Yes, that's what it was. And i just remember the arch wiki had something about it back when i set it up, but it was[0] incomplete - it fixed most of the issues i had with my setup, but not the MSI (i think) stuff. The site that did have the correct information and possibly even a windows download link was light grey text on a black background, and otherwise a very minimal site. I had it bookmarked on firefox on an old PC, and for some reason firefox loves deleting history/bookmarks that are older than some age. I've never bothered to track it down and it bites me every couple of years when i try to find/remember information just like this.

Technology, it's so advanced.

[0] it may be more complete now. I probably wouldn't do this again myself; but at the time i had been "selling" this service (qemu/xen virtualization of PCI cards) for linux on linux for over a decade, so it was something i already knew enough about to stumble through - windows on linux.

> Can you imagine if, back when the SEC first formed in 1934, they put out a press release saying "the vast majority of stocks are securities and need to come register, but not The Bank Of New York, their stock is not a security".

This is basically what happened. Mortgage loans and certificates of deposit, for example, aren’t securities by judicial clarification, not definition in the law. (See: Marine Bank v. Weaver)

You haven't been working on it for 4 years, you started it 4 years ago, have made disconnected updates here and there since, and are releasing a pre-alpha to capitalize on the Reddit story.
I'm in my 30s and I don't know which boards you frequented to see so much CP because that was not my experience at all. Most of the criticism around the alleged tons of CP seemed to come from people who had an ideological ax to grind against the site in general.

The container used for OOXML documents is the Open Packaging Conventions format, which is well-specified.

It has a .NET library: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.packa...

An ECMA standard: https://www.ecma-international.org/publications-and-standard...

Etc...

This is pretty convenient for writing utilities to parse MS Office documents correctly on platforms such as Windows Server Core or Linux, where the actual Office applications are not installed.

Care must be taken because the format isn't "just" XML in a Zip container. Large documents can be fragmented and interleaved..

What's sad is that the format is 90% of the way there to a really good generic document container format. It solves many common problems, such as streaming decode and incremental saving. It also "solves" signing, but as we can all see, 90% secure is 100% insecure.

A modern version would be akin to the Docker container format: JSON metadata inside a gzip file referencing binary blobs with relative paths and SHA signatures.
I don’t want anything to do with cryptocurrency (each time I tip someone am I creating a taxable transaction?). I’m not even sure what problem it’s solving. Reddit incentivized good comments without ETH, right? I suspect that, like most crypto projects, this is about creating a way for you to get rich

And I’m very suspicious about “No censorship” stances. If you don’t aggressively filter out spam and abuse then the site will have an unusable level of spam and abuse.
The phrase, "this is a bag of good old oats," springs to mind.
For those who saw Bitcoin and Ethereum from day 1 or close to it it makes more sense.

Bitcoin started out as a toy with no value, even perhaps a proof of concept, which eventually gained value and began to be traded. Even years after its' creation people gave it away for free, there were faucets. The creator disappeared and the protocol intentionally has been designed in such a way that making changes is difficult and there's a lot of veto power by users.

Ethereum has nothing like the same origin story. There was an expectation of value from the beginning, Vitalik is still around, and there are often huge centralized changes like PoS, the DAO rollback, etc.
I enjoy old books because their "unique qualities" are likely to change my mind; to alter how I think. Even boring old books are different and add something to my consciousness which I cannot find elsewhere. Editing old books, occasionally even adding a new preface, can harm this kind of rich pleasures, turning them into monotonous blankness. And the "activism" may not even be very effective.

.deb is not executable. It’s an “ar” archive (see https://manpages.debian.org/buster/dpkg-dev/deb.5.en.html for more details) containing a few other archives - for files and metadata.

The fact that deb extension is associated with an application (I don’t know what Eddie is) does not make deb executable. It’s like Winzip opening a zip archive on double click in Windows: yes, the file is opened, but no untrusted code has been run (assuming, Winzip is installed already and is considered trusted).

Linux is more secure because it has a much smaller attach surface. Even from the kernel interaction perspective, the number of syscalls in Linux is much smaller than in Windows, they are in a way more primitive and easier to audit. But the biggest distinguisher is lack of DCE (or MS) RPC - in Windows it’s ubiquitous, available both locally and sometimes over the network with various ways to access it (named pipes over SMB, DCE over TCP/IP, even over NetBEUI, over HTTP in some cases) which makes it hard to secure (Windows firewall is very complex as a result). Finally, Windows Carrie’s enormous amount of legacy and Microsoft is not interested in fixing it (they would rather push you to “cloud”).

Combination of code complexity and large attack surface makes Windows less secure that competition (although Pottering seems to be working on fixing it).

Just for clarification, the site is a SPA. There’s no difference in the frontend package between the registration page or viewing a post.
1 - Depending on your job and habits, you really don't have to. The only time I use it anymore is for Git stuff, and even that isn't required, I just am used to it.

2 - It's very rare I compile anything, and it's never manual. I'm OK with the AUR. I use Yay so it's all seemless anyways. If I weren't and had a no compile no matter what mindsey, I'd probably just use Debian or Ubuntu or Fedora where you really never need to compile anything. Or use Flatpaks.

3 - I don't game, but from reading, that's really made a ton of strides lately.

I’ve read this entire comment almost verbatim so many times as a justification for private surveillance of society. Pervasive surveillance is a problematic issue, period.

Let me tell you what companies can do: they can make lists and pass it privately around to deny you gainful employment, loans, investment, etc. They can also sell it to the government, subverting privacy and due process rights.
That is a fine idea in the abstract. But there are a lot of high-value patents that are, for example, very badly written, or they have other attributes that make them vulnerable. This makes them vulnerable to a shakedown. Discerning if a badly written patent deserves to stand would give me a bigger headache than the already soul crushing task of reading such patents.
They won't care as long as it's consistent. The only way for it to be consistent is for people not to touch it.
That doesn't really change much. Even if you relegate it to "free discussion of ideas" someone still can bombard it with bullshit ones "backed" by some circular reasoning, with backers either unable to comprehend or wilfully ignoring any logical counter-arguments. Get enough of those people and you get toxic wasteland
Delegate to agencies is a way for government to be less slow. In the case where congress is faster, they can pass new laws with more specifics and less left to the executive branch, but that's often not very fast.

I recognize that web developers want full control over the user experience, usually to the point of reimplementing all of the native UI widgets provided by the user’s OS.

As a user, I prefer for my OS to do things my OS does, including styling my widgets. My scrollbars, my scrolling behavior, window chrome, all of it… whether it’s good or bad or right or wrong, that’s between me and my OS.

As a user, I hate when web apps mess with scrolling. It breaks affordances I use, like tapping at the top of the screen to jump to the top of the page, or home/end keys on desktop. It is inevitably a worse experience than native scrolling, no matter how hard you try. Facebook mobile web for example is basically unusable right now because it’s trying to overthink scrolling. If Facebook can’t get it right, I’m not sure what makes anyone else think they can.

And why would anyone want to? Honestly! Microsoft and Apple have already done all that work.

As for scroll bars and other widgets, again, right or wrong, that’s not for some web site to mess with. Sorry if the developer doesn’t like the way it looks… they only have to deal with it while working on it. As a user, I am stuck with the developer’s choices, even if they override my own choices, which I’ve made in my OS, which is where those choices belong.

If you’re going to clobber native experience, I would argue, don’t do it unless there is absolutely no other option. Corollary: there is always another option.
There were plenty of scams and scammers 100 years ago. Doing it with a computer doesn't change anything.
Translations are a tricky thing in general. For example this article mentions "queer" and it's very hard to translate, or "gay" to give another well-known example. I dislike changing these sort of words because they have a particular "old-fashioned feeling" to them, and if you change the word then you change that "feeling".

But I wouldn't know how to translate that to Dutch; there simple aren't archaic words that mean the same, AFAIK, so you will have to convey that feeling in another way. Or what more often happens is that it will just get lost – and that's okay as a translation will never be the same as the original in any case.

(Aside: I also think that no one is "offended" by these sort of words, as they deliberately co-opted archaic words for their movements; everyone understands that older writings will use these words in their original meaning and no one has a problem with that. If you do, then you're a rather queer person IMO.)

> Lobste.rs' moderation lets users flag violating posts and too many flags will result in some moderation--I'm sure this could also be abused, but so far it seems to be doing a good job

I believe HN moderation works similarly. Users can flag posts, which - given enough flags - (automatically?) triggers the [flagged] annotation. Moderators also see flags and can act further on them - adding/removing [flagged], warning/banning accounts, etc.

In addition, dang has said in the past that the most likely reason some stuff doesn't get moderated is because the moderators don't see it [0], rather than them letting some stuff off the hook.

I thought this was going to be about not using those horrible javascript scrollbar libraries, which make the code a lot more complex (I tried them all).
Almost all of the tech-adjacent people I follow on Twitter created Mastodon accounts, and about 2/3 of them stuck around.

About half the people I follow on Twitter are tech-adjacent. The other half mostly stayed on Twitter, albeit posting less than they used to.
Couldn't disagree more. Comments should only ever be present to explain why a choice was made. Never what code is doing. If it needs to explain what the code does, the code needs to be rewritten.

Comments don't compile, so the only documentation of what code is doing guaranteed to be correct is the code itself.

> You obviously have not been around non-profit, government run entities. The waste they create, the inefficiency inherent in such enterprises is terrifying.

I have been wondering recently about the value of a market-based approach has to exceed the waste and inefficiency of government entities, and whether it's always better to have government do things in those cases.

I don't have a lot of data on this yet other than really high level things (e.g., the cost of healthcare in the US being very high compared to other approaches), but it seems likely to me that having a single entity coordinating things is going to be more efficient under most circumstances - even accounting for the waste - once you remove the market challenges.

e.g. I think about this a lot in our local energy market while prices are sky-rocketing and I'm seeing useless ads everywhere. Simply removing the cost of advertising/marketing/CaC would drop prices significantly in many markets. It's regulated out the ass anyway so there is basically no real competition outside of pricing shenanigans and complexity to confuse consumers, so there is very little advantage to it pretending to be a 'market'.

It's just a huge play to enrich shareholders at the expense of citizens and offers very little benefit. A single entity, even if it was very (almost spectacularly) wasteful seems like it would probably be less expensive.
Somewhat related - I’m very very curious to hear a detailed account of someone who uses SQLite for a production app with high traffic.

For the embedded use case I think it’s a slam dunk, but there are many interesting use cases for server side but they all seem to be toyish.

The locking behavior of SQLite is somewhat problematic unless you use WAL and even then not perfect

You have an application that works terrible if you make the scrollbar transparent.

Transparent scrollbars are not intuitive.

Yes, which is why that design is wrong. Respect @media(prefers-color-scheme). Forcing a light or dark background causes readability issues for some people.
Good morning!(i am back from the dead).
I think the best would be that I first pinpoint which parameter was the culprit (also given what I read it might be related to which sound card we use). Then we could see whether a short tutorial or a script would be the best. My first idea was to do an installation video of Archlinux fron scratch for Pro-audio, however i can understand that you would like to use your own distribution. I will try to see tonight (if i have time) what exactly was the issue and then explain how to solve it. Hopefully i could have a better understanding of what happened.

Couldn't you have just skipped over this bit? Or paraphrased it to your child? I understand that you may have been just reading along and found yourself reading out 'bad stuff' but for me, that would just be the point where I would have stopped and done either of the two options above (skip or summarise).
On the face of it, it is good. The problem is trolls masquerading as individual/small-business inventors.
Where is the SNR better than HN though? Maybe lobste.rs, but there's almost no conversation. It's easier imo to ignore the stuff that I don't care about (despite regularly getting caught up in whatever dumb thing) and pick out the interesting gems, than anywhere else.

Put another way, there's a tradeoff between false positives, (hustle bro Musk story, say) and false negatives (a story that would generate good discussion not making the front page - yesterday there was one about the air India flight landing in Russia that had a bunch of political comments but also lots of interesting talk about other times planes landed on the wrong runway, taking off with one engine, etc.)

Since the cost of false negative is much higher than false positives, better to skew that way.

Remember Anonymous? That was all derivative of various chan boards and Something Awful. You probably overlap with those users more than you'd like to admit.

A thing I realized was that there's a lot of people who lurk the chans and end up promoting the more mainstream-ready content to their other communities. The chans are essentially the boiler room in terms of their role in the ecosystem of the internet.

There are also Merkel trees, which are closer to the signature -on-"subdocuments" mentioned above. Also blockchains that explicitly include the previous block's hash.
Also don't use buttons that don't show me the link I'm navigating to. If you must have a different style, style them around an `a href`, not a `button`.

And actions should be buttons, not links. I'm looking at all of those cookie websites with a 'link' that says 'Confirm choices' and a button that says 'Allow all'. Instinctively we go to the button, not the link.

Weirdly enough I responded on the Image send to Microsoft via MS Edge article about how even Microsoft, the writer of LOTS of documentation on how to make good UIs, abuses all these things.

Now, of course we could argue about how these things just visuals, but that's not completely true. Lots of screen readers depend on the semantics of the document structure to actually identify objects correctly. Button? Action, edit, sign up, delete, .... Something that actually changes something.
