Ok, fair point, they prove that content existed at some point in time, which is useful sometimes. But I don't want people to over-rely on that as "good enough", we can do much better, it's too low a bar for a whole ecosystem of archiving to rely on when we now have a viable solution to fix it (TLSNotary or others).
This is a wonderful project, I'm very excited for it. I look forward to reading about the WebAssembly plan
You're a needy crewmate. If I didn't think you were too sincere to be believed as anything else I'd guess you'd found the most effective way to scare people off from voting for Democrats. How do I know you're not a troll? I don't care if you think I'm a troll. I'm definitely just like 10x further to the left than you, and you're so bought into the party line, that you think I both "HAVE TO VOTE DEMOCRATIC" and I can't want things from my elected representatives.

I'm sure you're converting hundreds and thousands with your philosophy of "you have to vote my way or the world will end" and "don't complain about the things you don't like to the elected officials or we might not win."

If Democrats want to have a guaranteed progressive vote, they should make good on some of their promises to the progressive wing of the party. Progressives are more reliably democratic than anyone else, and yet we take the most shit from assholes like you who think that criticism == voting for the other party.

This had nothing to do with the westbank and yes, Israel has a problem with extremism and illegal settlements. But that isn't the topic here.

Hezbollah has started its war against Israel and the pager attack was an efficient way to retaliate and cripple Hezbollah command. There is no justification for Hezbollah to attack Israel with missiles.

I don't really understand why their attack on Hezbollah logistics is even in question. Israel has to use all their capabilities to respond to these attacks.
While the story is interesting one thing struck me about the writing. The author for some reason mentions the wording in some eBay auctions:

‘“This Redbox lot is a must-have addition to any movie collection,” one of the sellers wrote, while another promised, “From action-packed blockbusters to heartwarming family favorites, this collection has something for everyone.”’

As someone who has seen the use of eBay’s questionable ‘help’ tool, this is clearly the AI generated slop auto description. I find it interesting that someone writing an entire article has taken it as real sentiment and not just someone taking the easiest way to try and make some money on used dvds.
Not currently available, it should be out soon after v0.9 is released.

Currently `mkdir tmp_data && cd tmp_data; archivebox install; archivebox add ...` is effectively equivalent to what `abx-dl` will do.
The difference is that a reader isn’t in any way a victim. They’re choosing to read a book. And if they don’t pay, the writer will often simply be paid less, to the tune of the royalties on that one book. So, yes, that is stiffing someone.

If everyone opted out you could force major change, sure, but in that case you shouldn’t be reading the book. That’s a true boycott. Reading without paying isn’t principled - it’s just cheap. And if you don’t actually organise it achieves nothing - except stiffing the author.
> but the traffic itself was encrypted over HTTPS. This meant that even if one were to use a packet sniffing tool like Wireshark, you would not be able to find the raw token.

It's trivial to decrypt HTTPS with tools like Fiddler or Burp Suite, assuming this build in browser used system proxy and system certificates list.
>Weirdly, teams seem to adapt better to bad code.

The greenfield team usually adapts well to its own buggy code. They know the system so well inside-out that if a bug pops up they have a general idea why.

This is bad, because with natural fluctuation in team members this institutional knowledge is lost. New members don't have the benefit of knowing about the whole evolution with all its quirks, and don't have the unit tests from the previous team to prevent regressions.

This then slows velocity to near zero as the team gets replaced, and leads to the inevitable rewrite.
Matt even dunked on DHH that only 8% left automattic, while 30% left badecamp back when they banned politics. Nevermind the fact that DHHs offer was without a timelimit, allowing people to figure out their options. Also the job markets couldn't be more different.

However, I do think a fair amount of automattic employees do not want to leave since their benefits seem actually really nice. Not many companies provide constant pay regardless of your cost of living, so I commend them for that. It could be impossible to find an equivalent job for non US employees, so 6 months pay for leaving in this market is hardly worth it, unless like you said you had plans to do it anyway.
I think because you can create an object before you persist it in the db. The db will generate the id for you. So id=None is used to mean "not in persistent storage".
It does, you just have to set up a chrome profile that has an extension to hide cookie popups, or use a profile where you've already accepted/closed them and have a session.

You can archive with any chrome profile with arbitrary extensions enabled, so you can use uBlock, I still Don't care about cookies, Ghostery, etc.
WordPress's core dev team has had a longstanding aversion to including "unnecessary" features in the core to avoid bloat, with the idea that plugins can take care of any gaps in functionality.

It sounds like a reasonable philosophy until you see just how many basic CMS features it's missing and subsequently how many sites are running 20+ poorly-coded plugins that spam the dashboard notifications and have numerous PHP vulnerabilities.

> Who needs more than 2 billion elements in an array?

The best case I've seen for this is memory mapping (mmap).

There's long been a tradeoff between simple-data & complex-algorithm and complex-data & simple-algorithm. And the complex-data approach has all but won in the typical OO or web-dev shop.

In short, mmap gives you the power to treat files as arrays. You can just open a 200GB file and run qsort on it, or do a binary search or whatever.

The operating system takes care of when to move things in and out of ram, and it's pretty good at it. Not only that, but it stays in the cache between invocations of your program. So you can crash out, and resume processing as fast as you can hit ctrl-c, up, enter.
If they can be moved, they can be stolen.
This'll boost acceptance, but also open a can of worms.
Boox suck. Stay away. Horrible android os, low speed, battery and hardware quality issues, and dodgy Chinese practices all around.
> Israel is a colonist apartheid.

It is not a colonist by any standard definition.

Apartheid - more complicated. Many people dispute this. I think it's plausible to make a case that there is an apartheid in the West Bank, though it's not completely obvious (mostly because the people there don't want to be under Israeli rule, they want their own government).

> It's not that Palestine can bomb and Israel can't, it's that Israel must dissolve. Israel has neither the right to bomb nor the right to exist. Palestine shouldn't use violence to make Israel dissolve but they have the right to.

Israel should dissolve, and...? What's the next part of the sentence for what happens to the 9 million Israelis? What's the next step for people who are second, third and foruth-generation Israelis and have only known Israel as their home?

What's the implication of deciding that a state recognized worldwide and part of the UN must dissolve? What about the other dozens of states since then, must they also dissolve?

A lie flat like an airliner has limited value on a train that is at most five hours between Tokyo and Fukuoka.

It would probably be more luxurious to put in private train compartments, which already exist on Japanese trains, but not on Shinkansen due to a capacity crunch.

> Yeah, but they could've overturned it if they didn't like it.

The question is if they could've passed it to begin with. There is nothing in the constitution giving Congress the power to delegate its lawmaking authority to the executive branch, much less deprive the courts of their interpretive role.

> Should the policies and regulations of 100s of industries be decided by:

> 1. People who are only familiar with court proceedings 2. Experts in those industries with experience in those industries

The first one is actually better, because it makes it harder for the industry to capture the decisionmakers. Meanwhile the experts are still in the court, they just have to argue their case before the judge instead of having the parties argue their case before the "experts" with a sack of cash.
Sorry, yes, my bad. Thank your for the correction

I don't know if cloudflare offers it, but whitelisting the URL of the RSS feed would be much more effective than filtering user agents.
Big transformers are now limited to boat transportation, and it's a constraint on grid design. I assume this is also the case for other industries that become river bound but wouldn't necessarily be so if not for equipment transportation. So this could be a game changer (more so I think than this faster than boat slower than plane thing).

Facing My Performance Anxiety
Maybe Haskell is more like Bourbaki math, whereas Lisp is more like Russian style maths (ala Vladimir Arnold). I prefer the latter tbh, and I come to programming from a maths background. We are all different. Lisp to me is yet to be surpassed in terms of ergonomics when transfering my thoughts into computer code.
Grab in SEA region could be said as one more example of such a "super app" too.
This is only true for a very narrow definition of pacifism. It is the literal reading of Matthew 5:39.

But not even all Christian scholars subscribe to that definition, let alone pacifists in general. Many pacifists are perfectly ok with self-defense.

Honestly, I think they should optimize the time it takes a powered off device to boot up and turn the page after the user presses a button[0]. Sure, those readers tend to be full-blown Linux computers with nontrivial boot time, but approximately none of the features this stack provides are needed for simply turning the page.

I'm sure I'm underestimating the complexities of the problem, but the first idea that pops into my head is to add some flash storage that's, say, 5x the size of the framebuffer, and always keep in it the current page + next two and previous two pages (swapping pointers to avoid unnecessary writes), and have an extra microcontroller that would wake on button press, read the appropriate page from the flash buffer, and send it to the display controller. The whole process could take a fraction of the second (+ screen redraw time), all while the main OS wakes up (or boots up) in the background, and the user would experience no delays if all they're trying to do is read their book page by page. Once ready, the OS would update the flash buffer and stay active for a short while, in case the user decides they want to flip pages quickly.

--

[0] - Gosh, I keep forgetting the readers only have touchscreens now. Another reason for superiority of hardware buttons for page turning.

> The problem isn't cheating itself, the problem is players feeling like they have been cheated (and thus not buying micro transactions in the future).

Any game I pay for that pressures me to pay with micro transactions already makes me feel like I've been cheated. "Free" to play games might be motivated that way though.

Although I doubt it would stop cheating, making sure that players can't do impossible things is absolutely a good idea and something that should have been done ages ago.

The best solution to avoid cheating is to play with people you know. Expecting a good time when playing with internet randos from all over the globe is maybe too optimistic.
That's a misleadingly small part of the story of why there's no peace today.

Israeli went on to elect multiple other PMs to continue working towards a peace deal. Rabin was assassinated in 1995, but Barak met with Araft in 2000, 2001, Olmert was trying to make a deal all the way up to 2007. And in the meantime, famous military hawk Sharon actually withdrew all settlements and military presence from Gaza, supposedly giving them what they wanted - no more settlements.

What actually happened is that a result of the Oslo accords, while yes, one right-wing extremist killed Rabin (and another right-wing extremist committed a disgusting terror attack on Palestinians) - the Palestinians started a massive wave of terror attacks, probably spearheaded by Hamas with the express purpose of scuttling the peace process.
One positive outcome of this entire dispute is I picked up an old project where I wrote my own cms. It's been fun stepping through the code, and I'm tempted to take it further under a permissive license.
Well, one single long exposure would literally generate a regular sized image. Though I do guess they’ll be doing multiple exposures if only to avoid saturating their dynamic range.

Does anyone know what a typical number of acquired frames is for a space telescope?
The way I understood evolution wasn't that "some mutations will have a positive impact", it's more like, when a species hits hard times, "some mutations allow it to survive long enough to reproduce".

Sure, you have dominant genes like eye colour. But evolutionary changes to a whole species are more about weeding out genes that cannot survive, right? Because if a species has no specific sexual selectors for breeding and all mutations survive and reproduce, then how does a specific gene thrive?

Edit: but chatting to my wife, she mentioned that species is a difficult concept, generally taken to be a generic group that actual mate in the wild. There are several different species that could technically produce offspring but through sexual selection, do not.
Reading this article reminded me of a song from my Spotify playlist:

I've been thinkin' 'bout catchin' a train

Leave my phone machine by the radar range

"Hello, it's me, I'm not at home

If you'd like to reach me, leave me alone"

(https://genius.com/Sheryl-crow-a-change-would-do-you-good-ly...)

So she's singing about the phone [answering] machine by the microwave - that makes much more sense now (actually the Genius Lyrics site also has a "footnote" on that, but I haven't looked it up before). Is "RadaRange" a genericized trademark in (parts of) the US, same as "Xerox machine"?

Reminds me of a similar revelation I had long ago, when I discovered the trademark Frigidaire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frigidaire), which (I assume) is the origin of to the Romanian word for refrigerator (https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frigider).
Every archiving tool out there makes trade-offs about what is archived and how. No one preserves the raw TLS encrypted H3 traffic because that's not useful. When you browse through an archiving MITM proxy, there are different trade-offs: there's an extra HTTP connection involved (that's not stored), a fake MITM cert, and a downgrade of H2/H3 connection to HTTP/1 (some sites serve different content via H2 vs HTTP/1.1, can detect differences, etc...)

The web is best-effort, and so is archiving the web.
Well it doesn’t break the conventions of the purpose they offer it for. Cloudflare attempts to block non-human users, and this is supposed to be used for human-readable websites. If someone puts cloudflare in front of a RSS feed, that’s user error. It’s like someone putting a captcha in front of an API and then complaining that the Captcha provider is breaking conventions.
Not all websites are PWAs, and on linux those websites shows differently.

This is illegal in Europe, since you can't add somebody to a list without their consent.

As usual, I know it's trendy to say on HN the EU is killing innovation with all the regulations, and there is truth to that, but there is also great customer protection, which seems constantly violated in the US.

So yes, in the US, companies can flourish, but it seems the consumers are second-class citizens compared to companies.

That's why it's nice to have both: eventually, EU regulations leak out to the rest of the world, and the US innovations reach us.

We pay the price by having a weaker economy, they pay the price by having less dignity in their life, but there is eventually balance.

Not taking sides here, but the GPL did not include a trademark grant the last time I checked. In fact, treating copyright and trademark rights separately is a fairly well-established strategy in the open source world (e.g.Firefox and Ubuntu).
