The Imperial Japan surrendered before US forces with the hope that they could continue administering their country, but stop the offensive war as part of the axis powers. Vietnamese were fighting against occupation and, if they surrender they could not live in and administer their own native land. The difference is glaring.
I remember when Perl poetry was a thing. Mates in university combined it with code golfing, and came up with some pretty wacky results.

There are many such local laws limitations that big techs have to bow to (that smaller obscure companies choose not to). For example, Google won't offer its VPN service as part of Google One in India. Whereas, proton/mullvad works just fine.
ASAN is only a probabilistic sanitizer, but adding deterministic checks, like out-of-bounds checks or integer overflow checks, is the same in C/C++ compiled with the appropriate options as what is done in any programming language where these checks are done by default.

In that case there are no false positives or negatives.
Then the database load from transactions that didn't match a job won't be noticeable until there are thousands of workers. And when (and if!) there are, I don't have experience with that kind of scale but I suspect that all the bottlenecks will still be in the other branch — transactions that modify the database.
Algorithms can certainly be elegant. A greedy algorithm with a lot of special cases added to force it to work feels yucky. A simple algorithm that does the minimal amount of work to get the job done and handles all the special cases without case-specific code feels good. Like a well-crafted, reliable tool. It might not be beauty yet, but it's close.

What makes it beautifull in my mind is the same thing that makes some poems beautifull - the fact that it seems simpler than the problem it solves, and yet it solves it well. If it evokes that surprising feeling of "That's it? That's enough?" - then it's beautifull, like a poem which expresses complex feeling in a few short verses.

For me Floyd-Warshall is one example.
> Is this still possible? Are your emails getting delivered?

Mine are. Although it probably helps to have a static IP with a 25 year long clean history.

Are there very occasional glitches? Sure. But I've seen ISPs drop everything from GMail on the floor for no obvious reason. I've seen GMail drop GMail email before. Same for every other large email provider.

To date I haven't seen any reason strong enough to push me to switch to a centralised email host. That day may yet come of course.
Big value from museums is curation. You can get context (for example, pieces done by the same person just before or after), explanations (I recommend audio tours! There's loads of info there), and even just having the experience of seeing the actual material and texture in a way that's hard to understand. You can also get exposed to related art and see things in a different light (though honestly this is dependent on the museum. Some curation is inspiring, other curation feels constrained by a lack of imagination or access to the right kind of pieces)

I don't think for a woodprint you'll get this, but for a lot of paintings the scale itself can be impressive. There are multi-meter high paintings out there that can be very mesmerizing.

But it's also just kinda neat!
A bit tangential but is there a service or self hosted solution that would take a list of IPs and then keep scanning them periodically and alert me if any new ports have suddenly open?

If I am reading HTML with hyperlinks, I use the "links" browser with some custom modifications.

Most times, I am making HTTP requests with TCP clients, not a browser. If I am using an HTTP client, I use tnftp with custom modifications, fetch, or some other small client I can easily modify. I use a localhost-bound TLS forward proxy. Thus I can use a wide assortment of old TCP and HTTP clients from years when software was less bloated. For example, I still use orginal netcat heavily on a daily basis.

When I retrieve HTML/JSON/CSV, I use small, simple UNIX filters I write myself to extract what I want and present it in a readable text-only format and/or insert it into a SQLite3 database. I like the sqlite3 text-only output formats.

Hitting a limit on the number of news articles I can read is not something I am personally familiar with, and I use the same news websites as the people who complain about this, hence I believe it is associated with the browsers they are using, not the websites.
The terms “sociological” and “illness” (vs disorder) makes this oxymoron a medical perspective, not a historical one. History shows the medical concept of illness as applied to psychological disorders to be reductive and harmful to those affected
> 1) Doing nothing leads to burning around 8 billion tons of coal per year just by itself.

Who's advocating doing nothing, is that something I said?

2) I said "main component by mass", not "just". My point stands.

You clearly stated "Zero". That's incorrect. The energy demands of mining are not insignificant by any means.

There are large amounts of material being mined, both sand, and silver, and others to support PV

3) You don't need "good quality" sand for PV. Crush some rocks if you like, silicates are everywhere.

You've not ever mined anything or worked in geology, have you?
No, you literally wrote "it’s generally a bad idea to legislate for over a third of a billion of humans on the basis of rare freak accidents".

> Rushing to make legislation to respond to (media coverage of) freak occurrences rarely leads to good lawmaking.

I agree. Yet, laws against child labor already exist and they work as a "blanket" safety mechanism against all threats to children, regardless of what incident might happen.

> these Internet security companies are mostly legitimate

This is both subjective and highly dependent upon the scope of services being run. My setup would probably progressively create more hassle than it saves as on a scale from small business to large business. For the setup I have, I quite specifically want to block their traffic.

I'm possibly overly militant about this, but they keep databases of the results of their scans, and their business is selling this information to ... whoever's buying. I don't want my IP addresses, open ports, services or any other details they're able to gather to be in these databases over which I have no control and didn't authorise.

To steal an oft-used analogy, they're taking snapshots of all the houses on all the streets and identifying the doors, windows, gates, and having a peek inside, and recording all the results in a database.

I believe all of them are illegitimate. They 'do' because they can, and it's profitable. "Making the internet safer" is not their raison d'être.

Happy for any else to form their own opinion, but this is my current stance.

Internal hubs are common in places where biking is common - ie. Amsterdam.

I think you should look at the UI for ArgoCD. It has a UI that has some diagrams and it's all driven by kubernetes and gitops. Note you don't make the diagrams in here, but it makes the diagrams by itself.
The thing is, with every chip generation the non recurring engineering costs are heavily swinging towards FPGAs staying competitive at ever higher volumes. If you're happy with a CPU+FPGA combo and want to take advantage of 12 nm but your design fits on an FPGA, then it almost never makes sense to design an ASIC.

Your design would in principle have to be an analog design or something that simply cannot take advantage of smaller nodes i.e. MEMS.
> The other guy I was talking to apparently has no idea what it means to deal with an embedded system

I would love to see you justify this. Sadly you will not, because I understand it quite well. It's a pretty basic principal that if a system is capable of handling user input interactively, you can instead connect a more powerful computer and have it receive input from that device. Hence all devices with REPLs can benefit from editors hosted on my own computer. In an embedded system, it is much more likely for you to have to hook your own computer up to something than it is for that thing to be able to accept user input independently. Most embedded devices do not have a USB slot for you to plug your keyboard in.

> That's also something the other guy refuses to understand.

It is a point which I addressed in my other post.

This manner of response is stupid and infantile. I hope you can talk to me directly next time.
Shelling out to `ls` (exec + opendir + readdir + stat + pipe IO) is not faster than opendir + readdir + stat. `ls --dired` is definitely not portable. readdir and stat (the libc functions) are portable, work across POSIX and other Unix-likes. And the customization point here doesn’t provide any benefit for the user, it serves to let the user shoulder the responsibility for its own design defect (has to guess whether the `ls` supports --dired or not).
Note that the article doesn’t include that context, it only mentions 2024 and not June. A more recent article would have more up to date information.

Gentoo is mostly just BLFS and ALFS from there, with more available packages, and centralized 'USE FLAGS' ( https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/USE_flag ) which could be considered one of Gentoos USPs.
This is code golf, not algorithmic beauty tho. I'd say it's like a limeric - short and witty, but not deeply moving.

That’s interesting!

The metadata is generally public information, I don’t care about that.

The malicious updates and key abuse are more concerning. It’s true for all software, and probably better done with OS, like on iOS.

The VPN could steal the keys, but that’s a lawsuit!
I've had complete opposite experiences, there is issues with the derailleurs constantly. Switching to internal gears and a belt instead of a chain has made commuting a much better experience and may in some cases actually cheaper in the long run when you factor in the saved maintenance time and costs.
Sorry, there was no nuance. It's painting Israel as successful, but not explaining the atrocities and war crimes it did before and after its establishment. It is creating a self serving and hollow set of principles to deny the Palestinian cause. Another reason to oppress Palestinians, another strawman disguised as morality to deny freedom.
News Corp and its subsidiaries own well under 10% of newspapers and TV networks in the US, and being outliers as they are, they are incessantly attacked.

Where do you think the media and political power concentrates in the US? The Republican party or the Democratic Party?

89% of cities with a population > 100,000 in the US have a Democrat mayor. All of the public sector unions support the Democrats. All of the news guilds, and most of their members, support the Democrats.

Almost all of academia supports the Democrats. Law firms donate five times more to the Democrats than to Republicans. The political class is intimately linked to the legal profession.

Judge Kathaleen McCormick, who rescinded Elon Musk's $55 billion Tesla compensation package, against the will of the company's board and 80% of its shareholders, worked at Young Conaway before her Delaware Chancery Court Judge appointment.

In 2016, Hunter Biden organized a gubernatorial campaign event for Congressman John Carney, featuring then-Vice President Joe Biden as the guest speaker. The event was held at the Law Offices of Young Conaway in Wilmington, Delaware.

The lawyers who won the lawsuit against Musk thanks to McCormick's ruling are now asking for $5.5 billion in Tesla stock, for their legal fees. Giving to Democrat-allied lawyers and taking from technologists.

My LPi4A was delivered in June last year, now a full year.

$80 for this is a better price than the $120 for the LPi4A with 8 GB RAM, and this comes with 128 GB eMMC vs 16 GB.

On the other hand, the LPi4A has a replaceable LM4A CPU module with two modules recently announced with LM3A with 8 core SpacemiT K1 SoC and LM5A with EIC7700 SoC with quad core SiFive P550 CPU cores. You can keep your old motherboard with all the I/O ports.
Practically, all the "all weather" bike commuters I know do a yearly maintenance at best and that is it. It is not that finnicky, actually, unless you aim for maximum performance or do hardcore mountain biking (those do maintenance after each ride).

There are still advantages to public key auth. Sibling comment mentioned resource use, but also consider ease of use: are you setting a random 64-character password on every machine that has SSH server installed? Would it not be easier to generate one ed25519 keypair, apply a reasonable passphrase (and/or use disk encryption), and then you have secure auth on all your machines without a password manager?

If you're _not_ setting unique 64-character passwords per server, then you should consider what happens if your super strong password is discovered -- an attacker would have access to all your boxes. Compromising a key is harder than compromising a password.

Yes, I2C is technically meant for intra-board use. But it works surprisingly well over large distances if you avoid daisy chaining and run one cable to each target. If you use multiple identical target chips you need to route everything individually to a central MUX anyways.

As an example, the Nintendo Switch used I2C over a ~2m cable to communicate between the controller and nunchuck. Worked fine even in noisy household settings with wifi and microwaves and whatnot.

At work we've used sensors for data logging that communicate using I2C over distances more than 20 meters, using plain Cat5 cable.
Zigs tight C integration makes it easy to just start using Zig in an existing C codebase, which is a great way to overcome the challenges you've mentioned. It doesn't need to replace C all at once, just slowly.
It is indeed a hard question that one could also apply to humans. There is no way to know if someone else is conscious.

Ports can't be hacked but the application listening on them can ;)

You can have vulnerabilities on the server software and its configuration even if you are serving only static content. This should be unlikely if you use up-to-date battle-tested software like nginx without making crazy config changes.

If you serve dynamic content, that may also have vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit.

QT, Unity etc have price points in this zone and if I remember correctly are higher.
Yes. Authenticating with passwords is obsolete and dangerous. Use keys and disable password auth.
Context: I write mostly write Python for a living and run a Django app as a major responsibility

I always wonder if python, auto scaling, and cloud change the kinds of businesses (and margins) required. Running 60+ pods of gunicorn for an app incurs lots of overhead, especially if one is using small VMs.

I can't count the number of war stories I've heard from SRE friends who joined some company and realized they were taking over a Django stack for the core of a business that was blowing gaskets left and right.

This sort of thing just leaves me wondering if margins have to be high to support a slower language, slower framework, and complicated deployment model to work around the Python GIL.

Call me jaded but I just wonder if it's worth the time to market to do Python these days versus say Go and be able to deploy a static binary and use all your CPU cores simply. K8s is way less tempting for a "one-process-architecture " (minus database and maybe nginx) until the system is much larger (instead a couple of systemd units would sort you)

Don't. Put. Your. Kids. On. The. Internet. I'd say "don't put unwitting strangers on the internet" too, but it's less targeted unless you're stalking a stranger, and I suspect too many HNers are Instagram users for that to be popular.

Also this is your too-often reminder that child beauty pageants are still popular in many places. Anyone taking attendance at those? Seriously, the status quo and what people are accustomed to biases people's norms in extreme ways and we just never seem to put that in context.

My point being, we have fucking pageants for children to get dolled up and pranced about for adults to watch, and here we are, off to the next horror-porn-horror travesty we all know is likely going to continue slowly getting more and more wack, as the norms shift.

I hate how 99% of the planet has no ability to consider long-term reprocussions of decisions, or worse, are incentivized to self-deluded about them. "Let's appeal to things that work in marketing and put our teenage daughter on the internet". Sounds like a god damn comedy sketch.
