Of all the places to see someone from the LDS church, I NEVER thought it would be on HN! Not sure why it is such a surprise, but it is nonetheless.
"Squad" is a better alternative for OP then. It gives what OP asked without any mods and it's easier to get into it without being part of a community.

We have a PHEV from Chevy (the Volt) and it has the best dashboard ever. Knobs for the stuff you want (A/C, Volume, Skip, etc.) And touchscreen for the stuff you don't (GPS, Apple/Android Auto, etc.)
You need HTTPS to even begin trusting remote code. For instance, you download uMatrix to setup a whitelist. Where did uMatrix come from? If you downloaded it over HTTP, then you could be running anything. Even if you have a checksum for uMatrix, you can't trust it if you got the checksum over HTTP.

Now let's say you installed uMatrix and you want to trust a script. Well, how do you know that the script you downloaded came from the URL you've allowed? If you've requested this script before, then you can use a content hash, but if not, then you're basically blindly trusting that no one has tampered with the data.

I enjoyed the story too. I noticed in another on the blog a mention of a book of selections from the blog, and plan to buy a copy.

My mother died last year at 92. She was a very wise woman.

One of the 'gifts' she gave her children was to intentionally de-clutter several times. She'd offer us her possessions periodically and would refuse material gifts for holidays or birthdays. At the end, she lived in a small apartment with sparse furnishings.

She also managed her own funeral, making arrangements for all the necessary processes.

Her passing was very difficult, but much, much less than it could have been.

I hope to do the same for my children one day.
I want the game that Spore was hyped up to be. a fully immersive evolutionary test bed. from single celled organisms and on.
A few things:

1. This is promissory estoppel for contracts. There are lots of types of estoppel, and not all are related at all to what this post is talking about.

2. This post misses a super important requirement for the examples it gives, which is that you have to detrimentally rely on the promise. Put another way - you have to have been injured (monetarily) by the promise to recover.

Usually this means you did something in response to the promise that cost money and can't be undone easily.

Being upset at pizza type would not cut it :)

3. The house example is wrong for another reason - promises/contracts to buy/sell houses must be in writing and signed to be enforceable (at least in the US). This is known as the statute of frauds.
If i promise you verbally to sell you a house, and later do not, it will generally not be enforced.

(You may be able to recover something for detrimental reliance, but you will not be able to force me to sell you the house based on a verbal promise)

Most states also apply this to certain other types of purchases/etc.

Fair enough! My intuition would be the more subjects the better. I realize there’s probably a whole field of study on this subject, and intuition is often wrong :)
I got myself a Garmin watch at the beginning of the year, to collect various metrics automatically. The watch uses the built in heart rate monitor/sensors to derive various data specifically:

- sleep hours (including the sleep phase type: deep sleep etc)

- stress amounts (via heart rate variability)

- energy levels ("Body battery" in Garmin speak)

I've been feeling quite drained the last couple of weeks so I wanted to see if the data I've collected over the last 3 months or so would match what I was subjectively feeling.

Interestingly Garmin does not provide any functionality to analyze long term trends, but there's an open source project to extract data from Garmin [0].

I used the tool to generate some graphs [1] that, do indeed, seem to indicate a rising level of stress over the last few months.

I'm going to try the moving average next to see if it's better than the naive approach I used, but ultimately my goal is the same as author's. I want a warning to sound off based on sleep/stress/energy levels trends. I have a tendency to overdo things sometimes. My theory is that a day off taken before some critical level is better than a week off after the burn out.

Here's the PR with the Jupyter notebook that generates the graph in the link based on Garmin Data [2].

I don't think anyone wants extinction, but they'll get it anyway and that's what makes Harari, all the multiplications and the imagined monopolies delusional. I think people are in fact full of dejection, disappointment and skepticism, including at themselves. I can only truly speak for myself though. I feel that way and I'm very much more like these people than I would like to admit, but I have to believe I can build anew beyond that in such a way that doesn't necessitate me tearing down everyone else first.

I've never been very compromising and even normal conversations with me feel like battle, often. I just try to have a good time and speak my mind. When I get harassed by police or tricked or screwed around in whatever way at least I can then believe it's not my nihilism being expressed.
"The electoral college accomplishes none of the goals of republic style voting you’d like, nor the direct popular vote that others want"

Isn't that basically the goal in the US - balance of power between the states and feds, as well as between democracy and republic? Similar to the house of representatives vs senate.

The states also have control over how they want to divide the votes (proportional, winner take all, etc). Not that it's necessarily fair. But I don't see a straight popular vote being completely fair either (depending on the definition we're using, like equal vs equitable).

Some hoarding tendencies seem to be genetic, too. My father was a medium grade hoarder. He lived through the depression (born in 1922), but lived on a farm and said he didn't want for much. He was "poor" by urban standards, but didn't know it. Never went hungry, had enough money to buy what they didn't grow.

His garage when he died was packed to the gills with ... stuff. Mostly tools (he was a mechanic) and things he dabbled with, but almost none of it quality in any sense. Enough to where he built a little outbuilding/shed and kept shit there too.

I'm not to outbuilding level, but I have the same tendencies, and I'm very well off by most standards. I'm working on it, and now that I've gone through my father's death and had to deal with that, am focusing on not having my son have to do it.

I'm definitely happy that my €6 per month subscription has been upgraded to Proton Unlimited. The storage boost for email is more than I'd ever use, but the ability to add more custom domains is a definite win in my book.
There was/is a game called Shattered Galaxy that was best described this way.

Several factions continuously battling over discrete territories. There would be calculations throughout the day that would give certain bonuses to whichever factions were winning.

Every territory had a field commander that could request people join that had leveled up certain types of units based on how the battle was evolving.

There was also a form of player controlled government in each faction that could choose bonuses and allocate resources to various battles.

It was really cool for its moment in time.
Part of that is untrue. You can add SwiftUI to an app that starts with the UIKit lifecycle.

In fact, you can jump back and forth between UIKit and SwiftUI as many times as you like throughout your app's view hierarchy.

The current project I'm working on involves slowly porting an older UIKit+Storyboard app over to SwiftUI, so I'm seeing this in practice every day.
By that point Reagan and Thatcher were close political allies and friends. From everything I’ve read about this that is the biggest part of it. She convinced him that this was a serious issue and that the scientists were not being hyperbolic scaremongers, a common attack thrown at any experts bring predictions of bad things to come.

How is this different from what Google currently does for in-video text search?
It may not matter for you, but it matters for others. I have to structure my routine in a way that allows me to get through it while balancing things like time, mood, energy, etc. Otherwise my routine itself costs me energy, which is counter-productive. You don't have to optimize every second of your life, but for me it does matter what order and what time of day/week I do things.
It's amazing how often effects go to supersonic speeds in everyday life. It really makes sense why our hearing is logarithmic, otherwise we'd all be deaf just from a cork popping.
Where do you work exactly and what do you do for a living?

Because new hires vying for more influence in the office has been a staple of the modern workplace and organizational politics for a long time now.
Reading this comment and most of the thread, what is missing is the human part of the experience. GPS directions are terrific, indeed, but you are choosing (by not "checking any maps in advance") to completely pass up the opportunity to explore, to wander, to discover.

You went all the way to Europe and didn't even look at a map? You could have been 100 yards from some amazing place and never even known it. Your dad never would have done that.

Technology has generally eliminated the worst scenarios -- getting totally lost or stranded -- but also generally eliminated the best -- discovering something new, an unexpected detour. I can also speak from experience and say that I barely remember the trips in which every detail was planned and executed exactly according to plan. The times when I was lost, or had no place to sleep, often turned out to be the best and most memorable trips of my life. Actually being forced to interact with other human beings has its upsides.
> compliance would “undermine the business model” of a company

This is a disingenuous framing of the argument as it commonly appears on HN, sometimes by me.

The complaint isn't with respect to what the rules permit and prohibit. (Some people complain about that, but it's not the common mode.) It's the enforcement mechanism. Complaint initiated. Multi-forum and portable. Imprecise on implementation details. Those factors make compliance, even for someone looking to do everything right, expensive. Which raises barriers to entry. (And creates room for mischief.)

The closest similar thing in the U.S. is our approach to securities regulation. Complaint initiated. Each state has its own forum. Each side can complain and defend in different forums and then expensively argue over arcane rules for forum selection. Details hashed out through enforcement actions versus ex ante published rules. Now imagine there was no SEC corralling the mess. That's GDPR.
Stray.
https://www.givedirectly.org/ is I think a fairly effective charity, admittedly I assume they mostly send money to people in non-war torn countries, but I think the point still holds, and just doing the moral equivalent of sending evelopes full of cash is a decent baseline for charities.
Star Citizen is the closest thing to that. It’s not without its production flaws but what they managed to build is breathtaking.
Windows is slowly moving into to C++ since Vista, nowadays you have the WIL template library that is being used there as well. One doesn't steer that ship in one release.

macOS uses C++ as driver and Metal subsystem.

IBM mainframes usually get to write new modules in C++, alongside their classical languages (PL/I dialects and such).

ARM mbed also makes use of C++.

Although not an OS proper, the Arduino bare metal libraries are C++.
Similar to HTTPS-only being built into web browsers, isn't captive portal detection built into all modern OSes? What's the badly-setup wifi network that requires you to open your browser but doesn't get detected properly by the OS as a captive portal?
That’s how I used to feel until I found out they accepted millions in donations from companies like Google and Facebook/their executives/their executives’ charities.

I’m just some guy on the Internet but IMHO their being OK with massive conflicts of interest means I no longer trust them.
Idk about any big online ones but there are a ton of awesome coop games that reward(and require) collaboration.

Overcooked I think is the best example of this genre. Super simple gameplay mechanic basically 2 actions and move. But all the fun and complexity comes in from needing to work with other people.

There is a major distinction in my mind between that type of actual collaboration and many “co-op” games where you are basically just playing at the same time and usually actually competing for kills/points.
It's new and requires different mindset than UIKit. Many times I was thinking "it must be broken!" only to find out later that I was doing things wrong. I suspect many posts on Twitter follow the same pattern.

My advise is to try it, and learn along the way. After a while the idea of going back to UIKit will become scary.
> I really wonder if the possibility of updates alone can make software worse.

Absolutely does. You see this in console video games. As soon as online updates became possible, game-breaking bugs at launch became practically the norm, instead of incredibly rare (minor bugs were common enough before ["I AM ERROR"], sure, but game-breaking ones, while not unheard of, were rare). Charging $60 for a late-alpha-quality product.
However I would remind you that since Fastmail is based in Australia, its privacy is pretty limited.

> The new law also allows officials to approach specific individuals—such as key employees within a company—with these demands, rather than the institution itself. In practice, they can force the engineer or IT administrator in charge of vetting and pushing out a product's updates to undermine its security. In some situations, the government could even compel the individual or a small group of people to carry this out in secret. Under the Australian law, companies that fail or refuse to comply with these orders will face fines up to about $7.3 million. Individuals who resist could face prison time.

Interestingly the bike repair bible that most of the experts defer to, i.e. https://www.sheldonbrown.com/ is written by a man who claims he was strongly influenced by the writings of Bertrand Russell, and he is married to a mathematician and has two children who are both mathematicians.

That was the vision for SC5, if I rememeber correctly. Everyone was pissed off that the game required the servers and the servers would melt down regularly making it impossible to play.

Perhaps just ahead of it's time?
A problem with each state doing their own thing, is then the state can take away human rights, and wealthly people can simply move, less privileged people may be unable to. Of course the constitution is suppose to help with that by requiring all states treat everyone equally but of course they couldn't predict everything and states can simply interpret it as they see fit, so the federal government is needed, but how much is anyones guess. I don't see that de-polarizing america, rather just would be more silencing those in the minority of each state.
When you put it that way, it does sound pretty onerous...
> Interesting take. But your use of missiles can actually be extended back tens of thousands of years

I think drones and loitering munitions are much more interesting than traditional missiles. A missile is a threat for a matter of minutes, and can be defended. But drones and loitering munitions... the idea that something up in the air can wait... for the exact right moment... and hit with such accuracy... it changes how you think about fighting.
This is where I think regulation works, to a degree. Most states in the US already ban using handheld devices in a non-hands free capacity (which excludes almost every usage except for navigation and voice-activated messaging and calling), and this should also apply to auto manufacturers with regards to touchscreens in cars. The liability would rest with the manufacturers, since they are the ones installing the touch screens and requiring drivers use them.
Yikes, what an enlightening demonstration of how bad GDPR and it's users really are. Instead of taking control of their own music by having it on disk this user decided to rely a third party service and then became so upset when the service changed they threatened legal attacks. Services like this should probably block all nation states that support GDPR.
Nope. We have a fairly complicated project, 20+ frameworks, the preview feature doesn't work. We're not using firebase either.
I enjoy the general structure of Metroidvanias but most of them rely on combat mechanics for the micro-challenges in each room or boss. I like the exploration, backtracking, progression and unlocking previously inaccessible area.

But combat isn't the only mechanic that could be present there. There are examples like Ori and Toki where combat is de-emphasized in favor of movement/puzzles, but they're still 2D platformers.

I want to see a metroidvania game based on racing. I enjoy driving/racing games and would like to see those mechanics provide the micro-challenges for a metroidvania. Boss fights would be setpiece races, earning XP would be small things like a time trials, stunts, or precision driving. Unlocks like drifts, speed boosts, etc.
Because these countries are cherrypicked. If your list included places like Mexico, Brazil, Finland and Switzerland you would have a very different idea of the relation between gun ownership and gun homicide rates.

Also, I personally do not care one whit about gun homicide rates. I care about overall homicide rates, and I think most everyone else does too.
I haven't used Tesla's implementation, but I've suffered through Android Auto's voice controls. I've never had to retry a physical button four times because it needs a hearing aid.
From my understanding, you have to use SwiftUI differently than it is eventually intended. First, you build 90% of the app in SwiftUI, then you use UIKit for the other 10% that can't be done in SwiftUI. Eventually you will be able to do everything in SwiftUI, but for now, this strategy works pretty well.
I mean, the Prime Minister of Canada is not the person who receives the most votes. They are the leader of the party who gets the most seats (not the most votes as the last election shows). If the Prime Minister loses in their riding (constituency), they'll actually run them again in another one that guarantees they'll win. So in Canada (and Parliamentary system in general), the voters have even less say in who their executive leader is.

The is nothing inherently anti-democratic about not electing via popular vote.

The Founding Fathers deliberately designed a system different from "the most votes wins the Presidency". They were trying to avoid the exact scenario that would happen today with popular voting - 3 or 4 states would decide the Presidency alone. Not much point in having United States of America if most of the states had no say in their leadership.
New Logic Gates Are a Million Times Faster Than Those in Today's Chips
I'm sure other people will suggest this, but does Cities: Skylines with mods kind of solve what you're looking for (admittedly missing the "runs in the cloud" aspect)? Some of the builds people make with mods in that game are incredible.
Thanks for the reply. What is the approximate percentage of connections that goes directly from service to service rather than from service to message bus/queue?
I'm curious about the order of magnitude.
I'm not understanding how that works exactly, outside of very basic vetting that things like name, ssn, etc, match up. A fair amount of disputes, for example, are identity theft. The loan company sharing into with a credit reporting agency would be supplying data that looked right.
I use Affinity Designer which has a great isometric grid system and other isometric specific tooling.
this makes me curious how kidney stone rates differ across cultures with different levels of consumption of high-oxalate foods like turmeric, cumin, black pepper, etc.
A redirect itself is considered bad by some because it encourages relying on http in the first place (imagine always hitting a web site through http and expecting a redirect instead of going to https directly).

As soon as you do that, you are similarly prone to MITM attacks: on an insecure network, you hit an http site and it replaces the redirect with one to a https site that looks like the same domain but really isn't (with a valid cert for mbsonline.gov.au.foo.io).

For my personal sites, I prefer to go with no redirects and if it really processes data, https-only.

For users, the right solution isfor browsers to always attempt https first even if those could be technically serving entirely different content (that would be one hell of an anti-pattern though, so I wouldn't worry about it).
