I just had to write this up because we run roundtables and mentors at my conference SaaS Connect which is finally happening again next week after 3 years and I had forgotten.

First make sure you have permission to offer advice. But remember…

No one likes advice. You cannot really know what is going on in someone else’s world. It’s easy to get it wrong. And advice isn’t about controlling people despite what another person said; that would be very aggressive and really an intervention not advice giving.

Instead ground your responses in your own experiences. You can never be wrong about yourself.

Tell relevant stories from your own experience.

Share resources that may be relevant.

Work through your own mental models you might apply in this situation. That isn’t telling people your mental framework is correct though you may believe it deeply. It’s saying “I use this framework. This is how I’d apply it.”

This gives the listener what they are really after when asking for advice. Insight into how you think. It’s a mystery to them and pulling back the curtain is a wonder.

They will learn and take what they can from the experience.

Web/iOS versions of Xabber do it quite well, complete with videocalls and screensharing, etc.

Android version is in rewrite (decided to dump existing app because of tech debt issues), but I have zero reasons to doubt that it will work (hopefully by august).

iOS version is not yet released on Appstore because we need to work out some more issues (not too many), but I can give you access to it, if you're interested.

> I can't stand Apple's required software like iTunes.

Required for what? I haven't opened iTunes even once in many years.

You don't need it even if you want to do local backups on macOS, you can do it all from an easy menu in Finder aka file explorer.
I have seen many, many software deals with meaningful warranties from sane companies.

Disclaimers do often include the "AS IS" magic phrase. But it often appears within a structure making exception for "express warranties". In other words, "AS IS" appears, but it doesn't erase the warranties written out in the license agreement. It's there to reinforce disclaimers of default warranties in the background law, like the Uniform Commercial Code.
Until Android reaches 100%, it'll have two directions to go
If you want one backed by a reputable company's warranty and consumer safety, Segway sells a good one. Other reputable brands include Apollo, Unagi and Razor.
I run ad/content blockers on iOS, I watched my wife use safari the other day and was shocked at how much irritating content/ads she deals with so I installed the same one for her, works a treat.
How do you even get the files on the iPhone? I see long blog posts discussing the steps needed for this. Not really "just works" is it?
I typically tell people if you want an apples-to-apples (no pun intended) comparison, you can't compare iOS to Android. You need to compare iPhone to Google Pixel. If iOS was open source and available for 3rd parties to roll-their-own, you wouldn't take a cheap "iPhone" maker and compare that against the latest Pixel Pro, so the reverse shouldn't be done either.

Verizon is still violating “click to subscribe, call to cancel” routinely with their 5G Home services. You can get the modem delivered to your door with a couple clicks but you have to chat with support to get the line cancelled. You can’t even take the device into a physical store to return.
Lol no. It is a monolithic monster that will never see any other independent server vendor. Matrix is a product with a public API, not a protocol.
Blood letting was the scientific consensus not long ago. You would have been spreading misinformation to question it.
Yep. There is one reason and one reason only I am on Android: price. A mobile phone does not have enough value to me to pay for Apple's least expensive phone.
Even the Pixel software just feels like a knock-off of iOS. Same UI paradigms, gestures, etc but everything feels cheaper.

I could see them saying faster Internet makes more piracy. I doubt they actually give a shit about faster Internet for the masses. Nobody is lining their pockets on that one.
Exactly, I’m wondering the same thing. Like, who cares “why”. The same reason Android supports a USB mouse. We build it because we can.

Now if they can lower the cost of the network equipment that would be ideal.

Sounds like you're calling for a return to Glass–Steagall, which was repealed by a bipartisan vote under a Democratic president in 1999.

Twitter is close to being the perfect perpetual rage generator, is that what you meant by calling it 'close to being perfect'? The format in combination with their nefarious algorithm makes for a nearly perfect polarisation machine where you're either 'with' or ´against' how Twitter-the-company wants you to think.
And where did I say that?
Probably a better test for Library Genesis would be books that are notorious in Russia (whatever those might be, I don't know.) I doubt the Turner Diaries has much notoriety in Russia, due to the language barrier if nothing else.
>people have just resorted to ostracizing android users by co-opting iOS' "green bubbles" as a scarlet letter.

What does this mean?
Think I'm missing your point. Are you suggesting that most people have total savings < one year's income?
Which blockers do you use?
It's been mentioned before in other articles, but I don't think it can be understated how much iMessage makes it difficult to be the "odd man out" if you're on an Android phone. And it's not just about teenagers, and it's not about "green bubbles".

I recently went on a vacation with friends, 4 other folks on iPhones and me on an Android. Our group chat experience almost made me consider getting an iPhone. The inability to do emoji responds, and the fact that shared videos always looked like shit on my phone were just 2 of the examples. And I'm well past middle age! I can imagine what it feels like to be a high schooler or young adult feeling like the reason the group chat experience is sucking is because "you're the one with the Android".
This has happened to me also (indie game dev) a few years ago.

The number is about 20 or so games that have been removed by Apple because they hadn't been updated in two years. The worked perfectly fine on all the new hardware/software and even work today.

On top of that, I know that there is another 30 or so apps I was involved in with clients that have also been removed.

These weren't the biggest apps/games in the world, but they were all high quality finished products that had nothing wrong with them. Its just the cost of re-publishing each one out-weighed the return, so I didn't have much of a choice sadly. I do have plans to re-publish some of them, however they have to take a back seat for current work.

All that to say, I have a large part of my portfolio of work that is no longer available to the public, which just sucks.
I tried to write a client back in the days.

XML is always painful but XMPP brings it to another level by not playing nice with most parsers which expect complete documents, I ended up having to roll my own parser.

But perhaps the situation in XML land has improved since, I sincerely hope so for the people writing today's clients.

Professionally I've been involved in one project that used XMPP as a data protocol between back end services. It was eventually phased out in favor of REST because of buggy libraries which meant capturing messages in queues and replaying whenever the thing fell over.
First of all, that's not a GPU, it's just a simple video interface.

While an impressive feat (a complex picture in just a few lines of C++) it's sadly very misleading. His design relies on evaluating one big expensive logic cloud for every pixel. That same design would be only fractionally more complex in an HDL (like SystemVerilog). However this naive approach doesn't scale at all as the time window for the logic window is fixed and there's only so much you can do in each step. You quickly need to start pipelining which Vivado can do, but where the abstraction falls apart completely is when datapaths have loops or the pipeline has complicated control (even a simple five-stage cpu pipeline).

I'm been waiting for a better approach for 20+ years. Examples that I think better handles complex pipelines (without just sticking together the whole thing manually, like Verilog, Chisel, MyHDL, etc) include Handel-C and Silice. I hope some HNers will tell me I'm wrong and share a much better option. (I would love something that fells like Rust but can describe complex pipelines).
I am an Apple user. I migrated from Windows the the Mac in the late 90s, and the shift to OS X only cemented my relationship with the platform. Having a unixy (well, BSD-y) system with MS Office on it is a powerful combo for my line of work, and so I am still here.

I disdained the iPhone at first, but ended up getting won over pretty quickly. At introduction, it was just better than anything else, and the smooth connectivity between my Mac and my phone was really appealing. As the platform has grown, I've stayed with it; I've never really used Android for a long period of time except for a brief dalliance with a tablet a few years ago.

I'm not here to argue about which is better. I know which works better for ME, and is more appealing to ME. I say all this to establish my position. Silly people describe people like me as "fanboys," as though it's not possible to make a rational decision to use this ecosystem. Whatever.

HERE'S MY POINT:

I do not welcome news of Android market share loss. I do not want Apple to become the kind of dominant player in mobile that Microsoft was on the desktop 25 years ago. That kind of platform control inevitably becomes toxic, IMO. MSFT absolutely sought to exploit that position from the getgo; Apple doesn't seem to have the same kind of insane ALL PIE FOR ME motivation, but supermajority market share is a hell of a drug.

So while I have no interest in USING an Android phone or table, I very very much Android to right its ship and maintain their position as a peer or near-peer to iOS.

Credible competition is good for the market, and thus good for my preferred platform.
> However, seeing rabid mccartism and imposing collective guilt only makes me feel under siege.

Seeing as that is the whole point of the sanctions, I'd say it's working. The point is to piss off regular Russians enough that at some point they might decide to overthrow their dictator.
Cat5 can be capable of multi-gigabit over runs less than a couple hundred feet. Don’t count yourself out yet.
You said that "people use [androids] to do stuff" as if you couldn't do stuff with iphones.
Ask HN: Why did mobile App-Changelogs did become abandoned
When did this happen? And why? I love App-Updates, but want to know, what changes with the new release. And "minor changes" or "look at example.com" or "look in the app" is not enough or an alternative.
I meant "Tech" with a capital T -- analogues of Facebook, Netflix, and so on -- not real physical competencies like being able to fab a chip or make a high-temperature jet turbine. So I think we're in agreement.

For a reference, here's a Bloomberg article:

Every two months my company disables work access on my android phone because it doesn't have the latest security updates. That's one reason why I'm considering an iPhone in the future.
LOL yeah my ringtone for all calls is silence.
The first point seems rather impulsive. Should we give up functional but old paradigms simply for innovation's sake, even if we know they work? Socrates clearly did not ever argue the topics brought up by Eco, so what you're saying is Eco should come up with a different way to express himself. Innovation is great, but why should anything not innovative in its method simply be disregarded?

The second point seems to be an argument against any social science in general, rather than a critique or analysis of the essay. If every political science discussion had to start with a justification of why such phenomena are studied in the first place, we would get nowhere. Should we not study "democracies" or "states"? Is anything not tangible not worthy of study?

This also ties in to my last point: it's very disingenuous to call fascism "not sensible" without any real argument for it. It's been a giant hurdle in the history of many nations, it makes sense to want to analyze it and understand it. If your argument is that it's not sensible as in fascism is a far too general concept for it to be an effective label, then I'd expect you to directly challenge the list proposed, as it seems to me Eco does manage to describe an acceptable way to do such labeling.
Lol and I’m sorry. I’d almost rather go with starlink at that point.
Except the use of Google Play is not a requirement. You can do your own distribution on your own terms and act as if Google doesn't exist.
Yeah, if Einstein hadn't been able to take out those full page ads in the Times relativity might never have gotten off the ground.
Here in Canada at TD Bank their "High Interest Savings Account" for $0 to $4,999.99 the interest rate is 0.000%. Highly deceptive for them to call it that with literally 0% interest.
Yes and in some countries those are separate. In countries where they aren't separated, like South Korea, they should be as it would improve the education.

> Do you think it is a good idea to create separate degree programs for teaching the "craft" of software engineering with a reduced dose of academia?

Sometimes it's a good idea but that usually has bad outcomes in the quality of education
> Specifically, I am envious of the people who have 120 FPS phones, they’re beautiful

The new iPhone has 120 FPS.
Consider it like this.

Sustainability is _only_ a waste management system that enables recycling rates of 90% or higher (which is damn hard). CO2 is also just one of many waste products, we totally dont care about, but _must_ to sustain our civilisation.

Long time Google fanboy here, and I'm honestly a hair's breadth away from buying an iphone 13.

I have had nexus/pixels phones since the gnex. I have evangelized android to for almost as long. I did ground work for google by pushing people into google's services. I have a day 1 pixel 6 pro. I pay for cloud storage and yt premium.

But to me google is just falling apart. I feel like they have lost their technology drive in order to pursue ideological ones. Their tech has become all half-assed with poor/no support. I cannot trust anything they make to be supported in the future anymore. RCS is still a disaster, my one friend on Fi with a pixel 5a still cannot get it working and Google/Fi has pretty said "We don't know".

I do not like Apple, but after almost 20 years a Google fanboy, I'm starting to like Google even less. So much so that I'll have to eat lots of shame from the many iphone people who questioned my android love for years.

*If anyone can convince me otherwise, please do*. I feel like the best thing that could happen is disposing of Sundar and getting someone who can refocus google on being a tech company devoted to making the best tech products.

It mentions phishing. Could mentioning Google in an add trigger something like this?

Ask HN: Non-fiction books written by people with lots of experience in the field
I see a lot of non-fiction recommendations that are mostly generalizations about something and references to source material they researched, and they turn out to be pretty hollow in terms of reading.

However, books that have been written by people who have worked years in that field or on that topic have mostly been a good experience.

Looking for some more of those types of books
Nevermind, looks like I had some conversion going on to get those files on my iPhone. It's irrelevant anyways, since AAC is audibly transparent to the human ear.
This is good news. Misinformation is cheap to produce and expensive to combat once it's out there. My opinion is that the only effective approach is to deplatform it entirely, as early in the process as possible.
Sure! Please shoot a quick email to hn@ycombinator.com, giving the HN URL for the article and sentence or two stating your concern.
But what's the rationale behind this specific $1 limit? If something were to keep me entertained for several hours with no advertising, I'd certainly consider that worth $1. Going down the free route would likely end me drowning in a sea of advertisements.
You’ve just described the Glass-Steagall act. It has a long and storied history.

It was created in response to the Great Depression, then repealed by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley act because money. Then the Dodd-Frank act tried to have it reinstated but failed, also because money.

You may already be familiar with all of this but mentioning in case you’re not.

(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass–Steagall_legislation)

There’s a quite brilliant documentary that came out in 2010, Inside Job, that covers this, but which was completely overshadowed by the much less informative The Big Short which came out 5 years later.
The point went over your head.
Is it just the extra digits you admire?
I get that but do people really need to pretend it is art to sit silently in a room full of people in a concert hall and notice the ambient sounds long with their thoughts and feelings. People who sit in meditation with others do this all the time. I suppose the concept is foreign to most Westerners so they need an artist to come alone and give it the stamp of approval.

"Let's have a moment of silence for those we have lost"

People understand the above and do it without complaint

"Let's sit quietly in meditation and notice our environment, thoughts and feelings. You may find it helpful to focus on your breath"

Most people grudgingly do this but find it boring and unnecessary

John Cage: "Listen to my piece 4' 33" which the musicians on stage won't play"

People: "Oh my God, John Cage is brilliant. What an amazing artist! I can't wait to tell my friends that I 'heard' this"

> good luck doing 500 mbit wireless reliably

Most routers and wifi adapters are crap. Buyers do rarely go beyond "wifi 5" or "wifi 6", and do not realize that there's much more.

The older Apple Macbook Pros (pre-2019) came with 3x3 MIMO ac adapters. If you had capable AP on the other side, you could reliably do gigabit with them. The newer ones have only 2x2 MIMO, just like the rest of the laptop market, so you will get only 600-700 Mbps (out of theoretical 866 Mbps).

If you are getting 500 Mbps and there's not a concrete wall between your client and the AP, something is quite wrong. Misconfigured AP, your client cannot do multiple streams (yes, there were adapters like that sold on the market), or just older/pre-ac AP or client.
If you make the assumption that they are using 100G switches or line cards with 32 ports, those ports can be broken out to 128x 25G ports. That comes out to ~$100,000 USD in revenue per 1U per year. Not too shabby.
Yes but "crypto" is also can be put under entire new asset class. It's slowly growing along with fiat based financial system.
The power usage on 10GB copper is nuts so most of the cheapest switches come with SPF cages.
That's pretty fascinating. I admit I find it kind of strange that only the encryption key was affected in this way, i.e. that finding the newly-correct key proved a fix to the issues, as opposed to fixing one issue out of many linked to such an event.

It made me wonder--what are the odds of that? What is the relative exposure area of the encryption key compared to the rest of the onboard assets which could have been mangled?
Unpopular fact: Trump is definetively not like Mussolini's or a fascist. He (Mussolini) was a disappointed Marxist, turned into a corporativist socialist. He did not have all the time in the world to carry out his project of totalitarianism, but he had already achieved enough.

Mussolini's policies were socialist, like those of Franco, Hitler and others, nothing to do with Trump. Biden is also not a fascist if we apply the textbook. My father and grandfather grew up with Mussolini.

There's an obsession to relate fascism with modern politics, and this article mainly can be applied to any modern president anywhere in the world
I switched recently, and honestly have found the experience on iPhone to broadly be worse. There are a few things that are a bit nicer, but the downgrade in the notifications system alone just tanks the experience.

That said I switched for mostly privacy reasons, so won't be going back.
Even without any of the more modern forms of deplatforming, defunding or ostracization, people have been concerned for at least several decades about an inability for new ideas to make inroads and change overall scientific consensus or understanding.

I am speaking of the idea often described as "science progresses one funeral at a time" - which Wikipedia informs me is sometimes known as "Planck's principle"

"science isn't supposed to work on consensus" lol yes, let's throw out the concept of peer review, all science is equal now everyone
> Yet Matrix is gaining traction while XMPP is not

Considering the way in which Matrix spreads unencrypted metadata (even rooms and participants in the rooms, let alone chat events) as far as possible across the network, this traction is quite insidious.
In professional live, when you are talking contractual provisions, after signsture, and during disputes the relationship is already ruined in most cases. And those conflicts are hardly ever litigated.
It's funny that we've gotten to the point that a "graphics-less GPU" is actually useful. Perhaps they should call it something else...
As much as I hate promoting Facebook products, "let's make a WhatsApp group" seems to be the socially-acceptable solution to this. Everybody has it installed and always seems to be happy to switch communication over to it if somebody in the group suggests it.
