That's not quite true. If you delete an app from the app folder on a Mac, 99% of the time you'll get 100% of the binaries associated with the app. You'll leave behind inert configuration information in /Library and any relevant ~/Library folders, but that's all.

On Windows, binaries end up strewn all over the place, including C:\Windows, which is one reason that C:\Windows grows inexorably over time (even under 10) if you frequently install and uninstall software, and the only approved-by-MSFT approach to shrinking it is a wipe and reinstall.

Now, the Mac doesn't prevent installers from doing goofy stuff, or from dropping binaries more widely. VMWare, for example, does this, but VMWare is also doing something more elaborate than an Office app. Adobe does this, but that's Adobe being a jerk -- there's no technical reason they need to do it.

And anyway, you can easily go into the folders in /Library & etc to zap the leftover stuff if you want -- there's no Registry or anything that would cry foul. It's just that most people don't bother.

Do you have a source on Reagan and Carter pardoning people who gave them money?

The issue isn't Trump issuing a lot of pardons. It's the corrupt (though legal) influence market that is essentially rewarding him financially for doing it.

It's really frustrating that criminal consequences are moot if you find a way to get this president's attention or loyalty.

I don't have a book suggestion but I am 49 and have been thinking deeply about friendship for some time.

I think 'mutual' is a key word in friendship. I have worked hard over the years to maintain friendships and have discovered my efforts aren't always recipricated. Stop contacting certain friends and you will find very quickly that they don't get in touch. I have decided to spend much less time on friendships which are not mutual.

If you have 2 or 3 close friends you are doing well. My tips are to listen more and don't just contact people when you are bored. Respond to people when they reach out to you, even if don't feel like it.

When you are feeling sorry for yourself call someone less better off than yourself. I have an older, infirm friend and when I feel sorry for myself I often give him a call. This reminds my problems are just feelings, not real problems.

Finally, my best friend is my wife. Don't ever take your partner for granted if you have one. There are very few people in the world who will ever be actively interested in you.
I think everyone has had this distinction on their mind when designing error handling in the past thirty years or so, it’s just that figuring out an ergonomic way to express it is quite hard.

In some languages the distinction is between logic errors and runtime errors. In Java, checked and unchecked exceptions. In Go, err and panic. Rust also has Err() and panic!().

If you look at, say, the evolution of the “if” statement, it was a number of years before this “obvious” control structure was added to programming languages. So there might be something similarly obvious for error handling, we just haven’t figured it out yet.
I’m arguing that given the two options, actual people is probably more likely than a grand conspiracy of deep fakes.
Actually, a market instills morals - although not the ones I'd like:

* Never give, only sell.

* Produce in accordance to the interests of those with money, not people in general or those with need.

* Everything, and perhaps every one, can be bought for the right price.

* Debt must be repaid.

etc.

What gives you the impression pardons are limited to those that are "delivered" and/or "accepted".

The Supreme Court apparently ruled that way in a case a long time ago and that precedence has never been challenged (or come up again for that matter)

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9IRZ9FzWEA

But realistically if they tried to revoke a pardon today it would certainly go to the Supreme Court again and they would almost certainly rule the other way.

Explanation of SoundCard market death:

Microsoft removed all capabilities of user software to directly interface with audio hardware, MS at the time officially blamed BSoDs that were caused by soundcards, but this change also made very hard to write software that could circunvent audio DRM (ie: when you had total access to soundcard hardware, it was easy to write a program to just stream to disk whatever the soundcard calculated, before it encoded the HDMI DRM on the output).

The new "driver API" for soundcards was extremely limited, basically you could tell windows some details of your hardware, and software could ask windows to do certain tasks, like raise volume, lower volume, etc... any Windows game since that has their own 3D audio, is done by the game itself calculating the audio, and asking Windows to play that audio.

But when you could tinker with the hardware directly, you could build audio processors that would take as inputs some audio samples, then 3D models, material definitions, and then raytrace (in way almost identical to video, since light is also wave, thus same rules apply, this also mean it has same computational expense) the results, then you could play on the speakers the result.

If the user had multiple speakers, he could explain to the soundcard where they are physically in his RL room, then the soudncard could act as if each speaker was a "camera" in the 3D world, and raytrace how the audio would act, for example suppose the player was underwater in a pool room, and there was a loud explosion outside, the game would figure out the sound would reflect on the hallway corridors, reach the door, difract, reach the water, refract, and reach the player.

One way of doing so was EAX from Creative, but OpenAL also worked too, it even intentionally had API at the time simialr to OpenGL, so it a graphics coder would feel confortable also coding the 3D audio, Doom3 for example supports OpenAL 3D audio.

As for the high-tech CRT, DiabloD3 awnser is accurate, there was also Sony's "Field Emission" tech too.

And no, analog signals are not easy to generate, the "dirt cheap dongles" or aren't cheap (good converters from digital to analog are often in the 50 USD+ range having good proper RAMDACs) or are crap and can't do high-res high-refresh rate, and might struggle with colour, in analog era some crazy stuff regarding colours were possible, for example SGI sold a videocard that could output the analog data to display image files that had 48 bits per pixel, one of its purposes was HDR photo editing, "cheap dongles" absolutely can't do that.
Where they're launching now is fairly remote, and they bought out anyone who lived nearby.

I wonder if it's really about that. Presumably if you could launch at the equator it would be a little cheaper to get to space, but having floating platforms that far away might eat up those benefits and more.

I'm very curious about the reasoning behind this.
As background, to set the scene for what the state of privacy is in India: India has no privacy legislation, and selling datasets seems to be a popular informal activity[1]. (That article is worth a read in its entirety.)

It’s not unusual for shops to demand a telephone number during even small purchases, and your number will be spammed with SMS ads shortly thereafter. Also email spam if they somehow get your email.

Chat archives (possibly backups?) of people under investigation have been leaked to the media with no consequence to the leaker.

Essentially it’s an extreme “laissez-faire” environment, one almost out of a textbook example of what happens in the absence of any regulation whatsoever.

The above doesn’t have anything to do with Facebook or WhatsApp (except tangentially), it’s just to note that privacy legislation would be a very helpful quality of life improvement for many Indians.

Perhaps someone on HN who knows more about this can share why the efforts to have privacy legislation in India have so far been unsuccessful.

I'm interest to know why you think Starlink would disrupt real estate? Do you think more people will move to rural areas if they had access to high speed internet there?
Amazing book and you totally nailed the reason why it's my all-time favorite. It's a monster story where the book itself is the monster. Instead of seeing the monster through the words of the characters, the reader holds it in their own hands. In our insane pursuit of reading and understanding this monstrous book we become a little bit like Ahab himself by the end. It gives you an impression of something huge lurking behind the pages, something bigger than your comprehension. The pursuit of God, or the Truth, or whatever big universal thing you believe in, is such a huge and terrifying endeavor that it will break a human being if we are too honest about it. Moby Dick is truly an awe-inspiring experience. Also, don't skip the whaling chapters. They are secretly the best parts of the book.

Another book that gives off very similar vibes is Don DeLillo's Underworld.
Nice, that was a HN worthy article by itself.
I really feel for all the prosecutors who worked so hard to catch these criminals.
At least for me it seems that Snowden and Assange are considered deserving of pardons by the part of public which are anti-Trump and the Trump "core audience" would rather pardoning them as insulting.

FUD.

The only restrictions on MacOS are reasonable defaults to prevent unsigned, non-app-store programs from running. Given that there are many more users like my 80 year old mother than there HN-types, this is FINE, since those settings are easy to turn off.

Windows, btw, does the same thing on home versions -- except its "S Mode" is WAY more fiddly to get rid of, and once turned off cannot be turned back on.

How does this work if someone outside of the EU is in the same group or private chats as an EU user?

Surely by sharing information about those chats they would be breaking the GDPR if that's the case.

Ted Chiang's Stories of Your Life and Others is the best, single-author collection of short stories I've ever read. If you like that, you might also enjoy The Lifecycle of Software Objects, an absolutely heartbreaking novella about simulated children, and his follow-up collection Exhalation.

Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game is fantastic, and it's follow-up, Speaker for the Dead is even better, and my favorite science fiction novel of all time. They won back to back Hugo and Nebula awards. Card is a polarizing figure for his outspoken political opinions, but if ever the art should be separated from the artist, it's Speaker, which is an incredible exploration of empathy and responsibility, in addition to being a gripping, action-packed, science-literate read. Many more in this series, if you get into it.

John Scalzi's Old Man's War series is fantastic, if you're into military science-fiction, or even if you're not. Smart, funny, engaging and accessible, and reminiscent of Heinlein at his prime, minus the weird incest fetish. Redshirts, a Star Trek parody, rivals Galaxy Quest and only falls short because Galaxy Quest is so goddamn brilliant. Agent to the Stars is less appreciated, but in my opinion his finest novel, rising way above its goofy premise by taking it seriously, exploring the consequences and treating the characters with empathy and respect. Also hilarious.

Seconding Dune, which is a classic for a reason, and Stranger in a Strange Land (though I think The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is a better place to start with Heinlein). Also Neal Stephenson, though I'd suggest Cryptonomicon over Diamond Age.

But I dare you to actually demonstrate a performance difference. Compared to a memory access, a `dec` is free.
This comment is playing fast and loose with the facts. No part of Oracle's suit against Google relied on the claim that "Java wasn't open-source at the time Google copied it" (for good reason).

> they are really bad at shepharding, just look at the state of android java vs openjdk

This has nothing to do with copyright law―the thing that Google was sued for. There is no legal argument in this remark (which is the problem with about half the comments that appear saying that Google was in the wrong), just an assertion based on an appeal to emotion that Google deserved to be sued, and then working backwards from there to present a half-formed argument.
There's another non-intuitive and also inconsistent usage of ranges that I find rather confusing: if you say that a meeting is from 9 to 10, it's one hour long. If you say that you'll be on vacation from January 20 to 21, most people seem to think that means two days.
I do not believe anyone has claimed that a single speech inspired insurrection. I do believe lots of people believe that messages over time led citizens to believe their gun rights, free speech rights and voting rights were threatened, and that they would need to fight to keep them.

https://www.justsecurity.org/74138/incitement-timeline-year-...

https://www.brandeis.edu/now/2021/january/trump-language-cap...

That being said, the speech itself certainly didn't help.

> they rigged an election.

> They rigged it like they’ve never rigged an election before.

> All of us here today do not want to see our election victory stolen by emboldened radical left Democrats

> You don’t concede when there’s theft involved.

> We will not take it any more

> We will not let them silence your voices.

> Although with this administration, if this happens, it could happen. You’ll see some really bad things happen. They’ll knock out Lincoln too, by the way.

> we’re going to have somebody in there that should not be in there and our country will be destroyed

> some of these guys. They’re out there fighting the House.
Guys are fighting, but it’s incredible

> Democrats attempted the most brazen and outrageous election theft. There’s never been anything like this.

> We’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength, and you have to be strong.

> We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing

> Our country has been under siege for a long time

> You will have an illegitimate president, that’s what you’ll have. And we can’t let that happen.

Probably a waste of my effort, but it's quite disingenuous to claim that not saying the word "trespass" in this speech after years of messaging that the Democrats are the enemy of Trump and Trump's followers proves it wasn't yet another piece of incitement. He absolutely encouraged "fighting." So either you believe he's a complete imbecile who does not understand what happens if you get a bunch of armed citizens to believe their favorite rights will be lost if they allow a fraudulent election of a Democratic President to come to fruition, or you understand that he was intentional with his language over time.

The time limit on patents/copyright imply to me that they are giving you time to recoup costs and enjoy the reward of your innovation. If that's so, I'd argue that over the last century the time required to enjoy innovation (time to market saturation) has gone down. Even for physical goods? I think that the radio took decades to become widespread. The ipod took... a few years?

All that to say, maybe virtual innovation takes even less time, and should have less time to enjoy monopoly? But I'm only playing your devil's advocate.
"Over half are now opposed" is the claim now made in respected Polish news sources across the ideological spectrum. People were initially somewhat approving of the lockdown last year, but the ruling party made a misstep when they extended it after it was meant to expire.
I probably support this one. Just like I support pardons for non-violent drug offenders. Copyright and patent laws are stupid in the first place.
