This has been infuriating. It's even more pushy now that I do not log into a Google Account on the Nvidia Shield because it requires giving Nvidia full account access.

I have a Google notification that I cannot dismiss and 3 buttons on my App menu that all take me to the Play Store that I cannot remove. I'm livid.

This should be illegal and I'm frankly worried about Google's future if this is the kind of shit that they need to pull to continue to profit. Some of the brightest sw eng's around yet they do this shit rather than innovate. Lazy
I like this. I'm going to try this out.
Perhaps the Goldilocks mixture will be languages that allow type annotations but don't require it (e.g. Typescript, Elixir, Racket, and I think this is how Python's works).
Certainly, I have written you an email to the address used in your GitHub commits. If you no longer use that address, mine should be visible on my HN about.
do you have a realistic example?
Great article.

It would be interesting to compare the US to Japan and Japan's tendency to favor new construction (plus the differences in features and styles).
Technically a plasmid is kind of like a software patch, but generally they're employed by bacteria and not eukaryotes like humans.
> It reminds me of the made-up but often used story of terrified audiences running for the exits upon watching a film of a train for the first time.

The cultural recontextualization of stories like this in my lifetime has been one of the most fascinating aspects of our modern world for me.

Of course, as I get older, I've seen my own stories and stories about events I participated in get told, re-told, and twisted and exaggerated without absolutely any malice. We also all see how people misrepresent news stories, social policies, and scientific studies (with various degrees of malice). So I think I know almost exactly how the Film of Train anecdote happened.

1. Theater owner starts showing Train film. Stands outside and yells "Come inside and see the wonderous train show. This new 'cinema' is so real that audiences have been reportedly running for the exits in terror!"

2. It's an obvious exaggeration and a joke. Passerbys laugh, but are intrigued nonetheless.

3. Someone writes a newspaper story about the cinema and the train film. Includes the quote as directly attributed to the theater owner. Everyone reading is aware of the context and the situation and the implicit tone, and chuckles appropriately.

4. Story gets picked up in another newspaper but without the context and removes the quote and instead represents it as a factual retelling of what happened.

5. Years later, someone writing a book uses the newspaper as a primary source, and then a cascade of books repeat and propagate the "fact".

Perfectly reasonable sequence of events. But here's where things get even more interesting to me.

There are *dozens* of similar stories that we've all heard and took as gospel growing up that required one person to stop, ask "Wait, does this really hold up to scrutiny?" and the whole house of cards comes crashing down. I'm talking about the "NASA spent $10M to design a space pen, the russians used a pencil", "Water flushes in the opposite direction in the southern hemisphere", and the like.

But why did it only happen just now? What prevented people from being more introspective and curious about these subjects 10, 20, 30 years ago? I guess the answer is we needed the Internet to hit a certain critical mass for enough people with sense to be able to reach the rest of us, but I don't know.
Which problem? Because there aren't ads on the home screen, or even in the Apple TV app (other than promos for TV shows, but that's like...why you're there).
I have the same feeling.

I think what people usually mean when they say that we don't understand flight is that there are no simple equations. A lot of physical problems have elegant solutions (eg. the shape of a hanging chain is roughly the cosh function). But there are no elegant equations that describe the profile of a wing, so it's a bit unsatisfying.
> However, because of the bug in the app, people can view the GIF properly

*can't
I think it's annoying people get upset that people who do this potentially damage their bodies. First of all, it's that individuals body. They can take whatever risks they want. I don't see how trying to alter your own DNA is any worse for you than skydiving. Both have inherent risks, none of which affect others. Secondly, because there is no red tape or ethical scientific practices required, this gives us the opportunity to study some anecdotal evidence and (hopefully) these people donate their bodies for research after death. We can't truly know these affects if we constantly just act so tepid about the procedures.

Imagine if we had the scientific process about literally every aspect in human life since the dawn of civilization? We'd still be making bricks with straw, manure, sand, and water because there wasn't a government sponsored test of the quality of "Roman Cement" therefore we should not use it. Some of these people who criticize a lot of science do so just for the sake of disputing it. It's a good thing this stuff happens. The more anecdotal evidence we have, the more likely it can be subject to legitimate scrutiny and understand certain pitfalls that these individuals encountered and why. Just telling these people "you're stupid, it's bad for you!" is an ultimate waste of time and just stagnates data collection.
Are you trying to assert that hospitals wouldn't have been overwhelmed if we didn't lock down at all? Even the people that wanted to go with the 'let everyone get sick for herd immunity' plan weren't going that far!

> That makes as much sense as wanting to increase government regulations but defund police to enforce those new regulations.

...what's the contradiction? You don't enforce regulations with police.

Using police for the wrong job is half of the problem that "defund the police" is trying to address.
As it happens, i never was. I was an NTK man, and they had links to most of the good stuff on the site!
Ask HN: What art do you have in the office?
Probably because your TV isnt getting updates anymore. Great news, no ads for you. Bad news, your TV isnt being patched anymore despite being perfectly usable for another 10 years...
I don't think that would work. Whether or not something is a lie might only ever be known to the person who says/writes it. It could just be a mistake. Or part of the truth so incomplete as to make someone believe something that isn't true.

Human speech just doesn't lend itself to the type of formalism required for this to be possible. If you want the closest approximation, look at legal jargon, specifically for contracts: It is a set of speech standards that evolved over centuries in an effort to reduced ambiguity in transactions. As a result, it is extremely verbose to the point of incomprehensibility by outsiders, and it's still possible to deliberately misuse it without easy detection.
I understand the appeal but I don't want the government deciding what can and can't be said.

Free speech is important for a free society, although we are moving away in recent years with all of the platform censorship and truth labeling. While this censorship is technically legal, these platforms are used like public land and are training generations of people to undervalue freedom of expression.
No, not really. It's Welsh for "Hug".
people are surprised?

I’ve tried .Net Blazor, Stimulus Reflex and Phoenix Livewire. Blazor is by far the closest as it allows you to run Native client-side code and server-side code.

The conceptual model didn’t work for me. Using client-side frameworks with json over the wire is a simple model. Ideally the server decides where things are rendered.

These are important tech innovations, however the missing piece is still WASM. Being able to write the full-stack in one language. A step further WASM enables is interoperability between languages. Being able to call a Python ML lib client-side from your JS/Ruby/C# would be a game changer.

Sadly, WASM for ruby and Python is not quite there yet.
This kind of thing was an issue in the USSR as well (at least in athletics, chess and the like). I do believe that the countries' policies of some cultural and scientific interchange did reduce tensions and risks.
Just don't use the "Apple TV" app on your Apple TV hardware?

Make the Home button go to the App screen.

I think it's because of echo cancelling technology. In software like discord you can disable it and it's way better when people are talking simultaneously.
Reddit app is not that good either.
Only good thing left from old era of reddit is access to reddit api so that third party devs can build a better frontend on top of it. I don't think new reddit management is in favour of that decision anymore. An anecdote is Reddit chat (which came much later) is not part of the 3rd party api access so that users would stick to the official Reddit app.
I wouldn't be too surprised if reddit decide one day to kill the api switch.
rustfmt is not a library, and folks don’t depend on it as one. The only nightly features it uses are “hey let me use compiler as a library please,” which is also not, in my experience, common in the ecosystem. Even furthermore, it’s distributed precompiled in your rust installation, so that doesn’t end up giving you a nightly dependency to use it.

Anyway, thanks. Nightly does exist to be used, but our users largely report using stable, so when people say things like this, I am trying to see if there’s any blind spots.
The same way the Albanian government collapsed due to a Ponzi scheme: everyone knew it was a ponzi scheme, but everyone thought they were smarter than most and would get out on the right side of the trade.
So in your view, having even a single GNU tool installed, or even available for installation, means you're using "GNU/Linux"? Alpine uses musl and busybox rather than the more common GNU equivalents.

Kernel overcommit has nothing to do with GNU, but default stack size has a lot to do with which libc you use. Musl has a different default than glibc. Overcommit is mentioned because it is the justification for glibc having a large stack size by default. Musl has defaults that make fewer assumptions about how the system is configured.
I remember seeing this dialog as a kid (probably ~5 years old) and being scared the computer would blow up. Actually, for years, I assumed I must have dreamt it.
A simple one would be:

total = 0
for value in list:
total += value
return total

vs.

total = 0
for value in list:
total += value
return total
The value of HN to YCombinator is keeping a large community of plugged-in and knowledgeable people on-tap. If there were any hint of commercializing HN, it would be clear as day that Ycombinator was now run by idiots. Everyone would flee faster than a jackrabbit from a pack of wolves.
Sure! All the companies that don't want to give benefits will schedule you for 30-35 hours or less. Search for "part time". It won't be programming though :)
Agreed. NPR never used to use clickbait titles like this ("He ..." is pure clickbait). It's sad to see them doing it regularly now. I imagine the latest generation of journalists grew up thinking this is normal. I know HN prefers original headlines, but I wish these would be edited down when posted here.
RedReader user here, can confirm. I don't even know what half of the complaints in the link are talking about, as they're largely problems with the "official" mobile experience.
> What, then, is the guaranteed thread stack size?

If you need a big stack, you can just ask pthread to give you one.
Plethora of information and lists there. How to better classify it for structured listing?
Something like list of lists of lists on Wikipedia.

Exactly. To be clear I’m very pro-type systems.
It seems kinda hyperbolic, but then again the death chime on Power Macs scared the hell out of me as a kid.
Shhh! Keep it quiet, or else reddit might remember that exists and kill it.
For what, reporting the truth to the US public? That's called journalism and ought to be praised.
I'm curious what the dark blobs are in the photos of the live yeast cells in the paper [1]. They look like what I'd expect organelles to look like but yeast are eukaryotes so I'm guessing coagulation of some sort?

I would have thought that bacteria would look much more homogeneous internally, at least at this scale.

Maybe talk to Apple, whom have made it increasingly hard to theoretically impossible for our type of privacy preserving app to run on iOS. We aren't the first, and Brair has been around a bit longer and has run into the same problem.

https://briarproject.org/news/2018-1.0-released-new-funding/

https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/445

As an even smaller team with less funding, we have so far decided it would be irresponsible to risk sinking a sizable portion of our limited funds into trying to port to iOS when it may be impossible.

But if you really want it, please, donate, we need iphones, macs, dev accounts and budget for the research and work!
On the contrary, I find that the total suckage of Teams means that there is no random chatter in Teams like we had in Slack because people hate using it. No memes or other random stuff. I like it.
Stealing bread actually deprives someone else of a scarce resource, but the marginal cost of making a digital copy of a TV show is ~zero. So you’re right - it is quite different. Stealing bread is much worse than copying a digital file.
It may not be because they are being a sociopath but it also isn't just because of being an introvert. What you are describing is social anxiety which some introverts have and others do not.

I used to put Xibo on crappy boxes like this one here for work. They never had the same internals, even if I used the same supplier. They usually thought they were a phone when you dug into their software.

Ideally, the layout would adjust the spacing between items, so that one item is always partially cut off. I don't know whether Apple does that or not (or if it's their small number of possible iOS device resolutions, like you suggested). However, that seems like something that Google should consider as a way to improve the Android experience.
Ford improved shorthand looks neat. I'm gonna take a closer look at it. Thanks for the tip!
There have been prior threads on HN about dumb tvs with several options. The LG "Commercial Lite" (for Business) series has some non-smart options, at least in Canada. It was just a few years ago I got my 55" 4k LG dumb tv for $1000 CAD and it's great. Though the market may have changed somewhat. Good luck
“Well established” doesn’t mean anything.

According to who?

Computer scientists talk about “well formed” not “well established”.

Those are categorical definitions.
Singapore's new plan to 'live with Covid' revealed
Interesting. I have watched nearly all of The Thought Emporium’s videos (so clearly I’m an expert, lol) and I think he uses the term plasmid to describe DNA he’s working on in the crazy bio IDE he uses. I think in this instance he applied it to a yeast that he cultured and put into pills and swallowed.

He really is doing some neat stuff though. He’s inspired me to do some small bio hacking experiments and it ALMOST makes me want to go back to college.
Real estate buyers are typically not building science subject matter experts.

My question is: how did any sale of units get approved between home inspectors, lenders, appraiser, insurers, or other third parties having this information who would participate in a transaction? The condo association knew about this report since 2018, and would’ve been required by Florida law (Section 503(2) of Florida’s Condominium Act) to disclose to any buyers.

Tangent: when I was young, I had a book that catalogued a whole variety of random skills (building a crossbow, making a compass, how camouflage works, etc). It was a wonderful tool for juicing my imagination and a license to build (crappy) versions of almost anything.

I wish there were more books like that.

I think Apple News is the only Apple made app that shows inline interest based adds.

Annoyingly they still show them even if you pay for the News+ subscription.
Important to note that nothing Wikileaks has published has ever had to be retracted. They've told the truth to the public about governments, which is why they're targeted. In fact several Pulitzer Prizes have been awarded thanks to their efforts. They've never been shown to put anyone at risk either, a testament to their careful vetting process, showing that they're responsible too.

This is clearly a political attack on someone who has exposed some uncomfortable truths. Even if Assange is a criminal, which I don't think he is, there's no excuse for holding him in the manner which they are, treating him worse than the worst criminals.

Finally it's been shown that the rape accusations were an orchestrated smear campaign as well.
Teams has worked great for me. It's comparably fast to Slack. Calls and screen sharing work perfectly. I am not sure what is different about my situation versus the other users here. I use the native app on Windows, and my org currently has channels and most integrations disabled (Outlook, OneDrive).
There's this [1] and the C++ variant here [2]

So far I have not yet investigated what can be done with that. It looks a bit promising (and complicated).

Microsoft's deprecated control had the mshtml document interface and that was indeed very powerful.

The Async script capabilities give you a lot of power, but I agree that the asynchronous part of it is a huge pain and is causing me extra headaches as it is basically preventing me from creating the API I want to create.

The concept of lowest common denominator isn't really exclusive to Reddit, communicating through any medium there will always be more people able / willing to understand (or just to spend the time getting through) something short and simple than something long and complex.
For the sake of discovery, I'd say Manticore search does a pretty (and fast) good job with full text searches and suggestions.

FTFY.
> I suspect no evidence will meet your extraordinary standard because you’re only looking for evidence that supports an existing position based primarily

Let's s start with even minimal evidence before we get to worrying about my cognitive biases.

Read #8 in this article: https://taibbi.substack.com/p/aaugh-a-brief-list-of-official...

"Shawn Henry of Crowdstrike, testifying in secret to congress, ... saying there was not “concrete evidence that data was exfiltrated from the DNC,”"
Humans simply didn't evolve to live in communities as large as the ones which enabled us to really push our foot on the gas in terms of technological and civilization progress.

People look at social media but it started waaay earlier, back in old Mesopotamia.

Mesopotamic Urbanization>Ability to write>Journals>Newspapers>Radio>TV>Internet>Social Media

Social media is just the last step in the process. Each and every step of the process contributed to make humans learn about how many humans are there in the world and this somehow makes us feel less special.

When we wrap our minds around how many humans are there in the world, we feel insignificant and we feel like we don't matter at all. In a sense our sense of worth feels diluted by the immense quanity of people who are just like us.

This creates anxiety and resentment. Our brain is still the same as we had back in pre-Mesopotamic eras.
Apple is just another domineering company that takes our computing rights away. I don't want them at the helm, either.
Nope. I too have seen users freak out about illegal operations.
This is just a gentle reminder that as long as you’re happy to buy into walled gardens, the devices you buy are not truly yours.

You’re merely in possession of them, with others allowed to set the rules.

As an AppleTV user I could be totally smug about this, but there’s nothing stopping Apple from making a similar move if they wanted to, and I wouldn’t have jack shit to say about it.

I’ve tried more open options and they all suck, but I hope one day there can come an open appliance-platform which at least is usable and supports all the latest standards. Then I might be willing to give it a try.
I'm simply not using reddit at all. Never had a problem with their dark design pattern.
We're constrained by the subset of physics that can be implemented by proteins. Plus, the genetic code can't be too big, or it won't fit, but I doubt we'll ever hit that limit (provided we don't go the software route and build a giant tower of massive abstractions that gets copied everywhere).
One crucial difference that seems to break the analogy is that money is a utilitarian tool. It doesn't have an absolute, “true” price or way of managing it. Anything that makes people feel happy and economy grow is good, and is “true” way to run money.

Truth is not like that. It's must be absolute, and it should not be defined arbitrarily based on what improves people's well-being. (Or maybe it should, but that's going to be a different kind of truth.)
Just recently they changed the submission date display format from “7 months” to “7m”, not like that’s ambiguous at all.

> Who is responsible for keeping the state internally consistent ?

What does this even mean?

> The real problem here is not the mutability of the state, it is the ownership of it.

1. Start with an initial state

2. Pass a copy of that initial state into a function, let it return a slightly modified version of that initial state

3. Pass that slightly modified version into another function, wash rinse repeat

The only ownership that is happening that needs to be worried about is the parent function passing a copy of state to a child function for the duration of that call, right?
