Joinpeertube.org is not a random node, however that site links to many random nodes for the videos. One may or may not realize when they click on a video that they are on a new domain unless they glance at the URL bar. That is why I was looking for clarification.

If you are experiencing issues on joinpeertube.org then it may be worth running an OS update and ensuring you also have the latest version of your browser to rule out CA certificate store issues. CA stores are periodically updated and LetsEncrypt did go through a change that will eventually invalidate its older signing keys and intermediate certificates. This would only impact people that have stagnant operating systems or browsers unless one is being routed through an outdated MitM Man-in-the-Middle HTTPS proxy.

We may be able to rule out MitM with openssl, see if the fingerprint is the same for you.

40% of high school students don't go to college (of any type). Of those, only a tiny portion are focused on elite universities. Many are just going to Long Beach State, University of Redlands and other 4 year schools that you've never heard of. They have lax admissions. Among adult Americans, only a third have bachelors degrees. Certainly the high pressure scholastic environment of certain high schools is not common.

I see enough people in companies and privately using Adobe Acrobat. However, given the quality of the software (from Adobe in general) and all the security holes that have been exploited for Acrobat over the years, I can advise everyone not to use Adobe PDF Acrobat Reader and instead open PDF files in Firefox (pdf.js) or Chrome (pdfium).

A look at the PDF specification is enough to know that it is a hard task to parse such a complex file format without memory bugs: the file is read backwards, which is why the x-ref table is at the end of the file, actually PDF is supposed to be exclusively ASCII... except that every PDF contains binary streams and in addition functions and properties which are defined are ignored even by Adobe Reader.
I wrote some PDF-fuzzers a few years ago and the whole file format is a huge mess..

The coolest use of KBFS I found is a zero code real time chat app. One person types

echo Hello >> /keybase/private/Alice,Bob/chat.txt

while the recipient types

tail -f /keybase/private/Alice,Bob/chat.txt

and it just works!

You're missing the other major problem, which is that range is mutually-exclusive with precision. The scientific community discovered a long time ago that exponential notation is the superior way to represent both for very large and very small values because the mantissa is shifted to the place where precision is needed most.

>In 3D modelling/video games, almost certainly not.

A 32-bit integer divided into a 16-bit whole and a 16-bit fraction would be limited to only representing values between -32768 and 32767 while also having worse precision than a 32-bit ieee std754 floating-point at values near 0.

>In accounting software...probably?

Representing money in terms of cents instead of dollars removes the need for real-numbers entirely outside of "Office Space" scenarios where tracking fractions of cents over millions of transactions adds up to tangible amounts of money.

>Across the whole universe of programs: who could say?

Most computer programs don't need real numbers of any sort, and the ones that do need to be written by people who understand basic mathematical concepts like precision.

This was my immediate response as well. My explicit content consumption is effectively nonexistent (an entirely neutral statement; I don't judge anyone else's, and it's just where I am in life), but it would not even occur to me to use Google for the purpose of consuming, rather than finding, this content. And I would probably stick to relatively trustworthy resources in the first place rather than wading into whatever malware-soaked options the ol' G Spot would suggest.

If other people's experiences are different, I mean, that's totally cool.

On the more general topic, I think I like the idea of being able to do an image search at work (where I cannot login to Google) without having an accidental goatse show up unmasked. But I also don't like private companies making editorial decisions on my behalf, so I'm torn.
It would be very counter to the suggested goals of the US for it to demolish just 3 of the 4 pipelines. Leaving one of the brand new, larger pipelines untouched. A pipeline that had just been completed but the activation of which had been put on hold due to the start of the war. Only so that Russia could turn around after the event and offer to jointly activate this new pipeline with Germany. An act that had Germany capitulated would be a major political win for Russia, and blow to the suggested US goals.
I mean, you said it yourself - there's an HFT moment happening with negative articles being robotically written that is causing the stock to drop. If anything it's a bit of an over-correction from the positive bump GOOG had recently from the same robot articles of the initial Bard announcement.
Show HN: Au: A C++14-compatible units library, by Aurora
Aurora's C++ units library called "Au" (rhymes with "hey you!") has been a small but critical tool in Aurora's software development toolbox. Today, we're sharing it with the world[1]: Au is now open source for all to use. Feel free to ask me any questions!

It is not safe to assume that a government will always follow its own laws or the will of the people. CBDCs allow a great deal of power that isn't so easily accessible now. The only certainty with people is that the temptation of power is irresistible. Attempts to use CBDC for control will be resisted but persistent. Some attempts will be accepted as concessions or to satisfy calls to catch "terrorists" or "pedophiles". Slowly but surely you end up at a place where the government controls who gets to spend and where they get to spend it.
The steam controller suffers immensely because valve was trying to push the dumb touchpads replacing sticks mentality at the time. The touch pads are a horrible replacement for sticks because they lack the physicality and feedback. The original vive was similarly hampered by controllers that had no sticks because valve got weird for a bit.

If stress from college prep is an issue, it’s only people that weren’t going through that who you’d want in the other bucket.
I have doubts that this is the real reason.

I'm reminded of a a time when I was a student at Carleton University where the student counsel voted to stop participating in the "Shinerama" Cystic Fibrosis fundraiser based on the fact that it was a discriminatory disease- it primarily impacts white men[0].

But in reality, that was just the best reason they could come up with rather than the real reason, which was that they wanted to try something new instead- I suspect they had a few other options in mind. And they knew the rest of the counsel was dumb enough to vote for any motion that was against discrimination.

And so I propose an alternative explanation for you: this director has pissed someone off. That person went and found a reason to cancel the play. It's not about discrimination. It's not about Beckett or sexism. It's about somebody not liking Oisín Moyne.

I don’t really see why a classic community-driven open source project would care about what non-contributing users are doing with the software. In that case, helpful users come with built-in telemetry (pull requests).

But I guess this could be helpful corporatized read-only repo projects, or other groups that aren’t sure if they are building a community or a customer base.
Sure, I was referring to the UI of the OS itself. I had the device about 3-4 months ago so perhaps it has been improved, but it was pretty janky in my experience at the time. It would often outright freeze on me for 10-20 seconds at a time.

Press a button, wait several seconds for something simple to happen on screen.

Felt like it was all held together with duct tape.
That's how it should work, but it's not how it does work. I'm willing to give up my copyright on my stuff as soon as Microsoft, Google, MGM, Atlantic, etc. give up theirs. Until then, nope: I get the same rights and protections.
Categorically not true.

Assembly language, for example is harder to read then say python when written by the same person. Therefore programming languages can be intrinsically hard to read.

I think you're just an exception. You're likely a programming genius with 250 IQ so everything is easy to read. From your perspective, the problem has nothing to do with languages... it's all the people with iqs below you that's the problem.
I'm an expert programmer and I agree with downvoted IshKebab. This is just HN having a Reddit moment.

IEEE 64 bit floats are accurate to just past 15 decimal digits. For ordinary monetary amounts, the exact figure in cents is approximated with ridiculous precision. If you rub two pennies together, you are likely causing more of a difference in the amount of copper than the IEEE 64 bit float causes in the value.

You have to do many, many additions and multiplications before you get a result which has accumulated so much error that it is now closer to the wrong penny. E.g. if you don't deal with dollar amounts more than 7 figures, you have about 8 places past the decimal point; you need something like a 6 place error before the penny is affected.

You can counteract this problem by correcting intermediate results to that floating-point value which is closest to exact penny result. In other words, throughout your calculation, you truncate away the difference between the result, and the best approximation of the dollar and cent value.

Within this framework, you can implement all required rounding rules, too. You can take a floating-point result representing a fraction of a penny and round it according to banker's rule to the penny.

Of course, you can't just ignore the issue and just blindly use floating-point for money in a serious accounting system; but that's a strawman version of using floating-point for money.

Also, Microsoft Excel uses floating point. See here:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/troubleshoot/excel/...

Vast armies of people rely on Excel for financial calculations.
If Chrome were a separate business entity, it would also have to be funded by Google to survive. Browsers simply cannot make money.
OP hit on a really interesting point, and if he's referring to the same thing I've seen, the issue isn't "difference." I think the issue is the degree of difference.

The place I volunteer at has quite a few teen volunteers, and I've noticed I can immediately spot the chronically-online teens (and there's a lot of them), because it's like they're from a different planet. They use language I don't understand, their humor revolves around memes I don't understand, they constantly reference people/events from their favored internet niche, and then completely lose interest in talking with people who don't understand their niche.

I think this ends up decreasing the amount of difference and diversity teens are exposed to, because when there are a million [insert niche here] fans online who "totally get you", there is far less incentive to make friends in the real world. And if you do make real-world friends, they likely are going to be part of that same niche, and have the exact same language/interests/etc that has been crafted by the online community. (It's honestly a bit eerie how good these niches are at creating cookie-cutter teens. I've had bizarrely similar conversations with kids who have never met each other, but are into the same niche. And it's not just their interests that are similar, it's their attitudes/outlooks/political views/etc.)

I find this really concerning, because it's important for teens to be exposed to a wide variety of people/experiences and be encouraged to respect them all. And that's hard to do when you're in a bubble of people who are identical to you, and have very little incentive to branch outside of that bubble.

I think back to my teen friend group, and it was a hodge-podge of computer geeks, theatre kids, journalism nerds, etc. I got so much benefit from having such a diverse friend group, and it's concerning to see those types of friend groups becoming rarer.
The Chromium PDF viewer was built from the Foxit PDF SDK.

Was Chromium Edge using that PDF viewer previously? Is this just moving to a new PDF viewer based on Acrobat SDKs?
Well yeah. When I see Bayer, I think aspirin.
Well according to our telemetry 0% of users turn it off so it seems pretty popular.

But more realistically what you gain in privacy you give up in having your voice heard by the devs. The decisions about the future of the product/project will be driven by the data, specifically the data from the kind of people who leave telemetry on.
I don't want to use Edge as a PDF viewer because of its useless UI.
The "Dirty War" over Syria is ongoing (US boots are literally on the ground right now) and there are many documented disinformation campaigns revolving around it from both sides, including from Western intelligence mouthpieces like Bellingcat. To assert that it is "settled" and Hersh is therefore "debunked" is deeply disingenuous.

US bombed Nord Stream gas pipelines, claims investigative journalist Hersh
Do you understand that by definition a government is able to exert violence against citizens? Surely you must find this more terrifying than the possibility that they might be able to stop someone from making payments.
All money (except for coins) is created in loans, which have a maturity date, at which "money is programmed to return to the bank", else you're forfeited. The monetary aggregate is ever-rotating, else all stops. It used to be 90 days, not sure now.

At least that was the state of affairs until 2008. Since then the system is more or less in decay, at least by standards which where held before.
All: Whether he is right or not or one likes him or not, Hersh reporting on this counts as significant new information (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...), so I've turned off the flags on this submission.

If you're going to comment in this thread, please make sure you're up on the site guidlelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) and note this one: "Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive." We don't want political or nationalistic flamewar here, and any substantive point can be made without it.
Holy false equivalent, Batman!

The poster's point was pretty simple: there is some speech which doesn't deserve to be fully protected to the highest possible level. Untrue commercial speech like false advertising is pretty much in that category. This is why we allow attorneys-general to bring cases against false advertisers, for example.

Usually the remedy is monetary damages, but injunctive relief is also available.

I can easily maintain that this is sensible and reasonable without "arresting people for showing a 3 watt bulb they claim to be 5 watts."

I don't know but probably there are options to donate to organisations outside Syria which provide direct material help.
I am so damn happy I was born at that perfect time where cellphones just started to become popular in highschool and yet I never had to deal with Facebook. I got to start with mixtapes and end youth with my telephone as my vinyl player and the worst thing that could happen to me was that I might go to my friends Myspace page and accidently blast "CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES" from my family computer.

We definitely owe it to the future kids to figure out how to replicate something similar to that in the modern era. But I have no idea how.
Maybe point a web server at your kbfs mount to make a similar service to keybase.pub but only for your own shared files.
"So...we unionized and got better job protections and benefits than before, and you're punishing us."

Apple: "Yes."

"...by offering better benefits to other stores employees?"

Apple: "Yes. We're giving them nicer stuff than we gave you. This is why you shouldn't unionize."

"Hmm. By unionizing just our one store, we improved benefits for us, but also for ALL the non-union employees in the company?!"

Apple: "er....no"

"Well, if we hadn't unionized, we wouldn't have gotten better benefits, and you only improved their benefits to 'punish' us..."

Apple: "no, wait..."

"uuuunnnHHH! If we unionize another store, will you punish us harder, daddy!?"

Apple: >:(
Exactly my point.

The post is about UI being in native for performance reasons, yet most of the processing/heavy logic of an IDE already is, or in a separate thread, even if the UI is in Electron.

At which point you're just discussing the performance gap between Canvas rendering and native graphics, which to a large extent disappears with WebGPU.
Your source links don't match up with what you're saying. For example, with [1#] you claim the US "controls" social media with CIA agents, but [1#] simply shows a social media company that merely hired former CIA agents. That's like saying Facebook hired a bunch of ex-Microsoft people, therefore Microsoft controls Facebook. Doesn't make sense.
If you can’t trust the White House, who /can/ you trust?

But in all seriousness, our political system is thoroughly corrupt and the only reality one can hope to extract from any public statements out of DC is an idea of what the current agenda is.
Good points. The problem though is that the barrier to entry now is so high that only the wealthiest are allowed to compete, the ones with a huge trustfund or lots of VC money or institutional backing.

Most smaller players are getting eaten or drowned, with the way Google Ads has implemented their changes. It was not like this 3 or or even 10 years ago, especially in the tech sphere.

So yes the state of Google could be a black mirror to the rising Gini Coefficients, HFT, armies of lawyers and private wealth management that create systems so complex that no - even upper middleclass person - will be able to enter or stay in the market.

AI is probably going to make this exponential. The ones with the money will be able to hire the tech and wealth expertise to grow while the barrier to entry just keeps rising.

Or is there a less dark outlook for the smaller or just midsized entrepreneurial endeavours?
Server-side interactivity is clearly not what anyone means by "interactivity" - you're intentionally twisting the usage of words.

If everyone else thought like you, humanity would be set back millennia.

Not to mention that it's just flat-out insane to discard the massive amounts of educational content and knowledge present on the internet just because it happens to also contain some undesirable content.

This mindset is not one that we want to spread throughout our society, full-stop. Gemini is a threat to human progress.

As to why not report this, sadly the systemic problems in this particular area are pretty deep. I'm not saying 'it won't do anything', but the results may be, at best, insignificant, and at worst quite bad for me.

What is needed is farmland consolidation. It's easier to control one big, invested farmer than 100 semi-literate drunks holding the same amount collectively, each working their tiny little 10 acre bit. Unfortunately it is a common populist policy to slow down or reverse this process, to "stop foreigners buying out our homeland" or something.
> When you hear the word telemetry, if you’re like me, you may have a visceral negative reaction to a mental image of intrusive, detailed traces of your every keystroke and mouse click headed back to the developers of the software you’re using.

But that's not my only objection to telemetry. Equally important to me is that so many bad decisions are justified based on telemetry. It's very easy to misunderstand the data, because telemetry leaves out so much, but developers often treat it as if it's giving a complete picture.

As an example, I have seen developers drop really important functionality on the basis that it is rarely used. While that was true, it was also true that when those rare times happen, that functionality was absolutely critical to have.
