I've always wondered what kind of apps these are. The vast majority of web apps I use are all CRUD. I can't think of a single webapp or electron app I use which performs heavy computation. Maybe VSCode? But I don't know if any of the computation is happening on the frontend. People have been extolling the virtues of WASM to me for a while but I have yet to find a use for it where it improved the speed of development, since that's the only metric that matters to me working on CRUD apps
Not really, it doesn’t explain much if anything. Since they only bought Bethesda in 2021
Sugar is entirely edible. Perhaps a little too edible. It's also an EU cash crop.
I don't think what you describe is the case. My company works with Unity and is not worried about any change until the license runs out.
Only then will we form a new contract and accept the new terms and conditions.
Changing a contract one-sided is not really legal in the EU

This is a major problem. It's hard to attract talent when you have low incomes and an inflexible work culture. The incentives just aren't there.

Let's say Berlin wanted to hire me tomorrow to do the same exact work for them. That would mean return to office, fixed schedule, a return to rigid corporate culture, and a significant drop in income.

A friend of mine works in government IT, and the stories are both hilarious and sad. Some people in the Greens are afraid of Wi-Fi waves...
As a foreigner who moved to Berlin 6 years ago, congratulations.

This is brilliantly done.

It is so crazy that the biggest economy in Europe is so non-digitalized.
In the course of doing some energy improvements (and considering various options), I used the rule of the thumb that 1W continuous costs $2/yr, which was more than close enough mathematically, surely made the math easier to do in my head, and was in the units of the actual tradeoff that I was making (buy an efficiency improvement for $Y, save $Z/yr).
Instant reaction to headline:

For the actual intended purposes - minimizing corporate legal liability and performative virtue-signaling - it works wonderfully. And, these days, the whole subject is a third rail. Nobody who wants to stay in management goes near a third rail that ain't broke.
So why are online gov services still so much better in the uk then in Germany?
I think it's okay. Japanese names written in latin alphabet is just the trade name anyway, a transcription. "The real" name, subjectively, is always in Japanese.
Going to reply to myself here to say that it does seem like there is definitely information from December/November 2021 available, like clear-cut facts.

I'm just curious why OpenAI didn't make an announcement or what's the deal here, wouldn't this warrant retraining the entire model?
Hello HN!

I'm excited to share a project that we've been passionately working on at Plerdy: The AI UX Assistant. We've designed this tool to leverage AI, offering in-depth UX reports and targeted CRO advice. Our aim is to redefine how businesses interact with and improve their website's user experience and conversion optimization.

We've just launched on Product Hunt and would love the HN community's feedback.

Looking forward to the discussions and insights from this knowledgeable community!

Terrible software can be coded in any language.
Perhaps read the Terms of Service?
Who do you mean by “we” when suggesting stricter standards? How does that work? Nationalize Google?

No one forces me or Russell Brand to watch or post on YouTube. I don’t have social media accounts because I don’t want to give up my privacy or get subjected to their whims. Russell Brand made different choices.
Instead of wrapping the application with something like Electron, why not install as a service and connect to a localhost port using your default browser?

I know this is not the same UX as installing an app. But why isn't this technique more standard?

Besides more efficient resource usage, another benefit is that it keeps the client/server architecture.
RamenHaus
Except they bought Bethesda just to make their games exclusive to Xbox/PC
Websites have a code size restriction? What is it?
It was indeed literally created as a model of a terrible dynamic. The intended result was to come out of the game thinking "this was terrible, we should never get close to anything like this again"
Here is a list of associate members, https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs... which also lays out some of the terms.

If you scroll down there's a list of countries which can participate and who are automatically eligible to apply for funding too. So the EU, at least bits of it, despite all the talk of gardens and jungles, is still a force for good in the world.
I've been trying to get my paws on one of these for years, is there any way to get one without having to be a large research institution?
The author cites this to justify the need for Records:

> Most Java objects set every field to be private and make all fields accessible only through accessor methods for reading and writing.

> Unfortunately, there are no language enforced conventions for defining accessors; you could give the getter for foo the name getBar, and it’ll still work fine, except for the fact that it would confuse anybody trying to access bar and not `foo'.

Scala supports pattern matching on objects implementing the `unapply` method.

Is this considered harmful? Why didn’t Java follow this route?
What's you is new again
In a way it's "too late".

When you exercise power, make demands, tell everyone what they 'have'
to do, it changes the dynamic permanently.

Suddenly people are aware of that power, their own weakness and
dependency. The threat that you may do it again, any time, looms over
the future.

It's good that every now and again the corporate mask drops. That's
healthy for reminding people that companies aren't nice fluffy friends
doing business out of the goodness of their hearts. So people make
contingent arrangement, plan mitigations, and that boosts competition,
it's refreshing.

People were too comfortable with Unity.

Perhaps it would be good if Github (Microsoft) also dropped the mask a
bit more often, because there's a dangerous concentration of power and
dependency if ever there was one.
Kröller Müller is also not flooded with people. The world's top musea, like van Gogh and Musée d'Orsay are a victim of their own success.
To be fair, the offer to rejoin Horizon has been on the table to the UK for a long time now. The UK government have been the ones dragging their heels on actually doing the work to kick off that process. Scientists like Sir Paul Nurse have been very outspoken for several years about this. That's not to say there aren't failings in the EU, there definitely are, but this is heavily on the UK.
From the github: "Our design is a giant hash map. We have a single store consisting of a fixed number N of pages. Each page is of a fixed size (currently 4096 bytes to match a page of memory), and consists of a compressed list of items."
Something tells me the pilot did something stupid (read Ejected by mistake) and his wingman is covering for him (who by the way could have followed the jet and reported where it crashed). There is no reason for him not be able to fly what is arguably the most sophisticated jet on the planet in limp mode at least.
> No, they correctly predicted that the research funding was one of the things the government would kibosh with its "not paying the EU a penny" dick-waving, which is what happened.

this couldn't be more inaccurate

Boris Johnson negotiated as part of the brexit treaty to pay in, in the normal proportion

the EU even says as much on its FAQ page
I think the FSFE (Europe) is doing a lot better than its American sister foundation, with active involvement in EU politics, running campaigns, etc.

Individual GNU projects are doing fairly well on the technical side (toolchain, Emacs, Guix, Mes), but there is little to no coordination across GNU, much less with the FSFs.

FSF Asia seems to have fallen off the earth, even though India appears to have a fairly active free software movement.

I don't think rewrite in Rust is a solution to "modernize" GNU tools. Maybe another memory safe language, but Rust has severe bootstrapping issues which is a hard sell for distros that care about source to binary transparency.
They are certainly reversing momentum and reclaiming taken territory. By this time next year I would bet they are “winning”
I would explain it in a way that electron has API and access to stuff that a browser should not/does not/never will have.

Browser should be much more sand boxed and never have access to the file system with privileges of a user running browser.

Yes, someone can install malicious electron app but that is totally different than randomly stumbling upon malicious website while browsing/clicking around.
I strongly doubt that
Yes, but the deal is not really as a clean-slate external member just joined. Of course there are many pending issues from the past, as it would be expected, many long term investment and commitment were made and then one could colorfully say "the UK took the money and run" ( I know it's much more complicated than that ), and this deal kinda addresses that.

I'm not against this particular deal, in fact I'm moderately in favor. However IMO these kinds of 100 separate deals so the UK can get the "goods" while still being out are not good in the long run. ( the UK always had kind of a special deal since the 60s, but there is so much bad blood and misinformation it's pointless to acknowledge that )
I barely even remember the non-gimmicky Opera. Seems like forever ago, they added a Bittorrent client to Opera, and I thought it was so incredibly dumb.
gov.uk is largely in-house.
> listening to whoever spoke louder

The original 51% attack
it is slow.. damn slow all over the world.. nothing to do with you.
I just tried, and it says "Sorry, I can't summarize YouTube videos yet."
No disagreement on rules, but I don't see that as particular exclusionary in the sense that whenever people cooperate they do that under some set of rules anyway.

EU might have geopolitical aims, but not much capability, so I see Horizon as not very strong in that area, if at all.
>This whole brexit thing happened by ignoring researchers and listening to whoever spoke louder :)

When it goes the way someone wants they call that "democracy" ;)
A method come from the sale of vacant lots (the land value is the sale price) or of buildings that are immediately demolished (the land value is the sale price minus demolition cost).

Apparently even in dense cities a majority of land sales are like this.
Indeed. Americans tend to believe that the entirely arbitrary value of 18 set forth by many, but not all, states for the age of consent is somehow also a fundamental ethical principle.
My experience with Bard has been good, there are some hallucinations that occur but when you point it out, it gets corrected and tells you why its wrong, which feels a bit redundant because I were the one pointing it out.

Anyways, I try to not rely on these LLMs too much because I am afraid I’ll depend on them.
MS pretty much merged Xbox and PC which is what the comment above you probably meant.

From MSs perspective Xbox is just a lockdown gaming PC tied to their store
Most of us can lose our jobs and livelihood for a lot less. Brand will do alright unless he gets convicted.

Rule of law means the laws apply to everyone the same. It doesn’t mean private companies have to follow legal rules of evidence and procedure. Companies terminate accounts on the “basis” they can — in this case for violating terms of service. Celebrity or not, YouTube can kick people off when they have credible allegations of serious misconduct.

>Web Apps Are Better Than No Apps

Yes. Just like stale bread is preferrable to dying of starvation.
afaik thats already the case for most of the newer features. Not sure if you can nowadays install WSL from the Store (which AFAIK is the version that still gets updates) in Win10, but nearly all new features (including GUI support, systemd support, etc) are only supported in the Win11 version.

Sadly so, I'd like to use more of that on my Win10 work device, but not willing to move to 11 for just that.
omg indeed. Are those pillow 'handles' suppose to work as handcuffs?
That's exactly why you want to roll out a digitalisation plan and not throw billion of euros of tax payers money away
Love it when the hn title rewriter accidentally gets it right :D
Ideally C++ would tell people you can't do that and make it a compiler error ("Ill-formed") but my guess is that too many people insist they ought to be able to take arbitrary C++ 23 code, recompile it with C++ 26 and have that just always work even though the standard doesn't deliver that and so it won't happen.

P2723 is unlikely to happen. The "Erroneous behaviour" P2795 might have a better chance. This would say it's wrong to do uninitialized reads (whereas P2723 says they are initialized to zero and thus it's not wrong) but you always get zero anyway.

I think there's a fair chance WG21 manages to make everybody unhappy by kicking this can into the long grass as they have on many other controversial issues.

Zero is the wrong default, it's better than UB, but it's not good. This is actually a problem in languages like Go where zero defaults are core to the language design. The correct thing is that "I didn't initialize it" won't compile. Force the programmer to write what they meant, sometimes they meant zero, or None, or 0.0 or whatever, but surprisingly often when confronted with the question the programmer realises their design is wrong and needs a design level change.
Why would you want control? That means more bureaucracy you need to do yourself.

In the UK (and I believe everywhere with a well functioning research culture), the 'Haldane principle' means that research funding is decided by researchers (not politicians / the civil service). https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200809/cmselect/cmdi...

Funding UK science via the ERC, means you are making use of the network effects for peer review & processes. So the individual funding applications are being reviewed to a higher standard, and better decisions are made about what science to fund.
> Is it not possible in game development to also structure your architecture that way ? Is the extra work not justified if you have deadlines ? Or is there just a lack of common interfaces that can serve as proper abstraction ?

The simple answer is:

Yes, you 100% can, if you code it like that from the very begninning.

No, most people don't, because most game engines are not desiged for this so it's extra man-hours with no visible value.
Are you equally eager to invest your life savings in a 2053 NYC bond under both of the following scenarios:

1. NYC funding sources will remain as they are today, or

2. NYC will transition entirely by 2038 to a land value tax?

To the extent and for the entirely rational reasons that you prefer #1, that's the negative to NYC bondholders.

> surely the pension holders would be fine, since those obligations will be funded from investments NYC has made

Assuming the pension was funded to 100% of projected obligations, this would be true. That is not the case; it's around 4/5ths funded.
You could look at https://www.home-assistant.io or if you're in the Apple ecosystem you could use the Home app which apparently can talk to Hue (for now).

>I've always wondered what kind of apps these are. The vast majority of web apps I use are all CRUD.

This page has a list of examples: https://madewithwebassembly.com/

Many apps that are not CRUD need more efficient cpu performance of WASM... physics rendering engines, AutoCAD modeling, machine learning, etc.
I suspect the only way we'll get back in is by very laboriously arguing for each piece separately, to keep it "below the radar" of newspaper attacks. Next is probably EFTA, like Norway. We could even have a special carveout for fish like Norway.
Sounds great. +2 from me.
Average Age of Spontaneous Reading in Unschooled Children 9 Years Old
>For a web app the speed of the language is rarely the bottleneck anyway, other than some exception cases like WebGL-type stuff.

If we're talking about a glorified form/CRUD app, no.

For web apps proper, that's not really the case.
The missing feature is cgroups. If they had that, it would be nirvana. Right now there is no nirvana but Windows has the edge (for me) because they’ve implemented a much smoother vm experience with wsl2.
I have opinions about the over-use of italics.
I’m glad that the free software movement existed for so long and achieved a lot, giving me the opportunity to reap the benefits of their work.

And that’s exactly what disappoints me: everyone can benefit without giving anything in return. FSF didn’t find an approach to software freedom that incentivises participants to contribute. FOSS is not a business model, so we see what we see: https://xkcd.com/2347/

I believe there is a need to adopt more semi-free source-available licenses that will force corporations to finance the projects they rely upon, while granting the expected freedoms to individual users, tinkerers and contributors.
"Purely conjecture, but somehow I suspect that private equity has crunched the numbers and decided it's time to milk this one dry."

They are a public company at this point. Not a fan of PE but no need to blame them for everything.
Show HN: NotionApps – Build portals and forms from Notion databases, with nocode
Sameer and Jatin here. We are building NotionApps, a no-code tool to create apps, portals, & forms from Notion databases. With the tool, you can:
- restrict your data behind an email auth
- show only limited data based on logged-in user
- share Notion data outside of your organization without adding people to your workspace
- handle large databases with ease
- create mobile friendly apps to interact with your data

Users have been creating apps for their events, inventory, catalogues, businesses, etc. with all the data on Notion.

Late in 2019, we built a product called utilize.app (it's still functional). It's a no-code tool to create apps from spreadsheets. But, with the market getting crowded (hello, Glide and Softr!), we struggled to grow. In late 2022 (I know it was a little too late), we decided to pivot to NotionApps. We love Notion and wanted to build something for the ecosystem using our existing learnings. The response so far has been great. As we gear up for our Product Hunt launch, I would love for you to try out NotionApps. It is truly a labour of love. We love Notion and no-code. I hope you like what we have built.
Scaling up a new TSMC node (only the iPhone 15 has this tech) is at least $10B alone. They spend $30B on capital per year.
Will this always be true though? Not even thinking about advancements in AI, but from a human body g-force standpoint, surely those jets can already pull way more Gs than the pilots can handle.

I doubt the software is doing that today but why couldn't there be maneuvers the plane could do at 15 Gs that would help it survive?

Figma is a good example. Likewise, many games. Google Sheets? GIS apps? Probably the next big things in both DAWs and video editing will be in the browser too…
Labour productivity has been developing faster than wages for the last 50 years. This is the same in most western countries, regardless of union influence. But: erosion of collective bargaining is positively correlated with higher income inequality an greater wealth inequality, also when disregarding the lowest quartile.

How do you mean that there has been a decline in market liberalism? I am pretty sure that the US market especially could need both one and two regulation pushes with regards to reigning in the influence of huge corporations and strengthening labour rights.

I think blaming unions for brain-dead housing policies is disingenuous. What needs to be done is government programmes for increased building, just like last time a lot of houses were built (at least in my home country). Otherwise no new housing will be built that will lower the prices of the current market. I don't even understand how you believe the role of the unions can be so big.
not an expert:

I believe WSL2 set up networking almost as a virtual client on a network local to your machine. Windows used NAT to direct traffic from Windows to WSL. The new changes allow more direct access to the network hardware instead of "virtualizing" (probably the wrong word) it
This is just my gut feeling, but it smells like someone might be wanting to purge invalid Japanese names from an existing database of Asians, and it's not working out at all.
Cambridge University was actually founded by scholars who had left Oxford University because they apparently had a fight with local townsmen.
