not just regularity of going there yourself, but you also need to pick places or activities where most of the participants are regulars too.

and that is more likely the case for small active groups or clubs, not bars or museums. but it could be boardgame nights at a bar, anything that draws only a small group.

on events that draw a larger crowd, you have to pay attention to who the regulars are and focus on associating with those if you want to develop any kind of friendship.

Unity is up to some Oracle-tier bullshit with their pricing model. I guess they figured the market for their stuff was well saturated and it's time to enshittify if they want to meet their shareholders' growth expectations.

This makes me SO glad I decided to write games without use of a commercial engine.
To put "millions" into perspective based on the value of Apple, that is less than a dollar to the average American.

Of course, a company doesn't get that large by giving out money with no push back. Just some perspective.

Why do you think "can not happen" even matters?

No one does think it can not happen, because that is a silly thing to even say. "can not happen" does not exist anywhere, there is only likelihood of happening, based on both history and motivation.

How often HAS it happened in any reputable distros official repos? They have all got decades of history by now so a good sea of data to generate solid statistics on frequency and distribution.
I use a shared hosting and basic php for validating etc. you can create a decent bootstrap html website. for the first year it's $35 or something for "unlimited" websites. Are the good skills for a corp job no, but it allows you to test out a couple different ideas.

Here's an example of what I built: aiwebresearcer.com

It's not the prettiest but if your validating an idea the design won't matter much and nether will the latest framework. the exception is if your product is for developers then they will probably compare your site to the largest tech companies and good luck with that.
Sweden's gangs are a product of the failures of the Swedish state to heal socieconomic disparities and integrate all members of society. They are Swedish through and through.
I doubt it, it will only solve the case of "pay your friends who you have an already established trust relationships with."

Any transaction with a business or stranger there will still be a market for something reversible, disputable, and with insurance against scams. They also hook into currently exchanges automatically for you when paying overseas and their jurisdiction for pulling back your money is global rather than just in your country.

FedNow is a Zelle/ACH killer, they don't provide direct-to-consumer services and if your bank or consortium of banks ever issues cards/apps that can be used at new POS systems they will have just invented Visa, and there's no reason Visa won't support settlement with Fednow over ACH. You could already cut out Visa with a "Pay with Zelle" type scheme but there's little appetite for it even in countries where their version of FedNow has existed for years.
And that shouldn't necessarily be surprising or taken as an indication of foul play. Really small incidental differences in test setup or equipment can mean different labs doing the same test get different results.

I do find this difference to be surprisingly large, it's not like the threshold is 4W/kg and Apple claims they measured 3.9 and France claims they measured 4.1... But what do I know.
The e-bike only works if you keep below the speed at which it's mandated to stop assisting. If one has a mental disability that urges the individual to pass by any and all cyclists in front of them, an e-bike will not relieve them from the necessity to shower.

Like most high-growth tech businesses throughout most of their lifetime. Fair critique of the industry at large IMO, but it’s very much “by design.”
Number two can be addressed with something like this:

You can shrink the range by using a smaller prime number and throwing on out-of-range input. And then you can offset the output to make sure the base-N encoded value is always D digits long.
you can even add a script to let custom noise play on key strokes :D
The 2nd half of this is not correct - only domains whitelisted by Google can use the browse APIs in Chrome. You need to apply to Google with your business's DUNS number to get your domain whitelisted for you website to able to call the Chrome Privacy Sandbox APIs.

Here is the process to apply:
https://github.com/privacysandbox/attestation/blob/main/how-...

It's the only browser API I can think of where Google approves, rather than the user (eg: normally, the user is prompted when a website wants to use the browser's webcam or location APIs - in this case, Google handles the approval for the user!)
Soon, privacy popups will have randomized text, placement, icons, and style, changing each time you take the choice they dislike.
Yes I send my taxes US mail, certified, at the post office.

The USPS scans envelopes. They don't open them and scan the contents.

Intercepting, opening and reading postal mail that isn't addressed to you is a rather serious federal crime. Email? Google does it every day, all day long.
Well said. Apple has no incentive to improve backwards compatibility because they make more money keeping the transactions flowing. People being apple to use their applications for a long time is bad for business. Unfortunately the market hasn't punished them for this behaviour, so they keep doing it.

Although it’s fair to say our social net needs patching, I find it interesting that I’ve made similar observations in some places here in the United States, especially in places with robust assistance. You might find our history on mental institutions interesting if you’re unfamiliar. They were billed as a solution to the group you describe, and they were initially very popular and widely supported politically. Unfortunately, most people know the rest of the story. The system was rife with abuse and cruelty. I think it left a terrible mark on the idea that we could help such people effectively.

Ask Dang: What Has Happened with HN's HTTPS Recently?
I have an old Blackberry 9790 smartphone and this was my main device for reading HN while travelling. This smartphone has a peculiarity - it cannot read 99% of websites. No Google, Wikipedia and everything else you use every day. I know for sure that the problem is with HTTPS certificates, but I am not a networker to explain this in detail.

Until recently, I could actively use HN - read, upvote and comment, no Algolia search of course. But today (perhaps a little earlier) this problem with website certificates on my BlackBerry also affected my favorite web-site. To give you a chance to figure out what my problem is, I’ll leave a few links that continue to work on this device:

lesswrong.com
vitalik.ca
justine.lol
caltech.edu
cat-v.org

Is it possible for HN to have at least some kind of read-only mirror for those who cannot use HTTPS?

I wish they would teach home finance in high school more vigorously. I would like it to be a mandatory math class, like Geometry or Algebra; junior or senior year. It's probably more impactful than any math class they teach now.

I'm happy to report that my kid's middle school teaches constitutional law now. Most people 10 years ago didn't even know their rights when dealing with the state, that seems to be changing.
The author is explicitly not trying to sell family punishment. They are merely pointing out that it can be very effective. Making evildoers themselves suffer maximally for the crimes they commit is just another extreme.

> From apple’s perspective today sounds like a great day to pull the 12 because people would just assume it’s not available any more now that the 15 is out.

It's even better because it's not available anymore exactly because of that reason :). You cannot get it in any (online) Apple Store, be it French or not.

In every R&D team, there's that standout individual, the rockstar everyone seeks advice from. Typically, these programmers are humble and never label themselves as wizards or high performers and they usually walk bare feet in the office. Ever wondered how these top developers distinguish themselves?

If the complaints were about major things like high interest car loans or living without roommates in your early 20s then sure, I'm confident that there are plenty of young people who are making very expensive financial decisions without thinking it through.

But "why can't young people afford houses" is well explained by student loans and high home prices even for financially careful young people.
That's just a straight-up scam rather than laundering, generally (the money resulting from _that_ would then need laundering).

True, but /usr/home is no longer a common place to store home directories. It used to be, particularly in Bell Labs Unix. (Does FreeBSD still do this?)

The Linux Foundation’s File Hierarchy Standard puts user homes in /home, but it’s by no means mandatory.

/home being the *nix home folder directory isn’t written in stone, but plenty of software expects it. Of course you shouldn’t hard code things like that, but that has never stopped anyone from doing it. (Not that we should reward that with de facto standards necessarily.)

I understand the various reasons why a root file system hierarchy isn’t part of the Single UNIX Specification, but it might have been nice.

Obviously I cannot know everyone working for Microsoft. But I do know few people. Also, since I would never work for Microsoft, at the times I spent many years working for the same employer and either wanted to practice interviewing because I thought I might be headed for the door soon, or just to keep things fresh, I'd apply for jobs with Microsoft.

And invariably I'd hit the most bonedeaded interviewers I'd ever talk to. Arrogance is common to all interviewers in the tech giants, Microsoft is no exception of course. But in the context of glaring lack of any kind of ability, arrogance hits a lot harder...

What also stands out is that programmers working for other companies would typically know something about the platform their company didn't use. Like, if you talk to a person at Google RSE department, they'd still know something about how things are on MacOS or on MS Windows. Microsoft programmers are completely oblivious to anything outside Microsoft. They believe that whatever garbage they came up with is the best thing there is never trying alternatives. But, in rare cases when they do, their knowledge is very distorted and superficial.

Here's a real case of someone who worked for Microsoft for about ten years and branded himself a "visual C++ programmer". This guy started about the same time with me in a company which was transitioning from a bunch of Windows tools to Linux. Part of the transition was to move away Perforce and to Git. It was the time when even small companies would self-host Git, and the typical way to do that was to create Linux users on the server hosting Git repo and give programmers SSH access to it.

The sysadmin there was new to Linux, but we were kind of friends, especially since I had more Linux experience, so he'd come and chat with me about his job. One evening he comes to me and starts asking about how'd I set up Wine. Intrigued by why he'd need that... soon I discover that the "visual C++ programmer" guy requested that the sysadmin install an FTP client on the server, so that he can access Git repo... and that FTP client has to be some Windows-only junk, and so the sysadmin though that maybe it would run on Wine.

It was so many stupid things and of such magnitude all at once... I almost had a spasm laughing. And that's, basically, how my experience with Windows programmers usually went. I never had a moment of "hey, this guy may be OK, not like the others" or anything close. Somehow it was always bizarrely otherworldly comedically stupid.
Respected, but I really hate private trackers. They do nothing for preservation because all of the torrents on there are not only hidden from 90% of people who would want them, but also it's all gone once the site shuts down (see rarbg.to for the opposite effect). Learned enough Russian to navigate rutracker.org and the sheer amount of good music on there that's frequently updated and seeded is astounding to how much of a barren wasteland TPB and 1337x is for things like that.
> G & E usually had housing, but they also had a peculiar syndrome of being robbed quite often. People would somehow break into their home and steal their trading cards, jewelry, and other valuables. These thieves may even have the correct key to their door. There was apparently nothing the landlord or law enforcement could do, so G & E had to keep purchasing stuff they wanted to replace what was stolen.

What's the subtext? They weren't really being robbed and were perpetually using this lie to beg for money to feed habits that were otherwise beyond their means?
Calculations should include not just the CO2 output per kWh of today's grid but also the CO2 output per kWh of the grid over the 20 year expected lifespan of the heat pump. Most developed countries have committed to a net-zero grid by 2035. Even if you believe that they'll break that commitment, they will likely get close.

Is google that creepy? I've seen iphones with facebook get some crazy targeted messages that I've never seen before. Heck, even me being in the same room as an iphone with facebook installed seems to get me facebook (web) recommendations for whatever was discussed.

Degoogled Google is the way to go IMO. Maximum privacy and its not some black box that is giving your data to the US government or China.

This is why some of us have been saying, for decades, only to use free software. And to base business models on actual services, not the sale of what can be infinitely and effortlessly copied.

To the developers: You signed a contract, and now you expect to not have to live up to it? And equally to users: Why are you using a broken toy computer not under your control that effectively acts only to hurt you? Euphemistically calling it a "telephone" does not hide the fact you are in an abusive relationship with Microsoft/Apple/Google/Amazon (the 'evil MAGA'). Throw those gadgets away, stop hurting yourself.
Rescue and Restore
Have fun pulling notes from websites without ML. NLP just plain didn't work before ML. The thing is that with ML you are able to work with unstructured data, e.g. routing email without having a complicated system the person mailing you has to understand or hundreds of brittle, hand written rules that in the end won't fire anyway because somebody spelled a word wrong.

I think ML/AI is just not ready for a lot of applications because it's not good enough, but our models are still improving every month. Impossible to know what it's like in 5 years.

Not everything in life needs to lead to profit. And indeed those that do are oft paved with bad decisions who harm numerous if not millions of people.
I am in the US and have 35+ days in my package and cannot fathom a situation short of major illness where I will use them all in a calendar year.

I realize that it is cultural and probably due my generation’s reputation for work ethic and disregard for work/life balances. I also have been lucky in that I am rarely sick enough to miss work and being remote just means you power through it (I have lost only a half day to sick time in the last 15 years). I see sick days eating up a lot of my colleagues paid time off.

I think on average I probably take a total of 20 days off a year, broken out as 10 days around Christmas/new years, 5 mid/late summer, then 5 around other holidays to extend a weekend.

> This is honestly the saddest thing I’ve read in years, maybe even decades.

> We’ve gone so far down the hole that you are like fuck it I’m gonna buy it because of the god damn charging cable

Your comment is emblematic of everything that is wrong with this generation of Apple, its fanboys, and tech fanboys more generally.

People are not wrong to want what they want. People are not wrong to appreciate features they find useful because these features simplify their lives. The charging cable matters. It's a fucking phone. The convenience surrounding use of the charging cable will matter more to people than some fiddly little improvement to the camera or bandwidth or some thing that's not central to being a phone.
Swedish means from Sweden, these gangs are from Sweden, membership is pretty varied, non-native Swedes, native Swedes from different ancestral ethnicity and completely native Swedes with families being European for a long, long time...

I don’t see how you can actually read the article with any care and think the author expressed an opinion. They aired a possible counter argument - “ Tracking technology can arguably benefit us as well.” In two paragraphs in a much longer piece.

It’s sad that HN has become a place where there is only room for simplistic one sided rants. That actual journalism is met with angry swearing.
> I really don't think you can just import scientists and engineers and essentially develop TSMC.

I think it's more a question of being willing to spend the money you need to stay at the cutting edge. Based purely on market logic, you can't build a TMSC because it would be too expensive and risky for modern-day capitalist investors to contemplate.

But if you have resources and don't care about making a profit in the market (like a government), you can do it eventually.

> It's not the sixties anymore, Intel has a massive R&D budget but they are not currently able to compete with TSMC. Technology is also quite advanced, I doubt it's just a few years of R&D.

I don't think Intel is "not able" to compete, but rather they took a costly mis-step. IIRC, TMSC took a more slow-and-steady approach, while Intel was too ambitious and its plan failed, so now it has to backtrack.

> In fact, it's so expensive, there are only a few factories on earth capable on producing those chips.

IIRC, they basically build a new factory each time the technology advances, so that's not as much of a limitation than it sounds.
Plenty of decentralized alternatives exist. You will have to sacrifice price stability though.
> However what begins as open source ends up coopted by the big corporation.

That's what worries me too...while I think this is what humanity should be working towards, I also think getting it wrong could be permanent checkmate (whereas as is now, the direct democracy option is a Plan B we have at our disposal).

I think solid safeguards are possible, but the text of this article doesn't give me confidence that these people are likely to think of and implement them.

As an aside: it is fascinating how little talk there is of reforms to the system of democracy, particularly in tech circles.
I hope that entities like large VC firms and accelerators like YC and Techstars are lobbying for software development expenses to continue to be treated like regular expenses, rather than amortized. Are they?

I used to think that about smartwatches, but after buying one, I don't anymore. It makes a lot of things really easy, much easier than the same task on a smartphone. For example – buying stuff via contactless card (by scanning the watch) is extremely convenient and has mostly replaced my physical wallet.

My guess: the future is a smartwatch linked to eyetracking-based AR glasses. Looking at a screen will seem blasé in 2050.
I think Node.js is unsuitable for normal routing tasks like this because of single-threaded runtime. This could be achieved really easily with popular web servers like nginx or caddy. If I remember correctly, there was a lot of tutorial about serving static files using nginx in front of express.js/koa.js for better performance and that serving static files doesn't compete with the dynamic part of the website.
