Unlikely, random noise does not compress. It's practically always unique.
As a matter of API, yes. Conceptually, though, inodes are unique per filesystem, and names are not. Given symbolic links, even assumptions about path+filename are not always correct.
The prosumer market is huge and mostly Windows. Most dev work is still mostly Windows (I think). HN is an anomaly.

TypeDraft: Use Pattern Match DSL
There are two entirely different matters being conflated here:

"Where will crime happen" prediction, which is based on crime reporting data for the most part and, as a sibling by comment by
motohagiography articulates very well, the solution is upstream. This tool is useful, but problematic. Especially with "more encounters with police lead to more charges of all types" issues.

"Who will commit crime" predictions are just plain problematic; they discard the entire premise of innocent until proven guilty that is supposed to underlie Canadian enforcement and jurisprudence as well as tend to be self fulfilling prophecies.
Data Protection Mistakes to Avoid for Startups
In particular, small business owners that are operating at 100 miles an hour to get their business off the ground,
tend to forget about the importance of data protection. So, if you’re a startup and you haven’t put much thought into
your data protection yet, it’s always a good idea to get a strong system in place right from the very start.

I'm pretty sure its because falling hundreds of feet into water is more survivable than hundreds of feet into earth or concrete.

There are flights, however, over land, but they usually involve a lot of practice and permitting.
They do and they are -- alot of the tech/methodology was initially developed for identifying and proactively intervening high-risk individuals for counter-extremist purposes. Governments do things like buy search engine ads to counter misinformation, etc. This type of capability can be applied to things like opioid intervention.

The problem is that the issues are being "attacked" from the perspective of criminality vs. public health or other scenarios. When you look at correlating factors with say, opioid abuse, things like transportation, access to healthcare, etc are prominent.

The Problem with C
Oops. This is why I try not to rush HN comments. This one I did and tried to remove my partial list of complaints about Mozilla and left one element, that’s not the most important one.¹

Mozilla markets Firefox as ‘the only browser made for people, not profit’. But they’ve done the exact opposite time and time again. Virtually the single most prominent UI element, the omnibar, has been sold out to the single largest threat to the open web, the gatekeeper to the entire internet to the vast majority of its users. I don’t want to spend all day railing against Mozilla, as easily as I could, but I can easily find a couple other examples off the top of my head. The Mr. Robot scandal is another example of selling out and (not necessarily directly harming but very significantly) alienating users. And it’s been a few years since I’ve used FF as my main browser but I still remember every time I installed it on a new device going into settings and changing default after default to revert it back from a profit-seeking product to a personal tool, disabling telemetry, etc.

1: Although it does make a difference to me. I’d use pre-Chromium Edge if it was FLOSS, on my OS, and let me use Pentadactyl. The excuses for XUL’s removal — security, stability, and speed — don’t concern me: https://yoric.github.io/post/why-did-mozilla-remove-xul-addo... seems to claim it would allow someone to somehow steal my passwords. I’ve been using Palemoon for years and I don’t have any weird activity on any of my accounts, and I keep my browser sandboxed (something Firefox should do better by default, one way it’s behind Chromium) so I don’t have any other security worries. I have no stability or speed issues, and maintainability seems like a non-issue given that an apparently one-man main team keeps Palemoon running.

I’m not buying into this article. Twitter for example isn’t reining this “opinion power”, the bad actors (certain “politicians”) are the ones reining the opinion power. Placing a warning label that a politician is saying something factually inaccurate isn’t reining opinion power

Additionally the title is very click bait. There is no data or any kind of citations that can be used to conclude attempts to regulate misinformation amplify the bad actors efforts as the title would imply, in fact the paper attempts to point at other countries that have regulated things like child pornography and hate speech which is pretty unrelated to the matter of regulating misinformation

Who cares though honestly. Cry about it TikTok. Honestly ALL social media should be banned. Citizens don't understand the privacy that is being exploited while they think that they're benefiting from a "free service." Besides these companies are mostly fueling a toxic culture that glorifies sin while they get rich off of the poor. Plus it's the American market and we get to make the decisions here about other countries even if it's extremely authoritarian. And honestly china is a despicable marketplace (not to say fight fire with fire) but gg dude, go to other markets they have been exploiting our market for as long as society can remember. Go do business elsewhere. They're already stealing all of our IP and not required barely any pay to make it. So let's set some boundaries where we can.
Google Cloud Functions, Serverless and Python

Software development typically requires at least a computer (a Mac for MacOS and iOS development), internet service, and electricity.

Dwarfing those, though, is the significant time software development takes. For OSS, the time is donated, whether by individuals or by corporate sponsors who sometimes dedicate employee hours to projects of particular value to them. But in either case the donator has to be in a position to afford it, which typically means significant income from other means.

> It's not the moderation, it's the moderation combined with effectively gating the ability to run a competing marketplace.

> Apple does this through linking all the components of the stack, their store requires their OS which requires their hardware, and their hardware requires their OS which requires their store. You can't compete on any single level because the whole paltform is a monolith.

I think this focus on Apple is missing the forest for the trees. For all but multi-billion dollar companies, Android is effectively no different from Apple, and they allow everything that Apple does not in this regard.

If Apple enables third party stores on iOS after this lawsuit, nothing will change for any of the small app store developers. The App Store will remain the place where >95% of the people get their apps. The same exact situation will apply: either get on the App store, or don't earn any money from your app and your business is doomed.

The only ones that will benefit from this change are the multi-billion dollar companies that have enough brand recognition to start a competing store. Then people will begrudgingly download the "Facebook store" to download the "Facebook app", and they will download the "Epic store" to download "Fortnite. For anything else, they will stick to the App Store.

The core problem is that most users do not want to use different digital stores. This is evident on other platforms where users have total freedom in choosing which store to use, yet they still end up flocking to the same store. For PC gaming, for example, everybody effectively uses Steam, and most people simply don't buy games that are not on Steam. The exception to this are large companies that have the brand-recognition to start their own store (Epic, Blizzard, EA, Ubisoft, etc...). All smaller companies still rely on a single private company (Valve) to allow them on their store, or suffer a huge penalty in their income.

I think regulating the App/Play/etc stores themselves would be more beneficial, preferably modifying them to be based on open protocols without having an unnecessary middle-man take a 30% cut. I would like to see all these closed platforms opened up. That would be beneficial to all developers and all consumers.

I fear that if the result of this lawsuit is only that competing stores will be allowed on iOS nothing meaningful will change. It will be beneficial only to large multi-billion dollar companies, while effectively changing nothing for small developers and having a small negative effect for consumers.
I am that homeowner. Here are some things I use my tractor for: turn compost (6ft tall piles), till a large garden, grade landscaping for drainage, dig holes for posts and plants, distribute mulch, repair driveway and distribute gravel, and help my neighbors with many of these same items.

I also use it to move heavy items like wooden beams and Mac's mom.

All of this could be done without the tractor, so I wouldn't say it's necessary. My back is not wrecked right now, though, I'm glad I have it. Also, I imagine my use will slow after having lived here for longer (only been a few years so far) - we have several projects we want done at the moment.

The way I figure I could rent a tractor for about $150/day when I need it, or buy an old one for $6k to use for many years and then sell it... probably for near $6k (I know I've spent money on maintenance). Renting every other weekend is annoying, and I often work 1 hour in the evening.

Anyway, hopefully this helps answer your question about why someone with a few acres would own such a thing.
My first cat passed away from FCoV. It's an incredibly brutal and strange disease.

From what I understand Bella Thorne promised full nude images. When the image that users payed for wasn't full nude this upset many users. Since OnlyFans lacks a refund system many users issued charge backs in order to get their money back. The large number of chargebacks are what prompted OnlyFans to make the changes.

You're taking the current Apple developer program as an eternal truth, when in fact it has changed significantly over time.

Before the App Store, you could develop for the Mac completely free. There was a developer program, which was much more expensive than $99 per year, but it was mainly concerned with WWDC and pre-release builds. There was even a hardware discount for developers, which was very popular, and effectively made the developer program pay for itself in many cases.

When somebody like Bella Thorne wants to "destigmatize" sex work, what exactly is he she talking about? Does she just want more people to respect the profession outright? Because I think there are a number of hurdles to this, even if we completely ignore traditional views on sex/relationships that a huge fraction of the country holds. Sex workers are luxury service workers. The job is transient and alienating. I feel like there are legitimate reasons to be wary of sex work, even if you don't subscribe to "all sex for all people must be in dedicated long term relationships".

> On the contrary, the claim is that without the GPL, commercial UNIXes would still be around.

I'm not sure this is true. See LLVM as an example. GCC existing and being GPL only meant that, e.g., Apple couldn't properly use it. Apple could have bought LLVM and kept it private, or develop their own proprietary solution and not make it open source, or fork the open source project into a private project and never contribute anything back, etc. There were many options.

Open source software has always existed, if anything, the GPL demonstrated that a particular open source model does not work well for a big part of the industry, while it works well for other parts, and non industrial usage.

Linux being successful seems incidental to it being GPL'ed, at least to me. Other open source OSes, like BSD 4.x, have also been quite successfull (powering the whole MacOS and iOS ecosystems, after a significant frankenstransform into Mach). Maybe Linux would have been even more succesfull with a BSD license, or maybe it would be dead.

I don't edit code on servers either, but I frequently need to debug systems, or do experiments or develop in containers set up for that purpose. As such it's not unusual for me to work with dozens of different environments in the course of even a week.

It's not just about having my editor available, but being able to trivially easily pull in the basic tools to do what I want, and that is especially important during emergencies, but it's also about convenience in other situations.

It sounds like you're lucky enough to deal with very simple environments. That's great. I'd still argue the cost in time of committing your config is so low that it'd be worth it. It takes pretty much one reinstall before it's paid for itself, or one instance of being somewhere without your usual environment.

Or one instance of doing something silly to a config and forgetting what you changed.

The nice thing about it is that it can start extremely light-weight - just literally a "git init" and .gitignore everything, and then gradually force add and commit.
No, IE11 (including Trident, JScript, etc) will remain supported as long as Windows 10 is supported, as it's a built-in Windows component.

You're probably asking "Isn't IE on track to be phased out" because Microsoft recently announced that the web versions of Office, OneDrive etc will stop supporting IE11 in mid-2021.

IE11 will continue to be supported to make it easier for enterprises to upgrade their intranets over time. The new Chromium-based Edge actually has a deployment mode where you can use Group Policy to load some sites using the IE engine[1]. This requires the IE DLLs to be present on the system.
