There is another, related class of tools, and that is graphical editors of the Unicode box-drawing characters:

Or, less ergonomically, the general rectangle-editing commands built into more powerful code editors e.g. Emacs.

With these, simple but fairly pretty box+line+text diagrams can be inlined with your source code comments. This unification may help in the perennial struggle to keep software architecture and source code reality in sync.
> Most banks will report it to your credit bureau - you won't see it in form of points being withheld BUT it might be adverse for you when you try to get a loan, etc

I never knew this! I have heard about companies banning you if you request a CB, which would be really bad for things like Google, Uber, etc.

I usually end up having to dispute a charge only once a year or so. It has surprised me over the past few years how lacking AMEX seems to be in its "investigation". It at least used to take a few days and they'd sometimes ask for documentation. The last one I did got turned around in maybe an hour.
Force is only one of many methods to achieve certain outcomes, not all methods that could achieve the same general outcome are known, very little cognitive effort is put into searching for alternatives, leaving few options other than speculation if one is obligated to form a conclusion on the matter.

> 4 of the 12 killed in early reports were either children and healthcare workers, so early estimates were 33% civilian causalities

A 3:1 CCR is close to par for the course for NATO and positively honourable for e.g. Russia [1].

Tptacek's take is correct. (Of course it's Patrick.) One can reasonably disagree with the strike, even if limited to the precedent it set for plastic detonators that most countries' scanners can't pick up. But as a military tactic, even taking Hezbollah's numbers at face value, it was normally discriminating for a Western power.

Silly question, but why would you ever buy a kindle (or a kobo) for an audible book?
HART: Efficient Visual Generation with Hybrid Autoregressive Transformer
I think the commenter misunderstood the article a bit. I was trying to give benefit of the doubt.
Oh wow, finally a color kindle. This is the first I’m hearing of it. This will be great for comics.
You're confusing multispectral and hyperspectral. If it was hyper you'd have the ability to slide through at image "cube" where the z axis is wavelength. Would be cool, but current hyperspectral cameras are extremely low resolution because they're just a prism array on top of an off the shelf panchromatic sensor using blocks of pixels to form that z axis.
The topic is also a specific article about that transition year. I don't think that commenting about an article being particularly well-written, easy to understand, or having nice examples would be against the guidelines here.

If discussion of anything but the underlying subject of the link - including references to the writer, quality, and content of the writing - were considered tangential to the point of being against the guidelines to discuss, then surely so would commenting that another comment is against the guidelines.
There are a few different use cases, but cloning a VM image file is definitely a popular one.

Also, `mv` between different filesystems in the same ZFS pool. Traditionally when crossing filesystems doesn't allow just using `rename()`, `mv` resorted to effectively `cp` then `rm`, so at least temporarily required 2x the space, and that space might not be freed for a long time if you have snapshots.

With BRT, the copy to the 2nd filesystem doesn't need to write anything more than a bit of metadata, and then when you remove the source copy, it actually removes the BRT entry, so there is no long-term overhead.

One of the original developer's use cases was restoring a file from a snapshot, without having to copy it and have it take up additional space.

So you make a file (foo) 2 days ago.
You change it each day.
Today, the change you made was bad, and you want to restore the version from yesterday.

before BRT:
you copied the file from the snapshot back to the live filesystem, and it took up all new space.

after BRT:
we reference the existing blocks in the snapshot, so the copy to the live filesystem takes no additional space on disk. A small BRT entry is maintained in memory (and on disk).

If you remove the snapshot, the BRT entry is removed, and the file remains intact. No long term overhead.
It’s not that simple.

Some games aren’t able to prevent cheating. The client has the data on where the enemies on their screen are. The cheat only needs to move the mouse and click on the enemies heads. Other games like MMORPGs involve the cheat just playing the game and farming on behalf of the player.

It just becomes a cat and mouse game where the anti cheat is trying to detect something hooking into the game process while the cheat tries to hide itself.
Some of the sophistication is not really in the technical breaking of the game or protocol anymore, figuring out if something is plausible might yield detections that you cannot "cheat" because it no longer matters if your cursor clicked on a head at the right time or not, it matters if your posture/reputation/experience makes your behaviour plausible.

Cheating and anti-cheat used to rely a lot on the pure technical parts (like "is something sneaking some reads from the memory the game engine uses to clip models?"), which is ultimately not something you will win as a game developer (DMA/Hardware attacks or even just frame grabbing the eDP or LVDS signal and intercepting the USB HID traffic has been on the market for quite a while).

But implausible actions and results for a player can only be attributed to luck so many times. Do 30 360noscope flick headshots in a row on a brand new account and you can be pretty sure something is wrong.

If we can get plausibility vs. luck sorted out to a degree where the method of cheating no longer matters, that's when the tide turns. Works for pure bots as well. But it's difficult to do, and probably not something every developer is able/willing to develop or invest in.
> banana curvature thing is a Euromyth

EU Regulation 2257/94 governed the curvature of bananas. It was later replaced with EU Regulation 1333/2011 which is specifically a regulation on bananas and lays down specific requirements for bananas, in particular on their colour, firmness, ripeness, curvature of the fingers, bruising, moistness, smell and many other factors.

GDPR isn't a blanket ban on cookies. You don't require a cookie notice for strictly necessary cookies, which you have a "grounds of legitimate interest" for: https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/r...

Fraud prevention is listed as an example of a "legitimate interest."

So no, by my layman's interpretation, they would not have been bound by GDPR to notify the user of cookies or other fingerprinting used solely for anti-cheat. They'd run into trouble if they use that same ID for marketing/advertising without consent, though.

Sorry which medium sized forum are you referring to?

I love forums and want them to continue, I'm not sure where you got the idea that I dislike them as a medium. I was just pointing out that public sites in general have started to see some attrition a bit lately for a variety of reasons, and the tooling needs to keep with new mediums as they appear.

I also make no apology for the content, in fact ArchiveBox is explicitly designed to archive the most vile stuff for lawyers and governments to use for long term storage or evidence collection. One of our first prospective clients was the UN wanting to use it to document Syrian war crimes. The point there was that we can save stuff without amplifying it, and that's sometimes useful in niche scenarios.

Lawyers/LE especially don't want to broadcast to the world (or tip off their suspect) that they are investigating or endorsing a particular person, so the ability to capture without publicly announcing/mirroring every capture is vital.

OK, but again, people are telling me to take code I do not own the rights to, and to release it under an open source license. That's 100% illegal. This is the equivalent of me taking a Stephen King novel and pasting it into a webpage and attaching a Creative Commons license. That does NOT make the Stephen King novel open source. It just gets me in trouble and sued.

And the license matters. We're talking about something owned by a company somewhere, legally. Humanity's concerns don't matter in business and legal affairs. As I stated above, I agree that we should be able to save everything. But this has nothing at all to do with what's good for humanity. This is about money and copyright law.

Also, OK, your personal code is not licensed. Great, now I can take it and license it myself, copyright it myself, and then sue you for hosting it in your github account. Hey, I'd be in the wrong, but if I lawyer up I can just win by spending money and waiting you out. This is the world we live in. It's not good, but it's reality.
Good job, team. Companies are sure to open source their legacy proprietary applications now after that warm reception.

Borrowing money in exchange for interest is a fair transaction. Taxes on the interest are paid by the company that lent the money.

I use a motorized desk, but I'm realistically only standing about a quarter of the time. Standing is great for "thinking on your feet" but it is hard on the heels after a while.

My setup (which is just a solid core door on top of a generic motorized frame) is nice because I can press a button and rapidly change to a different position. The main benefit is that a motorized desk setup, combined with an adjustable VESA monitor arm, and an adjustable drafting stool, provides a tailored ergonomic position whether I'm sitting or standing. Wrists, elbows, back, neck, and eyes are all in a stress-free position.

There is lots criticism of this project , including its rising cost, currently $12 billion. My point is there needs to be large amounts of storage , KEPT IN RESERVE for unexpected weather events that last several days. Then there needs to be the (to be constructed) network capacity to get it to where energy is needed. ( At present , most just assume a infinite copper grid) Then there needs to be excess generation capacity to recharge the storage after its use. (Hopefully no back to back extreme renewable droughts) The present electricity supply system has evolved over several decades. Completely re engineering the electricity grid over a relatively short time , like a decade, is bound to have lots expensive problems leading to high electricity prices and un reliable grid supply. Every EV as a battery , skeptical about that, sounds good, I can see implementation problems.
Supply chains aren't perfect. There is legitimacy to asking if any of the pagers or walkie talkies wound up elsewhere.

I'm not a lawyer, but I think this actually has some interesting things to think about. Not all cookies require consent under the ePrivacy directive, there is an exception for cookies that are "strictly necessary for the delivery of a service requested by the user". I think that'd fit in this case, since providing a cheater free experience is part of the "service" the players are looking for. At the same time, the ePrivacy directive also mentions that the user should be provided with "clear and comprehensive information" about what is stored. Providing that would render the cookies useless.

I don't know how these would balance each other out legally, but it's fun to think about
Not at all. Any song on youtube uploaded in the last 5-10 years is as good as a 320 kbit mp3. Why would it be with the bandwidth anyone has to today?
I'm advocating for a balance of powers. Which is why I'm quoting a precedented action by a president. Right now the SCOTUS is grabbing a lot of power for itself that has been delegated to the executive branch by congress in accordance with Chevron deference.

You call out yourself that the judges are essentially creating law. (presidential immunity and abortion both are just bonkers decisions based on thoughts and feelings). I think the only way to curb that from the supreme court is that the other governing body capable of action (see not congress) needs to remind SCOTUS that they've got finite power.

Do you have another alternative here? Maybe more ethics rules that SCOTUS doesn't have to follow? Wait for congress to impeach a sitting justice for corruption? Hopes and prayers?

> we have explosive device that passes through airport security scanner

I don't think it passes through modern American scanners--they can theoretically discriminate plastic explosives (and presumably detonators) from water, though whether it gets caught is a matter of TSA competence.
In general, hardware/GPU/MAC signature hash checks are the only consistent way to bind player account histories, and even then cheats will change their identity with new hardware on fake postal addresses. Best to add a few weeks delay with "reviewing" ban status to prevent them returning hardware to retailers. Each day randomly permute which hardware signature trips the auto-re-ban after a random number of minutes.

Cheaters ruin the fun for everyone including themselves. Admins need to provide a personal cost deterrent for problem users, and randomly hang the game for people using code mods.

Here's some backstory to what happened from a former Llama Group (Winamp owners) employee who suggested the open source release. He was envisioning something similar to Doom's GPL release, but management couldn't be convinced that the code had nothing more than historical value (likely explaining the dumb license) and everyone who had worked on the legacy Winamp codebase got laid off before the release was announced (likely explaining why there was so much proprietary code in the repo, anyone who knew it was there no longer worked for the company). Honestly the whole thing seems like a desperate PR move by a dying company, it's a shame that the license prevents the community from taking over the project after Llama Group goes under. https://arstechnica.com/civis/threads/winamp-really-whips-op...
I like this theory! And I don't think it's a cynical one either—this "laundering" could actually be really useful.

The worker gets the status and security of a tech/consulting job, while having more variety than actually working at the chemical plant, not being at the whims of their org chart, and also just the reframing probably makes it more enjoyable anyway. All the while, the important work is getting done.
I occasionally submit PRs to open source projects on github. One time a reviewer asked me to completely rework the code for no functional difference but to just do it the way he would have done it. I just said "it fixes a bug, take it or leave it." and left it at that. It saw it was merged in eventually but couldn't really care less. I wouldn't generate too much emotional attachment to a code segment because heartbreak at some point is inevitable.
What are the chances that this will reduce the seeming push, from every VC and Wall Street, for companies to have everyone in the world on a monthly payment plan? I would love to see that trend end. Most people cannot afford to have a monthly subscription with every company they interact with.

That doesn’t work well when you actually do need to receive emails from them once in a while.

Equifax abuses this to the extreme, with every single change to your credit usage triggering an “account related” alert. But you still need to allow them for that one time they actually send a useful alert.
What makes you think that the Iraq war was not terrorism? You're comparing Israeli terrorism to United States terrorism. Israel and the United States are a prominent terrorist alliance, and they have been terrorizing the Middle East for decades.
You should email them and tell them they're not in compliance with that regulation. IBM will have lawyers who care, so you might be able to stop that spam not just for yourself but for everyone.
Show HN: Logfolio – A Tool to Track Developer Work Logs and Prepare for Reviews
Hi HN,

After realizing how much I struggled with keeping a consistent record of my daily work, I decided to build Logfolio – a tool to help developers effectively track their work and leverage it for career growth.

Logfolio helps developers:

- Record daily work logs of accomplishments and key work items.
- Summarize their progress using AI, making it easier to review achievements during performance reviews.
- Craft tailored cover letters and prepare for interviews based on work logs.

The idea was inspired by Gergely Orosz's "The Software Engineer's Guidebook" and his insights on the importance of keeping work logs.

I just launched it on Product Hunt and would love feedback from the community:

- Does this solve a pain point for you?
- Are there features you'd want to see added?

You can check it out here: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/logfolio

Thanks in advance for your feedback and thoughts!

That shouldn't be an easy mistake to make.

Your test code should be clearly marked, and better if slightly separated from the rest of the code. Also, there should be some feedback about the amount of tests that run.

And yeah, I know Python doesn't help you make those things.

This paragraph doesn't require proactive measures be taken to protect civilians. It just suspends its own restriction on booby-trapped items if there is a military objective.
