Are you expecting the author to delete it?


Archive links allow others to read the article if the site suffers a Hug of Death from hitting the front page of HN.


Case in point, the link isn't loading for me right now. Seems to be hugged to death.


Adding `GIO_USE_VFS=` to the end of `a_envp` (starting on line 56), fixes that for me on Fedora 34 with polkit-0.117-3. If anybody knows why that makes a difference, I would love to hear.


Ran into this while writing my exploit. I explain it here https://github.com/v-rzh/CVE-2021-4034/blob/master/README.md... :)


Not OP, but I can tell you why your comment seemed armchair-psychologist-y to me. The issue is saying "it doesn't seem like her problem is actually X, it seems like it's Y." You read a short article written by someone who, based on the tone and explanation up top, was not in the best frame of mind.

The bigger issue with your comment from my perspective though is that you said "But it seems to me that they're still some way off from understanding their condition", which to my ears is just demeaning. Someone posts an article about leaving a community, with a lead in explaining their state of mind as of writing it, and your response comes down to "sounds like you don't understand your condition you were recently diagnosed with".

Personality disorders are hard, they don't go away and they can take years to get a handle on. When the top response to your article where you mention your disorder is someone saying you don't understand it, it becomes that much harder.


I am curious to see how this compares to Graviton2, does anyone have relevant benchmarks/comparisons?


Not a rendering benchmark but Anandtech has a performance review for each. Looking on the massively multithreaded workload side having 64 cores seems to far outweigh having 8+2

You get 5% cashback if you have Amazon prime. Assuming you are a student trying to build your credit, that's $60 a year. That means for the 5% cash back to break even you need to spend $1200 on Amazon per year. That's not obscene, but it doesn't really seem worth it to me unless you use Amazon a lot.


Yep, this is the kicker. They're not highlighting any other form of rewards (such as 2% cash back on everything, or airline miles) so it's not really moving the needle on anything other than the fact that it's Amazon-branded.

I see it as just another ploy to get you to spend more money in the Amazon ecosystem.


Because of Amazon Household [1], you do not necessarily have to hold your own Prime membership to get the 5% back. Being on a Household Prime account is enough to get the full cash back on the regular Amazon credit card, so I'd expect the same would work here. Admittedly their card marketing websites do not make this super clear.

That's assuming you don't use prime for anything else, like free fast shipping, or the TV shows.


I let my Prime subscription expire 6 months ago and I honestly haven't even noticed. The quality of the Amazon experience had already declined so much that I had already stopped using Amazon for most of my shopping/streaming.

2-3 years ago, I was making a purchase on Amazon at least once a month. These days I only use Amazon for price-matching at other stores.


They let their store rot, I dropped prime too a while ago.


No issues like that here. On a Huawei Honor 7x with Android 8.0.0


I definitely disagree that java is looking like - or even starting to - python did in 2004, it still has a huge market share, even compared to python. Yes python is definitely more popular now, enough so that the python paradox doesn't even apply, but it will probably never apply to java, or at least not in the current computing paradigm.


Maybe I read GP wrong, but what I took it to mean was that the market/talent position of python in 2018 is similar to java in 2004, not that java in 2018 is similar in any way to "2004 python".

Elm, Haskell, Clojure, etc, seem like they fulfill the role of "2004 python" in 2018.


> Elm, Haskell, Clojure, etc, seem like they fulfill the role of "2004 python" in 2018.

And ReasonML, PureScript and Kotlin the role of 1995 Python?


Yes sorry, I worded that badly and didn't intend to mean that Java was in any way like Python was in 2004. Only that Python is no longer something you'd consider someone smart for using.


The Python-Paradox-Paradox.


Neat, I've been passively playing this game for the week or so, but I didn't realize it was the same author. I can also give it a strong recommendation.


I currently can't reach doodle, something is definitely up.
