Technically, whoever has the majority in the parliament can literally do anything, including introducing the laws that require photo ID for voting (in a country without a mandatory photo ID) [0], or that anyone who protested in past five years are required to wear an electronic tag [1]. Or, because why not, to get rid of the election process - completely or partially.

Only Firefox is shipped as snap on default install.

But Firefox packaged by Ubuntu was always gimped as they didn't enable certain optimizations like PGO/LTO so official tar.gz from Mozilla was superior anyway. (They fixed this recently for snap). I think it's similar for Chromium.

So I didn't use snaps and I never been in situation that I needed to use snap.

Is this really a problem that can be fixed by an app? It seems more like a human behavior issue to me. There is a filter, and people are trying to get through it. It's adversarial, and automating the process makes it easier to game, which is why those solutions have not been adopted.
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic. Twitter had RSS support and killed it about a decade ago in pursuit of their strategy to grow by hurting the third party ecosystem that had grown around Twitter. I still find that decision to be disappointing.

Some RSS readers support following Twitter accounts, but they use the third party app API. I personally follow Twitter accounts in NewsBlur.

When it does support it, probably very well. iPads could support editing and playing back multiple simultaneous 4K video streams long before desktop Macs could due to the huge bandwidth between cpu, memory and gpu of A series chips. M chips dialed that up to 11.

As to your storage concerns USB-C iPads, apart from having up to 2TB of internal storage and up to 16 GB of memory, support external drives just as well as any laptop. The time when high end iPads had below low end desktop specs is long gone.

Canonical really showed their colors with Snap I think. The base concept is obviously one desired by many users, as evidenced by the existence of alternatives like Flatpak and AppImage which both(?) predate it, not to mention ROX AppDirs, GNUStep Application Bundles, and a few others.

But Canonical insists on their own implementation which is entirely controlled by them. Only they have a Snap repo, they follow the hated Windows model of forced updates, etc.

Someday I think Ubuntu will have to give up Snaps to remain relevant and switch to (probably) Flatpak, but they're going to lose a lot of users in the mean time.

A tiny minority of people ruin things like this for everyone, and the US doesn’t have the political will to deal with them (they likely need involuntary commitment to mental institutions).

When I lived in SF, I couldn’t believe the amount of trash on the street. How can so many people litter so much? Then one day, I happened to witness a homeless guy taking all the trash out of every trash can on the street and just dumping them.

That one guy was undoing a week of effort by thousands of people to keep things clean of litter. That kind of behavior should be considered a serious offense, but no one cares, about either the guy or the trash. Have a paper straw! That will fix it.
Aside from the non-linear animation (NLA) tools, which are pretty mature, Blender's video editing is pretty close to an actual feature since 3.2.0's Video Sequencer quality-of-life improvements.[1]

Video Sequencer docs: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/3.3/video_editing/introdu...

Compositor docs: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/3.3/compositing/index.htm...

It's still clearly built to help animators tie together renders, with most of the actual "editing" happening in the NLA tools. But it's also not the hack/kludge experience that it was in the 2.x series.

You don't have to use Snap at all. I've been using latest Ubuntu for a few years and I just uninstall it after every major upgrade.

I do use flatpak for a lot of stuff, but it's better than Snap in many ways: it's faster, you can upgrade while apps are running, it allows third party repos, etc...

Steve Mconnell dispelled many of the misconceptions around project planning and estimation around twenty years ago. Worth a read.
VR can provide those things (eye contact maybe with Meta Quest Pro, we'll see if it works)
Let's talk about the reality of software development. Some projects are easy to estimate, especially in domains a developer has tackled before. As an example, consider a developer who has written five static pages who's asked to estimate how long it'll take them to write a sixth. Think of these projects as a well-defined path through the meadow to success. However, some projects are closer to crossing glacier for the first time; you never know when that fluffy bit of snow on the ground is hiding a crevasse of challenges.

While it may be true, saying "it'll be done when it's done" isn't useful. All tasks involve some aspect of uncertainty. Coming up with an at least half-way decent estimate requires a team to break down the problems they're facing into smaller chunks that can be estimated. This is a useful exercise when it comes to prioritizing projects, budgeting, and go/no-go decisions.

There are many ways in which estimation as an exercise can be corrupted. Some people, particularly those who haven't written software themselves, treat all estimates as accurate. In their mind, that "I guess 3 months" estimate a developer gave quickly turns into "I can 100% deliver this to you fully tested, with all of the additions you added along the way in 3 months". This over-indexing often leads to the situation where a developer is disciplined for not meeting expectations, even though they tried their hardest to do so. Some people don't like the estimates they are presented with, so they seek out a lower estimate. They are then shocked when the project takes longer.
I read it as "Google having control was bad, but Google had been using that control to stop very bad things, so in practical terms this is actually bad news."

Many truths are admitted in a downturn. The cost of the cloud is that it clogged young engineers' brains with knowledge of multiple proprietary systems that are incompatible with each other, not open source, and bound to become useless knowledge as soon as the cloud companies ditch their offerings to chase the next profitable thing. That's why open systems and standards, despite their imperfection, are so much more valuable

It's exactly the same difficulty. Bandwidth is bandwidth, bytes are bytes. The only suggestion I've seen where HTML/CSS/JS might be relevant is using JS for client-side probing, and if Cloudflare is indeed injecting arbitrary JS into HTML pages it serves then that's utterly horrifying and is a problem in and of itself.

other comment mentioning that "Ambani’s Reliance co will launch search next month." is not realistic. I mean even Bing is not able to capture significant market share of Google after all these years.

> Google forbidding Indian telcom companies and Chinese smartphone manufactures from installing adwarecrap has made the ultra-cheap smartphone experience somewhat tolerable for hundreds of millions of people.

however, this comment is also related to Ambani’s Jio (Subsidiary of Reliance) are planning to launch Android devices. And mind it, Jio is one of the largest telecom provider in India with the blessing of ruling party. Jio also have suits of all kind of applications like chat, payment, audio streaming like Spotify, and what not, etc. which is less of utility app and can be use as surveillance system for the government in the future.

India is heading towards government system like deadly mix of Russia in terms of democracy and China in terms of surveillance system (look at the recent telecom act amendment proposed by government in last month. Basically it can force any VoIP services such as WhatsApp to verify user identity.)

Current government was not approving WhatsApp license for UPI for years until after WhatsApp decided to invest in Jio [https://techcrunch.com/2020/06/24/india-approves-facebooks-5...] At that time few peoples were discussing that this investment is nothing but to bribe government and/or Jio to get UPI license. Now WhatsApp got that permission [https://techcrunch.com/2022/04/13/whatsapp-permitted-to-exte...]
AUR? Is that Arch User Repository (just googled it up) or something else?
https://archive.ph/e3ace
Meanwhile I've had to make changes to hand-rolled version comparison code in multiple systems because the original developers didn't account for the second segment of the version being greater than 9.

I'm absolutely not saying that you should have used a library, but pointing out the other side of the problem. If they had used an existing library to handle the versions, it wouldn't have had this issue. And test cases wouldn't help here because if they didn't think to code for multiple digits in the second spot, they likely wouldn't have thought to test for it.

There's enough benefits and drawbacks to library vs roll-your-own that I don't rigidly stick to one way or the other.

Sure. I just mean that if you didn’t know better, you might conclude from the parent comment that the Varangian guard were geographically based in Rome.
My experience is that the average npm-based app has significantly more (and smaller) dependencies than a similarly-sized Ruby or Python app, even before factoring in that npm permits using multiple versions of the same dependency at once. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it results in a somewhat different set of issues.
I use OpenSUSE Tumbleweed which is also rolling release, and the one thing that bugs me is that sometimes your tools are so cutting edge that it makes it hard to get older stuff. For example it's super easy to get python 3.10 working in Tumbleweed but super hard to get python 3.6 working.

I needed specifically Python 3.6 to test something, and man that was hard to get working in Tumbleweed. First of all, it is not available in standard repos or pre-built on python's website. Second of all, downloading 3.6 source and building it fails because (apparently) the GCC version I have is too new and creates problems with the `-O3` flag passed during building. So now I have to install an older version of GCC that plays nice with python 3.6 source code...

Eventually I just said "screw it" and used the docker python:3.6 image. Not quite as convenient as having a native python3.6, but "good enough". Not sure what I would do if that image became unavailable.

Of course the difference is vast, I think you could compare one part of NYC with NYC even and end up with vastly different ideas of trash. And that's kinda what I am going on about; the trash under highways in some part of the city is a meaningless metric.

You're banned, but not shadowbanned. We told you we were banning you and why: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24797166

On HN, shadowbanning (i.e. banning accounts without telling them) is nearly always for accounts that don't have much posting history—either spam accounts or ones that show signs of having abused HN in the past, such as serial trolls. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32040389 has links back to a bunch of longer explanations, if anyone wants more.

p.s. After a quick look, I'd say HN's system is working reasonably well in your case because most of your good comments are getting vouched for by users, which unkills them, and most of your bad (for HN) comments are rightfully staying killed. There are cases of banned accounts that shouldn't stay banned, but this isn't one of them.

It's one thing to be able to see what's going on under the hood. It's another being able to change what's going on under the hood. And it's a third thing not having that change you just made get stomped on, or interfere with the next great release of the product.

Even potentially more difficult is getting your change accepted by the software vendor to where it's now incorporated in to the production product.

I mean, this is nothing new, this happens with open source projects all the time, but it can be a difference in scope depending on the level that your company actually relies on some product for their operations.
Make your competition share all of their work while you don't have to.

Can't your competitor then just release their contributions as AGPL? Of course, you're free not to accept their contributions, but under the AGPL you can no longer merge their contributions back into your commercial product without having to share all of your work too.

(Yes, usual caveats about the scope of "the work" apply. But that applies just as much to your competitors as to you)

It's not returned in revenue. Nobody has even the faintest idea about what is the effect on non-consolidated services and goods.

They could do that anyway by putting up the "Checking your browser before accessing" page and redirecting to whatever file was being accessed. There's precisely zero need to outright modify the HTML files being served to inject such checks.
It's easy to install unsigned apps on Android, but not being on the Play Store severely limits your reach, since many people only check there for apps instead of searching on the open web.
The only possible value over the last iteration is if they cleaned house and the new team manages to be more permissive than the old one. I'd much rather have on-prem, but the sad fact is that for cloud I just need a signed check. For on-prem I also need buy-in from other divisions before I can even start experimenting with a new service.

OK, iPad Pro has something like 4k-5k video camera, which produces a lot of RAW data anyway (assuming software can access RAW feed with some lossless compression applied), so the problem is still there unless you want to prepare videos with ugly artifacts from compression.

Okay, sorry, I made some assumptions that were wrong. I think if your therapist is recommending it, it is definitely worth looking into it further and I hope you can find some treatment that works.

Me personally, being on HN, I started to believe I too had ADHD reading peoples' stories on here. After a lot of therapy, and even going for an ADHD evaluation myself (a huge pain in the NHS), I realized it was more a result of burn out and depression. Thankfully, with a lot of therapy (almost a year now), I am slowly regaining my focus, and even improving my ability to deal with boring tasks (which I had convinced myself, based on stories on the internet about adult ADHD, that I could never do).

If I had been in the US, I would have self referred to a psychiatrist, gotten an ADHD diagnosis, and been on meds by now. Problem solved? I don't think so, I never would have treated the fundamental psychological issues that actually were causing the problem. But I would have gotten ADHD diagnosed and think there was something wrong with my brain forever. I feel this must happen a lot in the US. Adult ADHD is actually very rare - it is very hard to go unnoticed as a child with ADHD.

I would strongly suggest anyone reading HN stories about adult ADHD first to see a psychologist and do talk therapy first. Also, make sure to get a second opinion on a diagnosis like adult ADHD.
