The article quotes a story from the Zhuangzi. Here's a free audiobook of the first 7 chapters (the "Inner Chapters") of the Watson translation on YouTube.

I quite like this translation, and I think this voice actor reads it well.

Speaking purely for myself, (curious what other people think) my preference is _always_ for the link to go to the most "principal" source. Then, in the comments, add a link to a pop news article or the comments section.

I hate links to twitter posts, feels like undeserved promotion of Elon Musk. Just find what the twitter links to, or the actual research paper, and submit that.

Links to reddit are okay, it's devolving, for sure, but depending on topic sometimes I find more intelligent comments there. (RARELY)
Google fi works fine on messages and uses rcs.
> Europe is light years ahead of the United States in that regard.

The available data doesn't support your conclusions:

> Until proven otherwise, I treat every cultural and regulatory difference between the two places as a contributing factor to that, rather than an obstacle to be overcome. The US is a nightmarish country to live in, unless of course your wealth is significantly above average.

Their richest country is slightly richer than our poorest state, even if comparing GDP per capita.

> Kind of like assuming that there must be something wrong with urban planning in Paris or Berlin, because there aren't any skyscrapers in those cities.

Skyscrapers are expansive, while Europe growth over the last 20 years has been only a fraction of ours.

> The US is a nightmarish country to live in, unless of course your wealth is significantly above average.

Then why do we have a net immigration from Europe, instead of a net emigration?

What extra evidence do you need to recognize that poorer countries, with fewer opportunities than we have, less infrastructure (skyscaper...), and an active immigration to the US are maybe not good places to live?

People voting with their feet is the only indicator I'd trust.
I think the author is confused here. HTML belongs to the internet of the library and has been feature complete for some time now.

For the internet of the shopping mall you would use HTMX or some such and that should be enhanced or pimped to the max by all means. Inline, webassembled and reactified riding the tailwind. Go for it, knock yourselves out and make a killing. How about bigger screens for all the popups?

I agree that Apple does have that monopoly. I guess the difference is that Google actually does technically allow third-party app stores, but used their monopoly position to squash them, at least in the realm of pre-installs?

I'm not sure why this should matter, though. I don't see why it's somehow better to use technical means to refuse to allow there to be a competitive market, than to use shady business deals to ensure a competitive market doesn't grow.
I don't know if this was the case before, but yesterday I asked a question, and it thunk for a while before answering: "Based on the title of this video, it may answer your question", then provided a link to a YouTube video. The video did not answer my question.
It may not make life for the addicts better, but it won't make life for them much worse either

Seems like a hard claim to back up. What would “moving” the homeless from, say, Portland look like? Setting up a giant slum on Mount Tabor? Building a network of trailer parks? I can’t imagine any answer to “let’s concentrate all these undesirables somewhere where we don’t have to look at them and they can’t interrupt us” that ends up being a nice trip for said undesirables

Think about why homeless people go to downtown centers of big cities: community, institutional support nearby, income, tradition, and (relative) safety from police. How would you turn that back? What do you do if someone walks from your camp back to downtown?

I totally understand your frustration, but our failure so far should lead us to examine the obvious structural issues at fault here, and not abandon our fellow man and give in to the more basic instincts to push them away
> Are you saying everyone in your social circle willingly vendor-locks themselves by using an app that is available only on a specific device?

The problem is this isn't how a non-technical audience views the problem. To them, they get a fully featured chat (rich media, reactions, hi def photos, etc) with most of their social circle. They don't have to install anything, they don't have to sign up for anything, they don't even have to remember different credentials, it just works. Best of all, it just works across their ipads and macs, too.

Sure, it doesn't work for a portion of their friends, but from their perspective, their friends are the weird ones: why wouldn't you switch to a phone that has a "better" experience like this?

> By no means there is a shortage of messaging apps and protocols

This is a bug, not a feature, in a world where there's no common clients that work across all those ecosystems. You go back to 2008ish and you have half a dozen clients that speak Jabber or XMPP. You can sign into GTalk or Facebook Messenger or (gods forbid) Yahoo Messenger all from the same application, and it all mostly works. Now you have a zillion apps and a zillion logins and some of them have nice features and some don't, but without interop, there's an upper limit to the number of chat apps people are willing to maintain to just talk to other people.

Especially when, for Apple users, the best one is already on their device.
> For example, the cultural differences

This makes the first 300M market harder and the next 300M easier.
You're being down-voted but both KGB and CIA have used similar tools already. Essentially, "remote poisoning guns".

I'm on a Apple Silicon Mac and I see Japanese, for what it's worth.
I think the point of the page was that unless the site/app/program is explicit about the language being displayed, you'll get Simplified Chinese. As HN is an English-language site, it uses the default. Similarly, your terminal doesn't prioritise Japanese over Simplified or Traditional Chinese.

By way of contrast, if you paste that into the search bar on https://yahoo.jp/ , you'll get the appropriate Japanese characters, as that site is explicitly Japanese.
So this might be a problem specific to Portland. The government is structured to fail. Hopefully it changes.
Serious question: Where would be the best place to try to buy land now?

I now assume we won't do enough to mitigate serious climate change.
I have a wireless charger next to my bed, I go into the shower, put it on there, come back and it's good for another day or so.
Interesting, none of the editors I just tested (notepad / visual studio / sublime / github) works like this.

I think of undo/redo as "time traveling", going back to where I was one / two / several steps bevor. The mental model of your implementation is more akin of actually "doing" the undo. Like if you undo insert " world!", you create an action that deletes " world!". The timeline still goes forward, but now has a delete action.
That’s not how parallax works. The wider field of view of the ultra wide camera will show some of the scene that the other camera doesn’t see, but over overlapping parts of the scene the parallax is a strict function of the location of the two lenses’ entrance windows.
I assume by being on HN you work in the tech industry. Assuming so, you owe your career and livelihood to the openness of the systems that came before you and the people that built them. Locking everything down in the name of safety and convenience is also a great way to prevent innovation and competition.
The ranking the article links has the US below the nordic/germanic countries, but above most latin/eastern countries. As a European-American, that squares with my experience.

How does Google compete fiercely with Apple's app store?

I have an Android device. If I can't find something in the Google store, can I go to the Apple store?

We can stretch the argument to say that a power company in Los Angeles competes fiercely with one in Miami, because if people don't like it in Los Angeles, they might go to Miami (and take some of their appliances with them to a power company there).

Thus power companies are not monopolies: people can move. Q.E.D.
Kind of valid. In Portland "housing first" has been all the rage, but having lived with pretty severe addiction for some years, and spent lots of time around fellow addicts in considerably worse circumstances, it's pretty hard to imagine that a house on its own is some kind of solution. Especially when compared to a support network and high quality addiction treatment, medical care, and mental health services. In terms of sustainable recovery, the former is a luxury, while some combo of the latter are essential requirements. Of course, having all of them is by far the best.. man, addiction is a bitch.
CCPA came after GDPR. What makes you think this is an exception?
I don't see why the Microsoft case is all that relevant; it's not like Microsoft is the archetypal definition of monopoly behavior in hardware/software, and only companies that do things the Microsoft way should be punished.

I personally don't think the distinction you point out should actually be important at all. The end result is an anti-competitive platform, and that's all that should matter.

If we go by the oft-used test of consumer harm, consumers get harmed in exactly the same way on both platforms, with higher prices (due to percentage fees that you can't opt out of) than if the market were more open.
I think what they meant could be rephrased as, "for as long as there's been an App Store, it's been part of the OS. "
Yeah that was kind of my point - there is no significant friction to expand as a business across the EU.
Anecdotal and also not sure how reliable this info can be but I am the developer of HACK which is available on both iOS and Android and I have a significantly larger user base on iOS than android.
Still amazing that orbital elements can be known so precisely (although, at 50 miles, Leona is a big puppy.)
You're right. I don't know why, but I didn't realize that neither method of multiplication required you to use more than 2 registers here. The use of a temporary register was probably coincidental. Maybe it wouldn't have used an extra register if it had needed to spill to the stack in order to use one, and instead maybe it would have written one of the alternatives you wrote. Thanks for letting me know.
> Research into Lazarus Group's attacks using Log4Shell has revealed novel malware strains written in an atypical programming language.

Thank you for the tip. So Log4Shell was eventually created by Western security agencies.

And i always though they were russians, chinese or (north) koreans. /s
So, how and why are they "sitting on unspent funds"? Are there delays in building plans or legislature slowing stuff down?
We appreciate you
But that's the point: Google don't have complete control the "Android" that ends up on other vendor's devices. So Even if Google says "we won't allow other stores on <Google brand> phones", that doesn't prevent Samsung/etc from enabling it in their own customised builds.
Look up lead plumbing in the Roman Empire and the documented case of many emperors and council members being more "aggressive" than usual.
The non-US world overwhelmingly uses Android more than iOS, and yet everyone's personal security has not crumbled into dust. I will absolutely agree that Android's security posture (both in the OS itself and its app ecosystem) is worse than Apple's, but that doesn't seem to make all that much of a practical difference, does it?
> Maybe one of these days I will get far enough past the ADHD wall to make it happen...

I have that hope for literally hundreds of things... but I know I will never actually get to do any of those things. I can think of any one of them right now and be unable to even try. I hate this existence.
You don’t have to watch others rot just because they are alive - you are choosing to stay alive to do so, and can change your mind at any time without imposing on anyone else’s rights.
A LAN party setup might still prefer this lancache setup for better experience depending on your network setup. This user talks about clients preferring (and maxing) a slower Steam client to a faster server with a bigger pipe: https://github.com/lancachenet/monolithic/issues/85#issuecom...

A smarter implementation could handle it better. But probably not an issue for the majority who aren't at lan parties and are at home. I also find my own Steam client will only connect to 1 host, and not attempt any others before falling back to downloading from Steam.
This is actually less problematic on a Mac and on iOS (if you speak the language) because the rendering engine actually prioritizes CJK set according to OS' language preferences (System Settings → Language & Region → Preferred Languages).

It's a much bigger issue on Linux, Android, and Windows prior to Windows 10, however.
> Code reuse techniques (ROP, JOP, etc.) aren’t impacted, right?

One thing to note is that system calls can no longer be made from the program's .text section; only from within libc. This is highly important because of ASLR: in order to ROP into a syscall, an attacker must now know where libc is located in the virtual address space. Before this mitigation, an attacker that only knew the address of the program binary could search for a sequence of bytes within the .text section that happened to decode to a syscall instruction, and use that for ROP (code reuse techniques can often access a lot of unexpected instructions by jumping into the middle of a multibyte instruction, due to x86's complex and variable-length instruction encoding).
This introduces an additional X-ray scan for TSA precheck members compared to the current metal detector.
A langage runtime would dispatch to the libc, which is always whitelisted.

This is only an issue for the weirdo langage runtimes who’d also refuse to use libc.
Agreed. This suggests to me that homelessness and drug use may be orthogonal problems.

If you triple my rent over the next 10 years, without raising my income, then I'm gonna be homeless. No drug use necessary, batteries included, no assembly required.
It's always interesting when someone assumes that failed strategy X would have obviously worked if only had it been pursued even harder.. you might be right, but it seems like an odd assumption to make given the circumstance.
Cheques was canned by the banks a long time ago here - you guys still using paper - how quaint.
>Linux's interface is still archaic compared to windows 7 unfortunately.

I'm amused that I find myself preferring Windows 11 Explorer with its bloody worthless context menu and taskbar to anything FOSS has to offer.

GNOME? It's sincerely cancer. KDE? No software actually uses it. xfce/LXDE/et al.? Look, I'm not going to use a GUI that demands I go CLI some plain text files to change settings.
Unless, like me, you have both Japanese and Chinese IMEs installed :(
Maybe I misunderstood, or maybe you did.

But I thought the parent question was about watching the spacial videos — as 3D — on non-Apple VR devices (e.g. Quest).
Your DNA can change, and has changed -at a spot in sensible people's arm- in recent years.
This is great. It's like the UX equivalent of the Stackoverflow dev survey. Thanks for sharing!
It's not that Android is open or locked down. Google can do whatever they want with own handsets, like Apple does, but Google is using their influence to affect the software market on other handsets.

Laser cutter material typically less expensive than traditional extruded/vat 3d printing.

But, scaling up to 3d printed cement[3]/clay[4] can cover a lot more ground.

With practice should take 42 or less scans of real world mockups[0] -- can always keep scanning till get to 42 if get it right on first scan.

Alternatively can scan in partial mockups and use software to 'value-add' partials by concating together to make complete 3d printable model.

Being careful to mind copyright and related usage terms, check out publically available 3d printed sites for models to use/slice & dice[1]/practice on.[2]

Less experience overall (5+5 years), but I strongly agree. I think the main reason for this are the incentives, which halvarflake mentioned briefly in his post.. if you can directly affect valuation of your company (which in turn directly drives your own net worth through ISOs/RSUs etc), working hard actually becomes fun and rewarding. Take that away and a 10-3, 4 weekdays, 60+ days vacation, work life balance kind-of-job starts looking a whole lot more appealing in comparison.
> If Apple is not allowed to continue to charge for shelf space, then neither can walmart, Publix, or any other physical venue

When Walmart charges for shelf space the supplier isn't completely out of business if they don't take the deal. They can go to a different store, settle for non-prime shelf space or sell direct to the public. Those options are just not available to app developers - for many categories of app, Apple is the only way to make a profit at all.
Elon Musk "prepared to go to prison" if U.S. government tries to censor X
You generally become senior by getting exposure and proficiency with lots of different concepts which is the opposite to the spirit of your original comment here (hence the downvotes, I suspect). Only going with what everyone else is doing is how you become junior N times over.
Absolutely. From the Munro interview it sounds like Tesla currently have one Model Y coming off the line every 42 seconds, and they're aiming to halve that.

From what was said, the second best in the industry right now is about one vehicle every 60 seconds.

Elon has said many times that just like Starship and Raptor, the product itself is not nearly as revolutionary (or difficult) as the production system to produce it at scale and speed.
I thought we solved this with alcohol already. Can you drink? Yes. are you allowed to be shit faced drunk in the streets? No. Are there lounges to drink safely and responsibly? Yes.

Granted, it may be much harder to make a "drugs bar", but we can use comparable metrics to deem who is too unfit to independently do that stuff and if they need intervention.
Couldn't agree more. It's bizarre to think that one company should be punished because they theoretically had a competitive platform, but did some shady business deals to keep it noncompetitive; but another company is completely in the clear making a platform that is noncompetitive by design, with technical measures in place to ensure it can't be.

I kinda get how it plays out that way in a legal sense, but it still baffles me that so many people can simultaneously support this ruling against Google and continue to praise Apple's practices. Cognitive dissonance (and the Jobsian RDF) is a thing.
What kind of computer is this that Linux doesn't run on, and can't you just make Linux run on it?
My understanding is that very few consumer lidar sensors work well in daylight. It's hard to send out & detect significantly meaningful pulses of light, when there's sunlight all around.

I have an Intel L515 which is pretty remarkable in that sometimes you can get some depth finding outdoors. This is just a hobby item for me, I'm not an expert, but this launched as a fairly impressively long range & capable $350 USB3 system, and it seems like the market hasn't much comparable to it. Phones certainly I'd expect to be significantly worse.
The US actually had it right when the antitrust laws were written. The Libertarian Party and Austrian Economists fucked it up for the rest of us by convincing everyone that "no, actually, antitrust is just about prices and consumer welfare, not control". This interpretation was ahistorical and illiberal, but it became history regardless, like to the point where Originalism as applied to antitrust law is derided as "hipster antitrust".

America's failings in economic development and infrastructure are not strictly caused by monopolization of the economy. South Korea's economy is run by like three chaebols[0] but they have working infrastructure. The problem with America is that we have a government that doesn't like to spend money, plus a group of illiberal, antidemocratic NIMBYs who make budgeting impossible by jacking up the cost of projects after they've already been estimated and committed to.

Since I already shat on the Libertarian Party, let me shit on the Democratic Party next. California and New York have legal climates that are unusually hospitable to NIMBYism. They figured out how to weaponize environmental review laws, to the point where actual reports about environmental infrastructure necessary for mitigating or surviving climate change say that we can't build the infrastructure because it'll get tied down in NIMBY red tape. In California this manifests as delays, cancellations, and massive wind farms in Wyoming; in New York it's cost overruns as bribes are paid to whoever can look the other way to get things passed through. Either way we can't build shit in our most populated states.

If there's a root cause for all of this, it's "vetocracy". In a democracy, when a decision is made, the people on the losing end of this decision agree to lose. However, since at least the 1970s, there has been several parallel movements to roll back decisions already made and form new mechanisms to prevent new decisions from being implemented. Antitrust was a rollback, NIMBYism was a new mechanism, but in either case, we're being dragged out of our brief experiment with liberal democracy by people who stand to gain from it.

Linguistic identification can in principle be a bit smarter than that. Aside from the obvious "if it has kana it is Japanese" metric, there are also differences in code point choice which differentiate Simplified, Traditional, and Japanese. Fully accurate identification is certainly expensive, but quick early-out heuristics could be developed.
