In the fast-paced world of app development, Sachin Dev Duggal's brainchild, Builder.ai, is causing a stir with its no-code approach. Let's dive into why people are enamored with this revolutionary method of creating applications.

Accessible to All Skill Levels

One of the primary reasons behind the love for Builder.ai's no-code platform is its inclusivity. It caters to individuals and businesses without an extensive coding background. Now, anyone with an idea can actively contribute to the app development process, breaking down the barriers of technical expertise.

Speedy Development Cycles

The traditional app development cycle often involves lengthy coding processes. Builder.ai flips this script by offering a no-code alternative that accelerates development. Users can see their ideas come to life in a fraction of the time it would take with conventional coding methods.

my Lenovo Thinkpads are working great after 12 yrs, with 16G ram and disk upgraded to 4TB SSD
>Of course, people these days have no idea what a URL or URL bar is, as it's often hidden anyway... :(

The vast majority of users have no idea what an address or address bar is, let alone a Universal Resource Locator. Hell, most users don't understand files and folders in a computing context either.

As much as I hate how iOS, Android, MacOS, and presumably even Windows these days are obfuscating the file system and nearly everything pertaining to it, I do think it's a necessary step in the right direction. Most users do not address, and as computing hardware and software engineers, designers, and nerds we have an obligation to provide computers that all users can easily understand.
No, KVM is also a type 1 hypervisor but it doesn't attempt (with the exception of pKVM and of hardware protection features like SEV, neither of which is routinely used by cloud workloads) to protect the guest from a malicious host.
You need to convince a decent chunk of Parliament, not just a handful.
yep, tiktok hides it via unique url shortening.
TPM did not get key from nowhere. The key need to come from network or locally generated as long as it is not preloaded when manufacturing. And in either way, it should be possible to intercept/fake it.
But you're talking very generally: we are independent militarily: if the US attack us, we can attempt a defense. If Afghanistan could free itself eventually, I'm sure we can find a way as well. My country has nukes (and owns the territory launching Ariane rockets) and NATO can't tell us what to do with them.

NATO is not a US-controlled army defending Europe. It's a collaborative alliance to scare a bit anyone trying to invade us, but it's not gonna do us any good if the US decide to become crazy or if one of their critical allies attack us and they don't want to risk it.
No, it’s not off-topic. I’m not claiming to have reverse-engineered that stuff (I have successfully reverse-engineered internal Apple tech in the past, and it hasn’t ended well. I’ve been writing Apple software, sometimes, at a fairly low level, for quite a while). I suspect there may be other reasons for the downvotes. It isn’t really something I’m losing much sleep over.

It’s just a fairly typical type of HN comment. I literally, like, yesterday, got it going, and it was a less-than-linear process. My own experience, in hacking the system, has taught me to try to stay inside the lines –something that is increasingly difficult, these days.

This article (which is excellent, and quite worthy of HN) made me think of it. Also, even doing what I did, has its challenges. I didn’t want to distract from the OP, by going into any detail. Maybe, one day, I’ll write it up (I’m fairly good at that kind of thing), but that is something for another day.
But you will be happy once you're sufficiently medicated via the patented delivery mechanism of antidepressant pharmaceuticals in industrial agriculture... :)
Possible to generate another ? Says invalid code

Edit: I mean a code for Beeper Mini on Android - not desktop
The world is definitely a lot more on the side of the Palestinians now than before October 7. Israel has lost the public support around the world. Not surprising since it is basically committing a genocide against the people of Gaza.
White letters on light background there.
GitHub pull request workflow is slowing everyone down
Yeah, same with the recent paint integration they've previewed, it's just bad.
I was visiting Charleston South Carolina recently and in the old quarter they have horses taking around tourists on carriages (like little mini horse drawn open air buses). The smell of horse piss and manure in the area was gross and very strong (this was summer). I can't imagine what it would be like to have that many horses in NYC as the main mode of transportation. The smell back then must have been awful. I get everyone just put up with it.
I see that makes sense. I do trust this isn’t being done without evidence I just didn’t understand why the evidence wasn’t being discussed. Thanks for the clarification this explains things.
- Carplay/Android Auto

Are there any headunits that only support one or the other? The cheap Chinese unit I got last year supports wireless for both. It would be nice to have an open protocol though, so third parties could develop alternative UIs.
A pretty good overview of open source solutions in the space.

Missing out on one of the most useful areas for tracing which is time travel debugging. There are a number of interesting solutions there taking advantage of hardware trace, instrumentation, and deterministic replay. Even better when you get full visualization integration so you can do something like zoom in from a multiple minute trace onto a suspicious 200 ns function and then double click on it which will then backstep to that exact point in your program with the full reconstruction of memory at that time so you can debug from that point.
The Galaxy screensaver from the XScreenSaver Collection shows star streams rather nicely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBprAm9w-Fo
I’m working on something in this space that doesn’t exhibit the issues you mentioned, and it could potentially be useful to you.

Can I get in touch with you for a demo and to get your feedback?
Sure you can. Even if the key is rotated monthly for 20 years, we're talking ~4 KB of memory for all the keys.

But remember that this isn't being done for security; it's just adding a minor barrier to casual removal of the tracking information. And if users really want to circumvent it on the links they generate all they'd need to do is copy the regular URL instead of using the Share button.

(Again, not that I want to see them do any of this.)
If Android phones can run non-Android VMs of the user's choice, the phones will gain new purpose.
Quantum annealing is the only truly useful quantum computing architecture to date.

I further believe that someone will figure out an algorithm that runs on classical computers to match the speed of quantum annealing, thus the Quantum Annealing machines, while currently useful, have a limited shelf life.

Shor's algorithm, which runs on Quantum Computers, requires the use of many repeated cycles of small rotations of qubits in the complex plane of the Bloch sphere. These are analog operations that accumulate phase error. It's not possible to use error correction with these operations, as those techniques necessarily sacrifice information in the complex component plane, leaving the real component "corrected".
And known for censorship https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship_in_South_K...
Apple did actually open up the network, there are plenty of third party devices that are 'Find My' compatible. It's intended for integration into things like bikes or scooters.

You can buy tags from AliExpress for $5 that implement it. I've been using a few for a couple of months, and no issues so far.
So from your perspective it would be oke if randomly thieves enter your home, "take" some stuff from you and leaving behind a calling card so you can arrange to get paid for it.
DR-DOS was a viable product for many years.

It first appeared as a product to compete with MS/PC-DOS 3.x releases in the late 1980s. XT-class machines were still on the market, and Windows was far from unchallenged dominance. If you asked in 1989 what computing would look like by 1995, "OS/2", "Unix", or "something we haven't even imagined yet" were viable guesses, probably even more so than "That clunky Windows/386 shell will subsume almost all drivers and functionality, but you'll still need a glorified version of DOS 3.3 as a bootloader."

Aside from whether DR-DOS was a compelling retail product, it served an important market purpose: it forced a price ceiling for MS-DOS. This probably spurred Microsoft's questionably-legal bundling and pricing strategy, but the end result is that OEMs weren't paying $150 for a copy of DOS through the 1990s.
That’s exactly the kind of difference between json and jsonb that you gotta keep in mind. Object properties are unordered, but a json string is very much ordered. It’s the same sequence of characters and lines each time, unless you parse it and dump it again. So if you want to preserve an unmodified original json string for some (e.g. cosmetic) reasons, you probably want json.
What's up with the whitespaces in the second font. How can you tell what is even a whitespace there.
Does anyone have a code for Beeper Mini and not just desktop Beeper ? On Android Beeper Mini always asks for a 1.99$ a month fee or a referral code and regular beeper codes do not seem to work.
"the solution to runaway complexity is more complexity"

okay, more nuanced than that. but from the perspective of someone who spends far more time reading code (and patching it or packaging it) than writing it, i worry about that mindset.
i'm going to guess that this is korean protectionism at work under the guise of valid regulation. look at the Apple location services, google maps, uber/lyft, etc. basically any industry that could have a "home grown" version gets some preferential treatment through some bs law or national security. for better or worse, chaebols own korea.
Free as in doesn't cost anything and free as in freedom are not even remotely the same.
The same goes for maps in Go, which now explicitly randomizes map iteration with the range keyword to prevent developers from relying on a particular ordering. Neat trick.
Except it's a poorly formatted document because it's not formatted to fit screens of different width, which is huge (phones are a thing)

Also you haven't solved another huge fail of the most basic digital workflow - copy&paste - by pointing at the motivation of the author since "except spaces" ruin it for everyone, not just professional data extractors
For the $1.99/mo subscription fee via Play Store in-app payment.
Can you link the sources for this. afaik India still has net neutrality and no bills tabled recently against this.
> You can recognize them because hardware not commonly used with untrusted guests does not get a CVE.

This is not true. Even non default configuration of any software or hardware that contains a security vulnerability can get a CVE. It has in the past and will again in the future.

Source: I have assigned over 2000 cves for the kernel.
It's easier for more people to afford broadband than a 4080 though. It only needs like 30 megabits or so.
Unfortunatelly this is the state of software these days - half-baked libraries + incremental improvements. This doesn't work in most cases. I wouldn't call it mistake though, open sourcing anything is a good thing.

The right solution is a library like this with proper cross-platform abstraction. Then you can simply compile css-in-js to stylesheets to have caching, therefore fully utilizing platforms capabilities.

Who cares whether css is written in css files or js files or whatever. Abstraction + solid tooling (compilation) + ide support is the way.
Apple devices with a secure enclave have the ability to attest to their identity, and also attest that keys were generated on a secure enclave (this functionality is very locked down for privacy preservation purposes, but is certainly available to Apple). If Apple is willing to lock out any device shipped without a secure enclave (which would probably be an excessive number of Macs at the moment - the iMac only started shipping with a T2 in the 2020 model, although the iMac Pro did have a T1 earlier than that) then it's absolutely possible to restrict access to actual Apple hardware with no risk of key interception.
> because they want to support macs

Well, CUPS has been owned by Apple for a while, "want to support" is an understatement.
This is interesting, congrats! I'd really like to try it on my own, without booking a demo. Is it possible somehow ?

Thank you!
The blog post does mentioned the lack of a static type system as a drawback. Although it sounds that what he really wants (cause of his prototyping remarks) is gradual typing similar to typescript.
If you follow SemVer strictly, the version bump is not necessary unless the number of rerenders is part of the documented API.
Thanks for sharing. I find it super fascinating that we can model macro phenomena using game theory constructs and validate them with experiments. Very cool. I’ll see if I can get hold of the paper. Cheers
Is this a serious comment? If so, why lotus 1 2 3 over the trillions of other more modern spreadsheet applications?
I suspect that Microsoft being Microsoft just wants to abuse GPT to drive more traffic/sales to their existing (shitty) products.

Give Microsoft AGI and they'll use it to program blow-up dolls that walk around telling everybody how great Teams/Bing/Azure is.
No, only the pols in charge.
I don't understand your comment.

Of course people ask "why clojure", we're curious!

> Why such an emphasis on what language stuff is written in? Why does it even matter?

Because different languages (and especially different paradigms) are different. The choice of language affects the project's future prospects, productivity, expressivity, maintainability, developer satisfaction, ease of finding developers, and a million other things.
Imagine the amusement of said AGI when it reads that us humans are so arrogant to think that any intelligence must come with a full set of our petty human emotions including that of be annoyed by somebody's arrogance.
What a coincidence I was thinking about this feature just a couple of days ago and couldn’t remember the name of the Wadsworth Constant.
Why Most Agent AIs Don't Work (Yet)
They could probably require a new check but whitelist already registered numbers.
I don't believe meld embeds any git specific support, but if you configure git to use meld as the tool for diffing and merging, then when you use the git CLI to display a diff, it should invoke meld

e.g. in the CLI you might do something like `git diff commit_a commit_b -- some/path/in/repo` to show the diff from commit_a to commit_b limited to some path

Refer to the "configuration" sections for

https://git-scm.com/docs/git-difftool
https://git-scm.com/docs/git-mergetool

these git documentation pages mention meld (along with many other diff tools).
I don’t know I agree with this perspective. The internet is in many ways an unsafe space & surfing it with JavaScript in allowlist mode (e.g. blocking by default) should be in the bag of tricks users can use to mitigate some potential issues. One may also want to automate scraping these docs to put in another tool or in a new, independent search engine whose MVP isn’t including a whole JavaScript runtime (and can be trick to read from the source code if using a tool that generates docs from comments instead of a generic file so the output HTML is easier to consume).

Setting a good example & being a good steward of the net is something docs like these could/should provide; that is to say, the author could make the static parts static & offer a <noscript> with a brief description of the interactivity the user might be missing. The docs are likely coming from dog-fooding the library, but came at the cost of making static content maximally available & providing a noscript message.
> tends to give subjectively better responses to "bad prompts".

I wonder if a first pass with another model to expand these so called bad prompts into better prompts would work.
Do you know of anyone who's built that kind of time travel debugging with a trace visualization in the open outside of Javascript? I know about rr and Pernosco but don't know of trace visualization integration for either of them, that would indeed be very cool. I definitely dream of having systems like this.
What a terrible alternative though

Is the goal to read text or code?
I need to be able to tell what's a space between variables and what is camelCase
I'm not a fan of Node, but I think you've misunderstood how it works. Ignoring web workers, Node is a single threaded event loop based system. When you make an i/o call with a callback, that can run the i/o call immediately as non-blocking ... if it suceeds or fails with a final error the callback can be called immediately (or queued for later, whatevs), if it returns EAGAIN, that fd is added to the event loop's select equivalent, and the next pending event is processed or the select is polled again. When that fd eventually is ready, your callback is called. This doesn't require multithreading.

Traditional Javascript is missing the basic concepts that allow for reasonable shared memory multithreading, if such a thing exists. WebWorkers allows for multithreading without shared memory. There's some ability to pass messages between workers and the main script, but I haven't explored this in Node.
Commit 592de110d15c55512f8254b38051e3a61853eb82 looks weird. I don't have the time to read the code, but mod 9 instead of mod 8 in a chess-related program looks like the off-by-one has just been "fixed" in the wrong place.
it’s literally why i just won’t buy clothes online anymore, not at all. and i know this is anecdotal, but so many people have been telling me the same thing over the last year or two.

so often i’m disappointed, over and over again when i order online vs buying from a store. whether it’s the quality is terrible, the color is just wrong, or the fit is weird, buying online is an awful experience and seems to be getting worse.

i can’t tell you how exhausted i got over time waiting for stuff to arrive, wasting time going through the exchange process, having to ship it back, waiting yet again for the new one to arrive, and then let down again. rinse and repeat over and over, so frustrating.

i know how ridiculous this next thing sounds, but it’s just so much more satisfying doing a full on trip to the mall.
I was going city centre to city centre. If I lived near the airport I’d probably have taken the plane instead.

Being on the train is just a lot more relaxed in my experience. It’s much quieter and there are far fewer changes to make.

Having to be there an hour or more early now obviously makes things less convenient on the train than it was for me when I lived in London 15 years ago. I got there half an hour early and it took less than 10 minutes to get through security and passport security.

Last time I flew into Heathrow it took me 40 minutes to get from the plane to Heathrow underground station with no checked bags and no queue at passport control.

It’s probably not as bad flying on a larger plane from London where you get a gate but I’ve spent well over 30 minutes taxiing and waiting for the bus to meet the plane at Schiphol which was about as long as my flight from Norwich.
I worked on a team with a metric and associated goal of x% code coverage. So of course, even negotiating what x should be resulted in a week's worth of meetings over a quarter. And the "branch coverage versus line coverage" war was long and ugly. When the metric was finally in place, it was of course immediately gamed to test getters and setters and to avoid the hard to test, sensitive integrated parts of the code.

This, in the same organization where another team was told by it's VP, "don't schedule time for unit tests, we are too far behind schedule for a luxury like that".

All this to say, #3 "coverage is not a substitute for thinking" really hit me in the (grumpy) feels.
Nope. It was right there in my music collection where it doesn't belong.
They couldn't clear dead horses until Sunday as the roads were too busy and crowded...
Yes, they didn't have to do that, and I certainly appreciate it. I think this business model is going to work for them, and the timing couldn't be better with the recent kerfuffle about Nothing's terrible attempt at this. They knocked it out of the park here especially with the no-compromise completely functioning end-to-end encryption.
You can stop giving them ideas while YouTube is still a service I genuinely like.
The 23andMe Data Breach Keeps Spiraling
Great work, this looks very cool and seems to work well. I hope one day to see a local backup option, as it's important to me that my chats are not lost.
Google has been working with great deal of effort for decades to stop people from using urls. From the integration of the search function in the address bar to the famous mangling of links returned by Google searches. It's why sites like urlclean exist.
They still run a server on your behalf to translate from Apple push notifications to Android ones. Somehow they were able to do it without compromising the end-to-end encryption too, which is awesome.
How many people here have a different "reading voice" vs their normal conversational voice? Can conversational models be trained even if much of the training data sounds "scripted"?
I think it's possible to match on a subset in principe, but I don't know if/how this is implemented.
Most users don't care abt mv3. My parents would continue to use the browser without adblocking if I don't install it, just because they don't have the skills to do this. They don't even think about this. Just extrapolate for the entire world
Same thing I've noticed for Instagram links and many other different apps. Most of them have started tagging the link, to track the user, or check who interacts who, I think.

Those who don't want clean link manually, can use link cleaner apps or uBlock origin in browser.

If you want that, just cancel the subscription immediately. You still get the free trial period and you can subscribe at the end if you want to. Works for any Google Play subscription free trial AFAIK.

Good luck doing the same in PDF with embedded javascript, which is the stuff that's not designed, not HTML
If you think you can trust Google because they are not interested in robbing your bank account, then you have fallen well for their deceptive campaigns. Google is just a next level robber that operates on corporate level.
