a workaround to get the latest and greatest podman on debian/ubuntu is to use opensuse's kubic repo - it's even mentioned on the podman installation page [0]. but they don't recommend it for production use (though i haven't noticed any issues so far on ubuntu 22.04 and 22.10).

something about "creating" projects using hacked-together APIs then selling the (seemingly never original) result as if it has any real worth makes me genuinely upset.

From experience. Keep trying a lot of things, and keep introspecting and reflecting on things which have gone well, where interesting and felt less like work or effort; but where rather fun and enjoyable. Over time, you'll get a taste of what is purposeful, and then you keep going that way, while continuing to introspect and reflect.
Besides being GitHub-exclusive, the bigger issue IMO is that this only works online. GitHub is not my file browser: I don't want to constantly load webpages to see a repo's content surrounded by GitHub's UI. I'd rather download the repo and browse code in IntelliJ or neovim. It's not just me, there's a big reason Markdown is the dominant README format and readable text is the dominant code format.

Now if they add the extra README details and file metadata that are stored in the files themselves, then this is a great idea. Although that also means it's essentially an open-standard and competitors like GitLab and SourceHut can adopt the features.

Also, a major reason for Git as a VCS is being able to store and distribute copies. Otherwise, why use commits at all? Why not just store all data in the cloud and turn every file into a Google Doc? That's actually not a terrible solution and I can see someone like GitHub adopting it - but it's not Git.
This is incredible work and a tremendous achievement. Bravo and thanks for sharing.

It recently got 1.0 version.

But before that it was already really popular, there are tons of YouTube videos with people describing how they use it, houdreds of opensource plugins, people even sell paid courses about it. It's amazing to me how popular it got is such a short time.

So I was actually quite surprised how little before v1.0 it appeared on HN, especially when most of plugins are on github and have many stars, so clearly developers were using it.

For me this is the first "notes" app that I enjoy using. I can totally recommend it. Before it was just a text file or OneNote (for which i found some migration tool to Obsidian) . To me Obsidian still has many annoying isuues but much more advantages, and I see it's only improving with each version.

Maybe it's useful in small towns with low buildings and low street crime. In my neighborhood, tall buildings shade the streets for much of the day, and I wouldn't like to store my car outside anyway due to the property crime. There are also a lot of trees, which are quite nice but would frustrate anybody with a solar car.

So mass adoption of solar cars would discourage tall buildings and tree-lined streets.

What is confusing about Zelle?

This is BoA’s page on Zelle, and it seems very clear to me:

https://www.bankofamerica.com/online-banking/mobile-and-onli...

Wells Fargo’s is similar.

Wells Fargo FAQ:

> What protections do I have when I use Zelle®?

>You are protected in the unlikely event an unauthorized user accesses your consumer accounts and initiates payments using Wells Fargo Online or Wells Fargo Mobile.

>However, because Zelle® is intended to replace instances where cash and checks are being exchanged, you do not have the same protections associated with a credit card or a debit card transaction, such as the ability to dispute purchase transactions. Once you send money with Zelle®, you cannot cancel the payment if your recipient has already enrolled. Neither Wells Fargo nor Zelle® offers a protection program for any authorized payments made with Zelle® – for example, if you do not receive the item you paid for or the item is not as described or as you expected.

>We recommend you only send money to known and trusted recipients when using Zelle®.

There is no reason to be sure BTC will stabilize on anything even close to it's current value. The volatility represents this. It says the vast majority of speculators do not trust the current value to remain.

Even if you fully believe crypto is the future, it's very hard to convincingly explain why BTC is the future and not one of the other coins which implement more features. Someone 20 years ago could have been right about the internet being the future but picked the wrong companies that would win.

I watched the hearing a while back and honestly don’t get the fuss Warren in making in this specific scenario.

She calls out scenarios where people willingly sent money to someone over Zelle themselves. This wasn’t a compromised account; it was people being conned by other individuals (think Nigerian Prince). Why should Zelle be on the hook for someone being stupid? They did exactly their job.

How is it a pyramid scheme?
> I'm sure the price will get more or less stable at some point in the future.

I’m not. Most of the demand for crypto is only because it is going up. If it stops going up then speculators will look at alternatives, and it crash again.

Once it’s low enough that small gains represent a higher rate of return then investors will return and the cycle begins again.

This sawtooth pattern is probably inevitable, and will probably continue indefinitely.

In maintaining the value and legitimacy of a currency, civilian law enforcement matters far more than the military (at least for developed countries that have stable governments). Even if I earn income denominated in Euros, Bitcoin, gold, or some other store of value I have to obtain a certain number of US dollars to pay my income taxes. If I fail to pay for long enough then eventually the IRS will get a court order to seize my assets, and armed federal agents will carry out the order. The military doesn't enter into it.

I have no idea if this is a frank and earnest assessment or baseless hyperbole, how many times has the price of bitcoin moved >=12% in 24 hours? Has it ever moved 80% in one day?

edit: What I want to run an analysis of the actual data but I did the "next best thing" which is googleing around and reading arbitrary articles, and what I've found is

-22% on 15 January 2015

+28% on a single unspecified day in July 2017

+~25% on 7 December 2017

+~20% on 1st April 2019

I'm sure I've missed some, and there are other, possibly more dramatic spikes and crashes, that happen over longer periods, but this is enough for me to say that a 12% swing in one day is newsworthy, but not frontpage newsworthy
I thought it was a typo in the submission, but no, this is another article indeed on CXL x OpenCAPI. There was a great article on similar-but-different tech mashing up CXL and Gen-Z last week[1]! This article quickly acknowledges that last article right at the start, mercifully, letting me know I'm not crazy.

For reference, OpenCAPI here used a PCIe PHY (like CXL). Gen-Z PHY 1.0 could work over PCIe 4.0 or IEEE802.3bj (100Gbe, 25.78Gbps lanes), giving it far far broader physical reach.

It is fairly remarkable how limited CXL has been, at least until 3.0, which starts to grow many of these capabilities such as around shared memory, around switched fabric. That folk already had a start on one of these alternatives & have not wanted to give up all the amazing capabilities to get on the CXL bandwagon is unsurprising & cool to see. It's definitely one of the semi-rare genuinely-exciting fronts for computing hardware, that's not all just big huge players but is an open & exciting field.

If I own a house in the clear and make a private transaction to trade my house for someone else's boat, I still own capital gains on the difference between what I bought the house for and what the boat is valued at. So if I bought the house for $250k and I wind up with a boat valued at $1M then I owe taxes on $750k in capital gains.

There's no "if it doesn't touch USD it doesn't trigger taxes" law because that would be instantly gamed and exploited.
Selenium IDE does, although it is much easier to do in Playwright IMO. I think there is honestly no contest now between selenium and playwright for most needs; I wouldn't ever go back to Selenium. If you are starting a brand new project today in Selenium, I honestly think that is foolish given the better alternatives now out there. Selenium was a great project, but it is strangled by its own success - very hard to meaningfully redesign its API now so much of it is in legacy projects who will want to update their dependencies one day.

However, regardless of the tech used, recording playback of HTML manipulation is pretty brittle - if you think adopting playwright because it has a record feature will save any kind of time/effort/money, you are in for a surprise. This is a feature everyone tries once and goes "wow, neat!" and then quickly realizes none of the suggested code is production ready, or even likely to work on a 2nd run for anything other than the most basic of static sites.
Some fraud is a cost of instant payment infra. It must be built into the P&L of the system, with robust controls to prevent what can be prevented. Security and convenience must intersect, it’s just a matter of sussing out that point.
> Lets say you borrowed 1BTC from FTX exchange so that you can short BTC. Congrats, you're correct! You're technically worth a lot more US-dollars now.

> You go to FTX, and it stopped existing today. So you don't get your money.

What? That's not how shorting works. If you borrow 1BTC from FTX so that you can short BTC, you then actually perform the short by selling the 1BTC to some other party. Now you have two things: (1) cash; and (2) an obligation denominated in bitcoin. That is what it means to be short.

As soon as FTX stops existing, that's great for you, because it means you don't need to give them their 1BTC back. You got your money a long time ago.
Ask HN: Could someone with a Gmail account file a Chromium bug report for me?
I've discovered a bug in Chromium. Filing a bug on the Chromium bugzilla requires a GMail account. I don't have one. While trying to set up a burner account, Google asked me for a phone number. That's a step too far for me. Chromium bugzilla must be the only bugzilla which requires reporters to give their phone numbers.

So if someone already has a GMail account, could they report the bug for me? Thanks.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Write the following four files under a single directory:

1.html:

<script>
window.onkeyup = function(event) {
if (event.keyCode == 27) {
window.location = "esc.html"
}
if (event.keyCode == 39) {
window.location = "2.html"
}
}
</script>
1

2.html:

<script>
window.onkeyup = function(event) {
if (event.keyCode == 27) {
window.location = "esc.html"
}
if (event.keyCode == 39) {
window.location = "3.html"
}
}
</script>
2

3.html:

<script>
window.onkeyup = function(event) {
if (event.keyCode == 27) {
window.location = "esc.html"
}
}
</script>
3

esc.html:

esc

2. Run python -m http.server in that directory.

3. In Chromium go to <http://[::]:8000/1.html>

4. See that the page displays "1".

5. Press the right arrow.

6. See that the page displays "2".

7. Press the right arrow.

8. See that the page displays "3".

9. Press Escape.

10. See that the page displays "esc".

11. Click the browser Back button.

Expected result: we're back at <http://[::]:8000/3.html> and the page displays "3".

Actual result: we're back at <http://[::]:8000/2.html> and the page displays "2".

Results in different browsers:

Chrome, Edge: bug is reproduced.

Firefox, Safari: bug is NOT reproduced. Everything works as expected.

Note that redirections triggered by arrow keys do not trigger the bug. Only the redirection triggered by the Escape key triggers the bug.

Link to file the bug: <https://crbug.com/new>
What good is a "stablecoin" if the exchange can simply halt withdrawals? If the answer is that they need to be kept in air gapped hardware wallets like all other crypto, then how do you convert from USDT/C to USD? Assuming you can't find someone off exchange to buy it from you.

To be fair, many of the big companies (at least Amazon, Meta, Twitter) have gotten front-page articles about their losses with people laying into them.
>1. Is that actually what happened?

Yes, this is our best guess based on all current facts.

https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-11-09/bankma...

"The problem is that FTX took its customers’ money and traded it for a pile of magic beans, and now the beans are worthless and there’s a huge hole in the balance sheet."

>2. If the answer to #1 is yes, why does this still keep happening? We're in 2022, how many times has this played out, already?

This is a common occurrence during bear markets. The non-US crypto exchanges are (self|minimally|un)regulated. FTX is the biggest blow-up, and surprised many experienced people.

As Warren Buffet says:
“It's only when the tide goes out that you learn who's been swimming naked.”

It's also rumored that FTX/Alameda were hit hard by the LUNA/Terra collapse early this year. They may have tried to cover it by manipulating the tokens they control, and trading with customer deposits.

It's not unique to crypto. LME (London Metals Exchange) had an issue this year with someone short nickel that didn't want to payout. Also, Archegos capital ran up much more leverage than they should, which resulted in loses at several prime brokers. This was due to the brokers not margin calling them sooner. Credit Suisse had to close their broker services unit afterwards.
> Cypress lumped in and dismissed like that

I think Cypress is really cool when you're on their happy path - testing on Chromium browsers and in JavaScript.

I tried it some time ago so maybe this might be outdated, but they had little support for browsers other than Chromium or even rather Electron based and also it was a little difficult to wire up with Gherkin scenarios.

Keep in mind that the OP refers to Python tools, AFAIK Cypress does not offer Python bindings while both Selenium and Playwright do.
For those of you who are as confused as I am about Playwright's growth over Selenium: https://star-history.com/#microsoft/playwright&SeleniumHQ/se...

My company uses Selenium for some of our projects, but I evaluated the browser automation space some time ago and found that it was the best-in-class solution at that time.

It looks like things have since changed.

Maybe start with a values sorting activity and go from there. No one else can identify your purpose but you. And in truth, purpose is often chosen. Don’t be afraid to try a few on, and keep trying until you find something that works for you, helps you be your best self, and is consistent with your values.

There are fun, well-designs versions on Amazon, but you can always just print or write your own cards for the activity. https://casaa.unm.edu/inst/Personal%20Values%20Card%20Sort.p...

Most of the values sound good on paper, so it is helpful to set a limit to force you to prioritize.
And unlike those things, Bitcoin cannot be confiscated by the government, specially third world tyrannical governments that seem to always be trying their hardest to impoverish and screw those under their administration.

It sounds like he took a controversial opinion during a time of great fear and death, and wasn’t fired or in any way censored by his workplace. He continued to enjoy substantial access to politicians and the press, and someone wrote and stuck up a mean poster about him (which he describes as a physical threat, but doesn’t seem to have actually been according to the description.) Academic freedom means the right to say unpopular things without losing your job. If you want to see what the opposite of that is, take a look at the McCarthy era or some of the professors who lost their jobs for saying unpopular things about US allies.
