If you are on Android I can recommend either Maps.me with great 3D view or Maps.cz for great tourist trails, Google Maps content is horrible in Europe. Of course any decent app can download offline maps for whole countries and not some GMaps parody with small section of map.
There are lots of factors. But at this point liberal policies are buttressing the problem.
And yet, people still store a string_view in a field and then access it past the lifetime of the underlying string.

Yes, things have gotten better. Smart pointers are a godsend. Sanitizers are a godsend. Various static analysis tools work pretty well.

But even codebases that adopt all of these things religiously still are riddled with security vulns.
I visited SF recently and they smashed by trunk, found nothing and left me with the repair service from the rental company, it was a Friday morning at a park.
Personally, it sounds exactly like the software teams I've been working on. Completely flat hierarchy, decisions reached by "consensus" (long, drawn-out discussions where the last man standing gets his way), introducing new technologies and ideas based on personal preferences and agendas etc. Since Agile became the norm, there are no managers in software enginering teams - the team is supposed to manage itself. In practice, it's exhausting.
And Star Wars' plot is, of course, heavily drawn from Kurosawa's "Hidden Fortress".

I wonder what other Japanese culture influences on Lucas are yet to be uncovered.
There are many factors. The biggest is the failed drug war. Conservatives thought that by getting tough on crime and drugs that those problems could be eliminated. The result was the most full prisons on the planet. The prisons are so full that even the huge California GDP can barely pay for them. So something had to ease up. Now there is a breakdown in the justice system regarding what crimes are worth convicting and incarcerating people for and it is not unusual for even violent criminals to be quickly released.

But the conservative tough on crime folks are completely unable to come to terms with the consequences of their actions on society. So we end up with a stalemate where liberals are trying to trim down the prison population and focus on violent crime while most conservatives still want to fix the problem by getting tough and imprisoning more people for longer.
In this case, I suspect the biggest factor is simply having the right product at the right time. Twitter goes to hell and you've got a Twitter alternative ready to go? That's the perfect timing for a successful product/service.

It's no surprise that things like Hive, Mastodon and Cohost have exploded in popularity recently.

Of course, whether these products will be the ones that do well in the long run is still an unanswered question. Hive's security issues and temporary shut down came at the exact wrong time, Cohost's invite system is probably crippling it and people are still not 100% sure how to use Mastodon in some cases, so only time will tell which if any takes off.
> the same left wing government that allows police to use lethal robots?

Yes.
Mind you that showcasing that to potential clients, as sad as it is, might well make up in marketing for the lost efficiencies.

Edit: just saw this is not a private company, but you get the idea: the room is effective in selling an image of spectacular efficiency and oversight.
I mentioned this elsewhere, but the real A/B test here would be to do a rewrite in the existing language and compare it to doing a rewrite in Rust with respect to memory safety, etc.
And I have been told that no matter how precious the lives you were protecting were to you, killing someone isn't a memory you want in your head. Either it will bother you forever, or worse, you'll find you liked it, and that changes you.
actually "hereditary" is more sound than "protected", innit? to some extent
Maybe you should revisit your linguistics course notes then. The purpose of a dictionary is to represent language use. In fact, the definition of "woman" is largely unchanged:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33785834

If your agenda tracks with how language use changes in wide swaths of the population, sure, a dictionary "furthers the agenda" but it does so by accurately reflecting language use, not what you want language use to be.

I could argue that the second definition of "Darwinism"[1] furthers an agenda, but that's inane. This is how the word is used and it's the concept I take offense with, not the word itself. The dictionary just represents the reality of that being how the word is used.

It sounds like you oppose the notion that "gender" or "gender identity" is, to put it simply, a thing. And you ascribe "an agenda" to those who agree that it is a thing while implying that not acknowledging that many people explicitly or implicitly (i.e. by behaving as if it is a thing without outright saying so, e.g. by respecting preferred pronouns or continuing to refer to someone as a woman or man after finding out they're trans and thus likely don't fit the reproductive definition of those words) agree that it is a thing is absent of an agenda.

Actually I'm sure that's not what you're trying to argue because that is clearly ridiculous. Since you explicitly reference an "agenda", I would like you to spell out to me what you think that agenda is and whose it is. Because if you simply meant "bias", it should be obvious that an unbiased dictionary is impossible because it by definition has to represent social biases as there is no objective source of truth when it comes to descriptive linguistics.

Additionally, in some states, it's legal to open carry without a permit, while concealed carry requires a permit. The vast majority of people carrying will choose not to advertise it.
This is bad for privacy. Now every single photo a person takes will be stored on someone's cloud forever and potentially used by someone against folks threatening their mafia.
Good LORD, the random bolding of certain WORDS is extremely ANNOYING....and was this written by (and for) an 8th grader?

"DID YOU KNOW that Vader's helmet is styled after samurai helmets?"

I mean jesus christ, you'd have to be born under a rock to not know that Star Wars is a cross between a spaghetti western and a samurai flick. The "light saber" is the ultimate version of the "samura swords can cut through anything and slice bullets!" weeb trope.

> Utterly unthinkable, isn't it?

> Yet in software engineering, this is exactly what has been happening every day for more than a decade.

Consider what happened to poor Semmelweis when he discovered in the middle of the 19th century that hand-washing improved medical outcomes: doctors of the time were too proud to accept his results and drove him out of the profession (and to his early grave) rather than change their practices.

All these people who insist on continuing to write new C programs have the same mentality as those doctors who refused to wash their hands.
What prevents you putting a dish up on a pole/post to get a signal?
In the "free for all" states judges and juries are also generally more understanding of victims rights in self-defense situations so you are less likely to be branded a murderer in a self-defense situation. In victim-hostile states and counties you have a much higher burden of proof of innocence before the law system as a victim acting in self-defense.
TIL American dishwashers expect hot water input. This seems... bad?
A couple of the YouTube channels I subscribe to have purchased NABU machines out of that large lot of NOS that is apparently being sold off. Should be interesting what they wind up doing with them.
I have sensitive taste buds and worked for an industrial kitchen with a Hobart washer:

1. Rinse plates before putting them in crates

2. Slide the crates into the washing machine.

3. Close the machine to get it to perform a 3-stage cycle over 2 or 3 minutes: soap, sanitizer (usually some ammonium solution like in sanitizing tablets), then rinse.

I was able to taste bitterness after the rinse cycles and we were never in a rush, so I had the habit of re-rinsing the plates afterwards.

In restaurants I notice soap in my water or on the plate every now and then. It seems like most people don’t mind or notice. If you don’t feel the texture change or taste the bitterness of soap, you can see it by observing pearlescent colors on the surface of your drink.
They may understand it. It's just inconvenient so its downplayed.
My iPhone has this “product red” branding on it and it kind of annoys me. Im always skeptical of these kinds of branding/marketing for a cause type things but I just wanted a red iPhone…
1. Complying with regulations and dealing with banks costs too much money. All I have to invest is my time and skills as a developer.

2. Even if I built such product myself and paid all necessary costs, it wouldn't get any traffic. nobody would use it. These days, if you're a no-name company/developer without any special social connections, it will cost you a fortune to get a good rank on a search engine... The ranking algorithms are completely opaque. Social media influencers never respond to my messages, even if I offer to pay them money. Nobody ever answers any emails or messages these days. It's like talking to a wall.
To be fair, the rich wealthy snobs are doing plenty of criming as well. It’s unfair to label only those who commit crimes against the wealthy snobs as “criminals”. We should at least realize that the wealthy snobs are criminals as well in their own right.
Okay, so what is the best race to play as a druid? Now you have to prove that you are not the chatbot, Mr ChatBot.
I was a bit disappointed to see that this article mostly fell back on the trope of British English being extremely verbose and indirect. I think a much more interesting counterfactual would be, If PHP Were Anglish.

"Anglish" is the name given to a kind of hobbyist-led reimagining of English that is as close as possible to modern English, but in a parallel universe where the 1066 invasion of England wasn't successful, and English didn't adopt a huge number of French words. https://wiki.anglish.info/wiki/Main_Leaf

Here are some English words used in computing that are derived from French, and their Anglish equivalents:

Binary | Twile

Clone | Betwin

Command | Bid, behest

Concurrent | Bytimely

Computer | Reckoner, arimer (from "rime" meaning "number")

Engine | Gearwork

Event | Happening

Multiprocessing | Manyworking

Polymorphism | Manishapliness

There are also quite a few words that are already Germanic with no French influence:

Backup, bandwidth, bit, bookmark, boot(strap), broadband, browser, bug, cookie, download, flash, framework, inbox, keyboard, laptop, mainframe, motherboard, online, output, root, runtime, shell, software, thread, web, wireless.
Okay but surely not everyone's picture? Not everyone has cloud photos enabled.
Modernizing File System Through In-Storage Indexing
//third_party is indeed a challenge, but it is definitely not the case that vulns are only coming from //third_party. I mean, the linked article is about the Android codebase (not attached to //third_party) and the Chrome codebase publishes a ton of vuln data (again, not attached to //third_party).
Jailbreaking ChatGPT on Release Day
5 minutes of running water at full speed to wash up dishes seems like way too much, unless it's a really large household. Washing up after a quick meal takes a few seconds, and if a proper dinner with cooking you'd fill the sink enough to soak the load then come back to rinse.
>A nitpick, but my name is Orson Peters

I actually knew that, not sure what went wrong in my brain.

>I don't know, I only use a binary search when splitting up merges, and almost no time is spent in this routine.

You'll still get a definite speed-up, worth benching the difference just in case. I guess there's no easy way to avoid a binary search.

>I didn't do specific research into which effect it is, when I say ILP I also mean the memory effects of that.

They're indeed related. I did some empirical testing and I'm quite sure it's cache related. Thinking about it, one issue I may have had was not benching sorting 100M elements, which might be where a bidirectional partition might benefit on my system.
> future artists having their jobs taken by AIs

that's simply not going to happen. as in every technological development so far, this is just another tool.

1) artists create the styles out of thin air

2) artists create the images out of thin air

3) computers are just collectors of this data and do not actually originate anything new. they are just very clever copycats.

you're looking at an artist tool more than anything. sure, it's an unconventional one and a threatening one, but that's been true of literally every technological development since the Industrial Revolution.
Real property is one thing. Chattel property is another.

OP used the word property responding to comments using it in the sense of chattel property like a car or a wallet or purse. You're bringing up links to real property like someone's home or livelihood. There's a big difference well recognized in the laws of some states as you point out and totally consistent with OPs point that using lethal force to protect chattel property is not something anyone sane recommends for very practical reasons.
Thank you very much for the pointers! I just tried a bunch randomly, and got this result in under 5 minutes: https://imgur.com/a/4Tb4uWC

Fantastic stuff. I appreciate you typing it all out.
I bet you are right. And, it would be really fascinating to see how "right" the AI wanted to be with the candidate answers. Thinking about that has me go down a rabbit hole, wondering how my learning would be improved or impeded by the "right" wrong answers.
What Is Good Within Social Networks
Interesting! So why should this be something we do again?
It’s not up to the federal Government to police the state of California or to force them to enforce sane laws.
A plain reading of the first four or five paragraphs doesn’t tell me that this is a calculation.
Really? So Russia did not invade Ukraine? There was no riot on January 6? Trump did not call an election official to demand they find votes?

Everything is a lot. Always reversing it assumes media are telling only the opposite of truth. Media producers would have to know the truth in every story, yet feel compelled to flip it consistently.
Apple software isn't perfect, but so are alternatives. IMO it's just better.
Thanks for the resources, Wouldn't rehydrating the specific page which uses web component eliminate the need for explicit SSR support in the JS framework and thereby it comes down to whether the framework has good support web-components or not in the first place?
Show HN: SecretKeeper – The Secure, Free iOS Password Manager
Hi all! I was very disappointed that my favorite password managers for iOS went to a subscription-only model, so I decided to take matters into my own hands.

SecretKeeper is a FREE password manager for iOS, allowing you to safely store all of your passwords, banking information, etc. behind a single master password (or Touch ID/Face ID). All of your data is encrypted on-device, and is NEVER shared with a third-party. With SecretKeeper, you can easily auto-fill passwords in Safari, too!

I'm still making enhancement to it, so don't hesitate to make suggestions if there are features you'd like to see!
DiffusionBee is an app that is completely self-contained and lets you play with this stuff completely trivially, no installs required.

A bit of local colour shows the code to be locally-sourced and sustainable.

(Well, with Britain's current political mess..."sustainable" may be stretching it.)
There are plenty of people who want to write in Rust for the fun of it. But I'm not aware of too many people saying that you should avoid writing a web application in java/python/js in favor of rust. Pretty much the only people being told to stop doing what they are doing are the people starting new projects that process untrusted data in C and C++.
How much C and C++ do we have now? How much COBOL did we have at it's peak? I'm not sure the analogy holds for that reason alone.

What if the better analogy is updating building codes in Manhattan?
True, but why bother with the symbols in the first place? User experience is just as important for developers reading/writing text and languages are typically created behind closed doors with a small engineering team only.

Guido got a lot right with Python because it’s clean and easy to jump in. Minimal cognitive load. But still very powerful.
There are also Scottish macaroons, which are covered in chocolate and desiccated coconut: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=scottish+macaroons&t=h_&iax=images...

Republicans. San Francisco just needs more liberal representation.
> The police will release you soon after you are arrested, often on a signature bond with zero deposit [1]. You can rinse and repeat this process dozens of times per year because it is unlikely you will spend any significant time in jail or prison.

Sounds like what happens to the rich and well connected when they get in trouble with the law. Seems like equal justice to me.
Better Than Fans? New 'AirJet' Chip Promises to Overhaul Laptop Cooling
The image your phone generates isn’t real. It’s a medium quality photo enhanced by “AI.” See all the cases of iPhone pictures adding faces where people aren’t there.
I have the same problem. When I contacted support I didn't get anywhere and nothing seemed wrong on their side.
> crescent moon-shaped central ornament

"That's no moon"
There's an old joke that: computer + X = computer

Where X has been things like keyboard, screen, disk drives, modem (now network adapter), speakers, microphone. All were originally separate devices. For historical reasons we now call hand computers phones, but the basic insight that these things just voraciously absorb peripheral and related functions is still just as true.
Apple is already scanning photos on-device for illegal content.

Huawei is apparently deleting footage of protests from people's phones too.
I'm afraid to respond saying how thought provoking that article is, because then I might be on the hook to actually do something to make the world a better place.
My iPhone "magically" turns on Cloud Photos from time to time and then complains about running out of space. The same approach as with Windows 10/11 "magically" turning on anti-privacy options after upgrades etc. Not to mention some apps pushing all pictures to Cloud by default.
X = humans ?
That's what you get when you take literary freedom and democratize it.
And, depending on the state, if you do use force in self-defense, it may be an open question if you will or will not be prosecuted, and (more importantly), if a jury is willing to convict.
I don't think it should, either.

Twitter doesn't have monopoly power like phone companies or railroads tend to, nor are the consequences as impactful. There's zero impact on your ability to publish your personal free speech from being kicked off Twitter.
I use offline search all the time
That would then be „Zwieback“ in German, which refers to a kind of crispy mildly sweet bread that children get fed when they are ill :)

Dialects are pretty variable in Britain (no pun intended), this one seems to prefer old money English.
"Real" AM/FM radio has gong to shit in most markets anyways. Tons of advertising for traffic lawyers, diet pills, donut shops, etc. DJs talking too much, limited playlists.

I think "AM/FM" radio is really just the equivalent of "free music you can stream".
Lol to you.

I guess the double irony is lost on people.

Will work better on it for next time.

I know some of the people who own the tools described above. I can assure you that if those tools were the primary cause of the reduction in vuln they'd be screaming it from the hilltops. A huge amount of work at Google goes into answering questions like "what actually accounts for this change." This is one of the benefits of the promo culture that is often criticized.
I’m learning French with reading/media too and realized media will never exhaust itself like beginner apps do. I wanted an open-ended platform to to follow that reasoning, so I created https://languageroadmap.com as a way to keep finding interesting target-language media at my skill level.
This is like poetry. First comment I've "favourited" on HN that isn't explaining some deeply technical thing I want to reference later
Not really. You're not responsible for how users use products you distribute. The license is passed along to them, they would be the ones violating it.
> and it just doesn't make headline news?

It would only make headline news if the perpetrator was white. In the event that the perpetrator was black, the story would be quickly buried.
indeed, now protected sounds a bit dodgy, innit? always felt lost in translation with them oop lads
i dont understand what you mean
