> Is there a better way of achieving this?

I am not a lawyer but here are some random ideas:
Societies have invented patents as an exception to a generic right to copy: Something which is patented must not be copied without authorization. They were also invented because copyright/brand name can't protect industrial objects which were often simple in design.
So the innovation that patent laws brought was to protect the way something is working to reach some goal.
Claim 1: This is a car toy equipped with rockets
Claim 2: Where rockets uses water
Claim 3: Where water is produced from thin air

There are possibly similar legal objects with similar goals.
For example some companies sell their knowledge to government in exchange of keeping it secret. Why not imagine the reverse?

Could companies sell their knowledge to government in exchange of making it public? After all it's the interest of any government to make economy thrive and make non strategic knowledge to diffuse as quickly as possible.

This is the model used by IBM/Oracle/Redhat/etc: They sell something now almost trivial (OSes, DB, workflows) yet which needs an army of consultants to be production ready and conform to current legislation.

It's possible also to protect your product by the power of your brand. They were thousand manufacturers which tried producing pseudo iPhones but nearly nobody wants to buy one which would be obviously fake.

If companies prefer patents, it's because they don't like competition and it is easy to kill nascent competitors with an expensive trial.
Shameless plug for my soon to be outdated Safari iOS extension https://filepicker.app which implements these APIs through an extension.
? There certainly are, and it is a well-studied topic. Maybe you want to quibble on the definition or how large a role it plays, but it is well established (and also pretty obvious for anyone that has lived in one, which is millions of people).

(Edit: perhaps misunderstood what you were referring to, but if a food desert is say 10 miles without access to fresh groceries, not having a car makes that much more difficult. Even with a car, that means a larger time commitment. So I see that as part of the reasoning of what a food desert is and why that is a barrier to access to healthy food.)
I'm not sure why you're getting down-voted, but I want to ask about this.

> "I've never had one suggest code for me to write or suggest a method name"

That's confusing to me. You mean if you were coding something in, say, JavaScript, and you typed `Math.` that never in your experience has any IDE popped up a list of methods, like `abs` or `random`, that you could down-arrow through and select by hitting enter?

Like, go here - https://www.typescriptlang.org/play - and type "Math" on line 1 and then type "."

That list of pop-ups is a completely novel experience for you?
Why are you saying this is late? The specification is a draft, the only other rendering engine to support it is Blink, and Firefox isn’t going to implement the full spec.
While you’re at it you could also use some deep style transfer to improve your overall looks. Just make sure that no real image can be found anywhere. /s
My old job had a google search appliance that searched their internal documentation. It actually worked. I miss it.
During the time I worked at VMware (after they bought the small consulting company I worked for), I always marveled that Pat Gelsinger was the most well spoken and authentic CEO that I had ever heard. One of the smartest guys, too.

I think that if anyone can turn Intel around, it will be Pat.

I have never been an Intel fan. In fact, I consider them to be a co-conspirator along with Microsoft of committing some of the biggest crimes that this industry has ever committed.

But I am a big fan of Pat.
Food deserts are a myth. The idea has been so thoroughly debunked, I'm always surprised to see it pop up again. NYT gave it a hard look back when it was Michelle Obama's big project. TLDR, it's been well studied, and the available evidence showed that there is no statistical association between proximity to various food types and any measure of health.

Anecdotally this makes sense to me. I see lots of parents around me-- poor and moneyed, white and of-color-- teaching their kids to eat shit. The Standard American Diet is a plague on the entire nation, across all demographic lines.

TFA is about racial inequalities in treatment of diabetes and other chronic health problems. There's no need to further adorn this crisis with contrived issues.
Haha good luck, both the states and Europe have moved towards more complicated vat rules in the last years
Even for twitter, how can they afford it? It's the best in the game but charging by ingestion volume is not the best business model especially when they are not paying for storage. They could charge as an alternate based on users and endpoint entities/app instances that are logging instead. Now that Cisco is taking over Splunk, I don't expect it to stay great. But if they make it work it could save Cisco!
I'm not so sure it's so obvious, legally, that you own facts about you.
You're really cavalier about whether widespread hacks happen. See any of the text message attacks from the past decade.
They can identify you if you’ve ever used any other information with it. Why do you think they want you to have a Microsoft account?

It isn’t dramatic at all, it’s the blatant truth.
It doesn't on mine, it just brings up the timeline, where you then have to press it more times to jog back then press select. Surely you see how that's not the same thing?
The short answer is it doesn’t matter when a government comes after you because of their ability to spend the resources necessary to infiltrate your device.

Apple’s security teams aren’t public facing; I suspect if a corporate or university customer had security issues, they would be addressed.

I was looking for something on a European level, but Europol seems to care only about money trails as far as I can tell from their website...

Also as previous comment said: get a lawyer. No, seriously, I mean it. The scapegoat game is harsh when someone on the other end reads the term "hacker" or "leak" because they (companies) fear blame and want to avoid it.
I fail to understand how such a thing like civil asset forfeiture can even exist in a 'wah-wah-freedom' country like the USA. You are presumed guilty if the state wills it, your assets seized and good luck finding money to hire an attorney to contest the charges.

If this was 1775, Americans would be launching a revolutionary war against such tyranny. Citizens have gotten real soft these days.
Well its pretty apparent in the state of American society today, and exemplified by companies like Facebook and Tesla flagrantly and repeatedly violating the law without substantive consequence
Batista also committed a lot of atrocities from a fairly capitalism-based position in collusion with Cuba’s wealthy landowners. Not that the previous regime excuses the current communist regime, but opacity, media suppression, and human rights violations are of course not exclusive to communism.
Dyson spheres are just inane.... sorry but they don't make sense.

Any advanced form of civilization that can build one, probably figured how to do fusion efficiently locally and doesn't have to build these insanely inefficient energy harversters.

Keep in mind that the sun is very inefficient at energy release.

Dyson sphere prediction is like predictions in the 1800s how we would have coal and steam powered airships to travel around.

The reality is that steam via coal fire is too inefficient. Coal is just too heavy. Jet fuel is much more efficient/energy dense and not need to build giant airships.

Same with any advanced civilization. Dyson spheres just don't make sense, but they sure make good sci-fi movies/stories for the gullible.
Thoughts on Intel software-defined silicon
> Auto completion has always worked well as a way to discover methods

I think that was exactly the criticism in the article, though, that discovery via IDE is limiting, and for many developers this method of discovery supercedes actually reading documentation. I'm not sure he's wrong.
One nice thing about fully-remote industries is that at least there's no preferential selection for height
I'm not going to claim that it's right in this situation, but calling people names and social ostracism is a very effective way to modify the behaviors of people. In no small part because people dislike it and it modifies incentives.

Is this the equivalent to the “pre-mature scaling” phenomenon in tech?

In the early days of a startup, I agree with your statement. Once the company gets significantly bigger, these things start to matter a lot.
That's terrible advice that is among some of the worst advice that could be given. There are many other types of attacks that are not viral, are not ransomware and do not originate from state actors.

I'm in the Java ecosystem, where IDEs are pretty much ubiquitous.

All in all, I don't see the link between using an IDE or not and the quality of the outcome.

That seems to be a pretty good link to me already...

I worked (briefly, fortunately) with Java for a short while a long time ago. The fact that even "small" Java projects are often ridiculously overengineered and so complex that an IDE is almost obligatory to work with the code in any meaningful way should itself be a sign of what dependence on IDEs tends to cause. The article mentions that too, and my experience agrees.

I doubt it works on Safari (it won't let me talk). If you ask why I'm on Safari, it's because I couldn't grant it microphone access on Chrome (for unknown reason).

The ingredients for fusion reactors (deuterium, tritium and helium-3) are rare, not fully reacted intermediate byproducts of the proton-proton cycle that powers the sun.

The likeliest case for a Dyson Sphere civilization would be some sort of solar powered Gray Goo von Neumann replicator.
I once got the chance to ask freeman dyson what he recommended educationally, for children, to produce more freeman dysons.

He didn’t hesitate. He said we need to teach children genetic engineering to children in such a way that they could approach it playfully. Only then would we have a chance of developing warm blooded plants which would be essential for colonizing the asteroid belt.

So, if anyone has any ideas for that…!
I remember reading that the creator of the original ping command said he was still slightly annoyed decades after that he didn’t also invent traceroute at the same time.
Except we don't live in the past decade anymore. Even though people are still sometimes reluctant to updates ("it only made my device slow!"), We made significant progress on patch distribution.

In the past a bug in the SMS stack could be mass exploited and still not getting fixed anytime soon. Not anymore. These bugs cost $10k~$100k now and once you mass-exploit it, they are gone.
Farmers have been paying seasonal farmhands by "piece rates" for centuries. It's quite popular for a huge number of newer industries like auto shops. The downside from the perspective of tech companies is that piece rate workers still have the rights and privileges of regular workers. Circumventing those rights and obligations is the actual reason for the "independent contractor" framework.
To be clear, Nix's CLI syntax is what it is because of the following requirements:

* Provide the ability to create a new package by extending an existing package definition programatically

* Provide the ability to have multiple variations of similar packages

To satisfy those requirements, you need a way to uniquely specify packages by its precise location of its definition. It does not interact well with apt's model of having a central package repository assign names for every known package.

Plenty of us know about the private Enterprise branded app stores that any company can create, they just have to have a Mobile Device Manager certificate and have bought the right type of Enterprise developer certificate.

And yet these Enterprise app stores are still a target for malware developers, because most people don’t understand what it means to install certificates, and once their certificate is installed, the rest is easy. Even the notarization is relatively easy.

Bang — you’ve got your own malware App Store, and now your grandmother can finally install her favorite recipes or game apps. And meanwhile, the malware App Store can install anything else they like on her device.

This is a real threat. It has actually happened before. And there are plenty of malware authors out there that are trying the same thing on a regular basis.

You just don’t hear about this sort of thing very often, because Apple doesn’t talk about it very often.
Unfortunately, this does not seem to be the "local file access" that Chromium offers and that Safari lacks.

With better browser support for the File System Access API, web applications that store their data in files might become a common thing.

Currently, when building a web application, you usually build some backend system that lets the user log in and then stores the data. Or you use IndexedDB and let the browser handle it. In both cases, the user does not have good access to the data.

If instead on the first run, the application asked the user "Where do you want to store the data" and the user selects a file or a directory, that puts the user in full control.

Then they later can backup the data however they like, edit it with other tools, version it etc etc.

The browser is an awesome platform. I love to write local tools in HTML. It is just so easy to tweak browser based applications to your needs. Open the html file, change a line or two, save - boom! you got what you want.
A 'character' meaning what? The first code point? The first non-combining code point? The first non-combining code point along with all associated combining code points? The first non-combining code point along with all associated combining code points modified to look like it would look in conjunction with surrounding non-combining code points along with their associated combining code points? The first displayable component of a code point? What are the following?

the second character of sœur (o or the ligature?)

the second character of حبيبي (the canonical form ب or the contextual form ﺒ ?)

the third character of есть (Cyrillic t with or without soft sign, which is always a separate code point and always displayed to the right but changes the sound?)

the first character of 실례합니다 (Korean phoneme or syllabic grapheme?)

the first character of ﷺ or ﷽ ?

The main issue isn't programming language support, it's ambiguity in the concept of "character" and conventions about how languages treat them. Imagine how the letter i would be treated if Unicode were invented by a Turk. The fundamental issue here is that human communication is deeply nuanced in a way that does not lend itself well to systematic encoding or fast/naive algorithms on that encoding. Even in the plain ASCII range it's impossible to know how to render a word like "ANSCHLUSS" in lower case (or how many 'characters' such a word would have) without knowledge of the language, country of origin, and time period in which the word was written.
It's called exercise. Plenty of people do a lot of physical exercise when they could be content to stay still, but it's good for health.

In this case, mental exercise keeps the brain healthy.
I used MSN Hotmail (the precursor to Outlook.com) back in the day. It had banner ads back then.

> let's keep HN a liberal and welcoming place also for corps/startups (but not astroturfers) where key developers, experts from non-IT, CEOs/CTOs can have a voice

I agree and I would also like to see more encouragement for solopreneurs. As financial independence through solopreneurship has a better probability of being achieved than creating an unicorn startup; especially when not having a safety-net.

So maybe less of 'Why are you making money' when an indie showcases their product, While defending bad practices of Trillion dollar mEga corps. as 'They have to make money'!

P.S. Happy birthday HN, Congratulations & thanks to P.G, Initial set of users, Current users and of course Dan.
Not from the source code, but JSXGraph (https://jsxgraph.uni-bayreuth.de/wp/index.html) is a great tool for this kind of diagrams.

Full-stack is a particular type of specialist.

A true generalist is much more than just full-stack.
> is there really any practical value in this sort of research

In many ways it is too early to do this research, so it is a kind of art (as is a lot of research, imho). As long as only a few people do it, it's cool and useful so we can be aware of our potential future.

On the other hand, since we have no credible evidence of extraterrestrials, it would be surprising to find a civilisation so advanced to build a Dyson sphere. If they can build Dyson spheres, wouldn't they already be all over the place?

Ok, I suppose I should actually go read the paper now...
my early adulthood was totally screwed because of just that. I learned some bad coping mechanisms, because nobody took what happened seriously.
> that puts the user in full control.

This is entirely contingent on the format used. Netflix or any other media streaming company would store DRM compatible formatted content locally.

I think the feature in of itself opens up interesting possibilities but not sure how it will get used.
I’m curious how much use something like this would ever get; the Origin Private File System is basically just a file system implemented atop a database: it doesn’t provide any new fundamental functionality, but can be shimmed perfectly atop IndexedDB (though performance characteristics will probably differ). When people hear “file system access”, they’re going to expect that this means you can access arbitrary files and folders on the file system, whether unbounded or within a certain scope, but the Origin Private File System is not that. There need be no correlation between the file system this API exposes and your file system. (In theory there perhaps could be, but it’s not the preferred way and there’s no obvious reason to do it that way, and the question of valid file names would be rather messy, even if the spec kinda makes a weird half-compromise for backslash in file names; and I think the stuff about atomic operations could make it difficult to do sanely, too.) It doesn’t put things in a private folder so that you could open its contents in other locally-installed apps.

So this is basically the harmless but also fairly useless part of File System Access. The only real reasons I can think of straight away for it potentially being useful are (a) if it performs better than IndexedDB, and (b) for simpler API compatibility with something using the dangerous parts of File System Access, which Chromium has implemented but which Firefox and Safari are both utterly rejecting.

I’m also a bit concerned about browsers shipping this stuff given how much flux there still is in the draft spec, which is still thoroughly in its incubation phase and hasn’t been adopted by a working group.

In the end, I can’t understand why they’d implement this part of the spec. It will get some people’s hopes up, only to dash them, since they’re not implementing the useful but dangerous part which is what people actually want.

Will there be limits to the File System Access API in terms of file size and file persistence?
It depends on how you define practical value. Immediately capitalizable? Probably not outside of Hollywood. Building a theoretical underpinning for the future of our species? I hope so.
You can list 100's of topic for which people will disagree with each other on how children should be educated. I still believe it should be in the parents corner.

That is not to say the parents should direct what the schools teach on a individual level that is however to say I believe in 2 main principles for schools. First and foremost schools should be completely transparent, all parents should have access to copy's of every lesson plan, workbook, assignment, paper, etc. Second I believe in "Backpack" school funding, meaning funding for schools is not done on a geographic area, it is done by enrollment, and parent can choose to enroll their child in the public schools, or a private school or yes even a religious school at which point that school would get the funding for that student.

Just from a visual efficiency measure, it’s a good steeping stone between discovery and actual docs, especially if the autocomplete also includes the first bit of description - most functions of an API are quite obvious, and ideally aren’t doing anything surprising in them anyways that the name + minidisc would actually lead you astray.

Of course, a stepping stone , at the end of the day you still need to understand the core model and operations — but then you’re just dealing with age-old problem of RTFM; a problem that has existed long before autocomplete’s general availability, and long after. The only real change autocomplete brings in that regard is that people might accidentally read something while scanning a manual for the API calls… but that’s really never been good enough anyways, so it’s not much of a loss
