Every new feature from Google is a middle finger to their users, then you get some corporate double speak about how it's all well and good and how it makes the product better.

Get a Fastmail account, I got one after I got tired of google breaking my IMAP settings every other week. They're cheap, they have most everything you'd need from an email provider, and they don't require a special app like proton.

You can use:

VAR=$(!!)

to accomplish something similar. Not by default of course.

It re-runs the command, so if not idempotent/etc it will not return expected results. Also when re-run, the command will not be in a tty context, so if the executable is sensitive to such things (e.g. `ls`), the output format might be different.
Ok, but individuals can all take these and other tests no? It is not only stereotyped assumptions around group averages applied to individuals.

It is also aversion or even policy regulation against even giving tests and acting on the results towards individuals, as this entails inevitable discrimination when the natural and unavoidable hierarchy of human abilities is observed.
Actually, I find that idea kinda funny and with some minor adjustments, I think it can be good parenting.

So maybe you don't want to throw the candy out of the window, because that is not the proper way to dispose candy. However, if you add an empty bag for you, where you put the candy every time the kids misbehave, the kids will probably learn how to preserve their stash. In addition, you might want to add some rules, how they can get the candy back which has landed in your bag (like every time you 'misbehave'). That way you would level the playing field and it might become a game.

After all, it is candy. Nothing the kids rely on to survive, but rather some pleasure drug.
Honest question. What do you not like about Dubai? Have you ever been there?
No, it appears the test is quite calibrated based on these HN comments. You got a bit more than half of them before starting to guess, so you got a slightly higher than average result.
So, at what point will there be a legitimate third option other than Google android phones (and associated ecosystem) and Apple iphones (and associatyed ecosystem)??? And, no, i don't mean rooting a phone, etc. to install Lineage or other alternative operating systems on it. I mean, i want to go out, buy a phone that is decent enough for the basics of what i need to do and is de-googled...not too crazy expensive like an iphone, and comes with legitimate support from a manufacturer. Its exhausting!

I’d argue that it’s no different from in-person unless you ban laptops and cell phones from the meeting.
Thanks for this. I hadn't considered the "total liberty" argument before. Congrats on all your successes.
Not standard at all. I believe YC sends rejection emails (never applied), and I once applied to a European incubator and they sent a friendly rejection email

Tests in 1946 didn't have the same types of controversy as in 2022.

Prior to standardized testing, college admissions was literally based on belonging to a club. Rich parents would send you to a prep school, and admissions was based on admissions officers knowing the prep school (and grades, recommendations, etc. there-from). It was introduced to allow anyone from any socioeconomic background, and more demographic backgrounds, to be admitted based on ability rather than wealth. At the time, admissions rates to elite schools weren't nearly as cut-throat. A poor kid could study hard, take a test, and go to Harvard.

They didn't make the world equal, but they made it /more/ equal.

I really don't think the cynicism is warranted. Institutions go obsolete.
> That's some artificial limitation made to force you into adding phone number to your account.

Agreed

> You can't use authenticator app to enable 2FA. I have no idea why SMS which is the least secure way to send information is a primary method and authenticator app which can be set up by scanning QR from the screen without sending any information at all is «secondary» and can only be used after you give your phone number.

The amount of people getting locked out of their account because they lost the phone with the auth app would be unacceptably large, is my guess. Like people lose their phones all the time. Simjackings are rare.
Money. Famously only valuable when it’s already been spent and you no longer hold it.
> but for a simple alarm or a timer, who would require online connectivity....

It's about the experience and ease of use. Sure I can set timers on my phone all day long or lookup conversions but the experience sucks compared to a voice interface. Open solutions like Alice, Mycroft, and Ada all kinda suck unless you leverage the same online services powering Google, Siri, and Alexa.

We have Amazon Echos and these are some of the situations where a voice assistant just works better than anything else:

- You're standing at the kitchen counter multiplying a recipe. It is easier and faster to say "Alexa, how many tablespoons is 9 teaspoons?" than almost anything else.

- You're making Thanksgiving dinner. "Alexa, set a mashed potato timer for 20 minutes. How much time is left on the Turkey Basting Timer?"

- The dentist recommends brushing your teeth for 2 minutes, I setup a routine so when my kiddo is brushing their teeth they can say "Alexa, I'm brushing my teeth." And Alexa will say "Starting the tooth timer" then make a silly noise every 30 seconds to indicate they need to switch brushing top inside to top outside to bottom inside to bottom outside.

- I'm wood working in the garage and need to multiply a dimension. You can't beat screaming "Alexa, what's 24 times 9/16ths?" and getting your answer without having to lookup from what you're doing, find your phone, or do the math in your head.

- You're putting the kiddo to bed and got home late from practice. So you both decide to let them sleep in a little. It's easier to say "Alexa, cancel the 6:30 alarm and set an alarm for 7 am." and Alexa might ask "Do you want to cancel all alarms or just tomorrow's" and you say "Just tomorrow's". No fiddling with the Alarm clock or remembering to adjust it the next evening.
If anyone has feedback would love to hear it.
Wait, you didn't want to add a phone number to a phone?
> all the parentheses are unnecessary too

That's not quite true. In Forth it is impossible to tell syntactically where the function calls are.

> it is the closest thing to Lisp machines experience you can get today.

I think Clozure Common Lisp running on a Mac (i.e. with the IDE) is pretty close as well.

But I don't begrudge anyone their Smalltalk. It's just not a good impedance match to my brain.

> Plans Are Worthless, But Planning Is Everything
The line drawn is the government should not be involved in medical decisions between doctor and patient. Women don't endure pregnancy for almost 9 months and then decide to have an abortion a week short of birth on a whim. Late stage abortions are due to medical problems with the fetus or the health of the mother. If people are personally against abortion, don't have one, but don't force your views on others when you have no idea of the personal and painful decisions that others have to make.
Yeah, I know, but I don’t want to re-run and I want it by default.
"If you can train for it, it's not an IQ test, period."

That's pretty much the opposite of how IQ tests work. You can train for any test, and prepping can definitely increase your score also on real IQ tests.

If you want to know your honest score, do just light preparation, if any. If you want an as high score as you can get, then treat it like you'd treat a SAT/GRE/GMAT/... But don't expect any of the benefits that studies might associate with high IQ scores to flow from this exercise. If you train IQ tests, you'll get better at doing IQ tests, that's it. I wouldn't encourage this behaviour. An IQ test is meant to test you on questions that you haven't seen before, anything else is just statistical noise.

Influencers who brag about how they "raised their IQ" with this or that technique (or supplements), are similarly mistaken about what those tests can and can't do.
I use Mullvad mainly for privacy but also to dodge EU cookie bullshit. The internet becomes so much better just by using a Swiss IP addres.
My team has (not entirely consistently) tried to encourage people to use the "raise hand" button in the video call software if someone would like to speak. The currently person talking can either pause, or finish up what they're saying and then hand things over to the person who raised their hand.
No need. You'll also find their donors on the list. Pointing out how the rules don't apply to these guys isn't really new or interesting. When was the last time a member of the GOP lost their seat because of acting against one of the party's supposed tenants of family values, small government, liberty, etc.? Their voters simply don't care.

I don’t understand what they expect Dubai to be doing around transactions. Their is only so much you can check when someone is buying a property and the money is being sent from abroad.

I bought property recently in another (less expensive) place and they ask about where you work and so on but say I just have money saved up they really have nothing to check. Say im retired can i not buy something now? No that would be pretty stupid. Journalists these days are beyond stupid.

Depends on where you live. In my neck of the woods, burner phones are illegal. It's (nominally) impossible to get a phone number without getting ID verification. This applies to physical sims, but also to online services à la Twilio.
I'm experienced in security and rust and I agree with mjg. I've probably written 100s of thousands of lines of Rust, and I've been in security for well over a decade.

None of what you said is even true, all of those patterns are trivial, except "back-references" which are very slightly non-trivial.

And none of it is relevant. We don't need another memory unsafe language. It's fine if it's a toy, but this obviously isn't. It causes real harm.

Hello friends, I posted here about ntfy before (https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29715464 for previous discussion), but I've added a ton of features, so I thought I'd share some updates.

For those who don't know, ntfy is a a tool that lets you send push notifications to your phone from any script or server using a simple HTTP PUT/POST requests. It's 100% open source and self-hostable, and has an Android app and a web app.

You can use it like this (more in the docs):

curl -d "Backup on $(hostname) complete" ntfy.sh/mytopic

I host free and open version on ntfy.sh, but you can host your own of course.

Since my last post, I added the following features: Publish messages as JSON, custom user actions via action buttons, ntfy:// deep links, ntfy support in Apprise (thanks to @caronc), translations into 13 languages in the web app and Android app, lots of example usages, e.g. with NodeRED, Gatus, Sonarr, Radarr; a super cool chat-style message bar in the web app, and more.

I am happy to answer any and all questions, and I'd love some feedback or new ideas.

Tony Hoare stated that language creators should be responsible for the bugs that users of those languages create. Is Tony Hoare a rust evangelist, or a "moral crusader" ?
The idea was pushed by the buddhist leadership of a buddhist country - Japan. Can't claim it was anti-buddhist when buddhists were behind it. It wasn't anti-buddhist, it was anti suboptimal diet.

It's something that is true everywhere - US, Europe, Japan, etc. As people ate a healthier diet with meat, the people grew taller and smarter on average.

> NOTE: I do use an Android phone --- but only after it has been thoroughly de-Googled --- starting from a stripped down, bare metal device that won't even power up.

You're going to have to explain to me. Particularly the "starting from a stripped down, bare metal device that won't even power up. Because this sounds excessive and a bit over the top.
I didn't do actual scripting there, but through the gui you could set up events to happen on various triggers. That really sparked something in me.
At my last employer, there was a very clear 10% jump in productivity when we went home, and we were still ordered back. There were tax implications to having an office unoccupied that played into that, but I'd bet the bigger reason was that a lot of managers had nothing to justify their salary by while the introverts they used to manage got along better than before.

Profitable for the company != profitable for a given manager.
I'm a pretty fast hiker most of the time, and I find that my pace almost always works out to 2 mph once I figure in breaks and miscellaneous stops or delays. Like fishing out sunglasses, taking bio breaks, removing or adding layers, or enjoying the view for a few minutes. (Granted we're not necessarily talking about hiking.)
The tit for tat exists because there is nothing left binding your country together.

Do you not see there are now people with complete, diametrically opposed views on morality in your country?

The exact same thing, one person will look at it and see murder and another see nothing wrong. One will see transexuals in kindergarten and say “how brave” other will see a nightmare horror. One looks at your very government and sees either the far left or the far right.

Do you not see there is no such thing as the american people now?

Why do you keep pretending you are a country when you are clearly not. Why do you want to live with the other in the same country? Why do you want to force them to live with you?
Sure, it was once common practice to have a list of supported platforms on your homepage, but you have to excuse people for not knowing that. Most people just get their apps (including Linux apps) from an "app store" sort of thing.

That said, the download page is where I'd definitely expect something like this, and the download page is useless. It tells you that various Linux distros have Pitivi in their package managers (which ones? links?), and has a Flatpak download (what's flatpak?)
I bought Pixel phones for my wife and I because the price and ease of use to save my kids pictures was absolutely worth it.

I haven't found a service that functions as well as Google Photos. She takes pics and I take pics, and we have a shared account that backs it all up without any messing about. I have done precisely ZERO tech support for my wife since buying this service and phones and I will probably never leave.

This is one of those cases where the pirates really are providing a superior product. Same-week translations that are often superior to the official ones, which come months (or worse) later.

Some publishing houses like alphapolis are so backwards they don't even license English releases at all. Even ones that have gotten a popular and officially translated anime adaptation.
> I think the choice of words here will be seen as laughable and antiquated in the future.

Or we will see countries like Dubai, Malta, Cyprus and other tax havens as collaborators and sanction them into oblivion.

Places that allow the rich to prevent themselves from being taxed by their home countries do not deserve existence. The amount of money laundered and stored away in tax havens is the money that used to fund social services, healthcare or living wages before the world allowed free and unimpeded movement of money. We need to get this money back under our control - if only to prevent social unrest from the 2/3rd of the US which have less than 1000$ in liquid savings.
Yeah, weird...'contractor' as an employment category by definition means that a company doesn't deal with you as a regular employee. What exactly did these people think they signed up for?
Which app and Android version is it? I've never had that issue where it prompts me every time without letting me save the permission, although if I recall requesting one time access is different than requesting permanent access for some permissions that an app has to declare, so maybe the app never declared the latter. (I admit, this is sort of silly)
Paramount+ Adds 6.8M Subscribers in First Quarter
I think you're underestimating just how disconnected the world of 1946 was.

In 2022, it's awfully easy to find people into whatever you're into, and you can talk to them around the world. In 1946, if you were a physics nerd and you ran into a chemistry nerd or biology nerd, you'd be excited to have a friend who shared your interest in /science/.

As a footnote: Performance on a test like Mensa's is strongly culturally-mediated. I suspect most people can score decently with a bit of practice and training. I think the major question was:

- Do you want to talk about football and sports?

- Dating and gossip?

- Intellectual stuff

A lot of this also had to do with how people spend their time. It's a lot easier to be an intellectual / nerd in 2022 than in 1946. I have the world's information at my fingertips.
Yes! Just make a discord username, and you can 'explore' for communities. Find one you like - for example, Big Hat Logan, there are quite large communities for Dark Souls and Elden Ring respectively. Then just start dropping hot takes! It's just like this place! I'm kidding. You should probably lurk for a while until you understand the community vibe.

That's going to be a lively place though. You might wanna try searching for smaller communities for more niche things.

That's for discord, anyways. My wife uses Facebook for her things (much to my chagrin).
You mistake what the issue is in this thread. This isn’t D vs R or the 2 sides of the abortion legality issue.

This thread is about whether there is hypocrisy among the lawmakers and whether law should allow such sensitive data to be available for purchase. Data of this sensitive nature are fairly costly to violate for people governed by HIPAA, but few or no penalties for others.

I’m curious if any existing blackmail or cyberstalking statutes could cover the likely uses of these data.

I don't understand why new languages ever use the :: notation for scoping. It's hard to type (holding shift for two keystrokes) and visually noisy.

Obviously, C++ set the precedent and people are familiar with it. But if you're starting a completely new compiler, why make the same old mistakes with syntax?
QGIS will, for raster basemaps, fetch the detailed version to get you your high DPI detail but this of course involves stitching together lots of tiles from the basemap's lower zoom levels - which then have small labels. For raster maps which are not labelled, it makes complete sense and produces a much better result than the alternative (picking the "scale based" zoom level and interpolating).

This is kind of the only "right" answer when dealing with raster basemaps. It's either pixellated or going to be rendered "too small" for the zoom level.

Vector basemaps don't have this problem, and QGIS supports them, so that's the way to go if you can get data. QGIS can then render at the required DPI in full clarity but with elements scaled/positioned appropriately.
