Sounds a lot like discriminative hiring. Isn't that illegal in the us?
I'm otherwise indifferent to alternate browsers/engines on iOS, but this is a complete fiction. You made this up just to prop up your personal preference.
I’ve suffered through it just like you. I recently reinstalled Overcast after using Castro for quite a while. But, I’m still not completely satisfied with any of these apps.
Changing the color of white during the day is amazing. Having daylight temp bulbs at night is just "rude". Having the warm temp color during the day is much less "rude". Having the best of both worlds with one light and not having to think about it is pretty amazing.

Other than that, I just enjoy having the remote ability of turning lights on/off from my couch. I don't even have mine accessible via WAN, so it's not like "oh I forgot to turn off the lights" after leaving the house. they're LEDs, so I don't care!
How is that possible? We've made the same observation about the irrationals and the rationals. We want to make a followup observation that is true of the irrationals but not the rationals. Our first observation obviously can't be related.
> But causal processes can _generate_ rational argument.

There is no reason for thinking this. A causal process can be associated and simultaneous with an argument, but it can't generate it, except by accident. The state of mind '2+2' may be followed by the state of mind '4', but it could just as easily be followed by the state of mind '5'. Causal processes may make us believe one or the other, but they will not make one correct and the other wrong; nor will they be sufficient to explain how one answer is correct and the other wrong.
To me, actual freedom, understood as being free from unjust coercion, is more important than "user freedom", understood as having a wide range of services and goods to choose from.

In this case, the former is being attacked in order to achieve the latter.
I don't care much about the automation itself, but in general having control over your lights is ludicrously nice. It helps me a lot with maintaining my sleep schedule, which in retrospect I suppose my favorite part does rely on automation which is a light alarm.

But we'll generally have very very dim lights on throughout the early evening into bed time which makes it much easier for me to fall asleep.

Waking up to office-white-lights will also really wake you up.

Also: parties. It's fun to be able to do nice pink and blue lights or a low-lit candle-like scenario, depending on the vibe.
Vital email functions are available through many SMTP/IMAP clients anyway.
>They didn't care for the welfare of workers in general so much as they were looking out for themselves

This! It's the same deal with white collar workers complaining about AI just now, while ignoring previous automation, when it benefited them.
it's already been announced by a google rep that they are going to stop showing these results.
The problem is that the phrase "a valid concern" would lead me to think "something doctors and parents should consult on (also with the child themself!) and determine if there is cause for alarm, and if so decide collaboratively what the proper course of action is." Sure! Of course! That's what you do with valid health concerns, right?

What it actually means is "something for which social workers will decide whether to take your child away from you for". That's a pretty big escalation from a "valid concern", but one that happens if "the system" decides you are a target. "A valid concern" is in that case a code word for "credible presumptive evidence of child abuse". A child being underweight is a valid thing to be concerned about, it is not on it's own credible presumptive evidence of abusive parenting, no.
Actually, that brings up a potential problem for me because sometimes I do click the eyeball icon to show my password to myself.

This attack might be too slow as long as I hide the password within 30 seconds, but future versions of the attack might be fast enough to capture multiple characters, especially if the malicious website hosting the iframe knows which pixel positions will be occupied by the password box.
The new UI is such a downgrade. It took the app from feeling well made to feeling like your average bloaty SaaS app. I’m gonna have to figure out an alternative once 1PW 7 is no longer supported.
I have a Govee brand humidity sensor that works great. Bluetooth only (there are wifi models too iirc, Bluetooth was fine for my purpose), connects instantly & reliably, no account or other bs.

I haven’t gone in much for home automation so can’t speak to how well it integrates with anything else, but this thing at least works great.
Can My Employer Make Me Return to the Office?
The only overhead I see in theory is the additional process's kernel resources, which are negligible. Wherever you'd normally write to memory for some unsafe code to mutate, you instead write to the shared memory. Kernel is doing the same virtual mem protection either way, only in this case it opens up access to the child process too.

Am I missing something else, like shared mem being slower? Maybe the inability to share CPU caches?
The problem of pure wasm is we get a closed source web with unblockable ads.
Subsistence farming would not take 18hr days if peasants were not required to spend the first 12hrs farming cash crops for the landlord, as the price for allowing them to farm actual food on his second rate plots.
I'm not sure if it was intended, but for some reason I read your comment as if it was a poem?!
Nope, my parents had 20 things installed on their Android devices because they clicked yes to something.

I insist on the fact that you should respect the end user’s choice of platform and not try to change the platform to earn your 30% more. If you really hate it - don’t develop for Apple. I mean at the end of the day you can tell your customers buy an Android phone and see what they prefer - your app or the Apple eco system.
If you can do the hard part, then do all the easy parts and leave amazon out of the equation.
I guess I should finally upgrade to Ventura now that Sonoma is out.
Am I right in that keychain only really works in safari? Or are there recent changes?
I wish they’d just get iOS, the iPhone, and macOS or whatever it is called now all the same. Today I should be running iOS 15 on an iPhone 15 talking to macOS 15.
While I really do like memory LCDs... AFAICT they are and always have been totally unavailable at actually-high DPI (they hover around 200 and lower, which is noticeably below eink's 300, and far below modern phones at 400+) and large sizes (digikey has them up to a whopping 4 inches).

That's a complete deal-breaker for much beyond watches and small shopping labels. The biggest is just barely larger than my cheap thermostat's display. It's a great choice for watches (minus perhaps the low DPI), but not even slightly an option for ebook readers or even phones, much less larger signage or wall-art like https://hackaday.com/2021/04/11/a-fresh-e-ink-newspaper-deli...

I doubt that has much of anything to do with the technology, but you can only buy and experiment with things that exist.
There’s already about 15 pages of nonsense when you set up a phone, I don’t think one tap to choose your browser is going to change much.
Deconstructing Go Type Parameters
Aren’t most light sources (unintuitively) measured by the light output of an equivalent incandescent light source? I certainly don’t expect a light labeled as a “40 watt” using anything close to that.
No, I think F2P is just another way to fund game development. There's no indication that it will cannibalize premium games. So everyone can play games the way they want to play them.

Mobile gaming created an entirely new sector and doubled the total revenue of the games industry. It did it by finding people who weren't playing games, and giving them games to play. I think a lot of the panic around microtransactions is a response to the demographics shifting away from a small group of self-identifying gamers, and investors paying proportionate attention to the demographic trends.

The two markets of course influence each other, but I view that as a net good which drives innovation in both spaces. Nobody is forced to spend money on video games, so if you don't like a game's business model you don't have to spend any money on it. If others agree, it will flop; and the next generation of games will take history into account.
They made a big, internal to-do of "commitment" to London for WhatsApp. Maybe it's still true.

They still act like they're swimming in billions upon billions, frittering $10's of said billions a year on GPUs and datacenter buildouts without a specific purpose or need, while simultaneously cutting back on perks, making the work environment more worker-hostile, eliminating fixed desk assignments, closing eateries, RTO, and doing layoffs.
Reading the owner/technical manual for a claw machine can be a real eye-opening experience.
I wrote a Shortcut that triggers this when I enter work mode, which triggers automatically on a schedule. So, during work, my phone is a more boring grayscale device with a limited set of apps readily available -- super helpful for reducing distractability. When work mode exits, so does grayscale!
> You can't just go cook lamb any old way and think it will be delicious.

Maybe I'm just Italian, but if you just toss a lamb/mutton shank into your otherwise boring red sauce (which you were already cooking low and slow, right?) it goes a long way.
I can hide any private API usage already for normal store submission. If I am the tiniest bit careful, I will get away with most private stuff that is still not protected by the kernel using entitlements. For example,

https://github.com/LeoNatan/LNExtensionExecutor

This is a framework I obfuscate API usage, and is present in several App Store apps that I know of.

Apple security comes from kernel hardening, not static API analysis.
Wait the Tomcat and the F-14 are the same?

Reminds me of getting horribly confused reading War and Peace h til I realized one character had like fifty names.

Technically it's the use of the GPU for rendering the SVG that's the issue. Perhaps even without GPU rendering there'd be similar side channels available, but at least they'd be "software visible" (to use the words of the paper) rather than "software transparent."

Something I didn't understand from my skimming of the paper, though: does this side channel only apply to windows/iframes within the same browser? Why couldn't it apply to windows of different apps? If the GPU rendered a frame buffer somewhere on the screen, then is that exposed by the attack, regardless of whether it's within the browser? e.g. could Chrome.app identify some pixels from a PDF open in Preview.app?
> cooking lamb well is an art and takes alot of practice. You can't just go cook lamb any old way and think it will be delicious. If you want to learn how to cook lamb well then focus on slow cooking and slow roasting

Hold on, are we talking about lamb or mutton?

Lamb is extremely forgiving. It's tender and has plenty of flavor. It's fine to cook lamb hot and fast like a steak, or low and slow like basically any meat. If you treat lamb like oddly shaped beef or pork you'll be fine.

Mutton is not forgiving, needs to be treated like its own unique thing, and braising it should be your first instinct. If that's what you meant and it was just a typo, I totally agree with you.
I mean, what do you think the installer is doing anyway?
The keychain app gets you out of settings, though leaves much to be desired.
Yeah, there is no risk spending billions on fulfillment centers. Amazon has never blown billions by spending too much on that.
nixos symlinked world sounds about like sco open server.

I get that the actual ugly details are hidden away behind automation in the form of the special dsl and highly specified framework/structure, and maybe sane enough to use, and maybe adresses some pain point or two better than other arrangements.

Just remarking that I've seen 'everything is a symlink' before, and it's the exact opposite of a new idea.

Whether that means nix shares a bad idea with another bad system or this was one of the good ideas from an arguably successful system (for a time) I won't try to say.
It definitely reduced the amount and complexity of work there is to do. So, in a static market, it reduced the number of workers. It's hard to see in tech which is an expanding market.
Not to high-jack but I too would like to lament (and hopefully humor HN) about "smart home" gadgets and the companies behind them.

I bought a "Cync" bulb from GE and had to reset it, I couldn't for the life of me. This is their official video on how to do it:

https://youtu.be/1BB6wj6RyKo

You have to repeat a sequence with near perfect timing, that takes about a minute straight. Since we moved, I had to do this for 4 lights and wanted to tear my hair out, lol.

I've found that for whatever reason, "smart home" stuff is some of the worst designed and managed products out there.
Not sure whether you're fishing for a response or that naive...
Any number of security warnings for Android have come out specifically mentioning sideloading being a vector for malicious or invasive spyware. Much more than any curated store, and even then the historical track record isn't stellar.
> or "crazy unsubstantiated rumor" depending on how you say them.

“How it was said” was literally presented as unsubstantiated rumor. It’s not worth reflecting that when someone says “I heard a rumor that X…” it sounds like an unsubstantiated rumor. It’s just the basic structure of English language.
In Soviet economy virtually all people had a job though. In communist Poland where I grew, safe for the years of martial law in mid 80s everyone who wanted a job had one.
Just wanna say, that's pretty great API design :)
And many car manufacturers, right?
USPS has mailed me countless tests and I have thrown them in dustbin. Not sure why taxpayer money is being wasted on this crap. As long as tests are available at reasonable price in the market, only poor people should be getting them from government and even there relying on local city administration is ideal.

This USPS business looks like scam to me.
You can get ZigBee with any number of adapters (I'm using HUZBZB-1), and Matter right now is not worth it anyway.

I bought a SkyConnect adapter to support HAOS, but it's probably going to be unused for at least another year.

Next thing I'm waiting for: Apple removes the useless Stage Manager "feature" (it's not a feature, it's a bug).
“meat musk” is perfect!
I'm not so sure it can be simple, reliable, and future proof, at least not in the consumer space.

Everyone is chasing the lowest price, and it has to compete with existing solutions that are cheap, like just putting a filter on a white bulb, or installing a dimmer switch. What these products are offering is convenience, but not fundamentally new life experiences. So they can't charge a lot.

Meanwhile, they have to interact with an absolutely enourmous range of interfaces. The wi-fi router, the phone, the electric service itself, etc. And the user has high expectations for ease of use (after all, it is a light bulb, it should be simple!) while needing good security (it is your home after all, if you can't be safe in your home then where can you be safe?)

A simple experience with a wide range of interfaces at low cost has almost never been successfully done. Even Apple can't do it; they offer ease of use, but in a limited ecosystem and at a premium price.

So these products are fundamentally flawed and they probably can never be fixed. This industry is fundamentally not viable until someone comes along and solves the interface issue or until people accept paying a lot of money for these kinds of things, and even in that case it would probably be a reseller performing a home install then providing API access to these services, which is only one step away from home-as-a-service.

And I personally do not think I could tolerate a home-as-a-service. But many young people or students might like that just fine.

They replied to the comment which said this and wrote, "I see no downsides." I don’t see where they admitted to the downsides.
If ever there was a case for a “per release” patreon that would be one.
1) yes
2) yes, the experience from the job I was laid off from helped me get a new job.
3) not at all
They leased the majority of a mixed-used building in downtown Austin that would've been 500k sq ft, the largest tenant by far of any company in the city. They quietly backed out of that. ($20M/mo easily) The most expensive part would've been staffing it: $20-60M/mo depending on the type of staff.

Static analysis is very easy to be fooled. iOS security comes from its kernel enforcement by means of entitlements, which you can’t easily break.
Correction to parent post: Pocket Stars and Windows Mobile were developed in early 2000s, not 1990s.
The cynic in me says it's a "Sugar Daddy" badge.
Exactly. I could never get rpmbuild to do exactly what I wanted on RH/Fedora/SuSE but Portage on Gentoo was amazing.
Wahoo was great, the benefit to the forced app signup was that they deleted all the device settings
I think a lot of people would still "sign up for" mRNA therapeutics that had the benefits that the COVID vaccines did.
Yes, security should always be implemented by technical means by the platform. Those hoping that alt-app stores means a complete free for all will be disappointed. But many things just cannot be restricted just by technical means, and instead relies on policy, and the threat of Apple kicking you off the platform, to enforce restrictions.

A trivial example is the review prompts. It's policy that you must use the standard iOS APIs to trigger (which limits the frequency it's shown to the user). An app technically could implement their own UI (and im sure some still slip through), and there's no real way to prevent this, but being against the rules carries risks.
There was no App Store when the iPhone came out so not really a valid point
They also lag on the dataplane side do they not? AFAIR nvidia bought the main (remaining?) infiniband supplier and seamlessly integrated it with all their data center offerings? Cue Jensen Huang "the data center is the computer"?
I really, really like your idea with Evidence. I long for a mode in Metabase that’s like a “notebook mode”, where the main focus is narrative and it’s ornamented with viz, rather than the other way around.

I want to be able to publish this notebook when I’m done and then be able to hand that around, the same concept that you’ve built Evidence around. I think that’s a very good idea, so thanks.

The main thing keeping me from switching is that Metabase’s query builder and visualizations are too good for 95% of my work. It’s hard to picture going back to writing _all_ the SQL.
Yikes! Applying "all related" answers to the original question is mostly nonsense unless you're lucky.
Why is "sudo" emphasized so heavily, anyway? Running as your ordinary user, that shell script can send someone your session cookies, authenticate with your SSH agent, and really anything that you can do. Sure, maybe not running as root protects the integrity of the OS and prevents some persistent keylogging attacks, but honestly... you don't need a keylogger when you just grab the cookies, or install your own binaries farther up in the path (good old ~/.local/bin/firefox instead of /usr/bin/firefox).

Frankly, being anything other than super paranoid is almost a little reckless.

Also, shit-talking Home Assistant is a pretty weird take. I wouldn't write it in Python configured half in YAML and half in SQLite either, but ... not having to write it myself was the fun part.
Please buy an Android then. Why insist on giving your hard earned money to someone who does not care about your requirements ?
I don't understand, I thought you had to take initiative to order them? At least that's what I've done... I've never received them unprompted.
Not to be confused (as I was) with FOB, free on board, a term in commercial sales law, especially wrt international shipping: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FOB_(shipping) I wouldn't be surprised if the similarity in acronyms isn't coincidental as in the abstract there's some conceptual, if not legal, overlap, and Amazon may have been aiming for something that read like authoritative legalese--the legal department must "always be selling" no less than the sales department. But neither would I be surprised if it was coincidental.
I respect a divergent opinion.
This is quickly becoming a problem with a lot of Home Automation.

Too many companies are finally realizing that thanks to matter their products are basically going to become commodities. No longer is there an advantage to sticking within a single platform to avoid hubs (ok so maybe "no longer" is jumping forward a few years but still, the steps are happening now).

The part that really frustrates me, my Hue devices are the most reliable devices in my home automation behind my HomePods. On a fairly regular basis my other home automation devices will just randomly not work, loose connection, or just generally have issues. I am not exactly itching move away from that reliability and I feel like Phillips Hue likely knows this.

This includes Ikea when I tried their smart tech just a couple years ago. It was incredibly unreliable and I do question actually recommending it (that being said, maybe they have gotten better and I would love for someone here to tell me has... it seems kind against Ikea for them to go down a locking down approach?)
Yeah, the industry has settled on it's fine with some caveats.

Even Microsoft has this published for the dotnet install tool:

Microsoft.. The only company I have ever heard mention CRIME and BREACH and invokes their specter in .Net to do awesome things like.. Not let you enable websocket compression in SignalR.
Smart home, dumb manufacturers
Good luck. I called out Logitech for forcing users to log into some bullshit online account to maintain their Harmony remotes, and was attacked by apologists on Reddit (take that for what you will).

A couple months later Logitech shitcanned the entire product line (which I had already returned after discovering their scam), and screwed all the apologists. I wonder what they think today... if they even do.

Don't underestimate the cognitive dissonance (and resulting apologism and shilling) that you'll face when you call out defects and scams in someone's pet product or belief system. And yes, it happens right here on HN too often as well.
