Sure you can. You can fire up Xcode right now and build a self signed app to your phone with whatever the heck you want in it. Distributing that on the App Store is another story, but there's nothing stopping you from executing whatever arbitrary code you'd like on your own phone.

I sadly found out about the Gowanus E-waste Warehouse right before it closed. I've wanted to work with a group in NYC restoring older tech hardware for use in schools or by folks who need it.
>A person not trained in virology or microbiology is absolutely unqualified to discern the difference between good information and bad information on the topic of vaccines.

It seems hard to argue with that...but what exactly is the meaning of saying people are "absolutely unqualified" to do something which they in fact do constantly and which there is no obvious alternative in order for society to function?

If we accept that non-experts are not qualified to determine what is good information, then doesn't it entirely undermine democratic control over society?

For that matter, doesn't it entirely undermine the concept of management in industry or government? Individual autonomy and rights too?

Again, I'm not saying you are wrong, or that I have a counterargument, just that the logical implications seem extremely radical, and I don't know of a plan for how society can function on such a basis.
Show HN: Why Google Analytics May Not Be the Best Option for Your Website (2023)
In 2023, website owners, bloggers, and web developers need to re-evaluate their use of Google Analytics. While it has been a go-to tool for tracking website stats, its privacy concerns and limitations are becoming increasingly apparent.

> The sheer breadth of ideas that were being casually discussed in magazines that regular, educated people subscribed to is astonishing.

I am more astonished with the banality and closed-mindedness of the society I live in.

Some teachers are still remote? Which country are you in, because that seems insane.
I immigrated to SE Asia, certainly it was very different.

99% of indoor surfaces (and some outdoor areas too) are tile floors, or polished concrete/granite/terrazio. These are really easy to keep clean by just sweeping for 5 minutes. The few carpets I've seen were always really gross. No way I'm taking off my shoes to walk on that!

We don't wear shoes/sandals or socks indoors overall. It's normal to walk barefoot, even at many workplaces.

Socks are a weird thing that we wear to travel somewhere cold, or if we have to wear shoes for some reason (very formal events or workplaces, or for safety). Some people wear socks to sleep.

Sometimes we have a separate set of sandals to wear in the bathroom. You take those off before entering the rest of the house.

The other use of sandals is a form of low-damage ammunition for parental authorities to launch at you. We have a lot of memes about this.
> people wear outside shoes inside

so do they keep shoes on all day? doesn't it get sweaty, itchy, etc...
Yes, you can. The seams will be on the wrong side though. I do this with right/left handed non-toe socks, which by the way is also very comfortable compared to standard socks.

I'd guess that Amazon would pay not more than $5 if the address is in an urban or suburban area for them to have UPS ship the same package, and definitely less if they self-fulfill. Anecdotally I've heard that Amazon had UPS discounts that employees could use that gave almost half off.
What if the thing I'm avoiding is reading this article about how to do the things I'm avoiding?
Amen, I’m in the same boat. I feel constantly surrounded by people who don’t get it. Don’t follow instructions, don’t communicate, don’t think critically. I know it’s me and my expectations, and I try to cope as much as possible, but it’s always creating more work for me to get to what I’m trying to accomplish. And thus, reliance on substances to get past the mundane is the cure, for now. I try to put down those substances time to time, but it seems they keep coming back.

I someone harms you and won't apologize and correct the mistake, then you must take them to court or they will simply keep doing it. Nobody but a court can help you. Nothing else that you or anyone here can do will get you the results that you want. This has always been true, even before Facebook pointed it out on their website.

Talk to a lawyer about it. A reputable lawyer won't charge you for an initial consultation, and they may know of any shortcuts that exist (such a contacting a regulatory agency, if one exists). Ask if closing your advertising account qualifies as tortuous interference, if that concept exists in your jurisdiction.
> I think, most designers of languages want abstractions, convenience, and clevernes.

You get that in C as well in the form of libraries and frameworks. Today you saw a post in HN on how to do object oriented programming with C. Some time ago people shared C frameworks to enforce memory safety. There are generic data structures libraries for C as well.

I think your jab on how C programmers don't want abstractions, convenience, or cleverness is a weak strawman. It's obviously not it. What I think C programmers value is expressiveness and speed, and avoid bloat and overall inefficiencies, and C detractors don't want to address that because it forces them to face the real world tradeoffs which expose the shortcomings of their personal choices. There's a pervasive fear of missing out on the latest and greatest, and an irrational need to jump onto bandwagons, and C is extreme opposite of it. And yet it still outperforms anything that came after.
If you grow up in a clean country that isn’t very muddy outside, you might not ever notice the need to change shoes in something like a mud room. But spend one winter in Beijing (or Eastern Europe or basically anywhere in the non-fully developed world), and it became really obvious to me why you need indoor and outdoor shoes, and why you have to thoroughly wash your face a few times a day.

That being said, conditions that you are used to will influence whether or not you believe shoes have to be changed between outside and inside.
You can use `bw` or `be` to do that

I think that's most cities. Toronto's rents have gone up about the same since two years ago, but many cities in Ontario and British Columbia have had rents go up quite a lot as well. I think Nova Scotia also saw pretty significant rent increases as well but I could be mixing it up with Prince Edward Island.

Holding grudges is what Apple does.

I remember Jerry Pournelle on Twit.TV saying he reviewed the original Mac and said it was a bold vision but ultimately a toy. A great idea but with not enough RAM to make it really useful. Steve jobs saw the review and took action. Jerry said the 512KB Mac was excellent but that point it was too late.

He was black listed for life from having any early access to hardware for review and was never allowed to an Apple conference ever again. This was in place until Jerry's death 33 years later.

Most amusing is that in 2019 the teachers union was fighting the government over a proposed change which would see students take two mandatory online classes as part of their completion requirements. The teachers claimed it would be devastating to the kids if just two classes were online. The government finally relented and agreed to not force that upon the students, but then what seemed like only days later all classes were taken online with no pushback from the union to be seen.
That was a general remark on western influence, i.e. western NGOs. On HK specifically, see the amount of prominent HK activists who shook hands with US politicians including pompeo, asked US to sanction HK politicians hoping US can exert pressure on domestic PRC affairs. HK also spy hub or Asian with biggest US embassy in region. That connection is now severed with NSL.
Unfortunately, this is presently impossible due to the weight and bulk of hydrogen tanks. Their MLI cryogenic storage proposal is vaporware (no pun intended) and decades from anything remotely resembling production. "Flight testing" in 2025 is an aspirational fantasy.

Schools should have stayed open and compensation should have been let to adjust for those who were willing to take on the additional risk of in class work.
Just came back from Rishikesh this week. That city is overloaded with meditation, drugs, mysticism and gives me fair perspective of whats happening with these phenomenons.

As these concepts became popular in the west past few years, they became very commercialized. For eg. Yoga was always about mindfulness, it became more about stretching and poses. All of these concepts metamorphised into something else. As the transition happened, the value got diluted. As it because diluted, it became taboo and sometime butt of jokes (for eg. Crazy yoga lady was thrown around quite often).

Then why is there no serious discussion about it to be found anywhere? All I see is bland self-help books and an occasional vague article in a psych journal.

Where are the meditation groups that aren't beholden to some religion or cult? Where are the online forums where people discuss their experiences that aren't overrun with New Age cranks? Where are the meditation instructions that don't reference "Buddha nature", "divine light", or similar supernatural ballast?

I'd say the absence of those indicates that there is in fact an implicit taboo attached to practicing meditation for the sake of meditation itself.
Yeah this is clearly the right take. One proven strategy for creating a new category is to start with the price-insensitive high end consumers with a luxury product, and lower the price as you gain economy of scale.

If you stopped at that sentence, then the rest of my comment might clarify.

It's hard for me to elaborate further without any idea of your background. How long have you been programming in C? Have you encountered TAOCP and MIX/MMIX? Do you write strictly standards compliant C? Did you use to read or post on comp.lang.c?

For reference, here is a list of things that are/were off topic:

https://benpfaff.org/writings/clc/off-topic.html

Dennis Ritchie posted on clc in 1999 and was told he was off topic. It has passed into history as a "joke".

is the subject of this newsgroup (comp.lang.c). Try a DEC-related
newsgroup.

What was your C question?"

Face saving aside, that was normal treatment for newbies other than Dennis Ritchie, so if it was a joke, who/what exactly was being made fun of?
I would suggest Kellner or Valloti if you tend to play romantic period music, although those are a hair harder to tune than the easy ones like Werckmeister. Pianos can definitely take temperaments as long as you keep the A at 440 (to equalize tension on the harp).

Personally, I think Beethoven and Chopin sound great in Kellner, and I had my piano in Kellner for a very long time.

Definitely do it at least once.

The point of an editor having tons of plugins is captured in one phrase: the long tail [1]. A mature tool with a healthy ecosystem of plugins will have every user installing a unique (or nearly unique) suite of plugins. Attempting to have the base tool itself support all those millions of different use cases and configurations is a lost cause.

They probably also shouldn't know about one other unless it's a poly situation. And then you need a career like a geologist on an oilrig or a submarine naval officer to explain those long absences.

The ability to reason about code as you are reading it is not only important to "lowest performers".
I didn’t mean to suggest that there are not regulations they could have used, I’m more interested in how the other commenter thinks ‘expertise’ should be judged, especially from the point of view of the passengers.

As someone who has dealt with certification bodies for designs critical to their operators lives I am well aware of the processes involved. In my experience regulators are often the least qualified to determine risks, since the most qualified people make more money on the other side of the fence. So regulators depend on following a rulebook rather than expert judgement. There are definitely rulebooks for submarines, but they are generally for naval applications with billions of resources, not to minisub expeditions.

The company was open that their design was cheap and cheerful and followed no certification or standard. The riders knew this and could have chosen more expensive, safer alternatives. But did they truly ‘know’ how much extra risk they were taking? I don’t think there’s any good way to judge that.
You must live in quite a conservative society if you’ve seen those things made taboo. In my country they are absolutely part of the public discourse
I don't think that's a compelling reason. I would be infuriated as a full-time resident to see a legion of absentee landlords and fair-weather vacationers suppress representation of my arguably significantly more legitimate interests. Those people would have literally purchased, with cash, a right to vote in democratic elections in my locality, free of any obligation to maintain a presence there. Something I as a renter do not have.
Misleading title. Lazy reporting by Reuters.

The H1B visa process through USCIS isn't changing. Currently you have to visit a US embassy and get your H1B "stamped" on your passport to re-enter the US. Otherwise you can't enter even if you were issued a valid H1B visa by USCIS. Why they've separated out visa issuance and the stamping on the passport is anybody's guess.

They are just starting a limited pilot to let you get the "stamping" by mailing your passport to the state department.

This is still very much welcome as the majority of indians have to be on H1B for decades and the visa appointment system in US embassies is really messed up.

If there is an emergency situation at home in India, you're forced to choose between your parents and your livelihood since you can't re-enter without a stamped visa.

It really shouldn't be this hard to follow the law.

> The State Department could announce as soon as Thursday that a small number of Indians and other foreign workers on H-1B visas will be able to renew those visas in the U.S., without having to travel abroad, one of the sources said, part of a pilot program that could be expanded in coming years.

They didn't say all engineers, and I certainly wouldn't assert that. But I've definitely seen it personally at 2 early stage startups, a moderate-ish size business, and a Fortune 100. Just a handful of people, but they were very open about it. Those around them simply participated in the conversation and didn't judge.

It was never framed as "abuse." It was talked about very casually as a tool to get more work done, and they deliberately sought out an ADHD diagnosis for access.

I'm in no way judging. They DID get a diagnosis and are using it as treatment. The reason it's relevant is because _they_ talked about it as a tool to get more work done, or a way to be "on" after a late night. Not as part of treatment. But there are tons of reasons why that could be, none of which can be assumed.
Microsoft trapped us by offering better services, prices, support, and integration.
If we think that everyone else is the problem, it usually means that we are the real problem.

Why is it a taboo unless you totally secularise it? I’m not following. Meditation comes from a religious context, and I don’t see why it’s a taboo just because that context remains

Further, the secular mindfulness and meditation movements are huge, and there are many serious secular oriented meditation books (TMI, MCTB, etc. tho I’m not personally a fan of them)
I disagree. There is no way to do rate limiting and generative AI is slow. This means the API is trivially denial of service attacked.
I don't think there's any taboo on meditation, and it's not associated with any religion or cult. Your doctor most likely would tell you to go ahead, it can't hurt, it has research behind it, and lots of his/her patients do it.

So far Meta has published a whole bunch of spatial APIs including scene detection, spatial anchors, plane detection etc. [0] They are far ahead of Apple in many of these respects, but what they haven't had is a device that made this attractive to actually develop for in any meaningful way. Quest Pro lacks a depth sensor and has too small a market presence to attract a lot of developers, while Quest 2 has ugly, black and white low resolution pass through.

So Quest 3 will be the first spatial computing device the world has ever had access to that is available at mass market price (<$500) with depth sensor and high quality pass through. It will finally be worthwhile for developers to build mixed reality apps targeted to regular consumers.
