Lol ok. I have a pixel 5a and honestly, I regret getting it over a $200 moto g power. Those phones are fantastic and you can slap a third party rom like lineage on there and use it basically forever.

A bunch of the big One Laptop Per Child people were strong constructivists. It didnt seem super successful, but the OS really did a lot to build a more open sandbox for compute that kids could more directly be involved with, see & manipulate. I wish that effort had gone a bit better, had developed more compelling learning software & been given a shot at a much bigger scale, where more could have been learned/tried.

Those plain SMS threads are green instead of blue. That lets iPhone owners judge Android owners from afar. /s

Only half kidding. The real issue is just SMS vs data. And a little bit of feature parity - it's changed a few times, but until recently, if I "liked" a message in an SMS thread, we'd all see something like "Alistair like 'something said by somebody'" instead of just applying the thumb-up icon. This only gets worse for media sharing, link shares/snapshots, etc.
Disadvantaged in what sense? It’s likely those kids won’t even go for the same grind as „managed“ kids.
I didn't know 9p had promise pipelining!

Or more specifically, it seems to have client-chosen file descriptors, so the client can open a file, then immediately send a read on that file, and if the open fails, the read will also fail (with EBADF). Awesome!

This is great, but "promise pipelining" also needs support in the client.
Are there 9p clients which support promise pipelining? For example, if the user issues several walks, they're all sent before waiting for the reply to the first walk?

Also, it only has promise pipelining for file descriptors. That gives you a lot, definitely, but if for example you wanted to read every file in a directory, you'd want to be able to issue a read and then walk to the result of that read. Which 9p doesn't seem to support. (I actually support this in my own remote syscall protocol library thing, rsyscall :) )
That's usually on my mind, especially since my parents did a lot of "you're on X all the time" where X was at least a dozen different things throughout my teenage years.

The way I'm approaching it is simply: all things in moderation. Did you go outside today? Do a bit of tidying? Spend some time at the craft table? Go nuts with Super Mario after dinner. Did you wake up and play Mario for a few hours and get cranky when your brother asked you to play outside? Might be time to press the parental finger on the scale.
W10 Pro for Workstations, kept up to date.

Never had any issue like this until I had to replace a monitor, and the newer one doesn’t keep HDMI/DP signals alive at all when the display sleeps, causing Windows to think it disconnects.

It’s such a stupid and common thing that the “PersistentWindows” tool exists to put the windows back in position after W10 fucks up everything from the monitor disconnect. So it’s not a stretch to think dwm.exe has issues with it as well.

Last year Mastodon went through a hype cycle. Everyone was declaring Twitter over. You had people stating they were leaving for good, dual-posting, etc. Funnily enough many of those same people are back on Twitter today with little mention of Mastodon.

It peaked in November and then went into decline. As people leave, the value of the network goes down so even more people leave.

> Chersakov is in a Brazilian jail. His extradition request by Russia was also denied

No, it was approved before the US request, and that's the basis of denying the US request.

OTOH, the approved extradition to Russia is on hold pending resolution of charges in Brazil.
It's a topic that was done to death even before Musk Mania went interstellar. There's little chance of an interesting, curious conversation around any of it right now. Since repetition and flamewar are the two things we're most eager to avoid, mods have been downweighting these.

This is standard HN practice when it comes to follow-up (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...) and/or flamewar submissions. We override that when there's significant new information (SNI - see https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...). For a topic like this, it would have to be big SNI - but it's possible we've missed something. If so, I'm open to hearing about it - I'd just need links.

Also, please send questions/info to hn@ycombinator.com, as the site guidelines ask (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). I only saw this thread randomly.
I had a slow day at work in the beginning of my career (I was a help desk monkey then) and I wanted to learn more about how Active Directory actually worked. One of the things that I found out and became more curious about was why DNS was so critical for Active Directory, upon where I discovered the magic of SRV records. After that I decided I wanted to learn DNS in detail, so I read the RFCs, poked around with nslookup and dig, and then set up a local copy of BIND on a Linux VM to experiment with. In the numerous intervening years I've picked up more over time and been involved in numerous situations where I had to assist someone by doing DNS spelunking, often learning something in the process. I jumped from being a help desk monkey to being an L2 sysadmin in my very next job largely on the basis of my DNS and Active Directory knowledge, all of which was learned by reading documentation and poking at things, nothing particularly difficult about either.

What always causes challenges is weird edge cases, but if you understand how things are supposed to work at a protocol level you have the basis of knowledge to troubleshoot the edge cases, which is how you learn about the more esoteric or implementation specific behaviors of things. I wouldn't expect anyone to particularly have deep knowledge of AD or DNS edge cases, but the basics of how they work aren't particularly hard knowledge to acquire and it's a constant surprise to me how few tech people understand DNS in particular, since it's a critical system for nearly every aspect of modern computing.

As far as resources, when learning these things way back when I only used the official Microsoft documentation, the RFCs, man pages, and sites like nixCraft to learn about it. These same resources still exist (although Google sucks now and makes anything decent hard to find), and these protocols have changed very little in the intervening nearly 20 years, so I don't think it's any harder for folks to learn today than it was for me back then. This stuff is very literally not rocket science, DNS is an extremely basic protocol. In fact, nearly all its weird edge cases is because it's such a basic protocol that some behavior isn't clearly defined, however /most/ behavior is. It's very nearly all text on the wire, and all of the zone records, queries, and responses are human readable. As someone else mentioned, you can just use Wireshark and learn about DNS. It's inspectable on the wire, not just through tooling.

FWIW, Active Directory is far more difficult to learn in detail than DNS, largely because Kerberos is deeply complex, and Active Directory has many unique complexities (like how FSMO roles work). DNS in comparison to most other things you are expected to know as even a semi-competent systems administrators / SRE is mindbogglingly simple.
No profile picture, working in some big company that is entirely unrelated to me, lots of common connections but no posts, no engagement or anything. For example I have had five that works as "engagement manager at walmart" add me in the last few weeks, and also people common to me, I can see the number of common contacts go up by just updating the page because a lot of people will just accept any connection request.

Much like the other commenter, I learned to never ever do any of this stuff (ordinary travel or renewals) via land crossings. You can have a major trajectory change to your life on the whims of a border guard who is just having a bad day even if all of your ducks are lined up and perfectly documented by a large multinational. Bend over backwards to avoid land crossings until you can secure yourself a greencard.

Does intel still have the really toxic contractor culture with a TON of h1b's? I don't see them rebounding until they get quality employees and not pay severely under market through contractors.
Old guy perspective: When I was a kid(tm), I played with a neighbor almost every weekend be it skateboarding, building a fort, playing Nintendo, or riding bikes around the neighbor. That was back when toy guns didn't have orange tips and parks didn't have ultra-safe, ultra-boring equipment.

Perhaps the real losses of community and public commons (other countries call it "commonwealth") create a desert of human interaction. Maybe this is partly why the US has an absurd number of depressed and maladjusted young people.

I was in an intersection one morning after walking the kids to school, and almost hit by a man running the all way stop. It wasn't even the standard for the neighbourhood rolling stop, but full on blowing through it.

It's not about your kid going to a Spanish class once a week, and the objection isn't that doing that isn't enriching for your kid.

The problem is over the holidays when all your kid's friends have been sent to camps and summer schools (mostly as a form of holiday childcare for working parents presumably) or taken away on holiday, leaving your kid with nobody to play with. It presumably varies a lot but it's a real thing in our and our childrens' lives. The summer holidays should be filled with friends and play, not spent at home with your parents because nobody's available.
I'll give you some concrete examples:

- During the Trump administration, the number of RFEs (request for evidence, often step 1 of denying a petition) for H-1B petitions increased significantly. I'm reading that 40% of H1Bs were RFEd in fiscal year 2019 under Trump, versus 16% under Biden in 2021 [1]. I was personally affected by this: both of my H-1B petitions were RFE'd under Trump (I have a math PhD from a top 20 American university and am working in software). These RFEs are incredibly stressful, time consuming and costly for companies.

- During the Trump administration, USCIS started requiring almost all employment-based green card applicants to attend an interview. This significantly slows down the green card application process because USCIS is bottlenecked on officers to perform interviews. Biden reverted this change.

- During FY2022, due to the dynamics of US immigration law, nearly double the number of employment-based green cards were available than usual (265k versus 140k normally). Under Biden USCIS basically had a task force actively dedicated to ensuring all of these green cards were used [2]. I think we can pretty sure that under Trump, USCIS would have had a business-as-usual attitude, not deployed any special measures, and would only have issued around the regular quota of visas.

This is the flaw with the Apple back gesture, sadly, as although it's generally really easy to support this in native app — essentially it comes for free and you just don't break it — plenty of developers just don't care about invisible quality of life things.

> You seem to be taking things that are factual, normal, everyday, aspects of the WHATWG working process and trying to imply that chrome is doing something unusual, or untoward with its process here, but it isn't. It's doing what is necessary to make a proposal with WHATWG: have a trial.

And yet, we've seen many such proposals go through this process because Chrome is paying lip service to it. Whatever Google wants it ships. And Google wants this.

As an adjacent (ads- and tracking-related) example: Google's FLoC flopped, hard. So they immediatey shipped the replacement Topics API [1] despite there being no consensus. E.g. Firefox is against [2] (but Chrome presents Firefox's position as "No signal" in the feature status). And despite the fact that its status is literally "individual proposal, not accepted" [3]

Do not assume any good intent on Google's part when it comes to Google's business interests. Their intent is always malicious until proven otherwise. And there have been fewer and fewer cases when they have been proven otherwise.

In the end it comes down to the actual implementation. The article states that the data stored is just a hash of the iris scan. From that hash accounts can be created that can be used to verify against that hash to make sure your are an actual person. According to the twitter post multiple accounts can be created and and used for verification independently, so indeed providing some privacy. So the question that remains is can the world id be used to discover these accounts, which would be bad. That question remains unanswered.
There is of course the point that you have to trust Sam Altman that the system works the way it is claimed and no actual biometric data is stored.
