Historically it made sense, when most software was local-only, and text files were expected to be in the local encoding. Not just platform-dependent, but user’s preferred locale-dependent. This is also how the C standard library operates.

For example, on Unix/Linux, using iso-8859-1 was common when using Western-European languages, and in Europe it became common to switch to iso-8859-15 after the Euro was introduced, because it contained the € symbol. UTF-8 only began to work flawlessly in the later aughts. Debian switched to it as the default with the Etch release in 2010.
>Tesla’s systems are obviously not safe.

NHTSA has the ability to recall every single Tesla ever put on the road, for any safety reason, including the recent 'warning light size is too small to read'

Therefore, NHTSA also have full authority to shut down FSD, or force Tesla to rename 'Full Self Driving' to something more fitting.

Yet NHTSA allows it to be what it is. If it were truly unsafe, NHTSA would immediately put the brakes on it. (Yes, have a Friday pun.) Before anyone can call FSD not safe, a full investigation needs to occur. These are just the first steps.
> Within enterprise there still is a place for attested security keys where you can control the whole experience to avoid the vendor lockin parts. It still has rough edges though.

Just use PKI / X.509 with hybrid smartcards for enterprise use cases. Sure, it’s “legacy” and you need an PKI expert to set it up, but it actually works and is genuinely platform-, vendor- and protocol-agnostic. FIDO is smelly poo poo in comparison.

Also, smartcards had usernameless for 30 years.

Edit: actually we’ve been here before. Remember the <keygen> tag? Platforms (browsers) could generate a key pair for you, store the private key in their key store (I think <keygen> actually supported smartcards as well), and forward the public key to the server for enrollment. The server then sent the signed certificate back. That’s pretty much exactly passkeys. This was somewhat widely used for “high security” applications at its peak, circa 2007.

Similar problems like passkeys caused issues, it was difficult for users to get their keys and back them up, most people were just one hard drive crash away from loosing access.
To be exactly correct, he sued for defamation four (4) of the signatories of the open letter, because the open letter was the explicit call to action to cancel him. He can only file suit against persons within the jurisdiction of his home court in the UK, the majority of the signatories, as well as the two accusers are not UK persons and cannot be sued in that context.

Whether or not that vindicates him is an exercise to the reader.
Letting homeless overrun city parks with piles of burnt down tents and shards of crack pipes is not the correct solution to the housing crisis. Just build more homes.
Probably a more accurate statement would be: "So they got scared and jumped the gun and in so doing risked ruining someones life in an attempt to protect the Scala community."
Ubuntu is a classic distro, meaning hard-to-automate for deployments with invitation to buy services for that purpose, so offer no advantage in stability and reliability compared to modern declarative distros like NixOS or Guix System with their essentially read-only system, easy custom deploy and replication, easy rebuild, as a fresh install every time, easily poor man IllumOS Boot Environments with their linked generations.

"Normal users", meaning non tech-savvy ones are Windows or OSX targets, because with Ubuntu they still need to use a terminal a bit more than Microsoft/Apple stuff, and they still have to deploy their own systems. For a bit more "power users" having to manually deploy an official ISO than customize it or keep it up polluted, an update at a time, is a NIGHTMARE. Try to upgrade a normal Ubuntu for few releases and you'll see things breaking, you fix the manually augmented the entropy. With a declarative distro any updated inter-release and cross-release is a fresh install out of your config, no forgotten fixes/hacks no leftovers.

Those who claim Ubuntu as stable are stuck in a far past, before declarative distros exists.
I suppose this means OTP's would continue gaining traction as an alternative to password managers, a convenient approach but a risky single point of failure
The big problem I have as BSD person who occasionally needs linux for something is that the google search results are terrible. Even when specifying the OS, I often get incorrect results that show how one would do what I want to do 8 years ago, when the tools were different.
Rust has had at times multiple members of its leadership team employed by Palantir and not imploded, so probably not.
I think it basically released before it was ready, to much fanfare. Not an undeserved fanfare, but a premature one.

I think the concept is solid and they're still actively developing it, but it's not really something end-users can play with yet.
perhaps the problem is you're trying to fit computer in the wrong level of abstraction or projecting your position wrt to it incorrectly.

E.g. a computer may or may not be programmable for processes that live inside the computer.

This said, the compute abstraction is a logical gadget. Logical in the sense that it aims for consistency at a mininmum.

A logical gadget is a computer, by Curry-Howard correspondence.

This is a broad enough framework to explain why what you're debating against is the case: given that philosophy bridges language to logic and provies the framework for all sciences, seeing nature as compute is like saying there's a logic to nature.

So yes, everything is compute. Everything more detailed that that, turing machines, digits, whether it's it from bit or not is a separate matter of debate that may or may not be required.
I don't disagree. My two examples were people who not only did not collaborate, but actively resented the knowledge offered from experts different fields.

I do think that past successful collaboration can lead to a bias though. As a programmer I've solved problems for a variety of disparate industries and fields. I know just enough to know I'm vastly ignorant of those fields save for a little part that I helped solve problems for. But I've seen colleagues go the opposite route.
Commentators have noted that CHIPS and Science Act money has been sluggish. What they haven’t noticed is that it’s because the CHIPS Act is so loaded with DEI pork that it can’t move.

The law contains 19 sections aimed at helping minority groups, including one creating a Chief Diversity Officer at the National Science Foundation, and several prioritizing scientific cooperation with what it calls “minority-serving institutions.” A section called “Opportunity and Inclusion” instructs the Department of Commerce to work with minority-owned businesses and make sure chipmakers “increase the participation of economically disadvantaged individuals in the semiconductor workforce.”

The department interprets that as license to diversify. Its factsheet asserts that diversity is “critical to strengthening the U.S. semiconductor ecosystem,” adding, “Critically, this must include significant investments to create opportunities for Americans from historically underserved communities.”
Hmm.

LLM4Shell: Exploiting RCE Vulnerabilities in LLM-Integrated Frameworks and Apps
That's an ugly headline, faulting SCOTUS for failing to "rule for the ages" based on current events. That's the legislature's job, and we shouldn't want unaccountable referees to put their thumb on the scale.
Counterpoint: when the burden of proof is on the plaintiff, people can lie about terrible things with little to no consequence.

I personally have been at the receiving end of some particularly heinous lies by an individual who is unfortunately not getting the mental assistance they need. It was hard enough to secure a restraining order but my lawyer said there was pretty much nothing I could do about the whoppers being blasted over social media. Fortunately nobody believed the crazy person’s crazy lies but if they had I could have been put in a really bad situation.

Hey, just stumbled onto this, it's pretty cool but I figured I'd share my experience on figuring it out

Initial searches:

- "Godspeed": no results for GYBE

- "Pavement": no results for them; seems to be searching by song title

- "Harness Your Hopes": no results... maybe I should try something electronicky

- "Temptation": loads of results but I don't see New Order, I do see Heaven 17 when I scroll way down though so that seems weird

- "Blue Monday": finally!

Once I got a grasp on the vibes it has info on it's pretty cool! Some possible suggestions to build on:

- Having it autoplay onto the next track (would need some logic to skip past broken links too)

- I'd say include something on the landing page about the data that's involved, maybe even with some example acts; when Taylor Swift produces one result and the Beatles none it's probably gonna cause issues

- an option to filter out songs by the same act

- maybe some logic around accented characters; I noticed Beyonce brings up no results but Beyoncé does

Why contributing to open source is scary and how to contribute anyway
I would expect shared code between macOS and iOS to be a much better driver of that. 8GB is still a lot more than most iPhones have, and a large part of the OS is shared between platforms.
That claim was preceded by the language "hardly covered this". You're being uncharitably literal.
HN has been going up and down all day (I've been getting partial page loads on my profile). No conspiracy needed; there's just something busted.
And their point is that saying “copyright free” will probably be more immediately understandable to people who don’t know that and don’t want to read a small comment about copyright ‘intricacies’ (even if it’s not that intricate)

By saying copyright free, more people who need freely-licensed works like this are likely to use it instead of being warded off by “this does has a license, it’s copyrighted, but it’s actually free because of the license”

Colloquially, it’s the same thing.

No, it isn't. It is breaking a feature you should never use and which is actually better left broken. They should just fix it by giving a message to the user that he shouldn't do that.

Metaphysical libertarianism. Yeah, by definition, that's not compatible with the view that everything is determined by physical processes. This is just people freaking out over determinism. I kind of see why. "I am a physical process" sounds like "I am controlled by fate and my choices are pointless". But a person is a process that can't see the future, and a process that experiments and discovers things. Choices are the deterministic process: the person determines things. I could repeat this several times in different words but I'd just be trying to placate a kind of paranoia that happens when people realise they're physical.
I'd way rather live in the cyberpunk dystopia.
> I tie my poor mental arithmetic skills partly to never properly learning multiplication tables

I thought this too.

When you're young the multiplication table seems like a daunting thing to memorize, but after graduating university, it doesn't seem so bad.

So I went back and memorized my times tables using Anki. It was pretty easy, but ultimately changed very little and I easily forget them if I stop practicing.

I've come to realize that not mastering the times tables were a symptom, not a cause, of my learning difficulties.

Under English defamation law, libel defendants are actually functionally guilty until proven innocent.
It's not just about tech. People simply don't care about freedom or privacy any more. They're happy to give it all up if it means that an ever-expanding nanny state will care for them and protect them from all harm, whether it be international terrorism, cigarettes, or insults being hurled online.

The campaign to brand freedom ('freedumb') as a far-right ideal certainly isn't helping.
What you call "abstention or restriction" in 2024 would be the dream diet of anyone before the 1930s. We're supposedly smart monkey, we should be able to eat 25% less bacon if it means avoiding all these long term issues.

That totally makes sense. I'm not saying there aren't advantages to what is being done, but what is being done does add a level of complexity to it all.

I think there is a valid reason for tools like Pharo to exist, I don't know the answer to how to improve the situation outside of a (selfish) desire to see better beginner documentation that talks about using it for people that have zero knowledge of Pharo and similar tools. Explain it like I'm 5 type stuff. I suspect it all becomes easier once the general primitives are explained but until they are there's an inscrutability to it.
Nextcloud One – managed hosted solution from Nextcloud
Exactly. Popular ones are funded.

The point was everyone was complaining about paying for a publication. But how do you fund publishing without paying? Everyone expects 'standards' to be free, but don't they take time and effort and organization?

GQL has existed for long time, as open source, and has evolved, with a community. But eventually there is a need to 'pay' to get funding, and industry backing to grow further. And a standards organization is valuable in doing that.

Complaining it isn't 'free' is the wrong part.
Hey it's mentioned here on HN. That counts as being reported!?
Can't answer that tbh, but really, W3C is nearly irrelevant today and lives on only in the minds of people who have this idea that so-called web standards are created by W3C. W3C is into CSS still (on life support, and arguably, to avoid the bad looks of a single "browser vendor" dominating the show). But eg W3C's last involvement with HTML was three years ago [1], and their last HTML recommendation was based on WHATWG HTML snapshot January, 2020 [2]. You can check the barren place that is W3C's site yourself. I wouldn't put forth W3C as a shining example of standardization, to say the least, given the state of the web and browser diversity.

Also, you've got to understand that ISO is a complicated association of national "standard bodies" of varying legal statue, held together by international treaties. Nothing is easy and quick in that kind of environment; it's a miracle that it can produce something at all in this day and age. A way of motivating domain experts to become standard editors in the past has been to sell the standard text at high enough prices, such that the editor's own privately published book (containing a commented version of the standard text) would sell better.

Now whether the world needs another graph query language I'm not sure tbh. Certainly, I thought that creating a standard from scratch by committee was deemed less desired when Prolog (and Datalog) exist, as ISO standards even. W3C had put a lot of effort into RDF/SPARQL, and TBL' involvement with graph knowledge bases predates even WWW [3].

Your fingerprint/faceid/whatever is used to access the passkey. It is not the passkey. To that end, yes, if you are worried about clandestine access to your phone (if that is your passkey), then you probably don't want to allow access using fingerprint/faceid. And if someone can copy your passkey off of your phone, you are again compromised.
> Far more crime is done with USD than Bitcoin.

Duh? It would make sense that the de-facto currency for the IMF and state-level actors is more widely-used/abused than a nerdy toy network.

The volume of crime will always be larger on volumemetrically larger markets. Imagine the criminal-per-1000-users ratio of Bitcoin or Monero; now you're talking about something that no state-controlled fiat can match. That's why the government wants KYC, and they make a damn good case for it all things considered.
Most of it used to be Greek colonies before Roman expansion, so yes.

Ah, so there was a procedural issue in prosecuting the group with a cache of guns that wants to carve out a white nation out of Canada and the US. My mistake.

This doesn’t change the point that from the perspective of the Canadian government, they were facing 2 racist separatist groups at a time, and one of the groups was raising a LOT of cash while leading an occupation of the capital.

This is a valid scenario for seizing funds, though maybe the fact that groups like Diagalon and Wexit are a “meme” should be considered more closely.
Punishing someone more or less because of their personal justification of the crime seems batshit insane to me and how it came to pass boggles the mind.

But I agree, the original comment was confusing.

Appologies, I glossed over the word "into" from your comment. Packers are not implanted. Penile implants exist but are typically done for medical reasons (like you've fucked up your junk by jelqing). The closest thing to female breast implants is male pec implants. I'd argue Synthol is similar too, though less invasive.
I was not making any claim on whether someone's behaviour is good or bad.

I'm not saying you were, and you're not answering my questions either.

Every project management tool seems like a subset of features from 1990's project management tools, with the occasional UI innovation supporting collective decisions.

It's unclear (from the name and web site) how meegle differs or is better.

The key issue is granularity and accuracy of planning. This does not speak to that, and thus offers no promise to planners or implementors.
This was my experience with the article which could be consolidated down to a single sentence: "Manipulate and play with concepts you intend to internalize, rather than relying on rote memorization".

I would think that would be obvious to anyone that merely memorizing something like 'f=ma' would be meaningless without deliberate attempts at application (both theoretical and practical).

There was a kludgy attempt at tying the study of foreign languages to STEM, but it just amounted to, everything is ultimately a craft. You have to practice to perfect it.

Two curiosities to note:

- He did not sue his accuser. He sued people who trusted her word and amplified her allegations. England's (draconian) libel laws would require them to prove that the allegations were true. That's obviously very difficult.

- He lives in Germany, but he chose to sue in England. Germany has more typical libel laws that would require him to prove that he was defamed.
This is my problem. We have 2 cars, a 2006 and a 2007. The time will come when we have to replace them. Right now I'm just hoping that industries like crate engines take off before that happens, because I don't personally believe consumer protection laws will work.
I sorta think that for a large banner appealing to a naive audience, "copyright free" is more appropriate than "the copyright holder has waived the rights they have under copyright by granting you a non-exclusive license to use this work pretty much however you choose."

I use far more sites than I ssh into servers, which makes this much more of a pain. Like, every time I sign up to a site I need to grab all 5+ devices I might ever use and add them to every site, or I can't e.g. log into my D&D game while travelling because I forgot to generate a key on the work laptop? If all my devices are destroyed in a house fire again, I'm locked out of everything? These have been my big concerns.
