That's a way to turn off the keyboard's function key assigned to the play media command, so you won't accidentally activate it.

The issue being discussed here is that certain bluetooth headsets send the play command when they connect. Hence the open source software to prevent that errant play command from launching a media app, if you happen to own a bluetooth headset that has the issue.
they can enforce it when you travel to the EU
The EU doesn't have a tech sector and is therefore very happy to destroy the services from other countries with stupid regulations. This is pretty clear after the cookie banners.
nice! thanks for making the tool
>ability to define your own functions to determine if a target is up-to-date.

Yes! A modular make-like would allow the tool to fit any scale. Imagine not only being able to define the up-to-date function, but being able to plug into remote build caches, and perform remote execution of build rules. There are already tools like this, such as Bazel, but they are less appropriate for the small scale than Make. The closest that I know of is BuildKit and related projects.
Frankly I'm surprised they haven't dropped off already. I revisited them recently and it's now 90% self-fellating political posts.
It is the same idea that they had for a Space Shuttle. Reusable vehicle that can be used many times and make space accessible. Unfortunately, Space Shuttle did not make that a reality as it was too complex and required a large multi month refurbishment after each mission.

Starship should be able to solve that issue and make space accessible. At least that is the idea. We will see how it ends up.
I'm wondering what the term "launch window" is referring to here. When one is going somewhere in space, it makes sense to me, as one wants things to be lined up well for an efficiency (/possibility). i.e. the launch window is when we can get where we want to go, and if we launch outside of it, we wont be able to. But if one is just going up and going down without any real concern of going anywhere in specific, what does a launch window mean?

I can imagine it perhaps has to do with having a "clear space" to launch, but that seems something much more flexible. I'm wondering what it means here?

Yes. However, capturing a NEO might still be more difficult than just using a longer tether.
No sometimes its BGP, the stuff of nightmares.
living in a midsize French city, this has not at all been my experience. Could be due to sampling bias (I'm basing this off of people I know, who are probably not representative of the population as a whole), but most people here seem pretty open sexually.
I've never seen a production FSM that I liked. Although admittedly they're better than many ad-hoc alternatives.

My problems with them being that they cram together pieces of information that could be considered separatedly.

For instance you could write a FSM that transitions from "paid" to "delivered"... or you could have two columns, paid_at and delivered_at, and consider those two columns orthogonal.

As I see it, it scales better for humans - it's easier for us to consider 10 or 20 things separately than as part of an intrincate, bespoke rule system.

You can still have some simple validation rules e.g. "delivered_at can't be set if paid_at hasn't been set". Which probably, if you squint is like a FSM in some mathematical sense, but in practice much complexity is avoided.
Excellent TLDR. Thanks!

I'm wondering if my source-available work under non-commercial licenses (nevertheless permitted to be used by public / government institutions) would be automatically exempted (as it's outside the commercial realm)?

I literally just today published the source (not under an OSS license) of a major product in the remote browser isolation space: https://github.com/dosyago/BrowserBoxPro
Doesn't the main issue lie in platform specific features? For example, after syndication on Twitter someone DMs you with relevant information to your post.

It's imo the problem with something like GitHub as well. Git is already decentralized and if you push to GitHub you still have your local copy of the repo. But then if someone creates a pull request on the platform not only do you have to use the platform but some data will stay on and only exist on the platform.
Proton Password Manager
Neat! Proton made a password manager.
>The cheapest and most popular rocket today in terms of cost per kilogram sent to low-earth-orbit is the SpaceX Falcon 9, which is estimated to cost about $2700/kg. If the Starship meets its goals, it will cost $10/kg to LEO.

I've read that the cost will be $2700/kg even if Starship is completely expended; that is, no reuse. But far, far, far larger payloads, of course.
now that I am fine with, but i still think this is nutty overall. there's nothing wrong with anon contributions to software.
It was really a shame the Amiga failed as a general purpose machine. In the end, even the ST, which was much better positioned to be one - cheaper to build, could read/write PC floppies, had a standard hard-disk port - failed to make a sizeable dent...

This is the best move for most people IMO. The split setup is significantly more comfortable and your posture will thank you. But picking one with a traditional staggered layout means you’re already used to it.

Most people don’t want to have to relearn how to type in order to get more comfort. And switching to a linear layout and especially if you’re switching to Dvorak or Colemak you’ll be doing a lot of relearning.

I wish there were more options in the staggered split space though. Thankfully the mistel barocco is solid, but it is one of only a few options.
That was a trip down memory lane. I loved the Amiga, I owned 3 of them at one stage, but ended up moving on after the collapse of Commodore.
Still has a place in my nostalgic heart though
Personally, I find the cyber security act to be a difficult topic. I generally agree that there should be some form of liability for software, but the list of cases I can imagine make it difficult to decide on the criteria. Most of the proposed changes seem to easily lead to changes in business models to avoid said liability.
Yeah, the content took a HARD turn to the left in the last few years. I don't remember it being anywhere near as political even as recently as 5yrs ago. That suggests either a dramatic change in audience, or some algorithmic change that pushed that content more. I'd love to know what actually happened.

I don't really do IT support any more, but when 'the internet was broken' at work last week my first reaction was to open cmd and nslookup a week known site! On corporate networks a missing dns server has been a major cause of issues.
They have to reserve airspace and "sea space" so no one can stumble under the path of a rocket which may explode.

They have to empty the town nearby, close roads, etc.

They also arranged a NASA plane to come and observe.
I want to allow good spiders but not these, how do you differentiate them in access logs?
Disaster is complete demolition of the launch site, setting their schedule back many months and costing them a rumored hundreds of millions to rebuild. They've run enough tests to support reasonable confidence that won't happen. The directionality towards mass manufacturing the rockets, instrumenting to observability scale data collection to feed engineering course corrections, and resilience to setbacks is promising.
They have NOTAMs out to keep the airspace clear, and also have to keep a few different sections of sea clear of marine traffic (2 landing zones, and an area surrounding the takeoff zone). Add to that road closures, people evacuated from the local village etc, you just can't carry on with all this for an extended period of time.

Tell HN: ChatGPT is fantastic for finding and solving issues in logs
Just paste in a chunk of systemd (or whatever) logs and start asking questions. Often just pasting in the logs and pressing enter results in it identifying potential problems and suggesting solutions. It helped me troubleshoot a huge amount of issues on linux desktops and servers that would have taken me a lot longer with google - even if it doesn't always give the right solution, 99% of the time it at least points to the source of the error and gives me searchable keywords.

Note it works much better with GPT4 - gpt3.5 tends to hallucinate a bit too often.
It's a common misconception that the A501 expansion included an RTC - it was actually a time bomb.

While you may be correct, I'd caution it could be dangerous to attempt re-identifying any portrait of The Chuck.

For me, it's safety first... whoever it was, it's now Chuck Norris.
I don’t think this is a very controversial take, and I’m not arguing against the value of a CS degree. You just can’t assume that someone knows even foundational topics because they have one.
Tutorial: Creating Web Forms in COBOL
Enough to cause some drag, and because of that it needed to have an aerodynamic shape and a continuously operating ion engine to avoid orbital decay because of that drag. But not enough air to actually produce lift, so no wings, just fins for stabilization. So the sleek shape which led to it being perceived as beautiful was actually technically motivated. To me it looks more like a rocket than an aircraft TBH...

Is this for real? If there are people that want to hold independent volunteers responsible, that would kill the world. Most of our current technology is stacked on top of OSS developers that worked for free. Now they can be responsible for any bug someone might find? Then, who would bother to continue putting code out there to share. This can't be right.

It would be like holding people responsible if someone got hit on the head by an apple that fell from the tree they planted as a volunteer on earth day.
I would say it's more male sexuality (primarily hetero) and female sexuality that is seen as threatening and uncontrolled that is categorized as grotesque. Things like OnlyFans has never been more normal.
I don’t think I’d ever 100% trust a diagram (of a state machine or anything else, really). They become out of sync way too easily.
Sometimes, yes - whether that wrapper's improved now I don't know, but at the time it wasn't sufficient. I found a forum post somewhere at the time which included some kind of deep library patching magic - it worked but I rather doubt I'd be able to find it again now.

I stand corrected. Is it true nevertheless that open source software must make its source code publicly available? And that "free" is generally stronger than "open"?

I use a plugin for Visual Studio that lets me add an image to comments and it’s wonderful even if it is a bit janky. If you don’t have the plugin, you still see a reference to an image file that you can click on to load in an external viewer and this a decent fallback.

I don’t know why this hasn’t become a standard feature of IDEs and editors.

Seems to be a good chunk of (educated) conjecture.
As you say, state machines are the best thing around.

As for the "paid" and "delivered" _states_ in relation to paid_at and delivered_at timestamps. You can have your cake and eat it too.
Yes pretty good compared to the balkan alternative of tens of independent countries each trying to protect their interests alone.

Also you completely disregarded the human rights component which is a founding principle of EU and beyond (Council of Europe). What is democracy with strong mandate good for when there's no strong independent court involved in human rights?
My rule of thumb is if you think the variable type may be useful to others reading your code, append it to the end. This is generally useful if you have the same data going through different forms.

Let's see if I can write something, that others understand with no context.

//For this example let's ignore the nuances of names.
function (nameUserinput) {
if(isValidName(nameUserinput)) {
return processName(nameUserinput))
} else {
return { first: '', middle: '', last: '' }
}
}

function isValidName () {
return (containsAtLeastOneSpace(nameUserinput) &&
containsLessThanThreeSpaces(nameUserinput) &&
hasThreeOrMoreCharacters(nameUserinput) &&
noSpacesOnEnd(nameUserinput))
}

function processName (nameUserinput) {
const nameObj = { middle: '' };
const nameUserinputArray = nameUserinput.split(' ');
if(nameUserinputArray.length = 2) {
[nameObj.first,
nameObj.last] = nameUserinputArray;
} else if(nameUserinputArray.length = 3) {
[nameObj.first,
nameObj.middle,
nameObj.last] = nameUserinputArray;
}
}

nameObj and nameUserinput and nameUserinputArray are all the same data in different forms. I think it's helpful to start them with the same prefixes, but change the suffix with the type to communicate that.

You could imagine taking this a step further, with nameStatemachine. You might chart a person's course through life, do they go to law school, medical school, get married etc.

I've been meaning to write a blog post on this. But this does follow my most important words first rule. You'll see a lot of similarities there, just not on this exact topic.

Well, there's always the (quite literally in this case) nuclear option. But I hope not even Putin is crazy enough for that...
How do you check, that your state-machine is not stuck. Its still shocking how much software can "hang", as if there is no way to detect that and reset to a "controllable" state via watchdog and error message. Its a disgrace, that such software engineering basic functionality has to be performed by the operating system.

Reddit moderators are, by and large, terrible people. If they quit, as the guy in your link is threatening to do, they can be trivially replaced. It is not a thing that requires much skill.

There is no shortage of people who would volunteer for something like this. The replacements might even be less terrible, both at the job (reddit is stiflingly over-moderated, as documented on r/undelete and r/redditminusmods) and in their dealings with users.
It is for real, but what you write is why it will never hold up. It is a bug in the legal text.
It was always rather left but at least it was clever left. Now it may as well be copied from some octogenarian's Facebook profile. "Like THIS if you think Donald Trump should be in JAIL!"

Frankly, hearing grade-school versions of my own opinions parroted back at me ad nauseum is more annoying than if the posts were coming from other end of the spectrum. At least you can make a useful comment on something you disagree with. Now Imgur is all echo chamber all the time.

They don't mention it explicitly except in one place:

This advice implies they are using flash attention.
I utterly despise this mindset that you can just take rich people's money. I get getting rid of the monarchy but all that UK land the government pays them for and any other riches they have are theirs.

You are no better than a common thief if you take what does not belong to you regardless of who the owner is or who you are. And that includes any government. People get to own stuff. If someone's riches cannot be proven as unlawfully obtained by the laws of the time when they were obtained, then taking that money against their will is pure and simple theft.

The silliness behind these types of thinking is that they make it sound like there is a shortage of money. Money can be printed if that's all you want. If riches are being obtained wrongly the pass laws to fix that, don't tell me how nice it would be to steal from the rich, If I wanted to steal assume I would steal from you first. It insults me how people assume others will join on their merry band if robbin-hood-esque thieves.

People here seem to be forgetting that Open Source was a community driven ideal first. The License came later as "protection". Corporations were stealing code and there was no recourse. The variety of open source licenses were created to provide a framework for the community, to fight off stealing, to keep it open.

Programmers want to program, they started sharing code, then corporations started using it, and erasing the authors names. Originally there was no 'License', programmers didn't come together for the fun of creating 'Licenses'. They were forced to create license to cover their code to keep it open for anybody to use. The original licenses were really just to keep it free and provide attribution, so the authors were known.
This is a good example of people making questionable practical decisions based on good principles. Yes, in principle it'd be good if you were agnostic of your cloud provider. But there's a few issues with it. Firstly, you're going to work so much harder doing what you want to do on AWS whilst avoiding doing the things AWS wants you to do. They're not dumb! You don't want to be locked in? They really want you locked in and they're going to work very hard to make that happen. Secondly, the likelihood of you ever actually making the decision to leave is extremely low, so you're paying all these costs for what is at best a theoretically risk. And finally, even if you do everything perfectly and never depend on anything uniquely amazon.... leaving is still going to suck! It's still going to be a huge amount of work to migrate away!

I am genuinely concerned about the author's mental well-being. This is not an ad hominem attack. Based on the limited sample size of this one article, I am genuinely worried.

Who said anything about compilation?

Compilation is the use-case that helped make to gain traction. Make has long become outdated for the specific use-case, but it otherwise remains a fantastic general-purpose automation tool.
An artist « uses » licensed content all the time, just to learn. If we start taxing the learning process (not the teacher, but the learning material itself), then we’re in trouble.

And it’s going to be even worse with multimodal ai and robotics : imagine a robot walking in the streets, looking at cars, and ads, and people, then generate original content based on what it saw on the street (much like a human do). Who’s going to collect for all the licensed content it was exposed to ?

I can live without split.

I would consider any keyboard with a large spacebar less than ideal, though.

I like my thumbs to be able to reach 2-3 keys each. That way, as well as space, my thumbs can be used for tab, escape, backspace, and return. -- I find that having these keys accessible to the thumbs (& not having to move my hands or reach with my pinky fingers) to hit these keys such an obvious win for efficiency.

Using home-row mods is another technique that allows for reducing reliance on the pinky fingers. By putting Alt, Gui, Ctrl, Shift underneath asdf (and ;lkj), these keys are accessible without having to move my hands.

As others said, maybe you're overestimating the amount of progress that you can make in a short time.

I'd estimate that a higher proportion of 'people who are enthusiastic about these small keyboards' are programmers (& thus need to be able to access all sorts of symbols) compared to the general computing population.
People who will have to vendor that code.
