The cynical response is probably that all tech is either ad tech, uses ad tech or builds things used by ad tech.

You don't really need ad tech to make that statement about selling out those beneath you applicable for most tech though. Work on self-driving cars? Good bye to people earning money driving cars. Yes, you can rationalize that by saying "no, we're just automating what can be automated to free human productivity and make sure their capacity isn't wasted on these trivial tasks", but this isn't Star Trek and they won't be freed from driving cars, they'll be out of a job.

You should do what you want with your money, but it is wise to do your research:

- It was founded in September 2019, but has not even acquired a lease on a suitable location yet.

- The presentation states they will use the money raised to take over an existing funeral home, but the "risks" section in the data room says it "is a newly established entity and has no history for prospective investors to consider." If they are taking over an existing funeral home, surely the numbers from that funeral home would be available.

- Later on in the presentation slides on the first place, they state that the funeral home they are looking to take over has about 200k revenue forecasted for FY2020. On the data room "financial forecasts" section projected revenue for year 1 is almost double that at 380-390k. Also despite the funeral home presumably existing for some time already, they think they'll be able to grow revenues almost 50% in 2-3 years.

- The president has over 20 years experience in death care which is nice. The vice president seems to be his wife and is currently working as a dental assistant.

- The risks include that they might not have sufficient accounting controls in place (!). You won't even know if they are doing well or not.

- They offer "guaranteed" (provided they still exist in 2026) return of $1800 on 1/1/2026 on $1000 invested. That is an annualized ROI of more than 11%. That they are offering interest rates this high means that all the providers of lower interest rates have rejected them. A highly speculative startup in electric scooters here in Amsterdam recently offered 8% and that was more than enough to get enough interested investors. You should ask yourself why they are offering such high interest rates and what it means for the (perceived by the market) chances of them not existing in 2026 to pay back your money.

To summarize: there are a number of "red flags" that warrant extreme caution.
Certainly not for production, but when you can't run x86-64 images, just simple prototyping or building images that requires x86-64 will require using external servers instead of using locally installed docker, which will be a huge barrier for casual prototyping.

Ask HN: Flutter or React Native or Kotlin Native, Which One?
Hello Engineers,

What should I use for developing my mobile app, Flutter, React Native or Kotlin Native?

Thank you!
In 'the olden days' programming projects were batch processing jobs on mainframes and had simple requirements, simple processes and easily predictable fail conditions.

Nowadays the all-singing, all-dancing one-stop-shop that has become the user's expectation has pages and pages of requirements, complex processes and fail conditions that could not only fill several books but are dependent on a whole host of other systems.

In short, it's user expectations (which ironically is the same reason it's more expensive to make a movie these days)
You can just use f/4 most of the time. 24-70 Nikon f/4 is not that different in size or weight compared to 12-40 f/2.8 Oly. Image quality is still going to be better.
Bluetooth audio is a mess of compromise. The default sbc codec is basically fine for low latency but the parameters are all pretty terrible. Everyone uses the same few default parameters which neither give particularly high quality (especially for two way audio which was designed to be compatible with phone quality), nor low latency (especially for the high quality a2dp profile). One issue is that the designs/defaults haven’t really been updated since about 2000, and the parameters are very hard to change, typically the OS’s preference is hardcoded somewhere (also, whichever device initiates the connection gets to choose the parameters so even if you configured your computer to choose “better” parameters, it would all be for naught if you let the headphones connect to the computer rather than the other way round). The other issue is that Bluetooth is quite severely bandwidth constrained and higher bandwidth could theoretically give lower latency.

None. The Fourier transform certainly has all 3 properties.

The Laplace transform is not very stable, it's difficult to invert. So it's going to always be second tier compared to Fourier.
If you cache only at the file level, then you're going to miss a lot of opportunities and still repeat a lot of work.

You could cache at the function level, or each template separately. You could cache includes automatically on files that change frequently to avoid parsing headers again and again without having to manually specify precompiler headers (yes, sure, modules should help there soon).

This article defends change for the sake of change (even the style is named “neu” — new). But let’s take it seriously for a moment:

Shadows and lighting are actually cues we take into account when finding physical switches, handles, etc. yet adding them to the screen uses a lighting source “origin” that is unrelated to the real world. We literally look through a screen into an alien world.

What if our phones and computers had adequate ambient light sensing that the shadows can be Aligned to the environment? That the shadows on the screen point the same way as the shadows of the keyboard keys, or of something sitting on the desk or against the wall behind your screen?

That might actually make an interface easier and more intuitive.

They're not attacking Karens because they're white. They're attacking Karens because a lot of people have worked dogshit retail jobs where they've been accosted by people aggrieved over the most inconsequential things imaginable. If that's what you associate with having white skin, then you're harboring racist beliefs.

I'm not a fan of the current flat, 'material' design, but I do have reservations about "MacOS Dribbble". I hope the contrast issues will be fixed, and icons will be more in line with each other. In the end the UI needs to comprehensible and get out of the way of what you are trying to do.

About 9 years ago when they started development of the BE-4. Up until then Blue Origin was mainly a think tank and research project.

I've been quite dismissive of Blue Origin in the past, their pace of development seemed so sluggish compared to SpaceX, but I think that was somewhat unfair. It seems Bezos only really started pouring money into the project a few years ago though. BE-34 does seem to be behind schedule, or at least the launch vehicles are by a year or two, but that's par for the course for big rockets.

> Then if I'm writing a concurrent queue or concurrent hash-table I'm on my own since 100% of my codebase is unsafe Rust.

Sure. And if you are writing a concurrent application with 500k LOC , 99.99999999% of your code will be safe Rust.

Safe Rust that you can refactor at will - at least, in my anecdotal experience of working 3 years full-time on a concurrent >100kLOC Rust application, I have yet to see a big refactor that introduces a concurrency or memory safety bug. In my previous 15 years of doing the same in C++, I actually have to see a refactor by myself or others that did not introduce multiple bugs.

> Then if I'm writing a concurrent queue or concurrent hash-table I'm on my own since 100% of my codebase is unsafe Rust.

You can write a concurrent queue using safe Rust (e.g. it is trivial to write a spinlock using safe Rust that you can use for that). You are choosing not to do that, and provide your own instead.

Your job is not to write the unsafe code, but to _prove_ that it is safe to use from safe Rust.

Once you do that, the other 99.999999999% of your application can just use it without issues.

If you don't want to do that, Rust belt has soundness proofs for most concurrency primitives in the standard library. Aaron Turon's thesis has similar proofs for the ones in crossbeam. Etc.

> I suppose you didn't try to write any concurrent data structure.

You suppose wrong.

> Even a hundred of lines of concurrent code is incredibly hard to debug without tools when it involves multiple threads synchronizing with each other.

So don't do it? I've done it a couple of times, and the first thing I do is set up the fuzzer and thread-sanitizer for the build. That catches most bugs early.

I've never proven my implementations to be sound, but they were always good enough for my use cases. I've hitted bugs in my application when using them, but finding those bugs was always trivial, since they are only located in the 100 LOC of unsafe code.

---

I think you are fully misunderstanding the claim fearless concurrency. It is a claim about safe Rust, and you can write huge, complex, and extremely efficient concurrent applications using safe Rust without having to write one line of unsafe Rust yourself, and using only unsafe Rust code that has been proved correct.

If the only thing you use Rust for is writing concurrent data-structures, Rust is very specific that these claims do not apply there. You seem to not have understood this yet, and without having understood that, the chances that your implementations are correct are very thin. I hope you are not using them for anything important.

Of course, you can select a 16 GB memory upgrade from Apple for 400 $ when you buy your laptop. On the other hand, a user-serviceable laptop would just enable you to buy that RAM yourself for around 100 $ and put it in the laptop. Also, you could do that after you buy the laptop, as sometimes people just realize they need more RAM or storage after using a laptop for several years. With an Apple laptop you're just out of luck in those cases, the only thing you can do is sell it and buy a new one. Same story with the hard drives or almost any other component. I don't think that the reason they do this is to make the laptops 1-2 mm thinner, I think it's just economically way more interesting to be in a position where your company controls the entire value chain from software to hardware. That's where Apple is headed and it's great for them as a company, for end users it's not so great though. I would really like if the EU restricts this kind of behavior as I think it would be good for Apple users as well.

Honestly I really wanted them to announce containers on iPadOS in a vein similar to how ChromeOS does it.

Having them later in the presentation say "Hey look at all these ARM containers running on Apple chips on macOS" was an especial kick in the teeth.

I used my potato-tier iPad with a Logic Folio as my main computer for a couple of months while my MacBook was getting replaced and it was honestly a vastly better experience for me save for not being able to get work done because of the absence of spinning up a Linux workspace.

Even if they artificially limited it to iPad Pro (it's Apple after all) I'd still be happy.

One interesting aspect of this is that they still explicitly expect "synchronous" work, timezones be damned:

You're radically misunderstanding that definition.

It has to do with the notions that are expressed by "can, should, might, must, has to" etc. These words (most of them are called "modal verbs" in English) modify a proposition in such a way that they do not mean it happened/happens/whatever, but qualify it, or indicate its possibility etc. So "he's going out now" is a proposition. "He can go out now" modifies that proposition - no longer are we affirming it, but merely affirming the possibility or permissability of it.

Nothing about "are you sure" is modal. A modal dialog is called modal because the mode of the program has changed - no longer can it accept requests to delete articles or add text or modify an avatar, but it is now in a mode when you can either say "delete this" or "don't delete this".

In particular, if you showed an inline prompt that says "are you sure? delete/cancel" but still allows you to interact with the rest of the system, it's not modal.
