Redux Alternative with Devtools
La Taverne is an elementary Flux implementation to manage your global App state.
the idea is to keep Redux original power and simplicity, and to remove the headaches of addons like Redux-toolkit, Redux-thunks, Reselect etc...

Assigned CVE-2021-1000040 for this issue because a minimum DroidScript can no longer get updates out to users. They may also be doing bad things, as claimed by Google, but either way the ecosystem will start to get stale and security issues can't be easily fixed right now.
And can be edited in VSCode

And you still need the phone app for that Linux client; everything is routed through that.

Good grief, I keep bloody repeating this. Do you people actually read anything?

> Although, if you're using Whatsapp at all you're either massively ignorant or stupid. I mean, giving Facebook your phone number is just not wise.

I'm a normal human being who values social contact and doesn't want to pester all my friends in using some other app, and a lot of businesses use WhatsApp here too.

I am neither "ignorant" nor "stupid". This is literally the worst of HN right here. Do you even listen to what people have to say and consider perspectives outside of your own?

Mining BTC is as much like counterfeiting USD as mining gold is like counterfeiting USD, which is to say, not alike at all.
I suspect they only tested this on google image search, which doesn't actually try to do any kind of fancy facial recognition - it just (I believe) drastically downsizes the image, and looks for images that are similar to the downsized image. So flipping the image 180 degrees would be good enough to "trick" google.
oh thanks for the heads up, yes looks similar. But Jumprope hopefully has a couple more perks:

You can create your own shortcuts at https://jumprope.ai without needing to submit them to ddg

You can also do alias commands - for example I set it up so "prs" opens me github pull requests page for example and "zm" opens the company zoom link

but yes thanks for the heads up!
I run lineage but I don't typically use my terminal on my phone unless I'm using it for SSH. I hadn't though of the chroot angle though. That's rather interesting...
A paperback book or something can give the same social signal. :)
My wife prints lots of things out (usually some sort of long doc description recipes, walkthroughs, coupons, large bills, etc). She likes to have a 'hardcopy'. Whatever no big deal (I personally want as little paper as possible). Except for progressive sites. That one took me a bit to figure out what was going on. Basically you have to scroll the whole page to make it print everything as stuff loads in only if it is scrolled into view. Also print preview is your buddy here. If it does something weird do not print it.
Those are the types of legacy apps and internal websites I was referring to.

What did you think I was talking about instead?
I may have failed to get my point across.

> This isn't anti-competitive behavior in the common understanding of it, and certainly not in the legal sense

That's the same thing I'm saying, that advertising is not anti-competitive. You brought up the NFL example, and I replied by saying that's a bad example because it's just advertising, and advertising is not anti-competitive behavior.

> As for the Samsung example, I completely disagree. If it was a situation like that Microsoft would have paid enough money to be an exclusive provider. You can't count that $400 million as lost without counting how much Microsoft paid them for the exclusivity. If the NFL was just using a bunch of different products then the value of the advertising to Microsoft is reduced, and so they would pay less for it or not participate at all, which they have every right to do.

There I think you may have misread/misinterpreted the last sentence in my comment. I was saying that Microsoft forcing the NFL to use Surface tablets by threatening to cut off their access to Windows/Office if they don't is anti-competitive, because it means Microsoft does not have to get into a bidding war with the competition (like Samsung), and at the same time it means Samsung was unfairly robbed of a business opportunity by a competitor.

I never said that the actual Surface deal Microsoft struck with the NFL (in real life, not in analogy land) was anti-competitive.

Also, I don't see what the Roku/Netflix button thing has to do with this thread, because the OP is about Google threatening to pull Youtube TV from Roku unless Roku gives them preferential treatment in their software (among other demands).
If Elon catches wind of this we'll have robo-PC-taxi service soon.
I suspect the larger issue is that providing too much detail essentially trains malware authors to route around the company's defenses.

Perhaps so, but it seems not unreasonable to have SOME ability to work with the creator of an app that's been on the store for years with a substantial number of ongoing users and (speculating) a non troublesome patten of installs and purchases.

Nobody believes that Google is technically out financially unable to do this, which leaves the other option - at a corporate level not giving a shit enough to even bother trying.

Google will often do the right thing whether by plan or by happenstance, but it pays to be aware that when it does the wrong thing there is no recourse and will be no correction.
> Just imagine Apple releasing the Mx chips for server infrastructure. Intel ought to be sweating bullets now.

As a developer, I'm sweating bullets. Imagine a future where Apple is the only serious platform left on mobile, server and desktop, then developers can forget about starting that next disruptive startup and instead they will become just second-class Apple "employees" with contracts similar to Uber drivers.

That oil burning happens as the engine RPMs change.

No engine RPM changing when coupled with a generator. Use as a range extender is perfect for a rotary where it's power to weight ratio smashes all other ICE designs. Far fewer moving parts too. The only things that really gave a hassle with rotary engines were the seals and this isn't the 80's any more either.

I always wanted an RX-7 and had many friends who did. I'd rather change seals in a rotary than a timing belt!
Hi! Thanks for replying. Is there any storage layer? Or is everything encoded in the URL?
This is a hot take. How does violence fit into this model?

If someone is killed in a crime of passion, where's the monetary exploitation?
No, it's shitty developers that hurt accessibility. There are so many other worse ways to wreck accessibility than disabling zoom, including popup modals, grossly large banner ads, JS that consumes CPU and huge amounts of bandwidth, supporting only English, putting text in images without alt text, hard-to-read font choices, and so on. People do all of the above. There are good devs and crappy devs. If a website is made by crappy devs it will naturally lose reader interest.

There are actual accessibility reasons for wanting to take control of pinch zoom behavior. As long as I'm actually catering to accessibility, if I have to be forced to use the OS pinch zoom to do that it's going to be LESS accessible. The OS pinch zoom only works for text and static 2D images and nothing else. If you try to OS-pinch-zoom a 3D object on a web page, it zooms the whole UI and not the object. That's a major accessibility problem for say a website that offers 3D models.

And no, I don't think "create an app" is the answer as another comment said. I want LESS apps, LESS spyware, and more in-browser, fully-featured, perfect mobile experiences designed in HTML5 because it's MUCH harder to invade privacy with HTML5 than it is with a native app, and if Apple would stop compromising HTML5 features, a huge number of mobile apps can be implemented in it.

There's a go-kart track near me... and they have someone who goes around after each session and sprays some kind of fog on the karts. I presume it's a "sanitizer" but if you look how sanitizers work, they still take time to act and it takes a decent quantity of it to work. Meanwhile the steering wheels are covered in pourous foam / plastic / rubber, which is soaking up everybody's sweat, germs and bacteria... and some how this fog, which is safe for the person spraying it to stand in, sanitizes the entire kart in under a few seconds and leaves behind no residue...
I totally would but it better be REALLY fast

The ethics coursework at my ABET accredited alma mater, which was a 1 credit joke BTW, mostly covered plagiarism.

Human ethics are basically not covered at all. There is a huge ideological blindspot inside engineering departments - if my work is thorough and scientifically sound that's enough. The process is elevated above the final result, especially the final product's interaction with the wider world.

You can build a nuclear bomb following that mindset, but people just seem to miss it.
Having similar issue myself, I have found simpler and cheaper alternative - $20 Gl.inet mini router [1] that runs OpenWRT, but also has frienly UI where you can turn STA mode, connect it to your wireless network and have wired internet on the ethernet port.

I use it for wireless Wake-on-Lan for my homelab PC, integrated with homeassistant and Google Assistant voice command “Hey Google, turn on homelab”.

You've pinpointed what sent UML off the rails. CASE tools were going through one of their hype phases about the same time UML was getting attention. The CASE people latched on to UML as the notation that would enable automatic code generation and round-tripping, and that led to the contortions you mention.

We still have diagramming tools that create and work with the useful parts of UML in reasonable ways, we just needed to jettison the no-code weight that was dragging the notation into dead ends.
I consider Facebook malicious, and I've just learnt that their pre-installed app basically has root on my Android.

This is not a problem, it is a challenge to be managed. The world is on track to peak at 10 billion people near 2100. It is not a bad thing total fertility rate continues to decline far below replacement rate.

Yes, you're going to burn a few more percentage points of GDP during a window of time on caring for the elderly vs other progress producing activities, but such is the cost of reaching a population equilibrium with sustainable resource consumption.
> Correct me if I am wrong, but to an extent, isn't the memory bloat inherent to Chrome's sandboxing model?

It just puts each tab into a native process, so there's no inherent need for the per tab sandbox to be more heavyweight than a native process.
I'd like a solid answer to this too; it's my biggest concern with any sort of "batch online requests" functionality in any language; unsafe shutdowns can/will always happen at some point, and it feels like this is always a data loss risk.
There are better ways to build affordable housing already.

You make a factory that builds prefabricated panels then deliver them onsite. With prefab, you don’t need to transport an expensive piece of equipment to remote parts of the world and have onsite experts there to supervise and repair it. You don’t have to deal with tear down and setup of the equipment at every site and installers have predictable channels to install any power/ water infrastructure.

I suspect the reason this is popular is more because they are aesthetically pleasing and use new/ special technology than anything else.
The kind of toxicity I’m talking about doesn’t even involve a conversation.

As an example, a couple months ago at the start of a dev meeting, my boss made a joke about a protest organized by business owners in the area urging our governor to open up businesses. It was covered as a largely conservative group.

Here’s roughly how that went:

Boss: “Doesn’t seem like a chance of this lockdown ending with all of those morons protesting this week”

Coworker A: “Yeah, it’s scary how many of them think the virus doesn’t exist”

Coworker B (imitating conservatives): “I’ll just shoot at the virus with my gun”

Everyone laughs

Coworker A: “The problem is they’re just not educated. If only we could steal their kids away and take them to some private education camp”

Boss grunts with agreement.

Coworker B: “Or they should just be prevented from having kids at all”

Coworker A: “Maybe it’s for the best that they’re the ones that will die off. Natural selection at work.”

Everyone laughs. Then the meeting starts.

It escalates so quickly, in an awkward “half joking” way, that at no point to I feel able to jump in and provide perspective that many of them feel their livelihoods are threatened. That maybe we’re lucky that we haven’t missed a paycheck. That maybe they’re protesting not out of ignorance, but rather perspective we don’t have.

Sometimes it’s simpler - my boss jokes that a neighbor put up a Trump sign and he “always thought they seemed like inbreds”, or a coworker questions why his friends daughter is dating a conservative who “hates women”.

Is that my cue to explain “actually, I’m a conservative but believe strongly in women’s equality” or “hey, just because I have strong feelings about the 2nd amendment precisely as a means for women and minorities to protect themselves doesn’t mean I’m a bigot or an inbred?”

To be fair, I have not outed myself as either a conservative or LGBTQ. Maybe they would think twice about what they say if I do. Maybe these are perfectly innocent jokes using a form of hyperbole that I’m just not getting.

But I’ve also had plenty of conversations with friends and family along the “I wish gay people would keep it to themselves” and “kids need a mom and dad”. In those cases I’ve always felt able to have a discussion advocating against their ideas without feeling like my tires would be slashed in the parking lot.
to be honest there is no AI yet - the vision is to have predictive suggestions, automatically open the first result on the page if beyond a certain confidence threshold, etc!

and yes, I do agree memorization is hard with more than a few commands. I am trying to solve it by adding jumps to the search suggestions, so when you type things like drive.google a search suggestion will say "tip, use gd to open or search google drive"
TBH this seems like such a weirdly pessimistic take to me.

I mean, on one hand, I fully understand that many startups begin by offering a free or very low cost service and then have to figure out how to monetize, but I don't really see that as "screwing over the user", I see that as ensuring the business is a going concern. Even as a user, when I see that a business is transitioning from "everything is free and great" stage to "now we need to make money stage", I either leave or decide it's worth it, but I'm not really mad about that.

Furthermore, there are lots of startup services that I use, love and pay for, and I don't feel like I'm getting screwed over.

How long would India be able to keep up TFR with low-density high-TFR places? If people become more affluent and demand more and consume more, at some point minor events become catastrophic. It's not sustainable, unless we start populating other planets (not likely any time soon).

Managing an old population is another issue and an issue everyone will have to come to terms with and manage at some point.
Yeah, if you were in on the ground floor and if you had conviction not to sell once you 10x or 100x. Few people can make that claim.

But meanwhile there have been several other crypto projects that have cropped up that have seen life-changing gains and are actually built on sustainable, value-adding platforms (Ethereum, Uniswap, Synthetix, Aave, etc).
> So... having read through their marketing material, this is an on-device tool that opens up what appears to be most of the Android application API to at least the user of the device, and potentially to any Droidscript applications they grab from other sources, and... maybe to other apps on the device? It's not clear from a quick read how extensive the runtime control is.

When did we collectively decide that programmable computers were a Bad Thing?
I think you might solve this by writing a "reliable" supervisor process which actually receives the messages, and preserves message or state history to replay for its supervised process in case it crashes. Of course this really just shoves the problem up the stack, but at least you can stick to "let it crash" when writing the supervised process, and take more care when writing the supervisor which has a smaller scope of responsibility.

India's population "problem" if it can be called that is in only 3-4 states out of 28 - Uttar Pradesh (230M), Bihar (120M), Maharashtra (120M). Most states in India have population densities comparable to countries in Europe.
I think 10 dollars is a lot to ask for a color picker when there are lots of established and free online options (Adobe Kolor, Coolers, etc.). If you could match the featureset of those programs with some sort of cloud-saving functionality/library for my palette, I'd probably go for it. Especially if it has a Linux-native frontend like GTK, I'd end up using it pretty frequently.

“Teslas are bad cars. Here are a few reasons why.”
Modern houses are very easy to install and come in preconfigured shapes. They ship flat packed components and drop them on site for low skilled workers to build. They include things like bathrooms and kitchens as part of the build.
One thing about places like the Blue Ridge is they are popular enough for tourism that they draw people from all over the country - including those who have never or rarely driven similar roads. That plus being crowded can be a perfect storm for stupid accidents.

Maybe it was/is a dud for COVID-19, but there does appear to be many gains from this outside of COVID-19. Infectious diseases that ARE highly transmissible on contact has been dramatically reduced.

Am I suggesting we continue with this level of rigor for cleaning after the pandemic has ended? No. But it does highlight how much "healthier" we can be as a society with a little more emphasis on general hygiene.

"Apathy from higher classes is not really something endemic to India, and I doubt its intensity is much more here than in other countries."

Let's say you live in a community where everyone has plenty of water, and you just happen to have a lot more of it than everybody else, and you do nothing.

The consequences of that are very different than if you lived in a community that was experiencing a drought and many people were dying of thirst, and you had lots of water and chose to do nothing.

So to compare the inaction and self-centerdness of the rich in India with similar inaction and self-centerdness of the rich in other countries whose population is much wealthier overall and less in dire need compared to India is misleading.

The consequences of inaction in India are much more severe.

"the "rich people" who can escape to 5-star hospitals in India are in an extreme minority"

And yet in them are concentrated extreme wealth and power. It's that wealth and power that could be used to help India as a whole rather than to help this tiny minority alone.
For AEC in the US, it is clunky because mechanical and electrical work is typically subcontracted to other firms. Those firms serve many other firms. Their CAD files reflect how they produce their work. The architect doesn't dictate the CAD file organization of their consultants...it's not worth paying for because it will just slow down the project.

Reconciling the MEP layouts tends to be manual, but it's just part of the job.

Automation may happen on large projects, but that's not most projects.

Is it worth solving? No.

The economics don't work out. The problem has been solvable for more than thirty years. The nature of the business relationships and the cost sensitivity of design fees and the disruption of changes to methods make it mostly a non-starter.

In mathematical terms it's in NP. A job shop scheduling problem where each workstation has no slack capacity.

There's no money in solving it. The limits on profits are almost entirely in the class of clients a firm has not in its work methods.
