>If you're claiming that a government is abusing its power because it froze some funds, and it turns out it was done according to law, then the accusation is unsubstantiated. Maybe it was abusing its power, but we haven't been shown any evidence. And the burden of proof is on you to show that it was an abuse of power.

This is kind of the argument that Gerald Butts made. That technically parliament approved this misuse of power. In a way you are right. Here's the problem.

The Canadian media represented the protest as a bunch of nazis and maga military occupying ottawa and loooking to over throw the government.

The NYTimes thought it was the best story ever. They put boots on the ground and said... wait we don't really agree with the goal of the protest but it's a legitimate protest. That using force to end the protest would be wrong. That in a democracy protests are going to be annoying but these must be left to exist.

They are right. There can never be an exception to the charter right of peaceful protest. Right now, what the conservatives in Canada have been told is that they do not have the right to protest. They will simply declare another national emergency, seize bank accounts, and arrest them on 'mischief' charges.

So now what happens? The conservatives cant peacefully protest... media is smearing them to propaganda levels.

You can still do roaming protests where you keep moving making stopping the protest difficult to do. I suspect these kinds of protests will get tiresome.

Eventually you just say, ok, peaceful isn't allowed. Other than peaceful is our new option.

You're wrong TomSwirly, they did, and unless you're Canadian familiar with the situation (I assume you're not), you should really be more careful about untruths. In your case I assume it comes from a place of ignorance, not malice, but it's tough to be certain.
IMVHO you should not look at "alternatives" in the sense of "substitute a WebApp with another" but in workflow terms:

- emails? They are normally valuable tool and personal stuff, they must not be outside your control as much as possible so GMail or Proton change nothing if you use them with their webmail. Just buy a domain, choose a hosted mail service, just because host one yourself is not that easy these days, sync or better grab your remote inbox to a homeserver and use your mail locally in your desktop. The local part means sync against your server the entire maildir, use a local MUA, with good search, tagging etc capabilities, my personal choice is notmuch, to sync mail muchsync, to grab mail fetchmail+MailDrop (but you might like OfflineIMAP or MBSync). Webmail served by your homeserver (i.e. MailPie or Modoboa or even the simple RoundCube) as a last resort if you aren't at your desktop;

- calendar/agenda? Similarly, personally I use org-mode, far more powerful than modern calendar, but again you might prefer different things, thou local and synced not centrally served.

- Drive? To share files there are various options from classic WebDAV to third party services no reason to be tied to one in particular if that's not yours, the rest of Drive is not really a thing IMVHO

- search? Just use Google Search is not more evil than any other player, there is no real open choice there, YaCy while have a public distributed network count just too few participants to be an alternative and the web is the web, you can't run your own.

- Maps? Again not much real alternatives, a PND is good enough for car navigation, for the rest there are very few other maps services but none as powerful as Maps just due to the scale. OSM is hyper-good in limited areas, very lacking elsewhere so not a real option.

- notes? The best I know are again Emacs/org-mode/org-roam etc combo, TiddlyWiki with a daemon to serve it might be another option, Zim another more limited but still light and classic for certain users.

Looking for alternatives in terms of substituting a player with another is a game loosed from start and does not solve anything: companies are not "good" or "evil" they just follow their interest, some might be less friendly then others, but interests in the game remain the same.
> Sure, this proposal allows applications to know how many bits they can work with

That is entirely orthogonal to this "upper bits ignore" feature. Ideally, a process would be able to set any reasonable amount of upper bits as "reserved for tagging", and the system allocator and kernel would then simply not require it to work with user virtual addresses that involve those upper bits. But upper bits can't simply be "ignored" if an app is to be forward-compatible; they still need to be canonicalized whenever external code is called.
I have also noticed that anyone who says they didn’t enjoy the game just gets ridiculed and told they just suck at playing games.

I tried elden ring for 3 hours and hardly worked out what I was meant to be doing. Basically no guidance, UI didn’t really explain anything, etc. Went back to playing Skyrim.
Sure, that doesn't contradict what I said. They have been around for years, and they are very expensive and almost all systems do not use them.
Why would you be writing C papers though? Either the tasks are badly designed, in a way that you can't properly solve them with what you have been thought so far... or you have all the possibility to write As in the beginning, even if you don't have prior knowledge.
By the way, I'd love to see a reference implementation of a web browser in a pure functional language like Haskell (it doesn't need to be fast, just correct). I actually have the opinion that the W3C should provide such a reference implementation.
And on the other hand, I’ve been asked “why did you do it if you knew it was wrong?”. I always voice my reasoning about why something is wrong and it would be better for the team to not do it, or do something else. Just following like a sheep doesn’t help the team overall.
Here's a citation for a drug Shulgin is famous for:

> MDMA provides an immediate enjoyable feeling by stimulating the release of neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and serotonin in the brain. Unfortunately, abnormal regulation of the brain neurotransmitters, as well as the increased oxidative stress causes damage to the brain neurons after the MDMA exposure.

1. Hives rent for $40-$200 per month.

2. A well maintained hive can easily double in size over a single season ($150).

3. A hive can easily produce 25 lbs of honey in a single season ($125 wholesale, or $250+ direct).

If it can really manage 24 colonies extremely well, $16 per colony per month is NOTHING.
Actually the iOS1 home screen is... Not as skeuomorphic as it could have been? The Telephone, Mail, and SMS icons are all highly stylized. Plus, all icons have that rounded square frame that makes absolute sense for a touch-based UI, but is not skeuomophic at all. Maybe there's a lesson here, like "don't overdo it"?

Also, this neumorphism/claymorphism thing gives off some strong Windows XP Luna [1] vibes, maybe it should have been mentioned somewhere.

Sorry i'm not a native speaker and i don't understand this sentence (promise i'm not GPT-3 ;)).

> What do you mean by abolishing power? Like some sort of anarchy?

Yes, exactly. As long as power is concentrated in some hands (authority), there's many incentives for injustice, and the attack surface to take over the entire system is much bigger. And when you have police, prisons and military to impose the rule of the few by force, you end up in the worst timeline we're currently in where we have an abundance of resources and yet screaming poverty, and our ruling elites keep on fucking up the planet even more instead of redistributing resources so that in the end our entire species (and millions of others) will be wiped out.

If you want to see how alternative political systems could look in practice, i strongly recommend to check out the zapatistas (and their caracoles) in Chiapas or to some extent democratic confederalism in Rojava (which is less centered on horizontal power and more centered better representation of multi-cultural societies [0]). While much of the world is seeing setbacks on political freedoms and economic justice, these two regions are going in the opposite direction.

Also, on principle i'm not opposed to some technology helping collective processes. But blockchain as we know it (PoW, PoS) is deeply flawed, and whatever digital system we'll come up with will never be as accessible and auditable as local public decision-making. I understand that public votes in a local-first world could exacerbate some inequalities locally (eg. with an oppressed ethnic/religious/sexual minority in a given commune), but i'm convinced the overall gains would far outweigh those downsides including for oppressed minorities (and can argue on that point if someone is not convinced).

The problem with Nation States is comparable to blockchain. Consensus building is hard but can be done with a limited set of peers (a commune) in which there are existing trust relationships. Trying to build a wide-scale consensus among untrusted peers is doomed to failure and in the best scenario results in "dictatorship of the majority" which is not a good outcome for minorities, and more realistically ends up with an oligarchy controlling much of the network. In that sense, i would argue DHTs and Bittorrent-like protocols are more anarchist than blockchain: there is a notion of global consensus (content-addressed storage enforced by cryptographic hashes) but neither the DHT nor trackers (who federate between autonomous nodes/communes) end up dictating what your local computing/politics should be like.

Does that make sense to you?

[0] Rojava is under constant military threat by Daech and turkish military, and the influential PKK while undergoing anti-authoritarian self-critique has decades of authoritarian Marxist-Leninist practice to deconstruct. Both point don't help to build true local democracy (anarchy), although i would argue the region as a whole is moving in a better direction than most Nation States around the planet are.

Why do we still ignore it?

1. Mass media is owned by wealthy people, who do not want other people to question how they amassed that wealth, so corruption is not a widely discuted problem. As long as it doesn't touch everyone personally, it will stay this way.

2. Changing it requires organising. That "organising" is typically called government. It's pretty hard to install a whole new government. Reinstalling government in too slow manner will just reinfect newly elected officials with corruption and won't rid of the disease.

3. After changing government, there are still many wealthy people who will try to corrupt new government. Preventing that requires whole new system of governance, but it is not invented yet.

4. Hard to find THE perpetrators. Too many officials and too many corrupters, which do not make big universally regarded as bad moves. They corrupt little-by-little aka boiling the frog. Many wealthy people and officials are not actually corrupted, we just don't know which are.
Pointers are a core part of the CPU memory model on both ARM and x64, so they aren't going away anytime soon; there's no reason compilers, JITs or runtimes couldn't use pointer tagging, just the same as C programmers.
Oh cool. Thanks for that. So basically it uses similar terminology because it’s modulated it’s just that QAM is a different kind of modulation?
I don’t have a take on if it’s a good fit for single region hosting (though the tooling makes that tremendously simple).

I will say that I think the days of single region deployments are coming to an end, even for “the little guys”. Regulation all over the world is demanding your application be region aware and the nature of the internet means your users will come from those jurisdictions.

If anything we need simple web stacks that acknowledge this and hosts (like fly) and data tiers that enable it trivially.

Sorry for the tangent-y rant.
That's little solution introduced to real problem .. looking at job description these days makes me shifting to a product guy using tech I think is appropriated, not just based on "large pool of developers", and fall into inferior and inappropriate tech for solving problems.

Tearing down volunteer effort is fundamentally problematic. Yes, it’s important to not give anything flying under the banner of volunteer a free pass, but a huge project with decades of work and use like Debian is well beyond this. If you’re going to make criticism make it constructive or just move on with another distro.

Edit-The easiest way to make some points on the internet is just simple criticism. Doesn’t even have to be informed to come across as legitimate on the internet. Which is why internet blogs like this can do huge amounts of harm.
I think they are having a contest to see who can do the least design.

But that sometimes gets too boring even for them, so they invent new crap to get around the ban on skeuomorphism.

I wish they would just go back to skeu as practiced in the 90s to 2000s, just updated for the modern high res. WinXP and Win7 were great. Win2000 was perfectly fine by period standards.

> I personally see no evidence Ukraine is exhausted

There are news of a few fuel stores blown up by Russians every day. This limits Ukrainian mobility greatly. Ukraine has not been able to regain any significant territory despite the majority of Russian army being concentrated around Mariupol. Russian army makes advances in Mariupol step by step and after that will be free to attack other parts of Ukraine. Whether it will is going to be a decision of one man.

> they are about to learn that they will be ostracized and blocked at every turn when they try to reintegrate with the rest of the world

With the rest of Western world to be precise. Yes, isolation of Russia from the West is likely to succeed (although I see threats to this as well in Hungary, Germany and France). But it is open whether it will be enough to restrain Russia's military power in the long term.

Isolation was just the start of the first Cold War, and is probably a start of the new one. Winning it was, and still is a non-trivial challenge.

It's completely relevant to my point because it's unlikely they'd be doing this without the pressure from US politicians.

I would add that for many people that try to change the Government from within end up becoming what they start out fighting against just to be in the process.

I don't think it's always as simple as that. Some wrongs are more important than others. The little wrongs, wouldn't be worth that mark on your career as being seen as unreliable, other wrongs would be worth it.
>I don't think you can excuse this by blaming the media - shouldn't it be the government's responsibility to make sure they have the correct information before making use of emergency powers?

I never intended to excuse anything. The media is bought and paid for by the government. This is the state propaganda who called the protest a bunch of nazis.

Worse yet... Joel Lightbound is a liberal quebec MP. He made the huge mistake of going to the protest and talk to them and he was astounded by how misrepresented the protest was by Canadian media. Over a week before the emergency was declared he said exactly what should happen. Stop the inflammatory messaging calling them all nazis, they are not nazis. Give us a roadmap to when our rights will be restored.

That would have solved the entire problem long before anything went down. Today, not only did everything that the protest was protesting still remains without a roadmap, they have added new restrictions to our rights.

Show HN: Professional growth in 2 min a day [total rebuild of iOS app]
Ironically you were hiring "React" lead, which is still popular today as "CoolFramework" despise there are better solutions out there.
Making time for professional development can be tough - especially when it comes to the “soft skills” often needed to progress in your career like:

Giving and receiving feedback
Addressing problems in your team, or even
the simple art of how to say no when you’re overloaded with requests

Courses or training programs in this area tend to be super generic as well, so our small startup team set out to create a personalized, micro-learning app to help people learn something new + relevant in just a couple minutes each day. We called it an AI leadership coach.

We launched it in 2020 and things were going great, until we started running into some major issues:

We had built at a furious pace just to get the app out in the world and see if people wanted it at all, but we piled up tech debt in order to move fast
Because we had decided to prioritize new features over quality, we started getting a TON of bug reports and complaints about loading times. We knew we were making a tradeoff, but the impact on user experience escalated faster than we initially expected.
Every time we fixed one bug, we introduced new ones, so fixing what seemed like a simple issue would end up being a major rabbit hole

We realized at some point that we weren’t realistically going to be able to develop on top of what we had built (at least not as quickly as we wanted), and made a tough decision to re-write the app entirely, even though we knew that this is the kind of project many teams have started but few actually finish.

While we managed to pull it off, it took longer than we initially hoped. In total, it took over 6 months (though we were also maintaining the “old” app). We ended up moving away from SwiftUI and Combine to instead go with UIKit and RxSwift. We also decided to build a backend API and moved away from using Firestore directly as well.

I don’t think I would advise others to go down this path, but I’m happy to say we shipped the new app, and so far: our speed of development has increased massively - we’re now shipping ~once a week or so and able to work on meaningful features. Crashes and bug reports are way down, as are loading times.

Curious to hear what HN thinks of the new app, and any questions about the process!
If a hacker uses my account to hack my employer via Microsoft's terrible MFA, it's not my problem. The buck stops, as always, with the person who cares about the resource being accessed, or who is made to care by being legally liable.

For a disgruntled employee (most employees), getting hacked is a win-win.
> If you can maintain peace in a society long enough e.g. avoid wars over land, then at some point, people will have to figure out how to share land peacefully.

I agree with the rest of your comment, but i personally think you're wrong on this part. I do not believe peace leads to fairness, but rather that fairness leads to peace: how do you ensure peace when there's an abundance of resources and yet many people who struggle to survive?
It makes sense in terms of having fun.
I want to do a sentiment analysis on Redis-related HN comments pre and post antirez departure.
I just want to +1 this last point; I am a rigid 9-to-5er (actually 7:30-4 for a variety of reasons, but who's counting?), but I care deeply about my craft as a software engineer. I just refuse to work more hours than my employer is willing to pay me. I would rather improve my efficiency at work (something I spend a lot of time doing, e.g. by learning new tech, sharpening my tools) than work more hours. I chose to do this several years ago when I realized I was burning myself out and giving out way too many rainchecks to people I cared about. Point is, I can be both extremely passionate about my work (and do a pretty darn good job of it) and very protective of my time outside of work.
