The device belongs to the owner and the owner should be able to override anything.

If an organization wants to set policies that can’t be overridden, it should pay for the devices. (And even then, the user still has a right to privacy and a certain level of control).

If they set a MDM policy on a device I own, I’ll mail the organization the device and a bill for buying a new one that very same day.

I like the systematic approach they have used, and am a bit scared by the results. In one way, it is not that surprising that a social media app is so tightly controlled and used as a tool by the Russian government to hide unpleasant parts of reality.

> We're adding a parallel keyword

Why is there a need for a "parallel" keyword? Can't the compiler decide for you whether to parallelize a loop for you?

If the decision to parallelize depends on the data, couldn't the compiler generate code for both implementations and select the right one at run time?

Or maybe the programmer could describe in code what they expect the data will look like, and the compiler will take a decision based on those annotations (and other signals, such as the HW the program has access to, what the programmer wants to optimize for (memory? latency?)).

An interesting thing about Wikipedia is that it's not very compatible with charging for access, but not because Wikipedia editors are desperate for distribution (we do our best to discourage the ones who try to use Wikipedia to get distribution for their point of view). It's more that charging for access discourages people from contributing in a variety of interestingly different ways.

I don't know if it's true that Jimmy Wales named one of his daughters after an Ayn Rand heroine (none of them seem to be named Dominique or Dagny, but maybe I just haven't read enough Ayn Rand) but he is definitely pretty bullish on liberalism and specifically capitalism.
The Russians knew of this rule, so I doubt they are surprised. If the new owners are approved they will get control back.

A bit less than nuclear energy if there's a good mix of pumped storage + wind + solar.

It all gets built way quicker too. No 15 year lead times setting up solar panel farms can be done in 6 months. Pumped storage projects can be done in a couple of years. Each small scale quick and cheap project takes a chunk out of our reliance on natgas.

People way underestimate just how fantastically expensive nuclear power is and how unviable it is without lavish subsidies that other renewables dont need.

It'll keep getting built in countries with nuclear arsenals though coz it can share some of those costs. Thats ultimately why we get barraged with so much pro nuclear power propaganda. It aint about reliability, it's about the military industrial complex foisting costs off on to rate and taxpayers.

Obviously when Iran does this we are made aware of how awful and wrong it is but it's greenwashed under the carpet 100% of the rest of the time.

Coasting is the norm for most people once they get past the “up or out” part of their career. There’s a lot of variance in how long that period lasts depending on the line of work, but after that for every 10 people you’ll have:

2 who work hard and are net additions

2 who actively work against things to maintain whatever they have

6 who are just content to be there, do what they need to do to continue to get paid and lean towards whichever of the above groups make their life easier at any given time.

I just want to say, I am so happy you and others here are voicing this opinion on ads. I agree whole heartedly and avoid them like the plague — because they are a plague. A social disease infecting nearly every facet of modern reality, and rotting away at it.

In my own spaces, nothing with a logo is allowed to be displayed. This makes for a significantly better feeling space. In the past, people have walked in and made comments like “it feels so good in here!” — I attribute it in large part to eliminating the nonstop psychic bombardment of advertising.

When buying new products, I go to significant lengths making sure the item has an ad that can be managed. If I cannot find a product with a logo that’s easily removable, I do not purchase for the most part.

If a streaming service shows an ad to me, it goes off or I leave the area. It is simple.

Other people do not have the right to intrude in my cognition against my will, ESPECIALLY these gluttonous people running megacorporations. They are reducing consciousness for a quick buck against our will. Put another way, they are injecting their ego and greed into anyone possible against their will. I find it to be a type of psychic assault analogous to certain depraved physical assaults relating to self-propagation.

My intuition says ads make us dumber, more compliant, poorer, worse thinkers, more impulse driven, and more subject to external authority; among other pacifying and stupefying impacts. It is a disease worth fighting against.

You are dodging a very specific question. Airbnb is clearly discriminating against customers based on their ethnicity. What would you say if they'd discriminate against black people or Jews?

Of course, they'd lay out all the arguments supporting their position you kindly listed. Not having blacks is good for the company, why should homeowners be forced to let them in their homes. No-no, it's not punishing, just use another platform.

Would that be ok, or not?

You're comparing games rather than engines here. There is no reason at all that you can't write your simulation logic in vanilla bare bones C++ as factorio has done, and still get the benefit of using an existing engine. You get all the neat (and hard) things like serialisation, multiplatform support, networking, asset management, patching, and a bunch of other things. Sure, factorio may not need a 3d renderer, but it definitely needs and uses the rest of what I listed above.

It's likely worth looking into federated learning. You could have a core model, which then trains locally on player inputs. The federated learning research space is focused on this sort of small model update on phones, so should have plenty of people who have thought hard about the problem of keeping binary sizes small and training compute manageable.

Can you define "US-style atheism"?

There is a definite British "cultural Anglicanism", where churches are visited routinely by non-believers who would never step inside during a service. I'm one such non-believer; some of my favourite spaces are churches.

But what makes American disbelief in gods different?

Is it that there are fewer beautiful old churches to visit outside of worship hours, or is it that has become inherently, necessarily militant because the US has, since McCarthy and the Red Scare, inserted performative Christianity into as many avenues of life as possible such that an atheist presidential candidate has to lie to get the job?
most people ignore that in our history, in various moments, many have crafted "universal systems" to organize information, few historical examples:

- ~612 BC Ashurbanipal di Nineveh tablets, sort of structured tag-based library with more than 30k tags found, mostly used to note transactions and other daily life activities

- ~245 BC Callimacus pínakes, another sort of tag-based index for the Alexandria giant library

- ~1545 Conrad Gessner libraries of Babel, personal notes closely similar to "modern" ZettelKasten

- 1673-94 Leibniz's Scrinium Literatum another far similar to Gessner's one and ZK

- 1934 Paul Otlet & Henry La Fontaine Mundaneum, so-called the modern web ancestor

- 1960 Niklas Luhmann's ZettelKasten

Those are just few I remember but there are many others and surely many more not lost in the history. All claim to be universal and all have an ultimate goal: store&retrieve information as easily as possible to produce new one, to evolve. All are closely similar in principles (usage of meta-information, cataloguing techniques of various kind, keep individual "entries" small for easy isolation and composing etc). The web (1.0 so called) is the first general and global example of those systems. All fails though at a certain point.

Long story short: there is no universal method to be followed slavishly expecting magic results, there are common needs, normally solved in closely similar ways with the tools of the time for millennia, the best option is understand the problem and the principle behind all those solutions tailoring one on our needs.

Personally I use Emacs/org-mode/org-roam and various other related package to manage my personal information, suffering a bit by the lack of a more flexible storage than files and filesystems, but still enough to manage almost anything so effectively that I can't use modern desktops/sw anymore, it's not PARA, ZK etc but just another systems, without strict rules, tailored on my needs following the similar principles of all others. Popular modern one are LYT https://youtu.be/RgwnpEBFNUg or Jonny Decimal.
Ah. This makes sense. In this case, I think a throwaway or a personal account will perform the same function, as long as it is not affiliated with the school system.
The open web is still growing. The perception that it's dying is just because proprietary services like Facebook and Twitter have dominated public discourse on the web, but it's still alive and well.

It's not growing as fast as it was, sure, but for example the number of active blogs has grown by 12% in the last 7 years and 4.4 million blog posts are published every day, more than ever before.
This is something I have been thinking about too; the question what’s next for Netflix. They feel done, now they are a phase where they just churn out new content and hope to retain the customer base. Netflix feels like it became more of a media company and less tech at this point. Whether they now have a lower priced tier with ads or not is kind of pointless. Sure they will make more money in the short term but they will inevitably reach the same position after they exhaust that customer base too. They are now a big stable business and they have to come to terms with it.
That authority has always stopped at the sidewalk, too. Taking computers home has altered the scope of potential overreach, particularly with personal computer use at home and the potential school control of camera and microphone devices.
The logical policy would be to not use any evidence from the return, but to continue to allow investigation using the evidence from the theft. Of course most existing law enforcement agencies aren't trustworthy enough to credibly commit to this.
> energy independence

We use LPG gas (from a tank buried at the bottom of the garden) feeding a gas boiler to heat our house.

I'm all for energy independence, and would love to switch to a more environmentally-friendly energy source, but I'm deeply concerned about how much this will cost me, and even if I did have the money, based on reports in local media, getting a heating engineer in would take many months.

Half a continent wants to switch energy supply "now" and the world was already suffering a serious supply chain crisis. Changing quickly may simply not be possible, never mind affordable.

It's hard to tell what benefit there actually is from this kind of thing. There's definitely great new tools developed all the time, but most of them seem to be planned megaprojects.

I've never seen a custom build system or VCS or personal/project specific tooling I'd want to use.

Seems like most of it happens just cause devs enjoy it.

Making your own clamps seems very much the same.

The other reason is there's a real cult of assuming that minimal is always best, and devs resent using any tool that has more features than they absolutely need.

They also resent any more opinionated structure than they need, even if it makes things safer and easier, because they seem to really enjoy blank canvas creativity.
I am actually quite surprised Netflix is not heavily into product placements. They have globally popular shows, if nothing else get a soda sponsorship show the Coke/Pepsi cans are the local labeling for every country a show streams. It is not as if such object replacements cannot be 95% automated now. Seriously. Why subject people to the piss poor overt manipulation of advertising when the service's own programming can embed sponsorship transparently into their shows?
You use the word "nature" and its cognates surprisingly frequently in this description of an entirely artificial set of processes.
Honestly, unless you are working with GPU heavy tasks, I would say that both are overkill. I use a Mac Mini M1 16GB and it is more than meets all my software development needs. I mainly work with XCode (iOS), Android Studio (Android), and Visual Studio (.NET).

I really don't think the Max would be worth it over the Pro.

Show HN: The future of internet? Wormholes and strongly typed URLs
Worms are URLs which are allowed to pop from any text software into any other process beyond the browser. It captures the screen and extracts worm links.

Method:

- Continually printscreen

- OCR from the capture

- Process wormholes

- Only allow specific worms/URL types to run automatically (for security) - this is URL typing

Example: allow "imgur" worms to auto-display pictures hosted from imgur, as a display notification, or ideally (with a compatible browser's plugin) insert into the page where the worm text is situated.

It would look like this: worm://image/imgur/arg1-arg2-...-argn

That can only extract image type, and only images from imgur sources. This is type-safe, and you'll see the notification-image in whatever app you happened to display that text, even inside a 3D app or videogame. It is app-agnostic hypertext links.

How to make it happen right now for increased business productivity:

- use something like Capture2text to OCR printed-screen into copypaste (this is the hard part)

- extract worm links from the copypasted every X seconds using any programming language

- process those links one by one, example: display a picture on the bottom-right corner of the display, using the imgur worm link, without having to click it.

I understand there were security issues but as the years go by and security progresses, this could be useful.
Right, because people can withdraw capital like in a bad action movie and then it is just gone - nothing a state could ever do!

Something went wrong with the distance. As there is ~80km between Kharkiv and Belgorod and not 80 miles. If they meant to use Norwgian miles eight would have been correct.
> Creators of software can't anticipate every need

This is one of the reasons why software development is so expensive. You really have to find those small little "business processes" and translate them into clear rules a computer can work with and keep a usable user interface. Without domain knowledge this is really hard.

This also is why the world runs in Excel. Somebody smart in the business unit starts with collecting all info in Excel and slowly builds more and more complex macros into it whenever they have a need. The larger the distance between the business and development the harder it is to capture all those small edges.
There really isn’t a coherent logic here as far as I can tell.

Netflix already collects a huge amount of user data. Do they sell it now? I don’t know, maybe.

If Netflix launched an ad-supported subscription plan, why would that make them more likely to sell the data which they already collect?

I can’t see any obvious connection between selling ad spots and selling user data.

> Why waste precious data when you can monetize it ?

They have this data. They will continue to have this data if they don’t show ads, and they will also continue to have this data if they do show ads.

Why is the data not being wasted now? Why would the situation be different if Netflix offered ad-supported plans?
