> But, it just feels like you've made another story and another character for you to fit into. You've got a new aesthetic, a new ideal, and your appreciating sunsets and nature is another thing you do because that's what the 'character' you try to fit would do.

I think this is a case of words are hard.

OP was asked to elaborate, and tried to put into words a state of being. It wasn't as another story of self, the previous state of having stories of the self was in the original post. This was an attempt to describe something, I am not sure language is nuanced enough to grasp it, or encompass it. I personally experience it as "inner peace" or "acceptance", very close to the core essence of philosophical Daoism or Epictetus' Stocism; I've never been able to put it into words but as another comment says:

>> The problem is that state cannot be expressed in words or cognition, because it isn't part of your mind.

Which I find to be a great way to express it.

It doesn't mean being a transcended guru or anything; for me, the more I work on myself the more I find things that are leftover relics given to me, and I work on figuring out if that idea or values are actually mine or someone else's, and if mine, are they outdated (why did something trigger it) what needs to be reworked, does it need to be reworked. If it is someone else's, do I want to keep it or discard it. Thats one of the more actionable ways I try and explain the years of inner work to get here (by here it sometimes feels like the starting line, not the finish). One day while hiking I stopped in my tracks as it hit me that I could not think of the last time I berated myself (this use to consume a lot of my time, but no one ever knew it), or was triggered into aggressivly defending my ego or tried to be something other than myself for others. I think we are told to build the outer self (protect and hide the vulenable inner), for me that was backwards, build the inner, "know thyself", and you don't need to build an outer protective shell. It's a much more "authentic" self experience, one I don't have to think about.

Of course there are bad days and negative thoughts, but compared to what it was..., its rainbows and butterflies with a couple passing rain clouds now.
They'll use AI for everything except proofreading packaging contents.

Just asking the free version of any LLM service would've caught that in a few seconds.
The situation is different now, though. It could be that the new ones will be more deferring and so able to stay longer.
> it seems like you ship it with .NET Core as a dependency, kinda like JRE for Java programs?

Pretty much yes. (there are also other ways to bundle it)

It's not even called ".NET Core" any more, it's just ".NET", which for version >= 5.0 effectively is the successor to cross-platform .NET Core.

.NET 9.0 will be out shortly - The annual release is expected November 2024, likely this week.
Natron is also pretty well-known, I think?

It’s relieving that at least other branches of vaccine development are not under the information regime as with COVID.

“However, environmental bacteria complicate the picture. If present before vaccination, memory immune cells primed to destroy the environmental relatives might cross-react with and neutralize the BCG strain before it has a chance to set up an immune response against itself and M. tuberculosis.”

Nobody cared if one already had covid before administering the vaccine and since the vaccine came late many have had a previous infection already. The new mRNA vaccine utilities the body to produce the actual pathogen and with already existing immunity from a previous infection one’s immune system starts to attack the mRNA modified cells and pathogen product.
This is crazy, what a mess. Definitely convincing me to not buy expensive items via delivery, if I can avoid it. I hope the person who had their shipment stolen (OP) gets "made right" in the end!
Ah, yes, "REAL" computing:

in the old days you had to pack your 17inch screen into your car, drive to your friends house, plan to game Doom or Quake, but in the end you were configuring network drivers etc. the whole weekend instead of playing: including features like countless reboots and reinstalls because something was crashed during "optimizing" the memory configuration for whatever driver<->game combo.

and if you set a wrong/not supported screen resolution in NT4, you had to set off power to reboot the computer because resolution back-switching was not available back then.

REAL computing also in the sense that a 500kb wordfile could crash your machine, if it loaded at all - because it took 1 min to load the bytestream from disk :)

yes, good ol days :-D
Only on HN could someone implement networking from scratch, only to be dismissed by someone in the comments implying they've no idea what they're doing.
> Ok, you can hold to the position that no-one has a fundamental right to enjoyment of their sexual and romantic lives

I could, but why would I? Then I'd be among the very people I'm questioning, which would then question why I would need to question myself? You've not thought this through, have you?

> and that governments can pass arbitrary laws restricting sex

Yes, technically a democracy can pass whatever arbitrary laws it wants. Laws are not some magical force, just agreements people have made.

> Any law banning heterosexual sex would surely be struck down as unconstitutional.

Only if the people are willing to uphold the constitution. It too is not some magical force, just another agreement people have made.

> You, presumably, would be the lone voice in the wilderness insisting that the crazy law ought to be enforced on democratic grounds.

Under a democracy, the law is to the will of the people. Why do the people of the USA want sodomy laws in the first place?

You might be right that that the USA is well on its way to having a dictator who can become the lone voice who controls all, without concern for what the public wants, but that is not the current state of affairs and that individual most certainly won't be me.
The word “Rust” is all over the code repo, you’d need to do a massive change and you’ll lose the ability to merge upstream changes. “Rename the repo if you’re doing something meaningfully new with no intent to merge it upstream” is fine, but it’s not enough to avoid saying “Rust” in the version you distribute.
I'd presume that a MITM could set, release and read locks, by which it might determine that you have certain sites open.

In general¹, I presume that any API that uses "same origin" as bounding criteria, must be secure. Since there's no way to enforce this "same origin" in insecure contexts.

--

¹ Aside from the idea that maybe just make all new APIs "secure only", just to discourage insecure contexts.

Scientific approach would be to try this yourself.
> It was 4G that would have partial coverage, not 3G.

By the time 4/5G are built out well, I'd expect 3G to win some and lose some, becoming more of the latter every year.

Unless the plan was to switch all the 3G equipment over to 4/5G simultaneously, making 4/5G become reliable overnight?

> due to its superior ability to penetrate through buildings

That's a feature of low frequencies. I don't think 3G does better anywhere if you compare the same frequency. And a bunch of the frequencies are exclusive to newer protocols, aren't they?

Edit: someone information about Lazarus deleted their comment, my answer;

I know about Lazarus yes; I use it for my old projects. I would like a modern version that also works in-browser and .NET seems good for that as this shows. Maybe based on this https://pascalabc.net/en/ .

Not kidding; I still enjoy Pascal/Lazarus (and common lisp) programming more than anything current; none of the anxiety and all of the joy and productivity.

What Activity Monitor actually shows as % CPU or “percentage of CPU capability that’s being used” is what’s better known as active residency of each core, that’s the percentage of processor cycles that aren’t idle, but actively processing threads owned by a given process.

That's exactly what I thought it was. Where do I sign up for the refund?

I really hate this click-bait trend to assume what I do or do not know.
It's not actually about `*` -- for instance, declaring `const T = *T;` emits an error. The thing that makes this okay is that field types (for structs and unions) are evaluated in the "lazy" way you describe.

Sounds to me like the alleged 'powerful radiation environment' is being selected as the optimal scapegoat.

The actual collapse was due to shoddy construction of several load-bearing structural elements, very low safety factors in the design, and decades of ignoring both proper maintenance and obvious signs of impending collapse.
Word frequency is one thing, shifting word semantics another. Some of those words meant very different things in the 1970's than they do today.
Not sure. On one hand they maintain leverage (for things like protection from China), on the other hand the US might grow tired of being restricted.

I think the US might also be in a position to apply pressure back by forcing ASML to only sell Taiwan generation-behind processes, I suspect even the threat of that would stop this straight away.

This happens everywhere. Let me tell you a story about who studies language and how.

Linguistics studies language right? It has a few hundred year history of doing so seriously. But once AI people wanted to also have a look linguists became unhappy. They didn't like the idea of someone else saying something about their problem with a different set of tools. Those tools don't provide explanations that they approve of. Even the thought of measuring things over a dataset to check if your linguistic theories work made them bristle with Chomsky famously rejecting the idea of evidence at scale.

So AI people created natural language processing. Their own field to study the same problem. One in a while someone tried to do something to bridge the gap which led to the famous "every time I fire a linguist my performance goes up".

Many people in NLP see linguists as outdated fossils. Most would probably vote to just shut down linguistics departments I suspect.

Then something funny happened. The LLM people did to NLP what they did to linguistics. And the NLP community rejected them. Because LLMs don't provide an explanation that they approve of. Recently just like in linguistics the President of ACL, the main NLP organization, said recently that NLP is not about machine learning! The absurdity of that statement just boggles the mind. So the LLM people now have their own conference and field.

A lot of people cannot accept that things must change over time. They want to do research the way they did it 10 or 40 years ago. So they create an immune response. It's human nature.

As someone who doesn't feel this way and enjoys moving forward, I'm really sad about what's happened to NLP in the past few years. It would be nice if we could stop this rift. But it won't happen with the current hate filled President. I stopped sending any work there until they reform.

Just the cycle of academic life. I wonder if science would move faster if we could select for people who are willing to change with the times.
I used the W5100 before with Arduino but I am not sure about "gold standard" quality. I had a lot of issues with random disconnects several times a day with this board. Maybe it's the board, or maybe it's the arduino code or the connection. Or maybe it was my code. I don't know. Eventually I switched to a pi and never had any connection problems anymore.

When it comes to tcp connections linux seems more robust.

>should I use PSAD or CrowdSec?

Use a free solution, never used these. Are they even current?

-ssh is a way to access the server (pub key is preferred way)
-ufw is a frontend to iptables
-fail2ban blocks based on regex rules. (needs tweaking)

For web, you'll need port 80, 443 open, and a port for ssh, default is 22. I would change ssh port to something higher as there are many bots that scan all of these known ports.

Monitor your logs, and check for activity. access.log, syslog etc.
I'm satisfied with Hugo: https://gohugo.io/ It is very fast and has a lot of features. The syntax highlighting for code looks also very good.
I’d assume that if you have used them for a while, you have a rough understanding of the performance characteristics and/or the knowledge of how to write even a quick, rough benchmark for them.

It's difficult to answer your question without much more detailed analysis of your use case. I looked over this document and i seriously question at the beginning when it talks about using ansible to apply their policies and they tell you to turn on allowing root logins for ssh. Nothing else after that in the document seemed suspect but simply saying that that's something you should do seems very wrong to me. You should never allow a root to login directly over ssh.

A lot of the other things in the document aren't wrong but in my opinion aren't necessary except in certain use cases. The use case that they describe in their system is a desktop class machine hanging its butt out on the internet. Although they continually refer to it as a server, their use case clearly defines it as a desktop class machine.

One thing that i do it disagree with their assessment on is that ssh keys are automatically better than using ssh with passwords. While keys do have benefits the kind of thinking that says they are better than passwords leads to mistakes being made which can end up with your key leaking. Either method is only as good as the human security placed around it.

Overall i would not recommend having ssh exposed to the internet. Using a wire guard based vpn to be able to access your machine(a) provides a much better layer of security that exposing ssh.

There is just a lot of principles around security as it relates to your use case. One thing to keep in mind is that you're only vulnerable on the things that you expose. Reducing attack surface is one of the most basic things that you can do and one of the most beneficial. Why run five services when one service could be sufficient? Why have a service listening on anything but loopback if it is not required to listen on anything but loopback. Little things like that can reduce your exposure. Because ultimately security is layers. Yes you should have a firewall locally run on the system blocking parts and you should have a firewall run on your network blocking access to things that should not be accessed. What happens when one or both of those firewalls are misconfigured? This is where having services only running and listening on non-loopback ips when they are required reduces that exposure greatly.

One other thing to review would be the nist guidelines for how the dod secures their systems. Most operating systems will have a security hardening package to apply those guidelines. The problem is about 80-90% of the guidelines are good general security best practices the remaining 10-20% are obnoxious compliance things. For example fips is largely about compliance rather than security. It has some security benefits but because it requires algorithms be certified for compliance it is always out of date for the best algorithms.

I feel that people underestimate the impact of this.

The current world economy is built on the assumption that the population pyramid is a pyramid, if there’s a glut in the influx of healthy new citizens a whole slew of supply chains will collapse.
Say what you like about Visual Basic (and a lot has been said that is less than complimentary), but for a huge number of people and workplaces this was the tool that moved people from trying to fudge Excel or Access into a workflow and actually trying to write some software.

My first language was BASIC on 8-bit machines (actually, it may have technically been Logo on a BBC, but I remember BASIC on a BBC as an 11 year old more clearly), and by the time VB came along I'd moved onto compiled languages like C and interpreted languages like Perl and PHP, and was a bit sniffy about the point and click nature of it all. I had one friend at college who refused to move on from QBASIC - I once saw him write a 3D game engine in that could about 30 frames _an hour_ on a Pentium - and the general atmosphere of being pro-FLOSS/anti-MS, plus a ton of really badly written apps encountered out in the wild when I did some small business IT consultancy made me very averse to VB in general.

But you know, it wasn't the fault of the environment or the language. It was powerful, useful and better than the alternatives for a lot of people. Its main contemporary competitor - Delphi - seemed all the rage before it didn't. And I now wish we'd been able to get a little more down the simpler visual programming domain for a while, because the modern equivalents like XCode feel massively confusing to the novice, so the learning curve feels very steep by comparison.
In my case you can find a room full of 20+ Apple machines in my home. The newest is from 2013, and I haven't bought another machine from them since (and never will again). People do in fact put their money where their mouth is. Sometimes it's hard to switch your primary computing platform and isn't just a momentary decision. For me it has taken years but I'm completely migrated to open source OSes and will never install another proprietary OS if I can help it.

It very much is not. No third-party clients; can’t see threads without an account; owner inserting himself and his ideology at the centre; fewer and less diverse participating people; diminished trust in the platform; more spam; different verification rules… Even the character limit is different.
Spatial memory is a very useful and important part of navigation. One thing I (and probably we all) miss is an ability to create nameless folders. Well, we sort of can, with “New folder (24)” and “dklstnrigwh”.

I’d like to use spatial sorting more and in regular folders, but that’s very fragile and second-thought in most UIs. Also they provide no visual cues, so I can’t leave my file in the left black drawer with a flower sticker on it.

Yes I know about Bob and how it failed. But it works for me in e.g. Fallout games where I can use multiple boxes in different rooms to sort my loot. I just know that my plasma rifle is in the metal box near the bed and cells are in the dresser.

The ability to find things without creating, remembering and searching the names or containers feels good.

What cities do you prefer?
> What do you mean by "minimal syntax

It's a beginner friendly and "demo mode" set of features to reduce boilerplate for small programs, such that the minimal "hello world" program is literally 1 line of code.

And a working minimal ASP web app with a http endpoint is not much longer.

C# and .NET was from day 1 designed for "programming in the large" so that large codebases can be sensibly organised.

This however causes some overhead, such that a person coming from Python might have looked at the standard C# "hello world" example with using statements, namespace, class and method wrapping the 1-line payload, and conclude that the language is impossibly clunky and cumbersome. My opinion is the opposite; managing e.g. 50K lines of code without those ways of organising code, is going to be impossibly clunky and cumbersome.

However, it is also true that demo mode is great for 1-file demos that get right to the point.
Depending on the content, I would recommend AsciiDoc (and not Markdown) to write a book. Markdown might be a good fit for text-only books like fiction, but AsciiDoc has much more useful formattings for structrured documents like technical or scientific books.

Making coffee takes like 3 steps.

VB6 is how I got really started off with programming and building games. There were project files you could find online of games made in VB6 of such immense complexity (one was an 'MMORPG' with networking, file save/load and data serialisation via RTF blocks, etc.) that it made my head spin. I don't know if I would have gotten into programming at such a young age otherwise.
