The guy who said it meant it as a joke, because they turned up in so many areas of mathematics.

Things don't really turn up, though. We use to say, say, that "addition is a group over the integers", but really what we mean is "we are allowed to see addition as a group over the integers, because it obeys the rules we've made for that abstraction".

There are many other fruitful abstractions, and even more not-so fruitful abstractions, that we can use as a lens to view things through.

And conversely, you don't have to view addition as a group over the integers if all you're doing is counting apples. Talk about overkill.

Modular forms are a fruitful lens to view many things through, apparently. Though, from the number of very educated people in the thread who have never really learned about or used them, they're apparently not so commonly useful as to get trivial. It's a niche abstraction, which has been used to get a grip on some problems where nothing else has worked - famously, Fermat's last theorem. Not what mathematicians reach for in everyday matters, but with a big wow factor when someone successfully does so.
Chrome Remote Desktop has worked for me in the past. Not very ergonomic on the phone, though.

An interesting point is that the NHS has to deal with many languages and people that don't have English as a first language. That's another reason for being very explicit.
Use a vnc client on your android device and setup a virtual monitor on your desktop that is really a vnc server.

I know how to do that with Sway and swayvnc on wayland, as well as with xorg.

This is particularly helpful to people using asahi linux and wanting to connect an external monitor. That can be done with something as simple as a raspberry pi.

> Everything is always on. Power consumption is constant. No CPU slowdowns, no sleep modes, no battery saving. This is just fine when you're running a rolling mill, and 99+% of the power is driving the heavy equipment. Not so good when you're running a credit card terminal. Battery powered devices cannot run well in this mode.

Is there no possibility for compromise here?

A credit card terminal sits idle 99%+ of the time, does little actual work, and whatever work it actually does, it's in a reaction to an input event (such as user pressing a button, or a command being sent from cash register). CPU power states are, to my understanding, something you can switch between many times in a fraction of a second. Outside of talking to the network, duration of which is by nature unpredictable, everything else falls into two modes - "slow mode" for listening to events (and perhaps doing whatever is needed to keep the network connection alive), and "fast mode" for processing those events. Sounds to me you could put a real-time guarantee on everything except the networking parts, and keep the CPU slow/sleeping for most of the time.
Things like this can be highly family-specific. A friend of mine (German) says that in his family, his grandmothers are distinguished as "Oma" and "Omi". Which are both generic German words for any grandmother, but in his family, they are more specific. Like names. Another friend, they used "Oma" and "Großmutter" (a third generic word) to distinguish the two.

So there must certainly be families in the English-speaking world where kids commonly say "dad's dad" and "mom's dad". Even when unlike in Scandinavian languages, it's not the canonical form.
How accurate? I think a Tile (tile.com) and signal strength (maybe it is hackable to get more than a single word that the app says for example “strong”) might give a rough guide. As a bonus you can make the marker ring if you lose it ;-)
AWS has a way to go with their IPV6 services, but IPV6-only is very doable right now in EC2.

I have a WireGuard server that was dual-stack. I turned off IPV4 to see what would happen, and it kept chugging along very nicely.

Swift uses reference counting, because it interoperates with the Objective-C runtime, duh.

.NET interop with COM is a good example of how mixing a tracing GC with a reference counted runtime requires an higher engineering budget that Swift team most likely wasn't willing to spend resources on.

It has been proven multiple times that reference counting is slower and has performance issues when dealing with large graphs, and also stop-the-world issues when cascade deletions occur.

If only pro-RC folks would bother to read CS papers and benchmarks.

Well, I still remember times when 50% of google results weren’t ads.

They have a pathological fear of government overreach. An identity card issued by the government would lead to a slippery slope of something, not sure what. HN is fertile ground for such paranoia, so no doubt someone will explain exactly what will happen if all US residents received a free identification card.

Anyway, they get around this by using their Social Security Numbers everywhere. All residents have one. They use this in a novel way, where it’s both a username and a password, that you share with every corporation who asks. You’re supposed to keep it very secret because people can open financial accounts in your name with this number. But not that secret. Your utility company may ask for it and won’t provide service without it.

Since it’s both a username and password, it’s stored very securely. Except when it isn’t, breaches happen, and people have no recourse. It’s immutable, so they can’t do anything other than say “don’t process any credit checks for me” and hope that works.

Anyway, that’s the short version of why Americans are terrified of being assigned an ID, actually have an ID (SSN), but can’t use that ID because it’s super secret, but then use it everywhere anyway because they have no choice.

Or maybe they are sick of having approached Canada earlier in history and being told to fuck off back then.

So now that the shoe is on the other foot, they just want to treat the Canadians the same way.

From the Indian perspective, Trudeau is basically in bed with the Khalistanis and relies on them for votes and money. Nothing explains people like Nijjar, a guy with minimal life skills, getting a citizenship after having his application rejected twice on grounds for fraud. Just this week there have been reports on a Canadian citizen, from Canada, claiming responsibility for the killing of a local legislator in Punjab for personal vendetta.

And now we are hearing Modi tried to reach out to some separatist factions back in 2015 but his efforts were torpedoed by the Trudeau government who were under pressure from a rival Khalistani faction.

Maybe that's why the Government of India is just saying FU to Canada.
Congrats on the launch. I’m currently starting my own startup, so I can give you my impressions as a potential customer.

Contact-based pricing is bad. You’re trying to create an email platform for SaaS, from the features perspective (yey!) but you’re charging just as mailchimp and everybody else does (nah!).

Instead, as a founder, I’d rather prefer “active user”. If someone tries my product, but they never return, I don’t want to be charged for. So, in any given month, count how many people I have emailed (during that period), and that counts as pricing.

Just my 2c. Good luck!
It would really help if there were real ISP competition in the USA. There's only one actually broadband ISP provider where I rent, which is in the suburbs near Seattle. It's NOT a rural area by any definition, and yet Comcast is my only option. Their price and service reflect that reality...
I have hundreds of virtual credit cards that are all merchant linked. So, now I know that I shouldn't be trying to store any of those in my Apple wallet.
> Everything is always on. Power consumption is constant.

That was the case in ye olden days of single-core CPUs, but is it still true today?

I can easily imagine a computer that has one always-on core for kernel chores and hardware management, and a dozen dormant cores that wake up when userland tasks need those cycles, all running in hard real time. Or even better, a mix of real-time for UI & audio on some cores + non-time-bound jobs on others.
Windows Phone 7 fixed this in a way - it had a UI thread that could not be used for anything but UI updates. Your event handlers would be executed on a different thread. As long as you showed the loader, the rest of the app would work perfectly smooth.

It's been few years since then so I am light on details.

Also, as much as devs hate javascript, it mostly solves this by having 1 thread and offloading all system calls to another via callbacks? So the solution to your issue is: Use electron. (Just kidding, but there is some truth in it)

Google maps being wrong is not a danger, it is an inconvenience. Drivers are responsible for their own driving, no map app is perfect. It is completely unreasonable to assume or expect that Google Maps routes are always correct and safe.
It's not and never was. In 2008 it even got raised from a civil to a criminal offense. It's a common misconception because it is more lucrative to go after people that also upload/publish due to higher possible damages.
That sounds low even for a regular cybersecurity expert job. Hardly an emergency rate.
I seems I am a bit daft for not finding that; thank you.

Anyone knows why the API would be so much more expensive? With Google I can understand because with the API you miss a lot of the tracking, targeting and advertising, but if you don't have any of that, why would it cost so much more than normal searching?

I understand unlimited is off the table for an API, but 1000 for $25 is quite a bit.
Because a savy developer will validate their schema when sorting out merge conflicts across the whole configuration, instead of commiting a badly merged file that will fail starting up the Kubernetes cluster in the sea of YAML files.
I'm not used to this kind of negativity on HN about browsers and the open web. I think it's a very worthwhile endeavor, whether he succeeds or not. If the result is only half a browser that is not incentivized by big tech, than it can be useful for the moment my reliance on Firefox has to stop. I hope it doesn't get there because I like my Firefox very much, but I came to realize that my browser is a sort of bottleneck for me accessing the web. There are always other websites I can go to for the same content, there's also always another computer brand that I can use, but it's always Firefox in the middle. I know there are other browsers, but they always seem to be based on Googlium or whatever the name is today.

So I wish him luck and hope he succeeds. (RSS feed followed, so I can take a look at his project now and then)
I’m very glad there’s a market for paid premium search engines and based on the comments here Kagi is doing fantastic.

However I experimented last week by running all my searches (work and personal) in DDG (my default) and then also in Kagi. And basically they either both had the best result first, or sometimes second or third. Definitely not a $10/month difference for me.
Postel's law is for implementations of underspecified standards and for backwards compatibility, the problem is the misguided attempts to somehow use it in new standards.
It seems obviously against AWS incentives to offer working v6 - all their influencing tools ("well architected" criteria, certificates) strongly herd you towards building mazes of ambigously addressed 10.x RFC1918 networks, and not internet style architectures with end-to-end addressing.

In the world of their recommendations, even the concept of a "public ip address" is a red flag, and AWS even recommends (for an added cost of course) tooling to flag and "mitigate" them. These provide a strong lock-in effect when customers spend effort to build the complex infrastructure for them in the name of security, even though in reality they hurt security through unnecessary complexity, addressing ambiguity, etc.
You basically always have to have a compiler that's 1 release
old or otherwise you cannot compile new Rust software like the
very widely used time crate.

That's an interesting example as the time crate stagnated for quite a while and even the current version only requires Rust 1.67 or newer. The current Rust version is 1.72.
With respect, you left out the next paragraph from your quote, which shows that in the case of airlines, it would indeed be unlawful:

> However, there is no possible justification for differences in access to goods or services for customers from different EU countries in the following three situations:

> sale of goods without physical delivery – for example, if you buy something online that you will collect from a shop, rather than have it delivered to your home

> sale of electronically supplied services (excluding copyright protected content) – such as cloud computing services, or website hosting

> sale of services provided in a specific location – for example hotel bookings, car hire, tickets for entry to theme parks
That's why I proposed reduced searches per month.

To put things into perspective:

- YouTube premium is $1.30/month

- Amazon Prime is $1.50/month ($0.75 if you are <25)

- Spotify premium is $1.44/month

- Netflix (1080p, no-ads, 2 devices) is $6/month

$5 is decent home-cooked lunch for eight days in India.

Maybe Kagi's target customer base isn't India, and that's okay. But to do business in India, a company has to do, what I call- "India pricing". Maybe there are better terms for it.
No it's not specifically about what you're talking about. People are literally being delusional here. There's a ton science behind this phenomenon. You can listen to that podcast it's quite interesting.

Basically they can do quantitative experiments where they have groups of people rate others about how attractive they are 1-10 and through this gather an average rating about someones attractiveness.

Then they have those people who were rated, rate themselves. Of course they also measure for happiness too. Turns out the less happy you are, the more accurately you rated yourself in turns of attractiveness.

What I described is just one experiment out of many trying to measure this phenomenon of self deception. It is completely consistent in most experiments. Almost every single one results in a positive correlation between happiness and self-deception.
What an interesting article. For me I can relate to the central tenet of trying to exert control over the level and kind of content I consume on a daily basis. I’m sure that will help mental health.

The Twitter clients of years past have shown how using filters and regexes, muting and blocking, it is somewhat possible to shape this content stream. Also I think local AI has some power to weed out content it can detect would negatively affect you.

I think though this would work well as a feed reader, the browser is simply too flexible as a source of input. Although it’s certainly worth trying, bravo!

I’ve experimented with a “feed of feeds” and receiving a daily digest of this and this could be the layer on top that it needs. But until this article I had not realised my motivation for it, so thanks author!
Sounds bad! Just intonation is probably the pleasing golden ratio(s) of sound.
For someone on Android - why do they have these constants at all? If people need to add metadata to remember who their contacts are, why not free text field?
I'm afraid that wouldn't be representative because being on a limit would change my searching behavior.

Not to mention the completely trash cyber risk ratings industry.

If you score poorly in because of their absurd scoring methods, it will potentially impact revenue streams if you have to deal with vendor risk departments, etc who don't understand any of the underlying mechanics

I understand your point and I do not disagree.

What I meant is that sushi is still something that we consider a Japanese thing, we know that masters of sushi are Japanese, Jiro being famous only reinforced that notion.

On the other hand Studio Ghibli forced the western industry of animation to recognize their greateness, we awarded them prizes, and now in the west we make products that look and feel like anime and manga. We do not think of Japanese animation of "something for kids", we treat them like Disney.

Comic conventions are full of cosplayers dressed as manga/anime heroes.

Youngsters make meme based on manga, American studios make live actions and animation shows of anime and manga.

It's been a complete game changer, either we like it or not.
> Half[1] of English is French, just like half[2] of Japanese is English/Portuguese.

Setting aside the difficulty of defending these breathtakingly inflated claims, your phrasing indicates the classic fallacy of defining a language just by its vocabulary. That possible were if, this sentence English in sense make would.
If anything pedantic.

I mean, if peer-reviewed psychology research is lacking behind in terms of statistical power and reproducibility, I can only imagine what flaws self-published research would have lol
True, but it is also one of the most commonly used functions for mobile map apps, and without that feature working reliably your app can never become someones primary map app. At best you can become a backup app for those times Google/Apple Maps doesn't work.
> If you are ever looking for someone to aspire to as a software engineer, you should aspire to be like Luiz.

This a million times.

I only interacted with Luiz a few times. They were eye-opening. He was so bright and, at the same time, so kind and supportive!

My team has improved some algorithms he and Jeff Dean popularized. When we presented to him, he asked us excellent questions. But, even though he was far up in our management chain,
we never felt attacked nor judged, rather supported and empowered. I told my friend that it felt almost like talking to my grandfather when I was a young boy.

I also really appreciate some of his documents. They dealt with fairly general/philosophical topics (on the nature of software). They were so succinct and yet ... so deep and far-reaching! They left a long-lasting effect on me.

I admired Luiz's ability to connect with others. He showed me how not all truly smart people need to make a display of it.

I'm truly sad he died. And just after Bram...
Pity, the world is prived from such wonder.
Outside of regulation, we also have the dumpster file called cyber risk ratings pulling more and more leverage in vendor risk assessments; good luck arguing with an enterprise vendor risk department why having 100 9.8 CVSS score vulnerabilities actually don't impact anything

It seems a lot of infosec folks have these shallow "X = bad" mappings in their brains. Like in that Caddy issue, "out of bounds read = bad" even though realistically you can't do anything bad with it.

I see similar thinking all the time with bug bounties at work. We had an XSS report once, but it was under an odd domain that doesn't host any authenticated resources. Yet "XSS = bad" so the report had a way higher urgency score than it should've. Sure we want to fix it - and we did - but it wasn't a credential-stealing nightmare scenario XSS.

Yes, you'd do something just like that. Document databases aren't relational databases. People need to think about solving the same problems a little differently. A lot of folks used to relational databases push for some perfect third normal form like disk space is still the major constraint in massive databases. For document databases, you design them based on how they are going to be used. Even if that means duplication of data like storing the lowercase version of something for indexing or rolling up your data into summary collections instead of performing those sorts of queries or collection aggregations on-demand.
