I suppose this is because in the UK there is still this whiff of upper class and culture if you can speak French. The new King Charles was the first monarch to give a speech in the French parliament (afaik), and he did it in French, for instance.

Spanish? Nah, we sunk the Armada and took Gibraltar, that's about it... and let's not forget the Argies.
Top Tier Car 0-60 Times vs Average Car Costs? IDK, it doesn't seem to contain any REAL information.

Actually, if you know the details of the development of consumer cars, you'll find that advances and levels of performance in top tier cars tends to trickle down into average cars. Not without some dilution, but that's a definite trend! So things like disc brakes, fuel injection, microprocessor control.

This sort of thing definitely happens with batteries over time. It's a way of peeking into the future. Just fudge factor for a little dilution.

I agree with Tim Sweeney, but I will note that It's awkward to do so because Epic charges to be in their App store too, so he's being a bit hypocritical. But I'd have the tech world know that logically speaking, appeals to hypocrisy only speaks to the men's character. They do nothing to refute the argument the hypocrite is making. It's not as simple as So and so is a hypocrite and therefore their argument is invalid.

If that were the case then every time someone who smokes told you it's a filthy habit don't copy me, you would take up smoking concluding there was vitamin C in it, and it must be good for you.

I was biking around Hilversum in the Netherlands today and saw two drivers looking at their phone while driving.
If Apple feels the price should be higher to justify the costs, they should raise the price.

If Apple is saying that they are selling a phone but do not give their customers full freedom to do whatever they want with the device, it is not sale, but lending, and Apple should come clean about it.
I read it’s in the ballpark of the AirPods Max maybe a bit heavier. It’s first gen. I imagine it getting better with time.
A quick check shows the 21 billion gallon number you're (not) citing is likely bullshit.

https://www.verifythis.com/article/news/verify/environment-v...

> David Checkel, a professor at the University of Alberta and an electric car expert, did some back-of-the-napkin math to dispute the claim. Checkel calculated that if each gallon of fuel costs $3, then 21 billion gallons would cost $63 billion annually. If $63 billion was the price tag for 250,000 batteries, then the cost of raw materials for each battery would be more than $250,000.
Yes which is even more absurd. You get billed for saving apple money!
A large growth for batteries is going to come from sodium ion batteries not lithium so there will be no problem for the growth rate.
Without taking Apple's side here and I want to assume good faith on your reply to me but...

It is obvious how sideloading could directly lead to an increase in malware.

It is obvious that the iOS/Android appstores help keep down malware.

I am sure there are arguments that can be made to support your view. But these are not those.
The choice is in the technology you use when you build an application for a user. You don't get a choice what platform you build your apps for, you already have your customers, and they already have their phones. If you're a business for which the technology provided by Apple is not a key part of the product, then you're being forced to pay for technology you're trying your hardest not to use but are obligated to by policy.

If I build a Flutter app for checking bus times, what am I paying Apple for? I'm already deliberately avoiding their badly documented frameworks. Apple don't own the buses, they don't own the internet, they should not be claiming ownership of the users phones.
So why is it not applied on MacOS?
You're misreading what I said (might be my fault for not being clear enough!). I mean that the occupier would have to genocide all of the occupied to have peace. Essentially there will be permanent resistance unless the occupied are given full rights or completely oppressed. Clearly the former is desirable and the latter very undesirable.

I'm strongly biased against the "neckbeard" stance of keyboard superiority. GUIs evolved for a reason. Keyboard-only controls require a lot of memorisation, are less intuitively learned (besides a slim portion of OS specific traditions), muscle memory becomes tied to the hardware more strongly (layout and feel). Mouse allows to quickly point in a complex UI where elements visually describe themselves. Thumbsticks and touchpads are clunky, fingers just don't have the same precision. The downside being the constant arm movement away from keyboard.
This is because French is/was the defacto choice for foreign language option in secondary schools throughout the UK, at least up until the 2000s. French was after all the language of diplomacy and quite a bit more useful in European business last century than Spanish was.

Spanish is now catching up and will likely over take in the next couple of years. Latest number of GCSE exam entrants were about 125K for French, 115K for Spanish and 35K for German.
I vaguely recall Nginx being taken over (maybe just founders arrested?) by Russian officials at some point? Is Nginx open source enough where the community would notice any shenanigans Russia might do to compromise the integrity of Nginx? No important parts are black box binaries or anything?
Thanks for the correction! It's hard to track all of this :)
I was wondering the same thing last year.

I ended up in twitter/reddit rabbit holes until I found a somewhat dodgy guy on twitter (@TerribleQuant - account is now deleted).

The person compiled a guide with study resources, courses, YT videos, podcasts, textbooks and everything else you can think of in 21 pages.

WTF happened in the early 70's? IMO by far the biggest thing was the Arab oil embargo, which ended a 10,000 year trend where the price of energy got steadily cheaper.
No one noticing it is down because it usually isn't working anyways.
My comment was sarcasm (which I thought was obvious, but I'll just have to finally accept that sarcasm on HN is never obvious enough).
vache is gendered boeuf :D

We'd say "vache" when it comes to milk or the female, but all "vache" are "boeuf".

Boeuf is used when the gender does not mean much (like for meat).
If you're familiar with the ESP32, the ESP8266 is similar, but less capable and less expensive. As far as I know, the ESP8266 was designed and sold as a wifi add-on chip for a separate microcontroller, but then an SDK came out and some applications don't actually need a separate microcontroller.

Depends on your project if it will work, but I use them around the house to report on temperature and humidity, and I've got one setup on an arcade video converter that I was hoping I could get better output from (but it didn't really work).

Not sure if it is related, but in the same time period, Microsoft Family Safety has been flaky. My son will request more Xbox / PC time, I’ll get the notification, but inside the app there is no request to approve. Or I’ll get another notification hours later.

When I was still using an Apple computer, many years ago, the one-button mouse was what I hated the most.

I even despised the two-button Microsoft mouse.

Both were much worse than a three-button mouse, when the buttons were used cleverly by the user interface. The replacement of the third button with the scroll wheel has started for me the process of finding alternatives for a mouse and eventually abandoning its use.

Most people have never seen a user interface that uses properly all the three buttons of a mouse, so they have no idea how much better that can be than having an uncomfortable scroll wheel in the place of such a button.

Such a good user interface was used for instance around 2000, when you could still find Logitech three-button mice, in the Mentor programs for drawing circuit schematics and PCB layouts.

The third button was used for making mouse gestures, i.e. tracing some pattern on the pad. Each mouse gesture was pretty much equivalent with pressing a keyboard shortcut, but being able to use them with the mouse enabled the user to make most drawings without ever moving the hand from the mouse to the keyboard, which sped up the work a lot.

Scrolling was done in a much better way than with a scroll wheel, by just moving the mouse cursor close to the window side corresponding with the desired scroll direction.

There's a lot of small-scale solar in rural areas. Pretty much every new barn I see going up has solar panels on the roof. It has to cost less than having the electric company run a new line and meter. Especially so if you only need lighting out there and don't have to run machinery.
I think it was because it was a widespread problem or did not appear that way. Teams for our company were mostly working.
I don’t love Trump, but there’s no denying there was far less war, and especially US-funded war, when he was in office. Ukraine-Russia massively escalated as soon as someone in the pocket of the military industrial complex got put in power, as Putin knew it would, and Israel followed suit soon after.
I didnt need to use bazel, I like bazel and want to learn more about it.

I also have a small, but burning, passion for reproducible builds, distributed compilation and distributed caching.

Being able to build an entire OS and essentially anything I want on top in a reproducible and relatively organic way (with incremental compilation) is pretty dope.
And having less humans is also way greener!
I think the argument for these two apps would be that it's essentially identical to using the nav system and audio system of your car.

If your phone is mounted and easy to reach, that's perhaps true. If you're holding it in your hand and looking down, it's less comparable.
Foley Room is my #1. I don't mind some of his more recent stuff, even the bass-ey Two Fingers stuff, but I do prefer the early stuff too. Though it's not as much up my alley I'm kind of intrigued by the album he put out under the Figueroa name, which is kind of psychedelic-folk or something. Take a quick listen before reading the next part (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWiXC_O_EVo). Here's the crazy part: Other than his voice, _every_ sound you hear in that song is synthesized and programmed with midi, including the "acoustic" guitar. He said in an interview if you were starting from scratch it would have been easier to learn to play the guitar, but I guess if you've spent your life devoted to mastering electronic production...
Israel has quite a lot of domestic defense industry.
Hamas can't go toe-to-toe with the IDF. They are hiding in tunnels and among civilians, so these ratios aren't surprising.

To some extent, you can't blame Hamas for these tactics. They would quickly lose a conventional war. At the same time, if you have zero chance of winning a military victory, perhaps you shouldn't use violence to pursue your political goals...
I don't see how it's obvious no, I don't believe the appstore could do anything to counter malware and so far I don't see anything leading me to think that's the case.

Hiding malware from an appstore reviewer is trivial if you really want to.
I think it depends on the platform. On iOS I'm not sure if it's even possible to get to the messages without a jailbreak.
This is a question you need to ask Jewish people, not HN. The response you'll get here obviously won't answer this question, because the people responding are either not Jewish, or the format doesn't lend itself to a genuine answer.

But, a mistake you make in asking the question is two-fold, one - the Holocaust was not a lesson taught to Jews so they'll learn empathy. It was something horrible and traumatic that was done to them. Two - comparing the Holocaust to what happens in Gaza means you're not aware of what the Holocaust was. Maybe you know highlights such as gas chambers etc, but not what it really was (through no fault of your own I'm sure).

But, to attempt some semblance of an answer. In the same way you wouldn't ask Haitians why their gov did terrible things to the DR and their population - didn't they learn from slavery? Or about India/Pakistan, didn't they learn from the raj? Or any of the African states in conflict - didn't they learn from colonialism? Or Turkey and Syria, Iraq/Iran etc. Then why ask this from Israelis? I hope you get my rhetorical point.
Another interesting possibility is to use GPS for a clock. [1] Apparently 1 microsecond accuracy. Maybe useful if you want to make the distance really far.

There are 750 million Europeans , and maybe 4.5 billion Asians (6 times more in Asia than Europe).

But the wait and difficulty is much more than 6 times if you’re Asian versus if you’re European.

The ICJ seems to disagree with you.
JAR and APK files are really ZIP, as is EPUB.

True, ZIPs are hard to grep. However, gzip and progeny come bundled with convenience scripts as zgrep, bzgrep, xzgrep, etc.

Maybe use a grep-friendly format if that's important to you, or otherwise a filesystem with transparent compression (btrfs, ZFS, or [gasp] NTFS).
Why are there multiple "Gemini Pro" on the board? Is this based on popular vote?
Well, you responded with a question and then deleted it.

What I mean is that I consider an application, when you use it as a singular word like this, to be one integrated thing. Like Excel (as typically used), Safari, Chrome, etc. Perhaps with the option of extensions, but still a singular integrated application. And, in particular, not a thing that's directly integratable into other applications and parts of the system (or at least not trivially).

Is that what's needed for an offline programming teaching environment? You could look at something like DrRacket. It provides an IDE as an application, but also a lot of command line tooling. This allows students to "graduate" from the, possibly restricted, environment you provide to a fuller environment on their computer. An advanced student could switch, sticking to Racket as the example, from using the supplied IDE directly to using a combination of the CLI programs and emacs (my preferred way of using Racket when I use it). They still get all the benefits of the learning tools, but can move past them once they're ready.

So I guess I'm just saying, it doesn't need to be a singular, dedicated, sandboxed application. Instead it could really be a suite of programs + an interface (or piggyback on an existing interface like VS Code by providing an extension). This can give a more graceful path out of your educational program than a too-tightly restricted/limited application. A big issue I had with a lot of the restricted learning-targeted applications that were used in my high school and a couple (fortunately only a couple) college classes was that inability to use the same language or whatever outside the sandbox. This had a significant impact on a number of my peers who had difficulty moving on from the restricted environment, they didn't have the right mental model for how to program or use the computer to program without the sandbox.
Hamas barely scraped into victory in a power sharing agreement it then broke. Gazan at that time did not want this government. Half of Gaza's present population wasn't even born at the time of the last election. To blame Palestinians generally (including in the West Bank who are effectively being punished too) for this is exceedingly unfair.

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/10/was-hamas-electe...

Compare culpability with Israel's, which IS a functioning democracy, has had regular elections, a free press, a large population participating in the war and actively in favour of it - and blaming the average Gazan is even less fair.

Feeling like revenge isn't good enough.
You would think so, but not really, because you still have to pay for the hardware but then you're only using it a small fraction of the time.

Where it works well is in the opposite direction: You buy the hardware and use it 90%+ of the time but shut it down during a supply shortfall. Then you're making good use of the hardware and helping to amortize the cost of additional generation capacity but save the grid from running out of power in an emergency.
What's the ICJ's actual ability to enforce this? "Orders" sounds like they have some sort of weight to throw around if Israel doesn't comply, but I'm not familiar with the ICJ or what possible consequences could arise if Israel simply decided it was going to do what it wanted.
Yup this one is it, right here.

It's absolutely about discovery costs. Document review is typically like a quarter of all litigation cost, and that's assuming the problem of "get all the docs" is solved already.
The overwhelming majority of people on Earth disagrees with what the government of Israel is doing.
This quote below is gold (no pun intended).

>"Let’s knock this one out of the way now: despite what people at the mises institute would have you think, not a lot of couples divorce because of bitter arguments on the convertibility of the dollar to gold."

I share a lot of libertarian views, but can't go all in as it's followers have such a black & white view on things that are inherently grey. I agree that the government is inefficient at best and corrupt/murderous at worst (i.e. innocents given the death penalty), but getting rid of everything (e.g. EPA, FDA, USDA...etc) isn't the best thing either as firms will pollute and take health shortcuts as much as possible absent any laws which prevent it. Mainstream economics points out that monopolies are bad because there is no competition, so you either break them up or regulate them. Libertarians frequently adhere to Austrian economics and you have folks like Milei saying a market failure cannot occur and there is nothing wrong with monopolies. There are valid concerns regarding ineffective regulators and those captured by industry too.

Unfortunately, neither a full market based anarchy (i.e. government is there to basically only protect your property rights) or extreme regulations (immeasurable beauracracy)are the way to go IMO. What you want is something in between the two extremes. The question becomes where to draw the line (if this is familiar...it's the same argument as the Laffer curve for taxes). Progressives think it needs to shift one way and Conservatives the opposite. The true answer IMO is that some things need a lot more regulation and some things a lot less. A balanced view doesn't make for good sound bites though.
>people want to live in cities

no, a ton of jobs outside the cities got outsourced or automated, leaving people with no choice. The number of people who left cities when remote work gave them the chance should make that obvious
It's always interesting to hear others experiences. I've used Teams for 4+ years now with zero issues until this morning. I'm only mad in that I tried troubleshooting my PC and network connection for far too long before seeing this thread.
I remember a single-panel comic from one of the Mac rags at the time -- MacWorld? MacUser? wasn't there an IT-oriented tabloid-format Mac mag? -- anyway, kind of reminiscent of a New Yorker cartoon, an adult with his arm moderately flexed and a child looking on in awe, perhaps grasping his bicep, with the caption, "That's the arm daddy uses to carry his Mac Portable"
My claim is exactly that there is no objective truth. This truth is established under given constraints that can all change: the idea that only Apple can be trusted, for example, is false. The idea that people cannot learn how to detect crap is false, on top of being dystopian. The idea that Apple has to be this big and not be smaller, let competitors bloom, is false.

Most importantly, the idea that the App Store in its current form is exempt of malware and the best possible security is completely ludicrous.
The human mind isn't rational. Don't expect just because they very well know what genocide is, that they can't convince themselves they aren't committing genocide.
Now imagine a Chinese company behaving according to Chinese laws in USA. TikTok came little too close to this setup and US politicians were almost ready to ban it.
If you look at Apple’s financial reports, it is. AppStore is a massive revenue stream for Apple. They’d rather have macOS locked down as iOS, than the other way around—iOS as open as macOS. They could not do that because locking macs down would severely cripple the platform and peopple would have a concrete example of how it became terrible. That attention would also shine a light on how terrible this aspect of iOS is.

Notice how they’re telling how terrible everthing will become now on iOS in EU. Yet, the next macOS will be "the safest yet”. This is also why they don’t even acknowledge Mac’s existence in these posts.
Some places in the US use third-parties to enforce traffic laws. I was once in a park and I got a ticket for not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign by a third-party company employed by the park.

I looked into the legality of receiving a ticket from someone who is not a cop and I was under no legal obligation to pay it. However, they can ruin your credit if you refuse to pay, so I just went ahead and paid it. I did not seek legal advice and maybe I should have, but the fee was less than a lawyer would have cost.
