On a related note, litigation has increased. If you do express an opinion that isn't supported by pop culture then you are threatened with serious economic impacts and civil action to a greater extent than what I remember pre-internet.

Then again, less people knew you held some alternative view back then. Nowadays it's popular to shout across all the media so everyone in the US knows about that kooky view the old guy in Montana has or that violent group in the middle east holds.
This doesn’t make sense. You can build this feature into a web app. It just isn’t often worth it when items aren’t in deterministic order, you’d have to track the hundreds of items the user has already scrolled, and the user doesn’t really care if they start over.

There’s nothing magical about this that a “real app framework” gives you.
The thought is somewhat inchoate still. I'm working with a pure functional language (Joy https://joypy.osdn.io/ ) and when it came time to add filesystem support I balked. Instead, I'm trying out immutable 3-tuples of (hash, offset, length) to identify sequences of bytes (for now the "backing store" is just a git repo.) Like I said, it's early days but so far it's very interesting and useful.

I get what you're saying about modern filesystems, and I agree. I guess from that POV I'm saying we could stand to remove some of the layers of abstraction?

I had that, too. I wish companies still had someone to take care of it, but that went out the door along with all the other employees that existed to provide services for ordinary workers. No office manager, no secretary, no administrative assistant. Work says you have to travel? Prepare to spend half a day booking your own flights, accommodations, etc. Unless you do it all the time, even with the online tools we have now, it's just a pain.
> 50 years ago, you didn't see corporations able to effectively silence people as much as you do now.

50 years ago nearly all broad platforms for spreading ideas were owned by corporations run by very few individual people. Lacking a platform was the default, the vast majority of people were "silenced" in the sense meant by the modern "free speech" (really compulsory association) movememt.
In terms of actual exposure to ideas from others, I think free speech today has probably never been greater. That is what is causing the backlash.
Then build a town square that is publicly owned, we as society decided to wave our hands of the responsibility of making a publicly owned the internet for the convenience of allowing big tech do it for us. The solution is not force private companies to host speech. It either create a publicly owned town square on the internet or collectively stop valuing/using these platforms so much.

Bullied, trolled - Tell them to get over it.

Harassed - online, tell them to get over it. In person (i.e. someone is actually harassing you in real life), call the police because we already have laws against that.

Doxxed - If someone posts actual protected information, then sue them if you can. If someone just posts public information, then I don't see what the issue is.

Revenge-porned - If someone makes secret recordings of someone without their permission in a situation where that person would reasonably expect privacy, then that should be a crime. If someone makes a sex tape with someone willingly and hands ownership/control of said tape to that person, then you should have to live with the consequences of your actions. Don't make sex tapes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

When I started, Qt required a preprocessor (moc) for the build process. Gtkmm did not do, and use libsigc++. This seemed like a clear sign to me that it was technically superior.

22+ years later I would say that both Qt and Gtkmm have their own pros and cons. They have both run into pretty deep issues with integrating their own drawing model into the windows, macOS and X11 models. They both provide things that the other does not.

At this point, I don't see one as better than the other, and for a long established application like mine, the idea of switching is essentially unthinkable.
Of you want to generalize a medel you need smaller batch sizes with more varied nature. Maybe that applies somehow to people?
Interesting points. I have a few responses.

I think you might be slightly underrating the internal stability of democratic institutions. Nascent democracies like the Weimar Republic are vulnerable to the "vote to become authoritarian" failure mode (though even the Weimar Republic "voted to become authoritarian" via the dubious mechanism of a minority government and a political culture where every major party engaged in street violence), but a well-established democracy has a fair amount of internal stability. France, for instance, has successfully reestablished democracy even after foreign conquest and the military coup of 1958. The US and UK have been even more stable.

> Thus, by installing an authoritarian government in a place that used to be democratic, we condemned them to likely stay authoritarian until EXTERNAL factors are able to force things otherwise. And that is outside of the population's control and could go on for a very long time. Especially if the ruling elite have some accomodation with the global system that allows them to avoid the competition you speak of, like an unspoken deal to keep fossil fuels flowing in exchange for being left alone.

I assume you're talking about Iran again here. Iran's democracy was already in the midst of an internal collapse towards authoritarianism even before the coup, though. Mossadegh suspended Parliament and invoked emergency powers in the face of internal opposition. Even the coup itself arguably had more internal than external causes (see: https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/middle-east/2014-06-... as archived at https://archive.ph/wdEy8).

But if you look at things more broadly, there are examples of authoritarian regimes giving way to democracies for largely internal causes, in countries such as Chile, Argentina, Spain, Portugal, and South Korea. So there's some evidence for democracy also being a stable attractor, though this is far from universal if you look at countries like Russia, Afghanistan, or most of the Arab world.

I think that would be cool for users that want security and don't want the new features or new design.. But it'll be used as an excuse for certain apps to not keep their up to date with the newest APIs.

As for the company, they often use the OS version to drive more sales. The new OS almost always requires a little bit more performant hardware. The older the phone, the slower it gets with the newer OS.

The benefits scandal was caused by some overzealousness on the part of the tax authorities in response to the Bulgar fraud. Not really a case of lack of integrity just people trying to do their job and making a mistake. mistakes like that will continue to happen, the government should have been more clear about that.

The pm did not enter the offensive lines of code into the system and I do not know to which extent, if any, he is to blame for any of it.

There will always be some tension between fraud detection and personal rights. The fact that a court rules against a system is proof that regulatory oversight is very much alive.
> (And yes, I did read up on the terms. His criticism is still vague and does not seem rooted in actual experience as a programmer, teacher or programming language designer.)

This being precisely why I found it to be a fresh and interesting viewpoint; I've heard a lot from programmers and language designers on this topic, I hadn't heard from linguists before. I found their use of different tools of thought than I had seen applied to this area intriguing and it made me see things in a different way; you seem to have interpreted this as "using the wrong tools" because they weren't the ones you were used to. This is exactly what I was saying; you're limiting the conversation to an insular set of perspectives.

You've bought my premise about what you're saying, and in lieu of justification you've provided some cheap insults. I'm glad we understand each other.
Ultra takes the advertised battery life to 36 hours, or 60 hours (utilizing a power saving mode). That’s about double what you could expect from Series 7.
Completely agree with this, OpenCascade is just not a good enough foundation to build a CAD package at the same level as SolidWorks or Fusion360. The unfortunate thing is that the level of investment to build a kernel of that quality is in the 10s or millions dollars. Without a corporate backer who wants it, it won't happen.

The only way I could see it happening is if a consortium of large companies decided that they wanted to drop the big players and build an open source one. It needs a visionary in the position to decide to do it.

I can't thinking that the struggles of an experienced Fusion 360 user such as yourself would be a very valuable thing to contribute to the FreeCAD project.

It's only a few years since we used to hear regular reports of people really struggling with the Blender UI too. It's great to see the improvements to Blender now paying off.

I think there's a fairly good chance that the devs aren't aware of all the rough edges or quirky choices in the same way that a power user of another CAD system would be.

(My own personal CAD experience is so dated at this point as to be pretty useless. I learnt on Unigraphics on a Sun workstation way back in the mists of time but have forget almost everything about it.)

I have not heard any group calling for free speech to be blocked. Who is calling for people to be arrested for what they say? Or to be blocked from being able to say it out loud?

I think what you mean is that people are calling for internet platforms to kick out certain groups. This is in no way a call against freedom of speech.

I am not sure why people suddenly believe that being for 'free speech' means that other people have to provide private infrastructure for those people to spread their speech.

Did people complain that newspapers wouldn't allow the KKK to print opinion essays whenever they wanted? Did they get upset when a convention hall wouldn't let certain groups rent out their space?

Free Speech was never about requiring private citizens to provide a platform for any speech someone wanted to make. It is about not using the law to stop the speech. That belief is still strong in the United States.

I don't currently know the specifics of the standards, but often key migration means signing and publicly announcing a new device's hardware public key and optionally revoking an older device's hardware public key. The private keys themselves might never leave the hardware secure enclaves (and/or other key escrow services) to do the dance of updating a keychain of public key signatures. The big "advances" in the standards over the last few years have been about moving away from the "classic" PGP/CA style PKI assumption that a user is represented by a single strong key and a hierarchy of owned subkeys and more that a user is represented by a keychain of N keys many more roughly "peers" than hierarchical and in something of a web of trust with each other where N is at least the number of devices the user owns and regularly uses, and often much more than that with various key escrow strategies. I believe the "PassKey" approach uses an escrowed sub-key per-website in many cases so the keychain gets conceptually huge. (Escrowed here is that it is a derived key using data available to some quorum of physical device keys. You can rederive escrowed keys, but you can't export physical device keys that made the escrow data in the first place. You should be able to add new device keys that can share in a quorum to get at that data, but it's a migration dance.)

To my knowledge Keybase's breakdowns of how their keychain worked, including subkey escrow and key exchanges are still some of the easiest to read on the subject of how the math works, though I don't think Keybase's "standards" entirely resemble some of the details of the final standards from FIDO, but again I also don't know enough of the specifics of FIDO's standards as I'd like.

No, its not. For example, I use an open source app called fd:

The 2nd vid I downloaded. 18.5 meg. A transcription would be maybe 2K? And I could read it at my own speed instead of having to skip back when it covered things too fast, and there could be URLs to useful stuff like papers and wiki pages (like, perhaps, to Eytzinger Binary Search which I'd never heard of).

The video added precisely nothing to a text transcript and wasted an incredible factor for bandwidth. Just.. why?

> Note, for example, the way that Kiwi Farms was waving the free speech banner. You'll see the same thing being done by people who advocate for exterminating Jews and returning Black people to slavery.

You fight bad ideas with better ideas. The ACLU used to champion free speech in precisely this way before the internet, as they fought for the rights of Nazis to hold marches.

For Kiwi Farms specifically, this is a law enforcement failure. If speech transitions into real world action that's what the police are there for. Speech by itself is not really problematic, actions are. I think the past few years have shown that law enforcement is a dismal failure at the moment (Uvalde, George Floyd, etc.), but that's not a justification to restrict speech, that's a justification for justice reform.

> In practice, a platform like Twitter has to choose between hosting abusive Nazis and hosting the people who the Nazis would try to drive off the platform.

That's a false choice.

> The proposals called for CIA operatives to both stage and actually commit acts of terrorism against American military and civilian targets, blaming them on the Cuban government, and using it to justify a war against Cuba. The possibilities detailed in the document included the remote control of civilian aircraft which would be secretly a repainted US Air Force plane,[2] the possible assassination of Cuban immigrants, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas,[3] blowing up a U.S. ship, and orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities.[2] The proposals were rejected by President John F. Kennedy.
Over the years, my family has had a mix of iOS and Android devices and even though the Android device was generally less expensive up front, the iOS device ended up being less expensive overall because after a few years the resale value was still pretty good. Generally, they all were decent devices.

All of your points about installing software outside of the app store are valid and if that's what you need, iOS is not for you and I think that's okay. Choosing the platform that best supports the software you need to run has always been how you decide what to buy. The other way around doesn't make any sense. It would be like buying an PS5 and then saying it sucks because you can't run Excel on it.
Doesn't even have to be an international power imbalance, a municipal one is sufficient.

Notice how the federal secret police is attacked in this thread, but as soon as I turn the conversation to the abuses of local police, HN consensus turns against me. People in the upper-middle class are afraid of the former, but have far less issue with brutality from the latter. The power imbalance it maintains is largely comfortable for us.

I find it quite hypocritical, but that's also not something that democracy makes any guarantees about.

My guess is that you can't point to a single example of a library written in ObjC that has any other language bindings, and if you can, it is barely used by anyone. The GTK community always made the idea of language bindings a central part of their development ethos.
