I feel that the presence of this term here means that HN is the successor to the venerable Slashdot. Kind of comforting that there’s a straight line from the site that I spent so much time on 20 years ago, to this one.
At the end of the day, Google is an advertising company and every other service they offer is just transient experimentation to either harvest more information on its subjects or for no reason at all.

There's no way to explain their motivations. Just have to get out of dodge.
Huh, I've never once thought of Satanic as representing that.
I had zero idea, but that makes sense I guess. Bots eventually ruin everything not adequately handling them.

The main point I got from the OP was that mutton (meat from sheep over 2 years old) and lamb (meat from sheep younger than 1 year) have pretty different taste and other culinary qualities as meat. In particular, that mutton is much stronger flavored and tougher, lamb more tender and delicately flavored.

Yet the comments section is full of people treating them interchangeably, replying to someone who talked about mutton by talking about lamb, or vice versa, or talking about "lamb/mutton". I'm not sure if the commentors disagree with the OP and think it's over-stating the difference? Or just aren't really paying attention.

I (who live in the USA) have had plenty of lamb, but have never had mutton. So I can't say from personal experience.

But this is one of those HN articles where the comments section seems entirely divorced from the article.
As a New Zealander I remember there was a whole thing in the mid-1980s where our Trade Minister (Mike Moore) was trying to promote "Lamb Burgers" to be sold in the US.

At the time NZ sheep farmers were having a slump in sales and the theory was if every America ate one Lamb Burger a year...

Not sure how serious it all was but Moore was closely identified with it, it's mentioned in several of his obituaries
> It is not "just scripting ABC",

I'm not downplaying the fact that yosys is a logic synthesizer - it's valuable and it's the only one of its kind. But that doesn't change the fact that many of the steps are just piping ABC or nextpnr or whatever and doing it using cpp. See https://github.com/search?q=repo%3AYosysHQ%2Fyosys%20ScriptP.... And like I know this not tangentially but because I tried use yosys but not all of yosys and it was impossible to decompose it.

> No offense but this isn't a SaaS service where the sausage machine is hidden; and most RTL engineers, nor I, want to install some giant annoying shitware ML stack into a python virtualenv to run Nextpnr. Just to be clear, if yosys uses some magical ML reinforcement learning, or doesn't, I don't care. It would be great if it did and it got a bajillion % higher QoR. But I don't want actually using the thing to be a giant pain in the ass.

I'm with you on every instance of this trueism except here, where runtime of the tool is not just important it's absolutely critical for DSE.

> Most open source software engineering isn't about being Super Epic

Again I agree with you in every other instance except here - just like LLVM and gcc can't be just oss, they need to be nuclear weapons grade software in order to have won mindshare (and investment) away from commercial compilers so does yosys.

So you can take me to task for being naive and arrogant but the reality is that the decisions made by yosys prevent further serious investment by anyone that's not playing with toys.
Is this in Passwords or the Notes app?

I tried Notes app with the Lock but it requires another password while I want it all under the FaceID/iCloud password like the settings-passwords

Is there a secure note option in passwords - mine all require username web url and password.
It's always a signal that you're on to something when you get a bunch of pedantic rebuttals like this. Attacking the central argument isn't possible, so they nitpick.
If we assume for the sake of argument that a particular customer would knowingly buy a computer from an OEM who pre-installed Netscape on it, then the OEM is the user of the computer before the end user buys it. Why should Microsoft be allowed to prohibit such a pre-installation? For security, maybe, but that probably wasn't Microsoft's motivation.
Users in a duopoly are getting coerced to a degree far more important to individual freedoms than the largest publicly traded corporation.
Oh that’s only on MacOs not iOS, right?
I believe they mean that the window of time in which it's delicious is narrow.

(Because a rack of lamb is fairly thin compared to many meats we roast)

To which I would say: meat thermometers are an amazing gift.
I still turn my lights on with a switch on the wall. I always wondered why people wanted to turn on their lights with an app, but maybe there's some life quality thing I'm totally missing out on?
Fair enough I need to look more into it. Thanks for the info
How do you support layers without overlayfs?
Wood doesn’t spontaneously rot at a rate that is problematic. This new enzyme requires temperatures of around 70C to operate. Any microbe that does evolve to eat plastic will probably need some specific living conditions. They are unlikely to be so efficient and universal that we see plastic rotting while we are using it.
I bought a Miku baby monitor because it had the features I wanted but didn’t require a subscription. It was pretty expensive ($399).

Then Miku sold to another company (they either filed or were planning on filing for bankruptcy), and the first thing the new company did was send a letter demanding $10 a month to keep using most of the monitor’s features.
The difference in all the examples you’ve given here is that none of the people involved are journalists.

If you work on PRISM leaking its existence does nothing for your career. Quite the opposite in fact. But if you work for a newspaper and leak a massive story it’ll be very beneficial for your career.
I will posit a simple and maybe frivolous reason --

"Mutton" just doesn't sound like an appealing name for a meat. There's something offputting about the sound of it. Or maybe it has just become so, given that it's associated in all our experience with "old" animal meat. Although, by that logic, maybe "haggis" also just has a branding problem.

This is basically https://xkcd.com/1200/

Anyone who really complains about curl | sudo is just doing it for nerd points, because I guarantee you they happily install all sorts of other software without "vetting" it.

Absolutely. And just to be sure, I also check file checksums, which I've downloaded from same server over the same connection.
Yeah, it does server-side rendering.

I use spinneret for a flashcard / boggle website I made. It's nice and compact compared to writing the HTML by hand or using something like Jinga2. You get the full power of a programming language (the same one you're using for other stuff) to generate your html.

I don't do anything fancy. I just use regular Javascript and CSS, though I do want to look into some of these other technologies.
Breed really matters, as is said in the article. My wife and I raise Katahdins, a meat breed (one of the few sheep that shed instead of having a fleece that needs to be sheared off).

We've eaten three year old ewes, which is pretty solidly mutton. They taste, to my palate, exactly like lamb does.

It's my understanding that the taste comes from lanolin, which is of course the thing that makes wool so awesome. If you have a wool breed on your hands, lanolin will be higher.
It's not the first time SVG has caused problems. I've had it disabled for a while.
MS Edge uses Blink under the hood, which is a Chrome fork. The monoculture is all but here, save for dwindling Firefox and Webkit. Everything else that's popular is effectively a Chrome skin, or if you like, Linux distributions packaging up stuff around the kernel (the rendering engine).
Wait, please define "device" as used in that sentence. Not counting bulbs, right?
When you’re very infected then even the most casual of swabs will pick it up. The OP is instead addressing that doing it in the very front of your nose may not get sufficient viral load to detect lower levels of infection. This is doubly problematic when combined with different newer strains (omicron for example was a big step down in test sensitivity), for which tests are not as sensitive towards by virtue of being designed for the OG strain.

My technique is to actually swab the back of my throat, then as deep in my nose as I can tolerate - I’m usually actually running out of stick on the swab before it’s too deep for me. I figure I want to grab any possible trace of virus if it’s there and I’d far prefer a false positive that disappears a day later than a false negative.
I'm seeing cynical comments here. There's actually value here.

For example, "Vision: A compelling view of the company's future and a description of how someone could contribute to its accomplishment.". Does your org do that? I've been places that do, and places that don't, and as a non-leader it's really nice to know what I'm actually working toward.

And "Gratitude: Expressions of appreciation in the form of thanks, deference, or a recognition of indebtedness.". I've been places where leaders don't say thanks, and where they send a handwritten card. It makes a difference.
100 oligarchs can own everything and trade among each other to fulfill their megaprojects. Does a pharaoh care who built his pyramid? Or spaceship?
The workers will still be needed to laugh at their suffering. Unless robots get better than humans even at that.
I really don't understand smart home hardware companies forcing communication through the cloud over local control. Do they think that they can get you hooked on the cloud and then charge you a monthly fee to turn on your lights?

Plus, they just pushed a Matter update which I think allows for local control. This seems like a good way to get people to sign in to setup matter and then never open the Hue app again.
Companies do illegal things all the time, particularly if the people charged with enforcing this are inclined to look the other way, which the Biden DOJ and Labor Department are.
It's not about sound quality, it's about the fact that I don't want to have to carry a dongle. Nor do I want to use Bluetooth earbuds, which are just worse in every way (since I have no problem with wires). Moreover, a 3.5mm headphone jack is a universal audio interface, or was up until Apple decided to "think different" and other manufacturers followed them like lemmings. It's incredibly useful, and was jettisoned without a real alternative.
I've been pretty happy with the Kasa switches and bulbs. They have a cloud component, but you don't have to use it to control them. The protocol has been figured out and is a simple socket payload (I wrote a command line app to prove it to myself), and of course they are controllable by HA.

They're 2.4G Wifi, but I can't get too bothered about that. I've optimized my coverage with multiple, decent APs, so it seems silly not to use it. I'm jaded on Z-Wave after I had multiple GE Z-Wave switches just burn out on me after a couple years. I've also retired my Samsung Smartthings and Hue hub, and I don't want to buy another hub for a few lights. I also can't see paying $30+ for a light switch; the Kasa units are frequently on sale for a reasonable $10.

We should encourage more price wars. They are good for customers.
I generally agree with you, and I suspect the person you're replying to might as well. The problem they had was with replacing people without compensating them, but you're proposing basic income, which takes care of the compensation part.
I don't use any of this home automation junk, but this kind of begs the question - why would such an app need root access to your devices in the first place?
And what does OP think a ton of commercial installers do? Half of them just download an archive and unpack it.
I’m far from convinced that the existence of even far future ai would be a problem. But, we certainly aren’t close to that now. We are instead building good generators for DND campaigns and searching through sales decks.

I think it is highly possible that even getting close would yield really great outcomes for humans. Better medicine, better travel, better understanding of complexity.

We should get closer to the end before we theorize about the finish line. Remember the classic line about not needing more than 640k of ram.
BMW now hides features behind signing into their absolutely atrocious online "app store." When I first got my car and was excited about exploring the features, I went through the incredible pain of logging into my account by typing my email and password with that little knob, and then one day it just logged me out and wanted me to do it all over again, and I can't be bothered so I just dismiss the dialog whenever I see it. So the upshot is they've created a set of features that aren't worth the trouble of the awful UX (and potential privacy issues), plus an occasional nag to remind me of that fact.

You also can't get a software update without installing their terrible mobile app (and logging in), so I take it to the dealer and make them do it.
What about when you already purchased a product and an automatic update moves functionality, possibly core functionality, behind their app wall?
The only choice is Apple or Android. That's hardly a choice. Governments need to force companies which have too much power.
The BestBuy Insignia brand smart switches died years ago (they shut the clowd servers down and sent me gift cards for the purchase price, nice) but they keep working with HomeKit every day.

Hopefully I can just block my Hueshit at the router and they'll keep doing what they do, otherwise off to goodwill.
And they took millions of years to evolve and depend on microbes living in their gut to digest the wood. They have to keep those microbes in a protected environment to allow them do do the digestion. They aren’t just digesting wood out in the open.
It is vanishingly small relative to the false negative rate. It’s safe enough to say that if a test says you have it, you can act as if you it.
Quite literally a first world problem.

Dose anyone else just feel embarrassed reading articles like this (especially on the top of HN)? We really are having the best of times in 2023 when not able to changing the colors of light bulbs w/o logging in is a, seemingly, big deal. Or it really is just the end game before the collapse.
Unless your name is Elon.
And never having account takes 0 seconds.
Understatement of the year. I am sure there are some places where being caught doing something like that (without authorization) could result in one of those “my hands are tied, I have to fire you” situations.

Think places where security is a big deal, like finance, military, aerospace, critical infrastructure etc.
Once you’re kind of settled there take a look at NodeRED. Integrates really cleanly with Home Assistant and for most of the kinds of people on HN that are already technically inclined, it makes much more complex automations and integrations a piece of cake.
Wink tried this and with little success.
In the past I've lambasted some of these collections of wisdom. There is a certain point in a man's life where he feels he wants to write down a collection of hard-learned thoughts and experiences. These often appear on HN. Most often they are pretentious.

For whatever reason, I liked this one. I can't say it is a better collection than others that I have pretty harshly criticized. I can't say it is better written. I can't say I agree with more or less in this list. I just liked this one.
I can afford wireless earbuds fine. I like them less. They offer no utility, and in fact are a downgrade (since they have to be charged/can easily be lost), AND I have to pay more for the privilege. Why on earth would I ever choose to pay more for worse functionality?
Ring doorbells, because the microphone heard the citizen say the N-word and locked him out of the Amazon account.

Back then, we thought legal questions about discrimination silly - if the baker won't bake cakes for lesbians, who cares, there are dozens of bakers in town who are not silly, why fight with the one who is, especially since the only recourse you will get is a birthday cake.

But now with the app monopolies it's different. If Lyft bans you over a justified chargeback and Uber bans you over another justified chargeback you are going to have a problem.
Unexpected vaginal bleeding and Covid-19 vaccination in nonmenstruating women
The article is talking about mutton as different than lamb. A thing that most of the discussion thread seems to have missed, presumably having a pre-existing notion that lamb and mutton are synonyms and not making it past the title?

> Mutton has less tender flesh and a stronger flavor than lamb, which comes from sheep that are less than a year old. (Meat from sheep aged one to two years is generally called “yearling” in the US, and “hogget” elsewhere around the world.) That stronger flavor lends itself to curries, stews and “value-added” products such as spiced sausages, says Wortman, “so most of our mutton goes into value-added products or into specialty ethnic markets at this point.

But also, no, lamb I think lamb was not as popular in the USA in the 1990s as American sitcoms apparently gave you the idea of, although it wasn't unheard of. It's probably less popular now than it was then.

Mutton has been pretty unheard of in the USA since the 1950s, as discussed in teh article.
This story is stupid. Meanwhile, the BBC covered-up the late Jimmy Saville's rape of disabled children for decades.
macOS or MacOS but never MAC OS or MACOS. MAC is an acronym for Media Access Control (as in: MAC address), Mac (or mac) is an abbreviation of Macintosh.
Very nice. A next step might be to strip telemetry and remote control with the Ameliorated project, https://ameliorated.io/
Look Dang, your forum, your rules. You do great job moderating and been patient/understanding/fair over the years so I'm not going to appeal just respond.

I've been throttle to 5 replies for years so I end up 50/50 random topic posting and PRC geopolitics discussion. I either run of comments in a few minutes of browsing/commenting shooting the shit on casual threads if interest or exhaust ability to respond in any serious discussion chain on PRC which I like to discuss in depth. Of which I bow out when attitude turns unproductive. Like how often do my comments get flagged? Without metrics you have, my feeling is if you look response / score to my comment, up/down votes tend to cancel out, aka it's controversial, aka it's middle ground and not flamebaity. At least I hardly get flagged. Some people like my comment, some don't. But the people who don't like it, really don't for obvious reasons. That's life.

As for this particular comment being flamebait, politely disagree. I'm a Canadian commenting on an embarassing Canadian geopolitical shitshow that is directly related to recent Indian-Canadian drama with overlapping concerns for extradition relating to Canada's structural issue of harbouring diasphora with problematic backgrounds. Yeah I shared a quippy article from Beaverton, a Canadian satire site commenting on the situation because it's funny. Joked about Canadian establishment wanting this problem to go away. Which they do. It's crass humor but also relevant to topic about CANADIAN politics, which no one has ever accused me of being nationalist for. Like of all comments to ban my account on for nationalist battle, this is the most ridiculous/unrelated.
Are you referring to the "exclusive advisory locks by default" policy it carried over from MS-DOS? If so, yes, I do feel like that's the worst architectural decision of Windows.

Ultimately, it's what makes software updates as hard as they are there: Just being able to do an "apt-get update" with applications open without anything exploding was a true revelation the first time I used a Unix.
> > full disclosure: I work for YosysHQ

> let me take this opportunity to ask a question about something that makes absolutely zero sense to me: why did yosys insist on sticking with tcl over some more modern/well-known/familiar scripting language? yes everyone has their favorite tcl scripts for vivado or intel or whatever but none of them are transferrable to yosys irrespective of that fact that yosys supports tcl.

First: PYosys exists as Python bindings for Yosys, so you can in fact use a more modern scripting language for this.

Second: even if the Tcl scripts are not transferrable, a lot of our users do still have Tcl experience, and that transfers if nothing else.

But personally? For a lot of tasks you don't need a scripting language. If you want to turn a set of Verilog files into a JSON to pass to nextpnr-ecp5, that's `yosys -p "synth_ecp5 -abc9 -top top -json design.json" *.v` and there is neither Tcl nor Python involved here.

> further more, why is yosys itself basically scripting of ABC and nextpnr and etc using cpp instead of again using just some reasonable scripting language to connect the pieces?

Yosys is not simply some scripting around ABC: you need to parse input files, store this in an intermediate representation (RTLIL), elaborate and monomorphise the input structure, perform optimisation and logic minimisation on it; you need to map large structures like memories, hard multipliers and carry chains (ABC can't do that), legalise flop types and only then can you pass the logic to ABC. Once you get that logic from ABC, you need to turn it into cells that tooling recognises.

That the "script passes" we have that most front-end users use are so simple is because the complex logic is packed into neat passes to call.

> > multi-electrostatic placer

> um why? dreamplace exists? https://github.com/limbo018/DREAMPlace

We're aware of DREAMPlace, however: DREAMPlace itself is for ASIC applications, so you'd want to use DREAMPlaceFPGA instead, which is...limited to a simplified Xilinx architecture or whatever partial FPGA Interchange Format support they have. We consider speed a feature, and having to deserialise the target device and netlist into FPGA Interchange Format in the hopes that DREAMPlaceFPGA can understand it is...not fast.

So instead we're working on our own multi-electrostatic placer which can more tightly integrate with nextpnr than something using DREAMPlace[FPGA] could.
By all accounts, the dodo was delicious. I imagine the same was true of mammoths, giant sloths, etc.

Ask HN: Why don't social media apps allow users to pay to remove ads?
The number of ads on Instagram is insane, and I would happily pay (more than they make off me as a user with ads) to get rid of them and yet I don't see an option to do so. Why not?
Reminds me of the "Cinco Phone" skit from Tim and Eric.
