David Revoy's involvement in FOSS is almost a blessing. He has drawn this comic, Pepper and Carrot, using free software like Krita. But that's only the surface level of his contribution to FOSS.

He has pioneered a collaborative approach to comic translation in an industry where most publishers respond to volunteer translators with legal threats. (See [1] for the dominant sentiment among conventional comic publishers.)

Dozens of FOSS projects owe wonderful illustrations and mascots to David Revoy, including all of the initiatives by Framasoft (a French association focusing on software freedom). They are characters for communities to rally around, and can make these charitable initiatives and software projects feel more approachable to non-technical people. The open source app Mobilizon has cute cartoon foxes for instance[2], which you can even have as your online profile picture[3]!

Add to that a myriad of educational videos and blog posts about both art in general and doing art with open source software and you can perhaps see how passionate David Revoy is. Well, so concludes my little accolade to him on HN! I wish him the best of luck with his new comic.

> Sure, the Robinhood Gold membership fee will act as a cushion, but at $5/month, it will only take cardholders around $2,000 to recoup their money. Not a high amount. On top of that, Robinhood is on the hook for 5% APY on uninvested cash. Yes, the uninvested balance is cash that Robinhood can invest and profit from, but will they clear the 5% hurdle every time? I am not sure. Oh, did I mention that they would give 1% back on uninvested balance, in addition to the 5% APY? And 3% IRA matching? Whatever plan they have but don’t share, unsurprisingly, must be really good to make the maths work.

I mean it can easily just be a ponzi, but Robinhood is in the business of selling data, Citadel being their top client

Having spending data to sell is a natural diversification or expansion, as Payment for Order Flow may get regulated away

but even without that, many banks do the expensive thing for a few years and then just change the terms on the account/card, they tend to keep the customers
So you can bypass it by creating an account? Absolute non-issue once again.
Note that the BBC won't switch to a subscriber model and now needs to include other providers' channels in the tax classification, which should be evidence enough that its content can't compete with modern competition.

As an institution I feel the BBC is no longer needed to educate the UK's citizens as we have other high quality providers for that, and obviously the internet.
Unfortunately, it can't be used for business expenses. But that makes sense as they're losing money on the 3% cash back according to the article.

This is a website for people who think reddit is too conservative for them.
This is unintentionally a great ad for perceptual color spaces. I found it easier to ignore the color and just look at the percentage changes after a while when zeroing in on a guess. I wonder if that would be different in a game of Guess My OKLCH!

More active users than ever before just in the last 2 quarters of 2023 after stagnating for years. Its almost like the API thing backfired and that bad press was in fact good press and got more people onto reddit.
8-12 attempts to get the color seems to be the range i tend to land in.
The article didn’t mention this, but don’t u128s get mapped to SSE2 registers on most modern x86_64 processors, and not regular 64-bit ones?

Just one example, of many, that shows this author doesn’t know what they’re talking about. At all.
Looks like another D3 wrapper at its core. Which is cool! I do think D3 is great.

I do wonder if data visualization will ever get framework specific options. I wonder how hard it would be to re-create this in Svelte proper

Almost all graphQL clients implement a custom caching layer (for example using indexeddb in the browser) that can cache resources with different timelines, also when they’re returned in a single response.

I am sorry to hear this. I have been a satisfied user since I found out about this project on HN a few months ago. It has kept Amazon and a lot of other garbage out of my search results for starters. I use uBlock Origin extensively but have never been able to learn to write my own filters. letsblock.it handled a lot of that seamlessly. My sincere thanks to the developer for his valiant efforts.
Now do it by answering with words interpreted as colors using the Netscape algorithm.

I once read a blog post here about how Netscape interpreted colors that are words but aren’t in the official name list, and it comes down to tossing out the non-hex characters and padding/chunking the remaining characters to make RGB numbers, so “dumptruck” might end up being yellow because it ends up being DC0. I immediately wrote a little app that interpreted all the words in /usr/share/dict/words and stuck them in a sqlite db with Lab color representations so you could query for the nearest phony color word for a specific RGB you wanted. It just showed the 100 best matches sorted by closeness, written in their actual color. Fun little spur of the moment evening project.
Why would they do that? For China's investment?

Didn't all of that happen this year?

Quick edit: But also the article is talking specifically about deaths, and as far as I recall no one died with the Boeing incidents. Granted the door plug one was probably pure luck (no one was sitting next to it).
With current concurrent collectors, the stop-the-world pauses are so short that they approach the pause times processes encounter for other reasons on untuned systems.

But I meant something else: it's not always clear whether low-pause collectors are a win. A totally made-up example: Is it worthwhile to add 2ms processing time to every request to avoid that every 7 to 10 minutes, there is a 20% chance that there is a garbage collection that delays all requests currently in flight by 40ms?
> The consensus? He has tons of "red flags" for basically being "billy the beta" who won't excite the women who would come into contact with him. Hardly anyone is surprised that he can't get dates. Quoting one of the top comments: "his persona reads to be like a human representation of mashed potatoes with no seasoning, bland. "

There's a couple people in that thread who used the term "beta" but I wouldn't call it the consensus. There's some calling him "boring", but there's also a bunch of ladies saying "maybe if I were single", and a bunch more saying "wanting kids is a dealbreaker".

And in any case things seem to have worked out for him: "This profile was published in August 2022; I'm no longer single, but wanted to leave it up since it was an important document for me." (https://colah.github.io/personal/dating/)

I blame the widespread normalization of "nerds" being bullied by "jocks" in TV from the 1980s on. The cultural damage this has done is unreal.

I don't think this is true at all.

The incredible effectiveness of airline regulation shouldn't be understated.

Despite being a criminally negligent organization, Boeing still failed to kill anyone because of the FAA (their direct action and also airlines' fear of consequences).
what are all those stray mouse cursors on the screen? is it supposed to be an absurdist critique of user experience? or is it just screwed up JS/CSS interpretation that's supposed to be doing something for me?

I don't much like the minimal button interfaces that abound today (bluetooth could do so much more if they gave it some interface at all, how about just httpd?) but I do enjoy solving the puzzles of how to reset the time, etc. It usually turns out to be simple, just obscure.
It is certainly the most obvious and kind of archetypal kind of peer pressure, which doesn’t mean that it’s exclusive to teenagers.

Didn't work out for me. I was pursuing a PhD and got married and shortly after had a child. I could no longer comfortably subsist on the salary of a Research Assistant. So I left academia to make more money.

I could imagine marriage helping if one doesn't have kids and the cost of living where the school is located isn't too high or if one's spouse has a successful career.

The advantage of being married is that you don't have to spend as much energy dating and other social activities.
So do you propose that Reddit fund startups every year and use Reddit to promote the startups it funds?

It's working fine for me. I'm on Windscribe. Have you tested with TOR?
My first instinct would be no, as wireguard runs in kernel space(if you're using kernel wireguard, not wireguard-go/some other userspace implementation),and couldn't link in liblzma, a userspace component.
perfect 10 on severity, probably close 10 on impact. Caught before it was widely exploited (it got noticed because it just rolled out, in an attempt to get it into the release window for 24.04 etc) but it’s essentially RCE on all Debian, Ubuntu, and fedora openssh servers.
I had a different experience. I aimed for what your colleague did, but none of my work was good enough for top tier conferences, so I ended up with neither novel nor top-tier work.

So I think both options really depend on what you can deliver and in what timeframe.
I'm like this, and yes, very much so.

The (US) academic system is not set up to accommodate anyone, really. It's designed to get someone just below average through their standardized testing and not much more. If you don't fit that mold you're shit outta luck. You either suffer through it like "normal" people, or you find it utterly intolerable and fail or drop out.

Personally, I learn best backwards from everyone else. Building up very slowly from fundamentals and basically starting over with basic algebra every semester is actual hell. I need to see the goal concept fully formed and functional, and then work backwards to derive the fundamentals I'm missing.

Generally speaking, once I understand a concept I have it forever. I usually only need the briefest of refresher on mechanics and formulae as I use them. Spending the first month of calculus class going over 9th grade algebra is an unbelievable waste of my time.

My final attempt at college was a CS degree. I made it through one semester and did not even get to a single CS concept. It was at least a year and a half of bullshit prerequisites that I had to pay for. I dropped out when I had to write a presentation to the board of my hypothetical company on the benefits of upgrading their printers. I'm not kidding. I paid real money for this.

I've totally given up on the educational system. I don't fit into the cookie cutter ideal of the average idiot grinding out a degree. I just can't do it.

I think probably the ideal way for me to learn is to spend a lot of time one on one with a domain expert that can show me the final concept and work backwards with me to fill in the gaps in my knowledge. I don't want or need, nor can I tolerate spending time going over things I already know for the 30th time. I need to learn the things I don't know. School just doesn't work that way.

I see this pretty often here unfortunately. Very confidently wrong statements from people who aren’t actual experts. For historical reasons there’s a sort of guise of expert on HN that can be abused.
That's the essence of programming in C though...

You figure out what the hardware designers actually did, and get the program written to accommodate it.
You would reject it of course, which is exactly why this code never appeared in a commit. The stage 0 of the exploit was not checked in, but directly added to the autogenerated build script in the release tarball, where, even if someone did review the script, it looks plausibly like other autogenerated build gunk. The complex and unreadable scripts in the further stages were hidden inside binary test files, so no one reviewing the commit that added them (https://git.tukaani.org/?p=xz.git;a=commit;h=cf44e4b) would directly see that code.

The publicly funded channel acts as a quality baseline below which commercial providers won't usually go (since they would lose viewers). It can also be unbiased, where commercial channels are almost always biased in some way, usually towards whichever billionaire runs them. How far the BBC fulfils these needs can definitely be argued (especially on bias), but you should worry about not having the BBC around.
"The general hope was that the roller ship would slash travel times by virtue of its low-drag design. Sadly, an attempt to cross the English Channel in 1897 revealed that the roller design had one unforeseen drawback. In the water, the rollers tended to drag a great deal of water up with them as they rotated."

Super fun. I'm a marine engineer and design vessels. I've seen a lot of whacky designs over the years and never encountered this one!

Apparently, from the above quote, the culprit for increased drag was skin friction (in this case, that meant water clinging to the surface of the rollers and being lifted out of the water - kind of like the reverse effect of a Tesla turbine which exploits skin friction between moving air and a stack of rigid discs on a rotor). That would certainly cause propulsive inefficiencies.

However, from my view, the primary source of drag here are the "hollows" between the rotor discs. If you were to look at a plan (top) view of the vessel as it moves through the water you would find significant water pressure gradients between (at the aft and fore end of) each wheel. When you have multiple wheels in series, you have oscilating high and low pressure zones along the length of the waterline. That's a tremendous amount of energy lost to water turbulance.

When you look plan views of hydrodynamic hullforms at the waterline (whether monohull, or multihulls like catamaran/trimarin/SWATH) or even aircraft foil shapes, you don't see "wavy" form lines for this very reason.

I will say that these inventers were encroaching on the SWATH hull shape. The author states that this roller disc hull would not be stable due to the high CG. However, SWATH hulls are known for their stability in high sea states.
> It might take up to 24 hours to update but it will always be correct

sounds like it might be incorrect only(!) for 24 hours at a time, with "how many times" being the wildcard.

There are not that many suspicious acts tbh. Randos complaining about unmaintained repos and unclosed issues is a constant in FOSS world.

Sometimes it's even true, some projects really die and stop actually addressing real issues.

But that's just inherent downside of the "bazaar" model. I don't think how we can "treat maintainers better" without going full corporate/without going full "cathedral".

They mentioned min-plus and the two are essentially identical (specifically they're isomorphic with the isomorphism being x -> (-x))
Why would they want to do this? Transparency is not in their favor.
All good reasons :)

I never did proper "data engineering" per se, but we did have casual run-ins with geodatasets and GIS, and used them to build a home solar calculator that takes a ZIP code and estimates that area's available yearly sunlight, utility rates, electricity consumption, etc. and combine it into an estimated size for a home solar system. It was like a primitive version of Google Sunroof (https://sunroof.withgoogle.com/), which is much, much better.

I too love the intersection of data and visualization/usability, turning obscure spreadsheets into useful public interfaces :) The geospatial world is just one part of that. It used to be cool, but I guess nowadays it'd probably be more about turning data into LLM-digestible training sets so that they can more directly analyze questions and answer them in plain language.

Do you think traditional DE is still worth learning, with Skynet on the horizon? What's a good way to get started?

Is the type of problem encountered in a country a sign of the type of civilization you have in that country? In a way, I would expect this article to be applicable also in North Korea, just with different outcome ("42 were shot today due to missing TV license").

Also, given the US gained independence from UK and wanted to go a very different path (ex: 1st A, 2nd A don't exist in UK, but the opposite), why is the same legal system used in USA?
It’s more analogous to getting hired at the lock company and sabotaging the locks you assemble to be trivially pickible if you know the right trick.

The University of Minnesota case is an interesting one to compare to. I could imagine them being criminally liable but being given a lenient punishment. I wonder if the law will end up being amended to better cover this, if it isn’t already explicitly illegal.
The conversation is about trust in software systems, not some code of conduct grievance you want to wedge in here.
> But then the commenter said his company could probably make it faster or near instantaneous but when a user indicates that they want to unsubscribe from their spam they have gone from a potential source of revenue to being valued at zero. He complained that it made no sense to make the unsubscriber's lives better by immediately unsubscribing them instead of focusing his time on trying to make sure the spam got out to more people.

For an industry (marketing) that is all about "intent", someone who doesn't want the marketing materials and won't buy and thus has a revenue value of zero and is making that intent clear by unsubscribing, it makes no sense to delay and possibly send more spam to them. It reeks of being driven by the wrong metrics, how many marketing emails were sent rather than how effective are the emails at converting to sales and unsubscribe requests should be informing how effective the emails are.
2023 wasn't completely uneventful for Boeing and the max (from wikipedia):

- January 13, China Southern Airlines returned the MAX to service (i.e. still grounded for a small part of 2023)

- In April of 2023, it was revealed that US engineers had recommended grounding 737 Max immediately following the Ethiopian Airlines accident.

- December 28, the FAA revealed that Boeing had asked airlines to check newer 737 MAX aircraft for a possible loose screw in the rudder control system. The FAA wants to "closely monitor" the targeted inspections and consider additional measures if further loose or missing components are discovered.
I would somewhat agree, but then come to mind "what is the "legal" definition of malware ?".

Some people would say that most drm software would act like malware/ransomware.

And tricking people to install such software is only matter of an ambiguously worded checkbox.
I think a reasonable fear is that long stretches of exceptional safety could breed complacency and cause aviation companies to feel like they can slack a bit on it.

The same thing happened with vaccines to a large degree, right? A generation grows up without measles, and then they think maybe vaccinating against measles isn't really that important. After all, they never knew anybody who got it, how bad could it be?
It sounds like you're the sort of person who really needs to hear this:

"Act that you use humanity—whether in your own person or in the person of any other—always at the same time as an end, and never merely as a means."

The first round of groundings seems to have ended in late 2020. The drama all started, as stated in another article:

> Two years later, hundreds of Max planes were grounded worldwide after the crashes in 2018 and 2019 that killed 346 people.
> To wit, according to the annual report just released by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) 2023 goes down as one of the safest years in commercial aviation history. Not a single fatal accident was recorded involving a commercial jet. Not one.

> Combining jet and turboprop operations, IATA says there were 37 million commercial flights last year. Among those, the only deadly crash was that of an ATR turboprop in Nepal last January.

Someone both died and didn't die?
Just because you can't presently reproduce something doesn't mean that others are imagining it or making it up / "bashing". Remember that, besides VPN blocking being an imperfect and fickle thing, these companies like to A/B test on the unwitting public so different people can inexplicably get different experiences. When you can't reproduce something other people claim to be experiencing, resist the urge to call them a liar and spend a moment to consider other possibilities.
Exactly! The key thing to realize here is that tutorials have to be aimed at newbies. If they know containers, great. If they don't, and later want to learn, writing and running a Dockerfile based on instructions for the cool thing they successfully ran once saying "Here's our VM, here are the commands we run, and here's the program running in action" is a great little practice problem.
OK, so this is a model relevant for people that believe in a dualist worldview? Kinda like a soul that needs to be kept pure or something?
