Not to be pedantic here but I think it matters. Shouldn't the question be "Can federated services survive Europe's Digital Services Act?"

I ask because federation is anything but new. IRC servers have been linked to one another for multiple decades with each server being managed by different groups of people or companies varying by the specific IRC network. Each server operator may implement their own rules provided they comply with the overall rules of the global federated network. Have IRC networks been left alone from scrutiny because their adoption by the mainstream consumers is low and thus making them a tiny target? If so I would expect that to change as more and more web front-ends to IRC become popular such as TheLounge and Convos that provide message persistence.

Will the DSA eventually cause platforms such as Mastodon to implement the same local and distributed roles that IRC has such as "ServerAdmin", "NetAdmin", "GlobalOperator", etc so that people can censor or manage each others user-base? [1] e.g. if Alice notices that Bob's Mastodon instance is hosting illegal material, rather than disconnecting from that node, Alice being a NetAdmin can ban that instance from the entire federated group or GZ-Line the user on Bob's instance from the entire federated group if it was just one abusive user and the Bob was in a long deep sleep. Bob gets cranky if he does not get a nap.

A subset of the same concepts also apply to Usenet groups. Each Usenet operator can choose to censor or simply not pull particular groups from the Usenet feeds and may decide to purge or censor some articles from their nodes, usually to comply with the laws of their country.

I think there are different apps that do this. Devonthink does and imports Evernote however many say it’s a bulky app that does a lot. I don’t feel that way but I like Devonthink.
What’s the point of that nitpick? You could also say that a 10cm panel gap would be very noticeable and inconvenient, but I think it’s very clear from the context that this is not a very relevant observation to the discussion at hand.

“They don’t matter” as in “the returns on decreasing the panel gap from the 1st percentile of panel gaps on the market to the 99th percentile are so small, spending energy on thinking about it is probably more expensive. It is a cosmetic issue.”
Same for me but with the SubSeven RAT.
Counting to three only works if you're willing and able to do whatever the thing is you said you would do to the child when they are misbehaving.

I think it's less that people see a slap on the wrist, and more that people see the systemic, wholesale capture and gutting of regulatory bodies and are not surprised that nothing substantive happens in this kind of case.

Off topic: Any suggestions for a Notion-like knowledge management app with decent handwriting support except OneNote?
I need handwriting in order to memorize and structured data (tables/boards/lists etc) in order to be efficient.

They need to do offline first with online sync, rather than online first. But they simply won't do it.
It would probably be difficult publish in a scientific journal if it was not aimed at other academics - and if it was not published in a scientific journal, the authors would not get citations
I am not a developer but I find it useful to just be able to use rsync and a few other tools I am used to from Mac and Linux. Same reason I install Homebrew on Mac.
The medical community is one of the most harmful forces for people with ADHD (I know it's not directly related to your comment but I always like to point this out)

Your doctor/psych can really be your worst enemy. They watch their patients suffer horrible outcomes and death, while they do nothing and say "not my problem", and constantly spewing bigotry against people with the condition.

I HAVE to use stress and anxiety to get my work done, and it's incredibly debilitating.
Where has Musk told the story?
Even if you don’t change the default manager, third party managers automatically appear as options for auto filling password fields.

I’m thinking that whichever keepass client OP was using (there are multiple on the App Store) didn’t actually take advantage of the password API.

Which ties into why I haven’t been able to switch to keepass: client quality is all over the place and even if you find one you like, there’s no telling when it’s going to go dark and if you’re lucky get forked.
>Particular in the corporate space, the problem of finding relevant knowledge

I'm eagerly waiting for the day that I don't get frustrated with Notion's search. I'm not sure if I actually even bother with the search that much these days. I just try to drill down the page structure to find what looks relevant.
If it's similar to my employer, we have requirements from our board to have specific software such as anti-malware and anti-ransomware, among other protections. The IT team can also better manage and support it.

And yes, I think it's a bit silly. But WSL has helped us comply with the business/security requirements while still using (IMO) better dev tools and workflows that Linux provides.
God no LMAO
Well there's also this thing called "roofs" and there is collectively a lot of them.

While the economic efficiency of massively distributing your solar collection across residential and commercial buildings is less than a grid scale, at the same time you get far more resilience with all the buildings having local energy generating capacity in disaster situations. It also alleviates the total amount of energy the grid needs to transport (especially for home/business charging of EV vehicles), so grid development/maintenance costs will stay sane.

Not that grid scale isn't important. Heat pumps, home geothermal, residential solar, grid solar, wind, battery storage, pumped hydro storage, and whatever else works will be necessary. Hopefully synthetic fuels / algae fuels / aluminum air batteries / next gen nuclear / grid geothermal can also all contribute.

He had 50 people invest tens of thousands each to build that scaffold.

He’s not a genius just well networked.

Idle idolatry of normal human beings with no effort to verify their real outputs creates an unfalsifiable truth Bezos is a lynchpin to reality.

Ooo oo I heard it through the grapevine, Bezos is not what you might call “divine”…

The rich did not invent science, engineering, and economic activity. Human behavior gives rise to those things organically. The rich are merely playing information awareness constraint games; a man named Farmer is a farmer, an engineer is an engineer, and there’s no reason to allow them agency to learn other things.

His value is rooted in traditions of political correctness to buy into that narrative, not immutable laws of nature.

Every worker faces the risk of their livelihood vanishing tomorrow. One slip of the tongue costing their job. Why are these guys insulated from the same?
I think some pages are missing?

My copy has a "Chapter 26 - Using machine code", and "Appendix A - The character set". The latter also lists all the Z80 opcodes, in both hex and decimal. Those were the really good parts of the book.
How many cycles do those batteries work with that efficiency? How environmentally friendly is mining Lithium in China and transporting it around the globe? How much CO₂ does the transport of those minerals/batteries produce? How do we get rid of old batteries? One huge advantage of producing hydrogen or methane out of thin air with excess energy from truly renewable energy sources is, that we don't have to procure and transport source materials, and that it can be stored.
The Pacific theatre was a whole other war fought simultaneously with the latter half of the other one.

The Soviets killed up to 15 million of their own before the war even started. (This number may be an overestimate because most locales had been required to overreport their own population over the past century, such that when an accurate census was conducted, the new number lacked both those killed and also the overreports.) How many million Ukrainians were deliberately starved before the war? 2 million? 4 million? (We may compare this to Churchill personally arranging to starve 3 million in and near what is now Bangladesh, around that time.)

Neither Germans nor Soviets saw any reason to bother feeding or sheltering their POWs. Soviet POWs were treated as deserters and sent to the GULag on their return, along with many thousands of Cossacks who had escaped well before the war, and were rounded up and sent back.

We need not doubt that there was a great deal of ineptitude in the Soviet officer corps, which had been mostly exterminated before the war and then repopulated according to purely political criteria. And, we need not doubt extreme disregard for the lives of conscripts, both Soviet and many, many others shanghaied from occupied territory.

None of this is to minimize the heroism of the people sent to fight against the Nazis, subject to attacks both from their own government and from a foreign invader. Fairly early in the war (1940?) the NKVD was ordered to abandon its quota of deserters to be shot from the rear for not advancing eagerly enough.
I'm having a hard time figuring out why everyone is up in arms—the guy wants to change the course of an openly-languishing product and thinks it should be more engineering-focused. if it were anyone else, or even if it was the same person saying it but a few years ago instead of today, I would think a statement like this would be lauded here.

what causes people to perceive this as "abuse", a "toxic environment", a "nightmare", rather than plain ol' leadership?

are we so far gone as a society that wanting to improve things through hard work is just a completely foreign concept to us now?

what the fuck happened in these past few years to make us this way?
There are some. One of my favourites is Terminal.Gui[0], but you have to be in the .NET world in order to use it.

I think Siri and Alexa are simply at the end of their roads. To move Siri and Alexa ahead, we'd need a general AI so powerful, it would change the whole world.

I wonder if, within my lifetime, it will be possible to tell a digital assistant to "order all the ingredients I need to bake the cinnamon buns as detailed in the cinnamon bun baking video I watched last month with the Chinese lady that doesn't have an accent"?
+1. I’ve been here almost 6 years and across 3 different teams. Never seen any of the horrors.
Seems like solutions for this already exist with Dependabot and the myriad of other tools for updating dependencies.
I don't think EA implies adherence to "rigid consequentialism". Like a lot of EA advocates are deeply into animal welfare for these reasons, but they offer advice to those that aren't. I think the weaker unifying argument is just that EA encourages more self-examination regarding whether one's charitable efforts are actually achieving one's values, and to provide advice to help achieve better alignment on this.
> the reels get expanded in to code and screenshot visual slides in the medium articles while at the same time making mp4 animation reels for instagram, linkedin, Fb posting.

Having trouble parsing this to understand what you mean. I have a feeling I am missing context. For example, what do you mean by "reels". Is this an analogy to film reels?
Are you sure that's actually true, all the way down to the method or line level?

I have several intranet applications that I need to port to another web framework because of this specific issue. I guess it servers me right for not choosing the most popular framework for my applications.
Agreed. I use a few filters which take seconds to update, sometimes disappearing and then redrawing on any change in the tables. And recently some of my filters and views have been changing, leading me to have to tweak and adjust some of my dashboard views, shaking my confidence.

The filters and relations are so powerful and I really love the flexibility: example, “show only tasks linked to projects with an active status.” But when they keep disappearing and redrawing, I just feel slowed down in the app lately.
He "paid" $44 billion to become the permanent main character of twitter.
I love projects like this because I learn about new materials or gadgets. I'm filing them away slowly in my mind hoping to put together an Ex-Word clone in the future. I didn't know you could order flexible PCB, and now I do. I thought the hinges were perfect, too, but now I realize that the SP hinges don't also act as a power switch. I just love that the Ex-Word would switch on and off automatically when you open and close it.
The past 5 years Google went downhill. If they lose the ability to search, users and ad revenue follow.
Here #2 is really the key, together with making sure that the exchange actually allows you to withdraw your money in a timely fashion (which not all of them do). Given that, even #1 is of marginal importance.
If you load that into a column store you’ll likely see that drop to 1TB or smaller.
On iPhone, Notes is excellent. In a browser on icloud.com it's terrible. I need it to work in a web browser because I do software development on Windows. Notes is not an option until the browser version works just as well as the mobile version. For now, I can use Notes for personal but not for work.
Why is economic recession equated with reducing inflation?

In the 90s Turkey had 100% YoY inflation despite a growing economy. After the fall of the Soviet Union many of the former Soviet republics had soaring inflation amidst crippling economic depression.
What you’re saying is:

> People keep using that word. I don’t think it means what they think it means.

And I agree.
If you don’t want collaborative editing, don’t use it. I’m saying most users wanted it and started looking elsewhere when EN couldn’t deliver. It’s easier to add a lock on collaboration than to backfill later.
Just because employees are ruthlessly stack ranked doesn’t mean they are working on impactful projects. Directors and especially VPs have a ton of autonomy on what their orgs pursue and are in the dark on some areas of their org, which further provides frontline and middle managers a lot of authority and it’s up to them to report up stacking within their remit and defend the positioning. So while stack ranking decisions are made, it’s not always “fair” and varies greatly across orgs. All managers regardless of level are fallible and do not always make perfect decisions on what to pursue so that adds another layer to effectiveness of employees even if they are doing the best they can at what they have been given. Cuts are at the org level based on value to the business.

Low performance can be gauged in many ways and what is a high performer in the context of a team or org may be a low performer if taking value to the overall business into account. Headcount allocations do not always reflect value (and that value varies greatly when comparing short term to long term).
> living in someone's spare room

Children living with their parents don't own houses, but they aren't homeless either. Or adults for that matter. For a few years in college I lived in a spare room in my grandparent's house. I had no house of my own, but I certainly felt welcome and wasn't homeless by any means.

Ask HN: How Many Left working/employed at Twitter?
After all the firings, people leaving due to Musk, etc, how many of the 7500 people are actually left working for Twitter? With all the stuff around going "hardcore" or going home, forcing people back to the office, etc, how many of the people who were not fired (let's assume 3750, given that's half the 7.5k) have left since? Ideas? Estimates?
Even with 5-day weeks lots of colleagues were running side projects. Honestly a 4-day a week job WFH I'd probably try to run two jobs at a time. I'm here to work and get paid, not have a good balance.
Sometimes I wonder if we're optimizing for the wrong things in the dependency management space: we used to have a distinction between "bleeding edge" and "stable" distribution schemes, with programmers (and users) picking the appropriate channel based on their stability and feature requires.

That seems to have been mostly discarded: we now assume that a development dependency is broken and needs to be updated if it's even slightly stale, despite being stable and working just fine. I can understand part of why that is (e.g. the overhead required to support multiple versions), but I think it's shortsighted of us to treat non-adherence to the "bleeding edge" as a security or code smell.
I'm not sure if this would actually count as "existential", but I think that it's well worth being very, very concerned about a consequence on the order of

"Millions to billions of people die; large percentages of the rest are displaced and/or have their lives made significantly shorter, harsher, and less certain as war, famine, disease, and natural disasters become vastly more common around the globe."

And there's really very little question that that's where climate change is leading if we don't get it under control soon.
They started fighting it rather late, though, and some of the underlying reasons are different. In the 70's the labor force was expanding due to baby boomers and women entering the workforce.
That was a fun read. BTW, I bought both Kondo’s original tidying book and her tidying for work book.

I have been looking at ways to simplify my software stacks while transitioning to “retirement.” For me this is often just pushing complexity to web infrastructure managed by corporations (but always with an easy migration path). Examples:

Lisp dev: I have been using Common Lisp for 40 years. I am eyeing more minimal languages like a Scheme implementation or Racket. I have flirted with the idea of Emacs Lisp but this would be a huge learning curve for me.

Deep learning, and general Python: I am a big fan of Google Colab. I haven’t powered up my at home GPU rig in months. For local Python dev, for little projects I have mostly moved away from PyCharm and VSCode, moving back to Emacs + python-mode.

When I must set up a web app, I am almost all in on GCP, sometimes Hetzner, never AWS for my own stuff.

I will probably drop programming languages that I don’t often use now like JavaScript, Haskell, Clojure, Smalltalk, and Java.
Actually symptoms being unobservable is not only not unique to psychology (the distinction is well known in medicine), it's a core challenge within the practice of medicine and one of its historic tensions. Yeah, a patient might be complaining of chest pain, but the reason for the complaint is going to be unknown to you until you start the process of diagnosis. Chest pain is a symptom of many conditions, and you can't even trust that there's an observable cause, you can only believe what the patient tells you. This was obviously even worse until modern developments of things like MRIs and X-rays.

Compare that to signs, where you can see that a patient has say, a lesion or is clearly coughing.
Yes and? They're still smart guys. To be honest I don't see why you anti-Musk crusaders bother so much, let people's accomplishments speak for themselves. Sure, go laugh at Musk's and other self-appointed Ubermen when they fail, but at least appreciate when they did accomplish stuffs. Better to fail a hundred times than not even try from the beginning.
Depends what you mean by works. Of course installing the same version of the tool will in most cases keep doing the same thing it's always done. But it's possible the tool always had bugs that were never noticed, has significant improvements that could benefit the project, etc.
If Genesis is found to be operating as a ponzi scheme (lol, lmao), then the bankruptcy court will send you a bill for the money you've withdrawn. You can try to fight that in court - but you'll lose. If you try to fight for it another way, I wish you the best of luck.
To be fair I feel like this can be said about nearly any task or process.

Southwest also advertises many more flights than it plans to actually fly. Like if there's no penalty for a less than 2 hour adjustment, why not advertise flights every hour, and then regroup people day of? Or send them to Oakland instead of San Francisco, day of?
It used to be, in rare cases, when banks did not resell mortgages forward, that you could renegotiate the principle amount in lieu of foreclosure.

Basically, everyone would recognize that the bank could take a $50k wash if they foreclosed, so for the right deal they'd take a smaller wash, and you'd have a lower principal amount and a longer payment term or similar.

It still happens with big commercial loans at times.
If only 0.1% of Amazon employees are very unhappy and vent their horror stories online, you will hear hundreds of bad stories. If 99.9 are "just fine" with it, you won't hear a single story...

Lol yeah. The apple cart has already flipped. The "rich" are seeing their balance sheet completely melt down right now, and may even get worse still.

People get what they want, and it's still not good. In this case, triumph of labor, high wage growth, low employment, and rentiers scurrying to eek out any kind of gain.
That is not necessarily true for minerals, which are mined not produced.
That’s a strange take. There’s tons of reasons why people leak things to the press besides: political/ideological concerns, employees who felt jilted, people who like the attention, reporters hitting up employees for information, etc etc.

It’s also far more likely to happen at a company that is a media darling where everything it does gets documented in papers around the world.

So naturally there’s tons of outside pressure for information to leak compared to typical orgs.
The pages from 171 to 188 are missing: Chapters 25 (The system variables) and 26 (Using machine code) and Appendix A (The character set, with a disassembly table). All the fun stuff. I have still the third edition of the manual.
The topic was UPI. Not general.

You can ask bank to reverse card transaction and certain form of transfers but for UPI, there is no automatic reversal. Your bank needs to contact other bank after receiving police report to freeze the account and then sort it out. The scammer will take out the money before that or move it.

It is not reversal and it is not an option in practice unless the amount is very big which is rare for P2P. There is an upper limit on transactions enforced on UPI.

The point still stands that reversal is not a significant problem for adoption when it's such as an edge case. UPI added dispute handling standard process only after it was processing more than billions of transactions monthly.

There is something else holding crypto back from being used for payments.

I've had mixed results. For some formats (NTLM, SHA, OpenSSH, IKE, etc), John seems to be better just out of the box. I've compared it to Hashcat with a spefied format, mask, and tune. For whatever reason, 50% of the time, John runs significantly faster without any arguments.
