I haven't used the Files app in awhile, but I think it might have special permissions? I know I had a real hard time deleting music to free up space

(As mentioned, I don't think the Unix security model would have been enough -- not even close, it's a hard problem)

I think the problem is that APPS own data, not USERS

This is a bit incoherent. Like the Amazon Music app has its own private data area to store files. And then I can put my own mp3s on my phone, but that experience sucks.

And those files are in no way related to the Amazon mp3s.

A related thing is that Android doesn't seem to expose USB drives as files -- it's a custom protocol now, and you need a custom app on Ubuntu/Windows/OS X.

I don't even remember -- the experience was so bad, that I stopped trying to use Android that way

---

I mean Windows is a bit like this too. It's full of bespoke/proprietary files that you're not supposed to touch. It's commercial, so it's code-centric, not data-centric.

Unix is data-centric. Your files come first, and then you can use different programs to open them and manipulate them.

As a real concrete example, see this restoration of a Flash video game -- it has different programs for code, visual assets, audio assets, etc.

My comment - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34082894

This is beautiful!

You could argue that the Unix data-centric model got pushed into the developer niche, and end users have chosen the app-centric model. But I would say there are tons of computer-literate people out there (making Minecraft mods, professors doing experiments, etc.) who are limited by the app-centric model.

Computers could just do a lot more, but you have to wait for the person who owns your data to implement the features you want (e.g. the whole Adobe ecosystem, Autodesk ecosystem, Google sheets, docs, and more)

IMG007 is the mostly-complete build and probably answers your question most directly.

Basically it's just a wooden tube with a fan inside in the middle that draws air from inside the tube and exhausts it out the top. I stick a furnace filter in each end of the tube so the air that's getting sucked in is pulled through the filters.
Expect it wont be long before someone has a Pi or Arduino shim to feed this thing any ROM one likes

I get why a curious engineer would do this, but there are already so many devices we have laying around that can already hook into the TV and play atari (and other) games...

I suspect there's few people who own many original Atari 2600 or 7800 carts that really want to use them like this: surely that'll degrade their antique value?

History shows that if this takes off, it'll increase demand for carts and raise prices. Of course, prices on these carts aren't that high to begin with. There's a ton of them laying around, so the supply might be able to absorb the demand...

True collectors pieces might be something CIB, and yeah, you wouldn't want to crack those open, but even some games like Galaga are only going for $20 CIB...
I trust my government to not infringe on my free speech but I don’t trust that another government that doesn’t have good diplomatic relations with mine doesn’t detain me if I happen to fly through one of their airports because of my beliefs. I avoid China and Chinese airlines because I don’t feel like censoring myself on the internet. Luckily China doesn’t have too many allies.

Both of those claims are almost certainly wrong, if “members” includes agents as well as overt officers.

I cannot understand why there are not 3 or 4 categories of incidence severity (user data exposed, etc. I think there is a standard or multiple) and management maps each of those to a quantity in euros. Then everyone would get what they want, since it is just an estimate.
TL;DR (from what I understood so far):

- the Zig compiler will get a new integrated C frontend written in Zig

- ...and a new backend which can emit LLVM bitcode (so it's still possible to integrate with an external LLVM toolchain)

- C++ and ObjC compilation (or Clang's specific flavour of C) will be delegated to a package dependency which includes a clang toolchain, accessible through the build system

...so things will be shuffled around, but no functionality will be lost.
the list of similarities masqueraded as differences is pretty large

one example:

arbitrary seizure of private property? turns out that isn't just the domain of pretend communists, its a tenet of our society too
Its almost tautological and by definition that your local government has legally granted power (might even say monopoly practically speaking) for violence and kidnapping over you. A distant foreign government has to expend great resources to do the same for you which your government would do with a stroke of the pen. Sometimes even without that thin veneer.
Why don't we see "psychological struggle" (or stress) as an indicator of skill/resource deficit?

Whenever there is struggle, we notice our own deficiencies. The point is not to continue with the same struggle forever, but to graduate into more sophisticated struggles - just like we graduate into higher grades in school.

That was my overall message. That we have to continually solve the problems. And there's never an end to the process..

Another perspective: The 1st grader is stressed by 1st grade problems, but the 10th grader is not stressed by 1st grade problems. This clearly demonstrates stress is related to capability. And also provides hope that through effort and time, one can graduate to higher levels.

Love how many people are telling you "don't use powershell" instead of actually helping. Some tips:

- Powershell isn't case sensitive. Typing `ConvertTo-Json` is annoying, but you can write `convertto-json` instead.

- `alias` tells you all the built-in aliases.

- The autocomplete is really, really good. Press ctrl-space to get all the options to tab complete commands, flags, or flag values. IE you can pipe something to `select -prop` and autocomplete all the fields of the thing. Also you can autocomplete with wildcards, like `*Json`.

- Flags don't need to be written out in full, you can write `select -exp` instead of `select -ExpandProperty`.

- Pipe stuff to `Out-Gridview` to get a filterable, sortable popup!

Yikes. How are we going to stop the internet from becoming virtually useless ? Outside of Wikipedia (and even then).
Edit: wow, apparently some people here really don't like Gateway Hemisync. All I've tried to share source material on its claims and make a plea for keeping an open mind. Perhaps those so virulently opposed can find that open mind with meditation.

Recommend checking out the Koru system. It's an evidence-based mindfulness system out of the Research Triangle.

Regardless, the Monroe Institute already performed groundbreaking research in this area 50 years ago. I don't have a source at the moment, but I remember reading that the Monroe Institute's binaural beat audio programs creates brainwave patterns similar to that of an advanced Buddhist monk in meditation.

Apparently, the Monroe Institute discovered that the elevated mental states achieved by these monks is achieved with brain hemisphere synchronization, which they call "Gateway Hemisync." According to the Monroe Institute, "this process uses pulses of sound to create in both brain hemispheres electrical wave forms simultaneously equal in frequency and amplitude. The Institute was granted a patent in 1975 based upon the use of such sound pulses to induce a frequency following response (FFR) in the human brain. The FFR demonstrates that when you hear a certain type of sound, your brain tends to respond to, or resonate with, that sound...Each ear sends its dominant nerve signal to the opposite brain hemisphere...By sending separate sound pulses to each ear (using stereo headphones to isolate one ear from the other), the halves of the brain act in unison to “hear” a third signal, which is the difference in frequencies between the two signals in each ear" [1].

A group in the US Army performed a serious analysis of the Gateway Hemisync process, concluding that "there is a sound, rational basis in terms of physical science parameters for considering Gateway to be plausible in terms of its essential objectives", which include "out-of-body movement", "terrestrial information gathering trips", and "possible encounters with intelligent, non-corporal energy forms when time-space boundaries are exceeded" [2].

The article is talking about scientific validation of meditation and its outcomes. That's not to say we should blindly accept the claims of those scientists, the Monroe Institute, or the US Army. The key is to follow the evidence while remembering that greed and prestige is what's causing the "McMindfulness" effect.

Smartphone apps will be most useful for personal guided meditations, but they should be freely available.

The MAPS conference (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) was protested by indigenous people for colonizing their medicine practices. Their point was about what you're touching on here:

These tools were developed to address the problems of the world, not to play into the individualization of collective harm. They were for helping the world, not simply self.

A great test of whether or not these methods are colonized: does one come away with the ability to envision decolonial anticapitalist ways forward and then choose to enact them?

If not, probably colonized medicine.

Decontextualized wisdom is a form of ignorance and typically leads to harm.
Criminal not to mention this.

You install TST, and then you remove the strip of tabs across the top. Much cleaner look and basically you have all your bookmarks all there, forever. Mostly as unloaded tabs of course but they're one click away in the tree somewhere.
You don’t need to convince the general public on these points, just a large enough subset (like nerds). This situation has happened before with Internet Explorer, and can be fixed again.
To be fair, I've thought about this sometimes too. Like, I contribute to technology myself, but in a very minimal way. And most people don't at all, they consume. But there are a golden few in the world who are doing _everything_.

For example how many people in the world actually know how to build an EUV machine like ASML's one? How many people understand the absolute forefront of integrated circuit design? Maybe like, 1-2 dozen people at most?

It's a pretty crazy thought. And I bet none of those guys are making as much bank as the suited executives above them.
can you provide some resources to understand this "advanced" meditation? my attempts with calm/headspace etc always stop at the same theme of 'concentrate on breathing, distractions are fine'.

I wanted to understand what is out there, especially outside of these apps and folks who pursue meditation seriously.
I can’t compare directly to SF, but I’ve noticed a similar trend in Chicago. Drivers here have always been a bit aggressive, but in years past, I wouldn’t have classified it as downright dangerous.

The things I see now are mind bogglingly stupid and dangerous.

> You tell people to use the new email.

Easier said than done. For most people that probably means updating literally hundreds of sites (and better hope all of those have a way to change your email). Not to mention telling your contacts to use the new email, and hope they don't forget and send an important email to the wrong domain.
Grist is a spreadsheet with Python support (I am a founder). Python does make some formulas far easier. Nice to see Excel has data science libraries included from the start, that's something we've had our eyes on for a while. On the other hand, Grist is open source and can be run locally.
Take a ride on a tall (or double decker) bus, and just look down into random people's cars as they drive. Last time I did that, I'd say close to 80% of the drivers were scrolling through social media or texting while they were driving. It's a massive problem, and I agree it should be treated exactly like DUI and people should have their licenses revoked for repeatedly doing it. Playing with your phone while driving is probably even more dangerous than DUI because it's been so normalized that people doing it don't even realize how much of a menace they are.
The Chinese police has little to no power to arrest you if you are an American citizen while you are in America, legally not at all, and practically they would need to expend great effort to do so. The American police has a "god gifted" power to arrest and kill you while you are in America, both legally and practically. These are simple, plain facts of the geopolitics and how governments are organized.

Moreover any such Chinese agents if caught will go through some rather unpleasant processes, does not seem usually the case for American cops even brazenly caught in various misdeeds.

I've used that before. Props to the developer, but on top of the extension, we also have to install software for it to work. It also doesn't fix new profiles opening in the background and the messing up of dock icons, although this might only affect Mac users.

The annoying thing for me is that Firefox already has a similar UI button that could easily be adapted to switch profiles. It even looks like Chrome's, but all it does it show you your Firefox/Mozilla account.
> you're using the wrong tool anyhow - do crypto at the file level where you aren't constrained by sector sizes.

Really, I'd say that 99% of the uses of block device encryption would be better served by using a filesystem that supports encryption natively. The remaining 1% is for block devices that handle the encryption in the hardware.
> in the US, a friend just started a company there, got an unsecured 80k line of credit at 1.5% on a fresh LLC

This almost certainly required a personal guarantee (the friend would have to promise to repay the loan in the case the LLC could not).
AUM: "Assets Under Management".

Why does that matter? Why is 10T too much? It's a big number but that money is ultimately under the control of the individual asset holders (so far as I understand it anyways).

Seems similar in spirit to Lips, a pre-processor which can evaluate Lisp and splice it into the output (Common Lisp https://github.com/zc1036/lips or Scheme https://github.com/rbryan/guile-lips )
Especially the build system had tons of changes on the way to 0.11.0, and many Zig projects seem to prefer to "live on dev", so frequent breakage wasn't all that surprising during the last year or so.
> Isn't "consensus" just another word for "(eventual) consistency"?

In my head, there's a distinction. Consensus can be used for non-commutative operations, whereas signed CRDT chains can operate entirely without any form of "agreement" other than how they are applied (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30560573). I wouldn't call distributed CRDTs "consensus."
I recently played a bunch of these classic games with my 7 and 10 year old nieces and they loved them. There’s something magnetic about the challenge and simplicity that seems timeless IMO

What's the point? As far as I'm aware, no randomized controlled trial has shown that masks that people commonly wear (cloth or surgical) reduce infections or spread.
> What's the point of "quickly scaling renewables" if they can provide 0.55% of their nameplate capacity?

If you're doing that bad on average over the year, you put them in the wrong place.

Fortunately the actual number for PV is about 10%, and even given that capacity factor the world is currently on the path to that alone being sufficient by the early 2030s.

> no one knows how this problem will be solved (and if it can be solved)

It definitely can be solved.

Any of the things I listed, alone or in combination, are sufficient to solve it.

They're almost certainly not the only options, and I'd be surprised if lil' me can pick the best, but they all work.

> Currently the only reason is working is that countries burn copious amounts of coal and gas to keep up with demand.

"Currently".

That's like saying your car is "currently" only as fast as a bicycle while you're in a 20 zone and have yet to reach the autobahn, but then trying to use this fact to conclude cars are incapable of higher performance rather than just you've not done it yet.

And if everyone running the grid were to say "we're not having a grid any more", Kaufland and Obi both sell kWh-range battery packs at low enough prices that, given the way they wear over use, they'll already be cheaper over their lifetime. That lifetime is longer than most people care to invest for, hence why it's not common, but it is already there.
A major issue I have with firefox is that it loses my pinnend tabs if i close browser windows in the wrong oder. Is there a way to keep them always?
"A Modest Proposal"

A Modest Proposal (1729) - Project Gutenberg : https://www.gutenberg.org/files/1080/1080-h/1080-h.htm

A Modest Proposal For preventing the children of poor people in Ireland,

from being a burden on their parents or country, and for making them beneficial to the publick.

by Dr. Jonathan Swift 1729

----

Modest Proposal : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Modest_Proposal

a Juvenalian satirical essay written and published anonymously by Jonathan Swift in 1729.

The essay suggests that the impoverished Irish,

might ease their economic troubles by selling their children as food to rich gentlemen and ladies.

This satirical hyperbole mocked heartless attitudes towards the poor,

who were predominantly Irish Catholic (i.e., "Papists"), as well as British policy towards the Irish in general.

In English writing, the phrase "a modest proposal" is now conventionally an allusion to this style of straight-faced satire.*

> Mozilla should up its game in educating the public that Edge and Chrome aren't following the standards correctly.

I don’t think most people care about this. What they may care about is whether something works on their default browser, which is likely to be Edge or Safari or Chrome. Mozilla should instead target Microsoft and Google on the standards tracks and in forums where discussions on standards (and on security) happen.
> It should have nothing to do with spying since there isn't anything important that's submitted to the app

How can anyone say that's not true today? I thought we all had the same wake-up call that metadata is as important as the data itself a few years ago already.

Quantity being a quality all of its own, who can even say what it's possible to infer if you had the ability to data mine Tiktok? I mean, supposedly it was possible at one point to tell when shit's doing down in DC just because there was a spike in late night pizza delivery.

It's basically a global training program to teach youth to constantly be making and posting videos online in inappropriate places.
Fair point.

I'd assert that they don't have consciousness, though. But as I said, that probably means we're using different definitions. And I have no way of proving that mine is right, nor even a convincing argument that you should adopt it.

It's not the shady sites that resell free or international keys, etc. I specifically didn't link to those (they're easy to find, but of questionable ethicality and usability).

FWIW if the dev offers a Steam key on their own site, I'd just buy it that way. But otherwise if it's Steam or one of those authorized resellers, there's no reason to prefer Steam itself. GMG, Humble, Fanatical, etc. have great deals that let me try games I otherwise wouldn't bother with. If they turn out good, usually there's in app purchases and cosmetics I'm happy to support. IMHO this is a good form of price differentiation, letting the base game be widely available for people to buy but selling supporter packs and cosmetics for people who really like it.

(P2W is a different story)
> tautological and by definition

That's redundant and repetitive.
I see, so to confirm, I could have the workflow in a seperate repo than the repo I'm publishing? That would solve my concerns.

I see in your docs that there is a repository config option, so that could work. If directory works with a submodule or repo pulled in previous job, that could also be an option. I'll give it a try later.
Everyone deserves an experience like that, at the very least – everyone deserves to be in a position where they have the opportunity to really enquire, or engineer, or know what it's like to solve new problems. It really is a good purpose that education could meet.

Yes, package creation. The "right way" use create package.jl or whatever feels like a speedbump and requires setup.

That sounds like something I'd use, yeah. If you wanted to be fancy, you could make a function, putting uninitialized values into the argument list.
