I think regrets are somewhat of a pointless exercise (that is, there are exceptions, but much fewer than seems to be the assumption)

One takes a decision considering:

1. the best information available,

2. the sum total of your fears and complexes.

3. sometimes picking a choice without a clear cut set of criteria to make an informed decision.

Years later, what's the point regretting it? It means that you are now perhaps a different person, maybe more secure. Maybe you have information now that wasn't available to you then. Maybe you have grown to be the kind of person that can now make sense of the information that was given then. If the conditions were replicated (including your internal state), you'd likely make the same decisions.

You should of course reflect on it to learn and grow, and in particular, make amends if you wronged someone. But there is little point in dwelling on the past and saying, "if only ..."
OMG, just yesterday I wrote a comment saying that I regret not learning K (I instead chose J) due to being too hung up on the notion of free software at the time... What a coincidence! Now I have no excuses anymore, time to learn K!
I hate it too. I understand what people had against it though because Apple (led by Scott Forstall) took it wayyyy too far at one point. The notepad, the game center, it was a joke. It became its own objective.

I think the current bland flatness is a kneejerk reaction to that (kicked off by Jony Ive who was probably angered by Forstall's design).
I wish the author had given the model of the HDD and pictures of the PCB and connector. I think it'll probably be reasonably simple to hook that up somewhere else to copy the data. I work at a place where we do this sort of thing all the time, even with 30 year old hardware or older, the problem is just getting out of the software solution box. This isn't a software problem and it requires a different sort of expertise for the most part.
Can someone explain to me like I'm five, what this "publishing" actually means now in an age where any researcher can upload a PDF containing their research onto the internet for free?

Are they say more like "curators"?
Retweets are arguably better then the alternative since they create a chain of association back to the original source.

The problem is people uncritically believe the original source which is just someone saying something like "I just heard X is happening!" with no actual evidence at all.

Interesting questions, thanks for asking!

We never got that far. At that point, the code was what it was. Despite any possible design flaws, it worked. And dealing with FAA data that really never changes at all, once it worked, that was good enough.

"If it ain't broke..." ;-)

My job after that was to move on to other countries' airspace and obstacle data. So I tried to apply the appropriate amount of humidity on those.
Same - I've been slowly migrating to Render (https://render.com) as my new favourite.
This sounds like a way to make trial lawyers obsolete.

roughly how many tons of TNT would it take to heat the atmosphere that much?

So what? Reducing a situation to its essentials is an entirely valid argument / debating technique.
Curiously enough, the youtuber who tried this with windows XP did the same thing with Windows 98 [1]. And it gets hit by strange packets and scans, but that system was fine even when running for a day or two.

Caddy can either use something sophisticated like FrankenPHP, which I very much look forward to using soon now that it seems stable, or a regular old FastCGI SAPI.
Seems like the Key & Peele's Computer History sketch needs an update.

I wanted to get ahead of things before things took a downward trend (just compare to the reddit posts on this subject and it's full of people mocking it and calling out people for being "deceived" and other such)
The firewall was disabled by default in XP until SP2...
He showed K @ Royal Society & bunch of apl & aplus guys were there. Someone asked , where are the comments? AW said comments get out of date with all the changes, if you can’t read the code you Shldnt be working on it. We then all looked at each other..
The only possible advantage I can think of is that you can fit more code on one screen so I guess in theory you can see your context more easily. But that seems pretty minor compared to... well, look at it!

I read a couple of other threads and some people try to claim less code = fewer bugs, but that's pretty clearly nonsense otherwise minifiers would magically fix bugs.

As for why people actually use this (it seems like they really do), my guess would be that it's used for write-only code, similar to regexes.

Like, using a regex you can't deny that you get a lot of power from not many keystrokes, and that's really awesome for stuff you're never going to read again, like searching code in your editor, one throwaway shell commands.

But they also tend to be completely unreadable and error prone and are best avoided in production code.
I dont even need to read beyond the title for a change, its been more than 10 years now since I have used windows in a business environment (linux on my main machine, mac for my second) and there is already no way I would go back to it.

But good grief wtf. I was mostly joking when I said before MS was intentionally trying to kill windows, but is there actually any other explanation for implementing this "feature"?
> Your blog isn't a diary

A blog is exactly what the one who writes it wants it to be.
I somehow did. My previous company started to enforce everyone living in cities in which they had offices, to RTO. I was working far away from any of such cities, and they let me continue working remotely. But seeing many of my colleagues go to the office just to open Zoom to chat with me was sad. I found another (remote) job and resigned.
The real harm in Recall and I so much wish there was an authority who stepped in and slapped Microsoft into next week because of it: abusive relationships. Now your abuser can see everything you've done on your computer so if you try to get out your situation will worsen and also because of this you might not dare to seek help on said computer.
"Quality standards" like using whatever old version of library the distro provides. And yes it's a madhouse both for app developers and for distro developers

This problem is exacerbated by things like the Canonical interview process where your hiring is intrinsically tied to having drank the whole koolaid and thinking it's the best thing around

We need a linux distro made by people who hate linux. People who buy no excuses. Maybe then things will work
I started using the term about twenty years ago: https://simonwillison.net/2003/Nov/24/blogmarks/

It's basically my name for a link blog. My biggest inspiration for this is https://daringfireball.net where most of the posts are links plus commentary but sometime they are full blown essays in their own right.

https://waxy.org is another link blog that I really like.
I had a similar idea and built linkfeed for it - though blogmark probably makes more sense.

Here's mine: https://linkfeed.net/u/5rh44yzy

Yes, my ex would have loved to have used this to see everything I was doing on a computer… then dox all my private data to Facebook for a laugh.

Exactly. So please tell me why I would want to essentially allow something like this on my machine?

As for the scifi-esque abilities: All my important information is stored in a personal wiki, which is automatically backed up and encrypted on a backup server. It's fully tagged, its fully searchable. And you know what? I have even set up a pipeline to feed it into a locally run LLM if I want to. Yes, I can do RAG on my personal wiki.
Just as Inform 7 works because people who write adventure games are the least likely to mind having to play "guess the verb", K source works because people who write vector languages are the least likely to mind expressing algorithms with, not display: block, but display: inline.
The problem is that if applied rigourously, this would also mean banning all mainstream outlets.

Good. Toyota needs to get off their haunches and release something actually competitive. From what I've read the bZ4X is mostly about giving people a bad first experience with EUVs, which is unfortunate because an EUV RAV4 would have been my perfect car.
> As a user I want to download the thing and run it. AppImages provide that.

Yes. And no.

About 70-80% of AppImages I downloaded in the past didn't even start. 100% of my installed Flatpaks have been running fine on any distro I tried. I would love a world where Flatpak was redundant, but it very clearly isn't.
What does that mean? If you don’t want to follow accounts, I would have thought that sort of social media isn’t for you (which is a pretty valid stance!)
At least the password manager I use has solid encryption. I can control where the file lives and what file permissions it has. For instance, I can keep it on a USB stick that I only insert when I need a password and then remove the stick afterwards.

I do not remotely whatsoever trust Microsoft or Windows to keep their Recall database secure and offline. Attackers will know exactly where the file is, unlike with my password manager. There's no shortage of Windows privilege escalation exploits to gain TrustedInstaller status to read any file on the system.
Perhaps that’s more prevalent in the US and wealthier districts? I haven’t seen any of that in the UK (everyone here seems to use WhatsApp, Instagram, and Snapchat which I similarly dislike)
Retweets on Twitter predate the official feature, people used to prepend "RT @username" to the message they wanted to retweet. So I don't know that you could ever stop this.
Well I know what the next episode of the arraycast is going to talk about now.
in the best tradition of "peripatetic scholarship"?
Way back, like waaaaay back, you can imagine strangers meet out in the wilderness, each wary of the other. To determine threats or potential friends they would need to establish trust. Where you are from, who you know, do we know the same people, do you lie, etc. "Ah, you know the Baker and are traveling through here to trade with them."

Early webs of trust were on personal knowledge of others. I think a similar web of trust needs to reemerge. Vouching and relationships and when the vouchee messes up it affects the voucher. Imagine if your relationship graph could crumble when you let someone into the circle of trust who ends up a wolf.

If you could cut out whole circles of trust when they are compromised, we could maybe get more authentic web back. See shit ads or blog spam, penalize the circle that houses it by no longer seeing its content.

Many smaller circles join to other circles, where irl know people in the first circle. Like a new take on web rings.

If your only portal to the internet was through your rings and related rings, we may get echo chambers but we may also gain the ability to remove bad actors from our immediate rings. Fake news propaganda? Penalized the ring and all members until that wolf is removed.

I want to highlight another aspect to this that doesn't seem to be mentioned: reddit.

We all know about adding "reddit" or "site:reddit.com" as a search term. So does Google. We saw in the recent leaks how Google is increasingly value reddit as a source. Why do we do this? Because it's one of the few remaining places that isn't completely astroturfed.

But this is a temporary situation. You can see this on any controversial topic. It is incredibly easyto hijack a subreddit or simply change what bubbles by brigading posts. This can be with real people (usually coordinated via a Discord) or with bots. This is not simply a bot detection problem. It might be viewable as a voting ring problem but I have my doubts.

Depending on the size of the subreddit this may only take dozens of people acting in concert. Even larger subreddits may only take a few hundred. But such a group can completely change what posts make it to the top and also what comments on each post make it to the top.

My point here is taht many on HN and elsewhere like to bemoan "fake news" on social media, which is a real problem to be sure. But at the same time they will extoll the virtues of reddit. The only difference is they're either unaware of reddit manipulation or it hasn't happened to their favorite subreddits yet.
For me, the promise of Caddy and especially tools around it like FrankenPHP make the "everything in a single binary" idea the MORE enticing option, not less.

Sure we already have repeatable infrastructure, containers, etc. but I also love the idea of just building and shipping a PHP app binary that includes the webserver. It makes server provisioning even less of a priority, especially if I have reasons to not use serverless or PaaS tools.
Thanks. I'm now reading this where people are trying to explain what happened in the ref/ directory.

In a system where everyone breaks the law (because there are so many) and everyone is spied on (so you can prove anyone did some sort of “ crime”) you can now coerce anyone you like if you get to make the decision of who to charge (like governments do) which is useful for silencing descent or opposition.
A Review of the HP Elitedesk 705 G4 Mini PC (Raspberry Pi Killer with a Caveat)
>Nowadays, everything is behind NAT and there aren't any infected Windows XP machines

All end-user PCs have been behind NAT since the late 90s unless the system was a dialup straggler. Enterprise users raw-dogging the internet only have themselves to blame.
Even in that case, the people posting those statements probably believed that at the time.
E.g. msnbc, New York Times, cnn
I don't quite understand what you mean by "any ipv6 deployment will have this". When my ISP switched to IPv6, my internal devices were exposed to the internet and the only thing that stopped the incredible amount of bot traffic was my own on-device firewall that I explicitly turned on and configured. Luckily I don't have any smarthome stuff, not sure how I'd configure a firewall on a lightbulb. These devices didn't have a public IPv4 before that. And a bonus - the ISP didn't say anything about this possible consequence, just "we're making some changes".

NAT has more benefits - I don't want anyone to know how many devices I have at home, I don't want anyone to know which one I'm using to access their website, I don't want anyone to try guess the OS and version of my devices, etc. And now I'm scared to have a simple DLNA media server because I can't just install WireGuard on the TV. I'm probably going to buy a router and make my own NAT soon (don't have access into the ISP modem).

I felt better when the whole municipality had a single IP address. A lot of bullshit ads - means the targeting wasn't working. Now they're way too good.
I understand. Nobody* will care.

People already have traded privacy and a comprehensive personality profile for silly streams of video, photos and text on social media for the past 20 years. Imagine what happens, when you get something immensely useful out of it.

Today, nobody will work with you, if you are unable to manage E-Mail. In the future, nobody will work with you, if you can't properly use the time information dimension that this technology enables. You will simply look demented by comparison.
The origin story of trump's guilty verdict
The article argues that AI won't make companies a huge amount of money, which isn't exactly the same as what the title implies. For example the article discusses how open source models have significantly improved. That's bad for OpenAI, but good for open AI.
Yep. Before I knew what it was, I genuinely thought that an issue occurred when my connection established. That’s how fast it was, and it was consistently that fast.

A firewall is a firewall. If TCP/IP routing is properly setup (and afair Windows XP default settings for non-home networks where alright) and you browse the internet responsible, you can survive for quite a while I guess.
Applying through a job board is like shooting an arrow into the sky. It's very hard to know what happens once you apply because it feels like there's no human behind it.

But we often find jobs which is posted on social media and we can reach the person directly. https://www.careerbrige.com/ is the platform which curates all the jobs posted on twitter.

Try and let me know if it helped!
It’s also sometimes an important phenomenon. Remember when it was impossible to talk about the lab leak theory without being labeled?

Eventually mainstream media came around, but they did a lot of damage to their credibility. Not to mention the whole Iraq having weapons of mass destruction narrative that many of us grew up seeing proven false firsthand.

At this point I just don’t trust anything. It’s fortunate to be of a scientific mindset, since you can make up your own mind with some confidence that you’re not crazy. That doesn’t really work for most people, which seems like the main problem you touch on.
hahaha, Why you give me angry vote, this is true that New Yorker offered resources to racism and colonialism.
I suppose in our new world of LLMs, using as few tokens as possible means you can cram more in a small context window, which could be helpful in various ways.

So yes, the choice of font looks to be quite deliberate.

Beyond fire risks or whatever, I actually don't see a problem with different battery models etc. The interface to the grid isnt exactly complicated, and decentralised storage seems like it would actually be quite robust and useful.

In a legal sense, most jurisdictions require some form of certification for such systems anyway, and the true diy versions are never going to be very common regardless.
Consider the fact that they only looked at twitter a scientific limitation too.

Your argument is nothing but a fluffy ad hoc reaction which ironically imho enables these supersharers.

They'd just wear nice clothes and be well groomed enough, bonus point if they're in uniform, and everybody would trust them.

Knowing who to trust has never been our forte.

This is absolutely false. This only became common when wireless networking became ubiquitous, which wasn't until probably a decade later.
AFAIK, nginx doesn’t require root. If you’re thinking about the ability to bind port 80/443, you should be able to do that via CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE.

With that said, Caddy is pretty rad.
The Code of Hammurabi has more in it about protecting property than people, so...

Also, you've conflated 'enforcement of the law' with 'the law protects property more than people'. Why?

For most of history the people with the power to create and enforce laws were also the people with the most property. This isn't some big mystery.
This looks like the usual ipv6 kool aid batshit. I don't want a bunch of kids and enemy states poking at and port scanning my laptop directly, regardless of whether or not I have a firewall enabled.

Yeah, adding DUPE to this all of a sudden has made it disappear off the top spot (and main page) so people will be less likely to find out about this today.

> But they [regexes] also tend to be completely unreadable

Regular expressions can be constructed using various syntaxes. Some are optimized for writing them out quickly, and some are not. Choose the latter when going to production, and you'll be fine.

As for K/J/APL - it's similar. You can write incredibly terse code which works wonderfully in a REPL (console). Working in an interactive manner is the default mode of operation for those languages. If you ever worked with Numpy/Pandas or similar, in a REPL, you likely concocted similarly terse monstrosities. Check your %hist the next time you have a chance. Going to production, you naturally rewrite the code instead of just committing the first one-liner that produces the desired results.
