The non-transient condition is extinction of all western societies. That the same model is being exported to the developing world just means that the extinction will be general rather than localized.
Their target is existing MacOS users. Thats a BSD derived kernel and OS API and the model is quite different. Making a Linux kernel look right, is a path ?Gentoo? took some time ago, and I am unsure you can call it an unqualified success.

Wow, this part blew my mind:

> What most intrigued physicists about graphene was how the carbon flatland transformed electrons: Nothing could slow them down. Electrons often get tripped up by the lattice of atoms through which they move, acting heavier than their textbook mass (an insulator’s immobile electrons act as if they have infinite mass). Graphene’s flat lattice, however, let electrons whiz around at a 1,000,000 meters per second — only a few hundred times slower than the speed of light. At that constant, blistering speed, the electrons flew as if they had no mass at all, blessing graphene with extreme (though not super) conductivity.

I never thought electron drift velocity could be 1E6 m/s. That's wild. (For comparison, in copper it's closer to 1E-3 m/s.)

Where's the current Herb Alpert?

I've heard some modern trumpeters, but they weren't very good. The trumpet is a very difficult instrument to play well.

Guitars and keyboards are popular because of the wide range of sounds they can easily produce. Trumpets have a much more restricted set of sounds it can make, so I understand the reluctance to specialize on it.

But when done well, a trumpet sounds heavenly. Nothing can match its beauty.

So for context, I'm in automotive on the FAANG side and work closely with people at traditional companies.

There's some misunderstandings here. For one thing, there are obviously skilled people working at every salary level. What you're missing is that this is largely irrelevant. Relative compensation (in software) is a shockingly good proxy for all the associated support and people investments to support them. Employees that cost less are less supported and thus less enabled to produce high quality work than their better-paid counterparts, as a very rough rule of thumb.

It's my experience that OEMs are significantly less invested in their developers and the quality of the software they produce than any FAANG. They don't consider software to be a core competence and they rarely invest in the technical expertise to understand quality or push it internally.

The scale of dev costs is also pretty minor for vehicles as a whole. Amortized labor costs are typically on the order of 10-20% per vehicle. Devs are a small portion (~100s-1000s) of the tens of thousands of engineers that work at major OEMs and their suppliers. An extreme 2-3x wage increase would end up as a few percent increase, but the truth is there are cheaper ways to do that than salary. "All" they have to do is care about the software components the way many do about the mechanical components. It's a cultural problem rather than a strictly monetary one.
At this point, "Consistent shortcuts" is the main "feature" keeping me on MacOS.

Cmd+, opens preferences in every app.

Cmd+[ or ] goes "back" and "forward", in every app that has those concepts

Cmd+Shift+[ or ] switches tabs, in every app that has tabs, except a handful of stupid chat apps who think they're too good for it.

Cmd+W always closes the current tab, if the app has tabs, (or current window, if the app has no tabs), and does not quit the app – that's what Cmd+Q is for.

Etc.

Also notice how PageUp / PageDn, keys that my keyboard doesn't even have, are not used for crucial shortcuts like these.

Seemingly small things, but absolutely maddening when developers don't respect the common convention, or when a common convention does not exist.

I always thought this consistency was a feature of the app ecosystem and app developer attitudes rather than the OS itself, so I'm not sure what RavynOS can do to make third party apps obey their idea of consistent shortcuts? The wiki doesn't mention anything about shortcuts despite the language on the home page.
At least it has MSN Messenger instead of Teams.
Personally I find this kind of idea to be a dead end, since so much of what makes macOS special is really beyond the capabilities of anyone other than Apple. For example, total vertical integration, e.g. calling up kernel team and ask them to make a change for WebKit. SerenityOS also does this because Andreas Kling worked at Apple, realising that vertical integration is fundamental. But then there are other things, like incredible hardware integration with things like the trackpad and CoreAudio, as well as precise control over the CPU and power. I'll be interested to see if this goes anywhere but in my opinion there are better places to go, such as for example SerenityOS, which I think is a kind of operating system that is far more suitable for the space of people who don't want to buy Apple.

I'm generally a bit sceptical of this "copy macOS" idea. It isn't a particularly amazing operating system, it is mainly just very well supported by third parties considering that it is a unix. You won't have that if you recreate it in this way, and I'm not sure if you will be left with a very good experience.
Ha, I always mix up Bombardier, Embraer, Boeing and Airbus when it comes to whom bought whom. And yes, Bombardier always made great aircraft. Embraer as well, by the way.
> I have never seen cross-platform UI that would work and/or look close enough to native.

But wouldn't knowing that require that you investigated the tech choices of all the apps you are using? If not, there's a slight fallacy in that you only _know_ that the app is cross platform when you can see that it is. So then obviously all the apps you know is cross platform will look out of place, because that's how you know they are cross platform. Not sure I'm making the argument very well.

For instance, I'm don't think that the Discord app for iOS and Android looks out of place [0].

> Switching to React Native for the Android app means an experience that is ever-improving at a more rapid pace across every platform Discord is available on, while still retaining Android and iOS specific patterns in the UI.

If you ignore fashion and/or aesthetics, there are good reasons for white or gray/silver cars. Gray/silver is good for hiding dirt, so you don't have to wash it as often. White is cooler in the summer, and white is very visible so there's a (slightly) lower chance of being involved in a collision.
Runs smooth with FF for Android here.

Maybe the issue is something else entirely?
Just an opinion, but I think YouTube doesn't leverage their CDN for content that gets low views, and they also move that content to less responsive (less expensive) storage space... It makes accessing content with low views buffer a lot more than popular content, and increases the effect of lower viewership. If you look regularly at videos under 100 views, it becomes really apparent. This is why they also only feature low videos manually, and in small batches so they can move them to "higher priority" hosting. That may well explain your issues... I am not exactly sure where the high value host threshold for views is likely set though.

They are really not concerned with discovery of new (non sponsored) creators and talent on the platform, some of the best content I've found is really underviewed. I post my rare finds too - http://www.ruffandtuffrecordings.com/SELECTIONS

It hinders others when they embed YT video links into their own apps as well by making them slow to load. That way there's also little motivation for viewers to want to watch YT anywhere else but on the main platform.

i don't think it is these laws that reduce the birthrate. as far as i can see the birthrate correlates with living standards and education levels. higher education, access to and knowledge about contraception, more opportunity for alternative entertainment, not needing kids to take care of you in old age, are all factors that lower the birthrate. cost may be a factor too, but i believe that the cost of raising kids in 3rd word countries is still takes a greater part of their income than it is in 1st world countries.

france has the highest birthrate in europe, followed by ireland and sweden. i don't know what ireland and sweden are doing, but i understand that france offers infant daycare, allowing more parents to work.

as for this article, it specifically talks about families getting a third child when they already have two in car-seat age. it looks to me that the problem is not cost, but possibly the fact that many cars can't fit three car seats in the back.

this comment from the original discussion, and the study authors response also seem to support that idea:

In my estimate, the common joe cannot distinguish between "real" and AI-generated art today. We're only seeing the first generation of AIs right now with the tech such as Midjourney, DALL-E 2, Imagen and Parti. I think it's pretty presumptuous to assume this trajectory would not continue to the point where most people would have a hard time identifying AI-generated images from real ones.

My work is in this area and I absolutely foresee some industries/arts getting decimated by the upcoming research in these topics - however, it's pretty hard to put the genie back in the bottle at this stage.
> Sure, you'll probably end up facilitating a few petabytes of copyright infringing torrent traffic every day, but you'll also have a direct connection to countless people who think they're totally anonymous.

This is the best part really. No three letter agency is going to spoil their honeypot in order to bust some kid for downloading movies and video games. They've got bigger fish to fry. The more successful they are at keeping their users safe from the copyright goons the more popular and "trustworthy" their little honeypot will seem. Your downloads will still probably earn you another black mark in your dossier, one more thing they could use against you if you ever became a problem for them, but still, free movies, music, and games! Might as well make oppression work for you.

You and I must have very different ideas of what pain in the butt is. I consider a 5-min install for a handoff a long time. With for non isofixed infant seats, you could replace a seat in less than 30 seconds. Regardless, I love my babies so no amount of time spent on them is too high a cost to bear.
that is not the statement. they say C++ sucks because init pattern means an unititialized object might be used. the factory pattern solves that
Is the point of React Native to use native GUI elements and not to emulate the platform look and feel?

A few years ago I worked on Java application using SWT. It looked very OK on Linux/Mac/Windows. Even original AWT in Java was cross-platform an native. The problem with Java was GC pauses, but this is a solved problem now.

There is a subtle translucency effect applied to the top bar that picks up and scatters the large svg’s behind it. I haven’t seen how it’s implemented, but it might not be performant on all web engines.
When your company is making billions of dollars a year from mobile apps it makes sense to have native teams. React Native is for development efforts with fewer resources.

> Traffic will expand like a gas to meet the available capacity

Yes, but now the roads carry more people. You can't fix congestion, but you can make it so the roads can sustain the local population, even if they're traveling at 20mph during rush hour.

> bike lanes

Sure, but when's someone going to make an ebike that can carry lots of groceries? Or really anything more than 1 large bag. Even a Trader Joe's run for only myself is 4-5 bags, and those portions are small compared to Costco.

Also, bike theft is a huge problem. And coincidentally the places with the best transit and bike lane buildouts have the worst policies towards property theft.

> subways/light rail/monorail, and investing in transit

Until disruptive people are banned from transit (so everything doesn't smell like piss and weed) and light rail is permitted to go faster than cars by NIMBYs, transit will never be an appealing option vs. cars. BART travels at 20mph next to 65 mph freeways sometimes.

I'm all for transit and bikes if these problems can be fixed. But they are political problems, not engineering ones. So I have little faith they will ever be fixed.
Being able to CMD+c to copy things in a terminal is one of my favorite things about programming on a Mac. Ctrl+c to copy everywhere, except the terminal (there it instead is an interrupt) is a major annoyance working in Linux
Yeah these are good points, I guess if the yen never recovers you'd take a hit. The current exchange rate is an outlier though. At least historically, you've had the chance to convert back at between 100-110 JPY:USD every few years.

There are tons of caveats with cost-of-living. But for me personally, I worked for a company HQ'd in Palo Alto from Japan. And I looked into moving. I calculated that I'd need an extra $50k or so on top of my Tokyo salary to maintain the same lifestyle in Silicon Valley.

That's for me though. If you want a car no matter what, or you buy all your food at import markets, or want a huge apartment in the center of town exactly like the one you had in the US, Tokyo gets expensive. International schools for your kids can also get really pricey.

But if you live relatively closely to how locals do, it's cheap as hell. Seriously. The rent for my nice, new 2BR in central Tokyo is ¥190,000 a month. That's $1,416 at the current exchange rate.

The going rate I saw in Silicon Valley for a similar place was around $4k. And you absolutely need a car there, which means gas and insurance too. Here you can get anywhere super quickly via train, and companies pay your commuting costs if you're not WFH. Plus food is WAY cheaper here in my experience (I paid ¥950 for a big lunch today, tax included, no tip. 7 bucks all-in.)

So YMMV but that pretty much covers the $50k for me.
> Imagine for a moment that this study was trying to demonstrate that e.g. climate change was primarily caused by solar variation a la Willie Wei-Hock Soon [1]. And he provided the exact same quality of evidence, and the exact same "issues."

I suspect we don't agree on what the "exact same quality of evidence" would be.

But the prior probability matters, too. A trial where a die looks slightly-biased-towards-6 (with weak significance) after 3 prior trials where it looked strongly-biased-towards-1 (with high significance) doesn't do much to change our mind about the previous findings.

Base rate fallacy, yada yada yada.

This has been exactly my experience. I have use custom email addresses online for at least 13 year and I have (almost) never gotten spam to these addresses. I have no spam filter on my account, so if I received spam email I would know.

There have been a few random incidents. I did get one spam message to my kickstarter email address, presumably because some project I funded did not protect my address. I also once got spam from a reservation I made for brunch at a local jazz club.
The real value (purchasing power) of the money went down in recent decades.

So if nominally 1.6 million looks big in 1980's terms, nowadays it is not so much.
Therefore, if you as a dev are getting 160k, then you are unfairly underpaid.
It wasn’t obvious in retrospect, but I was being completely sarcastic. Anyone holding a managed retirement account or a mutual fund could be held liable.
Nobody did this for Linux on the small subset of Apple-branded macOS-capable x64 machines before, much to my chagrin.

"This street but cleaner and without the graffiti and mess" would be an awesome prompt for an AI. And possibly an essential step for a cleaning bot to even understand the difference between clean and not clean.

Otherwise these things are not connected in any obvious way and humanity has been known to work on many problems at the same time.

The whole point about Berlin (I live there too) is that it isn't Muenich. Muenich has clean streets, high cost of living, and is frankly a bit bland and boring. People are a bit uptight and conservative there. Not a great place for creatives to express themselves. You find a lot more of those in Berlin. And it's a big part of why Berlin is so awesome. Some Berliners, consider former citizens of Muenich gentrifying their formerly their neighborhoods a problem. Especially, when they start whining about how noisy, unclean and messy things are.

Better for results that don't require absolute precision maybe. A nice picture to accompany something else of substance.

But if you want precisely a thing. Then using a generator is unlikely to give it to you. As a tool for inspiration or for supplying foundational material to tweak from there, it could be brilliant.

Instead of fixing fundamental problem, flatpaks/snaps bring the whole new layer of crap and hacks. They try to solve real problem, but the way they do it is like reanimating dead body cells via cancer. But that's not even the worst part.

They can lead eventually to "Microsoft Linux Store". Canonical pushes snaps for a reason and they are partnered with MS. Flatpacks essentially follow the same route and can be embraced, extended and extinguished, and we'll be left with bare kernel+glibc distros and the rest available for 20$ in Steam/MS/you name it store

Ask HN: Row Level Security Extension for SQLite Feasiblity
A recent project has me happily using SQLite but I am missing having Row Level Security (RLS) for my application. I searched around and SQLite has no out-of-the-box or 3rd party ext support for RLS.

I am seeing that 1) we can load extensions into SQLite (see attached URL), and 2) that extensions can create modules with pretty rich functionality. Maybe a virtual table impl with `xFilter` and/or `xNext` fns could help yield the row filtering, plus some custom fns to add some state used during the query to configure the dynamic constraint?

Interesting idea? Plausible?

I also saw someone made some handy golang bindings, which could add a few niceties to writing such an extension (albeit heresy to some, to lodge Go into SQLite :)).
