At least the Twitter client on Android lets you switch to the "Latest Tweets" timeline (via that "Star" icon in the top-right corner - same as on the web client) which doesn't have all the "engagement features" of the "Home" timeline (like showing "xxx liked"). IFIR twitter automatically switched back to the Home timeline after a little while, but eventually it seems to learn to stay on the Latest Tweets timeline.

Ask HN: I live outside the US, I want to file a software patent in the US
I am looking into ways of getting green card through EB-2 NIW and I am assuming having a software patent in the US might help me in getting the green card.

Anyone has a guideline on how to prepare and submit a software patent?
> The Belarus government can just block the App store entirely and may, if Apple does not comply.

So what???

Protestors are being imprisoned and tortured, they actually hanged protest organizers from trees, as a scare tactic, does Apple really want to go on public record as an enabler of this?

It is ethically abhorrent, disgusting and beyond terrifying.

If the team responsible for this at Apple is reading this thread, you should know you have blood on your hands.

What drives decision makers to want an extra million dollars at the expense of the already-poor?

You would think Apple would be content with its billions and could care less whether authoritarians are mad it them because protesters are evading abuse in prisons.
While I haven't done extensive historical research on sleep habits, the limited history that I have read makes me doubt your assertion. I think being up for a bit during the night and siesta are both things that can potentially happen while keeping a healthy circadian rhythm, but I don't think they are necessary for a healthy circadian rhythm. My impression is that siesta is a very common human practice with a boiological basis, but I'm not convinced that the same is the case with being awake for a while at night.

I suspect the human body can adapt to many different schedules and some will work better than others for each individual. My sense is that the most important thing is keeping a very regular schedule to make sure that when we are sleeping we are fully asleep. For me being awake at night seems to independently cause trouble and I suspsect this is likely true of most people, but it might not be the case with everyone. Even so, I suspect an irregular sleep schedule is much worse than being awake at night.

Yep, in my rather brief experience (limited to NZ and WIPO stuff) you register trademarks in classes you're engaged in business in (and not having a current business in a given class is grounds to not grant or revoke a granted trademark, to avoid squatting.)

The classes WIPO uses are here: https://www.wipo.int/classifications/nice/nclpub/en/fr/?expl...
Tim Cook’s twitter bio[1] has the following:

> “Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'” - MLK

Considering this and the HKmap.live[2] situations, I’d say that in his case the answer to that question is “not much”.

The article discusses the different types of infinity known to Aristotle: “An infinitely long line would be actually infinite, whereas a line that could always be extended would be potentially infinite. Aristotle argued that the actual infinite didn’t exist." the article shows that Archimedes dealt with both, mathematically. And both are accepted today in mathematics, although calculus deals with the potential infinite.

There is another type of infinity I'm looking to understand or find a mathematical name for. I recently read Spinoza's Ethica (Ethics demonstrated in the style of geometric proofs) where he uses infinity axiomatically to refer to what might be called "allness infinity". I don't know another mathematical name for the concept, even though it is quite intuitive.

Looks cool, I have a small non-open source solution for this purpose that caries this out just using different syntax. The focus there was getting jupyter notebooks and dashboards that also detail their runtime environment requirements.

Compared to R, pythons imports syntax and handling is a god-sent when sharing code, but we still saw a lot of people get stuck after cloning a notebook or dashboard trying to figure out all the dependencies they needed to set up to run it.

Now they just copy the notebook/dashboard and first run configures everything For them referencing both internal and external dependencies.

It’s a small but important difference especially for juniors.

In the future I would love for python just to support something like “import pandas==1.1.3@pypi” and having that automatically do what every python developer who works with virtual envs would do if they saw the “==1.1.3@pupi” in a comment after the import. But then obviously also supporting installs from other sources than pypi.
You're framing this debate as if apple PR statements "we're doing all of this for our user's best interests" were true.

They're not. They're doing this for maximizing the companie's profit. Which they absolutely don't need to (it's not like if apple was struggling financially, or trying to find an subtle business model that works).

Why? trademarks are not incompatible with capitalism
Either that's not correct, or the lawyers employed by these companies don't know the law because I [and other people] have definitely had designs rejected by POD sites for "trademark violation" when there was obviously no intent to "pass off" [which is what trade-marking is meant to prevent].

Someone just happened to have used a trademarked word in a design or its title or description.

I suggest you have a trawl through that reddit link I posted above and read a few of the threads where people have posted examples of this happening to them.

I’m not sure what policies are in other countries, but Canada’s providers offer financing for all phones on 2 year contracts. You are forced into a high cost plan (it’s not uncommon for a flagship phone to require a $90+ plan), and on top of that pay PHONE_COST/24 as a monthly payment (an extra $30-50).

I wonder how many adults think “easy comfortable payments over 24 months” isn’t the same as spending >$1000 for the latest phone up front.
They might argue it’s up to the incumbent to protect its brand, crushing the competition and holding the market under a tight stranglehold. Like the Romans: Ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant.

Trademarks only apply within classes of goods and services you're a) in business in and b) have registered them in and c) in the countries you've filed applications in.

And there are multiple live trademarks of Taco Tuesday in the US: http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=toc&state=4803%3Ai...

In fact, in the field of Restaurant Services, two existing usages dating back to 1979 exist - one held by Taco John's everywhere except New Jersey[1] and one held by a hotel only in NJ[2].

And it looks like they're having a court case to see who truly owns Taco Tuesday®.

But none of those Taco Tuesday trademarks would prevent you from selling an app called Taco Tuesday that has nothing to do with food. Or start a clothing brand called Taco Tuesday. Etc. etc.

Apple is forcing something? What?

Apple is giving Proton Mail the opportunity to come on to their platform and make more revenue. They are not forcing them on to their platform. If Apple didn’t exist, PM would simply not even have this opportunity. Mobs come into your business and demand revenue. Here proton mail is coming into Apple’s business and demanding revenue. Who’s the mob here?

And yeah, word choice matters if you want to be credible and taken seriously. I called the tone of this post naive because “stumbled into some plans” all innocent-like is comically naive from a large company that openly sells plans, wants access to a third party market place, and acts like they’re entitled to that marketplace for free. Instead of projecting competence and offering a compelling legal argument, the post plays dumb, which is sad when coming from a company that sells global security. You’re a company selling me encrypted messaging and you’re confused by Apple’s highly readable store rules?
Ah, so you have no facts but you can wave your hands around a lot. That’s great to know.
I thought people shouldn't post anything about bash on HN? The minute you post something about bash immediately you will draw out a whole bunch of folks from the wood works talking about how bash sucks and should never be used for anything more than 3 or 4 lines and how they replaced bash with python or some thing else, immediately in turn drawing out a bunch of other folks talking about how bash should be replaced with power shell and how you can parse objects better ... .
Given the critical importance of sleep (if you don't have enough, you die or go insane) - the default assumption should really be that anything that interrupts natural sleep/wake cycles is damaging, and we should have to prove otherwise. I mean, why not? You will notice the effects of going without it much sooner than going without food, for example.

Personally, I totally buy that it could be as bad as (or even worse) than smoking. How much bad stuff has happened due to lack of sleep/quality of sleep that we just discount as due to something else entirely?
41 over 5 windows. With whatever I'm doing at the time, I tend to keep those in a window. I've tried different extensions to keep track/save, but eventually have to bite the bullet and close whole windows after a quick looksy. 99% of the time I can immediately find what I've closed in one search, but that 1% is a bitch. If things get real bad, I might do a quick review and consolidation :) I never really don't have sessions open.

TL;DR! For me, I can always fall asleep within 5-10 minutes of lying down. However on some nights I wake up EXACTLY between 3-4 hours fully energized as if I had 7-8 hours of sleep. Then going back to sleep becomes a problem. This typically happens if I stay on my laptop after 8 pm and particularly if I spend time coding after 8 pm. I am a morning person.

How to Upgrade from Fedora 32 to Fedora 33 on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
Society doesn't have knowledge. Libraries and universities do not have knowledge. Books do not have knowledge. Those are inanimate objects or concepts. They are not living men and women.

The only place knowledge resides in the minds of individual people.

In my view, you are making a category error to subsume your individual understanding, that no one else can access, into some concept called 'society'. There is no hive mind, no borg, no tangible collective consciousness. There are conceptual artefacts we all interact with, and all interpret in similar ways in our individual consciousness. We all know what a 'tree' is for example. These are common linguistic named 'tokens' that we use to interact with others. I say 'tree' and you understand me. But the concept of 'tree' only exists in our minds.

We discuss things in the objective world with others and that use concepts such as 'society' to describe part of that objective world. Our exchange of concepts does not make those concepts real in themselves. They are only real or animated in the mind of an individual - in you or I. They have no life of their own.

To treat 'society' as a real thing - as a sort of ultra-human - is to mistake the map for the terrain. On a map a group of people may be interpreted as a 'collection' or a 'society'. But that is just a concept to navigate the map at a certain resolution. The 'society' concept only resides in the mind of the individual looking at the map - its not actually a real thing. This can be confirmed as other individuals can use a different mental maps to successfully navigate the terrain - eg they may see a collection of individuals as a collection of individuals.
I don't really view that as being relevant. F# compiles `Option.None` down to a null under the covers; what matters is that the type system is null-aware.

The experience is very close. Much more so than with an iPad and Apple Pencil.

I guess what I love about it is that in many ways combines the best of both physical and digital writing. It feels very much like writing with a real piece of paper, and it does not have any distracting apps like social media or a web browser. It also brings the benefits of being a digital device, in that you can edit things after the fact. Such as rearranging pages. Selecting portion of a text or drawing and then move it within the page, or to another page. Do copy and paste, and things like that.

Writing good SIGINT handler is a bit tricky. You should re-raise the signal, so that bash notices that the program was actually interrupted:

How to Make a Guy Like You
While I agree with this (in prod or development headed to prod), I'd love to be able to hand this to some of my colleagues who are either from Ruby or Lisp backgrounds or who do data science for use in Jupyter notebooks. Being able to just start Jupyter, start coding some small experiment and not worry about imports would be useful. Further, it would help my colleagues in data science who require a step by step walkthrough whenever we need to generate requirements.txt.

In my personal case, I have loads of dead code directories for various half-remembered Python ideas. It'd be convenient to have a lighter-weight "experiments" dir using something like this.
Yes.

AMD announced Mantle late 2013, Apple announced Metal early 2014 with initial release mid-2014, AMD stopped development of Mantle as Khronos announced the Vulkan project in mid-2015 (and the first release of Vulkan was in 2016).

AMD was the first out of the gate, but the API style was really in the air at that point e.g. Dx12 was also announced in early 2014 though only released in mid-2015. The high-level OpenGL API style had been getting really long in the tooth by that point, GPUs were diverging more and more from it (requiring more and more complex drivers in order to bridge the divide) and the stateful nature of OGL really hadn't aged well.
Kubuntu Focus Model 2 Launched
Why buy at launch? I'm usually ~2-3 years behind the latest, and especially recently that has worked absolutely fine. I buy my phones second hand in good condition for ~80% less than what they cost at launch. Looking at my current phone, a 7, I realise I'm actually 4 years behind and didn't even notice.
I myself use Arch, so don't have anything against it obviously, but many can't deal with the API breakage that happens sometimes when packages are always on the latest version. I barely write any software that uses the package managers libraries, so don't get hit by this, but some friends of mine complained about this when using arch, coming from debian/ubuntu.

Sometimes pacman upgrades also spits out manual commands for you to follow after an upgrade, while I never had that happen on Ubuntu (using it for my laptop), guess that could be a turnoff for some too.

Yes, it is quite different. Twitter is one of many platforms. If it begins to censor content it’s relatively straightforward to move to telegram or signal of matrix. The App Store on the other hand is a platform of platforms so its decisions affect all platforms on it. if you’re on an iPhone, there’s nowhere else to go. And Belarus has a gdp per capita of 6300. I imagine for most citizens getting a new phone is not trivial.
