Other than laptops and desktops (4 total) I have many custom devices I do embedded firmware consulting. Android touch-panel kiosk, pool pump controller, various phones and portable devices for testing code, auto-driving car network controller.

How about skhd? https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd

I use it to simply bind hotkeys to shell commands in a single config file.

Given the full power of the shell, you can even use AppleScript (through osascript) if you want to automate the UI/system like AutoHotkey does.

It can also send key events using the -k flag so you can remap keys to other key combinations.
Let me lay it out more abstractly:

The goal (I assume! You haven't spelled this out.) is to reduce the rate of sexual assault between cellmates in prison.

The system has to determine who can end up in the same cell. Prison wardens have access to some data about prisoners. The question is which data is used to partition prisoners.

Your claim appears to be that one prisoner having a penis and the other having a vagina is a strong predictor of an increased odds of sexual assault.

My point is that that claim requires some level of supporting evidence since the widespread accounts of prison rape in same-sex prisons implies that simply avoiding penises and vaginas in the same cell does not appear to be sufficient to lower the chances of rape.

Implicit in your comment is only looking at this from the perspective of the woman in the cell who doesn't have a penis. But the other cellmate has to end up somewhere and the overall goal should be to reduce the rate of sexual assault for all prisoners, not just cis ones.

So, if you don't allow trans women into women's cells, where do you put them? And do you really think putting a trans woman in a cell with a male prisoner is going to lead to a lower incidence of assault?

Yes if it's a service many other services depends on, but not so much if it's near the leaves of the service dependency tree. In which case the system may still be up with reduced functionality.

Many people didn't have a choice. Governments at the start are like mafias and will fight you until you acquiesce.

The history of the US is riddled with federal government takeovers and increased taxation of people who did not want it.
Don't disagree - the "dark money" c4's have (ironically) been a complaint on the left for a while.

That said, this is still a real shift for the ACLU - this type of campaigning is not something they historically really did. So the push to actively campaign more is newish for them.

It's def where the money is though - the MAGA orgs, the NRA, the ACLU - in some ways they are just following the money.

Yep, I have all those books behind me too :)

I do think there is space for a new category, or way of thinking about these businesses though. There's lots of great "regular / non-tech business" advice and books etc on how to operate in a non-VC way. But we're still talking about startups / tech companies here. So it's how do you marry the advice on operating a regular business with many of the dynamics of a VC backed business (that is, competative advantage, compounding growth, large market, high margins, attracting talent etc).
When I need to orient myself better and especially when outdoors on foot I prefer mapy.cz, they have also a very nice Android app (I don't know if they have one for iPhones) which also gives offline maps. I think they at least partially use OSM, but very nice presentation and smoothness is there. Much better than OSM-And (which last time I used a few years ago).

> Windows launched after the Mac, into an era of slightly more powerful processors and better understanding of user behavior on truly multi-application devices. These differences led Microsoft to adopt an OS-level unified window history model.

Yet Microsoft seems to be walking away from this model.

The Windows Taskbar was built on that, but has since diverged quite a bit from that model. The Windows 95 taskbar originally showed one entry per Window, until Windows XP started grouping Windows together when the Taskbar gets too crowded. Then Windows 7 started hiding the labels and made the Taskbar into a combined program launcher/window switcher, which now made the behavior of clicking on the icon itself very inconsistent, depending on the state of the program:

- when no instance of the program is running - shows the launching program animation and launches the program and brings the window on top

- when program has one window minimized - shows the unminimizing animation and brings the window on top

- when has one window not in focus - brings the window on top

- When program has one window on top - shows the minimizing animation and minimizes the window

- When program has multiple windows - opens the Taskbar Live Preview

I've been a relatively big ACLU donor, big enough to have been appointed an "Individual Giving Officer." I've met with some of their leadership.

They've begun taking positions against individual civil rights. They've always been anti-2nd amendment, which I can understand, but this has escalated to the point that I think they're often on the wrong side of 1a issues as well.

I won't donate to them anymore. I regret that I did in the past.
I'm baffled by people who says things like this. I make heavy use of both "Not Interested" and "Don't recommend Channel". They don't do as much as I would like (why oh why does Youtube insist on thinking I'm interested in obscure Rap/Hip Hop?), but I can clearly see recommendations shift over time. Marking any single video doesn't seem to do much, but marking 5-10 similar videos (mostly) does something.

Which was typically the next day. Trying to follow the Trump White House was exhausting.

Trump knew how to play the media like a fiddle. Say something outrageous, get loads of coverage, before anybody has time to really think about it or offer rebuttals he says something else outrageous and the first statement is instantly old news and forgotten.

News organizations made huge profits while Trump was in office, and their ratings have slipped considerably since electing President Biden and especially since Trump was kicked off of Twitter.

Then you interpreted it incorrectly. I'm not inclined to teach you via HN about a subject that's well documented by resources I've already linked.
I'm all for a monorepo – or to a lesser degree, utility functions that are re-usable across components. That's not what I'm talking about.

Running NextJS as a handful of lambdas is fine, but you still likely need to initialize other services in the background (like databases)... otherwise you have a monolithic front-end... as in: "my monolithic front end talks to my monolithic back end, so I really have two micro/macro services", and maybe I should investigate breaking the FE/BE down into smaller components".

sure, you can use pgbouncer, etc. but it becomes sorta cost prohibitive to run a few apps.
At my first job I inherited a 250K LoC monolith which I had to continue to develop and also operate. It wasn't great but I got by. I don't think I could have managed if that 250K LoC had been strewn across a dozen microservices with all the accompanying complexity and extra degrees of freedom in deployment and operation.

SoA is superior when you have large numbers of devs coordinating and working on the same product. For smaller teams monoliths seem to be the way to go.

Google Maps has actually led me wrong far more than Apple Maps, obv. anecdotal. I feel like Google Maps has way too much ML applied to it, and now that is coming back to bite it hard. The last time I used google maps was on a forest road, following directions to a remote-ish campsite. It literally had mistaken a light path through the trees as a road, and then had us try to turn into the bushes. Looking at the map of the area is was clear the road finding algorithm has mistaken a lot of small paths and tracks of light colored trees (!!!) as valid roads.
What does the author think of index investing in this context then? I concede that currencies should function differently than the stock market, but this is exactly how long-term stock investing is meant to work. I suppose I'm missing the point.
I appreciate the sentiment, but I humbly ask that you don't comment about votes. It's against the guidelines, and imo it's just a waste of an indentation level. But the worst part is that you cannot know what the number of votes will be in the future, so your comment is only relevant the exact moment you post it.

I like some of what the article proposes, but some parts leave me skeptical. The author sketches out an industry of funds to buy and scale small businesses to Middelstand level. I think one of the reasons for Germany's strong Mittelstand is that many of these are privately owned, sometimes even family-owned, and can take a long-term view on business and innovation. I lack the imagination to see how the proposed kinds of funds could be content with dividends year after year rather than the exits I suspect they'd prefer.

I wish there were more dividends-only VCs...
I wish window switching worked in the same way as app switching, though. The former acts like a stack while the latter acts like a queue - I have no idea why.

Ask HN: Has Gmail's “Important” feature gotten substantially worse?
Today I received an email with no subject line and no body from an email address I've never once interacted with in my life. This was marked "Important according to Google magic." Meanwhile last week an email addressed specifically to me from the CEO of the company was down in the "Everything Else" category.

Anyone else seeing this?
I think the opposite. Musk owning Twitter makes it a much more appealing company to work for.

With window-specific menus, I can directly click on and open the menu button of another app/window without first having to focus it first to see the menu options. I find that to be more intuitive.

I have always been a windows user and my intuition was shaped accordingly. So to me that is the obvious and correct thing to do.

At some point, you can't gracefully handle bugs in other peoples code. If a function you call causes a SEGFAULT, in the vast majority of software, you're not expected to handle that. That's an invariant error, and you probably want some way to detect that it happened so you can fix it, but it's not reasonable to ask every caller of every function to handle that (in the same way we don't consider "the earth blew up" to be a reasonable thing to protect against, even though it its technically possible). There's simply not enough time and money to protect against every possible edge case in most software (NASA projects aside).

The argument here is that network issues are exceedingly common in microservice environments and so aren't actually an edge failure case, so you actually have to worry about them way more than you would worry about a function in a different module causing a SEGFAULT.

> Disclaimer - I have invested 1% of my savings into stable cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum etc.

... well, this individual appears not to know the definition of stable, but do go on.

> Cryptocurrency returns are a zero-sum game i.e. if 1 person gets a $10 profit, another person has to lose $10.

First, equities are positive-sum games, which makes them, on the whole, in the fullness of time, a strictly better investment. It is not true that someone has to lose for someone else to win in the equity markets. Shareholder returns are derived from the business itself.

Second, proof-of-work currencies are negative sum, since the miners have to expend unfathomable quantities of electricity and generate mountains e-waste. This costs money. This money is obtained by selling the block reward, which puts negative price pressure on the cryptos. So not only are the only source of returns other gamblers, there's also a hole in the bucket. In gambling parlance, that's the rake in a game of poker.
What's the connection between the menu bar and window switching?

“ to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.”

You see the word future there, don’t you? It’s right there. Read it. “to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.”

Al-Awlaki was an AQ cheif propagandist and recruiter. It’s entirely applicable. But I guess calling for the death of Americans as part of AQ is totally irrelevant, right?

And just to reiterate, so it sticks with you this time!

Such killings have occurred in contexts as varied as the Civil War and the Cold War, based on powers vested in Article II of the Constitution (which makes the president the commander in chief of the armed forces) and upheld by the 1866 Supreme Court decision Ex Parte Milligan (which confirms that “command of the forces and the conduct of campaigns” rests with the president).

You have absolutely no understanding of application of case. You don’t seem to be able differentiate between powers of governance and war powers.

In this context, your same tired statement is completely irrelevant, as the situation doesn’t ever arrive at, or need to ask such questions.

Nope, that doesn't do it. If I have 2 Chrome windows and 3 terminal windows and 2 text editor windows open on MacOS, there is no way to merely switch from a Chrome window to a specific terminal window. You have to switch to the terminal application, which raises all 3 terminal windows to the top of the window stack on whichever display they are on, then switch between terminal windows. To enable the basic feature of switching directly between windows, you have to install 3rd party software.

Not really, no. Equities, and equity indices, are comprised of productive businesses. They are positive sum because investor returns are generated by non-investor participants (the customers of the business buying goods and services).

A better analogy between crypto in traditional markets is some sort of wild-west futures market and options market. Index futures are provably zero-sum. Options are negative-sum for buyers, if I'm not mistaken.
