If you really need it, consider UUIDv4 as encoding, and use your cryptographic algorithm to create a 122-bit output and encode it as a UUID.

Otherwise, you'd want longer outputs.
Recent Make versions have a `--print-targets` option that lists all targets.
I know this is getting off-topic, but all the discussion about encryption missing an important weakness in any crypto algorithm - the human factor.

I found it interesting that countries like Singapore haven’t introduced requirements for backdoors. They are notorious for passing laws for whatever they want as the current government has a super majority and court that tends to side with the government.

Add on top Telegram is used widely in illegal drug transactions in Singapore.

What’s the reason? They just attack the human factor.

They just get invites to Telegram groups, or they bust someone and force them to handover access to their Telegram account. Set up surveillance for the delivery and boom crypto drug ring is taken down. They’ve done it again and again.

One could imagine this same technique could be used for any Telegram group or conversation.
I was curious if someone competent might feel like putting their current state of cloud offering into perspective.
I like your movie screening example.

Let's say you want to watch a movie about a certain topic. You ask a couple of friends if they can recommend one. They respond by telling you about this free movie screening at the local park - the movie is exactly about the thing you're interested in. You go to the park. Five minutes into the movie they start asking for money or you have to leave.

- I think your friends might not have recommended the movie if it wasn't free
- you might not have gone to the movie if it wasn't free
- nothing on the outside of the movie screening area indicated that they switched to a paid screening

I feel like there is a difference between a free screening to get some publicity and a simple bait and switch.
>Hardware companies grow exponentially slower than SW companies

Meh. That's only because that market is irrational and many SW companies are massively overhyped and overvalued. You can't possibly tell me with a straight face that WhatsApp is worth the 19 billion Facebook spent on it especially given WhatsApp is not making any money.
Given that air purifiers could increase airborne endotoxin levels [0], that instead better ventilation should be prioritized as it also solves the higher CO2 problem, where we know cognitive function slows down due to higher CO2 levels [1]. Given that OSHA sets an upper limit on CO2 in the workplace, I wonder whether daycare centers have such norms enforced too.

Would you have remembered to write this comment if the fields had never been added back?

In the case you describe, there are three possible outcomes, in broad categories:

1) The fields do turn out to be useful, in exactly the way you implemented them first.

2) The feature is implemented, but using a different set of fields or implementation.

3) The feature is not implemented.

Even if we assign equal probablility to all the options, creating them in the beginning still only results in a win in 1/3 of the time.

How much extra mental effort would have been spent making sure that all the other features implemented in the mean time work correctly with the metadata columns if they had not been removed?

Of course, you turned out to be correct in this case and that shows you certainly had excellent insight and understanding of the project, but understanding whether a decision was right or wrong, should be done based on information available at the time, not with full hindsight.
They work as expected on Redhat and Debian. "POSIX" leaves open a lot of possibility for less-well-tested systems. They could be writing shellscripts on Minix or HelenOS.

What kind of memory do you have? After 6 months of not using it, I would already forget more than 50% of it.
Sometimes governments attempt to make rules to promote a value other than the economy. Yes, those rules can (usually do) have negative economic impacts. More wealth is good, but lets not pretend that there are no tradeoffs.

The last 10 years (and especially the last 3) have seen a massive shift in work culture and the once-precious work/life balance has essentially disappeared. Many people in white collar jobs are hooked into work every waking hour. That sucks, and a lot people don't want to live like that. Many people (myself included) are in a position to set clear boundaries, but many others aren't.

I'm not a huge fan of government as a guardian of culture, but sometimes it is. In this instance, the law is essentially mandating a return to the cultural norms of ~10 years ago. If your startup fails because of that, well, that's OK - perhaps you can come up with something more pro-social.
can recommend. Sinsheim is more heavy on cars and WWII machinery. Speyer also has a U-Boot on display.
> Imagine your server in a restaurant wearing a body cam. (I keep giving bad people good ideas.)

People working jobs like this are commonly under intense surveillance, being watched by multiple cameras from different angles for the entirety of their work day.
Cross-device message history for me. I can go back to my very first message sent. Signal to this day sucks for message history.
Yeah I just have a note with my steps because other than the real basic stuff (set IP and DNS, set hostname, install tmux/htop/vim) the rest depends on what exactly I'm doing with that server. I have other notes for common stuff that could probably stand to be automated but it's not worth the effort in a https://xkcd.com/1205/ sense. Like, having a checklist is necessary, but fighting bash or whatever other automation tool isn't necessarily valuable since I'm only standing up one server every few months at most

Wht do you think mountain bikes have rubber tires? Or one of these? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-terrain_vehicle Or a dune buggy?

Pretty clearly the worry about the road surface is not the only cause of using tires.

Also, if you don't care for either preserving the surface or comfort (use something else for comfort) then... use metal wheels. Or ceramic wheels, or tracks or something.
Would have loved a comparison to some others. I haven't tried personally but been watching Pieter Levels post progress on fixing stuff like this for photoai.com and I think he has done a lot more tweaking than the service mentioned in the article which I hadn't heard of.
"Object" and "orient" are ordinary English words; Alan Kay doesn't own either of them. He may have been the first to combine them as a single term, but he doesn't own that either. (Or, did he trademark it or anyything? I doubt it.) That another definition of it than his came to be the dominant one is just the way things are, not in any way "a hoax".

You misunderstood, I never intended to say the US was an irrelevant economy, that would be foolish. I just wanted to point out, that the HN audience tends to see things from a very US centric perspective and therefore likes to point out that their own approaches would not be feasible in the EU.

However, while struggling at many points, the EU is far from becoming economically irrelevant as the top poster sees to believe.

To address your arguments on intellectual property being as important as actual manufacturing, I tend to differ.

3 points:
1. This type of thinking is exactly the reason why china became a super power.
2. Intellectual property is only as good as the power to enforce it,
if Russia had the factories to produce the tech they need for the war, nothing could stop them from just from doing it.
3. In economies build on intellectual property and outsourcing, wealth concentrates in the hand of the patent holders.

Neither of which seems desirable to me. I do not begrudge the Chinese their economic success, but the events in the north Filipin Sea are concerning.

This is why I think having separate red/blue teams or roles in a cybersec outfit is best, allow each individual or unit to fully utilize each technique most effectively and synthesize the results.
It seems that they are doing it everywhere on their website, also in most of their recently started projects.

Ironically, while looking into it, I found that one of their projects seems to use generative AI to make it work.

It might be because of what you said, though the same way I asked an LLM to insert proper uppercasing I can also ask it to remove it. So it would be more for the "vibes" more than anything.
It's just breadth vs depth.
"A Telegram server used FCM to send a message of size X to the device owned by individual Y at this timestamp and this IP address".

Nothing else.
Effectiveness measures results. A 98% efficient process that never achieves its goal is 0% effective. Focusing on efficiency that is not effective sometimes overlaps with the "missing the forest for the trees" problem. A 1% efficient process that always achieves its goal is 100% effective.
This saved me one time when I was gifted an Apple TV without a remote.

No way to add a WiFi profile, thus no way to use an iPhone as a remote. No ethernet available either.

Configured a WiFi profile, uploaded to the Apple TV and could finalize the setup.

It’s quite a powerful too for initial setup.
I don't disagree with your points and I'm not actually a big fan of patents or intellectual property.

However, look at China - they don't care much about the intellectual property rights, they are okay with industrial espionage and reverse engineering, and yet their chips are not even close - even though their fabs aren't too bad. The fab is just not the whole story.

The EU really is becoming irrelevant, more and more, and it's accelerating. 10-20 yeaes ago the US and EU economies were comparable - and that was when the US anti-worker and anti-consumer situation was worse than today, they're improving on this metric, in some cases faster than the EU. The EU energy policy based on ideology instead of facts is going to be the last straw. I'm saying this as an EU citizen.
Unimportant? Just because you dont use it on mobile doesnt mean everyone else does.

Its a fact that a large share of page visits are now done on mobile, depending on the content.
Those are NOT the same things. It seems we will have to get into the weeds to be clear.

Firstly - the conversation here is about startups - however its not specified if its what stage of maturity the startup is at.

Assuming it’s an early stage startup, which is typically what “startup” evokes; the risk and return profile is different, and should be captured in the contract. The equity payout early stage employees get is different from what a regular work contract entails.

This is how risk and reward are priced - (and risk and reward is the heart of pricing, which is what this conversation is really about.)

If you want regular employees to do startup hours, or be on call for those times - then the pricing for that time must be commensurate.

That’s it.

Nothing more, nothing less. Frankly, I think you would vehemently agree with this.

Suppose, Shit happens. You have some emergency, you need staff to respond. Guess what though? The wording of the regulation seem to cover this scenario!

However, you are in a bad spot, you need to make numbers, so you decide to make people work hours they aren’t paid for?

Well come on. That’s crap, and I REALLY doubt you are advocating for this, because that’s a corrosive attitude that only shields bad management and managers.

That is why these laws exist. Not because of the golden situations where you can have a justifiable ask.

It’s because there’s more people willing to use power over fairness. To cover up their deficiencies by saying “work harder”, instead of fixing issues to actually be sustainable.
Depends. Right now I mostly run 1 VM per app stack (eg web server & DB on the same VM) if it supports it, or if it's a single container I have a VM for all of those, or if it's a Docker Compose stack it'll get its own VM. So I'm mostly just using containers as a packaging solution. But I want to learn more about k8s so one of these days I'm going to move everything over to containers (that'll come when I refresh my hardware)
A public message seems better. There's zero accountability in private messages - you can just smash your keyboard. You can't leave such a message if it's public.
There's also an Irish company that makes a KFC-like recipe. The current owner's father was reportedly a friend of Colonel Sanders and got the recipe from him. I've tried it and it's really good: I ended up buying an 11-kilogram sack.

I recommend deep-frying oyster mushrooms for a vegan version of KFC too.

There was also the Sony HiFD Which was 200MB and used the same form factor disks as FDHD drives, thus maintaining compatibility.

It had a 'click of death'-like failure like Zip did though, and lost the battle during its recall and redesign. (IOMEGA were lucky in that the click of death didn't really kill Zip's market until about the time that CDR/CDRW was beating them anyway)
Another bullshit article from a Murdoch rag? If their Australian publications are any guide I would rate their integrity considerably lower than Boeing's management.
Indeed. Also, add many other unique identifier formats (ULID, nanoid, bson ids ...) — in contrast to compatibility complaints here — and you'll see that people just love tinkering with trivial things (me too).

What was important during the times when we didn't know how to generate random numbers on computers, perhaps shouldn't be as important today?
I wonder if ARM told them not to say. Seems like an obvious question to ask and it wouldn't take that much work to get a ballpark answer.

In my personal opinion there will never be a trustworthy social media site until we reach absolute transparency, meaning, every account is backed up by government ID papers. As long as we have this sock-puppetry with account creation, internet will stay a scam playground and nothing more.

Nah, judging from the ancillaries (domain name, links to other articles, ads, etc) of the article, it was some guy selling an "AI" code tool of some kind who wrote the article.

The most ironic thing, IMO, is that at the time everyone seemed to be holding their breath for Castlewood's 'Orb drive', which promised the perfection of a fast and big storage media.

It was delayed so long that by the time it actually reached the market it didn't get noticed.
That's amazing, but all-too rare. I think teachers have a very tough job, and many (most?) of them are not very good it at. My kids have had teachers who constantly shift assignment due dates because they're not ready, half-arse their lesson planning and tell the kids to do the rest at home, and are generally unable to manage a classroom.
BTW, this is the reason why many countries consider cluster munitions illegal. It's not about their effect during the conflict, it's about how long after the conflict these are still a problem.

Unfortunately this type of weapons is hard to replace, and so many countries do not partake in the ban. They are just too good at eliminating soft targets, like trucks or infantry caught in the open. This includes countries like the US, Russia, or Ukraine. The latter will require many decades to clean up once the current conflict is over, there are millions or even tens of millions of small mines / bomblets scattered everywhere there had been fighting. They will have to tech children in schools how do common types (like the PFM-1) look like, from a very young age.
Agreed, for example I have a ping of 200ms to Hacker News, and the last time I checked it still runs on a single core, and yet there was never a moment where I wished that Hacker News would be faster.

Following the St. Petersburg attack, the Federal Security Service (FSB), in an event that may ring somewhat familiar to many in the United States and Europe, asked Telegram for encryption keys to decode the dead attacker’s messages. Telegram said it couldn’t give the keys over because it didn’t have them. In response, Russia’s internet and media regulator said the company wasn’t complying with legal requirements. The court-ordered ban on accessing Telegram from within Russia followed shortly thereafter. Telegram did, though, enact a privacy policy in August 2018 where it could hand over terror suspects’ user information (though not encryption keys to their messages) if given a court order.

...

... Pavel Durov, Telegram’s founder, called on Russian authorities on June 4 to lift the ban. He cited ongoing Telegram efforts to significantly improve the removal of extremist propaganda from the platform in ways that don’t violate privacy, such as setting a precedent of handing encryption keys to the FSB.

I don’t think comparing energy and IT sectors is correct. „Russian“ scenario is about being forced to have full autonomy in software, and that is happening now. For example, see how fast they started rolling out alternatives to Miro - I know about at least two products in this field. ERP, CAD, office tools, certified Linux distros… Yes, Russia has a focus and policy consistency advantage in IT, but I don’t see why Europe in crisis could not build a comparably efficient task force.
> They write "It is not possible to RAID them, they are already in a RAID on the volume host." which is a mystery to me what it means exactly.

I'd say that means they have RAID for the usual purposes but you can't configure it directly.

Seriously, what are you so afraid of?

We don't live in China or Russia, what matters is political culture, not hiding from the government.

What is the worst that ever happened?

Do you think corporations would use the NSA to influence the government?

Or do you think the NSA would become a shadow government?

I understand the fear of 1984, but 1984 described China and Russia, not the US.

Assange and Snowden might sound like heroes to you, but to me they are not.
Feels odd to actually like elisp. :(

There are some surprises. And I do think common lisp has a lot of better parts. But, at the end of the day I find elisp fine for a scripting like language. And I love how accessible every line of elisp in my machine is.

Hermeto Pascoal is just an incredible human being. Geniuinely made of music. A few fun facts:

1) His signature massive hair started during the cellar door sessions/live evil period when Hermeto was in Miles Davis' band, he was frightened of Miles giving him evil stares so he grew his fringe really long to hide from Miles.

2) A friend[1] who is an amazing drummer was playing at a music festival and Hermeto Pascoal was one of the headline acts. Anyhow Tim got in the hotel lift to go back to his room and Hermeto got in in front of him. So my buddy is at the back of the lift with Hermeto standing in front of him (both of them facing the doors of the lift). The lift is taking ages so Hermeto starts absentmindedly playing with his shirt, making a little tune by squeaking the hem between his thumbs and forefingers. Then he figures out he can drum on the buttons with his remaining fingers. So all the while he's in the lift he's just making music with his shirt and playing a little solo concert for my friend who was standing right behind him the whole time. Then the lift arrived and everyone got out and the world went back to normal like nothing amazing had happened.

Need a third party citation on that. I'm highly skeptical by the press releases they bring out and seem to be taken over verbatim with very little due diligence.

Given the fact they don't even allow public signups outside of DACH im highly skeptical of their claim they're doing billions of revenue in public cloud. It wouldn't surprise me if there is some interesting bookkeeping going on to boost the numbers.

The current status quo is that people in this thread want to try this but fail to figure out how to even sign up.

Also could you explain what part of being part of Gaia-X contributed to their success?
I mean, there’s two things that one might learn about. One is reading a specification for what a v2 uuid is. The other is learning information about the circumstances of a UUID’s generation from the uuid. Obviously the sentence was about the latter, as could be determined from the context as the other versions are described as being generated from specific things.

I agree the sentence is a bit unclear, but I don’t think it’s misleading or whatever.
