Well, covid demonstrated that bad things can appear, that rapid human response can have an effect and that medical and pharma technology is able to respond quickly to a crisis. Having the works massively review existing alternatives for a new situation, communicating at lightening speed was something that could not have occurred 20+ years ago. Having the ability to rapidly create multiple vaccine alternatives and a few direct treatment attempts in a year or so was totally unexpected. Hell, the virus was sequenced in days or a few weeks. That aspect of the system worked better than expected, fortunately.

Politicians, social media, business, however, totally failed. Hoarding supplies, denying results, ignoring the severity of the crisis, distributing bogus information…. Also something that wasn’t possible 20 years ago. Politicizing a crisis and allowing people to die was inhuman but commonplace. “Science” was ok. Society failed. And failed in such as way that the next crisis will be worse.
There's an order of magnitude difference in ease of handling energy. You can carry the fuel in cans, hold it in pallet containers in a shed. You can pump fuel between cars using just a pipe and gravity, for example from broken or abandoned vevicle. All this is cheap and easy, in contrast with EV where V2G (which would theoretically allow such usage) is a "capability".

(Here insert a joke about carrying Internet in buckets).
The crate might be reproducible, but the build process used to create the crate is not reproducible. Every build process should be reproducible, even the ones that are used to create the crates themselves.
coordinate what they think

What does that mean?

(Edit: wording)
Is it common for computers "that are pets, not cattle" to run Debian-like (APT) and RedHat-like (YUM)?

I would use all kinds except these.
At this level of detail it _is_ super misleading however to say "a 10x improvement" whilst in reality it's more like 6x
Can anyone explain why cuda and related libs are so huge? They take more space than my entire OS. Tensor computations as used in most deep learning networks are not very involved at first sight, so I'm a bit confused.
This is also the direction I'm thinking in.

I'd like to see email integration, but with sender authentication and builtin encryption whenever possible, yet backwards compatible with email systems that don't support that yet.

I want blog comments integrated so you can interact with the blog comments on your social media platform and vice versa. Maybe this can be done through a combination of RSS and a common comments/messaging standard.

I also want it to replace WhatsApp and Signal with a simple messaging service that can still run standalone, but can also be accessed from other platforms.

So interoperability with everything, but somehow also ensure security, block spam and abusive people, etc. Probably not an easy thing to solve.
What's happening is step 1 - Firefox buying into MV3, even if with its own tweaks, and mentioning that DNR is a thing that will happen eventually. Step 2 - once people get used to it and drama dies down - the implementation will likely become very close to Chrome, under the guise of not fragmenting the dev experience and similar nonsense excuses.

These moves keep happening in tech all the time. Slippery slope fallacy doesn't work here - if you see something that looks like slippery slope in a tech business, it almost definitely is one.
While it is a blog post, I think their concern that it could muddy the waters persists regardless. Your statement seems to imply that if it was a worthwhile idea it would not harmed by mischaracterization, which doesn’t make much sense to me.
well you don't need to sell me the new car, you can sell me the key and give me car as a gift for free
> lots of unhappy responses to this, but don't shoot the messenger

Generally it is assumed that the messenger is a relatively neutral party, like a courier or a postman. A recruiter has a lot of input into how that message is delivered and some insider knowledge, so they aren't completely neutral. I imagine companies want recruiters to take a few shots for them.

Would love to be able to size them with eg. CSS Variables. --width, --height etc.
I came to Ansible from Puppet, buying in to the claims I'd heard about Ansible being so much simpler ("it uses YAML for its config, which is so much simpler than configuring Puppet").

Turns out that, like Puppet, Ansible seems to have been congealed rather than designed, and it's a mess of inconsistent spaghetti code.

All the other config management systems I've tried, from Salt to Chef have exactly the same problem.

I'd be thrilled to find a config management system that actually was simple and elegant.
Not the person you're replying to but, using existing websites as an example, if I am not mistaken activity pub would allow you to see "twitter" posts from "facebook" and viceversa, or even using your "twitter" account to like and comment "youtube" videos

Ask HN: Recommendations for Steam Deck Games
I've been devouring so many good recommendations and now I am thirsty for more. So far I have obliterated:

- Hades
- The Cult of The Lamb
- Disco Elysium
- Thimbleweed Park

But I trust people here have many good things to add to the list!
Actually in this case he’s using an airfoil spinning on a horizontal axis perpendicular to the direction of flight.

But yes, helicopters can be safely landed this way without power (not crash landed, but actually landed, though crashing is always an option lol)

Also, gyrocopters use the same principle for all phases of controlled flight, by simply using a traction engine to move the aircraft foreword, with a free spinning, unpowered, typically fixed pitch or no cyclic control rotor providing the lift.
I have two Lenovos and a MacBook Pro here in front of me.

Believe me, when I say Plan9/9front/rio has a crap UX on laptops, it isn't due to lack of trying. Even when I ran an Plan9 "terminal" on a Pi with a three-button mouse, the UX was bad.
What major changes to the grid are required to make EVs work and why do they have to be "smart"? Electricity consumption will increase but it will be quite uniform if everyone is switching to EVs. A few upgrades for added capacity will be needed but I don't see any major issues with that. And while all new cars have to be emission-free by 2035 that does not mean all cars in use will be. It'll take probably till 2040 to 2045 for the vast majority to be EVs and that's plenty of time to do the necessary upgrades.
I don't know what will replace twitter, but I'm scared it might end up being something I actually use - causing its inevitable downfall.

Please, Musk, keep that cesspool open so that all those flies will stay there - I don't want them in my neck of the woods.
No coil wine on my XPS 13 Ubuntu Edition. The only down side is that new Dell laptops don't support real sleep mode, so you'll open your laptop after a weekend with only 60% battery left.
Maybe, but let's not allow the government boogeyman to blind us to the direct and immediate threat, which is adtech and surveillance economy.
Why would you put all your money in just one stock you idiots
Content moderation (which seems to be the biggest point of contention with Twitter right now) is decentralized.

By choosing your hoster, you delegate content moderation capabilities for your feed to them. If you don't agree with their policies, you can switch to a different hoster without having to leave the ecosystem.

I am not sure to which degree this is practiced/convenient in Mastodon currently, but its distributed nature enables this as an elegant solution to the content moderation problem IMO
Is Hunter running for office?
As said above, I have two Lenovos and a MacBook Pro here in front of me.
Well for starters there are already over a dozen different softwares in the fediverse. I can't even say exactly how many there are because some people have made their own blogs connected to the fediverse.

So that's the true power of ActivityPub, that it can be integrated into any software. Wordpress has a plugin, Nextcloud is working on one, Gitea is working on some type of federation.

Since I only ever used Mastodon (and GnuSocial before that) I can only speculate how exactly they work but let's assume you post a blog post on Wordpress, that blog post is then posted using ActivityPub to other nodes where your followers are. It might be posted to an AP relay that just relays the posts it gets to all other nodes connected to it. Increasing the discoverability of your blog to people who don't follow you.

So that means all AP nodes connected to that one relay just received your wordpress blog post in their inbox and will show that to their local users. (you have to differ between local and remote users in the fediverse).

And then the remote users of other nodes can comment on your wordpress post, and those comments are in a thread so you as the owner of the wordpress post will get those replies back to your instance, which is your wordpress blog.

So what I just described is you posting a blog post from your wordpress, but receiving comments on your blog post from other softwares, other nodes, readable in the comfort of your own wordpress blog.
Right now there are indeed zero people working on the reproducibility of crates and other language-package-manager packages, but there is no reason why the site would be restricted to distro packages once the language-package-manager communities start working on the reproducibility of their packages.

Some distros actually do run `cargo install` or similar during build, although Debian does not indeed.
Agreed. Nothing has accelerated media groupthink more than Twitter.
They do this in basketball all the time. At least they try to. That's why there's a shot clock.
Which model of XPS 13? There have been so many different ones over the years.

And what is real sleep mode? Suspend to disk?
However Germany tries to spin it they are doing very badly on emissions.

> Switching to electric just because of that is worth in the long term

Is it, though?

Batteries are not exactly environment-friendly and hydrogen seems too often ignored.
Gone dark for 25 years when I started to feel exhausted with a more than full time job, a beautiful wife and multiple small (<5yo) kids.

My doctor, and old horse, refused to give me beta blockers or other pills. Instead he said "Stop reading newspapers (yes, that was thing then) and drinking coffee. Come back in a couple months."

I did and boy, did it change my life for the better!
So supporting radical left wing people with millions of dollars for output of political propaganda does not? Would you be as apologetic if Wikimedia would donate money to people who spread nazi propaganda as well? If nothing makes them extremists, then no one is extremist.

Of course it's all subjective but this is kind of what I mean that people like this destroys. If we, the other people standing by, cannot even get along to call shit out when it appears then we are royalty effed.
Ask HN: What jobs would allow you to program your own projects almost full time?
I was wondering, there must be jobs that allow you to be paid for full time work, and spend most of your time coding.

The only job I could up with though is maybe car park attendant where you sit in the booth. If you found a quite carpark you might get to spend most of your time coding?

Any other jobs like this?
Hmm I don't know what they're doing in the US, but where I am Uber seems to be a decent service.

However, it costs as much as taxis so it's mostly a matter of preference what you order. And it has competition from Bolt.
Sounds good if Russia aren’t included in this “OPEC” (Russia is inside the OPEC+)
In my thinkpad T440p CPU whines, but only when it's in lowest power saving state. I can only hear it when I turn side ways to it, but it honestly doesn't bother me much, since lowest power saving states are quite rare to enter during any kind of work on laptop.
I had the same issue and reinstalling the app fixed it. it started when I got a new phone and some of my data must have been corrupted on the initial app download
Russian here, living in Russia. Yes, I have stopped reading all news completely -- even despite the fact that it may directly affect my survival (via mobilization).

I haven't been reading news since mid-August. I was in Georgia a that time, and I noticed just how much reading news (especially Russia-related news) made me sick. At the place I stayed at, there was another girl who was also feeling sick from reading news, so we decided to do a full detox -- no news, no politics in discussions.

So we unsubscribed from all political channels (our biggest news source was Telegram), and left all chats and groups where politics and news were being discussed.

I'm not looking back. I don't worry that I'll miss some major piece of news. I'll hear it here on HN anyway, or, if it's Russia-specific, I'll inevitably get it forwarded to me by friends who still read news. For example, here's how I learned that Mikhail Gorbachev has died: I read it here on HN, and a friend who was sitting next to me, read about it in a Telegram channel about high fashion.

So, I have no plans to get back to that dopamine hell. My life is too short for that.
How else can you write this article, though? "I also feel like an impostor, and also I haven't done anything interesting" is much less useful. If you want to encourage people who feel like impostors, you basically have to say "I feel like an impostor too, and I'm doing well, or so I hear".
But then why the worry of the OP? Do they belong to the elite and face an awful future of lack of coordination?
I guess I’m just grumpy this morning but perhaps a business whose purpose was selling ads and user data wasn’t the best long term bet? I would have thought fickle tastes and a desire for personal security (coupled with bots and fake profiles) would have been big risks.
It does, under the accessibility options. 'Contrast themes' allow fairly fine-grained customization, still, and a lot of legacy values that have been there since Windows 95 are still supported otherwise to some extent albeit sometimes hidden.
How does the TOTP secret get copied into Authy? Seems like you could just copy the data out of that and into an open source tool instead of Authy.
> Chrome exists in large part to put a search engine front and center, which Fisher describes to me as like “a brick wall” for all kinds of browser innovation.

Chrome used to have this tab-to-search feature. When you visited a website like HN, it would use OpenSearch[1] to check whether it had a search engine, and then show "tab to search" in the address bar. That always seemed to me like a sign that the chrome team was working independently to make a great browser, even when that meant supporting other search engines. But today, you have to set this up manually in the settings.

There is little evidence inflation below a huge 40% or whatever causes any serious problems.
You are correct. There are honest politicians that clearly state in subtext about the honesty of public information. Disinformation is nothing else. It is how politics work these days and we can hope it will improve with time.

I don't know how the parent can compare an instance of a crazy person to government sending people in war that kill hundreds of thousands of people. Because these lives are no media personalities?

To me this is nothing one should base an opinion on. Information needs to be free of course and if government gets their hand on some platforms, these will become unreliable sources with far more and significant disinformation than we have seen before.
SD card corruption is a big problem with the Pi, but its easily solved: enable the read-only overlay for your boot/root filesystems. This is built into the RPI OS. start raspi-config, and go into performance options.

Every month or two, disable the overlay (again using raspi-config), reboot, apply updates, re-enable the overlay, and you are good to go.

Also, if you are using a PI4, switch to booting from a USB stick and just forget about the SDcard.
I had coil whine with Dell laptops and the decision is: never again. To save fractions of cents on components only to annoy the person that has dropped a few thousand euros on their main tool. Just drives me nuts.

These days I have a nuc in an Akasa case to make it completely silent for my Linux desktop and an MBP for the road, I wish there was a good linux story for the laptop but I've just given up. It really is a shame as the tiling-wm story on macos is unusable.
Can we say that any of those are "using" Twitter though?

I'm on the fence whether brands do.
Except it will be then greatly easier to make those ~60 coal plants greener than the ~50m cars on the roads today.
UKIP / EDL have hijacked the Conservatives, they are basically following the English Nationalist agenda
Lets just not forgt that a company worth 43 BILLION didn't have a dev environment. .... They just yeeted code onto prod
>So interoperability with everything, but somehow also ensure security, block spam and abusive people, etc. Probably not an easy thing to solve.

This is the giant elephant in the room. If we compare AP to e-mail, then all of us who have worked in e-mail ops know the trouble brewing.

And it has already started.

So yes having a federated social media brings new problems but it also brings new freedoms.
This really resonates with me too. I already have a private Discord with just a few others who are both friends and work in software development, which serves as our closed-network way of discussing software and also a healthy dose of memes and real-life chat.

Ive thought about inviting others who I'm less close to, because I'd welcome their contributions to those discussions, but there is always the fear of adding anyone reducing the trust and transparency present atm. In lieu of that I'd love a nice and easy way to follow the thoughts of those peers and friends, without having to switch between substack blogs, LinkedIn posts, medium posts and a range of other things.

The trouble, usually, is that convincing all of those peers to adopt a new thing for this alone is a hard sell, when we're already so oversaturated on tools and platforms.
It means you're mostly compute limited. Which i find is rare in web api's.
I found that work and relationships interfered with my professional drinking career. I didn't really have to worry as alcohol removed both of these impediments. It took many months before I was given insight. A moment of clarity. I am a CPA and various PG degrees. I could not execute cursive writing or read more than two sentences at the end of my drinking career. My first job in sobriety was painting white lines on roads, marking out carparks and asphalting (hard). I found all those tasks challenged me to my then limits. Many years later I reflect that all, yes all, of my life's difficulties in those dark days were rooted in my addiction to alcohol. I stopped drinking, ten minutes, one hour, one day at a time. All my birth family have died of alcohol related causes, asphyxiation on own vomit, alcoholic cardio myopathy, untreated perforated ulcer with sepsis. I don't have to prove them right.
Twitter's approach of contextless messages of limited length has made Twitter particularly suitable for shouting into the void. There's little context, unlike in a longer Facebook-style post, and every reaction stands on its own. It's only really suitable for announcements, not for meaningful discussion. Threads make it somewhat possible to tell a longer story, but it's still less cohesive than it would be anywhere else.

It's short and context free, which means it's only for soundbites, which is why it's popular with politicians and trolls.

Nobody uses it to coordinate anything, they just use it to announce stuff or just to shout. That's all it's good for.

How does one come up with this? Like where do you start?
My grandparents wouldn't have given a single hoot over the dog dying. The cows though? Those were important.
This is not about a nipple. It is about empowering elected and non-elected forces to determine what is true and what version of a story they want.

To answer your question, since the other replies are being disingenuous, it's a dog whistle for groups including 'liberals', left wingers, and - historically - Jewish people. This is why the OP comment makes the unsubstantiated claim that it's a method of coordinating an in-group's thought - as though agreeing with a left-wing bias Twitter is because of brainwashing and propaganda.

It's unsubstantiated because it's easily proven wrong. Twitter was home to Trump's presidential campaign. It's home to groups like ISIS, the Western output of the Kremlin, of the CCP, of Bolsonaro. Of Musk.

There is a point to be made about the changing role of Twitter. In my mind it is for some definition of 'elites' - but for expressing their views to their followers, not for coordinating. Sad that this opportunity to discuss such has been co-opted by conspiratorial rhetoric.
No I'm afraid I've looked very little at the actual protocol, mostly been busy running a node.

I have seen a few people write their own AP implementations, in their personal blogs for example. It doesn't seem hard. My suggestion to learn AP would be to integrate your own blog into AP first. That way you learn by doing.
I took ssh only as an example as curl has the same dependency.

But thanks to @Beltalowda it is obvious, that the lib64/openssl3 does not belong to openssl.
blogger.com has existed for forever (maybe older than Linode or Cloudflare)

The main advantage of self-hosting on a VPS provider is that you fully own your site... but it's a tradeoff in time, money and hassle of setup and administration.

Why bother when you can let someone else do all that for you... for free?
Yes they created a global reserve currency they can print to get energy as they need and a super large military to force everyone to go along with it.

Securing large amounts of cheap energy is non trivial as europe is beginning to find out.
Advice that worked for me
These are all CVEs of security issues in the proprietary firmware of wireless input devices, that lead to either eavesdropping or input injection or both.
I don't think Mozilla has a choice here. Chrome just has the sheer market power at the moment. If Mozilla went down a different path, extension developers would likely just favor Chrome (and MV3) as that's where unfortunately most users are.

Even if they provided an easier path to MV3, developers would likely have hurried up anyway because Chrome won't do so.
Many thanks for the information! This is really confusing.
Some of these don't look like checkboxes at all, and wouldn't trigger any indication that they could be changed. For example, if I saw number 44 next to a line of text, I'd think "that must be something not available for some reason" rather than "I could click that to choose it".
Same with 50 and 26 (that's a stop sign!) - they look like bullet points.

Some of the others are pretty nice though!
A "war against Firefox users" is maybe a bit much, though MV3 is definitely a slap in the face, and is a battle in the ongoing war on general-purpose computing[0]. But then, "they sometimes make mistakes" isn't also an accurate description of the mess Mozilla is these days. In the last years, they've been routinely wasting money and alienating the userbase by doing lots of weird side projects nobody asked for, instead of focusing on improving the software people actually use.
