I would think that the post you respond to either supposes a hosted service (you do not control the server and its iptables) or that it multiple layers of protection is good for something critical. But yes, if it's your own server, eve

Yeah, and X resources let us Linux nerds choose freely as well. This is what we get now that every application ships its own implementation of everything, including GUI toolkit.

For those last ones, try to figure out if there are a few systems that they commonly use and make integrations with those and be able to provide some kind of answer to interesting queries. It's great that you have a general solution, b

Could be nice to version control them. Some CLI stuff looks cool on a blog, but do you want to remember what commands you typed, and in what order, to bring up what production looked like two weeks ago manually?

I don't see it as a problem that this will likely just work for, and thus correctly target, "easy" problems. Nobody looking at this blog post should think "hmm, sober of this lets me implement an autonomous vehicle in a

Is there a HN approved way of doing this? I recall there being various solutions that cleaned older versions of Windows, but perhaps did so a bit too aggressively (disabling services left and right in the XP era), so experts recommended aga

Cool! I would love to play this natively on Linux. I would also really like to easily read somewhere, website or github, what the status of the project is. Is Diablo II (with or without LoD) entirely playable? Do they actually also target o

It absolutely must be, because they have even vegan options here and there. Sweden, for instance, has had vegan burgers for several years (first McBean and now McVegan). I know other countries have something similar. It seems to me that US

Well, the Dockerfile says exactly how to start the software and how to install all the packages etc. locally, so why not use that? :)

If by "compromised already at step zero" you mean "just the way computers worked for decades prior to secure boot", then yeah, I suppose. The issue that I have heard people bring up is that it could potentially make it h

Completely field dependent. What is your field?

Not at HN, where this is discussed, and also not considering that the article being discussed is hosted on a github page.

I've seen these in Sweden. I think they are bad, because they say nothing about what the service does. They are all very vague and require you to know what the heck they are talking about like "Tired of being tracked online? We c

Not a comment on the specific repo in question, but I just want to note that I have seen utter monstrosities of academic code written in Python, MATLAB, and R - languages that are ostensibly "easier" than C++. I so not think that

Well, if I am employed in one state, that means I am unemployed in almost 49 others, doesn't it? Time to fill out some paperwork! For certain things, this perhaps one of them, there are benefits if handled on a federal level with more

That typically means grandma lives with your family in her old age, rather then by herself or in some old folks home.

In Zoom, it's just a matter if putting it on mute and holding down Space bar to temporarily unmute. Very handy.

But existing Bitcoin still have the same value? Does this mean the end of businesses that seemed to exist only to mine using custom computers and GPUs? Because their revenue stream has been cut in half?

by llarsson 6y ago
What does that mean in even plainer English? Is Bitcoin now half as valuable? Did mining it get easier/harder? Less profitable to mine, but existing Bitcoins still have same value as before?

Not just that. Add this to you inputrc: "\e[A": history-search-backward "\e[B": history-search-forward Now up and down arrows will search your history with whatever you already have typed at the prompt. Re-running a comm

I may have interpreted the post I responded to incorrectly to be in the context of Swedish numbers, since Sweden was mentioned in the sentence prior to the number that was cited. I have updated my response accordingly.
233.
by llarsson 6y ago
If you mean in the context of Swedish deaths, those are 2,900 or so deaths, not 0.1 million. Edit: I interpreted the number to be in the context of Sweden, as it was mentioned just in the sentence prior. Reply updated to make that clear.

Yes. HTTP POST (new objects) is immediate, HTTP PUT (updates to objects) is eventually consistent. If you want to use this to create new objects all the time, rather than update ones you already have, you now have to keep track of which obj

uBlock Origin offers just that. I am sure you are aware, but perhaps others reading your comment and agreeing with it might not be. It is great for mobile (Firefox), because you can set the "large media element" threshold to somet

And if you went with reserved instances, what does it come out to? I guess that it is fair to assume that you will need at least this level of compute power for at least a year, right?

Oh, sure, but when they think they have written something to S3 and got a successful HTTP response back from the API, perhaps they want to be able to tell clients to go fetch the new data from the bucket. But those clients may not get the n

by llarsson 6y ago
That S3 is eventually consistent with object updates (HTTP PUT) might also screw up things for a company whose core value is synchronized storage.

Wonderful to hear that it is now a native application in macOS that does not require XQuartz! Perhaps related: Inkscape has always felt quite laggy for me, even with my extremely basic needs. I pretty much just make text in boxes and connec
