Seems to me more like they've deployed some default WAF in front of their web properties, without considering the specific needs for the CRL endpoints.

The article’s example of “mis(c)e(l)lany” is one example that stood out to me like this - perhaps in some dialects it’s pronounced with a single S sound, but it’s definitely two for me. (And on the flip side, I wouldn’t retain the second I in “suficient”.)

I feel like it’d make for a great interface for a physical controller for smart lights/speakers. I’ve got a Hue Tap Dial with a physically spinning wheel, but the click wheel would be great instead.

I’m half tempted to buy an old iPod and attempt to hack something together…

Sounds like you're rate limited; working for me.

It's credited at the end as being a repost of the article from The Sentinel, so at the very least, the link should be updated.

YYMMDD is standard(ish) ISO 8601 - the new versions of the spec require a 4 digit year but older ones allowed it, and ISO 8601 is also commonly used in manufacturing.

The CLI tools for automation are still a pain to use and missing functionality, which also means LLMs use it less; Claude gives up when it sees Chrome isn’t installed unless I specifically tell it to try and use Firefox.

I created an automation tool recently for taking screenshots (for SOC2 reporting, hopefully tptacek is proud), and getting it working with FF on the CLI was very painful (but necessary since I needed my cookies!)

ASML’s EUV technology is partially based on US research and so Congress has a degree of control over it, so it’s not that simple: https://web.archive.org/web/20230116222847/https://www.nytim...

As just one data point here, let me say thank you for all your writing on it; it was super useful to have things to point at to say “we don’t have to just blindly do a thing the auditor suggested!” for our SOC2.

At least concert tickets are somewhat aligned with listening to music, unlike autoplaying video podcasts on the homepage rather than showing my playlists.

A lot of these videos get recommended to me, and although I haven't done hardware designs in 10+ years at this point, it's pushing me to get back into it again - and PCBWay lives in my head rent-free for when I do. If it were a one-off sponsorship I'd have forgotten about it, but the consistency across a load of different channels really cements it.

You can check out the protocol at https://github.com/fairpm/fair-protocol - anything WordPress or Typo3 specific are in the extensions, and the core protocol is self-contained. We'd love to work with more ecosystems to bring FAIR to them, and we've already had some discussions with others including maintainers of popular (dependency) package managers.

An "aggregator" is the thing that discovers and lists repositories - the equivalent of a search engine. Anyone can operate one themselves, and we (the FAIR project) operate a canonical one on our website, which is fair.pm.

I think it's understandable for both Backblaze and most users, but surely the solution is to add `.git` to their default exclusion list which the user can manage.

The aggregators can choose who to index, and we operate one at fair.pm - the idea being that you only federate repositories that meet requirements, and can defederate those which are bad actors. (End users can install directly from repositories though, and can always switch the aggregator if they find the rules too restrictive - no lock-in.)

Currently the reference implementation is for WordPress, but we’re working to bring it to Typo3 and other software at the moment too. The protocol is comprised of a core plus per-software extensions when needed.

We didn’t give up! We’ve pivoted efforts - focussing more on the technical part of the project, and expanding into other ecosystems. We’re currently working with the Typo3 community to bring FAIR there, as well as expanding further.

(AMA, I’m a co-chair and wrote much of the core protocol.)

On one of my old MacBook Pros, I managed to do this naturally through friction from my wrist moving back and forth on the keyboard for years; good idea to get ahead of it.

Toni was in fact the adult supervision brought in by Automattic’s board when the company was young and Matt was inexperienced.

This predates the social media laws which only started in December.

> If young people are eschewing helmets, I can see making a helmet law

Australia already has mandatory helmet laws for cycling; the person quoted is pointing out that they’re breaking the law.

A 450kph limit for the rolling stock is great, but how many lines are actually capable of these speeds? There's only a single line (Chengdu–Chongqing, currently under construction) which is designed for 350kph, with sections capable of 400kph. Aside from that, most lines are at 350kph - unless I'm missing something.

I’ve been procrastinating on one as well, but I can recommend the Inkplate devices, which come with a ESP32, battery, and a case (optionally); handy platform to hack on. (If only it were so easy to finish the project…)

They consented to their data being used to verify their identity, not to train an AI on their data. Each separate purpose the data is being processed for needs its own basis.

Nexstar's stations blocked access from European IPs, providing a 451 Unavailable for Legal Reasons response code; Nexstar are the largest TV station owner in the US, so a large number of sites for local affiliates were unavailable. I think other networks (Sinclair) may have also one so.

Here's a HN thread about it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27854663

(I worked with Nexstar and experienced this directly. Looks like this may have changed recently.)

> Virgin Media has received an order from the High Court requiring us to prevent access to this site.

> Boring Company has actually built tunnels and passengers are actually riding it. No one else is even trying.

Boring Company bought an existing tunnel boring machine (TBM), and used it to dig a car tunnel. Their only “innovation” in terms of any cost savings is to dig smaller tunnels - which we already knew could be done (tunnel cost grows with diameter), and which we don’t do for good reasons (capacity, emergency egress).

The branding and marketing exercise was excellent though.

> Not as bad as the Glasgow one, which feels like travelling on a 2/3 scale model of a subway with alarmingly narrow platforms.

For anyone who's not aware, the Glasgow Subway is literally smaller - the track gauge is 4ft (85% of standard gauge), and the rolling stock (trains) is similarly scaled down, to the point that you probably have to duck if you're over 6ft.

> Docker’s journey reads like a startup trying to find product-market fit, except Docker already had product-market fit

Strongly disagree. The core Docker technology was an excellent product and as the article says, had a massive impact on the industry. But they never found a market for that technology at any price point that wasn't ~free, so they didn't have PMF. That technology also only took off in the way it did because it was free and open source.
