For local services, you can get certificates with CAs that support DNS validation (e.g. LetsEncrypt support that). You'll likely want a DNS provider that has a suitable API so that the e.g. ACME script can post the relevant code to the DNS record, but then you're good to go. A proper public domain name that points at an internal only IP address.

The other benefit of DNS validation is that you don't need to run it on the web server itself (e.g. if it doesn't have internet connectivity), but you can have an ordinary PC/laptop request the certificate and then copy it to where it's needed.

"For neurons, it isn’t so specific, right? They all might fire, depending on the timing, and whether or not they are… I don’t know biology, charged or whatever."

So we assume. And with some good reason, including both the studies done over the decades, and the fact that we've built systems based on this architecture that match this concept.

However, it is important to observe that this characteristic is still in the metaphorical spotlight. It is a thing that we can discover. If, in fact, there was One Blessed Neuron that contained the most vital aspect of some critical concept in someone's brain, we currently have zero capability to discover it, zero ability to characterize it, and effectively zero ability to manipulate that neuron directly in some experimental fashion once identified. Therefore, we should be fairly suspicious of the claim that we've eliminated this as even being a possibility.

I expect it is unlikely that there is a such thing as the One Blessed Neuron, even so, but there are a large number of other hypothetical organizations that could exist beyond "an amorphous neural net with nothing really located anywhere", and we have good evidence for that as well; the "regions" of the brain, the fact we can visibly see physically different organizations of neurons in certain regions and associate them with certain tasks. I would not even dream of trying to guarantee that there is no structure lying in between the gross differences we already know about and the hypothetical undifferentiated neural mass, the structures in those complexity voids between what we can currently see. We again have a lot of inductive reasons to believe that there is likely more structure there we do not even have a clue exists, on the grounds that every time we get a closer look at something for the first time ever, it is rarely only and exactly what we expected. It's such a notable outcome that it gets called out specifically when it happens, precisely because it's rare.
Oh. Sounds like you're referring to Agile and Standup with capital letters. In my experience people talk about agile-with-a-capital-A and standup-with-a-capital-S and those two don't really match what actually happens in the real world, at least in my experience.
I appreciate you sharing articles. Do you feel that we're trying to establish how well I see 'reality' or about Tesla's odds of deploying self-driving cheaply and widely. It feels like the former, but maybe I'm not being charitable enough in my reading of your posts.

Simply sharing the evidence that helped shape your own worldview does not necessarily invalidate mine. The first-hand evidence I shared supported my claim that Tesla has wide distribution, lots of data, and falls somewhere on the spectrum of self-driving (admittedly not fully autonomous).

The evidence you shared shows that Waymo has limited (but increasing) deployment, limited data (only the 3 metro areas), relatively little revenue, and—to its credit—fully autonomous driving capabilities under city-driving circumstances.

Waymo is taking a different development path and I'm rooting for them too.

But I'm still not convinced that the odds are in their favor. Can they build a relatively affordable car and especially their LIDAR system at scale? Will they be able to scale production before Tesla cracks the fully autonomous nut? I personally still think the odds are still in Tesla's favor. Note that I did not ever say: 'Tesla is the only one who can or will make self-driving work'.

> relatively little revenue

100k rides/wk * 4 weeks/mo * 12 months * $50/ride = $24m/year
Yet Alphabet is investing $5 billion, hence 'relatively little'

Ham radio always seemed a bit boring compared to the Internet, computers, and software development. ... What are the most interesting things people are doing with Ham these days?

It's sort of hard to answer that. In a certain sense, the answer is "talking to other people on the radio". Which taken literally, sounds kinda boring. You can talk to people lots of ways.

That said, what people get out of ham radio varies a lot from person to person. A lot of people are interested in the hardware, and the electronics of building, tuning, and/or repairing radio equipment. Other people focus on "DX'ing" or making contacts from as far away as possible, using the last amount of power as possible. The fun part is all the fiddly details and what not to optimize the situation at hand. You could think of it as being a sort of analogue to "code golf" - trying to squeeze a certain algorithm into the smallest number of lines of code, or the least amount of memory.

Other people are interested more in the "public service" aspect being discussed in TFA. They are interested in being available to help during disasters and other events. Also, just as an FYI, hams do more than just help during disasters or other emergencies. At least here locally, hams often volunteer to help run comms for sporting events like marathons and what-not.

And then you get people who want to experiment with new modulation schemes, or who want to use genetic algorithms to evolve interesting new antenna designs, or who want to bounce signals off the moon, or who want to talk to the ISS, etc. etc. Other people like messing with inter-linking repeaters to see if they can talk to somebody on the other side of the country using a 5 watt handheld, by linking 5 or 6 repeaters (or whatever it takes). Other people interconnect ham radio systems with the Internet, or do digital data transmission over the air using APRS or similar protocols. Other people might use DTMF tones to remotely control some kind of device. Others are maybe into drones and might experiment with strapping a repeater to a drone and seeing what that yields. Some might use ham radio to collect telemetry from their drone (or other device).

So really, "talking to people" is kinda the base of the whole thing, but there's a lot of other aspects of ham that entice people. Me, I do a small amount of random talking with people on the local repeaters (so called "Ragchewing") but my interest is more in the electronics aspect, and the public service aspect. But there's lots of room to experiment and play around with stuff in the ham space.

With a “branch” you’re often talking about the same repository (as in you can push to the same repository). With “forks” there might be N different “trees” where each tree is “mine” and the coordination could be patches via emails.

With such a loose relation you could easily end up in a situation where you are conceptually “force pushing”. Because you might use the same patches but not have the same graph topology.

What if you send three patches to the upstream and they incorporate it with git-am(1)? Then they have effectively made a different history with your patches: three commits which are not the same as your three but may be patch-identical. Then you need to keep track of that “force push” by the upstream so that you don’t maintain your now duplicate commits (as in distinct commits but the changes are duplicates).

In the render it shows the airship directly loading while hovering above a warehouse. This is currently not allowed under FAA regulations and would require a regulatory change. Not being able to do that makes a lot of the business model assumptions questionable.
In addition to the hundreds of blocks and mobs that would need to be implemented properly and rarely are, the lack of mod support is a killer.

Insights on the State of Sex and Marriage 100 Years Ago
What is the goal: to promote free software or to stand for people's rights to have sexual relations with fourteen-year-olds?

If the former, having the movement spearheaded by someone who has pretty controversial views on the latter isn't really doing the movement any good. If FSF clings stubbornly to a thought-leader who people can't take seriously, they're canceling themselves.

I've seen the accusation leveraged in this topic that this anonymous piece could be FUD by Microsoft or a similar big-name software giant. I'd actually suggest the opposite: if I wanted to throw sand in the gears of free software, keeping Stallman in the leadership chair so that his opponents can point to him and say "You really want to listen to the guy who wants to sleep with your teenage daughter?" is the way I'd discredit the movement.
One issue with requiring some kind of fee to get SSL certificates is that it acts as a barrier to hobbyists and kids trying to set up a website (probably to learn about the technologies involved). That barrier means that there'll likely be more unsecured websites around which is not desirable.

Maybe some kind of traffic based tax would be better - just have the biggest ISPs pay for all of the free CAs.

Layout is so difficult that it made me quit using Common Lisp and ncurses to build my passion project and become the very thing I swore to destroy (a React developer).

I can't be the only one who wants a simpler layout language than CSS that's designed with two decades of hindsight to provide the maximum simplicity-expressiveness product. Are there any serious projects to engineer something like this, or has everyone given up and either embraced CSS3 (waiting for the LLVM backend) or gone back to plain text?
Ask HN: HTML multi-select not user-friendly on desktop?
Yesterday I was reviewing an HTML form with my UX colleague, and he said we should change all our <select multiple> elements to collections of checkboxes instead since selecting multiple things with it is just too unintuitive for desktop users.

Shift+click to select consecutive multiple

Ctrl+click to select non-consecutive multiple

Shift+Up/Down to select consecutive multiple with keyboard

Ctrl+Up/Down then release Ctrl, then Space to select non-consecutive multiple with Keyboard

(for mac of course replace Ctrl with Cmd)

This surprised me since it is a built-in html standard element, but kind of makes sense after thinking about it. What do you think? In contrast I do like how it renders on mobile, where it basically does render as a series of checkboxes. Would it be better if desktop browsers redesigned it to look more like mobile?
One interesting thing I noticed after updating to iOS 18 specifically, is the removal of reader mode as a "mode". It's now OFFERED to you in the new view menu based on some heuristic about the page that Apple has determined, but it's not a mode you can turn on regardless of if Apple thinks you're on a "readable" document or not.

Frustrating since their "remove distracting elements" feature was a great value-add, done in the same update.
When something absolutely doesn’t make sense to me I often go back to a point in time and do a checkout of when I was 100% sure “it worked” and if it doesn’t then I assume something external changed, hardware, backend service, the earth’s wobble. If it does work then I will bisect the timeline until I Iocate it. This works for me 99% of the time on tough bugs that just defy any logic. It’s kind of known quantity as opposed to going through endless logs, blames, file diffs, etc. I know in some cases it isn’t really possible but in code that you can have a fairly quick turn around on build/install/test, it works really well.
Wouldn't it make more of a positive change in the world if you went and did something useful instead of posting snarky comments on Hacker News?

FWIW, Pavel, one of the authors, has devoted considerable time into what is one of the very, very few attempts at a formal specification for CSS (the static/float layout fragment cf [1]). It's a Racket program generating Z3 SMT solver code for verifying an instance layout (which also looks like Scheme) so it's not for the faint-hearted ;) but maybe just what an FP fan on HN is looking for as a challenge.

It's a trope for sure, but it doesn't really make sense: a lot of American dishes are traditional British foods. Roast dinners with stuffing and gravy, apple pie, pancakes, biscuits/scones, fried fish and potatoes, meat pies. Thanksgiving dinner is an ancient British harvest feast with some New World ingredients; Christmas dinner is the same format.

And since most American food has also made its way to the UK, there's really not a great deal of difference.

Crowning with laurel is the central part of the eastern christian marriage rite, dating to at least the byzantines. Greek and Arab christians normally use stylized laurel leaves but still occasionally real ones.

Slavs have mostly dropped the laurel/triumph connection and just use a replica gold-jewels-and-velvet crown. Though the ones I've seen are still engraved with patterns suggesting plants so there's at least an allusion to the older tradition even there.

I don't know what connection a 17th century english royal would have felt towards this tradition but given that period's fascination with antiquity it may have been a common association. I also don't know where the byzantines got the idea, but it feels like one of those pre-christian mediterranean things they adopted. I know laurel crowns were used for all sorts of ceremonies and festivals in greece & rome, not just martial victory. A wedding is a kind of triumph I suppose, it would not surprise me if this is an ancient tradition.

> with similar hardware provenance

no not at all Pine64 hardware is pretty crap (performance wise, very normal independent of the OS at that price point)

Like you are comparing things like 3GB LPDDR3 SDRAM (Pine64) to 6GB LPDDR4X which is world apart (not only does it move from a "very tight on memory" to "somewhat acceptable memory" (very big deal) it also is much faster (~2x).

Similar on the Pine64 you have 4 old little cores here you have 2 big + 6 little cores and all more modern (end even just the little cores are faster when comparing one core with another, ignoring that you have 2 more little cores and 2 big cores).

Storage moves from a quite tight 32 GiB (through I guess if you only do stuff like mail it might be enough) to a likely more then enough 128GiB (also faster).

Noticeable faster GPU too, I guess.

And way better camera, at least by by numbers.

So not comparable at all.

But what matters most is not the absolute differences but moving it from a "so tight on RAM,CPU,GPU,Storage that you run all times into problems" to a "enough for all common tasks". I.e. from you need micro optimized apps for it to work nice to yes it works if your app is imperfect territory. And that is a pretty big deal.

But also lets be realistic. Atm. _any_ Linux Phone is a pure enthusiast product balancing various problems (price, small production lines, only android diver problems, proprietary blob problems etc.). And many of the enthusiast earn enough money to afford a 500$ toy, through maybe just rarely and with thinking twice about it.
Kind of. The tricky thing here is that most people have a rigid view of "obesity" in their minds as it's easier to shift blame to, but the only thing research has shown is that abnormal BMI leads to increased cardiovascular issues. Which includes slightly overweight people.
