Better security for sure. Bitwarden is a massive target while I am not. The chance that bitwarden has a databreach is way bigger than the chance that my server gets hacked. No one cares about my server, I am nobody not worth attacking. As long as I don't leave any big holes that can be found by an untargeted attack (which I won't, I run everything behind a personal VPN) it is safer.
Andrew Jackson was basically Joe Arpaio crossed with Nixon.

Something that no video pinball communicates compared to a physical table is just how violent it is. The force with which the steel ball is launched deflected and bounces is really quite visceral.
Iraq, as bad as is, has a functional government -- despite the US's best efforts to botch nation-building.

There was a terrible civil war that killed far more people than the actual invasion, supported by a lot of outsiders and targeted at civilians. But as shaky as it was, the government remained.

Russia wouldn't have the dubious benefit of American nation-building, but honestly is probably better off without it. The fact that there are nukes on the line is awful, but in the end the next dictator would face the same mutually-assured-destruction math that Putin does.

A scarier scenario is Afghanistan, where the government we set up failed the instant we left. It was replaced by the same guys we kicked out in the first place, and is now fighting its own terrorist insurgency (who are also our enemies, for that matter). If there were nuclear weapons in Afghanistan they would almost certainly have been used already -- against each other.

Russia is, hopefully, a bit more like Iraq. They have the outline of a functional government. It may or may not fall to a dictator; that would depend on the circumstances of Putin's downfall. But the biggest thing to fear there is a failed nuclear state, even more than the specifics of who runs it.
The worst offense is that the taskbar, which now is forced into removing labels and forcing grouping of tasks. Gone are the days of clicking Firefox(Window 1) and Firefox(Window 2), they've just copied the mac dock.

Yes you can use registry hacks/tools from github to get the functionality back... but this is just unacceptable.
The thing that will need to match is the name/DoB on your passport and your file with SSA. You will need them to match when you have to get the window attendant at SSA to help you figure out why your monthly social security check is wrong. Good luck proving you’re you when the records are 40 years old and 6 states away.
I worked triage ops for a private bug bounty platform when the war kicked off. We immediately embargoed all of our Russian researchers. Most of them were doing really excellent work for us and were very talented, top contributors to a number of programs. I suppose the look of "paying Russians" was just too unpalatable for our leadership.

Said researchers are active on Twitter and have since turned to openly posting about cybercrime. Sad turn of events all done in the name of "Ukraine good".
Was there any evidence that the nicotine was what helped, rather than the smoke or something else?
ChatGPT vs. Stack Exchange
Yeah, I have been playing with ChatGPT, and it is amazing and lots of fun.

However, it mimics patterns it finds in the corpus of text it has been taught on. However it lacks basic understanding of the semantics, the meaning and connections, behind the words it mashes together. Give it a long prompt and ask it to write a story where John lisps and Suzy barks, and it doesn’t understand what John or Suzy really represent. It has a superficial understanding of words, like an alien that has read a dictionary and thesaurus.

Note: My text above scored 99.94% “real” using https://huggingface.co/openai-detector/ and I didn’t edit it to improve the score. Your comment scored 97.81% real (admittedly the detector doesn’t work very well on short texts. I tried removing some cliches from your comment but I failed to improve the rating).
> So you’re suggesting that a main feature of US food culture is shit bread?

I don’t know if GP was suggesting it, but it absolutely unironically is. At least from the perspective of anyone who thinks of bread as a standalone element; bread as a neutral canvas for other elements is fairly central to, at least, many of the distinct American food cultures.

Not all comments need to be about contributing to the discourse. Jonstewart is not trying to rebut an argument or to make a different argument. All they are doing is giving some background on the organization that might be relevant to their motivations for writing the article. If you have a position on academic admin reform that you would like to discuss, this is not the comment thread for you. Instead, this is the comment thread for me, who read the title and was vaguely interested in the implied subject matter, but decided not to read because I expect the source to be pushing an agenda that I wouldn't agree with. It is just not that important to me to be informed about this, so I am not going to choose a source that I expect to be biased as my only source of information.

Now, I could picture a different situation, one where, say, I have thought a lot about academic administration, what purpose it serves, how it could be better. Where I have studied the available data on the topic and formed opinions. Then, I would read the argument despite the expectation of bias, because I want to use all the information I can find, and engage with all the arguments that other people are making, even the ones that are pushing an agenda I disagree with. Maybe I would even read it and find I agree with the argument, and update my beliefs. Maybe I would come to the comments to post how my experience and knowledge fits the argument, or conflicts with it. But that is not me, so I'm trusting the expectation of bias and moving on.
Awesome, this is so cool! I remember MacOS 9 with a mix of fondness, hatred, and nostaglia. OS X was definitely a big improvement when it came out (I remember OS 9 having so many crashes), but some of the charm was definitely lost.

And these .app domain names you're all using in this space are great and totally apt. I love to see great usages of my work in the wild like this.

Ask HN: Tools to declare typed structs across languages
Hi HN, Can someone help point me in the right direction? I'm looking for a tool to simplify the code generation of typed structs across platforms. This (boring) tool would allow me to:

1. Declare the schema of many data types

2. Use the schema to generate structs from those data types in multiple languages (Golang, Typescript, Dart)

3. Easily serialize and deserialize those types to and from JSON

My Google-fu seems to be pretty awful because I cannot find a single tool that allows me to declare a type schema without it also being an alternative to JSON.

Any boring solutions out there?
Are you sure nicotine is the active ingredient here that's mitigating the COVID? It's certainly what smokers crave but the COVID virus could be affected by some other part of the smoke.

When there are more cyclists on the streets, car drivers are used to taking care of them, so its safer for the individual cyclist.
Also, for many people, being safe includes not getting stopped by police. It's a different kind of safety, yes.
This isn't really hard to see, so i think your hate of clickbait is clouding your vision. There is no deception, mandatory helmet laws make cyclists less safe. At least that is the authors opinion.
107 already? Isn't Firefox and Chrome on a similar number despite having a 5 (?) year head start on the stupid number inflation game?

Here are my issue notes so far: https://github.com/simonw/advent-of-code-2022-in-rust/issues...
Yeah I'm a firefox user and I don't click on posts about chrome. This is just a guess, but maybe everyone left using firefox does so because they believe in a free and open web and privacy and wish for firefox to succeed, but often feel disappointed when many news about firefox seem like step backwards. I for one am ok with how firefox is right now, it could be better, I hope that mozilla invests more in firefox, but I'm still holding out for alternatives like ladybird even if they are years away from being a usable alternative. Anyway just my 2 cents
It's easy to interpret the headline as telling you what the article is actually saying...if you already know what the article is actually saying.

But my initial reaction on reading the headline was: "Huh? They're saying wearing a helmet makes you less safe? That doesn't make sense! A helmet protects your head." I suspect I'm not alone (at least one other poster in this discussion has called the headline "deliberately deceptive clickbait", which is an even stronger claim than just "clickbait").
The account re-posts what other people voluntarily put on the internet. I'm not aware of any self produced content.

You can question if its ethically appropriate to re-post these stuff as it frequently seems to be from people with severe mental problems. The claim however that people get death threats because of that account is silly. If something causes people to send death threats then if more people see it it would result in more death threats but that is not the fault of whoever made it visible. If this is the hill you want to die on then you should advocate for total censorship of everything since everything could trigger some unstable or evil person to send out death threats.

So then then question here is why do you write comments on HN? It's dangerous! Your posts and the posts you help push could increase the number of death threats being send. I'm sure you dont care about that at all. You write and post whatever you want and feel zero responsibility for other peoples irrational (re)actions. Obviously that is how it should be.
> It felt like they cared more about attracting others than keeping us around

And worse, they weren't (and aren't) even attracting others, so their antagonism towards their long-term users was even less justified.
The "re-analysis" just does a bunch of ad-hoc adjustments to make the study underpowered. You could make literally any scientific paper show no effect by doing the same thing.
What would be the point of including that detail, besides creating division where half the readers go "of course, the police are so bad to Black people" while the other half go "doesn't affect me, who cares" ? We need less stoking of racial divisions, not more.

Rather than pointing out every way that the victim may differ from the reader, we need White / suburban / upper middle class voters to realize that these same injustices can just as easily happen to them and their loved ones, and that they will be in the exact same powerless position regardless of their skin color. The class division isn't Black vs White - it's police vs non-police. Then we might get some reform.
What a shame. I've lived in a rural areas for most of my adult life. FM reception is notoriously poor due to the terrain. AM repeaters were always a nice touch. Also worth noting that AM radio content is absurdly easy to support and transmit.
K9 already exists today if you want to switch which is "thunderbird for android" with a different name, but what do you mean with sync feature? That it shows notifications, or fetches all your email for offline reading or so?
Wow that's powerful stuff!

In a way of seeing it, ChatGPT can be a great teacher because it can both provide subject knowledge and force you to be very critical about content you consume.
You can always set copies=2 to work around block-level failures on important datasets.

Beyond that, you still get all the other ZFS goodness for management, snapshots, compression, zvols, error detection, send/recv, and so forth. Best of all, you can always throw another disk at it and convert to a mirror if the situation changes.
I asked it to write AC/DC's next song, and while I admit I led the witness a bit, I eventually got it to this as the chorus:

(Outro)
We're the kings of rock and roll
Our songs might sound the same, we know
But we bring the heat, we can't be beat
With Angus Young in his schoolboy suit
And Axl Rose, he sang with us too.

FWIW I use Avis (same company, higher price tier) and also have zero of those kind of issues.

I actually usually use my Global Entry for TSA now. I lost my driver's license once at the airport and my Global Entry card is the federally-accepted ID I don't otherwise actually need.

Funnily enough I was able to fly without an ID when I lost my license--which was surprisingly hassle-free. But I had a hell of a time checking into my hotel.

Aside from the sibling answers, Markdown, though originally intended solely for HTML output, is useful for writing other types of documents; I've written an e-book which was eventually destined for PDF format as a series of Markdown files. I could have used HTML instead, but aside from being more difficult to write, Markdown's document orientation solves some problems with that (should the HTML-to-PDF translator handle CSS and evaluate JavaScript? How does it deal with <audio> or <video> tags?) by not making them a possibility in the first place.

Similarly, for things like comments on message boards or blogs, a user can just dump a bunch of text into the text box without knowing the first thing about Markdown and expect it to look more or less like how it was entered, with paragraph breaks and such. If you force these people to use HTML instead, you're forcing them to at least learn and use <p></p> - which is probably simple for those of us reading HN, but I don't consider it a reasonable request for the normies on Reddit.

So, sure, HTML is quite good at what it was invented for, but not everything that involves text input on the internet or elsewhere should be HTML.
That's very nice, well done!

For a moment there I had hoped that maybe it would solve the problem in the opposite direction: I'm typing the master password so mechanically when I'm on my laptop, that I really struggle to remember it when I have to type it on a screen - to the point that I must go sit at a computer open a notepad, let muscle memory take over and then look at the screen to see what I typed /facepalm

Anyway, in all seriousness, while this is a scenario that happens very rarely, it still makes me wonder if it would be possible to do the pasdwordless login the other way, i.e. authenticate the phone using a trusted laptop (maybe a fingerprint enabled one)?
You wouldn't even have to do that. Command disablement systems (CDS) were purpose built for this.
I don't think this is possible? You can do a stock split but existing shareholders automatically get an increased amount of stocks so they don't lose any value. GME actually did this in the summer so every shareholder got 4 stocks for every one they previously had.

If you could just issue additional shares willy nilly without adjusting the shares of existing shareholders everyone would take their money out of your company and no-one would put any into it because you'd have devalued the original shareholders investments overnight and subsequently you'd no longer be trusted. You would be bankrupting your company.
Which is worse, a mile wide fireball in the sky or a mile wide impact? Seems all bad to me.
> Mozilla has made some dumb mistakes here and there but it pales in comparison to the very serious threat that Chrome, and Chromium in general has to the free web and to users.

Avis is at least. They are the same company that owns Budget, but on the more premium price tier.

Does Putin have cancer and parkinson's?

Does Russia have the military strength to keep Belarus in the fold and keep control over Georgia, Chechnya, etc, and keep Kazakhstan, Armenia, Azerbaijan under their influence?

And Ukraine now has a national identity, patriotism, and a very modern army, and deep roots of cooperation and trust with the west. The US has always wanted a major influence satellite by Russia (besides Turkey), and holy crap do they have one with Ukraine. Ukraine will be the beneficiary of military and foreign aid for decades now.

If this was 100 years ago (as in no nuclear weapons), Ukraine would be a direct threat to Moscow. You chew up the best regular forces your enemy (whose capital Moscow is, what, a couple hundred miles away?), and you make them dip into reservists, while you build out a superior, better equipped, better trained, better motivated army, you know what happens historically?

Without nuclear weapons, I wouldn't be predicting Ukrainian victory in terms of repulsing the current invasions. I wouldn't be predicting they retake Crimea.

I would be predicting Ukraine would take Belarus, Moscow, complete control of the Black Sea, and all of Moscow's imperial, uh, Federation Members would break away. And likely all of Russia would become a vassal state of Ukraine.
Honestly, I just restarting playing World of Warcraft, and even tho there have been amazing tech improvements to Blizzard's engine and servers, there is so much simple stuff lacking.

I would honestly say it's likely better for game server developers to be taking ideas from web development.

When it comes to CRDT's everyone keeps talking about text-editing, honestly one of the hardest problems for a CRDT to solve. Text is entirely unstructured, requires extremely high precision on the merge of any conflict.

With a video game instead, players already used to "rewind and replay" merges, they are already used to having a "miss" when it should have been a "hit", and they roll with it because while that is friction it's a game and precision isn't that important. I'll say differently, precision is already not what game servers provide.

At the end of the day, game servers are "just" low-latency chat applications with "bots" that process the messages. I'd love to see the game server written by the maintainers of WhatsApp / Messenger / Slack / etc. That would be a truly scalable game!

P.S. If you think "chat is so simple, can't compare it to a game server". Please just think through the design for FB's / Discord's display widget that shows "currently active friends".

Probably the Odyssey Blue, which uses a Celeron rather than an Atom CPU. I disabled the fan so it is silent, and the temperature stays very stable (and pretty low). It’s a wonderful device. I’ve programmed the Arduino and use it with Home Assistant (serial sensor). My Odyssey Blue is virtualised using Proxmox and also runs OpenWrt (router), Home Assistant, UniFi Controller, Plex, Transmission, CUPS, SAMBA and more. It still has plenty and ram and CPU left too, if I only I could think of anything else I want to run on it.

How 'goblin mode' became Oxford's word of the year
A lawyer would be a negative towards the defense he’s already playing which is the “idiot defense”. [1]

If he acquired representation it would make him appear to:

1) be aware that he did something wrong

2) make his idiotic statements unreliable going forward as a lawyer would filter his statements

3) give the prosecution enough to work with to break his idiot defense.

This is all part of his plan to evade accountability and prison time.

I remember when I first learned that butter is more than "just butter". In my case I was at the local import shop and the guy working the cheese counter offered me a sample of some cheese he was recommending. I said "oh that would be good on a slice of bread with some butter and a bit of thyme". His response was "of course, but which butter?", and proceeded to walk me through a rapid crash course in butters with samples. I remember it well because we ended up with a group we called "butter club" - a group of foodies that took turns hosting dinners and all recruited by the question "of course, but what type of butter?"

Such a fun little slice of "the world is a big place".
