>Why would I do that?

If you change the spec (e.g. changing the contract on a REST API), you will probably need to consult to make sure it aligns with everybody's expectations. Does the team calling it even have the customer ID you've just decided to require on, say, this new endpoint?

No. I'm assuming here that a code base exists and that you are mostly (if not 100%) familiar with it.

No he is not.
I get up really early and stay on back roads. But for cars, there's a lot you can do in terms of road position and so on. For me, if I feel like I'm approaching a dangerous situation I move into the middle of the road. I also generally ride quite far away from the kerb. A lot of drivers will happily pass you way too close if you give them the opportunity, but there aren't a lot of people who will just drive straight through the back of you if you're in the way.

That leads into riding defensively. I ride with the mindset that everyone is trying to kill both me and themselves. I expect people to pull out in front of me, I expect doors to open etc.

To get a bit more used to being around cars I would recommend getting up early.

But really the main thing is confidence. You have just as much a right to be there as anyone else, and in reality the vast majority of drivers are great. I very rarely have bad experiences with cars. Obviously it takes time to build up confidence, but at the end of the day a confident, assertive rider who signals and manoeuvres well ahead of time is going to be safer than a nervous, skittish rider.
MySQL 5 had bad defaults. Some would probably argue that hooking into sudo rather than a dedicated databaser user amounts to one. MySQL is also perceived by some to be a software for amateurs.

Unless you need the kind of sophisticated extensions Postgres supports MySQL is likely to be a good fit. The query planner is straightforward, performance tuning slightly more predictable and easy compared to Postgres.

This is good news, but I am curious about the Wifi requirement - is the jailbreak web-based? Is Wifi usable afterwards on Mesquito-jailbroken Kindles?

I know on my older jailbroken Kindles, the jailbreak is very fragile and they can no longer be connected to the internet, partly because of Amazon's agressive OTAs and partly because Amazon disables developer mode and hence the jailbreak every time my Kindle 4s touch the internet.

(PS. If anyone can suggest a way to prevent this and secure my jailbreaks, it would be much appreciated - I've tried 3 different OTA blockers and none work reliably)

In the most commonly (almost exclusively, in case of end users) deployed setups (call them NAT Masquerade, NAT Hide, NAT Overload, NAT Many-to-One, PAT, whatever) it does block incoming connections, only allowing replies to internally-originated traffic, and to do that it tracks the state of all traffic.

Three modes are supported: one where the library does no locking and you can only use the library from one thread at a time; one where global structures are locked but not connections so you can use each connection from one thread at a time; and one where everything is locked.

For actual concurrency you probably want one database connection per thread.
You are online way too much. Come see the world say hi to some people. The US isn't a death cult it's just more heavily influenced by propaganda than most smaller countries.
I actually have been speculating since Trump 1 on whether Europe would eventually join the Chinese block.

On the one side, we (now) have Trump both threatening Europe with the potential of an invasion of Groenland, and explicitly telling Russia that it won't intervene if Putin bombs Europe, so if I were a European leader, I'd be looking for allies.

On the other side, we have China and Europe being the two powers who actually pay a little bit more than lip service to long-term thinking, in particular the future of the planet, while Trump is explicitly saying f*ck to the environment.

Yes, there are countless divergences between China and Europe, in addition to competiton. But we've seen stranger bedfellows.

"Germany is a nation-state and always has been"

Do you think the systematic repression of Polish people during the German Empire, which was seen as necessary to achieve the 19th century ideal of a nation-state, was appropriate?

Because you make it sound like Germanisation was a good thing, as otherwise it wouldn't have been a nation-state.

Quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanisation_of_Poles_during_...

> Within Bismarck's Kulturkampf policy, the Poles were purposefully presented as "foes of the empire" (German: Reichsfeinde).[7] Bismarck himself privately believed that the only solution to Polish Question was the extermination of Poles.[8] As the Prussian authorities suppressed Catholic services in Polish by Polish priests, the Poles had to rely on German Catholic priests. Later, in 1885, the Prussian Settlement Commission was set up from the national government's funds with a mission to buy land from Polish owners and distribute it among German colonists.

If that's what needed for a nation-state, I reject it as a worthy goal to achieve or use as a basis for identity, just like I reject my country's racist and expansionist history of exploiting African slaves and Native Americans as being something to re-attain.

(Apropos: "Frederick the Great ... likened the newly conquered West Prussia to a Prussian Canada and its inhabitants (which were German and Polish) to the Iroquois, who he saw as equally uncivilised.")

HN is always a mess when the subject contains Musk, Trump, Google, browsers or social media platforms in general.

I don't mind the slight political aspects of things, but reading a ton of hate and "I already deleted X" (pun intended) and "Just use Y other platform" (that no normal user can figure out) comments is just uninteresting and should stay on Reddit or wherever these nonproductive comments fit into.

I'd love to hear more about this case, the technical aspects and the follow-ups/investigations. Let's focus on that, no? Maybe it's just me.

The logical explanation to me is that most of the Signal contacts shared tend to be for drugs or CSAM trading, so they went for the nuclear approach to make moderation easier.
> it’s hard to see how the Austrian school of economics can continue

It doesn't have to be based in reality. They can just roll out the same argument as "true communism has never been tried", but from the right.

Ultimately Argentina never recovered from the collapse in value of being a food exporter. They're never going to recover until they can sort out the good old balance of payments problem. Doing so is going to be unavoidably uncomfortable as imports get relatively really expensive.
My fear is not that Russia and allies will fight a giant land war with all of Europe. It is that Putin will continue moving his lukachenko and viktor orban pieces and acquire new ones through out Europe that will effectively make Europe reliant on russia and in some ways controlled by Russia. They don’t need to own everything to control everything.
What exactly is it about that article that leads you to label it as politically biased? I see nothing but apparently factual information without any commentary.
it does not need anything other than plausible start and stop conditions to point out how time reversal is implausable, the time reversal idea only works under the implausable condition of only happening in a pefect steady state, no begining no end, just threading a piece of film in backwards, after editing out the set dressers at work
without answering the fundamental question of "how did we get here anyway"
its not a theory, its slight of hand
edit: if it was an educational, thought experiment
and labeled as such fine, sure, but its nothing more than that, :) , but could be less
I don't think there are any "nuclear codes". I think they might have been a thing at some point in history since the idea is so pervasive, but in a crisis you'd not want someone to have to figure out some non-trivial password before MAD doctrine can be applied.

Maybe I'm wrong, I know more about field tactics and guerilla warfare than grand strategy.
The point is that military officers have an obligation to disobey when the situation warrants it.

The current worse state of Iraq ( post Saddam ) is nothing to do with populism - and all to do with foreign inference.

Though I agree with the general point about revolutions - one of the key problems with violent revolutions is quite often the most hardline nutters ( of whatever flavour ) tend to end up in charge as they are the most prepared to be violent.
For the Love of Go (Go 1.24 edition)
Americans vaguely know from war movies that they capitulated to the Nazis and then the US (and the US alone, of course) had to come rescue them, and that they refused to participate in the US's illegal invasion of Iraq in 2003, which then led to a propaganda campaign against France, including Freedom Fries and other nonsense. (France absolutely did partake in the war in Afghanistan, deploying several thousand troops in 2001, so nobody can say they didn't come to aid when requested.)

To add to this, what you're both describing is true of Baleen Whales, which are filter feeders (which includes the Humpback Whale that this story is about, as well as Blue Whales and others).

Even free speech has its limits...for example calling for the extermination of a race.

Correct, most of the time it is, and that is exactly why laws (esp. international ones) exist and Justitia is/should be blind.
When you say "Wikipedia" do you mean the site operators, or the volunteer editors? If there is a factually incorrect statement in the article, instead of complaining about bias you can always edit it or start a section in the Talk page on the article. Be a part of the group and reduce its perceived bias.

The simple existence of a page that documents an event is not evidence of political bias, and that accusation says more about your own biases than it does Wikipedia editors.

Legal (first amendment) free speech certainly allows him to ban whoever he wants.

However, this is the exact behavior from prior owners that he counter-positioned himself against, allegedly pursuing a broader “free speech absolutism.” That philosophy certainly would not permit arbitrary bans of people he doesn’t like.

These mental gymnastics are remarkable to see.
Fwiw, several stories here on HN about remarkable, so a search is probably worth doing if you've not read those other stories yet.
It's existence.

Things that are missing in most other proper databases, like transactional DDL. If you don't mind not having them, Mysql is fine. It's probably better than Postgres for mostly read databases, which is most uses. There was a time when Mysql was by far the most used but over the years it's growth has been fairly slow and Postgres has kept growing in use, mainly due to functionality and integrity.

People say 'Facebook uses Mysql', but if a page fails, you just refresh. Most of the time the page is different so if everything is broken in the back end no one cares. Same with ad tracking (I have written code to check impressions via second sources).

If I refresh my bank balance I want to see the same. That's why they use Posgtges (yes the bank I worked on), or some commercial thing like SQLServer or Oracle, where integritry is more highly important.
> but the fact that this became a mandatory part of authenticating credit card purchases is so invasive and provides practicaly no real security

This is insurance against fraud where the card number is stolen and goods are ordered to a location other than the cardholder address. Which the merchant doesn't want to be liable for. So most places will only ship high value goods (sometimes any goods) to the cardholder address.

The real security is now "enhanced verification", i.e. some sort of second factor and/or password in addition to the card. But this is much more annoying to use.
> "The really sad thing about IPv6 is that it's a relic of a bygone era."

Yes, and not only for the NAT reason you say; see "The world in which IPv6 was a good deisgn" by Apenwarr, from 2017: https://apenwarr.ca/log/20170810
Your idea also gives servers no incentive to convert, and if they do convert they become less reliable for anyone on IPv4.
They'll transition to be an even bigger bully.
I use zfs snapshots, they work in diffs so they're very cheap to store, create, and replicate.
It actually depends on what flags you pass to clang, and for a good reason. 3 term lea uses "complex decoding" and thus has higher latency (and less possible execution ports) on intel arches before icelake. If you run clang -O2 -mtune=icelake-client or -mtune=znver3 (or later architectures) it will generate the single lea instruction.

As always in optimization choices it comes down to cost modelling and trade-offs.
I mean, it's terrifying _if anyone actually uses this thing_. It's not particularly clear why anyone would, though.

GDPR is about collecting personally identifiable information, which is distinct from aggregate data that you can't trace back to the individua. Recital 26:

> The principles of data protection should therefore not apply to anonymous information, namely information which does not relate to an identified or identifiable natural person or to personal data rendered anonymous in such a manner that the data subject is not or no longer identifiable.

So details definitely matter. Some self-hosted analytics do this by getting rid of the last octet of the IP address, though I doubt that's been tested in courts.
> The "living constitution" angle doesn't get you anywhere.

Says who? The Constitution is in essence the basic operating manual for American national government. Conditions on the ground have changed — and we've learned more about the world — since 1787. It'd be unpragmatic (read: insane) to insist that the original modus operandi MUST stay the same forever and ever, just because that's how they did things in 1787, as long as the new M.O. can fairly be said not to be inconsistent with the constitutional text.

It doesn't help your case that Article V provides an amendment process: Nothing in the Constitution prohibits reinterpreting the existing language to accommodate new evidence and new insights, at least not as long as the reinterpretation doesn't do violence to the text.

"The executive power" in Article II is just as open to interpretation as anything. Interpreting that power as being subject to Congress's Article I authority is clearly well within the hash marks, to say nothing of the playing field as a whole.

Article I can fairly be read as allowing Congress to expand, and/or to cabin, presidential authority. That includes creating, and delegating power to, administrative agencies under general presidential supervision; that could include delegating expansive powers to agencies and perhaps limiting the president's ability to hire and fire agency personnel.

The "unitary executive" interpretation — with a president asserting the right to unilaterally disregard or revoke congressionally-enacted arrangements — is dangerous in the extreme. We've seen that in other countries, and we could well see the same thing happen here.

Decades ago, the head of the Reactor Department on my ship [the USS Enterprise] had a list on the office wall of Great Naval Quotes that we were forbidden to use. The #1 prohibited quote on that list was, "But we've always done it that way!" followed by #2, "But we've never done it that way!" Both of those are violated by using a bibliolatry-based approach to the Constitution as a purported justification for unilaterally up-ending longstanding practices — especially when, on the whole, those practices have worked passably well.

==========

> that just makes it more exigent to "pragmatically reinterpret" the law to ensure effective presidential control over the administrative state

That's clearly one of your ideological priors, but it wasn't handed down from Mount Sinai on stone tablets.
The parent post is by and large correct, except for the right-hand man of Donald Trump stuff. Musk was indeed trying to buy influence, which is definitely not a "5D chess move" but simply common sense for extremely wealthy people if they can get away with it. He also wanted to ensure that he is always the center of attention and intended to use twitter as the marketing arm for his brand. He only wanted to back out once US and global economic indicators started going south and made his offer look ridiculously overpriced, and also made himself look like a sucker. And Musk does not like being the sucker. But his wanting to back out later doesn't cancel out his initial intentions. And once he was forced to buy it, he started playing high stakes poker and managed to turn it into a great investment for him personally by the end of 2024, becoming one of the most powerful men in the world in addition to being the richest. How long it will last might depend on how many consecutive presidential terms the Republicans can hold on to.

The righthand man for Trump stuff was never the intention initially. Musk went gaga for Trump rather late, he was a DeSantis supporter after all, with DeSantis launching his terrible presidential bid on Elon's twitter.
> these headlines and threads look like fud and overreaction from particular groups

No they don't. If they look like FUD or overreaction to you, that may be because sites like this have been suppressing discussion, leaving you lacking vital context.

Feel free to prove me wrong with specifics though, if you like.

> all in a very recognizable format

No they aren't. Those stories are from a wide variety of media, most of it well established (for what that's worth).

Again - if you can say what that 'recognizable format' is instead of being vague than I'll concede the point.

> Adding tax conspiracy on top of it doesn’t make it look better.

It's technically a conspiracy, yes - but it's not a theory. It's their stated goal [0, 1], from before the election [2].

And that money is coming from the middle class and the poor; from massive cuts to Medicaid and social services, and all sorts of lifeline programs.

You ought to know this stuff; it's important. Trivializing it as 'conspiracy' is harmful. This all very much affects the tech and entrepreneur community, as we have been complicit in it for one thing and are best placed to understand it for another. And we're going to be scapegoated when shit continues to hit the fan, harder and harder.

A government might want to do it for good motives, but its still a restriction on free speech.

Otherwise you are appointing some group of people to decide what is "good speech" and "bad speech" and banning the latter.
No electoral mandate can make illegal actions legal, or abrogate the law. The refusal of the congressional majority to enforce their authority under article 1 is what is causing this constitutional crisis.

(Also, Trump did not run on these policies -- he's implementing policies he explicitly repudiated when he lied about not being affiliated with the Project 2025 manifesto.)

I don't want to let the voters off the hook, but continuous, ongoing responsibility for this unfolding economic and political disaster lies with the people who hold institutional authority, and are refusing to use it to comply with the law as it stands.
