Not specifically related to archive.is, but news sites have a tightrope to walk.

They need to both allow the full content of their articles to be accessed by crawlers so they can show up in search results, but they also want to restrict access via paywalls. They use 2 main methods to achieve this: javascript DOM manipulation and IP address rate limiting.

Conceivably one could build a system which directly accesses a given document one time from a unique IP address and then cache the HTML version of the page for further serving.
A botnet called "future'. Meh.
At the very least the drive needs to be able to lock onto the signal. It's probably encoded in a helix on the drive and if the head isn't synchronized properly you won't get anything useful, even with a high sampling rate.
According to the FBI, 18 U.S.C. § 1030 proves you wrong, and I'm going to believe fbi.gov over anonymous HN commenters 99 times outta 100. Even if you think you're right because you think some part of the law is unconstitutional, or the way you worded the question was specifically chosen such that you think it doesn't fall under this law, or something I am not aware of idk, I don't believe that the FBI agrees with you, and they're the ones who would be charging me/my kids.

Ask HN: Do you feel we're swinging back to a life wholly in the physical world?
With the advent of AI and what seems to be the pervasive exhaustion and malnourishment of engagement in the digital world, it feels as if people are more than ever craving a connection with the physical – whether physical work, physical connection with others, physical experiences.
Fortunately for OpenAI, they have no SLAs: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/5008641-is-there-an-sla-...
Turning on your ringer is like staying home waiting for the cable man. It makes total sense. If you are always in this kind of situation all the time (on Android) you can star certain contacts and set those to ring. I do that for certain friends.
Its a bad idea to use a mutex inside of interrupt code.

seq_cst / atomics / barriers are for writing lock-free code, which is fully compatible with interrupts and other system-call level details. Its about correctness, not about speed.

--------

I had a discussion elsewhere where people seem to think that these constructs are for speed. They... really aren't. Atomics are about lock-free code, and lock-free code might be slower than locked-code/mutex code.

Lock-free code is about forward progress in all conditions. Sometimes its faster, but its an independent axis as far as software design is concerned.

I guess acquire is faster than seq_cst, and consume/relaxed would be even faster than acquire. But correctness comes first, and proving correctness in consume-style code is seemingly too difficult in practice. So acquire is where the sweet spot seems to be... at least with today's tech and understanding of multithreaded issues.
You seem to be misunderstanding the First Amendment. CSMA, classified information, defamation, copyright, etc. are all not permitted under the first amendment. Not to mention that gag orders are approved by a court and can be appealed.
Most Lenovo business laptops (thinkpad x/p series) are just as expensive as MacBooks for a business buyer. Maybe the E series are cheaper though.

Though I agree that a lot of employers seem to not even bother with a business line laptop anymore so ThinkPads or MacBooks are out of the question. I'll never understand cheaping out on laptops though. It's an even more bone headed move than not offering drinks or coffee at the office, because employees having to use cheap laptops as their 40h a week tool is just going to hurt the business. That's not even considering the support burden that comes with having a fleet of bad or slow hardware
>would prevent it from processing legitimate requests

Your friend is not hosting a server and they are not incurring damages due to having trouble connecting to the internet.

The damages from not being able process legitimate requests is like if you DDoS an ecommerce site which means that they are unable to receive orders from legitimate customers which causes them damage.
I would use SHA128, 256, or 512. As far as I know, MD5 and SHA1 can be considered broken from a security standpoint.

I think more information is needed. If you're storing files PAR2 can help. If you're hashing passwords, bcrypt and scrypt should be investigated.

Securing the database against bitrot, etc. would be another question entirely.
Oh, there's plenty of room for improvement on me, no doubt. But there's been more than enough money spent on teaching me critical thinking that if I'm not somewhere past the median, we're not capable of teaching it.

I'm sure I'm carrying some unjustified beliefs. I've never counted "child sex trafficking out of the basement of a building with no basement" as one of them. And I generally try, if I notice I'm gathering extraordinary claims, to bring the extraordinary evidence; I started working the polls when I had questions about how elections are done (turns out it's not hard to do; most municipalities are desperate for volunteers) and learned quite a bit about potential failure modes and the mechanisms employed to mitigate them.

I agreed with your original comment but this insistence on "functions never capture environments" is not useful when a really large portion of programmers come from those kinids of languages and are trying to learn Rust.

You can insist on correct terminology or adapt to your surroundings and try to speak the language of your target audience. I assume somebody who calls closures "anonymous functions" is speaking as a JavaScript developer to JavaScript developers. Even if not, it's not unreasonable to adopt the terminology of such a popular language.

Mine is working fine. Probably because I’m running Linux on it.
You are confusing archive.is with archive.org. Although archive.is does have an extension[1] it doesn't appear to capture any of the page contents, it just simply sends the url for archive.is to crawl.

That's beside the point: The German government did not act against those responsible for climate change, they acted against those protesting for laws that are slightly stricter than those we have right now.

Whether the ends justify the means is a different question and maybe one reserved for more severe crimes? In another century, the relation whether blocking traffic for a protest is acceptable vs. 4 K increase in temperature will look quite differently than it does today. However, history will remember what we do now, not in ten years, as we have done far too little for decades and are now quickly approaching the tipping points our grandchildren will learn about in school.
Probably, but a problem here is that a bathroom fitter might not have the time or energy to do that. Especially if they’re still trying to live a life outside of work with family and friends and hobbies. And getting injured at the gym doesn’t help you get to work the next day.

I worked in kitchens for years and as much as I also wanted to hit the gym I didn’t have it in me after 12+ hour shifts. I had several family members in older generations who did various types of manual labor and saw what it did to their bodies.

As much as I bitch about the state of the software industry and some of my coworkers, I know better than to throw that baby out with the bathwater. We have it really good.

Then again, if someone doesn’t have any first hand experience with any of this, maybe it would be good to go get some perspective.
S4/hibernate - shutdown /h - should still work on machines with S0ix, right?
What proof do you have that this is true?

What persistent global shortages currently exist strictly because of climate change and are not related to the Ukraine war or COVID?
I’d recommend reading Skunk Works by Ben R. Rich for more on the engineering of the Blackbird and other special aviation projects.

I knew the Blackbird was fast, but didn’t quite realize how fast until reading this book. The SR-72 would cruise at Mach 3, or three times the speed of sound. It would do this at 80,000 feet, over twice the traditional cruising altitude of a 747. Even at this height, where the temperature is -60°F, friction would cause the fuselage to heat to 600°F. This would melt traditional aircraft, so the plane was built with titanium (ironically supplied by the Soviet Union). The Blackbird used to overfly North Korea five days a week in just ten minutes.

Regarding title: FTFY

The US government is probably the most successful venture capitalist in history.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the semiconductor industry as we know it would not exist without copious and frequent government funding.
And what sort of network do you think the IOT devices from the article were designed to be used on? This kind of thought process (well security isn't important if you use it internally) is exactly the sort of attitude that led to the botnets in the article becoming as large and as devastating as they ended up being
I'm also a WezTerm user for awhile now, Lua based config is definitely rad.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was more of AI based impersonation stuff. AI in the government is big because people can use it impersonate people as a form of identity fraud.
Way too much unnecessary data collected and stored as usual. But one of the best transparency reports ever. Thanks PyPI!
Hey, it's the cloud. Backups are "someone else's problem". That is until they are your problem, then you're up a creek.
The distribution in manual labor includes major catastrophic injury. I'm 28, work in landscaping: the second day of this season I fell through a metal grate and was lucky to not snap my leg. I passed out at work last year due to dehydration/exhaustion after nicking my leg with a pair of electric hedge trimmers; it could have been much worse.

There's quite a few engineers I know that are fat and unshapely, and that likely takes a toll on their health, but I doubt any of them encounter daily situations where they're at decent chance of being maimed.
Distance? I only have young, pre-teen kids, but based on my own relationships with my parents, the closeness we once had has shifted to my "new" immediate family. I expect there will come a time with my own kids where we're just not as "close" as we once were. I wonder if that has any impact on how some people process grief (it seemed to, from witnessing aunts/uncles who died before my grandparents, and how they processed it).

I can also add that a lot of my anxiety around the sudden loss of the child is the thought of their life being cut short. Everything that they could have experienced, all the potential -- gone. Sure, when you're in your 60's you still have lots of life left to live, but the weight of life being "cut too short" just doesn't seem like it'd feel as heavy as say, the death of a child, teen, or a young adult in their early 20's.
To get a turborocket to work in an atmosphere without oxygen you just have a classic rocket engine, with its own fuel and oxidizer, use its exhaust to drive a turbine the same way a jet is used to drive a turbojet. You have to leave off the afterburner stage that many existing turborockets have where you inject more fuel to burn after the final turbine.
Ah yes, definitely one of the original releases.
Yes, but I shouldn't have to do that, particularly when it works correctly in most other terminals.

I don't agree with that. If your DDoS prevents me from using services I paid for, I could rightfully sue you in small claims for the damages. They'd be small- a percentage of a monthly Internet bill. It's still damages.
Did you know "needles eye" does not refer to sewing needle? I'm told it actually referred to something like a cattle gate. So the message is actually "hard but not impossible..."

A couple within my extended family had to bury their daughter who contracted breast cancer in her mid-30s.

The daughter died around 15 years ago and any mention of her makes her father well up in tears. The father occasionally says he's ready to die and be with his daughter in the afterlife.

His wife isn't too happy about him saying such things. I just mention it to show just how much it has hurt him, and he wishes to be with his daughter .

As a father of young children I occasionally think about how I would feel if I lost one of my children. I usually don't go too far down that line of thinking before I stop. Even the thought of it all is too much for me.

Describing the US as a country of laws is a little funny. The mere existence of laws does not imply much.

Your examples are even weirder. How would such malfeasance justify clandestine observations? That is clearly disproportional, thus unethical.

Claiming governance structures were "baked into" institutions is pure hopium. Democratic oversight means, there must be transparency enabling you as a citizen to detect and react to misconduct, at least by proxy.

The "free press" isn't free to report and investigate such subpoenas, obviously.
Does not need to be an NSL to have a non-disclosure attached. Could be a relatively minor (not very spooky) federal investigation.
If there are no breaking changes, is it really a disadvantage for a language to add new capabilities frequently?
Venture capital was risk capital designed to invest in outliers—-has graduated to a homogenous selection based on college, past-company, access to network.
This is a double edge sword because this perspective makes me not try hard at my job or take it less seriously. Especially when my boss is griping at me about some mundane task or detail.
Two things:

1. The HN link should be to the actual video of the retired pilot telling the story firsthand. That's below

2. Most former SR-71 pilots consider the story not true, but it's a fun story to hear nonetheless.

It’s fascinating to see on hacker news of all places, the negativity towards a founder with a very successful exit.
AI doesn't have much to do with it. It was Covid, and work from home, and video games, and even TV. Everything electronic let us disconnect more from the physical world.

So, craving? Yes. But actually doing? Not yet.

Beautifully put.
Everyone here is talking about creative machine naming schemes, but almost every org in the world names machines with random strings, like what Windows OOBE generates by default. Sometimes the names are pre-OOBEd with scripts that generate images for new machines, but they are still mostly random. I have never seen a creative machine name in an academic or business setting. It's interesting how different HN is from most orgs.

Honestly, even most home machines are randomly named, I think.
I tried all the other 3-letter words, SEX is the only one that's not allowed.
Well now I can't wait to read the book this was drawn from.
You could also relegate this task to ZFS.

ZFS is a file system that is available on FreeBSD, and Linux, and more!
According to this [0] article it leaks fuel sitting on the runway because:

"The fuel system of the SR-71 could not be sealed permanently because there simply were no sealants that were flexible and durable enough to deal with those kind of temperatures and shrinking-expansion cycles."

I think that says enough about how bonkers fast that thing is.

You still haven't fleshed out a decent conspiracy theory. WHICH bureaucrats are intent on preventing people from flying? WHAT do they gain by achieving this end?
This is a really random set of evidence for a relatively strong claim. For example, “the DA and police should be able to work together” is not radical pro-cop propaganda. It’s a fact of how the criminal justice system works. Similarly, dropping charges against a police officer for shooting a suspect who was actively attacking him is not radical; no mainstream advocacy org opposed the charging decision. The press conference claim is almost bizarre: I was at a walkthrough Jenkins did in the Castro with the district supervisor and merchant association where there was little if no police presence. In any case, what does that have to do with policy?

I didn’t say it was “bad faith” to say Jenkins is pro-police, I asked for a definition. As your response suggests, there isn’t much evidence to suggest Jenkins is particularly pro-police. She’s about as pro-police as every other DA besides Boudin who’s held office in San Francisco, a city which is historically the least pro-police in the entire country.
Yeah, it's had remarkable staying power. I think it says a lot that I can see "Vaswani, et al." cited in a paper and know exactly what the author is referring to lol. I don't usually memorize researcher names but the original Attention Is All You Need paper is just freaking ubiquitous.
Venture capital is one of the foremost in meritorious selection of ideas—but the author is complaining about how recent shenanigans is inflecting a decline in this wonderful asset allocation.

I'll save the sarcasm, but these advances in AI are arguably among the most astounding advances we've ever made as a species. I don't sympathize at all with the perspective that these topics are tiresome. To me, it comes off as jaded and obstinate. So much get-off-my-lawn around these subjects...
No. A loss of a child is a loss of a child. I have heard people say that parents of 4 or 5 children should feel less of a loss if one of their children dies, than a parent who only has one or two children. It just doesn't work that way.
I don't know enough about serious psychiatric disorders to comment on if the author is right or wrong, except that I think our society treats complex issues as if they can be solved with simple answers and I suspect that it is the same here. Involuntary treatment of any sort is problematic and ripe for abuse so it very much should be regarded with suspicion. On the other hand, there are many disorders that make someone a danger to themselves or others, or just unable to live unassisted. The problem is where to draw the line.

If someone has repeatedly shown violent tendencies, then I think some level of forced care is generally agreed on. But what if they have only muttered threats? And what distinguishes their threats from the kind of vague "I'm going to get you" that gets muttered often enough? What about things like hoarding disorder? Should they be forced into treatment? Although they might be endangering their own health, people make choices that are bad for their health all the time. Beyond that, they aren't necessarily posing a danger to anyone. Yet their condition causes, at a minimum, unsafe living conditions and destruction of property. The author mentions bipolar, but I think this is even difficult. Even in a state of mania, I think most bipolar people are still capable of making rational decisions. Do we remove their autonomy simply because we might disagree with their decisions and they have a diagnosis? But if their disease is causing problems making rational decisions, maybe someone stepping in would be appropriate? It is definitely a very tricky issue.
You've never seen an application with an SSRF vulnerability? I've encountered multiple working as a penetration tester.
Fair enough, it's a hard problem to work on indeed. But I would ask, why not raise investment then? Why is the solution a ban, when we have working prototypes that get better every month and that have done maiden voyages? The solution is larger investments and partnerships into more R&D on these crafts, not to shutter the prospect entirely...

Lament for the self taught developer.

I get that anyone with the skills can still make it in this industry, but getting your foot in the door without a degree at this point seems nigh impossible. I highly doubt I would ever get a shot today at the junior roles that I did 10 years ago, as a dropout with no experience. Competing with the hordes of CS grads getting churned out now would be futile.
