To the downvoters - please think about what you're doing by punishing a request for evidence/a source. It does not make for a healthy discussion forum where one can expect to make claims without having to support them, or where asking for that support is seen as an attack. Even if it is an attack, it should not be treated as hostile.

Yes. I'm pretty sure P25 and DMR are phase modulation modes. And nothing (bureaucratic, at least) is preventing experimental phase modulation modes from what I understand.
You still have to calculate the distance between a date on the DB and a date on the client, the timezone difficult issues are not sidestepped at all
AOSP is not too barebones for someone who is looking for a barebone OS for their mobile phone. Last I tried, it comes with a basic texting app, a basic phone app, a basic web browser, just no Google app store, no Chrome, no Google account synced messages, etc.
Is there a good alternative to Stripe for something they decide they don't like?

Generically speaking no.

There's some exceptions, USDA, VA, and FHA loans. All government programs. But it's tied to the property so only transferable to the purchaser. Very rare here even now with rates changing so much.
PowerShell was (and still is) the go to for me in any M$FT shop. People like to group VBA and PowerShell together but I am amazed by the vibrancy of the PowerShell community and the deep history it holds. PowerShell releases are frequent and I'm excited about what I continue to see and hear being developed.

By "was a proof to their eyes", I mean "was a demonstration to their eyes", in the "mathematical" sense of the term.

You can have "legal" proofs that 2+2=5, for example by having a lot of witnesses testifying it's the case, but you still don't have any "mathematical" proof and you will never have any, because if the hypothesis is fundamentally incorrect, it is impossible to have a correct demonstration that the hypothesis is correct. (and I hope no one will react to that with Gödel, it will just show that they totally missed the point)

In both MacCarthyism and a witch hunt, even if the processes were super complicated, people were too easily accepting conclusions that are incorrect because they were too happy with these conclusions.

This is for me the point of the expression "witch hunt", while the message I've reacted to explain that a witch hunt makes sense only if it concerns something that does not really exist.
As a user, I've found self promotion via comments way more helpful and relevant than their terrible ads...

As both a user and an advertiser I agree. The communities I visit, if not the whole site, are faithfully anti-ad. But if I answer some questions occasionally somebody will get curious about my profile and check stuff out.
While I might stand corrected on that detail, OpenStep, OPENSTEP and NeXTSTEP had enough differences among themselves, with OpenStep also running on Windows, and many of the Sun's experiments with OpenStep own frameworks being on the genesis of Java and JavaEE.

> During alkaline hydrolysis, a human body is sealed in a long, stainless-steel chamber, while a heated solution of 95 percent water and 5 percent sodium hydroxide passes over and around it. In low-temperature alkaline hydrolysis, the solution reaches a temperature just below boiling, the process is performed at atmospheric pressure, and the body is reduced over the course of 14 to 16 hours; in a higher-temperature version of the process where the mixture tops 300 degrees Fahrenheit and creates more pressure, the body is reduced in four to six hours. The process dissolves the bonds in the body’s tissues and eventually yields a sterile, liquid combination of amino acids, peptides, salts, sugars and soaps, which is disposed of down the drain at the alkaline hydrolysis facility. The body’s bones are then ground to a fine powder and returned to the deceased person’s survivors, just as the bones that remain after flame cremation are returned to families as ash.

They cannot "target" US Persons with 702, but what they CAN do is "target" every foreign person (e.g. family) a US Person knows and then intercept any communications that US Person has with them. That is legal. That's the implied use of 702, to spy on inter-US communications if they originate abroad.

Now they're telling us, again, that they should be able to spy on US Persons' communications with friends/family/business interests abroad without a warranty because warrants are too inconvenient.
I think of scrapple as more Pennsylvania than Maryland, though it definitely bleeds over the border a bit. We get a lot of "Amish markets", even though they're usually Mennonite rather than Amish. They bring scrapple with them.

Scrapple really is a local food, though it's not that different from other kinds of head cheese. The thing that makes it "scrapple" is the addition of cornmeal (maize), which helps it crisp up nicely when fried.

Americans get weird about off-cuts and organ meats. But if we called it "terrine de porc à la semoule de maïs" and served it with microgreens they'd sell it for $28 as an appetizer.
This is just the list on https://inko-lang.org/packages/ – which has a grand total of 14 packages. Even the text you quoted yourself says the package manger supports $any git repo, just that the website doesn't (yet).

In the Inko repo there are 13 contributors, with the #2 contributor having just 8 commits. The Website repo has 7 contributors, with the #2 having 5 commits. This is pretty much a one-person show.

But I guess every project, no matter how small the team, must support "my favourite VCS" and "do things my favourite way". Why don't you go and write a patch if Mercurial support or whatnot is so important for you?

This is the textbook definition of open source entitlement. You can't do anything without some asshole shouting at you for doing something "wrong".
I don't think this is totally true, tbh. The Pixel 8 Pro holds up really well against the S23 Ultra IMO. The camera generally rates higher in blind comparison tests.

Performance is a little lower, but tbh... even my old Pixel 5 was fast enough. Marginal differences in performance don't seem that important to me now in a phone. Battery life might be lower, but I get the feeling that real world performance is really close.
> A linked list is almost never the right answer.

And yet a subset of the linked list called a tree is usually the right answer to problems.
No, mortgage portability is not a thing in the US, at all. Mortgages are tied to the property and the borrowers. I've never heard of a (US) borrower being able to sell their property and keep the loan. Alternatively, it is sometimes possible for a new borrower to assume the previous mortgage, but it's up to lender discretion, and seems unlikely if a current mortgage would be at a dramatically higher rate.

What does seem to happen often is that an owner who wants to move but doesn't want to lose their nice rate will move and then rent our their old place, or at least try to, it can be difficult to qualify for a new mortgage while carrying the old mortgage and not having a history of rent payments.
Isn't that why you would use a letter and post system?
That seems to remove the advantage of using the browser in the first place—leveraging native controls and integrations, giving the user control over how things are renderered, and accessibility concerns.

Of course, I can see how this is mostly irrelevant for some applications like games, but that's still rather niche compared to, you know, useful and wide-spread apps that people actually want to use.
GraphCast, Pangu-Weather from Huawei, FourCastNet and EC's own AIFS are available on the ECMWF chart website https://charts.ecmwf.int, click "Machine learning models" on the left tab. (Clicking anything makes the URL very long.)

Some of these forecasts are also downloadable as data, but I don't know whether GraphCast is. Alternatively, if forecasts have a big economic value to you, loading latest ERA5 and the model code, and running it yourself should be relatively trivial? (I'm no expert on this, but I think that is ECMWF's aim, to distribute some of the models and initial states as easily runnable.)
Uh, OK.

If you can’t do it within our legal framework that at least pays lip service to balancing freedom vs security, then don’t do it.
As with many behavior impairing/enhancing substances, there are effects on multiple neurotransmitters:

>Caffeine activates noradrenaline neurons and seems to affect the local release of dopamine. Many of the alerting effects of caffeine may be related to the action of the methylxanthine on serotonin neurons. [1]

Or take alcohol, which people typically associate only with GABA:

>Among the neurotransmitter systems linked to the reinforcing effects of alcohol are dopamine, endogenous opiates (i.e., morphinelike neurotransmitters), GABA, serotonin, and glutamate acting at the NMDA receptor (Koob 1996).

Two other things, first the notion that depression can be reduced down to a deficiency of neurotransmitters is almost certainly an oversimplification (if not outright incorrect). What we have is correlation, not causation, where GABA, stress hormones, and other mechanisms also show up. Second, even if this characterization of "low on neurotransmitters => depression" is correct, it is not and has never been just about serotonin:

>The monoamine-deficiency theory posits that the underlying pathophysiological basis of depression is a depletion of the neurotransmitters serotonin, norepinephrine or dopamine in the central nervous system. [2]

Exactly this. A judge signing off on a warrant is essentially making a prediction that a party is guilty of something involving the target of the warrant. The judge should have skin in the game.

It could be tied to their salary. It could be a 3 strikes policy. Something they care about should be put on the line when they sign a warrant. If they get it wrong and the warrant was frivolous, they lose something. If they get it right, and the search produces exactly what they predicted, then they get something. Judges would very quickly turn away investigators with insufficient evidence. It would also produce some very wealthy judges who would be worthy of their title according to an objective measure. The best judges would be the wealthiest.

Needless to say, they shouldn't be presiding over the trial, which determines whether the warrant produces a guilty verdict.
I'd also like to hear about this. But it's worth pointing out, that's just the rack space, bandwidth is priced separately. But, HE seems to me to offer very competitive and high quality bandwidth.

Also, I think most situations don't need to go from 0-servers to 44U of servers.
(Although VC backed bet-the-farm situations may like that route)
I've have this weird idea in my head:

There's a book I love, Daemon. I love it so much that I'm willing to bet you money that you'll love it. How about I buy you a copy of the book, and if you love it, you have to buy a copy for two other people?

Or... how about, I bet you $1 that you'll enjoy this website. If I'm wrong, you keep the money - or maybe it goes to a charity of your choice? If I'm right, I get my money back... and maybe you have to give me $1...? and you have to pick two other people to gamble?

I dunno - the thought has been tickling my brain for a while...
And the funny thing is that they bought HTC mobile, which has always been a competitive and innovative player, and I seriously doubt Taiwan based engineers are paid anywhere close to the ones in Mountain View.

I've had many Nexus and two Pixels (the 5, and 8 now), with an Essential Phone in the middle, hard to beat during the last $220 fire sale.

To me, Google never had a serious hardware strategy. It's improved and keeps improving though, the features getting a lot of focus (like the camera performance) are good, they finally committed to 5 and now 7 years of software updates, the Pixel lineup is sold in an increasing number of countries (Google could still do a much better job here, just sell your hardware ffs). Eventually they'll move to their own in-house SoC, and hopefully Samsung modems won't suck forever.

But when I see something like the Pixel tablet sold at such ridiculous price in most countries, I truly wonder what's going on, it's like some people at Google explicitly want to fail.

Yeah, seriously... a little more speed and 7b quantized LLMs would be almost usable. I guess that could be nice? :)

But in practice, performance is mostly being wasted on phones right now.
You raise a good point that large collections have enough value to
motivate people.

The idea of trading "discoverables" is solid. Like in the zine or
warez culture it's great to trade a big cache with others. There is a
trust issue, that some will poison the well with their malware or
spam, but many new solutions do seem to take-off out of mutually
motivated sharing. Perhaps something as simple as a library/standard
for "exchanging trusted link collections" - and there almost as
in-built webserver function would be a game changer.

Like if https://links.example.com/json always returned a most recently
verified bundle.
I always get very skeptical with putting more technology in the classrooms (at least here in the US). The primary problem is funding and too many kids for a single teacher. Educational innovation comes in with a bang and out with a whimper when the study turns out to be flawed, often quite severely.

I'm sure LLMs can augment learning in some settings, esp in higher ed, but putting more computer time for kids learning basics (I mean K-8 mostly) I hope is handled more carefully than things like Quizlet...
Remember that while these types of dystopias are bad for most people, for some they are utopias. Amazon being an all powerful unaccountable infinite money machine is Jeff Bezo's utopia, for example.
Nah, that is a nightmare. Don't forget your WebGL/Canvas based UI has to be responsive to screens ranging from a 3" phone up to a 8K ultrawide monitor. Nothing beats html/css for achieving that. Also, good luck with ADA compliance when your page is a pixel drawing on canvas.
Except that apples can also be green, whereas great spotted woodpeckers are always a medium-sized woodpecker species. So 'the apple is red" implies at least a red variety of apples, never all apples, so "the" doesn't cover the whole group. But "the great spotted woodpecker is a medium-sized woodpecker" does cover the whole group (species). "The" can be either a definite or indefinite article, depending on context. That in turh changes "is" between equivalence and implication.

"An apple is red" does not imply that "Red is an apple". Use of the indefinite article makes the non-equivalence clearer.
You really do want at least a kitchenette for any real length of time. I'm pretty good with just a refrigerator--assuming decent eat out and takeout options--for a few weeks but probably wouldn't want to go much longer than that. A hotel room doesn't have a lot of space but then a furnished studio apartment won't either.

It also helps if you know you'll be back in your house in a month or even two--and you're fine with just not doing some activities/hobbies while you travel.
And where are you going to store cookware and tableware and spices and other ingredients in a hotel room? Some suites or longstay rooms are better equiped for it, but regular hotel rooms just aren't designed for long-term residence.

> Why should a community limit their potential and ambition because another can’t seem to figure it out?

I reject that interpretation of the the song completely—theoretically, a nation represents a single community. The issue is that the nation in question (the United States) doesn't seem to give a shit about its own needs outside those of its dominant (i.e. rich and ruling) class. Keep in mind that—although the song in question does present it as a racial matter, because race and class are so deeply intertwined in this country—that the focus on economic dominance over all other concerns leaves the poor in this country behind regardless of race.

And the implication that the poor (especially poor black folks) in this country are poor because they "can't seem to figure it out" is so asinine I'm not going to bother addressing it.

This is an amazing website. It's horrible that when asking educational questions you will absolutely never see these websites. Just the same horrible quality ones that are trying to take all your data and advertise to you.
> Do you have a customer focus?

Indeed I have a customer focus.

My customers are the people and businesses who rely on the fact that the production servers run smoothly. And I serve their legitimate business needs, among other things, by not allowing some gung-ho hacked-together unvetted magic spreadsheet to kill runtime performance by performing a blocking query with deep joins that forces the DB server into running a full scan over 10E9's of records.

Again, as I said elsewhere, I have nothing against non-IT departments building their own private software. I do the same. But as soon as this software wants to touch the prod-server, or any other part of the infrastructure I am responsible for, it is my job to ensure they meet the same standards as everything else in the stack.

And yes, saying "No." when it is appropriate, is part of that job.
Slow yes, but footgunny? What do you find particularly footgunny about python?
You're right; but it should be noted that that is a design choice not an inherent property of the technology.

Currently, the design goal isn't to make LLMs feel "lifelike." It is likely that lifelike LLMs will be released in the future, which could result in sarcastic or dismissive replies to poor questions or missing information.

There isn't anything actually wrong with JavaScript in 2023, either. The idea that it needs to be replaced stems from countless failed attempts to shove a bunch of crap into the client with a bunch of frameworks and without a shred of actual engineering discipline. Trust me when I say that, if web apps become commonly written mainly in other "scalable" or "type-safe" languages, your average software developers will find a way to screw that up as much as they have with today's web, if not worse than that.

WASM is cool, but I don't see any reason to get rid of JS. There's value to having a lingua franca of JIT interpreted code with a standard UI toolkit, and I think those who point out how "insufficient" the DOM is and how "slow" and "unsafe" JavaScript is are simply wrong. They both do their jobs exceedingly well when idiotic and theological ideas are not simply thrown at them by software developers obsessed by convenience over soundness of design.
When I started work at a higher-level IT job where I can start saying yes or no like this, I wanted to say yes to everyone and never be that guy blocking people. I still end up saying no very frequently because people will not want to think about anything not relevant to their specific use case at all (how are you authenticating/who controls the app/what happens when you/the owner leave?/is there a project plan?).

I can't count the number of integrations/projects I've already dropped because I asked a few follow-up questions and never got a response. Any business that actually wants to follow the law and reduce the risk of massive data loss or other embarrassing cyber event needs to screen things, ask questions, and sometimes prevent one very smart person from setting up an undocumented rube goldberg machine that will drag down an entire team if they leave and it breaks.
Show HN: Email builder for managing Auth0 Email Templates
Hi HN,

From our Auth0 experiences and hearing from other devs, we found that managing custom email templates for Auth0 tenants could be improved. Earlier this year, I introduced Tabular (email builder) on HN.

We've now added a direct integration with Auth0, that lets you directly upload Tabular emails to Auth0. To set it up, you'll have to create a Machine-to-Machine Application in your Auth0 tenant with permissions to modify 'email_templates' in your Auth0 Management API and use it with Tabular. See our link for a full guide.

The integration lets you directly upload all Auth0 email template types:
verify_email
verify_email_by_code
welcome_email
enrollment_email
reset_email (legacy)
change_password (legacy)
password_reset
blocked_account
stolen_credentials
mfa_oob_code
user_invitation

I’d love to hear your feedback.

How does Apple do it, if anyone knows? Apple is so loathe to keep their potential product plans hidden that AAPL employees aren’t even allowed to have GitHub accounts without mgr approval… but they have to be employing serious researchers, but they’ll never get to publish on volition.

Remember when content creators of yore were teaching the web newbies how to generate traffic to their sites and get noticed on search engine rankings?

We still have that now. Only it's how to get the YouTube algorithm to share your content or how to optimally use Steam's tools to promote your game. It's all within the walled gardens.

Even Google, a search engine of yore, is a walled garden now much more like a social network than it's prior iterations when it was an indispensable tool for finding new content on the web.
