> What do you think should be the parameters / conditions / requirements Apple should establish for such 3rd party app stores?

None. Apple doesn't deserve authority over what other people publish on their platform, just as they don't deserve to be liable for the ways people abuse iDevices. In my opinion, they should use this as an opportunity to strengthen app sandboxing and the overall iOS security model. If their current sandboxing system is as good as they say, it should do a great job at isolating third-party apps.

> As a side question, are there stats on which are the most popular Android app stores

Not really, there's no centralized way to collect those stats. Individual projects will give download stats sometimes though.

> I ask because I wonder, in practice, how many app stores are really used at any scale on Android.

Honestly? Not that much. I use both the Play Store and F-Droid alongside one another, and they do a good job complimenting each other. F-Droid fills in the gap of Open Source apps that don't make sense to distribute on a traditional app store, while Google Play offers a nice place to get my other apps.

The goal is for the App Store to live in harmony with developers. Right now though, iOS developers have literally zero bartering power with Apple besides leaving their ecosystem or screaming at some poor call-center worker. Offering sideloading gives them (rightful) leverage against Apple, while also letting me install my cool nerd porn like QEMU and emulators.

I am an unrepentant meat eater, but your visualization was absolutely fantastic.

Well humans aren't generally born into farrowing crates in factory farms and jammed together a few inches apart until killed. We did a whole Matrix thing about how that kind of life might be sub-optimal. I'm pro meat btw, just opposed to factory farming and waste.
We can, I don't really care how we get to that point, I just want us to get to that point.

We're not at that point right now, and we're not really prioritizing it.

If the seniors are home who is the junior interacting with. If the reason seniors are denied work from home because of juniors they may not be so willing to train on top of their core responsibilities
They still can.
Thanks, that’s a very helpful insight. You’ve put my mind a significant ease.
Have you tried vite? Its been a similiar experience for me
Have you tried many other languages?

This is not my experience at all. I find Typescript to be a world better than JS.

You are correct you can write secure, high quality code. You can do that in assembler too. However that's very difficult and it's easy to go wrong. I think JS is better than assembler but there are much better languages.

Sometimes we become an expert in something so it's much easier for us to use. Then we think that thing is the reason it's so easy. When it's our expertise that makes it easy for us. Do you think that could be the case?
Okay great thanks, so a consumer 1200mm lens can zoom upto 8 miles. But I guess under 45 degree angle, you would only get about 4500 feet horizontal range
> I simply can't believe that Apples revenue is larger than some of the biggest oil companies

Then this might blow your mind even more: In 2017, at a market cap of more than $2.1 trillion, Apple's market capitalization is larger than 96% of country GDPs, a list that includes Italy, Brazil, Canada, and Russia. In fact, only seven countries in the world have a higher GDP than Apple's market cap.

> at this point I don’t think it makes sense to consider Sid’s intent nefarious

Why not? He's spouting a bunch of ridiculous bullshit about licensing without any consensus among people who are experts in licensing and ethical questions and business questions, eg: the FSF, the OSI licensing list, the FSFE Legal Network, and all so he can make money. Looks nefarious enough to me, at least if you believe in free software.

Edit: HN won't let me post. Heather Meeker wrote the SSPL for MongoDB, then she helped write this which is all about protecting against the SSPL. If you cite a person as the licensing expert for credibility when the thing is completely contradictory to what that person has written in the past should result in loss of credibility, not gaining it. She's a lawyer for her client, wrapping up their chosen business model in novel legal bullshit to help sell it.

This line of argumentation is brought forward too seldomly. It’s not solid, but as a human centrist, the only future that’s made me pause is the potential loss to human research and enjoyment if our ecosystems collapse. Animal advocates would do well to argue from opposing moral frameworks.
Starting Services
What exactly are "they" going to do about it? Set up a surveillance police state where everything in public is monitored all the time, and then catch the thieves and "disappear" them so they don't re-offend? This isn't something you can easily stop without resorting to extreme policing measures. The reason it doesn't happen in Japan is purely cultural: people simply don't think to do it, because it's culturally unacceptable. It's just like pickpocketing in America: no one does it, even people who really are thieves and would steal stuff out of your car. There are crimes in Japan, but they're other kinds of crimes (usually some kind of scam). Just like there's plenty of crimes in America, but pickpocketing just isn't one of them.
The thermal power available from all Russian gas is about 5 years of chinese PV module production or 10 years of world wind additions at the current (rapidly increasing) rate. We can tighten the belt by 15% while building out enough capacity to replace it entirely.

Once cheap hydrolysers scale production, a huge chunk of the market will start to disappear due to ammonia production switching over.

While I do know what the brand is (it's "Onyx Boox"), I would certainly not vouch for them. But I wouldn't vouch for either Apple or LG: they make some crappy products as well.

But just like with product names, I prefer to judge products not on the brand, but on their qualities. Non-sponsored reviews and a fit for my needs is what I care about.

Anyway, even recognized brand names were once only starting in fields they ended up dominating. Onyx Boox is a recognizable name in the e-reader space for anyone looking for a non-Kindle e-reader (and probably quite comparable to reMarkable in how "famous" they are).
Glad you asked!

Florisboard is a nice minimalist alternative to GBoard. Offers decent theming and lots of settings for haptics/layout, makes a very quick/easy replacement on new devices.

NewPipe is a minimalist frontend to YouTube that lets you download videos and use PiP/background playing without paying for Premium (or logging into YouTube, for that matter)

Bromite offers a de-Googled Chromium experience for mobile users, pretty barebones and basic.

Glider is an awesome FOSS Hacker News client that I use for checking headlines on the go. Hugely recommended if you're an Android user!

The last big one I use is KeePassDX, which is a password manager integrated with the open KeePass standard. All my passwords get locked up in a nice encrypted, portable file I sync across my devices.

Now, I also use the Play Store for stuff like Discord and Spotify, and iOS users probably would still use the App Store if Cydia became officially supported overnight. That being said, having FOSS replacements for shitty defaults saves the modern Google-based Android experience for me. If they removed sideloading, I'd probably jump ship to a more minimalist fork.
I don't do my all of my notes in a single document. I create new documents that are specific to whatever I'm taking notes on. That plus the new tagging capabilities make it pretty easy to find whatever I'm looking for.

That's a nice trite little saying, but it doesn't fit reality. I mean it's not like an angry group of right-wing people reply to every single tweet by democratic politicians, right? Why do you think HN is above that kind of thing?

And a story that claims that PayPal is out to hamper free speech is exactly the kind of lightning rod that would attract such people.
Time does not solve the impossible. No matter how much time we spend attempting to make an algorithm sentient, an algorithm can never be sentient any more than a recipe can be sentient.
That's a good outlook.

If it's any consolation, we invested in the market in a big way for the first time in October 2021. We just got the "Congratulations on your first year of investing!" e-mail from the service with a link to our account, which happily displays a big red 25% loss on our solidly six-figure investment.

(I do think the stock market losses may be driving a lot of the recession talk. Those losses have happened, for sure)
Honestly, send that email.

I'm always happy to talk shop with competitors - at worst they'll just ignore you.
Amazon Rout Sets Up Retreat Below $1T Market Value
Important parts from the article:

"In the footage, a police helicopter closely follows a pro-Palestinian protest as it snakes its way across Dallas.

Two things are immediately striking to me about the footage. First, I am amazed and disturbed by the level of detail that the camera is able to capture, by the proximity it achieves. The police helicopters are not merely tracking groups of people, they are nearly able to identify individual faces. Second, I am struck by the design of the interface itself: the sci-fi overlay of street names, borders, parcel numbers, target distances, and so on."

I have a similar gut reaction. When I see someone attempt to destroy artwork or disrupt ordinary people I don't want to support what they support. When I see this terrible behavior it makes me wonder whether the ideas that such silly people are putting forward are legitimate or a child's fairy tale.
Sure, If you feel the need to deplatform me go for it. I am not particularly invested in any particular online platform or community and regard them almost entirely as not worth the effort to maintain. If I kicked off one who cares.

Isn't he going to be bringing back people who were banned off the platform, that's more democratic. US has a bunch of problems but the one thing you used to get right is freedom of speech before big tech had so much influence, I thought the major purpose of Elon wanting to buy twitter was to uphold freedom of speech as it is written in the constitution, given it's something of a town square now.
Here's a dead simple example, do you experience jank with it? https://jsfiddle.net/6etnpzyx/1/

Transform values (and opacity values, like your Codepen use) operate at the compositor level, and don't need to paint.

That means that an element using those values with a float layout won't impact FPS – the transition is unaware that the element is floated.

> recording the browser performance seems to "fix" the jank

If Chrome is also exhibiting it, it has a passive FPS meter to record this. DevTools, Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-P, "FPS". I get a pretty steady 60FPS: https://imgur.com/a/lgntlpw
Could we use this to justify factory farming humans, in that the agony and terror they experience is eclipsed by the good of them being bred into being rather than not existing at all?

We would certainly have more humans being born in that case than now, is it a negative thing that we are not doing this?
Those Foreign Boogiemen are buying existing housing supply AND enriching existing domestic citizens in the process (usually local mom and pops in previously poor areas) getting *more* than they would be otherwise. Therefore putting tons of capital back into the domestic market that would otherwise be in foreign markets.

If existing residents are now flush with capital why can't they invest in new properties and businesses which benefit us domestically?

Not building new houses is the bulk of the problem. Foreign buyers are still a problem when you aren't building enough houses because at some level you won't be building enough for good reasons. 10% of the time you shouldn't be building new buildings for good reasons like... heritage buildings or low income developments. But zoning, building height, etc etc (and often over-zealous heritage policy) limits housing to a much higher degree.

These compounding restrictions on supply side capital investments, like how the number of small businesses being created has declined in the last two decades, is another big part of it. Regular people having more $$ via productive capital investment = more money for housing. The housing crisis is largely a reflection of a lack of places for productive capital. Which is a complicated multi-factor problem, that foreign buyers only play a small part.
Powerlessness? How much power do you want? You are one person, in a democratic society, with a whole lot of other people with wants and needs. Compromise and get along.

A few years later, I released The Tao of tmux, available for free online: https://leanpub.com/the-tao-of-tmux/read.

Random: this is a lean, cross-platform program I've used in the status line for ages: https://github.com/thewtex/tmux-mem-cpu-load

It's nice to see a program that does one thing well and gets such quality attention.
This comparison is slightly flawed due to some nuances with hiring practices in O&G. At least on the downstream side of the business, Exxon runs a skeleton crew and hires A LOT of contractors and or people employed by EPCs. This is so done you can quickly and dramatically downsize when the price of oil or refined products goes the wrong way.
Just put the story of why you're doing what you're doing. You need the appearance of people behind the product.

It really does make them feel that much more collectible. I don't know much about NFTs, but this kind of pseudo-3D experience ought to be standard for browsing digital collectible art.

I also wonder how this would hold up for viewing artworks on a display.

Self-hosting the hard way: securely exposing services on the World Wide Web
I remember tinkering with WRF model in university using a single server. Depending on the resolution, generating forecast for the next day can take more than one day! Imagine getting forecast for tomorrow two days later! You do need quite a bit of computing resources and GPU if you want to use its forecasting feature meaningfully. In my case, I was interested in downscaling some historical data, so my limited compute was enough.

Is photography dead?

Far from it, it’s just that phone cameras are good enough to replace DSLRs or full-featured P&S for most users.

DSLRs are pretty much dead. The handful of pros I know either have or plan to transition to mirrorless. Or, a few shoot medium format.

Most of my friends have at least one mirrorless. Sometimes several. Along with a stack of both current and vintage lenses. But, they’re a well-to-do crowd with hipster tendencies, so YMMV.

My parents had several film SLRs over the decades. But when their Pentax was stolen on a vacation in the late-90s or early-00s, they didn’t replace it. They got a compact P&S and now rely on their phones. The SLR was only ever used for snapshots, not photograhpy as a hobby.

Personally, I grew up using their SLR plus a pile of cheap or disposable P&S. Then a few compact digitals. Bought my first DSLR in my mid-20s to get better family shots. Transitioned to a mirrorless about 10 years ago, have two bodies and a pile of lenses, but 90% of the time just use my phone. The cameras only come out for events, vacation, or on the odd occasion the mood hits.

I find it interesting that lucid dreaming has an impact on your feeling of restfulness. I can't say I've experienced the same, but I'll try to reflect on this more given that almost 100% of my dream states are lucid and have been for almost all of my adult life. As an adolescent, I would lucid dream only occasionally.

My personal experience with lucid dreaming is that I am almost always aware that I'm dreaming, and most of the time I'm content to let the dream play out. Sometimes I do intervene and become an active participant in the dream, rather than letting it happen like a cut-scene in a game. And, on occasion, I will rewind a scene that I'm unhappy with or I want to revisit.

I'll also sometimes find myself in a dream location and suddenly remember all the prior occurrences that I've visited the setting. It's the weirdest feeling because I'll have what feels like years worth of memories from experiences in that dream setting that come rushing back to me. Memories that I can only vaguely grasp when I'm conscious, but as soon as I'm back in a particular setting all those prior experiences are remembered -- things that happened in the environment, character interactions, etc.

It's a bit unsettling when I wake up because for a moment I feel like I have these parallel life experiences from different realities stored in my head, mostly partitioned from each other.

I don't know about the parent, but I was a teenager back in the 90s, and back then when the wall fell and the USSR collapsed, we thought all the ugliness of the 20th century, two world wars and a cold war, were all behind us and that we could look forward to lifetimes of relative peace, perhaps with some relatively small conflicts here and there (such as the Gulf War).

It turns out the 90s was basically western civilization's peak.
He "can't imagine himself in the role of Khrushchev": no, because for all his flaws (and there were many) Khrushchev had the balls to speak truth to power inside the party room about what clearing house after Stalin required. And, for all his bizarre antics, was at least pragmatic about social reforms. He was also pushed aside by people Putin idolises: they installed Breshnev and Kosygin. Kosygin was significantly more flexible too, Putin has a hill to climb if he wants to be that good at the job.

Breshnev provided the model for fundamentally corrupt governance Putin has followed. Systemic corruption was a norm.

The quote focuses on the brinkmanship. Khrushchev was about more than the Cuban missile crisis. He was no angel, and Putin is no Khrushchev.
