Excellent, thanks for this!

Most recent post is "Attributed Strings with SwiftUI" which is something I was wondering about. There's plaintext TextEditor view, but for rich text editing the impression I've gotten is to either fall back to something in UIKit or do it in a WebView. Will check this post out tonight, it might not change anything but I'd at least like a better idea where things stand in SwiftUI.

Props to Apple on this one, TextEditor has a real docs page. But it's only for plain text, sadly: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/texteditor
Before very few. I absolutely would now.

I bet more than a few traders looking for an edge are trying to find someone who works at Kayak to tell them how many more clicks there are in “see full flight details” before purchasing a flight there are now.
If I saw 737MAX pulling at the terminal I would have cancelled the trip, but usually airline shows plane at itinerary and you can check flightradar what planes fly that route.
Yea we did move the details to the "Security" page now but we got feedback that even that was too much for a normal user. But I think having a link for "full details" might solve it.

That's definitely the pragmatic view and the obvious downsides are largely why this approach is so rare.

Much like TFA I think there are things to be learned from that level of transparency and hope the experiments continue.

> The Chinese government is putting ethnic minorities in camps.

No. They are putting separatists/terrorists funded by the west in "camps". They aren't putting minorities in camps.

> The American government did that too, in WWII...

No. Our government exterminated our minorities. It's how a nation of 13 states became 50. Of course we became a nation of 13 states by genocide as well.

The idea of benevolence is laughable. Not only did we nuke japan, burn german cities to the ground, use biological weapons in korea, etc ( and these are our vassal, or allies ). Look at how we benevolently nuked japan. As I said, for everything we've "benevolently" done in history, switch that to china.
Originally (we used Barmetrics in 2014-15), it was marketed as more of an analytics tool for Stripe. I think designing to mirror strip was intentional early on, and worked well enough to not change over the years.
Medieval knights were typically very trim and fit; we have existing texts extolling knights to not over eat and go outside and exercise with stones. While kings performing the role of general tended to be fat, the actual men at arms up front doing the dirty work were probably in fantastic shape. There are historical accounts of knights in armor being capable of climbing siege ladders like a pair of monkey bars while wearing their armor.

The important point here is that iO, once fully realized, can be used to derive other cryptographic primitives. Fully homomorphic encryption has been doing the rounds for a while now, but it's too slow for practical use - I wonder if this will change that.
Where do I find non-tracking ad brokers? I know readthedocs.io has its own ethicalads.io ad platform, but they only want developer-focused sites as publishers. What if I have a non-tech site and I want to host some non-tracking ads to offset the bills just a little bit?
We do squash-and-merge for PRs. Works great so far. A minimal unit of change is thus not a single commit in a PR, but the whole diff introduced with a PR.

Yup, the built-in graphics RAM was 1MHz as well; It couldn't redraw its entire screen inside a single refresh (although by remapping the 65816 stack to screen RAM, it got close enough to do most of it). The integrated disk controller (IWM) also ran at 1MHz.
That’s one local race with a tiny margin and reading the story shows no hint of malice and that the system worked:

“A Republican city clerk supervised a vote count that wrongly gave victory to a Democrat, after which a Democratic county clerk's staff caught the error and requested a correction from the Republican city clerk, handing the win to a Republican.”

This kind of thing happens every election and it’s rare that it has even this much impact at the local level. It’s never been anywhere near the level of impacting a lead like Biden has in multiple states.

Trump needs to invalidate a city’s worth of people in PA AND tens of thousands of AZ, GA, and NV votes to win. There’s not even the slightest evidence of fraud on that scale and the stuff they’re doing trying to invalidate military ballots might get them into triple digits but they need 5-6 digit changes.

Edit: here’s a great example - they’re litigating in Maricopa county over at most a couple hundred votes, and there’s no expectation that all of them will go their way. Trump is behind by 14k votes in Arizona so even if they got a total win they’d need to do this many dozens of times.

I wouldn't assume that any given service is secure just because it hasn't been outed yet. Your guess is as good as mine with regard to which service is more secure or less secure.

What is immensely important is to raise the cost of lying to where it becomes something investors care about. The only real thing a company and its investors are afraid of is losing its customers.

If we teach companies it is okay to lie by staying with them, they will lie more.

Based on the Android source code I've seen while working on Android projects, I think a good portion of the Android docs are generated by the inline documentation from the Android open-source project.

But on top of that, Google also produces high-quality long-form guides. Those are first-party guides, found at https://developer.android.com/. (Google maintains the Android developer site.)
Beyond marketing, I've never understood SMS as the default 2FA over just using a second email as the 2nd factor.

Everyone has a 2nd email, personal + work or school.

You could argue that both emails are probably accessible from an email app on the phone, but if the phone is stolen, then that's no worse than SMS or ToTP apps also on the phone.

You could argue password reuse, but if the address used for 2FA is never exposed to the end user after being set+verified, then the attacker would have no way of knowing the victim's 2nd email address.

Unless the attack is targeted... But if the attack is targeted, then we're back to SMS being vulnerable.

So, what it comes down to is 2nd email as 2FA is more secure and more efficient than SMS out of the gate... (and much cheaper)...

And, if I use a very obscure and otherwise not used email (with its own security + strong password), even a targeted attack has no better chance than a ToTP app on an offline device, like an iPod touch.

So:

- 1st.) ToTP on offline device (most secure, most expensive, most difficult to learn, hard to use),

- 2nd.) 2nd email (can be most secure, cheapest, easiest to learn, easiest to use), and

- 3rd.) SMS (least secure, mid-expensive, mid-learnability, mid-usability).

Why didn't we all default to 2nd email then, instead of SMS as a paradigm? Actually, was used, and still used by Gmail from the beginning (even in conjunction with ToTP now)...

Are there data scientists on HN looking into the 2020 presidential election?
I have not seen anything on HN so far. Did I miss it?
Thanks, but I don't think that is quite what I want. What I mean by "cactus" history is that the feature branches have a linear history that starts at the tip of the master branch but when we merge them back into master we still use a merge commit. Looks like this:

o-o-o o-o-o o-o
/ \ / \ / \
o-------o-------o-----o

We like doing that because, as the grandparent poster said, it clearly delineates the point where each PR was merged. AFAIK, the Gihub option to require a linear history assumes that you would want to flatten all the commits without any merge commits at all:

o-o-o--o-o-o--o-o
>Hi oefra! Thanks for the feedback. We wanted to provide the same security pattern that iPhone's provide - 4 digit, 6 digit and alphanumeric.

iPhone 4/6 digit passwords are secure because they require physical access to device, and they have anti-bruteforce mechanisms enforced by the security chip (eg. exponentially increasing timeouts after successive incorrect entries, "wipe device after 10 failed attempts"). Your SaaS solution provides none of that.

Apple seems like they are willing to double down on SwiftUI/UiKit with Catalyst.

It's getting less simple for new APIs/features but at least Apple's docs have straightforward hierarchy, even with two separate languages. Duplicate APIs usually get deprecated, like the old ALAssets photo library API.

Try building an app in .NET. There are dozens of different breadcrumbs you can follow on the MS docs for varying versions of .NET, Windows, and frameworks with radically different feature parity and UI systems. Virtually everything you google when building a .NET app has to suffixed with a bunch of identifying information for which libraries and versions you are targeting.

Open source has a serious advantage in this regard because communities tend to congregate around project and documentation styles that are consistent with similar projects, so you already have an intuition for how to navigate a new repo. I find React Native documentation especially easy to parse, although sometimes missing features or examples.

OSs have it tough because their docs aren't tailored specifically to each framework and domain space. But maybe they should be. I think if engineers felt more like they owned their product's documentation, layout, and structure like at smaller companies, they'd be more inclined to make it just right. The SwiftUI specific tutorials are great.

I know someone who's had to go into quarantine 3 times already because their coworkers have tested positive, luckily they themselves didn't contract it any of those times, but just the stress now of having been in quarantine for over a month during this, having to take time off work, worrying about whether they brought it home to their family hasn't been good on their mental state. This person's been real down for months.
I agree. SMS is an attack vector, not an authentication.
Yes, same. Too bad we cannot control which airplane we fly on; it's totally up to the airline and they can switch it at any time.

The thing with chronic pain is that it's very difficult to quantify.

I have small fibre neuropathy (nerve damage) in my arms and legs, and when it first started I thought I was going to go crazy - I just couldn't stand that amount of pain, constantly. I cried a lot, I begged doctors to make it go away, I went to the ER.

The fact is you can't stay like that forever - you either kill yourself, or you somehow learn to live with it.

You don't get used to chronic pain, but you adjust to a new "normal" level of pain. You develop coping mechanisms and learn to "bury it", get on with it as best you can. If you're lucky, you find some medication that actually helps somewhat. You research your condition and possible remedies, a lot. All of this isn't to say it gets easy, believe me it fecking well does not.

A lot of people (doctors included) don't seem to believe that you can be in severe pain, while sitting and conversing with them - "he seems fine to me!".

I'll add as well that I'm one of the "lucky" ones for whom a diagnostic test (skin biopsy) has shown concrete evidence that doctors believe in - without that, you'll get nothing but platitudes and shown the door. You'll probably also get told you have fibromyalgia, even if you don't remotely fit the criteria. I know this firsthand, because I have had to research and guide clueless doctors and insist on tests, and insist on re-tests when they've messed up.
Oh god. I have pretty good specs and decided to try to switch my PC over to Linux. At the time all I really wanted to play game-wise was Civ 6. It had a linux port so I'd imagine it would be fine. Dear God was I wrong. I tries it on Ubuntu and it was the only "officially supported" distro. The game was flat out unplayable, FPS drops to the point where I was watching a slide show, UI animations lagged, and attempting to start a multiplayer lobby froze the game at a blank screen, my graphics card showed up as "Unknown Device" despite being dected fine by the Nvidia drivers. I tried for months to figure out was going on. I made sure my graphics drivers were straight, updated firmware, even upgraded to a much more recent kernel and tried different Ubuntu versions. Nothing would work and no one was able to help me out at all. The best lead I found was some very old comments about how the Linux port had atrocious CPU optimization and had basically no multicore support.

Anyway maybe close to a year later, I tried again with Fedora, it ran a bit better, which I imagine to be the work of better updated kernel + system packages, but I had to keep it on the lowest graphics settings to make it barely playable. And this was on a system with a decent mid teir graphics card at the time, more memory than I've ever needed and a Ryzen 9. On top of that there were quite a few updates that completely broke cross platform play and apparently modifying version string resources could hack around that at the risk of desyncs.

To this day most people ive met that play Civ 6 on Linux swear to me that it runs perfect, so I have no idea what was going on. I've also been told running it via Proton might actually run better but I haven't tried.
My therapist uses Zoom for her clients, as she was assured that the E2E would help her meet HIPAA requirements and protect her patients.

If someone can get a transcript of what was said, let alone record, in these therapy sessions, they'd have a goldmine to blackmail from.

Please note, this has legal significance for her and other doctors, who'd started seeing patients over Zoom. So it's not just an abstract, "lulz security"

There are people out there with different threat models from you. Please refrain from talking about use cases you may not understand.
Crossbows do not fare as effectively against plate armor as video games make you believe. They fire slowly (2rpm) and only work up close; they're only going to be effective in a mass group of crossbowmen standing in a prepared defensive position, otherwise it will be a very short and one sided battle.
Have also encountered founders that know the difference, but lie about things by using 'weasel words' that are chosen to suit their audience, who may not be so knowledgeable :(
I still don't think I'd trust it.

While it's probably true that they fixed the software to never again produce this kind of error, I don't like the idea of software being used to correct the fundamental physics that the airframe is dynamically unstable. While the software probably does a good job of correcting it under a wide range of normal operating conditions, can it deal with evolving or abnormal operating conditions? Will the software still be able to compensate if the pitch-up moment is artificially increased by, e.g. the roof turning into a scoop, or flaps jamming, or a small piece of wing trim breaking? Would Aloha Airlines Flight 243 still have landed safely after the roof came off, becoming a scoop, if it were instead a 737Max?
While I agree that different langauges promote different solutions (otherwise we wouldn't bother making new programming languages!), I'm sorry but it's just false that a statically language without generics can be sufficiently expressive.

Generics are necessary to move information of different shapes through a function without loss of fidelity. Without generics, there is an artificial trade off between the variety of the inputs that can be consumed, and the richness of the output that is produced.
It's one word. For some reason social media posters don't tend to know that, I've noticed.
Frankly as an outside observer (Canada), the "right to arms" in the context of the United States seems fairly clearly to be tied to the history of slave ownership, not the revolutionary war. Raising a militia for defense in the context of the US south has pretty clear implications.

Just because there's a right to bear arms in the US doesn't mean the public there has any effective resistance against state coercion or violence. History doesn't bear that out at all. Likewise over history in countries that have no right to bear arms there have been many instances of the population resisting state coercion.

Guns are fairly easily obtained in a licensed and registered manner here in Canada and in many other countries that have large rural areas, etc. for the purpose of hunting and sport. Sure, hand guns or assault weapons, no. And yes, there are no constitutional guarantees of this. But it's mostly irrelevant because the public is on the whole supportive of the notion that guns like cars and pesticides and other things are a fairly dangerous tool where the public as a whole gains from carefully watching them.
If it turns out left handed people are significantly overrepresented in crime statistics, then yes, that would be interesting to know. Either something is wrong with the system or with left handed people. This notion of withholding information from voting adults just because it doesn't further a particular social engineering agenda is repulsive to be honest.
I find this business decision fascinating because a good portion of their App Store revenue comes from developers. One would THINK developer relations would be a priority at Apple, but it's pretty clear that's not the case.

It was one of things that I found unbelievable when switching from Android to iOS development. The developer experience is just so much WORSE on iOS. Sometimes, it's as if Apple is actively trying to annoy developers.
I agree, I'd like to see more posts like these. While I'm impressed by the unicorn startup stories, I want to also hear from those that did/could not take that path, which is a majority of the startups. One of the most impressive things is that Josh did all of this with a level of transparency few founders would be willing to.

Of course, some posters here are talking about employees getting a raw deal, but it was there for all to see that the company had decided long back to prioritize profit more than growth. Any employee that would have expected a unicorn like exit would have known it wouldn't be the case and would have left long ago. Blaming Josh for that doesn't feel right to me.

Maybe it's profitable already? 0.8-1% of Steam's userbase is not a small number.
I'm not sure what the issue is tbh. The games launch, but in my testing, have all kinds of glitches or issues that go away when running on X11. For example, one game doesn't receive any input, another one has graphical artifacts but otherwise runs fine, another runs at a suuper low frame rate. All of these issues go away when running on X. For all I know its a driver issue or something else in my setup.

But things are improving, so maybe in a few months (by the time I get a desktop with some luck) it will all be resolved. I may give wine-wayland a try too if it's not. Or its my setup and it may just work on new hardware.

Either way, I'm quite impressed by Proton, but haven't been able to run it on Wayland properly yet.
No not really. I am burned by experience on both items.
In this case, charity would distort incentives by softening the outcome of bad decision-making.

Each of those employees signed up for a salary and equity.

That equity turned out to be of very little value to them in the end, probably less than they were hoping for.

If they all got paid out anyway, they would not have learned that small equity stakes can turn out meaningless, and that exits are way less profitable for employees then founders.

Some of these employees might now go on to be founders because they learned the dangers of working hard on something in which there is no equity. In the end they might create something of massive value, which the world never would have had if they simply benefited from charity.

I think the lesson of this exit is also more valuable for all HN readers than it would've been if he had just paid out the employees, for the same reasons.
Yeah, I'm not sure it should work like that anymore. Trump lied in almost every publicly uttered sentence. Why is the onus still on the media to disprove him? At some point you should not automatically trust an institution like the presidency anymore.

Back to the original question. NGO's repeatedly say a single kg of meat costs 50.000 liters of water. That number in itself is not undisputed. If they don't specify which meat and which country they're referring to, they're lying. Or misrepresenting facts at the least. If they use this argument in a region that has no shortage water, they're abusing this fact to support a narrative. Etcetera.
I'm not claiming anyone's lying. Just that they probably are.

If I showed you a study on the supposedly benign health effects of tobacco, except that study was funded by Philip Morris, would you trust it until proven wrong? Would you argue "how is their obvious agenda a bad thing?"
