Lots of comments in this thread have been expressing negative opinions. The only issue is that such comments need to remain within the site guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). Those rules don't get suspended when people feel strongly for legitimate reasons—if we did that, we might as well not have the rules at all.

It's true that there's an asymmetry in that it's much easier for the people making positive comments not to break the site guidelines. In a way that's not fair—but it applies to all threads equally, regardless of whether the topic is monarchy or something else. It's also an unfairness we can't do much about—it's intrinsic to the problem of how to operate this forum.

We do try to make special allowances for negative comments that break the site guidelines but also include enough information to explain why the person feels the way they do, in a way other commenters can learn from. I did that in a few cases in this thread. What we don't make special allowances for is garden-variety flamewar, which there was also a ton of in this thread.

If you see comments that did not break the site guidelines but were moderated anyhow, that's bad and I'd like to see links so we can correct our mistakes (or, in the case of user flags, user mistakes). Mistakes are inevitable when trying to moderate threads with 1500 comments or whatever; moderation is guesswork, and hasty guesswork at that. But we're always willing to take a second look, and when we do see a mistake, to acknowledge it and fix it.
But can the private key be exported or can I login only with the help from my Apple™ iPhone? What they describe isn't interoperability, it is 2FA using a phone. Interoperability means they implement a standard and I could migrate my key to an android phone. Is it the case?
Combining characters have their issues (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zalgo_text), but making string reversal trickier isn’t one of them. “Reversing” is an extremely atypical thing to do with text. I think only programming exercises and palindrome searchers do it. Why would your data structure make that easy to do?

For Unicode, a “design from scratch” design would remove duplicate legacy code points. Why have “é” both as a single code point and as ”e” plus a combining character?

It also wouldn’t have any of the deprecated characters (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_character_property#Dep...)

I also would remove the few special flag code points (https://home.unicode.org/the-past-and-future-of-flag-emoji/)

If “design from scratch” also means “drop the goal of encompassing old character encodings”, more code points probably could go. Why are DOS box characters in Unicode, while Atari/PET, etc, ones aren’t, for example?

Finally, I would look into making it easier to retrieve character class from a code point (the ‘these code points are digits, these are combining marks, etc’ tables are a bit of a wart, and getting rid of them could be useful in small embedded devices).

I doubt a solution exists there that is future proof agains extension of Unicode and doesn’t blow up memory use, though, and am not sure any embedded devices too small to host those tables actually could use that info.
Using "limited resources" while talking about Apple is surely a joke, right?

I've been freelancing for a studio over the past month and I've personally seen them using Midjourney and SD for multiple projects. Surely ten million other people doing the same thing is going to have some sort of effect.
It's the same in Europe. With prime you used to get most items the day after order, rarely two days after ordering. Now it's at least 2 days for most items, many even only arrive 3-4 days after ordering. And that's even if you're close to a major distribution center.

You should try Primal Kitchen ketchup. No added sugar but somehow still a bit sweet, probably from the tomatoes. If it's all I eat then I don't notice a difference, but if tried side by side with Heinz, Heinz tastes like sugar paste.

> dragged the monarchy and the rest of the UK's system of government through a major public scandal, and caused serious damage to the royal family.

The damage in both cases were mainly to their pride. If that was all she risked, I'm not impressed. Her uncle Edward was a literal Nazi, and yet even he was willing to give up power to marry the woman he loved.

But it could of course be that she risked more than that. What keeps elderly rulers clinging to power is often the knowledge that they and their close ones has done some very bad things, and that the descent may not be so graceful if they let go willingly.
Nice work! There's no filter for hot-swap sockets and none for the various types of light, though.
Maybe also add firmware options?

Not that I need all that from your site, it's just an idea for improvement.
"but why wouldn't you consider that a core part of your business worth investing into"

Yes, that's true, and every organization of any size (one sufficiently large enough to implement SAP) will have experts in those domains. The problem is that implementing them in software is a large task - definitely not impossible, or even extremely difficult (it's just CRUD on a grand scale), but you need software that can change quickly when new legislation is implemented, etc. Painful, and the reason why so many do implement a COTS ERP. Hell, even Google run SAP S/4HANA these days (they migrated off Oracle ERP AFAIK).
That would make it impossible to login to anything personal through a locked down device, like a corporate computer.

I like the SQRL approach better where the QR code you scan is a url that the phone will connect to directly to do challenge response. That works with any existing browser and computer, whatever the OS or level of locking.

[edit] reading other comments, I realised it is necessary to prevent a mitm attack, the iphone needs to have a way somehow to verify the domain from which the QR code has been served.

What the hell are you talking about? This mindset is not remotely "mainstream". I've never once in my life heard anyone talk about Ireland as if it's a place that the UK still owns or feels entitled to.

> The way Ireland was publicly handled after 2016

Do you mean Northern Ireland? Northern Ireland is a different country from Ireland, and as far as I'm aware the reason it's still part of the UK is because a solid majority of its citizens want to be part of the UK, not because it's been imposed on them from outside.

Google urges open source community to fuzz test code
> This pattern can be used to serve uploaded files stored in a non-public location, after the backend authenticated the request etc.

That's a perfectly valid use case!

Packaging a front end application (e.g. React/Angular/Vue) inside of a .jar file and making Tomcat or something else serve it, as a part of a larger Java application, though? Perhaps less of an optimal solution than just using Apache/Nginx/Caddy for it, outside of really wanting to be able to deploy everything as a single package.
> then the authentication token they send to the real google will have the correct signature, but the wrong domain name.

So a domain hijacking attack is the only possibility? (and made drastically harder for serious websites with Certificate pinning)
The narrative about Musk being some genius exploiter of subsidies playing 4D chess with all kinds of financial and marketing trickery is total nonsense if you actually look into it.

In terms of subsidies, Tesla wasn't actually subsidies that much. The received a 400M loan from the DoD for advanced vehicle manufacture. At that point however, even without the DoD they could have raised that money. Tesla payed that lone back early and with interest. DoD also gave much larger loans to GM and Ford, neither have fully paid back their loan yet.

The tax subsidies only started years later and Tesla profited from the 7500k tax credit. However this was limited to 250k vehicles and Tesla blew threw that very fast and have since operated without a tax credit and had to compete against vehicles coming in from all the global car companies that all got this tax credit. GM also used that tax credit. So did Tesla get a subsidy that helped them, I would say yes but this was open to all car companies and a number of them took advantage of it.

Tesla also gets the same tax reductions as any large company that makes large investments in particular regions.

> My impression is that Tesla succeeded thanks to Musks personality that made the customers forgive unfulfilled promises that they paid thousands of dollars for.

Not sure what this is based off. You don't build a company the size of Tesla based on forgiving costumers.

Yes, sure some costumers waited a while for their model 3 because of production issues, but this isn't really unique to Tesla. Car production often gets delayed. And costumers did not 'forgive' this universally, many canceled their order and bought something else.

But here is the thing, the demand for Tesla electric cars was so high that it didn't matter.

Tesla was successful because they had a product that a huge amount of people desperately wanted, and after some initial delay they got it to those costumers in very large numbers with very good unit margin.

In fact, Tesla often increased the spec of the delivered product compared to the one that was initially ordered.

And the money from reservation undelivered vehicle and FSD is certainty not why Tesla is successful.

Tesla is successful because they sell a 1 million+ vehicles a year with an automotive margin of 30%.

> I mean, Tesla still delivered stuff that people value. Just not the promised ones.

Can you explain what you mean? What did they not deliver on?

Some people (a minority of costumers) didn't get the FSD but that certainly not most costumers.
This was in the case study linked elsewhere:

> Lidl based its inventory management system on purchase prices. The standard SAP for retail software uses retail prices, and fearing the group could lose a competitive edge by compromising, Lidl declined to change, so the software was instead adapted.

No, as in the article mentioned, there is so much configuration that you can do. It has it's own programming language, and nowadays a lot is processed in the backend. It helps a lot when implementing new things on top. It provides for you already an entity model, and you can easily add your own tables (which most customers do). Migration to a new schema is my favorite part that I miss when I develop in other systems. For everything there is a tool that grew many years and is really battle tested.
> Now, fast, mobile 0.99$ release and rake in those dollars.

Obviously, a free, ad-laden mobile games with cooldown lock in-between the button press is the way to go. Skip the cooldown by buying some credits / coins / gems. Also, sell some button skins for more profits.

No. Many bignum libraries store numbers as sequences (or linked lists) of "digits", where each digit is an 8 to 256-bit binary number. Which is why I'm skeptical of lifthrasiir's claim that a bignum cannot be parsed in O(n) since it is analogous to initializing a list.
I think this case is a pretty clear example of why.

The regulators are supposed to be protecting who from what exactly? And at whose expense?

So far I've seen two lines of reasoning:

1) Regulators are needed to protect me from myself. I can't assess if these dog-coins have long-term investment potential or not, so I want the government in the loop somehow. If I can purchase something on the internet, I assume it's safe, or the government wouldn't let it be sold.

2) Regulators need to protect the government from the effects of money laundering. I must give up privacy for the greater good, as the money laundered by North Korean hackers will be used against my country. Giving up all privacy in exchange for a small reduction in the funding of our enemies is always a good trade.

Even if I buy one of these arguments wholeheartedly, the practical matter is that we're trying to prevent math from being done here, and it's just not going to work. It's sort of like preventing piracy.

But public sentiment has become very anti-crypto, so I suspect we'll land in a war-on-drugs type situation where the crypto never really goes away and you can still transact it anonymously, but we mostly just don't talk about it except for the occasional bust to ensure more enforcement budget next year.
I've known one place that did bend SAP to their will, and they were stuck on a soon to lose support version despite having almost 100 SAP developers on staff (almost half their entire IT)
> Why is SAP still in business?

Very hard to throw/replace ERP. It might happen but it‘ll take decades for global SAP installed base to shrink seriously.

> Is it solely customer misinformation?

SAP (and other „enterprise sales“ players) sold to CIO with „account relationships“. Then software is shoved down the throat of business users.

Galène Videoconference Server
Friend of a friend works the satellite trucks for onsite broadcasting at sports events. He told me once that he phones the satellite operators and they coordinate to make sure the beams are aligned as tightly as possible to reduce the power loading on the satellite. I’m guessing there’s probably a similar constraint here — I don’t think (pure conjecture) it’s feasible to have a tonne of iPhones (and let’s be honest, they’re everywhere) hanging off satellites.
oh, really? it translates to "super cock sucker" :D
TIL.

In Russia "tomato sauce" is basically anything that has tomatos. But at the same time we have mostly sauses from Georgian, Turkish, Armenian etc causine. They have all kinds of spices (and often vegetables).

Ketchup is usually something far poorer in ingredients.
One of my many mistakes: SAP wanted to buy our startup and we didn't sell.
> And that's the root of this whole conversation - she's asking for his help here because she thinks he knows better. So if she's dead set on avoiding getting that advice - Great! She can buy the computer herself. Like a damn grown up...

This approach to helping people is kinda what others are trying to point out is problematic. It's either you do things my way or you get no help at all. A scenario you've probably experience. You're building something technical and run into an issue so you seek help and the people you ask prefer another technical solution and their only response is you should redo everything and do it their way and don't tell you how to achieve your goal using the technical solution you're using. That probably annoyed the hell out of you.
Understanding the need for representative samples is not the same as actually getting representative samples. It's not a problem of scientists being ignorant or lazy or even underfunded. They know what they need, and they simply cannot get it. They try to make do anyway, but the quality of their work still suffers because of these factors which are out of their control.

Not all fields of inquiry are equally tractable to the scientific method, so they should not be treated with equal reverence.
> Second there are times you can't go all in on one shot (lack of resources, risk of death, or simply not knowing which path). You have to chunk your progress.

I believe his philosophy was to ignore those issues (lack of resources, risk of death), because if you start thinking about them, you'll never venture out, but instead spend your whole life preparing.
I mostly agree with you. I think Heart will manage it, doing an short range electric plane is not comparable to a supersonic jet liner. And the short range electric plane has a pretty clear market fit and very little technology risk unlike the supersonic jet.
I tried Veloren and it's definitely more requirement-heavy than Minetest.
So, full disclosure, I worked 4 years in SAP's LinuxLab (ending 16 years ago). I also hated interacting with their interfaces, but I do understand why they exist:

Comparison with hosting your own email is like a dozen orders of magnitude off in complexity. SAP really only makes sense for ginormous corporations, but up in that range, Oracle's ERP is the only real competition. Just the kernel of SAP is on the order of 100 million lines of code, and that's not counting the even more hundreds of millions of lines of business logic.

It'd be more like saying, "I'm going to reinvent email, write all clients, servers, and try to get everyone to adopt it." Except that would still be a few orders of magnitude off.

SAP has modules that handle regulatory issues in virtually every country in the world. There's so much business complexity that's encoded into its systems that it's literally hard for mere mortals to grasp.
- Good point, I'll add a setting in the next update to always show icons.

- Parent / context are in the menu just to keep the design clean. But I understand that's not what everyone wants, so I will add a setting to show these with the other icons, instead of in the menu.

- Prev / next are moved to the "control pad" (pro feature), but my intention is for the free version to support all current HN features, so I will add those back in the next update.

- The permission to firebase is to access the HN API [1] to grab user profile info etc. The other is for the pro upgrade using ExtPay [2]

I have LONG been wanting them to do a low-profile Bluetooth Planck, but “there are no plans”.

I can get a decent conventional, somewhat ergonomic mechanical keyboard with Bluetooth and support for 3 devices for half the price (and actually got a niche gaming keyboard with linear reds for $30 on sale), but all the orthos (or sweeps) I can find are custom builds (although instructions and designs are plentiful and I am handy with a soldering iron and MCUs, sourcing and assembling them is something I am hesitant to do given all the other stuff I want to do with my time…).

That said, the people I know with one of their keyboards are generally happy, although they all point out there have been no major changes or improvements in the past couple of years.

Microsoft has a suite of ERP software – Microsoft Dynamics. They got it by acquiring a bunch of companies – Great Plains, Navision, Solomon, Axapta. Originally on-premise, now they encourage SaaS but some of it is still available on-premise for those who prefer that. Generally focuses on the small-to-medium enterprise sector, although they've been trying to make inroads on larger enterprises; but large enterprises are still dominated by SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, etc.
How much will be taxed each year by that?
You're thinking too concretely. The point of this article isn't to talk specifically about modeling recipes; it's to use the complexity of recipes (something concrete most people know about) as an example of how this "edge case poisoning" affects the system. I'm sure he has specific non-recipe examples in mind, but using those would either have to 1) give you a lot of background knowledge about the system, which wasn't his point 2) possibly reveal privileged information about clients and so on.

So here's a concrete example: the config file / structure for a virtual machine. Your basic VM has a # of cpus, an amount of memory, a virtual disk, and a virtual network card. Oh, but this VM is actually a "service VM" that is providing an emulated device for another VM. And this VM is actually a fast, ephemeral clone of another VM: it has copy-on-write memory and isn't allowed to write to the disk. And this VM is a live-snapshoting clone of a remote VM: it doesn't execute, but just receives memory and disk updates from the remote VM, until the heartbeat is lost, and then continues. Oh, and this VM's disk is actually provided over the network by a SAN. Oh, and...

The result being that if, like 95% of people, you just want to make a plain VM, you have to wade through a massive list of who-knows-what options to make it work. Balancing making it simple for those 95%, while functional for the other 5%, is a challenge.
Presenting this as a choice between using Apple's closed solution or using easy-to-remember passwords is disingenuous. Please don't participate in the discussion if you're going to be this bad faith.

Fun fact. Did you know that his posthumous work has been seriously altered by his editior?

https://mjpbooks.com/blog/the-senseless-tragic-rape-of-charl...

from the article:
In the posthumous collections, Black Sparrow publisher John Martin has made changes to the majority of Bukowski’s poems. Damaging changes that run counter to just about everything Bukowski represented. Wholesale removal of references to drinking, drugs, sex and madness. Changes that completely alter the meaning of the manuscripts. Changes that don’t even begin to make sense. It feels like nothing short of gleeful, unrepentant vandalism and destruction.
