From the blog post I understand that my vscode configuration is somehow stored within my browser, not connected to my github account. Is it also stored per project or globally?

Because either choice brings its own problems. I want the vim plugin to behave the same on all instances but language-specific plugins or similar only make sense in the context of a specific project. How does this work currently?
This truly reveals how contrived the argument against allowing other stores is.

Allowing the residents of "Apple Village" to go to another mall to shop does not in any way affect the other residents.

Nobody is arguing for Apple to be "forced to build an expressway", but for them to not put up fences locking their resident in unless they decide to move away entirely.

When one ends up arguing in favour of authoritarianism, albeit fictional, to defend Apple's behaviour, it really drives things home.

Yeah, optimally the app should have been global from the first place. For example if we consider the second wave of the epidemic, which in Finland showed signs of starting (but hasn't really started) straight couple of weeks after travelling abroad opened to several countries and then when the travel restrictions were put back on etc. immediately the contaminations went down again, so they were mostly just coming with people coming from abroad. Perhaps those peoples possible contaminations would have been possible to target already way before with a global app.
Ask HN: How do web crawlers fetch/index social media platforms?
Most content in the social media platforms are dynamic and generated per user based on their friends, iikes, subscriptions etc. Does this mean search engines don't get to index any of the contents shared in social media platforms ? Does Google deploy any special tricks to crawl and index content that's 'normally' not accessible ?
So when is this going to replace Google as default search engine in Safari?
We’re a UK company, and we had an incredibly persistent spammer. He’d also send us threatening emails. His persistence and nastiness was draining and quite frankly impressive how much time he was putting into it all.

I don’t know if it was coincidence, but after some sleuthing found his real name and did the online FBI tip-off form about his emails to us. He had a bad history and may of been on bail.

Stopped pretty promptly after that - guessing he got a phone call.
Thanks, though I must admit I wasn’t there myself so can’t testify as to the veracity of my attribution! But it does sound like something he might have said.

> This is no different than buying an Xbox or a Playstation or Switch knowing that you will only have access to certain games on each platform. Yes, once you've bought the Xbox you're limited to Xbox-compatible games and it will cost a lot of money to switch to a Switch.

Except, as previously mentioned, you don't switch to a Switch. If you have an Xbox and then go out and buy a Switch, you still have an Xbox. At which point the stores actually have to compete with one another because you could buy a game for either one.

That isn't what people do with phones. They're not going to carry two phones around all the time, but having only one destroys the competition between stores when a given phone can only use one store.

Also notice that the cost of a game (typically $50) is a lot closer to the cost of a console (<$500) than the cost of an app (typically $1) is to the cost of the average iPhone ($800).

In my opinion, we should return to native-only programs and have only semantic HTML in our browsers.
The problem is people aren’t doing it so it doesn’t matter what the intention is. You need to tailor the public policy towards what people will actually do not what you wish they would do. Otherwise you’re left with the half measures that achieve absolutely nothing you see today.

Unity feels like it runs best on Windows to me. Metal bugs caused quite a few Unity issues for me when I was developing on a Mac. That was a year or so ago, so maybe the situation has improved.

Also a lot of useful 3d content creation software is Windows only, or only supports CUDA acceleration, so implicitly rules out Mac from being a first class citizen (e.g. substance painter)

Obviously not every game is the same, or needs fancy tooling. But Windows feels like it just works for game dev.

So protests are ok while they don't inconvenience you?

I don't understand what is your point here, protests are supposed to be disruptive, disparaging the audience is not by design, if you feel that way then you don't really believe in the value of the protest, no?
Haha. That's funny. That's like asking if the neighborhood gang member is FDIC insured before they come ask you to "invest".

Why would someone want to buy tweet.photo? Time to market.

The product already had traction—actual users numbering in the thousands—and from the buyer’s perspective, it was cheaper and/or faster for them to buy vs build a comparable service from scratch.

Also, by owning tweet.photo outright, the new owners can bundle it with other complementary services in their portfolio.

There is a saying that there are two ways to make money in software: bundling and unbundling.
I'm surprised nobody mentioned GitPod[1] - it's in business since quite a while in my GitHub projects, powered by VSCode, with terminal, pretty much everything Codespaces does... Any thoughts on such a comparison? Is GitHub reinventing the wheel locally?

I actually developed a game which used this trick for an Easter egg. I added in a texture for the Companion Cube from Portal, and set the alpha to 1. In game, however, I loaded the textures with only a single bit of alpha, which meant that the alpha of 1 was the same as 255. Not entirely invisible, but was fun to do!
Aren't relational AND syncable very difficult to combine? Foreign key references for example may not yet exist on one instance when they are synced. P/CouchDB and Git support multi master sync which is great, but they are not relational.

The workaround is to detect foreign key violations in your app with indexes or a job that runs on the nodes.

Is not the worst fish in this sense. Cod is worse.

The real problem with tuna is that is an accumulator of nasty substances like mercury and also fast and nomadic by nature. This means that you can find Japanese tuna in California, or the Mediterranean, and this can be a problem.

Most of the fish parasites just turn into food after being cooked. Our stomach acid will not care. The number of marine fish parasites able to harm humans is very small. We are too hot for them. I could count all the major types with my fingers (I was surprised to learn (here) that Kudoa is a new problem in any case).
I agree. I’d focus on a graph database, as it is a better model for most things, and can act as a dumb table too.

If there is ever a Python 4, the number one goal of the project should be to make Python completely hermetic, repeatable, and redistributable. And there should only be one way to do it.

pip, requirements.txt, and venv are madness. Look at how much suffering they cause! I was dealing with (different) pip issues today myself, and it's not an infrequent occurrence.

Rust's Cargo is a good reference point.
Sure, I mean these are one of the best tools for each stage (and they are all not free). But all of it can be done in Blender too in some way or the other saving you from the upfront investment.

I just wanted to highlight the texturing because I really didn't see a way how to achieve my results without going with a commercial product. So based on my experience Blender is lacking quite a bit of features in that space.

I mean, I see the downvotes on my original post but I have the feeling that people tend to praise Blender without even using it productively.

Edit: Can't edit the original post but here are some open tickets about these things if somebody is interested:

I'm pretty excited about what Codespaces is going to bring to the table. I can already see a lot of good use cases.

I've been using an iPad Pro as a laptop replacement for the past year and Codespaces makes it a pretty viable development machine. I'd been mulling over switching back to a laptop, but I'll probably stick to the iPad for now.

Before I was using Blink shell to ssh into my desktop and run Emacs. Not really ideal for me since I mainly use VS Code on my desktop (which is my main computer) and hardly touch Emacs anymore.

A search engine that optimizes for good content instead of SEO-spam and ads would be a very welcome addition. Google seems to have given up on fighting malicious/spammy SEO (I'd expect them to identify and downrank spammy tricks like what the recipe websites do).

It's not THAT hard to reverse transactions between EU banks.

E.g. when that pirate bay founder hacked a bank's mainframe and transferred money out internationally the banks sorted it out, sending it back, without a court.

Maybe you're thinking something specific about "reversing a transaction", but the main point here is that yes if needed a court can just make that reversing happen. Not the case for cryptocurrency. And no matter what the coiners say, irreversibility is very much a bug that society doesn't want.
But you're not saying "four litres of milk" that often. You're saying "a carton of milk" and typically the people understand that that is a litre or 1.5l or whatever it is you usually buy. As for beer, again, where I drink it's typically either unspecified or a "small", being 25cl and 15cl respectively (this being a nerdy craft beer bar where smaller sizes are preferred.) If you do want to say the size, you can just say 25 or 15, no one is going to think you want 15 litres because that'd be weird.

> Immutability is an interesting property, but reality is messy.

Words have fuzzy boundaries - immutable obviously doesn't mean actually immutable. It means immutable like how git is immutable - you're not meant to change history. It'll fight like a tiger to stop you easily changing history. It'll give you two different ways to get what you want while preserving history. But if you want to change history you can.

SQL is said to be declarative but if you get hit dealing with the wrong sort of workload in SQL then the implementation details can start to matter extremely quickly.

In practice, the author probably only means 'much more immutable' rather than 'illegal to use with European data' level immutability.
Here's a two-month-old summary of a few studies from JAMA Cardiology.[1] The most-quoted result is the Puntmann, et al., which has been amended after scrutiny, but showed pretty much the same pattern of results. Googling "COVID" + "cardiomyopathy" offers some more leads. For example, [2].

do you use codespaces in safari? doesn't work that well for me, scroll using a touchpad doesn't work, and I guess not having a real fullscreen mode is kinda annoying too
Man, thank you for writing the last paragraph. I looked at Rust, I quite like the language, I think it gets a million things right and is a substantial improvement over existing languages, but ... every time I point out that Rust does not magically solve all security problems, I need to spend two days dealing with people with less security expertise than me yelling at me that I am wrong and rewriting the world in Rust will deliver enlightenment. That particular fringe of the Rust community almost turned me away from the language.

So reading your last paragraph makes me feel welcome as someone that says "Rust is great - but rewriting everything in Rust will not solve security". Thanks. <3
I mean, I haven't see any ToU for HN. The Legal section always linked to ycombinator.com pages.
It stores settings just as usual in .vscode/settings.json in your project. (I usually have .vscode in my .gitignore, but maybe it make sense to include it in the repo.)

Additionally, there is some "Settings-Sync" feature, which I have not really explored yet. Maybe this is global for all instances.

Btw, the startup time of the codespace VM is a bit annoying. It takes approx 30-60 seconds when it was inactive. And it get automatically suspended after 30 minutes of inactivity.

Interesting take on the fact that there are basically no scientific facts for people who claim to support them.

A list of questions that should have been answered before any response was put in place.

What is the death rate per infection.

What is the asymptomatic rate in the general population.

What is the transmission rate for asymptomatic carriers.

A small army of less than 10k researchers sampling the whole population of the US at random would have been able to answer those questions in a week and we could have decided on an actual scientific response. Instead of whatever ideological response we get depending on who is in power at whatever level of the government.

It could be that letting the virus run wild as fast as possible is the best possible response. It could be that we need to take a note from China and weld people in their houses. We don't know, and no one wants to find out.

Anyone who says 'scientific facts' with a straight face when making a suggestion about the pandemic with the state of knowledge we have is at best clueless and at worst a charlatan and should be removed from whatever position they currently occupy.
I’ve reported issues with POIs in the UK via the in-app features (“Edit Location” and “Report an issue”) and they were fixed within a few days.

In a nutshell, English barristers must accept cases from anyone regardless of their circumstances or character otherwise “an unpopular person might not get legal representation; barristers who acted for them might be criticised for doing so”.

“Justice” is the result of the process by which trials are fair - is one way of looking at it. Contrasted with the view that once we know who the bad people are (how?) guilt is presumed and summary punishment is all they’re entitled to.

I’m not an Apple person, I’m a Linux person although I do have one old Mac as well (that will be retired when it stops being useful - likely in 3-4 years).

I’ve tried to help family who were tricked into a win10 upgrade by the dark patterns of the “free upgrade to win 10” window. Some had to buy new printers/scanners because win 10 didn’t support their perfectly-working in XP and win7 ones. (My modern Linux Laptop had no such problems). Also a WinModem of some sort used as a built in fax machine.

As a Linux person, I find it funny that you refer to Windows as “platform that allows me to install or not”. It allows you to install but as of Win10, unless you are on Enterprise or LTSB, it doesn’t let you not install. It’s no longer your machine - you paid for it, but it’s Microsoft’s to manage/brick as they see fit.

> And how do I do that from inside an already running Emacs session? (Or Vscode?)

From VSCode I just use the integrated terminal to create the venv, vscode's default python extensions recognizes in-process venvs by default and uses them. (The way it installs tooling is broken for them, though, but that's a bug in the extension.)

Though it would be nice if Code integrated poetry so that just having a poetry-compatible pyproject.toml was sufficient.

> Working with .NET, Rust, Node, go, Haskell, etc... I have no such issues.

For most of those (Haskell with Cabal included), they have the same basic issue and solve it with a project file which is pretty similar in purpose and effect to poetry’s use of pyproject.toml.
If 'npm package update' includes the ability to modify strings in served pages, one would assume so.
This might be how the term steganography is mostly used these days, but I disagree that it's the definition of steganography.

An early example of steganography is writing on the scalp of a person and concealing it with the regrowth of hair: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography#History . The message is clear-text, you just have to know where to look for it. Which is the same as in the blog post.

Some other non-computer examples: https://www.commonlounge.com/discussion/4bc16dbc2c7145ff87ad...

At the risk of "appeal to authority", my field of study is cryptography, and we used steganography in this broad sense.

tl;dr: I agree with the blog post in that it is steganography.
