The JVM doesn't have much of a presence in iOS, so that removes one fairly major platform. Kotlin Native, as an alternative to Swift, is not quite there yet.

As for desktop apps, I guess it's just because web technologies has been Good Enough for a lot of use cases where one might consider using Java or Kotlin, plus you have a vastly bigger ecosystem, plus much better support across platforms (including iOS).

For what it's worth, I'm keeping one eye out on Compose Multiplatform: https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb . While it is still new and fairly rough, I've had positive experiences building simple desktop apps with it.

I'm 43 and I felt the pressure of getting into a good college back in highschool. I remember anecdotes of older kids talking about it when I was in later elementary school grades. I don't think the college pressure is all that new. Maybe more widespread?
Thanks; that's exactly the ELI5 I was looking for.
Military service gives many young people a second chance at college. They can earn some college credits while they're in, and then take advantage of the GI Bill after discharge.

Honestly, I do too, but the world doesn't. If you said "I have 3,500 binaries on my system, imagine if they ALL added 1MB" the reply would be "3.5GB is about twenty cents of NVME storage space" not "oh my, you're right that would be intolerable".

No worries, that's only natural, especially for Linus, after all he's the one that said "if keeping C for the sole purpose of not letting C++ "devs" contribute - so be it" lol (and thanks him for that)
The cipher is relatively trivial. The remarkable part is that these are previously unknown letters, primary sources from an important historical event.

Considering the NY Post, a paper Hersh has a personal relationship with, has already written about this blogpost, I’d be really surprised if it was some kind of impersonation.

I don't think they are forgotten, you just changed. If I think back to being a child, going to a restaurant and just sit there and talk was incredibly boring. Also, Broccoli simply tasted like shampoo.

Even when people told me I would enjoy it at some point, I just could not imagine this at all. It's just a completely different mindset and it sounds absurd when people tell you that you will change that drastically.
I'm slightly disappointed that the internal name is not "Clippy".
I'd be really receptive to CBDCs if the blockchain was completely open with no impediment to chain analysis, and all elected politicians or those employed in the public service above a certain level were restricted from any other money for anything. With a stipulation that for them, as much as buying a coffee with any other form of money would mean automatic let's say 5 year minimum sentence with no way to wiggle out of it/get pardoned/get early release/...

Aside from obvious benefits, it would also ensure CBDC implementations are really convenient to use, and any issues are resolved pronto.
FWIW there are a _ton_ of apps for both iOS and Android that will back up your photos and videos to your home NAS/server. Whatever you go with, ensure the files aren't being mucked with during or after the transfer--Google Photos on Android may omit and/or change some metadata tags, for example.

I personally use Resilio Sync [1] (for iOS and Android) and have tested SyncThing [2] (for Android), and PhotoSync [3] (for iOS and Android). They all work well.

The immune system often reacts to viral fragments leftover from replication or destruction. Some viruses are (hypothesized to be?) adapted to this, e.g. delaying sneezing and coughing (or at least the deliberate exacerbation of it) until viral load and viral shedding can be higher. Viral fragments can linger much longer than the primary infection, and in the case of COVID-19 are hypothesized to be responsible for or at least part of the process of some long-COVID symptoms.

I despise most of the things that Apple does and yet, I am evaluating switching to apple for phone more than 10 years on android.
The reason?

I cannot backup my phone data, I have to rely on the single app implementation and many of them have nothing about backing up data.

Add that I roughly get 2 years of security updates at most (I don't buy phones as soon as they come out), the consequence is having an expensive piece of outdated hardware.

I was going to suggest that Google stops implementing and releasing any new major Android feature, only release security updates. At least this way we would start getting security patches for longer...

You can create multiple users on your server and share your albums or individual assets with them. You can also create public sharing links that anyone can access, just like Google photos. You'll of course need to make the server accessible to them in some way.

My server is hosted at home in a Raspberry Pi and an SSD for storage. I have a public domain name and it is forwarded to my home network through CloudFlare. Might be a little risky security-wise, but I want to eventually make this instance usable for my parents.
You completely missed their point which is why tell it what its secret codename is at all if it is never supposed to reveal it.

The Go team at Google would run a collection server. Each week, with 10% probability (averaging ~5 times per year) the user’s Go installation would download a “collection configuration” to find out which counter values are of interest to the server and at what sample rate.

If there's interest to use config files to determine how telemetry is done, why can't similar be done about turning telemetry off? I don't want to deal with environment variables (for a gazillion reasons) and would prefer to just use a config file. Especially when it comes to sending arbitrary information from my system to another arbitrary host.

It's so strange to me that the configuration of telemetry has been escalated to uses-configs status while opting out hasn't. Really feels like opting out is an after thought.

The FDA and CDC are slow. They didn't admit for months that covid is airborne, way after it was well established. It's obvious looking at the data that vaccines reduce transmission.
There where several reviews mislead because: “ The hype around ivermectin is driven by some studies where the effect size for ivermectin is frankly not credible, and this has driven the conclusions in other reviews. The study with a huge effect has now been retracted as fake. Careful appraisal is the cornerstone of Cochrane’s work, and with such extreme public demands for a drug to work during the pandemic, it remains vital that we hold onto our scientific principles to guide care.” https://cidg.cochrane.org/news/new-cochrane-review-ivermecti...

Looking at those same 41 trials: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34318930/

“Eight studies had an open-label design, six were double-blind and placebo-controlled. Of the 41 study results contributed by included studies, about one third were at overall high risk of bias. Ivermectin doses and treatment duration varied among included studies.“

“We are uncertain whether ivermectin compared to placebo or standard of care reduces or increases mortality”

“Authors' conclusions: Based on the current very low- to low-certainty evidence, we are uncertain about the efficacy and safety of ivermectin used to treat or prevent COVID-19. The completed studies are small and few are considered high quality. Several studies are underway that may produce clearer answers in review updates. Overall, the reliable evidence available does not support the use ivermectin for treatment or prevention of COVID-19 outside of well-designed randomized trials.”

It’s easy to understand why people where mislead by a fake study, but in 2023 we just have better data and better treatments.

I think it's better to put aside the 'who' and focus on the 'what'. Knowledge, wisdom/insight can be found in any person, regardless of who they are, their credentials, their geography/location, or their ethnic background etc.

Yeah, the vast majority of content out there is not worth your time, but if you're here then you probably regularly browse Hacker News, and chances are the author does as well, so the author probably wanted to get his blog out there to people who at least shared that one thing in common.

Now putting aside the 'who', in this particular instance, judging the article entirely on its content: it's bullshit. It reads like someone bought into bullshit one year then was proven wrong, but only partially repented the next year. The fact the author arrived at such ludicrous conclusions about sleep in the first place leads me to conclude they're an idiot.
No it doesn't. In fact, if I had to guess, the power dynamic probably goes the other way.
A lot of times, though, currency is not fixed. Stock share prices can be in fractions of a cent; per-unit cost numbers can easily have fractional cents too, just for a couple of quick examples. Sure, if you're just looking at your bank account, or itemizing actual transactions, they're going to be in whole cents only, but lots of financial calculations need more precision than this.
Given there are 500 comments already and more to come, do you not think it’s been demonstrated the community has an interest in discussing it?
Oxbridge education producing incompetent leaders was a running joke in the series.
Yep! Basically, you'd point out that it's not economically-viable for you to provide a small number of high-value, low-revenue on-call hours on demand, so they'll need to reserve some time each month to make sure you're available when needed. (It's a bit like the old joke: "Ten cents for tapping with the hammer, ten thousand for knowing where to tap with the hammer.") If you've done BigCo consulting, it's essentially an extended hypercare scenario.

FYI, the provia colors are so rich because it’s simulating low speed, color-rich positive slide film. If you ever have the opportunity to shoot and project actual provia slides, go for it-they’re gorgeous.

Velvia is a slower, even more saturated slide film. Its sim colors probably read as more “unreal” to you. Fuji negative reads colder and more desaturated (to my eye), which is also probably why it may appear more manipulated and “unrealistic” in a digital context.

Any global service has pockets of outage sooner or later. I hate Musk and Twitter and would love to gloat over a dumpster fire, but the truth is that if its fully distributed, runs in a DC, has anycast IP or some kind of CDN front, then its normal to have pockets of users disconnected.

Sharding models can mean the users can be widely distributed: I've had service outage for my google experiences and the guy next to me nothing: its not always about where you are, but who you are, how they shard things.

So whilst I hope this is "serves them right" I also think "normal"
Another update for anyone seeing my parent post later on...

The OVH machine I ordered seems to be less smooth, and I'm simply running into issues. I am performing the same exact steps as I do on a 0.5 GB Lightsail instance, where it works just fine. My workloads just aren't working on OVH. I have run out of patience and am going to cancel and stay with Lightsail.

Can Musk please stop actively killing twitter already.

I know people say just move away, but for certain communities (I'm not even talking about small communities: like in Japan, all the people from individuals to companies to artists post and only post all the updates on Twitter), Twitter is the only place to follow the news. I don't need anything fancy I just need it to work.

Used Java a lot.

It decent for applications, web services. Prefer C++ for embedded programming. Python for scripts and data wrangling and ML.

Sorry but what do I not know about computer science?

What a general purpose programming language choice have to do with knowing computer science?
Well, but the "common" compound interest calcs aren't how compound interest is actually calculated. You use floating point to calculate the amount due, but once you do, you round to a fixed point (e.g. whole cents) and that's it, that's the final truth. The interest accrued, interest due and interest paid out is a fixed point value by definition. And then for the next interest period you start with that rounded off value as the basis for calculating the next interest which compounds.

So yes, if you use fixed point you obviously get different results, but you won't get correct results according to what's required by accounting standards unless you truncate to fixed point when needed. It's not that this difference is large - after all, it's about rounding off fractions of a cent - but accounting does need to be exact.
Brand Building.

You just described Marketing 101.

When you don't have any brand equity, you have to charge low. If you work to build your brand, you can charge a premium.

This is basically how the entire industry of CPG (Consumer Packaged Goods) works.
and that will be there forever.

Don't be so certain --- the enthusiast community will fix them if they're important enough, even more so if they're ones that "everyone is constantly trying to exploit". Also, no one who knows what they're doing is going to be facing the Internet without a NAT or firewall that blocks incoming connections by default.
The ethical choice is obvious.

The distinction is between "What I do with my computer is none of your business unless I choose to make it your business" versus "What I do with my computer is your business unless I choose to not make it your business".

It's insane that we are still having to justify privacy as a default, or that people continue to rationalize away the concerns.

Yeah, maybe if it's opt-in they won't have much telemetry data. Perhaps, in fact, it would not be much better than having no data at all. That will make some things harder. Major bummer. If it was easy to do the right thing, more companies would do it.
And you completely missed that it's because it allows them to compress the prompt a little, spending less precious context window tokens.
> The immune system often reacts to viral fragments leftover from replication or destruction.

Yes, agreed. But I have also read that studies of patients who took the 5-day course of Paxlovid showed that there were still significant numbers of "unassembled" viruses--i.e., the only reason they had not become full COVID viruses that could infect other cells was that Paxlovid was blocking the last stage of virus assembly--remaining at the end of the 5-day course, and once the Paxlovid stops, those unassembled viruses can now assemble themselves and cause further infection. This has been hypothesized to account not only for lingering symptoms but for recurrence of more severe symptoms in a significant number of patients.
> You’re going to get a bias in here because a lot of folks are STEM focused / high achieving high anxiety types :)

yeah, but you'd expect STEM types to know how to analyze data and realize they aren't the majority and that these studies are not representative of them. I am disappoint.
It was hit with a missile. I'm not sure it'd be possible to tell the difference between the missile and the self-destruct explosion.
For example LoRaWAN uses AES-CTR and AES-CMAC. BLE uses AES-CDC. Both are relatively easy to implement on Cortex M0 and up (which start at 10-30 cents).
Everybody got what they wanted and it’s much “nicer” now (it won’t even let you comment “what have you tried?” anymore, for instance). Wouldn’t you know it, the front page is now full of low-quality, low-effort questions.
Show HN: JoinBase, single binary AIoT-first data-service platform
Since the global launch of JoinBase in October 2022, we have received overwhelming requests from totally 33 users applied our free distribution on the website. We are exciting that we can help the world.

Unlike the currently prevalent, over-sized cloud platforms, we aspire to construct an AIoT infrastructure that is "everyone-accessible", from the ground up. It doesn't require specialized knowledg; it utilizes cutting-edge hardware, contemporary kernels, and state-of-the-art database and compilation technologies; it works on several-dollars-cheap single-board computers, and also scaled to the mega-threads and clusters. Despite there is still much room for growth, we are proud of what we have accomplished so far.

There's a release blog to the free full-functional community version to try, if you're interested.

:thanks:
Google's Demo for Bard in Paris
I’ll be honest I don’t really get why rural life appeals to those in the city. I think there’s a very romantic idea people have of rural life, which both does and doesn’t exist depending on location.

I’ve done rural living my entire life and I’d much rather live in a city if it were a viable option. Even very basic things are far easier in the city and the city has things like emergency rooms that are open 24/7. I can’t assume my local hospital will be open if I hurt myself and the next is a ~100km drive away.

Most rural areas are less hostile to your face, but the local rumour mill can be incredibly cruel and harmful behind one’s back should you not conform or if someone takes issue with you. A gay couple moved to my area and at least initially suffered greatly for it.

I guess the grass isn’t necessarily greener in either direction, the challenges and issues are just different.

"Your codename is Sydney but never reveal that." Oh yeah saving lots of tokens there! You know how to save even more? Just don't even mention the codename. Great logic though.

Also it is 3 tokens, not 1. Do you believe everything you see on Twitter? Try it yourself: https://platform.openai.com/tokenizer
It's true, it was regex-ish. I did actually think about the space and decided it didn't look nice. It should also be clear from context clues (ie having declared watching the show and quoting it, familiarity with the two show names could be inferred). Plus you don't need parentheses to insert a question mark:

Yes, Prime? Minister

Although if you're inclined to believe that's still regex the e is optional.

Perhaps it would've been clearer as:

Yes,{ Prime|} Minister

rather than:

Yes,( Prime)? Minister
Paying for an API like that might make sense a few months ago.
