Is there mention of this in any of the dialogs that one is asked to click "I have read and understand" that were not actually read? I remember Photos telling me that it was scanning the library to do their new layout after whatever update that was. That was to that specific app, and not a system wide notification, but it also said it would be paused until it was plugged in.

I could see a new something in the Settings that indicates post-OS upgrade showing migration status being useful.
Copy a .c file to an executable is definitely not ok, normally you'd call the compiler here.

It only works because it is a very special c file.
Humility is extremely important. As a senior developer with over 15 years of experience, I'm tired of being lectured by junior developers with 5 years experience about things which I know to be incorrect because I used to think the same way but have since learned better.

If I try to tell people that some approach x is incorrect in this particular case because of reason y, they think I must be a dinosaur because all the articles they read online indicate that approach x is popular and therefore I must be wrong and lazy... As if I had been twiddling my thumbs for the past 15 years, when in fact I've been working non-stop nights, weekends, day job, open source side projects etc...

It's infuriating. I don't know what to say. Nowadays if I encounter such junior dev, I don't even try to start to correct them. Nothing can be done. We have reached peak intellect and things are going down. People will simply get dumber, unsophisticated black-and-white thinking will become more pervasive and I need to learn to live with that; sit quietly in meetings, smile, nod and cash my paycheck.

It would be nice to have a paragraph or two explaining what it does an example output. I can't imagine a lot of people are going to go through the effort of building the source code just to see what it does. Or read all of the documentation.

Based on what I managed to find in the documentation, it looks like the only thing it does is mislabel a cactus as a cat. Hopefully it's just a bad example. But I'm sure I speak for a lot of people in that I'd like to see more about what it can do before investing any time into it.
To be fair, if it was that important to the rest of the residents, they could have bought him out, or offered up an alternate location for the DSLAM.
Granted, I appreciate them explaining and properly disclosing it. So to be clear my criticism isn't Dropbox specific but this also goes for other cloud storage providers. That said just because others do the same (or even worse) doesn't make it any better. The loss of privacy and rights is one of the biggest issues in tech these days. I wouldn't even be that opposed to it if the business model would at least recognize the users as content creators and pay them for the value they add, but the way it is now we provide all the value and the shareholders reap the rewards. Humans have become a commodity, like cattle. Our private data is the milk, and they're milking us dry like no tomorrow.
I had a pretty good buddy who was a retired helicopter pilot in the Marines, and he, many times, told me there are 4 groups of helicopter pilots that most people fit into. I think that there are strong parallels in software dev (and other fields!) and it might be useful to chat about here. One thing to note is that through training people can move between these categories, nothing is permanent. I think if you look at any of these groups from the perspective of "would I hire this person?" the answer is a "yes, but..." where we need to be very aware of the person's limitations and groupings

1. Pilots who are good and they know it. These are people who are naturally good pilots: memorizing the checklists, failure states, what to do in bad conditions, etc come very naturally to these people and they don't need a lot of training or hand holding. Generally great to work with unless they are cocky.

2. Pilots who are good and they don't know it. Pilots in this category have everything going on from the first category, except they don't realize how good they are. Often times, these can be the best pilots to work with, because they stick to all the checklists, procedures, manuals, policies, and so on, because they know that they might not know what they are doing, and on top of that they can shine in tough situations because they are in fact good pilots. These pilots are great because it's very rare to get one with a lot of ego.

3. Pilots who are bad and they know it. These are people who are aware that they are not naturally strong pilots, and their awareness leads them to following checklists, spending lots of time reading manuals, procedures, policies, to a T. In most situations, these are very good pilots to work with because they are aware of their own limitations although they may need more training for bad situations. Again, there is often very little ego here. I think this is the level of awareness that we're seeing in the OP here.

4. Pilots who are bad and they don't know it. This is the worst group of pilots to work with, but they can be fixed with training and guidance from senior pilots. Often times if you asked a pilot in this group, which group they fit into, they would tell you they fall into the "good and know it group", but they're wrong: they might be skipping checklist items, missing key policies, or just generally be a bad team mate. I would liken this to a junior or mid level dev who thinks they know everything. Often times there can be a lot of ego in this group
Except it's not that easy. Web developers have been trying to remove user choice all the time - disabling right-click menus, preventing copying on websites, forcing the page to look blank unless you turn JavaScript on - and yet it's fairly easy to get around most of this using extensions.

That's because how websites display information in the browser is pretty standardised. Before the Canvas element, your choice was basically HTML/CSS or nothing (unless you did something incredibly strange like rendering output to a data:image/png URL and updating an image tag with it).

The Canvas element, on the other hand, doesn't force a standard way of displaying information. It's essentially your dynamic data:image/png render output method on steroids, and users can't even use it unless they have JavaScript on. As it is, many sites are still usable even without JavaScript, including Hacker News.

Using Canvas means no user choice by default.

Plus, I have so many more responsibilities taking my attention combined with not having the energy of youth that I simply don't have the ability to care about anything above the very most important things.

> It’s just true that data structures change over time

Sure, but it seems only 1 of the OS's takes this long to be fully usable post-update. Why is that? Does Android not ever have to change data structures and if so, why doesn't it take their OS 24-48 hours of post-processing to finish the update? You find this acceptable?
I honestly believe they WILL implement copy paste...

It has to be decrypted at some point to be viewable, so if you have system administrator access to the OS and device your browser is running on, someone will figure out how to identify which pixels and which audio bits are ads and block them from making it to the frame buffer (and whatever the equivalent is for a sound card). Where there's a will there's a way. There has just not been a need for that yet.

It's just an arms race, and the makers of uBlock Origin will need to level up and figure out how to do some serious computer vision and heuristic anomaly detection.

Flutter for web is not ready and flutter devs seriously should remove those demos because it's ruining reputation of Flutter for Android, iOS and Desktop which is absolutely a delight to work with. I never developed apps for mobile being a backend developer but now I have developed few in record time. Flutter for mobile is amazing and it's going to change the game.

I am not really sure about Flutter for web though.

What a great tool. I've been reading articles of theirs for the past couple of days. Makes it easy to spot outlier topics and less obvious relations (like ‘primary domains’ vs ‘other domains’).

I think it's the first time I'm actually enjoying navigating information in this way. Perhaps it's because the encyclopedia is already very structured (and the nature of the topics).

I didn't count, but the story stream that I saw seemed roughly balanced between pro and anti RMS. There certainly wasn't a strong skew.

Your feeling that it was unbalanced is another example of the bias I'm talking about. Both sides over-weight the datapoints they dislike and under-weight (or simply don't notice) the ones they approve of, so both sides end up with a feeling of unjust imbalance. This is what I mean by false feelings of generality.

Let's start with accessibility, because this is a field I am forced to be an expert in. Native "binary blobs" have access to the operating system accessibility APIs, and consequently any native app is a lot more likely to be accessible out of the box than something rendered to a canvas. People have spent literally decades building out APIs for the native platforms [0] [1] [2].

To think that a native app is equivalent to a canvas-rendered app is to not understand either.

You can ditch the off-screen rendered pages but you are still stuck with the entire 1000-page data structure. Should your current line be on page 997 or 998? You have to calculate the size of every line of every page to answer that.

Having a rule that banks need to agree on one and then implement it would be fine. What is not fine is allowing each bank to come up with their own, especially as banks have no interest of making usage of their API easy.

Crazy idea: don't store hydrogen as a liquid but as a gas. Hydrogen is lighter than air, so you've just reduced the fuel requirements by making the semi lighter than it otherwise would be.

Or just go to the logical conclusion: make semis blimps that use hydrogen to both float and as a fuel source.

>Care about our national housing shortage? In nearly every city there exists a small angry mob that works to block every development project, and this job tends to be loudest and angriest about middle to low income housing and apartments. If you want that to change, the single best thing you can do is show up to local meetings and say “I support this apartment building.” Even better if you can mobilize a few friends. You would be shocked at how little it takes to have a big influence.

The flip side of this is that building middle- to low-income housing shouldn't be much of a thing. If there were enough development, the low-to-middle income housing would be the small units with the bad views and the laminate counters and no dishwasher and creaky floors, which is to say the older stuff that wasn't seriously maintained. Constrain supply and new construction enough, and all that stuff is intensely maintained because building new is not an option.
What guarantees do you have that insects don't possess intelligence we aren't able to measure? E.g. how do you know that locust don't have higher cognitive functions. For example bees can count, disbelieve each other and are great spatial navigator.
Virtual DOM is already a thing. I'm sure canvas has a ton of advantages, but memory management isn't one of them.
The major problem I have with electron apps is that they eat memory for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

This happens with jvm applications as well, but you can limit the max heap size and force the garbage collector to work more, trading off speed for the ability to run more apps side by side.

AFAIK, you can't limit the memory used in electron apps, and they don't respond by sharing heap with their child processes. With enough extensions to make it usable, vscode easily eats GB of memory.

I like lsp. But I don't need vscode to do the rendering.

Historical: Except in those cases most printed money went to banks, buying their bad loans. Which had already affected house prices by 2008, and only affected asset and commodity prices, which did rise in price since 2008.

This time round you have more and more stimulus going to ordinary people, who will spend it on ordinary goods like food. That will create a different type of inflation.

(I’m not endorsing either type of bailout/stimulus btw)
Since the aggregator will process sensitive data, you need a lot of audits etc.

If you'd like to use the API to access your own account using open source software, good luck (unless you find an aggregator that is certified and allows you to access your own account through them).
I think it’s low because in the beginning no one could get tested for COVID.

I had an illness back in March 2020 that knocked me out for 2 weeks. Could have been COVID but my state had 0 available test kits so no one can confirm it. February 2021, I’m I’ll again for 2 week. This time it’s confirmed COVID.

If we expect immunity to only last about 12 months, then it could have been reinfection especially considering by 2021 there were 4 more strains to get.
Everybody get prepared for the predictable onslaught of Hackernews purists who are all about to faint after reading that CSS has become the next prey of the devil - Javascript.

Nevermind that humanity has experienced a quantum leap in productivity and e-commerce that has given generations of entrepreneurs wealth and every consumer on the planet unprecedented quality of life thanks to the Web, and that Web being made possible precisely because the developer-friendly, move fast and break things route that Javascript has taken from day one.

But because there is a new Javascript framework coming out every day (I'm surprised competition is seen in a negative light, on HN out of all places), because it's easy to learn (and we all like to gatekeep a bit, don't we?) and because it's not a "real" language (since you cannot shoot yourself in the foot with a use-after-free), Javascript has become the prime target of ivory tower grumbling.
Inflation is just a different way of saying high demand. The question is will that demand persist or will the supply side start expanding?
The web can do programmatic, interactive systems very well. In my opinion, it does it much much better than applications. And it should be doing it. (Alas, a huge huge huge amount of web applications don't espouse the virtues of the web, don't use url based routing, don't have good service worker caching, & countless other horrific faults. I continue to see that as not the web's fault but I think there's a lot of room for opinions on this, at least.)

But interactive web systems shouldn't regress to the hostile, anti-user, anti-extensibility stance of an application. It should continue to offer the upsides of being the web.
Aren't we in a Mighty exciting time!
They could... except:

a) It would be completely inaccessible to blind users;

b) Sometimes devs want to be able to give users some choice, like copying text, and this is impossible with your proposed method.

These two reasons alone mean it's undesirable for devs to use these, and they're problems that Canvas addresses - albeit by letting the devs have that choice, but not the users.

The general counter-argument to this position is that it assumes over-consumption to be ok. In other words, saying "X put Y tons of CO2 in the air, they must pay for carbon offsets" doesn't necessarily disincentivize the CO2 to be put out in the first place (meaning there's no downward pressure to reduce consumption of other ancillary resources, e.g. oil extraction, metal mines, etc)

Case in point: bottled water costs a fortune compared to the equivalent amount of tap water (despite being basically the same or worse quality in many cases) and yet people are more than happy to pay the premium. The CA surtax on plastic bottles is but a blip on the radar for most consumers there.

It's similar to the discussion about how one side says having recycling programs makes over-consumption forgivable, but in practice, everything breaks down because manufacturers meld different recyclable materials together in such a way that makes the package unrecycleable, or use plastic types that cannot be sold by recyclers due to low demand, or consumers contaminate their trash, etc, and we just end up trucking mountains and mountains of unusable bales of materials to landfills somewhere instead.
