That doesn't seem possible. How would that work?

If you mean https://github.com/y-gagar1n/nanoid-good, that seems to be doing the same thing.

In general, I'm a bit weary of solutions that "guarantee no bad words" – this is usually highly language-specific: One language's perfectly acceptable name is another language's swear word.
My point was that it could have been a PR on the original repository, hosted by the original author, and that would have been a nice Show HN even if posted by the person who helped build it for the web. Contribute positively to a good project.

The article mentioned using an 8bit ADC. Could a 16bit ADC be used on BOTH sides and achieve 112kbps?
No, it's more like refusing to describe as "lobbying" the behavior that became legal after Citizens United v. FEC. It seems wild to just, "oh it's legal and fine," when at least one justice involved in the 5-4 ruling was accepting huge gifts from billionaires.

I'm sure plenty of what you'd consider corruption in Russia is both obviously corrupt as well as de facto legal.

I love Go and have been thinking of using it for a game project, but I can't help but feel like the web itself is a far better stack.

The web browser gives you a rich collection of things you need out of the box and fairly "cross platform" by nature. You get things like graphics, audio, networking, debugging utilities, access to webgl / webgpu, etc.

As much as I hate to admit it.. it seems the web is far more suited for it than Go. I'm sure the game dev purists out there are pointing and laughing at the idea though :)

One interesting fact is that Darwin directly referred to Bakewell in the first chapter of On the Origin of Species:

“a kind of Selection, which may be called Unconscious, and which results from every one trying to possess and breed from the best individual animals, is more important. Thus, a man who intends keeping pointers naturally tries to get as good dogs as he can, and afterwards breeds from his own best dogs, but he has no wish or expectation of permanently altering the breed. Nevertheless I cannot doubt that this process, continued during centuries, would improve and modify any breed, in the same way as Bakewell, Collins, &c., by this very same process, only carried on more methodically, did greatly modify, even during their own lifetimes, the forms and qualities of their cattle.”

Writing lessons learned after writing a book
> Similarly doing ssh <host> <command> starts a non-interactive login shell.

Interesting, is there a source for this? Genuinely interested, because the manpage leaves this part a bit vague:

A login shell is one whose first character of argument zero is a -, or
one started with the --login option.
(...)
Bash attempts to determine when it is being run with its standard input
connected to a network connection, as when executed by the historical
remote shell daemon, usually rshd, or the secure shell daemon sshd.
If bash determines it is being run non-interactively in this fashion, it
reads and executes commands from ~/.bashrc, if that file exists
and is readable.

Sadly, the manpage for sshd also doesn't mention how exactly the users shell is invoked. It does say however:

After this, the client either requests an interactive shell or
execution of a non-interactive command

...which I took to understand that the shell dows in fact run as an interactive shell.

> IIRC nope: distros such as Debian often have bashrc source bash profile

Well, these are distro dependent things. Since I am not on Debian, I am just refering to the manpage.

Show HN: Self-contained Linux apps in Lisp
Not too long ago, a project of mine was shared here on HN.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38126052

In that thread I wrote:

> I have this vision in my mind: embedding lone modules into sections of the lone ELF and shipping it out. Zero dependencies, self-contained.

I've been working on that since that day. Proud to say I've gotten it to work and thought I'd make it the subject of my first Show HN. Some free software projects gained features along the way too.

The link is to an article with a proper demonstration, technical details and what happened in the past few weeks.

The complete repository itself can be found here:

I've completely reorganized it since the last thread. Would be very happy if you guys tried it out.
Rethinking Boundaries in a Warming World
It’s kinda clever. The people most likely to look at this project are also likely ideal candidates for implementing the library in a new language (Developer, FOSS enthusiast, interested in the project, need the library in a language they’re familiar with that isn’t implemented yet).

Also, the language pills differentiate between those that have been implemented (color logo, dark text, bold) and those that aren’t (grayscale).
Both could be equally wrong and hallucinated.

Aware of all this but none of it justifies a poor part search experience. And this isn't pinching pennies; sometimes we're talking about a two order of magnitude cost difference, especially when your initial hoped-for specs result in just a few options that are all rare military-grade things. Furthermore usually, if part A is $10 on digikey and part B is $1, then even when you find a different supplier or order direct from manufacturers, part B will usually be cheaper than part A on a relative basis, even if the price difference becomes something like $2 vs $0.50.

If there's a part that would have worked better, but you weren't able to find it, that's a problem with search.

Furthermore, cost is just as an example, the same applies if you're looking to minimize package size, temperature rise, power loss, etc. Any component selection is an optimization process and ideally, a good search and filtering will enable you to sort for exactly the specs you need to find the best component candidates more quickly. Maybe that doesn't mean filtering by price, but by (voltage*quiescent current + conduction loss + switching loss), and so on. Or (rise time + propagation delay), etc. Of course you still need to read the datasheet to make sure. We're just talking about better search to find the parts that meet your actual requirement. The point of good search is it should do the mechanical work for you of finding parts, rather than making you try different parameter combinations again and again by hand.

Digikey is still the best, but that doesn't even mean it's good.

it’s not communism if you don’t have to pay for it. it makes me so angry that politically compromised right-wingers choose to misunderstand this. if I go to the supermarket and just walk out with my shopping, that’s a crime in the same way that it’s a crime if I get on the train without paying or turn on the BBC and watch without paying, this isn’t some authoritarian communistic impingement upon your rights, it’s just goods and services. and before you repeat that “state-owned, state-backed” nonsense, publically-owned bodies are not communism. the military is not communism. the NHS is not communism. the BBC is so far from communism it’s a joke.

you would think that right-wing people would love the BBC’s model. the BBC isn’t funded through taxes, the consumer has choice, it’s constantly being restricted in order to maintain private competition, but no. why no? because “BBC bad” is constantly pushed through the right-wing media because they have a literal direct profit motive for you to see it as bad.

if the BBC doesn’t fit your incredibly specific ideas for what content it should pursue, how about this? just don’t pay for it. watch something else. vote with your feet like you can do with any other streaming service. send them a letter telling them why. you can be damn sure they’ll pay more attention to it than Netflix would.

The f-16 can also bomb a dozen targets without flying back to base: https://www.quora.com/Can-a-real-F-16C-fighter-jet-carry-6-A...

An a-10 strafing targets is also going to take multiple passes to destroy a dozen targets. Unless they're all in a column, in which case the f-16 can destroy them too with a cluster bomb.

I'm not sure where you're getting this idea that the f-16 has a very limited air to ground payload. And the 30mm canon in the a-10 is not nearly as impactful as you make it out to be. There's enough public information on f-16's operational history to make your claims demonstrably false.

The SEC doesn't set the legal standard for what is or is not a security. The courts do, based on the statutes passed by Congress.

Here's a guide they published: https://www.sec.gov/corpfin/framework-investment-contract-an... It summarizes the law.

The SEC obviously will not be publishing a release saying it won't enforce the law according to criteria written to suit cryptocurrency promoters. Its key public mission is investor protection.

> It's worth noting that copy_file_range is used by a lot of things.

Yes, but the trigger feature, block cloning, only landed in the latest 2.2 release. If you immediately hopped on 2.2, and used a system with lots copy_file_range and FICLONE use, yes, you may have a problem (like, as you note, on Gentoo, where this problem surfaced).

Most people were just hopping on the bandwagon. My distro ships 2.1.5, so I have a 6 month wait until this feature lands, so I was just building copy_file_range support into my ZFS apps, right before news of this bug hit.[0]

> There are other things required to trigger the bug that are a lot less common though.

Exactly. My guess is the incidence of this will exceedingly rare for the common user/small NAS user/etc. I've run a corruption detector[1], and what I've found mostly indicates false positives. Fingers crossed, but, so far, no actual positive matches on a system with probably a little less than 1 million files.

regulators don't have problem with crypto, they have problem with Crypto.

more seriously, there's zero problem with the technology. you can send money to anyone you want using a complicated game of crypto whisper phone, but everyone in the chain has to file tax returns or whatever is required in the jurisdictions along the path.

patio's piece opens with the insight that Crypto companies want to be eveywhere while being nowhere.

if Crypto wants to really be everywhere, then they can do what all big tech (and non-tech) inter-multi-continental conglomerate does, open branch offices, do the frustrating work of finding local regulation experts, navigating the immense labyrinth of global vs local realpolitik, etc.

they should/could have started with registering the fucking tokens.

it makes zero sense that they contested this, because they already do KYC for their own fucking anti-fraud purposes.

1. My mind is blown that this oddly specific behaviour was apparently so common that the government mandated all cellphone cameras must play shutter sounds that cannot be muted. What the hell?

2. Do third-party camera apps also trigger the shutter sound? What about recording a video? If not, doesn't this law just push pervs to snap video instead of still shots while unnecessarily degrading user experience across society?
The large Polish purchase from SK confirms what he said. For example, out of 1000 tanks bought from SK, only 180 will be manufactured in SK. The remaining 820 will be produced in Poland.

This also sways other countries in the region towards buying from SK, because Poland will become a very close and convenient support center. Poland will get extra business from nearby countries (lowering unit cost), and nearby countries will obtain superior support.

The duplication stems from the presence of two workflows in DT: scene-referred and display-referred.

I think OP was pushing for the scene-referred workflow and removal of the legacy display-referred workflow and all related modules. In fact Ansel made a step in that direction. It removed legacy modules (from UI at least), also, for example, it replaced sharpen and soften modules with some iirc wavelet-based thingy which does both (I forgot the name as I tried it long ago).

Can’t comment on contrast after desaturation directly. Perhaps OP could explain why it is done so. A tangential thing: desaturation is actually a complicated process. You could rely on lightness, you could rely on RGB components, etc.. I think Ansel and its Color balance and CAT modules give you full control over all this complexity. These tools are much more flexible than anything offered by competitors. But it’s certainly not easy. This is a bit related to the sibling comment about targeting towards technically inclined people.

When do facts stop being novel? There are hundreds of millions of crypto users worldwide, and more than a trillion dollars in value at stake. Cryptocurrencies have been around for more than a decade, and only in the past few years has the SEC begun to assert broad authority across the whole category.

Whether or not the crypto industry is victimized or not has nothing to do with my point, which is simply that the SEC has avoided clarifying the difference between security tokens and non-security tokens, while at the same time undertaking aggressive enforcement actions that depend entirely on where that line is drawn. I imagine that you and I agree on this?

> That’s actually not exactly what the decision in the Ripple case says: it says that certain types of transactions are not securities transactions, but some are.

Thank you for pointing that out. I added the qualifier exchange traded when referring to XRP in an attempt to highlight that distinction, but my terminology was imprecise.

As you note, the court identified the transaction as the proper level of analysis, and found that whether or not participants entered into an investment contract depended on the nature of the transaction, not the token.

Implicit in this mode of analysis is that the XRP token is never itself a security; rather, securities laws are implicated when the XRP token is part of an investment contract, where the investment contract is itself a security, but the underlying asset is not.

My point about 1 target is to emphasize that quantity matters. I said that the F-16 was bad at CAS and the F-35 is even worse. This is true. First, the F-16 carries less ammunition than the A-10, while the F-35 carries even less than the F-16. Second, CAS means Close Air Support. If the airplane is not close to the ground, then it is not doing CAS.

As for making multiple passes, that is better than multiple trips to/from base.
