I guess SerenityOS is somewhat doomed now? I never saw this kind of move ending well, honestly. Even when not involved, having the original around is always a great boon to the popularity of a project.

I for one would love to see the SerenityOS GUI ported to Wayland on Windows. It's precisely what I ask for from an OS honestly.
Our HN user, mr-wendel, worked at the company, but I'm not sure they said what their job was. It might have been sysadmin, but since mr-wendel talks about snitching on a senior sysadmin directly to the CEO, it's save to say that the sysadmin did not report to mr-wendel; and I presume that mr-wendel was a lot lower an the pecking order.

I don't think the senior sysadmin was paid to hide browsing from the oversight?

I guess you haven't spent much time in Europe recently. Deregulation is considered a swear word over there. I do not advise using it around Europeans.

Also, if you say something that sounds like "free speech" their heads explode. It's quite spectacular to watch.
I assume you're talking about the pack_map.c used during build? That just was written in C because I had the .map parser already lying around from another side project. If I had done it from scratch for this project it likely would have been JS or PHP, too.
As Long As it Suits the Community, I guess. I might be naive, but the reasons he gave for his decision don't strike me as selfish.
Each neurodivergent case or autism spectrum has different deficiencies, and it is hard to have a single job that would work for them.

Maybe creating a map/matrix of possible jobs would be a useful outcome? Also with their respective strengths.

I'm sure that there are communities on LinkedIn about it, but I'm not sure if you could get really meaningful contribution.
I'm pretty sure that in the EU (and the USA), even fictional CP is illegal. That is, even drawings or stories of CP are illegal, and certainly AI-generated images would fall under that banner.
> Ladybird now targets Linux and macOS. The SerenityOS target is dropped.

Why dropping the SerenityOS target??

Does this mean that SerenityOS's Ladybird will need to continually pull patches from the new Ladybird project in order to keep development?

Also: is it really a fork if the new project gets to keep the name "Ladybird"? Will SerenityOS's browser need to be renamed, or there will be two diverging Ladybird projects with the same name? (Maybe a qualifier would help, like SerenityOS Ladybird vs Open Ladybird or something?)
Way to derail my argument. This is not about literally everybody accepting everything, but that the vast majority of people will accept the default option. This has been studied over and over. The cookie banner madness is that so many cookie options are implemented as dark patterns: consent is easy, rejection is not.

I'm looking into buying a resin printer for our company for very special applications where we need a higher resolution than a FDM printer.

Buying a "premium" model with proper support, a service contract etc. is totally fine for a business investment. I would get lots of raised eyebrows if I were to buy a "hobby machine" for 1/5 of the price.

So... There's a place for machines like these.
> Ladybird now targets Linux and macOS. The SerenityOS target is dropped.

Aww :(

I can understand forking the browser from the OS, but I'm a bit sad about this. I hope SerenityOS can have a first-class browser in line with the OS philosophy.

Well, that's how software is, but that article is from 2008 and things have gotten a lot better in the meantime (I think archlinux wasn't even signing their packages back then).

If the distribution's private keyring isn't compromised and you don't have third-party repos, your packages are as trustworthy as your distribution team (and upstream).
I doubt it. The day it fucks state level companies with issues accessing the Telegram API or libre/FLOSS APIs/services such as GUIX under Inria using XMPP/VoIP tools, the working days of these EU bureaucrats are numbered.
Try to understand how the algorithm works. If you do, please share the mental gymnastics routine you use to make it look like spying. It is not spying in any reasonable sense, definitely not the sense of the proposal by EU lawmakers.

This is a bit silly. Apple tried to do this and it was deemed overwhelmingly anti-consumer. This is like wanting private phone calls, but also blaming phone companies for sex lines. This isn't a fine line for companies to walk. It's a line of negative width.
Sad to hear. Hacking on SerenityOS together with Andreas was some of the most fun I've ever had. Wishing him the best of luck with Ladybird, and hoping he will come back once in a while (become the TYVC? :).
its very very hard to imagine someone that does not know about the radiation symbol
This is one of the kindest "I'm forking xyz" posts I've ever read. The whole thing is some level of heartwarming, and unlike a lot of the other posts in the same range actually makes me consider contributing to either Ladybird or SerenityOS!
You are partially right.

Another justification for making parts of basic training hard, is that fighting a war is hard.

So before they send you out into the field, they should make sure they know how you handle sleep deprivation, bad food and confusing orders etc.

oh that is interesting, I haven't thought about changing the appearance of the piece to convey more info. That's definitely something worth exploring.

And I agree as well that pawns changing track when they capture can be a fun one. It could even make you reconsider a capture if the pawn is on a good track and would end up on one that turns to the side.

I'm not promising I'll change the current behavior, but that does make me think.

I love yocto, but ‘immediately’ can sometimes take a while!
I somewhat agree with you. Also:

It’s absurd to suggest that users of an e2ee chat service can reasonably expect the service provider to “take a look” at the pictures they share.

But sadly, that's already happening. It's probably best to avoid sharing any private pictures on Facebook, WhatsApp, TikTok or any public cloud. Because you never know who might have access or gain access in the future. And isn't Google actively scanning their Drive user's files and removing presumed adult content, too? And didn't Dropbox one tweet about the X-th file uploaded being a cat photo? How did they know?
Them too. At least there are should be strong rules about the welfare of farm animals and minimising their suffering during slaughter. I hope for improvements in synthetic meat as well and think cell cultures could help with that. I can't live without a lot of tasty protein.

But those Horseshoe crabs are kept alive and bleeding constantly.
Damn I was worried for a second there, fearing some sort of falling out with the community. But this is awesome news! Ladybird is a far more important project to focus on imho.

Fellow late granny knot lover, I see...

They self identify as a "regulatory superpower", the EU officials see their primary strength not in the economic and social strengths of their member states, but in the gigantic bureaucracy that they have created.

EU economies have benefited greatly from the removal of barriers between countries. The EU officials didn't see that as a sign that the strength of the EU lies in their members freedom, but as a sign that now every single issue should be regulated by EU officials.

That is why you have laughable things like the recent AI regulations. An entire continent with barely a single AI company wants to tell the rest of the world what to do. The cause is pretty clearly in the delusional minds of EU officials who genuinely believe that their regulation are worth more than the paper they are written on.

> The warping one is strange, warping is caused by thermal expansion/contraction and resin doesn't really change temperature during the printing process.

In my experience with resin, you can get misshapen parts for a bunch of reasons:

1. Resin will change size a bit during and after curing. Not by a large amount, and of course it depends on the type of resin you use etc - but enough. And of course if your design has some thick bits and some thin bits, one might shrink more than the other.

2. Every time the machine exposes the resin, it sticks to the previous layer and to the projector screen/LCD. The machine then lifts the model, to unstick it from the projector screen. This applies force to the model, and can cause it to bend by a tiny amount - which can gradually build up over several layers.

3. Resin has to be somewhat UV transparent, for each layer to cure all the way through in a short exposure time. Because of that, UV curing later layers can pass through the part and cure resin that shouldn't be cured, on earlier layers. This is particularly the case if the shape has areas resin can pool up and won't run off.

> PLA is brittle as well, about the same as standard resin. Just like with FDM, there are other formulations, but the materials are different, and perhaps there are no good analogs for FDM materials.

For many printers, resin has to be brittle because of the way the printing process works.

You cure a layer, it sticks to the previous layer and the projector screen/LCD, then you raise it to unstick it from the screen.

If the resin is flexible, the unsticking process would cause the layer to bend, giving poor dimensional accuracy. So resin is formulated to be stiff and unyielding.

FDM can print flexible materials like TPU - common 'print upside-down' designs of resin printers simply can't. Although you undoubtedly could engineer a printer that could, such as a resin equivalent of an SLS printer, which doesn't face the unsticking issue.
Sadly to me this success isn't so much indicative of progress in space exploration (this effort isn't part of a coordinated international project), but rather a reminder that soon we'll hear about US politicians talking about how to fight the Chinese on the moon.

I've already head national "security" experts talk of "hostile Chinese action on the moon" (without specifying further) and "Chinese efforts to control cislunar space" (again without clarifying what that would involve).

Further, citing the need to counter China the US has announced plans to send military satellites to "patrol" the Earth-Moon L2 point (a surveillance satellite as well as an ASAT capable satellite).

In other words, the US is well on its way to bring war to the Moon.
Because it's not done because of anger, or anything similar. Instead it's observed that a small project became a big one, and started the cannibalize the bigger project.

So the developer decided to take the growing project to its own space and let the other project thrive, too.

It's done out of love, if nothing else.
Optimising for simplicity first is almost always the right thing to do. Even if it turns out to be too slow you then have a reference implementation to confirm correctness against.

In my experience it's rare to correctly identify the bottleneck in code while writing it.

Having the bad content hosted "elsewhere" is still a good gain for any service provider. It reduces the number of safe harbors for harmful actors.

Outside public content can be scanned as part of "defense in depth" too.
It is really concerning that I probably need to ask my parents to stop sharing any photos and videos of my young son digitally (privately via WhatsApp) when he's staying at their place and they are teaching him to swim in their swimming pool. False positives like these can ruin your life.

How is it diminishing sports to point out that they cause a hell of a lot more wear and tear (and involve a greater risk of injury) than sitting down for eight hours (for any reason) does?

And no, unless you are counting things like chess as a sport (and/or conflating exercise with sports), the vast majority of sports carry incredible risk of both minor and major injury compared to a sedentary lifestyle. Here[0] is a list of the Olympic sports for example; there isn't a single one that doesn't routinely cause injuries.

My point remains that if I get tendinitis or bursitis from playing soccer nobody clutches pearls about the sport but if I get the exact same injury from playing video games it's somehow more concerning - this is a reflection of how society values those things, not of their actual danger levels. Hell, I can get the same injuries from playing the piano but pretty much nobody leads a discussion about piano with "it wrecks your body".

> [...] I know that shorting is a fools game for (most?) non-institutional investors, [...]

Any kind of active trading in public markets is a fool's game for non-professional investors.

Active trading in something obscure enough that the professionals don't bother might be exempt. Eg think trading Magic The Gathering cards in the 1990s.

You might still lose money doing that, but at least you have at least a theoretical chance to make money trading on a risk-adjusted basis.

Of course, the more obscure the market, typically the smaller the scale. So in the end your gains might just look like an hourly wage for your effort, instead of return on capital.
Not sure how to cross-post here but I think it's a losing game. EC can keep proposing the same law once every year and at some point they will get an EP that approves it. Repealing is impossible unilaterally by the EP. It's an every tightening rachet.

I think the terminology is pretty confusing, but as I understand it, astronomers use Julian Day numbers [1], which is not really using the Julian calendar - it's really no calendar at all, just a continuous count of days, so you don't need to think at all about the definition of leap days or leap years (until you want to convert back to a human-understandable form). "Julian" coming from how they choose the reference point in the Julian Calendar.

> Does this mean that SerenityOS's Ladybird will need to continually pull patches from the new Ladybird project in order to keep development?

It will probably mean that Ladybird becomes a port. As for what happens to the LibWeb that's in SerenityOS right now, that's still undecided.

> Also: is it really a fork if the new project gets to keep the name "Ladybird"? Will SerenityOS's browser need to be renamed, or there will be two diverging Ladybird projects with the same name? (Maybe a qualifier would help, like SerenityOS Ladybird vs Open Ladybird or something?)

SerenityOS' browser will probably go back to being called "Browser", like it was before.
Interesting! Though most of the time, the problem with estimating how long software takes to develop is that people tend to be hopelessly over-optimistic.

As I've written below this is a machine for businesses not hobbyists. You pay for service contracts, the overall "professional behaviour", a reseller network that helps you and whatnot.

Some of those jobs might be doable in less time, but I don't mind that - as I mostly think that jobs shouldn't be intensive and the system should have some slack in it so that when there is crunch it's manageable.

Apple's backing down on that very sound initiative was a failure and a red flag indeed. They had the chance and the weight to pull it off and set a standard, but instead basically gave in for regulators to implement whatever spying laws they want.

Sadly, nothing else comes even close to Apple in terms of security and privacy, especially for someone who is not an infosec specialist and doesn't have time to read CVEs all day.

I joined a financial firm that was building a trading system. This was about 15 years ago. The volume was not small.

Their DB model was atrocious. I looked at their wide tables, with tons of columns, not one FK in sight. It was horrible and broke every single rule I've learned in DB design theory, and in practice. It was so bad that I was considering leaving.

Luckily I did not leave. With time, I learned how the system worked. I made assumptions about how they used the DB which were not correct. It was not really used as a relational database. It was used as a journal of transactions that served as a backup to a system that actually held everything in RAM. Everything worked beautifully together. The system was fast and robust.

I learned a lot at that job. Most importantly, I learned not to pass judgement too quickly.
