I don’t understand who wants auto-updates.

The best practices I’m familiar generally have immutable things (images, containers), with new versions deployed continuously (with a build & validation pipeline). In-place upgrade just adds new failure dimensions, let alone automatic in-place upgrade.
This with VR will be glorious. This game alone could be the reason I get a VR headset and build a PC.
> Yeah your right no need to highlight deforestation anymore as some countries are planting trees now.

Is that what I said? My point is that if you only show the areas where deforestation happens you are missing the picture where trees are growing. That's called negative bias.
It's not that bad. In the US there are 5 PROs which is better than a lot of places. And it does make licensing for users of music easier to have these societies.

That said, in Europe these are more like monopolies. Still not bad it will be interesting to see if Youtube at some point starts charging for distribution.

Spotify does this with sponsored songs - you can pay to get distribution.

You will need to have some sources to back that claim.
Can we get a neutral source on this? Nextcloud undoubtedly stands to benefit a great deal from the claims being made here, since Nextcloud is self-hosted. There’s inevitably a strong PR bias here.
Banning the app from the app stores should pretty much kill it from the consumer point of view, which is what Trump is trying to mitigate. I don't see how that won't be effective.

I've literally never used Ctrl+V for anything other than paste, so I'm honestly not sure how it's implemented on Windows Terminal or pantheon-terminal. But the way they have it, it always does what I expect.

I'm also very much not a vi user because, for similar reasons, context switching is a nightmare. I use nano everywhere because it works almost exactly like everything else in my system (but honestly I should probably install micro everywhere).

The Huawei justification wouldn't apply here, since it involved critical infrastructure that is already subject to national security approval.
>because they are too afraid of being sued

This is a cliche but it can't possibly be true. I mean, it is extremely expensive to file a lawsuit, you probably lose, and nobody will ever hire you again, because it is public record.
That's not super relevant to this case, because TikTok itself is banned in China; Chinese users have to use Douyin, which runs the same platform but doesn't share content with TikTok.
You can try mapping it to super+c/super+v, as macos does. (If apps you use don't support key rebinding, then a little xdotool|autohotkey|autokey magic can do it.)
Please be remindful that the statement is that "all companies are branch of military"...

And to be precise, "People's Liberation Army owns and runs many businesses" this is almost certainly a misunderstanding of the organizing structure.

Mr Deng Xiaoping deliberately not disallowing military involving business activities [1], in part it's because the military is starved from support and resources, and they need some form of self-sustaining to maintain the basic infrastructure, especially ensure the continuation of the talent development relevant to high-end military capability.

That was banned in Jiang Zeming's rule [2]. In part, just like the purge done by Xi, was because military with its own finanical sources will become a plitical risk to the party head.

Today, there isn't any military owned business, officially. There are state-owned military equipment companies and research institutes. But their relationship with military is not too different from Locke-martin & US government & US military. (I mean, US system works better, right? Then CCP will happy to copy...)

Of course, there could be grey areas, and exceptions. But it should be common sense, here I repeat, military personnel cannot have financial support in their own control, that threatens the political leaders' authority.

If you can name one "active duty officers serving as executives", I'll be very surprised...

Have US ISPs ever been asked/told to block IPs (or even DNS) before? I don't think it's something the FCC could do, especially since they've abdicated most of their authority over the internet to the FTC. Even still, I doubt they have the authority to do it or the means to impose penalties for noncompliance.

Even if they could - what is a TikTok IP? I'm confident their US endpoints are AWS or Google Cloud - good luck blocking those.

Ask HN: Interview questions/topics for a Windows developer
I lead a small team of web developers. We have recently been tasked to continue development on a Windows application that is already in production. None of us are Windows devs. The person who wrote the application is still with the company on another team, but they're not a Windows dev either. We've always known that we'd need that expertise eventually, but events in recent weeks have highlighted that.

We have some applicants in the pipeline, I was wondering whether there were good ways to gauge Windows skills without having that knowledge myself.
> musicians are paid in dopamine

That's a good point, never thought of it that way. As a developer, it's satisfying to get better at your craft and to get small dopamine boosts from elegantly written solutions, but it's not like the rollercoaster of being in front of a bajillion people and sweating bullets and nailing your part, especially when playing in a band and melting away into something bigger than you. You can only get so much transcendence from writing login flow #65 and getting your integration tests to pass.

To be fair, as a startup founded you also don't exactly feel these incredible peaks of dopamine, but there's a longer sense of satisfaction, confidence and ownership of being a big part of something successful that puts food on the table for a bunch of people and solves pain points for even more people.

The way I see it, and I'd be curious to hear what you think, is that trying to get big the hard and old way in music (aka make a "stale" genre album, release album, hope you go viral) is kind of like starting yet another pizza shop in the middle of new york city. You're one of many, you likely don't have anything so revolutionary to suddenly crush your competition. You're very much of a commodity. Seems to me that you'd be much better off being at the beginning of a new fashion or trend in music genres, or using a new music or distribution technology (e.g. drum machines & synths, or maybe streaming your music on Twitch, or maybe TikTok) that's suddenly getting people's attention. Like with a startup, you'd be better off taking advantage of a landscape shift of sorts rather than making photo sharing app #57365 in 2020. Still won't guarantee success, but at least will improve it.

> so I'm not sure why we need to double the working-set size of all pointer-based data-structures.

If your data structures can fit in a 32-bit address space, you can just place them in an arena w/ 32-bit indexes. You do need to use a custom allocator for every element of that data structure, but other than that it ought to be feasible. Link/pointer-based data structures should be used with caution anyway, due to their poor cache performance
Because I (a citizen) might want to access the information provided by this service.

I (an individual) would be happy to see TikTok banned, along with Twitter/Facebook/Instagram/etc, because I see them as vain wastes of time with a sinister twist. But I've also met teenagers, and even been one! So I can guess how they might respond to a government-imposed ban on a new and interesting vice.

And I (a citizen) am deeply suspicious of being told that I must not know something. It smells like corruption and tyranny. The belief that knowledge should be free is tattooed on my soul (and my skin).

Tit-for-tat only works in the absence of moral imperatives.
I've never understood why people espouse China's "4000 year history". The government purged nearly all aspects of traditional Chinese society during the Cultural Revolution. If you want to be reminded of China's history, you travel to Taiwan. Even practitioners of Chinese traditional medicine tend to study overseas in Japan.
From the wiki link "The scarring is permanent once it has developed", that is scary
Negligence is actionable regardless of whether it’s criminal. And whether it’s criminal depends on the duty of care that can be reasonably expected from the negligent party.

In this case, I’ll leave the expected duty of care to your imagination, but I’ll point out that we’re talking about a publicly-traded multinational corporation with many millions of users including governments and world leaders.
Which is the sad reality. There are definitely talented rappers that work their tails off to produce great lyrics, in some cases their own beats / tracks and are being overshadowed by what I call pop rap (you can throw mumble rap under than umbrella). I can only imagine the same is happening in other genres. The one decent thing about rap was always all the mixtapes on the other hand.
> Tearing down those homes and building over them will be deeply consequential. It will make Turkey an international pariah and raise questions about other issues, such as their treatment of their Kurd minority.

This is potentially dangerous, as it gives a false sense of security. It appears to completely ignore slang. I just plugged in "slapper" and got a green light, for instance. I notice they have a cautionary note on the site, so...?

My favourite story about this sort of thing relates to a computer game which was very popular in its home territory (the UK) but struggled when released abroad (Germany, I think?) as its name was a slang term for "rent boy". IIRC this was the game "Midwinter".
No it doesn't, in a browser, middle-click will turn on drag to scroll, unless you click on a link in which case it will open a new tab. Which is something I use every day.
This implies that every listener would have bought the CD. In reality, many of these listeners were just letting the playlist roll without thinking about it, and would not have spent a penny out of their pockets for that particular song.
I fought really hard to like alacritty and tune it to be fast and ultimately it was laggy and slow as heck. The rendering pass was abysmal last I checked. If there are too many characters on the screen, fps falls off a cliff. No modern terminal should have render performance of O(n), n=characters. If I hit enter you don't need to re-rasterize all those glyphs.

Twitter is reportedly considering integrating a subscription service between members. Their lawyers must be reviewing this case very carefully. It may mean they'll have much less flexibility to restrict accounts with paid subscribers.
> Why would congress struggle to pass it through a constitutional review?

Because a computer program is an expression, and the right to free expression is a cornerstone of the first amendment. So broadly, I don't think the government can "ban" an app, no matter who wrote it.

This proposition has been tested and affirmed for source code (see DeCSS t-shirt, etc.) but to my knowledge has not been tested for binaries. So, it would at minimum be a new test of whether binary code is as much a protected expression as human-readable code.

That's rather ridiculous. The US has seen massive social instability over the past 400 years. The Revolution, the Civil War, slavery and the Slave Trade, the Great Depression, etc. And the founders of the US, being mostly European, were descended from people who lived through absolutely catastrophic social instability in Europe. Never-ending wars over religion and territory and on and on...

What "real chaos" has "China" (which is, by the way, nowhere homogenous) seen that we have not seen?

I’m pretty sure that at TikTok level you need operate with a VPC and have your own range of IPs.

Also ISPs and Mobile Carriers have their own blocking and network redirection methods, like url filtering with transparent proxies, that are used to re-lane traffic based on bandwidth usage. a.k.a putting Netflix on the slow lane
Err, before everyone gets too excited, it would be nice to know what the equivalent study done on comparable influenza patients would look like. If it looks similar, then we probably don't have much to worry about, if the covid picture is more severe or more frequent, then we might have cause to worry
This is incredibly inaccurate.

You work in tech, right? Ever run this take by your Chinese coworkers? Ask them about their families' connection to Chinese tradition?
> This is particularly true for Android because basically the entire thing is written in portable languages and the apps even run on a bytecode VM already, so switching to another architecture or even supporting multiple architectures at the same time wouldn't be that hard.

Google could easily afford to design their own RISC-V CPUs and port Android to it, if they thought it was in their strategic interests to do so.

I think it really depends on how nVidia-owned Arm behaves. If it behaves the same as Softbank-owned Arm, I don't think Google would bother. If it starts to behave differently, in a way which upsets the Android ecosystem, Google might do something like this. (I imagine they'll give it some time to see whether Arm's behaviour changes post-acquisition.)

> purged nearly all aspects of traditional Chinese society

There has been multiple rounds of racial genocide in China's history, some by internal turmoil, and more by external invasion. Yet the Chinese culture survived.

It might sounds incredible, but so many people in such a huge land, have its own life strength.

If you think a political dictator can purge a nation's history tie, in 10 years, without actually killing all the people, then you are certainly underestimate Chinese people's strength and ernacity...

If ByteDance goes to court? How about when Apple and Google go to court... A president unilaterally shutting down a foreign business would destroy trust in their centralized app stores. I can't imagine both companies will just nod their heads and roll over.

So does Trump really expect TikTok to just disappear like COVID, or is the actual play here to give Trump a strong talking point to fire up his remaining supporters? He'll undoubtedly group constitutionality-litigating Apple/Google with "the left", like everything else that conflicts with his 1850's world view.

FWIW TikTok may be problematic, but it's only slightly more problematic than all of the US-based spyware that has apparently been acceptable for the past decade. The rest of the world has just had to live with the US being able to surveil most of their citizens' digital activity. Now there's a whiff of symmetry and the panic bells are going off.
It is still owned by the same company.

Nobody becomes an expert at anything by going to college. Students who get an in Calculus aren't an expert at Calculus or anything close to, they mostly just drilled homework practice problems until they knew enough to an well on an exam.

IMO this is a fundamental problem with American ideals. Antisemitism is straight up illegal here, why should society permit assholes like this to run around and make money encouraging more people to be like them? I'd rather work with a platform that is willing to separate from toxicity.
A surge in the popularity of present tense also accompanied literary modernism a century ago. I'm a little disappointed that the author didn't draw any comparisons or contrasts.

At the least, the title suggests that this parallel was in the author's head. "Make it now" is a riff on Ezra Pound's maxim "make it new".

The US seems to have been fine shrugging off the Golden Rule and giving China a pass for decades because it felt like it was the bigger man. Now, we're seeing the US admit that the gap has closed.
Frankly, this will kill the idea of paid subscribers between members. For Twitter to be legally safe, you would only be able to subscribe to Twitter itself, and I'm not sure why anyone would do that?

This company in no way shape or form is obligated to cater to your interests. In this case it would likely be counter to their interests.

Under the authority of an executive order.

> Why should they comply?

Because these are american companies, who make a bunch of their money in america, and they can be fined many millions or even billions of dollars, or possibly even arrested if they don't comply with the orders of the nation that has the most powerful military in the world.

> What's he going to do when ByteDance uploads the .apk somewhere?

Probably just fine ByteDance, which has a US presence, and many employees/bank accounts that are in the US.

Blatant refusal to follow the law of the most powerful military in the world can be followed up with arrests of employees/executives that are in the US.
There's a large group of people in the US especially who believe (perhaps subconsciously) that saying something loudly enough can make it be true.
Makes me think I should start writing in future tense to get ahead of the game.

Quite a lot.

Take a look at a recent snapshot of changesets and lines of code to the Linux kernel contributed by various employers: https://lwn.net/Articles/816162/

Arm themselves is listed at 1.8% by changesets; but Linaro is a software development shop funded by Arm and other Arm licensees to work on Arm support in various free software, and they contributed 4% of changesets and 8.8% by lines of code. And Code Aurora Forum is an effort to help various hardware vendors, many of whom are Arm vendors, get drivers upstreamed, and they contributed 1.8% by changesets and 10.1% by lines changed. A number of other top companies listed are also Arm licensees, though their support may be for random drivers or other CPU architectures as well.

However, Arm and companies in the Arm ecosystem do make up a fairly large amount of the code contributed to Linux, even if much of it is just drivers for random hardware.

And Arm and Linaro developers also contribute to GCC, LLVM, Rust, and more.
