You're missing the whole picture. Branch.io was actually quite popular among a number of big app developers. A big part of what they did was deep linking into your app, and I may have the timing on this wrong but I think it was before iOS or Google had any deep linking functionality released. For example, you see this all the time on normal Android searches now, where if I have an app already installed and I search for, say, "Miami real estate", since I have the Realtor app already installed, Google's results come back and say "App installed", and when I click on the result it opens the Realtor app to Miami.

A big part of Branch's product, IIRC, was their "deep linking through install" functionality. That is, if I search for Miami vacation rentals, and I don't have the app installed, it would just open, say, the realtor.com website for Miami. But there would be a prominent "install app" suggestion, so I could then download the app from the App or Playstore. Importantly (and, again, I may be getting the timing wrong), at that time there was no way to "pass through" a desired landing page after the app was installed. Branch's links allowed that information to be passed through, so when I opened the newly installed Realtor.com it would open right to Miami. I can't remember all the tech details of how they did this but I believe it was some form of device fingerprinting.

Thanks for publishing. From the title was expecting that we'd get the code snippet related to the code itself, rather than the junit where the code failed.

But I guess for such feature to be possible you'd have to pack the source code inside the jar itself.
This looks much better than JSON. That makes it a winner.

Your comment just reminds me of perfect being the enemy of good.
The debt is money owed by the US to itself and foreign buyers of its bonds.

The debt is payable in US dollars. The US has control over how much supply of US dollars there is. The more US dollars, the "cheaper" they are in a foreign currency, but also the lower the value of a US bond in the hands of someone overseas.

So the current US national debt is held mostly by US people. $7T is currently held overseas.

So out of the ~$25T, $7T will be paid back in US dollars to overseas holders.

The rest is paid to US domestic holders. So that's 7/25 * 15 = 4.2% being paid outside of the US, the rest is effectively increasing the money supply inside the US.

The debt has to grow until people stop buying US treasuries when they are issued. Given that the majority of world trade is denominated in US dollars and that US Treasuries are effectively treated as the "risk free" base, and that the US debt is at ~122% of US GDP, that's just over a year's worth of US "income" to pay it back.

The US federal government share of the economy is ~24% (down from 30% at the height of COVID).

As a comparison, Japan's national debt is $9.2T (converted from yen) and is 263% of GDP. Its government share of the economy is ~21%.
It's the opposite, writing software that's any good on a native stack is hell. Electron is easier to write _and_ better, in every way except for memory (and the tendency to write slow stuff in JS... but that's fixable.)

Is there supposed planned support for this on iOS? Seems like it would be counter to Apple's incentives, but I'd love to see it happen.

I have the same phone, and the main culprit is the connectors. The audio jack connector has gone a few years ago, now the USB-C is getting worse - I need to sometimes wiggle the cable to connect the charger. If I use a headphone then the smallest motion might disconnect it. This is the only reason why I'm considering getting a new phone - battery is still around 75% capacity (after 6 years of daily use!), otherwise still performant enough, runs any apps I use without a problem.
That's an excellent and even-handed take on a complex topic. Thanks for your thoughtfulness!
Inflation is caused by every part of the economy at once.
It is the oil in capitalism.
Not profit.
Bust those Corporate Megamunching Companies that sit and profit from rent seeking.
They are the inflation.
Without that oil, capitalism becomes stale corrupt and not inclusive. Raise prices when you earn another dollar, because they own the store cross the street too.

But small companies get bought.

And Washington is 100% aware that people do crack. That doesn’t mean we don’t have a systematic law enforcement effort to stamp it out. Just because Beijing isn’t squishing every last developer doesn’t mean China hasn’t fundamentally changed since Xi became dictator.

That matter from the other universes seem to pretty well line up with galaxies in our own universe which makes this theory a bit sus. I'd expect at least some of them to be scattered at random places, whose gravitational lensing effect we should be able to observe.
I think showing profanities that are said isn’t their main concern. What they do want to avoid is showing a profanity where nothing like it is said, but the speech recognition software errs.

Not showing profanities that are said may just be collateral damage.
Look at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/1773854_Carriers_of... for a PAH spectrum. In context of what queuebert already wrote, it seems to make sense to me.
There are gaping omissions in this article.

There is a need for volatile in portable C programming, in two circumstances:

1. When an asynchronous signal handler modifies a variable that is inspected by the interrupted mainline code (e.g. to set a flag indicating that the signal went off), that variable must be of type "volatile sig_atomic_t". (The article points to some outside discussion by Hans Boehm about this in relation to Unix, but it's not just for Unix; it's in ISO C.)

2. When a function, after saving a context with setjmp(), modifies automatic local variables, and then the context is restored with longjmp(), those variables must be declared volatile, or else they will not reliably have the correct values. (E.g. the longjmp may or may not restore the values which they had at setjmp time, or do it for some of those variables but not others.)

No matter how a C compiler treats volatile, in order to be ISO C conforming, if the program correctly uses volatile in the above situations, it must somehow work. Even if it is useless for anything else: threads, hardware, ...

{
volatile int i = 0;

if (setjmp(jmp_buf) == 0) {
i++;
longjmp(jmp_buf, 1);
} else {
printf("i == %d\n", i);
}
}

Here, the printf should produce i == 1, which is not required if the volatile is removed.

For instance, if i is located in a machine register, and setjmp/longjmp work by saving and restoring registers (or just some registers, including that one), the longjmp operation will restore the value that existed in the register at the time setjmp was called, which is zero.

If that's a problem in a given compiler, even if it has a garbage implementation of volatile, it has to pay attention to the fact that volatile is being used in setjmp code.

> Either they have predictable revenue or the government can cut seats whenever they want.

Say the government agrees to buy 200 planes, so the manufacturer prices the planes in a way that they recoup their development cost (which can be many many billions of dollars), and in the midst of the contract the government decides to say "we don't need more planes" and the manufacturer is screwed.

With "plane as a service" however, should politicians decide to cut delivery of more planes, they can at least recoup their cost with the license fees that apply during the plane's usable life time - it's not like the US government will suddenly go to Eurofighter, and it's not like that there will be much US-based competition in building fighter planes.

In the end there are two problems, the one being that the US government has gone down the drain regarding reliability with multiple shutdowns and a barely avoided default in the last decades and a re-allocation of military budgets looming around the corner, and the other being that there's zero competition to Boeing and Lockheed left so these two companies can milk the government at will.

> take e.g. the drone industry, they are like 10 years ahead of the Western world

These developments started before Xi became dictator. That’s a turning point for China. Today, Chinese drones are no longer a class ahead of their peers. Which is surprising, because they once were.
Your coworkers would prefer you splitting the thing into two microservices communicating over a REST api, aka the 200x slower version.
I also have a domain just for the cool look of my personal email address.

My (family) name has an 'a' in it that I replace with the '@' of the email address, so Rauzy becomes r@uzy. I have the domain "uzy dot me" just for that.

A friend of mine saw this at some point, and decided to use the same trick, except his family name ends with the TLD of a country so he could also use that to (not gonna tell his email address here but, e.g., Grahams would be gr@ha.ms).
You get condensation when you move from a cold environment to a hot one. When your piece of equipment is colder than the surrounding air's dew point.

So you need to worry about condensation, when you take the equipment out of the fridge at the end.

(Where I live now, our dew point is typically at 24C throughout the day. So anything at or below that temperature collects water. That's about 75F.)

Then where is text reflow on zoom? Something easily done on desktop, and done by opera via chromium ebgine, and (crapily) by kiwi.

It's literally a game changer, sonething many want, yet the sheer lack of care and concern for those with vision disabilities, or just older users, is astounding.

Every desktop browser does zoom reflow, and it was removed from chrome just because google wanted to punish website who didn't make proper mobile websites. What a bunch of asshats.

> The NIST elliptic curves that power much of modern cryptography were generated in the late ‘90s by hashing seeds provided by the NSA.

I find this deeply troubling. So the seeds were provided by the NSA and they said "don't worry, they were generated hashing a trivial sentence. Unfortunately we forgot it now, but trust us, it's just Jerry joking about getting a raise, nothing more..."

I can't believe this didn't undergo further scrutiny earlier, and I can't believe the seeds haven't been chosen in a more sensible way, such as combining random seeds provided by different parties with competing interests, also including hardware RNGs, etc...

Of course, you can't make universal claims, because there are enough outliers.

But you can easily talk about averages and about statistical distributions.

Final boss of pay2win
According to Screen Time I am using my phone on average about 1.5 hours a day. I can't imagine a scenario where I would need a "speed dial" function to bring up many different sites at once, in order to do "real work". I use a computer for that.

It's interesting to note that other people have entirely different usage patterns of their phones and actually prefer a small screen to a proper computer.

Not saying either is right/wrong, just curious. How prevalent is this on HN, I wonder?
It’s a hypothetical reality. FTA: “Disease X is a placeholder name adopted by the World Health Organization (WHO) in February 2018 on its shortlist of blueprint priority diseases. It represents a hypothetical, unknown pathogen that could cause a future epidemic or pandemic”

See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disease_X:

Since 2015, the shortlist of less than 10 EIDs has been updated annually and has consistently included widely known names such as Ebola, Zika and SARS (e.g., cause of large-scale infections), and more geographically specific names such as Lassa fever, Marburg virus, Rift Valley fever, and Nipah virus.

“In February 2018, after the "2018 R&D Blueprint" meeting in Geneva, the WHO added Disease X to the shortlist as a placeholder for a "knowable unknown" pathogen. The Disease X placeholder acknowledged the potential for a future epidemic that could be caused by an unknown pathogen, and by its inclusion, challenged the WHO to ensure their planning and capabilities were flexible enough to adapt to such an event.”

Economic freedom is second among the freedoms only after physical safety. With enough money you can buy all the others, and all the others exist primarily to ensure you can be safe and end up with enough money.

This fact is ignored, overlooked, or pooh-poohed by those whose ambitions for society requires a large state.

To maximize human freedom, there's an optimal balance to be struck between a stateless society and one that'll prosecute you as you described. I think the optimum is far toward the "free" end of the spectrum.

It's a bit of both. Aviation cares not just about specific plane, but also interaction with other systems - which in this case in USA are in purview of FCC.

That said, both reasons are involved, though usually mobile networks tend to optimize for signal in horizontal plane in a way that makes them reduce receiving capability from outside of it.

It’s important to understand most things happen for a reason, and as a Brit American living in the US you might be missing some context.

In the area I grew up, it was expected that your first car would be a V8. Hooning was ingrained into the culture. Back then it was a single spinner, no ABS, no airbags, basically no safety features at all. So what would happen is someone would get their licence, grab as many mates as they could, drive as fast as they could, and wrap their car around a tree killing everyone. Every week there was a news story about a multiple fatality P plate accident caused by hooning.

A culture of dangerous driving and dangerous vehicles led to Australia’s anti-hoon laws. It’s not just “ooh silly nanny state laws for no reason”.

I think most senior leadership at Lockheed are engineers and not MBA-types, certainly the CEO has a bachelors of engineering from the Air Force Academy.

This is probably to try reduce the risk of big projects with one payout causing financial pains during down markets. The government is going to budget for a subscription way in advance so you suddenly see monthly income for the next lifetime of the administration.

One business market a lot of people are enviable is furniture on payment plans - you sell an item and get cash every month for the next couple years. Industries where you have such a clear forecast are much easier to plan around (yes, this was something from Business School lol).
I'm going to show my security ignorance by asking two questions

1) is there a simple key destroy function?

2) if somebody gains remote login access to the host with root, noting they can't exfiltrate the keys, can they subvert process chains to claim linkage to the ssh-agent process?

I do like this. I am very tempted. I would like a keypair which tied strongly to me, on this specific laptop.

Another trick for practicing rolling Rs is to replace the r in a word with a d. This works best if the R follows another consonant. So when practicing to roll your R don't say "bread" but try saying "bdead". If you manage to make that bd fast enough it'll turn into a sort of tongue slap that's a single "roll". From there it's simply a matter of practice until you can roll as long as you like.

I think managing antitrust cases is a core competency for Google. They've learned that antitrust isn't scary. The worst that might happen is a fine or a court ordered policy-change.

The fines are the minor cost associated with monopolistic business practices. In this case, the practice is Google's profitable and strategic SE-OEM deals in this case. Those have been litigated before, and win or lose, it is trivially better to continue the practices and just deal with the heat when it comes.
The Ruby/Rails community is one of the best and most friendly I've seen. But the worst part of it, by far is the hate for JavaScript.

Just have a bit of an open mind and try to learn the basics at least, it will make things easier.
There are plenty of examples, yes. Abstract art: a bunch of meaningless color patches in which certain viewers manage to find something "deep". Other examples are audiophiles and sommeliers.
