FUSE is used to present a file system interface of something that isn’t a file system. E.g. present an LDAP directory as a file system.

Writing FUSE drivers is pretty frustrating, though, and not well supported by all OSs.

My takeaway is that this project discards FUSE in favour of making an NFS server that can be easily extended to do the same thing: present non-file system systems as mountable nfs remote file systems.

It’s a neat idea, and does avoid any extra kernel drivers, etc. A safer abstraction at the cost of adding a network stack and NFS’s sometimes wonky effects (especially with hard mounts).

The good news is that if you're willing to take a 2x slowdown for asymmetric encryption (which basically everyone is) you can get the best of both worlds by wrapping your quantum resistant crypto in regular crypto.
> iCloud locks or Samsung's KNOX lock entered the field because the manufacturers were pretty pissed that customers using their devices in public became a target for "enterprising" robbers who'd factory-wipe the devices and flip them to a pawn shop or second-hand store in a matter of half an hour.

It wasn't just the manufacturers who were pretty pissed at that. Minnesota passed a law requiring smartphones to have a kill switch that would allow the owner to remotely render the phone inoperable [1]. Then California did, with the California law also making kill switch support be turned on by default. Those laws have been in effect since mid 2015 and were quickly followed by a huge drop in smartphone thefts.

Which is why you fake your data into looking successful, and you don’t even go through the effort of publishing the failed studies (leading to its own additional problems in understanding what’s true and what we know)
You say this as if "addictive" and "harmful" are boolean concepts. These concepts have a wide spectrum in reality. People die every day from addictions to all kinds of socially acceptable products and services, whether it be the dopamine rush from an unhealthy or dangerous activity, a buzz from their favorite beverage, or the sugar rush from an unhealthy snack.
Hence why you should not use bank/brokerage websites or apps on phone other than maybe a checking account with a small amount of money in it.
I think there is a huge difference between mapping over to easier phonetics/phonotactics or common names in the native language, and "hey shithead". The attitude isn't great, but Alok->Alex checks out.

In Italy I'd be Michele, in Japan, I'd be Maikeru/マイケル, in Ukraine I'd probably be Mykhaylo/Михайло.
> Yeah the profit margins will be smaller per phone but they will just steal more.

The risk of getting caught scales with that increased volume. The extra friction of parting out a phone for less money compared to selling the whole phone beggars belief that "stealing more" is the most common response.

"iPhone theft getting less profitable raises the rate of theft" just doesn't make sense.
In the last link, the user explains in the comments that when they marked the device as stolen, they could choose some text to display on the screen and they chose to include a phone number that they had access to.

Plenty of people hope for a good samaritan interaction and will do something like that.

also idk if they ever changed it, but a long time ago I found a phone that was locked and no identifying information shown. I asked siri to call 'my' mother and she arranged a pickup.
Ask HN: Is EdTech a Good Bet for Venture Capital?
So, I've been messing around in EdTech for like 3 years now, both as a user and as a startup founder.

Using MOOCs and CBCs, I've seen how they can cut the cost of sharing educational stuff big time. But that doesn't mean people are actually learning more because of it.

I get that it's not a simple issue. There's a ton of factors in the mix. But I haven't seen an education company yet that's really blown up in size while actually making good on its promise to help students learn.

Take Duolingo for example. I think they cracked the code on the whole lack of motivation and discipline thing for some users, thanks to gamification. But just because you've got a "streak" going doesn't mean you're actually learning anything.

So yeah, just throwing some thoughts out there. I'm really into the whole education space and I've still got a lot to learn. But it makes me wonder: should EdTech even be trying to shoot for Unicorn status?
You seem hellbent convinced that bad connections don't matter if you can't personally see them. Consider that if you're here in a community full of some of the geekiest people to ever roam the planet and you have a wave of people telling you there's a problem, that there's probably hundreds of thousands of folks suffering in silence that you'll never hear from - maybe because their connection is throttled or high-ping or some other calamity.
Anyone know how this will impact loop performance?
This. All of this spying, not even being used for security ever, ie their goal might as well be general insecurity. It feels like their goal is the stability of the social layers, no or rare promotion, and maximum impermeability for the masses.

I guess these are used as a soft mount, considering that if you terminate the application or it crashes a hard mount would just hang indefinitely. That's probably fine for a read-only snapshot, most problems with soft mounts are around writes.

The baffling thing is that the new monetization scheme seems especially designed to destroy the freemium/mobile market, which is exactly the market they've been so actively courting the last few years.

If you told me that Unity was going to try and monetize through some strange approach, I would have guessed that the scheme would have favored the freemium approach, not turned it into an extremely risky gamble.

The rule of law made it so you cannot run kangaroo courts when you just personally believe someone is guilty.

One small step for Musk. One giant leap toward irrelevance for X.
That makes sense, except the numbers may not match what people have/are willing to risk on their employer. $31m divided 500 ways (guessing @ staff size) is $62k each. That's a big bet in one place, and one that is likely to be out of reach for some staff.

You will have to throw away almost all of your code for NFSv4, it's a completely different protocol. One of the advantages of 4.x is that you don't need the portmapper or mount protocols, you just need to know the hostname/port of the server.
Universities can't do that, because they lack the expertise. Most of the time, the only people in a university capable of judging a study are the people who did it.

That's because universities are in the business of teaching. Apart from a few rare exceptions, universities don't have the money to hire redundant people. Instead of hiring many experts in the same topic, they prefer hiring a wider range of expertise, in order to provide better learning opportunities for the students.

I guess for something a bit more catch-all like "Rolling Stone" Ads would detract.

But for something like USA Hockey, honestly the Ads are more interesting than half the actual content. Although seeing the same 4 ads for home skating rinks has gotten old.

Although I guess this would be more akin to searching Google for "new hockey products" and then it would make a lot of sense to return pure ads.
This is misguided. Just like visiting a site consumes resources on their server, visiting a site consumes resources on my system, in fact, if I don't block ads it consumes even more resources. In many cases I would argue that fetching and rendering the whole flashing shebang of ad garbage some sites ship these days consumes considerably more resources than simply serving the files on a server.

Show HN: Lies of P is a well made Souls type_game but

I've written a tiny bit of Go and am aware of the general problem this solves. I don't get their more subtle examples (the letsencrypt one or "range c.informerMap" vs "range alarms".

When you do "for k, v := range someMap", is "v" of the map's value type (and one binding for the whole loop, copied before each iteration)? This would explain the problem, but I would have expected "v" to be a reference into the map, and I couldn't find the answer in a quick skim of the "For statements with range clause" in the spec. I'm probably looking in the wrong place because I touch Go rarely...

[1] https://go.dev/ref/spec#For_statements

edit: oh, the answer is in the "code block"-formatted table. Guess I had banner blindness. "v" is the copied value, not a reference. I'm surprised!
I don't think that's skeptical.

I do think there is an even worse issue - which is funding. The money incentive means you can fund studies that support whatever you want.
I was curious, so I looked up arc in the PostScript Language Reference [1]. It contains the following (p. 530):

> The arc is represented internally by one or more cubic Bézier curves (see curveto) approximating the required shape. This is done with sufficient accuracy to produce a faithful rendition of the required arc. However, a program that reads the constructed path using pathforall will encounter curveto segments where arcs were specified originally.

It's not Facebook's fault, they're just following the law. The issue, if anything, is that in Canada you don't have the legal right to freely express yourself online and Facebook is legally allowed to censor your content. So obviously Facebook are going to have no problem with doing that if the Indian government are telling them to. The mistake of allowing private companies to have the right censor legal content (for whatever reason) is the mistake here.

Imo there's little difference in what Facebook is doing here with what they did when they removed Jan 6th posts. Hardeep Singh Nijjar was trying using his political influence to overthrow the Indian government by supporting extremist groups within India. Obviously unless you pass laws to protect freedom of speech Facebook isn't going to allow posts supporting this kind of behaviour on their platform – even if in this case a lot of people in the West agree with the extremists.

I'll also note that we don't even know if Hardeep Singh Nijjar was assassinated yet. This for the time being ranges from likely to a conspiracy theory depending on which governments and media sources you trust.
Well, the account is clearly not banned given that it still actively posts messages. It may be that the account is shadowbanned but I have been told by a reliable source - Dang - that HN does not employ shadowbanning. This is why I am surprised to see how anything posted by this user seems to be dead on or close to arrival.

I can only assume that HN does indeed employ shadowbanning and that my information on that front is incorrect.
FWIW, I used to enjoy ads on Google's search page (or at least weren't bothered by them), but importantly, when they were clearly identified by (a) a yellow background, with at most one or two entries at the top, and (b) an unobtrusive sidebar (random example I found online, https://www.avidlyagency.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/searc...).

What I despise now is that for most remotely-commercial searches every entry above the fold is an ad, and it's barely marked with a tiny "ad" box (otherwise the visual treatment is the same as organic results). I especially hate it when I search for a particular branded item, and the first 5 results I get back are competitors' ads, in addition to an ad from the brand because they have to pay "the Google tax".
Pretty intuitive. I love the idea behind nudging towards the answer while making the user actually select it themselves.
Ths problem isn't rounding the final result. The problem is that the source data itself can't be accurately represented.

You make some interesting, and good points; and that's perhaps reason to give some credence to the accusation.

Bitcoin is already quantum attack resistant, unless you use un-hashed public keys or reuse Bitcoin addresses (as some do).

If Bitcoin would become vulnerable, its value would collapse to zero overnight once it's known. There is limited amount of money anyone could extract before the value collapses.

Because who then pays for the content? Time and time again, the average person has shown that they will rather spend X times more on a trivial thing than content.

This is more acute on hard news. Where a single page article may cost 100k to produce, yet wont be able to be monetized per its "cost to produce".

So yes, it would be a disappointment to lose "great content". now, here lies in the kicker. You get to decide great content with your patronage ( or lack there of)
That wouldn't fix anything at all. You still get that PhD to do research and publish. The only fix for this is funded and career-advancing randomized replication. We should lean harder into the scientific method, not withdraw from it. Absolutely nothing else will work.
I’ve been talking about it for a while - try searching for any industry metrics, research into topics, trends reports etc, it’s impossible. Unless I know the exact title of an article, even though I remember concrete things about an article I read and try to use them in a search it returns nothing useful.

Elon Musk openly replying to FSD users stating the car drives itself just a few months ago.

Also the promotional video was faked and staged. Ashok Elluswamy, the current head of Autopilot software, stated in a deposition under oath that he was personally involved in faking and staging the demo. During at least one of the test runs it ran off the road into a fence. They still wrote: “The driver is only there for legal reasons.” despite that.
Russ Cox and the Go team learned that the loop variable capture semantics are flawed not by reflecting about how their language works, but through user feedback.

This could have been prevented by having one person on the team with actual language design experience, who could point this issue out in the design process.

In this case, after 10 or so years, and thousands of production bugs, they backpedaled. How many other badly designed features exist in the language, and are simply not being acknowledged?

If you point it out, and you're right, will you be heard if you don't have a flashy metric to point to, like a billion dollars lost?

What if the flaw is more subtle, and explaining why it's bad is harder than in this very simple case, that can be illustrated with 5 lines of code? What if the link between it and its consequences isn't that clear, but the consequences are just as grave? Will it ever get fixed?

It's primarily headless CMS but you can push it beyond that into any CRUD app.

You get:

- PostgreSQL db with quite sensible schema, indexes, keys etc

- You build your models and relations in UI but they get checked out as yaml files into git

- Admin UI

- standard REST and GraphQL endpoints out of the box

- OAuth connectors

- Easy overrides / customization with typescript through multiple layers (controllers, services, orm)

- Fully opensource

- Easy deployment

- Community plugins

If you want to eject, you have good db layout so you can move functionality to another system if you outgrow it. No vendor lockin.
