Founders are building a distributed systems simulation product now called Antithesis. My data fabric startup, Stardog, is a happy Antithesis early adopter customer. It’s helping us reproduce and fix non-deterministic bugs deterministically. Good stuff.
They didn't choose a Spanish word. They chose a city name. It is spelled correctly - in regards to the city name.
Transaction costs here ( a stable country) costs 10 cents.

Bitcoin is currently at 4,5 $. I wouldn't buy any bread with it.

Online platforms also didn't care about crypto after they implemented it in 2017. History repeats itselves.

And i think the problems of those countries are bigger and won't be solved by Bitcoin. Guess we'll just have to wait and see about adoption, just like in 2017 when it never happened.
clever. thanks for the explanation.
something about deep comment thread folding?
I deleted a couple of them. Thanks!

Kudos on fixing what was probably a fairly terrifying problem.

Eventually they stopped booting into your account and now they plug in whatever computer they get into the store's intranet and boot off their images. I'm surprised it took them years to do that, though.

It seems an odd thing to lie about. It's so easy to get caught at it, and they seem to have done it very clumsily. And the upside seems so small -- both for China (if they requested it) and for Microsoft (if they were volunteering).

It does seem like the kind of thing that could happen in error, albeit an error that would probably produce millions of other problems (such as other missing images). Did that happen and none of the others attracted enough attention?

If they said, "Yeah, we patched a bunch of servers, but some data center was temporarily down, they didn't get the patch, and that just happened to be the one having that image," I'd say, "Yeah, that seems reasonable." No idea if it's true, but it sounds enough like other bugs I've committed.

5 years after the iPod and 1 year after the first color iPod is 10 years late?
Sure. I guess I am speaking about the larger trends. Firefox just recently went full rounded corners on the tab 'buttons'. Google did the same 2-3 years ago. Purple-gradients has been the trend that began with Stripe and spread around in design circles, landed at Apple sometime in 2018.
Did you read the whole comment? I edited it, but that part was in there from the beginning, just in different words.
The recent Mac OS releases are all named after places in California, so the spelling seems consistent here.

>How is not censoring and being banned any more productive than the status quo?

Any company that does this for content in China, but "only" in China raises serious doubts when they say they are not doing it anywhere else. If you add this ability, it will be misused/abused either by "rogue" employees, being hacked, or being forced to by gov't because of "terrorism" or "the kids".
Considering M1 is one of the fastest CPUs in single core, that makes no sense economically.
It wasn’t an acquihire. Apple paid a lot of $$ for FDB.
> Python types are unprovable, since the type of a variable can change at runtime

You can certainly statically identify places where such changes are possible and the possible changes, in fact, Python static typecheckers do this.

> It's the Halting problem.

The Halting problem is a real thing, but you can simply bail out on any path that reaches a certain depth without resolution and fallback to the broadest possible type (failing narrower constraints) to avoid it.

My theory is that FaceTime calls can only be initiated/scheduled from an Apple device. That prevents most of the spam problem, since you won’t be able to initiate a call through web.
You want half assed? FaceTime when it was announced by Steve Jobs, he himself up on stage said it would be open source. The developers in the front rows looked at each other and said, “did we say it would be open sourced?”

It’s still not open sourced to this day.
Same here in TX. Got a nice bold expiration date on my prescription too, but can't remember if it's one year after I uploaded the picture or one year after the scrip was issued.

In California, you would have the burden of proof that your business was damaged by the actions of the employee you allege is in breach of contract. The business would also be on the hook for the employees legal fees if they can't prevail.

Add to that, i don't see any copying of a "business model" here. Seeing as the ex-intern is not even charging for his software and is giving away the source code for free.
> there's been websites doing this stuff for decades now.

Would this hold up in case of a lawsuit? I mean, can Replit's CEO accuse the guy of copying some of their work if there's evidence of prior art that predates both projects?
Put the project back up. Replit's CEO has already shat all over his dinner table.
I doubt a country like El Salvador can afford 100$ fees for transaction or deal with BTC private key. A lot of people there even have a bank account with fancy mobile UI and phone support for pwd recovery.
Hardware doesn’t matter that much to what Apple is doing with software. You can do almost all of these things with off the shelf hardware. I mostly see „but they control the hardware“ as an excuse (as supported by macOS also being great on my Hackintosh laptop).
Also it hurts all around to tell a hopeful contributor that their code isn't good enough.

Yes, with hours of effort you can make your review relentlessly positive and constructive, but then it still hurts and they probably don't have the ability to fix it.

You'll have to fix it for them, which is often harder than writing it from scratch.
> how if they just ignored it then it would die out.

Doesn't fully undermine your point, but I remember his proposal being stronger than that. I think he was more proposing to basically blacklist twitter SJW warriors from industry. Whereas now they feel like they can make a fuss and if they get fired they can just get hired by a competitor, he wanted leaders to have a public stance that they wont hire people like that.

From the perspective of the customer to Apple - this is the opposite of customer service. It's not my problem if you built some new system that doesn't work with my data; you let me do whatever I wanted and didn't warn me that this wouldn't fly at some far-off point in the distant future. I'm not paying for the privilege to do QA for you. If you're having problems migrating my data you should let me continue using my account until you've fixed it on your end - I shouldn't have to know or be interrupted by an internal business process.
Ah what memories. Tandy Radio Shack in Australia operated the same "Battery of the Month" club in the mid 1980s.

I always got the 9V too, which I used for my "150 in 1" electronics kit.
These two things are simply not connected. The author can do what he want, he can also make it play Chinese national anthem when starting the software, and it'll be the same. It's not connected to the reliability of the software. He's free to do whatever, as long as it doesn't violate other people's rights.
Hi, Yatima co-author here, the intended use case is to write portable, safe and efficient programs using Yatima's advance type-system features (dependent types, substructural types, etc) and WebAssembly runtime.

That said, we're still pre-alpha, so there's a lot of work to do before I'd recommend anyone other than PL nerds actually use the project for anything.

As far as ideology goes, yes, definitely I have strong opinions about computing and how it fits into the human experience. I wrote the Motivation section of the README to make that clear and explicit up-front, so that people can make informed decisions about what they spend their time and attention on.

For example, I recognize that not everyone will agree with the view I express here:

> Yatima, as a project, has an opinionated view of that future. We think computing should belong to individual users rather than corporations or states. A programming language is an empowering medium of individual expression, where the user encounters, and extends their mind through, a computing machine. We believe "Programmer" shouldn't be a job description, anymore than "scribe" is a job description in a world with near-universal literacy. Computing belongs to everyone, and computer programming should therefore be maximally accessible to everyone.

> Currently, it's not: There are about 5 billion internet users worldwide, but only an estimated 25 million software developers. That's a "Programming Literacy rate" of less than 1%. Furthermore, that population is not demographically representative. It skews heavily toward men, the Global North, and those from privileged socioeconomic or ethnic backgrounds. This is a disgrace. It is if we live in some absurd dystopia where only people with green eyes play music
Not exactly. They're evaluating adding micro payments to the app.

These micro payments will be handled by a third party which uses a crypto currency in the exchange.

The feature itself is good imo. Though I'm prolly never gonna use it because of the crypto intermediary.
no worries! thanks for your hard work!
yep. we just won't ever use replit. their name is mud now.

Is that any different than using sqlite3 directly like this?

cat data.csv | sqlite3 -csv ':memory:' '.import /dev/stdin data' 'select col1, col3 from data where col1 != "foo"'

You can of course use the .import command directly on the file, but keeping it there to show piping.
They should allow us to choose. I'm not jazzed about Notepad++ deciding for me which search engines I'm "allowed" to use.

Maybe it's time to switch to Atom instead. At least there it's my choice.
The screen orientation thing gets me - and it’s been that way for YEARS.

In short, unlike most every other app which seems to actually use the orientation APIs, Facetime fakes it. This works fine on your phone, but if you’re trying to airplay the call up to your TV so you can see people a little larger, nope. You’re stuck in portrait mode forever. You’re better off asking the other person to rotate their phone.

Yeah, maybe not being offended just because of the word "simple" would be a good start.
At least at that point Bing just becomes an implementation detail of DuckDuckGo rather than something Notepad++ uses directly. But yeah, this is definitely not intended to do anything other than be a political statement from Notepad++.
Why oh why are so many people just buying what Microsoft is selling here? For a person give them the benefit of the doubt sure, but this is a feature which isn't turned off and on with a simple switch. Either:

1) Microsoft did this intentionally and want to shift they blame anyway the can (which is bad)

or

2) They censor tons many topics and had a whoopsie on this one (even worse??)

Unless they give a deep explanation of how this happened quickly I am personally giving them no benefit of the doubt
Money is not the only metric for a product's success, and it's current growth is severely limited compared to where it could be.

iPad and iPad OS are designed entirely to siphon money from an existing core user base, while offering the user no freedom or power.

It may be an unbelievably slick consumption product, but it fails miserably at championing what a mobile computing device can be.
I think that is what they were intimating in that last sentence. That the Notepad++ devs are implicitly supporting MS (and so Bing) by writing a Windows application.
Love this comment and support it 100%. I think what the OP tried to express and not everyone might have picked up on: there's usually a step between where this case is at right now and a lawsuit being officially filed - that step would be a cease and desist letter. In it, the company (aka, their lawyer) would state the basis for their claims and would make a clear case for why they think they are entitled to those claims. At that point, you'd have a better idea if you're being bullied or if they have a case. IANAL so take this all with a grain of salt, but it would be unusual for a claimant to optimize for taking you to court over optimizing for actually resolving the case. The latter can be achieved at a fraction of the time and cost with a cease and desist letter, so that's where that step comes from. The downside is that the letter could be officially registered and could become a public record, which you would have to proactively disclose in your interactions with current and future investors.
GP meant price for alkaline batteries did not come down.

Another point to consider is if you leave the alkaline battery in for too long will the chemical leak and ruin your device? The damage to your device from a broken battery could easily exceed the cost differential. I don't have solid evidence that brand names work better in this regard but I have definitely experienced repeatedly generic batteries having white corrosive crystaline stuff formed all around them.

But why stop there? The Spanish name is just a couple of badly spelled Latin words ("montem" + "regem"). And guess what? The Latin words are just some mispronounced Proto-Indo-European words.

Clearly Apple should have called it Men-h₃rḗǵs, right?
True, but the integrations with Apple Watch are very well done, even if the functionality is not strictly overlapping across platforms. The improvements in user experience caused by this tight ecosystem integration feed into each other, vastly outpacing what competitors without this kind of ecosystem ownership. It’s sad in a way because there is no incentive to build open standards, especially for Apple.
If u are looking at this from a profitable angle then getting ux right is about gaining more users and making them pay.

what is the maximum damages that a judge would award if replit won this case? $1k? Maybe?

IMNAL, but with trade secrete theft I imagine the damages awarded could be whatever the other side is able to convince was the harm done. E.g. "... defendant open-sourced our trade secretes, which was forked by competitors, causing irreparable harm ... seeking $15MM in damages ... and legal fees, etc.."

More likely than not the content of the CD has been copied to some network share by some random employee who probably:

- didn't read the license

- had they read the license, probably did not understand it

- had they understood it, probably didn't think it applied to them

> We may assume she already contacted them and asked them to do the honest thing, and was rebuffed.

No, we may not. There are photographers who put up bait stock images on the internet so they can litigate against whoever is using them. It can be more profitable than collecting licensing fees.
I see from the responses that one thing that is omitted is the clearly higher audio/video quality. I had someone call me on facebook messenger, but had to ask them to call me on facetime purely because of quality, and its not the first time.

As with all Apple products "it just works". I wonder if that may change when it goes to the web.
I agree with you, I just think you weren't making your case strongly enough by implying that Moore's Law referred to more than just transistor count.
So a "scientist", Peter Palese, signs a propaganda[1] letter[2] condemning the lab leak theory as a conspiracy theory. Media uses this to silence dissent. Now Peter Palese goes back on his original claims[3] and it's "just the scientific process".

Whatever the fuck is going on here should be torn out at the root.

Here are the facts:

1. Facui was pro gain of function research.

2. US did fund Wuhan Institute of Virology

3. WIV did do cornoavirus gain of function research

4. There has been more at least 4 leaks from Chinese labs in less than 15 years. This excludes a potential COVID leak.

5. State departement investigators were told to not investigate a lab leak theory because it would open a pandora's box.

6. The biosafety at some of the wuhan instute of virology coronavirus labs was on par with a dentist office.

These people should all be fired. And the people who sent funding to China to perform gain of function research on coronaviruses in shoddy leaky labs should be held criminally liable.

[1]: Under the subject line, “No need for you to sign the “Statement” Ralph!!,” he wrote to two scientists, including UNC’s Dr. Ralph Baric, who had collaborated with Shi Zhengli on the gain-of-function study that created a coronavirus capable of infecting human cells: “you, me and him should not sign this statement, so it has some distance from us and therefore doesn’t work in a counterproductive way.” Daszak added, “We’ll then put it out in a way that doesn’t link it back to our collaboration so we maximize an independent voice.” ~ https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/06/the-lab-leak-theory-...

If only Apple would sell their M1s to Microsoft so they could install it into their tablets.
From Duo wiki:
“ In August 2020, it was reported that Google was planning to eventually replace Google Duo with Google Meet, but would continue to support Duo and "invest in building new features" in the long term.[2]”

I don’t know exactly what that means. Seems like not much and Duo is still a priority. But all the deprecating and switching of Google products makes them a non win for me. It’s hard for me to get friends to try a new service. If it disappoints, the next time is that much harder.
Many of the Facetime features would have been great for the pandemic. Too bad that would have resulted in an insane schedule for the engineers.

I love the idea of the different Focus modes. Hopefully they have some good profiles out-of-the-box. I imagine without a good set of profiles, most people will never end up touching it. Hopefully shortcuts can interact with the current focus mode.

The Safari changes are quite aggressive. I'll have to try it before judging it. I don't really use the tab bar that much. I tend to find tab expose works better for me. If that still works, this change will make little difference for me. The tab groups seems neat. I know that is a thing people are always asking for.

What is interesting is the contrast it has Firefox changes announced recently. Those changes got a lot of flack on HN for decreasing the vertical space available for the webpage. These Safari changes go in the opposite direction. The color changing feature further indications that the focus is on the webpage and not the browser.

Overall, I predict this version of Safari will be pretty unpopular on Hacker News.

What kind of artist are you? As a painter, I can tell you there's use in having textures to reference while you draw things yourself. It's more like buying an image off getty to get the watermark off but not paying the extra 20 dollars for commercial use.
Exactly my setup. I use my iPad quite happily for programming on those odd days by just remoting into my desktop. I hate setting up multiple dev environments anyway so I consider this a plus. It works totally fine. Less annoying than I find most laptops tbh.
Insurers (whether companies or government schemes) will only have to pay $56,000 a year for this treatment.

I wonder how much the FDA increases healthcare costs. Biogen has been trying to get the approved for a very long time. I'm sure they're starting out maybe five to ten billion in the red on this product.
That company sucks but I predict they would win in court, simply because you made something that resembles their work, and thats plenty to convince a jury or the average judge.

Sure, it sounds like a generic enough page, and there are plenty like it, but how many have been put up by an intern at a company that ALSO put one up.

Additionally, you'll probably win here at HN, but in all probability you will not get a HN reader as either a judge or a jury.

Might be an unpopular opinion but its mine!
It has always referred to the minimum of the cost-complexity curve for integrated circuits. The progress of Moore's Actual Law has never stopped.

The thing people mean when they are talking about the deceleration of single-threaded CPU performance is actually Dennard scaling. Dennard said that density and power efficiency were complementary in such a way as to keep areal power constant. That was true until it suddenly stopped being true. If Dennard scaling had continued you'd be using a 20GHz CPU right now.
If they are reading this and need an SRE to help out let me know. We are really good at reverting the shit out of an release when it breaks prod.
Can I ask for a favor? Can you look at this old withdraw preprint of 2020?

My question is about Figure 2, where they show the insertions of Covid-19 compare with other variants. Why do they have more coincidences than in the figure 1 of the OP?

I don't think that the old article is correct. I'm just curios because I see the tables in the old preprint and the sequences look similar, but in the new paper they don't look similar at all.
> For one thing, you jumped from "this kind of person" to "these kind of people", without supporting evidence.

Not much of a jump: "kind" at the very least strongly implies the plural already. If you mean just one person, you say "this person", whereas "this kind of person" means "this person and others like him". AFAICS "this kind of person" and "these kind of people" are pretty much synonyms; the only difference between them is that the former is grammatically correct.
The coordination problems in creating a system designed from the beginning to be human in the loop is a challenge.

There are a lot of great ML algorithms, even if you limit yourself to 10-20 year old ones, that aren't leveraged anywhere like how they could be because very few know how to build such a system by turning business problems into ML problems and training users to work effectively alongside the algorithm.

CRUD application development projects blow past deadlines and budgets frequently enough. ML projects have even greater risks.

Edit: I hope the people making the successful legal document management system you mentioned write about their experience.
