Yes, I do. I only have issues with Beeper and Beeper Mini. In fact, months ago, when I tried to set up Beeper, my Apple ID got into an "account lock" endless loop for over a month - every few minutes, I would get a popup that my account is locked, I go through the unlocking process, and a few minutes later, the whole thing repeats meanwhile asking me to rest my password.

In the past, I tried creating an app password as well, but it didn't work either. Now, it fails to create an app password, but you still can't log in with an app password.
We had a 2003 model and what finally sold me was when I learned you could lay 4'x8' plywood sheets flat in the back of it. Which I did several times.

That generation was unfortunately plagued with a faulty transmission design and ours went out at 105K, just after the extended warranty ran out. Got no grace from Honda on the repair which soured me a bit on the company. That said, we did get 12 years and 230K out of it before I sold it used for $3K.

Pure decimal integer literals (like 86) are typed as "int" in C, rather than being typeless and triggering type inference. This is a pain when you accidentally write something like this:

uint64_t n = 1 << 32;

On modern desktop platforms, an int is 32 bits, so 1 << 32 is 0, not 2^32, even though a 64-bit integer is wide enough to support that.

Regardless, it's not relevant here, because if an integer and an unsigned integer of the same size are compared the integer is implicitly cast to unsigned integer, and 86 is fine for both signed and unsigned integers (so "MAX(npins, SYS_kbind)" is safe).
In reality cats are man's best friend. Dogs are a child surrogate, except they never reach an age where they're independent. Which is probably half the appeal: they never outgrow us, unlike our children (or our cats).
Plywood has entered the chat
Several decades ago I was hired by a multinational bank to do software development, and one of my first tasks was to glean as much information as I could about one of the competitors' ATMs. My manager gave me a letter (on company letterhead) to carry with his contact info that described what I was doing, in the event security stopped me for spending an inordinate amount of time going through as many screens on the ATM as I could and writing down things about the UI. (Spoiler alert: nobody stopped me.)

I'm not an expert in airport security at all, but I'd bet dollars to donuts that anybody doing physical pen testing of that type will carry documentation describing who they are, who they work for, and what they are doing.
I'm not too familiar with the situation in Portland, but I have heard that programs which decriminalize drugs and provide care centers are not effective without existing social nets such as solid unemployment programmes and public health programmes that treated addicts can use to get themselves out of the socio-economic hole they got themselves into

Maybe the US is lacking in those programmes and is why the drug legalization programme is not effective in Portland?
Epic vs Apple was decided by a judge. (The judge suggested a trial by jury but both Epic and Apple declined.) Since the judge decided it there's a written record and rationale for the decisions. Epic's argument was "Apple has a monopoly on the Apple App Store market". Apple's argument was "we don't have a monopoly on the games market". The Judge's decision was: "Apple doesn't have a monopoly on the digital mobile gaming transaction market". This was later appealed and the ruling was upheld.

Epic vs Google was decided by a jury and God only knows what they were thinking. (All jury notes, doodles, etc are destroyed afterwards).
Any kind of companionship, even a mouse, can provide that kind of emotional support, but that says nothing of the animal's intent or ability to harm others. They are solitary creatures whereas dogs are social creatures. It's little wonder they would be carriers for parasites such as Toxoplasma gondii, whereas dogs aren't
And a big share of parents are thinking “this is a really smart solution!”

“Bad behaviors” are almost always rooted in chronically unmet needs, over/under stimulation, hypersensitivity, general lack of control, sibling jealousy etc etc.

its a good idea to treat them as symptoms to investigate rather than ”behaviors” to eliminate.
Correlation/causation
There are many factors influencing adoption, including prior experience (I'm using it at work) and network effects (that's what my friend use). What native controls offer is seeing the whole OS as one thing. But with the advent of branding in software interface, people are expected to relearn what a control is for each software (Spotify vs Music).

> When you've got an inflexible, counterintuitive UI kit that developers must fight with to get the results the interface designer carefully put together, you hurt the usability of that tool for end users a hell of a lot more than mediocre performance does.

I have not encountered a UI kit that does not expose the 2D context to create a custom UI. But designers always want to redo native controls instead of properly using them, creating only the necessary ones. I don't believe anyone can argue that Slack UI can't be better.
I feel like we domesticated dogs and selectively bred them to follow commands and do what we want. For cats it's more like the other way around, they domesticated us and still have their complete independence.
> Its funny how "binding precedent" doesnt apply to the same court that gave both decisions.

I dunno, the fact that precedent is only binding when it is from a higher appellate court to a court subordinate to that appellate court isn't what I'd describe as "funny", just rather sensible.

> Thus precedents mean nothing

Not that I've seen any inconsistent legal ruling offered between the two cases. The fact that the broad outline of the case is similar doesn't mean the decisive legal questions are, but, yes, precedent from a trial court decision isn't binding (same or different court), only, at best, persuasive, and then only if it is a citable (published) decision in the first place, which most trial court decisions are not.

> Jury is free to give arbitrary decisions.

Well, no, the jury is "free" to give answers that the trial judge finds to be reasonably supported by the evidence to the questions the trial judge poses to the jury.

And that's not directly affected by precedent anyway, precedent only governs questions of law, not fact, and juries don't answer questions of law, only fact.
I can choose what number I want to send from when using two SIMs. It's shown as "From" below the "To" when you write a new SMS using the new message button. In an existing conversation you need to tap on the contact icon and change the "conversation line" there.

> The researchers conducted an extensive study search across various databases and gray literature from January 1, 1980, to May 30, 2023, without geographical or language limitations. They included studies reporting original data on cat ownership and schizophrenia-related outcomes. Out of 1,915 identified studies, 17 were used from 11 different countries.

cherry picking studies to find some meaningful signal. Meta analysis is not a thing, it's just pseudo-science.
There's so much BS around toxoplasmosis online. And apparently in this article. Here's corrections for two common misconceptions:

1) Almost everyone who has it got it from eating undercooked meat, not from cats. France has the highest rate of toxoplasmosis in the world because of their propensity for rare meats: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5312802/.

2) Unless your cat lived a long part of it's life as an outdoor cat, it is very unlikely to have the parasite (like any parasite).

So I suspect toxoplasmosis is completely uninvolved in any correlation they may have found.
I don't understand all the hate that Epic gets. They give away games for free, they don't block alternative clients for their store, and they fight the good fight against Google and Apple. Sure, all of these benefit them, but they benefit users as well. If it weren't for this lawsuit, you can be sure we wouldn't have https://developer.android.com/about/versions/12/features#aut...
Just wait. Generating > hosting.

You said your predictions came true in your last comment, now you're saying "just wait". If "generating > hosting" (whatever that means) why are all the companies making the most money the ones that host?

It's fucking difficult.

Anyone can buy stuff off of amazon and set it up. We can see that by how many people have youtube channels. Anyone could make their own movie and put it on youtube but we don't see much of that at all.

You'll never know who could have been the best.

You haven't confronted why we don't see the same stuff in scripts, novels, plays or other forms that don't take the same amount of effort.

The truth is that it takes practice. It isn't about some innate ability as if there is a good will hunting cinematic genius sitting doing nothing because he doesn't have generative AI.

I honestly feel that the majority of the 'cats are anti-social' is due to them being in chaotic households. we've rescued a number of cats over the decades and no matter how antisocial the family claims they were before they got rid of them, after a year or so they are just cuttle bugs in our house, which is quiet and very consistent schedule wise.
I'm reminded of a this monologue by a crotchety Philology professor from Stephen Fry's The Liar:

> Early in the term he had flung a book at Adrian's head in irritation at some crass comment. Adrian had caught it and been shocked to see that it was a first edition of _Les Fleurs de Mal_.
>
> 'Books are not holy relics,' Trefusis had said. 'Words may be my religion, but when it comes to worship, I am very low church. The temples and the graven images are of no interest to me. The superstitious mammetry of a bourgeois obsession for books is severely annoying. Think how many children are put off reading by prissy little people ticking them off whenever they turn a page carelessly. The world is so fond of saying that books should be "treated with respect". But when are we told that _words_ should be treated with respect? From our earliest years we are taught to revere only the outward and visible. Ghastly literary types maundering on about books as "objects". Yes, that does happen to be a first edition. A present from Noel Annan, as a matter of fact. But I assure you that a foul yellow _livre de poche_ would have been just as useful to me. Not that I fail to appreciate Noel's generosity. A book is a piece of technology. If people wish to amass them and pay high prices for this one or that, well and good. But they can't pretend that it is any higher or more intelligent a calling than collecting snuff-boxes or bubble-gum cards. I may read a book, I may use it as an ashtray, a paperweight, a doorstop or even as a missile to throw at silly young men who make fatuous remarks. So. Think again.' And Adrian had thought again.
This is very cool - I like the layout too (though I couldn't find a way to see a total list of authors surveyed, which I would have liked to see)

(As an aside, always happy to see "A Gentleman in Moscow" appear in anything to do with "best book" lists!)
I've been bought out by a French company twice in my career and worked closely with developers in Paris for years, and at least in my experience, this is still very much the case. There wasn't a track for senior IC and at the time I was a Principal Engineer who had reported directly to my (exited) company's CTO. I was used to pretty much free range, being treated as equals to the front line management.

Paris managers didn't know what to do with me, why this keyboard jockey kept requesting meetings and taking on projects. One manager treated me like I was lost and even tried to add me to his Jira board. After quite a few conflicts I finally asked for a title change. Boom, instant cred, no more weird issues.

Super generalization of course, but my experience was harsh and blatant. I could tell a lot more stories to back it up mainly because I thought it was so odd.
It's like being a gyroscope for an instant... which the space station also has?

Some of my best and favorite experiences have been while camping, you have a point.
There's no extra "safety". It's money in both cases.
That's kind of a childlike interpretation, and mostly fits an anti-apple agenda. The two cases are only similar on the very surface, and nothing alike within the cases themselves.

Epic accused apple of being a monopoly, and using its monopoly power to price gouge.

The judge in that case ruled that Apple's online store is akin to a physical store and physical stores have _for centuries_ charged monies to shelf products.

--

In the Epic vs Google case:

> that Google has monopoly power in the Android app distribution markets and in-app billing services markets, that Google did anticompetitive things in those markets, and that Epic was injured by that behavior. They decided Google has an illegal tie between its Google Play app store and its Google Play Billing payment services, too, and that its distribution agreement, Project Hug deals with game developers and deals with OEMs were all anticompetitive.

These two cases are not alike, not similar, and thus have dissimilar outcomes.

If Apple is not allowed to continue to charge for shelf space, then neither can walmart, Publix, or any other physical venue. That will never happen in the USA. Stores have centuries long tradition in charging vendors for shelf space to display and sell products.

Google was naughty, naughty, naughty, naughty. Google exhibited anti-competitive behavior in 4 different areas.
Also most cases come from eating undercooked meat, not cats.

There’s virtually nothing in that clip that is factual and it’s not internally consistent. There would be no mystery about which chip is the BIOS, it’s not even self consistent with the claim of it being “off the shelf” junk. You could just dump the thing. And even if you couldn’t, 7 segment displays and other niceties were available. The oscilloscope stuff has no basis in reality.

HCF is a fine series with good storytelling, but the technical stuff is all window dressing and should not be examined too closely or confused with the real deal.
Mittens and muzzles.

(I'm joking, I'm joking!, look, we're 4 levels deep in HN's 50th joyous t.gondii thread here, allow me this innocent shitpost)
I agree. An ideal middle would be to have the income of the career ladder but the mobility and freedom of the simple life. Some kind of clear line between them.
If you ever watch the videos of the cats going outside with a camera, they almost always end up meeting up with other random neighborhood cats and interact and play. I don't think they're as solitary as people think.

We have a number in the house and they enjoy each other's company.
A couple of years ago there was an urgent care clinic near me that put up a big banner that said "Now open 24/7" and in smaller letters underneath, "Closed Sunday, Monday, and Thursday". Presumably they had a novel definition of "/7".
At least among my friend group they are hated for poaching games and turning them into exclusives.
Toxoplasmosis does not primarily infect humans from cats, and never indoor cats! Undercooked meat is the primary vector.
As someone living in a third world country and seeing that happening in many sectors, it's the second quickest way to market degeneration (the first is straight up threats of violence).

You really do not want people paying to block competition from arising.
> Lookup "jury nullification" if you're curious to learn more about juries giving arbitrary decisions.

Nullification only applies to criminal cases (the discussion here is about civil, not criminal, law) and only in one direction. Lookup "directed verdict of acquittal", "judgement as a matter of law", and "judgement non obstante veredicto".
Cortex A76 hardware was absolutely not available in 2018. That's when the IP for the core was announced. It takes years to get from that to mass-production hardware.

The dates that SBCs came out is relevant, and a very consistent data after the announcement of the CPU core.

C910 core announced July 2019, SBCs delivered June 2023 (Lichee Pi 4A) and December 2023 (Milk-V Pioneer). ~4 years

U74 core announced October 2018, SBCs delivered February 2023. ~ 4/12 years

A76 core announced May 2018, SBCs delivered in mid 2022 (Rock 5) to December 2023 (my peordered Pi 5 arrived this week). 4 - 5 1/2 years

A72 core announced February 2015, SBCs delivered June 2019 (Pi 4). 4 1/2 years

A53 core announced October 2012, SBCs delivered March 2016 (Pi 3, Odroid C2). 3 1/2 years

Very high priced prototype hardware based on "shuttle run" chips can be available as much as two years earlier. High end phones are also often around the same time, as one or two privileged chip designers often get access to beta core IP well before announcement and can drop final RTL into an already designed SoC.

Some things are also announced long before they are delivered, while others are announced when stock is already available.

But actual delivery of SBCs to customers occurs a remarkably consistent amount of time after formal announcement of CPU cores.
One thing to note is that with a row-level security implementation like Postgres you can pretty much do this already. For example, if you have a table `users` with appropriate RLS policies, `SELECT * FROM users` will only return the rows that whoever's doing the selecting is allowed to see.
It still won't solve the root of the issue. Android bubbles will still be green.
Will Apple be impacted by this case?
In my case, they lived in my neighbor’s unkempt yard and a few secluded spots from when the previous neighbor raised chickens. This summer, they moved out and the house was vacant for a month. First time in 20 years we found mice in our house. We did have them in our garage about 10 years ago until I changed some things.
> They are solitary creatures

They're not. Feral cats form colonies with complex social structures: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feral_cat#Colonies

House cats are much more solitary creatures that are very jealous of their human slaves' relationships.

See this was my first thought but then it occurred to me that they’re trying to bypass people who are meant to be inspecting your stuff, does part of the job become “sneak past with this bit of paper” or do they carry nothing official on them to make the test more authentic, having paper documents risks biases towards staff procedures that would catch people with the document and thus end any pen testing attempts with potentially only a perceived improvement to security when they could be failing to catch people with usb drives or whatever else they are meant to be on the lookout for…

Nope, it's for blocking others to create alternative play stores on non-google devices.
I have an iPad Pro 12.9 (6th Generation). A few weeks ago someone ported KFD (kernel exploit) to the M2 which allowed for the install of TrollStore and by extension, other applications. It irritates me how much you can't do with the device because of the app store. I was running Mario Kart Wii (game) at 1440p with 16x antialiasing fine. The hardware is very capable, but Apple unnecessarily restricts the capabilities of it through software.
Only somewhat related, but many of the comments highlight the importance of not using "rat" as shorthand for "rodent." Cats will happily sport-kill their way through mice, moles, and even rabbits, but they tend to leave rats alone because they are big and fight back.

> Prohibition was a massive success where did you get the impression it didn't work? Nothing has ever reduced domestic violence or alcohol related deaths as much.

It also more or less created organized crime in the United States, and laid the foundations for every illicit-business-at-scale that would follow it. Of course it reduced alcoholism: alcohol was illegal, and anything made illegal will be necessarily reduced in availability. But it didn't get rid of it, and it made the alcohol that remained far more dangerous:

- The economics of smuggling meant that lighter alcohol like beer and wine were far less profitable to transport than hard liquors like whiskey, bourbon, vodka, and moonshine. SO MUCH moonshine.

- Because the aforementioned products were illegal, there was now zero government oversight involved in their production and distribution, meaning you often had no idea what the fuck you were actually buying and if it was any good, or hell, even safe to consume. Much like the war on drugs, and, if you wanna get REAL political, the fall of Roe v Wade, making it illegal, be it booze, smokes, pot, meth, or abortion doesn't make it not happen: it makes it unsafe.

- Worse still, the legal issues meant that if a particular establishment was selling unsafe liquor, you couldn't do shit about it because, again it's illegal and any report to authorities about the lack of safety put you in legal hot water. This meant the enforcement that did exist was basically down to the aforementioned organized crime rings, who didn't bother with a jury trial, they'd just put you in a hole out in the woods.

And, naturally, no taxes are paid on all this commerce that is very much still happening, and is riskier to the people engaged in it, to suit the puritan sensibilities of a loud minority. Which is probably a big part of why it was no longer the law of the land. And that's all before you consider the fact that it flies directly in the face of all the individual freedom that this country's supposed to be built on in the first place (not that that's usually true, but in such matters, I think we should strive for it.).
Maybe he is an Apple shareholder. There isn't really another logical explanation.
Third party clients flatten that mole hill.

Edit: like legendary
This is still the case and all the money is sucked by the management that is growing faster than the developers and just stratifies slowly. Another important point is the one of countries want to control a domain before even beeing big players in it. Look at LLMs and the recent European legislation. This mean that not only companies will be chilled from starting anything, but that the people that could have made that possible will just go elsewhere. In some European countries there is also a caste system where you need to be coming from a specific kind of school (or in some companies a single school usually the same as the C-suite is coming from) to even be considered as hireable. Starting and maintaining a company is also extremely difficult in some European countries where the paperwork, tax and permit burden is just incredible compared to the U.S.
