Reminder that in addition to denying location permissions, on iOS you'll also want to turn off "Background activity" for apps that don't have a reason to need it. There was an article a couple years ago where some apps were polling your course location in the background based off of your IP address.

Yup that's what happened to me at my last job. The stress and lack of sleep it caused me just wasn't worth it and it showed no signs of ever getting better. When I put in my notice they insisted that all these problems were going to disappear any day now but luckily I've been doing this long enough to know better.
The WWW was developed on a NeXT machine. But NetBSD ran the web for more than a decade, and I mean 90% of 30M webservers globally between 1994 and 2006 ran on NetBSD installations, not FreeBSD, NetBSD. FreeBSD started gaining popularity later. The reason is NetBSD was mature, incredibly stable, free and well-supported. Linux was nowhere in 1998, had zero support, was not stable or mature, and there were no Linux webservers serving the public anywhere in 1998. In 1998, Linux was barely a curiosity, a hobby, and it continued to have no foothold in the WWW until Dell and HP started shipping Linux installations in 2007.

Linux fanaticism is compelling, but it can not rewrite history. Linux took over far later than you think. Linux started gaining webserver marketshare only by 2008 as a minority, quickly ramped up in a few years, but only by 2011/12 were most webservers running on Linux.
Most importantly, try not to pick winners. that's a fools errand.

Trying to pick winner is fun tought and it's a great way to learn. I don't think that there is something wrong with having a few percentage (<10%) allocated to play the market like it's a casino.

But start with index and etf because if you start with individual stock you are already over 10% ;)

I'm so glad someone finally wrote an article about this -- I've been feeling this way for a while. The Away Message served so many vital functions in the synchronous chat modality. We need it more than ever, now that we're in a constant state of synchronous chat availability.

Apple's done this to some extent with iOS 15's set of "Focus" features. The most direct use being that if someone enabled Do Not Disturb (or other Focus mode), others will see their iMessage chat as "$person has notifications silenced". This is a key step to bringing back the Away Message concept, and I hope Apple and others continue expanding upon this.

I feel compelled to say that your second sentence is probably the funniest thing I've ever read on HN. It resonates very strongly with my belief that VR/Metaverse will continue to under deliver. What people want is an escape from reality. "Just like" Ready Player One or anything from a wide choice of science fiction novels. The problem is that these systems require a fundamental disconnect from reality. Not only do we not have the input technology, the closest thing we have is a monkey playing pong, but the obstruction of physical world signals is basically non-existent. If it were, then we wouldn't have people in chronic pain. Finally, we already know how this experiment ends. This is basically SecondLife 2.0 (ThirdLife?). We'll have 0.1% stay because they invested so much (money, time, identity) into the world that the sunk cost fallacy kicks in.

> why don't companies just accept that they have one good project, focus on it 100%, stay good at it, and when the market dies, the company could die with it.

Because corporations are organisations (that develop some bureaucracy) and the main existential purpose of every bureaucratic organisation is to survive and grow. No corporation will just voluntarily die I think. First it will be sold, reorganized, reimagined, reinvented, downscaled, pivoted and all that good stuff.

That's one reason I point out a few comments above that certain niches will need to take it into account ahead of time. Eg. An a/v application will typically allocate all buffers up front and re-use them frequently rather than return them to the allocator. A lot of server applications will want to keep per-client memory usage low. For general purposes, there's the general purpose allocator.

Someone more informed might know this better than me: are all mobile apps constantly collecting as much data on you as they can and reselling it? I had this realization sometime during COVID (I know, I'm late to the party). I assume any free (as in beer) app is doing this and possibly even paid apps.
I'll let you know if I ever find one. I wouldn't hold your breath.
Why do people always bring this up when people talk about "Facebook"? Whenever I see people use "Facebook" used to describe the company, I think of all the products they offer, not just facebook.com.

With that being said, anecdotally, in younger (American) circles, facebook.com isn't used much as a social media/content sharing platform. However, other facebook (meta) products like messenger, and instagram are still used a ton, not to mention facebook.com "subproducts" like marketplace, or using facebook pages to act as a landing page for a business. Just because younger people don't use facebook.com doesn't mean they have little relevance within that subgroup.

This isn't even including the huge influence of whatsapp, granted it still(?) doesn't generate any revenue. Facebook developer products like react or pytorch also have a very strong foothold among young developers.
I'm usually skeptical of corporate BS, but I imagine they did have a strong relationship. 14-year stints are very rare, esp. for people that have plenty of options knocking on the door
Veloa | Software Interns | Full time | Onside | Europe/UK | Veloa.co (website not up quite yet)

Veloa is a bootstrapped health platform initially focused around cycling. More details will be given to candidates who contact me.

I'm moving to Mallorca for 3 months to hack on this idea and cycle around the island. I can pay a small wage and provide accommodation and flights. Basically treat it as a mini YC with a plan to do an application once we have launched something slightly undercooked.

You will be a programmer of some description but people who are interested in learning programming should apply too. The internship will consist of 4h per day pair programming Elixir, React Native and Typescript plus time to self learn on a real world problem.

You will get access full time to tuition from me. I have about 20 years experience so you will learn a lot, and by the end of the 3 months you will be in a position to build a full app on your own.

Just drop me a message if there is any interest or if you are looking to change career into programming. Andrew at veloa dot co.

The dates are 4th of June for 3 months until Sept 3rd inclusive but I'm happy for you to arrive any time in the next 3 weeks. As with all startups there is plenty to do so if you do well/have potential I hope we can do the YC application as business partners. A great way to learn a lot in a short space of time. I look forward to hearing from you. Please still drop me a mail if this slightly out there idea doesn't quite fit but you're interested to learn more!
Can't buy things without money though. And it seems studies show that people 50+ spend more

> Are you saying that you think HITS doesn't recursively score ...

I doubt that reading comprehension is that hard a skill to master. I dont see where I have said anything about recursion or their lack of. If you want to have an imaginary conversation between yourself and what you think I have said, you can continue. I do not need to participate in that. I am sure you alone will suffice.

I think going back to the Pagerank and HITS papers carefully and understanding them will be illuminating. You keep saying they have no semantic difference, which cant be further from the truth. The scores are the eigenvectors of very different matrices, and HITS scores are straight forward to manipulate. BTW the papers cite each other stating in what way the other is different, if their difference was mere implementation detail and no semantic difference, I doubt they would stand as published papers.

The Hub score is not something interesting that I happened to say but a core part of the HITS paper. It is by virtue of the Hubs score that the Authority scores are defined (and vice versa) in the paper. It so happens, its easy to bump up the Hub score of a page by adding few strategic outlinks.

> Yes, again: possible to frame it as a formally valid problem if you really want to; still not an interesting one. We're only talking about this because you want to maintain that your earlier statement was true.

That's your opinion. I am just countering your categorical claim that there is no game theory formulation possible here. If your yardstick for your assertion that no game theoretic formulation is possible is your inability to find one that's interesting to you, there is not much I can do about it. All I can say is that such an yardstick is not very popular or useful.

A game theoretic formulation with a budget constraint adversary is a very natural setting. Research on link spam resistant node ranking algorithms are a thing, as is evaluating how stable are the rankings produced by some of these proposed algorithms to (potentially motivated and adversarial) changes to the links in the graph. SIGIR, WEBKDD proceedings on link analysis and rankings would be a good place to look.

You will need some background in matrix perturbation analysis, especially perturbation analysis of principal eigenvector to understand some of the results. Perturbation analysis of finite Markov chains will also suffice.

https://ai.stanford.edu/~ang/papers/ijcai01-linkanalysis.pdf

is by far one of the easiest papers to read in this area (Andrew Ng has focused on other areas of research since this paper). Note that the stability bounds in that paper can be easily tightened... left as an exercise for you. As you will see in the paper, HITS scores are easier to alter (equivalently stated, they are unstable) compared to Pagerank scores.

> Or maybe I'm wrong and there's a fascinating problem which you just don't want to divulge to me.

This is hardly the forum for extended discussions on a research topic. With the pointers and sketches that I mentioned a competent grad student would be able to fill in/ develop it further.

No I was just talking about the codec of course.

But nobody sells radio sets based on mbelib except the Chinese budget brands (e.g. baofeng) which have circumvented DVSI's patent by setting up a local company that sells the patent because they say they own it (even though they have no right to do it, but DVSI can't sue them in China). But all the public safety ones I've seen are brands like motorola and hytera that buy the real DVSI codecs.

But I'm not saying there are no other vulnerabilities. I'm just saying that there will not be many people using mbelib to listen to public safety frequencies because there is nothing to listen to as it's encrypted.

> I'm not sure why you would link an unrelated trial about a movie star to the announcement.

They told you why, to bury the news, which they all have an incentive to do. If it wasn't the trial verdict (which is dominating the news), they could have waited until something else to displace it. News outlets have finite space and time and the public has a finite attention span, not too hard to take advantage of that.

It is definitely possible. I just think it is interesting to see the other side's argument for things that I'm instinctively averse to. A strong, automatic gut reaction can be a nice touch-off point for thinking about our biases.
Yet somehow

1) Meta has a lot of active users across all of their properties (Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp). Even the core Facebook product generates a lot of activity, which can be seen from their financials.

2) The great majority of Facebook users are under 50 (Source: https://www.statista.com/statistics/187549/facebook-distribu... )

HN commenters (and their friends) don't overlap with Facebook's userbase as much as the general population. It doesn't make sense to try to extrapolate from individual anecdotes when vast quantities of research and data are available on the topic. It's reminiscent of people who refuse to acknowledge climate change because it's not hot where they live. Ignore your bubble, focus on the plentiful data available.

Eike from the KDE community here - thanks to whoever submitted this!

Kdenlive is of our most popular applications, having made great strides in maturity and depth of functionality in the last couple of years.

Unfortunately the Kdenlive team has been having persistent issues with fraud of this type for over a year now. Several instances of people buying SEO keywords including the app's name and then pushing more or less subtly relabeled versions, outright malware, and even identity theft in the form of impersonating members of the dev team on the fake sites. It's very difficult to combat effectively and burns a lot of energy.
Hang on.

>The Tim Hortons app asked for permission to access the mobile device’s geolocation functions, but misled many users to believe information would only be accessed when the app was in use. In reality, the app tracked users as long as the device was on, continually collecting their location data.

Does this mean that the prompt is completely useless?
Will this have support for macOS by inserting itself, as jemalloc does, as the default malloc zone? If so, does that mean it will be very fast at determining if a given pointer was allocated by libpas?

IT looks really fun!
counterpoint - Tim Hortons quality has been in serious decline for far longer - when they stopped baking goods in-store in 2002.
That's the plan - I was lifting before we had our youngest (2.5) and fairly fit (dad bod but I was working on it). Last 2.5 years ruined that. Will be happy when I can get back to regular training but for that to happen we need to be over this current period.
Duckietown | Software engineers (robotics, backend, frontend) | REMOTE, Boston, Zurich

Duckietown is an American and Swiss robotics education startup company whose goal is to provide accessible and state-of-the-art robot autonomy education for everybody.

Duckietown started as a class at MIT; you can see this duckumentary [1] from the early days. You can see our recent story on our website [2], such as the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) we organized on edX [3] and the AI Driving Olympics [4] at NeurIPS.

We have currently these open positions:

1) Robotics UX engineer:

https://duckietown.freshteam.com/jobs/_S5qI-xezjAI/robotics-...

2) Backend software developer / DevOps:

https://duckietown.freshteam.com/jobs/BW69OwMAXkRO/backend-s...

We plan to have many more positions open in the next weeks; so please apply even if these two do not fit 100%.

Our team is currently 100% REMOTE for the pure-software part; we plan the accumulation points Zurich, Boston, and Rome for hardware development and testing.
I don't think most people think it will crater and be gone tomorrow. I suspect people tend to think that if it is on a decline it will be a long slow death.

Would you mind providing a reference for this? I don't doubt your statements, but it would be great to be able to research further.
Right business move would have been to just keep enough engineers to keep facebook and instagram running. Cut costs aggressively and milk that slowly sinking ship for the next 3 decades.

Oh, and invest into whatsapp.

> After working on several products through my career I found that we spend way too much time on building API backends. Most APIs also need constant updating, and this costs time and money.

> It's always the same thing, figure out what the UI needs then build an endpoint for it. Most API code involves struggling with an ORM to query a database and mangle the data into a shape that the UI expects to see.

Most business API's have business specific per user read/write access roles.

I am starting to think that a better solution to GraphQL and other DSL's is to:

- A. Make the iteration speed of adding a new plain HTTP endpoint very fast.

- B. Use a typed language, and some kind of macro to extract the types into an Open API spec.

This way everything is just a regular function in your general language:

- http_handler(request) -> response

- user_has_access(user, resource) -> bool)

etc.

Regular functions have no external dependencies, are easy to understand, edit and stand the test of time better than DSL's.

If GQL does what you need out of the box, it seems a win. But I would assume some endpoints need to fall back on the above approach anyway giving you a mixture of GQL-generated and hand-written handlers.
