> If people didn’t want tight integration, then products that are built specifically for tight integration are just not the right tool for the job that they want to do, and I don’t understand why they can’t simply choose not to buy the product.

This, a million times. I never understand the take “this product is a runaway, worldwide success, and I want to use it as well because it’s by far the best, but I also want various other of my own, individual priorities factored in” in some sort of mythical unicorn product.

And because many of us are hackers/makers/programmers/tinkerers, one of those priorities is the ability to have all of the above, but also unfettered access to the internals to modify it as we please.

It’s like… this car is perfect for my needs in every way, and far and above the best in its class. But I want it to run on hydrogen, so if they could just do that, it’d be perfect. Why are they forcing me to run on electric?

Dude, don’t buy it?

Code generation is not necessary, just makes it more typesafe and comfortable to use AFAIK.

Your plan has serious a flaw. Imagine this timeline:

1. steal iphone A

2. split it into parts

3. install parts into iPhone B

4. parts not yet marked stolen, they work, check passes

5. Iphone A marked stolen

...
Not really all that different from the software industry.

I can only assume you would be surprised by the contents of the aforementioned radio shows (and lots of the scripted conversations in game), because they dealt with this exact topic in 2013 - in depth and par excellence.
GTAs audience explicitly wants an over the top explicit, non-politically correct product.

In the last game, a main character (Trevor) was introduced by stomping an npcs brain into the ground before finding rests of it on his shoe. There is nothing pc about GTA, it takes place in a cynic take on reality that doesn’t respect the common sentimental denominator of marketing departments in the real world.
The banner ad people have moved on to Animate. The 'flash splash' thing went away due to iOS. The people who were doing actual ActionScript dev are using JS now. I'd guess people are just nostalgic for those homemade flash minigames and cartoons and the like.
I think the question is should "regular people" accept what they're told by "lunatics" as if they were "regular", or should some filter or skepticism be applied?

It would be justice if Byju end up getting some education.
It wouldn't if you get a good paying job. But sometimes the degree doesn't pay out that way and people are left struggling to pay rent, let alone debt.
Sure. Why should anything cost anything? Why should anyone have to subsidize people getting useless degrees at expensive colleges? Why can't you go to CCs and then state schools for much less? For most people, the modern college experience is just extended high school with almost zero educational value. Most people are more suited to trade schools. The poor kids already have incredible access to scholarships. It's all just "I want it" thinking.

An organization only has so much mental capacity to focus on challenges. Having a required repair-ability goal would hinder the pace of innovation.

It might be worth the hit, but naive to think such an accomplishment is without innovation cost.
Okay, true. But it should be pretty easy to make contact, at least.
Third parties are perfectly capable of making replacement parts that match the OEM parts in functionality and quality. This has no effect on integration. The other parts of the phone don't care who manufactured the part, unless they were programmed to, as long as they are functionally equivalent. The user certainly doesn't care who manufactured the part as it does not effect the user experience.
Everything We Know About the Uber Hack
Sure does seem like that the world in which "you will own nothing, and you will be happy" is approaching rapidly. It's not sufficient that your emails are being read and your cell phone is being tracked; now your own car will spy on you to make sure you're not behaving in the wrong manner ("other purposes").

I'm not surprised that the government is voting for government to have more power, but hopefully there will be some checks and balances against this kind of thing.
Consensus-building conversation changes our minds and aligns our brains
> platforms of a size large enough to justify treating them as a "public square" must meet common-carrier-like requirements that prevent them from discriminating based on viewpoint.

This sounds so reasonable and nuanced until you reach this final phrase: "prevent them from discriminating based on viewpoint." Doing that requires the state to determine what speech is "un-biased, politically neutral speech" and which speech has a political "viewpoint." And under this law a government will determine this at the point of a gun, not the people operating individual websites.

(Because obviously if you implemented this in a truly content-neutral way along the lines that you suggest for a common carrier, every platform would be overrun by spam. So there has to be a decision about what constitutes biased speech, and that means political figures will be making determinations.)

This isn't theoretical. Nobody in this country even agrees on what "political/biased" speech is. Things that used to be broadly accepted by our whole society no longer are. I'm not going to go into examples, but you know exactly what they are. And you probably disagree with half of them. This law means that you won't get to decide, the state and the courts will.

If your problem is the over-concentration of social networking companies, I'm happy to agree. I urge you to support laws that reduce the power and userbase of these firms in a content-neutral way -- without placing the government in charge of what speech is "ok".
Nope, I haven't seen it!
Sounds like an issue with your client. old.reddit.com and i.reddit.com never did that to me, and I don't recall any client from F-Droid doing that either.
Ask HN: Do you browse the web with JavaScript disabled?
We have two versions of our product: (1) SPA-like experience and (2) <14kb, <200 lines of css, <30 lines of JavaScript.

We are debating whether to maintain the LiteMode (the SPA is actually SSR, we've decoupled our MVC well, so maintaining the LiteMode is only 20% more work). This got me thinking. What if we made the LiteMode entirely text-only, maybe with some optional CSS. No JavaScript.

I tested HN and it degrades fairly well. Some things such as the comment toggle doesn't work. There's actually a HTML <details> element nowadays provides this toggability out of the box without JavaScript. At any rate, is it worth voiding the LiteMode of any and all JavaScript? Do people browse the internet with JavaScript disabled?

> which is a dissapointing result for whoever plays white.

Not necessarily. If black has a higher ELO rating then white is happy to draw and may aggressively seek a draw.

I think the problem is that seeking draws makes chess boring. And that it’s realistic for someone ranked well below another player to force a draw, while it’s near impossible for the lower ranked player to win outright. So you end up with a wide range of players seeking stalemates and a small minority looking for a win, but not at the expense of a potential loss.
It's poison for the career of traditional media also.

News consumers no longer need the journalist middle man, they can go directly to the source of the news.

Journalists should now, more than ever, be focused on traditional journalistic efforts. Succumbing to the temptation to just "find a story on Twitter" is just cementing the fact traditional media is dead and the era of the citizen journalist is here.
Interesting. Do you know why mortgages in Canada are so different from the US? They seem much more risky on the buyer’s side.
Increased repairability != enough repairability, as per the comments here. Beyond the article, Apple products still aren’t as repairable as the Right to Repair Movement would like, because people still have to peruse thousand-page highly technical manuals and buy specialized equipment if they wanted to fix certain parts of their Apple devices.
From the photo, that looks like a stock iCE40 FPGA, which does not support hardware attestation of the loaded bitstream. How does the user verify that the FPGA loaded the expected bitstream instead of something with a backdoor? A DICE chain that is not rooted in physical, immutable hardware isn't very useful.
I feel you are moving the goalposts.

Also, in my own experience arm is pretty quick to approve things. But of course if you are "negotiating" things can take more time
Being FPGA Based from what i can tell is a brilliant idea. This makes it possible to fix hardware level security issues. I've been shocked by the recent exploit found in google pixels security chip since i rely heavily on it (using graphene os). An unfixable hardware level bug in it would turn my phone to e-waste for me. This solves this quite elegantly.
No, I just want to say that probably most of healthy people (well, at the very least men) can, with a bit of preparation, achieve the above mentioned result with no prior history of doing any serious sports. It would require some effort but it is doable in 6 months.

Why does everybody assume this is vanity?
If I paid off my student loans, I've hit that pothole. It's done and past; I'm not continuously driving over it. There is no second lane; the pothole was just filled in a bit (not fully, of course).
> I’m not sure I care much about repairability. For me, makers should have the freedom to design products as they wish.

No one should have the "right" to create products that turn to garbage when any part of it breaks. A clean planet is more important than "great user experiences". The second thing that they did it only for profit, is ergonomics of new repairable iphone any worse?

Also "software locked" parts should be banned by EU regulators.

It's bad policy, not tyranny.

It's populist, inefficient, unfair and counter productive. None of this is tyranny, just bad economics. When you throw terms like "tyranny" around it obfuscates just how bad living under a tyranny really is. Cut the hyperbole and save terms like "tyranny" for actual tyrannical regimes, of which there are enough actual examples to go around.
I think this is a good policy, as long as the universities are made to bear the risk of non payment. They should stand behind the value of their product with their money on the line like every other business.
I believe Flash was killed in agreement with Apple. The big app store players can't allow Flash (or HTML5) apps to be just as good as native apps, or they would lose their walled garden. This is especially true for Apple.

I can imagine there was a secret deal to uncerimoniously run Flash down. What did Adobe get in return? Maybe the assurance that Apple doesn't make iCloud the only allowed cloud service, so that Adobe could make profit with CC subscriptions?

A graphical RAD tool would have a big market, if you think of how widespread Flash was. Or if you think about old VB6, Delphi, and the raise of no-code. There is really a need for a simple interaction design tool that lets you click together a working graphical interface. (Now that I think about it, maybe this could grow out of Figma?)

>> predatory student loans applied to people at a time where society yelled "get a college degree or you'll never get a good job

> People still decided to respect the words onto which they signed their name.

Sorry, are you defending predatory practices? Most government regulation that are almost universally agreed upon, even by stout libertarians, are making predatory practices illegal. In absolutely no world is a singular person, of any intelligence and experience, a match for a team of lawyers at multi-million or multi-billion dollar institutions. It is the same reason many dark patterns are illegal. Because if trickery is used then informed consent is not actually given. It is a situation that is near universally agreed upon as unfair. I'm sorry, you can't just hand wave predatory practices away. They are not okay. Talk about incentives. If you allow predatory practices to flourish you get Robber Barons. That's not healthy for an economy or a country's citizens either.

I think the key question here is: what kind of help is available? Is the "help" financial literacy classes, religious drug rehab, and overcrowded shelters with draconian policies?

How many of these people would still be out on the street if housing was abundant and affordable? Some, maybe, but surely not most.
Intuitively this makes the most sense to me, because "looking like trash" can mean textures, model fixing, physics, etc. which adds to the immersion but is purely throwaway work if the game mechanic, area, or storyline is changed.
Ah the things mankind can achieve.
My source is "going to college" and "seeing what my peers wrote" when they asked me to help them proof read, and me seeing my paper get a 100, and their paper getting 70 despite being nonsense. (because the grading rubric rewards heavily following the process)

I am sure that you have watched a teacher grade 50+ 10 page papers in the span of a week and heard their rational behind each grade though. Having graded some of those papers when being a TA, its all about the rubric, not the content, and most of the rubric is stuff like "Did they follow formatting rules? Did they hit page requirement? Did they have correct citations? Did they follow citation format?" Because not having a space in the wrong place during their works cited page is super important, but writing utter nonsense? Eh. Stuff like "the content" is sometimes low as 10 points on the paper. Usually about 20.
Flash is dead. It's not appropriate for the modern world anymore.

If you want to run it in a VM running a legacy OS, in order to play an old game for nostalgic reasons, you have that ability. That's different from demanding the whole thing be ported to more modern technologies so it runs on modern systems.
On August 6, 1991, the first-ever website went live. In 2005, the first video on YouTube titled “me at the zoo" was uploaded on the site. Two years later, the now ubiquitous smartphone was released, heralding the advent of some new technologies and the app revolution.
As an outsider to the US and a person that leans more into "socialism", I find these type of threads really interesting. It's so different (from my principles) where most American commenters that are against this policy are coming from.

I would not have a problem in providing relief to the poorer through social policies. My take is that at the end of the day is part of the social contract I "accept" when living in the society. Some people had it harder, some made poor choices (including drug addicts, people studying philosophy, people choosing not to study, etc), but in my (socialist maybe) view, it is in MY interest for them to be good-standing members of society. Otherwise, we risk them becoming criminals.

Yes, - the tech is called UBA (user behaviour analytics.. or something) - over time it builds a baseline of what a user does in a typical day/ week/ month as part of their role, and if they deviate from that base pattern then an alert can be triggered on different thresholds - for example, why is a member of support downloading the entire production database (not that they should have access there, but you get my point)

If any company can figure out how to do it and be a tight integrated product that works amazingly, it's Apple.

Let's not forget, this is also about reducing e-waste and it's not an option anymore to dump new phones because one part broke and you can't repair yourself.
Ask HN: Vim for Financial Charts, why hasn't anyone made this?
As developers, we know peak productivity means never touching a mouse.

I'm finding that thinkorswim and similar investing tools for retail traders, don't understand or share this ethos.

There are shortcuts for trading, but keyboard navigation for charting is primitive compared to what a typical dev IDE or even text editor would include.

I'm surprised none of us have implemented a Vim for financial charts. (e.g. scrolling, zooming, changing intervals and timeframes, etc.)

Any thoughts as to why?

Given the money flowing in finance, it seems like an app that could be very lucrative on its own. (e.g. not as a replacement for apps like think or swim, but as a companion.)
> It was definitely what drew the first blood.

Lack of iOS compatibility was the nail in the coffin. Our web agency already hated Flash because it lacked any SEO capability, and the editor was shit. When the iPhone dropped it we had already been building websites without it for a couple of years. It was just a nice accelerator and allowed us to deny clients who requested Flash much easier.

Fast forward a couple more years and security became the main issue. Many of our clients were infatuated with their Flash websites and didn't want to move on. I just took down a Flash website (replaced with HTML/CSS/JS) in... 2022!
Yeat!
Flash's dead baby,
Flash's dead.
I'll preface my comment by saying that my earliest experiences with programming came from using Actionscript in Macromedia Flash. I loved how artistic the internet was in this 'full multimedia' era, and I have very fond memories of both the internet, and cutting my teeth in web design, and programming.

I see no reason why Adobe would want to. I don't think this is how websites are designed these days, or what consumers expect. I don't think people want to navigate these kinds of sites anymore. The internet is not designed to be an 'experience' these days, it's designed to facilitate consumer needs quickly with minimum friction. Which is pretty much the opposite of what the high-multimedia websites built in Flash were designed to do. Users want fast load times, and instant response, not interesting animation.

The current system has existed for long enough that we can observe the results of its incentive structures. We can see that people continue to suffer from heavy student loan burdens which limit their ability to fully (and productively) participate in society, even well after they graduate (or don't) university. The incentives you allude to clearly haven't aligned social behavior away from this outcome, so why should we expect that to change?

Given this apparent reality, what we're considering isn't whether or not to risk negatively impacting the existing incentive structure - which isn't producing an optimal outcome to begin with, but whether or not to assuage the suffering of a significant number of student loan holders. Would you prefer taking a purely moral stand for "personal responsibility" if it meant preventing a measure that could help lots of people live fuller lives and contribute to society at a higher level?
He does. Not that anyone cares, but I do as well. But considering FP lessons while still writing C is a long way from considering how far Java can be moved towards Haskell. Or experimenting with writing large parts of games and systems software in Scheme.
This is one of these "if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear" type bills.

People won't understand how important it is to fight these things until it's too late.
Being part of a society does not mean socializing the cost of every person's mistakes and desires.

Society is just a tool to offer anywhere from 0 to Total wealth transfers. You are just saying that the society you want has more transfers and claiming it to be the only definition of the concept

Generally both sides play to win, but if you play to draw instead (by playing 'sub-optimal' moves etc) you paradoxically have a better chance of winning.
