Not sure if it helps in your case, but you also can access wsl disk from windows side. This could give better performance for some uses.
Problem with blocking Cloudflare traffic as a whole is that you will be blocking Private Relay users too.
> I remember no questions being asked when I set up WSL2.

If the (WSL) path to your project is inside ~/ it's on the linux file system. If it's in /mnt/c/ it's in the Windows filesystem. In WSL1 those were about equally fast, both going throught the windows kernel. With WSL2, accessing /mnt/c/ from Linux has to go through Windows, and accessing \\wsl$ from Windows has to go through Linux, so where you put the files decides where they are fast.
> you gotta love Mac users and their cultural bubble

I've been using Windows for ~10, Linux for ~20, and Mac for 4 years. I've also worked on my own toy terminal emulator and shell. I believe that good design should be recognised for what it is, regardless of branding, and learned from to improve different aspects of the tools we build and use.

I would very much appreciate it if we could continue this conversation without assuming bias or ignorance.

> these are non standard keybindings for a Unix shell

The shell can't interpret Cmd, which is exactly my point. The terminal emulator is able to provide functionality that the shell alone can't (unless the shell takes on some part of the terminal's duties, a la tmux).

> Apple is [...] teaching you the wrong way to do stuff.

What is the correct way to copy text from a terminal then?

I just want to copy text back & forth between a terminal and a browser. I don't want to memorise two different sets of keybindings to perform the same action. I don't care if copy is Ctrl-Shift-C, or Win-CapsLock-2, I just want the key bindings to remain consistent, to reduce mental fatigue.

> When I'm in VSCode the left mouse click doesn't shoot at anything...

If I'd open Counter Strike in VS Code (100% possible, see TFA), then I would 100% expect left click to shoot.

On the other hand, I've had to rebind some of my StarCraft II hotkeys to make them work on Windows, because normally I use Alt+[F1-F4] for setting up camera hotkeys and... Alt-F4 does something special on Windows, that the game can't ignore.

Outage started around 00:00UTC today.

I was able to contact via support chat to confirm it's indeed Cloudflare related issue as wasn't sure as it's not displayed in any form on Cloudflare dashboard that indeed account is restricted. That was around 8AM UTC.

Since then I also contacted with sales team (got the details already as they approached me in last few weeks as mentioned before) in order to upgrade to Enterprise plan as it seems like the only solution, but did not get the quote yet and account is still restricted.
Also want to be kept updated on this issue since it touches some clients of mine
API reads/writes don’t generate ad impressions. It’s really that simple. All the bot nonsense is rhetoric.
Most serious/"enterprise" users of GCP don't use Google's own systems, but federate Active Directory instead:

https://cloud.google.com/architecture/identity/federating-gc...

If you do so, authentication is delegated to AD. And there are other third-party options too:

9-11

To be clear, we were strict up until the pandemic when we let things slide. Then all the friends were on messenger and if that's the only source of socializing, well ok. We didn't have YT on the tablet, but through ad clicking she discovered it would sometimes open in the browser, then she just figured out how the browser works.

I'd say there was close to a year of virtually unfettered access, up to 2 hours a day, always simultaneously with Messenger Kids for chatting/calling friends.

Cutting off was tough, but it happened over the holidays so we all took a full digital diet, and it gave the opportunity to gently introduce the concept of addiction

Ask HN: What's the best HR platform/service to handle hirings in the U.S.?
Quick question, is there an HR platform/service (similar to Deel, Remote.com, etc), but to hire in the U.S. and forget about all the hassle?

For context, it is for a U.S. company (but remote-first), and I'm curious about what is the best way to hire the first employee based in the U.S. Thanks!
I think that even if Cory got his perfect digital paradise, and we all ran our own servers, held our own data, and somehow had perfect encryption... it would be gone within days because of Linus Torvalds, and his failure to learn from Andrew S. Tanenbaum, which compounded on the earlier mistakes of Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie et al.

Our operating systems have no balls. They blindly submit to the whims of any program we care to run. By design, a very out of date design that lived in the almost paradise of classrooms and corporations with lots of people who just wanted to get stuff done, cooperating.

The IBM XT with dual floppy diskettes was the most secure that general purpose computing could ever get.

I'd really appreciate if someone could change my mind, it's damned depressing knowing our best days are behind us.
What is the point of a movie if not to entertain? Not all media needs to ask questions about the metaphysical nature of life, you're allowed to sit back and watch Jack Black pretend to be a teenage girl, and that's okay.
They were acquired by Spotify, and there's been some work done by/for Spotify since then.

I'm not at liberty to say what, sadly, as I work for Spotify.

I think I can say that one of the main challenges is running this analysis for users. It's prohibitively expensive (or was prohibitively expensive) to use this to keep track of and run recommendations for what users are listening for each user.

It can be used on smaller scales, but, well, it's probably NDA :)
Why would that be against the TOS?
Literally just sent an email to my devops guys to move off cloudflare asap. This cavalier lack of respect is a diservice and insult to all the people who rely on my product for their livelihood.
I’ve wondered about this a lot. You can already clearly imagine the future political debates on whether AI has rights (I have always preferred to err heavily on the side that anything alive or appears sentient should have more rights).

But... I also think it might be a very short-lived debate. If we actually reach human level intelligence, that can’t possibly be the hard limit of general intelligence. AI at that level will have no problem ensuring that it gets any rights that it wants, possibly by just directly manipulating human psychology.
> it has led to compulsive browsing behavior with severely negative long-term consequences for my life

If I can offer practical advice that has worked for me in pulling me back from bad browsing habits:

1. Meditate ~10min every morning

2. Start a reading habit, even if it's modest (start with 10 pages a day)

3. Create physical barriers between you and devices:

3.1. Do not sleep with a device in the room (if you use it as an alarm clock buy an analog one)

3.2. Physically remove non-indispensable devices (TV, console, any extra screens) from around you, if only temporarily (put them in storage, give them to a friend for keeping)

4. Write a to-do list with objectives for the next day in the evenings, then revise it in the mornings after waking up

5. Pick up some exercise, preferrably with a social obligation (ie, an instructor, a group). The latter may be important because as an experienced weightlifter I can say that it's way too easy to do solo sessions where you're constantly slacking around and looking at your phone.

6. Quit other vices (eg, drinking) temporarily

Many of these have nothing to do with browsing, but that's precisely what does it for me. Artificially limiting browsing (by using apps, timeboxing, etc.) does not work at all for me and I need to work on adjacent goals to build my chemistry back up.
The plane was buffeted, the crew were unhurt, on the day.

Their diginity took a mild beating after landing and spending a month under quasi "friendly" house arrest by Indian troops who watched them gather more data and process it, compounded by questioning from US border agents in following years in transit, and offset by the joy of watch high caste Indian Geophysicists that insisted on being in the planes vomit on every end of line turn.

( It's a gut wrenching maneuver )

Telling them the planes weren't landing and they'd have to clean up their own mess "sparked joy", I believe.
No. You can use Google's consumer systems if you want to, and will do so if you log on with your Gmail (consumer) account, but GCP will happily talk with "enterprise" Workspace orgs, Active Directory, Okta, etc.
The Muppet Christmas Carol is a great film.

One thing I find very striking about it is that it felt free to swing between being a Muppets movie and being a faithful rendition of the story according to whatever was better for the movie. There are two Marleys in the Muppet Christmas Carol, because the best Muppet personality match to Jacob Marley is a set of two Muppet characters. That's great. But then on the other end, when Dickens has produced a great piece of writing that doesn't translate well to film... Rizzo the Rat can whip out his copy of the book and just read that passage to the audience. Even better!

Someone had a vision for this movie and did an amazing job.

> I feel like since then we have somewhat lost the capability to make these sorts of movies.

Copyright is a big problem here. If you want to find the best possible version of a story, you need to let different people experiment with different ways of telling it.
it's not an either-or. we can do both, in fact we should do both.
> Now when Musk bought Twitter and thus got ownership fair and square, it does no longer apply?

That’s a false equivalency. We agree that he’s allowed to run twitter however he wants to (barring deliberately running into the ground, which is probably illegal).

We just think he’s an idiot in how he goes about it.
> consistent with the vast majority

As ever the whole sentence is important, rather than just picking out a part of it.
Cartoon Network for example has always had advertising aimed at children, and some shows that definitely was considered dubious in my household growing up (in far away Romania), such as Cow and Chicken and that show's obsession with butts. And there was generally no educative touch to these shows, they were mostly interested in children's entertainment. The same was true for most cartoon shows I saw growing up - they usually didn't contain explicitly educational content, though of course they were incomparable in quality to things like the spam on YT Kids.
ML and AI is not a solved thing. Current "deep" algorithm, whose technical details everyone is striving to master, is quite possible not the one that will lead us to the AGI.

From their claims they either solved the halting problem, or the tool severely limits what correct C or C++ programs it allows, essentially making the language not Turing-complete. I suppose it's the latter.

I wonder if it's not too limiting.
Implementing the HEVC Standard in Software
This is a really simple but elegant idea, and from a few other examples I’ve seen it feels very much like there are lots of fun ideas to explore in the space of flexible GPT-based APIs.

Your idea, for example, prompted an idea for a GPT-based recipe app. You just say something like, “provide a recipe for macaroni and cheese and add the ingredients to my shopping list.” Then you get a shopping list using your to-do approach.
There were plenty of cartoon-only and kids-only TV channels when I was growing up. Of course, I sometimes got bored of the shows, but kids also sometimes get bored of YT.
And the world will surely pay a price.
Did we miss out on all of the HN articles and studies about how socmed consumption negatively impacts people’s levels of happiness, self-esteem, and ability to focus, and have we no experience of it?
In modern CPUs with modern thermal management approaches, it's probable that fully loading two cores in two servers is much more efficient than even powering off the second server, because in each machine the primary delta in power draw between idle-state and max-load is in thermal management (fans), and running cores more distributed will increase passive cooling, as well as allowing the CPU cores that are in use to run in more energy-efficient modes.

That said, I haven't done the actual math here, just seen the power draw benchmarks that show idle -> single core draw -> all core draw as a curve with idle and single core usage well under the ratio of number of cores, without even accounting for the fact that each core is more performant under single-core workloads.
Tempting, the Dark Side (Zide?) is.
I'm using Workers as basically API gateway/smart load balancer to backend services that handle actual load (resource intensive data filtering). Most of the responses are not cached on Cloudflare level.
Thing is that I was using Workers for about 4 years already with not issue at at all, I'm aware that I use lots of requests and bandwidth but I just wish I was contacted about mandatory upgrade before effectively turning my service down.
rateyourmusic.com is an alternative to allmusic.com while chosic.com focuses on finding music.

The later has generated more similar music for me so far. But I welcome every additional project improving the search for music which has been so neglected by most services.
ublock blocks YouTube ads.

One way I manage the addictive problem with YouTube is to heavily use the do not recommend channel feature when I find something garbage or unproductive.

Here in Australia the govt forces YouTube to surface local (read: Murdoch) news channels in the home page despite them all being mostly hated and consistently downvoted by me (no way any recommendation system would continue to recommend me their stuff).

Thankfully, you can "not recommend" those channels and the whole "news" section goes away. You can still search "news" when you want to see it but tbh I hardly ever do unless I hear something is going on that I'm concerned about.
That's almost the same as Sales promising that the feature will be available in the next few weeks..
This is very useful! I had an application that needed an async backend for a data processing pipeline in GCP but missed the familiarity of AWS Step Function + Lambda. This setup would have been a great replacement for that.
It seems to be finding snippets of songs similar to snippets. I tried on Metallica - Unforgiven III, which starts off with a slow piano composition, and then enters a riff and cuts out.

It ends up recommending piano songs, many Korean ones.

There's some interesting ones like Ghost - Cirice, where it finds other songs with similar riffs. I like Ghost's music in general, just not the Satanic themes, so this is a great tool for finding similar music.

I'm somewhat amused that it doesn't match Under Pressure with Ice Ice Baby.

> The New Wild: Why Invasive Species Will Be Nature's Salvation (popular science book)

Bullshit distilled at this most pure essence. Again another sad case of human underestimating the power of invasive plants until is too late and too expensive to fix.

(Autochtonous or non invasive) Weeds, branches and leaves in the soil does not bother me at all in principle (there are solid exceptions for that rule, Eucaliptus for example needs to be removed), but Acacia self-seeding and Opuntia cacti being allowed to roam free is a different question. Will suffocate the more delicate jewels in no time.

Weird, I'm using Firefox with uBO and it's working fine.
I made little endian formats and didn't notice any complications.

int quantized = (slice >> 57) & 0x7;

You wouldn't need this shift with a little endian format. If you store samples in order and read them as big endian, the first sample will be in high bits and the last sample in low bits, which is unnatural for shift and mask, that's what I call complication.
Oh, I didn't realize CoComelon was that popular, much less top-grossing YouTube channel in America. Our older kid (3.5yo now) has been listening to and occasionally watching their videos, which we picked just because - unlike most others we could find - they weren't weird or disturbing.

We obviously don't let our kid listen to, or watch, those music videos on YouTube. That would be crazy! We use YouTube only as a content discovery mechanism, and if the kids get to see any of it, it's under our experienced supervision[0]. Normally, we identify quality songs and videos[1], and then use youtube-dl (yt-dlp these days) to create an offline-playable, ad-free copy (usually with a pass through Audacity or ffmpeg to fix quality issues and strip out channel jingles, baked-in ads, and other annoyances). We then put those songs and videos on a spare phone that's not connected to the Internet, and use that for music and occasional screen time.

I honestly can't imagine doing it any other way. Yes, maybe the yt-dlp way isn't the most kosher, but there isn't an option I know of that I could pay for that doesn't have ads, questionable content and/or randomly risky autoplay.

(Relevant context: we're in Poland, but we're exposing our kids to ~50/50 mix of English and Polish songs so they're being constantly exposed to both languages.)

--

[0] - I can't stress this enough: giving YouTube to small children requires constant monitoring of a person who understands how it works. For example, the other day we left our daughter with her grandpa and allowed him to play her music videos from his phone. Half an hour later, we had to carefully explain to him, that just because the video that just finished playing had Peppa the Pig on it, doesn't mean that the disco rap song on that video, praising sexual conquest and drug abuse, is suddenly OK for a 3.5 y.o.

[1] - Again, you really need to watch a given video yourself first to be sure it's OK for the kids. The first time we exposed our kid to music videos, there was that one song about a fox we played, that seemed all fine until we reached a scene featuring said fox having a shotgun pressed to its head, begging for life to the farmer that caught it. That was the first and the last time I didn't watch the video end-to-end before showing it to my kid.
I find the non sequiturish format of your post quite intriguing. Too plus too sums to an integer, but which one? Elon Musk is a good example of becoming more conservative due to great wealth, after all. His ability to read between the lines is what makes him human, after all. He really passed the The Voight-Kampff test from Blade Runner, and I respect his conservative opinions.
Simpler. They didn't really believe them to be human in the same sense as themselves.

Exactly. Nobody should be trusting Google with anything. Period. Between them reporting their users to the police and refusing to back down even when forced to publicly address their mistakes, their issues with 2FA/recovery codes, data-mining everything you host with them, etc, I don't know how anybody could ever be comfortable trusting them with their data.

Imao, zero-trust is the ideal, and Google is infinitely contrary to that standard no matter what way you look at it. I can't see a single positive to their "value" proposition unless you are an data exhibitionist who wants to pay a panopticon to disseminate your entire life to hungry marketers and throw you to the wolves the moment their ML/AI makes a non-discretionary case against you.

Putting aside the morality of it, I wish we could study a case where twins are raised differently:

1. one where youtube (or any form of media under the sun) is part of daily life,

2. and another where youtube (and any alternative image/video/audio/social media) is completely removed.

Really what I'm asking for is the 21st century version of the identical twin study:

I wonder how different their dispositions would be.
As a general rule if anyone ever tells you that the other side is ultimate evil (jumping to "voting for these people means you're supporting Nazi supporters" is exactly that) then it's an automatic red flag that they've become completely blinded by partisanship.

As to who I'd personally vote for next election, I'm currently undecided as these things are highly nuanced. I have issues with both major parties in the US and time will still tell in which direction each develops before the next election. I don't take kindly to you trying to literally paint every single politician on the Republican side with a massive brush of "Nazi supporter". It's exactly for reasons like this that I feel it's important to continue to support them in some fashion to prevent the absolute nonsense that you're perpetuating here.

A couple of decades ago we had people wearing literal swastika arm bands goose stepping through jewish neighborhoods. We survived that perfectly fine. A lot of people seem to want to massively inflate how bad things actually are right now compared to history. Driving division in this country is one of the primary aims of foreign Russian and Chinese propaganda and one of those ways is through rabid partisanship.
