Has anyone figured out how to save a file with the keyboard?

On one machine, opening a file dialog hangs the UI rendering thread for about 60 seconds, and then I close the dialog box because I never wanted to invoke it anyway (different workflow).

On the machine where I need it, it doesn’t hang (small victory), and it autoselects the default file name, but not the default extension (good).

However, it puts the keyboard focus in the directory listing. So, if you start typing, it filters the directory listing instead of overwriting the selected text in the filename. Tab and shift-tab move keyboard focus to even more obscure UI elements.

I just want to type:

<ctrl>-s filename <enter>

I’m pretty sure that used to work!

> There never was a Palestinian people or a Palestinian contry.

Quite a ridiculous statement. The entire region that spans today's Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine "Israel" was known as Bilad Al-Sham. There were no individual countries with today's borders under the Rashidun Caliphate, to the Ummayads and all the way to the Ottoman empires, just regions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilad_al-Sham
At 5:45[0] in that video, he makes a reference to one of the greatest weird explanations of video game things ever: the explanation[1] of how to beat the Watch for Rolling Rocks level in Super Mario 64 with only half an A-press, which is highly worth a watch if you like this stuff about geometry.

And if that was interesting, I also recommend the history of any percent speed runs for Super Mario Sunshine.[2]

Australia has not banned it.

India has banned it through possible dubious legal means wouldn't pass muster in most western countries, which I think ByteDance expects will be lifted sometime in the future, since they haven't gone to court over it, and seemingly engaging in some sort of dialogue with the government over it. India had earlier banned it for sometime over allegations of 'pornography', but that was lifted.
Overdrafts.

It’s the first of the month and your mortgage and car payment is debited. Except some asshat drained your account and the overdraft exceeds your accounts limit.

Eventually everything gets fixed, but you deal with a lot of stress and risk.

There’s literally no reason to not carry a credit card and have the bank hold the risk.

With regard to "has become", this is completely false. Overcharging is not "new" in any way, shape, or form, as I hope the recent post commemorating Aaron Swartz's death would have reminded all of us.
Not having smart copy is a complete dealbreaker to me https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/1919

Windows Terminal has smart copy by default now and the UX improvements of it are a huge difference. I use pantheon-terminal (i.e. the one from elementaryOS) on my linux environments, and the only reason is because it also has smart copy.

It means that on all the applications I use, Ctrl+C does _exactly_ what I expect, all the time. I don't want to have to context-switch when I go to a terminal and remember "oh yeah, I need to hold shift too" and accidentally kill the running process like a "tail -f" that I have running for logs on some server.

I understand it might be technically difficult to implement, but it means I can't switch to Alacritty without inevitable daily frustration.

So how do you ban an app actually? Yes they could remove the app from the app store but what about the APIs etc...?

Also the next TikTok clone is going to be a massive succes.
Why? Owen Benjamin may be an antisemitic nutcase (the little I know of him makes me think he is), but that's irrelevant to the legal merits of the case. To go into his background would be a fairly ridiculous example of bothsidesism, especially for a group like "Reclaim the Net," which seems to have an axe to grind against cancel culture, censorship and deplatforming. No one expects BLM to e.g. publish the evidence debunking the "hands up don't shoot" narrative around the killing of Michael Brown, [1] so why should other activists groups be held up to a more stringent standard? If Owen Benjamin's legal rights were violated, he deserves to be made whole (though I admit I'd enjoy him having some egg on his face if one or more people instrumental in securing his legal rights happened to be Jewish).

I flatly disagree that this is some kind of First Amendment issue. I would love to be proven wrong here, but I'm not aware of any SCOTUS opinion or any related case law that would apply to the argument you are making. That "distributing code" is somehow protected speech.

>That is why that any travel down this path I see as an erosion of western democracy, and especially when that travel comes from the executive branch swerving way out of its lane.

This is naive. Power is power, and the executive branch did much more restrictive things during WWII. We're in Cold War II now and it is absolutely reasonable to expect moves like this, and while I share your apprehension for the erosion of liberties (I really do), at some point you have to make sure you have a winning hand before you put the cards on the table.

Correct, I am not objective on this topic and made no such implication. If we were all simply objective observational automatons, it would make for a pretty sterile comment section.

Someone else said this earlier, and it's pretty different: one is a physical good that goes through customs where there are existing laws that allow for denial of entry. The other is code/speech for which there are no laws granting the executive branch the authority to block.
> What level of foreign ownership makes a company purely foreign controlled?

Whatever level allows them to dictate behavior.

Of course.

Of far more significant is whether ByteDance's leadership are subject to Chinese jurisdiction.

> Could this be the same as a tit for tat measure like with tariffs?

It certainly hopes to provoke a cycle of retaliatory escalation, because it's an election year stunt looking to distract from, well, a whole lot of other things with a manufactured international crisis to create a rally-around-the-flag effect.

It will probably fail as a political strategy somewhat less spectacularly than “let’s avoid having a national strategy to control the COVID-19 pandemic and behind-the-scenes obstruct state efforts because the early impacts are in Democratic-governed states and we can leverage the impacts for political gains by blaming the governors.”

I love DCS, but their business model is killing them.

Without a subscription-style revenue stream, they are forced to create and sell new products constantly. This leads them to be in a constant state of "early access" -- often with some substantial issues. I would prefer it if they let me pay ~$10/month and I just get access to every module.
The US is acting like a desperate country that has no idea what it is doing. It is evident to the whole world that the US doesn't want to compete at the level of high technology, which is what the Chinese have achieved in the last couple of years. Whenever a country tries to create a fence around it, then it is just displaying weakness. It would be much more constructive for the US to recognize that they're getting behind in the technology game and compete as adults.
Thanks, this is really interesting stuff!
Actually it was the year that managers stoppped taking programmers in that know how to do quality control and focus on doing it faster with more bugs so it ships sooner. If you look at some of the MS-DOS programs they rn with little to few bugs, but Windows 95 ran them in MS-DOS mode. Later on Windows programs needed updates and bug fixes to make them work faster and every version of MS-Office fixed bugs but ran slower as CPUs and hard drives got faster they didn't focus on quality any more just shipping it with bugs and fix the bugs later on.

I’ve never understood why the long term effects of Covid-19 have seemingly been ignored by the people who say this isn’t a big deal, deaths aren’t significant, and it mostly effects old people.

They could, though. China is welcome to repeal those laws if they don't want the rest of the world to assume that they use them...
Such naivety on display here, I am alarmed for HN. National security isn't blanket grounds for doing anything. There are limits to president's and executives and even legislatures authority. Arbitrarily nothing can be done in our system. Unless US government probably demonstrates to the public that this measure is required, such a ban cannot be condoned.
In large studies, both true causal and true non-causal associations get stronger -- size gives no protection from confounding.
Why would congress struggle to pass it through a constitutional review?

Plenty of Trump's EOs have been ruled unconstitutional. He may feel that his authority extends beyond checks and balances, but it doesn't. His attempts to abuse his power have been duly mitigated and stopped about as well (or badly depending on how you look at it) as the last few presidents, as I see it.

It's worth noting the reason axing WeChat would be effective is that every other widely used communication app on this planet is already blocked by China.

You're also falling for a selection bias. Twitter is a big target and likely stops attacks like this daily. This is just the one that got through, and probably more because of luck than skill.

The point isn't to stop Chinese people from phoning home so a lot of that would be silly. Social media platforms that go mainstream are incredible propaganda and normalization tools, especially when their key demographic is a nation's youth. No one cares about WeChat because it's not nearly as influential in America and probably never will be.
Of course its steep. But he’s just a pawn. He is irrelevant. The bigger picture is that one of the largest tech companies with stock traded publicly got caught with pants down and revealed that their staff is not properly trained and vulnerable to social hacking. As a result millions of dollars invested in the stock were lost. Some angry billionaires who happen to write fat checks to politicians placed few very harsh phonecalls and then these politicians placed ten times more angry calls to the next in line, until they reached DOJ. That’s all it is. Now DOJ has last chance to look all serious and harsh before they turn the light off.

Outlook strikes me as a suitable candidate

The web version of Outlook is a great example --- on a computer only a year old, it often lags on every keypress when writing an email.

YouTube's redesign ("Polymer") is another example, where the new site is much slower than before, despite not really increasing in features.
Yes. It's not like every other app that exists on my system. Context switching is a nightmare. Stop shipping bad UX.

I don't have so much of a problem with CUDA staying closed, but rather Nvidia sabotaging Nouveau through signed firmware which they don't release (and obfuscate in their blob). Nouveau would be probably be decent by now (not as fast or feature complete, but usable for real workloads on newer cards) if it weren't for the fact that Nvidia has added features which have the direct effect of making it impossible to have a competitive open source driver.

Maybe something will change on this soon. There was speculation about this: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NVIDIA-O.... But I'm not holding my breath, and it would be nice if the solution wasn't "wait and hope until Nvidia releases the software necessary to control their GPUs".

It’s cognitive overhead to remember a different key for something as common as copy+paste. What if selection was holding down middle click and copying was right click? This keybind may seem easy for you but it is arbitrary and therefore hard to remember, and is non-standard. I struggle with different copy semantics across OSes and terminals all the time. It’s very frustrating.

> I'm not even sure POTUS can ban a site just by an executive order... unless I'm REALLY weak on US law...

Being ignorant of the special area of law that is “Presidential emergency powers regarding trade with foreign nations” isn't necessarily being really weak on US law generally, though that narrow area of law ends up contravening a lot of what you might correctly understand elsewhere when it is triggered.

It's not clear exactly what the content of the order will be, without which we can't really begin to assess whether he has the power to issue it, but there are certainly, at a minimum, things he could due to obstruct their ability to fully interact with US markets under Presidential emergency powers. Given that Trump's I formal descriptions preceding executive actions have not been a particularly good guide to the details of the actions, I don't know that any deeper analysis wouldn't largely wasted.
Left out of the discussion is whether the president actually has the authority to ban an app without due process...

Generally, most lawyers would say that his authority is limited to the use of tiktok by federal employees or members of the armed forces. Banning the app for everyone at the national level would require more than an executive order.
No, it wasn't; you couldn't keep code running in a WAR off the network. For a number of years, practically every sitewide pentest I did was gameovered by SSRF off Java application servers.

Buying the albums mostly supports the music industry when you do the accounting and does little to support the actual band directly. The middlemen mostly exist to build a machine to allow people to profit from music... Which is an arguable indirect benefit to the content producers. Yet it does lead to the counterintuitive situation where a merchandise buying pirate is actually directly contributing to a bands coffers more than a law abiding citizen may be.
The first amendment is a negative right: it forbids the government from acting. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech..." The Supreme Court has historically ruled on a regular basis that most US Constitutional protections extend to non citizens too. Unfortunately the conservatively biased Supreme Court last month decided that interfering with freedom of speech is OK against a foreign company. A loss for freedom and a victory for authoritarianism.
