Narcissism, no. Gopher sucks when you can't display it properly in the 99% of the phones out there. Gemini it's like gopher on features plus TLS and not bound to a DEC terminal. And I say this by daily using OpenBSD in a netbook with xterm/tmux as the main interface.

On TLS, you can get an RPI far cheaper than a second hand 486 machine back in the day in 2001. Starting from a Pentium MMX (better a Pentium II) you can TLS just fine. Heck, even an Amiga with a 68030 can do TLS with a bit of ptience (few seconds on handshake/deal).

And any competent hoster would provide both services for its site, as lots of Gemini users do, not leaving anyone behind.

For instance, gopher://midnight.pub and gemini://midnight.pub

I've found that the people that build AI tools and the people that use AI tools seems to be quite disconnected. Phind seems to be a notable exception, bringing some value over google. I am not entirely sure why it works better than goole tho. Is that because the model behind is better ? or just you figured that removing the usual trash (adds / over engineered seo) ? But i'll take it.

Now I am just concerned about the privacy of what I share (can it be worse than google ?) and the optimality of the code ? (code usually works, but could it work faster ? what happen when new libraries get out ?)
Not at all. I meant

std::common_type_t<bool, char> ii{};
I think future techniques will be able to extract DNA from things up to 1 million years old. Sure, DNA breaks down in the environment, but when you start with 60,000,000,000,000 copies of a genome in a human, I think there is a very high chance that enough fragments of that will remain to reconstruct one copy - the only hurdle is coming up with a method to do it practically.

In a hypothetical world where we could have infinite compute power and a map of the exact location of every atom in a skull, I don't think there would be any issue getting a DNA sequence.

Then we can draw the full family tree and know for sure.
We went through these loops where I work due to the "you have to use k8s now" thing.

Your control plane and worker node can be the same machine.

Rancher + Rancher Kubernetes Engine made it a lot easier for us to manage as maintaining that is simply "run this docker container" and it deploys all the k8s gubbins for you. And k3s is a lot more lightweight on resources than k8s. Stuff like certificate rotation and kubernetes version upgrades are handled for us, it's reduced to clicking buttons on UI.

Storage can be local, it's just not / wasn't well explained in the documentation. PersistentVolume[Claim]s can use directories on the host, those PVs/PVCs can be shared between many pods and you can mount subdirectories into each pod using `subPath`.

You can get it all running on a laptop using a couple hundred MB of memory, all in all. So, not going to be ideal for running on a Raspberry Pi, but on par with a lightweight linux desktop environment in terms of resource usage.

I hate the complexity sometimes, but then I still end up having the same learning curves with things like SystemD when I use them anyway - every "run a bunch of stuff on my machine and restart it if it breaks" system seems to be rife with edge cases and behaviours which you have to dig deep into the documentation to see - and we don't _want_ to RTFM if we don't expressly _have_ to :-)

^ Although, okay, SystemD doesn't require you to have random HTTPS authenticated endpoints to talk to it and TLS certificates which expire every year and consists of _one_ init process rather than like 7 interdependent docker containers which can restart at any time and rely on container infrastructure to be running and argh. Okay yeah the flashbacks are happening and I agree with everything you've said again.
An interview process like that should make you wonder what the ongoing employee appraisal process is like.

From outside it looks very much like HR is out of control.
How will this affect GNU/Linux? They mention an installer and a yes/no prompt, which to me implies Windows. If it can be disabled, I suppose distro packagers will likely make the choice for the user when they create the package. Or is this a driver that would be included in the kernel itself?

If you are an art lover, you know how amazing it is to turn a blank piece of paper into something amazing. Paint By Numbers Flowers has become so popular in recent years because it’s so approachable and easy to use, especially when you’re trying to capture the beauty of nature. In this post, we will explore the world of painting by numbers kits and how it creates therapeutic sessions for budding artists and florists alike.

Let’s get started with Pansy Flowers paint by numbers. Pansies have always been a bit of a symbol for free thought and remembrance, with their bright colors and unique patterns. Making a painting out of them is a challenge, but painting with a guided approach is up for the challenge. By using a system of numbered sections and matching colors, you can get a feel for what a pansy is all about. It’s an immersive experience, because every time you paint a pansy, it comes alive on the canvas.

Next, we will take a look at Jasmine Flowers paint by numbers. These kinds of flowers are famous for their sweet smell and pretty appearance. They have a lot of cultural and religious importance all over the world, so it’s no surprise that they’re a popular choice for artists. The jasmine is known for its intricate pattern and its bright white against the green leaves, so it’s a great challenge for anyone to paint with it.

Our journey finished with Poppy Anemone Paint By Numbers. The explosion of vibrant colors against the dark center of the anemone is an eye-catching sight and an absolute pleasure to paint. Every detail is captured, from the soft petals to all the contrasting colors. With painting using numerical guidance, you don’t have to worry about what’s going wrong with your painting. You can just focus on what’s coming out of your hands and let your creativity flow. Plus, you’ll feel so good when you’re done!

To sum up, floral Paint By numbers kits, like the Pansy or Jasmine or Poppy anemone, provide a structured and easy-to-use approach to art. These kits are perfect for aspiring artists and hobbyists who want to explore their creativity and find peace in the process. Not only do they provide an engaging painting experience, but they leave you with a beautiful piece of art that captures the magic of these gorgeous flowers.
Nvidia’s drivers are of horrid quality. They basically been break-fix-break-fix-break-fix on Destiny 2 and Sea of Thieves, with the broken version dropping a locked 144FPS PC to ~50FPS.

They seem to employ zero regression testing.

No more so than any other item of clothing, the rules on which vary wildly by era and culture.

Why are women's, and only women's, nipples banned on Facebook and in many cases in public? Usual answer is to protect minors, but the biological purpose of the milk-producing glands they're attached to and after which the taxonomic class of "mammal" is named… is to feed infants. Banning male nipples would be less weird.

When the first Labour MP went to Westminster, he was criticised for the wrong kind of hat.

Used to be illegal for women to wear men's clothes in France (until 2013 technically if not in practice); and Florida is apparently considering treating the opposite as an inherently sexual act.

While face masks do have non-zero impact in some cases, that impact is much rarer and smaller than the discourse around it would imply — fursuiters can dance in much more restricted facewear.
I have noticed that YouTube no longer requires the "rolling cipher" for unthrottled downloads. Also, it appears this court was not made aware that users can still perform throttled downloads without using the "rolling cipher" and without "youtube-dl". The download links are in the YouTube page source, as is the case for hundreds of other video sharing sites across the web. If YouTube really wanted to stop users from downloading it could easily do so, by removing those links from the page, for starters.
The idea that banks are private companies in any country is not entirely true. Everyone knows that if a reasonably big bank fails, governments will intervene to protect people's money.

Banks are technically private but won't be valued as much without government protection. So, to some extent, it's not wrong for the government to tax them more than other private companies.

However, a negative consequence of this tax it reduces the bank's incentive to lend money to small and risky companies/startups. This is equivalent to increasing capital gains to 40% - why invest in risky assets if I know I will ever only receive a small percentage of my profits (if any)?
> The politicians know that people only care about the first stage of effects.

I think this is a slightly reductionist view, but the effect is the same and unpacking it here won't change anything.

In the least snarky way possible, can anyone think of an example where capitalism promotes or encourages long-term thinking?
Yeah, I could've used any one of them, before 1.1.1.1 I usually used Google.

I seriously have no idea what you're talking about.

I'm talking about Apple denying developers access to the USB port, the way they always have with the Lightning port and the iPod port before it.

They've even crippled Bluetooth.
I have thought about how these tools can be useful quite a lot. I have a prompt I can feed chat gpt and it will create whole feature "skeletons" with my naming rules and architecture quirks. Taking a lot of time from getting started when building something new. But with chat it is still too inconvenient, having something like this integrated in the ide via a script would he more convenient but still a very specific use case.

I think what I want is this idea of "code completion" but not for writing the methods, which is the easy part. Instead the tool should structure classes and packages and modules and naming and suggest better ways to write certain things.
I'm currently working on Java bindings for my own native library. (I'd like to use the Panama FFM API, but unfortunately, my first user is stuck on JDK 11 for now, so I'm stuck with JNI.) Do you have any recommendations on how I should handle the packaging and library loading problem, so I don't make things worse for Conveyor (though my first user isn't using that)? Any reference implementation that I should look at and copy?
There are only two hard problems in computer science:

Cache invalidation

ParaOff-by-one

llelism errors
This should also be implemented in Apple iOS.
It kind of screws over everyone except yourself though.

VCs gave you money for a VC business, you get to turn it into a "lifestyle business" with no or little obligation to them anymore.

Your employees joined what they thought was a growing startup, then you lay them off after they built the product because there's no need for them anymore since you're not trying for hypergrowth.

Kinda shitty all round except for you.
While this post has some merit, all of these problems can easily be solved and there are dozens of guides on hit.

The entire "CIS Hardening guide" will give you step by step tutorials on how to solve all of this, you just need to bother looking it up.

Look, you need a trained sysadmin anyway, no matter where you deploy. See for instance all the ubuntu machines out there that never have seen the admin update it.

Or all the terraform scripts that simply get copy pasted by orgs.

While I do agree, this is a problem, there are security conscious distributions if kubernetes out there like RKE2 or "rancher government" to make things much more secure.

This is actually my job. If you need someone how to secure your cluster and make sure stuff like this is very unlikely to happen, you can find the info in my profile. But what it comes down to is that if your DEVs have direct cluster access and you have no monitoring and alerting setup, you are kind of operating on the same level as copying and pasting stackoverflow answers and pushing them directly to prod without code review.
DNA has a ~500 year half life.

For a 300,000 year old copy of a genome to survive there’d need to be 2^600 copies to begin with.
If I understand it correctly, their idea is to use a binding polymer that needs heat to dissolve.
What's worse, it might provide other incentives. If you know that you can always negotiate a soft landing, you're not as maniacally driven towards that unicorn status, which is required to make VC economics work.
I've not looked at the specific implementation here, but Tor's implementation[0] includes a dynamic difficulty scaling.

When under attack, legitimate users will experience a moderate delay whilst attackers will need to scale their compute.

> so once you do get to the end you have the law

There is no end. Laws are just very very well performing models. But every 'law' breaks down if you violate the assumptions of the model: make things too big/small/hot/cold etc.
Try AXA1125 (BCAA + Glutamine + NAC + Arginine) for mitochondrial dysfunction. The regimen consisting of 400mg DCA + 100mg B1 Hcl + CoQ10 and Acetyl L-Carnitine got 45% of ME/CFS patients back on track (55% had other comorbidities that interferred with the effect) in some study. Lactoferrin + Iron (bisglycinate/liposomal) and diphenhydramine could help restoring gut and alleviate neurological issues from spike protein. I battled it for 2.5 years as well, people have no idea how bad it could be (felt like I was 90 year old just before death). The only remaining symptom now is occasional severe vertigo in raining weather. Good luck!
Are all those tabs loaded into memory? They shouldn't be. The benchmark uses as fresh a start as they could manage.
It's never backwards compatibility, its that a lot of code depends on features that are not present in older releases.
but this piece at least didn't really come across to me as preachy or anything. Just sort of describing how it happened. No idea if it's all accurate, but at least sounded reasonably honest and plausible.

How Meta is improving password security and preserving privacy
This is so obviously incorrect that I don't understand how someone can write it. Why did Bill Gates found Microsoft and not someone of the same age from somewhere in the Democratic Republic of the Congo?

Obviously the kid from the Congo was the problem, and not that the environment that Gates found himself in was dramatically more condusive to success than growing up in a village in Africa.

Perhaps if the guy from the Congo had pulled himself up by his bootstraps harder he would be the billionaire by now?

Careful, many people on HN (as smart as they are) have little tolerance for nuance and empathy.

And they like to respond with “whataboutism!” - which is ironically, a Soviet propaganda term.

Americans are particularly myopic and view the world though a post-history lens.
But thats of the whole DNA molecule. When it breaks down, the small chunks leftover still contain fragments of information.
No, sometimes you really don't care about that. Some software will always stay internal. Some is so specific that it will never get to a distro. Some is just experimental and providing standards-compliant packaging for it is a waste of time. And that's when FPM can be useful if you want to go that way.
* multiple documents in a single stream

Because every Python object also contains a reference count (which needs to be modified whenever the object is passed around), a `const PyObject*` is effectively useless.

continuous bioreactors are a pain to operate due to high risk of contamination, need for precise environment control and validation protocols. They have also been known for decades and are extensively used in process development. Despite all that most things are still produced in (fed)batch mode. So yeah thats still mostly marketing talk from ginkgo people, that are well-known for this kinda shit
Can you try a better developed argument than the extremely lazy Reddit-level “whataboutism” one? And look up the history of that word. It’s a Soviet propaganda term and a logical fallacy.

> There are a few reasons. Firstly people getting a pittance now for job X would also get ubi, so they'd be better off.

Sure, but the value proposition of the shitty job would be lower, which would help decide in favor of stopping it altogether.

But this doesn't show how those still working would be under any less pressure, and especially less taxation.

The only way this could be improved I can imagine is by n-order effects. Some of the people who stop working would pick up some other activity that they enjoy, which would, directly or indirectly, produce some kind of riches, at least for them, at best that could be spread around society. But I don't think this can be reliably approximated beforehand.

True but you have to give him credit for holding the fort for 1-2 years on his own with conviction esp when everyone he knew advised otherwise.
Yo I totally thought about using just files in a git repo myself. However I’m reluctant on trusting GitHub with my notes.
Maybe is self-host a git repository and use that. Hmm thanks thoughts like these are exactly why I posted this.

Also looking into Möbius, which is an iOS implementation of syncthing.
While my heuristics says a lot of those deserves bans, where in that process are local law enforcement and court systems involved? It sounds wrong that a Stripe account, AdSense account, these quasi bank accounts used by small businesses and individuals(and criminals) as quasi public utility can be opened and closed by decisions of "the team", by unqualified software engineers and ex-engineer managers, completely unmonitored. The web is not a huge advert or scientific experiment anymore, I mean, it hadn't been for a decade or two, but now it's significantly less so.

asahi linux is only needed if you are running on the bare metal. A VM (which abstracts the hardware) means you can run existing ARM64 binaries.

>hosted services shouldn't be allowed to choose the customers they are willing work with is not only wrong,

Cool. So since you do think multi-billion dollar companies should be allowed to deny services to a paying customer, I assume if they deny offering their services to gays or blacks, for instance, you are also fine with that? Like, we shouldn't force corporations to do business with anyone...
> Half the value is getting notifications to your wrist but you have to have corresponding linked apps on both the watch and phone

At least with my experience with Wear OS 3.5 and 4, this isn't the case. You can get notifications from any app and don't need two apps to do so.
We live in a post truth world. That's intentional. Once they can make you lose sight of reality, they can make you do anything.
That last 1% sounds like a godawful lot of work. With this attitude, you can never call something "done", and I deeply hate this notion of "things that are never finished". Like "you are never done learning C++". It implies that everything you do will haunt you for the rest of your life, that everything you do is a liability, and that there is some moral code or obligation to developers to do things because it is convenient to other people.

This, together with the ever-increasing complexity of well, everything, and the increasing number of "things developers should know about X", together with the notion that developers should always work fulltime and learn in their own free time, is non-sustainable.

It's a painful fact that in this "modern" environment, we just can't build anything anymore. There have been three critical vulnerabilities just today (Downfall, TunnelCrack, Inception). If you make a website it's probably hundreds of kilobytes big and you get people whining over accessibility and how it breaks dark mode of version 23.42.23 of their obscure browser.

Have you ever noticed how productive people like Fabrice Bellard just don't care about that stuff? The last procent is just a trap to suck you into the tarpit of spending time on useless shit. Choose a stable target and reasonable feature set, release, and never touch your project again. Bliss.
No, it is not Commodore 64 anymore. It won't feel like one, you can as well run an emulator. I get it, FPGA is more faithful reproduction, than pure software, but it is not a real thing, and will never be.
Thank you very much for your comment. Yes, you understand it very correctly. Creating the account earlier was mainly to explore interesting and valuable content, and I haven't been posting much. ：)
