It is very likely that this symbol is added for baseball. It's not from the Japanese national standard but from a character set for Japanese TV sets called ARIB charset (1). According to Wikipedia (2), ↉ is actually used for baseball scores. It says that if a pitcher is removed before any batter is put out, he threw ↉ innings for that inning on the record.

> un-revoking the certificate would still work fine

It's not a question of whether it would "work". If the private key was out in the wild, then Apple would never un-revoke the cert. That would be insane, because anyone could sign software with it.
> I think there is also no dispute that the wave of privatizations that followed the end of USSR led to an even economically worse situation for the Russian state. The fact that said privatizations were merely a transfer of State assets to a small group of private individuals for pennies on the dollar is a signifiant factor of that.

I'm not sure how to parse this. Certainly I can agree that there is something morally wrong about the process of expropriating assets, mismanaging them, and then transferring them to politically connected people. However the economy now meets the needs of the people better than it did when it was state-owned, and the Russian state is made of people, it has no interests apart from the people who constitute it. If you're presenting a command economy that can't feed its people and a crony economy that does a better job feeding people, I think most people would choose the option where they get fed.

> What's less clear to me is why privatization was the chosen direction instead of a more dirigist approach, and I posit that the reason is the prevailing dogma back then (as promoted by such institutions as the IMF or the World Bank) was that democracy equals free market economy equals prosperity, so the Soviet people naturally believed democracy would be the solution to their economic problems.

I doubt the people had much say in the matter either way.
Does Apple offer some thing like that? Or is it only for photos you take with their devices?

W: "The Italian term fascismo is derived from fascio meaning "a bundle of sticks", ultimately from the Latin word fasces.

The symbolism of the fasces suggested strength through unity: a single rod is easily broken, while the bundle is difficult to break."

So just look for a farming-related item with 2 or more stick-like objects bound together.

I always thought what I wrote would last only months maybe a year or so; then 5 years passes, then 10. Some things I built which contain a lot of the first Delphi code I ever wrote (I was a Pascal coder before that) are still running production 30 years on. And that was the client saying we would probably rewrite ‘in a couple of years’.

Same goes for webcrap; I have some horrible php and jsp prototypes from the early 2000s which have been running production ever since.

wow, that's as simple as it is genius.

the core of the hack is the realisation that one can generate arbitrary tcp or udp packets from a browser by exploiting ip packet fragmentation (embed the evil packet in a large http post request that gets fragmented at just the right place).

and worst of all: i don't see a quick way to mitigate this. afaict, router firmware will need to be updated to check the fragment offset, right?
> My point, again, was that such a request is NOT "unusual"

That depends on what "unusual" means. The only good reason for a developer to request their cert be revoked by Apple is if the private key is compromised, in which case Apple should definitely grant the request. Otherwise, there's no reason.
Stallman is from a time when you didn't have a billion people click yes on everything presented to them in order to play a game. Even in 2012 when the article was written, this was true. Or a plethora of fake AV that look as legit as the real stuff. It would be different if legitimate software that did what it implied/said and scam software were differentiable. Just like we don't allow unapproved vehicles to be driven on community roads.
Very important to note that the non-fasting mice were significantly less heavy:

So this could be due to lower overall caloric intake.

Well, HTML/CSS/JS apps can fit into 5mb size even they contain HTML/CSS/JS engine linked in.

I've started publishing Sciter.JS builds to prove that:

https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk

Those binaries contain HTML5, CSS 2.1 + some Level 3 modules and full ES6 engine.

4-5mb of binaries is comparable with native hello-worlds of purely native Qt, wxWidgets, etc.
Nobody is absolving HP. The problem is that there were 2 mistakes in this case. HP mistakenly requested that the cert be revoked, and Apple mistakenly granted the request. If Apple had said no, this problem never would have occurred.

Agreed there’s a lot of rug pulls out there but you got to take the good with the bad in cycles like this it’s a gold rush just like the many that have gone before it
PHP has been optimized to death so performance wise it’s excellent (same as javascript, it should not have become so fast, but the sheer amount of work done on it gives it an edge).

The other advantage over ruby (python too?) is the server models bootstrap and trash everything on each request, meaning way less weird memory issues and more predictable behavior.

Nowadays nobody’s gonna run a php server ad hoc, so it will be wrapped in a container anyway, but IMO it’s still easier to manage than ruby/puma.

Last but not least, it’s very subjective but I think php has better enterprisy trade-offs than ruby: you’re not free to rewrite the whole language but have a decent degree of freedom in writing code with few boilerplate. Ruby gives way more freedom which is not always an advantage depending on the work culture.

I say that having left php for ruby.
Makes sense. Making these systems behave well doesn’t seem so hard if it’s starting from the correct principle: never encourage the driver to not drive the vehicle. Assist, but don’t take over.
I will assume this is an honest un-loaded question, but would be most comfortable giving an honest answer in a throwaway.

First, I think Connery was pretty clearly saying that slapping a woman isn't always abuse, not saying that it is abuse and abuse is okay. Besides being literally false if narrowly interpreted, this violates the HN guideline, "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize."

Second, because it's an attempt to side-load a hot-button topic into a non-political thread, and HN frowns on that. (Note that the hot-button topic is "Were Connery's comments acceptable", which was contentious at the time he made them and still is today; it is not, as OP's phrasing might suggest, "Is spousal abuse acceptable" which almost no one agrees with)

Third, discussion of this Connery interview has been ubiquitous online today (it has been mentioned in every article, Reddit thread, FB post, etc about Sean Connery I have seen today) and I suspect lot of people come to HN to get away with that.

Fourth, there is indeed a long, long tradition of people who dislike a celebrity using the occasion of their death to launch one last attack on them, and other people who liked the celebrity indignantly complaining that that's a bad thing to do.
That’s not how I read it.

My take of the GP was more that they believe the _strength_ of PHP is that businesses that don’t have an existing pool of SWE talent can start solving problems with more or less whoever they can get their hands on (I’m trying to be careful not to imply that the “whoever” here is a poor engineer - just that they might not necessarily need to be experts).

Then when those projects get traction and start to grow and an engineering org starts to grow and mature around it (with plenty of “good” engineers, whatever that means), the _weaknesses_ of PHP may come to the forefront, making maintaining & expanding the PHP project difficult.
Here's the thing. Apple, Google, etc are trying to lock developers into specific platforms.

This is why Apple has been so hostile towards PWAs.

It's totally possible to build a PWA that behaves like a native app but Apple actively tries to destroy them.

There will never be a viable hybrid app platform.

If the US weren't spending on its military, Germany and Japan would likely need to spend much more. Japan especially.

The US protects G7 interests from Russia, China, and the oil cartel.

Russia takes what it can with impunity, but they're constrained to their immediate neighbors out of fear of the US and NATO. China is beginning to behave the same way. In the coming decades, they'll likely begin to act more aggressively.

I predict military spending will need to increase and that there is a coming arms race.

Once China's military surpasses the US, we'll have nuclear subs off every coast ready at a moment's notice. Shipping and energy interests will be fiercely defended.

We're going to enter Cold War II, and it's not going to be fun. Let's hope it stays cold.
is there any cli for scaffolding a site that includes auth, caching, sessions, queues, teams, profile, 2-factor, rbac (via policies), migrations, asset management via webpack with low-to-no config... (sure this is just for laravel, but that's a huge subset of users, just as django/rails are for python/ruby)

Even rails doesn't have auth baked in. For launching something fast, nothing beats prototyping in laravel. For more heavy work-loads you can offload services to go or rust for data intensive things, and still keep the majority of the code/api.

For new devs especially, community matters more than just about anything. While, wordpress is a clusterfuck of security issues, vulnerabilities, and bad practices the laravel community and (symfony which is more for enterprise apps) are generally top notch.

Show me how you can bootstrap a full SaaS app w/ all the same features as:

I got tired of changing clocks and also having to change my perception of when day/night begin (changes to timekeeping seem to have persistently made night time start earlier) so I set my home clocks to the time that seemed right to me (consistent with what I grew up with) and then use relative time timers to schedule everything else on a phone that runs on local time. A little bit of effort to start with, but it made my personal relationship with time much more coherent. Now I'm free to concentrate till an alarm goes off, and then I switch what I'm doing and my time is better managed. And I can look at my home clocks and have a very good idea of where I am in the day/night cycle that feels most natural to me. Essentially I invented my own personal time that best suites my own requirements.

That’s a hack, not a solution. You still can’t import just class A out of A, B, and C that are all defined in the same file. And even if you require_once file x.php, you don’t have any guarantees that that file won’t require/include file y.php that you also intend to include. PHP files are treated as files, not modules and that’s fundamentally broken.

There's no such thing. That it can be used to pay debts doesn't mean there are debts underlying it, implicit or explicit. It means that if you incur a debt, and you have one, you can use it to resolve the debt.

In JavaScript you still have to deal with all the bad parts. That’s why we pretty much require monstrosities like babel, webpack and whatever other build tools you can imagine.

* Similarly, the CEO and chairman could decide to oust you if things start going well since they own half the company.

* Where’s the stock pool for potential future employees? Does the equity stake you/other founding members get have a vesting period so they have incentive to stick it out?

There’s more but you get the idea.

So, obviously, this looks hilariously dated in 2020. But even in 1990, when The Hunt for Red October was something of a phenomenon, if you were into computers this looked pretty dated.

I really start to wonder if, like Google with its servers back in the day, one couldn't build military systems that were capable and credible from off the shelf components, rather than paying billions to the military-industrial complex.
