The only reason I have Windows is for seamless device driver support. Most things work and don’t break with a system update. I don’t want to spend a single minute debugging issues on a forum, resorting to OS reinstall due to something being broken, or twiddling with buggy display or wireless settings.
I love the Linux desktop. I wish I could pay someone to deliver this experience. But, I don’t believe that I can.
I wish I could strip the display off Windows and run it as a hypervisor with a nice hardware abstraction layer for another OS.
This sounds like a scam run by the storage companies. Otherwise it is hard to understand what motivation "Tristan" had to drop the product off there instead of just, say, abandoning it on the side of the road. I can imagine a scammer getting upset that their load was a bunch of candy and not laptops or something else of high value, but why take it to a storage unit after accepting the load?
Pretty much it. We're at a "get people and services ready for a potential disaster" stage. And it's sort of mislabeled by the Guardian. We have three stages for events like this; "uncertainty", "alert" and "emergency". The state that's been declared is "alert" not "emergency".

Although sitting here and feeling my house rock back and forth, with the earthquake map looking like seen in the link below, I don't think it's too long until state of emergency.

Edit: And there we go. A stage of emergency was just declared for the town of Grindavík and it's being evacuated.

Wow I recognize your name, thanks for the macOS 10.9 fixes page and your Chromium-Legacy downloader!

If sideloading becomes popular, the real goal is to just be able to run those apps that aren’t in the store, right? As a sibling comment says, just registering/paying $99/year to use those apps but signed as yourself seems like the easiest route… unless you don’t want to pay Apple ~$8/month for this feature out of principal or monetary reasons.

Usually there are a lot of comments about how text is the best interface and it's making a comeback in the LLMs but in this case picture is the better medium since parsing the webpage js would prove too difficult. I think a screenshot of a webpage has a smaller footprint than the raw payloads (js, assets, etc.).
Regarding the future, Martin Cooper says:

“We still have a way to go. I think phones are too complicated now. The way we use them is not very natural. Holding a phone up to your ear with your elbow opening is not what you’d call a very natural way of talking. We have a way to go. I think that the cell phone is still in its infancy. I think that the children of today’s cell phone, if I could use that analogy, are going to be used for things like connecting to your body, measuring things on your body, understanding when you’re starting to get sick. But talking to a computer somewhere that does a physical examination of you — not every year — but every 30 seconds. I believe that the cell phone is going to be an important part of eliminating disease. And I really mean that.”

There are so many variables, it's fundamentally disingenuous to say "just find another job". Maybe Tesla is the only car factory in town, and your skills are very specific to car manufacturing. Maybe you have a disability that makes it extra-challenging to job-hunt. Maybe you borrowed money to fix your home, and you can't afford to be out of work for a month as you look for another gig. Etc etc.

"The free market of labor" is anything but.
Some people just fundamentally don't get satire. You wouldn't believe how many Warhammer 40,000 fans do see humans as the good guys there. (They really very much are not. There are no good guys in W40k, but the humans definitely aren't it.)
To me it almost sounds like the scam is to get the goods into a storage facility they own and extort the owner of the goods for a high storage fee to get it released. And also rack up the fees by denying any claim of actual ownership for some period. Aka the scammer wants the victim to know where the goods are.

So almost like a shady towing company taking a car.
>Why should a rich person be able to experience luxury more often than a poor person?

Why would you work harder to get rich if you don't get anything for it?
There was a similar question in the movie iRobot with Will Smith. [1] Maybe it's time to watch that movie again.

Attempting to answer your question I think the quality of art is subjective in the eye of the beholder so I suppose each person would have to answer that question for themselves. Or for a less squishy answer perhaps it would be determined by how many art dealers and galleries find value or money in the art.

Famous people have made millions selling what I can best describe as a paint spill accident or a blank canvas so maybe I am not the right person to answer because I assume that is just some weird form of wash trading or money laundering.

Dropbox/rsync thread is so hyped here and most people haven't read it[1]. Firstly most comments were positive. Also the top comment poster who was negative first became positive later after explaination. Top commenter said "You are correct that this presents a very good, easy-to-install piece of functionality for Windows users". Second commenter said "This is genius. It's is problem everyone is having, and everyone knew it".

Also you missed the point of thread. I said I like Apple products. It's just that the stage they are in, they aren't trying to solve really tough problems which very likely will just loose money like say google does with quantum computing or AI.

> Hate bandwagon? I'm not a huge follower of Jeff's but I have never seen a single thing from them that I would consider "hateful" or jumping on a bandwagon

I'll just address this bit. Yes, it was a hate bandwagon and it wasn't jumping on one, it was leading it. It was all over his LinkedIn and everywhere else he could post at the time.
OneDrive syncing, plus whatever "enhancements" Microsoft have made to Windows Explorer, makes my current directory navigation and file management slower than it was 10+ years ago.

I've started working out of a separate directory structure so that OneDrive stays out of the way, and then move the files manually into OneDrive's field-of-view once I'm finished. This is not good practise for backups, but it's good practise for time efficiency and minimal frustration.
Have to second this, it's rare for an applications UX to piss me off enough to start looking into modding it or creating a fork but blender is at the top of that list.

Just having a better way to customize hotkeys would go really far, and I want to my mouse and movement controls to be roughly the same as unreal engine. Until those two things happen I use blender but I'm always angry when I do.

Coal plants emit more radionuclides into atmosphere, but nuclear plants produce more radionuclides overall (burnt fuel). This coal nuclear pollution is however still very small to the point of irrelevance, the real pollution problem is with CO2, dust and mining coal.
I'm with you. Love the idea of using Linux, but couldn't have stated the drawbacks more elegantly. I look at the OS reinstall more like an insurance company totaled your car vice it being at the bottom of a lake: You can always bring a Linux install back to life through a correct combination of CLI incantations in a fallback console, but at a point, it's easier to do a clean install.
But we're on HN, we can discuss our differences with reason and logic. Surely there are examples worthy of examination and critique.
1. git commit lib/bar.x
2. git commit foo.x
3. git commit --fixup sha_of_1
4. git commit --fixup sha_of_1
5. git commit --fixup whichever_is_appropriate
n. git rebase -i where_ever_you_branched_off

You call git rebase "worst" purely because you don't currently see the value in granular commit history. If and when you do, git rebase is just the tool for the job.

`git merge --no-commit` only works for trivial things, real world is a lot messier than that. But perhaps you haven't needed to deal with the complex changes. For an idea of what complex changes look like, skim some linux kernel VFS or MM refactoring patch sets.
That’s where my gut is landing on this one. They discussed managed app distribution at WWDC and that’s what feels like is coming with 17.2.

In my enterprise land I’m excited for these cleaner integrations for MDM app distribution.
No, that is wrong. Read a history book and learn the correct answer. Your random guesses are just stupid.
Not just that, but philosophy can help you make decisions with imperfect information. It's a useful tool even if some take it entirely too far.

Just in case, Sciter has built-in element <terminal> that can be used for various purposes.

Escape codes are supported, see: https://sciter.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/terminal.png

Docs/API: https://docs.sciter.com/docs/behaviors/behavior-terminal
I’ve built conviction that code generation only gets useful in the long term when it is entirely deterministic, or filtered through humans. Otherwise it is almost always technical debt. Hence LLM code generation products are a cool toy, but no sensible teams will use them without an amazing “Day 2” workflow.

As an example, in my day job (https://speakeasyapi.dev), we sell code generation products using the OpenAPI specification to generate downstream artefacts (language SDKs, terraform providers, markdown documentation). The determinism makes it useful — API updates propagate continuously from server code, to specifications, then to the SDKs / providers / docs site. There are no breaking changes because the pipeline is deterministic and humans are in control of the API at the start. The code generation itself is just a means to an end : removing boilerplate effort and language differences by driving it from a source of truth (server api routes/types). Continuously generated, it is not debt.

We’ve put a lot of effort into trying to make an LLM agent useful in this context. However giving them control of generated code directly means it’s hard to keep the “no breaking changes”, and “consistency” restrictions that’s needed to make code generation useful.

The trick we’ve landed on to get utility out of an LLM in a code generation task, is to restrict it to manipulating a strictly typed interface document, such that it can only do non-breaking things to code (e.g. adjust comments / descriptions / examples) by making changes through this interface.
I only use OneDrive for the auto save and versioning feature in Excel. Before giving in, I'd frequently come back to a computer that had restarted itself in the night (?) and I'd have to figure out if I needed to preserve the auto save files of things I only had open for reference.

LibreOffice Calc is becoming a better option though. I like the new array functions in Excel but I don't think anyone else I'd share a spreadsheet to understands them. Meanwhile, Excel makes it hard to work with Unicode CSV, no longer has the option to bring up the text import wizard when opening a CSV, silently changes your date formats, etc. For my uses it's become frustrating. Libre has kept working like I expect.
I keep telling myself like that. The general fragility hasn't changed much in the past 20 years, but I keep trying.

Yep. They installed remote controls for the whole plant 3 days ago, along with backup generators.
I wish we had some insight on offshoring numbers
From what I’ve seen, often these jobs already have a candidate in mind and the “post the job listing” is a pro forma requirement. So this is the government forcing the company through extra checklist that will end up in the exact same candidate being hired anyway.
Living somewhere were streaming usually winds up being low resolution or full of frustrating pauses for re-buffering, I do appreciate physical media (except where it is region locked: aaargh! How is it possible to buy something that you can't actually play?)

It depresses me, however, how much space it takes up, and how much plastic it is.

When we lose physical media, with the DRM and "you don't own it" mentality, we are largely at the mercy of the corporations. In that regard, I do highly respect pirate archivist sites for preserving access to these works. You'd never be able to see the original Star Wars without Lucas' senile CGI grafitti without them.
Fair to say "exploiting the commons for personal gain"?
I am also interested in this and how the relationship is between those two. For example can we expect features that come to mySQL be merged into mariadb as well?

You are writing like we are talking about rocket scientists.

PERM applies to both EB2 and EB3 (so in real world anyone making from as low as $50k+/year depending on role qualifies) and most bodyshops apply for green card for all employees - it's just part of business cost. For EB2 PhD is not needed - MS from online paper mill is enough. For EB3, any degree works.

It's not tens of thousands in cost - it's below $10k all in. PERM Fees to USCIS are around $1200.

The whole system is abused to the end and need to be completely gutted and redone so high end engineer working for Google making $700k was differentiated from Wipro employee making $80k. Right now they are in the same queue. Prevailing wage is a joke as it does not include stock options and does not reflect real salary levels.

I also don't believe in defending big corporate but Jeff's takes were wildly out of touch with what was actually happening. I do not love Red Hat or any corporation and I think their messaging could have been a lot better but I don't think the people who together make up Alma or Rocky acted in any way in good faith and I do find their desire to have everything hand prepared for them by Red Hat spoiled behavior.

The sources are all still there, they just need to work a little harder to get it. Forgive me if I shed no tears.
The problem is that what we call advertising isn't what advertising actually is.

Advertising in the 21st century is about spying on people, whether or not they want it whether or not they will ever be your customer, and selling that information to other people if it's beneficial to your business.

That isn't advertising.

That's organized stalking.

>PERM is a much more rigorous and demanding process

It's not rigorous or demanding; it's a mostly pointless bureaucratic exercise in bogus paperwork where lawyers and the gov. make bank. From the article : It also required all PERM position applicants to mail paper applications, even though the company permitted electronic applications for other positions," the DOJ said.

>Apple actually felt it was worth it

Apple doesn't feel. It's just commonsense and market pressure. The alternative would be indefinite indentured servitude.

Dept. of Labor takes a year to evaluate these PERM applications. PERM has charming and quaint requirements like taking out an ad in a Sunday newspaper so that applicants can apply and other nonsense. All while the employee is already working for the company on a visa. The whole thing is farcical.
Git is pretty much the opposite of "enterprise software" by origin.
This shouldn't be just a fine. They exfiltrate a users credentials for another service without explicit consent and intercept a confidential communication channel between the user and their mail provider. This is straight up criminal behavior and should lead to jail time for the responsible person.

> ...doesn't change the fact that people will be upset

Sure, but that doesn't change the fact that it happens all the time between most/many allies. We do not live in a nice and peaceful world.

> This also happens to be another reason that millions of people think the US is bad

People think that because the US leadership and public is willing to criticize themselves and export that attitude along with every other stufd the US exports. France and Russia alone have toppled more regimes in the last few years in africa than the US in the last few decades. Chinese spies in every country basicaly. I mean, let's be a bit candid here, the US CIA does not just work for the US but for NATO and EU's interests as well. All those military bases in europe didn't spontaneously appear. While the US cleans up after colonial europe's mess in the past 70 years, europe developed a moral sense of arrogant superiority. Name me one country the US fought with in its entire history that was not a european former colony? If honesty and self awareness was common europe would celebrate and treasure the CIA and the US for post-war peace, security and prosperity we all enjoy and for every war and chaos averted so far. The glass is half full in this case.
This was exciting storytelling! It felt like reading a fast-paced almost AI-generated turn-by-turn absurdist short novel. Something like Gogol’s Nose.

I couldn’t predict any of the sentences in this story, it was a really surprising and captivating read. Every new paragraph had a new twist.

Who owns the house is determined by who builds the foundation first,

Maybe. Most platform plays in tech fail or barely make ends meet,

we risk investing and building straw houses when brick was available

There's no magic bias that solves the build-vs-buy question.

More importantly, the article is encouraging people to stick with the structure of the problem and solution as you would normally for building products, and use AI at the edges rather than the engine.

IMHO that's much controllable for developers than a full-on dependence on black-box LLM's, and it's even better for the AI providers: they're much more
likely to help with a narrowly-defined solution.

Even openai is emphasizing incrementalism. It fits available tech, and it counters bubble bias.

It was because Hitler hated the Communist movement and wanted to set his party apart from the Communists.

The best way to capture that opposition was to get the Socialists on his side so that's what he went for by calling his party Socialist and setting them in direct opposition to the Communists.

Sometimes if you can get someone on the hook you can keep extracting money from them. "You need to pay us for storage." "Oh sorry we forgot to mention, you need to pay the customs agent." "We need to cover our gas expenses."

So they may have actually dumped the goods but seeing if they could get any more out of the mark.
