I was surprised that it was Robin Sloan the author who did this - building an app of that sophistication is no mean feat for someone who’s not a professional.

Maybe you're right and it was "down flagged". It's just because it was so quickly flagged, it could barely last 2 minutes on the front page. In contrast it was constantly upvoted before from other users, before it reached the front page. Why reached it the front page then, just to be immediately flagged?
What is the article even talking about? Earlier in the war, you could clearly see US KC-135 Stratotankers flying from the UK to the Polish/Ukrainian border and then flying along the border.

Now, I guess the USAF isn't flying fuel stations around just for the heck of it - there will be fighter jets or surveillance drones alongside the tankers feeding from them, but with their ADSB transponders switched off.

Same with FORTE10/11 - they just appear on ADSB trackers somewhere over Greece, fly out over the Black Sea and then vanish. Transponders switched off.
I think maybe you've misread the intent.

I do not want to wait for the three fibers to finish. I want the whole process to stop the minute any of them have returned i.e. get me my data as quick as possible no matter its source.

That doesn't strictly make sense. "cf" means "compare". It implies that Godot Engine contributors are different from what is listed in AUTHORS.md.

I know that everyone mistakes "cf" for "see also", so I figured it out. But I really was confused at first.

Steam deck can be a bit of work doing things like getting epic games to run, file transfers, and setting up the controls for games that aren't fully supported.

Elden Ring plays well. I don't plan on using my switch OLED until the next Zelda comes out.

It doesn't really matter what they believe, judicially.

Trump believed he won the election.

The students should also be given actual leadership, so that they can contextualize their concerns, and understand when they're being tits.

Some of them want to be tits, which is fine, so long as they aren't being overly vindictive or violent, being a tit is not illegal in most cases.

That there is no easy way to contextualize all of this is insane.

People seem to take one of 'either side' and can't find where a reasonable landing point is.

It's hard because the 'system' in Academia is judicializing their moral perspective, aka referring to protesters as 'terrorists' off hand is considered 'crime' when really it's 'insensitive and irresponsible'.

I should not be that hard and these schools and unions need to be reformed.

I think by the amount of "what is this" questions in this thread it's pretty clear the messaging is confusing to say the least.

Instagram surely strips the camera metadata from the image served to the viewers, including the time taken. Imagine the outcry if it "leaked" the geolocation of a teenager's bedroom.
I had COVID twice before I had the chance to get vaccinated. I then thought I’d wait for the new vaccine for my busy wedding season that’s starting now.

Too bad it’s just a booster and I’m not eligible to get or because I haven’t gotten the probably essentially useless (for me) original vaccine. As far as I’m aware they didn’t announce the details of this until sometime in August. At this point by the time I got the booster that might provide me some protection the virus will probably have mutated again.

Strongly agree to both points. Any kind of game (video, board, card, whatever) and sports equipment are incredible value for money, in terms of entertainment-hours/dollar, as long as you use them.

And because they demand active involvement, they save you from spending money on other stuff. You can easily shop online on the couch watching TV. Not so much if you're playing a game or a sport.
And they do, at least over here in Europe right now.

I really enjoyed the article. I've several personal apps, and as with home cooked meals, I've a favorite 'home-cooked app' that I iterate on more than others.

Famnom evolved from spreadsheets, to python scripts, to a web-only django app hosted locally, to a web + ios + android client apps. I find it useful daily, and it has a few other regular users (besides my family), though arguably my family are my toughest users :).

Ah, right, "unique tax calculations". I guess thats one of describing it. :)
> He also said that the company was led by executives willing to cover up the platform’s security issues, including by discouraging Zatko from informing its board of directors about them. (Hahn, the Twitter spokesperson, told me that Zatko’s portrayal of the company was “riddled with inconsistencies and inaccuracies, and lacks important context.”)

I'm guessing the missing context is that Twitter's board itself did not want to know (plausible deniability), otherwise they would also become liable for breach of fiduciary duty.
In my layman’s view it’s obviously a balance, like all things. Look at the top athletes - Michael Phelps has more upper body than he does lower. The best UFC fighters often have insane wingspan for their height (and therefore reach for punches). Usain Bolt is not a short man. Certain people are tuned for certain things. Then whether they combine that baseline with total obsession and hard work is up to them.

The mental sphere is where it becomes super vague for me. Did John Von Neumann just study really hard? The anecdotes told about Feigenbaum of Chaos Theory make him sound like a savant among savants. They just kept that childlike curiosity? Doesn’t make any sense to me. It seems they are tuned differently.
I don't think you know Sony.

I think it more a problem of me letting the article dictate the terms of the discussion. Did Microsoft publish my whipping boy Call of Duty? Of course not, one can play CoD on a Playstation just as well, and any undesirable traits of the game lie at the feet of Activision.

It might be more accurate to bitch about Xbox Game Pass and the like, as there seems to be a hard push to just rent your access to games with a monthly payment. Or the acquisition of studios (as TFA makes a point of) so that $COMPANY has exlusive access to $HOT_GAME.

I still wouldn't characterize writing portable code as constantly rewriting code for new CPUs, at least if you're doing it right. (There's a whole historical discussion to be had about how hard it was to write portable software back in the day and the causes of that.)
Once the retail is all gone (and most of it will since it can't compete with online in prices or selection), with the exception of food (which is an experience has it's own limitations) what can the mall offer besides experience/activities? Only a few stores really benefit from hands on, and even the people who do stop into a retail store after an hour at the dance studio, or the gym, or the comedy club will still pull out their phone and check amazon to price check items.

AFAIK, "past" just uses HN algolia search to search for the title of the submission, to make it quick and easy to find previous submissions of the same article. Consider that on HN, it's OK to have duplicate submissions, as long as the content is spaced out sufficiently. Some popular articles have been posted dozens (or more?) of times over the years.
The US government is also harmful outside of the US. Your comments here and above seem to have a tone of "US good, China bad". To be clear, this and the general issue of regulating American online spaces isn't about good vs evil, but about furthering one government's agenda or another's.
Thank you for this. "Trust but verify" never made any sense to me at all. If you have to verify, then there is no trust.

Ensuring that there hasn't been a misunderstanding makes a lot more sense. "Verify" is still a misleading word in that equation, though.

The GFX and sound for the Amiga were great but the 68k CPU was overrated. When you factored in how the memory bus worked, 68k machines didn't perform that much better than the Apple II.

Even Motorola gave up on the 68k line and every computer manufacturer that depended on it such as Apple, Commodore, Atari, Sun Microsystems and many others either scrambled to switch to a new CPU or went out of business.

The computer press of the 1980s tells a compelling story about the rise of the 68k but I've never seen a good account of the fall other than the account of why the BBC Micro didn't use it.

> Who can honestly say that the best possible dev path for them (product/business) is to need Scala devs to do their JS frontend?

The ability to give a developer a feature and have them use the same language, domain model, error handling logic, business logic, serialisation codecs, tooling etc to implement it end-to-end is compelling to me.

And the number of developers who are seriously good at full-stack is far smaller than Scala ones.

The Oldest Restaurant in Kabul (2017)
> No farmer wants this

I want this, my neighbour wants this, his neighbour - who runs an older, pre-proprietary John Deere wants this. Farmers need their tractors to work and anything that helps there is a boon. While ag contractors may run the latest most modern equipment farmers tend to have a few tractors themselves which tend to be a bit older, a bit more run-down than those shiny new JD/MF/NH/Valtra (in Sweden and Finland)/etc. machines. They can still do with some of the nicer parts of the electromagic on those machines.

So... once those JDs go out of support, who knows? There may be a market for an aftermarket control box, one which pulls the machine out of the clutches of the mothership and puts it where it belongs, in the hands of the farmer. I have a proposal, just donate one of those machines to me and I'll rig up such a box. Not that my current 1982 UTB640DTC (a Romanian license-built/copied (it is a bit unclear) Fiat 640 with FWA and a front loader) has given up but still...

So, good servicing is fine if you can afford it but many farmers tend to their own equipment as well in which case the availability of parts and protocol specifications really comes in handy. Mechanical parts - that what used to define a tractor - tend to be readily available but electronics and specifications are a different story.
Forte10/11 has been patrolling with trackers on for all to see. I watch it regularly.
I have a real-life scenario that applies to my business: we employee 50+ freelancers ee pay every month. I dread when it comes time to pay them, because I have to log into multiple bank account and manually send each transfer using clunky web UIs. I am just copy-pasting all this data from a spreadsheet where it's already been verified. If I could automate payments to a sizeable portion of the freelancers, it would save me a lot of time and reduce potential for mistakes during data entry
Twitter stores the IP address associated with every Tweet. If someone posts an illegal tweet (say, criticizing the CCP, or supporting the democracy movement in Hong Kong or Taiwan), the Chinese government could combine the IP information with other information that it collects to identify the individual.
> Aesthetically, at this point descriptive names almost look unprofessional, or at least quickly made.

I think part of this is that in software ecosystems that have been around a long time, the most obvious descriptive name for a package tends to have been chosen by the package that got there first but is now has an API riddled with outdated anti-patterns and whose code hasn't been touched in a decade because eventually everything becomes a breaking change.

The newer package has to pick a weird-but-available name, but has the luxury of rebooting with a cleaner, simpler API and an implementation free of "bugs" that must be kept around in the name of backwards compatibility.

Once you experience enough of those, you subconsciously develop an association that "boring obvious name" equals "crappy API and weird behavior" while "weird random name" signals "nice modern API and coherent semantics". Of course, it's not always true, but humans are voracious pattern matchers and will create an association at the slightest hint of correlation.
I wonder how experienced the author of GEB is with psychedelics, that book always felt fairly trippy to me.
I remember searching around alot about that (it shipped with 7 starter, which was confusing the issue for me) and not being able to run 64bit docker images at the time, so I might have the model wrong. It's been quite a few years though so I might dig it out and check again now that I'm older and smarter.

There still Linux support, yeah, but last time I pulled it out there was enough friction in the apps I was trying to run to just send me back to using more modern hardware.
The Twitter anecdote serves to demonstrates that it's a very visible problem, rather than being some data hidden away in a dark corner of the internet. That is something reasonable to illustrate to a non-technical audience.

You don't want to just jump straight to "ADS-B transmitters" right off the bat when speaking to a non-technical audience, because they have no idea what that means or what the implication is. Leading with "your info could end up on Twitter" provides the foundation for why a non-technical reader should care about the rest of the article.

Every job I've applied for that required any level of physical work had "must be able to lift 50 lbs" as a requirement. It's a little heavier than a step ladder, bags of potatoes, flour, cement and gravel are typically in that range as well. It's not an unreasonable requirement. You typically won't lift them overhead, but floor-to-shoulder is a very common lift.

Absolutely.

And there's a corollary rule of thumb -- anything useful in the meeting will happen in the first 15 minutes. The rest is just time-wasting.
That's my recollection as well. I was in college around that time and my primary way of saving data to move between computers was a Zip drive disk (since all the computers in the labs had one), then a USB flash drive with maybe 32MB of space (worked fine when moving files between Macs - I don't think the PCs had USB ports at the time).

"Cloud storage" was definitely not a common thing at the time.
What rules and regulations? Congress isn't a court. There has been no discovery to show that they are not following rules and regulations.

I've been using Bazel for side projects these days, including small retro game projects for old game consoles. The entry price was high, but it works so well I have a hard time imagining working without it.

For retro game projects, the core of your game might be written in C or C++, which you want cross-compiled. That's easily within reach of stuff like makefiles. But then I start adding a bunch of custom tooling--I want to write tools that process sprites, audio, or 3D models. These days I tend to write those tools in Go. I'm also working with other people, and I want to be able to cross-compile these tools for Windows, even though I'm developing on Linux or macOS.

My Bazel repository will download the ARM toolchain automatically and do everything it needs to build the target. I don't really need to set up my development environment at all--I just need to install Bazel and a C compiler, and Bazel will handle the rest. I don't need to install anything else on my system, and the C compiler is only needed because I'm using protocol buffers (Bazel downloads and compiles protoc automatically).
The real question is: dangerous to whom?

My impression was that military aircraft turned off their transponders all the time, especially during sensitive parts of their missions. You don't have to follow any of the OSINT accounts that post flight info to see posts about how some Global Hawk re-emerged on the trackers, after having gone silent some number of hours ago. Sometimes they keep their transponders on, intentionally, to communicate intent and posture to potential adversaries.
