I don't get how much of a big deal this API thing is. I don't get how much effort is put to have yet another client app. I don't get all of this. This is... Reddit!
2003 maybe, but genuine advancements have been made since then that you probably want. Good luck trying to use the 2016 version of Figma/GDocs/[insert SaaS here] or even desktop software like Adobe CC or MS Office!

So much good information is presented now as videos... I'm thinking of automating that. A service, which follows your watched yt videos feed and automatically saving a transcript. Maybe with some LLM summary and few screenshots - as simple html page.

I believe people keep producing videos, since it can be monetised nicely
Right, it certainly wouldn’t work for a big multi-tenant db. But the right data organization can make it work.

In our case, the data is organized such that there’s usually only one client at a time that would need to write to a given db file. Think for example of a folder per user, each containing a db file and various other files for that user. What we’re doing is actually even more granular than that - we have a folder for each object that a user could be working on at a given time.

Does anyone know how Linux system package managers solve this problem, SAT or something more? It's also more difficult problem because of having to maintain ABI compatibility.
Sound of Freedom is being a profitable success (46M gross so far, 15M budget) and a trend to follow for religion-influenced movies bringing large audiences. It's not a one-off, we saw that with Jesus Revolution too (53M gross, 15M budget). When you are smart about the audience and costs, you can make a ton of money in the business still.

I have a theory that the low interest rates in the past several years created massive distortions in the movie business. Firstly, incredibly expensive movies that, while entertaining (like the last Indiana Jones), have very little hopes of turning a profit. Secondly, streaming services having mountains of money and making things that are, well, too good and unprofitable long term. For instance, according to some unofficial numbers, you can make four Sound of Freedoms with the budget of a single Amazon Lord of the Rings episode!

In addition to the sibling post, Bluetooth is another attack vector.

A phone I had to abandon in the past was a Nexus 5X, which I believe has a set of very serious Bluetooth bugs. I don't remember the details, but they were very easily exploitable (as in: either doing nothing, or just keeping the BT menu in the foreground, which is a common operation).
I have a thing about wasted pixels. On my computers I i3 or sway and have minimised the amount of space wasted and maximised the amount of information shown. All GUIs are shrunk to minimum/"compact" settings. Text size is as small as it can be.

On my eReader I have plenty of whitespace, though. That's the difference between work and pleasure.

There are several CVEs that thank their success story to printf's format string.
They're completely within their rights as stated by the GPL to do this.

They're also placing themselves into a niche; not sure if they care. Aside from production RHEL installs using the clones and not making them money, they're also trying to prevent people from running their distro for free to learn it. That will raise the price of RHEL admins, certified or not. And maybe reduce even paid installs.

That's their problem IMO. What I really don't like them for is supporting Poettering. Only yesterday I had to disable parts of systemd because it insisted on using dhcp on a network card I wanted a static IP on.

> CNC milling is incredibly wasteful compared to some more complex (and more manual) processes, but it's also much simpler and faster, and this saves you way more money across the board than you lose over wasted material

Interestingly SpaceX opted for the exact opposite. Instead of having huge CNC milling machines like CNC has. SpaceX just manually welds in stringers into the tank.

And they were able to build the rockets far cheaper and arguably simpler. So it really depends what the manual process is and why you are doing it.

Sure, but of course it will cost more to develop and test.
Sounds nice, but computer based voting systems, no matter how secure, clean or simple, are fundamentally opaque to the average citizen. That alone undermines the very democracy it tries to support. Paper based voting systems may be bloody tedious but they’re simple, and anyone can participate.

As a programmer myself, I have to say no to electronic voting systems. We need to keep it low tech.
For those who are unsure why 'neutrality' is a desirable quality in a typeface, I refer you to the analogy of the crystal goblet by Beatrice Warde:

> Imagine that you have before you a flagon of wine. You may choose your own favourite vintage for this imaginary demonstration, so that it be a deep shimmering crimson in colour. You have two goblets before you. One is of solid gold, wrought in the most exquisite patterns. The other is of crystal-clear glass, thin as a bubble, and as transparent. Pour and drink; and according to your choice of goblet, I shall know whether or not you are a connoisseur of wine. For if you have no feelings about wine one way or the other, you will want the sensation of drinking the stuff out of a vessel that may have cost thousands of pounds; but if you are a member of that vanishing tribe, the amateurs of fine vintages, you will choose the crystal, because everything about it is calculated to reveal rather than to hide the beautiful thing which it was meant to contain.

> Bear with me in this long-winded and fragrant metaphor; for you will find that almost all the virtues of the perfect wine-glass have a parallel in typography. There is the long, thin stem that obviates fingerprints on the bowl. Why? Because no cloud must come between your eyes and the fiery hearth of the liquid. Are not the margins on book pages similarly meant to obviate the necessity of fingering the type-pages? Again: The glass is colourless or at the most only faintly tinged in the bowl, because the connoisseur judges wine partly by its colour and is impatient of anything that alters it. There are a thousand mannerisms in typography that are as impudent and arbitrary as putting port in tumblers of red or green glass! When a goblet has a base that looks too small for security, it does not matter how cleverly it is weighted; you feel nervous lest it should tip over. There are ways of setting lines of type which may work well enough, and yet keep the reader subconsciously worried by the fear of 'doubling' lines, reading three words as one, and so forth.

> Printing demands a humility of mind, for the lack of which many of the fine arts are even now floundering in self-conscious and maudlin experiments. There is nothing simple or dull in achieving the transparent page. Vulgar ostentation is twice as easy as discipline. When you realise that ugly typography never effaces itself, you will be able to capture beauty as the wise men capture happiness by aiming at something else. The 'stunt typographer' learns the fickleness of rich men who hate to read. Not for them are long breaths held over serif and kern, they will not appreciate your splitting of hair-spaces. Nobody (save the other craftsmen) will appreciate half your skill. But you may spend endless years of happy experiment in devising that crystalline goblet which is worthy to hold the vintage of the human mind.
> Maybe it invented Karens.

It didn't, and for some reason this made me think about the biblical Parable of the Unjust Judge / Parable of the Persistent Woman[0]. The lesson usually taken from that story is about the value of persistence against unjust (but mostly indifferent) opposition. However, I can't help but imagine that, for everyone else witnessing the widow's repeated pleas to the judge, this was a Karen experience.

Windows phones are gone. Why would they want to make MS Office touch friendly? I don't understand why they removed the lines between buttons. This is what made the old UI look organized.

Is Sony monopolizing the God of War market because God of War fans understand how those games are differentiated to appeal to their preferences?

The FTC's case that PS and Xbox exist in their own "high-performance console" market is the contrived argument. Honestly, it's dated to even consider consoles their own market. Product planning practice in the games industry these days pretty much looks at 2 markets: the mobile market and the "HD market" (PC + console).

Fair. I'm just saying that its one of many factors so I was confused why you would bring it up specifically.

Could you clarify this, because I can't tell if you're being woke, the questioner is asking because of the significance, torvalds is assumed to know or what.

Ask HN: Is third party Anti-Virus software still worth it?
Yes, that's quite an interesting little quirk of linguistics. It could mean 2 complete opposites: that either Web3 will be successful, or that it will be unsuccessful. Maybe it'll *get off the ground", or maybe not. Maybe it won't "go anywhere," who knows!
You can look into asio or boost::asio (same thing more or less). These libraries add pretty good async behavior. Of course, you need to know a lot of C++ to understand and use them properly, and they're very verbose.

If you need to do things in parallel for performance, you may be better off spinning up a threadpool (like asio's thread_pool) and using a threadsafe queue or similar (i.e. asio's asio::post()) to pass messages and get results.

Since you can do it with JS, you likely don't have massive perf requirements, and you just need to write it in simple, synchronous C++ and you may find it to be well fast enough.

We also have coroutines, they're async/await. Haven't tried them though.
> He remarked that high-density UIs confuse and overwhelm most people, while technical people have developed the skill of sifting through lots of on-screen information and controls.

Meanwhile every day I see people struggle to work with the more minimalist UI designs we see today. A lot of options are obfuscated and hidden away under the guise of keeping it clean, when instead the focus ought to be on laying out tools in a way that makes sense and remains in people's memory.

And of course every bit of software has different ideas about what minimalist and clean is, so you have to remember multiple ways how to do the same tasks.
A distinguishing feature of Vale is: a) natively-compiled safe language b) that still has a sane syntax.

I remember seeing Vale many years ago (~10). Back then, it was something revolving around Gnome project, but now it still has a pre-prelease version 0.2-alpha. This means that the project's progress is relatively slow, but the language is very interesting to me.

Update: I confused Vale with Vala! Vale is the new project, Vala is 10+ years old, but they have an intersection of syntax, goals and ideas. That's why I was misled by seeing a similar name. Val-vale is almost the same!
Oh thanks good to know, I saw that the headless build was gone but didn't try it yet.
This weekend I'll take a closer look to it and see what changed.
It's obvious why they would do this though. They already have your money. You're already locked in. Why would they design the UI for you?

They are looking at people who aren't veteran users of the product because those are the ones who will buy it. If someone new to the product can't understand it quickly, they won't buy.

Does it suck yes but it's very logical.

I gave up on GUIs years ago and just do as much as I can via the terminal. The terminal is the ultimate power user experience.
The architecture is unnecessarily complicated and it turned out to be dead end. Which is why SONY dropped it and now uses x86 like everyone else.
Vale needs more sponsors!

https://github.com/sponsors/ValeLang

Let's use this post's time on the front page to help the project meet its $3,000/month goal.

I'd love to help Evan work on this full time (I'm a sponsor). A fast and safe language that's also fun to prototype with is worth supporting.
"Moving fast" may take on a whole new meaning and I'd put money on the rate of iteration soon being beyond the vast majority's comprehension (myself included).
People are downvoting the parent, but set politics aside and pay attention to what they are saying. Obviously he is a conservative, but conservative themed movies are a trend to watch and invest due to low budgets, strong word of mouth and high attendance. If you don't want to support this type of movie, it's okay, but someone else will make the money.

It's clearly an underserved market, and it also highlights that if you want to add themes currently associated with politics (race, feminism, vaccines, religion), you better know your audience and keep costs proportional to what you're doing.

Disney in particular has had a series of underwhelming to abysmal results when mixing liberal themes into movies that otherwise were meant to have broad appeal. The market is starting to do its job and reallocating resources appropriately to what people want to see. And to be clear, I'm not saying that this is a good thing or a bad thing, simply that it's happening.
You typically won't see rising ad revenues during a recession. When times are hard, or look like they could get hard, advertising is the first thing cut. Its a well established pattern. Eg, from https://www.createwithnova.com/blog/the-history-of-advertisi... :

> After the last recession in 2008, the US ad market declined by 13%. Newspaper ad spend fell 27%, radio spend 22%, magazine spend 18%, outdoor spend 11%, TV spend 5% and digital 2%.

And yes, it happened this time too. From https://simonowens.substack.com/p/the-advertising-recession-... :

> Digiday published a recent overview of media earnings reports, and while earnings overall were a mixed bag, nearly every single company reported a significant dip in advertising revenue:

> Publishers reported declines in digital ad revenue from about 9% to 30% — worse than the 3% to 27% drop in ad revenue year over year reported for the fourth quarter of 2022. Executives continued to cite macroeconomic conditions and a soft ad market as major challenges to their businesses.
If you have ANY customers in the EU, then you are subject to GPDR.

Maybe just comply with GDPR?
The contract doesn't override or contradict the GPL. The GPL doesn't cover rights to future versions of the software, only the versions customers receive. The contract termination is only for future versions of the software, not the versions customers receive. Also, the contract termination only happens when a customer gives someone who is not a customer the benefit of a subscription, it presumably wouldn't happen in other cases of exercising GPL rights.
Yes! This is exactly what my Emacs set up is like. I have a principle which is nothing gets screen space unless I need it right now. So I don't have "tabs" for open files. I don't care how many files are open and I only need to see anything at the time when I'm actively switching file.

Also instead of a toolbar I have a large array of physical buttons on my desk which I use to interact with the computer. Nobody uses an on-screen keyboard instead of a real one. I simply go all the way.
If I remember correctly, 7 introduced stupid "transparent" UI and removed (or attempted to bury) the color-scheme editor. This is a particularly brain-dead move, because from Windows 3.1 until well into the 2000s you could create your own system-wide color scheme that would be honored by all properly-written applications. So I used a charcoal scheme (what today is trumpeted as "dark") for a decade... but then right before the rest of the planet realized that inverse (white background, black text) color schemes are stupid, Microsoft REMOVED the ability to set up a "dark" one.

Then there is the baffling (and still present) fuckery of the user directories in Explorer. There are all kinds of shadow copies of your user directories that are "forbidden." WHY? WTF is all of that shit?

I think they also removed (or, again, buried) the ability to organize your programs into groups in the Start menu. WTF are they thinking? I want to put all of my graphic-editor apps together. I want to put all of my audio apps together. Then I want another group for my office/productivity apps. But NO! MS thinks I want everything in a giant, disorganized pile. Or I want them organized by VENDOR name. What the ever-loving shit would I want that for?

There are little regressions everywhere. Another one is in Explorer. Originally, Explorer would show + signs next to directories that were not empty. I think it was Windows 7 where they stopped showing those... unless you happened to roll the cursor into the left pane of Explorer; then they would suddenly appear. WHY? Are we supposed to sweep the cursor across every pixel on the screen, looking for hidden goodies? Absolutely retarded.

And eventually MS abandoned the universally-understood + sign in favor of a stupid TRIANGLE to disclose additional contents. The + sign is fucking UNIVERSALLY UNDERSTOOD to mean "additional." WTF is a triangle supposed to mean?

I'm so glad the world has largely moved on from Windows, because it is a disgrace. I'm just bummed because I want to use MS Flight Simulator, but it would require me to buy and set up an expensive Windows system. NO WAY. Looks like X-Plane for me.
Its design goal was to repeat the author's experience having to downgrade himself from Simula to BCPL, he wasn't keen in repeating the same experience with C, when he went out to write distributed computing applications at Bell Labs.

I’d wager this is less about HDMI, and more about the fact that people want their old DP-less monitors to work.
> Making things quantum-mechanical makes them harder to simulate, not easier.

The universe apparently doesn’t think so. In fact there’s an argument that, in some sense, what the universe does should be one of the easiest ways to do it, otherwise the existence of the universe would be much more unlikely.
I want to see a good the Flash movie. There are lots of good stories there.

I can't find any references to this actually happening. Is it just a joke?
Physics and gravity are behind any kind of predictable motion. But you don't need to understand those things at all to be a successful surfer. Even though surfing is entirely about physics and calculable predictions, performing the act doesn't require any detailed knowledge of either topic.

It's the same with calculus and almost everything you mentioned. People can create algorithms, make statistics calculations and financial predictions, build robots, etc. All without any knowledge of calculus of any kind.

The skills of all of those things are based on calculus like surfing is based on physics. Related, but not in the sense of practical application. Knowledge of the math that underlies the math that underlies the thing is neither required nor sufficient for actually doing the thing.
It's not just data. Watching ads is paying, because it increases the viewers' cumulative likeliness to spend money with the brands whose ads they see.

The way money leaves your wallet is through probability, spread out in time and with the viral ability to spread to others. Compared to a fixed subscription or one-time payment, this is a lot harder to notice or control, but it's money leaving your wallet nonetheless.
