As far as I'm concerned the answer is yes to all those. Which is why he is such a bad candidate for any role of importance in a honest goverment - the fact that he's been Chancellor and PM says a lot about how much his party cares about corruption.

Expected a huge list and there's only 3 items there, and one of them, JPEG XL, is kinda moot because it didn't seem viable until recently after Safari started supporting it...

Feel that the list could have had much more substance with the addition of webUSB, webSerial and such features which Chrome just strong armed.

In the current form the list and toot don't really drive the point home...

Yes, but you would have had to get it in 1993 and hold it until now.

The problem is that there are more parties than you, your DNS server (the cab driver) and your destination (the website). The cab driver might have to ask a number of other people how to get to the destination.

Your DNS server probably doesn't have the exact record for you at the ready, but it does know another DNS server that gets you closer to an answer. That's how recursive DNS works and it might happen a few times before you actually get to a result. With ECS now every DNS server in this chain knows 12.45.56.x wanted to visit hacker news.
How many times did you try? It did this to me a couple of times but not every time.

Yes, quite frequently. A cheap[1] Casio fx-85GT Plus - one kicking around my desk, the other in my laptop bag. I'm not doing anything mathematically sophisticated, so usually it does everything I need and is so much easier than switching context to use my phone or an online calculator - and I appreciate the small element of physicality. Battery/solar so it lasts for ever, too.

“We produce an extremely expensive hardware and bill millions for consulting and support but don’t want to spend a single dollar to update a firmware, so now, dear OSS developer, it’s your responsibility to keep my solutions functional for the half of your career years”

Did I read this correctly?
Same here, but not with calculus and geometry. My problem was with statistics: I had always been able to solve high-school level problems by intuition alone, and never needed the theory. That is, until 3rd-year university, when the problems became too complex to grasp by intuition alone. I had a really hard time that year, because I basically had to re-learn 4 years of foundational theory.

So I'd say that teaching intuition first is a dangerous path: students may fail to fully understand the theory if they can get by on intuition. And intuition is not a solid foundation to build on.
Beware that some settings won't show up this way, and some settings that you can witness through `defaults read <some plist file>` cannot be safely edited through `defaults write`.

Power management settings, for example, will break some System Settings panes when manually written, in addition to not effectively modifying the relevant setting. Those, you have to modify with the `pmset` command instead.
It may be highly likely that I'm in some kind of out-of-touch techno bubble, but I don't see that much of a point of real physical hand-held calculators anymore. I feel like they got stuck between a rock and a hard place, i.e.:

1. With everything being so mega-project and planned-ahead nowadays, you rarely need that "oh lemme just calculate it for you right now" on-the-stop calculating. If a piece of work needs that, in my eyes somebody has already failed upstream.

2. For simple calculations, a normal computer will work fine (and you're likely using one anyway in jobs that need calculating).

3. For complex calculations, you will likely be writing a script in some programming language in order for the calculation to be easily repeatable, etc.

I can just imagine there are loads of people in jobs that do need real physical hand-held calculators every day, and are shaking their fist at me right now :P
It’s amazing, it worked brilliantly in Japanese although it got too difficult for me far too quickly and I was relying on the English translation it was showing.

Couple of things. I was promised a fluency score for my conversation but when I finally decided to press the button, I got a login/sign up page and I felt that that “ransom” feeling that a post the other day spoke about. If I’d been given a score, it wouldn’t have stopped me signing up and getting my own account to save the conversation I’d just had. I did sign up but only in the spirit of the fact you want feedback. If it hadn’t come from here I would have abandoned at this point and not come back. Sad but true.

So when I finally did get in, I still didn’t get my fluency score and that conversation was gone forever. I’m left now really wanting to know how I did, but I’ll never know.

I did a quick second conversation and then went straight for the score after a couple of rounds. My score was 0 :(

Btw I’d love it to be able to interrupt the AI because it was speaking away to me but I was ready to speak back but I had to wait or speak over it.

I really like it though and hope it gets smoother and better over time, because I know that I would be a paying customer for something like this that genuinely helped me improve my language skills.
Seems more difficult than my Linux setup.
If it serves to limit the browser software to chrome, than sure. But if its an open ecosystem than i think anticompetitiveness is a hard argument to make.

Making a popular product with choices that we don't like is not anti-competitive.
Wtf, it has nothing to do with fanboys, and noone said that software optimizations are the reason why the M-series chips are so good - otherwise why did the intel ones not perform better under macs?

What was highlighted on the software side is the way Rosetta works/performs.
The other two downsides are: Some people may chose not to have their email account on the phone. Personally I don't want to carry around access to my main email at all times (the same goes for access to my main bank account, BTW.)

Also, email delivery sometimes takes a very long time, it can be minutes, if you rely on email forwarding to protect your main email address.

Auth apps are better for 2FA, at least for me.

Why is brave shilled so much ? I don't think I recalled seeing as many ads from a browser other than brave. Using a browser that claims to be the new savior of the internet, "security and privacy focused", while being related to a crypto and heavily marketing their product... Meh.

Can someone point me to a list of exciting applications of room temperature superconductors? Trying to understand why such excitement about this!
This isn't a very good line of reasoning because it's a non sequiteur. At this point I think you're trolling more than discussing rationally.
> Which is much worse - why is it me, the user that have to care about whether I’m in a terminal or a browser window and switch the shortcuts I use for the same functionality?

How is it worse? Ctrl + C, Ctrl + D, Ctrl + Z all work as expected in the terminal.

Now you want to copy something, which is obviously not going to work with Ctrl + C, so you just add a Shift to it instead of moving to a totally different key (which you absolutely still could, btw).

The mac way is less efficient & less flexible.
I totally agree. IMHO regulators should have been looking at safety net attestation already because it effectively destroys the claim of Google that OEM have a choice and it is not Google's monopoly. The problem is that Google is really good at just keeping below the radar (only the few people will notice that are not using Apple, Google or Microsoft products, which probably does not include any politicians, the broad public or other influential individuals)

With this thing it is the same. The problem is: nobody will care. And I think everyone who should care will look away again, because it is just too complicated to explain.

The core problem is that a minority raises this concern and this minority is not loud enough. We really need to nag out banks etc if they do not allow to use de-google Android. There should be public visible lists of the few 'good' guys left. Not even tech magazines seem to pick up this topic.

I think the only thing to do for now is really actually using free browsers and free operating systems and on the other hand raise the issues (literally on GitHub?) as loud as possible. The world is just lacking enough web activism. The only loud thing about freedom of the web is web3 and crypto, but obviously to me this is just backed by some people who like keep the buzz up to make some more money with speculation.
Yes, I use mine HP Prime daily, not only the physical one, but also the emulator on Windows and Android. Mainly for quick and dirty math when developing new research ideas, too heavy for just typing in PowerShell, but not enough for me to bother launching Matlab.
> Somebody wants to learn a language properly and you're saying "don't bother". I don't get it.

Yeah. I can see that. Let me see if I can expand.

1. Keigo falls into the category of “specific purpose” (SP) language. SP language can be relatively simple things like tourism language, or it can be very deep and technical like scientific, medical, engineering, etc. SP language is typically taught and learned on a need to know basis, and it’s totally possible to be highly fluent (usually measured in terms of general proficiency) and not know anything about SP language.

2. Keigo (and this is way more than basic formal and honorific language) is used in very specific situations. As a foreigner, in almost all cases that matter, there will be an interpreter or the foreigner will be trained in keigo.

3. For reference, I think that most of the keigo that I would recommend a non-native speaker learn can be found at this link (it’s a small and easy to learn list):

https://www.fluentu.com/blog/japanese/japanese-keigo/

Furthermore, I think that most of this language is more useful receptively (listening and reading) and will almost never need to be produced (spoken or written).

4. As far as proficiency goes, most keigo would be ILR 5 / CEFR C2, with the basics linked above being ILR 4 / CEFR C1 (used dynamically… much lower as memorized set phrases). When you’re at that level and needing keigo, you know you are lacking in keigo and make an effort to learn it. Before that would probably be a learning sequencing error (other than nerdy curiosity).

Beyond learning the content in the link above, most foreigners will not find themselves in the context of needing to know or use keigo. As special purpose language, it should really only be pursued if necessary. Otherwise, the knowledge learned will most likely be forgotten due to lack of use, or it will be used awkwardly and possibly inappropriately (as I mentioned before).

If it’s just a nerd itch to scratch, then go for it. For most people, I think there are more compelling aspects of Japanese to spend time on.

Okay, let me paint you a picture: I will never go as a tourist to certain countries. I don't want to support their economies with my dollars because I think they're morally bankrupt places. I also value my own safety, freedom, and the like. Think Russia, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, etc...

That doesn't mean I'll just ignore their existence or forget to list them as places in the world.

It's a uniquely Linux-fanboy thing to just pretend Microsoft doesn't exist, or that it's not even worth including in a list.

"Superpowers: Russia, China, and India."

the app is great. Thank you for making this. The app encourages me to talk more about the topic, which I know sometimes human teachers don't do. I like the stop and start button so I can pause and think before I speak. I was speaking Mandarin and Japanese. It responds well when the my transcript is gibberish (my pronunciation is not perfect).I know some people will point out that it lacks phonetic feedback. But the point of apps like this is not giving feedback because to help learners build up confidence. Of course, some feedback in any form would be great. But this app is multilingual, so it's hard to you will have to prioritise some languages first. Overall, simple but effective. I know I'm being greedy, and I know it doesn't make sense when comparing with other traditional apps like Busuu or Pimsleur. But if you allow decent number of conversations with affordable price (netflix or spotify subscription price :)). I would consider buying it.

It is if your goal is to create a divide between the two groups. There is a reason this kind of classification isn't used with minorities, e.g. we say "hetero" instead of "non-hono".
> Linux does not have a stable userland ABI/API

I don't think that is correct. Do you have an example? Linus is adament that "[they] do not break userspace".

> it's very common for binaries built for one distro version to not work in another distro version due to changes in system libraries (curl, ssh, libc are common ones), there's usually ways to work around these but it's a mess that shouldn't be left to the user.

But that would be the same thing on windows. If you dynamically link your executable to an old version of libcurl and run your executable on a windows with a newer version containing a breaking change, you'll be in trouble, whatever your OS.

> The solution the Linux commmunity has come up with to solve this problem is containers, such as Flatpak (for desktop apps) and Docker (server apps).

Flatpak and Docker solves many other problems than kernel API. Actually, it does not solve this problem at all if you think about it because these technologies do not insulate you from the kernel (contrary to a VM).

> Statically linking libc is heavily discouraged (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57476533/why-is-statical...)

Statically linking glibc. You can perfectly statically link with any other libc. You can even code without a libc (see zig).

I'm working adjacent to the sustainability space, and I think Goodhart's law applies to a good degree, however a bad measure is often still more useful than no measure at all. It at least enables us to show flaws, develop better indicators and metrics.

When it comes to human rights in the supply chain and environmental impact, there was a complete lack of data in many cases. With the ESG, we see a major shift where companies are now scrambling to gather said data, analyse it and often also publish it.
Or the inept might trade their IDs for instant cash, as is actually happening (reportedly). Since Worldcoin is bribing 3rd-world grannies to sign up.

I know that HN is crawling with individual-responsibility people. To those people I say: do you shrug coldly when your aged mothers get scammed? Are villages without electricity fair game?

The "way CSS is supposed to work" was always a bad idea and is totally unworkable for large projects / teams. Throwing it out and simply inlining all your styles is absolutely the right call.
I’m not American, I speak Portuguese, and I’ve spent enough time in Brazil to know that the average Brazilian doesn’t know or care about the environment.

Sure, some people do, but they’re a minority.

The proof is in the pudding. Are you going to tell me that Amazon deforestation is a U.S. lie to make Brasil look bad? That your economy isn’t dependent on the pillage of the environment?

I’d guess so, as you apparently can’t read a basic graph and yourself deny the reality of climate change: “this is fake” “absurd temperatures”.

Back when I was working at Samsung, I had a manager who was absolutely convinced that google is an intelligence/CIA operation.

At the time, I found it to be a mockable suggestion, and never really thought much beyond it. Seemed like harmless IT/nerd banter back then.

About a decade later I started to reflect on what he said and began feel like I might have been working with a time traveler or other inside person.

It really does spin in my head quite a bit. If you think about how much human information flows through Google's systems... how many of us have considered some other form of intention and motivation here?

I could see the line of thinking "If they can't get basic communication right, what else are they missing?"
Most likely: You will become their product that’s it. Be sold as part of their audience and then crypto-bros can invest into you and search advertisers will get you watching their ads so you will eventually invest into a token + have your local browsing history analyzed + your searches spied by their search engine (but it won’t be Google they promise, and they will keep their promise).

At the origin, Brave was supposed to be an adware that replaces the ads of the website with theirs.

Just pick your poison but all browser developers need money to live.

The only way to be sure a browser works in your best interest would be if you accept to pay, and nobody wants to do that.

See what has happened with Neeva.
Why would you need to receive an automated voice call for a reminder?
Absolutely this - expecting free support for no reason is a ridiculous notion to build your own business on.

Even then, I think 15 years of support for a Linux distribution is a bad idea anyway - software just moves way faster than that. How supported is that release really going to be after 14 years, even with the best of effort?

Is every upstream package going to be version compatible with a 15 year old release with no breaking changes? And if it's not, and you patch around that or freeze those packages, is your software still "supported"? What if there are unpatched critical issues? Is that a better idea than keeping up-to-date with a rolling 24/36/48 month release cycle?

In the analogy of a roof or a basic appliance that's fine, but the long-term support equivalent of that is have a copy of the software on a couple of USB drives and disconnect the machine from the internet completely. As long as you don't do anything novel with it, it'll probably work for decades. There are still Windows 3.1 terminals in the wild somewhere.
The irony, I can taste it
No, ctrl+c works one way in the terminal, and a completely other way in every other GUI app. There is no good reason for this arbitrary change in meaning, objectively, otherwise from your logic it would follow that taking a screenshot would be logical in, say, gimp only by pressing ctrl+alt+shift+c, which I hope we can agree would make no sense.
Thanks for making it even more confusing by introducing Fahrenheit, haha. ;)
For a site like HN the questions would be if this is just a rebadge of somebody else's video streaming on a CDN or if NASA has self bootstrapped with something novel. It's large enough to have a lot of capacity, DC and transit and it's got smart people who do network, video content encoding and scaling for a living.

I tend to the former. Despite all the pro reasons above it would be poor use of public funds for core science when it's really targeting science communication and outreach.

It's got great content and needs to get it out. It's probably done an RFP and a video specialist is doing this under contract.

I look forward to using it.
I'm curious when you bought that TI calculator and whether you were aware of the whole scene around the TI-83+/TI-84 calculators. When I was in high school, these calculators were the required calculators for certain classes and exams. But a lot of my classmates liked these calculators because of a niche online community that had figured out how to write assembly programs that targeted the Z80 processor in these calculators. And that meant that we could load games like Tetris or Phoenix (a Space Invaders clone).
Nonsense. That's an entirely pro-American-centric way of looking at the multipolar proposition. You've gotten too used to the hegemony.

Other nations are sick of American/Western influence in their politics - which is vast and extensive, and: undeniably corrupt.

A Multipolar World is one in which the sovereign rights of nations are respected and not superseded/subjugated by extra-national entities/agencies which do not answer to the democracies or indeed legislature of the nation involved.

A unipolar world is one where a single nation can call up a collective cabal to form an imperial army and invade and destroy countless other nations around the world, and not a single other nation can stand against that cabal and bring its war criminals to justice.

A Multipolar world is one in which small countries do have a choice of their own - and they can thus choose to eschew American hegemony. That is happening across the globe in spite of all attempts by America's hegemonic organs to maintain the iron grip they have had for decades over the worlds poor. Thankfully.
