I think iPhones are relatively homogenous but with Android - it really matters which phone you have (and whether they're running custom apps or closer to stock Android).

So it's unclear when someone says "they feel very similar" without saying what "they" are.
MongoDB no longer uses the AGPL licence.
The money it would have cost to work with Czech government original request ("ensure that water supply for those villages is not lost") is less than the fines levied by court even without adding it late fines.
I feel stupid for ever giving Samsung this much info to begin with. But oh, they had such compelling reasons to do it. Like trading in my old phone to get a deep discount on a new one directly from Samsung, and bypassing all the carrier bullshit! Or locking down all of my devices, so that someone who steals my phone can't factory reset it without supplying my Samsung account credentials!
yes, i was commenting on the base markdown spec by Gruber (since that is the subset that all the supersets have to fit)
Having just done some prototyping with Nix, this list is spot on in enumerating the pain points I hit.

I think most of the docs problems could be solved with the meta-strategy of “deeply understand all the things the Rust ecosystem got right with docs, discovery, and general pedagogical structure, and replicate that”. Actually have a canonical set of docs. Link liberally between packafes and stdlib. Figure out typing so you can get those hints and links in your IDE. Fix the package docs so they actually tell you what functions the packages export, instead of relying on the wiki for instructions. Etc.

Basically, pay a couple excellent docs people for a few years.

I found the language a bit weird but not terrible to learn. But if it’s possible to build some porcelain for common usecases that skips there need to grok the language, that could be quite transformative. I do wonder if the “dev env/packaging” use-case might be simpler than the “run and configure a whole OS” usecase.
Usb-c runs usb 2.0 just fine! And yet we still have companies trying to make bad USBv(n+2)
So stop mining damn coal!!! You didn't answer the damn question - how it looks like when German and Czech coal mines keep mining without any issues? Please, explain me this. Germans keep restoring coal mines because of lack of gas and you damn say that's there is some opinion? I've lived more than 18 years less than kilometer to the czech border and my father had to install the early warning system on the river flowing from Czech side because it was being constantly polluted. https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C4%9Bl%C3%A1_(p%C5%99%C3%ADt...

So please anwer the damn question and stop saying idiotic statements until you answer it.
No, V1 of the USB versioning scheme has been deprecated for several versioning scheme versions now.
Ask HN: Samsung Data Leak
I received the following from Samsung. AFAIK I’ve never owner anything made by Samsung or used any services they own. Anyone have an idea what division this came from? Their security response center wasn’t particularly helpful.

“Dear Valued Customer,

At Samsung, security is a top priority. We are reaching out to inform you that Samsung recently discovered a cybersecurity incident that affected some of your information.

In late July 2022, an unauthorized third party acquired information from some of Samsung's U.S. systems. On or around August 4, 2022, we determined through our ongoing investigation that personal information of certain customers was affected.

We have taken actions to secure the affected systems, and have engaged a leading outside cybersecurity firm and are coordinating with law enforcement. We want to assure our customers that the issue did not impact Social Security numbers or credit and debit card numbers, but in some cases, may have affected information such as name, contact and demographic information, date of birth, and product registration information. The information affected for each relevant customer may vary.

At Samsung, we value the trust our customers place in our products and services ‑ trust that we have built up over many years. By working with industry ‑ leading experts, we will further enhance the security of our systems ‑ and your personal information ‑ and work to maintain the trust you have put into the Samsung brand for more than 40 years.

We regret any inconvenience this may cause you and appreciate your trust in us. We have set up an FAQ page on our website for additional questions and answers along with recommended actions.

If you'd like to check your credit report, you are entitled under U.S. law to one free credit report annually from each of the three major nationwide credit reporting agencies. More information can be found below.

If you have any questions regarding this issue, please visit our website at www.samsung.com/us/support/securityresponsecenter.”
It's all a distraction from other topics
I think the process you're describing is a lot more targeted and. methodical than the vague question of "what business should I start?"

The person who comes forward with prompts like "I'm a full stack developer, what problems do you think I could solve with software?" or "I work in hospitality, what's on your wish list for when you go out to eat/stay at a hotel?" that's going to produce a lot more useful feedback.

When one asks "what business should I start? I want to quit my job" it comes across to me as "Work bad, how do I plant a money tree in my backyard?"
I fully agree with you on Cannabis, but I don't think that's an argument for restricting opioid pills. I think we can and should make Cannabis widely available, and should absolutely encourage people to give it a try first, but if it doesn't work for them I think they should have the option of trying the pills.
So it's basically a Generac? I know that those are mostly for backup, but my understanding that they are perfectly viable for longer term use. (though they would need occasional maintenance)
Using Virtual Machines as capability based security is something I've come to accept.

Windows and Linux are vulnerable to the confused deputy problem, so you separate your concerns into separate VMs and give each "machine" a set of resources (capabilities)

IBM and Digital machines have done this since the 1960s.
So the kernel should change and world should compromise security because a few people can’t figure out how to change defaults?

I think there’s a few other security gaps, like pre-service start socket locking etc that you also haven’t considered.
Did some napkin math for fun. There are 12 contacts spaced within 6mm inside a USB-C cable, on each side. Assuming each contact is 0.25mm wide with a 0.25mm gap between each, it would only take somewhere around 1000V to simply arc through the air between contacts. And anything over 5 amps is going to start causing resistive heating simply due to how small and thin the wires and contacts are. So maybe, if you built it and tuned it really well, you could push up to around 5kW through a USB-C, with it being on the brink of shorting itself out and/or melting itself.
Watch the video with subtitles on - he explains everything he's doing and why he's doing it.
I am surprised by all the anti-ORM comments. When you use an ORM, you need to both know SQL and the ORM. Your investment in learning an ORM is not wasted and you can carry that knowledge over from project to project.

If you know both the ORM and SQL well, you can save a lot of time during development. I've been using NHibernate for over 10 years and now also getting into Entity Framework Core.

I did see bad usage of ORMs and this was always caused by either a lack of SQL and database knowledge, or a lack of knowledge on how ORMs work.
If giving financial incentives to voters is buying voters, they're certainly not the first government that openly buys votes.
>Okay, I see this reality isn't politically correct for you so I'll not push it too much.

You mean this idea that "beggar thy neighbour" is not in someone's self interest? You haven't explained why that is necessarily true. The (very short) wikipedia article you linked also does not talk about "punishing other countries", and in fact is specifically focussed on reducing imports. In the context of our original discussion, we were talking about how Germany is now being screwed by the country it has signed up to gas deals with. How does that fit with your "be nice to everyone" idea?
> manifests in lower wages, less competition, and offshoring

Switzerland has some of the highest taxes and highest wages in the world. Afghanistan has some of the lowest taxes in the world.

Clearly you must consider what you get for your money. Countries without functional police force, court system and IP protection don't tend to be popular with business

Both exist. Nix is a functional language for describing how software is built. Nix is also a package manager of sorts that installs and manages software built with its language. NixOS is an operating system that is described entirely by a nix language configuration file that builds a bootable linux-based OS using nix language packages.
I sympathize with your first point, but I believe only around 10% of tourists visiting Venice sleep there. Off-site tourist hubs are a real thing…
How is it that security is a top priority when the company can’t correctly implement basic encryption?

Samsung shipped so many millions of phones with insecure encryption:

I'd like to politely challenge your assumption that accessibility concerns are relevant only to a "proportionally very small percentage of the population". It's a common myth in this space.

Disabled people represent between 10% and 20% of the world population, and that's not even including those who don't identify as disabled but would nevertheless benefit from more accessible technology. If you've ever adjusted the text size in your browser or enabled captions while watching media, this group includes you.

I dislike that the way nix is onboarded for new folks is nix-env, and then for the next documentation to say: nix-env is bad don't use it.

If it was bad why show it to me at all?
Yeah that was really annoying with an Irish credit and debit card in Albert Heijn (and elsewhere) - though at least there I could usually find some way to give them money.
> the call/return pairs are balanced no matter what.

I don't get that. A function can have multiple returns and a return can return to multiple different places depending on where the function was called from. I don't see how they are "paired" or why that would even be a desirable property?
I read about a Mitsubishi home gas cogeneration system many years ago (10 ish). I think they haven’t taken off because they are expensive, only suitable in certain climates, and significantly less efficient at producing electricity from gas than a recent model combined cycle gas power plant.
Well, I don't really know how to is a reason, but I suppose a surmountable one. The other thing is that I can't guarantee that all my customers' don't employ people outside the US.
>>I wouldn't directly subsidize it though, that would become bigger shackles than work provided health care.

Correct, factory towns worked out great for the factory owners - not so much for the people that worked there.

Having a good supply of affordable housing nearby any facility that needs to hire a lot of low to middle paying people is probably a good thing, but letting the company run and control it will inevitably lead to abuses imo.
> Since you'd already installed it, wouldn't trying it in some capacity before uninstalling it have made sense?

Fair observation. I installed nix as a prerequisite for DevBox, discussed here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32600821 . I thought DevBox sounded really cool (and still do!), but the Quickstart took frustratingly long, and ended up not working. Faced with the prospect of debugging it, I opted to cut my losses and uninstall it instead.

That said I'm very much open to trying nix again in the future. Also I want to acknowledge how much effort went into getting /nix to work on the Mac; it appears that was a heavy lift indeed.
A company using basic ecomomic principles is garbage?

So LTT overcharging for it's smaller water bottles vs big is good? But if a company were to discount small water bottles, and raise the price of bigger, they are garbage?

wow.
No, but the initial steps were the hardest, they started the ball rolling. It was the initial early steps showed that the Zionist project in Palestine was viable. Then around WWI jews and arabs started to flock to Palestine.
His blog will usually tell you how long he actually worked on things. Some of them are surprisingly fast. But he is also probably not posting all of his failures.

I don't know exactly what volumio are doing. But librespot itself does currently still work. Who knows for how long (I doubt Spotify themselves know what they are doing). Librespot is transitioning to the new API, that API has already been implemented by other ports e.g. Librespot-java (and psst). It's not a pure Web API. It's a messy mix.
Dumb question: what is stopping us from creating TCP/IP over USB4v2 so that I can create a home network (LAN) of 120Gbps?
Permaculture has nothing to do with tons of plastic nor gravel filling the river bottom.

Permaculture is: the development of agricultural ecosystems intended to be sustainable and self-sufficient.

I presume GP meant that by having more persistent vegetation in the area, that vegitation would do vegetation things and help with flood control.
Crazy to think we might actually kill the soil. Imagine a place like mars, because of the soil dies so will everything else.

there are ways to deal with that of course, but it's kinda unavoidably more complex.
Just to be clear, I make no value judgement about Asian cultural norms w/r/t chip manufacturing, my comment is merely meant to suggest the employment experience probably will be adjusted to fit American cultural mores, so the concern that few Americans would want these jobs isn’t entirely fair.

I am entirely unqualified to judge cultural advantages/disadvantages in the manufacturing industry.
There's some speculation that a collapse of civilization at our current point would be difficult to undo, as we've mined a whole bunch of the easily accessible stuff and have to delve miles underground or sift through megatons of ore for the rest.

Even if HN mostly consists of people engaged in building or maintaining technology, technology is in every industry, so the discussion can credibly touch nearly every topic with some interesting depth.
> Grandparent commentor has some odd notions about what constitutes a legitimate versus illegitimate narrative device, and what constitutes “dramatic sense of danger.”

Feels... weirdly aggressive for no reason. It's a great moment, but it's not a plot focused one. It has no consequences nor any particular proposition of consequences. In real life, yes, floods are dangerous. In real life a flood would be a significant life event. But that's not the character of this scene. The best shot of the film, and personally I think he best shot I've ever seen period, is of the daughter just smoking on the toilet while it overflows with sewage during the flood. She's not afraid, in fact, she's pretty apathetic to it all.

Water is a recurring motif in the film. The rich people stay dry. The water flows down to the poor who get soaked. The fact that people have actually died from this kind of flooding is tragic, but it shouldn't redefine how one interprets the scene. The family narrowly avoids a complete disaster and this is just a brutal reminder that their lives still suck.

The spectrum of cables is not really that wide. The problem is that almost none of them are labeled.
Yes, that's the trick. And making sure those boundaries are enforced consistently (if mom says no ask dad, &c).

I certainly did my fair share of independent acting out in my teen years (the car example is right on the nose for me) but we've got a lot of groundwork to lay before we get to that point. As far as I can tell the next target is learning how to use a doorknob, which will bring its own set of challenges.

I'm not here to "be correct about somebody's particular definition of words," I'm here to try to get people to make better decisions and actions in the world.

It is absolutely the case that the definition you are using can serve as a technically correct one. But that's not very important. What is important is that real people are being harmed by exploitative technology, and you handwaving that away as if it should be a dismissable part of the conversation is you doing a bad thing.

One observation I definitely can't help but make is that everyone seems to be leaning on to a rather large/high-res single monitor than juggle around 2 WQHD/FHD displays :)
I definitely had more trouble focusing when I had 2 equi-resolution screens rather than 1 large and 1 small screen OR rather 1 large screen in clamshell mode.
I’m not moving anything. I’m expanding my argument. Not only are their tactics ineffective but their goals are an exercise in absurdity.

As for Rosa Parks, do you really not see the difference between gluing yourself to priceless art in the Louvre and deliberately flouting a specific law meant to oppress you? You can’t possibly not see the difference here, right? Their cause is not noble, it’s nuts. “Shut everything down by 2025!” is not a reasonable or realistic objective, and gluing yourself to stuff or pouring concrete in golf courses to annoy people just makes you look unserious, which they are. Inasmuch as they become the face of the movement to address climate change - and that seems to be at least an indirect outcome if not an objective - climate advocates will get associated with the stupidity. That hurts the overall movement away from fossil fuels.
> The most important is that the electricity is generated on site, so there are no losses in transmission.

People really overestimate transmission losses. They averaged only 5% in the US between 2016 and 2020. [1]

I believe if you wanted to run a power line from Boston to LA you'd only lose about 25%.

What strange timing--I was writing a bit about the Drake equation this morning:

https://superbowl.substack.com/p/digging-into-the-drake-equa...

As an early teen I was fascinated by the fact that someone had seriously attempted to quantify this. It made me wonder, what _can't_ math do? Turns out, quite a bit. But it's a really fun exercise.

The Base-T Ethernet standards get very creative about their modulation levels. 1GBase-T (IIRC) uses PAM-5. Using non-standard PAM levels is a very weird thing to do, and it appears to only be useful for optimizing speeds on old (or cheap) cables.

However, PAM-4 did originally have problems with transitions between the extreme levels (00 to 11 and vice versa). There was academic discussion of line codes that could eliminate these, but it appears that this kind of technology has fallen by the wayside in favor of PAM-3 for USB.

Wow, this comment is a sight for Soras
I think it's only a matter of they renaming every model every time the standard is updated. So models come with $standard_version $standard_revision $main_model_version $minor_model_version, and there are different sets of all of those numbers that refer to the same thing.

Or maybe they have another naming schema orthogonal to that that I don't know about.
People buy USB2 cables all the time, and they're usually correctly labeled too.
It's an equation. The individual components of the equation are speculative, and their values are estimates.
