QtCreator does work like that.
>These folks have passed the same bar the OP has.

The notion that any type of consistent "bar" exists for hiring at FAANGs is a myth. These companies are far too large to consistently apply hiring standards. Some teams intentionally have different standards, some teams unintentionally (due to the hiring managers or interviewers just not being on the same page) have different standards, even within their specific team. Some teams are so desperate for people that they'll hire anyone with a pulse, while others are so flooded with applicants that they don't hire anyone unless you have 6 PhDs and won a nobel prize.

At my FAANG, it's so well known that the "hiring bar" is bullshit that when someone wants to do a team transfer, we usually require them to go through a full hiring loop again, just like an external hire, because there are some teams/organizations within my company that we do not trust to have upheld a reasonable bar when initially hiring someone.
The HOA or landlord can modify the terms, but they're disincentivized to do so.

The reason that both HOAs and landlords disallow outdoor clothes drying is that it's seen as an eyesore. People associate clotheslines full of clothes with images of testaments in NYC in the 1920s and representing overpopulation and or immigration.

Landlords in particular don't want people hanging things from the apartments- even objects like small satellite dishes are often not allowed.

What many don't know is that in the US, many of these rules are simply null and void:

https://www.sightline.org/2012/02/21/clothesline-bans-void-i...

The challenge is that this requires a great deal of work on the part of the homeowner, and in doing so they would be entering into a conflict with the HOA. They would win in a court, but they would need to put up the money to fight in court. Even if/when they won, the HOA would make life unpleasant for them and likely retaliate in some other way.
The current Apple policy to use human reviewers. That might change at a moment's notice and there is no technical reason why Apple couldn't bypass humans for certain requests. One must always judge a new system three ways: how it was meant to be implemented, how it is actually implemented, and how it might be abused by bad actors in the future.
> If CSAM scanning is going to (or is already) mandatory, I vastly prefer Apple's method here.

This is such a good point. The US government has been heavily pushing for backdoors, and can gag discussion under threat of national security.

It also seems counter productive to punish the one corporation who is apparently being transparent about this. Nobody here likes marketing BS, but this reaction here on HN is why we get marketing BS instead of technical details.

Edit: Legally, these searches do not violate the 4th amendment because the government pretends hash scans are entirely voluntary. Most ISPs and email companies "voluntarily" choose to hash match. I can't remember the specifics, but ISPs that refuse to do this have been threatened with legal action.

Also Mint at https://mint-lang.com, which is heavily inspired by Elm (and better, IMO). The open source aspect is also the opposite of Elm - the community is very friendly, the developers are responsive and positive, and PRs are encouraged.
ASCII was well defined, CSV was not. Therefore they could take the highest bit, which they could know that was unused per the ASCII spec, and use that to encode their extra UTF-8 information.

Also UTF-8/ascii compatibility is unidirectional. A tool that understands ASCII is going to print nonsense when it encounters emoji or whatever in UTF-8. Even the idea that tools that only understand ASCII won't mangle UTF-8 is limited - sure dumb passthroughs are fine, but if it manipulates the text at all, then you're out of luck - what does it mean to uppercase the first byte of a flag emoji?

I’m still with iPhone but pretty close to that setup. Mainly I am thinking about emergencies where I want my SIM in my phone when I leave my car. A second SIM that supports WiFi calling is likely the final step, giving the new # to the iPhone and using WiFi only when possible, at home or in car.

Sounds complicated, no doubt. Tethering CarPuter to iPhone is a much easier approach. I’m a VanLifer.

I've found that individuals absolutely can change organizational behavior. Setting teams norms is a simple first step that establishes what the expectations on response times truly are for various communication channels. It takes 15 minutes in a team meeting, and almost instantly improves team culture. All it takes is one leader to put that discussion on an agenda, and the entire team can relax and let message piles up while they get work done, because everyone has a shared understanding of how the team has chosen to operate.

This isn't just theory - My company was downright sad when the pandemic started when it came to remote culture. But a handful of us stepped up, made suggestions and recommendations, and things have improved greatly. At this point, we have established communication guidelines that are shared with the company, and mostly followed.

The tragedy comes when everybody believes that one person cannot make a difference, so nobody tries.

You are completely missing the point. The answer to a privacy and security question shouldn't be, "it is easy for us to do things this way." You are inadvertently making the point that you are arguing against.
> The entire article is about replacing CSVs for exchanging data exported from Excel...

No, it's not. It's about replacing CSVs for exchanging data. It mentions that CSVs often are the product of someone exporting data from a spreadsheet or doing a table dump, and how just doing that tends to create a ton of problems, but Excel is an example, not the subject matter of the article.

> The business world will laugh at you and continue on their merry CSV way.

The business world pays me a lot of money to teach them not to use CSVs.
That's not a problem inherent to CSV the format, though, any more than using Word to edit JSON means smart quotes are a problem with JSON. It's about knowing or not knowing the tools you're using.

Unexpected behavior is a potential problem with any tool or format, certainly no less so with the kinds of solutions the article is proposing.
The last thing from Apple I had was a phone, I've switched to a Pinephone entirely.

That was a lot of work, I had to write my own power management service so I could get notifications during sleep without draining the battery excessively and there are still tons of bugs and little hacks I've written. If that scares you please just switch to a trackphone because smartphone software authors will continue taking advantage of you after you switch to something else.

Citation needed. And I got one for you.

"The mission of the National Ignition Facility ib to achieve ignition and gain in ICF targets in the laboratory. The facility will be used for defense applications such as weapons physics and weapons effect testing, and for civilian application, such as fusion energy development and fundamental studies of matter at high temperatures and densities. This paper reviews the design, schedule and costs associated with the construction project."

So, "fusion energy development". It's sorta both.

Hard truth is Apple has really built its ecosystem brick by brick and is constantly getting stronger. And other companies don't even seem like they have their eyes on the game wrt ecosystem. They do some parts better than Apple but no one seems to be focussing on the big picture. Once someone is fully in the ecosystem (phone, iPad, Mac, watch, Apple TV and some iCloud services) it's really hard to find another ecosystem that works as well.. and that's not a good thing for the industry in general

> This is the first step towards that reality.

You know, I could respect your opinion that this is where you draw the line, but you ignore all of Apple's history if you think this is the first step. This isn't the first step, this isn't the first chapter, this is at best the middle of the book where the plot twist happens.

No, this is clearly no the first step. This is the first step you chose to see the reality of the situation. You'll look back and you'll see how everything was paved with good intentions and how people sounding the alarm were ignored.

This isn't the first step.
Secret FBI Watchlist Leaks Online
As usual they don't say how this was accomplished. They call it "sophisticated" but it probably was just stupid or lazy, which is very common in most corporate hacks. Big companies don't really care much about security since it costs money and rarely causes much trouble to your stock price and exec compensation.

The people who suffer are those whose data is compromised and have no idea it happened.
This reads like a joke.

If you think you can do better than CSV, let's see your proposal. Hint: you probably can't, and if you could, you probably couldn't get Excel to export it, so you still probably can't.

"The status quo is bad, more recent popular formats aren't good enough either, but I don't actually have a specific proposal that's better than all of the above" is a lot faster to read than that article, and says the same thing.
The trap isn't bargaining, the trap is allowing someone to shift the responsibility from demand to creation.

What I mean is that the role of demand hasn't fully defined exactly what they want, it's nebulous, once the demand role accepts the responsibility for developing a timeline for a non-defined project it also accepts the responsibility to develop the requirements.

I simply never accept shift in responsibility.
Probably so, in this case.

Here's a screenshot they uploaded as proof of the hack: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E848JkGUUAIhIq5?format=jpg

You can see that it's running Goldengate, software used to replicate Oracle or other databases. So it probably had all the DB credentials needed to just export the whole database.

Show HN: BrainTool – Beyond Bookmarks, a Topic Manager for your online life
Long time looker, first time Show-er here!

I built the initial BrainTool to scratch a personal itch - to unify my bookmarks and online resources with text-based notes. I've spent the last several months iterating on it with feedback from early adopters and UX volunteers. It's finally at the point where I feel confident enough to seek this communities feedback.

BrainTool is a browser extension that makes it easy to save pages of interest into a personal 'topic' hierarchy, along with associated notes. Your topics are shown in an editable side panel which can also control the browser - opening and closing tabs, tab groups and windows by topic. There's a 90 sec intro video here: https://youtu.be/7zvyvATpoVM

The above by itself makes BrainTool one of the handiest bookmarks/tabs/browser managers around, but the kicker is that all your data is stored in a separately editable org-mode[1] format plaintext file. Off-browser I edit my braintool file in emacs but I've also played around syncing with LogSeq, Orgzly and other org-based tools. If you're an emacs user it could give you a shallow on-ramp into the world of org-mode, if you're an aspiring PKMer it's an easy way to slurp in all of your online resources, if you just want to get out of tab hell and up your browser game - dive right in!

Its serverless so your data never leaves your personal environment. Chromium-based browsers only for now (Chrome, Edge, Brave, etc. not FF).

> What initially drove you to Calyx vs Lineage?

The promise of locked bootloader. Later I learned that Lineage does the same job, they sign their builds for AVB. Though their documentation sucks and forums full of idiots screaming "NEVER LOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER".

Regarding "privacy" - I'm not really sure how much work is done in Calyx. Well, you may choose cloudflare dns out of the box and you have a "firewall" (just a better fronted to android permissions API). Though you can perfectly get that on Lineage. Lineage has its telemetry but you can switch it off.

Actually I'm thinking about building my own lineage-based distro (with proper call recorder built in), that's not that hard. Though for now I don't want to invest too much time into that.
Well, at least it doesn't compromise the cheaper resellers (like Boost or Mint Mobile or Metro). Ironic that the cheap resellers are safer than the supposedly premium network.
The bar is way lower when the source is available. That they won't share the source code for a free program is also a very big red flag.

Read that support article again, it agrees with me. :-D

There's a section "End-to-end encrypted data" which explicitly lists the things which are actually e2e, and iCloud Photos isn't on that list.
Tiny CUDA Neural Networks
Thanks for walking us through the limitations in data models and design best practices - Kiran
XML? Which is often not human readable, overly complex and therefore requires enormous amounts of processing power to be parsed.

JSON - and also CSV - are ubiquitous because they are actually human readable and usually quick to process. JSON is strictly defined it just doesn't over comments or structures, like XML. CSV is loosely defined but better than another competing standard ;)

A good data interchange format must be human readable, JSON and CSV are. Proprietary stuff not. And if you feel the need for speed? Seriously? Okay, then think about a binary format.

I prefer also the .conf format (so called INI) over other complex stuff for application settings.
It is annoying. Between all the breaches, it is virtually guaranteed my information is floating out there. The worst part is, I have zero to no recourse here. What are they gonna offer me? Discounted credit monitoring?

What is the tipping point? Did we manage to pass it altogether ( asking since even I took this news as... eh, why bother )?

Honestly, what needs to happen to make it 'not so'.
For now. We see the direction apple is moving.
What I do not understand, if this is a weapon, how can a country which deploys the most sensitive sensors in their embassies to listen in on their host country (sound, electromagnetic, gravitonic, ...), not detect this?

And if it is radiation/waves that there are no sensors for, why aren't new sensors installed? So the CIA scrambles around and installs a myriad of new sensors in every embessay, and nothing after years?

The opponent has not only some new kind of weapon, but a new kind of energy or rays that are not gravitational, electromagnetic or sonic? So they have a Nobel prize winning physics discovery and use it to make people in embassies sick?
I like how disciplined you are with only checking messages in the morning. It's just three of us here at Flow Club so I can't really do that yet. One day...

I think motivation is messier than just self-motivated vs not self-motivated. Could depend on the task you're tackling, time of day, other things in life that happened that day. Work is so personal and so varied. I'd say Flow Club members are very self-motivated, some are wildly successful by conventional standards, and yet there are still moments where Flow Club is a reliable environment to fall back on or to pick themselves up just a little.

There should be zero reason for a phone company to even have our SSNs. We really need a public national ID system in the US.

I had a problem with perf optimization on Html.Lazy long time ago that I can't solved before I moved on.

Since Elm is immutable and lazy render, most of the time, compare underline object reference (referential equality check), the reference (memory location) almost always changes on every update cycle because it needs to update model, thus, a new reference as a result. And that makes Html.Lazy worthless. I had some kind of 1000 html tree nodes, and it rendered every branch every time. I probably did something not right, but I already tried solving that for a few days, no success.

If you have the Elm in Action book, that memory location pitfall is explained on the very last page about when memory location of a object changes.
Best Free Email Accounts You Should Consider
Correct. That'd be a moving goalpost. The original claim was that JSON doesn't work well with columnar data.

If the primary usecase is to take data give it to a non-programmer to evaluate it, then CSV isn't terrible. Add a transformer that's ran when someone manually requests to see the data.

However, for machine to machine communication, CSV should never be used.
If one of the US TLAs has decided to target you you’re fucked. No amount of switching phones and OS is going to help you, short of completely disconnecting from the internet and not using any sort of financial infrastructure.
It's not an example though. Putting aside a lack of news report we'll assume it's true, it's got nothing to do with cloud scanning for images. A picture of someones children wouldn't trigger these systems at all.

This would be an excellent data point.
Why do so many people get caught sharing CSAM on FB then?

I remember reading about the CSAM ring the FBI (IIRC) infiltrated and ran for a period of time, that group had strict rules on how to access and share material that, if followed, would have completely protected them but the majority of them were sloppy and got caught. Criminals really aren't that smart by and large. Will this catch the smartest of them? Probably not, but it will catch a good number I'm sure.

All that said, I'm not a fan of these changes, I just dislike arguments that don't hold water against it.
Someone who sends threats to anyone should be reported to law enforcement. Not doing so is reprehensible and encourages the anti-social behavior.
