Agree with you on the form of violence thing. Antipsychotics actually work well when it comes to relieving symptoms of stimulant psychosis, and the earlier stimulant psychosis is treated, the less likely it is to become a permanent psychotic disorder.
I went to a five alarm fire in Seattle once. It started in the late afternoon. Pillar of black smoke into the sky. The fire was still going after sunset.

The interesting thing about a five alarm fire is that it turns out that it takes about 10 fire trucks to run 5 hoses. The city water system, like the Internet, is designed to deliver a certain amount of volume per day, and to be able to move a reasonable amount of it to arbitrary locations, but not a large fraction of its total capacity to one spot.

A city hydrant can't keep up with multiple fire hoses, even with a pumper truck there to give it enough pressure to go onto the fire. So what you have to do is daisy chain trucks, hooking trucks up to hydrants on separate water mains, or opposite ends of the same loop, then pump that water to another truck that pumps it onto the fire.

You can't overbuild capacity without passing those costs on to customers, so you do what you can to keep the system working smoothly and have workarounds for situations where the abstraction leaks, like a once a decade five alarm fire, or an Internet Hug of Death.
Most professionals who work with asbestos don't recommend "purge it from everything everywhere." Rather, the usual recommendation is to leave it intact and don't touch it, unless it's going to be disturbed in a way that'll release the fibers anyway (eg. imminent renovation or demolition, accessible to small children). Even then, oftentimes abatement consists of encapsulation, i.e. just wrap it in some physical barrier that will prevent it from being disturbed. It's banned in new construction, but choosing to use something different when building anew is a lot less expensive than ripping it out of existing construction.

Rewrite your links without the word “here.” Hypertext does not require stage direction.
I ran the load tests and couldn't explain it either. I adjusted the thread pools, buffer sizes and a bunch of other parameters and couldn't get Netty to scale.

I think Netty tries too hard to be everything to everyone. This makes it really hard to determine how to configure it properly across a bunch of different versions with lots of incompatibilities.

I wrote java-http with the concept of not doing that. It's purpose built for HTTP and high performance.

Once I have some time, I'll publish my Netty setup and let the community bang on it and see if they can beat my RPS. At 65k, it might be hard though. :)

Bad opening line. Hard pass.
I think Intel Arc GPUs also support them, from my reading. Apple seems to as well since the M1, but Metal.
Yea I took a look at the source code as well and I can’t find anything crypto related. It seems to be more so in the realm of matrix, dat, mastodon etc. I think where a lot of the newer attempts at distributed web went wrong was attaching themselves closely to crypto.

I’d like to dig in more this weekend, it does seem like a pretty nice synthesis of other ideas and if it has major backing + not being attached to crypto I think it could have more longevity and adoption than other distributed web attempts.
I use Bitlocker on my laptop but haven't really looked into encrypting things on my desktops in a long time (I used BestCrypt back in college when I was living in a dorm and had my PC in a shared space).

What is the attack surface you're trying to hedge against? Are you afraid of someone gaining physical access to the device and ripping out the hard drive?
TT may be popular but I wouldn't put it in the same category as FB in this case. MySpace was actually killed - it's barely used these days. On the other hand TT coexists with other platforms pretty well and has its own use cases. Nobody why cares about contact with specific people leaves another platform for TT.
It greatly raises the magnitude of consequences of not maintaining data access. Whole swathes vanish at a stroke, be it a flipped bit or a key forgotten or lost due to disuse.
The secret sauce is a low barrier to entry. An asdf tool is just a shell script that does the work to list packages, download and install them, etc. You can make a simple tool script in an afternoon.

The low barrier to entry is also a bit of a curse too. The quality of asdf tool scripts varies wildly. Anything not maintained by their core org is a crapshoot in my experience. Many of those smaller tools don't support ARM or have lots of undocumented dependencies or quirks.
At this point the applicants understand what they are signing up for. There's been enough press for that.

Except going forward they've be messed up, but with money.
TikTok, BeReal, and many messaging networks (WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal) are growing.
The thing that amazes me is the sheer amount of money that seems to be in advertising. It’s sometimes more profitable to surveil or shoehorn in ads than to sell products.

Could this be somehow related to two decades of cheap money and the bloated corporate budgets it created?
Yeah that seems like a strange choice. Why not just keep it in and let people figure out eventually that they just don't know how boats work?

You seem to be conflating landfills (where trash that's trucked away from your curb goes to be buried) and sewage treatment plants (where the stuff you put down your pipes goes to be processed into clean water, fertilizer, and "other"). They are completely different things.

Roguelike games usually draw me in, but you've populated your Steam page with what looks like mobile resolution videos. Mobile ports on PC are rarely appealing, the strong exceptions exist of course, but it may be to your benefit to show some videos at native PC resolutions.
After Michael Levin recent trail of interviews, it's strange to see so much news on the 'eternal' life front.
This observation seems unwarranted (and a little unkind). For a voluntary personal project - not to mention one that involves a bit of personal risk/discomfort - they can publish the data in whatever format they please and revise it at will.
Mastodon is great. The only problem is hardly anyone uses it.
I thought so as well. See my comment on the other thread about Netty. I'm sure someone that is a Netty expert or committer could figure it out, but it's so complex that it makes it nearly untenable.
Most AI during that time revolved around minimax, i.e, the chess move I

is the move I'd play if I were you, etc. Lisp's inherent recursiveness
lent itself to that theme.
Huh, this is an interesting question I’ve never thought of: Why wouldn’t it always be more efficient to do single-stream recycling, with giant blue bins for people to throw recyclable stuff in, and have manual sorting at facilities?

If the answer is “too expensive to pay people to sort”, then maybe I’d argue that recycling is a terrible economic idea: isn’t it certainly more expensive in lost productivity for untrained people to puzzle over bin types, than for trained people to sort after that fact?
They are likely reused, often as trash can liners.

Indeed, I don't know anyone who doesn't reuse the free plastic bags they get from stores, even if it's only a single reuse.

The other thing to note is that plastic bags are naturally waterproof. You can even wash (more like rinse) them if you so desire, but they also don't tend to attract dirt, unlike the woven types.
Thanks! Feel free to log any issues you encounter. TLS is complex, but I think I have it working properly now.
Neither email nor phone anticipated the spam problem at the protocol layer, and solutions have instead been tacked on. At least anecdotally, the solutions mostly work, if slow to gain the adoption throughout the network to make them useful. Even phone spam hasn’t been as bad for me since SHAKEN/STIR became law.
aren't people who are strong negotiators generally more valuable anyway?
Ask HN: My Covid 19 “brain” – Advice Please
I think I caught covid exactly 2 weeks ago, I never got tested during the height of my symptoms, so I am not 100% sure that it was COVID-19

Here were my symptoms if you are interested:
https://pixeldrain.com/u/WsF9QN2q

I have had both vaccines and I am 18

The symptoms lasted for around 1 week, proceeding that I felt that I became dumber (I lost a good 15 IQ points), my memory became worse, I find it harder to recount memories and experiences, as well as general knowledge, my chain of reasoning and my ability to think and make decisions have got worse. AKA I feel dumber, however this feeling is a little different to my experience with brain fog as with brain fog I can feel the ability to "think" at a higher level "there" but it is just covered by the fog sensation, this time I feel dumber, and I can never achieve that higher level of cognitive thought. I am also doing worse academically as a result.

I have read my that brain matter density has potentially decreased, and I cannot reverse this feeling and me being dumber, however I have also read that my brain cells are inflamed and it is short term and is reversible.

I thought HN would be a good place to ask since a lot of people on here seem to know about biology and anatomy etc and I didn't want to make a doctor's appointment if it was a short term thing - Edit: Apparently 4chan/pol would be a better place to post this

The illegally dumped plastic fishing gear also comes from countries with poorly-monitored fishing industries, so the same basic dynamic applies.
Slight nit, you spelled it 'payed' in the first paragraph and 'paid' in the second. The latter is correct.
I've had tenures ranging from 6 months to 10 years as well as 2 years not working. At no time did I ever had trouble finding a backend dev job that I was interested in taking though I did switch tech stacks and/or do some full-stack work. There's always work for qualified candidates regardless of 'red flags'. I'm also quite old and never had an issue with that either.
Decentralized social networking has been around for decades and never caught on because the pain of setup isn't worth it for most users.
Salary transparency, like all levelling mechanisms, pushes salaries down. Your highest salaried team members are simply replaced by contractors as they realise that their remuneration is now tied to the impression it gives to their colleagues rather than the value of their own labor.

I only say that because I may change this schema in the future. If API stability is important to you then I can be persuaded to believe so if you pay me to maintain the stability. Not wanting to commit to a data model is not a sign of weakness, it is a sign that I am not omniscient and can and will make mistakes. This data model isn't as critical to me as things like the schema for RSS/JSON feeds. Not everything needs to be maintained to mission critical standpoints.

EDIT: I removed the verbiage about the API route.
Performance of the Settings app is disappointing. Most of its views are just a handful of basic controls with a fixed layout, and yet switching to not-yet-cached views has a noticeable lag.

I'm flabbergasted that Apple's latest UI struggles to beat web apps not just on design (RIP Aqua), but also performance.

"Stress Hormone" Cortisol Linked to Early Toll on Thinking Ability
No offense, but I think all of these federation protocols are a massive waste of time. Everything is building on top of the existing. At the end of the day, nation states still control the links.

Also lack of free speech isn't the problem with Twitter, nor do federated services solve it (control over your identity is meaningless if noone will let you distribute your content). The problem with Twitter/social media is that it amplifies all of the negative aspects of social power.

Moving that to a federated protocol won't make the environment less toxic. There won't suddenly be less misinformation (on one side) or less censorship (on the other). Social media is rotten at its core and just shouldn't have a place in polite society.

The fact that Twitter is so popular/necessary among journalists is a feature -- the profession moved from working class to being a tool/playground of billionaires decades ago and the combination of publications and social media is how they enforce their worldview on masses. The most social-media savvy journalists (e.g. Carlos Maza, Taylor Lorenz, etc) come from ultra-wealthy families.

Jack Dorsey either fundamentally misunderstands that or is complicit and doesn't care.

If people really want "internet freedom", then we're going to have to fully embrace balkanization and be prepared to run completely parallel networks with separate root DNS and compelling content to make people use it. It's a pipe dream.
For what it's worth: the threat model for whole-disk encryption is "I turned my laptop off, shut it, and then managed to leave it in the back of a taxi". That's pretty much the only scenario it's helping you in. It's a way of making sure that a lost laptop isn't a company-wide security incident.
Imo the problem is not quantity but quality. And even then, the most important characteristic of that quality is the known transparency behind the platform itself, which affects the mentioned quality of behavior & content.

I personally don't think this will rise that quickly(for many reasons, the main 2 being the focus on web3 and the second being jack's past), but the fact remains that the market for a non-censorable or at least trustworthy social media platform exists.
Every autumn my mother would drive us to the local cemetery to pick up the gross fallen ginkgo seeds into a bag to take them home, wash the smelly seedcoats off, drop them onto a baking pan into the oven to roast them.

They taste and smell nothing like the vomit seedcoats, they’re kinda like pistachios but a bit rubbery and chewy. I’m still surprised they’re not more popular and that more people don’t know, but perhaps it’s because most municipalities avoid the smelly males. I didn’t realize the toxicity until checking wiki, either.
Actually, Loom is about threading and helps support NIO. You'll still need Selectors, Channels, and ByteBuffers with Loom, you'll just be able to pass off the parsing and handling to a Fiber. You might be able to get away with doing the IO blocking with Fibers, but it likely won't scale. Non-blocking IO is still way faster at the OS level so my guess is that Loom will simply replace 10-20 lines of code in java-http and the majority of the IO will be the same.
bad bot

(Just to test if the alleged GTP3 bot keeps replying.)
This is the only comment by Trabenfuchs in this thread that even remotely sounds like a bot to me.
One potential downside to releasing early is the risk of a hardcore fanbase coalescing around the game, that knows every system and exploit in and out. As a result they then scream for the game to be harder, harder. And as such devoted and vocal fans for so long, the devs may be overly inclined to listen to them, to the detriment of the new/less experienced player experience.

Among others, I think Risk of Rain fell prey to this, but I may be thinking of a different game.
Oops, I'll fix that later.

EDIT: removed link to the source code with a suggestion to file a PR. I have apparently erred.

EDIT 2: the fix is deployed.

Do you and buffer pay the same regardless of location? Honestly that always seemed more fair to me than "cost of living" adjustments which often fail to capture a lot of the nuances of actual differences in costs of living.

I think in this context, these protocols just makes\ it so that multiple private "bluesky"s can exist and interact. Users can move between being hosted on bluesky or redsky or whatever.

I love DietPi... except their SSH settings.

Beceuse RPi doesn't have AES instructions it's SSH file transfer is slow.
They can accelerate this using ChaCha20-Poly1305 then transfers speed will be 3x compared to AES-256.
I feel like they're just hitting the limits of a bash+shims based approach. I understand why they've done it, but in the end an implementation in a compiled language will beat that approach most of the time.
There are issues since a shell hook will only work as long as you're, well, using a (supported) shell.

However, it's surprising to hear that they've been focusing on UX. The fact that you have to manually install a plugin, then install a version, and then finally set it, without the tool suggesting any of those steps to you when you forgot one, really makes the tool annoying to use when switching versions a lot.
People's pay and financial details is something I'm happy to not know. Once you know, you cannot "unknow". That knowledge would leak into my perception of neighbors and friends. It would also change their perception of me. Regardless of the number. It's human nature.

Is there a recent-is review of the crypto it uses?

I used to use Boxcryptor so I could have file-by-file encryption and sync directories full of encrypted files to various cloud storage services, but there was a know vulnerability with the way the crypto worked, were updates/changes to previously encrypted files could leak important info (I don't recall if it was cleartext or key hints?). It also had the problem of not encrypting directory names, so an attacker could see that you had a directory named "Plans For Super Secret Volcano Submarine Base" or "Darkweb purchase receipts".
not trying to be rude but... this is a really really bad looking employment history. if i see people quit soon after joining once or twice i get that, if i see someone fired once or twice understandable, but anything where someone spends 4 years being employed for less than a month, lots of gaps, many of those just 1-2 months that looks bad. you might want to consider taking it down. (again i don't know what happened but just trying to be helpful)
POWERplay: A toolchain to study AI power-seeking
Thanks for the clarification.

How does the memory loss manifest? Are you aware that you lost time, like can you feel that you did experience time pass for X amount of days, but you just don't remember what took place? Or is the feeling that the time never passed at all, like it was Monday and you woke up on Friday, but it felt like it was actually Tuesday morning, and you have no intuitive feeling that a week passed at all?
Because there are people who accept death is part of the life and accept it as how it is. Live the life and accept this is the end someday. The world is a big place and not everyone cares about whether after life exists since no one knows for sure.
Aside from the positive effect of potentially raising your peers expectations and their salaries, have you experienced any negative effects of having your public identity and salary published?

I imagine if someone on a very high SWE salary published this, people (family, friends, the public) would treat them differently. I also am curious if there would be safety concerns?
Would love to see your set up!

Nazis are already spoiled for choice.
This is actually an important comment, because it is about the same CPU in a different machine, which could help isolate the problem. The more interesting question is whether there's a general problem with Intel's 12th gen chips, because that will affect far more people than anything Framework does.
Usefulness of the API aside, the tone of it is full of red flags. Combined with all the other red flags, I can't help but to read it like this:
"You should be grateful I ever bothered to make an API, if it changes that is your problem. I can't bother to make this API stable or version it, this data is so valuable I assume you will make changes on your end if you hope to integrate with it."

One of the fun things I did during COVID was think about what it's like for someone trying to OSINT me -- something I hadn't done since college.

That's a heck of a dystopian view, TBH. Be glad it was just the landfill, otherwise it might have been a nuclear dump? Welp, guess that's just economics, nothing we can do about that, poor unlucky rubes!

I know you didn't mean it that way, but it can sound extraordinarily tone-deaf to talk down to people like this.
>"The point is that those technologies were exceptional at their time, but were still lost, and we are poorer for it, because it took away hundreds of years of erstwhile progress that could have been made had we remembered and kept building on them."

I agree with you point. On the other hand I think if we did not forget anything and kept improving while still having medieval views we might have had exterminated ourselves already.
