So I wanted to validate that it also occurs on the version on `main` and isn't a result of some changes I've made there.

Adobe Photoshop 1.0 is source available (it's written in Pascal!)
Hacker News discussion GitHub mirror of source code I mentioned this to a couple of you recently. I incorrectly believed that the source code release was recent. It actually happened 11 years ago! Reading through the code, I was surprised by how "modern" Pascal seemed.... The

is extremely simple at the moment:activity = voteCount + (10 * numComments)
then there are thresholds for how many bars to show.
Did anyone have a system with the compromised xz binary on it?
We were super lucky someone stumbled upon this so early that the blast radius was rather small. I didn’t have any systems with it installed. What about y’all? Also, I’d like to use this platform to say, this got caught because of open source.... I just asked ChatGPT and there are some decent ideas out there apparently: The discussion around how to handle relative times in user interfaces and communications is an interesting one.... Yep! We killed live updating of comment trees after MMS feedback as a stopgap measure, and we haven’t sorted out what to replace it with.
I think an ideal sorting for me that we could implement in the short-term would be something like 1. show me any content with trust>0 (new includes new comments on old posts and also includes posts which I haven’t read yet), sorted by trust. Then 2.... How much control do we have over the relative times
There are numerous posts on this across the internet, but by and large the central design of these does not mimic what humans expect. For instance, 2 weeks ago is anywhere from 7.00000001 to 14 days.... Something to consider before putting substantial work in here is whether the change is likely to survive a switch the new twitter/tree hybrid screen that will be mocked up and implemented over the next month or so.... Read the full postI’m getting all 0s right now so maybe scoring is offline?
Process-local named pipes: a wish for more secure program composition in Linux
I was trying to wrap ssh-keygen so that it only outputs a private key on stdout. One constraint I’m working with is to do so as securely as possible.... Letter to the MMS people-for feedback (more in comments)
Hey y’all, writing with my UpTrust hat on— Thank you for being our first guinea pigs! The data and feedback was helpful—highlighting things we hadn’t seen or thought of, catching bugs, validating and translating ideas, and generally seeing through your eyes. Thank you.... yeah, a tool tip explaining it in a sentence, and probably a different icon. I’m dying for a full UI makeover

Inbox view proposal/request for feedback
I’m supposed to put this on basecamp too, probably, but since I’m here I’ll put it here first. I’m envisioning we could maybe quickly and easily have another view (in addition to the current home page, and in addition to the imagined twitter-ish view) based on our current Inbox.... would love to be able to reply inside of inbox view uptrust/down inside inbox view longterm inbox view also shows context, @blake has more to say about inbox as a lens.... - onPost with a medium long title just to see what happens. Wow this title is like, eeeextra long. annoyingly long. freshly long. excitingly long? maybe not.by
Agreed. It will change a bit for the better with this change but it doesn’t change the boldness/bigness of the font.
Dogfood noticings jan 29
Team has improved a bunch of stuff already, nice work! (such as all the inbox stuff i mentioned in last week’s @dogfood noticings) I really like the new front page in the middle, I know it’s not our priority but these small UI things make a big difference for me I want to be... Would be nice to have the username of the comment in the inbox. maybe the time as well?
