But this explains the problem.

When there are only 2 companies, both providing a multitude of features, then the more features there are, the easier you run into the problem that the features you want are not covered by both companies.

Therefore, the features should be decoupled from the platform companies as much as possible. Features should be orthogonal to the platform.

For example, imagine you cannot buy shoes separately from your pants and your shirt. If there are only two companies making outfits, then you'd easily run into trouble finding an outfit you like.
"Some families" interesting language. In Berkeley, where I have comprehensive data on the subject, about 13000 parcels are held by family trusts, in a city with only 29000 parcels. Everybody uses them because it's the best way to scam Prop. 13.
Isn’t that the same thing that Kinesis does?
Nor can OpenBSD. The system doesn't crash if /etc/random.seed isn't writable.
Aside from perhaps using some GNUstep classes for the non-visual parts, you'd need to separate the application's logic from its OS integration and then use whatever library you want to target.

One way to go for it would be to make your app use Qt (which is also available on Linux) instead of iOS-specific functionality and then port that Qt app to Linux. But whatever you do, if your app is made for iOS (or any other specific OS), you'd need first to untangle iOS from it and then make a port.

But FWIW i think fsflover had new applications in mind instead of porting existing ones.
Much like health care, residential real estate is a market that should not exist in many ways. I respect buying and selling a house between two owners as a transaction, but without proper regulation the United States could be (in some ways already is) a bunch of empty buildings owned by proxy, with residents sleeping in the streets.

We can't keep talking about how great capitalism is when it turns most of the "lower class" population into sickly renters.
Excuses. Please understand that these are excuses. You are accepting lower quality products and accepting nothing in return, even accepting higher prices. Apple doesn't make the iOS apps that people use and love. They just provide an increasingly crappier platform to put them on.

That's what people make for Apple every single time they get burned. Apple lowers the quality of their manufacturing, people don't care. They remove features, people don't care.

The reality is, people are irrational and will stay in the pot long after the frog has jumped out. With other products, with other companies, people will absolutely not accept this kind of behavior. The nation empowered Teddy Roosevelt to bring down Standard Oil. Today's robber barons have slicker marketing campaigns and PR departments and social media managers.
Still has a yearly fee for needed features.
One of the really good things about HN is the Algolia integration so building things like a notifier relatively easy. The structure of the data means you can do a lot. The HTML of the pages is old-school enough that rewriting it with a browser plugin is straightforward too. HN is "hackable" in the classic sense of the word. You can build your own things on top of it.

It doesn't need extra features if they just read data and do things when stuff changes - you can do that yourself.
Supply and demand. Keep building. It works for Tokyo.

Kind of a major factor though.

Stytch’s API-First approach to passwordless authentication
Well reading Government reports is not a great interest of mine, particularly ones that are nearly 50 years old, I'm just skeptical that they could accurately plot the development of the technology when here we are 50 years later with fundamental Plasma Physics and Materials Science problems that need to be solved for the tech to work. I doubt that just blanket more funding would have allowed them to be solved 30 years faster.

It would be akin to AI researchers saying that if only they had more funding they could create an AGI this decade despite fundamental unknowns about how to build something like that in the first place.
Google actually offers a way to embed videos without there being cookies set. You just have to change the domain name. I think it's something like youtube-nocookies.com.
So the answer is no?
The international science fair is a good example. I grew up with a couple of people who would participate every year, and every year it was obvious from their academics and being in the same classrooms and social circles as them that they didn't come up with this stuff. Their projects were gigantic, expertly researched, and featured technology that no high school student in the pre-internet age would have been able to source or use independently. One of them had a single mother with a PhD in the field, the other had a science teacher mother and a father with an MS in biomedical engineering... in the same field.
It has to be a private vault by default, unless we have a bug in 1Password 7. There were years of internal discussions about how and where the new items should be saved.

When it comes to generated passwords, we had this implementations since 1Passwd 1.0 and it was always a bit kludgey. I believe the redesign in 1Password 8 completely solves this problem by using a special system vault to store the generated values.

I assume someone would prefer developing on whichever machine they normally use.

I have been a windows user for a long time and recently started working on a mac to write some iphone code. It is agonizing, but presumably not because there is any problem with macs, but just because the systems are different. Using the cmd key instead of the ctrl is the most obvious difficulty, but I can't say that makes macs better or worse.

One thing that really got me while using the mac is I was adding a file to my project and I double clicked on a folder to navigate into it. Coming from a pc this is what you would do. You also do that on a mac in other places. But here it inserted the folder into my project. I won't get into what happened when I deleted the folder from my project.

Using a system you are not familiar with sucks, whether it is a mac or a pc.

Other than this, is there something I don't know that makes developing on a mac so much better?

Ya I think that we'll fail to make any measurable impact on global warming in our lifetimes, because it's much easier to sabotage movements than to invest in them. So we'll inevitably reach for a solution that's a sure thing, and the only one I know of that's scalable is a 1-10 atom thick sunshield at the L1 Lagrange point. It's a problem similar in scope to a light sail, so there's no mystery to it other than trying to grow the dang thing in space.

So if Earth gets a sunshield, it's no more difficult to grow one for Venus. Then eclipsing it and getting it to room temperature would only take a matter of weeks maybe? That would reduce the atmospheric pressure too. Seems like an orders of magnitude easier problem than waiting around for Mars to warm up and pressurize. Although on that note, we could build a giant reflector at the L2 point behind Mars to have room temperature immediately there too.

Looks like a solar sail can be as light as 0.00002 kg/m2, the Earth has a cross section of about 125 million km2, or 1.25e14 m2, so that's 2.5 billion kg or 2.5 million metric tons. Of course there's always a way to make a thinner sail, and we may not need to block all of the light, so I think a million metric tons is a reasonable estimate. Sounds like a lot, but a locomotive is 1000 metric tons, so 1000 train engines or 10,000 heavy launches to save Earth doesn't seem unreasonable. Also we probably only need 1% of that area to have a measurable effect on climate, and that way we wouldn't have to see the shadow either. So we're talking 10 train engines or 100 heavy launches.

Thanks, this gives me a good explanation, just framing it as misunderstanding and that I thought my implications to get a premium on my current salary was clear to them.

You're preaching to the choir here about mainstream media being super corrupt.

Puts a lot of pressure on one or two hacker news mods to be the purveyors of neutrality for the entire media landscape if that's what's expected.

Unlike many people here, I'm not ideologically opposed to the idea of a walled-garden phone (though my preference would be to have the ability to sideload). But it kills me just how poorly Apple is behaving here. It's like they don't care at all about pissing off the developers that help make their platform attractive, and they'll belligerently go on not caring even as government agencies around the world gear up to take them to court, consequences be damned.
That's incredibly disappointing :(
I'm still annoyed I couldn't find someone I knew to give me an invite to lobste.rs 9 years ago. I remember asking former coworkers, and people at local tech meetups, and getting blank stares like I was making something up. Though I suppose that is how they managed to keep things under control

Incidentally CPUs do get too cold, not at a reasonable temperature, but sufficiently low temperatures do change the characteristics of semi conductors. Not something to worry about if you're not using liquid nitrogen (or colder).
> If someone said they came up with a spreadsheet that quantitatively proves that Homer's Odyssey is a worse piece of art than the Mona Lisa, would you go through their quantitative analysis, or simply dismiss their argument on the face of it?

Are you kidding me? I would look at the damn spreadsheet. Nothings preventing you from building extremely intesting ML to objectively quantify artwork, and if you’ve created a reliable measure to compare the two I would want to see what you’ve created.

What sort of a closed minded attitude is it to say “why would I bother looking into the facts that support a conclusion I am not willing to believe could possibly be true”

Because the only people who feel the personal need for a "free speech" platform are the ones whose views are considered odious elsewhere.

If people with non-"odious" views end up at such a platform, they will quickly notice the unusual concentration of "odious" views, and generally find it uncomfortable and leave. Thus there is a steady increase in the prevalence of "odious" views until they are near-universal on the platform.
Yeah, it's due to client side routing. The tradeoff is slightly higher JS size on the first load (but it gets cached) then when performing navigations it's only needing to fetch the data required to render the page.

The alterative is an old school style web server that returns a new HTML file and page reload on every navigation which is higher download and runtime cost (which is how the real HN does it!). No criticism here as the site definitely works well regardless.
Tech and political ideologies have collapsed, and especially in areas of interest to HN. Climate change, when a fetus is a baby, etc... these are areas where science has intersected politics before HN existed, but they also don't intersect HN regularly.

But now some of the hot topics in tech are also hot topics in politics-- privacy and mass surveillance, platform censorship, vaccinations/medicine(which were a little political, became super political), affirmitive action in the tech industry, etc...

I don't know if we'll ever go back to where we were as tech plays a larger and larger role. And if you think we're intertwined now, just wait until the metaverse!
Of course, but the government will do absolutely everything in its power to make homevoters whole, including, if they get the chance, inflating the entire economy to catch up with bloated home prices, thereby devaluing the savings of people who don't own their homes.

That's easy to fix. The feds just say "You won't get $20 billion in infrastructure grants unless you do X" and suddenly zoning reform is on the table. Like so:

No, they’re buying them up because rates are so low it costs them little to borrow/buy.
This is getting close to by idea of "Borgle = Boggle + Wordle".

Basically the idea is there is a boggle board generated and all N-letter word paths found. The paths are made available to click on (there are a few UI approaches to this). Once a path is selected you enter Wordle mode for that path. Every guess must still be a real word, but the neat part is if you even nail a single letter, it appears on the Boggle board. And that letter immediately appears as solved on any other path that overlaps it. You can jump/revisit paths at any time.

Goal is to complete the board (unsure if there will be guess limit, letters that are not on any path of course are automatically visible/correct on game start). The completion sharing will be a matrix of numbers instead of colors showing how many guesses of that space across any path were made until the first right letter was achieved. Boggle board size configurable as is the min/max word letters (5x5 w/ only 5-letter words by default).

There are some neat strategies here of path choice/switching and guessing wrong words intentionally in overlapping paths. Will dev if I ever get the time, but feel free to steal the idea and make it.
By analogy, domain squatting isn't using a domain that isn't yours, it's underutilizing a limited resource that's assigned to you.

Using IPs for internal networking doesn't necessarily mean under utilizing though; but might not be enough to justify such an assignment today.
I have a 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue and a 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. They are not quiet on the inside. Lots of air leaks and stuff. I just don't understand how people hear other loud vehicles going 70MPH or so. I have good hearing (according to my latest hearing test) and unless the loud vehicle is extremely loud (like big truck with a jake brake) then I've never hear the neighboring vehicles in any vehicle, not just the two I currently have.

Edit: If I'm able to hear them, it's immediately after they have passed me.
You can try to solve a problem on more than one front. Zoning is a huge and fractured problem that will take decades and decades to solve at scale, if it happens at all. We need to be trying more than one thing.
Slate Star Codex put it nicely
"The moral of the story is: if you’re against witch-hunts, and you promise to found your own little utopian community where witch-hunts will never happen, your new society will end up consisting of approximately three principled civil libertarians and seven zillion witches. It will be a terrible place to live even if witch-hunts are genuinely wrong."
> I question if it's really reflective of what the world is talking about.

I'm very curious what each country is talking about. I made a little script that would show me what each country's subreddit was talking about but, the fact that it is on reddit means that its already biased. Maybe something where you use the the most popular source inside a country would be a way out of the echo chamber but the work in maintaining that I imagine might be a bit much.
One thing might interest this community - the amusing amount of common actors between the Columbo and Star Trek series (and Quantum Leap, if you want to extend this).

Obviously Shatner and Nimoy, but also the lovable John Fiedler (of 12 Angry Men fame, as the possessed Mr. Hengist in TOS's "Wolf in the Fold" and a cardiologist in Columbo) and the fantastic Theodore Bikel (as the murderer in Columbo's "Bye-Bye Sky High I.Q. Murder Case", and as Worf's adoptive dad in TNG's "Family"). Ed Begley Jr, whose father was in 12 Angry Men, is in ST:VOY as Henry Starling, and in Columbo's "How to Dial a Murder" as Officer Stein. Laurence Luckinbill is Sybok (STrek V) and the victim in Columbo's "Make Me a Perfect Murder". Michael Strong: Columbo's "are you a witness to what he just did?" scene, and TOS's Dr Korby.

There are metric tons of links with minor characters, for example James Greene in the Columbo classic "Columbo Goes to the Guillotine" is also in TNG and DS9.

Dozens more are discussed here: http://pub10.bravenet.com/forum/static/show.php?usernum=8065...

There are other amusing non-Star Trek but sci-fi-related coincidences too, like Robert Culp (IMO the best Columbo villain, a first-rate actor) voicing Dr. Breen in Half-Life 2.

Obviously you could do this with absolutely any TV show, since there aren't that many actors in America, but this is a fun exercise and fans of both shows have a lot to be happy about. And if you're a fan of one, and start watching the other (I started with Columbo, possibly unlike most people here), try spotting common actors as a fun exercise.
The problem with this is that while it gives you freedom as a developer, it takes a ton of freedom away from the user who has practically zero control over where and how to use your application or even which version of your application to use (some people may prefer to stick with an older version even if they lose support or whatever because they don't like later changes - this is something people often do with native/desktop apps, but it is impossible to do with web apps) - and that is the minimum of issues, without entering into accessing data, etc.
Nah the next president will just start offering government backed 100 year mortgages with 0 down.

Really the most concerning aspect is that the cost to build new housing has drastically gone up. We are at an all time housing deficit. I don’t see how that corrects itself unless we get to the point where building a new house is cheaper than buying an existing house.
Just write the app for Linux (or even better, build a web page instead.)
And you could presumably say the same thing about any other two countries, yes?
It's weird that former Apple engineers don't explain how IDFA which is blocked by answering "ask app not to track" works. It is the only thing that's prevented by Apple, and the rest lies on the developer. Try to circumvent it, and risk ban (of course some apps are still trying, driven by their risk/reward calculations but bans aren't unheard of).

Another thing, the "ask app not to track" doesn't mean that data won't be collected. It means that this particular user must not be identifiable across different apps / web sites, even if personally identifiable data is being sent. Authors completely ignore this point.
How they get their laptop back is their problem. Just ask them.

But to answer the topic question, it seems that a recently-made-popular strategy is start on the newer job and keep the older one in low-priority mode until you get fired for low performance. Apparently it might take years depending on how the environment allows you to coast. But I wouldn't do that, and this may be illegal to do depending on your specific situation, jurisdiction and contracts.

Before classless addressing, RFC1918 set out a reserved IP space in each class. 10.0.0.0/8 was set aside in the class A range by ARIN.
I too watched Columbo, together with my mom, when I was younger, and later watched some older episodes on my own. At some point at my job I found myself "debugging" people's requests for help/support using his "one last thing" technique.

Especially if they are the type of enthusiastic, semi-sophisticated users, who try to second-guess how the application is written or why it crashed, without actually knowing anything about the code, and often make silly guesses and make suggestions which have little to do with reality.

Before I started doing that, I would often be quite rude to people and cut them off, saying things like "no, that's not how the code works, I know that for a fact because I wrote it, the bug is somewhere else entirely".

Then when I started using it instead, I would stare at them and say something like "oh, well, that's a very interesting option! Why didn't I think of that!" Then shut up for a few seconds like I'm deep in thought, then say "Oh, wait, I just thought of something. Do you mind showing me what you did on that screen again? I apologize but I have just this awful short term memory, can't remember what you wrote on that bug ticket ". Then they would indulge me, and I would say "Oh, wait, stop right there, that gave me a great idea what could have gone wrong, thank you".

And then explain them in some details what caused the bug and how to work around it.

Or I would say "thank you", get up and go after they showed me, and then pause at the door and say "oh, wait, there's this one thing I just thought about, do you mind if we try just one more thing? Sorry for taking your time" and then try the workaround, show them that it works, and explain it.

All this when I actually understood what was the problem a few seconds after they showed me the problem.

So I wasted a few more minutes being nice to this person and pretending I'm kind of dumb, but I know now they will won't be afraid to report future bugs to me or to suggest features, without fearing they will look dumb themselves.

Unfortunately I have to be in the right frame of mind to do this, and lately I've found myself slipping more and more often back to the "that's not how the code works" retorts.

It's good that this came up on NH today, it's a good reminder to try and go back to being a little more Columbo and a little less rude to people who try to be useful to me.
OK, I will.
