...Unless you have a private wifi AP you connect to. Then your device is individually identifiable and trackable.

In addition, I believe apps that use ibeacon technology can respond to specific ibeacons. But I think your phone can become a beacon.

I suspect (but am not certain) that if your phone is running app XYZ it can talk to other phones running XYZ through the XYZ registered beacons (if location services are on for app XYZ).

Also, just for an interesting example of where some of this stuff can go... The target app will change the price of an item if it finds you are in a store (search "target app price switch").
That sounds reasonable. I had no idea the T2 was that powerful.
Hey, its not like you can actually find a Hygon cpu in the western hemisphere.

Big difference between Google and Facebook is that Google's search nobody can replicate, while Facebook's core tech is at it's core something everybody can replicate. Sure they've done a ton of research but it's not core like Google's search research. It's just a CRUD app.
> A suicidal mind is often one caught in the temporary throes of delusion and irrationality

The trouble is when this idea becomes circular, e.g. "anyone who would choose to kill themselves even though their life doesn't seem that bad to me must be in the temporary throes of delusion and irrationality."

In other words, to apply your proposal would require determining whether someone is "in the temporary throes of delusion and irrationality" without knowing or factoring in whether they are suicidal. That's probably easy enough in the two obvious examples you listed, but accidental deaths due to intoxication or recklessness are already a less tricky issue than what we normally refer to as "suicide."
I also have a math degree. If the prevailing model of a university education is to give you career skills that you'll use, well ok, I maybe use 10% of it.

But if you think of a degree as purely a signaling mechanism, then a pure math (or astrophysics or latin or whatever) degree is a very clear signal about what your brain is capable of.
I feel like flexbox works better for how I think about building apps in that I'm usually working on one feature at a time, not "laying out" an entire 2d page at once.
>JavaScript today has the same problem: you can’t just start writing a web app because two lines into a tutorial you’ll be barraged with “So this is actually an ES2017b.71 feature that we’re enabling using babel-ts-flooginator, therefore you also need TypeScript and that means you need to...”

That's not a problem with javascript, it's a problem with the development culture, its schizoid relationship with the language and its obsessive need to be "cutting edge." You can, absolutely, just start writing a webapp because vanilla JS and even jQuery still work perfectly well. What you can't as easily do is find tutorials that don't assume Javascript has to be compiled from another language and pushed through a complex tech stack before you can even approach it.
That'll result in humanitarian aid being sent to France.

I hope it's just political bullshit.
Hi,

it's planned (but no precise date) after the Beta :)
Many of the Government labs do this. LLNL is notorious for exclusive licences. NASA as well.

Major partners will only sign the exclusive licences. Small players the lesser ones.

That’s awesome. That’s a very common problem even for non layouts. Many of the complex UI elements I work on daily all need basic mobile support where I could see applications for this.

It seems to be about a mix of grids with flux instead of either/or.
The trap is CSS grid in IE which is counted as partially supported is a much older spec of css grid which works quite different to the final spec.
I’ve never found a book on software I agreed 100% with. Even my favorites have some bits I think are dead wrong. It doesn’t mean the other parts aren’t valuable.
I can think of a cool case for this.

What if you have an append-only system which is making remote backups. One service is writing the activity log append only, a second service is reading that, check-pointing, and then truncating the head of the file when the check-point has been committed. No need to do the tricky file-swap trickery.

Weak refs are a way to work around reference counting cycles, but cyclic garbage collection is a more complete solution and it's a core feature of nearly every high level language.

https://www.php.net/manual/en/features.gc.collecting-cycles....

It seems like people who often use Rust's Rc and Arc will long for some way to implement generic cyclic garbage collection. I don't yet see a way (other than unsafe code), but I may be missing something.
Population should level out around 11B, assuming no big surprises/shocks. And people aren't hungry for a more CO2 intense lifestyle - just a richer one. That's why getting off fossil fuels is so incredibly vital. Luckily, I think that moment is upon us, and we'll see fossil use die off over the next few decades. Renewables aren't just cleaner, they're cheaper now.

And I don't think your chart proves your point. While the absolute number of births has increased, it has increased far less than the population as a whole (the population has tripled since 1951 - the increase in number of births is less than half the increase in number of people). Keep scrolling down the page of your link, and you see massive, massive declines in birthrates worldwide, with an extensive list of reasons why.

So why would you think "there may be other phenomena emerging that counteract it"? Like what? Are you sure you aren't just clinging to a belief in population spiraling out of control that is at odds with observed facts? Because what you believe is what most people believe. And it's wrong.
FWIW, the correlation between parent and child leaves open the possibility (likelihood, I would argue) of a significant genetic influence.

Yes, except you'd need to get your target to install the Tile app and use it frequently enough that it keeps background location privs.

If Apple does come out with a cheap Tile-type device with a then this could be a legit concern. If you hid one in a person's belongings then you'd get hits from their phone- and turning it off wouldn't work, because random passersby would report their location as well.

This could even be better (worse) than spy-gear standalone GPS trackers because the battery would last for a very long time.
> It is [part of the standard]

+ as a magic character to effect routing isn't part of the standard. Mail servers are free to route addresses to mailboxes in whatever manner they see fit. That + can appear as a character in an address is part of the standard, just not the behavior of it; a server that treats a+1@ and a+2@ as distinct emails is conforming, and from a sending side, you cannot know if a+1@ and a+2@ will end up in the same mailbox.

(But you're absolutely right that too many sites fail to parse email addresses. Or rather, they over-parse.)
How about both? Birds and the bees.
Here's how I expect this to go:

1. Six months from now, Apple will announce a new ad network, which will be whitelisted for Kids apps.

2. Twelve months from now, they'll ban all non-Apple ad networks in kids apps. If they want to be subtle about it, I'm sure they'll find some inappropriate ad to use as a pretext.

3. 18 months from now, they'll open their ad network to all apps.

4. 24 months from now, they'll ban non-Apple ad networks in all apps, and swim in money as they've found another way to squeeze more money out of their captive userbase.

And every step of the way, HN will cheer as Apple continues to brutally exploit their ownership of the platform.
I don't find any of these workstations really interesting. They are all the same x86_64 architecture so just getting the latest and greatest puts you leagues ahead.

I find the really old workstations to be way more interesting. You rarely see a MIPS, Sparc, PA-RISC anymore. Once the CPU wars were over (Intel won, btw) you could get old SGI supercomputers, DEC Alphas, Sun Sparcstations, and NeXT Turbo Cubes for almost nothing. My very first website was run from an Alpha workstation on NetBSD under my dorm room bed.

They were power hungry, not state of the art, and sometimes quirky to use (Irix Motif comes to mind) but they were a blast.
Except it doesn't work like that at all. In there you have real problems from real people who want the job done. If their problem requires Rust, then trust me, they will ask for Rust. And those are the people who pay the freelancers. As a freelancer I have zero saying in what clients want, I am there to help with their problems, not for them to bow before my choice of programming languages.

> Our rights don't magically stop at property borders.

Actually that's almost exactly what "property" means. Famously, "Your right to swing your fist stops at the end of my nose." Or in less flowery language: Your rights end where others' property begins.

If you think YouTube has a "monopoly", the right way to address it would be to start up a competing site. There are no significant barriers to entry in starting a video streaming site. They're a dime a dozen these days. Google will even sell you the server capacity and bandwidth, or you can host it on one of their competitors' cloud platforms or rent space in a datacenter somewhere. Your main concern will be dealing with the inevitable DMCA complaints related to user-submitted content.

Of course, you should be prepared to deal with the fact that your site will mainly be populated with all the videos YouTube doesn't want to host, often for very good reasons.

> In the wild, it's exceedingly rare to find people who can bridge both worlds reasonably. I appreciate that Google was able to formulate a functional SRE team, but... most companies aren't Google.

I agree with this comment. Personally, I got my start doing sys admin work, and after doing it for years I became pretty decent at writing scripts in Python and Ruby, and I picked up some Java and JavaScript along the way.

In my experience, a lot of people who don't have a lot of experience tend to fall in one camp or the other: either they're operations people who can't code, or coders who don't follow best practices when it comes to operational work.

But here's the problem that I keep seeing:

Management, the ones writing the checks and doing the hiring, all they know about DevOps is what they've read in books and seen in seminars. Due to this, they have a bad habit of dismissing people who don't speak the DevOps "language."

For instance, I did a job interview a few months back, and everything in the job description was in my wheelhouse. I was a great fit. But the hiring manager kept trying to coerce me into talking about my 'vision for DevOps.' Clearly, he had read a book or attended a seminar, and he wanted me to have some type of religious experience with him.

But that's not my thing. I am too busy actually doing the work to read a 200 page book about mission statements.
Nowadays, I expect to see him referred to as "noted mass-murderer Winston Churchill", since I learned he ordered the death by starvation of 3 million people in Bengal.

By some estimates he out-murdered Stalin. You don't encounter many stories of how much Pol Pot or Hitler loved their respective hounds.
There is a famous story about a guy trying to convince Niels Bohr in 60's that quantum transitions in different molecules close to each other can coherently influence each other and result in amplified emission of coherent radiation. Bohr utters something in the sense that is impossible, quantum transitions are random, photons are not correlated, so the molecules can never cooperate. The guy didn't take the prominent QM scientist too seriously, went on and built the device. He was the famous Charles Townes, one of discoverers of the maser/laser effect. Of course, he knew the transitions aren't instantaneous but take time and mutual interaction of molecules and mirrors can synchronize them.
I've been to almost every major airport, and several regional ones, in the continental United States and I can't remember a single baggage claim area for domestic flights that wasn't open to the public. Just this past weekend: Boston and San Francisco, both open to the public.

My favorite airport was Long Beach; it's been ~9 years, but last time I flew in the baggage claim conveyor belt was literally outside at the curb. (And this is why that place rocked. The expansion has likely since ruined all the little conveniences of LGB.)

Once upon a time some baggage areas had security which would spot-check claim tickets before you could leave the baggage area. That was mostly pre-9/11, though, when checking in your bags could be easier than leaving with them. Some major airports have [now] uselessly annoying barriers to baggage claim areas for that purpose.
You are totally right, and we put a big warning that data saved during the Beta may be lost.

And as a freelancer I don't care what company X or company Y does internally. I care only about the jobs I can get. When enough of them will start having problems in Rust and start posting jobs for outside world then maybe I will care about Rust too.

yes, on iOS (Unity App) all of Amplitude SDK is in source code.
Obviously it was! Why else would it be changed to remove Hindi being compulsory and only talk about 3 language formula?

The only daftness in this process was that the entire Government machinery had to be put in force just to allay the fears of one State over a committee's draft policy.

If this sort of reactionary response becomes the norm, then the Central Government will just stop publishing draft policies on their websites and instead wait until the final draft is ready. I prefer that as we have too many emotional people in the country who have no patience to wait for the final draft.
I think what berbec is saying is maybe you can locate an NFC device that has a depleted battery.

That said, I don't know if apple NFC works that way. Apple can use NFC to read nearby NFC tags, and possibly become an NFC tag, but I don't know if it can respond in a static way without power.
Use what you think is right for the job, I have found many uses for grid in the last year that make web development a lot less migraine inducing.
Is this a problem that really needs a solution?

I can't recall any times where this would have been useful to me or think of a situation where it'd be a deal breaker. I could contrive a bunch of other operations that are inefficient on file systems like this (remove every other byte from the file, why not?), but doesn't mean that literally any idea we can think up should be supported by the file system apis.
> Apps in the Kids Category may not include third-party advertising or analytics.

Totally agreed for advertising... but analytics are essential to improving the quality and usability of apps including for kids, and they're a real cost to roll your own. Using third-party analytics is like using a third-party JPEG or MP3 decoder: it almost never makes sense spending 100's or 1,000's of hours writing your own.

So I don't get it. What's the harm for kids in third-party analytics? Third-party analytics are just a service, they're not necessarily ever correlated with anything else. But even if they are, the only argument I can imagine is not helping further build up advertising profiles... but if kids aren't seeing the ads anyways then again, what's the harm?
I've often thought it would be useful (especially for software that manages container or archive file-formats, or for databases) to have exposed to the user a file-system object that operates like a file, but which—instead of being exposed by OS as a seekable byte stream that can be appended/truncated on one end—is exposed by syscalls as a vector of arbitrary, non-uniformly-sized extents, where the user is expected to ask the OS to pre-allocate extent buffers (think mmap(2) with anonymous private disk pages), and then, separately, stuff those into this vector object (which would be an operation almost exactly like hard-linking an existing file into a directory, in terms of its time and space complexity.)

Of course, for most filesystems (and especially ones with sparse-file support, and especially ones with copy-on-write support), such an on-disk data structure is exactly what's already underlying the byte-stream abstraction. So this would just be a passthrough to allow people to directly manipulate that data structure. (In the process probably breaking certain preconditions the filesystem relies on, though, so it would need to track these "low-level extent vectors" as a separate filesystem object type. Programs would still be able to use regular file-abstraction syscalls on them, though.)

Interestingly, despite filesystems themselves not exposing the lower-level extent-vector abstractions, in some other systems that have file-stream-like abstractions, you can operate on "files" this way.

Postgres's BLOBs, for example, are seekable byte-streams, which also (at least theoretically) allow you to insert into the middle of them. (I say theoretically because it's not an implemented API, but it's not exactly hidden from the user, either. BLOBs just get broken out into records in a table representing their extents; you can rewrite the keys of said records in that table to do whatever low-level operations you like.)

Or, for another example, S3 and its competitors let you arbitrarily compose objects as “components” of other virtual objects, which then read back as the concatenation of the objects they contain. (Sadly you don’t get any other vector-manipulation ops than this, but if you keep references to the leaf extents around, that’s often enough to rebuild your extent-vectors any time they change.)

Also, of course, back on the real filesystem, you can just manage your "vector of parts of a file" as multiple files in a directory, and then abstract over that directory that by using a FUSE server which exposes a view where the files are one contiguous file.
I think this is hilarious, but probably not going to continue to be true. Yes, a lot of software products fail, but automation is increasingly driving capital growth and replacing labor. The p2p gig economy does cut out a lot of bureaucracy, and AI advances... both of which were hard to predict in '08.

The article he cited, Parkinson 1955 (originally in the Economist), on the relationship of british naval bureaucracy to work, is even more interesting imo! http://www.berglas.org/Articles/parkinsons_law.pdf . It hypothesizes a growth equation for bureaucracy where the only exogenous factor is the underlying population. I'd be curious whether more rigorous research says anything about bureaucratic growth, as we're stretching further towards an era where minimal % of the population has to do any 'blue collar' labor. Maybe in the field of institutional economics?
I often think that shyness is rather a natural protection (like an immune response) against a world that is simply full off assholes. So you should really carefully consider whether you want to overcome your shyness.

Curiously enough. PalmOS's file streams supported this very feature: delete as i read. As you read bytes from the start of the file, they'd be deleted. You were allowed to have a concurrent writer appending to the end.
