That's the crux of the argument. I don't need any further evidence.
That's exactly what they do. It just takes a while since there's tens of thousands of feet of drillstring.

Eh, east germany regularly reappears as a unrelenting prussian reencarnation every election. That cultural divide is realkly deep.
What I am missing, and would buy as an app, is the ability to code on an Android tablet with pen.

Regardless of the programming language, writing code as I do on paper, with the difference it is straight into the editor window.

No side panel, where I have to write one word after the other with pauses and correction, or that some apps (looking at you Pydroid) for whatever reason disable.

Straight like Apple's math demo, to make it more precise.

This is the kind of stuff I would like AI algorithms to improve, instead of taking people's work away.
You can pin actions to a git sha to prevent this but people generally do not. Action authors would prefer their updates be picked up automatically.
Well that sucks.

I've met that an instance of that kind of 10x:er (well, 5x:er, in this case). He defaulted to dismissing everyone until they had proven themselves.

I don't think there is much you can do to "improve him".
Getting precise timings out of RS-232 output
I think what they said is not technically wrong (excluding the "happens to be good for al of us part"). What is good for the health of the web really is good for Google, since they need the web to be sustainable.

But, the problem is the opposite is not true. What is good for Google is often bad for the web as a whole. The only reason it "Works" is because of their dominance.
> it's said to comfort the one saying it

True.

Such utterances are offensive. But what of it?

My culture (WASP in USA) sucks when it comes to death and grieving. Denial of Death, Why Bad Things Happen to Good People, blah blah blah.

The only advice that's helped me cope with other people is "It's not about you."

When someone tells me "They're in a better place" (or whatever), I just try to remember your point: they're trying to comfort themselves, process their own experience.
I'm trying to remember the bird that stands guard for another species, and mimics their alarm calls on seeing predators, but when hungry throws in an occasional lie so that they drop their food and run. Something African I think.

Librewolf Lite / Light REALLY should be a release too. Less aggressive, more friendly to people who are moving towards a more secure experience. E.G. let session managers work properly, allow that 10 year old password database in the browser to be used during the 30 year transition* (I exaggerate, but until there's a bulk import tool to MIGRATE) to a stronger password manager. Generally don't enable the tiny fingerprint gains (~1/20th of world population, but they can already fingerprint that from the IP you're using and/or ping ANYWAY, so just leave the damned time zone on!) which have a huge trade off in annoyance for the end user.

Yes, I want a 'de enshitified' version of Firefox. Not a browser for someone trying to write impactful news stories who needs to follow a strong opsec.
High lunar orbits is unstable because of Earth influence (i. e. long-term orbiting requires lots of fuel for extensive orbit maintenance). Most low orbits are unstable as well because of uneven mass distribution, but there are some exceptions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frozen_orbit Low orbits would also require either more satellites for complete coverage or synchronizing launch window, which is PITA enough as it is now.
“Almost” is key there.

I am also not an immigration lawyer. In Maslenjak v. United States (https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/16pdf/16-309_h31i.pdf), eight justices disagreed with the expansive interpretation of the statute you describe. From the majority opinion, "The statute Congress passed, most naturally read, strips a person of citizenship not when she committed any illegal act during the naturalization process, but only when that act played some role in her naturalization." and "Suppose that an applicant for citizenship fills out the paperwork in a government office with a knife tucked away in her handbag. She has violated the law against possessing a weapon in a federal building, and she has done so in the course of procuring citizenship, but nobody would say she has “procure[d]” her citizenship “contrary to law.” That is because the violation of law and the acquisition of citizenship in that example are merely coincidental: The one has no causal relation to the other."
Depending on your use case, Librem 5 may be more capable, since it runs full desktop OS, so you can run the same apps as on desktop, connect via ssh, install things with apt, use it in desktop mode, easier develop new apps etc.

I’m not sure I can recommend Qubes entirely due to the usability aspect.

I’ve used Qubes several times for a week at a time over the last few years. It’s gotten better, but they really need someone to look at the user experience of it all for it to be a compelling option.

I’m regularly questioning myself if what I’m doing is making it less secure because I don’t understand exactly everything Qubes is doing. I know how all the pieces work individually (Xen, etc).

Outside of configuration, I believe I’d have to ditch any hope of running 3D-anything with any expectation of performance. That’s simply a non-starter as someone who has written off “nation-state actor targeting me, specifically” as something I can defend against.

And lastly, I’m deeply skeptical of anything that loudly wears the Snowden-badge-of-approval as that seems to follow grifts.

My main workstation is a Mac and I’m doing this on Parallels. Would Qubes probably be more secure? Maybe. But it comes at a massive usability hit.
>If the military refuses an elected president's order to invade is it still a democracy?

Yes, because the military can't follow an illegal order, which is what a declaration of war without the approval of Congress would be. The military also can't spend money Congress hasn't authorized, even if the president tells them to.
Thank you for the detailed answer. I figured there was something wrong with the idea but didn’t know enough about the subject to understand why.
So offended that Steak N Shake has order screens instead of servers these days and they still expect a similar tip before service is even rendered.

Visited Namecheap and currently registration is $10 (normal being $15) and renewal is $17 (wtf). The $6.5 is a promotional offer for one single registration. Porkbun is $11 all. So, yes, you get first year cheaper, but by third year Porkbun will be 3/4 the costs.
JPEG is good for when you want a picture to look reasonably good while throwing away ~90-95% of the data. In fact, there's a relatively new JPEG variant that lets you get even better psychovisual fidelity for the same compression level by just doing JPEG in the XYB color space, xybjpeg. JPEG is also a very simple algorithm, when compared to the ones that'd be noticeably better near 99% compression.

To beat blockiness/banding across very gradually varying color gradients (think eg the gradient of a blue sky), JPEG XL has to whip out a lot of tricks, like handling sub-LF DCT coefficients between blocks, heterogeneous block sizes, deblocking filters for smoothing, and heterogeneous quantization maps.

BTW, one of the ways different camera manufacturers aimed to position themselves as having cameras that generated the best pictures was by using custom proprietary quantization tables to optimize for psychovisual quality.

Zen has quite a nice array of keybinds available in their basic settings menu.

That’s a workaround, that’s not a solution.

That is a solution for 2005 when the iPod wasn’t an internet connected device. In 2025 when devices are connected, performing network backups is overwhelmingly the correct answer.
I remember tuning in to the first episode on BBC Radio 4, having heard about it the previous evening. It was so absolutely tuned into my way of thinking it could have been written just for me. Even now, as they say, the pictures are better on radio. Other adaptations have always disappointed me, apart from the subsequent books, for the same reason.

Douglas Adams was a great loss when he died, but what we had from him was the best.
Ironic. ChatGPT could have easily improved it:

This lawsuit has always been driven by Elon’s personal and financial interests in advancing his for-profit AI company. As his own emails confirm, he sought to merge a for-profit OpenAI into Tesla under his control. When we declined, he left, unable to take command. Now, after witnessing our progress without him, he has resorted to meritless litigation while simultaneously attempting to replicate our advancements through his own multi-billion-dollar, for-profit enterprise.

Last week, the court denied Elon’s request for a preliminary injunction, determining that he had not “demonstrated a likelihood of success on the merits.” Beyond that, the court went even further by dismissing several of his claims outright. This ruling is a significant step toward putting this baseless lawsuit behind us.

As Elon is learning, facts matter—especially in court. One fact he continues to misrepresent is the status of our non-profit. Contrary to his claims, there is no “conversion” of the non-profit underway.

We welcome the opportunity to make this clear in court: (1) the non-profit remains a central pillar of our mission, and (2) we are committed to ensuring it is not only supported by a successful business but also in a stronger position than ever before. For years, we have operated with for-profit subsidiaries, and any structural adjustments will be designed to enhance, not undermine, the non-profit’s ability to fulfill its mission.

Our Board has been unequivocal in its commitment to strengthening the non-profit for the long term. We are not selling it—we are reinforcing it. The non-profit will retain a significant stake in our proposed public-benefit corporation, making it one of the most well-funded non-profits in history.

In one respect, Elon was right: in 2017, he recognized that OpenAI’s structure needed to evolve. He was also correct in establishing xAI as a public-benefit corporation. However, he is entirely wrong in pursuing this lawsuit, which is both legally baseless and transparently self-serving. The court has already seen through this effort, and we are confident it will continue to do so.

Show HN: A personal YouTube frontend based on yt-dlp
I found that page, but it is labelled as editorial guidelines and not an editorial article, which is what I was expecting to find from the previous description. From my reading then, what is being labelled here as "forbidden territory" is this:

"Non-maleficence and beneficence are two fundamental principles in research ethics requiring the maximization of benefits and minimization of potential harms. These principles form a core part of general frameworks for the ethical conduct of research across the sciences and humanities (for example, The World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki; The Belmont Report; the International Ethical Guidelines for Health-related Research Involving Humans; Ethics in Social Science and Humanities)."

Which I see as more along the lines of the Hippocratic Oath rather than totalitarian thought crime. If this self-described neophyte didn't understand the risks for harm created by his research, that's his fault and not that of the PhD programs.

> Graph databases are a hard problem, so the solutions are never going to be as nice as key-value with an index.

The key question is do you even need to use a graph database, and for almost everyone not being a social network or other multibillion user count service, the answer is a clear "no, postgres/mysql (depending on familiarity and pain tolerance) is more than enough".

Unfortunately, many developers and even more architects are following "resume driven development" instead of going for something old and tested...

Conditions for admissibility are one thing, and you can be denied entry for any thought crime that the government wants to impose.

Once you are in, you have the same rights to free speech as any citizen, and the same rights to due process as well. In fact, the only thing they can do to curb your free speech is prove in court that you lied on your application. Which is likely how this case will play out after judges rule on how illegal their attempted action is, but as of yet the government has not provided any evidence of him lying on his application.
These numbers don't remotely pass a smell test. The same study claims 2% of Americans have been injured in a mass shooting, and cites 500 mass shootings a year.

2% of 340mm = 6.8mm injured in a mass shooting
Conservatively assuming that's equally spread across all ages, and assuming a lifetime of 80 years, implies 6.8mm/80 = 85,000 people injured a year
85,000/500 mass shootings a year = 170 people injured per shooting

This is absurdly high - the Pulse nightclub shooting for instance injured 60 people.

It's obviously harder to analyze the number of people that 'witness' a shooting, but it also seems implausible that an average of ~595 people are witnessing each of these 500 shootings.

The problem here is that self-reported studies like this are incredibly unreliable. Interestingly, the same effect appeared in a pro-gun study, which cited an insane 2+ million defensive gun uses a year.

People live in the West Bank. If you take control of the area for 58 years you need to give them some rights and either make them citizens or give them independence. Neither thing happened, and the reality is that they live in an apartheid system, with different laws than other Israelis living in the same area. Israel might be a democracy but Palestinians are not citizens of Israel.

It’s the same as saying you can only work out how fast something is moving in relation to something else. Your car is doing 50mph on the highway, but the earth is spinning round the sun and the sun is moving around the centre of the galaxy and the galaxy is moving compared to other galaxies and so on.

The US? I'm pretty sure it was the British, Spanish, and other European colonizers who killed off most indigenous New World inhabitants long before the USA even existed. And although that genocide involved a significant amount of violence (some perpetrated by the US government in the later stages), most of the deaths were caused by the inadvertent spread of infectious diseases.
> China is our better bet in this coming disaster.

The US values democracy and free speech more than any other country. The EU only somewhat shares these values, which we can see from the normalization of censorship in its regulations, frequent calls to ban political parties, and the cancellation of election results in Romania. Europe has a vast history of expansionism, which we saw in brutal colonization across Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Greenland itself is a result of expansionism.

China is also a country that is pro censorship and doesn’t value democracy. It annexed Tibet and Xinjiang and will do the same to Taiwan. The CCP has caused tens of millions in deaths, not just in the annexed areas but even among its own people.

I can see Europeans practicing some of those same authoritarian tactics China does. So maybe I shouldn’t be surprised at this statement of viewing China as a better partner. But it still seems odd to see people here admitting that they prefer an authoritarian dictatorship as their friend. In my opinion it says more about Europe than America.
The Ultimate Guide to Scaling Sidekiq
I realize no set of facts will change your mind. The difference between the classified documents cases has been pointed out several times in this thread, yet you continue to point to that as some kind of evidence of equivalence. If you don't want to acknowledge the difference between owning up to a fuckup and intentionally obstructing an investigation to try and cover up your misdeeds, there’s nothing more to be said about that.

If you consider Biden pardoning his son so egregious, I think you’d agree the pardons of the thousand defendants of the violent riot on January 6 would be even more disgraceful? If your cherry picked metric for a good president is “didn’t start a war”, I’ll counter with “didn’t encourage riots to obstruct the peaceful transition of power, then pardon all those involved to intimidate anyone who dares challenge him”

It’s pretty clear to me the only person who Trump cares about is Trump. I don’t understand why anyone would defend a person with such obvious disdain and lack of empathy for people, so I’ll just leave it at that. Enjoy the carnage that Trump leaves behind for the rest of us to pick up and rebuild.
