No drawbacks over what? Over WhatsApp before they got e2e?
Compared to telegram both of these are 5+ years behind. And have a different use case for a lot of users. Telegram being some kind of social media IM with a focus on public content and pubic messaging where the whole security thing is moot anyway.
Personally >99.9% of my messages on telegram are public or at least accessible by strangers which I have zero reason to trust. There is no point encrypting such messages. They are similar to HN comments. I consider these messages public but still like the fact that neither google nor FB indexes or analyses them to send me spam/ads.

>for a messenger that advertises as secure

Its p much PR nonsense but to be fair it also come from the early days when telegram was the only IM with any e2e that had a relevant market share. I think its understandable that they will not remove "secure" from the description after all those years, it would raise some eyebrows if they would suddenly no longer say is secure ryt?

+1 for sled--I was working with it this morning for a personal project, and it's frankly just really well built. Beside the great documentation and easy use, I kept finding myself looking for architectural tips for structuring Config structs, etc. because I could do a lot worse than end up coding something that is similarly nice to use.
We do regulate body armor though.
Exactly. Whenever I see something like this (e.g. Philippines police has also bulldozed some expensive cars recently) I always wonder if they actually are idiots or have extracted the valuable internal parts first.
> The problem I have with both phones [Pixel 4a, Galaxy S10e], especially the Galaxy, however is that they are several years old

That appears untrue. The Pixel 4a was released in August 2020, so less than a year ago. It has guaranteed software updates until August 2023. (Or maybe until November 2023, unclear which model the author is referring to.)
That tells you that "marketplace of ideas" is a dumb idea, because we already have proved a million times that people are not the rational creatures that we were sold we were for a long time. We are smart apes, but apes none the least: emotionally driven by our limbic system, very tribal and status seeking. Prone to rationalize all these basic impulses in a million different ways creating the illusion of rational individualism. The algorithms just shows us our true nature, don't make the mistake of shooting the messenger.

I'm on an iphone 12 mini, have the same issue (I emailed you some screenshots before seeing this comment in the HN post, but it's the text box where I'm naming a new checklist and also the text entry when I'm adding items to an existing checklist).

As a workaround I created some automations in Shortcuts to turn light mode on when I open the app and turn it back to dark when I close it.
For the USB part, would adding a extra USB adaptor card (assuming it's a desktop machine) and using PCI-passthrough/VFIO on that adaptor make it easier? From my knowledge of QEMU, then no USB emulation is involved - the guest OS sees the entire USB adaptor (and the host doesn't) - so one can have all the special USB hardware connected to that.
Yes, I miss that calming crackle telling me that my PC didn't lock up and it's just chugging along. And the floppy boot sound. Objectively worse but still nostalgic.
There are a few variants on that. One kind just overdoses the weed with fertilizer. One zaps weeds with a laser. One just stomps on them. A small one from WalMart takes out weeds with a string trimmer.

I think this is a case where the meaning of the parent can be taken multiple ways, and one of the HN rules is to take the more generous case. My interpretation is that they are saying they see the purpose of needing some type of cue when CPU usage is high, but didn’t realize that they were using the fan speed as a proxy for CPU utilization until this was posted, at which time, they put 2 and 2 together. That’s not saying that the product is bad or not, just an anecdote.
This isn't anything to do with inflation, it's just old-school cost cutting.

I don't actually know what Windows components mingw supports in detail and how often mingw is updated because of that, but I guess that the important Win32 APIs are stable. I suppose that the new APIs which are highly in flux could be supported by separate packages, like this: https://github.com/marlersoft/zigwin32)
Bitcoin price is identical globally. The price of bitcoin in USD/GBP/EUR is pretty much the same with respect to the values of each currency. There may be outliers, eg. Venezuela, but that's because it might be priced in the local currency, which is itself inflating at a rapid pace, so it loses value against bitcoin and the dollar or euro

You can't censor the left. You might be able to silence them for a time, but reality has a liberal bias and the same ideas will always resurface. It's ironic that they are called the conservative ones really since their schemes perpetually change to suit themselves.

I mean... yes? People are ultimately responsible for their own worldview and vote. They are also perfectly entitled to consume any information from any source they please, aren't they?
We never changed our behavior, we simply outsourced it to East Asia, where there are few meaningful environmental regulations, and an even greater cost to human rights.

IMHO we made the situation much worse. You just don’t see it because the average American or European hasn’t been to mainland China where the smog is so thick you can’t see down a city block and the rivers and waterways so polluted they change color. But unfortunately the ignorant will brag about how we have done something to help with environmentally conscious vehicles or activities while doing little to help solve the actual problems.
Or fake ones but that's not the point.
The only reason I mentioned it is because OP's usage caught me off guard. Most of the time in colloquial usage I've seen PC used as an acronym to mean "computer with Windows installed as the OS", especially when being compared to Apple's products.

But in this case it was used as "desktop computer", which sounded strange to me as I consider laptops, however portable, to be personal computers.

This is OP, but that is amazing.

I tried reading 1GB CSV and add all the rows into Sqlite, and it definitely takes minutes. This happens to both JS and python.

Constructing a giant INSERT should already exceed 1 minutes (or transforming any 1gb-sized string).

>Telegram doesn’t make money, or at least it doesn’t generate revenues, as of 2019. Durov pointed out on a blog post that he “believes in fast and secure messaging that is also 100% free.”

Durov might as well be paying lip service here. Telegram reserves the right to change its ToS. Facebook didn't spy on 100% of its users actions when it started. It was a picture rating service. The business model came after. Durov still has money left after he was forced out of VKontatke. He's in no rush to cash in. There's no telling when Telegram will be sold: it's not a non-profit and can be sold any moment.

I can understand philanthropy, but given how Durov has paid zero dollars over the past 8 years to cryptographers to design a protocol that ACTUALLY locks him out of terabytes of insanely valuable user data, I find it hard to believe his motives are pure.

With Moxie and Signal I can trivially say it's not a CIA front despite any money from Radio Free Asia, because I can check the end-to-end encryption works and protects every message. Given Durov's background in information warfare and disinformation, connections to Russia etc. and him having access to almost 100% of users' content and metadata, I can't say with confidence Telegram isn't an SVR (Russian NSA) front.
Windows? No fscking way. Backwards compatibility is Windows strength.

Linux? Sometimes. Trying to run DXX-Rebirth in a modern Linux is an exercise in frustration.

The Windows version still runs flawlessly in Windows 10.
No one (that I've seen) is suggesting to include those SDKs, which you probably don't even have the rights to redistribute anyways.

I provided both Zig and Go as examples of what people are looking for, and their downloads are neither obscenely large nor do they include those massive SDKs.

So yes, you have a weird definition of "target" that no one else here is using, and it is disingenuous for the conversation. rustup can already add additional targets after installation, are you suggesting this downloads 10GB SDKs? Definitely not, and that sounds irrelevant. (Even once you do this, the toolchain experience is not as good as what Zig or Go offer.)

Compare what Zig and Go do to what Rust does, not some strawman argument that would require users to download 10GB of SDK with the Rust toolchain. Alternatively, find me someone who is saying they think these multi-gigabyte SDKs should be included, because I don't see that anywhere in this conversation.

People here are complimenting what Zig currently does, which takes less than 40MB compressed. Zig can cross compile to Windows just fine. There are limitations to everything, but what Zig and Go offer is strictly better than what Rust offers in terms of the out-of-box cross compilation experience, and it isn't unduly burdensome on the developers like your proposed 10GB download.
Second this recommendation. And if you’re used to sci-fi by Western authors, books by Cold War, Iron Curtain authors like Strugatsky, Lem (Polish) and others are fascinating.
Agreed. I usually laugh at TV shows and movies that use a bunch of beeps and boops in their computer scenes.[1]

But sometimes I actually want that! Like, if there was a switch I could flip to turn on audio cues every time a window's contents are updated, or new lines appear in a terminal window. And every window update would be tagged with a different sound for error, warning, info, success, etc.

I know you can configure your terminal to play a BEL sound, but I'm looking for something system-wide. I want it like the movies, so I can pay attention to something else and not have to check in on the progress of my compilation or transcoding or long download.

Isn't it disturbing how we all just sort of stopped hearing about the Epstein case? Doesn't that reveal the stranglehold of censorship that powerful people have on the media, when there is a clear risk to their financial interests and reputations?

The story should have been headlining for a year as every sordid fact was uncovered, but people seem to have largely forgotten about it. Everyone seemed to be aligned against this person and what they did, but somehow the media didn't care much to dig into the details. I doubt your average person could mention more than a couple of high profile people that Epstein rubbed shoulders with (Likely "Trump" and "Bill Clinton").

This - the solution isn't to compell overly large websites or web hosts to carry speech that they don't want. It's to use antitrust law to break them up so more smaller websites can viably carry whatever they want.

Now there should also be a clear demarcation of what internet services need to be a common carrier vs not. Let's say bandwidth, colocation, ip address allocation, and domain registration services were required to take all comers. Then if you want to have your gay commie gun club forum, you could get a domain, buy your own hardware, put it up in a colo facility, get bandwidth and ip addresses, and then have an uncensored presence on the net.

As per usual there is a lot of weird hatred of Docker and K8s on HN.

Docker isn't a complex tool and it doesn't take 200 hours to learn enough to be proficient. I have to imagine all of these folks tried to learn Docker 5 years ago and got burnt and refuse to try it again.

At its core, you create a Dockerfile which builds on top of a base image. You tell it what files to copy over and which commands to run to get the system in the state you want it. Then you build the image which runs through all those steps and gives you this reusable snapshot. You can create containers using this image locally or you can push it up to a registry and let any of your systems run that exact same service.

You absolutely don't have to use Docker, if you're happy using plain VMs why switch?

Kubernetes certainly takes longer to learn so I can understand why there is more frustration around it. Though once you learn it, it feels like you've got a super power. Being able to abstract yourself away from the underlying infrastructure is freeing.

My co-founder and I originally tried to cut costs by using Terraform + Ansible to provision and maintain all of our infrastructure on basic VMs rather than using Kubernetes which is always more expensive. But we quickly decided it was worth the extra expense to use K8s for all the nice things we get with 0 effort.

All that being said, all of us techies get way too in the weeds on all of these things that don't matter. Don't listen to what others are telling you that you need to use. If you prefer to install apps directly on your VMs, keep doing that. If you find Docker gives you a better QoL like it does me, use that instead. All the time you spend on infrastructure work is time that you could be working on new features!
I eat a lot of vegetables and a lot of fake meat.

1. Vegetables have less protein (and fat)

2. Lab grown meat is essentially a vegetable for the aspects that make vegetables desirable.

3. Nearly every vegetable is already severely unnaturally genetically engineered.
My 2013 Ford was delivered with a 2G modem, and had a recall to upgrade it to 3G. I guess when that goes offline, the online features will be totally abandoned. The final (presumably) radio firmware already significantly reduced utility of them anyway, the system no longer wakes up for network to car requests, so might as well not make them.
That is no doubt true (about how the algorithms work). At the same time what we see is that there is a market, demand, for misinformation. And some people are making money from that.

Why is there so much misinformation about Covid vaccines and vaccines in general? Because people want to believe in such misinformation and because that allows websites to make money from their readership. Therefore the peddling of misinformation continues.

It is not so different from what publications like National Inquirer and Weekly World News have been doing for a long time. But instead of paying for National Inquirer you can now get such misinformation for free on the web, because you are paying for that by spending your time seeing the advertisements. Information wants to be "free" whatever that means, but people want misinformation, to give them the feeling they are right about their prejudices.

My understanding is that one-way functions are not broken by quantum computers.
Again, you don't know how to compute the function which creates the mapping, so you don't know the results, so you don't know how to sort the results. I don't follow the logic which claims your inability to compute something is now an intrinsic property to the resulting set. I do understand that sortability is a property intrinsic to integers.

I am a long time ProtonMail customer, but I admit to switching back to Gmail every few months, then a while later switching back. I mostly use Apple's Calendar.

Because of the nature of their encryption, you can only search using email subject lines with their web clients. I run the Proton Bridge on my laptop just in case I need to search my email. Since most cellphones now have a lot of storage, I really wish the ProtonMail web client would optionally maintain a search index in local device storage (as an option). This would allow me to search my emails on any device. Or, they could make the Bridge available on iOS and Android - this would allow the use of any email clients on mobile and fix search.
Zig looks really compelling. Anyone use it in production?
The author appear to be using OnePlus 3T which uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 with X12 LTE Modem. It support VoLTE with AMR-WB but not EVS. I doubt EVS is a hard requirement until VoNR in 5G. But not supporting it seems strange.

In the old days Network require certification for phones to work. I am not sure if that is the case in US but for many part of the world that is no longer required.

It could also be the lack of band support if AT&T forces VoLTE on certain band, but I also think that is extremely unlikely.

Edit: Turns out AT&T operate on a whitelist system [1] ( What ? ) with a list [2] of phones. Sort of surprised but also not so surprised coming from an US Mobile Carrier.

At least US is moving quickly to drop 2G and 3G and refarm those spectrum along with dropping circuit switch backend. But mobile cost is still ridiculously expensive.

One of the reasons iOS feels smoother than Android is because the render loop of the OS is decoupled from the app. The apps aren’t allowed to introduce jank, so if you’re scrolling a webpage and stuff is loading simultaneously, iOS will be way smoother. I think this is also why they can have such low latency on inputs, for example with the Apple Pencil which is much lower latency than the surface pen or the android stylus. I had a 120hz android phone for over a year, and while the frame rate when scrolling is slightly worse on iOS, overall the OS feels more fluid to me. On a 120hz iPad it’s no comparison.

I am speculating here as I don’t know for sure, but I remember iOS started as a derivation of OSX so this may be the case for macOS as well. So I think it’s not your imagination, it’s a different input and render architecture than windows or android.
> and such views actually start to impact the uptake

I’m not sure that’s how the chain of causality works. We have 80s-style public health communication that isn’t effective today. People are looking for a reason to reject it. If not the 5G chip stuff, it’d be something else.
That certainly limits their universality, but you can imagine a network of fast trains when there’s ground and boats, or something faster on sea, when there’s none, to substitute to flying.

Ekranoplanes use the ground effect, which requires to be close to a flat surface, indeed, but the larger the place, the further you can be. Something the size of a 747 could be a couple dozen meters above the waves and fly smoothly above moderately rough sea.

Maybe try telegram someday? Because you dont seem to know what it can do? The features is has are NOT possible with e2e. Its not an implementation flaw its a implementation decision they made on purpose and clearly explained in their FAQ why they made it.

How come no other messenger simply copies telegrams feature but with e2e?
Also what exactly is the point of e2e chats if every user that joins gets a key to decrypt the whole chat. Its completely useless "security".
Can confirm, had my XR stolen. Contacted on whatsapp via a number that I put as the lost message (displays when you turn the phone on).

Story was, this girl from Italy bought my phone on ebay but then saw my message and then took it to the Apple store. Someone from the apple store would contact me to arrange recovery of my stolen phone.

Couple hours later I got a message from another number asking for me to log in to my iCloud account and arrange an appointment using this link. Opened the link and about to type my details in then I saw the domain wasn't quite right. Looked into it, realised it was a phishing attempted and bailed on that.

I know they can't access the phone whilst it's still on my iCloud account so it will remain there, in lost mode, until the heat death of the universe.
