Thank you for that correction, I had misread the origin mark point.
I’ve pretty excited for the day I can do my programming job on an iPad in addition to my laptop. Apple has captured the software engineering market very well. Even the Microsoft F# shop I worked at had Apple hardware on most desks running Parallels or Boot Camp, and the two jobs I’ve had since were standard-issue MacBook Pro.

The pipeline you described reminds me of Apple Shortcuts - it’s easy and useful. Most recently I made a GIF out of a bunch of photos on my phone, which is a simple task that used to require a far from ideal app (ads, black-box that could be hiding analytics and tracking tasks).
Interesting, thanks!

I moved a number a while back, and my bank notified me -- the bank account was configured for SMS alerts to that number. I didn't know companies could be alerted when changing carriers. How does that work?
> Sadly for me, Microsoft broke up the IE team because it thought “we won.” (...) Years later, Internet Explorer would plummet in marketshare and become a sad joke among Web developers.

Looking back at the version history of IE, a lot of people forget how good earlier IE was compared to its competitors. "Best viewed in Internet Explorer" ultimately ended up being a punchline, but there really was something to it; IE had a far better and faster rendering engine than anything else did at the time, with more extensive CSS and JS support.

Abandoning it after they "won" was really a testament to the hubris of 90s-era Microsoft.
Or we miss crucial details about our history.
If necessary, it's possible to install either the Guix or Nix package managers and then get the specific version of GCC you want that way.

Likely, this is more preferable than unofficial apt repositories or Docker.
Money to spend, they care less than having young, cheap-enough, able to make children, might go back home easily in case of trouble immigrants.

I immigrated in my current country at 26 and it was really easy and warm, and they did everything to quadruple my salary from the european country I came from.

Now that I'm close to permanent residency and 33, I'm thinking of jumping again, but with a kid, an giganormous salary and a lot of money to be picky, I expect to be more a burden for the next country than an obvious cheap asset.

As others here have pointed out, you are conflating two very different things.

Cambridge analytica deceived people to steal and sell data, and to invisibly manipulate them.

These NYU researchers are scientists, whose entire work is only valuable if put into the open, and who are boud do law and supervised by many checks and balances - soft and hard ones.

It must be possible to study platforms, and for people to volunteer their data with informed consent to science. Otherwise the entire mechanism of "self-observation" of society falls apart.

So yes, it would be good to mention the caveat that Facebook does need to protect users. But no, that's almost entirely not the issue here.
Im curious to hear more about his startup. I can't find it online yet...
"you also work to take away peoples motivations for drug abuse or dealing"

I agree. I suspect that many of the socioeconomic factors linked to drug usage overlap with those linked to violence. It could be efficient to target those and tackle both issues with the same effort. I'm not sure what that would even look like since the policy makers tend to favor the easy or popular "fixes".
I doubt there are many graduate students who would readily understand what you wrote about fused rings. It's going to take me some time to digest it.
Pixel 2 is notoriously hard (the phone is glued together) but anything that makes the end user likelier to buy a new phone instead of replacing a dead battery is a dark pattern. "Impossible" is not the issue.
I can understand the desire to have other people (especially your children) explore the same things you explored. That said, I think your best bet is to continue to be attentive to areas where she wants to expand her understanding, and working with those as they appear.
When doing this email trick I'd often broadcast the fact as I was "declaring email bankruptcy" to let others know I did this and may have missed their email.

I've also lead many mass bug closures. Most stale bugs just need a ping or a friendly closure message. The cost to reverse a wrongly closed bug from a bug cleanup sweep is zero, and in the off chance it ignites interest in some other party still paying attention it at least signals intent and starts a conversation.
> This is what the vast majority of news sites do.

This is not even remotely true.

> AP or sites that rewrite AP's content verbatim.

This is not what Snopes is accused of. To use all or part of an AP story's text alone or within another story is completely normal, it's what AP licensees pay for. "Rewriting" news stories entirely to avoid the need to credit the author and pay them is probably not uncommon among bloggers or something, but any news outlet will just license AP content, which is designed to be affordable. Posting unlicensed content copied verbatim in order to initially get higher SEO rankings and then changing (or failing to change) the text later on is what Snopes is accused of. It's remarkable that it took them so long to get caught, and it would be interesting to know about anyone else doing this.
> imagine you’re an Apple exec who gets to see earning charts, iPhone, iPad and MacOS. One of these things is not like the others in both usage numbers and profit.

You are correct, one of those is not like the others, but it isn’t the Macs. According to their latest earnings report, iPhones made Apple $39.57B, iPads $7.37B, and Macs $8.24B [0]. I wouldn’t be surprised if iPadOS and MacOS merged in the near future, especially since they are running on the same chips, but it won’t be because iPads are the ones making all the money.

I don't get it. Is it just meant to be funny or is there a deeper message?
It depends on your definition. They certainly did not believe in any objective or universal values or meaning to life. Your criticism applies to most hedonists, moral relativists, etc. too.
Essentially by replacing the macOS shader -> machine code compiler with one of your own (or, rather, running it alongside).
I’m not 100% familiar with the Cambridge Analytica situation, but wasn’t their tooling based around user data rather than just keeping track of ads?

From the article:
> Facebook claimed that we were violating its terms of service, that we were compromising user privacy, and that it had no choice but to shut us down because of an agreement it has with the Federal Trade Commission. All of these claims are wrong. Ad Observer collects information only about advertisers, not about our volunteers or their friends, and the FTC has stated that our research does not violate its consent decree with Facebook.

If these NYU researchers have in fact created an identical system with identical strategies and goals, and are lying blatantly in the Guardian, that should be big news!

I’m somewhat skeptical about the equivalence here.
I don't know if the consensus on this will stand very long:

I have a hard time considering a government that ruled over and fought bitterly to protect a global capitalist empire as truly 'leftist,' unlike the UK's geopolitical enemies of the time.

It is also likely that subjects of certain British colonies would have a substantially different opinion on police violence.
Just one (somewhat trivial but perhaps not) thing was all the entrepreneurial activity by individual and adjacent businesses to create more stylish/higher quality/etc. masks. Now perhaps one could make a rational argument that we'd be better off with just a bunch of standard N95 masks period. But people are funny and one shouldn't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
There are much more plausible explanations, like the one Johann Hari gives: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PY9DcIMGxMs

or in plenty more detail, in his book on the topic.
It absolutely is not. Unless you're claiming that the 1/6 footage was all deepfaked and/or an Antifa false flag operation, the issue seems pretty unambiguous.

How I made $4k in a week figuring out sales for an unsellable product
Not what I said. Did your friends and family give you specific permission to give FB their private contact info, which FB uses to associate private relationships whether they are on FB or not and track people across the web? Nothing to do with Cambridge or anyone else I didn't mention.
> In my line of work, AVX512 is useless. This won't change until at least 25% market penetration on clients, which may or may not happen.

Why not use it where available? github.com/google/highway lets you write code once using 'platform-independent intrinsics', and generate AVX2/AVX-512/NEON/SVE into a single binary; dynamic dispatch runs the best available codepath for the current CPU.

Disclosure: I am the main author. Happy to discuss.
I think this might be about the interdependency of these actions. Both lead to each other. None would happen without the other.

Wrapped in a funny story.
From Hadi Partovi's thread:

"The Internet Explorer team was the hardest-working team I’ve ever been on. And I’ve worked at multiple start-ups. It was a sprint, not a marathon. We ate every meal at the office. We often held foosball tournaments at 2 am, just to get the team energy back up to continue working!

"Sadly, there were divorces and broken families and bad things that came out of that. But I also learned that even at a 20,000-person company, you can get a team of 100 people to work like their lives depend on it."

Unfortunately these extreme work hours seems to be prevalent in our industry. Steve Jobs' "90 hours a week and loving it!" T-shirt from the early 1980's is a legend, and I remember reading about the history of the Apple Newton and how the very long work hours spent on that project broke up families and even led an engineer to suicide (https://www.nytimes.com/1993/12/12/business/marketer-s-dream...). When I was a graduate student, I've seen people boast about their 90-hour work weeks. Thankfully I've been fortunate to work at places where it's okay to work a normal 40-hour week, but I've heard of places where working long hours is not only the norm, it's encouraged. I understand being passionate; sometimes I stay up very late working on side projects. But when work conflicts with health and with family, something has to give.

I would love to hear stories of products that were successful and where the engineers and other people who contributed to that success were able to maintain a reasonable work-life balance.

The person you are replying to here (triska) is the original bug opener Markus Triska. A skim read of the thread, there's a long back-and-forth of Prolog parsing and formatting and interaction with Emacs movements, with many bugs raised in it. (It's more of a review-and-polish something than a single bug), and near the end Stefan Monnier says:

> "OK, let's turn things around, indeed: we revert to Stefan Bruda's indentation code, you're handed responsibility over that code, and I get to send you the bug reports about all the regressions this will introduce."

It's not clear if that's meant genuinely or frustratedly and sarcastically, but it's taken genuinely and Markus Triska replies: "This would be a good improvement in most respects I consider important, thank you! I will treat all issues you and others send to me with great care and attention, and work on correcting all regressions and issues I can. I have a lot of experience editing Prolog code with Emacs and can spot regressions quickly."

Followed by Stefan Monnier apparently not doing that, and fixing two (of many) issues raised and discussed. (Perhaps he considered it handed over and that the next action would be patches from Markus Triska?) Then 5 years later Lars (who wasn't involved in it?) closing the whole thing without reading it in detail, taking that as "whole thing fixed".

It's not too far from Zawinski's "Cascade of Attention Deficit Teenagers" model[1] of open source bug reporting - they go unread for years, then get closed with "if it's still a problem, make a new bug".

Really skeptical about the pyramids comment. It's definitely the regularity of the pyramids that identifies them as human made, BUT, at another scale, that regularity occurs in the forms of crystals: flat surfaces, straight edges, exact angles.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_Just_Ha%C3%BCy#/me...

The idea that, as a general rule, only humans make things that don't twist doesn't hold water.
What exactly does "..and for other purposes" mean? Seems unnecessary and tyrannical to me.
In a word: Everything?

Sure, facetious. I'm sure there were some things -- probably quite a lot of them -- that actually went (at least somewhat) right. But those never made the headlines; all you heard about were fuck-ups and failures.

So certainly the on-the-whole impression you get as a mainstream news media consumer in the West was: Pretty much everything went wrong.
The comfort in shifting your locus of control outward comes from relieving the shame of failure, not from being an overall positive experience. In fact, it's common for people to both take credit for their successes while blaming their failures on external factors to relieve the shame.
I live about thirty minutes outside of a midwest semi major city, so my survival might be a little better than say New York City, but a global nuclear exchange is going to be massively bad no matter where you are.
Normally big earthquakes are extremely rare. In just the last 300 years Port-au-Prince got an 8.0, 7.5, and 7.0 that’s very rapid especially in geologic terms.
After four years as a paid Apple Developer, I finally decided to stop paying for it. Instead, I am going to convert my App Store apps into Progressive Web Apps. After a brief Twitter poll, this is the one that I decided to move first. It isn't completely finished, but it's pretty decent so far. Geolocation "just works" due to my use of Capacitor. The app was already an Ionic Framework / Angular app, so converting it into a PWA was nearly effortless. Run it from a mobile device for best results. Construction feedback appreciated. I have already found a few minor bugs.
Where is the science showing that artificial sweeteners are actually good for me? Or even better than natural sugars?

Like I said, I don't know if artificial sweeteners are bad for me but I also don't know that they are good for me, so why use them?

I don't eschew everything that might be bad for me I still enjoy wine and even the occasional slice of cake (which even if it's loaded with all-natural sugar which I am sure is not "good" for me), but it's not like my quality of life is lessened by not having more aspartame or even stevia in my diet.
Does anyone know if Colombia has this type of digital nomad visa?
In some cases that is result of super super low flow fixtures + bad pressure.

Commercial fixtures need higher pressure than a home fixture, and sometimes the office building can not provide proper pressure, combined with wanting under a gallon of water per flush and well bad things happen
Friendly feedback, I think you'll attract more readers if you take the time to introduce the reader to the subject you're describing.

The article says it's a follow-up to a previous post but doesn't link to a previous post. Looking at the post index shows no other posts. That's alienating to readers who haven't read the previous post (which is most readers). You can make the article more accessible by catching the reader up to speed in a few sentences about what they need to know.

The article also never explains what telegra.ph is, and I suspect that 90% or more of HN has never heard of the website. Even if you visit the URL, it's unclear what the website does. Some sort of blogging platform?
Medical insurance from the Costa Rican Social Security will be required, so you'll have to pay for it. Roads are paid by tolls or tax at the gas pump. I think trash collection is paid by municipal taxes of the property you live in.

About the point of using a dumb terminal: I tried it with a cheap DO VM, and came to the conclusion that they're woefully underpowered for any serious work compared to the laptop's processor.

The cost to performance wasn't there: just using my laptop for development was cheaper and more performant than renting a VM monthly for cloud development.
Surely this isn’t real. How is it even enforced? Door to door identity verifications, or are we going back to Stasi-era informants?
Honestly I think rural people and especially the remaining primitive or hunter gatherer tribes are best positioned to survive. Rich preppers are simply targets for roving gangs in the post apocalyptic world. Meanwhile the people on North Sentinel Island might not have much change to their lives. Who do you think is going to win in a fight between starving navy seals and some yuppie boomer preppers?

I don't think people indoctrinated in tech culture can understand just how weird something like this reads. All I could comprehend when I finished was "100 people work themselves to emotional exhaustion so American mega corp can retain monopoly status". I see nothing of valor, just a strange subculture that people are willing to sacrifice themselves to for reasons that make no sense to me. I can't imagine ruining my family for a paycheck so I could say I developed the 3rd version of MS' web browser.

This is on par with the best human literature that I've ever read. If this is where GPT-3 is going, then I might be coming along too.
Except right at the same time the bidet seats were also out of stock everywhere. I scored one by being slightly earlier to wake up to what’s happening, but I know many friends that weren’t able to pick one up.
I was there like 10 years ago, traveled across a lot of the country via public buses. It was one of the safest countries I visited.
As I recall, even though I normally keep pretty well stocked with paper goods and other staples, I did a shopping trip right before everything went a bit crazy and definitely picked up some additional reserves just in case. It certainly wasn't prepping levels but enough to throw off stocking levels if everyone did what I did during the first month or three. I still have a 10 pound bag of flour which I would normally never buy but it's what was there of my preferred brand at one point when shelves were a bit scant.
Your day was already as bad as it was going to be. You just didn't know about it ;)
It does. But in practice you'd have people trading their 6+ year old battery for a nearly-new one (even if it took them a dozen tries) to avoid the $12k expense of replacing it. You'd have to build that scenario into your business model somehow.

I think a better business might be battery pack refurbishment. Buy dead/worn out packs from mechanics, replace any bad cells or fuses, reseal them, and sell them with a 90 day warranty.
The threats posed by disinformation are too broad and numerous for these smaller academic organizations to handle. We need to consolidate our efforts under a single entity that will have more power to fight disinformation and protect truth. A "Ministry of Truth", if you will.
This if done is usually against the manufacturer's directives (if even possible to put online).
The equipment that has networking capabilities is designed for internal networks, physically isolated, and it's a big emphasis on this coming from the OEMs.

Changing/maintaining SW in medical devices is not easy (FDA, CE...) and as many mentioned, not everything is designed to move like the web...
Touch UI items tend to be larger by necessity (and to have surrounding padding as a safety factor, which increases their "effective" size even further), so you don't really need to do the hover thing. Just redesign them to be more self-explanatory as opposed to wasting that space.

"Magic swipes" could also be redesigned to be more intuitive, e.g. with some background soft-3D effects that make swipe-sensitive areas "stand out" from the neutral background.
While I don't know the specifics for Australia because I am not Australian, I can say that I've seen news articles that say "unnamed Biden officials have said the Axios report is a wake up call, because the Pfizer vaccine efficacy rate against the delta virus is 42%" in a population of 35,000 individuals, many of whom are over 60.

While the vaccine may prevent the severity of the illness, it is having a hard time preventing the spread of the illness.

I ve done a bittorrent client, a 3D rendering engine on the PS3 and a printer driver for fun and while clearly not at the levels of a bootloader, I can have a few cookie points in interview for originality.

What I learned starting these daunting task (especially the ps3 which was closed specs), is that it s still done by humans and following familiar patterns. Most of the time you bang your head against unclear doc or go through successive layers of abstraction (to do a ps3 rendering engine, better know your basic openGL on PC, which is only possible if you know matrix and vector geometry) but EVERYTHING is possible to reach at a workable level (expert level I feel comes with money incentive, team mates and repetition). I spent 2 years on japanese, 3 hours a day, and could integrate the meaning of Haikus at the end.

I think the only true talent you must have is insane stubborness. To go through, a doc at a time. Usually after the first insane challenge (for me: learning english at a near native level, reading literature or discussing politics) of your life, you understand it s all pretty much time investment.
That would be the "pork" provision.
