Not having to install apps like Rectangle to snap windows into desired areas.

It’s their job to get people to click the upgrade button, so developers can rely on the new advanced libraries, and if the impression they make is “basic maintainance update with some colorful snazz” it is more likely to happen.

I upgraded to the beta version and am having a bug with an app that relies on WebKit so for me I wish I’d waited for the .1.

I ran a small FBA business for a year nowhere near any scale and it was an interesting lesson. People who weigh in on these tech topics should actually try these things out to understand them better.

It's nothing like listing on eBay where there's some haircut off the top and that's that.

There are fees for - accepting inventory, holding inventory, returning unsold inventory, shipping sales, processing returns, destroying returns, transaction fees, ads to promote your listings in market, and probably 5 other things I forget. Depending on the fee it is - fixed, % of $, weight based, volume based, or some combination.

The fees change constantly with not much notice. So every time you think you've got just the right size/weight/price balance you get screwed. And where else are you going to go?

Like Uber drivers, I imagine some % of FBA sellers don't know they are losing money in real time. You need to do some decent accounting to track as all these different fees hit at different times. It's not like Amazon gives you the data & tools to track your all-in costs per sale.
Cause then no one would update?

> Fire the execs...I think people are increasingly tired of business leaders paying themselves millions when things go well, but facing no repercussions when they don't.

Does firing execs even count as repercussions when they've got golden parachutes to make sure they can fail with no consequences
A name isn't quite what it used to be. Monogamy and large families no longer have the social power they once did. It's all been replaced by money and new forms of communication.

People may call this unnatural, but I wonder if other animals have similar behaviors that limit reproduction.
This seems extremely unlikely, given the relatively small percentage of beef that comes from culled dairy cows, the absolutely vast amount of beef used as an input for fast food, and the named suppliers companies like McDonalds use.

It's one of the key results from the paper. From the abstract: "In contrast to demographic reconstructions based on mtDNA, we infer a second strong bottleneck in Y-chromosome lineages dating to the last 10 ky."

From the body: "However, the Y chromosome plot suggested a reduction at around 8–4 kya (Supplemental Fig. S4B; Supplemental Table S4) when the female Ne is up to 17-fold higher than the male Ne (Supplemental Fig. S5)."

Indeed, the title does not match the title of the paper, but hopefully makes it more approachable.

People are complaining about a lot of things. I don’t know. If there’s a secure way to stock up on parts and use parts from broken phones that also works with anti-theft goals then yes they should do that.
I obviously read the press release, but haven't read the 173 page complaint yet. But the piece about pricing is DEAD wrong.

The complaint says:

> Amazon uses a set of anti-discounting tactics to prevent rivals from
24 growing by offering lower prices,

But Amazon's contracts with big sellers specifically state that it may only discount when competitors first lower prices, making it in effect a price follower.

It goes on to say:

> Amazon deploys a sophisticated surveillance network of web crawlers that constantly
monitor the internet, searching for discounts that might threaten Amazon’s empire. When
Amazon detects elsewhere online a product that is cheaper than a seller’s offer for the same
product on Amazon, Amazon punishes that seller

Which belies the fact that when you sell on Amazon you agree not to offer lower prices in other places. This is simply Amazon enforce one end of the two way part of the contract. Amazon agrees not to unilaterally slash your prices and you agree not to discount behind their backs. But you aren't as an eCommerce seller obligated to do business with Amazon, they don't have sufficient market share for that.

Furthermore, this statement is specifically false:

> By taming price cutters into price followers, Amazon freezes price competition
11 and deprives American shoppers of lower prices

Amazon is the price follower. If Wal-Mart offers a discount, so will Amazon. If B&H Photo discounts a camera, so will Amazon. The FTC is using sleight of hand here.

I just don't find their arguments here to be very compelling. I'm not against monopoly enforcement, but I just don't see how Amazon actually has the pricing power they're claiming.
This method reduces testing burden by eliminating the combination of an old OS with new app.

They might also see it as an incentive - perhaps new app features act as driver for OS adoption.
I think the idea is what you say, and what the parent said.

Before internet and telephone, we still took things on faith from people we met, be it travellers or politicians or newspapers. But newspapers and politicians were more local, and didn't buy into whatever they read like scripture the way many seem to do these days.
Not to mention there are other methods, like JMP oriented programming (someone’s even written some papers on that, and tools for it).

Also worth noting: the mov being Turing complete paper.
Most of the new app features are tied to OS-wide and OS-APIs wide capabilities, so they can't release "just Notes" without the OS-level frameworks that support those features. Take for example the PDF editing/support in Notes now. Or the Pages compatibility. Or Note widgets for the desktop, etc. Similar case for Safari, as they offer the webkit widget and JSCore as an OS-level APIs too.

Plus of course everything is tested together (which is what Linux distros also do. They update their apps for minor releases and bugfixes but not major releases for the same distro).

Apple knows that you want the app updates. They want you to update to the latest OS for a variety of reasons (support, security, marketing, etc). They also know you paid thousands of dollars for your laptop and aren't likely to switch off of macOS entirely. So, they bundle the app updates to the OS update as an incentive.

Thank you for this great, succinct analysis!
Isn't the issue here short term vs long term consumer interest? It's all fine and dandy for consumers to pay lower prices because company A is eating losses to drive company B out of business but what happens after that.
The fact only chromium based browsers are effected makes me think really the problem lies with the browser. However, still using the result of compression as a delta to extract sensitive data is not exactly new.

If you're playing 128th notes at 178bpm each note is 11 ms. If your BT headphones have a 30 ms latency everything you play will be off. The only BT headphones that work for music are AIAIAI headphones which require their own transmitter and receiver. They still have a 16ms latency and barely work.

General BT is useless for music.
barely related but I used to commute 60/90 minutes for an entry level tech job in orange county (I lived inland where it was more industrial and was chasing opportunity). Sometimes we'd have client network outages that left us in office until late night/early morning, twice I tried to sleep at the office instead of driving home.

first time was in my car and was kicked out of the parking lot by security, I probably should have protested more

second time was curled up against a wall in our equipment room, and the poor cleaning lady let out a shout when she discovered me haha

on one hand a company hotel seems kind of perverse to me, on the other its cheaper than the super 8 was in 2010, and I probably would have taken a $99 room over the commute every now and then

How accurate is the weather.gov forecast? Compared to other regular consumer apps like weather.com or wunderground.com.
At one of my previous places, AT&T offered FTTN, but only if you used their router. The router somehow managed to break next-level NAT, so there was no way to use FTTN without giving AT&T access to your LAN. That violates California's network neutrality laws that prohibit discriminating against certain devices (though so does every single cell carrier plan that prohibits tethering, or swapping a phone with a tablet or a 5G dongle).

The cell phone companies around here also all have some form of blurring video for some streaming providers, and bundling subscriptions to other video providers.

Comcast definitely weaponized data caps with absurd overage fees, and also didn't invest in backend network infrastructure until they were under 3MBps average video streaming speeds on their 100MBps plans.

It's cheaper until the promo rate expires (in 4 days?) or cost otherwise rises just 20%.

I thought Google ended free meals and laundry.

Who else wants all their home internet traffic routing through their employer? At least workers won't be stuck with a long apartment lease at the next Google layoff. They can conveniently collect their box of belongings on the sidewalk when they lose their job.
> I mean I use let to bind a variable with the same name as a function. This is idiomatic in Common Lisp, and totally breaks things in most other languages.

Aha, that should be working fine?

(defn add [x y]
(let [add clojure.core/+]
(add x y)))

The `let` binding is local, so it's referring to clojure.core/+, and outside the function `add` I can use the name `add` to call it. Seems it's handling that case correct?

> I watched a video and it does seem rather complete, but [1] indicates there is no debugger?

I think debuggers tend to be used as a library across many different editors, rather than the editor/plugin providing that functionality. Personally, I don't use debuggers much as the functions I write tend to be small and evaluating small executions with the repl tends to reveal the issue quickly. Sometimes when refactoring others code I've used https://github.com/philoskim/debux to various degrees of success.

I do think cider (https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider) has stuff regarding stepping debuggers, but I'm not sure how common it is to use it. Maybe other Clojure users can fill me in :)

> . I also don't see a profiler mentioned

Yeah, as you said, the Java ecosystem basically covers that. For OSS stuff, I use VisualVM, and for professional stuff I use YourKit, both of them work well with Clojure and points out my user-space code with ease. And I've never been paid anything for actually writing/maintaining Java code, so even with that, seems I'm able to use those tools just for Clojure :)

> As an aside, by "continuations" did you mean "restarts"?

Ah yes, of course. The condition system and restarts :) Thanks!
I'd rather they focus on universal broadband access:

1) Set a minimum 1th percentile download and upload speeds and 99th percentile RTTs, bucketed in 1 minute intervals over a 30 day period. If an ISP falls below that for more than 1% of customers, then they automatically lose any right of way exclusivity that they hold, and also are broken into a common carrier and retail group.

1a) Throttled / non-prioritized / blocked services count toward the SLA.

2) If a telco is not meeting the universal access requirements in an area, then their networks are automatically transferred to a telco that is meeting the requirements. The receiving telco must hold the infrastructure until it meets SLAs for 10 years. If all the local telcos fail, then ownership reverts to a locally-owned (no more than 100K subscribers) co-ops.
Not sure I follow this narrative regarding China building a ton of coal plants being a signal for oil shortage. Can you elaborate? There aren't any power plants that run on oil there and the whole thing seems like a move away from hydroelectric power which has been severely weakened due to drought.

I actually see this could be a useful thing. A hybrid worker that needs to get into the office a couple of times per week would leverage this to stay a night or two, particularly if their commute was otherwise fairly long.

Let's say that someone's commute would be over an hour long, but they have some ability to work from home. On the days that they need to be in office, staying the night at a reasonably priced company hotel might bring a lot of value.
Still no :has() support? Getting ridiculously late now. It’s a major development in the web platform.
In a typical installation, being in a docker group gives you access to a socket that controls docker daemon and that daemon runs as root. `sudo` is not important in this context.

Thankfully there is rootless mode for some time now: https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/rootless/.

Podman, too, can run in rootful and rootless mode. Rootless in podman still feels to me to be more like first class citizen, as opposed to docker case.

In both cases it's important to keep in mind in which mode you operate. Both from the perspective of security and day to day operations, as some aspects of behavior will differ between those modes.
Amazing! I use text-generation-webui to play with LLMs, but was always jealous of this much simpler interface.

Somewhat related note -- does anyone know what are the performance differences for GPU-only inference using this loader (llama.cpp + GGUF/GGML modles) vs exllama using GPTQ? My understanding is that exllama/GPTQ gets a lot higher tok/s on a consumer GPU like a [34]090.

Would save me many gigabytes of downloads of testing if someone knew.
An SDR content brightness slider for a non-apple HDR monitor/projector would be nice. Anyone knows if Sonoma has changes for this in stock?

Edit: Updated now and it seems like nothing changed :(. External monitor still becomes dim for SDR content if I flick on HDR, and no slider in sight to boost the intensity. There is a projector setting as a color profile, but that only changes the contrast and colors, but not the brightness.
A lot of the app updates are using new APIs that only exist starting with the OS update. Practical way to surface the new OS features.
I'm wishing now for this to happen. At least for now tech companies are pricing things a bit more fairly
The three-tier system is absolutely awful in a lot of states for smaller breweries. It has been used to severely reduce their ability to sell on-site for off-site consumption, which is key for smaller breweries. Many states set the revenue/volume cap too low before you have to cut off on-site sales of off-site consumption for you to not take a significant hit to your profit swapping to a distributor.

It also makes it very easy for the bigger groups like AB Inbev to play games with distributors around pushing enough volume of their products if they want to get allocations of more in-demand bottles like Goose Island's Bourbon County Brand Stout.

I did not think I would ever see someone seriously arguing that the three-tier system for beer is a good thing for smaller players.
$19B to not build a competing search engine, this is essentially a pay off. I don’t see how the courts don’t atleast put an end to this. Apple is free to make a search engine which Spotlight essentially already is.
Maybe the above poster was referencing the startup founders and early employees on HN, who could be considered to not be working class, depending on their ownership stake and success of their company.
I think the graphics of Dwarf fortress and Minecraft are why those games were so much cheaper to develop,
rather than some romantic story about the triumph of the underdog the vs some big bad empire. Turns out fun is more important to some than graphics. There are plenty of people that tried to play Dwarf fortress and gave up because earlier versions were impenetrable.

It's very location-dependent. In my midwest metro I believe they'd be less than 5% of the market. I'm sure Albertsons and Kroger each have local monopolies in different regions.
> The implementations of the exfat and msdos file systems on macOS have changed; these file systems are now provided by services running in user-space instead of by kernel extensions.

This sounds interesting!

I really wish there was a native FUSE alternative on macOS; just recently I found myself in a pickle due to not being able to mount an ext4 boot volume on an SD card on my Mac at all. (Passing through to a VM works only via USB.)

Planting trees is not an easy solution. https://e360.yale.edu/features/phantom-forests-tree-planting...

A major problem is that monitoring and verification is patchy. A carbon credit is in theory something like X ton-years, but there is no guarantee that what you pay for will be around in X years and policing us extremely difficult. X is traditionally 100 years. If I sell you a carbon credit and then cut all my trees down, what happens?

Another is fraudulent sites - people selling credits for sites that already exist, we're already planned for protection, etc.
Is it a meaningful volume for Amazon at all? I thought the majority of US/EU customers begin their search from Amazon and just skip Google when it comes to shopping.
At my organization, to protect a private key, we split it into three where any 2 of the 3 founders can decrypt the key if they combine their own passwords, there are tools everywhere to do this, but we rolled our own (basically do all the encrypt_a_b, encrypt_a_c, encrypt_b_c which encrypts with both passwords, and use that to decrypt for each pair)
There's redash as well.
On the flip side, zero-day WebKit security vulnerabilities require a full OS update to patch Safari.

From a security perspective decoupling from OS updates seems advantageous.

Yes, it seems like the linked site either doesn't realize those are two separate words, or enjoys using the latter because maybe it sounds slightly more scandalous?

For a factual news story like this, I think a source less dripping with a particular POV would be great.
Just because you don't want to have to install a thing, or is there something that native support would be able to do that third-party apps can't?
I always assumed those sites get their data from weather.gov or something similar.
Several of the grocery stores in my area carry rabbit in their specialty meat section. If you can't source it locally, there are a good number of suppliers from which you can order it online.
Does OrbStack allow you to create MacOS Containers? It doesn't seem like it from their website. It seems like it just runs on MacOS to let you create Linux containers.
How can I disable this? The popup is super annoying.
Is there any indication all of the IronSource or other ad stuff will not be optional?

Not allowing developers to remove it from their games would certainly be a step too far (at this time anyway, who know what will they come up with in a couple of years).
Because you're not playing the game if you buy it in a store.
Google isn't claiming any such statement. It's merely providing fun statistics based on their data set. With that context, when I read a headline claiming that the statistics are "wrong," it would imply that the counts are somehow off. Maybe due to a bug in the algorithm or the like.

Instead, we get a strawman put up where they misrepresent what the data set is, make up things that its "claiming," fail to investigate the underlying data sources and look into "why" they see the trend they see, and also fail to provide any alternative data.

It's cheap and snobby grandstanding, ironically complete with faulty interpretations of the little data they DO present.
Ask HN: How do you document SW projects at your company?
Doing some research to see if there is a better way to document software projects given detailed design docs are usually: 1. out of date basically immediately, 2. hard to update and keep in sync with the latest project developments. Have you encountered any approaches along your career that you favor for addressing these issues?
One alternative way I’ve been testing recently: load the entire csv file into a single row column in Postgres, and the use a view to parse it into lines and values. Then cache the result with a materialized view. 16mb, 500k rows (formula 1 laptimes) takes only a few seconds to load and map to materialized view records.
Your post is the most on point. The culture is way too different and especially for this community it should be obvious: the risk averse culture, the pessimism, the crabs in a bucket mentality and the relative lack of economic opportunities, especially in IT.
Yeah that gets around the twitter blockade. But still, I prefer a blog post or article much more.
