>What makes the no-ip.org case extraordinary is that Microsoft a) persuaded the court that the domain was being used for malware, and then b) persuaded the court that because of this, rather than doing something normal like compelling its operator to take down the afflicted subdomains, or failing that compelling a third party to suspend the domain, that they should be allowed to take over DNS service for the domain.

This is a completely normal measure, simply taking down a domain is not nearly as effective anti-malware measure than sinkholing it. A sinkhole could in some cases uninstall the malware from affected computers, or at least identify their IP-addresses for notification purposes.

>Microsoft is not the law and they have no special legal status.

Exactly.

>If a domain is being used for cybercrime it's one thing, it doesn't mean any random party should get to walk into court, complain about it, and then offer to "solve" the issue by randomly appointing itself DNS provider

Microsoft is not a random party, it's a party whose business is directly affected by these illegal malware campaigns and has been repeatedly held to have standing in these cases.

Merging into core is not really needed for a feature; it just bakes it in. That's the point of emacs: it's made to be extended, no need to draw a line between a user and a developer.

LSP integration has been available for very long time, just not from the core emacs repo. For example, Ubuntu does not ship with Blender, because no official build of Ubuntu is available with Blender pre-installed in the iso, but that doesn't mean Blender is not available on Ubuntu. Emacs is a lot like that.

Similarly for tree-sitter. Available as a package for a while, only now also available built-in. An Emacs release is not needed to get a feature in Emacs.

Allegedly, long before my time, politics was seen as a calling, a way of giving back after a successful career. Not sure how much of that is based in reality, but from what I’ve read the option of politics as an entire career, without doing something productive first, has only existed for the last ~40 years

Musk's behavior in this whole thing seems far from competent.
The centrists of the Labour party conducted literal purges after intentionally
smearing their own party with fabricated allegations of homophobia and anti-semitism which they spread through the media[0]. Not to mention sabotaging campaign activities by directing resources away from swing seats.

There is certainly animosity from the left but largely due to the ironically Stalin-esque tactics employed by Labour centrists.

I find it frankly perplexing that people can characterise the leftist elements of the Labour party as the aggressors in these circumstances.

It's unlikely that Twitter has the (human) resources at this point to implement comprehensive censorship of Mastodon. They're currently only warning about links to popular instances such as mastodon.social, but links to smaller instances such as the one I use are still fine. One advantage of decentralization.
Assuming you mean an actual blockchain and aren't just using it, as some people seem to do, as a catch-all term for cryptographic signatures, it's expensive overkill. Social media really doesn't need to pay the brutal computational costs to solve the Byzantine generals problem. You don't need to establish an immutable record under adversarial conditions because there's no "double spend" problem. A simple synchronization mechanism for cryptographically signed posts (to prove authorship) is enough.

No, it's not.

Elon's jet receives a private temporary aircraft identifier unconnected to its owner every month, because it is subscribed to this program: https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/technology/equipadsb/privacy

This government program was specifically designed to hide the link between an aircraft identifier and the owner of the aircraft.

If the link between Elon Musk and the aircraft identifier he flies with was meant to be publicly available, why does this program exist in the first place?
Strategies to get out most of your toolsets
Twitter is both. The records hop from 'left wing bias' to 'right wing bias' over and over. Plus, the internet skews left-progressive, which makes even centrist views seem right-conservative.

For every case of ACAB you can find a case of white hate or man hate with loads of retweets left alone or soft-endorsed, with the opposite being flagged for ToS violation. Both those statements are far more dominant among far-left.
The US Supreme Court is a good example. It sits as an elite Guardian Council that over the last century has overruled the public on numerous issues, ranging from contraception to abortion to same sex marriage to the death penalty. These rulings are not based on law but rather moral philosophy—specifically the libertarian moral philosophy of elites.

Protection of minorities is not a necessary feature of democracy. It’s a feature of a specific type of democracy. In the American system, it’s a feature that initially arose because elites sought to protect their property rights from the masses through constitutional checks on democracy.

I just don't agree, a text editor/IDE should have user ergonomics in mind. The fewer steps there are between your spinning the IDE and having a working setup, the better it is for the end user.

Extensibility is important and useful but it also comes at a heavier mental load for users because it introduces complexity, and Emacs is already complex enough imo.

I think that the kind of people participating in the survey do skew the results but in any case... Emacs is thriving atm.

I've never seen so much interest in Emacs as lately. I've been using it since the late nineties, with a short XEmacs stint, and still use Emacs to this day. And it keeps only getting better and better.

I don't see Emacs as being doomed at all.

The most significant of these, the Commodore 64, had a social leveling effect as well. The Apple II and the IBM PC were essentially unaffordable for all but the well off. However, selling 10 million Commodore 64s at essentially 1/4-1/8 the price of the Apple II allowed a generation of working class kids to have upward mobility and real careers. Didn't hurt that in some ways the Commodore 64 was a better computer as well.

Yet nobody really showed how to solve p2p in a way that supports: moderation, not downloading massive amount of data, account recovery, safe protocol upgrades. For example scuttlebutt exists and the initial connection involves "This “inital syncing” process can take up to an hour and use a fair amount of data.", you can't lose your keys, and unless something changed, moderation is still just wishful thinking "Presently, there is a "flag" feature, which is an extremely strong negative signal. If somebody is behaving poorly, feel free to flag them."

I acknowledge that Mastodon is not perfect, but raising that as "badly designed and engineered" seems weird, when it's the most decentralised, actually working solution we've got.

It seems reasonable to define the "main Fediverse" as the set of servers that most other servers federate with. There are distributed blacklists of servers like https://joinfediverse.wiki/FediBlock, and I would not consider the servers listed there to be on the "main Fediverse" since they cannot communicate with many of the larger Fediverse servers.
I wonder what conclusion people want to draw from such a "survey". Whom does it represent? Only people who happen to know about the survey and felt motivated enough to work through it. I would therefore guess that it was highly networked Emacs power users and avid consumers of tech news who participated. -- It's hard to escape the echo chamber.
> (1) distract ourselves (2) give us the feeling of accomplishment

I agree. A lot of personal systems like this are indeed unconsciously used to (1) and (2). This is especially the case when you try to implement a very complex+generic one like this vault. I can guarantee 90-99% failure, albeit you may learn something along the way !

Also, it is not a "BRAIN". It is worth stressing that because It is a bad and misleading name (almost as bad as PKM)

But you are generalizing too much. The problem is the "just" in your "it's just procrastination."

The thread is pointing to many benefits. For ME, it is not even about productivity anymore. It is about "healthier" work environment (in research-intensive activities).

More than that, It is not even about "ME" anymore. It about creating better tools and systems in the long term. Obsession and Fooling-ourselves (at the "MICRO" level) is exactly what feeds that larger MACRO evolutionary dynamics.

> We're not really achieving or producing

Speaking of fooling-ourselves, I feel that getting things done itself (at any cost) is also sometimes just a way to distract ourselves and give us the feeling of accomplishment, and also to "avoid that pain" (all three you cited). We may also be fooling ourselves at occasions here too in our rush to “producing” and "“producing” stuff. just saying…

I agree that subcommunities are a useful feature. That only proves my point, though. The positive example you give, Discord servers, are a lot more like subreddits than they are like Mastodon servers. You can join multiple of them, the power of the moderator is local and doesn't affect your account as a whole. Discord and Reddit are of course centralized services, but in theory there's nothing preventing a decentralized system from having a similar feature.
> and without a generator or very powerful language features parsers will be too much work to maintain.

Hand-written recursive descent parsers are quite commonly used in production compilers (e.g. GCC, Rust). See e.g. here: https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/2546... They don’t seem to be particularly difficult to maintain.
Yeah, but it's not something you'd really want to use in production though.

The support for graphics depended a lot on the particular computer. The TRS-80 color computer had BASIC commands to draw lines, circles, and flood fills. Appleoft BASIC could draw lines. The C-64 had a great selection of block and line drawing characters you could type on the keyboard but you had to use PEEK and POKE to do dot addressable graphics. For that matter the C-64 had the best sound chip of any computer that that point but using it in BASIC was all PEEK and POKE.
Ah yes unicon. That ultra common word. So common, that gets autoincorrected to unicorn on my phone.
The features may be available in the new app, but your existing setup will break. Your existing relations and notes will break if they used any Obsidian specific feature, of which there are plenty. Any notes you use to dynamically summarize/organize/sort/filter other notes will break, and probably can't be trivially recreated in whatever app you switch to.

The most basic type of links, links to other notes, will generally work fine yes. But what about links to headings? Links to blocks? Links to attachments? Embedded blocks? Embedded files? The more you've used Obsidian's features, the more stuff will break.

Searching by tags is trivial. What about searching by properties? By done/undone status? By note attributes, by tasks, by attachments, by block-level searches? What about filters?

The simplest use-case being, if I simply want to view the list of all undone tasks across a set of notes on a separate app, sorted by priority, as I can now on Obsidian? Not trivially possible, as far as I know.

Reminders and any calendar-like functionality are definitely not carried over across apps, either.

Like I keep saying, if you limit your functionality to just markdown basics, it'll work fine. Start using the exclusive features of the app or even just the tasks plugin and it's no longer so simple. Something like the Kanban plugin is just impossible.

No. They sell product profitably. Who am I to say they're wrong? Same with their customers using the product profitably.

If they develop a business need to avoid similar issues before they happen, then the answer would be yes. The work they unwittingly skipped (like design for environment) and struggled with (diagnosing an environment problem) are the daily tasks for many people, so they obviously don't have one of those people.

This is pretty impressive.

I’ve been similarly impressed by ChatGPT’s ability to both absorb and playback strategic advice on complex games based on a snapshot mid-game scenario (eg Twilight Struggle) and more impressively to strategise in completely novel games that it wouldn’t be able to lookup rules or advice for.

For example I described an invented hidden identity party game and ChatGPT without further guidance inferred the dynamics and proposed great starter strategies depending on whether you were the “hider” or the “catchers” including deceptive approaches to fit in, lure out other players, cast doubt, play it cool etc.

It’s been a little trickier as they’ve nerfed its abilities as public uptake has increased, but the glimpses of underlying inference and intelligence is astounding.
Hi guys,

We don't see a lot of indie game developers on HN.

For those of you here who work on games, glad to connect.

We are launching our mobile game by the end of Q1 next year. We do see that there are 2 options:
- Launch ourselves on Apple & Google Stores: we'll have full flexibility in making decision for our own game, but will face challenges in marketing.
- To partner up with a game publisher, which can be a shortcut to reach to millions of players in a shorter time, although it'll come with a string attached.

Appreciate to hear advice/recommendations from you all.

At the same time, if you can, please support us on our upcoming launch page. We are currently ranked among top 5 in "Building in progress" on Product Hunt.
