I choose iPhone because of the additional privacy. I had Androids for years, got fed up with the setting and the choices that all seemed to result in poor experiences.

I chose to buy an iPhone because I only have Safari (it’s a feature - keeping the browser engine market diverse - otherwise welcome to Chromium). With only Safari on iPhones my default iPhone keychain is used, I get Hide my Email by default, etc.

It’s hard to keep up with.

This https://toolspace.dev/explore#products seems to be the list of open source tools/products known to this site.

I don't know how to search for specific tools, by certain tags.

When the tools are listed, there is an icon and name and a description but the extra tags that the site would use to find the tool are not visible.

I used their button to add a database (YottaDB) to see if the public can add tools.

Simple answer: Yes.

More complex answer:

1) The YottaDB tool I added does not really use github.com, but uses gitlab.com instead. They publish irregularly from gitlab to github, so I put in their github URL. No problem, but I can imagine a tool only being published on bitbucket, etc.

2) No place to add a description paragraph. But the existing tools seem to have one.

3) No place to add extra tags to make searching easier.
For example, YottaDB is used a lot in medical and financial institutions, but no way to say that.

4) Where would I put extra info like the sizes of databases it works well with, disk and memory, compatibility with various Operating Systems, network protocol compatible with PostgreSQL, etc.
Also on that slide: "has average 3.14% grade". I assume that doesn't mean the rock consists of 3.14% of the target element, but is 3.14% of whatever ore they're targeting, right?
Yeah, I see this concern. Nevertheless I think I'll get used to saving typing `cat` rather quickly.
IMO the main problem is that it isn't clear how updates will work. Some of the curl-to-bash scripts don't do anything in regards to updates at all, some add a PPA/similar on ubuntu/debian/fedora/etc.

It'd be nice to know what and how I should manage updates.
Interesting!

That aligns with my understanding is that the real revolution of the iron age was not that iron was a superior material (at least initially), but that it was much more abundant than copper and (especially) tin for bronze, which democratized which people and societies were able to build iron gear.

A compelling theory to me of the late bronze age collapse is that in the bronze age, you had a very globalized society for the purpose of keeping the bronze supply chain intact. But ironworking eliminated the interdependence and the importance of the elite networks that sustained the supply chain. So then the whole "civilized" world quickly fragmented into much more micro polities. Many of the states that made the transition from Bronze Age to Iron Age relatively intact already had well developed ironworking.

The Assyrians were able to build a new value proposition for international empire. They institutionalized many of the civil and engineering innovations we attribute to the post-Roman world, kicking off what would become the classical era.

> What is obvious here is that the poor neighborhoods are profitable while the affluent neighborhoods are not. Throughout the poor neighborhoods, the city is -- TODAY -- bringing in more revenue than they will spend to maintain the neighborhood, and that's assuming they actually invest the money to maintain the neighborhood (which they have not been). If they fail to maintain the neighborhood, the profit margins will be even higher.

Yeah but cloud infra is a competitive market with multiple players, it's not like they're going to just buy a monthly AWS contract. They will probably have a cloud migration strategy, multiple year fixed contract, and multi-cloud support.
fwiw - darktable 3.8.1 runs for me on macos 10.13.6 (2011 17" mbp) and macos 10.15.7 (2013 27" iMac). App launch takes some moments on both, but responsiveness and performance is fine+ once running. Imports (without copy) works well enough for me. The *collections* and *film rolls* I've imported from non-local sources (NFS, SMB, ssh/sftp) 'complain' with a strikethrough on re-launch, but the thumbnails and metadata remain present locally even when disconnected.
I actually think the people who think they'll be exempt are basically right. It's not like a tornado is going to pick your house up (unless, unfortunately that is exactly what happens).

Sure, there are going to be hotter hot spells, and more extreme cold spells, but that's not seriously something that a New Yorker can't deal with.

What is going to happen is poor people, foreign people, are going to starve to death and drown trying to get to safety, and the problem won't be climate challenge, it'll be illegal immigrants.

It's not going to happen first to middle-america. It's going to happen to Mexico, North Africa, the Middle East. And we're not going to say "hey, this is a universal issue created by emissions that our countries benefitted from". It's going to be talk about economic migrants, or how we can't afford to help them because we have problems at home. Bold prediction: Shipping them to Rwanda isn't going to be sustainable.
> This is not the mark of a show that they plan to renew. :-(

Amazon doesn't own the TV/movie rights of The Expanse (beyond the seasons they funded), they're owned by Alcon Entertainment. So basically, whatever Amazon does or doesn't plan to do is kind of irrelevant and there isn't really anything stopping from the show appearing on, say, Netflix, or the BBC in a few years time. This is also why it transferred from SyFy to Amazon relatively easily.

I can't speak to how hard surgery is to perform but I will say, from talking to surgeons, it sounds like deciding when to operate (and to what extent) is more difficult than actually performing the surgery in a lot of circumstances.
It seems like bun caches the manifest responses. PNPM, for example, resolves all package versions when installing (without a lockfile), which is slower. The registry does have a 300 second cache time, so not faulting you there, but it means your benchmark is on the fully cached path, which you'd only hit when installing something for the first time. Subsequent installs would use the lockfile and bun and PNPM seem fast* in that case.

If I install a simple nextjs app, then remove node_modules, the lockfile, and the ~/.bun/install/cache/*.npm files (i.e. keep the contents, remove the manifests) and then install, bun takes around ~3-4s. PNPM is consistently faster for me at around ~2-3s.

I'm not familiar with bun's internals so I may be doing something wrong.

One piece of feedback, having the lockfile be binary is a HUGE turn off for me. Impossible to diff. Is there another format?

* I will mention that even in the best case scenario with PNPM (i.e. lockfile and node_modules) it still takes 400ms to start up, which, yes, is quite slow. So every action APART from the initial install is much MUCH faster with bun. I still feel 400ms is good enough for a package manager which is invoked sporadically. Compare that to esbuild which is something you invoke constantly, and having that be fast is such a godsend.
But this technique lets you serve malicious code to a small number of people using curl|bash, rather than hosting obviously-bad binaries that anyone can inspect and call you out on. It also lets you target the attack to specific users or IP blocks.

First and most important thing to know about homeschooling is:
If you're trying to recreate how the public school does it, you're doing it wrong. None of the families I know that tried to mimic public school have continued homeschooling. It's too hard on both the kids and parents.

Homeschooling has so much more freedom. You don't need a desk or set hours to do subject A. You don't need thick textbooks or long lectures (although your kids might want those as well).

We've always focused on teaching our kids how to learn. Once you get them there, they can find their way to anything they need for the rest of their lives.

In the early years (think k-3rd), that means they need the skills of reading and writing and basic math. There's a lot of repetition required to get those skills. Those are the hardest homeschool years.

We focus on unit studies on subjects that the child is interested in. If it's Dinosaurs, we read history about dinos, watch videos on science about dinos, do math about dinos, visit museums, go fossil hunting - dive deep into everything dinos and the child hardly knows they're learning along the way as their interest is driving and motivating them. Soon enough, dinosaurs aren't fun anymore so we plod along until the next thing catches their excitement and now we're studying the history of cars, the science of cars, we're out in the garage working on the car...

These are teachable moments and we have to take advantage of those opportunities to take leaps forward in learning.

There will be some things they aren't interested in that they need to learn anyway. We sprinkle those 'have to learn' things in with the 'fun to learn' and try to keep the knowledge gaps at a minimum.

Teaching them how to research, where to find information (book and experiencial), is the best thing they can learn because it will help the learn anything else they'll need in life.

Don't forget moral training. That's where local homeschool co-ops and enrichment programs can be helpful so your kids can share social experiences in a learning environment.

As a wise man once said about raising kids, the days are long but the years are short. Make the most of them.
Yes, people want what you describe too.

While most of the things here are desirable to a user I imagine the cost of compliance would be enormous for Apple, not to mention that it will take years.

Even if they do comply, I wouldn't imagine them enabling these for NON-EU countries. They might do a fork and provide slow updates to EU customers or some other way of punishing the users.

On the side of the EU, the legislation is a bit too targeted causing a bit of concern to wheather they found the right balance between user rights and stifling private companies.

Some of EU legislation has had disastrous side effects like GDPR, this might as well bring unexpected consequences.
>At least in the US, my lay-intuition is that you wouldn't see much of a difference between average Americans between urban, suburban, and rural settings.

It wouldn't surprise me, but that would call into question the entire notion that the article is attempting to create -- that urban (and therefore non-urban) is the key factor in the differences it mentions in gut flora.
> You can't have a single source of truth for presentation decisions in a multilingual product. Different languages have different typographic traditions, will demand different minimum container sizes based on word lengths and maybe this is shocking but they sometimes run in different directions.

Maybe this is shocking but I'm fluent in a language that is sometimes written veritcally.

"You can't have one single common presentation for every translation" is true in an absolute sense but often not true in practice – eg) we hit most of Europe and North, Central, and South America with ~10 static translations rendered into one common presentational template, none of which run into any of the truly complex layout differences that right-to-left or vertical presentations would bring. We extensively QA all of the languages we do support, and presentation issues are truly pretty damn rare. It's your classic "80% of the result for 20% of the effort" tradeoff.

Now, if you truly do need to localize in every language under the sun then yeah, something like this can make sense, as it gives you maximum flexibility wrt to varying your layout alongside the translation.

But if you have any simpler use-case (eg. supporting just English, Spanish, French and Portuguese will give you an enormous chunk of the planet with minimal overhead, as they have very similar word lengths and presentation requirements) then the approach here is just taking on all of the effort and maintenance overhead of the maximally-complex case when you have absolutely no need to.

I’ve been playing DnD/RPGs off and on since 1980. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that the most important part of gaming has always been camaraderie and shared experiences; ‘storytelling’ hasn’t even been in the top three, as nice to have as stories are.

DnD does nothing novel with storytelling; in fact, it just borrows ideas and tropes from fiction and history.
> This is an unfounded fear, you have placed the cart before the horse. It was much worse in the past without things like flatpak and docker.

Not really. "In the past" we could write hermetic packaging for our software so it doesn't break, but GNOME decided not to do that (despite the fact that Hurd and Nix both provide sane jumping-off points). They chose instead to create a world where we coddle our developers with a 1.6gb thick runtime that is apparently required to run a 4mb program. That is insane, and I'm not walking it back. There are real solutions to system breakage, and history has dictated that thick runtimes literally never work out well!

I don't really care though. I haven't had software break on APT or Nix in over 5 years of usage. Last night I boot up a Flatpak and it turns out they still haven't fixed the horrible font rendering issues in GTK4. If you still have problems with your software when you're running it with multiple gigabytes of explicit dependencies actively loaded on my system, what are we even doing here? I've had more problems dealing with Flatpak than I have with any other package manager, and I've only ever tried 3 or 4 programs with the damn thing. I can't imagine how useless a system like Silverblue would feel... Thankfully though, much like Wayland, there's no real motivation to switch to Flatpak besides a couple GNOME apps, which I'm pretty sure most people don't really want anyways (a clock app that's more than 1000mb to download? it's more likely than you might think!)

> As for the rest of your comment, it's not compelling to use 4chan trolling to make your case.

That's fine, I've known that ever since I wondered why there still aren't thumbnails in GNOME's filepicker (whaddya know, looks like stopping people from using their native filepicker is the parent article today). GNOME's developers will ignore me the same as everyone else who makes suggestions for them, so there's no point in filing issues (especially since I don't use their DE anyways).

I don't really care about the emotional appeals of my argument here. This is a well-documented shortcoming, and many people on HN seem to agree that GNOME's leadership is on a power-high right now.
This. I cannot upvote this enough. Many people advocating for drastic measures (which may be necessary) are in a war. Casualties to be expected, those who are not on our side are enemies to be dealt with as the war times require (this is also the theme of the original article: let's grab the wheel and swerve, and if the bus rolls, well, too bad).

That is a possible approach, but once you start on that path there is no more negotiation. Only the force, us vs them. Then most folks on the sidelines who are somewhat supportive but not thrilled about swerving of the bus they ride in become active adversaries. I would not underestimate that factor. My 2c.
For historical methods, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_longitude#Methods_o....

Given the presence of an internet connection, I think it’s easiest to query a time server at midday (detected by detecting the time when the sun is highest above the horizon/shadows are shortest) to get longitude.

(Latitude is relatively simple; one can, for example, use a sextant to measure the height of the pole star above the horizon)
Turkey is in NATO, not in the EU. I believe elections are to happen next year, although democracy in Turkey is probably not going to get better for it.

These are legitimate concerns. Looking at the history of bun and its current homepage the main point is that it offers a dramatic speed improvement (plus misc. quality of life stuff).

At this point the ball is in your (and everyone else's) court to put these claims to the test. It should not be terribly hard to see if the speedup is worth your while or not, JS surely doesn't lack bloated projects that you can try to build. My own personal blog is a bloated Gatsby mess that takes half a minute to build.

That's the one true part of the experience that nobody can falsify.

If they're pushing a browser that the user doesn't have installed, it's more than giving the user choice, it's blatant cross-promotion.

As I said, the UI iOS provides should be fixed (including a selector when the user taps a link) but at the same time, Google should not be able to use the install base of its various other apps to bolster adoption of Chrome.
Actually I find this stuff pretty annoying already. Cars nowadays (some do it worse than others) "alert" you of lots of stuff. Such as "lane departure" beeps if you didn't use the blinker. Yes sure, using the blinker is a good idea. Is it really 100% necessary in all situations? Absolutely not. Of course technically the beeping car is correct and making you adhere to the rules of the road. In practice it's just annoying.

Now queue this. This has the potential to really go incredibly wrong. You mention shoddy drivers for who it can be pretty unsafe. Even if there's only a tiny percentage of drivers out there that is shoddy, multiplied by the number of drivers, it's still a lot. And I would argue that the percentage of shoddy drivers is actually not such a tiny percentage but a larger one.

This has to be automatically overridable. I.e. by simply hitting the gas pedal. It can't be something special you need to do. If there's a dangerous situation on the road that can only be avoided by speeding up beyond the speed limit, I don't have time to remember where that extra special button is that I almost never use. I need to be able to just hit the gas pedal. If you're wondering what situation that might be, there's actually such a situation that I remember from my driver's license test. Basically something unforeseen happens (don't remember the specific, but let's say a car shoots out of a hidden driveways or something) and you have no space on the left or right (let's say a bunch of trees, houses etc.) so you can't just go there. You don't have enough space to stop the car before hitting that car, so hitting the brakes is out of the question. You have oncoming traffic on the other lane as well but that car is still far enough away that if you shift down one gear and hit the gas pedal, you can swerve around the unforeseen obstacle without crashing head-on with the oncoming traffic on the other lane. I need one hand to shift, the other to steer and those two things already take all of my concentration not to mention the split second decision to see that braking will cause a crash while speeding up will save the day.

Nice "trick question" though :)
I used to agree with your opinion. Then I worked as an engineering manager at Capital One (deep learning, not infrastructure) and I saw all of the good reasons they had to move to AWS.

How do you "follow the needles" when the machine has no screens and I guess all you have is communication is with a person outside the machine who tells you where you are? Normally, you'd have a visual on the runway when you land, so I can understand its much more difficult when you're sitting in a dark box with someone just instructing you what to do. Flying by instrument is really really hard, especially if you have zero training.

And we mustn't forget that Big Tech companies neither pay many taxes in Europe nor do they employ a lot of people either. Most of their development and production happens elsewhere.

(Relative to their size).

They have therefore little political pull on European legislator's (beside flat out bribing them which, despite everything, isn't helping them).

The cherry on top is that all those regulations can be used in negotiations with the US in the future (e.g. to provide EU law enforcement with equal access to the data of American citizens)
