I've seen this brought up, but I'm unimpressed with Lerner. He follows pretty slimy tactics, taking quotes by other cosmologists completely out of context to try to claim they're saying things that they aren't. For example, this discussion: [0]

It seems to me like he's a guy who has a theory he's held onto for decades and takes every opportunity to bring it up again. He tries to make it sound like there's new doubt, but the actual people that he misquotes deny they meant what he claims, and if you read the original quotes it's clear that he's cherry-picking. That's not to say that he's wrong, just that his arguments are very unpersuasive to me because they rely on misleading the audience.

Exactly my thoughts. The UK cast really was a special combination of talent. Jen, Moss, Roy, Richmond, both Reynholms... 6 people who completely nailed their role at once.
I have enjoyed bing as well but I guess I find myself naturally gravitating to yandex. They are both good imo.

Wouldn't Cloud Run be a better product for that use case?
That's a fair list and I can see how it can be read as anti-capitalist, but I think that is basically projecting political beliefs onto the paper (as I said before they explicitly avoid supporting any particular system). I hope that these points can be addressed within the current capitalist system, but obviously some changes to the status quo would be required. The essential point of the paper is the importance of studying these things within a multidisciplinary framework of planetary limitations.

How would you best reduce concentrations of power? Personally I think some Austrian school ideas have merit (increasing local power relative to central governments) and direct democracy.
Interesting. I'm not sure why I would chose this over Elasticsearch though? How does performance stack up against ElasticSearch? If the API is compatible with ES does that mean I can use the ELK stack including logstash for ingestion, and kibana for analysis?

Also... One of the things I didn't like about ES was the JSON DSL. It would be nice to create a friendlier query language, maybe something like SQL to query data. I find ES queries written to be ugly to look at, and not intuitive.
Exactly. Nobody would pay for Teams if it cost money. That's how bad it is.
Yeah, Steam is not looking out for users. It locks everything behind DRM too.

The "good for users" alternative to Steam is GOG, but it's basically an also-ran in the market.

I have a love/hate relationship with Steam. I love that it "just works" on Linux, but I hate the DRM and lock-in. When I mostly used a PC I'd always favor GOG or some other distribution method, although I did have lots of Steam games as well. Now that I own a Steam Deck - and playing non-steam games is a bit of a pain in the rear (but at least possible) - I find myself buying into the platform even more (which, no doubt, was the entire purpose of the Steam Deck).

There is a easter egg in the stock Android dialer app, that flashes colours when you enter the new emergency services number.
Exactly. I wonder if Stadia had a single gamer on their team. How did they botch it so badly?
I think the original title, "The U.S. Government’s Vast New Privatized Censorship Regime," is more accurate and no more link-baity than yours. The article is about traditional media as well as tech companies and social media.
It's comments like this one that make me wonder whether it's made by a bot account which purpose it is to discredit Android and shape a negative reception, intended to work like anti advertisement. It's not just Android of course, it could happen for any topic.

More likely though that this user just does what any fanboy does - spew FUD on the "other side".

If you now further discuss Android camera quality, you'd just be off-topic.
Peeking at Boom's Wikipedia page - their 1/3 scale "technology demonstrator" test aircraft, which they originally said would fly in 2017, has been changed & pushed back & changed & pushed back... And it still has not managed to even taxi down a runway.

It doesn't much matter what is/isn't possible, or what could/couldn't be economical, if the company & engineers who say they are working to develop it...are not actually capable of shipping even a puny nerfed toy version of their supposed product.

My guess: the RR engineers concluded "maybe it's possible, but these idiots will never achieve it". Then quietly shared that with their colleagues at other engine makers.
If I had a dollar for every article about "the next silicon valley", I would be a VC myself by now...
And despite all of this, Python has generated billions (trillions?) of value, and continues to do so.

Perhaps it's you who is focussed on the wrong things? Maybe some of these issues can be improved over time? Maybe none of those things actually matter in the real world, outside of niche use cases?
Sorry, but because the dissonance is really confusing me: If you genuinely don't want to be using "open source software" and would prefer to pay for stuff, why on earth are you building your app on top of an ancient legacy platform like this?! There are copious proprietary/paid frameworks and toolsets with the sophistication of PHP (which is hardly a high bar). Just buy one of those.

I thought this was going to be an argument about Linux or clang or k8s or React or something. Not... 90's web stacks. No wonder you think open source doesn't work, you're trying to use the stuff open source developers abandoned years ago.
If you make a location unlivable, people won't live there in the future.

The idea is obvious enough that a lot of people are coming up with it on their own once they learn about Many-Worlds.
PyPy very much can handle all of the above cases! You should check out some of their recent papers about unboxing fields in objects. Some things are language semantics (__dict__, etc) but are often faked by proxy objects since most people don't actually care about the dict.
The tv show, of course. There never was a movie and anything to the contrary should be censored heavily, first amendment be damned.
While I am in favour of efforts like the GDPR to protect users data, I wonder if all this anti-bigtech sentiment is actually justified and where it will eventually lead to
Wait, the default in teams is surely not to "undock" the presentation? Its a combined window with participants and presentation/video, and the other window is just the rest of Teams...

But I do agree "undock" is awesome, its the only way to get near-fullscreen on presenations. So in this case there is actually 3 windows...
Gone with the winds? What happens if there is a ‘global terrestrial stilling’
This is a good summary of some of the recent revelations into how far the USG has been pushing into strong-arming online and traditional media outlets alike into suppressing critical speech.

I think it’s interesting how the author tip-toed into tying in the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, where the FBI lied to Facebook to get it suppressed.

It’s a hot potato, but it’s exactly where these efforts lead, from ostensibly “well-meaning and necessary” public health efforts into brazen political coverups.
It is our own design system and every component is custom built. Glad you like it!
> people have the right to financial privacy, but technology shouldn’t be “warrant-proof.”

people aren’t warrant proof, the government is just used to a brief period of time where they could go to intermediaries instead of doing an actual investigation. this is just a reversion to the mean.
lol Facebook is shameless
If light were delayed we would know because the triangulated distance wouldn't match.
Sorry, I'm in quite a hurry (so sorry for the language and lack of ellaboration).

You can create tasks dynamically and you can create them after starting the scheduler. You can use app.session.create_task and pass "func" (Python function) for it or path and func_name if you wish to lazily load the task function (imported only when executing the task). You can also pass a command for this method as well.

And you can create a task that runs on startup (on_startup=True) and create your other tasks using this task. Use main, async or thread as execution. Then you can create other metatasks that create/modify/delete the tasks on runtime with any logic you want. For example, sync them with a database.

I'm planning on doing a proper demo about this at some point.
The irony is that this is being posted in a heavily moderated forum. The rule of BBS, forums, newsgroups, chat rooms, etc has always been and will always be that quality is proportional to the willingness of the mods to wield that ban hammer.

As for the free speech absolutists they are perfectly free to go post whatever nonsense they want on 4chan, 8kun, or Truth Social (heh). The rest of us are free to not go visit those places, and advertisers are free to not run ads there and have their ads associated with content that will tarnish their brand image.
Dude is insanely talented and patient enough to learn new stuff, it's always a pleasure to watch the videos even though they're usually really long.
If they “worked until now” doesn’t that imply that the app ecosystem makes too little use of sanitizers like ASAN? Sanitizers will stomp on deallocated regions, and much much more.
> They found a statistically significant worsening in mental health symptoms, especially depression and anxiety, after the arrival of Facebook:

7% increase in number of students who reported having suffering, at least once during the preceding year, depression so severe that it was difficult for them to function

20% increase in number of students who reported anxiety disorders

2% increase in number of students expected to experience moderate to severe depression

3% increase in number of students experienced impairment to their academic performance due to depression or anxiety
Strict ideology itself is wrong if for no other reason than that reality is not black and white.
Very true. Apple has removed several of my games (all working perfectly fine) because, well, they felt like it:

> Since this app hasn’t been updated within the last three years [...] it has been removed from the App Store
Valve pioneered most of that stuff, just that they sorta let go of the accelerator at some point and let other companies who were initially following their lead surpass them in exploitativeness so theyre not too associated with it nowadays.

Although I suppose its dubious whether real world money gambling (valve) is more or less exploitative than the gambling directly implemented into game design that the rest of the industry took up.
Perhaps that is because Vermont is right next door and it is much prettier - I could definitely imagine someone saying that "more of the US should be like Vermont"!
This basically boils down to ESG. With companies like Blackrock owned Morningstar rating companies on that kind of criteria, there's no way that a company is going to put themselves in a position to be providing engines for this sort of thing.
To solve your problem with Epic games, all you need to do is to find the installation directory of the said game, create a shortcut for it, and voila! A DRM free game!

Remember, do not use Epic's own game shortcuts that the client created for you, since the shortcut path has the Epic client's COM object bound to it.

As a note, this also works for games that's installed from GoG galaxy that requires the client to be up before the game runs.
Isn't setting an alarm a distance from now vs a set time called a "timer"?
Actually, it's the other way around - if they answered it, they wouldn't be credible. The idea that you can't have any reliable knowledge without being omniscient is fundamentally denying the concept of acquiring knowledge, and science is our best process for acquiring knowledge so far.
Why are you replying as if you were a teen cringelord?

It's not a question of who decided that, but because it's a complex book.
And that is also true to pretty much every other religious book in the world, where believers reach to their respective holy texts on a regular basis to study them and have a deeper understanding of their faith.
Meilisearch does not have compatibility with ES API so why asking? The title is " lightweight alternative to Elasticsearch".
sqlite has amalgamated source too. It's used EVERYWHERE. This opinion doesn't seem like it's based on anything valid or real.

Note you get some opportunities for better compiler optimizations when the entire compilation unit is the entire project. In fact, sqlite claims the code runs 5-10% faster when built as an amalgamation (https://www.sqlite.org/amalgamation.html)

Oh wow, I didn't realize those games evolved into cosmetic marketplaces. (I bought TF2 and CS:GO when they were still one-time purchases).

But they're purely cosmetic? That sounds like a wonderful business model for all involved, especially vs the predatory P2W crap that's really infesting the market (especially in mobiles and MMOs). I'd probably also rather than a F2P cosmetics-only game over a buy-once game... if only because that usually implies there will be a proper server farm hosting the games, lessening cheaters or peer to peer hosts with terrible connections.
This looks awesome. It's the perfect example of way too many features for a built in app, which is supposed to be used by the general public, but a wonderful fit for a very specific niche that should be addressed by third party.

I feel you and that's why we need more open source software.
Elon Musk is the richest man in the world, so maybe there's something to this. It does contradict accepted wisdom.

Isn't there a pretty big difference between gambling for cosmetics and gambling for gameplay advantage? The former is like buying clothes... sure, you can spend as much money as you want on them, but it doesn't really affect anyone else. Whereas P2W gambling totally screws up game balance for all the other players because it monetizes the power curve.

I think "better Haskell on JVM" (in contrast to "worse Haskell") is a good identity for Scala to have. (Please note that this is an intentional hyperbole.)

Of course, there are areas where Haskell is stronger than Scala (hint: modularity, crucial for good Software Engineering, is not one of them). And Scala has its own way of doing things, so just imitating Haskell won't work well.

Examples of this "better Haskell" are https://typelevel.org/cats-effect/ and https://zio.dev/ .

All together, Scala may be a better choice for you if you want to do Pure Functional Programming. And is definitely less risky (runs on JVM, Java libraries interop, IntelliJ, easy debugging, etc...).

None of the other languages you mentioned are viable in this sense (if also you want a powerful type system, which rules out Clojure).

I agree that Rust's identity is pretty clear: a modern language for use cases where only C or C++ could have been used before.
I enjoyed your curveball response to this question!

There has to be a low tech solution, like can I just try to breathe in with my mouth closed? Or breathe in through a plastic straw & pinch it? I really prefer calisthenics, I'd imagine the breathing exercises singers do are probably the best.

It's also hard to believe any of the published findings of gimmicky devices like this [1]. Another paper says it doesn't provide any benefit [2], but then I question this paper, they only did 3 days. It takes me about of month of muscle training to really notice any effect. And now I feel I've already gave the POWERBreathe® too much attention then it deserves. ;)

Max, CoFounder of Ditto here.

Super cool to see us on HN! The use cases are for projects, products, enterprises to build collaborative apps that can sync with the internet but fall back to local P2P connections when internet connectivity fails. Furthermore we added offline first as an additional guard for some resiliency.

We help solve a class of apps like:

1. Desk-less worker apps for the enterprise: think people who use mobile apps for the vast majority of their work: pilots, flight attendants, construction, maintenance
2. Retail, inventory warehousing, point of sale systems where being able to communicate between kiosks, service tablets, and display systems quickly even if there are interruptions in service
3. Education: it’s very often parents give their kids phones without a data plan, so their school or learning apps need to be able to collaborate with other students or teachers regardless of connectivity
4. Robotics, agriculture technology, IoT - often these applications have hard requirements to communicate with other local devices without any dependency of the internet

I can keep going!

Again, So happy to see us on HN! Thank you!

The issue here actually has nothing to do with private moderation.

It has to do with the USG lying to platforms that unflattering stories are “Russian disinformation” to get them taken down, or telling platforms they are responsible for killing people for carrying informed scientific debate that goes against the USG approved viewpoint.

The platforms did not want to censor these accounts, they even told the owners they would not be.

But then the Whitehouse came in and said they needed to do more about these specific people, and Biden went on TV and said socials were killing people by carrying these messages.
I concur. I imagine it's for compactness for the blog, but friends don't let friends call unwrap like that. Would've been better to return a Result.
Couldn't Apple's ATT be enforced at a technical level, giving poisoned information such as XPrivacy did in its heydays, or by preventing JS injection in webviews?
Eh, I know, internet literalism and all, but once something becomes deadly enough -- falling out of an airplane, going over Niagara falls, tangling with high voltage power lines -- I'm happy to call it "100% mortality" and chalk up the residue of survivors as "miraculous", instead of getting all "technically it's only 99.7% fatal...".
I was agreeing with you, and adding that even if you have a Twitter account, you would still be likely to miss an update to the tutorial among the author's other Twitter posts.

I think people need to understand the history of Silicon Valley to see why you need an ethos that comes from individuals

Not just a cluster of tech companies and VCs, which is already a high bar

An area needs a concentration of people made wealthy there, who have to be interested in becoming VCs right there. the state needs the same unenforceability of noncompete laws as california at a bare minimum. dumb things have to be heavily funded all the time, repeatedly, with little scrutiny. high profile failures have to occur.

Is this really the main thing ElasticSearch is used for now? In 2016, I perhaps naively chose ElasticSearch (via AWS's managed service) for an actual user-facing search feature. That service is still running, and now I'm looking to move it to self-hosted, but didn't want to actually run ElasticSearch (or more likely now, OpenSearch). So I looked at the ZincSearch home page, and the quoted heading seems odd.
Not much. The article's premise is bunk: that private media is required to ignore the underlying truth-value of the US government's positions and re-derive every public policy position for itself.

It's also completely in tension with one of the oldest traditions of the executive branch, which is calling up whichever executive(s) you'd like and wailing on them a bit. Can you imagine Tablet writing a similar article about all the companies that the previous administration publicly excoriated for failing to comply with their domestic economic agenda?

You can think of two levels of deallocated memory: deallocated just inside the app, and fully deallocated towards the OS. Only the fully deallocated towards the OS will crash.

When you deallocate small amounts of memory, the underlying C library allocator will keep the deallocated memory around and not return it to the OS in case you need a similar sized piece of memory soon.
The fact that this is a problem is probably a sign that every OS should do this from the start so that apps won't be written that...rely on this behavior.
Traveling at the sort of speed we can easily imagine as "fast", say 150km/hr, it'd take 115 years.
This protest is very different from previous protests. Look it up. Women in Iran are just tired of being oppressed and their movement is an embodiment of feminism. I'm an Iranian and unfortunately this protest hasn't received world wide attention in the news. This is a first time women taking the lead in protesting against this tyrannical regime.
Yes, but it's also a threat of further fines in future if they don't stop their shenanigans.
