I've met the creator of Vent. Cool dude, moderately wealthy and I believe very happy to sit on his "fuck you" money and give back to the community upon occasion (Quakecon giveaways, for example). Vent 4 was DOA.

Teamspeak though, yeah, I'm surprised it didn't try to integrate streaming into its mechanism.

Mumble is still alive and well, and very functional for audio-sharing. Nothing in the way of video or streaming, though.
This is my wait and see.

The fact that the 1TB and 2TB storage versions of the M1 iPad Pro have 16GB of memory is something. Plus Thunderbolt 4. It's an M1 iMac you can carry around.

If there isn't capability to easily use that hardware as a normal person (as in, creating bespoke apps), it'd all be for naught for me.

I'm due for an iPad upgrade, but I'm waiting until WWDC on June 7th before I decide on what I'll get. I won't make a bet and pay more for hardware I'll never be able to easily take advantage of. Though if an iPad Pro can let me do a lot more with a more advanced Window manager, it could just end up being a laptop that's not a laptop for when I don't want to sit at a desk in front of my workstation.
Thanks, got any references to how the surveying equipment de-aliasing method worked?
You can't invent your own definition of end-to-end encryption. There is a material difference between a service which end-to-end encrypts your files – even if it sends you the code to do so – and one which does not.

When a user logs into 1Password.com, they're using end-to-end encryption. The master password and secret key never leave the browser. The server never receives the key and therefore does not have a way to access the contents of password vaults.

This is very different from an application which, by design, sends your plaintext data to remote servers.

The English phrase we use to describe this difference is "end-to-end encryption".
Actually, I think that it is a good idea, although it should need to mention what info (e.g. download link, source code, documentation, etc; this will likely span several paragraphs), and you should probably include the <title> as well. Other than that, I think that is good.
A) Only if, as part of your service, your users can directly connect to Postgres, side-stepping your app.

B) Nope

If you're in a situation where you do not feel safe by the administration team of a server, you probably shouldn't stick around. While I do understand the concern about something like this, if the admin team are people you know and trust, this data is not going to be used against you.

Trust is always important for these things, regardless of the platform. Discord didn't even have my email address for the four first four years I used it
Dear Pulumi: Do you have an HCL to Pulumi converter thingy? The first big barrier to using Pulumi in my org is that they basically banned anything other than Terraform "because standardization". I would love to get rid of TF, but we need a migration path.

The next big stumbling block is your license...
The whole issue arose from the claim that the Timescale license was designed to be less restrictive then the AGPL.

That's why Open Source came up in the first place - pointing out that one of the basic reasons for the Timescale license to exist in the first place is to restrict one of the major reasons Open Source licenses exist.
I'd trust the blockchain enough to use it for voting if implemented in an open-source way. Something like Monero allowing for only the individuals involved in the transaction to know who they voted for.
There was an essay that I saw on HN where the author talked to a bunch of "real" engineers -- i think the author had some 'real' engineering experience and software engineering experience -- to try and compare and contrast and see if the things people usually say about the differences are true.

I can't find it now! Which is frustrating me. Anyone else seeing htis have any ideas?

It was enlightening, and challenged some things we assume about differences. "real" engineering is also pretty diverse, of course, not just civil engineers making bridges and highways.
It’s vague because “client-server cryptography pretending to be end-to-end” could be referring to any of a number of different flaws when you could just be specific in the first place in as many words, and it’s misleading because actual client-server encryption in this case leaks private data to the server passively, which is a significant difference. Feel free to popularize a separate term for this if you don’t like “end-to-end”.
Can confirm. A client of mine just moved ~50 devs from Slack to Discord. I'm in the process of helping them move/port their infrastructure slack bots to discord and it has been super smooth.

What fantasy land is everyone living in where billionaires are either uninterested in browsing the internet, or have their twin butlers Jeeves and Brimbly there to click the right & left mouse buttons for them?

Regent (YC W21) Raises $9M to Build 180MPH Flying Electric Ferry
lets not forget the awful UI for podcasts on audible. Only showing the last three episodes in the app having to go through multiple screens just to download back episodes, having to manually start the next episode instead of playing them automatically. having to subscribe to each season of the same podcast separately so if you don't already know they next is out you don't get it, the whole experience is painful enough I have pretty much given up on listening to any amazon produced podcast as it s just to much of a pain in the ass to listen to them.
FWIW, I'm in the same bucket and I'm leaning toward Blazor. There's a big push in .NET 6 to deliver "Blazor Desktop", which is essentially more native wrappers around Blazor Server: https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/issues/27217

Might not fit your needs (it is bringing web technology to native apps, much like Electron) but I think it has more of a future than XAML. And the underlying technologies (Razor, Blazor Server) have been around for a while so you can get started now even if all the pieces aren't quite there.

edit: rereading the MAUI repo, it looks like hosting Blazor inside a MAUI app will be an option. Nice.
Totally unrelated but you made ok! I learned a ton from it! Both from using from reading the implementation. Thank you so much for it!
This goes on critiquing how C# has a high barrier to entry because you have to learn [insert long list of popular C# frameworks]. But no, you don't have to learn any of those things, you can just start learning C#.

Then:
"Just think about the upcoming release of .NET 5 and how it will invalidate most of the lessons taught just a few months ago .... the wider .NET community has failed in making .NET a more beginner friendly language"

.NET isn't a language! It is, I will agree, absurd that Microsoft way back when decided to give the totality of the infrastructure around their language a name at all, let alone one as confusing as .NET, but that is all it is. A name applied to sometimes the compiler/runtime/core libraries or all of the above.

Unfortunately this has led to people wandering into forums asking "how can I learn C# and .NET?" nobody ever wanders into a forum asking "How can I learn C++ and llvm"?
> Exams can be rescheduled, extenuating circumstances taken into account. As someone that has fallen ill quite suddenly through examination periods due to chronic illness I never appreciated the dogmatic approach taken when administering tests. I'm a human being, things happen, systems go down...

The problem is that any "leeway" will be taken up by cheaters. And the cheaters far outnumber the people like you who genuinely need some slack.

When I taught, I tried not to be dogmatic. But people have to understand that when a prof gives leeway, he's putting his ass on the line ... he doesn't have authority to do that and he could get burned if someone gets riled up about it.

So, if your prof cuts you slack that you needed, keep it to yourself and STFU.
It's amazing how disconnected from reality Susan is... I don't think she even knows it. YouTube is probably the poster child for censorship in the context of genuinely free (1A-protected) speech.

I have no idea how this self-stroking "award" can be taken seriously by those who actually monitor freedom of speech (excluding porn, which I don't consider 'speech').

This leaves out the possibility that a company puts out a bug bounty without ever paying any reporters.

A company could simply dismiss most reports as duplicates, maybe even with a fake hall of fame, and get away with this for a long time.

Quote from an article about carbon coin in the book:

> It’s called Carbon Coin in the book, a Bitcoin-like currency that the Ministry gives out for carbon sequestration — that is, any project that sucks CO2 out of the air, whether it’s carbon capture or farmers rewilding their fields — at a rate of one coin to one ton. Oil companies get coins if they stop being oil companies, basically, leaving their assets in the ground for a century or so. Coins can then be bought and sold on currency exchanges like any other.

> The key point is that the world’s central banks agree to back it, buying Carbon Coins on a schedule that slowly raises their price. The planet-saving coin thus becomes the safest investment in history, even more so than U.S. Treasury bonds. Our entire economic system becomes as motivated to fight climate change as it is currently motivated to ignore it.

This is very cool and useful, will be bookmarking for sure. Some of the websites you come across when googling manuals are... less than reputable.

My first suggestion after browsing around for a while is that you need a better embedded PDF viewer. Some manuals are not readable at all[0], it would be cool if we could zoom in. It's especially disappointing because of the huge amount of wasted space in the main pane - why is there a huge light-blue border around the content I want to see?

Toot is a sophomoric word for passing flatulence in the US. So hearing “to toot” summons the mental connection of farting which any marketing person on here will probably tell you people don’t want to be associated with their product.
I binge old podcasts regularly. You can sort episodes old->new.
The app:

* Constant nudging to buy more with all the usual high-pressure sales patterns (creating urgency, doubt, etc)

* Implies tiles with non-replaceable batteries will stop working after a fixed time (they won't).

Other things:

* The tile network is not as complete as I'd want it to be. I once lost my keys at work, and someone turned them in to security. It took a week before I was able to figure out what happened--I guess neither the finder nor anyone working near the security office had the tile app.

* Fairly high subscription fees for the tiles with replaceable batteries.

* Tiles are fairly thick. Even the new Tile Slim is pretty thick to put in a wallet.

Tongue Twisters: In search of the world’s hardest language (2009)
Some relational databases like Postgres and MySQL support JSON columns. This is useful if, for example, you want to create an ecommerce application with multiple product variations stored in a single table, but with different fields - that is called Single Table Inheritance (STI). You can have some regular columns for the common fields, and a JSON column for the specific ones.

If your app is built with Rails, you can use this library to help you on that (I'm not affiliated with it): https://github.com/jrochkind/attr_json
Anything that has a Xamarin legacy will forever have a "buggy and unfinished" stain on it for me. But I'll be glad to be proven wrong.

It looks like everyone ships AirTag location data to Apple, I wonder what the privacy implications are for this..

Apple's data about AirTag logs - when was Apple device X next to AirTag Y..

I also wonder what happens if you have a device that repeatedly calls the AirTag to drain the battery..
What do they talk about on those podcasts? I have never tried because of the feeling that it will be a fake politically correct filtered content written to not offend anyone.

Or the motorola phones before that or the windows version of that or the nokia n900 or maruos or ubuntu touch or... . This has been tried many times before, so I am skeptical that just "a bit into the future" will finally be the time.
Right but it doesn't do any of that either.

blacklisted in what way? For web browsing etc? Pretty much all datacenter IPs are at least going to be on a "suspicious" list for that, and its not like the providers can really avoid that. Servers produce little legitimate web visitors, and lots of bot traffic.

The amount of energy Microsoft is pouring into these front-end efforts is pretty incredible. A more recent development that has me very excited is Blazor Desktop:

https://medium.com/young-coder/blazor-desktop-the-electron-f...

> This leads to the second difference — in a Blazor Desktop app hosted in WebWindow, there’s no built-in web server. Instead, it’s pure .NET all the way down. And while we haven’t seen exactly how this will be implemented, it offers the chance to simplify the hosting model quite a bit. If everything comes together just right, it will be like using Electron without needing to learn Node.

I honestly believe this model is going to revolutionize front-end development. The productivity uplift of not having to fuck around with JSON APIs alone is worth the price of admission. We already use Blazor (server-side) for several of our webapps. I have been able to implement things in 4 hours that would easily have taken 4 weeks if I had to argue with other developers about the shape of a JSON blob on the wire. Need a projection involving 3 collections to produce a table? No problem. It's literally 3-5 lines of LINQ in your razor file. With a "proper" JSON API, you would probably have to fetch 3 different resources to the client or develop a special unicorn method for each unique projection.
I'm a bit late to respond, but nevertheless.

Backstory: 4 of us joined to make a product. 2 of the 4 people had the idea and invited me and another guy to join them in making it happen. All cool.

Except that I didn't quite like one of the 2 'idea' founders. Objectively he's a great potential business partner, has a ton of ideas etc - a hustler type, but he has some character traits that really get on my nerves.

Ex. tyrannic way of suggesting changes + all of the decisions eventually have to go his way. You can fight it, but it drains so. much. energy. Micromanaging tyrant would be a good summary.

Anyhow, I knew this but still went in after disclosing my concerns to the other 'idea' founder. I was confident that I will find a way to work with him, and actually made a challenge to myself to at least use the situation and learn how to handle that kind of people. But long story short, eventually the friction made the partnership too uncomfortable + the product failed (technically his fault in the marketing department), so naturally our contact dissolved away.

I still think I could handle our conflicts (while coding the product) in a better way, but ultimately the biggest benefit I got out of the whole ordeal was honing my bullshit alarms and detectors. Also improving in saying no, but that's still quite a long way from where I'd like it to be.
I don’t get why MSFT keep making the same thing over and over again. Who really cares about these abstraction layers. They produce junk apps by people who rarely care to keep up with them and go obsolete quickly.
Agreed. There's no organic exploration, no sense of discovery. Given the description I feel incredibly let down.
My specific use case but I have my NAS mounted on the iPad files app and use that to transfer files.
"toot" means "fart" where I'm from. Imagine a social network where they referred to posts by users as "farts".

"Your fart was shared by 230 of your followers."

"This fart is NSFW"

"This fart has been promoted"

"Pin this fart to the top of your feed"

It does seem like a poor choice of words. Tweeting on the other hand didn't have a negative connotation until Twitter became what it is today and gave it a negative connotation.
