> I understand your first language is German. Figures.

I assume your argument is: “Everyone who had to learn English as a second language is so used to completely random pronunciation that they won’t complain about anything anymore”.
For that matter, what are China's interests regarding Russia/US? It seems like China would lose a lot of money in the event of America taking a major dive, but they could be preparing to make the case that they are a more stable regime with a more stable currency. I feel like that would be aligned with China's interests.
Not bad, but I still have to say that zenhub does it better

Used that at an old job and it was the only project management software I didn't grow to hate. Fast, "built into" GitHub, and adds other value across the site, I miss it now at my current jira gig
Elon Musk is currently using his massive platform to promote neo-Nazis in Germany and far-right political parties throughout Europe. Twitter is a far greater danger to Europe than TikTok is.
Or you fuse potassium atoms into something heavier.
The best solution is to reduce the amount of alloc/free calls in your code, then you can just as well use a slow-and-small allocator like emmalloc since allocator overhead doesn't matter anymore: https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/blob/main/syst...

(e.g. if memory management overhead shows up in the profiler, the proper solution is not to go looking for a faster general-purpose allocator, but to reduce the amount of calls into the allocator)
Yes, but really, not much more than what a cult leader will demand for access.
I would.

To be fair, many forest mammals will try to eat honey (bears and honey badgers being just two well known examples) and those have skins much thicker than even ours, so I suspect that bees have the same issues when stinging them. And those mammals are much more of a threat to a hive than insects and spiders, as they will virtually destroy the entire hive structure if they are not deterred, and likely kill thousands of larvae and bees.

Maybe I should allow YT to save my watch history, then. I have found it frustrating that it refuses to use any of the other indicators (upvotes, downvotes, messages said back and forth, channels I’m subscribed to and their general type of content, etc) to curate my algorithm; but you know.
Same! And I was pleasantly surprised by this working well without any additional parameters.

But I'd also confirm the other comments after going through the steps for shrinking a longer screen recording to <2.5MB with acceptable quality, and cropping some portion of the screen.

I needed a tutorial in addition to the built-in help pages to get it working.

It was a little bit fun almost to try&error my way through combinations of quality and cropping options, but sure, time consuming.

I have to say, I mostly like FFMPEGs approach. Anyone can build anything on top of it, like GUIs.

"Good" defaults can cause an explosion of complexity when providing many different options and allowing all technically feasible combinations.

There's also room for some kind of improved CLI I guess, but many possibilities always mean complex options. So this is probably easier said than done.

It does seem to have pretty good defaults in the MOV MP4 transcoding case.
I still use it, it's the main reason I don't want to switch to Wayland. Everything looks and feels like it did 15 years ago, it's great!

Possibly none. But the logic goes like this - China sees that amplifying positive Palestinian stories serve to destabilize US discourse so they put their thumb on the scale to push those over positive Israeli stories.

And we know this type of thing works because we see it everyday with US internal propaganda. The last thing the US needs is an adversary with a direct line to the US populace controlling what they see. Also, I'm not even talking about misinformation, just pushing what stories are seen and not seen. Once you add in misinformation and bots it's pretty wild how easy it appears to control the population.
Only in as much as it’s slightly harder to write buggy Rust than buggy Python thanks to Rust’s better type safety and concurrency safety features, and there’s less unsafe native code in Rust libs typically. However FOSS Synapse already uses Rust in a bunch of places for hot paths, and will continue to do so. It’s just reducing CPU and elastic scaling for hordes of workers that Syn Pro addresses.

Honestly this was not a question about the US vs. EU more about how one view things that has a global effect on things. Sometimes when I use US services I send some love to the legislative branches in EU, because of the good has been adopted because of it.

My point is that TikTok going dark is a real problem for the US, to solve the issue so heavy handedly is troublesome path to tread. For international relations I am not sure this is for the greater good.
What type of registry? GitHub packages?
What surprised me most is how the community and pro versions use completely different core technologies.

I guess licensing and FOSS don't work together.

But then the pro version doesn't benefit from the open-source scrutiny of the community version, especially in regards to cryptography and security.

What's the reasoning for this technology split?
Well that's good to know, I was unaware.

Can anyone who migrated from Gitea to Forgejo explain the differences in usability? I understand the fork was driven by licensing/project ownership concerns but it's not clear to me from reading the website how different the end product is now. I believe Gitea is still being actively developed.

I host a private Gitea instance (mainly to mirror all my GitHub stuff) so wondering if it is worth migrating.
Doing it with css would only be visual positioning, so would have accessibility issues. Slotted content can have accessibility issues as well, but it is probably more solvable because screen readers will see it “slot in” at the right point in the document.
It's just that German is close enough to Esperanto that I'm personally not particularly interested in what a German speaker thinks about the name. Ask a Mandarin/Japanese/Arabic/Ewe/Telugu/etc. speaker what they think.

(My first language is quite far away from both English and Esperanto, probably should have mentioned that in the original message.)

> >> is an old name for >

I once had a hard to track down bug in some code making use of conduit[0], which is introduced using examples like `main = runConduit $ (yield 1 >> yield 2) .| mapM_C print`.

Dutifully replacing every occurrence of (>>) with (>), because it was more modern, suddenly changed the semantics somewhere, due to the fact that (>>) is defined with fixity `infixl 1 >>` and (>) as `infixl 4 >` - i.e. both are left-associated operators, but (*>) binds tighter than (>>) and some of the myriad of other operators you may encounter.

There is, but then you'd need to declare the entire WASM heap as a single SharedArrayBuffer. It only makes sense for shared-memory multithreading (but not that support for SharedArrayBuffer only works in 'cross-origin isolated' contexts).

There is a related 'multiple memories' proposal btw: https://github.com/WebAssembly/multi-memory
Their own state. This is what people keep missing in discussions about this conflict: you don't get your own state by having the world, or Israel, or the US, or Iran "grant" it to you. You get your own state by building it - having functional institutions, developing an economy, reaching out to build peaceful international relations.

Hamas chose to take all that steel and concrete, donated in the billions by the entire world, and build tunnels and rockets instead of universities and civilian infrastructure.
Ask HN: Is the American System Unraveling?
I've been wondering this question for a while the last couple years but my non-conspiracy side would say that all systems/empires would go through turbulent times.

However, seeing Trump coin yesterday made me question if something is unraveling here. How is this even acceptable? How is this not being debated here in HN (the submissions were not upvoted). There has been a lot of political chaos as of late but I do find this to be a quite huge red-flag. How is this not being opposed by anybody? How is nobody investigating this?
The 'we need training data' merge?
I had the interesting experience of being banned from a Call of Duty 4 server, back when the franchise still had servers.

It happened like this: we were playing the game mode Sabotage, and it went into overtime. When this happens, the game shows the exact location of every player on the map to every other player and prevents respawns until there's nobody left on one team, at which point the other wins. In CoD you can shoot through walls with a damage penalty on your shots depending on how penetrative your weapon is, and I was carrying a heavy semi-auto sniper rifle with a short range scope.

It was down to me and another player. The other player was running up some stairs inside a building, to try to get a more advantageous route to the alley where I was lurking. I popped around the corner with the intent to spam my entire ammo reserve through the wall at him, knowing I could take advantage of a body shot to chase him and probably finish him off. By some combination of map knowledge and sheer luck, my first shot hit him exactly in the head and killed him, while my entire team was spectating me. The game instantly stopped and they couldn't see any evidence I was planning on magdumping through the wall. I was pretty much instantly kicked and banned.

This has given me a lot of empathy for accused cheaters. If you're getting 10,000 kills in a year and the average player can tell whether kills are hacking with 99.9% accuracy, you're going to have 10 "ban-worthy" kills every year. I've got no idea how the numbers shake out for chess, but I would be surprised if there were zero or negligible false positives.
In democracies the power of government and media are supposed to be different branches of the system. When this is violated it's considered a threat to democracy. Like in Italy Berlusconi's media empire, etc.
There were money lenders (argentarii) but they were just individuals setting up stall in the local forum. If you exhausted your credit with one argentarius you just went and found another who didn't talk to the first.

if the law explicitly says bytedance and there is no way for bytedance to avoid it then its a bill of attainder and unconstitutional. presumably, they have worded the law in a way that avoids this for example by letting the president remove bytedance for being in violation if he considers them no longer in violation.
Newspapers are not platforms; they are publications. They have editors who set editorial policy. They are selctive about the content they publish and who writes it. And they are accountable for what gets published.

That's not how it works. It is going the way of Jira. What you mean is if it keeps going that way it will be Jira.

Until we get to the point we can decide things are finished and move on to other problems, everything will turn into Jira eventually. It's like entropy. We have the power to stop it, but it wouldn't guarantee those sweet, sweet growth targets.

[0] has many more details but CentOS was never a drop in replacement and the new CentOS model is a big improvement for anyone wanting drop in replacements.

I remember one of the students in our school replaced the Windows 95 startup logo with the goatse.cx picture of every computer of a new lab, the rector of the moment called an emergency gathering in the gym BEGGING the students to change it back . promising that there would be no repercussions, he was sweating blood, because authorities picked our school to inaugurate the computer national program that made the lab possible, the next day. nobody talked, they had to change the inauguration to another school, fun times.

> That the new Element mobile client only supports Synapse was a huge red flag.

This is not true. Element X requires Matrix 2.0, which is currently only in Synapse because it has to land somewhere first. But Dendrite is implementing it (best effort, thanks to an amazing community contrib) too: https://github.com/element-hq/dendrite/pull/3493 and at conduwuit (one of the conduit forks) is too: https://github.com/girlbossceo/conduwuit/pull/666

There is absolutely nothing trying to lock EX to synapse.

Whilst it was an interesting read, it still doesn't quite state why they believed he was cheating and what methods are taken on deciding that. Without that it is impossible to make conclusions.
I wasn't aware of this proposed preface[0]. It's a great read and is, interestingly, somewhat applicable to the TikTok situation. However, you are incorrect, the preface does not say the book is intended as an attack on the UK, European, or US governments. What it does discuss, is how, primarily, the British intelligentsia resisted the criticism of the USSR in the book because of the wartime alliance between the UK and the USSR. The preface makes it quite clear that Animal Farm is in fact an attack on the USSR specifically.

Archaic banking existed since 4th-3rd millenium BCE. This was surprising to me.

The modern form of banking is rooted in 14th century Italy (Medici and so on) [1].

The editorial lines of Fox News are completely different to CNN and PBS. Different subreddits are completely different. The idea that they're all part of some conspiracy run by the US government is very strange.
You should read the book “LikeWar”. It helps to understand some of the current political landscape.
I hope all other countries ban/block Facebook, Twitter and Microsoft social apps, and throw in Discord as well.

Then, when the civilians are tired of this bullshit and the dust settles, we emerge with truly decentralized social networks.
I evaluated it again a couple of weeks ago and there are basically no differences right now (besides a few cosmetic ones) because the hard fork happened just a few months ago. Stick on 1.22 for the time being, it's the last version from which Forgejo supports in-place upgrades. You'll have to transfer data half-manually or perform deep surgery on the database if you upgrade past 1.22 and then decide to switch forges.

Although the next version of gitea should include support for full mirroring from GitHub (so periodic synchronization of new issues, PRs, etc), not just (code mirroring XOR one-off full copy) like it does right now. This might be of interest to you.

Without wanting to enter into ideological debate too much, it seems a contradiction to invoke such rules when precisely the country we're talking about has boosted their GDP by selling products that capitalized on the effective minimization of borders in the information age.

What I mean is: maybe it's not about protecting "their" humans (from what, exactly?), but protecting "their" corporations. Which is a very different goal.

The ban is not targeted directly at TikTok but at the app stores, which will have to pay a fine of $5000 per user if they keep the app available in the store.

Just my perspective but I think this was also perhaps a product of the time when Red Hat really started growing, back when linux was a little more rough around the edges. These days it seems linux has enough polish that some (many?) corporations are happy to just use off the shelf ubuntu and call it a day and hope nothing breaks too badly.

Technically the BBC is a state broadcasting service subject to King Charles who, AFAIK, nobody voted for.

State run propaganda networks are actually a pretty good source of information; they are well resourced and have a vested interest in being perceived as high-credibility so they can tip the scale on a small number of issues critical to the state. And good propaganda is mostly done by omission and careful fact selection, although a lot of the bit-player dictatorships aren't competent enough to handle good propaganda.
In other words, GitHub introduces "endless discussions if we're going to use subtasks or sub-issues in our WoW"
From CBSNews:

> U.S. officials have repeatedly warned that TikTok threatens national security because the Chinese government could use it as a vehicle to spy on Americans or covertly influence the U.S. public by amplifying or suppressing certain content.

In other words, US officials are scared that China is going to do what the USA has been doing with American social media apps in various countries
I disagree that the way systemd is laid out is better.

With initV, issuing many command in sequence to the same service (enable, then start… stop then start… etc) is much quicker and easier as it’s “up-arrow, control-W, type new command. With the systemd option I either need to navigate one word to the left (or more depending on how the shell is configured wrt word separation) before I replace the command, or I need to delete both the command and the service name, and retype more.

It’s not a huge difference but small downgrades in ergonomics add up over time.
Yet democracy was created in a time without the ability to influence millions of people, in ways that exploit the wiring of our brains, in mere seconds, at once. We cannot pretend that people will act as sovereign entities with the nation's best interests in mind, when they're not making fully informed decisions, but misinformation and propaganda instead.

Giving an enemy a direct medium to feed information to your constituents at will is just a bad move, and no amount of free speech will change that.
In that case, what exactly would happen? Specifically, go into details.

Here's what would happen: Nothing. People already think America is a terrible country to live in. Sure, certain interest groups would be preferred, probably Palestine over Israel. Maybe something instead of Saudi Arabia. But for the average American? Why should they care?
