The process of assigning CVE’s has been comically broken for a while now.

It’s somehow simultaneously possible for it to be both possible for a vendor to block valid CVE assignments, and for people to make up bullshit ones like this.
My position on AI (for future reference)
And while you are right, languages and communications play with nuances like that. It is all about context.
For me the ages are more like <5 is normal, 5-20 is exciting and new, 20-35 is suspicious but I might still try it begrudgingly, and 36+ is nah I’m too for this. I’m in the last group now :)

Although I also remember being 18 and meeting some 70+ year olds that were very adept at using computers/the web and that really impressed me.
Having used both 1-based and 0-based. Even started on 1-based with Matlab. 0-based indexing is my preferred!
Nushell > Fish > ZSH > Bash

I tried a lot of shells and that's what I ended up with.
> The thing that I think was pretty stunning about this article is that it pretty much lays bare that, in some people's eyes, "diversity" is the only goal.

Some people think incorrectly on all topics in wild ways. This article does not(edit) provide evidence that '"diversity" is the only goal' for some people. I am sure you can find people like that, but this article is not good evidence for it or that they that they are a significant force in the work place.
I almost don't care about 'technology' anymore.

Rationally, I appreciate it. But it's best when it disappears and I get my time back to go outside and ride a bike, converse with humans, listen to music. It's a means to an end.
The article is useless. What am I missing, I'll ask again.
Nair's use of "theory" in this paper is highly specific and instrumental. Section 4 covers it.
I don't have a link handy but I know this is big for the veterinary and dentistry industries. Companies are buying up all the clinics.
> I've looked at them several times, and I have quite literally no purpose for it

I have a supernote. I'm glad I have it, it fills a niche for me that has been very beneficial. With that said, I don't think because it works for me that it will be a good tool for everyone. I'll make a bit of a blunt argument, but I hope you take it in good spirit.

If you buy some shiny new toy that you know you don't need then you are a slave to your desires, a slave to marketers. You're taking hard earned money that could be saved, invested, or donated and using it to engage in a useless fantasy of some sort of benefit that you already know to be marginal. Do you want to be the kind of person who does that? Do you want to be someone who mindlessly consumes products just for the sake of consuming products? Tools are a means to an end, don't make them an end in and of themselves.

Also, you already have a workflow. What are the costs of switching from what you know works? Think also of possible unforeseeable downsides. You know the limitations of what you have currently, but you also know /exactly/ what you have. Do you choose the unknown item that will only possibly have marginal benefit or do you stick with what is tried and true, known, and established? Id choose the established option any day of the week.
The world has doctors. You chose a path that added your unique voice to the artistic chorus of our species. I’d almost guarantee that the effects of your work have rippled out there in unknowable ways. Very few artists ever get the chance to see exactly how their work has influenced the world, but pay attention to how the illustrations you see around you impact you. Which ones do you remember from childhood? Even things like logos and magazine covers can have deep personal meaning that anchors people to their humanity.
It is on Swedish road signs indicating a sight/attraction/monument, usually an ancient one.
It is a stylised ribbon/snake pattern that resembles one that you could find on a rune stone. <https://xn--vgmrken-5wac.se/tag/sevardhet/>

A variation of the symbol is also the symbol for the National Heritage Board, which is in charge of protection of ancient monuments.

No idea, what did he do?
I never enjoyed holding a switch. I got the controller grip adapter thing specifically because of how cramped everything feels. I can grip it better but the button layout still sucks. Even the pro controller feels too small and cramped. I enjoy the 360 and PS4/5 controllers a lot because they just fit my hand rather than some rectangle that feels like I'm trying to hold a phablet. I'm sure the switch is fine for kids which makes sense since Nintendo is geared towards the younger demographic.
Don’t use frameworks. Problem solved.
I was hesitant to switch to fish shell, but after seeing so many recommendations on HN, I gave it a shot. Been using it for a while now, and it's mostly good.

The one hiccup is the syntax; it's different from ZSH, so you have to update your existing config. ChatGPT has been pretty useful for that, though.
Genuine question, as someone who got exhausted and is out of the industry for the foreseeable future. How do you stay competitive or job hop when every post is looking for the latest web framework?
They're in it for their own interests. That's almost always the case, but in this case, many of those interests are conflicting. OTOH, it's a good thing that China has some opposition there.
I use yt-dlp primarily not for download, but for playing/streaming Youtube videos directly in media player (mpv) instead of browser.

Does YouTube Premium help with that?
I didnt mean it as primary care sucks so switch in an llm becasue it sucks as much.

But as away to free up doctors from low effort stuff, churn through lines quicker and get people who actually need focused attention the time with a Dr they need.

Maybe your right and nothing is truly low effort
I am glad someone noticed. :-) It is the File Manager icon. I have always liked this icon and the aesthetic of graphics made for Windows 3.x, even though my first Windows was 95 OSR2. Since File Manager and the icon are now free (https://github.com/microsoft/winfile), there is no copyright reason not to use it verbatim.

If you liked it, you may enjoy my page https://dbohdan.com/gui-games.
Someone here.

Great to see this being more widely/deeply described. It looks very capable, interesting choice with onboard Ethernet switch.

Would be so much fun as a games console, but I guess even at this size programming the GPU bare metal will not be very accessible.
If a tobacco company tells you they've done internal research are you going to believe it? When anyone coming from a commercial background tries to do independent research with a reputable university or researchers it's going to take a lot more than 2 months to get them to do it. And if they're truly independent they're not going to be interested in just cooking the numbers to simply match your short-term product launch ambitions. The ultimate goal with such efforts is to pursue consensus - meaning multiple pieces of independent research with varying discussions and outcomes.

These are my experiences: With our product I found several experienced and reputable professors who assisted us. They did not take any money and they did not put their fingers on the scale. Their researchers were paid out of their budgets and we had to stay away from it as much as possible. The research took well over 2 years, and many of the results did not conclusively verify that our product really works. Instead they were broadly insightful on what could be modified our changed about it. Hence the "these things don't take 2 fucking months".

What I really mean is that I think they're full of shit. And they're laying it on pretty thick instead of being honest and humble about what they've got - which is an early stage monthly subscription coaching service/community. In response to questions they're laying it even thicker with even more happy-go-lucky obtuse language.

I find this repulsive because I have ADHD. This presentation can really take advantage of how the condition works. Feelings of community are something we have a tendency to be enamored by in the short-term. On the other hand I got my help in no small part thanks to participating in conversations in places like this one here, so there might be folks with this problem reading these comments. And this is very important - there are psychiatrists, experienced therapists and qualified IRL coaching that you should go to get proper help. It's worth the money. This help is not going to come from (young) people who say they have all the answers along with a business model just 3 months after they've gotten their own diagnosis.
Seems like sorta a middle ground between a bs PE buyout, a roll-up, and a holding company. I think they're hoping the fintech fairy dust is going to give them tech multiples.
> now it feels like untangling wires for hours every day.

At least we've moved past webpack, that was a bundle of wires that couldn't ever be completely untangled.
"force" sounds so dark. Small businesses use all kinds of solutions to run themselves. They want to end up with a product that they can pitch to external businesses, it's more like they are using these acquired businesses as market research and testing.
That FoC episode was my introduction to the show and was completely fantastic. The discussion was interesting, but they also had a lot of fun with the format which I was not expecting.

I’ve been writing all my shell scripts as .fish files for years. They’re just for me and I enjoy the syntax.
That method seems closer to PoW (as is being done by TOR) than attestation.

The strongest privacy guarantee I've heard behind attestation is it would require two parties to collaborate to break it. If Google attests to a Cloudflare protected site, they can determine who you are by cooperating.
I think the claim is that the flatness enabled the dictatorialness. Or at least made it easier.
I'm worried it might be too low as well, but we did a ton of modeling and tried to build in a quantum of safety for unknown unknowns. I expect this will cost more in the future.
Compilation isnt really my issue on linux, is more that I have to go and dig through how to set up the project rather than just use it (like you would from a distro package).

Maybe I have to install some prerequisites, maybe I need to set nonstandard specific environment variables and paths, maybe I need a specific version of a library, maybe I need to edit a make file...

This is fine for a few programs, but the annoyance really adds up when it happens repeatedly.
Fish is pretty good, but I wish it would come with fzf-like capabilities built into it by default, for automatically searching history/files/etc.

Yes I know I can just install fzf and the fzf/fish integrations, I've done so. But my understanding is that the whole point of fish is that it comes well configured by default. fzf is a quantum leap forward for shell UX, this sort of functionality should be built in by default.
I just googled to support my hypothesis and found this: https://www.imd.org/research-knowledge/disruption/articles/w...

"A recent study by McKinsey found that the average life-span of companies listed in Standard & Poor’s 500 was 61 years in 1958. Today, it is less than 18 years. McKinsey believes that, in 2027, 75% of the companies currently quoted on the S&P 500 will have disappeared."

I guess the first obvious takeaway is that Wordpress themselves are likely to not exist long enough to honour this deal. There's also the issue that companies that offer lifetime deals typically only do it when they are extremely cash strapped and it's basically a gamble that the initial influx of money can tide them over until a more stable revenue stream can be found, at which point all those lifetime deals are liabilities that will forever suck the company's profits.

But from the other side, no personal blog is worth preserving longer than your expected lifetime, so this is presumably aimed at companies, especially given the price point. Very few companies will survive for 100 years, so they'll probably never see the benefit of this as the probability of both them AND Wordpress both surviving 100 years is even lower.

Then there's the pricing. Assuming the money could just be invested to break-even against inflation, and so you can consider this as $380 a year, that sounds excessive for a blog hosting platform. It's also more than their "Business" tier. That said, it's actually less than their "Commerce" tier and their "Enterprise" tier is $25000+ per year. I'm guessing they won't allow the latter to transfer to this deal, so it's hard to see who they actually think would even buy this.
What is Suckless philosophy? Gravitating around simplicity more or less?
> Why should I be able to control what someone else knows about me?

The right to privacy is:

- complete sovereignty over oneself, including data about oneself

- control over public knowledge about oneself

In other words: I am my data, my data is me. I own myself.

To deny my fundamental right to privacy is to deny my personhood, to deny my membership in a society of equals.

--

It's corny, but I sometimes liken privacy to the "true name" plot device. In fantasy, knowing a person's "true name" gives one power over them. In sci-fi, the "true name" would be something like a password or root private key.

> They are a return to the magical feeling of computers of the 80s and 90s. It’s a world where Microsoft and Apple never existed and we don’t have to suffer with abstractions on top of abstractions. It’s DOS for the 2020s

Does the author know who wrote DOS? Microsoft and Apple were essencial to the magic of that era of computing.

It’s a genuine question, someone born in the 2000s is 23 now and will have only experienced that age indirectly.
I don't see the point in keeping the marketing material for dead companies. Why would you use resources on that?

As far as history is concerned, a wikipedia page describing the company and it's activities would most likely suffice.
Well the law on the matter really depends on the relative size of your legal team.
E-ink is better for reading than screens.

Paper is better for reading than E-ink.
So which single device do you travel with? I think it's obvious to most people that a phone can't replace a laptop in tons of situations and vice versa.
There's many great things in these laws that, in a vacuum, I'd love to have. Outside of the vacuum, I couldn't care less. The benefits absolutely pale in comparison to letting ghouls whom the mere existence of the Internet offends have any sort of say on anything remotely connected to anything that has even tangential proximity to the Internet. The greater the year and number of laws passed, the clearer it is that the only correct position on this is an absolute one.

If there is a discrepancy between what is legal offline vs. online, and you feel you must correct it, then you can strip down the laws that govern the offline. There, solved. The threshold between governments and privacy on, and control of the Internet has been worn down low enough, and has been for over a decade. The only laws we need that have to do with the Internet are to curtail the power of law enforcement and intelligence agencies. Anything other than that betrays all the things the EU says about privacy and fundamental rights as the marketing bauble it is.

And an EU Commissioner saying "we're bringing our European values into the digital world" should scare people. It's a good time to remind everyone that part of these values is letting the Europol do whatever and then rewriting laws to reatroaticely protect them when they've found to be systematically violating them. And for Ursula specifically, those values are what drove her to try over and over again to curtail online freedoms regardless of having it made clear to her that her ideas are unwanted. The Commissioners might be democratically elected -- if you're willing to take the concept of representative democracy to its 100000000th degree -- but they're undemocratic in spirit.

But sure, lets all focus on protecting ourselves from the fucking ads again.
I got myself a https://paperd.ink: a 4.2″ screen with battery in a printed case for $90. I wrote a small calendar application for it to replace the paper calendar at home: https://suffix.be/blog/eink-calendar
I can hold an iPad in one hand pretty much indefinitely and it’s small enough that is comfortable to use in cramped spaces (like a plane).

Even a 13” laptop is a challenge when flying in coach.
Doing this with a Beagle Bros book in hand in early 80s is how I learned 6502 and made enough spare copies of games to survive the central African climate.

Didn't intend to 'crack', just needed copies to play till they degraded while the original stayed in dry sealed storage.

Today I wonder -- who didn't learn assembly back then by reverse engineering games?
There is also plenty of evidence that lead is very bad but one can be exposed for decades with effects that only show up in epidemiological studies. Asbestos on the other hand is dangerous enough that one unsafe remodeling job has a good chance of giving you cancer.
Unfortunatly it's not only web development, try setting up some microcontroller toolchains. It's all just really tedious, I'm not a professional so maybe the problem is me, but a lot of this tech stuff is just frustrating to work with. Slow unresponsive UI(vscode + platformio) slow startup times(stmCube or arduinoIDE) it's just frustrating sometimes. Whenever I can I try to work with just VIM and install/upload stuff via serial, which is it' own kind of hellish. :)

Many countries do not elect leaders but parlamentarian representants with their own freedom to elect whoever they like. While I do not appreciate the way how the commission is assembled, it is just two election representations away from the people.

The commission has a regular change of both the people in it and the election body (aka the governments). I am not to strong on the definition of dictatorship but typically you have long living single person with malicious intent on top of it. Not the case here.
Content didn’t really follow from the title. It seems like OP wants to minimize unnecessary effort when working towards their goals. I notice it myself in someone who is mid career. I manage the workstation software environment for a group of users, and some of the software versions are a couple of years old because they do the job at hand, everyone knows the UI, etc.

I had an intern over the summer and he “upgraded” a station to the latest of everything, modified the terminal profile with mods, tricked out VIM instead of our pre-existing IDE, and so on. I think maybe one of these changes were actually useful, and the rest broke some dependency in our setup that he had to go fix, or I had to get him to revert when someone else needed to use the station.

We also have a new hire who keeps using the word “Dockerize”, which makes me wary
Is advertising based on things correlated with gender allowed? Since the opt-out would presumably be correlated with gender.

But then if that's allowed, you can claim the AI model is just correlated with gender or whatever and not using the field directly and thus also OK.
With the rise of China, and the technological expertise Russia has always had, a multipolar world is possible in a way it wasn’t 50 years ago. Labor, capital, and technology are available within that bloc, undercutting the effect of any western sanctions. And with the US seeming to be up to its usual tricks, the motivation for inclusion seems to be higher. E.g. Bangladesh applied to the union, though unsuccessfully this round, and given the US recently helped overthrow the popular democratic PM next door, it’s hard to blame them. https://theintercept.com/2023/08/09/imran-khan-pakistan-cyph...
This is pretty strange. The real business model could probably be described in just a few blunt sentences, but without that happening we're left to speculate.

It’s actually not clear at all that erythritol is safe for anyone. That will likely be determined over the next few years but the persistence isn’t great for the use as an artificial primary sweetener vs the small amounts found in fruits:

Also, I was thinking of sucralose, not sorbitol:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37246822/

Technically, you can argue that sucralose-6-acetate is a manufacturing byproduct that is supposed to be totally removed however the testing says it is no, at least for some brands - Likely direct carcinogen.
shameless plug: I'm loving my PostmarketOS powered Kobo and even built a small interface for it: https://github.com/bjesus/air and would highly recommend it to fellow hackers.

I use it pretty much daily for reading, and occasionally for all sorts of hacking fun.
You need a bit more substance than association by guilt (and not even a strong association) to criticize an article or a headline. My reading of e.g. "quietly" is that either they're claiming a scoop, or they're critical of the acquisition, not of bad faith.
At least now && works. It used to not be the case and required you to type ";and" which was incredibly annoying as you had to modify basically every single command that you found online or that people sent you.

Now that && works, I don't have any big conplaints about it anymore.

I don't think this is really true. Its just that that the tech world has plateaued and been generally commoditized and boring. I've noticed over the last 10 years not much has changed. Tech used to have stuff you never saw or features that did not exist or solved some pain point you had.

Now next 13 adds new route handling and API fetch changes for its major release, its not exciting. (I don't use nextjs so forgive my generalization on the new features.)
A browser add in that replaces article titles with a factual summary based on the content of the articles would be pretty neat.
