Even if we accept your premise, the usual method of enforcing region-based separate is very crappy on Apple's platforms. I am a fairly big proponent of Apple products in the majority of cases, but this particular case is very shitty.

Many apps are released only in a single country or a handful of countries.

Many users create an Apple ID and thus an App Store account, and purchase apps, in their home country. They they move abroad. Their country of residence is not the same as the country that their Apple ID exists in.

Apple does not offer a mechanism to move your Apple ID and App Store purchases between countries. You can move your Apple ID and lose access to your purchases, or keep your Apple ID in your (wrong) "original" country, but not both.

This burns people who move between countries. In the case of this regulation, e.g. Tinder would release an app for the Dutch market... but expats would not realistically be able to use it, hence Apple would likely still be in breach of the regulations).

In the more general case, many people are unable to access important iOS applications purely as a virtue of having moved countries. It's shitty.
One related thing is that there has been a large increase in attempts by scammers to mimic a legitimate product with a fake domain, etc. You could actually detect these pretty well by looking at the TVL and other factors. Was the contract deployed fewer than 30 days ago? Have the amount of funds deposited to it less than the top 50/100 contracts?

A related problem is not even depositing but simply granting token approval to a scam app, and similar techniques may be used to warn users before they give these approvals.
> Your best example of a dangerous theory is Ivermectin? How many deaths has that idea caused?

I'm guessing that OP was referring to the idea of Ivermectin as a cure for COVID. For example, choosing not to get vaccinated or wear a mask but to have a plan to take Ivermectin if they contract COVID and then contracting COVID and spreading it to others and possibly succumbing to it.
Yes, because Firefox allows uBlock on Android. Browsing the mobile web with ad-block is such a huge quality improvement.
Ok, changed above. Thanks!
If you're willing to spend money on a font for coding, then do yourself a favor and take a look at PragmataPro as well. I bought a license (checks notes...) 8 years ago and it has served me very well.

If I was not down to pay for a font, then I'd probably use one of Iosevka's forms. Personally, however, it became clear to me that just like my monitor, the font I spend hours looking at every day is also worth some money.

One of the known problems is that it's common for schizophrenics to go to a hospital for inpatient treatment, get better, go home to family and get worse again.

Their family members may care about them and still be part of the problem. It's really common for people to want to save face and swear it's not their fault, it's something else. In such cases, they won't change. They won't take responsibility for their role. They will blame something else, anything else.

I think it's a mistake to just take the word of a relative as to what went wrong in a case where they might be part of what went wrong. But I usually don't say that because I know that's likely to get really negative reactions from people.

Suffice it to say I still don't agree with you and there's probably nothing to be gained from discussing this further.
Like the idea of using DNS as additional filter criteria.

False equivalence? The behaviour of these recent protestors is the crux of the issue.
I tried to use FF on Android, and while it's capable and works rather well, perf-wise Chromium is just years ahead (I use Brave).

You can see it well on JS-heavy sites like Twitter, the difference is very easy to perceive with loading time, scrolling perf, and also with memory management (Firefox evicts pages from memory cache aggressively compared to Chromium; you sometimes switch a tab or switch an app, go back, and bang, it's gone and needs a reload); and I have a decent good phone (not top shelf, but a "high-mid" Pixel 3a, probably 60-70th percentile within Androids?).

Show HN: Magniv, One line data science infra
Hey HN!

We are https://www.magniv.app/ - Magniv is a platform to enable data scientists to autonomously create, deploy, and maintain data applications within existing infra pipelines. That is, reduce data science reliance on data engineers in mature data organizations.

While living between both worlds of software engineering and data science, we have seen a lack of mature organizational tooling for data scientists. Data teams either require embedded data engineers or companies are forced to find a unicorn full-stack data software engineer to hire. On top of that, the tooling that does exist in this space does not take into consideration good software and infrastructure practices that most high performance software engineering teams require.

We are looking for interested teams to join our beta! Please check out or website and sign up
Isn’t it just that they are required to use a new bundle ID? Essentially the developer workload imposed here would be changing a single string in a single file (the project’s Info.plist file).

To be sure there are other challenges raised by this for the developer. For example any app specific storage would need to be migrated to the other app, something for which there are mechanisms in the Apple ecosystem as long as the two App IDs in question come from the same developer. If they don’t, then the developer would have to cook up their own solution for that.

Also marketing would be an issue. For example the review history for one app would not be migrated to the other App ID unless Apple provides a way to do this (which I would not expect unless they are forced).

In short, while it’s not zero impact, it’s also not quite as bad as the scare headline makes it sound.
> There’s more than one way to interpret that

Sure, but there’s also the really obvious interpretation.

These are people who will immediately earn more if the apple tax is reduced.
I don't think there's a problem with the formula here in terms of maintaining professional contacts, but it does seem like an interesting--and quite recent--phenomenon that staying in touch with hundreds of people is even desirable unless you are doing sales.

There's certainly utility and yet, it's staggering just how few people do the more rewarding and impactful (with lots of research to back it up) work of daily connection with one or two people.

I would venture to say that it's even more 'socially acceptable' to put effort into cultivating weak ties that stay weak than to do the work to transform non-romantic relationships into close friendships.
Perl is infamous for its concise syntax, allowing to write very dense programs. Contrary to popular opinion, it is very well possible to write both concise and well readable and understandable code.

Python in contrast emphasizes the "one statement per line" rule which gives somewhat more elaborate codes. And I am not even talking about "boilerplate codes" as in Java. Nevertheless, python is infamous for its very well readability, which is beyond the average Perl code.
Because Google is still in control. Saying that Chromium "accepts pull requests" is misleading. That's true, but the overall direction and large architectural decisions are made by Google.

For example, see Manifest V3 (and the deprecation/removal of old versions). Almost everybody that hears about it disagrees - users, extension developers, etc. However, despite it's popularity being as low as could be, Google is still putting it in.

Today, if I see an article about FLOC (or whatever they're calling it now) and don't like it I can go and download Firefox. In a Chromium-only world I'm SOL.
That’s true to a degree except that most of the companies involved have made their position by selling it as a platform that anyone can use and that the content on the platform is explicitly not the speech of the platform provider.

Hahaha.. this is a hilarious comment.

These people are not the minority. They're self-professed victimes of so-called tyranny that doesn't exist. The sheer fact that they're able to protest for this long, in this way, at the nations capital is ample evidence that this so-called tyranny they're fighting is a delusion.

Equivocating that with the lived experience of millions of people who are fighting for true equality is truly a laughable position.

Honk, I guess.

This is awesome to see - I built myself an incredibly similar version of it using Airtable as well. I send myself 3 names per week, and found that's the right number for me to send outreach to.

To me, it doesn't feel forced at all - it's up to me whether I want to contact the suggestions, or ignore. Often times I get a suggestion for someone who I've spoken to recently, and I can happily ignore the reminder!

The biggest issue I have with it is keeping the contact list up to date. I would love if someone built software that did exactly this, but also let me sync my Linkedin / Instagram / Gmail accounts and suggested new people to add to my list, based on who I've newly connected with recently. Or if there's a way to do it in Airtable, even better.
If they support it, who cares how it's made?

This. When I joined my prev company in mid 2018, I checked some graphs, and mobile users market share was around 45%. When I checked the same graph in mid 2021, mobile market share was >60%.

In fact, it’s a good example of how design solves something. An upfront photo does a much better job than showing you a searchbox (after all, it’s a database so it should start with a search box, shouldn’t it?) and letting you discover that there are no stacktraces in this workshop.
Author here. I somewhat agree with you, but slow internet is a phrase used by some to describe these networks. Think country road rather than super highway. There's nothing about gopher which encourages you to click on the next shiny thing that grabs your attention. You can take your time.

Also, a lot of these sites are hosted on pretty slow servers! Which really isn't a problem for these protocols, but it is true. Many are self-hosted on Raspberry Pis and the like.

> I want a future of abundant and cheap energy.

We are talking about drying clothes. The sun (and wind) _is_ abundant and free for at least some part of year (yes, depending on your location). I'm not talking about not using dryers any more at all, but that it is quite easy to not always use one. And most people in 'developed nations' still don't use one.

I've just found some data for Germany: 43% of households in Germany have had a dryer in 2021.

https://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/516868/umfrag...

In the UK the numbers are higher: 58% of households in 2018

West Germany: 17%
France: 12%
Italy: 10%

> Energy use is not the problem.

Not necessarily directly, no. But somebody needs to build and maintain 'stuff' that generates, 'transports' and uses this energy. So in the end there is a need for more of many other resources too.
>Does anyone here actually feel personal goal setting as beneficial anyhow?

Personal goal setting has helped me a lot, though I haven't developed many personal goals at the request of a supervisor (they're created just for myself).

The assumptions that make personal goal setting work are:

i) Time and energy is limited, so I can't pursue all my interests at once.

ii) If time isn't made for personal goals, they won't happen, as requests from other people (or unfocused activity) will occupy my attention.

iii) By keeping goals in mind, it's easier to maintain boundaries on time, by politely declining certain tasks or opportunities to focus on my goals.

This has helped with developing skills outside the workplace (which have indirectly helped with my work), as it provides clarity whenever there is uncertainty about how to spend time and energy when there isn't external structure.

In a past workplace, I've set personal goals with a non-technical supervisor (e.g. suggestions to add features to a website). This helped with skill development and showed initiative that was appreciated, as the supervisor wouldn't have thought about these potential features (as their primary responsibilities weren't in development).
Do you have any proof, or is it isolated incidents of conveniently fully masked agitators waving Nazi flags?
Firefox has three main issues:

* Aggressive competition who are ready to use dark patterns on all platforms to push their own products. All of Google, Microsoft and Apple are doing it one way or another.

* No financing. Pocket and Mozilla VPN are rather miserable revenue streams and therefore FF relies on the likes of Google for the bulk of their budget which means that they are limited in what they can do against Google.

* Really old code base that needs to be adapted for the modern web which takes money and resources from other initiatives.

* The Mozilla Foundation which seems to consider the browser a golden hen that will provide them nice profits to waste.

Saving it is nearly impossible. The things to happen are:

* major legislation that must level up the browser market or an economic shift that will break Google, Microsoft and Apple dominance on the major user platforms.

* a miracle new money tree should grow up in San Francisco such that it will be an independent revenue source for the project.

* much more people and organizations should invest in improving the browser either with money or effort (magic tree or failure of all other browser engines).

* Firefox should be liberated from the foundation and be a community project like Debian so that people have better feeling of ownership of the project.

PS: The off-by-one error is intentional.
"Since vehicles are moving so much faster, with more limited reaction speed and with massively higher kinetic energy they should be held to a higher standard."

And the laws show that (cars are obligated to try to avoid it even if they have the right of way). The question is what qualifies as negligence or recklessness. In civil law there is the idea of contributory negligence. Meaning if the pedestrian breaking the law by being there then they contributed to the situation through their negligence. This may be enough to prove that the driver wasn't at fault through negligent or reckless behavior if they were following the law.

"Walking is a necessity, driving is a privilege."

Driving is a privilege. Walking may be a necessity. However, performing illegal acts is not a necessity. This is crucial in the discussion of negligence and recklessness. Especially if the activity is reckless, as they know the risks of their illegal activity and accept them by doing it anyways.

"Pedestrians inherently move a lot slower and are more predictable"

Slower, yes. More predictable, no. People can change direction more quickly and erratically (no turning radius, etc). Cars can be very predictable because of the constraints their mechanical nature provide. You also have to see them to be able to predict, which could be difficult if they throw open a car door from a heavily tinted (illegal in my state) car parked on the side.

So, to get back to the original topic... we could assume that the act of hitting a pedestrian is de facto negligent unless proven otherwise. But what would 'proving otherwise' mean? Here I'm saying that if the pedestrian was negligent or reckless, then that could provide evidence that the accident was the fault of the pedestrian. This could absolve the driver if they were following the law.

And let's not forget that there are people who will throw themselves on cars for the payout. Upsetting the current balance could exacerbate this issue.
> There are no financial regulations that currently harm me, a consumer.

Mostly true if your main financial transactions are receiving bank deposits from your work & paying bills, and if you, your family and your friends all live in first-world countries.
This is a pretty bad argument, because it conveniently omits that antitrust regulation is also extremely open-ended. Sure, Apple has the right to profit however they see fit. The government also has the option to smack them down however they please; just a few months ago the DOJ and SEC demanded that Apple started unloading their liquid cash or risk a lawsuit. Why? They simply made too much money. That's all it was.

I think the simple explanation is this: if Apple continues to make money with the insane software margins they have today, they're going to face regulatory action. The cat is out of the bag, developers are pissed off, and more than half of the states in the US have come forward in opposition to Apple's monopoly over iOS app distribution. Just short of incorporating in another country, there's very little Apple can do to maintain their status quo without some kind of regulatory action coming down the pipes.

Not necessarily related to remote work, but when the pandemic started I expected that working from home + the gobs of free time earned from many activities being suspended would give me an immense amount of time to site down, work on some ambitious projects, learn a lot, and give me the time I needed to drive my career in a direction I wanted.

None of that happened ofc, and by the end of the first year not only had I failed to do those things, some other changes I had started making in my life for the better starting just a few months pre-pandemic completely exploded.
I don't know about police, but the most unpleasant experience I've ever had at any immigration was in Japan.

They were NOT polite. Even if they found nothing wrong.

US immigration is a day at the spa in comparison. Even when the consulate messed up my fingerprints. Cleared up in under two hours, they were cold but polite the entire time - not angry and disrespectful.

After I was finally allowed in Japan, 4 hours after I had arrived - thanks to my uncle, a Japanese citizen - everything went fine. Nice people, spent three months there.

I'd like to visit again, but I'm dreading the immigration experience.
According to the uBlock author: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-b...

I'm not sure how critical this is in practice; but the way this evolved may be a symptom of the fact that Blink's authors' motivations align less well with those of an ad-block user than Firefox's authors' motivations do.

The worry of course is that once there truly are no competing rendering engines, that google will no longer feel the pressure to put user's interests before those of sites of even itself. And because blink and webkit don't really compete (still nice to have two, but on virtually no devices are both engines serious alternatives), that day is pretty close; it's likely already having an impact.
To me, the developer tools is getting out of date for modern development tooling on frontend.
