The terminal is absolutely full of apps though. It's literally an environment designed around invoking other programs.

Pipelines are indeed very powerful, but mostly for a specific class of tasks. As soon as you need interactivity, the pipeline model losess a lot of benefits. None of the popular databases, web servers, games or office suites are implemented as terminal pipelines. The other problem with pipelines is that while they scale reasonably well with data size, they don't scale quite as nicely with task complexity. A five-program pipeline with complex command line arguments can already be complex to understand. A 500-program pipeline would be a total nightmare, especially when it starts including components for error reporting and retry behavior.

I think that we actually do already have a lot of the relevant primitives in one place: accessibility APIs. It would be interesting to see experimentation in using this data for more than just screen readers and the likes, so that you could do things like slurp a table of numbers and add them up regardless of which program it came from (—though PDFs are unlikely to pan out, because the tabular structure is typically just not encoded in the file).

On macOS, there’s AppleScript which can, I believe, achieve some of these sorts of things using accessibility APIs and similar. I’m not familiar with the extent of its capabilities as I don’t use a Mac.
I am from the UK yes. We have a capable arms industry yet buy Trident, Apache, F35 etc from the US for no reason other than paying tribute.

According to Politifact, 72% of Trump's statements they fact checked were at least mostly false. Thats a hell of a lot worse than your average politician.
> He's been pretty clear about wanting to address systemic racism

In case folks haven’t clued in yet, using this phrase is probably the single most important contributor to why the democrats almost lost the election and lost so many seats. The house is absolutely going red in 2022 if they don’t clue in and drop the identity politics nonsense. There is no “systemic” racism, and this is an unnecessarily divisive narrative.
Low-tech but but requires some high-end ears
They had plenty of ex PARC developers in their team and even a ST80 license, so they could have done so no doubt. Obviously they considered ST80 not mature or efficient enough for their projects and invented Object Pascal instead. This is actually not that surprising considering that neither Xerox used ST80 in their products. Even the first WYSIWYG and DTP programs in existence were written in BCPL (precursor of C) on the Alto, not in ST (see http://xeroxalto.computerhistory.org/xerox_alto_file_system_...). There is an article by Tesler where he describes how they had to increase the frame rate of a demonstration video ten times because the application written in ST76 was so slow (see https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/2212877.2212896).

You make that sound as if spotify is the problem.

But that doesn't mean that the Democratic party message comes from the far left.

Biden can't pronounce the word "free healthcare" for fear of losing votes.

That's what I was contesting: far right is right at the centre of the political scene side by side with Trump, far left is not because it has no direct representation in the political system.

Unless you consider someone like Sanders a far left extremists, which is not.

Far left movements are mostly extra-parliamentary
The point is that the alternatives aren't "green" and their implementations are mature, arguably even better understood than RSA and its implementations.
But but isn't GraphQL the swiss army knife where you don't have to write queries anymore as some posters suggest?

My point remains, why write queries when you can query endpoints and write filters easily without having to learn a new query language?
The above isn't correct.

Subsea cable system costs are about 30k$ to 50k$ per kilometer. This is about the same cost as aerial construction, excluding the poles. You pay for the poles separately with yearly fees.

You also don't need roads to put up and service utility poles. It's just more convenient to put them by roads.

As an aside, you can and do have subsea cables with 216 or other high count strand numbers. The reason you use 12 strands or less in long haul systems is that it is cheaper to use fewer strands and higher bandwidth rates per strand than to build high count subsea cable systems.

You could build any terrestrial fiber system with just one strand, but it's cheaper and more convenient to use more strands since you are constantly bifurcating the network.

Source: I have built both subsea cables and terrestrial fiber networks.

Computing "prisons", or better call them boundaries, are result of evolution, limited trust and need of control. Agreed, computing systems simulate human social structures.

This has resonated with me as I've recently been thinking about service interopt. There is a strong push in my org to go full rpc, which will probably win out for not bad reasons, but I sort of wish we had but in the necessary up front investment to model it restfully.
TCP assumes that error correction of the physical channel is handled elsewhere, right? I guess that's just stating your point a different way. TCP doesn't know whether it goes over a wire or a radio link, it doesn't care. But that doesn't mean that no error correcting is happening, just that the error correction is handled outside of TCP.

> A basic assumption of TCP is that retransmission only happens due to congestion.

From the perspective of a single computer, what's the difference between an error caused by congestion and an error caused by a noisy channel? Can you tell the difference? Isn't a transmission error just a transmission error?
Because apple stopped their app so they can promote their own service instead and now we are seeing a lawsuit?
> From a technical PoV I don't see what Arch does different

I can't speak for everyone, but here are some things I see:

- Arch minimizes modification of code in packages, which is nice in reducing bugs or idiosyncrasies introduced via distros.

- Pacman (and its surroundings) is far more convenient, far more robust, and generally far less of a headache to deal with than apt. Hell, even figuring out what flags apt-get install accepts is an ordeal (--help? you must be joking?), let alone the nightmare it is every time you need it to do a serious job.

Not sure if these qualify as "technical" to you, but they're important. (Unless they don't and you consider anything nontechnical to be unimportant.)
If they are focused on you then they can probably do that although it may take considerable work, such as spidering an entire web site to correlate resources on the site against timing and size information.

Without encryption we know the NSA takes the approach of just bulk collecting everything they can to filter after the fact.

So rather than an assigned agent trying to discern what Public Enemy #1 Lammy is up to right now, and painstakingly concluding you have probably just read a Wikipedia article about Jaffa cakes, if you don't have encryption what happens is that the automation notes "Lammy looked at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaffa_Cakes" as you click and it goes into the vast heap of stuff snooped that second even though you aren't under any suspicion and it's probably irrelevant.

This bulk surveillance is an unjustified attack on everybody's privacy.
Nextcloud is exactly this.
This is kind of right, but...

Speaker distortion is in the 1% to 5% range.

If your amplifier's distortion is less than 0.1%, you probably won't hear it, whatever it is.

The main reason people like the sound of tube amps (the "warmth") is due to the fact that most of them can't amplify high audio frequencies very well.

For reference, the frequency range of human hearing is taken to be 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Hearing is logarithmic in frequency, i.e. the perceived difference in pitch between 100 Hz and 200 Hz is the same as between 10,000 Hz and 20,000 Hz - an octave.

Tube amps have output transformers. It's difficult to design wideband power transformers (heck, designing any transformer is difficult), so most of them have reduced output in the top octave. (AKA "high frequency rolloff".)

One reason for the bad reputation of transistor amps is this: -

Many early transistor amps (and some still today) were prone to oscillation at MHz frequencies under some circumstances. The oscillation itself is inaudible but it affects the linearity control of the amplifier (negative feedback). Amplifiers were oscillating at MHz frequencies for a millisecond or two and losing control, which had a noticeable effect on the sound.

The oscillation wasn't picked up by the designers (of the early transistor amplifiers), because who needs a 100MHz oscilloscope for designing audio circuits that only go up to 20kHz? That's just silly. (Until, of course, it isn't.) And in those days, 100MHz scopes were expensive.

There are other reasons. For example, tube amps withstand some overload; transistor ones don't. Exceed the output transistors' second breakdown rating for a tenth of a second, and suddenly you have no sound. Your new speakers you just brought home from the store killed your amp. "But they're 8 ohms, same as the old ones!" (Another long story there.)

It took a while to figure out all this stuff and how to protect against it, and in the meantime, reputations were made and lost. Tube good, transistor bad.

It seems like nobody else mentioned this, so for completeness: the algorithm is called reservoir sampling.

It allows you to sample n elements from a potentially very big stream with exactly n elements of storage. Incredibly neat technique.

Lots written about it a web search away once you know its name!

(If the sequence is in primary memory with fast random access, it's more efficient to run n iterations of a Fisher-Yates shuffle and pick the first n elements.)

Edit: I forgot to refresh the comments page. Someone had mentioned it now. Good!
PPACA came straight out of Heritage Foundation. It had substantial bipartisan support in committee, markup, and amendments. Republicans voted against it to use as a political fundraising foil, which they did extremely effectively for a decade.

Is quite cynical.

As for the five year racist lie of birtherism told by Trump. 51% of Republicans believed it in 2017. There are more QAnon believers in the upcoming Republican caucus than Black members.

Not all completely racist. But pretty racist.

I had one of these and I cannot caution you against it strongly enough if you’re a programmer. Your right pinkie has so much to do, and the central enter and backspace mean you’re constant

ly going to be making errors like this. If you can get your hands on one to evaluate first I’d recommend that. For normal text typing though it’s probably fine.
Right, using f-droid and installing open source apps where the only incentive is the user's benefits.. that's a breeze of fresh air. Of course it can never give you access to instragram or any particular commercial platform like that, but you can handle your own data with dignity.
It is both incredibly simple and readily apparent. What is interesting/amusing is how the further up the right-wing food chain you climb the closer you get to people who you _know_ understand the difference and can see what is happening and what is being said, but who will deny and justify for the sake of eliminating the cognitive dissonance between their own reasoning and what the leader of their tribe is saying.

Here on HN if is almost funny to watch the different flavours of Trumpkin try to explain and justify themselves. You have the hard-core believers who only barely manage to keep the racism and xenophobia in check but can still throw out a dog whistle all the way to the ones who probably once thought of themselves as principled conservatives but who are reduced to simple projection when presented with facts ('no, we are not the ones driven by fear and anger, it is the left...') As unpleasant as the Trump experience has been, one of its few benefits has been to let the truly cretinous among us feel like they have permission to drop the mask and show us who they really are.

OT: On a monthly basis I seem to have problems with the Spotify Web Player (slow loading times, max cpu utilization for a few minutes before I can use the player, a not loading page on the first try, etc.).

A few days ago, I could not access the player and desperately wanted to listen to music, so I looked around in the Firefox dev-tools and unregistered the ServiceWorker. After that, everything worked just fine and I decided to deactivate ServiceWorkers for the Profile which I use for Spotify via about:config.

Every since, I had no trouble anymore. I know writing ServiceWorkers isn't easy, but that is not my point. My point is, that I pay Spotify to deliver music to me in the DRM protected way the music industry demands for (not the consumer). So fixing things gets harder for me with DRM in place.

@Spotify: Please fix your broken software development process and deliver on your promises.
Thank you for sharing your interest for the projet: it's encouraging to hear, really. You know, just knowing that my project does not appear non-sensical.

As indicated, the collaborative website will be in French. But if it reaches a real milestone such as land acquired and first installation, I plan to release a newsletter in English, let's say every 4 months or so.

If you stumble onto projects that share aspects with mine, it'd be super helpful to send me a link. I'll add it as a ressource in the public collaborative website and learn as much as possible from it.

Thank you again for your interest! :-)
In mac os, for example, there was the services menu. Is it still alive? I haven't been on mac os much since 10.5.
> If you just need to get one user object, it's not different from rest.

So then in this specific example, you agree that definitely it is not different than rest, and we cannot solve these problems "with 0 lines written by backend developer." then? Cool. Awesome. You agree with the person you responded to on that specific issue.

To be even more specific, it seems like you agree that it would not require "0 lines written by a backend developer" in order to do something like "taps into data that' only available from an external service etc.".

> you need the data, you have to get the data

Thats great that you agree with the other person that it does not require "0 lines" in order to do something like "taps into data that' only available from an external service etc.".

> But that doesn't change the fact that client needs data

Awesome. So then you agree with the person you are responding to, that you cannot, with "0 lines written by a backend developer" do something like "taps into data that' only available from an external service etc.".

Great. You are in agreement with him on that specific point.
I think its the opposite. The reason whatsapp was not getting approval was for the fear of monopoly. They brought this rule just before allowing WhatsApp. Also note that existing players still have time to comply but WhatsApp has to comply with this since day 1

It feels that there are the following type of people zealously hating gql:
1. Those who for some reason don’t understand it. That’s obvious from the scope of problems they highlight. The problem of resolving the data is not really that hard. If someone’s complaining only about it, it can only mean that got stuck at the fist step: making it work. Those who got it work, talk about other problems, that are real: caching, for example. Or lack of URI and troubles with supporting linked data, structuring mutations, etc, etc.. Here, in other threads some people are saying it’s a FAANG only thing and big problems. Others say it’s a small-project scale and solution only to you problems. Make up your mind.
2. Those who would feel comfortable with backend if thinga stayed at cgi/Perl level. I actually have nothing against it.
> Or is it cheaper to make your sea cable 5% longer instead of licensing land-RightOfWays install/access?

Yes.

Subsea cable is often cheaper and easier to install than an overland route. Octoberfranklin is just wrong on the economics.
Sure, that makes sense! Having a fast and slow cycle isn't a bad idea. The problem is rather that the slow cycle has too much power, and additionally uses a different electoral system from the fast cycle, so it's not just an extra brake on overly-radical mistakes, it's a potentially long-term gridlock.

If at least senate "districts" were equivalent to house "districts" (i.e. all state-based or all more regional, and both equivalently proportional), then it would be very unlikely to have long-term gridlock; instead a senate would simply serve as braking mechanism during electoral upheaval, and that's perhaps a valuable feature.
No pun intended but the solution there is to buy an alternative tablet or device.
It doesn't matter.

The fact that Biden has been widely accepted as the next president is extremely important. That means nobody in the world views these claims of election fraud etc as legitimate.

Meanwhile you have trump crying out on Twitter "I WON THIS ELECTION BY A LOT" and nobody believes him.

Your recounts and certifications will find Biden has won. Given the current numbers, that is pretty definitive; a recount may slightly change them but that doesn't matter much.

That is why it's pretty safe to say, Biden is the next president, period. Kind of like it's safe to say the sun will set today and rise tomorrow. Sure, it might not, but at this point if it doesn't, we have bigger fish to fry than "the media was wrong".
The rule being referred to, I believe, is that RBI doesn’t want any single payment app to have more than 30% market share. I believe, that’s a good thing and good to see it being thought out much earlier in the lifecycle of UPI. When it comes to people’s money, it’s in the interest of the country not to have monopolies.
That's really strange because I agree with exactly everything that you said except swap Democrat for Republican I was a Democrat when I was young didn't care about anybody else now I'm a Republican and I have morals
Omg, that’s clearly a trolling :)
Or you’re really just talking to yourself.
> As for “natural sleep cycle” and “improved quality” I can tell you that this is self-made (or rather parent-made) problem in this case. If I take my children’s devices away at 8pm, then they go to bed by themselves after 9, have a good sleep and ready for school.

When talking about adolescents, which this study does, this is false since in adolescents the sleep phase is biologically delayed.

1901 telegraph submarine cables [1] were more straight for a similar route. Likely because it was essential to make them as short as possible going underwater, so most of them were going from Ireland to Newfoundland.

Not really. The US has turned "centrism" into a swear word. But that's kind of the point and why calling Biden centre-right is, eh. He's a Democrat; most Democrats are centre-right and most progressives are centre-left. Such is the left wing of the USA.
> That is the reputation.

No, it's actually not. Is this some kind of lefty marxist re-narrative of America?

I've been reading financial newspapers for decades, and have no idea what you're talking about in the B2B world.

In the B2C world, the only recent change is binding arbitration. But consumers have lemon laws, etc.
> It is not unbounded, unless you let it.

It is unbounded by default. And the tool you're so enamoured with, postgraphie, even has a dedicated section on this: https://www.graphile.org/postgraphile/production/

Let me quote: "Due to the nature of GraphQL it's easy to construct a small query that could be very expensive for the server to run".

And lo, and behold, it doesn't really have a solution against it.

So you have to either revert to basically REST with a predefined number of whitelisted queries, or pay for an experimental extension that attempts to calculate the cost of query.

> And if you split fetching the data by multiple endpoints and pretend your job is done, basically delegating the problem to your clients, what else can I say?

You can say something that actually shows that you know what you're talking about. Because you clearly have very little knowledge about REST and very sparse knowledge about GraphQL. You don't even know that unbounded complexity and infinite recursion are inherent in GraphQL.

It takes a certain level of complete ignorance to not know that for the past 30+ years the economy and stock market has grown more under Democratic presidents than Republican ones.
David Allen, the inventor of the popular Getting Things Done (GTD) task/time management system, stressed the importance of a "trusted system" in keeping one able to relax and focus on one thing at a time, even as a grown-up with lots of responsibilities.

If you keep your task management system absolutely up to date, i.e., it stores everything you plan to do eventually, then you really can trust it and relax in the knowledge that you don't need to track TODOs in your head. It becomes an extension of your brain, leaving your primary brain free to relax and focus on whatever you're currently doing, even if -- especially if -- you're not doing anything in the present moment. But this doesn't happen if the system is leaky, i.e. you slip up and start tracking some TODOs in your head.
No it is not.

It sounds like you agree with the original person, on the specific point that it definitely requires more than "0 lines written by a backend developer" to do something like "taps into data that' only available from an external service etc.".

Great. You are in agreement with him on that specific point.
I think Trump has many character flaws (and that's putting it lightly), did many not-so-good things, etc. It is fine that this is highlighted by the mainstream media.

My main problem is that the same treatment is not applied to the democrats. This means that in order to find similar stories from the other side, one needs to start (1) reading extremist-leaning news. These also contain many half-truths and outright lies, so on top of that one has to (2) try to verify themselves the veracity of those claims. Most people don't have the time to do that (obviously), so they stop at the first step.
