I’m yet to see people who use docker for development do it faster than People who don’t. They always end up having to mount specific folders etc which nullifies the isolAtion point and you lose so much because even something as simple as ide debugging becomes a complicated (if not impossible) task.

what stops apple from checking if you have any content they don't like of like non-pc memes and such and flag you in some databse for futher monitoring/enquiry by pc police?
Any people doing any automatic assuming likely also assumed the person is white, not homeless, well dressed, no mental health issues, and so on. It’s how things work. There’s so few people who actually feel the way you’re describing things.

Being sexist and having implicit biases is not the same thing.

The OP did apologize for getting the gender wrong so happy ending there.
True. On top of that People should now start worrying if some person on whatsapp/telegram group will share some illegal file.

I have been part of few public hiking/travelling whatsapp/telegram groups. Many times I mute those group because I don't want to be notified and distracted with every single message. All those photos someone share in any whatsapp group will end up in your iphone 'Recent' album automatically even if you muted some group many months ago and didn't check at all.
I have a Lemur Pro from System76 and it has insane battery life. I feel like I never charge it b/c it's always got juice. I run Pop_OS! on it b/c at my age I just want to get work done and not tinker with a distro.
I hear you, but this problem becomes exponentially harder as your engineering org grows.

I witness on a daily basis PRs that have no body getting merged with absolutely zero comments and a blanket approval as long as it passes our (broken) CI pipeline. I witness obvious poor quality in the code, but engineers want to seem like they are working and will just blanket approve PRs, while i'm in the middle of writing up my code review denying the PR.

If you are a developer on a team and want your codebase to be high quality, you end up no longer writing the code and instead spend all of your time gatekeeping via code reviews. This leads to burn out.

Maybe some crossed wires in the discussion - I thought your initial reply was in regard to what gp wrote about letters - and then you were saying about xrays and weapons and drugs.. which generally are not an issue with letters..

think I brought too many examples in basically trying to say flat paper.. yeah I think most people assume boxes/packages are xrayed/scanned by usps - and people do still send stuff they would not want public that way.

we are in agreement in that "They would. But this is completely incomparable to what's happening on iOS devices now."
Please tell me how you would create a website in any language with db connection without using any libraries sanely. Just serving static pages is not a webapp btw.
Was just installing this on my fancy new M1 machine... the app itself worked fine, but I'm used to Laravel Homestead. Well, that didn't go so well. VirtualBox doesn't work on M1. Tried all sorts of combination to get Laravel, PHP, Postgres working well as a combo. In the end, it was a combination of MAMP, Postgres App and quite a few tweakings to get things in order.
Home Assistant is the leader here. One of the largest projects on GitHub with a “local-first” philosophy. They have a cloud service for exposing your instance but you don’t have to use it.

I’ve been using it for years and it’s matured quite a bit recently. Combine with Zwave of ZigBee devices and the only thing you need internet for is voice assistant if you want it

There is a new EU regulation that requires certain security considerations. Sadly, all banks decided that the best way to implement those was to develop a proprietary solution for themselves and completely avoid anything even close to being standardized.
If I see a submission in a foreign language, I'll paste it into Google Translate and flag if obviously off-topic.

On the positive side does this possibly mean that glaciers would start growing again in Europe and the longer winters would in general mean more snow and reflected sunlight?
Are we doing "in-depth diagnostics" of everyone?

No.

But based on statistical evidence alone, borne out by millions of data points, not a single solitary anecdote, the vaccine works to protect you from the worse of COVID if you catch it at all.

You decry a "lack of critical thinking", but don't apply any yourself. It's just a cudgel to you to use against people who don't agree with you. Consider the simple fact that you may be wrong.

And look at you, boosting every huckster claim but ignoring the one thing that is shown to work on a large scale. Would it soothe your feelings if we just said the vaccine was an ivermectin hcq cocktail?

Because it looks like you want to "them" to be wrong more than anything else.

The canonical repo is the Linux kernel tree, so you go through there (and the DeviceTree maintainers). This is mostly for practical reasons since they are the primary consumer, but the bindings are packaged for use by other OSes too.
Why does everyone keep saying Apple introducing a backdoor?

They've always been able to launch surveillance software on a whim apparently. This is proof.
I understand your frustration — I've similarly been bitten by some changes to Firefox; however please do remember that Thunderbird is developed by a small team with limited funds and adding or even maintaining configurability is expensive.

That isn't to say that you should give to thunderbird, since they are currently disappointing you, but it is a bit of a vicious cycle.
I wrote that, yes. But my comment was about the broader situation and not just about the apps requiring root.
I strangely had the same experience with hay fever. Never suffered from it then right around 15 it hit me pretty bad. I moved countries 5 years ago and again I no longer have hay fever symptoms so for sure they are not simple.
that's not the case at all - why do you think it is? did you mix up what country this is in? did you not read the ruling?

the amount of extremely lazy and quite incorrect comments on HN has gone way up during the pandemic (or at least become much more noticable).
This is a lie. Did you try reading the actual announcement by Apple? It's right here: https://www.apple.com/child-safety/.

- The scanning will be performed only if photos are to be uploaded to iCloud.

- The database will be encrypted multiple times in a way that it can't be clearly read.

- There's not notification to Apple in any way in case of matches.

- Instead, each match result is again encrypted in a way that is inaccessible to Apple and uploaded together with photo

- If there a lot of positive matches, they eventually will become able to decrypt it. That's when they will do manual check, lock the account if it is correct and notify authorities.

Yeah but he's using reducto-ad-absurdem to illustrate the law as written is absurd in some cases. So yes you can pedanticly cite the law and have an answer to the question, but you're missing the larger discussion.

At somepoint somebody is gonna actually have to tackle that looking at images, especially fake ones, might not only be harmless, it might be safer to let people get release from their fantasies (I'd be curious to see what the research says).

Some day, people will say "Obviously nobody cares if you possess it or look at it, obviously, it's just about MAKING it."

I think this is follow the process of weed (unspeakable horror, "drugs will kill you" in dare, 1-strike expulsion from high-school or college) when I was growing up, yet now legal to even grow.
So close, she tried to time it just right to give birth during the trial, aa that could’ve gotten a lot of sympathy points with the jury.

The best part of the post is certainly the Spanish author using target.com as a generic placeholder to explain the attack, when target is an actual chain with more than 300 stores :D
The basic thing to do is to inform your choices on who you vote for for public functions.
The motivation is probably due to Star Trek. Who wouldn't want swishy Star Trek doors? Ironically they were opened by hand from behind the scenes, at least in the first shows.

Also, 'Computer, locate my husband.' 'Your husband is in the attic'. etc.
Considering how frequently my innocent images (petting my cat, taking a photo of a pepper growing in my garden, pointing to a word printed on a page in a book) trip Discord's automatic-bad-image-blocker and are unable to be uploaded to Discord because they think they are bad, I'm a little worried that when they turn this technology on, instantly many 100% innocent photos people have taken will be quietly flagged and put people on lists without them ever knowing it, and as they go through life this non-thing that they were never charged with (to be able to be found innocent) will follow them and haunt them and impact other business relationships, etc. All because of pictures a computer thought was something else.
Yes that's the case. Thunderbird does not use gnupg anymore and the enigmail extension is not needed.

However I think that Thunderbird having everything integrated in its UI, without the need to use or even install a third party program line gnupg makes the experience much better for inexperienced users.
I don't think this is a duplicate. This story is reporting on how Chromium is (at least, temporarily) restoring support for alert/prompt/confirm from cross-origin iframes.
Your anxiety might come from a feeling of uncertainty of what is to come and helplessness in face of that. In my opinion self-efficacy works wonders for mental health, so maybe pick a job or other activity actually trying to work against the world going down the drain (or at least giving you the feeling that you do) instead of accepting that it is "invariably" happening.
I always struggled with the UX around smart home.

User story: It is 5AM and you are fumbling into the kitchen in the morning to make coffee and you cant see anything. You reach out to the wall and flip the light switch into the "on" position. Memories of smartphones and voice assistants are still vague concepts on your mental horizon.

I feel like zero engineers in the smart home space have read the Don Norman book.

It's not really an exact Reddit-looking clone, but we built a tool called Newsy, which builds content aggregator like Reddit without code.

https://www.newsy.co

We focus on users with un-used domain names and try to spin up a news site like Reddit quickly with various features built in.
To use a Reddit term, ELI5 what "no code" actually means. As someone who's only ever seen the term in passing on HN, I don't understand if there's a distinction from coding in a very high level and/or visual environment. To try and make it concrete by comparing with things I've personally seen: Is LabVIEW "no code"? Is Max/MSP "no code"? Was Dreamweaver "no code"? Is building an FX pipeline in Houdini "no code"?

Interesting. They say they do, seemingly for many things, though not all[1]. Do you have more info?

Well don’t worry, there are many, many people who feel the complete opposite as you do, so the system balances out.
Yeah, I consider "smart home" to be one of those complexity feith driven developments. Switches are simple, understandable, minimally-abstracted interfaces that almost never fail. Why would I want to add a several computers and some software to that? That just brings a whole bunch of new failure modes to the table for a miniscule gain in convenience.
You're welcome.

I tried to view the video link but received an error. I posted the error contents in another post for you. I couldn't find a way to post a screenshot of the error bubble so I just posted all the text from the message.

I also think that while logged in as testuser I was able to upvote my own post. Is that allowed? Perhaps there are a few others also logged in as testuser and one of them upvoted it.

Anyway, I like this. With faster load times this could be as fun as Reddit used to be.
I like the long conversations, because it’s easier to be a fake person for 30 minutes, but comparatively it’s hard to fake being a genuine person or expert on a topic for 2 or 3 hours.
You don't have to use Docker for everything. I personally use Docker for services my application needs (Docker, Redis, etc) and Nix for the application itself.
I wonder if this is secretly brilliant stunt.

Blast on every channel message that your product will actively look for children porn store on it. Stir great debate.

And then quietly drop the proposed feature.

Your product will be viewed as unsafe to use by the pedophiles maybe even whole apple ecosystem will.
Like all new mediums, podcasting has been DIY. The content creators have had more creative control, are in charge of their own programming.

Though I don't like the Guest of the Week format, I recognize the skills of Terry Gross and others, for their medium.

The phases of experimentation and retrenchment are cyclic. Like all other mediums. The hotness in podcasting will spasm back and forth between indies and studios.

> Europeans in Canada survive and thrive.

But will European ecology, crops and infrastructure?

Europe is dependent on high yield agriculture that would basically be impossible in Canadian climate.

Canada has 38M population mostly huddled at the south of Canada -- roughly where Italy and Spain is in Europe.

Europe has 12 times more population on much smaller territory, most of it being north of Italy or Spain.
Yeah I feel the plugs are a good enough thing for now. If they are duff in ten years? So what - it was a £7 plug and I’ll get some more with a hopefully open standard by then. I’d never go all-in the way things currently are.
Anytime you’re building a new feature or product, focus first on getting something functioning end to end. From there, start to iterate on the middle piece by piece until the whole thing works the way you want.

Say you’re asked to build checkout flow for your e-commerce product. You need a shopping cart page, a shipping page, a billing page, a confirmation page, and flow out to stripe, and then a success page.

Start by creating a single page that just shows a product name, user name, address, billing address, etc, and then a button to “create”. Click it and it should call off to stripe with that dummy data, and then it display a success alert.

Now circle back and make the address and billing data input fields.

Submit again.

Now circle back and create a couple of dummy pages that you click through with the forms and a pre submit confirmation page.

Now go back and start to wire up a shopping cart page.

Etc, etc.

By creating a through line at the start, you can test everything you’re building end to end, so you can really hone in on the product experience and make sure it’s what it should be for your specific product. It also gives you more flexibility to give demos along the way, as well as release the product earlier in its maturing cycle. Maybe you won’t love the style and format, but it’ll be more than good enough to get into customers hands sooner in the process.
> They almost never reflect on the time they’ve wasted or how they don’t really understand the goals or users for the software they are responsible for.

I think the quoted statement tends to be a systematic issue on struggling projects that describes the decision makers, regardless of role.

I'm not sure how anybody can expect other outcomes than a few lucky successes and a lot of failures when understanding why you are building something seems to be undervalued by management, technical or other.
Horse ruins Annika Schleu's gold medal hopes in modern pentathlon
To this day I am baffled by the smart lighbulbs. So you take a LED light, strap a bulky AC/DC convertor to it, then also glue in a WiFi module, and also some microcontroller for managing all that stuff. Then you cram all that into E27 fitting and have problems with heat dissipation if your LED is actually about as bright as an old 100W lamp was: the capacitors give out after a couple of months of work so you have to buy a new lightbulb (and those things ain't cheap because of all of that additional stuff it has inside it).

Obviously, a sane way to do things would be to have a single microcontroller/WiFi module mounted near/inside any of traditional manual light switches, have a single AC/DC convertor near your circuit breaker box, and have it power the whole lighting wiring (from which the microcontroller would draw too) with 9V DC, and now the LEDs inside the lightbulbs will have enough space to cool properly even with size-reduced fittings.

But where is money in doing things the sensible way, right?

I use Hugo which has a themes gallery [0], which I assume is common (Edit: and as you already noted above - I should read more carefully!). I perused that for something acceptable and then tweaked it a bit. The result [1] could be better but is good enough for my purposes.

it still boggles my mind how naive people in the tech industry are, they fall for the same trick again and again over the course of decades. Same people who fell for Google's "don't be evil" and Google pretending to be better than the Evil Empire Microsoft are now shocked that Apple was really only in business for money from the start and the privacy stuff was just a marketing gimmick
Yup some evidence of this is the way that Android presents "large files" for deletion. It insists on showing you a flat view, not a hierarchy, which is very annoying to me. I want to know which folders are biggest, but it doesn't support that. Only files.

Yeah. It can be a real challenge, ensuring quality on a team.

The obvious answer, is to hire experienced, skilled, capable engineers, and instill in them, the same reverence for Quality that you have.

Like I said, Quality is expensive. Very few companies like to pay the premium.

Knowing what I know about these kind of consultancies and "concursos publicos" in Spain, I wonder if you saw any illegal or at least shady activity or conversations going on? Are you not concerned about being sued for this prodding? Spanish companies are known for prosecuting white hat hackers.
If your company uses Office 365, these guys have a plugin that I think parses the HTML website to get your mail (and calendar!) into Thunderbird:
https://www.beonex.com/owl/

Just this week I gave them 10 Euros for the addon because my company refuses to enable IMAP for Office 365. I'm not affiliated with them, but I've been using the Tbird addon for a few weeks and it works perfectly. The license is per-year, though I guess that makes sense because I expect that it needs to be updated whenever the Office 365 site is updated.

> I’d venture it is because Firefox is developed by a for-profit corporation with hundreds of millions in revenue.

I think a lot of people are confused about this, myself included. A lot of people want to donate directly to Firefox for development.

But there are vast sums of money to the tune of $400M+ already involved here. I assume the $20 donations people give to Mozilla go towards the broader initiatives of the Foundation.
the thing with most no-code is that ultimately its exactly the same thing as coding only not typing letters into an ide and instead dragging around logical blocks that have the same functionality as keywords or libraries in a given language. It's removing the most surface-level features of programming but not the actual work or skill that goes into it

I had a Nest thermostat before they were acquired. I liked it because the key feature I bought it for, the ability to automatically adjust the temperature, worked pretty well.

I think that's the key for me personally: will this actually make things easier for me? I don't want a ton of notifications I have to respond to.

Our older Logitech Harmony hub was useful for the same reason: it reduced multiple remotes to a single app that worked anywhere in the house via wifi.
