No. My weight is not central to my identity.

If a book had an idiot villain character who was portrayed as a villain for something that is very central to my identity, I think maybe that could make me offended. I haven't seen one yet.
I have a midrange Samsung tablet (FE model) and the only "bloat" I've noticed is a Google Now replacement that I can't uninstall. That's very annoying, but that's also the only unnecessary application on there.

Samsung has to package certain applications with their device to allow Google Play, like Chrome. Google has convinced people that their browser is the norm (not the perfectly fine Samsung Internet) and that any manufacturer making their own apps to compete with theirs is "bloat".

The well-integrated Samsung calendar is a lot better than Google Calendar, but Google forced companies for years to install their version as well, despite their failure to capitalize on the unique hardware features of some devices. The same is true for many other Google apps.

I don't think I've seen random ads in Samsung's pre-installed apps. Samsung Health on my (non-Samsung) phone started advertising their new phone at me, which disturbed me, but it seems to have stopped doing that soon after all by itself. My guess is that they received more backlash than anticipated.

I'm pretty sure I could give Samsung Dex to a lot of people and they'd be fine using it as a daily driver for their computer. It does everything most people want out of Windows (a browsers and light office work) and it's not nearly as bad as some other attempts. With modern smartphone CPUs, the UI is smooth and responsive, and Samsung's design makes me a little jealous as a Linux user because it's honestly just better. I'd even go do far as to call it better than Windows 10's UI in some ways.

If you're ever near a store that had Samsung tablets on display, I recommend you try putting one of the demo units in Dex mode. It's a toggle in the quick toggles and it'll turn the tablet into a full desktop (which is perfectly fine for the massive screens tablets have these days!).

Hell, if Jetbrains keeps developing their remote coding platform, I bet I'd be able to do programming work from a tablet and a sleeve as if I was working on my Linux laptop.

It would a really good test if they could make a predictive model that, based on brain scans, classifies subjects as German or Arabic native speakers.

If that had good classification results, we could be very confident that it's a real difference.

Disclaimer: not a neuroscientist, maybe it's convincing for neuroscientists already as is.
They could just do that anyway, (and I'm pretty sure selling influence is actually one of the things these protesting careerist mods do, just with more steps) the "real reason" is the API is generating less revenue than what it replaces, no big conspiracy
Post something personal, then put in a 1st GDPR request and ask for all the servers (and their jurisdictions), all the backups, all the 3rd parties with access related to the post itself. Then ask for the security certifications and GDPR policies of each entity named. Then ask the company to delete the post for you in a 3rd GDPR request.

CPython developers are still the leaders and those controlling the important Python infrastructure. You have to ask them. It's quite likely RustPython has no influence whatsoever on the question, and also quite likely that CPython is not going to ever throw out its existing work in favour of a different implementation.

FWIW, parallel implementations already exist, and maybe RustPython can join them.
Unfortunately, even with Samsung DeX, the tablet or phone can only do 16x9 resolutions on the external screen, which makes me very sad.
Indeed, management is very much about shielding the team, and getting rid of roadblocks.

I'd have to imagine for any issue, I can nut pick someone (thanks social media for making this ever easier) and portray anyone who agrees with them as lunatics who are unwilling to have a real public conversation, but I wouldn't consider that honest.
Show HN: AI Mock Job Interview by Talkberry.ai
Hello HN! Today, I released a job interview simulator that I've been building for the past month.

It helps you practice job interviews with an AI hiring manager who asks the most common questions and provides extensive feedback at the end of each session.

I believe it's useful for English language learners, as well as students and professionals looking for a partner to practice interview skills.

Please try it out and let me know your thoughts!
The devil hides in the details.
Of course, the predicament is what to do when the end times (at least for our civilisation) is one of the plausible outcomes of our current actions.
> But when the volunteer labor you need in order to function started complaining because this is going to kill the modding tools they need - you should have immediately, like next day, apologized for the oversight and promised free API credits to them until you sort this out.

Nope. The value of being a reddit mod is clout. Clout does not matter to me hence I would not want to skip $$$$ for a clout of one. It matters to them hence they do it for $0.00. As they do not want to do the work, they get no clout. I applaud reddit for nuking them.
> That comes with a panicking branch

Not necessarily? Indexing is overloadable, so nothing stops one to write an implementation that'd use an unsafe block without any checks/panics whatsoever (because there are static guarantees that those would be unnecessary).
Every mass who tried that is a botnet.
Fair enough, I checked it was 60 meters, not 100m [1]

However I do not buy "stable for a very long time wrt human history". There was little ice age in 17th century. 11th century had very warm and fertile weather in Scandinavia, population boom and Vikings... We can go into Egyptian history and droughts that lasted centuries... Entire Sahara was garden in living memory, when pyramids were build...

> take action to mitigate

I guess I should buy Tesla then? Do you own any stock btw? Perhaps slight conflict of interest?

We will have to drastically reduce our life standards. Not to "take action" but to live within our means! For US that means no more 4000 pound cars, but small electric bikes!

It also turns out that most official Church documents are not authored in Latin at all. Often, the "reference language" for Papal documents will be Italian, or another common language. Spanish is quite popular, of course, with the (ethnic Italian) Argentinian Pope Francis. It was, of course, quite fitting that Pope Pius XI should write Mit brennender Sorge entirely in German, considering his audience at the time.

However, there are two very important holdouts in this regard, and those are the sacred liturgy and Canon Law. The only definitive editions of the Roman Missal and the Code of Canon Law are the originals in Latin. Every other edition is translated from these master editions. It's a very important thing to remember for canonists attempting to interpret the law, that they should keep in mind Latin words, phrasing, and the implied meanings, not whatever sloppy English has been applied for a mass-market publication.
Do you even have any GDPR related rights when talking about anonymous comments left on a messageboard?

Oh it's even worse, it mainly talks about advertising in "periodicals", but doesn't say anything about internet advertising (such as social media ads, paid sponsorships with influencers, sponsoring a github repo, etc.)

You can deduct expenses for advertising, including advertising in Canadian newspapers and on Canadian television and radio stations. You can also claim any amount you paid as a finder's fee.

Certain restrictions apply to the amount of the expense you can deduct for advertising in a periodical. You can deduct all the expense if your advertising is directed at a Canadian market and the original editorial content in the issue is 80% or more of the issue's total non-advertising content.

You can deduct 50% of the expense if your advertising in a periodical is directed at a Canadian market and the original editorial content in the issue is less than 80% of the issue's total non-advertising content.

You cannot deduct expenses for advertising directed mainly at a Canadian market when you advertise with a foreign broadcaster.

That section about the periodical having >=80% "editorial content" (whatever that means) is going to age well with LLM material sneaking in.
The people who would troll you like that already know what a shadow ban is and will just create more accounts anyway.

It’s not a difficult situation, you are being willfully ignorant.
It's time to implement pitch-related effects in the JavaScript MOD player I am developing. Let's explore how to implement Vibrato, Portamento, Arpeggio, as well as combinations of these effects that allow simultaneous pitch and volume modifications. Working with these effects gives a deeper understanding of the musical capabilities of MOD files. During the implementation, I also fixed some crucial bugs. Interestingly, one of our target songs now plays correctly!
Which is a bit surprising since nowadays an entire reddit instance could fit on a single server rack.
Does anyone know where I can find more examples of Rash code? Scripts large and small that do something cool... I get more inspired by those than by reading documentation :)
I'm not sure about the specifics of GDPR, but it could be argued that even your style of writing personally identifies you. There are even projects that do just that to find alternate reddit accounts of people [1].

Start by participating, and then identifying and elaborating concrete problems and potential solutions to them.
This is correct. There's lots of people in here complaining with all the authority of experience when in fact, they're complaining that the ruler they're using to measure a mile is too small. Throw rulers in the bin! Down with measuring all together!

Engineering needs risk management, accurate estimation and prediction, cost control and all the other things SWEs tend to thumb their nose at.

If you think something is crap, chances are you're using it wrong or don't understand. Sadly software is filled with "smartest person in the room" types who think if they don't understand something, then it is clearly not them at fault!

Pop your ego aside and ask. People like Sverhagen actually know what the tool should be used for.

Sadly software isn't building a house, assembling a car or any other engineering task with very uniform and predictable discrete components ... so we need measures that deal with the ambiguity, complexity and attempt to measure inaccuracy accurately.

Estimation with something like a fib sequence is designed to abstractly encapsulate the real-world impact of a task in terms of risk, effort, unpredictability, variability and so on.

Odd that software engineers so adept at abstract reasoning can fail to see that this estimation method (like all of them) is a lossy encapsulation of many concerns.

Sadly unsuprising that many offer no alternative, just complaints and bluster.
All of this is happening because Reddit Coins is a meme of a paid tier.

Discord understands its not about comments, its about communities. Give users a way to boost/upgrade the subreddits they love, so users have a better experience on those subreddits.
Would these treatments work for other long-term viral illnesses?

I know Covid is getting the attention, but many have had long-term health effects from mono, influenza, and other viral illnesses. I was extremely sick for over a year and believe I may have had a severe Vitamin D deficiency at the time (it only got better once I finally crawled out of the house).

> The point is coding skills are not required to do the job.

I’m sure this is the case in some places. This can’t be farther from the truth in many others. At every organization I’ve been a part of, the best “DevOps” on the team was usually the person who was the best at coding, or at least understood it the best - and coding is one of those things that you can’t really understand well if you don’t do a lot of it.
> Let's say you get your dream bill passed tomorrow. What will happen when products are a single integrated part? Does right to repair fizzle out, or does it force companies to make antiquated shit?

A single integrated part that literally can't be repaired in any way? I find that unlikely. Like I said at the start of the thread, make the chips, schematics, and required software available. Repair shops will figure it out. MacBooks have been trending towards integrated boards for years but they're still what e.g. Louis Rossmann's company works on. Even if repairing it involves SMD rework, it's still possible! Maybe not by a layman, but people specialize.

I do think products shouldn't be made intentionally difficult to open nondestructively though. Think screws rather than glue wherever possible. (Thankfully several companies do seem to be trending back in this direction nowadays.)
Yes, but that's even crazier when the platform is basically messing with your posts and comments. That's not what a community is. They can generate content that fits their content strategy themselve then, this way they don't need users!
It’s literally one guy running it
Worth noting that HN has become a Reddit-refugee outpost so this will probably continue if not get worse.

See the other Reddit post (one about Reddit punting mods if they act against the interests of Reddit itself, which has always been true it's worth noting) with 100s of comments, folded into pages and pages of continuations.

I mean does anyone honestly seriously believe Reddit purposefully undeleted this guy's comments? Reddit suspends accounts en mass, and when they do they nuke their entire history of comments on the site [I have been corrected, though I've strangely seen accounts get removed and all of their comments disappear too, though maybe they're running a script]. Reddit just really doesn't care about this guy's comments as much as he thinks they do.
I would like to receive one as well if you have, under my username@pm.me
No, you are confusing, say, a post, with its content. The content of a post does (in general) not relate to an identifiable person.
Communicating the impending doom of man-made climate change had been done in all possible shapes and forms since the 1970s. The approach does not matter, because the truth is too uncomfortable no matter how it's worded. If non-alarmist language is used, then nobody cares. If alarmist langauage is used, people like you compare scientists to flat earthers.

Don't criticise the messengers if you don't like the message.
This reminds me of something Matt Levine said recently. It went something like "modern finance will find a way to make a risk-free asset risky". To me it's similar to the idea that reputation has value and hence destroying it to turn a profit can make economic sense. Hence corporate raiders destroying 100 year old brands in a couple years by extracting all good brand value. And then you have Google doing some sort of ranking where being at the top has worth. So then whatever algorithms there are get gamed which eventually leads to a loss in useful signal. Ignoring any critiques of mistakes or shortsightness of Google, it seems to me that this is in some sense inevitable.

I saw a poster (here on Hacker News maybe?) make the point that the fact that anonymous reviews on e.g. Amazon are no longer trustworthy is the historical norm. The fact that we had ~20 years were we could maybe trust people without their reputation was the weird part not the fact that you no longer can trust them. I mean personally I find it all sad, but I think it makes a lot of sense. Our trust in anonymous people has value and hence exploiting it (and hence destroying that trust) makes sense.

I think all of this is some human version of social entropy at work. Maybe it's a historical ebb and flow over time, but it seems like a natural result of our human nature.

I have blacklisted reddit.com on my DNS, but I will keep an eye out if my comments are restored. I deleted thousands of comments, all of them, earlier this month.
For a while it seemed that while this was true, edits were at least destructive: so a lot of mass-deletion tools would edit the comments, then optionally delete them. But I wouldn't be surprised if this is no longer the case (TBH, making the edit history of comments public is a good idea in general).
The samples always show mounting similar to a (network) drive. What about mounting in file explorer like OneDrive?
[0]European Commission defines personal data as:
>Personal data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable living individual. Different pieces of information, which collected together can lead to the identification of a particular person, also constitute personal data.

Thus, anything you wrote on any site, if it is not anonymised and still linked or could be traced to your account is a personal data.

And even when it is anonymised:
>Personal data that has been de-identified, encrypted or pseudonymised but can be used to re-identify a person remains personal data and falls within the scope of the GDPR.

They finally have a CEO who is happy to go in an EV direction instead of trying to do hydrogen. I suspect it will take a while to get things rolling again, but at least they aren't stalling anymore. They were first movers in this space with the Prius and it's been sad watching them squander that lead.
If it was about the ads, then they'd tie the API access to the user account, and require a user to sub to Gold for the ability to use third-party clients, then ads wouldn't be necessary in the third-party clients. This just goes to show that advertising itself is out of control - either they make more money off ads than they do subscription revenue, or it's purely about control. Money and control are two sides of the exact same coin, so either way you look at it, this is pure greed.
Is the SeaMonkey project “active enough” for daily use? Could I go somewhat full circle?

I think Microsoft finally got it right around Windows 10, but the damage had already been done. Windows 8 and Windows Phone 7/8/10 had caused too much damage to the brand.

Now, Samsung Dex is doing what Microsoft wanted to do, but very few people know about it. That probably has to do with how uncommon USB-C docks are, and how many of those docks use DisplayLink instead of a normal standard to do video. It's a real shame, because a modern phone is more than powerful enough for most people's computer work.

Have you tried /e/OS?

I was in the same boat as you were and got started couple years ago with the Pinephone. Tried multiple OS's, loved the experience / freedom but at the end of the day, wasnt satisfied with any of the OS's since there was something usually broken.

Found /e/OS one night and everything that i typically do to harden the phone (degoogle the phone, alternative DNS, alternative app store, etc) is built into the phone. Supports a wide amount of devices with A11 / A12 builds coming out soon. The built-in tracker blocker is awesome to have. Uses MicroG instead of Google Play Services. Most apps works, but some are broken because of this

Yes, saw that flaw, but I think in their model, barriers are always associated with stores (so atomic_thread_fence is not implementable but store_release is), which fixes your first example. I agree that in any case you end up doing more work that in the typical model to make other scenarios work.
> Pointers are nothing more than indexes in the memory array.

Pointers in C point to objects and not memory locations afaik, which has subtle semantic implications. See the whole discussion around pointer provenance.

I love IWMN except for the fact that their 2FA implementation is deprecated and falls back to SMS (which is not a secure enough channel for something as important as domains).

As somebody who does a job like this almost none of it involves writing software. 90% of what you write will be terraform and ansible. The remaining will be 20-50 line bash/python scripts.

Reading code, understanding building and deployment are all useful and required to some extent (especially the latter). But specific programming skills are not required any more than that would be for say a technical writer or network engineer.
