> I am a former Apple employee but this has given me no special privileges or advantages at all. Perhaps it has given me some particular skill at diving into header files to figure out a solution to a technical problem.

It’s definitely the latter. Being a former employee or a longtime developer on Apple platforms gives you a ton of background knowledge. Apple’s frameworks generally have a lot of consistency with each other (probably because of how they do review of new APIs internally), so once you know several frameworks you can easily pick up another. People without that background struggle, even if they’re experienced developers on other platforms.

I experience this myself in the other direction when I try to write stuff for Windows. I’m also ex-Apple so I know the tools and I know where to look to find out what I don’t yet know on the Mac, and worst case scenario I can dig in and reverse engineer Apple stuff that does what I want to do pretty easily. On Windows, I’m just a lot slower and I have to do a lot more hunting around to find out what I need. Generally when I do a new feature that needs platform specific code on both Windows and Mac, I do the Mac side first so I can validate the idea and get something working, and then I do the Windows side second so I’m not having to do exploratory work there, it’s just a matter of trying to find the equivalent functionality and hooking it up. I hear from a lot of Windows folks that they struggle to code on the Mac and they blame Apple for this, but really it’s more just the fact that they have a ton more background knowledge on Windows and they discount the value of this.
Folks will naturally ask, "How did you get to this point?"

One insight into successfully walking away from addictions is recognizing that this thing (e.g. alcohol, cigarettes) is unambiguously poisonous. "When I [take/do] this, it will take more than it gives."

Hard to articulate, but it happens when the scales that painted the substance with redeeming qualities falls from your eyes. Sorta like discovering you've entertained a damaging relationship for too long. However much worth this person has, being in a relationship with them is not good for you (or others, usually).
I always stay 10 years behind the curve, not by choice but financial means. My pc the most powerful and comfortable device I have for about $200 of scavenged parts. It can almost scrub 4k video well and play some games, anyway, great bang for buck.
I struggle to see how this is different than the real world of strangers. If you go out anywhere you are around people. Some you find attractive some that may find you attractive. Yet, you probably never even speak to each other so visibility isn't really the problem.

The fact it’s a dating app, just means you have some expectations. You expect you may get a date. But you may not. You expect those other people are real profiles. They may not be. You expect those people that you do match with actual intend to have a conversation/go on a date. They may not have that intention.

If I’ve learned anything from the younger-than-me generations, they like having Likes. It’s attention. It’s meaningless by most measures but gives them some endorphins or something. I’ll probably never get it fully but I can completely see how people would have a Tinder profile for no reason other than to get a confidence boost when they got a Like/Match. I realize that’s a broad stoke but I continue to observe it over and over.
Can you elaborate or give some context? I know nothing about this sub or it's history.
> BUT if no one's complaining, is there an issue?

Maybe no-one dares to complain, because it is easily perceived as racism.
The point is that the war would end immediately since both countries want to be part of NATO and Ukraine would get its territory back.
Interesting. If that was truly the case and was widespread in the 80s, it died with the eighties, as in the late nineties companies came back to truly meritorous hiring that doesn't care about personality (i.e. whiteboarding/leetcoding people to death, or doing weird pseudo-IQ question such as "how many gas stations are there in Manhattan"). Why couldn't women come back in then? The argument that they couldn't, because the field was stereotypically dominated by men by then is not convincing, because the reverse wasn't true (i.e. men moved into women dominated IT in the 80s without a problem, against the field stereotypes that it's for women).
> CSS is rated to 200A

The current CCS standard is 500 amps and up to 1000 volts, so in principle up to 500 kW.

Typically the fastest CCS charger you'll see these days is 350 kW.

ABB's newer chargers are up to 360 kW: https://insideevs.com/news/583774/abb-installed-first-terra-...

Alpitronic's new charger is up to 400 kW: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6931968...

Zerova's future chargers will be 480 kW: https://newatlas.com/automotive/zerova-prototype-10-minute-e...

You need an 800+ volt EV and a battery chemistry capable of taking the faster charge rate to take full advantage of the maximum kilowatts offered by these chargers. A 400 volt EV will charge at up to around 200 kW on a CCS charger (500 amps times 400 volts). The area under the charge curve tends to matter more than the peak charge rate.
It would kind of make sense if you could "open" the relay when you need to 2fa, and then you close it again after. With this usepattern you would only need one alias, that would be closed 99.9% of the time.
This is our (SimulaVR's) vision, basically. Our target is to have pixel density/optical quality and comfort good enough to work comfortably.

The pixel density is there (and better than quest pro), and we just need to finish the comfort features -- passthrough, mechanical comfort, integrated host.

Nitpick, but it's not so much the Bitcoin crash as it is Ethereum switching away from proof-of-work (GPU) mining.
Have you asked gig workers their opinions on this issue? You should, because many of them aren't asking to be classified as w-2/FT employees. They enjoy the flexibility these gig jobs give them. They often have other side hustles and pursuits, and don't want to spend 100% of their working time for Uber or DoorDash. This isn't some grassroots effort, this is being pushed by politicians and union organizers (more members = more $$).
Every successful technology has had legions of naysayers. Cars. Video games. Graphical operating systems. iPhones. Solid state drives. Electric cars.

But that's not what I'm talking about here.

I'm talking about the lack of folks enthusiastic about VR. All of the technologies I just named also had a groundswell of excitement around them; people who saw the promise.

I guess we'll see how well this comment ages in the same time period.

Sure, write it down.

I'm reminded of the "hype" around 3D movies and TVs about a decade ago. Remember how that was going to be the next big thing? 3D Blu-rays and stuff?

But you literally never heard people excited about that tech at ground level. From geeks to normies the reaction was a giant yawn. That's what this whole VR thing feels like.
Based off a casual perusal of almost any news site without an ad blocker, yes. Yes they will.

Based off some scroll positions on Facebook, 80% might be a bit low.

As a side note, it's a quote from a fictional character that's (sadly only slightly) exaggerating a real problem for effect. It's not intended to be taken as a gospel truth.
It reminds me when my childhood friend's parents moved to LA so he could attend an inner-city high school so that his scores from a lower ranking school were more heavily weighted for college admissions. They were wealthy immigrants from the middle east.
> curious why you focus on whites despite Asians being far more overrepresented, by the way

Asians are often referred to as "white" or "lily-white" in the context of hiring and college admissions.
Whether you are getting a raise/promotion or not is determined by your manager during the year and finalized behind closed doors in calibration meetings. A handful of paragraphs in your performance review at the end of the year aren't really going to change that outcome.

> So, if everyone hates performance reviews why do we do them?

A formal performance review process is a requirement from legal, nothing more. The only part of it that actually matters is clicking the button stating that you have read and acknowledged your manager and peer feedback. That way if you sue the company later they have a paper trail defending themselves.
I used to run a VPN service, and at the time the only legal requirement was that you register your DMCA contact and that you make a best-effort attempt to deliver the request.

I forwarded those requests to the user's email address if the user was identifiable, but since I didn't track anything I couldn't really deliver them. That was it.

You might want to check what the law actually says. I don't think there's a lot of case law around DMCA requests yet so the shape of the law probably hasn't changed much, but I don't pay attention to it so I'm probably wrong.
I appreciate the sentiment, but the expectation that Russia will pay war reparations in full, at this point, is also hilarious/insane...

Yeah I actually had a Ubiquiti Edgerouter doing this but I was never confident enough it was set up properly, hence the other solution.

Let me be the first. I would like to note my formal complaint at apple put ads on my expensive iPhone.

"take it off when you don't want it" obviously refers to after you're stopped working. I thought the comparison to glowing rectangles immediately after would hint at this, considering that you're basically required to stare at glowing rectangles to do most white collar jobs. Yet, nobody is upset or calls this a dystopia, aside from the standard anti-work rhetoric of having to work in the first place.

Who said puncture holes? Ground holes also exist you know.
> Asynchronous IMAP support ensures the UI never gets locked up by a flaky network, as mutt often does

Seems to have been made with flaky connections in mind, would be weird if there wasn't a way to recover.

But on that note, isn't it local/offline-first? The first feature that comes in mind for a email client is "download all mail to store locally so I can browse/search them anytime", is that not how this client works?

How many bits of information was there in the prompt. If it is was a very small amount, this is mind blowing!

Being trained off Steve's autobiography dampens how impressive this is, but the grammatical structure and flow of sentences is beyond belief. We did see this in GPT3. But the responses seem more coherent, probably because of the source material- Jobs biography!

Can you load your own OS? Can you use your own VR client to connect to VR spaces? As mentioned in another comment, sideloading is against the ToS and clearly not at any kind of parity with Facebook-blessed app distribution channels.
There are many ways for the civilized nations to extract payments (or at the very least, subtract value) from an wannabe superpower that's actually more of a glorified petrol station, especially if we are patient and committed about it. I think we will be.
I do get your point and I like the idea in theory but neither country is willing at this point to compromise or give up what they perceive as their territory. They have even stopped pretending to have peace talks. In my opinion the only way peace talks might resume would be for all countries to stop providing resources to Ukraine and Russia.
I will openly admit there are gangs of moderators that control the top 20+ subs on there. I got kicked out of several just because I posted in a "covid-is-BS" sub that they were all idiots. Just because I was even -posting- in one of the subs that ultimately got banned, I got banned. I wrote 4 or 5 of those "cross pollinating" moderators and told them that it was horseshit and they were acting like babies & cowards and not sane moderators, as they hadn't even read my comment. one of them replied and did say it was BS and unblocked account in like 3 of the subs that he was a moderator of.
It directly responds to the comment even without the quoted sentence.
I didn't see this as an answer, but use Tor (: It has the side benefit that it's harder to discover your service(s) on the wider Internet.
Maybe, it could be implemented as such, but it was mostly just a drag; it’s not like your workload got reduced because of being in the program, so following all the bullshit without reducing your actual performance would mean at best reduce your time to breath and decompress during work, or at worse, having to do extra time.
No, a country is nothing without its people.

The West is still actively interfering with the Middle East. It has not stopped.
> It's been 3 years since Red Hat said x11 is going into "hard maintenance mode" but here we are.

It is in hard maintenance mode though (and 3 years is not that long). Although X11-the-protocol isn't going anywhere, X11-the-server has no real future. Mind you, "maintenance mode" does not mean "abandoned", but it also means that it's not really going to evolve and improve - it will effectively just stay where it is for people who may still have to rely on it. Changes in Xorg codebases are very rare these days and most of them are related to XWayland.
Page doesn't seem to load for me on Firefox - seeing a bunch of CORS errors in the console.
I don't want to dismiss the effort and innovation that went into Quest Pro. I respect the team for innovating on so many aspects of the headset at once.

Although for the $1400+ price range, I would love to see some "next-gen" headsets with much higher FOV and pixel densities (even if we'd have to use foveated rendering), as well as 120Hz+ refresh rates. Perhaps the tech specs section on the product page is as spartan as it is because many people have been waiting for the next generation headset for a while?

Do we know if the Quest Pro has done anything to address the screen-door effect of the display seen in Quest 2? I understand that PPI is slightly higher, but has anything else been done?
That's a pretty good idea, I always say that there is nothing regulation can't accomplish. This is yet another thing the market failed to solve as the manufacturers are not incentivized to build security into their products. Millions of IoT devices are being sold with virtually no security, because the customers don't know the difference.
Only some countries have visa problems. Canadians, for example, probably fall under the TN/Nafta visa system which can get them over the border relatively quickly (although not on the clock for permanent residency). I think there are similar programs for there Western Hemisphere countries (there are in Canada, for example). Canadians are probably ignored by the "voting public has difficulty with any immigration" as they're probably seen as part US anyway.

Western Europeans, while requiring a visa, probably are also agreeable due to melanin content and similar social frameworks. Central and Eastern Europeans might be more palatable due to more-similar political philosophy to the aforementioned group. Asians, however, have issues in various areas and Chinese in particular are a sensitive issue right now.

So, if you want to staff more cheaply there's probably visa issues that will get in the way. If you want to staff with a bit more cost, it might be more straightforward. Depends on what you're looking to hire. The other option, I guess, would be to develop a tax nexus outside the us to circumvent both US salary scales and immigration.
I have a personal app that I have been using for years that stopped working last week or the week before. I actually thought Streak was folding and started hacking a replacement for my use case.

Streak was one of the app I recommended most to indie entrepreneurs.
Glad to hear you're still standing !
I grew up in the Boston area, but I didn't make this connection! Wakefield borders where I grew up, but I don't recall the others being super nearby (maybe they're south of Boston, since I'm not as familiar with that area, or maybe they're further west and I have an overly narrow idea of what "near Boston"means due to being so close)
Ah ok, so different name resolution rules apply on the left and right sides of the operator?

On the left side, "item" resolves to the "item" in inner scope (that is declared on the same line). On the right side it resolves to the "item" in outer scope.

Then I understand what's happening though I'm still not convinced it's sane behaviour. I would expect all identical names in a single scope to refer to the same variable.
That's really surprising, thank you for following up long after this post has been flagged. That snippet certainly shows the refresh token is accessible client-side.

I remain shocked that an auth company CEO would push a solution without HttpOnly protection. This would not get by our security audits, and Auth0 and many open source tools I've used do not have the same limitation (Auth0 sets it in the SDK rather than a proxy).

OWASP and NIST are aligned that HttpOnly cookie should be used:

You're missing the obvious answer, it's a zero sum game. If a company pays top of market, they can absolutely find enough qualified candidates any way they wish to subdivide them (by race/gender/background etc).

The rest of the companies won't be able to however, and now they look bad so they either have to (possibly) lower their standards or have bad PR.

Ask HN: Best source to learn home renovations
I'm trying to find the best source that explains clearly how to do specific tasks such as replacing a toilet, bathtub, tile work, electric gate, garbage disposal, countertop, septic considerations, when to hire out because the tools are unique and not worth it, etc.

I know this is a generic question to an extent, and that the level of knowledge of the person learning will dictate the source. However, that's why I reached out to this community. I feel pretty good doing most work, including wood work, with a clear set of schematics or direction. Unfortunately, most sources I find are a surface-level single page description and, for lack of a better term, click-baity. I want the engineer's resource for home everything.

And if one doesn't exist - that may be my next web-project.
I think every job has this issue. Of course it's anecdotal, but I know lots of people who experienced the same thing with jobs outside the IT sphere.

You'll never find a job which only includes activities you love. Heck, that'd be hard to experience even for a hobby!

But you can try to understand what you do and don't like. Then steer your career accordingly. With this approach it should get better one step at a time. Don't stall in something you don't like, try to explore new activities and don't be too scared of them. You'll eventually find something you like more (or, you dislike less!).
Ok, I've unbanned it. Thanks to both of you.

>Except that there wasn't lower demand across the whole economy, only very specific industries

Obviously some industries weren't impacted. Many were though. The GDP also declined.

You can probably say the same about every recession.

>Most businesses were not shut down

I never said they were. I've seen some estimates at 200,000 businesses. A huge number of businesses went out of business as well.

>Lots of businesses continued running, and had increased demand.

And lots of businesses who continued running had decreased demand.

Even if the demand remained the same or increased they might not be able to meet the requirements like outside eating or distancing which would limit their revenues.

>Perhaps the perception it has more to do with who signed the legislation (a Republican President and Senate) than whether it was actually "socialist" (it was)?

It is not socialist. Socialist can mean either state controlled or worker controlled. This is corporate welfare.

Just to be clear. I am not defending this policy. I am strictly saying that this is more justifiable then paying off student loans since the government literally shut many businesses and put other rules on businesses.
There is a large multi-million dollar industry supporting DEI now. If there are people benefiting from racism continuing, it's people that work in this industry.
> This isnt quite like phrenology, but the mentation seems approximate.

Really? Phrenology was utter bullshit - a methodology based on genetics can answer some questions correctly, and others within statistical bounds.

Incorporating understanding of epigenetics would improve the model, but the failure to do so does not invalidate the model completely.

As far as morphology is concerned, sex hormone levels are probably a significantly more important unconsidered factor.

You're right that moderation comments are off topic, as well as tedious and repetitive. (They're even more tedious to write than they are to read, if that helps at all.) And yes, they sometimes break the site guidelines in other ways too. I try to keep them neutral but I don't always get that right, and am happy to take suggestions for improvement.

Nevertheless, your comments have been breaking the site guidelines badly—it's not a close call! The reason I post replies like I did here is to give people that information so they have a chance to change; that seems better than just banning an account outright. I'm sorry if it came across as a threat. My intention is to persuade you to use HN in the intended spirit—I don't want to ban you.
