Speaking from practical experience, bindgen is a particularly heavyweight dependency. It requires libclang to be available and also adds a considerable amount of time to the compile. If it makes compiling the software easier - and end users compiling the software themselves would benefit here as well as distro maintainers - then it would seem like a pragmatic move to me.
It's a rare thing nowadays to find a terminal command that is interactive and doesn't provide alternative flags for batch processing.

Expect would still be useful for someone scripting a debugger (for example), but Tcl falls under the close to isoteric language nowadays and it takes less time to just repeat the commands in a readline capable interactive program than find just the right way to script it.

Last time I've tried to use expect was when I attempted to build a Tk frontend to the Haskell GHCi debugger (similar to the DDD application), but I got tripped up, from vague memory, on terminal ansi codes, and random lock ups I couldn't pinpoint.
Bitwise Backpropagation and Binary Neural Network
When google won, they were still having 2 text ads per page with a noticeable different font and style as the search results. It was trivial to point out the ad. All the ad growth, from the sensible to the massive, and the change to their relationship with SEO, all occurred after the competition had been sent down to, at best, the single digits

Apart from the one-time pad or something equivalent, I don't think anybody can fully guarantee (to the point of mathematical proof) that any particular encryption is mathematically unbreakable. The existence of true one-way functions is technically an open question in the first place.

And even if you make the (probably reasonable) conjecture that one-way functions do in fact exist, there's still a lot that isn't known about the fundamental computational hardness of various problems used for encryption.

Most statements about the strength of particular encryption methods are educated guesses based on current mathematical understanding. Some particular encryption may be unbreakable for millions of years assuming no breakthroughs in mathematics that would allow significant shortcuts in breaking the cipher. For some mathematical problems those breakthroughs may seem more likely than for others.

Would be glad to hear if someone with current understanding of cryptography has more insight, though.
I’ve been using an app called PCalc on Apple’s App Store.

The Apple calculator is a frustrating mess to use.

PCalc does scientific, engineering, and A to B calculations for most things.

I wouldn’t go back to Apple’s calculator app even if Apple gave me a credit for the PCalc app.

Nope.
I can't express in words how horrible it's been to see the country I loved go spiral downhill due to a corrupt president and an non elected judge with ties to the REDACTED faction.

I'm sorry it just doesn't work like that. There are a near infinite number of projects and other pursuits people can devote their time to. It's not reasonable to try to bully anyone who complains about anything promoted on a news or social aggregator to put their free time into working on it.

One project I contributed to in the past was Anki. Since I was using it a lot and getting a lot of value out of it, I felt motivated to contribute some translations for its UI so that the students at my school could use it.

When were you sick? March 2020 here and while cognitively I have been ok, my heart and lungs are all messed up. Four years, three primary doctors, five cardiologists, over a dozen tests and still no real answers.
I tested as borderline COPD, given an inhaler and my lung tests improved dramatically, well into healthy range. However even with the inhaler I still get that "air hunger" sensation and the feeling like I cannot get a full breath in.

Oddly I got COVID this past July and most of my heart/lung symptoms disappeared the day before being sick, and did not return until a week or two after I recovered. I have heard this before in the LC community going back years.
> Apple's greatest weakness is that many of it's fans and I'd assume people in house assume they are the epitome of UI design when actually it's not.

Which led to people like me making a fool out of themselves. Always been using Android, and listened to iPhone users singing the praise of the amazing UI and UX of iOS. Well, eventually iPhone 12 Mini released so I figured, "why not give it a try, can't be worse than my current Motorola Moto G gen4 right?"

Well, it is worse. I still have the phone because it still works, but that was my first and last iPhone. Everything is dog slow, not because poor performance but because of slow animations. Same on Android by default, but at least I can speed it up. And the UX makes you jump through hoops, things are impossible to discover unless you watch tutorials on YouTube, and the amount of UI bugs seems sky-high for something that sells itself as "Premium".

And then CarPlay is just an abomination! Even the most basic things like "I'd like to answer a call while still being able to see the map I use for navigation" seems to be completely ignored and it honestly doesn't make any sense at all.

Ugh, I almost look forward to accidentally dropping the phone so I can go back to having a non-distracting experience in the car again.

It's like Bob says he has a beautiful sculpture to show me, but when I ask to see it, he sends me truckload after truckload of modeling clay. The sculpture is constituted from this material, Bob tells me.

Okay, I say, but it seems like you're asking me to do an awful lot of work here, and I don't know you enough to be confident that the effort would be well-spent. So could you maybe show me a complete, smaller scale model, with a bit less detail, that gives me the general idea of what's so special and new about what you've made?
> As a developer, if you prioritize both your own privacy and the privacy of your customers, does this concern prevent you from creating exceptional applications?

I don't think so. Not even a little. What it does, though, is constrain the sorts of applications I'm willing to use or develop. I don't think that's a bad thing at all.

> Is privacy a luxury that only developers and technology professionals can afford?

Also not even a little. People are willing to trade privacy for convenience, but that's not at all the same thing as privacy being some sort of unaffordable luxury. It's not expensive to forgo some convenience.
Splitting a piece of software into multiple pieces and shipping the pieces (dependencies) independently is sometimes a good idea, but it has its limits. Maybe the limit should be for dependencies which are very stable and used by many packages (libc, etc.). The hard line policy enforced by Debian here obviously is not working. Happy to see other distros solve this better. This might become really problematic for Debian in the future.
Yes this is the proper dogma, but you're missing the point.

Any automation around passwords is a crutch and a mistake. But sometimes it is necessary.

You don't always control the remote systems. The remote systems are not always capable of key-based auth. And sometimes the remote system is not of high concern so the "danger" is null.

sshpass makes a reasonable effort to do the best-possible thing under these less-than-ideal circumstances. The other options suck more.

My most recent use of sshpass is to collect reports from a vendor over sftp. I would have preferred to use https with BASIC auth, but in truth that has exactly the same problems as sshpass, and I have other hills to die on.
I agree, at least the one FAANG company I worked at didn't hire like it want experienced, well-rounded people. Instead it hired a bunch of "brilliant in a vacuum" type people who proceeded to do brilliant-in-a-vacuum things create impressive projects that ultimately were far inferior to the industry norm because those projects never had a input from designers, customer support, the interoperability/standardization of the best-in-industry tools that were out there.

So ultimately I think it was largely to their detriment -- they reinvented everything and by and large I'd say most of what they built in-house was inferior to the industry-norm.
I mean if we want to use that yardstick than Brazil has assets worth trillions.

Mono is caused by Epstein-Barr virus, which is also strongly implicated in MS.

Perhaps you can get a single attack of MS but not get (many) more. Certainly fatigue is one symptom of MS. Blurred / double vision is another.
Agreed.

I think something people are getting hung up on here is that just because something is technically public, doesn't mean you can assist in distributing it.

Example: Controlled drugs are public in that you can easily go to a certain area in downtown and obtain them. However, if you do so, and then you start distributing it yourself, you will be charged with a crime. Nobody has issues understanding this but they seem to have issues understanding when it's data instead of physical goods for some reason.
debian is substantially older than all of those distros, and you named three that happen to, in my view, been designed specifically in reaction against the debian style of maintenance (creating an harmonious, stable set of packages that's less vulnerable to upstream changes), so it's strange to say that debian is the odd one out

keeping a debian-hosted copy of all source used to build packages seems like a very reasonable defensive move to minimize external infrastructure dependencies and is key in the reproducible builds process

there's definitely a conflict with the modern style of volatile language-specific package management, and I don't think debian's approach is ideal, but there's a reason so many people use debian as a base system

also it seems like the idea of maintaining stable branches of software has fallen out of vogue in general

For all you know, the author downloaded a theme and doesn’t care in the slightest. But you don’t have enough empathy to consider that so you’ll close your mind to what could potentially help you think differently.

If criminals already sell drugs publicly, and you go obtain those drugs and give them away to other members of the public, you will be in trouble. I don't think this is too difficult of a concept to grasp.
I have no technical reason, I just wanted to wrap it into a familiar context for people. People are I find less scared of "useful CLI tool I can script around" than "scripting language in its own right".

Right, the peasants with no education and only watching state TV are clearly the ones without a bias, their children that went to university, got a good job, know english are the one brainwashed by CIA/Israel and the evil LGBTQ. I read so many cases of educated Hungarians or Russians ashamed of the level of brainwashing of their parents.

„AI“ (a stupid term to begin with) is just a tool like any other - you can use it to make art.

Of course it’s not going to be creative on its own - it obviously is not intelligent.

But for me comfyui is an incredibly cool tool to be creative.

Such a boring topic after all - all the noise it attracts won’t amount to much once people understand this technology
Not much more than just clicking an update button once in a while. But that’s a standard workflow most people are used to. Updating the clock on the standalone timers has to be done using a tiny LCD screen with an esoteric menu system while holding a manual/pamphlet that’s printed in less than 6pt text. It’s not something you do often enough to remember the procedure.

Of course you can make things more complicated if you want to in HA, or you can set it and mostly forget it if you just use timers.
Show HN: Hello Literature, Bringing your favorite book characters to life
We have been working on trying to make our original app (Hello History) into a white label on both iOS and Android, and as of this week, we finally have our second app in the Appstore.

Our governments are a swamp of incompetence concerning anything "Information age". But still my fav story is from the private sector:

In order to "merry" digital and paper form data, they set up a system to send paper forms to Swiss post ("digitization-as-a-service") who routed them to (afair) Bangladesh where cheap workers (used to a wholly different alphabet) manually transcribed stuff as XML and uploaded it to some ftp directory. We SWEs then were supposed to build automated systems based on that handwritten XML data. Obviously, the cost they reduced with cheap labor they had to pay multiple times to have us building a resilient data ingestion system. Why again are we okay with having lawyers and MBAs making decisions?

That’s from the first paragraph - key nouns like “books”, “podcasts” and the like link to backup for the numbers.

This is amazing productivity - a book is a serious amount of work. Nine in five years though? Thats something else entirely.
I'd say the meaning of "uniqueness" has changed quite a lot with the rise of the internet and social media.

When your point of reference is a town of a few tens of thousands of people, you can be unique without doing anything too outlandish. Slightly different tastes in clothes, music, sports and attitudes to your friends and you're most of the way there already.

But when social media changes your point of comparison to basically the whole population of the world? Well, turns out I'm not that unique after all.
You can skip the new host prompt with ssh -o options.
Yes, but only if you have all three opened, i.e., you are in a "home alone scenario". Remember that Shufflecake volumes have a hierarchy, i.e. volume 1 is "less secret" than volume 2, which is "less secret" than volume 3, etc. In your example, during an interrogation, you would only open volume 1 and maybe volume 2, but not volume 3. You would see that volume 1 has 10 GB of data, volume 2 has 20 GB, and you can still write 70 GB before getting I/O errors. Nothing hints at the fact that there is a 3rd volume. Of course, in so doing, you will actually overwrite and corrupt volume 3, but this is desired behavior. That's why we recommend of always opening all volumes for the "home alone" scenario.
Some tools like ssh and gpg go out of their way to prevent easy use via command line flags. They often have a good reason for doing this, but there are also sometimes good reasons where this type of protection causes problems. Since the implementers won’t budge on their stance, you need workarounds like expect.
COVID, at least strains from a few years ago, were known to cause insomnia.

I remember waaaaay back in the day when Tom’s Hardware was mocked as Tom’s Hotware because they did some testing of what would happen to AMD and Intel CPUs if the heat sink spontaneously fell off while they were running. I think at the time, the AMD CPU melted itself, which Tom’s Hardware criticized. It did seem back then that there was a subtle anti-AMD bias on the site, but I haven’t paid close attention to it over time. It’s interesting to hear that the accusations of Intel bias still exist!

>it has to fill in for all of the choices that you are not making. There are various ways it can do this. One is to take an average of the choices that other writers have made, as represented by text found on the Internet; that average is equivalent to the least interesting choices possible, which is why A.I.-generated text is often really bland.

The model can't output the average because the average is usually completely meaningless, that's why it's a generative model and not a regressive one. As always, these articles are made by people who don't really understand the technology, and create their own interpretation on how it works, whether they are right or not at the end.
> 2. a library that depends on dependencies A and B, both of which depend on X, can actually work properly if it needs to pass API objects created by X across between A and B, since X is of the same version

That feels like an advantage for the developer, not the distro maintainer.

I find that amusing, because you're saying it's easy if they can use one version of the library. Well, that's also true if they're writing an application, hence pinning.
those are userland system applications at most... which i grant is also what the original article talked about, but still.
