Hate to be this guy, but things trying to be like this should implement a CSP with `connect-src 'none'` (and `form-action: 'none'` and `self` restrictions on everything else). Otherwise I can't be assured that the secrets won't be sent off without disconnecting my network interface.
I would group that under familiarity with test content. Maybe an opaque label on my part.
In that case it would be a trade off for their increased ability to deploy lethal force or imprison a person. Honestly, I'm thinking the trade off would still be weighted too much in their favor.

An alternative is to have it so police have no ability to detail, imprison, or use forced against anyone that you or I also don't have (and this would also extent to rights to be armed in places you or I don't have rights to be armed, and other similar rights).
They're doing the exact same thing the Netflix app does.
Fair enough. That makes sense. And Thank you for that.

In my case, I had a couple of back-to-back life-events that I just couldn't process/accept, (and frankly using alcohol to deal with the first probably lead to the second), but, then, hey! I was an addict! It probably took me 15~20 years to stop using that as my go-to avoidance technique (even though I knew how unhealthy/unuseful it was, I didn't really have another. Shame on me)
I'd love to see a built-in dark mode! I develop a SaaS-type control panel and many of my users spend hours a day interacting with it. Requests for a dark mode have been increasing over the last year, but restyling every built-in Bootstrap component feels clumsy.

What do you mean by this? I’m using ZoL and snapshots seem to be working fine.
It's interesting that despite the fact that walled-garden platforms are concrete examples of companies using their marketshare to rent seek and stifle competition, the recent anti-trust investigations have been going after more nebulously defined cases like Alphabet and Amazon.

EDIT: Of all the things that HN would consider controversial, I did not expect an inane comment on walled gardens to be it.
There's a whole industry that also got built around test prep, and it's pretty lucrative. the tutor that my friends and I had was really expensive, and she consistently had kids that were scoring near perfect on the SAT and ACT.
> having implicit nulls (C, C++, Java, JS, C#),

Incidentally, Java and C# have addressed (or are in the process of addressing) both issues. Both languages/platforms are superior to golang in almost every conceivable way.
Whimsical?
So what you're saying "actually does make sense" so long as it's a completely different subject than what one would normally assume in context, without you having mentioned such.

When people talk about 24 bits (and >48kHz) in the context of "audiophilia", it's generally about the data at rest and "HD audio" (aka 24 bit music files and downloads). Not about the bit depth of the processing pipeline for which it's generally acknowledged that yes, >16 bit depth does make sense for the audio processing pipeline (as well as the original recording).
Try reducing the scope of your projects, so that you can ride on your impulses. I find it a lot easier to maintain something I use than a half-completed project, so I try to get there as soon as possible. It worked really well for me.
There’s also Sister Catherine Wybourne, AKA The Digital Nun.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_pollution_in_Taiwan

> based on reports by the World Health Organization, that the air quality in Taiwan is generally the worst of all of the Four Asian Tigers, in particularly drawing attention to the annual mean PM10 level of Taiwan (54 micrograms per cubic meter). The annual mean PM10 level of the country's capital Taipei (47.1 micrograms per cubic meter) made the city rank only 1,089 among 1,600 included cities around the world. Based on 2004 data by Taiwan's Department of Environmental Protection, the annual mean PM10 level for Taiwan had, for the last decade, been worse than the European Union limit value (40 micrograms per cubic meter) every year.
I trust “activist judges” who aren’t subject to the whims and votes of “religious people” who believe that a book written over two millennium ago means that if they allow homosexual acts and “race mixing” that they will damn the country to hell.
How do you know? :)

The latency doesn't come from bluetooth radio part itself (there ARE low latency BT headphones after all).

It comes from the fact that all audio is encoded (usually into SBC or AAC or AptX), transmitted and then decoded in the headphones. And each of those steps has buffers. And those buffers are configured by the manufacturer.

The bigger the buffer, the more stable the audio connection - there's less stuttering, less dropouts. But every buffer in the chain adds latency.

So why can't you have both? You sure can. You just need to somehow find headphones and a PC that doesn't add latency to bluetooth. Sadly that's not something that's usually documented in technical specs.

Self-doubt is just as human as fear, anxiety, or loneliness. It helps when there's some social environment that helps counteract these bouts. By the same token, if the existing environment works to enforce these demotivating feelings, then one needs to acknowledge that it maybe "them", not you, and either build some mental defences or just move on.

Everyone one on the team should be allowed to make mistakes or take bad choices. Juniors, seniors, managers... we are all people, we're all engineers, we're a team! Cult of perfection is limiting to everyone. The manager's job is to recognize everyone's contribution, no matter how small.

Too often, the teams project a higher bar than is actually reachable. Sure it will lead to sense of inadequacy, for absolutely baseless reasons.
Here's the video you're referencing. And yes, it is chilling in its utter believability.

That jives with this article I found:

https://evrone.com/rob-pike-interview

> Rob: Although it's far from certain, after over a decade of work it looks like a design for parametric polymorphism, what is colloquially but misleadingly called generics, is coming in the next year or two. It was a very hard problem to find a design that works within the existing language and feels as if it belongs, but Ian Taylor invested a phenomenal amount of energy into the problem and it looks like the answer is now in reach.

Sounds like he took a welcomed step back. Hopefully the new leaders can deliver.
I believe RF based wireless headphones (like my Arctis 7 headphones) don't have this latency in them due to not being Bluetooth based.

There is some patented codec I think that does allow low latency bluetooth streaming (forgot the name) but that's not heavily implemented in my experience.
Replying separately to the tutoring anecdotes, you reminded me of someone I tutored who was having trouble learning the chain rule. He got it after going through (with supervision) a single example I assigned - calculate the derivative of sin(sin(sin(sin(sin(x))))). At which point he rather angrily exclaimed "why isn't that example in the book?!"

I'm not quite sure what the connection is, but the combination of

> Easiest tutoring sessions ever when they just needed some quiet space to read.

brought it back.
Just like USB type C, headphone jack and adapters.

There are ARM servers, Apple processors may become server processors. They could run iPhone, iPod applications on Macbook. Full day on one charge. Linux works fine on ARM. x64 in VM for compatibility.

It is the best time - Intel is record low with vulnerabilities and process - switch to AMD or switch to ARM.

I suggest to try an ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) intervention. Maybe later on pair it with MDMA.
I was not expecting to find this gem here:

"People choose what to do with their time based on opinions and ideals formed through the discourse they are exposed to. Much of the dialogue people are subject to comes from the mass media. The media uses language to make an impact on one’s everyday life, whether that be as small as helping to decide where to eat or as big as choosing a representative in government."

I would add it is also influenced by one's peers and friends.
I graduated around the same time. We got burned BADLY and I think people started paying attention around that time.
This is a weird accusation to make
But it is true that the word "slave" makes me feel bad about my Slavic ancestors being enslaved, and it makes me feel even worse that the name of their tribe has become to be used for such egregious practices. Not enough for me to complain at several language standards bodies, though, and I do understand the history of it. Just like Slavic people calling Germans "mutes" (Nemci) is offensive too, but as neighbours, they either met people who used "words" (slovo) or were unintelligible (nem meaning mute).

And I get your argument (yes, I am free to fight for the abolishment of the word "slave" in languages where it's derived from the root Slav), but "forcing" here is indeed happening through somewhat modern means: public, online, armchair shaming and harrasment. If you do not see that, you are dishonest imho.

As a case in point, you come with an argument how the word "master" (which is what the OP was about) is "making people feel bad" (I blame all those MScs too), but are you offended by it? Or at least heard from someone directly who is? Read an actual piece where someone describes it is so? If you do, please let me know that's the case, since otherwise I can only assume your goal is to shame me into appearing as if I have no empathy. If none of these, who are you arguing for?
Not sure this take feels right but it doesn't really feel sufficient to say "this time is different" either. It's pretty easy to come up with dozens of military based use cases but really difficult to find commercial ones. Possible use cases for say delivery still rely on human drivers (in delivery vans) or tele-operators for example so it's not clear there's a business case for using them.
Nested transactions can easily be done at the app layer, with a counter. As long as any rollback rolls back all outer layers.
I stopped at ‘Yes, he replies, but the defense attorney is yelling “objection,” and after a period of silence the judge tells you to forget that.’

In a real trial, as opposed to on TV, attorneys must state the reason for their objection. Notwithstanding, I get the point behind the article and it may be a good point, but this is sloppy writing, which can be a telltale for sloppy reasoning and sloppy conclusions.
Long term viability of SaaS solutions is definitely worth researching.

Is this something that's going to get acquired and be extinguished?

What are our switching costs?

How do we get our data in a format that can be: read into our data warehouse/lake and imported into an alternate service if necessary in the future?

How does Coscout compare to e.g. Crunchbase, PitchBook (Morningstar), YCharts, AngelList?
This way you can define evolution to mean absolutely anything, at which point the word loses its meaning.

If we stick to traditional, useful definition of biological evolution, then we can confidently say that it stopped being the driving force for plant and animal life no later than when we've first learned to communicate and remember ideas; we've made it irrelevant when we've learned to write. It still works on microscale, but that's mostly because things breed and die faster at that scale, there's more of it, and we can't efficiently poke at it with any sort of precision.
Exciting is not a criteria you should use in choosing a programming language. Go is boring, and that's a good thing for those using it, because they can get on with their real work without worrying about the language changing.

I'm pleased to see they've made this proposal even more boring and removed contracts.

The part about problems being either fun challenges or a nightmare really resonated with me. That's why pair programming is so important in my opinion, if you work too long in a silo the magic, fun, craft whatever of programming fades away. Just watching a coworker code or talking through problems with one can bring back that spirit of fun challenges though.
Engineer morale is super important.

Vulnerability vs Exploitability: Using Exploitability to Manage Vulnerabilities

Not true.

litElement (used by Polymer) uses tagged template literals and no vdom.
I think people underestimate how poorly Apple have conducted themselves throughout their app store's history. The iOS developer guidelines used to officially state:

If you run to the press and trash us, it never helps.

https://web.archive.org/web/20141226094343/https://developer...

What prompted such a bizarre official policy? Hundreds of cases of Apple unfairly, inconsistently and even stupidly rejecting apps, rejecting appeals, rejecting their own rules, stonewalling developers. All of this is apart from the platform abuse that caused their anti-trust cases.

One of Apple's diligent prudes discovered that the Kama Sutra was among the books Eucalyptus could access

I wouldn't suggest emulating it. His approach to review was to exhaustively detail every perceived bug in any particular file when someone touched that file. Preexisting issues unrelated to the change. Style warts unrelated to the change. Subjective opinions unrelated to the change. In his emails, every one of these was a "bug."

There is some value in suggesting adjacent areas for future work, if authors have time and interest, but BDE went well beyond that.

I think Bruce should be admired for his demonstrated desire to improve FreeBSD, and for his great attention to detail. But I would not like anyone to emulate his code review emails.
Depends on what you mean by performance. The same speed with double or triple battery life would be worth it.
I tried to install KDE onto OpenBSD and was greeted with a wildly out of date install; while they might not have a DE specifically sponsored on their website, it’s self evident which DE is preferred by the people that maintain and use the OS.

Gnome is updated to 3.36.3.1, while KDE is on the stale 3.5.10 in OpenBSD

In FreeBSD Gnome is updated to 3.28.2, while KDE is on 5.19.0.20.04.2

The Gnome on FreeBSD is 2 years stale, and KDE on OpenBSD is about 12.
Damn. This should not have happened. Thanks for that note:)
Will change that asap

DHH is very good at marketing and the theatrics are part of their roll-out strategy. It's also coordinated with this story [1]. The screenshot he posted from Apple actually undermines the whole thread because it makes it clear why it was rejected. If you download their app it just takes you to a login screen with no ability to do anything else in the app. Apple has a section in their developer guidelines for these kinds of "Reader" apps, but there are only specific categories of apps that fall under it [2]:

>3.1.3(a) “Reader” Apps: Apps may allow a user to access previously purchased content or content subscriptions (specifically: magazines, newspapers, books, audio, music, video, access to professional databases, VoIP, cloud storage, and approved services such as classroom management apps), provided that you agree not to directly or indirectly target iOS users to use a purchasing method other than in-app purchase, and your general communications about other purchasing methods are not designed to discourage use of in-app purchase.

Just out of curiosity, do you write HTML5/CSS inside a text editor with live reload or have you switched to builders like Bootstrap Studio, Webflow, Pingendo etc.?

Asking since I'm converting a design into a template for a Symfony app and when coding with Bootstrap from scratch I'm a bit lost. Even doing basic things like sticky left sidebar and overlapping top navbar (basic admin panel layout) requires lots of StackOverflow digging. Should I give up and just buy templates?
It’s also way easier when your top speed is a few cm/s
Do you use CSS or a preprocessor like SCSS? In the later it is mostly a matter of changing a few variables.
You write code for an audience. In that audience, sit yourself in your current state, yourself a year+ from now, your colleagues (you know their level) and the compiler. With bad luck, your current self i a state pulling your hair out to debug.

Think about the audience when you code.
> In code, a single typo breaks the whole thing.

Only in high-level languages, when you have to deal with grammar.

DNA is better compared to binary code fed to a CPU. There is no equivalent of "a single typo breaks the whole thing" there; whatever you feed the CPU, it will execute something. Whether you'll like the results or not is another question - but the same is true with biology. The DNA is there, physically, and it will interact with proteins in one way or another.
It's ironic that the one of the best forms of self improvement is to get over yourself, while the act of self improvement is often entirely self focused.

I think, though, that the author makes a really valuable core point: Most challenges are hard not because of the subject but because of our approach and perspectives. I can't think of anything important in life that doesn't benefit from the exploration of metacognition.
CSS custom properties would be a step in that direction. Although native dark mode support would be nice.
Well, T can be a pointer / reference here.
That’s my understanding!

Yep, I agree. Was just talking to my wife about Reddit. It's so slow now, especially on mobile. The page constantly crashes on my Android phone and they always recommend the app. No thanks.
I really enjoy nodes for tasks that require immediate visual or audio feedback - making shaders in Blender, designing waveforms in Max, etc. But there are tasks that I find dead simple when done with code, such as translating a math formula into an algorithm or parsing data, that become non-trivial to figure out in those same systems.
Actually I added the exclamation point because the original blog post title ends with one.
This seems like the mother of all selection biases to me. Of course you remember the Apple ][ because it was one of the first products in what became a wildly successful market. How many flying car prototypes do you remember? There have been several, and a whole new batch of electric versions are being designed right now, but so far people have been quite rightly skeptical of that product for the last 70+ years.
Never browse the web. There is no limit to the trouble and pain it can cause.

It appears that before you could have a subscription outside the store. Now you cannot, and Apple picks and chooses favorites (e.g. Basecamp and Netflix can have out-of-store subscriptions, but this new app cannot).
How would that work with an annual subscription, though?

Or do you mean that they have the in-app purchase of that subscription and then, instead of asking $99 they'd ask

$99.00 Subscription + $29.70 Apple Fees = $128.70

That would be clear and transparent, indeed. But it is also a bit of a finger to iOS users, though.
If you don't understand someone else's code, you can either tell them they stuff is too complicated or learn and understand better.
There can be a middle ground of course.
