> rights of an individual to retain the value

Those rights are not a given either. In fact this is a first time I hear those are "rights".

If I pick an apple from a tree using my productive labor, somehow apple doesn't seem to care about my rights and starts to rot.

Are you sure you're not confusing rights with desires?

> Hell, I think the government would be all-for open payment standards as long as they're dollar-based and conform to tax legislation.

The ones that are in favor of that already have open payment systems running (a lot do). If your country does not have one of those nowadays, it's because it's not important for the government.
What if we just like, didn’t use the app?
In theory, we could see DSLR-type devices using the smartphone software and other advantages with better hardware and form factors, that would maintain their advantage. Things like the DJI Ronin.

But the DSLR use-case dictates their business; users are dedicated to the kit and methods they have already cultivated over the years. This is going to impede innovation, because they'll demand innovation on their terms, which the DSLR makers don't have the capital that the smartphone makers have to bring to this to fruition.
I am deleting this comment.
They're just two different ways of approaching risk. The so-called "doers" are taking on much more up-front risk than this type of grassroots attempt. Ultimately the goal is the same.

But what would be the point if major compilers refuse to implement these features? C++ is complex enough that it won't be easy (or even plausible?) for a new interested party to develop a high quality compiler. Is C++ going to become Microsoft's plaything?

Seriously, you don't even have to know programming to contribute. Writing documentation, porting software, trying to boot on real hardware, trying out websites with the web browser, looking for bugs in the user interface... There's no such thing as a barrier to entry with SerenityOS as long as you're motivated to learn.

No see, some guy from Heroku wrote a blog post about comprehensive build artifacts so now that's what we have to do. What don't you understand about comprehensive build artifacts? Maybe we can get on a long, long, long call to discuss how I'm right and you're wrong, I did work at $HUGE_COMPANY after all.

We can't possibly do things the wrong way, no matter how dumb our current practice is.
Folic Acid is generally underrated as a supplement. There are myriad benefits with weak effects including of course benefits in pregnancy, heart disease and stroke and cognitive effects. The downside is high doses (10-100x RDA) produce cancer adverse outcomes. This also seems to be true of B-12.

I wish there was more effort in nutrition science devoted to B-12 and B-9 (folic acid) instead of Vit-D.

What are some examples of answers that the public does not like?
There are already 'everything apps' in the 'western liberal democratic world'. They're just broken up into entities controlled by what are essentially holding companies - Meta/Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp, Microsoft/Github/LinkedIn, etc. Go another level up and you find that all these corporations are tied together by a very similar set of majority shareholders (Blackrock/StateStreet/Fidelity) who also have their fingers in everything from fossil fuels to military procurement to pharmaceuticals and internet/phone providers.

The only real difference with China is that there, the state actors sit at a higher real-power level than the corporate actors, while the situation is essentially reversed in the USA, with politicians and bureaucrats being little more than mid-level managers in the corporate hierarchy.

As far as the claim that Monopoly, the board game, is often held up as a demonstration of capitalism, the word unregulated should be inserted.

Here's a game (I call it Risk-Opoly) that would demonstrate how capitalism actually worked in Europe right before World War One: take a half-dozen Monopoly boards, each representing an individual country/region, and let each game proceed until a clear winner on each board became apparent. Then that winner can buy machine guns, tanks, fuel, artillery, shells, ships and soldiers to attack the other boards. This of course is not the only way Empire-scale wars break out, but I think it matches European/American/Japanese/Russian industrial-era history pretty closely.
I was thinking the same thing- I've seen many mobile performant, web based tuners before, it's a very common personal project. If the intention was to make a web based tuner from the start, Flutter and Rust was a big step down from just using HTML and JS.

I know the trend on HN is to upvote any project with Rust in the title, and to hate on native JS, but projects like this that have to use a bunch of tooling to eventually compile down to JS would have almost always been better just using JS in the first place IMO.

Telegram isn't private. Its secret chats are.
> Visual is part of the package for advertisement, not for scientific/important stuff production

That's where my experience differs.

Knowledge is fractal in nature; I can add more details to a paper ad infinitum. Seeing how big the rendered paragraph or section will be is, to me, a crucial hint that it might be time to stop.

Seeing how far away two mutually dependent concepts appear in the finished product (when you a know a reader will likely have to jump back and forth between them) may also influence my writing. If they're getting too far apart I might have to introduce A, then B, then more details on each, to keep the introductions close together.

Deciding whether certain details are better communicated in the figure, the figure caption, or the main text also depends on the layout.

Knowing how large the section/subsections headings are may influence my choice to use less of them, and group some items into the same section, because I find excessive division into subsections makes things harder to read.

And I'll admit this is weird, but somehow this all applies even though I know a journal is going to reformat and re-typeset my work anyway.

I fear that, even though I write technical (and not advertising) material, you'd probably not want to receive an email from me, lest I use bold font at some point to highlight a key point or something ;-)
There's Akamai, Fastly, Cloudflare, AWS and Googles CDNs and what else? To be able to serve an everything app to enough people for it to be relevant, the web platform, whilst clearly having a lot more choice than mobile or PC platforms, is not necessarily the panacea of liberty.

Yikes. Adding the artist to the search yields 0 results, and since it only loads a number of results until you scroll to the bottom of the page, I could not find the track I wanted.

I wonder what the viewing experience would be like if it were shot in 48fps, but then most alternating frames were dropped so it still felt like 24fps, except for certain key visual sequences - action, big effects shots, etc. You could even transition between the two frame rates over a few seconds.

So very much this. The reason we're using OAuth in the first place is that we're leaving authentication to the big companies that know how to do it well.

US vs ROTW
Well, I can't imagine any "everything app" that wouldn't have those flaws.

Anyway, most people fled Facebook because they didn't want a single identity linked to every kind of thing they post. That's why the alternatives keep their users even when they are owned by Facebook.

Also, FB wasn't first-to-market.
Show HN: Minimal, no-JS web forum software
Hello HN!

I've found my SQL knowledge to be lacking, so I made a project that uses SQLite as a backend.

As it is intended for self-hosting I aim to make it easy to set up and maintain. Getting it up & running takes no more than a few commands (bar setting up a proxy such as nginx, which is out of scope).

I've set up a "demo" site at https://forum.agreper.com/ if you want to try out the UI.

Excess time pressure is behind so many problems. It's the thing I'm always most concerned to manage when I start a new gig. That said, shipping early and often is one of the best ways to mitigate excess time pressure, because it helps build trust between stakeholders and the team. The longer the release cycle, the more likely it is that business stakeholders will get antsy and start doing harmful things.

The Swiss government seems to be one of the few exceptions to "taxation is theft" because everyone seems pretty happy with where their tax dollars go. Must be nice.
I mean it's nice to have those things but you make it sound like it would be impossible without, which is unrealistic... cash worked (and continues to work) for a very veeeery long time and has mostly the same disadvantages. You can still use cash in most places for a taxi (some cities in China being the major exception where they will outright reject you without wechat).

More generally speaking, fraud is not prevented by digitally traceable transactions. It's still something that happens and businesses have to accept as a cost for ease of use: see "the optimal level of fraud is non zero".
Web is not an app. Chrome is, and the dangers in this article apply neatly to a single-browser market.
That is true (that Flutter builds natively on all platforms it supports, and controls every pixel on the screen, unlike React Native and similar).

But I suspect these people were trying the web version of this (pretty neat, IMO) app.

Flutter does build for the web but then it does (of course) use web technologies to deliver the UI. To get the native experience on iOS, you'd have to download the iOS version from the App Store or something like that.
It's crazy that this got passed amid, you know, being outright invaded, but I guess it's a good sign of optimism and probably could be a neat opportunity in the eventual post-war rebuilding effort.

Now there also was the matter of an alternate specialized treatment group for people exactly in this attack by the university professor, treatment she refused. Additionally the reports tend to be spun to make it seem as if she outran the bomb - she was actually only in the same building far away from the blast.

Most importantly the duration of treatment was too short, she was young and we do not have information on whether modalities other than drugs were used, but if they were, they were too short term. And these drugs that have as black box side effects iatrogenic suicidality.

I believe standards of care were not adhered to. The two physicians writing the opinion were duped or negligent. Unfortunately in mental health cases a lot relies on the medical history which tends to be spotty, and reports from the patient.

Practically, there’s little difference. But as they say, naming things is one of the two hard problems in computer science and I’d rather avoid it wherever possible when the name inevitably doesn’t add any meaning, and arguably obscures it.

U.S. Secretary of the Interior: Satellites Will Help Us Fight Climate Change
Some of the reason why market makers will pay for order flow from Robinhood is that they don't believe retail orders will move the market because retail investors don't have any useful information about the stock.

On the other hand, market makers don't want to trade against, say, Elon Musk buying or selling Tesla because they assume that kind of person knows something and they try to make them pay through the nose for liquidity. That is why people like that might announce well ahead of time the schedule that they plan to sell stock to diversify or raise funds and why there is a special sector of the industry to help move large blocks of stock, convincing buyers that they are not being exploited.
I read a lot of these posts on stable diffusion, midjourney, etc., and I don’t want to fall into the classic “I don’t think this is ready yet” camp, but one thing an Architect will be able to do really well which these tools won’t is make a kitchen that is actually usable. I mean, this thing is basically a corrupted Pinterest of kitchen ideas with doors and drawers intersecting, beams that make no sense, and flooring that looks menacing. And until we have AGI I don’t think our program sophistication will be able to iron out these “uncanny valley” isms that seem built into every aI image generation tool.

Now I know that this tool is just a “starting point” for using as ideas, but I have seen way more fabulous (and sane) kitchen designs en mass on houzz, dezeen, basically any online blog. The technology is cool, but it seems limited. As in we can only get weird amalgams of human concepts. All this to say, I work with architects professionally, and I do not see this as something that will cause their field concern in the near to mid term. These programs cannot make drawings with structural suggestions, floor plans for the layout they produce, or anything else that a person pays an architect for. Just my two cents

With the loss of the community grocery store, it seems the author is working on replacing the “community”, and not yet the “grocery store”.

I too am wondering if there is a way to make incremental progress on getting groceries here, without needing to get enough momentum to build a giant store.

Maybe there are 10 most common fruits/vegetables, and the coop with the existing 400 members can bulk purchase those? CSA models ostensibly seem a viable alternative.
We do measure well-being and happiness, and the statistics are very interesting:

https://ourworldindata.org/happiness-and-life-satisfaction

Some highlights:

-National income and national happiness are different, but are positively correlated

-Average levels of happiness have been rising internationally for decades, with the notable exception of the united states

-While economic inequality has been rising in countries like the US, happiness inequality has been falling. From a happiness perspective, our lives are less unequal than they were decades ago.

I sort of understand the downvote for citing Gruber (I'm no fan of his Apple adoration, either - although I don't see it's relevance in this context). But Twitter??

I have Twitter redirect automatically to Nitter in all my browsers, but even ignoring the technical shortcomings of the platform, it's mostly such a sewer of garbage these days, I honestly think Gruber was right in this case.

Vintage Tech Humor: Unknown Technology Definitions
While archiving an ancient USENET group, I came across this bit of crass humor from 2003.

SEX

/seks/ [Sun Users' Group & elsewhere] 1. Software EXchange. A technique invented by the blue-green algae hundreds of millions of years ago to speed up their evolution, which had been terribly slow up until then. Today, SEX parties are popular among hackers and others (of course, these are no longer limited to exchanges of genetic software). In general, SEX parties are a Good Thing, but unprotected SEX can propagate a virus. See also pubic directory.

2. The mnemonic often used for Sign EXtend, a machine instruction found in the PDP-11 and many other architectures. The RCA 1802 chip used in the early Elf and SuperElf personal computers had a "SEt X register" SEX instruction, but this seems to have had little folkloric
impact.

DEC's engineers nearly got a PDP-11 assembler that used the "SEX" mnemonic out the door at one time, but (for once) marketing wasn't asleep and forced a change. That wasn't the last time this happened, either. The author of "The Intel 8086 Primer", who was one of the original designers of the Intel 8086, noted that there was originally a "SEX"
instruction on that processor, too. He says that Intel management got cold feet and decreed that it be changed, and thus the instruction was renamed "CBW" and "CWD" (depending on what was being extended). The Intel 8048 (the microcontroller used in IBM PC keyboards) is also missing straight "SEX" but has logical-or and logical-and instructions "ORL" and "ANL".

The Motorola 6809, used in the UK's "Dragon 32" personal computer, actually had an official "SEX" instruction; the 6502 in the Apple II with which it competed did not.
British hackers thought this made perfect mythic sense; after all, it was commonly observed, you could (on some theoretical level) have sex with a dragon, but you can't have sex with an apple.

Condom

1. The protective plastic bag that accompanies 3.5-inch microfloppy diskettes. Rarely, also used of (paper) disk envelopes. Unlike the write protect tab, the condom (when left on) not only impedes the practice of SEX but has also been shown to have a high failure rate as drive mechanisms attempt to access the disk - and can even fatally frustrate insertion.

2. The protective cladding on a light pipe.

3. "keyboard condom": A flexible, transparent plastic cover for a keyboard, designed to provide some protection against dust and programming fluid without impeding typing.

4. "elephant condom": the plastic shipping bags used inside
cardboard boxes to protect hardware in transit.

Programming Fluid

<jargon> (Or "wirewater") Coffee, unleaded coffee (decaffeinated), Cola, or any caffeinacious stimulant. Many hackers consider these essential for those all-night hacking
I wonder how it reliably captures the key input if notepad is the window with focus.
> If enough people use a word, it’s a word.

Whether or not it is a word is not at issue. Any group of letters forms a word. "Hsyxff" is a word I just made up. The point is "irregardless" is an incorrect word, and no matter how many say wrong is right, it can never change the fact that wrong is still wrong.

> Many words were formed as mistakes, “apron” and “tornado” for example.

These words are not self-contradictory, nor were they formed "as mistakes."

> Dictionaries follow how people are actually speaking, not the other way around.

Dictionaries do not specify which words are spoken, they merely list words in alphabetical order along with their definitions. Dictionaries contain many words that are no longer spoken, such as overmorrow, lunting and groak, counter-examples that prove your assertion wrong.
I’m just learning helix, but I believe you can move to the end of the line with gl, and i’m sure there’s an equivalent for the beginning.
I've read that it is being considered, though the issue is that it spooks the suppliers and ultimately there must be suffering to be able to make the most of the limited supply and to motivate exploring alternatives. If the government would just paper over the shortage nobody would change their behavior.

The same goes for climate change too, because the free market currently does paper over the environmental cost of production, nobody have to change their behavior, and soon our planet will be inhabitable.
Thank you for that! :)
