These tools typically claim to block or catch stupidly high number of threats per unit time. And they usually bucket the drive-by stuff as a threat to achieve this narrative. I agree it’s hogwash.

So you’re essentially admitting that these TLS boxes are more about controlling employees and “data loss prevention” than actually preventing real threats and doing honest security. Got it.

>Again, former VCFederation (Mid Atlantic and National) volunteer here. I was only a volunteer when this donation came in and was part of the team that made sure this donation got a good home later on. No one involved at either end of this is still actively involved with VCF, so the OP is taking an organization task to because of a lack of institutional knowledge. I offered to privately explain what really happened on Twitter (X) and was blocked as a result and made out to be accusing OP of being a liar. I only want to interject the facts as I know them and maybe offer up a couple of opinions.

>and made out to be accusing OP of being a liar

I have no specific knowledge here at all, but I am capable of reading and remembering events <1 day ago. And you were here, on HN, absolutely calling him a liar [0]:

>"I was actually there. Nothing in this blog post is factual."

>"so I'll correct myself say almost the entirety of the blog post is false."

You called him a liar and now are trying to pull some /woe is me people are twisting my words/? As the top reply you never responded to said, it's perfectly conceivable this was all a result of a very poor series of communications. But you've spent a lot of words over the last 24h to try to cast shade on a well known apparently dedicated archivist sharing a very simple, straight forward personal experience he felt was negative and calling him a liar without actually addressing the substance. You don't show the communications didn't happen. You make appeals to incredulity ("Does anyone really think it would have been donated to a warehouse without climate control by the ocean if there was any hint of archiving needed") when according to the blog ("To make this donation, I paid for the containers, filled them, put many issues in bags, and then rented a truck to drive them the roughly 70 miles to the VCF headquarters in Wall, NJ. There I dropped them off and went home. This was roughly 2017.") yeah it does sound like he was serious about archiving it, and it's not at all clear that it would have been clear to him that dropping it off at the HQ would mean it would permanently live forever in a non-cc warehouse next to the ocean.

The original blog was pretty measured and to the point. Just his feelings, his perspective, and why he was making a choice to people who follow him rather then leaving it quiet. He's clearly still quite upset but didn't say the whole org was trash or that nobody should ever go. It may have all been a bad misunderstanding and leadership screw up that has left some bad feelings which would be too bad but can't always be fixed except maybe by time. But man are you doing a shitty job of making your case.

There is also the fact that if you’re richer, you can probably afford to solve whatever problem you have without actually murdering someone. Especially not murdering them yourself.

Because you can hire lawyers. Or can afford friends in low places. Or have power and influence to get what you want through threats. And aren’t desperate enough (usually) either to consider it a good cost/risk trade off.

But not always, rich people can be crazy too. Or actually, I mean ‘eccentric’. Crazy is when someone is poor.

If you’re criminally inclined, getting more money is always ‘worthwhile’ though, especially since it’s rare anyone can look at it and say it should be punished the same as literal murder.
does anyone how does copyright work for these? and if there is a way to generate these without the vocals? (i know there is voice removal AI, but that will introduce quality loss), basically curious if person could generate something with Suno and then do a "cover" with real singing and release it on social media?
Just like a camera. Which is why the copyright for photographs gets assigned to the photographer, it doesn't just disappear into the ether. In this case the copyright for a computer-generated image would tend to belong to whoever typed in the prompt.

The article uses some sloppy definitions, but best I can tell, you would be considered self-employed according to the article. What they conveniently leave out is the large portion of workers who are actually employees per common law, but both they and the "employer" agree to ignore the law because they think it benefits them to do so, and they likely won't be caught (but if they are, paying all the back payroll taxes with interest and penalties can be brutal). You seem to fit in this category.

>But I'm not on a contract or 1099 - the customer just sends me work and I invoice for it.

Assuming you mean the U.S. 1099-NEC tax form, you most certainly are "on 1099". If your client is not issuing one to you every year, they are breaking the law and subject to penalties.

Twins can be born with the same genes (because they originated as a single embryo that split), or with different genes (they originated as two separately fertilized embryos). The former are considered identical twins even if you can tell them apart. They’re genetically identical, which scientists find useful in teasing out nature vs. nurture hypotheses.
They especially like to compare them against twins with different genes — who are called fraternal twins even if you can’t tell them apart.

I may be alone in this, but I personally feel that older GUIs were better than modern ones visually. I really and unironically think that IRIX, CDE, Win3, OS/2 Warp, and KDE1 look better than what has come after. Sadly, software has actually improved measurably in almost every other way (if you disagree, your memories are a bit rose tinted, cuz… uh… not hard restarting due to crashes is nice) and these GUIs are therefore somewhat unusable today. Also, other commenters are spot on. There are a ton of different WMs and toolkits and everything… and most of them require so much fiddling.

For full desktops: Plasma is great, but I personally dislike it for a reason I can’t put my finger on. GNOME is great once I install about 12 plugins, but then those break on updates, and I cannot stand the default GNOME experience. XFCE is “fine” but lacks some refinement. Budgie is on life support it seems. I haven’t tried enlightenment in a while. Never tried Deepin.

Measuring quality of scientific references in Wikipedia(2021)
It's a spectrum! (Insert bell curve meme with "everything is connected" on the tails and "noo! that's too coupled" in the middle ! :D)

It's also a lot of trade-offs in a big bundle. (How many people will work on the codebase? At the same time? Is the problem well-defined enough to agree on an API? How much "API evolution" are we expecting? Are there going to be wildly different user journeys based available based on state? Is this Roy Fielding persona in the room with us now? How experienced the developers are? What tools do they know well? How's the infra/devops/deployment story? Do we need to setup Maven and rebuild the whole J2EE JAR/WAR thing in order to change the CSS? Insert everything is an optimization problem meme! :`] )

And whatever stack a particular project ends up picking is just the current culmination of roughly two decades of very strong path-dependence, which itself is a result of a very weird non-cooperative speedrunning through various iterations of these problems. [0] And while the ecosystem will happily continue to churn the project will likely not have the luxury to rewrite everything every few years, so the developers ought to pick something they are comfortable with for the next X years. (And to solve for X we need to know whether this is a personal project or it's the current flagship darling of a soon-to-be multi-trillion dollar company...)

[0] For example both Flash and Java have been sent to sleep with by JavaScript, because they were not able to coevolve with that scrappy thing which was initially thrown together by in 10 days. So it made a lot of sense to not pick JS, and to keep as much as possible on the server-side, or pick Flash for some amazing UX! But the JS engine was eventually secure and built-in to every browser and JS code could be delivered fast.

Ask HN: Learning about build systems generally
The question: what resources exist to help explore build systems, specifically anything that isn’t extremely tool-specific? Or is compile/build so tool-specific that that’s all there is?

Here’s what I mean by tool-specific: resources about autotools require you to go into the guts of autotools. Resources about Cmake require you to go into the guts of Cmake. Resources about Meson require you to go into the guts of Meson. Compare that with, for example, learning about memory management. You can get quite in depth introductions and overviews of memory management without necessarily needing to get into the guts of x86-64 mm. Now, you often do. But usually as an exemplar towards the end, in order to illustrate the general principles that have been established. When I have tried to approach learning about build systems, it feels like you are immediately thrown into the weeds of how specific tools work. But my interest is not necessarily in learning one specific tool in order to use it right now.

From the beggars can be choosers front: reading material preferred, podcasts ok, videos I’m meh-ish about but if that’s what exists, hit me with them.

Squirrels! My main feeder is totally squirrel-proof. It's a tall pole and has a conical baffle (point up) about three feet above the ground. The squirrels cannot hold onto the pole and reach far enough out to get a grip on the upper side. Ha!

I spent some time when I first got it finding out just high the squirrels could jump and then positioned the baffle a couple of inches higher than that. Every so often one tries it and fails but they have learned not to bother now. I think that if two or more squirrels worked together they could manage to get round it but luckily they haven't figured this out yet.

The trouble is that the ideal model (newspapers on the whole used to cost, like, 0.25c) is extremely tricky in the online space, because payments are high friction and small payments especially are not really economically viable. I'm not sure what solution could possibly exist that wouldn't involve some hyper-common payment provider building out a service to solve this specific thing, and then getting all the online news sites to agree to use it, and then getting most visitors to accept "I need to spend less than a dollar if I want to read this article" as normal and okay.

It's ... kinda crazy when I type it out.

But that's basically what advertisements do for publishers today, and if we're moving away from that model (and we *really* should), what do we replace it with?

Hi, Jason Scott here. Just stopping in to say I'm surprised how much of this thread is about wood furniture.
This has to be one of the lamest, or if you prefer "silliest", possible responses.

>If he wants the materials to be part of a project, he should have spent the time needed to make them into a project. But really, Jason doesn’t know what to do with them, that’s why he donated them in the first place.

>It’s not much different than dropping off an attic full of miscellaneous paintings to the Met and expecting them to put them in an exhibit.

>If you want to make a qualified donation, make a qualified donation. Write up a contract that tells the organization what it’s allowed to do with your donation. Otherwise, anything is fair game.

First, as he wrote and of course you read, that is indeed a lesson he has taken:

>"Finally, this is all relatively minor in terms of the work I do and projects I focus on, an event that brought me some fury but which has mostly played the part of filed under “life lessons”. [...] My conversations with people and organizations I shift materials to are much longer, much more involved, and with much more contingencies as a result of this event, and things are better for it.

So apparently he's doing exactly as you say in response. He, rightly or wrongly, felt he'd trusted where he shouldn't have and will be more explicit about expectations going forward. That's good?

Second, trying to shift to legalism from a social complaint is crappy. He never said it wasn't "fair game" or that he'd be talking to his lawyer or any such thing. He never even implies there was a contract to the contrary, that didn't have every "right" in the legal sense to do whatever they wished. It was a terms-free donation. But just because the law lets you do something doesn't mean you're free of social reactions. If people feel you've treated them badly, even if it is totally allowed, they may exercise their freedom to tell others about it and refuse to associate with you further. Others may then react in turn, or not depending on how they judge the event. "You didn't have a contract so haha too bad for you" is not the greatest take in the world.
There are fluoride gels designed to apply after rinsing that you might consider. E.g., CTX4 [1]. There is an over-the-counter version and a prescription version, with the prescription version having a much higher fluoride level.

Many dentists sell the prescription version, often without the formality of a prescription as long as you are a patient of theirs. They are maybe 2 or 3 times as expensive as regular toothpaste, but in my experience a tube lasts way longer than a tube of regular toothpaste.

That's because when you are just using them to apply fluoride at the end rather than to clean you don't need very much. Just put a small amount on a toothbrush and rub it over all the teeth.

Companies have a legal and fiduciary duty wrt everything that goes on with their equipment and services.

Examples:

I was the regional IT director at an extremely large, French owned, financial organization that had a child pornography ring operating among a couple of employees and several outside entities. The investigation and apprehension involved the FBI.

At the same company: FINRA investigation into illegal insider trading at the commodities brokerage part of the company.

This stuff is going on all the time. Some of it involving law enforcement, national intelligence services (I have worked with fusion centers several times, too), and internal HR/legal.

You just don't know about it because you aren't in ops/secops/legal/hr/compliance.
