> One older man out of nowhere loudly proclaimed I was Anti-semetic

There's a bit of fringe-political subculture worth knowing here. Most self-proclaimed antifascist groups in Europe are made up of leftists who side with the Palestinians, and in Germany that scene has a long history of friction with old-school "anti-imperialists", often fairly authoritarian communists. The "antideutsche" current grew out of a rejection of exactly that, dating back to reunification in 1990, when part of the radical left decided the real danger was Germany itself. It started as a mostly intellectual critique, but in practice it came to mean waving the Israeli flag at every opportunity and giving grief to anyone in a keffiyeh.

I don't mind

Reading this comment from an hot european bathtub right now, I've been here for two hours

I guess this must be extremely subjective because for 15 years now in my country the far-right has been "on the rise" and all the politicians, and a lot of the media, now only talk about the immigration, the immigration and all the "normal" right-wingers, centrists and even soft left try to compete for being the one who will say the least "politically correct" thing, that is something about how immigration is not compatible with our culture or something. The right-wing party has split and one part is now allied with the far-right party.

My impression is that the overton window has gone further and further to the right so chacun voit midi à sa porte

The Secret to Japan's Great Cities - Not Just Bikes

Consider at least giving the title of what you want to share and even to add a small description as to why this is worth anyone's time

But I don't think that's the case for Bluesky

> Even Bluesky has this problem!

Bluesky is totally accessible for me without an account. What do you see ?

I don't remember giving my phone to bluesky

You wrote last meterS and re-reading your comment you obviously mean the connection between the street source and the home.

Which is unrelated to the point I was making

I am clearly not talking about the last meter issue, I am talking about when the fiber is already in the home and sits unused. That seems like a pity (yes not a huge deal)

But maybe I misunderstood your point ?

I don't have the same animosity against web fonts but yes I realized I could just do that on Firefox and I appreciate relying on the same font across web pages. I don't feel like I am missing out on much and aesthetically I like the idea of reusing what I already have instead of downloading a new font on every page

The "sad" thing is that it is generally not advantageous for people to have both a phone data plan and an internet box plan if the latter is not shared so a lot of people have a fiber connection on their wall but still use their phone as hotspot since bigger data plan < reasonnable data plan + internet box plan

It's not the end of the world but it feels like a wasted effort. I don't know what the solution is.

But that's already so much faster than ADSL. I just got "Fiber to Home" last year and frankly the only difference I could see is when I download a big file with a torrent. I am convinced that direct downloads and web pages were already limited by other stuff that the bandwidth.

Also that's kind of irrelevant because it is free/cheap to get the ISP to pay for bringing fiber into the home (at least if you are in an urbanized area ? But if not, the paragraph above still applies)

Note exactly the same but worth mentioning for C/C++ programmers out there: gdb can actually function as some sort of "cheap" live environment for C and C++

When stopped at a breakpoint, you can evaluate C/C++ expressions, modify state, call functions, and, with compile code, have GDB compile and execute new C/C++ code in the context of the running process:

   (gdb) set variable state->counter = 42
   (gdb) call recompute_state(state)

   (gdb) compile code
   > printf("counter = %d\n", state->counter);
   > do_something(state);
   > end

That makes for a surprisingly nice "REPL attached to a running C program" experience. You can poke at the heap, change variables, call into the existing code, and inject little bits of new code without restarting the process.

One use case I have fond memories of was implementing different trees structure and adding a print_dot function that printed the tree in .dot format and whenever I call the function from inside gdb, the xdot window would redraw with an updated tree graph.

I know it isn't really the same thing as a Lisp image where the injected code is become persistent but still nice to have

P.S: If you are trying gdb's tui for the first time and your program is still laden with print statements, you can ungarble the screen after a printf output with Ctrl+L or the refresh command

Awesome

Time to start a F.A.Q section on the website. You could that comment almost verbatims for the question : "How is that different from NickelMenu"

> Files can exist in multiple locations without duplication, linked by the system rather than by symlinks or shortcuts,

I always think about linux hard-links and always though they were pretty cool but I don't think I have encountered any in the wild so far (I am not a sysadmin though)

What great resource thank you !

This new thing is pretty cool :

    =USB4STREAM for streaming data with USB4=

    In addition to Thunderbolt networking, which was already supported, this release adds support for streaming data directly over a cable as well (USB4STREAM). It is very simple and basically just transfers raw packets from one host to another. The driver exposes /dev/tbstreamX devices on each side of the link that can be used to transfer data using regular filesystem operations such as read(2) and write(2):

    host1 # cat /dev/tbstream0
    host2 # echo hello > /dev/tbstream0

    This can be useful in cases where network tooling is not available or just for existing applications like dd and cat that do not support sockets. This feature can be used at the same time with thunderbolt_net so they don't rule each other out, and it allows multiple streams to be created.

This is a code forge, you need to scroll to get to the README.md

Ooopsie. Sorry I can't edit anymore. @dang Would be kind enough to add the year ? (I know this is not supposed to work but I know it works)

Do you have any source defending your point better than you can in small comment ? I am interested but a bit unconvinced so far

Fine you know more History but I don't think that the point of the article is to be historically accurate but rather to provide a theoretical explanation of why centrally planned economy is in fact quite difficult because of combinatorial explosion

So someone is mad that a muslim/arabic guy is hostile and refused to serve him, an israeli ?

I am not even "pro-palestinian" but this is not hn-worthy and is something anecdotal. Anyone in the world every day does something that some think is unacceptable.

Also it is a highly flammable topic and won't lead to any interesting discussion and will make everyone on each side, and even those who don't have a side, feel miserable

Flagged

Yet I have to install a not very famous, maybe unmaintained daemon to get basic system integration

Yes yes I agree but none of those are a blueprint for communism per se. They are more transition measures in the hope that a new society will come out of it. Also is it only the work of Marx or collective authorship?

There's no blueprint for what Communism will be like. There is just this vague idea of some administrative entity that would replace distribution by the market IIRC

if everything is capitalism, then nothing is capitalism

"But one should not succumb to the illusion that with an analysis of the fundamentals of the capitalist mode of production that everything decisive has already been said about capitalist societies"

Michael Heinrich, Introduction to the three volumes of Capital

That sentence is extremely unspecific to anything capitalistic. Were it not for the word "bourgeoisie", it could apply to the Mongols for all I know.

Reducing everything to a few sets of variables that you can keep in your mind is quite reassuring. Ask me how I know. Do take the time to assimilate this sentence though:

"But one should not succumb to the illusion that with an analysis of the fundamentals of the capitalist mode of production that everything decisive has already been said about capitalist societies"

Michael Heinrich, Introduction to the three volumes of Capital

And yet he gave us nothing in terms of what alternative economic would look like apart from a "a free association of workers" or something. Turns out it's a hard problem.
