I definitely don’t ascribe to the notion that crimes should be punished equally to their benefit to the party. Otherwise bank thieves would just give it all back when caught, and the risk to reward is minimal. It should be enough to dissuade a company from ever doing these illegal acts

Or lazy compliance. They were told to review half the books in the library by June, realized they were about to hit the deadline without even having started, and just said "screw it, toss 'em all to be safe".
This is the difference in my experience. USB-C ports need to be cleaned more because it has a connector in the middle. So the gap where stuff can get stuck is smaller, thus being worse.

It is easy to clean with a tweezer though. Having a single cable for everything it still the best. Apple has some blame, as they played a big role in the USB-C standard. Also, they could have made lightning an open standard. But now even my electric toothbrush charges with USB-C.

This looks super neat! I'm a little sad in general though about the amount of effort invested in the Minecraft ecosystem when it's so unfriendly to open source.

If you care about freedom-respecting software and you like Minecraft, definitely check out Minetest. I've been really impressed with it, both functionally but also code quality. Really cool project and I hope they succeed. The biggest complaint I've heard about Minetest is that the controls just aren't as fluid and polished as real Minecraft.

Many FOSS developers don't accept money when offered. But I do think we'd have a healthier, more sustainable ecosystem if it became normalized for FOSS devs to receive funding from individuals. Patreon and Patreon-like facilities seem to be pushing things more in that direction.

I think one part of the issue is developers don't want to deal with the increased accounting/income tax complexity in exchange for a pittance of contributions. If you have a wildly popular project producing a competitive salary, it's a no-brainer. But if you're only receiving a few contributions here and there, and would rather just spend your time programming, it doesn't seem worth the trouble of accepting and claiming come tax season. Hence it's historically been common to just accept free beers/meals at talks/conferences.

Another part of the issue is accepting funds for many people creates a burden/obligation for a certain level of support and forward progress. i.e. it becomes an actual job vs. something they do in their spare time when inspiration strikes.

The best way to keep track of your cat is to not let it outside. Benefits:

1. Zero cost for cat tracking devices, never need to charge them, never need to worry about the cat losing the device.

2. Dramatically reduced chance of your cat being killed by a car. Despite blogs claiming otherwise, I can find no reputable statistics on the number of pets killed by cars in the US, but there are >250k collisions with animals every year. Most are deer, but anecdotally I know many many people who have killed cats accidentally.

3. Dramatically reduced chance of your cat being killed by a coyote or raccoon. Yes, coyotes and raccoons will absolutely fuck up your cat. Yes, they are very likely in your city.

4. Your cat will not be playing a part in the wholesale slaughter of billions of birds, small mammals, reptiles, and other fauna that domesticated cats are responsible for.

5. Significantly longer predicted lifespan for your cat. The life expectancy for an indoor cat is about 14 years. For an outdoor cat, it's 2 to 5 years.

6. Your neighbors will appreciate not stumbling onto your cat's poop while gardening.

Seriously, keep your cat indoors.

A few years ago, bugs were just finding me at home, and so I went to the hardware store and purchased some heavy-duty roach poison. It's a white powder; active ingredient: boric acid. I was informed of its toxicity and the need to avoid inhaling it, where it would, you know, damage my mucous membranes.
That's the way it worked before but I don't think it works that way now that you have to pay for the check.
One of the reasons that crop eradication never worked is because erythroxylum coca is an extremely hardy plant with a deep root system that grows back faster and more robust when it's cut down. Crop replacement strategies never worked because farmers who did try for a season (and somehow resisted cartel intimidation) had nowhere to sell their crops + nobody to sell them to. All in all a very foolish endeavor and waste of money on behalf of governments.
A standard archiver like 7zip is probably a loss due to the metadata/format headers etc. When your plain text is only a few hundred bytes to start with...

I suspect the winner would be something like an LZMA derivative with a fixed dictionary. I doubt not using an adaptive encoder would be a big loss as PGN (exlcuding the metadata) is quite far from random bytes.

Ask HN: Why is archive.is logged into GitHub as user “volth”
I noticed this when trying to save a page on github. At first I thought my cookies were forwarded in the archive request, then I noticed that all requests [1] were "logged in" as this user.

The profile pic is very uncanny too lol. Curious as to if anyone knows why, but I'll do my own digging too. User "volth" does not exist on github at the time of writing.

What specific risks do you foresee with this approach?
Initial suspicion: Apps I had explicitly killed (equivalent to Force Stop) would start running. Most of these apps had no background services (or any reason to run in the background) and no notifications to show either. But they did have one thing in common: the vendor.

Further suspicion: Apps remain killed, for long periods of time, if I don't start any of them.

Quick test: Kill all apps. Start them one by one. Check if other apps are now running.

Confirmation: Pull APKs from device; RE their code for IPC.
"MUSTIE"

Misleading – information may be factually inaccurate or obsolete.

Unpleasant – refers to the physical condition of the book, may require replacement.

Superseded – book been overtaken by a new edition or a more current resource.

Trivial – of no discernible literary or scientific merit; poorly written or presented.

Irrelevant – doesn't meet the needs and interests of the library's community.

Elsewhere – the book or the material in it may be better obtained from other sources.

Man, I just disagree with the premise of removing books for any of these reasons.
The only one that I can see being good is "unpleasant", in which case the book should just be replaced with a new copy.

I would bet against them. Google is too risk-adverse. They're likely going to put out an AI that is so neutered as to be useless. Even if it was good, it's not enough for a _Google_ product to be merely on-par or slightly better than the competition. They've killed too many services unceremoniously. Only a fool would trust Google to not pull the football once again. Their reputation is and has been in tatters for years.
> looking at their code.

I can't imagine many development managers do that. And even if they did, I'm not convinced that many would make a good assessment that way.

Most of the managers I've had over my career have been poor coders. I'd hate to have them judging me by their conception of what good code is.

EDIT: I guess many people have had better managers than I've had. So my "most" and "many" may be off base.

This may seem like quibbling, but I think when large companies do this kind of thing, "greed" is the wrong kind of explanation. Greed is an emotion, or moral failing if you will, humans have. A company like DC is a complex, non-sentient system. It doesn't have emotions, it has interlocking sets of incentives (sales bonus plans, executive compensation based on beating last quarter's numbers, etc) which collectively and incrementally nudge the behavior of their employees towards unethical shortcuts. This tendency can be temporarily reined in by regulations, civil suits, strong-willed executives and employees, or a company culture that prizes integrity and longer-term results. When those restraints don't apply strongly enough, this behavior kicks in. I'm not sure what the right term is, but I'm reluctant to call it greed for the same reason that ChatGPT isn't "lying".

Not making excuses for DC, btw.
I recently got tired of trying to hack together a sane workflow on the windows computers in the lab at my university, so installed nix-on-droid and gotty on my phone.

Now I just open a tab to my phone's IP address and benefit from the big screen and full sized keyboard while still having exactly the tools I'm used to having elsewhere. When I get home and want to resume work on beefier hardware, I just push from my phone, pull from my desktop, and I'm just where I left off, except now with more resources.

You have to be a bit austere about your tool choices to make the similarity happen (sorry VSCode), but it feels like a bit of a superpower just the same.
In the context of "changes to Android 14", "just" is right. Android has required root access for modifying random apps since before Android 6, and that's only because many apps didn't bother implementing certificate pinning (which was already known advice at that point).

Alternatively, you can use ADB + Frida to pull an APK from the device, inject a binary, and inject code at runtime using Javascript or Python. That's much easier for intercepting traffic than messing with certificate stores or eBPF ever was in my opinion.
i haven't heard / read his speeches but isn't that just regular political speech? 'we'll make x great again' where they invoke some mythical glorious past x and make grand promises to appease the masses?

i'll check the book out, but if there's less speculative stuff like leaked cables, war plans, fact based reporting etc out there i'd be more receptive to the idea that the Russians were genuinely about to blitzkrieg Europe if all went well in Ukraine

As a footnote to history, Manx Aztec C shipped with a complete set of Unix-like tools for non-Unix systems. This included a partial VI clone of their own. So users of Aztec C for MS-DOS, Mac, Amiga, Atari-ST etc all got VI clones as part of the deal.

I have been a VI user my whole life as a result (I worked for Manx in the late 80's, and their flavor of VI was my first real taste of text editing).

Android apps could also do certificate pinning with the same effect though? In this case there isn't any difference between Android and iOS in functionality.

You forget that cats aren't always 100% in their kill rates. They also maim many critters who die sooner or later from their injuries.

So while you pet and play with Fluffy that evening, the mother bird she maimed earlier that day can no longer make ~100 trips a day to feed its hatchings. She tries, but can only manage a dozen or so trips. They slowly starve over the next few days despite the mother's desperate attempts.

That bird survived all the other leading causes of bird mortality, but not Fluffy. And Fluffy gets a few more bonus kills when the hatchlings expire.

I'm curious what would you do if people had a new breed of small domesticated dog that is efficient at killing outdoor cats, and those people let that dog roam like a cat?

Given that your cat is out there doing his thing, this new breed of outdoor dog is also out there doing his thing. As you said, they are simply acting on instinct and trying to be happy in a world of human creation.

His owners think he's a person. It would be cruel to lock him up all day.

But one of these dogs swiftly kills your outdoor cat. And your next cat. In fact, they're becoming the leading cause of death among outdoor cats, seconded only by cars.

Would you a) demand that dog breed not be allowed to roam because it harms cats, b) keep your next cat indoors, or c) ?

You: I'm a vegetarian

Me: You know Hitler was a vegetarian and you look like you are basically wearing a swastika.

You: Why are you calling me Hitler?

Me: I'm not, I'm just randomly bringing up Hitler even though he has nothing to do with the topic. I'm also just randomly mentioning this similar attribute you and Hitler share for no reason other than I wanted to mention it.

Nobody in their right mind would think I wasn't calling you Hitler. You implied I was a racist, a Trump supporter and a homophobe regardless if you explicitly said it just because I said stop dividing people.
Because corporations brainwashed people very successfully.
True. Two things.

The first part of my comment doesn't require a state change. I'm sure you can issue securities with a 10 year clause.

The second part of my statement is that while I largely agree with you we Still have state controlling things in the world and it's largely a good thing. You don't want a world without the State controlling an aspect of the free market.

It's not that you don't like the State, it's just that adding additional controls can lead to large unanticipated side effects. Especially sweeping changes like some of the ones I proposed. Totally get this.

That doesn't mean it won't work. Like UBI, these ideas need to experimented on and data needs to be gathered to verify whether it will work. You can't dismiss the fact that that changing public policy Won't work because it currently DOES work.

> This is unquestionably the best physical port.

No, it is absolutely not. The lightning physical port is noticeably superior for many.

> Find me a connector that does everything USB-C can do. High speeds. High power charging. Alt modes. Mobile friendly size.

That is not a function of the connector, that is a function of USB 3.0 (or 4.0) and USB-PD. The connector is a USB Type-C connector, which is a related but wholly independent standard. You are mistaking the USB protocol and USB power delivery standards for the design of one particular connector which supports those standards.

C has had _Bool natively since the 1999 ISO standard (24 years ago). The standard header <stdbool.h> has "#define bool _Bool". (The ugly name "_Bool" was chosen to avoid conflicting with existing code.)

The upcoming C23 standard will define "bool" as a keyword.
> Over the last 70 years, a 300% gain in real terms is an annual increase of 2%. That is barely outpacing inflation in my book.

Your barely ain't my barely, that is for sure.

Compared to any other form of retail investment an average UK consumer could make instead (assuming they still also need to pay for accommodation), 2% over inflation consistently over that period is very significant. 4% over inflation is surely massive. (Particularly since the last 15 years of consumer savings yields have barely matched inflation, as I understand it; no matter, since the average consumer has not been able to save meaningfully since 2008 anyway).

As a store of consumer wealth in the UK, there is nothing even remotely close to housing.

There is an HN worldview distortion where buying a house is something really almost everyone here can hope for, and having the kind of resources and risk capacity to access opportunities with greater than 4% interest is not unusual.

It's not as bad as all that. There's some gochas sure but you can cover them all with about 200 lines of code.
