Sad to see they're leaving the Excel add-in development scene behind with .NET 5. VBA is cross platform (PC/Mac) but ugly, old, and very limited. They've hinted at Python scripting support for years, but have never done anything. And now they say they'll focus their future efforts on web add-ins, but from what I've seen web add-ins have been limited to read-only and embedded external content. Plus, most people I know still prefer the desktop version.

I wonder what that stupid Rakuten TV button on my remote for "my" Samsung TV cost Rakuten to put there. I don't want a hardcoded quickbutton.

I haven't seen any dashboard ads on it yet but that is probably becouse there is no regional service yet where I live. I wonder if this is worth it for Samsung in the long term to piss their customers off and get the image of a cheap rippoff brand.
It is so indiscriminate that repos that could be considered dead (7+ years without activity) by the maintainer seems to get massive attention from new accounts just to get that T-Shirt. O_O

Take this kind of comment elsewhere.
I don't necessarily buy that, as that only tends to be the case when there's an overt adversarial note where people don't feel like coworkers can succesfully separate politically induced biases from professional/career interactions. Social behavior is a complex thing. While I've run into cases where a particular coworker struck me that way, I can at least say, I've been blessed with supervisors that haven't struck me as bad in that department. I've been wrong before though.

I remember when these cunts gave a lecture in my CS masters degree...they were so so proud of their achievements.
I suspect that one day we're going to have to start logging into our TVs, and that will be a terrible day.
I would argue that it's hurting those demographics right now. It's never been easier to do a background check, which if you've had a rocky past that you're trying to change, means it's never been harder to escape you're past self. This isn't limited to criminal records, but even just having pictures of yourself underage drinking from 10 years ago, or (publicly) saying stupid things that all of have said at some point in our lives, is enough to lock you out of jobs.

We're left in a situation where -- once again -- the educated and wealthy have an advantage over the poor and unfortunate by just knowing how to hide their mistakes.

Anyone who says privacy is a privileged person's issue is shortsighted
1. Clean air most of the time.
2. Clean water available.
3. Enough food to thrive.
4. A safe place to properly rest and live.
5. A fair job that gives enough to save/invest money.
6. Having friends you can depend on.
7. Respect from authorities (health, equity, privacy, etc would come into this?)

Now imagine the many important concepts these points require to reach.
> literally everything in that paragraph could be written about literally any part of the world

This is untrue. You won't find even a remotely similar tolerance for rule-breaking in Japan.

People are all the same in many ways but cultural differences are still vast.
> quality models

They advertise the display as HDR but the specs say its brightness is a quite poor 280cd/m^2. A proper HDR TV should have quite a bit higher brightness.

I consider HDR to be a far greater improvement in visuals compared to 4k, and something which made my jaw drop the first time I saw it at home watching The Reverend on my Samsung top-end model.
Best point in this thread and unsurprisingly, immediately downvoted by pearl clutchers.

Just to be clear, you’re being downvoted for indirectly going after the livelihood of those who participate in this forum. Samsung getting into the game after SV Web taught them how to do it is making people realize, rather uncomfortably, that this is the world they’ve created now. It’s easy to abstract away commits to a repo when it comes to ethics, but remember, most of you reading this thread are at least complicit in building mass surveillance to make people who aren’t you more wealthy. You either work on it directly or sit at a company that works on it or participates in the ecosystem.

That repulsion you feel for Samsung doing this is exactly how the rest of us feel now that your entire vertical is founded on trading my income and breast size and pregnancy status like I’m cattle. How you want microphones in every home in case I say “tuna would be nice” to make tuna magically appear 49 minutes later in a drone delivered package. How you’re perfectly comfortable tracking everything I do until it touches you when you kick back to watch TV. Then oh my God it’s horrible. Fuck your hypocrisy. It’s so transparent as to be hilarious.

You can downvote me to silence me but keep in mind I’m just taking the time to tell you the other side. If you’d like to remain in a cushy bubble of “this is okay,” keep it up, but remember that you were warned you’re on the wrong side of engineering history and chose to attack the messenger instead of look inward.
I was obsessed with RCT2 in elementary school.

My tastes in video games have changed over the years and I am no longer sucked into the game as I was back then, but I did have a few weeks where I played a ton of OpenRCT2 with a friend - the multiplayer feature of it is a great feature and allowed me and a buddy to have a great time goofing off building rides
This is incredibly full featured.

I wrote a much less full featured and less ergonomic library that targets sh rather than bash. It was 70 lines of shell including whitespace.

Here's an example of its usage[1]. Each option calls a function, optionally with an argument. There is also sugar for options that merely toggle a value.

Non flag parameters call a function "positional parameter" to avoid a dependence on arrays.

It does not generate usage or man pages.

So are these SPACs simply a method of avoiding standard public company disclosures, while providing liquidity to insiders? How would that be a good idea?

They make amazing phones, but yes, their software overlay is trash, IMO. I have a Samsung TV too and don't have it connected to the network so I don't have to deal with the smart TV crap.
Privacy was a major concern in former socialist countries like East Germany were the Stasi and hundreds-of-thousands of "Unofficial Collaborators" spied on millions of citizens. People were very alert in their everyday lives about who they could talk to about what topics (because talking about the wrong things to the wrong people could easily cost you your carreer or land you in jail).

I would hardly call life in the GDR 'privileged'.

It's easy to forget today and from a Western point of view that privacy is a basic human right, not a feature of your smartphone to protect from tracking ads.

Researchers spot origins of stereotyping in AI language technologies
The management maybe. I have a hard time believing that the rank and file engineers get to call the shots on this garbage. I have no special insight into how Samsung works internally though.
That's just more BS excuses. I'm not going to argue this further. It always boils down to "La la la, not listening!"

There is always some justification for how it somehow isn't sexist that I cannot successfully use HN as a means to establish an adequate income, even though plenty of men do so and even though I appear to be the top ranked woman here and it is an overwhelmingly male space and so forth. But I still get told over and over and over "Well, that's not evidence of sexism. You're just basically a Loser."

Uh huh. Whatevs.

There is limited bandwidth of humanity here, there can only be one most important concept. The title argues it is privacy, which is questionable given the much longer term impacts of GHG and destruction of our biosphere.

Other comments have noted that companies spying upon us will lead to less climate action, which I do agree with given a dirth of privacy on a site like FB enables GOP misinformation paid for by fossil fuel interests.

I doubt they meant "no matter how hard you try" nor were limiting this to C programs only. Something the size of Firefox, for example, with hundreds of files, multiple languages and dozens of platform variations, is simply not designed for a fully static build and trying to modify it to build like that would be an absurd amount of work for basically no reason, so it hasn't been done and probably never will be.

Add licensing complications to that (Qt is notorious for this) and OP's statement is for all intents and purposes true.
When cars were invented, producing them in large numbers, operating them efficiently and comfortably would have been a major concern while anyone talking about safety would be ridiculed. As it turned out engineering challenges were sorted out by economic incentives but car safety/pollution control had to be legislated.

In case of cars though wrong design choices in older cars could be phased out eventually but in case of online platforms the choices will remain there for more number of people in terms of market penetration given the explosion social networks are having in the last decade. Even if vast majority of people prioritize other things over privacy, vocal and knowledgeable minority need to raise the concerns of the choices unknowingly being made by less knowledgeable people.
It’s more complicated than just that, though. The boomer generation has been viciously anti-development. Factories make noise and usually pollute, at least a little bit. Good luck building one against the political will of a generation that doesn’t even want housing constructed.

They pulled the ladder up behind them.
> Instead, providing a cross distribution consistent installation experience is the main goal.

Who is asking this exactly?

As an arch user and technically a fedora, Gentoo, slackware, Ubuntu, debian user, I'm not asking for this.

I like how I install packages.

Installing garbage from a webpage like some windows pleb or having to eject weird desktop download things after drag and dropping things on a Mac is not something I want.

Please stop pushing this idea about flatpak being better, its not for a lot of users and for me, security doesn't even enter the equation.

But the idea that random flatpak maintainer has better security processes I place than the sec team for many distros is laughable at best.

You can wrangle the argument all you like about ideal world scenarios but the fact of the matter remains that suboptimal ideal still works out as more effective in the real world. Tragedy of the commons problems generally do require sub optimal solutions in the small to solve in the large.
I think this is misleading advice. I'm sure it's true that when you have amazing opportunities thrown at you at every turn, it's important to stay true to your mission and be deliberate in choosing which ones to pursue. That being said, if you're just starting your career and have limited options and someone gives you an opportunity that is good but perhaps not in perfect alignment with what you ultimately want to achieve / do, you should probably still say yes.

In other words, I would say that you should start your career saying yes to everything and end your career saying no to everything with some type of smooth interpolation between the two states.

Does Pelican allow to use external content files that are not written in Markdown? I'd like to load content from a JSON file to enrich certain pages or even create whole site structures dynamically. I couldn't find anything related in neither the documentation nor the plugin repo.

Exactly. The fraud is on the part of BMW, but also on the SEC for "slapping the wrists" of the OEMs, and not providing serious repercussions for this behavior.
I'd appreciate if you could skim https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. The things that let HN work at this scale are "Be kind. Don't be snarky." and "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."

While it's always possible that HN, or some HN readers, or just yours truly are in a bubble, it's not a good-faith interpretation of my comment. Heck, I don't think it's even a neutral interpretation :-) And bubble or not, a one-line "zinger" regresses the conversation.

Ah, that's useful, thank you. I'm also looking for some personal experience, because, for example, while Hugo looks great on paper, its data model and template language frustrated me to no end the one time I tried to make something with it.
Equating privacy and privilege is not helpful. It is true that the privileged in our society wield more capability to enact protect and enact change for themselves and others in society, and privacy may not be top of mind when ranked against more immediate concerns such as those you have listed, but that doesn't change the fact that privacy is a universal human right and essential to our dignity and the functioning of society. It is something to be valued and upheld for everyone, not dismissed as a concern for the privileged alone.

It's basically mandatory for Netflix at this point. Unless you're a very major provider they really want Netflix will not certify a device unless there's a Netflix button on it.

Certain libs use dlopen() which needs dynamic linking. Mesa, Pam, Qt (static is possible but a lot of stuff will break), Glibc(static is possible but nsswitch.conf will break), Alsa. So most graphical apps will fail to be pure static(Prob possible but will hardware/config specific). So we need to tackle and provide alternatives to dlopen.
I start all my bash scripts from the following template, then modify it as needed. It is not fancy, but I think it supports the lowest common denominator that is compatible with other flag processing systems in all other languages that I am aware of. (In particular, it does not support '--option=opt' but uses '--option opt', which is cross-compatible). I like that it is small, easy to maintain, and avoids external dependencies in my shell script:

I'm not surprised by that. The parent suggested (or I thought that they did) that this was actually the definition for let* . And my point was to show that it does not behave like let* but rather like plain let.
If you don't like this:

1) Buy an Nvidia Shield, Google Chromecast, or Apple TV

2) Connect that to your TV

3) Factory reset your TV and never connect it to the internet again
I think Apple needs to make a TV set. Only then will the marketing message for TV privacy gets pushed through.

But from another angle, I think majority of population would not mind targeted advertising if that means their TV are much cheaper. If we think about it, it is kind of ridiculously cheap you can get a 4K 40" LCD TV delivered to you for under $300.

My experience at large companies is that you have some team who is responsible for securely using third-party software. Making sure that it actually authenticates right so that only employees can see it, that sort of thing. This team doesn’t want to support literally every SaaS application in the world, so they try to choose one supported application per category. Pick either Dropbox or Box, don’t use both of them. Etc.
Or... you could institute tariffs to protect local industry and let Capital do whatever. Ricardo is a shaggy dog story they tell ideologues with linear regression models (aka macroeconomists), not a suicide pact for workers rights.

Most of the stores not long-life objects.

The current store holding most of the displayed data stays alive (while not switching to a different route), but everything else resets or gets recreated when needed.
(no need to keep stores alive if they are not required or used)

Stores for specific "sub" views (think dialogs, tabs, collapsibles, ...) are getting created/destroyed ad-hoc.

Main Store for a specific view holds the current data (which receives updates via gql subscriptions ~every second), the current filter which is applied to it's children (only show Apple related securities) and currently visible/hidden state of any children.

User/App/Global related attributes which don't change often are stored in a globally available object (and is easy for us as users don't log out or anything)
Gosh this takes me back to my childhood. System 6 was the first operating system I ever used. I started with C using CodeWarrior, but I'm pretty sure it was System 7 (or maybe even Mac OS 8) by that time.

This style of fudging and outright fraud on timing (over your quota one month? Report the overage on the next month to give yourself some breathing space), is utterly commonplace within sales culture generally.

I'm sure it doesn't happen everywhere, but where your compensation and value is entirely determined by sales goals, this kind of thing goes on rampantly. For example, the Wells Fargo Account Fraud scandal came from exactly the same kinds of things--A massive drive to meet your goals at the expense of all else. Someone is close to their goal one month, and fudges something ever so slightly to make it; other people hear about it, and then it is routine.

Executives don't care because the numbers look good. Sales people don't care because they are hitting their numbers. Only when an outside force comes along does the house of cards come tumbling down.
There’s a lot of good software that isn’t in package repos. This isn’t a failure in the developers part. It takes knowledge and time and effort to package for a repo, let alone all the different repos on each distro. Flat pack gives a single way to distribute something and on that merit alone it’s valuable.

Body Camera to Record Myself Being Attacked While Voting
I'm probably going to have to vote in person instead of by mail. If I'm threatened or attacked by members of the Proud Boys or similar groups, I want it recorded.

So I'm looking for recommendations for a body camera that will record audio and video, and not just store it in the device, but also stream it in real time (or as quickly as possible anyway) to a remote location. If the camera is confiscated or destroyed I want the video available for me or my survivors.

I'll also take suggestions for an app for my Android phone, although I lean toward a standalone device.
