Legacy media not handling this development well.
I don't like these gag orders but I can see times when they are needed. Each person has a right to a fair trial. So the courts sometimes have to suppress information from the public to avoid potential jurors seeing information about the case. They must only judge guilt based on what they hear in court not in the media.
NetBSD doesn't look all that more helpful, you just get to examples sooner because it has far less options

The NetBSD examples also only document what command do, while the util-linux sometimes go into details of why, like when describing how exactly the time directive works and why `-mtime 0` shows files from last 24 hours.

This is interesting. As a father in a house with only one PS5, I hope it allows concurrent play. It would suck to be on a trip, and not able to play cause my dudes are watching Youtube at the house.
There are plenty of laws that aren't compatible with our constitution. Judges will laugh a lawyer out of the courtroom who uses constitutional arguments, and your case will go nowhere.
It's obviously exaggerated and reductive, but you have to admit that not knowing how to use React properly is massively prevalent in frontend, let alone being able to recognize _when_ to use React.
Very much unworkable. I got a chunk of titanium tubing at some point of my more metal oriented years and tried to do something useful with it, it ate up my tools pretty quickly. Typical standing time for a regular HSS bit was < 1 hole. Carbide did a bit better, but still that too went much faster than usual.
Do you have any idea what your talking about?

The launching missile can carry dozens of penetration aids, each one needing an interceptor warhead.

Plus, the physical structure and fuel are by far the cheapest parts, it's everything else, guidance systems, maneuvering systems, etc., that make up the majority of the cost. Which each interceptor warhead needs but which dumb penetration aids don't.

One of the claimed benefits of the JVM (and obviously later VMs) was that it would solve this issue: Java programs written in 2000 should still be able to run in 2100. And as far as I know the JVM has continued to fulfill this promise.

An honest question: If you are writing a program that you want to survive for 100+ years, shouldn't you specifically target a well-maintained and well-documented VM that has backward compatibility as a top priority? What other options are there?

Predicaments of Abundance: the manifest injustice of make-work criminal justice
On December 31 2022 Congressman Thomas Massie (MIT alum) tweeted, "If you were in Congress, what would your priorities be for 2023?"

I submitted this response thread about one of the Predicaments of Abundance: I propose the United States' relative prosperity has enabled it to be the most effective crime-solving and crime-punishing country on Earth, but that we're not any better off for our tremendous expenditures on "Criminal Justice". I don't have any meaningful engagement on the Twitter, so it only got a few views.

One of the people mentioned in this thread is my passenger who can't keep himself from screwing up his own life. This one could have be any of you. I think DevOps was his specialty, before he fell into the black hole of Criminal Justice. I drafted an Ask HN submission, then I saw that I recently mentioned him in a comment that got a few upvotes: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34237125 67
I'm not so sure that Putin is able to have Prigozhin eliminated any more. The man has thousands of troops that are clearly loyal to him rather than Russia, and the regular Russian army does not seem to be able to perform at the same level as Wagner (even if you subtract all of Prigozhin's puffery, it still looks like regular Russian MoD underperforms compared to Wagner).

Supposedly Wagner troops are showing up in Sudan the last few weeks. I think Prigozhin is not intending to go back to Russia, until he can go with a few thousand troops (like Julius Caesar crossing the Rubicon). He probably expects to leave Ukraine before Russia loses, then come back to Russia (with thousands of battle-tested troops) in the ensuing chaos.

Putin may or may not see what he's up to. He might have been hoping to exhaust Wagner's troops in Bakhmut precisely to prevent this from happening. Regardless, I don't think Putin wants to reprimand if he can't enforce it, and right now with Prigozhin surrounded by his own troops, I don't think Putin can enforce it. Even less so once Prigozhin is in Sudan.

Plus, a lot of the regular army (e.g. Surovikin) are rumored to like Prigozhin better than Putin. If forced to choose between them, I don't think at this point that Putin can count on them choosing him.

What democratic oversight? This is the United States we're talking about lol.
Fully agreed.

I anxiously clicked, expecting to see an overly simple, flat, gradient filled shape with no character.

But this is perhaps one of the few I’ve seen in a long time that manages to maintain a sense of character while also taking just enough from modern trends to feel fresh and like it belongs next to other current day apps.
ReFS doesn't have compression at all and didn't have boot though it looks like win11 is getting it now.
I didn’t say that USA didn’t take action. Arguably Biden’s 2022 Climate and Spending bill is the most ambitious climate bill by any country (if so, then god help us, we need 100x that and 100x more). What I did say was that USA was very hostile to any international pact which would have enabled collective action. It is USAs fault that “8bn people [haven’t] agree[d] to painful, expensive changes simultaneously over a long term”, despite the fact that USA did agree to it before it changed its mind.

I’m not listening to the China argument, I’ve heard it many times before, it is always the same, and it is always done in bad faith. It was even the reason claimed by the USA senate to stall the Kyoto protocol over 20 years ago. We now know it had nothing to do with the supposed unfairness and everything to do with the fossil fuel lobby muddying the water,

I remember in 2000 when journalists asked George W Bush and Al Gore what their favorite books were. Bush said his was The Bible. Al Gore said his was The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas Kuhn. Probably could have called the election right then.

> Why hasn't Putin Reprimanded him yet or had him eliminated?

Prigozhin may be an important tool in the common authoritarian tactic of avoiding any single subordinate from having a dominant powerbase, which would explain tolerating (or even encouraging, subtly) the apparent factional divide between Prigozhin and Shoigu.
Honestly manpages with and without an `EXAMPLES` section are completely different types of documents.

I've recently built something similar [0], but the complete opposite. I wanted to forward traffic onto my homeserver without a public IPv4. I've tried Tailscale Funnel, but the inability to use custom domains made me look for other solutions. I ended up with a fly.io app acting as a TCP proxy over Tailscale. Considering how crappy the setup is, it's surprisingly reliable. Great job fly.io and Tailscale teams! I haven't had any issues in the month or so I've been using it.

How is it worse than having to use up all my RAM in a few browser tabs with unresponsive PWAs such as Outlook for work? I much rather have Thunderbird or Evolution silently in the background popping up notifications when I get emails - not to mention it’s much easier to compartmentalise within a DE, i.e I know my email is workspace #4 instead of having to flash scroll through all my open tabs

Why would you want a streaming handheld?

The places you would want to use a handheld (trains, planes, &c) all tend to have unreliable or no wifi.
One thing weighing against this, is that most software does not last nearly as long as a van Gogh painting. Imagine what gems might have been in SourceForge, for example, lost when that went down the drain if there was no one who knew about them to rescue them. Not much for later generations to look through.
In this case, the new Thunderbird logo is in a similar style to the Firefox logo, which makes it clearer that the two apps are from the same developer. This can help with user acquisition since Firefox has better brand recognition and a larger user base than Thunderbird.

As an aside, when Thunderbird first launched, Firefox was called Firebird, so their names were similar as well. The browser was renamed to Firefox in 2004 to avoid confusion with the Firebird database.

he's clearly in a feud with the Russian DoD, but he's way off thinking that failing to commit the children of the elites' to combat will result in a "revolution"

in fact its the opposite...look closer to home

no one on the Harvard or Yale rowing teams died in the Civil War...they didn't even put on uniforms (and if anyone asked them to, they could pay someone else to go in their place)

fast forward to Vietnam when we decided the elite should fight too...the nation ripped itself apart

fast forward again to the pointless quagmire of Afghanistan...all volunteers, mostly from poor backgrounds...no meaningful public dissent for twenty years

back to Russia, they already have 500k fresh recruits who will soon be ready to deploy...no riots so far
So they changed the envelope into a chat bubble... because envelopes are obsolete?

> you think that I can't have an opinion about things without having zero emissions

I neither said nor implied that, and in fact I'm saying the opposite. You absolutely have a right to your moralizing regardless of your GHG emissions.

> I do think GHG heavy meat-consumption that is associated with climate change should be disincentivized just as much as I think GHG heavy fuel-consumption should be.

Well thank God, I thought it was just me. FWIW I also have family members who are dogs, and I spent countless hours developing a vegetarian dog food recipe, and I spend countless more making the shit. I learned the AAFCO guidelines (which are woefully inadequate IMO), and made a spreadsheet to make sure my dogs get what they need from calcium to taurine. I, my wife, and my kids are all vegetarians, and my kids were horrifed to learn how many animals have to die to feed our pets.

> Whataboutism is only an effective rhetorical device if your intentions are in bad-faith.

If I were pointing out hypocrisy only to justify my own life choices, then that would qualify as whataboutism. But I assure you that's not the case. I personally find factory animal farming to be the nearly the most repugnant, immoral thing that humans do. But I also understand that not everyone wants to spend a chunk of their life making vegetarian dog food, so I'm not about to accuse you and your girlfriend of immorality if you make different choices.
Is there a name for this missing of the forest for the trees?
Git is seriously weird in that regard. It reads like someone just really wanted to build a content-addressable file system and a generic append-only graph data structure on top, and then, to their mild annoyance, people were starting to use it as a version control system...

Question: How many people actually refer to their past Evernote notes?

I ask because I hardly ever do, even though I've been an Evernote paid subscriber for many years.

I've used the Evernote Web clipper but then essentially never refer back to any of the clipped pages.

Ditto with scans-to-PDF for things such as receipts — for which the Apple Notes scan feature seems to do an adequate job. (We're an Apple household.)

I'm half tempted to just declare "scans- and Web-clipper bankruptcy" and abandon my Evernote subscription.

Google says that about 25% of global CO2 emissions are captured by plants. That's not trivial.
Concorde was profitable. Accidents + 9/11 pullback killed it. The major factor against supersonic is actually the fact that sonic booms are not allowed over the continental United states. Companies like Boom Supersonic are focussed on eliminating those.

> If British Airways and Air France were looking for more profit, these issues would have to be addressed. And that was the plan. British and French aerospace divisions were looking to create a brand new supersonic aircraft before plans to take the Concorde out of service in 2000 were realized.

> Of course, that never happened. With a plethora of odds stacked against it, the 2000 crash in France, 9/11 affecting interest, and Airbus scrapping Concorde part replacements, the Concorde was shelved before its time.

Sounds like writing code in notepad.
That did not make it any less of a tragedy.
Some of it was. For example, the sprinkler system that came with the house was blasting my house and fence with water.

Doing so causes fences to decay more quickly and can damage the foundation of the house.

By digging up and moving the sprinklers, I prevented that from happening.

I also swapped a bunch of it for subsurface drip irrigation, which conserves significant amounts of water. That not only saves me money, but is better for the environment.
I enjoyed this game a ton. The ambience is great. But when I went to play it again I found that my fingers obfuscating the play area was far more annoying than I remembered. Dragging things around the edge also sucked. I’d “let go” of goo balls all the time when I didn’t mean to.

> Such subpoenas are clandestine surveillance of citizens by their state. The problem with such types of surveillance in particular is the lack of accountability.

I never know how to interpret statements like this. The fourth amendment guarantees court oversight over search and seizures. A court signs off on every subpoena issued anywhere in the USA. Are you making this argument from the perspective of "I didn't know courts were involved" or "I don't view courts as sufficient oversight".

If it's the latter... what's your alternative? Eliminate gag orders (which is all this is) entirely? You realize that there's a lot of stuff that happens in courts that we all agree should not be public, both for privacy and law enforcement reasons. Why get upset over this one particular thing?
This might be a dumb question, but isn’t that the maximum sustained speed for the plane, and higher speeds would be possible for short bursts? (as in, before the wing tips get hot enough to melt off)

Alas it doesn't allow access to the comment section of the WSJ which is the only reason I would visit the site. WSJ comments re-enforce my opinion of the majority of humanity. My father allowed his subscription to lapse and I won't send them my money so I will just have to imagine it.

I've also got their titanium flask. I had it engraved from a random guy on youtube who had experience engraving on Ti, because everyone else I contacted (mostly jewelry shops) could only anodize it.

I was self-taught, then went to Yale where I (almost begrudgingly) chose to major in CS. The Yale curriculum is more oriented toward "fundamentals" than at most schools, with introductory courses taught in C and a heavy emphasis on the more static aspects of CS that haven't changed since 1970. The professors insisted that you'd learn the practical skills like languages and tooling du juor at your internships, so not to worry about the heavy emphasis on theory during class. It actually became a big point of contention while I was there, and some students in the year ahead of me started HackYale as a sort of practical-skills bootcamp. After I left (2014), and the CS major exploded in popularity, they partnered with Harvard on that CS50 thing, which AFAIU is a more real-world oriented introduction to programming.

In retrospect, the professors were right. I've rarely used C in my work, but the theoretical underpinnings that I learned have been an invaluable foundation. But I could have also spent those four years learning "more practical" skills and I doubt it would have changed much. Like many students at the time, I already knew scripting languages when I started the CS major, anyway. And I expect that's much more common these days.

So, all that's to say - while I appreciate the theoretical foundation I got from CS, I don't think it was strictly a pre-requisite to becoming a software engineer. Besides, I still consider myself self-taught anyway, since I learned to "program" before I went to school for computer science, which - as my advisor was quick to point out - was a wholly separate different endeavor. And I have an easier time connecting and empathisizing with fellow self-taught engineers than I do with fellow alumni. Or at least, it's a different kind of connection - in a self-taught engineer I see a kindred intellectual spirit, whereas in a fellow alumnus I see inside jokes and a shared experience of college debauchery.

Now I'm a co-founder of a startup, and we've hired five other engineers, including one former aerospace engineer who graduated from bootcamp and whom we've molded into a junior engineer with an initial skillset perfectly tailored to our stack. We've built a really strong remote team. We actually avoided hiring people with brand name degrees, and looked instead for demonstrably practical skills and the ability to work independently. Based on those evaluation metrics, someone who is a self-taught programmer is actually our ideal candidate. So I wouldn't feel bad for them - on the contrary, I'd feel bad for the prestige chasers who need to compete with every intellectually curious hustler with a computer.
I don't remember the last time a logo redesign actually came out beautiful and sensible. Well done!
What’s going on with startup funding in Seattle?
It is unfortunate that many GeoIP providers will just use Fly.io's Chicago address even when the nodes are somewhere entirely different in the world.

You sometimes get lucky and get something that doesn't resolve to United States, and sometimes the IPv4 is US, while IPv6 is correctly the location, or vice versa.
Hence why countries carefully monitor breakout capabilities, including interceptors.
Nice logo. How much did it cost?
That's literally the point, though.
How do you even see a chat bubble in that? It's clearly a mail icon, the new Thunderbird icon is just taking a design cue from the modern Firefox logo.
Joplin is quite good as well
Yeah I used to work in aerospace (defense) and was shown a large part, about 3 feet wide, with very complex geometry that was machined from a huge solid chunk of titanium. They said that one part was worth $1 million, on a vehicle that cost total $80m or so. I'm guessing a lot of it was due to difficulty in fabrication.
