This is all really subjective of course, but I dislike that that start button is small, search is big, and then applications are small again. However, perhaps eliminating the start button is in the future? Move the search button in place of the start button and its quite pleasing, to me at least.

I think you're making the mistake of assuming the amount he works per week is constant, rather than varying from 80 hours during hell year to 20 when things are going fine.

There are a LOT of sources on him having worked very long hours at points.
Which is why people who have an ounce of foresight and self-awareness build systems around themselves that mitigate their worst instincts.

This is the fatal flaw for every tyrant. They see the mitigation system as a problem rather than a solution, then their worst instincts get the best of them.
There's a big difference between how conservatives are calling the old order corrupt and criminal and calling for Jack et al to be arrested, vs complaining that Musk is being a clown and a hypocrite.
But let’s also not throw out the baby with the bathwater in the _opposite_ direction. We should not be reliant on Russia for energy to such an extent that our economy gets destroyed when a Russian tyrant goes on an ego trip. We should not be allowing Chinese entities to own our energy infrastructure. We should not be allowing foreign nationals to buy up massive amounts of property in London with shady money, distorting the property market for normal citizens.

There is a happy medium somewhere in between complete globalisation and complete isolation.

Ask HN: Do you read books about frameworks?
Hello everyone!

I’m a business informatics student and working part time for a company as a web developer.

I started to read books about Programming as I started my university. But I noticed that I need books for remembering things that I read. I’m now buying a book every month and can freely write notes and stick the little colorful things on them to highlight a page.

I made a list of books but I noticed that there are few books about frameworks in my list. Like Spring In Action or Pro Django.

My question is, does it make sense buying books about frameworks or getting more high level books like The Clean Code, Design Patterns or maybe both?

> This kind of friction at even getting started doesn’t bode well for Mastodon’s success - forcing people to pick a server: how do they choose?

How do you choose anything? On joinmastodon.org/servers you're presented with filter options and descriptions. You look at the descriptions and pick one you think you'll like. If you don't, you can do an account move. Plenty of people will be happy to help.

Personally I'm perfectly fine with making people think twice if they're not willing to invest the time to find a server. It's ok - they can pick something else if that works better for them.

> Or else that it gets “defederated”, and hence you get effectively banned, because someone else disagrees with moderation decisions of the owner which are nothing to do with you personally.

This is a highly exaggerated risk unless you go out of your way to find a server full of racists or other people that should instantly make it clear to you it's likely you'll face blocks. Some people will insist this or that mainstream server is banned everywhere (e.g. some say that about mastodon.social), and in reality unless the server is obviously bad it often turns out to be a few inconsequentially tiny instances which block them. Look at the list of banned instances on a handful of servers and you'll see that most places it's not very long and most of it is made up of a core set of common culprits. None of which are listed on joinmastodon.org/servers - it takes effort or really bad luck to end up on a server where this is a big issue.

> then your friend asks you how to join Mastodon, you direct them to the server you use, but it is closed to sign-ups due to popularity, so they have the same issue.

It's an issue particularly now because signups are 10x-20x normal because of Musk. It's a scaling issue which will go away, as the number of new instances is also rapidly going up and people are addressing it. Additionally, if you e.g. go to mastodon.social and press "Create Account" you're offered an explanation and linked to joinmastodon.org/servers to pick another one.

> I can’t be bothered. I’m sure I’m hardly the only one.

That's of course your choice.
Most people get given an email by their workplace, school or ISP. Or there are big corporations like Google and Microsoft offering them (for free and paid). None of that is true for Mastodon now, which makes it not “exactly the same thing” at all
Hello Elon. Nice to meet you.
What's going on with this obsession over Musk? Calm down, it's just another social network, it might fail, it might not, but please ask yourself, what is so important about this that you are willing to invest so much time in it, so much effort stalking the guy? I'm worried you are not okay, please take a step back.
No, mostly the increasing association and listening to more right wing people as the left wingers ostracise him.

The belief in a great leader is something all political tendencies can fall victim to. But I think only the left took to heart the failures of the authoritarian “leftist” leaders of the 20th century. Now anytime a leftist leader reaches prominence they are subject to endless purity tests from the left. Not so on the right, which is odd because they’ve had their share of genocidal dictators.

I’m reminded of an anecdote I heard from an Italian commentator on the recent election of a neofascist leader: “Many Italians still seen fascism itself as a stigma, but convinced themselves that she [Meloni] was not a fascist or racist because she is representing the new tendency, which rejects the letter of the old fascist policies while arguing for the spirit.”

The threshold of creative input we require for such a claim is higher than "More than zero"
> It's a MS product, and if they want a "Search" label, they are free to add it.

Are you seriously arguing that entirely switching OSs is the correct approach to solving this as opposed to asking how to remove the undesired behavior? Are you totally against individual customization of a user’s OS or sonething?
Individual fediverse nodes can implement whatever moderation policies they like, and are free to defederate from nodes whose policies they disagree with. So it's not really "uncensorable".

This whole article could also have been written from the opposite political direction, it seems.

Is it an argument against downvoting in general? Or just paid-only downvoting I guess.
The content was a lot better than the headline.
This is about the new Twitter policy of letting people pay to remove content from trending and high visibility portions of the site. The feature is that if an account that paid $8 a month, it has the ability to downvote your post's visibility.
People used to have problems with this ca. 25 years ago (I ran an ISP back then, and it was difficult for people). It took a couple of years and then enough knowledge had diffused to enough people that anyone who struggled just asked a friend and got walked through it.

If Mastodon is successful the same thing will happen again.

> that is case where the exception proves the rule.

On the contrary, I think this exception disproves the rule.
Here's a few points to add to that:

1. You should not keep more than one internal CA.

CA infrastructure tends to sprawl, multiply, and creep around the organization unless properly pruned. They will also quickly diverge in certificate issuing rules. Better to use the one you hopefully already have, and secure it well. Lots of eggs are in that basket anyway. The article is a commercial for their product, but there are plenty mature ones out there. FreeIPA is one.

2. You should renew certificates well in good time until they expire.

As long as the certificate is issued internally and fulfills the rules of allowed certificates, let Ansible/Puppet or similar tool renew them. Just make sure applications gets restarted when the certificate is rotated. Defining it as a configuration item helps everyone.

3. Any certificate that hits disk should generate monitoring.

Because renewals can fail, and you really want to know in advance if certificates haven't been rotated properly. There will always be special cases and externally created certificates too.

That’s fantastic. A little late but fantastic nonetheless.

The funny part is that they’re essentially arguing for you to leave now because you might not get as much engagement later… and instead you should go to their platform where you will definitely not get as much engagement and you’ll have a bunch of vague arbitrary rules applied to you that will require you to only use pre-approved speech.
I don't think Mastodon has any chance of overtaking Twitter. Here's how I would do it:

Create basically a clone of Twitter, with the same UI and functionality. The goal would be to make transition as seamless as possible. I have no interest in learning about why Mastodon works, why it runs on multiple domains and getting used to its UI. I just want Twitter without Elon.

Make it possible to easily transfer your data, including the people you follow. You would be able to see which of them are on the "new Twitter" and get notified when they switch.

Be inventive in making people convert. Perhaps organize a coordinated switch of many high-profile users to generate a lot of media attention. Or provide incentives such as some sort of ownership share.
I am familiar with ring 0. Familiar enough to understand how stupid it would be to put a browser there. You don't need that many syscalls if you know what you are doing.

I don't see why you posted this? The poster specifically asks for compelling reasons, because they know about the downsides that "punch you in the face". This diverts the conversation back to "windows 11 bad" instead of actually commenting on the content of ape4's comment.

Let's consider some simplified cases.

A. I get a copy of ChatGPT's code (via some legitimate means) and train it exclusively on my written work. I argue that all output from the dsr_%_ChatGPT instance is derivative from my work. I assert that when I prompt it, the results are also my work. Further, when someone else prompts it, the results are infringing on my work.

B. Same as A, but I train it 50% on my written work and 50% on jacquesm's written work. I assert that when I prompt it, the results always infringe on jacquesm, and if jacquesm prompts it, the results always infringe on me.

Does anyone disagree with either of the above?

> pissed off incumbent powerfuls

Musk is monetising fringe anger at our elites. If I run an influence campaign, I’m sure as hell going to pay Twitter tens of thousands of dollars to silence my opposition.

That is good for Twitter and good for me. It is good for the incumbency (who do you think benefits from a vote-by-wealth scheme). It’s terrible for public discourse. And it does nothing for the fringe.
After waiting for 22H2 I finally upgraded (in place). It feels faster and looks like my 16gb of ram fill up slower which I attribute to improved memory management. All my multi device Bluetooth issues are also gone (had problems with Bose headphones disconnecting, Bluetooth keyboard not working a times using Windows 10).

I did install startallback so I can have vertical taskbar and modified registry to bring the Windows 10 right click menu back (which to be fair to Microsoft wouldn't be needed if my other software would use the win 11 APIs to add options to the menu)

Generally my experience after 2 weeks is good.

Paid downvoting has interesting incentives problems. For example, it's very attractive to foreign adversaries who want to amplify their own content via exclusion, or remove content they deem contra to their interests. These are issues with downvoting in general, but tying it to cash promotes the voices the with the most money.

This is the sort of thing that Elon rails against the mass media doing.
> A password or a private key are security by obscurity.

No, they're not. You could think that if you're trying to guess what the term means, but it means something specific that is the opposite of basing your security on a specific secret that is decoupled from all implementation concerns.

>> Security by obscurity is the reliance on design or implementation secrecy as the main method of providing security to a system or component.
Every one of your complaints about individual servers apply to Twitter as it is already, and some of them I see as features. For instance, not completely losing your community because Twitter or Discord or whatever parent company decides one day you don't belong there.

You can move accounts to a different server if you stop liking where you're at, which is a feature nobody has elsewhere it seems.

I view Mastodon as if Twitter, a Microblogging platform, and IRC had a child.

Let's take the reverse tack though, and agree with your opinion that it's a clusterfuck. Twitter should be threatened by Mastodon because they're losing users to it in spite of all those "problems".
They shouldn't have the same rights? Just because someone is less technologically aware today, you think it's OK to start stripping away their rights? That's like saying poor people shouldn't be allowed to own a house because they won't be able to afford the maintenance.
Dang, you are a patient moderator. I know I'm walking on thin ice here, and have not forgotten our previous interactions. Your reminder to not switch topics has been greatly beneficial to my discussions here, and off site. Regrettably, I cannot change my tone on these topics.

A statement like "if they don't want to commit suicide, then suggesting it won't have an effect" does not deserve "curious" conversation.

I have attempted to use HN for curious discussion. A perusal of my most recent comments includes the AVR-GCC compiler, carrier override of cellphone settings, Montessori schools, ChatGPT, content moderation, failures of renewable energy, and humanity's propensity for counting in 1,000's.

Admittedly, the content moderation and failures of renewable energy were not received well, and were slightly contentious. But I do not see this as primarily using HN for ideological flamewars.

You are correct that my comments here are "battle mode-y". Frankly, because HN has become swamped with things that aren't about tech and curiosity, given the sisemic political shifts in the country. Daily there are topics about assisted suicide being wonderful, calls to play Russian roulette with psychoactive substances, ministries of Truth being the greatest thing ever, and Google flagging "black owned business" being a marvelous idea, and anyone who thinks otherwise is a bigot.

These ideas herald the end of society. They receive accolades from the userbase, and attempts at serious discussion are downvoted without so much as a reply. In short, there is already an invisible ideological battle occurring, for which there are no repercussions.

Must I feign curiosity? Must I simply ignore it?

If those platforms hasn't been configured with the most basic things such as the company CA, there's going to be lots of other headaches too, including security.
