It’s still having to sign up for another account- probably using Facebook login- but once you have the dang thing you have to manage payment options, privacy settings, email and push notifications, having the damn app store icon sit on your Home Screen, non-zero friction that comes with the current era where consumers already juggle multiple social networks, streaming services, e-commerce memberships, music or gaming stores, and so on. It’s an annoyance and a hassle and unless Meta brings out sufficient new incentives as part of it, users are gonna balk. Most users do not want to deal with yet another payment system like Libra. Finally, government regulators would probably probe Meta for antitrust violations if they withhold a critical communication app like WhatsApp from the official iOS App Store, without opening the protocol up for federation. What applies to Apple still applies to other companies.
You're right, it is recent. And it's a shame it didn't come much sooner. A well-regulated militia is necessary to the security of a free state, but that doesn't mean it's the only reason to bear arms.

It's almost like they left an oppressive government where only privileged people whom the government trusts were permitted to obtain arms, and they were like "maybe we shouldn't give the government that discerning power again."
Probably Acrobat.
I thought it was because the hairs on the brush get 'blunt' from erosion on your teeth.
The 'applied science' guy had an electron microscope capture of new and old toothbrushes and it was the differences between needle sharp edges and worn out clubs.
Well, perhaps it is not possible to die in this universe, and there are several takes on this idea, see e.g. quantum suicide on wikipedia, or perhaps time starts looping (e.g. you reincarnate as yourself), or perhaps you even reincarnate as somebody else (in the future or in the past). Remember: we know very little about what is time and consciousness.

The "you have solved philosophy" message at the end of the game is very far from the truth.
Could a developer use Squeak as an emacs replacement?
> If you love git so much, try to do a squash merge to the main, then do some other changes in your branch, and try to merge again. Have fun solving all the merge conflicts that actually shouldn't be there.

Why I should want to do it? It feels unnatural. What problem you are trying to solve by this workflow?

I'm very curious how your favorite VCS handle this case.
You're downvoted, but I'm certain this is exactly what it is.
Not entirely sure about what this refers to, but..

1: The Moderna vaccine is separate from Pfizer/Biontech even if they share technological base.

2: Moderna was discontinued for younger people (below 30yos) in at least some European countries due to slightly higher risk of myocarditis (even if the Pfizer vaccine had slightly lower efficiancy).

Seems like both vaccines are allowed for smaller children in the US now. Over here they put the cutoff for the vaccine at 12-13yos iirc (my older kid got it but not my younger one).
It depends on which backend you want to use (currently Groth16 or Nova, but more options can be implemented). For example, Nova proof is roughly 8-9 KB. In this situation we have that verification is not constant, for instance, for 2^20 constraints it would take roughly 1s.
For what it's worth, I bought my partner an 8gb Air a couple months ago. I had reservations about that amount of memory but she insisted on not spending more money. As far as she's told me she's experienced no performance issues whatsoever as a non-developer (she uses her laptop for video conferencing, email, and web browsing).
The police made a different statement and claimed that they had only requested RazorPay donor information of any foreign donors to AltNews (which claimed that it had restricted payments only from Indian citizens in India), and that they hadn’t asked RazorPay to disable the account of AltNews. Yet, RazorPay disabled the account for a day and then enabled it.

Now, the request was made under a law (CRPC 91) that allows the police to request for any “document or thing”. So a court order is not necessary.

But there seems to be a lot that’s not being revealed here honestly.

While I wouldn’t blame RazorPay for being yet another scared Indian company that obeys (perceived) authority immediately for any request from any government entity, it doesn’t bode well that no Indian started company stands up to law enforcement or the government. Only some multinational companies seem to have the guts to question unreasonable requests.

Indian laws are overly broad and sometimes it seems like the whole system can be simplified into a few sentences that allows government authorities in any department to request or takeover anything and cite “national security” or “public law and order” as the reasons. /s

Seriously though, the “largest democracy” tag doesn’t go well with the laws and the legal system. It’s a disappointment and a shame.

My dad passed away and I was raised by an older sister, mom, and maid. I didn't like watching sports, never caused any trouble, and listened to anything I was told. My mental health was shit. It wasn't till I started playing basketball, pushing around and making shots on 'Jocks' who were bigger and more athletic than me, that I felt my mental health completely cured itself.

Basketball is an amazing game because you can go to almost any court in the evening and you will find guys who want to play. I often play with scrawny, pimply faced guys who I don't doubt have had thoughts of violence at one point or another, but on the basketball court they ball hard and earn the respect of everyone on the court through teamwork and hustle. It's totally evident to anyone who has experienced it how one good play can do away with anger, resentment and doubt, do the work of years of therapy.
Urban centers don't survive well under declining population either, so it's kind of an orthogonal question.
Awesome to watch, and I recommend listening to the technical explanations if you have time.

I love some of the YouTube videos coming out recently explaining not just this exploit, but also some of the Zelda: Ocarina of Time applications of ACE, including a new category called "Triforce%," in which speedrunners use a program to input millions of inputs that essentially code a _new game_ within the _original, un-modded cartridge._

I feel like I've learned more about assembly and architecture concepts from those videos in the past year or so than I had reading any other book over the course of my career.
Maybe changing it into finding an archive file given its ID (not an auto-incrementing key, but something like its owner's national identification number) is better? They both belong to the category of creating a sorted dictionary structure in the physical world.
I'm not expecting anyone to know what Knuth actually wrote, but the comment about premature optimization is quoted a lot out of context, usually with "premature" left out. Whether it was a joke or not, it's now taken as gospel.

I find it really odd that you have never run into this attitude. I've experienced it in almost every job I've ever had. I'm fairly sure that Scrum also considers thinking about your problem at all wrong, because it's not an user story.

> Plus using the GPU they already have is loads cheaper for the users than buying a faster CPU.

Actual quote from a former CTO: "The client likes that our software has so high hardware requirements, because it makes them think it does something really difficult"

> It’s infeasible because it’s slower, so much slower people can’t tolerate it.

Yes, this is exactly what I meant.

All metaphors melt if you push them loudly enough.

The point isn't to find the most apt metaphore.

The point is that there's a looming crisis, humanity is hurtling toward it at breakneck speed, and there's little if any time left to act.

I've had discussions myself with friends and family over this. One response has been that "the people who need to know about this know what the problem is and how to respond". That particular response came before a novel coronavirus emerged in a land far away and spread across the globe in days and weeks.

Pandemics are an emergency we've seen before, that we have contingencies and plans for, whose dynamics we understand, etc., etc., etc. And yet the world, as a whole failed miserably, through the mechanism of individual countries, regions (state, provinces, counties, etc.) and cities failing to act effectively.

With a very few exceptions. Taiwan, New Zealand, Australia, South Korea, Japan, and somewhat improbably the poorer south-east Asian countries of Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, and Laos, seem to have responded highly effectively, at least initially. As has mainland China, for the most part.

But as a dress-rehersal for a far more challenging crisis, I'm both underwhelmed and terrified of what else lies in store.
Yes, and it's the same telos driving all life, which has spread to every possible corner of the globe, and now will spread throughout the galaxy. I don't think anything that fundamental should be challenged.
True, I imagine the next course of action would be something like "do nothing" — continue straight, try to be predictable, hope that other people in the situation can react accordingly.
Or just take photos of your child in advance and call 911 if they go missing.
I've not really encountered not being able to do something I needed to do with my Mac before that I can recall.

You don't give many concrete examples of things you're unable to do, so I can't help you figure them out. The file manager is a joke? Well it lets you manage files not sure what else you need.

I'd done my whole career doing PhD-level systems research on my Macs - hasn't held me back from doing anything.

> Don't confuse lacking a POSIX certification with the lack of power.

Don't confuse POSIX for UNIX!

> It can't even run Docker properly.

What are you missing with Docker? I use Docker all the time. It's fine what's wrong?
I'm pretty sure if it could optimize the process of working with documents, it would have a huge value.
Closing with "The engineer involved still works at Atlassian and adds a lot of value to our team" sounds pretty blameful to me, at least pointing a big ol' finger at him/her.
Cigarettes are clearly going towards being banned. Which is a good thing. But unlike alcohol prohibition, it seems like the current plan is to just try to prevent new users and let the current users smoke until they die (or help them quit if they choose to).
I am not a fan of this idea. My preference would be that parents could use an open source application and store-bought kit to gather/store datapoints on their children fingerprint kit, iris scan, DNA gathering and if/when something bad happens the parents can share the data with the appropriate law enforcement agencies that are actually involved in the case. There would also need to be data retention/destruction laws on the books that mandates when the copy of the data must be destroyed by law enforcement and serious consequences for a law enforcement agency should they side step the data retention requirements.

Anything short of this feels like a catch-all extension of ID.me and hospitals now gathering DNA from babies without the parents knowledge or consent. Children can not consent to their data being captured in this manor. This should be a role of parents and they should be securely storing this data in my very less than humble opinion. One copy on-site and one copy in a bank safety deposit box and/or one copy stored off-site with a relative, ideally someone legally designated as an emergency legal guardian.
Chrome/Edge PDF viewers are pretty secure. You can reasonably safely open anything in them.

Desktop PDF viewers like acrobat are gaping security holes... Don't use them!
The problem is not democracy, it is electoralism. Deciding who should rule by voting simply is not an effective means for the public to wield power. There's a profound lack of granularity, an incentive towards short-termism, a bias that favors charismatic demagogues, and a tendency for the formation of political cliques.

Referenda aren't much better, as they give disproportionate power to media institutions. The average person simple does not have much time, energy, or incentive to devote to developing a deep understanding of political issues.

Rather, a sortition-based system centered around deliberative citizens' assemblies is more optimal (at least for societies with realtivelt little linguistic diversity). By convening a representative random sample of the population and giving them the opportunity to research and deliberate, you create an avatar of the public that can most effectively rule on the public's behalf.

Of course, citizens' assemblies are too unwieldy (and expensive) to be used for all aspects of legislation. But they can also be used to appoint administrators, veto legislation, propose referenda, etc.
I agree but the incentives are sometimes too strong to ignore. I've seen too many cases where even if you're trying to ignore the incentives, they're sometimes forced on you, or you're bullied into them. Sometimes it's not an emotional thing even, the bullying starts to have practical consequences.

I'd even go so far as to say today this is a sign of a strong academic department, one that is comfortable with its faculty sometimes having periods of time where they are going against trend. Unfortunately, it's becoming less and less common.
I've brought this up before, and someone responded that they'll move iOS app building and compilation into a web service, and they will no longer need to sell general-purpose computers, and the idea haunts me.
I'm a current Linux Desktop (plasma) user, who is really tempted by this machine, given my 6 year old thinkpad is showing it's age. I'm not sure I can get used to MacOS's window management, even though the rest of the OS looks great. I'm definitely not a power user on linux (mostly sticking to defaults), but things like not being able to adjust the green button to maximize a window? Ugh.
> We should at least consider the possibility this is just a bunch of lowlifes trying to cash in with lawsuits on stuff that is sadly routine in many blue collar work setting

Calling minority workers “lowlifes” is classy, and even
if illegal race discrimination is pervasive in many blue collar work settings, so what? “Everyone employer does it” isn't a justification, just a reason that imposing consequences to break the practice is more urgent.

You have to know the rules to break them effectively. Like, if your story is about a new kind of poison, which your reader cannot know anything about, awesome. But understand that your story is now about that new poison, not about solving the murder, because solving the murder is impossible without special, in-universe knowledge.

that'd be Anaplan I assume?
The fans of my m1 16" max turn on so rarely that I doubt they will get as dirty as previous Macs. If you're working in an area that is so dirty that you have to clean your fans often, imagine what you're breathing. I'd suggest getting an air filter.
That's unfair. Maybe that was somewhat true to an extent for the American part of FCA, but isn't for PSA and Opel. The latter were in not great shape under GM for decades, but were turned around by PSA in a few years. Peugeot, Citroen, DS, Opel have good reputation.
“things kids get addicted to that gives them heart disease and glass lung” seems like something across society’s imaginary line
Juul's competitors are probably using different additives.
Well, that's why I said "scamming is wrong". Maybe I should revert the order of phrases, because people seem to forget I said the first sentence.
> Switches the default bytecode set to SistaV1. This lays the basis for a new generation of VM optimizations (Sista: Speculative Inlining Smalltalk Architecture). With Sista, blocks are represented by CompiledBlocks and instantiated as FullBlockClosures, the stability of which has been improved in the course of this switch (fixed bugs in FullBlockClosure >> #= and InstructionStream >> #scanForInstructionSequence:). Provides new encoding accessors.

Nice to see Sista finally seeing the light of the day. Hope it will be available Pharo as well, by the next release. That's awesome!
Awesome. I think there's a huge need for a search engine filtering out commercial content. It's basically just all spam.

Recently I wanted to find information on hacking a device I had obtained - but of course any search query I could throw at search engines only yielded ways to buy it or low-effort reviews. I tried marginalia but it seems like the index wasn't quite large enough for my purpose yet.
A Macbook Air is also an accessory and a luxury item, though
I think hate speech laws in India are overboard - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech_laws_in_India and although not enacted by current govt. it can be easily abused by police and that is what is happening in many instances.

These laws are vague to a fault and govt. has given themselves too much power (and I do not see it changing anytime soon, who wants to give up power?). It is easy to selectively apply these laws and that in itself can promote enmity that these laws were designed to protect from.
> Actually I'd go further and say that this idea creates a lot of problems. For example, if I goof password storage and expose our users' personal information, what were you supposed to do to prevent this?

Hire better. Pithy response, but that's how responsibility aggregates.
The point of Juul and similar vaping products is they are a way to get people off cigarettes, which are significantly more harmful. Banning Juul and similar products will only increase smoking rates. I'm not sure why the government wants to increase smoking rates, but there is certainly financial incentive to do so based on the 1998 Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement.

How did you all even read it with the goddamn paywall? Incognito window doesn't seem to work anymore...
If you look at the FDA press release it does seem like they seem to have mostly narrowed down the at-risk groups since, I guess they might've also tweaked dosages at this point.

In the early days of 3G USB modems, an ISP I was using would notice JPEGs being downloaded and recompress them with lower quality. I guess they used a transparent HTTP proxy to do so, to save their cellular bandwidth.
> MY only gripe with the M1 and M2 Air the lack of support for more than a single external screen.

Officially Apple specs out a single external screen, but using DisplayPort you can do more. The video below shows how to connect an unreasonable number of external monitors to an Apple Silicon laptop, but a two-external-monitor configuration doesn't seem too crazy.

That feels like it cuts against the core of the f what Apple is, but it’s possible if Cook is succeeded by someone with no connection to old leadership.
MySpace really wasn't that weird, they just had a bug that allowed people to express themselves with code and decided to leave it.
So... the last 3-4 Apple events have had minute long segments with Johny Srouji presenting the Apple Silicon chips. He is Apple's senior vice president of hardware technologies.

There is an interview with him in the Wall Street Journal here:

https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-chips-that-rebooted-the-mac...
zero-knowledge proofs are a means of showing you know a thing without exposing the thing itself.

In the context of lurk, the "thing" is executed computation. That's useful because sometimes computation is expensive, and we'd like to run that expensive computation, anywhere, once, and be able to re-use the result.
At the same time, the world would be a better place if people cared about more things than material well being.

If people are fine with less consumption and are willing to trade it for the sake of what they see as a better society.. Why not?

That's like looking at hippy community out in the forests. And then bitching at them that they'll have very serious economic consequences.
Having had an M1 Air with 8GB of RAM--under very light use it was great, but under anything a little more taxing (a good number of tabs, having Discord open, a relatively "light" creative app like Logic or Fusion 360) it would very rapidly not just get bad, but get stop-the-world awful. (edit: and as a sibling poster notes, plugging it into an external monitor made things a lot worse!)

I don't know if MacOS's low-RAM behavior has anything particular to it that makes it act so erratically, but it's the only time using a Mac in the last ten years where I've gone "oh, this sucks." Going to 16GB of RAM is a way better spot, I think, for folks who want more than strictly web-browser-and-keyboard. (And those folks are probably better off with an iPad in 2022 I think? The current iPads are great.)
I didn’t intend to have the conversations I’d had on HN to appear like teasers (although that is a cool thought). I don’t have any public write ups on it or a public distribution point. It was pretty heavily argued that I was being unreasonable about not releasing, at a minimum, a blog about it for ‘fear’ of unwanted criticism. I don’t have a GitHub (all my code is proprietary for my job so it is never released) so I may try and set up a repo or try and find a place to host a blog.
Any benevolent dictator eventually loses power or dies.
I was expecting a substantive analysis, but this is just a rant.
Singapore is the sole exception to the rule that small coalitions produce worse outcomes for the populace. It was a fluke, Lee Kuan Yew just happened to be the right person in the right place at the right time. Generally speaking, small coalition regimes (governments that require the assent of a relatively small number of people to maintain power) have a strong incentive to favor private rewards to their supporters over public goods.

Thus you can assume it won't be relied on or its flaws will be adequately mitigated.
