> When I read the title I was hoping for something else though, what I would love is a tool that logs and potentially blocks unexpected IO operations on a library basis. With the increasing common supply chain attacks we are seeing (there was a PyPI one just the other day), having a way to at least report on unexpected activity if not help prevent would be brilliant. Has anyone ever found a tool like. that?

You could do something close to that with Python's audit hooks, which were introduced with 3.8[1]. One massive caveat: audit hooks can be disabled by an attacker with the ability to control the interpreter, and are not perfect (there's plenty of things they don't cover.)

(More generally: this kind of auditing/restriction falls under the umbrella of "capability management." OpenBSD's pledge[2] is another example.)

No, of course people didn't routinely wear them. But every citizen was issued one. Children took them to school every day, and were drilled in their use.

It's still an eccentric thing to do, of course. But, like the alarm clock tied around his waist, it was an instance of solving a problem by grabbing something close to hand.
There are incrementally useful, but the current crop will not disrupt the demand for senior engineers, especially at product-focused companies or high-scale companies. It may cause some disruption in line of business apps or demand for developers for internal applications. The thing is, CRMs have been taking over this space for over 2 decades already and many have companies have already adopted these tools. Products like Salesforce, Dynamics or ServiceNow are very popular at non-technical companies, and they can just hire a few people through the vendor's professional services if any deeper customization or support is needed.

I have deeply reviewed PowerApps, Mendix, Outsystems, Pega, and Budibase. Despite what the vendors promise, this is more evolutionally than a revolution. Most still have serious problems at scale, and model driven development proves to be quite difficult for almost everyone. It's just not clear what value this provides: a typical CRM or BPM stack is better for semi-techincal users; programming languages are better for truly custom applications.
In vacuum, the required insulation is cheap and easy: more layers of the famous metallized crinkled plastic foil. The stuff that (with gold-colored metallization) is an iconic part of "the" satellite/space probe design.

The hard part about that insulation is that on earth, you need to sustain a vacuum in the annular space while overall being light due to the LH2 itself being light. Ideas would be to get tension fibers bridging that annular space, the inner tank with the LH2 being slightly pressurized, and thus the outer wall being kept from large-scale buckling (and small-scale buckling is cheap to reinforce for with an isogrid (triangle honeycomb) or other similar reinforcement structure on the outside of it). But in space, the outer wall isn't needed, because space is already a vacuum.
VideoMentions scrapes the video page markup and pulls out the "baseUrl" for the English caption track. It converts that XML caption track into JSON, then searches it for keyword matches. You're right that this particular search for "toxic" should find several spoken word matches, but it doesn't. It seems like the tool isn't able to access the captions data for that video for some reason. I made a note of this bug, and I'll look into fixing it. Thanks for pointing it out, and for checking out VideoMentions Search!
That's a prescriptive view of what the rights should be. According to a more descriptive view, rights are just social constructs with an effective enforcement mechanism. That mechanism is often regulated by laws, which means the legislator can effectively create new rights and revoke old ones.

My pet hypothesis is that the US perspective is prescriptive, because the ability of the state to enforce the rights has not been seriously compromised in a long time. The rest of the world is more familiar with the idea that the guy with a bigger gun may one day show up and take your rights away.
Definitely, I completely agree. That goes for any nation really. The difference to me is that one article is making a pretty serious claim, and the other is casting some doubt on it - the burden of proof is still on NYT.
If you are found in breach, the regulator would approach you in good faith and assuming you are in good faith. You will be given time to fix your systems and the regulator would allow some back and forth to get to the right result.

Cite some examples of Monopoly, Duopoly or Triopoly? How a newcomer can get in?
In today's business world, there are some markets that are dominated by one "big bro", two or sometimes even three players which make these markets extremely hard to penetrate and compete against for newcomers.

Can you give an example (or more) while, if possible, citing their common weak point(s) and how a newcomer can benefit from this and get in?

Below are may tries:

Monopoly: Search Engine - Google

Weaknesses: Lack of privacy, SEO clickbaits

Duopoly: Mobile App Market - AppStore, PlayStore

Weakness: Forcing cutting 30% revenue from developers

Triopoly: Cloud Providers - AWS, Azure and GCP

The transaction bundle will fail if the success criteria is not reached (often a certain level of profit), so the worst that happens is that the profit margin falls to that level or the transaction is not included with zero cost to the sender
The scaling benefit is that you save insulation.
A fantasy version of Escape from Tarkov with a bigger emphasis on PvE and Tomb Raider styled dungeon crawling (puzzles + traps).

Basically an instance based game where you gather a team of dungeon delvers to explore a dungeon and get good loot. You would have to pick your loadout (equipment and skills) according to what you think would be needed to dungeoneer successfully for the given challenges of a dungeon. On death you would lose all the equipment you brought, but you wouldn't lose your level or skills.

Dungeons would have different challenges. So one might be a close quarters crypt like some Mayan or Egyptian pyramid. One might be a larger ancient city like Atlantis. Some a mix of both. The NPC enemies, traps, and puzzles could be random each time based on a pool of the types for those dungeons.

There would be other groups of competing adventurers trying to get through the dungeon, but I think the dungeons should be scaled so that running into them is less likely than say the game "Escape from Tarkov". Also I think the game should do a dice roll while match making to determine whether a given match has no opposing teams or many opposing teams. This will keep you on your feet PvP wise but allow the game to focus mostly PvE. PvP here mostly serves the purpose of providing a challenge to players that can't be "solved" since the ingenuity and unpredictability of players is greater than that of typical AI.
Synthetic hydrocarbons will always cost more than synthetic ammonia and synthetic hydrogen. Of the two, ammonia is more practical to transport.

Synthetic hydrocarbons will be used for a long time where those others can't be made to work, such as old cars and chainsaws, and air transport until LH2 fleets and infrastructure are built out; or are used too rarely to merit upgrading, like back-up generators.

Totally agree. Despite the move to touchscreens in cars over the years - they're acually terrible for usability and safety. The lack of tactile feedback and the fact that buttons can move position and appearance from app-to-app means that they require much more cognitive load than physical buttons.

Putting a trimmed-down Android tablet into a car is cheaper for manufacturers, but it's bad for usability.

There's been some research done that finds touchscreens are more distracting than drink or drug driving:

Learn to program. No Code almost always causes more problems than it solves, plus your not building any real skills.

I told a friend who's kid likes game design to make sure his kid is actually programing. Once you get past the first 6 months or so, things start to make sense. If you can write a C# class at 19, you'll be doing very very well on your 20s.

Low Code solutions don't teach you any real skills at the end of the day.

Great app. I’m using it tonight. Well done on the cash flow, well deserved. A good workout app can be life-changing.
Most US banks and credit unions offer a similar service, called an "overdraft line of credit." Overall I think it provides the best experience for the customer, but there are a few issues. You have to know about it and apply for it. You need a good enough credit score and/or regular income to qualify. And many of the people who currently lose money to overdraft fees would probably just max out their line of credit (commonly $1,000) and then continue to overdraft while also paying $80/year or whatever in interest.

It'll keep happening so long as this country continues to ignore the well-being its own population.

It also still remains true that it's a very minor threat compared to many others that we face in our day-to-day lives. I'm not saying we shouldn't do anything about it. I'm saying that we should always be aware of the true scope of the problem, and prioritize various measures accordingly.

I suspect that the single biggest policy change that would drastically improve matters is universal healthcare, and particularly prophylactic treatment of mental health. It would also solve a lot of other problems. "Active shooter drills", on the other hand, create mental health problems without solving anything.
Ask HN: Hackable Phone Watch for Kid without app
I'd like to equip my kid with a watch that can be used as a phone.

I found many different model, but they all require an app to operate.

So I am wondering if the HN community could help me find if there a model that is more "hackable"?

For example, for GPS tracking, I'd like to be able to specify an URL and have the phone do a POST request on it every few minutes or so.

I only need phone (audio only) and GPS tracking. And I want to use my linux workstation to configure it (like updating configuration file or the like).
Yes - especially important for low end devices, it improves the first load after which the app behaves like a regular SPA.

Eventually the gamblers and gullible will run out and those already financially vested in coin of your choice who on the weekly or monthly buy $x more, also adding to and keeping a reserve of $y to buy during dips which also helps to make the price look artificially more stable than it is [not to mention when billion dollar reserves get spent to counter the bottom completely falling out]. After that it will only be through aggressive tactics including regulatory capture that force more people, let's say 50% of population adopted, they will need the remaining 50% to adopt - to give them the basket, leaving them holding it - with no one else to buy it from them.

What will, and is happening, you just don't see it as much - it's not as obvious because no one is making money or wanting to make money by taking a stand against Bitcoin, and draw the attention of the heavily invested ideological mob of HODLers - whereas everyone taking a stand for Bitcoin is financially incentivized to promote it with whatever true or false rhetoric and propaganda they find works best in the present climate; perhaps the best simplified comparison I heard is that Bitcoin is like Mary Kay for men.

This has increasingly been the M.O. of all the "activist" media outlets in the US for the past 5 years. Issue exaggerated if not outright fraudulent explosive headlines and articles - Russian Pee tapes, bounties on American troops, Capital police officers bludgeoned to death by rabid mobs, etc. - then months later, quietly issue a "correction" on page 10, long after the false narrative has been thoroughly disseminated into the public's version of reality.

And if that wasn't shady enough, in the days of online content, these outlets often don't even bother with admitting they were wrong. They simply edit the original stories - silently and without public notice - and pretend it was never written in the first place.

The NY Times was caught red-handed doing this with their 1619 content several times already.

Enlighten us! How are people that don't want to pay for software "their best customers"?

GoodNotes is great, hope they can make the one-off payment model sustainable. But the reality is that cost needs to match with value over time, and the industry is moving to subscriptions because that's a sustainable model for productivity software.
A question, from someone who used to start lots of projects, but now finds himself busy from all of those (some now quite successful) projects:

How much daily "mental load" does something like this take? Are you able to work on it when you want, and otherwise ignore? Any tips for starting a small project that doesn't require ongoing mental effort?
4% of $150k is $6k, which is $500 * 12.
I also hate the subscription-based model. I see it as a race to the bottom that devs can't avoid, unfortunately. Your competition can go freemium and pick up casual users and then charge for subs, making your product less attractive initially (why pay a fee to try out an app when another one is free to try?). Most people don't want to pay $40 or $100 for an app. Additionally, users expect features that require cloud services and you need to pay your own fees to keep those lights on, so naturally you want to charge users a subscription fee as well.
Not even MMO. I play Apex Legends, a character based BR. There is a ranked mode where each rank have an entry cost and you get points by placement and kills. While it’s a team game, the entry cost was so low that you could play aggressively - killing a few people and dying soon after - or survive by hiding - ratting - and get to a high rank easily. It quickly became a solo game, where people abandon their team to push fights they can’t win, hoping for a few kill, or leaving their teammates in fight they could have win otherwise.

They’ve just changed to a new system where you have to get both high placement and kills in order to rank up. That means relying heavily on your team to win the fights or strategizing rotation around the map. And some people are still complaining about being forced to play as a team in a team based game.
Lots of games have dedicated "role-play" servers. When I read your comment i instantly thought of this: https://www.polygon.com/22512951/gta-online-new-day-role-pla...

I've never heard any arguments for reparations that even approach the plausible. The real reason is obviously the grift. As for slavery: Its economic advantage is obvious when you compare the United States, especially the Southern United States, with Canada (proportionately of course). There is no economic advantage. In fact there is an economic detriment.

(For arguments that suggest some disadvantage is thrust upon the descendants of the slaves one need only compare the economic status of American blacks with African blacks.)
