How many children are optimum?
Huh. Thanks; I stand corrected. The last time I messed with iOS development was years ago, and you could sign and deploy whatever you wanted locally. I forget if it required a developer account then, but definitely not a paid one.
Well, I see the point but I'm not sure how well this will work out - When people shop online, they most likely favor the convenience over physical stores right? So how can this sway that person's mind? Another point is that, introverts may not enjoy that much talking with people and online shopping provided them a way of escape.
> I could just say "In my humble opinion"

One problem I've noticed with the way human beings communicate is that for any given situation, there's no way of knowing whether the person speaking is doing so with an implicit "imho", or whether they mean the things they say literally. In this case, I thought that you were speaking literally.

I wonder how much this phenomenon (and others like it) contributes to the amount of polarization and disharmony we are experiencing in the world right now, or in the past for that matter, all without our knowledge or interest.
I assume their argument here is “It’s expensive to run an App Store that screens content effectively - here is an example where a cheaper store missed something.” This specific example doesn’t seem like strong evidence though.
I often remark that SF and the valley are a flawed democratic institution: it has a very high immigrant population that would vote against the majority of things that get voted. Immigrants are generally tough on crime, Yimby, anti-tax, etc.
I'm curious how you're defining "natural", and if you think ISO-8601 is the reverse of "natural" too.

All human number systems I've ever seen write numbers out as big Endian (yes, even Roman numerals), so I'm really struggling to see how that wouldn't be considered natural.
> Under which metric is the planet complete ruined?

Nature is being destroyed, we polluted our planet enough that it affected the climate. The air we breathe is filled with ultrafine particles. The water is full of microplastics.

Sure, we are able to afford more things, and we have made advances in the medical field. Our expected lifespan has gone up, but are those last few decades worth it ? Spending your last years in adult diapers and being regularly tortured by doctors in an effort to extend your life as much as possible doesn't seem like a big win to me.

Our good years are spent working longer days than ever, doing unhealthy, stressful work to the point that we have to spend our little free time exercising to keep our health. All the while the majority of humans spend their lives in cities that resemble ant hills more than a space designed for humans. More people than ever suffer from anxiety and stress-related mental health problems.

Is life really a better experience now than it was 100 years ago ?

> what's then the maximum number of people that should live on this planet according to you

I would say about 10 million people globally.
You miss the point.

Lil Nas X and The Weeknd are placed in R&B almost exclusively because they are black. In your eyes, sung by a white person in 1986, would be synth pop.

Did Billy Ray Cyrus make Old Town Road suddenly country? Is Montero (call me by your name) rap or a gay dance anthem?
Man, I read the first paragraph and was 100% sure this was going to be a tale of how some garnet salesperson educated you on the intricacies of the market and your life was better for it.

Turned out just how I feel instead... the idea that talking to people at local stores helps you find stuff is fine, except that I don't need help because Google is much, much better at finding stuff.

Even if you don't know exactly what you want, searching online gets you in front of a range of perspectives that you can compare, as opposed to going to the store, where you get the perspective of the person who happens to be working.

Now to be clear, I definitely like to support my local small businesses, but that's mostly because I also own a small business and feel kinship/connection/whatever with them. There are also a few that are better than the internet (e.g. I'd always rather get plants from my local nursery). It's pretty much never because they're better at helping me find something, though.
I never had any significant issues taking over my privacy to corporations, so that does not really bother me. I know that this kind of data in corporations is guarded good enough so leaks are unlikely. I know that those corporations won't cooperate with my government, so that's a non-issue for me as well (might be an issue for US citizens, I guess). So the whole privacy debate looks to me strange, that's not the things that bother me in my life. But that's just my PoV.
I believe American people will pay for it if it affects them, so will Chinese people. I remember when I was small, maybe before 8, I have never seen a plastic bag, everything was paper wrapped, with a string also made of papers. China is developing fast, so fast people are experience new things every day. Chinese people care about health a lot, you will see it in parks every morning, old people go exercise. People care about environment, government cares about environment, businesses start to care about environment.
Existentialism to the rescue!

Life can have meaning because we choose to give it such.
That's what seemed confusing to me, since "it was so realistic that it didn't do what I expected when I pressed a certain key combination" seemed like a weird juxtaposition. Maybe it was the dash...
But then again there is a lot Russia can do to her, for example use her as a token in exchange for some US favour at some convenient time.
I think it's in reference to the rationalizations made in the article. It's perfectly sufficient to have preferences. But the author makes irrational projections about what change might be like to justify his choice.

I think "stick with what you know" can be a sound strategy if you are loss-averse and generally content.
Thank you. Your recent blog post (https://blog.vyne.co/rethinking-api-consumer-patterns/ ) was a positively interesting read. I wonder if there's a query analyzer a ways down the road ...
That’s a lot easier said than done, and it overwhelmingly only affects the people who have chosen not to get vaccinated. I feel bad for their kids etc. too but at some point we’re just gonna have to say “fuck em.”
Agreed with the sibling comment. My own experience with GTK and their developers have been awful.
I did not see you propose a solution so much as regurgitate one.
>What exactly stops gnome terminal (the obvious referent of "all the other terminals") from implementing this itself once the apis are available?

They could but then every terminal would have to re-implement the same feature causing needless code duplication. You can see here later a comment from the tilix developer that explains it: https://github.com/gnunn1/tilix/issues/848#issuecomment-2892...
I imagine Kazakhstan will be less than cooperative with similar requests. Though I'd be terrified to travel if I were her now.
It definity made New Zealand look like a place where the rule law doesn't necessarily apply fairly. Ironically the rule of law would prevent the US from doing the same thing if New Zealand made a similiar request.

There are other, similar services, though. I run an ecommerce store on Shopify, and you've got out of the box integrations with PayPal (which is about 50% of my payments), Amazon Payments and Google Pay, all of which provide a similar experience since they have your payment and shipping info saved.

V = pi r squared times height so figure about 3 times 18 squared times 36 thats about 35K cubic inches if solid, or 2 inch thick walls means subtract 3 times 14 squared times 35 thats about 21K cubic inches. So a good 14K cubic inches of stainless. Engineering rule of thumb to one sig fig (I mean we are assuming pi=3) is stainless is about a quarter of a pound per cu inch, so that pipe weighed about 3500 pounds. A good engineer should be able to do all this in his head; to one sig fig that pipe weighed about as much as a lightweight F-150 pickup truck (not the extended bed super crew cab LOL thats probably 5000 pounds)

World record squat lift was 1036 pounds as I recall. LOL No not my record, my heaviest set on Friday was 480 and 8 reps.
I've seen a lot worse on github, it doesn't seem like that big of a deal, the filer didn't have a bad attitude IMO, but maybe I lack context.
>I'm not saying it's for everyone. I am saying that it's essentially stereotyping to say it not for anyone.

Well, someone can smoke for 60 years, from 20 year old onwards, and never get cancer either. Actually, tons do just that. But lung cancer from smoking is not "stereotyping", it's a causual mechanism and a statistical reality.

It's not like that you mechanically and deterministically die or your health becomes predictably worse at the individual level.

Not to mention there's also the psychological health and the developmental effect.
Farmers typically describe their animals as happy. This doesn't jive with the depictions made by activists vegans of even non-commercial farming.

One of you is wrong. Which is it?

That aside, articles like these are more about convincing the author than anyone else in my view. That doesn't necessarily mean he's wrong. See for example Marcus Aurelius' Meditations. He repeatedly mulls over the prospect of death, with aphorisms to suggest it's nothing to be afraid of. Death was on his mind. This farmer seems to focus on conveying that he has every reason to be happy. It's no coincidence that suicide rates are highest among farmers - is this man simply built different, or is he convincing himself?
I gotta agree, if the application wants green it should get green, not yellow

> Your sole suggestion (resurrect (e)Loran) is expensive and unlikely.

I said "very least". It may not be the solution, it is probably part of a solution(s). The various options being looked at are listed, with test results, in the DOT document.

And running the Loran-c was not that expensive:

> DHS also reported that terminating the system would save the government $36 million in fiscal 2010 and $190 million during a five-year period, according to its budget.

For the purchase price of two F-35s the Loran-C infrastructure could (have) be run for five years.

(e)Loran is being (has been?) deployed by South Korea because of all sorts jamming around their peninsula, and it's quite robust. Russia never shut down their (Chayka) network. China is expanding their network:

> One I forgot to mention is internet-based wifi SSID geolocation lookups

Would Wifi SSIDs will be available to the aircraft flying at 50,000 feet? Which SSIDs are available to folks in their boats in the Florida Keys? Or boats in the shipping lanes in the middle of the Atlantic? Loran-C skywave propagation (especially at night) can give rough positioning at great distances. You wouldn't want to use it for an ILS approach of course.
Scala implicits are used in a few different places, predominantly in library code where they can for example be used to derive instances of type classes. e.g. in circe:

import io.circe.syntax._
List(1, 2, 3).asJson

Where `asJson` requires an instance of an `Encoder`[1] and this Encoder can be derived with the help of implicits.

For you as a normal user, the two common places where you might use implicits are (1) for implicit classes providing syntactic sugar:

// original
def doSomething(a: A): B = ???
val a: A = ???
val b = doSomething(a)

// with implicits
implicit class AImplicits(a: A) {
def doSomething: B = ???
}
val a: A = ???
val b = a.doSomething

and for (2) implicit conversions. These are a foot-gun, so should be used in limited circumstances. At work, we use case classes in data pipelines then convert these to avro classes on save; there's lots of ways to do this, but as an example if you have an `Optional[Int]` and your avro constructor requires a nullable java `Integer` then `JavaConverters` won't save you and you'll need something like:

implicit def optIntToInteger(optI: Option[Int]): java.lang.Integer = optI.map(Int.box).orNull

It wouldn't have been that hard to just ask "why?" rather than marking it as something that needs fixing.
How does that help Apple's case? Isn't the fact that some competing store can't offer porn apps on iOS proof in Epic's favor that Apple should allow 3rd party stores?

There are plenty of VR 3D Porn games (not video). They could potentially run on iOS but since there is no way to install them and no alternative store they aren't allowed.

Note: Apple themselves argued code = speech in their FBI trial. Given that, disallowing certain apps is disallowing certain speech. Apple might not sell porn videos, or porn books (though they probably actually do), or porn music (though the probably actually do) but, all of those things can be installed on your iOS device in other ways. But, porn apps can not and there are plenty of types of porn apps that can't be done via web apps, and certainly not via iOS Safari with it's lack of APIs.

If Apple blocked users from watching/reading/listening to porn on their iOS device people would be likely find it unacceptable. The same should be true for porn apps by Apple's own logic.
Good to see itch.io getting so much press :) The founder is also the author of https://moonscript.org/
> For if he truly believes children and humans are all nothing, then, why toil in vain. Why procrastinate, why suffer at all for nothing.

Because suicide is vastly different from never having been born at all. Like every animal people have an extremely strong survival instinct. So strong that people have to be under extreme physical or mental pain before they consider taking their own lives.

This is not an argument for procreation but against it. It adds to the absolute horror that is life.
I disagree but will likely get downvoted on HN as this communtiy does not really reflect the huge set of customers Apple is building these devices for. The Mac is for us. iDevices still for the most part target a broad swath of users (despite the pro moniker) and have to be easy to use and as secure as possible.

Offically suporting sideloading will lead to what we have on the Mac, an official app store that is barely used and compromises the security model and user experience for many major apps. If you give an official channel to bypass Apple policies people will use it for everything. A major part of the security model for example is a third-party (Apple) being able to nuke abusive apps. Also enforcing compliance with certain UI guidelines as the devices evolve keeps things very easy to use. Its possible to have some of the things for sideloaded apps but more difficult to control.
Wait, seriously?

The main (and to some people, only) point of laws is to protect people _from other people_, not from _themselves_.
And the fun part is that since WSL 2 it's no longer a Windows Subsystem, but just a Linux kernel in VM with some nice integrations with host Windows OS.
If you look at SF market history, you see mostly rapid growth with short term declines from peaks which are quickly erased.

Is there risk? Sure, but its hard to find a 5-10 year period where you lose even if you hit the bottom of one of the drops, which are usually only a year or two from the peak.
Man faces federal charges after leading 153 person hike in Grand Canyon
No it doesn't. The problem is that there aren't enough "people who are using the most" to make any substantial difference. This is the same flaw in the argument that we should fix inequality in America by just taking 90% of the billionaires' money: we'd run out of billionaires after only paying a few months' rent for everyone.
I don't have unlimited data either, but have found that streaming doesn't seem to use up all that much data. I think it's something like 100MB / hour.

No, anarcho-capitalist libertarians are against government (not just against bad government, but against any government). For example, Rothbard writes

"The idea of a strictly limited government has proved to be utopian; some other, more radical means must be found to prevent the growth of the aggressive State. The libertarian system would meet this problem by scrapping the entire notion of creating a government." (The Libertarian Manifesto)
> The idea of circular flow for materials and energy is not new, appearing as early as 1966 in the book by Kenneth E. Boulding, who explains that we should be in a "cyclical" system of production. For its part, the term "circular economy" appeared for the first time in 1988 in "The Economics of Natural Resources".

Good.
Apple has no right to demand that the entire world conform to their views on sexuality. That there has been a disagreement on this lasting this long is insane.
Why can't you static link against that libgtk_static target that already exists? That should be accessible if you have gtk as a meson subproject. It doesn't actually look like anything special needs to be done here.... I'll be commenting on that issue.

I believe that would normally be referred to as a classic.

Eh, I don't see opt-in as a bad compromise here either, it'd be one thing if they were trying to sell the data in some way, but there's beneficial information they're gaining from that data from a maintenance and UI design perspective.

Yes, there is some value in using C for teaching these concepts. But the problem I see is that, once taught, many people will then continue to use C and their hand written byte swapping functions, instead of moving on to languages with better abstraction facilities and/or availing themselves of the (as you point out) many available library implementations of this functionality.
Seriously Diane?

> They build spaceships, fight disease, and finance science.

Businesses used to pay taxes so the public could do all that.

Nowadays Amazon competes with local stores, while not paying taxes, which that local stores can't avoid.

So these billionaires, evil or not, are concentrating wealth on themselves and shape the world to their liking. And their linking isn't the best for society as a whole.

That doesn't mean that SpaceX isn't cool, or that I didn'tove when Amazon shipped science fiction books to my home, which was far away from any bookstore. But it is very clear that some companies have large negative externalities and their tax invasion and policy influence is really, really, really bad for our society.
These are all industry standard practices throughout the world. This is how the majority of meat is produced. If you find it abhorrent, then you find most animal products abhorrent.
I don't know, when we write in general, we tend to write the most significant stuff first so you lose less information if you stop early. Even numbers we truncate twelve millions instead of something like twelve millions, zero thousand zero hundreds and 0.
The metaverse point is sort of relevant, though. Epic has been trying to pin Apple down on their definition of a game. Apple says Roblox is permissible on the App Store, even though it's a user-generated content hub much like Fortnite.

This already has the same problems as #2, but worse;this already has uneven distribution from the beginning, even without deletions.
Perhaps it may be worth pointing this out: you mention that this creates a "perfect random distribution" but that "with only a few records the distribution is not as perfect". This is a misconception; this perceived imperfection, the clumps etc, that's what random points always look like. The size of the voronoi cells, which determine the probability of a point to be sampled, are of very different sizes here.
What you are thinking of is a random distribution of points where the points will have somewhat uniform distance to their neighbors. This is called blue noise. Creating scattered points with blue noise properties in 2d is not very complicated, but it is a bit more complicated than just combining two uniform random values. FWIW, uniform randomness does not even have blue noise properties in 1d, perhaps much more obviously.

Anyway, if you had this blue noise, whether 1d or 2d, would still not solve your problem; once you start deleting points, you lose your beautiful properties of uniform voronoi cell sizes and your back to square one.
Throwing some shade, I love it!

You're missing the point. I'm talking about a strategy for learning any new concept. Just because you're taught addition at age 5, doesn't mean learning calculus at age 15 is now easy. Is it a necessary abstraction to understand how to do higher math? Of course! But math education tends to focus on bottom up approach with rote exercises rather than teaching from an intuitive perspective first.

A good example is learning integrals. Another commenter mentioned they had been solving integrals for a year before understanding at all what their potential use was. Here's a formula, solve 20 problems. That's rote learning. That's not useful at all.

It doesn't matter the concept or discipline. If I give you simple explanations first, it will be faster for you to learn, versus starting with more complex ones. Otherwise there wouldn't be an art to teaching at all.

Your last comment is funny, because it implies a misunderstanding of what I'm saying. If you name X or Y, Speed or Acceleration, the math is exactly the same. There is no change in abstraction or takeaway in the education.

And it's different from comp sci how? I can change variable names arbitrarily in a program and behavior remains the same. I can explain a data structure to you via an easy to parse drawing and high level explanation, or I can show you a formula and say go at it. Same concepts, different teaching methods.

High school level math education is notoriously hated, for good reason. The fact that materials and practices are not entirely overhauled to make it easier for the average student, is just amazing to me. The focus by and large is not in making things relatable or intuitive at all. But there will always be people like you that defend a broken system to the death!
