@djxfade: I might know some people on the team who’d be very interested to hear about it. what’s the best way to get in touch?
I live in Amsterdam where there’s a lot of AirBNB and I see and hear two big negative consequences: (1) rent and house prices have gone up because people can make more money with AirBNB than regular renters and houses being bought as investments. (2) I know some people in the center of Amsterdam that see (before the pandemic anyway) a lot of trash on the streets (discarded mattresses) from “homes” that are being AirBNB’ed. And lots of noise complaints as well.
The chance of replacing every banking system at once is not at all possible. Even just replacing CHESS all at once is pretty much impossible. Just how many years late is it and how many more until it's actually used by all participants?
I wonder how this compares to xhyve, which I use on Intel Mac. It's nice to see something like it for ARM.

It appears xhyve is built on Hypervisor.framework while vftool is built on Virtualization.framework. Is that the main difference? What does that mean?
This reminds me abouts Kubecon Europe 2020's survey which had questions like: "what's your race", and "what's your gender".

As a European, this was a huge WTF moment (my co-workers had the same moment). Why would you ask something like that ?
Nothing wrong with treating licenses as tangible digital objects: ie you get to sell YOUR license, but can’t reproduce it.

That’s how it works with physical media, and the postal system is a relatively cheap form of distribution (try mailing a 4K BluRay across the country: it might even be cheaper than bandwidth costs).
What about wages in Cambridge at the time?
I found their idea about defining commands very odd, but when we ignored these entirely and just went with the good old page pattern, the tests became very tame again. All the cypress-internals are done in small methods within page-objects, the tests contain only the abstract page-object-methods.

But yes, when we tried to run with the patterns they advertise, the tests became indeed hard to write and read; maybe we did it all wrong but it's at least consistent with the experience expressed by you and others in the thread here.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuttitut says about 550 mother tongue speakers of that dialect, while https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuktitut as a whole has between 35.000 and 40.000 mother tongue speakers (and there are programs regarding Inuktitut at least https://nunatsiaq.com/stories/article/65674a_new_way_to_spre... )
> That sounds like a self-fulfilling prophecy: If a lot of investors and angels want them succeed, they will succeed.

This is nonsense. VCs do not have that kind of power to will something into existence. They can pour money into it, but they can't make a company successful. And if they continually spend more than they make...they don't get to stay VCs for very long.
What’s happened here is you’ve seen an argument for ‘no budget currently available for’ which is just factual, and then you’ve assumed a lot more.

The bits you imagined out of nowhere is the opinion ‘and should not be increased’, and then you’ve even further imagined an argument for ‘cut’. I never argued those things. Go back and try to find where I argued for either of those.

Can you link to them?

I don’t think you’ll be able to. You’ll find you mentioned it first in both cases and even then I haven't given any opinion on them!

Why do you think everyone is flagging and downvoting you?
Maybe the QR code scanner and the NFC POS have been installed in a poor way that make the two options collide. Since QR code could be provided from general purpose apps (browser, photo gallery) there is no software solution to this.

No, use your brain. When the company I worked for closed up and laid everyone off (the day after Labor Day!) in 2019, I didn't know what to do. I knew I didn't want to work for another person's startup. I hated being ordered around, and I wanted the freedom to act on the ideas I have. I managed to save about $110k, and my goal was just a downpayment for a house. It took me years to do this. (I never bought a house - the real estate market kept shooting up, and I kept refusing to swing at it. I knew that property taxes and HOAs meant that I'd remain in chains forever, working for someone, had I bought in.)

So I spent a lot of time working on my own open-source software. I ended up building a layout system, prototyped in JavaScript, meant to replace HTML and CSS. It's kinda like SwiftUI and Flutter, but I never picked up any contributors, so I stopped working on it when the pandemic really started.

But that's not all I did. I also spent a lot of time reading about the financial markets, about investing, and I had always had an interest in how great companies are run. So I put my savings into $TSLA, $SQ, $ARKK, $ARKG and now I have $500k. (I had some money in "value investing" stocks early on, but sold out of those very quickly when I realized how poor the gains would be, pumped it all into in 10X innovation stocks.)

I live cheaply - I eat hamburger and hot dogs, and I live in a total dump of an apartment. Why? Because I know that I'll be a millionaire in a year.

What are the things making me rich? Excellent companies managed by the best allocators of capital out there. What are they doing to drive humanity forward? One is transitioning humanity to carbon-free energy, which is part of many changes required to help us avoid climate disaster. The other is using analytics to bring loans to people that banks refuse to serve and drastically undercutting payday lenders.

I wrote up some of my story in these posts way back in May:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22958528

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22964850

Seven years ago, I had just moved to California. I had no savings, and a job that only paid $35k/year.

Anyway, my point is that you don't have to be poor forever. It takes a great deal effort, planning and diligence, but you can rise up.
Hey, I may know some people who’d be very interested in these failure modes on the team. Which bus company? Any chance you know what terminal they use? Would you mind getting in touch off HN to discuss further?
No, I’m suggesting that a company may be pursued for an antitrust remedy even if they have been in continuous violation of it in the beginning.

The argument I would be making here is that Apple used illegally bundled its app distribution system with its hardware, and used anticompetitive actions to enforce it.
Some people advocate that it's for the safety of the users that Apple have created this walled garden.
One app store, one payment system, one browser means better security (in theory).
In reality users have no freedom and are at the total mercy of Apple's decisions.
Apple's one browser isn't working in terms of security as there's been an oversupply of Safari remote code execution, local privilege escalation and sandbox escapes.
So if Apple actually cared about users and the security of their devices instead of growing their monopoly shouldn't they instead be concentrating on fixing these vulnerabilities?

I think this entitlement controls only the ability if you are not running as root. That makes perfect sense, because you don't want random user processes to be able to sniff your network traffic...

While true, the closer Darwin is to Linux, it simultaneously eases implementation while disincentivizing doing it in the first place. Rarely you want to run a prebuilt standalone Linux binary on macOS; you just compile it to run on Darwin. In cases where you actually want Linux, you probably don't want even the slightest edge cases to be present.
Besides, VMs are quite fast if you have hardware support.
LOL.

The flaw in this reasoning, is in assuming that the rich have any morals to begin with.
No I’m in favour of competition, but competition between simple clean focused products, not the Homer cars other people seem to want.

If you want a different App Store then market a different phone don’t drag down the iPhone.
> Common sense does not mean uninformed. Informed does not mean correct. Correct doesn’t mean right. You’re view is very black/white.

Don't put strawman words into my mouth. You know I said "There's plenty of evidence that "common sense" is often wrong."

There is plenty of evidence that "common sense" is often wrong. You can pretty much say that the whole history of scientific advancements has been about challenging "common sense". I think you need to read a lot more about science and history.
This is a great distillation of the issues, getting to the second order effects. I hope @pg thinks about this.
>>Right now, there are relatively few people in the world who would be confronted with that dilemma -- precisely because iPhones don't make this easy. Do you agree? Or can you explain why you think it would make our society better to have more people face that?

Well, I think you grossly overestimate the impact iphones have on financial security of people world wide. iPhones are a minority of all phones, in some countries less than 1% of all, and yet people aren't losing their life savings left and right. Yes it happens, but it also happens to iphone users - they are just targetted in different ways. And I think you are, like many others in this thread, assuming that it's all or nothing - android has a reputation for dodgy security, but I really don't think it's deserved. No bank app will allow installation on android if you have root enabled. None of them allow screen capture or 3rd party text input while the app is running. And yet, you have the freedom - you can choose(important word here) what you want to do with the product that you own.

I just don't think this would be anywhere near as large problem as people think, and I would prefer the personal freedom gained by it. Again, on Android, you can flash custom firmware to your phone, yet how many people(outside of HN) ever do it? In cars, you can absolutely reflash the ECU and break every regulation under the sun, and yet how many people(outside of enthusiast/modding circles) do you know who do so? There is no regulation there, no big brother stopping you from doing that - and yet 99.9999% of people never do it. And yes, I come from a country that has annual inspections too - that has absolutely nothing to do with fitting your own parts to a car. Even if I don't buy the OEM brake pads for my mercedes, it will still pass the annual inspection with flying colours. The whole argument that car manufacturers make of "we seal our parts so we know they are good" has been an utter nonsense repeated for at least 70 years now - most parts are not manufactured by them and can be bought directly(like OEM brake pads for mine are actually made by Brembo, so I can either pay £150 to mercedes for a set, or buy them directly from brembo for £90....exact same product).
Imagine yourself at an airport and trying to order Uber, but be forced to download new 50 MB app. You would immediately try some other app like Bolt or Lyft.

I'm from EU country and it was so convenient to be able to use Uber in NYC the same way as I would in my home town.
It wasn't my intention to imply that we need preemptive government intervention.

Rather, I just want point out that, for smartphones, we are well into maturity stage of the industry life cycle, which means it is hard for new companies to enter the market, and where existing companies are focused on generating profit (meaning companies will no longer be playing nice).

It would naive to believe that companies would continue to play nice after they are done building their marketshare.
Only very few humans actually invent things. A few humans went to space, but it took a huge amount of people working together over a long time to make that possible.

We have language, as well as writing. And opposable thumbs.

Language allows us to teach each other things, writing multiplies that immensely and keeps knowledge over time. (And now audio, video recordings... But that's extremely recent)

And we have hands that are very useful for using tools.

I don't think we're necessarily that much more intelligent than other animals.
Software industry in general can be exploitative but the corporation itself is not. On the contrary, their commitment to DRM free software says the opposite.

Of course it would all be nicer without crunch in software, but I think many know how realistic that is with such a project. I hope employees get their deserved free time and compensation and I believe they will, even if there is still work to do.

So while CDPR might not be perfect, it behaves better than its competitors on user rights, which affects employees too. And this is not insignificantly better conduct.

That is an argument for enforcing safe outdoor dining rather than banning it altogether. There is a distinction.
In certain contexts (like blog articles that aren't dealing with implementation specifics) I use "RSS" to mean "Atom/RSS", same as how "classical music" in many contexts also includes music from the baroque and romantic periods. I used "Atom/RSS" for a while, but recently my feeling is "eh".
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization?lan...

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/hypervisor?languag...

Looks like Virtualization.framework is newer (Big Sur only) and uses Objective C classes rather than C functions.

I know from the xhyve README that it contains code responsible for booting a Linux kernel, which suggests Hypervisor.framework does not take care of that for you. The Virtualization.framework API on the other hand takes a linux kernel + ramdisk as its inputs.

So it sounds like the framework vftool is built on is more high-level than that of xhyve, and like vftool is Linux-only.
For sure, many or most entertainment people work hard, but I just preempted retorts pointing out youtube millionaires or influencers.
In theory, one could build Darwin-based OCI images: the nix package manager does, in fact, build such images on macOS but there’s no platform to actually run them on. However, I’d really like this ability: the whole Linux VM overhead on macOS is annoying for development environments.
Heh, that sounds like how I manage to hold down a job with ADHD, except my "up days" are because I took stimulants.

If I knew in college what I know now, I would have 100% had all the paperwork to be considered "disabled" by the government. I tried to do the right thing and emulate a successful adult life, but it's been a pretty miserable experience so far.

At this point, after so many years in tech, there's no way I could convince the government that they should cover my health care and pay me a stipend because I'm so disabled that I can't work.

There's not much else to do at this point besides push through to retirement, one day at a time.
Yes I really like it as well. The only thing is their image search which doesn't really give me anything useful, so I still resort to google for that.
Unlikely. Some of this is very useful functionality being dumbed down, without real workarounds short of scrapping website functionality.
You're again misrepresenting their statements. They aren't saying that only Trump fans get covid, but that an oversized portion of Trump fans get covid due to fictional ideas about the virus.
Jamstack on .NET: From zero to hero with Statiq and Kontent
There is such a bias towards regularity, I feel like an alien when trying to question why we should care.

I had a coworker that might have been bipolar as well but didn’t really explicit it, and we felt we shouldn’t dig. In a week to week basis work was done. We were a team of 7 so someone being on or off at a given time had little impact, hell any member could be warped into another project for 3 days and come back later, nobody was dying, nobody really cared, we just re-shuffled tasks and go on with our life.

But she had points ducked from her evaluations every quarter for not having a regular schedule, and submitting sick days without notice. Nothing else in our job was predictable (and we had no on call shift), but it was sacro-saint to have a regular presence, and my bosses looked personally attacked someone could not respect the set rythm.

They were all smart people, but it was maddening.

Sorry for the rant, but It still pisses me off years later.

Microsoft gave up on the syscall-emulation approach mostly because of filesystem performance issues - WSL1 uses the host NTFS filesystem for everything whereas WSL2 uses a backing ext4 disk image, which means that as long as one stays in the "Linux world" the performance is way better.

I'd say no, given that no language with HKT has ever been popular (sorry Haskell, you're cool, but not “popular”)…
No it was created by them because they ignore those zoning laws and are willing to go to court to fight attempts to enforce them against their clientele. Finding a creative way to help people break laws with little chance of their being any consequences for yourself because you are a) in another jurisdiction and b) backed by billionaires like PG who believe they have a divine right to "disrupt" societies against the wishes of the people who live in them in the name if profit, is not something to be applauded. There is nothing "natural" about the creation of demand by Airbnb and it has brought little but misery to the poorest members of society while enriching those at the top.
You're right, it is. It's cognitive dissonance on my part because theoretically, dairy products can be produced ethically, even though they rarely are.

I'm quite surprised to see the overwhelming negativity towards cypress here.

I recently started using it in a small project and I'm really enjoying myself. I mainly use cypress for high level UI testing and I mock my sever.

I found the server mock tool (route and route2) brilliant. I find the syntax for browser commands easy (visit, click, get). Using mocha with should and chai is fine.

Anyways, apart from some minor problems (you can't select a single test to run), I really love cypress. Compared to last time I used selenium, it's such a difference. Especially that cypress just seems to be one holistic package that works. Can't say the same for selenium.
google++

That's what popped in my mind when the title ("Stories meet their widest audience ever").
Yes, and if they required the host to live in the space too, 90% of the issues they caused would have been avoided. But “disrupting” VRBO’s market by making it hip and ignoring all those pesky regulations (BnB licensing) made them realize that real estate arbitrage was _much_ more profitable. And their fault was the same as google’s: our motto is “don’t be evil”, but it’s so profitable so I guess we just forget the motto.

Sibling comment conductr is part of the problem, the same blindness as Airbnb: I want what other people have (private pads in cool locations, rented by the day), and I don’t care if that’s unsustainable in the long term, I will just take advantage of it now.
You can make a more specific query instead.
I don’t get why people call this guy a fascist when he defends freedom. I guess fascist is the standard insult for politicians we don’t like nowadays.

> So every every single time you loose any drive in a mirror setup you risk all the data on all drives in the entire pool.

Not true. If you lost all the drives in a mirror vdev, you lost those files not the entire pool.

More importantly, mirrors are not limited to two drives. You can have any number.

I use mirror vdevs with 4 drives.
When I searched for few athletes on Google, I remember seeing a stories+AMA like feature. It looks like this has already in use for internal Google search products. It looks like a content publishing platform and Google crawler will aggregate these stories across the web to show the most trending stories on web.

If executed well I do see this being successful. But it's Google, the team which developed is may very well be working on something else and this will most likely not get marketing budget and support needed to succeed.
I'm using it for a Vue project at work, and it's really easy to use. Had to get used to chaining the commands, and working around a few issues like when I needed to access something JS object (simply exposed the service object I needed globally when Cypress tests were executed, and then verified what I needed).

Used Selenium 1 and 2 in the past, and Cypress is definitely much easier. Can't say if the current Selenium is better though. But being able to reply the DOM states, and record videos, without needing to install other tools/libs is also very convenient.
