Is it a real concern? Obviously if you live in Iowa, yes.

Yes. So stop using apple.

Imagine if everyone could only do what 98% of users do for everything. Only the most popular websites, apps, books, restaurants, etc.

The world would be a boring place.

(And you wouldn’t be allowed to visit HN)
I'm aware. If they discontinue it then I'll just stick to Kindle books. That's all I'm expecting from this device anyway. For everything else I have an iPad Pro.
There is also a browser built by the Kagi team for iOS. Well, as much of a browser as you can get on iOS.
Paying a fee is a great barrier for weeding people out. I was a on a pool team for several years and one season I drew the unlucky lot of being the captain. This mostly involves texting everyone on a weekly basis to ensure they would come out, and they had the $10 they needed in cash on hand to pay me when they showed up. I hated it and chased people all the time to pay, they owed me from last week, didn't show up, etc.

The next season I told everyone to pay up front. $120 dollars, cash. Same price as every week in total, but up front.

Turns out when people paid up front they came more often and we had no payment issues from there out.
I recently began using Kagi and it is a pain getting the same experience. They do have an extension but it’s a back at best.
Quality over quantity. Not everything has to appeal to the masses to make a good business.
Same age for my children and same recommendation.

I actually sleep about 9 hours per night, after which I naturally wake up.

I would also recommend going to bed at the same time as the children. Painful from one perspective, but always rested in the morning.
Except HN is a mix of tech-bro entrepreneur types and developers, whereas the other site is exclusively developers (with an emphasis on open source).
I have a lot of the same qualms and unhappinesses with the prom ecosystem. Also don't love how it sort of fiats that you have low-latency, quickly-consistent external service discovery to find out what to scrape.

It also seems like the prom ecosystem is still deciding how it wants to do push based metrics (you know...the pattern that has none of those problems) and that none of the tools in that area are especially good or mature.
I don't think they care who it is, but they care who is a who. They aren't concerned about it being an AI because that concern hasn't crossed their mind. If it becomes common knowledge that the people responding are bots, I think we will see others begin to react.

I've seen similar reaction in communities around enjoying art, even though I find those have less reason to care where the art comes from.
God damnit, but what doesn't. I am sure BitWarden has its own problems and it (seems?) not 100% FOSS but its core is.

LP extension and web vault ARE pure garbage:

1. It can't even recognize sites correctly ?! WTF really. I usually get 10 or so (looks like random) hits for any site but not the one that I should.

2. It offers me to extend pro support 5 years after I stopped paying for it. What I need to do for it to stop ffs.

3. Its UI is simply outrageous, i.e. if you search something it shows empty folders among those that contain the item etc.

I recommend NextCloud Passwords plugin: https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/passwords

Its awesome, supports team work, and if you have NC its no brainer. Probably too much work to install NC if you don't use it but in small company settings its probalby good idea as you need online office anyway.
How do we know 1Password doesn't have similar glaring oversights like LP?

We can't audit their code unless it is open source? I'm not going to just believe them at face value because some random internet personality says so. Unless some respected authority can publish an audit of the security posture and source code, we're just taking them at their word.

Granted, if I had to chose today, I would instantly pick 1Password based on what I can find on google, and LP has far, far more leaks than 1P.

But let's not kid ourselves that 1P is somehow more trustworthy without audits. And I'll eat crow if 1P has proof that they are routinely audited by 3rd parties.

EDIT: removed snark.

EDIT#2: If Signal can publish open source, why cant 1Password? If security is done right, the source code should be visible to everyone without jeopardy, or at least that's what I've been led to believe.

EDIT#3: Thanks for the link y'all, here it is at top level: https://1passwordstatic.com/files/security/1password-white-p... ... mmmm crow

EDIT#4: We trust browsers too much. 1P stores the secret key on every device so that you only have to enter your passphrase. I'd really like that code to be public because that's a great way to lose control of everyone's secret key. Extensions worry me because they are a critical component in any password manager's usability-vs-security. But perhaps that is a digression or worth an Ask HN.
After reading this, I acted on a decision I was on the fence about. I already have moved to Bitwarden and like it a lot better, but this post prompted me to go into LastPass and actively delete my account.

The next thing to do will be to start changing passwords. As with most of us, that's a project of serious scope that I do not look forward to.
> Why is it not possible to pay for this version of the stream?

Because they want both your money and ad money.

I don't know why people ever accepted advertising on pay cable TV. Pay to watch ads?

Ads made sense on over-the-air broadcast because there was no way to earn revenue from that other than a BBC-style "license" tax that wouldn't really fly in the US (though we do have NPR so...)

I read that it just re-reads the discussion so far every time you submit. So it must hit a limit of what it can remember since they limit the amount of training tokens it can read for a submission.
Use the OpenSearch specification [0]. Most search engines and even websites support it. It’s how, for example, you can search YouTube directly in the FF address bar.

But then when I want to do another search I have to disable this extension otherwise it still redirects
Thanks good suggestions. I think both your last options would work. Either one could be passed through automatically with a deep link from their website (either the search engine base url or your special url in the last point)
In my experience Safari is the best browser on iOS, because it is the only one that supports extensions.

It also has the best UI/UX and speed of any browser on iOS, but that’s subjective.
I bought a house in a suburb a few years back. There is a little convenience store in the neighborhood a few blocks walk. Also a little Italian restaurant. It's pretty neat but this is the first time I've had this in 25+ years. Generally residential means residential. Nice part is it's pretty hidden inside the neighborhood so almost all clientele is local. I probably wouldn't like it if it was convenient to a major road and traffic was pulled in.
The "Silicon" part of Silicon Valley is still very much relevant. Intel, AMD, nVidia, etc. all have major presences down there. There's also a multi-billion dollar industry supporting silicon design shops in various ways, and they're all in SV too.

As a member of one of those communities, I definitely have a good reason to care - AI art has flooded some of them, to the point where it's all "noise", and there's not much value in reading things until it dies down.
Wonder how much of this is just that they have so few models, this big numbers in each bucket?

What intervention?
Forgive me here; I'm approaching this from a place of ignorance and curiosity, and I hope I don't overstep any personal boundaries - both for you and myself!

My wife and I had many reasons for why we ultimately chose not to co-sleep. One of those reasons was our sex life. I don't pretend to know what the "norm"/average is, but it's frequent for us, 3-4 times per week, and at the risk of TMI, it can be fairly... involved. We know a few couples who co-sleep and I've always been curious how, or hell, even if, it has impacted their sexual relationships. Clearly it works for them (and you) and that's great! I would just be interested, if you're comfortable sharing, to hear what your experience has been here.

I'm pretty sure that every non-Google, non-Bing search engine on this list (Yahoo, DuckDuckGo and Ecosia) is actually powered by Bing. So really Apple is restricting me to two search engines: Google and Bing.

As far as I'm aware, rolling over and suffocating is NOT SIDS. With SIDS, the cause is undetermined.

This is also a weird presumption: go to bed when the kids go to sleep and wake up early. You get the same amount of sleep and a free morning.

Over the years, working on performance on .Net applications, I've found among the best ways to improve a .Net application performance is to reduce the GC collection pressure. This is the least obvious way to improve performance for most people because the GC is treated like a magic black box. Recent versions of .Net have made it so straightforward things that used to wreck havoc on memory (like LINQ) no longer do so (yielding good performance gains).
Musk played into the hero narrative for years, endeavoring to make people believe he was the literal savior of humanity. He's spent years encouraging people to have extreme characterizations of him. Neither a great hero nor a great villain is a nuanced character, and therefore one can easily become another when the context changes.
No, as there are countless ways to do the same. Whitelisting is more effective if your code is running on untrusted devices (frontend)
There is a white paper on 1passwords design: https://1passwordstatic.com/files/security/1password-white-p...

I did this prank, only it was more elaborate. We were in the lab, playing around with Windows NT (so all machines were set up with the same Administrator password), and one thing you could do, is to get a remote telnet, and `net send` to yourself, but on the remote machine, so the origin would basically be that person's machine, which makes it impossible to detect the actual sender.

Once the person was sufficiently annoyed, he disabled the Messenger service, but again, because all Administrator passwords were same, it was possible to just connect to the Services snap-in in Microsoft Management Console, and re-enable it, send the message, and immediately disable it, so once that person went to check - the service would be off...

In retrospect it was somewhat cruel, but oh well...
> After using both, I honestly don't understand why devs use MacOS over Linux (my favorite: ZorinOS).

The simple answer is both Apple hardware and software support is well defined and is the gold standard.

Linux Desktop software support on the other hand is ill defined and even if the hardware claims to have support, it somewhat worse than macOS or even Windows thanks to the inconsistency of the Linux desktop stack letting it down.

This has been an eternal problem with the Linux desktop, and at this point you might as well use Windows with WSL2, since that is the best 'Linux Desktop'.

My question was mostly retorical. I know that prioritizing fellow citizens is common in almost every country. But I think it is in most cases not morally justifiable, especially in the US where almost everyone is descendent of low single-digit generation immigrants. Not to mention 0-generation immigrants especially in California. (It wouldn't surprise me if there are more highly paid Californian SWE with family in India or China than in Iowa.)

I love the commentary about investment in operations. They hire a finance-oriented CEO who doesn't invest in building out tooling and infrastructure. This was the key paragraph for me:

> But as time went on the operation began to deteriorate. There was little investment in upgrading technology (after all, how do you measure the return on investing in infrastructure?) or the tools we needed to operate efficiently and consistently. As the frontline employees began to see the deterioration in our operation we began to warn our leadership. We educated them, we informed them and we made suggestions to them. But to no avail. The focus was on finances not operations. As we saw more and more deterioration in our operation our asks turned to pleas. Our pleas turned to dire warnings. But they went unheeded. After all, the stock price was up so what could be wrong?

I see this in tech all the time. It is indeed very hard to measure the return on investment for tooling and infrastructure in tech! Any infra work, whether it's splitting up your monolith into components, improved developer tooling, or fixing flaky builds has a vague and hand-wavy return on investment and has to compete with "Well customer FooBar will sign a $10M contract in Q2 if we build feature BashBaz instead," and now good luck as an engineer explaining how and when exactly your investment in developer tooling is going to make the company $10M in Q2.

But if you never invest in these, then the machine comes to a grinding halt and everyone's hair is on fire, and there is no quick fix because the solution was to invest in the problem proactively starting 2 years earlier, and now that you're so late it's going to take 4 years to solve the problem because you have to first deal with all the debt you accrued.

This is a place where leadership really can have 100x impact by establishing a dual-route for evaluating projects. The first route is the traditional "how much money will this make us", but the second is based on principle ignoring $$$ returns, "what is the most impactful operational improvement that our front-of-the-line staff is recommending?" You have to simultaneously run both strategies!
> There is no actual pirating going on when you copy a digital file.

I can't tell if you're taking the word literally or not. For the sake of argument:

Obviously there is no boat-stealing or plundering involved - no Johnny Depp or kraken here. But separately from whatever meaning you attach to the word "piracy" - illegally downloading creative works is theft. You are not entitled to someone else's creative work under any conditions other than those that they set, period.

Unless an artist explicitly says "here's this public domain artwork, share it however you want" (which some people do!), pirating is stealing - you are taking the work of someone's hands without paying them for it, and it literally doesn't matter if you wouldn't have paid for it in the first place, because the work does not belong to you - it belongs to the creator and they get to set the terms of use.

If you want a game or a TV show or a movie so badly - make it yourself. Put your own effort and time and resources and creative energy into it - then you can set whatever terms you want on its distribution.

Believing that you have the right to take whatever creative work that someone else put their effort into that you can get away with not paying for is one of the most extreme cases of entitlement I've ever witnessed, and it demonstrates an extreme selfishness and lack of respect for other human beings as equals.

I would be very interested to hear what moral axioms could justify the position of "I can take whatever I want from other people as long as it doesn't deprive them of a physical good".
Oof, you are not wrong.
LUL Brilliant!
The comment I was responding to says they don't think Elon's politics will have any bearing on car sales, because "because people don't often act on their beliefs." Paraphrasing.

The line "because people don't often act on their beliefs" is what I found most egregious in regards to the automotive industry because, yeah - I think lots of people do purchase vehicles based on their beliefs (ideals). I shared some learned history and lived experience around that topic to rebut.

Not looking to change anyone's world view with my comment here. I don't think I'm too far out-of-line with I'm saying: many people do buy cars based on their ideals (beliefs).

It depends and it’s a balance. Too many questions is a bad sign because it means they aren’t investing time into solving problems on their own (like math, try for 3 minutes give up and look at the back of the book).

The nice thing about Slack/Zoom combo is that if you have a highly self-directed engineer and a self-starter then they can spend time working until they truly feel stuck and then connect and share code snippets and do screen shares and calls. Instead of everything having to be a “stop the world” Q/A session you get a nice async communication channel that allows for various levels of triage.

That being said I certainly find in-person collaboration to be very valuable, but not so valuable as to drive a car and sit in an office where I can’t wear sweatpants or get up whenever I want to make an espresso or run an errand if I’m stuck on a problem for a bit.
You mean on a Kagi result page? I just type the new query into the search bar on the Kagi page instead. Agreed it’s not ideal.
You're right that that's what the piece says. It's not what I would write now: there definitely are things that I think are right and most people don't. Instead of doing those things secretly, however, I do them and make a public case for them.

nvi2 [0]: I got to like the simplicity of nvi when installing Void Linux on my laptop, but it had some annoying bugs that made me switch to nvi2. In general, it feels like `good' software; powerful enough by virtue of being a 1:1 vi clone with a few crucial improvements (multibyte, multi-undo, etc.), but simple enough to hack on if I miss some feature. Though no autocomplete means it's not suitable for more verbose languages, like Java.

QuickJS [1]: qjscalc is my go-to scientific calculator, and qjs my go-to JavaScript implementation for simple programs. The C interface is very nice to use, too. All in all, it feels very much like a "complete" engine, even if not quite as fast as one with JIT.

w3m [2]: Somewhat lacking as a web browser, but a very good pager. Would take it over less any day. Also has the best table display of any text-mode browser, supports inline images, and is rather extensible.

Wine [3]: It's gotten so good that I no longer have to dual boot Windows. Still not perfect, but definitely on my list of "good software".
