I guess I'll just say "meh" -- it doesn't negate the main point, which is that Apple spent a lot of money and time to acquire rights, and they have a music store.

It is gated by iTunes, just not 100%

I know some people side load stuff on devices -- there's no device where that's impossible.
Oh! Great article and, if the evil twist of fate would force me to write an export, I hope I would remember and use .usv

But I can't agree on 'default tools' - anything bigger than 3 columns is PITA to look at and I just Ctrl+H to replace the commas with tabs or \r\n (or whatever), depending on the format.
At some point 'standart tools' doesn't matter anymore, because it doesn't worth to even use them on such files; think of 'jq'.
If you care about the condition of books you buy, don't buy from Amazon. They'll throw a $100+ hardcover in a lightly padded envelope and chuck it around. Or they'll put it in a box with some other random item and a few inflatable shipping bags, but not enough to keep things from shifting around freely.
A Retrospective of My Coding Adventures in 2023
> Do we even know if there was a degradation between a 1960 ford and 1985, or is it because the Japanese and German automakers raised our standards?

I know because I've driven cars from both eras. GM and Ford cars from the late 50s required a lot of maintenance by modern standards and they guzzled gas and they would kill you if you had a crash in one. But they were built like battle tanks: Lots of steel; very little plastic.

By the end of the 1970s, US cars were built mostly out of plastic. The issue was not that they required more maintenance. The issue was that they fell to pieces on the highway. If you left one sitting in the sun for a year, it would turn into dust. They were utter, unrepairable crap.
The "point" of writing an essay appears to me to have been one of those proof-of-work challenges that are relatively easy to assign and grade, but very time consuming to write; I can't recall any cases when the student actually had anything original to say, which the lecturer was really interested in discussing.

So seeing that essays aren't a good proof of work anymore, lecturers would need to come up with a better one. Or, heaven forbid, allow students to actually do something productive with their time.
The thing is, once you learn how to do tree operations, they aren't that hard to do.

I'm not talking about learning how to balance a binary tree in the most efficient way possible. I'm talking about the basic ops of breadth- and depth-first traversals of arbitrary trees.

I feel like we live in an era of software development that took a stupid meme about "inverting a binary tree" as a job interview question and--not knowing anything about trees--turned it into received wisdom that "trees are hard".

But they just aren't. And yet so many people live in fear of them and go to great lengths to avoid having to learn how to use them.
Ah I think where you're going wrong is trying to merge master into PR 2. Instead you should just rebase PR 2 on top of master. Git will automatically figure out that PR 1 has been merged and drop it. If it doesn't for some reason you can just do an interactive rebase.

Git history isn't "the truth" until it's shared. There's absolutely no issue rewriting history history for your own edits that nobody else is using yet. You do that every time you press undo!
Street markets also known as bazaars.

Restaurants, food trucks, consumer electronics, medical devices, clothing, products chain delivery,...
it's v useful if you want to abort, e.g. when editing an interactive rebase & decide to not go thru w/ it.
That seems like the weirdest take ever: ripgrep uses pretty standard PCRE patterns, which are a lot more common than posix’s bre monstrosity.

To me the regex langage is very much a reason to not use grep.
Probably yes, but also probably the person who would check for this kind of thing was probably let go already :P

You can “help” your friend who is bootstrapping his startup. You can even book a room in the office and meet with your friend there. As long as you are available for work in the office, it can count as “training”. Just don’t be blatant about it. Like, reserve rooms on a different floor every day. Or I imagine that is how it would be done, I definitely didn’t do this when I was benched on this big company for months.
Can you explain this 'common sense'? I was under the impression that Tether was in the business of taking USD (with the promise of returning it) and earning interest on that USD without paying any interest on it. If that's true, it sounds like a dream business to me
This was the first question on my mind as well. How will this affect the one-man webshop owner or software developer? Seems only big established firms will be able to conform to this?
Because they don't decide this on their own. A smart CEO gets board approval before going on a hiring spree, so afterwards, if the CFO shows a negative forecast, everyone can go, 'Oh, who could have seen this?'

CEOs get fired if the board loses trust in their abilities.

If I could be paid to browse HN and make my un-sellable software synths and path tracers all day I’d be as happy as can be. Even if I could theoretically work on something I could sell, I’d probably rather write something fun than something useful if food on the table was already secured.
"Half of the difference is due to flares that aren’t burning[ at all]." So it's not flaring that's the problem--it's non-flaring.

You could do the same analysis for wind turbines that don't turn, solar panels that don't sol. What we do know is that natural gas beats the shit out of coal on every measure climate bros claim to care about and it doesn't require digging up half the world's minerals to waste on early-stage renewable technology that is almost certain to require far less cobalt and God-knows-what else when the technology matures.

that's the weird part for me. I'm not some moral angel who's never pirated, but I don't wear it as a badge of honor. Sometimes I needed a horribly expensive textbook, other-times I was just greedy and did it because I can. IDK when the internet suddenly shifted from walking in the shadows to pretending they are Robin Hood for their brave easy downloads over evil billion dollar corporations.
Former L8 there. Terrible culture, full of fungible engineers and leaders that suffocate everyone else with endless meetings and pointless process, with occasional patches of brilliance that keep it from collapsing into a quantum singularity of suck.

But TBF, any company squeezing the last few drops of blood from their stones is going to behave similarly. It's a great time to be paid a pile of money to hate your job.

* A 25A fuse will conduct 52A-110A for 5-10 seconds, which is about the 2x in my original post.

* For shorter time periods, this goes up a lot (150-260A for 100 milliseconds).

I'm getting down-voted, but no one is posting contradictory information. This discussion feels more like reddit than HN.

As a footnote, at least in the US, in the 21st century, I've never seen a house with fuses rather than breakers. As you point out, copper is expensive, and a breaker is $10-$15. It's not only more convenient, but saves more money elsewhere.
Boeing urges inspections of 737 Max planes for 'possible loose bolt'
I highly recommend installing a decentralized ventilation system with enthalpy exchanger in often used rooms like the sleeping room.

It's super efficient and improves air quality a lot when your building is highly insulated. The enthalpy part is important because winter air is pretty dry after heat exchange. Bonus points when you can fit good air filters (ePM1 50%+). Also, some systems offer a summer bypass for cooling in summer without AC as well as "smart functions" like orchestration of multiple devices or automatic control via CO2/humidity sensor.

Central ventilation is unfortunately very hard to retrofit...

In some movies those are actual real money. Just the top layer.

Am I right in thinking that if you were a small indie OSS developer that offers commercial support or similar "services", all these regulations will now apply to you?

While I get they new draft has changed it so if you are non profit or accepting donations it doesn't apply (I think?) The biggest problem is that isn't a great model for OSS anyway.

A much better model imo is charging for a "pro" version with support included and maybe some extra features.

This regulation is likely to totally kill the viability of that model if you need to do expensive security audits.
Which option is that? I'm scanning the ugrep page, but nothing is popping out to me.
a major issue is that commercial land owners don't want to be residential land owners. You're talking completely different requirements. Many owners would rather a property sit empty for 5 years before selling than convert and try and make a profit back over the next decade.

The first item in the list, the T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM error message, doesn't say anything about why the error is referenced that way. That's Hebrew for "::". The idea of using languages other than English to describe things is a big topic in itself, but to read the entry you'd think it was just nonsense letters.

My FAANG adjacent company is following the exact same practices. The goal is to "manage out" without paying a severance. They do this by making people miserable - fake PIPs, constant blaming, putting everything on "performance" etc.

My coworker got fired this way but I learned something amazing from him - his management was ready to cull him as soon as his project finished. This guy quickly figured this out and instead of quitting, he essentially stopped working hard. Then, he started giving fake status reports leading the management to believe that work is getting done. One fine day, he was let go.

But management was left picking up the pieces after his departure. With few engineers around, it led to lots of outages.

Suffice to say, my company is losing b2b customers because my company decided to fire people who were keeping the services up and running.

You know, the word "history" might be abused by git as much as the word "friend" is by facebook.

It is true. Amazon was always brutal, but two-pizza team six-pager culture was a great place to rule in hell as opposed to serving in Heaven as a generalist at Google. Two-pizza team six-pager culture died sometime during the last decade. At a guess, when they imported so many AI academics and they brought all the toxic worst practices of academia to bear on it.

The Applied Scientist title at Amazon is the single worst thing they ever created: 15% higher comp and stock if any L10 or up decides you are one, a 100% political position that set everyone against each other just like separating the bonus for the success of Google+ from the rest of Google did in 2011 (was there for that idiocy myself).
Layoff of contractors, not employees.
Dude your VP rocks. Amazon sucks, RTO sucks, but none of that bad stuff will happen. The machine will keep chugging, and no one cares.
I understand the need for the us to sacrifice somewhat in order to tame the bigger bad.

However, the us is operating from weakness here which is not okay and the situation should have never been allowed to develop to this point. Ironically it may be outsourcing and offshoring in the first place that led us here.

US critical infrastructure development should not be outsourced to countries who have any contact with countries that are we are in a proxy war with.

I've had a few outright duds with them, but mostly their product has been as expected.

EXCEPT, they ship mostly in plastic envelopes. And the items not infrequently get damaged during transit.

I have a set of "very good" Magnum PI DVD's that I expect shipped that way. But the DVD's weren't secured in their box. The season 4 plastic case slid far enough out of the boxed set to get dinged and broken. The internal DVD holder's mount is destroyed and the DVD's are just floating around in there.

I was stocking up on some older, "classic" CS titles, and I ordered several together (free shipping on orders over X dollars...). They arrived all crammed into one plastic envelope that looked like it had been dragged along for a while behind the delivery truck. (In reality, this is what the distribution center belts can do to an object, and a heavy package in a thin plastic envelope does not fare well.)

With just a thin, flexible plastic layer for protection, a number of corners on these "very good" books were bent and beat up. I've had covers arrive abraded. One title had one end of the binding crushed.

I still appreciate getting several titles I've wanted for way off cover price. But I wish they'd take a bit more care when shipping.

And, you never know what you're going to get. With them, I've taken to trying to order such that DVD's and Blu rays won't ship together with books (you can imagine what happens). But, when an item may not effectively ship for up to a week, this takes some schedule juggling and follow up. Plus, that used item may sell out in the meantime. And it also means sometimes foregoing the free shipping you get by clustering items.

I guess these are all first world problems, but it's frustrating. Plus, good condition items get trashed for the sake of lack of care / expediency in one step. Wasteful.

Show HN: Precious Metals Manager
All-in-one app that provides analytics and metrics to manage precious metals portfolio efficiently.

The app offers an intuitive UI, enabling users to input their coins, bars, or rounds and instantly obtain real-time insights into their value evolution. Users can assess their assets based on dealer prices, generate exportable reports for tax filing, access charts for strategy overviews like dollar-cost averaging, and use tools to track live prices of gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. Additionally, the app provides a catalog for identifying bullion coins.
Old story retold. The Claudian Roman government doubled down on the distinction between barbarian and Roman civilian and used shitty rhetorical tools to denigrate the barbarians. This all despite the fact that most Romans farms and undesirable jobs were still being done by "barbarians." It's almost like looking into a mirror of history. The end for Rome was not far beyond Claudius.
I know it's not cool on HN to say "did you even read TFA?" but seriously, read TFA!
I would argue VR is not a neutral example.

In the physical world, space is a limited resource that sells at a premium. You have benefit from things being in a reasonable distance for walking/traveling. Being near water has real-world benefits for transportation and trade as well as agriculture.

A virtual world is still based on fundamental spatial concepts like needing to travel, having benefit of proximity/association, and so on.

So there needs to be a specific set of decisions made on how to deal with spatial assumptions when they go counter to your design goals:

- Games have instanced areas because otherwise there would be physically too many people to move, or allow you to walk through other people to get around.

- A chat service might represent _your_ rooms off a hub, rather than a megaplex conference center of all rooms.

- Individual zones might be represented as distinct 'worlds' with portal entrances, to allow for each to have its own spatial rules (and even physics), where each has its own sense of layout/locality.

each of these has their own sets of trade-offs, but importantly you want consistency for users. That set of trade-offs literally lead to representing the world as a walled garden.

That is before you get to business interests being first and foremost around succeeding with their own products, not interoperability with nonexistent or noncooperative competitors. The market has to hit a point where vendors agree that interoperability is important enough to accept the tradeoffs that come with it, before any technical effort there can succeed.
Remember, it's never too early to write down AND notarise your wishes related to your health and death.

Make it plain, make it official, tell people you've done it. That way your relatives and family can't keep you alive forcibly "because that's what they would've wanted" or some other misguided reasons.

They aren't. The rules you mentioned can be fit on a single page.

Kill switches based on attested binary identity exist and can be deployed at scale. So they can and likely will be used to comply with regulatory decisions. What remains to be seen is how those regulatory decisions will be made for complex software supply chains.

In part, open-source software arose in response to opaque software.

Can opaque regulation equally govern open and opaque software?

Should open software have open (i.e. continuously evolving in public, not point-in-time negotiated) regulation that can keep up with open development and security research? Much will depend on the operational practices and transparency of national institutions tasked to implement EU CRA.
> I remember one job I had where I didn’t need an IDE all that often and I would spend nearly as much time configuring Eclipse again upon the next time I came to use it, as I was spending time writing code in it.

So basically the same as setting up and configuring a development environment today, except that nowadays it's a lot more centered around the command line and involves a bunch of disparate, half-documented packages/tools from GitHub (and that also inexplicably require 10 to 1000 times more space and clock cycles).
>and fail to cite you, people pitch a fit, even if the idea wasn't all that big a breakthrough

depends on the idea and how you expressed it. No one is making you pay royalties to Newton every-time you calculate a revenue from a line graph. No one even cares if you talk about, say, Machine Learning on a podcast. But if you say you invented Machine Learning (somehow) you'll get more scrutiny cast on you unless you are in fact an authority in that domain.

But sure, if we are talking about genuinely coming up with the same idea, there are cases where two thinkers independently came across the same idea as contemporaries. Part of copyright law takes that into account.
I think they mean making people's lives miserable enough that they quit. Presumably they can live with whatever Amazon throws at them, and keep taking a paycheck until fired.
Temporal Augmented Retrieval (Tar) – Dynamic RAG to Detect Emerging Topics
You're mixing disciplines. Separation of concerns is a computer science principle.

It very much doesn't happen much when one is designing analog electronics, which is where fuses come up. If I'm designing a piece of medical equipment, it cannot kill a patient with any single point of failure. That's a systemic design issue, and any device, including a fuse, has to be seen in the context of the system it's plugging into.

It'd be possible to separate concerns, but it would result in grossly inefficient, over-engineered systems.

You do get a bit more of that in electrical (rather than electronics) work, since you need to count on idiot contractors who will screw everything up.
