I don't think so. Suppose you capture an elephant. It escapes from its enclosure and causes havoc. Was the elephant designed by you to cause havoc? No. Especially, because you didn't release it on purpose.
Interesting. The Jalopnik writer suggests that autopilot (in addition to not seeing the big stationary car and hitting it) “steered the car off the road”. Is this known, or assumed? Is it possible that the cop car (with its warning lights on) was parked slightly into the lane the Tesla was driving along?

Interested as these would be totally different failure mechanisms - swiping the cop car whilst maintaining reasonable position within a lane is pretty different from deliberately steering out of the lane and heading directly for the cop car.

It's the same thing with those godawful "hey, check out this new feature" popups that are all the rage these days. Or better yet, "check out this old feature that you probably forgot about."

That's not useless information, but somehow they picked the worst possible time to present it: when I'm trying to do something else. Usually, I don't even remember an hour later what it was trying to offer me. All I remember is being aggravated by something annoying that was in my way.
Agreed. It’s not any different from saying “as a westerner...”. Europe is a continent, not a political union.
Fun fact indeed! I knew all these things but never how they actually worked. When I was deep into IRC I was a bit too young to understand the technical side of it but I sure knew how to download a lot of warez over DCC!
Disgusting attitudes like yours is all too common these days. It is anti-freedom, full of snobbery and it is nihilistic.

This isn't very typical of open source creators, but for people who want to live off donations, it's a big help, because it helps building a fanbase of people, of which a subset then donates to you. Basically the same model as of a youtuber, who also creates content and uses patreon because youtube's unilateral and weird decisions to demonetize people or change their compensation on a whim.

Furthermore, it really depends on which area you work in. It seems that in the js ecosystem, it's possible to live off donations, but the js ecosystem is gigantic, and many people make money building js stuff.

IDK the people who can live off donations are an extremely tiny subset of all open source maintainers. For most people it's as unattainable as living from your proceedings of being a youtube star, and even then lots of people want to become youtube stars.

That being said, for the 99%, being in open source is still beneficial, as it opens doors into the jobs world, helps building a portfolio as well as a network, both useful for getting a job.

I strongly disagree. There is nobody in Eastern Europe (or Western Europe if they know enough about politics) who is boggled by money in politics or misleading ads.

There are countries in Europe that have had Gulags in the last 50 years, I doubt they are boggled by the idea of a for-profit prison system.

As a European who has lived in America and now in SEA, this "as a European" is used by people who generally don't understand the variety of different life experience of people in Europe.

> You CANNOT bypass gatekeeper on silicon - that is the whole point, otherwise there would be no diffference!

Yes, you can. The only difference between Intel and Apple silicon in this regard is that binaries that literally have no code signature (as opposed to a self-signed one) will not run. It's a technical cleanup measure that removes a special case (executable with no associated signature blob), not a lockdown measure. It's not intended to make a difference from the user's point of view.

The vast majority of library documentation of even major libraries is simply text with no playground.

The fact that they’ve made the effort to add a playground by leveraging a fairly easy to use tech should not be held against the open source maintainers!

Besides, all those examples are trivially reproducible locally, the way you would have to do it for the vast majority of languages which don’t give such fancy interactivity in their tutorials.

I literally setup almost everything I personally need in about a day on a VPS. As for services like LinkedIn I almost never got anything of value from it, it is worse than most job board it is filled with slimey recruiters these days and not a lot else.

I bought a NAS for backups with freenas and moving my email to a domain with a provider literally took me a few minutes (plugging DNS entries into my domain provider). It not that hard.

People should be making tools for helping people move away from platforms. I am personally going to write it all up and identify pain points.

They need to be able to communicate with the store, which needs to be able to provide services such as iAP, background update, reviews and recommendations and whatever else the store provider wants to offer. This is how Google Play store works right now on Android, so this is not theoretical, and you'd bet Google would want a store on iOS and they'd want it to provide the same services Play Store provides on Android.

Apple Store apps might well be sandboxed from third party store apps, but there are no guarantees apps within a store ecosystem would provide the same privacy, that would be up to the store provider and Apple would have no say in it.

The US has a "democracy" where the president acts almost like a king. Of course there is a judiciary, but it is slow and doesn't meddle in most decisions affecting international affairs. This kind of behavior wouldn't be acceptable in the UK, for example, where there is a real monarchy. The actual law in the US is to take over other countries that are not labeled as "friends".

The tone of this article is incredibly arrogant. Yes the autopilot made a mistake and yes the driver shouldn’t be watching a video, but to state with absolute certainty that autopilot is more dangerous because of a single incident is sensationalistic BS. Does the author realize that 45k people a year die from driving? Where is the outrage there? I see people watching tv on their phones all the time while driving without autopilot.

Also mostly a noob, but my understanding is that most of the value comes from having a subscription to the firewall vendors threat database, and using the box’s deep packet inspection to verify gnarly stuff isn’t coming over port 80 or other common protocols. You want it in an appliance so that you can be assured of isolation from the rest of your network. You can run firewall software in a VM, but you would still want that VM’s host physically isolated or with dedicated NICs for the VM.
There are many different reasons for not upgrading a program.

Mine is a bit ridiculous. I never upgrade the Firefox browser, as a matter of principle. The reason is that last time I did, Firefox would refuse to open new tabs unless it was restarted. I did not want to restart it, since i'm running a few windows in private mode, using different 2FA logins, and that would entail to fill-in a lot of passwords and type a lot of numbers received from several SMS. That was very annoying, and I vowed to never upgrade Firefox again. Does anybody know a workaround for this stupid problem of mine?
Tuesday, July 3, 2012. Did that ruling change anything in practice? I don't see ads for used Windows licenses anywhere.
It does because Apps have to be able to communicate with their store, and that could enable bridging between apps which breaks the sandbox. It's all up to the store provider, see more detailed reply in parallel comment.
I've personally never used facebook actively and deleted my account soon after I made it. LinkedIn I have an account but I honestly never find a use for it even though I wouldn't be super against it.

A lack of both of these would not inconvenience me in any way personally and I find the claim that going without them being a lot of work questionable. Maybe I've just been lucky in who I work for/with?

Facebook is also behold to the US government demands, as we have seen in the hearings during the last few days.
We paid a lot of attention to this exact problem at Delver, talking to potential users it was a big concern especially for reporting/BI. We’d never give results until we had a single unambiguous parse of a question, but this required a core that was quite old fashioned NLP, with machine learning only really being used around the edges. So ultimately we’d always generate a series of parse trees with embedded semantics that composed together, but the parser could look at things like external ontologies or word embeddings to try and work out the exact analogy in the domain for something the user said (and confirm with them that the new language was what they meant).

You do not seem to know what a slum is and therefore I want you to stop misusing that word.

Slums are usually the result of government restricting or failing to build enough housing (of the right kind) which forces people to build their own permanent housing without any permits at all. Because slum residents have to pay for the entire building upfront and build it themselves you can expect the quality of the buildings to be very low.

There are slums in San Francisco. Those so called "tent cities". You get rid of slums by fulfilling housing demand.

He was allowed to coordinate a government-wide campaign that was impacting a large amount of people, and violated various integrity codes of NOAA and resulted in citizens being provided with false information, as well as eroded the trust of people in an integral agency.
If the UI is changed to fix "bugs and security issues", I'm perfectly fine.

If the UI is changed:

* for no reason (other than justify the salary of the designers team)

* just for the sake of "give the impression of evolution", but really it's just hiding or moving buttons and menus and changing font sizes, colors, layouts...

* or to intrusively insert new and unrelated products, in the middle of the original workflow

* or to remove (or change) basic and intrinsic product functionality

* or to prevent to continue the (intended) workflows acquired with previous usage

then I'm not so fine...

anyway, what is mentioned is just that automated updates (and this does not apply to web applications I think), shouldn't do that change, without an "option to stick to the previous" UI. At least in minor version updates, I totally agree.

Edit: format and verb tenses

I'm confused about why this is big news.

The executive order bans (to-be-defined) transactions with ByteDance and subsidiaries with the carve-out of "notwithstanding any contract entered into or any license or permit granted before the date of this order."

Wasn't it going to be required by law for Kevin Mayer (as an American) to leave TikTok or become a lame-duck CEO? If he didn't leave, he couldn't accept, for example, new stock grants.

Working for TikTok and holding an American passport is a colossally dumb idea.
Europeans have one thing in common though: they aren't americans, disregarding the minority of stationed soldiers, diplomats, expats, immigrants, etc.

"As an European" is a good way to state that you are indeed not an american. The general assumption on places like hn is that you are one. It's visible in the topic choices. As an example, the team viewer IPO, even though it's been a multibillion IPO, didn't get into hn while tons of SV tech startups do.

What if I chose the wrong abstractions (coupling things that shouldn't be coupled and splitting things in the wrong places) and have to refactor the implementation to use different interfaces and different parts?

All the tests will be testing the old parts using the old interfaces and will all break.

Bytedance is incorporated in the Cayman Island, its not a Chinese company. It has a subsidiary in Hong Kong that operates the Chinese business. Its this portion of the business that has to adhere to Chinese laws. The rest of the company, including the US subsidiary is not under the jurisdiction of Chinese laws, and the US subsidiary fully owns TikTok. The data storage and content moderation are all handled by US employees. If the parent company or Chinese government is forcing US employees to censor based on Chinese government demands or steal US data, I am pretty sure US employees would have said something by now. Instead, they seem to proud of the security work they have done. I have seen a lot of anti-China videos on TikTok.

The US subsidiary of Bytedance that operates TikTok is subjected to US jurisdiction and US laws. US government has equal amount of control over it compared to Facebook. TikTok was sued and fined before for breaking under age related laws.

Bytedance's CEO is Zhang yiming, is a Chinese national. And its board has one Chinese national and three non-Chinese nationals. It's owned by a number of international investors, these investors likely have a say in the company as well. These people would not have built a company with Chinese government DNA. Zhang yiming himself has criticized the government in the past. Although he has toed with Chinese government lines in China because he has to. But he personally admires the US and its political culture. The management is also saying they are moving HQ to other countries. I think given the management's mindset, they really want to deal as little with the Chinese government as possible. Working on behalf of the government, nah, its not their mindset. To be honest, it might be even smart for the US government to lure Bytedance management, get them to declare they support liberalism and American values and use Bytedance to spread American values to China. Instead, US gov's action to force a sale is basically extortion and coercion. And having government take a huge chuck of the transaction is stealing personal property. It goes against all that US stands for, rule of law, justice, protection of private property. There are a lot of people in China loves the US and American values like the above, in turn they emigrate to the US and hate Chinese government. That image has definitely being broken a bit by all of this.

We could always go with the assumption the president is a bumbling idiot who can't tie his shoes properly. I'm sure that characterization will help understand the deeper picture here. /s

You fail to see the point. I don't care either way how you wish to view the president, but your projections serve no purpose in understanding the reason why these events are taking place and what their ramifications are. As I stated in another comment, you seem to have a very shallow view of politics that doesn't extend past media hyperbole.
This is a poor solution because I think most people just use ssh-copy-id and don’t actually look at the file. It ships with openssh. For the standard way that I copy my ssh keys to a new host, I’d never see that warning.
This is a real 'Stallman moment'. The issue there is less about updates, than about non-Free software (the thing the FSF talk about), and data silos (the thing the IndieWeb folks talk about).

You committed to a non-Free software solution, the maintainers of which held all the power over the software, denying you the freedom to have the software do as you wish. When they make a decision, it's to maximise their benefit, not yours. (They might also do so incompetently.) When they make a decision against your interests, unfortunately you have little recourse.
I've never used AwesomeWM but from a brief reading, maybe it could do part of what you want: "maybe select a group of windows and make them my current view".

From what I understand, windows don't belong to a workspace, but a workspace is a collection of windows having a certain tag. A given window may have multiple tags, so it can belong to multiple workspaces.
I have been in IT for over 20 years now.

I have had orders of magnitude more problem with updates than with malware/viruses/hackers.

The thing is with malware/viruses/hackers sooner or later something will get through any defences, so you need robust recovery system anyway.

And most updates that brake systems are not even security updates.
I wouldn't mind automated security updates, but many many many maybe most vendors pile whatever happens to compile to their updates so that they customers can test it for them.

If you have to do all that, it costs a lot more to develop updates. I think most developers mean well but just can't afford to do it all.

For example:

> should be incremental and security or bug fixes only

That means maintaining multiple releases of the app, and porting fixes between those versions, while also maintaining data migration logic when fixes affect data formats. I've maintained an enterprise software suite before where we did it like that, and it added a double digit percentage to the cost of development. You also get drawn into a discussion of what exactly constitutes a fix. Some users consider a missing feature a bug, sometimes they're right.

> should never update a user interface without allowing the previous one to be used as the default

I hope you've maintained a very clean separation between view an controller layers, because otherwise you'll have duplicate business logic and tons of bugs. Again, been there, done that, was not a happy camper.

> must allow a revert to the previous situation

So, maintaining and testing data migration algorithms in both directions then?

> should never change the format of data already stored on the system

Multiple independent read and write paths? How many combinations of UI and data logic do you get? A combinatorial explosion can cause this to become effectively untestable.

Granted, some developers are bad, and abuse automatic updates. I swore off Oracle Java after a security update installed malware on my system (called Norton Antivirus). But most developers are not like that. They mean well, they're doing the best they can given their limited resources.
