You find a list of patterns in a string, except none of those patterns are actually in the string, interesting?

Or you find "LLM can't handle characters" interesting?

Those both seem extremely boring (and off topic) to me.
> Google cannot be bothered to maintain anything that does not make as much revenue as search and ads

I think Google would be happy to maintain such a product. Their problem is that they have no idea how to build it. They haven't created a single highly-profitable product since the launch of AdWords more than 20 years ago.

They've spent hundreds of billions on thousands of products, and they couldn't build a single one that actually took off. Think about that. It's truly incredible how incompetent they are as a company.

(Obviously YouTube and some other products are successful, but YouTube was an acquisition and nothing is wildly profitable like ads are.)
I don't think it works. How would you get the last 5 articles on ai?
Appreciate the deep dive x1sec.

The worst issue here is that Google and Apple do not seem to care that apps can claim "no data collected".

Should Google and Apple take some sort of care to make sure the claim have some validity if they require that info to be disclosed? Or it is just marketing to make us feel safe?
> It's hard to make the case the this is different than Stadia even.

Availability in YouTube (an app almost everyone has) is a big differentiator.

It would also be a big deal if you could play games through YouTube Playables that didn't have to be specifically adapted to that platform. Like if they could just stream any Windows game, that would be a big deal.
When you request sources and use it to assist a RHEL rebuild project, that is.
> This is Nature journal, for goddakes, using the term "man" in a completely obvious biological convention to discuss chromsomal effects on cancer prognosis.

Its not an “obvious biological convention”, its a simplification that is seen as useful in the context of the article and it is very good to be clear about it, because in the biomedical world (not even considering gender identity issues) things like “a fertile woman with 46,XY karyotype and female phenotype” are actually observed and documented.
Thanks for this: I've updated the post with a note on 'if your app uses Bluetooth scan results to derive physical location'. I highly doubt this is why they use ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION for this purpose. Rather it's an opportunistic way to get users to accept the permission - they tell users to accept it to get Bluetooth working when the app is first installed.

I wonder how many other apps on the Google Play store do this.

We can't expect the every day user to read and comprehend Google's developer documentation.

I think it is one of those terms that can only be used to refer to yourself.
I stopped reading when the author said the word "joy" can't be used as an adjective. What about "joyful" or "joyous"? And I know it's not exactly the same word but neither is "happy" and "happiness".
There's a few notable differences between android and iOS as far as adblocking is concerned:

1) Android lets you install other browsers and use them as default. Some of these, like Firefox or Brave or Vivaldi, include adblocking software that works everywhere, even YouTube. Whereas on iOS, even if you install chrome, it's just a reskinned safari because Apple refuses third parties proper access to the system. https://www.howtogeek.com/184283/why-third-party-browsers-wi...

2) Android allows you root access without too much trouble, and you can install system wide ad blocking tools that way. Such as AdLock.

3) There are other system wide blocking options, such as anti-ad VPN solutions, that works on system wide data traffic.

where a driver's licence is almost essential in order to go about daily life.

This is true in all highly developed countries if you live outside the largest cities. You need to drive. It is baked in the cost of your life. Renting is much cheaper outside of the city, but somewhat offset by the cost of driving.

With Stadia Google fully refunded both games and hardware so I don't really understand what people give them crap for.

As long as I get my money back I'm good which in the Stadia case left consumers very well off. I got to play like 500 bucks worth of games for free. If they continue with that policy they can ship me as much abandonware as they want. They even unlocked the controller earlier this year.

Is wage setting not an activity taken on by the labor force? I can see how a reasonable person might interpret it that way, but I also see how it’s interpreted as a message to labor.

The first two links describe the same event, if I can tell correctly.

A lot of people fail to realize how crucial financial institutions are for society. Everything we do has national currency as a middleman, and national currency is more under private control than under public.

$125M is a fee for stealing as much as you wish, since you have the power to print money. Need more assets? Just give out credit more loosely for a while. Then "accidentally" delete the records of what money went where, then get bailed out.

Commercial banks get to create and spend currency before its impact hits the wider market through inflation. In addition, the rate of creation has to continuously surpass debt repayment, otherwise there is a liquidity crisis. They have an immense privilege, and as such, should be held to much higher standards.

"Give me control over a nation's currency, and I care not who makes its laws."

If the violation of even the standards we have results in less than a month's worth of PROFIT for several years of wrongdoing, how are these rules or outcomes fair?

Yes, the surface area ratio is only applicable to whole buildings. But, regardless of how the interior is divided, the whole space has to be heated. (Empty apartments notwithstanding, since that would change the shared-internal-walls calculations.) The savings you get from multi-unit buildings ultimately comes from the resource-sharing of the multiple tenants, rather than the shape of the whole building.
Create a fully typed, scalable database-driven web app in Next.js
Hey, fellow developers!

I published a comprehensive article on building highly scalable and fully typed database-driven web applications using Next.js.

In the article, I dive deep into leveraging the power of three excellent tools:

PlanetScale: A robust MySQL-based database solution that ensures scalability and availability for your app's data storage.

Drizzle: A TypeScript ORM explicitly designed for SQL databases, providing maximum type safety and an intuitive CLI tool called Drizzle Kit.

Kysely: A type-safe TypeScript SQL query builder that simplifies constructing SQL queries, making database interactions a breeze.

Combining these tools allows you to easily create fully typed, scalable, and efficient Next.js applications.

I think "content" is the English word the author is looking for - the first definition I see on Google from Oxford is "in a state of peaceful happiness" which seems like the intended long-term meaning - "a state", not a moment, and "peaceful", not surprise-driven.

Beyond that, I'm a bit lost by where this is going - like the segue into confidence and building confidence by e.g. learning about roof building techniques if you were to build a house. What's the connection between that building a house - whether correctly or not - and the long term happiness?

It's suggested that we "emulate past evolutionary strategies" and "we need to win the confidence of the minds of our ancestors" but... what strategies and past-mind approvals, exactly? And how? Is it materialist/economic/Marxian, an alienation of labor thing? Something more cultural? Family?
> which parts of the land are worth more than others though, I think the article does a good job of providing examples too: people living closer to each central city had higher wages, which meant they could pay more for the land pieces... so they did, which meant they had to ask more when selling in order to 'break even' or 'realize on their investment'

I don’t think that’s a very compelling explanation for increased market prices for city centers either. It doesn’t address the rival (and more likely IMO) claim that prices increased for economic reasons (maybe city salaries increased even further or even something as nebulous as “Hollywood portrayed cities as vibrant, desirable places to several generations”).

Interesting how the youtube videos are pulled down in a cloud function and stored on a file host for caching. I know there is a disclaimer about making sure you have the applicable rights, and IANAL, but this is for sure violating some terms and potentially copyright when users are using videos they don't have rights to.
Maybe I've lucked out, but across the domains I own, as well as helping a few small startups clean up their outbound mail reputation, I don't see the hurdle in running your own email platforms. I've got about a dozen domains that send and receive email and have never had issues when they're on infra I'm running in cloud providers.

I guess it's the luck of the draw with the IP you get for hosting but the only real requirement is that the IP you're using is portable within the cloud/compute provider you're using (for long term viability between host upgrades). Beyond that I haven't found it hard to send mail reliably, even when bootstrapping a domain. Especially if you start from a place of decent email hygiene (e.g. DMARC/SPIF/DKIM/DNSSEC). I've even got a few lookalike domains that don't get caught up in filters because they've been maintained properly from the beginning.
> They will kick you out the store if they detect you're lying about the permission

You have to wonder how long this app never got taken down. Permissions declared in the manifest do not always equate to them being used.

Google could cross reference the privacy statement that the developer published against the manifest. That would have got it flagged.

The actual code that calls android.content.Context.checkCallingOrSelfPermission() obfuscates the permission strings in many places - bypassing static code analysis checks.

>3. Gaslighting you into thinking more yoga will improve your working environment further increases the problem, as it recontextualises the problem from one of their making to one of your failing. If you're stressed or burned out, it's obviously your fault.

This one sticks hard for me. Whenever I get hit with burnout, it's brutal, but all the articles make it sound like it's just being a bit bored with work or school. It's easy to end up thinking that there's something wrong with you, and that everybody else can handle unlimited stress just fine by taking a few minutes to relax every day.
But that doesn't want to be near 1, it wants you to use the smallest numbers possible. If you're calculating millimeters, you want to be using .001 and .002, not 1.001 and 1.002.

I'd phrase it more like: "you lose accuracy when you have multiple numbers that share a big offset compared to their relative scale".

Also, to properly consider a trillion in fixed point for a moment: Let's say you have a 44.20 fixed point format, with a range of ±8.8 trillion and a precision of about 1 millionth. Double precision floats will match it in precision around 10 billion. Around the max, floats will have 10 fewer bits of precision. Around 10 million floats will have 10 more bits of precision, around 10 thousand floats will have 20 more bits of precision, etc.
I could go into consulting or start my own business – the highs would be way higher, but the risk of lower lows even worse. On the other end of the spectrum, I could accept a 50%+ wage cut in exchange for an exceptionally stable job & a defined benefit pension.

Even in the private sector my risk can vary: hyper aggressive startup that pays in equity, long-tenured industrial that has an OK salary and 401k.

I'm a shade closer to the startup risk profile, but that's just me. Plenty of employees are entirely willing to stay on the conservative end of the scale & give up chances for big returns - heck, some even give up anything beyond marginal cost of living adjustments! - in exchange for working at a stable company that is slow to hire, slow to fire. But that's an exchange ... if company leadership isn't trusted, good employees won't take that deal because bad leadership = an unstable employer.
This move doesn't fundamentally fix any of those issues.

I'm nearly 40, which is irrelevant except as to say that I fully remember "the time of ads", and I couldn't disagree more.

I don't think adblocking is a petty form of theft, I think it's prudent, as ads are often security risks - not to mention don't include proper privacy settings but still try to track you against your will. Which is illegal in my part (EU) of the world. I'll try to support in other ways if I think your content is worth it and you provide secondary ways to pay.

I don't see the nostalgia aspect either. Shows were only "designed for it" in such a way that they frequently take breaks from the plot to show ads,. I challenge you to point to any single show where frequent ad breaks actually made the show better.

If you feel like Netflix shows "drag out", that sounds like an attention span issue. The same episode is either much shorter without 30-40% more time being spent on ads, or it's the same air time and just has more actual episode.
The shell of a house is not where most of the cost goes. Why would stacking spherical shells like marbles be cheap?
Nix builds things in sandbox (no network access, no file system access etc) this can make creating derivation for application that has build with side effects a frustrating experience, but that brings reproducibility (or at least gets us really close there) so generally this is not a concern.

As for splitting build into steps. I am not entirely sure what are you trying to do, but you should not need to do that. Each package in Nix has a hash, which is generated from things like hash of the source code, of the dependencies, compile flags, system architecture etc. This means that you could have multiple versions of the same package in /nix/store with different compile options or different dependencies. When you need a given dependency you know all the information to generate the hash and can easily know if you need to build it or you can use cached version. This is what makes binary cache a pretty much plug and play and don't need to worry what files to cache or whether you should split build into stages.

> Open source is about community, and RedHat has made it clear that the only community they care about is companies willing to pay for expensive per-server licenses.

This is exactly what they seem to think. In this blog post, they mention that the open source community will simply revert back to being hobbyists and hackers if they don't make this change. This is because Red Hat's management right now thinks the open source community is entirely comprised of Red Hat, Red Hat customers, and random hobbyists and hackers. Other business models, and even SUSE/Ubuntu, are seemingly invisible to them.
"The funny thing is, Android 12—and this easy emergency call feature—came out a year and a half ago. Thanks to the unique (uniquely bad) way that Android is rolled out, the feature is only now hitting enough people to become a national problem. Google's Pixel devices get new Android updates immediately, but everyone else can take months or years to get new versions of Android because it's up to your device manufacturer to make new, bespoke Android builds for every device they have ever released."

This sums up the fraud of Android perfectly.

This reminds me of one of the first freelance jobs I was designing a bid for. It was described as a kind of profit sharing app for sports betting. This was ~2014. After a brief conversation with the possible client to get actual requirements, it turns out they were wanting to group together people to win the perfect NCAA bracket for $1 billion. I had a big laugh and tried to show them the numbers quickly. Who knows, maybe they found another scam to sell to people.

> Migration is not a new phenomenon; citing it as an excuse for the utter failure of modern housing policy is disingenuous.

You say it's a failure but for those who own land or have tenants - including the average homeowner, it's a success. It's also a success for house builders, of course.

From [1]:

> In total 115 MPs across all parties are landlords, accounting for 18 per cent of the House of Commons. This compares to around three per cent of the UK adult population who are landlords.

It's in their interests.

On top of that, the supply is dwarfed by demand even before all that migration, which drives the "success" I outlined above, the high inward migration has kept wages low and reduced the need for the kind of large capital investment that would be needed to replace cheap labour.

Again, the kind of wealthy people who are landowners benefit from this, perhaps in this instance not the average homeowner, though there was that woman on Question Time who wondered where they'd find people to make her Pret coffee[2].

The real failures here are the failure to understand the interests of all the parties involved: those with land (high migration drives demand, increases wealth and suppresses outgoings like wages and R&D), and the interests of those without (stronger negotiating position in labour market, lower demand for housing). The average Joe should oppose large scale unskilled migration with all their might, if they want a home, enough doctors, better working conditions etc.

Strangely enough, the media, largely owned by very rich people or run by government aligned interests, seem to be against that. It's a mystery how so many people are called racists for being against migration levels unparalleled in history with so many deleterious effects. A total mystery.
