I understood there is no difference between what the comment I replied to is describing and what its parent is, because of the (brought by others elsewhere in the thread) fungibility of money. Whether the artists get their cut directly, or just enjoy cheaper venues because Ticketmaster happens to be owned by the same party that owns the venue, that's literally the same benefit - just instead of being paid directly, the artists get their expenses covered. That's my understanding of what's going on with plenty of those deals.
My biggest problem in editing on mobile is changing a text selection (for example a long URL or long text paragraphs) that don't fit on screen at once.

Once I have to scroll (vertically or, even worse, horizontally) in addition to moving the selection handles the UX is just terrible.

Personally I wouldn't make one part of the name linked to the underlying development language, we make software for the users, and the source is often not part of something users have to deal with. Just as is sounds good in my opinion.
Tl:DR: there are many different ways to send file paths to system library functions. That's mostly because of Windows' long legacy support history. Don't worry about it - just pick one and go.
Since the fee will no longer be applied retroactively (only if you update to the 2024 version) I don’t really see how could anyone challenge this in court.
This doesn’t seem like a real fix for the issue. This brings the number of spoofable sites way down from all MC users to just those who send mail through CF. But it is still a big vulnerability.

For any domain that is using mailchannels through cloudflare, you can see what region they are using. And you can continue to spoof them. You just have to do it from the same region.

And this is terrible positioning from Cloudflare’s POV. Why would anyone send email through a CF worker since it requires advertising through a public record (DNS) that is by design accessible/scrapable by bots that you are using an insecure service. It’s like asking people to spoof you.

I don’t get why CF doesn’t do something more sensible, like limit sender addresses to domains that are already set up in the cloudflare account where the worker was created. Basically every other provider does this.

> The economies of scale of the software industry allows excess central bank printed money to flow predominantly towards software companies and VC backed mega startups

This is not why.

It's because of profit margins.

The Income per Employee at Applied Materials is ~$190-200k in FY24, but was traditionally around $60-100k in the 2010s [0]

The Income per Employee at Google is ~$390-428K in FY24. In the 2010s it was around $200-350k. [1]

Both AMAT and GOOG are blue chips in their categories, yet a software driven company like GOOG has more money to spread to employees simply because the margins are much higher than in Hardware companies.

A company like AMAT needs to invest massively in lab space, commodities, manufacturing space, real estate, and machinery, which takes a massive dent out of your margins. Most spending in tech on the other hand can go directly to employees and marketing, as the only major cost outlay is compute, which itself is increasingly being offloaded to cloud providers at companies this size because F1000s can get sweetheart deals with competitive pricing (cheaper than DCs) because they are strategic enough accounts.

The only Hardware companies that can succeed in this kind of market tend to be Taiwanese, Korean, and Japanese because the conversion rates are EXTREMELY competitive. A company like TSMC, TEL, Canon, etc can earn in dollars but pay Asian market rate salaries in Yen/NTD/Won. With salaries at those companies being around $40-70k in Taiwan/SK/Japan, this means you are able to almost double your net income simply by having lower employee salaries. On top of that, all those Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese companies got govt support and backing, which wasn't vogue in the US until recently. Btw, the low salaries in TW/SK/JP were a major reason engineers from there defected to PRC companies, who gladly payed US market rate salaries with 0% income tax, given mansions, companies cars, etc.

Also, VC doesn't invest in public markets - that's an Investment Banking function. VC only prioritizes Software and Pharmaceticals because of the profit margins issue above. Now that the CHIPS act was passed, over the next few years we'll see better health for the Hardware industry within the US because now they have support that is comparable to what the Pharma industry (a similarly expensive industry from a cost outlay perspective) gets.

No, you won't deal with that. Because 'your' email address would be no longer yours and there would be nothing you can do at that point, including reading your past emails.
Read a book is not a very helpful response in a discussion. Why do you not just state your position or point out a concrete flaw in mine or a disagreement with it? Until now you have not actually said anything substantial. Do you think the system is working well if 90 percent of your revenue is profit? Do you think competitive markets are not an important part of a capitalistic system? Do you want to say that zero profits only holds in equilibrium?

Imagine we are half way through sending a frame to the display.

The cursor is in the bottom half of the screen.

If I move the cursor, that should be represented in the frame that's being currently outputted, not the next frame.

Wayland has no support for that, by design.

The end result is that there is always a delay of at least one Frame.
I believe it’s a good thing if the HN crowd steps out of their bubble and inform themselves a bit more on topics of capitalism, socialism and communism.

I feel more and more that those in power - the capitalists - have done a tremendous job of conditioning us from birth in the last 100+ years that capitalism is “the only way”.

Yet if you read a book like “Debt: the first 5000 years” by David Graeber, it put things into perspective. And there is so much more to read.

A heuristic I often apply (to lots of things) is 'would my Mum... <understand...?> <be able to do...?> <notice...?> <care?>' - as my Mum is reasonably smart and capable, but not at all embedded in any of the technical worlds that I am.

e.g.

- if my Mum could understand my presentation, then I've found a good level for non-specialists to also understand it quickly

To apply it in this case, would my Mum notice or care about the difference between a 60Hz and 120Hz phone screen? I'm pretty sure not, and therefore I'd extrapolate that a vast majority of Apple's userbase wouldn't either.
Honestly? On the remotely unlikely event that I have an opportunity to switch on the high idle switch if some extinction folks block the road on the way back from soccer practice two miles away.

Filesystems get modified by third parties.

Also the right way to implement filesystems and drivers in modern OSes should be in userspace drivers, which is the route being taken by Apple, Google and Microsoft across their OSes anyway.
> Good. I'm all for such laws. Soya "milk" isn't "milk" as the term has been culturally understood for millennia.

TLDR; You have it upside down. Any white liquid would usually be called "X milk" or "milk of X". In English and other languages. Provably so since centuries (see below).

Quoting from [1]: "Recipes from the 13th-century Levant exist describing almond milk Soy was a plant milk used in China during the 14th century. In Medieval England, almond milk was used in dishes such as ris alkere (a type of rice pudding)"

When humans discover something their language doesn't have word for, a common pattern is to use an existing word for something you know that looks/behaves/tastes similar and alter it to make the distinction clear.

In the case at hand the distinction is made by the prefixed noun. "Coconut milk" was used in the English language for yonx (1698)[2]. As was "almond milk" (14th century)[3].

Millennia? My brother is a linguist. Mainly Sanskrit, Latin, ancient Greek. He said he was really, really curious how you would back up this "[...] since millennia" statement.

The chatty style (tourist journalism?) of the article detracts from the proposition that readers want to understand.

FTFA: "We’re now in servitude, Varoufakis argues, to the fiefdoms of our new global masters, Lord Zuckerberg of Facelandia and Sir Musk of the rotten borough of X."

tl;dr The working people live as interest serfs in an economy that has become impossible to afford for many. Meanwhile, enormously wealthy people have unchecked power over politics, technology, and public policy. These wealthy people can alter the workforce and fund movements according to their unrestrained and unscrupulous caprices.

Public policy in the US is in tatters (and is under heavy strain elsewhere), affordable lodging is a quaint hypothesis, and the current middle class cohort (i.e. anyone with what used to be a good salary) is trying to characterise its debt despair as temporary embarrassment.
If you care for such things, you can use the Bus Pirate to see the speed of your code ..

I'd rather agree with GP. There aren't baked rice cake with soy milk icing, most milk in that list are "milk" as the closest understandable description and not by exchange-ability.
Yeah, I suppose that’s true, but also Major Band is up against the same near-monopoly because there aren’t many promoters bidding for their shows. When you get to the level where you can sell out 20,000 seats, over 2/3 of the promotion is exclusively LiveNation.

I guess that’s technically a near -monopsony. Bands would probably argue they’d make more if promotion was itself a functioning market.
No. Because the API is fragmented into old, not-so-old and new parts, some higher-, some lower-level[0]. You need things from all of them, the new API isn't complete enough and has warts in places where using one of the older ones is better/easier/safer. So in the end you will have to use all the ways, and know when to use which one.

All this can of course be fixed with another layer of indirection. But if you ever wanted to know why Windows file APIs and filesystems are so dog-slow, here is (part of) your answer.

[0] e.g. there are lower level APIs that can create and access files and filenames that higher level APIs will filter out or disallow.
I was slightly surprised by the author’s example experiments. Deleting x from the middle of a word does not sound like a common editing task to me and I think it would be much more common to just select the whole word and retype it. If that means the UI is more optimised for other interactions than deleting letters from the middle of words, I think that’s fine. It seems pretty important to have the tests be realistic or their results won’t relate much to the real world.

It is possible to connect a keyboard to a phone though obviously this is a bit silly. But it does seem obvious that people don’t care that much about the text-editing experience. And iPhones tried being better at text editing and apple dropped those changes, so it does seem they at least didn’t feel the change was worth it:

- you used to be able to select a word and pressing shift would toggle the suggested correction between regular, capitalised, and uppercase. That feature was dropped

- with the pressure-sensitivity feature, you could press on the keyboard to turn it into a kind of touch-pad for moving the cursor, this meant your finger didn’t get in the way of the text so you could see where the cursor was going. You could press harder to begin a word-by-word selection then move to select more or press harder to upgrade to sentence/paragraph selection. Apple got rid of the pressure-sensitive screens in newer phones and give them a long-press space bar gesture, but this doesn’t allow for selection (as far as I know) and makes it hard to move the cursor down.
It is USB 2.0 because the iPhone uses the previous generation A16 SOC which was designed around the Lightning port.

It's not a scam just one of the many side effects that inevitably occur when doing a major connector transition.
You’d think people carried around half a dozen devices and charging cables were like hose pipes the way people complain about carrying them. An extra cable in a bag is not a real problem anyone really has. I’m guessing 99% of people charge their phone at night and that charger rarely moves from its position.
I know a bunch of people who are very excited about AI and using it in a professional context.

Yeah, I tend to agree. Next year I'm moving away from Estonia, to Finland, precisely because at least there the government still cares to a point about healthcare whereas here they have entirely given up, defund it on a regular basis, and gatekeep access to specialists via family doctors who don't allow you to go anywhere and instead of any tests give you pills. All sorts of pills. Knee pain? Antidepressants on a Tuesday, ibuprofen on a Wednesday. People don't get help, just suppressing of symptoms (in the best case) and told to go die somewhere (in the worst case).

And that would be fine and all, and I wouldn't even care, if I didn't have to pay half my salary to taxes. If I could choose to not pay healthcare tax, I could use that money to get a very, very nice private healthcare insurance instead. But I'm not allowed to choose here.

> I think that new software bloat far outweighs the benefits brought in by new hardware as well.

While software bloat is undeniably a problem, in my experience it's not that clear-cut.

E.g., a messanger app built on Elector is a pure bloat. At least, from technical perspective -- maybe Electron brings in business value that outweighs the technical downsides.

But an IDE from around 2005 is nothing more than a dumb notepad in comparison to a modern JetBrains IDE. Even though I often find their IDEs extremely frustrating in terms of consumed computational resources, I'd rather upgrade my hardware than go back to something less "smart". After all, hardware is just a means to an end of solving whatever task at hand.

My takeaway is tacit irritation at the size of the screen. If it were larger then it would be easier to position a cursor and edit a word. With a keyboard and mouse, of course, it would be very easy. Our fingers are pretty large compared to smartphone screens, and regrettably that can only be helped with a stylus you'll lose.

Unfortunately they are still rather pricey compared to meat, even organic meat from the supermarket. Whether this is because of the small scale of production or because the target group can and will pay a Premium I can't say.

The President should not take sides in labor disputes -- it's for the workers and employers to come to an agreement. A prolonged auto strike would tank the economy, and Biden may be hurting his re-election prospects by encouraging the unions to make unrealistic demands.

Quoting a recent article https://reason.com/2023/09/20/biden-the-most-pro-union-presi...

'Worse for the Biden administration, even as it portrays itself as pro-union, it also paints itself green. That includes promoting electric vehicles and committing to end the federal government's purchase of cars with internal combustion engines by 2035. That poses big problems for the labor part of organized labor.

"The talks are about more than pay," Jack Ewing noted for The New York Times. "Workers are trying to defend jobs as manufacturing shifts from internal combustion engines to batteries. Because they have fewer parts, electric cars can be made with fewer workers than gasoline vehicles."

"The president is in a really tough position," Erik Gordon, a professor at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business, told Fortune. "What he needs to be the most pro-labor president ever and the greenest president ever is a magic wand."'
Such an obvious solution when you point it out that way. Thank you!
Artists don’t pay for venues, promoters do, so they’re not cheaper, but your point that Ticketmaster has more revenue (and thus more to pay the artist) so they may get paid more indirectly is valid. But also, Ticketmaster has a monopsony. Or nearly so. One might argue (and many artists have ) that the artists would get paid more if there were a market for their tour rather than one company owning the vast majority of large venues.

The only things I’m sure of are that A. consumers would benefit if there was an actual market and B. It is hard to imagine one happening without government intervention.
