Honestly, I wouldn't call him a conservative in any real sense. He pisses off liberals, but that doesn't make him a conservative. He just has a few shared points of opposition.

And I'm with the GP, he's someone who I think should fail, but I'm also torn: I also don't like a lot of the people who dislike him, and I wouldn't like the schadenfreude they'd feel if he fails.
That's a very exiciting project, do you plan to write more tutorial and demos?
Yeah, it's been a while, but I recall hockey getting it first, people not liking it, and then it working out for the football version.
Ignoring errors is a thing you can do whether you're checking them or not. Rust does enforce error checking, every Result<T, E> is required to be checked before the value can be accessed. The only exception for this is if you don't need to access the Result's value, for which there's at least a built-in warning. And of course `unsafe`.

Firefox has had PiP for yonks. And is this release really only for Windows 11? I thought pretty much everyone was skipping that, like Vista and 8.

There's a lot of variables at play with idle power consumption, so the devil is in the details with what is actually being compared.

So is this an FDW that provides a similar function to Amazon Athena?

Does every query fetch everything again or does it somehow cache the downloaded data files?

Running something like this on EC2 is interesting as you wouldn’t pay the intermediate transfer costs. Only the final results would egress.

Finnish Criminal Policy: From Hard Time to Gentle Justice (https://epublications.marquette.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?arti....)

Yes. False beliefs breed more false beliefs, and at some point they catch up with us.

I had a colleague who was fanatically into soccer. I asked how does he feel when his team loses? It is devastating for many especially in big games. But he said he is willing to take the risk of rooting for a specific team and possibly losing because it gives him excitement. It's a bit like a drug really you get addicted to your team winning. It's a bit like any gambling addiction.

If you had no interest in the outcome of a soccer-match you wouldn't get very excited watching it.

In reality most people don't have a real interest in a soccer-game since they don't gamble money on it. Therefore it seems people pick a soccer-team to root for BECAUSE we want to get excited. We want that adrenaline. (or is it dopamine?) We want to believe that the arch of history tends towards our team winning.

False Belief 1: If my soccer-team wins I'll be much better off, much happier.

Consequent False Belief: Since my team did not win I must now be desolate. I must feel bad.

Yes, if we had direct contact with the higher being that created our universe, or any proof of their existence, humans would no longer require faith regarding the existence of God...

How would you use this theory if you didn't believe it held any truth? You certainly can't draw any corollaries from it. If it is actually a relevant condition worth considering, then you must believe it to be tenable to some degree.

There's a condition where when I kick a ball, just before I touch it, the ball actually invisibly flies to the moon and back and then moves forward. It would be a condition under which Newton's laws fail... but I would have to actually believe in that condition to some degree to use it. It is also similarly unfalsifiable. With current observations it is scientifically untenable, and believing in that condition would require faith.

Any model can be proven incomplete if you conjure up unfalsifiable conditions that exist outside its domain and believe in them.

> b(1): firm belief in something for which there is no proof

For you to use the theory of creation in any meaningful way you must believe it is tenable. For you to believe it is tenable, without being faithful, there must be proof. Proof of this existence comes in many forms, where is your proof? Morality? Reason? Those aren't entirely scientific proofs...

Just to be clear, I'm not trying to censure or disprove creationism and the metaphysical systems built upon it, they are very important and super interesting... but I don't think any of them are without a bit of faith, and they are certainly beyond science's capabilities. This is why I was saying it was interesting that science could invoke faith in some way.

It is an argument, although that might count as unusually cruel or disproportionate for a crime like this. Even murderers in Finland are typically pardoned and released after 12-15 years.

Ask HN: Why would anyone work for a startup?
This is in response to a HN post from today [Autotab](https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/autotab/jobs/V5V8saO-founding-engineer)

"We are building a tiny, ambitious team that works shoulder-to-shoulder 6 days / week."

"Compensation: $130 - $180 / 0.50% - 2.49%
Location: NYC"

Why would anyone work six days a week for 0.5%?

At 0.5% ownership, the company needs a $40million valuation for this equity to be worth $200K pre-tax.

If they have more investment rounds and you get diluted to 0.1%, for the equity to be worth $200K the company needs a $200million valuation.

So here's my question: What factors might make these terms appealing, or what might be the reasons someone would consider such a role despite these conditions?

edit: "these conditions" being average/low base, equity with tiny prospects of becoming life-changing money, work 6 days a week

Hey! That's amazing that you found this.

I haven't benchmarked much, but I think I measured a 15% hit on speedtest1 [1] (with about 10% inside your library). Less if I kept temporary files in memory. Other solutions claim less of a performance hit. I'd have to measure to make sure.

There are some things I could do to improve performance. A partial block update needs a read-update-write cycle; journals and WALs do some of these. I could buffer consecutive writes in memory unencrypted and only flush them on fsync. Didn't do that as it requires some additional bookkeeping.

I don't think Encrypt and Decrypt allocate at all! They encrypt/decrypt in-place; the returned slice just aliases the input block. But thanks, it'd be pretty bad if they did.

> Does that imply that a compiler emits code that nothing can understand?

Bizarre take. No, compilers in the classical sense target byte code and machine code which is meant to be interpreted by a byte code interpreter or a hardware machine.

> Or are you saying that 'transpile' is no more than another word for 'compile'?

Yes. Compilers translate from one language to another. Transpilers translate from one language to another. Both have the objective of preserving the behavior of the program across translation. Neither has the objective of making something intended for humans as a general rule.

That transpiled code (if we draw a distinction) targets languages meant for humans to read/write means that many transpiled programs can be read by people, but it's not the objective.

I did find this quote interesting from the IDI poll[1]

> Asked by the IDI which issue should be at “the heart of the election campaign,” 54% said violence in Arab society, 16% said housing, 11% said the status of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in the Old City of Jerusalem, and only 5% said the Palestinian issue.

What I take from this is that Israeli-Arabs care a lot more about their own community as Israeli-Arabs than the prospects of their neighbors in Palestine having a free Palestinian state.

No matter which upstream DNS you use, if you have a local resolver, you might be able to configure it to resolve archive domains with google's dns, which has consistently worked for me for years.

If you use dnsmasq (either bundled inside pihole or not), this line in its config will make it use google dns to resolve archive.is and archive.ph:

server=/archive.is/archive.ph/8.8.8.8

I started using blocky instead of pihole recently, and I have this in my blocky config.yaml to do the same thing:

conditional:
fallbackUpstream: false
mapping:
archive.is: 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4
archive.ph: 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4

Yes, exactly! And it should be escalated a bit more so Russians would be dissuaded from doing this again. "Oh look, that Crimean bridge fell, how unfortunate!" or "another munitions warehouse blew up in Siberia: oh that's too bad". Sadly, I don't think current Western leadership [1] is up to it. It requires playing dirty and getting on Putin's level. Sadly, I think that's the only language he understands. Any appeasement is seen by him as weakness to be taken advantage of.

[1] Macron recently showed some surprising boldness, probably noticing Americans dragging their feet with the aid package and Germans being terribly indecisive as well. Not a bad political play.
This is a point that doesn't get made enough. Even in a world of "junk" - more stuff gets thrown out for obsolescence than for breaking.

Programming languages have lumbered slowly towards UTF-8 by default but from time to time you find an environment with a corrupted character encoding.

I worked at an AI company that was ahead of its time (actually I worked at a few of those) where the data scientists had a special talent for finding Docker images with strange configurations so all the time I'd find out one particular container was running a Hungarian or other wrong charset.

The complaint is that the code architecture of systemd results in security problems for their _customers_.

The inclusion of a library to send notifications shouldn't have external dependencies, it shouldn't need them. The library is included in the customer's codebase at execution time, so it is a hole in the customer's security model. This immediately opens a supply chain attack vector (which is what we saw).

This is being taken as evidence that they shouldn't have responsibility for truly security sensitive code - the replacement of sudo.

Some of this is a long-term dislike for systemd and some representative bias. However, Systemd has missed the opportunity to make their client libraries safer.

Personally? I wouldn't have thought to limit the dependencies of my client libraries. It's a growth and project age thing. One moment you're on one side of a line, the next you have to skill up and do things differently.

Using systemd as intended shouldn't result in security holes for their customers.

With OpenTofu exclusive features making such an early debut, is the intention to remain a superset of upstream Terraform functionality and spec, or allow OpenTofu to diverge and move in its own direction? Will you aim to stick to compatibility with Terraform providers/modules?

Is the potential impact of community fragmentation on your mind as many commercial users who don’t care about open source ideology stick to the tried-and-true Hashicorp Terraform?

Is there any intention to try and supplement the tooling around the core product to provide an answer to features like Terraform Cloud dashboard, sentinel policies and other things companies may want out of the product outside of the command line tool itself?

I'm probably wrong, but I always thought for platforms like .Net and JVM, AoT delivers the same performance as JIT in most cases. Since a lot of information is available before runtime, unlike JS where VM always needs to be read, ditch optimized byte code and go back to the whiteboard.
While Arc doesn't have subscription model yet, I can see them going in that direction.

From their FAQ[1]:

> To do that, we’re excited about business models that align our incentives with the people who we serve: from charging companies that want to increase the productivity of their teams across the many tools they use for work, to making it easier and safer to pay for things online.

So far they have been doing various small QoL for popular websites[2].
My favorite one is GitHub Live Folders[3], which is kinda like automatic bookmark/pinned tabs for your own GH PRs.
I can see people paying for these collections of small nice things if they keep adding more.

Of course they also AI-powered features, dubbed Arc Max[4].
