I don't think you understand, friend. The airline market in Europe is like a whole different world of deregulated competition. For example: ryanair operates a scratch card gambling thing on all of their flights once they reach cruising altitude. Because this is considered similar to international waters, and Ireland's advantageous gambling laws can be observed. (as a result, they will do anything they can to fill seats. Planning to make up any loss on cheap tickets elsewhere. I'm talking bonkers shit, like flash sales on 99c tickets)

Assuming you don't get caught by every hidden charge along the way, an airplane ticket isn't going to cost you >$100, even if you spring for "business class".

I think insurance would make a better insurance policy in your case. (especially when the airline tries to rob you)
Israel very well could do something similar to get someone they wanted badly, but if they did it will it be greeted by a similar reaction?
Guess what? No one does or should care about your opinion of Apple’s software restrictions or corporate philosophy here.

As per the article, those visiting the comments were primarily interested in discussion about JIT performance, comparisons between ARM and x64 instruction sets, GameCube/Wii emulation, etc.

Instead, every single post on HN even tangentially involving Apple is taken over by these self-important haters and their mindless takes, which are often full of false assertions anyhow.

You are a platform war spammer and nothing more. It’s a shame the admins won’t put a stop to this, as it’s turning Hacker News into a vehement cesspool for discussion.
> All I see on HN are people who’ve somehow dismissed an entire new tech sector without even being curious about it.

If I found a new animal species that walked and talked but lived using photosynthesis, I'd be asking all sorts of questions. "Does it breathe? Does it need water? Why does it need sun to live?"

So here we are now asking a bunch of questions and seeking clarifications.

> At the very least, if you are on HN, I expect you to be curious about the technology and make up your mind after satiating that curiosity.

"No true scotsman"...People are being critical because they ARE curious about crypto. How do you expect people to "make up their mind" when "Most of the DeFi core projects were launched in 2019-2020". That's exactly the issue.
If anyone's wondering why this is interesting, I'll paste one excerpt from this very in-depth PDF:

> Developers of many of the early electric vehicle powertrains have attempted to integrate “off-the-shelf” or “best available” battery systems, motors, and power electronics as opposed to purpose-built or optimized systems. Areas where [Medium- and Heavy-duty Vehicle (MHDV)] electrification has made market progress are specialized applications such as transit buses,where other factors such as emissions and noise are also important and federal or state funding is available to incentivize zero-emissions technology. While technology advancement in [Light Duty] vehicles can often benefit the MHDV market, key differences have resulted in R&D gaps that are limiting the electrification of commercial vehicles.

The Citroën Ami is a no permit car, so it is a bit specific and probably won't be used by people who need a car to travel between cities.

The Renault Zoe is a "normal" car and fit the bill for a more "simple" electric car. They now have the Twingo Electric also which is the size of a usual twingo (roughly like a Citroën C1/Peugeot 107) and cheaper than the Zoe.
I love “Types and Programming Languages” by Benjamin Pierce and always recommend it for people who want to dip their toes into formal type theory. To me it’s basically the K&R for type theory.
> The range reduction is small, within the warranty (like with Tesla).

Very much like self-driving. The marketing people (Elon) say it's self-driving. The legal people say it's driver assist.

It means that the CCP knew about it, yet refused to admit or acknowledge it. They should have immediately shut down borders and informed other countries.
Protasevich was tracked in many countries before he entered this plane, tracked by someone doing that very professionally engaging a lot of resources. It is hard to imagine Belarus was doing this alone, without Russia support.
Like this, I would really support this. However, Apple would probably point out the Third World countries might have more obsolete devices coupled with more oppressive governments and that puts them at more risk or something.

> But they advertise the iPad as a computer, and yet their software restrictions make it a portable TV.

That's not at all true. It's not useful for some subset of what certain geeks want to use it for. It's very useful for all the other things a highly portable computer hooked up to a bunch of really cool sensors and a very capable peripherals ecosystem is.

Ordinarily I'm all for arguments that we, as an industry (software developers, that is) are laughable failures, but I don't think we've failed so badly that computers are useless if you can't—for any reason, including personal inability or lack of interest—run (e.g.) Python on them.

Trying to find a file you know the name of in finder is absolute murder. I often find myself resorting to `ls | grep` then `open` in the terminal.
You can actually just goto your home folder. Goto Finder>Preferences, then Sidebar, you'll find your home folder is stashed away in there but not checked. It'll just be your username.

You can also unhide hidden dot folders as well if you wish but by default those are hidden. I don't have the instructions for that right now but a google search can find it for you if you want it.
Command-up arrow moves up a directory level. Command-down arrow makes a logical choice for moving down a directory level, and since moving down a directory is the same as opening that directory, it follows command down would also open a file.

Whether renaming as “enter” is a good shortcut or not, I think the navigation ones are perfectly reasonable in that if you learn one of them, it’s opposite is easily guessed.
I've written a couple tools that default to dry run and require `--yes-actually-delete` and similar, but I can't think of any publicly available tools that follow this pattern - anybody have suggestions?
This is not the rose-colored answer you might be looking for, but contrary to popular belief (which usually start with Henry Ford) a lot of modern day “management techniques” were actually invented at slavery plantations [1]

- Empire of Cotton (Sven Beckert)

- Nature’s Metropolis (Cronon)

> if you use LuaJIT you can use zero based indices and a powerful FFI

Not entirely, Lua standard libraries still expect everything to be one-indexed, while FFI structures are zero indexed. So with LuaJIT you often end up with a mix of 0 and 1 indexed code, which in my experience was workable but definitely a pain point.
If it does turn out to be a lab leak, the simpleton answer would be to just blame China and that would be extremely dangerous. They are not alone in the world of virus studies and lab leaks.

As for what difference would it make, I would hope in a rational world, it would change the culture that allows these lab leaks to happen throughout the world. We need to take this more seriously and better question the purpose of some of these studies and allow rigorous international monitoring.

If we can accept a combined human guilt and take steps to never allow it to happen again, we might be able to eliminate lab leaks.

Unfortunately, the world will probably just blame China and there will be fallout.

I think what the CountThings app is doing is great. There are too many industries where tasks are being performed inefficiently due to a lack of applying readily available technology. They had the foresight to develop a product for a very common problem and make a business out of it.

I’m a bit surprised that this is making the rounds of HN though. OpenCV and other computer vision libraries have trivialized such counting applications for decades now. ML isn’t really necessary.

The watershed algorithm for example, comes built-in and allows segmentation which can then be followed up with blob counting: http://www.cmm.mines-paristech.fr/~beucher/wtshed.html

I don’t want to diminish OP’s work since the product seems to be well-developed and respond to a real need. I guess the challenge must have been making the app robust enough to support different workloads, lighting conditions, etc. I suppose the novelty factor is seeing to what extent the technology that we as developers and engineers work on every day is often disconnected from practical application.
Pearl vary in size a lot; they can easily double in diameter, ie. possibly x 8 in weight. Weighting could be valuable, in addition to counting and measuring how round and shiny they are — but it would be the 4th or 5th more important aspect, at most.

Apologies for a comment all over the place but you triggered the philosopher in me. :)

---

Buddhism can very easily be made an analogy with programming and book writing:

"You have the perfect program not when you cannot add anything more to it but when you cannot take anything more away from it."

Their core philosophy basically is: let go, don't hold on to things, don't pile things up (no matter what type). It very often boils down to "find your true self, unburdened with many things you attached to yourself as you grew up". So at the core is the concept that you should minimize your persona until you cannot minimize it further.

I dig that a lot and I am seeing it as an universal principle in all areas of life. And it doesn't mean to "remove" your core traits. It means remove everything that isn't actually you. How do we find these things? Well, it's a lifetime journey but there are good ways to do it.

(This also reminded me of property-based testing where the testing framework is always shrinking a case that failed your tests until it finds the minimum value that can reproduce the failing test.)

---

> It's a contradiction like many Buddhist teachings. By embracing suffering, you somehow avoid it.

Nothing contradictory about it. It seems that Buddhism (and other systems of belief) postulate that one of the traits of our Universe is: if you are not afraid of X, then X will be hitting you less. Kind of like school bullies, I guess?

Sure, all of that is pretty abstract and philosophical. But as we go through life, we do start spotting patterns. The fact that they don't have a nice tidy name in Wikipedia doesn't devalue them.

I sometimes write about food choices on the blog: https://victorrotariu.com/
and on medium: https://victorrotariu.medium.com/

But I can sum them up:
No sugar (e.g. sucrose), ever. This includes honey, fruits, sugar hidden in non-sweet foods. The problem I consider is the fructose in sugar, not the glucose
No hydrogenated oils, e.g. transfats
No seed oils, e.g. PUFA, e.g. rapeseed, sunflower, corn.
No cereals, e.g. wheat. For cereals I am not 100% sure they are detrimental to me, rather that there is good chance
No alcohol
No nitrites

Lots of meat
Lots of saturated fat
16h+ fasting daily (e.g. no breakfast)
95%+ of meals are cooked
But any credible Western source has confirmed the same? For example any of the passengers or the pilots have vouched that the airliner was escorted by military aircraft?
The picture in the bottom of the article shows that varying sizes of pearls need to be counted at the same time, making using weight very unreliable.

Even if only similar size pearls are allowed, small variations multiplied by a large amount of pearls can cause issues, such as distinguishing 100 pearls of 99 grams each from 99 pearls of 100 grams each.

No the issue on ios isn't that W^X is enforced, its that you can't mark a page that was writable as executable (whereas W^X just implies that a page can't be both writable and executable at the same time). Firefox has been W^X compliant by default since 2016 as its considered more secure in general.
I'd also be interested in hearing what UX gripes your audience has, and am surprised to hear you praise Slack, which has lately become the just-good-enough-to-not-be-bad slow and bloated default.
we ended up in such situation because there are usually no consequences of governments doing bad to their citizens. UN is a joke. All sanctions are applied only against Russia, but for any other case/country what governments are usually doing are cheap words: "condemning/concerned/we are deeply ..." that's all.

There is no consensus inside UN on what is good and what is bad for people, countries have veto rights, which shouldn't exist if there were clear guidelines on what is allowed and what is not. Please show us some real actions and make authoritarian regimes feel pain for doing harm. Shutdown all the incoming and outgoing flights to/from Belarus, including transits and goods.

I'm definitely a little annoyed they don't bundle the extension cables with the MacBooks anymore. It feels like nickel-and-diming. That being said, MacBook displays do have antireflective coating, though it's been known to wear off historically. They have been pretty good about replacing it though.

As for RAM, you can get 13" MacBook Pros with 32GB of RAM and 16" MacBook Pros with 64GB of RAM, and if that's not enough you're probably not going to have the easiest time finding options with more from other manufacturers, especially in a form factor that isn't a gigantic brick.

Well no. This is a "no permit" car. It is a type of car that you can drive without a driving license in France (you just need to pass the written exam). These are always very small (due to their nature), and are actually quite popular, mostly in city. Either because they are used by people who lost their driving license but still need a car in the meantime, or they are used by people who live in the city and don't want to bother getting their driving license (which is much more expensive and time-consuming in France than in the U.S).
For me, that would be fine. But, how is that going to work for people in apartments, jobs that commute a lot (e.g. delivery drivers), people traveling, etc? There are a lot of situations like this. What’s their experience going to be like?

Belarus aside, which ones? Because I can't think of any.

Seriously, it's been over thirty years since the end of Cold War and people still think there are some eastern European states associated with Russia... Almost all of them are in the EU now with the notable exception of Ukraine which is in a state of de facto war with Russia. Even Lukashenko has a bitter-sweet relationship with Putin.
This Dolphin article is literally about making a performant JIT run on an OS that is, among other things, strictly W^X :)

> arguments about third party browser security on iOS

Well, W^X is just one mitigation technique. But also, the "security" arguments have always been kinda dubious. I don't think there's that much difference (at least philosophically) between an interpreter bug causing arbitrary crap to happen inside your app's sandbox and a JIT bug doing the same.
> do not come with glare-free screens

Do you mean that you want a matte screen? If not, Mac screens are generally among the brightest on the market and have very good anti-reflective coatings. Almost any competing laptop in the same price bracket is likely to have a lower quality screen.

I would love to see a post like this that depicts all the ways you can install on Windows, macOS & Linux (as both a consumer & developer). The DMG experience is a little off as the author suggests & the App store is super easy (as are shared purchases). I briefly set up a Mac mini to use Ubuntu & Mint and found Snap and other ways of installing much more cumbersome; especially when I installed something and wanted an app shortcut to appear in a specific menu (sounds simple but was inconsistent). I’m not that familiar with Windows these days, but is downloading an .exe that different from a .dmg? Is the Windows store as easy as the App Store? Or are there particular apps’ websites that don’t do a great job explaining how to install their software?
Ah I see. The iOS restriction makes sense, even though it's more aggressive.
So now I am promoted to "Google support team" just because I bought to the discussion some observations from my own company? But you bringing your own observations does not put you on "Apple support team"? This seems completely fair /s.

Well, my point in the end is that even with all the issues that you pointed (some are true, some we didn't hit because we don't use those features), we still see more issues on iOS even when they're a smaller portion of our user base.

Heck, even if we got the most problematic Android phones for us (Asus budget phones comes to my mind), it is still has less issues than iOS.
Not quite the same, but apt commands like apt-get require user interaction to confirm what you are about to do, unless you explicitly add a "-y" / "--yes" to the command.
Oh sorry, I didn't realize that.
It doesn't work like that. People fall into different categories for different sorts of product. For some things I'm in the earliest of markets. For some things, I'm in the latest. For cars, I am definitely a mainstream purchaser.

Note also that Moore's model is specifically about adoption of technology. There are plenty of other dimensions to markets, especially ones where the technology is mature. I think you're talking about people who tend to optimize for initial low price, and are insensitive to other concerns. Which again, people vary on based on product and need. E.g., I have a Pixel 3A because it was good value without junkware and other corner-cutting. But my headphones are the <$20 semi-disposable kind.

It is getting harder and harder to find consumer electronic products that don't regularly phone home to their manufacturers for marching orders. When I buy X, I expect X to function as it does for the life of the product. I don't want the manufacturer to suddenly decide to change the UI because one of their designers wants to put something in their portfolio. I don't want the manufacturer to suddenly decide to take away a feature because they just made a business agreement with some other company to do so. I don't want the manufacturer to collect usage analytics and use me in their A/B test experiments. I don't want to have to have an account on the manufacturer's cloud service. In fact, I don't want to have any kind of "relationship" with that company beyond the fact that I walked into a store and purchased a product with their name on it. I just want a product--I don't want the manufacturer to be an ongoing part of my life!

>If you do that, guess what Fortnite would do right now. Guess what Facebook would do to get around Apple’s privacy restrictions right now. Guess what a ex-boyfriend would do right now to install a blocked spying app.

I guess I don't get your point, if a user wants to sideload fortnite or facebook, good for them? If an ex-boyfriend has your phone and your password you've probably got bigger issues than whether or not he can click a button to sideload an app.

>I do get the Apple Store one more, but as history has shown, people literally go to the Apple store to get iCloud theft locks removed by impersonating the owner and faking receipts.

I still don't follow your point, what on earth does that have to do with someone being allowed to use their phone how they want? You think someone is going to steal your phone, go to an Apple store and pretend to be you to have sideload enabled, then return the phone to you? I'm not saying it would be impossible for that to happen, but I would say: why would ANYONE go to that trouble? If this is another "well ex-boyfriend" issue you're talking about 1/10th of 1% of all users in existence. I don't think that should be the demographic with which we base all of the decisions on what an iphone can and can't do...
I think that chargers will be default in homes.

The idea of a gas station likely will just fade away. We have fuel stations because the infrastructure to deliver gasoline to everybody’s home is unrealistically complicated.

But the delivery infrastructure for electricity is largely already there. You just need to install the equivalent of a “pump”.

(Coincidentally there are some guys at my house installing one of those “pumps” today!)
