Fair point on .ch, yes, the geography really helped. Some questionable banking probably also deserves a mention.

Yes, true, there are plenty of local politicians that 'go to Brussels' and end up exporting their own corruption. The Bureaucrats are for the most part clean, though there have been some cases. One problem is that - just like everywhere else - the oversight body is understaffed.

The “null response” isn’t a “satisfactory” answer as it doesn’t address the question. “Must answer” means the person under question must provide an answer to the question being asked. As I already said, your own citation proposes non-response as an extension of the Imitation Game, not a standard possible answer. Non-answers are not at all addressed by Turing in his work, because it’s not a possible outcome of the specific test he outlined.

It’s a weak thought experiment and from it one does not derive meaningful results, as it does not (and is not proposed to by anyone other than you) fit the original game’s intent. There are many other and better criticisms of the Turing Test.

Besides, you blindly cited a paper you yourself didn’t even read after repeated declarations of your own correctness at the expense of everyone else; I cannot think of a clearer example of “bad faith engagement.”
That’s helpful thank you.

You would need to get a certificate of occupancy, yes. You would also need permits for some unfinished work, too.

You brought up the exterior needs to be finished. Do you expect to move in with just the frame? It seems fair to me to have requirements of basic livability and safety.

You could move in with things like some of the bathrooms unfinished, a kitchen unfinished if you have a kitchenette elsewhere, extra bedrooms unfinished, etc.
And it can compound sort of. If everyone tends to be nice to you, you go into situations expecting to become friends, which produces a good attitude that people respond to positively. (It can also lead to blind spots of course, but overall I’ll take it).
Yeah but at the time having fewer unstable countries with nukes was a rational decision.
Has Facebook dropped support for messenger apps in App Review? [ BOUNTY ]
I'm at 31 rejections from Facebook App Review and am looking for someone to authoritatively confirm that a messaging based app can pass App Review since Feb 2023, or citation from Facebook that App Review is no longer supported, or citation from Facebook on how to work around the blocking issues documented on the Stack Overflow question. Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can get such an answer? Or, a suggestion on how I should change my question or answer expectations? I've placed a bounty hoping to get something, its my first time doing a bounty on Stack Overflow. I'm posting it here since I find heaps of useful information in this Hacker News community.
Your idea interests me.

I think it's related to the Plank Scale, but what you're talking about would possibly be a "Plank Precision"?

I'm having a hard time seeing if this is fundamentally the same thing as the Plank Length, or if it's something different entirely.

Very cool idea though.
CUPS listening on a localhost port and asking you to authenticate with your username and actual password has long bothered me. (I know it’s a privileged port, I just don’t like the idea of ever typing my local password into any browser, ever.)

I haven’t seen this proposal yet in this thread: instead of convincing browser vendors to support connecting to Unix domain sockets, contrive a tiny adapter which listens on a localhost port and expects http with basic auth (and either generates a random username and password or accepts them by environment variables), prints out a url with the password like

Hi! To connect to your service at /tmp/whatever-service.unix, tell your browser to go to

http://fwahjiddbjko:derhhkiytdfbkifdx@localhost:45678/

and then the adapter accepts connections, checks the auth, and then proxies the connection to the unix socket.

You could do this with nginx really easily but you’d have to keep track of a config file for each service.

See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17701420/bypassing-http-... for a similar idea (but that is about stripping auth, not adding it)
If instead of "bullshit/no-bullshit" games were tagged with one of many predefined attributes like "pay to avoid grind" or "unremovable ads" it might benefit twofold. First because it becomes that much clearer when a person enters the game it should have that tag and that tag can be filtered by default and enables them to see why a certain game was already entered but not in the list without trying to resubmit. Second because people who don't mind a certain attribute are able to disable one of the default criteria if they want while still leveraging the others i.e. more flexibility in use.

Physical attractiveness is gold ... you're life more then likely will be an easier road. You have the opportunity to experience the many positives life has to offer (more frequently too) as they are easily obtained and or they just fall at your feet. I.e. dating apps you have tons of choice .. you do not ever have to be alone... you post pics on social media and get tons of likes.. you post pics of you and the beautiful family you created and get tons of likes... you use it to climb the professional ladder..use it as a social media influencer to make money. Beauty is worth more then gold as gold is more easily obtainable!

Overall it's interesting there a study about this as it seems so obvious. Tho I looked up lookism..is there a movement suddenly happening against attractive people?
Engineering ethics is quite a bit more than just "don't steal".
The subject you’re looking for is philosophy of mathematics. Here’s a good place to start [1]. Unfortunately, if you’re looking for certainty you won’t find it there. Philosophy of mathematics is fascinating but studying it will give you more questions but few answers. One advantage of studying that I will vouch for is that you’ll learn that most of the arguments you had were already thought of many years ago.

Can't DNS rebind to a "unix socket address" — feels like that by itself would considerably improve security for anything you're working on locally?
I'm not convinced that this is a good idea for a general purpose browser.

For web based desktop applications this might be a good solution. But there it is usually done with custom IPC. I think Electron can do it with custom protocols.

Listening on localhost is usually not a great solution. It's impossible to do HTTPS right this way (without HTTPS there is a danger of a MITM attack from an unprivileged process). Also authentication is an issue then, without authentication there is a possibility of an privilege escalation.
To be fair to the UI, there's also an 'Eject' option in the menu bar when you've selected the disk. There's also a keyboard shortcut. Dragging it to the trash is just more fun!

Actually, if memory serves, dragging to the trash was a shortcut for ejecting AND... what did they call it... putting it away, I think. Normal eject would leave a ghost of the floppy disk so when you inserted another one, you could copy from one floppy to another. You had to 'put away' to remove the ghost.
The bots can still do a git clone and index everything, this just inconveniences normal users working on "some other" PC (or browser or incognito tab), where they are not logged in, and/or don't want to log in (coworkers PC, 2fa, whatever).
I'm reminded of my quest for the plural of "status". -us being a Latin singular suffix... There ought to be a plural out there besides "statuses", which may be technically correct but gives no hint about the character of a status. Not like a "murder" of crows does.

I think it sort of branches out in three directions:

- state (all statuses at a single moment)

- gamut (a range of possible (mutually exclusive?) statuses)

- story (all statuses for a single object)

I'm not sure what's the use of such thoughts, but my mind enjoys thinking them: words as elements in a topological space.

I suppose it's handy for naming variables, but my coworkers don't typically like the names I come up with. I had a dict mapping strings to size-limited deques containing timestamps the other day which I called an AmnesicChronology. Didn't survive review.

Can you survive with only a MacBook and no external display?
I need a new Mac. I will use it for design and programming, especially Xcode. Now, I work with an old Intel iMac. I cannot update the software anymore. So, I cannot wait. These are the options that I consider.

1- MacBook Pro. M3 PRO. 14-inch. 11-core CPU, 14-core GPU, 18 RAM, 512GB SSD. 1,999.00 US.
- I love the look and feel
- It's powerful
- I cannot afford an Apple external display. I like very much the Studio Display, but I cannot pay 1,599 US.

I know there are a lot of cheaper non-Apple displays. I have searched a lot of them and try it. I do not like any of them. It's another philosophy that is very different from Apple. They are not for me. Before that, I would prefer an iMac.

2- iMac. M3. 24 inch. 8-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD. 1,899 US.
- I do not love it, but if I choose the silver color, it's ok… Sort of.
- Not very powerful for programming. But coming from an Intel iMac, I suppose it's an improvement.
- It has a decent screen. For me, it's better than any 17 non-Apple external displays. (I know, I know, not everybody will agree, and I respect that. It's a personal preference. I value other things beyond resolution and nits)
- I do not need to move much. On those rare occasions, I have an iPad.
- I suppose it's the best rational decision

I have to choose between power or screen, love or mind.

I would like to know the experience of other programmers. Would you be able to survive with a fantastic computer you love and a small screen?

If you only have 2,000, what would you do?

I think the electrons emit photons as a result of decelerating which is caused by the magnetic field (which can influence the charged electron).
And I’ve never actually pondered whether a proton changing its direction due to gravity (technically decelerating along its original path and accelerating along its new path) would emit photons. I don’t think it would because from its frame of reference it’s not accelerating… I need to do some homework, very interesting!

Edit: It seems a charged particle accelerating due to gravity will not emit photons.

Well, not all shops just blindly install docker, pull a docker compose stack and call it day.

Many of us out there compile their apps, stash into a cgroup or a jail and fire it. Just because mainstream developers using "that one thing", it doesn't mean that the whole world has abandoned other ways to do things.

I personally doesn't pull any big software package from an OCI registry, because I don't trust the installation and don't like the reduced configurability of the packages involved. If I'm lazy for that day, I pull Debian minimal, build the thing I need, push to our local registry and call it a day.

Otherwise I install that thing properly, run it under cgroups, or under its own VM if the workload warrants it, and get a mug of coffee.

> Nobody cares that jails are technically superior and far more elegant under the hood...

Believe me, some shops care.
Ran into the same issue. I think using ethernet instead of wifi was the solution (and maybe something with disabling ipv6? been a long time since I looked into it).
Only bummer: the MFC-9320CW I have had for over a decade now is no longer officially supported by Brother on macOS.

However, VueScan [1] - something I hadn't used since my Epson scanner in the mid 1990s - saved the day! They support scanning for it, and after a quick purchase I was able to scan from it again.

This sounds like shilling for the company, but just posting here if anyone has a similar problem to me. I wanted to scan something but macOS 14 (and maybe 13 or 12?) wouldn't work with my Brother multi-function scanner... although the printing still works fine.

Otherwise I'm still very happy with this scanner - one software purchase and one set of toner cartridges in over a decade is pretty good total cost of ownership :)

> OK, just democracy then. Try me.

How open are you to a counter-culture whose unironic goal is literally overthrowing the "democratic" regime we live under, replacing it with something genuinely democratic?

> I won't call you an employee of Putin unless you're proposing to replace democracy with feudalism, and even then I wouldn't do it....

My intuition suggests you are speaking not just honestly, but also truthfully. But I've spent a lot of time on forums arguing culture war issues, and rarely do those who say things like this say it truthfully (which can typically be discovered via a simple examination of their comment history). The distinction between truthfulness and lying is crucially important here, because while it is nice that people are sincere, if they are unable(!) to care about this important distinction, the odds of improving seem low (to solve a problem, one must first realize that one has a problem in the first place).

I don't understand how MITM could happen here? I'd assume that the server process would create the UNIX socket and then somehow open the path to the socket in the browser (or print a URL which a user can paste). If another process already has a UNIX socket at that path then surely the server process would just error?

I think using a UNIX socket instead of a TCP server for local HTTP development would be extremely useful. It solves most of the problems associated with creating a local TCP server (which everyone already does) without introducing new problems.
> all possible logical conclusions

I don’t think this is accurate. All logical conclusions would be a horrible mess of symbols because we don’t care about most of them (because they’re considered trivial) and the list would be infinite and filled with statements that are very similar to each other. The subject isn’t about brute force in that way.

It is more true to say that mathematics is about finding all meaningful / interesting logical conclusions from a given set of assumptions. What those two words mean is then the interesting question (and, of course, a matter of personal taste). Reality certainly has something to do with that choice, which is why I don’t think you can escape it. It’s fundamental to the subject, no matter how seemingly abstract you get.
Why I'm proud to be a non-code open-source contributor and you should be too
Quick read that showcases how you don't have to code to contribute to open source. In my own experience, I always felt like the open-source community was very accepting to newcomers—even if they didn't code.
> While they might not know the precise details, they know that a "Constitution for Europe" was rejected by French and Dutch voters in 2005, it was changed into a "Reform Treaty" in 2007 which meant most countries' voters didn't get a vote on it, and after Irish voters rejected that, they had to have a second referendum on the same treaty the year after.

But that's fine isn't it? After all, if we didn't get a 'Constitution for Europe' (which I'm ambivalent about) the treaty got us most of the benefits and as far as I can see today none of the drawbacks. Those drawbacks that were mentioned did not materialize, which seems to be the case with most EU law: there is an enormous amount of racket about how it will cause problems down the line but that almost never happens.

> They feel they have seen how EU law interacts with local law, and they don't like it.

Given how EU law has kept dutch politicians in line during the last decade or two I'm pretty happy with it. Without EU law NL would arguably in much worse shape re. international trade, privacy, anti-trust, agriculture, climate commitments and a whole bunch of other subjects.

Of course if you're a climate denier or you want to return back to the guilder none of those arguments matter but in general I see far more positives then negatives. Those local politicians that are clamoring the hardest for splitting from the EU bear the most scrutiny: likely their agenda requires a lack of oversight to succeed.

I have a cheapo Android phone I had laying around, used developer mode to make it always select tether instead of mass storage and I've got a (prepaid) data SIM in there.

When we travel the Beryl AX is our own hotspot, all devices can connect to its network. Then I just pick the best way to get the Beryl to the internet. Sometimes it's wired, sometimes it's connected to a WiFi, sometimes I need to plug in the phone and we use that.

And the best thing is that it can do failover, so I can have the hotel WiFi as the primary connection, but it'll fall back to the 4G phone connection if something goes wrong.
This is a great tip! On vacation I just went through the hell of looking for white noise apps that were all subscription. I ended up using a spotify track on loop. I sure wish I knew this existed already on my phone. Thank you.
> I would argue that the main reason it seems niche is because of the lack of browser support.

This can't be said enough times. Browser vendors should never, ever say "we're not supporting feature X because it's not popular enough, and other browsers don't support it" when lack of browser support is what's keeping it from getting popular. We'd literally never get any new features if they always used that logic.
The most realistic one is, that people will get fed up and register an account, and github can brag about how many new users they brought in.

The other side is, that existing users will get pissed at github, because they can't even search anymore without logging in, and sometimes that's a pain (not their pc, public pc, incognito tab, the time needed to do the 2fa, etc.).

Github can still keep the cheap, fast basic search for users not logged in, but they didn't.
The kinds of people averse to user accounts wouldn't be using ("participating in") Github in the first place.

Or to put it another way: It's a surprise you need a Github account to use ("participate in") Github?
You going to be upset if someone else makes a fork and charges for use of it? You want that not to happen, or to have you name on it when it does, or to have a share of any money?

I think we need to know more about your goals, what you want to achieve here.

If its just fill your own need, and let the rest of the world use that and maybe even build on it, but you dont really give a shit once your happy, then MIT would be a great choice.

If you're concerned with how people use your code then you probably want something more restrictive.
Agreed. If this is indeed a resource issue and they want to just block crawlers/bots/anonymous users from using lots of resources then perhaps having the old "less resource intense search" for users who aren't logged in and having the new "more resource intense search" for users who are logged in would be an improvement.
I'm a human, yet I am unable to get past Steam's captcha. It is not the only site that I cannot prove to not be a robot. I'm guessing the number of collateral damage is worth it to them. I'm not a big gamer, and wouldn't be a big source of revenue for them anyway.
"Tech innovation" these days means gating hardware features behind a subscription tier like BMW or Tesla do.
This issue blows it way out of proportions. The code is still freely available, Github just doesn't want to give away resources for free because it's a for-profit company.
If you're mad at a for-profit company for not giving away things for free, you're simply delusional.
