Just verifying that the release binary from github is actually the release binary from github you think it is, should be good enough.

The problem with `curl | bash` isn't that the upstream author might be malicious, or have had their working copy of the repo/compiler compromised. If that's where your problem is, yeah, you're kind of stuffed.

The problem with `curl | bash` is that you're not verifying that the thing you've downloaded is the thing that the upstream author actually released, unmodified, and uncorrupted.

Checking a hash is normally sufficient to accomplish this, and isn't overly burdensome or time-consuming.

If you're particularly paranoid, you might want to check the hash against a copy you've obtained from somewhere other than the server you downloaded the release itself from. You should be able to find a separate copy of the hash from a release announcement either from the author's social media, or maybe on a mailing list archive.

(If they're not posting hashes as part of their release announcements, start badgering them to do so.)
It's great for a command line editor. I don't know why anyone would use it in a desktop environment though.
We'll never know, honestly.

And if I'm being truthful, I struggle with evolution a bit. It's a bit like life. I understand how life could have eventually evolved to where we're at. But how did life _start_?

Any specific mechanism is explained as having evolved, but if so, how did it _start_?

For example, there's an HN thread explaining why bees die after they sting and why it's acceptable from a colony perspective. What put bee's on _that_ specific evolutionary track? How did it _start_?

I think a lot of people are like myself, there's a level of blind faith put into evolution. We obviously have witnessed it happening so we know it does happen, but there are so many things we can't explain for sure that forces us to have blind faith it happened via _purely_ evolutionary forces. like ... what if we find out some super advanced alien civilization seeded earth with life and managed it in some way, helping shape things. It would kind of explain a lot.

And so I continue to have blind faith that even if we don't have a concrete explanation for many of the things we see it happened via evolution, but I also understand the skepticism some people have for evolution being the sole explanation.
I went to the Denver one this year. Great speakers and great time, but not well attended. Maybe 40% capacity which was a shame for such a good event. In person events are hard now. I hope they come back in a few years.
These all sound like things that are plausible within the next 10 years, not 100.

In 100 years, I expect programming languages will be mostly obsolete, since computers will be able to translate natural language into machine instructions with 100% effectiveness.
What's unclear exactly? Also please stop putting words in my mouth nowhere did I say that the leak of 2632 of extremely personal and identifiable information is anything but massive and why do you not make your affiliation with the release and the CCC clear, Zach? Fucking child's play.
Fwiw non-inflammatory antibodies could still incapacitate the virii when they attach to their spikes, if they are enough concentrated in the blood.

So, what about it? Is this effect powerful enough to be helpful?
Conveniently, the solution is the editor that thousands of developers have taken time to improve over decades so that the author didn't have to start from scratch.

What are the odds that the solution involved a popular, mature tool that the developer could leverage?
i’ve replied above. they claim they do not read your emails.

regarding encryption i’ve only found this:

https://support.google.com/mail/answer/6330403?hl=en#zippy=%...

> Email encryption in transit
S/MIME is used to support enhanced encryption in transit, and automatically encrypts your outgoing emails if it can.

> Important: These steps only work if you have S/MIME enabled on your account
While I get what you're trying to say there are benefits to modal editing that learning all the keybindings in X can't replicate. It's difficult to explain and has to be experienced to fully understand.

As a quick example what are the vscode equivalents of I and A to enter insert mode in the beginning or end of a line? These small things quickly add up.
What do you mean by fair game? Is that true? Probably not. Should people be censored and prevented from talking about that? Absolutely fecking not. We have enough examples of medical misinformation coming from the most reputable sources to doubt their ability to impartially make decisions about what should and shouldn't be "fair game".

I just use PicoCMS and upload my markdown files through FTP. I don't think there's anything out there that can compete with the simplicity of this solution, not even static site generators.

It uses templates with Twig, and it's very simple PHP so you can host it anywhere.

I once hit the frontpage of a big aggregator from my country and it handled like it was nothing from a very cheap shared hosting.

From my Linux Mint laptop, all it takes is to open my FTP on Thunar (which involves a click in my sidebar), and I'm navigating it like any other file system. Right click, create file, write & format my post, and save the file.

Viola, it's published.

Oh, and you can mix Markdown with HTML and JS in your posts. Less stuff you need to learn.
What about the meta data?
i can't not explain in words what it's like to use vim for 20+ years, esp to someone thinking an editor is "just" a tool. my vim config changes with me...

for some the journey is never the goal.
If you swing a steel head framing hammer for 20 years, and then discover the lighter titanium one, I guarantee it will feel like nirvana. Tools matter.
No clue, but many people do.
To be honest, that Rust syntax looks pretty horrible for something as simple as multiplying a vector by a scalar.
Also depending on the product and legal requirements the latest possible DOB might be 13, 18 or more years ago.

This looks fantastic. I just started a podcast and was planning to test publishing with cloudflare since it seems much cheaper than the alternatives (and planning to backup to storj).

I will try this out this week!
I don't know about KZ policy[0], but in at least a couple of countries it's much easier to get asylum if one has reasons to fear for one's safety in one's home country.

[0] although it does seem similar to most countries', judging by the (commonly observed) fact that several of their international athletes started out competing under a different flag.
For PyCharm users, FYI using notebooks within the IDE with Intellisense and jupyter server management is available out of the box [0].

Southwest flies all the flights it markets, they do not contract regional carriers for any flights like all of the airlines SkyWest is contracted by.

Regional carriers typically operate smaller aircraft with less senior crew and sorta serve to expand the mainline carriers markets and also often serve to feed the mainline carriers experienced pilots for their mainline aircraft.
I hope they have good home insurance.

The rust docs don’t run UI libraries with any helpful output.
honestly, too little too late. I don't want SBF to go to jail. I want the US government to not be asleep at the wheel and arrest these awful scams before they explode. Party's over, everyone got hurt, who is this helping now?
Wouldn't it have just been easier to explain it than to lie to the public and then continue to deny and defend the lying after it's already been exposed?
Ask HN: Does HN Shadow Ban?
That’s the type of thing I was looking for. Thanks.

I’m curious about the circular reasoning as well, as the same would hold true for both preferences.

Do you mind sharing what language you speak where the day is most often said first? It sometimes is said that way in English, but not as often as the other way around. It’s usually said that way when the day carries higher importance than normal. Like the 4th of July or something.
It is tough calculus to choose a repair even if you do it all yourself. Say a 400 appliance. Its old so worth say 200 now. You need a 75 dollar part. There is some large chance the part you buy isnt quite the right variant you need or you screw up then install and then you just lost another 75 dollars and still no working appliance!
Learning vim has actually made it easier for me to use other IDEs and editors. Most of them have plugins that provide vim keybindigs for editing.

Many other programs loosely follow vim bindings. For example if you enable hotkeys in GMail webclient you can use j and k keys to move between emails, press / to search just like in vim.

In the comment you replied to the author was in an interview situation so they didn't have time to install any plugins.
no idea why this is downvoted
How would you prevent errors?
Rust! Polars/Datafusion are taking over, and for good reason.
Dryers; a new heating element or new bearing kit are about an hour of a job and $30 of parts.
It uses HTML as the base so accessibility is built right in. As we stray into more custom solutions, then we’ll use accessibility kit, but since in the short term it’s all rendered straight to the DOM, we get it for free.
Well yes they do. Even spam filtering needs them to read the emails. But they claim they don't use emails for advertising.
This especially. Glue ups are poorly done on a lot of Wayfare and similar tier furniture and the fascia falls off. The MDF fails when the legs support the weight at an angle.

I just repaired a dresser that had both of these issues with wood glue and finish nails for the fascia and bondo and a drill for the failed MDF foot mounts.

Cheap furniture will not stand up to many moves but you can definitely repair a lot of it for very little time and money.
Nice. I love silly things like this.

An example on the homepage would be nice.
Maybe something about Laika (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laika)
There was a stoplight right by one of my old apartments which never would detect my motorcycle so I’d always have to make a right and U-turn if I didn’t want to wait until a car showed up.

Never seen a traffic light that can detect a bicycle, I’d just ride up on the sidewalk and press the crosswalk button if no cars were around.
Yeah, I guess my point is that the categorization "prefer working with people" vs "prefer working with things" seems very weird. If I was a solo IT-entrepeneur I would likely work a lot with both! It does not even seem to be a scale between working more with things or more with people if you ask me.

And if there is so much grey zone that is open to interpretation, wouldn't that mean the study is rather measuring ones own perception of what they are working with?
After more than 50 years, programmers of all skill levels still make the same mistakes. I wouldn't bet any of this stuff will become mainstream in 10 years. The tech has to mature to a level where it's as easy to create an ironclad function as it is to make something in Scratch.
It is not specifically 5mhz CPU in truth. No pentium class CPU has ever been 5mhz in speed, and pentium has tons of more instructions that Windows require to function than actual original 5mhz CPUs had.
We use rust for data processing, etl and to serve apis directly from massive parquet collections using Polars. What would you like to know?
For most platforms relying on the browser’s webview is fine since most platforms ship with a browser! But you can always specify WebKitGTK as a dependency which I think is a one time 2GB cost.

Not necessarily same compiler. You can use clang and safely link to C++ libraries shipped by the disto, which are compiled by gcc typically.
If you are on the verge of throwing something away, better to visit a repair café! https://www.repaircafe.org/en/
Water heaters; supposedly, if you replace the anode rods every 5 years, most water heaters would last the lifetime of the house, versus many replace the whole unit in 10 years.
What lying? CDC et al never said masks don’t work. I don’t know how many times I need to repeat this.
"have animals" is very anthropocentrist
That's the trap with MBA and accountant ways of seeing costs and profit centers: They know the price of everything and the value of nothing. They are the people who laud executives that spin-off businesses like HP getting rid of Agilent, or IBM getting rid of the PC business, or companies cost cutting by closing research centers because they don't really understand how REAL economic value is built in the long run versus financial and accounting shenanigans devised to fool a market composed of short-term obsessed idiot-savants.

Gmail may not be very profitable by itself or even a net negative, but it is definitely a centerpiece of google's business.

For a sizable portion of humanity, Google is the default provider of their digital identity, something they leveraged even more with Android.
Similar reasoning might suggest the mathematicians of 2022 are 100% effective in writing proofs when compared to the mathematicians of 1922?
CS like other disciplines will be dominated by the climate change fallout for the next 100 years. One thing I think about is that for the entire history of computing there have always been more programmers this year than the last. The number of programmers on the planet has always been increasing.

What happens when that trend reverses? Better yet, what happens when the number of people who are capable of writing software plummets quickly due to a mass extinction event?

What kinds of systems will the survivors design and implement? How will the relationship between development and maintenance change in this new world?
The problem is not that people "don't trust others". The problem seems to be that some people "trust the wrong people" (according to some "experts").

The biggest problem with the so called "experts" is that they seem to think that they are automatically owned our trust. But there does not seem to be any penalty for getting things wrong (don't mask, mask with cloth mask, mask with n95).

It's also quite interesting that even the ancient people knew about different modes of persuasion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modes_of_persuasion

There was Ethos, Logos, and Pathos. The appeal to authority, to emotions, and to the logical truth of the claim. You need all of them to convince someone to something. Somehow modern experts think that the only thing they need is Ethos and enough legal might to enforce compliance.
I spent hours playing Duke Nukem when I was a kid. Based on my son's love for absolutely idiotic games, and the assumption that I was like him at his age, that may or may not say anything for its quality, but I have fond memories of it.
If @dang (I know @s don't work here) can update the link on the story, that would be great.
What is the pragmatic and non-conspiracy answer you are imagining? As I understand it, a group of people coordinating in secret to take actions that the public would not let them take if the secrecy were broken is pretty much the definition of a conspiracy.
I wonder, once talent hoarding ends, if we’re going to see a bunch of new companies hit the scene in 5 years?

Slightly unrelated, but I recently had to use an unexpected sentence: “my microwave is not booting”.

More related: the service person who looked at it charged about half of what a new one would have cost, so I understand how the economics often lean towards just replacing stuff.
You can already run Dioxus on an SBC. I’m not sure it’s realistic to run on an stm32 without some real limitations. IMO “everywhere” means everywhere in the physical sense, like desktop, mobile, server, AR/VR, handhelds, etc. we can’t support something like a Pic-8 ever, so it’s not worth trying to qualify that.
The tens of thousands of GPUs on salad.com would love to power this :)

Is this an example of a dog whistle?

Unspecified "Muslim people on Facebook" say something you are almost certain to disagree with.

No examples, no nuance, just a call to racism.
> Elm's state management paradigm was inspired by re-frame

Nope, it's the other way around
> I am pretty sure they were talking about the discrimination aspects that should not be celebrated

Except no one is arguing that we should be celebrating discrimination. The original poster said, "By these standards we shouldn't celebrate the NASA moon landings because [NASA probably had racists back then]". He's not suggesting we should celebrate racism, he's suggesting we should celebrate the moon landings and acknowledge those who achieved it despite the racism. The person I replied to literally said, unqualified, that those things are not worth celebrating. Since the only thing the original post suggested we celebrate is the moon landing, the conclusion is obvious.
There was a building in the outer Washington, DC, suburbs that straddled a county line. Somehow or another its status became subject to a vote twenty-five or thirty years ago--though the electorate eligible to vote on this must have been tiny.

And I did once meet a programmer who lived or had live in a house straddling the New York/New Jersey line NW of New York City. I didn't ask about the tax status.
out of interest, where is "here"?
I've dabbled in this a lot, and I don't consider myself a very handy person.

Cell phones are much more repairable than they seem. You can replace screens, batteries, USB ports, antennas, etc. A new battery and factory reset makes it seem completely new.

Laptops can often be repaired or upgraded, especially earlier MacBooks or current Dells. I've upgraded my old (2014?) MacBook pro and used it for daily use for years. You can even get NMVe converters and I've thought about making a usbC charge plug for them.

I've heard that swapping out the capacitors in TVs can bring them back to life. Haven't tried it.

I've brought baby equipment back to life, fixed janky strollers with 3d printed parts.

Try just repainting furniture. It'll feel new and costs maybe 10 bucks. Get some plastic wood to fill in cracks or holes, and you won't believe how much better things look.

I once got a baby high chair for free because they sent two left legs instead of right and left. I drilled out the appropriate screw holes to convert one to the right side and filled in the existing holes. That saved enough money to pay for the drill press I used.

Ifixit.com has become one of my favorite sites.
> Notably it doesn't solve anything about versioning.

It does promise backwards compatibility. How is that not sufficient?
Refrigerators can usually be repaired for much less than the cost of replacing it.

Same goes for washing machines/drying machines, or pretty much any other large appliance.

I've seen people throw out perfectly good soft furnishings simply because they didn't know how to clean them, and let outdoor furniture go to rot because they didn't bother treating the wood every year or so by oiling it.

Cookware also often goes to waste due to neglect or lack of maintenance - I know a few people who buy pretty expensive kitchen knives and never sharpen them, instead replacing them.
When I was young I could give myself a time to wake up and wake up at that time. As I've gotten older I've lost the ability.

But I would use it to get up 30 minutes early to play NES before school. My mother would make me go to bed at a specific time, but if I was working on a particularly hard spot in a game I'd tell myself to get up 30 minutes earlier and spend that time playing.

I also used to lucid dream very frequently. I'd recognize it as lucid dreaming and actually start manipulating the dream. What's always been interesting to me is that dreams have rules to them, so even manipulating them there are limits. Sometimes I could fly freely, sometimes I could barely get off the ground.

Also, past a certain point in my life I completely stopped having nightmares. A nightmare has a "feel" to it. Even if it starts off pleasant I recognize that feel and simply step out of it.

So, we may not have an explanation for, but it absolutely happens.
Dioxus renders HTML. Right now using WebKit, but in the future, its own engine with the same accessibility libraries that power the platform’s accessibility with the layer to get from HTML.
Quality slip covers can make a sofa seem brand new.
I find that using wood glue when piecing together for furniture you never intend to take apart again will go a long way to extending the life. I do this to certain IKEA furniture, which locks it up nicely and prevents downstream issues.
If you dig into the library a bit more you’ll find that it renders native HTML elements.
>This is a seller that had “100% perfect” transactions.

Won't save them, eBay will close their account after a couple of disputes like yours.
Ever heard or Equifax? After that beach I'm pretty confident the public will never care.
USA: "Federal ID would be literally 1984!"

Also USA:

> The entire population of Afghanistan was biometrically catalogued - supported by the German Bundeswehr. The motivation for this systematic collection of fingerprints, irises, faces and DNA was to enable the distinction between good and bad people. Programs such as the Automated Biometric Identification System (ABIS) were designed to identify known criminals, as well as local collaborators or Afghan security forces, at any time.
Vim enlightenment for me was learning to use it with all the default settings. Everywhere I go, it’s already set up just the way I like it.

Is that a relatively easy project for an average homeowner?
I used to do this for a product... I was finding that some of it was apparently happening asynchronously. I had a separate shell function I grabbed from the first, with all the functions. I eventually put a variable at the bottom of it with a sentinel value, and from the first script, would block until that variable got populated, before running the main function.

I think I'd always do it as an inline script. Admittedly I was slopping a lot of mud on the wall back then as a tactic.
My understanding is that N95 masks have a shelf life (2-5 years?), so stock would need to be regularly repurchased.

The bigger issue is the sheer cost of preparation against an exponentially-reproducing threat.

All other disasters can be prepared for with state of the art gear because they are, by nature, limited. Ergo, a limit amount of gear can be rapidly transported to location and will suffice.

In contrast, a pandemic requires "multiple for every single person" levels of stock. Which is outside most capitalist supply bounds (i.e. no one can even produce that much stock).
