Can you imagine the international and diplomatic chaos that would ensue from world cup fans getting to jail in Qatar over things that are morally acceptable in their country of origin? I think FIFA would be blamed for the decision to host the world cup in Qatar too, the country of origin would be in a pickle too, and some media will definitely fan the flames (pun intended). Depending on the timing it can even lead to protests during the world cup itself.

I think the entire thing is explosive, and the recent response of Qatar to ban alcoholic sales (whether it's acceptable or not I don't care) shows that they have no idea they are walking on thin ice, and that's a bad sign. Whatever Qatar or the fans should've done might matter for you to pick a side, but I personally think those responsible are whoever brought the fire and oil together, neither the fire nor oils fault for exploding when they met. I think Qatar is also pretty shortsighted for not realizing the damage they are going to do to themselves might be much more than the advantage.
> no partial sync

That's not really true. You can specify which files you don't want synced. So, on my phone i can say "don't send me files that match the following pattern" https://docs.syncthing.net/users/ignoring.html

So in your example you could make a subfolder "big files" and exclude that subfolder from being synchronized to your mobile device.

I also love syncthing. I've got it set up to transfer my phone's pictures to my PC where I regularly sort through them and weed them out. And I've got a shared folder that's replicated across all my devices that contains my Obsidian vault, my KeePass file and other useful things

Impossible search is a feature: where there is search there are ads, paid links and SEO spam, instead of people you trust, or at least people you know, giving out links to Discord servers.
I never minded it so much in Apple code; with the syntax for calling methods, it made method invocations sound like sentences, more like literal programming. Plus, intrinsic named parameters, so many languages - including Go IMO - would benefit from named parameters.
Federal employment laws, state employment laws, and court precedents substitute for a detailed contract for many employees in the U.S.

This is in fact a big reason that companies like to use so many contractors: it’s way easier to manage the downside risk for a contractor because the employer’s liability is scoped entirely to one written agreement. Whereas their relationship with employees is scoped to the broad set of laws and precedents mentioned in my first paragraph.
Economic Homelessness is caused not by economics, but by government policies

At this point you could stir up hysteria over anything. Your cloud provider, ISP, operating system support team, XYZ SaaS provider could also just invent a new billing policy to screw the customer over.
At the same time, ^ the big providers have profitable revenue streams, so they don't have much incentive to change their billing. VC startups of course on growing instead of verifying that their business model actually works, and end up either:

- locking the software behind a paywall

- locking the software behind a paywall

- inventing a proprietary + open-source + pay us royalties license

- pretending that their software is free whilst employing a proprietary + pay us royalties for anything bigger than a hobby project license

- going bust
I had very similar results with German<->English. DeepL was extremely good at translating subtleties between the languages and maintaining tone and context. Turkish<->German is a lot more difficult apparently, but the sentences often come out in a way you might theoretically say and understand, but you would never use in spoken language or in writing. Might be because the languages are very different and also culturally influenced, or maybe the training corpus is just way smaller.
"They didn't get run over the last two times they ran across the freeway, so running across the freeway is perfectly safe."

They developed those methods of dealing with JVM and scheduler issues because those problems rose in prominence against the background of a zillion other problems. They became the longest poles, most worth spending time and effort on. But those other problems still exist, with more appearing every day. Yes, even without code change, because environments and workloads change too. Anyone who has actually been responsible for large complex systems, not just in the sense of working at the same team/company and riding the coat-tails of those who actually understood it, knows that they require continued attention and always will. Entropy exists.
I don't think it's that ridiculous. The default should be not to ban entertainment, and it's not so clearcut whether the danger outweighs the benefits much more than for many other legal forms of entertainment.

Roy Haynes is one of the greatest musicians I have ever heard.
> Grimm observes that this rambling dialectical inquiry yields a result that coincides with Schopenhauer’s opinion that the self is a point whose immobility is useful for discerning, by contrast, the heavy-laden flight of time. This opinion translates the self into a mere logical imperative, without qualities of its own or distinctions from individual to individual.

I find it difficult to reconcile this with a modern understanding of neurobiology and psychology.

> Are desire, thought, happiness, and distress my true self? The answer, in accordance with the precept, is clearly in the negative, since those conditions expire without annulling me with them. Consciousness – the final hideout where we might track down the self – also proves unqualified. Once the emotions, the extraneous perceptions, and even ever-shifting thought are dismissed, consciousness is a barren thing, without any appearance reflected in it to make it exist.

I would in fact go in the opposite direction. The self is an amalgamation of all these things, layered upon each other and infinitely interwoven over time. In the same way an electron can be seen as more as a "cloud" with no definite position until measurement, we are a cloud of experiences and thoughts and emotions that happens to take one configuration or another based on external "measurements".

There is no thought or emotion I can have right now that isn't in some way influenced or shaped by what I may have experienced a few minutes ago, or an hour ago, or a week ago, or a year ago, or a decade ago. If I strip away the emotions, the thoughts, the perceptions, all I have is a functionless mirror.
I distinctly remember having to use mplayer/mpv over VLC, and youtube-dl, etc. (definitely not Chrome!) just to be able to play any reasonable video (usually downscaled from 1080p).

And Zathura for lightweight PDF reading (with customisable colours!).

And of course vim and emacs (you're not running IntelliJ, PyCharm, etc. on that).

But it worked really well, and in retrospect was probably good for productivity as you couldn't really do anything else. So I'd download Coursera videos and watch them on the train with mpv/mplayer, etc. - it was frustrating when I had to fix some GUI code on-the-go though, and could barely use Glade with the tiny resolution and screen.

The article literally limits its context to the billboard top 100. It's right there in the title.
Actually I meant mediocre and less capable in that its a fwd unibody and not a body on frame rwd truck. An affordable truck wont have a lot of options. But I consider those two design choices to be kind of core to what a real truck is. A fwd unibody platform is ultimately a car wearing a truck's clothing. Just like crossovers may look like SUVs but when conditions get bad and Karen tries to go up an icey incline and finds out it in fact isn't.

My benchmark with affordable trucks will be past models like the S-10 and Ranger. Those were small, light on options but still trucks with proper frames and a rwd drivetrain.
There is an option for more than one USB-C port.

Chargers for 240W will appear eventually, standard was approved few months ago.
Ask HN: Any well-known FOSS SSO provider with PASETO support?
Ditto. To my understanding, most of the mainstream stuff like Keycloak, Ory Hydra, etc do not support the PASETO standard, which IMO should be preferred over the likes of OIDC, OAuth and the JWT-mess the PASETO tries to supersede.

So, is anyone aware of some project which has built-in PASETO integration?

Tech companies are growth-oriented companies. It doesn't matter if their current set of features "runs"; it's not the end of the story, it's only the beginning.

If the current featureset runs perfectly, but there is no R&D progress towards the next set of features to keep up with the competition, keep the current userbase onboard, and solicit the next generations of users: the company is dead.
This is the answer. Write a utility instead of get frustrated with the language; be pragmatic. Same with looking for libraries that do something trivial.

Ask HN: From countries outside Twitter Verified places, how’s your experience?
I‘m from Germany and even if I wanted to, Twitter Verified isn‘t available as a subscription here. Only in the US, Canada etc.

It could be entirely placebo, but recently I‘ve seen more verified posts in my timeline and honestly I now feel pretty demotivated from posting. My understanding is that even if no changes were made to the algorithm, Twitter always favored verified accounts.

So since there are now more active verified users, for anyone not within those countries where it is available, I feel like posting isn‘t worth it anymore.

But at the same time, it‘s hard to tell and I‘d rather spend my time on a distribution platform where the mental model is clear.

And before everyone calls me an Elon hater: I think having an 8$ subscription for improving the social graph is actually a neat idea. I just think it‘s currently really half-assed if not everyone can subscribe.

Not a kernel hacker, but if it's just for fun, I don't know if you'd need to limit yourself to no_std crates. Allocation is supported (if it wasn't, then Rust's stdlib wouldn't be adding fallible allocation APIs to support the kernel usecase (and even if crates in the wild aren't using these APIs and abort on OOM, again, this is just for fun)). Meanwhile, I feel like OS-specific stuff performed by libstd (e.g. threads, networking) must surely be supportable somehow, since the OS is right there and all its facilities still exist, even if you might need to adjust codegen to account for the difference between kernelspace and userspace (I assume you would need to compile against a specific target?).

For high power laptops, the relevant USB-PD versions with sufficient wattage are too recent to have penetrated all product lines. But I haven’t seen a new laptop without usb-c charging in a long time. Even laptops that ship with their own bricks support slower usb-c charging as well (this will still be allowed by the EU law). Maybe you can identify a couple that don’t. I wonder how much market share they have and if they even matter.

> This is incorrect because if an attacker can make a DNS lookup (say for example.com) resolve to an attacker-controlled entry (and there are multiple ways to do this),

That'd be annoying to achieve, unless the authoritative name server is compromised... oops.

> This is the same "moving the goal posts" argument. The government already controls the domain system, so you wouldn't be any worse with DNSSEC and DANE than with insecure DNS and WebPKI. You'd actually be much more secure.

Compromising both nameserver operators and public CA's is much more difficult and much more visible. There is *no transparency* with DNSSEC alone.

> Yeah, I'm not sure about that.

DNSSEC deployment percentage by TLD should confirm it for you. If it's not that hard, why do some ccTLD's still not support it? It's ridiculous that website owners' website security should depend on that.

> It does if the last mile is DNS-over-HTTPS, or DNS-over-TLS, or the client does DNSSEC validation.

DNS-over-DANE-HTTPS sounds a bit tautological, doesn't it?

> In fact, even the most basic TLS deployment requires significantly more steps than enabling DNSSEC.

It really doesn't if we're speaking of DANE vs. WebPKI.

> It's not, you mentioned NSEC3 yourself below, while dismissing it as "bizarro", which I don't see how it can be a valid argument.

NSEC3 which is considered barely a hindrance to zone walking.

> If DNSSEC was enabled by default then applications wouldn't have to worry about DNS security and they would be just fine.

Assuming operators enable it

> Oh, why don't you ask that about the WebPKI? That's a government's dream come true, actually.

And DNSSEC would be even more so.

> With DNSSEC and DANE they can't.

Ehh? That's a leap.

> Yes, because everyone is running systems so carefully today.

And they'll be more diligent with DNSSEC which has far fewer safeguards?

> Haven't CAs already demonstrated their incompetence, power abuse and inability to prevent governments from around the world from attacking domains in other countries?

And haven't registrars demonstrated the same? Oh, that's right, we wouldn't know, because there's no oversight, there's barely any deployment, there's barely any good tooling.

> I really mean no offense or disrespect, but this post honestly just reads like a bunch of FUD to me...

I'd really say the same about claiming DNSSEC+DANE would "fix" WebPKI.

Ha. I remember going to the world cup in rugby in france and drinking about 5 pints during the game for an extortionate price (10 euro each or somesuch). Only found out after the game they were non-alcoholic. I think it is illegal in france to serve alcohol in stadiums?
2nd paragraph of the article states, "Employment insecurity and the rising cost of living are also taking a toll and expanding the profile of those at risk of homelessness. "

Yet, UBI would drive prices up more, as its simple monetary creation. Rising costs are part of the problem, let's not use UBI to make them rise faster.

(Unless of course one were to simultaneously destroy the same amount if money as the UBI from someone else's savings. But that amounts to theft---unmasking the real morality of UBI. And I've never heard UBI proponents argue that we should steal from the rich to fund it.)
Maybe just to mention you an open-source, windows based countermeasure against ransomeware (and all other software that has tendency to trash its garbage all over the system disk). It should be widely known but unfortunately it isnt:

https://sandboxie-plus.com/

You declare a sandbox and run program there (by default or context menu) and all the changes, including registry will be done as "copy-on-write" into sandboxie folder. Even uninstalling complex software like adobe photoshop is just deleting that folder.

Here someone is teasing but running wannacry in a sandboxie:

What ransonware will do in this case, it will open a file, but all the writes are going to be done within sandboxie directory leaving original files intact.
In its first incarnation the industry proposed micro USB as a charging standard. I think we can agree that's a pretty poor choice, connectors that break easily, only go in one way, and low power. So Apple was right to ignore it.

We would have been stuck with micro USB for eternity if it wasn't for Apple. I realise they may not have objected out of the kindness of their hart, but good thing they did.

There is no technical challenge here. You can rent GPU instances from any cloud provider. Each of those has a built-in hardware video encoder. Then you can proceed to stream your CAD app/game/desktop/website over the browser with WebRTC. It's almost all OTC software. Stadia does it. Geforce Cloud does it.

There is no technological innovation left in this space. You can package it with a nice GUI and convenient user experience, but I feel like that's hardly a billion dollar startup idea.

This is the most eloquent summary of "bums are lazy".

I propose it's highly unlikely that a person who is living on streets is doing so simply because they are lazy.

Imagine freezing in the winter or sweating in the summer.
How about worrying where you'll find food, staying safe from unstable people or maybe even well off people who attack/kill the homeless.
Your claim is that this is a choice out of a laziness and not a mental disorder and/or an inability to get a job due to reasons outside of their control.

What's also interesting is that if you claim it's their choice then not helping doesn't make you look bad.
The very fact that not a single western social network is permitted to operate in China is a sufficient reason to ban TikTok in America.

I am excited for the future of rust, but I am worried about where the language is today. It is simply a young, unstable language. There are lots of features you need the nightly compiler for, and there are large breaking changes with every edition every few years.

I fail to see the good in this sort of government overreach. Almost all devices in the market are already using USB C. IPhone market share must be less than 5% in India. You can simply opt to buy the remaining 95% of phones.

Now consider in three years One plus or some other company comes up with a new standard that is way more efficient and better than USB C. But they cannot use it in their phones. They are forced by law to not compete in this area.

So there's no good at all, but tremendous potential to stall future innovation.

I don't need to fight airlines and insurance agents for compensation when my flight gets delayed. A smart contract can unlock insurance payouts as soon as independent organizations responsible for managing air traffic verify the delay. Cutting out all the current manual labor will lower insurance premiums and offer much more trustworthy service.

This is typical automation story. Replacing switchboard ladies with automated systems wasn't "fundamentally different" either, but made calling much more efficient.

Government organizations are already collecting loads of machine-readable stats on things like road accidents, and it's fairly trivial to tie these sources of ground truth with automated insurance systems. There should be no reason for me to fill forms and for a lady in a expensive office building to process them, if my insurance is simple standard contract and department of transportation has a database entry stating when, why and by how much my flight was delayed. A script on AWS can process that, and free our time for more valuable or more pleasurable enterprises.
