I think “highly inadequate” is a big exaggeration. As an example, many people are fairly productive on slack. (Arguably more productive than email.) Native slack is nearly equivalent to web. Another example is google sheets or google docs.

I do agree native had some big benefits. Probably the biggest hindrance to web is that you’re basically downloading the binary from the server and then executing it in line. That leads to a ton of performance optimizations (like optimizing bundle size or async loading things) which make things fairly complicated (webpack) and can also lead to UX compromises. None of which is a problem for native apps.

Agreed. Tailscale has been the first product that has surprised me with delight in quite a long time. It does “just work”, and does so very well in my experience.
That first sentence is not a good way to sum up what happened. Dual EC isn't "weak"; it's pretty plainly a backdoor.

(I'm among an elite cadre† of cryptography-adjacents who felt it probably wasn't, but only because I thought it was too stupid to actually be used anywhere --- as soon as it was disclosed that (a) it was a default-yes algorithm in BSAFE and (b) big companies actually used BSAFE in important products, it was immediately clear what was going on).

The idea of Dual EC is essentially that your output is internal RNG state encrypted with a public key, leaving open the obvious question of "who has the private key?". I think we all know the answer to that now.

Looks like the driver can disable the system, if the manufacturer allows. I'm sure popular "driver's cars" will offer this feature.

> While the law does recommend drivers be able to switch off ISA “when a driver experiences false warnings or inappropriate feedback as a result of inclement weather conditions, temporarily conflicting road markings in construction zones, or misleading, defective or missing road signs,” it doesn’t make it a requirement.
And you think Apple can't negotiate that?

Contrary to what people think, good design is explainable, though designers may do most of the creation in their head. It's like asking why some code should be written this way, there's always a good explanation for good code.

Good design comes from a process, UIUX design for example is a result of product design, which is a result of user needs analysis and requirements gathering in the form of understanding a problem domain deep enough to know what is wrong with the current design, or what is expected of the functionality. This is not about vague "design thinking", but actual auditable design processes that lead to a good product.

>I can point to multiple specific instances where gnome developers were rude, unhelpful, arrogant, etc

I too can point to multiple specific instances where Linux developers were rude, or where gcc developers were rude, or where SDL developers were rude, or where a lot of other developers were rude. I bet someone could dig through your comment history and find instances where you were rude and unhelpful too, probably even more if you shared any comments from when you were a young teenager. I hope you can see that it is completely ridiculous (and somewhat creepy) for someone to do that to you. Open source programmers just disagree sometimes, and sometimes they have a bad day and aren't totally professional about it, and in larger projects it is a lot more visible than on smaller ones. All you can ask of them is for an apology and then move on. It is unreasonable to expect anything else or to keep harping on this years after the fact.

Also it is completely ridiculous that this thread is getting derailed again into complaints about missing features in GNOME. Lennart isn't a GNOME contributor, I don't think he has written any significant code for GNOME at all. The fact that nonsense conflation is being used should be a "snap back to reality" moment. Just don't do it. This always seems to happen and it's always from the same suspects trying to revive the same old >=10 year old forum threads. Please give it a rest and try to do something positive instead, don't let the lwn trolls get inside your head. You are generalizing an entire group of people based on some cherry picked interactions that both of us likely lack the context to fully understand, unless you were "behind the curtain" like the parent comment actually was. If you weren't, then it is just another tone policing comment from the peanut gallery, the kind you probably would find to be bad if they were made from random users on your projects.

>At some point I suppose I'll get around to documenting the times gnome developers were publicly assholes to other open source contributors, but honestly I'd rather let it go and just ignore the whole project as much as I'm able to.

Letting it go is probably the right choice. If you want to revisit it, I have a suggestion: why don't you go through and publicly document all the times they did something right or the times they were nice to people, and then praise them for that and encourage them to do more of that. Surely you understand that it is not useful to keep beating a horse that died long ago. Just focus on the positive, if the worst thing they did is send some slightly unprofessional email 5-10 years ago (as if most open source developers in the 1990s-2000s didn't do that at some point, I think I lost count of the number of flamewars I read from that period) then it really should not be hard to find some examples of good.

Over time this should result in speed limits adjusting to how fast people actually drive, rather than it always being assumed that people drive faster by 10 mph or whatever.
I totally agree. It feels very plausible that the universe started with and runs on consciousness, along the lines of the creation myths that go from 1 to many.

Ask HN: Is there an equivalent Hacker News in China?
Hi HN, is there an equivalent of Hacker News that is popular in China? I'm thinking of tech-focused news sites that have significant influence on the tech scene in China, with discussions, upvotes, etc. Ideally it would be translatable via Google Translate or have an english language version.
I'm not sure if text is the ideal way to look at memory. Perhaps something like a color gradient. With special cases for 0x00 and 0xff. But the Hilbert curve is neat.
No, that is very wrong. GNOME can be used on it if you use elogind.

Truthfully, they will not adopt OpenRC because OpenRC is not at all comparable to systemd.
Passing a slow car (driving below the limit) on two lane undivided highway. You could pass them at the speed limit, but its safer to just speed up while passing the car and then reduce your speed when you are back in your lane.

I had to do this multiple times passing RVs while on a road trip this weekend.
Software is also limited by the laws of physics, which is the actual hardware (silicon) it’s running on. Things like CPU clock speed, IPC, memory latency and throughput are all constrained by things like the speed of light, capacitor physics, current status of silicon technology and manufacturing, etc.

So when a web app performs sluggish on commodity devices, it’s because the devs haven’t put thought into the actual physical constraints of CPU and memory. It’s just plain bad engineering.

(You might say that the whole browser DOM/JS model is at fault, but then that’s bad engineering for the Web spec designers. To be fair though, things like the DOM and JS were invented about 3 decades ago at the time when computer performance was increasing so fast that people really didn’t think about these constraints seriously. Nowadays things are different, and these initial design decisions are biting us…)
I'd argue that it's almost never correct to drive the speed limit. In the US at least they are almost universally slower than the natural speed of the road by 5-10 mph and everyone speeds a bit all the time.

Can any solution to this problem have a measurable solution? The problem domain is the experience of subjectivity itself.
This is factually false in my case since ALSA alone has always been fine, no issues. And since I switched (with the same hardware) pipewire also works just fine. But pulseaudio (pa+alsa ofc) is just simply broken on my archlinux install.

EDIT: also when pulseaudio breaks you just do `pulseaudio --kill ; pulseaudio --start` Does this really reset the hardware/firmware? I doubt it; it's just configured poorly for my hardware why is that hard to believe?

Sounds like having the theoretical ability to disobey those stops and drive super-fast through them will buy you very little. That's a kind of freedom you only get to exercise once in your life.

+1, or run your own lobste.rs.
I agree, but I don't think that would be a good thing.

I suppose if the end result was that speed limits got adjusted up 5-10 mph to match the speed of the road it would be fine. I doubt this would happen in general, and I know it wouldn't happen universally.

I'm not denying that there are people who want to live there. It's obvious there are (and that there are growth trends, particularly as snowbirds seem to be discarding Florida as their first choice).

The dispute is about scale: a couple of million retirees equal a lot of speculative housing value, but they don't justify a megaproject to deliver water to the middle of the desert. That would require population migration on a scale not seen in over a century in the US.
I don't think so, it looks like it's making a fairly generic 64 bit computer, with the mentioned nvme being the only notable component.
That might be right, but suddenly enforcing a limit when overtaking can easily cause an accident.

And speeding might not be that bad, many of them seem outdated or plain wrong, to the point where it's safe to go 10-20km/h faster, and in some places ridiculous not to go faster.
After 15 years...
There are still tons of cars from the 90's and early 2000's on the road (in particular the '01 Camry), it'll be at least 20-30 years and anyone with a new car being limited is just going to be harassed for driving way too slow relative to traffic.
The GP comment was low-information, high-inflammation—that means flamebait, regardless of how correct it is or is not. I wouldn't say it even contains enough information to count as correct or incorrect, but YMMV.

A point being correct doesn't mean it isn't flamebait. Which correct points one makes, in which order, in what context, and with what extra baggage, all matter. People (especially internet trolls) often act like "but it's correct" or "I'm just pointing out facts" is some sort of blank check—this is far from the case.

Sometimes the correctness of a point makes it even worse. An example I've used in the past is middle school kids pointing out the acne on another kid's face. An example pg has used is telling an old person "you will die soon".
Back in the day, all Singaporean taxis used to be fitted (by law) with warning systems that went "ding, ding, ding" continuously if the car ever exceeded Singapore's top speed limit of 90 km/h. But even nanny state Singapore gave up on this, because it was just too annoying and pointless.

The one thing speed limiters would be good for is preventing extreme speeding, like this drunk dickhead who drove at 148 km/h on a small street with a limit of 50 km/h and killed 5 people including himself:

Then again, the BMW in question had also been extensively and mostly illegally modded, so any sort of limiting system would almost certainly have been disabled in the process.

I agree, here's their original patent:

https://patents.google.com/patent/US1908081A/en

The designers own statements of requiring "zero vertical angle" to avoid cam-out/throw-out is proof Phillips was designed with it to begin with.

The patent change later only added _more_ cam-out/throw-out, it did not introduce it in 1942.

Also, the 1942 patent represents the modern Phillips (which is what everyone would acknowledge is the problem screw), where the original 1932 patent looks more like a Reed and Prince.
I've been worried about something like this ever since maps first started showing the speed limit on the road I was on. It feels like an inevitability.

For whatever reason this feels like an especially significant step on the path towards increasingly excessive control over individuals and it makes me very sad that it's finally happening.

Ask HN: Create your workflow across apps with drag and drop. what do you think?
I know there have already been many great tools like Zapier and IFTTT for predictable and repetitive workflows. But for many other workflows, the result and call-to-action require human intellect to engage with, for example: for PM or customer service, they have to collect customers' feedback and bug reports (say from discord) to development plan (say kanban in Notion).

Weird game, but I do have fond memories of GTA :). Rusty ones, apparently.
And even once this is over, I think it's pretty often the speed limits and not the people driving over them that are in the wrong. I don't think slowing everyone down is a useful goal unless we adjust the limits up first.
Is the text gently floating around a bit on the page for anyone else? I just noticed after a few rounds and it's really unsettling.
Ok, but legally you aren't allowed to do that.

Also why is it safer?

To me a predictable speed would be safer.
This is not a bad idea - but speed limits have not changed to reflect changing cars.

Speed limits are stuck at 100km in Australia and have been for decades - despite cars introducing anti-lock breaking, predictive breaking, anti-rollover technology, lane assist and so on.

Cars are now much much safer, and yet speed limits outside of cities have not changed to reflect this. If the government wants to introduce speed limiters on all cars, they also need to re-examine speed limits - especially outside of urban areas.
Even on systems like Gentoo which build everything the make test option isn't default.
That's already happening with insurance. Some insurers are offering "safe driving discounts" if you install their app, which tracks your speed. If you exceed a speed limit, you lose the discount for that month. It's your problem to remember to disable it if someone else is driving.
GPS is not a tracking technology. It's read-only. It allows you to determine your coordinates by listening to satellites. GPS receivers don't send your location.
