“They” in your 2nd paragraph is probably making it hard to reason out.

You’re imagining Russia to be a nation with somewhat rational self interest, right? It isn’t.

Russia today is Vladimir Putin serving Vladimir Putin’s interests. He is desperately trying not to be ousted after having stepped on his own dick in Ukraine. Destroying his own asset could have been motivated by wanting to reduce the value of what a would-be challenger might gain control of should they try to depose him.
"Only if you're very lucky do you actually know any of these things."

No, if someone is spreading false information, then this gives the solid information, that this source is tainted.

And everything else is speculation, yes.
Nobody sane runs FREB at full prod load on public sites. It's not installed by default. It is highly useful for troubleshooting but not at production traffic. Seems like if you're inside IIS already by some mystic hack you already own the space.
Why? That's a completely different article.
Lead developer here. The intent from the start was to make an open-source design for the explicit purpose of encouraging adoption. The cubesat and smallsat industry as a whole could really use more standardization.

In short: Writing a white-paper saying "plz use Ethernet in your cubesat" is one thing. Writing one that says "plz use Ethernet, we're using it for all of our new cubesats, and by the way here's the source code for the Ethernet switch" is quite another.

For us, the main advantage is having a mixed-media switch. The Slingshot-1 cubesat launched July 2022 literally has UARTs and gigabit Ethernet (SGMII) on the same LAN.
This is true of most "public servant" roles. TSA employees, public school teachers, etc. - none of them, as a class, have the nominal productive capability of their job as the highest priority.
Not really. If someone says "Full self driving beta" I'm thinking "The goal is full self driving, the current approach should deliver full self driving, beta means that it requires some tweaks and testing".
i think disproportionately more people would enjoy the feature being made native. There's no reason the third party app has to go away, fans could keep using it.
"it is unclear how this access was achieved"

Not a good line in a write up like this. Windows does write n store an awful lot of logs by default. However thanks to circular logging with log sizes from the 1990s on critical logs, you can easily lose information.

I can't remember what the defaults are (connects to 2016 AD DC) ... 20Mb for %SystemRoot%\System32\Winevt\Logs\Security.evtx . On a tiddly setup like mine (20 odd users), that will last ... less than a day.

I ship the logs elsewhere for proper evaluation etc but 20Mb? Yes, you can fiddle with the default sizes via group policy and you probably should but 20Mb really is off of the 1990s. OK so all the "core" logs seem to be 20Mb each and there are the rest under /Microsoft/Windows with varying sizes. I probably ought to look at what a PC logs these days - probably the same silly sizes.
The open plan office layout suffers productivity loss when a coworker with recreational drug problems and relationship problems brings that to work.

I've heard the story of tennis enthusiasts being the prime movers of the open plan layout.
It's a full self driving 'beta' though, it's literally in the name that it isn't final and doesn't have the bugs worked out. You also have to opt in to it.
Anarcho-tyranny: the police will not enforce the law, but they will punish you if you enforce it yourself.
The key phrase being 'generally'. Really advanced L2 assistance features that bleed into L3+ abilities like FSD work right up until they don't, then they hand control back to a driver who is not situationally aware enough to safely operate the vehicle. "Full Self Driving" is stretching those three terms far beyond the breaking point and Tesla should absolutely be slapped down by the FTC for false and misleading advertising.

If Tesla wants to take legal responsibility for the car while FSD is engaged they call it full self driving. Until then it's a dangerous beta test pedestrians and other road users didn't sign up for.

I like my tesla, but autopilot drives like a poorly trained teenager and I don't ever use it. FSD isn't much better and needs to be tested with proper rigour by trained employees of Tesla, not random owners.
It's usually the right choice if the software runs on a Windows host. Why add a whole bunch of third party problems on top?

A lot of enterprise software is built in .NET for Windows, and as the expectation of web-based UIs for said software has increased... honestly I'd be surprised if IIS usage wasn't increasing in overall uses (though not in market share, for certain).
I’m fairly sure most people would prefer that Apple offers a version of the Smart App Banner that gives users a simpler install experience for PWAs. I think saurik was just humoring yamtaddle‘s perspective that PWAs should not be able to prompt for installation ever, and pointing out that it would only be fair to apply their restriction to websites offering native apps too.

Right now, the install process for PWAs is needlessly obtuse compared to what users experience with a Smart App Banner.

I saw someone elsewhere comment on the number of taps required with both methods, and I would point out that not all taps are equal. The simple, guided flow that the Smart App Banner gives users is tremendously easier for users to figure out than the “Add to Home Screen” flow that currently exists.
Have you worked in government/defense? I only know two people who have jumped to google and they did not think google was as bad.
So perhaps these interactive LLM's could also be used to track employee behavior? If employee interactions train the LLM then you can ask the LLM for a progress report on a project for example. I wonder how much non-public data is already leaking out of companies via search engines. Seems like a problem for the militaries of the world as well. As AI's become very useful they will also become large security risks, kind of like telling all your secrets to an idiot savant. The savant part is useful, but the idiot part of an AI seems likely to be a problem.
Not the OP, but Fishscapes, Bierhaus, Milk Pail, Sprouts, LazerQuest all gone, couldn't afford the rent. And that's just Mountain View. Retail that residents loved has been replaced by establishments exclusively for tech bros.

Edit: Forgot about Game Kastle and Lee's Comics. Really I could go on all day. These community establishments are gone and never coming back ever, as long as Google lives.
I've been in-house and wound up being the last programmer maintaining the massive pile of tech debt. We had ordering issues and couldn't run our tests in parallel due to global state problems. And it wasn't a mistake here or there, it was the accumulation of a decade of issues. I took a few stabs at it, but doing a week or two of work here and there never moved it significantly forwards. The minitest author took a run at fixing a few of the problems and recommended scrapping the tests entirely and doing a full rewrite. There was no way that I had the time to do that (literally, like me). The answer of course was that the company was effectively dead and it was long past time to quit.
Best investment a growing company can make is in somebody with a library science degree or proven research skills. The force multiplier this can create is huge and their value has only increased with technology.
I too have written force features. You've likely never seen this, but in tool design, prefer git push's --force-with-lease design.

Force With Lease says "I believe X is true, and because of that, force". The tool can check that X is indeed true, and if so force, but if it's not true the human was wrong and they ought to re-consider and obtain a new "lease" before we make the change.

In Git this "lease" is the current ref of a remote, if we specify this, but actually it's wrong, that means the state of the remote system has changed, and we need to re-consider whether our forced change is still appropriate. e.g. While you and Bill were quickly changing colors.js to hackily disable dark mode, turns out Sarah guessed the actual bug, and replaced main.css with a patched version that works fine even in dark mode, if you force-push your change, instead of zapping the broken change it zaps Sarah's fix!

This approach works best where you can actually take some sort of "lock" and avoid clashes at the tool level, but there's some benefit even without that at the human level.
This exactly. The radio has the encryption; the LAN doesn't really need it. If you send a robot to wiretap the satellite then we're in trouble, but that's true regardless.
Wrong question. Why not? I want everything to be encrypted. Something must be left out and it should be the least possible amount. Leaving out the kernel is clearly not the least possible.
They should have rolled with “Slof” and use the “f” as a phonetic writing of “th”
Having been away from the JS world for ~5 years, it has been an eye-opener to come back to ES 2022 + VS Code + JSDoc + //@ts-check. I'm writing an application in one big HTML file with one big script tag and no build system, and actually kind of liking it. We'll see if it scales as far as I need it to, but for now I have something with decent DX and minimal bit-rot risk.
This is not an econometric definition. (To the degree it is, the definition contains a free variable regarding the length of the downturn.) Doubting federal statistics or the Fed balance sheet because the White House spins the definition of a downturn is like doubting relativity because Pluto isn't a planet.
>it is considered racist and sinophobic to ask if the coronavirus outbreak that originated in Wuhan, might possibly be related to the coronavirus research center in Wuhan.

These (name-calling) are the refuge of a coward who won't consider that they could be wrong because that possibility would call into question other parts of their tightly held beliefs.

Thanks for Jon Stewart, I miss that guy and his humorous way of presenting stories to his audience.
I love the UI but making each comment an HTML table is making me very uncomfortable.
yeah, speaking to friends there…many are in buildings much further out and there’s no free food, even at Apple Park.

So very much getting the full employee experience then.

The complaints about stock are valid, but that’s kind of the nature of the difference I guess
Then UEFI boot is not for you.
"that I'd surely Bombe" <- nice bletchley park/enigma pun. Bravo!
fwiw rarely does the A or B round buys the previous investor’s shares.
I'm definitely a fan of Vite personally. You can tell the project prioritized a focus on developer experience outcomes and its very well executed in my opinion.

But the core package is ~27k SLOC with upwards of 40 dependencies. Thats an indirect, but poignant statement illustrating how much work goes into solving just a tooling problem. And while it may hide some of the overhead in its own abstraction, which it does a fantastic job of, the overhead is still there and it can still break in arcane ways.

I think the spirit of the question of "why do we even need Vite in the first place?" is whats really being explored in the original post.

I certainly don't shy away from build tools at all, but I do often try to start projects without them just as an exercise to see if they really ever end up being needed. Especially when its so easy to drop-in something like Vite after the fact if its necessary and/or clearly adds an outsized return on investment.
Yeah it's great as an assistant to a critical thinking human, people who are criticizing it are either doing it for clickbait aka money or expected it go think for them.

Like it showed me how to split an audio file into parts with ffmpeg, I'm sure I knew it at some point but it took me less time than reading the -h or looking for an answer on stackoverflow, especially with google's greed that it stopped showing stackoverflow first and sometimes leaves it to the 2nd page and fills the first with garbage, started using yandex as an alternative to google a year ago, now using it by default and google from time to time, it's sad that the best product is behind us.
> What you will actually get is half-built cars. Everywhere. You will get mobile homes and immobile RVs. You will get horses. Not rich-people horses, but "Grandma died and she had a horse and nobody knew what to do with it so we fenced part of the front yard" horses. Someone will disconnect from city sewer because they "know how to build septic". Someone will get llamas.

a) It sounds like what you're saying is "you'll get poor people". There are several things wrong with that, the first one being the rampant classism inherent in it.

b) So you'll get horses, and mobile homes. So what? Oooh, are you afraid your property values will drop? Deal with it. That's a small price to pay to enable the kinds of walkable neighborhoods mixed zoning allows, and the kind of rejuvenated communities it creates.

c) Allowing residential and commercial zones to mix has nothing to do with people trying to build their own septic systems.

All in all, it sounds to me like you experienced what happens when you live in a lower-income area, that happens not to have strong zoning laws, and your takeaway from that experience is that the lack of zoning caused the lower-income parts. Correlation is not causation, and not letting rich people stuff poor people away in a corner and forget about them is absolutely part of what we need to do.
I think it’s renewable in a somewhat weaker sense: there is a lot of iron (II) (and perhaps other minerals that can also reduce water) in the crust, and there is a lot of water, and water percolates and finds these minerals at a rate that may produce hydrogen continuously at a sufficient rate for humanity.

More strongly, even if plate tectonics were needed, it doesn’t necessarily take anywhere near 1 TW of power to move enough material to produce 1 TW worth of useful stuff. The energy in question here is chemical, not kinetic.
Ryan Davis, the author, is a well known figure in the Ruby community and has never been accused of being too subtle.

This is a little tounge in cheek, but also he means it. He is kind and generous, though won’t shy away from being abrasive to get a point across.
This malware is enabling FREB then injecting malware into it. The point is to hide the exploitation better than simply injecting a custom module. You don't need to be running FREB previously.

Plus I don't find the "nobody does [XYZ]" when talking about a supported feature of a popular product reassuring, there's always a somebody or the feature would have been removed since it costs money to support and maintain it.
You may not want to view source on HN then.
I don’t know if you’re aware of it, but if you want unaltered text content in an Excel cell, prefix it with a single quote ('). This “escapes” the value so that it isn’t interpreted as any other data type.
I think we are in agreement. The problem I have with the principle of forced telemetry is I have no way (or more precisely, time) to understand that their telemetry red-line stops with command line logging/analysis. So, I have to assume the worst with the toolchain.

Microsoft .NET also introduced opt-out telemetry (ie., turned ON by default and you could opt-out by setting an environment variable DOTNET_CLI_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT=1|true|yes). These are just dark patterns by big-tech and erode developer trust.

Ken Thompson's Turing Award lecture on "Trusting Trust" comes to mind. https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rdriley/487/papers/Thompson_1984_Ref...
16.9T of c̶c̶ household debt is around $80,000 per American adult. Not the best.

Even still, a lot of alarmist phrasing in this piece:

> During the fourth quarter of last year, mortgage originations dropped to 2019 levels

Wasn't real estate doing fairly well before the pandemic?

> While total delinquency levels remain below what was seen pre-pandemic - 2.5% of outstanding debt was in some stage of delinquency as of December versus 4.7% at the end of 2019

What's the underlying agenda here? None of this appears deeply concerning to me.

Edit: @eyphka I estimated there are approximately 300m Americans, so that's what I divided by. Turns out there are actually only 200m American adults, though, so the figure is probably more like $7-8k/American taxpayer.

Edit #2: I was off by a factor of 10! 16.9T/200m = $80,000. Sorry.
Thank you for the hard work in maintaining Brew!
> It is an asset they fully control. The idea that they damaged their own asset "to show the world they are serious" or whatever is about as likely as "to threaten Alice, Bob shot off his own foot." Is it possible? I guess so... but it doesn't make sense as the go-to explanation.

I thought the Russia's problem was that they'd already withheld delivery of gas they were contractually obligated to deliver, and this gives them a cover.

i.e. "Bob had a contract with Alice to deliver her a truckload of gold, but didn't deliver it, and swore never to deliver it. Later Bob's truck mysteriously blew up and now Bob is saying he's freed from his contract."
It’s Serbia. They will take the bribe, and then still capture him to take the bounty. Double prize.
That's the only one that's there unless you have custom firmware for the motherboard. So with UEFI, GRUB being left out is pretty small in comparison with leaving out the whole kernel.
You mean you know the outlet is unreliable, if they do it enough times. By "source" I assumed you meant the source of the story, about whom we still know nothing.
Show HN: Proxy.exposed – a simple tool for checking how anonymous a proxy is
Free proxies are generally terrible, but occasionally good.

It is still possible to find a fast, reliable, and perfectly located server for $0.

A problem often faced, however, is that these (otherwise good) servers leak your IP address or other identifying information to the sites you access.

Many free proxy lists even give misleading information regarding the anonymity levels of their servers.

So I made this little tool which lets you accurately determine the level of information your proxy server is revealing about you and the connection.

Curious if anyone thinks there's a market for this? As a fan of the Air, the weight and size is the whole point. I don't personally see how this aligns well with the original design goals of the line. It would probably still be light, but the M2 Air is already almost 14 inches.
Not by current (post 2008, and disagreed on much before that) supreme court interpretation, where the whole part about the free state and militia are a goal statement. Even if you take the militia thing to mean what you think it means, all free (i.e. non-slave/imprisoned) men between the ages of 17/18 and thirty-something would be part of the unorganized militia and required or encouraged to own a gun and other military equipment (like a rucksack, powder, ball, etc.), ready to form up in the case of unrest, invasion, tyranny, etc. I think it was actually 17-36, but don't quote me on that. It would be annoying for SCOTUS to deal with due to problems with women and the draft (congress, are you going to sort that out?), but in theory it could be workable.
An AI that tells whether or not a program will halt.
Arcane commands? Sounds like a fairly typical process to me, and a fairly typical use case. We do something similar with our Avaya CM and phone configuration and backups.
I tried the 50 free queries, and it was basically exactly the same experience as DDG. I can maybe see paying $10-$20/yr, but $10/mo? No way.
> he already has a searchable file

Wouldn’t one use an alias?
> Added WebRTC support for hardware AV1 decoding on supported device configurations.

Currently no Apple device has hardware AV1 decoding, so why support it in Safari iOS Beta? Perhaps next CPUs (A17 and M3) will have dedicated AV1-decoding hardware? Either way I think this is a hint it may be supported soon.

Great news!
Things can be used for other reasons than the reason they were invented.

It's important to pay attention to the reasons things were invented, especially things that allow different kinds of social control.

Both of these things can be true at the same time.
Angular. I'm less productive. Partly because I'm newer to it. Partly because of project structure and organization.
That’s exactly the attitude the question was asking about. You have written a few human-decades’ worth of learned experience into a codebase and a wiki, and you want new hires to look at that stuff first. Sure; I have no problem with that, every company does it because not going elsewhere to learn stuff your organisation already knows (and has recorded extra details about its experience) is obviously good and efficient.

But… “a few human-decades of learned experience” is what books are. Not all books are lists of RBTree algorithms! It’s just other people’s experience. The question was whether you think there is value in other people’s experience and what they’ve learned. Apparently your answer is “no”. This is a normal amount of arrogance for a profitable company, but it is still arrogance. It says to me that you don’t know what you don’t know. Being comfortable with identifying and admitting the things you don’t know is the opposite of arrogance and is a good thing to cultivate.

Imagine your boss announces they’re going to start hiring in the Philippines to save money. There’s no internal wiki entry for “the time we tried hiring people in the Philippines to save money, and how that went”. You are a manager and your instinct (especially self-preservation instinct) says that it probably won’t work but you don’t know why. What do you do? Does anyone ever say “let me read a book about this and come back to you next week”?
There are real forums from early 2000 running on early 2000 code. Check out https://forum.ge/
> "But, on a person-level, this financial distress is real, and the delinquent marks will impact their access to credit for years to come."

Much more likely that lenders will change their standards. Loosening/lower specifically.
That’s a rather backhanded compliment, but yes, when you use slick tools on a daily basis there’s a halo effect. Mac developers have, for decades now, taken pride in writing native applications that run well and look clean.
For all who are up in arms about police not doing their job. It is almost always the same crowd, that boo the officers for doing their job when they have to use force.

Guess people are afraid to go in rough neighborhood to retrieve their own property and police is not coming with them because they know they will have to use force to get job done. And when they actually use force, everyone including those whose property is stolen go up in arms, how can you do use that force? That is the simple reason police does not care. In cities like Baltimore and Minneapolis they even ignore shootings and murder because of woke agenda in the city as they know they will be punished for doing their jobs.

Well, may this be a lesson for those whose property is stolen and those who are shocked by no response from police, that going in rough parts of town and meeting criminals does not go very well with please and thankyou. You should be ready and willing to use force which most of the times is necessary.
Every billionaire with a rocket has made their way to space, except for one. And that is even though SpaceX has transported astronauts a few times now. I wonder why?

Math's off should be a little more than that.

Average U.S. household owes something close to six figures in debt ~ 7% growth in one year
