> potential readers should know it's fake.

If potential readers cannot differentiate between reality and parody they're either deep in a conspiracy rabbit hole, or reality has become too crazy. Both these cases would again be a valid reason for parody to point out this fact.

Jokes work by surprising the audience. Pretending to be someone else before revealing the truth is just one method of doing this, and requiring to label it as parody is like explaining the punchline before the joke. The Onion recently wrote an actual legal document on exactly this and how required labelling of parody violates free speech.
The means is an interesting question. Having done a little scuba diving, the depth of the pipelines (70-90 meters) put it out of range of any diver without a sophisticated mix of gases (Trimix diving). A remotely operated vehicle would also work. The pipelines were made of thick steel wrapped with concrete, so some kind of high-tech explosive was necessary, perhaps shaped charges (used in the oil industry for blowing holes in pipe casing to increase oil flow, for example).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_pipeline

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trimix_(breathing_gas)

See the EPA for details. I guess it's okay to link to this, it's an official US government site.

https://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/documents/casingperf...

Perhaps locating both of the pipelines deep under the water would be difficult? Point being, the ability to do this might not be as exclusive to nation-states as it has been portrayed (note the ease with which the videographer found the pipelines with an ROV, although the big bubbles probably helped). So, who knows?

As far as who benefited, well, Russia certainly seems to want to continue selling gas to Europe, and is pushing for repair of the pipelines. The USA wants to replace Russian gas with American LNG. Coming up with a reason for Russia to do it would require some mental gymnastics, I think.

I don't know if you noticed, but sudo has many CVE's since it existed, for such a small target (executing with root).
Yes, and why should they? Social media is not a tool to reduce crime, the government can fund its own social media if it so desires.
> Seeing Trump banned from Twitter made politicians realise they shouldnt be all in on the whims of "content moderators" at a corporation in another country.

Interesting point. Which I would agree with you, but I tend to see the EU parliament pretty well aligned with democrats in EU and per consequence with Twitter moderation practices. I agree however with others here that probably in mastodon the radicalization should actually increase. I'm curious (not cheerleading) to see how Musk will tackle the moderation issue.
Some drives (for example those using Pioneer PureRead) will actually vary parameters like laser power and angle between re-reads, so it‘s possible that a damaged sector can get read probably after some retries.
UI wise looks good but data seems a bit inaccurate. For example, under "for" section all the keywords listed didn't have for preposition in it. So filtering needs to be refined. I searched for "ip changer apps".

The real negative stuff is Docker. I don't understand how anybody uses it in production without getting a stomach ulcer.

Just for one example, when we discovered that some of the built-in logging backends were straight up dropping data if your line length got sufficiently big, strong words were exchanged about the competence of various contributors. Or when our CI builds time out because the Docker daemon fails to respond within a three-minute window to a simple `docker stop` command. And I don't want to single Docker out here - all of "modern enterprise development" is like this. It's gotten to the point where my default stance is that I refuse to use database/messagebus systems that are younger than ten years.

edit: Seriously, do you not gripe? How do you stay sane?

We do have a mostly sunny warm autumn, but winter begins in December and runs until March, so let's wait a few months with the verdicts.
> At this point no matter what happens next many many people will stay in the fediverse.

i'm very skeptical. it has that "use a linux pc" feeling.

let me put it like this: does anyone believe it will dethrone tiktok? or whatsapp? or facebook? or even twitter? unless something major changes (e.g. a single node that has everything and everyone on it) i'd wager there's a 0% chance of that happening. but more people will surely use activitypub. the problem is the numbers will still be tiny.
For ripping, would it matter? It's probably not a feature that was needed back in time when audio CDs were designed, but in retrospective, getting a notification "bit error was detected when ripping, not sure where, but now you know" would help preservers - they could then find another copy of the CD and get a 100% accurate digital copy of the song (within limits of hashing algos of course).
Wow great news! This was awaited
People will buy whatever Apple makes lmao.

But in all seriousness it's the general public's lack of foresight to care about the direction these products go, they don't know what they're sacrificing all they see is shiny oled, whizzbang animations.

Same as the general apathy towards right to repair, the general public doesn't give two shits because they can't connect the dots: right to repair---->I can take it to the repair shop around the corner. Normies that hear about it will just think "well I'm not repairing stuff myself anyway".
Another benefit of monospaced fonts is ease of calculation of text-container width: any line x character count will always be the same length as any other.

The main use of this in practice is using line-char-count limits as a proxy to lint for code readability, but it can also be beneficial in other contexts.

any numbers? from the numbers i've seen, twitter is doing quite well.
Hmm an iPhone mini leaves a small enough impression in a pocket that it is acceptable to run with it in a shorts pocket

An iPhone 14 plus barely fits 100% in some tighter pockets on jeans/trousers and gives significant restriction in movement and comfort. YMMV.

More pathetic is Elon trying to publicly upsell Stephen King on the subscription at $20, then immediately backing down to $8[0].

> I never saw it presented in clear what the actual consequences of global warming are or how us cutting oil today would prevent a disaster.

I'm a bit surprised by this. I've always considered that today's world is so inundated with information about global warming, a lot of people will have a fair idea of its predicted consequences.

On the other hand, this sort of phrasing you have here, "guide me to the right path...", "When and how?", "what the consequences will be and when" etc betray a need for absolute and complete understanding of complex natural and social phenomena that, IMO, does not exist out there. So I'll advice that you don't look for certain answers. You should instead grasp the fundamentals and reason out how they will affect us.

Either way, I'll give it a shot:

1. Our global civilization is a very complex system that requires millions of well-coordinated activities and optimal conditions to work.

2. Climate is such a fundamental factor in all of this, so if it changes too quickly before we can adapt, a lot of things that make #1 true will cause a lot of problems.

(Case in point: Putin's war in Ukraine has doubled the price of bread in Ghana, West Africa, inconveniencing thousands of people who could not point Ukraine on a map. Now what will happen if a change in climate causes massive wheat failures in not only Ukraine, but other wheat producing countries? You tell me!)

3. There's also the fact that, AFAIK, oil and gas are finite resources, and someday they will run out. Longtermist thinking tells us to not get too hooked on these. We need to keep finding good alternatives to help us sustain what we have in #1 for much longer. This sort of concern drives everything from more efficient use of oil and gas, electric cars and nuclear power to planetary colonisation.
With most cookware it's pretty obvious where the coils are when trying to simmer. With thinner stuff like carbon steel the hot spots can be pretty nasty: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pifD__DIxGU
The US (in 2021) used 827 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year and produced 934. The amount it's expected to send to Europe (45 billion cubic meters) amounts to under 5% of its own production which has been increasing every year. Most of that hasn't even been sent yet so the percentage up to now is even smaller.

So yeah this was never about the US selling natural gas to Europe.
What a pathetic comment.

My gut reaction to "I started sobbing" was "man, that's rough, I feel bad for them". No further assumption about their gender.

Seems to me that you're projecting your thoughts on gender on her.
This is because companies buy long term contracts, which are still priced higher than the spot price on the, IMO reasonable, assumption that gas prices will rise again next year as the war continues (and Russia has more options to escalate e.g. cutting TurkStream).
tiktok has 1 billion monthly active users. whatsapp is at 2 billion monthly.
Trying to spring the GPL on people because they dare to try and understand how their wifi card works is not, in my opinion, a reasonable nor appropriate use of copy-left. Copyright is for derived works, not technical knowledge (i.e. specifications) but when you vendors refuse to provide documentation and only code, they force everyone into this weird position of creating a pseudo-derived work if they dare to (or can even be accused of having!) come near the Linux kernel source. If vendors provided a simple PDF everyone would be happier because now anyone can write the driver free and clear to the best of their ability.
A bit flip at the most significant bit is a one cycle 22.05kHz pulse - so yes you almost certainly wouldn't hear it even if the speaker could reproduce it.
No sources? You have to take anything to do with Elon’s Twitter takeover with a grain of salt because journalists have an axe to grind now the status symbol (that we’re now finding out was sold at $15k per verification at times by staff under the table) is open to everyone.
A cert issue like this is pretty trivial..... concerning if they have nobody who knows how to fix it.

>The Biden administration has bigger fish to fry and wouldn’t risk such an intervention in Swedish waters just as Sweden is joining NATO.

This is a pretty naive perspective - Since when has Sweden ever stood up to the crimes and misdeeds of the USA? Sweden ranks up there with Australia in the "lackey-state underdog to the USA" rankings ..
"To be fair", it always has been. For years there's been instances of verified accounts changing their name to someone else "as a bit" and getting hit with the ban hammer.

It's always been kind of wild that verified users can just change their username and keep the tick (of course, goes against the whole seasonal name thing twitter enjoys...)
i'm addicted to surfing since 6 years ago, i surfed 2-3 times a week, thanks for remote working, it allows me to move from metropolitan city to the island that have many world class waves

this activity also cure my backpain & shoulder pain, sitting down on my surfboard in the ocean also somehow calm me, it makes me think clearly when i'm struggling with my work (bug fixing), often i'm be able to solve a bug not in front of laptop but at the ocean (solutions popped out randomly from my head while i stared at the sea)
Up in the Italian Alps too.
During July/August there has been water rationing for agriculture, and reservoirs for artificial snow during the winter are now empty.
I know from a first hand source, aka the person experiencing it, that in extreme cases that is what you can get. The person in question was laid off from a small company making test equipment for chip makers during one of the usual down turns. Only for the down turn to be much less steep than expected. So happily took his 6 months of paid leave plus severance pay, only to be hired back 3 months in his garden leave for 30% more base pay, keeping his package and being fully reimbursed for the 3 months off he didn't enjoy. And he was not the only one, some of the older people insisted in part time consultant jobs paying more than their previous employment until their retirement, and they got it.

In the case of Twitter, I'd definitely take the Ronin approach so. Plus health care coverage.
One article called him not so kindly Elon's henchman - what experience did he bring to the table except being a podcaster ??? :).
It's the ideal cooker for me. I take shower only once per week and most of my gas cost went to cooking. It will save ~75% of by gas meter reading (but only ~15% on my gas bill though).
Unlike oil, LNG boils off while sitting off the coast, so this is not a long term strategy.
Getting laid off with 90 days pay is hardly the worst thing. I don’t really understand why people are upset.

I have empathy for those laid off. I’ve been through it. It’s sucks.

But going through something that sucks isn’t automatically a reason to invoke widespread legislation change.
I think the truth is the vast majority of people don't care much about their browser anymore. They are pretty much all good enough.

There is only one reason why chrome got so much market share: because they put an ad on the Google homepage "Try a faster browser!". The marketing was bullshit (bloated websites don't load any faster in Chrome than in other browsers), but it worked.

If any other company advertised their browser so heavily, they would be the leading browser maker today. But noone else can put ads on every load of the Google homepage.
How much did he pay them to get them to say those things? He's clearly overmatched currently.
Not sure I would bet on the pipeline from Norway remaining secure. They have increased their level of military alert for a reason.
Elites Will Create a New Class of Slaves – Whitney Webb

Pseudo-random scrambling is used in places like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64b/66b_encoding to reduce the chances of many consecutive 0s or 1s which could cause clock desynchronization between the sender and receiver.
OPEC at Risk from 50 Euro Lawsuit by German Economist

Unfortunately applying both Poly and Code gives you an imperfect result: the default l glyph has a flat base, Poly makes it narrower, and Code makes it a curly tail, but enable both (e.g. font-feature-settings: "ss01", "ss02") and you get the Poly glyph rather than the Code glyph or a hybrid, both of which would be nicer, and MB has said “won’t fix” (and I haven’t gone to the trouble of patching it myself).

A demo of my own of Triplicate with use of both Poly and Code: https://chrismorgan.info/blog/rust-fizzbuzz/, code is all Poly + Code, compiler errors are just Code (it uses columnar alignment, so not Poly). The lowercase l can be seen in all the figures in one form or another (e.g. “else” in bold, “result” in regular, but not “println!” because italics always uses a curly-tailed l).
That's not a problem, that's literally the feature. If you don't like it, fork it or move. Can't do that with Twitter.

The problem (at least as far as Mastodon goes) is managing identity between instances. Also, clients still seem to be stuck at the "written by programmers for programmers" state of design, so UX isn't up to par to what a normal user might expect much of the time. The decentralized, federated nature of Mastodon is a big deal to programmers and people who care about censorship resistance/software freedom, etc, but all of that should be completely transparent to the end user. It should be as easy to find, join and leave instances - with a single, common identity - as it is to find and join subreddits.
"With the destruction of the Nordstream pipelines"

They are not destroyed. There are 4 pipes in total and 1 pipe of NS2 is intact. Most likely Russia destroyed the other pipes to get NS2 working (you want gas? Need to certify NS2 and we won't pay contract penalties, because this is not our fault)

Resources blackmail didn't work, hence nuclear threats and mobilisation.
There are still a few people who use third party clients. I personally Twitter's found iOS app to be annoying (I forget in what specific way) so ages ago I switched to Tweetbot. That said, I really don't think what got Ethan banned was a concern over accessibility.
Missed the opportunity to call it Gogol :)
In Sweden (and I think most of EU?) we have 3 different kinds of electric two wheelers:

Bikes which you described with 25kph/250W limit

Class 2 moped: 25kph/1kW - traffic insurance, license

Class 1 moped: 45kph/4kW - traffic insurance, license plate, license
It has a motor and pedals. Isn't that exactly what a moped is?

edit Apparently some jurisdictions around the world use the term "moped" to refer to small motorcycles even when they don't have pedals: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moped
That would be full circle. I remember back then when Jabber was popular, most competitors offered gateways (similar to the IRC-Slack gateway Slack closed recently) so that people who used the popular open protocol would help spreading their closed variant. After a few years they would shut it down. But people never learn and I think the history would soon repeat itself.
Well, Twitter obviously did :-)
Wireguard has kernel support now. It was originally a botched implementation that almost made it into the kernel but it was rescued by Jason Donenfeld himself at the last minute.

But in the end the rewrite was better for everyone. Ars has a good writeup: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/03/buffer-overruns-lice...

As far as I know it's been merged back into the mainline kernel now.
Trivial in a small, no-nonsense company, probably absolutely non-trivial in a place like Twitter, where I expect they have a custom, byzantine devops/config management solution in place.
Can anyone tell me what happens if an instance is blocked by another instance?

Say I'm on a big instance, mastodon.social for example. And I follow someone who is self-hosting a single user instance. But they say something that some people don't like and my instance is not federating them with anymore. They are blocked. What happens? I won't be able to see their posts? Do I have to move to another instance which still didn't block them?

-----

I'm thinking about this for a while but I feel the whole network will have a peer pressure to avoid guilt by association which I'm not sure is a good thing
This shouldn't be downvoted, it's true (see [0]) and does undermine any claim that ethan's banning was out of a concern for the visually impaired.

You're confusing your freedom to say what you want as a requirement for others to listen and accept your content on their servers.

Anyone is free to post whatever their server's policy allows. Every server is free to enforce their written or unwritten policy. If your type of content does not align with a server, you need to find a different server. Depending on your content ideas, you might need to host your own.

No server is required to accept posts from any specific server. There are/will be servers that are isolated islands of content that no other servers want to interact with. This isolation is freedom respecting.
Show HN: Multilingual Salary Calculator for Germany
Many people from a migrant background have difficulty understanding the German income tax system. Therefore, as a side project, I have created a multilingual gross-net-salary calculator for Germany. With this side project, my main goals are:

1. to create an intuitive method for non-German speakers to easily understand how and what is deducted from their gross salary in Germany,

2. to translate the calculator into Eastern and Central European languages (as they represent one of the largest groups of migrant workers in Germany) to make it easier for them to understand the German income tax system,

3. make it mobile-friendly so that anyone with only a mobile phone can easily use it.

I am currently working on translations into Russian and Farsi (based on the requests from several organisations who are working with refugees in Germany), with other languages to follow.

The website is already available in the following languages:
Arabic,
English,
German,
Hungarian,
Romanian,
Ukrainian.

What do you think about design? Is it intuitive or does it need some improvement? All feedback is welcome.
They would and already do against all kinds of light pollution (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_pollution)

I think it is doubtful whether it would help in today’s climate, though (“why would these elitist scientists have the sole right to decide what we can do?”)
Which resources are over consumed and by how much? The article does not say.
I had a similar response and it led to a some self reflection:

At first I thought the sobbing line was hyperbole, then I thought "why would someone admit that?" then I saw the author had a feminine first name and thought "why is it OK for a woman to admit to crying about this?" then I thought "why would a man not admit to crying about this?" then I remembered that I'm emotionally stunted and society still thinks it is acceptable to demonise men who have emotions.
If the climate changes too quickly before nature can adapt, we can kiss a lot of the animals and plants we like goodbye as well. And then we can kiss a lot of ourselves goodbye as well. Some people handwave and say things will adapt, but then they also reflexively underestimate the complexity of vast systems, and generally, are not to be trusted.

Climate aside, the ocean is also full of plastic. There's microplastics in every sacred, hidden place on this planet now. That was also a gargantuan own-goal and we should definitely eliminate the vast majority of disposable plastics from consumer and industrial applications.
