i have been operating keepass on my linux desktop and android for the last 3 years exclusively and before that, my laptop only.

the "sync" isn't really a problem. you are making too much out of sync. passwords don't change much. you don't have to change/edit your entries every other week.

i keep a live copy on my phone and a copy on the desktop. if i have to add an entry, i add that to the phone and use kde connect to send that file to the desktop. takes 2 seconds. when i open the desktop keepass, i am greeted with the updated file so its not a big deal.

with keepass there isn't an issue with trusting vendors. they do not have internet access so what are they going to exfiltrate?
can't say for a cookbook, but try https://www.giallozafferano.com/. Giallozafferano has essentially taken over all other italian websites for recipes, because it's clear, with pictures, and has EVERY recipe you can dream of. It also has an English language version as you can see. This said, Italians sometimes criticize it anyway, because it's not always perfectly proper, and because monopoly is never good. But Italians would criticize anything except their grandmothers when it comes to cooking, so I recommend you try it. It's generally a sufficiently good reference benchmark even for Italians and is complete.
> So back to cities. Here's my pet theory. You build more apartments, or faster trains or whatever to expand the availability and affordability of 1 be apartments within a 1 hour commute, and it will work for a while, but within a few years people chasing opportunity will have moved to the city until the rents and costs of living eventually return to previous levels.

That's still okay, though, as during the process (and even at the end point in your scenario) much better lives and opportunity have been provided to much greater numbers of people.

If people like the QoL benefits of density, we should do what we can to provide it, even if it causes the same sort of CoL squeezing down the road with whatever optimizations we can put in place. It will still benefit more people, and maybe we can come up with yet more optimizations.

Is any explanation needed beyond "You really rake in the cash with SaaS and nobody pirates it"?

It's not like devs own the companies. And even if they did SaaS is a steady paycheck and a load of way more interesting problems that devs seem to love.

Copilot is great as a 'smart auto-complete' or when you need to do pattern based drudge work... but that's not what this article is about. It's trying to sell people on copilot as a no-code tool.

The leading question is this:

>But as helpful as it is for coders, what if it enabled non-engineers to program too – by merely talking to an AI about their goals?

and it answers this in my opinion deceptively by presenting what amounts to a parlor trick. Whether copilot in general is any good or not is in my mind totally separate to this.

The big difference is that with any of the Windows toolkits, an application written on their heyday will keep working today, good luck doing the same with any Linux toolkit.

Also only Qt is comparable in the full stack experience offered by Windows frameworks (and MacOS/Android/iOS/...), with the caveat it is anyway cross platform and not Linux specific.

Speaking of oversimplifying… That comparison is like saying a friendship is just a temporary association of two chunks of matter. Technically accurate from one slice, but boy is that missing information and not descriptive of the entire context.

It sounds like you had some negative experiences. I have too. It’s important not to let them colour your future. Damn them. They are not the whole of possibility. Humans aren’t all scum for the existence of thieves, after all. There’s more out there.

Internal political fights between DevDiv and WinDev.

If you are aware that DevDiv controls managed languages, and WinDev Windows/C++, it becomes quite clear why the back and forth between those UI frameworks, given who happens to be on top on a specific time.

And now there is Azure + WebUIs to add up to those resource fighting, oh well.

Thanks for the reply -- seems there's some misunderstandings. Details below.

> people who can't swallow the cost will pour in their last savings for a few more hours of warmth

Where I live, people aren't that short sighted. They bought all the toilet paper, planning months ahead.

> Those who can't will start rioting,

Eh, no. Not when they know the higher prices are for saving people in Ukraine.

But if they didn't know why, then, yes maybe.

> It's hard to tell your child "put on a jacket, dad can't pay to keep you warm" when little Jimmy next door goes to a Safari

It's easy. The parents tell the kids: "we're doing this, to save the lives of people in Ukraine, who are hiding in basements without food and water. This is how we build a society -- taking care of each other and others, as best we can."

If the politicians make it clear that it's for stopping the war, then, there'd be some social pressure for saving energy.

> > could go by bus, subway, ride share, so less oil and gas needed for transportation.

> In practice, many people just can't do that.

Seems I wasn't detailed enough.

There would be subsidies for people on the countryside, who needed their cars (no buses or subways nearby). And for farmers and public transport, and other for society important things, like, like you mentioned, electricians. And ambulances, plumbers, some others.

But most people aren't farmers or electricians.

> Many low earning workers will have to make a choice between going to work, and going to unemployment.

I wonder where you live. If it's in the US? In Europe, there are more buses and subways, and fewer people have cars.

> would just increase the disparity between the upper and lower class

Yes a bit. You could say that about the covid restrictions as well -- hit poor restaurant workers.

Seems like insignificant, a luxury problem, __compared to__ tens of thousands dying in the war.
> Quite simple: a person with XX chromosomes. Or are people starting to deny biology now?

This is a really common response, and I do honestly empathise with it because for most people (me included most of the time) in everyday life there's not really any need to think about it too deeply. Like you said in another comment "A child can tell you what a man and woman are."

But can they? Or can they just point at people and guess, with about the same accuracy as you or me? They probably can't _actually_ tell you what a man and woman _are_ in any useful way any more than most grown-ups.

Like you agreed in that other comment too, there are some "extremely extremely rare" cases where a child would probably say they're a man or woman but their chromosones aren't what you'd expect.

That highlights that chromosones aren't really a deciding factor though right? The child isn't using chromosones when they decide, and I've never been asked about my chromosones, or heard of anyone else being asked about theirs outside of a hospital.

So to answer your question, I don't think anyone is denying biology, it's just that biology isn't as relevant as it might seem at first thought.
Not logically, no. But it is implied because you actually get both such experiences on-demand in VS Code/vim/emacs. It's a fascinating experience and you find yourself writing more descriptive function names and variable names rather than using handwritten instructions. You quickly realize that comments are just one of many prompt engineering tricks available once you have access to this - and simply generating snippets as the linked article does is quite restricting sometimes.

Basically, the concern that e.g. comment length gets too long is a weird one, because you don't tend to actually use copilot that way if you have access to it through tab-complete.

Perhaps what I really mean is - people should try using copilot for an actual coding project. Its benefits aren't really obvious in contrived examples.
I fail to see any relevant innovation happen in the current fragmentation of giant silos.
I also quite enjoy Edwin Sarkissian's "shoot at large/heavy/explosive stuff with very high caliber out in the desert" videos, although it's quite a bit safer than the stuff already mentioned upthread due to his simply being sufficiently far away from the impact/explosion.

Fascinating in the same way as the classic/famous Hydraulic Press Channel.
> Aren't patents public?

Yes. Patent literally means the opposite of latent (hidden).
Definitely. Kodak did a hell of a lot of research. however let me nit a little about your statement. you make it sound like they had patents from the 60's that others wanted. patents expire after 20 years, anything from the 60's would be public domain at this point.

But yeah all them jucy patents from the 90's were extremely desirable.
Easier to invest into something if you only have a short car drive to the company you're investing in; additionally everything cross-border involves a lot more effort with coordinating taxes.

In any case at least YC does invest into European companies [1] - the key thing is you have to get far enough to have a meaningful product that VC funds can invest in, and unlike the US we don't have a lot of billionaire former founders who go around throwing a couple thousand dollars left and right for promising ideas they hear in an elevator.

A declaration can be true or false or neither, but not both true and false. Atheists could be right or they could be wrong. Same with deists.

Agnostics can not be wrong. This elevates their position over any that could be wrong.
Wikipedia just gets it right as usual.

Reddit and HN also kill long-term discussions. When a submission is 1 day old, it dies. If you want to have a conversation about a timeless topic Reddit and HN are fairly bad.

With forums you sometimes have threads of over 100 pages that started in 2015 or older where people are still talking about the same thing and newcomers can diagonally read through the pages and see the progress of something.
Minorities still matter even if there aren't many of them. At what boundary does something being rare enough mean it's ok to not consider it a seperate form of sex?

Is it 10% of the population, 5%, or 0.5%? Why?
Those people still have hands.
That must be so frustrating for those women who now see that they have no chance due to genetics. I'm surprised that having male bone density isn't considered "doping" if you compete as a female.

No, that's wrong. There are several reasons why a negative result doesn't necessarily disprove a theory or a hypothesis: measurement uncertainties/noise, experimental errors, software bugs, bit flips, ...
Digital Markets Act- [Status]: "Awaiting Parliament's position in 1st reading"

https://oeil.secure.europarl.europa.eu/oeil/popups/ficheproc...

"The Digital Markets Act: ensuring fair and open digital markets"

https://ec.europa.eu/info/strategy/priorities-2019-2024/euro...

From here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30777016

"...The legislation is now expected to target companies that have a market capitalisation of at least €75bn and run one core online “platform” service such as a social network or web browser, according to two people directly involved in the deal..." "...To qualify as a “gatekeeper” — the powerful internet groups that are the focus of the new law — a company will also have to have at least 45,000 active users, the same people said..."

"...Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple and Microsoft all meet this standard, but it is likely to also include far more groups than previously thought such as accommodations site Booking.com and ecommerce group Alibaba..."

----------------------------------------

Examples of the “do’s” - Gatekeeper platforms will have to:

- Allow third parties to inter-operate with the gatekeeper’s own services in certain specific situations

- Allow their business users to access the data that they - generate in their use of the gatekeeper’s platform

- Provide companies advertising on their platform with the tools and information necessary for advertisers and publishers to carry out their own independent verification of their advertisements hosted by the gatekeeper

- Allow their business users to promote their offer and conclude contracts with their customers outside the gatekeeper’s platform

Example of the “don’ts” - Gatekeeper platforms may no longer:

- Don't treat services and products offered by the gatekeeper itself more favourably in ranking than similar services or products offered by third parties on the gatekeeper's platform

- Don't prevent consumers from linking up to businesses outside their platforms

- Don't prevent users from un-installing any pre-installed software or app if they wish so

A high level overview may be possible, but any amount of actionable detail is impossible for laymen and lawyers alike. The GDPR is intentionally vague; there are entire academic papers from respected researches dedicated to trying to parse individual sentences from the document. See e.g. Cohen and Nissim's 33 page article on intepreting the sentence

> To determine whether a natural person is identifiable account should be taken of all the means reasonably likely to be used, such as singling out, either by the controller or by another person to identify the natural person directly or indirectly.

Turns out writing vague laws lets you turn entities you don't like into cash cows.
Travel photos was a leisure of mine. I spent many hours browsing photos, blogs, and at the time flickr. I never knew what I might do with some of my photos other than "sharing them". I want to do something more with them, but not sure what.

After a few years since the advent of social networks and smart phones, digital cameras, everyone is taking a lot of pictures.

I think photo journals are great, but wanting something more to share, but not sure what. Any photographers here feeling the same?
Agree, and to add to that:

> provide government help to the competition

This is just paying for CR with extra steps.

> remove whatever government policies are giving them an advantage

At least we can agree on something :)

Debugging Deadlocks (In Ruby on Rails)
As the saying goes: keep an open mind, but not so open that your brain falls out.

The more that things are discussed, analysed, out-analysed, over-analysed, the more they devolve into a cacophony of views. Particularly with hot-button topics such as this, there are many people pushing an agenda rather than trying to arrive at the truth. We are living in an age of moral relativism with the bleating of a thousand views, but no guiding principals to sort the wheat from the chaff. In the end, all we can do is throw our hands up and declare all views are right, and all views are wrong.
This is already a pattern in HN discussions: legislation is proposed, news outlets vaguely summarize it, the HN crowd interprets the summary in absurdly maximalist way without bothering to read the spirit and letter of the law; outrage ensues. This is coupled with an "I-know-better" condescension towards authorities, reinforced by a weird ideology that code is above law

The legislation, at least the one coming from Brussels, is nearly always reasonable in scope, extent, impacts, penalties, and tends to strike a fair balance between specificity and vagueness as to allow the courts for some wiggle room for interpretation

As an example, with interoperability, the final legislation might stipulate something similar to this:

* once a software service reaches sufficient market size

* the core functionality of the service must be exposed for interoperability

* any breaking changes to core functionality must allow for sufficient period of backwards-compatibility and deprecation warnings. Exceptions for security breaches or other emergencies

So, for Youtube, this would mean logging in, viewing videos and history. It doesn't mean that every single feature of every single web site must be publicly exposed and be backwards-compatible for eternity

Thanks for clarifying.

>Included in the rules' scope will be platforms with a market capitalization of €75 billion or turnover in the European Economic Area equal to or above €7.5 billion

So the rules are meant to target only the TOP part of the Tech Sector. Not the Whole Tech Sector.
There could be backfires on everyone though.

I do feel though that the Apple/Facebook/Microsoft/Google/Amazon are innovating less and less and are going into cash squeeze mode.
There has been a lot of talk on Hacker News on how Google search quality is decreasing.

All the privacy laws containing Facebook push them to bet on something new Meta/Oculus.
So I think here the effort is to allow smaller tech to thrive and grow.
I didn't downvote but I thought it was a weak comment: it's a generally valid perspective but doesn't seem tailored to the actual news, which is mostly tailored to large capitalisation/turnover companies.

The general pro-vs-anti regulation dimension of the argument over tech policy seems to lack the necessary nuance if it doesn't ask about antitrust. The lack of antitrust regulation in the US has meant that the SV pipeline which fifteen years ago supported a diverse tech landscape is at risk of degenerating into one that only aims to produce targets for monopolists to buyout. It's a possible future of your "1st model" I'd rather we were more worried about.

I agree that UBI would be better than minimum wages. Until we have UBI though (and it does not look like that it will be a reality anytime soon if only because those with wealth really don't like wealth redistribution schemes) minimum wage is the next best thing we have.
In my case, it hooks into my editor or IDE. E.g. I don't need to have a "--watch" feature in my test-suite, because my Editor/IDE can fire the tests just fine.

Same for (re-)starting webservices and such. And when not available or applicable in my editor, GNUtools, bash and unix offer plenty of tools to easily do this for me. E.g. https://linux.die.net/man/1/inotifywait to fire a command (e.g. restart a service) on changing files.

I presumed these `--watch` where there to solve the slow-booting issues only (like in Rails) but maybe they are there because someone didn't know their OS and DE could do it for them already and decided to build it into the suite or tool instead of using existing tooling?

Conflating genetic sex, with cultural identity, is the mistake being made here. One doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the other.

> Sadly, open standards also slow down the development of new features, as everybody needs to be "on board" for new features to roll out. Take email (SMTP, IMAP, etc) as an example, where no major progress has been made in 25+ years, despite the platform being hopelessly insecure.

A more successful example of open standards would be the various standards that browsers use. Would you say that browser innovation has slowed down? The model adopted there is less "Wait for everyone to adopt this new standard we wrote" and more "If you have a feature you found many people are using, suggest it as a standard and we'll get all browsers to implement it".

This model could be replicated to messaging solutions as well, without slowing down any innovation as companies can add new features, as long as they get standardized over time.
I'm not sure how to put that in words, but I feel that we are loosing the ability to accept and interact with people who have a slightly different worldview. I am totally with you in your view on the military. In my country there used to be a mandatory military service or alternatively a longer civilian service; I choose the latter

However, I think that just because a person holds a different view on things we should accept that and not disregard other things this person does based on a diverging worldview. This tolerance can of course have boundaries, but these boundaries should be reasonably broad.

I totally agree, the Uranium-Plutonium was always gone be the first one you develop.

So it made sense to make the first fission reactors like that.

The big mistake of the nuclear age, in my opinion was the adoption of water cooled reactors for civilian nuclear power. They simply make no sense. It makes sense for the Navy, and the navy had the money to develop them.

Once that was done the technology was just scaled to a crazy degree for commercial, scale was needed to make it commercial, but result in plants so big that the total number of plants was gone be really small.

They could have developed a molten salt cooled reactor as an alternative. You wouldn't even need to go to a fully molten salt fueled reactor.
