Ha. Your example is rather specific seeming to me, as I actually work on one of the big 5 Canadian banking iOS apps here in Toronto.

For obvious reasons; we don’t ship to alternate stores - even if such a thing as iOS sideloading existed; we wouldn’t support it, and we of course do not support anything but the Play Store on Android.

It’s obviously partly a support cost issue - there would be less than 1% of our millions of users using F-Droid, etc - and, more importantly; it’s a security and support issue.

I think for a while we even had some sort of check that would detect a jailbroken iPhone or rooted Android device and attempted to refuse to run on them. Security is so far above the #1 priority working in banking it’s insane. We’d never consider anything outside of Apple or Google’s official solutions. We actually have real life contacts at Apple to help address specific security or approval concerns; which is practically unheard of.
IMO think about follow-up, not time management itself..
Any links to those videos/interviews? I’d be curious to listen to them. Thanks.
Can Your Site Handle Going Viral?
2FA is rife with problems. FIDO2/WebAuthn isn't tied to biometrics and can be inconvenient. TOTP can get out of sync and can be phished. Email can also be phished. Voice and SMS are vulnerable to SIM swaps. Now we're seeing that passkeys are horribly opaque without proper management and at risk of getting lost.

Le sigh.
There are two paths towards building small binaries:

- build all of your dependencies yourself (including standard libs) and ensure they're built with LTO, and link everything statically. Everything you don't actually need will be removed.

- link everything dynamically. The total image size is huge, but technically it's not part of your binary, and can be shared with other binaries as well.
Facts. You have to forgo native scrolling and basically re-implement all desired scroll behavior in JS in order to get rid of fixed position scroll jank.

I've been interested in re-implementing smooth scrolling in JS to mimic native but.. Even if you hit solid native refresh at all time, I feel you'd have to switch your entire site to JS controlled scrolling for consistency and even then the scroll feel might not match native scroll on other pages per system settings.

It's a bit of a rabbit hole.
Certainly, however I was specifically replying to the parent comment in context.
Well yeah not everyone is lucky in life. Most of this planet wasn't born in a nice middle clas white family living in a leafy suburb.

Even in my ostensibly rich as sin European socialist country there are paupers. Minimum wage is something like 12 euro.
The wait time differs based on the device. I had to wait a week until I could use my Pocophone F1.
They always sold a small adapter for magsafe 1 to magsafe 2. Still do in fact. $10 at the apple store right now.

Not much different than forcing someone to trash a micro-usb cable for a new usb-c cable. except the magsafe adapter has far less plastic in it.
There's no private accounts, private posts or direct messages on Bluesky (yet).
Were you able to stop using Copilot with that extension? I'm waiting for Copilot X and my Copilot use is very minor..
Erm, why would you ever want an app for your bank on your mobile phone? So that when you get mugged, it can turn into a kidnapping?

I use some bank apps because they're quicker than the websites. But I do this with a cheap Nexus 7 tablet that stays at home with a label saying "full take" stuck to the top to remind me to not trust it with any sensitive information.

Segregating apps onto different devices is the way to go to protect yourself from corporate malware.
Obviously a typo -- done -> some

This is a weirdly confrontational comment.
An open solution... like WebAuthn?
Cloud you please elaborate in detail how someone not using Yubi keys should adopt it by having hardware keys and how much keys should one have?

How Keys are different than an OTP app like Authy?
The blog post is Apple-centric, yes, but it appears that right now Google only allows passkeys to be saved to Google accounts?
Wireless charging has all the components from non-wireless charging, then some extra pieces to handle the wireless parts.

Where are you getting the manufacturing carbon savings to offset the loss of efficiency?
Yes, they do completely different things.

The first affects the layout of object files. The second affects the optimizations done when linking.
> I'd really like people who are comparatively better-off to stop telling us what's "enough".

I'd think that a better idea would be to make clear good faith arguments for your case, and listen to arguments from people making the opposite case.

Disqualifying people from speaking is not constructive, and with the way power works, any disqualification would be of the people too close to the issue i.e. the people whose livelihoods depend on that $15. It is absolutely bizarre that people who claim to speak for the marginalized think that removing people from the discussion won't start with the people with the least power.

related: if there's any job that's going to be completely eradicated by LLMs, it's customer service/telephone work. That's almost all of the shitty office jobs other than data entry. If the Philippines loses customer service, that's going to cause a major employment hole that's going to need to be filled. Not to mention India, but at least there are more opportunities in India.
I’ve gotten good insight into what takes up space in binaries by profiling with Bloaty McBloatface. My last profiling session showed that clang’s ThinLTO was inlining too aggressively in some cases, causing functions that should be tiny to be 75 kB+.

Implementing a USB C cable, that works better on apple specific chargers, without giving that functionality to competitors, is bad faith, and against the purpose of the law.

If they end up pulling back on the plan to do this, then the warning worked.
How does one get one of these jobs? It sounds like a nice WFH gig for folks like my wife who don't really want full-time and don't need benefits.
I'm a happy Emacs user myself. Nobody change anything for my sake.
The submission in question:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35838504 (> 90 comments)
I have exactly the same problem, the middle connector on one side always gets burned. A quick search on google shows that this is a common problem, so I would actually check if this is a common problem or not before defending Apple.
It absolutely is fair to expect Emacs to use industry standard terminology to avoid confusing users. At this point, keeping the outdated, idiosyncratic terminology and default UI paradigms serves no purpose except unnecessary gatekeeping.

> (then try doing the same with Apple or Microsoft and see what happens :-) )

Microsoft, the authors of Visual Studio Code, the editor most developers use? Whose team has been lauded for being super responsive to developer feedback?
The early days of programming was also text in the form of pencil on paper, then the program was transferred to the machine in various manual ways, such as flipping toggle switches, followed by punch cards. But the actual process of writing programs was always text. Even before electronic computers people wrote down algorithms to be executed by themselves on paper, or by rooms full of people whose job title was ‘computer’.
GAE is actually still pretty good tbh. However it has it's limitations and even though there are things like Cloud Run et al I still find GKE is the best option.
I made a open-wrt repo that auto-builds Tailscale for my older GL-Inet router for this exact use case: https://lanrat.github.io/openwrt-tailscale-repo/
Let's circle back and remember that my post was a study of birth, death, and medical records, to which the response was "that doesn't feel right."

The data suggests your feelings are incorrect, and that things were not as dangerous as you feel they are. I'm not even sure what you mean in this case at all: people still washed their clothes, garden tools are not any more sterile now than they were then, and refrigeration can be worked around by different dietary and food storage choices. (Ironically the need for refrigeration partially came with societal advancement: fresh milk for example was traveling farther and farther and increasingly transactional circumstances, which meant it was more likely to carry food-borne diseases whereas, when you go further back, nobody was waiting days to drink their fresh milk and thus didn't worry about it.)

I’ve no doubt that there was a statistical impact, but it is probably rendered invisible by such things as skyrocketing obesity, heart disease, and cancer rates caused by the modern environment and lifestyle. This is probably especially true when you consider the QoL of many older people today. This is also apparent when the cited article mentions that many fewer people died of heart disease, but they did die of heart damage caused by infections. They lived just as long, you might think antibiotics would keep us going even longer, but we tread water because now we simply die of heart disease at about the same age or a little younger instead.
Ah I wasn't aware of that, as pretty much all of Europe is by blood, although from Wikipedia in the French case it's not entirely automatic like say the US
Are you saying remote work only works for Seniors, or remote work is over for Seniors?
> I am a lot more productive, and even creative working from home

What’s the data to support this statement? It sounds like a feeling. Do you have data to support whether or not your teammates’ productivity are affected by you being remote?
Does he own any equity in the company?
I thought Stackoverflow Jobs had shut down!
> This rhetoric that remote work is bad for business seems to always come from people whom I suspect have an ulterior motive

This sort of perspective is killing any real chance of having a productive conversation about the topic. There's a chance a person very similar to you simply disagrees with you on a very complex topic. There's pros and cons to the office and WFH alike. You clearly do well with WFH, and have good reasons for it. A junior engineer like me did not, so I have a different perspective.

The next exhaustive part of the debate (which you didn't bring up, I'm simply anticipating), is the retort that my team just didn't do WFH correctly, or that Covid was a confounding factor.
Pspsps is a great way, scratching something noisy is another one, ideally like some plasticky material that they haven't heard being scratched/moved about before. Seems to trigger some innate curiosity system that forces them to investigate.
To All My Friends
Most of the companies that are declaring remote work as a failure weren’t able to establish good processes and culture on this new setup. Most of these companies are also control freak with low-trust attitude on their employees. Personally, it’s far from be a failure and being over, and likely one of the best equalizer (democratize opportunities) and productivity booster that happened in the industry. However it’s certainly not easy to adopt and integrate correctly.
This hasn't been my experience on a completely remote team that was remote (/ multi-city-office) way pre-pandemic. I think culturally you can just do remote wrong or you can do remote right and the SF-mindset-centric scene around here seems (in my experience) to not really lean all the way in on doing it right.

In that respect this is just clickbait to me.
This is great feedback, thanks!

I've updated the site to make the documentation available without having to be logged in - https://www.kvaas.cloud/documentation

As far as reliability - I've not built my db, and K(V)AAS simply leverages other cloud services. So it should be as reliable as those!

But if you ever run into something, you can reach me at frikkie@splirrit.com and I'll pick it up!
Paradoxically, we have another front-page story in which the OpenAI CEO states that the WFH experiment is over and declares it a failure. So your wife may be SOL on the WFH thing, it sounds like.

Either that or the CEO of OpenAI is being a raving hypocrite. But I'm sure that's not it.

(Downvoters are welcome to explain why sauce for a goose is unsuitable for a gander.)
In this case, yes. Because otherwise I will just go with my anecdotal observation that this is just about management feeling lonely and with less control.
Even if you buy it yourself you don't get to own it before having google bless your device, which you can only hope they will.
The tdp for the m2 is 20 watts. The article mentions a 15 watt tdp for the AMD chip. We will have to wait to see when the chips are released but it appears performance per watt will be at a minimum competitive with the m2.
Oh that's interesting, thanks, I thought most places were not doing that anymore, or had restrictions (ie former countries that split in two or similar where if before X date you can have both or choose)

> FIDO2/WebAuthn isn't tied to biometrics

Good. Biometrics (“something you are”) aren’t a second factor.
So phones will be stuck on USB-C until the EU wills that it be changed.

The EU will supposedly upgrade the mandate when a better standard comes along … but who gets to determine if the new standard is “better” enough to trigger a replacement.

Some will want it replaced while some will demand that we keep the current standard. Can the EU really speak for everyone when people can have conflicting needs and wants?

Ever thought what would happen if there are competing standards next round that are quite close in capability but are nonetheless significantly different - with pros and cons that are important to various people.

I wonder how that’s going to play out in the EU and how ugly things could get - especially with lots of money on the line.

Also who watches the watchmen? The EU is clearly not immune to corruption given recent scandals.

None of these would be issues if there wasn’t a stupid mandate. People will just use what they want and what is best for their needs.
I am a bit biased (I've been working on passkeys for about a year now on https://bulwark.id), but I don't think that passkeys either should nor have to reduce user control. Ultimately, passkeys do not have to be tied to hardware, and could just as easily be stored in software, much like passwords. What the industry needs right now is more open standards around passkeys, such as a shared file format for storing them or standard ways of transferring them, all of which should be possible.

Because passkeys have had a lot of support from the megacorps like Google/Apple, people can obviously get the impression that passkeys are just about locked-down ecosystems, but that isn't true at all. From a technological standpoint, passkeys are just as versatile as passwords and IMO will eventually be just as widespread.
One factor that you haven't mentioned is government-sponsored, man-made weaponized strains of pathogens, just like Mycoplasma Fermentans Incognitus:

_They will burn them all_

Seriously, I do not doubt the performance (I hope they do not melt their cpus and motherboards this time), but energy efficiency, which is important in laptops? I will believe it when I see it (by in depth reviews, not by what benchmarks companies release), considering the desktop ryzen 7000s got to a completely different direction. Intel had made some ridiculous energy efficiency claims in their last generation that were totally out of reality in practice.
I thought so too. But there's a website:

Er, this one:

I knew StackOverflow Jobs was going to shut down because they warned us about it. But the site itself looks up.

So you don't own it when you buy it. At best Google still owns it and they graciously allow you permission to change the bootloader after you submit to their terms of service. Also, better hope their servers are online and reachable, and that you have functional internet.
Let's be fair to a small degree: Every goddamn "smarthome" vendor is doing fake open, embrace and extend, partial protocol, hidden preference for its hardware, scummy foot dragging on good standards.

It's just that Google adds completely rudderless leadership, its world famous utter disregard for customer support, and complete lack of commitment to the recipe.
> More then double

$15k in Kansas city wouldn't even get you a studio apartment, let alone the extras like food or water. Doubling "can't even get a roof over your head" isn't exactly something to be proud of.

But sure, for one person, you're living the life at a bit over 2x the poverty level pre-tax.

> “lower 48” only made sense as a synonym for 8½ months in 1949

And yet the meaning was clear - why argue about it?

> to be precise.

What was imprecise about $30k being poverty level for a family with two children?
I live in the US. The US isn't Europe, or Japan.
it wasn't that customers came back, aspiring women noticed the gap in the market from the data leaks and chose to be sex workers, replacing the sock puppet users with real women. the hack and leak was a blessing in disguise for ashley madison.

this is already reported but once you leave the corporate sex worker exclusionary echo chamber it becomes more obvious how efficient that market is, from the supply side

it would alter most of your assumptions and make a lot of things more obvious without needing to be “studied”
He is capable, but the whole point of the story is that he doesn't want to use this capability, and is lauded for that.
In reality it doesn't make any difference at all (especially in comparison to bigger issues) but the numbers do and it's the numbers that will guide the development of low-carbon policies.
The stated goal of the article is to reduce binary size. If you want to use C++ and STL you already have decided that binary size is secondary. By the way, the article even mentions rewriting some routines in assembly.
No it's not. The median household income is lower than that figure.

The US median individual income is higher than the German median, and the US median is well below that $48k figure. The full-time median wage in the US is around $56,000-$58,000 give or take.

German wages at the median are typically ~1/3 lower than the US.

"The average monthly gross income of households in Germany amounted to 4,979 euros in 2021, according to results of the continuous household budget surveys." - from destatis.de

That's average and it's household. The true median individual (not full-time median) is far below that for example.
The point is that the roles are reversed not that you give ChatGPT to the stakeholders. ChatGPT is a programmer you hire for $30/month and you act as its manager or tech lead.

This is pointless to argue though since it’s apparent there are people for which this just doesn’t fit into their workflow for whatever reason. It’s like arguing over whether to use an IDE.
Is it because the labour is unpaid, people think their contributions are equally as valid, or even proportional to the effort they put in? Like when someone volunteers for a charity/nonprofit but does a shit job and you have to ask them politely to stop.
I refuse to use “login with XX”. I don’t want this either. It makes you dependent on somebody and I think the average person will eventually get strong armed into paying a subscription fee for their “passkey manager” even though they only have a few logins.
Because people with ADHD crave stimulation and pursuing new and exciting technologies is very satisfying.

It seems like, if anything, a language built around creating and traversing tree structures would be perfect for making compilers. But, hey, what do I know? :)
Ask HN: Books or courses to understand college level mathematics?
With high school math knowledge of geometry and algebra and quite a bit of programming knowledge, what is the best resource to get started with studying college level mathematics?

Basically I want to learn how to read and write proofs. The main goal is to understand and work through higher math books like analysis, combinatorics, graph theory, abstract algebra, etc.
There is no such country, but also, tapping people on shoulders is seen as rude and pushy in many different countries.
Have you seen any military of colonial power genociding indigenous people? They didn't even have airplanes or automatic machine guns.
I don't think it can be more obvious that this is an opinion piece. Which means that this is all too evidently about the author and iPad Pro and how they didn't get along.
I highly doubt that anyone in “rich as sin European socialist” countries is forced to choose between labeling child abuse content or homelessness. And even if we assume they were, the level of labor protections they would have in that role would far outstrip the effectively zero they have in the US.

The only definition for "early" they're giving is the line that is currently set by FDA regulation! They're treating it all exactly the same, as long as it's currently not allowed.

They have not given any other information on where to draw the line.

> even give a hypothetical example to illustrate this

No they didn't. They gave an analogy about how murder is bad. Which is no more helpful than "the most extreme possible interpretation of what the neurosurgeon said would be bad". They haven't given any examples of experiments that are okay or not okay.

All they've said is that a super extreme early experiment is bad, and then acted like the neurosurgeon said they wanted to do that. They are either ignoring the possibility of less extreme examples, or acting like everything the FDA doesn't allow is exactly the same.

I can't tell you which it is, so if you insist it's not the latter then it must be the former. That's just as bad. It's a strawman.

If they gave a non-strawman non-FDA explanation of where to draw the line, then I must be blind, so please quote it.
> if all you're doing in destructors is deallocating memory and releasing handles to system resources, this shouldn't matter.

Note that closing system resources is often abortive. On the other hand, object destructors might wait for a flush.
It shows that there's no strong-focused mission. Which is ok for a generic shareholder company - ultimately, not many care how exactly the profits are achieved, as long as there are profits. But less ok for a purposeful non-profit.
Good thing they did not made such claim. The usual argument is that they are better able to manage own time when working from home.
To a rough approximation, your site isn't going to go viral.
My anecdote is experiencing this same creativity when everyone had pen display and a shared digital whiteboard while on a video call.
I think ML use should be regulated until economy is adapted with UBI or something

You're putting the cart before the horse. ML is what will enable UBI. In the best of all possible worlds, we will look back on our present economy a hundred years from now and shudder, just as we currently do when the conversation turns to company towns and antebellum plantations.

That won't happen unless something changes, and... well, here we are, watching it change.

If zero-sum gamers in government don't "regulate" ML to death first, that is.
