Things might be different now, but for sure back when I was doing this there was an "authentication chip" or "authentication coprocessor" needed to unlock almost all available I/O functionality.

There's this [0] which in the 2nd paragraph says that you need an authentication chip.

Here's a few articles from back in the day [1] [2] talking about how you can't use the serial port without the MFI authentication chip. Many sites recommended jailbreaking your phone to use the serial port, which of course doesn't help me with a commercial solution.

There are people complaining about needing a chip to use audio in/out features. [3] [4] Apparently this irritated a bunch of car audio buffs when they locked this down.

We tried using the standard Bluetooth SPP protocol (serial port protocol) as a bypass. Found out that Apple won't support SPP without the chip. [5] [6] For those that don't know, Bluetooth was originally designed to be a wireless serial port to replace RS-232 cables. [7] So support for this should be standard behavior out of the box. But of course Apple wanted to tax this feature as well.

I can't seem to find articles about people talking about using line-in software modem as a bypass, but this stuff is from a long time ago and forums come and go. I certainly didn't come up with the idea on my own, I only attempted it because other people had done this to bypass the serial port lockdown.

Like I said, maybe it's different now, but it wasn't back then. After my bad experience I vowed never to purchase an Apple product again.

I have my doubts that microplastic/nanoplastic exposure is something that the average person in industrialized countries can individually lifestyle-choice their way out of. This is just one vector out of dozens (if not hundreds), most of which haven't been studied so closely. Plastic pollution is a systemic problem, and has been for decades.
Because you are fixing symptoms (w/ another failure point) with local solutions and not the disease (high pressure, bad or unsupported pipes) and good plumbers do not do that because A) ethics B) liability

If your question is can those gas piston water hammer arrestors protect fixtures-- sure, I mean that part is just physics. Whether it's worth it before a hosecock is a completely different matter -- also as per the OP you're far more likely to break a toilet valve just from handling than from water hammer.

I admit that it’s mostly convenience. But there are some things you can only do with a microwave.

Popcorn during a short commercial break (stovetop popcorn is way way more involved)

Melted butter (using a saucepan is NOT more convenient than just melting it directly in a measuring glass)

Mug brownies
Why do people constantly equate picking up a social hobby after work to an in person workplace? They are not equivalent, and the social needs fulfilled are very different.

I might pick up a hobby and make some friends there - these friends are going to linked to my personal life, not my professional one.

I cannot ask this hobby friend for a referral for a job in the future. I cannot ask this hobby friend for some help if I’m dealing with a difficult boss or a challenging technical problem.

I might ask this friend to come skiing with me or come to the bar with me though. That’s nice, but it’s not a work relationship and I can’t fulfill work relationship needs through it.
Sydney was always expensive, but there was a reason for it; now everyone has caught up thanks to the economic climate, and it's just because they think they can get away with it.

I've lived in Adelaide my entire life, and it's impossible to find reasonably priced accommodation currently, and I'm saying that as a working class software engineer. You might not feel the pain, but there's an entire corpus of people besides you who do.
Prices will stall and inflation will erode the actual value of real estate.

Do you even need ai? What about just a basic system where you type in some keywords like the symptom presented, it queries a known good source like the physicians desk reference or something, and returns results with a likelihood score to match your keywords? Such a systems seems like it would be useful and also would not need an ai model or expensive training to create.

Also, a lot of infrastructure projects in Switzerland are done while keeping rail services running on that route. Most European countries shutdown service as it can cost a lot more and there is a safety risk.
Protip I've used the last couple years (worked before that as well, but not as much need) - just check StubHub or other second hand markets a week or so before the show.

Generally the scalpers over buy and will start to panic and unload tickets at very good prices the closer the show gets.
Yes, if the benchmark is 3 million then most of the time it’s inconsequential but there’s much larger wallets susceptible to being pillaged and I would expect a significantly larger impact from even just 30 million. Further liquidity isn’t a steady state. So, if you happen to execute a significant trade at the wrong time you can trigger a surprisingly large cascade effect.

Which is why very large transactions frequently occur either outside of open markets or across a surprisingly long period.
I made the mistake of going splitboarding in the backcountry a few years back in -20°C with -40°C windchill.

Going up the mountain was surprisingly fine. I even had taken off both my jackets and was just wearing thermals as the heat I was generating working to go uphill was enough to keep me comfortable.

Unfortunately when we reached the top, we also ended up directly in the wind with no available cover. Within the ten minutes it took to put my jackets back on and transition to go downhill, I was nearly hypothermic. I couldn’t even operate my fingers enough to bring the idiot-proof magnetic clasp on my helmet together. The whole group was on the verge of panic to get off the top of that ridge. If we’d stayed there five more minutes, I’m not confident we would have made it back home that day.

I can’t fully express how obscenely, unconscionably, and incomparably cold that was. I have never felt anything like it and I hope never to again.

There’s a curve. Stringy, declarative DSLs have high utility when used in linear, unconditional, stateless programming contexts.

Adding state?
Adding conditionals?
Adding (more than a couple) procedure calls?

These concepts perform poorly without common programming tools: testing (via compilation or development runtime), static analysis, intellisense, etc etc

Imagine the curve:

X axis is (vaguely) LinesOfYaml (lines of dsl, really)
Y axis is tool selection. Positive region of axis is “use a DSL”, lower region is “use a GeneralPurposeProgrammingLanguage”

The line starts at the origin, has a SMALL positive bump, than plummets downwards near vertically.

Gets it right? Tools like ocurrent (contrasted against GH actions) [1], cdk (contrasted against TF yaml) [2]

Gets it wrong? Well, see parent post. This made me so crazy at work (where seemingly everyone has been drinking the yaml dsl koolaide) that i built a local product simulator and yaml generator for their systems because “coding” against the product was so untenable.

Kudos to Tony for having the guts to take the leap and reaching this milestone
Interesting that you cut off your quote right where you did. I feel her explanation makes complete sense:

> So, this is one of the points that I try to get across in the book, but I know that for someone who doesn't really know the math of the theories, it's hard to understand. So, let's take this example of the Higgs boson. If you have the standard model of particle physics without the Higgs boson, this theory just does not work at LHC [Large Hadron Collider] energies. You cannot make predictions with it. You get probabilities that are larger than 1; so this is obviously mathematical nonsense.

This seems to me like one of those cases where a woman can’t be confident or assertive without looking like an asshole. He was wrong, and wrong in a way she literally dedicated part of a book about, at that.

Perhaps because security isn't binary. Browsers should sandbox JS such that it's harmless, but sometimes fail at that. Letting fewer random strangers run JS in your browser reduces your attack surface area.
Go's 2MB is just a hello world executable. Same for C# (it's about 1.4ish MB now).

Once you start referencing heavy dependencies like networking stack or bits of async runtime, the binary will get larger. 8.5 MB while very optimistic (it will be usually larger for back-end applications, which is different to parent comment's IoT scenario), it is actually not far off what you'd get with Rust's Tokio + Axum + Serde + Reqwest and auxiliary crates to replicate the functionality that base ASP.NET Core offers.
The LXD - Incus saga with the linuxcontainers community is a very good indicator of how Canonical would behave in a similar situation.
The link shared by notamy is part of it, the musicality is phenomenally technical, but also the collaboration and creativity in the production ( the top-of-their-craft musicians and animations ).

> This community especially can be very toxic to people that are starting out, that aren't geniuses, that didn't make every perfect decision for their product.

Start through another community then? It is nobody's fault if you can't impress people. But I find people being very welcoming here to bad ideas and half-baked products that are absolutely low quality and soon gets abandoned.

> The root cause of the problem isn't scalpers; it's the original concert seller either setting too low a price or too low a quantity.

Imagine viewing a pricing scheme that allows more socioeconomic groups access to the arts as the core problem.

We're experiencing a great decline and fall as social services are failing, wages stagnating, and common cultural experiences are being squeezed for profit, only enabling the richest among us to experience any kind of common social event.

And of course, the response is "keep increasing prices until its unbearable", just like we're doing with rent and housing prices, and calling this efficient.

Inflating prices until few can afford it isn't efficient, its just short sighted greed.

Finding a way to suppress prices and remove scalpers is a net benefit for the artists, venues, and patrons.
Hi, thanks for pointing it out. I know for sure HN is the right place and I already used the "Show HN" format in the past. Unfortunately, it is the only place I know: I am more interested in knowing some others or maybe this use-case specific communities
It depends on how much money there's to be made, just like every other counter-abuse measure.

Proof of work is useful for protecting things worth like a thousandth of a cent per transaction. Captchas for something worth 1/10th of a cent. Phone number verification for something worth $0.1-$1. Real-world presence and real-world id checks for things worth $100.

The amount of money you can make scalping tickets is way higher than that, so it's not a useful defense. Doubly so when the cost of the phone verification isn't even per-transaction, but once per account.

For the ticketmaster case, I think what you'd want is some kind of proof of stable liveness at every transaction. It's easy enough to game proof of liveness, or proof of unique identity, at account creation time. Just the classic method of paying people at a parking lot $5 to pass a "wave to the webcam" captcha. But they can't get those same people back for another captcha every time they want to use that account for another ticket. (Though it's possible that deepfakes have rendered webcam captchas effectively worthless in the last year or two, I don't know where the state of the art on deepfake detection for this kind of usecase is.)
Very possible. SourceHut is great and seems to be most popular with developers and open source teams (although I'm sure they also have corporate users too). We are more focused on companies and enterprises. These are different segments of the market with different needs. The former also tends to have higher user counts with lower average deal size, while the latter has lower user counts with very high average deal size.

With that being said, Gitness is a rebranding of Drone, which has 10,000+ active installations so I would say we are off to a pretty good start!
Both. Some are fast and skittish, and if they launch, even a short fall would be fatal. Description of the bite is similar to a wasp sting; only dangerous if anaphylaxis.
The problem with raising the prices is that people are willing to pay so much for a ticket exactly because they're difficult to get.

If the tickets were actually easily obtainable but more expensive then paradoxically people wouldn't be willing to pay as much for the ticket because of a perceived loss of value.

And as mentioned in the other reply, many people disagree with the "greed is good" philosophy, hence the /s.

and that reduction may have 0 effect :(
I'm also guessing the bounce rate on HN is pretty high. New users come in, see a post like this where the top 5 posts are all long and very negative, and they bounce. Who wants to stick around for that? Other people who like to post negative comments. It's a self-reinforcing cycle.
I'm sure there's some set of lifestyle choices that would lead to a measurable reduction, but whether that reduction matters practically is a different question.
In the time of box offices, ticket scalpers still thrived.

As discussed in the article, heating can increase shedding, creating a porous surface. It's OK that it's porous if it's cleaned in the dishwasher after every use, but, and I may be wrong, I wouldn't be confident all the shedding is washed away in the dishwasher.
Have you considered an excel-like data grid for chart input? (Like datagridxl.com)

I think OPs argument is that tackling microplastic exposure through personal choices like microwave use, etc, may be unlikely to make a significant dent in overall microplastic consumption, if it's in all the food, all the water, the soil, the air, the bedsheets, the flooring, etc etc.
as long as you approach this kind of thing with knowledge of how Youtube works, I actually think there's a pretty high chance of success

if you have a good mic and camera, show your face, speak clearly, consistently upload, and - most importantly - you broadly make one-off videos about common denominator subtopics - never going too deep or numbering your videos - then I wouldn't bet against you. there really aren't that many successful science Youtubers
For those who don't know: PIK (ПИК) is the largest property developer in Russia. Most of the newly built affordable housing in Russia tends to be very high rise, low quality and not conductive to decent living conditions.

What is your position? You're bashing the reply for not complaining about all greed, is that it? Like somehow the OP didn't go far enough? I'm struggling to understand your response, maybe it is to defend greed?
That’s tricky because LLM’s can copy existing examples while plugging in different values. You can tell they aren’t actually using logic when they make long strings of extremely egregious mistakes, but when everything looks reasonable it’s very difficult to understand why it happened to be correct.
I think they like their jobs and would like to keep them and they are constantly under attack by the public at large.

Like do you actually think any kid who was a bully you grew up with went into teaching? There definitely are a few, but just like in the kids’ case, it’s suuuuuper obvious who they are — even as adults — and they are not the majority case in any school system I’ve ever been a part of.

FWIW it is literally legally difficult to do anything. A lot of forms of bullying are not illegal per se and kids — even asshole kids — do have a right to an education.
My father purchased a house in Melbourne in the late 70’s, and he paid the mortgage completely in 3.5 years as a physical labourer. Most of his generation did the same. Today as a senior engineer I would need 35 years to pay off that very same home.

Hence why I moved away from Australia to south east Europe, now the 1.46ha block of land and big house on an estate set me back 3 yearly salaries. Income tax is lower, and lifestyle cheaper. I know 4 other families (friends) that did the same. Expect an exodus from Australia.
Ask HN: Why are so many OSS communities on Discord?
I'm honestly tired of seeing OSS tools/products like Gitea rely on centralized, proprietary tools like Discord and Slack for their communities. I could understand less technical communities staying on Discord, but for OSS tools - especially those that focus on self-hosted like Gitea! - to not run their own chat server seems weird. Why is this the case? Is self-hosting just too inconvenient/expensive/pointless?
I'd love to read more about how the GP can live this lifestyle, maybe they can share and we all can learn and replicate their journey on how to make money doing literally whatever we want whist doing a lot of interesting hobbies.
It's one thing, and I agree with you, to block porn, social media, and other inappropriate sites on school computers. My school library didn't have Playboy or Penthouse magazines available, and though I think the public library maybe carried Playboy, it was not available to minors.

It's another matter to actively monitor what students are doing, or writing/communicating to each other, and reporting back to teachers/administrators. That's an invasion of privacy and enables worse. There have been cases where weirdo administrators were activating cameras on school computers while the computers were away from school in the students' homes, bedrooms, etc.
Equally inflammatory to tell people who should know better that they'll keep getting what they deserve? How is it unclear who the audience is on HN?

Encouraging those who can to do is also a component of grassroots change. I don't think it took much charity to interpret their comment as being directed toward HN, and only a little more to imagine how pushing tech people to use/develop/polish ad blocking tools can result in the spread of such things.

Seems like you're working hard to be upset.

> ...the document is badly written. So it is just too embarrassing.

At risk of being accused of being on the A.I. hype train, it seems like having a writing bot that could distill the important points out of poorly written documents, and state them more clearly would be a huge boon. Hopefully it would allow an iterative process where someone could hone their offering to a point where they felt okay releasing it.

This may sound dumb, but I never trusted microwaves. It just feels so unnatural. I even have basic understanding on how they work (water molecules in food start to vibrate producing heat), but it just doesn't taste good and feels off. No way it is healthy.
Every action directed at making tickets more affordable will have the opposite effect of making scalping more profitable. Im amazed that a reverse auction style approach hasn’t caught on, when you are capacity limited it seems nearly optimal for extracting profit and kills the ticket scalping business model.
