Again, "a free speech violation occurred" is not my point.

my point is, billionaires saying "At last! free speech!" like PG did when he retweeted this MIT annoucement are completely full of it. They would like right-wing speech, ideas like "Black people are less intellectually capable" to be "free", which means "welcomed into the discourse without constraint", whereas any media company they don't personally like should be sued into oblivion. Gawker's fate only began when Peter Theil decided to target tens of millions of dollars at suing them into oblivion, waiting for something to stick. It quite plainly set a precedent that such actions can be taken by any billionaire whenever they want. Billionaires like Theil, PG and quite plainly Musk do not give a flying f** about "free speech". it is their speech they care about. And they should be widely challenged on this.

Gawker was not fined $140 million for violating a court order. They were sued for damages by Hulk Hogan and Hogan could have sued for the same things even if they had complied with that order, and I am not familiar with what basis there is to claim this lawsuit would not have been brought or successful if they had complied; even if unsuccessful, Theil's goal was to continue flooding Gawker with lawsuits until they went out of business, and this is most certainly an abuse of the legal system.

Ownership isn’t a matter of physical existence or duration of some physical property.
There is some gamification like this at https://wandrer.earth/

I've been doing the same using Strava Heatmaps, cycling the Hollywood Hills. Lots of very steep dead-end streets. Cannot just wing it since you never know when there might be a street coming up, new streets need to be planned.
1password has a document on their security arch: https://1passwordstatic.com/files/security/1password-white-p....

This alone lends credence to their claims. To this date there has been no major breaches despite being a large target (albeit smaller than LP). Moreover, the fact that your vault is both password protected and locked behind a secret key is about as good as you can get in terms of commercially offered security.

That's not to say they couldn't be lying. But after careful evaluation I've gone to them and people much more experienced in security have also moved to them as well.

FWIW a "source code audit" or "making it open source" does not imply intrinsic security. You are putting far too much weight in either a firm to do the right thing with money, or the existence of sufficiently motivated OSS researchers mining what might be millions of lines of code. We still find bugs in the Linux kernel regularly despite it quite literally having tens of millions of eyes on it. What makes you think this would do anything more than assuage your fears through security kabuki? In fact, OSS while sounding nice introduces an entirely new attack vector that a company may simply not have the staff to mitigate. To use the Linux kernel once more vulnerabilities have been deliberately injected into the kernel more than once. There have been game breaking SSL bugs. Huge overflow problems, etc. I love OSS. It is not a panacea. Signal chose this model - it does not imply it is the best, the most practical, or the most secure.
> I personally have never gotten a new job in the same city as my last.

If you don't mind me asking, how old are you?
how do you customize it and use it as a library? Using it as a framework is deprecated now? I didn't see docs talking about this.
You're just poisoning the well.

edit: I find it very bizarre and very fashionable to defend the integrity of a verification service that does not exist, and to already dismiss the non-existent people who could suspect that this hypothetical system of verification was corrupt as conspiracy theorists.
Discovering which parts of the brain are engaged when coding
Yep, I agree. I’ll probably spend the next week improving mobile and Dark mode css.
I don’t know what your interests are, but an analogy I would propose is if your car had a menu that let you set the brake balance and fuel mixture. I know what those things are because I’m a fan of f1 racing. But even I wouldn’t care past a “huh that’s cool”

Yes, most people wouldn’t care or even understand that, and same with their search engine. It would confuse them if they got to it. And it isn’t worth keeping it open ended just to please the 1% of nerds, most of which would tinker once and move on.

So then it is good to tell non-tech people “you can trust the list”

I for one much prefer the apple approach for mainstream users. It gives them a solid set of defaults.

If there’s a search engine that’s better than what’s on that list, then we know how to add it and it will make it to the list eventually.
You can't do this to yourself. Once your combined Bitcoin hit 20-100K you probably would have sold. And you would have been smart.
Thank you for the link.

> It's also been built by people who are respected in the security industry.

This means almost nothing. It is an appeal to authority. Experts can still miss things. Yes, it is better than experts saying a product stinks, but still is not trustworthy without open source. Maybe I'm making my own fallacy here, I'm just trying out a position.
Lutris makes it easy to install GOG and Epic store games as well. Epic has been giving away a lot of games the past year or two, so it's a great option for Linux. Amazon Prime also gives away games that usually redeem on GOG or other stores. Great time to be a patient gamer. I have a huge, 100% legal collection of games that were all free thanks to these stores competing to build up their reputation.
I never buy e-books unless they include it with the purchase of a dead tree book. If I'm going to pirate a book, I'll at least buy the paper copy to support the author and publisher. For all other media, excluding games because steam is so easy, piracy it is.
Yeah this kind of thing is very interesting, it does look like safari supports it.
Yes, I know. It’s a pure function with no mutable state.
There could never be a better example of "finders keepers" than meteorites. Nobody can lay any kind of legitimate claim to these rocks - that have literally entered from the void of space - except for the people who find them. The real reason somebody would be upset about this is jealousy.
Back in the olden days when you got a crisp bill and saved it specifically in case you needed to get something from a vending machine later on. Those were good days! I don't think I've carried cash for many years now. Was kind of an issue in San Francisco where some restaurants still didn't accept card payments.
These days I would include jq in that list as well, near the front in fact
Are you perhaps thinking about patents?

If not, could you explain where you see a connection between copyright and R&D?
Researchers develop blood test that can reliably detect Alzheimer’s disease
Perhaps, although my understanding is that the environmental cost of battery production and energy sources does make it less warm-and-fuzzy-feeling. Still a net good, but I've become less convinced over time that EVs will significantly impact climate change.
Most people don't read open source and instead trust that the experts will catch any issues....
"Justify why people died"
Lol, you sound as unhinged and radicalized as Jim.
The point I was making was that all these people had a criminal record that showed they had a violent nature, and were likely there to cause trouble.
But to understand that, you need to be not radicalized, and be able to think calmly, logically, and humanly.

Also, a conversation is more than just deflecting and ignoring things, it means engaging with a topic and exchanging arguments. Clearly Jim was not open to that. The way he was misrepresenting what I said at some point is nothing short of sick.
Much like what you were doing just now.

Which is funny... from 56+ pages of conversation, you STILL have to twist and frame my words in an attempt to make me look bad. Lol.
One Game Developer's Journey in Making Pirate MMORPGs
I thought this story of a game developer who spent his entire career working on pirate related MMORPGs might be a fun read.

I've played his first game, Puzzle Pirates, for well over a decade now, so it's near and dear to my heart. It's cool to see the humans behind the magic.

I must say though, of all the niches to build a career in... pirate MMORPGs?
I wouldn’t call myself seasoned developer but tail (and grep) saved so much time during my masters thesis, I don’t even know how I’d checked for new entries in my log files other than using cat. When working with anything posting a log, I’m very grateful to know about tail.
We are in BC but it was still treated poorly: kinda not talked about, poorly represented on news (kid died because family was Co-sleeping!), in the hospital they strictly avoided it. We were lucky with a great prenatal course though.

Made a huge difference, since our baby didn't sleep for more than 1 hour without a human body until she was age 2. Now if she's tired, she naturally fall asleep.
In various parts of the US there are sketchy bus companies with unpredictable and unreliable service that are cheaper than Greyhound. One example is the busses between New York and nearby large cities. They tend to accumulate accident records, close, and re-open under a new name. Boarding involves standing in a scrum they vaguely measure.
It's important to understand that the attachment theory was developed to explain why children of drug addicts are so messed up. It was then expanded to children who suffered other kinds of abuse.

When you try to expand attachment theory to try to understand healthy kids in non abusive situations the effect size is usually smaller than the experimental noise.
> It's also feeling like you're a part of something that matters.

I feel the same way w/r/t something that matters. The trade-off there is when you look at when you

- Find parking at a commuter station

- Wait for a 6:50AM commuter train (which especially on the return trip can be mysteriously cancelled)

- Arrive at the city and then transfer to a subway, which some-times doesnt even run well

- Realize you've paid ~$48 for the day's commute
Genuinely, what do you see as dated? My only other point of comparison is Reddit so I suspect I’m behind the times.
It’s probably because someone made a post with a huge title lol.

I’ll add ellipsis overflow later
Still doesn't explain why it's all not at least source-available. I'm not going to complain if they don't use open-source licenses such as MIT or (A)GPL, but straight up not making the source code publicly readable at all is a big strike against it.
> In a non-GC language you’d be able to see explicitly what is going in and out of memory, but with GC the runtime is doing that for you.

I hear you about the GC's calls to free, but if one is concerned about leaking key material, there's an existing pattern for that, no GC nonsense required: use a (byte|char) array and then zero it after use: https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base...

It runs the same risk as does any general purpose computing in that your process can crash or some attacker can be on the machine sniffing all the things, but it's certainly better than `password = new String("hunter22") // good luck`

I also grant you that managing the key material must be disciplined across the whole lifecycle of that material, so `char[] password = readString().toCharArray()` doesn't help
I highly recommend this. Its so fast that it is crazy. I got 2k req/s on basic tests.

Its filtering DSL is awesome, and should probably get supported by commune: https://postgrest.org/en/stable/api.html#operators

Note that I didn't use it yet in production settings, but intent to. Auth do seem a bit complex.

For anybody wanting a quick test on Windows: https://github.com/majkinetor/postgrest-test
I don't think it would be confusing if Apple implemented it like Firefox does: when I'm on a site with an OpenSearch specification, give me the option to add it to my list of available search engines. Then when I'm typing in the omnibar, "Search XYZ.com for <my query>" would be an option I could tap, and similarly it would be an option available for me to choose as a default search engine in Settings.app.

Apple already takes up a bunch of space in the URL bar with that stupid microphone icon for dictation that I've never used. Maybe they could put the button there.
Which bit of bitwarden is not FOSS?
I get that and I share this sentiment 100%. However, there are various other browsers on the App Store including the one from Brave. I guess I don't see this as someone wanting their favorite search engine to be available in Safari. I see it as chapter #799 of the old story of "Let's talk about Apple making decisions for the user while others allow me to make decisions myself".

Magnetic deviation might not have been an problem in a single year, but magnetic drift can be quite impactful even over a decade. It can be quite severe the further North you get which can really throw compass directions off.
The airport in Fairbanks, Alaska changed its runway numbers in 2009 and will change then again in 2033[1]. This can represent anywhere between a 15-30 degree drift over the course of 20 years.

For anything more than a short jaunt (which you probably don’t need a compass for anyway), you would need to understand updated magnetic deviation regularly to navigate with confidence.

I'm a big apple user and recognize this is messed up. If you are going to make your browser default and shipped with the phone, and not allow other rendering engines in your appstore, you better be bending over backwards to make sure stuff like this is open. This is already a solved problem and I expect Apple to already have regular features like this baked in.
It's turtles all the way down. Would you rather NOT have the option for other experts to see the code?
Likely a bread or kefir recipe.
It's fun to see how we had such similar experiences growing up. We pretty much did the same thing in high school with Net Send. Except we sent "All your base are belong to us" and then left the library computer lab in a real hurry once we saw the message go everywhere. Pretty sure it reached other schools too.
I honestly think in a lot of ways we’d be better off focusing on all the small engines (lawnmowers, chainsaws, etc). They are extremely dirty since they have no emissions controls what so ever. You can just see the particulates coming out.
Ask HN: The ISP has a competing product so has decided to block my domain
The ISP in my hometown (Albania + Kosovo) has decided to block my whole domain to my free legal streaming website because they also happen to offer IPTV services. I only found out after trying to access my site from Albania today, it just comes up with a “bad URL” request. The streams I serve on my site are public freely available TV channels, combined into a single page.

Since EU laws do not apply to neither of these countries, is there any course of action I can take to prevent this sort of monopoly going on?
I made a request to DDG a few months ago to add a !kagi bang command.

Still haven’t heard from them but it’s worth a try.

https://duckduckgo.com/newbang

Adding other browsers to DDG bangs would somewhat solve the problem, at least for me with Kagi.
Brave has an iOS app. Are there people who have an iPhone and want to use brave as a search engine but don't want to use brave's browser app?
Then you'd be excluding yourself from every platform. We obviously need serious regulation to these massive dystopic tech monopolies.
Where are you referring to where there are only two city types? I live in the Netherlands, neither of the two existing models you describe sound familiar in any countries around here, although our cities were certainly designed in a low tech past.
I like KeePassXC, which is open source.
> Can't be done.

It can be done and has been done, but what the article fails to recognize is that it is spectacularly expensive—the original build-out, of course, but also the maintenance (I’ve seen this firsthand in the stratospheric HOA fees in the one class-A office-to-residence conversion I toured in my condo search).

Office to residential will happen, but it will be at the top end of the market. It is fundamentally incompatible with affordable housing.
You can't fix this in the tool you are trying to invoke because the tool never runs. The error E2BIG is returned from the syscall `execve` because it fails to run the program.

If you just want to work around this on some architectures you can simply raise the stack limit which defaults to 8MiB.

If you want to do this in a portable way, learn to use `xargs` or `find`.
I moved off of LastPass a while ago, but hadn't actually deleted my account because of laziness/inertia. This breach was finally the impetus to get me to full-on delete my vault and start the process of cleaning up my old accounts.

Luckily I've been off of it long enough that I suspect most of my regularly used accounts are different anyways, but I'm still going through the process now of methodically rotating all of them (I may change some of the email addresses as well).

----

I think a lot of people even casually knew LastPass wasn't at the same quality level as other solutions, but inertia is powerful. Sometimes you need something glaring to be the final straw that breaks the camel's back.

It's been long overdue; I moved off of Gmail as well a while ago but haven't gone through and systematically changed all of my account email addresses; there are still a few older services I have that send emails over. The new year is a good opportunity to clean that stuff up.
At university, we had a whole IM network built around "write" on a multiuser *nix server (over the past 20+ years, the university netsoc has run services on freebsd, solaris and various flavours of Linux). We also had terminal based maps which would allow you to find friends based on the IP they logged in from.

See https://c-hey.redbrick.dcu.ie/ for the wrapper around write. These days students seem to prefer discord. :/
> As with most of us, that's a project of serious scope that I do not look forward to.

I've spent the better part of the past three days doing just this. Get some good music and some good coffee, and it can actually be pretty cathartic. I enjoyed the hygiene exercise much more than I thought I would.
One point for the discussion: learning to read is not the same as learning to speak. The latter is considerably more difficult.
This goes away after a few days, it's explained in the Co-sleeping section of the course they should give you: your body is attuning to the baby.
That's also how you don't roll over them and how they wake up if it's too hot
How does that square with:

> I don't want to avoid [coupling my application schema to my database schema]

It seems like you built a layer of indirection to specifically allow the thing you said you didn’t want to do a couple posts up. (I think your indirection layer is a good idea; I’m curious what your previous post meant in light of that.)
If a document alone lends credence to their claims, the source code would do wonders. It's not about public contributions, it's about transparency and good faith.
The government's information was obviously was filled with inconsistencies that were obvious to anyone with the slightest prior mistrust of them.

Ivermectin has a long history of safe and beneficial usage in the developing world, billions of doses. Yet it was actively discouraged as "horse medicine" here. Anyone with experience or relatives in the developing world would immediately question the veracity of such a discouragement.

Do you not see your contradiction?
I have ADHD and greatly prefer remote as I can tailor my office how I like, and can break up my day as I like.
That's not necessary. Cats are expert sleepers!
> someone described their Tesla as "Imagine if your printer was your car."

I hope you don’t defer judgment on other things to this “someone”.

There are many Tesla owners (e.g., myself and several of my friends) who are just quietly enjoying our cars.
Uhm, you are aware that the Kindle license is limited by your death, right? (Outside of Delaware, and maybe a few other places which have passed explicit legislation overriding this to allow for inheritance of ebooks). How is this different in any way from a lifetime lease agreement?
I'm curious as to why they didn't decide on using UUIDs with the `-` stripped for URLs, and readding them for queries. It would accomplish the same goals wouldn't it?
Just enable webauthn and forget the passwords non-sense
The following is a mitigation, not a solution.

You can pick a different search engine in, and add search engines to, Firefox mobile on iOS. The picker pictured in TFA is only for mobile Safari.

It uses the same renderer as Safari on iOS, but the search engine is not part of that. I imagine that mobile chrome (I don't use it) can do the same.
Hello Everyone! We'd like to share with you this blog post with tips and tools for software debugging and we introduce you to one particular tool, its potential, and how much it can help in the debugging process.

Check it out at the following link, We hope you like it!

Even so, the number of experts looking at the code will increase if it's open, right? I know the concept of "many eyes makes all bugs shallow" isn't the panacea we once thought it was; that still there can be bugs lurking in widely-read sources.

But it must be smaller than the number of bugs that exist in code read by a smaller group.
I don't know where you have been for the last 10 years but NOTHING has improved, my Ivy Bridge CPU with DDR3 RAM has lower latency than anything released today.

SSDs peaked in 2011 with X-25E at 65nm and 100.000 writes per bit.

From C64 to today you have 1.000-10.000x per watt... if your Ryzen is 2x better than Intel it's irrelevant in that context.

The hard thing now is longevity, since the hardware does not improve.

It's over, time to start writing better software!
Prior to getting married and having kids, absolutely. After, not at all unfortunately
The author comes across one of the issues with using UUIDv4 as a (primary) key — they are not great for btree performance. Particularly for clustered indexes like in MySQL, but also in non clustered indexes.
A bunch? How is word count relevant?
A Tailscale IoT mesh would be killer.
I asked this a few days ago on a similar thread. Some good info here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34137643
Yep, happened to me. Literally just sent 'Test'. Got yelled at by two people, but that's about it.
This is what you get when you treat everybody else in the same way, by telling them cosleeping is evil. I'm very bitter of the opposite, we have been taught it's wrong to co-sleep the entire time.
Lucky, mother nature gave us some help.

After we co-slept for 3 years with our baby, on the second one they wanted to take the baby off my wife the night in the hospital (baby sleeps on mom's chest).
I understand the concern, but this is the second baby, we know the drill.
Yeah, I use these bangs too, but it also means that every query is sent to 2x search engines - DDG and the destination search.

There is a Safari extension called xSearch [0] which implements bangs client side, but I uninstalled it because I noticed weird TLS errors on a few sites while it was running, and I'm generally uncomfortable with the level of access required for it to function.
