I would throw hardware security keys in there. I use for two things (in the context of UNIX security): local PAM authentication through pam-u2f, and the SSH *-sk key types.

The first one allows me to almost never type in my local password (and use a 7-word diceware that is impractical to bruteforce). This should prevent many local privilege escalation scenarios by things like shitty npm packages. I used a trivial password for years because it was tiresome to type in dozens of times a day. Now I just type `sudo -i` and tap the hardware key. (I already use containers and firejail to prevent them from accessing my personal files, so this only leaves zero days).

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Universal_2nd_Factor

The second one provides a second factor for my SSH keys that makes them completely useless without a corresponding hardware key. You need OpenSSH 8.2 or later on both sides. `ssh 1.2.3.4` and tap the key (or `ssh-add` it to the key agent — but it's less secure).

having all these subs go private is probably slowing down the business logic for generating everyone's front page.
What I see is interesting behavior, though:

1. The page loads but no content is shown on either the home page or my profile page.

2. It says I'm not logged in.

3. It has a list of recent subs I've looked at.

I have no idea what their architecture looks like, but I would guess it's statically served javascript that gets all of its data from some web API, and that API is down.
Your example is so absurd I feel it hardly warrants comment. If a window manufacturer puts out windows with the MS windows logo, and when you open it it makes the XP startup sound, then yes, I think it would be infringing. But nobody thinks a plain window would be confused with MS Windows.

I don't see any problem with this ruling whatsoever. It says nothing about parody for non-commercial purposes. The dog toy owner was specifically trying to leverage JD's brand for his own economic benefit. And it's not like a patent, where patent owners try to remove the ability to make something that sometimes isn't even that novel in the public sphere.

Slippery slope arguments are incredibly weak here if you look at the actual content of the ruling.
The real reason to write good (or at least minimally viable) documentation? The person who's going to need it most is Future You. When Future You has to return to a project a year after you last looked at things, you will than Past You for writing things down.

HN is feeling janky too, not sure if it's related to this.
> Essentially all organizations do that, don't they?

Hebrews don't. Plenty of groups don't plan to expand at all actually.

Groups explicitly trying to spread hate and grow is key IMO. It separates you out from many other groups.

If you see a diamond moderator violating anything described in that contact Stack Overflow (the company). There are serious repercussions for a moderator violating that.

Note that this only applies to moderators - those users who have a diamond following their name. Other users are not moderators (and this is one of the sources of frequent confusion - terming anyone who can vote to close a question as a moderator).

Bicycles exist in the current game—they were brought in as part of a free update. Roads with dedicated cycle lanes were introduced with an official add-on, but by default pedestrians and bikes will share sidewalks. I imagine the new game will roll a lot of their official add-ons into the base game. I also heard that they hired some of the community mod creators which is exciting news.

> I used to think heavy criticism of Perl's use of punctuation characters were valid, until I looked at PHP, Ruby and Rust

The mandatory dollar sign in variable names looks dumb in php, I grant you that. As well as the dot for string concatenation. But perl insists on the distinction between $variable, @variable, and %variable; which is just wild. How is it that python works fine without all that noise, for chrissake? Or javascript?
This is a an unrealistic thing to expect or ask for. The new game uses a different art style, significantly alters the mechanics and uses the latest version of Unity, as opposed to Unity 5 from 2015. If they included every single DLC, they'd have to:

- Recreate or significantly update all of the assets they've created over the past 8 years. This would be a huge amount of work.

- Not alter any game mechanics, because otherwise the content from the DLC wouldn't work. OR alternatively re-design a dozen expansion packs at the same time for the new game. If they couldn't change the game in any way, why would they make a sequel?

They'll certainly include mechanics that they previously added in expansion packs and updates, but expecting them to just bundle all of the stuff from the expansions doesn't make sense from game design or business point of view.
I would be curious in research involving removal of online hate speech and how it correlates to in person violence, mental outbreaks and similar stuff.
Reddit being gone for a while actually makes me feel like the world is a better place.

Somehow knowing even for a brief moment no one is there and I’m not missing out on anything makes me feel… more alive and excited to interact with the world. sounds bizarre I know… but I wish more social media shut down now.
I think OP meant the US. Anthony Fauci was one of the main individuals in the government responsible for sponsoring gain of function research, including funding some of it at the Wuhan institute. It was incredibly odd that a virologist with no public health background (and a very questionable role in past HIV policy) effectively commandeered the CDC's job here, but it makes sense if you think about it as a " cover my ass" move from him.

Personally I disagree with the ruling but also agree with Jack Daniels parent corp for trying to protect their image. If someone in my social group decided it would be funny to sell t-shirts with my face on it, with the phrase "shithead steve" or something on it, then I too would want to "control" the way people think of me by taking legal avenues to prevent the person from selling those t-shirts. After all, is it really pro-social to make profit at the expense of my reputation? Seems like a behavior society would be better off without.
So, organizations that violate Facebook policies?

The question arose from the fact that hate organization was mentioned along with terrorist and criminal organizations, which implies that these are somewhat equal terms. To me, these are widely different things.

They have for many decades been working toward reducing the world population. Many policies are intentionally designed around reducing world population. This has been working effectively on the former 1st world countries.

What was discovered was the conservatives/republicans/whatever realized what was happening and decided on a unique strategy never normally used in politics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Give_'em_enough_rope

Left wing politicians feel unopposed, and without opposition they roll ahead with terrible decisions. Often feeling enabled to implement policies which are going to hang themselves. Absolutely what's happening and they don't realize it.
This is a cool laptop but after looking it over I hope ThinkPenguin decides to sell replacement batteries (since they are removable) and perhaps even a higher capacity one that sticks out the back a bit. Also the inclusion of a B key M.2 is great for say, an LTE modem, but the page makes no mention if they wired a SIM card slot up to it. Another thing I wish was an option would be to configure without a wifi module, since not everyone is focused on libre firmware, it'd be nice to throw a generic wifi+bt module in there, rather than have to rely on an external bluetooth dongle. I know I can just swap it out later, but that's sunken cost and e-waste for the built in unit which kind of stinks.

EDIT: I checked around their shop, they do sell replacement batteries for $109, but I still wish they sold an extended cell variant like laptops did 10 years ago.
Thank you. This is handy for requesting with options besides the image format.
> A problem is that the 3 problems that the articles highlights have been fixed with incremental fixes.

(author here) - I disagree. If V8 solved performance, we wouldn't see so much of the JS tooling stack being rewritten in Rust. Modern JS runtimes are fast because they are tuned for the types of workloads that are common on the web. This is great for the performance of a virtual DOM, but if you go off the beaten path of workloads that the browser is used to, you're still limited by the performance of the runtime.

JS has improved for sure but it’s always going to be slower than a language with a BDFL because it has so much legacy baggage and political consensus-building required. IMHO WebAssembly is the right approach: standardize a minimal bytecode and let languages compete on innovation.
Wow, haven't heard the "fark" name in a long time.

I understand why this has been posted, but much like ill-informed comparisons to Digg, Reddit will be fine. Reddit has a much larger and more diverse audience now, and likely a majority are exclusively using the iOS/Android apps.

These distinct groups are united in advancing hatred, so in this context it seemed to make sense to lump them together, no?
This is generally true, but one always has the opportunity to waste a good hand they have been dealt.

Similarly it's not quite fair to put it all down the luck. Unfortunately many traits are hereditary again here it's easier to ruin a hand than make a worse one work.
There are no two standards on compiler stability - there is one and it is called ABI. What Apple chose is rather an outstanding case and not really common when you consider all the operating systems and their flavors.

I'm struggling to find specifics in the paper and its appendices about which hate organizations and individuals were deplatformed. I understand that there are privacy concerns, but it's hard to take this entirely seriously without knowing the underlying incidents. I'm sure the researchers are sincere, but, given the recent history of the social sciences, I find myself skeptical.
It's likely true that most people just browse, don't login, and don't subscribe to subreddits they enjoy. Of course those people don't contribute to their site either, although they do see the advertisements.

Anyway for those of us that do login and follow specific topics, I can speak for my own experience, which is that every single subreddit I read was shutdown this morning other than r/worldnews and r/diablo4.

Forecasting works, to a certain degree, quite well when there is actually something to forecast. The fact that it often doesn't work (e.g. there really is no effective predictor of where the S&P 500 will be 3 months from now) might just be because the series really is effectively unpredictable (combinatorial explosion, chaotic complex systems, and all that).
Yea sorry, there's some very random breakages happening right now. Working on it. Thanks for the feedback.
Would you accept a definition that includes the KKK and ISIS? If the majority of an organizations public rhetoric is hate for other groups would you agree that makes them a hate organization?

What is the purpose of this line of argumentation? Would you take the position that there are no such things as hate-organizations or hate-speech?

The world is plainly better off with fewer organizations like the KKK and ISIS. Do you agree? That seems like as milquetoast as one can get.

Are there organizations that you feel are labeled as hate-groups but are not? What hairs are we trying to split?

Not at all. The "modern" approach you are describing is many decades old and single systems are still extremely common.
What I am presenting below is a joke. Their counts went way low so the monitoring said something is odd a drop of 50% is quite abnormal and failed them over. Same story on the other side. Now they are trying to change the thresholds to say that do not alert or fail over on these thresholds. But while they were doing that they got their EKS bill and they realized they can make / save more money just by being down.

You must not have been part of the Digg exodus then. Because those of us on Digg that left, we knew the change was coming. Kevin Rose had talked about it. He gave some inklings of what was coming. The user base did protest. We did threaten. When they went ahead and went through with it, we left en masse for Reddit. Kevin sold the company, and gave information about what changes were coming. The community knew, and it was pissed. The only thing holding Reddit up right now, is lack of competition. If there was another site similar out there right now, a mass exodus would be underway right now. Mastodon, lemmy, all that stuff, doesn't count. It's not a real competitor, and neither is discord.
What's up guys!? That's me. Really enjoying my time on HN so far. It reminds of what Reddit used to be like.
Being unprofitable and seeking profit does not entitle someone to bait and switch tactics. And that's simply what this is, just over a longer time-scale.

Bait and switch tactics are immoral and in some cases illegal.

Yes, companies should seek profitability, yes it's good for the infinite VC money to stop propping up unhealthy companies. No, unhealthy companies shouldn't seek to get to profitability by abusing their users.

> All of this has made the language worse. Just accreting features doesn't make the foundation less broken.

I see this view a lot - what I rarely ever see is a concrete discussion about what exactly is wrong with the "foundation" of javascript.

Because to me... Javascript is actually a decent-ish solution to the UI space (it nicely balances reactivity and code complexity by presenting an event driven, single threaded context)

It has the same warts that literally every production language accumulates: some operators are overloaded in ways that make for wacky edge-cases, some features were introduced by not great, and so they still exist but mostly gather dust.

JS also has some really incredible work put into it -

---

> ES6+ introduced a slew of features like arrow functions, template literals, async/await, destructuring, classes, enhanced object literals and native modules.

This is the problem.

---

Frankly - I understand that increasing language complexity is sometimes not the right call - but I think the vast majority of the features you just poo-pooed are pretty damn nice. I don't even mind the classes - just because it makes Crockford and the other enterprise java folks shut up (otherwise - I sort of mind the classes, at least when not using TS).

What I do find particularly impressive is how flexible JS is, and how much support can be added without actually changing the runtime - that's not something all that many enterprise languages can attest to, and it's that same flexibility and simple extensivity that has allowed JS to continue to grow.

Following on: JS (and browsers in general) are actually one of the absolute wins for software freedom (free as in freedom, not as in beer) because absolutely everything is shipped to you in inspectable and modifiable payloads. I can and have edited JS/html/css to make broken sites work.

My single biggest complaint about WASM is that we lose this property for websites, and I think that's a pretty huge fucking loss.
> Multi monitor setups are overrated anyway. I work entirely off a laptop screen and only a portion of that screen is where my focus is most of the time. Having multiple monitors at my desk is mostly for decoration and looking like you’re a big deal.

I staunchly disagree with this. I work from home and as such have no reason to optimize my desk for showing off or acting like a big shot, and find that having at least one extra monitor is a huge productivity boost because for most tasks, it practically eliminates the need to juggle applications or windows — everything that's relevant for the task at hand can remain visible the whole time without a cramped tiled windows setup. Virtual desktops are great but to me, work best in concert for switching tasks rather than being used as a tool to corral windows on a single screen.

When I need to work away from my desk, it's somewhat frustrating even with a 16" laptop.
Reddit is trash. Nearly every community is designed to build resonance chambers for self-serving 20-something idiots. It is rare you find a sub that isn't helmed by some immature activist type with an inferiority complex, drug or mental problem, and no real-world prospects for dating or gainful employment.
so a "hate organization" is a "Hate-based ... organizations"?

That clears everything up.
Truly unfortunate, perhaps there's value to be had with Reddit after all
Convex optimization can be a really amazing tool. We use optimization extensively, both on actually convex problems, and on non-convex-but-practically-solvable problems in robotics.

The math surrounding optimization is great; however, the reality of optimization tools is still very poor. A competitive optimizer is a massive project, and outside of a number of mostly limited/specialized solvers, the effective tools are all proprietary and very expensive (e.g. SNOPT, Gurobi, Mosek, CPLEX, etc). How solveable and stable your problems can be depends on these tools, and effective problem formulation (e.g. what and how many constraints you use, how you compute gradients) is essentially a black art learned through hard experience.

There's a great example of the complexity difference between optimization and other tools in the world of motion planning for robots: we expect that any semi-competent undergrad can implement search- and sampling-based planners (e.g. A* or RRT), implementing a good optimizer for trajectory optimization is a multi-million dollar project.

The world of optimization desperately needs a MuJoCo-DeepMind moment, where a large interested company buys one of the major commercial optimization providers and makes their tools free and open source. This would really be transformative to the field.
You can still use old.reddit.com, which is vastly superior and faster than the modern reddit. It also loads videos and images inline (when you click for them to load) and it de-emphasizes comments. This allows you to work like the compact feed where you scroll through posts and only go into comments sections if you _really_ want to. It is a good alternative.

That's likely to be a routing problem, related to your ISP or something in between. Reddit really is not down that much.
This article mentions disposing of hard drives that have reached their five-year mark and are no longer under warranty.

Does anybody actually want hard drives this old? Isn't the whole point that the risk of failure and therefore data loss is too high by this point? Even if you're using them to store data redundantly, you're running the risk that when one drive fails, the backup will also encounter failure due to the stress of reading its entire contents at once in the attempt to create a new backup.
