This is what you wrote that I was responding to: "cards on the table: none of these apps should be allowed on the app store."

I'm hoping you've simply not really thought this through. We can't demand that parents be held accountable for what their children do while also forbidding parents from knowing what their children are reading, watching, writing, hearing, or saying.
This is an interesting issue because it's something I thought would happen at some point, but I just don't see how and why it would be applied to California.

Grid-tied solar has an issue because they feed energy to the grid when the sun is shining which for a lot of northern states/Canada, does not make sense because it is unrelated to when there is actually peak demand (the evenings).

In California though, a lot of energy goes to AC, and AC is most needed when the sun is shining bright so I don't understand why it would be an issue?
Usernames work. You could even use UUIDs these days as QR is an increasingly common way of sharing data. But yeah, usernames would be a great improvement.
You're missing the point. The point is that even the most mundane decisions can lead to irrevocable negative situations, so one should think about worst case scenarios with every decision, as engineers are regularly trained to. Classifying things as type 1 or type 2 decisions can create a blind spot, as it did in this situation in my humble opinion. In reality anything can become a one-way-door decision.

The "dunk" is a side effect. Amazon's decision making on this issue does a really good job of illustrating situations where you make a seemingly harmless decision that you feel you could revoke at any time, but things take a turn for the worse and regardless of your ability to revoke the decision, you can't revoke the damage it caused, the preventing of which is the whole purpose of having this system of type 1 vs type 2 in the first place. AKA the type 1 type 2 system is imperfect and can lead to miscalculations, like this. A more useful framework might be "can I prove, convincingly, that there is a 0% chance this decision will lead to irrevocable significant negative consequences, if so then it is type 2, otherwise type 1"

While I agree that there's much of the UHHB that is still valid (and what's not valid is still funny), I don't think that's a good example. Modern kill allows you to provide the signal name if you wish. I don't think it's a particularly good criticism of kill that it also allows you to use a numeric shorthand if you wish (even if that shorthand is very popular).

I think the UUHB is mostly worth reading to understand the absolutely dismal state of proprietary Unix in the 90s. It explains why technical reasons contributed to the growth of both Windows NT and GNU.
Every job comes with it's drawbacks. It's perfectly fair that they should not be able to profit off of their decisions that are supposed to be made for the people they represent.

You know the money is influencing their politics. That much should be taken away as much as possible.

What's not fair is that the rest of us don't get the same information as them, and can't profit the same way they do.

The French tanks were superior in armament, armour, numbers, and placement.

The German tanks had radios.

On-the-ground realtime initiative, adaptation to circumstances, and exploitation of opportunity beat checklist-superiority.

See Col. John Boyd's F-16 advantage in transitioning between flight modes as a similar case of non-obvious advantage against an enemy aircraft which was individually faster, could turn tighter, and fligh higher. The F-16 was worse at any of those, but could switch between flight modes more quickly, and won on agility. (Or so the story I was told studying military science back in the day.)
What? You said: "F9 is a little smaller, everything other than Delta IV Heavy is a little smaller". How is everything other than Delta IV Heavy "a little smaller" than Ariane 5 when F9H is very much not smaller than Ariane 5?

Let's face it: Apple has raised the bar on what a laptop should be (like they do every few years). Only the most neckbearded of FOSS developers are going to lay out that kind of scratch for a laptop whose design basically hails from three years ago; the rest of us will appreciate the hardware and software advantages the Apple ecosystem gives us.

> I'm adding "reliable" into that mix. Too bad they're too expensive and hard to setup for side projects

I mean they're not particularly. Unless the use is extremely minimal, it'll always be cheaper to buy a small server even for a side project.

I use cloud VMs for projects that can live on $5/mo VMs because at that usage rate I'll never break even to buy a machine.

But as soon as your AWS bill is even like $50/mo, worth to start looking at alternatives.

From the blog on the Fast Grants program they did earlier- "57% of respondents told us that they spend more than one quarter of their time on grant applications."

Also, "According to the NIH, a grant application will typically result in a decision after something between 200 and 600 days."

The whole post is worth reading in light of this new announcement. https://future.a16z.com/what-we-learned-doing-fast-grants/
Bezos willingly gave his personal Watsapp number to a Prince, just to "be in touch", and got hacked as a direct result.

The Saudi's wanted leverage, gotten via Bezo's affair, but the US cannot let (national security) leverage escape our borders - and leaked his affair.

Shit is just lulz to me.
Its not unclear. Sometimes difficult to enforce but borders are easy to define:

"In 1984, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in the case of Dirks v. Securities and Exchange Commission[25] that tippees (receivers of second-hand information) are liable if they had reason to believe that the tipper had breached a fiduciary duty in disclosing confidential information. "

No, I can look at and trace the proofs in any mathematical publication. I can look at and trace any open source code. If something works, I should be able to test it. And it's your flaw to assume people will play along with the onus.

This is just disgusting.
My distro journey started with Red Hat 5.2, Mandrake, Mandriva, Ubuntu, Debian, and settled on Arch. It's by far the most stable system I've used. I managed to bork a Debian stable's dpkg two months ago, I've absolutely never been able to make pacman break.
I'm fairly certain it is. The way to think about it, do you have knowledge which isn't in the public domain which would give you an unfair trading advantage.

Here's some examples:

- In a closed door US senate committee, they are planning to stop all government vehicles from using fossil fuels. Stock of oil companies will mostly move.

- In a closed door US senate committee, they have decided to buy $50B of a vaccine from pharma provider FOO. Stock of FOO will likely move.
But people's purchasing power includes assets. If someone has $10k in cash in the bank, and $1M in stocks, then they will feel like they have $1M when deciding whether to spend $1k, despite having nowhere near that amount of cash.

Furthermore, asset valuation is not proportional to the amount of total dollars. For example a small amount of money going into an illiquid market (eg real estate) will drive up valuations across the board, making asset owners feel much richer in total than merely the incoming dollars. On the flip side, asset owners who are not in a position to liquidate their asset (eg personal homeowners) might not feel any richer at all.
I think the problem is San Franciscans are out of touch with reality. The root problem is not the GOP brand; despite the flaws in the GOP brand that is not the bottom line.

That's interesting, such confounding is an example for how difficult such research is. It's also two articles hammering on a single piece of data and making conclusions using Occam's razor. The comments on the second article don't help either.

Most importantly it's not just death I'm worried about, it's also not getting hospitalised (or worse, staying in coma for days on the IC). Not only for the individual, but also for society. At least here in the Netherlands, that was spot on the point we had to go back to lockdown like measures. There's a lot of numbers that suggest vaccins do wonders for that, for all ages (a bit less for elderly actually). An obvious one is the much bigger amount of daily infections we could now support with less beds compared to before vaccinations. These numbers are dropping, possibly because vaccinations being longer ago. Hopefully boosters will mitigated this.
Depends whether the spyware ends up with you being cut to pieces with a hacksaw while a Saudi prince watches over a teleconference link, I guess.

thank you, but this worldview has little connection to reality. people date at work all the time. people date at work at Walmart all the time. if you want to date someone and either of you is in a position of power over the other, they move one of you to a different department. at another Walmart I worked at years ago, a CSM (cashier manager basically) wanted to date the general manager, so she had to quit, because there was no way to make that work while remaining ethical.

where does this idea you have that when you clock in for the day, you somehow shed your humanity and become a personality-less labor-husk, for the duration of the day, until clock-out time, come from? I have made tons of friends at work, both from doing work with them and shooting the shit in-between. this is how my wife-to-be and I met, by doing work together, chatting all the while, and realizing we shared a lot of values and that we should probably be dating. I have never been in a work environment where something like this was explicitly nor implicitly forbidden, because that would be an insane job for crazy people. your perspective is entirely foreign to me, and, judging by my above post's score, many other people as well.
Not sure if the OP is the author, or if the author will read this, but I ate the shed, and at first found it delightful, but then got an annoying bit stuck in my teeth.

The Guide first says "The results of the spell are supposed to be independent." And I took that at face value, since I figured this is an educational page rather than a page of brain teasers and trick questions. But then when it asks "in my last 100 casts of the spell, I got the gross potion all 100 times, what do you think the next cast would yield?", I guess I was supposed to have remembered that the original statement said "supposed to be independent", and figure out the lesson was that this indicates a problem with the spell not being independent as opposed to stressing that regardless of results, independent means independent. I feel annoyed rather than enlightened.

I think we're getting closer to a time where smaller players can start competing in the search engine space.

Recently here on HN someone launched a search editor for small, niche, seo-free, old, content/text-heavy websites. It's useful because it serves a specific purpose, and can give you very different but useful results due to how it presents its results.

Storage is getting cheap, scaling is a solved-ish problem, ML and AI make simple to empjoy intelligent search easier than ever.

Of course, the solution is not to come up with a slightly tweaked google clone (like bing, duckduckgo, ...) but something that's more in the realm of reimagining what search means and does. I don't think it's wise to fight Google at its own game.

I often see people recommend Go for CLI apps but I'm not sure why. The built-in `flag` package is really limiting. These days I mostly use Rust with `clap` which is the nicest flag-parsing experience I've found so far in any language.
I always like to mention ZeroPage Homebrew too. It's a Twitch channel that usually streams twice a week that features homebrew games for the 2600 and recently branched out to other Atari consoles and 8-bit systems. The devs for the games are usually in the chat. It's my absolute favorite community on the internet today.
Warning: don't do this if you use rust-analyzer or any other IDE that uses cargo check.

The flags are part of the cache hash, so your IDE and cli constantly invalidate the cache and compile from scratch.

> Recently, however, it has been documented that NSO is offering their clients zero-click exploitation technology, where even very technically savvy targets who might not click a phishing link are completely unaware they are being targeted. In the zero-click scenario no user interaction is required. Meaning, the attacker doesn't need to send phishing messages; the exploit just works silently in the background. Short of not using a device, there is no way to prevent exploitation by a zero-click exploit; it's a weapon against which there is no defense.

`ls | sort --time` is very close to `ls | sort LastWriteTime` which is how you would do it in PowerShell.

In PowerShell `ls` is only used for retrieving the filesystem objects (files and directories). It does not have options for sorting or formatting[1]

Sorting is generally handled by `sort` (alias for the Sort-Object cmdlet).

Formatting is generally handled by one of the format commands, like format-table (alias `ft`) or format-list (alias `fl`) or by converting into another format like e.g. json or xml through `convertto-json`.

I.e. if I want to display the full path of every file sorted by descending by last access, I would write:

ls | sort -d LastAccessTime | select fullname

[1] except for the `-name` switch which is more of an optimization which only retrieves the local name as string objects.
The key part:

"Note, all these extra linkers (lld, mold) will not really work properly,
gcc during configuration detects various assembler and linker properties

Jacobson v. Massachusetts. States have a constitutional right to enforce vaccines for public health reasons.

The current supreme court would uphold that decision. https://www.scotusblog.com/2021/10/court-turns-away-religiou...

more generally, the police powers of a state exceed that of individual liberty in emergency situations. otherwise, the state loses its ability to handle existential crises.
NSO have been trying to argue that they're shielded from responsibility for their actions by being a de facto extension of the state that they've sold to and therefore enjoy sovereign immunity.

The collapse of that argument in the Facebook case is why Apple are now suing as well.
Hm. Gentoo does have a developer's manual[1] which describes in detail how one would be able to package new applications or patch things in the main repository.

Working with Gentoo as a user does require having an understanding of the knobs that portage (the package manager) presents, and this has a certain learning curve. But that learning curve is IMHO worth it for the flexibility that portage brings to the table. Without that flexibility it would be very hard to manage replacing at user's will something as major in the system as the init system, or the whole audio stack or libssl provider.

It's a public health issue. Border officials screen for TB for example. Many hiring policies demand a drug test. Company policy can be pretty much whatever it wants to be. Because, you see, you aren't forced to work there.
You can read into it however you want. It wasn't my intention.
I'm pinning my hopes that certain types can be marked as "shared resources", either in-lang, or through a minimalistic helper tool - and analyzed at a lower level (ZIR or AIR) for lifetime analysis.
HN Discuss: Why so few Hi-Tech companies address real issues?
So many companies, so much venture capital, and still so few actually try to disrupt the real problems that real people have:

1. Housing. It's a global problem, there has got to be a solution...

2. Health. There are first world health issues, and third world health issues. None of them is currently addressed in an effective way

3. Inequality. The gaps in income and opportunity are just unacceptable.

4. Unkindness. There is just too much crime, lying, and being assholes to each others.

5. Bullshit jobs. We spend way too much time doing nothing of real value.
I'd say they are all very smart. Wisdom is orthogonal to that.
Unfortunately Google shelved it but they had a very similar project called Game Builder for Windows

Here is the original introduction video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9Mf_XEZq-A

And a tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1hpFRztQGY

Got open sourced so you can still download it https://github.com/googlearchive/gamebuilder

Works perfectly under Linux with Wine or Proton.

The last full Steam release is also included if you don't want to compile it (7z.001-7z.002-7z.003) https://github.com/googlearchive/gamebuilder/tree/master/bui...

Microsoft bought Github and improved it. In addition to Visual Studio and C#, Microsoft developed VSCode and TypeScript. Microsoft pours a lot of love into Azure, WSL, and PowerShell. We know where they're going with things.

Google considers us a stretch goal and will deprioritize and defund if developer revenue metrics aren't reached. Google developed Go (mixed feelings) and Dart (meh). GCP was once considered expendable. At the heart of it, they're still an ads company.

Microsoft gets it. Google doesn't.

How long does that last? Telegram uses a few hundred million dollars each year, although they are significantly larger.

> As Telegram approaches 500 million active users, many of you are asking the question – who is going to pay to support this growth? After all, more users mean more expenses for traffic and servers. A project of our size needs at least a few hundred million dollars per year to keep going.

Don't leave your job, but don't sign. Tell them why you're not signing - because it's ridiculously overbroad. If they fire you, you have a legal case. (Maybe - IANAL. The point is, if you quit, you have no legal case.)

Another approach you could take, though - it's limited to stuff that relates to what the company does. OK, think through your prior ideas. With that limitation, are there any ideas that you care about that they could take? If not, then it's still a crummy move on their part, but it doesn't actually affect you.

Right but that just means it's LLVM being clever, not rustc.

The main compiler is the self-hosting gc go compiler. Iirc ~~it's the reference implementation~~ erm I guess it's determined by spec, not reference implemenation. Gc is definitely "the default" though.

Then There's the gofrontend, which is a compiler frontend to other compilers, which can work with gcc and llvm. I am not aware of the state of the art for these, but I wonder if there are performance differences.
The generals wanted to keep their wars going and they wanted to maintain foreign presence or increase them. They wanted to have a say in just about every conflict that goes on. Trump wanted to get out of that business.

He also thought it was time to reform NATO. He also thought he could appease them by increasing their budget and creating a space force. Never the less, they kept sniping and undermining him.

Congress of course, despite lack of evidence continually wanted to impeach him over collusion with Russia and so on.

Do yeah I think the establishment hated him just as much because he didn’t go along with their historical agenda.

I agree with this 100%. It should not be possible on any platform. Key word there being surreptitious.
