The newest status update I could find is this [0] but that's over a year old too. Honestly I would rather if they worked on providing ARM64 packages. I know about and use Arch Linux ARM but that's a completely different project with different people and even fewer resources, which often manifests in broken packages (right now generating initramfs fails without manual intervention [1]). I remember for a long time Arch Linux didn't have any build servers and packagers mostly used their own machines to build packages. Not sure what's the current state of things but if that's still the case, then it's quite understandable that not everybody has an ARM64 machine to build on.

For me, the first task would be to make absolutely sure that I block any apps designed by you. Such lack of empathy in your wording proves that you cannot possibly be a decent, half-decent, or even mediocre UI designer.
Never a fan of suggested "solutions" that are laughably implausible. Even if you support public canings for everyone ever caught dropping a plastic bag, can we not pretend that something like that could ever be implemented in the Western world? Plastic bag bans can.
This. Anecdotal but we don't have both sides picture.

I was dev contractor in a place where everybody worked 5x 9-5 except one full-time person in the team who bragged at the Monday standup what they did over the weekend. Their contribution was very poor, they couldn't really fit into project objectives without drifting away from them each time, work was ball of mud committed every two weeks at most. And that person supposedly has had to be with years of professional experience. It seems they got too comfy in the previous roles as their self-development stopped in some 2000s tech maintenance.

Feedback and hand-holding didn't help, that person had to be laid off in the closest round. I think their spouse would say about 150-200% commitment, but then the other team members had to spend 1/3 of own's 100% to clean up that person mess.
Indeed it is a shame. All bloated. It would be nice to have small and lean tool chain again.
There is extensive research on key finding attacks. Often they only need 30% of the bits. Things can be sped up by exploiting entropy - keys are really random, unlike most of the rest of your memory, so that filters things down, and as you said, an incorrect key produces total garbage on decrypt, which is easy to detect, so you can automate testing and discarding key candidates. Lastly, if you have knowledge of the applications or algorithms involved, you often get some extra data structure around the keys, which makes searching the memory dump trivial.

All that is to say, yes, this is a viable attack vector, even if some or many of the bits are flipped
I'm confused, in all the places that I'm aware of (3 countries) supermarkets sell paper bags for cases like these.

Moreover if it is such an issue for you why don't you buy one of these soft thin fabric bags that essentially roll up into their own little bag and are small enough to always carry around?

Like these https://www.ulsterweavers.com/collections/roll-up-bags
There is an authentication between your phone and your telco, but there is no authentication between your telco and others. Any telco in the world (and there are many) or someone who has bribed (or hacked) someone who works there can say "this phone is now roaming our network" and traffic gets routed there.

These things are usually discovered but not before a call or sms goes through. There are also other possibilities such as diverting calls available to someone with the right access to the signalling network. Anything that's unauthenticated and unencrypted should be regarded as insecure, really.
It's possible to extract the extensions source, save it locally, and then manually install it. That insulates you from the risk of a malicious update.

(You could also audit the extension for complete safety, but TBH I'm usually too lazy to do that, and I assume that the risk of an extension currently being malicious is far lower than the risk of an extension later being updated to become malicious)
Self reinforcing in a 1950's way
It's amazing how hard it is to get people to understand this simple fact sometimes. Especially when it comes to building housing.
My town did this, and I immediately went from picking up 1-2 plastic bags from my yard every week to basically zero in the last 4 years. I have no idea what the net impact on carbon emissions or other factors was, but the reduction in visible trash in my neighborhood was noticeable, immediate and seemingly permanent.
But why? Increased awareness that piracy is an option? Feeling that the punishment risk disincentive substitutes the moral guilt disincentive? Or just the power of contrarianism and risk-seeking?
The reusable bags in the UK certainly do fit in your pocket (when correctly folded up)
Given google and chromes involvement with AOMedia I think that its pretty natural that anyone focused on image/video codecs in chrome would have some sort of (distant or direct) connection to AOMedia.

If AOMedia was profit driven in any way (like MPEGLA sorta is via patent pools) it'd look worse, but in this case I just think it's the case that the pool of people working on codec support in a particular browser probably isn't that large so the overlap is to be expected.
Doesn't this work pretty well everywhere else now, too?

Torch at least is easy to pip install, as is poetry if you skip all the versions that were mispackaged.

It's unclear to me what the benefit of conda is these days, other than making it much harder to reproduce your environment on other machines.
Lol it's usually literally 5 minutes for me to buy a new car insurance. What's this weeks of lead time? This is not some physical good you need to manufacture and ship!
Not everyone buys a car to sell their car though. Some of us buy vehicles to keep, collect, race, trade, etc. I could not care LESS what the value of my 2 sports cars is in 15 years unless it soars to the moon for some reason and I become a millionaire.

This isn't /r/frugal fwiw.
>the arrow pointer was never the only cursor. On the first Macintosh

the first macintosh was very late to the party, there had already been GUI cursors for about a decade at PARC, and cursor styles had settled down to some standards.

in the early days of GUI cursors on relatively low resolution displays (by today's standards), an important issue was to reduce the amount of calculation and squinting the human had to do to identify the hotspot so you could accurately select/swipe what you wanted to. the tilted arrow cursor points right at its hotspot quite effectively even if the tip pixel is blurred, as does the i-beam (whose vertical offset is not as important to know accurately) the five fingered hand for moving bulk selections also does not require accurate placement, although I think the hotspot is at the end of a finger.

early GUIs let you edit your own cursors and hotspots.
If an person with a weapon drives down a road to inflict evil, should the company who made the road be responsible? The company that made the car? Or the company that made the weapon?

ISPs are too generalised to be responsible for what goes over their wires. If they were, then they would face all sorts of legal problems, everything from spam emails to Phishing to ransomware attacks. Not to mention CC and identity theft.
The problem with the roll up bags is they're still too bulky to fit in my pants or jacket pocket.
Is it really your main Desktop/Laptop? I'm intrigued by it but it looks pretty inconvenient.
Do you find it usable?
Supply is also constrained since the league is effectively a cartel controlling supply (only so many teams are allowed)
To be honest, I was debating on even posting my message initially. It was off topic but I figured it would've been ignored. If I knew it was going to derail the discussion about Stratoscope's analysis that much, I wouldn't've posted it.

Edit: Also grammar nazi'ing has little to do with linguistics and more to do with being a jerk...usually.
Yeah I don't agree with that assertion either. Microsoft will produce hardware to show the art of the possible with their software. It largely comes out of a situation where the PC/device manufacturers were doing a sh* job of it.
The paper bags aren't that reliable though. They're fine if you're just carrying the groceries to/from your car, but then you're also likely to already have a bunch of bags/baskets laying in the car. They also suck for cold stuff (eg milk), as the condensation quickly renders them useless.
Can confirm. I don't watch tv or movies unless people visit and I have over 200TB now.
Yes. Because of this and the lack of fine-grained permissions mentioned by a sibling comment, I tend to use desktop apps where I can instead of extensions, keeping my extensions list quite slim — basically all I install are FOSS extensions by “big” known-good authors (e.g. Raymond Hill) or projects that aren’t going to sell out.

Of course risks exist with desktop apps too, but historically this kind of buy-and-exfiltrate scheme is comparatively rare with desktop apps, particularly on macOS where signed apps are sandboxed and can’t do a whole lot without user permissions.
18TB Exos Renewed have over 24 of them and none have failed in over a year now

Correct, none. I use Pihole for blocking. But the bigger point I think is that security conscious users are hesitant to employ extensions in general, even if some folks are ok with a couple select extensions they are still spooked by the general field.
Vikhr also does this, and Starstreak and M1156 both use a clutch to transfer force from a freely spinning fin assembly at the nose to the rest of the projectile when appropriate, achieving guidance without any movable control surfaces! Missile designers are very clever.
Can you please link me to something I can buy? I've never found something both small enough when folded to be pocketable and big enough when expanded to be useful.
It varies by reservation status and engine
I have not found Rust mentioned there. Am I right if we say that using Rust will reduce the security attack surface in Linux? I see now it is mentioned in this thread and there are different views about this.
Safari extensions are an exception here. They are distributed through the Mac OS App store, often as an optional part of a desktop App that can then be enabled within Safari.
Sure if it is horrible it might be necessary, if warm water and disinfectant spray don't sort it out. We have not had our grocery shopping leak that badly that I can remember.
I don't mean this as snark, I'm genuinely interested: do you have a phrase I can search for or a link to that? I don't think I've ever heard that before but I would love to start citing it
Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and people read newspapers on public transport, there were all sorts of (mostly unspoken) etiquette rules around how to do so.

For instance, everyone would silently angle themselves (and their newspapers) so as not to interfere with anyone else's newspapers. As more people joined the bus or train, you'd switch from opening your newspaper up all the way to folding the pages back on themselves - advanced users developed abstruse folding techniques to follow stories that jumped from page to page.

When you disembarked was usual, and considered polite, to leave behind on your seat the sections you'd finished. People who were poor, or had been in a rush, or who had not happened to have a quarter in their pocket would descend, and sometimes engage in one-word negotiations over the sections: "Sports?", "Front page".

It's a vanished world.

Why are you reading HN instead of doing the things people are writing about?

Going to a game isn't passively spectating. It's interaction with other fans, and being part of the show for the TV audience too. It's also something do out in the weather. It's a cultural artifact to observe and inspect like the Eiffel tower.
I don’t think it’s that unusual. I don’t care to watch any sports. Neither do my parents or my sister or her husband or his brother.

Some of my friends that I can think of also don’t watch any sports.
Ijust linked above. I never used these specifically, but similar. Plenty big enough (definitely better for carrying things than disposable plastic bags)

I'm talking from memory (tried opening the FluentAvalonia sample so the styling may have affected it), but I will try again later and post results hopefully.

Others found high CPU usage too, but not as high as 70% (more like half that). https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia/issues/11070
This is very interesting and I can see how it can produce good results.

What I can't do is square this with my own observations of the current generation of parents. In my particular social and geographic circle, most parents tend to let the children do whatever they please. This almost produces "feral" children that can't even eat and sit properly (and I don't mean the Victorian Properly, I mean without dumping a full plate of food on their head or throwing cuttlery against the wall) or observe the basic rules of social interation.

If the "throw me the pebble" was applied to these children they would just think it would be OK to throw pebbles at strangers on the street.

What's the missing element in our society (honest question)?
every time someone tries an intervention like this, it somehow always makes us worse off
Ask yourself why you're passionate about the things you are. There's your answer.
I don't think you should throw away polypropylene bags because they got a little dirty. They're easily washable.

That said, the main benefit of these heavier bags is that they tend not to blow out of dumpsters and landfills in the wind, the way thin single-use plastic bags do. A bit of plastic in a landfill isn't great, but entire forests and waterways choked with plastic bags is vastly worse. E.g.,: https://www.frontiersman.com/opinions/spectrum-plastic-bags-...

Wouldn't mind knowing total number of hours / audio / video codec / resolutions for that 30TB collection. Immediate thought is ridiculously overspecced codec configuration or signs of an addiction. Are they stored as lossless 10-bit or something?

Looking back with 20/20 vision, I regret I didn’t get to enjoy the Amiga 500 during its sweet spot time: a bridge between 8bit cassette computers and a Doom-capable PC.

- One specific point really peaks my interest:

How widespread / readily available was (software or otherwise) Mac emulation on the Amiga 500, *before* Doom/Win95?

A closely read subscription of Amiga Format would be enough to master the ins and outs of it (minus the Mac ROM image, obviously), or was something that really only became feasible and readily available after, say, Win95?
I wonder if it’s an evolutionary adaptation having to do with battles. I can see getting into this kind of frenzy state definitely being helpful for survival.
You usually want to start comparing the largest drives sizes for mass production consumer drives. In Q1 2024 that is around 20 TB.
But size does not matter, price per GB (including price for the connection hardware to your workplace) matters most.

I first check prices at [1] and decide if used or state of the art speeds are best. I then check prices at this Dutch comparison site [2] for internal drives or [3] for external drives. The advantage of [2] and [3] is that these prices are doublechecked by consumers and include all costs including shipping, while Amazon [1] are not always true.

When I find the lowest price, I go check [4] to see if the brand and type drives have low error rates.

I will then design and build an aggregate of drives, usually a few NAS (Network Attached Storage) servers based on USB 3.0 (slow and cheap), Thunderbolt (40 Gbps with a maximum of 240 Gbps), Ethernet (1-800 Gbps) or a network of FPGA's (10 Gbps to 25 Tbps). The overhead to aggregate and connect a bunch of drives ranges from $3 to $92 per drive, depending on your minimum and maximum speed requirements.

For a small fee I will buy and build your storage array for you [5]. This is always cheaper for you than DIY or buying online because I pass on the lower bulk buy disk prices to you.

[5] Please contact me at morphle at ziggo dot nl for price quotes of custom build drive arrays. Q1 2024 I build midrange 100Gbps storage NAS for around $0,009 per GB excl. VAT. Maximum speed storage is a few terabytes per second.
10GB/s around $0,009 per GB, 100GB/s around $0,011 per GB.
Except for the part of the article where it notes that there are unsold cheap seats, which the venue refuses to sell at the market price, as that might lower the overall price.

Which means, the article actually boils down to “supply is being artificially constrained to increase the price, and maximize profit”
I don’t even understand what this comment means in this context.

This isn’t like a bug that was introduced in the beta, and betas are intended to help find bugs.

This is functionality deliberately being removed, that is wildly known to break cloud storage software.
Just to state the potentially obvious, there are fewer NFL games than MLB or NBA (by about an order of magnitude, 272 NFL games per year vs. ~2,400 MLB games and ~2,400 NBA games), so the supply of seats is far more limited.
It's just a Hacker News convention to include the year in parentheses if the article isn't freshly published. It doesn't have anything to do with the content of the article itself.
While this is true, the overall BEAM ecosystem has moved strongly in the direction of using binaries and iolists (lists made of binaries, integers, chartists, and other iolists) for a lot of cases where lists-of-integers aren't efficient.
Characterizing and Recovering Information Loss in Text Simplification
When you spend every week watching football, it probably means more to a lot of folks than a nice laptop or new smartphone. It's a major part of some people's lives.

Modern sports has mastered the art of storytelling and rivalry. They immerse you in the players' and coaches' lives, and fans begin to find their favorites to root for and against.

It's not surprising fans will pay $500, $1000, or more to see an especially memorable game. Or pay top dollar for a signed jersey.

This is no different than any other hobby. Lives are short and people want to immerse themselves in the things they love.
It was obvious to me that Apple doesn't care about developers the moment I learned that they charge a $99 per year fee to open a developer account.

> American Recyclable Plastic Bag Alliance

This is a lobby group. Their goal is to produce and sell as much plastic as they can. The more people reuse plastic bags, the less money they make. Their argument is worth as much as that of the tobacco lobby. That doesn’t mean they’re wrong, just that they sure won’t quote any ideas or statistics in favour of reuse.

Don’t forget, folks: “recyclable” is an extremely low bar. Most things are recyclable. But many recyclable products are still so expensive (and energy-hungry) to actually recycle that the term is borderline meaningless.

Reuse trumps recyclable by a wide margin and anybody telling you otherwise is either working in a very narrow set of industries (eg paper) or malicious.
Those are too bulky unfortunately. If I walked around with one of those in my pants pocket, it would look like... well, you know what.
Have you actually tried it, with sympathetic friends? I also used to think I hated such things but when I went to an easy game (not on a super crowded day, not a critical game) I really enjoyed just the camaraderie.

I can't handle large arenas when they are completely packed or there is too much tension in the crowd, so I'd recommend starting small and with a friendly game if you feel the same. Having said that, I found I absolutely hate watching baseball, golf and cricket (edit for reasons: not interested in drinking alcohol all day) but have grown to love sharing intense games like basketball, tennis and football with friends.
Similar here! My grandparents had quite a few AC books as well as a subscription to Agatha Christie's Mysteries (IIRC the name).

And now you know for next time: “there’s a great bakery near the park that I like, better come prepared”. You now have two reasons to go there. Take a disposable plastic bag (hint: they are and always were reusable) folded in your pocket.

This not a hypothetical. I learned pretty fast to always bring a mostly empty backpack with me to the park. I pack a couple of beach towels, maybe bring a jacket, and an e-reader. Sometimes I may not lay down on the grass, or not read. Or I may meet with someone and have a towel at the ready for them. But I have multiple options and none of them is a burden.

Carrying an almost empty backpack for a recreational activity takes zero effort, and it can be used to carry groceries on the way back if I want. Each of the things I carry in it is the result of a previous time where I didn’t have it. People in this thread are acting as if this is an intractable problem. It’s not. Every time you’re faced with a problem of this nature think “what could I do to avoid this next time?” then do that.

If somebody dared to write a comment on HN criticizing Apple in the 10s, downvotes rained down on that comment. HN's policy is to downvote to express disagreement, among the other things.

That's not been the case anymore since a few years. This very thread would have been nearly impossible 10 years ago, maybe 5 years ago too.
