Discussed here yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36475144

On further examination, the one thing it doesn't discuss is Wi-Fi, although it has 2.4gHz. Well, I'll leave this here in case you find it interesting.

As someone who lives in Louisiana, this law is just really annoying by requiring ID for a few of the big porn sites.

It doesn't prevent access to most sites, which don't implement it, or porn on sites like twitter or google, which the law doesn't cover.

So some kids are maybe stopped (via this law) from a few sources of porn content while the vast majority are still there.

While the law is very annoying for all the adults that want to use some of the bigger porn sites.

> I'm personally impressed that Fedora is fully open source while being released by a for-profit company

You shouldn’t be. Fedora is a community project. RedHat, while a huge contributor, does not maintain all the packages therein.

In the end, RHEL is a fork of Fedora so it’s reasonable for the contributors to Fedora to annoyed by this change in the ability to make OS rebuilds of RHEL.

How is that relevant? The benchmark for Oregon in 1951 was the safety past prior to 1951. Oregon wasn't building regulations based on future data they couldn't possibly have.
Just a quick note: debian stable has a new release every two years. So in the very worst case "decades" means like three years. The horror, the humanity, just remembering how software used to be three whole years ago causes me to shudder.
Ask HN: How Do You Stay Comfortable While Working During Travel?
I have been WFH since 2011, and I've got that down pat. But these days I have the opportunity to travel and work while doing so. I have a laptop and a second screen for it, and am comfortable working with it.

The issue I worry about is comfort/safety while AirBNB'ing or otherwise staying out of the house, away from my excellent chair or even my decent couch setup. Standard "executive" chairs are rarely comfortable for more than a couple of hours. Plus, I can't guarantee I'll always be able to find a desk/chair to work from. So, how are all of you travelers making do? What tips would you have for somebody who wants to work while traveling? Thanks a lot.

I actually agree with all of that, but I don't think the hot take gets us there. You can have backlash and people walking away, while staying fact-based and even tempered. In fact I think that's far more effective because then (Red Hat in this case) will see the logical connection. If it's just emotional stuff then it's easy to dismiss the quitters as irrational fringe people that aren't reasonable anyway (and I don't think that's far off from the reality).

> Debian has decades old versions of packages that they'll backport security fixes into till pretty much the end of time

I don't know what filthy corner of the internet you get this misinformation from, but it is completely wrong. Please stop.
I don’t really see how that’s relevant. Paying into the FDIC DIF is a legal requirement of the banks. It’s basically a tax. Somehow bankers have convinced everyone that they have impunity to mess up the financial system just because they pay a special tax.

And if the FDIC is really going to offer unlimited depositor protection, they’re going to need a lot more than the 100-200B in the DIF.
Noticing when an app has servers in different regions
I thought iOS Safari had built-in ad-blocking functionality (block list filled by extensions)?
If I parse through and get to the concern being voiced, I'd rephrase it as "how can I trust you with access to my cloud".

There is no easy answer but here is my response:
1. We take precautions to enable connections through oauth/app mechanisms for VCS integrations and IAM roles for cloud accounts like aws and gcp
2. Our incentives are aligned - we make money only if we earn and keep the trust of our customers
3. We have gone to extra lengths to enable easy exits in case companies want to move out.

These, broadly speaking, are true for any other provider that you would use and may now trust for app hosting or CDNs or version control or payments - some of which are SmallCos and some were SmallCos until just a couple of years ago.

At some level, it all boils down to "trust us" but hope this provides context.
The drama around it is awkward, but I think Winer has a point about the success of RSS being at least partially attributable to it not changing. The immediate analogy that springs to mind is email, also archaic, also widely adopted, you don't have to fear that there will be breaking changes or some company will decide it's going away tomorrow. You just use it and it works. (RSS actually had that apocalyptic moment when Google Reader shut down, did it die? Nope.)

The net result is that RSS is low maintenance, the implementations out there are stable and have been around for years, very little work needs to be done on code which deals with RSS, millions of websites continue using it and no one has to lose any sleep over it.

Not that I wouldn't like to see any improvements at all. It would be nice if these guys could set aside their differences and say look, we'll do an update of some kind and increment the major version by 1, say, every 10-15 years. Yes that's practically glacial in Internet time, maybe that's actually good.
> That pretty much sounds like freeloading to me.

I'll bite. The value in RHEL was supposed to be in the support. CentOS helped establish and maintain RHEL as the defacto standard that everyone targetted and prevent the development of another. I mean if Debian becomes the default that actual reduces RHEL's value proposition for their paying customers. Reinforcing a platform's dominance is contributing value.
Because 25! = 25*(24!), and 25 itself is 100/4. So 25! = 10*(10/4)*24! Now since we are given 24! ~10^24, it follows that 25! ~ (10/4)*10^25. But 10/4 is just a bit over 2, not a strong enough multiplicative factor to break the "approximately equals relationship". Therefore 25! ~ 10^25.
QED
Yeah absolutely - if one were to do a startup in this space you would want:

- The platform to have a history of developer-friendliness (although so true the inherent risk of building on APIs today is quite high)

- The users of the platform to not care about LLM data privacy stuff (no health care, etc.)

- The company that built the platform to be sufficiently old or bureaucratic such that they won't be able to disrupt themselves on the 'NLI' front

- Ideally the company has a history of acquisitions as a means of product improvements

Such a fascinating frontier for disruption!
Whoops, looks like there was a bug, just fixed it, could you try again?
Just the opposite, I think. Red Hat is fighting the idea that the operating system is a commodity, and demonstrating that the RHEL subscription does have value.

Red Hat's competitors have tried really really hard to undermine RHEL as something of value. The cloud providers like AWS and Azure provide their own base Linux distros to run workloads on. They'd love to cut Red Hat out of the picture. Oracle wants to convince customers to give it all their money to run workloads, hence Oracle Linux -- that's based on RHEL.

If RHEL were, as you say, "a ball of generic open source components" then you wouldn't see all this wailing and gnashing of teeth about making it harder for Alma and Rocky to claim "bug for bug" compatibility with RHEL. Nobody would care.

Note that this has been going on for more than 20 years, and this isn't the first time. I've been writing about this on my blog, but we've seen this story before and the only thing that has changed are the names of the vendors / projects and the version numbers. (See: https://dissociatedpress.net/2023/06/26/red-hat-and-the-clon...)
Sagemaker is probably a bad example since most folks who run ML workloads on AWS don't use it (from what I've seen talking to many ML teams). It's partially a scattered focus on their customer type (are they for experts/non-experts/something in between?, what exact use cases are they covering?) and partially I think just bad UI/UX (related to customer focus). AWS will converge on what is working for ML platforms and just build their own as time goes on. First mover advantage won't matter and these earlier ML platforms will be consumed imho

I brought my mechanical split keyboard with me on my bike packing trip and I tried to adjust the height of my chair the best I could (using pillows and other things if need be). The split keyboard is maybe the most important thing for me to feel comfortable and at home, and it was well worth the added weight and the weird looks. The second screen (LG portable 4k, highly recommended) was crucial too.

MxChip has something interesting, but yeah, they're Chinese. http://mxchip.cc/

There are no non Chinese alternatives, sadly, and even using only a Chinese network chip, this wouldn't protect from backdoors contained in the network chip firmware itself.
I wouldn't like my hardware to be filled by backdoors by anyone, but if I had to choose, I would always choose backdoors from China, if not because I assume they'd be a lot less interested in spying me than my own government (that is, I would be to them a hop to reach a target, not the target) and also backdoors that connect to government addresses in my own country would be harder to spot and block compared to those connecting to another continent.

In doubt, I would put that stuff behind a dedicated firewall anyway, no matter who makes the chips.
The “NIMBY cartel” here is any and all real estate investors, who have turned both housing and office space in large cities into a speculative asset class from which they expect to receive returns far beyond sanity. I wouldn’t gamble on them being disrupted any time soon.

> On a positive note, they recently shared the repository with some other open-source maintainers, so there's hope that Redash will be reborn.

Yeah, the root of the problem (in my opinion) was that Redash has sooo many Python dependencies (due to supporting so many databases and similar) that it's become a real hairball source code wise to keep them all playing together nicely.

Especially as over time (say) library package FOO has some security vulnerability reported that gets fixed in a new release... but the dependencies of the newer release are too new to work with (say) package BAR. Times that by 50 and it's a real pita.

Simultaneously to that, the Redash team got busy with their work at Databricks (mostly not Redash related). Then the automatic CircleCI checks on PRs started failing (ugh), etc.

---

But, as @bratao mentioned above that's all getting worked through now.

Admin and maintainer permissions have been given to a group of dev volunteers / known Redash enthusiasts. CI is working again now (as of last night), and we're currently untangling the dependency hairball.

It's likely to be a few weeks (minimum I guess) before any new official releases are ready, but it will happen. :)
> The process of replicating RHEL is so much easier today than ever before.

I would argue that it was easier a few weeks ago when they made source rpms available publicly.
In order to login through some captive portals on restricted networks you need a browser. Presumably you sometimes even need JavaScript, or else Nintendo likely wouldn't have included a JS engine since that greatly increases the attack vector.

It would have been possible to design a system of letting users read the ToS of a network and enter login information without needing an entire browser. Granted, it's probably safe to assume most captive portals aren't trying to exploit your non-traditional computing device (such as a Nintendo Switch), and if a user is changing the DNS to evade a captive portal and go to some other site, then any exploits that occur on their device are kind of their own fault, but it still seems like a suboptimal system. Either you're going to have a bunch of exploitable devices that otherwise would in practice be secure since they need to have a web browser, or you're going to have devices that straight up can't access many networks (since they don't have a built-in browser.) I'd argue the latter problem is even greater than the former: web browsers are incredibly complex! If your device is capable of running an already existing browser (e.g. Linux or BSD based systems), then it's not that big of a deal. But if it isn't (e.g. certain embedded systems), then it sucks, though there are sometimes workarounds to accessing captive networks without an on-device browser (e.g. AppleTV lets you login through captive portals on iPhone or iPad — works for people in the Apple ecosystem, but that integration isn't as easy with devices from unaffiliated companies.)
There is a ToS in these services as well.

And you can't use many from those services to actually register an account for a meaningful service. E.g. have you created Instagram account with them?

Seems like there is a determined will to blacklist as many as possible.

this is probably reddit's biggest PR nightmare and this will make a permanent stain on the company.

Lemmy/kbin getting increased development is probably the best case scenario.

with the reddit sync dev and other devs making 3rd party clients we're going to see Lemmy be a viable alternative in the coming weeks or months.

As much as this type of corruption sucks... I gotta say recreation.gov is way better than what came before it, with every state and federal system doing their own random thing with terrible UX and horrible performance, and many campsites having no online presence at all.

Many places now on recreation.gov used to require you to fax in reservations and wait days for a confirmation, or else just do the drive up and fill out a paper slip thing the morning of (too bad if they're all gone).

Sure, it'd be nice to clean up the fees and get more money to the parks themselves, but I gotta give credit to the website for cleaning up what used to be a nightmare and turning it into a pretty streamlined (if slightly more expensive) process.

Edit: Imagine if we had a similar system for the departments of motor vehicles... pay 20% more but get it all done in minutes online instead of hours at the local office. Who wouldn't pay for that if they could afford it?

Of course it would be better to have actually functional public services, but our governments just don't seem to be set up to actually be effective at basic services. Is it worse for public dollars to get funneled to a public private partnership with an overhead, that at least delivers a functional product, or to just disappear forever into the coffers of bureaucrats and their cronies with nothing to show for it?
> But that said, as far as I know, one guy used the term "freeloaders" and the context wasn't clear at all who he was talking about

One guy? The sentiment of CentOS users being freeloaders is shared by a lot of people, inside and outside of IBM.

I remember when the original announcement came out that CentOS was being killed in favour of CentOS Stream. Lots of IBM (Red Hat) employees were defending the change by painting CentOS users as getting a paid product for free. Lots of people here on Hacker News and Reddit and other places were defending it as well.

Don't try to rewrite history.
Thanks! I was actually surprised at not knowing how to get that representation. In particular, I was surprised that Common Lisp has a way to get binary for integers, but I don't see how to get the float binary printed out.

As a somewhat heavy user of recreation.gov this suit really makes me happy. The cancellation fees are borderline insane - ex. a $25 per day camping site fee that needs to be cancelled leads to a $10 fee per day, meaning that the fee is 40% of the initial reservation price.
A lot of people think they as willing to pay for it, but very few really want to see their property and fuel taxes double or triple.
It's not too surprising when you realize that Fedora is really just a testbed for future RHEL iterations, once the packages involved have been field-tested and hardened. It's similar to how Debian branches progress (unstable -> test -> stable).
Because that is in essence why Obj-C works the way it does -- e.g., has all the square brackets. Obj-C is the child of smalltalk and C. It wasn't created in a vacuum.
I don’t.

Reason: I work building ‘internet stuff’ and I want to experience the internet in the same way that the majority of people experience it.

Overclassification has been a problem for years. Every year, millions of classified documents are generated--not all of it top-secret, scif-class stuff, but still restricted. Which makes the job of keeping tabs on all of it difficult. It is arguable that too many people have classification authority, and that a lot of material is classified for categorical reasons but have no real security meaning.
Are you perhaps looking at the wrong time scale? I wasnt around for it but as I understand the digg -> reddit transition took over a year.
Just curious, how is Databricks going to be irrelevant? I thought they were a reasonably powerful database provider for data analytics platforms in many companies?
I would have agreed with you based on the comment/post metrics, but on a personal level I've noticed that a lot of subs are the walking dead. Places like Not The Onion which have always had (too many tbh) submissions and reposts are suddenly basically dead.

I'm starting to suspect that whole comments, votes and views are driven by many people, it's actually a fairly small cadre who gather and post conte nt for everyone else to view, comment and vote on... and a lot of that seems to have stopped.

The impression I get is that Reddit is walking wounded at the very least, and that while the protest didn't accomplish much, it was in fact a small outcropping of a deeper issue. The blackout was the iceberg above the water, people just saying "screw it, I'm done" is the other 90% below the waterline.
Because those curves are a psuedo-mythological abstraction - a lot in life does not actually work that way.
They create services for data scientists (notebooks) and machine learning engineers (Spark).
The other major issue is that commercial space has much different plumbing requirements than residential. Commercial plumbing is mostly centralized with low flow pipes for sprinkler systems. That's not sufficient for residential space and it would take significant construction to add in that plumbing.

Some commercial space will have similar issues with air conditioning and power.

I'm often amazed when Big Brains trot out the "turn offices into residential!" without for a second wondering where people will shit.

The RA4M1 is an ARM Cortex core, but it could be that Renesas offered to subsidize some of the cost of the board by providing the chips with some kind of sweetheart deal. Not a bad idea if so, Renesas can generate a whole lot of interest in their platform for what is probably a rounding error in their bottom line. And they've previously invested in Arduino (https://www.eenewseurope.com/en/renesas-backs-arduino-with-1...).
