It exists for sure in the UK (you should complain to Ofcom as regulator in your case) - I would assume it's the same in the EU because it's not new, and the kind of thing we shared.

Show HN: HNRelevant – Explore Related Discussions on HN in an Integrated Sidebar
Reading submissions here, I often feel intrigued and want to explore more interconnected or similar stories. The process of googling and going back and forth didn't feel natural. So, I made this browser extension that adds a related submissions section for HN's layout. The results are displayed in a sidebar right in the page's layout using HN native style just like other elements.

I enjoy being knee-deep in discussions. Many times you're learning about something new, where the topic is either unfamiliar, thought-provoking, or just could use some context that you don't even know about. If a submission is interesting enough for me to click on, chances are I'd like to dig deeper into this topic and there are more related discussions that offer new context or perspective.

This is an extension that I always have on so I paid special attentions to UX to make it intuitive and seamless and now the extension has become just part of the HN experience for me. Implementation-wise, it integrates https://hn.algolia.com/ API and uses the submission title as its initial query with the ability to change the query and other options interactively.

It's available on: Chrome, Firefox, and as a userscript.

Chrome:https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/hnrelevant/iajhnkei...

Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hnrelevant/

The whole point of having subs is that they are meant to be stealthy and survive the initial strike. If you took them out it's game over and the dead hand system is useless.

The opposite: eSIM allows IoT devices being moved from one operator to another remotely, with no physical SIM swap. With device using physical SIM this wouldn't be economical, with eSIM remote change it can be. This allows long term users (meters, industrial connectivity, ...) not to be tied to a single MNO. They can regularly renegotiate their contract, and use competition. And the telcos really hate this, and tried to delay this happening as much as they could. Still in the end users and device makers managed to push this through the telcos throat.

It seems impossible to solve this by just everyone adopting a manifesto that one GitHub guy wrote many years ago and which has been adopted in some communities but not in many others. And besides there is plenty of (1) human judgement about what is breaking and not (which goes against machine-readability), and (2) worrying about the minutiae of what is a “patch” and a “feature”, and (3) weird implicit social taboos about doing major releases “too often” (?).[1][2]

Most things might be solved by everyone doing SemVer. And for all I know some communities might be running like greased pigs in a chute exactly because they use SemVer (I don’t tend to hear about the everyday everything-is-working stories on HN). But also doing static linking a bit more seems like it would help a lot with the same problem.

[1] All based on discussions I’ve seen. Not really personal experience.

[2] Again, making a spec/manifesto which is both about machine-readability and about shaming people for vague things is very muddled. Although I don’t know how much the latter is about the culture around it rather than the spec itself.
Speaking of thumb drives.

In the case of copying files to a mounted file system, I’ve sometimes found it faster to use a tar pipeline than cp when copying data to an USB stick or SD/microSD card.

Instead of:

cp -r ~/wherever/somedir/ /media/SOMETHING/

I would do

cd ~/wherever/
tar cf - somedir/ | ( cd /media/SOMETHING/ && tar xvf - )

And it would be noticably faster.

Not the same use case as linked article, but wanted to bring this up since it’s somewhat related.

That's interesting, I assumed htmx already did morph the dom this way.

Strawman - I explicitly referred to those hostages that were members of the IDF.

> Conflating the hostages to the Israeli prisoners is terrorist rhetoric

Ah, so anyone who disagrees with you is a terrorist? I see you.

You're also implying that all hostages held by Israel were involved in the attack on 7/10 - blatantly untrue. Several Israeli soldiers are on camera saying they take Palestinians hostage purely so they have something to exchange with Hamas - this has been going on for years.

> Red Cross was pretty useless and one sided against Israel.

I'm sorry, but this is the kind of nonsense that spokespeople (like Eylon Levy) and career racists (like David Colier) like to espouse - everyone who disagrees with Israel's genocidal actions is an antisemite and/or Hamas lover. "The Red Cross are Hamas". "The UN are Hamas". Honestly, it's pretty pathetic.

On Israeli guards torturing and raping Palestinian prisoners, including children, there is a wealth of evidence and many, many video interviews with victims. Here is just one story: https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/tamara-nassar/israel-cr...

How would you handle the valid case that a function returns a pointer to heap allocated memory?

"Manual memory management" is exactly what the label says, it's "manual".

What you usually do is group all allocated items with the same max lifetime in an arena allocator created somewhere up the call stack, and then defer-free the entire arena instead of each individual item. In real world code there's hardly a situation where each item requires its own lifetime tracking, instead they are usually lumped together with other items of a similar lifetime.

Zig's GeneralPurposeAllocator also helps to catch typical memory-related issues at runtime (like leaks and dangling access), e.g. see:

https://github.com/ziglang/zig/blob/master/lib/std/heap/gene...

Tagged-index-handles are also always an option to achieve spatial and temporal runtime memory safety at a higher level:

These have not independently confirmed. There is a history of passing by israel of Mexican cartel videos and photos of military women perished in other Middle Eastern conflicts as atrocities commited by Hamas .

I am not saying that Hamas did not (or did) commit the crimes on videos, it just the source is so reliably untrustworthy, so the videos cannot be taken seriously.

I’m almost afraid to answer this because it’s pretty controversial.

Ime. Depends. If it’s in service to the work, and the developers find it useful, then sure. But I’ve seen teams work a whole lot of different ways and be successful.

But the important thing is that the team finds it useful.

There are plenty of ways to build a product or a company that doesn’t rely on a daily meeting.

Remember that Scrum doesn't care about the format: that's up to the developers to decide. Scrum only cares that people stay on the same page and most importantly are productive in helping move forward with open communication and collaboration to hit the sprint goals.

I’ve seen this meeting used by clients and executives to micromanage everything, and sometimes telling the “business owner” they aren’t invited to the meetings isn’t possible. For example, telling a non-technical, micromanaging startup CEO who’s just discovered the power of SCRUM while under pressure for a raise and feeling behind on their product delivery to sit down and just listen very easily. Or in some teams doing a daily meeting works only around releases and they don’t feel like it’s useful all the time. There are a lot of forms that works successfully, but everyone has strong opinions on what does and does not work.

You don’t want to be too prescriptive. What my experience has taught me is to have someone in charge of the product delivery — and then allow them to run the show with whatever support they need. That allows for a lot of flexibility while keeping accountability.
Like with all contingency systems it's necessary to do a "fire drill" exercise from time to time. Pretend that you lost your data and attempt to recover a few files from backups. Pretend that your house burned down and you can't use any item from home. This will give you confidence that your system is working.
> I’m saying addiction as a term referred to chemical dependency.

Addiction does not exclusively refer to chemical dependency.

> Now it is being redefined to mean “people doing anything I don’t like and don’t think they should do”.

I don't know where you got that impression, if that were the case then I would expect there to be widespread disagreement about what is addictive.
Why is it not possible that both dependency and addictive substances are often harmful?

> Whatever you call it there is a tremendous difference in type between alcoholism or opioid dependency and social media use.

What does difference in type mean? Are we distinguishing between alcoholism and opioid dependency or between material conditions and it's presentation in social media?

They do share quite a few characteristics.

>Anecdotally in my family, kids and the old people don't get Androids for that reason.

Anecdotally, I'm not seeing malware as a significant problem on Android, even with most people using phones that haven't been updated in years. The app sandboxing apparently works well enough and most people don't "sideload" anyway.

Android also has parental controls and stuff, which lets you restrict it further. And, frankly, I would not give children unrestricted iPhone access, either; there's plenty of harmful content in the official App Store and Safari.

I agree that sideloading technically adds some risks, but it's overblown in these discussions, often at the cost of more serious concerns (see what smartphones are doing to children and teenagers in general).

PCalc
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pcalc/id284666222

PCalc is a legendary application, started as a kind of "Hello World" non-trivial app on the Classic MacOS platform. Since those early days, there has been a PCalc release on every Apple device, using the native SDK.

Meanwhile, it has also gained some features. There are a few configurations to choose from, simple or scientific or RPN mode. You can edit the buttons.

It's a bit quirky, with a special mode for unit conversions, and a "tape" that shows the history of all the calculations, like a paper tape desktop calculator.

As a thing with buttons that helps you bang out a quick calculation, it doesn't suck.
I'm a person that is very much motivated by missions and lofty bullshit. This mean that I would have a hard time writing api integration glue code in the financial sector regardless of compensation. Is this good that I feel this way? Maybe not because it limits my career opportunities but it is what it is.

Best gig I've had in this aspect were one where there weren't any mission but I created it for myself and that let me find meaning in my work. The problem with that approach were that the rest of the organization didn't share my mission so there were lot of little conflicts due to this and I wasn't aware enough back then to trace it back to this incompatibility/non alignment.

I’m not convinced. My inbox for blogs is RSS reader. If you need to baywall your content that’s fine. However, the way 404 does it doesn’t seem like a viable solution to the stated problem. 404 has a free plan that give access to some content. It’s trivially easy to turn an email into a webpage/RSS. There are a plenty of free tools for that on the internet. It’s also next to no-effort-easy to get an email account on GMail. They don’t even check for the most popular temp email services so they don’t even make it moderately hard to bypass this email-gate.

The purpose of a system is what it does. It states that it’s to protect their content from AI but it’s trivially easy to bypass. So what we have is another email collector.

They have this on their Privacy Policy (prominently featured in the top menu) as the first sentence:

> Your privacy is critically important to us.

I feel like email collection is inherently in conflict with this stement. Thre are other ways to verify a viewer is not an AI. Like one of those ridiculous mini-game captchas out there. They are annoying but they can be implemented in a privacy-respecting manner. And AIs can’t do them well yet.

> Apple says that by transacting with a customer _by any means_ on their platform, you owe them a part of that transaction.

That is indeed what the US Federal court ruled in Apple v. Epic, and all possible appeals have let that ruling stand.

> as discussed in the findings of facts, IAP is the method by which Apple collects its licensing fee from developers for the use of Apple’s intellectual property. Even in the absence of IAP, Apple could still charge a commission on developers. It would simply be more difficult for Apple to collect that commission.

Indeed, while the Court finds no basis for the specific rate chosen by Apple (i.e., the 30% rate) based on the record, the Court still concludes that Apple is entitled to some compensation for use of its intellectual property.
