Big fan of Pushover. Use it for personal notifications from my own monitoring systems and a handful of applications I used regularly. Never paid anything other than that one-time fee. The ROI on that $5 I spent on it has been incredible.
We'll need a welfare program for serial killers, and have to find new (menial) jobs for apprentices.
Is that "big-ram" or "bi-gram"?
The central bank wouldn't just sit there and allow the money supply to increase unbounded. They'd turn their knobs so the money supply would remain more per less constant.
>You can't get non-wireless (/non-battery-powered) noise cancelling headphones. Go on, try and find some.

Well, you'll need battery or USB power at the headphone anyway. And bringing in a connection from a computer is a great way to bring in noise over the power or jack without proper filtering.

Also I'm 99% sure my Sony and Bose noise cancelling phones had an input jack (mini?) that could be plugged in to devices.
There are special clauses. Look up the OpenAI purple box.
Sidebar but it’s very annoying how it now takes me a moment to think if people are talking about a social media website or an open source graphical server when I see “X” being discussed in a tech context.
Excellent and timely share, thanks.
There are killings and exploitation for a lot of other things, gold, diamonds, rare earths, coffee, avocados you name it.
> Unless you really need a specific version, let those gems be free

A wet dream of anyone looking for a method to perform a supply chain attack.
>- Put all build/publish/test logic in Makefiles or scripts in the repo. This means that devs can run it locally as well. The only interaction between a test runner and the codebase should be running `make <target>`.

This always breaks because then each platform has a specific way of defining env vars or secrets for those Makefiles and bash scripts. End result is devs still can't really run CI "proper" the way it's configured in a runner.
There are various apps that let you do this, including the open source kde connect. Google slides or PowerPoint (online or desktop) all use the arrow keys to advance, so it's super easy to integrate with. The app just connects to a tiny desktop program that pretends to be a keyboard.
What might be confusing is that iterating an object iterates its values. add is defined something like this: def add: reduce .[] as $n (0; . + $n)
How beginner friendly do you think the book is? Asking as someone who's completely new to R (and data-related fields in general) who thinks the book might be interesting.
I read HN for the links, because of the quantity, and lobste.rs for the comments, because of the quality.
The wired earbuds that shipped with my Samsung phone are noise canceling as well
If you did this the straightforward way, basically combining a USB power brick with an USB C GBit Ethernet adapter and a powerline adapter into one compact housing, that would be one heavy chunky $200-$300 brick.

And now you don't have to worry about the flakiness of WiFi, but instead have to worry about the speed of your powerline (which can vary greatly throughout a building depending on how the wires are run). You are probably better off strategically placing wifi range extenders connected via powerline.
This isn't win32 or posix. You'd be surprised how often Android breaks APIs for no fucking reason. It's a Google product, after all.
TSMixer: Time Series Mixer for Forecasting
Well said. My immediate thought was to a legal expression as well, "de minimis non curat lex", "the law does not concern itself with trifles."

Leveraging edge cases to form one's understanding of a concept seems to leave one more concerned with the marginal than the broader topic at hand. It's a well written article, just not how I personally aim to taxonomize these days.
tldr; don't simply listen to others and go with the flow, do your own research and be brave
Have fun trying to sue an Israeli malware company into compliance. The reason so many malware companies operate out of Israel is because the Israeli government shields them from consequences.
> Before the authorities came to seize the shipment, corrupt cops tried to bribe the port custom employees to gain temporary access to the container (basically to steal part of the shipment before it'd be officially weighted).

Link please.

> consumers of cocaine have their share of responsibility too

Arguably the gov't does also for creating the market by outlawing the stuff. But that's never discussed by anti-drugs people (BTW I'm not pro-drugs, before you assume)
Cocaine was always easily available in Antwerp from my experience (~1995-2010). More so than weed which was always a little surprising given it’s not far to the Dutch border.

Friends of mine worked at customs both for the Belgian authorities and the US ones.

Antwerp did have a reputation for corruption. There’s too much money involved.
You would do well to remember father time is the only one that always wins
If the company leaves profit on the table based on e.g. moral reasons, shareholders have grounds to sue and typically win.

Why is it so hard for people to accept that for profit means for profit?
For those that did not know (like myself), you can slide the right hand panel to expose more parameters/controls
Regulatory risk is the biggest component to economic viability.
To be fair, I've never seen a company turn around a licensing fiasco as well as Jetbrains did.

Initial announcement, 2015: https://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2015/09/03/introducing-jetbr...

Community anger a couple days later:
https://bytecrafter.blogspot.com/2015/09/how-jetbrains-lost-...

Significant changes after hearing the feedback, a couple weeks later:
https://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2015/09/18/final-update-on-t...

I'd trust Jetbrains -- as a company with a few decades of experience serving devs and only devs -- much more than your typical get-rich-quick cloud SaaS startup that's just looking for a quick exit.

Yes, they need income too, but they're one of those few tech companies not aiming for hypergrowth, just a sustained user base.

Even though VScode gets all the love these days, and Atlassian and Github and CircleCI etc. get all the enterprise use, they've made some really cool products of their own too (Space, TeamCity). And their IDEs continue to be excellent.

It's not like TeamCity even has a secret catch... their cloud version DOES have a monthly cost already. It's only the self-hosted version that's free.
It probably would be massively beneficial to society and progress if teaching professors could spend more time and attention on teaching.
The Relationship Between Hybrid Warfare and Cognitive Threats
"Cognitive superiority can be seen as the goal of modern information and cyber warfare, relying on access to information, pervasive surveillance, personalized persuasion, and new technologies. One of the takeaways from the symposium was that cognitive superiority is nothing new – it is part of or included in hybrid threats, but there is also a cognitive domain. Hence, we must start to think about hybrid threats in a more sophisticated way."

Italics added. A sign of things to come, maybe, I am not sure.
The latter part is not legal as far as I know, which then makes the first part moot. Unfortunately, I cannot find a good reference for this from the FSF's website, I am going off of memory. But I believe this matter is precisely one of the reasons not to use a liberal licence, or be wary of contributing to liberally-licensed projects.
Yes, that's true, although it doesn't actually explain the weirdness. I compile Clang all the time and there's no obvious reason why you'd get cross-compiled binaries out of Clang if you just compile and install it normally. The bug, configuration or otherwise, is the weirdness.
Those are battery powered, though. (And judging by the reviews not very good, and suspiciously cheap, so not really the same quality of product.)

I spent a LONG time looking for wired noise-cancelling headphones a year or two ago without success. By this I mean headphones where the noise-cancelling electronics can be powered over USB. It seemed obvious to me to design a pair of headphones with a USB audio interface which powered noise cancelling. But nope, doesn't exist.

Even worse all the wireless noise cancelling headphones I find, including high end ones, automatically turn off when you charge them. So you can't actually use them when they're charging. I'm certain companies do this due to some kind of liability paranoia about a battery igniting when someone's wearing them, but the result is that the entire product class seems to be literally designed to put an upper bound on how much you can use the product. I find this insane.
I big kudos to the author of this.

Steel – An embeddable and extensible Scheme dialect
> People who wish to harm others will harm others regardless, the only thing that will stop them is consequences. On the other hand, people who don't wish harm to others will not harm others regardless of whether they believe objective categories or objective morality exists.

This discounts that there are those who wish to harm others who aim to persuade others still to look the other way or even join in on the harm. If the only argument against them is that they'll face consequences, they only have to grow their numbers large enough to avoid said consequences.

To say nothing of those who'll argue against there being any consequences in the first place.
Is there a design reason why the example does “new lowstorage” on each hono endpoint?
There seems to be plenty of cobol transpilers - anybody know why they can’t use those. Immediate thought was it’s just beating on the dead Watson horse.
Not a fan of having to beg for an invitation. Seems like HN is able to handle moderation with a small crew.
The "news" stories related to the incident are sensational. One claimed the Youtuber speaks perfect American English for a global audience but bribed an English exam center (necessary to migrate to a lucrative career in other countries) to pass. Damn exams dont capture her fluency which she demonstrates to a large global audience! Turns out she uses a computer generated voice.
The packages from F-Droid are signed with F-Droid's keys, so AFAIK the Play Store can't overwrite them without prompting the user to remove and replace the F-Droid versions. Please correct me if I'm wrong on this point.
Coincidentally, in the wake of the Gino/Ariely scandals, I was reviewing the "state of scientific research opinion" about "grit" and "mindset."

The verdict from google is that many of the initial news-making studies have failed to replicate, in other words, "grit" and "mindset" probably don't concretely exist, and don't have any practical application.
Which requires disabling/bypassing/breaking system integrity checks, because, you know, ads are essential part of the OS
that is what Gemfile.lock is for. You are not getting a new version unless you do ask for it explicitly.
Invite doesn't always guarantee insightful comments.
I dunno... seems like its an AvP situation -- whoever wins, we lose.
I had a lobster account and a bunch of invites once upon a time. Totally forgot about it. Closed gate HN never really appealed to me.
Regarding IBM's use of technology widely known for hallucinating to translate sensitive source code: it sounds weird you think the primary objective here is to deliver something that properly translates from one language to another. But it is not - the primary objective is to get money from customers and investors. Delivering something that works is secondary, and honestly, optional.

Many things in IT start making a whole lot more sense once you reexamine your beliefs about their purpose.
So much subsidies, that governments in EU are putting 50%+ tax on gas and diesel.
Of everything I've tried, gitlab co is my favourite. It's just a shell script, and that makes it super simple to replicate yourself locally, and - I think most importantly - it's really obvious what it's doing.
I think that's my biggest problem with Jenkins and GitHub and such is all the plugins that do something, but without digging through the source code you cannot work out what they really do
Chicken and egg, companies stop paying, say no devs, devs not interested as no companies paying for it.
Tell me that COBOL to Java porting pays $150K p/a and I'll be happy to take the job, at least for a year or 3.
Those are just as easy when using the standard "semver compatible with the specified version" approach. The lockfile will prevent such attacks on build, and on upgrade it doesn't really matter security wise if the new version has the same major version.
They discuss under "invitation tree" how it's possible to get an invite if you want one.

I don't have an account although a couple things I wrote got posted there, if I'd realized it at the time that apparently qualifies me.

Overall I don't know if the quality is better than HN, even if the SNR is higher, there is just so much less total that the sum of good stuff is lower. It's almost completely free of politics, gossip, non-tech stuff though which is nice. For example I don't think any of the OpenAI drama was covered there.

Otoh the links posted there are essentially a subset of what's posted on HN.
Man, these Bayformers are just getting uglier.
The CIA (and etc) need secure, reliable, public communications to exist, in some measure.

If their agents are the only people sending encrypted traffic, that's bad. Gotta have some cover. If you can harvest the other users' conversations, thats a bonus but one thats hard to use. because of the risk of tipping those users off to the fact and having your cover traffic vanish.
Because inflation doesn’t exist, it’s an invented idea.

If nobody told you that inflation was 8%, you’d only increase your prices if you had a reason to. That reason could be increased demand, increased costs. Those could come about from increased money supply but that would be slow and unlikely.

When the government announces inflation will be 8%, everyone puts their prices up by 8% + 3%. Inflation is therefore 11%. Even though none of them even had a reason to do it.

That 11% price increase then inflates their balance sheet. This surplus lets them give it to the wealthy or splurge on stupid things like buying twitter.

The wealthy then have an inflated bank balance. This surplus lets them buy investments or splurge on stupid things.

These purchases then cause prices to increase. Which signals the government to announce that prices should increase more…
Maybe it's not your intention, but from your comments it comes across like you're putting very little value on other people's work. It was probably a substantial effort that took years to bring these projects to the usability and popularity that they achieved. Again, i'm not sure why did the user above find it problematic to have a paid version of the app on Google Play, and the same version with the same features distributed for free on F-Droid.
Q: 'How many Starship launches are needed to execute the Artemis III lunar landing?'

I’d be curious to know how we’re defining “overpaying” here. These companies have effectively accrued 50+ years of technical debt (they could have migrated off COBOL decades ago). Meanwhile, based on my limited experience with these industries, I’d be surprised if they even offer market rates to new hires.
I'm so much more happy with GitLab CI. The only thing that is easy to implement in Jenkins, but an outright horror in anything else, is the usual "helper scripts" stuff: sync the production database to integration (and remove PII in the process), run reports and data analysis... the best way I've figured out to implement this is to create an empty branch (git checkout --orphan helper_xyz) and then run pipelines against this branch either manually or on a scheduler, but it sucks.

And this is what keeps Jenkins afloat, despite it being a consistent source of CVEs both in core and in its myriad of plugins that don't bother to follow semantic versioning so every upgrade is playing Russian roulette with your company.
Note how they carefully avoid naming an actual tokens/second number for any gpu.
Restraint is not necessarily a show of weakness. The rebels behind the attack claimed only to have attacked two Israeli vessels but did not claim (possibly did not know) an intended attack against the US ship. Retaliating in this case would definitely escalate the fight, there are many good reasons to avoid doing that.
From my experience in invite-only forums, it can only assure some bottom line (mainly, fewer troll posts), but it doesn't help at all on the quality of comments.

The only thing I saw that ever significantly improved the quality of comments is vote-based comment system when it firstly started to emerge (I'm thinking Reddit in its first few years). But unfortunately it nowadays has been gamed to death, probably even worse than old public forums.
Show me an elite performer and I can give you a broken individual with the right kind and amount of torture.

Luck is a big factor in a person's success and it's influence shouldn't be under-rated, the biggest element being where and to whom you are born.
For many of these there are fixes.

I've had people try the env issue thing. I asked them to never try longer than 15 minutes to solve an env issue by themselves. Post on the public dev channel for help or ask me privately if they don't feel comfortable with it (it happens, that's OK). A lot of people just aren't good at troubleshooting env issues and I happen to be good at it even if I have never had that issue and I keep an eye on others posting and often can find a solution for people quickly. It's amazing how many people can't read error output, especially stack traces, and figure out which is the relevant message to search by.

Broken CI same thing really. And it's easy to compare if it's just them or everyone's builds are broken.

Complexity I offer help. Pairing for as long as needed. I've had a few guys where it became clear here that they really just weren't good. There are many signs here that you can collect and document. I've also done Re-implementations from scratch (not looking at their code) in some instances, proving their "hidden complexity" that took a week to not solve took me literally an hour to code down.
This is AMAZING! I'm about to go into Uni and this will be useful for my ML classes.
A 'goon squad' of deputies got away with years of brutality
These systems have not been running untouched for 60 years. Regulatory environments change almost constantly and the code has to be updated accordingly. I don’t personally know anyone writing COBOL but I’m certain there’s plenty of people doing it. And to change the code you have to know it. So there’s really no 60 year old code that no one knows anymore.

Also, at this point, if you are running on a dead platform and language and you know it, and haven’t addressed it, then it’s on you. I’ve been seeing these COBOL articles since the 2000s I believe.
Being harder to update is the point.

With ruby being untyped and lazy evaluated, it's even worse. If any library's api changes between versions, unless you're sure you have a unit test for that function, it'll happily deploy and crash in production.

Plus as long as you're using a service like snyk.io to make sure that you're covering security vulnerabilities, there's usually not much reason to updating if it works.
Aside from the docker snipe I've already commented on, everywhere that I've had to deal with Jenkins it's been an issue because it's always a pet.

There are always issues, and like the author, it's "only" about 25% of the time.
A quarter of all builds fail due to things absolutely not related to that specific build.

> oh, we were resource constraint at that one second, retry and it'll probably work

> oh, we can't replicate that error message from a tool that you have no visibility over, retry and it'll probably work

> oh, we have no idea why something timed out, retry and it will probably work

Now when I have a failed build I don't actually trust the build before I don't trust that there was an edge case in an integration test that failed. Because it's almost always something outside of the code.

[Edit] downvotes but no constructive responses? The issue isn't necessarily Jenkins, it's the type of people who use Jenkins to roll their own everything.

The six-pin LEMO connector carries both power and audio.
I once found a nice open source ambient noise generator on F-Droid. Fully local, offline.

One day the developer decided to switch to a pay SaaS model. They updated the open source app to be a thin client for their web service.

Surely many existing users on the play store found quite a surprise when they updated!

F-Droid at least provides a little protection here, with the independent builds and easy downgrades, and if the community is big enough you see forks appear. But sadly this kind of cashing in is always going to be a risk with open source software in app stores.
I've noticed in the poorest HCOL areas, you've got several low income workers all chipping in for the rent. There's nothing stopping them from trying to move out on their own using their UBI funds. For first movers, they'll increase their quality of life by living by themselvesor less people, but rent prices would quickly rise. You're right in the housing. The only thing that can drop prices is incresed supply and that's not going to happen.
I'm talking about the effects of wealth redistribution vs. money supply expansion. Redistribution doesn't necessarily increase prices since the total amount of purchasing power in the market doesn't change. It's certainly not as simplistic as "rent gets increased in proportion to the amount of the UBI" as you're implying.
TL;DR:

- Apollo simple, Apollo success.

- Artemis very complex, many unknowns.

- Stated reasons for doing things are clearly not the real reasons.

- Providing honest negative feedback seems to be the the key to success.

- Artemis engineers might fear talking honestly.

The permanent fund is proceeds from taxes on the sales of oil and other minerals. There's no difference here.
One might argue that a covert response at an unpredictable delay is a more impactful deterrent
The article only briefly touches on the real issue: lack of proper tests (pre- and post-deployment) so you have minimal confidence your release is good enough.

Every time I hear about maintenance windows and no deployment on Fridays, it tells me more than I wanted to know about the company's practices.
Good posts on software more reliably get to the top of lobste.rs than on HN in my experience. Whereas on HN you're competing with a wide variety of topics. Lobste.rs is pretty focused on just hardware/software hacking.

I don't mean that negatively. I'm glad we talk about varied topics on HN. But it's also nice to have a place that almost only talks about software/hardware.

Sometimes I've thought about starting a "software internals" forum but then I remember that's basically exactly what lobste.rs already is.
