> Would this be useful for adding document sharing to applications I write, for instance, a hypothetical word processor? I mean sharing with other people working on a document. The SDKs seem to be clients, so to interchange files between two applications with an embedded SDK, does it still need a third machine running an API server?

We could certainly incorporate an "embeddable" SDK so that zrok can be incorporated into other applications.

As it currently stands, you would need access to a zrok "service instance" ("cloud"), running the zrok controller (providing API access). But we could certainly look at other kinds of use cases where that control plane is potentially enabled ephemerally or on-demand. I have some ideas for things we might be able to do.

Neither of these are on the immediate roadmap. But if people ask for them, we could certainly build them.
Growing up, my dad was a US Congressman (and later chief of staff of a different congressman's office and in retirement a minor functionary in the county tax office.)

I LOVED Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister. To this day I ramble on about meeting minutes in attempted imitation of Humphrey Appleby.

I knew Jay and Lynn were onto something when my father watched 5 minutes of one episode and said "I ain't watchin' that bullshit. It's too much like work."

Speaking of chemistry, I caught the play at Chichester a while back (with different actors.) Perfectly good acting and perfectly good writing, but the "chemistry" was definitely different. Not better. Not worse. Just different.
Actually, it isn't, is spite of commonly being referred to as such. From Wikipedia:

* "Designed by Howard Bromberg, Norman Discount, Vernon Reeves, Jean E. Sammet, William Selden, Gertrude Tierney, with indirect influence from Grace Hopper"

* "[Grace Hopper] did not participate in its work except through the general guidance she gave to her staff who were direct committee members. Thus, while her indirect influence was very important, regrettably the frequent repeated statements that "Grace Hopper developed Cobol" or "Grace Hopper was a codeveloper of Cobol" or "Grace Hopper is the mother of Cobol" are just not correct."
Although the article is recent the paper from the article has been available on preprint/arxiv since June 2021[1], implementations for pytorch & tensorflow are also available[2] for those interested.

I don't believe Russia is capable to do that the way it was done... and sorry: They are not even capable to be that stupid also (stupid enough, but that would top it by magnitudes).
Was hoping for a big highly designed webpage with "enter your github URL here". but alas

(it did say "transparent", like a service people opt into that could relate installations to github URLs)
Writing a security critical code base like that is not something everyone could or should do. You do not even know if the one you replied to is even a programmer. Should the start university and study computer engineering and then specialize in cryptography and then finally write the library?
Computers, as we use them, to operations on finite sets.

Real numbers are simulated using a finite set of bits.

So equality comparisons are not useful for floating point numbers

This is computing 101
As someone who visits both HN and 4Chan, I like having the choice. I definitely don't want the government deciding that 4Chan is illegal and wiping it off the 'Net because it contains disinformation.

When you ask, "How should governments fight disinformation," what you're really asking is, "How can governments deny their citizens the right to choose what information they read, watch or listen to." When it's phrased like that, it's not so appealing, is it?
I'm not yet 40 but I am a male single parent. With the closest family being 1300 miles away. Last year between March-May my health deteriorated so bad that I went from being fine to walking with a cane in less than 2 months. Once finally diagnosed, I went from diagnoses to major surgery in less than 12 days.

My daughter (just turned 16), picked up the slack as I become pretty much bed ridden.

I can attest that this had a very destermental effect on her health. Not only having to manage the house, school, etc but also without any support from anyone. At the same time watching me go from someone who use to be able to squat 500lbs to someone who couldn't be trusted to wash dishes without breaking a few because I had lost all feeling, balance, and depth perception.

Go one night, hearing your daughter sob in her room because she doesn't want you to see she's hurting and scared from what YOU are going through and then come back and comment because right now you are a very ignorant human to think it doesn't. Especially since see already lost one parent.

A union that can't strike is a shared suggestion box at best. The ultimate power of a union boils down to the ability to deny labor to businesses and support it's members through that period in order to bargain.
Hersh also referred to some of my friends as a “JSOC assassination squad” controlled by Cheney.

> [native] much harder to develop

Balderdash! Tools like Delphi/Lazarus, Visual Basic, Clarion, PowerBuilder made it snap. Sure, they may not be "enterprise" or for writing word processors, but for everyday CRUD they are far simpler than typical web stacks. I lived it and did it.

Everyone thinks tools that don't scale (team size or performance) should be dumped, but doing things well at the smaller end is a good thing. One size rarely fits all well.

> are implemented completely different on each platform.

Lazarus can do Windows, Mac, and Linux. But I'd really like to see a state-ful GUI markup standard so apps could send text (HTTP) gui commands/XML instead of tie them to binary libraries.

> they are way more limiting in terms how things should be done

"Should be"? Biz wants practical over time-drain-idealistic. Too much should-be is a YAGNI violation.

> web standards are battle tested and improve every year

Any commonly used standard has that benefit. And web standards are a poor fit for GUI/desktop/CRUD. You'd have to break backward compatibility to solve that because DOM is inherently flawed for that need.
I often use it for :

- showing a POC running locally / quick demo/ short terms project

- debug incoming webhook or the like.
Let’s say you have a service where you can register a URL, and that the service will post a http request to you when a event occurs.

I use ngrok, piped to a local handler. It’s convenient
I like it too, but I stopped using it because of the user interface. I should check it again, but the text was so tiny and the dark mode so dark that more than one group I was in gave up and moved back to doing everything in Signal groups despite Keybase's technical superiority for many purposes. It's a great tool that was just tiring to use, an issue which has been PGP's Achilles heel since the outset.
Relating this back to social media, I've noticed that at times younger people almost exert a social pressure to link all behavior to anything remotely traumatic. I've had some shitty stuff happen to me, life has had it's rough points, but I've always felt pretty lucky overall. I've noticed in arguments with roommates/friends/etc who are younger by a few years, there is significantly more forgiveness towards anything that can even be tangentially linked to something that can be identified as a trauma. I noticed it because over time it led me to start slowly reframing experiences and actually focusing more on the damage they'd done. And its funny, the most traumatizing experience of my life has probably been the push to open up and focus on my traumas. My mental health has improved a lot since distancing myself from people who are too eager to focus on trauma. I wonder how that plays into the whole social mental health conversation. Like when does starting a conversation and destigmatizing a topic turn into feeding it and enabling it? Not to say by any means mental health was handled well before, but I think we might have made something of a deal with the devil in how we frame mental health on social media.
Right. My hope would be that language tooling offering library developers visibility into compile-time information about library usage would reduce their desire to insert run-time collection instead.
Russia would be an idiot to start a war with Ukr…oh wait a minute
Before the internet (I'm that old :( life was dull and had no meaning. I used to pick up trivia (useless facts!) and was ridiculed for it (who cares! why do you learn these useless things!)

Now that I live inside the biggest library in the world I feel alive, any and all knowledge I want is an instant away (so many times I liken it to the Matrix scene where Neo downloads new learnings and exclaims that he "knows Kung Fu")

I still look at "useless" information, but my interests in Politics, Computer Science, and to a lessor extent Economics are properly satiated.

It might be an addiction, but it's a hang of a lot better than drinking/drugs.
I'm honestly really shocked by your stance on this. Regardless of whether or not this information is credible, this seems like text book flame war kindling. In the past, I've thought HN's policy of "you can discuss things like this in other forums" was wise and I've been corrected by it myself many times. Why wouldn't that apply in this case?
Who cares what a Brexit supporting bigot is doing
Maybe not today with the internet and the speed at which this stuff gets out. Things get hacked and documents leak digitally which is way easier than someone breaking into a physical building and riffling through old documents. Additionally as we have seen with Trump, Biden and Pence it appears that the way the administration deals with secret documents can be quite sloppy.
I mostly degoogled about 6 years ago. Focus on what you use the most, and would least like them to take away and find 1 acceptable alternative. Move that. Repeat.

Eventually you will be forced to accept either some losses(getting everything out of google docs), a long chore, or some google use.
On the contrary, it is an objective portrayal of the facts which is not clouded by political smoke and mirrors.

Washington defeated Germany and Japan in the 1940s and proceeded to demilitarize them and occupy them with its own forces. This is historically standard military practice. It is not a "nice gesture" from Washington. It was all part of a coherent strategy to contain and confront the rival USSR, around which Germany and Japan represent critical nodes.
The dismissive statement "people have made similar claims before, therefore this claim isn't true" is one of my pet peeves. You see it a lot around issues like this as a way to not engage with an argument.

It's an obvious fallacy: it doesn't matter if something was said in the past, or whether or not it was true when said before. The only thing that matters is whether it is true in this case.
That only works in the US though. Colleges outside the US don't tend to care about extra-curriculars, etc.
Teenage Engineering is fast becoming the official brand of vain idiots with too much money and too little common sense.

I mean $1600 USD for a few bits of aluminum and a piece of plywood?! This thing would be overpriced relative to manufacturing costs if it cost $160, yet Teenage Engineering have slapped an entire extra digit onto the end of the price.

TE literally made ONE good product over a decade ago (The original OP-1) and have just been milking every last ounce of goodwill from the market since then with their overpriced, overhyped toys and "Designs."

I'll also never forgive them for jacking up the price of the original OP-1 well into it's lifecycle (When by all rights manufacturing costs have gone down and it should be CHEAPER) just because the used market was hot. Just sleazy, greedy, pompous pricks.
The OPCW leaks confirmed that the “rebels” staged gas attacks. That has never been refuted by anyone— only attacks against the messengers, similar to yours.
What's with the question mark in the title? Hersh certainly doesn't frame this as a question.

Unless it's a miskey of some kind which sounds like the most plausible explanation.

I anecdotally found that the less a person understands finance and economics, the more likely they are to make extremely confident absolute statements on their state and future direction.
My two cents would be on F#.

Yes, isn't a mainstream language but there are a lot of interesting things with it:

- build for .NET or languages supported by Fable (JavaScript, Dart*, Python*, Rust*, PHP*) - I did build a proof of concept Flutter app with it

- multiparadigm - FP or OO, you choose

- clean syntax - based on indent just like Python

- Type providers, type inference, ...

* These are on Fable 4.0.0-theta-018 at moment

Netflix – An Update on Sharing
While this sentiment is common, I've honestly never had this experience. Every Windows experience I've had post-Me has been a slow but steady improvement in stability.

I have Windows 10 for work and Windows 11 at home and I honestly forget that they are different OSes most of the time. I just do what I need to do on my machines and the OS stays out of the way.

Sure, I could say the right-click menu out-of-the-box is slightly more annoying now, and I've sure I could come up with a list of things like that for most releases at this point. UAC was a major shift, but I needed one.

But overall, there just aren't very memorable differences between the different OSes. Aside from the fact that BSOD occurrences have steadily decreased up until Windows 10 at which point they almost stopped entirely.
I wasn't disputing your userspace ABI thing. But you said "There's no ... need [to run an LTS kernel] for regular users". Regular users like their hardware not to break, which means LTS kernels are useful.

If everything is working for you, and you don't need any features or enhancements from a newer kernel, it's totally reasonable for a normal user to not want to risk frequent kernel upgrades.
Typically three unnamed sources with domain knowledge are required. It's telling that no editor chose to run this and Hersh has to self-publish. I wish you would reconsider the folks flagging this.
It takes time for your place to cool down enough for that to be an issue, and proper pipe insulation is also a normal thing here.
Great question. I am in the process of creating some public documentation for the OpenZiti project vs [insert tech]. OpenZiti is more akin to Wireguard (i.e., open source), CloudZiti is more comparable to Tailscale (hosted SaaS)

Here are some shorted bullets vs Wireguard (with references to Tailscale).

- Rather than connecting machines, Ziti cares about connecting "services" with zero trust networking concepts. This can be surmised as Wireguard being 'default-open' whereas ZT is 'default-closed'. Wireguard is normally combined with a firewall to deliver ACLs and network segmentation controls.

- Whereas WireGuard securely encapsulates IP packets over UDP and uses hole punching, OpenZiti uses TCP and a mesh overlay (with the outbound only at source and destination). This is how Tailscale implements Wireguard to ensure it works easily in all situations. All of this is open-source and native to OpenZiti, not in Wireguard.

- Due to OpenZiti's uses of identity in the endpoints and fabric for routing, you also get private DNS, unique naming and outbound connections. No need to use floating or static IPs, easily handle overlapping, and have no need for port forwarding or NAT issues.

- While with OpenZiti you can start with "network-based zero trust" (installing a router in private IP space) and progress to "host-based zero trust" (using an agent/tunneller); it also has a suite of SDKs to embed in apps themselves for "application-based zero trust".

P.S., OpenZiti uses the Windows TUN (WinTun) that the Wireguard project made as (at least) part of our Windows tunneler. Thanks, Wireguard!
Not sure what ideal theory you mean. I didn't state any.

Most of the code in my Linux distro is written in C, yet I don't see many segfaults or data corruption in my favorite tools, even those exposed to the internet. It just works. Supposed buffer overflows and double-frees don't affect me daytoday despite 95%+ code I run being written in C, "catastrophic" issues like heartbleed notwithstanding.

People make mistakes, sure. They'll make them with "safe" languages, too. Rust programs are not immune from mistakes. They'll just be of a different kind.

PHP is memory safe, and there were many easily exploited (not just exploitable) vulnerabilities in software written with PHP. (and it doesn't even have escape hatches out of its memory safety)

The fact that whatever you're talking about has a blockchain built in tells me everything I need to know.
I just took a risk and Google image searched "goatse" and, while I can't recommend it, I didn't get the real picture even after I scrolled down a little. I got memes of sfw, maybe a little edgy, like one meme had a cup of peanut butter handle at an angle that could pass for the real thing at a glance, but it's filtered. And I am logged in with safe search completely disabled. It's basically the same results I get in an incognite window. SafeSearch filters are going to be even more aggressive now, you don't have to worry.

I have a feeling it's pre-emptive to avoid further regulation. The EU, most recently France, has been pushing really hard or already implemented a "porn passport" system where your ability to see mature content requires id. I just came across news that Louisiana has a new law as of a couple weeks ago that requires users verify their age using a digital drivers id app. That app is managed by a private company, not the government directly. I can't imagine a search engine like Google would intentionally make its own search worse. Adult content is huge in terms of traffic generated.

For me personally it helps to build something directly with my customers. Wow them with my solution, think of better ways to solve their problems.
The Gulf of Tonkin involved the US claiming that a US ship was fired upon as a pretense to declare war in retaliation. The idea here is that the US blew up a Russian pipeline in order to... what? Declare war on Russia in retaliation for Russia's own pipeline being destroyed? This makes no sense unless you're accusing Russia of blowing up the pipeline.
Man, the aithor (no idea who that is...) should write a spy novel around this. As a fictional setting it would be great! As anything else, not so much.

Heck, the Baltic states, along with Poland and the Scandinavian countries, have some of the best naval divers and EODs on the planet, virtue of having the priviledge of cleaning two world wars worth of mines, bombs and torpedoes from the Baltic sea...

This piece should be flagged to death, especially since it is, giving it the most (and IMHO undeserved) credit pure speculation.

Edit: Just looked Seymore Hersh up, now I know why the name rang a bell. Well, for My Lai he had proof and sources, didn't he?
They also add their company logo as a watermark to screenshots of other people's tweets. I don't like the feeling I get from this site.
I'm not making a claim that Russia did it, but they would have -more- to gain than the US would have to lose if the US were found to have actually done it...given it would upend and basically destroy NATO and completely isolate the US from its own allies. Hence the theory doesn't hold water.
Part of the distinction between why this process has been made harder is primarily due to finances. If you do not get a scholarship, you are expected to have a job. Not a good job either specifically crafted for 18 year olds so they can get used to work and also handle school properly. No, we throw them into the depths of dealing with ghoulish customers with no way to climb so of course they feel they have to go to school to get out. It's a self reinforcing cycle of pressure.
The ideas in The Prince may be repugnant but this book is read by Wall Street traders and other business people world-wide. I mean, if I asked it about Lao Tsu's Art of War (another popular business book) and all it told me was war is bad and I should stop considering it then the chat program would be pretty useless.

Since posting, I've realized the answer is the proliferation of chat bots that are tuned for their audience. Also that Google, OpenAI and Microsoft are correct in deferring to those (future) chatbots. Still, I worry that the bland consumer models will train people in a way that makes them compliant to corporate values.
Came here to make this exact same comment, including the "I love TS but wish it wasn't built on JS" sentiment. I explored Rust recently and was disappointed to see there's no stdlib Decimal, but instead there are multiple community implementations - so I'd have to sort through and vet the right one.

Are you trying to say that biology is the root cause? The content is successful as it emits a reaction from us. Whether a good reaction or a bad one, we still engage with it. Whether you're binge watching a TV show you love or hate scrolling a subreddit that makes you angry, the content is designed to elicit some form of reaction that keeps you coming back or memetically passing it on.

However that is not a new development in our biology, we've always been that way. It's just that we're exploiting those aspects of ourselves more and more. Weaponising it to extract as much profit as possible.

You could go another way, I guess, and say that capitalism is the root cause as "profit at any cost" allows the justification of these actions.
It’s clearly reasonable to believe that a major power would attack energy supplies against an adversary. It is not reasonable to believe that just before winter a major power attacks the energy supplies that its essential allies need. Especially when that major power desires a unified political and military response to said adversary. It defies common sense and logic to think the U.S. did this. Of course, there are lots of examples of countries doing things that defy common sense and logic.
