Because the big media and tech companies hate computers that don't obey them.

Microsoft, ibm, hp, intel and the like have been working on removing software ownership from the public purposely. They want a future where all bytes and instructions are encrypted.

From 1960's to roughly the early 2000's, all computers you bought ran local software exe's in plain text , aka you could open up the .exe, .com or .dll file and reverse engineer it and restore missing functions to get older software running on newer systems.

Valve, ms and the rest have been attacking us owning our own shit for over 2 decades now and they are trying to criminalize owning a general computer.

MMO's were rebranded PC rpg's, so that the game industry could steal pc games and not give us the complete files for the game we were paying for to prevent piracy but they really want monopoly profits.

You can find countless games who had their multiplayer networking code ripped out so game companies could disable their games remotely, that can't happen with gmaes in the 90's (quake, warcraft 1-3, starcraft 1 and diablo 1-2) because they were local applications. You got all the files and code to run the entire game locally.

They want to take us back to vendor locked devices of the 60's with IBM mainsframe, the internet is one giant Personal planet sized computer toa software company and our old non hardware drm'd pc's are malfunctioning chips in their desire for monopoly profits.

What microsoft+ big media companies want the future to be:

Piracy is just a scapegoat the corproate world is mass dispossessing the stupid and ignoring mmo/drm loving masses.

https://torrentfreak.com/esa-reports-game-piracy-file-hostin...

These "pirate" claims are just pro corporate propaganda, they want to eliminate software ownership.

https://torrentfreak.com/major-persistent-video-game-pirates...

Then see down here where tifca (intel, microsoft and the rest) is them cheering the public being so stupid.

AKA they know they got it in the bag from the days of ultima online and everquest in 1999, then we got steam in 2003, all those "software as a service" apps are 100% proof our species are idiots. None of these programs need to be split into two exe's and run over a network, so we're losing our privacy and control of our pc's and computing devices.

So the army of lobbyists is being paid big money to ban regular pc's as they lock down the internet with new 'trusted' hardware that hardware companies in co-operating with intel and microsoft have been working on for over 20 years.

Not many people will accept a prescription of "stop eating shit all the time and exercise ", unfortunately.
I am in agreement. Speech can cause harm, and like all things that can be used to cause harm to another person, should have safe-guards in place to prevent that harm.
I'm looking forward to watching this. I wonder if it talks about Spiderisland BBS Software. This was my very first piece of software that opened up how to connect using a modem to another computer. The developers were really friendly and often interacted with the users as well.
> The MLS live and on-demand content on the Apple TV app will be available to anyone with internet access across all devices where the app can be found, including iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV 4K, and Apple TV HD; Samsung, LG, Panasonic, Sony, TCL, VIZIO, and other smart TVs; Amazon Fire TV and Roku devices; PlayStation and Xbox gaming consoles; Chromecast with Google TV; and Comcast Xfinity. Fans can also watch on tv.apple.com.

The wide platform availability is an absolute win. Are there any big streaming dongles / systems that aren't covered here?
Ugh. I enjoy the GNOME look and feel but every thread on their big tracker makes me want to switch desktop environments. "Your standard is irrelevant because we don't want to follow it" is something I'd sooner expect from Microsoft than from an open source collective.
I like this kind of answer. You are trying to be the leetcode alternative, which I fully support. I have previously written on HN about my most common interview programming question: "Please implement the classic C function atoi() in any language of your choice. Do not use built-in string-to-number functions." This question has a lot of edge cases, but it is simple enough to program on whiteboard, paper, text editor, weird-IDE-that-I-never-used-before-this-interview(!). The questions that people ask and how they explain their solution says a lot about them as engineers.

> They are homeless for six weeks or fewer; 40 percent have a job.

Huh. So whenever a city pats itself on it's back for how many people it has homed, it's very likely the majority were people who were going to get back on their feet anyway.
> For me, I think I'd just quit if I was told to lay off people on my team. Maybe that's hard to do in the moment, since I'd also not want to lose my job in a major crisis, but it sounds awful.

Typically layoffs happen for a reason - if its the company failing and trying to survive, it's not a bad idea to jump ship. If its economic (like all of the layoffs right now) - it's a bad idea to jump to a new job if you can avoid it -- you may very well get hired, and laid off as a new hire.
Which is pretty rare and the reason you know they are wrong is because science proves them wrong - later. The thing most people don't get is that if you want a pick viable strategy, then it's not enough to simply criticize one of the candidates (candidate strategies), in this case the "listen to science/experts". You have to evaluate the alternatives too. Because you have to chose something, because you will pick and follow one strategy.

I've already suggested a lot of people to come up with an alternative but I'm yet to see one. Of course, you'd have to explain why it works better.
The patents that they showcased when I was there were so funny. Truly quantity over quality.

My favorite was a patent for a mobile phone password input box. The innovation was that as you type your password, your phone's rotation (I think it was just 4 possible rotations) was recorded per-character as you typed. So hunter2 might be encoded as "h-0° u-90° n-270°..." etc.

I love imagining Apple starting to develop this for iPhones until one of their lawyers delivers the bad news.
Which, as it turns out, was written by the same person as features in the OP, Randy Linden
The GBA was still sold for four+ years after the DS came out, and games were still popular.

The DS being able to play GBA games was a huge selling point, as people forget how "radical" the dual screens were and how uncertain it was that people would adapt, so having the GBA fallback was nice.

Also, the DS was a better GBA than the GBA.
The SAME key would make text "look the same".

Found at: https://issuu.com/65c02/docs/50890515

"You can select the object(s) to be changed, pus the SAME key, then designate the objects to use as the source. COPY PROPERTIES makes the selection look the "same" as the source. this is particularly useful in graphics editing. Frequently you will have a collection of lines and symbols whose appearance you want to be coordinated (all the same line width, share of grey, etc.). You can select all the objects to be changes, push SAME, and select a line or symbol having the desired appearance."

And AGAIN does what you would mostly expect:

"AGAIN repeats the last command(s) on a new selection. All the commands done since the last time a selection was made are repeated. this is useful when a short sequence of commands needs to be done on several different selections; for example, make several scattered words bold and italic in a larger font."

"MOVE" is "cut" in modern lingo; I think that COPY/MOVE works in a way with "selections" in such a way that you don't need a "PASTE", but I can't really make it out from just that document (which I didn't read in full, I should add).

No mention of the KEYBOARD key; can't think of anything that's supposed to do either.
Dont get why you are being downvoted.
I think this is where we are heading.
Looking forward to the day when Linux becomes the de facto OS that MS and Apple look up to for inspiration.
It was. Now it is a full featured and lightweight DE.

I've switched from Gnome after 15 years to Plasma 5, and I've never been so happy.

Contrary to Gnome, Plasma is lightweight, works out of the box without 3rd party extensions, but yet 3rd party themes and extensions are 1st class citizens.

> As for the UK, when the majority of the economic and refugee's arrive via safe countries like France then it kinda adds a whole layer of debate that you just don't get with other countries migrant/refugee problems.

I think a country which in the last 3 years had a melt down because they couldn't buy toilet paper; Crashed the supply chains for petrol and diesel by sheer panic; and thought it was a national crisis when KFC ran out of chicken should perhaps wind it's fucking neck in.

It is only natural that people fleeing persecution or not attempt to find a place which gives them the greatest opportunity to have a decent life. There are many contributing factors here everything from prior knowledge of English, family connections and reunification laws.
Would the Chevy volt be a counter example,or the wildly popular prius?

Arguably range is still a problem for any EV on a long distance road trip - lack of charging stations (even for a Tesla, some routes are ok, but nothing guaranteed about any route). So if long distance trips are generally out, the previously mentioned cars did have enough range for around town and then some - similar to Tesla
My opinion, I feel like Tesla ownership is overrepresented in specific metro areas, creating a bit of a bubble perception effect (if a person looks at SF or Seattle alone, one would think Tesla is crushing everything else, yet overall they still sell a fraction of what the other automakers are selling)
Note to myself: Remember to tick underrepresented minority on job aplications.

This is wrong and if it's the same idea floating around Twitter based on page 17 of the 13D, it's definitely wrong. People are misinterpreting a reference to no longer being subject to seller's due diligence because financing has been secured, i.e. the buyer is qualified.
Glasses are not drugs. That's not at all equivalent.

These drugs are altering brain chemistry and one's natural state so they fit into the unnatural environment that is school. It's horrifying to me that people are doing mental gymnastics to defend drugging kids who don't want to sit at a desk for hours every day memorizing useless information. If I was a kid today I'd fit the qualifications and be drugged to better fit into that environment. It's a crime that future generations will be rightly horrified by. Not unlike how we are starting to be horrified by the treatment of animals in factory farms. We're not treating these kids much better.
People dying is a small price to pay for free speech.

Of course, if everyone died and the last person was able to speak freely, it would be worth it.

Everything else is trading safety for liberty.

Slippery slopes of free speech crackdowns inevitably lead to loss of liberty.

Leave if you don't like it.

Absolutism in free speech is the only justifiable position.

The problem with successfully silencing people is that you tend not to hear about it. Still, some examples can be found[0]. Take one where France used their hate speech laws to ban dissent from their foreign policy:

>In 2015, France’s highest court upheld the criminal conviction of 12 pro-Palestinian activists for violating restrictions against hate speech. Their crime? Wearing T-shirts that advocated a boycott of Israel — “Long live Palestine, boycott Israel,” the shirts read — which, the court ruled, violated French law that “prescribes imprisonment or a fine of up to $50,000 for parties that ‘provoke discrimination, hatred or violence toward a person or group of people on grounds of their origin, their belonging or their not belonging to an ethnic group, a nation, a race or a certain religion.'”

Or in the United Kingdom,

>In 2010, a militant atheist was given a six-month suspended sentence for leaving anti-Christian and anti-Islam fliers in a religious room of the Liverpool airport; according to the BBC, “jurors found him guilty of causing religiously aggravated intentional harassment.”

I've seen this in action: A startup I did consulting work for had a "genius" who convinced management that everything should be written in Haskell. As a consequence building a team was painfully slow, so slow that some guy in a weekend recreated in node.js what their 15 people team had painstaking put together in 3 months. Turns out doing a web service with tools meant for it was better than "everything should be functional".
It's telling that people are swarming to point out the 1 'technically incorrect' entry in this list, whilst completely ignoring all the others.
Sure, this is a sweet little hit of nostalgia -- but it's also symptomatic of just how far Apple's come (back) with the Mac, and why. It's clear that we're way, way over the doldrums of the butterfly keyboard, abandoned Mac Pro, "continues to be a product in our line-up" years. Little things like this, little acknowledgements of the past and the Mac community, suggest to me why: the people in charge of the Mac are now people who _grew up with it_, who love it, and who have that same nostalgia as (some) of us outside Apple.

They want the Mac to be great, too! If this was strictly playing on nostalgia it would have been a bit PR feature, or at least called out in WWDC. But instead it's just dropped in as an easter egg. Such a great sign.
What makes the ADL an authority on hate speech?
It's not simply being "more distracted", that's oversimplification to the extent of belittling people who have the disorder.

Fully developed or not, ADHD doesn't disappear. Neither does it change if someone wants fully working executive functioning or control over their "train of thought".

The "focus" is worth it, especially if you make a fair comparison with those that weren't so lucky to get help.
I agree. Each entity pulling its material so it can launch it on its own platform (recent example: Paramount Plus), is ridiculous. 10 different streaming services, a good £80+ a month. Each with its own app that has a different look & feel and navigation.

May as well just go back to the 1 provider model (cable/sat). At least you’ve only got 1 EPG etc to deal with.

I’ll add that this fragmentation also encourages piracy.

There’s a great business opportunity for a startup of they can strike deals with all streaming services & offer a single view/epg/site that presents all of the services you’re subscribed to in a single consistent way.

I don't know what this means, or what this implies.
This is completely tangential and a purely anecdotal observation but I find it interesting that big movements in the "year of the linux desktop" usually come in some very specific use case like ChromeOS or SteamOS.
The suggestions here aren't really great. What you should do is already written in the fork(2) manpage https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/fork.2.html

"After a fork() in a multithreaded program, the child can safely call only async-signal-safe functions (see signal-safety(7)) until such time as it calls execve(2)."

So just use only async-singal-safe function

I don't know why so many people still hit this issue when it already told you what you can do and not do in the document. I've done this sort of things without any issue.
I used to read the source code before I managed to find a guide and I never won the game. That could be Hack, not Nethack, too many years passed by.
Free speech was never about consequent-free speech.

The philosophers behind Free Speech even concluded that expression which harms individuals should be prevented, aka harm principle:

> That principle is, that the sole end for which mankind are warranted, individually or collectively, in interfering with the liberty of action of any of their number, is self-protection. That the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilised community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others.

This is the odd one out here. Showing your grief about an undesirable decision is one thing. But implying that you're making significant decisions about your employees' welfare in a deteriorated mental state is wildly unprofessional (even if truthful).
I’m curious about what other path do you see for the authorities to effectively deal with sever online abuse that results in irl damage.

Do you see a country that successfully navigated the issue ?

To note, under this law the charges still need to go to a judge to decide how heavy any of it should be.
I absolutely agree. Fuzzy laws are tools for tyrants.

But I don't have a legal definition, while I do have that link.
Maybe more averse to it than other cultures. But godlessness might not be the cause. (There are many Westerners that are godfull and yet this is a general Western thing.)
This doesn't surprise me. I've been prescribed Ritalin at times both as a child and an adult in small doses. It is a remarkable strong medication, and operates much like I imagine recreational drugs operate - there's a definite strong high, and an equally brutal comedown afterword. I would be extremely cautious about prescribing this to anyone, especially children unless nearly every other kind of intervention has been explored.

If you are a parent and considering Ritalin for your child, first ask yourself if you'd consider legal cocaine to be a reasonable solution for your child. If that sounds insane to you, then you should consider the fact that Ritalin is probably not so different.
How do you define discrimination and harassment precisely, so that the line is clearly drawn and does not slip?
i would call that leetcode style i guess i have a broader interpretation than what most people have in mind. it's more easily memorized IMO than traditional leetcode - atoi and std::string class are very common questions nowadays.

As an engineer, I love hearing that marketing is wrong and engineering is perfect. But how do you explain the Sega Saturn? A half-baked, expensive and overly complex system driven by Sega of Japan & hated by Sega of America.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_Saturn#Development

> In 1993, Sega and Japanese electronics company Hitachi formed a joint venture to develop a new CPU for the Saturn, which resulted in the creation of the "SuperH RISC Engine" (or SH-2) later that year ... According to Sega of America president Tom Kalinske, Sega of America "fought against the architecture of Saturn for quite some time".[18] Seeking an alternative graphics chip for the Saturn, Kalinske attempted to broker a deal with Silicon Graphics, but Sega of Japan rejected the proposal ... In particular, Dreisbach criticized the Saturn's use of quadrilaterals as its basic geometric primitive, in contrast to the triangles rendered by the PlayStation and the Nintendo 64.

Recorded history also shows that the broader industry was not happy with Sega of Japan's hardware decisions, that Sega of Japan loved pushing for super-cool & interesting engineering that was way too ahead of its time.

https://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/4128/the_rise_and_fal...

> According to Gordon, Sega had flip-flopped over whether to include a modem, but it also picked the wrong chipset. "I remember our CTO (chief technology officer) talking about the processor and going, 'Oh my God, I don't know anybody who has even heard of this chip. It's non-standard and there are no libraries for it.' It was kind of a slap in the face. But even then, at first blush, EA is thinking, 'It's Sega. We've got to support them.' You know, we went to war with them on Genesis and did great things. So the chipset alone was not enough to stop EA from working on it."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreamcast#Hardware

> He further stated that "Sega's relationship with NEC, a Japanese company, probably made a difference [in Sega's decision to adopt the Japanese team's design] too."[33] Stolar, on the other hand, "felt the U.S. version, the 3Dfx version, should have been used. Japan wanted the Japanese version, and Japan won."[33] As a result, 3dfx filed a lawsuit against both Sega and NEC claiming breach of contract, which would eventually be settled out of court.[32] The choice to use the PowerVR architecture concerned Electronic Arts (EA), a longtime developer for Sega's consoles. EA had invested in 3dfx but was unfamiliar with the selected architecture, which was reportedly less powerful
There is something to be said comparing the modern hate speech vs free speech debate to defamation and libel civil cases that have already been established across the world – and how we as a society handle weaponized language.
I wonder if it's a "horoscope reading" kind of feeling, but I just identify so much with these descriptions of ADHD.
