Oh it propagates here too, I'm in the south west. I just find that I'd rather be able to take my bike on the train than to have it be punctual. If that's the trade off here. I understand it's not that simple due to the load on the system and all but I'm just saying, this made me realize that I'd rather have a late train with freedom than a punctual train with no freedom.

I'm not just a bicyclist, I'm also a pet owner. Swedish trains are very generous regarding pets. Especially Öresundståg, the commuter trains of the south and south west.

While in Denmark they are very strict suddenly, requiring even the smallest dog to be crated in the bicycle area.

No, you don't make money. Instead, try to play the "money" game smartly.

I use Termux for a lot of things on my phone. git, neovim, ffmpeg, ImageMagick, mass downloading using scripts in various languages, SSH to other systems, grepping the Wordle list with regex when I'm stuck at 5 guesses...

Anyway it's great. It handles everything I've thrown at it like a champ. I am constantly amazed someone managed to make a phone environment this reliable and full featured.

I'm well aware it's just apt packages with the base path modified but I'm still really impressed.

The documentation is also really good. I've never had to ask a question to do anything I've wanted.
If an adversary is within bluetooth range of a Briar user what if any data or meta data they are able to gain?

For example, say there is a protest and law enforcement is running devices to capture the Briar data and meta data, what would they be able to record and would it be possible to playback (decrypt) the data at a later point if they were able to capture keys; my understanding is Signal counters playback attacks, but lacks P2P Bluetooth support.

Worth noting that Briar’s Bluetooth support appears to forward data, but not in real-time, so it’s technically not a mesh network; though not sure what you would call what it supports, maybe an asynchronous network?
That one pissed me off. Since when is rounded corners a 'correct' way to make an input?
This is awesome, now we can use our old cellphones as small cloud servers (I have one with a 128Gb SD card running rsyncd, sshd, smbd, nginx, php, openvpn, transmission)

I feel like no matter what, the game client acting as a server must have a hole in the firewall or a coordinating client.

> Simply give them a one-off URL that they type into their gameclient and they connect to it exactly like a public server, which I can then disable after the session.

What's the difference between this and a script that SSH's to your firewall and toggles a port's open-ness or alternatively a script that sends the required POST requests to authenticate and toggle your firewall (easily pulled out of the network dev tools in your browser as curl's)?

There's a hole in your firewall either way. What difference does it make if that hole that opens to your network is in tail-scales servers (with a public IP and port) or yours?

> I feel like this is a glaring product void that inexplicably nobody seems to have noticed?

I don't think this is a product void at all. The security cost of port forwarding to port in the non ephemeral range with no listening service is quite low.
It’s always entertaining to watch juniors start hung ho for their early career until their first major project gets sunset. It’s like they let so much of themselves go they can’t bear to do it again. For me, it’s like taking a shit, I don’t mind losing that part of me.
A blockchain requires significant, persistent and consistent community effort.

If you can not have one guy taking up the mantle and doing the hosting, how can you get hundreds to do the same?

>A reason I have been interested in blockchain is that it seems like a good way to make a decentralized application that could exist beyond the life of the company or person that creates it.

Community run projects have existed for decades on the internet. They never needed a blockchain to persist. If they died, they died due to lack of interest and effort by their communities. A blockchain can not prevent that.

>maybe other solutions I'm not considering or aware of?
IPFS potentially.
Well it’s certainly not for boys, unless boys like being considered incompetent idiots who can never understand why they’re toxic. At least that’s true of every straight male character in the show.
That seems to be a case in which regulation is actually protecting clients of brokerages. Of course, thise regulations are bad if you are a, say, crypto exchange, and want to, say, engage in "investment" activities using those client deposits (regardless if those a fiat currency, crypto or something else).

Haha, this beginning was eerie to read:

> We often called it distributed ledger technology because our platform didn't actually use chains of blocks or proof of work, and it didn't have a token or anything like that. It was essentially a type of database but it had a lot of ideas from Bitcoin in it and was blockchainy enough that customers accepted it as such.

because it was actually how I selected Corda as the infrastructure for a project a few years ago. The customers and managers wanted Blockchain®, and I wanted to deliver something that actually added some kind of value, and I found Corda which - as I told my CEO - was "close enough to a blockchain that our marketing splash wasn't lying".

(Whereas to my fellow devs, I said more or less "look, it's Spring Boot with a replicated event-sourced database and a funny CLI admin panel")

Unfortunately the project never got past the test stage because - this is gonna shock you - the very first, extremely basic smart contract we encoded in Corda was immediately violated by the customer's processes, and they absolutely refused to change.

Still, I want to thank you because your platform enabled me to retain my dignity without pissing off my boss for a half year or so.
There are certainly tx validity rules, though, and when presented with a set of equally valid txs, miners will likely choose the one that is best for them (called "MEV", miner extractable value).
For sure, it's the same principles as the internet, and that unfortunately is why there are so many bad actors in the space.

There are companies and technologies being created to mitigate them just like how the internet spawned anti-(virus/spam/malware) companies. On the early internet with ActiveX, Flash, and few firewalls it was so easy to get exploited and this is the phase of DeFi we're in now, but it will get better over time.

Such a database already exists, and it is called AWS QLDB.

Deleting a document revision in QLDB does not actually delete it, but rather moves the last known revision into a shadow history table that accompanies every table in QLDB. The full document change history lookup has to accommodate in the code path a fallback to the history table when a document revision can't be located in the main data entity table. If no document revision exists in either table, it has never existed in the database.
"Extended integer types may be wider than intmax_t". I'm sure there's a good reason for this, but it was introduced in C99, which says (in 7.8.1.5): "[intmax_t] designates a signed integer type capable of representing any value of any signed integer type".

That was already portable between 16 bit, 32 bit, 64 bit etc. Why is it that just because the compiler supports 128 bit or 256 bit integers that compiling in such a mode doesn't correspondingly update "[u]intmax_t"?

The linked page says they 'cannot be "extended integer types" in the sense of C17', but that printf() and scanf() should still support these?
It’s an interesting piece, and I think it’s intended to be satirical (and done rather well).

But, I grew up in an actual cult. The comments here to the effect of “everything’s a cult” and “startups are cults” and “HN is a cult” - oh gosh. Nothing could be further from the truth. HN is not a cult, folks.

I’m glad people can make those jokes though, because I immediately know they didn’t experience what I did. They have never experienced the ongoing heartbreak of losing your entire world when you leave - your family, your friends, your job, your social life, your religion, your everything. People who get out don’t tend to make light of it.

In any case: know that there are actual cults in operation, and they do tremendous harm. The “everything’s a cult” stuff allows them to operate more freely these days.
Aren't companies much more tightly controlled than a random dude who hosts a mastodon server though ?
I have a high res screen, and I preferred the squared corners.
Not all jobs can be done by telecommuting. It's a great solution for office work, but it doesn't work so well for manufacturing, retail or the service industry.

> most public transit currently doesn’t serve those people well because it’s focused on work-related commuting patterns.

Does it? Work-related travel is mostly during morning and late afternoon, but public transit also runs outside those hours. In my experience public transit works quite well for non-commuting travel. Of course this can vary wildly by country, but the claim that public transit only really serves commuters is not universally true.
And I don't like or want to move around like a Swatch shop employee. :)
Funny I've never posted anything very interesting here in Hacker News, but a Tweet of mine made the frontpage.
> This is so true! You have to be 110% sure the other person is actually attracted to you.

Or just be a woman. Causal sexual harassment and even sexual assault in the workplace is almost always just ignored or glossed over if it’s perpetrated by a woman. If a man reports to HR that his female boss grabbed his ass they’ll look at him like he’s mentally ill, or ask him if he’s bothered by it because he’s homosexual.
I think a lot of people are not considering something important here.

What if it actually works out for Twitter?

If it does, this will set the baseline for how you can treat software developers.

The special treatment (in compensation, flexibility, etc) we seem to enjoy over other white collar professions will be gone.
Ah, okay, so as long as people go and follow your account, even if you had a one person instance, it would "just work".

I already moved my account from one mastodon instance to another (that is hosted via masto.host) and it was really seamless. So, maybe eventually I'd move to my own hosted instance.
> instead track work on a ticket

Where it will never be picked up, because rework tickets never get prioritized over feature work until something breaks.

And when some future engineer comes along and asks themselves why the hell this code is the way it is, they'll have to git-blame, dig through commits, find PRs for commits, hopefully find referenced ticket numbers, read those, and play archeologist to try to reconstruct whether there's good reason for the existing code's being from those indirect signals. Whereas a simple "TODO" could just tell said future engineer what they ought to know.

I sincerely appreciate a well-written TODO, and I make every effort to write good TODOs for others.
> that they couldn't run their algo on an actual supercomputer, it likely wouldn't have taken 20 months

I am assuming that is how the result was verified much faster - >1,000x the computer power used. Without looking deeper (like actually reading the article!) I couldn't say way that would be in this particular case, but such a disparity between power used to make a finding and power used to verify it by repetition is often the case when the initial result is discovered by a recreational researcher or small group, not a better funded group.

Not unlike the human scaling seen when one individual or a small group publishes a proof that could be significant, and many others poor over it to see if they can find a flaw before it is generally accepted as a genuine new finding (an order of magnitude or more of human brains to check, than to initially find).
This is a misreading. Relying on your own judgment does not mean that you need to be an island who thinks that they know better than anyone else. What it means is that your judgment is founded on your own critical thinking, which still allows you to recognize when you lack some experience and perspective and defer to the wisdom of others when necessary.
Is `drain` still a kubectl only construct? I was looking for an API to do this once upon a time and it seemed all the logic for this command lived in the CLI only.
Show HN: Proof of Concept for an SMB server that works as a torrent client
Over the past few days I've been trying to get Kodi to stream torrents using the SMB protocol and some code for a popular nodejs torrent package. It seems to work fairly well, although, there are a few bugs to iron out. It uses virtual SMB folders for search, abusing the navigation features of SMB clients.

It’s super annoying because those bands cost pennies each to make yet by the time they are individually packaged, they are $10 ea. I wish I could buy a lifetime supply. Maybe 50 for $50.

I feel that's not my problem as an employee. I work the same amount of time regardless.
I know of a guy through a social worker friend who, if he goes off his medication (which he does with some frequency), becomes convinced that there are vampires who are out to get him.

The human mind is not always a terribly reliable authority, especially your own (where you lack perspective).
Google removed the need to pause after saying the wake word years ago. (Possibly you haven't disabled the acknowledgement beep)
I had to reboot my Windows PC at least once every few days back in the XP and Vista era. BSODs were common especially while gaming. I think moving GPU drivers out of the kernel into userspace made a big difference as GPU driver crashes are now recoverable. Nowadays I can go weeks or months without rebooting, only rebooting for forced security updates.
> You can see this in Github Copilot, which is built by Github in collaboration with Open AI. As of late 2022, Copilot shows a lot of promise but still has a long way to go.

This sounds like spite. Sure, copilot can be even better (what can't?) but it's already a great tool. It has a small learning curve (which is just getting comfortable with it) and then it can add a lot to your productivity. Of course, this is orthogonal to any copyright polemics out there.

Kite never got close to what copilot is.
> If it's truly open, including the underlying recommendation models and algorithms, I will be happy to use it and set up a monthly donation for whoever wants to keep working on it.

Knowing examples such as Hudson CI & co, that probably makes it "no one", at a statistical scale.
You keep throwing around the same mantra (“Russians literally invaded”, “Russians are solely responsible for this war”) while my fingertips are blue from typing walls of text, arguing with facts (from Western sources). Again: The West (led by the US) has provoked this war between Russia and Ukraine - by breaking promises and propping up Ukraine to provoke Russia.

Contrary to your argument, that quote is still relevant today. Perfect example is the recent sabotage of NorthStream 1 and 2. Because it is still down Germany has to keep its mouth shut (while it loses its competitive advantage due to cheap energy from Russia), it keeps Russia out of Europe (mainly energy, but commodities, as well) and it keeps the US still in Europe (EUnuchs must buy natural gas from the US).
You don't need modulation (going to more than one scale/key) for the song to "go somewhere" or be hella interesting, catchy and touching/emotional.

Tens of thousands of the most known rock and pop songs and hits, from rockers to tearful ballads, are single scale diatonic as well.

You don't even need off-scale passing notes...

The reason this doesn't go anywhere, is not because it's single-scale, but because the melody has no direction and purpose. It's just a "random" pick based on the mouse movements.
yeah, people won't ever admit that Twitter was already dead.

It's probably because many Twitter former employees lurk here on HN and can't understand why nobody is rooting for their beloved platform, of course shame on EM for his abusive behaviour, people before money, always, but nobody will miss Twitter if it really dies.

Half of what Twitter does is superfluous and the rest is badly executed.

A normal company would not survive with only 20% of the staff, Twitter might thrive, because honestly, at its core, as many have already pointed out, Twitter is “writing on a bathroom wall”.

Also: never forget that this happened and then Kashoggi was killed by the Royal Prince Bin Salman

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/aug/09/twitter-saud...

But while people are worried now that Prince Al-Walid invested 1.9 billion dollars in Musk's Twitter, they also forget that till 2020 he owned 4.6% of Twitter through the Saudi investment fund he controls, the shares were acquired in 2015, when the spy was already working for Twitter and the management had already confronted him about the issue!

The Invite/Skip being better with the buttons being different is pretty subjective. It's basically a dark pattern highlighting the invite action.
Same problem with F-105. Constant exposure to pool water seems to kill the wristband. I just got a black elastic band from a haberdashery store and experimented with it. My final solution is to cut a segment, seal both ends with superglue (to keep rubber strands fixed to the band structure) and fold over the pins and sew ends (used black dental floss since all I had at the time). Band is 20mm wide which is a tad too wide but works fine for me. It is very comfortable and I am never going back to a stock bands. They were selling the elastic band by the meter so I have enough for a decade or so.
Why add a logistical nightmare and delays when you don’t have to? I just moved from Japan to Europe and the difference in reliability of the schedule is night and day.

And aside from timing of one train leaving, there are express Shinkansen trains that overtake local shinkansen trains at minor stops, I would think it’s not trivial to propagate delays to these timings.
Show HN: Server emulator in C for an old game (Lineage 2 Chronicle 4)
Hello guys, hope you had a wonderful weekend. Today, I wanted to share with you a side project of mine, which is a simple server emulator for the game Lineage 2 (very popular MMORPG back in the 2000) I would very much like to hear your feedback and I hope you find it interesting. I'm also trying to document and record the whole process in my YouTube channel and so far, it's looking promising. Anyways, thank you for taking the time for reading. Have a lovely day.

The article seems to be more about proving reserves rather than proving "solvency". There's more to assets and liabilities than just customer deposits and coins held. How does a Merkle tree help when customer deposits are used as collateral for some off chain loan and then the value of the exchange's equity drops below the value of these off chain liabilities?
Ukraine has been in a downfall since the breakup of the USSR. But the real troubles started after the Maidan coup in 2014. Corruption, economic downfall acceleration, and political instability are all the result of puppet governments the West has installed there. “Russian traitors” are not even remotely responsible for anything. As I wrote to the other commenter: The West (led by the US) has provoked this war between Russia and Ukraine - by breaking promises and propping up Ukraine to provoke Russia.

If “Poland has never been better” then why is there a shortage of medical personnel, why is the inflation almost 20%, why does the EU commission strangles Poland and keeps its billions? (to name a few) You personally may think Poland is in the club of equals, in the club of solidarity (NATO, EU) but you personally seem to have learned nothing from history. Prior to WWII the British had promised help to Poland if Germans attacked it. And what has happened? They have kept drinking their tea while German tanks have rolled over Poland. And who has liberated Poland? Those bloody Russians! Today, the US will not lift a finger if (God forbid, God forbid) Russians and Poles start a war.

We Serbs are not butthurt. At the beginning of the nineties we didn’t understand why our former allies in two wars (US, GB, France) had stood by those who were on the German side in those two wars (Croats, Muslims, Albanians). Heck, in WWII, the Serbs have saved lives of the US pilots whose planes were shot down by the Germans, only to be bombed by their ancestors - twice in one decade [0]. But then, after some time, we have realized that all accusations are in over 90% of cases baseless and pure propaganda - and that the West is lying, cheating, deceiving us all the time. It was, again, a projection: The West has accused us (the Serbs) of expulsion, war crimes and genocide while their peons (Croats have expelled almost 200.000 Serbs in 1995 [1], Albanians have killed Serbs and have burned our churches and monasteries in 2004 [2]) have done that to us - with impunity and with the West behind them. The kangaroo court in the Hague has sentenced Serbs to over 1.000 years while everyone who has killed the Serbs was free to go.

Your other arguments I have answered in my other comments.

Aw, yes, one more thing: Are you really happy that Polish soldiers are protecting Albanians in Kosovo while they do this [3].

I've paid for jetbrains multiple times, even though it's quite expensive for someone making money in a a third world currency. I pay for copilot.

However, I would never pay for stuff that I can get free. I could talk to my company to buy it, but I would settle for something close and free if it come to that.
