And your “that no one has figured out how” quote is from three years ago, and was followed by “If a browser figures out how to do it we'd be happy”

So, sounds like Safari has figured out a way and is pushing the web forward. That’s good, right? Or is it only good when Google wants a browser to have access to serial devices?
Try Amica. They’re amazing and they don’t jerk you around about this kind of stuff.
This sounds good. What may be the unintentional side-effects? Downsides? I guess, another way to question this is why is it the way it is?
> SetOps currently uses ECS

Not everything is a stateless HTTP microservice. Solutions like ECS start to fall apart when you try to run stateful workloads, especially when the lifecycle of the workloads needs to be coordinated to prevent loss of availability or data (i.e. cannot tolerate 2/3 of the containers being knocked offline at the same time). AWS does not offer a managed datastore (e.g. RDS) for every datastore, and many of the datastores it does offer (e.g. MSK) are "let's tick this box in the quest for covering all our customer needs" but not cost-effective for production workloads.

Maybe, as a product, you make a decision to tell your customers, when you need to run something like that, go hire DevOps and migrate off. But you'll be more credible if you're up-front with what kinds of workloads you don't intend to support, so that customers who have a strategic vision for engineering can say, hey these guys will be great for me for the next few years, now I'm more likely to buy in.
Yeah, that was my thought as well. But I'd also think this is the kind of thing that an organization like the ACLU would jump on.
Looks like having a DA raised by Weather Underground was too much, even for San Francisco:

"Boudin fell in love with David Gilbert in the 1970s and gave birth to their son Chesa in 1980. When her son was 14 months old, she was arrested and subsequently incarcerated for murder and bank robbery. Her son was raised by former Weatherman leaders Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn."
You don’t need to read the payment data. I think a phishing/spoofing attempt may be possible by playing a louder or directional ultrasonic message to introduce an alternate payment url. Or you may be able to accomplish a denial of service via jamming.

I’m guessing some of these could be issues with NFC too but from what I have skimmed online it seems both the tag and receiver would need to be modified to work at larger than normal distances of “1-5cm”[1]. Also much more power is needed to extend the range of NFC than sound since sound strength diminishes with the square of the distance and, from what I have skimmed, magnetic induction used by nearfield NFC diminishes with the cube of the distance [2][3].

Have you played it? I have. It's constantly throwing bundles with "+x00% value" in your face and does everything it can to try to get you to pay for stuff. And it gets far far worse when you hit the level cap. And no, it's not a valid excuse that it's a free game, so "I shouldn't complain". I'll gladly pay 60-120 Euros for a complete game as long as it treats me fairly as a customer.
I have one as well, and I've noticed that area proximity detectors (in hallways used to detect presence/motion) do get picked up and come through as loud pops.

> Ah yes, because writing a requirements.txt is complicated, writing a pyproject.toml is complicated, or distributing your app with pyinstaller is complicated.

Writing it isn't complicated. Getting deterministic behaviour out of it is. (Yes, there's freeze which is better than nothing, but that doesn't help if you're actually developing a project; you can freeze your transitive dependencies, but sooner or later you'll want to upgrade something that depends on something you froze, and so then you have to unfreeze everything and hope that nothing else breaks).

> The Python ecosystem has many options that solve dependency management, this is what makes the standard evolve (like the PEP about pyproject.toml which is now a standard).

The Python ecosystem has many options because they all suck. Every few years someone writes a new one that claims to fix the problems, but they still haven't managed to catch up with where Maven was 20 years ago. (Indeed I'd argue they've actually gone backwards in some ways, e.g. including pip in newer versions of Python).

> Can we stop with those obsolete claims that Python packaging is a mess? The package format barely changed in the last 20 years, and every solutions rely on setuptools and/or pip.

The claims are not obsolete, and the fact that things have barely changed in 20 years is a big part of the problem.

Yes! They completely failed to notice that 5G was a thing, and that thing was going to be deployed everywhere, including near airports. They had like a decade to plan for it and any potential impact it might have on planes.

Now they're panicking and trying to hold up a nationwide 5G rollout because they were asleep at the wheel.
Yes, this is discussed in section 4.2 of our paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2205.05982.pdf

In short, it turns out not to help for single core with vectors, but a few initial passes of ips4o (with 64..256-way partitioning) is faster for parallel sorts.

> I think the best example of people who assume reciprocation are the types of tourists that walk up to and try to take pictures with wild animals. They assume as long as they’re nice the animal will be nice.

This is quite a stretch from befriending some mythical anthropomorphized 'Nature' to making nice with wild animals for photos. Animals actually do feel and act and respond, and it's actually true that animals will respond better to 'nice' behavior than aggressive behavior, though wild animals still are not reliable enough.

> I think people tend to assume that bad natural events like fires, hurricanes, floods, etc relate to how we treat the planet

They don't assume it, there is an enormous amount of evidence and clear scientific consensus going back decades that human activities cause climate change, and climate change results in some of the problems you describe. Other human activities also affect those things.

> the reason we have technology in the first place is to shape our environment to be less inhospitable to us than it is naturally

If you believe that, why don't you believe technology can also make our environment more inhospitable.

Again, it's all philosophy, and IMHO transparent. Do I really need to write all this to say the obvious? And when not philosophizing, what are you doing about our environment?

The first part of your comment resonates with me, there are certainly freemium games out there that feel great if you commit to not spend any money on them. I put about 100 hours into Destiny 2, and got a lot of fun and immersion out of it before I quit -- I felt like I was "over" the free content.

Meanwhile, I see people who are deep into that game (season passes, expansions, etc) and they look like someone you know who's on the bad end of an unhealthy relationship. They keep on playing and paying for the new content, but they loathe it and just can't summon the strength to quit.

Depends on the size of the firm, and how much you interact with them.

A local law office with 1-2 lawyers and a few assistants; likely $1000-1500 that’s held by them to put towards any future requirements.

Larger firms range from $5000-25000 for an individual, but again, usually this money is held in a trust on your behalf and you can use it to pay down any bills or let them keep it and pay the invoices as they come.
I seem to recall NCSA httpd (the origin of Apache) distributed an example CGI program for ordering subs from a local store - Jimmy John's, I think. The CGI took the form input and forwarded it to an email-to-fax gateway to send to the sub store.

Would that predate this pizza place? Or does it not count because it wasn't done under the direction of the store?

Sadly, most countries don't have good Mexican food. Pet theory is easy for undocumented/labour Mexicans to sneak into US who absorbs 98% of the diasphora. Rest of world has dearth of Mexicans who opens restaurants because that's not a skill set they look for in economic migrants. Lucky to have some good Mexican joints in major Canadian city, but most places don't. That extra border hop filters out a lot.

Unrelated rant: Someone please explain to me how does COVID precisely delay things? It has become blanket excuse for anything and everything. I'd like step-by-step, minute-by-minute timeline on how exactly the risk of COVID delays things by days. I used to give this thing some leeway and benefit of doubt, but my default stance these days is that it is bullshit. Restroom closed? Because COVID. Fan not working in the office? COVID. Hiking trail fenced off? COVID. I can understand if someone is sick because of literally any disease or illness, we'd just make that an exception, not the norm.

Completely insane given how most websites default to the local currency based on IP, Airbnb included.

Interesting that the first online sale and the first Bitcoin transaction are both commonly accepted as being pizza.

Even with an embedded model, SRE leadership is responsible, first and foremost, for setting up tooling like observability and auto-healing (i.e. Kubernetes) for the company's workloads, which gets you about 90% of the way there. If Product can't keep their service online because they never wrote tests etc., then the way you "bolt reliability on the side" is, SRE leadership gives the exec the raw lack-of-availability numbers (see: observability tooling), then the exec tells Product to stop fudging around and prioritize making the availability numbers better. Then Product management freezes feature development and takes a vacation for a sprint (or two) while Product developers focus on bolstering their QA.

Eliminating qualified immunity won't help when judges are reluctant to award judgments against the whole department or the municipality that is responsible for them, which are not covered under qualified immunity. First you have to get the judges to stop protecting the executive side of the justice system, and then that may be enough already. (How long would a PD let these things go on if appropriate relief was awarded every time it happened?)
I'm the wrong person to steel-man the argument for qualified immunity, and will have to leave that to someone else.

I'd recommend this argument against, which does provide significant context:

> "The shooters are using weapons of war already. Assault rifles are for soldiers."

This is the kind of ignorance, in as non-pejorative sense as possible, that actually makes it harder for knowledgeable advocates of gun control to succeed. Repeating this is viewed akin to how we on HN would view anyone repeating the unintentionally hilarious "11 Signs Your Child Is A Hacker" (https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/signs-yo...).

At the distances involved and against untrained and unprotected victims, pistols (much easier to aim than a long arm), shotguns (more lethal), and hunting rifles (which use larger, more powerful bullets than assault rifles; look up "battle rifle") are just as effective at creating carnage. (Every last one of these types of firearms have been extensively used by soldiers in wartime as well, so the "weapons of war" fearmongering just sounds, well, ignorant and who takes uninformed opinions seriously?) So, to the point, what exactly do people think banning assault rifles will do other than cause the deranged to switch to one of these other types? It is pure security theater that is obvious even to non-firearms owners.

Ban the other types as well, you say? While some might wish otherwise, even less public support exists in the US for that since those are commonly owned for self-defense and for sport.

The Bay Area, from what I can tell, has a lot of faux-left people actually running the show. People who are actually left and not centrist have been pushing for some sort of rent/landlord reform for decades, and the landlords have enough money to continue resisting and probably will do so for quite some time.

I'm glad I don't live there, tbh, SF sounds like a boring version of the nightmare futures written about in dystopian fiction.

I suffer from periodic limb movement disorder. It’s actually the second most common sleep disorder after sleep apnea.

It’s restless legs, but it happens in deep sleep, when you’re unaware it’s happening.

Sleep apnea has tons of tech built up to help with the problem. Smart connected CPAPs that monitor your sleeping for you, for example.

But for periodic limb movements in deep sleep the specific need of tracking limb movements is not well covered. My sleep doctor suggested putting a fit bit on my ankle. This sort of works, but not well.

With such a large potential market, and totally plausible movement sensing products, I’m surprised more companies haven’t gotten specifically into limb movement monitoring during sleep.

I booked a place in Singapore for 30 days. Searched, found a place available for 30 days. It says 100% refundable. So I booked it. Received the notification. Great. 4 weeks before I was due to go to the place, Taiwan border opened up and we flew over asap. I had to cancel. Turns out they had hidden in the terms and conditions, not presented anywhere. If a booking is over 28 days it’s up to the owner to decide on refund policy, and the owner had decided it’s not refundable.

So fuck Airbnb.

I could have booked the same place on Agoda for about $200 more and had 100% cancellation as long as I cancel 24 hours before checkin.

I’ll use agoda in the future.

> Also typically language extensions are pretty simple, single purpose, and well documented.

I will try again to explain with an example how these extensions are borderline user-hostile.

One of those extensions in your article linked above is apparently something called `DoAndIfThenElse` which enables if..then..else syntax with if and then on the same line, so far as I can tell [1].

When building programs that assume this extension without declaring that pragma, you get helpful error messages like "Unexpected semi-colons in conditional" [2]. Dealing with oddities like this seems to be routine any time I work on a Haskell project that's not a tutorial, and the constant need to go hunting for these error messages and add random pragma headers saps energy and is discouraging.

There also seems to be an open issue about the extension being undocumented [3], which would seem to contradict your "well documented" claim.

Given such significant problems in a relatively simple extension, I cannot even imagine how bad things are in more complex cases. I think whoever is steering the ship in Haskell/GHC land should really focus on ways to freeze new language extensions, and make the current ones well-documented in addition to providing options like the one you linked. Newer languages have environments that are much friendlier towards newcomers in terms of both documentation and (for lack of a better word) runnability of real-world code.

----------------------------------------

[1] I would really like to know why this is considered a popular language extension, and/or why it was needed, but let's skip over that for the moment.

But Italy has the "normal" (schuko or French) plug. The old one (three holes in line) are in older houses mostly.

But there is a standardized plug that fits both schuko and French style sockets. That was probably why I didn't notice it earlier.
