I'd hope any reasonable senior programmer has hit enough landmines to understand why such a fence is necessary. Especially for legacy code.

There were only 6000 troops left in Afghanistan, actually much less than that, when the date got there. It’s like, hey, let’s leave at the last minute with a skeleton crew and see if that isn’t chaotic. Trump wasn’t an idiot, he knew the position he was handing off to Biden. Biden had two choices, a chaotic withdrawal, or put more troops in for a secure one, but that went against what Trump agreed to with the taliban (so not really a choice). You know who the POS is in this story right?

You don’t withdraw the bulk of an army, leave a token force in place, and expect that to go well. You just don’t do that, and Trump the very stable genius he is, did. And it worked out well politically for him, so I guess it was smart.

The radar on ships is designed to detect weather, not vessels. The aircraft carriers had AIS turned off, which is the naval transponder system that would have alerted other vessels to their presence. This is similar to the helicopter crash over the Potomac, where the helicopter's transponder was turned off.

It is crucial that military vessels power off their transponders when performing covert operations, but it's even more critical to have them on, when performing normal maneuvers through high-traffic areas, and there seems to be a spate of that not happening.

English speakers keep pinning the blame solely on Russia. Russia has some degree of influence and that's undeniable. But the word of mouth bizarre chatter online and in real life is very organic. Until people accept that their own culture has problems, nothing will change. Pinning the blame on some other culture that they don't like and blaming them for everything has a long history but it never fixes the problem.

Go to some bars or even random discord servers and you'll quickly find that it's not Russians trying to proselytize everyone with their political beliefs. They're actual people.

And I'm not only talking about the right wing stuff that Russia does promote. There are bizarre political brainworms leaking out of America in many political directions.

I love tools like this. A boring, low-maintenance swiss-army knife that improves quality-of-life for self-hosters is something of a gap, as far as I know. Sort of like GoAccess, except instead of for logs, it's for a status page.

Nice work!

https://www.mollet.de/info/schuettdichte-und-schuettgewicht....

iron and steel chips still are about 2 kg/l

aluminum is 200g / l

so one 55gal trash bin is still about 40 something kg, four dozen.

so for aluminum and aluminum only it may be multiple trash bins
Yeah, *whatabout* the other guys - they did this too!
Shavings are way less dense than solid blocks of metal.
In this moment many people dislike Elon. But history will give a clearer picture of whether their dislike was for legitimate reasons (like the alleged 'state capture'), or less legitimate reasons (like the recent US election outcome, or clickbaity news stories).

History is not always that esoteric. Everyone said Iraq was about oil and would be a disaster. That’s exactly what it was. In fact, people were saying it before it happened, as it happened, and after it happened.

Again, Trump left Biden with a token force, there was no way that was going to work out for him, you just can’t drop more troops in when the security situations degrades but you are leaving. And Trump didn’t care about those soldiers deaths, his disdain for the military is well documented, this was a political win for him, it makes sense why he invited the taliban to 9/11 remembrance ceremony. The guy is just the worst kind of life form.
Probably a few reasons. For Darwin, there are a few small projects but I think they are all functionally dead. The benefit with Linux, or even the BSDs here is, sure you gotta port to the hardware, but you should get a good set of user land stuff running for 'free' after that. Lots of programs just need to be compiled to target arm64 and they will at the very minimum function a little bit. Then you can have package maintainers help improve that. I don't think any of the open source Darwin based projects got far enough to build anything in user land. So you'd probably just get the Darwin code from Apple, figure out how to build it and then build everything else on top of it.

The BSDs. You can fork a BSD. Maybe he could try to mainline into the BSD, but would probably face a similar battle with the BSDs. Right, one again, the benefit mainlining into linux, and there is some (maybe limited) support to include Rust, is you can narrow your scope. You don't need to worry as much about some things because they will just sorta work, I am thinking like upper layers of the kernel. You have a CPU scheduler and some subsystems that, may not be as optimized for the hardware, but at least it is something and you can focus on other things before coming around to the CPU scheduler. You can fork a BSD, but most would probably consider it a hard fork. I also don't think any of the BSDs have developers who are that interested in brining in Rust. Some people have mentioned it, but as far as I know, nothing is in the works to mainline any kind of Rust support in the BSD kernels. So he would probably meet similar resistance if he tried to work with FreeBSD. OpenBSD isn't really open to Rust at all.

An alternative headline might be, "Hoes grow wary of pimpmobile's 'privacy' mode -- Pimp adds Military Grade Encryption(tm) to reassure bitches that 'nah baby, I really love you'"

About the latter, obviously. You can't just test it as in physics, so that's all you can have. The proper question (I guess) is, is that knowledge completely useless or may it help with something down the line.
The problem is that they might want their drivers to actually work on people's existing Linux systems without having to force them to use a forked kernel.

You're mentioning the densities for solid bulk materials. I'd expect shavings to be quite loose and trap a lot of air. Depending on the exact type and shape of the shavings, I can imagine a huge volume increase compared to the bulk material.
Because you didn’t have the troops to secure it. Isn’t t obvious? You don’t have the troops to secure your own base, and you have to rely on the party Trump made his deal with that was binding to Biden. It was lose lose for Biden and win win for trump.

>But could massive institutions be reformed continuously by fixing every problem carefully à la Chesterton's Fence ? I think not:

I do think so. But we need proper leaders voted in first. We've been quite horrible at that, to be frank. But I guess it represents us: a political gridlock too busy fighting each other (often o petty issues) to proper come together and identify what's actually wrong in our lives.

> See Europe's fossilization, accelerated by the fact that we have put an administration of bureaucrats over countries to add one layer of rules

you mean the institution where a bad fall doesn't put you in debt? That mandate 30 days vacation a year? that doesn't just roll over and let technocrats steal and sell your data without consent?

Yea, caring for one another is such a fossilized concept.

>I'd love a DOGE in Eurppe because our administrations can only be cut brutally, like the Gordian knot. That may destroy some good things, but I'll happily pay that to get rid of the bad things.

I'll put this in your language: you're esssentially trying to make a proposal to a business to shut down its main product while your engineering team takes time to make a new, efficient product that guarantees a 10x ROI.

Now, maybe there's a chance you're right. But there's no way in high hell any business would ever agree to that. You may be willing to pay, but you're not the only one paying. That reboot will lose shareholder value, piss off and permanently turn off customers, and may even make you vulnerable to security breaches. It makes no sense.

Meanwhile, we can simply revisit our lovely fence and start things off the right way. You can make your own module and show how efficient it is before deprecating the old one. and you repeat that until you fully optimized the legacy code. There was no shutdown, you worked incrementally to prove your changes worked, and satisfied customers along the way. That's all I'm suggesting for such an "efficiency" process here.

i just don't understand the point of revealing a weakness by exploiting it unnecessarily like this

The final 2500 were pulled out of Bagram by Biden.

THEN the evacuation was done by 500 troops at the local airfield by flying in.

If you knew it would collapse, why not fly everyone out when the 2500 troops were there and the airbase was still functional.

They even acted like they trusted the Afghan government for the 1 week it was still there.

It's not about losing or winning. Biden got 300 people killed.
It's easy to judge whether reducing government waste and improving living standards is good/bad (obviously it's good). What will be less enduring is the current Elon-hate which is more based on tribalism and mood than reason.

It’s situations like this that make me believe that software should only qualify for copyright protection if its source code is published. We do this with patents precisely so that inventions don’t disappear when their creators do. Why don’t we do this with software too?

Beyond your current self you have room to craft the even greater art-work you aspire to become. The creative effort ideally captures the emotions and experiences.

You are your own composition.

Arguably, judging you should be a privilege reserved for people who know you.

What happened here? Years ago Linus was talking about how he thought positively about Rust in the Kernel in the future if the kinks could be worked out. Now a group of people have built out a set of drivers which are working great, well tested and integrated, and one maintainer has decided they just don't want to merge it so the whole project is indefinitely stalled.

I'd be pretty upset if I was working on Asahi since the Linux project has basically bait and switched them after an enormous amount of work has been invested.
Show HN: Time based tokens for confirming video authenticity
I made a tool that allows anyone to confirm if a video I am in is authentic or not.

The basic idea is that I read out a token when the video is recorded and then anyone can verify it by checking online. It's obviously redundant if I am sharing a video through my own channel but I think it could be interesting for celebrities and politicians that are often recorded by other people.
This is an act of war, right? Or are we just going to let Russia get away with it again?
Of course, I can’t disagree - that’s all true. But this hasn’t happened yet, so rather than panicking (which, surely, doesn’t help, unless I’m missing something, e.g. if it, say, helps to spread more awareness?), it’s probably best to see what can be realistically done about it, try to do our part, and hope that it will be sufficient. At least I’m not aware about any better alternative.
Concurrency Testing Using Custom Linux Schedulers [video]
The editor behaves weirdly when I try to add comments.

It's hard to explain, but you can reproduce like this:

1. Write several lines, for example:

select i.*, s.*
from interviews i
join suspects s
on s.id = i.suspect_id

2. Try to comment each line on its own by typing -- in front of each line.

-- select i.*, s.*
from interviews i
join suspects s
on s.id = i.suspect_id

-- select i.*, s.*
-- from interviews i
join suspects s
on s.id = i.suspect_id

3. As soon as you do it for "from interviews i", that line will move itself to the previous line, and the syntax highlighting will be broken

> Trump. There was no Trump-Russia conspiracy, it was a witch hunt.

We know today that the 2016 Trump Campaign:

- Had over 100 meetings with Russian officials, lied and said they had 0

- Amplified information hacked by Russia, implored for more publicly

- Met with Russian spy at Trump's home to discuss relaxed relations in return for dirt on Clinton, later lied about the existence of that meeting

- Shared internal campaign polling data with a Russian intel officer.

These facts are not in dispute by anyone, and are presented in the Mueller Report, and the Senate Intel Committee Report on Russian Active Measures. From Wikipedia:

The Senate Intelligence Committee assessed that Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort's "high-level access and willingness to share information with individuals closely affiliated with the Russian intelligence services" was a "grave counterintelligence threat".[50] The foremost individual was Manafort's employee Konstantin Kilimnik, a Russian.[50] The committee identified Kilimnik as a "Russian intelligence officer"; describing that Manafort and Kilimnik had a "close and lasting relationship" even through the 2016 election.[53] Manafort repeatedly tried to "secretly share internal Campaign information with Kilimnik", including "sensitive internal polling data or Campaign strategy".[53]
