Protection of free speech, its intent atleast, is to protect citizens from governments.

Not to give citizens a free for all tongue wagging that can harm others or incite violence.

Free speech is to be used against tyrannical governments.

If someone is saying "jews are vermin", they absolutely have to be gagged.

In the 1980s, it was common for vendors to offer source licenses to their customers, at times for an additional fee. DEC sold customers the OpenVMS sources (Compaq/HP continued the practice, and maybe VSI is keeping it up); IBM caused a lot of controversy in the early 1980s with the announcement that they were going to stop allowing customers source code access to MVS. Against that background, unsurprising that to learn that Sun sold source licenses to their customers for SunOS as well.
As a sometimes-administrator of Linux systems, I have lots of reasons for finding setting up, altering, and reasoning about various daemons to be all much better and less error-prone in a systemd world.

It also seems a bit of a straw man to still be making the pro-systemd side as if it's mostly about boot times. I also barely ever reboot my system but still appreciate systemd's approaches to things like logging, service status, and service overridability.
It's far from certain that would fix the issue, though. If the problem is some edge case problem with the connection, what's to say it couldn't happen under standard load?
> but Vijaya had been in charge of legal and policy for a decade at a company that regularly has to tangle with nation state governments

In charge of, but almost certainly not the DRI, or related talent, for any of that. Her direct experience is most certainly minimal, compared to the people actually doing that work. This assumes there's not significant corruption of course.

So the questions would be, will Elon see the value in those groups responsible, and will those groups stick around on their own? I imagine so.

Without recommendation, I think Twitter should have the same liability as an ISP for allowing posting over the internet.

I do think Twitter should moderate what they promote and recommend but don’t think they are responsible for posts and users that users manually seek out.

We support data warehouses and not trying things out in staging is root cause for many P0 cases. Especially on the weekend because a lot of companies do upgrades Saturday night. I had to deal with this exact scenario last weekend in Istanbul Airport at 9am Sunday morning over a janky LTE connection. It was not a pretty sight.

If you are running databases the null hypothesis for any mission critical system is that you must have staging to test upgrade as well as out-of-band activities like restoring from backup.

Edit: And to test performance too. Use real data.

You need a little bit (or at least it helps a lot).

Al metallization is completely pants, so a few hundred kg of copper and nickel per MW is 'necessary' insofar as ae can't really do it without.

Similarly al windings and internal cabling for wind are currently commercially viable, but al alloy undersea cabling is not great and there's some Cu needed in high strength alloys in the gearbox.

We could easily get enough for a 2kW per person target by dismantling existing nuclear and coal infrastructure though.

So, it's not literally true. It's just vibes, man. And I guess that's what disappoints me.

Sure, here's the doc this is taken from: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.ser...

You can find this doc by typing "systemd.service" into your favorite search engine.

The title I link to is the simple case example, which explains just below the content sample that it has pretty much the behavior you want:

Since no ExecStop= was specified, systemd will send SIGTERM to all processes
started from this service, and after a timeout also SIGKILL. This behavior can
be modified, see systemd.kill(5) for details.

Per this, you can either implement SIGTERM rather than SIGHUP, or you can change the stop signal. It already has a generous shutdown timeout (on one of my systems where I have a similarly simple unit, it's defaulted to 1m30s). You can change the timeout by setting https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.ser...

The docs are pretty good, and worth a scan.

Edit: I forgot about the arguments, you can just add them to the ExecStart= line (doc: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.ser...).

PANTONE does not work that way. A converter like that would only allow you to see similar colors on your screen but would not guarantee the likeness of the color on different devices / print. So such a conversion would be lossy.

The Gitea repo is actually not that big. The harder part is converting issue and pull request metadata from the GitHub archive which they reference here:

https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/18165

The migration bundles all of that up so I assume the holdup is writing something that can covert that archive to something Gitea understands or can use.
There is a threshold for how much css/js gets loaded. Exceptions made for side wigits on a page, and web forums.

I've found myself confused by this:

On a side note why does every wiki site have something like this? I can't tell what it is and haven't had time to look into it. But thats more than just a few lines of js to layout a page.

Lastly, some sites like Wikipedia have hundreds of millions of pages, allowing them in would swamp the index as some people cant help but want to submit hundreds or thousands of pages from the same site (which would get blocked). I don't have enough resources to carry the zillions of wiki pages and have them drown out everything else. Most people know where to go if they want to look something up in Wikipedia and Google does a great job of it for just about every query you make, there will be Wikipedia prominently up there as a top result.

Women not only do, but express the preference to, stay home with kids at much higher rates than men. It's quite likely there is a biological reason for that, and that the social construct derives from that instead of the other way around.

The fact that some women don't want to stay home and some men do doesn't mean it's a social construct. Many biologically-rooted differences between men and women are expressed in the population as overlapping but not coextensive normal distributions.

chiefalchemist left an awesome comment; that's basically the gist.

Would you say that if you own 20% shares of the most popular sushi restaurant in town - and then there was a kitchen fire not covered by insurance and you accidentally poisoned a customer - no value of your investment was destroyed?

Of course it was. You can debate how much of it was speculative but even in tech its not all made up.

> "do not solder, use included crimp connectors"

That's about vibration and bi-metallic corrosion, not current handling. Gas tight crimps solve both problems whereas solder fairs poorly. Low cost PCs can't be expected to tolerate either high vibration or the elements, so a soldered design with sufficient margin for imperfect conductors could work fine in a PC.

Way to give yourself a black eye NVidia. High power needs a margin for error and there is clearly none here.

Ask HN: Does anyone believe Quantum Computing will scale?
My understanding is that QC is in some ways, theoretically, able to efficiently compute exponential problems. Such as integer factorization.

I’m inspired by Scott Aaronson saying about the invisible electric fence for P!=NP. In all sorts of different ways, something stops hard problems from having efficient solutions.

https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=1720

I know someone who used to work on QC and they said offhand “Maybe building a large quantum computer will be just as hard as solving hard computational problems.” Aka, maybe the invisible fence is there for QC too.

I also know that due to the way QC affects cryptography, it gets a lot of funding from governments. It’s an arms race. This could produce a lot of business, without actual results.

So I want to hear from a quantum computing researcher. Do any of you seriously believe in quantum supremacy?

The deeper question is why was the alternative to Boris and the obvious “more of the same please sir” slow spiral of letting the government rot away or selling it that he and the Tory party stand for… why was the alternative to all that considered to be more “scary”? Might it have something to do with an entire class of politically connected “reporters” who make a living being the voice of the already powerful since the UK media environment doesn’t encourage a robust “truth to power” type of confrontational reporting? From the too easy to abuse libel laws, to a system of patronage and gatekeeping that in no small part is leaking out of the way the minor nobility get through life without the large landed estates the major nobles inherit. If your a good friendly journalist you get an interview, say the right things and you get more, say the things they want about other people and they start to like you, you become their “good friend” and you have begun down the path of “media capture” it’s one of Britain’s greatest sicknesses…

The reporting and media class is either captured by the conservative and anything else slowly towards the conservatives views in a desperate effort to try and curry their favour, or sinks into the mud and joins the ranks of the tabloid trash no one takes seriously but buys anyway since it’s basically entertainment not really news reporting.

At worst Corbyn was a Bernie sanders, he would have shaken things up, rebuilding the social fabric that makes up various safety nets, refunded important social efforts like hospitals, infrastructure, that sort of thing, he might even have built more social housing and raised taxes on rich people that could afford it. That’s not Stalin, that’s not even Marx, it’s just someone who thinks government can genuinely help people by being a strong foundation that everyone gets to benefit from… as far as I can tell, he was scary because he was a “threat” to house prices continued unsustainable rise in value, and the bloated bank balances of rich people and companies who might have had to pay more taxes.

But as someone who’s only learned this perspective from remote sources (I live in Australia and follow various UK things with different perspectives) I’d love to add your own perspective on the whole failed social movement that was Jeremy Corbyn.

Holy thank god. These things deserve to be written in Rust (see also, matrix-rust-sdk and the entire ecosystem rebasing on it). And ipfs-go and the existing ipfs ecosystem, I'm just so disappointed. They've had so much money floating around, so many filecoin adjacent projects with ipfs-adjacent insiders and yet so much low hanging fruit that seems unrealized or locked up in poc nodejs projects.

This is probably the single best thing to happen for ipfs in 3+ years. Bravo, I actually have hope in ipfs again.

Computer security 101 says that there should be one set of checks for the information (parsimony of mechanism), all access go through that mechanism (complete intermediation), and as few people/things have access to the data as possible (least privilege).

Making sure all private data goes in the vault and the vault is secure shouldn't take more than 1% of an organization the size of Twitter. Even if they're doing it poorly, it shouldn't be more than 10%.

If it really is 5x (> 80% of their engineering budget), I guarantee you they are in violation of the consent decree -- there is no way to vet that many engineers or audit their work!
Most of the things you mentioned are implemented in the "Browser" that I've built. It's using multicast DNS to discover neighboring running instances and it has an offline cache first mentality, which means that e.g. download streams are shared among local peers.

Global peer discovery is solved via mapping of identifiers via the reserved TLD, and via mutual TLS for identification and verification. So peers are basically pinned client certificates in your local settings.

Works for most cases, had to implement a couple of breakout tunnel protocols though, so that peer discovery works failsafe when known IPs/ASNs are blocked.

Relaying and scattering traffic works automatically, so that no correlation of IPs to scraped websites can be done by an MITM. Tunnel protocols are all generically implemented, DNS exfiltration, HTTPS smuggling, ICMP tunnels, and pwnat work already pretty failsafe.

What's missing is UPnP support so that it behaves a little more gracefully when a router would be cooperative in nature, but after trying to implement the "specification" a bunch of times I skipped it for now.

Lots of work to be done though, and had to focus on couple of other things first before I can get back to the project.

The browser is part of a larger network that's trying to automate cyber threat intelligence on a peer to peer level, so clients, servers, websites and domains have a trust ratio and a history of trust to prevent misclassification of a new domain owner that e.g. defaced a website or tries to inject their malicious assets up unto previously trusted peers.
