Why? It will continue to do exactly the same thing. If that thing had no value to you why are you getting it?

Edit:

> Because the world moves forward. Something that might have worked well 5 years ago but has had no updates or improvements to keep up with competition is ultimately not as useful as it once was.

Not everything is a javascript library though.
We absolutely do already :D

GarageBand was always pretty decent on iPad back in the day, at least as a scratchpad for ideas. But yes, this is exciting. I'd quite like to see something like Ableton or Bitwig make its way onto iPad as well.
I don't know exactly how to feel about this. On one hand, I'm in complete agreement that property owners should get to decide how much (if any) parking they build. On the other hand, I don't like this is codified at the federal level.
I've got a Steam Deck and I've been curious about using that as a music composition tool. The controls offer some interesting possibilities as performance inputs.

The problem is that all Windows or Linux music apps tend to presume a large monitor and a mouse and keyboard. I've not found anything terribly usable.
I'm going to get so fat eating fast food just so I can test out my prompt injection attacks on the Wendy's menu.
Why would you want to use iPad version if you already using it for Mac? It’s a big pain due to the file system and storage limitations. The ipad version is aimed more at non professional use but still giving them professional features. Would never touch ipad version, totally different use case. You won’t see Hollywood types saying I’m gonna use this because, because it’s touch screen
And Bytecoder which targets Wasm GC. https://github.com/mirkosertic/Bytecoder
If drivers are on their phones and hit an attendant, than that'd be a nice payout from the driver's insurance \ negligence.
I’ve noticed they’re mostly staffed in the back cooking though, which is arguably a much better task for a human than recording basic information into a computer system. I trust a LLM to get my order right more often than someone who’s soul has been completely crushed by the banality of their task in life. At least making the food is actually doing something.
For experiments it is often a good idea to purposefully limit them so that if they do escape they can't become too entrenched.

In this case probably the right number of address bits would have been 16. That would be big enough to to build test networks (real or simulated) with more hosts than were currently on ARPANET, but small enough that it would not take too long for ARPANET growth to hit the limit.

With 32 bits the running out of addresses problem is far enough in the future that someone choosing to go ahead and put the experiment in production is not making a problem for themselves. They are making a problem for whoever has their job long after they are retired.

With 16 bits the running out of addresses problem is soon enough that they can see that it might be something they might have to deal with.
I wonder if Google allow people to run advertising campaigns targeting people in abortion clinic waiting rooms?

From a technical standpoint, it should be possible.

Years ago, before ad tech became nearly as out-of-control as it is today, lawyers were using either Google or Facebook (I forget which) to target ads at people waiting in hospital emergency rooms.
I'd say no, back off and shut up.

Especially if you are like Nextcloud client - just killing Explorer if you like so (without asking the user first) and then even rebooting the machine without asking user first.

It's a glorified sync client, why the hell it should behave like that?
It doesn’t sounds like it was run of the mill data logging. I don’t think they had explicit lists of people who watch videos of tattoos?
I get that, and maybe I'm being incredibly naive, but can't the schools utilize existing pipelines to inform the parents immediately? When we had a snow day, they'd call with an automated message and let us all know. Isn't there something in place to do the same for emergency situations? If not, wouldn't that be something relatively simple to build?
Some of us are software engineers (not just hackers and makers) and feel compelled to point out that if you're writing code which points firehoses of internet traffic at end users of your app, you should be aware of techniques to ensure that code is functioning correctly.

I would have loved to read mention of "testing" or "regression tests" in the author's summary of learnings. "Be careful" and "monitor bandwidth" don't really resonate with me as a sign the author gets it yet.
Yes. I will not accept marketing/second guessing from a robot. If I say I want a #2 with a small coke - the acceptable thing is for it to tell me the total and to move forward. Now if I say gimme a #2 with a coke, and it asks would you want a medium or large fry or drink, that would be acceptable as my request wasn't specific enough to be fulfilled.
If you look at the cities built in the Soviet times, where there were no parking space mandates, you'll see what will happen. People still buy cars, and those cars are just parked everywhere on the street, in the building courtyards, etc. Only on the last couple of decades (if that) underground parking became norm for high rise residential and commercial buildings in big cities. So unless you somehow plan on dissuading people from car ownership, I feel this will turn ugly... Especially in such a car-centric society like the US.
Glad I moved to Reaper, then.

Mind you, I'm still running Final Cut for video making. Hope I don't have to bail on that too. I'll keep running the version I have, but much like I don't use Adobe at all, I won't run such a program if I have to rent it.

Exception, XCode :D most certainly have to pay yearly for that! But I view it as paying for authorization as an Apple dev, not so much as 'for the app itself'.
I think they were probably just asked to be as accurate as they could, and no more. There's no clear and compelling reason for a blanket recommendation to avoid social media altogether.

But I'm largely with you. As a practical matter, it's easier just to avoid it entirely.
Come on. The VP of whatever signed off on the press release and moved on. There’s a problem here.
> but the current tokenization merges digits according to their frequency

Haha, that's even worse. I've not looked at the tokenization in depth; I just assumed digits were individual symbols. Thank you for the correction.

Any idea why this tokenization was used for digits? I understand that being blind to the input content and just learning a tokenization through frequency analysis has its merits for language, but the whole number thing seems awful. Any benefit on density fitting into context window seems worthless with how much harder it makes understanding of what the numbers mean.
Good example of an additional defense that’s possible. But it’s significantly more complicated to set up, and can run into issues with large sites that are updated frequently.
You purchased a license, not the software. What does the included EULA say?

Next question, if Adobe's license with dolby became retroactively invalid, they might have done the IP equivalent of selling stolen goods. This might make you a pirate even if you have no way to know it.

Morally, you're probably in the clear. Legally, you're in 'interesting case' territory, so lawyers can make you bleed for years. But that's basically always the case for just about any IP on this planet, so the question is basically: Are you worth the bother for Adobe or Dolby?

Well, this clearly references this wonderful article: https://eukaryotewritesblog.com/2021/05/02/theres-no-such-th...

The idea is that our taxonomy selects a group named "trees", but there's little internal coherence in that group, which probably results in more online hilly wars in the plant-loving communities than we the laypeople can think of.

There's a difference between maintaining the right to do something and wanting to do something or preparing to do something.

> It's a bit like hiring a programmer to build a fairly standard mobile app, but deciding that it has to be done in a blockchain-based microservice framework with some AI thrown in, written in a research language designed for someone's MSc thesis. Tell the programmer not to questions these decisions OR ELSE, then blame them when the project fails, and you have roughly the situation in some states' education sectors.

I would actually make a more grounded analogy.

Let's pretend for a moment there exists some very large, well-studied and scientifically-valid body of research which says object-oriented programming is unequivocally bad. Programmers who follow object-oriented development practices are invariably less productive and create more security vulnerabilities. While these findings have been well-known to computer science researchers for decades, they have been unilaterally ignored by the technology industry, which continues to use languages such as Java and C++. Software engineers with experience in object-oriented development are paid higher salaries. Object-oriented programming continues to be taught at colleges and universities.

Eventually, the research about OO hits the mainstream press. Experts calculate OO is responsible for a zillion additional ransomware attacks per year, leading to numerous deaths at hospitals around the world.

Would you hold individual programmers responsible for using object-oriented programming?

You can replace OO with whatever holy war topic you prefer. Memory safety. Strict typing. React. Electron. POSIX. Serverless. Scrum. In at least one case, it's probably true.

As another commenter says, you can use socat. Specifically, you can run it in double client mode (see http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/doc/socat-gender.txt) to connect the UNIX socket to the service.
I guess my mac logic pro license won’t cover the iPad version, right?
Yes. I live near where this woman protests. Those sources you've provided are clearly biased and very inaccurate. She was arrested after breaching a protection order in that particular space after being repeatedly warned not to and being given the chance to move 100m up the street. She chose not to, and was arrested.

ADF in particular are not nice people. In 2003 they even tried to recriminalise homosexuality in the US.[1]

Speaking as a local resident who has to put up with her group taking up space, disrupting locals and during the pandemic flanking the outside of the abortion clinic with their faces covered, I think they should move 100m up the road where their impact is limited but they can offer whatever "help" they want to people who seek it.

You're saying that making something more comfortable for new users is the same as marching towards a walled garden? Linux has been criticized for decades about its inaccessibility to the masses. I'm about as hardcore a Linux guy as they come, and were it not for these sort of improvements, I'm not sure my wife and kids would have been willing to use Linux on all of our home computers. And as much as some people complain about the GPL license, it has been remarkably useful in keeping Linux free from corporate take over.

Ya, same. The classes weren’t engaging, I did better just reading the book and doing homework in class.

In his book, Hsieh wrote about three types of happiness: pleasure, passion, and purpose.

Congratulations on creating and sharing this amazing tool with the world. Can’t wait to give it a test drive.
I don't see how this really interacts with the parent comment. In practicality caste has been an immutable construct, and is currently the basis of much discrimination. I don't think anyone is saying that the single defining feature of India is caste. But it is an oddity to see people defend a concept that the vast majority of the world would define as unjust.
Mobile phones are no longer optional devices that citizens can do without. The noose is tightening and even in "enlightened" privacy regimes like in Europe, it slowly but surely becomes impossible to participate in normal activity without using one. Digital identity, access to banking services etc. are all routed through this device.

This central role of the mobile is simply incompatible with it being an adtech gadget. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. The geniuses behind regulation and policy making in this space must decide what sort of game they are playing, why are they procrastinating and what the endgame is.

I can think of three options going forward:

* Draconian restrictions on existing mobile phone platforms so that people really don't have to worry about privacy any more (but this may destroy certain business models)

* Funding a true open source mobile (e.g. linux based) as a public good so that people do have a real privacy friendly alternative that provides access to all these services

* Provide separate (non-phone) portable digital devices that support for all critical identity or payment functions that citizens cannot opt out from. I should be able to use a feature phone and such a device to accomplish all non-optional digital functions.

The bottom line is that the digitization of public sector / government / medical / financial services is now in full swing across the globe. The current arrangement is simply not fit for purpose.
Ah, I was going to join in with my own thoughts but this conversation seems to have gotten a little... personal...

For the record, I find touchscreen interfaces rather underwhelming. I've tried to love my iPad for creative purposes but I just find trackpad/mouse + keyboard faster and more versatile.

Of course - both pale in comparison to physical buttons. I dream of a touchscreen with really convincing haptics. That would be the best of both worlds.
It's very strange to me how one day 15 or 20 years ago, everything bad in the world was suddenly fascist. Before that time, there was at least this pervasive assumption that something could be bad or undesirable while not wearing jackboots.

And then a switch flipped.

In every government which abuses its people, arresting dissidents was the first resort of the dictators and autocrats.
Kids may be socially isolated if they’re not present online.
To a certain extent you have to ask what does a one-off purchase of an App mean any more. We got to a point on desktop where you could buy a windows XP application and it'd last forever, and that's fine. Or even a OS X application for several years. But mobile operating systems are still a treadmill. If you buy the app what are you getting? This version and no updates? That's not how iOS works. Will it support future iOS versions? Do you get the new features? Can you install it on a new device if you buy a new device? You bought it one off, if a new version of iOS comes out and the old app isn't supported what do you do?
Yeah I agree, its kind of silly that we allow ancient irrelevant and overly broad laws to stay on the books, especially in most societies that ignorance of the law is not an excuse. For example, in Canada, the police can issue a DUI if you have a BAC exceeding the limit for driving up to 2 hours after you have parked your car. If they literally went to every bar and drinking establishment (or door to door) and enforced that to the letter, it would be changed in quite a hurry.

I didn't notice a simple, practical piece of advice: Leave your phone at home.

It would be inconvenient but if I did something I wanted to keep very private, I would leave my phone on my desk while I did it. A change in my activity or its absence reveals something possibly happened, but at least doesn't spell it out.

Nice post. Can you give a simple example sentence where it is required? (I believe you.) I studied Mandarin and Cantonese for a few years, but I never got the level where I thought commas were required.

Yes, I am. Because the world is not black and white and outside of the US, free speech is not absolute.

In some countries, your right to to access abortion trumps someone elses right to stand outside and make you feel bad about it. I'm OK with that. As are the majority of folks in the UK.

This is legal in general.

If I got into a legal battle with Disney or Nintendo it would go like this:

>If you do lose, you will be ruined

>If you don't lose, you will also be ruined

I don't have a solution except to avoid any ambiguity and let the big corporations sort that out among each other.
I think the issue is just that the vast majority of people don't want and have no use for the kind of for the kind of thing the article talks about as "empowering the user through technology." They have no particular desire to tinker or create, but they're very happy to consume an endless stream of entertainment that requires no initiative or decision-making (beyond, say, what option to choose from an RPG menu).

If this wasn't the case, then locking down the user to one platform, as the article describes, would never have been so profitable -- most people would prefer customizability and "empowerment" over avoiding the slight inconvenience of using a different platform, and you couldn't build whole companies around locking down people at scale. But not only can you do that, those companies are hailed as being on the bleeding edge of innovation.

Now I personally find all this kinda depressing, but I think there's no point trying to turn away from it. Most people are simply very unlike the median HN user -- not in the sense of technical affinity or whatever, but in the sense of being curious and inclined to tinker -- and that is, alas, yet one more untoward fact to incorporate into your worldview.

I believe that would be covariant: `'home' | 'work'` is a subtype of `string`, and `Record<'home' | 'work', number>` is assignable to `Record<string, number>` so the subtype relationship is preserved.
They have their "internet social networks" before and after class, just not during. If they still use it during, being without until a parent can pick it up is an apropriate punishment.

Also, the kids are _in school_, their social networks are sitting in chairs, walking down the halls and eating in the cafeterias all around them. 45 minutes without checking instagram won't kill anyone.

It's generally better for your finances to not pay 100% of a committment today if interest on payments is below the immediate return of how you'd otherwise use the money.

The way we use a platform over time changes, as does options in the market and the way a business treats that platform. If we can export and keep our IP that was developed through the platform, it's not a bad thing to have the option to cut and run without having sunk purchase costs.

It also provides a signal for the business's product team to use with finance to argue for how to continue updating the product. Ongoing engagement metrics and new conversions are continually reviewed. How those change with the release of, or marketing of, different features directly drives the development of the platform—it should in the best case see a more useful product in our hands over time.
No worries. We're trying that one out on our blog posts at the moment (https://sqlitebrowser.org/blog), and it "seems ok".
