You were getting downvoted so I tried to see if there was a reason why. I was able to find:

> On installation, ufw is disabled with a default incoming policy of deny, a default forward policy of deny, and a default outgoing policy of allow, with stateful tracking for NEW connections for incoming and forwarded connections.

which suggest as long as you have UFW enabled, a sane "deny incoming, allow outgoing" should be the default policy behavior.

The more specific rule is probably more useful if you do intend to expose a TCP port though.

It reminds me of the Apple TV rumors. For ~4 years the new AppleTV was just around about to be announced for <reasons> and you should wait to buy one. Then it's finally announced and people are all "yeah, but a few weeks before the AppleTV was launched they said it was going to have more RAM!".

Sure, and they said similar kinds of things for 4 years. Why act like the broken clock is suddenly worth noting just because the time was finally right this moment?

+15 in < 1 hour is a pretty decent start. HN doesn't just try to display the most voted thing of the day.

That's just one small event along the way, one that occurred many years after Intel started slipping enough for long enough that an iPhone was more powerful than an Intel laptop and after Intel's fabs failed to produce a useful new generation many generations in a row and after Intel acquired many companies just to spin down their products and after...

It's an NFC card, $5 should still leave them decent margin. Desptite it being nice nice more and more cars just let you use your existing NFC devices it's still starting at crazytown and working your way up from there if you want any sort of physical backup replacement.

Great post! In every apartment I've lived in I've done something similar and it keeps the wife happy enough, even though there are technically cables running everywhere (just make sure to not make a mess of things at the switch side if you run a lot...).

Some other notes for those trying to adapt things to their own situations and set ups:

- As others have said, give ample time to trying to recrimp the cables first. It seems this post skips past that as it didn't work out for the author, but it should be the first step for anyone reading.

- RJ45 SFP+ adapters that don't get super hot and do the full range exist now if you need to use them somewhere. Just don't expect them to be the cheap ones!

- If you do try to go with a wireless mesh, make sure it's APs which can mesh on the 6 GHz band. It won't help you punch through lead lined walls or anything but stuff like the HP25s with only 2.4+5 GHz can only ever give misery to begin with. Not that Wi-Fi will compete with glass regardless, but it can actually be pretty decent with 6 GHz mesh.

- The media converters and SC transceivers do use IEEE standards. Functionally they are 2 port switches in transparent mode. More expensive to build something custom when the goal is just to transport Ethernet with Ethernet media anyways, plus it increases the use cases of the product to be normal Ethernet on both ends rather than just a paired device for solely this scenario.

- As such, if you do multiple runs consider putting a switch with SFP/SFP+ ports at the head end instead of media converters. Try not to spend more than ~$120 on an 8 port 10G switch for this if you go this route, it's easy to spend more to get less.

- Instead of media converters, consider getting mini 4+2 switches (4 RJ45 up to 2.5G + 2 SFP+ up to 10G) from Aliexpress or wherever. They tend to be about the same size as a media converter and go in the ~$30 price range. The benefit being if you ever need to plug another device in near that one you have 3 other ports already available to use that 10G uplink with. You can also daisy chain them with the 2nd 10G port, which works great so long as you don't need all 10G to a single device all the time. The only case it's not great is when you really want to turn that run into a single 10G RJ45 port, here the media converter would be significantly cheaper.

- Unless you have another reason to (e.g. have existing cables or free stuff), I'd recommend going with single strand LC fiber. SC is pretty much only found in service provider networks these days and also has a bulkier end. Not that LC is "wrong", but if I were buying new for home networking I'd probably do LC.

- If you're cheap you can go for 1G transceivers & switches, but if you're doing all of this instead of dealing with Wi-Fi you're probably in the group that would like to just spend slightly more for a 10G network.

With an important note that the real purpose of plenum cable and the cause of its stiffness is for meeting fire safety regulations when used in plenum spaces. It just happens to also be convenient that this usually makes it a bit sturdier to work with.

Modern Windows already offers exactly this, including defaulting to evergreen but having the option to bundle, in WebView2 https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview...

But they dropped plans to support it on macOS and Linux so it's a bit useless as an Electron replacement. Not that it was exactly a drop in for Electron - it's web based but with a different set of extra APIs. I don't think things will move as fast to something else now that apps are already built on Electron and the savings is for the user rather than the developer. It really needs to be 100% Electron compatible, just with the difference in launch behavior.

A lot of the fossil fuel industry is interested in people switching to electric. Not every one of them produces automotive gasoline after all.

The only one that doesn't inherently make much sense to me is Fable vs Opus. Beyond that, it's just different sized works at the given effort level.

I think the biggest fault in Electron is not just that it's inefficient web tech but that it has no provision for shared instances between apps, instead foricing every app to be the one which only ever wants to use the EXACT locally bundled copy of Chromium+Node which should launch in isolation of any others. This isn't even something Electron needs to die and be replaced for, just an optional feature other similar tools have jumped on for years now.

I'm sure exact pinning is sometimes the real intended case for certain apps, as it is a value in certain ways, but I'd bet at least half the Electron apps I have running now would happily be using the same shared instance of the same LTS Chromium+Node if it were the out of the box behavior to be able to do so.

Looks like it flipped in ~the 40s, by the ~60s had become rarer as a male name, and was pretty much a flop as a male name after the ~80s. So Clinton was born just when it started to take off for females (and in general - it was never as common as a male name) and there should have been in the same ballpark as as many male "Hilary"s of the same age.

It seems there are lots of cases across the board where "women adopt traditionally male thing" has become the norm in this timeframe but not many where "men adopt traditionally female thing" at quite the same rate or scale.

AFAIK, search is really a place for Algolia to show off its API based search services to the HN audience, not really just built to be a simple static page search result to match the HN architecture.

Only fallen in love with crafts you can make a loving from? The point of these jobs was never supposed to be "Loxicon enjoyed doing them" but the point of the crafts themselves can (still) be any reason you fancy.

Of course "and what do we do now" is going to be its own problem, but don't stop loving the craft over it.

Well, again, it's not that these things take place of each other it's that they influence each other. Taking the first example, America only exists because individuals went to settle and conquer new lands and then pulled themselves up by their bootstraps to defeat the tyranny of the monarchy. There is no way in which this can happen without these cultural traits in the same way there is no way it could have happened and not driven these cultural traits further. The other examples follow the same line.

That's not arguing small government is supposed to be good or bad, it's just saying what the American mindset considers important when judging things - which is on traits which align with its mindset over its history, not on whether or not the application of policy seems evenly distributed to all.

A microstate is not just "one smaller than another" though, and nobody lists Norway as a microstate of Europe/the EU.

But with what you had meant - it means Norway is pretty comparable to a typical US state division or, in other words, something US states could be expected to implement successfully in their state prison systems if there weren't other reasons than scale they do things differently.

Speaking of code golf, I had it optimize Diskitude into a <8 kb (still uncompressed) executable, add some features, and improve scanning performance all while increasing size. An LLM will gladly make extremely optimized software, you just have to ask for it.

I don't think there is a clear cause and effect (or even separation) of those two things. The early views/situations of those who made America are largely the same force which drove the desire for small government and vice versa. I.e. what you believe is ideal in reality is going to be based on the way you weigh things morally just as much as the way you weigh things is going to be based on what ideal is held.

There is, of course, more than one reason people hold the views they do, but I do believe things like rugged individualism & the Protestant work ethic definitely played a major role in why the majority of Americans hold the desires and fears about government they do - particularly in the aspect of these examples. Without those influences, I think what America has tried vs what it has feared would be a very different list today (which is not to say whether it'd've been more successful or not).

Much of the US doesn't think of it in terms of proactive vs reactive governance but instead in cultural/moral expectations of how you should "pull yourself up from your bootstraps" to be great. This view is often to the point many see removing the need to pull oneself up from their own bootstraps as removing the ability for them to better themselves (& wasting everyone else's money/freedom/whatever to do so). A soldier and an obese person are examples at polar opposites of that moral spectrum.

The policies just follow that. This comes up in all sorts of areas such as prison as punishment vs rehabilitation.

They were talking about the money sources, not the list of grivences by political source in order of severity. The latter, however much you'd like to make the conversation be about it, does not change how each actually gets its money.

I've started to despise revealed preference for precisely this scenario. When it's applied accurately it rarely says anything normal reasoning couldn't already make abundantly apparent but it's soooo easy to inaccurately apply and then the conversation goes off the rails to focus on what the revealed preference does/doesn't say.

Lots have thoughts on this, few take the time to review the existing implementations/proposals and explain both how it is their approach doesn't run in to the same problems as well as the problems their proposal still doesn't resolve.

Most of the time, this results in people thinking the big problems are one set like "if only there was a way to translate" while the real remaining problems are another set like "and how do you get people to want to transition when it works well enough for those clients in the translated state".

Hopefully you mean a static prefix, a static address would be an abomination from an ISP in IPv6!

Hmm, I suppose I see it the opposite - it's important these limits don't apply to one specific instance, just as the citation points out problematic things still apply if it's a horse rather than a car. That doesn't seem an accident/mistake, but a key part of making the limitation meaningful and well formed.

I suppose that's the split between "writing code" the action and "writing code" the overall development process. I do agree there is some nuance in thoughts here often lost by the term getting overloaded.

> We know that if something gained somewhere, something lost somewhere.

I don't know that.

How would you see these types of limits applying to AI in a way that doesn't already apply to a normal tool?

Roblox has lasted so long because it's not a specific game which is only relevant to a particular audience, it's a platform for whoever the users are to create and share games/content with others.

I never really liked it because of the virtual economy aspect, but the only link between Discord having quests on Roblox or adults playing Roblox and kids is that's the majority of the userbase and therefor content, not that it's only for kids.

They will never claim the prize for any Millennium Prize problems because the blowback for asking for the prize would be 10x worse than anything they've received about the proof efforts so far. This leads to the joke about the Clay Institute continuing to be on track to never having to pay out the prize money (after the previous drama of the first problem fully solved by humans resulting in the same).

As a result, I also doubt they'll ever bother to submit these to a journal when they already have the attention and ongoing review of leading mathematicians from around the world.

Perhaps the most salient part of the Millenium puzzles though is the 2 year acceptance period, where we give a time for that review and consensus (the part that matters, not journals or prize claims) to settle before claiming it solved.
