I think what I have in mind is essentially a customisation option. And I think your answer (and others) does make a good case that there is not a more general solution to this at the moment (and not even conceptually).

As a custom solution there are many ways to solve this if we introduce a third parameter (such as simply encrypting your files with a password). I think however the point that many people are making is that the debate is about what the default should be, and without introducing a third factor.

The two step de-hash case (IP hash + salt) suggests interesting research topics on whether there are ways to have other combinations e.g.: (IP hash + x) or (IP hash + x + y) but with the assumption that we don't want any further apriori information. The point that you are making is that in fact we only have one variable (the IP) and the salt is simply a obfuscation step. Any other approach requires more parameters (hardware, fingerprints, etc.).

I wonder if there is a way to correlate the number of bug / issues related to binaries with Swift. It’d be interesting to see if Swift correlates positively with bugs/crashes.

Some time ago I wanted to see what kind of videos people make with drones, and the top result on Youtube was a compilation of videos of nude girls sunbathing who absolutely did not want to be filmed.

When I saw that, I realised that there are too many assholes in the world to allow unregulated drones. Some people will invade the privacy of others without any thought, and the only course of action is to require registration of drones.

It's a shame -- I'm sure there are plenty of responsible drone pilots out there. But the jerks ruin it for everyone.
Thanks for this example.

That was 20 years ago. Appearently, Vector Enterprises didn't release another issue and the series ended again after just 4 issues. Another attempt started 2006, an english release of the Lemuria-Mini-series. Released 1 of 6 books as print. But 2015/2016 they finally achived a full ebook-release.

Considering that Perry Rhodan today has nearly 3000 issues of the main-series, some dozen mini-series, some hundreds paperbook-stories, a long running spin-off (Atlan) with 1000+ issues and mini-series of it's own, and meanwhile even a reboot-series (Perry Rhodan Neo), its's puzzeling that the franchise never got any kind of lasting success in english.
>One, books are no less a voguish medium than television or films; it's not just a coincidence that a bunch of people read Mailer at the same time, or that the best-seller list is mostly books that have gotten a lot of buzz recently, rather than timeless literary classics.

Books and tv series or movies have totally different tails of sales vs recentness.

Movies are mostly front-loaded (more recent = more views), tv series are almost totally front-loaded (some might watch 10 or 20 year old series, but not many will watch a 40 or 50 year old one, whereas for movies people do it more often).

Books, of course, are far more unrelated with recentness. There are books that are well read even today that are out of millennia, and anybody who considers themselves a literature reader has read works from the 20th and 19th century, and many from earlier times too.

I came here to write the same. svgcleaner[1] will reduce it from 8.4KiB to 1.3KiB (compressed with zopfli). Which is 85% smaller.

And a manually crafted one is just 477B. And 261B compressed. Which is just 3% of the original.

Now we can talk about bloatedness.

Damn, that's a lot.
There are much controversies [0] about who was the first to invent and who used a powered, "heavier than air" aircraft.

The first to invent may not be the first to use, and not all aircraft are powered, even Wright brothers used a catapult several years after their "first" flight.
And having the possibility to steer the aircraft is yet another modality that was missing in the Wright brother 17 December 1903 flight.

In retrospective how that catapult thing was so much a novelty when Robert Hooke in 1655 made a spring-powered ornithopter model which was apparently able to fly?

And indeed George Cayley should never be forgotten [1].
In 1799, he set forth the concept of the modern aeroplane as a fixed-wing flying machine with separate systems for lift, propulsion, and control.

The rewards motives are 2 fold: 1) to have the customer user their card (obviously) 2) to centralize spending in one card, so that the card holders have your information and spending habits

Some cards give better rewards for some type of shops. Amazon has their own CC as well.

Outside of the US/Canada most people get CCs from their bank and not from 3rd part vendors though.
>These apps have no access to the world outside of iOS.

Well, they can save files (like Apple's own audio notes app), connect to the network, and so on. So what access do they lack? They're not on the same direct kernel? That's probably for the better.
Any of those has non trivial impacts.

Your claim is valid, but we should take into account that cutting trees and planting new ones is not the same a leaving the trees alone in term of ecosystem. Just like burning down an old town an rebuilding a new one is not neutral in term of things lost.

Parent specifically talks about the new App Store and it's new engine.

Also, the App Store is a client for remote data (what's on the store). What should one expect to see when there's no connectivity? A local cache of all app data? That could be feasible, but also not very useful (you still can't buy or download) and might be misleading (e.g. an update might have been added or taken down etc).
It is. But if you replace "I" with "a lot of unbiased people" it picks up relevance. Google shutdown/support has been awful in many confirmed ways. And that's even if you're paying them...
I'm not familiar with Reward Credit Cards, which seems to not have taken off in France.

Cashback here is opt-in, bank- and retailer-specific. Meaning that my regular MasterCard from Bank B used to purchase stuff at retailer R gets me x% cashback. So in a way, retailers' woes won't (shouldn't) happen here...
>and of course, it still goes for that sidebar/main window layout that all the Marzipan apps use.

So?
That's the thing though, I posit that most people (myself included) want some level of guarantee and insurance on their money. That means that in a bitcoin world I wager that most people would actually use third party services to manage their assets. In order to offer a guarantee these services will ask to take over the assets to secure them in their digital vaults. And just like that you've reinvented the banking system. Note that I've seen a few instances of people on HN claiming that they were actually using cryptocurrencies for day-to-day purchases, only to admit that they actually use some kind of off-chain payment method like a coinbase credit card or similar[1]. Congrats, you've got a bank with extra steps.

Furthermore I want to point out that this "no refund" policy of cryptocurrencies is by design, there's no way to change that without effectively turning it into a "regular" centralized and "trustful" currency. It's not a feature, it is a technical limitation of the algorithm, the question is just whether it's a problematic one or not.

Meanwhile Visa and friends, if threatened, could relatively easily launch a competing product with the same characteristics (no chargeback, buyer pays the fees instead of the seller, etc...). I suspect that the main problem with starting something like that is that it would run afoul of existing regulation.

So basically the reason that we're not using Bitcoin-like currency right now is not because we couldn't do it before, it's because we actually realized that we didn't want it. The market has spoken!

>Every time I go to use Notes on Mac I get confused by the two sidebars.

You mean the actual sidebar (with the top level note folders) and the notes list? That has been the norm in 99% of note apps (and similar 'bucket' apps) for ages, across platforms...
I try to read both sides but "thinking outside the bubble" is hard. I try to be empathetic to the R. Side, but it's just hard to construct an empathetic response to conspiracy theory and legal reductionism. Where is the evidence of compassion and understanding for a vulernable 15 year old girl? Where is respect to the victims of sexual crime who often do struggle to come forward in a timely manner?

The D. Side has not achieved a high legal bar. It wasn't a court of law, and the onus of political proof isn't the legal one, and smear is a word with two readings, a claim thrown in to deflect attention from serious doubt about somebody and a literal truth: unproven allegations hang in the air.

I'm partisan. I believe implicitly in a right for women to control their own reproductive state including the decision to terminate pregnancy and I do not want this judge on the supreme Court bench. Probably I can't get distance from the bubble in part because it that. I don't believe in moral equivalence across left and right.

I will say that I don't think the candidate is a good one for a lifetime of service on the supreme bench. He fails to show the mind of a neutral judge. Same as Thomas btw.
Very interesting!

It's not about putting resources for their own apps or not. It's about enabling this route to macOS for iOS developers. They're just eating their own dogfood.

>Remember multi-window apps? Now everyone seems set on forcing everything to be done from a single window.

There should be credit card charges added to every bill. This way we would have competition to make things cheaper instead if pointless reward systems - the sole purpose of those being to stifle competition.

If the stores want to give discount for paying with card they could do for example 0.5% or 1% and add the rest of the charge to the bill so there is still incentive for CC companies to compete.

As it is customers paying with cards get a hidden discount in comparison to those who pay with cash. Shops are forced to cover that discount as well. There is no incentive to provider cheaper payments either as the customers won't benefit. We really need a law that prohibits those hidden charges.

If anything, since a lot of stuff is being rewritten from scratch, a lot of new bugs appear that were not there. At least that's my experience on the Mac with software that has been rewritten in Swift.

Obviously, it's not Swift's fault for that, but even if people at Apple make rookie mistakes such as using force unwrap operator, it tells something about the language.

That could be an interesting approach, although I suspect the current arrangements between credit card processors and retailers are more complicated than a simple fee that would be known at the time of each transaction.
I'd recommend anyone to do so.

I have been programming professionally for almost 15 years, and never used emacs nor lisp until a month ago. I have however used a lot of other languages, and have been using vim as my main editor for the last 10 years.

I tried emacs because of org-mode a month ago, and decided to use vim for writing code and emacs for managing my life, but after a few weeks, I ended up just using vim inside emacs (evil) and switching completely to emacs. Learning a bit of elisp to configure emacs, prompted me to give lisp a closer look, and now I'm full-steam-ahead learning Common Lisp and loving it!

I also moved to Fastmail years ago. I used to think it would be hell to migrate a service as essential as email, but it basically took a repointing of DNS and running Fastmail's importer.

I'm curious what people think a solution to a seemingly recurring trend throughout the world ought be. Let's create a scenario. It may not entirely precisely describe this exact case, but it's not terribly far off and generalizes well in any case. You have a midsized population of uniquely homogeneous people - let's say in the low millions. Of these people a small percent are actively radicalized and will indiscriminately murder and engage in other violent activity to pursue their agenda. A moderate percent will not engage in the criminal behavior directly, but will actively aid or assist the radicalized individuals. And a large percent may not be willing to participate in the radical element or directly assist them, but remain, at minimum, complicit in their behavior and will certainly do nothing to aid in any law enforcement effort. They've never seen anything, or heard anything - even when they have. And a secondary effect of this system is that there tends to be a trend towards radicalization rather than away from it, and you even have incidents of the radicalized murdering members within the population that are found to be too cooperative with law enforcement.

What is the proper way to handle the problem? The numbers and lack of cooperativeness make it practically impossible to remove the radical element. How do you solve the issue while also ensuring respect for human rights? Makes the Kobayashi Maru look like a cakewalk, and this is real.
I really think that you are onto something there. Or maybe a bloat index calculating the ratio between user content and downloaded content. Like 1kB of text but with 2 MB of JavaScript/CSS etc would give you an index of 2000 whereas if you only had 23 kB of JavaScript/CSS etc, it would 23.
