Slightly unrelated but we really need an equivalent to userscripts on mobile so that users can inject modifications to their apps for adding changes they need.

I really liked the xprivacy concept and it should be extended to full scripts.
Ask HN: If LK-99 works, will existing crypto security be at risk?
Assuming we manage to use the superconductor to create computers 1000x more efficient, or even quantum computers. Will this "break" existing crypto, for example, due to the suddenly insanely high hash rates? Or even by "encryption-breaking" mechanisms?
App groups already have to be declared in the app's entitlements, so this would be redundant.
I have this old language aware diff tool I wrote that already supports CSV format, so what I would do is:

1) Check the record length of the two tables given your RDBMS API.

2) Check the column headers and data types of the tables are the same given your RDBMS API.

3) Only then would I export all triggers associated with the given tables using the RDBMS API and then compare that code using an external SQL language aware diff tool that excludes from comparison white space, comments, and other artifacts of your choosing.

4) Then finally if all else is the same I would export each table as CSV format and then compare that output in a CSV language aware diff tool.

This can all be done with shell scripts.
I have genuinely never heard this perspective, that sounds like a fantastic idea and a great way to breathe some life into the government!
Checking the first 30 or so results from a google search for "Turing mechanism" every single one is about Turing patterns and the mechanisms that produce them, and not one refers to Turing machines or any other aspect of Turing's computer science work.

Many people don't know Turing did other things. Doesn't make it clickbait.
On the more practical side, SQLite has the "sqldiff" utility:

https://www.sqlite.org/sqldiff.html

By default it compares whole databases, but it can be told to only compare a specific table in each:

sqldiff -t mytable database1.sqlite database2.sqlite
Can concur, the bar for senior at tech companies is usually that you are involving in scoping requirements and work, or even possibly owning the whole project.
UBI. After PPP came out I realized the government has truly become a cash piñata. There is very little concern for people and way too much liberty for corporate powers. The economy is not a balancing act, it's a deck stacking game.
The job board was also a finished product. They could have automated just about anything manual, and kept it going with a small team. For the brand promotion alone it was worth it to keep it going.

That's effectively what Xposed, the framework used by Xprivacy was. Of course the security implications of malicious code running inside Xposed would be nightmarish.
This is false to very large degree, you have simulations for robotics, and you can buy/build your self cheaper versions.
>And if a candidate obviously has put a lot of effort in preparing for the interview, then this indicates that he/she is motivated to get the job.

Well, yes, desperate people are going to be "motivated" and work really hard to get the job.

But remember this cuts both ways: people who aren't desperate with have no problem leaving you you for the next big thing. Being an employer doesn't put you in some default superior position. You need workers and workers need work.
What do you mean by hiding space?
There are all kinds of scenarios (e.g. fraud) where a CC refund is warranted even if you shipped the product, so without further details it's quite plausible that Stripe should have forcefully refunded the payment even taking your proof of shipment into account. Credit cards ensure that customers get all kinds of protections and in many (hopefully rare, but it depends on the industry) cases the risk falls on the merchant, that you might not eventually receive the money.
Applebee’s has long been criticized on the Internet for having food that is pre-made offsite and heated on-premise – something this article swears is common among chains but which CCF does not do. Yeah, the CCF dining room decor and packed waiting room convey a quite different status than your more pub-like “neighborhood” Applebee’s and TGIF’s, or your typically humble diner.

"Who cared enough to save [etc]?"

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't O'Connor die of natural causes?
To quote the movie of the same name: „I don't know what's scarier, losing nuclear weapons, or that it happens so often there's actually a term for it.”
The most surprising thing about that was how big an online retailer Apple is. I never quite realized that their standardized phones and computers mean I have never bought one in a store, not in the last 20 years …
Dude just happens to find a fully working and in great condition arcade cabinet deluxe from 1983 in 2023? Jesus! What a find! I’m a huge fan of old arcade games and even built a few mame cabinets myself - this is extraordinary. There aren’t very many of those games left let alone working in great condition. Many have lost their CGA monitors or fried their boards.

News monetization sucks. I pay for a handful of news sources because I believe news is important and should not (always) be ad-sponsored.

But even the sites I pay for, I usually access through some rip-off layer to avoid the hassle of logging in and/or evading the tracking that news sites often seem to insist upon.
> We're the Sicily of Canada I guess.

I'm not from Canada, and I don't really know what province you are talking about (my guess is Newfoundland). But aside from the analogy that it's an island, is there anything deeper in what you are trying to say? Is the organized crime a problem in your province?
I see only a single tweet (or whatever it's called now). Is there more content to this?
This is not right in finance at least. Messages updates are typically incremental just like in TCP. The reliability problem is dealt with with careful network stack tuning, core affinity and out of band recovery.
Similarly, the Chinese (and Chinese-American) Tongs started out as helpful organizations that did things like look after the widows and children of deceased members and protect Chinese immigrants in America from racist gangs, but as they got more powerful they too began to become criminal organizations.
First of all, the Alcubierre drive only works if several things that have never been confirmed to exist do in fact exist. Secondly, even if it turns out that exotic matter and such exist somewhere in the universe, the Alcubierre drive only works in their presence. So, it can't be used to travel FTL to a place where they don't exist, such as the Earth.
> An architect is someone who comes up with a plan to build something without any real care about budget, labor costs, or labor skills - both in software and in buildings.

This is definitely not true. I always have to balance on time/on budget/meets requirements and the skillset of the people who are using my designs.
My friends and I were into computers before this, but four of us got into systems administration and network architecture primarily from dumpster diving around the SF bay area in high school. Sun Microsystems and SGI workstations, Cisco networking equipment, IBM and DEC servers... we got good getting enterprise and/or obscure technology working and talking to each other which gave us a more generalist or fundamental knowledge of systems and troubleshooting.

And it was so much fun...
I do when possible but I don’t always want to eat the leftovers again. But often we’ll be out and it’s just sitting in a container in the car and becoming increasingly unsafe to eat.
No matter how you define it, there's people that start working at a senior level much faster than others.
Probably an awareness thing. If more people knew about that, there might be a similar level of activity to fix it. :)
> I think the market is pretty flooded with good talent from the large tech companies layoffs and the number of people going through bootcamps for junior positions too.

I believe this is the key part. I see many people coming from coding bootcamps with a lot of experience with frontend dev in React, since that is (was?) probably one of the few fastest things you can learn to go to the market get a job fast.

Now the market is flooded with people in this situation, since their qualifications are so generic that they become more easily replaceable.

> To date, this public good has broadly been provided for free

Only if you ignore the whole picture and focus strictly on the workflow "find bug, get fix, patch old kernel, release".

Google gives Android, Chrome and other stuff "for free" because they are getting something else in another part of the chain.

This ties in very well with a discussion that happened a couple days ago about whether the concept of "finished software" even exists:

Sinead O'Connor was a very successful singer who, arguably at the apex of her artistic success, engineered an anti-Catholic stunt on US television that effectively killed her career (even though it turned out, less than a decade later, that she was actually right).

She then struggled with personal problems of various nature, always remaining fiercely outspoken on pretty much any political subject you can imagine, and a bit of a contrarian (she recently converted to Islam). She was largely ostracised by the entertainment industry until the very end.

Morrissey is the former singer for The Smiths. He has exposed fairly controversial views, who many would call deeply racist, and was hence similarly "firewalled" by the mainstream industry - although arguably not to the level of O'Connor (probably because his fanbase has always been bigger, or because he's an English man living in LA rather than an Irish woman living in Ireland). He has always had a penchant for being a contrarian and attacking what he sees as hypocrisy in the mainstream. The death of O'Connor gave him a chance so big he couldn't pass it on.
A Quick Peek at MySQL 8.0.34 and MySQL 8.1.0
Having worked at smaller companies (~ 500 people) in different stages (series-A, unicorn and post IPO) I very much like the idea of a lean platform team that defines the interfaces that are used to control interaction between different modules, and with external services.

Yes it creates friction and reduces velocity at ticket level but it prevents misalignment errors in UAT and production. This can be solved somewhat by having dedicated product owners in each module but it's often not feasible for smaller companies and brings in too much non-technical chatter.

For example, if your product acts as a metadata repository as well as a task execution engine it is important that the execution engine modules access the metadata only using streamlined (and maintained) internal APIs and not hit the database or maintain duplicate metadata for different engines. This way you actually improve velocity at milestone/release level because you're free to make changes to the metadata codebase without breaking features in various downstream execution engines.

In my experience, with a well-scoped platform team, the integration phase of a release gets significantly smoother with fewer defects. YMMV based on product type and company size.
Reminds me of the automated phone systems that play random keystrokes while telling you they’re looking up your info - people don’t trust it if they come back instantly, I guess.
There used to be awesome retro tech to be had at thrift shops, before they figured out there was a collector's market for it.

The great finds are far more rare now.
I like the idea of VyOS. Networking software tends to have so much hidden, hard to control state for reasons I don't understand. As a programmer this melts my brain.

VyOS finally lets you have all your configuration in one, easily controlled place. Nice!

For some reason I ended not actually trying it out too actively. I think I was weirded out by the distribution model and concerned by the small community.
> Also why is McDonalds an example of an exploitative company?

Because we (in UK) are paying in-work benefits to help people who work there survive. So the taxpayer is subsidising the labour costs of this business. If we didn't, there wouldn't be enough people willing to work at McDonalds.

We should only pay benefits to people who are unemployed, a job has to cover costs of sustaining employees. The same pronpem is faced by british farmers - they can't exploit romanian students with schemes where they pay them below minimum wage by charging £50/day for libing on the farm in a tent. And there arent enough british folks who want to break their back for minimum wage.
If it was absolutely completely convertible to different syntaxes, then yes, choice of syntax would be awesome. But everything has to be accurately representable in every supported syntax, which is a high bar.

I was going to protest about maintainability - if nobody can read your syntax, they can't maintain your code. But if they can just convert it to their syntax, then they can maintain it.

Even better, certain things may be easier to represent in one syntax than in another. You could write each part in the syntax that works best for it, if that simplifies things, and then convert them into any of the other syntaxes.

One thing that would be essential, though, is that the syntax A -> syntax B -> syntax A round trip gives you back the original code in syntax A (or better - but it can't be worse). If you get back, say, twice as much code when you do the round trip, then you can't convert back and forth for different people and still maintain a workable code base.
The Guardian is a channel for eco-lobbyists so that kind of makes things even. Read what is written by both and draw your own conclusions. For me the conclusion is that air-tp-air heat pumps can work when power is cheap and plentiful but they fail when they are most needed here in the Swedish winter. Mind you, they still price best but the COP (conversion factor) end up around or below 1. Water-to-air and water-to-water heat pumps fare better and have higher COPs but they are a lot more expensive to install due to the higher equipment costs and the costs of drilling a well or digging in a heat exchanger. The combination of a heat pump with an extra heat source, preferably a wood-burning stove or boiler makes for warm winters independent of electricity prices.

We're heating our farm using only wood since we have plenty of it but have an air-to-air heat pump in a new office in the new barn as an experiment.
So we gonna have Robot like in girl front line in near future ?
I would argue that apps should almost never need access to some of those, like boot time (why?), free space (not meaningful in the era of dynamic offloading to iCloud), and active keyboard (just accept whatever input you’re given). With the benefit of hindsight, User Defaults seems like a bit of a poorly designed API.
I'm going to have a look then, I heard the name but I did not know it was I think.

Sure there's security issues with this concept but it's so powerful that it's worth it.
TLDR: If you fork the process after starting threads you're gonna have a bad time, so use spawn instead of fork, like this:

Once you get into the habit of ordering every meal at major restaurant chains as if you're ordering two meals (one now, one later), it seems much more sensible economically and calorically. I don't approach any dish with a need to clear the plate. I can't say I've eaten myself to discomfort in many years now.

Alternatively, if I'm wish my wife, we tend to just order an appetizer/salad and one entree. The portion size tends to be about right in that case in many instances (it's still dish-dependent).
Interesting. I would have assumed CCF prepped food similarly to the other “cheap” chains.

But, I’m not the target audience. I’ll pick a local ethnic place over a chain almost every time. And only use chains when forced by co-workers who won’t deviate from a generic “American” menu.
> But op was suggesting to cold reach sales people, vendors and anything you had contact with

No, it's not "cold", the point is that you had contact with them, they know you. It is totally normal to say, "hey not sure you remember me but we worked together on XYZ project in 2017, and I noticed you're at a company now that is interesting to me, can we grab a coffee to catch up?"

> plus basically creating a list of 'humans you might have use for in future' and their birthdays for your personal benefit.

No, keeping track of people you enjoyed working with and reaching out to them periodically is not "keeping a list of humans you might have use for in the future", it is having a network of professional connections that you haven't lost touch with.

I think something you might be missing here is that this is not a unidirectional selfish benefit. You know what I love? When people I enjoyed working with reach out to me. I'm glad they kept track of me and I'm glad they thought to reach out, and I'm glad to both catch up personally and see if I can be helpful to them professionally.

This is what makes the world go 'round, and it's not weird distasteful or nefarious, it's a very good system.
The death has not been "treated as suspicious" by the police, but the fact that the family did not release the actual cause, strongly indicates she took her own life - as she had tried to do last year. Obvious suicides are not investigated as suspicious anymore.
That doesn’t sound that far off from what unifi does, it uses a daemon to do those things. (Receive configuration and then do a local apply)
you couldn’t attribute individual events to climate change. Now they constantly do

"constantly"? It's ironic that you put these two statements together like they somehow prove your point, while you're actually undermining your own position. Here's what the climate scientists have been saying: "you can't attribute individual weather events directly to climate change. However, climate change will increase the likelihood of extreme weather events occurring".

So, if the media (note, not scientists) is "constantly" talking about extreme weather events, that does seem to prove that extreme weather events are happening more often, right? Which kinda confirms what the scientists were predicting all along? It's not the individual events that prove climate change: it is the pattern of "constant" extreme weather events.
It’s horrible. I had to untrain people from using teams to create meetings because it would default to using a team or channel or something and invite everyone and be incomprehensible in some cases, absolute junk.

Which means the new outlook will become a teams tab by year’s end, I guess.
There are the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama and there is the religion Buddhism created by his followers. He said: This is my truth, see for yourself if it is true for you too. This is the reason i take him seriously, in contrast to the monotheistic myths that all claim to have the only truth.

> Understanding emptiness

The other points are valid to me, this one belongs in the realm of metaphysics for me.

Buddha said a lot of good things IMHO, but very questionable stuff too. "Monasteries are allowed to own slaves, individual monks not." for example. If you mention that, Buddhists get uneasy and/or defensive.

There is a nice App called Buddha Quotes on F-Droid. I recommend to install it via Foxy Droid:

I think regardless of the job market situation, the time-to-hire has become unreasonably long and I'm not optimistic that this will change for the better anytime soon.

The trouble with job-hunting these days via web is that the signal-to-noise ratio has decreased dramatically over the years. Being able to apply to hundreds of jobs is a double-edged sword where hiring managers also have to filter through thousands of profiles so now everyone pretty much have to play resume-seo of some sort.
Just judging by your karma you are not new to software development. So how do you imagine it? Your installation is a point in time, there are sometimes refactorings which need to be done, version of library which fixes the security hole depends on 3 other libraries in newer version than your current one and of it goes. It such a common pattern and it's really hard to avoid because you can't maintain 20 versions of product for people who installed at different points in time.

I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment, but it sounds like a wishful thinking. If you maintain a simple library, do you backport a bugfix to every single previous released version? Because that's what would be required. From every single one of them.
Oh! Do say Hi to Graham for me.

Sometimes the scopes of permissions are surprising. For example. scanning for Bluetooth devices on Android requires the location permission. Why? Bluetooth beacons can be used to precisely locate a device.

Unfortunately, there isn't a way provided to the average user to say that an app can use Bluetooth, but not GPS.
