Bit of a non-sequitur, but I always laugh whenever I read a blog where someone finally discloses all of the gripes they had with their last Mac while transitioning to the new one. Of course, this new Mac is better than the old one, and won't be susceptible to the same issues they had last time.

Frankly, it all just makes me happier to be out of the ecosystem. I love the fact that there are people like you willing to write beautiful, functional and native system apps, but it also hits me with a pang of sadness when I hear that you spent 7 months salary on a device that will merely give you the ability to package and distribute apps to a certain platform. It's frankly dystopian, and I get the feeling that Apple will continue to edge out "lower-level" software like this in their bid to "increase userland security" (see: gimping MacOS APIs).
Considering how frequently I find people who just don't like what I have to say accusing me of being bought off by some state, company, or other entity, I find such accusations less than compelling when thrown around on so little evidence.

I believe that's an option if you connect to tour using a bridge, but that's not the default.
hmm. not sure it’s ill-advised. I have a “burner” email in the about box and all the conversation I’ve had up until now were productive. YMMV
> So aside from “just stop buying from Amazon” what can we do ?

As far as I can see, there are only two forces potentially big enough to fight a big corporation today:

1. Another equally big corporation.

2. The federal government.

The fact that US anti-trust enforcement has been essentially non-existent means that #1 is almost gone these days. Citizens United allowed corporations to buy politicians, so it seems that #2 is dead too.

It sucks.

Here’s the abstract.

The ISO C standard C99 has added a special keyword, named restrict to allow the programmer to specify non-aliasing as an aid to the compiler’s optimizer and to thereby possibly improve performance. However, it is the programmer’s responsibility to ensure that the annotations are correct. Therefore, in practice, restrict will be useful only when the programmer’s effort is rewarded with noticeable performance improvement. To assess the performance potential of the restrict annotation, we automatically generated best-case restrict annotations for SPEC CPU2000 benchmarks by using pointer profiling. However, even though we used the best possible restrict annotations, we found an average program speedup of less than 1% on average when using two state-of-the art optimizing compilers that implement the restrict pragma. Since the typical performance benefits do not warrant significant user effort and potential errors, we conclude that having the programmer specify non-aliasing is a bad idea.
> Thus "Moral relativism is a cancer, applied selectively by the lazy. Do better." is actually quite an ignorant statement that applies a specific moral lens to the entire world without acknowledging the lack of universality in ideals across humanity.

The existence of other frameworks of morality doesn't mean that there isn't one True Morality. It just means that some people act against it.
Taoism is thousands of years old, vastly pre-dating the CCP and its actions.
You may as well ask if we stopped humanism when we stopped using asbestos. The answer is the same: no.
You can sue in Pro Per(son) -- essential act as your own lawyer. I know someone who studied the Law so he could sue his former business partners. Most of it was a reverse deep pockets kinda game: "It will cost you $300K in legal fees to defend yourself ... or settle for a fraction of the cost." As a result, I and colleagues ignore this troll. But, there are intriguing implications ...

For example: register the site patent<patent#>.com and use the site to link to the facts. Maybe add the legal definition of "In Pro Person." Thus, when someone does a search on the Patent #, your disclosure site will appear.

Another example: Claim copyright on the expression of the idea. Thus, anyone attempting to express the patent would infringe on the copyright.

Disclaimer: IANAL. I could be off-base here. Get a valid legal opinion to save yourself some grief. And good luck!
Inter is probably my favorite font for desktop user interfaces. It’s always one of the first things I setup on a new Linux install.
I'm nervous on your behalf for your S3 bill, have you done napkin maths for how much this will cost to host, especially given the relative inefficiency of the autocomplete queries?

A trick that might help: create a separate SQLite table containing just the article titles to autocomplete against. That might give you queries that use smaller ranges of the file.
> We’re not there yet but the cycle is reminiscent of the factory owners with factory stores and pubs where the workers spend all their money during the industrial revolution.

Is it? Amazon employees (presumably) have the same options as everyone else. Many of those options are, generally speaking, cheaper than Amazon. Whatever your feelings about Amazon in general, fact that Amazon’s supposedly cash-strapped employees choose to pay a premium for convenience is not evidence of Amazon’s malevolence.
Towel not included.
I’m opposite. Of the ~5 times I got cold emailed based on my HN profile it was someone asking me if I’d be interested in a product of their startup.
The reason why I'm personally okay with buying stuff from the Everything Store is because [1] retail is a brutal business, [2] _everyone_ in retail (except perhaps the executive leadership) is treated like shit, and [3] Amazon, for all of their failings, is still absolutely obsessed with customer satisfaction.

Amazon is still one of few companies that has a completely seamless, no-BS return policy, for example.

The "sensible" alternative is to shop direct from small businesses, which I do sometimes, but see [2] from above.

I think it might be helpful to transfer information that you have online that is critical, such as contacts, to hard copy. A lot of folks have mentioned some very good ways of keeping yourself safe online, but in a coup, I think some of the first things to go we’re going to be Internet access and power. Having contact information and other important details that you usually keep online, could be very useful.
You won't be able to remove your account from the device? Why?

Not sure why you got downvotes but 100 percent Australia's slow ass Vax rollout is the result of a "conservative" government. Though they are closer to resembling an authoritarian corprotocracy rather than anything truly conservative or liberal.
You are pretending that the legal definition of innocence is the same as the moral or colloquial definition.

They aren't remotely the same.
Pretty much agreed-- I can understand wanting new/junior employees to develop a good track record before complete WFH. But it also seems reasonable to let a new hire that might otherwise have to relocate across the country that level of freedom and simply deal with the issue if they don't produce: not much different than how you'd deal with a new in-person employee.

I will say that, for myself, I understand my work behavior very well. If I could choose any style, it wouldn't be complete WFH. It would be 3 days WFH, 2 days in office. Just a quirk of my personality that I tend to be more focused in the office, and the time I spend there gives me a fairly regimented view of what I need to accomplish during WFH time.

Which is completely what you said: do what worked best for each employee.
It's definitely something more common with non-x86 hardware, but at least on the H8SGL/H8DGU/H8DGi/X9D* motherboards I have from SuperMicro, there is an included RAS mode for RAM redundancy. The VMware "purple screen of death" due to DIMM failure is common enough in the production environments where I work, although not too common as to warrant actually enabling it. Nice to know the option's there though. See this PDF for example: https://www.supermicro.com/manuals/other/Memory_RAS_Configur...
> the various terrible things that could happen to 1 in 1million people

The current US COVID fatality rate is 1 in 50 cases. The incidence of measurable brain damage in survivors appears to be even higher. Even if we pretend that everyone in the entire US has already been infected (obviously false), that would still be a fatality rate of 1 in 550. Getting to 1 in a million takes some extreme stretching.

> We never made everyone stay inside with AIDS

I don't know who all needs to hear this, but you cannot get HIV from someone breathing on you. Also the government's weak/slow response to the HIV epidemic in the US is considered by many historians to have been a complete travesty of governance. I don't think it makes the great point of comparison that you intended it to.

> all viral colds have a whole slurry of symptoms that some unlucky few get

"Few" being the operative word there. The difference in risk between a cold and COVID is stark.

> I remember when some kid in my mom's second grade class died one weekend

You remember it as a weird rare event because there wasn't a global cold pandemic killing 1 in 50 people who got infected.
It’s entirely optional of course! However, I’m fairly sure that no spammer has scraped my address from here.

And obfuscation is possible for those inclined.

For example, no spammer will (in practice) parse this contact information:

But for a human HN reader it’s fairly easy to decode.
Installing water heaters is, as you know, construction.

Giving homeowners access to average contractors is a step up. Hard times are the measure of relationships.

In your case it will be when you have to choose one side of the market’s interests over the other.

Ultimately, vetting of customers is necessary. That’s equilibrium. The supply of sweet lemons is limited.

No, the reason was that she is very attractive. That sells advertising. It's as simple as that. Many of the vile things we complain about in media all come down to the business model.

> Ironically, the CDC's guidance might result in two different scenarios: excessive mask use where it won't help and inadequate mask use in places where it might help.

Sounds like a prime opportunity to do an extensive randomized real world study of mask efficacy in the presence of an airborne transmissible disease.

I say let it play out; most everyone has already chosen their sides, and only time will bear out the results. Once it's "over", adjust for or further study what societal differences contributed or caused the results, if any.
>[3] Amazon, for all of their failings, is still absolutely obsessed with customer satisfaction.

I recently had an AWS issue. Emailed our rep. Next day I was on the phone with like 8 Amazon people, high up enough to make things happen and low enough to make things happen.

It was pretty wild and yes, for all their faults, the are the most customer focused company I’ve ever worked with.
it's not the cost that matters, its the uselessness and hugely increased security risk.

We just mute ourselves when we’re not talking an close the camera lid if we’re not comfortable with it.

I used to be self conscious about it, but I think the company culture plays a role. We had these devices and this behavior way before COVID because our teams were already remote (5 people in a city in France, 2 in another, 2 in Tunisia…), this is the company way of keeping remote people close to one another. The whole company works like this because all the teas are distributed. I went from not caring about it to loving it, and if I switched company I would do my best to advocate for such a system.
In this brave new world of the new McCarthyism, not sure an honest conversation is compatible with PII.
Abuse rate limiting often relies on the scarcity of IPv4 addresses.

If, for example, you limit a user to one concurrently used account per IP (which some gaming sites do to discourage cheating/griefing by one person playing multiple players at the same time), this breaks.

This can also be revenue relevant if e.g. the ability to have multiple accounts per IP is a paid feature.
Specifically, innocent in the eyes of the law. The legal status is very different from the factual question of whether he actually did it, which is why different legal processes have different standards of proof. And also why procedural problems, which obviously don't change whether or not the event happened, can still result in the accused being found innocent in the eyes of the law.

I'd also point out that "his behaviour was not bad enough for him to be convicted of a crime" isn't exactly a ringing character endorsement. Especially when the Scottish Government messed up the prosecution, something they really shouldn't have been involved in.
Well, men do outnumber lesbians by something like 30:1. Also not sure if you have les-dar or how you know if a woman checking you out is a lesbian or is just critiquing your outfit in her mind.
I don't think I would see anything wrong with gallons per 100 miles if I was used to it. Especially if it was "gallons per megamile" or whatever.

You see (at least in the UK) dishwashers say they only use x litres of water per wash or even things like "this only costs 10p an hour running costs".

It feels like one less step to get to "how much would this car cost me for my 250 miles a week" - which seems more common than "I can afford exactly 2 gallons of petrol a week, how far can I get with this car".

Maybe I'd feel differently if we bought fuel in the same units we measured its consumption in!
I still think that the primary problem Starlink "solves" is the regulatory capture in the US. It baffles me that laying fiber cables everywhere is so expensive/impossible that literally launching things into space is the more cost-effective solution.
It seems NO.

In Soviet Union considerable part was in cooperation. And more in Stalin era then later.

Citing Russian wikipedia:

> By the end of the 1950s, there were more than 114 thousand workshops and other industrial enterprises in its system, where 1.8 million people worked. They produced 5.9 % of the gross industrial output, for example, up to 40 % of all furniture, up to 70 % of all metal utensils, more than a third of upper knitwear, almost all children's toys. The system of commercial cooperation included 100 design bureaus, 22 experimental laboratories and two research institutes.

Since the work all happens in your browser, the only victim of a long complicated query would be you own browse and the S3 bandwidth bill of the person hosting the database (since you'd end up sucking down a lot of data).

But if you want to jack up someone's S3 bandwidth bill there are already easier ways to do it!
It is a very contentious discussion, and it seems like a lot of half-educated people are sharinng opinions. The way I understand it, today's population of Taiwan largely want to be an independent state, and all those uncreative jokes about ROC being the real China actually torpedo that.

I'm generally very careful with downvotes on this platform, as I think they should only be used when something is plain wrong or detrimental to the discussion. For me, your comment falls into the second category though; it doesn't add anything to the discussion, but seeks to rile up people to start downvoting or brigading others.
Lunar is godsent.

Without automatic brightness control for my external display, I had the exact same problems the author of Lunar describes in his article, constantly and manually adjusting the brightness of my display throughout the day, with its awful on screen menu.

Before I got my Mac with an M1, I‘ve used Brightness Menulet, which also worked quite ok, but not nearly as polished and functional.

If the sample of the Metallica song is insubstantial enough then you may well prevail in court.

It's unsurprising that copilot can reproduce the most famous subroutine of all time precisely, given that it occurs in hundreds or thousands of repos.

Also that code is not copyrightable. Pure algorithms are not copyrightable, copyright of code arises from its literary qualities.

E.g. I can copy an algorithm out of an ISO spec and that doesn't make my code a derivative work of the spec requiring me to pay royalties to ISO.

When you strip out the algorithmic elements out of fast inverse sqrt, you are left with what? Single letter variable names. That is certainly far below the threshold for copyright.

Hopefully the situation would stabilize soon.

Meanwhile, if you consider yourself more in a danger to become a 'collateral damage', so to speak, in a power struggle that 'others' do, then the most reasonable strategy could be just staying-low and having sufficient resources to live through such time.

Especially so if you have something that may make your position vulnerable (family, assets, business, prominence etc).

If you don't have an imminent need to flee (hopefully your assessment is sound), then not turning attention to yourself should let you weather this period of instability, just as for the most part of the populace.

Know your friends! Don't self-incriminate, know what you keep on your devices and storage. Be like everybody, just live your life, if you can afford not to choose a side.

Have a plan B (even C) about money, not just relying on the routine access way.

Freedom of speech _is_ important. However, if you don't consider yourself part of the struggle, then just wait it out.

Stay healthy!

> low rate mortgage is making pretty easy payments (due to inflation and therefore wage inflation) but the real value of their house hasn't really gone up in value due to that same inflation.

Situations like this are not always bad... This generally will lead to more Home Improvement, and people investing in their homes making them better then dumping them on the market. I find that personally to be better for society instead of letting whole neighborhoods die due to people letting properties run down then moving when the maintenance gets to expensive.

Also inflation does not always track wages. Especially for the middle class. We are seeing that right now in some sectors, where skilled labor rates are more or less flat for the last few years (when adjusted for current inflation may even be dropping) however unskilled labor has seen pretty significant gains recently.
Sure is easy to give ourselves a good grade when we're also the judges. Shall we discuss track records of interference in external affairs? How many foreign regimes have we toppled in comparison?

Always disappointing to see such vitriolic rebuttals to the mere idea of considering a Chinese perspective.
Doesn't "the male gaze" imply there are other gazes? Otherwise, wouldn't it just be "the gaze"(as Sartre originally theorized)

Also, feminism is a big enough field that you can certainly find a feminist who supports your viewpoints, whatever they may be. Pointing to two people who support your viewpoint doesn't mean that the matter is settled - I could point to probably a hundred feminist authors who firmly believe in the male gaze.

Personally, "the male gaze" seems more of western female problem than a western male problem. Studies have shown that even anticipating that someone may look at you can increase feelings of objectification and negative mental states. I don't really know what can be done from a male's perspective if a woman may make herself feel bad by merely knowing that a man may possibly eventually look at her.
> While the “male gaze” jibe sounds enlightened and à la mode, it implicitly denies that women (especially the lesbian ones) have a gaze of their own,

No, the modifier implicitly acknowledges that there are other kinds of gaze.

I fear that West Taiwan is going to invade East Taiwan, and it’s going to happen while the President of the United States is bumbling his way through another press conference.

At my job they're leaning into WFH. We are full WFH since March 2020 with no end in sight, with higher ups reported to be satisfied with our performance and the new job listings all listed as *remote available*.

Some people really dislike it at work and appear to come into zoom calls from the office. Most of that group really appreciates how empty the office is though.

I also work for an employer that isn't a "tech player" and you wouldn't think we are more forward than Apple on this, but here we are.
