> It's a bad idea to write JSON parsers that can accept comments. Comments are not part of JSON.

I would tend to agree, but I don't think it's such a problem if it requires an option to be enabled and the docs make it clear that incorporating comments means it's not really JSON anymore.
> I mean, I am happy for them but this concept of growing a business to an exit is not going well for society as a whole

The last thing I want is to be a 70 y/o still supporting a registrar. Especially considering the margins.

Probably you read to much Arch users comments,
many servers run Ubuntu LTS , and many desktops run Ubuntu or Kubuntu.

I tried Debian, Sidux, Arch, Chakra, Fedora, Mandriva, Mint and others
and for last 10 years I am happy back on Kubuntu LTS , there is no magic on the other distros that give you performance and I do my work on this PC, game on wine/Proton, I have latest NVIDIA driver.

The reason I use LTS is because I do not need the latest features+ latest bugs combo from upstream, I can fix the current bugs and wait a few year until I am forced to upgrade.

Btw some Ubuntu developers are also Debian developers so using Mint or other Debian based sitro is still benefiting from ubuntu devs work.

Boy do I have some bad news for you: Automated Content Recognition [0, 1, 2]. If your Smart TV is connected to the Internet, it can also track what you're watching or doing, even if you're using it as an external monitor [3] (in Dutch).

Come on, this was about the language syntax, not some external massive util library. Ofc, this web engine would implement mostly its own utils, since dependency on external kludge like unistring or ICU or even worse harfbuzz(c++!)... would nullify the advantage to depend on a simple computer language.

I did not look that much into it but I can bet that 'lisp' browser is actually just a 'lisp front-end' to big tech web engines... namely a scam, please prove me wrong.

I would write a browser in RISC-V assembly with a small macro pre-processor, but the issue with the web is its infinite scope killing any non big tech, real-life, alternative attempt, and not for the good reasons.
Came here to recommend Porkbun - I've had great experience with them and so have all of the friends and family I've recommended.
Corporate bootlicker alert!
I coincidentally just this past week ran into a major issue with Namecheap on a fraudulent domain marketplace sale that they did not resolve properly or in a timely manner. They deserve their meh reputation. They were decent about a decade ago. Come renewal my domains up for sale are moving to Dynadot. Was considering porkbun but I sense they are heading the namecheap way.
I certainly do not understand the totality of God's design; no human being could have enough time in a single lifetime (all we get) for such an endeavor.

You have brought me a smile this morning, my friend. Once again, nominative determinism is evident in this comment section.

Peace be with you. We love you. If you wish to learn more of our Sufi understanding of our world, my comments over the past week explain a great deal. It doesn't look like you need it, though. Thanks for your comment on this gentle morning; it makes me happier still.

After checking our your profile, I'll say that I just played that Peter Tosh song for the teenagers the other day. It's so beautiful.
Even as someone who was in high school at the time I have no doubt in what you said.

I believe that were indeed a lot of very serious issues, which if not fixed, would have resulted in a very different experience at the turn of the century.

But at the same time, I remember in about 1998 or 1999 my friend proudly professing that the new PC he bought was Y2K compliant. I'm pretty sure that all the software and PCs used by an average person for over 5 years was equally Y2K compliant making silly sticker on the box practically meaningless.

It was stuff like this which was blown out of proportion.

Your average consumer's hardware would be absolutely unaffected, but these consumers were nevertheless aggressively pulled into needlessly buying new PCs which were supposedly more Y2K compliant than their current ones.
But crypto..
"Hetzner decided to cancel our account and terminate all servers"
History repeats itself, it's not the first time the bourgeoisie takes a hit, and it certainly won't be the last time. The top 10% of Americans own ~70% of the wealth, right before the French revolution it was about ~80%.

As long as they keep mocking us, accumulating more and more while telling us to work more, for longer, with less opportunities, less services, less dignity, &c. it'll get worse and worse, until it eventually snaps for real. Now that we have instant communication these inequalities are even more of an insult. The motive doesn't matter at that point, the people don't care, inequalities are so bad that being rich is enough of a crime.

> Are we really so divided, so used to dehumanizing one another, that people are out here openly celebrating the cold-blooded murder of a hardworking family man?

"we" ? "we" who ? Nobody is divided on this question, from the far left to the far right seemingly everyone either don't care or rejoice, the only people who feel bad are the people in power, and there is no "we" here. A 200k/yr engineer has more in common with a min wage burger flipper than with these ghouls

It's like when a kid is getting mauled after repeatedly slapping a pitbull despite being told over and over again that it'll end badly, sorry not sorry. We keep celebrating revolutions, they shouldn't forget they also happen outside of history books
Windows Phone tried this as well with Continuum. It was around 2015 if I remember right, so a couple years after Ubuntu Edge raised the idea, but it did work well from what I saw.

It wasn't a finished product, given time and investment it could have been a pretty slick setup for basic tasks.

Perhaps I'm too optimistic, but the legit exploit will have a very different style. Perhaps broken English and a 50% code and 50% text instead of 10% code and 90% text. I guess that a fast triage to detect non-cookie-cutter reports would be enough (but anoying anyway).

Learning a language requires persistence. I think the main purpose of Duolingo is to maintain interest and motivate myself to read other materials.

When I am not very interested in the language, I will just check in on Duolingo every day. But if I regain my interest after a period of time, I will concentrate on studying other learning materials.
- Because 10y ago was already too late.

- Because they can invest and still fail.

- Because a press release and actual money spent on reasearch are two very different things.
"It is also strange to complain about multiple ports when can get a USB-C hub"

First, a USB hub is bulky and frankly a damn nuisance to carry about, it needs to be integrated.

Second, USB-C/OTG on many phones is implemented in a way that makes it essentially useless. For instance, USB-2 (which is on most phones) is too slow by miles; access to external devices via OTG is often set deliberately to time out after say 30 mins or such, also on many devices permission to access OTG is awkward, and the vast majority of phones do not support NTFS for external drives or internal SD cards.

Frankly, is this is a first-class fucking nuisance. Why can't I have direct compatibility with my PCs and laptops?

To get my phones to do what I want I have to root them and even this isn't fully satisfactory. Rooting is a pain and takes a lot of time to do it correctly and I'd prefer not to do it

With OTC there is no consistency across phone manufacturers. Why the hell not?

Also, why are phone manufacturers removing micro SD slots from phones?

More on NTFS, why doesn't Android support NTFS after all this length of time? After all, the Linux kernel now does and has done so for some time, so why has Google nuked it from the Android kernel?

Now if I go to that despised Chinese company Huawei I can get NTFS support by default (on OTG at least). That Huawei can offer NTFS as a standard feature and most others do not tells me a lot about the oligopoly-like smartphone market.

People here have been criticizing me and voting me down because I've had the hide to suggest features for specialized phones but no one seems to bother addressing the elephant in the room which is that the smartphone market has reached stagnation.

There's been fuck-all worthwhile innovation in recent years.

I'm loving how we're just 3 levels down into "python installers/package management" and it's already a heap of radioactive waste. Within 3 comments, 6 different python packaging and/or environment management tools were mentioned, and as a seasoned python user, I haven't even heard of direnv yet. Every week, a new pip/py/v/dir/fuck/shit/tit/arse -env tool emerges and adds to the pile of turd that is python packaging. It's truly getting to parody level of incompetence that we are displaying in the python community here.
Nature is for us, my friend, but we have to be intelligent in how we care for it, and you have a very good understanding of how important that is. Cheers!

We must also care for each other in the same way that we should be caring for our beloved Earth, herself. Once we become consumed by compassion, we care for all we come into contact with. That is the pinnacle of human personal achievement, but few reach for that glorious happiness.

That will hurt sales.
It should be illegal for any company to rely on AI or automation to handle legal risks, especially without any human driven support to fall back on. The fact we're handling over things this serious to unreliable and poorly configured systems feels like absolute insanity to me.

Also, why is the domain registrar even being contacted here? I thought the general idea was that you'd first contact the site owner and wait for a response, and if there's no response in a certain amount of time, then you might contact the registrar or something. No one should be going over the heads of website owners and creators for matters like this, especially not as their first resort.

In a logical world, they'd contact Itch.io and Itch.io would take down the page (which they did), and that would be it. No need to involve the registrar at all in a case like this one.
Agreed. Promising stuff like "Hey we built this because everything else is bad" and then years later selling it to a company that turns it bad is somehow even worse than classic bait and switch.
Intel underinvested and made the wromg investments for years. (x86 phones, optane etc). Global foundries tapped out of competing at 7nm because it was too capital intensive. Pat knew that to compete would take hundreds of billions with a payoff years away. That's just the way the industry is but they didn't give him enough time.

Intel under pat didn't take seriously the threats either and acted like a big company instead of a scrappy startup. They didn't fight for the customer and deliver value. Notable examples are feature locked CPU's and SRIOV disabled GPUs and low VRAM.
Did you try going down the HA Docker route? Definitely not plug-and-play - there was tinkering - but no weird errors for me.
Like I frequently¹ advise²:

Don’t look to large, well-known registrars. I would suggest that you look for local registrars in your area. The TLD registry for your country/area usually has a list of the authorized registrars, so you can simply search that for entities with a local address.

Disclaimer: I work at such a small registrar, but you are not in our target market.

Absolutely agree, but like 20 years ago.
This article resonates greatly with me. And because this is not happening anytime soon, I run with Android phones in the "throw away" price range (~200€) or even refurbished ones until the battery or the charging port dies, or my banking app refuses service (happened once last year on an old Samsung S9 which was running perfectly up until then)
Yeah that’s a good point about the real-time decisions. I’ve been thinking about it since my comment and I think I’ll give raw another shot. It has such a wider dynamic range* than jpg and maybe it’s a way to almost future proof your photos.

BlueSky seems to be far less like-oriented. They aren't just a good metric of engagement there. People read and move on. If it might be helpful to others, they will repost, and that's it.

Besides, with 26K followers on BlueSky vs 173K on Twitter, I'd say the engagement on the former is significantly higher any way.
Is it “absurd”? If you’re going to be rejected access to a country, wouldn’t it be better before you get on the plane? Seems the opposite of absurd, it seems preferable.
N100 blows it out of the water for anything that just needs uptime, reliable and fast storage, speed and video encoding/decoding.

You can get an N100 16GB ram with 500GB M2 storage for about $200 range, which if you were to spec out a Pi with a case, cooling, proper storage, correct cables you'd be getting close or past that.

Obviously electronics or GPIO projects I'd still go with Pi.
Yes, if it's USB-C. You won't like the experience though.
Syrian here, born, raised, and finished my studies in Syrian.

Been to many countries like UAE, Saudi, and finally Germany.

I can tell that the joy is immense. Most druze and alawite are not too happy and fearing, mainly because of the feare built into them throughtout the war years.

Incertanitiy is very big, but the joy of seeing a north-korean-like system collapse in few days is unimaginable.

I have seen too many nk documentaries, I can say that it applies 100% to Syria, with many many more complexities in the region.

AMA

Happy to give proof to mods.
FWIW, I found the Newton quite workable and carried and used it constantly --- took all of my college notes on it, and in particular, art history, where the professor asked if I could share my notes with a learning-disabled student who had difficulty note-taking and reading handwriting, so I faxed them to the fax machine in the secretary's office.

- handwriting recognition ensured that the text was legible

- the stylus allowed me to include small thumbnail sketches of each slide

- since I had my own copies of the art history texts, one of which I kept in my locker for class (the other was at home for studying), I also included page references to the textbook

After I graduated, I learned that copies of my notes had been shared amongst everyone in the dorms taking that class and that the average grades since then were markedly higher, and the failure rate greatly diminished --- until the old professor retired (taking with her, her personal slides), and the new professor switched texts.

Using a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+, Kindle Scribe, and Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 these days, since there wasn't a replacement for my Samsung Galaxy Book 12, and I despair of how Microsoft has dumbed-down the stylus since Fall Creators Update: https://github.com/TheJoeFin/Windows10-Community/issues/17 --- in Windows 11 I have to keep the Settings app open so I can toggle the stylus behaviour depending on which application I'm using.

Fortunately, Firefox added a preference for using a stylus as a stylus, not an 11th touch input which actually works:

about:config change: dom.w3c_pointer_events.scroll_by_pen.enabled set it to False.
Not to forget write cycles... Which can be real issue if you actually use system as desktop. In general NVME drives would likely be more reliable in long run.

I really would not enjoy storage being corrupted or dead on this kind of device.
There are phones with 24gb of ram already available!
How is this any different than 25/50/75 years ago? Not much being said here. What has really changed in many wealthy countries: There is less family support because many people live far from their parents. And, proportionally, housing/healthcare/education is more expensive for middle class and below compared to previous generations.
If that's your only nitpick then just look at France that has similar privacy protections, and doesn't collect religious data.
Yes. If they collectively decide stock price matters more than anything else (sustainability, the planet, long term viability of the business), they get it, whatever the short or long term costs.

There was a comparison between Amundi (France based) and BlackRock, and their voting patterns, and BlackRock was consistently voting against any ESG or in any way ecology related proposals. Anything that isn't directly about making more money is just not their thing. Contrast that with Amundi who overwhelmingly voted for ESG or similar measures.

To be clear, there is no issue with them making a DMCA takedown. This should be made to the operator (ie itch.io). They _did not do this_. Instead they complained to the registrar of phishing/fraud. Registrars, not unreasonably, take complaints of fraud seriously, and many will nuke first and answer questions later. However, clearly, no fraud was involved.

(I'm not sure if you're being wilfully obtuse, or if you suffer from the ol' Hackernews "reading the linked material is forbidden" problem, but I just don't see how you can defend the false complaint of fraud.)
Why would it be connected to internet if used as external monitor? Just don't tell it the wi fi password.
16 year old me, back when I was 16, would also have found this amazing. The thing is that today, lots of things cost less than $100 and runs linux. Go on Ebay or Facebook marketplace, and you'll find a near unlimited supply of $100 laptops that will run Linux at least as well as this will, and there you even get a screen. Go to AliExpress and you'll find mini PCs with similar specs to this for around $100, and you'll get an x86 CPU and the option of also running Windows. There is lots of competition in the "costs less than $100 and runs Linux" market, and it is not clear why this is necessarily better.

who cares if it just has micro hdmi ports, no nvme

Clearly lots of people. Choosing to need a special 'weird' cable, that very few people have lying around, to plug it into a monitor or choosing the storage option with the much worse IO performance and reliability just seem like strange choices, given that making the 'right' choice probably wouldn't increase the cost by all that much.
People in the ESG space are stating to notice. Incompetent suits is an even bigger problem though.

big tech is evily smart: since everything is open source, they are still doing vendor lock-in via grotesque and absurd complexity and size, breaking little things here and there, or using unspecified part which is "implementation defined" etc. Not seeing that is borderline blindless than a lack of perspective.

Open source is far from being enough anymore, we (the humanity) need lean open source (including that bloody SDK, which excludes de-facto ultra-complex computer language like c++/rust/java/etc).

There are numerous religions and cultures which practice some level of covering of the face or head. Burkas are only one example.

Not a great reference, but:

"Religious Head Coverings: A Comprehensive Guide"

<https://headcoverings-by-devorah.com/religious-head-covering...>

Wikipedia has a listing as a section of this article:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_headgear#Religious>

(Many of these cover only the top of the head or a part of the head, e.g., yarmulke, fez, kofia. Others are more comprehensive.)

The non-religious and/or cultural coverings might also be of interest.
As a long-time watcher and enjoyer of his presentations, he has a long history of building (often) superior products to the mainstream alternatives, and passionately explaining why they are superior. The alternatives still end up being more popular, and there is no denying that there's sometimes an air of "those fools with their eBPF, while we have dtrace/ZFS/zones/etc" which toes the line of arrogance.

I think it's pretty hard to have a career where you are constantly involved with software that is better technically, and have worse alternatives constantly "winning", and not be a little arrogant sometimes.
