Sounds very wishy-washy. The action verbs here are "recognize the [...] role played", "promoting the sharing of [...] solutions created/used", "promoting a fair redistribution of the value created [...]".

This stuff is so vague that I have zero idea what it's supposed to mean in practice.

The language also seems to be quite deliberately referring to stuff that's already there, and definitely not saying anything like putting more of it into place or systematically favouring open source over closed source or anything like that.

I have been using Kagi since it was introduced here on HN.

I find it absolutely great to use.

I find its results to be of much better quality than Google.

Google search shows a lot of SEOd results which are absolutely horrible in quality, filled with Adsense ads, and have Amazon affiliate links in them.

Kagi is a breath of fresh air for me.

I also use You.com sometimes. When I am exploring something for the first time, you.com is my place to go. It gives one a good lay of the land which is missing from others.

I still find Google to be the best for looking up code syntax, simple solutions and so on.

But when I am looking for something that depends on opinion, I find Kagi to show much better results and not SEO vomit. (When one wants direct facts even Bing is sufficient.)

On some days my Kagi usage surpasses my Google usage.

I agree, sorry to be tangential, but school buses even have a whole community around converting them into rvs/homes, skoolies. The advice thrown around most often within this community trends toward picking diesel over gas, because diesel ones are very reliable when maintained. I always read it's better to get a pre-2004 diesel bus, because they have simpler, more mechanical parts. Diesel engines are really hyped among skoolie enthusiasts, though of course that is not to say that in e.g. fb groups, you don't hear horror stories of people stranded with a broke-down rig, it's usually lack of maintenance though. When maintained, they do last well past when school districts retire them--maybe survivorship bias, the ones that lasted to the end were more likely to keep lasting. My boyfriend has one such bus that was made the same year he was born (1989) and it took us on a 10-state roadtrip and was our home for over a year.
No, we can't.

We can't agree on your stance, because other people have different stances. You may have some reason why you want JS and cookies disabled, but many people don't. JS has been a part of the internet for as long as I've been alive. Sure, it's being used different and sometimes needlessly as with the blog you noted, but it's here and it's not going anywhere.

If you want the web to be cookieless and JS-less, you can disable them. But the web is not cookieless and JS-less. You get the experience you want. You can't expect everyone to want that experience.

>it would force site designers to reign in the unnecessary bulk.

Many sites are already near unusable on "low-specced" hardware that is used by about 80% of the world population, but most "software engineers" (I'm using that term really loosely here) don't care. My admittedly old but maxed out T440s chokes on twitch.tv. A good chunk of the world population still uses hardware that is considerably worse. It's no wonder that some western sites have problems penetrating other markets - their competition loads in the blink of an eye on my machine, while twitch has trouble even becoming interactive within 5 seconds.

At this point I use underpowered hardware on purpose, because if my T440s can't adequately run our application or the build takes too long, then I know we have a problem.
It would be funny if some site with youtube-style recommendations got popular because that's basically what I believe google is using under the hood already and it would be so easy for them to pivot to that style and then take over all the momentum the recommendation-style site got.

All the core software and much of the tooling running cloud infrastructure is OSS. The browsers are OSS. The allowable space for proprietary software has shrunk significantly.
Random situation: I often sit with either my Macbook or iPad open while watching TV with my SO, there are a bunch of situations (skipping intro, quickly pausing, skipping forward/back) where I need to grab the remote to interact with the TV (or go through a bit of a hassle with pulling up the remote on iPad). Nothing super important but would be kind of neat to have.
If you were using it as a second screen to watch something or do some basic browsing for reference material, they are probably hoping this will address the desire to cast the screen contents from the Macbook. If you seamlessly are passing your mouse and keyboard inputs, you'll likely just have your iPad do the video streaming or browsing directly.
That was the video I watched and I just don't get what is different about polylith.

The video spends too long telling me things I already know - e.g. what are functions / objects / layers / etc.

Tell me something I don't know - such as what makes Polylith unique. The video says this is "Components". Well what's so different about those? They sound like microservices or perhaps high-level objects. Or perhaps interfaces.

Probably the hardware was already used when you got it. Stuff like SSDs tend to wear out and usually when you rent a cheap server, you'll get used hardware in the first place.

That said, their communication was bad. They should just have offered to upgrade to new hardware for a 50% price increase if the customer wants that. But I see little ill will in their behavior. Electricity prices did roughly double for them, and so must their prices.

Google does not suck. It is the best search engine by far. Nobody else can compete. Our individual experience may vary though
A nuclear power being "less safe" from an entity whose recent activity consists mostly of ignominious withdrawals from conflicts does tend to stretch credulity. Countries on Russia's borders aspire to join NATO because Russia has a habit of marching its armies into them to annex territory or back one faction or another, not the other way round.

One thing which disadvantages the West is that some of same people who rightly dismissed the "pre-emptive self defence" arguments for Western regime change in Iraq fall over themselves to argue that of all the many propaganda arguments Russia has put forward for invading Ukraine including literal statements of imperial ambition as well as "chemical weapons", "Nazis" and NATO, the self-defence arguments make sense.

Apple’s focus has been on pushing iPhone sales, however it seems now they are acknowledging that golden calf is tired and they are looking at making the ecosystem and services work more. So we’re seeing a merging of device functionality and increased interoperability.

With that in mind what uses would AR/VR offer that go beyond the usual gimmicks?
Full floating 2D displays doesn’t seem like something Apple would do. They already do really well with placing 3D models in a space and their LiDAR scanner is impressive. I’d imagine they’re going to do something that makes you need several Apple products with any AR/VR head set.

Like the Apple Watch it’ll require an iPhone to work. It will extend the display of iPads and Macs. Stuff like the Touch Bar does will be shoved off to the side so you can use your fancy display entirely for viewing your content but UI elements will be pushed to the side off screen and you can push your mouse out of the screen to interact with it.

And some Lego AR game or something.
From 2014-2017 I have participated in a large European subsidiary project [0] that focused on the major industrial challenge arising from the need to face cost efficient integration of different applications with different levels of safety and security on a single computing platform. Use of multi-core fpgas and the like in aviation, automative and medical industry is an enormous challenge. Mixed-critical, multi-core programming models would mostly make sure critical tasks would run entirely on their isolated core and registers leaving the remainder for non-critical tasks. That solved being able to buy common hardware but did not allow programs to actually benefit from multi-core boards.

It demonstrates a long-term alignment with Russian foreign policy interests. I’m not saying that her hanging out with Assad is treasonous in itself, although it certainly says a lot about her character.

Her choosing to hang out with Assad certainly adds color to her later statements, which can certainly be reasonably described as treasonous.

This sucks and it is surprising how badly they handled the situation. They should at least offer existing customers priority for contact renewals. That's customer retention 101.

Having to hike prices due to rising costs is understandable, and maybe they found it highly unlikely that low-cost clients would convert, but if you don't propose you can't retain. And more importantly the company has taken a reputation hit, very unprofessional.
Some examples would be nice

I honestly don't get the appeal of the Apple ecosystem.

Yes, some bits "just work", and yes I wish that parts of the Linux and Windows ecosystems "just worked" too.

But....

There are aspects that not only don't "just work", they are aggressively terrible. For example, I still get wildly infuriated every time I try to share my partner's MacBook screen to my Linux laptop so I can build iOS apps, while my partner is logged into the MacBook. It's staggeringly bad. If I had a few spare thousand currency, sure, I'd buy a separate MacBook and a new iPhone, but that's not an option. Remote X windowing has worked for literally decades; Android remote screen access is trivial. Apple is waaaaaay behind the curve here, and it seems deliberately so, in order to encourage sales of multiple devices.

Small organisations and individual developers make their livings from addressing these issues. Then Apple re-implements the missing functionality, sometimes aggressively shutting out the third party provider; for example, remember f.lux's experience?

https://justgetflux.com/news/2016/01/14/apple.html

But when the missing functionality is added by Apple, the fan-boiz go wild:

https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-iphone-night-shift-rev...

...including articles in the mainstream press

https://amp.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/shortcuts/2016/apr/...

I'm sure similar happens in other ecosystems, but the level of hyperbole among Apple fans and degree of seemingly-deliberate brokenness and profiteering makes Apple utterly unappealing to me.

The space programs goals is primary to further scientific research, not sure how it directly contributes to the military.

Nobody ended any peace. The fight between Putin's Russia and NATO is purely on the ideological and economic level. It was the decision of NATO to escalate it.

Ukraine was neither part of EU nor NATO. The war has nothing to do with NATO other than them supporting the other side. Were the support for Syrian rebels or the bombing of Libya military attacks on Russia? No. NATO countries have invaded plenty of countries. People just have more sympathy with Ukrainians because they are not "brown people".

You don't necessarily know if a patient has parasites or not when they present at a hospital with severe COVID. Even if just 1% of patients have parasites, then giving them a single pill of Ivermectin before commencing steroid treatment could save their life. For the other 99% of patients, it does nothing.

It's a bit like an episode of Dr House. Trying to determine an illness solely with tests is often futile or prohibitively expensive. It can also take long enough that meanwhile the patient will die. Directly treating them "just on the off chance" can actually be a better approach, but obviously this would have to be weighed up against the side-effects and risks of the treatment and drugs involved.

Ivermectin luckily is so safe that some doctors have called for giving it to every COVID patient that goes to hospital. Saving 1% of patients is... thousands of people at the scale of the pandemic.

Google works great for most daily tasks software questions, looking for a service/company etc

But when I want to do serious research on things like eczema, diet, backpain, exercise. Google absolutely fails (also Google scholar) I have to buy books, go through Reddit,listen to YouTube lectures etc that point to the correct literature and then you get to know the experts, different opinions etc.

All you find is these generic sites with basic advice which is common knowledge lik WebMD. Not bad, but they dominate the entire search.

I would think a heavy version of Google focused on in depth/experts would be great.
Full disclosure, I'm an insider in the industry. I'd like to comment on a few trends I've been seeing.

First, ECUs are now running a general purpose OS rather than a single embedded application. That means compartmentalization of functionality into separate, restartable processes (a program crash is considered a safe failure mode), which is a very good thing. Most synchronization is performed at the low level by the safety-certified OS kernel using very well-known well-understood and well-tested mechanisms, so you don't have to worry about non-experts writing the bad C code so often lambasted in religious screeds. A big advantage is that the software components can be developed, tested, and verified in isolation all using proven-in-use techniquies on a development host before ever finding their way to a target system. The tradeoff is much higher overhead, which with todays processors is effectively noise that disappears into the background.

Second, the CPUs are so fast that manufacturers have developed tickless mode in which most of the silicon gets put to sleep. ECUs these days do much much more nothing faster and in parallel. Things like bigLITTLE make it end up that only 1 32-bit core is actually doing anything almost all the time. So cheaper, less cost, but available when needed. Pretty much all of this is hidden by the OS, so don't worry about your storied ignorant C developer not understanding how to control their software.

Third, somebody not close to the silicon but close to the ledger books looks at all this glorious CPU and memory on an ECU and realizes there are unused resources being paid for and going to waste. They realize they can stick logos on their product marketing material if they start using those spare resources for AI technologies. Yes folks, some of those ECUs are starting to crunch numbers using Fortran libraries driven by Python. From a consumer point of view it's great because the software can now make up for bad hardware dynamically, adaptively, and in real time. From a functional safety engineering point of view, as long as all hazards are mitigated and all failure modes lead to a safe state, it's not a bad thing.

Yes, the silicon in control of your truck is getting bigger, wider, and faster is blooming multiple cores. The software development for it is taking advantage of 70 years of evolution to match. Sit back and enjoy the ride.

The lower bounds are based on the use of occasional time measurements. In PTP terms, the clockwork algorithm involves using a high volume (~10k/second) of peer delay requests, and discarding almost all of them. Only the ones that are deemed to be "pure" are used to adjust clocks.

By using a high volume of requests, they can actually average out a lot of the well-behaved jitter sources.
