And here's the rub. I personally don't need the telephoto lens on the mini. But I tell you, after experiencing high refresh rate on a phone, it is terribly difficult to go back.

Apple touts their variable refresh rate for better use of battery than competitors - surely they could put it on the mini and still get it through a day of use.

Ask HN: Does Bing try to hack my website?
Hi HNers,

In my logs I found this:

* script '/var/www/padiracinnovation.org/alfa.php' not found or unable to stat, referer: www.bing.com*

My web site receives lots of weird requests from unlikely places, yet it's the first time Bing seems implicated.

I am aware this is probably some nice trick yet I fail to understand it.

Any opinion?
Tether is used by Americans, transacting with Americans on American soil, pegging itself to the American dollar, using American dollars as reserves, using the internet which is controlled by America, holding reserves in a banking system largely controlled by America...

Tether.to lists a US address and phone number. Their ip returns a cloudflare ip in California.

They are definitely subject to US law. Pretty sure the US could do things like have them arrested in their home countries, extradited, have their bank accounts seized, etc. I suspect the US could also seize all US dollars without the consent of any foreign nation as well, seems like a natural way to defend a currency. Hard to claim you're backed by US dollars in that case.
I never said that python is a bad language. In fact it is my favorite language and I probably have written more python code than any other language.

That has nothing to do with it being slow though. And as I said, all those machine learning code rely on numpy (which relies on LAPACK which is not written in python) or highly optimized cuda kernels (which again is not written in python).

System calls tend to have a _very_ basic calling convention. Typically up to six arguments, of which all of them are integers or pointers. No floating-point values. It's fairly easy to translate such calls.

Even if translation is non-trivial, there are only a finite number of system calls (hundreds). It's not hard to provide bindings for those.
I asked what the role was in the comment you are replying to. Do you have data to back up the "huge swath" assertion? Certainly there are a few individual companies that have been able to provide specialized roles a $380k base salary, and companies who have been able to provide that and above on total comp thanks to an amazing run on equity value over the past 10 years. I don't think anyone is arguing that there are situations when this happens, that's not the point. It's irregular, it's naive to think that is the norm.

The OP specified salary- if they're referring to total comp, that'd be an important distinction for them to make in the future. Its anybodies guess what the actual value of equity in a total comp package will be a year from now. As an example, if you took a $380k TC package at Shopify 6 months ago and 40% of that was equity, it's now looking like $280k.

> books reflect natural light instead of emitting light. This is fundamentally different

But do not forget that there are other technologies around: EPD, OLED do not quite overlap with that general idea. And both call for maximum contrast (EPD to reach a decent threshold for contrast, OLED to get a completely mute background on one pole and to be energy efficient on the other). Edit: I forgot "projectors" (there where the issue of contrast is nightmare).

> maximum contrast ... Not only was there not really a choice when it came to books

Not really. Try reading a printed book with non-black text. Your "eyes" should tell you it's "not good".
> This still doesn't change how many BTC are in circulation.

It absolutely does. I can get a loan at an exchange while the original owners of those BTC still have it listed under their accounts. So multiple people can trade with the same coins, as if they had been copied.

> When the fractional-reserve imaginary bitcoin implodes, it might even increase the price of actual bitcoin?

Unknown. Perhaps.

In this specific case, it's a great example of how Google's attempts to keep people on Google has made search worse.

It's showing this result as a featured snippet because it's easy to distil into steps, and Google is hoping you'll just read the result and not leave Google.

The real 'no.1 result' is this much better article from a trusted UK-based motoring organization: https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/advice/car-maintenance/how-to-ch...

Of course, Google's attempts to stop you leaving, and hoover up as much of the ad market as possible, also drives publishers to ever more desperate things to make money.

The wording seems to imply that if, on a yearly whim, someone at Google decides to "empanel" a security assessment team, you have no choice, you will not necessarily be asked permission and you will be paying that invoice whether or not you needed that assessment.

Do you have evidence - in writing - to the contrary from a Google official?

Abridged wording and my non-lawyer interpretation below in case I'm not clear:

> Every app that [accesses Gmail and also accesses other servers] is required to go through a security assessment from Google empanelled security assessors. [...]

> In order to maintain access to restricted scopes, the app will need to undergo this security assessment on an annual basis, [... costs usually] between $10,000 - $75,000 (or more) [...]

> This fee may be required whether or not your app passes the assessment and will be payable by the developer."
I’ll be bookmarking this for use in the future. I teach a programming languages course so I’ve looked at a number of these texts, and this seems like a good new one but I have to say I don’t see much that differentiates it from other recent texts out there. It seems well written and organized, but what’s new?

I would say the best part about this book is the author made it freely available. But if I had to choose a newish compilers book I’d choose Crafting Interpreters, which is also available for free.

One thing that I don’t like so much is the word “design” in the title, as there’s really not much content in the book on how to design a language; most of it is devoted to implementing an already designed language. I’m not sure anyone who learns from this book would be able to design a language unlike C.
Parsing a TLS Client Hello with Go's Cryptobyte Package
I wonder how Fedora started using btrfs as the default for their desktop version when RedHat had deprecated it years ago.

Never used btrfs but I see corruption reports in here everytime I read about it, and it's been in development for over a decade and this thing needs to be put to rest before it eats more people's data.

Hopefully bcachefs becomes feature parity and stability against zfs to provide a modern filesystem to wider Linux audience at last.

Funny to see we're still using ext4 as the default filesystem which is nothing fancy forever.

It's a music box that produces sound electronically, as opposed to traditional mechanical ones. I don't think it is that foreign of a concept. It might be present, or not, in the search results, it depends entirely on the niche and I could not now which it was by just reading the blog post. Anyway that was not really the point of my test.
This is a great idea. I tried doing this with all of the .edu domains on the former DMOZ and created this for simple searches: https://locserendipity.com/edu.html?q=astronomy

Here is the secret: USD is not backed by anything, and the US can print an unlimited amount of it. That's why they have zero risk of a bank run.

Tether is "backed" by USD and they can't print USD, that's where the problem lies.
Open source alternatives are the cure (in the case of Mac hacking their search results to drive some arbitrary metric so some random PM gets promoted somewhere)

IMHO these are the 3 open source backend/platform -as-a-service solutions you need to have a eye one:

1) Directus (in my view the best offering of features)

2) Supabase (if you want more performance. the admin ui however can only be used for internal access)

3) Appwrite (works good and has its own advantages. however in my case i would rather go with 1&2)

-Strapi is out since v4 (too many really big showstopers. i was a fanboy since v3 but directus just brings more to the table and is way mature)

-feathers.js (more lightweight, but unfortunately lost its momentum. better alternatives are nowadays available)
I've seen OKRs significantly improve teams when there's full staff bottom-up commitment; I've seen OKRs totally fail when they're drive-by top-down directives.

I appreciate the perspective. I kind of agree with you however my ideas slightly changed over the last year. It is hard to keep spending as much time as possible with kids when you are also trying to make a living and prepare for a better future for them. I think a balanced approach is better for your mental health and also for their future.
That's what makes TSRs possible. A TSR is essentially just an ordinary program, the only difference is that when it exits, it tells the OS to leave the process in memory rather than unloading it.

Yeah, I remember programming a bunch of those in TurboPascal. There were compiler directives to limit the heap size and some inline assembly was needed to save/restore the stack inside the interrupt handler, but once it worked, the rest was like a normal program.

It was very useful to have a calculator, taking notes, etc. Now we take multitasking for granted, of course.

The biggest issue I've seen with OKRs is that it just turns into a game, and then proceeds to get "gamed".
Separately, there has been more than one occasion where we chose to work on something OKR related but ended up providing less value to our end user as requirements changed mid quarter. Therefore making our initial OKR irrelevant, and preventing management from wanting to pivot to solve a real customer need.
That is a common misconception. At least under US federal law, there is nothing special about a platform. There is no distinction between a "platform" and a "publisher".
No, that excludes labor, i.e. the majority of people. Land, labor, capitol and state as per classical economics (Ricardo, Smith, etc.)

A full HTTP/HTTPS client for validation and token issue

If you had to "write a full HTTP/HTTPS client" just to talk to Google, that's on you for using tools without decent libraries in 2022...
generating traffic without providing value

Those sites generate plenty of value ... for Google. Even if they're not showing Google adverts, those sites normalize the idea that "websites have adverts", so users don't question it on other sites.

If Google started returning sites with low numbers of adverts first then users would start demanding more sites with fewer ads. Google really don't want to show fewer adverts.

It's not incorrect, salary does not include equity. Total comp would be a combination of salary, equity, and bonuses. The OP refers to salary, not total comp. I'm using their information to reply in their thread. Happy to re-asses conversation at total comp (a different conversation) if they are referring to total comp instead of salary.
There are many ways laws could be written to would effectively ban the current online advertising business model. One could be to require written permission each and every time a company wants to transfer user data of any kind to anyone else. Google could try keeping all Google site collected data internally but all analytics data collected from non-Google sites would be forbidden without written permission for each and every instance.

Every site would have to run their own data analysis and sell their own ads. Advertisers would be unlikely to take Google or anyone else's word, so audits would be necessary but difficult to conduct. It wouldn't completely end online advertising but would turn it back into something closer to the old traditional model where those selling ad space had a handful of semi-generic personality models for their readers/users and advertisers would select one that best matches the profile of their target customer. It destroys the economics of centralized data collection.

There are many other laws that could accomplish a similar end but through different means. The biggest barrier would be getting politicians to not care about the demands of huge tech companies that dump endless amounts of money into lobbying and campaign funding.

These problems seem endemic with these services. Apple music definitely seems no better. Huge bugs that seem to go unfixed for large periods of time. Unhelpful algorithm.

Especially Spotify is trying to make it's algorithm it's main product; and not to give you what you want. They want to make it pay to win and sell it to record companies and podcasts.

The exchange's BTC reserves only matter when customers try to withdraw their coins. Until then, the coins are nothing but digits in their database. They can inflate that number as much as they want.
I have known for some time to open /proc/self/mem or use hugetblfs, then send the fd to another process to mmap() so I can share pages; I've made a similar API to the proposed by combining memfd and /proc/self/fd/X. It seems like this API more-directly implements these patterns, but is that it? Or is it something else? Like, is this API going to be faster than that? Or is it just nice to give our pages cute names?

Medicine researching on the internets always was among the hardest topics. And anyone who really understands Medicine has to write on any advice not to consider it as a real medical advice... I agree that google has degraded down to unusable in comparison to non-global searchable websites (like SO) but Medicine is very bad example to your point.

Whats that got to do with anything?

My old lenovo is still too good to throw away for $200, though I'd give it to a relative or friend for free.

It will be years before any Frameworks get that old, and by the time they do 5 or 8 years from now, well their whole sales pitch is that you can just keep repairing it or repurpose it's parts indefinitely. And this thread is talking about repairability not any other value propositions like market availability of old ones.

It may never become a junker you sold for 200 because you used it's parts for something else or you replaced the mainboard and just kept using it.

If there never appear any $200 Frameworks, that would only support the assertion that they are more user repairable.

This question makes no sense to me in this context.

I've been using last.fm for many years now. Hundreds of thousands of scrobbles later, it's still serving up recommendations that I'm now using to build up my personal Jellyfin library that I stream to my phone via Finamp. I use a VPN so I can always connect to my home server when I'm on the go.

Spotify was a pretty convenient all-in-one service for a while. But they've fallen prey to the growth trap and dark patterns for a while now, with no signs of improving any time soon. This solution isn't quite as easy as OG Spotify... but it's free, gives me something to hack and work on, and puts me in control of my music library again. There's something very freeing about consciously thinking about my music library, instead of allowing Spotify to spoonfeed you artists that give up a share of their profits [1].

Key takeaways:

* Nona uses a technology developed in MIT’s Research Laboratory of Electronics that removes salt and bacteria from seawater using an electrical current

* “Because we can do all this at super low pressure, we don’t need the high-pressure pump [used in reverse osmosis], so we don’t need a lot of electricity,” says Crawford, who co-founded the company with MIT Research Scientist Junghyo Yoon

* The company has already developed a small prototype that produces clean drinking water

* The audience choice award went to Sparkle, which has developed a molecular dye technology that can illuminate tumors, making them easier to remove during surgery

* The MIT $100K is MIT’s largest entrepreneurship competition

* “Our device runs on less power than a cell phone charger.” The founders cited problems like tropical storms, drought, and infrastructure crises like the one in Flint, Michigan, to underscore that clean water access is not just a problem in developing countries

* The technology could also possibly be used for hydrogen production, oil and gas separation, and more

* “Our mission is to make portable desalination sustainable and easy,” said Nona CEO and MIT MBA candidate Bruce Crawford in the winning pitch, delivered to an audience in the Kresge Auditorium and online
