You're technically correct, and I have actually installed things like AltStore on my iPad in the past.

However, I suspect those things exist moreso because Apple would find it too onerous to destroy them. In fact, the JIT compiler thing requires having an active debugger connection from another machine. But they could and would change if they were pressured to: say, by Epic Games deciding to release a Fortnite IPA for sideloading via AltStore. They would absolutely either end free dev certs or ban people who provision other people's code.

"No sideloading" is policy, not capability. If Apple feels like their policy is being violated, they will shrink capability to match.
What annoys me is your continued refusal to acknowledge the unfair lack of recourse available for someone who disagrees with a decision you’ve made, and your flippant attitude around making those decisions when it comes to people you don’t seem to respect.

You’re hiding your behavior behind the mob mentality that punishes dissent, claiming that a shallow dismissal response is valid because the HN mob has attacked with downvotes, so violating your own policies is acceptable.

The fact that I was able to find so many examples in just the past week should concern you. It won’t, because it’s clear you don’t “count” those issues as legitimate, but it should and you should.

“I’m interested in what people think I’m doing wrong.” doesn’t mean you’re interested in improving, however. There are easy, concrete steps you could take; simple rewordings, a policy change or two, that would vastly improve how you interact with the “fringe” of HN.
One of the most amusing quotes in the movies given how obvious the statement must have seemed at the time. Tanenbaum made a statement hinting at the same development in the famous usenet debate with Torvalds in 1992.

"Of course 5 years from now that will be different, but 5 years from now everyone will be running free GNU on their 200 MIPS, 64M SPARCstation-5."
See my comment above. I did exactly that with Inventing the Future.

Maxwell didn't know how to read Mesa, of course, but I gave him the audio for how to read it. Just imagine what a CS professor would do if they read the code off a whiteboard, and do that.
Nobody in this thread is making any international comparisons. Being tough on crime has worked to a measurable extent in other nations, what about Chicago makes those policies that work elsewhere around the world, suddenly stop working when deployed in Chicago? Can Chicago be more like Singapore? Why not?
Burry is doing a lot of pretty short term speculation, according to his filings. What is a crash for a short term investor might be a bump for a long term one.
Unfortunately there are no capacitors on the chip and the external capacitors can't fulfill this role. So I suspect they are describing a different chip.

The Magnavox Odyssey game, however, worked as you describe; the ball position was the voltage on two capacitors (X/Y), and they were charged or discharged to make the ball move. (This game system was analog, built from transistors.)
I wish I could code in the time when there were no deadlines and you could gradually plod away at incredibly complex assembly code while hanging out with some like minded folk. That probably stopped being a thing in the 70s though.

I dunno, statistic about deaths from electrocution?
thanks!! Yeah I'm aware of them, they're so expensive tho! Probably worth the price.
YouTube has a problem where they are a victim of their own ad sales success: they have all of this advertising inventory that contractually needs to be shown, how do they make that happen? (I'm curious if the ads I don't see because I use uBlock Origin are somehow counted as having been seen... I think advertisers would call that fraud if that's the case.)

Of course an easy solution to this is to radically reduce the number of ads being shown and radically INCREASE the prices for said ads. It would help if content creators were active participants being paid a premium to tailor their content to an advertising model (A block, advert, B block, advert, C block... etc) rather than a sudden interruption in the middle of an explanation video about advanced networking concepts that are jolting and make me need to rewind a bit when it comes back from the algo-inserted advert to remember what the context was. (And if there remains a "let me pay to never see ads" tier then content designed for advert insertion should see some of that money going to the content creator and not just to YouTube).
Uhhh what? Sounds like you just throw everything in figma file without using artboards or components.

What do you mean you can’t flatten layers? Isn’t it what “exporting an image” is?

You can absolutely compress the exported image, well you can decide whether you want to export it at 1x 2x etc.
It’s a bit different from changing dpi but honestly using figma for print is rough
It's not just knowing how to do it, it's actually doing it right that counts. That's something nobody can guarantee, but experience (and professional insurance) can help with.
Just wait until Youtube begins hardcoding ads into videos. No doubt it's on their roadmap.
iOS Safari has ad blockers in the app store now. I would be surprised if these aren't available for desktop Safari.
Yes I think they simply misured the surface temp of a nearby panel not painted with this white paint.
They have. New York doesn't allow free purchase of pistol ammunition. That also includes small caliber rifle ammunition that has been used in handgun applications.

There is nothing wrong with bringing awareness to these things. I'm just making it clear that these changes are deliberately targeted at the average mobile user. Not the person who has a PiHole setup on their network and probably not at the average HN reader.
It shouldn’t be an issue given that for compliance reasons they don’t store credit card data and instead use a third party, and even if they got access to the API keys for that provider, they shouldn’t have access to enough data to somehow use your card.
> If you think you’re immune just because you’re a US citizen, you’re not.

That's a pretty big claim, do you have a particular example in mind? You might have your phone seized, sure, but denying a citizen entry to the country? Even CBP understands they can't do that and it would make the evening news if they did it.
AMT uses the IME.
95% of my 2FA accounts are TOTP. My issue is that not all providers give me printable backup codes - some just say "get two devices!" and that's just not reasonable for a variety of reasons.
It could be called the fintech compliance cycle. They start out with a single compliance officer (who is equipped with not much more than the OFAC list) and no identification requirements other than name and email. Then they get lots of customers due to how easy they are to use and how they don't arbitrarily steal your stuff like Paypal. Eventually they get a letter from some government agency telling them to implement "best practices" because one of their customers did something bad. Then in order to make the government happy they go and buy fancy screening software and hire a bunch of compliance monkeys who go around causing trouble like that described in the OP. At this point they are just a smaller version of Paypal and have very little reason to exist.
I don't buy it. I'm sure their individual lobbying efforts with politicians are far more effective and less risky forms of marketing.
The fuse would blow, because you have mains ->main fuse -> circuit fuse -> generator
Interesting. I’ve never tried it out, but I assumed that an RCD / GFCI would trip more or less instantaneously. I’m kind of surprised you felt much of anything.
There are two competing GPU drivers. One of them was winning a benchmark. Now the other one, which Mike works on, is winning a benchmark. Mostly through not doing work you don't need to do, and ALWAYS_INLINE (inline heuristics in most compilers are really simple and usually pretty awful).
This is horrible. I buy stuff on Amazon because I have an existing relation with them. I specifically do not want to establish new ones for every niche item I buy. If I’d want that, I’d buy my stuff from online shops that are tailored to a specific product category.

It’s fascinating how much the shopping experience has deteriorated over the years.
I can agree with this in principle, but in practice, who gets to write the contract governing this stuff? Do employees get a say?

I had options at my last job. They were worthless to me the entire 4.5 years I spent there. It wasn’t until 2 weeks after I was let go the company announced it was being acquired and my lottery tickets became worth something.

4.5 years of opportunity to be engaged at a deeper level as a shared owner of the business, wasted because the business never wanted me to be a part owner in the first place.

Definitely looking for more companies that operate the way you would expect here!
There's a social stigma here about being too vocal about this sort of thing, at least in the circles I encounter in California. You are either wasting your time or are a bit of a paranoid if you worry too much about these sorts of things. You even still see it here on HN, where people will pull out Hanlon's razor as some sort of proof that this sort of malfeasance doesn't exist.
This is not an argument I like to use, but I'd say that if you were knowledgeable enough, then you wouldn't be using it.
Which country(s) other than the US were the most problematic / worst? Personally I've had more aggravation at the Canadian border than any European country.
The correct solution here is for the courts to treat Amazon like a retailer.

If your local hardware store sells you one of these, then they (assuming the manufacturer cannot be found) assume liability for whatever damage it does.
"USGOV has a spotty track record of keeping this information secure."

No only problems with security. Flat out handing it out in forms of subpoena.
Are you waiting for Figma to get an Adobe-style pricing plan? The general sentiment is that it was a nice house, but now it is burning. Run while you can!
It would be interesting to do the same on a site like Zero Hedge where the posts/comments run nearly 100% pro Russia/Putin.

On a lark I've looked at the limited available posting history of a few users and lets just say they don't have time for much of anything else during the day than to post on ZH.
I'm surprised no benchmarks were done with logging turned on.

I get wanting to isolate things but this is the problem with micro benchmarks, it doesn't test "real world" usage patterns. Chances are your real production server will be logging to at least syslog so logging performance is worth looking into.

If one of them can write logs with 500 microseconds added to reach request but the other takes 5 milliseconds that could be a huge difference in the end.
Could a paint like this be used to further increase the efficiency of solar panels?
Not really. There's sound theoretical basis for that approach in astrophotography. The sort of bias and or noise introduced by systemically poor labeling is much less reliably averaged out.
Wow. I didn't think these were a thing. Because it's such a terrible idea. Wow.

Hanging Christmas lights isn't that hard. Lay'em out, attach them to each other, plug into wall to test, then and only then hang them. Kind of like the old measure twice, cut once for woodworking.

And the generator usage. WTF? Who buys a $1000+ generator and then half-assess the installation? (rhetorical question) Power inlets aren't particularly expensive (relative to the cost of the generator, or burning down the house, or death).
The parts alone to do it properly are several hundred dollars - the inlet box is around $60, 25 feet of 10/3 cable is $100 (obviously more for longer - wiring has gotten really expensive the past few years), circuit breaker $20, interlock kit is $150 (https://interlockkit.com/product/square-d-kit-k-5010-125-200...). Plus permit and inspection ($150 is the cheapest permit in my town). That's already $480 and you haven't even talked to the electrician yet.

If you get lucky and find an inexpensive electrician AND the inlet you want to install is located very close to the panel (minimal drilling, short wire, etc.), you can probably get it done for less than $1000, but probably not a whole lot less.
I'm sure something like SponserBlock - or SponserBlock its self - will step up to the plate.
I'm going back to basics and learning to write a compiler in the dumbest way possible. I'm starting with a basic assignment (a = 3) and reverse engineering what it would take to turn that into a working executable. Then I'll add more features, lather, rinse and repeat. I'm hoping to eventually turn it into a series of blog posts so everyone can see just how little I remember from college.
My advice is that you get a civilian job /before/ you start your MS. There's a few reasons why:

1. Your employer may sponsor you and pay for some/all of the cost, or otherwise support you financially while attending.

2. #1 may be contingent on which school you attend.

3. Your coworkers who are mentors to you (at whatever level that may be) likely have connections and can steer you towards the right school to further your career.

Ultimately, to a large degree, your career should decide if, when, and where you attend graduate studies if you aren't going to go into academia. A lot of people do Georgia Tech in the FAANG world and it's pretty great, but some companies have an internal (and often unspoken) preference for particular schools if you're trying to rise in the ranks.
I think that's fair if you're talking about the warfront. But I disagree that we cannot talk about policies around the war and what the implications are for this Winter, for example.

It could be, yeah, in an alternate universe where the Evangelical and more recently, Catholic churches weren't leading the movement; where the politicians advancing anti-abortion laws weren't literally arguing that it's god's will; where the same religious activists and politicians weren't passing laws to harm LGBT youth arguing that it's god's will; where censorship and library closures weren't being enacted and justified on the basis of god's will; where there wasn't a significant proportion of politicians and even justices describing the US as a Christian state. In that universe, one could argue that the movement against women's rights wasn't based on religion. But in this universe, you must be a liar or a fool to believe such a thing.
Pretty interesting. I’ll have a look.

Regardless, when thinking about WW2 we look for evidence for claims, and take neither Nazi propaganda nor Allied propaganda at face-value. Propaganda from those days seems almost comically transparent in retrospect.

During war time even today, propaganda is a powerful and pervasive weapon.

The weird thing is Redditors seem to understand this fully, and yet assume this rule applies only to one side.
How often does this actually happen? I would hope that almost anyone using one of these have the sense to turn off their main breaker.
>Who is "we" here?
Everyone?

Regarding your other points, of course I try to be specific, already because it makes context switching easier and is generally more productive. However, in some situations you want to be vague. If you want to get the opinion from someone and don't want to discuss this with everyone else around for example, or if you want to hear their immediate idea right now without overthinking it, etc. Not very common, but also nothing bad about it in my opinion.

The problem is that the actual scary conversations are always masked as an innocent one for exactly the reason to not induce panic, nobody will say "you have a moment to discuss your performance wrt/ the layoffs that will be coming?". This sucks but that's how things are. If we change our language and interactions to make it impossible to take somebody aside without being explicit about that it's not scary - how do you take somebody aside for an actual scary conversation? These should be anyways rare and typically not coming out of the blue and if somebody is constantly anxious that they might have done something terribly wrong there are deeper problems in your employment relationship
>I don't think computers are still "fun".
The distinct atmosphere of geeky fun that computing had in the 80s and 90s through the early 00s just doesn't exist anymore.

I disagree. It exists live and well but you must be looking for it in the wrong places.

You won't find it on any app store but they have moved to the Linux FOSS communities and projects, like KDE for example. Or even games from indie game studios that you can find on steam. Also look into communities developing game mods or OSS ports of classic games. Or people trying to run Doom/Quake on various devices. Or playing around with FPGAs. That's where the geeky fun is nowadays.

You can also still build your own PC instead of buying a prebuilt or a Mac.

If you're willing to look beyond the walled gardens and the mainstream billion dollar corporations and game studios, you'll find the fun.
I don't understand how it could be preferable to be paid in public equity you could otherwise buy with cash
I find it extremely annoying that everything is a series now. I have a hard time finding movies because all streaming platforms have gone all in on turning everything into series for maximum engagement and lock-in. Fuck that.
This is the best comment in all. HN folks don't understand the purpose of this article. You think Druckenmiller is so bearish? for the next 30 yrs? Not a chance. He must have a huge short position on the S&P500, and he likes you to sell your stocks so he could cover at a lower level.
Thats a very entitled view. No one is forcing you to use Youtube and you are skimping creators who rely heavily on ad revenue.
Maybe? What if it's a slow-blow fuse / breaker, and the phase is just a little bit off?
No, no, RISC architecture was already changing everything. I mean, RISC made possible not only the Newton, but also the Alphas that shortly after that powered AltaVista, and the SGIs that powered significant parts of the US nuclear stockpile stewardship program (not to mention some movie visual effects). And arguably without the pressure from RISC we wouldn't have seen the adoption of OoO and the micro-op approach that was already starting to boost CISC performance when the movie came out.
Yes as I said I choose not to live there and would never live in a place where the voters choose such a system.

It's their choice, but it's a stupid choice. Personally it seems they were naive or even lied to about the outcome.

I can argue their decision because of the 1A. Same as you can argue against their previous system...
Right. More and more nowadays with non-fiction, I read a few chapters, realize I've already heard everything the author has to say, and drop it. Life's too short.
Haha I must say, HMRC has got to be the most well documented jurisdiction I dealt with. I think you are right with HMRC. But I incorporated in one of the tax friendly countries in Eastern Europe. The way I understood the rule is, I only need to try to make an income. And I do. I have a paypall button. But, there’s no rule on the cost/income. I’m just spending money to try to make money, which is what every body does. I just happen to do it with less success.
I found Figma docs thrown over the wall from designers pretty hard to consume.

Perhaps it was just how that particular design team used it but

- they put a huge amount of information in a single document.

- lots of sticky note style additions that were not clearly associated with what they referred to.

- hard to search.

- hard to determine what a single unit of work could be. Again, maybe this was the team but they didn't have a concept of discrete tasking. It was just "here's the giant figma doc with everything from p0s to stuff we might not even want"

If your company had offered you the cash value of RSUs instead of the RSUs, would you not have ended up in the same position financially? For example, if your base pay was 200k, and you had a grant of RSUs worth 200k, how is that better financially than getting all 400k in cash?

Most of your comment is substantive, but your opening sabotages meaningful discussion. HN guidelines:

> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.

> please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

> Eschew flamebait. Avoid unrelated controversies, generic tangents, and internet tropes.

Well, do elaborate pls.

After reading some of the comments here you're absolutely right :(

Dirty secret is at somewhere the size of Spotify no normal employee is going to move the stock price on their own to any extent, so these incentivization things even if they were aligned to increasing when the price increases only could incentivize positive behavior towards increasing the stock price if the employee didn't understand tragedy of the commons or something.
Truly secure access to computers is simply not possible under those conditions. A hardware root of trust used to verify your identity is mandatory.

Hmmm no, it’s not trasparent. Maybe you can paint the borders/frame of a solar panel and keep it a bit cooler but not over the panel.
>Games are not allowed to be cheaper elsewhere than they are on Steam

Afaik that's only if you sell Steam keys (which are generated by Valve on the request of the publisher that they then pass down to resellers like Humble for example or they sell on their own).

BUT even then it sounds incredibly hard to enforce when Steam has a regional pricing policy and you can actually find games cheaper from official sources if you are in a "wrong" region
