Unfortunately I don't think Figma's market base shares the pejorative associations with Adobe as do the majority of HN. To the mainstream, Adobe is to design tools what Microsoft is to office tools or Google is to search and email. A rival would have to significantly outperform Figma before the market shifts, which may become possible some years down the line if Adobe screws things up.

Thanks. I did think about quitting a few times but realized it was mostly frustration of other things that bring about that. It's a hell lot easier for me to blame the family than blaming myself when I failed to achieve something I wanted.
Yes it is, but it's not there yet (see my reply to the sibling comment).
Many who had USDC on TC pools have had their assets frozen. Others might have a hard time sending or receiving these assets to typical US-based services because they will be hesitant to touch anything that has been through TC.

EU publishes tons of written material, and basically all of it has to be translated. Costs for translating the proceedings are very likely less than 1% of total costs for translation.
This sounds like classic anticompetitive collusion between monopolies to me.

If this behavior really is common, I suggest complaining to the relevant authorities.
It might be if your only language is English. If not, it requires going back and getting translations done again. And it's not necessarily as easy as just removing the offending text. Text is very contextual, and the removal of some text might necessitate changing other text.

I'd not want to suggest that something is "minor" in a system I'm not familiar with.
To have different implementations we first need a "Python language specification" which doesn't exist. All other implementations have to be compatible with CPython to increase their chance of getting wider adoptions.

He can direct the justice department to investigate all sorts of possible infractions, costing them considerable money in legal fees, disrupting business activities, and causing negative PR. Trying to do any of this as the election loser it just comes across as sour grapes, and the justice department wouldn't follow any directions of this sort. And this is just scratching the surface.
FWIW, at the end of the day ElasticSeach is just a set of Java classes.

If you’re using the JVM already and want the SQLLite of search, you can instantiate an index in your own JVM, load documents, and get compatible query features.

You can also use Lucene directly, which is simpler, but does have some nuances that differ if you want perfect query compatibility between a deployed ElasticSeach cluster and an in-memory search.

From all my digital addictions, FB is the one I have most under control.

I have to do a lot of blocking but the reality is that I can now say I do enjoy Facebook.

My timeline is filled with content I meticulously have curated:Woodworking, Baking, Canoeing, Startups, Beekeeping, Jeeps.

But... it shouldn't take all this work to enjoy it.
Too difficult: you need to prove they knew and took a series of actions to get there, but it's very hard to do, and they usually have fall guys all the way to protect themselves. It's also easier than ever to destroy evidence.

The cost of going after those companies is ridiculous already, once they are proven guilty, it would be simpler if we could punish the company as a person, than to find a real person to punish. After all, companies are very happy to be persons for other legal purposes.
> it encouraged users to share personal information (including pictures and bio items)

Yes, precisely. This is my point entirely, that ego, vanity, pride, conceit and narcissism is what motivates these individuals to want and need to share personal details with complete strangers, and this is the entire point of Facebook, to beguile its members with a platform of opportunity to indulge in symptoms of personality disorder and character flaw.
Facebook was just the beginning. It feels crude almost in comparison to the new generation of designer drugs (TikTok et. al).
The guess in a thread commenting on an earlier article was that Boom expected RR to fund the development of a new engine.

I don't consider it "proving" I'm working but, I tend to over-communicate (or some call it just "communicate") with my team. I let them know when I'm running to lunch or running an errand. I tend to talk about what I'm working on throughout the day. Folks rarely respond to any of it but, I feel a level of accountability. I don't expect anyone else to walk me through their day... It's just a "me" thing.

It seems totally fine to me that software needing the performance of non-zeroed deallocations can implement its own pool itself for the critical path in the code that needs it.
> THE tool necessary to check if software eng are at work exists; source control.

Careful. I don't commit every experiment I run, and some features or bugs require quite a bit of experimentation. I once had a client who refused to pay for a day on which I did a lot of work, but didn't commit it to source control.
Well, it's also waste of time and if your app is constantly allocating and deallocating stuff it would take a lot more.

Does this actually work?

My impression was that most typical inverters used in home PV installations have (required) anti-islanding safety features where they only output power if the input waveform (from the grid) looks good. It seems like manually islanding the home at the breaker would just look like an outage to an anti-islanding inverter and it would still shut down, so wouldn’t you also need an inverter with a manual switch to disable anti-islanding? Or how would the anti-islanding inverter detect that the home has been manually disconnected from the grid?

The problem is that the rules are enforced differently based on the reviewer you get, and how s/he feels that day. This is blatantly obvious after time dealt with reviewers for more than 3 submissions.

I would be surprised to learn the Waltons actually live and spend much of their time in Arkansas.
Yeah, they are all pretty similar. The storage usage is probably due to Google's gigantic user base, or perhaps due to their tenancy model (i.e. you get a 'google account' that also contains 'storage' instead of the other way around).

While some features like versioning and sharing and mail integration vary, nearly all of the 'big' ones do the same thing (OneDrive, iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox, even box.com and MEGA to some extent).

Ironically, this sameness might actually be a good thing, as it makes it a bit more interchangeable (well, if we ignore the variety in native integrations), it would be pretty bad if there were significant missing features between them.
> supersonic passenger aircraft would use 7-9 times more fuel per passenger, per kilometre, than subsonic jets burning fossil fuel

Ick.
One advantage is that when you allocate the memory back out (either by malloc, or calloc which requires zeroing), you don't have to do anything.

It is mentioned that if you write to freed memory, that could lead to later callocs not returning zeroed memory, which shows they are relying on this.

O'Reilly sells their books to software engineers with the intent for them to use the information to further their knowledge and apply it in a commercial setting.

The difference in intent is very clear, and a judge would make a distinction between these.
Steve Jobs pointed this out along time ago. No one cares about the hardware. Nice hardware is nice but what we care about is the software.

And honestly, shoehorning privacy into a conversation about choices in phones is a poor show. Feel ashamed.

To my understanding, its quite important if your unemployed/a newly graduated student, as of course there is no company to pay for your software package, but you still need to produce a portfolio.

Also thinking about it, it'd be an issue for freelancers. I guess they'd just up their rates, but that makes them harder to sell.
It has been a dumb idea from the start. In a nutshell, making the whole process secure to acceptable levels would slow things down to the point where it's the same time as a regular plane flight. Yet it would cost orders of magnitude more.

No one even knows how many people are in "reserve": 20M, 50M?

Who mentioned constant surveillance, video taping public places, or what not?

There are already CCTVs all over the place, ANPR cameras here and there on the road (at least in the UK) that check for valid insurance and 'wanted' cars. This does not seem to have much of a psychological effect on people...

We could imagine CCTVs with face recognition in 'strategic' locations that could check for wanted people while not identifying and not recording anyone else, for instance, as I already mentioned. I don't see the outrage with that.

I remember discussions on using the tech to monitor entries and exists in schools or other places. That does not seem outrageous, either.

There are lot of things that could be done or tried, some would stick, some wouldn't. A blanket ban shuts the door on everything and as far as I can see this is for ideological and emotional reasons, not pragmatic ones. What's needed is a very strict legal framework, not a ban.
> Why do companies want an app?

It's not for telemetry (at least at the scale/size of companies I deal with). As far as I can tell it's the prestige. I know this because our initial app had no push notifications and the clients who paid for it wouldn't stop asking about an app and didn't even touch the (identical) web version.

Push notifications are part of it for sure but I just wanted to give an example of a case where there were no features that were app-only but all they cared about was the app. I'd say "Yeah, we have that new feature and you can see it at yourbrand.ourcompany.com" and they'd say "Ok, when will we have an app?", felt like I was taking crazy pills but I've seen this exact same conversation repeated at multiple companies, multiple clients. And lest someone thing this is a subdomain-related thing, it's not, I had the same questions when we setup the web version at theirdomain.com.

Because web-based apps don't have a good user experience. Even a web app embedded inside of native app feels bad. Maybe it's something about WebKit specifically that feels bad, but there is a very noticeable difference between a web app and a native app. Part of the issue is the thread model. Touch events come in on the app's main thread, and then those touch events get dispatched on to the JavaScript thread, and then the JavaScript thread needs to dispatch to yet another thread to render. It's just impossible to achieve native-level touch interactions in a web-based app.

And then there is there is the polish level. Apple has spent god knows how long polishing each and every native interaction. All the animation curves are perfect. You lose all of that polish when you build a web app.

> I wasn’t referring to Great Barrington Declaration, so unclear to me why that is critical.

Because it's the crux of TFA. Without evidence that the Federal Government pressured companies to spike information they considered unfavorable, this is just a big pile of emails between bureaucrats and office workers.

The email on p. 516 exemplifies this: someone in USG is asking Meta how they responded to a local government report. They're not asking for any specific action from Meta, and there's no evidence in the replies that Meta's employees construed the request as a demand to do anything.
IMO discord is not great. I might be in the minority but everything these days offers a discord because it's simple. I'm not a fan of it and would prefer IRC. Part of that reason is discord is just spying equipment dressed up with a nice UI.

I couldn't imagine using discord for a company. Slack actually provides some value outside of just chat that makes it legitimately nicer than the mid 00's solution of AOL messenger (or MSN) that companies used to use. I don't think self hosting a chat of similar value would be much cheaper if you did it properly. 1,000 users will require plenty of servers and failover, plenty of storage for messages (even if you cut it off at 90 days), etc. A lot of people use slack as an ad-hoc note storing service with search so go ahead and add even more hardware. On AWS this would get prohibitively expensive quickly. Honestly I could do without 90% of the features and would be very happy if I could just run IRC in my terminal for work. Unfortunately IRC is non-trivial to get a normal person started on.
That’s like a 25 minute trip if you’re on the freeway.

During the first weeks of covid, the strategy proposed by most of the medical establishment was to "flatten the curve", which basically is to allow everyone to be exposed, but at a pace that is gradual enough that the healthcare system isn't overwhelmed. (Sweden continued this approach for months.)

https://www.nytimes.com/article/flatten-curve-coronavirus.ht...

In effect, that was what was still proposed in the Barrington Declaration in October.

While I disagreed with the proposal (just as I did with flatting the curve in March/April), I don't think it was disinformation. Rather, I think the declaration represents a value systems (liberitarianism) where liberty is seen as more important than safety, and where harming one group (children and young people) to help another (sick and elderly) is seen as unethical.

My main objection was that I didn't think it would be realistic with our current population to be able to stomach such an approach to the end, with the number of deaths that would be likely to follow, and that starting lockdowns late might cause roughly as much harm from the lockdowns as starting them early. (Even Sweden did partically pivot, eventually.)

Basically, though, I think the view presented in the declartion simply represents a political view, not disinformation. And I'm not a big fan of sensoring political views.
There is a monetary component to inflation and a non monetary component to inflation. If energy prices go up, that doesn't mean the government is doing deficit spending in excess of what the economy can handle, it can mean that OPEC is colluding or an important fossil fuel trade relationship between countries crumbled. That doesn't mean there isn't monetary inflation, surely a positive interest rate is justified for now but I don't think it has to go all the way to 8.6%.
I haven’t tried sending push notifications to iOS over web yet but this should be possible since iOS 16 [1] because they introduced “web push”. According to Apple, it works cross-browser, even if the browser was killed by the user, and you are not required to have an Apple developer account.

This is what happened in Waterloo, Ontario with Blackberry.

>There was a belief for a time that consumers no longer cared about privacy, that the millennial generation preferred to share everything, and harvesting data was fine because the concept of privacy was antiquated.

It's not like this is wrong. If you give consumers the choice of paying $5/month directly for some service vs. providing $5/month in personal data then they'll pretty much always choose the latter - I don't believe this has changed.

What has changed is that now third parties are better-able to disrupt companies from Meta from silently harvesting personal data as a default, and consumers generally don't mind this because they see the result as them getting to use the data-harvesting websites for free. Just like they're happy to use adblockers even if that collectively results in sites having to use heavy-handed subscription policies. If you give people the option to free ride, it's not surprising that they do it.

Kind of a meta comment, it's always interesting to see / hear that when a somewhat well-known author writes a new book, you see interviews with them cropping up on "all the usual" places, other outlets write about it etc.

It's nice with something like "What if? 2", because Randall is an interesting podcast guest, and there are just so many different things to talk about.

It's a bit more annoying in other cases, where within two month you hear the same author on 5 different podcasts, and the author says the same thing on each of them. Time to use the skip button.

I guess that's simply how it works nowadays in publishing: writing the book is work, but then you also need to spend quite some time promoting it, in the hopes not only that it boosts sales, but also that the boosted sales put the book in some bestseller lists, boosting sales even further.

But with eleventy billion superficial skins layered on top, to choose from.
