How? Do you send pull requests to thousands of projects to delete their codebase?

Well, no. You can just not use iMessages. Even on an iPhone.
Yes, DisplayPort is the only good standard. Hopefully, HDMI will disappear one day.
Yeah, but they don't get to raise their prices as fast.
I wrote a quick userscript for you:

colorLinks("blue");

function colorLinks(hex)
{
var links = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
for(var i=0;i<links.length;i++)
{
if(links[i].href)
{
links[i].style.color = hex;
links[i].style.textDecoration = "underline";
links[i].style.textDecorationStyle = "solid";
links[i].style.textDecorationColor = hex;
}
}
}

Will make all links blue and underlined.

Alternatively, you can paste it into the JS console, or install it with an extension like greasemonkey.

Hope this helps!
We're still discovering new plant molecules and the effects they have on us all the time. Supplements are never going to be able to completely make up for a diet lacking in real whole plant food & animal meat.

With respect to the question about underdeveloped jaws, that development takes place primarily during your childhood, so if you didn't have optimal nutrition at that stage you won't be able to fix that retroactively.
Does anyone using C++ for a real project actually enjoy 3-second compile times? It wasn't a great example to make their case (except in a narrow comparison to C), but it doesn't make for a very realistic counter-point much either.

Compile times are definitely a headache for me.

But that's precisely what he didn't do, isn't it? He just put something up on his GitHub repositories. All the fuckwits who got bit by that, did so by knowingly and voluntarily downloading that stuff, or by knowingly and voluntarily using other software that did so.

Ultimately the 2017 Equifax data breach was the fault of the people who hacked into Equifax's website.

We need systems in place to defend against people doing malicious things, but yes ideally individual developers shouldn't be the ones tasked with reviewing all of their dependencies' code.

Operating System provided packages, for example, are generally reviewed by someone other than the author, which can lead to a more secure supply chain.

Rust's cargo-crev review system also seems like a possible solution the problem.
Isn't the native app just the Electron code repackaged for native, and not a true ground-up native app at all?

If the code is based on HTML/js/CSS and not Swift/Obj-C/C++ (etc) then you're really creating a web app running in a native microbrowser.

Which is very much not the same thing as writing OS and system calls directly - not least because it will be much slower.
I agree with Waterluvian.

I believe feature parity is less important than the basic HCU of a responsive interface for the most basic features. Some of the most recent features they've added, like the "WYSIWYG"ification of the input box were arguably more disruptive to my use of Slack than any benefit it offered. If a good baseline performance for basic features like chat, image sharing and calls are achieved, then later into the lives of these clients the kinds of features that would lose out on parity ought to be more niche. Things like the presence of huddles (arguably just a different kind of call), bot command interface tooltips, and the ability to draw on shared screen.

Maintenance is a real challenge, but one that delivers the value of good HCU and performance on dev machines; a worthwhile operating cost to provide a product that is harder to unseat. Better performing programs also save memory for the rest of the user's programs like containers and IDEs, which can get pretty resource-hungry.

I think with the recent chip shortage, supply chain issues and potential catastrophes in the future with Taiwan, there's a pinch that will force us to be more resource efficient on a per-machine basis at least for a while. And we may find out that there are miraculous things we can do on the individual machines we have, with what felt like very little processing power, once we're forced to adapt away from overvirtualized, shallow quick-to-market apps.

EDIT: on further consideration, I'm wondering if it's not possible within things like electron, to have some kind of "just in time" style hybrid infrastructure where the most basic features are augmented to run native code quickly for the most heavily used parts on the most common platforms? I don't know enough to say.
Indeed, that's literally what "orient" means. [0] To orient something to the North is an oxymoron.

I think that's what's offensive to the purist engineer mind. These aren't engineering decisions, they're business decisions (or maybe the closest thing you could call them would be "financial engineering" decisions). The best thing, by pure engineering criteria, is not what gets built. The best thing for the business is what gets built. In that context it's a complaint as old as the hills.

...and not specific to computers either, or even the private sector. In a past career I was a civil engineer, and I learned about how traffic light green times (how many seconds a signal stays green for one direction vs. the cross street) usually have a "right answer" from an engineering standpoint, which as you can imagine, has to do with maximizing traffic throughput and/or minimizing delays to each individual vehicle. And then the mayor of the town shows up out of the blue and says no, this direction is going to have a longer wait, I'm going to delay people intentionally, so that when they're stuck in traffic, sitting there, they'll have more of a chance to see signs/placards of, and contemplate patronizing, nearby businesses, whose owners are my political backers. That made a big impression on me... must have, because I feel like I've told that story in an HN comment before... but anyway... yep.

Same, worse my vendor sent me an outdated motherboard that officially didn't support the Zen2 CPU and it randomly wouldn't boot, and then they sent me a patched BIOS so it would boot consistently.

We needed that machine yesterday, and it's seen maybe 2 minutes of downtime in the past couple years, so I couldn't send it back. My fault for not specifying I wanted the .v2 of the barebones when ordering it over the phone I guess..
How a Mechanical Watch Works (interactive 3D)
by 1993, blue was becoming the industry standard for interaction for hypertext.

The operative words here are "industry standard". In other words blue links are merely a convention, like driving on the left.

Many websites don't conform to the 'industry standard', and use colors like red unaccessed links, followed by another 'non-standard' color for an accessed link instead of the purplish color that most websites use.
That's a poor take.

The solution is to do linear interpolation in HSL instead of in RGB. It's a simple and useful insight and the article does a fantastic job explaining and motivating it. And then goes so far as to supply an interactive tool to try it out!
> What were they supposed to learn? "Don't have dependencies"?

Yes.

Or vet them thoroughly.
> > isn't linked to any sort of useful activity

> so you made a judgement on what an activity is useful.

No, I understand how the system works. Bitcoin uses power as a function of the aggregate network capacity — it must to avoid a 51% attack — and that means that the power usage not coupled to the number of transactions being processed: even if Bank of America wasn't already many orders of magnitude cheaper, they wouldn't buy a mainframe they didn't have work for just to stay tied with Wells Fargo. It's the computational equivalent of Luftansa flying all of those thousands of empty flights.

> Therefore, pricing carbon correctly (and thus pricing electricity correctly) is the way to provide all parties the full information on cost, and each would decide how best to use their own money to buy energy.

This would help considerably but it's not enough: we need to radically pivot the global energy system and that will involve things like shifting where major power consumption occurs (e.g. ideally things like blast furnaces or smelters would be located near sources of hydro, geothermal, nuclear, etc. power) and getting everyone to convert to things like EVs en masse.

Unfortunately those decisions take a longer timeframe than shipping a container full of cryptocurrency mining hardware to wherever the current cheapest source of power is. That adds a lot of noise to the pricing signals we need to drive business decisions, especially for major capital expenditures which require years of planning. It doesn't help if, say, Iceland adds 10GW of clean geothermal power but the price stays the same or even goes up because a bunch of miners showed up the week after it went online.

I don't think Thomas has an opinion on the "when". He's just saying it's being used that way. If it's being used that way, then it's still a good signal (in the markets where it is being used in that manner).

If it's actually true that we have crossed the point where it is no longer prudent for companies to segment their customers this way, then there are a whole lot of companies making unsound business decisions, and the problem will solve itself.

A 10G PCIe card is only $100 retail so $150 seems fair for an external version. Newer dongles will include a captive USB4 cable. And consumers use base-T not SFP+.
Cars are just very space inefficient compared to motorcycle, bicycles, or even pedestrians, though.

Saturation comes much faster for cars, so it's more efficient to use rail and other form of transport.

> Micro-targeting != information exposure

Yes it is, lets say you have been exposed to some data which creates a knee jerk reaction, consciously and subconsciously you have now become manipulated. You may even choose to share that data you have been exposed to. You dont know if its real or not because it could be a photoshopped image, some data that influences some of your concerns, like a health concern. The point is, what ever that information is, whatever that data is because data and information are the same thing, this is now manipulating you whether you realise it or not.

Search engines "bombard" you with information you didnt want by presenting some links, you click one and find its not the website or data/information you are expecting or looking for, however the citation in the SE results was enough to tease you into clicking that link where you found it was not what you were looking for. You then go back to the results and click another link. The last link you click also helps train the Search Engine, pushing the last link you clicke don up the list of results next time someone else enters the same search term or one close to it. That is basically how to fine tune a Search Engine results page.

I think people also dont realise or can quantify the effects of their words and actions, but with people suiciding themselves because of social media bullying as one example, and parents in particular not really paying any attention to what their kids do online, I can see their justification to want to regulate it.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/oct/05/facebook-...

Businesses primary Maslow Hierarchy of Needs is money, money is to business what food and shelter is to a human. after that they can get lawyers, accountants and other specialists in and out source anything controversial or questionably legal to keep at a safe distance which is something the law in its current implementation fails to address. If they cant regulate this, then maybe the law needs to be changed so that shareholders and board are held accountable, ie tackling the problem from the other end. Another problem with law is an institution like a business rarely has its culture held accountable, only individuals can be held to account with law, a culture never can but on a countrywide basis, wars usually settle those disputes, but there is nothing to tackle flawed corporate culture, except perhaps some bad press, but that rarely works as we see with Facebook and more and more "experts" coming out against them like we see in the news article above.

You're first point is well made, however I don't have any other choice when I communicate with an Apple user. Everything is so siloed these days. The lack of federated protocols harms us all.

You're second point is irrelavant. Apple is a US company and iOS is the dominant majority mobile platform in the US. I live in the US and I am discussing this as a domestic issue as it relates to me and the laws of my country. We wouldn't be having this discussion if iMessage was just another messaging app alongside the default SMS app.
Coal gas contained significant amounts of molecular hydrogen (~50% or so) and it had been used for decades. What magic did those people know back then?
VR? What if we just tried it out in a Mount and Blade mod.
I've also noticed, and I can't say why this is, that the service or quality hasn't improved. You see the server two or three times. They probably don't write anything down and at least one plate is wrong somehow. A drink is missed. The only time I think I see a server more often is if I get a beer. They love asking me if I want a refill on those.
I'm a big fan of parking on the periphery and no cars at the core.

Essentially ban private vehicles on certain blocks except for service transport and smaller golf-cart sized "NEV"s

There's many older European cities with buildings too close to each other for cars where this is done. You'll also find it on islands where the infrastructure to support a car is lacking such as roads with high speed limits and gas stations

The difference here is to claim that's not just a necessity of circumstances but instead, actually a good idea.
Apple can support iMessage and RCS and SMS at the same time. They have the ability.
> Except Apple is highjacking your phone number

It is not. It creates an account on their platform, with the phone number as an identifier. It does not interfere with SMS routing in any way. This bullshit is already all over the thread, has been corrected countless times, and is plain wrong.
It's not hard to see some unsettling parallels between the idea of the party and the people being one and the "ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer" slogan.
Perhaps that sounds like a good time to use TCP_CORK, or TCP_NODELAY flags.

Or, perhaps you need to tune the TCP-Window to your application.
It's a bigger hassle to the Cessna pilot than going about his business and flight plan, and a smaller hassle than his getting caught in the middle of a jet scramble or other military response perhaps.

Also, it's not necessarily entirely about the pilot's safety/inconvenience tradeoff. The Cessna IS a hassle, for anybody trying to scramble jets or launch an anti-missile interceptor or who-knows-what. The Cessna, on the ground, perhaps with its pilot quietly bitching about his ruined flight plan, is a smaller hassle.
10GbaseT power requirements are dropping every year as the MACs get more efficient. Its also of course dependent on cable length. Besides saving power it has also enabled 10GbaseT SFP+'s in recent years.

So, there probably isn't a good reason for not putting it in a laptop. Like wifi, just speed shift it based on load, etc. AKA see 802.3az

So, the old max power draw models from 15 years ago, don't really apply entirely.
If you only had candles, and you had to make them yourself from pig fat, then things may be different.
>I'm not suggesting another competing platform. I'm suggesting an already-widely-deployed platform (RCS) that is standardized, has been around since 2008 or so (older than iMessage!), and is the actual real elevation of SMS, not an Apple-proprietary protocol.

The RCS Universal Profile is the first standardized version by the GSMA and came out in late 2016.

Google's RCS usage has primarily been via Google's own hosted implementations because of poor carrier adoption. Verizon AFAIK is planning to have RCS deployed this year.

Also AFAICT the e2e extension is not a standard but is Google-specific and currently exclusive to their Messages app. It also has several inferior technological, privacy, and UX impacts to other systems (such as only working for 1-to-1 chat, or requiring out-of-band verification code comparisons to guarantee the encryption isn't compromised).

It also is not a protocol evolution of SMS - its similarity is mostly that it like SMS was standardized through the GSMA. I also do not believe that the GSMA mandates its usage "instead of" SMS - it is meant to sit alongside SMS.

> That's a huge pain in the ass. Not all of my friends have Signal, and I'm tired of evangelizing. Not all of my friends have WhatsApp, and I'm not interested in evangelizing a Facebook property.

There's zero chance that RCS will replace Signal or WhatsApp or Telegram. It also won't replace SMS, at least this decade. It's just going to be Yet Another Option.

Or money, for that matter. If beliefs are network effects, then money sits at the base layer of that network.

So not only does Bitcoin (the "crypto" protocol most resistant to centralization) occupy an unusual position in the universe of software networks, but it it's deep, deep down in the base layer of shared beliefs due to the monetary aspect.
How exactly is Apple supposed to know that you have switched phones? Any way I can think of requires privacy intrusions that make me shudder.

However, they do have UI on all of their iMessage programs, and on the website that you can get to from any web browser (on any brand of device) for your AppleID/iCloud account that can remove your phone number from your AppleID at any time. Then, after some minor propagation time, messages from Apple users to your phone number will no longer be routed to your iMessages account, and will instead be sent as SMSs.

So you have an option to tell Apple at any moment, even after you have switched, that you no longer want that number attached to iMessages. How exactly is that hijacking?
Wow! I remember working for a company having to deal with your 2022 scenario way back in 1997! Only back then we didn't have npm, react, or any other of a dozen Javascript frameworks I've forgotten the name of.

Oh, and we did it without Visual Studio as well. Kids today.
n+1 problem is a choice, and programmer fault, not unique to any of that.

That’s disingenuous. It took you so long to realise they were doing it.
I totally agree that culture is a big factor. I just think the conversation in the US around healthcare is kind of limited to pro or anti “Medicare for all” when there are actually many ways of doing things which do not require a single payer. Japan is just one example, Germany is another.

Obviously we shouldn’t just exactly copy the system of other countries, but it’s equally shortsighted to not learn take away anything from other existing systems. The possibility for universal coverage and higher cost efficiency without the need for single payer I think is a valid thing to take away from those examples.
I think you should talk to your local bartender to get some perspective about how good software engineers have it. It’s hard work but I feel truly fortunate. Perspective is a hell of a thing.
In my experience bears also come around at that time too.
Yeah... Is it really a 2-point gradient if it contains 5 different colors? The grey bugs me, but surely turning a gradient into a rainbow is not a solution. More like, an alternative.
Blue plus yellow makes green…

What you’re describing would result in a yellow to blue gradient having green in the middle - at least that’s what would be interpreted by the human eye.
I use a Pixel 6 and Ipad Pro (11) daily. It would be nice if they got along more.
