Tips to be more productive with Kubernetes
Apple's effective policy is that any long-running service should be mediated via a remote server. This affects not just SSH but every other protocol that relies on long-lived TCP connections such as IRC and XMPP. Not only can you no longer maintain the connection - you also need an out-of-band way to provide notifications via APNS. Together these requirements have hugely damaged traditional or federated protocols. Nowadays XMPP has extensions to handle this situation but the damage is done.

Meanwhile Matrix gets by because they have a company with actual money subsidising the client app (Riot) and providing notifications for every user, no matter which homeserver they happen to be using. Without that benevolence provided for iOS, Matrix could well be another non-starter outside FOSS circles.
The world is vastly improved as all search results are now 'organic', and people find the products they need without being bombarded with advertising and cheap behavioral economic manipulations to encourage them to purchase products and services they don't need.
You're implying that the legacy manufactures could come up with some radically new sort of ev that would be as superior to Tesla cars as the iphone was to the BlackBerry. But the legacy manufacturers are already producing and designing ev's, and they are all inferior to Teslas.
This article is about a notification that appears on iOS devices letting you know when an app has been using your location information in the background. I haven't used Android in a while but I assume it doesn't have this. These data are often sold to advertisers, data aggregation companies, shared with police, etc.

So that's the issue, more than ads being directly embedded in the apps of the phone.
Tesla has already sold every car they can manufacture, and their entry price is $40k-ish in the USA. Other manufacturers are limiting how many BEVs they produce, and still managing to sell most of the ones they build even though they are universally objectively worse than any Tesla offering.

Tesla Model 3 is the best selling BEV in every market it participates in (not sure about numbers compared to PHEVs). It is selling in comparable quantities to ICE vehicles in the same price range.

A significant number of people buying Model 3 are upgrading from cars costing half the price.

There is little to no indication that EV adoption will slow down (before pointing to a drop in Model 3 sales in the USA consider that the one factory supplies the entire world outside China).
I mostly agree, but it's sometimes a necessary evil. There's a reason I praised shell languages in general rather than bash specifically; fish shell, for instance, is much more comfortable.

This is interesting, because from my perspective you seem unhappy, angry, and thoroughly invested in seeing the cause as [a decaying culture in thrall to liberal values] rather than [your own fixation on winning and insistence that “decent” women are very rare]. Is it hard to imagine why those qualities might deter thoughtful and kind people?

I guess you might chalk this up as cerebral milquetoast pablum, but seriously, the aggression in your replies makes it hard for me to believe that you’re actually happy, and aren’t just distracting yourself from the things you’re angry about by accumulating generic attendants of happiness (property, cars, women!).

In 2020 the US is the only western country with the death penalty.

I’m sure everyone is aware that most countries used to have very severe punishments, but that’s not the case today.
I'm not sure you understand my point: the way we raise boys has largely been ceded to women for a while now and heaping "toxic masculinity" (really, when was the last time you saw the second word without the first tugging it along?) shaming on men is just more of the same.

We need less of it.
Without sideloading I can't use a 3rd party youtube app that has no ads, no tracking and allows downloads. I also can't use my pebble watch because the official app is unsupported and only community supported software exists. I also am restricted from some content that android users of the same app can view because apple prohibits adult content inside of apps.

I see a phone as a tool to do what the user needs. Not the user doing what the phone will allow.
They're still on your phone taking up space, though.
I still like reading the essay [1] from former Vice Chairman and Head of Product Development of General Motors Bob Lutz from time to time: “Everyone will have 5 years to get their car off the road or sell it for scrap.”

I personally have bought my last internal combustion engine car. I had planned to purchase another vehicle by now, but will wait for the Model 3 (perhaps another?) to mature a bit then go electric. I’m curious how many others out there have changed their calculus, too. I think it’s very analogous to iPhone’s rise, which must account for the stock.

At Mixcut.com (Building real time collaborative video editing) we use a combination of OTs and a variant/simpler version of CRDTs that provide the most coverage of the various features needed. The usage of low latency websockets to shuttle OTs and building completely around OTs is key.

It’s working great for us in beta, we’ve recently shipped multiplayer to our users and overall it’s very stable. With a lot more in store soon, please check it out!

> I wonder how many lines of code in crypt32.dll. Is it on the order of 7500 lines? If Microsoft spent a few man-years mathematically proving the correctness of that code, they could have the saved the world about 10,000 man-years.

Crypt32 mostly concerns itself with X.509 certificates and I believe actually implements all that stuff (instead of delegating it elsewhere). I wouldn't be surprised if it contains considerably more code than 10k lines.
Executing instructions dynamically from memory (JIT does this) exposes potential security issues. A good example is the famous Specter vulnerability.

Specter itself is not JIT-specific but it is known to very hard to reproduce that the only current viable target environment is JIT. So JavaScript was affected by Specter.

I'm already uneasy with the way Plaid works, I'm not also going to disable 2FA on my account to accommodate the broken way they access accounts (pretending to be a browser instead of using APIs).
There are good, secure ways to grant access to resources, and giving your password to Plaid for them to log in to your account with reduced security is definitely not one of them and certainly not an attractive proposition.
Hu, yes, sure, but do you think it makes sense that your _language_ of choice implements a FAT file system and a file abstraction on top of it in its standard library?!

Regardless, "Stop Homosexuality, Stop Lesbianism" is not actually a part of the religious doctrine of all of Christianity. Many denominations have come out as pro-LGBT.

You say that like it would be a bad thing!
Market is far more important than founders or how much money they have. How much money they have is almost irrelevant because if there's an opportunity there they can get traction and if they get traction, they can always get more money. Start ups don't fail because they didn't have enough runway, they fail because they don't get traction.

Market is by far the most important factor. You can't do anything at all if no one wants to buy what you've made. Even founders without much experience will do quite well if there's market demand for what they're building.
Congratulations to the Plaid team!

I was under the impression that Adobe Animate was a direct successor to Flash the authoring software (but with output options including HTML5 instead of SWF).
Education is not a panacea. It never has been, and it's a myth from the 20th century that has, unfortunately, bled over into the 21st. The idea that as automation happens - and barring government intervention and regulation it will - that all we have to do is build a more robust and responsive education system these people would find fulfilling employment as technical managers or researchers themselves ... is just not true. I wish it was, but it isn't.
Since upgrade to Android 10 i get for each app, that asks for location in the background the option to disable it and allow location access only, when i use the app.

> When someone tells you something relies on UDP, nobody in their right mind assumes that this person implemented TCP features on top.

AFAIK it's rather common in multiplayer games to do TCP-like features over UDP, as they usually need the UDP features but also need reliable transport for some data, and it's rather tricky to do both UDP and TCP at the same time.

Apple’s restrictive iOS is what’s pushed me to use Android. Sure, out-of-the-box, iOS is better for privacy. But with the right adjustments, power users can make Android much better for privacy than iOS.
They take up space.
I think the keys are 1) don't be soy-phobic (eat tofu/tempeh, yes, but also soy milk -- esp. the fortified, unsweetened kinds, they demolish most other vegan milks nutritionally), 2) eat lots of pulses (so peanuts, lentils, beans, peas, chickpeas, and the like), 3) eat nuts and nut butters, and 4) choose high protein grains (e.g. oatmeal, whole wheat breads with seeds, whole grain pastas, etc). It all adds up -- I actually found I was getting something like 50% over my recommended protein intake without thinking about it.

But how much more profitable could it have been? Is it possible Microsoft makes more money by not doing it?

We cannot expect companies to behave in the greater population's best interest unless there is some reward/punishment structure in place.

> I haven't used Android in a while but I assume it doesn't have this.

I've started getting these notifications on my Android device.

Each app that makes a location request in the background causes a notification that allows me to take away location access from the app, only allow location access when the app is in the foreground, or always allow location access.
I think I may have experienced a little of this. Made it to work everyday but it took every bit of will power to do the most basic of tasks. It's starting to lift now but I don't ever want to go there again.

The thing I don't get is while it had been over 5 years since I took a real holiday I wasn't working the same number of hours as my work mates. I had a brief peak of 80 hours a week + other commitments. Then I just didn't really recover. Took my first long holiday and my productivity is coming back.
There are fewer than 10 states that don't tax capital gains at the same rate as ordinary income.

You're right, they would be the ones that would benefit the most. Unfortunately, since many of them are already on disability and have prescriptions for certain drugs they'd likely be disqualified from service. Barring an actual WWIII scenario and a draft that would waive these restrictions, "join the Army" isn't an option.

To recount something happening.
Welfare reform was always bullshit. It was a compromise where the Democrats got some added benefits and changes, and the Republicans got the ability to cut off traditional welfare and transition people to Social Security Disability

This pushed the costs off the states’ books and the federal budget, and made the costs a problem for social security. It backfired as it created a permanent underclass and drove up Medicaid utilization and costs.
Further than that, medicine in general tends to the conservative by nature. I'm not sure this is a distinction with much value.
I have a little "share" button on my iPhone that invokes Youtube-DL via Pythonista, so I can open any Youtube video and get a locally saved copy pretty much instantly. I can use VLC to stream YouTube videos without ads.

There's a bunch of apps that let you load pretty much arbitrary code onto the platform - Pythonista and Scriptable are two of the top ones (Python and JS interpreters respectively), and with those you can do quite a lot.

It's not the same experience - that I'll grant you - but if you're moderately a power user iOS gives you enough to work with.
> Why isn't the next layer of abstraction simply what is being termed as "No Code" today?

Cynically? Because people were also selling "no code" ten years ago, or even further back.

I know that sort of inductive argument doesn't actually work. We went through a dozen nonsense models of infections, but germ theory was actually correct in the end. AI has seen frauds and baseless hype since the mechanical Turk, but there still came a point when computers won at chess and Jeopardy. But it's a pretty good warning sign.

The gradual progression of abstractions still caps out somewhere around Python and Rails. We have drag-and-drop website makers, and visual tools for "plumbing" ML flows backed by pandas, or engineering calculations backed by Matlab. They mostly work, and people who know the underlying tools sometimes use them for speed while mixing in actual code as needed.

Meanwhile, promises of codeless business apps don't seem rooted in any of those advances, and continue on from their dysfunctional predecessors. And people actually making business apps in a hurry pull from NPM or PyPI without ever touching "no code" tools. It seems like we might get much closer to that layer within a decade or so, but I don't think we're there yet.

> Both rust and go decided to go with Unicode support that is largely based around utf-8 with free transmutations to bytes and almost free conversions from bytes. This could have been Python 3 but that path was dismissed without a lot of evidence.

What do you mean by "free"? Rust requires you to explicitly convert a string to bytes or vice versa, no? Which is pretty much what you do in Python - the only difference I can see is that you have shortcut methods to encode/decode using UTF-8, but semantically they're no different from encode/decode in Python.

I'm pretty dubious about specifying that the internal representation must be UTF-8. That's a failure of abstraction (because the program shouldn't know or care what the internal representation is), leads to inherent performance/interop problems on several compile targets (Windows, the JVM, Javascript), and seems to imply that Han unification is forced at the language level.

I figured it might be interesting to submit this again given recent discussions about Mercurial's Python 3 port. This blog post of mine is very old (from 2011) and a lot of what's in that blog post is no longer at all relevant.

> This was the reason I was an android guy until my wife told me to just get a phone that works.

I have not heard anything that suggests Android phones work less than iPhones. That's certainly not been my experience, anyway. I've been using Android phones for 10 years now and they've always worked just fine. And I can sideload things, which I still do, and wouldn't want to give up.

> Not letting you side load is a feature.

I absolutely do not see it that way.

>If apple allowed easily sideloading apps I would consider moving over.

This is definitely the major pain point. For device owner controlled root software cert (and independently device owner controlled hardware cert too) I'd certainly like it to be an option of some kind, because there are real tradeoffs between security and configurability here. It could for example be restricted to an order-time config, or maybe a one-time significant charge. I could even accept certain kinds of measures by Apple to combat piracy and cheating, with owner signed apps segregated somewhat say or some low level signing merely to indicate that it wasn't a restricted device. But it's definitely objectively proved to cause real problems to have Apple be the sole legitimate gatekeeper. A single central point can be an advantage in resisting certain kinds of attacks, but simultaneously a disadvantage in being subject to other kinds of social and economic pressure. Jailbreaking has also demonstrated lots of extremely useful functionality and apps that aren't allowed vanilla.

Unfortunately I doubt it gets resolved without legislation mandating that hardware owners should have the option to load root level signing certs, which leaves everyone forced to make some hard tradeoffs. Hopefully society eventually catches up with that, but in the mean time one ameliorating factor is its becoming ever more feasible to just own a couple of devices for specific purposes thanks to the improvement curve flattening out. Particularly with Apple, they've got long enough support cycles now that getting a 2-3 year old phone still leaves at least a few years of support but the discount vs new hardware is high too.
Ironically the ones I purchased are all folding models. In some ways the folding models are the worst weight wise, the extra hardware needed to strengthen the frame makes them incredibly heavy. I own a very nice Tern Vektron, one of the higher end folding electric bikes, and I've folded it once, it's just way to heavy for folding and carrying to be practical. I'd sooner walk than try and move it around a busy train, for example. The fold is really only useful for storage at home.
We used to make this sort of analogy a lot at a web dev place where I once worked. Eventually it got boiled down to a pithy joke: "Ruby on Rails is great, but only if you stay on the Rails!"
>We only need a tiny percentage of men.

The question isn't how many we need, because need is relative. The question is how many we can employ profitably, and how profitably. (Hedonic adaptation will make us "need" them soon enough).

How many we can use profitably, and how profitably, is not fixed.
I always thought "no code" was a meme. Best example of "no code" were the traders I used to support working at a bank, they had these massive Excel sheets with weird macros that would break in non-deterministic ways.
There is a large double standard applied here that a man who don't work is checking out of society, but a woman who does the same is a productive citizen since she can produce babies.

We wanted and most of us still want equality in the work force with both women and men equality responsible to earn their place in society. The bread winner model is cultural obsolete, even through we still behave, and given many comments here on HN, still think in those terms. A mans role culturally remain to support his children and their mother. If he doesn't do this then we declare them as checking out from society, become hikikomori, an drug addict and hedonistically waster of time. Increased rates of depression and suicides only reinforce our belief that men must fulfill their role or they will only harm themselves and others.

So let me make a suggestion. Maybe it is time to change the culture.
