Most first world countries have an infatuation with construction and property that seems unsustainable, especially as property prices rise and land ownership continues consolidating up the economic ladder.

A few countries have caught themselves in a bubble, and my country in particular (Australia) does everything it can to make sure it doesn't pop. There are numerous government grants for home-buyers, every time we have a financial crisis it's the construction and banking industries that get all the grants and bailouts, and even during the various COVID lockdowns there have been schemes to prop up construction. Government and council platforms are almost always based around construction projects, rarely reform or social programs.

I get why, without these schemes, the house of cards would come falling down. But at some point endless construction will have to slow down, and we'll need to make a more sustainable relationship with construction and property.
What makes you believe the two aren't overlapping to some degree?

Here is a Guardian article talking about German zealous conspircay nuts organizing a anti-vax protest in Australia:

The other fundamental issue is that despite increases in productivity, real wages have been largely stagnant for 30 years.

Our paychecks seem to grow much more slowly than our healthcare costs, housing prices, university tuition, etc.

Finances are a huge factor in whether or not people have children.

And speaking as someone who was raised evangelical, there's not much in that religion specifically encouraging people to have children.
Show HN: We're releasing Matterlist, our Wunderlist replacement, as a free app
Congratulations to them on the fundraising.

> However, there are no plans to use cryptocurrency incentives in Matrix or Element any time soon.

Good.

At least with this funding, I can clearly explicitly see they are NOT implementing a secret cryptocurrency coin to be listed on an exchange, but instead they are focused on improving the security and privacy features of Element and Matrix.

Well done!
FWIW, I have a very distinct memory of the time OOM decided to kill init (pid 1), which was the most incredibly incompetent choice it possibly could have made ;P.
Founder here. 6 years ago, in 2015, we set out to build Matterlist (https://matterlist.com/), a to-do list app to replace Wunderlist (and Astrid, if anyone still remembers it). Here’s my old HN comment about it: https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=VladimirGolovin&next.... We formed a team (self-funded out of my pocket, no venture capital), built the mobile versions, released them -- and failed to get any adoption.

To cut our costs, we’re releasing Matterlist as a fully free app (no up-front price, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases) with local-only data storage -- Matterlist now stores data on your device only, and you can export and import the database for manual backup.

The updated mobile app is now available for both iOS and Android. Unfortunately, the desktop / web version didn’t make it, and currently there are no plans to release it, so Matterlist will remain a mobile-only app.

If you have any questions, I’ll be happy to answer.
Absolutely not, unfortunately. One of the architectural issues plaguing even comparatively memory-safe languages is the fact that there is a global scope that's accessible from anywhere. In some Python versions even numbers or truth values could be redefined. [0]

This makes it impossible to sandbox functions or imported modules, because they can communicate arbitrarily. But communication/access security is not the only problem. Resource security is something I haven't seen any significant language (besides Java perhaps) try to approach - being able to limit the memory and cpu usage of a (part of a) program. Modern languages should make it possible to do both with just a few lines of code.

I recommend reading about Capability Security[1], the E language[2] and the Principle of least Authority (POLA) [3]

Just to play devil’s advocate: anytime a new idea comes along there will always be someone advocating for the status quo, and that the status quo is inevitable.

I am reminded of the financial commentator on the radio in the early 2000’s predicting that Amazon would fail because it had stopped offering free shipping.

These primal reflex arcs are suppressed by pyramidal circuits from the brain as they mature, essentially overriding them. This is one set of neurological tests of damage to the higher spinal cord/brain in adults; those reflexes can re-appear due to again limited inhibition.
''After all, remembering dozens of unique passwords is almost impossible.''

It's not dosens but hundreds, and it is impossible if the passwords are secure. The article may have good information, but the advice of turning off autofill and going back to remembering passwords is terrible.
> Can we achieve prosperity without economic growth?

It's extremely difficult. Progress is almost always related to new products and services. Imagine developing those under the constraint of no economic growth. "We can't grow economically, so we can't develop this new vaccine unless we close all the coffee shops in town."

> Because at a point, we sure can't have prosperity with continuous population growth.

That's a different thing. In theory, one can have economic growth without population growth, at least for a time and in certain range. The economists call it "productivity"[1]; it measures how big is the lever that each worker uses to produce. I guess that we could, with the current population of Earth, have sustained economic growth without population growth for centuries, just by equalizing-up productivity across all population sectors and countries.

With that said, even the current human population of Earth is quite a stress on the planet. In the best world, we would find more and better places to live, so that we can leave our planet be and have the freedom to have families as big or small as we like.

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Productivity
We cannot strive for a continuous growth of the population since the earth's resources are finite. Someday we will have to stop, or regress; it's just that every generation does not want to be the one with more retirements and pensions over the shoulders of the working class.
In most other countries, that same level of critical care would not even come close to $10M. The sticker price of healthcare in the US is so wildly inflated as to be meaningless.
If you really cared about the topic, you'd see beyond your favorite language getting rekt, because let's be honest - it's shit because of people who are using it.

And that's why we can't have nice things - shortsighted manchildren like you are making it impossible.
After reading your post, I was curious how the chicken/egg problem was solved at that time. Searching for "first cars gas stations" on Google, I found https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filling_station which states

"The first drive-in filling station [...] opened to the motoring public [...] on December 1, 1913 [...]. Prior to this, automobile drivers pulled into almost any general or hardware store, or even blacksmith shops in order to fill up their tanks."

So gas stations have actually not been built in a large upfront effort, but existing infrastructure was used to distribute gas.
Everyone in these comments mentions C and C++ as a single word, which frankly has nothing to do with reality. C++ is a FAR safer language than C, if you wish to use it properly (which many don't). I write C++ full time at work and I also use it a lot in my free time and I rarely if ever have out of bounds accesses, use after free or any of these bullshit errors. If you use modern C++ and AdressSanitizer and don't do anything too "fancy" then it's very hard to get those types of bugs. I firmly associate them with C and C alone. These time are over for modern C++. The people commenting here clearly have no idea what modern C++ even looks like.
WebUSB and Web Bluetooth are actually very useful in very specific circumstances. I've seen several internal projects use it to communicate with obscure proprietary hardware that would otherwise require my company (mostly a web dev shop) to rewrite or extend the code with a native component only a few people could maintain reliably.

For most people this stuff is unnecessary, which is why there's permission prompts to these APIs, bbut for certain use cases they're very convenient. Google made a tool that allows flashing firmware onto their Pixel devices directly from websites instead of requiring admin permissions to install some kind of one-off binary tool, for example. Then there's the ESPHome flasher which is very convenient.

ActiveX allowed for breaking out of the web sandbox and running native code, these new APIs don't. They allow more direct communication with devices, but only with permissions and even then with limitations.

If I want a website to communicate with a device, I'd prefer it if they'd stick to the web sandbox instead of requiring a native tool. These APIs help prevent an ActiveX world where everything needs an app that runs native code, with all security implications that comes with, and help people stick to the web sandbox.

Perhaps that's why Apple refuses to implement certain APIs, they make billions from the ActiveX world that has come out of the app store.
Is it normal to violate the deliberate use case of a PDF file?
Of course it can't be proved, but there is a lot of knowledge that is extremely unlikely to be transmitted to the next generation. For example, if you had lived in a place for your childhood and then moved away, and your children hadn't had access to the property, I could ask you detailed questions about the room layout of your house, the geography of your town, to draw the outline of the mountains you would have seen out of your childhood bedroom window, etc. It would be very hard to transmit that to your children, although it would be easy to forget (especially at 122!) so your inability to produce these recollections would not be evidence of fraud but your ability to produce them would be some evidence against it.

Sometimes the backing database is a legacy system that can only accept certain encodings or symbols.
You got it right. Translating from a logical design to a physical design requires following rules laid out by a foundry for a given process node (5nm, 7nm etc.). To check if a physical layout confirms to a node, Design Rule Checking [1] is performed as part of the Physical Verification step in EDA [2]. The simulation/checking is highly complex and takes hours (sometimes days) even with sufficient parallelization. Once a design passes the checks, it is deemed ready for manufacture by the foundry.

What does https://matterlist.com/matterlist-free.html mean? Is development stopped now?

I understand your reasons for switching off sync, but unfortunately this makes the app unusable for everyone with more than one device in regular use. So about everybody.

Would there be a way to sync using Dropbox or iCloud?

Still, the app looks good, I'm sorry your business ideas didn't work out.

Have you seen the Coalition for App Fairness? As someone who's had trouble with his parents, seeing Qustodio on there made me cringe. Mozilla is not a member.

I totally understand your point, but I've been following Linux to some capacity for a little over a decade and this entire time, Mozilla has been the "friend" of the Linux community that it can't decide if it wants around or not. There have been so many Mozilla "controversies" that have gotten the Linux community up in arms that I've seen people think that Mozilla operates by building up goodwill and then, doing things to create negative attention. Apparently, there's a name for that.
To be precise: 400k or higher is a salary only paid at the top 30 (Dax companies) to C-Level executives.

If you own the business there are other tiers of compensation available, but employees in Germany very rarely make more than 150k in any position. CEOs of medium sized businesses up to 500 employees would likely not be compensated more than 200k. Other C-level even less.
Substack is funded by VCs, as noted in The Famous Article.

Hopefully they also improve the UX and new user onboarding experience in order to gain wider adoption. I really want to promote Matrix for communities where I am involved but it lacks the product-orientation of Discord and Slack.
Can someone ELI5 what this POC actually does? As someone with little experience w/ iOS internals or its kernel, I’m not sure what I’m looking at.

The effect is on the petitioners. By signing the petition it puts that issue more front and center in their minds. They will be more aware of this issue going forward, for example when it comes time to vote or make a consumption decision. If you sign a petition against Nestle you are probably more likely to avoid their products in the future (causatively, i.e. the act of signing itself makes you less likely to buy Nestle, since you've put your name out there publicly against Nestle).
An statistical approach like that has the flaw any the most used language would always appear to be at the top of the "most unsafe".

Instead, people should be schooled to write better code. Thats it. Don't let some random new employee with no certifications write safety-critical code. Don't hire people who are under qualified. Its really that easy.

I have no idea, honestly, how you would introduce a use-after-free bug with C++'s smart pointers. Its the lack of schooling, the lack of certification, and the lack of a safety-focused selection of applicants, not a language that you can write bad code in if you ignore all warnings and advice.

Even rust has unsafe{}, but I dont see anyone complain when thats used to introduce safety issues, because "youre not supposed to do that, even though technically you could".

You can have all the safety mechanisms in a language, but you need control, too, and anyone who is completely unqualified will use that to break something.

Windows by default only shares within your local network. Optionally you can turn it on for the wider internet and it does not seem to use that much data in my experience.

It can solve some project management issues for large scale teams. But it highly depends on how a company uses it. It is not mandatory to organize work though and I have only seen in companies you might not want to develop for.

This is a highly fractured environment where there is alot of distrust and animosity between all the parties.

To put this into context, retinal waves (essentially self-propagating excitations along the retina) pre-birth have been known to exist and help neural organization for what must be 20-30 years. What's new in this paper is that they additionally confirmed that the direction of the propagating waves coincided with the mouse's typical optical flow pattern, essentially helping priming motion-detection neurons in addition to the well-known edge-detection neurons early.

I wouldn't compare this to dreaming really, it's a very different process where top-down connections hallucinate sensations. This is a completely bottom-up process, it's more or less like a test-bench connected to the optic nerve generating moving edges pre-birth.

That will just convince people to buy a Hyundai (Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6), a Volkswagen (Porsche Taycan, Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo, Audi e-tron GT), or a Lucid Air. They all charge faster and come with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The problem for modern C++ is that few (or zero?) code bases contain exclusively "modern C++" when you include all transitive dependencies. You end up using a huge amount of C and "legacy C++" just by virtue of reusing code.
Apple chooses not to keep up. They obviously would have the resources and technical competence to do it if they wanted to.

But cui bono? Apple benefits directly from crippling the web since it protects their App Store monopoly, they happen to have the perfect means of crippling the web by ensuring there will be no browser competition on iOS, and it is the area where theyre shipping their worst software. It is hard to believe that it is a coincidence rather than a cynical corporate optimization game.

> The economy of the developed world for the last two centuries now has been built on demographic expansion

No, demographic expansion has been a side effect of technological development, which has also been the basis of the economy. That's been true not only in the two centuries and change since the first industrial revolution, but its also been true for the hundred centuries or so since the first agricultural revolution.

That's kind of been petering off recently, the most obvious conclusion being that it is because agricultural and industrial capacity is no longer the limit on population, so continued development isn't fueling further growth.
The corollary is, that opposition to birth control while ignoring all the other factors you mentioned plays a huge role here - to the detriment of those involved, I would argue.
Wouldn't the problem be self correcting, then? Incompetent inheritors waste their ancestors hard earned wealth on Lamborghinis, bad investments, casinos etc. The money returns to the wider economy (Lamborghini engineers, real estate taxes, tips for cocktail waitresses). After 3 generations the problem solves itself. Those families who remain rich may be the most intelligent ones.
The same way you can write safe modern C++ and only use unsafe features of the language when its necessary and isolated, but thats also considered unsafe, so Rust should be, too

Fair point - but they are very close. The fact that at least some hybrids are more green than some full electric cars tells something.

But this ranking doesn't include the other factors like price tag or convenience (range, time to refuel). If you additionally count these factors in, it turns out hybrids are the fastest way to get emissions down by bringing environmental friendly cars to the masses. They are a solution that exists today, and they are a plug-in replacement for ICEs. I can see hybrid cars very frequently on the streets, but fully electric cars not so much - so the effects on lowering emissions is bigger for HEVs than for BEVs. And you don't need to donate them to convince people to buy.

Also a lot depends on where you get electricity to charge the BEV from. In theory you can charge only from renewable energy sources, but in many areas you still burn fossil fuels, and in these areas hybrids are way more ecofriendly:
