> Well I guess my own experiences with Apple reviews must be fictional garbage too then!

This has fallen off the front page, so I’m asking out of real curiosity:

1. Have you genuinely had an app rejection that states that the reviewer typed “milf” (or something equivalently unlikely) into a search bar - and that is given as the reason for the rejection? ie: how else does the OP know this is the actual reason?

2. Do you genuinely believe Apple employees have yelled at the OP during an app dispute?

I absolutely think it’s just made-up lying fantasies. But I’m willing to reverse that if anyone supplies some contrary proof.
GDPR compliance will be tricky. How does one delete data?
yeah agreed. The disco areas they had in 2019, the sound was so super crisp. I wish I could reproduce the high fidelity clicking they played in some tracks
This one for me as well. I found myself having to pause and contemplate some of the ideas in that one several times. It's fascinating to hear Joscha describe how he models everything around us. Definitely worth a (patient, attentive) listen.
This is why I love showing tourists around my home city. They notice so many special things that have long since faded into the background for me.

For example I was taking four Japanese grad students to a local park famous for its hikes and waterfalls. But the thing that made them jump up and start pointing and taking pictures was when a yellow school bus drove by. Look, look! It's Snoopy! It's a real yellow bus, just like in Snoopy!"
I don't know zig. Is one a constant initializer while the other is not?
Being ignorant of most religious things is socially not that big of a problem in my experience, you eventually miss some references in pop culture though.
We don't have probiotics but you can buy the lactase enzyme in pills and take it with lactose containing foods and avoid symptoms (as long as you dose right and eat quickly). My wife who is very lactose intolerant can still enjoy ice cream and queso.

I do have a friend who had a severe gastrointestinal issue and basically went through having his bacteria "reset" for a lack of a better term. It was pretty terrible and he was unable to eat most things before and during, but now is back to a pretty normal diet with some modifications. He was on very aggressive antibiotics followed by months long probiotic treatments.
I am talking about world brands, 5m+ units a month
Yeah, that might be a better description. Atheist and agnostic are both somewhat loose terms with a lot of overlap.

One would wish that for budget-exponentially-overrun taxpayer-funded infrastructure, there would be open-source decoding information available.
I assumed physical therapists, but did not validate.
If you are using a smart phone, have a Google or Facebook account, an email account, spend electronic money, or take photos then you already ARE logging your life. I am constantly amazed (and occasionally grateful) that there is such a comprehensive log of everything I do from credit card expenses and receipts, to Google/Apple map history, to EXIF photo (location) data, to social network interactions, to email and texting information. I compile much of that information into a MySQL database to get a better timeline of my history.
Sorry if this is a bit off-topic but for me the website is overwhelming. Everything is very large and animated which makes me dizzy. I don't know what is happening when I scroll.
To me Zig doesn't seems like a zombie.

* It is actively developed, has frequent releases and it is steered toward a stable 1.0

* The crowd funding model proves that some users want that language.

* It doesn't try to revolutionize coding, it tries to be a better C, hence the wowlessness

Nim¹ and Crystal² have probably more chances of eventually becoming dead languages but I hope they don't as they are both fun languages.

I converted to the Baha'i Faith from Christianity about 15 years ago, after investigating Islam and Buddhism. Very happy to see this topic trending on HN. Our daily practice consists of reading the Holy writings every morning and evening, daily prayer and meditation, and service. There's a prayer from our tradition that says may "this American democracy become glorious in spiritual degrees even as it has aspired to material degrees ... ." I cherish this hope for this nation and all humanity.
Huh, I'd given up on disabling JS because reddit required it to reply to posts, and I'd assumed HN does too. Turns out HN doesn't. Thanks for providing the impetus to check (I'd expected to say something like "well the site doesn't work without JS, so I guess they didn't stick around" but wanted to check first), I deleted my reddit account a while ago and it turns out that was the only thing keeping me tied to JS.

I really am not a fan of JS for all of the reasons that have been retread a million times over the years, but honestly the war is long lost and I don't really see the need to annoy people about it anymore.
Forgive me if this sounds arrogant, but I think the general HN user is capable of handling the relatively simple UI based download and flash required to use OpenWRT. Likewise, using a raspberry pi is probably trivial for most developers. If not, I'm being under paid.

Well you just gave me a nice weekend activity to get a split prism screen installed in my DSLR! I like to use vintage manual lenses and miss the ease of focusing I had when I used my old (film) Canon A-1. I've looked at DSLR focusing screens in the past but they were expensive and custom made, didn't know they were mass produced now.
No, it’s because it’s stupid difficult to replicate the native functionality exactly, retain accessibility traits, and if you get it perfect, then you have to deal with the fact that different browsers and devices interpret these controls totally differently.
And this is why we need technical tests during interviews. There are people who call themselves "web developers", apparently been writing websites for 5+ years, but don't know about addEventListener.
When Apple's servers go down you lose the ability to do low-level recovery on these machines anyway, since DFU flashing requires phoning home to get a ticket for your machine as well as low-level configuration data, so you have bigger problems to worry about than losing your WiFi firmware (especially since you should always have the WiFi firmware locally available if your machine is in a situation where it doesn't need DFU recovery; just hold down the power button to go into regular recovery, pull up a terminal, and copy /usr/share/firmware/wifi).

Thankfully, that hasn't happened for any platforms and you can still download the OS for and perform authorization for all Apple devices going back to the iPhone 2G (3GS for auth, since it's the first one with that requirement), so I'm not too worried.

Here's the latest firmware available for the original iPhone:

http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.c...

And you can download not just the latest version, but all prior versions, for every device, ever released. https://ipsw.me/ has all the links.

Of course, this is merely a practical argument; Apple have shown that they will continue to support all their old devices as far as this process is concerned, but this cannot be proven. If you're the kind of person who worries about any and all external dependencies and doesn't want to trust the vendor for anything, then I would advise you to not buy one of these machines; they are not for you. These machines value a rather sophisticated security paradigm (that has real benefits for users, especially the average user) over not having vendor dependencies; that is a trade-off that you need to be aware of.

I expect if Apple ever decide to retire the signing server for older platforms, they'll just publish a signed global ticket for them to remove the phone home dependency. It would be stupid not to do that. And plenty of people have OS images lying around. Just download one and keep it safe if you're worried about that. Though you'd still be screwed if you lose your Flash contents including platform config data, but nothing Apple does can save you from that; at that point you'd better have a backup yourself, since you wouldn't be able to rely on Apple's service to fetch their copy.

(Please don't reply with a tirade about freedom and evil vendors and boiling frogs; I'm really, really tired of those, and the people who write them invariably refuse to listen to any explanation about the security rationale behind why things are this way, and I've given up trying to explain it to them. Please just go buy a Pinebook instead.)
Lack of technical solutions isn't the only issue. System controls (well most of them - recent Windows and macOS seem to be regressing) have decades of refinement and battle-testing behind them and users are familiar with them. You're not replicating all of this alone regardless of how much money or years of experience you have.
Yes you are right. There are materialists coming out of the Vedas.

But what you have just stated here is that you are not an atheist at all. In fact quite the opposite. You are that.
Linux on modern, post 2018 Chromebooks with all drivers working
I understand that this is the vision used to sell tokens but that's why I asked what reason we have to think that Ubisoft will start doing something which they could already do any time they want without sharing revenue. Their terms of service are what they are because that's how they want them to be, and there's nothing forcing them to use NFTs at all much less implement them with far more generous terms of service.
Shakti Chalana Kriya has been a life changer for me.
It looks like the repo [0] hasn't been touched in a couple of years so it's tough to say what if anything would need to change, but this application sounds like it would benefit from a Pi 4.

Magic Lantern is a firmware mod for Canon cameras and it gives you more features and control over your hardware. I love this kind of low level mods.

You've clearly never had a good goat cheese and thyme ice cream!

I kid but lactose intolerance does really hurt a lot of the food selection people are used to. Sure you can live off soylent or whatever but most people enjoy a wide variety of food including dairy.
Ask HN: Sales Team Growth
Our two person company is struggling to grow our sales force and have been considering outsourcing a sales team to help free up time and have budgeted $5000/mo towards starting this project. We have heard horror stories about call centers and aren’t sure where to look for a smarter solution. Thanks!
Runtime checks for signed overflow can be enabled with -ftrapv in GCC and clang. Having this option open is why some people prefer to use signed integers over unsigned.

I'm not usually a Joe Rogan listener, but I keep thinking about the interview he did with Carl Hart: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4xMbq7gLEjFioOQ5gpSw2l

Hart claims that the inherent addictiveness of even the most addictive drugs (he talks mostly about heroin) is exaggerated, because most of the worst addicts are dealing with psychological, social, and financial difficulties in addition to drug addiction, and drugs are often unfairly blamed for all their problems. I don't necessarily agree with everything he says, but he has a very interesting perspective.
You clone the database and remove/update the corresponding lines. GDPR does not mean, you have to fix it right away, imho.
Ask HN: Do I have to drop down to game frameworks to make my games moddable?
I would like to make a game with modding in mind. I thought about using Godot however after some research it seems to be very hard to add mod support in this engine. (I would gladly like to be proven wrong here)

I do not consider using either Unity or Unreal because I don't want to pay for them or their royality fees.

Is the only option left to use game frameworks instead of game engines? Which one do you recommend considering the fact that I want to make a commercial game which will hopefully also end up on consoles. I have experience in C, JavaScript, Java and Python also I don't mind learning new programming languages if it's worth it. The game I have in mind is in 2D and is similar to Stardew Valley.

I would like to focus primarly on the PC version. Maybe it would be best to do the game in whatever tech and pay a porting house for the console version if the game is really that successful on PC. Do you know any cons of going this way?
The corollary: reasonable people avoid GPL code at all costs.
Would they release a firmware update with new keys though? If they can’t fix the vulnerability, the new keys would get dumped just like the old ones.
Used Ruckus AP/router from eBay. Ridiculous reliability and performance for a home setup. Downsides are missing the absolute latest tech, it being EOL gear, and no warranty if it somehow dies.
An LH2 tank hardly weighs anything. They even put them in rockets.

But they take up more room than would fit in the wings. They probably would need to be in nacelles slung under the wings like the engines.
Yes, those are all relevant costs. There's also a tradeoff between accuracy and the number of reads (how many sequences you can observe), or how much data you can get out of the machine.
Coca Cola is everywhere just look around. It's cool, it's fresh, it's young, it's energetic, it's tolerant, it's on your way to the cash register. The various drinks from the Coca Cola and Pepsi hydras easily and uselessly occupy maybe 10-20% of shelves of any grocery store?
I knew if I scrolled enough I'd find a fellow pope!
Ah it was steal a car, what a pity :D
Now that is a recommendation that I was not expecting, and which makes perfect sense in hindsight! Cheers! I shall order his book immediately.
You can always use !g for better accuracy :)
I care! As in the article - I really appreciate the benefits of JS when it's used in useful, tactful ways. But re-implementing a LINK, or a TEXTBOX, or a SCROLLBAR? That's super-duper irritating, and a horrible UX. I hate it. And I hate loading 1GB of JS just so websites can monitor what I'm doing and serve me targeted ads. It really sucks.
The environmental cost of getting more people sick with covid is also high.
The point was you said it was intended to poke fun at traditional chivalry like it was a fact. But it was just your speculation.

We define chivalrous differently apparently. And I never heard of someone trying to flatter a 21 year old man by wishing him a happy 60th birthday.

What they said and what kind of person they are are 2 different discussions.[1]

Well meaning people accept constructive criticism. I know people who would like what you wrote better. I know people who would think telling them you're sure they didn't mean something was insincere and condescending. The 1st reply that mentioned the attempted joke just said please don't make sexist comments.[2] It was appropriate for an aside on a technical mailing list. The joker could have replied off list if they didn't understand. They doubled down instead like you said.

Someone else called it cancel culture and called other people hypocrites. Someone else compared it to witch burning. Someone else implied assuming good intentions meant ignoring anything unintentionally objectionable. The reaction to that was someone proposed a different standard. The reaction to that was trolling.

A Course in Miracles. The Disappearance of the Universe by Gary Renard was my gateway.
Of course, I’m not at all advocating that the solution is to just do it but that web really hasn’t kept up with the needs of the kinda of apps people want to build with it. It’s easy to build something that works but annoying to impossible to build something robust so we’re left with every single website being functional enough to work but broken.

I don’t think telling developers “just do it right” is a scalable solution, the platform has to make the least effort path the one that works best.
Conceptually, not at all: you simply create a copy of whatever data structure you are keeping in memory to bind names to values. (Notice that you are probably already using something like this to correctly resolve scopes -- so it's not like it's more work, either).

In practice, I guess it depends on how much you care about performance and how 'smart' the functional runtime is. But if you're not writing a toy interpreter, you probably also need bytecode compilation, etc.
(I was on xmas vacay so missed the initial post)

Wow what a nice random surprise - Thanks OP for the call out!

Go already makes installing go apps extremely easy, ie:

go install package-url

What Bingo tries to do is make _managing_ that installed binary just as easy.

Once installed, you can then manage the installation by the binary's name.

An example I personally use:

$ bingo install github.com/gohugoio/hugo
# ... two versions later
$ bingo update hugo

I'm happy to try to answer any questions - else I'll be perusing the comments looking for places to chime in.

Thanks again,

Analysis of Microplastics in Human Feces Reveals Correlation with Disease
With roblox behind it, I'd indeed consider it for my game. I'm guessing no support for LuaJIT, though?
erlang is not fundamentally immutable. It's just "locally immutable". You can't mutate a variable. A function call can have side effects, just it can't change its arguments -- but if it's argument is, abstractly speaking, a reference [0], it can effect a change on the abstract contents of the reference. Using this mechanism there are TONS of escape hatches using function-called "abstract references".

[0] maybe the reference refers to a file, network socket, a url over the internet, which work in the obvious way. It could also be things that erlang gives you for free: the id to another process (thread) to which you send an instruction, "change your internal data", a "process dictionary" (think: thread-local-storage ish), "ets tables" (think: a redis/memecached you get for free"). If you want to go deeper, it could even be "a wrapped, refcounted, C pointer to raw memory", there are ways to do this safely that the native interface gives the curious low-level programmer.
Macros are extremely hard to grok and and so many use such short variable names that it looks like absolute gibberish.

They also look so different than normal Rust code. Python metaprogramming still looks exactly like Python, for example.
Yeah; this is what I meant by “banging on things with a wrench between benchmarks”. I can’t fight the feeling that there is some background knowledge that makes the search more directed.
Updating FreshTomato has never cleared out my settings, is it possible your install is broken?

Manual updates don't bother me, personally, but wifi throughput is definitely a pain point (my understanding is the lower speeds are due to FreshTomato doing more with the CPU than stock firmware does, which decreases the amount of CPU time that actual routing gets).
I'm intrigued, but this episode is from April 2019.
Gnostic means you know, agnostic means you don't. Theist means you believe, atheist means you don't. A gnostic atheist "knows" there's no god and an agnostic theist thinks there's a god. In this case, GP is an agnostic atheist.
Are the stars orbiting the Milky way all orbiting at very different speeds then? If not, I would think the stellar environment of any star would remain relatively constant over time.
Hang in there bud
I loved Lex Friedman and Brandon Eich this year.

I was astonished by the intellect and wisdom of Eich. I always understood him to be rather smart inventing JS in a matter of days, but his insight in the history of the web paint an even more impressive picture.

He's been much more influential to our lives than many might guess and it's shocking to hear it from himself and his authority.
HTML mail is a mess that's impossible to get right; better to avoid it. Misleading users with a rich-text editor that looks like a word processor is bad because it'll pretty much never look as intended in anything but the same HTML editor that created it originally.
To be fair, she's been a political activist partially focused on internet/tech for quite a while (her husband was part of Wikileaks, then founded OpenLeaks). I don't know whether she's a member, but she's very socially progressive and economically very far left, so her values are strongly aligned with the CCC. I don't think it's just a gift for her to speak at a CCC event, it's essentially one of them speaking about the things they like to hear.
Or just https://vcvrack.com/ ? I don't understand the impulse on HN to make everything as technical as possible.
I have been using Netgear WNDR3700 and similar routers for years with no problems and no cloud account. I keep one as a spare for family in case someone's gets knocked out by a power surge, or the power supply dies, or whatever. Had that happen several times. I've never had one be "flaky": they either work or don't.

I buy them at Goodwill for $5-10 whenever I see them there, which is fairly often.

They have two main features I like:

- separate main and guest networks. I put all my non-computer stuff like phone, TV, Roku, Tivo, etc on the guest network. There is a setting to isloate the guest network from the main network on separate vlans.

- they have a QOS setting for uploads (I only have 1Mbit up), so when I do online backups with HashBackup (I'm the author), the router will use the full upload bandwidth if there are no other connections uploading, but if there are other connections needing to upload, the router splits the capacity between the active connections. Without QOS, it was impossible to have an interactive ssh session during a bulk upload. With QOS it works fine.

You can buy these on eBay for $15-25. Get one with free shipping so that if you have trouble and have to return it (unlikely with a high feedback seller), you don't have to pay for shipping.
Neophilia? Otherwise, none.
Annoying when pasting formatted text. Annoying when you try to delete a newline but it deletes an inline image. Sometimes tricky to add unformatted text after a formatted section (the editor assumes I want to continue the formatted section).

Inline images and hyperlinks are neat though.
