Yea, these are poor reasons imho. Relying on mommy Chrome and the hellscape of ECMA transpilers seems like the opposite of "cross platform" since you rely on a much more unstable foundation...
From my perspective, the era of switching desktops is over--I don't really have to choose anymore. These days I can run all the operating systems I need at once. I can run a Windows virtual machine in Linux and vice versa. If I need to run a Mac app, I can rent a VM on AWS. My Mac developer friends run Docker Desktop, which actually runs Linux.

I remember a time when the host operating system was an important choice that limited what kinds of things you could do with a computer. It's really not anymore IMHO.

The hashes get uploaded with the photo up iCloud. You don’t need to prevent a firewall as you could just block both.

Are there any certifications that require you to solve a CTF or otherwise demonstrate understanding of the field? (Just spitballing, but maybe an oral-defence of strategy against a board of defcon panelists? Etc)

Braindump-able IT certs benefit no-one, and expecting people to have MSc degrees in infosec is elitist and very impractical.

One other big problem I've had with bugs and issues in macOS is that every time I look online for solutions, I consistently find people entirely dismissing those problems as rare or "you're using it wrong" instead of acknowledging that problems exist and/or offering potential solutions.

It's extremely frustrating when you're just trying to work and your OS gets in the way _and_ everyone online just says, "Well, it works for me!"
Not. The 48 hours rule is fake news

Bottom line is reviewers are reviewing one version of the game, and players are getting a sometimes significantly different version. That is anti-consumer behavior no matter how you cut it.

Some responsibility does also fall on reviewers for being aware and where appropriate mentioning this fact.
Why are there so many vacant apartments that this is a viable scam?
While I find your proposal agreeable I feel bound to point out that it's not really happening, and meanwhile abusive/exploitative property investment practices are going on day by day. I think in many jurisdictions too much importance is attached to property rights and that is exploited by wealthy individuals and corporate actors to the great detriment of their neighbors and the health of the economy.
Maybe because nvme is more common now? Last time I had swap was a few years ago now and every time I'd enter it, it'd be so slow as to be hard to even fix it. Since I've had no swap I've had a couple of times when docker or whatever just crashes instead and that's it but possibly with my current nvme swap wouldn't be too awful if it gets used.
I have never worked for a company that doesn't use GSuite since a college internship at a 100+ years old insurance company.
nah, I'm good
Huh, interesting. Since GSuite became a thing I've never seen Exchange in my professional life, so, generously, since 2007/8? I've only had one employer that used Exchange and they sold a setup for it, but even they were switching internally to use GSuite by the time I left, if I recall correctly. I recall the switch as being extremely abrupt in that era.
Why are there over 30k empty homes, if they command so much money from tenants?

Who can afford to keep homes empty at such great expense, and for what purpose?

I don't agree with forced medical procedures at all. I think the world should be upset with Canada, with CPP, and all the other cultures who are doing it. I agree, regardless of your cultural background, you have every right to be upset with genocide/racisim/terrible thing in another country and in your home country.

I don't want to tamper anyone's disgust. I would like to add that it happens in my home country and it breaks my heart.
Those "Mac System paradigms from [the] 80s" are also the Windows paradigms from the 1980s to the 2020s. Still "an order of magnitude" more users more familiar with iOS and Android than that? I doubt it.
So you expect people who don't really even care about technology in the first place to rapidly adapt to your changing preferences? I don't have facebook, and I know that I could be better in touch with my extended family and many of my friends if I had one, it's my choice to die on that hill. I don't want facebook to invade my privacy, I could make a hardware choice and have a device or devices dedicated solely to their swill, to cordon off my private life from their information vacuum, but I choose not to do so.
How is switching off of one ecosystem (facebook ads monetization) any different than another (Apple hardware monetization).
Without rent control, if your landlord doesn't improve the property, there's a credible threat that the tenant will move out.

With rent control, that threat will not be taken seriously.

My computer is my "work station", so I don't want anything to change how it works without my asking for it.

Only FOSS has given me that so far. With the others, I inevitably run into "interface I'm used to changes without my consent".
YMMV, but when I was a consultant (which was great in my twenties, I worked three days a week) I mostly partnered with local consultancies who needed specialists in particular fields for this or that. A little staff aug in there too, but again for specialty stuff. They took about a 30% vig all-in-all off the top and they kept me full-up on work as much as I'd wanted.

If you don't have the IQ, your hard work is meaningless.
I actually believe the complete opposite. People who rely on motivation to get them through to the finish line in long term situations probably never make it there. Motivation is a very fleeting feeling unless you find something that utterly sets your soul on fire, and I would almost say it is a crutch for many. Sometimes you're going to get up in the morning and you're just going to have to push through. And there will almost always be small/medium/large pieces of work that are simply not fun(and you can't always delegate). The people who succeed will be the ones that have developed a mindset of resilience and just doing what needs to get done.
Every Linux distro needs to adopt something like the Arch User Repository (AUR). It is hands down the nicest way to install packages out of all OSes, including Mac and Windows. Everything is in the AUR, and if it isn't it is fairly easy to wrap it up and put it there yourself.

Or one can just use Arch + `yay` and move on already!
If one user in an org does something stupid will Microsoft ban the entire org with no recourse? I doubt it.

This definitely isn't my recollection of the '90s. IDE just worked. Yes, you had to get the cable and jumpers correct. But it wasn't rocket science. It pales in comparison to the headache of MFM. I remember having to use the DOS DEBUG.COM and communicate directly with the controller card to get a low-level format. And two ribbon cables per drive. I had two MFM drives in an XT. Lord. Ribbon cables every goddamn where.
I had the fun idea to tie minimum wage to real estate in the area. Take the national average rent for an apartment for a family of x people. If the regional average rent is 10% lower the minimum wage can be 10% lowered as well. If the average rent is 100% higher the minimum wage can be cranked up by 100%.

It would create problems for poor companies that will have to make room for more effective entrepreneurs. At the same time it would create new opportunities in areas normally not considered.
Show HN: Breakaway, a New NHL App for iOS
Hey everyone… longtime lurker, first time poster here to share a cool project with you.

For the past year and a half or so, I've been working with Alex (/r/aleradders) on our very first application for iOS. It’s called Breakaway and it’s a new way to see NHL scores, stats, teams, players, and more. It’ll be free with 0 ads too.

I'm sure some of you have used the NHL app at some point if you’re a hockey fan. Maybe you switched to theScore, ESPN, or some other app, and that's fine too. Our goal here was to make an NHL app that felt more at home on iOS, while also adding in features that the NHL app (and most other apps with NHL info) doesn't have.

This is only the very first version, so there's more to come (so as long as the NHL API cooperates with us), but we've added the ability to search for teams and players, entry drafts, award results, the ability to view any game in league history (I think the NHL app only lets you go back a couple seasons), team and player favoriting, and more!

Here's a quick gallery of what the app looks like: https://imgur.com/a/Z8cOrLL

Right now it looks best on the iPhone... we wanted to get the foundation up and the app out so we could focus on an iPad version later. We plan to hopefully release the first beta within the next several days if all goes well with the review process.

We'd definitely love any feedback that you may have, we want this to be a community-focused app too (we're over at /r/BreakawayApp on Reddit if you want to join us)!
As someone who has used Linux almost exclusively on the desktop for the past 10 years, I recently bought a Windows laptop to use with Piano Marvel. I was astonished at just how awful the Windows experience was. From the mandatory online user accounts, to the pre-installed garbage. Not to mention the in-your-face-constantly notifications, and forced updates. Using Linux feels unshackled and more polished.
Harmless, sure. Charming? I don’t think so, but that’s just me.
You can see it happening on the other Mac Screen
GSuite is (or rather was, until they renamed it) specifically the corporate version.
I'm not sure non-Mac systems preclude this. In fact, I never had RSI or wrist pain issues until my boss pressured me into using a MacBook. I now use a standard (= Windows) keyboard and remapped several keys.

On the topic of keys, Mac users often fail to mention the reverse situation. Coming to a Mac from other environments, the keymaps are not intuitive to me and often leads to frustration, especially if you're frequently switching between work (Mac) and personal (Linux) machines.
> It's about the fact that the scanning occurs locally on your device, which is meaningfully different

Yeah it IS different, most people feel much better about things that happen on device.

Since this only happens for photos on their way to iCloud, in your analogy it would be like searching the bags when you put them in the cab to go to the airport.

Furthermore, it would be like TSA had a machine that could search your bags for guns, without any human even seeing an x-ray of them. Plus the machine would need 30 gun alerts before it takes any action at all.

I don't know about you but I would not have any issues whatsoever with that.
YouTube has a ton of obscure music that can’t be found on Spotify, plus things like old TV specials, theme tunes, outtakes and the like.

The quality is usually pretty bad, it’s true. But in many cases, this stuff is almost impossible to buy even if you wanted to, so YouTube is your only option.

YT is also fairly unpleasant to use, which is why a lot of people go for youtube-dl.
Google sheets with JavaScript seems to be far more useful doing business automation tasks in small companies.

In my world, Office is only used when you are consulting to companies where most data is for monthly meetings made of people that don't really care.
The last three companies I've worked at have all been GSuite shops.
I believe you, and I can't explain why it did work for English speakers and not for the French ones. Maybe I'm wrong in my hypothesis by the way, that's just how I feel it. Follower does not bear this pejorative meaning for French people.

Maybe Twitter did push for this word in English and it worked? And then people who translated Twitter's interface in French and decided to leave follower "untranslated" actually sealed the destiny of this word in the French language?
>There. Is. Not. Enough. Water. Anything else you hear is just a lie.

At zero cost for usage sure. But there is plenty of water if you price it.
> You can use WSL but file access is dog slow

You can also use WSL2, which has fast file I/O. Unless you're trying to write to files in /mnt/c, at which point the comparison makes less sense, and a more accurate comparison would be trying to write to files on a remote Windows machine from Linux (also slow).

Um, it is the "real thing". It's running in a hypervisor, on the real CPU core.
Is Google Chrome's UI Superior to Firefox?
I have been using Firefox Developer Edition since 2018. As time goes on, I notice every UI change seems to be an imitation of Google Chrome. Most recently, the popups used for stuff like SSO.

I don't have a strong opinion on the changes, but I will say this, I had ZERO issue with how Firefox used to look.

Am I missing something here? Do most of you consider Google Chrome to be the state of the art for web browser UI/UX?
For this to work you need at least some income — in fact this is the business model of many parking lots! Buy some land, make a bit of cash flow, and if it appreciates cash out and someone builds a condo.
I see a market for a site called "The late review".
My Spanish teachers from Argentina did the same. When coming across words and phrases that they were unfamiliar with (hey, they don't have the dictionary memorized either) they almost always sent me something later (or brought it up in the next session) citing RAE or a source that itself cited RAE.

The former wraps the latter, I think.
Oh man. I just did a board bring-up recently and didn't notice that the flash chip I was having trouble with was a previous version than the one we specified. I only just barely managed to get those boards working, and best as I can tell, it was the conductivity of the particular flux I was using to reflow the part that was nudging an NC connection to actually use it's internal pull-up. When the factory couldn't follow my steps, they finally realized that if they were going to substitute that chip, they'd need to add a 10k pullup resistor on a pin that had a use on that revision but not on the one we wanted. What's worse, is even if I'd noticed that the chip was older, looking at the datasheet for it that I had access to, nowhere did it mention a need for a pullup on that pin. Only the factory datasheet mentioned issues with the internal pullup and suggested using an external one.
Cool project!

Not to hijack your thread but I want to leave some thoughts as a former vol trader.

Anyone trading options more than lottery tickets should really invest time into learning about BSM/greeks and some more advanced options structures and vol strategies.

For instance, if you paper traded a delta neutral book simulating a market maker, you’d understand how options pinning works (it’s not manipulation, it’s a side effect).

WHO Says No Conclusive Evidence On Need For Booster Shots

Richard Hamming wrote a book, "The Art of Doing Science and Engineering", which - despite its name - is more or less a memoir of his own scientific career. It's a fun read if you're interested in that culture.
Respectfully I think what the past has shown is that the people who can nail this aren't "in the building" so to speak @ Google. They have fantastic engineers but I'd argue a true unified communication tool is primarily a UI/UX challenge. I'm sure they have great UI/UX people there but this does not seem to be a key part of their culture.

This was a mistake on my part but it was my singular ambition in life to build a messaging company to sell it to them to make money off this problem. After moderate success (several million in revenue) I reached out to them and they blew me off. So at least in my experience they aren't overly excited about acquiring companies to get people in the building who specialize in this.
Not only that but if you’re paying a mortgage you’re not paying rent. Buying means your housing cost is now an investment (minus interest, tax, and upkeep) rather than just an expense. Now it could well be a terrible investment, but in theory you’ll own something of value in the end in addition to the housing you had as you paid.
Yes there are. Tons. I live in South Africa and feel completely safe. And I don't live in a security estate either. It's not as crazy as what you see on the news. It is however all about location.
It wasn't in the above list, but Apple did completely remove PHP in Monterey.
I love your country, your people and your food. I've been several times and considered living there (ultimately, plans changed). By all means, promote it. But not with lies. Corruption is a big problem in Romania: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_Romania
suburbs typically cost less per sq foot than dense areas. higher density only benefits developers who can now get revenue on the N plots of land they converted from 1.
Yes, agreed. This is basically what we do at my work: plot stuff from PLCs onto Grafana, while coping with intermittent connectivity. I'd love to buy a ready-made product that could do it, but there's literally nothing out there that quite comes close.

As well as the things you identified, I suspect that there's just a lot of mistrust of open source in the industrial world - there's that whole thing of perceived value being directly proportional to product cost, plus commercial vendors also tend to at least offer training and tech support, even if they're not always the most helpful.
But in the terminal they are mapped to Ctrl+Shift+c and Ctrl+Shift+v so the muscle memory breaks and is super annoying
Going for a year of holiday on the spanish governments' expense (paro) is definitely a thing.

It is extremely common for employees to ask to be fired so they can get unemployment benefits (paro) and travel for a year.

But, after living there for 6 years I left because the reason these things are not taken care of is because the electorate sees them as perks. Spain has a huge cultural problem when it comes to work ethics and paying their fair share of taxes.
I hope they get ruined because I get ruined paying for my health insurance.

Testing of K8s resources using Raku and Sparrow
Hi! I've recently added 2 new plugins to validate k8s resources:

deployments
statefull sets
config maps
secrets
They are written on Raku and have Raku API.

For example, to verify k8s deployment and access it's entries:

my %data = task-run "dpl check", "k8s-deployment-check" %(
name => "animals",
namespace => "pets",
cat => %(
command => "/usr/bin/cat",
args => [
"eat", "milk", "fish"
],
env => [
"ENABLE_LOGGING"
]
volume-mounts => {
foo-bar => "/opt/foo/bar",
}
)
);

# Access k8s resource

say %data.keys.perl;

# ("env", "image", "imagePullPolicy", "command",
# "terminationMessagePolicy", "name", "envFrom", "ports",
# "__data__",
# "args",
# "terminationMessagePath", "livenessProbe", "resources", "volumeMounts").Seq

say %data.command;

I wasn't arguing which is better, just that it would be easy to switch to.

As someone using Linux on the desktop for a looong time, I don't have any real arguments against any of these except 1(I quite like Gnome).

I think it just comes down to how you uses a computer. I mainly program, web browse, and listen to music. I don't game, watch movies, nor use or want to use 'business' apps. Abiword is about the most business app I use with any regularity. If I -have- to do something else, usually GDocs can handle it.

Re: 5) It might depend on the person. I've only ever used Gimp, and while it has redone the UI multiple times, and some things remain nonintuitive, I find myself around it well enough. When PhotoPea launched with its PS style UI, I wanted to give it a try to see what I was missing. I find myself lost, probably how a PS user feels going into Gimp.
Micro-Levers
Not an inch. Since most people trust Facebook with their photos and google with all their emails, both of them mining your personal data for ads, obviously they will not mind Apple scanning their photos to prevent horrific crimes.
You seem to have concluded that sales numbers somehow change the nature of what Apple is doing here.

Good sales numbers would be a strong signal that users don't care (or don't understand). This doesn't change the fundamental issues with these changes.
Yeah, adverse possession laws which kick in after years/decades of using some property make a lot of sense. You can even think of them as a sort of statute of limitations on property disputes
It starts with a general statement that 'squatters are the scum of the earth' and then uses the specific examples of some individual meth-head squatters to support that claim. The casual reader is likely to take away an inference that all squatters are somewhat similarly bad.
