It almost sounds like they’re cheaping out in build quality to compensate.

I can’t help but hope this is the beginning of Apples commercial decline. That consumers will finally see them for the mediocre culture hoarder they really are, but I dream.
hi there. we're working on this, been working on a model for months now. hope to release something soon. how best to get in touch with you?
Because subsidies are a matter of public record and you can look up who is receiving them.
My whole family and I would switch from Firefox to Brave today if Brave (and really, Chromium, under the hood) supported multi-account containers. It's simply too amazing a feature to give up. As it stands, I have five PCs running Firefox in my house.
It is unfortunately the least garbage of most of the cloud providers, but until it supports MQTTv5 out of the box then it is useless for most modern MQTT deployments
Very important article. One translation: You can explain one level of a stack but imagine you can explain many levels. Overconfidence in self-estimation correlated to limited performance-testing and limited experience with challenges.

I haven't finished the article, so of course I am overestimating my understanding of it.

Could some results be culture-bound? I've heard that Americans average higher at reporting "I am good at math" while having lower international scores.
TBH, the comments here are way more positive than I expected.

And the search engine is actually pretty decent (from my test).

Twilio just had 125 customers get hacked thanks to a social engineering attack including ones like Signal.
I’ve never heard of a PEX installation method that used glue. Perhaps your thinking if CPVC?
>No real indication of what anyone should DO with such information.

Do you build infrastructure? If no, the fact that 10 feet of rain can fall is mostly useless, unless you're buying a house downstream of a dam to keep in the family.

The situation is widely reported because it's a great fear based headline and gets the clicks. With that said, it's something every civil engineer that could build a project in CA should know about, because their decisions now could lead to the death of a very large number of people at some point in the future. That marginal wetland that could be reclaimed for housing shouldn't be, unless you like the news that comes out of Houston every once in a while.
> a deflationary currency tends

While Bitcoin might be a deflationary currency (i.e. max supply), cryptocurrency more generally has infinite supply (anyone can start a currency).
Well, or we could remember the idea of linux… „IP reasons“ shouldn‘t be an obstacle in the first place… lol
That doesn’t sound very general purpose.
I wanted something faster than Make that was cross platform, that let me also define my own processes instead of needing high level "language aware" build systems.

Tup fit nicely, until build variants or Java were needed.

Aside from not really working well on Windows, at least at the time, variants were completely broken on Windows.

Further, compiling any Java with inner classes was impossible since they emitted extra class files for each inner class, which meant the build artifact hierarchy depended on the code - something Tup isn't prepared to handle.

It just got really annoying over time.

Ninja-based systems quickly replaced it for me.
The 1920s was very famous for wealth inequality, so im not sure that's true.

With a quick google i found this graph https://www.cbpp.org/wealth-concentration-has-been-rising-to... which suggests that the present is much more unequal than the 1970s, but still hasn't risen to the level of inequality from the pre WW2 era.
OK. And you've not responded to the simple question of which patent you were referring to. That makes it clear of your 'substantive'ness and again is consistent with what I've observed on HN about this type of comments.
Ask HN: Where to meet people who are interested in building a company together?
Where can I meet people who are serious about working on something together? I've been trying to meet people who may want to be co-founders together or just discuss/hack on some ideas together with the goal of building something bigger.

My connections & network is mostly other tech workers, but so far they have at least been honest with me that they're not interested in building a company or products, they are more into enjoying fat paychecks and there's nothing wrong with that. I've tried to do the same, but I would much rather use my paychecks to give me a good runway for the next few years to fully devote to building a company. Unfortunately for me, I didn't study CS at a top uni either, so I guess whatever chance I could have had to meet people in my prime is out of grasp since I've been out of college for years now.

tl;dr where can I go to meet "serious" co-founder tier people?

Its BS. The low latency part doesnt come from LE, but from adopting yet another proprietary blob Audio codec. Instead of standardizing on OPUS they went with LC3. 20 more years of royalties for fraunhofer.

Except that's not the net effect. When you spend $20 billion on a nuclear plant it becomes a lot harder to also spend $5 billion on the same net capacity of solar.

There are plenty of much lower hanging fruit available than a nuclear plant. Insulation, residential thermal batteries, trains, cycleways, green hydrogen infrastructure, solar water heating, CAES projects, variable load upgrades to aluminium smelters, etc. etc.

I'm all for increasing public spend on green energy, but until there's enough money for the cost efficient things, then nuclear is just helping the fossil fuel industry

It took far too long, given the huge benefits of HTTP/3 for mobile web users, any performance-focused website already moved to CDNs (like CloudFlare) that supported it long ago (even when it was still named QUIC and Chrome-only).

The Military Industrial complex gives two shits on a popsicle about how many people die as long as they get to sell their weapons.
Even mass shootings within schools inside US does not deter the arms industry, you really think they would care about Ukrainian/Russian lives or even a nuclear armageddon?

Pity the fools who think US is supplying the arms in Ukraine for "upholding democracy". It's more about selling arms and making sure the oil/gas well in east Ukraine is not taken over by Russia.
You should add an additional rule that another 1/3 of the time will need added on maintenance for the 1/3rd of the time spent on new features.

1/3 = adding new features.

1/3 = maintaining the security posture of the application and keeping it up to date.

1/3 = spent figuring out why the new features blew up in the field after passing all testing.
What happens if a page is partially downloaded?
It’s kinda hilarious in hindsight. Almost everything could still be done analog back in 2000. If we’d have the Y2K problem _now_ the sky might actually fall.
Imagine you bought a house you like. A year later a team of exterior painters knocks on your door and tells you they are going to repaint your house to keep it up to date with thr latest trends. With some effort you manage to kick them out. This situation repeats a few times until a few months later they show up at night and paint your house without your permission, partially painting over some of the windows and even your car. They also replace your dog with a cat. They do it because they are full time painters employed by the city council and they cant just sit and do nothing.
A while back I went through several of these kinds of build systems. The one I eventually settled on was Snakemake[1], with which I finally was able to put together an entire complex bioinformatics workflow[2]. I would say that Snakemake's strength is one of Perl's old mottos: "making easy things easy and hard things possible." On the easy side, writing a simple rule with fixed inputs and outputs is just as easy as Make (trading the weird whitespace rules of Make for the less weird whitespace rules of Python). On the hard side, it supports stuff like computing inputs at runtime, or using regex capture groups to determine output file names from input file names. So for example you can have your rule for LaTeX to PDF conversion read the source TeX file, determine all the external images, bib files, etc. referenced from it, and add those files as input dependencies so that when any of them changes, Snakemake will know to rebuild the PDF. See e.g. this rule[3] that builds my resume PDF from the LyX source.

I guess I missed where the growth argument was being used. Sounds like we agree that there's no implicit need for signal to explode into oblivion like a unicorn prancing over a rainbow.

I've never regarded a phone number as something extraordinarily personal. The amount of spammers that happen across my phone number is ridiculous. It's nice when you interact with a real human using your phone number (unless it's a recruiter ffs), so the more I give it to the more likely that is to happen. I guess I just don't understand what's personally revealing about a phone number. I give my phone number to mundane things all the time so people can communicate with me. The "need to know" bar for my phone number is pretty low. It plays about the same role as an email address in my life.
They are a new hardware company that shipped their first product less than 12 months ago. They are not going to make everyone happy in their first year. What they are selling is reparability and upgradability in a good formfactor. If they launch a high-end ARM chipset next year, you can buy it and then install it in your mac-book air sized laptop in 10 minutes. You can then take the old MOBO/CPU and use it as NUC. When they launch better screens, you can take the stock one out and spend $40 on a USB-C adapter to turn it into an external monitor. I'll take that over Apple's "you get what you get, and you will like it, because we know better" approach any day.

I want to know too. Are the landmasses becoming thicker over time, at least the relatively uninhabited portions of it?
It would all depend on what happens with a read-error on L2ARC (I have no clue).
To avoid a lot of us HN people bouncing, I think you should offer a little insight into the product rather than slamming into a sign up page.

I would put some charts and example analysis on that sign up page.

I just noticed your apex page has this - https://www.xaaspricing.com/.

Therefore I would at least link to that with a learn more button, or something like that.
This reads less like a story about how clever Discord engineers are, and more like how bad GCP is!

In Azure, I don't have to worry about any of this. There's a flag to enable read-only or read-write caching for remote disks, and it takes care of the local SSD cache tier for me! Because this is host-level, it can be enabled for system disks too.
Sure...but that doesn't change that macOS state restoration is working well in this example, even if it's a trivial example
I think your second guess is the closest - but, I'd push you a bit further: Very few single mistakes are so big that that single mistake will doom a company, especially a company that's seeing a bunch of success and growth.

In the Groupon case, I pretty quickly see two key mistakes:

* not being willing to make a hard decision ("following the data" on short term metrics for something he said he knew didn't feel right as a long term decision)

* not being able to keep an eye on the long-term and change course when needed. He frames this as "it happened too fast" but also makes it sound like this wasn't one decision, but a whole series of them.

These are both classic new-leader mistakes, so maybe the version of Groupon that hadn't imploded in a parallel universe still made them but also learned from them just soon enough to prevent disaster.

Mistakes are inevitable, how you respond to them matters just as much.
That doesn't subtract from my point, ie. that React and Node have been mainstream for many years and continue to dominate in the jobs market so how anyone with these skills can say they're not keeping up with front-end tech doesn't quite add up.
That's fine and you're welcome to think that. I would throw the baby out with the bathwater and assume the book is trash because it uses a technique you don't approve think is most efficient.

Would you complain about the employees attitude at Burger King if they had like 3 people running it? That’s pretty much what Firefox is today, trying to operate as a modern browser.
I can think of many exceptions to this both on large and small "towns" and depending on what is meant by corruption. E.g., NYC is very large but not exactly friendly to business nor easy to navigate unless you have lots of money to spread around to "permit expeditors"" and oddly interested neighborhood groups and of course lots of lawyers and even then it's a roll of the dice on whether you'll be allowed to operate in an economically viable manner.

You don't need chroot to make sure that your build uses correct versions of all dependencies; you just need a sane build system that doesn't grab system-wide headers and libs. Setting up chroot is way overkill for this purpose; it's not something that should even require root.

In case of Windows SDK, each version ships headers that are compatible going all the way back to Win9x, and you use #defines to select the subset that corresponds to the OS you're targeting.

With respect to the C runtime, Windows has been shipping its equivalent of glibc as a builtin OS component for 7 years now. And prior to that, you could always statically link.

You don't use a password manager?
Apple has the HIG (Human Interface Guideline) and I expect the Android ecosystem has something similar. You can lookup periodicals in a library for human/machine interfacing topics. The loss of visual feedback on volume change to toothpick thinbar and wrongheaded direction alignment when you rotate your iOS device between physical button and visual feedback is a painpoint on Apple devices.
Is this typically how large language models are used for classification? With prompts?

Silicon can make 6 covalent bonds (I think; it’s been a while since I’ve taken any formal chemistry/material science courses).
After mastering *nix userland, Windows is suffocating. Not having ads slipstreamed into my start menu, or not having the calculator take 10sec to start due to telemetry, or not having my CPU/HD/RAM hammered by Cortana no matter how many different ways I disabled it, or not having updates+reboots forcing themselves at the absolute worst time, or...

The advantage over OSX is commodity hardware: easy upgrades/downgrades/repairs, & lower cost. Swapping HD in my macbook involved ordering special screwdrivers & prybars, then at least 30min worth of disassembly/re-assembly. Last linux/PC upgrade consisted of slapping the old HD into the new PC and powering on--10 minutes max. Aside from that, OSX is nice.

This is the dark side of dealing with Apple. They won't take responsibility for anything. I bought my partner and iPhone 11 Max Pro and shortly after the warranty period ended a vertical band of light appeared spontaneously on the screen. No concession from Apple so £309 for a repair. Gouged doesn't come close.
Can you link to the implementation? I'll agree that a 4 digit pin is rather egregious and trivially crackable. I don't know a single serious cryptographer that would allow such nonsense which is why your comment sounds so unbelievable. I thought they were blending the pin with some device-local entropy to make a reasonably strong key. I'd like to verify your claim.
I've been well served of late by SearX, specifically instances running the new-ish SearXNG (fork?).

SearX is a search aggregator, rather than having its own crawler, and as such a number of its instances getting temp suspensions for running too many requests in too short a time on the various search engines it queries. I still get good enough results from it.
> I, for example, hate ads and use adblock always.

> But I don't think it's fair for me to go and say that everyone should forced to not put ads on their stuff.

You can use ad blocking software because browsers are on our side. Our browsers support uBlock Origin whether webmasters like it or not and they don't have the power to force us to switch.

What companies like Discord and WhatsApp do is akin to contractually requiring us to use a specific browser that does their bidding on pain of banishment from the platform. That's how they get away with advertising, spamming, surveillance, DRM and countless other abuses: by forcing us to run their software on our computers if we want to use their service. If we could run our own clients, they would be powerless.
A vehicle needing a repair that costs 50% of its new MSRP is extremely rare, outside of a few electric vehicle battery packs.

In addition, when a vehicle reaches the point where any common repair costs more than it's current market value, it's basically considered worthless and only desperate people buy them. How long does it take an apple product to reach that point? A year?
Yeah but as a consequence, games (closed source games, which means basically all of them) don’t even bother targeting Linux.
Microsoft insisted on introducing a bunch of breaking changes into .NET Core (and all future .NET versions), making 4.8 a "dead end" in which many enterprise customers of mine have become stuck.

ASP.NET Web Forms sites are especially stuck, and on top of that I have customers that have developed Web Forms sites in VB.NET! Luckily there are some good bulk-conversion tools available now, but still, there is no smooth upgrade path for a lot of popular systems.

Similarly, Windows Communication Foundation, Workflow Foundation, and a bunch of other popular libraries or frameworks are dead in the water. SAP Crystal Reports is surprisingly common, but doesn't even have an official NuGet package!

>You could subscribe to all of them and also buy all the stuff even from outside market if you had money.

No, if you're not in the right region, a lot of stuff is simply unavailable to you at any price, or it's not available in your language. For instance, if you're in America, even if something is available, it's been converted into English so you can't watch it in the original language.

It doesn't matter how much money you have, unless you're talking about flying a private jet to that region which is just ridiculous.

Our main result is that Betelgeuse was recorded with a color significantly different (non-red) than today. Hyginus (Rome) and Sima Qian (China) independently report it two millennia ago as appearing like Saturn in color and `yellow', respectively different from today.

I'm curious as to why with a system like Scylla (that I assume shares the same replication properties as Cassandra which my experience is based off of here) you can't just use the local SSDs and absorb the disk failures. If you space things out across AZs you wouldn't expect to lose quorum and can rebuild dead servers without issue. Is this to run things with a replication factor of 1 or something?

I've done this in past roles on AWS with their i3, etc. family with local attached storage and didn't use EBS.
The M1 chip does support the x86 memory ordering, which allows the software instruction set emulation to not have to do memory ordering work in software.

A moderator must moderate vigorously or the admins will eventually take over the sub or shut it down, or both. Every sub of decent size if you search the mod logs has admin activity at some point, even if it is infrequent.
