Well slack doesn't even send me the messages to my desktop continuing to send to my phone (which continues to buzz) despite me writing on the desktop, just because I send a message on my phone 10min ago.

So it might not be that easy (if even slack with their funding can't get it right).

To be honest, using another website or extension didn't really give the best experience for me.

A few years back, I decided to try out a extension that changes the homepage. It was horrible in UI and UX wise, and it was one of the top trending extensions on the Chrome Web Store.

The default homepage is just simple and to the point, just a white page with a search bar.
Can't say for certain in the whole of the EU but in the UK diesel hasn't been cheaper than petrol in 16 years.

I can say this with some certainty as I bought a diesel car 16 years ago partly because it would be cheaper.
Looks like it was indeed, in the past couple of hours. The entire road segment is now removed from Maps.

Nothing like a top comment on an HN front page story to get a company to take action, I guess.
Reputation is vital in the extortion world. There has to be some trust that if you pay a ransom, the other party will follow through.
Hackers and ransomware folks are accepted predators. You've just got to build assuming they exist. It's a pity, and things were much better for just trying out stuff when it wasn't so sophisticated, but now every open port physical or virtual is a risk factor.

Can't stand these hackers, but what are you gonna do? If the government can track and incarcerate that's great, but they can't do that for everything. Hopefully, we'll get up to a state where only the most sophisticated can operate and then it becomes worth it economically for the US Gov to capture them.

Though one wonders if there is a threshold economic cost where additional security would be so costly over the economy and where the damage is so large that the US Gov would just choose to terminate other state actors. Very sci-fi.
anyone using crossplane in production? how has it been? What does the flow look like? Is argocd still needed?
What does provably correct mean here? I think you mean that the code doesn’t have any memory corruption vulnerabilities. However, that is only one class of vulnerability, so more techniques then just relying on a memory safe language are required for secure software.
It's not O2: if you let water sit out, various things (including CO2) dissolve in it, making it slightly acidic and taste stale.

I'm not a big tea drinker, but I am definitely not a super fan of water that's been sitting out a day. There's not been time for stuff to grow in it yet, but it still tastes gross.
Good luck with Water Wright. They come in long runs and aren't very heavy. Occasional problems with inventory, but do you really need the red one?
I agree with most everything else you’ve said, but I feel like I’m using a different windows than everyone else when they talk about “forced reboots”. This never happens to me! I’ve seen prompts, but they were always able to be delayed. Is it something that only kicks in if you go ages without manually rebooting?

At a certain point though, I’d say forcing users to install critical security updates is the user-centered option.
The author is the former lead of Google Project Zero, and the article is an in depth look at a low level bug.

Corruption exists everywhere, but in western countries is a lot less likely that you'll be bribing police, school teachers, medical services, banks etc as an 'individual' to get the services you expect from them. Can you find examples of people bribing those in those positions? Sure, it can and does happen. And on the whole, it's the exception rather than the rule.
And definitely not at the scale of other countries.

Big business interests affecting policy for the point of profit is a universal issue though.

If you want to disagree on the metaphysics or whatever go ahead, but this is already proving to be a huge waste of time and I'm not particularly interested.
> Hot take, but IMO Windows has far more respect for the user than Linux does.

You need to be more specific about what desktop Linux flavours aren't holding up in your eyes because window managers like XFCE and Cinnamon are bulletproof as far as I'm concerned and I've never had issues with them. Especially XFCE.

> there's no single dominant standard.

This is a common criticism and I totally get you here. Not knowing what's going to work for you is annoying and truthfully, no one really wants to shop around for window managers and the only reason I know what's good in the first place is because I spent weeks in my youth test driving everything available, something I no longer have the energy for.
I hate to beat a dead horse but its been an issue even before Android. I had gmail in the inital invite-only launch back in 2004. They added their first real chat feature into gmail (back when gmail was the only google service you needed an account for) in 2006, 2 years before Android.

I don't even know what they call that chat-inside-gmail these days. Talk? Chat? I remember it getting merged with Hangouts eventually and then un-merged. Or was that Voice?

I was on Voice too as GrandCentral back before Google bought them. The mp3 ringback functionality which was the first feature lost in the purchase.

Ended up reminiscing a bit there but its been a crazy ride in the Google sphere.
I'm confused about what "reducing recruitment" even means in this scenario. There's demand, and then there are organizations who supply that demand, and then there are people who need jobs (sometimes desperately).

Is "reducing recruitment" another way of saying, "if we would 'just' fix the whole economy then people wouldn't be inclined to accept this type of work"? That's kind of what it sounds like. That reasoning falls flat when you face the reality that demand is not slowing down, and that the cartels are already thoroughly entrenched. Back to square one.

The samsung s22+ kind-of has these features, I'm not sure if its purely a customization for them?

On the lock screen, the camera app is by default there, you can just swipe up, and if the last mode was video, then it's video again

And under More Battery Settings, there's an option for "Protect battery", which limits maximum charge to 85%

Kagi is basically now my daily use search engine apart from Startpage.

The bangs feature, where you can use a quick command to search popular sites like Wikipedia, reddit, Youtube, etc is great, and doesn't count towards your search limit.

And I'm really looking forward to using the Universal Summarizer feature which is included with these new $10 rate.

Keep up the great work lads & lasses!
Airlines have also had really shitty luck as an industry, that isn't high margin to begin with, facing two exogenous near death experiences in 20 years with 9/11 and Covid.
If the initial talk about flow and productivity is boring, skip down halfway, to the little paratrooper photo, to the important idea that's the title of the piece.
It is perfectly legal to disallow Visa-requiring individuals. I don't believe it is legal to disallow permanent residents as they have the same employment rights as citizens.

That being said, they could just omit the line and discriminate silently. The law doesn't guarantee you a job either so, unless you can undeniably prove you are the best for the job, they'd probably be safe (legally). This is what African-Americans (most prominently, but other groups as well) with obvious nomenclature have dealt with for years.
I surprised there's never mention of reducing the flow of arms illegally exported from the US. From a practical perspective I think this is low-hanging fruit.
Deregulation worked, but in a capitalistic society bigness has benefits. Rolling up your competitors has advantages, both from a financial and business point of view.

The problem isn't deregulation, it's preserving competition.
The drop in price has a great deal to do with improving technology not simply competition driving down prices and how little room people are willing to accept.

An apples to apples comparison with equivalent legroom etc a domestic flight in 1970 was often cheaper than what people see today. The cheapest thickets on long haul flights have fallen significantly, but that’s also where technology has made the greatest strides with more efficient engines requiring less fuel and thus less weight which increases efficiency which then compounds on longer trips.
That makes sense. I feel like a federal government policy making it illegal to pay a ransom would go a long way towards making this type of thing less profitable.
I side with the native kazakhs in thinking this is just a hoax. Perhaps if your family was wealthy and had the inclination and had an older sister Makes sense because the mortality rates for women and children were so high you want to keep women away from danger. Let’s say you fall of a horse or you get bit by a snake. Game over.

That changes with modern medicine and guns. There was a significant number of Russian snipers who were women and they turned out to be good at it.

I think maybe the valkyries were real and a famous, perhaps the first, division of combat nurses, but I don’t have any evidence for it
There is a very clear market desire for desktop style apps delivered through browsers.

Users love it. Users hate installers. Users hate updates. Webpages have neither.

Companies love it. Makes subscription access apps easy to sell. Makes it easy to target all platforms and keep costs low.

Seems very flippant to completely dismiss the dominant trend in this industry over the past 20 years as simply wrong.

I agree the technologies are not well suited to this purpose which is why I avoid frontend at all costs. But powerful web apps generate a lot of value for a lot of people, myself included.
Was so disappointed when I got a new 2DS XL and it had 2 absolutely unusable TN screens. Never really used the thing because of it.
scrcpy is awesome! Native support for streaming the camera directly (vs. streaming a screen capture of the camera app) is coming soon: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/pull/4213

For folks willing to build from source, I have an additional commit on top of the PR (linked in the comments) that enables support for Android's constrained high speed capture mode, allowing 120fps/240fps camera streaming. Not the most useful for meetings, but enables things like capturing high frame rate mixed reality VR footage. As far as I'm aware, there's no other Android webcam app, proprietary or open source, that can do anything above 60fps.
I appreciate the fact that you believe India is being unfairly vilified in the greater discussion.

> The defensiveness and overreaction of India suggests that something is amiss.
> Why not just either 1) work with Canada to convince them they didn’t do it, or 2) just let it go?

If you take the original comment at face value, the thread is a thought experiment. Demanding proof of events in a hypothetical situation, seems like misplaced concern.
Structured formats cannot natively represent every possible type. For example JSON might support very basic types, like integers and booleans, but not more complex types like date/time types. Formats like JSON only have an advantage when discussing built-in types. Because with JSON, if you say "this field is a boolean" then everyone knows its possible values, however, if you say "this field is a date" then who knows? The point the article makes is the format itself shouldn't dictate types and to let the application decide them - which it what happens anyway for types the format doesn't natively support. You need documentation either way.
Why can't modern software pack with more "modules"? e.g. Just upgrade a webp.dll and we're set.
> the point of a command economy is to deny individuals freedom.

This is an unsupported generalization. Command systems exist to mandate production and distribution of goods, e.g. to ensure sufficient food production and equitable food distribution. They eliminate the "overhead" of competition and the need for marketing. Look at any self-sufficient commune and tell me their internal economy has anything to do with imposing limits on freedom. Don't let your negative feelings toward certain historical examples cloud your understanding of the matter at hand.
This is kind of meta, but you're taking issue with the descriptive term I've used and implicitly dismissing the possibility that we simply disagree on the severity of the transgression.

If I said a 63 degree room was freezing. That would be an exaggeration and misuse of the term and you'd be objectively correct in pointing that out. But in the case of how severe the transgression is - we can only use descriptive terms as it's not quantifiable.

I think it's far worse than rude and is controlling in an abusive manner. Reasonable people can disagree on that and we likely do. But, declaring that on I must be misusing the word seems like a distraction from that.
Windows has never respected users. Not in version 3.0, and not today in 11. Millennium Edition and Vista were particularly egregious, and 11 took it to a brave new world.

There is no such thing as a single Linux experience, each distribution targets different personas and goals.

If you want a curated Linux desktop experience, then try Elementary OS. It is very aligned to a Mac experience.
I once had to fill out security paperwork listing everybody I have had regular contact with in the last 10 years. My wife's father divorced her mom and then remarried and had another kid. The form insisted that all family relations had to be categorized, but there was no category for "step brother-in-law".
Correct, they'd pay the companies via corp-to-corp.

Absolutely true! And that's one of the 1,000 reasons why GridWhale might fail.

There are already lots of people working to simplify web development by fixing one thing at a time. But what if we could start from scratch and build an integrated platform in which all the pieces work together? Would that be better than piecemeal evolution?

Take something like https://Bubble.io. That's an integrated system which has its own custom semantics for UI, storage, etc. But people build apps on it because it's really easy to build apps.

My premise is that there are some people who are looking for an integrated development experience (like Delphi or like Visual Basic) who are not satisfied with either current complex tools or the more limited nocode systems like Bubble.io.

Will there be enough of them to build a business? We'll see.
Google: Users Do Not Seem to Make an Active Choice of a Search Engine (2007) [pdf]
Yes, in many ways a 70 yo is less capable than a 40 yo. Mental acuity, stamina/fitness, rigidity of thinking (the lack thereof) and general health (mental and otherwise). Never ending political terms may also come with a sense of entitlement and disdain for the democratic process. As can be observed when someone from their own political side dares challenging figures like Pelosi, McConnell and others. Knifes are out and playing dirty is the name of the game then.

Where a politician who has “served” for decades does have the edge is knowing from experience how to pull the strings, cut backroom deals etc. They also have a far-flung network of political relations, essentially people who owe them favours. I don’t think these qualities are to the advantage of their constituents or the nation. They certainly help to keep them in power though, which makes gerontocracy a self-fulfilling prophecy.
> They ARE delivering less

They are serving far more people at far lower ticket prices than when they were regulated. I.e. deregulation enabled them to put the planes where the people are.

Is it that a lot of capacity is unused in those behemoth LLMs, or that the smaller language model just mimics the reasoning task? (Mimics the mimicking?)
The US military's many labs, test sites, software foundries, federally funded research and development companies, and research institutes are laughing at this sentiment. Innovation is routinely commanded -- look at Skunkworks, JPL, heck even the USSR's space program.

The aftermarket has always done more for Nintendo's handhelds than they themself have. Aftermarket LCDs make the GBC and GBA truly enjoyable gaming handhelds versus the nigh-unusable messes they are out-of-the-box.

The Switch is probably the only real exception, currently; but I could just be ignorant and there are much better mods for it.
Ask HN: Recommendations for Deeply Checking Laptop
Hello everyone. This seems like a simple enough question but a trustworthy, reliable answer can be surprisingly hard to find with the ocean of SEO garbage filler promotional content flooding search results these days.

What tools, techniques or software do you recommend for thoroughly scanning a windows machine for malware, spyware, rootkits and possibly even keystroke loggers? Any suggestions are very welcome.
Kagi says that it does not link private information and searches. I'm really struggling to see how that's possible when you need to log in to search. Magic?

The anonymous payment options are cumbersome. Why not do something like Mullvad with scratch-off vouchers sold on Amazon?
Not wanting H1b is fine and legal, because you can’t simply hire them. You need to file paperwork go prove that you can’t find the equivalent from local workforce. GC is weird, if they needed security clearance, but security clearance takes more than 3 weeks.

My ADHD got the best of me during the pandemic. I ended up buying 3... New nintendo 3DSXLs. I imported one from Japan and converted it to US rom. I love these for travel. The 3D effect is so cool, and I like how you can turn it off. The battery life is fantastic. Now like all hobbies, when something gets scarce and I lust and hoard the object, I need to liquidate since you can't play 3 consoles at the same time.

HTML and DOM are genuinely poor media for doing that though. A lot of web development is working around them.

However, it’s the only common UI we have. It is defined outside the scope of any one platform. And if you want to serve HTML, you have to conform to the spec.

There is no UIML. If there were and if it were served via HTTP, we could have all of what you want AND a better web development experience
The parent appeared to be suggesting that legalizing drugs would not solve the cartel problem, because the cartels have already displayed a willingness to engage in different forms of harmful activity. The argument wasn't "legalization is bad", but rather "legalization won't solve this specific problem".
Yes and: regulation is just a scary word for rules. As you know, there's always rules. Even informal markets have rules, known by all the players, even if they're not written any where.

Being an idealist, I prefer rules which lean towards fairness, legibility, and predictability.
Even as much as knowing there will be a bottle of water in your room or what type of meals will be served on your flight make a huge difference. It’s one less thing to think about.
