> you shouldn't defend them.

This is why we can't have a good faith discussion, because you think I'm defending dark patterns. I'm not. I'm simply asking how the designer determines what is a dark pattern that unilaterally has bad ethical ramifications.

> 3 modal boxes to cancel is absolutely harmful when it can be done in 1 and that 1 modal can even include all the reasons you shouldn't cancel. But you get one shot to keep a customer, not three tries to keep and frustrate them.

I would argue even 1 modal is too much. Why can't I just click the "CANCEL MY ACCOUNT" button? Isn't a modal that says "TYPE YOUR ORGANIZATION NAME TO CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION" in hostile to the user? How do you ensure people don't accidentally cancel and then want to reactive with all of their old data? and...and..etc.

Do you see why the interpretation of "this is a dark pattern" is almost entirely up to the user perception and has varying degrees of difficulty to the parse as the designer?
Deep inelastic scattering of the nucleus did not find quarks. It only found nucleons.

The same thing here: it's not known if quarks have an internal structure. And unless your energy is higher than the size of the object being measured you certainly can't tell if it's point like.

> project maintainers and project contributors don't agree. News at 11

This is just open source. "kernel maintainers hated working with the pulseaudio team" is not news any more than "Theo de Raadt/Ulrich Drepper dislike some ideas of others". It is part and parcel of open source development. It doesn't need 'whitewashing'. This is how quality software is built.

Conversely, even referencing that the LKML was full of angry messages (again, LKML having drama is like the sky being blue) about pulse (or kdbus from the systemd team, which is also a thing) is just evidence that Redhat did and does work with upstream rather than having some walled garden which they jealously guard from the rest of the community.
"Speeding was a factor in 29% of all traffic fatalities in 2020, killing 11,258, or an average of over 30 people per day."

Im not saying beeping will stop all of this but I think its a large low hanging fruit in terms of road safety. You will strongly disagree with this but mandatory breathalyzers are another.

I would love if these rules were not necessary but drivers (in the US at least) have proven that they are not responsible in aggregate.

I dont think anyone disagrees with speed limits, I dont understand the moral panic that comes from taking it a step further and building it into the car.

Youre right about needing to speed sometimes though, maybe they need to add a 15% buffer or some kind of "10/10 data points in the last 5 mins required" condition.

Congratulations for the release! You are doing an impressive work with bun. I find particulary exciting the built-in sqlite, and I cannot wait to move all my projects to bun. Egoistically speaking (my 2012 mbp doesn't support AVX2 instructions), I hope that now that the project is public, since you are going to get a lot of issue reports about the failure on install, you will find some time to get back to issue#67. Thank you, and keep up the excellent work.
I agree - it's a part of UK government I'm pretty pleased with. It often feels like their involvement shakes out poor legacy processes too (thinking back 15 years to picking up mildly Kafka-esque forms at the Post Office for really common, regular mundane tasks!)

Just this evening i benefited from an NHS site that looks like it's had their help/guidance and the process was excellent.
Poorer people are always worse off, that's true, but we're talking about global climate change and its effects can devastate anyone on the planet.

The climate is a complex system into which more and more energy is being input. That's more likely to produce sudden, drastic and unpredictable changes. It's not just simply going to get hotter.

So it's entirely possible that huge swathes of the US become largely uninhabitable, due to, say, drastic increases in rain or violent weather. It's entirely possible that most current agriculture could become impractical in the US.

The politics of climate change has very likely made scientists too conservative in their predictions as to not seem hysterical, but looking at how quickly the climate is changing right now, extreme outcomes seem very likely.
I hope this does not lead to corruption among EU policy makers. When regulators start adding regulations in a sector, big corps in that sector start spending more money for lobbing; hence more corruption among policy makers.

If you define "rich and developed" as NATO+Japan then that's more than a billion people. Forcing that many people to reduce CO2 emissions to third world standards wouldn't require a "yank of the steering wheel", it would need nuclear war.
Tell HN: Fake restaurant online order form bank phishing attempt
I nearly fell victim to a very sophisticated phishing attempt while traveling in Montreal. While trying to order from an Indian restaurant named [Redacted], I found a website with a very slick online ordering form. After entering my dinner choices, credit card info, phone number, and email, I was shown a dialog that indicated the last step I would need to follow for my order to go through would be to enter an SMS verification code.

Nothing up to this point seemed in the least bit phishy; in fact, the website was so professionally designed (including English and French language options, and pictures of the food) that it made me even more confident about the upcoming meal.

The code arrived with a ding on my phone, but when I went to enter it I noticed that it was actually a Bank of America 2 factor authentication code. If I had entered it I’m almost certain my banking credentials would have been compromised. And to top it off, I bet that I’d still need to order dinner.
One time pads fall into the symmetrical encryption category. There is no huge issue with symmetrical encryption with respect to the possibility someone might invent a quantum computer. The things people are working on for a post quantum world and NIST is attempting to standardize are in the asymmetrical encryption category.
> it has the edge in mind

This part, very early on in the Bun page, stood out. That’s a monetizable product, even if the code is open source. That to me felt like positioning itself as a potential drop in replacement for Deno Deploy / Edge Functions.

There was serverless, and now the next trend is with edge computing. It’s already happening, but now specifically about runtimes on that edge.
I was able to connect from France, it's for people living in the US, look like you can search for people and there'd be aggregated information scrapped from god knows where. I checked a few (not really famous) people I knew of and it seems they have some accurate information.
Does that matter? Both are based on some hidden subgroup problem and both are breakable in a similar way.
> ISA detects speed limits on roads through devices such as cameras and satnavs.

My car will regularly detect speed signs that are adjacent to the highway, including those next to interchanges and exists. On many other occasion the camera detects signs from parallel roads and railroads, where the sign sits simply on the other side of a chain fence.

Naturally as a human driver I know that 170km/h doesn't exist on roads, or that a 30km/h isn't a legal speed for highway (except if there is road maintenance or accidents, which has their own contextual clues), but the computer don't know that. Trying to make computers understand context is the running theme of most failures in self driving cars.

The only way I could see a speed limiter like this would work is if there were a central control system with local knowledge of the road and those on the road, similar to how a subway control, airport control or rail way control works. cameras and satnavs is only good as an advising tool for an human operative.

$69 Stereoscopic RGB passthrough camera for the Oculus Quest
Automatic triggering seems like a recipe for disaster. My car has a version of this that shows the current speed limit on the display. It is frequently wrong. A road near me shows up as 20mph despite being 30 or 40 in different parts. Other times it sees signs for access roads or side roads and misinterpret them as for the current road (sometimes saying 20mph in a 60mph zone).

It's a nice idea, but the tech really isn't there yet. I guess a few high profile incidents and they'll be forced to fix it.

NIST wouldn't get away with choosing an algorithm that has been shown to have vulnerabilities, which is the only thing it could do is come up with an algorithm with a subtle unnoticed flaw. And that algorithm has to have performance at least as good as the other algorithms in the contest.

But if it can come up with a competitive algorithm with a subtle unnoticed flaw, than that attack would work almost as well in a contest hosted by some other organization. They wouldn't be able to guarantee the win, but they would still have a good shot at it.
Quite a few are commenting from their own perspective, as a consumer/user of an Apple device, and whether you're happy with it or not.

That's not really the point. The emphasis of this legislation first and foremost is on developers. Whom need/deserve a level playing field, instead of having the odds stacked up against them.

A return to more open computing should be celebrated, even if it remains to be seen what will happen.

And even if you're a die hard fan of closed computing, nothing bad will happen. You'll simply pick Safari, never sideload an app, and pay with Apple Pay. We can coexist.
Bun parser is a translation in Zig of ESbuild's parser. ESbuild parser is already well tuned. Bun takes zig advantages to go further.
The 7800's technical advantages are subtle in that relative to the rest of its generation, it can do lots of sprites smoothly and with varied color, but the output quality is relatively low res. It doesn't screenshot as well in a tiny magazine thumbnail, which is going to bias expectations towards "worse graphics".

I do think that had it not had a terrible launch, used better controllers, and invested more in software dev and on-cart tech(there were scrapped plans for better audio chips) it could have gotten a serious market share.

But the whole story of Atari is that it succeeded marvelously as a startup and then subsequently floundered as a large enterprise, and this is just one more example.

Daily self-reminder to never post jokes on HN.
Your comment comes off as demagogic, and certainly uncharitable and disrespectful. "[reality] doesn't care about your feelings." and "denying reality" are typical expressions that both sides of the divide use to shut-down dialog and to paint their opinion as morally superior and based on truth, as if there is such a thing.

If you want to fight against demagogues, you should engage with people, recognize that issues are nuanced and that most people are not the caricatures that you'd paint them as.

Finally, telling people they're being whiny after a 2 year long pandemic that saw many people lose their loved ones, be unable to even see their bodies, the near collapse of our national health systems (that was not caused solely by the strain of Covid but specifically by the preventative measures put into place) and the great suffering that resulted from it is very insensitive and uncaring. I doubt my great-grandmother would have said anything of the sort were she still alive, and I know for a fact if you asked many elderly people how they've lived these past few years (those who survived) they would not be so dismissive of the complaints of others.
> enough of them can mean you have a temp ban from driving

And it's not a lot. Being caught a bit over 3 times will lose you a licence, or 2 if you're a new driver. Sometimes you can get an awareness course and get a "pass" on the first time but I think only once every few years. Exceed the limit by too much and you don't get that option and you also get more points. You also will find insurance punishingly expensive for years afterwards.

Apparently the Nintendo Switch was never sold at a loss.

Does it really matter though? They shouldn't be allowed to abuse consumers for the sake of their business model. If it were true that they were selling consoles for an expected loss, that would act as a barrier to new competitors entering the market.

Should companies like John Deere be able to prevent third-parties from doing maintenance on farm equipment because John Deere's business model relies on that revenue stream?
When I rotated through surgical oncology as a 3rd year medical student, a lot of the cases were robotic.

For a 5 hour surgery, the fellow got to drive the robot for about 90 minutes. He spent the rest of the time watching.

The resident made incisions to introduce the robotic instruments and then closed at the end. This took about 15 minutes at the start of the case and and another 15 at the end. She spent the rest of the time standing there and watching.

I wasn't even allowed to scrub in - not enough space with the robot docked. I had to stand in the corner of the room for 5 hours watching the surgery on a monitor. And of course the circulating RN wouldn't let me stand in a place with a decent view.

I would have had a better learning experience watching a YouTube video of a surgery. What a colossal waste of time for all trainees involved.

> Things which talk to the systemd dbus endpoints to add/stop/create/manipulate units are systemd-blahblah. This isn't that confusing.

It is because systemd confuses what should be split concepts into one big overarching thing.

'org.freedesktop.systemd1' (the actual systemd init D-Bus interface) somehow is still implied that it is vital to the entire systemd-something ecosystem while it's not really.

A example being systemd-hostnamed and hostnamectl complaining that 'System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate.' [1] while in fact they use 'org.freedesktop.hostname1.${something}' [2] and that is supposed to not be bolted with the entire rest of systemd besides using sd_bus.

People choose iPhone because it works better and is reliable for longer. It works better and is reliable for longer because the APIs are better and more stable, the browser is relentlessly optimized for performance and energy consumption, and because Apple can limit bad behavior through App Store restrictions.

Apple adheres to such to such a level of quality that I am super pumped for their inevitable foray into the VR/AR space. Meta products don’t feel like they have the “Apple polish”.

But, Meta has captured the meta part of the metaverse well, aka communication. I don’t see Apple fully being able to compete at the metaverse level, but if I were Meta I’d be worried about their competing at the hardware level, where they’ll probably become a dominant force.

Then again, Apple has expertise in delivering high quality OS experiences across a wide range of devices and iMessage is heavily used. Maybe it isn’t so far fetched to think that Apple can encroach on something as increasingly commoditized as a social network.
That's not relevant to this discussion, because the choice is (a) recreate everything yourself from scratch vs (b) pay monopolistic rates because there are no alternatives.

But on that note, a common refrain of iOS developers is what a PITA it is to make apps for iOS given the inferior quality of Apple devtools. Meanwhile, developers generally praise the ease of programming for the PS5.
