Particularly in the earlier days before APNS revamped their APIs to provide better feedback, yeah - you could spray and pray and honestly it'd work pretty well, but oh boy was doing anything complex difficult. UA legitimately simplified a solid chunk of that, and you could just hammer their API however you pleased rather than needing to maintain stable connections to APNS.

Where I worked did eventually drop them and start using our own redis queue + long-running process and that was plenty sufficient for what we did. We lost the "+1 to iOS's counter" feature (this was prior to background processing of notifications existing at all), but we had solid evidence that it simply wasn't providing us much benefit for the complexity/cost compared to just a numberless dot.
Had to google that and scroll past a S. S. Public Library to find what you are even talking about...

I've been playing around with it today and have been super impressed with its ability to generate pretty artful digital paintings. Could have big implications for designers and artists if and when they allow you use custom palettes, etc.

Here's an example from my prompt ("a group of farmers picking lettuce in a field digital painting"): https://labs.openai.com/s/jb5pzIdTjS3AkMvmAlx69t7G
we need people like stallman and organisations like GNU, EFF & co. desperately.

their goals might not be reachable, cause reality is rarely pure, but to me it's a principal necessity.

why? it's the counter weight to the microsoft of the late 90s and early 2000s. profit above all, we will try to get you, bind you and squeeze you with everything we can use - and more. GNU is the natural mirror perspective, which is needed for - balance.

and if we get a "more GNU" world ... i personally would think that is a good thing.

This makes sense, intuitively; if I gave you "8f434346648f6b96df89dda901c5176b10a6d83961dd3c1ac88b59b2dc327aa4" (sha256('hi')), and you quickly told me its K complexity was 2, I would become skeptical that sha256 was a one way function. (assuming of course you didn't brute force it)

All three Baltic countries stopped all imports of Russian gas for its own use this week, a move largely enabled by the FSRU Independence. The only remaining movement of gas across the pipeline through Lithuania from Russia is in transit to the Kaliningrad oblast.

FSRU Independence has sufficient capacity to deliver enough gas to serve 70~100% of the yearly needs of the three Baltic countries, depending on how you count. Of course it remains a question of who supplies the LNG, but it gives the countries a backup, an ability to pick the suppliers and an ability to make politically important decisions, even if it means paying a little more.

Ask HN: Once a Week Social Media?
I just finished the book 'Stolen Focus' (link below), and one thing that caught my attention other than of course the algorithms working to keep us constantly looking, I was wondering if there would ever be an incentive to create a social media site that only allows it to use it once a week.

One of the things the book asserts is that individual control isn't sufficient, and it is the system which is the problem.

Would a social media site ever be successful where you can post, etc, but the site would aggregate the content and you can only view everyone else's content only once a week? It would help solve some issues like infinite scroll.

Yep. Amazing when you consider that Windows CE ran on MIPS hardware (NEC VR3xxx and VR4xxx chips). Casio's Cassiopeia series for example.

It's not quite a "what could have been" because they were really eclipsed by the StrongARM at that point, as I recall, but it's very notable how quickly people lost interest in MIPS.

I agree, the thing is, the person who introduced the idea into this conversation that power was a boolean quantity and that it meant you either could do anything or were limited in some way - was you. I don't mean this as a personal attack or anything, it's just the facts; we weren't talking in those terms until you introduced them. You wouldn't need to disagree with this point if you hadn't brought it up yourself.

Powerful people lobby against legislation constantly with mixed success. They're able to hold a lot of influence, but not able to hold total influence. It is difficult to understand, it's a complex system composed of many fully autonomous human beings. But we do ourselves a disservice when we cast it in such stark terms, wouldn't you say?

While clang is getting this support because it's not GPL, it's also providing a well deserved competition for GCC, and clang's presence woke the GCC devs to build a better compiler.

All in all I avoid non-GPL compilers for my code, but I'm happy that clang acted as a big (hard) foam cluebat for GCC.

In my opinion, we need a well polished GNU/GPL toolchain both to show it's possible, and provide a good benchmark to compete with. This competition is what drives us forward.

Where was this diner?

I bartended in high-end bars in the DC area -- some of the richest counties in America -- and pulled ~50-55k. These were VIPs with bottle serivce, etc. Big nights like New Year's Eve could see me walking out with 1000 bucks or more, but that was rare.

Managers pulled 80-100k, but their per hour was probably terrible since they were constantly working.

> Just about anyone can work in a restaurant if they are physically capable, and unless you have a physical or mental disability, you are capable. Perhaps unwilling, lazy, or a bit of a crybaby; either way, unless you're missing a limb, you can work hard in a restaurant, construction, landscaping, and other jobs and make double (or more) the money you earn at McDonalds with the exact same skill set.

Just quote PragerU directly, killer.

Restaurant work is hard, and if you're making 4000 bucks a month in tips then you're hustling hard all day. Might be doable for a 19 year old, but there is no way I could do that kind of work now.

> This hasn't really changed. You can still get server jobs at great restaurants and make decent money with little marketable skills. Of course the point is to not make a career out of it unless your goal is to own a restaurant one day.

Bollocks. Maybe in busy joints around big cities, but if you're working at Applebee's in Nowhereville then you're going to struggle.
> Besides, LLVM wouldn't have gotten investment to begin with if it were GPL licensed. The entire reason for Apple's investment in LLVM in the first place is that it wasn't GPL.

I don't think that's the case; Apple/LLVM actually offered to sign over the copyright to the FSF, under the GPL; from https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/gcc/2005-11/msg00888.html

> The patch I'm working on is GPL licensed and copyright will be assigned to the FSF under the standard Apple copyright assignment. Initially, I intend to link the LLVM libraries in from the existing LLVM distribution, mainly to simplify my work. This code is licensed under a BSD-like license [8], and LLVM itself will not initially be assigned to the FSF. If people are seriously in favor of LLVM being a long-term part of GCC, I personally believe that the LLVM community would agree to assign the copyright of LLVM itself to the FSF and we can work through these details.

The reason people worked on LLVM/clang is that GCC was (and to some degree, is) not very good in various areas, and had a difficult community making fixing those issues hard. There's a reason a lot of these newer languages like Swift, Rust, and Zig are based on LLVM and not GCC. See e.g. https://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20070915195203#p... for a run-down (from 2007, I'm not sure how many of these issues persist today; gcc has not stood still either of course, error messages are much better than they were in 2007 for example).

GPL3 changed things a bit; I'm not sure Lattner would have made the same offer with GPL3 around, but that was from 2005 when GPL3 didn't exist yet. But the idea that LLVM was primarily motivated by license issues doesn't seem to be the case, although it was probably seen as an additional benefit.
No, I disagree. Most people are so baffled by computers that they don't want to know "why" or "how things work". They just want to be told what to do, or better still they just want you to make it work.

So just tell them "here, do backups THIS way, use THIS password manager, I've installed an ad/script-blocker in your browser, now you're in better shape".

We are using it for our own recently launched podcast and it's working fine for us so far. As a minimal example, we customized the bootstrap css, about 8 HTML block/page templates, and built our header/footer in the CMS editor. Otherwise we're completely stock from what's on the git repo.

Wagtail is a pretty nice compromise between wysiwyg and completely headless, I think. I would hope that people not willing to do a complete custom UI for a non-tech business find this a good middle point to work from.
Sure, the failure of a relationship doesn't mean the relationship had no value, but the expectation that a happy marriage lasts your whole life is the very foundation of marriage. "I was committed for 5 years and then I wasn't" is as affirming to a marriage as "I honored your warranty for 5 years and then I didn't" is to a lifetime warranty. If you just wanted to be in a relationship with someone that realistically lasts 5 - 10 years, you don't marry them.

Every aspect of marriage hinges on it not ending before death. All religions explicitly spell that out one way or another. Religion aside, legally every government imposes life-changing financial penalties for ending it that way. The main reason governments do this is because culturally it was very common for the wife to stop working or stop pursuing a career in a marriage due to the implied commitment the husband has to the wife, but if the wife knows that the relationship has a 5 year clock then she would behave differently. Married couples have children due to the implied permanence of their relationship, if a 5 year expiration date was known upfront it would change behavior because it's well known that divorce is damaging to children.

If I buy something called the Forever Car that's very expensive but promises in return to never break down, and then it breaks down in the middle of an interstate trip...I guess that doesn't invalidate all the miles the Forever Car got me through, but it certainly calls into question the value proposition of the Forever Car. I may not regret that I bought a car but I certainly wouldn't have gotten a Forever Car. I would definitely say that a Forever Car that doesn't go the distance has something very wrong with it because it doesn't deliver what it promises.

The Apache idea of Free Software being a contract diverse entities can adhere to collaborate on building high quality software that satisfy their needs is quite flawless. It's just not more widespread because there is a huge amount of cheap software competing with it, and cheap proprietary software tends to have short term advantages over free software.

The GNU idea of Free Software being a side effect of learning and science is getting out of fashion due to constraints over the academic workers. Publish or perish is killing it.

The Linux idea of Free Software being "hey, I've solved this thing, maybe it can help you too" is being reborn with the recent revolt over maintenance burden and community bureaucracy.

The RedHat way of Free Software being a marketing tool was never reliable, but if you make developer tools, you must deal with it nowadays.

So, the same idea has a world of different motivations. Some are being fulfilled perfectly well, while others are hurting. In particular, the GNU ideal got spread way outside of the public that could hold it, and if on its core public, it's suffering. But it's not the only one motivation, and it's certainly not the most important one either, because it could never scale.
Lower cost to transportation is key for pretty much any economic growth. People and companies have significantly more plans than just a couple probes every few years. Exploration, mining, tourism, scientific research, manufacturing are a couple things that come to mind. There are probably many more ideas than what i can think of and that’s the point. Make it cheaper for people with ideas to make them a reality. When only the largest of governments can afford to put something into space then we won’t see much innovation/economic growth.

I believe that Stallman is correct in most of what he says. When he started his movements the threats were lower than there are now. But looking at the current state of the industry things are scarier than I ever imagined to be 10 years ago. People cannot even imagine how much data is collected from them each day. And the simplest way to collect data is to sell people phones, and make them install apps instead of letting them use the site (with potential ad blockers).

I've made some experiments on my phones (bot Android and IOS), and you would surprise how many of the apps are "calling home". Because those apps are closed source, God knows what information they are sending back to their servers.

Hash functions are irreversible; a potentially-infinite number of inputs all map to the same output.

I think the one-way functions referred to are what used to be called trap-door functions. They're not irreversible, like hash functions; they're computationally hard to reverse, unless you happen to know the key to open the trap-door.
People do not realize just how important Fungi are - there was a point at which Trees were the new hotness and Fungi had not evolved yet - prehistoric trees basically took over the entire planet and there was nothing to break down all of the leftover dead wood on the ground. We are talking layers and layers of dead trees everywhere.

Then Fungi evolved and started breaking all that down and eventually a long time later we get animals.

> decrepit government infrastructure

This is a common misconception. It's a political battle regarding the extent to which the government is permitted to tabulate and link the various details of people's lives.

> could start sending money to resident citizens’ bank accounts tomorrow

That ability implies keeping and regularly querying detailed information about individuals that many here aren't comfortable with.

> Paper checks and other American-style 19th century banking relics are simply not a thing.

The system isn't as bad as you seem to be making out. Using a credit card without a chip is effectively the same thing. It's simply a claim that a numbered account has agreed to transfer you funds. Lying about that is fraud and your financial institution will have identifying details about you.

I am just jumping in not to pressure you specifically to dump the source but in my experience in quant finance and music software development (hobby), I see kind of a tragedy of the commons especially in finance. If more people made their source available upon winding down a project it would drive down costs in the entire industry and indeed the whole tech ecosystem.

I agree with the other two responses.

Dealing with your own kids you start to understand humanity better. You understand your parents more, one of the funny things that happens, is you catch yourself responding to things the same way your parents did. Sometimes that's good, other times that's bad. This leads to self-evaluation. You have to ask how did I feel when my parents did this? What did I hate about my parents parenting style, what did I like?

If you don't have children, it's purely a theoretical question, the stakes are null. With your own children the stakes are the emotional, physical and intellectual health of your kids, it has to be taken seriously.

On the flip side you realize that we are all just kids in adult bodies. I see my children do things and I see parallels in my own behavior, or in the behavior of others. So not only do you understand your parents better, you understand yourself and humanity better.

Aside from getting a better understanding of human nature, you also have to start making decisions about your own needs vs the needs of others, in this case your children, and your co-parent. If your kid is throwing up at 2am, guess what, you can't just deal with it tomorrow. You start checking the weather to see does my kid need a coat, a rain coat, a t-shirt? As a side effect you start paying more attention externally. Questions like "how is my kid feeling right now?", or "why did they just do that?". Which means your empathy increases, and your emotional intelligence.

All of this presumes the ability to self-reflect. Which is something a large number of people lack, including parents. Basically if you ever see bad parents you will notice the common thread is lack of self-reflection and awareness. It's holding on to your past self which ultimately hurts your children, and your personal growth.

I think that would be a bit every 2 years based on Moore's law after the 80's and actual progress has been slower than that for something like a decade now. There are looming fundamental physical limits.

Moore's law refers to hardware capacity and not speed. If you can't figure out how to completely parallelize your attack then that is important. And things are not getting significantly faster.

So a lot of stuff is likely to be safe indefinitely under current technological conditions. A complete breakthrough like quantum computing would be required. Makes it hard to predict things.
