Very interesting, I've been on the lookout for something like this for a long time and it still surprises me how few out-of-the-box, open source, E2E encryption solutions there are available (especially for us Europeans...).

One thing that's not clear to me from first glance at the docs: does this support offline-first apps? So what about sync with local storage, search, CRUD of collections/items offline, conflict resolution, ...? Am I missing something, or is this something that the developer has to implement themselves?
Yep, these days its basically a proxy for the kinds of smells you look out for when picking a library.
Apple’s U.S. Staff Return to China, Encouraged by Cash Bonuses
Google would appear to be killing unlimited storage across their product range. It's gone from GSuite/Workspaces. It's gone from Photos. And now it's gone from Music.

If there are any Google products left that allow unlimited data, then that feature is going to disappear.

Consumers gain nothing from "competition" if they are forced to use both providers due to exclusives. If Epic would actually compete on features then that would be a good thing, but right now they are just dumping money into developers to gain marketshare while not actually improving anything for end users.
Eh, wasn't one of the main reasons Clinton ran aground the belief that her nomination was due to a stitch-up inside the DNC (selection of Presidents ... nearly, at least)? Isn't it true that many US laws are created by regulatory agencies of various kinds, and then implemented/enforced by unelected judges?

The notion that most rules are invented and implemented by the unelected isn't extreme, is it, it's more like an observation of how the system really works, especially in the US where - unusually - regulatory agencies can create new laws without involving Congress.

Websockets are different again from both server push and h2 streams. Server push was a feature added in http2 for populating the browser’s cache. Websockets are an http/1.1 extension for tcp-like bidirectional messaging.

Server push, websockets, h2 steams and webtransport are all different things.

Thomas Sowell's "Conflict of Visions" theory might provide better explanations. In effect, people with more left/liberal views tend to emphasise the importance of speech, ideas, things that seem expert or scientific. People with more conservative views in contrast emphasise practical experience over ideas, common sense / simple explanations over complex / expert explanations, and tend to consider speech not particularly powerful at changing minds or spreading ideas.

The above explanation is not judgemental. There are times when complex, expert arguments are correct. There are also times when people obfuscate hidden agendas behind clever sounding language. How powerful speech is at spreading ideas is a purely intuitive judgement, it's not easy to measure.

If you believe that expressing your opinion isn't particularly impactful on the world, that people who use complicated statistical methods aren't automatically trustworthy and might be obfuscating things with maths, that academic/intellectual types who talk a lot aren't really valuable to society, then automatically you'd find participating in a poll unappealing.

In contrast, if you believe speech/expressing opinions is an extremely powerful way to change the world, that experts who use maths are inherently worth supporting, that academics/intellectuals are amongst the best of us, then talking to a pollster might seem like a pretty important and virtuous way to spend your time.

The above explanation is invariant to cancel culture, sneering attitudes towards conservatives etc.

Exactly, youtube-dl is a legal tool. You have to expect that everyone is trying to game the law and push the scales in their favour.

In that case, it is in RIAA's best interest that everything is locked down and they maintain exclusive control over as many things as possible. It is also in their favour to make the public view anything related to sharing of media files as suspect. That doesn't mean this position is reasonable and valid.

At least with the previous versions of macOS you didn't have to do anything special, the software renderer would just work if you don't have a supported GPU.
Dropbox could focus on selling privacy, forgetting about dedup and offer end to end encryption. This could be a killer feature.

Companies such as google, Microsoft and aws rely on user’s data. It’s difficult for them to offer privacy.

But with C. Rice on board, I have doubts about its direction.
Looks like that is the active chain.
I met my wife online, in 1993. On Usenet. I kid you not: it was in alt.psychology.personality. She was trying to figure out whether she was a Four or a Five on the Enneagram, so I emailed her "Well, do you have a worse problem with depression or paranoia?" Not your usual pick-up line :-)

It's a downgrade in GPU processing power for the user.
So you mean Apple has this huge advantage of 5nm compared to 7nm but failed to outperform AMD? What a failure.

(that was sarcasm. My take is this performance is impressive but you should not be surprised if it does not completely outperform CPUs that should be less efficient)

It will still be a problem. The difference in access time between RAM and SSDs is still order of magnitude faster for RAM (10s of micro-seconds vs 10s of nano-seconds). So even if they doubles speeds random access of small data chunks will still choke your performance.

I was under the impression that TLS everywhere breaks the web as it was designed, ergo though nothing in the spec has changed - the environment itself has changed.

You could probably do something with isomorphic encryption but nobody seems that bothered. It’s probably of limited value nowadays as we use the web more as an rpc layer.

> [...] opted for more ethics where their fork showed them the way [...]

Forking isn't necessarily a bad thing. From a free market perspective it incentives competition, and per my respect, the original company owes nothing to a forked business out of the original codebase. In this particular example both projects took different directions, why would the fork have to take a higher moral grounds in respect to the original?

> Hook it up to his stereo - him being in his 70's he might still have one - and he can use it as a jukebox, playing through the speakers without having to fiddle with Bluetooth.

Haha, I still have my stereo from 1980 or so, run it all day every day. Only these days, I drive it with a Grace Digital media player that sucks the files off of the desktop through the wired LAN.

I don't play directly from my desktop because I strongly dislike the bleeps and bloops from the computer, and those stupid autoplay websites. Easier to just disable the sound from the computer.

The computer stereo output also underlays an extremely annoying 60 cycle hum.

The sound quality from the computer DAC is horrible. Nice to use a real stereo (Carver amp and preamp for the win!).

Perhaps but women biologically have a very strong preference for height as it was during most of humanity's evolution a great analogue for ability to protect and provide.

We men of course have our own biological preferences perhaps equally irrelevant in the modern era, so this isn't a blame thing just an oft denied fact.

Oh and as to Tom Cruise - it is a hilarious kind of example I have heard so many times. The fact that people have to reference those who are monumentally successful in the top .000001% kind of proves the point.
An issue with this approach is that it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

It is a matter of magnitude though. How short are you? I am 2SD below the mean and trust me that rules you out very much IRL too.

But I agree that women are obviously filtering on that.

As an anecdote - one site I was on took a while to publish my height and I started having conversations with women. As soon as it showed one dropped contact and the other said she felt 'no chemistry' after we had basically said hello to each other :)

I said the baby requires attention for 30hrs a day. This does not mean it receives that much attention, rather that a prerequisite to it making it through the day is 30 [person-]hours a day, indeed split between a few people. One person entertains, the other washes bottles, etc.

Ask HN: Does anything beat the uptime of emails and Excel?
Once again, I have in the recent past found myself using emails + Excel to exchange sensitive, time-critical data. Yes, we have a "proper" platform and for some undefined security reason I've lost access - I believe I now exist on a separate astral plane to all other employees, which is reassuring but makes account recovery difficult. I might regain it this week, but we needed to process the data yesterday. I suppose you could argue it's good training for business continuity in a partial DoS.

On a related note, my partner has managed (as the customer) migrating an examination platform recently, to a "more secure" one with lots of yummy microservices. Or was - the contract has now been cancelled and she's looking for a new job, and possibly therapy, after a torrent of personal abuse caused by bugs she simply cannot fix.

What's sad is that I wish I could say this was unusual. But it's anywhere and everywhere I've worked.

Quite seriously, what are we doing? Why do other apps exist when I will, every single time, be justified in replicating the entire workflow in emails + Excel? I'm at least partially supposed to advise on security, and the only people who won't recite this very rant at me as a reason to ignore all security advice, are the people who can't be bothered to.

The one ray of light is that at least it's easy enough to attach links to access-controlled spreadsheets now, rather the spreadsheets themselves, possibly protected with a password (usually, in that same email).

I thank you for listening to this /rant.

To be honest, you'd expect widely traded good to trade at the same prices, regardless of local purchasing power.
I'd think mostly for the radio-like experience: new music coming into rotation, deep cuts from classic albums, possibly a DJ, etc.

I used Google Music for this, for a while at least, but gave up on it when it became clear that it was inevitably heading for the Google Graveyard. I'm not sure I want to bother with Spotify, and I transcoded my FLACs to Opus to put on my phone's SD card. Foobar2000 for Android takes care of music playing now.
Slightly off-topic, but is there a way to sort comments by date?

*The 5900 is a desktop chip that costs $500+ with a 100W TDP and we're comparing with the cpu in a $1000 laptop with no fan.
The code and compilation for me is the light part, and for the most part an hour's worth of essentially text editing for about a moment of compilation anyways.

My resource hogs are slack, mainly the browser, and Zoom calls are apparently the most computationally intensive thing in the world, especially if you screen share while you have an external plugged in.

Memory wise the reason I had to go from 8Gb to 16GB on my personal laptop was literally just for TravisCI.

Honestly, adding external monitors cripples MacBooks pretty quick, even unscaled 2 2k monitors will slow a 2015 15 down significantly (don't try and leave YouTube on either), and it gets worse from there once you start upgrading to 4k monitors. a 2017 15 is good for a 4k and a 2k, and gets a bit slow if you try and go dual 4k.

I planned on looking into eGPU solutions until IT offered me a new Macbook, and I convinced them I needed a 16" Pro.

tldr: External monitors or badly optimized applications (Zoom, YouTube, or browser based CI) will make most MacBooks feel sluggish pretty quick.

I used TS for several years and also don't like it.
Nothing wrong with the language itself but the transpilation step adds significant complexity and is very slow so it breaks my train of thought and slows down my development iteration speed significantly.
In addition to slow iteration speed, I got tired of encountering source mapping issues in some environments, version compatibility issues and TS config issues (especially when config property names change with the versions).

Also, static typing adds no value at all to programming if your project code is well structured. It's only useful for spaghetti code monoliths.
If you make your code modular with good tests, you won't need type safety because your modules will be simple enough that your tests will easily catch these errors.

My view is that TypeScript encourages developers to write overly complex spaghetti code because it encourages devs to pass around active object references instead of simple primitives like strings, numbers or other primitive data types.

Alan Kay, one of the founders of OOP himself said that the point of OOP is not objects, "The big idea is messaging". Passing around complex typed instances goes completely against that. An instance is not a message. Complex instances (which have their own state and methods) are not messages; they should generally not be used for messaging between different components (I.e. as arguments or return values).

> How can one have a few grams of deuterium in their body.

Just like any other element – it’s around, in parts-per-million, and it finds its way in to your cells as a result. It’s just a non-harmful form of hydrogen.

> from the time of Big Bang?

Because that’s where the majority of the deuterium in existence was made. Crazy, but true. Unlike most of the heavier elements, it isn’t a by-product of stellar evolution.

Extraordinary to think that the Universe is almost fourteen thousand million years old, and most of our deuterium was made in the first twenty seconds. After that, it cooled down and just wasn’t hot enough for fusion to do its work.
