Ryanair allowed me to fly across the Europe for $15 back when I was a poor student. It was either this, or not flying at all.

I have a QPSK & BPSK packet radio link to several other stations via the QO-100 satellite narrowband transponder, using a couple of Pluto SDRs and in some cases a mix/match of RTL SDR dongles and 70cm radios with transverters.

Only a small group (4 so far) doing it, but we can be heard on the WEBSDR hosted at Goonhilly Earth station[1]

Due to small dish sizes on RX (10GHz) we are keeping it simple and open at 1200 BPSK and QPSK 2400 with IL2P[2][3] for FEC+RS robustness, and not even close to the 2.7Khz max permitted bandwidth.

You're not paying for terabytes of media. You are paying for time and a reduced cognitive load.

I think it's a fair price if you live in the US. I'd pay it, except I don't live in the US and our currency isn't great at the moment, and I don't exactly get overpaid at my job, and the cost of everything is rising, so I personally can't afford it ATM. But it seems reasonable to me.

I think when you say "why do you need to ____?" you think you're saying "what are you trying to do, and maybe there's another way to accomplish that", but what everyone hears is "you're right".

And for the record, "because it's their device, not Google's" should be as good a reason as any.
It's not that bad really. I'm sure it'll be done in a half arsed way.
I am certain that one of the reasons Swift uses reference counting is to achieve more predictable performance and to avoid the GC pauses that plague Java etc.

Another may be that it simplifies the runtime for system code such as kernels and device drivers.

When the free plan was 50 searches, that lasted me less than a day.

Now that the free plan is 300 searches, it'd last me a few days.

I always enjoy how the planner explicitly calls it an anti join but for those unfamiliar with the tricks the sql looks pretty weird on first glance.

Traditionally I’ve always done it as left join null but I saw a case a while back where the not exists version performed better (Postgres). I feel like I must have missed something because I thought they optimised to the same thing (maybe there were other criteria in the subquery that allowed it to use a better index).
I respect your desire to downvote me but I respectfullu disagree after signing up and using them.

"Bad HN stuff" is lazy argument. They sell google searches and their value is "we promise". Bad HN stuff is how the HN crowd loves to hate on commercial VPN providers who have the same business model but the Kagi dude speaks and talks like your crowd so you rally around this product.

As if DDG didn't do the same thing for free. ADs were never the problem, the way ads work in search was the problem.

One of the first lessons I learned on the internet is never to trust online services on their word alone and that what you post online (search in this case) is there to stay forever.

You know what made me swtich from indifferent to opposing Kagi? After my trial ended, i kept searching for stuff in my nav bar, historical hits come up and when I select them, boom, Kagi paywall!

That's why my challenge to Kagi is if they ask money for what DDG and like a dozen other competitors offer for free with privacy promises similar to Kagi, then at least offer insurance and put their money where their mouth is if they're going to ask for people's money.

Also, search results after you stop paying shouldn't go back on paywall, you paid already for it!

I commented fully expecting to get downvoted as I do now, but you haven't countered my fairly reasonable assertions.
Unlocking your phone wipes it. Rooting does not.

I've used LineageOS + MicroG on a pixel phone and it's been great being free of Google spyware.
Sure, that might help you on your desktop. But this exploit was only discovered because of a zero-click iOS exploit, where the payload was encoded in an iMessage attachment that opened in Passkit, which rendered the WebP file. (In fact the user didn't even need to "open" the attachment - just receiving the message was sufficient to trigger the exploit.)

So Qubes won't help you everywhere, and the WebP decoder is everywhere.

New ‘Sandman’ Apt Group Hitting Telcos with Rare LuaJIT Malware
The Fortran standard does not specify anything about passing by references or value. Instead, it specifies the expected results. The compilers do it however they want or can, which means that they can pass pointers, values, copies, or pointers to copies depending on the situation.

Sometimes (most of the time, to be fair), the compiler can work out the best solution. Sometimes, the developer has to jump through some hoops to avoid unnecessary copies.
Yeah, Windows 8 was kind of ineffably bad. I know exactly effing why Windows 10 is bad; nothing ineffable about it.

Mastodon's Search updates are a huge boost for the platform.

I'm still sorting out what's been added and changed, but:

- People can now opt in to full-text search (this is disabled by default), through user preferences.

- There are apparently search modifiers, though I'm trying to track down the full sequence. "from:me <search terms>" will turn up your own content on specific terms.

I've long found that whether or not a platform has an effective search capability has a huge impact on how useful I find it. Hacker News's search (by Algolia) is a big draw of this site. The lack of effective search on services such as Ello (RIP, apparently), Diaspora, and Reddit (text posts are searchable, comments are not) played a large part in my ultimate dissatisfaction with those tools.
3.2 million users subscribed to the main raspberry pi subreddit alone. That shows there's a pretty good amount of users for a hardware product like this.
Because if they did carry out the assassination as state policy, they know that, and if they didn't, they know that, too.

Would you need to review someone else’s evidence to decide if you committed a murder?

Third party evidence is relevant only to the extent that they didn't do it as a matter of state policy but a rogue agent or group might have done it.
> Granted, service got worse, but you can still buy service at 2x the price in first class. People just don't.

A lot worse. So bad that while I love to fly, I hate to fly on commercial airlines and avoid it when at all possible. Especially post-9/11.

Some of the issues are mitigated by flying first class, but even that only makes it a bit more tolerable, but not enough to be worth the increased airfare.
I appreciate what the writer was attempting to say about the "one true runtime". The ecosystem has coalesced around tokio and it's here to stay. I personally like Tokio a lot.

That being said, critiquing a thread based vs async (green-thread) approach especially when it comes to usability is splitting hairs imo. Sure, you no longer have to use the await keyword, but it's just a keyword. There is the reduction of the threadpool scheduler for the async runtime, but that works pretty well and is not exposed to most users. And rationalizing about a thread based approach vs a async approach is just as hard. It's the nature of multithreaded programming.

Sure. And Ryanair does everything to lower down that cost: they operate only one type of aircraft and they do maintenance themselves instead of contracting it out.
Not your bank? Email and bank login should be sufficient to change mfa and other settings and lock you out long enough to have forged checks drawn and cashed against your account.

A lot of comments mention privacy. Could someone explain who can see my searches at Kagi? My experience working at startups is that companies are very lax with customer PII. With a product like this, I have to assume every engineer at Kagi can see every search I make.
About half of these I don't care for, but the submarine mission would be cool.
XML definitely, as it is structured, with schema validation.
Actually, an ad hominem is when you try to discredit an argument somebody made by attacking that person.

The example you cite seems closer to attacking a person based on their arguments being (perceived or claimed to be) bad. If you say "embarrassing an XY grad would make such a stupid argument" it will only discredit the argument if I believe XY graduates are stupid (I guess the $publication example aims at this). Meanwhile, if I don't see why the argument is bad and don't have a bad opinion of XY, your statement is entirely unconvincing.

The most important thing is to keep it updated, as we're fairly rapidly iterating on it, and most of the Element X bugs we've seen have actually turned out to be a stale Sliding Sync proxy deployment. Glad it was fairly straightforward.

It would be nice to provide first class support for state of the art web clients (both desktop and mobile). That would fit your opening stance of "Matrix has been going for over 9 years now, providing an open standard for secure, decentralised communication for the open Web" more than apps tied to the iOS/Android app ecosystems.

Well if EV battery prices continue to decline at a similar rate - and there’s no reason not to expect this - then in 8-10 years the cost of the batteries is going to be about ¼ of today’s cost. So it doesn’t really seem like it will be such a burden.
PyGWalker: Change the way of visualizing data in Juypter Notebook
You can run sequential commands with ansible, but then you're just using it as a replacement for "ssh $host < script.sh". You would be missing out on most of the usefulness of the tool. It's meant to be used declaratively. The manual describes it quite well. In the same type of tools are puppet and indeed nix, but with one important difference for the latter: nix is also a package manager, which allows for more a fine grained state specification.
I disagree, as the previous commenter said it’s not the tool, it’s the user and if you don’t know what you’re doing you’re prone to doing damage. Non trivial amounts of auth are made by “junior” engineers. I find that a lot more disastrous than a potential outer join + where accident *that also requires* the application code to leak the data to the outside world to be damaging *and* the underlying data to be sensitive.

Discretion is not the key problem. Discretion is a necessary part of the job.

Let me address victimization rates - because yes, they are higher in poorer communities. That does not justify in any way the behavior of police in those communities, which is to randomly pull over/stop and search/etc. people on the street who "look" like bad guys. If somebody kills someone, sure, arrest them and put them in prison. Most "bad guys" sent to prison are not violent offenders (drugs, theft, homelessness, child support, etc.) with drug possession being a huge chunk of it.

https://www.americanactionforum.org/research/incarceration-a...

The culture of policing is the key problem, which is created by a confluence of training, recruiting practices, general societal attitudes, and the political leadership of elected officials. It's not one problem, as you can see - it's many contributing factors.

A local town near me was praised some years back for drastically reducing violence by shifting towards community-based outreach policing. The local news actually called out Chicago for not following its example, you should definitely read about it:

https://www.aurora-il.org/1637/Community-Oriented-Policing-C...

Critics of community oriented policing typically view it as "being soft on crime" instead of a systems problem. The "put bad guys in prison" model has the effect of continuing the cycle of poverty, and measures such as mostly doing away with pre-trial detention (i.e. bond) for non-violent offenders are intended as a systemic fix for the poverty cycle.
Yes, but in practice no compiler checks whether an argument with no INTENT is modified or not, or could alias with something else or not. So the compilers tend to trust the programmer. With INTENTS, it’s obvious and much easier to check.
This is a company, not a charity.
I’ve done a lot of interviewing and one thing I’ve noticed is that many people are pretty confused about how joins work.

They think the foreign keys put some sort of link on a parent table to let it access rows of a child table as if they were an array.

There’s also a massive misunderstanding around ordering where a lot of people think that by reordering the joins you can control the order in which the db is going to execute the query.
It's not tracked, that's (part of) the whole point
You're literally saying 'we should inflict more pain on the relatively poor'. And it's not just about transport. With ever-rising energy prices, people are literally forced to choose 'between heating and eating'

No? Entities don't get to write off the cost of being audited, there's a very real expense associated with both documenting the regulated process in a compliant manner and working through the audit process with the relevant regulatory body.
Yeah, I'm not using any special implementation of sha256. Just crypto/sha256 from the standard library. It's also worth noting that I'm testing on a zen2 chip. I have read a lot of papers saying that sha2 is much faster because CPUs have special support; didn't see it in practice. (No AVX-512 here, but I believe those algorithms predate AVX-512 anyway.)
To make a point, early webcams were USB 1.0, 12Mbps maximum, and it was enough for SD-quality video. USB 2.0 is 40x faster, which, assuming similar encoding (i.e. 20 year old tech), should be more than enough for 1080p video. It should be enough to best any laptop webcam, which are usually USB2 internally, but with worse optics and without the processing power of a smartphone behind it.

Using more fancy encoding, 4k should be no problem, even with a bit of headroom for on-device encoding and low latency.

Where do you think open source AI models and frameworks come from, magical moneyless communist computing fairies?

They come from big businesses who see open source as the most effective way of reaching their goals, and as more of the tech filters out around the world, that will continue to be the case even if regulation makes that less useful in some juriadictions, making both open source in those jurisidctions and the firms that see their benefit in it less competitive.

I would be weary of trusting the current Canadian prime minister

CSIS and Canadian NSA (Canadian Intelligence Services) overall have a good reputation but have been mismanaged recently and also have been politicised and made to lie about events

An example incident around 2018-2019

Canadian Prime Minister on his visit to India in 2018 had invited a known terrorist in hiding to his gala, who was shown to even take a photograph with his wife, the first lady at that event [0]

Then after this incident blew up back then, the national security advisor of Canada, CSIS and the Canadian Prime Minister claimed that it was rogue elements in the Indian government who brought the criminal to the gala to embarass Canada [1]

Only for a liberal mp from Prime Minister’s own party admitting they were the ones who invited the known fugitive who was facing charges on attempted murder against Indian beauracrats and journalists. [2][3]

It was a disaster and showed how the current prime minister likes to use public services to save his face and make false accusation against other governments and nations.

The Minister even had to resign later for this.

I’ve added two attributions for last point [2] and [3] a canadian and a indian media source as it wasnt widely publicised in Canada (considering how embarrassing it was for them) but was widely shown in India

I linked only canadian sources and newspapers to give them the benefit of the doubt.

My parents live in a community where one of the roads is named something like "High Street" (not actually that; it's a little road within their development). That sign gets stolen a few times a year by college students from the next town over because it includes the word "high". They have never had a road barrier stolen or meaningfully damaged, though -- they have maybe a dozen in various places.

They budget about $50/year to replace the signs. Still much less, even over rather a long period, than the cost of rebuilding a bridge.
Thanks for sharing. Are you switching back because of pricing, or reliability issues?

I'm just a week into using it, but one of the things I've noticed is that for technical queries official docs are ranked a lot higher than random blogs and those sites that just repackage content they scraped from Stack Overflow.

I don't know if they're putting a finger on the scale, or maybe they're just doing the original Google thing of ranking sites that seem to be where the search terminates higher, but it's good.
> Thankfully for airlines, it seems flying is a lot more indispensable than riding by rail.

More like air routes are a lot cheaper to change than rails. Nor do air routes cost millions of dollars per-mile to build.

And yes, jetliners are several times faster than trains, even bullet trains, and since rail networks are orders of magnitude more expensive than airline networks... The whole thing adds up to air travel being much much much cheaper and more convenient than rail with relatively few exceptions involving high population densities.
Yea, that's mostly where I am on this too.
