yes, so you're saying MIT/BSD licenses should be considered at risk of lawsuits for patent infringement (presumably from the same copyright holder that released the code in the first place)? If that were a realistic threat, most F/OSS projects should shut down tomorrow.

The patent-protection clauses of the CDDL are at odds with the spirit and practice of open licenses anyway, since they are voided as soon as the relevant code is modified.

So basically, the cddl ships clauses that are pointless and likely to be disregarded in practice and in court. Losing them would make no difference whatsoever.

I'm curious how come you didn't move to a customer if customers were offering to hire you every week?
So the modern web is not first class ui development, and JavaScript is not a real language, and the browser is not a real platform.

Classism has no bounds.

It’s entirely possible you’ve written bad UIs with all of those technologies too you know. Afterall, no one has eeever seen a bad desktop application before.

All those compiled type safe languages with native rendering got you some amazing UIs like Microsoft Office suite for decades, right?. All those beautiful java apps for example, right? Everyone’s so full of shit. You guys couldn’t solve it with the exact technologies you are pushing for the web for literally decades.
Show HN: Typelit.io – Improve your touch typing by practicing on classic books
When I was first learning how to touch type, I found practicing to be an incredibly boring experience. So to keep myself entertained and engaged, I'd grab books off my reading list and type them out in a word processor. Sure beat typing drills or replaying Typing of the Dead for the nth time.

I figure others might appreciate not being bored to death while learning to type, so I put together this handy website where you can type up entire classic (aka public domain) books like Frankenstein or Sherlock Holmes.

Have fun, and let me know what you think!
Apple says that App Store is secure and stuff. But it would not become less secure if there are other stores. And everybody who wants security for themselves could choose to use the App Store exclusively.

Everybody else, on the other hand, would not be forced to do the same for the benefit of a big corp.

Sure, I've got relatives who would happily install crap on their devices given the ability, but iPhone's internal sandboxing and containerisation would make it easy for you to completely wipe the apps from third-party stores if someone ever tried to ask you to make a device better for them.

I think, it's a tradeoff, and IMO making people's devices a little bit more trashy in the name of freedom of business and innovation is a worthwile compromise. If only Apple didn't become so greedy and just served their devices owners, we could have had both...
> Once in France, it’s a transfer onto the TGV (but not the high-speed trains, which won’t ply this particular route until 2017)

At first I thought, oh, this is an old article from before 2017. But scrolling back to the top, I see it's from June 2019, so it's puzzling why they would write that.
> Without review, publishing an app with a sandbox bypass, or simply abusing entitlements, becomes trivial.

I don't think this would be trivial either. Given that iOS security has historically been rather good, I guess an attacker would need a reasonably new exploit or even zero day. Assuming an attacker has access to something like that, I'm 99.8% certain he'd be able to sneak past the review process as well.

As Fortnite has demonstrated, it is perfectly possible to sneak past the review process with something as obvious as a third party payment checkout. If something like that is possible, it'd be definitely possible for something like an exploit.

The review process isn't magic
the language isn't the secret weapon - it's the person wielding it. It's just that if the wielder is using a less common language, it makes the news.
That's against the spirit of rickroll, you're supposed to fool the person into clicking it without elaborate tricks, just a link.

It's a little funny to say you transfer onto the Trains-à-Grande-Vitesse (high-speed trains) but not onto the high-speed trains :)
Not a student, but probably older than many people here. I am quite familiar with countries with very low income and the economics of it, the 19% you mentioned is too small to make an impact in pricing, wait until it goes to 60-80%. I read a study made by my employer in China on how people were living on $1/day in rural areas a few years ago, it all makes sense and it matches the examples from other countries. Just consider the car factory would be crewed by people earning $15-20k, same for suppliers of parts and you can see how a car can get cheaper. Also the cars for low income people are modestly equipped with non-essential features like displays, radio, air conditioning and people with $12k income will accept it this way.

The kind of people that live on UBI (with no other job) are not the kind of people that care about savings.
One thing to keep in mind with open ended polling questions like this is that there is that the questions can shape the response. One interesting display of this is that most Americans don't believe that we should take race into account for college admissions, but most Americans also believe that affirmative action for minorities is beneficial.

I don't know what the preferred narrative here has been on the subject, but I think it's been obvious the vast majority of black folks never wanted police protection to disappear, and the lack of assurance in our interactions with police (confirmed by polls mentioned in the article) demonstrates that reform is something that would be strongly desired.
One really valuable thing for me about running SSH on a non-standard port is that it dramatically decreases the noise in my logs. That's not irrelevant!
There's far better ways to do it if you can use online - I submit my card number to them, they pass the card number, their account number, and the amount to my provider, I authorise they payment with my provider.

If you're doing it over the phone though things like public key won't really work - to be long enough would make the numbers impossible to read out reliably, let alone the calculation I would need to do with my private key to prove I own it.
> I thought people here we were meant to be smart enough to avoid confirmation bias?

I think that's actually impossible. I often try to check my confirmation bias, I can make myself consciously aware of it, but I can't undo it. Like an optical illusion, you can't unsee it. Like riding the bike, you can't unlearn it.
hell we just did it with crews of many cruise ships in the US and likely elsewhere[0] the numbers being over 100,000 in total. Most were stranded in US ports because of arduous restrictions by the CDC and the home countries of the crewmen.

So yeah, it might not be an explosive but being trapped on ships with a potential to be sick isn't exactly fun. Sadly a lot of this has to do with out of sight out of mind, these crews are not generally seen by people even though when out on a cruise you physically see them each day.

It is not, but having access to schematics, bom and description of how it works would mean more people looking at it and probing it. This would be helpful in preventing large scale attacks to go for a long time but would not prevent directed attacks (like infecting a single shipment to a single customer).

Also, I always thought bypass capacitors an excellent way to inject malicious hardware. Everybody is practically trained to ignore them and does not expect them to do anything. Yet they have access to almost all signal lines and technically possibility to inject or disrupt signal.
I worked on a PCIE Gen3 retimer. The problem was you were trying to fool both ends into thinking you weren't there and was kind of violating the spec. PCIE Gen4 has explicitly defined the terms allowing you to make a chip that is compliant with the spec to retime the signal.
> Except that communities work equally well with other licenses.

Today. Not in the '90s cut-throat "pirates of SV" environment.
You are missing the point.

How many actually try to reproduce the results by writing corresponding code themselves? Apparently lot of papers with slightly wrong findings because code errors have passed the peer review (all of us in the SWE bubble know how often bugs occur), at least in less prestigious journals.

There is nothing wrong with mandating the code to be supplied with the paper. Because, many time code is somewhere between the experimental setup and proof / result.

Emm. no thank you. History has shown that it will be abused. Also, the curation makes sure, or at least does their best effort, to catch phishing screens etc. Payments/wallet for example require the lock button. You can't mimic that.

The App Store and iOS lockdown are one of the biggest reasons I'm on Apple devices.

On macOS, I think there should be even more sandboxing and process separation.

30% might be a bit too much for certain types of transactions, but that's not the same reasoning as "allow 3rd party app stores"

I'm surprised people aren't talking about other appstores / platforms. It's just good-old-apple-bashing.
Me too. I think, Epic is uniquely positioned also because it is privately held. As such, its actions are more representative of what Tim Sweeney thinks is right instead of the investor mob. And to me as a developer Tim Sweeney seems like a pretty good guy similar to Carmack in many ways.
It’s school equipment, not personal equipment, as should be the Google Account associated with it. The value of these is to the school, not to you, not to your children. Treat it like a work laptop and segregate personal crap from school crap (or enforce this on your kids) and return it at the end of the year if you don’t want it.

Or just send your kids to a different school, but frankly I’m not familiar with your school system or how much choice you guys have on where to send your kids.
You can’t just train people and expect behavior to change. There’s no correlation there. First you have to make people want to change. Only then can training help people change in the way they already want to change.
> that leaves them 9 digits or a billion possible numbers per credit card issuer.

Issuers won’t issue every number, because that would make it trivial to enumerate valid card numbers. I know that PANs are printed in plain view, but they’re considered sensitive.

> I also wonder if credit card numbers aren't living on borrowed time anyway. Instead of adding more digits it might make sense to remove the digits entirely and only allow token based transactions.

It’s already happening! The tokenisation tech that powers Apple/Google pay can now be used by merchants. Buts it’s currently got very low uptake.
> The belief that we do not need police and that a "social worker" is sufficient

I think most people still believe that we need some policing. But that policing isn't solving the longer term problems. We know that sending people to prison has a tendency to turn people into criminals even if their original crime was minor (not everyone of course). So why is that our strategy for dealing for crime rather than tackling the underlying social and economic issues? There's good reason to think that crime levels would be reduced if half the police budget was put into social programs (specifically in the US where police budgets are ridiculous).

This sounds like it should be very unreliable. Perhaps it works in practice but I couldn't see myself relying on such a mechanism.

What do you mean by natural body?
I thought "Sealab 2021"!
It's easy to just not use non-Apple app stores though. That's the current state of things on Google, where other app stores are allowed but the vast majority of people just use Google.

If you personally value security and a smooth user experience over being able to install whatever you want go for it, no one would ever force you to use another app store.

One incident, lane 2 of an unlit section of dual carriageway around 22:00 hrs coming out of Cambridge. Travelling in lane 2, closest to the central reservation which had armco barriers. No cars in front, passed some cars few seconds before hand, saw a bloke crouched down between the two armco barriers and he released a Muntjac deer in front of car in order to cause collision. Cars I had passed earlier, two of them had slowed down in both lanes slowing up traffic behind them. On the surface, if I wasnt vigilant, I'd never have seen the bloke crouched down in the central reservation, but my headlights spreading out to the side gave me a momentary glimpse. Had an accident ensued it would have been passed off and reported as just a wild animal collision, in this case a deer. The fact I saw the bloke crouched down though gave the game away, reported to Norfolk constabulary, they were not interested.
At least it will eventually propagate to all distros now that it's in the stable kernel!

Fedora and other distros with recent kernels already have it.
Do you have sources for such accusations?
What if I tell you it is? Will that information back-propagate into your brain?
If you want only identification, you can use a phone number, for some reason there's no problem with those.
Also there's a large selection bias: people using less common or more esoteric/demanding languages tend to be better engineers who have invested the time in learning something off the beaten path. That absolutely does not mean it's the right decision since most employees will statistically be average and you want to have a stack that appeals to a large enough talent pool.
I totally wasn't expecting this comment. First time hearing it, can you share some links?
Why doesn't Apple bump into the same problem with the App store as Microsoft did with IE and the browser ballot screen, imposed on them by the EU?
They will in a heartbeat, assuming they want to sell anything at all to people who have the new 19-digit cards.
Most people don't know this truth, in particular here in France where the name Cousteau still holds its aura.

I know because I watched and enjoyed the shows as a kid and most people at the time liked him. The only person I knew back then who didn't like the man was my dad (a sailor).

What I mean is the name is still strong enough to attract some interest.
‘/s’ usually means sarcastic when you see it on this site, but you’ve used it in a comment where you meant what you said (you do think it’s good we’re not wasting IP addresses in the same way). That’s why it’s confusing.
> sending people to prison has a tendency to turn people into criminals

You'll be literally voting for the person who sent _thousands_ of people to prison for relatively minor offenses and kept them there for slave labor, and the guy who wrote the laws under which she had done so.
I'm just excited that I'll be able to write app extension APIs defined in C and host them in a wasm runtime that doesn't have to run in a different process to keep those extensions on their best behavior and not crash the app when they segfault.

Not 100% sure if that's possible with WASM runtimes now or if it's faster (IPC can be quite fast) but that's my hope.

Donetsk is 600km away in the wrong direction. The Kiev-Moscow trains cross the border at Seredyna-Buda, which is open and safe. Ukraine has said that it will stop those trains, but it's also said that it will build a border wall; whether anything will actually come of it I rather doubt.

While social workers might be useful in Detroit, we are unlike Chicago in that we don't have a very heavy handed PD, but also one with significantly less funding and man power - we could use more funding to improve our abysmal response times in many neighborhoods.

However Detroit's PD still has bad cops even if they are miles ahead of other police departments, even though we could use more police in general - I don't think more "heavy handedness" or "aggressiveness" is useful or desired.

Indeed, and in the Netherlands there is something similar to Avtalegiro as well, since more than 20 years ago. And depending on your bank, they even make it easy to reverse a charge up to three months after it has been made if you don't agree with it.
And not figuring out a way to make a memorable name in a space that addressable is bullshit. I've been able to find plenty of two word .coms and built companies on them.

Feature parity is impossible. Webextensions are intended to take away possibilities like altering the UI or calling out to external programs. So webextensions will never ever be on feature parity with XUL addons. Also, changes to webextensions are proceeding at a snails pace, suggesting that Mozilla doesn't really intend to get anywhere close to working support for e.g. keybinding remapping or anything like that.

If you are waiting for more powerful webextensions, abandon all hope. Change is not coming.
I don't think it's true.

I believe the reason we have linear or stable infection rates is that the determination to stop the virus grows as the number grow and then wanes as infection rates fall.

This basically works like a thermostat (viro-stat?) and is due to governments or large parts of population not willing to put up with restriction when rates are falling ("why do I need to comply, this is no longer a real problem?")

This is what I see here in Poland. The government supposedly "closely" watches the situation and puts new restriction wherever the infection rates spike but then promptly removes them when they start falling to what is described as "acceptable level".

This is no way to combat the virus, this is the recipe to keep it around indefinitely.

> far better on the iOS side than on the Android side.

From my experience - latest Android on a Pixel phone is as good as the latest iOS experience.
Where do you see iOS's being a "far better" experience?
The problem with the App Store monopoly is greatly aggravated by the fact that they are blocking web engine competition on iOS. They don't want PWAs to bypass the system.
> One only needs to look at the behaviour in countries like China or Japan

And I definitely wouldn’t want to live in China and I would be very uncomfortable living in Japan. Singapore really just depends on how much money you have and how easy it is to vacation elsewhere. Aggressive environmental shaming seems to have created a deep divide and shows the exact behaviour warned about in the article where people become defensive and then further entrench their beliefs with some deciding to lean into it and flaunt their “shameful” behaviour in the faces of those trying to shame them. How are these good examples?
I really appreciate the time put into this. Thanks for sharing.
elasticsearch would not cope with that volume of data on the hardware described.

But that's not what you're going to get, folks. Now you're going to get half as many officers, and "social workers" trying to talk sense into armed meth heads. Good luck. All because upper middle class white youth has never interacted with a police officer and thinks you don't need them. Note also that I didn't say "heavy handed". I said "heavy", meaning visible presence, patrols, monitoring.
I see Hey marketing as "Email" more than a client or an app. Yes, it's a weird positioning, but to be fair it's also a weird service.
