Because if I put someone's phone number into my Messages app, 100% of people will receive my messages with no issue.

To decide to use WhatsApp or Signal or Telegram etc I would have to find out if they even have that service/app set up or not. And they have to have the app installed and signed in etc.

With iMessage/SMS there is no setup, no sign-in, no approval process or anything.
I liked Apache Commons collections for major versioning their releases. Collections 4 is in the collections4 package. Allows having both versions and incrementally migrating. Would have been useful because Guava is like JQuery: it had so much useful stuff, upstream stuff would often include it and then you have to worry about compatibility.

Those “ads” are provided by the app. Hulu showed me Hulu stuff, HBO shows HBO, etc. just like when you open that app.

I think there may be an option to turn that off too, I don’t remember.

Honestly I’m never on that screen for more than a few seconds. I don’t find that problematic at all.
In 1953 the CIA intervened in a power struggle and helped depose the democratically elected Prime Minister of Iran, Mohammad Mosaddeq, handing power to shah (essentially, 'king') Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, whose father, a military officer, took power in a coup in the 1920s.

The shah, with US backing, ran a brutal, oppressive regime until 1979, when he was overthrown by a revolution led by the Islamist, theocratic ayatollah, Ruhollah Khomeini [edit: Khomeini seems to have led one faction, which eventually seized power from the others; see below]. Khomeini's people broke into the US embassy (a major diplomatic violation - even warring parties maintain embassies) and took over 50 hostages, who they held for over a year; one demand was that the US send them Pahlavi (Egypt granted him asylum eventually).

That government still runs Iran, though via Khomeini's political decendents. They see the US as probably their greatest threat, and the US treats Iran as a major enemy. In the 1980s, the US helped Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein fight a war with Iran, including using poison gas. These days, high-ranking US leaders periodically talk of attacking Iran and the US maintains economic sanctions against the country.

Israel is the closest US ally in the region and is seen by Iran as a US proxy, and the US and its allies are seen as competitors for regional power, with the Arabian Peninsula between Iran and Isreal being a sort of battleground. Both countries routinely threaten attacks against each other. Also, to some degree, Israel is a seen by Iran as a Western colony imposed on the Middle East.

Edit: I shouldn't assume this part is known: Iran routinely attacks US interests and destabilizes the region in its drive to dominate the Middle East, and also aligns itself at times with Russia. Particularly, now that the US deposed Hussein in neighboring Iraq, Iran has strong influence there (I think they are the only two majority Shia countries in the world). They also helped Assad in Syria fight a civil war to defeat a powerful revolution, forming a very strong bond; and they have long been the major supporters of Hezbollah, the terrorist/insurgent and Shia group that controls southern Lebanon. If you look at a map, that means Iran now has a logistical route to the Israeli border - they can drive trucks there - as well as influencing a large part of the Middle East.
Now I just need to get my coworkers to use Duration instead of:

Is autosurgeon-repo-rs separate from autosurgeon? I can't find anything by that specific name on Google.

The API is still a little clunky, with hydrating and reconciling, and it's not as clean as the automerge-repo one, especially with those React examples.
You can do that today. Oobabooga + Hugging Face models.
I noticed years ago that people treated me differently at work when I wore glasses.

I would do experiments and wear them for a couple weeks to a month then go back to contacts and observe the difference.

CVEs are terrible nowadays. Any enterprising ”security researcher” can file one against your project, and the CVE aggregators will flat refuse to take it down. See for example CVE-2023-29827 or CVE-2023-35116
> Surprised HN is so negative towards AI (and that the positive:negative ratio to AI is about the same as it was for Crypto a few years ago!)

I'm not. AI tools will have huge benefits in some industries. But the main use case that people will experience (at least, the use case they recognize) on a daily basis will be scams and frustration. That's why people are negative. Not because the technology is bad or does not have uses, but because the average experience that people will consciously have will be negative.

It's already impossible to know what's real and what's not. Customer service is already majority bots. You'll never be able to talk to a human again if you have an issue with something. Blackmail and ransomware scams are going to get dialed up to 11. Everything is going to be automated in the most annoying ways possible. People are going to lose their jobs. Most of the jobs that will be lost are "meaningless," but our society revolves around meaningless jobs because they provide order, income and—as a consequence—dignity. All of that is going out the window.

Crypto had a purpose that no one actually cared about. No one cared until people started to see the scam potential and then it took off. AI is going to do the same thing.

AI tools will revolutionize medicine, engineering, manufacturing, and logistics. There will be huge benefits for all of humanity. But you won't think about this day-to-day. You'll just be bombarded by more (and better) scams more quickly.

I am amazed at what AI tools can do already. Had these tools existed 10 or 15 years ago my entire life would be different. Better? I have no idea. Maybe, maybe not. But even if it would have been better I know enough to know that I would not recognize that.
> more distance to cover for things like sewers,

I don't know which one becomes more expensive per capita, but "more distance" is very simplistic metric.

Think of how much money and time and coordination it requires to dig a 200ft trench somewhere in Manhattan. Street closures, permits with multiple organizations, coordinate with tons of utilities and other underground facilities, engineering surveys if you're digging near high rises, etc.

Meanwhile in the suburbs one guy in a pickup shows up with a digger and gets it done before lunch.

Density also bring in enormous complexity, so it's not that simple.

> You can walk your dog in a suburb, but if you need groceries you'll be driving.

I live in a suburb and I walk to one of three nearby (< 10 min walk) grocery stores.
> If you look for non-Apple laptops with equivalent CPU score, they would cost around $450. And they support Linux.

And their battery lasts almost two hours.
I more or less agree with that, but can't help but feel that a certain amount of exposure to contrary views (even though unpleasant/unwanted) is more healthy for society. It at least has the potential for defusing straw-man understandings and also keeps people realistic about where they stand with respect to the larger society in terms of beliefs and practices. I'm not sure that the Twitter model does much for that, but the longer form conversations like Facebook may.
Or perhaps expecting someone who committed crimes and got caught to have learned how to not get caught.
I know this isn't a correct answer to the overall problem, but holy shit, just how much cloud resources could you possibly need to support a garage door opener? This feels like a "top end of the free tier of some PaaS" kind of usage. 0.2% of their userbase doing a cloud poll every 30 seconds or so is not a DDoS, it's a small caching issue.

Some new playgrounds near me have implemented recycled rubber matting on the surface (mitigate falls) while having difficult to climb/traverse shapes/ropes/etc on a slight slope without being too high off the ground.

Kids seem to enjoy them and it certainly provides problem-solving exercises for the body.
I hope this is being studied intensely in Finland. It has both a strong IT sector and a practice of ensuring kids have plenty of outdoor play/free time.

I'm planning to upgrade my old garage door openers in teh upcoming months, and this very nicely just pruned my decision tree — all the Chamberlain Group garage door opener options are off the list.

The fix is pretty obvious - migration assistant should copy granted app permissions across.
well, technically it'd be off-gassing CO2 instead of methane. Technically a minor improvement. Still, there are even better uses for it.
We all pay taxes, I don't see an issue. I pay significantly more taxes than people who are living in more affordable/dense housing in the city - both in property taxes as well as the fact that I earn a higher income. I am subsidizing lots of other people in my community.

It's not working like that. It's your choice what you use.

Artificial benchmarks are interesting but as another personal anecdote, I bought a maxed-out Framework for over $3000 a couple of years ago when I was still Linux desktop oriented. Way more RAM, storage, faster on benchmarks than anything Apple at the time.

It was the worst machine I've ever had. One day after doing yet another plug-unplug-reboot-wtf dance to get a display to work (that just worked the day before) I threw my hands up, went to Best Buy and bought some random basic Macbook Pro for $1200 (lower specs, of course). I don't know what the specs or benchmarks look like, I don't care. I just need a tool to do my work.

What I do know is that it runs for at least weeks at a time, does absolutely everything I need it to do, and I never feel like I'm waiting for it. Plug/unplug displays, thunderbolt docks, open/close the lid, don't charge it for days at time. Just runs along - cool and silent. I open it, get my work done, close it. Day after day.

I absolutely guarantee that even if this Macbook was $6000 I'm way ahead in terms of productivity not to mention stress and frustration - which I value very, very highly.

It's been "Ohhh, this is NICE" experiences like this that have chipped away at my previous thinking and pulled me further and further towards Apple. Still not perfect (of course) but the time I spend fixing my tools vs being productive isn't even close.

I'm probably just getting old and cranky but I have very little patience for BS at this point in my life. When I was 13 figuring out why RedHat 5.2 didn't boot on my AMD K6 was fun. It's not fun anymore.
Of all the options we have, the RatGDO is the only one that taps into the serial connection to the Garage Door and circumvents the "security+" marketing gimmick. With it you get access to all the door metrics/controls. Door State, Door Position, Wireless Remote Lock/Unlock, Obstruction Status, Light Status. So you don't need any extra sensors and wires dangling around.

To each their own. The other options seem to work great for most people. But RatGDO will work best for me (And they arrive tomorrow. Stoked). I want to know exactly when my door starts to open. Not 10 seconds later when the tilt or reed sensors are triggered, because I want my exterior lights to come on immediately and voice notifications to not be delayed. Also I want to lock my wireless remotes out at night and when I'm away because my wife uses her garage for projects and parks outside with her remote in the car. Lastly I want something that appears the least messy.

My only minor concern is Chaimberland would somehow try and gimp this solution with a firmware update. My initial thoughts were that they would probably break the wall buttons in everyone's homes. I still don't believe they have the ability to update the wall button firmware to work with any changes to the software in the motor. Everyone started echoing that after I made an assumption about it, but I'm not 100% certain if it's the case or not. Alas it doesn't matter because I'm disconnecting my doors themselves from wifi, unpairing them from MyQ and deleting my account once my RatGDOs are wired up.
I stopped paying OpenAI because they went down or were "too busy" so much of the time I wanted to use it. Bard (or more so the VertexAI APIs) are always up and reliable and do not require a monthly fee, just the per call
That's my point - right now there is no lock-in for an individual. You'd have to try really, really hard to become dependent on ChatGPT. So right now is the time to use it.

Why doesn't Google have a go at building something better than iMessage rather than beg for regulations? Also, wrt to RCS its very much carrier oriented, and I personally would not want to have anything to do with them – next thing you know they'll have pay-for tiers or goddamn advertising in my messages.
At least it has the unit in the name, could be worse.
On average, they report, but good vs bad marketing is normally worth much more. So the extremes in great vs bad photo are most likely much more. Paying attention and getting help is worth money.

> 1a) If you town bans short-term rentals but the next town over doesn't, then guess what - the investors just migrate and you haven't actually changed much.

On the contrary: you've changed the housing supply in your town. Sure, some of the money will go to the next town over, but if you're running your town as if it's a business you deserve to end up with a hollow wasteland.

> 2) There is so much money here in the US that even banning foreign ownership doesn't matter much. I live in a tourist / second-home market and it's people from the region who are buying up the investments.

Given what I've heard about the amount of properties being bought up by Chinese investors (which tracks with what else I know about the market and how China has been progressing in recent years, so I have no reason to doubt it), I think it unlikely that, were they all to be forced out of the market, domestic investors would be able to simply fill the vacuum with no net change. Investment dollars chasing real estate may be far more plentiful than is healthy, but they are not infinite.
> Texans generally do not give a shit about anyone but themselves

They don't seem to care about themselves either. It's their own land/water/air they pollute by letting corporations exploit them. It's their own people who freeze to death when their shitty power grid can't keep up with extreme weather, or who die from overheating while at work. It's their own family members who die in fertilizer plant explosions. Their own kids who are being mangled at trampoline parks. They're the ones living in the state with the highest population without heath insurance in the country.

Companies have convinced Texas that regulations are from the devil so that they can make money hand over fist at the expense of Texans and the people of Texas fell for it. They figured out a lot time ago that if you can convince a Texan that you're giving him freedom from The Man, you can bend that Texan right over and have him thank you for sticking it wherever it pleases you.
BS I say.

In a JS framework frontend I will disable the button on submit, so the form can't be submitted twice, because accidental double clicks happen.
I will enable it after at most 6 seconds or if the response is an error response.
I first learned about this while researching references in From Hell by Alan Moore. Hinton wrote an article called "What is the Fourth Dimension?" which plays a part in the story.
> Personally, I prefer https://github.com/Novum/vkQuake because it allows disabling texture smoothing.

All hardware-accelerated Quake source ports that I'm aware of allow you to disable texture smoothing, going all the way back to the original GL Quake (if not earlier).

It was historically set through the console (rather than through a graphical menu), via the `gl_texturemode` command

On modern hardware capable of trilinear filtering, the appropriate texturemode to disable texture smoothing (which keeping the other niceties of hardware acceleration) was

```

gl_texturemode "GL_NEAREST_MIPMAP_LINEAR"

```

For the Ironwail engine, which is the currently preferred Quake source port for modern 3D hardware, options on whether or not to use texture smoothing (and other "retro" aesthetics like whether to use square or circular particles) are things that can be toggled in the video configuration menu.

Happy Guava user here. I frequently use the services and eventbus bits. Some of the io, primitives and cache stuff. Table is also useful. Very nice to have this, has definitely made life easier for me.
wait a second, are you using interviews to tackle your backlog? is this legal?
Good news. You can install Arch on M2 hardware if you're willing to do the legwork. I found some threads on Reddit by doing a general search.

Good luck.

I wish Guava weren’t just one library that breaks backward compatibility casually. They follow semver, but the major version changes so often that it’s not that helpful (they’re up to 32.x!)

I've looked into those when I was setting up my living room and, while PCs have their strengths, they lack things like CEC support, proper support for a remote (which you can work around by using Kodi), apps like Netflix are hardly supported and getting them to stream 4K, HDR or even just to use Dolby is an exercise in futility. Not to mention that those setups tend to be pretty unstable.

A technical user can definitely patch something together, but it will be a far less stable or streamlined experience and if you try to have your TV used by your non-technical family, good luck.
> I would say that containers are the foundation of the practice of reproducible builds.

If you mean containers as in the isolation features that are utilised by docker et al. to provide their flavor of compartmentalization then yes, those are pretty useful for reproducibility (although not 100% necessary, I think).

If you mean containers as in a bundled linux userland (so, e.g. a docker container running some image) then no, that is entirely orthogonal to reproducibility, as demonstrated by nix and guix which AFAIK use the low-level isolation features for their build sanboxes but do not have anything resembling a container image involved.
`inert` is intended primarily to help with overlay focusing (think dialogs, drawers etc) or offscreen elements that should be hidden. While yes, it can be added to any element (and therefore make it and its subtree inert) which could enable some kind of novel use case, I think the standard case are primarily dialogs / overlays and offscreen elements that need to be hidden
Nice, looks like we finally got around to inventing refrigerator magnets!

----

That is a little bit dismissive of me though. There are some cool features here:

I can now "entertain in my kitchen", which is definitely a normal thing that normal people do. I love getting everyone together to crowd around my refrigerator so that we can all watch Game of Thrones.

And I can use Amazon Alexa from my fridge just in case I'm not able to talk out loud to the cheap unobtrusive device that has a microphone in it specifically so that it can be placed in any room of the house. So having that option is good.

And perhaps the biggest deal of all, I can finally "shop from home." That was a huge problem for me before, I kept thinking, "if only I had a better refrigerator I could finally buy things on websites."

And this is a great bargain for only 3-5 thousand dollars! I can't believe I was planning to buy some crappy normal refrigerator for less than a thousand bucks and then use the extra money I saved to mount a giant flat-screen TV hooked up to a Chromecast in my kitchen. That would have been a huge mistake for me to make.

Honestly it's just the icing on the cake that I can "set as many timers as [I] want." That's a great feature for someone like me because I can't set any timers at all using my phone or a voice assistant. /s

----

<serious>Holy crud, smart-device manufacturers have become unhinged. The one feature that actually looks useful here is being able to take a picture of the inside of the fridge while you're away. That is basically the one feature that I would want from a fridge that isn't much-better handled using a phone or a tablet or a TV or a normal refrigerator button. Which, great, but the problem is that I know what the inside of my fridge looks like right now, and let me just say: if I was organized enough that a photograph of the inside of my fridge would be clear enough to tell me what food was in it, and if I was organized enough that the photo wouldn't just show 'a pile of old containers, some of them transparent and some of them not' -- I have a feeling that in that case I would no longer be the type of person that needed to take a photo of the inside of my refrigerator to know what was in it.
I will also add that in my experience it is typically recommending shows you are in progress with, or next in a queue, or on some list you have curated before recommending anything else. So quite handy at times.
