What is funny is that macOS 9 was so snappy on the GUI side but you had to start employing RAM disks and given different names to the same application to run them simultaneously. It could really scoot but occasionally a dialog box might bring everything to a halt until hitting OK or Cancel.

Be careful what you wish for. The existence of places like Los Angeles, itself, effectively exist because of these same water rights.

Why do you think LA is allowed to just pump an entire major river all the way from near Mammoth Lakes to the coast? Out of the goodness of the folks on the Owen's River's hearts? Fuck no. Los Angeles lied, cheated, and stole to get those water rights, and if you think Los Angeles isn't going to have to pay through the nose if we reset water rights, you're sorely mistaken.

You look at the history of water in the American West, and you'll see that everyone has done everything wrong since the 1920's, when water rights were designed to prevent migration west. Then you'll understand why this mess is much, much bigger than we can imagine.
As long as there was nothing deceitful, I don't see the issue. You were told the specs and the price up front and received what was advertised. And like you say, you get the added benefit of being able to change your mind later for no additional cost or hassle.

No it's the death of the corporate content hosting web - the open web was never about making money with your blog post/irc chat/usenet group/etc content, at least in my opinion.

Let data be free! If someone wants to use it to make money, well, it's open, just like open source. It's still not okay to take open source work and claim it as your own, which is what copyright should be limited to. Stealing a photo or plagiarizing an essay is intrinsically different than just having a copy read by something, be it human or an mechanical process such as training a LLM.
Plausible.

However, I would say that a related, more general, and more disturbing hypothesis (in the "big picture") is more plausible:

Musk is all-in with China, Saudi Arabia, etc. For various reasons - access to markets, financing, etc. Some of those who left Twitter shortly after the bad deal he made was force-consummated, suggested that it might be far less safe for, say, Saudi dissidents to use the platform than it was prior to his takeover (and, there were "incidents" and indications of incidents before he took over, already).

I'd suggest that he has some general directive(s) in place for what to do about certain kinds of potentially sensitive tweets. His claims about "free speech absolutism" are interesting, in the use of the word absolute (think "L'État, c'est moi") and subsequent statements about "following the law" and the resultant behavior.

And, of course, his little trolincel fans are the perfect little army of toadies for these kinds of totalitarian governments... just waiting to denounce any "enemies of the people" (i.e., flag tweets so they may be passed on to House of Saud, CPC [CCP], etc.).

Edit: It's easy to see that this makes all of the craziness we've witnessed with Twitter, since the takeover, look less crazy. With this as a backdrop. That is: the bad deal is already done, but, some of the rationale and goals can still be salvaged.

So, come in, get rid of anyone with a conscience, more experienced, more independent. Have NDAs in place (par for the course already, at "MuskInc", good cover), and a set of foreign indentured servants. The environment is perfectly transformed to extract THIS kind of value from the whole clusterfck. Plus, Elon gets to build his mythos further in multiple ways, including fostering further disgust in "his enemies". And, if / when it all crashes down, well, at least we disrupted all those communities, independent journalist-types, etc.
The blog starts out with mentioning other reduce operations in Python: 'prod from the math module; min; max; any; all; and "".join'. In APL those are:

×/ product reduce
⌊/ min reduce
⌈/ max reduce
∨/ logical OR reduce (any bool set)
∧/ logical AND reduce (all bools set)
,/ catenate reduce (join without spaces)

These all show a pattern of connection clearly where the Python names don't, that they are related operations; that suggests that you could put any function on the left or any kind of array on the right and see what happens. And they work over multidimensional arrays - and you can swap / for ⌿ to reduce down columns instead of accross the rows.

Your rewritten Python and JS, by showing the operation as length instead of sum, and making a shorter filtered list, hide the connection even further instead of helping to reveal and clarify it.

> "which I feel is more readable (but less efficient) than the APL inspired approach"

I know how to read it, but just look at:

age age ages age

len age for age in ages if age

what's readable about so much repetition, what's readable bout having to spot the single character plural change in the middle of 8 short words?

([>])

that's more symbols than the APL one has, the language people reject because of the heavy use of symbols(!). Why does the [] indicate loopy-listy code but so does 'for'? In PowerShell arrays have a property .Count to use instead of Length - what's readable about counting the number of ages by indirectly looking at the length of something? Is this "it's readable because I'm familiar with it" rather than "because it's objectively readable"?
Where did the idea that God is in the sky come from? I'm sincere because as a Hindu, God is unmanifest and immanent - existing in everything, i.e. God isn't just somewhere "up there" so it is weird how often I hear about Abrahamic religion referring to God in the sky. However I wonder if that is even accurate.

All of your examples are situations where violence has already occurred, not preemptive.

Russia attacked Ukraine. The slave is a victim of violence.

Your argument doesn't even make sense in a situation where violence hasn't occurred.
The most 'amusing' fact here is what a country with 1.3M army doesn't even have any hostile nation at it's borders, so it's forced to literally go to other side of the planet to fight with anyone.
But none of those things are guaranteed, and *none of those things are violence directed against you.

Jpa ID’s can be any serializable with a matching column type. If you’re going down to the JDBI level or doing jooq to get at your data, there’s a problem. I’ve found most of my issues with Jpa and Hibernate specifically are due to relationships and my table design. Sometimes just having the foreignkey and not the full relationship is the answer, sometimes writing a custom @Query is, but never has going down to the jdbc level been pleasurable. Even looking at your example above, it’s something I would flag in a code review as being not novel and not trivial and therefore complicates the code base unnecessarily. SynchronizedQuery can be simplified with the synchronized keyword in modern Java on the interface method of your repository.

For a really large spring project with hundreds of tables, we abandoned entity relationships outside of FK’s and instead did our joins in @Query’s, named queries (views essentially), services (to join repositories) and some components to share cached results in-memory, across nodes. What kind of ID were you trying to use and did you create a generator for it? IdentifierGenerator interface
Maybe it’s the author’s second language, but they lost me when they likened an electrolyzer to a resistor. They have little in common.

If this is the "minimum", I'd love to see what they left off the list.

My minimum for a public-facing MVP:

- All services use HTTPS to talk to users and each other.

- High standard of password encryption (or prefer to use something like Cognito or Firebase).

- Plan for GDPR compliance (not exactly security related, but in the wheelhouse. The GDPR grifters come out of the woodwork quickly, so you need all the popups and account deletion stuff from day 1 if you are releasing to the EU).

- QA specifically for security: users can't access each other files, authentication controls work, etc.

- Don't store or handle credit cards - use a vendor like Stripe.

- Ensure all dev tools enforce 2FA where possible (GitHub, AWS, etc.).

- A basic backup system.

Then post-MVP, start working on the following:

- centralised logging.

- dependency patching plan.

- etc

Electrolysis is being performed on an industrial scale already.

Its only serious difficulty is inefficiency, but when the power is free (i.e. renewable production in excess of immediate demand) inefficiency is just a yield problem. Anyway efficiency in excess of 80% has been demonstrated. The key seems to be keeping the product gases from clustering around the electrodes, crowding out the water feedstock. So, pores too small for O2.

As a limit on efficiency, energy lost when the O becomes O2 may be hard to recover. There seems reasonable hope of both H in the H2 coming from the same H2O, given a catalytic electrode surface.

Every large producer of power from renewables will be synthesizing H2 or NH3 for sale during periods of overproduction, regardless of what other storage and backup methods they rely on. The market for those materials will prove unlimited, and tankage and shipping are dirt cheap. Shipping, BTW, is gearing up to transition to LNH3 fuel.
No, this is just censorship. The government showed up and told her to stop saying stuff, so she did. The problem is that the word has been diluted in contemporary usage. Almost everything that people call "censorship" in the discourse mostly amounts to "People disagree with me and I don't liek that", or occasionally "I got banned on <service A> so I'm yelling about it on <service B>".

This is what actual censorship looks like.

I've noticed the same recurring debates centred around the existence and severity of AI risks. I'd like to see more discussions that start with the assumption that risks are significant so that we could have a debate on what might be done to mitigate risks.
I one time saw a talk where they discussed the issue of having to make sure the mouse was in the same location on logout and login for his home slab and later dell laptop.

NeXT rendering engine was display postscript and they had a common set-up of rendering the DPS on a remote computer while logged in over a network.
The overall set-up meant that all the data was at headquarters and users could login in from any location and have a local DPS rendering of the centralized user account.
Yes, but if doing so substantially adversely impacts the value of existing property, they should at least expect litigation against it as a regulatory taking if they aren't compensating for the calie of that impact.
That's the really disturbing part of all this. As a user you can take reasonable steps to ensure that you're not vulnerable - switch your bluetooth off but your device straight up lies to you saying it's off while it's leaking data and making you vulnerable.
Ask HN: Connection Hijacking and Redirection
Hi all.

I've had an issue that's happened at least three times over the span of around two years where if I'm directly connected to my ISP without any VPN's, when I open a new tab in Firefox and type a website's address, there is a connection redirect that brings me to some inflammatory/crude types of sites that have nothing to do with what I'm working on at that moment. I've also seen sites that I visit return a HTTP version instead of HTTPS. Could this part be SSL Stripping?

I'm using my own hardware and not using the ISP's DNS servers. The system's these attacks have happened on are Linux and MacOS. I have performed virus and vulnerability scans, scanned the particular internal network and made sure nothing is public facing, have network monitors, and have HIDS and a SIEM solution setup for those systems as well. None of these measures have alerted me to anything suspicious.

This is a large ISP. The way I assume the attack is being done is my router is getting poisoned routes from the ISP when it requests a website. What I can't figure out is the DNS servers are not owned by the ISP or even in the same country.

I'm asking if the community here could please point me in the right direction to figure out how to pinpoint and stop these attacks, thanks.

Most of the time I'd agree with you. But this is the Engadget. They're just too successful/savvy and established for this particular instance not to be deliberate.

There is a lot of truth in much of what you said, but headlines specifically aren't really a product of the newsgathering process. They're kind of a microcosm of journalism and treated completely differently than the rest of the article for a variety of reasons, historical and modern.

More to the point, in the admittedly small number of newsrooms I've been in, the headlines were hand crafted by fairly senior editors.

In any case, the truth is probably somewhere between disingenuous and negligent, but the outcome is the same: more traffic.

Optimize the Expensive First
Firebaser here:

- Sorry your payments has stopped working but it has nothing to do with an extension being deprecated or not. Extensions are copied and deployed into your own projects so new versions or deprecations won't affect running applications (that's the beauty of Extensions). Also happy to help with your issue if you file a bug.

- Stripe extension is not owned by Firebase/Google. We own the platform, but the publishers own the extension. It's like blaming Apple/Google for Twitter renaming their app to X.

- Stripe extension is not killed nor deprecated. Invertase was trusted by Stripe to do a better job of evolving the extension so now they own the extension end-to-end. We at Firebase helped this collab happen if anything.

- Even if an extension were to be deprecated, we've made sure they're all open source and you can fork off the latest version and develop future versions yourself. With a 3P platform there's always this risk and we made sure there's a break-glass solution for our devs.
HN is getting less tolerant I think. I understand why political stuff gets flagged but it seems to happen more commonly when it's just something the usual crowd doesn't agree with.
That's a very good approach also when you want to preserve anonymity. Writing idiosyncrasies can be used to distictely fingerprint us (with enough effort), llm's could in theory enhance anonymity as long as we can run these things locally on cheap hardware.
The problem is absolutely the laws of those countries. Arguing "but you allow X" will just get X also banned, not make them see the light that the law is unjust.

Rhetoric 101, things need to be arranged in the proper order to make the most impact on the recipient. Saying "this is the single largest technology roll-out" followed by a bit of DIY on the kitchen table does rather fall flat.

Primitive primate dynamics and manipulations have been on obvious display in all offices I have ever been in. An encounter with one particular individual was the main reason that I went remote over a decade ago.

He was another contractor brought on at the same time as me. From the beginning he seemed to have identified me as a competitor or something. Maybe he sensed my doubt when he described his background as being in rodeo clowning and being a television news personality before learning C++ (it was a C# job).

He immediately took the opportunity to explicitly cast doubt on my skills with the other new coworker after I had spoken about one sentence. I believe he then must have gone behind my back to denigrate me with the boss on at least one occasion.

I did not see or hear anything about him writing code until several weeks after hiring. It seemed as though he was trying to set the record on the number of namespace parts in their framework, which were all repeated entirely on every line. I may not be remembering this right but I think he was actually double-spacing his code. Not like separated into logical blocks, just double spaced.

One day, he deliberately provoked me into a shouting match that got me fired. Someone had asked something about my code, which I started answering, and he was standing nearby and suddenly said something like "I'll handle this. _Why can't you just admit that you made another mistake?_" (or something like that) very loudly. No one was asking me about a mistake or anything. I don't remember but there might have been some aspect of the code that could use improvement that I was explaining as an aside. But whatever it was, his response did not make sense except as a provocation and manipulation. It did in fact enrage me and cause me to initiate the shouting.

I could not stand him because he did little to no useful work that I could see, spent most of his time "mentoring" one of the attractive young female new hires. The boss liked him because he lived on a boat and presented himself as upper class.

Not sure what you mean by html components. That's kind of missing the point of HTMX, no? Most backend frameworks like Django or templating engines like Jinja2 have the concept of blocks or fragments so its easy to render out component pieces to send back to the frontend.
