Hi there, I'm the lang designer and implementor here.

That would violate a core goal of the feature which is that the content itself doesn't need escaping. This sort of approach would require all users to have tooling that would make that pleasant, instead of providing a feature that was easy to use across any editor.

Thanks!
Personally I'd prefer if Zigbee just took over everything, then everything would be interoperable and we would avoid being in yet another dystopian hellscape.
I think this is a really strong second-order point, in that Reddit is vulnerable to comments gamification in the same way Google was to SEO gamification, which sort of defeats the point of this whole enterprise.
The Toshiba HX-10 MSX came with 2 plugs and a screwdriver. This was considered important enough to include a picture on the box, never mind the manual.

When I first started using linux I was a 'tinkerer' on slackware, now over 20 years later I just want a *nix like system that works out of the box, is well supported, and let's me get on with things. I think ubuntu / mint LTS neatly fits this usecase but I'm open to other distributions that come close
Well, if one's using a Mac and iCloud one already trusts Apple. so no additional trust needed to use iCloud Keychain I guess.
We split our codebase down the middle
Because they are buying up stocks of that limited housing and holding onto it for rental income and capital gains. Previously, that had been off-limits as part of a generational wealth building process for regular families. Now more houses will be rentals and that money will compound capital for investors. By definition that further concentrates wealth.

We need more low cost apartments and condominiums that are close to jobs. Low wage workers are being expelled from urban areas because they cannot pay rent, and are forced between living in slum like urban conditions or paying high costs to commute from distant affordable areas. Corporate ownership of housing won't solve their issues, solve zoning issues, or increase housing starts.

edit: "off-limits" to the extent homebuilders could make a profit and lenders could make a profit, but not excessively.

The point is, why do you believe it's true?

I really don't like these websites and I smash that back button as soon as I realize I've landed on one.

That said I'm amazed they are still showing up at the top of google search. My understanding was that that kind of behavior (which I think at least some other people do too) combined with the fact that they are just copying another much higher page ranked website would mean that they are highly unlikely to rank above the relevant stack overflow article that they are duping. So what is happening here?
But people don't have to give up single family homes to create density -- we just need to build more of everything else, wherever we can, to increase housing.

No one is coming for existing single-family homes -- they can peacefully co-exist alongside properties that house 5x the amount of people.
I would like to believe this is true, because it's where I want to be in 10 years. I would love nothing more than to sell my house in the city and build a custom house in the country, especially since you can get most luxuries these days even if you're in the middle of nowhere.

There have been big improvements in the following areas, and I'm excited to see them develop further:

1) Solar power and battery technology

2) Water filtering technology

3) Satellite internet

4) Geothermal heating /cooling

5) Insulation

I believe further improvements in these areas will drastically decrease people's reluctance to move out to the country.
HackerNews loves to criticize the cloud. It always reminds me of this infamous Dropbox comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224

The cloud abstracts SO MUCH complexity from the user. The fact that people are then gleefully taking these "simple" services and overloading them with way too much data, and way too much complexity on top is not a failure of the underlying primitives, but a success.

Without these cloud primitives, the people footgunning themselves with massive bills would just not have a working solution AT ALL.
Hi there! I'm one of the C# language designers. I'm working on a proposal for that right now: https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/issues/5354

Thanks!
Silberschatz’s Database System Concepts is a good starting point
The default is not, as explained in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html. But we turn them on whenever we see a case that isn't abusive. I don't know of a way to automate that.
That's fair, but it would seem that the entire set of problems related to Boot Camp have since gone away over time, and Apple's brand has been no worse for wear. (Though I'm not even sure how widespread Windows on Mac use is these days, and the Apple Silicon licensing issues would seem to pose a threat to that continued use. Yet I haven't seen any urgent fears about that lack of support.)

At some point you're just going to have to expect users to grow and learn alongside the platform.

Edit: I should also note that Apple is perfectly fine with taking credit, as product vendor, for content that they are hosting on one of their apps, but not actually producing:

2nd Edit:

> No amount of disclaimers, not taking responsibility or sign tapping

I've also wondered about that. Apple is a master of UX patterns. The whole green vs. blue message bubbles alone has become a social/cultural signifier. Let's say the UX was similarly tweaked if a user had sideloading enabled, maybe an unsightly header. If there were similar color filters or distinguishing UI that specified installed apps as not from the App Store. Wouldn't that be enough to create user behavior to distinguish between "official" App Store apps and sideloaded ones? Emergent behavior will arise from simple prodding. The green/blue division is real.
There was already a Squardle: https://fubargames.se/squardle/
I don't understand why was the next version of IP not just identical to IPv4 but with more bits in address space? Were they trying to do too many things at once in the 90's?
Tim Cook's been at Apple since 1998. Apple's near-death was in 1997. Tim's overseen basically the entire rise from bottom to top. Craig Federighi joined in 1996, was there for the bottom of the barrel, left for a time but then returned. But yes, Jobs essentially died in the meantime of misinformation/baseless-beliefs, and Jony Ive has moved on (but he was there since 1992 up until recently). Phil Schiller's been at Apple since, wow, 1987, and Eddy Cue since 1989.

So yeah, I'd say there's quite a few long-time Apple execs who have been there through the thick and the thin. More power to them. Know who else has stuck with them even longer than them? Me. Been an Apple guy since I was 12 in December 1984, when my otherwise-frugal fam got the Macintosh 128k. ;) In 1997 I was doing part-time work as a mainly-Mac computer consultant on the side (while serving in the USAF) and things were DIRE for any Apple believer. But anyway, bygone days.

Wouldn't the obvious fix be elimination of 1031b exchange, capital gains on all house appreciation, and only allowing 1 active federally backed mortgage at a time (with some consideration for allowing a purchase of a new place & selling the old place).
An interesting resource.

Just this past day, I prototyped a Skip List backing a sorted key/value store, and it was super simple to do so (as compared to AVL / Red Black).

B-Trees are notorious for their complexity, and so SingleStore (memSQL) reasoned that their move to use Skip Lists to back their tables was justified: https://archive.is/Qhpgn

It would be interesting to see the author attempt faster Skip Lists, as their expertise in this topic seems deep enough.

Hi there! I'm the lang designer and i wrote up that spec. Could you clarify what you didn't understand about the indentation examples? I can work on clarifying them. Thanks!
Ha. It's a trick to point out that there are well-known, easy-to-understand, rigorous models to measure this kind of this, which the author has declined to use?

Why bother with spreadsheets at all then? If the author is going to do a bunch of arithmetic to convince us that some conclusion is correct, shouldn't we ask that he actually perform relevant and useful arithmetic?

Another downside of Mars is its having relatively less sunlight. You'll need quite significantly more solar panels to harvest enough power.

Even if Mars has enough uranium and thorium, it'll be quite a long time before mining and enriching it would be locally possible so as to power a nuclear reactor. Local production of solar panels looks a bit more feasible.

"threads" is a simple notification system, imo. That's how I follow up on discussions. It also naturally ages my attention on topics. I'm not going to be responding to three day old discussions that I've chosen in one way or another to move on from.
Why not pay thousands of dollars to let someone else live in your house for free? Is that a serious question?

The idea of rent-free occupancy wasn't even a thing two years ago. It's just sellers taking advantage of the current market where a lot of the buyers have no intention of living in the house and so a few months of rent-free occupancy make absolutely no difference as long as they get to buy the house.
If my previous town home had 1 more bedroom I would have stayed there and not moved.

The shared green space / yard is much larger than the one I have in the house I bought. Having an HOA take care of all maintenance and yard work is amazing.

At their best, condos and townhomes can be better than single family houses, but sadly most development isn't "at its best".

I’m on a phone with a small screen (iPhone SE), just copy-pasted the first YT link that google gave me. You can search for the name of the spokesperson (Ned Price) and that of the journalist (Matt Lee) and (hopefully) you’ll get the same video from other, non-Russian, sources.
Literally the opposite is true. Inbox had a huge team (bigger than Gmail) and while it was loved a lot by some, it never gained much traction among the regular Gmail users, and it'd have been impossible to migrate the enormous Gmail customer base over.
Expect "Please enable internet access to use this app" popup messages in this case. A lot of apps already do this with camera/photos access.
Great, I will try that soon. These websites are infuriating
> Even early champions of the change are going to hate it when their neighbor's houses get torn down so that a casino or something can be built in their place.

Even the strongest critics of the status quo don't think we should eliminate all zoning, so that you'd be able to put a casino on a residential street. What we believe is that you should able to build more residences (and maybe a corner store) on residential streets.
How long do you think until we can set up a base on Mars? Let alone other planets in the Solar system? 50 years, 100 years at the very least. If we don’t get started now, when will be the right time?

We flew to the Moon 50 years ago, logically there would have been human on Mars by now. That didn’t happen, so the next best time is as soon as possible. Like now.

As for limited resources, how much money do you think we spend for space exploration? We waste a lot more money and resource for other things. We should cut down those instead. Let’s take a trivial example. Do you think gaming is a waste of resource? Why don’t we cut down gaming?
Fun isn't a well defined, well understood thing. There's no quick and easy way to know if something will make the game more fun or not, you often have to guess and just try it out in a prototype. Fun is also subjective, so fun for who?

In the example given, adding something to multiplayer isn't more fun for people who don't play multiplayer, but it may well be for those that do and since they're the focus, the feature gets added. So "prioritize multiplayer" is a useful razor because you can act on it: does it add to multiplayer? yes, it gets kept, no it gets cut. Its actionable. Is it fun? Who knows, you gotta test it out first.
Unfortunately there is no other way to signal trash submissions. "Not upvoting" is not really a sufficient signal when enough people get baited by the headline.
Aurora isn’t a reimplementation anyway, it’s a fork with the storage layer replaced.

If the client for a cloud password manager is open-source, I'm inclined to trust it about as much as I would a non-cloud open-source password manager.
Missing from the title is:

> Specific to dev websites like StackOverflow or GitHub.

Before I noticed that, I had searched for pinterest and found nothing. Even marking the HN title with "dev" would be good.

If this were my list I'd add w3schools because to me, it's low quality, especially compared to mozilla.
I'm not sure you understand what I meant by someone offering $100k+ over ask. In the current market properties generally get listed and then are under contract in under 72 hours, which means in the market you're describing in GTA this would be like someone listening a property for $1.5M, expecting it to increase in value by (let's be generous) $10k in the 72 hours it takes to sell, and the bidders offer $1.7-$1.8M for that property. It's hard to express how much importance is also being put on these offers having NO clauses and being all-cash. It's just a straight, NSA cash offer, which is something investors can do with hedge fund / foreign money laundering capital, that someone who actually has to live in the place cannot. Personally, I will NEVER waive an inspection because I don't want my family's health put at risk.
Why do you trust any software running on your computer? Your password manager is no more likely to have a malicious backdoor than any other program.
I use 1password7 in a mode where I have to manually sync my vault. I've used other tools to prevent 1password from initiating any network connectivity at all.
Zoning is an issue but there's also the onerous costs to building something today even when you do have the zoning to add capacity to a given lot. For example, you might notice every apartment you see has a balcony. That's because code dictates balconies for every living unit, meaning the build just got that much more expensive per unit just because some people on city council 50 years ago thought apartments with balconies were more seemly or something. There's also long review periods. It's typical even in growing urban areas to see lots bought for development, raised, then seemingly left to sit vacant for years sometimes even with earth-moving equipment or cranes laying idle, biding time, while the permits cycle through the purgatory that is the building office in city hall.

This is all the result of corruption. City councilmembers in cities across this country found themselves in the position of kingmaker. Decades of entrenchment of the political class saw this role refined, distilled, and now it's practically impossible to remove the layers and layers of ossified process that has corrupted anything we do. This is why housing is not being built, why construction costs on projects are so high, why timetables of doing anything at all are decades out, and why the FBI indicts major local politicians for corruption every year. Decades and decades of systemic corruption that has not ever been rooted out has led us to this current broken state.
I feel like the declarations for what comes with the home are going to start to get longer. The big ticket items used to just be fridge/stove/etc. but I wonder if people will start making sure they declare (or explicitly exclude) other things when selling a house.

I moved in to a house with a Nest and it wasn't too difficult to set up again after doing the hard reset. Would've been much more awkward if I moved and there was just no thermostat...
kubeadm is so much easier than the hard way if you are doing this for the first time.
> The equation system to be solved is rather huge (~20 megabytes when shown as ASCII text), therefore it is logical to assume the NSA required more efficient techniques to break it in the 1980s.

I would assume they're far more capable of building custom hardware to accomplish these attacks than needing to do all of them in software, especially in the 1980s.
For sure this is good feedback! We've planned a feature for explicit user consent at the first interaction, so that our customers who don't already have good privacy practices in place will use our one-click solution.

You can also get them that look exactly like a regular one, just with a mains cable coming out too - add any HA-supported relay (or interface to a relay). I've been meaning to do that for some time; I'd prefer that to integrated temperature sensing & controls on every radiator personally.
thank you! may i return the compliments? i love playing on cryptohack.org so many fun and educational challenges! kudos!
But they supplied source code to other companies: https://web.archive.org/web/20081216125724/http://www.micros... (this is suspected to be how the leak was started in the first place).
Congrats on the launch.

Note that higher response rates don't always translate to better data. As you make the survey experience more intrusive you incentivize certain users to provide junk answers simply to remove the barrier. Just something to consider... especially if you decide to scale to enterprise.
One would imagine so, wouldn't they!
Humble Chronicles: Decomposition

Don't necessarily ascribe that to malice. What hasn't been hacked, in terms of websites, auth schemes, web browsers? Nothing! Was that all intentional- the answer is no.
good idea. that's precisely the stuff I'm coming to hacker news for.
Haha yeah, I was reluctant just because I don't personally know much of that particular history and it was hard to imagine that the Japanese intended to commit genocide against all of China, but I agree that genocide is fair classification of their actions.
Yeah, much of reddit's content is repetitive, even so much that commenters will complain about "reposts".

If reddit ever built a search engine, it would need to build a graph that would cluster all these repetitive posts. Users would then be able to easily find a previous post before they went on to create their own repost.

This would lead to less posts and less avenues for other users to engage, which is counter to Reddit's own model and probably why Reddit doesn't want a search engine that works.
I'm in the same boat. I used to spent a ton of time in college tinkering with Slackware on my Thinkpad x200s

Now if I wanted linux, I would just use Linux Mint to have a working, efficient laptop.
Ask HN: Do you still use Exposure Notifications?
When checking my battery stats, I noticed that Exposure Notifications was around 5% of my recent battery usage. Although this isn't a lot, it seems like it's for a completely useless feature. Is anyone else still using this, or are there any reasons I shouldn't deactivate it?
I'm building an inbox for my domains but want to share a cool little feature
It also seems like it would severely lower the value for any buyer who is not interested in all that stuff?
It sounds as if you are suggesting a change with no mechanism to mitigate the adverse effects of that change and no supporting evidence for the proposed benefit of the change.

Decisions made based on "We have to do something and this is something" has never worked out really well for society.
I'll put in my request for https://nestjs.com/, "an application architecture out of the box".
Curious what neighborhood you ended up in. The "relatively speaking" part is huge in a city where a mile can make the difference between "reasonably decent and can still walk to things sometimes" and "might as well have bought in the county if I have to drive everywhere".

And I wasn't just looking in the heart of gentrified neighborhoods either (didn't even bother with Canton/Fells/Hampden/Fed Hill/etc). I was shopping for over a year back in 2017, and even when I found a place in need of some work, a little ways out past the recent renovated flips and dual-income-large-dog-owners, I'd still get beaten by cash offers, even if I put in my offer the day it went on the market.

Those "decent spot, but haven't been updated in a while" places are prime picking for flippers and rental property owners, whereas in the past those were how you got a deal and "bought up" into a halfway decent area without mortgaging your life away.
This is really neat. That's all I wanted to say. Thank you for building it.
I'd expect a lot of this depends on where you are. Some places it won't matter a whole lot what happens with Covid/rates.

Friends in the DC region aren't worried as this has been an ongoing trend for quite a long time (they have enough equity that a dip won't matter much). Friends in Southern California would probably say the same thing. But in Phoenix, I already hear some questions as to whether this will come tumbling down in a year or two.

Myself, bought a place (not a city and not quite the 'burbs) last year and I'm still curious about my local market so I still constantly check the real estate sites/apps just to see how things are moving in my area. Would suspect I'm not alone in doing this.
Isn't that kind of like penalizing your regular - repeat customers?
> This really isn't bad, consider Toronto, Canada where house that's over 100 years old (tear downs) cost well over 1 million and increase in value by over $2000 a week, yeah you heard that right.

How much of that is completely self-imposed with out of control immigration quotas and a lax policy on foreing money laundering? [0]

You sound like an ex-MKUltra subject.

Anyway, it should be clear to anyone reading that you are committing a number of informal fallacies. You can be confident that the CIA is conducting secret conspiracies without knowing what they are. You can also speculate what they are by observing the CIA's behavior and observing the world. Just because there isn't proven public knowledge doesn't mean the secret thing is not actually happening.
