yeah, that might be true, with all that's going on the news,my first thought was that the commenter is linking planned obsolescence with technology progress (sarcastically). Thanks for the perspective.

Thanks, I stand corrected on the VR side.
From what I've seen Bethesda tried to get Nvidia support in optimizing for release but the game division at Nvidia is not getting resources because server/AI market is where the money is at and they only have so much experts available.

I wouldn't be surprised if this became a common theme with Nvidia in the future.
Delphi is one of the best options for rapid UI development, especially if you care more about functionality than looks. From what I gather that makes it somewhat poplar for industrial use cases.

I run an M1 MacBook Pro as my main development machine and have used MacBooks for a long time. I run a lot of heavy C++ compilation tasks.

I recently thought about augmenting my setup with a Mac M2 Studio Ultra, and offloading all compilation tasks over there.

Do any of you supplement your primary machine with other local ones? Or cloud ones?

I think it's fantastic news too. I'm at an age where know 20 or 30
women who've been through horrendous, mentally and physically injurious
experiences chasing fertility. Obviously natural birth is the
gold-standard, but this research looks like good medicine that, in
limited contexts, will save lives (of babies and mothers).

Yet I am dismayed to read so many negative, borderline paranoid
comments. And to hear the glib remarks of researchers and their PR
spokespeople caught in the corporate power dance.

We have such a deep problem with ethics in technology. I think it is
bound to the epoch, and arises mainly in the era of massive power
inequality, monopoly, poor education and massively distorted
communications. As a result, there's general scientific hubris in the
air, and the descent of the West into corporate crypto-fascism is
making wonderful scientific advances only look threatening (robots,
AI, genetics...). These are Frankensteinian times.

Now the first thing we think about when a brilliant new technology
emerges is "how will the rich, powerful and malevolent misuse this to
further enslave people?"

That can't be healthy, but unfortunately it's become a necessary
scepticism. Scientists need to (wo)man up and learn to talk about this
stuff.
Like a lot of biology, it’s complicated and often you need multiple forms of evidence to support a species classification if the viable offspring (biological species concept) doesn’t suit.

So there are lots of different models for different types of organisms. And some reproduce asexually so reproductive compatibility would never be enough.

Two simple options are evolutionary lineage (effectively genetic distance) or physical characteristics (morphology): https://bio.libretexts.org/Courses/University_of_California_...

Looking at some existing tags this one looks small actually.
I half believe this because we see that Apple was never actually good at security, but they could claim they had few 'viruses' back in the day because few people used this.

But also FOSS doesn't rely on security by obscurity. We'd see way way more linux based server hacking. Right now, it seems like these are almost exclusively social engineering attacks.
#define os_log_fault(log, format, ...) \
os_log_with_type(log, OS_LOG_TYPE_FAULT, format, ##__VA_ARGS__)

It's literally just an os_log with the "fault" type set. You can call it whenever you want. Most libraries have a couple sprinkled in for things that someone should probably check at some point but there is no actual semantics to it to mean that something is necessarily broken.
> Doesnt the title imply using words monopolists use is evidence of something? Surely thats not what defines a monopoly. You’d have to look at actual actions.

Who says they're not both looking at what Google says and what it does?

Proving that Google both has questionable practices and tries to hide them is an argument that Google not only does questionable things but also that Google is aware it's doing questionable things.
Nice, so like cloudflare without the CDN, is there also a WAF?
It's obviously not illegal. Everywhere that they try to make it illegal, builders and banks come in and lobby to ensure that they are allowed to further condense housing so that they can squeeze that much more out of every invested dollar and save on building materials in the name of "affordable housing" that none of us can afford.
I think I completely agree with that line. 5 is a nice goal to aim for. Sometimes you hit 1, some things really do take 20. 100 lines is almost always a bad idea (unless it's a 100 really boring and obvious lines).

I haven't read the book, and I can see how people can go overboard and can turn good advice into a caricature of it, but short, well-named functions that focus on a single thing are generally better than long ones that do dozens of different things. Separate those concerns.
Whatsapp has already started stinking. These days I get many spam-ish messages from verified enterprises. As of now I am getting notification related messages from entities I am using services of but some of them have started sending spams. Although it is tolerable as of now but I can see where this is going. Too bad Whatsapp is defacto messaging app in India. So much so that even gov organizations are using it to interact with citizens.
It strikes me that if women and men sent messages in exactly the same long-tail shape of distribution, and you had a knob that controlled how frequently each sent messages, you'd be able to turn each knob until 100% of women and 10% of men received messages.

This is not to say you're wrong or right, but I don't think the numbers tell us much without seeing the full distribution.
18 months doesn't sound all that bad by UK standards! Then again, this project has been in the pipeline since 2017. There's a right balance for housing policy somewhere between "approve everything" and "approve nothing", and hopefully California is finally starting to find it?

Twitter is at best the 15th largest social network, smaller than Quora or Pinterest. Yet because somehow it appeals to the narcissists in the media and celebrities, it gets treated as way more important than it actually deserves to be.

I can't wait for Elon Musk to finish running it fully into the ground.

Same story as with Hollywood, which as an industry used to generate in an entire year only as much money as 2 weeks of the telco's SMS revenues alone. But Hollywood executives are sharks highly adept at getting much more significant tech executives, with stardust envy, to overpay for their marginal businesses.
Oh, it can - the issue I hit here was one that's very similar to an issue I'd hit where the Boot Guard PCR 0 measurement simply wasn't logged at all. The vendor fixed it. I don't want to argue that that's the common outcome, but it's definitely not impossible.

Brussels effect [1], but applied to the States.

Also, a lot of copyright law around the world is very close to American copyright law, so what happens outside of the US is anyone's guess. For example, AFAIK, a lot of Soviet cartoons are in a copyright limbo of Russia because they infringe on Disney's (and others') IP [2]

> Linear everything is more readable. Have you ever seen a novel with "levels of abstraction" in it?

Not if you're in the business of writing novels. What happens if you decide to edit out a scene - do you re-read the entire book to double-check that the deleted scene wasn't referenced anywhere?
I like Steve Mould and dislike Mark Rober. hmmm. I feel a pretty good judge of character, Steve Mould is quite often humble and self effacing but he does mug and talk in a very intimate way - some people might dislike that from someone they don't really know.

I have to agree that the code on the left is far more readable (one function). I've worked with developers that have written code on the right (lots of functions), and it's always the worst to iterate on.

The problem in the second approach is the functions aren't clean abstractions, they often hide logic&state transformations that only make sense in the calling context. So the dear reader is forced to jump back and forth between the multiple functions to understand the entire process.

And just to throw a bit of shade, I encountered this type of programming more in webdev, and especially devops communities-- than with data scientists, ml, or data engineers. ;) And also when the director of eng wanted to get their feet wet every now and then.
VS Community limits are way different.

Seems like there's no limit for individuals, and the limits for "corporations" begin in $1M on annual revenue.

An even when hitting those "corporation limits" you can still use it if it's for " (i) open source; (ii) Visual Studio extensions; (iii) device drivers for the Windows operating system; (iv) SQL Server development; and, (v) education purposes as permitted above."

Hey, I have a non-webdev question.

I tried to kickstart an open source dev tool in 2022. But I failed completely. It was too hard to both maintain the product and make promotion of it.

I knew how to code, but I had no idea how to promote it, how to find users. Even free. All my tryings were pathetic and gave near zero results.

I’m a human being and my motivation started to degrade pretty quickly. Having near zero activity is super depressing.

I took a pause and decided to learn about marketing before making another leap into building own things. I also made my own open sourced launchpad for dev tools called DevHunt where I plan to launch my own future dev tools. But this must be just one step in a wider strategy plan.

I want to learn more about how to promote tools. Are here any successful founders here who can give an advice? Thanks.
Oh, interesting, on a site note, this just gave me an idea, made me think that maybe one of the reasons why boomers think that millennials are lazy is that they don't know that contemporary managers/directors are piece of shit
Love this project, although it makes me even more frustrated about how bad the pet-tracking business is right now. If you search for pet trackers on Amazon, it’s all these pesky devices with awkward shapes, high subscription costs and bad battery life. It’s pretty bad.

I currently rely on an AirTag, and for the most part it’s great as long as someone’s iPhone is nearby. However, I’m missing that GPS component.

I’d pay for this as I currently don’t have the time to build it nor the experience in building PCBs. Could be a fun project at some point, though.

The UI designer of Lazarus seems about on par with Delphi 7, from what I gather? Given that UI is one of Delphi's big selling point that's a substantial difference.

Thanks for sharing my Slack application. Here is a little background story why I build it:

Over the past two years, I have had the opportunity to work for three different companies. Interestingly, in each of these companies, there was a common need to share our working locations, whether it was at home or in the office, with our colleagues. This requirement aimed to foster productivity and collaboration within the teams. If we knew that a colleague would be working from the office, it was highly likely that others would follow suit to ensure effective teamwork.

To address this need, each company employed different methods. Some relied on direct messaging, where we would ask our colleagues about their planned work location for the upcoming week. Others used a shared spreadsheet or a dedicated Confluence page to update and maintain our location schedules. However, these approaches had their shortcomings. Some people would occasionally forget to update the data, leading to confusion and inefficiency.

This is the background story why Hybride.place is born. It is a Slack application specifically designed to manage office visits and provide visibility into colleagues' planned work locations. With Hybride.place, you no longer have to rely on manual updates or individual reminders. It streamlined the process and provided a centralized platform where you could easily manage office visits and stay informed about where your colleagues are planning to work.
As someone who wants to use the minimal amount of JavaScript, are there graceful fallbacks for when JavaScript is disabled?
Separation also has drawbacks. You have to go to open a different file and search for things by ID or class name. It’s like aspect oriented programming.
The funny thing is the guy charging $15K a month will get treated a lot better than his cheaper peers. People really do value things by how much they pay rather than some objective worth.

My last employer pulled out of a services business so I left and started contracting for the same customers. The only distinction was I charged three times as much as my employer had been. Not only were they happy to pay but their whole attitude towards me noticeably improved.
I think that this is brilliant. I'd buy two.

Important to note that this fellow has already published detailed engineering notes, BOMs, all of the gerbers. I believe this really matters when taking this to KickStarter, which is exactly what he should do.

One thing to consider is that many animals will not wear collars. However, they might wear a well-designed harness.
More interesting imho is that they also offer a Community Edition of C++Builder:

Back in the days (~ 25 years ago) it was the standard IDE to use for writing C++ Windows programs. But it was Borland back then iirc before Embarcadero took over.

Fables is an excellent work of fiction by any metric, not just as a comic. Some of the protagonists are among the most memorable characters in any fictional work. I warmly recommend it to anyone.
> Great, I'm glad you agree the labour theory of value is unable to explain and is unlikely to be valid.

You know that I didn't write anything in that regards and that you are - using sophistry - putting words under my fingertips.

This feels to me like you are not actually interested in coming to a shared understanding but more in "scoring points" in a discussion. This makes me quite sad, because that's something that I would expect from a discussion on Reddit or Twitter, but not on HN.

I wouldn't call Rosa Parks a single actor.

> In shorter words, Miss Rosa Parks's decision to stay in a forward seat was the first move in a planned boycott of the bus company and the city law, a campaign organised long before by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and run by a young, bland, handsome black parson, name of Martin Luther King Jr, who while I was in Montgomery, flew in from Atlanta twice a week to buy little vans for use by the boycotters.

The article is published by Bloomberg, who uses their terminal licensing as leverage over customers' use of competing trading systems. If you want the terminal, you need to use their trading systems. Where are the stories about that?

MEG3 (maternally expressed 3) is a maternally expressed, imprinted long non-coding RNA gene.[3] At least 12 different isoforms of MEG3 are generated by alternative splicing.[4] Expression of MEG3 is lost in cancer cells.[4][5] It acts as a growth suppressor in tumour cells, and activates p53.

So, you can potentially trade higher risk of cancer for disabling a programmed cell explosion pathway taken in Alzheimer's. That seems interesting.

To go on a slight tangent, I'm still confused why all the attempts at clearing amyloid plaque don't stop progression of the disease, and yet pharma continues to invest massive effort in the hypothesis, developping yet more amyloid drugs

But somehow we rarely hear about effort into the tau tangles themselves in popsci articles. I don't know if other targets like tau are just too hard to investigate, or if funding is really slow to shift and we're bound to spend 30 years pouring money in an old idea that invariably yields nothing in clinical trials
I always put a space after a comma. Never after a fullstop. Coding rules improve readability.

React is far from vanilla HTML. It uses JSX with attributes e.g. `className` or `htmlFor` instead of HTML's `class` or `for`. And JSX requires compiling to HTML rather than being HTML from the beginning.
Many protocols define how the nonce must be computed.

And the nonce is not sent explicitly; the different parties compute it themselves the same way they agree on a shared secret.

When a ciphertext is received, the recipient knows what the nonce is expected to be, instead of having to trust an arbitrary one.

In the context of a stream of messages, it binds the nonce to a position in the stream, allowing detection of frames that have been replayed, reordered or lost.

But when the intent is to send independent messages, the nonce should be included with the ciphertext.

For constructions with a short nonce size, the ability to choose the nonce is also very useful to improve the security bounds, by using a key derivation function to derive a new key and nonce from a larger nonce.

By the way, for streams, libsodium has the `crypto_stream_*()` functions that greatly simplifies the implementation of protocols and file encryption.
I don't see how sarcasm futhered any point. If you're trying to ridicule, it's gone the other way. How can it be illegal of so many people are doing it? I wish it was illegal. I wish any bank and builder that proposed another high density unaffordable housing development to sell to foreign investors would be put in prison. Then we might actually solve something. What's really ridiculous is someone like you siding with the scum as of it's some higher moral code of conduct. But you only believe in that code by of conduct because banks and builders invested in washing your brain to believe that high density housing is somehow good despite it being the most destructive lifestyle towards the environment, homelessnrss, happiness, etc.
Here in the UK, affordable housing provision (10% nationally, higher in some areas) is a pretty standard policy. Generally speaking, it seems to work well, although sometimes developers can buy their way out of it by providing a contribution ("section 106") to the council towards building affordable housing elsewhere. And in a few cases there has been controversy around "poor doors", with the developer providing different entrances to affordable units so that well-heeled residents don't have to brush shoulders with the unwashed masses.
In Romania there is a whole host of cheap liquors where the label will say in tiny print “alcoholic beverage with X flavouring”. For example, the label might show a pirate, leading consumers to think it is rum, but there in tiny print “alcoholic beverage with rum flavouring”. I always imagine a man in a white coat with an eyedropper adding a drop of flavouring essence to what is otherwise industrial ethanol and water. But EU labeling laws for many beverages are strict, so if it doesn’t use the weasel wording, you can trust that you are getting the real deal.
I love the app. Each week I discover a new to me species of insect in my garden. When the AI fails to work (relatively rarely) the community usually quickly manually identify it.

I’ve had less success with trees but it’s still pretty good.

The focus on images is a bit iffy. Usually I take the photo using the phones native camera app to overcome.
I always assume the bottom 10% of any market is a cesspit that is best avoided whether you are a customer or supplier. I suspect the top 10% is the same but I have little experience of that.
