Yup. I am definitely wouldnt call myself an audiophile, but I like my over ear headphones. I switch them easily between my desktop, my laptop, and my cell phone. They never die. Then I take my phone to my ten year old car and plug an aux cable in (it has Bluetooth but it is garbage - slow to connect, bad quality for music (regular skipping etc). Then when I travel to family's houses and want to play something over their stereo with an aux input, I can easily.

I like aux because it's easy. It just works.
Thanks for the insight comrade.
This is a confusing title because “App Sandbox” is the name of the (somewhat different) sandboxing and container mechanism used by, well, apps.
I don't fully disagree, but I do disagree that I want all decisions done in a long format. Especially when I'm specifically trying to get my team to be way more agile and willing to make decisions while they are working.

Throwing up a quick discussion point on a slack room while you are acting on the idea is perfectly fine. Just as it could be perfectly fine to toss the code if the idea doesn't pan out.
In Slovakia, there was a sweepstakes of sorts (required some skills) where the main prize was a car. Which in fact turned out to be a loan of the said car for three months.

On the other hand, my first laptop ever was a sweepstakes win in 2007. It wasn't a very good laptop, but it was an honest win.
A while ago, there was a thread in reddits /r/India, asking the users - what's one thing about India that you are truly proud of. The top answer wasn't a monument, a person or anything else. It was UPI.

Everyone in India who has been abroad knows that UPI is leagues beyond what we see in other countries. Everyone seems to love it. Specially in tier 1 cities like Hyderabad, UPI is the primary mode of payment.

So i am happy to see that the one Indian software system which is genuinely good is being made international

Ah. Reading it again, I can see what you mean. Unfortunately I encounter a lot of people here who would write that comment in all seriousness, so if it was sarcastic I hadn’t noticed. I think I’m still not sure about that.
The App Gap and supply chains: Purism CEO on what's ahead for the Librem 5 USA
As Sam Harris puts it: Meditation is the ability to not be lost in and identified with your thoughts, and to recognize when you are.

The scam is actually every second when one is not meditating. Most people most of the time live in an illusory dream world, lost in their thoughts, pushed around by those thoughts (often called “the ego”), and suffering due to them. Meditation means practicing to wake up from that illusory dream world, over and over again. And it can be done in every situation. The formal sitting down meditation is simply a process to develop, maintain and strengthen the habit.

It’s a great practice, which can both improve each moment (by realizing that each moment is actually as good as the next one, if one is simply aware instead of lost in thoughts) as well as build incremental long term resiliency against life’s adversities.

Curiosity question: has anyone done any work on reverse-engineering the Sony Mega Bass feature they used to have on old analog players (and ported to some early MP3 ones)? It sounded so much deeper than any phone/sound card would give. I'm wondering if it's some purely analog schenanigans (some tricky extra capacitors?) or if it can be replicated in pure software.
Sometimes to click buttons you need to 2FA log in. It's easier to push empty commits than to do that.
I saw the graph. Bits-per-byte is not clear for me (for example lower loss does not always mean better accuracy when you train a classifier). What I needed is to know if the generated text has the same "literary" qualities, and also if it can compete in few shot mode on as many tasks as GPT-3 can do.

In other words, can we rely on it instead of GPT-3 in realistic scenarios or is it good only for low BpB?

Uber was designed to be incredibly overcomplex and scaled from the beginning; you can read people’s accounts of the fancy technology they invented to scale other employees’ stuffing code in nonstop. Of course, those other employees had no reason to write that code, and were just doing it because Uber had a lot of money and decided to hire a lot of people to do random busywork.

If “it could be done in a weekend with less people” is true for anyone it’s true for Uber. They should be replacing systems with ones that may scale worse but are cheaper. Scaling=complexity comes from companies like Google/Meta where the engineers practice promotion-based development.
A quiet note of appreciation for Adam Grossman, one of the co-founders of Dark Sky. It's one thing to have an idea about a weather app, quite another to pursue it successfully within a small design agency and then make it polished enough over the years to sell it to a giant corporation like Apple. Even during that acquisition, Grossman went to bat for DarkSky's users, making sure that the API was kept live (for 2+ years running now). Post-acquisition, he has evidently become comfortable enough in a corporate environment to help evangelize the API's transition to an Apple-native SDK and Swift API. The creation of the REST API with a full mapping guide means that Grossman continues to bat for DarkSky API developers. The use of the native Swift API to create brand new Apple weather apps also appears to be well done. All-in-all, it has been a remarkable journey from a small, independent agency to a large corporate while keeping core values alive, a journey where many others have flamed out. An inspiration to all. Hats off to you, Grossman!

That model is odd.

Anyway, change only the assumption that hydrogen storage is free underground and watch its usage plummet into less than half. Change the country to India (that we are talking about) and see it go near zero.

Anyway, it's comparing free underground hydrogen with encapsulated portable batteries. I expect none of those to be very useful on practice.
America has the highest incarceration rate in the world except Seychelles.

Furthermore, the US is generally unconcerned with rehabilitation, prisoner welfare, and is most concerned with locking up as many people as possible in for-profit prisons and throwing away the key.

There is no consideration of "Hey, this person in prison should be genuinely rehabilitated because they may become my neighbor after they're released."

America doesn't care about people who enter the criminal justice system, homelessness, mental healthcare, universal healthcare, or livable wages. In reality, Americans, imprisoned or not, who aren't rich (95% or so) don't know how bad they have it compared to the rest of the world.

>I'd argue that saving absolutely everything likely isn't useful, at least for specified domains

I strongly agree, but spinning disk space is very cheap, and you never know what you're going to want later... so at least a full month of time there before auto-purge seems quite doable for everything 8)

I'd build a system such that if you refer to a given file/page in that timeframe, then the reference count goes up, and it gets moved to permanent storage. 8)

But I've said this elsewhere. Yes, we can criticize what they are doing even if we are not paying them. We can't sue them, we can't take way their money, and that is 100% fair, of course we shouldn't be able to do that.

But yes, I can absolutely say "Y'all are wasting a ton of time with this Wayland way y'all are doing things, you should go fix X instead."

That can't be true, Google Books was 15 years prior to the advent of large language models. Until 2020 nobody could train on such a large collection.

I think Google initially wanted to augment the web results with a large book collection to get "all the world information and make it searchable", same with Google News.
> The NW-A55 is part of Sony’s budget digital audio player lineup. ... It worked out about AU $300 including shipping, not bad considering how expensive iPods and cassette Walkmans used to be.

We must have very different definitions of "budget" because 200 EUR for MP3 player is nowhere close to budget line in times when you can buy decent budget phones for that money or how much I spent for great cassette Panasonic walkman. He is also comparing prices of technology at peak with price of technology pretty much nobody buys anymore and they should be giving pretty much for free.

Btw 16GB model having 12.26GB available capacity I'd expect from some Android phone and not dumb MP3 player.

Yes, the ultimate power imbalance is still a big one. Having grown up in a Christian house that subscribed to this model, and having seen how that tends to play out, I’m no fan of it either. I’ve also seen churches divided over the issue of women in leadership roles, which is…I don’t even know how to begin to describe how bizarre that is to witness. In my later life I’ve become a Christian again but the inevitability of running into this line of thinking, as well as the homophobic “clobber verses” makes it very uncomfortable. So much of even the New Testament seems contradictory to the way Christ lived and taught, and that’s leaving aside the ugly influence of American conservatism on the Church.

God created us in His own image, and we decided to return the favor.
I think some of the actual value of delivery apps has been that they have low start-up costs for restaurants. They aggregate demand for that channel and some of the genius here is that it's pretty simple putting a restaurant's menu online.

It seems clear to me that there is plenty of demand to justify the service. Doordash's revenue was about $5B last year (I believe that's revenue and not GTV, which is probably 5x that). Doordash also only has about 50% of the market. Even if you believe that some of that demand is illusory, brought about by subsidized prices, that still seems like there's a pretty straightforward business there if you can charge a sort of "ordinary business profit."

And, again, there's been delivery food businesses since time immemorial, it would be weird if we thought that there was no kind of business here. Pizza companies used to be more or less the only ones because pizza delivered so well that pizza restaurants could absorb the fixed cost of entire delivery employees, but a food delivery app lets you pay for just part of a delivery-person.

It seems pretty straightforwardly the case to me that the problem in food delivery apps has never been that the fundamental business makes sense, the problem has been that from the very beginning there have been a large number of companies ferociously competing in the space, with nothing to differentiate them, which has squeezed margins to nothing.
To make it as hard as possible... a great incentive for any future hacker!
A pretty “similar” article (in spirit?) I wrote a few years back: https://jmmv.dev/2019/11/macos-sandbox-exec.html
The amount of negative comments here is simply daunting. The issue will be resolved. The fact that thousands and thousands of Americans die each year and nothing is being done to it and this company is on a mission to actually do so to prevent humans from dying should be championed and encouraged.

Oh and by the way there's real time traffic on Google maps. So most people usually drive with it either on their smartphones or their main – GPS navigation. So you could probably know that there's a slowdown ahead before you take your route.

Sure. It may suck that you have to use real time navigation to go anywhere, but that's the reality when driving in a congested city or route.
It does sound like standards or the dating process may be an issue. 120 dates in two years seems like a huge number to me. But I’ve been out of the dating scene for many years.

I think the main things you need to look for are:

1. Someone you enjoy being around, most of the time, and who enjoys being around you.

2. Someone who shares your general life goals or is motivated to move towards them.

3. Someone who is honest with you and with whom you share a mutual respect.

4. Someone you are physically attracted to.

It seems tough to filter for these things other than #1 and #4 on a single date.

And #2 is malleable. I always said the world has too many people and I never wanted kids. Then I met a girl I liked and overheard a conversation where she told someone that she absolutely wanted kids. So I said “I guess I’m changing that plan” and decided to have kids. We wound up married with 4 kids, and it’s awesome.

I think most other things that people focus on (shared interests, liking the same music, similar background, whatever) are a bit overrated. I would describe them as nice-to-have but not deal breakers. If you can find the four things above early in the relationship and avoid red flags (any sign of abusiveness, mental issues, etc.) you are in pretty decent shape IMO.
I concur. I often work as a radiologist in the ED setting, while this is anecdotal I can’t imagine that anyone with history of recent hernia repair, purulent discharge, and chills would not get a CT scan at an academic centre in the US (OP stated residents were present.

I can only speak to the centre I’ve worked/rotated at but this seems inconceivable based on the requisitions I get in my career. We do a lot more for a lot less.

The only point I would disagree on is that “time left untreated” can increase complication rate. If this a partially strangulated hernia and there was a microperforation (quite common and often missed) or bacterial translocation in the hernia sac mesh would almost certainly get infected. Even if not strangulated/perforated at time of surgery, if there are dense adhesions from recurrent/intermittent obstructions that may also increase operative complexity and a lysis of adhesions may contaminate the field. That said you could also just not use mesh.
You're robbing yourself of understanding other people if you just paper over everyone's issues with email as being some sort of fear that prevents them from seeing the obvious superiority of email.

It's a red flag when you're attributing a negative quality to people as the reason why they use or even prefer something. The cure is simple: talk to people and ask them.
I mean, this is a direct quote of what Sargon said:

“I just can’t be bothered with people who chose to treat me like this. It’s really annoying. Like, I — . You’re acting like a bunch of n***s, just so you know. You act like white n***s. Exactly how you describe black people acting is the impression I get dealing with the Alt Right. I’m really, I’m just not in the mood to deal with this kind of disrespect.”

“Look, you carry on, but don’t expect me to then have a debate with one of your f*gots.…Like why would I bother?…Maybe you’re just acting like a n**r, mate? Have you considered that? Do you think white people act like this? White people are meant to be polite and respectful to one another, and you guys can’t even act like white people, it’s really amazing to me.”

You're being pretty disingenuous with your recollection of events.
Ghost is very generally focused on content creation with emphasis on memberships. They don’t specialize in any specific kind of content creation, but you can’t expect a Wordpress experience or something you might tailor from a static site generator either.

It’s perfectly fine for classic blogging, though. They aren’t neglecting or abandoning it. In fact it’s excellent, and I’ve used it almost as long as it has existed.

If you want to slap up a site for your podcast, a newsletter, a news site, etc. it isn’t a bad choice. Their theme market is a fairly good representation of what Ghost is good at; they have categories which cover, more or less, what it’s intended and expected to be used for.

The thing is, this story feels like BS because X never broke, in all this time. Devs can say all they want, but where's the breakage?

X has no provision for untrusted programs running with access to the X server. That design is naive by modern standards, but whether that's a "flaw" is a matter of interpretation. It would be nice if there were a model for running individual applications as application specific users or subusers, but Wayland doesn't solve that problem, either.

X being 40 years old has nothing to do with when it's reasonable to break compatibility. The amount of time that a suitable replacement has been around does matter; Typical times are 2-5 years from a suitable replacement being available to deprecation, which is to say that we'll be able to deprecate X in 2040 when someone's built something that actually solves user needs, unlike Wayland.
Ask HN: How are Angular releases with breaking changes?
One of the complaints with frontend development is that "my code which worked in year N stops working in year N+2".

A wave of developers soured on the complexity of AngularJS, and especially so with the AngularJS ( Angular 1 ) -> Angular ( Angular 2 ) migration, which was effectively a new framework and burned developer goodwill.

Recently I've noticed people saying good things about Angular again and that it "just works" / batteries-included, unlike the React ecosystem since React is "only a library" rather than a framework.

Since Angular 2, what have your experiences been with Angular working from year N to N+2? How often were you forced to do migrations, or are you still on an old version? What are the risks of not upgrading?
> The crypto exchanges could take the same position as the credit card companies. Then you are stuck using on-chain transactions and paying fees.

That seems incredibly unlikely. They didn't shut it down for ape pictures and Matt Damon. You lump libertarians in with sex positive people and you can't really tell them apart anymore.

> Plus you have the inherent risks and instability of most crypto systems

True.

> (the most popular of which murder the climate).

Everything we do murders the climate. We're not going to fix the problem without a total economic shutdown. Pointing fingers at crypto folks when Google is training ginormous ML models it won't release and while everyone else continues to fly, drive, enjoy indoor temperatures, eat meat, and buy plastic is a bit like throwing rocks in a glass house.

Maybe half-invented, but I read an architect's memoirs some years ago and he was saying how around the 1940s there were often cases when he and his chief-architect/supervisor at the time were actually chased out (like, physically) from the construction sites whenever they were coming in to add/make some changes that the constructor was considering as being too over the top/unrealistic. We need for that attitude to come back, at least in a metaphorical way, otherwise we'll continue being stuck with projects like this one.
