Or just prohibit them. That's a change to the law you can actually see is being enforced.

The problem with changing the spying law is that the spying is happening in secret, so there is no way to verify that they're not lying to you as they have in the past. Laws with no accountability mechanism are a farce. They need to be backstopped by verifiable structural inhibitions on the practice, like diverse decentralized infrastructure subject to competitive pressure and plausible independent reimplementation by anyone who doesn't trust the incumbents.

> someone will be defiant of the law in the public interest at a crucial point

This is required to turn back injustice. But it's more likely to be achieved the more people have the opportunity to do it.
Author here, sorry I suck. Thanks for the feedback, I've edited the article to (hopefully) use less incendiary notation.
I started watching this assuming that the nand is either slotted in or would be de-sodered. Then the micrometer scale calibration gauges for the milling machine came out and I realized what was about to happen. Quality work!

This article is two years old. I don't think things as as dire as they seem, just a bit more boring than people might like.

I can't see any sign that long-term IPv6 growth has stopped, it's just ceased to accelerate. Looking at Google's IPv6 traffic graph (https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html), this is entirely consistent with being the first half of a classic logistic curve, with growth now linear as it approaches the 50% point after 15 years. If this is actually a logistic growth curve, we will presumably see the end of IPv4 sometime around 2040. Even if we take a more optimistic view and assume linear growth continues, it will still take until about 2035.

And that's fine. Old technlogies tend to wither away, not go out with a bang.
The only valid advice given by the author is that open source contributions work much better if the person is paid or sponsored to maintain it. Other than that, do not listen to the authors advice.

95% of this article is terrible advice and at this point wastes the student’s time for free work, which is not sustainable for open source at all.

They are better off building a startup and making money out of that to fund open source projects whilst getting paid or paying others for it. The majority of companies are already doing that.

Otherwise you will end up with a wave of unmaintained packages, abandonware and no community picking it up for the long term maintenance.

Overall this is another article pontificating ‘a right way’ for students when open source is already a thankless ecosystem where maintenance is paid in time with little to nothing in return.

This is why lots of open source developers complain that no-one is paying them as they are extremely bad at pricing their own time and end up doing free work for years…

…Because companies want you developers to be happy to rip off your valuable time for free whilst your scream: ‘x company is using it!’ yet they are exploiting you by them not paying for your time.
I'm 100% fed up typing those damned semis all the time.. That's the very initial reason I embarked on a dialect of C. (That and strings)

They're mostly useless and a visual annoyance.
Agreed. What’s more, I find iCloud’s implementation in MacOS to be far less intrusive than OneDrive in Windows, which constantly pushes me to use it as a default, and has at least once unilaterally forced the issue during an update by moving my home folders into OneDrive, and leaving an absolutely wild text file titled “Where Did My Files Go.txt” on the desktop. If I don’t want to use iCloud, I can easily forget it exists.

I’m not terribly partisan when it comes to platforms, I own and actively use an M1 Mac Mini, Dell Precision running Windows, and a Kubuntu box. I understand the assertion that software ecosystems tend to be a featured player in tactics aimed to fix users on a particular device or platform, and I think there’s plenty of evidence that this is broadly the case. But I wouldn’t use iCloud as a particularly good example of it, Apple’s clearly not banking on their cloud storage to drive its revenue.
And in case it wasn't clear, I agree 100% with you. There's an amazing generative scene I've been following since the early naughties
The user is all too often not provided with debug symbols.
They already tap into every cable, no matter whether they own it or not. See NSA breaking into Google datacenters and wiretapping cables. Granted, they were only able to do this because the internal traffic was not encrypted. Still, global traffic analysis is nothing to scoff at, and with enough surveilance points privacy becomes almost nonexistent, even in the presence of encryption.
Spending 10 minutes a day on reading or math is probably fine, if you are 1:1 you can just problem solve most issues with a mainstream student, and if they are having major issues look at what special ed teachers do (they are way more scientific than mainstream teachers as they can't rely on the students componsate for bad teaching).

For older kids, it can be a bit tricky, as their goals and opinions will matter a lot more, but look into evidence based study habits for exams, and help them get assignments done with a decently efficient process I guess.
Fastmail is the best email provider in its own right, plus it's not Apple or Google. Their support is extremely responsive, even in technical matters.
This. My best friend in high school is now living on the streets somewhere in LA, stealing ("boosting") whatever he can to fund his Starbucks macchiato addiction.
I'm both in and from Australia and no expert on the US public health system.

My only point of reference is ~4 decades of usenet and web forums routinely having mention of people (in the USofA) being bankrupted by medical incidents (heart attacks, car accidents, sporting injuries, non elective surgeries, etc) that here and in the UK are relatively mundane affairs.

I struggle to fathom a country where there is a need to "renew" health coverage .. here we have 'adequate' and 'private' and essentially everybody has adequate as a fallback with no need to tie basic health coverage to an employment package that is lost when someone fires|quits.

Each to their own, here the ideals of good health and sufficient basic wage have been tied in to social contract since Federation.
After several attempt of trying it. It is still bad. Games works worse with it. So many quirks that will never be fixed because "This is by design" mindset is screwing desktop Linux's progress. They should as well give up and maintain X11 ,keep the same architecture and rewrite it with modern software development practices.
>But, if you treat computing like people treat religion, eh whatever I suppose. Your loss.

Irrelevant and ad-hominem? Nice!
Security by obscurity isn’t even bad. It’s only bad if it’s your sole defence.

I am confident that my non-default SSH ports, that only accept connections after a sequence of port knocking, adds a slight bit of security to nothing. For example: xz backdoor.
We have various tools and options, some was a bit lost on the road, some are still active and give very impressive results, some are crap, popular or not.

First crap is the WYSIWYG model, it produce not so nice results and demand very complex UIs. To produce high quality documents LaTeX so far is the best tool, PostScript itself is not known essentially anymore, {La,}TeX is often wrapper for instance in R RMD/Quarto docs to produce nice printouts, it's the de facto standard of scientific typeset and have so far no better competitors, so it's a wise choice.

Second crap is the spreadsheet concept, yes sometimes we need tables, and compute something on them. Org-mode show a simple example of table computing without being a spreadsheet, R is another, most modern NotebookUIs from Mathematica to Jupyter do the same as well. Spreadsheets was an idea to offer limited data manipulation to computer illiterate, and failed. The long tail of disasters suggest it's time to abandon such model. So we need something to store data. sv works well for non-giant dataset, they are simple than some ML dialects, for more SQLite is a popular powerful tool offering a self-contained easy to move storage. I do not like it, but for various things is good, for the rest it's deadly simple to export the DB in some other formats.

We should re-create the Smalltalk desktop model, the end-user programming concept that happen anyway today but hyper limited and in user-unfriendly ways. Take a look at Pharo, than image not just the bare bone environment but something developed like Emacs today. You imaging this: http://augmentingcognition.com/assets/Kay1977.pdf or http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/xerox/xsis/XSIS_Smalltalk_Produ... for the modern world.

Back than it fails because of high costs and general ignorance, people simply do not understand the power of this model so feel no need of it. Such legacy burden plague much the present IT as well, with people still imaging files as sheets and folders as suspended folders full of paper sheets in a drawer. Mentally most people have issue going past the paper tool even today. But today we have hw costs small enough and computers themselves spread enough to push again such model.

This model is the nightmare of all big of IT, from old IBM to modern GAFAM, because they know they can't compete with a FLOSS networked desktops model. That's why they do what they can to keep people on the old mainframe model, now the cloud, and many ignoring this keep mimicking the big e powerful not understanding that they try to replicate an archaic model born out of some Xerox spoils once they see how to change them in anti-users ways.

The "FLOSS alternative to" is the networked, end-user programmable desktop model, not some sightly different clone of some GAFAM platform.

Imakefile found, where a plain old Makefile could be sufficient. Yuck, another dependency on an obsolete piece of software (imake/xmkmf).
The law has strict standards for fairness, for good reason. It excludes things like rumor, for good reason. But when you as a private person are deciding how to act, you make the best decision available to you with the information you have. The information we have is fairly compelling: multiple women have deeply regretted their interactions with him, enough to risk lawsuits to publish their regret publicly. Why interact with him unless absolutely necessary?
OIDC is the one part of this that really is an outsize problem.

I’d say email providers are an even bigger problem though. Good luck getting your accounts back if you lose access to your own email account. I don’t know that iCloud mail is particularly popular, but the risk really applies to any provider.
Sorry, I don’t understand what you are saying. Are you claiming that the person criticising the UK state media is a fascist? Or are you saying that the state media not covering these law changes adequately make them fascist?
Speeding up C++ build times
Probably yeah, I have no idea tbh. But it works for me on x11 too if you run it, and then launch wayland only programs like:

XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland <app>
What can language models do?
Because you forked while being in a consistent state?
This requires a Dun & Bradstreet DUNS ID number, which isn’t the most difficult thing in the world to obtain, but also isn’t trivial, especially if you don’t actually have any formal business documents.
The contributions appear to be to Horizon EDA: https://github.com/horizon-eda/horizon.
Probably because your Windows 11 VM runs ARM version of Windows and I need x86 version of Windows.
So what is your point?

To produce meat you need to kill much more of the ecosystem than for vegetable option + eventually killing those animals.
One problem with this perspective is that the American left has adopted some views that a real leftist would have some disagreement with.

Point 1 is picking a side in an ongoing war in which both side have committed many atrocities. A real leftist would acknowledge this and seek an end to the conflict in solidarity with the victims on both sides. And consider that for a war that is mostly led by groups of aggressive men, the main victims of this are women and children.

Point 2 should be considered in the context of for-profit healthcare providers and their aim of maximising profit and creating repeat customers. There is a huge conflict of interest with many of those promoting their particular idea of "correct healthcare", as they profit off it. A real leftist would give much critical consideration to the capitalist and consumerist nature of the cosmetic surgeries and pharmaceutical interventions that are used in an attempt to make individuals appear to be the opposite sex.

Point 3 is something real leftists certainly do agree on but also to acknowledge there is a conflict of rights when it comes to single-sex spaces, and that it's important to listen to left-wing feminist voices on this topic rather than cede the discussion to meet the demands of males who desire to use female spaces.

Points 4, 5 and 6 do match up with the views of real leftists.
You should read Java EE standards, and Spring documentation, not Baeldung. There is design there. Finding the name of something is difficult in both, but of course React’s search space is way smaller due that Spring is larger by magnitudes, so it will be obviously easier.
We should go back to the roots. The modern web is too bloated.
Thats great. I suspect the developer experience will be much better, I hope it goes well! The pressures to strive for commercial success and meet the needs of developers, and open source are tricky but 3LC looks interesting, I think running local servers to use powerful and easy to develop browser based UIs is a great pattern. Good luck with this!
Actually this seems to me like a great idea. Why didn’t you go through with it?
Hi, this looks sorta interesting, I was wondering if you would have plans to be able to go from schematic or layout back to the jsx, so people familiar with the more traditional tools would be able to port stuff to this ecosystem?
Also I would love to see something like being able to length and/or impedance match traces as well as input pcb design rules and net constraints. Will there be an easy way to represent gnd and pwr planes/polygon pours?
The effort is actually minimal. Just export the passwords occasionally and save it in an encrypted file. 30 seconds

The issue is rather, that most people rely on these convenient services 100% and dont (want to) think about what happens in a bad case scenario.
Just as well, it should be illegal to advertise a connection with only a single dynamic /64 of IPv6 as an "Internet connection".
Definitely agree with this comment. I've been in my position for a long time and this approach does work, to give yourself somewhere to filter the noise into, where it at least isn't present in your mind.

It's not just about working out if things are valid, as I'm finding it's about being able to let things go.
The server chose violence
None of those.
The way I thought the article was going was that it’s pointless to contribute to open source if you don’t know what you are doing. The contributor needs someone to show them.

Which is a great point - how are we actually mentoring the junior engineers so that they can take over some day?
And hot grits?
Your contacts can be stored locally but your device will not work if Apple says so as it needs to be "activated" against their servers. And there is no "secondary system". So no, you are completely dependant on Apple and their infrastructure even if you (think you) store data locally.
Sure, there are drugs that are worse than others, and seeking to redirect use where possible would be good. Especially when dealing with addicts.

Some people do seek out opiates especially because of its specific effects, and I don't think you can entirely prevent that, though you may be able to reduce it with better mental health support, but even then you could also redirect use to safer options, and also segmenting out those seeking opiates from those seeking party drugs etc. so that you don't create pathways between them might well be beneficial.

To stick with my heroin example, I don't know where specifically heroin sits relative to opiates that would actually satisfy existing addicts and that's part of the challenge, but heroin itself is also nowhere near the worst opiate, and one of the negative effects of the current way we're handling this is that we've created a pathway towards more dangerous ones.

E.g. a frequent pathway to heroin use today is from oxycodone, to oxycodone on the black market after you lose your prescription, to heroin. But then it gets worse: Dealers cutting heroin with fentanyl or even carfentanyl.

Getting users nudged gently or not so gently towards the safest options that will satisfy them would in itself likely help a lot, and of course, a black market dealer has no incentive to do that unless there's a very severe difference in how they're treated by law enforcement.

Perhaps a variant of what you described would be a good first step in many places not ready for more decriminalization: Much more aggressively segmented drug sentencing by the harm of the worst drug a dealer can be connected to, and perhaps even explicitly punish "crossover" between drugs with differ harm profiles to reduce the pathways between them.

But that means being honest about the abuse potential, and not politicizing it, and that is in itself an uphill battle in many places.
To be clear, I agree with you (and my beard is kinda graying). Just pointing out that they don't.
Some of them, in Shanghai. Someone posted here that the ones from Shanghai are the cheapest (ie. fewest hours of work, not lowest sale price).
The best advice for starting out is just to start hacking on your own projects. This is the first stepping stone for being able to jump in and positively contribute to other's projects later, I think.
Those policies never take into account that part of the population which gets affected by the drug users' behaviour. I was recently approached and threatened with extreme violence by a person who looked like he was on drugs and had an unmuzzled dangerous breed of dog with him, not on the leash. The dog was chasing after joggers and he was chasing after the dog, promising people that "if you ever follow me I'll slice ya". He picked on me too and listed the things he would do to me while his dog was too close for comfort. Central London, broad daylight. Compassion for drug addicts is a hard sell, because there are so many of them and they show no desire to change because "I'm an addict, I can't help it".
Btw, dont’t remember Turbo C or Borland C++ to be able to compile to 32-bit x86 on DOS
Thinking parallel is heavy mental load to carry even if rust gives you the tools to make the load lighter.

If one or two threads(game loop & rendering threads) is enough why increase the difficulty by going even more concurrent, for little to no extra payout.

Show HN: Publishing Your AI Application Online
Greetings,

If you are developing an AI application, or are in the process of doing so, this announcement may be of significant interest to you. I am currently developing a tool designed to facilitate the online publishing of AI applications. This tool supports both synchronous and asynchronous apps and includes features such as response streaming, all within a user-friendly chat interface. Moreover, it is fully implemented in Python.

For those interested in early access, I invite you to join our waitlist. By joining, you will also receive access to several open-source applications I have developed, which could serve as valuable references for your projects. Please find the waitlist link below:
https://cycls.typeform.com/waitlist1?typeform-source=docs.cy...

Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to helping you bring your AI applications to a wider audience.
You don't need a point when you're clearly trolling.
I had the chance to work at CERN at that time (student, then PhD). I remember navigating on a demo site and being the visionary I am, I thought "ah, cool. Time for lunch".

I also mined some 100 bitcoins when they just appeared, out of curiosity. I forgot about the program running and came back to see these ~100 bitcoins. Being the visionary I am, I thought "ah, cool. Let's clean up and time for lunch".

Some people are doomed to be executors and only catch up.
Now that you post this it puts things in a totally different light
He admitted to lying about it? Do you have a source for that? I couldn't find anything.
> updates that gave me new encryption keys

On iOS or macOS? Was a consent dialog presented before the update was installed?
Well sorry, but it wasn't obvious

I still think it's a bit condescending because at the end of the day, especially in indie games, there are less constraints of maintainability, you just want to ship something that works fast. On top of that, the performance constraints force you to do things perceived as heresy in other areas (global singletons, functions you can call from anywhere, not catching any exception...)

And finally, since when you're doing a game you're often trying to do something innovative and very specific, you can't really just pick a book about design and implement it.

So, I think it's not about "caring" or not, it's just that it's an useless overhead
I sold it because I am not on all anymore but my GPD Pocket 2 was much smaller (it would fit in the pocket of my pants) and it would charge on a 20W smartphone usb-c charger.

My wild guess is if you are taking a laptop with you, you are likely to use some kind of bag so having a charger around is no big deal, especially if you are in someone's home. And if you are in a social place, you won't stay connected for hours as it is pretty antisocial, you are likely to have to have several phone calls and you will be asked to leave anyway so you usually fix the problem quickly and if not possible you just pay the bill and go back home.
I think I like you. :)
Starcraft supported direct-dial too and a friend and I played it that way all the time.
I’ve seen several videos by reputable fixers that demonstrate empty NANDs working fine with DFU factory restore.
Same situation on Mn MacBooks.

Would be weird in the actual mass production process if the flash would need to be pre-programmed somehow; one DFU process IMO must be able to do everything needed.

could be somewhat related, last week I had a successful login for my Apple ID from a location I didn't recognise (somewhere in central asia).

I noticed because I got a prompt on my phone, which requested I allow (or disallow) the access.

Since I'm pretty good about password hygiene and security, I of course changed my password immediately and force-signed out all my devices.

That being said: if someone has a password list and is using a bot to scan them all; Apple will of course lock-out sign-in attempts.

Not to say what they're doing is right, there's better ways to handle it. But if I were to apply very recent anecdotal data to this even then this is a meaningful conclusion I could draw.
