Pasting huge prompts into HN comments is really irritating. Make whatever point you’re trying to make without doing that.

It indeed does tend to assume that you’re speaking hypothetically and for a potentially fictional purpose. Which is a better approach, as far as I’m concerned. I prefer that to it constantly being a nanny that questions everything.

In my opinion IT people are often great at communicating clearly and with what in other parts of business would be called vision. They think ahead and see connections between processes and systems that non-technical management (even the process owners) miss. They can see the dot on the wall and deliver a program brining you there.

However, and that’s the big gripe, each and every one IT proposal I see costs money. It not just costs money, everything costs money, but it raises the long term average cost per unit. Even when we are dismantling ancient and totally non functional systems, the TCO of the modern solution is higher than the previous. Look I’m here on HN, can program a bit, understand quite large parts of the tech stack. But not why even highly capable IT-staff and management whom I have confidence in can’t seem to explain their contribution to the basic underpinning of business: average cost should go down over time and with scale.

(Advice about how to talk about this with IT people is more than welcome! A lot of organizational distrust and poison sadly follows from this.)

One of the more current examples is that IT-staff forgets that they are 2-3x more expensive per FTE than general workers. So when I see a plan and calculate how much middle management should save in reduced workload thanks to plan X both sides don’t like the outcome. The end of the day picture that companies exist by grace of customers willing to pay for your product (and cost loading!) is lost at that moment.

No. SecureBoot does non of that. SecureBoot is only a signature on the first binary that runs on the system. "Does Microsoft or the alternative CA I added allow this binary to run". That's it. It doesn't say anything about system state; or about the binaries that run after.

Measured boot gives you a holistic view of system state that can be verified by a third party. "What binaries are currently running; which ones ran; did a user unlock the disk with the right password; was the firmware modified; did the latest system update run; are the right users on the system". It's extremely powerful. Combined with TPM policies you can do things like "The secret to my service can only be decrypted after the service has securely authenticated with my mesh network and proven its identity to an attestation server and only after 3rd of february 2024".

If TPM measured boot is implemented correctly; secureboot is actually redundant. SecureBoot is basically just an allow-list of which bootloaders can run and nothing more.

To summarise:

* SecureBoot only works at time T0 with Binary b0. But say you install a compromised apt package after booting secureboot is not gonna help you with that

* Measured boot is supposed to protect against (or make it cryptographically obvious that it happened) compromise for the entire lifetime of the machine. (Which is what you need if you want to attest that your bare metal servers were not tampered with by law enforcement agencies)

While ChatGPT has obvious limits and flaws, the conclusion that it is a robotic tour without any unexpected detours seems unfair.

It is also something I barely ever came across in traditional itineraries by humans on the various websites I used for our most recent London trip.

No, it was basically (just like here) popularity rankings tuned for good SEO rankings. Even personal blogs barely ever surprised me where exciting detours were spots such as the tourist infested “unknown” Neal’s Yard. I got so many Needles, so many Sky Gardens. Discovering the ticket-free option The Garden at 120 took much more prodding.

The flaws and lies from GPT 3.5 are common, but our unfair bias against AI equally so. We often seem to place these services on a higher pedestal than ourselves.

Oh and please don’t use budget models for articles in high-profile newspapers and draw conclusions on AI from those. Also, remember they follow your commands; if you want lesser known and unexpected spots, be sure to say so!
The Seeds of Earth by Michael Cobley, which feels very much like he mashed together a couple of Alan Dean Foster books with an Iain M Banks Culture novel.

A key part of the story takes place on a planet-wide forest with giant trees and a Gaia-like sentience (Midworld), its maguffin is a galaxy-threatening superweapon (The Tar-Aiym Krang), and a significant character is a wise old floating robot/AI that uses fields to manipulate things (Culture drones).

This reminds me of Interstellar, where I recognised the books that the authors had taken their influences from, such as Rocheworld by Robert L. Forward, which also features helpful robots that fold up with arms that have smaller-and-smaller subunits.

The linked post (toot?) from Tony Arcieri says this when talking about the matter of avoiding namespace squatting in Cargo:

> (In Rust) there will be namespaces soon anyway, just not the kind that would require a huge paid manual review/support staff to administer everything

Is he talking about Maven Central?

Because using DNS prefixed packages as a means to avoid namesquatting seems to me like the best solution out there. For all its faults, Maven got a lot of package-management things right, and I'd argue DNS prefixes is one of them.

I wish that solution wasn't handwaved so quickly.

You just make an account at Maven Central, prove ownership of your domain name, and can then start publishing packages with your publisher credentials. If you suddenly lose your DNS name (as in the case of .ga), you'll still be able to publish packages for a while, at least until there is a new ownership verification, giving you ample time to publish new versions with deprecation warnings.

But, of course, that requires people on top of the registration system, approving requests, attending issues. Claiming that the need for such staff is something to avoid, sounds to me akin to if we were in the 90s thinking how to distribute software packages in our Linux distro, and someone said the need for package maintainers would be something to avoid.

I wanted to build something like this but for Linux, especially the vimium-like hints that would work in any app. I even made a prototype by abusing the AT-SPI2 accessibility API. Unfortunately, querying AT-SPI2 for all buttons takes too long in complex apps. And even if it was fast, many apps (especially non-GTK ones) implement accessibility poorly or don't implement it at all, so I abandoned the project.

I guess it would be possible to make a framework specific implementation, for example by replacing the GTK shared library with a modified version, but that's too much effort and I lost interest in the whole 'mouseless' thing anyway.
> a consumer has to trust a third party who may have incentives that don't align with their own

That's true for literally anything, not just IoT security and privacy. I mean, even for highly technical users, one can't do everything from scratch, nor even check and control every single aspect: you gotta trust the the computer hardware or OS you're using isn't backdoored, you gotta trust the people that built the place you live in didn't put half the rebar actually needed or wired the whole thing backwards or with thinner-than-required wires, you gotta trust that the food you eat isn't going to make you sick...

Same for HASS, one could delegate trust to a specialist that would install a HA Green or Yellow box for them, just as they do for electrical wiring. HA is only "third party" because the IoT place lacks standards but is in essence no different than wiring stuff from different vendors, where "myriads of decentralised solutions" exist only because of standards, and for which decentralisation essentially means everyone is a third party to everyone else.

So I don't think dismissing HASS as third party is fair, and wiring IoT with virtual wires is no different than wiring a breaker box. If you don't know how to do it it can be dangerous, and so you delegate and trust someone to do their job properly.

For many people is either I buy something I can afford, or I don't buy anything.

What is safest. Regulating new cars to expensive safety standards, and make them unaffordable for the masses or being more conservative about such standards and allow affordable cars to exist?

European govermentes have chosen the first option. In the meantime, the car average age keep increasing. Much safer, indeed.

The end goal is to have much less cars on the road, not conspiracy, but an actual statement. And of course, the cars to get rid of are not those of the wealthy.

After my luggage went missing for the first time recently, my key takeaways are:

- If at all possible, avoid checked luggage - it's overpriced, slow and unreliable. No news to pro travellers I guess

- Luggage reimbursement is capped at a relatively low figure that hasn't increased in decades (sources vary, jurisdiction unclear when international which just adds to the point). In any case, if you're traveling with a fancy Rimowa, the luggage itself is worth that... Never put valuables in checked luggage

- The whole process seems increasingly stupid to me. A lot of conveyor belts, tracking systems etc. just to get a bag that I can carry by my own, all because the space in the overhead compartments is limited - manufacturers are working on larger compartments recently

- Some airlines are nearly impossible to contact - you might be asked to call a number in <random country> and then wait in line for 2, 3 hours then the call drops randomly (looking at you, Aegean)

- I appreciate this might be unavoidable for families, i.e. when you carry luggage for multiple people, or when you need a set of suits etc. But still, keep the Rolex on your wrist

> squad members not remembering gear assignments between missions, no keyboard shortcuts during missions

I still have a notebook that contains squad member names and loadouts. I used that to quickly equip soldiers for missions.

You can tell the changes by the crossed out text. When I got plasma rifles. When I got blaster bombs. When my main assault guy caught a heavy plasma hit in the face.

I absolutely agree on the complexity of Nix, it’s an entirely different paradigm than traditional Linux/BSD distros. That said, in many ways the silverblue/ostree approach seems to be too much of a “compromise”, so to speak. To elaborate, the traditional approaches to package management is disappointing users, straining maintainers, and falling behind the needs of developers. While Nix takes a radical approach and totally redesigns package management, Silverblue would rather present an illusion of a traditional system to software and boxes up the mess in containers.

Ultimately Silverblue is trying to be an “immutable” system without the need to coordinate packages and/or software. And such an approach is highly appealing for enterprise support, but the end result is somewhat of a Frankenstein system. Of course Nix is not without its warts, I can’t stand its language and documentation is terrible.

Overall I find Guix to be my favorite of the bunch. It’s legitimately a wonderful tool to develop with, I agree with the emphasis of reproducibility and bootstrapping, Guile is a wonderful language for configs/scripts, and it comes with a great manual. Even still, I couldn’t recommend GuixSD due to the lack of systemd and the hardline approach to free software (libre Linux).
Those aren't lost episodes. They are available on DVD and iPlayer.
I was involved with one of those some time ago. My answer to your question:

NetBSD: mostly developed by people passionate about system design, trying to come up with nice solutions and also want to run these systems for their own use. Majority of devs actually use the system daily.

FreeBSD: Gets most corporate support and the most pragmatic in a way, that it’s developed mostly as something that they need for a specific purpose. Most devs had Macs a couple years ago on conferences.

OpenBSD: Highly opinionated and elitist: what works usually works well, but mostly in an old school way (so don’t expect fancy OS features). They eat their own dog food, so it runs great on laptops.
The paid option rids you of both. I’m not sure if GDPR allows a company to demand payment if you do not consent to tracking.
Right, it’s not exactly the same, but a title lien is not the same as a title in the name of the lender, and we still consider the car to be owned by the buyer during the loan period for every purpose except the right to discontinue the loan. I was hoping a more familiar example might help that person understand that sales agreements are a widespread practice and enforceable (for better and worse.)
I love how they wrote an entire article fawning about how awesome this process is before showing that it doesn't actually work at resisting fingerprints. Apple's reality distortion field at work.
I think it is important to pick a static site generator that is implemented in a language that you know.

This is because sooner or later something will break, or you’ll need to update your dependencies, and it will be frustrating if you don’t remember how to do that because you don’t use the language elsewhere.

I initially used Jekyll (written in Ruby) but am now switching to Pelican (written in Python) simply because I personally understand how to keep a Python environment updating and working and do not understand how to keep a Ruby environment working.
The AirPort Extreme runs on NetBSD.

Thanks for the tip, I'm aware of it, but it breaks the core benefit of Alt+X : guaranteed repeats, with fn-control-f2-F-Enter you can't be certain to open the File menu since there might be another menu starting with F

Predictability is a core feature of UI design

Anyway, personally I use a better alternative to fully recreate the Alt+X to open a menu via keyboard maestro, so I've sovled the issue for myself, but it still is a core Mac deficiency contrary to the "OSX has been very keyboard friendly" claim
Alright, looks like I got bad intel. It's F40 that will drop the X session for KDE[1,2], coinciding with the Plasma 6 plan to phase out X support. I understand GNOME is also planning to drop X. Evidently Nvidia is not being allowed to hold up Wayland progress by the Fedora team anymore [3].

I just wish they'd fix Wayland bugs like the mouse cursor being tiny in Firefox when using UI scaling, or text twitching on screen like my video card is dying, both of which go away in Xorg. I'll find my own way to make XScreenSavers work.

Any advice on how to appreciate the Expanse tv show?

I love backstory and worldbuilding sci-fi the Foundation Trilogy, The Man in the High Castle, For All Mankind, The Silo, The Tick, and Battlestar Galactica, but I can't seem to get immersed with The Expanse despite how much I try.

Is it a work that is better appreciated in the literary form instead of on television? Or did Syfy just jumble the first season?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but I would never interpret "French people" to mean anything other than people from France (not necessarily resident in France though). If we're referring to language then it would be something like "French speakers", or "native French speakers" if you want to be specific.

Uhu? Never heard about Seq before! Seems to have been introduced in 4.07 which was released 5 years ago, which is basically yesterday in terms of stdlib api. Set and Map, sure, but Seq? Lists are ubiquitous and they are indeed a central data structure in ocaml code. For anybody also wondering, Seq is a datatype for iterators (ie thunked lists).
