Currently Apple has been in the process of fixing this, by forbinding any kind of third party code as kernel extensions.

Their long term roadmap being every time a new framework for userspace drivers gets introduced, the developer community is given one year transition period to migrate their kernel extensions to userspace, before that capability is removed from the following macOS version.

End goal being macOS will provide a microkernel like experience for everyone outside Apple's HQ.
I knew someone who used the "it cures depression!" line as an excuse to be addicted to it and go into K-holes 3x a day while it ruined their life.
I use both iOS and iPadOS, and from my experience, it feels like iPadOS is just a superset of iOS features. Thinking about things like multi-window controls, pencil support, etc. The only thing I can think of that iOS has that iPadOS doesn’t is the phone app (but i use the non-cellular version of iPad, so that might be a null point too). I might be wrong, so please someone correct me on this if that’s the case.

With this in mind, I can imagine them just sort of “downgrading” this foldable iPad to iOS mode when folded, and “expanding” to iPadOS feature superset mode when unfolded. Makes perfect sense on a UX level to me. That, however, would involve essentially merging the two OSs (as literally switching between two different OSs, even if it was a smooth switch happening instantly, feels like an extremely janky and awful solution), and I am not sure how feasible it is on a technical level at this point.
We live in a funny timeline. The existing legal system forcing a sale towards the eventual death of twitter is quite hilarious.

Nothing of value was lost; the existing value will be absorbed by other tech companies.
I doubt it because it seems like it would only be an attractive nuisance.

What I mean is that proving a point seems like the likely reason anyone would use it. I mean that seems like the reason you want it. It seems redundant to me, I mean you are able to have your say here in this askhn.

Anyway, the state of affairs you describe is exactly how flagging is supposed to work on HN. It keeps intellectual dumpster fires in the dumpster and away from the tires.

Don’t misunderstand me. I think the criticism of Andreesen’s recent essay is much milder than his horseshit warrants.

It just isn’t very interesting in a preaching to the choir way. And intellectually interesting is the bar for HN.

Good luck.
Easy, your life wasn't threatened in the former, like it usually is in the latter. If I'm not mistaken, most of the charges are associated with the intention to commit a murder, threatening, extortion, etc. and not actual theft.

I assume (and this is completely hypothetical) that if I were to politely rob a grocery store with a smile and a veiled threat (reminds me of that scene with Clooney), I wouldn't have to face a high sentence.
Thanks! Excited to see what you do with it

BrowserBox looks cool, I couldn’t tell from the README what browser engine it uses. Did you build your own?
Why everybody discussing this? It looks obvious that any US citizen at any moment can be reached by FBI with a call for information; there is no countermeasure against it; since Patriot Act was enacted, you'll never know who gave any piece of information to FBI. And now, somehow, "according to anonymous source", BusinessInsider highlights a very specific pro-Trump person and trying to convince readers of something. But what exactly happened?
It's down to around 3k now.
This isn't very sophisticated feedback but the image of the anime schoolgirl(?) on the front page made me leave your site immediately.
Around that timeframe, I was selling computers out of a tiny shop --- one of the salespeople convinced a customer to buy a computer w/ OS/2 which we installed (my only experience w/ it) and then delivered to the customer and set up.

Naturally, they then went to Wal-Mart to buy a printer since it was cheaper there, but the customer called us to ask how to install it --- I was able to do this over the phone by just asking the customer what they saw on the screen and walking them through it (remember kids, this was before Plug-and-Play).

If I could get a copy of OS/2 for Pens, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
How’d you guess my secret plan? ;) Definitely in the cards going forward
I see a synergy between both. An expensive hard to shoot down jet lets out a swarm of drones to take out things like anti air capabilities. The expensive jet will likely be a drone itself.
Ah, now I get it - sorry for adding to the confusion!
Unlikely. The new collection literal syntax exists as the dual of the pattern matching syntax, which itself exists primarily because you can't reference a generic type by name without specifying the type parameters.

If you want to write out Dictionary<Guid, ILookup<int, List<MyEntity>>> instead of having it inferred then go for it I guess.
Yes, there are a lot of people for whom EVs don't yet make sense because they can't charge it overnight where they live (like apartments). And so this really brings home how offbase the parent comment is: maybe they don't own an EV because it doesn't make sense for them to own an EV given how it works for folks in the suburbs, but not elsewhere.
This reminds me or the joke where an economist refuses to look down when told that there’s a $20 bill on the ground: “if there was really $20 on the ground, someone would have picked it up already”.

Seriously though, we’re just getting started studying it, how can we know whether or not this stuff works? There’s a lot of positive anecdotal evidence. We’re not talking about marijuana, and no one ever expected it to solve every medical problem. That particular substance has done a lot of good with people experiencing discomfort, like cancer patients and the elderly, including members of my family.
I'll try to answer some of your questions, but I'm not an accountant.

1. You're trying to understand the money coming in and going out of a business. The organization of this information can make certain events more apparent, like whether you're actually making or losing money (this is not necessarily obvious!) how much 'runway' a company has, roughly how valuable it is (a bit nebulous because a lot more goes into it, but "doing accounting" is the starting point), whether inventory is being stolen more than might be normal, etc.

2. No idea about this guide or the coloring. TBH a spreadsheet conveys the data better than a graph. Double entry bookkeeping was a revolutionary idea though. I think it's fairly easy to forget the full effect of a transaction. I buy a $500 chair for my business, this isn't just $500 less in cash, it's $500 more in some 'furniture' asset. This accounting for every minute detail of what your business owns or owes across even dozens of transactions becomes difficult to track.

1. Look up cash vs. accrual accounting. I think I learned most of this on Khan Academy the first time, but there must be dozens of YouTube videos on it. Basically w/ accounting over time you start adding deferred accounts of different sorts like payables and receivables.

2. No idea. I think when you start getting into these topics there is either just some software solution that follows some standard or allows you to make a choice about how to use the exchange rate, or there is some specific standard set by FASB saying how to do it. But I don't know.

As a simple example of something else, with inventory, businesses can value it a few different ways including FIFO and LIFO (where they value inventory based on the price they paid least or most recently) among others. These choices are often just a preference for the business, or perhaps common for a business' industry. I suspect there might be similar methods of valuation for accounts denominated in different currency, where you could take the amount by exchange rate either on the first or last of the month or by its average rate over the month.
Not sure why you need a website, I play this game every day in a terminal.
In case anyone is interested in the gory details, the priority order of creditors is here:

https://usbankruptcycode.org/chapter-5-creditors-the-debtor-...

Wages are fourth priority, but only up to $12,850 per person (one month's salary at ~150k a year).

The three priorities above wages are child support (not really applicable to corporate bankruptcy i assume), liquidator's expenses, and some mildly complex case i don't really understand. Taxes are eighth, two behind grain farmers and fishermen (lol America).
Wow, Nota looks good. I created something similar I call "Literate Markdown"[1], a play on Knuth's "Literate programming" concept. My focus from the beginning was interleaving computation with explaination. It's been a lot of fun to work with for the last few months, for example to explore ideas around SVG animation[2] or flesh out a novel datastructure/algorithm[3]. Also, its about 500 lines of legible node code that is the entire server and markdown processor with very few dependencies, no transitive dependencies and it does not require a compilation step. By default the server allows no 3rd party resources, or cookies, of any kind because why not. It's MIT licensed on github. I want to move it to an organization repo instead of my personal repo and clean up the repo in the process, which is happening today.

I definitely agree with you though my approach to analyzing activity/preparing detailed reports/etc. is to, at a first step, convert all credits to negative numbers and retain all debits as positive

Further, most charts of accounts are designed in some sane way that you can easily tell what type of account it is (asset/liability/capital/P&L)

The challenge isn't usually managing/interpreting these things but making sure you are interpreting contracts and guidance properly/consistently so you don't upset ownership or your auditors with unanticipated changes/revisions...

Yeah, “cultural fit” is a jolly term used not to give an actual explanation.

In fairness though, they don’t owe you an explanation.
Yeah I guess the company responsible for Java going bankrupt, and having its team getting up to the grips with the new employer might have something to do with it.

Still there are plenty of markets where even .NET doesn't have a presence, like real time embedded systems, factory automation hardware, copiers, mainframes, blueray players, M2M gateways, and an OS being used by 80% of the planet, as Microsoft botched their own when it was already achieving 10% in Europe.

I love both platforms, however .NET cross-platform story still needs a bit of improvement versus where Java has been used in the last 28 years.

And DevTools eagerness to hinder it as means to sell Visual Studio licenses doesn't help.
Curious on the downvotes here considering the detailed discussion that followed…

We can blame him for two decisions which have made Twitter almost unusable:

a) Favouring blue-tick comments and post over those with higher engagement.

b) Paying people to comment which has meant more click-bait, hate etc. content.
The best part about that is that they lose money and customers and possibly gain zealous competitors because of it. Customer profit incentives far outweigh as revenue incentives

Fortunately, that is not the choice here. Strawman reductionism is not very productive, especially when dealing with really important consequences like reducing interactions and genuine connections between people.

'the' local community doesn't exist in true rural areas. It's a mesh of multiple communities that will welcome you if you are interested, regardless of your origins.

I've been in west Virginia for a month, I guarantee that even amongst stereotypical 'rednecks', you'll have a hard time finding someone held back by skin color or origin. I get that I was mostly with hippies and probably in one of the most left-leaning community in the US, but beer, music festivals, farmer's market do not discriminate your political leaning.

In fact, my personal experience say that small-ish towns are way, way more racist and bigoted than rural areas. I'd say the more hierarchical a place is, the more likely you are to find racism, and small towns are the poster child of social hierarchy. Once it's too big, it's too complex to understand who's above who. Rural areas self-organize. Small towns are the worst for 'strangers'.
I personally use bwrap, mainly for a chroot on steroids and to encapsulate things strictly (e.g. unshare namespaces) rather than profiles. In addition to more persistent "wraps" (e.g. ff may write to a wrap-specific XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR) I have an "empty" profile (including some extensions) to fire up in a pure ramfs wrap. That allows to keep my disk clean, to separate customers from each other, to separate work from personal browsing, and in terms of development/debugging to ignore cache- related issues.

That's not very convinient though.
hey - this might be a rather specific use case, but our applications need to run "real-time" and allocation-free - are there any guarantees on that from your side? assuming fixed shapes, pre-allocating everything for the forward pass should probably be possible in theory, but i guess that wasn't really a relevant factor in the design of it all

It's constant time iff you ignore surrogate pairs and Unicode. By that logic UTF8 is constant time if you ignore anything not ASCII because most text is in English.

Saying it works fine if you ignore errors and avoid edge cases is just a clever rephrashing of it worked on my machine.

Plus Emojis are Unicode U+1F600 and above, so even in Western language you are bound to find such "exceptions" .

I believe the SMTP RFC says 1986 or something
“How long, I wonder, has he been constrained to come often to his glass for inspection and instruction, and the Orthanc-stone so bent towards Barad-dûr that, if any save a will of adamant now looks into it, it will bear his mind and sight swiftly thither? And how it draws one to itself! Have I not felt it? Even now my heart desires to test my will upon it, to see if I could not wrench it from him and turn it where I would—to look across the wide seas of water and of time to Tirion the Fair, and perceive the unimaginable hand and mind of Fëanor at their work, while both the White Tree and the Golden were in flower!”

Interesting! I think the way we’ll handle this is the sane way we handle Google 2FA atm: We have you log in and do 2FA manually once, then we save the logged out cookies.

Why the logged out cookies? That way even if someone gets the cookies they still need the password, but the automation can log in with just your password, no 2FA needed.
Pretty sure it would be better if they just fixed the status page.
The letter by Harvard groups:

"We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all the unfolding violence.

"Today's events did not occur in a vacuum. For the last two decades, millions of Palestinians in Gaza have been forced to live in an open-air prison. Israeli officials promise to "open the gates of hell," and the massacres in Gaza have already commenced. Palestinians in Gaza have no shelters for refuge and nowhere to escape. In the coming days, Palestinians will be forced to bear the full brunt of Israel's violence.

"The apartheid regime is the only one to blame. Israeli violence has structured every aspect of Palestinian existence for 75 years. From systematized land seizures to routine airstrikes, arbitrary detentios to military checkpoints, and enforced family separations to targeted killings, Palestinians have been forced to live in a state of death, both slow and sudden.

"Today, the Palestinian ordeal enters into uncharted territory. The coming days will require a firm stand against colonial retaliation. We call on the Harvard community to take action to stop the ongoing annihilation of Palestinians.[1][2]

Well, this features is designed to be used by source generators and not humans.

So as it's intended for being used inside the compilation process, i don't think this is too valid of a concern.
You’ve got a solid point about how I was oversimplifying, but it’s not an “inaccurate picture” it’s just not providing as much detail as is needed to accurately predict real world effects… which unless you’re actually working with radiation environments that where the radiation flux is high enough to have noticeable impact before the hardware becomes obsolete or otherwise gets replaced, it’s not a bad analogy.

I’ve had to talk to plenty of people with various levels of understanding of this, including smart hardware and FPGA types, a few radiation physics people as well, it’s not a well established “discipline” outside of some extremely small teams of engineers responsible for the sort of small batch hardened mil-spec chip fabrication runs that doesn’t really get a lot of public documentation, because while not classified, it’s extremely commercially sensitive since and the things the chips go in are usually classified to some level so there’s not a lot to work with other than some stuff that comes out of detector physics at CERN and a trickle of research papers that have come out over the years from NASA, some old DITC papers, the odd helpfully detailed SBIR grant, and some bits here and there in the occasional physics or semiconductor engineering research papers where someone gets into interesting theoretical modelling or analysis of flown hardware or something like that… it’s a niche within a niche within a niche … and the reason I know anything at all beyond being a space nerd for most of my life that was also a computer geek… is that I decided to create a startup doing space robotics, and it should be no surprise that modern robots worth the cost of putting them in space need a respectable amount of integrated circuits and all sorts of other electronics.

I think your making it seem more complicated than it really is beyond the niche nature of knowledge on the topic. It’s the typical aerospace trade triangle: sophistication vs size and weight vs cost. Except in “miniature” and having implications on software design and development. You can shield the hell out of small sensitive components but that’s going to take up size and add mass, you can get military spec parts that take up barely more room than the normal ones do but that’s going to cost a lot, you can go old school and use simpler circuit designs or larger components but this may save some money on components but increasing the size or weight which will increase the cost to get it into space…

I’m not a fanboy, and I disagree with it. I’m not going to stop using apple products, because what’s the alternative?

For phones I get to choose between apple and google. This pales in comparison to what Google’s doing. So it’s like choosing between a punch in the face and being set on fire. I don’t like being punched in the face, but I have to have a phone.

For work, it’s between Apple and Microsoft. Again, holy mole is there a difference. Do I want this behavior from apple or ads on my desktop and forced patches in the middle of my presentation. I need a computer.

Don’t mistake this for “turning a blind eye.”

Show HN: Practice all the songs you know on your musical instrument
I built this app because I realized that I forgot about a song for a while and therefore got a lot worse at that song.

The app will make you play your lowest-proficiency songs (something you just started learning) daily. Medium-proficiency songs (you can play them, but you have room for improvement) get played several times a week. High-proficiency songs (you have mastered them) are cycled through at the rate of approximately one-two per day.

This app is in no way complete and probably contains bugs. With that being said, I have been daily-driving it in its current state for several days without problems.

There is no Apple version because I would have to buy a Mac and pay Apple $100/year for an iPhone app that I wouldn't even use.

Hopefully you find this helpful!
Interesting! We are more focused on automations as opposed to testing - would you say the same applies there as well?

Also Selenium does have 10x the downloads of Playwright on PyPI - is Python different or do you think that metric is misleading?

There's a certain amount of responsibility for placing a very expensive asset in a scenario where accidents regularly occur; if you drive a supercar, you should probably hold insurance that'll cover excess damage over the typical policy limits for someone who might hit you.
