Yes I was thinking of something like that. Only I wish I could also know whether I is first and/or last without calling into the iterated structure. I know this looks like corner case syntactic sugar but it comes up a lot, e.g. when serializing to JSON. I guess I should write my own iterators but I want them everywhere...
Those are the two common models of proprietary software distribution - subscriptions or one-off payments. Did you actually expect lifetime updates for $20 - i.e. the benefits of subscriptions for the price of one-off purchase?

It's not promising you to work forever without updates, but also it doesn't force you to pay if you're happy and everything still works.
China isn't even a market for them since YouTube is blocked. That's what makes this even more pathetic.
It would be of immense value to engage with folks of different backgrounds and upbringing to understand differences like this, but unfortunately the cancel culture HN downvote mob decided that you can’t have that discussion with him.
It’s windows 10 only though. For all 13 people who run windows servers.
Can it run tcc and self-host?
Is there an actual reason why windows 11 isn't supported on older hardware?

I've read the announcements, but from what I've seen Windows 11 is basically Windows 10 with new UI. And a few small details like widgets and "built-in" Microsoft Teams.
I'm not really talking about American news media specifically. I don't read the NYT or the WSJ or watch Fox News. These are all anecdotes. I respect your perception but the news I consume don't seem to behave the same way. Naturally I have my own biases here.

This seems to be a fairly decent article on the topic:

No conclusion.

This is interesting:

"A random check carried out this week showed that there is one citation on Google News for every 50,000 Chinese or Indians, 20,000 Bangladeshis, 8,000 Pakistanis, 5,000 Russians, 3,400 Egyptians (in the midst of horrific soccer riots) or 1200 Syrians (although the regime in Damascus is doing its best to improve its rankings by steadily decreasing the number of living Syrians). But it takes only 300 Israelis for each Google News item on Israel, clear proof that the country is being singled out for disproportionate coverage."

> it works.

That's the thing. I don't doubt that it does. But certainly there are _other_ things that work as well that may or may not be as profitable but are certainly more ethical.

And that's basically what bugs me.

They don't seem to be in earnest trying to do anything else that might provide much more value.

> power users complain—and still continue using the site—but the casual user does not.

And that's what makes it worse. That's effectively exploiting the fact that most users are not well informed about privacy.

At the risk of sounding too hyperbolic, a similar but more nefarious example is that power users didn't fill in Cambridge Analytica's quizzes, but casual users did.
> As I understand it, immutability usually refers to mutable data structures hidden behind an interface that allows the programmer to reason about things as if they were immutable.

That is the definition of an algorithm, not immutability.
I tried appollo a while back and I was not a fan. My biggest gripe with the UI of appolo and post-redesigned reddit is that it feels like instagram or a facebook. I don't like endlessly scrolling through pictures and auto-playing videos since most of them are of no interest to me. If I want to view a picture/video I'll click on it. It clutters up the page with content I don't care about. Mobile browsing (for me at least) is already a slower and more tedious process because less items can be displayed on the screen at once than a full desktop version, and typing/navigating is considerably faster with a physical keyboard and mouse.
All I see is a privacy respecting solution to the problem Facebook id solving.
Fucking cowards

The behaviour that still catches me out in Linux is Ctrl-Shift-C starting a call.

The number of times I've been copying between a terminal and Teams and accidentally started a call is really frustrating.
I imagine some of them (though not all) would be quite upset about that.

That said this looks like a mostly manual act, so if you seek to assign blame then you should look elsewhere.
that doesn't exist

...yet.

Unless they plan to do massive changes to the system this is very likely to not be a problem and cracking is likely to still be quite possible.

The frog is boiling slowly.
community actually voted or pushed on it not to change until we get like a major tech implemented or had a big addition besides planets like the gas giant were getting in a few days. So that's mostly on the backers. Im surprised since they have gotten one of the big techs before server meshing done and it hasnt changed. i guess people just forgot about it.
All you need is for one person to propose something and a majority to say they agree? Is that what you mean?
It's not a conspiracy, if they're really out to get you.
I think you are correct. Unchecked climate change will send the wealthy and middle classes North. If History is any indicator, they will close the borders of their regions as tightly as possible and commit a pitance to "humanitarian aid" leaving the poor piling up in refugee camps on their borders.

We have the examples of the U.S. border, Australia's camps on Naru, the various permeant refugee camps spread across the Eastern Mediterranean and many more as examples.

As the situation becomes more intense, migrants will become more desperate and bold. The reaction from the wealthy enclaves will become more and more repressive. (Who themselves will be seeing a diminished standard of living).

In my opinion, the only thing that could spare us this future is a global commitment to universal rights and more equal resource distribution. But this would require countries like the United States to write rights of non-citizens deeply into their constitutions. And that is likely unattainable at this time.
Disagree - I am an ambivert who is great when someone is visually within my sight. Terrible if that person is out of visual range.

When you're out of sight, I don't know if that person exists. I have so much work, ideas, hobbies, an active mind, and things to do that the only way I can maintain a relationship is if THEY actually get a hold of me, or I see them. I noticed relationships suffering - and schedule some texts/calls... but calling is so constraining.

I like the irony of a story about the danger of social media here on HN. You know. Social media.
So glad YT keeps protecting me from all the disinformation out there.
Q: What's the difference between fake news / conspiracy theories and the real news?

A: About 8 months.

Sure this joke is an exaggeration, but occurrences like this seem to be getting more common. Sometimes it's much longer than 8 months. The informed reader can fill in the blanks.

One very big problem is YT and other content providers intentionally provide recommendations to reinforce confirmation biases of the viewer. If you click a few wacky conspiracy videos you will start seeing more in your feed. If you click fact and logic based alternate videos, you will start seeing confirmations of this particular view point, but no factual/logical discussions from opposing viewpoints. What's worse, inevitably you will start seeing references to censorship in your favorite topics. This feels very much like a political agenda on the part of big tech content providers.

In any event it is clear the algorithm is not interested in healthy reasonable discussion and debate to further democracy.

You think it's more expensive to fight the MPAA/RIAA than the Chinese government?
I think a pretty reasonable compromise is to reserve custom implementations of potentially dangerous things like crypto for personal projects. As an end user I'd rather run software that just uses sodium, but as a developer I agree that it's necessary that we get experience doing it ourselves.
And Jews.
8 if you count the scope creep basically requiring a complete redo on how things are done for the entirety of the game.
In my opinion it's unethical if the website explicitly states in their terms of service that bot purchasing is not allowed. As far as I know, that is pretty common for websites that sell frequently scalped products, and near-ubiquitous among those that implement technical countermeasures.

I'd expect cybercriminals and fraudsters also find a pool of disposable residential IPs to be very useful.
Culture isn't reproduction, culture is horizontal gene transfer.
I'm lucky that I have a lot of friends through D&D and other in-person group gaming.

As a happily married gay man, however, I find that a lot of straight men still get the wrong idea when I, e.g., invite them for a drink after work, even when it's as part of a group with other people. It's happened a few times now and I'm seriously perturbed! What other signals do I need to be throwing to tell people I just want to be friends?
We're back at the platform vs. publisher debate... I think this should be a either-or thing, that every webpage chooses. Then, you're either a platform, and can only remove directly illegal stuff (or when told by the courts to do so), or a publisher, decide what content you publish and what you remove, and then carry the full responsibility for that content.

The current situation, where pages like youtube can act as publishers, and cherry pick what they keep/promote and what they remove, and still keep all the platform protections is really bad, mostly for the users.
I like the cursor, because it abstracts indexes. Problem is, if I want the element, I still have to go fetch it (calling Element on the Cursor) and then I have to save it in a local variable and then I need to add a declare block for the constant standing for the result of Element and then the thing makes 5 lines instead of two and is not much more readable. Maybe I can just use Element() (especially since AdaCore seems to want to generalize dotted notation) repeatedly and have it inlined, but my past experience says 'expensive'...

And sadly Cursors haven't been generalized to all associative iterable structures in Ada (arrays for example).
"Front" camera? What an odd way to phrase it, like saying your "north" hand.
I fully understand where you're coming from - there are others like you. I can fill every moment of my time usefully with learning, work, projects, hobbies, etc. I am high energy (not AD[H]D, etc] and excited about things constantly.

I am task oriented first, but people oriented when they're in front of me (visually bc it causes me to focus).

Heck, my parents, wife, best friends I wouldn't communicate with for weeks, months until we all learned that is my mode or if they just showed up.
Incredible!

What was the hardest part?

What did you learn that you weren’t expecting?

Animals are already migrating to more northerly climes as recent articles on Svalbard attest.* What prevents people from doing the same is mostly international borders, politics and money.

> A glance at the online Arch package listing and some example .PKGINFO files indicates that Pacman also doesn't support metadata like 'provides' and 'replaces' in DEB and RPM, which means the developers have fewer tools at their disposal for dealing with transitions like that, even when they want to.

I guess this is what you get for making assumptions about a platform you're technically unfamiliar with, isn't it?

Confrontration is how you bring attention to a problem. Conflict is what happens when that dominant idea is challenged by another idea.

both of these are difficult to act on or enable if management doesnt make it worth while to do so (because of blame, micromanagement, politics etc)

what i mean to say is, confrontation/conflict is a normal part of debugging reality, and is healthy as long as there is an open/healthy system to enable it
> I would not recommend anyone to use Arch unless they are willing to spend a lot of time fiddling with their machine and I wouldn't install it on anything that I might have to use at a moments notice since as I've been told part of Arch is that updating your packages just breaks your OS.

Yes, exactly right. As an Arch user, I endorse this.
A lot of times, the approach that the designer took is the right one, and the approach the engineer proposed is flawed when tested with real people.
> It never happens though.

I think it frequently happens. Reddit built a better Digg for instance. It's just that once the new companies supplant the existing ones they seem to start doing the same things.
Of course Russia and China are spreading it. If they’re not spreading disinformation in the US, then what in the world are their intelligence services doing to earn their paychecks?

The US needs to IP blacklist Russia and China. If you do business in the US, you shouldn’t be able to connect to a network that is connected to Russia or China. Let the European and Asian backbone providers choose, do business with US businesses or Russia / China.

I continue to be amazed at the level of competence ascribed to this man. Donald Trump was, at heart, a lazy do-nothing in search of sycophancy and praise. He had zero inclination to actually change anything about how the government operates. All he cared about was that it was "his". And to the extent he was ever "critical" of agencies, it was only because they said something (or leaked something) that embarrased him.

All that "drain the swamp" bullshit? The fever swamp made that up. That was never Trump's gig, not once, from the day he showed up until he fled.
All it took to "debunk" the lab leak hypothesis is to call it racism. So easy. I'm sure someone from China must have realized by now how convenient of a "get out of jail free card" this is.
I haven't lost any friends, but I've trimmed down friendships with non-libertarian men and women I knew, and I don't regret it. There's no point in having such friends.

I still maintain friendships with libertarian friends, some of them I haven't seen for many years. I don't have fewer close friends than I'd like.
I suppose the parent poster referred to the recent spat related to a navy admiral who advised troops to read Ibram Kendi's book advocating racism under the guise of anti-racism [1]. There have been more such clashes but this is one of the most visible examples. If this divisive ideology really gets a hold on the US armed forces it will be an enormous boon for potential opponents since it will demoralise troops just as effectively as it managed to demoralise police forces all over the USA. The results of the latter can be seen clearly by the number of officers deciding to quit and the increase in crime rates all over the USA.

We can only hope that the former will not become apparent - and I'm saying this as a European. The USA exports its culture quite effectively to our parts of the world, both the good parts as well as the bad. The latter category includes a bevy of critical theory spin-offs which have grown like wildfire in academia from where they managed to escape into the real world where they're wreaking havoc. While it is clear that these movements are self-extinguishing due to their dependence on an ever-increasing number of identity groups vying for a position in the oppression hierarchy the amount of damage they can do - and have already done - to societal cohesion is enormous.

Modular home manufacturing has been around for many decades. It certainly has a role to play, but if it were that much better it would have put the traditional contractors out of work long ago.

The main problem is transportation. You can make every box the size of a standard shipping container, and thus greatly reduce your home design options and size of rooms while still spending plenty on shipping. Or you can make bigger boxes, which gives you more design flexibility but still a lot less than stick building does. And with the bigger boxes you need special highway permits, escort vehicles, etc.

And then, when you have everything on site, there's still a lot to be done. Tree clearing, grading, excavation, concrete work, paving, utility lines, on-site assembly of the boxes (using an expensive crane)...

When you've added it all up, modular isn't the obvious improvement that it seems to be at first glance.

that can lead to a lot of toxic situations and is not sustainable long term; it breaks expectations all across the board of fair arbitration that a manager/leader is supposed to do
You needn't feel like a d*ck. Just realize that when people call you or text you it is on there time; however, replying does not need to be on their time - but on your own time. I have found if I forcefully and succinctly communicate that - it works.

I deal with it this way: The people I care about I frankly say "Look, I only prefer to communicate at certain intervals during the day because I'm usually in flow or focused. Please text and call, but realize if I don't answer it was because I was in that state. Sometimes I come out shortly, sometimes it is a few days".

Texts, calls, etc go unanswered until I'm ready on my time.

You'll have to tailor to the person though... some extroverts forget everything they read and/or have low impulse control, some introverts forget everything they hear.
> Is your claim that any improvement to the system will inevitably conflict with a centralized authority — like a regional government that has to approve commerce or land use? Is your argument that it’s a political problem because it’s not, actually, distributed?

In the United States, most centralized authorities do not make decisions in the way you imply. There isn't a single decision maker, from President Biden down to any particular state Governor that is able to exercise authority to materialize an infrastructure project. Thus regional governments are themselves highly political in their decision making; you cannot simply get the local magistrate to buy into the project and suddenly the coast is clear.

Let's take a concrete example that is strictly easier. Let's consider broadband internet connectivity. Google attempted to disrupt local internet providers via Google Fiber. They failed at that attempt. [1]

Not only did Google face issue getting approval from municipal governments, they were opposed by entrenched existing interests and faced continuous lawsuits attempting to delay their efforts and increase their costs.

Now consider that any new transportation network would face the same political opposition and be even more controversial. After all, fiber optic cable is a proven technology and there were no technical challenges to deploying it - all of the issues were purely political. Those issues would be an order of magnitude greater with any significant new transportation network.

The problem is that the TPM holds a secret that even the user cannot access despite being the owner.

This is a very significant win and critical to 'zero trust', which is now something the government is telling people to embrace.

If the government is really saying the equivalent of "trust us, but not the people you usually trust", that should a huge warning sign. The analogies to 1984 are disturbingly close.

Corporates are constrained by application dependencies (not OS), and will likely be the last to adopt Win11 (given how long it took to migrate off win7 to win10 the last round).
No. Every TPM has a factory-supplied unique key called the endorsement key, but every other key on the TPM is randomly generated on the TPM. The keys you actively use /can/ be tied back to the endorsement key, but there's no need for them to be - for most cases, any cryptographic material you generate on the TPM will be indistinguishable from material you generate on the CPU, other than to the local client.
> You have a right not to be intentionally offended.

Seems lots of people get intentionally offended nowadays... Only the intention is their own.
We are, to put it simply, too entertained with our technologies to expend the initial effort to "touch some grass", meet people in real life. But we still need connection with people, so we invented technological tools that allow us to quickly and easily get in touch with others. Although the quality and satisfaction we get from this form of communication are much lower, it requires much less initial effort and hassle, so we accept it.
