It added something for me, which is why I took the time and effort to explain why beyond upvoting it.
Flatpak doesn't hurt performance any worse than something like Docker. It's Snap that's slower since they keep the entire app compressed on disk. Permissions are also up to the app developer in the case of Flatpak so if they don't use portals like they're supposed to then they can just allow the app to access the whole host filesystem. You can change this easily too through your terminal or an app like Flatseal.

Consciousness being one of the fundamental hard problems of course, it is not just a matter of coming to terms. My point was not that philosophical issues don’t exist and of course one of the biggest philosophical issues isn’t just definitions :)

In this case it comes to something also very common in philosophy, discussions that can be questioned as “are we discussing terms or philosophy or both at the same time?” and often the case is “both” making it very hard to have a philosophical discussion when opposing sides disagree both on the terminology and the philosophy and don’t separate the two disagreements very well.
I think this is a closely related and equally important quote (emphasis added):

> “okay, there are, four home improvement projects that all feel essential to making my living space acceptable. I'm going to deliberately give up all hope of making progress on three of them until I have seen one of them through to completion, or consciously abandoned it because it turned out to be a bad idea, that's okay too.”

My biggest sources of anxiety have always been those projects that I should have pulled the plug on looooooong before I actually pulled the plug. Having a bunch of projects going all at once not only allows you to switch focus as a coping mechanism, but also allows you to avoid facing the (possibly somewhat traumatic) reality that the project needs to be killed.
Most of us are also OK with laws forcing everyone to wear pants in public. We don't consider it a serious infringement of our personal freedom.

Being forced to carry a pregnancy to term -- even an especially risky one, or one that's the result of rape or incest -- has significant impacts on both the mother and the community that could be net negative instead of positive.

Everything about a vaccination is supposed to have net positive effects, both for the individual recipient and the public health and welfare.

Not a game dev but I don't think that's really feasible in a world where network latency is a thing, and it's necessary to send game state to a client that may not currently be visible on screen, unless you'd like us to move to a Stadia-like model of game streaming and dumb terminals.
> But let's not pretend that there's no precedent for taxing unrealized capital gains.

Are you mistaking property taxes for something else ? Property taxes are imposed on property value and have nothing to do with the gain or loss in the value of the property.

But if you want to apply the same parallel to stocks then I think we should call it 'wealth tax' rather than anything to do with income and do not tax the gains (realized or otherwise) but the total value. So if you buy a stock worth $100 and it is $50 next day you still pay $0.5 as taxes even though you might have lost money. I do not think that is a good idea but that would be somewhat consistent with property taxes.
Maybe not, but this community does.

Their closest Fargate equivalent is probably Azure Container Instances. I haven't tried it recently but last time I did the startup time was very slow for new containers (5mins+). However that may have improved now.
So in essence if a crime or wrong doing is done by an entity and money is exchanged to reduce penalty it is considered a settlement. But the same thing done between people is a bribe.

Here the entity is technically abusing their people given authority to enrich itself and people it’s responsible to and letting go of the other entity responsible for wrongdoing. Charging more money for that is ok. But if you swap that entity for people or person it’s a crime?

I understand this is all interpretations but seems like a pretty dated way to bring “justice”
I think you’re conflating the systems outcomes with the systems intents, and you think if we made the system with good intent, the outcomes cannot be questioned.

But in reality, the system is poorly constructed, and often co-opted by bad actors in law enforcement. All apples in that barrel are bad, when they’re strong arming money from people, wouldn’t you agree?

If this was a story about China, I bet your little angry dick would be shuddering with rage, wouldn’t it?

I'm pointing out that you everyone should really be focused on local politics. And suggesting the bullies who disagree should leave Texans alone.

This law does almost no damage and from the majority of Texas perspective it's a net positive. I don't see why anyone, especially Apple, should be applying pressure externally.
That’s not stupid, that’s really cool!
For programming projects, I personally find that the ritual of setting up all of the infrastructure is very likely to distract me from actually building the thing.

I can be obsessive about doing things the right way, but my most successful projects have always been the ones where the code looks like I dragged it kicking and screaming over the finish line and the infrastructure is basically nonexistent. And sometimes I clean it up afterwards, once I am motivated by the success of the project.

By infrastructure I mean things like CICD or even tests. If I have to choose between thorough testing and being able to finish the project at all, testing can wait.

Is there a good source for info on ketogenic diets for type 1 diabetics? My youngest has been on pump therapy for the past 5 years and is completely burnt out from all of the alerts and scares (some of it is self inflicted). She was on a medtronic closed loop system for 4 years and that was the source of most of her frustration. She's on g6+tslim now which has been much better, but she still falls off the wagon regularly.

I just think a keto diet would make it easier for her, but I'm seeing all sorts of conflicting info on it and her doctors don't support it. I've done it a few times in the past and getting started is the hardest part. I'd like for her to try but I'm getting no support on the idea. ?

Well I agree with you about the blockchain. Cannot see a legitimate reason to be using it. In fact it might limit scalability.

Thought the reason you bring up blockchain, like AI, is to get funding. But there the funding has already been arranged. There are legit reasons to use the blockchain (and even more for AI) but just not for a social network.
Yes. It's so bad that I find Google's own messages like Google Alerts ending up in my Spam folder. You'd think they'd whitelist their own emails.
I hope things improve with this change of personnel. Recently, after years of not editing or trying to correct anything on Wikipedia, I saw a glaring error in one the chemistry entries—a common enough chemical—and attempted to correct it (it was just too gross an error for me to let it pass).

Anyway, I gave up after it accused me or the domain I originated from of spam, abusive practices or whatever. I then sent a message to Wiki 'Help' to the effect that I'd been chucked off without having attempted to edit anything for about a decade and said that I wasn't interested in being 'de-blackballed' but if they wanted to correct the error themselves then here were the details. Within a few hours the error had been corrected.

It seems to me the simple way around these problems is to stop people editing pages directly and to just submit them to be curated. Edits are checked anyway so I can't see why there would be a problem doing this way.

One way or other, it's got to change (I've often seen errors and from my past bad experiences years ago long before this incident, I've learned just to ignore them—trying to correct them is just too much trouble).
Nice hypothesis. Why do you think that approach has never worked well?
The easy way to get more data through a port is to add more data lines (and update the connector to support it). I guess the hard way would be to use fiber (another different connector) or maybe coax data lines instead of differential lines (connector might still work but connecting old and new systems would be interesting).

So if I’m understanding this proposal right, we will never live in a world where improving on USBC will happen?
This is not accurate:

> every time a report of details and extent of their censorship and hiding is submitted to HN, the same people doing the censoring are allowed to flag the article out of existence

You're pushing the door in the wrong direction! We're open to these topics being discussed on HN. They've been discussed a lot and they can, should, and will be discussed more, as significant new information arises. But the underlying submission needs to be substantive enough to support a substantive HN discussion. The initial conditions of a thread are the article and the title. If those are flamebait, we're guaranteed to get a flamewar, and that's not what this site is for.

In this case I tried several times and didn't see a way to salvage either the title or the article in a way that would clear that bar. That's a quite different problem than the one you describe. If you want to see this topic discussed on HN, you should understand and work with the goals of the site, not assume that the people running it (or the community at large) are somehow against you.
Poor people can save up to buy an inexpensive car.

Another perspective on such topics is to not take them so literally.

The texts can be extremely useful not just for the friends and family of the deceased, but also for when there is no literal loss of life and just intense life changes (‘ego death’, ‘rebirth’).

Regarding judgement, you could look at this as simple data analysis to make decisions on one’s life - did the efforts achieve the desired outcomes? We’re the efforts insufficient? Was the impact of prior life choices as expected?

With esoteric teachings, assuming they can only be useful when followed religiously would be akin to reading programming tutorials and assuming they are only for creating todo lists and chat apps(even if they may be!)
Yes, it's getting more common.
I can think of plenty of reasons why a police force could be advantageous, but my point was constitutionality. I don't believe it's unconstitutional.

For reference, bail and repos are done in a similar manner and are way more intrusive (taking someones car). I don't really see your point? In this case, someone is merely sued for $10k (as opposed to jail or losing license).
> the program would still need to be updated to support those new libraries

Really? You think programs can't just load all of the libraries in a given directory?

> And new mice and touchscreens have gotten new hardware features

Yeah, like... more buttons and higher DPI

except they still boil down to the exact same interface. "Button X was pressed... button Y was released... moved +X+Y"

For real the biggest innovation I've seen in touchscreens is a sensor that tells how far away a stylus is or how hard it's been pressed. And that's really _not_ a big breaking change to require an update to every piece of software.

> Even something as simple as upping the resolution of the device can require an API break to widen the data type.

Yeah okay but that hasn't really happened any time recently. Or are you going to tell me that we should support a screen whose resolution is measured in _more than_ billions of pixels wide and tall? because I'm pretty sure your eye can't even _see_ that many pixels.

> Unicode is required if you want to have decent support for non-English text

Yes okay that's nice. That doesn't change the fact that unicode is broken in most apps.

> programs that don't handle a complex data type will just ignore that type

Programs that do handle that type are exactly what I want to stop. I absolutely never ever want to copy HTML from somewhere but there's often no way to disable it. Formatted text? Trash. Send me a file. Picture? Trash. Send me a file.
> They are not generally considered indigenous. What about them?

I think there are examples, but it depends on how broad your definition of “colonized” is. The most extreme cases are the various isolated tribes of the world (of course, everything is interconnected, so a disingenuous person could argue that our impacts to the climate which affect their lifestyles constitute a kind of colonization, which is to say that disingenuous people like to stretch semantics).

> Examples of such groups

Virtually any non-indigenous people who have been conquered by an empire. The Irish are one of thousands of concrete examples.

This also happened to me. A very important email was put under the promotions. Usually I just kept the gmail tab open and didn't check my phone. Fortunately for me, I noticed this mail on my phone when I was clearing the unread status.

Ask HN: What do you think about the Oracle Cloud?
A gartner report came out recently which said some positive things about oracle's cloud offering. But I tried to google for reviews from actual users/customers and came up with nothing.

This is a much better criticism of Star Wars and Disney than it is the use of JEDI as an acronym. The strongest point they make ahout that, in my opinion, is that the associations with Star Wars might be unnecessarily distracting. Everything else seems like a serious reach to me.

> Suppose you buy a house (or land) for $100,000 and it increases in value to $200,000. Do you pay taxes on [the] $100,000 [gain] because that's "income", even though it's just a number?

You do not.

> Why yes, yes you do. [...] But let's not pretend that there's no precedent for taxing unrealized capital gains.

I think you may be confused; that's not how capital gains taxes work in the US (or anywhere else I'm familiar with offhand.)

(I assume you're not trying to conflate property taxes and capital gains taxes, because comparing a tax on a stock versus a tax on a flow like that would be quite silly. But if you are doing that, then I'd suggest making the argument explicit, and also providing some pretty extensive justification, because that's going to be a hard mountain to climb.)
Heh, thanks. Fix should be live shortly.
> Every cloud provider has their expensive “thing”. Ingress is always cheap, egress always expensive. AWS has their “Managed NAT Gateway”, after all, the sit-in-the-corner money printer that never fails.

This is my pet peeve with cloud providers. Each one of them seem to have a gotcha somewhere hidden.

It's very hard to compare what your final costs will be early in the project. You try to compare GCloud, AWS and Azure on VM, ingress, egress. After that comparisons become harder as services don't necessarily map 1:1. You end up choosing one and always find something else that adds to the cost you forgot to include, or maybe you just underestimated some metric.

Egress feels abusive pretty much across the board. Without really a good reason. Feels like they all sat at a table and decided to fix the price there.

While you are developing your business you find you want to use some feature (like managed VMs on Azure's case) that is priced way out of a reasonable amount. You feel robbed, maybe you can still pay for it with your budget, but even then it leaves a bad taste, like you are getting a bad deal.
The crash was in August, well before this feature came out. The FSD rewrite has been fixing the issues with static object detection. Recommend watching Andrej Karpathy's AI Day presentation if you're interested in how and why static object detection is such a challenge.
Prototyping and hobby use are the two obvious use cases I can think of.
It is a factor. It is hard for me to argue that it did not have significant impact and I don't really have hard data.

That said, all the people in my circle with remote jobs upgraded their desktops or lappies. It cannot be an insignificant number given initial pandemic panic and current delta resurgence. And between China cracking down on bitcoin ( check 3060s prices there and you will be left wondering why the prices did not drop significantly here ), Treasury issuing crypto guidance on ransomware payments, and eth moving to POS, it is harder and harder to blame crypto miners.

Frankly, they sound like convenient scapegoat.

I won't go into details, but I had the option of buying 3070 yesterday and 3090 2 weeks ago. I passed on both precisely due to recent uncertainty.
> Kind of weirds people out when … you message them the instant they sit down at their PC.

I miss the AIM days when you’d hear the “door opening” sound when someone signed on. It was totally normal to immediately ping someone then because signing onto AIM was asking to be pinged. And that sound made your heart skip a beat because it might be the girl you like and she might even IM you first :o
> huge loans from banks at favorable rates then claim interest paid on taxes

So what? The loan has to be paid back one way or another. Any time person sells his can of soda to pay that loan they pay taxes on those realized gains. If they used the loan money to create new business created new profits and paid the loan without selling the can of soda that even bigger win win as they created new wealth that made everyone more rich, paid more taxes, paid the loans as well. Not to mention when the can of soda is sold in future government can stil earn more tax revenue.

It almost makes me thing people hate others for being wealth and somehow want to see them getting hurt rather than promiting a sensible low tax policy. Isn't the world better off because Bezos or Musk can borrow against their equity and create new companies rather than handing that money over to federal government ? What possible good can come out of giving more money to federal government ?
no you're fine without a filled github account. most engineers don't write code during their free time and, like you, work in private repos for their corporate job.
I don't see what's not to understand or what logging out has to do with it. I have a browser tab for an IM application, that's also available as a native app on my phone. That tab is always open on my desktop. If I have other tabs open and am doing stuff, I still want my IM status to be 'available', and I want all notifications about new chats to go to that tab and to no other devices, while I am on my computer doing stuff.

If I go out for a walk or I go watch some TV or otherwise stop using my computer, depending on the chat app I want to either automatically be 'unavailable' (for work chat app), or I want to stay 'available' but have notifications go to my phone instead of the chat tab (for friends' chat apps).
I once ran up a $15,000 bill on Azure completely by accident when trying to get one of their video processing services to work. Once I figured out the service wasn't going to do what I wanted at a price I could afford, I tried to detach it and shut it down and thought I had succeeded. I didn't.

The offending process costing me money didn't appear on the Azure console and I had no idea it was running, how to access it to stop it or even to know what was going on. When it turned up on my bill I nearly had a heart attack.

Thankfully they let me out of it once I pointed out I was getting billed for something I couldn't see. I appreciated that greatly but I've never gone back to Azure and the experience scarred me so much I don't think I ever will. This was about 4 years ago so more than likely they have sorted it out.

They keep reminding me I have $50 of test/dev credit on Azure through my Visual Studio subscription but it flat out frightens me to even try to use it.

AWS isn't perfect but at least you have half a chance of working out what is costing you money through the billing console.
This is extremely common for new open source software. You can find plenty of interesting projects only packaged for Arch and Nix, because packaging for those distros is extremely easy. It's just a matter of time and effort, and this is a volunteer project.
