Apple will never give in and implement webpush on mobile safari because that would affect their precious app store. How will they extort developers then? That's also the reason mobile safari is so limited in other features.
Agreed. When I'm interviewing someone, any negative remarks about past employment (or anything really) would be a huge red flag, regardless of the actual merit of the remark. In my opinion, this is just not something smart people do (being negative during the interview), and my main objective during an interview is to determine how smart one is (not to mention being pleasant to work with). They can bitch about their past employers over beer in a bar - after they've been hired.
I'm planning on using Godot for my next game but I hate the scripting language. It feels ad-hoc and I can't stand the absence of anonymous functions.
I guess this means the web is lawfully seen as belonging to the public which seems both good and bad, because while it might be publicly accessible as a whole, each individual site is privately owned.

I'm pretty sure with any brick and mortar business, as a business owner you are legally allowed to disallow service to anyone without having to provide a reason.

That would be the equivalent of allowing to block bots / unwanted traffic on your site, except the brick and mortar case is way easier to prevent. If the person won't leave your physical business, you can have them removed by the police but to prevent a bot the burden is fully on you as a site owner.

When you know that the features you're interested in can be made easily available by a simple web app.
read my post again, you clearly don’t have enough media to be a problem. on all devices both the google play app and youtube timeout or lock the device up due to the amount of media i have. garbage is an understatement considering how much i spent with them and that I can’t even view any of it anymore without watching on a full desktop / laptop
You should read the book. Simons had almost nothing to do with the strategy (he managed money in the 80s, he got lucky but it didn't go well generally). They tried several complex ideas, none of them worked. And the advantages they had were doing simple things well (better execution, having better data, etc.).
Always look at the source code (or even the CPU load).

One of those C++ comparisons is currently multi-core vs sequential.

Several C++ programs were recently removed, which upends things. You might say — "there were faster than [Rust] versions that were rejected".
I think his point is there's some types of data that only have a very limited utility, and we shouldn't necessarily getup in arms about. Yes, Amazon can tell when I turn my lights in my house on and off via Alexa. Do I care? No. Amazon is seeing where adn when I tap on my Kindle to help me estimate read times, improve the UI, etc. Do I care? no.
You are completely misunderstanding the argument.

Lets say the current price for insulin is $200. I see this margin, and say "I can produce insulin for cheaper, and I'm happy with selling it for $50". The government is placing restrictions on new competitors, so I can't just come in and sell insulin for $50. There is a restriction on competition, which causes artificial prices
I wonder how much of this data is being used by politically motivated operators to surveillance their opponents and other inconvenient people. In the US there are a lot of partisans who will do anything that benefits their party (or their own wallet) and will happily pass the data on. I bet a lot of this is already going on with NSA and other agencies’ data without nobody ever knowing.

Pretty scary future we are walking into and it seems there is no way to stop it.
My water is 4-10C at its coldest. For me if it gets above 15C it doesn't have the same effect.

As cold as possible is best.

It is already part of the guidelines.
Can you elaborate on this? I’m not following.
I'll bite. So how do we fix it? Most people just want to live their life and not fight the powers that be. Only when things get really bad to people stand up in numbers. Voting for change is just living "Animal Farm" in real life.

I'm not trying to be snarky or cynical. I'm really not sure how we exit this spiral.
It's still there.

Try logging in. You might have to reset your password, but the bastard's haven't really deleted it.
Yes that is something I plan to address by switching to another blogging platform. If you look at the GA ID you'll notice it's not mine and it belongs to my blogging platform (which apparently enables GA with their own ID even if you don't provide a custom one instead of just disabling the feature).

Edit: I have now deleted the DNS records so the website will be down until I have time to fix this properly.
No, I'll happily just scrape your site instead. But if you'd rather not have that happen, provide an API.
How Much Are We Paying for Our Subscription Services? A Lot
Rdio was amazing. I use Apple Music now (family plan) but I would pay probably $25/month to have Rdio back. Rdio had the best features for following other people who had similar interests to me and seeing what they were currently listening to. It was amazing. And it was an experience using Rdio. I would be in the app during my work day quite a lot seeing what music there was to discover. Music discovery was never better. I want Rdio back!
Apache Druid on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Reference Architecture
It's banned in all countries except 2 I believe
It looks impecable. But without the explanation I think I would never guess the inspiration. With the explanation, my first expectation was that the website would be titled and distorted on the edge.
There is a book that explains what Baum did (it wasn't this).
@hadley Your response to the tidyverse question was quite candid. Thanks for that! Hopefully Rstudio becoming PBC helps a lot of skeptists to support more!
My favorite piece of TCL/Tk code is the official gitk git UI that comes with git and works on Linux and Windows; it's the single file here: https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/gitk-git/gitk
It doesn't have lambda, even the bad lambda from python.
I'm pretty okay with the Spotify app nowadays. It used to be worse, I think, now I'm rather annoyed by the not that great UI/UX design (everything is way too large, I don't see shit, man).
From my own (limited) experience, a 25-minute build time seems pretty unusual for an Alpine image pulling in Python dependencies. The lack of wheel support on Alpine definitely seems like a compelling argument against using it for Python apps, but that build time indicates to me that some confounding factor might be at play here. Maybe matplotlib and/or pandas are just way bigger than the libraries I've pulled into Alpine images before? Curious to hear what others think.
I get a joyous, almost dreamlike experience out of being a noob, I love to try things for that feeling of difficulty. There is this rapt appreciation that comes with it, even if I don't personally get good at the thing.

Ambling about like a dunce myself, trying to gain some knowledge or skill, and watching professionals do it makes me feel in awe. I am overcome with love for humans reaching for the divine, like Faust pondering future human goodness and joy of participation in human life (as he dies).
I don't understand how this kind of situation is legal. Like isn't the whole framework that the office is making people enter into contracts so non-conducive to the premise of a legal agreement that it nullifies it?

If being made to sign a contract that you can't read doesn't go against the premise of a contract than what does?
Myst Almost Couldn't Run on CD-ROM
To be a somewhat believable alternative to nuclear, you'll also need tons of batteries. Many, many tons of them, full of lithium and cobalt and other things. Because a solar plant produces power along a very steep bell curve centered around noon, while a nuclear plant produces linearly exactly the amount you're asking for 80 to 95% of the time.

This is only alluded to in the article, but intermittency is a major nuisance and hinders significantly actual utility of renewable power, because we need a base level of production they're totally incapable to provide unless backed with literal mountains of storage (storage technology at scale we don't know how to build or manage today).

I always read things I'm about to sign, even if it annoys the staff. It's too much of a risk to just agree and hope all will be Okay. I'll not sign stuff that has clauses about binding arbitration or mandatory data sharing with other organisations.

I was signing up for a phone and started reading the T&Cs. Two pages of super small text. The staff member was surprised and said "No one reads that, it's just standard stuff". After a few minutes he starts pressing me to sign it as their system will cancel a signup not completed within five minutes. I doubt that 5-min timeout was a deliberate attempt to coerce people to signing up without reading the terms, but it certainly shows just how little people care about that stuff if they don't account for reading time in their signup process.
I can understand that there are a limited number of people who can understand and apply the math necessary, but not that it could remain proprietary for 30 years.

Usually if a company has secret sauce, someone will leave and spin off on their own. Even Google can't retain everyone.
So unless I'm missing something, any explanation has to account for why this hasn't occurred here.
I don't understand how putting personal music libraries into a "downloaded music" ghetto ticks any more than the bare minimum requirement of 'bringing them along'.

My personal music collection should be front and center.
Please not that I am personally more pro scraping that anti. However, this article's interpretation of this ruling (which is from September 2019) is overblown and suspect:

1) This is the 9th circuit only. The 9th circuit is known for being very liberal in these kids of rulings. There is a high likelihood that this ruling could be interpreted differently in other circuits and when it goes to the supreme court.

2) Saying "it makes it legal" is more of a technicality with this ruling and NOT practicality. There is still a LOT open to interpretation with this ruling (see 1, above). And lot of what it's saying just isn't found in the case. And again, it doesn't apply everywhere.

3) This is actually a much better summary of the case: https://www.natlawreview.com/article/data-scraping-survives-... In fact, there's a number of better summaries are out there by people who actually understand both technology and law from when it happened (again, back in September 2019). Here's some others:

https://www.cooley.com/-/media/cooley/pdf/reprints/2019/2019...

https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20190909/17571342951/big-n...

Honestly, it comes back to a lot of existing issues, like whether facts can be copyrighted (e.g., this is why recopies alone can't be), whether logins imply privacy, etc.

I personally think the ruling is in the right direction but again, I don't think this source deals with any of the complexity or the reality of what the ruling does (or still doesn't) mean.
I do hot-cold-hot, so:
stage 1: hot, get clean (soaps)
stage 2: cold (focus, empty mind, ~1m)
stage3: hot (reset, new day feeling, sometimes I save hair conditioner for this step, ~2m)
My showers take ~10m.
I don’t know much about RN or Flutter; but why is it “insane” that flutter cant exist in 10 years but RN will still be king?

Why can’t RN die within 10 years? Because it’s been around since 2013 vs 2017? Because you like one more than the other?

I have concerns about Google’s commitment to Dart/Flutter, but I’m not sure one scenario is pants on head insane and the other just fact.
That's a cute hack!

I tried several approaches to this problem, with an ESP8266 and a water-flow measurement on the intake, via a microphone/vibration sensor catching the spin-cycle, and finally via measuring electrical consumption (again on the spin-cycle).

Sadly I had to remove the setup, but it was a fun project that took a few months of iteration to get working.
Every other western nation can accomplish it because the US is paying for, and performing the vast majority of drug discovery research (publicly and privately funded). US citizens are subsidizing the healthcare of all of those other countries.
Not at the moment, but we have an equivalent integration planned shortly. Totally agree with you that building a search UI is still a pain.
The title is title case. Standard would be capitalized regardless of the context.
One thing is that ZFS tells you exactly what file is corrupted. I recently took over a ZFS setup that was built with plain ZFS on top of a 24-drive wide RAID6. Drives failed, rebuilt the RAID6, nothing appeared to be wrong. ZFS scrub revealed two corrupted files. I was able to pull backups of those two files, replace them on the FS, and rerun the scrub.

Obviously I moved off the RAID6 soon after, but this is a powerful example of why the checksuming of ZFS is so useful.
So, the reason they've got branded pens is that the drug reps are allowed to give them pens, so they do. Trivial low value gift. Historically the doctor wouldn't remember HealthyHeart brand beta blockers because of the 40 cent pen but because they paid for his two week safari. Most of the world banned that, but not so very long ago. My nurse friend didn't spend a penny of her own money on big birthday events when she was younger, drug reps paid for everything. (In the NHS system some nurses have full prescribing powers I presume some US nurses likewise but even if not it's the same for doctors)
The politicians solution: create another law.
The economists solution: create more competition, probably by getting rid of some laws. I guess JB Pritzker knows more about politics than about economics.
Except part of the reason you have mostly packaged, mass produced crap is because of your own regulations which specifically try to block the US market to protect your home markets.

That's besides the point though, you said US food isn't as healthy as EU food. You didn't say "imported, mass produced stuff isn't as healthy as fresh EU produce and meat". I was simply saying that you are getting a very skewed perception of US food if you are only comparing against imported US food.

US food in the US is generally high quality.
It means that if they're offering free samples and refuse to offer you the same service they're offering to other customers they might be in hot water - which is consistent with what a lot of folks consider ethical. Offering an item for free to some folks and not to others is a form of discrimination - it's usually not a particularly troubling form of discrimination but in this case Google is allowed to walk up and take all the samples and the grocery store manager just smiles and nods - but when you (hiQ in this example) try and get one you're hit with an injunction and barred from entry.
Humans are wonderfully adept at compartmentalizing, I think because comprehensive consistency checks are expensive, which leads to presence of conflicting beliefs and necessity of cheap ways to resolving them. There is no cheaper solution to a problem than ignoring it.

If we offload consistency checks to machines, which get our goals and values as input and then grade decisions on how they stack against all values, much of bullet biting would ensue...

Nah, who are we kidding. Most people will keep resolving machine-revealed inconsistencies using the same tried and true method. "I value consistency" / "I'm a kind person who values animal welfare" / "I like hamburgers" is merely another set of contradicting things to compartmentalize away. You don't even have to pick two. Just have it all and flex the ignoring muscle.
They use the word once to say “we did a deep dive”. It’s never mentioned again.
Prometric
Yeah, but this is slightly different. This is about a business owner trying to control who can look through the windows.
I wonder what this means.

I have benefited a lot from R, Rstudio.

But what impact does this have? Are there legal remedies now available to users if they feel Rstudio has strayed from the charter?

fwiw, I have the impression that the team there is quite civic minded, so this is really a question about the law, and not some sort of implication about their motivation.
I'm looking at the radio tab in Apple Music right now, and it is not exactly what you're describing. The first row is shows from Beats 1, which might be what you mean, but the next row is "Recently Played" radio stations, which will include both stations you start from songs/albums (a la Spotify) as well as any of the dozens of Apple Music's genre-based radio stations: mine currently has "Chill" (ambient electronica, "Classical Holiday" (Christmas), "1990s Rock" (self-explanatory), and "The Rippingtons" (based on that jazz group). The next sections include other shows, broadcast radio like NPR and CBS News, snd radio by genre.

tl;dr: the Apple Music Radio tab is radio all the way down, either stations or shows. It's exactly what it says on the tin.

The For You tab, by contrast, seems to be very similar to the way you describe Spotify's home page, doesn't it? Mixes which are based on your preferences along with your recently played songs and albums.

The article's author doesn't want to ever use For You or Radio, evidently, which is fine, although I think it misses out on one of the primary reasons to use a streaming music service (discovery).
Interesting. That link seems to say they aren't even really confident what staining is, it could just be the fluorescin dye binding to the eye. My friend wears Night & Day (SiHy) and rarely takes them out at night, replaces them maybe every 1-2 months. Mostly no issues or burning, although he did get a corneal ulcer one time, and he has seen increased neovascularization.
It's in the side bar, at the bottom. I agree with the original comment. That's quite poor design. Unless I'm seriously interested, I don't waste time looking at sidebars, let alone the bottoms of them
It is the point. But it isn't the billionaire bit that matters. It's that PG is a celebrity on HN. He wrote this forum and most of the early posts were his blog posts. HN used to be all startups and tech all the time. Before Y-Combinator was successful PG was already a celebrity here who would get auto voted up. Before that it was /. Then Reddit I guess but I missed the golden year for Reddit. There are other HN celebrities PG just happens to be the founder.

This isn't Billionare worship it is celebrity worship. And it's caused because PG has written enough things insightful enough that people can feel their minds changing as they read, that they will reflexively upvote.

I hate seeing anti-wealth rhetoric on HN. If the point is wealth doesn't matter then the criticism ought to be more substantive then 'aye, he's just popular because he's a billionaire'. HN is one of the only places I know of where ambition has been celebrated. I get that startups and the startup culture didn't turn out to be a necessary good thing so there's some cynicism there. But we can do better than demonizing the money, a result, rather than causes.

(Anyway, I think I'd like to join lobste.rs)
Why did Apple have to sacrifice the old Music app, that was designed around a traditional library of files, to make the Apple Music app?

It used to be that an iPhone was also an iPod. An iPhone now, especially with Apple Music, is nowhere close to that experience.
> One fundamental reason is that ZFS is philosophically and practically opposed to rewriting existing data on disk; once written, it wants everything to be completely immutable

ZFS was not philosophically opposed to those ideas. They were just dropped at some point.
That's what I don't understand when people criticize frameworks like React Native... "I didn't like that I had to build 15% of the app in native code, so I ditched RN and now have to write 100% of the app in native code, but twice and in two different languages"?
Knuth's Mail Policy
As you say, the incentives are out of whack. I'd say the other difference the defined benefit tend to have an extra layer of cost in them. Maybe this can be paid for strictly with the surplus but when it can't, they start chasing. I've always found defined contribution to be more fair (why can't my children benefit from my hard work?) and by definition lower cost.
Multi-stage container builds are also not exactly unusual. You would generally not want an entire C build system sitting around in your container.
So many people think there is a way to beat the market but no one outside of a handful have over the course of their life.

I just sat in a stand-up listening to my peers talking about making $20 or $60 on an Apple or Nvidia trade they made, and I'm like dudes you can make thousands in dividends a year and hardly look at your portfolio.

This is just straight naive, please do not bet on stocks based on your 'inside information.'
i see lots of business ideas popping up in this thread
Correct me if I'm wrong, isn't that how whispersync works now?
Sure. But what if the entire world doesn’t want to learn JavaScript? What if you don’t already know HTML, CSS, and JS? RN makes ZERO sense at that point.

As a C developer, man, Flutter looks pretty damn logical!
Damn, that's a nice one as well :D

As a side-note, I'm quite disappointed that r/DMT does not pop up when starting with r/JoeRogan...
This reminds me about Twitter, when I click to see a thread for a tweet it asks me to login, but if I open the link in a new tab it loads the thread just fine.
The autism bit aside, it looks like why they got him in the first place was that a technique he used (spoofing) was illegal in the US.

Given he lives in England why was he extradited to the US? Is the summary that US has enough political power to have anyone who breaks US law wherever they are situated extradited and tried here?
And nobody agrees with you.
Cooking it would still sterilize whatever was rotting it, wouldn't it?
I guess we can agree to disagree -- I consider JavaScript a web technology.
The US would need about 50x500km !
Something in common between both the modern "music" app from apple and google music app (android) is both try to push streaming services and there's no way to disable or block that.

Making them both VERY unsuitable to a device where a child has access.
Say more.

Do you mean "The Man Who Solved the Market: How Jim Simons Launched the Quant Revolution" which I read, or another book?
Can someone explain to me how PBCs are structurally different than "regular" for-profit corporations? What's stopping them from turning "evil?"
At least the lack of built-in tracking. In addition, the (theoretical) possibility to install any anti-tracking apps available for GNU/Linux.
The tk framework has had some improvements in 8.5 when ttk was added that modernize the framework. You can make really attractive Windows now with ttk on Linux now that wasn’t possible before.
Mostly, yes. The newer insulins (well they've been around for 20 years) have molecules which are engineered be faster acting so that they reduce peaks in blood sugar after meals; or longer lasting, so they can provide a more predictable background coverage.
Ignoring the right versus privilege debate, It's just humane to provide resonably priced access to a drug that was invented many decades ago the price of which was artificially kept high by abuse of the patent system. The R&D cost of which is certainly fully amortized by now.
Subset of a subset would be the first reason I would come up with.
Thanks. Part of the goal of my project is to get underneath assumptions and ideology. That is, I try to justify my conclusions based on evidence and research—at least the harder claims (as opposed to my somewhat more speculative comments about bigger-picture themes and deep causes).

I invite critiques of my factual conclusions, and I'm always happy to be taught something!
