Apple ID w/ pseudonymous relay and maybe phone number verification and Apple Pay is a tolerable sign up process for me

My food was even delivered by a robot that texted me

Granted, I had called the restaurant first because I didnt know why they werent on the other food delivery apps anymore and they told me which one, I also wasnt picking up as it was delivery.
I found the original pencil very slippery, too - impossible to draw more than a few strokes without having to re-seat it.

Last time I tried mailing in return I ended up sending it 3 times. They never got it. And I started getting scam calls where they had clearly gotten ahold of the missing returns.
Sure, but it doesn't seem any are in national office. In the context of "Pelosi, Schumer, and Biden" wanting to keep "plans" away, it would seem that those plans would have to have some amount of publicity to begin with. There are an absurd number of plans by those not in office that have no publicity, and thus would be unknowable to the reader. That's why I was asking for clarification.
Yikes. I don’t bother with the app- their mobile web is way better.
The sign up is more complicated but once you’re in, it’s much easier. Pretty sure I can re-order on most app in less time it takes someone to answer the phone.
I don't get it. What does that DAO do exactly? They talk about distributing revenue, but revenue for what?
On top of the UX, ordering by phone (or walking up and ordering, if you have that privilege) keeps companies from firing their dedicated delivery guys.

It's already a dangerous and physically taxing job; I'd rather tip them cash and know that they have a dedicated route than having to zip around the city trying to figure out whether The Algorithm is going to nudge people to buy McDonald's or Taco Bell today.
to be fair, nothing really perfectly confirmed to POSIX now that i think of it.

who remembers the myriad choices in synchronization primitives that could be used for the main loop in preforking apache? (to work around all the different flavors of broken in unix derivatives) i remember one desperate choice falling all the way through to flock() on a sentinel file on disk...
I though the conclusion was that POSIX spec was not clear on this specific scenario, while the Linux kernel team advised the only real solution was for Postgres to move to direct I/O (DIO) instead, something that is still ongoing work?

OP does make interesting point. Why didn’t the capitalists (if they are so powerful) bring America into the war sooner?

This is a very valid point. Maybe worded badly but a perfectly valid thing to point out.

There is a clear contradiction here: In Democracies, public opinion does matter. It isn’t 100% capitalism. The capitalists might be able to get away with some excursions here and there, but when it comes to invading Europe and Japan, public opinion still mattered. The lack of public support was a major factor in why USA did not engage sooner, Pearl Harbor put it over the top definitively.

I didn’t read anything into his speech about being against going to war under all situations.

The Nazi war machine was identical to the group of gangsters outlined in this talk: Integrated capitalist warfare by way of industrialists. His point applies perfectly well to that situation. It’s exactly what happened.

Once one side begins the process, there wasn’t much that could be done, have to respond in kind.

Dominos is totally still aggregating data like that for over the phone orders. They just tag it with your phone number and address instead of a user account.
A local chain's website basically dumps to fax(!) to the selected store. It works...most of the time.
I'm unclear on how you suddenly know exactly what the issue was. I didn't say anything about a firewall.
> is full of ex-military

To be fair, this is just as true of an Israeli car repair shop or shawarma joint...
So they get my address, phone number, and email as user data correct? I mean what could they possibly gain from that with my benefit being free pizza and much cheaper prices. Now with Apple login they don't even gain my real email address.
If the address space wasn't assigned to you via a RIR, it won't take long for someone to notice though and get your announcement by enough relevant large tier 1 & tier 2 ISPs that your announcement won't reach most of the Internet.
At that point you can of course use the addresses locally, but you can't reach the rest of the internet.

This type of squatting was somewhat easier in the past when less of the IPv4 space was actually in use and when less strict filtering (or RPKI) was in place.
Still happens, but it's getting harder and harder.
> Blackened code looks the same regardless of the project you're reading. Formatting becomes transparent after a while and you can focus on the content instead.

Honestly every language needs something like this. Black is literally the first tool I install when I write Python and it's sorely missed when I move to a language without an opinionated formatter.
I hate ordering anything on the phone in the USA because no-one understands my British accent. "No, I want extra tomatoes. TOM-AH-TOES. Oh jesus. Onions. Just put some onions on there."
I'm skeptical of homelabs. There's people buying old rack mount servers on Ebay thinking they're getting a great deal when really they're getting a 10 year old machine that will obliterate their ears and provide more heating than processing power.

Anything you want to experiment with can be virtualised or ran in the cloud. The only legitimate use case for a homelab I can see is to play with hardware but it sure is an expensive hobby just so you can play around with RJ45 cables and switches.

Even for a NAS, you're just making yourself a system administrator of something you really don't want to go wrong. Save yourself the hassle, put it all in an S3 bucket and spend your hours on something else.
Semi-related:

The amount of complaining about "dumb management" amongst software engineers is truly out of control I find.

Newsflash, usually your principal engineer and VP are a lot cleverer than you, on average. They're at the top of a process to weed out idiots and are paid a multiple of your salary.

I usually start from the position of "my VP is a smart and clever person" and work backwards, ALWAYS. It seems like this attitude is exceptionally rare though.

I really liked the idea, but at one point they were asked about a recent controversy that was described as a professor writing that not all pedophiles are offenders. They were asked if that kind of speech would be allowed, and they gave a very unclear answer.

To be fair I didn’t look up all what that professor said, but if you claim to be a bastion of free speech but already think there’s a line somewhere that can’t be crossed before your university is up and running… That doesn’t bode well for how things will actually turn out.
Just today I wondered how many people have first name Mickey and middle name Mouse. I couldn't find anything - it just goes to generic Disney websites.
Ordering on the phone means that I need to pay cash, which means I need to have cash, which means I need to walk to the ATM, which means I may as well walk the extra two to three minutes further that the takeaway place is from the ATM and skip the delivery fee altogether.

Also yeah, trying to explain an order to be heard by someone trying to relay it back to a noisy kitchen in some of these takeaway places which don't have a dedicated person to man the phones is also a problem.
The presence and depth of the debate about this formatting choice suggests that it isn't arbitrary. Many have provided solid reasons for why one option should be preferred over the other. They aren't merely articulating their opinions; they are also providing objective reasons for why their opinion is valid.
I remember posting this in a similar thread a while ago but I’ll repeat it here. As an international student with an accent and an uncommon name, I will literally never order a pizza over the phone.
> For example, the "We don't recommend the general public wear masks at this time" was consistently misinterpreted to mean "Masks don't work", which is not what was said at all.

> The full nuanced statement was: "The CURRENT scientific evidence that is available does not support (OR deny!) that mask wearing by (specifically) the general public is (cost) effective enough to legally mandate. ALSO, at THIS TIME there is insufficient supply of masks, AND UNTIL supply can be increased the masks should be prioritised for health workers (that are trained to wear them properly)."

100% false. The statements were about what individuals should do. Not what governments would mandate. And some authorities said masks don't work expressly. "Seriously people- STOP BUYING MASKS! They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus"[1]

> People got especially confused by the "current scientific evidence does not support", because to them that sounds like "scientists say it doesn't work". That's not what that says at all, it's just a statement to say that not enough studies have been done at all to say anything one way or another confidently.

Current scientific evidence showed masks were effective for closely related coronaviruses. Do you doubt they would have recommended masks without a shortage?

Does anyone apart from Crisis Text Line benefit financially from Loris? If so it's clearly unethical. Even ignoring the kind of service that CTL is and the extra ethical considerations that entails, the founders of and investors in Loris are using the work of volunteers at a non-profit to bootstrap a company that they will profit from without clearly explaining this to the volunteers and users of the service in advance. Evidently not illegal, but pretty clearly unethical.

Not to mention that they've said that Loris hasn't reached the contractual threshold to actually pay any money to CTL yet...

Edit: Even if it is CTL taking all of the profits from Loris I would consider that unethical without clearly informing everyone involved of how the data from the interaction would be used, and a 50 paragraph privacy statement doesn't count as "clear"

Well, I mean, they can claim it's unclear, but to me they're obviously wrong—and you don't have to take my word over theirs; just go read the spec [1]. It's perfectly clear what "all data up to the time of the fsync() call" means. You obviously can't just read that phrase and claim it's in any way synonymous with "all data up to the time of the fsync() call since the previous call to fsync(), even if it failed (!)". "All data until X event" just means all data before X—plain, simple, and unambiguous. It just doesn't mean "all data until X since Y"!

My pizza place offers SMS text ordering and it is definitely the best option for ordering, especially when ordering a custom pizza. The only issue is that! he automated response includes a wait time which can be inaccurate, but I recognize this and follow up with a quick call.

> I forgot the canonical answer but it's evidently the case that the brain automatically creates a recibrocal to the mirror image which denies the fact that the "left" arm is still on your right side.

Generally the argument goes as follows: the mirror doesn't invert left and right. The image of your right arm is still on the right hand side of the image, just like your head remains at the top of the image. Instead it just inverts front and back.
Who on earth has ever ordered just a "large pizza for pickup"? Without specifying ingredients, type of crust, anything.

This is like ordering a chair by phone from a furniture store by dialing the number, saying "Armchair for pickup" and heading on over to the store.

Why reserve books online from the library? Just call them and say "10 books for pickup" and then hang up.
The "faster than NAT" argument made very little sense to me. A NAT adds like a few microseconds of latency, nothing to be perceptible for virtually all applications.

Like only on the back? Or in addition to the sides? Because, if it's the former, that's surprising.

For the record, most monitors that do have USB ports have them on the sides/bottom so you can more easily plug/unplug flash drives and the such.

Apple seemed to envision these monitors as more of lightning dock with an LCD on them.
But with Apple hardware, your monitor USB ports are often the only USB ports.
When I was in college I could call my local Dominos, ask for a large pizza and a two liter of soda and at the end say "if I pick it up will you double it?" They never said no. A local pizza shop always offered the same deal so Dominos had no choice. Good luck doing that in an app.

The headlines I've noticed that I feel obligated not to link back to, combined with the malice ascribed directly towards people due to their political leaning, gender, or sexual orientation, gave me enough pause to spend my night writing this.
The Dominos app is actually extremely well done. The UI is intuitive, has a ton of options for payments, shows exactly whats going on with your order, etc.
Not sure why this is downvoted. SQLite is great and all, but not depending on FFI is really nice for a lot of things (e.g., cross-compiling is a lot simpler). I'll trade quite a bit to avoid even the very highest quality C dependencies.
I realize how it sounds, but yes. It's the source of "comprehensible input" discussion that is cited again and again in online Japanese language learning circles if you dig through the rabbit hole of citations people make.
To reiterate, the example is trivialized; there isn't always an elegant solution that you just can't see because you didn't think hard enough.

Regarding the hard line width, "fit everything on the screen" is a poor goal to aim for; a more useful goal is to make the best use of the two dimensions you have at your disposal. Squishing things across either axis will make for a poorer experience than occasionally requiring some scrolling for some setups.

You may also find it interesting that Prettier does not interpret it as a hard limit as well: https://prettier.io/docs/en/options.html#print-width

This is not a good article. Or at least, very intellectually dishonest.

I could go point by point, but instead, just one will do. The comparison of ETH block vs Raspberry Pi. It is presented as if it’s some kind overlooked, unsolved issue by silly Ethereum developers. In reality, Ethereum is slower than Raspberry Pi by design, on purpose. It is meant to be runnable by a laptop and not taking the whole CPU.

The whole space becomes a lot more interesting once you begin to question, hmmm, WHY do these supposedly smart engineers make decisions I don’t get? There is almost always a WHY. And that is a lot more curious outlook than crypto-bro bashing.

And as a sidenote: why do we keep seeing these cheap shots at web3 and crypto regularly rising on HN? They rarely present any new insights.

"Best" is subjective.

For me, the ideal way to order pizza is one where I can order exactly what I want quickly.

Trying to order a pizza I want through a phone takes a _hell_ of a lot longer than using a website.

An example of a pizza I typically order:

* Thin crust medium, low cheese, BBQ sauce instead of tomato sauce, half with jalapenos and pineapple, half with mushrooms and diced tomatoes

Phone orders are slower and prone to miscommunication. Online apps, however, are precise and quick.

Therefore, the best way to order pizza given the criteria I specified above is through a website.
Well of course. Apple has only certified iOS to provide resistance against attackers with a basic attack potential. Why should it be any wonder that their security is inadequate against moderately or even highly skilled attackers?

Here we can see their certifications under the Common Criteria:

https://support.apple.com/guide/sccc/security-certifications...

For iOS 14, their most recently certified version, we see under their Security Target under Security Assurance Requirements on page 82:

https://support.apple.com/library/APPLE/APPLECARE_ALLGEOS/CE...

They conform to the AVA_VAN.1 requirement.

The official guidance for what qualifies as conforming to the AVA_VAN.1 requirement for their protection profile is described on page 136:

https://www.niap-ccevs.org/MMO/PP/pp_md_v3.1.pdf

“The evaluator shall conduct penetration testing, based on the identified potential vulnerabilities, to determine that the TOE is resistant to attacks performed by an attacker possessing Basic attack potential.”

Which is consistent with the text of the Common Criteria standard on page 170:

https://www.commoncriteriaportal.org/files/ccfiles/CCPART3V3...

Which by page 31 of the same document corresponds to EAL1 under the old EAL model.

To reach "resistant to attacks performed by an attacker possessing Moderate attack potential" would require conformance to AVA_VAN.4, 3 entire levels higher than their certification (corresponding to EAL5 under the old EAL model) and 1 level higher than any Apple, Google, Microsoft, or Linux system ever created and which has been deemed economically infeasible for them to ever retrofit onto their existing products as stated on page 38 of the same document.

I do think there is a grand conspiracy and its provable, but thats a discussion for another time. You are talking about the people that make up the labels, but I'm talking about the people who really control the parties. Without going into too much of a rant this is one of the biggest problems, that people talk about the left and the right as if they really have big influence over policy, when things like the Princeton study and many more prove otherwise, so I dont think its helpful to talk about the labels that apply to the vast majority of the populace instead of the actual people with influence: the uber-wealthy. Rest assured, even the "left" wealthy are just as interested in protecting existing hierarchies as any oil barron, and it's naive and unsupported by evidence to think otherwise.
