Thanks for following up! A good story -- sorry you had to go through the stress though.
First mover advantage. Android and iOS are too entrenched. It would take one of those to lose its competitive edge, like Facebook did versus Tiktok. Or for Europe to borrow a page from China and force their citizens to use this European mobile operating system while shielding it from outside competition, until perhaps it gains enough traction worldwide to challenge the dominance of the other two.

It's the same story across industries. Europe missed the fifth generation fighter aircraft boat, so now everyone is buying F-35s. Even if FCAS and Tempest ever get off the ground, the F-35 will be too entrenched in allied air forces to be dislodged.

Rockets too. Europe missed the reusable rocket boat, and now SpaceX is eating the Ariane's lunch, for the most part, except for politically sensitive European projects for which they still use more expensive Ariane launchers. The rocket market is more prone to disruption however, because launches are a one-and-done kind of thing. Switching launch provider is easier than switching operating system or the composition of an air fleet.
Maybe I misinterpreted your “I strongly disagree” comment. I thought you meant Musk and Gates are the worst people to be cloned.
Maybe it‘s simply creation date vs. last modified.
what's wrong with kdenlive?
I mthink realistically, as long as Google can abuse its market position to make any other mobile OSs nonviable by withholding access Gmail and Youtube and so on, nothing can challenge Android and iOS (which has the critical mass so that Google can't do this to get rid of it).

Even Microsoft with its infinite money failed when competing, because a monopoly to most of the Internet's email and video is just that powerful.
I do like the npf_pprintf function with a call-back that is called for each outputted character. It would have been nice to have such a function in the C standard.

Even beter would be an interator interface, that gives you the next character each time it is called.
Google search is basically never down.

AWS is basically never down.

WhatsApp is basically never down.

Time for GitHub to grow up?
Android is a mobile-specific middleware layer running on a European operating system.
I ignored it by not using the “Search” bar, I simply just never used it. Until recently, when they started showing a colorful drawing on my taskbar that changed depending the current holiday. It was so annoying and distracting, thankfully I had the option to hide the search bar I also hided the useless widget bar.
> Europe is so heterogeneous that any claims about it as a whole are misleading at best.

I don't think that's the case, especially among the younger generations which are largely English speaking and grew up with the internet.

Also, for example, if you looked at the US in detail you'd find just as many cultural difference between individuals states, it's likely true of any large country or federation.

Depends how you look at it. If 95% of games play fine on Linux, and if a significant percentage of those play better on Linux than they do on Windows, then it's clearly not as far behind as you are trying to argue it is.
Self-righteousness, violence, or tendencies to authoritarianism can be found on both left and right. But fascism means a certain kind of far-right populist politics, not just these attributes in isolation.
Do you want politicians orgies?

Now wait, let not be too hasty here. We should whiteboard this out. There are a lot of moving parts, and shutting down an idea too soon, would be wrong.

So to start, uh, just wondering, which politicians? Also, what would they be wearing?

Again, only asking for an accurate framing here.
So why did the US allow GDPR to pass? Weird incongruity don't you think?
Most alternative linux based operating systems such as Sailfish OS(0.) or PureOS(1.) are perfectly able to run Android apps. It is purely a licensing issue.

I don't think "GitHub is down" threads are known for the quality of their conversation, but sure.

I also agree with reducing (increasing?) single points of failure. I'm not trying to be pedantic, but rather observing that in practice, it's not nearly as easy as spinning up a backup Git server (which is already hard enough).

Maintaining two classes of build infrastructure throughout all your dependencies is probably not a worthwhile problem to solve, unless you want to control for the improbable risk that GitHub will be down for weeks at a time. You'd be much better off ensuring that you are able to perform rollbacks without needing to pull from the external world, because this way the worst case scenario is you run a stale version for the time that GitHub is down, in the off chance you pushed a broken version right before the outage.
For what it's worth, it's powered by statuspage.io, which is relatively industry standard for status pages.
> My goal is to understand if I still really want to be an entrepreneur

I do not have a solution for you but it seems you currently identify as an entrepreneur. I think if you want to stop this "obsession" you will need to stop identifying with it.

I would give it a defined time to obsess about it. During that time you can do something specific about an idea (not just daydreaming). The rest of the time you let the thought pass without feeling guilty, since you have a time slot later.

My recommendation is to do something physical too: swimming, pottery, walking the dog, weights...
I like ancient history and languages and I find it so funny how writing systems often developed from bad puns. Words that have sounds similar to what you are describing eg. pictures of a bee and leaf for the word belief.
It’s still explicit, just at the language level rather than the library level. (Svelte components aren’t written with JavaScript, but a language that extends JavaScript, repurposing $ labels and $-prefixed identifiers. Not appreciating that Svelte is a language and not just a library is a common cause for discomfort at the Svelte approach.)

The only part that is less explicit than some reactivity libraries is which variables’ changes will trigger re-evaluation.

Some libraries go full-explicit with the likes of foo.observe(foo => …) or computed(([foo]) => …, ["foo"]), requiring that you enumerate the properties to depend on. This is easy to get wrong, leading to bad reactivity.

Some libraries go full-implicit, tracking which properties were accessed during the call. This can be functionally perfect (provided you only use observable objects or primitive values—no Array, for example, leading to the amusing situation of some common patterns being syntactically heavier), but harder to reason about, and makes static analysis impossible in the general case, since property access can be non-local.

Svelte lies between the two extremes, needing no special syntax for it, but just noting which local variables are touched inside the block. This makes bad reactivity quite possible (non-local effects aren’t observed, including object nesting), but the language semantics of $ blocks are easy to learn, which mitigates this (though it’s still the most common sort of beginner error, when people try just using it rather than learning it). Static analysis and reasoning aren’t quite as simple as full-explicit, but are still straightforward in sanely-written code.
I'm not chemistry inclined, let alone a chemistry "nerd". I'm simply literate.

Adults know what they are taking. Children don't. Which is why we have child proof bottles.

Knowing how to take medication has nothing to do with being a nerd. It has nothing to do with enjoyment. You packed in an impressive number of silly accusations into your response. They don't substitute for making a point.

If you can wipe your rear end and pay your bills, you can read a bottle and understand what you are taking. To expect this isn't being obtuse, let alone "blatantly obtuse". Its an expectation of a basic concept of adulthood.

Adults don't chug bottles of dextromethorphan either, because its bad for them. But some children do, because they can in fact read labels and don't care about harming themselves.

You're telling me that it is uncommon for adults to have the OTC drug knowledge of DXM chugging 14 year olds?

The dosage rules are on every bottle.

The no alcohol rule is widely advertised.

Your position on epidemiologically justified public health policy and outcomes, in regard to acetaminophen, isn't upheld by the facts of public health outcomes.

I urge all adults to learn to wipe their ass (know what they are taking).
> Let’s think of it this way: would you switch to a phone that didn’t have a native Gmail app? Or Twitter? TikTok? Instagram? It would take an inordinate amount of time just for those companies to port over their software — and they’re some of the best-resourced organisations in the world. “

The funny thing is, these services all have fully functional websites and have no specific elements that need to be native. A PWA would be enough, except perhaps for Instagram and the camera/movie filters, and TikTok for the movie editor which could need to be separate apps.
My take on why a third mobile OS is hard is that phones don't have a standard BIOS type system that gets all basic I/O working on it. So having an OS that can install on existing phones is a bunch of work.

And there were previously other OSes. Microsoft has windows phone with its tiles. There was WebOS. And some others. At the commercial phone OS level, it seems it's hard to be profitable unless you have tons of users.

For the Linux like phone OS, I'd love to see one, but I feel like we get back to my original point, supporting existing hardware is hard due to device specific BSPs needed.
That's the rules-based world order and them's the rules. The US's leadership of the world is very important for human rights and freedom.
While I don't say it is, this is also a classical tactic to discredit something that could be a problem. This strategy has been used with other projects. If you are worried that this has potential it will ruin your project/income you're going to shit-talk it.

Some years ago there was a leak of plans to do that very with Tor. Spreading FUD so less secure systems are used. Discrediting contributors, turning people against each other and so on.

Common theme. If someone has a way to break something, they'd at least gain publicity for it, if they have any positive interest they'll at least mention a source or provide any chance for rebuttal (the whole point of the scientific method), if neither happens be at least skeptical.
>Germans are probably the most privacy conscious people in the western world

Yeah, that's why every morning on the tram I see the average Germans texting on Tinder, WhatsApp, Snapchat, Telegram, and mindlessly scrolling through Instagram and TikTok, the most privacy focused apps on the planet. Sounds very privacy conscious, handing your most intimate data to US & Chinese companies.

Also, A lot of German are really into digital banks and brokers lately like N26, Scalable Capital, etc. which report everything to the Government authorities anyway, so I'm not buying the whole privacy angle. Cash usage at small businesses is mostly to enable tax fraud.
I switched from Next.js to Svelte over a year ago. Since then, I have built medium-sized business products, and I can confidently say that Svelte is a joy to use. Their developer experience is on point. I agree with all the points made in the blog above, especially when it comes to working with forms. Svelte makes it easy with its inbuilt store, form actions, pageload, serverload, animations, and all of this results in a blazingly fast app. I even made an open-source version of my blog with SvelteKit.

I don't get this point. They even talk about a specific diet and Q&A around it in this article. There are superfoods and "miracle" diets. The whole "Blue Zones" diets all have similar foods to what is mentioned about Mediterranean.

Good riddance to what? Those developers have a job in this scenario, soon they will not.
Your insistence on using the word "nobody" there is an absolute without evidence. You underestimate the visualization capabilities of savants. For my 3D game prototype, I created all of the meshes programmatically and wrote *and debugged* a mesh-slicing algorithm using only visualization in my own mind. Mostly I did indeed use primitives like spheres, cones, and boxes. Granted, huge caveats - I never finished a game from the prototype, and the meshes involved weren't that complicated; I was modeling imaginary robots not people.

It's painful for me to use GUI or CAD tools because they're so much slower and less capable than the Dall-E image generator/CAD modeler/Star Trek Holodeck I have inside my own brain. This is in some ways limiting, analogous to a mathematician refusing to learn to use a computer. Nevertheless back to your point, I'm fairly certain I could model a plausible human programmatically from geometry primitives, but I won't claim to until I try. However what I am certain of is somebody can.
Obviously just an example, but even so, unless you already have the workflow established, writing human text describing something could be easier than manually doing it.
When Windows breaks, it stays broken. I had a W10 install unable to update, running the update would break windows and be unable to log in at all. It required rolling back the upgrade. Best part? It would automatically try to install that update every time I forgot to click the dead mans switch. I'd regularly try to unlock to a useless machine. No online support was helpful, just had to re-install.

Linux is the opposite, nearly everything has a documented fix. It can be fixed in less time than it takes to backup, reimage, and reconfigure your machine.
At least on macOS and Debian it is on by default:

> UpdateHostKeys is enabled by default if the user has not overridden the default UserKnownHostsFile setting and has not enabled VerifyHostKeyDNS, otherwise UpdateHostKeys will be set to no.

It's not that useful for actual key rotations, though; the use case seems to be more geared towards switching to newer key types (e.g. adding an Ed25529 key seamlessly) than replacing a potentially compromised key. At least I couldn't find a straightforward way for the OpenSSH sshd to actually provide two keys of the same type to my client.

All in all, I‘m not a fan of the feature – it seems to complicate key security for pretty marginal benefits.

That said, it did auto-upgrade the Github key for me as far as I can tell!
I'm not sure that's true though. The first line of the ChatGPT blog post is:

> We’ve trained a model called ChatGPT which interacts in a conversational way

It really seems that GPT-3/3.5/4/etc are the generic models, and that ChatGPT is the fine tuning, a safety layer, and so on. This is also why ChatGPT and Bing don't provide the same or even remotely equivalent answers despite both running on GPT-4.
Calling this a "set theory game" is a bit of a stretch. It's really about set arithmetic. I was disappointed.
It's also pretty hard to prevent installation of libc. It's part of the OS, like dbus and systemd. There are distros of Linux that don't use systemd.

And I'm a power user who loves systemd. :)
It's not down for everyone. I can browse just fine, but my pushes get rejected, so that qualifies as "degraded performance" for me.
GDPR doesn't apply when "national security" is at stake, so the governments themselves are not restricted by it.
'Dynamic Programming' has to be the worst name for a concept in all of computer science. I can never remember what it refers to. Then, now and then, I come across something interesting that makes it seem like a big deal, look it up, roll my eyes and immediately forget it again.
Just found that out the hard way.
Hmm this is quite an incident, I haven't seen Github reject all pushes to all repos like this in quite some time.... hopefully not SSH key related
It sounds like it's basically an Android fork in which case it's arguable that it "challenges Android" although, like Amazon's Fire OS, it challenges parts of the ecosystem built on top of Android.
Wow, this link shows $326 for my country. Even more expensive than most legit resellers.

Ask HN: What will Business Chat in Teams be like? When will AI be a colleague?
I am intrigued by the forthcoming Business Chat feature for Microsoft Teams <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35182827>. From what I have read, it is going to produce summaries of conversations. That's not quite what I'd imagined, which is something like this:

----

A: ... and that is why I think we should go with option 1.

B: No, the points you mentioned support my case for option 2.

C: Nothing you guys have said changes my mind about option 3 being best.

D: Business Chat, what do you think?

BC: Based on this discussion, and my research, option 1 seems more realistic but option 2 would be more profitable if possible. My reasons are ...

C: Business Chat and you guys all don't understand point N, which is the main reason why option 3 is best.

B: Higher profit is exactly why I think option 2 is the way to go.

A: No, our rival is going to hit the market next month. We need to get something out there ASAP. Option 1 can do this.

D: You've all given me things to think about. Thank you for coming. Business Chat, email me a summary of the meeting, and set up a followup meeting for Tuesday 3pm.

----

That is, AI used as a colleague/assistant, not necessarily subordinate but not seen as omniscient, either; another viewpoint to consider. When do you think the above will be feasible? This year? Five years?
I believe this is where the "Ambiguity Function" comes in. For a given waveform, it tells you the ambiguity between Doppler shift and time delay.

The main thing that makes Macs overpriced is the lack of 15" MacBook Air, so to get a large screen you need to buy a CPU/GPU you don't need.

And the hardware is too good for the software longevity. A 10 year old Windows machine works fine if you have decent hardware (so, desktop, not laptop) but Apple EOLs and rots the software compatibility of your perfectly functional hardware after 7 years
Nah. Plenty of gamers and linux users disagree.
Is it slow while typing on your phone or is it slow showing the characters in the input field? Which phone do you use?
But then how would they get your contact list, geo-location, track you, and other things which generate profit?
RO system is generally probably easier to keep up than a RW system that is constantly innovating.
One thing that helped me is realising that I should be selling ild electronics, so it goes to people that need it most. Instead of having it collect dust in the drawerr untill it becomes c dead and obsolete
Except for ISPs. Whenever a major website goes down, people blame their ISPs. When their own provider goes down, they don't remember which one they use and blame every other one in their region as well.
I'd strongly argue that for most people "90-95% compatible" means "not compatible" if it doesn't run the one AAA game they care about, and "could get it to work by messing with versions of other software" is incompatible with the words "perfectly usable".

If it doesn't work out of the box and requires fiddling, then it's at most "barely usable", it doesn't even meet the standard for "decently usable" much less "perfectly usable".

I have a basic understanding of multiple coding languages, but I don't have the time to learn the exact syntax or commands for each one. ChatGPT has given me so many tips and scripts on coding in VBA, M query, DAX, JavaScript, and more. I'm currently using it to customize a Power Apps solution, which would take me 10 times longer without ChatGPT.
WhatsApp would be the only thing you couldn't replace with a web version, since you need to use WhatsApp on your phone to verify your session.

Sites like Instagram will also become increasingly aggressive in pushing you towards the app as you use the mobile web version until it eventually denies you new content. I believe Twitter and TikTok are the same.
Hahah yes. It’s useless for tracking my ISP. Luckily my ISP is super nerdy and respond within minutes on their dslreports forum.
I am about to finish my bachelor's degree in applied computer sciences and am worried about my future.

Sure, this whole process will take some time like 10 - 20 years in which I can build up some skills.

But as life in general becomes more expensive and I want to make good money (let's be honest, we all want that), I consider doing a masters degree in either
- Business Informatics/(IT-)Projectmanagement, or
- Artificial intelligence

As I am not the strongest in maths and I like the Idea of leading a Project, the first one would be my preference.

Do you have any suggestions on this? Will Project-managers also be replaced to the same extend as devs?

I think ultimately what I am looking for is "some cool tech job that gets me paid 90K but without having to being Dijkstra-smart"
Load-balance your luxury, don't min-max.
True, but there are other ways to go about it. Rather than trying to challenge someone's setup, which (I assume, apologies if incorrectly) you aren't familiar with, you can start by asking them about the setup and how they keep it independent from GH. Let them expose either the success of the endeavor or its shortcomings. Such an approach is a constructive one, whereas trying to challenge someone is an antagonistic approach. We're all in this together, so let's keep our discussions constructive, and focus on learning from each other rather than try to tear each other down.
Audio-wise it should probably support LADSPA/VST plugins and that's all, there is EVERYTHING audio wise available between those 2 formats. I think it supports VST2 currently ?
Data Platform Requirements and Expectations
Oh, you're not wrong. I didn't mean to imply that chess players read PGN files cold. They definitely load it into Chessbase for actual use.

But I'm just saying it's a nice QoL feature to be able to paste a PGN into an e-mail or load it up in your text editor and just be able to, at a glance, get info like who the players were, how the game ended, how long it was, etc. Often that's the thing you need to decide if this is a file you want to load into Chessbase in the first place.

It's not a killer feature or critical use-case, but it is good ergonomics and you're not going to supplant PGN with some binary encoding just because it's a few kilobytes smaller because of it.
