For the little it’s worth: cars are mostly computer now.

I come from a family of mechanics, my grandfather lamented new cars and their electronics because it’s harder to repair, he doesn’t try to understand the reason why, just that it’s harder now because the manufacturers “did it to him” to prevent third party repairs.

You can argue that the electronics are to prevent cheaper repairs, but there is another truth there: the ECU is an almost required component for decent fuel efficiency.
Just to clarify, we're on the same page here - with "there" i meant "on Amazon"...
I’m surprised fragmentation isn’t mentioned.

With multiple app stores, developers may not release to the Apple app store any more. Causing users to either use other app stores or miss out on apps that would previously been in the Apple store.

Causing them to be forced to evaluate the trustworthiness of each new app store they have to use.

Which will inevitably lead to some less tech savvy users having their information phished out from their phones.

Personally, it sounds like a hassle to me. I’m a big fan of the walled garden approach because I have zero desire to evaluate app store’s credibility and don’t feel I’m missing out on anything that could be side loaded, but then again, I only use my phone for communication, dating, photos, craigslist, and hackernews lately.
Well said. There is too much being made about how difficult and expensive it is to bring up kids... and sometimes by people who spend thousands on their pets!
Equating alternative app stores to literal drug dealers.

I don't think I even need to say anything to point out how bad of an argument it is.
Definitely. My camera is "only" from 2016 (an Olympus EM-5 II), but the video on it is absolutely subpar by current standards and I'd want to get something newer if I did more video. I also find that the autofocus tracking on swiftly moving objects (e.g. birds) isn't as good as it could be.
More accurate title, just in interest of facts:

> One Mac repair shop's fight to repair Macs.

Apple can do a lot to make their hardware more repairable. But also I've seen Rossman outright demand their hardware changes just so it's easier to repair, without regard to things like weight, water resistance, and overall UX.
Most software development isn't very creative either. It's mostly CRUD apps for boring business processes.

> GPL licenses forces some sort of non-monetary compensation in the form of contributions, and thus, the corp cannot extract and retain the full value of the software

No, this is false.

- You can use a GPL library without making changes and contributing anything upstream

- You can use a GPL library internally and make changes without contributing anything upstream

- You can use a GPL library, make changes and distribute it to 3rd parties and, only in that case, you simply have to share the changes with the 3rd parties. [Not with upstream]
That sounds like something a class action law suit waiting to happen.
> The hot girl at a party ...

I always say drugs dealer, homeless person, language teacher to camels or internet millionaire. Or whatever I feel like really. Or at least, 10 years ago (long-term relationship).

Rationale of the first 2: replace the frame with something ridiculous/lower status. Keep disqualifying yourself to the absurd. Example: selling rainbow pills to little blue smurfs as a drugs dealer? What’s in the rainbow pill she asks? Now you steered the conversation clear of a serious answer and you are now in control of it with a playful frame!

Rationale of number 3: immediately go to fantasy land. If she doesn’t immediately want to go with you, then she likely does not have a high openness to experience (or having a bad day). For me, at times, that was a strict selection criterion.

Rationale of number four: see if she believes you, how she responds to status and how she responds to you trolling her a bit :P

Common theme here is setting the frame to play. I would say anything, as long as I felt I was playing and non-verbally communicating that. Some were quick witted back. Others roasted me so hard that we were exploring how roasted I could be, lol. It’s all fun.

That’s what I would do, and did, and had too much fun with (too much fun == the girl is into you but you’re having such a good time joking around that you can’t stop and it all becomes platonic because you couldn’t care less about seducing her — and vice versa — and you don’t care because you and her are laughing the whole time).

Also works the other way around. Playfulness is a fundamental element of meeting someone romantically regardless of gender, IMO. I’d also say it’s fundamental to friendships. It doesn’t have to be this ridiculous though :P
I have a machine exposed to the net on an "obscure" port, with fail2ban running on it.

In ... 5-8 years, I haven't had a single hit other than me mistyping a password. I understand the issues around doing this, but I'm actually shocked at how little (zero) incursion attempts it gets.

I should also note that since this is a personal machine, I also have entire countries blocked by CIDRs. I also do this for my wife's company's retail presence, and blocking the big 4 (China, Russia, Iran, NK) at a CIDR level stopped something like 98% of the brute force ssh attempts (the vast, vast majority of those from China).

I know it's not foolproof, and I may get some false positive blocks, but she doesn't have a business that needs to allow people from those countries.
> chances are that opinion is solely based on how easy/cheap it is to repair.

When your mechanic says don't buy a car with a specific motor... You might just want to listen.
>Ebay doesn't handle this well in the US either. I would love to use ebay as a junkyard metasearch engine.

But you can find people who scavenge junkyards and are listed as sellers on eBay who do sell used bench grinder (maybe after restoring them!?), Induction motors, industrial brushless motors etc... In India even that is also not easy to find.

If you are into BitClout (what, what's BitClout?) try a cli client. BitClout is the new social media app that has no central authority. Based on BTC every profile is a coin. There are lots of clients but this is a CLI one I've been hacking on. Anyone else find this useful or their preferred way to consume the data? I like rarely leaving terminal and doing a `./clout ls` throughout my day when I need a social media break!
If the majority treated meat as a luxury, a weekly delicacy instead of daily staple for example, no one would have to give up meat if they didn’t want to and could afford to buy it.
It can be easier to just go zero, but if a person tries and fails and gives up, that’s not helpful. How much protein do I need each day if I’m not running marathons or doing heavy labor? There are other sources of protein out there. We like tempeh (beans in a mycelium matrix), tofu, legumes, eggs (still impactful, but not beef), nuts and seeds, whole-wheat and rye flour in sourdough, in addition to small amounts of animal meat. I’m insect-curious at this point. Anything else you recommend?
Apple's lawyers screwed up, big time. It is unimaginable that a party to a lawsuit would tell the judge, "You and I have a different view." OMG. Better go in the hall right there and then, Timmy, because the person holding the "different view" is deciding your case. There are dozens of other ways to get your point across without openly disagreeing with the judge. Apple is toast.
> If you're running HAProxy on AWS, be sure your AWS firewall rules are stateless, otherwise you may well run into the unpublished connection tracking limits.

This.

I got bit by this the other day, a bunch of servers were having very low CPU usage but new connections to them were failing. Turns out it was because they were hitting the conntrack limit. Changing the security group rules to allow all from all "fixed" it.

Although after a quick test, I think there's another limit, also unpublished, as I still can't establish as many connections as I want on a smaller instance – same number of requests on fewer connections works, and also a bigger instance works with many connections. In every case, the CPU was largely unused.

Disregarding the practical aspects and all nostalgia: All that unburnt fuel and oil vapor from the 2 stroke was a major ecological and health hazard and I‘m glad they‘re long gone.

Every time a Trabbi Safari passes by me around Checkpoint Charlie, the smell makes me almost want to puke instantly.

I can‘t even imagine by now how East Berlin must have smelled 40 years ago and what toll it must have taken on the health of residents.
> If I want to borrow 100k to refit the kitchen in my restaurant, can I do that with cryptocurrency

If you have a large crypto portfolio (which many do) to use as collateral, you absolutely can do this.
Unfortunately PK takers are human too so they can get psych'd out by the goalkeeper who steps towards them to delay the time to take the PK. Probably a more important stat is how many PKs are scored the longer the ball sits on the penalty circle? As the feeling is that the longer it is the more likely the PK taker will bottle it and hit it over the bar.
This is so true.

It’s especially true when a dance floor is crowded or it’s harder to listen to the music. It’s harder to "cut loose" if one or two restrictions are going on.

For dancing, a couple things helped me out. Repetition and practice. Practicing whole movements together, e.g. footwork with the lead, there is a strong relationship between footwork and your ability to gently exert force and direction. Sure I learned a tuck turn to counts, but I never think about the count of it when leading it, it is engrained into the overall movement I want to execute.

There’s an interesting phenomenon that happens at dance events with a heavy teaching component. The first night of dancing is pretty good and when lessons go underway the level of the room slightly drops because people are trying new things. Incorporating new things would do that and it happens, albeit awkwardly.

As a user, I actually like Apple devices and iOS much better than Android, but I also want them to be more open. I want to install browser extensions freely and I want that the app distribution (quasi) duopoly gets broken. I also want full control over my phone's network activity.

Apple needs to be forced to enable alternative app stores, like Microsoft got forced to offer alternative browsers, because they will never do it on their own.

Since these issues are increasingly covered in the media and people are waking up to these issues, I am optimistic that things will change for the better in the near future.
Either Fujitsu or Hitachi's VOS3. Amdahl's OSes seem to have disappeared off the earth. There's just no good, legal mainframe OSes available for potential enthusiasts.

pretty cool. The coolest idea I've seen recently with competition to substack is https://subclout.com/ where they almost cloned substack, down to the UI, but it runs on the clout system.
Parts of modern scala, maybe. The community used to be pretty bifurcated between those things you suggest, and the adamant academics over type theory so militant that it didn't even seem they cared if you could actually build something.
Beginning to think the reason security is so difficult is because ostensibly "good" companies do everything an attacker does and worse, but under the guise of EULAs.

Here's a thought experiement: If Facebook were malware, could you get rid of it?
That's the same trash Google does with Android and it's effectively as anti-competitive. They shouldn't be permitted to limit competition at all. In any way.
PWAs and web based push notifications only benefit Google?
This will not happen as long as Apple's cut percentage is lower than the percentage of users that will give up or not download the app when asked for their credit card in-app.

Obviously any reasonable Apple's cut will satisfy this requirement.

> ...another way is to have one party win and be accountable, knowing that they will be replaced if they don't perform.

Which brings us right back to TFA, with the govenor attempting to avoid accountability through what amounts to barefaced lies. If tactics like this are successful - and they seem to be unreasonably effective - then your alternative here will not come to pass.
There's a large amount of range land which is impractical for farming. However, it is suited for grazing. It was used for bison before domestic cattle.

If we conclude that bovine grazing is harmful, should we conclude that exterminating the American bison was green?
That's a wonderful video. What a talent. Reminded me of a product I read about a while ago - https://www.bernell.com/product/STROBE/Vision_Therapy_BestSe... - the glasses flicker between clear and not so you learn to interpret the motion of the ball rather than relying on vision alone. Very cool!
Hi! And thanks :) I think I will likely need to add subscriptions etc if I see that it is requested. But for now I want to keep it simple :)
Pretending to be ignorant of what is obvious to hold onto your power/money is pretty close to evil. If he believes customers genuinely value his curated app store, let him show us.
Sidenote: unless you think you can get really, REALLY popular, you won't hit a CDN-deserving load.

My own homepage/blog is hosted on a cheap 100mbps box on OVH (the server has 16gb of RAM but the CPU is from ~10 years ago or so); I use self-hosted Ghost with a caching nginx reverse proxy. Cache expiration is around 30 minutes (I think). The price for such box is around 20 EUR/month for the whole server.

In order to crash such an instance I'd need an insane amount (of course now that I need the hard numbers I cannot find the log I had dumped at the time with Locust) of simultaneous users - something that never got close to happening, not even in those couple of times where I reached the frontpage on HN. My best posts got the box/bandwidth at around 1% the load that was needed to start dropping a significant number of requests.

Don't optimize for the problems you wish you had.
What’s your argument here, that the GP is lying or that their grandmother wanted the malware or something else?

I find it very easy to believe that some malware vendor managed to trick someone into enabling things in settings. I would also believe that malware was just sitting in the play store[1] and available to install the normal way.

[1] same goes for the App Store.
I associate general consumers who don’t repair things and instead purchase to replace with the poor. It is a matter of the ability to command of labor. Repairing is cheaper. The loss of the ability to do so is the loss of the ability to command labor. So yes, perhaps in 20 years when manufacturing practices are so common as to relinquish control from the purchaser everyone will be all the more poor, because the idea that the common man be able to flourish is becoming antiquated.

Right. we are saying the same thing about Go. The comparison was with those languages that have explicit async keyword.
I am disappointed that most people in the West have never heard about the Mauryan empire (which is at least as much of a factor in you having misread the title).
Regulatory changes were a big part of that. IIRC, manufacturers were ruled to be liable for accidents, and they all pretty much stopped making planes. So now planes are rare, very-old Cessnas cost what several cars do instead of what a single car does, and development is so stagnant that leaded avgas is still a thing.
Yeah the keyword stuffing for a title is annoying.
Unfortunately it appears to work well. Though it also has the side effect of cluttering up search results. I need a bunch of small drawstring pouches for a project. So all the resellers have stuffed their titles with "bag pouch sack" and the actual size of the item is irrelevant to the title.

It is fair that you might not like his personality and sometimes he presents things like the Apple engineers are idiots to design such fragile stuff(probably the fragility is by design) BUT all the facts he presents are true and you can confirm by googling things like all the class action lawsuit that were required to force Apple to admit mistakes, or how Apple "geniuses" are incompetent and will not correctly diagnose your issue but instead offer you a new product or just replace the entire motherboard etc.

Though I think it would be best to have more people leading the right to repair just for this reason of avoiding people that hate someone personality then opposing this movement.
We just need to stop shitting on source available licenses just coz corporate legal departments hate them.

France is pushing a law targeting a similar issue with Apple phones and laptops

Some people just aren't concerned with brand names. If it looks and works like it's supposed to, and it didn't cost any more money, then what's the problem?
To put it in computer terms : it's the same reason why we have task-specific hardware and general purpose hardware and software. The more a task reoccurs, the more you benefit from a device dedicated to the task. And the more heterogeneous your workload is, the more you benefit from broadly defined non-specialized capabilities.

In that respect, the beauty of the human brain is that it can go from one to the other depending on your habits.

Isn't Apple Card https://www.apple.com/apple-card/ them literally skimming off the top of every financial transaction, despite them doing nothing but provide a branded whitelabeled Goldman Sachs Mastercard? (admittedly, a very pretty fancy card)

I don't think the general population will ever be terribly up in arms with Apple's behaviour anymore, so long as Apple keeps forcing other businesses to hide Apple's taxes/fees/cuts for them.
My point is that there might be unconscious biases at play in parents, no matter what they might respond to a survey. It's not feasible for parents to account for 100% of their behavior when it comes to something as unimportant as this. IMO, this is something that just can't be determined scientifically.
And Apple's trade-in rates are paltry to begin with

I don’t know about “only Google”, but Apple feels that web push in its current form doesn’t benefit the user (at least, how most browsers currently implement it where every page can ask you for notification privileges). They could gate the functionality behind PWA install, but right now they don’t.

Completely wrong. Two major problems: First the Hong Kong film industry succeeded because it could evade the Chinese production censorships and only needed the censors red stamp for the final product. Political films were hard to make, romance and action succeeded in the market.

But eventually Hollywood succeeded in destroying the HK film industry and going after the Chinese market around Shrek times. Now only the Korean, Indian and French market didn't loose to Hollywood and their banks yet. China itself is totally not capable of producing movies for an international audience, only a few political correct Bejing movies every few years for some festivals plus the eventual dissident or gay film production, which appears on festivals. No chance to match the Korean, japanese, philipino or indian film productions. Either the cheap romantic soap operas, the comedy action flicks, but local markets only. Now we even got huge political backlashes against the top Chinese international productions. Active interferences post-censor stamps will cripple any serious major project. They intervened at many major European film festivals or market screenings. They went after prominent filmmakers and actors, who just disappeared. The Chinese film industry is dead. Nobody will invest anything into a Chinese international production. Many huge co-productions were cancelled lately. They don't care, because they control huge domestic market.
