It takes the pin changes (matrix or already decoded keys isn't clear to me) and generates the appropriate HID reports based on whether they're tapped, long pressed, shifted, etc. Not the hardest code in the world to write, but a long way from leftpad and fairly easy to miss edge cases on the first try.

Besides, what's the issue with someone writing a personal abstraction library? Java programmers commit greater crimes than this daily.
That's like how iphones mean more to Apple than MacOS

Personally, as much as I loved Windows 10 (and then 11!), I saw the writing on the wall and I moved to Linux last year.

I trust Microsoft a little more than Apple, as by default there's more freedom on Windows than on MacOS, but I fully expect both Apple (and Microsoft) to care about about cellphone users (and gamers) than about developers.
Yeah, well, I happen to know a union leader for teachers in NJ who is losing tenured staff to COSTCO. So. I reject the clickbait headline and the implications.
Brian K White believes that his right for his body to be forcefully ejected from a vehicle and fatally strike an onlooker is obviously more important that a person’s right to exist in public (or in private) within launching distance of his corpse catapult.

Alternatively he believes that refusing to wear a seat belt guarantees that a person stays inside a vehicle (through sheer force of liberty and grit) during an impact

> This iPhone trope has gotta die

It’s not a trope if it’s true. Most hard core nerds didn’t get it until they had tried it hands on (including myself, I panned the device hard until I tried it). Then it was the exorbitant price point ($650 at a time when nobody really paid for phones). Then it was the lack of hardware keyboard. No “real” apps. No copy and paste (even my older at the time Symbian S60 devices had that). The list goes on and on.

I get it, if you were at another phone manufacturer, you might’ve been scared, but the reality is the iPhone didn’t really pick up steam in the market until 3G or 3GS.
I mean they already plan to have a Sony-made closed black box "AI" chip that sends telemetry to Sony, and they unapologetically work with ex-surveillance people, they're already there imo.

Ask HN: Should I teach you hackers how to teach a skill?
I've been learning skills by teaching them for the last 8 years. I started by teaching people chess, then I taught problem-solving, and now I'm teaching how to teach. (I obviously taught lots more stuff in between, but I summarize, ha.)

Assuming you're down to try, here's some basic stuff I need:

1) 15-20 minutes for a session zero, where we decide how to teach you. I'll give a plethora of options: e.g., I can be super theory heavy. Or I can emphasize practice with almost no theory. Or you can learn by watching me like a hawk. Or suggest your favorite path.

2) I need a way to get in touch. Discord's great for many many reasons, but if you really don't want to, offer an alternative that can be accessed through a personal computer. We'll need to voice chat as a minimum. Click on my profile for contact info or comment here.

For reasons why this whole thing may not be the best idea, see below:

a) I will ask you to give back in some way (but I'll let you choose how.) You could teach someone (not necessarily me) a skill you already possess. Or you could donate to keep my effort afloat. Or you could choose to decide a bit later. Something like that.

b) I mean to teach you how to teach a skill. This is not the Feynman technique; a skill to me is the ability to reach a specified result automatically and consistently.

c) I live in the Americas; if you're in Africa/Europe you're 6-7 hours ahead. If you're in Asia you're 12-16 hours ahead. (If Antartica, wtf are you doing there?) My schedules tend to be flexible but Asia-located people may struggle to get ahold of me.

If there's any other cons you can think of, leave them here, I'll respond in the comments if I agree.

One of the reason I passed on a townhome in Wallingford with a really good view was because of the tire noise on the ship canal bridge. I’m not sure the other bridge is any better though. A tunnel under it all would be ideal.

Whenever I visit Vancouver, I find the traffic horrible compared to Seattle. It’s like…no I don’t want to drive here (to be fair, I don’t want to drive downtown Seattle either, but there is so much more going on in downtown Vancouver that it’s hard to avoid).

What do you think about the TRUNCATE ... CASCADE functionality in terms of UX? The docs clearly state what the behavior is [1], but I've worked on managed Postgres and Postgres tooling for over fifteen years now, and I can't say with certainty I would not have made the same mistake [2]. Do you think there's reasonable changes Postgres could make to the syntax or the mechanism around TRUNCATE to avoid accidents like this?

[1]: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-truncate.html
[2]: I like to think I would have at least checked the docs because there's no efficient way for TRUNCATE ... CASCADE to work how you intended given how I know TRUNCATE is implemented, but who knows?
I've never gotten a positive response for it. I thank you for your interest on it and the reference, that's good!

BTW, it's simple to implement.
> Not noticing a hugely growing segment that was bringing insane reams of cash to Apple, and Qualcomm, Samsung and others involved is not something I could call astute.

And it's not like they didn't notice either. Apple literally asked intel to supply the chips for the first iPhone, but the intel CEO at the time "didn't see it".

The website claims “Design, Construction and Operation according to US SUBSAFE.” I’d want that for my submarine, of course, but I wonder if it’s realistic.

I’d understood that SUBSAFE was a comprehensive program applied to U.S. Navy submarines by the Naval Sea Systems Command, not merely a published standard with which one could comply without extensive, ongoing involvement by NAVSEA, which presumably has no mandate to support foreign yacht builders.
I once received a cease-and-desist from my employer, who was a big tech company!

I had written a small shareware app called JazAwake. It was designed to stop the Iomega Jaz drive from spinning down every two minutes or so.

They did not know who I was but the stakes were instantly very high. If they filed a suit, they would uncover my identity, realize I worked for them, and terminate my employment.

To make matters worse, I was relatively sure the demands were impossible to meet. They requested I stop distributing the program AND remove all traces of it from the internet.

Similar to the linked article, I spent 9-months responding to demand letters. To my own surprise, I was eventually successful in removing it from the internet. I had to send my own demand letters (which were nicer) to every website owner who mentioned or linked to a copy of the app.

one reviewer said they kept hitting "No" and "cancel" when they meant "Yes" because their natural progression was to look at the buttons in order, pick out the one they want to press but actually click it after they finish scanning all of them with their "mouse" paused on the one they want to hit.

> There hasn’t been an Intel acquisition that has worked out in some 20 years now it seems.

Maybe Habana Labs?

I can't really tell if it's working out for Intel, but I do hear them mentioned now and then.
I think a lot has happened in Intel land since Apple folk stopped paying attention, as well. Intel still has a lot of work to do to catch up to AMD, but they have been fairly consistently posting gains in all areas. Apple really doesn't have a power advantage other than that granted by their process node at this point, against either AMD or Intel. AMD has seemingly delayed the Strix Halo launch because it wasn't necessary to compete at the moment. And Qualcomm is taking the same path Apple has, but is willing to sell to anyone, and as a result has chips in all standalone VR headsets other than Apple's.

It remains to be seen if Apple is willing or able to scale their architecture to something workstation class (the last Intel Mac Pro supported 1.5TB of ram, it's easy to build a 4TB Epyc workstation these days).
Cache: directive is very useful for many circumstances, especially for information archiving purpose, what a shame Google even want to cancel it.

a semi-informed guess is that paper checks are uniquely useful for entering some kinds of contracts between ordinary people or small business. A check here has only five or so parts, but by controlling those well, checks can and are used in somewhat unexpected ways, and they can be formed to fit various ordinary contract clauses, too.

one surprising use of a check is that one could write five checks, each with an amount and further away date.. e.g. dated the first of the month for the next four months. Those checks are now a reliable source for a loan in cash, since you signed each one. there are many other examples..

It absolutely is a policy of the OS and whoever is in charge of it. Nearly all of them provide their own libraries and decree that the only supported way to interface with the system is via those libraries. So you cannot "find a different libc or do without libc" on the vast majority of operating systems out there. You literally cannot get away from the OS libraries. If you try, your software inevitably breaks when they change system call numbers and semantics. Golang found out the hard way. Here's an awesome quotation from a BSD guy:

> I have altered the ABI. Pray I do not alter it any further.

Linux is actually the odd one. It's the only one with a stable language-agnostic system call ABI. It's stable because breaking the ABI makes Linus Torvalds send out extremely angry emails to the people involved until they fix it. Because of this stability, you actually can have alternative libc implementations like musl and you can also rewrite literally everything in Rust or Lisp if you want. Only on Linux can you do this.

For some reason people try extra hard to make it look like glibc is some integral part of the kernel. Diagrams on Wikipedia showing glibc enveloping the kernel like it's some outer component. Look up Linux manuals and you somehow get glibc manuals instead. The truth is they're completely independent projects. The GNU developers have zero power to force anyone to use glibc on Linux. You can make a freestanding application using system calls directly and literally boot Linux into it. I have made it my goal to create an entire programming language and ecosystem centered around that exact concept.
The other day I did an AI related search and had zero organic results above the fold. It has begun.

Judge voids Elon Musk's $56B Tesla compensation package
It's not possible to cool those Intel cpus better and still have good battery life, and quiet operation in a compact laptop form factor. The last Intel macbooks would get very hot and very loud when running hard, and kill the battery in minutes... my M1 never makes a sound or feels even slightly warm to the touch when running hard, yet is a heck of a lot more powerful, and can run hard all day long on a single battery charge.

Well, that'd have to be something that reacts with concrete that doesn't react with water, or plants in any way, something that isn't harmful to the animal ecosystem in the sand, or even the bacterial ecosystem so no big ph swings, and then you have to evenly distribute this product into a near infinite volume of sand.

Not the point of this article, but I've been so curious if we've spent enough time debating if we could/should just send a ton of some kind of material/balloons/mirrors to the Lagrange point between us and the sun.

Yup, yup, yup. Everything human-usable is going to be in a pressure hull, because a hundred meters of depth is going to absolutely wreck more or less everything. Especially seals. Hangar doors give me nightmares.

They might pressurize the crew spaces, a little, but it's really not possible to crank up the air pressure meaningfully for any duration, too hard on the body, and totally lethal if they come up too fast. On that subject google up "saturation diving" for some frickin' horrors. Those dudes make bank, but whew, talk about earning it.
So what you’re saying is that if video conferencing works, regardless of it works well or poorly, it works therefore it’s not an issue. Even if a team worked faster, more efficiently, in person. It’s ok to be remote because it worked even tho they are less efficient and it doesn’t work as well.
Here is what I see taking shape across a number of cities:

1. A big micromobility boom. This describes a number of phenomena: the e-bikes are perhaps the most visible since they add a lot of power to a bike commute and make it easier to justify doing big distances by bike. But equally, the docked bikeshares have found a foothold in many places big and small, and those help extend transit range quite a bit while creating an institutional platform for bike-friendly streets: the bikeshare services will always lobby for whatever makes them the best option.

2. The "unbundled car". This is something Tony Seba uses in his discussions on disruption: the car bundled a large number of services into one solution: "get in the car and drive." Many of those solutions have transitioned to online, delivery, etc. So the car's raison d'etre is diminished today and diminishing further as we develop more alternatives.

3. The future rebundling of transport as a service. The first step in this was the reshuffling of taxi/delivery drivers to gig economy labor. This was probably too early and too reliant on zero interest rates, but one of the things that always courted investment in these businesses was that robotics could take over and perform self-driving. And while it's still not an evenly distributed phenomenon, Waymo exists. I have it on my phone. Waymo itself may not be the last word in how self-driving tech is deployed, but the tech will increasingly realign "cars" with "transit" by lowering the cost of professional vehicle operation. In the current US market, there's been a shortage of bus drivers, and scheduling them is a large pain point for deploying transit. You can't drop driver quality because of the liability involved in operating huge vehicles. Private autos have gotten away with a legal hack that normalizes poor driving by making the individual an owner-operator and blaming them for their inevitable failures. So the economics will work out that cars and fixed-route mass transit are still competitive, but you will get more mobility per dollar invested by adding self-drive to your transit system, because then high-quality driving and scheduling scales and you can flood the streets with both big and small transit vehicles. Therefore, in the future, city buses will run more frequently on more routes and at later hours.
