Maybe I’m completely off the mark but I feel that if Apple isn’t making good money on their stores, they will shorten their support period for their phones.

Apple will lose all incentive to makes sure their products last since their profit will come from selling new phones only - just like Android phone makers; right now Apple would rather you keep using an old iPhone and continue to give them money via the App Store than risk you switching to another brand and losing all revenue from you.

I quite like my phones lasting a long time - also more electronic waste isn’t good for anyone.
> They’re reporting on the increase in evil activities by anti-environmental mega corps

Is there an increase, though?

The BBC has sadly become known to be rather loose with facts. The answer to the upstream question here would let us know if there is an increase and what kind. Absolute? Relative? How big of a problem is this, really, or is it more of the BBC fomenting noise and anxiety for clicks.

Ask HN: Secure by Default Web Framework?
Are there any production-quality web frameworks that are secure "by default"? I'm an experienced software developer but completely new to web development. I just discovered csrf, xss, cors, etc which seem to be easy to fall into by mistake/inexperience and I really don't want to goof-out.
if the number of police rise does the ratio of police being killed on the job stay the same?

what if 5% of the workers at big corporations are willing to kill activists for activism, those 5% are busy killing activists, if the activists increase unless the corporations increase the number of people they have willing to kill activists it follows that there are not going to be a significant increase in the number of murdered activists.

In short there can be all sorts of reasons why the percentage of activists killed for activism would not remain constant.

Of course it wouldn't. But imagine this: you have an urn with N red and N black balls, and you draw a certain amount of balls randomly.

Then you repeat the experiment, but you have replaced a certain number of black balls with an equal amount of red balls.

Wouldn't you expect to see more red balls the second time around?
> that nobody feels bad for

Nobody except Apple’s legions of fans and loyal customers. Only the predatory companies who salivate about exploiting those users are so eager for any chance to cut down the tall poppy.
But there's something I don't get about that way of thinking, like, who's stopping those who provide "deep value content" from making such content?

It's not like Youtube makes you pay for hosted videos if they don't get monetized properly. So in a way those who are properly monetizing Youtube are helping to pay for a free platform, no?

You may argue that such "deep value content" won't be boosted by the algorithms, and I don't see the problem of that either since it's such a niche content that wouldn't even make sense to be considered popular by the algorithm standards. Now you even have the "Bell Notifications" to get notified about new videos, so if that niche content finds true fans why can't they simply just do that?

You have plenty of channels like that, and they still grow.

Maybe the problem is the motivation for those who make such niche content that don't get the proper monetization, but that it's mostly a problem of the audience (not all niches are worth the same, because people have different behaviors and spending habits, and that's fine). That's why the "finances" niche is more valuable then "programmers" niche (or at least was some time ago, now I don't know).

Or am I thinking about this in the wrong way?

Interesting that the three idiots presented as successors to Merkel aren't a prominent topic on the list.

Computer science is extremely vertical field of study these days. At first it wasn't even seen as higher education and was often combined with other fields. Philosophy was a popular choice.

That said, I think while amost everybody knows someone like that, I believe that it is often the opposite and many devs should be enouraged to be a bit more forthcomming.

Tax hikes (1st, 3rd), Care for the elderly and Refugees are all related.

I recently moved to Italy. I was extremely surprised with the contradiction of thought of the average (+50y/o) Italian.

Newborns in Europe are in a decline (specially in rich countries like Germany) while life expectancy is on the rise (old people live longer). How are you supposed to fund that? There are less young people working and creating value for the society and you have more old people to feed, cure and maintain. In this scheme, the only "solution" that the state has is to raise taxes.

Refugees (and african/muslim) migration seem to be a good "solution" to this. There are a lot of africans coming for work, generally very hardworking people. They will create value, consume and pay taxes and eventually complement the lowest-layers of the demographic pyramid (young active people).

Yet, the average Italian (specially +50) is extremely racist. They want them out of their country. I've met some africans and they're all great people. YES, they are different (culturally) and they have a hard time learning the language, but that doesn't mean they can't integrate into society.

Anyways, I'm surprised by the contradiction. They want to pay lower taxes (who doesn't, right?), but they don't want to accept younger people to work. baffled

EDIT: I'm speaking about MY experience in Italy. I've heard Germany is a lot friendlier with immigrants and it's one of the least racists countries. STILL, the "refugees" fear is N4 in that survey.

I use Nix for that all of the time.

My workflow is usually like this:
* upstream has a bug.
* find and fix the bug, send a PR.
* update the Nix code to build with either the PR branch as the source, or the PR diff as a patch.

What's missing is a good tool to scan for new releases and remove the override. Other than that it works really well.

It's much nicer to run a terraform provider from a branch than having to publish a temporary fork to registry.terraform.io
My guess is that was under "Politicians Overwhelmed" but with Merkel's retirement so close at hand and her outsized role in politics for so long I am surprised it didn't rank higher.

It is not free to switch. I am not on Apple phones but I own a PlayStation, if/when Sony screws me over I can't move my swap my fingers and my PS4 transforms into an XBOX and my games are transferred. To switch over you need to sell your old device, buy a new one, then buy again most of the applications/games. If you have some cloud integration you will probably have to sort that out too, cancel subscriptions, move/backup your data etc.

On a different topic I think that if I pay the full price on a console then I own it and I should have the right to unlock it, they can ban me from multiplayer games if they can't trust the OS but I should have an unlock code.
Any tutorials on Web Fortran?
Honestly, they're both very good, and any discussion of this is going to be almost bordering on opinion and little else.

Here are a few potential downsides:

- The 'kool kids' tend to use brew -- so sometimes you end up with packages that are not in the ports ecosystem. That said, the total number of ports is, I believe, about 4x larger than brew's formulae. But take that number with a pinch of salt.

- Every time you upgrade the OS (e.g. 10.14 to 10.15) you need to effectively reinstall ports. This sounds hard, but it isn't -- it's also well documented [1]. It's because they link against various OS-specific foundations.

- Very rarely you run into apt-style "dependency hell". This has only happened to me once or twice in ~15 years of using it, and is easily fixed.

The upsides:

- All that being said, it's rock stable

- The documentation is excellent

- It doesn't come with google analytics by default (unlike brew -- which is opt-out, I should say)

- Macports retains the entire dependency tree of a package and offers both source and binary builds

> The real question is : "Is environmental activism today more dangerous than it was yesterday".

Why would that be a real question? The activism itself should not be life threatening activity. If the amount of killed activists is proportionally the same every year ... then there is still have real issue.
You know what? Sure, let’s assume the BBC is “FUDing for clicks”. We’ll ignore the source report, and general common sense.

Do you think that these murders (as stable or as decreasing as you believe them to be) should not be reported on? And that your statistical skills somehow matter to the real world activists dying?

I've always thought that was fascinating as well. You see the same dynamic in the U.S. where a huge amount of the population growth is from immigration or recentish immigrant families... without them either taxes go up, services have to be cut, but people think they're stealing jobs or destroying American culture. Maybe people just believe it's worth destroying our social systems to maintain the "culture" of the country but feels more like a knee jerk racist reaction by many without really understanding the huge benefit immigrants (especially skilled ones) bring to countries.

For the most part, Folifort can be taken with no solution and is amazingly protected. You won't ever confront any incidental effects as well. Notwithstanding, a few grown-ups may have a few hypersensitivities to spices or plant removes.

In case that is the situation, don't spare a moment to converse with your PCP. Additionally, it is ideal in the event that you take Folifort for 90 to 180 days as your body would then become accustomed to the supplements and sustenance and you will step by step see dependable and extremely durable outcomes as well.

No, it's a cynical question, which derails the conversation into an arbitrary technical debate. It implies/hints at/suggests there is methological issue. Murder is not some statistical event you have to expect, account for.

It's always great to see a robust new threadpool. Most of the stock ones I've used have horrible characteristics - for example on my Threadripper lots of production apps will spawn 48 or more threadpool threads and the scheduling/throughput characteristics on that are generally pretty dire because they needlessly compete for resources, etc. They tend to allocate garbage for every work item too, which makes them a bad choice for realtime scenarios. It's genuinely frustrating that most processes on my machine have 128 threads or more due to unintelligently scaling off ProcessorCount without an upper limit. For example, GIMP's bad threading policy means that operations like resizing an image take seconds instead of 100ms or less.

I've been using a custom threadpool for a while now but writing your own without the expertise necessary can be a real pain.

The larger point is that some (very small) percentage of people will be murdered every year. If the number of climate activists increases, the chance of one of them being murdered increases with it - possibly just by being involved in a random shooting or family drama, completely unrelated to their activism.

I agree that murder is horrible, but the article seems to try to sell that these murders are related to their activism, which is not something you can say just based on the absolute number. You need to have the ratio to compare to the last year and to the base rate in the general population to make a better statement. Without it, we can't be sure of the real cause and might try to fix this at the wrong place, leading to us to not prevent murders effectively - so yes, you need to get your statistics right, even when talking about horrible incidents.
I didn't say there's nothing newsworthy about these murders. I said, in my paragraph, that sensationalized articles in general (and note that I didn't say this one definitely is in this category) often don't report the base rate, because it would reveal they're reporting a non-story. And I said that to counter cenophor's objection to ArchieMaclean's question, by pointing out it's pretty much the first question one should be asking when discussing an article/report that doesn't provide that number.

> The pertinent comparison (for those interested in the whole "murders" thing) is with how many murders there were in previous years, whether it's gone up, etc, information which is covered in the article.

It wasn't, at least not directly. The numbers I saw are:

- 227 activists killed in 2020, the titular record number

- 4 activits / week on average being killed since the signing of the Paris Agreement in 2015[0]

You can tease out some insight from deconstructing the average (e.g. the 2020 number is above the average), but not much really. Not enough to tell you whether something has changed about this situation.

Also, please don't assume people asking for more clarity and better data are ignoring the human life context of the story.

There seems to be an error in the reported context of that figure - Paris Agreement was adopted in 2015, but signed in April 2016 and became effective from November 2016 - per - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Agreement.

Okay, let me rephrase that.

If one believes that the events described in Revelation are events which are destined to occur in our future, and they were written about from the perspective of a man who lived in the first century AD, then it is worth considering the possibility that the events described would involve systems that would be difficult for him to understand and describe in the way that we see them.

Under such a set of assumptions, someone who is interested in interpreting the prophecy should wonder whether biometric surveillance is the sort of system that would be expressed by such a first century writer in the way that the beast system is expressed in Revelation.

One thing that completely changed my thought process and increased intellectual faculties tremendously was working in IT, precisely in Operations. The amount of problems I had to solve helped me think in a certain way. Some problems were easy, others hard, some at leisure others under pressure, but it's the constant and consistent exercise over the years that unlocked problem solving, reason and logic capacity that I posses now and can apply in any life situation following established patterns.

Logic can be described in a book, but I don't think it can be taught in a book. It's a consequence of solving a lot of problems over a long period of time. My suggestion would be to pick up any book/website with programming problems and work on them every day changing the problems every so often, however nothing beats actual work experience where you have someone to explain to you why something is a good approach and why not. Understand what is expected of you, see how it fits in the big picture and start by breaking it down into smaller pieces. It's very simple, just getting it takes time.
