My 70 year old mom who lives alone and whose only company is really her TV went nearly 5 weeks without tv or internet when some construction cut the line (or something near her place). Who is her provider? Comcast. Why did it take so long? Anybody’s guess. But was the customer service so amazing? No. Hahah. No. They’re just the only game in town. Monopolies suck for this reason.

Hey HN!

I built Peekzip to solve a common problem I had: safely inspecting ZIP files without downloading software or opening them and run the risk of ZIP bombs, remote code execution exploits and hidden executables or scripts.

Peekzip lets you instantly view any ZIP file's contents right in your browser. Just drag & drop, and boom - you can see everything inside. No downloads, no software, no security risks.

I’ve built this project mainly for my own use case, but wanted to share it here to get feedback and perhaps if someone else finds it useful.
Just to clarify, OPNsense is based on FreeBSD[0], not OpenBSD. But OpenBSD does indeed make a good router/firewall OS as mentioned by GP. :)

Something I don't understand is why people don't appreciate /expect misdirection.

For instance, a malicious actor, of even basic sophistication, coming from a Russian ip and occasionally using Cyrillic and missing grammatic artcles is probably not Russian. Similarly a malcious actor with a pseudonym including the term patriot, coming from a US IP and using terms like howdy probably is not American.

False attribution is a core lesson in malice 101.
I like it, one piece of feedback I have is - the export to PNG button, I wasn't expecting it to be a screenshot of the JSON, I thought it would be the graph; at least to me that would make more sense... paste JSON, see graph, export image of graph. What do you think.

Right, I agree with you. I'm old enough to have noted the shift towards being more careless/less hygienic. I wonder why. You mention Westerners, well I'd probably agree with that too (but that's a trivial sample of two—a proper survey is needed). By contrast, when in Japan I noticed many, many instances of food preparation to be particularly hygienic.

It's interesting to note I purchased a Vietnamese-style bread roll for lunch today (presumably the owners were originally from Vietnam), and noticed the woman serving me had only one protective glove on—on her right hand. What was particularly noticeable was that she prepared the roll with her gloved hand and put it in a new paper bag without her other glove-less hand touching anything (tongs acted as her second set of fingers). At the cash-register I handed her a $50 note and rather clumsily with her left hand she deposited my note and returned notes and coins as change without using her gloved hand at all. Clearly, she was very conscious of hygiene. Why her and rarely others? Incidentally it was a small family-owned shop so the woman wasn't just acting out the hygiene requirements of say large chains like McDonald's.

Moreover, as COVID has diminished I've noticed very few now wear masks but the vast percentage that still do are Asians (BTW, I'm in Australia which is a mixture of every nationality).

Take from that what you will.

One could imagine a more equitable society where startups weren't solely (hyperbole) reserved for those who come from wealth and privilege. Nothing wrong with prestigious schools until that's the only metric you're looking at when you could also evaluate on sound fundamentals, ability and technical competence.

Of course modern investors (or a least the ones at VC) probably aren't qualified to judge applicants on merit.

I'm an HN person before I'm a Fly.io person, and as an HN person I find the points you're trying to make --- anybody can see them throughout the thread simply by searching your name --- tedious.

As a businessperson, I don't think I have much to gain by genuflecting to the importance of reliability; everybody I care about on this site shares an understanding with us that reliability is important, though apparently not with you that all these systems are fallible. So I'm making the decision not to genuflect, and instead call you out --- you in particular, anonymous, venomous, green-named commenter --- as a a writer of boring and facile attempted dunks.
I'm puzzled with your statement here. Frankly, offended by your sarcasm and unprofessional behavior here.

Twice recently I've traveled by air to visit an ill family member in CA. Both times I've reserved a hybrid, but given a "free upgrade" to an EV because the hybrids were gone. I stayed with family who don't have any charging infrastructure at home. The two DCFCs in town were constantly busy any time of day I tried them. My only saving grace was that the rental facility was apparently aware of this sort of problem, and preemptively told me to not worry about bringing it back charged.

I love my EV that I daily drive back home, but if I, someone who already has the apps and knows how things work, have a problem with it, it's gonna really suck for those who don't. CA should really consider improving local charging infrastructure before sponsoring more EVs on the road.
I had a fun 2 years where I basically had 800 critical lines of math code that had to be on every platform, one version in the native language of the platform, and one version as performance optimal as possible.

I was absolutely stunned to find that on web WASM ~= JS which altogether weren't far off from a naive C++ stdlib port. I had to make custom data structures instead of using stdlib ones to really get performance significantly different . IIRC my most optimized C++ converted to WASM was about 70% the speed of JS.

Hello, friend! Professional writer here.

An enumeration of three choices followed by a generalization reads like the three choices are examples of the generalization, not disjoint.
I believe it's not that collisions (and gravitational interactions) don't happen when it's in a disk, but the galaxy as a whole has an overall rotational momentum about some axis, and collisions within the galaxy can't change that. This means that it can flatten along the axis, but it can't shrink in the perpendicular plane.

If everything were twice as close to the axis (as gravity would like it to be), it would need to be moving twice as fast to conserve rotational momentum, but that's faster than the velocity of a circular orbit at the new radius (assuming everything was in a circular orbits to begin with).

The same principle is why almost everything in the solar system approximately lies within a plane.

We do, but not of the SQL variety (that I am aware of). We have persistent key-value and document store databases hosted in these clusters. SQL databases are off-loaded to managed offering's in the cloud. Admittedly, this does simplify a lot of problems for us.

Sounds great. Perhaps an interesting aspect: I haven't discovered the right words for it but: If it is your job, answer the fucking question. This layered approach might prove more of a gain than imagined. They might not show it but some people are terrified to ask even the first question. Others think it perfectly fine to ask 100 questions they already know the answer to.

Some of your statements are wildly inaccurate. The trustee’s job is to maximize recovery for creditors, which they did, and the creditors worked with the winning bidder to make this happen. Alex Jones is upset the auction was sealed and they couldn’t attempt to outbid anyone else. “I don’t like the rules.” is not a defense. Legitimate explanation from actual attorneys below.

Let me underline this.

Tesla was once a company that was a shining star of environmental hope. The legacy of Tesla providing economic paths to viable EVs shielded the company from the, uh, controversy of its CEO, which my comment history has a history of somewhat reluctant defense.

Tesla is no longer that company. It is a barrier and a hinderance to EV adoption. Tesla is a luxury car company that is only interested in establishing economic moats to its relative monopoly of EVs in America.

- They no longer have any drivetrain or battery technological advantage in the marketplace. They possibly have a minor economic advantage in packaging/integration than US competitors, but while I would once say they had a two year lead on US competitors, they have less than a year now I would roughly guess.

- They DESPERATELY want to keep Chinese EVs out of the marketplace, who have superior economics, possibly superior or at least equal drivetrain/system integration ability, and likely better and more flexible battery pack architectures especially for all the chemistry types (NMC, LFP, Sodium Ion). Thus they want tariffs.

- Tesla has no plan for a mass market city car and other mixed mode electric transportation like motorcycles and mopeds. This is the car of the EV revolution, powered by the revolutionary economics of the sodium ion battery, which should cost 1/3 or less of NMC once it scales. The city car, which I'm actually envisioning as a 10-15k car with 200 miles or range, would help push out USED ice vehicles from the system, not just take a share of new ICE car sales.

- Kind of related to the city car, the EV revolution requires the realization of the cheaper-than-ICE car. Tesla is possibly able to do this, but shows no inclination to deliver this. China or a US-China car company partnership is probably what will deliver this. Tesla is only interested in resisting this prospect.

- IMO Tesla could have pushed its brand and battery economics to lots of two-stroke engine tools and taken the electric lawnmower / leafblower / etc from the "luxury green virtue signalling" category like eGo brands, to a "beats ICE tools".

- Tesla is opposing subsidies, which from a mass market replace-ICE standpoint are absolutely still needed, especially since the total-ownership factor of EVs is now superior in the general sense. But buyers need the immediate price superiority to seal sells.

- Tesla's supercharging network is one of its moats already, and it has done some nods to opening it, but generally Tesla's expansion of the supercharger network hasn't really exploded beyond the needs of what it thinks its own EVs need. Arguably it has disrupted or resisted universal plug interfaces and other standards in favor of its standard.

You can say Tesla isn't obligated to live up to any of this, but their double-mouthed CEO has spouted ideals for a decade, and to some degree they delivered in previous years, but it is clear to me that in recent years they are no longer in the "do no evil".
not sure its petty as such.

They're deliberately trying to bolster smaller industry starters... the market in in danger of being a monopoly split between 1 or 2 US brands and the flood Chinese brands...

Tesla is in no danger from this piece of legislation.
It’s less that they are made in other states. It’s that they used all the resources here then left after making it big. Pull up the ladder after succeeding.
Thanks for the feedback, the option to take a snapshot of the graph sounds good, I will add it to the TODO
One can avoid container orchestration by avoiding the trend of containerizing your app.
It wastes system resources, provides half-baked replicas of OS services, reduces overall security while simultaneously making networking a total pitas.

Your cloud provider is already divvying up a racked server into your VPS's, via a hypervisor, then you install an OS on your pretend computer.

While i can see how containerized apps provide a streamlined devops solution for rare hard to configure software that needs to run on Acorn OS 0.2.3 only, it should never be the deployment solution for a public facing production web service.

Horses for courses.

> And it is certainly not something you can just automate with 30 lines of bash. If you can, please elaborate.

Maybe not literally 30.. I didn't bother actually writing it. Also bash was just a single example. It's way less terraform code to do the same thing. You just need an ELB backed by an autoscaling group. That's not all that much to setup. That gets you the two loadbalanced servers and zero downtime deploys. When you want to deploy, you just create a new scaling group and launch configuration and attach to the ELB and ramp down the old one.. Easy peasy. For the secrets, you need at least KMS and maybe secret manager if you're feeling fancy.. That's not much to setup. I know for sure AWS and azure provide nice CLIs that would let you do this in not that many commands. or just use terraform

Personally if I really cared about multi cloud support, I'd go terraform (or whatever it's called now).
I hate "cloud shit" as well, though specifically that there's a vendor-specific 'app', or terminology, or both, for everything that we've had standard terms for, for decades.

I just want a damn network, a couple of virtual machines, and a database. Why does each <cloud provider> have to create different fancy wrappers over everything, that not even their own sales consultants, and even engineers, understand?(1)

What I do like about Docker and Kubernetes is that shifting from one cloud provider to another, or even back to on-premises (I'm waiting for the day our organisation says "<cloud-provider> is too damn expensive; those damn management consultants lied to us!!!!") is a lot easier than re-building <cloud provider>'s bespoke shit in <another cloud provider>'s bespoke shit, or back on-premises with real tech (the right option in my opinion for anyone less than a (truly) global presence).

I do like the feel of, and being able to touch bare metal, though the 180-proof-ether-based container stuff is nice for quick, flexible, and (sometimes) dirty. Especially for experimenting when the Directors for War and Finance (the same person) say "We don't have the budget!! We're not buying another server/more RAM/another disk/newer CPUs! Get fucked!".

The other thing about Docker specifically I like is I can 'shop' around for boilerplate templates that I can then customise without having to screw around manually building/installing them from scratch. And if I fuck it up, I just delete the container and spin up another one from the image.

(1) The answer is 'vendor lock-in', kids.

(I apologise, I've had a looooooong day today.......)
IANAL, but AIUI, the situation is somewhat analogous to “debtor in possession”.

For example, if a “factory and everything in it” is sold in a bankruptcy auction, the buyer doesn’t get the vending machines owned by the 3rd party caterer. The vending machines are in possession of the debtor, but not owned by him. So the bankruptcy court can’t transfer them.

X is arguing that users do not own their handles, so X cannot be compelled to transfer a handle from one user to another as part of a bankruptcy auction.

Besides the sibling comments, officially Windows is going to go under some rewrites under the Secure Future Initiative, and the MSVC team has been reduced in resources, to the point now they are asking what features of C++23 people want to have.

https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Implement-C23-...

I suppose usually one would like to have everything from a language standard.

The C++20 winning run seems to have been one of a kind, and whatever made it possible is now gone.

Speaking of gone, Herb Sutter has left Microsoft and most certainly had to do something with whatever is going on MSVC, C# improvements for low level coding, and Rust adoption.
Right, but that's just the classic occupier tactic - target the (usually independent-minded) intelligentsia of conquered territories to suppress any budding national liberation movements. But OP was talking about Maoist purges of their own intelligentsia. Bolsheviks indiscriminately purged the nobility, which certainly did disproportionally affect intelligentsia, but they weren't ideologically anti-intellectual the way some Maoist strains or Khmer Rouge were.
Or like cool activists that made a stupid-but-rich corp accept them despite their obvious activist goals — who knows.

I'm not disagreeing with that part; I grew up in Russia in the 90s, where, if you had any significant amount of money, you'd have a dollar or euro account, and ideally both.
