I'm a keyboard pounder; it's just the way I've always typed. The best laptop keyboard I've found is the Alienware 13/15. The next best are any of the standard-travel Lenovos.

1mm travel keys just leave me thumping my fingertips off the laptop chassis all the time. It hurts.
It’s not like the chip isn’t based on years of work. It based on the same technology and design that’s been in iPhones since 2013.
This is a better solution overall, as it's "by default". A hardware switch relies on the user to be privacy conscious. An LED which is physically connected to the camera circuit (!) is immediately noticeable if it turns on unexpectedly.

I live in the Netherlands, where a significant area is below sea level. While the safety of your house is relevant, I think the bigger question is what would happen to the economy and infrastructure.

That said, I think current alarmist predictions of rising sea levels are overblown, and the change for, say, the next 100 years will be manageable.
I implied there are mechanisms in a welfare state that can be used to try to move resources to where they are needed most.

There are no mechanisms whatsoever to force Bob the billionaire to do a god damn thing with his own money, other than to give the billionaire more tax breaks.

I also used to work in certification for government benefits, and I can assure you there are, in many cases, safeguards and verification.
If I think I have installed your software and it's secretly running a web server with the ability to reinstall itself, I am calling it a backdoor. I think that list is pretty short, but perhaps I am wrong.
This is still thousands of hours of effort, riveting aluminum, installing avionics, engine, and interior, etc.

IMO, it's much closer to making furniture than assembling flat-packed from Ikea.
"someone trying to sell me something"

What were they selling? Not washing doesn't seem to provide many business opportunities that I can think of. Posies?
The article says it's to share news with tourists in HK, who would have previously been behind the firewall.

> But news of the protest has been heavily censored in mainland China, with any mention of the mass movement wiped off the Chinese internet.

> Hong Kong’s protesters have therefore turned to Apple’s AirDrop feature to get their message across to their mainland Chinese compatriots. That the messages are written in simplified Chinese—Hong Kongers use traditional Chinese—confirm that the intended audience is Chinese tourists.
(The talk you link to is strongly anti-OOP. I assume you linked it as an example demonstrating your statement that anti-OOP is on the rise these days.)

To respond to your point, though:

Traditional OOP wants to meld behavior into the noun. Which should make the data-first (noun-first?) POV more apparent -- data isn't first-class when it's coupled to behavior as traditional OOP usually has it. So functional-oriented program is more data oriented as data remains first-class (ie decoupled from behavior).
The question was about the validity of the term “homebuilt,” the point is that there is regulatory precedence for such a term. The British use a similar term. https://www.caa.co.uk/General-aviation/Aircraft-ownership-an...

As does South Africa:

http://www.caa.co.za/Airworthiness%20Documents/FAQ%20-%20Ama...

Since HN is an American site, a reference to the FAA is helpful. I didn’t have time to look up regs for Egypt, but the point is that amateur built aircraft is defined by regulation and doesn’t necessarily mean what people want it to mean. In aviation, homebuilt is exactly how people refer to kitplanes.
Now that is really cool!
ISPA Withdraws Mozilla Internet Villain Nomination and Category
I've seen at least some of most of those, but given my views, those would mostly reinforce them.
Many companies just use time. Plane tickets are cheaper if you buy them earlier, and these days video games eventually go on sale.

Pricing the different regions differently also "leaves money on the table", as there are wealthy people everywhere. Ideally you'd extract the maximum people are willing to pay, regardless of location.
Very! There's a number of aircraf that are plans only.
They used to be the main homebuilt aircraft around.
Thankfully kit built is the major bulk of homebuilt aircraft today.

If you had $20K it's perfectly possible to build a day only single/twin seat runabout.

Pixelfed is in php.
> If they'd instead specified that every detachable USB C cable must be 40 Gbps / 100 watt capable, and any lower-spec cable must be captive to the device (like mouse and keyboard cables are) then this problem wouldn't have happened.

If you are specifying that every cable is going to be $30 minimum, then your spec is dead from day 0. The USB-C committee has to balance a spec that will be used by a significant chunk of the planet, not all of whom can afford expensive cables.
At least if you're using electron, a11y is pretty much in the box... Electron + React + Material UI is pretty nice all around.
It seems like the spec must be at least reasonably clear because after these mistakes are made, someone like Benson Leung can always point to it and the community has little trouble adjudicating that yes, the spec said this one thing, but someone did that other thing instead.

Given this has happened time and time again, it seems like a process flaw more than a document flaw. Maybe well-meaning people just make mistakes. Or maybe people knowingly cut corners to save money (because saving on parts is a pressure that will never go away). Or something else.

So some sort of process fix seems to be needed, one that will (1) reward those who succeed and/or (2) punish those who try to get away with violating the spec and/or (3) create tools (like test equipment or certification services or processes) to make compliance easier to achieve for those who are trying to.

So, for example, could the Pi people have used some kind of device that would plug in and run through all the combinations? Or could there have been a canned list of test cases (representatives of different types of chargers, how they should behave) they should have run? Or could they have sent a prototype device off to USB Shouldn't Suck Labs to have them test it? Or email a schematic to them to have it reviewed by an engineer?
Ok, we've taken the firewall out of the title above.
I'm guessing just a dead website.
With the plans and a basic toolshop I'd imagine quite straightforward*

* Assuming mechanical ability and a toolshop and not making the engine.

Wright brothers did it from first principles, built the engine and where bike technicians.

Wouldn't be cheap though for the equipment.

People built planes as a hobby pretty much as soon as they were a thing, the internet and overnight shipping would help, be thousands of hours work though.

This one is really impressive https://generalaviationnews.com/2010/12/05/savor-the-experie...

And he has a site here http://www.aerostruk.com/the-plane/
I guess we just disagree, as I see it both of these are equally reasonable.

This is pretty weird though, all kinds of people regularly make far more impactful decisions than issuing facebook bans without having to hide their names.
If you can't have plugins on the browser (for Android) then you might as well use chrome (which is not planned for EOL and is faster and secure). My "grrr I hate google" tendencies are satisfied by not logging into any google stuff on chrome and using duckduckgo whilst on chrome. I accept that chrome is - privacy issues notwithstanding - faster and better (supported) than firefox, and I put up with firefox because of the addons, but without addons it's just a slower chrome.
Build time is approximately 1300 hours. Even if it is a kit, that is really impressive.
Because users got a lot of security installing Zoom and BlueJeans since it was signed....

This isn’t unique to these two. Dropbox does some ungodly things when installed on the Mac....
Is Roundup used for all of the trees' lifetimes or only in the first (maybe second) year in order to prevent it from being overgrown?

My father now owns a little bit of forrest and after new trees had been planted the effort for keeping them growing and not dying under tons of weed is non-trivial. As soon as the trees are big enough the issue becomes a non-issue, of course.
Oh this is neat - I can see this being really useful for iterating model development with our clients. Really would save us a lot in development time - gonna look more into this!
I also think it’s not unreasonable to not want to have root access to your phone.
I just don't see how Red Hat competes with AWS, Azure, and GCP

It doesn't. Their cloud tech, OpenShift, runs on top of the others. Kubernetes can sit on top of that. It makes private clouds portable (kind of).
I was convinced to try and decided that I like using Caps Lock as a left-hand Backspace myself. Nice to have one on each side, and that one is a much more convenient reach for your pinky.
Thats kinda what happened here, Apple made the user confirm that they were going to take an action on an app on their computer and Zoom built functionality in on the app to bypass it.
In the largest airplane market in the world (by numbers), the aircraft would be called an E-AB (Experimental-Amateur Built) or colloquially/more commonly "a homebuilt".

It does not seem unreasonable to use the same language when describing that same accomplishment being done elsewhere.
Dude but that's the point. They want to give people in developing markets a bank account (equivalent), to skip gift cards.
None. This is all done for you.

But "Dove doesn't dry your skin like soap can" (uk advertising tagline) which would suggest it isn't soap.
I guess when the next Windows would include a novel FS, people would not care. After decades of experimenting (does anybody remember the fears of users when it was introduced that Longhorn deprecates the traditional filesystem for query-based dynamic folders and thelike... In the end it remained only as another "addition", not a replacement), people expect a desktop filesystem to do what it always did.

Even more, the way how Android and iOS hides away the filesystem from the user in everyday tasks shows that for end users, the technical fundament isn't in the focus anymore. Modern filesystems is something which will change how servers ("backends") work but not how customers do.

That's why I think MS burrows WinFS and will probably never dig it out again...
> if not the most heavily taxed, activity

In Germany consumer electricity prices have a comparable fraction of taxes and fees. So do salaries for high-paying jobs. If these levels are tolerable we can certainly go higher.
If you found this interesting look into getting your ham license it's fun.
At a previous job, we specifically told coder candidates NOT to come wearing a suit. We didn't specifically discount those who came wearing suits, but it was often correlated with not following directions well.
> I dislike the dismissive + condescending label you try to attach to someone you haven’t really met. Labeling while effective, is not clean argument.

You need to read back this discussion because I've been anything but dismissive and condescending while you have been using language like "condescending", "humiliating", "degrading" and "dismissive" throughout.

In fact if you do read it back you'd also realise that I'm not even disagreeing with the research per se but rather disagreeing with the extreme tone and ideology you're applying to it. The rest of my post is just real world examples demonstrating that point.
You also don't have to understand anything about anything. That's not to take away from what you are doing, but the title completely misrepresents the amount of competence of these (likely spoiled) kids.

Also, what's the total cost (for ALL parts, but without labor)? I looked at their site and it seems to list $30-40k but I don't see the engine included in the part list.
Perhaps it would be if the license was different.
In the aviation community, homebuilt = kitplane.
Another unmentioned cost to the developer is the support costs of dealing with someone who believed oneself to be a legitimate customer by obtaining and using a "legit" code previously obtained through not-so-"legit" means. With traditional piracy, the pirates know full well that they're on their own and can expect close to zero support (and in fact outright hostility) from both the original developer and the broader community.
Ah, yes - thank you for that.
This is about protesters subverting the purpose of the firewall, not a technical loophole. Tourists from mainland China might not know about the protests, because of the firewall. Protestors are using AirDrop to directly deliver photos and information to the tourists, which is probably much more effective than physical posters that people can ignore or rip down.
Data Structures are more like Types than Classes. Any useful program is going to have Data Structures and Algorithms that operate on it. OP v FP are just different opinions on how that should be organized, either combined into a single object or separated into types and functions.
On laptops: yes. On desktops there are plenty of cheap PCI-E cards available... or USB dongles.
The Future of Clang Power Tools
Carry around a 3,000 watt mains extension, because someone decided making USB C cables all support 100 watts was just too demanding, eh?
Have you ever been to any of the 'evening talks'? What are they on? Are they interesting?
Sure. That’s why it’s taken decades after the ubiquity of the Internet for movie production houses to put their content on streaming services.
As a layperson in this arena, I'm skeptical as to whether it's a great solution. Is it possible to turn the camera on and off very quickly? If so, a smart hacker could do that really quickly and if the owner ever notices they would probably think there is a problem with the electrical rather than thinking they are being monitored.
To be clear, he was required to use his real Facebook account. From the article:

> The moderator said that when he started, he was given just two weeks training and was required to use his personal Facebook account to log into the social media giant’s moderation system.

This seems like reckless endangerment to me.
Everything is a nail.

Whenever developer sorts get all starry eyed over "DB as an FS", they never consider data exchange between applications vendors and platforms. Their applications always exist alone in a digital vacuum.

Example: Imagine trying to attach an MS Word document stored in this DBFS to an email from a Thunderbird client. What does that look like to the user? What does it look like to the Thunderbird developer?

Abstract and encapsulate so that each application can use their own container format that includes schema and encoding details? Other applications can read this metadata directly from each containerized db object? Cool, we just reinvented the filesystem again.
Show HN: Packagr.app – a private package repository for Python
I thought the reason platforms such as Steam collect an outrageous cut of 30% is in at least covering the costs of this fraud, which is in any case still a tiny fraction of that percentage.
Social Security also covers adult disability and even survivors benefits for the depends of those who die. Making us a vital safety net for those under retirement age.

See: https://www.ssa.gov/benefits/disability/ and https://www.ssa.gov/benefits/survivors/

PS: This also makes the ROI for retirement seem much worse than it is as retirees only get ~72% of what is being paid into the program,
Firefox has its own historical code with NS- prefixes inherited from Netscape. The joke now is that NS standards for "namespace". :)
The airframe is relatively straightforward (albeit a lot of work). Trying to make an engine at home from first principles is, for most practical purposes, prohibitive or at least, ill-advised. Even people who do automotive to airplane conversions often run into issues. Innovate on the airframe if you must, but choose a proven aircraft engine.
I'm actually somewhat surprised macOS does not check for the existence of a T2 chip as a precondition.
I've once designed "The Fantastically Modular and Configurable Ball of Mud." Scratch that. I've definitely succeeded many times even if that wasn't the goal. I now take the approach of writing single-purpose throwaway tools until I've gotten a firm grasp on exactly the use-cases I'm not targeting. Few open source projects list anti-features, but when they do, I'm extremely appreciative.
That said, the serial cables that preceeded USB had very simple specs that put the brunt of interconnection complexity on the user.

7 bits even parity? 8 bits no parity? hardware or software flow control? how do I know the modem is connected? lots o' fun!
>However, we do have concrete plans for supporting adblocking as a built-in feature in the near future

I use Firefox because I enjoy the freedom it grants users do modify it as they see fit. If the play here is to turn adblocking into a walled garden feature so you can monetize it either on the user or advertiser site I might as well go back to Chrome.
I'd be really happy to see:

a) Apple removing Zoom from the App Store (at least for a fixed amount of time before they patch* this nightmare up),
b) releasing an update to MacOS that breaks Zoom's server completely (I know, I'm asking for too much here).

*talking about patching is a bit exaggeration here because this is not a bug this is a fucking trojan disguised as conferencing app, I'd truly truly block them from App Store for that, as a fellow developer I'm writing this with heavy heart but the incompetency of Zooms developers is enormous here, CEO can say anything he want but I'm pretty much sure it's impossible he was not aware of the fact how the core of his product works. It's not even unethical, you really have to have no imagination to do something like this.

Also - there's a different issue - Macs seem to be pretty solid when it comes to security but looks like ANY installer can just spin up web severs on our machines and we won't even know? I'm just a simple developer, not a devops, how can I prevent this in happening in the future? If they did it once they will do it again. And if not them then someone else. Any hints? Should I scan my ports every morning and see what can go through every single one of them?
So given the comparison to Rothschilds dynasty in the article, why isn't the Hoare family the target of numerous, vague conspiracy theories and Ben Garrison cartoons? Better PR agents? Luck?
FWIW your coworker doesn't sound better than you, only faster. I wouldn't call him a 10x programmer based on your description.

The kind of people I'm talking about are not necessarily fast and they tend to leverage other people's abilities rather than shut them out.

Like Fabrice Bellard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabrice_Bellard

Ridiculously sharp guy, and his work has enabled so much other stuff and so many other people, eh?

- - - -

No team of ten people could do what arcfide does, eh? It would all get bogged down in intercommunication, etc. We pay a price for programming with sub-elite programmers. Metaphorically, I'm trying to say that teams dragging stone blocks are hindering the adoption of the wheel. (I'm not trying to make stone-block-draggers feel bad, FWIW.)
It already is actually, though general purpose use was not intended.

It's 2nd circuit (Connecticut, New York, and Vermont) which seems to be relatively uncontroversial, unanimous decision by 3 judges, 2 Bush 1 Obama appointees.

"""
We do conclude, however, that the First Amendment does not permit a public official who utilizes a social media account for all manner of official purposes to exclude persons from an otherwise‐open online dialogue because they expressed views with which the official disagrees.
"""

Seems pretty narrow and it appears that a public official would still be able to block trolls and spammers.

This all combined makes me think that SCOTUS will be unlikely to take this case.

edit -- the "otherwise-open" part also suggest that posting a message where all replies are blocked would also be acceptable (does twitter has this functionality? I have it blackholed so no idea...)
> but at this point it really feels like we're cheering on the mid upper class for their accomplishments.

We are, and there's nothing wrong with that.

I'm looking at Slack, Steam, and any Email client ever (granted, mailto opening an external app has been standard practice for ages).

I'm not sure if I know of any big companies that surreptitiously run a local web-server to save users a click whom haven't received flak for it.
