But there would be no point to a federated network if every node were required to accept traffic from all other nodes. That's just centralization with extra steps.. and centralized social media is what most people who move to federated networks are trying to avoid, to say nothing of the cost burden on smaller instances to handle all of that traffic. A lot of people block the big instances as well for similar reasons.
It's fine, I understood what you meant. I just dislike the terminology and want to ensure my positions are known and understood to be consistent.

You’re the one who’s been tediously nitpicking irrelevant points and attacking imaginary strawmen. For instance I never actually said that the Soviets supported antinuclear movements in the West by which, in the context of the Cold War, I obviously mean “the countries aligned with the United States and against the Soviet Union”, a set of countries that Finland was not, in fact, part of. It wouldn’t particularly surprise me if the Soviets backed those movements, because they backed a lot of similar movements, but I don’t have any particular evidence about the antinuclear movement in particular.

My point—which seems to be well-received since it’s up about 12 points—is that if the Soviets did, in fact, support these movements, it wouldn’t be inconsistent with their own use of nuclear power, or even their efforts to develop nuclear power in “non-aligned” countries in an attempt to curry political favor. Your attempts to claim otherwise are bizarre and incoherent, and none of your fact checks are factual or indeed even relevant to the topic at hand.
Consider a third-party cookie login flow where you go to one site to enter your password different from the site you are logging into. The password site sets a cookie which the site you are logging into will use to determine if your password was correct or not. If I follow TPC, this pattern would break because that cookie is now isolated from the site which wants it.

This used to be somewhat common. It is not anymore recently.
Don't want to hear it so long as Tesla holds me legally responsible for whatever their software does.

Unless and until Tesla is fully legally responsible for whatever their FSD does, then it is NOT "Full Self-Driving." Calling it "Full Self-Driving" is fraud and those who purchased it should file a class-action lawsuit.
> Once you do that, it becomes clear why SELECT first won out originally: legibility and troubleshooting.

Select first was as much an accident of "it sounded better as an English sentence" to the early SQL designers. Plus also they were working with early era parsers with very limited look ahead and putting the primary "verb" up front was important at the time.

But English is very flexible, especially in "command syntax" and From first is surprisingly common: "From the middle cupboard, grab a plate". SQL trying to sound like English here only shows how inflexible it still is in comparison to actual English.

I've been using C#'s LINQ since it was added to the language in 2007 and the from/where/join/group by/select order feels great, is very legible especially because it gives you great autocomplete support, and troubleshooting is easier than people think.
Great write up, and good on you for pushing through to make this work.

It's definitely predatory practice by the vendor. I wonder how much it would cost to pay someone with your skillset to do this hack -- probably comparable to what they wanted you to pay, if not more?

This almost merits an angry on-site visit, sheesh.

But then trains highly overcrowded so in the case of another Greyrigg the death and injury toll would be far higher.

But affording to a train company there is "no upper limit on the number of passengers in a given train carriage". I did point out that the laws of physics, and basic human physiology would refute that assertion.

So, maybe safety theatre rather than patronising levels of safety.
Speaking of risks and fire, is there a known limit to the temperature achievable by concentration? I was wondering if I could melt a piece of tungsten with this method.
In my experience:

1. There's very rarely a one-size-fits-all solution, in terms of what people need. Oh sure, if everyone needs a VPN then you should install the VPN and suchlike. If there's mandatory corporate security software, add that as well. But will they need docker? Will they need virtualbox? Will they need VS Code? CLion? PyCharm? IntelliJ? Do they need Java installed? Which version of Java? Will they need Altium? SolidWorks?

2. There's constant churn. You can't just create an image once and use it unchanged for years - there are so many components involved that there'll be some change or other needed pretty much monthly.

And you can't rely on volunteers helping out to scratch an itch - everyone in a position to do that has long since got their computer set up how they like it.

What's more, lot of the changes you end up pushing out will be unpopular. Ain't nobody going to volunteer their time to add a giant block of all-caps legalese to a login banner, or to deploy enterprise security crapware like crowdstrike.

3. Laptops are imaged by level 1 helpdesk workers. People who can troubleshoot Linux problems and maintain setup images probably aren't in helpdesk at all, and certainly aren't level 1.

So if you imagine making an image and handing it over to helpdesk to maintain - you'll find doing so isn't possible.
FWIW after reading though lots and lots of posts in the original bug report thread for this issue, I bought a Cable Matters “8K DisplayPort 1.4 to HDMI 2.1 Adapter” and it works perfectly to drive my Sony TV at 4K/120 from an AMD 6900XT on Ubuntu 24.04.

> "the Rust people"

There is no such thing.

There are people developing a complete OS in Rust: https://github.com/flosse/rust-os-comparison

There are people interested in making the Linux kernel more memory safe using Rust. And from what I am observing they aren't interested in a hard fork and are looking for collaboration.

These are different populations.

Contrary to what Theodore Ts'o is ignorantly saying, Rust is not a religion.
Maybe just take an average of shipping costs to a few locations (West coast Us, East coast US, Europe) and filter out anything where the shipping cost is greater than the cost of the product itself.

Or just get a shipping estimate to the same city as the seller is in.
Some people are really selling complex solutions around React though, for instance. The lib itself isn't that complicated, but there are JEE levels of frameworks built on top of React now and the people selling that can't even fathom the irony in all this...

It's almost easier to learn JEE and Glassfish than stuff such as Next.js...

> The simplicity of cheri itself makes it easier to be confident that its protection is correct-- relative to the entirety of a compiler/libc/etc.

To get confidence in Fil-C’s safety, you don’t have to prove anything about the libc because the libc is compiled with Fil-C.

You have to prove stuff about the compiler and Fil-C’s runtime. The runtime is about 100KLoC.
>I don't think actual malicious planned obsolescence is as prevalent as many believe.

Working in the electronics industry, I have never once heard anyone talk about this. Engineers love engineering, and if it was real their would be a whole field devoted to it. But there isn't.

Also, since this board is stacked with software guys...

Planned obsolescence is way easier to implement in software. How many of you have been asked to put a time bomb in a warrantied product?

Planned obsolescence is a term that lay people use to describe unfortunate breaking of things that are sufficiently complex to be considered "a magical black box". In reality it is just another apparition of Murphy's law.
This is such a sign of our times. It's pretty much just stupid to work hard.
I agree. Trying to track it all can be distracting.
Is Fastmail hitting the point where they feel compelled to add new features on top of a perfectly good email client, bogging it down and slowly turning a snappy, clean experience into a morass because they couldn't just let it be good and functional?

I hope not. I hope they are keeping it simple and clean.

On the website itself, "OS" "Included" and "Not Included" is strange. I don't see that I need "Not Included", unchecking "Included" should show you everything but instead it shows you nothing. I don't see the value of "no os included" verses a copy of Windows that I will overwrite.

So I would just have an "OS Included?" checkbox.

Seems to use confusing terminology?

In FCast, a "client" is a device or software application that discovers and
communicates with a "receiver".

The client, which can be a terminal client or an Android application, uses
the FCast protocol to send media content to the receiver, such as a TV or
media top box. The client initiates the media streaming by connecting to the
receiver, launching the media, and then the receiver begins playing the media.

Once the media is launched, the client can control the playback, allowing
operations like pause, resume, seek, and volume adjustment.

Seems like basically a client-server relationship, but with the "client" acting as a server and a "receiver" acting as a er... client?

But with the "client" being the thing to control the start/stop/etc of the media, which is a weird thing for a server to do.

I learned recently from a Mozilla engineer that Firefox never made samesite=lax the default for cookies set without the samesite= attribute - they went with this Total Cookie Protection strategy instead: https://lobste.rs/s/98rp8f/cors_is_stupid#c_9dtjao

Here’s my exploration of samesite from a few years ago: https://simonwillison.net/2021/Aug/3/samesite/

As before, my frustration with this kind of browser feature is the lack of detailed technical documentation.

As a web developer, what does Total Cookie Protection mean for how I build web applications at the nuts and bolts level?

A robot (nor the software that runs it) has no inherent rights, as it's a non-sentient creation. That's why they can't go into a movie theater without the theater's explicit permission. Plus, the whole "companies can chose who they associate with" thing means not all humans can even go into a movie theater.

And if we want to jog down this rabbit hole, I suggest starting with existing animals which we're realizing are sentient, but still prevent them from going into movie theaters. Once octopi can visit the movie theater, let's revisit the the robot argument.
And when you consider the comparison, it's even worse: the data they're refusing to allow Apple to train on is _public_ data. There were several court cases in the early 1900's where owners of big buildings tried to sue photographers for selling pictures of their buildings (or pictures that included their buildings) and it was finally agreed that since the building was in public, pictures of it were fair game. If you're putting an article on the internet for anybody to read, "anybody" seems like it would include an AI as well.
Blind person here, I find the "doors closing" / "doors opening" announcements pretty tiresome, and I don't think they provide any benefit to us.

They sometimes even make things worse. Especially on bilingual elevators (not that uncommon in European countries where English isn't an official language), there are so many announcements that the elevator just can't keep up when there's a lot of traffic. I've seen a few elevators that were always a few announcements behind during periods of high activity.

The "lift (elevator) going up / down" announcements, on the other hand, are quite helpful, and I vastly prefer the European system than the American mess of ADA-compliant beeps.
Oh that's cool.

I actually had to implement this myself for a project, literally few days ago.

This is only of limited usefulness if you want to buy a new mini PC (rather than specifically a used unit from eBay). For example, many current fanless models are not listed. Just searching for “fanless mini pc” on Amazon.com gives many more (and some cheaper) results.

This might be a task for an LLM-supported scraper looking at a number of online marketplaces, retailers, and manufacturer sites. Then, conversely, you could link to matching eBay listings. It would also need a mechanism for users to submit spec corrections.
I don't know about your tastes, but personally (as an individual contributor) the idea of classic manager work (dealing with vacations, perf reviews, hiring, firing, etc) are extremely unappealing to me.

The iPod Classic when the iPhone came out had a CPU estimated to run around 80 Mhz vs. a 600 Mhz chip underclocked to 400 Mhz in the original iPhone. The software is also completely different. They didn't build it on the iPod platform at all, though I believe that was considered in the early stages of the design.

AAPS (unlike the Tandem T
, which I’m less familiar with) uses a more sophisticated algorithm to calculate the required insulin, considering several factors:

- Blood sugar levels received via XDrip from the Libre 2 sensor.

- A profile that includes:

- - The basal rate per hour for each time slot

- - The insulin-to-carb ratio

- - The target blood sugar range

- Automatically calculated insulin sensitivity.

- Insulin on board (remaining active insulin), calculated using a curve to estimate how much insulin is still active after injection.

- Carbs on board, with AAPS tracking active carbs over time.
Show HN: Tabme – Organizing Bookmarks and Tabs, done right
Hey HN,

## How It Started:

About three years ago, when I was managing multiple teams with different focuses, my inner programmer couldn’t take it anymore and broke free.

He declared that something needed to be done with his own hands—something for the soul and mental health.

The problem that needed solving was right in front of me. I was involved in several projects across different teams, each with multiple Miro boards, Google Docs, Confluence pages, Jira epics, and a mountain of IMPORTANT links!

Yes, I’m talking about browser bookmarks. The built-in browser bookmarks are just a formality. They require moving the cursor, aiming, opening various folders to find the one you need. In short, it’s too complicated. In 2024, users shouldn’t be burdened like this.

I wanted to see everything on one screen without unnecessary clicks. To search visually, at most using a scroll (because it doesn’t add cognitive load).

The closest thing I found at the time was the Toby extension. But even it had an overloaded UI and lagged with my modest volume of bookmarks. It seemed absurd that such a simple task wasn’t solved beautifully.

That’s how my pit project, Tabme — the most convenient bookmark manager for Oleg was born =)).

I’m sharing it with you, enjoy it with me: Tabme on Chrome Web Store

## The Core Idea:

But! To truly enjoy it, you need to use it right.

The joy isn’t just in its simplicity but in the fact that I can find all the key documents for all projects from the last three years. I don’t delete bookmarks from completed projects; I simply hide them (archive). At the same time, the search automatically includes hidden bookmarks. This turned out to be super convenient—an up-to-date minimum on the screen and all history within one click.

## There are also many small features:

— Recommendations for hiding long-unused bookmarks to keep only the important ones on the screen
— Global search across bookmarks, open tabs, and history
— Duplicate tab closing
— Dark mode just arrived this week and was the trigger for this post

If you try it out, please let me know what you like and what you don’t. I’m happy to receive any feedback

## Tech Stack:
It’s the usual: React and TypeScript. Link to the repository: https://github.com/pltnkv/tabme

## What’s Next:
I’ll continue developing it, guided by my own sense of aesthetics and your feedback.

I wouldn't automatically prefer any random N100 mini PC over a nice second hand enterprise mini PC.

In home server use cases, mini PCs stay idle the vast majority of their runtime. So it's idle power consumption that is the most useful metric to look into. The N100 can have great idle performance in theory, but most data I can find about N100 boxes is them idling in the 12W-15W range. This is something that older enterprise mini desktops have no trouble matching or beating [1]. Especially since roughly the Skylake era (Intel 6th gen), idle power consumption for enterprise PCs has been excellent - but even before then it wasn't bad.

Enterprise vendors like Dell/HP/Lenovo have always optimized for TCO and actually usually use quite high quality power supply circuitry, whereas most N100 mini PCs tend to be built with cheaper components and not as optimized for low power usage for the whole system.

[1]: I recommend reviewing Serve The Home's TinyMiniMicro project, which often finds the smallest enterprise PC form factors to idle at 8 to 13W, even older ones. Newer systems can get below 7W! https://www.servethehome.com/tag/tinyminimicro/
