I have never had anything other than a terrible experience with a Java app, under Windows, Linux (in GNOME 2 and Unity most of a decade ago, i3, or Sway). They always disregard platform conventions in both look and feel to a painful extent. But I will declare that I haven’t ever used IntelliJ, and I have no idea what it uses for its UI. But out of the box, Qt seems vastly better at matching platform look and feel, and generally gives you decent control over matching or not to match your requirements.

It seems pretty natural to me. Government is dominated by people who want power and people who want power pretty much always want more power.

It's only natural that they don't see themselves as the threat. To them the threat is criminals/terrorists, etc. and sacrificing our civil liberties would typically let them catch one or two more of those.
You can kind of. You can raise the pay for nursing assistants and lower the credential bar for actual nursing, and raise pay to entice those that quit to come back. There are probably enough skilled folks out there to make that happen
Elon just craves attention, and he’s rich enough that he can get it wherever he wants. One day he wants to be a character on Rick and Morty, so they accommodate him. He wanted to be on SNL so he inexplicably gets to host and star in an episode despite being unfunny and untalented. He wanted to be on the Twitter board, they didn’t accomodate him, so he staged a hostile takeover of the company. Not to mention the cave incident where he tried to insert himself, was rebuffed, and then tried to ruin someone’s life.

There’s a clear pattern of Musk forcing himself into places he doesn’t belong and no one wants him, and it never ends well for anyone involved.

> it’s his right to do whatever he wants with Twitte

The obvious response to anyone who says this is that the previous owners (and hence management appointed by said owners) similarly had that right… so why be upset about them - ha because their decisions didn’t align with you. Juts be careful, while Musk’s choices today might match your world view you should know that he only looks out for himself and will do whatever is his best interest and so the projection of being fundamentally pro speech is a mirage.

The reality kind of contradicts you. Sure, there are people living without smartphones, the same way how there are people living without electricity or running water.

The thing is, in the developing world, smartphones and the various apps have really improved people's lives, mostly by getting ahead in speed and innovation of what the governments, public services and local companies could offer the traditional way.

So it's not like everyone is forced to get a smartphone, but everyone got a smartphone because it now allowed everyone to communicate better, organize better, and sell their services/goods easier.

>For Linux they should either be GTK or Qt, "depending on desktop"

That's bad... ideally there should be a runtime choice between GTK / Qt.

side note... I know many people that would prefer apps on MacOS to behave like Windows/Linux (mostly about the keyboard)... and also the reverse (those are louder to complain, but a minority in my case).
Normal mirrors don’t break, so why introduce single point of failures in a currently distributed system? My cars last 8-10 years, while my tablets last 3-5. Unless the new, fancy stuff is swappable there’s going to be a whole lot of dead glass driving about the highways. And without the tactile feedback of traditional buttons it’s bloody difficult to turn things on/off without looking down.
I've been working on a multithreaded interpreter language which uses a lockfree algorithm to communicate.

I also have a buggy incomplete implementation of runtime reference passing.

The idea is that you request access to some data and then receive a reference that you can read or write to then you pass the reference to the next requester.

In theory everyone can read at the same time and writers can run sequentially. And alternate between reading and writing. This should prevent data races.

I want to avoid contention and blocking and synchronization cost and complexity. I think the compiler can generate thread safe code with the right design but it is not trivially easy.

Labor shortages aren’t just money. Nauru has tech labor shortages. Singapore has notable farmer shortages. There are teacher shortages in the US even where wages pay well because teachers are sick of regulations or students. Korea has such an inverted population pyramid that its only possible future is half the country devoting their lives to caring for old people at the expense of either industries having no workers, and immigration isn’t a solution because other countries will be hitting similar problems at the same time.
Interesting perspective. I agree, especially with your second paragraph. It almost seems like the business models on the cases you cite (and others) are in part, "let's break the law but grow quickly and seem to benefit consumers and maybe workers to some extent, such that we can force changes in the laws."

You can either have well paid healthcare personal or socialized health care you can't have both, specially when population is shrinking which is why healthcare across Europe (and Canada) are having the same issues.
This simply isn't true. Only C/C++ people have ever cared about having multiple implementations and have to cling to the catastrophe that those two standards are because of it.
This is usually the correct take. Labor shortages are typically propaganda for below-market wages. This should be your default assumption whenever you hear about any labor shortage until there's evidene otherwise.

Here I think it's a little different. First, you can't just mint new nurses. That takes time. Second, a lot of nurses have left the profession (or at least specialties like ER and ICU) because of years of stress dealing with the fallout of the pandemic.

Nurses were at one point and in some locations quite literally choosing who gets to live and die. If you don't think that puts stress on someone, combined with being overworked, I'm not sure what to tell you. So it's not just an issue of money to lure them back, particularly when (later on) so much of this death was entirely self-inflicted (ie people choosing not to be unvaccinated).

I asked GPT about it and here is the answer:

Do you keep a memory of your conversations with humans in order to improve your own abilities ?

As a large language model trained by OpenAI, I do not have the ability to engage in conversations with humans or to improve my abilities through such interactions. I am designed to respond to natural language input based on my training, but I do not have the ability to retain information from previous conversations or to use that information to improve my performance. My responses are generated based on the latest input I receive, and I do not have access to any previous conversations or interactions.
I didn't mean how would the tax work.

I meant how would ownership of companies work? If a company is worth 100 billion ($1e11), does that mean you need 100 000 people who together own that company (and nothing else)? If it has a good month and becomes worth more, you need to find more people?

Capping wealth at a billion has a couple of icky practicalities, but I can definitely understand why you would want to do this. There are less than a thousand billionaires in the USA right now, if we can radically improve wealth equality by affecting that many people it seems like a good trade, and those people are still filthy rich at the end of the process.

But if you cap it at a million, I start to see things that require millionaires. Starting large companies and family owned farms are two of them. I'm genuinely curious what alternatives to millionaires we have there.

Are you (or bambax) arguing for straight up communism, where everything is owned "communally" or by the state?
In the long-run, but this also works both ways. On one hand the recent years have resulted in hospitals rapidly going over capacity, and nurses quitting from overwork. But nurses have negotiated higher pay in general, on top of things like hazard pay. That can lead to shortages if hospitals can't/won't afford to pay for sufficient staff. Moreover, hospitals (particularly places like US) seem to have an economic incentive to keep staff low during tighter periods because good nursing staff does not reflect billable service.

In Finland, they'll expect an average of 13% raise in wages from 2022-2025 - https://www.helsinkitimes.fi/finland/finland-news/domestic/2... . There's no reason to believe that shortages are solely owing to insufficient pay.

IMO this omits the biggest factor: because most car manufacturers are absolutely AWFUL at building software that works well.

It instead only supports "HondaLink", an epic hack involving a simultaneous USB + HDMI connection (yay dongle /s) and hacktacular apps written with PhoneGap that barely work and wouldn't get a passing grade in Babby's First App Design course. The apps haven't seen an update in years.
So is nursing. It takes years to train, requires approved qualifications etc.
Incidentally, this is the exact same problem that we have in the political/legal world: sure, the words of the constitution are written with the unspoken expectation that they have a specific meaning, but in practise, whoever is in power can decide the meaning of the words to be what they want them to be:

"As a starting point you need to understand that the C specification is not written in a rigorous language. It relies on making sense of natural language to draw any conclusions from it. If you insist that means you can just interpret it however you want, well, no one can stop you, but it's not a productive activity. The point is human consensus on what it means." [0]

Or, how Alice In Wonderland put it:

“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.”
“The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.”
“The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master – – that’s all.”

As for the (less interesting) technical argument, I think this one nails it on why it is illegal to truncate:

" "Characters" here are the values representable in unsigned char as fputc is specified to write." [1]

Oh, that kind of phone. Apple doesn't make "phones"; they make mobile devices.

We were speaking of fixed-location phone services. You don't need a mobile device to do fixed-location telephony; my VOIP-phone is made by Gigaset. It doesn't do iMessage/Face-whatsit, but neither do I.

I'm usually at home; I wouldn't need a mobile device, except that some commercial and government services refuse to believe I exist unless I can spit out a mobile number. I don't carry my device with me; it lives on my desk at home.

In terms of standard voice telephony, my Gigaset phone works better (and is much cheaper to use) than my mobile device. And the battery never goes flat.

Yes, but it’s nigh impossible to strip them of the informal power without stripping them of the actual power they hold by virtue of stocks and corporate control, assets and cash… all of which are readily fungible into political into political donations and all the other forms of legal bribery like funding opposition environmental studies to block competition or funding lawsuits to change laws they don’t like or anything else they can legally leverage that financial wealth for.

As ideally we could separate these two forms of power and achieve the removal of the unaccountable informal power… but the sort of large scale socioeconomic and sociopolitical reforms needed to do this honestly seem harder to achieve than just taxing the billionaires till they aren’t billionaires anymore. Maybe then we’ll be in a position to try and start the reforms and could have the sort of world where money doesn’t buy you unaccountable power… but I think that’s not something that would be achievable in my lifetime.
That's what I'm saying, the article lacks information. Before being Doyin, TikTok was Musical.ly, which came out in 2014. Bytedance acquired Musical.ly, made TikTok from it, but only merged the two later on.
Hi HN community, we’re a team of engineers trying to reduce the amount of time developers have to spend on building and maintaining SaaS pricing. As such, we’ve created a set of widgets, engineering teams can use to add pricing page paywalls, in-app paywalls, and self-service customer portals out of the box.

To make it even easier, we’ve just launched our no-code designer, allowing any team to match our widgets with your branding - typographies, colors, and spacing.

Apple's big monopoly loss comes curtesy of the EU
I cannot understand how everyone avoids the most obvious solution to all of this.

Blocking.

Instead of bans, Twitter could just add people to their own block list, and then tell new and existing users that they can opt-in to a moderated Twitter experience. They could have different block lists for different moderation reasons. E.g. Bots, spam, vs terms violations.

An even better solution is a delegative blocking system for accounts and keywords. It's basically crowd-sourcing account blocking, where you are saying: "I want to block all accounts and keywords that this person blocks". Then you can have an allowlist to override some blocks.

Don't like conspiracy theorists? I am certain there are many people willing to tag all the conspiracy theorists they find.

The best part would be having a toggle that can show you all the content that is blocked, and why it was blocked (i.e. You delegated all your blocking to account X, and they delegated their blocking to account Y, and account Y placed this account on their block list named Z).

You could also have "smart block lists" where you could use queries to block people. E.g. "Block all followers of X". An issue you might have though is to differentiate between those that follow in support of someone, or follow simply to know what they said and challenge it.

Twitter used to have block lists but they got rid of the feature. See: https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/advanced-twitter-b...

Ideally I would like this for all internet content.

So I agree with Jack when he says:

> The biggest mistake I made was continuing to invest in building tools for us to manage the public conversation, versus building tools for the people using Twitter to easily manage it for themselves

Just as long as its always opt-in for everyone individually.
Why would he care if he abuses it?
