I think there’s a little more nuance to what happened in echo park. Echo Park lake has always had some homeless people living there, but it was nowhere close to 200 prepandemic. There was also some attempt to relocate everyone, it’s the city of LA so obviously no one really trusted them. But it’s weird to me see a public park that’s meant to be used by everyone taken over and then when it’s taken back. LA is destroying informal housing?
But the kings of yore were actual fighters... all lords were warlords to some extent or another. Kings rode out in front and died in battle. That’s a lot different than a Silicon Valley dweeb with some now-useless green paper.
I’m shocked that on a website filled with engineers, developers and myriad other hackers, many of whom seem to be outraged by this level of invasiveness, no one is suggesting direct action. How far will people let this continue while standing back and doing nothing? Rights are the things you’re willing to fight for. If all you’re willing to do is make a vaguely angry post on a forum, then that’s all you’ll end up with.

A friend gave me an invite a couple of months ago. He seemed to really like it so I figured I'd give it a go. WTAF? Seems to be mostly teens gossiping at this point. I quickly deleted the app.
This is not just a "walk in the park" date. I have seen these parks myself, in Delhi and in Mumbai--there are literally dozens of couples kissing and having sex in the dark in these tiny, tiny parks, hardly 30 feet between couples. It is a date of last resort in a gossip-heavy culture--there is no privacy, and young people are shamed for wanting to experience love, especially if it's with the "wrong" person.
I assume they're talking about 100k individual income as opposed to household income?
Me neither, but I do have friends that did!
I admire emacs folks, for the same reason I'm a 15-20 year vim person. If someone uses emacs regularly - they most likely know what they are doing, and we can get along on that basis. I appreciate the authors introspection and honesty about using it though, was a good read.
If you allow it to so that it can do location based profiles. You can not allow that feature and during the onboarding screens it asks if you want that feature.
> So we should assume any and all of our photos are probably going to be looked at by some random people?

No? Not unless they're matching the perceptual hashes of the CSAM provided by NCMEC and in that case, sorry, my sympathy does not extend that far.

If anything, this makes it harder for random Apple people to look at your iCloud photos if moving the matching step down to the phone means iCloud photos are going to be end-to-end encrypted, right? (Which is not a given, of course, just a theory that some people have about why it's moving down to the phone level.)
You have the freedom to redistribute the book. It lacks some freedoms that would be beneficial, like translation into Chinese and producing an updated version of the book 5 years from now; but it ensures that it won't disappear from the internet when NVIDIA decides to overhaul their website in a couple of years. It's part of the permanent intellectual heritage of humanity.
Nevermind cheap; nonessential (as in, will somebody die if you don't fly?) flights at any cost should stop.

i wouldn't get too worked up, the article cites only one instance from Abu Hamza al-Tabuki while claiming to document 14. The article has a lot of words but little actual information, I would ask for more specific details before letting the author really get under your skin.
Perhaps the approach of vapid, pessimistic short-takes doesn't play well outside of Twitter, where folks aren't as impressed by blue checks and large followings, and where there isn't a benefit to jockeying for engagement. Based on your comments throughout the threads here, you appear to be overly eager to paint with an overly negative, wide brush that ignores nuance and the multitudes of situations in which your assertion doesn't come close to being true. For instance, adopting an upstream dependency change containing a breaking change, which necessitates releasing a major version in which no notion of failure, mistake, or misstep exists. I'm unsure how you gained such a large following, but your comments aren't at all inspiring or insightful - only somewhat controversial.
Wow this looks very polished. (Out of frustration with Optimizely) I created and maintain a couple of A/B test open source projects[0][1] but the statistical analysis was always the hardest part so I’m keen to see what you are doing. We’re currently relying on a commercial tool called Analytics Toolkit[2] for this part alone and have been quite happy with it though. The owner is very knowledgable and responsive (no affiliation just happy customers). I wonder if you can adopt similar ideas/algorithms into the open source tool. That can be useful I imagine.

Yes. As long as the variation assignment data and success metrics are in a supported data source (SQL, GA, or Mixpanel currently), it can be queried and analyzed in Growth Book.

when you are looking for a tool as a programmer, the question you should be asking is not 'is it complex?', the question always is 'is it worth it?'. emacs is the only tool in existence i can confidently say yes, every bit. as a programmer you should be using emacs.

i have used visual-studio for 8 years then vim for at least 5, emacs was always there taunting me. after 'evil' i had no reason to avoid it and i wish someone told me to use it the day when i started coding. this is not vim-vs-emacs, this is not ide-wars, they are for language-lawyers and influencers spewing bullshit for internet points.

magit, tramp, org-mode, evil... every one of them are free, orthogonal to rest of the emacs-system, supported on every os.

but emacs too comes with a curse, just like lisp. after you get used to it, there is no going back. everything is going to feel inferior.
Interesting! My sense of “depth” is highly correlated to how “foundational” the code is. Meaning that changing “deep” code will require changing lots of things to keep things working or may break unrelated things far away (sorta like brittleness).
Guess I'll play a bit more on CalyxOS then. Feel free to hire me I guess.

Small businesses and serendipity were largely crushed before Amazon became dominant.

Albums were bought at Best Buy, graphics cards were bought at Fry's, books were bought at Borders, tools were bought at Home Depot, groceries were bought at Kroger... (or sometimes they were almost all bought at Walmart or Target instead of any of those!)

Bezos was rich before the next-day-everything-fulfill-as-fast-as-possible push of the last decade. What did the warehouse environment look like back then? It won by doing better, but unforunately that alone isn't good enough, you have to FOREVER get more and more efficient, so the market demands exploitation at some point.
I could have written this comment myself, albeit less eloquently.

That is a very accurate representation of how I feel about this, too. I enjoy building apps, but I don't know that I can keep using these devices.

I was looking forward to upgrading to the new hardware in the fall, but now I'm not sure I can stomach the implications of buying a new device that may at any point start policing what I do far beyond what I'd accepted at the time of purchase.
I was there a couple of months ago and almost had this for dinner but decided against it. Damn, have to go back there.

Trying to wrap my head around how this works when distributed. If v7 is used with a high time precision, it's important that each node in the distributed system have a very tightly synchronized time, right?

If so, with v7, I'd feel the need to find the right balance of time precision, time synchronization, node identification, and randomness. Just some thoughts out loud.
I agree, I've used vim for 20 years with very little in my home vimrc file. Indeed I didn't even have a vimrc file until Vim 8 changed a bunch of defaults to make things worse, which almost made me quit, until I realised the alternative was nano.
If you had looked at the video, by now you would have seen why the proud boys are the furthest thing from fascists. I simply disagree with your baseless accusations. Throughout this discussion you have demonstrated that making baseless accusations is all you can do. I have chosen to forgive you for all of the slander you have engaged in. I just hope that one day your eyes will open and you can look at your fellow human beings with more compassion and understanding. Maybe then we can have a more productive discussion. Farewell.
yep, it's quite silly. many americans recognize how silly it is. it's the dualistic messaging of mutually exclusive A & B:

A. We're all equal!
B. We need something special, because we're different!
A bit strange you're not even willing to entertain other causes, or elaborate a even little as to why this is absurd, no? This stuff isn't exactly universally agreed on, academically speaking.

Well, Emacs has some major limitations as an editor, places where it really shows its age. Particularly, it is single threaded and this affects many normal uses - for example, while opening a connection to a remote machine with TRAMP, the whole GUI is completely frozen. Similarly with many development tools, such as magit or the excellent lsp-mode (Language Server Protocol support).
Yeah. Mostly, the difference is whether you're protecting against big tech or smaller hackers.

The only other difference is that computersecurity also protects your computer as a resource say against mining trojans.
The takeaway is: even if you sell an over-the-top bait product, make it profitable! They charged 72$ and didn't earn a penny, because the ingredients were too expensive.

Even at 120$ it would probably still have worked.
You comment is sensible but what's a practical use case when you mix any two natural sounds with a delay and not get harmonics? So even if the ears are detecting the delay via harmonics I don't see why that's a negative thing.

Looking into Zig
Note that Wine runs Windows binaries, whereas what this project aims for is source compatibility. That at least means you aren't at the mercy of ABI versioning, though you wouldn't be able to 'run' a macOS app you found online.
Right, that explains why some users would vote for "creepy".
But the information in this section is not really true. The user is not forced (or nudged / dark-patterned / etc) in any way to give those permissions.

Location: Yes, it can ask for the Location permission, but it does that only if the user explicitly wants it to do so, doesn't it? You have to activate "Adaptive Sound Control", and also explicitly activate location based ANC control. And then you still have to give it the permission in the operating system dialog.

Camera: You can make pictures of your ears to use some kind of strange "sound optimization", which only works with a few apps. Only then does it ask for the Camera permission, and it never uses / asks for it again afterwards.

So the information Mozilla provides is not really accurate, and that could skew the votes. I don't know if that's any better. :-D
> They didn't have the endless power hungry narcissists that are endemic to every human society.

Of course they did. Most of the Admirals were like that.
I have found it very difficult to pickup elisp, but the latest concerted effort worked. I found learning it to be a very fulfilling experience.
> But you're also completely wrong in assuming that there is some kind of escape hatch or technological miracle that anyone can pull off to make those fears go away,

I can’t be wrong about that since I’m not claiming that anywhere or assuming it.

> because in your own words: "parents will be afraid for their children regardless of the stats."

Given that I wrote this, why would you claim that I think otherwise?

> There is no technological solution that will ease their fear, because it's not about the stats.

Agreed, except that I go further and claim that the stats are not sufficient, so making about the stats can’t solve the problem.

> People being scared of things is not evidence,

It’s evidence of fear. Fear is real, but it’s not a measure of severity or probability.

> that's not something we can have a productive conversation about.

I don’t see why we can’t take into account people’s fears.

> If we're going to create a "solution", then we need to know what the problem is, what the weak points are, and what metrics we're using to figure out whether or not we're making progress.

Yes. One of those metrics could be ‘in what ways does this compromise privacy’, and another could be ‘in what ways does this impede child abuse use cases’. I suspect Apple is trying to solve for those metrics.

Perhaps someone else can do better.

> If that's not on the table, then also in your words, we need to "accept that this is the environment"

This part is unclear.

> stop trying to pretend that coming up with technical solutions will do anything to reduce calls to weaken encryption or insert back doors.

It’s unclear why you would say anyone is pretending this, least of all me. I have wholeheartedly agreed with you that these calls are ‘evergreen’.

I want solutions to problems like the child abuse use cases, such that when calls to weaken encryption or insert back doors are made as they always will be, we don’t have to.

I've never used pesticides or herbicides on my lawn for 20 years. When the flowers are out, there's a constant hum of bees.

The bees never bother me, and I avoid bothering them.

I had to get rid of a hornet's nest, though. They'd come after me like Me109s when I'd just walk by.
A cost is a "sunk cost" when it's already been spent and can't be recovered. The time invested into learning and configuring emacs is a sunk cost.

The fallacy is in persisting with it when other tools may be better, choosing to persist because of the time invested. Continuing with emacs because of that time investment even when there are better tools (for some part of the work at least) is an example of the sunk cost fallacy. Now, that doesn't mean that the tradeoffs can't be considered where someone determines that emacs is better to continue with for them in their particular situation (regardless of the sunk cost of time spent on it).
Personally, I no longer attempt to try to understand left-ist talking points on race. It's typically an ignorant, naive, and irrational perspective. Hence it's a waste of time to try to understand.

Simply too much mutually exclusive duality, such as "We are all equal. But my group specifically-- we're different and we need special things and special treatment!"
Ah, that makes more sense.

I understand what you are doing now and that used to be my approach. Now, I feel that it just allows the denialist rhetoric to perpetuate. I'm not even going to call it a myth because it's such obvious nonsense, I believe even to the people that say it - it's just push-back, a tactic.
Part of my point was that it's difficult to get into (still worth it overall), but another part is definitely that technology has moved on, and emacs often reminds me of its age there.

No matter what, emacs still feels "alien" in my OS's desktop interface with its UI concept, and never fully integrates. That's fine if you don't want it to integrate, but I actually like some concepts of my OS's UI a lot, and miss them in emacs.

And elisp is not a very good language, born of a time where programming languages still had a long way to go (at least in the mainstream, academically it always seems a bit different to me). They are actively trying to fix things, e.g. the adoption of lexical binding, but the scope of this effort also shows how emacs is a very big ship that is hard to change course.

Someone else mentioned lack of proper multi-threading in another comment now, and this is also very noticeable.

Calmly explain to her that the best thing to do is to spend teens and 20s "finding yourself" and "experimenting" and "having fun" as a "free spirit" then to "settle down" in your 30s when you are "ready" and "know what you want".
Why was he pointing that out? It wasn't in question: everyone involved in this conversation knows how poor Delhi is on a factual level, since it's literally in the article we all read. Half the Toronto post wasn't even about poverty, it was about how the author would go on dates to far away parts of the city so his family wouldn't find out he was gay.

Why wouldn't they be comparable? They can be compared easily. You're comparing them right now.
Hi- thanks for making this and open sourcing it!

I would also suggest supporting an alternative to MongoDB. Postgres using jsonb is a great option.

I try to always use and support open source components, as open source provides much less business risk. Since MongoDB isn't itself open source, I would be hesitant to adopt it or a product that depends on it. Mongo also has a bad reputation...

I would definitely evaluate and likely use your product if it did not depend on MongoDB.

What a great reminder of why you shouldn't let companies have read (or write!) access to your data in any form

While the Apple fiasco plays out, we should remember that No One is trustworthy, and fight any company that wants to peek into your life.
I remember someone on HN mentioned in a system programming post that his first system programming task is to create something that get persisted in RAM after re-boot. Maybe it's something that you can Google with.
Something similar happened to the company I was working for a few years ago. They suddenly were unable to keep using Stripe for card payments. They implemented something I never knew if it worked out or not (I left the company shortly after):

- they created a “payment promise” flow. Customers were businesses that were paying regularly, so this didn’t change at all, but instead of making a real payment via Stripe, they made a promise of payment at a later point in the future (this promise ended up as a simple Pdf stating the amount to be paid as soon as we could start charging again)
So was the previous book, but in both case there's a separate, more liberal license for the code samples. Code samples in a programming book are a tricky case: when you're reading a programming book that has code samples, in a sense the whole purpose is for you to be able to write more code later on, for the rest of your life in fact, that's "substantially similar" to the code samples in the book. Which means that, under US law anyway, it's copyright infringement, unless the similarity is limited to purely functional aspects of the code, a fact of which you may have to persuade a nontechnical jury.

This has been used by the authors of the Numerical Recipes series for decades to extort royalties from programmers who learned about numerical algorithms from their books.

The explanatory text is not subject to the same problem; you read the explanatory text in order to understand the code, not in order to be able to write more explanatory text substantially similar to what is in the book.

Technically, you don't need GPS for location tracking. All you need is to scan for BSSIDs around you and then check in a database, where in the world they are. Conveniently, Google has one such database ;).
