I mean, sure, why are we calling it "Rust-style"; it comes from ML and its descendants and Rust is obviously very influenced by them. When I say "modern" I really mean... finally learned from what "we" were "all" reading about on Lambda The Ultimate 20 years ago about languages designed 40 years ago that were not part of the mainstream until about 5-10 years ago :-)

AFAIK TypeScript doesn't have ML-style pattern matching, but its type system is fairly expressive and you can do something "like" it https://dev.to/gvergnaud/bringing-pattern-matching-to-typesc...

The next target then is acquisition or an IPO which is then followed up by quarterly earnings. It’s always survival first unfortunately
I didn't update my Tesla for about a year and half.

It eventually complained with a custom message that I would completely lose cell access in the car (which powers navigation, etc) if I didn't run the v11 update.

I reluctantly updated because I know, and by that point they had fixed most of the UX issues that I had complaints about. The UI team at Tesla at least seems to listen to feedback from customers, which is more to say for bugs in any infotainment system that I've ever had in any other car I've owned.
Seems like this is probably it:

It is not a simple app, it's a bank. Not sure how you expect to open a UK bank account not living in the UK...

Edit: I've just checked the description in the Play Store and it says 'Open a full UK bank account'. Maybe that is new, but it is pretty clear.
I hope they don't change the way Axios is structured today. No overwhelming ads, simple layout, fast reading texts, good summary, etc. I used it as a "role model" for a local news website that I built in 2018. Took inspiration from Axios and tagesschau (https://tagesschau.de).
Well, Github (free or not) had no CI until Github Actions, which was after the acquisition. Integration with things like Travis were already there and free.
Git change compression is quite effective. Unless you start checking in large binaries, most companies will never get close to 5 GB. (Even 1 GB is a pretty substantial amount of code.)
I wish this were the case - believe me, I have tried many different API provided phone number endpoints and they are discriminated against by banks, google, etc.

In fact, twilio even started offering special numbers that are flagged and "vouched for" that should be treated as non-VOIP ... but they aren't.

If you really need it to work, it needs to be a number from a physical SIM card.

I'm quite sure what the outcome of a poll in the US and EU would be that asked:

Should it be legal to offer, or use, a service that masks the origin and destination of currency transactions from law enforcement who have obtained a proper court order.

Don't kid yourself, the tech/crypto crowd is not anywhere near average sentiment.
What's more, I still go to UPS to fax things.
This could be a good application of a Clippy lint.
The Axios newsletter first model is pretty good. They have direct access to subscribers without the baggage of actually printing anything. They’ve also done a good job of matching news content to attention spans. You get bullet points for the news with the ability to followup on what you want.

It does mean that it’s not as good for long-form journalism, but that’s not where the market is headed (for better or worse).

One of the other areas where Axios was moving (and where I think the valuation is coming from) is that they have expanded their DC insider model to more local sources. In an era where local news is struggling, having a setup for high quality local news without the overhead of a physical paper is great.
You're really bad at logic but you're confident in it; that's not a good combination.
AirPlay 1 doesn't have the nice multi-room audio support that AirPlay 2 does. It only has a much hackier version that works from iTunes, but not from your iPhone's media controller.

But if you only ever want to play to 1 device, then you're set.
I only glanced at this but I couldn't see anything about why you'd want to do this?

I'm guessing you get some more functionalities out of it?

Or Sonos compatibility?
You perceive Nathan's ideas on the show as "a solution to their problem that would make things better if only the advice was followed"? We must be watching different shows :)
Just for some conspiratorial fun, what if you converted your house into a meth lab? You're just assuming that Rumba will use collision and move mapping. Pretty crude by tomorrow's standards. What is the evolving difference between innocent search for marketing purposes vs search for illegal use, the consumer of the data product?
When I was learning math in public school, my family couldn't make heads or tails of my homework. Even in Kindergarden we learned that '2 = 1 + 1' was the same as '1 + 1 = 2', and we got started with '1 + ? = 3' even in first grade. A focus was put on mental math, teaching techniques to break two digit numbers up, before we did pencil-and-paper work. Whenever possible there would be more than one technique, and the class would discuss which one we liked the most. Once we all got to high school, our teachers kept remarking on how much quicker our year picked up the new subjects than previous years (we were one of the first crops of kids taught in this way).

My little cousin goes to the same elementary school as I did. When I looked over his homework, I saw none of what I was taught. A glance at his textbook showed they had switched back to the old method of teaching by rote. Apparently school board members who had run in part based on their skepticism of the new techniques had voted in a change in curriculum. One funeral at a time indeed.
Andrew & co. just don't miss. From All Gas No Brakes till now as Channel 5 the videos are either great or perfect. They always provide such an amazing insight.
Roosevelt personally ordered him out to Pearl Harbor to take the role of CINCPAC. King appears to have been ambivalent about him, at least up to Midway.
Probably. But that doesn't mean that it was the driving force behind the acquisition. Amazon, Google & Apple are all in a battle for the home automation ecosystem. They each want use to use Siri/Alexa/Assistant to control your tv, doorbell, security cams, and more. This seems like another product to add to that ecosystem.
Only two? Isn't that kind of unambitious, given that "lots of people" doesn't even restrict it to specific classes of people? Oh well, have five names and I'll restrict it for you to published scientists who specialize in climate/atmospheric science.

There are many more of course. Dr Spencer's page is a good introduction to some of the issues (but by no means the only ones) that cause scientists to disclaim armageddon predictions:

>Yes, most (all?) land belongs to countries.

But countries are more than land. It's not that Ukrainian land was part of USSR - the Ukrainian nation was part of USSR. Same with Russian nation.

>The program is a Russian effort and the result was a Russian rocket.

No, that's the point: the program was Soviet, and the result was a Soviet rocket. Russia was just one part of that. And if you look at the last two decades, you'll see what while Ukraine was able to build a functioning country, Russia failed to achieve anything apart from selling out what's left by USSR and oil/gas extraction using foreign-bought technologies.
Internet consistently failed to fulfil its biggest promises, such as:

- End to autocracies and government corruptions as citizens organize in unstoppable ways
- Nationalism and cultural conflicts fading away as everyone makes friends around the world and gains mutual understanding
- Poor people picking up free education on Internet and entering Middle Class
- Free trade among ordinary individuals without intermediaries

Instead sucky governments and mega corporations seem to have gained even more power against ordinary individuals through centralized control of various endpoints (so much for "keeps working in nuclear war" mesh vision) and individuals ignored the wealth of free knowledge available to engage in escapism and bias confirmation.

So I would argue that "for the people" Internet ended up meaning little for society, as opposed to advanced in computing in general and information technology in service of corporations, that did bring about huge economic and practical gains. For example, today's cars are tremendously more safe and efficient compared to what was possible with purely mechanical components. But that is not "Internet" per se.
We aren't talking about criminal conviction though. We are talking about something entirely different. We are talking about people freely transacting with people who the government already knows and has convicted of illegal activity. And those people who are freely transacting now have their funds difficult to spend, because because they are inextricably mixed up with illegal funds.

It's very hard to argue that you didn't know your funds were inextricably mixed up with those illegal funds because that is the a major purpose of a mixer. Choices like those have consequences. Falling under sanctions is one of them.
I like Krugman's 2013 piece on Bitcoin too.

"The practical misconception here — and it’s a big one — is the notion that we live in an era of wildly irresponsible money printing, with runaway inflation just around the corner. It’s true that the Federal Reserve and other central banks have greatly expanded their balance sheets — but they’ve done that explicitly as a temporary measure in response to economic crisis."

That temporary measure turned out to be not so temporary! And in fact it was only about to accelerate dramatically. And it turns out inflation is still a concern worth taking seriously.

I'm not a Bitcoin person, but even after Bitcoin's current crash, if you had done the opposite of what Krugman suggested in 2013 and bought Bitcoin, your investment would be up well over 20,000%.

>When high-bandwidth links allow every home to access animated, talking, holographic computerized encyclopedias, I can’t help thinking that kids still won’t use ’em.

He got that one 100%... Kids still wont touch educational content with a 10-ft pole, much less encyclopedias - unless (a) forced by parents, (b) they belong to the statistically small subset of nerds (I'm one, not meant offensively).
I think that could definitely be true at this point, though I don’t know for sure. Who has $1000 for a smart robot vac but not wifi?
Everything is valued based on growth - because capital gains tax is so much lower than income tax.

Share buybacks make this a lesser issue for megacap stocks with massive profits and margins.

When you're talking about two companies with small profit margins and profits (or negative profits / losses) - if Company A is growing much faster than Company B - the valuation comparison might seem ridiculous.

Here's a spreadsheet that makes it clear why the multiple on growth is so high when you consider tax and inflation: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q00Y8PEyQaiahEvJN0Aq...

It's obviously a flawed analysis, because stock prices are unpredictable (and, to a lesser extent, future revenues and margins). But it should make it clear why growth has such a high multiple.
In the contemporary world with git online, often in github, where you can put an actual URL to an Issue, PR, or commit in a comment in sourcecode -- it's SO valuable.

I think this is actually one of the under-rated most valuable aspects of github (and probably other similar systems), things it's changed the most -- that everything has a URI that can be linked to, including in code comments. And a reason I could never deal with "just git and email patches" without a web UI that gives everything a URI that can be linked to from text.

I especially like leaving links to issues in third-party open source dependencies. If someone comes along later and wants to change the thing that was a workaround to a bug -- they are easily started on the trail to figure out if the bug has been fixed, in what version of the dependency, etc.

They'll still run without the recoil spring, although probably not great for the bolt carrier/rear trunnion
I like Rails a lot and use it for my personal web-based projects. Rails (and Ruby in general) is (/are) great because of strong convention, as you mentioned.

But I would say that the danger is that you can break rules in bizarre unpredictable ways, which I've done myself and then gone WTF when going back to those projects years later.

It's also kind of annoying to set up and upgrade, lots of middleware to manage, but that's the case for almost every framework.
I like, I've been working on a faster parallel scanner written in go for the really large filesystems, in my env it's around 10x faster. In any case I find the scan -> database which the client can view quickly very useful.

Also note that there's text based, graphical, and web interfaces to view the database.
Thank you :-) It's difficult to remember to be honest because he was involved from very early on, when the game was barely playable. I remember showing him early prototypes and he used to give me "sympathy nods" because he didn't want to upset me, haha! It took (what felt like) months before the game was playable enough for him to enjoy it and by then he had already come up with many of the ideas and level designs himself.
I imagine Sonos compatibility for your own speaker config for (lots) less than Sonos offerings, or for things they don't offer at all.
It would be very expensive.

One person needs about 5 hectares of land to be self-sufficient (i.e. to cover all its food needs, including protein). If you can afford your own 432 Park Avenue (Cost: ~$1BUSD, Floor area: ~4ha) for that, then the answer is yes.

But also, with that same $1BUSD you could buy around 100,000 hectares of land in rural US, close to the size of Qatar; you can see how relatively inefficient vertical farming is in economic terms.

Carbon trading is a great idea in principle, but the amount of carbon emissions available on the market is set by governments, so it comes back to down to central planning. Albeit a less aggressive and much preferable kind to EU style "ban high powered kettles" micro-management.

* Short term: add explicit runtime checks for every step that may panic. With the way jump prediction works in modern processors, the runtime cost may be smaller than one may naively assume it is. Some of us would take, say, a 10% perf. degradation instead of chasing prod panics in the middle of the night.

* Long term: plug-in a richer type (logic) system, so one can safely prove the most costly runtime invariants at compile time.
Or to put it another way. If you use a mixer you are knowingly helping to launder money. Which is itself a crime.

Good pointers indeed -

Apple's code signing tool is open source, but heavily dependent on Cocoa/OSX libraries like CoreFoundation. I'm not sure if it works with any of the open-source reimplementations of these libraries, although I kind of want to try now, just for fun - has anyone done this already? Plus, it's not Written in Rust (TM)!

`xar` only signs packages, not Mach-O binaries, at least as far as I know?

Launch HN: Wolfia (YC S22) – A mobile app emulator you can share with a link
Hi HN! We’re Fabien and Naren, co-founders of Wolfia (https://www.wolfia.com). Wolfia lets you share a link to a mobile emulator running your app. Developers can get feedback instantly on a feature they just built by sharing a link to an interactive version of their app. We’re starting with Android but iOS is coming soon!

Mobile app development in 2022 is harder than it should be - you can't easily change a line of code, rebuild the app, and have someone on the other side of the world see the result in seconds. Instead of the rapid iterations that web app developers enjoy, mobile app developers are stuck with pushing builds every night and waiting a day for the team to see the new code. That's if they even have a nightly build setup. Most people also only have one phone, so they can never test the Android app if they have an iPhone and vice versa.

We've been developing mobile apps for over 10 years (at Facebook, Wealthfront, etc.). In that time, the tooling has dramatically improved, yet we still found ourselves having to go and install emulators on a PM's laptop and give them commands to copy and paste on the terminal because they didn't have an Android phone. Or we would have to procure test phones and wait for a build to be pushed. We’re building Wolfia to finally make this process seamless.

Wolfia lets developers send a link to an APK (an Android binary) that's running on an emulator accessible via the browser. You can then play with the app without the need for a physical device. This dramatically shortens the feedback loop and completely transforms the dev cycle: from days to hours or even minutes.

Product managers and designers can use it to check that a new feature is being built up to their specs. Developers can use it to check if the code is running correctly. Founders, user researchers and salespeople can use it for interactive demos of the product.

We host headless (without GUI) Android emulators with hardware acceleration running on AWS bare metal instances to get high performance. We use WebSockets to make a two-way connection between the browser and the emulator through ADB (Android Debug Bridge). The emulator's GUI is displayed on the browser via an H.264 video feed, and we relay the user's touch events back to the emulator. We use WSS to make this secure.

Try it for free at https://www.wolfia.com! (you can try a demo - we used Materialistic, an open source HN app - or sign up for free and upload your own app)

We would love to hear your thoughts, ideas and feedback!
“Trusted by the future”? What kind of hogwash is that - how do you gain trust from something that hasn’t happened yet? Even something like “Future proofed in the present” would be a better tag line.
Show HN: Reciped.io Solving What's for Dinner?
This is my first ShowHN, so go easy :). Public facing side is sort of a wikipedia of recipes, and ingredients, everything in markdown. When logged in, you can add recipes to your recipe book, and then it's drag and drop weekly meal planning. Grocery list gets auto-populated by the meals in your weekly list and sorted by section in the grocery store (produce, meat, dairy, spice aisle, frozen foods, ect). Grocery list itself is built for mobile, so you just swipe the item off the list as you grab it at the store. Recipes are easily forkable, so you can take a recipe and change it to suit your needs.

It would be interesting to see the actual data on the number of foreign nationals entering the US to give birth — either to have an "anchor baby" or, as the article points out, because they don't have access to a hospital — and see how this influences our mortality rates.

It's intuitively correct that a Mexican mother with poor or no prenatal care would be at a higher risk for complications involving her and/or her children, but real figures might be useful. It would also be an interesting data point for advocates and critics of stronger protections against illegal alien entries.

Does the US have any moral duty to protect the vulnerable and unborn from the shortcomings of their own state, above and beyond things like USAID? Should we have a "charity lane" for high-risk mothers? What would that do in terms of demographic changes in border communities and the US as a whole (assuming some new residents would choose to venture out into the new country their child just "unlocked")? How would their children vote when they come of age?
Patiently waiting for the government(s) to step in and start providing a modern ID service - a driver license with a built in private key, a fingerprint unlock, and a PIN.

The combination of the three can still be defeated by someone following you, stealing the card, lifting fingerprint from a glass, and spying the PIN, but that’s a lot of trouble to go through and online identity fraud will become extinct.
What I hate about the current ML space is that half the time is spent trying to get dependencies installed and set up correctly to match whatever project you're trying to run expects. Everything is just so brittle. Following tutorials like these never work out of the box.
Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and have a discussion with people who try to predict the future. And then "predict" what we actually have today. Describing how we get to laptops that are actually portable and have good battery runtime. Shrinking it even more to make it a smartphone. The internet getting infinitely faster, and coming over the air. And then finally arriving at TikTok and sharing dick pics via WhatsApp because that's just what the average Joe who doesn't live in the academic bubble is into. The reaction to that has to be priceless.
I hope there are space for both of us in whatever future comes to pass.

I love cars, trucks, and the things they enable me to do. Literally most of the things that make my life worth living are tied to using one.

Perhaps people can segregate into different cities or areas based on their preferences .
If you have a roomba, I would think you could block its internet access on your router via its mac address.

But for people with Comcast, I wonder if blocked if it could access what I call the "secret wide-open Concast Router" every Comcast Customer has. Sure there are ways around that.
