I have a hard time with this because it's not like the tyranny of 20% of the population, elections are all pretty damn close to 50:50 overall much of the time. People have a hard time accepting that about half the population voted for things they really hate and choose instead to attack the small percentage of difference as the unfairness responsible for all their woes instead of the other high-40s percentage of people who want want happens when the majority loses.

Currently, arguably, democrats in power in the senate had fewer popular votes than republicans. (48 dem + 2 independent popular vote was about 1.5 million less than the 50 republican senators, with VP deciding ties... well it's just not so clean cut a minority-in-power situation)

(I blame most of the current situation on democrats being bad at politics and not having the guts to do things they should have.)

There's no way to be completely fair, the current setup is there in order to prevent several kinds of runaway power processes and really it has worked quite well for a very long time (unless you expect people to just be angels then go pick a dictator you think will be good).
i dont know if it means anything - the tech didnt go away

what happened was tech was wildly profitable and became overvalued. tons of capital is invested in US tech stocks thats why compensations are through the roof. but the stock inflation did not reflect technological progress, but rather too much capital, both printed us dollars and foreign capital (europe has no tech sector worth investing in sadly). Companies seemed to care more about making bank from an IPO than making actual money. That is going to change now, and we ll have to see some actual moneymaking tech.

It's also been at least 10 years now that HN is all about bloated frameworks that make tech dumb-proof but not more capable. i hope this will end now as well

It’s often the tax, my parents have premium bonds and cite the tax benefits as they have maxed their ISA.
I have yet to see a world in which local file access, background services, local notifications, timers, alarms, native media controls, etc, works as well on web as in native apps. A lot of it is there "in theory", but web tech has the achilles heel of only allowing stuff that would be safe to have in a random website that some asshat links you on twitter.

Of course this is only relevant if that deeper plumbing into the OS is needed, and of course it's quickly changing. Perhaps the day comes when web apps can truly be first class citizens in all major OSes, but it ain't here yet.
I just knew the recent (a few years ago) announcement that dentists no longer recommended flossing (allegedly for lack of positive effect) was subterfuge to drum up more business.
Live in California? The candidates for (Republican|Democratic) parties are wildly different in their ability and likelihood to do a good job. A 30 yearold candidate of the same party as a 50 yearold are going to have vastly different social networks, favors to lean on, money, appearance, etc. Picking the person is a much better choice to make than the party.

Nah, watch the video, he's Hispanic. (Of course racial classifications have no real meaning, but ime Hispanic people are generally - bar some Spaniards - 'typed' as non-white, comparable to Asians or Native Americans. And certainly a minority in US terms.)

ETA: He's also deaf, fwiw, with regard to the minority point.

ETA2: Hmm, I may be wrong about the exact details. It looks like he's a research scientist at Google, and, judging by the name, possibly Russian. But the same non-Caucasian non-''white'' point applies. (The Spanish voiceover and subtitles confused me - it's not his voice at the start, whereas his own 'deaf voice' makes any accent hard to identify.)

Well, they're not supposed to be the same clusters. The reason people develop new methods is to surpass the old ones.

I'm just saying that the method described in the link seems to be exactly what you are describing: using document embedding vectors as input to soft clustering mechanisms akin to LDA. Of course it does not interface perfectly with the theoretical underpinnings of LDA because those are quite constrained to tf-idf (generally count-based) inputs.

As an aside, "TFA" translates to "the fucking article" and is a reference to the classic Internet acronym "RTFM" standing for "read the fucking manual". Both are passive-aggressive-cum-colloquial ways to imply that answers are in places you would expect to find them, if only you go to read the source.

Someone expressed a problem they have which having a map helps them with, the reply was that people who need maps are lazy (despite the existence of maps suggesting that needing them is endemic to human existence).

> 1) A felon can in fact legally manufacture certain firearms, such as working replica black powder rifles and pistols. These are not covered under federal law.

That thread was not discussing "replica black powder rifles." It was discussing stuff like the FGC-9 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FGC-9), under the assumption that guns like that were illegal for felons to possess.

> Your whole argument is a red herring. None of this is probable cause for possessing drugs.

I never said nor thought it was "probable cause for possessing drugs." It's evidence of an attitude, and attitude affects the probability of certain behaviors that you may not have reported in your account.
People should have the right to choose their own "threat model". Google has a threat model. A computer user may have a threat model. It is absurd to assume they will always be the same. The interests of Google may conflict with the interests of the computer owner.

Google wants to choose the threat model for everyone. There is no opt-in or opt-out. One size does not fit all.

Would enjoy more details on how ESNI/ECH/whatever will be used to exert "absolute control". SNI is certainly being used for censorship, but would like to know how ESNI can be used in similarly malicious ways.

Using DoH run by a third party is optional, as is using traditional DNS from a third party. One can still utilise these protocols with localhost servers. Computer owners have ample storage space today for storing DNS data. I use locally stored DNS data. I put the domain to IP address information in map files and load them into the memory of a localhost proxy.

Public scans from Rapid7 used to be a good public source of bulk DNS data in addition to public zone file access through ICANN, e.g., czds.icann.org. (A variety of third party DoH servers can be use to retrieve bulk DNS data as well.) Alas, Rapid7 have recently decided not to share the DNS data they collect with the public anymore.
What stops an attacker from generating millions or billions of requests to your bucket, generating unaffordable bills from the class B charges?

When using the "free" cache product, solving this is Cloudflare's problem - they have a lot of incentives to stop people from being able to do that as it would otherwise cost them money.

However, when using the R2 product, Cloudflare sure would be incentivized to do whatever they can to make all these requests succeed so they can bill you for them.

Before someone tries bringing up their rate limiting product, that is more than an order of magnitude more expensive than R2.
> On the other hand, I guess words like fatass have this same problem of equating the person with something the person possesses.

On the third hand, I'm not sure that "fatass" really means "your ass is fat" specifically; I've always understood it to mean "you are fat, and an ass." That is, I take it in this respect to be like "dumbass": "you are dumb, and an ass", not "your ass is dumb".
It’s a shock to me as well. I do think this direction leads to more revenue for them long term though. Clearly the Windows desktop isn’t quite enough for their future plans so they’ve got to play nice with emerging platforms, or something. (Sounds more like 2013 logic but you get the idea…)
If you’ve left enough room, you’re not part of the pile up. Kind of by definition…
It seems like it’s hard to believe you’re engaged in honest debate when you argue that all of liberal America is working together to enable pedophiles.

Do we have any specifics on how the perf compares to Aurora? Is the 2x mentioned on the blog based on any specific benchmark?
For the vast majority of (mobile) apps, the benefit of being able to be built from a single code base outweighs being slightly behind vendor capabilities. Particularly things like there where it doesn't come up in some apps and relatively few people actually notice/care about it in those it does.
The datacenter focus here probably just means that $$$$ did the talking somewhere. AKA some large customer/former customer/potentially former customer said "open source or else" and they decided that having a couple people clean up, and push the special bits into the firmware/etc was a good way to solve the problem and keep $ALTERNATIVE at bay for the next generation or two.
Sure, but we could have separate rules for changing how the voting works, compared to the day to day operation of the groups. Also, on the good end, maybe the 1% have some amazingly good ideas that the other side would never implement otherwise.

You're right, I removed a couple of snarky remarks that were unnecessary.
That may help, but I suspect it will not be enough. Perhaps limiting people to mutual relationships (can’t follow without a follow back) and a maximum following/followers count of 256 to avoid parasocial relationships? (Only semi joking)
For what it’s worth Dart is hands down the nicest OOP language I’ve ever used in my opinion.

It’s like they took all the good things about JS and Java and cut out all the bad parts. What’s left is basically Dart.

I think there is an aspect to the recent fixation on trauma that is a response to the tightly curated personas that many present online. Not everyone can/wants to display that "successful" appearance, and some choose to flip the script and emphasize their suffering, which it turns out can garner just as much attention.

That's not what gerrymandering does. No districting scheme forces the elected representative to do what the voters want. Once they get elected, they have their term, and can vote however they want barring expulsion or recall.

Gerrymandering is where you draw up districts such that the voting power of people who won't vote for you is minimized. It doesn't have to result in homogeneous districts. The point is to maximize your party's voting power as durably as possible.
I know this was sarcasm, but sadly, it is one of the better ways to handle this.
For me, this is the part where Supabase being purely a Postgres implementation is a real strength. Supabase gives you access to the underlying database directly via a standard Postgres connection, so you can use literally any tool you want for database migrations.

Downside to the direct access being that there's no pretty Web UI for it - but I think that's both a pro and con (it sometimes bothers me how much effort they put into their UI, from an purely opportunity-cost perspective).
When RedHat officially supported a piece of hardware, and your large enterprise software officially supported RedHat, it was a pretty good setup.

Lots of things which are otherwise a mess in Linux just weren't.

Of course much of my experience on this was with things like $10k per seat software on a $5k workstation or similar.

One of the reasons containerization is so popular is poorly supported software (on ubuntu mostly) just being broken and hard to work with combined with a pretty bad way to write and manage packages (apt).
That won't work for HTTPS unless you decrypt and encrypt it, which is less efficient, or not use HTTPS URLs, which will break many other things (and also has some inefficiencies when using with stuff that does use HTTPS), etc.

You said "They for some reason didn't seem to want to use the right workflow", which by my lights manages to be both loaded and dismissive (if that was the goal, well played). I pointed out that the "some reason" is right there in the post, and you doubled down. I'm not sure why you did; you could have just said, "oh, interesting, thanks" and I'd have said "pip pip! cheerio!" but if you want instead to... uh... explore the contours of this controversy? I'm always game, which is what you're experiencing now.

If you want to keep me invested in a programming discussion, one very good way to do it is to imply that you can't for the life of you understand why someone wouldn't want to vendor Capstone.
Pretty interesting way of combining open source with cloud infrastructure implementations. I love how open source implementations on cloud providers are going beyond the typical I install and manage an open source package on your VM. Looking forward to the next generation of managed services like this.
Anyone should be able to submit new boundaries to break up a large area into the required districts. It should be accepted automatically if; the populations are equal based on the last official census, no boundaries pass through a residential property, the total length of all the boundaries is less than the current divisions.
"The United States is a republic, not a democracy" is a meme started by the John Birch Society that spread to the broader conservative movement and beyond, losing much of its coherency and substance. Now it's just become a hollow rebuttal to [often equally hollow] claims of anti-democratic policies or opinions. But those who have received the meme tend to understand "republic" as having a far more specific definition (centering on Birch Society political philosophy) than in general discourse, including historic discourse--the Founding Fathers used the terms "democracy" and "republic" more loosely, including giving republic the meaning you ascribe (which, I think, is the more correct literal definition), but also sometimes using them interchangeably or at least ambiguously.
This is a straw man, and also not entirely accurate. Darwin is BSD, and in theory just as useful as BSD, or FreeBSD, NetBSD, and useful to developers, and to anyone that can figure out how to install it and use it. [1] Meanwhile, Windows without hardware less than 2 years old is absolutely worthless. Thus, Linux.

The way it atleast used to be framed is that web is a fallback target. Meaning if the target device isn't running Linux, Windows, macOS, iOS or Android (unlikely), then hey, you can atleast build a passable version that will run in a browser.

I don't know if this has changed, but I know only a mad man would try to build a proper website in Flutter. It's not the tool for the job.

Thanks for sharing! The design looks really slick.

As a hobbyist Flutter developer who hasn't figured out how to make Flutter apps look remotely appealing yet, it's been cool poking around your code and trying to learn from it. Bloc and Cubit look especially interesting.
This might not be obvious in anyway if you’re not pretty deep in the Dart ecosystem but I’ve never seen anyone pay as much attention about building a good long term language as that team.

They put crazy amounts of thought and effort into how they evolve it.

Their entire strategy as far as I know was to intentionally aim for “boring and predictable” so that no matter how large or complicated your application got that you would never outgrow it.

Then they built a bunch of really nice tooling and DX on top of it.

It’s genuinely a pleasure to work with in my experience.
maybe Lagos, Nigeria DOES have the most unicorns...!
To clarify what was said by the other respondents, "political maps" referring to sovereign state borders is a term composed of two words (and is probably one word in some other languages?), while "political maps" referring to maps of politics is two terms composed to express a modification of the idea of a map (which is almost always a political map in the first sense unless otherwise stated).
Right so that's pretty much the same thing on the extreme other side of the spectrum. Both of them sit on either side of my coffee table. Robb Report sits in the middle as a joke.
> ...absolutely nothing of value to society.

Are you serious? I am interested to hear your perspective.
This is what works for me too. My ability to recall information from material I consume took a big hit after years of reading things online that can be forgotten inconsequentially, with no direct implications in real life and no post-reading discussion with peers or teachers such as in a school or academic environment.

What I found is that without a direct challenge to your understanding after reading something, be it through formalised tests, questions or social competition, you forget to learn. Your attention and learning mechanisms become defective.

Asking yourself a few simple questions about what you just read and how it is useful or important to you helps a lot.
EU and NSA, same actors, different starting conditions
I think the decision of which cross platform technology to use mostly depends on a team's preferred tech stack.

C++ -> QT

C#/.NET -> MAUI/Blazor

JS/Web -> React.Native/Electron

Dart -> Flutter

This is what I think is holding back Flutter -- that it wasn't built on an incumbent technology. Because Dart doesn't have quite the following, it has to evangelize itself a bit more than the other options.

This is a really common failure pattern of people with a history of excelling in relatively explicit systems (e.g. grades at school).

Reading can actually help a lot here. "Influence" by Cialdini, "How to win friends and influence people" by Carnegie, or the "Gervais Principle" by Rao decent intros to some relevant concepts (though each has problems, particularly Rao's book).

Once you have a framework of understanding incentives, cognitive traps, and the tools most people use to navigate these kinds of political games it gets a lot easier to grasp what's going on (being a good player is, IMO, much harder)
Common Lisp's condition system arguably proves your point.
"HTTP Toolkit gives you one-click HTTP(S) interception, inspection & mocking for any Android app."

There's kind of a vested interest here.

It would probably be sufficient to allow cert bypass in a desktop Android phone emulator, such as Android Studio. That's intended for debug and test. Nobody uses that for non-debug use by mistake.
No, it is 100% being framed as "You can build your app once and deploy it everywhere" with everywhere including web. It's sorta maddening, IMO. There are certain types of apps I could see using Flutter for (basically, ones that would lean heavily on canvas anyways, games, drawing, etc.)
Why not solve the problem of gerrymandering by getting rid of the "winner takes all" property?

E.g. instead of having 100 districts selecting 1 representative using the winner-takes-all principle, which are very sensitive with respect to gerrymandering, make 10 districts where each one sends 10 representatives, where the distribution of representatives approximates the distribution of the submitted votes.

This should decrease the problem a lot.
