Yes, it's often very, very, very hard to introduce new evidence of your innocence after trial. Trial is the point that you show all available evidence to the jury.

In Illinois you can attempt to present your evidence only after you have exhausted all of your regular appeal routes (appellate court, state supreme court, SCOTUS, state habeas corpus, fed habeas -- there are 11 levels here first) which can take a decade. Then you have to petition the court. But you have to do it yourself, you don't get a lawyer to help you at the first stage. So if you have no idea what you're doing (and certainly a prison is going to do whatever they can to impede you in this by restricting your access to any instructions or legal materials), then you just have to suck it up and take the needle.

In fact, I don't think enough emphasis is put on the fact that these people are generally fighting their cases from prison and it is 1000X harder to do from inside than outside. They have no access to a phone directory to try to call anyone. They might not have any money to make calls. The prison might only give them one free letter a week. And then you need an address to write to - where do you get that? A phone call is probably limited to 20 mins, and if you call and the other person misses it, you can't call back to a prison.

And don't get me started on legal materials in prison. If you are lucky enough where you can actually get to a library (all prison law libraries shut during COVID and many have never reopened) you'll rarely see a computer. Often it is just piles of moldy books. And of course the previous person didn't want to risk the chance they would ever get back to the library, so at the very least they have torn out all the pages they need from the book you wanted to read, or worse, have straight up stolen the book.

And we're not taking into account how much energy is required to fight the system and how exhausting it is for an inmate. It is mentally unbelievable to do all this work locked up. You have to do everything on paper with a pencil too at most places. Copying out huge citations and writing huge motions. Then you have to perhaps write them out another 19 times because that's how many copies the court requires by law and you don't have access to a photocopier. Plus everyone around you at the prison is just running buck wild, screaming, shouting, fighting, gambling. It's no fun.

And these lawyers fighting for death row inmates are awesome, amazing, unbelievable people, but there are very, very few of them. And only death row cases get any real traction. The innocent people who are convicted and get life without parole don't get noticed. The innocent people who get 80 years without parole are way down the list, even though it is a de facto life sentence.

I'm helping a guy now who is inside on a life-without-parole case. No lawyer has stepped up to help him out. I'm trying to help him find a lawyer. I've just been helping a guy reconnect to modern life after getting out from a 40 year sentence for a crime he didn't do.
A similar quirk of the registry API is that it has a simplified set of methods that don't specify the data type of the value, so you can have an application that expects to read a null terminated string value, but substitute a binary value with no null termination. If the app doesn't handle that right, it's buffer overrun time.

Usually that's foot-shooting, but sometimes you can do that in HKCU as a low privileged user to a value that gets read by a higher privileged process and causes it to "misbehave".

Sounds like a good business opportunity if physical security issues can be mitigated.
The difference is that with communism a natural human desire is punished, while in capitalism it gets rewarded. I mean a desire to do a good for himself, and only himself, ignoring the needs of the others. Maybe we don't like it as the society, but that's the people's nature.

It seems that it's more effective to leverage this natural desire (as in capitalism) rather that punish it (as in communism). The important part is "natural", i.e., people are born with it, as well as animals, and you cannot prevent it. That's not a minority at all. So the only way for communism is to constantly fight it on a great scale, which is possibly with turning into a authoritarian government.
This is really sad because the Sikh religion is one of the most enlightened and peaceful believe systems on the planet. I'm am not a Sikh, but someone interested in frameworks that humans use to cope with life.
I don't know the setup at your graduating university, but I am aware of some universities who are just now starting to rethink "lifetime" alumni email. They are using email service provided by Big Tech and the reason is simple: Big Tech is starting to charge more for these email accounts and once that starts happening (which it is), the universities can't afford to offer many thousands of alumni email accounts anymore. For those universities that have gone with an authentication vendor (including two-factor providers), the costs are increasing for that too.
SSH isn't a solution. I'm trying to edit text here on my phone, not out on some server.

No, the aforementioned users do not need to write lots of text on mobile devices - a professional writer will choose or adapt their devices and environment to best suit the needs of their writing work, not adapt their writing to better suit the limitations of the devices; instead it's all the "casual" users who need to make do with whatever device they have on hand even if that device was optimized for entirely different needs.

Anything actually hacker related generally gets the full support of everyone, and are usually the best threads with tons of interesting comments and supportive sentiment. It's all the nonsense that people are sick of and just want to knock down. Indie hacker stuff tends to fall into that category as the vast majority of it is just glorified marketing email lists and job boards being promoted through astroturfing.
This is all nice and all, but it still does not solve the geometric robustness problem that haunts so many 3d modeling software packages.

I think some people might be wary of the std::filesystem APIs because the standard allows implementations to completely disregard TOCTOU issues internally, to the point of breaking memory safety [0]:

> A file system race is the condition that occurs when multiple threads, processes, or computers interleave access and modification of the same object within a file system. Behavior is undefined if calls to functions provided by subclause [filesystems] introduce a file system race.

It's not just implementation-defined behavior, but full UB! You're utterly at the mercy of your implementation to do something reasonable when it encounters a TOCTOU issue, or, for that matter, any kind of concurrent modification to a file or directory. And C++ has a long history of implementations being unreliable in their behavior when UB is encountered.

I think I read on another hacker news post that some windows API where intentionally made convoluted/hard to work with AND poorly documented in the official documentation. So that the API author's could go off and write a "win32 explained" book, and become fabulously wealthy.

Not exactly, because we don’t experience people’s big five, we experience a personality. You can argue that personality isn’t a real thing, and that differences can be reduced to five traits but have you ever wondered why five? Why not one? Personality as we experience it is something closer to mbti, but that also boils down to traits and isn’t very reliable. Personality doesn’t really change, but mbti does.

People who downplay personality, social psychologists, will point to numerous studies where behavior is determined by social forces or external circumstances alone. There’s not a lot of experimental evidence that people differ from one another, despite our entire legal/ethical system holding that as a fundamental truth. From an empirical perspective is looks like determinism is, if not in the lead, having a good run at the moment.

Torrenting definitely is possible. But based on my own experiences I would definitely not call it convenient. Still very useful though, since there are lots of older movies that are not available on streaming (especially for us living outside of the US).
I actually think that progressive <-> conservative political axis isn't a meaningful one in the current climate, and that the more operative axis is the libertarian <-> authoritarian. Importantly, there can be every combination of these four points on the political compass. I.e. there are authoritarian conservatives, and libertarian progressives; but there are also authoritarian progressives and libertarian conservatives.
I went from working on one side project to now 3 or 4. Not a ton but like you wanted to figure out hosting. This is my hosting setup that has worked well for me.

- All project frontends are built on SvelteKit. This could Next, Remix or any framework really. This allows me to serve it on Cloudflare Pages for free.
- All the app logic for my projects use one REST API service. This is hosted on Digital Ocean.
- The DB for my API is also hosted on a Managed MySQL service from Digital Ocean. I could setup my own droplet but I wanted one less thing to manage. I'm looking to move this to Cloudflare D1 once it's available for public usage.
- All my images are hosted on Cloudflare R2. This is great because it connects to Cloudflare's DNS and makes it a simple step to add a custom domain.

Interesting, I'd love to see a link to that if you know of it. Here's the original paper: https://aclanthology.org/2023.findings-acl.426.pdf In my own work I've successfully classified emergent behavior in Cellular Automata using a similar technique, and the technique has also been used elsewhere with success: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-12826-w
Does it have to punish? At some scale yes maybe. But if the state tried to automate many of the essentials, it might be able to provide basics (food shelter sanitation) at extremely low marginal cost.

Ideally the planned state leaves room for art and culture. Who how and where the state supports creative endeavors is an open question. I'd ask similarly for open source. Ideally the state provides some spare capacity for individual development, that people can establish themselves with & start getting rewarded for.

Overall I see such a starkly different view. Coersion into behaviors & punishment seems low on my list of concerns for non-authoritarian communism.
This is what folding phones are great for. The extra space is great for multitasking, reading spreadsheets, viewing calendars, reading documents, etc.

They don't really help with writing or editing text, unless you have big hands and need a larger keyboard. Most of the difficulty with text editing are related to the cursor, as the article points out, and a bigger screen doesn't really help. I suppose the extra real estate can be used for a docked or floating menu.
To me the article reads as if it was originally targeted at his colleagues at google who told him they weren't going to implement his ideas.
AWS Lambda doesn't support IPv6 in VPCs.

This means that everything else in your VPC has to be dual stack if the lambdas talk to them.

AWS Lambdas don't actually run in your VPC, there is an ENI that is exposed to your VPC that belongs to the VPC-equivalent in the Lambda space.

If you have to run dual-stack just to accomodate lambdas, then you may as well run IPv4 anyway.
I don't see how that changes the problem that OP describes.

TS module resolution looks almost like ESM, but neither the syntax nor the semantics are the same.

And or course you need a compiler to transpile TS, even if you wish to ignore the typings (often wrapped in a bundler like Vite which in turn wraps swc or ESBuild... because tsc is not as practical for large projects)

Really, having dealt with this kind of problem on Friday, it can make you go crazy.

E.g. having to deal with CJS-specific settings for some tool in a project using TS and exporting to ESM JS...
Now im really curious what parts of this people disagree with?
I don't get it either. The "upgrade every two years" cadence is just pure marketing nonsense at this point when it comes to iOS devices. Given long software support lifespans and battery replacements every few years, you can comfortably hold onto an iOS device for 4 to 7 years after initial release.
It’s more like Ed Sheeran giving away free copies of his album rather than free live performances.
these days I just download media from the site directly. I wrote my first Widevine implementation last year, and its pretty impressive what you can get with just an L3 CDM.

This is exactly the "censorship" the right obsesses about. Not the real kind, as in the examples you cited. What they want is the ability to make any claim they want with zero support, and when asked for any "turn the tables" by putting the entire burden on their interlocutor - who might, as in this case, have met it already. They call denial of that "censorship" even if it very much isn't. That's just giving zero credence to zero proof or effort. They need periodic reminders that the right to speak freely does not include the right to be heard, believed, or even taken seriously. It's only censorship when you can't speak even on your own platform.
You can disable autocorrect, but then you have also disabled swipe texting, which is much faster.

Indeed, the duopoly tends to become attached to social divisions, and you could choose any of those divisions to label the parties:

Liberal vs conservative

Secular vs religious

Governance vs identity politics

The list goes on and on. In an odd historical analogy, the electric charges were originally assigned "negative" and "positive" according to what happened when they were combined, with no hypothesis as to the underlying cause.

From my experience doctors do a lot of guessing. I spent two years, going through multiple doctors, for serious groin and abdominal pain that I knew had to be a hernia. But the doctors consistently tested and theorized about it being just about anything else. Ten thousand dollars worth of out of pocket tests later a urologist told me it was obviously a hernia and he could feel it.
Just to be clear, the problem here isn’t entering text, but with editing it. With better keyboards, voice transcription, and physical keyboards on many tablets, getting text into a device is not the problem it used to be. However, you will always want to edit your words afterwards.

So why use the web client instead of a proper desktop one?
And then because on screen keyboards suck so bad we had to make phones BIGGER which meant they needed to be THINNER which meant cameras needed to stick out, and here we are, in a world where an iPhone Pro Max takes up the full height of my jeans pocket and digs into my hip when I sit down. Yeyyy.

Now, you see it at the airport with 3 different levels (regular TSA/precheck/clear), based on how much you pay.

You see it at theme parks like Disney world / six flags, and even there, there are multiple levels of priority you can buy.

As I said in other comments, the term misinformation might not be the best fit, take unsubstantiated claims instead. Also my initial comment was to some extent meant jokingly and provocative.

There are of course also historic facts in the Bible, I am obviously not saying it is all nonsense. We do not even have to argue about a historical Jesus, could be either way.

You come to realize that this is just software in general. The default mode of a software project from its inception is failure. The amount of intense effort and dedication it takes to steer that outcome towards success is so monumental, that you stop caring at all about "ideas" until they have been materialized.
I'm completely shocked that the "defund the police" movement was where the progressive activists chose to dedicate their attention.

Whereas issues like you mention above, and trial reform in general, and prison system reform in general, would have wide bipartisan support.

It really makes me suspicious why activists and the media are not advocating for the things 90% of people would agree with. Is the other stuff just an intentional distraction so nothing gets fixed?
All the reasons why I’m happy on mastodon and have zero interest in threads.
IMO, most of people who always flex bout their skill on using arch or kali linux doesn't really use it and don't have basic knowledge about unix/linux. As a DevOps and sometimes be sysadmin, I've interviewed a lot of self-proclaimed "hacker" (most of them are young) and most of them lack of fundamental knowledge about process, memory and networking, when they are the most important thing to do anything seriously in linux/unix.

People has been making argument for years about the best distro and which distro makes them look like a god. Now, anything which helps me do my job as fast as I can is the best and I think Debian/Ubuntu is the best distro to work with. Large user base, familiar interface and pretty up-to-date software is the selling point of Debian/Ubuntu.

You are saying pretty much the opposite of reality. For elections there is an emphasis on finality and we would never overturn an election years later because of something like I had "an incompetent campaign manager." You can do things like recounts but the process ends shortly after the election and then that's it. But for criminal trials the appeals process is effectively endless, in most cases if there's new evidence that that proves your innocence you can get a new trail or if it's definitive enough just be let out of jail with an "our bad." I think this is good but Thomas wants it to be more like elections where once it's decided it's decided, you go through your punishment and we just accept that sometimes mistakes will be made.
That’s only true after Japan’s massive property bubble crashed. Before that housing was as unaffordable as it currently is in China.
I don't think the level of cynicism has changed - there has always been a strong critical take on pretty much everything here. But I do agree that the tone of it has changed. It used to be more constructive and now people are more snarky.

But the tone ebbs and flows over time, too. Eventually the community moderation gets the point across via downvoting pointless or rude snark and flagging people who are outright toxic, and we get back to the norm.

Give it time.
Man, that article dances around the issue, huh. When I say most I mean arena selling artists. Small time artists don't get their tickets scalped. Ever heard those stories of artists putting silly requests just to make sure the organizers complied their terms to the letter of the contract? That's a tell they're not running their own operation. Sure, some do. But if they're touring internationally or doing festivals they are getting hired.

The story of Hedy Lamar was an amazing piece of hacker lore to discover before the web when culture was mostly confined to paper and scarce. I often think makers form a parallel culture with its own thread of history. Hacker history like this shows that breakthrough technology is the effect of individual minds and desire.
