I think the content is largely AI generated with some human editing. It starts off feeling pretty human but then descends into robotitude from my POV. It could be entirely AI generated in which case the injection of references is pretty impressive.

The ending lets the whole thing down tho:

"In summary, embracing both SEO and content optimization within the entity SEO framework is strategically beneficial. It equips marketers for the complex and evolving demands of digital marketing."

That para slightly hurts my brain more the longer I look at it.

A major "tell" for me is when you find language which would be "ok" in a student's essay response creeping into what are meant to be tutorials or explanations - where that kind of language really sticks out as being waffle / useless words.
I did some digging using TCPView and found

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WS-Discovery Web Services Dynamic Discovery (WS-Discovery

Inside windows this listens on UDP 3702 and is hosted by dasHost.exe / Device Association Services.

Here are microsoft's Developer docs for the WSDAPI https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/win32/blob/docs/desktop-src...

I didn't see any linux or android implementation but it could be out there with some more digging.
The problem there was that, unless you were already clearly seriously ill, your blood oxygen did not drop. It was not diagnostic.
I live in a suburb that is very walkable. It has single family homes, can walk everywhere, and am close to transit. I have been having trouble driving but I can walk or bike for most of my needs.

This is pre-war streetcar suburbs. The difference is that the houses are close together. The garages are mostly in back and tiny. The streets are in a grid, nearly all have sidewalks, and many are narrow which lowers speeds. The main streets have shops and restaurants along them.
Yep. Google did it with their search and now it’s just what makes the world turn. And they have to be disingenuous about it or else people wouldn’t use it. I think it’s pretty plain and simple - realise this is the case, then vote with your feet

I’ve stopped trying to save by online ordering, within reason. If a store has what I need + points me in the right direction and demonstrates they are knowledgeable, they will get my business. 5-10 dollars is not worth saving at the expense of fuelling the enshittification machine. If that makes a huge difference to you, then reevaluate if you actually need the item

You’ll end up with less stuff, better stuff, with less hassle and noise, and a relationship to a vendor which may speed up returns and maintenance. As always, pick your poison
Well I found that my apartment NFC key is hardened against dictionary attacks and I'm not able to copy it. It also helped me learn that my parents' garage door is pretty secure. I'm able to have the opener learn my flipper like any other remote, but not crack it. This is even with the unleashed firmware that doesn't mind violating FCC regulations (some of the frequencies it hops to are restricted).

I was able to copy my work NFC badge, but I'm not really interested in trying it out.

It's handy as a pocket spectrum sniffer, but I don't have much day-to-day use for it outside of that. I'm glad it was given to me because I learned a lot. Potential future use for me might be an amiibo emulator, but I've grown out of those sorts of things.
Unless the C-levels complain, then the algorithm will be changed to make them happy.
Tools can be used for good and bad. This isn’t anything new and doesn’t “ruin” a device.
So if I go grocery shopping, I may purchase a few prepped meals which I eat in one sitting. Then I have a couple sticks of butter. I use one over the next six months, and the next one is stored for after that runs out. I've got some shelf-stable snacks that I use intermittently over the next 2 years. Stuff in my freezer for a couple of weeks.

Overall, my groceries are never consumed at the same rate, so how can this possibly track daily nutrition?
Probably a familiarity with how brick and mortar business work and what it was like when software came in a box.

30% or 15% for one stop global distribution and multi-jurisdictional tax collecting is a deal all day long.

Could Spotify have bootstrapped itself without the App Store?
Uh... What time do shuttles leave? At a lot of companies that is when people leave to catch their shuttle, where they may continue working.
Sounds neat, but I still think complexity is removed if the deployment is not directly linked to the code repository. For me the code repositories purpose is to build software, and operation is not it's responsibility.

I prefer having a gitops repository that describes the environment. Completely decoupled from the source code repository. If some automation directly from the source repository is required, a CI job can automatically update the gitops repository and trigger a deployment.

Separation of concerns.
My experience with Bella+Canvas was that the ratio between the sleeves/shoulders and torso felt really disproportionate in a way that I haven't felt with most other shirts, so they don't really work for me. The material itself did feel nice though.
The regulators are asleep at the wheel. Thats why Apple feels like they can get away with all of this.
It walks the entire native stack and marks every pointer it finds! Handles pointers in registers by spilling them on the stack and just letting the stack scanner find them like all the others. It guesses pointers but in a way that makes false negatives impossible.

I assume everything must be properly aligned to work. Interestingly, it uses jmpbuf to spill the registers. There's also a compiler builtin to get the current stack frame which can be used to obtain the stack root if called at the beginning of the program. Really neat, and educational.
The best diet is one which you can do long term and achieves your goals.
When I lived in Santa Cruz back in the early 2000s I lived in a duplex, and my duplex neighbour and I would cook and give away well over three 30lb bags of baked potatoes each Halloween. Bake the potatoes early in the day, cut them open, put in the butter, salt and pepper, then close them up and wrap in tin foil. Kids and teenagers would go out of their way to get a potato from us.
I think Apple should’ve won the lawsuit. Epic broke TOS they agreed to, got punished, and whined a bunch to the court. They deserved to lose as they largely did. They’re also not innocent. They don’t want to get rid of all of this, they want the middleman cashing in to be THEMSELVES, not Apple. They’re no underdog hero.

Apple is doing something incredibly stupid and absolutely killing their relationship with developers. Right when they need it most. They should fix that, but won’t. Wall Street would crucify them for daring to lose revenue. And regulators should probably limit how much they can charge.

But this lawsuit was not the way for that to happen. Don’t root for a bad lawsuit just ‘cause you hate the plaintiff. Fix it the right way.
Sounds like you can't agree on what you're doing and what your goals are.
On the other hand, drivers sometimes take absurd risks to save what amounts to a few seconds at most. You better believe people will complain if that wait is imposed on them after they get to the button first.
Readability is one of Ruby's strengths. Most custom DSLs I've encountered are easy to understand. Arguably meta programing makes it harder but the language allows you to strike the balance that suits you.
Hmm... about 15 seconds per floor (judging from Wikipedia video), times 118 floors = half hour to get to the top! I guess still faster than taking the stairs...
Can't tell if it's open source or not. My experience with closed source text formatters (Frame, Word of course, something else that doesn't come to mind) is that either (A) the proprietary company changes format rendering all your valuable documents unusable or (B) licensing fees go up, you decide not to pay those pirates the ransom and all your valuable documents are rendered unusable.

Open source code for text formatters. It's the only option for long-lived documents.
I'm not advocating in either direction, but I'm curious what elements of iOS's UX you prefer over Android's?
There's also sites like https://www.blankapparel.com/ that will sell you individual blanks from quite a variety of brands (including Bella+Canvas).
Red Hat Developer Hub
Had a very similar experience hosting e-sports events and buying probably the cheapest sponsor slot ever: the badge lanyards, every single interview had our logo right there around the neck of every single person at the venue, while the TV crews were trying to frame the giant master sponsor logos in the background
Trunk based development fits well with well defined sprints and continuous integration but I'm not sure that not committing into a release branch is the best strategy when the releases are kept small and the development continues with full force after the release is formed. In my experience it makes sense to fix found bugs in the release branch and then merge them back - expectation is that these fixes are really minor as the release is not created before mainline development has been validated and is ready for the release. No new features should be added into the release branch, only bug fixes. In such case merging back small release branch changes has not proven to be any pain at all.
It was written by someone who just can't seem to stop spamming HN with their MFHN content. Why don't you take a hint?
It's 15% for any developer making under $1 million. Even if we think the SDKs should be free, you're not going to find a significantly better deal for payment (with Apple handling all sales taxes etc), auto updates, crash reporting, etc etc.

Smaller developers aren't being ripped off, not anymore. There's a philosophical argument that Apple shouldn't control your device, but that really has nothing to do with the 30% they charge larger companies.
I never thought about that. Good point.
When I did a contract to deliver a Jenkins CI/CD server for Apple Retail Engineering, their entire internal cloud was basically just VMware running on the last full batch of Apple rack-mount XServe machines.

So, not exactly something that I would consider competitive against the likes of Azure or AWS. In fact, AWS now sells services where you can bring your VMware internal clouds over to be officially supported by VMware on AWS.
Did brick and mortar stores have a monopoly on software distribution?
Interesting. It's almost impossible to find how real elevators are scheduled, mostly due to information camouflage. Googling for "elevator scheduling" gets you a ton of pages for disk write scheduling algorithms.
It's helpful to all us readers to note the article is 2 years old.
My hope is that if third party stores and sideloading come to iOS, Apple greatly incentivizes devs somehow to leverage a new unified subscription control panel API to help keep subs all in one list even if you don’t subscribe through the app store.
How does this look like when you have multiple active versions of an application? In some cases there are apps deployed in different environments (or to different clients) in different versions and having a single place to make all commits is not feasible.

How do things that have LTS versions in parallel with "regular" versions organize?
Thank you for the info, I will research more about this.
This is pretty standard Ruby stuff. It’s different for sure. But works really nicely in practice.
Self-driving as a case study for AGI
Thanks. Interesting.

For what it is worth, it is entirely AI generated.

I like that you've highlighted the summary as a weak point. It is what I am focusing at the moment.
Thank you for the info and the appropriate term. I will research more about this!

Time for some wikipedia deep dives!
There's a reason it is mostly the affluent that seek life extension, it's the one thing they can't buy just yet. And if and when they can I'm sure they will hope for it to be extremely expensive.
$169 implies a BOM cost of about $60.

That seems ... about right actually?
All garage doors have rolling keys which are non trivial to deal with unless you have pro stuff.
I'm not sure if any branching strategy helps supporting multiple software versions simultaneously. There is a reason why "rolling releases" are the default now.

For a short while it may work to just merge bugfixes to older versions. But after a while the changes to older versions need to be done independently. Implementing a fix for three versions will just take three times longer than for one version very soon.
This site looks like it was written by developers moonlighting as economists.
Thank you for the reply! Other repliers answered that I should look up "Otoliths", which is the bony structure in the ear canal of some fish that can be used to count these rings.

Awesome info, everyone
Ruby uses symbols (strings prefixed with a semicolon) very liberally. It’s just a value literal. Ive never met anyone who writes Ruby that has an issue with the readability of it.
The M5Stack Cardputer seems like it would scratch the same itch as the Flipper Zero.
IIUC the reaction is

Li_7 + n -> Li_8 -> Be_8 + e -> 2 He_4 + e

it makes sense if you have a external neutron source, but I can't imagine how they can chain the reaction because it release electrons instead of neutrons.

Also, I don't understand all the recicling Lithium angle. If this go up comertially, woudn't it be cheaper to buy Lithium from a common source instead of recicling batteries? (If recicling were cheapier, batteries factories would have been using that source.)
Are Frameworks That Bad

Ah makes sense - someone in a business unit was having a weird failure updating something last week and I couldn't see any failures in the application logs. I looked on their computer and could say that Akamai was blocking the request, and after some trial and error I found that it was because a text field contained (* - which it thought looked like SQL.
Did you even read the article? The point was that it's a false dichotomy to say one side believed the science and the other side didn't. Just because someone questions a specific measure, doesn't mean they don't read the science that supports (or doesn't support) the measure. It means we need a more balanced approach that weighs the costs versus the benefits. That's a bigger-picture science than whether a measure does or doesn't reduce the spread.
Neither is employment. But there are still consequences for firing someone for an unlawful reason. I'm not saying Red Hat is wrong—I'm still undecided—but I don't think your logic is very persuasive.
there are people that read without voting.

you could be getting attention of all kinds and not even know it.
They’re sort of trapped between a rock and a hard place.

I don’t think what they’re doing is right, don’t take this as defense.

On the one hand “services revenue” (their cut from casino/exploitive games) is basically the only thing growing. people who want iPhones have them. People who want iPads have them. The Vision Pro is never going to sell 1 billion units. Wall Street demand growth so they “have to“ keep finding ways to juice services revenue a bunch. Or the stock will get hammered.

On the other hand, doing this is absolutely alienating every developer. And that will hurt the brand and their growth and their revenue too. You think there are as many developers who want to develop for the Vision Pro as there would have been if Apple was still as popular with devs as they were 10 years ago?

But of course even if developers weren’t getting really mad they’ve gone so far as to get governments to start taking a deep look at them. And you know that’s not gonna go well.

Juicing revenue makes developers and the governments more bad. Actions by the government or to be better for developers will make Wall Street mad.

They mismanaged it and now they’re screwed. They could’ve been slowly cutting down and opening up this whole time. In small controlled ways they were willing to give up. In ways to let them keep the revenue growth but just slow it down a little.

Instead they’ve got lawsuits. And governments forcing their hand.l to do things they hate and (in some cases) may be bad. And they’re being petulant about it all and going to get in even more trouble for defying courts/legislatures. All while hurting the brand.

Good job Apple.
by purchasing the new iphone, and calling on apple to not allow third party stores, because they know they cannot say no to installing facebook, and IF thirdparty stores or sideloading were to be allowed, facebook might just get worse!

(all this seen in comments in other threads on hn)
This article is trying too hard to be intellectual and incorporate artsy prose. A lot of it is just nonsensical or self-contradictory.

Basically the author is self-aware that others’ preferences and economic conditions have led to a built environment that’s incompatible with their tastes, and that they don’t actually have the right to dictate what others choose to build and buy. So they decide to snobbily denigrate them because… (makes them feel better? some kind of psychological need to establish superiority?)

Tastes change. There has been a pretty continual oscillation within architecture between more minimalist and austere styling and ornately decorated styling. Feels pretty pointless to get caught up in argument that boils down to red being a better color than blue
Since when did we as an industry start championing rentseeking that adds no value?

Yes, the App Store is valuable. No, generic payment processing rails aren’t. Even the 1-3% charged by CC companies is bullshit. Apple, of course, charges 10x this.

The only reason they get away with it is because they have leveraged cryptography to stifle competition. If other app stores were possible on iOS, Facebook and Epic and Netflix would collaborate to create one in a heartbeat and billions of people would stop having to pay higher prices to inflate Apple’s stock value.
How I've done it: Just tag the commit that is used to build a release. If you need to add a fix to an older release, create a branch from the tag. Do the changes trunk based on this branch, then tag and release. If needed just repeat it.

I'm convinced that complex branching strategies never magically solve any issues. They just confuse many people until every successful release feels like dark magic.
But what is the downside? (I mean, other than weight gain.) You just get more energy for free? Why doesn't the body use less energy by default?
Unfortunately the most vulnerable will be easily manipulated into bypassing whatever prompts are needed. The threat vector is facebook telling users to install Instagram/FB from their own app store instead of from the App Store, both eroding their privacy (since they won't be mandated to respect the "do not track" popup) as well as training them how to install apps from third-party sources and that "it's OK to sideload because Facebook and Instagram require it".
But you were already allowed to do that, if we suppose that model weights are not copyrightable.
I get where this sentiment is coming from, I wouldn’t put “normal people” at the start of it. Families are very complex and many normal people do not have normal relationships with any number of those people in their family, and the value proposition of these relationships are understandably low.
Having grown up in Norway, our school system was (still is?) much more focused on lifting all boats, and making most pupils pretty decent and well-rounded at most subjects, rather than focusing resources on the most apt ones. But that's just how things are in general - our culture has always been focused on what's best for the masses.

That said, I can't remember our math AP classes being any difficult. Whenever I read about HS students in other countries taking proof-heavy classes, I have zero recollection of that.

We had a couple of Russian kids, and one Polish, in our HS class. At least the Russian kids told us that the math classes were much harder back in Russia, but that's about it.

EDIT: To expand - we have two AP math classes in HS, and two AP physics classes. To qualify for STEM studies at Uni., you usually need two math AP + one physics AP.

You get some extra "competition points" if you take more AP classes, some points for age, some for military service, etc.

But that's about it. No entrance exams, no standardized tests, etc. The whole country gets the same exams, and for first-time applicants it comes down to your GPA + points from AP classes. For people after that, it's the same but all the different age points, military points, etc.
Please code in plain and simple C instead: get your own simple object model if you need it, and use the C preprocessor for namespace/name mangling (projects can grow to very large with this). Yes it is a bit more work because this is not anymore ULTRAMEGA technically expensive sugar builtin in the compiler.

My 2c.

And for the elf/linux build, don't forget the compiling and linking options "-static-libgcc", "-static-libstdc++"(if you have some c++ somewhere),"-ftls-model=global-dynamic" and use a very old glibc for linking (or use the binutils gas .symver directive, see binutils ld doc) in order to select version names for an ABI at least 7-8 years in the past (2017-2019 for the first elf/linux AAA games). It means you MUST not use the default glibc of a very recent elf/linux distro for linking (unless you go for the binutils gas .symver directive, see binutils ld manual).
I've mainly use Flipper Zero to duplicate my digital apartment keys (iButton then later RFID fobs). It's so easy to duplicate a physical apartment key, but making backups of the digital equivalents is annoyingly tedious. Plus, apartment managers treat them as scarce commodities and refuse to give backups.

With Flipper Zero I now have backup keys in my backpack, on my dog's leash, in my running belt, and with close friends. It's great.
Besides easy to open garage doors with a metal shim to pop the emergency latch. Happened to me once before just zip tying the latch.
> Business leaders rightly worry that this divide could hurt morale among front-line staff, undermine perceived fairness, and create new rifts in the workforce.

This from the article. My point is that this is absolute bullshit. Front-line staff already have massive inequality of working standards, and have done for decades.

The need for people to go back to the office is not driven by some sudden compassionate drive to equalise workplace differences. It's driven by an entire class of asset for the very wealthy becoming almost worthless.
The votes are not there for your benefit - they're there to make good/useful/valuable comments rise to the top, and bad/low-value/spam ones fall to the bottom.

You can likely use your phone. There’s some apps designed for it specifically.
Google phones all run on top of Linux kernel. Google doesn't make a kernel.

Well, technically they make Fuchsia, but that kernel only ever shipped on a sum total of 3 smart display devices.
The rule has been that physical purchases don't need to use IAPs, since the service you're purchasing is not solely enabled by Apple's investment into the entire hardware/software/APIs stack that allows your users to buy gems in your game.
On Christmas day after dinner we were sitting around chit chatting and the subject of Taylor Swift came up. I mentioned I thought it was odd I didn't know any of her songs. I could name songs by Lana del Ray, Adele, Amy Winehouse and Billie Eilish, but drew a blank on Taylor Swift. A gay friend of the family seemed offended, but he looked on his phone and realized he couldn't name any either. No one in my large family could name a TS song.

About a week later I started seeing reports that Taylor Swift was a psyop, which I thought was hilarious given that earlier conversation, but don't believe for a minute.
