I'm not so sure. All this means is some people will outsmart other people with AI support. When those other people are not us, that scares people. There really is no royal "we" here. The reality is that there are independent groups of people each making their own plans and decisions and some are going to run ahead of the others.

The point of full steam ahead is being in the group that gets there first so that "we" don't get outsmarted. It's an evolutionary concept. Some groups go extinct. Others survive and prosper. AI is now part of our tool set. Luddites historically get wiped out eventually, every time.
Nice. I gather one could generate a lot of listicles with that. "The 10 most * movies of *", "5 early but great movies by famous actors", ...

Too bad IMDb doesn't provide more data in the export. Budget, box office or country of origin would be nice.
After a iPhone theft in Europe earlier this year, I don't quite trust Apple's assurances with regard to stolen iPhones.

My phone was snatched from my hands in the street. I was able to wipe it via 'Find Devices' within a few minutes; I was able to track its location for the rest of the day, until I requested that my carrier irrevocably disable its network service. There was no evidence of any accesses of my information or accounts linked on the phone, then or since.

In the following days, it was still visible in my Apple device lists as mine, with reference information like its model and serial number – as it should have remained, indefinitely, to prevent anyone else from associating it with their accounts. (Until recently, I still had an iPhone 4 listed there that hasn't been turned on for many years.)

But sometime since then, it was removed from my Apple account – without my permission, and with no notification to me. This step would also apparently allow someone else to use the device with Apple services.

Apple Support insists only a person who authenticated to them as me could have done that, and that they have no records of when/how that happened – a policy that seems designed to help criminals cover their tracks, with no help to customers other than: "you should change your password".

Further, even if I provide the serial-number/IMEI with a police report, Apple says they can't determine if they've activated Apple services to that stolen property for someone else or provide me with any further help.

I thus suspect theft networks have figured a way around Apple's breezy assurances about locking-out stolen devices, perhaps similar to how they've often deeply pierced major telecom providers in order to carry out SIM-swap attacks.

But: if anyone on HN knows more about how the smartphone theft/fencing (chop shop?) operations typically work, or how Apple's systems do or don't protect against post-theft hijacking of registered Apple devices, I'd love to hear perspectives that either flesh-out, or refute, my impressions that Apple's related systems involve some false bluster & "security theater".
Surprised it's not more well-known but Visual Studio (MSBuild really) has had support for this kind of code generation for a while, it's called T4 (probably in reference to the GNU M4 utility).

It can be used to generate files on save as well, so as the template is edited, it updates the output files automatically.

Don't get me wrong (my fault for giving such a short statement without explanation), I agree wholeheartedly, but the wording in the title sounds a bit like Apple has a final say in this kind of thing. And maybe they have...

I imagine it depends on what's in the terms and conditions. I expect companies structure these to provide considerable flexibility.

Plus, I'd guess it also depends on how you define what constitutes an "advertisement". For example, if Amazon/Apple/Netflix puts their newest show at the top of the "Featured" list, is that an ad? What if it is related to another show you watched? What if Facebook suggests trying a new shopping-related feature? To the company, and per their T&C, these may not be "ads".
never ever finished anything useful. but i made a lot of utilities that are specific and single use for my one perpetual never ending project :')... i like making tools but i never know what for, so i make them for my OS prpject. currently making a system in rust which builds a bootloader and 2 disk images from a config file to save editing scripts. once thats finished its another totally useless tool to add to my list :D.

For one, during this war Israel has been fired upon from Gaza, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen, with Iran pulling many of the strings behind the scenes. The combined strength of these countries is definitely an existential threat.

Aside from that, the borders with Gaza and Lebanon are unlivable. More than 100,000 Israelis are displaced from their homes.

The international community does not care that Hamas is continuously committing war crimes, with respect to hostages, firing rockets at civilian population centers, and using human shields. They do not care that Hezbollah is violating multiple UN security council resolutions, including first and foremost 1701. They do not care that Yemen is firing cruise missiles at Israel from 1500 miles away and hijacking freighters with loose or no ties to Israel.

All the world cares about is how many rockets you need to store and how many militants you need to harbor to qualify as a legitimate target for the IDF.

It absolutely is existential.
My friend’s 11 year old plays games on his iPhone, downloaded from the Apple App Store.

I spent a few minutes looking over his shoulder.

A bit of gameplay followed by increasing amounts of gambling for power ups and constant reminders to buy power ups. This should be absolutely illegal.

Dark patterns upon dark patterns manipulating the kid to squeeze his parents for real money, by habituating gambling habits and normalizing a horrible experience.

Apple will never address these issues because these games make them truckloads of money.
That does look like a pure copy of Linear UI wise
There were demonstrations against Israel, for sure. The public perception so is shifting. Abu Ghraib like pictures, sieges of hospitals, large scale distruction of housing and so on and so forth.

The IDF is the heavy weight in this conflict, the Goliath and not the David. And when the Goliath, the heavy weight, continues punching the weaker foe, there is a point where he looks more like the baddy. Regardless of what the other party did initially. Not sure Israel can afford loosing support from its allies.

What does drive me crazy so, is the argument of "but they used civilian buildings, so they were legitimate targets". That's not how this works, and that it doesn't work that way is one of the reasons why asymetrical warfare is so damn hard. That argument didn't fly in WW2, and it doesn't fly now.

As the stronger party, an overreaction doesn't make you look strong, it makes you look butt hurt. The US did after 9/11 as well, and it got them nowhere. Restraint, with the hint of being able to use much more severe measures, makes you look strong as oppossed to be a bully. Goes dor every conflict at every level throughout history, not just the current one in Gaza.

An enterprise toolkit for Apache Kafka (and now another for Flink).

I spent years working in large enterprise orgs, a few more working with distributed systems. Along the way I picked up Clojure and by the power of greyskull managed to combine all those factors into a company. Now I work with a small team shipping tools for programmers. Good times.

Today we have users in 100+ countries, but it started off as something I needed for myself / my team when working on client projects.
I'm amazed that ad-blockers are not more popular.

They do require a certain degree of technical understanding, but the extension system on most browsers is fairly mainstream so I don't think it's for this reason alone.

Can it be as simple as the idea that almost all of media is universally disincentivized from talking about them? Of course there is a lot of content on ad-blockers out there, but the pressure may still be high enough to suppress cut-through to the mainstream. If that's the case it would be a nice example as to the extent of media influence more broadly.

This article is a case in point, where you would have thought that ad-blockers may have been relevant. And as a side point, perhaps also a good example of where you don't even have to be rich if you are knowledgable. Technical literacy is in itself a kind of digital affluence.

The text says it's not "by 2024": "NHTSA must be assured the technology works before it can require it, and then give automakers at least three years to implement it once it finalizes rules"

Even assuming the tech works, that's still at least 2027 before carmakers are forced to adopt it.

Thank you! I like it and people I have shown it to say it feels ”addictive”, but something is missing as I am the only person who keeps playing after some levels :D so maybe it’s for me only.
I sympathize with my need to have a proper car display.

I have a Toyota RAV4 from 2 years ago and the display is straight from the '80s.

I had to use the gps ONCE and I almost crashed into a trashbin because I had to manually follow the car pointer as it was leaving the display. Yes, that's right.

If I was Apple or Google, I would make GM execs use a 15 years old version and make it cash I've a day. Revenge.
>It's a bit weird to write a whole article on ads on the Internet and not mention ad blocking once.

Because they don't want you to know about it. Most common users still don't. Look at where the article is published: a website that uses ads.
Closed captions also provide hints as to non-dialog audio; song lyrics, musical tones, important noises in the background etc.

Personally I always use subtitles, and closed captions if it's available; there are quite a lot of audio clues that I wouldn't otherwise know are even interesting, that get highlighted - mostly extra detail rather than plot important, but it does key you up to things happening or about to happen in the background.
Well let's stick with the exclusive discussion because I'm not sure where the other is going either.

>The former are in Valve's control, the latter are not.

Why does this distinction make a difference in how anti-consumer it is? The store owner or Valve's (lack of) control doesn't make it any better for me as a consumer.

To summarize my position here to avoid more confusion: Exclusives deals don't make exclusive games any more anti-consumer. Because the deal or lack thereof doesn't effect me as a consumer.

So my original reply is that all of these exclusive games are the same level of anti-consumer. But you only notice when it's not Steam exclusives, because that's your platform of choice. I'm not blaming Valve for anything, I'm just using games on their store as an example of games you don't think of as exclusives or anti-consumer.

- We love the internet, but it can be overwhelming
- What if a browser could help us make sense of it all

My response to this.

Everyone uses the internet and thus by making such statements, this company can engage a lot of people.

I think this is an example of a problem that is far less "problematic" than what this company is trying to claim

At least, I was hoping for something more "revolutionary".
I have seen tabs on the left side, colours representing the workspace you find yourself in, themes and similar ways of organizing all the different websites you visit.

In the end of the day, here is my take (I would love to be proven wrong, though).
This is another attempt at trying to organize all the tabs you have open.
It is and not a solution to the problem they describe.

TL;DR
Another fancy browser to consider.
The blog has so much more advice than what the clickbait title would have you believe.
In many cases the law doesn’t require. People and corporations have a lot of freedom to give information to law enforcement willingly when asked. Warrants are required to force you, but if you’ll say yes if asked nicely there are many fewer protections.
I don't think any consumer-protection laws require a company to continue offering a service forever. They could surely stop the ad-free service and start a new service with ads.

But perhaps there are laws requiring companies to get explicit consent and not simply consider it a change in the existing service nor automatically sign people up for the service with the new terms (ads)?

I think there should be. I'm not a fan of companies changing their terms at will without clear notification. Clear meaning a plain English description of what's changed, not just "We've changed our ToS, read this long legal document again."
If it's sluggish then it's not working perfectly.
Nice work and the naming is just topnotch!
Putting aside your barrage of disinformation, conspiracy theories and plain lies, it wouldn’t really matter /even if/ jews lived peacefully as equals to muslims in the muslim world before the 20th century (which they absolutely did not).

The fact is, they were expelled from those countries. EVEN IF it was “safe” being an iraqi jew in 1850, it was not in 1950, and it is definitely not today. So what is your point?
Speaking as a fellow product designer... Stunning work. What an awesome portfolio!
I doubt it. You don't have long enough to do so before time passes and you're relying on your memory being accurate. At which point it is more likely that you're something similar to an artificial neural network that has evolved to operate under a remembered delusion that you exist as an entity independent from the rest of existence. It is far too obvious why that'd be an evolutionary advantage to discount the theory.

I'm not saying this has any meaningful implications for day to day existence, the illusion is a strong one. But LLMs have really shrunk the parts of the human experience that can't be explained by basic principles down to a wafer so thin it might not exist. In my view it is to thin to be worth believing in, but people will argue.

Well they're getting squeezed by the 30%, but also that the act of participating in the Steam market means they cannot sell their game for less money (to incentivize a better cut for themselves) off platform, since Steam doesn't allow you to do that, at least to the best of my current understanding. I've posted this elsewhere and had one user pretty upset that I had posted false statements, but I haven't seen evidence to the contrary yet (context is at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38624916)
Not decent at all in the sense that ROCm never supported any of them.

Oh and sadly limited to 128-bit memory buses. Orin is at twice the mem bw in this regard, hopefully AMD will address that.

I have a build-in charging pad, which I almost never use, since modern smartphone batteries are just good enough to survive a day.

The passengers have in general to stay off my infotainment system, they can do whatever they want in their own car :)

AWS RDS postgress 11.13 > 15.5

We ended up going with a relatively straight forward approach of unidirectional replication using pglogical. We have some experience doing the same migration from Google Cloud sql to AWS rds with zero downtime as well, which made us pretty confident that this will work and not impact customers in any visible way.

pglogical makes it relatively straight forwards to do this kind of migration. It's not always fast, but if you're happy with waiting for a few days while it gradually replicates the full database across to the new instances.

For us it gave us a bit more freedom in changing the storage type and size which was more difficult to do with some of the alternative approaches. We had oversized our storage to get more iops, so we wanted to change storage type as well as reducing the size of the storage, which meant we couldn't do the simple restore from a snapshot.
Can't you just never connect your device to the internet though?

That is lunacy? Unless "engine starts" and "release handbrake" is a subscription and there is a hefty discount on the upfront price. But then you can just as well lease.

Wow, super cool! Thank you for the backstory, always interesting to see how people landed in this field and what made it possible. If not for a few such chance encounters my own life would have turned out entirely different.
With a little creativity it can work well. The essentials include an olympic bar and weights, barbells, squat rack, and bench. The upfront cost isn't too bad (maybe a few years worth of gym membership). The space requirements can be prohibitive. Setup can also be annoying with limited space because it can mean dragging all the equipment to another location to use, then back again to pack it up.
It's a trade-off.

If the device is not able to receive the notification at the time it was sent out, it has to be stored somewhere, pending delivery. It's the same with email, SMS, literally every messenger app, heck it's the same with physical parcels!

You could argue the protocol should allow the sender to store the message, to allow the receiver to fetch it directly, without a middleman - and this is more or less what RSS is, except the polling architecture causes both extra latency and increased server load. But we could "fix" RSS by eliminating polling, etc - that's an easy engineering problem, the true issue would be standards/consensus.

Finally, since we're talking mobile devices, you must consider battery usage. It's cheaper to keep only a single TCP connection open; this path is heavily optimized at every layer of the stack, from network hardware and drivers to the app-facing API. Notably, email notifications have to go through their own network path (there's a couple of IMAP extensions to enable push), this is part of the reason why some email apps would like to look at your email from the POV of their own hosted backend.

These choices reflect the fundamental problems of mobile messaging. But we could still improve upon the status quo - like requiring E2EE for notification payload. That would be a huge effort though, as an app vendor you already need to implement APNS/FCM/Web (all very different from one another), and I'm sure every middleman would like to build their encryption slightly differently. Adoption would be slow and painful.
Ideas are free to be copied...
umm. it's still git. Git is basically content-addressable storage with a couple of layers on top (heads/tags/trees) which is itself content-addressable storage. If you can offload that storage to a remote, you still have git... and can use git as you've always used git. The tricky part is making it feel like the storage is local and your own, instead of shared.

You only need this when, well, you need it. You can go a surprisingly long way (nearly a decade of daily commits by hundreds of programmers) and stick to vanilla git.
Companies word it carefully, like Spotify Premium:

"Enjoy ad-free music listening".

They still get paid to promote particular artists/songs to you on the home page.
DRM by definition is on the client and opaque.

>Are you seriously proposing that a two-state solution would have served the people of South Africa as a whole better in the long run?

I'm not proposing anything; I'm just pointing out that South Africa doesn't look like some kind of success story to me, but maybe to locals it is if it's genuinely better than what came before.
