Incorrect. Apps have private storage and shared storage, separate from fill disk access.

On a related note, I don't understand why apps are permitted to require you to enable certain permissions or refuse to run. What is the point of giving users control of their privacy if large popular apps are a able to essentially opt out of the optional part. I'm looking at you Kakao.

Do you prefer your manager to be technical or non technical?
I must say, working for a non technical manager is exhausting. Having to constantly explain basic things gets tiring very quickly.

I don't understand how a non technical person can "lead" a technical team. How can they even help the team because they don't even understand basic concepts. How are these people getting these technical jobs is beyond me. I keep running into these "engineering managers" who know nothing about engineering and I'm sick and tired of it. I just want a technical manager who is on the same level as the technical people on the team or at least understands what the engineers are talking about during meetings.
I worked in a large tech Co that used AEM for building web pages. I think one landing page took months, at least not less than one. If a content team can launch some simpler pages using this on their own, we would have definitely bought and used this.

Er, "best case" you end up creating a better version of the thing. We are on HN where you always see "Rewrite from scratch in rust, go,..." or "Version 3.0 drops backward compatibility and greatly improves ....".

After multiple decades large agencies probably need big reforms. If you can implement these within the agency, great. If not, splitting off some of the work to a new agency with these changes is a practical option.

A more general purpose stack is UDP-based applications.

It is very likely that GAE will last a lot more than the Kubernetes cowboy you hired to set up the undocumented and untested version of it in house.
Just tried it at home and loads fine from broadband too. That "Sito sotto sequestro" literally means "site has been seized", which of course isn't the case here; that page might indicate that the carrier has been forced to resolve that domain elsewhere, therefore all it needs is using an external name server to get around the block.
I'm currently using one of Cloudflare DNS addresses and it loads just fine.

Is there any other VC who gets specifically mentioned as an investor any time one of the companies they invest in does something?
Always nice to see a newcomer tilting at the b2b status quo. How big is the b2b GIS market and what’s the sort of volume and median deal size? I’m completely guessing here but the big players must be:

Government? No thanks! Disrupting government contracts must be the last thing on the list of things to conquer. You’ll win the prize eventually but they are the end game big boss that you get just after you get your SOC2 etc.

Mining? Landing a big mining or mineral extraction contract seems like it could be a huge deal. There’s a lot of money in that industry (eg mining, ahem, oil) so I suspect they have their own in house cartogeniuses. Selling mapping software to mining corporations would be a bit like selling docker consulting to Google, I’m guessing.

Agriculture? Small to medium ag would be a nice market to go after. Maybe even target one of the other ag b2bs rather than selling to ag directly. Exit via John Deere acquihire!

Ecology? Academia? If Elsevier are anything to go by then there’s a fair bit of cash there to be spent on institutional software. Maybe you can do a deal with a whole University to provide felt licenses to all staff and students?

On that last point, remember how Facebook started out by targeting college kids? Is there a business pattern for pushing gratis software tools to undergrads so that they then preach them to their new bosses as new hires once they graduate? It sounds so obvious but are there good examples of it other than school kids learning MS Office? “Hey I loved using Felt for my undergrad dissertation — let’s use it here, at my new mining job?!”

Good luck, Felt!
I've found that genuinely caring about one's craft—beyond a baseline observance of best practices—requires, for lack of a better word, psychological space. Constant deadlines and distractions, workplace toxicity, and a pervasive focus on just getting stuff done on time are all environmental factors that make it difficult for me to genuinely think in terms of crafting rather than cramming. It's not that I'm indifferent or resentful, I'm just not being provided the space to really focus on what I do beyond doing it as fast as possible.

To answer your question: I don't have the wherewithal to care at the moment, but I wish I did.
> Often, the person running point on your interviews isn't a programmer in their day-to-day activities. At a tech company they likely have some technical background, but if someone has been a manager for 5 years and isn't coding day-to-day then what do you actually expect to get out of giving them a coding exercise?

We always let a manager and a developer do the interview, and for good reasons because they both have a unique perspective on whether someone fits in the team.
It means that a program has been verified against a model, and properties of that model are held true.

What it does not mean is that the program is bug free. That would, of course, violate the halting problem, or its generalization Rice's Theorem - non-trivial programs can not have arbitrary properties proven about them.

There's also Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem, obviously, as well as the fact that a proof is only as good as its model.
It looks like Felt uses Mapbox under the hood. Which might also require attribution.

So if a journalist makes a screenshot of a website that uses Felt, they would have to have a text like ...

"Image courtesy of SomeSite with an image courtesy of Felt with an image courtesy of Mapbox with an image courtesy of OpenStreetMap?"

.... under the image?
That's too reductionist. If they stay, they might still be doing a great job. If they leave, the expected replacement may not be up to par, and their defiance would in all likelihood be completely useless, which means leaving may be a net loss for society, not to mention an eventual, actually meaningful resistance would likely benefit from them being inside the universities.

This defiance looks sad unfortunately, no offense meant to the author here as I respect his attitude. He mentions blogging being in his plans for the future, but even here in HN this post already looks like it's shadow banned and the blogpost has one like. Not all defiance is made equal, this author has a huge uphill battle and I wish him the best.

Hey, I felt exactly the same way about ICE vs EV. I have a V8 that I tinker with on weekends. I have 4 other ICE vehicles.

The kicker for me was borrowing a friend’s EV for the day. The driving experience was so completely different to my cars it was mind-boggling. The only other time I’ve felt the same way was picking up the first iPhone.

We bought an EV a couple years after that (6 months ago, now) the first couple of weeks we struggled with range anxiety and suffered from inconvenience. Now we’re completely in love and wouldn’t ever buy another ICE. (Except maybe another old Saab…)

This is similar to either the Microsoft Store or Apple App Store (can't recall). You used to be able to see what in-app purchases were available, to determine if you weren't ripped off downloading this app. Now you can't.

Over- and underestimating: Overestimating the effects of exercising, while underestimating the amount of kcal people eat and drink, especially alcohol.

Also the amount of muscle people build. Human beings are extremely energy efficient. And excess muscles only drain human bodies from energy. Does not make sense.

My pro tip: count your kcal for one month. Everything that goes into your mouth - except water - needs to be tracked and especially weighted. You gonna be surprised. Everything, no exception.

I count kcals and exercising for years now. My simple best advise: eating is 80-90% of the deal. Disciplined eating beats sports every time. More sports leads to more energy demand. And many overweight people cannot do sports.

I give you another example. If I manage to get a negative kcal of more than 500kcal a day, this is very tough to take. Your body revolts. It takes a lot of discipline to go with -500kcal for a couple of days in a row.

Another tip: go plant based. Added sugar etc. does not help.
Insurance isn’t universal yet, but I do think it’s already causing price distortions in the veterinary market. I have used pet insurance for about a decade, and I have (anecdotally) seen both insurance become much more common and prices increase significantly. I think those phenomena are likely linked. My dog had several obscure, severe medical issues throughout his life, and while I loved him dearly and would have treated the issues regardless of cost, the insurance made it much easier to say “yes” to more complex or repeated treatments without doing any financial analysis.

Yeah I guess it's the same as with the inter satellite communication which is promised for later, but not implemented yet so that they get at least some product out to customers. I don't think dual stack is that hard to do for entirely new networks though.

Also, one of the reasons to do satellite internet is lower latency which is a bit hurt by CGNAT infrastructure.

Last, generally brand new ISPs are in the situation that they have a hard time of getting ipv4 address space. The incumbents, especially the older ones, were around when ipv4 addesses were still plenty so they usually have way less problems with ipv4 address space. Starlink only has 166k ipv4 addresses according to https://ipinfo.io/AS14593 . Compare this to AT&T which has over a hundred million for their AS 7018 https://ipinfo.io/AS7018 alone, and there are other AS numbers they have like AS20057 with 7 million ipv4s. This roughly matches the number of AT&T customers while Starlink has more than double the number of subscribers than its number of public IPs, with growth ahead.

This doesn't sit well with me. Parrots can repeat sounds. AI models can compose phrases into coherent output. Very different. One is just funny and the other can be really useful.

I think the Stochastic Parrots name is an attempt to disparage and limit LMs by a group of people who only see them as discrimination amplifiers.

Isn't the winning move not playing, then? I've never seen the appeal. If I lose, I feel the loss of money; but if I win, that's not enjoyable in the same way losing that equivalent would be displeasing.

Ask HN: What comes after the Turing Test?
After the widespread claims about LaMDA having achieved sentience, I was wondering what kind of test could validate such claims. For example, a test could incorporate additional sensory modalities or focus on specific aspects of intelligence (such as logical reasoning, mathematical ability, or linguistic skills). Are there any approaches to that?
I've only touched OpenGL very briefly, but isn't this mostly explained by the fact that CUDA is for general purpose computing and not hardware rendering? If you're mostly dealing with vertex/texture buffers, then presumably you'll need to dress up CUDA with a bit of custom boilerplate, at which point it starts looking like the OpenGL approach anyway.
The User Experience of TiDB – Global Kill
> Some users would never even install apps that asked for too many static permissions on the Play page.

This, so much!

Like 90% of the apps on Play ask for an insanely excessive amount of permissions.

It was the #1 indicator for sorting out garbage apps.

Example: Some time ago I needed a kitchen timer app (stock one had some issue). The great majority of them wanted permissions like contacts, access to my files, GPS location, and on top of it internet to upload all of this probably. Even though a kitchen timer shouldn't require any private data at all!

Now think about this:

Even if you're asked by Android before it actually gets the permissions, why would you WANT to run code from someone who does such shady stuff as having a kitchen timer require access to private data? Won't those people probably take any opportunity they can get to do shady stuff with things for which Android doesn't require permissions yet? And even if they don't - isn't it likely that their app just doesn't work properly and has a lot of bugs because they don't care about the user at all?

And this isn't just such utility apps. It's basically ALL apps which are flooded with this garbage.

What Google did here to me personally is the last nail in Android's coffin. I cannot acquire software anymore like this.
Allow you to open the app still and go through the menus, maybe you just want to export your data? Maybe you want to check the T&C again (which should be available offline from the menu)? Perhaps you wanted to see the design/ergonomics of the app before allowing it? It could be a thousand reasons. Photo app can display "No camera permission granted, click here to setup" instead of the visor or something, and the browser can also inform the user of the situation with a static page.

It's like proper exception handling: Do not just close the app, fall back gracefully and allow the user to retry.

When multiplied over billions of clock cycles it makes a tremendous amount of difference.

There's a reason why PCB board specs say that all DRAM traces need to be the same length - the length of the trace, and it's capacitance are the main speed limiter for any signal. This is true whether the trace is 20 mm long or 2.

"the critical point to DDR circuitry is in the timing. This means that the clock lines will determine the timing of the input and output of the memory chip data lines. Electrical signals can not be sped up, so the only way to control the timing is to add length to the traces in order to delay the arrival of the clock signal. This is accomplished by adding serpentine routing to the trace routing."

Does anyone know of a workaround for this that doesn't require you to install/update the app in question first?
I’m not surprised by that.

Being in the veterinary care with my small pet (which I learned have very short all-good to all-dead journey) I noticed that vet clinic is a very depressing place.

Sure, animals are cute, but a lot of them are dying or seriously ill and even being in the waiting room where loving owners rush-in scared or wait restlessly worried about their pets’ lives is a dark experience.

Seeing how vets are handling animals I’d say it takes a very specific mindset and resolution to do the job. I can imagine that even the hardest of such resolutions can crack under the weight of owners breaking down over their pets misery.

I believe that everyone should have access to periodic mental health evaluation, support and professional supervision. For people working in such hard to digest professions it is a necessity.
That makes no sense. The point is that those countries spend way less money for better outcomes and your "rebutal" is that they have more money to spend? And pharmaceutical companies just charge less in these countries because of the kindness on their hearts? Eventhough they supposedly could charge much more than the US because Europeans have money left over?
I could respond with a long and well-argued comment but this is HN so it would get downvoted to oblivion no matter the content as it is positive towards crypto. Few on this website argue in good faith on this subject and trying to convince someone to change their mind is useless.

The announcement is that they're going to begin the transition in 2024, with completion sometime in 2040. Twenty years seems like ample time to do this kind of transition.

From my brief time working for a logistics company, the rough "replacement" rule was 15 years or 2m miles to look at replacement, though this rule was not hard and fast and older trucks were running. Practically this means a lot of these kinds of trucks will be simply replaced on their schedule with newer electric models.

Whether California's power grid can handle it is an incredibly valid question, since the state seems to do rolling blackouts/brownouts every time there's a fire or an exceptionally hot day.

The main reasons to have that power certainly are not gaming and VR. A computer is a tool for work as well as leisure.
