It's very simple really - it's a government-owned sovereign wealth fund, with an unusual clause that 25% of the revenue goes to the Queen. In this context, "crown" means "government" more than "queen", eg "crown land" means "government land".

If the UK ditched the monarchy, the government would continue to own this property, but keep the 25%.
I wrote a python script that returns annotated PDFs of submitted homework via outlook to all students.

My workflow is to grade on my iPad, Airdrop the files to my computer, then I can run the script that matches emails and PDFs and sends them out. Before I used to compose and send emails manually, but that took forever.

Now I need to figure out how to scan my inbox for submissions and send them to the iPad automatically (anyone have an idea?)

I hope the game developers hurry up and wake up. Basically my entire game library still has zero M1-compatible versions.
This is a huge problem in video games now IMO. Any card game everyone plays the same decks, in MOBAs everyone builds the same and prioritizes the same picks, in MMOs everyone wants only the BiS gear and specs the same way, etc. Basically so many games are "solved" and there are so many people who min-max the games become totally unfun.

Many are interpretations of what happened. take the covid - pericarditis link. is it that the fda is investigating reports of slightly elevated rare side effect? or is it that the vaccine may be more harmful to kids than the virus but the government is forcing you to take it anyways. both are actual headlines. One is ideological reinforcement masquerading as news — that’s what op was getting at. Watch enough of that stuff and the real world will become ever more difficult to see.
That is a load of bullshit. The phrase is used to shit on all things that make men, men. If it was really a technical term to describe the bad components of masculinity, then there would be an equivalent in terms of femininity, since there are aspects of femininity that can be construed as toxic. I would go out and a lim, and suggest that being overly passive, passive aggressive, and backstabbing are all aspects of femininity that could be considered toxic. You could also consider the perverse side effects of the women are wonderful effect to be toxic femininity

No, that logic does not compare at all. Google's groceries aren't fungible when compared to Apple's, and vice versa.

If you have been eating Apple's groceries but want to switch to Google's, you have to get your teeth, tongue, throat, and stomach replaced with Google-compatible versions. Plus all of the things you are currently storing in your fridge and freezer at home needs to be thrown out because they will no longer fit in the new Google-compatible fridge/freezer you have to buy. Oh, and for the things that need to be cooked, you'll also need to buy a new Google-compatible stove and oven.

So the article describes the reason why taking and holding Australia early doesn't cause the other players to gang up on you (although I have played with people who definitely wanted to take me out of Australia because of the two extra armies and who were willing to go on crazy suicide marches to achieve their goals) but it does not explain exactly why take and hold Australia early is almost a cliche of 'the key to Risk' strategies one sees about.

finally, everyone here seems to argue that Risk is a terrible game but if that's so why do I generally win?! Next you're going to tell me that Stratego isn't any good either!

We see religious tendencies in the secular world because we really don't know what we're doing running the secular world. Nobody really knows how to organize an economy to work well. All the plausible systems have failed at some point, often in unexpected ways.

"Free markets" are just turning loose an optimizer that optimizes for - something. Central planning just pushes the problem back to the planning level. Combining the two for political ends tends to produce strange results because economics has very poor predictive power.

This uncertainty tends to drive people to faith-based positions. That doesn't work either, but it satisfies some basic human need.

The point being, switching from CPython to PyPy does not simply give you the performance boost and that's it. It comes with its own tradeoffs, including:

(a) trading speed for much more memory consumption

(b) slower C FFI - important for all kinds of Python workflows (e.g. Pandas, Numpy, and so on)

(c) behind mainline CPython releases, and with subtle incompatibilities

(d) slower startup times (due to the JITting involved)

(e) different garbage collection model (and less predictable)

(f) less support (from companies, distros, etc), fewer ports, less manpower to port quickly to new platforms (e.g. Apple's M1).

> “Why do science and philosophy matter?” has only religious/ideological answers

The question needs not be asked. But most people are not areligious, they have been raised within a context of religion where the question was asked to them. Religion begets religion because it teaches people that there are higher meanings and pushes people to seek their answers.

A true areligious person does not ponder about the meaning of life, why we are here, and what it is we need to do with ourselves. An areligious person can simply exist in peace, guided simply by ones natural desires for fun, pleasure, comfort, safety, growth and love.

It's pure ideology to not consider the enormous capital income rich people receive as a cost. If the monarchy ended, the 25% of the Crown Estate the Queen currently receives could be kept by the government and used for schools, hospitals etc instead.

I think most belief systems, religious or otherwise, sort of boil down to: "believe what you need to believe in order to get through life with some sort of meaning". Otherwise things can get a little too bleak in our heads...
> This is just a sort of tautological argument, wherein you adopt that "to be religious" is the same as "to have a belief system".

Not OP, but I think this is a pretty narrow reading of their statement. Personally, I read it to be more about value and community dynamics.

Institutionalized religions often are very explicit about their (supposed) terminal values and arrange social situations to explicitly work toward or reinforce those values. I believe OP is pointing out that secular groups (at least those within view of OP's demographics) mostly fail to have explicitly defined value systems.

There is a difference between why we perform and action and the reasons we give for performing the same action [citation needed]. I think OP suggests that religions have structures useful for cognating about the former more sharply than secularism does.
after a minute, I was expecting a reference to the Turbo Encabulator.
Hey, OP here! I think I could've worded that better. It does sound a bit anti-framework when it wasn't meant to be at all. I was thinking more in broader terms where you'll inevitably be using Browser APIs even within a framework like React.

You obviously can find a lot of topics which people don’t have time thinking about, so they copy rituals and belief systems from their parents, other attachment figures, or even the media.

The sources of those beliefs are decentralized though, and the individual person can pick beliefs which suit their whereabouts, environment, and sub culture best.

Religion however is a centralized source of belief systems, which comes with problems:

- One size fits all solution leads to problems like this: Oh your best friend is gay? Too bad, our 2k year old manifest says they are bad people/subhuman/sick. (This makes me SO angry)

- Central authorities can and will exploit their power if possible: Witch hunts, crusades etc

- Self-actualization is constrained by a fixed set of rules: Tolerable in times where basic needs are often not met and are more urgent, but becomes an issue when 95% live better than a Pharao.
I'm still not really sure what that's supposed to mean or why it's not conflation, many Christians that I've met have wildly varying views on the bible. I also don't see what the difference here is supposed to be -- in general, there is not a lot of fact checking happening on public social media, and if there is, it also has a lot of its own bias. I don't see that as being specific to comments on scientific articles or evidence of any kind of "scientism," it's just the usual confirmation bias.
I really don’t know how long I’m willing to buy this argument that Apple is a “luxury” brand or that Apple or its customers are disproportionately concerned about coolness or fashion. All the competing flagship smartphones have similar products at similar prices, including all the branded accessories, as well as extremely similar marketing and advertising. And at least in the United States, Apple has nearly a 50% market share, which makes it really hard to buy the narrative that people are only interested in Apple products because of Apple’s marketing and their desire to fit in or look cool.

If there is a global switch to the euro or the yuan, American imports could become more competitive, leading to increased economic activity in the US. Dollar or not, the United States still has substantial industrial capability.
In America, religion has always had an outsized influence in everything, including leftist movements. It's no surprise that its influence has extended to other movements in ways both subtle and (perhaps) surprising.

This notion that Apple killed the mobile apps industry which it arguably started is ridiculous.

We have companies like Instagram, Snap, WhatsApp, Niantic etc who built billion dollar businesses on the back of the iOS platform. And a wide array of small developers e.g. Calm who are likely to be the next billion dollar company. Not to mention all the indie developers who are thriving.

Those of us who run startups know how difficult it is to build a robust channel to market. And Apple gives you one on a silver platter for far less than what other ad platforms charge.

> For system-level folks, Rust is one of the most exciting security developments of the past few decades. It elegantly solves problems which smart people were saying could not be solved. Fuchsia has a lot of code, and we made sure that much of it (millions of LoC) was in Rust.

> Our kernel, Zircon, is not in Rust. Not yet anyway. But it is in a nice, lean subset of C++ which I consider a vast improvement over C.

A few thoughts on this.

1. Why is it that Chrome hasn't had more Rust adoption? It's so obvious - Chrome constantly has to make the tradeoff of security vs performance with regards to things like parsing in sandboxed code. There's so much potential - Firefox started with the obvious place, encoding and decoding, which are too dangerous for C/C++ but too performance sensitive for OOP.

Feels like it's gotta be organizational, and somehow Fuschia has managed to break off from the part of Google that's still clutching to C++.

2. I'd be interested in hearing more about the design of Fuschia. Rust in userland is cool, or kernel modules too, but a memory unsafe kernel is an unfortunate thing. Even just the teaser of "not yet at least" is changing my view on the OS (I find the idea of another memory unsafe kernel/userland more depressing than exciting, even if there are neat things like capabilities).

3. Also curious to hear about their experience with a strict subset of C++. Again, looking at Chrome, we now see common ITW exploits - and Chrome is perhaps the single most fuzzed piece of software in the world, and leverages many modern C++ techniques (or the Google equivalent of them).

As for the rest, verified execution seems interesting - is this like what iOS does, where it's basically impossible to RWX (except with an escape hatch for JITs, but behind a permission boundary)?

TBH if Google pivots Fuschia to do something interesting like bottom-up memory safety with novel isolation mechanisms, I'll bite. Until then, I'll wallow in this awful pit we continue to dig ourselves into.

Hacker News is probably not the best place to ask this question, as it's very much "JS bad" as a service. Take any advice received here with a grain of salt. With that out of the way - the only correct choice is the one you're more productive in. If you find that QT fits your workflow better, go with that. If you're more familiar with web technology and want to work within your comfort zone, use Electron (or Tauri or Neutralino or NWJS or...you get the point).

QT has much less overhead to it, but it's not exceptionally difficult to create an optimized Electron app that people will enjoy using. Discord and (in my opinion) Visual Studio Code are good examples of well-optimized Electron apps.

All else held equal, I would personally choose Electron (or rather Tauri) if just by virtue of "you are forced to separate the display tier from the business logic."
It has to be a mix of things. Anecdotally, regular Reddit usage penetration isn’t that high. Especially not [nearly] all news. It’s def there though and def higher than many other platforms.
You imply from your comparison that atheism is [not belonging to a group with a shared belief] and then say "we" [belong to a group with a shared belief], which is clearly self-contradictory. I strongly agree with the first part, but not with the second. There are certainly atheists who wouldn't agree with what "we" (you) are "just saying".
Individuals, including religious people, frequently change their mind. Have you never met a person who used to be religious, and I am not just talking about raised religiously but actually believing, lose their faith? The idea that religious people are religious just because they don't want to change their views is ridiculous.
Why can't they just present the argument without any abuse at all? Why is there ever any need for the abuse?

Agreed, but regular users might be put off by the scary warning you have to click through on Android to allow an install outside the Play Store. And there is no way to have non-Play apps auto-update. Even alternative stores like F-Droid are not allowed to do this; they have to put up a notification that updates are available, and for each app you have to manually confirm that you want to install the update.

Is this a better situation than on iOS? Yes, of course, definitely. But it's still not a level playing field.

> Apple only has control over consumers who chose for them to have that control. If you are selling an app to an iPhone user, you are selling to someone who only wants your app if Apple blesses it. If you are an Apple user that doesn't want that, then why did you by an Apple? Free yourself and buy a real computer or phone next time.

I think it's a bit more nuanced than that. People who are in the Apple ecosystem and not Android (and vice versa) have many different reasons for doing so, whether it's because iPhones are seen as a status symbol, or they believe that iOS is more privacy-protecting than Android, or they are in the Apple ecosystem for their desktop experience, and don't want to have to deal with frustrating interop issues. And a host of other reasons.

So sure, a person who buys an iPhone is choosing the restrictions imposed on them, but it's not because they necessarily actively like or want that. They just believe it's something that they will have to give up and deal with if they want the other things.

So no, no one held a gun to their heads and made them buy iPhones, but it's not just a binary decision on a single dimension as to whether or not you buy iPhone or Android.
