It means that Epic failed to identify a better way for Apple to collect its 30%/15% fee than mandating developers use its in-app purchase system.

Epic’s cert petition at the Supreme Court focused on the argument that it’s unfair that their identified solution needed to be equally or less burdensome, but the Supreme Court turned them away.

It's quite the opposite. We've sketched out a school platform using IPFS that allows very remote villages in third world countries that have little to no internet to still have viable "google drive" like experiences for school home work. The idea is that a single USB drive that contains all the updated files for the google drive is sufficient for the entire network (that exists in the village, that is decent, but has otherwise very low to no bandwidth to the outside world) to have access to the files. Or, a single node downloads the homework/movie/article/whatever, and the remainder of the network has access to it - through IPFS, which only asks for the content's hash, and gets it whever it can.

The same thing could be applied to space.

It's amazing the baby even came to term. Without results by the end of the quarter, I'd have expected Mom to have been taken out back and shot. Weird how the company is struggling to make progress, despite the high bar for performance.
At the very least qualifications and licensing should be required for anything critical, or for any engineers writing software that does work that would otherwise be done by a legally liable licensed professional.

Components at every stage of the design and manufacturing of a commercial airplane are signed off by licensed engineers who are legally liable for negligence, and yet Boeing could outsource the 737 Max's software to $9/hr programmers in India. Obviously physical engineering failures still happen, but it's ridiculous that there's no liable professional responsible for software that keeps a plane full of hundreds of people from falling out of the sky.

If a licensed accountant was caught lying about hundreds of people stealing from their employer to the point of getting some sent to jail he could easily do jail time for negligence or perjury. Instead some seemingly anonymous dev wrote shoddy software that ruined hundreds of lives and the Post Office gets to just say that the computer did an oopsie.
How are you populating non-SMS 2FA codes automatically?
I missed that, I guess that counts as a license. But it's fearfully short, even MIT is longer than that. But there's no grant for contributors, so you have to violate the copyright to make a contribution, even with a CLA (which is a license from the contributor to the rights-holder, not usually the other way round).
It is actually down today. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So. Transformers work well due to scale, but fall short without it. Why this happens is not known?
Business don't want online shopping to be high-friction, but Thankfully consumer opinion is pushing more for security and less for making it as easy as possible to buy stuff online.

I'll happily take this shit-show cacophony of various 2fa methods and authentication types if nobody is stealing money from my bank account or ordering stuff on ebay on my behalf.

The flip side of this - is that if companies properly setup auth and allow you to use username+password (or passkeys) and a TOTP method then this is all basically copy/paste from your password manager or verify on your phone and the process is super easy.
Why would you use a passkey manager that required a phone and BT? that's nuts.. 1password and Safari both handle syncing passkeys between all your devices - no device swapping needed.

Sounds right to me.

I remember that around 2011-2012 IIRC, back when WhatsApp used to cost 99 cents, half my friends actually paid for it.

The next few years were spent trying to get people to migrate out of other apps (like Facebook Messenger) into it. By 2015 there were very very few people using mainly FB in my circle.

The predictability of the train can be good. While I can't find it at the moment, there was an article I recently read about how repetition (in the context of Good Night Moon(?)) and the ability to be able to predict the future is useful for early childhood learning and development.

A train is very predictable - the sound, the motion, the path... for the same reason that children like having the same book read to them again and again, the train fills that role too.
The scx_userland scheduler itself knows which task in user space is the scheduler task, and schedules it when it doesn't have any more runnable tasks to dispatch from the kernel: https://github.com/sched-ext/scx/blob/main/scheds/rust/scx_r...
"Consultants across the skills distribution benefited significantly from having AI augmentation, with those below the average performance threshold increasing by 43% and those above increasing by 17% compared to their own scores. For a task selected to be outside the frontier, however, consultants using AI were 19 percentage points less likely to produce correct solutions compared to those without AI."

So AI makes consultants faster but worse. As a consultant, this should make my expertise even more valuable.
> Yes but this is misleading and missing the point: there is nothing really wrong with this person's resume/CV. There is nothing about it which is off-putting and it does the job of communicating that this person is a very experienced software engineer who can communicate clearly, and has enough attention to detail and care to produce a nicely formatted CV and that they're obviously a reasonable candidate for pretty much any programming job that's close to their centre of gravity wrt the technologies required for the job.

I agree there's nothing wrong, but (respectfully, truly) I think you're actually missing the point, possibly the is/ought fallacy? The point isn't to have "nothing wrong" with your CV/resume (which I agree OP has nothing wrong), the point is to get noticed. Generally speaking for most people, the whole point of a resume is to get you an interview. When you're competing against dozens, hundreds, or thousands of other resumes, standing out is hard, and failure to do so usually means no interview, which means no job, even when you are the most qualified candidate.
I think it's less important for indie businesses.

VC-backed startups tend to have ideas with a higher level of "originality", I think.

But that's my personal perspective...

The premise appears to be you only have to pay once for business software, instead of recurring subscriptions

I think a lot of people and companies like not having to worry about managing the software they subscribe to. Will be curious to see if there is a shift in mindsets.

Apple themselves is selling thicker laptops than they did 5 years ago. Demand hasn't really faltered because of it, and some people are even complimenting it for being less hot and having a better keyboard. Despite weight and thinness being the center of Macboook marketing a mere few years ago, now consumers have rationalized a new preference.

The value of a thin laptop honestly depends on what you sacrifice to get to that point. Jony Ive's entire career should stand testament to the fact that people honestly don't care after a certain point.
Good stuff; this and the Danny Dunn series are fond childhood memories. I still remember this joke from the hot air balloon race decades later: "...Harmon Muldoon called his [hot air balloon] the 'Green Onion,' and it looked like one. 'I hope it springs a leek,' quipped Dinky Poore..."
They don't leave on fixed time. This is a big part of the union complaints. The engineer needs to be on standby and be there in 2 (?) hours when the train is 'full'.

> One of the important features of the text-based sentiment plotted in Figure 4a is the downward trend that begins in the 1970s, roughly coinciding with the secular stagnation period studied in the macroeconomic literature

Once the authors corrected for the increasing "general negativity bias in reporting macroeconomic news," they found the data "no longer exhibits a significant downward trend over the last several decades."
You still have to talk to specific machines to get the data, so having it content addressable will not automatically make it either more or less rapidly available.

Also, even for a peer-to-peer network, you still need some way to discover the peers that actually have the data, so you need some kind of centralized infrastructure that can help coordinate. Ultimately whether you connect to a CDN or to the centralized P2P facilitator is not such a massive difference.

Also, given the way ISPs typically operate, you will probably have much better bandwidth downloading from a centralized server than from a generic other end-user.

This is why BitTorrent only really has two successfully deployed use cases:

1. Windows updates and similar, where machines can rely on broadcasts on a small LAN to coordinate without needing more complex infrastructure (doesn't scale beyond LAN)

2. "Piracy", where the major advantage is that it diffuses the blame for copyright infringement, instead of presenting a single large target that holds all of it.
1Password can do this for you, and I assume many other password managers as well.

We use the same technologies to deliver, say, remote CT review capability, that you would use to stream a videogame. It's just far more likely that the audience I'm communicating with, HN, is familiar with the requirements of videogame streaming, than it is that they are familiar with remote medical dataset viewing. Obviously the requirements or our use case are far more stringent, but no need to go into all that to illustrate the point made.

1 - Use virtual threads with reentrant locks if you need to do "true heavy" scaling.

2 - Kind of implied, but since you gave the opportunity to make it explicit with your comment =D, there is no need to waste your life on earning no money in videogames when the medical industry is right there willing to pay you 10x as much for the same skills. (Provided your skill is in the hard backend engine and physics work. They pay more for the ML too, if I'm being honest.)
I think what drew people to model trains was the ability to create and automate your tracks. It's an interesting and fun thing to do, basically designing a system and going trough all the small things needed to make it work. I can see how today this itch can be scratched by many different videogames (Factorio, just to give one example), while decades ago it was either model train or nothing much else.

I think younger generations are drawn to cheaper and easier to access forms of entertainment that provide similar intellectual experience. It's a shame for the hobby, but I find it a very reasonable thing to happen.

I loved these books as a kid back in the 80's. I'm sure they played a key role in shaping my interests and worldview. These, along with the "Encyclopedia Brown" books, the "The Three Investigators" series, the "Tom Swift Jr" series, and "The Great Brain", plus the original Doyle canon of Sherlock Holmes stories, were constant companions in my youth. Oh, and those "Choose Your Own Adventure" books. Those were great.

Every year the local Barnes & Noble does a Christmas book drive thing to provide books for under-privileged children in the area. I usually chip in at least a few titles, and if I could actually find any of those on the shelf (aside from Sherlock Holmes), I'd probably get some of them, so some young kids today could experience the same thrill.
No, there are also mid-size and large-scale family farms. Many of those are owned by corporations, but that corporation is owned by a single family so it counts as a family farm. "Small" is defined as gross income of $250,000 or less.
Strength is subjective, especially if your definition is “capability”. That ER doctor may be so desensitized that they are incapable of providing emotional support, and the one who ran may be a therapist who can provide the individual in the car crash emotional support. So in the end both are strong, simply in different ways.
Could it be to avoid content liability laws? Pirate bay used to run servers from balloons above a certain altitude for this reason.
I stopped buying Dells years ago. The problem I was having with them was quality control. I got burned on a couple Dell purchases and just stopped buying them. I bought a MSI Stealth in 2014 and still have it. I've never had a problem with it. Great aluminum body build and top notch components.
It's a bit different when overall population is dropping, which is predicted for all major developed countries by the second half of the 21st century. When population drops, demand drops for reasons entirely unrelated to how desirable your neighborhood is relative to other neighborhoods. Demand is dropping everywhere.

We only think that unusual because we've grown up in an era of perpetually-rising population. A lot of our economic rules of thumb don't hold once population growth reverses.

It is true that de-growth generates all sorts of other problems, though. One is labor: you may have houses, but they'll be shittily maintained, and you won't be able to find people to do the maintenance. Another is peace: when growth is happening, everyone has an incentive for peaceful trade so that they can capture the long-term profits of growth, but when growth reverses, the incentive reverses to conquering and pillaging as much of the pie now, before it shrinks, so you don't get left without a slice when it's gone.
There's potentially room for value to be destroyed while still enough is extracted to pay off the debts.

> In principle there's nothing that PE can't do that owner-operators can't also do.

As others have got at, in bankruptcy owners (of any sort) get paid last; debt gets paid first. Borrowing to pay the owners makes "wind down the company" more attractive by letting the relevant decision-makers cut in line. Outside of PE you see a similar dynamic with funding stock buybacks with debt.

That’s an apple to oranges comparison. HN is an online community where most of the value comes from content generated by users (votes, comments, submissions) and the moderation by folks like dang. NY times gets most of its value from the content that its employees create.

Correct -- the purpose of the watchdog is to account for buggy schedulers that fail to schedule runnable tasks. scx_rustland has special logic to track the user-space scheduling task, though. If it incorrectly failed to schedule it when it had no more runnable tasks to run, then the watchdog would eventually kick in, boot out scx_rustland, and revert back to EEVDF.
I’ll do when they will be bold enough to use μTorrent everywhere in the project and the branding material, until what they will get the same /y/ pronunciation we French speaker generally attach a lone -u- letter in a word.

It took me a while in life to realise that some people are just made to succeed. These people are typically good to great at anything they put their minds to.

Just because you say those questions are an extremely poor predictor of a candidate’s quality doesn’t actually make it so. It might just be one of the best and most cost effective ways of finding good candidates.
I thought BitTorrent's main strength (although that is one) is that it allows dynamic routing through lots of nodes, so you aren't pulling from a central cache, but from all sorts of clients. That was particularly useful in a world of asymmetric upload/download speeds; many people could upload to you at once, enabling your to saturate your downlink.

That wouldn't be the case on the moon I would have thought, as you won't have a huge network of intermediate nodes to draw on. You probably just have one or two links, which you can push content through en masse.

Tl;dr I don't see why what you're saying applies in this scenario.

If you are interviewing less than a dozen candidates a year then that probably means someone else in the organisation has already gone through a big pile of CVs to narrow it down to the 10-15 best candidates for you to interview. Having, briefly, sat at the start of that pipeline and seen 150+ reasonably relevant looking CVs (someone had already thrown out the very worst ones) roll in in a week for a fairly entry level programming position and having only a few hours spend to go from 150 to 10-15 candidates, you start making up some pretty arbitrary rules for throwing out CVs.

But in all seriousness—sometimes a lack of detail can be freeing while folks figure it out.
Once upon a time, I switched from commuting with a Macbook Air to commuting with a Mac mini (obviously I always had access to electricity at both ends of the commute) that weighs about the same, and the sudden quintupling of the thickness of the device I was transporting (on the bus and sometimes on foot) never bothered me.
This was me as a kid. Whenever we'd drive past the local hobby shop I'd beg my dad to make a stop so we could go look at the display (and play with the various buttons they had that lit up lights, switched tracks, etc).

I've long forgotten about model railroads and these days I live in small city apartments and move every few years, so even if I'd managed to retain the interest I have no practical way to build or store my own models, and generally prefer to spend money on experiences instead of things. I'm basically the problem millennial this whole thread is about.
Multilingual support sucks almost universally, and that is understandable when most of the innovation comes from countries with low rates of bilingualism, but it is becoming increasingly problematic as platforms like YouTube default to translating everything into a single language that takes several clicks to change. How hard would it be to implement a boolean option for "don't serve me translations by default"? Did they forget to add a column for the default language in their video database? It is particularly mind-boggling when some platforms offer a myriad of accessibility settings that cater to a very small percentage of the population, yet fail to account for people who speak more than one language. It is (or at least was at some point) possible to disable translations of YouTube video titles through a browser plugin or userscript, but the fact that no thought was put into making this toggleable in the first place is insane. Am I the only one who would rather have to translate a few things on my own than to see translations by default? I guess ultimately, it's user attention metrics that lead to such decisions. I imagine it will only get worse with LLMs.
