I like it and hate it at the same time.

Aria2 definitely needs a UI, and the one presented in the video checks the box of every feature I wish aria natively had, including activity tabs, easy addition/removal, and expandable status.

It's small, plain, and simple, and fits in very nicely with the idea of efficient minimalism that Aria exhudes.

I just wish it wasn't behind a webserver (a TUI would have been just as good), and the docker image seems like overkill for such a small app.

Again, love it and hate it.
What this demonstrates: Years of unethical, overtly extortionary and often illegal copyright trolling isn't enough to trigger disbarment. (Not even criminal charges but a loss of license. In one state.)

It's years of copyright trolling so incompetent that judges began pushing back. Plus another period of angering those judges with non-compliance.

What this hints at: When copyright is on the table, unethical, extortionary and illegal trolling usually flies just fine.
Full focus mode would have to be passthrough with no notifications or external information. I feel like anything less would just be the current phone status quo.
I'm confused by comments like this one. Apple very specifically designed Vision Pro to address this problem, going to great lengths to make the outside world visible to the user and the user's eyes visible to others, and marketing that they don't want to create isolation. It is also described in the article (where the author thinks they went too far).

What do you think of how the Vision Pro addresses this problem?
Art Thoughtz: Post-Structuralism [video]
Takes me back! I always wanted to live in a 30s mansion block when I lived in London, and did once look around a flat in the building pictured in Belsize park, the one which recalls the sort of ocean liner a Wodehouse character would use to travel to New York. And it was beautiful and the rent not too dear. (This was around 2010.) And it also smelled strongly of mildew.
I am French originally and on my side what worked well was to speak to myself in English all the time. At home I would actually speak English out loud and it helped a lot with practicing my pronunciation and also to learn new words.

Also reading books in English out loud can be really helpful.
Sure. And one thing we could say is, "realistically, nations are going to do this. It's cheap and easy and has a lot of upside if they succeed. So we tolerate it."

It's like how the international community accepts that the CIA, FSB, MI6, etc, exist -- nobody serious is really objecting to foreign spying in principle.

But in that case -- if we were being consistent -- we might find (for example) Russian agents trying to swing the US election, and we would have to shrug: "ah well, everybody does it." And I doubt that's the attitude that our leaders would take!
You might need to click on the grid first to focus on it, so that the grid receives the keyboard events. I agree it's not a great UX. Perhaps the focus should be made automatically when the script runs.
Ask HN: Interest in novel programming language for resource-constrained MCUs?
i’ve developed a novel programming language that targets resource-constrained MCUs used in deeply embedded systems where every penny of cost and uJ of energy matters…. my interest here is seeking guidance for reaching out to others with similar interests....
some background: the language was conceived in a university environment back in 2010, and has subsequently matured over the past decade through several commercial deployments; in a number of cases, i worked closely with major silicon vendors when porting the language and its runtime to specific MCUs in their portfolios….

i’ve now come to a point in my career where i’ve decided to “open source” this technology – which i have to admit is a brave new world for me…. while i’m always looking for general suggestions on how best to proceed, i actually have a more specific question for this forum:

how should i best reach “bare-metal” embedded software developers who would want to learn more about a higher-level programming language that regularly yields firmware images with a higher-level of performance (especially code size) when benchmarked against comparable programs written in legacy C ???

for sure, this novel programming language is NOT for everyone – even within the embedded space, where modern edge IoT devices regularly feature megabytes of memory to hold ever-expanding middleware stacks…. putting it in simpler terms, i’m looking for folks willing to explore what’s possible in under 32K of memory on “entry-level” MCUs….

your thoughts on how i might find some kindred spirits ???

PS – this is my first post here, so i hope i'm following protocol....
Personally I'm betting it's not even a dev kit for future VR devices, though we will almost definitely get an iteration or two of them before we get to what I think is their true goal, AR glasses. There's so much unnecessary stuff here if the goal isn't that, mainly the ridiculous outward facing eye screen, that makes sense if it's just to simulate as close as possible using AR glasses.
Well i've been coding professionally for over 30 years, and i've seen languages and coding standards come and go, and in all that time, i've never once felt that what was holding back a project was the coding standard, or lack of one.

Maybe i've got lucky? Or maybe this is a solution looking for a problem? All I know is that whatever you adopt as a standard today will look weird and outdated in 20 years time, so frankly, don't sweat it.
There is a big difference between saying "fiber is not the solution to everything" which I never said, and what the OP said which was to recommend no fiber at all, 0%.

You are citing studies on specific narrow medical conditions where a limiting
of fiber had some impact. Yes, you can probably find narrow medical conditions that would benefit from any diet you want to support. You can find medical conditions that support 100% fat, 100% carb, 100% protein. Those are niche cases with specific needs.

That isn't what the general regular human would need.

This is like saying, "we've found that in some specific cases, excess water leads to drowning, thus we recommend a water free diet."

Maybe not you. But it is really awful how many people are really eating unhealthily based on this kind of miss-interpretations, and in some cases out right marketing manipulation.

Yes it is a huge field, and there are a lot of different types of fibers, with hundreds of knock on effects. This is one of those fields where there a lot of variables, it is complex, so super easy to purposely confuse people. To then say, we don't need it?

> I think you're kind of mischaracterizing this article. The conclusion drawn isn't really that psychological research is wrong per se

This is a characterization that you have just made, not one that the person you are replying to made. They were very clear: "The biggest factor impacting the outcome of an experiment in psych is what the researcher conducting the study wants to be true."

Even to say something is "more pseudo than science" almost directly contradicts your characterization, because it implies that there is both science and pseudoscience.
Correlation or causation?

Apple tends to jump on the bandwagon late but then turns thing mainstream. That worked well for ultrabooks (e.g. sony vaio, then MacBook air, nowadays every laptop) or earbuds.

The AR/VR or visionsomething^TM case is a bit different in that apple actually has to implement a new market. Thus far they don't seem to be trying that hard.
Depends on where you drive, dude. I spend more time on mountain roads than highways.

And, also, if you like driving, and sometimes drive for fun, curves are way more fun than freeways. None of this has anything to do with supercars, either. My boring mom-car has more than enough power to merge safely. It's (surprisingly, to most people) faster (acceleration and top-speed) and (impressively - ICE tech advanced so much) more fuel-efficient than my almost thirty year old Miata. But, obviously, I enjoy the latter 1000x more than the former.

I guess this makes me a car geek. <shrug> That's fine. I do enjoy driving my super-basic, entry-level sportscar. I have less than zero interest in supercars.

> As the target demographic and someone who dreamed of owning one one day

I don't know if it's one of those sunlight = best disinfectant situations where the bloom has fallen off of Tesla's rose as time has gone on, or if it is the rush to gain market share has caused quality to decline, or the original reviews were just shills. However, I too refuse to contribute one cent to the increasing of that one individual's wealth because I find them to be a loathsome individual. Setting that aside, their decisions on being the champion of telematics, OTA updates/modifications without your approval, the increasing use of touch screen controls, and all of the other things that have all just added up to never wanting to own one of these cars. That negativity has not soured my desire for owning an EV, just not a Tesla
> Yet, we still have some languages who's developers refuse to include even a basic http API in their standard libraries in an age where even embedded systems have started to speak http.

There’s also the philosophy that the language core should be as minimal as possible. I’m not 100% sold on it, but there’s definitely a valid argument to be made in favor of it.
Which render?

Also, nitpick - "she," not he.
With SSH, if you care, you just need to check the fingerprints. With HTTPS, you have to implement certificate pinning (or set up a private CA and configure everything to ignore the system roots of trust), which is much more onerous.

Thanks for helping to improve https, since it helps in practice.

edit: Another way to put it is that if you want to reduce your attack surface to just the client and server machine, it's easy enough to scale SSH fingerprint verification to a few dozen machines. It's much, much harder to get SSL to provide that property for even two machines.

As for scaling to 100's of machines, it's not obvious to me that bootstrapping and rsyncing a known_hosts file and /etc/ssh_config that turns off trust on first use is harder than setting up a CA.

For millions of machines, SSH falls over (because known_hosts would be too big), but at that point, you're talking about what percentage of machines are compromised in steady state, not how to keep all attackers out. That's where HTTPS works well.
This is a first-party package from the Hyprland organization. This is meant to be used by people that use Wayland+Hyprland and want a better cursor. I don't think the idea is to make the package itself attractive but to make the Wayland+Hyprland switch attractive by saying: look, here are all the things we do better, including cursors.
FWIW, I’ve observed in high schoolers that many leave their earbuds in all the time. At this point it’s a fashion statement too.
Take the initiative to talk to other people. That's honestly the best way to improve. You just have to work out of that zone. Go to your local library or go to your local college/university that has an ESL (English as a second language) option. Ask for help finding a group to practice English with. They'll often have free or inexpensive ways to speak English with others. The discomfort you feel when speaking a second language is because you don't feel confident speaking. Building that confidence usually requires speaking with others. If you are in an environment where others in the group are learning as well, it should be easier to get over that initial discomfort.

I was asking directly about how to get more quantity but I don't think I implied anything about quality as they indicated nothing about that. Really I'm just curious about the specifics of this person's long tenure as it's not been my experience or that of most people I know regardless of individual performance but they offer us nothing other than the knowledge of their existence the implication being that ageism in the industry doesn't exist because they haven't personally been affected by it. Apologies, I should have just stated that directly.
> every of your former friends hates you

Ah yes, people hate it when people call out corruption that results in the planes they fly to kill people!

>your family isn't super supportive either for what you caused to the rest of the family (in reputation, attention, possibly financially)

Again, I agree their neighbors and friends must have been super pissed when he called out Boeing for building dangerous planes that can kill people! Nothing makes regular people more upset when you put integrity over the profits of some corporation!

And I am sure the family were super pissed when pursuing a civil lawsuit that would benefit them. I am sure they were so upset about the negative repercussions to Boeing!

I guess we can all agree that he killed himself for the benefit of friends and family something that you always hear when a father kills himself! /s
Given that lifting fleets/swarms don't exist, I think that scaling up a conventional aircraft is actually lower risk. Aside from the technical risk getting lifting fleets/swarms certified would be an extremely novel development. Super jumbo aircraft should have a much more smooth regulatory pathway.

While the physical scale of the aircraft is huge, its actual lift capacity isn't groundbreaking. They quoted 80 tons. That's well within the capacity of today's military strategic lift (C-17s can lift 85 tons). And in terms of size comparison, compared to the An-225 (RIP), the quoted dimensions are 108m (Windrunner) vs 84m, 24m high 18m, 80m wingspan vs 88m.

Certainly a non-trival increase in linear size, but it's not a magnitude leap either.

Maybe it’s just my pattern matching brain and current interests noticing this more, but there seems to be an uptick in content that bridges the knowledge gap between assembly and higher level languages, and that’s been awesome for someone diving in at this later phase of my career.

As a self taught developer, I tried to learn “bottom up”, i.e. starting from low level concepts in my early teens. Everything I tried to learn bounced off of my brain, and what really got me going was picking up Python, and later Ruby (not rails) in the early 2000s.

This eventually grew into a successful career, and I spent most of my professional life not really knowing much more than the general gist of lower level stuff.

More recently, I decided to go back to trying to learn this and it’s like discovering a whole new world. 20 years of coding gave me great intuitions for higher level code, but left all of these unanswered questions about how it works at a lower level. And it’s making me fall in love with code all over again, because now it all makes so much sense, and answers these questions I sometimes forgot that I had. Taking this a step further and going down to the level of circuits is even more mind expanding, and has been a joy.

If you’ve been coding for a long time and this all seems hard to imagine breaking into, all I can say is: try again! You might be surprised at how much easier it will be now.

This is entirely serious. But most people have no idea how broad and deep the reach of the hard science integrity problem goes (at least in biology).

Not only that, but it's HARD for people to know, and there are with 100% certainty efforts to keep it that way.
It is appalling that as many details as possible are immediately leaked (or were they outright released by the police) about it being a suicide: gunshot to head in a remote location, "there is a note", "family said he had PTSD and was under stress".

A major whistleblower dies in any non-natural manner should be a major investigation by the highest levels of the FBI, not immediately handled and released by the podunk no-resource local police that don't want to touch the case with a ten-foot pole.

That's what is most galling. The media and police work in lockstep to immediately brand it a suicide. The only headline should be "Boeing whistleblower found dead, FBI is investigating".
The post is about the demise of coding. I'm only responding to the topic of the discussion.

Perhaps a controversial opinion, but to me this really just shows the major flaw with our current text-file-based model for programming languages; it mixes the actual content of our programming with its presentation. It's time we begin to move past text files for storing our programs and move to directly using a shared intermediate representation (something along the lines of an AST). Then we can move past all this nitpicking about code style, indenting, etc.
Is that just a fun anecdote or is your point that Japanese society is somehow not more concerned with these things than the US? Because the latter is just wrong.

Their mockups show that they envision packing at least 2 blades into a single aircraft. I think that explains the 80t capacity.
I’d like to argue one point made in the article about Go- there are (at least) two styles of writing Go. One style uses embedded structs for something like JavaScript prototype chains (specifically, the Go compiler uses this technique to blend the scanner and parser together), and the other style pretends that struct embedding doesn’t exist at all.

I’m willing to say that I am (was?) in the doesn’t exist camp, and was shocked when I found it in inside the compiler and in a few other places.

The shock was similar to that I’d experienced writing in languages that don’t have a “style czar”. When reading Go, you usually can predict exactly where every variable is declared, but with struct embedding that certainty is lost.
I also learned English from textbooks, and one of the strangest things I encountered that native speakers routinely confuse "their, there, they're" which I never thought was a mistake I could make. It would be like confusing 'wet' and 'vet'. So there's definitely a difference between native and non-native speakers use the language.
What are you upset with me for? The authors are using the misleading language, not me. Take it up with them.
I think there are a lot of grey areas there. Like, suppose Candidate X is running for president. They have a lot of real voter support, but some of their advertising was allegedly funded by Russian money. How discredited are they, on a scale from 1 to 10? What if the other candidate was allegedly funded by Chinese money? There's no rule that says only one foreign government at a time can interfere...
