You can scroll their X page and it's extremely clear that they're focused on the Gaza war (https://x.com/Sn_darkmeta) and they openly state that they attacked the Internet Archive because it was based in America which supports Israel (https://x.com/Sn_darkmeta/status/1844358501952618976).

We can quibble about whether a "hacktivist" group can even exist at all or if it's a convenient lie the Internet has collectively told itself to justify groups of thugs attacking the targets they don't like as "the good ones", but they fit the modern definition of a hacktivist group.
Yeah something is off. Thanks for letting me know!
Changing steamid is easily doable on most nosteam cs 1.6 copies through a cfg file.

I used to administrate CS 1.6 until a few years ago. I got a question concerning amx_exec. I thought cl_filterstuffcmd basically killed any usage admin slowhacking?

or is it that most nosteam cs 1.6 client have it set to 0 ?

“The requirement from almost all of our investors was actually to relocate to the Bay Area [from London],” says the company’s head of growth Keith Fearon. “We needed to move here."

X being an echo chamber for journalists means it's relevant whether you consume it directly or not. The conversations that the journalists are having on X today are the spin that pops up in disparate outlets tomorrow.
> It would've been trivial to designate X as a gatekeeper to make some cash

The whole point of the article is that the sole reason why X is not "feeling the full force of the EU regulation" is that.... there is not enough cash to make so the EU does not bother. The very definition of an extortion market.

I'd argue that X is far worse than other tech giants in promoting hate crime etc. But since the EU can't really grab a lot of money from it (turnover too low) they care less. As a European, I read the law as; it does not matter how much of a threat to democracy you are: the amount of money you make (and thus we amount we can fine) are the main factor that will determine if we go after you or not. Great.

Regarding this point - Imports have to end in .tsx apparently: `import Foo from './components/Foo.tsx';` - since Vite uses ESM, each file that requires transpiling of some sort needs to contain a file extension so Vite knows to pass it off to some other service that converts it into plain JS before being sent to the browser.

The same is/was true for `.vue` files as well. The webpack loaded had some config that would figure it out for you, but Vite requires that you import the component with the extension.

Personally, I quite enjoy this change because now it's very explicit what file is being loaded and it opens up the possibility to load a JS file and some other file with the same name. Granted, small problem to solve, but in a huge project, it's not uncommon to see duplicate file names with different extensions sometimes.

I really like the hide my email feature in iCloud for this reason. I’ve had to burn an email after making a campaign donation this year. They email you and put you on a million lists but then they also share your email with every other campaign in the ticket. It’s obscene.
That is surprising, I've always thought the value proposition of used EV would be miles ahead of ICE vehicles, at least the more modern ones. A quick google also confirms that the average life expectancy in mileage of EV is already ahead of ICE cars. Generally, EV have the reputation of requiring much less maintenance.

Anyone with some critical experience also with the ipad pro pen?

I'd really like some comments there. There's a lot that goes into writing and drawing, and all the online reviews I've seen seem just to praise it.

I used most digital writing devices starting from wacom tables (first intuos series), to laptops with foldable screens and currently using the rm2/rm3.

I agree that nothing still has the precision of a real pen or pencil. I can lazily fill and shade even with a micron fineliner when I want, and simply can't replicate the same precision with anything else I tried. I could buy a lifetime supply of the best pens and paper with the cost of the rm3.

Writing is mostly fine, but when drawing I notice immediately the precision just isn't there. But still, at least on the rm (both 2 and pro), the digitizer is well calibrated, and the feel is good, the pen is actually like a pen and not the sucky abomination what wacom like to call "pens" or the tiny unusable styluses of the samsung "note" or lenovo yoga series. The show distance between tip and display is very good, and even though it seems ridicolous, the slighltly shorter one on the rm3 makes a difference. The rm2 is still requires a bit too much pressure for my taste (I have a light touch being used to mechanical pencils, fineliners and tech drawing); the rm3 seems slightly improved.

I can still tell instantly that lines are occasionally wobbly due to the digitizer's grid and pen position.

That being said I got the rm2 at some point, and it's the first e-notebook I actually stuck with because it's effectively "endless paper" and has reached the "good enough" feeling for me. I used to have tons of sheets of paper with notes, now I have somewhat less ;).
I still play Quake 1 and 2 online, randomly pop into Tribes 2, Counter Strike 1.5....usually the community is clicky and toxic to outsiders but sometimes you bump into really neat people.
That's a perfect summary of the strange evolution we've had with reading devices!

That's pretty weak argument against intelligent design.

1. The designer does not have to be "omniscient" only intelligent. Some people believe in it's omniscience but I don't think it's a requirement.

2. How do you know that our trachea is not an optimal design when you take into account all the tradeoffs?

3. You're surrounded by items created by intelligent design (us) and all of them have flaws, reused parts and tend to break. Obviously you wouldn't argue based on this that they weren't designed by intelligent beings.
Ah yes, just wrap every protocol in HTTP to get through middle boxes. Just use chrome for all requests becaus fuck having a standard with different implementations. Next you're going to recommend to just automate a Windows PC through simulated mouse and keyboard input to deal with hardware attestation that these fuckers want to bring to the web.
The issue here is that RSS readers are bots. Obviously perfectly sensible and useful bots, but they’re not “real people using a browser”.

When you say "live reloading", does that mean updating the component while maintaining state (HMR) or just triggering some sort of global page refresh?

My guess is that Vite relies on underlying tools as much as possible and only ejects when they need to. This is also why they are writing their own version of esbuild/rollup so that more of the dev pipeline can be controlled by Vite.
yeah my point was I feel like ipad is more reliable. I can live with not having to read from e-ink.

I'm not on team WP Engine or Matt, and I have no personal stake in this (I don't use WordPress).

In C, all pointers are compatible to a void pointer without casting though (e.g. assigning a char pointer to a void pointer or the other way around is completely legal - I think that was the main reason why void pointers were added in the first place - it's basically an 'any pointer'). It's only C++ where this is an error (which is weird on its own, why even allow void pointers in C++ when the only reason they (presumably) exist doesn't work anymore).

The above code still doesn't compile in C because C complains about the function signatures being incompatible, even though the only difference is the argument type which itself is 'equivalent' in C - which I guess could be interepreted as an edge case in the C spec? (IMHO the function prototypes should actually be compatible).
Am I only who wants 460nm backlight instead 450nm typical? 1/3 of monitors on the market are already 460 nm ones, and the number keeps going up.
Glad you like it! This library will not generate a set of convolutional filter coefficients for you if that is what you are after, I'm sure it would be possible to do some fairly nasty maths to get out some kind of equivalent convolutional kernal for a given tuning, or you could wrap an optimiser round it and try to walk your coefficients to something equivalent. I would say though that the juice would almost certainly not be worth the squeeze. The kalman filter is easily lightweight enough to run in real time itself (it was developed for this task), I've deployed several in real time embedded scenarios on a range of platforms (inc. microcontrollers) and it also has the added advantage of doing handling jitter in input timing etc.
I’ve recently discovered rsbuild, which doesn’t have vite’s issue where a large application with many small modules takes minutes to load (in dev), because all 6000 files are an individual request.
You don't need to improve your individual performance to cheat, anything that improves game-sense works just as well. A common one for moba (and other genres) is a radar style hack, which can show an overlay of the map with the player locations in real time. Knowing where you enemies are at all times is a HUGE advantage in a moba.
> The author admits to not being a C undefined behavior expert

At this stage, I would seriously doubt the credentials of anyone who claims to be a C undefined behaviour expert. Saying "I'm not a C UB expert" is just a realistic acknowledgement that UB is hard and we will get it wrong at some point without realising. The approach of having an automated tool tell you when UB is present is very sensible.
I consider myself an intelligent designer but have to make compromises in design all the time. The only kind of designers that don't are ones with cartoonish super powers like deities.
When you notice these flaws you are seeing it in very very short term. What we are today is what eventually worked for a million years. The design you see today is the way it is because it had to be robust enough (including those problems) to survive to this day.

The examples you quote do look like a problem today, but I think they must have worked to some benefit to bring us here.
I would say competitive markets more than capitalism are responsible for that and we've seen many many cartels and monopolies (even with legislation against them) so it's weird to imply that they aren't fairly very common. It also doesn't need to be a full cartel, there is a lot of tacit collusion between companies or other mechanisms where they don't really compete.
What a brilliant example of self-righteous post-rationalization. Maybe we all need to recalibrate our moral compasses. Yes, ethics is nuanced, but not in the case of Palantir, who directly enables the abuse of human rights on a massive scale. They are not in the grey, they are pitch black - arms dealers selling to the highest bidder[1][2]. Same as NSO but with better PR.

The minimal standard we should teach our students is to be part of the solution, not the problem, and that sitting on the fence counts as being on the side of the problem. Working for a "neutral" employer is just not good enough. There are plenty of worthwhile alternatives out there. We all should try to make the world a better place in some small way.

Your steam account is unaffected by anti-cheat measures. Being banned (vac or otherwise) from CSGO does not prevent you from playing other games, nor from playing CSGO alone.

Open and free devicetree is absolutely useless if it needs to be part of OS image. The purpose of ACPI and UEFI is to have single booting mechanism with standardized device enumeration which is available directly on the hardware. If you need to have a random file in your OS image to actually boot on board X and if you have a file for board Y then OS will just crash boot loop, then your solution is useless for 90%+ of users because people are not going to build their own Linux distributions for their own hardware.

If you know what board are you booting on, then you can load correct hardware drivers for everything else. But that's not going to work without UEFI and ACPI.

No, the Digital Market Act's goal is:

"The DMA aims at ensuring a higher degree of competition in European digital markets by preventing large companies from abusing their market power and by allowing new players to enter the market"

(see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Markets_Act)

It's not about regulating hate crime on those platforms. There are other regulations for this, but that has nothing to do with the DMA.

If that matches my experience, outdoors helps a bit, but not much. Overall you get better contrast and brightness, but the fact that the background is "gray" and not white becomes even more obvious.

That being said the rm3 is usable without backlight indoors if the place is decently lit (for example, in most offices), but requires some backlight otherwise. The rm2 is usable also in poorly lit conditions.

Show me an intelligent designer who can literally design the universe, but is still not intelligent enough to avoid these flaws even we can recognize. I don’t think we are intelligent enough to design a completely novel life form, let alone as many as exist on earth in all their forms.

This is all beside the point that there’s no evidence of any kind for intelligent design, only supposition based on nothing more than intuition and feelings.
Yes, you’re describing evolution.

We recently migrated a Laravel app from Webpack (Laravel Mix) to Vite and it was mostly painless. Like OP, we had to update some imports that were using require and we also have a few different entrypoints which is not that well documented for the Laravel plugin.

Another issue we ran into was certain dependencies that only have .cjs versions that work fine when building, but during dev would fail to import via ESM correctly (the dependency itself is inside of a lazy loaded component). That means that if we're working on that part of the app, we need to do a full production build (6 seconds) between each code change and then use the prod build locally to test the feature. Annoying for sure but we can live with it until someone has time to update the dependency to one that natively supports being loaded via ESM.

If anyone is running the old Laravel build pipeline, I suggest upgrading now because it's potentially only going to get more and more complicated. If you have a simple frontend with some helper functions or a few Vue components, it should be pretty easy to reason about. The course on Vite from Laracasts was helpful to explain what some of the less documented features are, which was helpful for integrating with our application.
> Generally, EV have the reputation of requiring much less maintenance.

I'm sure you could generate a maintenance figure for EV that was lower than ICE if you wanted to. But I doubt that figure would be significant, maybe 10-15% if you're lucky.

Why ? Well, let's face it, an EV is still a car. So you still have 99% of the same old things ... tyres, brakes, shock-absorbers, windscreen, windscreen wiper blades, washer fluid, AC gas etc. etc. etc.

And then, of course, if there are problems with your EV battery, or its time for an EV battery replacement, then that 10-15% saving goes out the window. :)
This whole affair has been a disaster for everyone involved. Just a ton of dirty laundry being aired in public…

But they said "sadly". They said "HackerNews sadly never fails to disappoint".

If they really meant the opposite that "HackerNews never disappoints" why would that be "sad"?

But since they said "sadly" I think they really meant what they wrote which is that HN consistently disappoints them. Maybe they meant that the Lisp articles on HN do not go into describing exactly how "code as data" works in actual practical matters and that is consistently disappointing? And they are finally happy when someone explained "code as data" to them in the comments section?
GP is arguing for something else though, namely that intelligent design is a fallacy. It’s advocacies argue that god created humans a mere 10k years or so ago, which obviously implies we didn’t evolve over millions of years, but were in fact created with inexplicable flaws. It’s all bullshit, of course, but there are people believing that.
Good point, interesting that I never ran into this issue in real world code bases so far (and I build a lot of code with Emscripten) :)
