Does anyone else get confused by "apps" and "executables"? This one uses the term "Windows Apps" for ".exe" files, I wondered why anyone would want to run a Windows App https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/apps/windows

I don't understand how its better than VM, it says run them like they're native, but its separate windows for single applications, I thought it would use something like WINE.

It should be called "A Windows VM for executables in Linux with native windowing" unless I didn't understand it.
Great album that one.
Haven't seen much need to socialize outside my family.
Yes, changing metrics often in unpredictable ways.

I have seen this in a company where they would change employee objectives every year, and also promote and demote people into unexpected new roles. This seemed to result in everyone understanding that next year things can be very different, and does not give people enough time to corrupt a metric. So everyone needs to build good working relations with superiors and subordinates, and not only try to meet objectives but also do well for the company in general, because next year roles can be reversed.

This system is tiring for everyone though...
It doesn't address the criticism from many legacy Google Apps users using custom domain email and drive / calendar for our families.

It would be great if they would at least provide a reasonably priced option. I don't mind paying, but paying $7/mo per account just seems like they're ignoring personal use rather than business use.

I'd be willing to pay $10 or $15/mo for up to 10 personal accounts.
Sounds really cutting edge, I wonder if they used the blockchain.
Every community slides into its own stereotype like becoming a caricature of itself, but it's not objectively a bad thing, just strange to outsiders while the regulars are just fine with HN as it is. Oops, I mean LinkedIn.
> Is open access to information and the internet by not currently a fundamental human right?

No.

People trying to stuff everything under the sun into the human rights label are to a large part to blame for public disillusionment with the term.
Oh I got a wikipedia article for you :)

I'm trying to avoid taking on more projects. The DX7 has a second custom chip, so if I look at that one too, I'll be busy for a while...
I think with enough co-processors responding to enough "(dis)incentives" you could get the same result.

Present and future anger, present and future pain, predicting whether future social cohesion will be maintained based on how a response is made to someone within a social graph. Understanding and assuming that nodes (other people) within a social graph can communicate to each other to update the state of a social interaction that they weren't present for.

I think it is possible.

If pleasure was just a variable on a scale from 0 to 10, and not its own co-processor, and an assumption that some forms of pleasure can influence parts of the social graph, it maybe isn't even that complicated anymore.

I think it would become less distinguishable from consciousness.
Are vacations also a fundamental human right? Sounds like a good way for two groups of people to both get what they need.
In the UK they are "lorries", but in the US they are "semi-trucks". Lorry comes from an old word "to lurry", which means "to lug or pull about". But what about the semi truck? Please read.
I think linkedin, while it's always been pretty fake, is getting close to a point where it is either going to get overhauled or collapse completely into an empty wasteland going beyond embarrassing self promotion and into even more absurd cliches of what "professionals" should share.

It serves an important function, and I have used it to find work and connect with former colleagues. But I think by ratcheting up the social media style attention algorithms, the company has been strip mining their credibility, and there is not much left
The last time I offered a Rails PR that extended core classes, it got a thumbs down review on that basis alone.

Solnic's complaint is often voiced, and has merit for all the reasons given (and more besides IMO), and Rails is certainly stuck with ActiveSupport, but the core team does not seem keen on exacerbating the problem.

Additions to ext modules are, consequently, rare, and in fact there's a trend going the other way, e.g. https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/33ca3923170a50da7f1731...
It would be nice if they only charged for customers that discovered the app on the App Store. I would assume that the fraction of users who install apps after discovering them on the app store is miniscule compared to how many people learn of new apps through other channels.
> but you're against performance reviews?

It may be useful to further refine what we mean when we are talking about "performance reviews". Are we talking about regular discussions between Managers (or skip-level, or product stakeholders) and their reports, or are we talking about an HR-driven process that happens every x months? Personally (for whatever that's worth) I find the former helpful and the latter to be mostly a waste of time.

> How do you know if you're doing well or poorly in your job?

Just my 2¢, but I think most folks would acknowledge that it is easy to have a myopic view, and outside feedback is valuable. But, at the same time, I would expect most (non-junior) engineers (who have been at a company long enough to understand the business) to have some sense of how their efforts and contributions are going? Put more plainly, I know if I'm slacking, and I don't usually need my manager to tell me that I'm writing decent code or getting my work done. That said, this all surely depends a lot on the specifics of the work and the organization/teams involved. And also assumes some healthy and regular conversations between peers and between the Business and the development team.
> mostly only technologists, journalists, and artists on the latter.

Ah so that's why twitter is so insufferable
It's also about general safety in NYC. There have been a many deadly accidents over the years. Whole buildings have gone up in flames: https://ny.eater.com/2020/1/21/21070310/pommes-frites-east-v...

Ironically, this accident happened because someone was installing gas illegally.

Prohibition can cause as much harm as it alleviates.
They also have stack ranked tests you can take to demonstrate skills, which seems like a relatively fair way to do it.
The latest version of Starlink is equipped with lasers to do these hops.

Clicking profile pic takes you to the channel home, which isn't the same as the profile page. The stream page is the profile page (this is under "About" on the channel home)

Yes it's a small nitpick, and yes it's a silly thing for them to have "NEW!" next to that "feature" for a long period of time.
Once they get the inter-satellite laser links working, there are probably better places to put ground stations. Right now they're going with Fiji as the location because it has internet connectivity and is close enough for Starlink satellites to be visible from both places. The latter constraint will probably go away before too long.
I work in medical education related tech and I make content. I spend a lot of time searching for information related to medicine online - knowledge aimed more at the actual medical practitioners. One of the big irritants in this research is how much the ad model has warped everything to be centered on the patient. I'm not totally blocked but I do feel hindered. For example if I'm looking for a procedure it's far more likely for the results to be from sources which dilute and simplify because they're intended on selling patients on something.

If I were presented with an information search product capable of being aware of my specific needs and adapting itself for these needs, I could probably convince my higher-ups to actually pay for something like this. I really wish I could get the same experience doing medical research as the one I get when searching programming related questions, which often return detailed explanations on stackoverflow, actual documentation and other valuable content.

On another and somewhat different note I'm from a specific European country and I've noticed searching in my language in topics related to my country is even worse. If I'm searching for important information regarding something specific for my country, like taxes/institutional affairs, the google search is basically unusable because the results are infested with obnoxious endless clickbait/GDPRconsent/cookies/garbage/websites. I vividly remember how search results in my country used to return forums and conversations, but from what I understand everyone is on FB groups which aren't displayed. There is so much out there being talked about that doesn't seem to 'exist' in the eyes of a search algo.

Weird times.
As someone who's been developing professionally for over a decade and a half now, I think the author misses one *major* critical point.

Regardless of whether or not a programmer cares about correctness, most programmers don't work in academia on toy projects. They work in the real world - with 15 year old codebases, tons of dependencies, integrations with other systems, deadlines and commitments, budget constraints, and a team who were all hired to work on that type of code, not some other type of code with different processes and tools.

No matter how much a programmer might prefer to have strong compiler-time type checks, or full test coverage, or design-by-contract, or a codebase written with literate programming, or whatever.

They can't just go off and spend several years rewriting the entire system and all its dependencies, using different languages, tools, methods, etc., to be 'better'. Especially not when it already mostly works and the company already has processes in place to deal with bugs.

They have to work within, and gradually evolve, the existing systems and processes. And do so in a way that's compatible with all the other stuff it has to interact with (dependencies, customer system integrations, etc.) without disrupting service. While still delivering new features and fixes.

And that is a massively more difficult problem than simply using whatever your favored technique is to write 'correct' code from the start on a brand new and self-contained toy project.

It's not difficult to use any of those tools or techniques. But it's quite difficult indeed to use them in many/most professional projects.

The main thing that's needed is good easy ways to gradually evolve a system to use them, especially when it's a partially-controlled system. Progress is being made, but at a glacial pace. Saying "programmers don't care" is mostly pointless and wrong, programmers hate dealing with bugs. They'd be happy to have the system prevent a great many of them.

Add haproxy on it
Cool tech + crappy business model = little interest from consumers. Early on it was sort of described as a Netflix for games, but instead it became a thing where you pay full price for games, and maybe also a monthly subscription. Or something? The muddy messaging would be unsettling enough on its own, but given Google's notoriously short attention span, it screamed "stay away", so I did.
Right, but that doesn’t necessarily equal a good time for consumers. It’s a common gripe among PC gamers that every major vendor wants their own launcher, some of which are borderline spyware.
Like say... Altavista?
I will give the latest version another go.

I last used it 3 years ago, and I agree, I found it difficult to use, and worse, it would frequently corrupt the model, or confuse the object hierarchy to the point I would have to start again.
> it might be a good idea (if their goal is to help people learn languages) to remain as tiny as possible while being effective over some threshold. Then it would easily fit in people's schedules.

Sure, but a little bit of daily engagement is a reasonable approach to that.

> Their motivation seems to be engagement with the app, not language learning

True, but daily streaks are a plus for language learning, so it makes no sense to attack the practice of tracking daily streaks.

Duolingo is not an effective use of your time if you want to learn a language. But if we assume that the options are Duolingo or nothing, you're better off using Duolingo every day.
But there isn't (end) user hostility here, there's developer hostility. It's using this as leverage against the developer, and developers aren't willing to call Apple's bluff...presumably because users are more excited by Apple than by the particular app.
Is it possible to run a windows driver for an external audio interface?
I think a good comparison is to look at gaming. Most consoles have been walled gardens, ever since Nintendo revitalized the market. You end up with centralized power in the hand of a few big companies.

While in pc gaming, small indie studios can create entire new genres, like Factorio did, some which go on to grow and become giants themselves, like Minecraft.
Feels a bit too hard, I've only managed to clear one line. Building straight lines out of triangles seems hard, there are so many overhang pieces. Not saying it needs to be easier but I might need some help to get started.
Oh and on mobile ios they’ve removed the ability to sort channel videos by popularity or age…

Popular sort was a great way to find what a new channel was about
Why did you add "just"? Please don't put words in my mouth.
I have to maintain code that was written by a developer who has long since left the space. He monkeypatched in stuff like Hash#dig years before it landed in ruby with a slightly different API and blew up the codebase. Since he was a pretty clever developer and had some wide experience in other languages he would monkeypatch in useful stuff from other languages -- but by doing that collisions with the core language are actually pretty frequent. Many people have the same clever idea when its really just copying some pattern that was successful in some other language.

Awhile back I gutted the code and ripped out 60% of it, including all the monkeypatching and the maintanence burden on every ruby release dropped sharply.

(And I'm assuming we're talking about the more polite kind of Monkeypatching where you're adding methods to global classes that are net-new, not the practice of opening up a class and scribbling over methods that you didn't write and replacing behavior, where should you should always mental picture your SemVer contract being lit on fire)
This sounds like a grand top level question. I am in the same boat.
Now that's just a flat out lie
Well it's one thing to have a twitter argument but it sounds like they sent threats towards his family and he is quitting for their safety as he knows how crazy some nuts are on the web. Chances are they were hollow threats but sounds like it just wasn't worth it to him. He really should follow up with the police and see if he can get whoever did this and see they get some prison time for terroristic threats as they likely will just do it again with someone else now that they probably feel empowered.
Show HN: LinkedIn created over 1 weekend (written in Rust, uses CSS instead of JS)

> I believe Facebook now uses some "AI" to help with attribution on iOS

Is that even legal? With AI, you can never concretely prove anything, so you then have Facebook literally making up numbers it pinky swears are legit and billing you accordingly (semi-directly because while you're not paying per click, the landing page analytics are also used to weed out robo clicks and other fraud that you shouldn't be billed for).
I don't understand why a Canadian is being tried in the US after being captured in the Dominican Republic. That's just bizarre.
I've seen other posts here before with similar offerings such as Looking Glass; does this make use of GPU passthrough or does it use GPU virtualisation? I ask because my Linux machine doesn't have onboard graphics on my CPU so I can't use passthrough solutions to achieve good performance (didn't realise I needed this when I bought my parts).
So you blame the user for not filtering the ads? And you don't blame Google for serving them?
Having office-shared with a recruiting firm, and having worked in several startups that have a "long-sales"/"closer" department.. I can attest that LinkedIn is exactly what it is like in the day-to-day jobs in the flesh, too. Lots of gongs/bells/claxons, always followed by _so_ many high-fives and a round of applause.

Everyone knows it's bullshit, but this kind of toxic/fake positivity is demanded, and weirdly, it works even though everyone knows it's fake.
I've been trying to remember the name of this for ages - I thought it was patented at one stage though, would you know if thats true? I can't seem to find the patent.
This is a fine answer if you're responsible for a small numbers of technologies, otherwise there are far too many "top to bottom" docs to read in a lifetime, let alone the time you have to meet whatever deadline is in front of you.

Where it gets even trickier, is that these days nobody is responsible for just a small numbers of technologies.

Does your app use the internet? Read about TCP/IP and DNS and other internet technologies top to bottom.
Does your app use a database? Read the DB docs top to bottom.
How about multiple data stores?
Is you app publicly facing? Read about 100 different potential security issues top to bottom.
I could go on...
Cringe is a verb, not an adjective.
It looks like the contracted amount from Kacific was 1 Gbps and the previous fiber cable was offering 10 Gbps. It doesn't seem implausible that a single prioritized Starlink Premium terminal could deliver at least 1 Gbps and that would be very easy to fly in and setup.

Side note, it's really incredible that an entire island got by on 10 Gbps of bandwidth.
The combination of LiveBook -- Elixir's version of a Jupyter notebook -- and embedded development is really interesting.

Being able to open a notebook on a remote device and poke around is really interesting.

You're playing into exactly what they are saying and you don't even see it, wow.
If you are using wsl because of heavy windows programs typically like games then I guarantee this won't work as well as a wsl setup. It is cool but it doesn't seem like enough for me to move away from wsl (which I'd like to do if there was true and simple 'reverse wsl')
You can already (and perhaps should) use preact today, a much better React clone. With 2 lines of webpack config, it can even be a complete drop-in replacement with no code changes.
The money comes from end users. Developers don't pay into the system.
I like the refinements mechanism too and it is most certainly underutilized, but the lexical scope makes it an incomplete substitute, and somewhat problematic during reflection.
It wasn't based on nationality though. That's untrue.
Yeah there's a reason linking accounts together gives you free items in a ton of games; Twitch Prime Loot might have started that trend but now everyone is doing it.

I think the risk here is that adblocking can only grow (and maybe Manifest v3 is the only answer Google has had to that so far). As people become more frustrated with Google they either complain to their friends/family or search online for help and inevitably learn about adblocking.

Once they do that they become lost to Google forever.

Perhaps the only holdout is mobile. But otherwise ad-tech is poisoning the well for themselves.
I love the things that the charm gang is working on and the associated projects. The only things that are dragging me out from Rust to Go https://github.com/charmbracelet/
google.com/maps is also a pain nowadays, with almost half the space of my (smallish laptop) screen being ads and controls. I'm glad I don't own stock in this company, because they are on the wrong side of the advertising Laffer curve, and moving back will be difficult because customers have choices and are unlikely to come back.

The main cause behind Linkedin being cringe is because it's fake and phony. There's so much fake positivity, humbleness, appreciation, virtuousness and empathy from every part of the corporate world now. This used to be at least guarded amongst upper level management, who endured this garbage but at a great financial gain. Now this corporate cringe has penetrated the general public. People who are making peanuts are talking about "synergy", "innovation" and "disruption".
Freerdp has had RemoteApp capability for a long time.
This is an important point. We might want USB-C on iPhones, we might want subscriptions to not have an "Apple Tax," but do we really want politicians to micromanage industry to such a level?

Personally, I can't help but think of Standard Oil. Plenty of value was made there, drove oil and kerosene prices way down... and they still got broken up.
With 500+ ms ping and 100 gb per month I take issue with regular satellite "just fine". But I may be biased due to what I'm used to. Starlink should be much lower latency, even with the extra ground hop.
