| Clinton conspired with CNN anchor and democratic chairperson to rig screen time in favor of Trump, believing she could beat him easier than his conservative rivals.

That makes zero sense. Most people who watch CNN are center-left. She would have no influence over the republican primaries, considering most of that constituency watches Fox or gets their news from talk radio.

The email leak directly led to Comey's last minute announcement that Clinton was under investigation, which was only a week before the election and seriously hurt her campaign.
> back wheels overpowering brakes.

In just about any vaguely modern car hitting the brakes will disengage the throttle. In just about any car the brakes should be able to overpower the engine. There is no situation in which a car should be moving if you hit the brakes and the gas simultaneously.

Even if this is user error, there's something clearly wrong with how the car behaved in this situation.
I haven't heard anything about him in a while, I assume he's still living in exile in Russia? In which case, yes, he might have evaded the US, but he still gave up a lot of his freedom in return.

I think you are missing the main point is that all the duties you picked up yourself because you saw some value in them, they were not forced on you. Trying to understand why you did that in the first place might help.

>usually work is pointless exchange of time/energy vs money

This is a terrible normality, if you don't have a greater vision to work towards by yourself, at least find work that is fun.

This. My hope is he had valuable information to give up about his former operators that was worth the plea deal, which is very possible as he's far from the only one.

That depends on how reliable RAMs are, no? What if the CPU fails more often than the RAM and you can't replace that?
> You don't have to care about the target environment if you can control the derivation that is built to run your program.

This is not always possible, since people may have workflows based on different containers or OSes. I (and the author of the article) want to have tools that work across different environments.

> The General Approach that is implemented by Nix (and Guix etc.)

"Reproducible builds" or "hermetic environments" are commonly used adjectives for this, although they are not limited to these two tools either; Bazel from Google does it too, for example.

It's a me problem alright, but I'm in no way unique in refusing to put up with the mountain of grief that the Gimp UX is.

­> I've been using it productively for photo editing and web design for two decades+.

I know Gimp must have its share of long term users but they're a miracle to me and I don't know what to say to that. I suppose it's good people reading these threads who are open to giving Gimp a go see there are users for whom it's working out.
I would genuinely love to know which media your parent watches and reads to come to such a conclusion. It is remarkable. I've never heard such a statement about Stamer, but it's clear that I don't read the same sources.
I think Snap/Flatpak could probably be extended to cover most of the nix use cases.

But some kind of repeatable environment is needed, traditional package management is just pure insanity where everything only works on one specific version.

That config file perfectly illustrates the point. There's no need for it to be custom, and require me to waste time learning its syntax when it could just be JSON or TOML. Honestly I would even take YAML over that and YAML is the worst.

I don't want to worry about exceptions.
The Germans had 'The adventures of the Black Hand Gang', where the book was split in four mysteries to solve. In the left you had the narrative and a question/riddle to solve by looking up a big and detailled picture. Such as 'how did X main character guess that the bad guy stole something'?

These books still hold up really well today with few changes.
The timing of this less than 2 weeks before the UK gets a new Prime Minister can’t be a coincidence.

I don’t believe that Starmer would have actually have dropped extradition proceedings against Assange as he’s extremely stingy with his political capital, but I guess things look different on the other side of the Atlantic. Easy to see a “left wing” government incoming and think “oh shit we’d better agree a plea deal”.
Yeah try adding a git alias with quotes... I ended up reading the source code to figure out wtf it was doing.
It's a reference to their music, although a very poorly thought out one. But I don't think the result is entirely fair, as Fat Mike is a record label owner. That's not what one may think when you say "a job", these people are all middle-aged and aren't working the cash register at a Walmart or something like that. A job is a job, but NOFX are far past some idealistic idea of "live off the music, skip college" and whatever else people thought of them.
It's not really accurate to call him a whistleblower. He was acting as a conduit of information for whistleblowers, though he exercised his own discretion to decide which whistleblowers to release for.

The reason he was charged by the US is because rather than just being a recipient of leaked documents he took an active part in helping an insider obtain them by breaking internal security controls. That's crossing a line and is something journalists are careful to never do.

Spying on foreign countries, especially when they are engaged in war crimes and torture, is not illegal.

Assange is not and has never been a US citizen or permanent resident. What he did is perfectly permissible.

He made a huge mistake in traveling to the UK though.
The Link-in-Bio Tool That You Get Paid for Each Click
No, but you can probably get to the local library and check out some books (or movies, or games, or comics) for free.

Or go outside and take a walk.

Or assuming you have a computer, go online and learn one of hundreds of subjects for free.

Or if you have paper and a pencil, doodle or write something.

I was 'trapped doing boring stuff' at school all the time growing up, especially in elementary school and junior high which were always way too easy for me, but I would pass the time away during class by either daydreaming, or doodling, or writing poems, or trying to invent a new language, or printing stories in tiny font and reading them, or brainstorming ideas for things to do later, or designing levels to new video games I thought I'd create someday, or drawing out the structure of a web site I wanted to make, and then later when I got a calculator you could code on, I was coding simple games on it.
You hit the nail on the head. This is exactly why I do these things, but the only difficult part is figuring out where to apply this experience and how to phrase things without sounding like a crazy person in the process. "Yeah I got bit by this when I was intentionally throwing my body out into the snakes for fun", doesn't really make quite as much of the right impact as I hope.

Ironically, I'm quite bad at product development, and where I really succeed is when I'm mentoring people and helping enable them to succeed. I'm glue professionally, which means that my individual contributions are terrible but in aggregate I help others succeed so much more that it adds up. I always look terrible at review time though, I end up having to bring a brag document and look kinda like a jackass.
nah, this is just lame apologia that normalises being a shitty person
I’m talking about the carrier network requiring protections. The carrier like to verify devices on their network. There was a time when booking up a fax was illegal. Apple is responsible for the activity of the devices they create on the carrier network.

One of the rare moment's I agree with Barnaby Joyce.
True according to Assange himself. Keep up with the events.
The practice wasn't, though, and has always been immoral. If (if) Assange did it, he's a scumbag. Obviously.

There's also content being "lost" to paywalls / sign-up walls. A couple of days ago I went to access an article I've shared to others a couple of times a year for close to 20 years. Not now! "Must sign up and sign in to view content".

We were promised 21st Century jetpacks and all we get are same old dated mindsets, dated biz models, etc.

This is good advice :) There's a lot to like in tech but it can indeed burn people out, and some time away from it doesn't hurt. I also took a sabbatical, years ago, and ultimately returned to tech. I worked the ski season, travelled in summer and lived on little. If you're frugal and do bits of work that pays a little, its possible to do this and have barely eroded savings after a year or so. (caveat- in USA health cover can be an issue)
The material was shared with The Guardian and several other (including prominent US) media outlets, they are the ones that published it unredacted. Never was there any proof provided that those articles caused any harm to any personnel at any point in time.

Those media outlets that are in fact guilty of what Assange/Wikileaks was accused of jumped at the first opportunity to throw Assange under the bus.

I suppose the perfect bottle plastic would biodegrade under natural conditions after 5 years or so, but also biodegrade rapidly under enhanced conditions (e.g high temp, fungi).

That way the lifespan of the contents wouldn't be limited by the bottle - minimising food waste - but we'd retain the ability to get rid of the bottle safely without huge landfills.

Hillary ran her own email server that trafficked classified information and that was maintained by a couple of Pakistani dudes.
In addition, Keir Starmer (who will almost certainly become prime minister after July) has told the media in the past that he's 'pro-American', which suggests to me that he'd be unlikely to set the official relationship off to a bad start with awkward diplomatic interactions - and given how hostile Sir Keir is to Trump, I imagine he'd actively try to help Biden look good before the US presidential elections.

I think that when someone uses ls instead of a glob it means they most probably don't understand shell. I don't see any advantage of parsing ls output when glob is available. Shell is finicky enough to not invite more trouble. Same with word splitting, one of the reasons to use shell functions, because then you have "$@" which makes sense and any other way to do it is something I can't comprehend.

Maybe I also don't understand shell, but as it was said before: when in doubt switch to a better defined language. Thank heavens for awk.
Ok. Do you want to now add anything relevant to the comment you’re replying to?
Show HN: NmapDB – Offline desktop app to store and query NMAP results using SQL
I developed an offline desktop app (using Tauri) that can help in Nmap scan results analysis. It loads XML output files in a local SQLite database, making it easier to manage and analyse the scan results. Everything remains private and on-device.

Here are some of the key ways security professionals can use NmapDB:
- save all the scan results in one place
- get answers to complex questions using SQL queries
- find differences between two scan runs in a visual manner
- convert XML in CSV/JSON for further processing in other tools

I am also looking for early users who can help me give feedback. Please have a look.

Note: Currently only for macOS, but Windows version is coming very soon.
Excellent. This approach to CRDTs existed even before the term itself was invented.
In the 2010 article[2] on Causal Trees[1], your humble servant calls these per-peer op logs "yarns". In the 2011, observing the proliferation of proposals, Shapiro&friends propose[3] the term "CRDT".

That is essentially a partially-ordered approach to oplogs. Oplogs (binlogs, WALs) underlie the entire universe of databases.
The problems are exactly the same as the problems "normal" database developers faced in the far past: how much history do you want to keep? How to synchronize the log and the state reliably? What is the format of the log? How to store/transfer the log reliably?

The last question seems trivial, but it is not. If you read some databases' source code, you may find a lot of paranoid things[4], obviously inspired by humiliating real-life incidents. The other questions are not trivial by any means.

So, yes, this is the way[5].

Yes.

I feel like Unix utilities should provide a standardized way to generate machine-readable output, perhaps using JSON.
it's not that simple. (neither meditation nor Aspergers [high-functioning autism].)

there are at least a hundred[0] traditional techniques for meditation. one needs to find those that work. for someone with a highly monotropic autistic trait techniques that work with a singular focus are probably more well-suited, while someone with "kind of the opposite" (hello ADHD people) should try those that are more cognitively active, have mindfulness elements, and build rich imaginary worlds.

With podcasts, my experience is that there are a couple good podcasts. Everything else? A vast sea of great expectations, disappointments, a ton of ads, and content carefully crafted to not upset a single one of those advertisers, even hypothetical future advertisers.

It was just a contrived example to illustrate low variance in the response distribution doesn't necessarily indicate accuracy. Just indicating that "hallucination" is a different axis from "generates different responses" though they might not be totally orthogonal.

A better example might be that the model overtrained on AWS cloud formation API 2 and when v3 comes out produces low entropy answers that are wrong for v3 but right for v2 (due to training bias), but the answers are low variance (e.g. "bucket" instead of the new "bucket_name" key).

Another example based on a quick test I did on GPT4:

1. Every law has the spirit of the law. Otherwise you wouldn't need courts to interpret laws, and no law would ever be made because it would have to describe every single permutation of every single possible human endeavour

2. Fines are capped at high numbers. It doesn't mean you will be immediately slapped with one. Stop perpetuating this bullshit. The law says up to, not just this fine and that's it.

EU especially doesn't like fining companies. The usual process in the EU is "please fix this -> please fix that -> minor fine -> greater fine if persisting in breaking the law -> even greater fine -> ..."

Then take it out of the very cheap solar power + batteries that people swear we have. An entire olympic village is being built, new, at considerable expense - the carbon excess on that construction alone is going to be immense and that's all diesel ICE vehicles.

Instead of doing a stupid thing: seriously reducing the livability of the buildings in a way no one would really want, do the smart thing and build out the renewable capacity - with the bonus that you get to keep the renewable capacity afterwards.

(of course in reality, France has load following nuclear reactors: they can absolutely throttle up a little more to accommodate increased night time load, and power grid smoothing measures can ensure air conditioning the buildings works well with this - i.e. using variable speed compressors)
