Some of you may have heard that a random Git website called Codeberg has been pushing since last week to ban crypto projects from its platform. The readon? "They're not welcome here" (paraphrased). And also because SourceHut already did it.

They had since locked the thread before I could comment, to try to avoid the media frenzy. They re-opened it a few days ago. I will post my comment in full below, because I believe inclusiveness is a human right for all. (Wall of text warning)

If you think this is not so important because Codeberg is not a big source control site, then just imagine if this was Github or Gitlab doing this. Try to imagine all the backlash they would get from the wider world. This recent trend of Git sites harassing crypto developers and their projects must be stopped.

This is not unknowable.

Police reviewed the case with full access to all documents and videos.

A reputable news organization contacted Google for comment.

There was all the opportunity to present "other side of story" by Google if any. And I actually think everybody in article goes out of their WAY to present the other side - they repeatedly call google's work important but difficult and offer several plausible non malevolent reasons for the behaviour.

I agree life is complex and we rarely get all the details, but even I don't agree with a completely defeatist "life is unknowable" attitude.

System 360 is very well documented by the Principles Of Operation: https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.5555/1102026

So much better written than Intel’s Software Developer Manuals, where anything complicated is just “look at these three pages of c-like pseudo code we probably pulled from our tests, good luck!”

IBM themselves have had to maintain backwards compatibility for > 50 years, and there is a long history of compatible machines: https://www.computerhistory.org/revolution/mainframe-compute...

So all the strange behaviours are well documented.

> Why is there no straight forward way to browse the actual file path in Finder, when a shortcut allows to copy it?

In Finder, selecting View > Show Path Bar will place a persistent path bar on each window. Additionally command clicking the proxy icon that appears when hovering over finder titlebars will open a path menu (and also works in any application with a proxy icon in its titlebar).

To go to a path, select Go > Go to Folder… or tap Command-Shift-G. This can be rebound to a more convenient shortcut in System (Preferences|Settings) > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts.

Command-Option-C will copy the path of the currently selected item to the clipboard.

The obvious prevalent use case is adding a business / work line via your company's VoIP provider to your personal handset (or a company one, for that matter). I'm sure this is very common, and I have both done and supported it at multiple employers. Personally I have also in the past used VoIP accounts for cheap long distance, but I maintain a cellular service for reliability with local calls.

Having this functionality integrate with the OS is much handier than the clunkiness of dealing with individual apps, and this idea of replaceable parts is a key advantage of Android in general.

Emergency calls probably warrant special care and maybe more rigid handling, I will grant, but there's no reason not to support this in general.
Or, people need to calibrate their desires for housing to their ability to pay for it. When landlords have bought property that becomes more valuable, they made an investment that paid off. This is what happens everywhere all the time. People speculate, some win, some lose.

You've probably done it yourself, maybe by speculating on where to apply for employment. It's hard to win that way since millions of people can copy that thesis. There is only so much real estate however.

At each rent increase, you could re-evaluate whether the investment is working out for you and adjust accordingly. You could also lobby your employer to move somewhere more affordable. I understand that is not a simple or easy thing to do, and you have my empathy. I just want to give you some insight a bit above "yeah, fuck those guys, you got screwed" which is not all that helpful to you.
Sure, but when the last 10 comments made are archive links on submitted articles, it seems like it's just an account to farm internet points. I guess I just don't understand what the point is?
I think it's a battle of ideologies: Rust wants to be safe, and as a part of that it prefers to Panic than have undefined behavior/memory corruption.

Personally I would prefer my pacemaker to miscount a beat than shutdown completely...

There are some people who would prefer the purity of "Panic" on a memory corruption/error, and there are some people who are operating space craft and safety critical systems where a "Panic" could lose lives.

This is why I don't buy-in completely with claims of safety, when we've been using Assembly/C/C++/Ada/etc. for decades. It's a trade off and you're not going to stop cosmic rays flipping your bits.

Dropping 32-but was telegraphed for a decade, OpenGL still works fine on the newest Macs, and Rosetta has zero issue running x64 games.
So you’re suggesting we just let the financial and auto industries fail? There’s a cost to that too because once again, these industries provide value to society. Crypto provides no added value and wouldn’t even solve either of the problems you mentioned. And yes we could horribly replace our currency with it but there are zero benefits to doing that over the current system. The fact is it is not a currency and it is not a business providing value, so you are purely speculating on sentiment, hence it’s a ponzi.

It’s really simple guys, their investors need to come out sooner than later to establish the truth. This news seemed to be strategically issued post FTX so the news would be out but FTX would still be the center of attention. Something fishy definitely happened. Their story doesn’t make sense.
Yes, I understand that. I don't think I've ever seen an Aussie with a grill that has a lid though? It's all flat grills.
> Sure, but saying a problem is undecidable when it is in fact decidable is also not a useful measure of decidability to me.

By your definition, all problems of the form “does program X have property Y” are decidable, because you can just simulate X on all possible inputs until it halts or cycles, and observe whether Y holds in each case.
Anyone who was forced to write Java code on Android at some point suffered extremely painful performance issues due to the Garbage Collector.

I never had any problems with manual memory management, it can be done properly and safely without a GC, so for me the presence of a GC in a programming language is a net loss.
They have a fix already and applied it to the Wikipedia clones. They intentionally ignore other content scrapers because they drive ad impressions.
It's rapidly becoming like it though. I don't know why, but the quality of comments is decreasing and more and more zero (see the comment you responded to) / negative value comments appear. The decline has become noticeable in the last ~half year.
Commodities have value because people use them and fiat has value because the government will take your property if you don't give it fiat so only crypto in your list is faith-based.

I'm aware of bluetooth issues, it's a similar experience. However, this is using the built-in trackpad and built-in display, and occurs seemingly randomly. The bluetooth issue made it initially very difficult to find any discussion of the M1 issue.
I had one experience with Go. It was slow because the GC kept kicking in. So we won’t use Go again in favor of time-tested C++. GC is a major reason we are using C++ over Go. In my mind it’s a half-speed language. I’m also very put off by Rob Pike’s “Look, we replaced C++!” attitude when he somehow doesn’t seem to grok zero-cost abstractions. C++ has plenty of issues, but it doesn’t have GC and it goes further, providing standard allocators: both PMR for convenience and most use cases, and statically, for truly zero runtime cost.
The Rust community is however, an excellent community to be part of.

And it's future proof. Everyone knows Rust is the future.

I'd say, for most college students, Rust would be the one you'd advise today.

> GP wasn’t making a formal statement, so of course there isn’t. They were making an intuitive judgment about which of two mathematical theories corresponds more usefully to the real world.

Ok, I see your points.

> This is a non-sequitur because the non-decidability of the halting problem doesn’t imply anything about whether cycle-detection algorithms are possible.

It doesn't?

I thought the halting problem was the problem of constructing an algorithm that decides whether a machine that runs an arbitrary program will keep cycling between states or not (which in the case of a Turing machine, includes the state of the tape).

If you say it's undecidable, it implies no such algorithm can exist.
It really is fantastic :)

The only option is to put many of these to replace old plant. Any other is not feasible due to its nuclear.

Even a small amount of bombing it can be used to threaten local or even there is anyway to hack dirty bomb threat to a city. Once security concern is in not just regulation, back to the hole. But if it is safer than mild one even if more expensive, it can still have some use.

I don’t get the fixation on the OP’s intentions. Let’s take it for granted that they are farming karma… by sharing content that we like. What exactly is the problem? That it’s simply not authentic enough for you?

Put another way, let’s say that receiving these internet points is enough motivation for someone to find and share content that I might like. Sounds like a jackpot to me, not something I’m going to get mad about. So i’m wondering what part of this is bothering you.
The idea of economic monopolies makes sense only for produced goods -- for example, diamonds, in which you influence what the market will bear by producing more or less. If you can get all the producers together to restrict supply, then they can charge higher prices because they are selling to a smaller subset of buyers (those willing to pay the most). But notice the coordination is never on price -- OPEC doesn't get together to say "We will all charge $90 for oil" -- they get together to say "We will decrease production by 1 million bpd". So price is the target but the actual control is not price, but quantity.

The point of a monopoly is to manipulate the price by increasing or decreasing production, and this is why you need a produced good. Actual prices are set by whatever the market can bear.

But there is no such thing -- even conceptually -- in a market for non-produced goods such as land. Now that doesn't mean they can't be in violation of some law -- maybe they were coordinating to exclude bad tenants based on a protected category or something like that.

But then you will first object, "The land isn't produced, but the structure on the land is produced" and then I'll say that if there was an accusation of collusion among homebuilders, then you would have a point. But not landlords (there are many examples of monopolistic practices in housing, but in the form of zoning regulations).

And then a second objection is "Renting also requires property management services to owners. Maybe there is a collusion among those providing property management to charge more" -- but they are charging the property owner, and it's a field with such relative low entrance bars that it's hard to imagine owners getting screwed by some collusion among property managers.
Just make a PWA instead.

Fortran us better than C and even C++ for its domain, high-performance numerical code. The guaranteed lack if aliasing allows for optimizations not always possible in C code. Built-in handling of stuff like complex numbers and even range types in modern Fortran (that is, supported for last 25-30 years), along support for parallelization, and with robust structured / procedural programming, is just the right tool for some jobs.

BTW if you run fancy modern stuff like numpy, you run quite some Fortran, because it includes, for instance, BLAS.
Why do people single out Xinjiang for this rather than trying to avoid all of China? The same CCP is in charge of Xinjiang and the rest of China, so isn't giving money to Beijing or Shenzhen funding the Uyghur genocide just as much as giving money to Xinjiang is?
The US Army also issues Gor-TEX branded jackets and boots. You get them your first week in the Army, and every year you get a clothing allowance you can use to get new Gor-TEX products.
The power structure is weighted against the employee with respect to the creation of these policies. That makes ethical considerations a bit murky, a person cannot work in society without working under policies of this sort, there is no free market of labor to allow for competition etc.

So the real question is, is it unethical to violate a code of conduct that you do not regard as fair & equitable, applying unequally to the top C-level execs compensated by their positions on various boards of other companies but with comparable-- to your level of employment-- options closed off by corporate policy to common workers. Is it unethical violate that code of conduct when imposed upon you without recourse or ability to negotiate it.

I view this in the light of the philosophy of civil disobedience. I.e., a person may (or should) act against those prohibitions with which they disagree. Though also that you do so with eyes wide open on the potentials consequences of that disobedience. In the case of OE, that means accepting without complaint getting fired if an employer discovers the dual jobs.

I want to be clear though-- When I look on OE as a reasonable endeavor I do so only if the employee is actually doing the chunk of work expected of them in a satisfactory way. There's a lot of nonsense and busy work that can be cut out and efficiencies realized if a person puts their mind to it to perform a full time job's expected workload in well under 40 hours. WFH makes this even easier. I also would regard it as unethical to do this if the job is paid as an hourly wage. In that case there is an explicit contract to work $X hours. That's a bit more than just an employee handbook policy and I have a harder time reconciling sandbagging hours there even if you're getting the the work done because you explicitely agreed to receive $x for each hour of work performed. If it takes you less time, take the appropriate pay and find other OE work to fill your time or whatever you want. The key thing is that a person should do the work they agreed to do, otherwise you're just a scam artist.
It's great you've share this, I've been searching for something like it for a while. I've also struggling finding 'basic' wysiwgy builders, a lot of the existing solutions have trended towards adding as many features as possible.

My number one use is a three finger swipe up/down to change tabs in the browser, terminal, IDE, etc. BTT also includes a window manager that lets you drag apps to an edge to half-screen them or snap them to other window edges. It also allows you to create a custom notch bar or custom touch bar, along with many other little tools. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.
"Seems somewhat personal, but I will respond. Neither. I see myself as an outsider, which allows for a very different set of perspectives. For better or worse, I like the fact that I do not belong everywhere equally."

For what it's worth this is a particularly common worldview for a particular couple of personality/motivational types (of which I, and many other people in places such as HN, happen to be a member of one).

Tension: Why product development requires balancing conflicting goals
Only somewhat related but what I'd really like to see is an investigation as to why Firefox takes so long to acquire a connection on Linux.

I suppose it could be something particular to my setup but it is very slow in comparison to 'ungoogled-chromium' which I keep around as a second browser.

On the network tab I routinely find Firefox in a 'blocked' state for 100ms. On chrome this rarely exceeds 1ms. I've tried messing around with various configuration options and haven't found an answer. The end result is Chrome feeling much snappier.
Minnesota companies once dominated the supercomputer industry. What happened?
> There are plenty of times where I find several low severity vulnerabilities, none of which are exploitable alone, but which can be chained together to produce a functional exploit with real impact.
There's no guarantee any of your testers will find every issue, and there's no guarantee that a seemingly innocuous finding can't have a greater impact than might readily be apparent

Absolutely this. Security often has a different perspective as to how systems may be exploited together to create a systemic issue where none exists independently. Of course, this is often also where security fails in communicating exactly why these low severity issues must be corrected and facilitating an engineering discussion as to how the attack chain can be effectively disrupted and detective controls implemented elsewhere in the chain such that attempts to exploit are detected.

In short, the failure isn't in finding the threat but in dictating solutions without getting everyone involved in engineering the interaction in the room, so to speak.

I would be ideal to have security engineering as an embedded function representing red and blue team findings as systems requirements and acting as a single point contact in regards to security issues such that mutual trust and respect may be developed.
> Lately, it seems, it is not conservatives are not the ones calling for boycots, bans, deplatforming and demonetization.

Without getting too far into the weeds of partisan politics, I’m not sure how you got this impression.

Ask your local school board or your local library which political side spends more time trying to get media banned.

Yes, I completely agree. If you're working on a billable hours arrangement this whole OE thing goes out the window. If you sandbag and pad the hours billed that's just scam artistry & fraud.

You are not allowed to hold this opinion, or discuss it. Any option regarding transgenderism must equate, basically to "they were born this way". Choice in this matter is evidently not possible.

You are also not allowed to question whether this state of affairs is reasonable.

I am glad for this in general, but wonder how it's going to work and scale - given that tumblr censors more than twitter..

if activity pub is a two way thing - what it going to happen to naughty bits shared between the two.. comments and posts that are outside the allowed bounds of tumblr?

Will this be bot blocked? will there be a notice sent to the post-er and post-ee?

Very interested to see how this actually works, and how it works at tumblr.
...has the same problem. There have been a few years where DDG/Bing's results were better than Google's for me, but nowadays DDG gives me the same blogspam results as Google used to do. I've mostly given up on general search engines, nowadays I use only site-specific searches. That means I won't find out about new motherboards other than those from MSI and Asus, and I won't know about python tooling unless they're listed on pypi, or maybe I will know it because it once featured on HN.

I've never used browser bookmarks before -- it used to be that I would remember enough about a site that I could always find it in the first few pages of search results. Nowadays, for many things I don't even bother to search; if I forgot to bookmark it, it might as well never have existed.

Frankly, it sucks. The endless quest for monetization has made it so that a large part of the Internet is now no longer discoverable for me. I eagerly await the return of curated directories, either in usenet or activitypub form.
