All of these are criticisms of heavily centralized power strucrures. It's not like everyone in Italy had to come to a consensus to burn someone at the stake. It's the same with redlining - a few people in the federal housing administration wrote these rules that everyone else had to follow.

How can 90 people discriminate against a group of 10 people if every adverse action against one person requires the other 99 to agree? This system makes abuse much more difficult than the system we have now.
I find languages are pretty easy to pick up after the first few. What seems to be the barrier nowadays is frameworks. How do people go about learning a new framework? Obviously most of them have an intro project to follow on with, but they tend to be pretty simplistic, and once that's done, getting to the complicated bits that you actually want to implement seem to be the barrier.

There's a difference between drivers being upstreamed to the Linux kernel, and a datasheet being available. The source code is not the datasheet, and if there are bugs in the driver, where is the datasheet to compare the implementation to?

When it comes to hardware, source code availability is not sufficient.

Other OS platforms can have different driver architectures, different kernel ABIs and other platform quirks in comparison to Linux, and having to reverse engineer a driver for another platform from a Linux kernel driver is not very open. And then there are licensing considerations to be taken into account as well.

Linux is not the only opensource operating system in existence :-/ And for a project like Haiku, we don't have the people-power to reverse engineer Linux drivers, and again, the question of the GPL also applies when our kernel & drivers are MIT licensed.
Yup, we're still far from having open source Windows, Active Directory, SQL Server, Teams, Github, Office... or any "central" product essential to their business offers.
> I have an similar annoyance of people who have lengthy rants against corporations that boil down to "why won't someone else do something about this".

That's completely fair and I get where you are coming from.

> Ultimately, the problem is a combination of things...

Sadly you are correct and that's one of the things I just can't make peace with -- a lot of liberties are not only at stake here, but they are being relentlessly attacked every day, yet people still choose to divide in camps and scream at each other, while the common enemy grows stronger every month... :(

> You're already grousing at a group of people who's most likely to be doing everything you think they should be doing...

Yes and no. I realize what you say about the hardware that some HN users are using might be true and I'll concede it immediately. There's another group though, same ones I kept talking about -- those that have the free time and energy, maybe even the resources, to try and improve things for everybody else, yet they chose not to do so.

As a guy with a streak of super sh_tty luck in the last ~18 months or so (changed several employers; of course not only their fault, mine too) who is just dreaming of having that free time and energy, it's honestly infuriating for me to sit helplessly on the side and fight furiously for stabilizing my life almost every day, while a lot of these (likely) hedonists just parrot ideal theories on a forum...

Sorry. As you can see, I am very jaded. Still, I prefer to express myself openly. I know it's offensive to some but I choose to believe that people can and will see through my being jaded and find my true motives and goals. Like you did.
If every one of your neighbors is prepared to make you leave - for any wrong reason, you are then isolated among them. A capacity to remain there may help somewhat, but doesn't make up for the unfortunate circumstance, that you are surrounded by people who rightly or wrongly reject you.
I recommend anything by George F. Simmons, as well as anything by Russians. Seriously, if it's a Russian sounding author's name, then odds are good that it's well written.

in my experience (going back to ~1998), the best thai food is in thailand, though you can get comparably good thai food in cali (sapp and jitlada in LA!). when i visited thailand, most thai food was sold on the street and out of 'garages', with seating that straddled inside and the sidewalk. sit-down restaurants were relatively rare and mostly catered to westerners and rich asians (the food generally wasn't any better, but it was pricier). ingredients in thailand were super-fresh (especially the veges and fruit), so i can't see how that's a real advantage of american thai food.

I've crashed a Lime/Bird at least 3 times, none of them related to cars or other people in any way.

1. Taking a pedestrian bridge off-ramp in the rain at max velocity because I wanted to see if I could take the corner going that fast.

2. Finding a quarter-pipe set up next to a bridge. How can you resist trying to shred it? It went well on run 1 thru 9. Run # 10, not so well.

3. Driving one home drunk at 230am and trying to drive it with only one hand.

My point is that it's pretty easy to fall off if you are pushing the envelope in any way at all. Who the hell falls of a scooter? Hah! Who the hell rides one exactly how you are supposed to? Totally boring.

This doesn’t seem like a great idea in general, since the standard library is usually low-level code, aggressively optimized for speed, that is not at all typical of applications written in that language.

I was talking about Seattle in that instance. And it comes down to not creating congestion and contention for things like parking spaces in the first place. Many cities run into scalability problems because they overbuild (both commercial and residential) and take density to an unnecessarily high level. Density isn’t a good thing, and virtually no one seeks it out as a positive trait in and of itself. The actual benefits of a city - like good restaurants, amenities, events, and so on - can be had at a much lower density than the level at which it makes transit a problem.

To answer your final point, I would ask why cities need to scale further at all? Unchecked growth shouldn’t be a goal. Seattle in the 2000s had a population density of around 3000 per square kilometer, which was plenty enough to sustain a city but not so much that it brings all the negative problems with it. The density is slightly higher than that today but not as high as Barcelona, which is at 16000 per square kilometer.
man why do people even take the gamble of using a blur just use a opaque box
But not analytics that are too good, or certain people will write a lot of inflammatory articles about how your software is nothing but evil spyware.

Seriously, though, having a robust and automatic crash reporting system very much helps track down bugs you're never going to get a good report on or be able to directly reproduce.
This has been my experience.

I'm working on an app that will be released in the next few months (we don't have a definite ship date, yet).

It's based on two servers that I wrote. One, I wrote eleven or twelve years ago, and has become a world standard; but only in the last three years. Since it's a specialized demographic, the numbers are quite small, for "world standard."

The other server is one that I wrote, about four years ago. It took me seven months. It's a very good general-purpose application server. I wrote it for practice, but it's also ideal for the app I'm writing.

I've been working on the frontend app for over a year. It's really, really good. I deliberately took my time, because we went through a lot of "MVP" stuff, during its development.

The rest of the team seems to think it will take the world by storm, when it's released, but I don't think it will.

That's fine with me. I don't mind a slow burn. I've written software that lasts decades.
That's a relevant advice IMO.

However, as a tech guy trying to build stuff too, I need continuous motivation for this. I need to stay in a "flow" state.
And a good fuel to this is to learn new cool things during the journey.

To put it differently, I think you need to find the right balance between fun and efficiency, even if your goal is to earn money in the end.
Trying to always look for the maximum efficiency could be a short term vision that quickly lead to boringness.
Kexts are not deprecated in general-- only kexts that use deprecated KPIs are deprecated. (The page you link is the list of deprecated KPIs.)

The net effect of this: if something can be done using a System Extension rather than a kernel extension, you'll get deprecation warnings if you try to do it with a kernel extension. Kernel extension points that have not been replaced yet are still valid, will still be signed if used, and will still run on current versions of macOS.
To anyone that considers this approach for learning C++, I would advise strongly against it. Standard library code has to deal with too many cases and tries to be optimal for as many of them as possible. Also the formatting is highly unusual, compared to other C++ code found in the wild.
I would certainly not want to be 'invested' into fixing something in the car when you pay for a mechanic.

I'd much rather have the mechanic fix it and move on.

People don't want to deal with things that they don't care learning about, they just want it done

The UN isn't a government; it has no real legal authority (international 'law' is something different), no law enforcement. It has no legitimacy - who elected them?

It's an association of governments, where they get together and organize things. All the power is in the individual governments. There are some grey areas and exceptions, but overwhelmingly the above is the case.

The UN could coordinate cybercrime law and national agencies.
Unfortunately, American elections are rarely about policy. Nor are the actions of our current Congress. And there doesn't seem to be a trend towards substantive and rational discussion about the problems we face and possible solutions.

As long as we are in the grip of individuals and groups who have learned to use social media in order to gain and retain power, what "most Americans want" will be drowned out in a flood of disinformation, manipulation and distraction.
That would be ideal, yeah. But I don’t begrudge them for failing to do so: GitHub-flavored Markdown is a significantly more complicated beast than “common” Markdown, which is itself somewhat fragmented.
> personal side projects, done for the purpose of developing new skills

That sounds like a work focused side project to me. Things I've made that are personal side projects - iot blind controls (because I wanted it), magic mirror (because I wamted it), triathlon result parser (because me and my so wanted to settle some race stats debates), groupable containerised desktop apps (because I wanted it) etc.

None of my personal side projects set out to develop new skills, they set out to make me or a loved one happy. Often they do develop new skills. My partner is currently stripping and repainting an old bike - shes learning loads, but thats not the intent. The intent is to make it match her other gear because that makes her happy.
> the guy protected by a ton of steel is afraid

This is either an example of a perfect propagandist misdirection or the best illustration of the blind spot people on bicycles and powered-bicycles have when it comes to pedestrians.

I was referring to pedestrians having to constantly have 360 degrees situational awareness because of faster traveling bicycles presenting a danger to them, to their babies or toddlers etc. The person who's riding full speed on sidewalks is already signaling the fact that they are a bully. All a parent pushing a stroller or walking their toddler can do is to try to avoid being slammed into at full speed.

As for the person driving a car, the fact is bicyclists rarely consider the momentum of those vehicles when they decide to run a red light and ram through a bunch of pedestrians crossing the street and zip through cross-traffic in through daredevil fashion. 99/100 that works out not because the bicyclist is not a complete nitwit but because everyone else is constantly looking out for them.
Initially java didn't favor getter and setters. They came with java 1.1 and the attempt bean model (and reflection) to catch visual language designers. The core java packages java.lang; java.util; java.io they dont feature getter/setters, either. If you look at the ancient AWT, there were not getter/setters - they were introduced with 1.1 and the bean stuff, most of the existing methods were deprecated.

So in essence it was the original design, some book authors/design concept promoted it... Personally I have not written 'bean alike classes' for years.
Really dodgy reporting.

One trick I discovered myself. When working on the car, your hands get very greasy dirty. It's impossible to wash it all off, it just has to wear off after a couple days.

The trick is to rub your hands with Vaseline Lotion beforehand. Then the car dirt will wash right off.
You have more info about the pilot program?
have to screen hundreds of cases to find the one or two meritorious ones

And even then, legal merit, long after conviction, brought forward by a team of highly motivated activists, against an indifferent (or often enough even sympathetic) legal system does not equate innocence. Peculiarities of the American legal system and political pressures exacerbate this.
The "two problems" is an additional attack surface --- the cellular network tether, which by design and function leaks subscriber-linked information without any compromise necessary, and the VOIP device itself, which continues to be susceptible to its own attacks leaking information, including contacts, call data, messaging data and metadata, email, browser history, and its own location history through both WiFi connections and in all probability, GPS-based location.

On connecting to the tether over WiFi, the advantages over cellular data or Bluetooth is that a WiFi identity (MAC address, SSID) can be arbitrarily changed, and in fact are in consumer-grade hardware (yes, iOS uses a distinct MAC per connected network AFAIU, not positive of Android). This could be modified on every network connection, or even within a single session (requiring periodic reconnects). Other means of specific host identification via TCP/IP and 802.11 protocols are fairly limited.

On increasing workload, much surveillance is done via mass-produced hardware and software, and targets frequently-encountered devices (e.g., stock mobile phones, iOS, and Android systems). Adopting measures and methods other than these ... leaves a signature, but also means that specific new surveillance methods need to be devised for a specific target.

Also: in case anyone mistakes me for an expert on this area, I'm not. I've general familiarity with methods, techniques, protocols, devices, and operating systems.
CJD is almost always a clinical diagnosis. MRIs and lumbar punctures give hints, but aren’t conclusive.

The only way to diagnose conclusively is via a brain biopsy, which apparently isn’t worth the risk in most cases. Conclusive diagnosis is often done post-mortem.

Yes, and it's doubly pointless here, because it isn't doing anything that couldn't be done better by the OS's own package manager. Better, probably, because you will get timely security updates.
I’m based in Germany. Currently building a webservice with lots of different integrations, mostly Python. We basically build the whole thing, choosing our own stack. On my day-to-day I work on developing the platform but also on integration and lots of management to bring multiple parties on the same page.

I’m charging 100 EUR per hour which seems in line with what others with the same amount of expierence are charging. The client I’m currently working for contacted me through a freelancer platform here in Germany.

With me, there are three other devs working on the platform. I was their “first hire”, leading the team. Other team members charge a bit less at around 75 EUR per hour.
Extremely disturbing, and as you mention, especially the nonchalance with which the "ordinary men" describe their revolting atrocities to their own families back home... Browning really did his research well and for anyone with children of their own, the descriptions of killing them are extremely hard to stomach.
My guess is that they carved out that real estate so they can cram more stuff like FaceID in there later, or just have room for camera stuff.

Personally I think it's great, and I'm ecstatic to see the touchbar go. I already have an M1 mini, but I'm going to pick up one of these laptops soon. Well worth the wait.
These are good points. I've been working remotely since the start of the pandemic (the office was closed down, so it was mandatory) and have no interest in going back to the office.

I wake up and instead of mentally preparing myself for a grueling 45-minute stop-and-go drive (no public transportation options), I can decide to go to the gym, run along the ocean, or read a book. Instead of scheduling my departure from work to avoid the dreaded traffic jam, I stop when it's time to stop and it's sooner than it was before.

I have no interest in meeting with my coworkers except once every two weeks so I can dress up and sparkle like a diamond. In part this is due to the fact that my colleagues are uninspiring people, but even if they were great people, over the past year I realized the toll that commuting was taking on me and I do not want to go back to the old times.
I use Gmail but never use the web interface (or log in with it at all for the most part). I just use the built in mail clients for iOS/macOS but any app will do. They can still see your mail but can't do much with it as I use DDG for the most part and am logged into a different account for stuff like YouTube.
I usually prefer working with mature stacks that don't require me to constantly work with flavor of the month frameworks.

It's great to broaden your horizons and all, but that is something that needs to be done judiciously and deliberately if it is to actually be of any use.

Most streaming services offer streams that are less than the quality of CDs since CDs are uncompressed PCM. I don't know what compression streaming services use and most people probably couldn't tell the difference between them and CDs. Though, with CDs, you own the license forever, there's no DRM, and you never have to pay again. You can use the music however you want within fair use.

Newspapers do not enjoy CDA 230 protection. They face actual liabilities and carry liability insurance, a cost. Without CDA 230, these liabilities will not disappear for Big Tech by one case going to the Supreme Court in 6 months. We've seen the opposite with the Supreme Court not hearing at least one letter-to-the-editor libel case for newspapers [1].
