> If your second sentence was accurate, Apple wouldn’t be leading the industry on app security as they have been.

If Apple was actually leading the industry on App Security then they wouldn't be using the App Store as a security defense. They know that people are afraid of Pegasus-style malware and they want people to think it comes only from third-parties. In reality, Apple devices are already attacked from a variety of endpoints, many of which are first-party. Some of them are zero-click. Blaming malware and scamming on sideloading is an obvious stretch; both of those things exist on iPhone even without the DMA.

> The mistake is seeing these as incompatible rather than complementary goals

I do see them as complimentary; that's why I'm outraged that only one half of the goal is considered. Apple actively neglects security on their device to reinforce the validity of a centralized App Store. That is an objectively deteriorated experience for users, and when stuff like the Digital Market Act comes around it's a blatant ploy to buy Apple time.

I'm not denying the merits of your discussion, I'm proving that other platforms (including Apple-made ones) already get this right, so regulators have no reason to go let Apple off easy here. The status-quo can be better, and I guarantee you that this policy will be revised within the year. There is simply no excuse.
I do not disagree with you... but calling the issue "white supremacy" is misleading. The examples you mention are bias, bigotry, and racism applied to each culture.

Chinese, Japanese, or Hispanic, or Middle Easterners would never consider themselves "white". It is a term, where people want to lump U.S. whites together in the U.S. wholly as bad, and suggest they're evil in the U.S. and now globally.

People in the U.S. just happen to be historically white, just like Chinese just happen to be historically of Chinese descent, etc.

Read the terms: it’s not for commercial development
I haven't really encountered most of the problems you mentioned, but I agree it can certainly be inefficient in terms of runtime. That said, I think if you're already using HDFS for data storage, being able to easily bolt on Spark does make for nice ease of use.
People usually put a seizure warning for flickering stimuli, for a reason.
There are two reasons creating software will never (in my lifetime) be considered an engineering discipline:

1) There are (practically) no consequences for bad software.
2) The rate of change is too high to introduce true software development standards.

Modern engineering best practice is "follow the standards". The standards were developed in blood -- people were either injured or killed, so the standard was developed to make sure it didn't happen again. In today's society, no software defects (except maybe aircraft and medical devices) are considered severe enough for anyone to call for the creation and enforcement of standards. Even Teslas full-self-driving themselves into parked fire trucks and killing the occupants doesn't seem enough.

Engineers that design buildings and bridges also have an advantage not available to computers: physics doesn't change, at least not at scales and rates that matter. When you have a stable foundation it is far easier to develop engineering standards on that foundation. Programmers have no such luxury. Computers have only been around for less than 100 years, and the rate of change is so high in terms of architecture and capabilities that we are constantly having to learn "new physics" every few years.

Even when we do standardize (e.g. x86 ISA) there is always something bubbling in research labs or locked behind NDAs that is ready to overthrow that standard and force a generation of programmers into obsolescence so quickly there is no opportunity to realistically convey a "software engineering culture" from one generation to the next.

I look forward to the day when the churn slows down enough that a true engineering culture can develop.
For me it will not be tired until we’re not addicted to social media anymore
So that's the thing, in the US "right leaning" and "actually votes Republican and actively supports the Republican Party" are night and day differences. Because moderate conservatives (or libertarian-conservatives) who don't care for Republican's weird crusades against abortion, trans people, blue lives matter, anti-vaxx bullshit, climate change denial and whatever the next not-actually-realted-to-conservatism thing is and just want regular-ass conservative politics a la Romney, McCain, DeWine are totally alienated.

Among my friends and coworkers those right leaning people have just started calling themselves liberal but not progressive and voting Democrat because that's now actually closer to their views than Republicans and they don't want to be associated with MAGA.
>I remember wanting to play a wizard to cast spells but then realizing that I spent 95% of my turns throwing darts because there were no cantrips.

I agree, but this is the "video game" mindset of which we've fallen into the trap. Why is the expectation that you can continuously cast spells like a video game? The world wasn't designed that way.
A friend of mine needed to create ideograms of chromosomes and abnormalities. This was my first time using graphics (in C#) to render the ideograms and React for front-end. Turned out to be a fun little project.
> In truth, politics is not front and center of people's existence.

In a world where everything is politicized, this cannot be correct. It's just described differently.
It explicitly says they must stop killing Palestinians. None of their current military tactics satisfy this demand.
I too considered this possibility. Though I didn't assign high probability to this interpretation.
> there's an in group and an out group

Which means “patriarchy and white supremacy” are not “inextricably intertwined.” Exhibit A for this not being race determined: how we keep redefining “whiteness” in America based on whoever is rich. To the point, today, that White + Asian is a common category. (Or how we cleave Hispanic from non-Hispanic Whites.)

Patriarchy is intertwined with wealth and power, but in a demonstrably extricable way. Conflating it with racism is a terrific way to halt any progress towards dismantling it, and for good reason.
Seems a bit pseudo-sciencey to me. "Brain cleaning" and "Immune refresh" in particular. Beware that even if correct, looking at this chart doesn't, in my opinion, really make you any better informed about the effects of fasting. Individual variability is high when it comes to eating. Also this doesn't seem to address the psychological effects of fasting - in my experience it induced an almost euphoric calm, which I later figured was probably the body releasing a bunch of hormones or something in response to a sustained unhealthy calorie deficit. In the end I realised that IF had become basically an eating disorder, and if you look at youtube videos of IF proponents you can find a lot of people with similar stories. Don't mix eating with philosophy, or only do so in moderation. You have very little chance of outperforming the evolved bodily systems for appetite etc with hard logic, numbers, and calculation. I've made similar mistakes with other kinds of diet, e.g. going round the supermarket craving a steak and thinking "hmm, maybe something mushroom-based". I don't do that anymore and I'm happier for it.
Good news is it's not because of what happened to the Rio Tinto in Spain... This is ecology running its course.
I have a similar problem where it worked through Stable Diffusion / PyTorch (worked as in, didn't crash), but the resulting images are just full of garbage. I wish there was some sort of test tool or hello world that could be use to diagnose this stuff, but I didn't find anything.

May I know what kind of development do you do specifically for Linux from Windows? Honestly, all personal projects that I do can be easily be done on Windows since web dev is agnostic. I do run the apps on Linux machine which is taken care by Docker images.

I played with WSL2 and it's interesting to see Windows can directly access Wsl2 Ubuntu directory.

I'm sure it has limitation such as once I tried LLM model and WSL2 lacked support for AMDGPU, therefore it did not have any GPU acceleration.
Does anyone else find it interesting how overrepresented the topic of heat pumps are on hacker news lately?
I've fasted up to 5 days. It's an interesting experience but I wouldn't recommend it.

The only really interesting thing to say about it is that by day 3 I had entered the calmest period of my life. I'm prone to depression and anxiety, have meditated extensively, weaned off coffee...whatever you can think of apart from hard drugs I have done. Never felt so at peace looking at a wall for hours, total absence of intruding thoughts. Just immersed in a warm pool of grey space.

Only stopped at 5 days because it was affecting my sex life. I know people who have fasted for a month, no big deal once you get going.
I submitted a story about a slide for kids: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38442577. And the only comment was about how it would lead to lawsuits. This is a slide, something kids have used for 100+ years.
I think the lack of bins in UK stations is for a similar reason (IRA bombings during the Troubles).
Is said domain AI?
Could be some fomo.
Perhaps I am unlearned in this area but I am unclear why the Jewish state, after its people experienced the atrocities of World War II, would act in this manner toward the Palestinians. Can anyone shed light on this? I understand completely the need to rid the world of Hamas terrorists, but in the process they have shown a reckless disregard (to put it mildly) for Palestinian people and their wellbeing.
The entire point of the article is that this is wrong.
Great, just implemented auto discovery links into the userpages. Go check out: e.g. https://daftsocial.com/daftsocial/
Very annoyed by this change. I had been checking daily on pre-order availability.

I'm still tempted because they seem to offer a HoloISO download that is pre-configured to work on the device.

It would be interesting to me to check in how much social media algorithms can change people opinions.
We've had a discussion about it last month but I thought this would be a nice reminder since it's next week =)
> Is there a liberal counterpart to Andrew Tate, for example?

Jesus Christ? Or are you asking for a contemporary counterpart?
>So maybe that's the solution? Convince billionaires that open source software is a philanthropic endeavor?

Is it, though? This isn't the attitude we have towards things like USB-IF or the Unicode Consortium, both of which are non-profits that were started by for-profit companies trying to solve a technical challenge for their own, joint benefit.

Hardware and software companies need a working operating system to be able to make money.
I’ve done 7 days twice. The first started with food poisoning after a dodgy kebab and not being able to keep anything down. I had only water and sparkling water. The first thing you realise is that you don’t just eat because you’re hungry. I discovered that eating was triggered by a few other things like boredom. I found it hard to distinguish between genuine hunger and the burning sensation I get and in the end I convinced myself I wasn’t really hungry. Drinking water also satiates. Some other interesting things happens. I had 5 days without a poo. I could still run but only for 3k before bonking. I was naturally more tired but otherwise stuck to my normal routine. I had periods of feeling ecstatic which were amazing. Resuming eating was a bit of a let down too - I was looking forward to things tasting out of this world but I got none of that. You lose a ton of weight and your immune system gets a bit a refresh too.
Bluesky CEO confronts content moderation in the Fediverse
Hahahaha perhaps it's from exactly that.. I did finish watching 5 episodes of the US The office a few mins before I wrote this!! GREAT catch!!
I did it in my late teenage years, alongside many 24-48 hour religiously-motivated fasts. (In this case, they were water-only.)

24 hours isn't two bad. The second 24 hours is awful. That's when the headaches come. The third 24 hours your body starts stabilizing and it's pretty doable from there. Friends who went longer said it gets bad again in the second week.
But the same people who refuse to see the difference between "civilizations that systematically conduct large-scale murder" and "civilizations that don't" will, if you disagree, call you a Nazi. But if the two are equivalent, then what's wrong with being a Nazi?

Note well: I am not endorsing the Nazis. I am merely pointing out a bizarre aspect of cultural relativism and associated movements.

Also note: They could make a case that the Spaniards were also in the "systematically conducting large-scale murder" category. But if that's the argument, then there's still a moral judgment to be made between civilizations.
I get that they have no laws in Texas but I think California could probably shut them down for providing illegal non compliant housing. Also a fired employee could challenge his firing under tenant protection laws… opening the door all sorts of stupid things.
The performance we're talking about here is not startup time, but responsiveness to keystrokes. Fast startup should also be a goal, but this is primarily an editor for doing development work with, and for me at least those kind of editors stay open all day (or more) for each project I'm working on. I use a very lean vim configuration for other use cases.
This is really not how the military works.

People mistake depictions of boot camp for day to day operations.

(Which is to say, the military is a highly regimented organisation, but the idea that it's all about blind obedience is very much not the case)
I just checked it with Bard:

Me: Annotate main scheduler in linux kernel version 6 for interactive workload on multiple cores.

Bard: I'm unable to directly annotate kernel code, but I can provide a detailed explanation of the main scheduler's components and mechanisms for interactive workloads on multiple cores in Linux kernel version 6, incorporating images where appropriate:

Key Components:

Completely Fair Scheduler (CFS):
Primary scheduling class for interactive tasks
Aims for fairness and responsiveness
Employs a red-black tree (image below) to organize processes based on their virtual runtime (vruntime)
Processes with lower vruntime are given priority

redblack tree data structure

Per-CPU runqueues:
Each CPU core maintains its own runqueue
Stores processes ready to run on that core
Reduces contention and improves cache locality

Load balancing:
Mechanisms to distribute processes across cores for optimal performance
Triggered when a core becomes idle or imbalanced
Migrates processes from overloaded cores to underloaded ones

Scheduling Process:

Process Creation:
New processes are assigned to a suitable scheduling class (CFS for interactive)
Added to a runqueue, initially on the core where they were created

Process Wakeup:
When a process becomes ready to run:
Added to the runqueue of the core where it last ran or a suitable core (load balancing)

Process Selection:
CFS periodically selects a process from the runqueue
Chooses the one with the lowest vruntime (most deprived of CPU time)

Context Switch:
The scheduler saves the state of the running process
Restores the state of the selected process to resume execution

Key Features for Multi-Core:

Per-CPU runqueues:
Minimize cache-line bouncing and inter-core communication
Improve performance on multi-core systems
Load balancing:
Ensures efficient use of all available CPU cores
Prevents cores from becoming idle while others are overloaded
Scalability:
CFS design scales well with increasing core counts
Maintains fairness and responsiveness in large systems

Additional Considerations:

Scheduler domains:
Hierarchical structures for managing CPU resources across multiple cores or NUMA nodes
Allow for fine-grained control over scheduling policies
Preemption:
CFS supports preemption to prevent processes from monopolizing the CPU
Ensures interactive tasks remain responsive

Remember:

Linux kernel version 6 is under development, so specific details may change.
The scheduler is a complex component with various optimizations and tuning parameters.
Understanding its behavior requires deeper exploration of the code and experimentation.
I believe the next step is an "Algolia" of sorts for cosine-similarity search.

Why bother with chunking data, synching it, and then tagging metadata to it. DB providers should be smart enough to optimize chunking strategy for the kind of content being indexed and then provide a simple API endpoint to query against their data.

"RAG in a can".
It’s both. But it’s ultimately the profit motive that drives a business at all.
I didn't deny that a sick person can spread disease in that situation, or any others. I'm making a point about the safety trafeoffs and risk tolerance. We can't be 100% safe all the time, and this includes our relationship with germs and the microbial world.
That's true! In Germany there's the law that you need to be able to cancel a subscription the same way you created it. So if I click a button, you can't ask me to call you. But it's circumvented, and you're right, internationally it's so much worse. And they call it "customer retention" lol
Just a 5k during the mornings. Maybe some light lifting. Just drank some coffee beforehand.
People are saying that that if you turn it off (maybe even unplug it) for 10 minutes, it goes away. Hopefully that's the case for you.
It depends on how you want to spend your time, right? Fully agree you can change people, but is that worth spending your time? Do you have other goals in life?

I recall a moving story to me on ... "This American Life" on NPR, which had a story about the most moving way for people to change their minds on polarizing issues, is to spend lots of time talking & hanging out with people who lived personally with whatever is the opposing views in a civil manner.

The example at the time was based on groups not accepting the gay lifestyle spending time with those who were.

But just because you try, doesn't mean the other person is ready to accept. So like in chaos theory, you have to plan on failure..... hope for success.

This is just marketing for a company that sells “fasting mints” whatever the hell that means. There are plenty of reputable sources on the science of fasting and this isn’t one.
These all demonstrate how vital Steve Jobs was to Apple. All they could do is repackage the same thing over and over -- so many different form factors of the same thing.

Friendly reminder that Alzheimer's may entirely be driven by Candida yeast. If you know anyone diagnosed with Alzheimer's I strongly recommend doing an Organic Acids Test for d-arabinitol specifically to see if it's high. If it is, candida could be the cause (not of all Alzheimer's, but some cases where d-arabinitol is high).
It's not about religion, it's about occupation. Zionists got permission to occupy the land from the British with The Balfour Declaration then started the invasion in full in 1948 with Nakba. When you occupy someone's land, there can never be peace until they get their land back or are fully exterminated or controlled militarily. This is why colonization most often leads to genocide or permanent apartheid.
Wizards were definitely weaker and more. Limited in those early levels In early dnd. In retrospect with the way "modern" dnd has removed those limitations it's definitely skewed the internal.

Article's focus is the search for a new method. Okay. But it's strikingly immoral to unquestioningly repeat the lie that it was a humane execution - it wasn't even close (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/jan/25/alabama-exec...) and to euphemistically use the medically meaningless 'nitrogen hypoxia' term.

There are some exceedingly cruel people in charge who could order this - twice - knowing the risk. But it is downright Orwellian to outright lie and call it humane. Whether or not he deserved to die, not one deserves to be tortured to death. Shame.

Whether they do this out of their own conviction or due to external influence is ultimately secondary. The Guardian is taking a clear side in the culture war and subjects her reporting to it. Check out their reporting on topics like race, immigration, gender relations, or the Middle East.

They operate at up to 400% efficiency and represent serious low hanging fruit for household carbon footprint reduction and the main barrier is education, so no I don’t think they are overrepresented.
