took a peek at your comment, and i do agree with you. docker can add unnecessary bloat to projects.

docker shouldn't be used for everything. if you provide a docker version of something, it's a smart idea to also publish (for example) an appimage or deb file for people who can't or don't want to use docker.

like for example, at my work we don't want to use docker because we will have to get approval from corporate for every little script we want to run in a container because corporate identifies a container as a separate application so it must go through the approval process (which takes 4-8 weeks).
Specialization run amok! I enjoyed it very much, I like these detailed brief vignettes of future possible life. This is hilarious and creepy all at once, 'tip' and options hidden in nested menus was particularly funny. Over time there is no limit to the bizarre social customs we will practice as long as the change is gradual. Would we recognize subtlety in human interactions from 400 years ago if we witnessed them?

Asimov in The Robots of Dawn tossed in a curious device, a Spicer it was called. In the future all the spices are locked up in a little machine and elaborate gestures and secret controls are necessary to release them onto the food. It probably looked like some Bop-It! ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWIe0pD-AHs ) of the future.

Marshall Brain has written a story that imagines the gradualness of slipping into a dystopian future called Manna. It is a good read also ( https://marshallbrain.com/manna1 ). You should sit yourself down and make an anthology of these stories, all short and wildly different, for a book!

I like dependency-hell too. It would be funny if nuclear war had broken out while he was trying to make some coffee and he was too focused to notice.
Right but it won’t go below the fed’s rate which is already huge for the prices of housing these days anyway.
cannabis shops are illegal everywhere in the united states, though. federal law supersedes state law
My Switch charges just fine with USB-C to USB-C cables. These days all I buy are GaN chargers with 3 USB-C / 1 USB-A and they can charge my MacBook, my Lenovo laptop, my work Dell, my Galaxy phone, basically 9/10 of my electronics at their max charging speed with the same USB-C to USB-C cable. Which makes these cheap devices missing pulldown resistors that cost a penny or something extremely annoying.

I figure someone is going to come along who's excited about adapting the dishwasher for their own use cases, since they also don't want to do dishes. Maybe they'll even have it support their social circle's use cases so they never have to help doing their friends' dishes after being over for dinner again.

It's bound to happen at some point, right? There's a lot of people doing dishes.
No, I think generally most people don’t care about animals or else they wouldn’t act the way they act. I generally do care but I don’t care that much. If somebody said I could save the life of a random person in the world or a random cow in the world, I’d probably pick the person. But I wouldn’t feel bad about picking the cow. Really doesn’t matter either way.

People eating animals in the developed world is almost without fail “wrong” because of the inhumane practices surrounding getting the meat off of the animal and into our mouths. Sure, plenty of people hunt their own venison or catch their own catfish but let’s get real.

But that’s fine. Humans “won” and the world is ours to wreck. I don’t fault anyone for not caring or for living the way they do.
Perhaps this specific proposal is only Google's doing, but the concept in general, absolutely.

For example, these provide essentially the same attestation service for native apps consuming APIs, validating that the phone is not rooted, and the OS and app are unmodified:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicecheck/

Apple and Cloudflare combined to take it to the browser last year and basically no one noticed:

Of course that will be hooked up to Google's new thing as soon as possible!

Microsoft has also been preparing it with the whole TPM integration in Windows 11 and mandatory inclusion of such hardware in all prebuilt PCs since ~2015. That's what the Chromium integration builds on - Google can't actually do the foundation for this themselves on Windows.

You can absolutely bet that all of these companies are on board with whatever Google is doing.
In the end it's the compiler which is being called by the linker to perform LTO, 99% of the time will be spent there
Yup, Deng literally invaded Vietnam and rolled tanks over dissidents. In Lee Kuan Yew's Biography he recounts talking to Deng shortly after Tiananmen, and Deng by LKY's account just said straight to his face "if I had to kill a hundred thousand students to restore order, I would have done it".

I genuinely have to laugh when people tend to say things like "I wish China was as liberal as it was back under Deng", people have concocted some serious alt-history if they think China today isn't more liberal than it was decades ago

i found the repl driven workflow intriguing but i could never get into it. i am not an emacs user and the vim integration wasn't as good as slime promises to be and i couldn't really get comfortable running lisp from within vim. not ssure, i probably didn't try to hard.

smalltalk on the other hand made this a lot easier. not repl driven but having an actual UI to manage code and handling errors it provides the same ability to fix issues at runtime without restarting but with a nicer interface to manage the code.

You're right to be skeptical of his claims. At the very least, you should support Congress investigating this issue. Because either there are some crazy people with access to the most sensitive state secrets we own, or they are telling the truth and there's been a major coverup for the last 90 years hiding non-human intelligence visiting this planet from elsewhere, and there's technology far beyond what we have created.
The better analogy is "do violent video games _displace_ violent behaviors" as what the q is, is whether it can act as a substitute like a nicotine patch.
Proper sleep makes you a better you.

It's unclear if people getting proper sleep, but don't dream, exist.

It's very clear (to me) that people who dream all the time are getting proper sleep.
Thanks for clarifying.

> I don't understand why you'd use TW as a template.

Probably because tiddlywiki is very close to ideal for certain use-cases. One of the main reasons I switched away from tiddly wiki was I needed better mobile support and syncing was always a monumental pain. Not to mention saving the HTML file was fundamentally broken in modern browsers at the time.

I'm actually using obsidian in essentially the same way I used tiddlywiki so this is VERY interesting to me.
"the poor woman's fit of pique" -- are you defending the Catholic church's history of rampant child abuse, or do you think there is perhaps a less dismissive and condescending way to phrase this?
I also work for Infinite Red (leading RN consultancy) for the past year, help maintain Ignite boilerplate and also have used Expo since diving into React Native back in 2018-19. Even during the early days of Expo, it served me well across 3 startups to quickly get our app running on both Android and iOS. Now that it's more mature, the possibilities are endless. There are no snags or scenarios that you can no longer accomplish.

For everyone that tried it in the past and has been reluctant due to the "old Expo" of the ejection days, you definitely need to give it another try. In the industry we're in, we all know technology changes rapidly, so to not adjust your mental model after 5 years have gone by is doing yourself a disservice for sure.

The RN template upgrades are painless. It enables you to develop on any operating system, which is a big forgotten perk. You can build in the cloud if you want, but you can also build locally (via EAS or the RN cli, this is important Expo apps are RN apps and vice-versa).

Need to drop into Native code? You can do that very easily now. It's not a show stopper. Need to whip up a quick demo app for a presentation? It works there too.

Oh yeah, do you find the app store dashboards painful? Send it over with EAS Submit all via CLI. You can even set this up in your CI if you want.

Preview PRs on release channels via EAS Updates, also amazing. Your QA will love testing features in isolation. Your management will love having the product testable on their devices and you won't get bogged down when they want to see the latest and greatest for some demo you don't need to be bothered with.

The team is made up of incredible, hardworking people who want the best for the native application scene. They want the best for your development team. And that's awesome!

> No, obviously vegans think arresting bears is dumb.

So you don't believe that animals are sentient and deserving of the same rights as humans. And yet vegans always push that angle. That's the argument that I was responding to. So you are on my side against the vegan I responded to.

I love that a yourveganfallacyis is full of logical fallacies. I know I'll regret this because educating cultish vegans mired in nutrient deficient brain-fog is a no win situation but here goes...

> Non-human animals do many things we find unethical; they steal, rape, eat their children and engage in other activities...

No. We don't find that unethical at all. Nobody finds an animals stealing, raping, cannibalizing their young, etc unethical because animals are animals. Ethics doesn't apply to animals. Basics of logic, if your premise is flawed then so is your conclusion.

> This means it is illogical to claim that we should eat the same diet certain non-human animals do.

Animals eat plants. So it's illogical to claim we should eat plants. So silly.

> And while we are capable of killing and eating them, it isn't necessary for our survival.

It's necessary for our optimal living. Driving cars isn't necessary for our survival. Millions of sentient animals are killed by cars. Why not ban cars? Planes? Etc.

> We aren't lions, and we know that we cannot justify taking the life of a sentient being for no better reason than our personal dietary preferences.

If their being sentient is important then it is up to us to protect sentient animals from lions. We'd have to arrest all lions and give them meat supplements for the rest of their lives.

So here we are, back to sentience because that's the crux of the matter even though you denied it in the beginning. Without sentience, what argument is there? Without sentience, eating an animal is no different than eating plants. But wait. What if plants have sentience?

Because glyphosate is not that bad compared to other agrichemicals like pesticides, fungicides and weed killers containing Chrlorine (MCPA). When used with a surfactant these chemicals penetrate insects by orders of magnitude.

The paper you linked to is about pesticide is it not?

It's far more likely the bees are getting covered in chemicals when said chemicals are applied to the flowers of the plants which is often the case with fungicides. You're not going to spray glyphosate on your orchard trees because it would kill them. The fungicide powder used to coat seeds are is also a problem as it's dusty and gets airborne easily. Glyphosate might be a bit of a scapegoat when the other chemicals are far worse.
I am really curious about your experience with Smalltalk and Pharo!
As a Clojure dev, break loops and REPL-driven workflows sound wonderful, and something we could definitely benefit from, which would make it more like front-end coding with JS/TypeScript using the browser’s awesome debugging tools. Sadly, the state of tooling and community support for the Clojure ecosystem seems to be pretty lackluster at present.
Blumenthal and Blackburn… imagine my surprise.

The USA does have a uniparty and these two are happy to be there.
Cannabis businesses and banking and payments is a real land mine right now. It is still illegal at the Federal level, and the States all have different laws.

What companies are trying to do is ensure transactions don’t potentially cross into a realm where the Feds or a State where cannabis is still illegal could potentially claim jurisdiction and go after the banks / payment companies.

Some banks and other financial institutions are trying to court these businesses, but they have to do it with carefully vetted business structures and infrastructure to keep them as legally safe as possible.
Inflation means there’s too much money in the system. You can pull it out with high interest rates (every bank loan is more money in circulation), which hurts everyone who doesn’t have money, or you can raise taxes, hopefully mostly on the wealthy. Guess which direction we always go?
Do we know the amount of parameters Dall-e have these days, Firefly or Midjourney, etc?

If we are talking about Stable Diffusion, the reality is that... more parameters mean it will be hard to run locally. And let me tell you something, the community around Stable Diffusion only cares with NSFW... And want local for that...

Stable Diffusion 2 was totally boycotted by the community because they... banned NSFW from there. They had now to allow it again on SDXL.

Also, more parameters mean it will be more expensive to community finetunners to train as well.
That’s not how it works though, a scientist needs supporting evidence for their explanation before the null hypothesis can be ruled out. You seem to have your mind set on an explanation while other people aren’t seeing the evidence you’re seeing to support it.

Cloth bags take up more volume and weight for the same capacity, and also cost a lot more to make. Of course you can reuse them many more times, and you need to do that to break even, but the former point still holds.

And when I get plastic bags at the grocery store, a third of them end up too damaged to put trash into.

That's unfortunate, but a natural consequence of optimising for profit based on a self-fulfilling prophecy: the belief that the bags will only be used once, leads to them being made so that they can barely be used once. The same optimisation for profit is likely happening with cloth bags too, but it's just not as obvious yet.

That said, there are countless other occasions where a thin film of plastic comes in handy.
From 8 to 1000... that's quite the jump.
That old content is not on Netflix, or if it is is quickly disappears for "rights" reasons. Even more so now with every company coming out with its special streaming service.
That’s actually completely not true at all and resource-rich countries actually tend to underperform (by getting trapped in an economy that only does one thing and when that resource disappears it’s gone).

You can even see shades of this now with Russia… what is going to happen when the gas runs out, or if western countries block international trade of their gas (as they attempted to do recently)? Nothing good.

The author seems to assume the USB-IF is a good thing.

Having gone through the despicable $4,000 shakedown that is required to get a vendor id from the USB-IF, and implemented multiple devices against the outrages that are the specs, I dream about the remote possibility of living in a post-USB world someday.

Yes, I was around in the bad old days before USB...
I take this as an argument for staying off the internet as much as possible. Avoid the temptation to continually see what everyone else is doing and give yourself space to think.
Because aliens would not go to the unbelievable effort of traveling between the stars and then carefully hide from detection on a planet brimming with human activity, somehow knowing how to make themselves invisible, and yet still being here for some reason.

The concept of "anonymous" alien visitation is self evidently silly.

But also, the concept of traveling between the stars is also so unlikely as to be effectively impossible. If you don't agree, then you don't really grasp the distance to the stars.
Ask HN: Is YouTube's Search Down?

it still boggles my mind that Apple->Safari, which is in the only choice on iOS - the dominant mobile OS in the US, already implemented and shipped a very similar feature but the reaction to Google's proposal is 10X worse. I have not seen a single #BoycottApple post here in this thread but more importantly, the sky did not fall after apple introduced this.
Lots of jurisdictions already have carve outs where you can’t publish information (such as location data) for high level public officials.
I'd discovered MacColl hearing a song of hers on a college radio station whilst road-tripping, and promptly failed to correctly remember the lyrics for years. Eventually got them right ("England Two, Columbia Nil"), and found the artist ... only to learn she'd died, likely shortly before I'd heard that song.

Then discovered I'd known her all along through the Pogue's "Fairytale of New York", a/k/a The Only Honest Christmas Carol Evar, which I'd first heard well over a decade earlier.

If we expected to see them far away, how would them being here prevent us from doing that (and also from seeing other presumably existing alien species that are not here)?
You think this is more critical to national security than the classified documents he was caught taking home with him?
> As for why change the window dressing, the market for style changes over time.

Software is a tool, a means to an end. It doesn't need to participate in fashion.

> Are you arguing that Windows and MacOS should continue to look like it's 1.0 release?

Yes. It should remain an option at least. Not the literal "1.0", but the version when a decent UX was figured out. For Windows in particular, that's clearly 95. I know people who used the "classic" theme in Windows 7 and earlier, which remained mostly unchanged from Windows 95, and are resentful of its removal in subsequent versions that they have to use in order to have support for modern hardware.
I know about the Safari captcha system (the only one of those that's truly analogous to WEI). Nobody cared about it because Safari's market share is very small. I would care if those companies jumped on the Google proposal because Google has the market share to force this through and make it ubiquitous, which is why I was wondering whether those companies had come out in support of this specific proposal. If they had/will, that would make WEI totally inevitable.
When I want "this will run forever," I write it in Rust.

I disagree. You can buy marijuana openly in a very nice brick and mortar store less than six blocks from the White House, and 8 blocks from United States Capitol. It's openly advertised. This is just a government trying to maintain control.
Well, if you are self-selecting your comparison to wealthy immigrants looking for economic freedom to enjoy their wealth you are obviously going to get a very particular outcome as to the countries they choose. The "cuban ex-pat" scenario, so to speak.

Working class immigration is still immigration in general.
im open to hearing ypour thoughts
If those objects are people at the southern border, then they're the first to throw some bullshit finger-wagging about a requirement to register at some country they passed while fleeing for their lives with some buggy app. Americans are shocked that the tax-dodging neoliberals in power don't differ significantly in policy from the previous administration who rounded up children in cages, separated from their parents, and lost them to abusive, exploitative foster care parents who sometimes made them work in dangerous factories below the legal age of work, e.g., effectively child slave labor.

Or if those objects are also people who have an AGI < $5 megabucks, they're down to audit records with a probe where the sun doesn't shine.

It's also problematic, a distraction, and a waste of resources to address mythological and conspiratorial topics, like having a flat earth research committee.

Each there own, comes down to believing he’s not a lying POS like virtually all other politicians. Listening to him, yeah hard to not hear how driven he is for real change. My 2 cents anyway but I respect your opinion even if I don’t agree with it.
That’s the thing though, what people believe they’re getting and the intent of the purveyor makes all the difference. For example, if you’re an atheist, then all of religion would amount to so much mumbo jumbo to you, but that doesn’t mean all religious organizations are free to commit fraud of any kind without consequence.
