How is this productive at all? Or are they going for vote winning moves?
I think there could be, but it's ugly. The XStream library wasn't horrid, but it basically provides a way to serialize/deserialize from the java object defs, which is still a schema of sorts.

You know <key name="blah">key value</key>. It just highlights the extra verbiage, and pushes people towards "just use json/yaml".
Or better yet Customer.io.
> largely been eaten up by mobile phones these days

In the beginning of the pandemic, when I was stuck alone at home with not much to do, I picked up a couple original DS Lite consoles for cheap and a "New Nintendo 3DS XL" (confusing name for a console :p) for a good price as well. My intention was originally to try to make homebrew for the consoles. In the end I didn't get around to the homebrew stuff but I did play quite a few different games. Thanks in part due to the fact that in a nearby city someone had listed a bunch of DS and a few 3DS cartridges that they were straight up giving away. So with those along with the ones that I got with the consoles, I had like 15 to 20 different games for the consoles or thereabouts.

The majority of the play time for me was with the New 3DS XL, as it fit my hands and vision better than the small DS consoles.

There were several games that I enjoyed quite a lot.

And to me, I still think mobile phones don't quite live up to it for a few reasons.

I mean, yeah playing GTA III on the iPhone 14 Pro is a nice experience. I've completed GTA III start to finish both on iPhone 14 Pro, as well as on previous iPhone models in the past.

But in general I don't like playing games with touch screen controls as much as playing with physical buttons. And even though there exists bluetooth controllers you can pair with an iPhone, I had a terrible unusable experience with a tried that.

There are some other mobile games that are super nice, like for example Monument Valley.

But there is also a lot of ad-ridden garbage on mobile.

So my preference would for the most part still be to play more games on the New 3DS XL, rather than to play more games on mobile.

But ideally I want to buy something like one of these, and play emulated games:

- https://www.gpd.hk/gpdwin4

- https://store.ayaneo.com/goods/7849577742581

But I am still a bit undecided on which one of these to actually buy.

All I know is that I want something that

1. Runs linux (which one of them does, one of them does not mention, and one of them has in the works)

2. Emulates a bunch of different consoles

3. Comfortable to hold and use

4. Not too heavy

5. Has acceptable battery life between charging
Millions of people in the world are affected by this library, 10 times over for every devices and apps they use.

I'm sorry but I call for libraries used by millions around the world to NOT use C. And I love C... But this risk ratio is off the charts and they ought to not use C for such critical libraries.

Even as a C guru, you are going to make a mistake, at some point.

I think this is the fix https://github.com/webmproject/libwebp/commit/dce8397fec159c...

"malloc fail"? :facepalm: (oh yes, Slack, Discord, Teams, everything is affected, including all modern OS).
It's actually not asymmetric embeddings, but rather asymmetric searches. This is referring to the case where the query and documents being search against are not interchangeable. If the query and documents are interchangeable, then that's symmetric search.

It has implications for retrieval. There are embeddings models that are optimized for the symmetric search use case, and then there are models optimized for asymmetric search. You have to use the appropriate model for the task. Furthermore, you can use a LLM to transform your query into the same class as the docs being retrieved, to turn asymmetric search into symmetric search.
No wonder people move to the other side. It's just too difficult to cash out.

You and I seem similar in travel and Delta medallion status.

I'll enjoy my last year with GM in 2024 I guess.

Of the options I have for BOS <> SFO, Delta still probably has the best hard product offering there. But this is definitely changing my dogged loyalty. I'll be trying Alaska soon enough. Not sure I'll ever do United again...

I believe the founder, freediver.

In the case of Radio Shack, they too made a promise never to sell or give the data to other entities. The CEO even fought for that in bankruptcy court.

The judge deemed that the user data was worth a significant sum, and the judge screwed everyone over for the debtors.

Once you capture the data, it's a toxic but valuable asset. And there's always someone willing to go to any end and use it, regardless the promises. And it may full well be someone who has power over you, and you'd never know until it's too late.

(I've done my share of medical and sensitive queries. The really sensitive ones go through I2P or Tor in a VM. I'm not willing to give that knowledge to anyone.)
This is definitely one of the reasons Republicans have blocked funding for gun research.
I disagree with comments being distracting. You can overdo them, but one good comment - like "baz = 1 # the default is 1 instead of 0, because most real-world production servers foobars 1s into 7s" can save days of frustration.

In general, comments often add a very vaulable context to your code in a way that readaable function/variable names can't.
As someone of asian descent, I find it interesting how so many of these comments have such a stereotypical software engineer's "why don't they just XYZ" statement and its pretty eye opening.

I know I'm guilty of this at times too, but this example is really funny to me, and I guess I'll try rein in my assumptions that people are irrational in the future.
Would it have 16k or larger context ?

I'm curious: Why? Too much traffic? Does he have a beef with HN?
Right, half is not "pretty much". Its meaning is more like "mostly", that's why it fits the above. It's something like, that situation is common enough it should be your base assumption when talking theoreticals.

For example, if you have 9 boys and 1 girl in a room, and pick one at random, you're not guaranteed to get a boy, but you're pretty much guaranteed to get a boy. It's a wishy-washy way of saying the most likely outcome by a decent margin.

Hopefully it will be the default once implemented. Everyone will benefit from compact protocol in the long run. Should have been done from the very beginning.
All the more reason why this makes no sense, no? It should be as simple as handing the money over to an entity, they get the job done, and you both move on. No healthcare considerations, or sponsoring of visas, or anything else that a standard employer must do to an employee.
because it's like 3 syllables in the language instead of however many words that is.

Walkable cities + public transport. When I had a car it used to take me a minimum of 10 minutes to get anywhere. Cars have spaced out everything so far that over all we spend so much more time traveling. Now I live in a walkable area and almost everything I need is a few minutes away on foot, or a 20 minute train trip to the main city area.

Subject matter aside, this video is terrible. I understand they’re trying to mimic an Apple commercial but it’s so badly done and gives up after the initial reveal.

I’m sure it was an afternoon project for someone, but seriously, if they’re going for tongue in cheek and not amateur, they need to execute better than this.

I would have left already if something worthwhile appeared. Our mandates are more... suggestions, right now. Hybrid/flexible/not enforced.

I've been working remotely for years since before the pandemic. I'm not sure why this is being renegotiated, but I'm not interested.

My proximity to an office is happen-stance, my team is across the country.

Hybrid with flexible days is a silly compromise; you do the remote thing on-site or keep being remote
Excellent book. Sontag had me on the edge of my seat.
Rough edge apps have been around for years. I tried one that worked in the browser and could connect to OBS on your laptop, it was just too cumbersome though.

Apple actually did come up with a good solution for mounting the phone. A small disk that connects to the iphone with magsafe and has a flip out tab that can hook on to the top of the macbook. It's surprisingly stable and nice.

In the US, in every state that I'm familiar with, you can register/title/legally drive nearly any vehicle. There are some basic "road worthiness" conditions that have to be met, but they're usually simple and straight-forward, like "vehicle must have a rear view mirror". [1][2][3]

WhatsApp had a blip of popularity in the US back in 2013, but people moved over to iMessage, Facebook Messenger, and Snapchat in the years since. I mostly blame the design, since WhatsApp was quite hard to look at for years. I get the feeling that people in the US view WhatsApp as old technology. I still use WhatsApp occasionally to talk to friends from European countries, and especially if I'm on vacation somewhere in Europe. But then again, the same goes with WeChat and China. The feature set in all the messaging apps are comparable. You have to remember how large the market penetration is for iPhones in the US, so the default is iMessage (which falls back to SMS).
Who knows. Easiest explanation is they're doing the same thing that got them where they are now. Maybe it's some elaborate honey pot scheme.
These are great points! Thanks for the super thoughtful reply. I'm actually sold.

1. It's really nice that it's so easy to make a `createSignal`

2. I didn't realize that in Solid you had to update all the usage sites too, so now I'd rather stick to the Svelte usage. Nested reactivity is not as effortless as I thought in Solid.

get done() { return done },
set done(value) { done = value },
get text() { return text },
set text(value) { text = value }

Looks a bit boilerplate-y maybe, but keeping your preoptimized call sites is totally worth it.

This might be common enough that some syntax sugar might be worth it?

The short hand for:

todos = [...todos, {
get done() { return done },
set done(value) { done = value },
get text() { return text },
set text(value) { text = value }
}];

Could be:

todos = [...todos, {
$done,
$set
}];

The webcams are for videoconferencing. It’s pretty rare for videoconferencing to support better than 1080p30. Apple is not exactly shy about using mediocre parts when it won’t make a difference.

What surprised me was how long Apple was on 720p.
HN comments can be very negative, and he found himself adding a bunch of caveats and qualifiers to his writing to appease the critics, which he feels makes his writing worse.
But then MGM would have a contract with those agencies versus having the employees of those agencies apply as contractors to MGM directly, right?
See above. The Vox article made this seem like logic around the hypothesis is more faulty than it probably is, given other replies.

I understand my meaning might've confused HN commenters but I genuinely feel that the intent of my words in the initial comment is intuitive, and don't have time or bandwidth to argue about the semantics. I am sorry for the confusion. I obviously can't definitively prove it is faulty, and was merely trying (likely incorrectly so) to summarize the believed veracity of the hypothesis.
This is an interesting point that I hadn't thought of. A counterpoint would be that the economy has also grown more complex since then, but I don't think it has to the same extent that computational power has increased.

Wait, do different people use the cousin words differently or is this page flat-out wrong? And not just wrong, but wrong about the exact term under discussion.

This page says Táng vs. Biǎo is based on whether it's on your father's side or mother's side. But the whole point of the "or" in MothersSiblingsDaughterOrFathersSistersDaughter is that Táng is for the children of two male siblings, and Biǎo is for the children of any other gender pairing.

The only publicly posted price list that I know of is zerodium’s (evil people). http://zerodium.com/program.html They currently offer 2.5 million for an android zero click with persistence.

With tech trends, over the past 15 years, I was always on the ball 100% of the time until React came along. I started coding Flash/ActionScript games around 2004 (which is based on ECMAScript spec just like JavaScript) and I was using ActionScript 3 with types which was very similar to TypeScript but was better (it was simpler with less room for unnecessary type gymnastics). I was a web developer before the term was broadly used, I was a front end developer before the term was broadly used, I was also a full stack dev before it was trendy.

I was an early bird JavaScript single page app developer. Early bird Node.js adopter. Early bird NoSQL (e.g. MongoDB) adopter. I was always on the cutting edge, adopting new tech as soon as I heard of it but just before it became super popular. I was 100% on target until React came along and I've since been wrong about most trends and yet I'm becoming convinced that it's the trends that are wrong, not me. I say this because complexity has gone out of control and I can build apps faster and simpler using my own home-baked stack than other devs can with React, GraphQL or other trendy tools.

Most of my tools/libraries are open source but they get limited exposure to the broader community (in spite of very positive feedback, I can't get past the chicken and egg problem) so I just use them for myself. If you saw how I write apps (with auth, modeling complex relationships between data, automatic real time update, can scale out of the box with sharding on Kubernetes etc...) with very little code, many devs would be impressed want want to use or build something similar from scratch, yet they may never learn of this tooling or this coding philosophy. These days, new tools simply cannot get the initial boost of users that is required to gain traction. It's like they cannot even enter the playing field; no surprise then that they cannot win the game. You can see how the discourse is completely suppressed; there is only one set of tools on the front end nowadays; React and TypeScript. VueJS and Svelte are struggling if you look at job adverts even though they are at least slightly better technically for most scenarios; it does not translate to jobs.

I think the reason why there is a dissonance between getting very positive feedback for certain open source tools and there being limited adoption is because, at the end of the day, developers don't have a say regarding what tools they can use in production at the companies they work for; they are completely limited to well-known existing tools.

It follows a more general problem we're facing in society now; there is a belief among elite circles that we've reached some kind of singularity; that everything has been figured out and is in its optimal state so no need to try anything else. "Trust the science"; imagine doctors saying that 100 years ago... It says something about how some people perceive this moment in history; they perceive today unlike any other moment before it; whereas in reality, things are very far from optimal for many reasons and we are still in a transition phase.
Think about it this way: your brother in law is your child's uncle.

Not disagreeing you, just adding a point...I self-host Conduit and use FluffyChat on my phone, with ntfy for push notifications. While that works great most of the time, I occasionally have to restrict ntfy because it'll get into some state where it destroys my battery... And push notifications obviously don't work at all in that state.

It's very unfortunate there isn't a privacy-friendly push notification mechanism built into Android that doesn't ruin battery life. Or iOS for that matter; that might actually be a feature that would get me to switch.
I fear you are confusing the concepts of central planning (which commercial monopolies can and often do have) and government control or ownership.

There's a capabilities thing you can do to add the permission to a process without changing users. You can also have it bind to the port as root then drop permissions afterwards.
Responding to a variety of questions made over the years about this:

This is a constant intended to be displayed after localizing the constant. Its localized value will primarily be displayed to users whose preferred languages have a short word describing the relationship.

But it ALSO needs at least some comprehensible localization in EVERY language, because I can send you a vcard for myself labeling this specific type of cousin (because that’s how I think of her), and I don’t know in advance what languages you use.

The primary customer of this family of constants is a localizer, who by virtue of localizing Apple software needs to know English, but may not read or understand Chinese.

The constant embeds everything that an English-speaking localizer needs to explain the relationship in a different language. That’s why something like the proposal here[0] (just use the Chinese name for this relationship) would not be an improvement.

A fully generic DSL to describe relationships wouldn’t help localizers know which relationships are actually used in the real world.

That does sound like a lot of footage, but you wouldn't watch every second just as you likely haven't read every word of every scientific paper you've skimmed or referenced.

The footage is there to support inquiries into how you did your experiment, just as you would skim a youtube video about repairing an appliance to get to the part you need to see.

And yeah, it would have to be a new level of prestige backing this way of documenting your methods. Obviously people prefer being trusted, but p-hacking and replication problems have proven that we can't have nice things.
Unfortunate choice of name, there is already a programming language with the same name.
