I tried to build a zero-dependency editor of the same ilk and found it an insurmountable task. I garnered an immense gratitude for modern font-rendering, though! As someone that loves Swift, I think sticking with ObjC for this project was a great move. The default level of abstraction in Swift lends itself nicely to writing apps, but begins to feel like a bit of a different language at a sufficiently low-level (raw pointers, byte-arrays.) C is as low-friction as it gets for these things (though cuts like a knife in return.)
> Not while in the office for most of them.

I was prepared to dispute this, but now I'm not certain. According to capitoltrades.com, a site that tracks US politician stock trades, 213 politicians made trades within the last 3 years. Assuming those are senators and congress members, then it's fair to say that most aren't making trades.

That said, the GP comment that asserted "their power and insider knowledge makes them a lot more than that overall" isn't incorrect. 213 politicians take advantage of their elected positions to profit from the stock market.

In this case it's easier to bypass SSO with a set of oauth2 creds, but the aws and azure clis support SSO login by opening a browser to authenticate and generate a short-lived api token that gets passed back to the cli. So it's definitely possible for terminal apps to support SSO.
I'm not disagreeing with this article (I know nothing of this field) but this Wiki article and many others explicitly state that Urobilin[1] is the compound that makes urine yellow.

The posted article states: "Urobilin has long been linked to urine's yellow hue, but the research team's discovery of the enzyme responsible answers a question that has eluded scientists for over a century."

So what exactly was discovered? It sounds like "what makes urine yellow" was not discovered, but instead "what enzyme makes Urobilin" (or something like that).

On the other hand, yelling or insulting someone is not automatically emotional/psychological abuse, so the GP's point stands. Not every bit of somewhat violent behavior is even problematic - human interaction is much more complex than that.

But sure, lay it out for us: you think that the author of the study is biased. So, what does that mean? Did he fabricate the data? What exactly are you implying?

It's possible that the applicant attributes they wanted were a violation of U.S. labor law, but they also knew that as long as they didn't explicitly say it, they couldn't be found guilty of violating the law later, so they leave it to you to guess.

It's a personal blog (which didn't even go down), so the damages are zero or negligible.

And it's probably not defamatory at all, because the bar for what's "reckless disregard" for truthfulness is quite high. "We run a commercial service that identifies malicious websites and 0.01% of them are unintentionally false positives" is not gross negligence.

edit: (To defend myself because I'm getting piled on in votes)—I agree that this shitty behavior, but I just don't agree that there is or should be a legal remedy for it. You all have way too heated hot takes, HN. There's no life-changing injuries here for which five-figure attorneys would be a proportionate investment—this is, no offense, just some blog which did not go down, and everyone will have forgotten all about this by Monday. This is just not the kind of conflict the legal system is meant to resolve!

This post was great, so I added the RSS feed to my reader and I almost instantly removed it. I always knew those "7 Best Writing Apps for iPhone (2024)" posts were only there for SEO, but seeing a post from 2021 with that title is frustrating. This post appears to be the only non-SEO-related post in the feed.

Not trying to take anything away from the author: the app and this post look great. But consider doing more writing like this and breaking them out into a dedicated, non-SEO feed. I'd subscribe to that in a heartbeat.
>My parents forced me to take typing lessons on typewriters in the 90s

same for me as well. I was originally only going to take a single semester, but wound up taking the second semester as well. The first semester was all "A space S space D space F space" and gaining the muscle memory on how to type. Probably one of the single most useful courses in school for my everyday use. The second semester was much more focused on being an executive assistant with emphasis on how to properly format documents and that kind of thing. Easy-A GPA padding course, but I didn't complain too much since it was one of those classes where I was the only male in the class. They started us off on the older clackity-clack style arms, but if you became fast enough to out type the machine, you could progress to a speedball.

Yeah I'll go further.

- It doesn't display the dad as a bumbling idiot for a start, an unmistakably uncommon move in home set shows.

- It doesn't synthetically force women to the center stage for the sake of scoring points with left leaning audiences.

- It doesn't shoehorn in political messages that don't belong and largely harkens back to a time where childrens television didn't require scrutiny of the publisher just to see if it fit the parent's flavor of morality.

- It largely fits the actual day-to-day life experiences of individuals who are most likely to have kids young enough to watch Bluey, namely millennials.

- Parent's are main characters in a lot of the episodes: The parents in Bluey aren't some side-object only included for the sake of completeness. The parents are main characters and are developed as thoughtfully as the children. By doing this the producers were able to garner attention from both the children and the parents. It's honestly a bit of a shame that we've sidelined parents for so long for fear of offending people.

- The show unashamedly depicts an intact household with two loving, heterosexual parents. It's "stunning and brave" in the current culture.

- The show depicts two children who are absolutely uninvolved or unconcerned with their sexual identity, despite the current narrative being that they are the age at which they should be.

- The show is diverse, but not for the sake of checking a box. There is no prioritized group in the show and tension between the breeds of dogs are displayed as equitable and able to relate to one another with minimal conflict (much like in real life, despite what you may have heard).

- There is no mention of a god. There is no big G god, nor any pagan gods. There are no "spirits", no "forces", no "inner being" that is wrestled with. It's a kids show and stays a kids show.

I could go on, but at this point I feel I've overstayed the common HN user's tolerance.
I tend to agree. There’s too much room for subjectivity in this definition for it to be a useful statistic. Physical violence is relatively unambiguous and severe, but these emotional/verbal boundaries have no clear definition. My mother got insulted the other day when I added mayo to a sandwich she made for me because she finds it distasteful.

While verbal and emotional abuse are absolutely real, there are many parts of aging that inherently feel undignified. Are they really being talked down to or insulted in all these cases, or are they just being made to hear something they don’t want to hear? Like, grandpa, we love you but it’s best for everyone if you stop driving now. Mom, stay out of my bedroom (I’m an adult now and this is my house).
The rule of thumb I've always heard for C++ is that anything non-primitive should be passed as a reference (or a pointer if you really have to) unless you have a good reason to pass by value (and normally you won't). Partly because of the ABI, partly to avoid copy or move constructors.

It's a tedious low level detail, but that's what you have to pay attention to in C++ if you want the best performance. And to be clear, it is just a performance optimization - the struct passing code will work fine, just not as fast.
Given your small town example, it makes it seem like if we are going to have a minimum wage, it should be legislated lower than the Federal Government. As you said, states are moving past the federal minimum wage already, and it is seemingly successful.

> "It's like driving on a gravel road versus driving on a freeway," de Heer said. "It's more efficient, it doesn't heat up as much, and it allows for higher speeds so that the electrons can move faster."

Does it allow for higher speeds? I thought resistance increases the number of collisions the electrons make with the molecules in the material, heating up the material, does it actually change the "speed of electricity"? If anything, I would think it might actually increase, similar to water in a smaller pipe (see current formula below). Either way, I don't know if this (possible) change in speed is in any way significant when it comes to computing.

I = NeAVd

Where Ne is the number of free/conduction electrons per unit volume,
A is the cross sectional area of the wire, and
Vd is is the drift velocity.
> You’ve invented this fantasy distinction that separates the two, but this doesn’t exist in law or precedent

This does indeed exist, Microsoft got in trouble for this back in 1989: https://www.seattletimes.com/business/microsoft/microsoft-tr...

This has nothing to do with unions. Microsoft was using contractors to do full time work, misclassifying them. The grandparent comment claimed this is what Google was doing, which is not at all what the NLRB filing alleged.

> individuals with specialized skills who work on the Music Content Operations (“MCO”) team, run virtually all aspects of Google’s YouTube Music platform

And a contractor performs virtually all aspects of our janitorial functions. The fact that the venture Music Content Operation is staffed by contractors sure makes it sound like there's a pretty clear separation between contractors' work and FTEs. If the filing explained how both FTEs and contractors staffed the MCO and they were doing the same functions, that would be supporting your claims. But it doesn't.

I read a conspiracy post about how the kids' voices were AI (clearly not) but the post also pointed out many examples of audio clips being recycled across episodes. I notice it while watching now, so I think you're on to something here.

Conversely other shows have had many different voices actors without noticeable detriment by their targets audiences, such as Peppa Pig, discussed elsewhere here.

That's because of the dynamic nature of JavaScript, you could do that in Swift too but that'd be a lot of dynamic dispatch for a static language...
Funny thing here though is that the password being ridiculously weak was not an actual factor in the hack because it was exposed by credential-stealing malware.

Even if the password had been complex it would still have been exposed by the malware so it's not really the cause of this disaster. I don't agree with the headline.

It's still stupid to have such simple passwords but in this case that doesn't seem to have played any role at all.
My understanding is that in Haskell, all instances of type classes are explicitly declared. They don't have to be declared at the type declaration, but they must be explicitly declared. Unlike Rust, Haskell does allow orphan instances, so you can approximate some of the flexibility of structural typing, but it's still not structural like interfaces are in Go.

That's a significant difference in the design space. And, in particular, it makes generics harder. With explicit instance declarations, you have a natural place to define the type parameters of the instance itself and then specify how those map to the type arguments of the type class being implemented. With implicit interface implementations, there's no place for association to be authored.

I'm not saying Go's solution is better or worse, just that it's not them half-assed cribbing type classes. It's a deliberately designed different feature.

(My actual opinion is that I think interfaces in Go are more intuitive for users and easier to learn and use, at the expense of losing some expressiveness for more complex cases. Whether that's the right trade-off depends a lot on the kinds of programs and users the language is targeting. In the case of Go, I think that trade-off makes sense for their goals.)

I get so tired of functional programmers claiming to have invented everything first and assuming that what other languages do are just failed imitations instead of deliberate differences with important subleties they are overlooking. In particular, in these kinds of discussions, the "Haskell/Lisp/Smalltalk did it first" folks rarely take into account trade-offs, usability, or context when evaluating features.
When you can look at some code in a repo and immediately know who wrote it, that is usually a problem. I've worked in code bases where the devs could not agree on style and they each did their own thing. It quickly became an unmaintainable mess. Having a homogeneous code style is a good step towards long term maintainability. It has been many years since I've worked on a rails repo that didn't have rubocop. Glad to hear rails will ship with rubocop.
We've both always just did the "stick it out the trunk with a flag" or "tie it to our roof rack" thing when getting stuff from HD.

If you don't believe in aggregating different measures of intelligence, you can simply not aggregate the different categories of questions in IQ tests. For example, you can separately average just the shape rotation or language questions. One reason that's unpopular is that there's a gender difference: males (on average) score higher at shape rotation and women score higher at language. The standard IQ tests carefully balance questions to make the average IQ of men and women equal. If a school said "we think the only thing that matters for our program is shape rotation ability, so we'll just look at the score on those questions" they'd be introducing a big gender bias, which is Problematic.

Having been developing iOS apps since 2009, hard to believe 15 years, this is one of the finest writeups from a developer I've seen. Congrats on your hard work and the decisions you made developing your app. You made some great decisions, i.e., sticking to native development, no 3rd party dependencies, and sticking with Obj-C.

I made the move to Swift when it came out. However, there are many times I miss Obj-C and many of the advantages you mentioned. I often wonder what Obj-C would look like today if Apple had put the time and effort into it instead of Swift.

I was not aware of your app. I just downloaded it on my Mac and iPhone. It is really nice! I like the little things you have done, like the hints on the menu bars for using the Option key, and the hint disappearing when you do. I am going to continue to use it.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. Best of luck!

The person who stated 90mpg in the linked thread is nuts. The issue isn't the regulation itself but how it's shaped the industry.

Up until very recently it was basically impossible to make a pickup truck style vehicle meet CAFE standards so they stopped making any pickups that were regulated under that standard. Instead they switched to making "trucks", unencumbered by regulations, which had to be over a certain weight (read: huge). Before CAFE, there were tons of tiny pickup trucks like the early gen rangers/tacomas. Once CAFE hit, those same trucks suddenly became huge road tanks.
It's great to see that the popular media really learned their lesson from 2016 about giving Trump endless free publicity. /s
Sure they are. The F-150 is the most popular truck in the US. It's a prestige vehicle - most buy it for the looks, and part of that look is the size and aggressiveness, and the vast majority are purchased in cities.

Obviously Ford doesn't make a truck that expensive and market it that heavily just to target the rural market, that would be suicide.
Heh, the "drive up to trashbin and call for help" approach looks workable if the bags are big enough. Looking forward to hearing about it again when it doesn't need an iOS device.

Minecraft is perhaps the quintessential example of how to do it right - you can play today on the latest, or you can download still-developed 1.7.10 modpacks (and play them on Java 21 if you want muahahah).
