I've heard rumors that this particular arrest was made for the unspoken reason that Israel had a major intelligence leak, collections of which are distributed on Telegram that the service has been 'unresponsive' for taking down.

France cooperating with Israel on this makes too much sense.

That's exactly the scheme for for defense contractors, actually. They'll happily send technicians to an austere environment to do maintenance for an extra fee. This has been going on for years, but it is just getting worse.
I am challenging the very premise of a CoC. They are useless newspeak documents made only to enforce the ideology of those in positions of power and not benefit the project. “Don’t be an ass” is standard fare in polite society. Do you need to be told “don’t scream at people” every day when you leave the house? Perhaps those with low inhibition and self-control need such a reminder, but I would argue those are the ones enforcing them the hardest. They are redundant in every form and your argument is reductive. “See? You can’t complain about this part, it’s standard etiquette! And even if you do disagree, don’t we all find things we disagree with?” It ignores the entirety of the point, which is that the sum of a CoC is torturous to a project, and makes it unlikely people will want to play ball with a project due to their loaded nature.

CoCs were invented by non-programmers to push ideological beliefs to programmers, and was accepted because they weren’t immediately toxic to the community. Akin to a cancer taking time to spread.

> This remains a long-standing pet peeve of mine. PDFs like this are horrible to read on mobile phones, hard to copy-and-paste from ...

I've never understood why copying text from digitally native PDFs (created directly from digital source files, rather than by OCR-ing scanned images) is so often such a poor experience. Even PDFs produced from LaTex often contain undesirable ligatures in the copied text like ﬁ and ﬂ. Text copied from some Springer journals sometimes lacks space between words or introduces unwanted space between letters in a word ... Is it due to something inherent in PDF technology?

Maybe.

The point is cultivating dependency under the color of "open source" is not generally wise.

Users of the "open source" LLM do not have all the software freedoms normally associated with "open source."

They cannot rebuild it and more. Important pieces are missing the "open" part.

Someone says, "here, take this awesome math library, it is open." Then users find out there is a brittle binary blob needed for the whole thing to work.

Nobody will want to build on or with it because that blob works, until it doesn't and when it does work, people are not sure what it does exactly.

Makes the whole thing a lot more like free beer.

In the scheme of things right now, particularly given both the pace of change, and up coming corruption due to feeding models their own output, anyone's latest may just not be relevant that long.

There a various attestation methods that have been used over the years. For example, some states have (or at least used to have) a drivers license that is in portrait orientation if you are under 21 and landscape orientation if you are older. A store clerk only needs to look at the photo to make sure it matches the holder and knows whether that person can buy beer or not.

A digital identity system could offer various attestations that reveal nothing about the user except that they are above a certain age or whatever else you care about. Login.gov could offer this as a service.
Yes. In fact every country can.
>Downvotes are a perfect way to ensure you end up with a hugbox where people are afraid to disagree.

Hacker News has downvotes and people here disagree all the time. It's subjective but it even feels like downvoting and disagreement have increased over time, so the presence of downvotes at best doesn't seem to have an effect and at worse seems to encourage disagreement.

In fact, I actually can't think of a platform for which your claim is actually true.

But it has functions for operating on dates and times though, right? date(), strftime() etc. Those just silently fail with a NULL if the value in the tuple isn't something that it recognizes.

So it seems like it _tries_ to do the things that people want, but only half-heartedly, and just fails silently if it can't. Was the column actually NULL? Or just a wrong string format? Who knows?

The point is, SQLite is very "flimsy". And that's perfectly fine for what it is (or what it intends to be). But if I try to insert or retrieve a date() or do strftime() on a string that isn't a valid date/time, don't just return a NULL. That's where the "flimsiness" makes it a deal-breaker for anything where integrity is important and the database itself is supposed to be the authority.

Tailwind’s group selectors may be able to help some here, not sure and I’m on mobile so can’t play with it. I am working on a as-close-to-pure CSS solution for a list with content to one side. When you scale to mobile, the list is the only displayed element. If you click a list item, the details become the full view with a button to go back to the list.

Currently we are detecting mobile based on a JS library and branching the template based on that, which I abhor. Using Tailwind’s media prefixes and some data- group selectors, I’ve gotten a rough version working with just two small JS listeners to toggle the open state.

I think you could apply group rules to target a specific child or sibling in such a way that you can apply specific rulesets, and maybe CSS variables to dynamically base those on sibling values.
I saw this in the re-enactment scene in the UK in the 80's and 90's [0], where there were endless schisms and political dramas. The same is true of any "scene" where the consequences of drama are minor and the participants have the scene as a core part of their identity.

I would expect there to be a class of admin in here that do not actually contribute code but have created positions of authority over the project based on "community contribution" only. There's a particular type of person that does this and derives great satisfaction from it. I'm not going to criticise this - often the "community contribution" is real and beneficial - but I don't think it helps when the focus of the team managing the project moves away from the purely technical.

Hard disagree that it’s not needed. MIRI’s ability to verify non-trivial examples of code is quite limited so I generally just discount it. Valgrind goes beyond just asan+msan with heap and CPU profiling which can be useful if you’re trying to extract every last bit of performance.

Not if you want to solve climate change. Reducing emissions to 50% of present levels and then just keeping them there isn't going to prevent climate change. Overproduction during peak hours doesn't help unless you have a way to release that energy in non-peak hours.

Again, growing battery production isn't actually resulting in grid storage. Even dedicating 100% of battery production to grid storage isn't going to make significant changes in grid storage, but it will stop EV adoption.
There are _a ton_ of innovations in SLS, especially in the space ship (payload). Engines is just a small piece of the program, not really important one.

Interestingly I have had almost the exact opposite experience being very frustrated with the Django docs.

To be fair, it could be because I'm frustrated with Django's design decisions having come from Rails.

> Fully porting Window Maker to GNUstep would be a Win-Win situation for all involved parties: GNUstep already features Wayland support

I feel like this oversimplifies the situation. It's not like WindowMaker could adopt gnustep and then automatically be a Wayland compositor. It would need code tailored to that situation, which wouldn't fit the gnustep architecture without modification. Same for using it as an x11 wm. You can't just drop in gnustep inside a WM and it instantly becomes a window manager for all the existing rendering targets supported by gnustep. Gnustep is not currently a WM on any platform.
> The interpreter is not that fast, the language is not that expressive, what passes for package management is a bad joke, etc. I can work with it but I'm not necessarily loving it.

These are rather disingenuous criticisms of python. The utility of any language is measured by its use as a means to some end. It's clear that Python's ecosystem has prospered not just because it's a fad, but because it's actually useful. Not perfect, but useful.

Python can be improved, but I'm sure most other tools/languages can be equally criticized.

This is a shallow dismissal of the legitimate criticisms that others have of this project.

This is Hacker News. The culture and goal is to satisfy intellectual curiosity and have interesting conversations. The point is NOT to emotionally dogpile (either positively or negatively) on things. That's boring, not enlightening, not intellectual gratifying, not curiosity-satisfying. If you have a legitimate praise or criticism, then you can air it, as long as it's interesting.

How would intelligence agencies already the info they seek? Not having E2E encryption isn’t the same as not having encryption at all. You could easily keep law enforcement out while you maintain access to the data internally.
Simple answer: the people doing the buying aren't the people that are using.

Slightly less simple answer: the amount of red tape around getting contacts is obscene, so the DOD has severely limited the number of places it can go to buy many bits of kit. There's a lot of incestuous relationships between the military and the companies that supply it as well.

On the one hand, that's not strictly a bad thing. A former soldier knows rather well what it's like to be in the field, and supporting veteran run businesses is a good thing to do.

On the other hand, what's more often the case is desk jockeys move into lobbying positions and / or join the large corporations after they put in some time and the network effect takes over in a rather invirtious cycle.

There are literally consulting companies that exist to help you navigate the red tape to get contacts, because doing it on your own means losing to the big names (often for whom the very contacts themselves are tailored to).
Note that that is from very early on in the process. The last I heard (about a month ago?) the final result was several (many of? more than 3, less than all?) people who signed the letter mentioned in the Reg article left for various reasons, several right at the point when a certain person had their commit-status re-enabled after a ban. I believe said person was eventually banned at a later point.

There are at least 2 forks that happened seemingly as a result of these disputes (Aux, as mentioned in the Reg article and Lix)

> To me it sounds like he’s being done in for not putting E2E encryption on everything.

That seems fair and indeed completely on Telegram: Having data but not sharing it with law enforcement just doesn't fly pretty much anywhere.

What's concerning is that the French authorities seem to have slapped on an "unauthorized import of cryptology" charge on there. It's bizarre to still have such a law on the books in 2024, and even more so to actually enforce it.

Public transit fares are generally malformed. I personally never pay the LA Metro fare. Why? Because I pay the Metrolink fare, which by their own admission covers same-day Metro transit. But police will actively seek me out as a person who looks like they have money and give me a hard time for not “tapping”, all while folks who very clearly have no money waltz on into the metro, stopping only to smoke crack on the elevator up. There’s a general problem in this country of what to do with law breakers who do not have money. It seems like the answer is to make them work and garnish their wages, but for whatever reason we are against that.
Even so, why not use full range voting (0-100) instead? Wouldn't it extract more information?
