, small mammals, fish. Fewer bugs means less food for mice, that means fewer mice, leads to less food for snakes, leads to fewer snakes, leads to less food for birds of prey, leads to fewer birds of prey.
There are many chains like this where bugs are a vital source of food. If there were zero bugs then these chains would collapse. Also, bugs are needed to pollenate many fruit bearing plants.
Were there times you felt like you were wasting your time when doing this project?
I guess it depends on where you draw the limit, but if you tunnel all your traffic via an external proxy to your "self-hosted" platform, how much can you really call that solution self-hosted?

Ethics and privacy aside, I just find it plain weird that hardware vendor would deliberate make their own product worse like that. And this is not the first time Lenovo has done something like this, apparently they did face any consequences.

When I still worked as a sysadmin/support person, the ritual for preparing a new PC for use included replacing the preinstalled Windows 8/8.1 with a fresh install of Windows 7 from a vanilla installation medium. This was in part because the software our SCADA people used required Windows 7, but we did it to all PCs just to get rid of the useless crap vendors would ship with their machines.

Fortunately, the Windows 8/8.1 Pro license allowed us to do that. But I don't know if the Home license does, and frankly, you cannot expect non-tech people to do that.

As a long-time Linux/BSD user on my private machines, I am glad I don't have to deal with these problems in my spare time, but I am part of a pretty small minority in this regard.

I remember reading a story about the development of the Apple Macintosh and its OS, and one developer talked about how Steve Jobs gave him a hard time about the time it took the machine to boot. Even if you shave off just one second, he argued, imagine how much time that saves all the users over the lifetime of their computers. And now imagine how much time is wasted, in total, because of hardware vendors sabotaging their own products.
Mowing itself is the problem

You really cannot talk about this in statements like they apply everywhere. Here's an example: around where I live, the number 1 activity by nature preservation groups when it comes to restoring grasslands of all kinds, is mowing. For a couple of reasons, but the main one being that nitrogen deposition fertilizes the soil too much, so it gets countered by removing biomass via mowing. Not doing that results is fast growers. Not because the'yre indicating a recovery process, just because they outgrow what was there originally. Which is the opposite of recovery.

leading to a much more healthy ecosystem than when you mow it all down to hell.

When I say "it's the amount, how and when" that implicates 'not mowing it all down to hell' is not the right way :)
Is it any wonder why Apple has been so successful with the iPhone, iPad, and their services? I can't stand the iron grip they have on the App Store, but on the other hand - traditional, wide open computing environments have become so hostile to users in terms of data collection and tracking. If I was a non-technical person who had to use this Lenovo laptop mentioned in the tweet thread, being given an iPad would feel like water in a desert.
You don’t have to reboot for every update - for a server it would be mostly kernel updates that require a reboot. If you enable live patch or subscribe to another live kernel update service you don’t need to reboot for most security patches.
Gift your relatives an ad free life by installing Fennec + uBlockOrigin and NewPipe from F-Droid.
If I start pestering them now, the security team at my LARGE_CORP employer might allow me access to sorucehut.org in about 3-4 months.

Part of using Github is that it's from Microsoft therefore on the 'approved' list.
I guess it depends on how you define competitors. I think they protected themselves from people playing against their strengths (ie photographic film), but failed to prepare against disruption from left field.
If you're going to install add-ons, just get them uBlock Origin and enable all filter lists. The "annoyances" lists block all the cookie madness.
MVP implies that you show them the most valuable feature. It can simply be a mockup too!

What you need, in my opinion, is basically your core proposition. Like if you build a killer robot, showing that it can hit any target you click on, is nice.. even though it might not be able to move.

If its a webapp, don't focus on solved problems, like Logins or SSO but rather show me what your "x for y" can do. After all the products you do actually buy are the ones, you think, will solve your problems.
It does not happen often on an individual scale. In capitalism the timescales of cause and effect are so distant that many people will not even see the consequences in the grand scheme of things.

A simple example would be companies maximizing short term profits to their own demise. Like the online ad business, managers are happily ignoring the fact that bot armies are inflating their numbers. I'm really curious how Google is going to handle that in the future.
Interesting and worth pursuing. But as a weekend (veg) gardener I'd like to add: more yeild doesn't mean more nutritious and/or tastes good.

For example, no one has ever accused my tomatoes of being similar to the round red things you get at the supermarket. Also, from time to time I'll see something - often on HN - about how less today's veggies are compared to years ago.

The botton line: Instead of trying to invent a new solution why not first take advantage of known (regenerative) farming techniques?

We don't need more...we waste plenty already...we need better.
Be honest with them and sell them on your vision.

And likewise with e-mail, PGP et al. break some features that rely on your mail server having access to the full message contents, like content-based message filtering (spam or otherwise) and server-side search.
The bosses who silently nudge out workers
That does suck, but one of Apple’s strengths is that you can walk into an Apple Store and have stuff like that fixed- usually quickly and often for free.
My dad was an auto mechanic and they had one of the garage vehicles stolen. The thieves broke a window, grabbed a set of keys, and took off with the car. The police came out, took a report and were leaving and the garage manager asked what the police would do next? Would somebody come and dust for prints?

The cop said something like "What's your deductible? Something like $250? Well how much work do you think we should do for $250?" (this was in the 80's).
Adding to this if voice recognition is just the first part of a process can you eliminate it? Can you show them an example of how to use it based on text? For example “type your command/query” instead of speaking it.
Solution: Office 365. Since it runs in the browser Office 365 will work for the average home user of MS Office on Linux. No it's not the full fat versions of office, but for most home users it's fine.
Ok that matter, last time i shopped for a tv, I looked explicitly for one without any software.

I found one from a brand named “OK” (sold by mediamarkt/mediaworld) and it’s just awesome.

No software, if I ever want new features I’ll get a firestick from amazon or some xiaomi dongle i can plug into one of the two hdmi inputs.

I love it (and i hate smart tvs).

Bonus: it also costed way less! About 250-280 Euros iirc, for a 42" panel with full-hd resolution.
Dunno. I mean, it's all speculation, and I see how it could be many other actors. But imagine someone blowing up a German wind farm, and the German government saying, "hmm". Russia is generally quick to anger.

Also the political risk for everyone else seems suicidally high.
Have you used one? I know someone who bought one because she wanted an easy-to-use device, and it was nearly unusable. The thing one had like 1 or 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage which was quickly filled by photos (on crap quality camera). The thing somehow became slower than molasses to operate.

Thankfully I was able to copy off the pictures, and I bought her a Pixel 4a, installed a tempered glass screen protector and thin/minimal TPU case, went through the settings with her, and even showed her screenshots of more user-friendly third party launchers. She opted to keep the default launcher, and it's been smooth sailing since. (I also installed Firefox and uBlock Origin on it.)
I used to use Cloudflare's API to do this, but then we changed ISPs and now are behind CGNAT, so we don't even have a public IP. To publicly expose my web server, I created a Cloudflared tunnel, and have our DNS (which is also hosted at Cloudfare) point to the tunnel. It works quite well, and adds some security because we're no longer visible to attackers using IP address scans.
I want my 8k streaming video.
1.5-2 years is exactly the correct range to aim for to maximise your salary. Short Tenure is usually less than 1.5y, the article has 1y as it's definition (for senior leadership this is not applicable). So I think you and the article agree in that respect at least.

Also, do you mean your net worth or salary? Those are (sadly) very different numbers... :)
>we don't have enough land as it is

Small farms are more productive per acre [1] even before considering the increased fossil footprint of 'efficient' farms.

>we can't pay for the additional labor small farms need, or food inflation will explode.

Additional unskilled jobs might well be worth the tradeoff, particularly for the most vulnerable members of society.

>This hopeless romanticism of small organic mom-and-pop farming is misguided.

Russia's Dacha model produces something like 60% of the country's food through hobby 'farms' that regular people mostly go to on the weekends. It's not a hard model to replicate, I'm planting a food shrubland in my suburban home. It won't produce a large part of my food budget but it'll certainly be resource-positive as opposed to a lawn. My labour inputs I'd spend at a gym otherwise. As work-from-home becomes more normalized, the average garden size will probably increase. The problem isn't economic but cultural.

>huge, highly efficient, automated, but also highly regulated farms. That, and veganism.

There seems to be a correlation between belief in factory farming and veganism. Those stances align on pathos but diverge on logos and ethos.

youtube has a ton of stuff on creating content.

1. pick a niche like deep learning, or stable diffusion or what ever your interested in or what to know more about. get a domain name and webhosting. I'm using shared hosting because I can have unlimited domains and a year of hosting for <$100.

2. make folder on your computer for lists of ideas and sub folders for ideas you are starting to work on. also once you create content you can repurpose it and reuse it as well as redo sections of it if its needs be updated.

3. pick topic for an article - google the topic it will kind of show you what articles are making it to the top.

4. do research and create an outline - google, youtube

5. AI tools are great for writers block. They can help with generating ideas, sub topics, even write a draft of a paragraph. you need to seed it with phrases or keywords your trying to write about but it will generate the paragraph. I try to create 3 version from the ai and it will come up with something. Some of the paragraphs were ok(probably better then I could write.)

6. you have to stick to it for a while. I read you need at least 75 articles on a blog to get any traction.

7. then the article will become the basis for your youtube video.

An introduction to the Gnu Debugger.
I think their actual stance is basically the old "reduce, reuse, recycle".

So should you recycle single use plastics? Only if you can't avoid needing them in the first place and you can't re-use them.

Basically it's a sign of progress that they're putting more emphasis on the earlier two steps as public opinion starts to shift in their direction.
Don't show the product, show the end result.
