I learnt to work on cars because they are nessessary part of life and if you cant fix them your going to be paying that tax everyday of your life. Ditto with computers and software. You know what else has become a nessesity as we grow into a more technological dependant society, learning about electronics. Being able to indentitf circuts, components, debug and replace them. Check out learn electronics repair / northridgefix on youtube if you want to get started. Hardware and software are very similiar, they follow the same principles, they are all made in the same ways, and just as software uses libraries/packages, hardware often will look exactly the same in each device. I bought an assortment of 1000 tactile switches for $10 off ebay, and Ive fixed atleast 5 appliances in the last year with them (head torches, vacume, washer etc).

If you dont, your tax will be to be a victim of the companies profit stratergy of planned obselesance. My dyson for instance was perfectly fine, just a peice of plastic in the handle that required you to dissassemble the whole machine was cracked. It was literly a free fix with some plastic welding a screwdriver.

PS. You can buy universal kits that will control a washer or a dryer these days in a low tech way amoung many other devices we use daily. When your smart appliance fails, you can retrofit them.

PSS. Your software/hacker spirit should not be limited to a text editor!
Wouldn't it be based on send volume from your domain, and not send volume via your sending IP / smarthost?
Off-topic: there is a “wtf” domain extension?!
Also probably going to speed up language extinction :(
We could bundle Jekyll in an .exe file using ocran and maybe even add a GUI... I'm willing to make that, but would people use it?
Conceptually similar to Japan's Iyashike genre.

Oh the humanity not the terminal!!!

I don't know where to begin with this. "here's a challenge for you developers" who exactly are they expecting to find this an interesting task that is worth their time to work on?

If you want it and/or think it should exist, then I'm not stopping you from making it. If you think I should make it, surprisingly, I do not.

Buy squarespace if you don't want to know anything.

You will only have the same problem tomorrow at some other level. Then it will be "you only think clicking on a tar file and figuring out where to unpack it (or where it was even downloaded) is easy because it's easy for you" yeah ok got it.

It’s a basic premise of MMT that you need taxes to take money out of the economy to check inflation.
As a self-hoster for over a decade, setting up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are pretty much once-and-done and free, so there's pretty much no downside. I'd be shocked if most self-hosters haven't set these up long ago.
I've started playing around with using the ResponseRecorder from httptest to create a middleware that records the response from a handler and then deals with it appropriately:

- if it's an error then display an actual error page (or redirect to login, or whatever)
- if it's 200 OK then minimise the logging to just "successfully processed request for GET /foo?bar"

I like OP's way of dealing with the "http.Error then return" problem, especially since I usually find I'm also logging the error (so slog.Error, then http.Error, then return, which is painful since I'm repeating myself for the Error calls). But I don't like messing with the http.Handler interface. I think there's an approach involving both - like creating a type that implements http.Handler and handles logging, error reporting and error redirection while still allowing the core function to just "return err". I'm going to experiment with this. Thanks for the thought OP :)

I remember working with Juniper equipment a decade ago (I didn't like it because I've traditionally worked exclusively with Cisco equipment), but I haven't heard anyone in my circles mention Juniper since. Are they considered a niche vendor today (similar to Novell in the 2000s)?
My addition to title: “If you send >5000 emails a day.”

Posthaven has very helpful (free) tools for setting up this stuff. Also GPT has a good understanding of the dns records needed.
Tom Wolfe: The Electric Kool-Aid Conservative
That is a much worse setup than what you were replying to. I've seen so many issues caused by centralized version control that Git - and yes, GitHub too - will never experience.
They might pay creators a fraction of what they make on ads or other extras (digital bullshit like emotes), but none of that is in exchange for the content. The content is still being developed, written, produced, performed, and provided to the platforms entirely for free.

Unless there's some kind option where youtube or twitch signs a contract with select creators and then hands them huge sums of cash upfront for the costs of future content production, or to license the creator's existing content to distribute via youtube/twitch then the cost of getting that content is still just as free for youtube/twitch as it is for the pirate streamers that upload bluray rips.

Ad revenue is money gained from advertisers at the expense of viewers, it's entirely separate from the cost of the content being viewed.
Not true. As zero values are to be useful, one should never have to observe the error state unless the error is significant to the caller for some reason. Sometimes the error is significant. Sometimes it isn't. That depends on what the caller's needs are. Summing the error makes assumptions about the caller that may or may not be true. That is a bad API design.
I find it mildly devious when numbers are inflated by changing the period from seconds to days.

Aeron and NSQ have slightly different design principles. Which can easily be identified in their feature list. Aeron’s origins are exchanges for fintechs and focus on predictable low latency with a tight standard deviation. NSQ puts heavy emphasis on being a distributed broker less message queue. Performance alone probably isn’t a good basis to measure their utility.
In practice I think people who care about deliverability have already instituted these measures ... because spam blocking measures at Big Email are so opaque you’ve tried everything/anything. And it’s not that difficult.
Looks like a release about 2 weeks ago but otherwise not sure.
wait do the ads roll based on time since viewer connected?

Back in the day the streamer would take a break and roll some ads, so you knew you didn't miss anything ...
Does AI Have Buddha Nature?
The issue is you are thinking too narrowly by only looking at payments per view, ad, etc. Influencers don't care so much about that so much as the value of views as a metric. They don't get paid by the platform, they get payed by their audience and especially by advertisers for product reviews, placement, etc. But just like twitter, tiktok is full of people with no serious plans to get famous who put effort into making content. Same with HN. It's fun to shout creatively into the void when you get a bit of validation back in the form of conversations, arbitrary points, views, etc.

I think I just threw up in my mouth.
So how did that work out for him?
Probably that’s the scenario. You want something simple and narrowly focused. Advanced and infinitely configurable isn’t always a virtue.
I write web server creation tools, so I'm somewhat familiar with this space.

I'm not sure I'd recommend shared hosting setups. If you're going that route then you might as well host on WordPress.com or squarespace or whatever.

The logical place to serve is of course from your home machine. These days there are lots of users with good access, good enough to serve. Assuming you don't have a crappy ISP that blocks incoming ports.

Even with a dynamic IP address its trivial for a server to keep its domain updated. (Use a DNS provider that supports APIs, like DNSimple.)

But I'm not sure that the actual headline of this article is necessary. Making your own Web server is easy already. If you don't have the time, or skill, to set up a box now, then you likely don't have the understanding of how much is needed "long term".

Web serving is not like posting to Instagram. It's not fire and forget. It takes long-term maintainence. Keep that DNS alive (with money). Keep that server software updated. Understand "this folder on my machine is public". Keep a casual eye on the automatic certificates. Don't freak out when you see endless scripts probing with strange requests. Monitor the comments section (you want engagement right? Until you discover all your sign ups and comments are spammers.)

So yeah, there's a barrier to entry. But perhaps that's a good thing. Perhaps a "minimum level of effort" acts as a barrier to keep the really unsafe behaviours from becoming universal.

Put another way, my mom should not be hosting a Web server, regardless of how easy it is to do.
Formatting the if onto a single line gets you most of the way there.

if err != nil { return err }
Apple Approves the HEY Calendar
Which, even if that assumption were true, is still bonkers, because from what I see in the article they had no partitioning between tenants or permissions checks for different user roles. So even if they hadn't accidentally allowed creating new accounts, any account on any one of their existing customers had full access to every row in the database.
It's not that surprising that persuasion is more effective on more advanced models.

As Hinton said, predicting the next token takes knowledge. And as we've seen, complex models develop linear representations of world models.

We should expect that more advanced models trained on anthropomorphic data should be vulnerable to anthropomorphized persuasion techniques.

The more surprising thing is the bull headed resistance to this idea we continue to see so commonly.
Yeah it's blocked, how to check if sites are blocked
I keep my shell history in sqlite database since 2017. Around 120k records at this point. Never synced history from the work laptops. Only personal history.

In 2017 wrote my own bash script (later optimized for zsh) to just record everything in sqlite with hooks on prompt. [1]

I mostly work right now on Mac, don't need to support Linux anymore, so wrote an app for Mac, that syncs the history over iCloud, and has a GUI interface. [2]

Anyway, storing years of shell history somewhere, where you can do complex searches, and actually find some magic command you run a few years ago, is priceless.

When it comes to natural medicine, the FDA loves to capitalize on instances of adulteration and mislabeling. This enables them to trumpet the allegedly unsafe nature of anything they don't regulate, and lets them spread F.U.D. about those products, until finally they can yank it all from the market.

There are plenty of reputable manufacturers who wouldn't think of adulterating medicine or misleading their customers, but all it takes is a couple sleazy Chinese vendors on Amazon to spoil the entire apple-barrel.
Indeed, self-hosted email is commonly rejected despite doing all these things.

Google et al have successfully turned email into the domain of a few SaaS, and at half of them blatant spammers can message millions with no record of consent with the most obvious scams and have it delivered into the inbox. Hell, most spam these days I get from hacked Gmail accounts. The game is rigged, as they say.
I remember Juniper making news way back when by using FreeBSD as the OS for the router and that was supposed to have saved them a bunch of development resources and earned a bunch of nerd cred.
It'd be great to also upload a tar.gz or something to the internet archive as well.

Highly doubt that.
Why Instagram failed to become TikTok
SPF only authenticates the envelope-from, whereas it's DKIM that takes care of the From: header. Without DKIM, one can easily do "EHLO randomspamdomainboughtyesterday.com" and "From: accounts@citibank.com". SPF is about the transport, DKIM is about the content.

And to round it out, DMARC tells the receiver what to do when the SPF or DKIM tests fail, namely "report", "quarantine", or "reject". Not sure why they're requiring it when it doesn't affect a spam verdict. Maybe it's so those who run a misconfigured server can't complain if their mail is being dropped silently, google and yahoo can just tell them to switch the policy to "report".
My work has been buying Juniper switches lately since CISCO has largely priced us out.
How does anybody compete when the government insiders merge with the corporations? This is China tier.
Twitch should de-boost such content. That's the easiest method. Super easy to implement and moderate, no waffling on the rules, users are kept happy.
Sag-Aftra Signs Deal with Voiceover Studio for AI Use in Video Games
I've always thought similarly about Uber. All they're doing is providing the platform and don't have to supply cars, drivers, etc. They basically take a cut on all rides worldwide and just have to supply a map solution. It seems to me they should be pretty damn profitable.
The name is very misleading!

Was that a deliberate misdirection? Not sure. Apparently, Elon Musk takes credit for the name and wanted the company's products to be open source. However, Musk has said a lot of things about companies he is involved with that later turn out to be untrue.
I actually find your second example confusing and ambiguous.

>“No,” Dex said. Formal study had its place, but they’d done that before, and learning by doing was an equally valid path. “I want to self-teach.”

Who is the "they" here? Remember that we haven't been told that Dex is a genderless person yet. Which means "they" probably means more than one person. My first guess would be that he and Sister Mara had studied together in the past.

Other guesses, some of which I entertained while reading the book, would be that Dex is either reminiscing about the people they went to school with, has multiple personality disorder, is part of a hive mind, or the author is just bad at the English language.

They idea that Dex is genderless and using "they" to deal with that didn't even occur to me until much later.

Did you know that "you" used to only be used in plural? I imagine the transition period to singular/plural was also confusing to readers.
Usually when talking about spam filtering it's based on sending IP and not domain names (domains are still important, but IP addresses are usually the first thing that is being evaluated), although admittedly Google is vague on what constitutes "5,000 mails per day".
I believe the reason behind it is more petty or silly (pick you poison).

A lot of bigger developers, especially streaming services, got spooked by the fact that users can inspect the .app bundle and look inside, with assets easy to copy.

In response a lot of big developers disabled the option because I guess security through obscurity sounds appealing.
I'd say that chatgpt can solve half of the nix problems that I bother confront it with. Half of them it solves it on the first go, for the remainder I have to go back and forth with it for 4x longer than it would have taken me to solve it on my own.

Typically these are troubleshooting a flake for a project. I think it works because flakes are nice and self contained: you can paste the whole flake. I find it does significantly worse when trying to help with contributions to nixpkgs, presumably because the context is not bite sized.
I think it's great to see more women moving into full time open source careers. We don't have many!
I wonder whether there is a way to use existing model weights (e.g. from open llms) to populate other types of models with a set of weights closer to final state than where'd they would have started from scratch. I am very much speaking from a position of ignorance, but being mechanistically derived.....
FWIW, Mini splits are very DIY'able. I was surprised to learn they don't cost much more than an air conditioner. In 2021, I bought and installed a 12k BTU for around $850. HVAC companies seem to charge an arm and a leg - my neighbor put a 2-head unit and I think they paid around 6k.
A K8s progressive delivery tool
I might be in the minority here, but IMO that snippet does not look nicer and looks pretty ugly. You've got like 3 things going on all jumbled together.

I would not want to encounter that line of code in the wild, or 3 months after writing it, and attempt to parse what it's doing.
This. So much.

I kinda do hate Wordpress. I hate that it's so inefficient. It optimises for authors not readers, in that it's easy for authors to create sites and posts, but to display a post to a reader it has to fetch everything from the database and then process all the PHP code into HTML and only finally actually serve it to the user. It needs an actual server, and a database, and all that maintenance and updates, etc.

I want Hugo with a GUI (and ideally runs on a phone). Something that pushes to a static page (so free hosting on Git??b/Cloudflare/whatever) but doesn't make me jump through all the hoops that Hugo does.
You're probably thinking of recent SEC regulations requiring disclosure for public companies - https://www.sec.gov/news/statement/gerding-cybersecurity-dis...

As a zachtronics' fan I also recommend "Opus Magnum" and "Exapunks". In Exapunks you need to learn a new assembly-like language and use it to command your robot agent. I had a ton of fun in it.

I remember I only played the first few challenges of Human Resource Machine. The puzzles felt a little too easy, and solving them wasn't very challenging, so I never went on to the later parts.
I think you missed the point of trying to make the largest image dimensions within the smallest file size. It looks like you're describing the opposite.
That's what I'm saying. It's far more valuable to use Airdrop surveillance as a deterrent than it is to actually try gaining intelligence on systems they already control.
IIUC their advertising machine isn't quite as general as the networks of Google and Meta, and gains a large portion of its revenue from ads on Amazon Retail, which may not be competitive.

It's a guess as to the root cause.
Personally I find your ordinary English writing more fluent seeming, and the LLM version seems more like a foreign speaker doing somewhat awkward, choppy, mildly ungrammatical line-by-line translation.

That might be confirmation bias though.

Neither of them is a dazzling gem of English prose style, but both of them seem more than fine as effective communication from a non-native speaker/writer. I certainly couldn't do any better writing in a second language. So I say write with whichever process brings you more joy or seems more convenient.
ooh cute thanks!
what if it was backed by sqlite instead?
Ah, privacy extension for your browser (which, of course, gets to have the permissions to read a lot of stuff that you read in it) from the captcha company itself. A company that is de-facto middlemen collecting 80% of internet traffic (with the ability to decrypt it) and the company that also regularly performs DDoS attacks on websites which are not yet under its so called shield. Sigh. You guys, you'll be history. Vanishing before anyone can even remember what the company name was. See, how can anyone threaten you like this without you just laughing it off, or ignoring it, or simply disregarding as some garbage unsubstantiated claims? And is this a threat? No, it isn't. You won't need any outside help with the vanishing. And the employees, who craft your code, laboring under the illusion they're doing good - some of them will wake up. Some will perish. And some will turn on you.

If I didn't know what I was talking about... then maybe, maybe, you could've said it's rubbish. But I've dealt with you. You're just another parasite. Only, a slightly less sophisticated in that the pace at which you consumed the web will be amplified when that same web consumes you, eventually. Maybe this world deserves parasites, but a better class of.

I’ll preface this by saying that I generally agree with the points you make.

The way the EU looks/looked at this is via monthly active users however, so active users of specific stores was actually relevant.

They realized that this would only put iOS in their crosshairs so they started changing their definition and that’s what Apple is arguing against.
I was just thinking, I wish that silly thing Reddit did was done again somewhere less popular but with a truly ridiculous waste of computation also.
Not to be pessimistic, but consider the applicant pool MrBruh targets here. One wonders how widely people with the sort of research skills and communication habits you describe are represented in the population applying for a fry cook position at a Checkers franchise. Or even amongst the franchisees themselves...

And for that matter, how that kind of initiative would be received by your potential future manager at the drive-thru.

I feel like I sound a little patronizing, but my broader point is it’s not other people’s job to be responsible for this kind of data security, especially in a relationship so imbalanced as that between a job seeker and the potential employer who offers only one pathway to gainful employment.

As to the remedy you propose, I’m reminded of the inimitable @patio’s Seeing Like A Bank [0], where he points out that banks (like other firms) use techniques like the paper letter that you described as subtle shibboleths to distinguish people who are likely sophisticated customers from the rank and file.

I'm not sure what you consider to be the source(s) of "emotional abuse" for a Help Desk or call center employee, but nobody who works on the phones for customers is required to endure any sort of egregious verbal abuse from them. Such a worker should be free to warn them, and then hang up or refer the to management as appropriate.

It is certainly a good skill to be able to defuse situations where the customer is angry and ranting, but there is hopefully no personal or intimate connection with said customers, and that's really the key to effective emotional abuse. Likewise, the worker is hopefully not enduring emotional abuse from coworkers or management in the course of their jobs, although this is also a possible thing.
The original comment questioned why the person in the article would be concerned about an employee receiving an email containing a request for a date. The answer is that they would have concerns because the worker is on the clock and it is costing them money to have their employee spend time dealing with the request (even if ultimately ignored).

Somehow that turned into my objection, which was illogical. It didn't make sense then and it makes even less sense that it keeps coming up. It has no relevance to the thread... or life in general.
