ProjectiFi seemed promising enough that I was willing to support it with the purchase of a lifetime membership about two years ago (almost to the day, according to my password manager) when I saw the “Show HN”. Seeing the rebrand had me worried about shenanigans like this new thing is suddenly under a different license because it’s a different product or some such nonsense.

Very pleased that my account still displays that lifetime badge! Just wanted to drop a comment expressing my appreciation that the “lifetime” remains honored. Especially considering that said purchase was at a pretty steep discount in comparison to the current price.
Ask HN: Was anyone forcibly logged out of all HN sessions?
I found it odd that I was prompted to log in on all devices (spanning OSes/devices), despite no password change or any action on my part.

I'm curious if others have experienced this.
Stack overflow has been dying for a few years, too much sweaty turbonerd stuff and for JavaScript they always seems to give bad examples.
We're Not Platonists, We've Just Learned the Bitter Lesson
So "spamming" is a blatant word to use in this case.
This loads files off your local device, hence the "local development" part of the title.

The extensions might do things with your code (same as with Coder, albeit with a different marketplace) but the code doesn't live in the cloud a la GitHub/VS Codespaces.
That can also happen in a crosswind - the plane is flying in a liquid.

Just like to take a boat directly across a fast river you have to aim it “upstream” - same thing can happen with a plane on landing.

It’s hard to explain but one feels different from the other.
I've long wanted an informational slider to bits of text. Something where you can zoom in and out to the level of desired complexity. LLM's might be able to fill in some of those gaps. You could turn any paper into a introduction of the subject it's a part of.
Have been using Wayland for the last 2.5 years on Fedora with Gnome. I like it very much.

I'm using it with Intel integrated graphics.
As much as SEO experts would love to do that for their clients, I don't see any way they could've realistically crossed that moat. If you had a programming question, and you went to Google to answer it and found some answers - would you choose Stack Overflow, or PythonIsSuperFun.com? I think the behaviour of Google searching for programming issues decreased overall, and I don't think Stack Overflow suffered more than any other site. Disclosure: I've nearly abandoned SO for ChatGPT myself.
Do the Global South want to buy into surveillance technology this badly?

It's way more complex.

I would call that "stable" :) Or "good enough, that it doesn't need constant fixing" :)
0xD5 was the old BCD instruction: AAD
presumably it will be the server chips that are all p cores that have it. to me it seems like a dumb choice, but it is consistent with what Intel is doing now
Elite College Admissions Data Suggests Being Very Rich Is Its Own Qualification
so you are, literally, both correct.

The legislative has never been weaker (minority) and never been more authoritarian (majority).

Glad we can all agree on something.
PoC: TCP Simultaneous Open (NB. Disable Outbound RST in Firewall)
I suspect this could be improved by, say, installing the same biometric recognition machines they have use for border control at every post office/bank/etc. These machines could attest that you are present and signing something. They would still require some oversight, but one person could oversee many machines.

I'm sure this is an unpopular idea on HN, but at least it's a way that our governments could use facial recognition/fingerprints/retina to reduce fraud.
I don't mean to state the obvious, but if I was to make a language that looked just like C++ and compiled to Python, people would be scratching their heads. Typically you compile down to a more efficient language, not a less efficient one.

I suppose this is mostly about making Go more expressive. I don't really understand why you wouldn't just use Haskell, OCaml or even Rust, but maybe you have a ton of Go code that you need to play nicely with?
I’m quite surprised there hasn’t been a cloud apocalypse yet where something just runs rampant through AWS or something.
The implication from the parent comment is "things aren't perfect where you are therefore we shouldn't improve things".
Is a townsquare a technology?
gstatic.com is a cookieless domain. The persistent push connection needed by FCM (like APNS on iPhones) can tie the IP to a specific account, so this captive portal check gives them less information than they already have. Luckily on Android, you can use UnifiedPush and run your own push server to gain actual privacy.
This is a fun proposition and I thought about this often, but in reality it's not really that fair to ask that question if they don't know you well, in the same way someone might fail to guess your exact age or nationality by just looking at you.

That doesn't mean astrology is true, just that your question isn't as witty as you might think.
There's not necessarily a contradiction here—both companies can be completely screwed up at the same time.
I agree, but I'm afraid the downvotes are inevitable. SO for a long time had by a very long shot the best signal-to-noise ratio of any free-as-in-beer Q&A channel. Basically any live comms channels (IRC, Matrix, and so on) disincentivise clear, thoughtful responses in favour of streams of consciousness. And forums is where information goes to die, as every question turns into a huge back-and-forth until the question is sufficiently refined to receive a useful answer, which is usually extremely specific ("run this command") rather than generally applicable ("you need to frobnicate the foon, for example by running this command").

Unfortunately anything popular is a target, and once they stopped trying to innovate to keep ahead of systems gaming they were going to lose eventually. It's amazing it took this long.
I’ve seen it in most/all Costco’s I’ve been to.
It feels different in different planes - I always felt the Cessnas were glued to the sky no matter how much I slipped, but the pipers would drop like a rock if I needed them to.
Personally a lot of the points in this article are pretty decent, but I think the solution is not Rust but something like LFortran (https://lfortran.org) which has an interactive REPL, can be AOT compiled, no performance footguns, and is Fortran (a big plus for adoption by scientists).
Jeez - I can't imagine the stress he's under in dealing with something that isn't, and should never have been, something he has to deal with. It's enough to make you want to scream into a pillow until your lungs give out.

It's just so frustrating and deflating to go through the process. It's a chore that shouldn't really be our problem - but it is and it feels terrible to be beholden to that process and ultimately come out losing in the end when you get a letter like that in the mail.

I had a identity theft come up a few years ago and I'm still dealing with it (all the way back from 2016!). But at the end of the day, I really shouldn't complain because things could always have been worse.

I just empathize with your final sentiment completely. We're just...beholden to it. Bleh.
And you don't quote net profit on 2018 and 2019
Close enough, it is unique!
Don't know if it was still the case, but OpenBSD would not get early vuln info because they wouldn't sit on embargoes and would patch right away.
At some point you kind of need to assume the pilots aren’t suicidal nor are they complete idiots, and it would be ridiculous for them to simply circle around aimlessly until they run out of fuel. Being motivated for survival, they are going to fly to the nearest appropriate airport well in advance of an actual emergency situation.

Further consider that other than this story—where the aircraft ran out of fuel due to a wildly unlucky confluence of technical and human failures—you have never heard of a passenger jet running out of fuel midair. Through decades of storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, and every other natural disaster imaginable, we have found a way to get planes onto the ground with fuel to spare.
We're planning to submit the essays when they're ready.
> it would certainly be interesting to program in a language ... where all iterables had to derive from a common base class, but it would be a very different language from python

You mean Ruby? :P

(All Ruby iteratables mixin Enumerable, which is baaaaaaaasically inheritance.)
I knew it could happen with wind, so that's what I assumed it was. I didn't realize the pilot could put the plane in that kind of slide. Very cool!
The thing that gets me in the originally posted link is that the author decided since this was Air Canada, every single person involved must end their sentences with 'eh'.
I know it's a really minor point, but in a blog post about Python (rather than just one that is using Python), it kind of bothers me to see "non-Pythonic" code style,

if(x > 0): ...

vs

if x > 0: ...

but probably just OCD kicking in.
The checkout experience in PL is just standard Paddle checkout, so I imagine the feedback about charging after the free trial applies to everyone who uses Paddle?

I tend to think the Paddle checkout flow is clear enough on how their free trial period works, and I don't recall anyone else taking issue with that in the past.

But if the sentiment is shared that Paddle's checkout copy needs improvement, I can certainly pass that along to the Paddle team.

Was the OP here talking about Premium or Pro though? b/c I'm still wondering where that $592 came from.

Cypress Debugger
A free plugin to record everything that’s happening during Cypress test runs - browser logs, network events, DOM changes and replaying in a web player. It’s like Playwright Traces but for Cypress - convenient for debugging failed CI runs.
The problem is the lack of nuance, or anything from the other perspective.

There's zero chance the "other side" woke up one day and decided to be evil. But that's how this article frames the situation, which does it far more disservice than the writer realizes.

How about the article sharing why the "other side" views things they way they do? Share some polling on the subject, educate readers on both perspectives and possible goals and outcomes.

Instead, it's all doomsday talk and how democracy is hanging on by a tired thread...

Currently this just reads like the low/zero effort posts all to common in the US which essentially devolve into a tantrum when someone didn't get their way.
I'm not old enough (or been in the appropriate industry) to have worked with mainframes. I started in the heyday of the workstations (Sun, HP-UX, AIX, SGI) as a reaction to the annoyances of mainframes.

Why pay for disk and compute access when you can have a workstation! Why have limited access to the system when you can have your own! Was the vibe.

It is amusing/sad that in the AWS world we're right back to basically mainframes. Centrally hosted massive compute that you don't really have full control or access and have to pay for use time.

I wonder when the next swing back to personal computing arrives?
AnyType Server Offline
Discussion of education system seems more relevant to HN than a clickbait politics article with a headline that he didn't actually say (or at least, they didn't put that quote in the article).
Painful but necessary unless liability is shifted
That sounds like a pretty wild statement.
Yeah, except for those of us working on old software that still runs the business.
point 3 seems just made up to me? Like. Why?

Here's another take:

Everything is changing and being changed. There is no "first" because the universe is not linear. And ultimately there is no actual division between "changed" and "changer". There is just "change".
That's going to depend on your domain, because most fronted d questions I come across end in "there is a jquery plugin for that" which don't help modern sites without jquery.
When that happens, storage is used to provide the power.

We can then ask, how much storage is needed? This is an optimization problem. We need to specify how much solar, wind, batteries, and long term storage (hydrogen) to use so that cost is minimized. The latter is important especially at high latitudes and is often ignored by those trying to argue renewables can't do it.

This optimization problem is solved (for the problem of providing "synthetic baseload") at this web site: https://model.energy
The web site uses historical weather data combined with various adjustable assumptions about various costs. The optimal solution varies greatly depending on location, and often includes some curtailment of renewable sources. Even so, the costs are not bad, usually considerably less than providing the same power with new construction nuclear.

Upon seeing this, I was compelled to check if Medievia.com is still active. Holy moly, it is.
Grabbing the wheel and jerking hard left, some of the gradients when my browser rendered the gallery we very optical illusion-y. I could have sworn the lines were animated, to the point I moved my cursor to the end of a line to see it was not moving.
The crucial operation here is epoll_wait, not epoll_create.

Are you saying that the system call is performed on another kernel thread while goroutine continue running on the GOMAXPROCS threads?
"The explainer is authored by four Googlers, including at least one person on Chrome's "Privacy Sandbox" team, which is responding to the death of tracking cookies by building a user-tracking ad platform right into the browser."

Mr Amadeo does a good job succinctly explaining the explainer.
I've been using KDE's Wayland session for ~6 months now. Things have gotten really good with Kwin, and the last major bugs I experienced have been ironed out. It's usable for work, gaming and web browsing without any crashes. At this point I think X11 is quickly becoming the less-stable option.

I'm on NixOS with both Nvidia and Intel hardware. Both run extremely well with modern KDE.
The dashes serve humans eyeballing uuids, not computers. You can remove the uuid in your language of choice and I’m confident it will be able to parse.

How are uuids pointless?

Hexadecimal is much more human friendly than say, binary.
Norse people are pretty amazing when it comes to English speaking, next comes German and Dutch. It seems EU people are generally potent in multilingual. Granted English may be like a dialect to them.
My understanding was that Zenbleed code runs in userspace therefore it doesn't matter if kernel/libraries use AVX optimizations or not. That jab against Linux sounds like blame shifting and moving discussion away from the fact that OpenBSD did not offer microcode update at all.
I grew up going to Costco in the US and it was definitely a thing long ago.
I'm sorry, but when did I claim anything of the sort? This thread is about someone using a "+". This is the exact kind of goalpost-moving I expected of you. Just take your L and get off the internet for the day.
> I disagree. After going through quite a few research papers in my time, I've found the best are the ones that are direct and to the point. Many papers I've spent many hours/days trying to unravel just to realize the concepts were straightforward, not very novel, and there wasn't much of real substance to the paper.

Can say the same thing about code. Some people just honestly don't want to give away how simple the core logic is seemingly, and will lead you through myriad twists and turns to finally see the point.
> The cost of freedom must be taken into account too, it's a value not only relevant to humans.

In my mind sentience is a spectrum and cows aren't very far along it. I spent my childhood working with cows and I can tell you they're dumb as rocks. They have little memory of the past and zero concept of the future. They were always happy to see us and had no concept of their freedom being restricted or that we would eventually auction them and their offspring to the slaughterhouse. People that are worried about cow rights have usually never spent time with them. Goats are further down the spectrum, but still dumb. Certain other cattle like pigs are said to be quite intelligent so there's more of an argument to be made.
Medievia – Do You Dare Enter?
(Mainly usa context) Most of what people commonly call "us supermarkets" are also "hypermarkets". But basically it's combining not only department stores but also with grocery stores.

For example Target used to not include groceries until recently. For Walmart it's the difference between their 'regular' Walmart and the Walmart Supercenters. (Target also has their SuperTarget variant)

Most of Fred Meyer's are 'hypermarkets' including fuel, groceries and more.

Though, the trend isn't always to ever larger stores. There's Walmart Neighborhood Market and even say small Ikea stores nowadays.
if it was that simple, scorching deserts would have more life than more temperate microclimates that can hold moisture.
How can that even make sense without any axioms. You can’t say logic doesn’t work because i proved a true statement is false.
You're introducing an unnecessary concept. We know the physical brain is doing the thinking, and we know that it can be manipulated physically. Throwing in metaphysics just for shits and giggles is like saying we don't know how much physics controls the motion of the stars and that there could be metaphysics involved there as well. Good luck telling physicists that they don't need to search for dark matter because everything can be explained with magic.
Pointing out your ignorance and disingenuity is not a "righteous diatribe". If you are insulted over how people are responding to these frankly ridiculous comments of yours, that's your problem. No one is required to take you seriously.
Wall Street Is Bracing for a Fresh Deluge of Treasury Bills
I actually prefer the conceptual model the author suggests:

> Originally I wanted to call this function ghostmax, as you can think of there being an extra zero-valued entry in x (as exp(0)=1), as well as a zero vector in the V matrix that attenuates the result.

Don't think of this as weighting the options so that some of the time none of them is chosen. ("Weights that add up to less than 1.") Instead, think of this as forcing the consideration of the option "do nothing" whenever any set of options is otherwise considered. It's the difference between "when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail [and gets hammered]" and "when all you have is a hammer, nails get hammered and non-nails get ignored".

I like this framing because, as an example, it bothers me that our speech-to-text systems use this method:

1. A human predetermines what language the input will use.

2. Audio in that language is fed to transcribing software.

3. You get, with modern technology, a pretty decent transcription.

3(a). ...if the audio sample was really in the language chosen in step 1.

If you ignore the choice of language and feed French audio to an English transcriber, you get gibberish. This is wildly at odds with how humans do transcription, where absolutely the first thing that a system that only knows how to transcribe English will do, when given French audio, is object "hey, this is definitely not English".
Yep, 100%. Using HTML as it was intended helps with SEO, accessibility, readability, semantic understanding, etc. It's got it all out of the box.

Folks just seem to go out of their way to make things harder by focusing on the JS layers and frameworks above it all. Converting everything to a sea of divs that you have to go back it to style, add ARIA roles and labels, and make keyboard-accessible.

It's all like enriched white bread: stripping out everything healthy, adding a bucket of preservatives, supplement with a few of the vitamins and minerals they leached out earlier, and market its insubstantial tastelessness like it's normal.
Mozilla just took position against this DRM API: https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/852#is...

Also, Firefox just passed ahead of Chrome on some JS speed benchmark, so you should get ready to switch back!
you mean like multiple tiers, e/client e/server e/service1 e/service2? sure, we probably get to it next year unless a customer implementation needs it sooner

wire protocol is in verbose mode, we have a binary mode as well. it’s also not optimized at all because users already report tangible performance as “incredible” “unbelievable” as compared to the status quo graphql or http RPC or whatever. remember, http transport pays a TCP round trip just to syn/ack the connection before any app payload is sent! Electric wire traffic is also differential, i.e. collections are never sent twice only what changed.

Here's the text to the changes: https://www.fldoe.org/core/fileparse.php/20653/urlt/6-4.pdf

In particular the following section:

SS.68.AA.2.3
Examine the various duties and trades performed by slaves (e.g., agricultural work, painting, carpentry, tailoring, domestic service, blacksmithing, transportation).
Benchmark Clarifications:
Clarification 1: Instruction includes how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.

It should be worth noting that there are many, many topics covered in this prescription:

* Positive influences and contributions by African Americans.

* Resiliency, contributions and influence of African Americans on the United States beginning in the colonial era through westward expansion.

* Understand the causes, courses and consequences of the slave trade in the colonies.

* Examine the service and sacrifice of African patriots during the Revolutionary Era (e.g., Crispus Attucks, Peter Salem, James Armistead Lafayette, 1st Rhode Island Regiment).

* Identify political figures who strove to abolish the institution of slavery (e.g., Thaddeus Stevens, Abraham Lincoln, Zachariah Chandler).

This is the hinge. You're in the world of people who see this as opposition technology, as something opposed to your control.

But what about everyone else? How many different chaotic absurd onboarding tech systems do various companies have? We never had a good onboarding at my last job, my current job has two or three various onboarding paths - mine is a fairly fully featured Ansible and it works great but most existing devs piss upon automating our 30+ services & make their newbies go do everything by hand, including asking for .env files over slack again and again and again.

I think there's a general intransience-ness, a stuckness, that many devs have. They see cloud and automation as an enemy of what they know. But they are just stuck, unwilling to grasp for power, unwilling to figure out how to scale themselves & their world wider. It's not that manual slow systems afford better control, it's just that there's a colossal bias against getting better & newness that most people - including devs, those who should fight for mightierness - should be grasping for.
