I understand that. I'm just saying that there should be a middle ground between "give Facebook full access to my entire contact list" and "cannot use the app at all". For example, WhatsApp should be able to trigger a contacts picker, without needing to have access to the full list of contacts. And it could even be able to show a styled view for "the contact name for this phone number" without needing to know what the name is.

WhatsApp does work if you revoke Contacts permission after setting it up, but IIRC you can't onboard when you first install the app if you don't grant it. Forcing the granting of the permission should be against App Store rules.

I use WhatsApp after revoking its contacts permission and it's pretty much fine. As an aside, same with Signal, and I really don't understand why a supposedly privacy-focused app like Signal nags hard to get contacts permission when it works perfectly fine without; it even shows people's chosen nicknames next to their numbers.
Awesome! Resolves ambiguity pretty well.
git can be configured to ignore .DS_Store by default - in your home directory, make a .gitignore file using the usual format, then do "git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore".

Yeah, you're right. But still, the Olympus is water sealed and stabilized to like 7 stops. And it's still smaller and uses smaller bodies, even if not drastically.

That said, I don't like that Olympus lens. I don't have it and have no interest. Like you said, it's a bit silly and defeats the purpose of the format. But give me the 45 prime and I've got a camera with great reach that can nearly fit in my pocket.
Right. All the provided numbers tell us is that out of about 10 000 renters at least 50 and no more than 9750 broke their lease. We really need to know where in this range the real numbers are and where we'd expect them to be in a normal year.

Before somebody complains about my numbers, I did round values to make the math simpler. The real values aren't that far off.
Signal shows the nicknames next to the numbers which is a really nice feature and makes it pretty much perfectly usable without contacts permission, except that it constantly nags to grant the permission.
And what's the mechanism for them to want to collude?

I'm actually happy about this! With the recent decline of pretty much every UNIX vendor/platform and the now-deep proliferation of Intel/Linux, it's beginning to feel like MS/IE6 in the early 2000's all over again. We need diversity and competition for both OS's and processors (just as we did with browsers back then).

Whitehouse Considera Broad Intervention Ti Secure 5G Future
I have an unbranded clevo from 2013. About 2 years ago I accidentally shorted a thing powered on usb, so all power delivery over usb was fried (as in: most thumb drives work. External HDDs don't. The computer still works.

Apart from the keyboard more or less falling apart at this point and that the touchpad is megashit by today's standards I have been a happy user. It has survived a lot more beating than my wife's MacBook which seems to break when you look at it wrong.

This year I demoted it to be a home server with built in power redundancy (and screen and keyboard). I am very satisfied with that purchase.
Meanwhile my maxed out MBP 16 suffers from consistent kernel panics and reboots any time I plug into a thunderbolt dock. This is my first Mac after being in Windows land for a long time and getting fed up with recurring driver/firmware issues with my Dell XPS15 (fantastic hardware, terrible software/firmware integration though).

There are definitely things that are nicer on OSX, but there are also a lot of warts that people seem to gloss over. Finder is an absolute abomination as a file explorer and it boggles my mind that this is the best OSX has to offer after years of refinement. Having to install a separate utility to switch mouse scroll directions when using a BT mouse is also ridiculous. You have to shell out money just to have basic features your OS should provide like window management (Better touch tool / magnet).

External monitor rendering is really bad if you connect to a non HDPI monitor. Thunderbolt dock integration is pretty atrocious if you are trying to connect to more than one external monitor. And the OS keeps getting more locked down so opening a simple Word file takes > 5 seconds because of all the sandboxing going on in Catalina.

There are definitely things OSX / MBP does much better, but everyone acts like it is far superior to Windows-based laptops, and I have unfortunately been rather surprised at the large number of pain points I have had with my MBP... none of which have anything to do with me having spent more time on Windows.

There is a very good chance that a colleague of mine who has been a life-long OSX user and I will end up switching back to a windows-based laptop in a couple of years. Windows is far more dev friendly and with WSL2 + CUDA + GUI apps on the roadmap, a solid Windows laptop with an nVidia GPU looks like a much more interesting proposition even if I have to put up with some rough edges.

This is supremely relevant though. The docs basically say "It's supposed to work like X, but for Windows you need to do ABCEDFGHIJ". OC is just "Actually, X works on windows now."

This comment is rude, inaccurate, and not in line with the rules of HN.
If Git started not committing some files in a directory without user input, based on conventions of an OS or programming language that you might not be using, that would seem like quite the ad-hoc side-effect.

I would definitely vote for a way to incorporate sane .gitignore settings per-OS or per-language, but still make it opt-in.
Interesting, but curious, are there legality issues here or is the binary safely considered abandonware at this point? (I mean it is for the most part).

You literally just repeated his own point, but about his comment.
What's the relevance of whether eth clients work over Tor? A wallet's history would be available on a block explorer like etherscan.io whether the transaction had been broadcast over Tor network or not. I run a bitcoin node over Tor but it does not change how any money spent from that wallet is viewed by the network compared to spending from a non-Tor wallet.
How many other businesses are getting screwed by this? Are you saying it’s okay because “oh other companies kinda do the same thing”... come on... direct domain search goes to another domain.... that’s bad, super bad.

Yes.

If you work in a secure environment or support critical infrastructure there are teams whose sole purpose is to approve/deny releasing software regardless of who wrote it. Such teams will typically require source code, written justification, senior management signed approval, and test validation. In the case where source code is not provided, such as closed source commercial software, the vendor will be required to accept liability for all losses due to their software as ratified by a signed contract.
You have to be very good, because all the jobs are drying up.

X1 Extreme, sorry for the confusion. Edited the original.

The trackpad was a huge one for me. I really couldn’t bear it. I did like the ThinkPad keyboard though. The 135W charger was also a ThinkPad win. I would be tempted by a ThinkPad in the future if they could get anywhere near as good a trackpad as the MacBook.

Oh! Also the MacBook speakers and mics are lightyears better. The ThinkPad speakers are an embarrassing tinny downward firing mess. MacBook on the other hand shock me the sound comes from something so small (my 2015 MBP was already good and much better than 2019 X1E... 2019 MBP is totally another league.. made me stop packing Bluetooth speakers while traveling on some occasions).
Author of the article here - I completely agree. This text parsing problem came up because I was lamenting how many cycles were wasted in text processing. At my current job a text-based protocol from a 3rd party means around 80% of CPU time for the entire application is spent parsing and rendering text just for the protocol. JSON and HTTP come to mind too.

The human readability argument doesn't really hold any water because if you have a structured description of a protocol (e.g. a C struct), you can always write simple tools to inspect the protocol and make it just as humanly readable as JSON is. This is even easier if a language has reflection to generate all this code.
It's a solution looking for a problem. The reasoning behind IoC containers was the ability to deploy binaries and at the same time be able to simply configure them with manifests without having to recompile the binaries or rerun unit tests.

There is absolutely no reason to use an IoC container with a dynamic language. None, even when one is using Typescript.

This is an "ideological" framework where the "ideology" is forced at all cost, surprising since Angular creator was a Java consultant for Adobe and then Google.

Changing a little script takes zero effort.
That style seems similar to a number of other terminal games. I think it's just the natural pattern to grow more and more switch statements and arrays if you expand your game without major refactoring.

I destroy them with reckless abandon and, knock on wood, haven’t had an issue in 15-ish years of driving OS X.

I understand this perspective. I understand why people think that Windows is a hot mess, I has earned that reputation and them some.

I haven't had Windows do stupid shit in over two years. Updating it is a habit once in a while, possibly barely more frequently than it forces (unless I hear about a big vulnerability on HN). I'd probably be annoyed if I didn't understand how important updates were and kept postponing them (until it forced me to apply them, and it really does).

That's the only real complaint people really have of Windows these days. Then there's my complaint: Privacy.

Especially concerning Edge, that Microsoft keeps doing. It hasn't happened to me. Maybe because I have both FF and Chrome installed? Or some group policy I forgot I applied? I have no idea. During login a few days ago it asked for consent on a bunch of things that were previously opt-out, annoying for 2 minutes, but honestly healthy in the long run and a needed change.

Apple wins the privacy war any day of the week, but Windows really is Apple without the little annoyances. If you configure it like I did (and I couldn't tell you how).
Extended attributes are lost by a lot of mechanisms of moving files and folders around (e.g. zipping them with something other than Finder's "Compress" command). It's also not portable to other filesystems, whereas a .DS_Store file will work on any filesystem.

Advertising is one of the first things companies cut during a downturn. Their revenues are down and they need to shave some costs.

Where do they make that budget cut? It's a pretty easy call right now. They can shave some money and garner some easy positive press at the same time. They are getting advertising for cutting spending.

When their revenue starts to come back online, they quietly turn Facebook advertising back on. If anyone calls them on it, they can say they feel the atmosphere on FB has improved.

I think M$ is evil, and it represents all that sucks about tech, not least of which is nepotism and theft; but also every time I'm forced to use a Windows box I still cannot see how Linux is not the standard as Windows OS may be the Industry standard but is a total POS system.

Its bloated and slow (16gb of ram feels entirely pedestrian in most cases in that ecosystem) as well just being aesthetically unappealing. I went all in with various Linux distros close to the latter end of XP in 2009ish and its like night and day, old(er) thinkpads can get a new chance at Life with a properly installed Linux distro.

The world's fossil fuel dependency is actually up from the early 2000s, and about 3% lower than in the 90s. (from roughly 91% to 88%).

The fact that someone was arrested because of match shows a failure in basic criminal investigation more than anything else.
