I agree it doesn't do a great job explaining the issue.

You can find a better summary in [1]:

> The TPP and USMCA have a broadly worded “nondiscrimination” requirement that could be interpreted as restricting member countries from enacting policy that, while neutral on its face, effectively has a greater impact on firms from a particular country.

> This risk is not hypothetical. We’ve already seen Apple and Google wield this argument in the context of South Korea’s 2021 law targeting anticompetitive app store policies, on the grounds that it has a discriminatory effect because of its disparate impact on U.S. firms.

So basically large tech firms are trying to use trade agreements that are supposed to equalize market access to instead argue that laws aimed at their behavior are illegal under the terms of the trade agreement.

Also:

> Expansive and absolute-secrecy guarantees for source code and algorithms are another key feature of the industry-backed USMCA/TPP approach. These provisions are justified as preventing the forced transfer of software trade secrets as a condition for market access (a concern animated primarily by Chinese actions in the past)

> several organizations have pointed out that the USMCA definition of “algorithm” is broad enough to restrict the sharing of even mere descriptions of algorithms with regulators, a key part of algorithmic transparency proposals..

A lot of people are questioning the value of using nvm in CI, but I think the main reason is just that the .nvmrc file is shared between dev/CI. It's a minor benefit, but still nice.

That said, rtx is so much simpler for this:

curl https://rtx.pub/rtx-latest-linux-x64 > /usr/bin/rtx
rtx install
rtx x -- npm install
rtx x -- npm run test

it'll automatically use the .nvmrc/.node-version file. If developers want to use nvm locally, they still can.
Alyx works well on Meta Quest 2 and other non-Valve headsets.

Beat Saber is available on Steam and any standartized VR headset.

Even if not officially Nintendo games work on PC / SteamDeck and even Xbox via emulation. But that will never ever happen on Apple platform because it's gonna be proprietary, incompatible with anything and locked.
I disagree, changing the text size to adapt it to your eyes is a feature in every browser.
More like TikTok itself, maybe? I mean they are (probably) not going after the providers for transporting the downloaded app. They just plain out ban any operation of TikTok in Montana, and how this happens does not matter much. Though, it may depend on whether they understand that there is no real difference on a technical level, between the website and the app. Could also be they realize their mistake and just stop it altogether.
Apologies, that does all make sense!
Humans have been interpreting the world around us by populating it with imaginary versions of ourselves forever, I doubt it will lead us to "trust" LLM's but it certainly will lead to some serious misunderstandings.

“If you will practice being fictional for a while, you will understand that fictional characters are sometimes more real than people with bodies and heartbeats.”

Great book!
Better at leveraging their dominant position. Not so much at search or several other services.
Look, having to commute to work sucks. This isnt an empathy gap, or if it is maybe in the other direction. Commuting half an hour or more to your retail job due to essentially zoning laws isn't great, and it could be made better.
Can you even trust benchmarks these days? ClickHouse vs. Druid vs. Rockset
Are there any unbiased benchmark for databases like techempower.com does for web frameworks?
How can we collectively support journalists like Stan who face discrimination while striving to uphold truth and integrity in their reporting? Share your insights and ideas for fostering a more inclusive and equitable media landscape. Let's engage in a constructive conversation on combating racism in the media.
I wouldn't worry about that. Our software contains so much natural stupidity that artificial intelligence, even if it existed, wouldn't have a chance in hell.
The interstate commerce clause has been stretched enough that even if ByteDance was based in Bozeman, and the Montana government still wanted to ban it for some reason, they might find legal obstacles.
This, but for Matrix network! Man, the possibilities with an alerting system like this!
I agree with most of this. Maybe the problem is with how people write about the issue coupled with the modern social media driven need to edgelord it. I often see this stuff in the form of “fuck cars” type opinions that sound clueless and one sided. Of course the pro-car counter also ends up sounding clueless and one sided.

I’ve spent much of my life in dense cities and currently live in suburb (with an EV). There are things I like and dislike about both settings, and I don’t really want either to disappear. In the US we could definitely use more walkable towns and I totally support zoning reform. I also think some suburbs could be retrofitted into walkable town designs over time and I’d be down with this.
The popular file archiver 7-Zip has already moved in at "seven.zip".
I once had the chance of an Oracle DBA contract in London. If I chose to live close to work the increased money would have gone on rent. If I chose to save the extra earnings then I faced a very long commute. I passed up on the opportunity since neither option appealed. Good jobs in major cities are like that - hedonistic treadmills.
Does this make any economic sense versus a dedicated solar farm in low cost of land / high sun density area?
Interesting that this is Clojure and it doesn't mention Hoplon/Javelin[0] as prior work. I've used Hoplon/UI[1] to implement a moderately complex web app ~6 years ago. The library is practically a prototype, pretty much dead by now. However, I found the ideas interesting.

I find the biggest benefit of using a fringe library like this is the ability to read and understand the whole implementation. It's really simple compared to something like React.

There was an update, Windows Genuine Advantage, that was not part of the original XP installers that did the nagging about you using a shady key IIRC. The trick was to not install it, which was easy enough since you had total control of updates back then.
I assume he was a legit Man City supporter, because all those members of Oasis & Stone roses seem to be? Maybe they take the field at the final to "Panic (Hang the DJ)" ;)
My father grew up fairly poor in the 1930s and they often were short on food but he said they always had vegetables. They harvested dandelions, ate them, and actually made dandelion wine (according to him).

He and his siblings loved vegetables as during certain times of the year they were the one thing they had "too much of". Everything else was basically rationed but they would get various peak harvests where they could eat until they were full.
Okay, well, more than 20 years living here and I reckon the air quality is terrible and that in 2023 it should be a much higher priority than it is. I have to raise my kids here.

I’m sure the total absence of zero emissions vehicle options has absolutely nothing to do with the political influence of the Japanese automotive lobby.
Basis points.
Dare we suggest, it’s the office culture? Recently started working with a great bunch of smart people in a flat hierarchy and working in the office is actually quite enjoyable.

Previous roles, I agree, working from home was better for me, and better for the employer too.
That's quite a move of the goalpost.

The original comment refered to Google Search.

Apple employees most likely aren't allowed to use Gmail, Google slides, ... for work, but are supposed to be using iMail, keynote etc.
This is not surprising. My small company banned it weeks ago with the same reasoning. We simply do not want to potentially leak CUI/ITAR data.
There is always one other way left - the usual ways all the scummy companies do this on the web and mobile: make the consent prompt inscrutable, or feel necessary in context, or both.
The original Game Boy did sell quite well despite low resolution and ghosting. There were other devices with better screens and higher price. People chose the lower price and the worse screen. Is this also plausible for VR? The success of the Quest suggests: yes.
> I'm not even aware of such an attack existing publicly, please link relevant media articles of past attempts, including on Android. Targeted attacks go for the software because it's easier and doesn't leave a trace.

Absence of evidence != evidence of absence. It is technically doable and not that difficult, give a minute or two in private with someone's phone.

> Publicly you have GrapheneOS, privately you have security firms providing secure systems for high profiles which are targets.

Does GrapheneOS protect from part replacement?

Also I mean entire populations, such as prosecuted ethnic minorities or people with political views (cf Uighurs or HK freedom supporters). They also need to live a normal life by the way, where they can use the normal apps and not conspicuously juggle two phones all the time.
If trade deals were passed like legislation in a parliament or Congress, with time in committee and lots of room for individual legislators to add their input, there would be so much more corporate abuse it's not even funny. This would give a chance for every favored sector, major employer in a powerful legislator's district, company that the government favors at the moment etc. to add in clauses favoring them. Doing an up-or-down or vote actually greatly reduces pork.

>If it’s the EU sometimes national parliaments have no say

Yes, that is what the European Union is, by deliberate design. The individual countries voluntarily agreed to give up that power- if they didn't, they'd have been pushed around by China and the Trump administration. The EU is strength in size as a negotiating bloc, as a top 3 global economy. (Also, famously, countries can just leave the EU if they don't feel like it's a good deal)
> Bash/Sh is an objectively awful programming language.

Subjectively, not objectively.
What about the Iran Deal? Wasn't that an executive agreement made without the Senate, and wasn't that immidiately scrapped once Trump came into power?
Hi OP,

Can I ask what your answer is and why your question treats parents as a single entity?

Can you tell us more about your interaction with both your parents?

Thanks
I did, and then I didn’t, and then I did enough self work to realize how my parents’ traumas shaped them and how that affected my childhood, my own issues, and our relationship. Now I am left with compassion for them and sadness for what could have been but wasn’t.

I have kids now and am working daily to break the patterns of intergenerational trauma, hoping to have with my kids what I couldn’t with my parents.
It's been completely replaced with .exe since 16-bit computers became common.
I'm curious. How so?
> In this session, learn some of the best practices that every C++ programmer needs to ensure successful completion of a project.

I find it annoying when people say you “need” some best practice. The things you actually need are generally enforced by the tools (compiler errors in this case?). Everything else is subjective and/or depends on your use case.
That's an unhelpful feeling. With YouTube, you're given a clear choice, of which you're free to choose from: Premium, or free tier. By paying for Premium, you're rewarding the Premium offering, and by using the free tier, you're contributing to the free tier. So by paying, you're rewarding good behavior, which is providing the content as-is for a price.
For me it is more the other way round. The older I get the less understanding I have for them. As a teenager I got along perfectly with them but now that I am almost 40 I realize that they were pretty shitty parents. Especially when I realize what they did to my siblings.

Edit: To expand I have more sympathy with my mother because I know of some of her traumas growing up. But I have a harder time to excuse my father.
Adopting a higher-level language where the programmer doesn't have to worry about as much stuff generally comes with some trade-offs. Garbage collection has downsides but for a lot of use-cases they aren't significant. Saying that OCaml has a place in a world where Rust exists doesn't strike me as a very hot take.
The healthcare thing is really a moot point. Everyone who can afford private medical care in the UK goes private for anything they can. The NHS is good (and I _do_ mean just 'good' -- the quality of US healthcare is very uneven across the country, but the best care possible, by a substantial margin, is undeniably in the US) for emergency medicine and surgery, but the general consensus is that it just-barely-kind-of-works-sometimes for everything else.
Agreed on your general points. When I'm writing in Rust I'm really thinking far less about memory than I would have thought.

Ownership, yes. Way more than other languages, obviously. And it can get very frustrating at time. But this also has payoffs for thinking about concurrency.

I do think that there are places where this overhead gets extremely taxing. And complicated nested trees of objects, iterating through them, etc. like you'd have in a compiler or query planner etc. is definitely one of those places. The ownership and type system constraints in Rust make its Iterator pattern actually quite obnoxious for these kinds of things.
Also, for users that have any of the CJK languages as their default browser language, Chrome enforces a minimum font size of 10 (or 12?) pixel, so anything smaller should be avoided anyway if you care about rendering similarly for all viewers. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=36429
I have never seen such a fake and I don't think they are common or even exist, care to link?

And regarding "payloads", yes but again it's an arms race and it goes away at the next security response. Hardware gives foothold
> This means big companies have to do something otherwise they will compete with ml enhanced developers.

It's not that bad. In reality if we're looking at large tech companies, they've got senior people who know pretty much anything you want available within minutes/hours - which is something small companies just can't afford.

Ml enhanced devs may be a little bit faster and get some usually-correct help, but they won't get any wisdom.
I followed a similar beginners journey, mandrake and then Gentoo.

Oddly at a very similar period in time (circa 2003/04). I've seen a bunch of posts recently reflecting on Gentoo and people saying they got started around 2003, was there some zeitgeist around the distro at that time?
Or pay a pittance for YouTube Premium.
Have you wondered maybe that HN is where it was and you’re veering off into an area of belief system that makes you think everyone else is "MSM" brainwashed?
TLDR:

* Falsy values (empty string, empty list) should have the same behavior as None.
* Don't use `==` for comparison with None or NaN
This web app sounds like a dream come true! I'm completely hooked on opening the Google News feed when sliding to the right on my Pixel launcher, but it's often a hit-and-miss experience based on my Google searches. The idea of having full control over my news feed and being able to fine-tune it to my liking is incredibly appealing.

However, the technical proficiency required to add sources and avoid typos can be a concern. Small errors in inputting source URLs can disrupt the entire feed. It would be helpful if the app offered intuitive features to minimize such errors and streamline customization for users of varying technical backgrounds.

Despite this, I'm optimistic about the app's potential to evolve and address usability concerns. Having the ability to finely tune my news feed and tailor it to my interests is compelling. Kudos to the developers for taking on the challenge of creating a customizable news experience
A wise decision. Apple is probably a target for all kinds of spy-craft.
It was news to me. I thought 'hacker news' sprang from PG's brow as they say but apparently he just appropriated it and changed the original 'startup news' to 'hacker news'. Today, hackernews.com redirects to this site.

This perfectly mirrors the 'flipping' of the 'hackers' by the establishment. The original hackernews.com apparently was not approved. The one we're on, established ~9 years after that in '00s, is a darling of the establishment.

I love these symmetric lines in the universe.
What’s impossible about it? Where are the bans on diesel trucks in the city centre? Where are the zero emissions vehicles visible in just about every other metropolis? Where are the congestion charges? Bike lanes? Tree cover?

This is a political problem and as long as the Japanese auto lobby has the LDP in their pocket, we who live here live the consequences.
The most likely reason is that TOTP is not phishing resistant.
I listen to John Digweeds Transitions every week.
I just finished the last book available as audio and yeah, now that I think of the first books, you are totally right!
The OPs comment mentions the concern around data security multiple times. What gave you the impression they had a tenuous grasp on the situation? Feels like an unwarranted attack and that you only read what you wanted from the comment.
Someone could argue Klein is a Chomsky-like intellectual: interesting, academically challenging, but largely ineffective at actually affecting the status quo she condemns. In the end, she sells books printed by the evil corporations she supposedly despises, and she's definitely made quite a bit of money from them.
A similar question also convinced me that there's a there there at first. But then

I also tried asking GPT3/4 to play tic tac toe. That ended in epic failure.

Now I'm wondering what the difference is between these two tasks.
> For me, this is the new Raspberry

I think it's not really the same sort of thing. It's got a 4MHz CPU, for starters. I'm sure it's good for the exact cases you're mentioning, but the Raspberry Pi, even the W, is much more powerful and versatile.
You would think so, but I was told that doesn't make someone a Nazi in Ukraine.
Foveated rendering doesn't seem to have a big impact, as it is only capable of momentarily reducing the resolution of half of the screen. It's very coarse.
Perhaps you don't understand the situation. Ireland is certainly a tax haven, and the number of jobs in Ireland created by the tax arrangements are trivial compared to the amount of business that flows through Ireland on paper. Most of the tech companies which have their 'European headquarters' in Dublin have their real HQs and most of their employees in other EU countries or in the UK.

The fact that tech in general is a relatively large and important employer in Ireland is neither here nor there.
You understand you are talking to humans here, right? Actual humans, who perform a lot of actions "on autopilot", without consciously thinking about them, and who may have deeply ingrained habits which are very, very hard to change?
In the very near future, every HTML form submission is going to require a market-rate fee to be processed, precisely to deal with spam. I'm surprised it's taken this long actually.
My dad suffered a massive cardiac arrest and multiple strokes a few years ago. He fortunately survived, but that wiped away any resentment I had stored up towards him or my mom. Now I know that part of me doesn't care how different we are, I will miss them when they're gone no matter what. I recognize my privilege and fortune in this regard.
My solar-powered blog is now on lithium iron phosphate
What the hell is that write up? I never noticed that before but it makes userbenchmark look really bad.
Yes, both. Sometimes I think I don’t deserve them because they do so much for me (and my brother)
The most important part of the article is at the bottom, google's response when questioned about it:

> "The risk of confusion between domain names and file names is not a new one. For example, 3M’s Command products use the domain name command.com, which is also an important program on MS DOS and early versions of Windows. Applications have mitigations for this (such as Google Safe Browsing), and these mitigations will hold true for TLD’s such as .zip.

> At the same time, new namespaces provide expanded opportunities for naming such as community.zip and url.zip. Google takes phishing and malware seriously and Google Registry has existing mechanisms to suspend or remove malicious domains across all of our TLDs, including .zip. We will continue to monitor the usage of .zip and other TLDs and if new threats emerge we will take appropriate action to protect users." - Google.

Good thing google never gets any of this stuff wrong, and has a great appeal process for people flagged in error /s
I wouldn't take techempower as the holy grail of testing web frameworks. Most of the top performing languages+frameworks aren't representing how real developers write code.
Show HN: How to Prevent Prompt Injections
While I agree, I’d say I find SwiftUI easier and more intuitive than React. And Combine often much more frustrating than Rx.
I think we’re saying the same thing - companies are concerned about the data and security risk. I still don’t think they’re going to be able to universally ban it, and I think doing so without an alternative in place will drive them to even less secure third party chat apps that still probably use the same API behind the scenes.

And I removed the last sentence from my comment, which didn’t mention a service, only that I was interested in chatting with folks in similar positions, precisely because this is a new space and many companies are scrambling to address it.
>I really don't fit here. I used to visit everyday. Then every once a week. Now it is once a month. Adios.

lol. See you tomorrow.
> I'd rather have quiet cars and much harsher crackdowns on drivers that use them in ways that jeopardy the lives of others. There are many things drivers can do to reduce the hazard, such as slowing down, buying smaller vehicles, using cars that don't isolate outside noise, only driving when in good mental condition, etc.

I get what you're saying, but IMO, that just wouldn't work well.

If you want a better system, it's better to make as many changes as possible to the system so that problems are impossible and/or unlikely.

Personal responsibility will always have it's place, but it'll never be particularly reliable.

> It's crazy to me that we allow cars that isolate their cockpit more and more from their surroundings (quiet, small windows, high up from the ground) and instead ask the surroundings to avoid the danger.

Being quiet and high aren't issues here. Drivers aren't going to hear pedestrians - not at 30 mph. And I've never been in a vehicle that had windows that I felt affected my awareness, aside from the rear window of the Prius.

> I know, ultimately it is each person's own responsibility to avoid death, and it might make sense for the legal system to reflect that. But we don't have these laws with other dangerous things

Sure, but that's because there's enormous social utility in allowing people to drive cars. If there was a similar utility in letting people throw molotov cocktails, then there'd probably be some sort of dispensation to do just what you suggest.
Getting along with them doesn't mean I can visit for more than a week without going nuts.
This is the second reason why I am in favor of electric vehicles. The first being that pollution creation will happen somewhere else instead of inside the community where I live.
