A dictionary app I use looks at the clipboard when opened and automatically displays a translation iff 1) the copied text is new compared to the previous time the app was used; and 2) the text is in the source language.

It's a pretty neat use of the feature, although I'd still gladly let go of it if it means that the other 20 apps I regularly use don't get to rummage through my clipboard for no good reason.
Holy hell. Thanks for this one.
Point of low code is to get rid of those smart ass developers who know those magic incantations and demand loads of money for their work.

What you get in low code reality are smart ass business consultants that know magic configuration options and demand loads of money for their work.

Just look at SAP, Salesforce etc.
From my point of view any barrier to entry doesn't matter because at some level you just trade one complexity for the other.

For non complex stuff excel works fine and low code is not advertised as alternative to excel.

> tax the international sale by %40

I'm not surprised. In general, import duties are around 60%, and that's not even the full story. The (foreign) company I work for sent me a development board once; when it arrived here I found out that, in addition to those 60%, I'd have to pay 18% state taxes. I was expecting this to add up to 78%, or even 1.6 * 1.18 = 89%, but in fact it's computed like (1.6 / (1 - 0.18)) = 95%.

Ostensibly, these tariffs are meant to protect the local industry from foreign competition. I heard that there are certain other countries trying to do the same; they should be careful what they wish for.
(i actually agree with this, it's just everyone else seemed to think it was an awful waste of government resources to fish a few people out of the wild a year, or whatever)
I don’t even have a TikTok account. I simply pay enough to have realized a long time ago that the contents of the system clipboard are available to the application that’s in the foreground on pretty much every OS I’ve used. Hence I have no need to jump to pearl-clutching xenophobia over it.

Okay, so you can check their academic CV and ask for colleague references. Quite another to ruin their professional career for a personal view on Twitter that isn't about planting bombs in black churches, or the like.
Julian Assange charged in superseding indictment
No. That’s logically flawed. We’ve seen this already, where this argument is being used to arbitrarily curtail all sorts of speech.

By this argument almost any idea you disagree with could be considered a threat, and honestly, it seems like it is human nature to sort of behave as if ideas that are ‘bad’ are a threat to my safety.

It takes effort to fight that impulse.

We need very narrow exceptions to free speech: specific incitements to violence seem to be one.
Facebook has not changed a bit, it was a glorified birthday reminder capturing as much personal data as possible and it still is.
Well except maybe that at some point it started to aim at replacing the internet on order to keep the investor storytime running, which had the interesting side effect of facebook putting a dictator in power[1].

>Should contracts be enforceable?

Sometimes yes, other times no they should be void or unenforceable. Quick example: an employee non-compete clause in California (which are illegal in California but employers include them regularly)

>Should we live in a world where people can take other people’s property with no recourse?

Like the colonist (and later Americans) took the property and land of native Americans?

Or like squatting where one party acquires legal title to property from the own after x years? This is generally legal.

Or like eminent domain where rich people get the local government to take private property on their behalf?

One of the great ironies the great capitalist Trump has quite the history of supporting The taking of lands /property to be given to developers, and the scary socialist Bernie sanders has fought against these acts to uphold Private property rights.
Can you explain more about writing JS in an FP style? I'd love to start to incorporate more FP in my JS but I don't really know how to start doing that. I've looked at fp-ts but it seems like that would require a full rewrite. Any tips for how to basically start from 0 and start to implement FP into an existing JS/TS codebase?
>big clunky thinkpad

Then don't buy a big clunky ThinkPad. The X series is far from clunky. Plus the devices can actually be serviced if they fail.
Then why do I see people from 2016 saying

> "Skype For Linux does not support group video calling" [1]

and articles from 2017 saying

> "The latest update to the Skype Linux client makes it possible to place group video calls on Linux, [...] Electron-based app [...] This is the first update to the popular VoIP app since Microsoft retired the Qt-based Skype 4.3 [2]

Plus I was personally there, trying to make group video calls from Linux in 2016. So I've seen this firsthand.

What makes you think what I say isn't true?

I'm not sure the City of London can be made to look like saints of financial regulation, given their previous problems with PPI mis-selling, and the disintegration of a number of supposedly "safe, well capitalized" banks in the 2007/8 crash.

Whilst you'd hope that lessons were learned, I'm not sure they were.
Language is a tool for programmer.

Restrict scale to pentatonic even for professionals (remove physical keys, holes etc). They would absolutely mess up otherwise.
On HN, if you disagree with a comment, you downvote it and punish the author. (Or, at least, that is the common way to respond, and for good reason - the only "disagree" button is the one that hurts the credit of the OP)

This especially hurts new commenters, whose credit is fragile (and who don't know the cap on down-votes). Which keeps the conversation "safe", and the lurkers quiet.

Cynical me thinks this is a reflection of a society that thinks we need to quiet (and punish) everyone who disagrees with them.

EDIT: Replaced "he" with a gender neutral term to be safe.
I wish everyone would just use Signal. Because Ratchet!
If google actually creates a good system for paying news media through e.g. microtransactions or group subscriptions which is ONLY there to improve the internet and doesn't benefit google (Get more traffic, get more user data, ...) then this is a good thing. It would be like the google/apple teaming up on the BT proximity tracking apis in android and iOS.

If google gets any cut in such a system, or even gets a slight benefit, or even knows who has what subscriptions and uses that information - then I'm completely against it. But if they spend their own money developing platforms that they then have no control over and no benefit from - good! Otherwise - bad!
This website looks absolutely amazing. The only thing that would improve it for me would be increasing some of the font sizes. Apart from that it is one of the most beautiful websites I have run across in a long while.

Taxes in Brazil are very low except for taxes on imports. It's not anti-capitalist within its own economy. The startup scene in Brazil is thriving.

Telegram is a really great app user experience wise, but I'm more preferential to Signal because I've read in-depth about the double-ratchet algorithm. Weren't there some concerns about Telegrams implementation or privacy issues or something with that app?
News papers business is selling ads, that’s Google’s Business too. Google has an advantage over individual publications in that it can track user behaviour across multiple sites. So news outlets have made deals with google to act as brokers for their ad space giving google more power and the ability to effectively set ad prices. Google regularly throws news organisations pitiful sums of ‘innovation’ money for PR purposes whilst creaming multiple times that amount off their revenue streams. It’s going to take a brave publication to question the value of Google’s algorithm and bring ad sales in-house but I think that’s the only way out of this situation.
Try Discord if it happens again, it's great for gaming.

Personally I only keep Skype around for one specific customer.
agreed. i don't view people like him as competition at all, as their and my interests in the dating pool are nearly completely disjunct.

that said, no one ever asked for anyone's "judgements" ever-- not here, nor anywhere else. but yet they have this shiny "comment" button, and i guess i just can't help myself... welcome to an online forum, where people share judgments (among other things).
Billions of dollars just turned out not to be there. I'm going to throw out a challenge to the idea that the "little man" was the loser here on the basis that little men do not have billions of dollars to lose. Someone bigger than little lost here.

If every man, woman and child in Germany chipped in $1,000 that still isn't a billion dollars.
It could happen anywhere -- the US has it's share of cowboys too. WeWork, Thanos etc. Ireland too has had a few cowboys.

Merkel might have to step in to clean this up -- it's embarrasing because of the number of German institutions that protected this fraud. The German Financial Regulator went after professionally accredited investigative journalists and seemed to indulge in other face palms.
Because middle grounds don't exist?
Slow is in the eye of the beholder. Sure, for some applications, Perl blows Raku out of the water. Add in some Moose, and the situation is not so different. YMMV.
Most people aren't going around calling people who disagree with them an "enemy of the people". Nor do they insist on loyalty to a great leader. Many Americans, for example, prefer loyalty to the Constitution or a set of principles over loyalty to the president himself.

Echo-chambers might have the feature that they don't like dissent, but that doesn't mean everybody prefers echo chambers over open discourse, nor does it mean people in an echo chamber want to apply their echo chamber to the entire country, with a great leader in charge that everybody needs to be loyal too.

So no, you're wrong about that. Not everybody is automatically a fascist, and the word does have meaning. There's a very clear difference between fascist leaders + followers, and the people who disagree with them.

And yes, there are differences between Nazism Stalinism and Italian Fascism, but they have a lot more in common with each other than with liberal ideologies. Not every liberal is liberal in the same way, not every environmentalist has exactly the same priorities, not every conservative is conservative about the same things. Similarly, it's not so strange for there to be multiple interpretations/implementations of fascism. They may differ in details, but they're clearly related.
The utterer was a Chaplain. This is a main aspect of what they are hired for: to remind us of the moral judgments of the religious tradition they were trained in. They're not just psychotherapists who wear funny clothing, and they aren't PERSONALLY setting those rules about the virtuous life. Maybe you don't want chaplains, which is an argument, but that's separate.
the Wirecard Bank is a subsidiary, that has not filed for insolvency. (disclaimer: they are checking if they need to file for the subsidiaries as well - though my guess is they are trying to minimize the impact on the operations and bank transactions, to save the future of the product).
Regarding your second point, Windows 10 has a feature to lower the volume of other apps when it detects communication activity.

I got bitten by that using another VoIP client (not Skype).
Doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

Worked for a fintech company a few years back that used Wirecard as the processor for one of their products. Somehow they managed to lose the PK/FK relationship between accounts and transactions (or something like that). A whole lot of our customers suddenly started getting other people's transactions on their accounts. It was the final straw that shutdown the entire product line and we moved on to other providers for new projects.

So, not at all surprised they don't know where their money is.

It's about the same size as the group of Apple apologists, neck deep in the reality distortion field, claiming that Apple is infallible and that you're holding it wrong.

AFAIU the Democracy Index is based on, essentially, people making up numbers.

The broad classifications are probably alright, but I wouldn't pay much attention to the specific rankings.
Corrections? LOL.

"The A12X/Z has ~18MB of L1+L2+System cache."

The A12X/Z has 256KB of L1 cache per core, 6MB of L2/3 cache shared by all cores.

(256*8)+6144 = 8.2MB of L1+L2 cache.

It has no L3 cache. I don't know where you invented this so-called "system" cache, but are we now ridiculously adding GPU core caches or something absurd? Knowing this argument, probably.

The 855 has 512KB of L1 cache, 1,768KB of L2 cache, 5,120KB of L3 cache.

512+1768+5120 = 7.4MB of cache

You seem to be pulling numbers out of your ass, so refuting the rest of the bullshit you're inventing is a rather futile exercise. But keep on talking about "fanboys". LOL. You came straight form some sad AMD-rationalization website.
While this case is bad enough, mistakes like this are not the biggest concern. Mistakenly arrested people are (hopefully) eventually released, even though they have to go through quite a bit of trouble.

The consequence that is much worse would be mass incarceration of certain groups, because the AI is too good at catching people who actually did something.

This second wave of mass incarceration will lead to even more single parent families and poor households, and will reinforce the current situation.
At first I thought this was about some central licensing body regulating and awarding credentials to journalists, just like is done in professional endeavours like medicine, engineering, and law. I was internally debating the merits vs. the dangers (self-regulated or government controlled? Do we want official state-approved press?).

Then I realized that it was purely about a distributor musing about paying content providers in the hopes they can influence it, at least ostensibly for "quality".

I see nothing wrong with the idea. Money is our way of measuring value, and information certainly has value and Google has been making mint extracting the excess value from information for a long time, to the point that little actually leaks through to the end consumer.

I thinks this move would increase the quality of news, but the consumer needs to understand that the product they are consuming is influenced by the media through which they consume it. Whoever pays the piper calls the tune, as they say.
Exactly. I think seeing people being attacked is also causing others to double down. I don't know what to expect, but I wouldn't be surprised based on my conversations with conservatives who have been mostly silent if it backfires again and Trump wins in a landslide.
Perl 6 / Raku did achieve its goal of a programming language that kept all the good parts of Perl, and remove it warts, making it ready to become the 100 year programming language.

In my opinion, the failure is in the timing of the process, and keeping the Perl community involved in the process.
Krita is one of my favorite open source projects. I discovered it by accident while learning about pixel art, it's quite popular for Indy game development. I really appreciate it's polished interface that is not always a priority in OSS.
No it was some random debugging of Leet Code style excercise, some useless math computation. I just was throwing every possible change, till one worked. I knew that code had to be fast than it was, because with PGO it was very fast.
Nice effort! Looks slightly off in my desktop safari browser, but I imagine you're working on css tweaks :)

I don't think this is feasible since you would need constant appeasement and the source of offense often cannot be deconstructed by argument. For an idealistic approach it is well intentioned, but that would gradually shift the level of accepted speech towards a form of orthodoxy. The stigmatization of feeling superior for more eccentric speech is an example of that actually.

Look at history where the "moral" authority suppressed speech, it will end up just like that. There are also people that lie about being offended. Reaching out is falling into a trap in that case.

The dichotomy of these "routes" is wrong. A discussion must not be an argument, even if internet exposure lets you believe otherwise, but it can be.
Am I doing something wrong, or is that subreddit essentially empty?

Also, aren't cyberdecks the complete opposite to these devices? They strike me as a multi-purpose device like any laptop, but in a different form factor and maybe a bit more optimized for hardware hacking?
It wouldn't make it into the newspapers, so it doesn't matter.

Guangzhou is usually reported as larger than Shenzhen.

A specific issue with the population of Chinese cities, though, is that the administrative 'city' division in China can be quite larger than what might be expected in the West.

> Which does nothing unless you already have Zoom installed

At least on desktop, even though the help text explicitly says "If you have Zoom Client installed", you can actually click the Launch Meeting button/link to reveal a hidden option for joining the meeting without actually installing (which requires an additional click). I imagine this never shows up if you actually install; they're just trying to get people to install unnecessarily.
elementary OS has something similar to what you're proposing.

All the apps created specifically for elementary OS[0] are available on GitHub, authors set their preferred price in the app store. As a user you can pay-what-you-want for the app (including $0, which allows you to download an app without paying for it).

They're working on an online account feature for the next release so that they can remember your credit card to make the process more streamlined, persist between installs and similar. At the moment, it's more convenient to specify $0 than it is to enter your card over and over again.

You can also skip the AppCenter all together by specifying the package name (example: "apt install com.github.alaim23.planner").

I often find that those whose favorite rethorical tool is lying much prefer to slander their opponents rather than attempt to refute their points.
This was obvious from the beginning. Trump was asked about the NIH grant on 17 April, and responded that he'd look into it and possibly cancel it.[1] Two days later, the NIH emailed the EcoHealth Alliance, referencing conspiracy theories about the Wuhan Institute of Virology and asking for additional information.[2] A few days later, the NIH told the EcoHealth Alliance that the grant, titled "Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence", does not "align with the program goals and agency priorities".

Just let that sink in: the NIH claims that understanding the risk of bat coronavirus emergence does not align with agency priorities. The excuse for canceling the grant is laughable.

This is widely viewed as a major attack on the way that science is funded in the US. Politics sets the overall funding priorities, but experts decide on which specific grants to fund. The president intervening to cancel a particular grant that has already been awarded - based on positive reviews by experts - is an attack on this system.

In response, 77 US Nobel laureates in scientific fields have demanded an explanation for the cancellation of the grant.[3]

> China jurisdiction is not supranational

It absolutely is.
> but that's not a solution to the housing problem at all and strongly disincentivizes investment in housing.

It would strongly support homeownership.

If “owners” couldn’t buy up multiple properties and become landlords but could only own 1 homestead...then property values would drop and renters would be capable of affording to own in mass.

Unfortunately, we are about to see in short order what happens when renters stop paying rent in mass and landlords stop paying mortgage in mass.

Hint: the renters and owners (collectively “taxpayers“) will both be robbed by their representatives again, and congress will bail out banks (again) so the banks can foreclose (on owners) and evict (renters).
You are trying to say you can infer racism, and you need to do that to identify the racists because they won’t speak their racism openly?

Can you see how that is a recipe for attacking people and ruining their lives based on something that in the end might be imagined?

Do you see how easily that becomes ... anyone who disagrees with any opinion I have is evil?
I don't to digital painting and art and I still prefer Krita. Although prefer is the wrong term, I despise GIMPs botched, unituitive and cumbersome UI so much, I'd rather code a figure in html/javascript and canvas or svg, before I'd use GIMP. Krita on the other hand is relatively nice to use.
I miss a mention to overpopulation. If you don't have a nice environment around you, any newborn is bound to live and grow up in poverty. At the end breeding is a private choice, so the cause of poverty ultimately is that parents choose to have children despite lacking a fertile environment.

It's called media manipulation: US government has perfected a way to manipulate knowing and unknowing media outlets to spill out the news that serves their goals. Unsuspecting public just goes for it, especially since it's all too easy too fall into the self-righteousness (look at those nasty people doing that, they are nothing like us).

Internet was a tool that allowed all sides to be equally heard (the fact that it was abused to disseminate fake news supports that claim even more), so only now it's too obvious what's going on.

Oh, and other governments and organizations are catching up quickly with the same practice.
Philosophically speaking. A text only website plus some SVG markup is still considered a text only website?
