Hi, I could not check the code (teams restricted) but I agree that
https://www.w3.org/TR/html-json-forms/ was the only decent proposal to resolve <form>-JSON. Initially, I wanted to use same approach but parsing strings for deeply nested structures was not elegant to say the least. I hope that in near future we will have something standardized. Cheers.

> Can you impersonate someone as a joke? No. Parody is not identity theft.

Can you point to case law that makes this clear? Intent highly matters and I don't see anyone facing legal repercussions for impersonating someone for comic intent or even politically motivated intentions. Not to mention, Twitter already has a mechanism identifying verified accounts, doesn't it?

> Making a hyper-realistic deep fake video of a politician saying absurd stuff is not free speech without appropriate labelling.

Lying is mostly not against the law and is covered under free speech. In fact in 2012 the Supreme Court ruled that lying can be Constitutionally protected under free speech. [1] Whether or not such video would be ethically wrong is another matter. But I think you are wrong is in saying it is not free speech.

That's true.

Do you see there being any alternative option (not sure if Berner's Lee Solid can play a part here)?

A company called Velocity Labs has done a private blockchain where third parties issue credentials on a 'Career Wallet', but it's more on verification of employment, courses and such.

If you think about it, current solutions (including Linkedin's recommendations) are the same thing, just centralized.

There must be a way to change that.
Ah yes. I remember a long time ago I had corrected some out-of-tree Linux driver to support a newer Linux release and sent the changes to the ML, only to be chastised for not posting properly formatted patches... Mmh... OK?
The addition of discussion sections for repos has been really great for this. On a lot of larger projects there's appreciation threads. But any project with thousands of downloads is obviously useful enough to warrant a quick thanks
> But just throwing your trillion dollar weight around...

Let's not forget that competition here is also 100B$ corporations, not some indie shops.

And does this really starve out the competition? I don't think Microsoft is going to starve PC gaming market or even Steam on Linux/Steam Deck. Nintendo does not depend on any Activision titles at all. Sony, well, they may take a hit. But if your business depends so much on a few franchises you don't own, well, tough luck.

Does Mastodon have less moderation than any other social media platform? Not looked into it deeply, so please let me know. From what I understand the instance/server owners are in charge of moderations, and a users network is a network of users from various servers.

Will Mastodon allow parody and scam accounts? Or is it on a server by server basis? Does each server have different published TOS? There used to be Christian counterstrike games servers, would there be the equivalent mastodon servers?

I guess its still in early adopters with wide eyes on best behaviour at the moment. Has it been built with the lessons learnt about moderation that Twitter has shown when celebrities like Opra bring in regular people into the system?
How is hacker news and likes of reddit or even slashdot not a social media. In some ways reddit is much worse (echo chamber) than twitter.
No, people deserve respect in the absence of behavior that earns disrespect.
You can browse the local timeline from the web interface, which is one way. Assuming you've joined an interest where people who have similar interests hang out that's a good discovery mechanism.

Then there's cross-instance #hastag searches which can be used to find things.
> "Also, it was hard for me to convey this, but the snarkiness of the tweets really made it so much worse. I wish I could explain why."

That's why any halfway decent person online will stick to criticizing ideas, concepts, particular constructions, etc. and make it clear they're suggesting how to improve the project rather than just launching a personal attack on an individual.

There are cases where a particular pattern of behavior by an individual over time can be legitimately criticized or held up as an example of how not to behave, but that's something of an extraordinary situation, most people are pretty decent to others.

I think this might be important to mention

Most of the world indeed does not live in the US or Europe
I literally know someone who believes global warming is a hoax to cover up the fact that "they" control the weather. That belief is so entrenched that this is more like passive confirmation of an obvious fact than an evidentiary bombshell.
I think this is kind of flipped around. On some level the difference between bot and troll is irrelevant, because I care about account behavior. Just like how at some level it is irrelevant whether the behavior is intentional or born of ignorance. Moderation is there to control behavior and content, not to control people.

The primary thing people on HN don't understand about Twitter is the personalized feed. On HN, if someone makes low-quality posts, everyone sees it until it gets downvoted into oblivion. On Twitter, if someone's making posts you don't want to see, you block or mute the account and see less of it.

What makes a post "low-quality" is inherently subjective, but HN doesn't offer any personalization. I'd characterize HN's approach as being like a little Puritan village in the 17th century, where community members get together to decide someone's fate. Twitter is like a modern city... if you don't like the neighborhood, go somewhere else. Yes, there are trolls on Twitter. But you don't have to see them on your feed. The impact of an individual troll account on Twitter is much lower than the impact of an individual troll account on HN.

My general feeling is that very few people actually understand how community management works, even in broad strokes. Certainly not me. As a result, behavior which might be a red flag on one forum may just be part of the ecosystem in another forum.

Show HN: I wrote an eBook on Linux CLI tools and Shell Scripting
Hello!

This ebook aims to teach Linux command line tools and Shell Scripting for beginner to intermediate level users. The main focus is towards managing your files and performing text processing tasks. Includes plenty of examples, exercises (200+) and solutions.

To celebrate my latest ebook release, you can download PDF/EPUB versions of Computing from the Command Line for FREE till 08-Nov-2022: https://learnbyexample.gumroad.com/l/cli_computing (the web version linked as the post url is always free)

Visit https://github.com/learnbyexample/cli-computing for markdown source, example files, exercise solutions, sample chapters and other details related to the book.

I would highly appreciate if you'd let me know how you felt about this book. It could be anything from a simple thank you, Gumroad rating, pointing out a typo, mistakes in code snippets, which aspects of the book worked for you (or didn't!) and so on. Reader feedback is essential and especially so for self-published authors.

Happy learning :)
> Is my ride 100% in segregated bike lane: no need for helmet unless you want to be extra safe.

The security of helmets is largely linked to the speed the cyclist bikes at. Lane segregation has little to do with it - on busy cyclist lanes in London, where people go at insane speeds, you really want to have a helmet.
As corrupt and greedy as FIFA is, it's no wonder the Qataris have been monitoring their investments in secret.

There are some sane alternatives.

You can keep to mostly text, but give the editor more leeway in how to lay it out and make the code's structure more visible.

Some really simple options, that you might not even recognise as going beyond text: folding of block and go-to-definition.
How exactly will that happen? Most Western governments are happy to import immigrants after their own populace wakes up to their bullshit and stops tolerating it. Many immigrants don't mind working for 20% of what a local would work.

Parody is usually identifiable by its content, not because someone has to put a big "[WARNING: PARODY]" tag at the top.
> If it was, then surely it would be something like @mastodon@github.com or @official@github.com?

How would you even run Mastodon on a domain that is also expected to be an actual website? AFAIK it doesn't even have a DNS record to point it at a different address.

Edit: Apparently the answer is "Webfinger". https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/webfinger/
but is there a list of lists of such lists?
I've been riding long enough to have ended up on the bonnet of two cars, and I've rapped my helmet against the ground once. Encourage anyone to wear them.

The reason I've never had a serious concussion, broken wrist, etc. has nothing to do with protective equipment, however. It's entirely fall training, from Aikido as a preteen, then Judo as an adult.

BJJ is another way to learn this but I'm serious: this is the one thing which is the most likely to downgrade an accident from dire to serious, or serious to okay. Helmets can keep your skull from cracking, but they do very little to prevent the brain from shaking around, what does, is tucking your chin.
Some of the more dependable options for affordable servers, in my experience:

- https://contabo.com/en/vps/ (they used to have a reputation for overprovisioning, but stable service)
- https://www.hetzner.com/cloud (they asked me for my ID photos for verification, but otherwise one of the better options)
- https://www.time4vps.com/?affid=5294 (affiliate link, I use them currently for all of my long term hosting)

Another commenter suggested lowendbox, which is a good option for scoping out offers, but sometimes companies just take the money and run off (as happened to me once personally), generally look at whether the company that you want to become a client of has been around for a while and hasn't recently changed hands.

You've characterized this as "impersonation" in order to exclude the possibility of parody, it's merely sophistry. This is a view of parody that falls apart when you look at actual parody. There have been many times I've been absentmindedly reading an article, been incredulous, and then realize it was from The Onion.
That's what must have happened to me. I think one of them was called "stereophonic" (or similar) and the other one some weird Belgian with German like "absturztau.be", both were boring but the latter was worse. The third one I don't remember. They had nice descriptions, though, which didn't really match the content. I might give it another try with the biggest US main server, though it's probably not for me anyway since I can't stand Twitter's format either.

European here that doesn't drink tea yet still has a kettle.

> they won't say "because I only have 120V outlets in the kitchen." They'll say it is because they don't need a kettle.

Well no they wouldn't say that, unless they have experience of 240v perhaps.

They might reasonably say that it's too slow. Or maybe they're aware that kettles are 'just slow' and so arrange their lives so that they don't need a kettle, in which case they would say "I don't need a kettle".

There's a PR hopefully landing soon in nixpkgs to add freebsd building: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/82131

I was wondering if there's a builder at some point, it may improve the compatibility for the whole ecosystem. There's definitely a lot of fixes going upstream from darwin build failures.
In what way is the 13 Pro better? Curious.
So you'd be happy if people created social network profiles pretending to be you and posting whatever they want people to believe you said because of free speech? Sounds pretty weird, are you sure you don't have a law against such abuse?

6th gen mini consoles seem unlikely for a variety of reasons.

There's the more powerful hardware needed, which will push the price up, along with the more complex controllers, which basically won't be any cheaper to make now than they were at launch.

Then there's storage. If people are expecting 30-60 games, and all of those games are a gig each, you're probably going to need a 64GB micro SD card, which is another increase to the BoM bill. The PS Classic probably avoided putting too many multi-disc games and analogue sticks for this reason, but you can't ignore this in the 6th gen.

The big killer is going to be licensing costs though. 5th gen and earlier games generate basically no revenue. Even the more popular ones only sell for $5-$10 when they're rereleased, and most don't sell at all. By the 6th gen though, the basic level of graphical fidelity is high enough that "HD Remasters" are now a thing that you can sell for $30 each, or maybe $60 as a trilogy and can be produced for very little upfront investment. This makes convincing rightsholders to license inclusion of a game for probably $1 per unit a hard sell, as for most of them, that's severely undercutting themselves with the same target audience.
Wow, that's almost delusional. It's like you don't understand what drought is, or haven't looked at any of the predictions about heat waves, the mass extinction events, the extreme weather, the fires...

This is a new level of madness from the fight against the fight against climate change.

Don't look up, my friend.
Imho this is the problem behind the mental health crisis for men.

> If you haven't learned to deal with mocking in other ways than sobbing I'd argue you haven't really grown up.

Communicating your emotions about something purely for what they are takes courage and is the most important thing an adult can learn. You obviously can't expect that others respect your emotions or that you are entitled to anything at all, but purely communicating them goes a long way.

"Growing up" also is a very weird concept. You have no idea as to why the blog post author sobbed or if this was even just used as a rhetorical device. Are you only grown up after you got your mental health in order? If so, that gives an average of 50+ for some people, and never for most.

1. I have some university math education and it definitely helps.

2. Grit and consistency is needed when working on difficult projects i.e. the ones you learn the most from.

3. Usually difficult project are difficult because there are several constraints (e.g. business, tech, domain). So my first years in the industry helped me a lot.

An important factor that allows all of the above is having fun and being passionate about your work.
As a Brit, accustomed to cars having an annual MOT which includes testing safety features such as brakes, suspension, tyre treads, not having missing mirrors, permanently broken lights etc, it was a "revelation" to find that in the US I could drive a 16-yr-old car and all that got tested was emissions. Maybe this has improved nowadays? When people have giant SUVs/pickups, that get old, and don't have the brakes checked, no surprise road safety is an issue....
For YOU, sure.

For the people getting rich, it’s working perfectly and nothing is going to change.
I think your first sentence kind of sums things up here.

That isn’t the case for many others especially those who aren’t JUST in the tech ecosystem.
> Where's the energy loss from the kettle that's not present in your proposed method?

You're not heating the water directly, you're heating it through a piece of metal. The wasted energy is heating that piece of metal up to more than 100 deg C. A surprising amount of energy lost there.

If you use the induction hob you're only heating the metal that you actually need to heat to do the cooking.

For us in northern climates, none of this energy is really wasted during winter. But many of us now have heat pumps, which are more efficient than resistive heating.
It’s a good question. Does activitypub something like mx lookups or does it rely only on A/AAAA?

I want to run an AP server on my own domain so I can post from me@mydomain.tld but I want to retain my normal static homepage on my domain.tld…
To add: I find the "Twitter makes it hard" remarks a total cop-out in this instance. One is responsible for ones conduct whether it's via Twitter, in person, or a series of smoke signals. Am I supposed to believe that a character limit is in some way an excuse for being an arsehole? Those tweets lacked _any_ attempt at nuance so to respond by saying "oh it's hard to express myself accurately with only n characters and this time I came off as a prick" is just utterly ridiculous.

This is 100% the issue. When Mastodon started, it was like when IRC started -- one big server you could talk to just about everyone on. These days, it's like IRC was in 2000 or so -- many different servers you could talk to your small group on, but you'd end up joining a whole bunch of different servers to get your reach across, and unlike IRC, that really gets in the way of things like re-tooting and other broadcast issues.

It's not so much that it's a problem so much as that it makes it a poor choice for a Twitter replacement. Is Statusnet (a la identi.ca) still a thing?
> Most US cities that could benefit from urban planning and redesign are that way because they're densely packed car-centric areas.

I mean, in Europe we've largely repurposed medieval towns to car usage, with much worse constraints in terms of preservation of historical buildings. US cities can be much more radical and much more easily, if they really want to.
I think people who do this know what's coming. It achieves two things: it "burns their boats" on the way out of Twitter, quitting in the most irrevocable fashion, and points out the limitations of a pure free speech (except for exceptions decided by the supreme leader) approach.

> Most municipalities in industrialized countries regularly publish water quality tests and reports.

Well yes, that's why I mentioned reports in the first place.

> And industrial farming isn't the only way (literal) shit can contaminate your water supply.

Agreed. Don't drink water out of fresh looking mountain streams unless you want to risk being sick for weeks.

But the topic is tap water & bottled water. In rural areas in developed countries and where there is little risk of industrial farming contamination, there should be no hesitation in drinking the tap water as a visitor. If you live there, then of course get the water tested. Trusting any water long term without tests is a risk. And since lots of testing is either free or very cheap, there is no reason not to.
It's the short format : makes it so much less likely for an explanation, even a followup one.
