That should really not be neccessary and potentially a user might want to use third party applications during an emergency call. (Imagine having saved the medication a relative receives on your device)

The OS has near complete authority over the device. If a user dials an emergency number android has to choose to give it to a third party app and that should never happen.

(I am also not sure that it would be a fix at all. From the description above it seems like android would try to start Teams, even if it was closed.)

Frameworks are not architectures, and architectures are not frameworks. DDD is an approach to building an architecture that emphasizes domain modeling. Done properly, all the web gunk (and there’s a lot of it) can be mostly isolated from the actual interesting part: the domain being modeled.

Until we as a profession understand how to structure code and how it is different from simply choosing Django vs flask, these discussions will not be productive.

However, going after just a brand solves nothing; the problem is that nobody can properly audit these devices due to their closed nature.
A huge number of IP cameras and DVR/NVR devices have been either compromised for botnet installation or caught phoning home (usually somewhere in China) in the past. Unless one can purchase a fully Open Source one (including hardware and firmware), there are no guarantees that a device won't be doing nasty things, or silently waiting for remote triggers to do so, which is something that only source code inspection could guarantee against. In the meantime the solution has always been to put them behind a firewall that doesn't let them initiate connections to the outside and also filters out incoming connections from untrusted parties; this should apply to all closed connected device, not just Hikvision cameras.

The general philosophy right now in the ActivityPub admin space is to federate widely and weed out the baddies as they show themselves (thus the emphasis on "rejecting" bad actors).

Personally I think this is only going to work for a little while but if ActivityPub catches on, it's going to be as inundated with spam as email is (without any of our modern spam filters). Therefore I personally moderate my ActivityPub server by whitelisting a handpicked list of servers that I personally trust (which I knew about by having browsed discussion groups on this topic).

As for the scaling question, there are two layers to that: per-server and overall-network scaling.

Per-server scaling doesn't matter. All that matters is serving content that the users of that server find worthwhile. Whitelisting works fine for this, but discovery requires checking out different servers or having out-of-band knowledge of other servers. I think this is fine. People can promote servers they find worthwhile in all kinds of ways, same way as for example gamers find gaming clans.

Overall-network scaling is a function of how all admins decide to federate. Right now most admins federate widely so the overall network has scaled very quickly. But really this doesn't matter either because there's actually not necessarily any such thing as an "overall network". If you made a graph of all ActivityPub servers in the world, there might be multiple disconnected graphs and that's fine. If admins in those graphs have decided not to federate with each other, that's the system working as intended.

> That's basically how things like substack work

My understanding (but correct me if I'm wrong) is Substack is a central server where multiple authors can publish their work. Federated content is different in that I can publish my content on my server and anyone who federates it can also get it on their server (and likewise I can get theirs on mine). But if I go off the rails then they can cut me out while still federating other authors they find worthwhile. Each server can make their own moderation decisions. It puts moderation power back into the hands of independent admins instead of tech companies.
Does it actually have that, or has this been added on top of it by Mastodon and PeerTube (and not some of the others) ?
My favourite too. I wish I had the brain space and the time :(
> Next bug: when picking a PhoneAccount to run the emergency call through, Android goes through a complicated sorting process to figure out which account to use. The last step in this sort process, the tiebreaker, is sorting by hashcode. The hashcode comparison just subtracts one hashcode from the other. But just like that stupid Y2K22 Microsoft Exchange bug from the other day, it's possible for this to result in an integer overflow or underflow, and now the phone subsystem is going to crash.

This is horrifying and stupid and horrifyingly stupid.
I don't know, C, C++, Objective-C, and everything else that might be copy-paste compatible with C semantics regarding strings, arrays, pointers and lack of bounds checking by default?

Even if C++ and Objective-C are much better in that regard, as they offer bounds checked versions of those critical data stuctures, many devs just keep coding the good old ways, because performance trumps any attempt for security, until it eventually becomes a legal requirement to care for security.

> Many years later we asked our customers whether they wished
us to provide an option to switch off these checks in the interests of efficiency on production runs. Unanimously, they urged us not to--they already knew how frequently subscript errors occur on production runs where failure to detect them could be disastrous. I note with fear and horror that even in 1980, language designers and users have not learned this lesson. In any respectable branch of engineering, failure to observe such elementary precautions
would have long been against the law.

-- C.A.R Hoare on his Turing award speech in 1981.

> The combination of BASED and REFER leaves the compiler to do the error prone pointer arithmetic while having the same innate efficiency as the clumsy equivalent in C. Add to this that PL/1 (like most contemporary languages) included bounds checking and the result is significantly superior to C.

Naturally, one can also argue that Google doesn't pay good enough to hire those mythical developers that never write code with security flaws.
How did you find it out? Were you able to unambiguously prove that they were doing it?
The free market was doing just fine, thank you very much. It converged by itself into two pretty good standards (none of the previously EU-recommended micro-USB abomination) - one private one open but each having a big enough market to make sure there was very little of that much-pretended "waste". On the contrary - the e-waste next year when millions of Apple users have to throw away perfectly fine cables and charges will be absolutely gigantic.

Apple will have no problem complying as they already had a separate European nano SIM model. Or maybe they were ready to switch to USB-C anyway (a standard they helped develop), as they did with iPad Pros and MacBooks. While us users will swallow the cost as always while bitching about downgrading to USB-C.

But now innovation in this domain was made illegal. There is no way a company will invest in researching a new connector when they cannot legally bring it to the market. So Europe is becoming dependent on American creativity in yet another area. A small and maybe negligible one, of course, but this is a symptom of a larger disease: the EU is voting to mandate stagnation. And the worst part when outlawing innovation is this: you don't even know what you are missing. Because nobody is allowed to invent that future anymore.
> Nobody gives a shit about Ukraine

The outpouring of support, and weapons would disagree with this statement.

> Why do you think the US is pouring money into this war like crazy?

The US gets to decimate an opponents military, damage there arms export industry and damage their economy for just surplus military gear.

The US is destroying Russias military for pennies on the dollar.

> There was no threat from Russia before 2007

Georgia and Moldova would disagree but okay.

> There were no events to push other countries to join NATO.

The wars involving Russia invading former USSR states would disagree.
Without some citations, this is just a internet claim. I will note that it would be very convenient to a lot of big industries which happen to have very well funded marketing teams if what you wrote was true.

I'm Portuguese and can confirm this works pretty well overall.

It's still too strict though - I got convicted of essentially "possession with intent to distribute" just for having ~15g of hashish when I was young and a regular smoker some 15 years ago (the legal limit is 5g). I only got a bit over a year probation and it never showed up on my record, but it was extremely unfair IMO and a traumatic experience - to this day I still have nightmares of being arrested and my home being searched every once in a while, and a big distrust for police and the justice system which will probably never go away.

> abhilash_patel's instructable is a Great instructable

Christ, I hate Instructables. A site with such shitty presentation that should be so much better.

Years ago I tried using an FFT library for the Arduino to convert audio to frequency domain in order to "bucket" the audio spectrum and (hint: music visualizer) light up some LEDs.

The Arduino+FFT were not however up to the task and I ended up going with a dedicated IC to do the audio frequency bucketing.

I suspect these days a better FFT or hardware like the Teensy could likely handle the job.
I agree. It wasn't a criticism of the trials, but rather the officials making claims for which there is no data.
If they are fixing it is it a zero-day? What does that mean in this context?
So why don't they?

Taco Shack is not a taco.* It certainly is a shack, however. To try to claim with a straight face that it's not (as you did here) is possibly one of the dumbest arguments I've seen someone make on HN, ever.

Likewise, your defense that it's fine to arbitrarily omit "a"/"an" or "the" is what's truly unconvincing. To say, "I took a bus here" is acceptable. To say, "I took the bus here" would also be acceptable. Saying, "I took bus here", however, is definitely not a reasonable way to construct a sentence, despite your unsupported claims to the contrary. At best, it's a forgivable mistake that you might encounter from a non-native speaker, but in no way is it standard English. To argue otherwise (again, as you have done here) is bonkers and, like the Taco Shack example, suggests a commitment to never admitting to being wrong and a prioritization of that commitment over the truth.

* I suppose if we were operating under the rules that you insist exist, this could have been worded as "Taco Shack is not taco"
This is the kind of shallow and ignorant bullshit I expect to see in places like reddit. Really /r/worldnews material.
Decades ago, the Boston University Free Press (the alternative views newspaper) was managed in this manner. My buddy ended up running the paper for a year because he was the least political, most liked guy working at the place. He just wanted people to be happy. After a year, he was no longer happy and was glad to give up the job.

I'm fairly certain it's ironic juxtaposition. We'll Meet Again was a massively popular wartime song, sweetly sentimental, asking people to keep their spirits up, giving them hope their loved ones will come back after the war and all will be OK. The montage of explosions is a visual bombardment with a diametrically opposed message. It's the perfect combination.
Right now. Can you guarantee that will always be the case we'll into the future?

I guess, but it’s also pretty open code these days now that the S3’s LX7 has some nice vector extensions and other additions for ML applications :)

https://github.com/espressif/esp-who

It’s not out of reach for hobbyists, I think, though getting it to run very well might be. And I would certainly tell anyone interested to start with something more powerful first!

I’m currently experimenting with porting Arraymancer to the S3, just to see how it can run, outside of work time mind you.

https://github.com/mratsim/Arraymancer

Slightly orthogonal to what we are discussing above, but more to show that these weird micros have some surprising grunt if you know how to make them sing.

Though I still wish ESP-IDFs malloc was better behaved.
Yes, but that religion was heavily influenced by Roman culture in a way Islam was not. All the above mentioned countries still live virtually entirely under the morality and worldview shaped by that religion.

Christianty is a religion heavily influenced by the Roman civilization, Islam is not. The nations mentioned all still abide by the beliefs inherited from the Roman past to a much greater extent than the Islamic nations.

The Catholic Church specifically (which was the only church until the reformation) was and is a Roman institution. The groups that splintered off in the reformation were still heavily shaped by the 1000+ years of of this dominance. That is why they (and all other Christian nations) can to at least some extent claim to be descendants of Rome in a way Islamic nations cannot.

Just because there are competing claims does not make all claims equal. Islam being the dominant belief system precludes a nation from being an heir to Rome in any meaningful sense.
Wait, when we're talking about the "charger" here, do we mean the box that converts AC to DC? Or are we talking about the cable that plugs into the phone?

If we're talking about the cable, Apple does and always has included that in the box.

If we're talking about the wall plug thing that converts AC to DC, Apple no longer gives you one of those in the box, but it has always been standard USB. (USB A for the longest time, but USB C in recent years.)
Maybe should have done it in a GitHub README.

I have about half a dozen of them already, what would I even do with another?

As long as there is a USB-A to phone connector cable in there what would you want with another charger? If you really need one, buy one seperately.
When we use phrases like "generational trauma" being passed down, we end up misleading a lot of people on how genetics work. This phrase is often used in a political context, and to my knowledge there is not a good scientific foundation for it.

I had the same thought. And also, the whole classification of "alpha male", "beta male" of the pack has been debunked, since there's no pack, just the wolves family. So the "betas" are actually the young adults of the family, and the "alphas" the father and mother.
The elefant in the room is the cost of quality. In what situation can we cheaply improve quality and when is this impossible? Not adressing the cost of quality more or less unconsciously lets one gravitate around products for the rich. One can observe this where the author writes:"There’s a reason high-end car manufacturers boast about their handcrafted cars. Something so premium that an individual person spent time obsessing over the details. Some even prominently display a plaque on the engine with the signature of the engineer that built it."

It is easy to talk about the importance of quality with high premium products in mind. But what about low budget products for the masses? Can we say more about this than the cliché that quality might perhaps be cheaper in the long run?
Even the slowest possible charger will still easily charge any phone overnight so it’s not a huge deal.

Do you live in a microhome? Deodorant sticks are tiny, surely you can store 3 of them under your sink for months without too much suffering.
That's how it tends to work, doesn't it? People DIY to save money for instance, it can be a choice but if you're skint then it is a necessity. Or, you're bootstrapping your business and you do about everything yourself because you have no money to hire.

And if there is no money and time required is prohibitive then it does not get solved at all.

Slackware.

Only reason I've seen to use anything else is if doing a full desktop installation doesn't make sense, as the installer is largely geared around just installing most everything, or perhaps leaving out a category or two. Beyond that, the documentation is clear, and it's made as easy to use as makes sense without just hiding things behind a black box so that when things go wrong, they REALLY go wrong.

Nice to see some of these newer distros like Arch and Ubuntu are coming along though; choice is good.
Do you know what that is? I typically buy 4-5 sticks at a time when my local pharmacy has a sale on the one I like, so I buy deodorant like once a year.

Never noticed any problems with them.
Mysteriously Apple choose to swap to a USB-C to Lightning as the pack in cable at the same time as they dropped a pack in charger. Strange timing that...
I do the same. I'm not worried about data over the cable, but more how reliable the power supply is or even the plug. Who knows if some idiot jammed a piece of metal in it? Or if it's some cheap power source that will either fry the phone or not charge very fast.

I'll use it if no other option, but otherwise I'll take a pass.
Minor rant. I wish people would stop putting 'quietly' in headlines. Are we expected to believe that they did this in total silence without talking to each other or listening to music as they worked? Ridiculous!

In seriousness though, 'quietly' is clickbait meant to imply this they were doing it secretly for some nefarious purpose. Also the fact that there is an article about it contradicts that meaning of quietly as its being published to the public.

I wouldn't take that bet. I think you'll be proved correct.
I agree with the general principle of that, but in this case I do think it represents a broader trend. Walking around NYC, if I see an intentionally obfuscated plate, nine times out of ten it has a police placard in the dashboard.

It’s such a familiar problem to locals that the TV show Billions had an arc where Chuck illicitly obtained a placard and was trying to trade favors for it, but couldn’t because everyone he needed favors from already had one.

I have a scar on my hip because I had to bike on a slippery surface to avoid an NYPD car obstructing a bike lane and had my rear tire slip out in the rain. So this isn’t just aesthetic for me.
"There's a secret cabal of beings that are making my life personally miserable" is already a common enough position that cyclically occurs in human history every hundred years or so that I don't think it's a fiction. I don't think it's an untenable premise to suspect that toxoplasmosis pandemics are cyclically-occuring in humans already and are responsible for revolutionary periods and/or imperialism.

What people might find unpalatable is the idea that parasitic infection could determine so fundamentally political beliefs and ideology, but consider that the idea of not cleaning your hands directly led to disease was considered literal insanity (see the tragic history of Ignaz Semmelweis) prior to germ theory.
