Oh okay. Missed the joke. Killing off the notifications feature on the account of a few rogue actors doesn't seem like a reasonable measure.

Though ironically even if we are to take your example, I would consider advertising in this scenario to be harmless compared to receiving malicious phishing links in your notifications. I believe those 2 websites would never stoop that low.
> Nix can install multiple versions of a program but only one can be in use at any given time.

That’s not really true and is only a limitation of how PATH works on UNIXes (the first match is used). But you can for example add an aliased name for multiple versions of the same package, or for another meaning of use you can have different executables in the same environment different versions of the same lib (e.g. one bash script references python3, the other python3-at-specific-patch/minor-version/whatever)

Every CEO tells politicians to give them more money, that isn't evidence of shit other than being competent.
It's always about incentive misalignment. As an employee thinking Company first will improve the bottom line for the company. As an executive thinking company first may well eliminate me as an employee.

Why should an employee put the company interests above their own with that incentive alignment? The company should work to make the company's interests serve the individual interests of the employees

I don't know if there is a name for this flavor of "sorry-not-sorry", but it's upsetting that a professional writer would engage in it. The wormhole did not have to be a full blown "science fiction" gate that people can "fly through" for the article to have been accurate. It could have been a nanometer-sized space that existed for a microsecond, across which a single bit of data was transmitted.

Plastic is generally defined by its mechanical and thermal properties and a dominance of polymers. There’s are lots and lots of different chemicals used as plastics today and they have wildly different chemical properties. It seems incredible to state that “all plastics” are endocrine disruptors. Many plastics are essentially chemically inert in a biological sense. In some ways DNA itself can be seen as a plastic being a biopolymer if it were handled properly and in enough quantity. As an uneducated layman my intuition, and the links you provide, is that the additives and monomers added to plastic to modulate their mechanical and chemical behaviors are most likely to be the chemically reactive part that can be disruptive to our biology. I didn’t find a reference to a single plastic in your references. This applies to the leaching comment as well - I suspect you mean ph and temp increase the leaching of the additives from the plastic.

Am I right?

They seem really cool. But, I was reading the FAQ, and they claim it costs about $1 to process 80 searches. That seems extremely high. I would have expected that the up-front cost of creating and storing indexes is very expensive, but the cost of user searches to be so low that they're nearly negligible. Okay, it sounds like they lose money with each new added user
If they don't produce anything, there doesn't seem to be any value to capture.
And that's fine, the article only disables pop-ups that prompt to enable notifications. For those few websites which really matter, you can explicitly click on "shield" icon and enable it.

The key idea is that enabling notification should be an explicit actions, and have more consent than a single click.

And yet the dumbest thing you could have done in 2009 is make a Bitcoin transaction. People who used their bitcoins for buying pizza ended up paying a mansion's worth of money for extra pepperoni.

If the goal of Bitcoin was to be a currency it's a terrible one at that.

>A lot of young folks have been convinced that child birth can be put off more or less indefinitely

Young folks haven't been convinced of shit, it's just literally not an option. Most young people are barely scraping by, can't buy a home, can't rent a medium sized apartment, have terrible health care, unreliable or unpredictable scheduling, etc etc.

"Oh we made do in earlier times" Yes and a lot of the younger generations feel those scars every day, they feel the anxiety from not having enough money in the household, and develop scarcity mindsets that they will fight for the rest of their lives. Of course they don't want to do that to their own kids.

Let alone even being in a relationship at all, one that's stable enough that you genuinely believe you will be together for at least 20 years.

Young adults aren't putting off kids "to pursue a career", we are trying desperately to survive in a world that was picked clean by previous generations and kneecapped before we got a chance at it.

Use a browser extension like SingleFile to save pages you want to refer back to later to local HTML, then let Recoll index them.

If you have something doing this to every page you visit, and Recoll can see it, then Recoll can index it.

Regarding automatically saving every page you visit, there's multiple tools that do this. One I played with and liked - but I can't remember the name - it's 5 numbers and refers to a port you can type with localhost to search through all recorded pages. That or something like it would work really well with Recoll.
> or the most part, Nix can install multiple versions of a program but only one can be in use at any given time.

That's a bit hand-wavey. More precisely: when you run a command, like `python3`, you can only associate that with one file. If you want multiple Python 3 interpreters, you'll have to use different names (e.g. making symlinks).

Alternatively, you don't need to bother "installing" anything; e.g. I use Nix for projects which use Scala, Maven, Python, NodeJS, etc. yet I don't have any of those installed. Instead, each project includes a `shell.nix` file which specifies the tools it wants. Running `nix-shell` in different folders gives me access to different tools.

Also, with Nix we only need to care about the end result: we can "install" a bunch of different programs, even if they have incompatible dependencies, since we're not "installing" those dependencies. ("Install" just means putting a symlink in some bin/ folder, like /run/current-system/sw/bin on NixOS or $HOME/.nix-profile/bin on non-NixOS)

The garbage situation in Manhattan is ridiculous. Mountains of garbage appear every night. It’s not surprising that they have a rat problem. Plenty of other cities have addressed this problem directly. As far as I can tell, NYC simply does not have the political will.

It’s frankly an embarrassment. We advertise to the world the idea that NYC is one of America’s best cities, and the first thing that people see upon arriving is mountains of trash.
I dunno if it's fair to say "just be honest from the start" -- they might have genuinely believed it but had to face the reality because they set themselves up poorly with how they raised / their finances / etc.

Living in NYC with rats, I'm always reminded of Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle, where Jack Shaftoe is in Paris in the late 17th century and meets St-George, the city's preeminent rat-catcher. St-George explains how no one is never going to exterminate _all_ of the rats, so he instead only kills the bad kind of rats and lets the "good" rats live, in a sort of multi-generational rat breeding program. St-George says that he has been doing this for many years, and his father before him, and his father before that. Jack asks, "how do you know the rats aren't breeding YOU?"

Not even I can reliably read my handwriting.
An anecdote: My NYC neighborhood has seen a building boom over the past decade. As far as I can tell, every new building puts its trash out on the street.

Some particularly memorable examples include a 75 story residential tower with absolutely record-breaking trash piles, and a ~25 story residential tower with a trash collection point on the onramp to the Williamsburg bridge. Garbage trucks have to stop in the road to collect trash, manually, bag-by-bag, at every stop.

This is the policy for trash in NYC, and rats will remain a problem as long as it stays that way.

That makes sense, thanks. It sounds like a key difference is that Extism is trying to be portable to both web and standalone WASM runtimes. And maybe part of the motivation for a new WASI-like API is that WASI doesn't aspire to be portable to the web, and Emscripten's standard library only works on the web, whereas your system API is designed to be portable to both.
My Litmus test for package managers is the ability to install gnome, switch it out for kde and back. (Or starting with kde). One should be able to do that without accumulating garbage (packages that are no longer used, config files, etc), but so far only NixOS passes it (and I didn’t try but assume Guix).

Ask HN: Was I pwned? [resolved]
A few days ago, I noticed that my home network performance would degrade substantially to the point of being unusable. I would just power-cycle all my switches, and the issue would resolve for a while. It happened again this morning, so I decided to try to look closer at what could be causing the issue. That's when I noticed that my Linux desktop was doing a lot of traffic, and here's what I observed:

- My desktop has a private IP address, let's say 10.0.0.2.

- Running `iftop`, I saw all the traffic coming from a different source IP address, 10.0.0.3. It was transferring ~300Mbps.

- Running `tcpdump`, I saw that all of this traffic was going to a public IP address (AT&T). All of the source port/dest were ipsec-nat-t.

- I saw that `10.0.0.3` showed up as a client on my switch with a randomized MAC address (presumably, since I couldn't find the MAC prefix in a vendor list).

- I could not find any references to `10.0.0.3` or the random MAC address on my desktop (looking at kernel logs, system logs, ip a, ifconfig).

- During this period, my network was degraded (high packet loss across my switches).

It was at this point that I decided to try blocking the MAC address from my switch, and performance immediately returned to normal. I tried unblocking the MAC a few minutes later, but it has yet to return. That plus the fact that the issue happens at seemingly random times (especially the middle of the night) makes me think that it's not automatically connecting and instead being triggered remotely.

I've since disconnected my desktop from the network and am in the process of rotating keys. I'm especially perplexed at the traffic showing up from a different source IP on my desktop, but I did not see any interface that matched. I tried to look and see if it was potentially a VM running, but I didn't see anything in virsh. I did have Docker containers running, but I assume I would have seen the IP address show up on one of my interfaces.

I'm at a bit of a loss and was wondering if anyone has ever seen anything like this before, and if there is any suggestions for things I should check.

Why wouldn't the game end?
The only reason this is a problem is because the city refuses to use containerized trash collection (such as dumpsters). Turns out, dumping trash bags on the street for 12 hours 3-6 times a week is basically a free buffet for rats.

The US confuses the hell out of me sometimes.

How do you get to the moon and invent the internet, but can't figure out how to collect refuse in arguably your most prominent city?
First, it's NY, the dirtiest city in the world and planet earth's own asshole.

Second, if the city hasn't realized they need to introduce containerized and properly sealed garbage collection city-wide by now, they never will.
I think that assumes AGI which I don't believe is possible, or anytime soon.
