There's a good children's book about Eskimo undersea child-snatching monsters: https://www.annickpress.com/Books/A/A-Promise-Is-a-Promise

They don't use bags, though it's always possible that that's an adaptation of the original story. It seems more likely that there is cultural variation in traditional stories.

There is no need to make it impossible for a monster to target adults. You can just say that they target children.

Not at all. It's only being installed in specific, high value areas within a specific jurisdiction. And mainly as a backup. Notably by a party which doesn't control GPS (albeit a close ally).

LORAN has also been used near airports in developed areas for a long time.

That isn't the 'base case' though.

The US military initially developed and launched GPS because of the reasons I stated, and it is still widely used as a base case for exactly those reasons.
> "just pay for iCloud bro!” The entire reason I'm doing this is to NOT do that.

Even if you do pay for iCloud you have essentially no way to know what's going on apart from owning a Mac or using iTunes.

There's not even a basic progress bar on the iPhone of what's being backed up there or not.
I agree with this. The sleep apnea world is kind of a weird racket; in order to buy $150 worth of electronics, you need to pay a doctor $5000 to interpret the results of a sleep test. Insurance companies require this because they don't want to waste money on electronics if there is no disease that needs to be treated. But of course, the testing costs them more than the devices. (And the devices aren't $150, because they aren't marketed directly to consumers, they're marketed towards insurance companies. That means you get to jack up the price because people aren't using real money to buy them.)

There was probably some argument for requiring a prescription when someone needed to adjust the pressure, but now that the machines do that themselves, they should probably just be available at Wal-Mart next to the reading glasses.
When I went to Germany for the first time in around 2009 they didn't have any bags at the grocery store checkout. You either carried you shopping in your arms or took one of the cardboard boxes they brought out from the deliveries, if there were some left.

You remember your own bags after that.

At that time in the UK free disposable bags were in full force. Although i do remember when i was young we used to take shopping home in cardboard boxes stacked at the front of the store in the same way as they had in Germany still.

Hey man.

I don't know you, but even if you had a highly successful app on the appstore, I (an internet stranger) would care more about you being hit by a bus than the Apple corporation would, or any of the MBAs over there that you worship.

Any relationship you think you have with Apple is completely in your head. They take advantage of people like you all the time. Developing for Apple is an abusive relationship, and that's always a difficult thing to come to terms with.

I know this comment is probably just going to annoy you and result in a long, ranty, defensive, passive aggressive response. I don't care. I still love you more than Tim Cook/Steve Jobs does/would, my fellow dev.
> Rust's borrow checker has a reputation for making it hard to write entity-component systems. And ECS are core to modern game dev.

Isn't it the opposite? That rust's borrow checker makes it hard for non-ECS paradigms due to ownership and XOR mutability rules. While ECS is best for rust, as it "owns" things and schedules the mutating functions without any conflicting race conditions.

The most popular engine in rust right now is bevy, which embraces ECS for everything (including UI).
Another area not discussed in the article is Meta's (especially on IG) suppression of Palestinian content. They're not alone in this of the social media companies, but they are the most aggressive.

This means that Meta, and realistically one person, Mark Zuckerberg, is able to have massive impact on even the conversations people are having.

The adrenaline rush of participating in tribal warfare by proxy.
In addition to being counterproductive (as explained by others), there's another issue with these token environmental laws that add highly visible inconveniences with no actual benefit (e.g. bag or straw bans): they annoy people, leading to resentment and rejection of environmentalism as a whole, harming the chances of policies that would actually have a meaningful positive effect being adopted. [1] .

My impression is that these laws are often popular among one group because they annoy another, perceived as being in the wrong - which then leads to the second group pushing laws that will annoy the first, even if they don't make sense.

The worst that can happen is that the image tool saves back a corrupted image. But that's also possible with a buggy (but memory safe) Rust image loader/saver, memory safety doesn't automatically fix all classes of bugs.

Apart from that it would be quite a feat to use internal memory corruption for anything useful in WASM, because both the code and callstack live outside the sandbox and are not accessible from within (e.g. tricks like return-oriented programming are not possible in WASM.
This is certainly an option (as is not buying the pastries), but it gets pretty uncomfortable over a 15 or even 10 minute walk, because you have to keep the boxes level. You can't just hold them by your side.

It's even worse if you have to e.g. jump on a crowded subway.

There's a repo at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/unofficial_user_repositorie..., but nothing new as far as I know.

I've used it for a while, ran into some minor issues from time to time, but nothing critical.
At all? Not even ublock origin? That would actually go against your stated goal of security/privacy.
"As someone who didn't grow up with computers, can someone explain the appeal of spending hours alone staring at a screen? Why would you want to be isolated in a dark room for extended periods tapping on a keyboard, when you can step outside and experience real-life activities with people you share a passion with? I don't think someone could pay me to spend my free time glued to a computer (well, maaaaaaybe for $9000). What's the draw? What am I missing?"

See what I did there.
Now, there is at least one stomach ;)
Isn't that true for the other new formats they support too?

Why single out JPEG XL?
I wish we had a global news broadcast system, like XM Radio but for plaintext snippets that they just broadcast everywhere for anyone to receive. Would be a cool thing for Starlink to do pro bono (and a super enticing target for propaganda and advertising).
usually when i'm walking in a city, i'll have a coat with pockets or a small bag with me, containing things like a water bottle, a snack, an extra layer, a book, maybe laptop. it's not hard to fold up a small cloth tote and carry that too.
Is there a way to use browser extensions safely?
Any extension that looks interesting needs access to everything I see on the screen (and even modify it), which to me seems a huge security risk. My understanding is that random extension is able to read and send somewhere almost all my data when I read my email, do online banking, etc.
Do I understand correctly the situation?
I use only very few extensions. If they're open source, then instead of installing them from the browser's store, I maintain them as AUR packages. [1]

That way I force myself to build them from source.

My habit is also to inspect the changes between upstream releases. It's mostly spot checks, but it's better than nothing.

I did try both Civet and Mongoose. We didn't have a good build / dependency system for C++ at the time, just CMake, so when I considered all the little libraries I'd have to learn and pull in like HTML templating, SQL, etc., while making sure my code was thread-safe, it looked like too much work.
I don’t get it either. Especially football. There’s like on average something like 11 minutes of actual gameplay and it takes like 3 hours to watch the whole game.
This is a multi-layer cell. It is effectively two solar cells laid on top of one another, and connected electrically in series - one to capture UV and blue/green light, and one to capture Red and IR light.

Doing that lets you get more energy out of the sunlight.

But critically, the mix of the two sets of colours really matters. The cell needs equal numbers of photons in each set, or efficiency drops rapidly. That means "red sky in the evening" will be a big problem for these cells.

One way to work around this is to have a grid of wires between the cells, allowing you to take out or inject current between the cells. You would need a specially designed inverter to be able to do this, but then your cell would be able to handle varying colors of daylight.
I’m not a sports guy. But I did go to a big ten college, and purchased season tickets as all my buddy’s were sports dudes. There is an energy in a stadium, like there are at concerts, some churches or when hearing someone you admire give a good speech. There is something primal in the moment that I feel is baked into the human experience to varying degrees in all of us. I haven’t been to a game since then, but I do remember them fondly (I was also drunk).
Yes I suppose I could have written it as a Lua plugin for Nginx. Or CGI.
I dont believe aws have ever said.

My long held suspicion is they designed the product slos/apis to allow for the underlying storage technology to change without customers being aware, hence its clearly inspired by tape access patterns.

Possibly some of the very largest aws regions use tape libraries.

But I suspect aws co-mingles the data with S3 and just wears the cost. They've been known to price below cost (eg lambda implementation before firecracker) to corner the market.
I don't accept that premise. I've certainly downloaded things that I also considered buying, but just didn't because of some small hurdle.
I learned a lot from it
Sounds like a failure of not enforcing a broken windows policy.
I’ve a feeling this truly ended with the iPod. No more iPods and Apple software quality is going downhill pretty fast :(
100% agree. "Hang Up, Look Up, Call Back" should be made into a jingle and absolutely hammered into the culture of, at this point, literally everyone (given all the scams that occur targeted both toward consumers and employees): https://krebsonsecurity.com/2020/04/when-in-doubt-hang-up-lo...
Our city banned single-use plastic bags. The result is you can have paper bags for 5 cents each, or you can buy re-usable plastic bags for $1-$2.50 each (usually tilted towards the higher end.) Nobody is forcing you to buy re-usable plastic, and it's expensive enough to dissuade people from buying too many.

BTW, the biggest outcome is that I use fewer bags in general, and just don't take a bag when I don't need one.
Not sure I understand. Taxes are due in April. You don’t get charged a year of interest on the amount you own when filing…
not my experience. Apps update automatically for most people so they are no different than web pages. You can turn off the updating and then in 2-3 months you'll get a message the app no longer works with whatever service it's tied to and you're required to upgrade.

On my desktop there might be a few apps that don't need to upgrade but on my phone, 90% of all apps are tied to a service. Uber/Lift, bank apps, apartment apps, hotel apps, bike rental apps, social media apps, dating apps, streaming music apps, video apps, etc.
But that's the thing though, does it lack support for any other open source groupware/email protocol? I see your point if that is the case
> With the whole App ecosystem, you only have 2 choices and you are at their mercy. Literally.

And if it's the two I'm thinking of, one of them is a customer-service black hole with a ban hammer, so overnight one could find oneself in the "beg the front page of HN for help" camp for any reason or no reason

I say prayers that the new sideloading thing for the EU will inspire similar calls here in the US, but also I'm super cognizant that such a thing would require a sufficient mass of folks who know or care what "walled garden" or "sideloading" mean :(
No, C++ header files contain definitions too, which are emitted into every object file where they're used. If it's something allowed to be multiply defined it's emitted as a "weak" symbol, and the linker eliminates duplicates.

This includes every inline function that's used, and many default-generated functions, such as default constructors & destructors and virtual function tables.

For a simple example, See https://godbolt.org/z/qhvaP8Eed and observe the Foo::Foo() constructor, which would be emitted in every .o file with the 'struct Foo' definition.
I agree. Another thing I really dislike about XCode is the error/warning messages – you stop typing and wait with bated breath for them to appear, only for them to be positioned over the very line of code you’re trying to debug and can no longer see.
Early stage startups are going to be a crapshoot and can take a number of years (maybe even 10) to pay off, if they do. I have no experience with late stage startups so maybe someone else can chime in. FAANG pays a high salary and RSUs so in terms of seeing your bank account grow over time I would say FAANG > early stage startup. As I said unclear about later stage where the path to IPO or big acquisition is clearer.
With axum, you also get access to tower ecosystem.
Google has been acting even stupider than usual lately, but snubbing JXL goes beyond stupidity - it's clearly malicious, it must be, otherwise I really can't even fathom the rationale behind such a moronic decision may ever be.
It's fair, but sorry, I should've been clearer... I wouldn't want to sit there and watch this on PPV either. Or stream esports from Twitch, for that matter.

It's not just the indoor/outdoor or introvert/extrovert thing. I think it's the idea of passive spectating (that you pay money for) that weirds me out. Even for the things I love, I'd much rather try to do it myself (however poorly) than pay money to watch someone else do it.

Am I just really unusual in that regard?
This article boils down to “demand exceeds supply so prices are going up.”

When Metallica came to Serbia first time in 2004, James Hetfield (frontman) asked the public who has "Kill em all" album. Entire public chanted yeeaaah while 95% or probably even more of people there had only pirated version. Serbia just went through very tough decade with international isolation and there weren't any original CDs to buy even if you had the money. But guess what, 30-40k people paid the ticket for that concert. Who would be there if we didn't listened to pirated albums?

But I'm not sure pirating music is the same as for movies or software as there's no tour at the end to reap the effects of "free" advertising.
> We'll point to something like this and say, "look at what this culture does that's positive!"

But surely the mistake there is in the second practice, not the first one.
I assume they're referring to streaming-only releases that never make it to home media, aren't popular enough to be seeded indefinitely, or that get removed quickly for a tax break -- e.g.: Disney+ removed Crater ~7 weeks after it was released, purely to reduce residuals and claim losses for lower tax bills[1].

I think you touched on a wider problem. Peoples shallow understanding of the world, translates to a shallow world view and policies. It's kind of scary to me how much my high school sociology class, group projects, became political policy decades later. Simplistic reductions, when in real life even unclogging a toilet can have complictated steps, nuanced decisions, and many caveats.
That's very interesting finding. I can see how people buy the reusable bags more frequently than might be originally though. I often forget that I brought my bags in from my car and have to mentally remember to keep a couple in my trunk for the times when I'm out shopping. To be honest, because I have a car, when I forget, I just forgo the bag entirely and load everything in my trunk anyways.

I've settled on using the catering bags from Panera because they

- come with catering orders anyway

- are incredibly heavy duty, I've used them dozens of times and they still are in great shape

- are very large

- usually just get trashed after the lunch

My workplace caters lunches once a week or so, and so there's been plenty of bags leftover at the end so...

edit a quick look on ebay shows that there's a secondary market for the bags where they go for around $10 each.
I have been writing software professionally for 15 years and I have never written a single line of code for an Apple device, and I never would. Contributing to the Apple ecosystem is a choice, no one is forced to do it. Any developer who contributes to the Apple ecosystem is taking an active part in the situation.

I will say tho, the base model trucks and just about any trucks aren’t made for work anymore. The boxes are like 6ft long as opposed to 10. The tow power on base models isn’t great. Work vehicles today are becoming more and more those vans. Not saying work trucks are obsolete, just they aren’t what they used to be.

You're free to use only extensions which are open source. So you can build them yourself, and also spot check changes in the code whenever there's a new upstream release.

Makes sense. 32x added some capabilities similar to Super FX to the system.

I read somewhere that the western release of the SNES could have had the Super FX chip on the motherboard but they chose to not do it for cost reasons. Not sure how much of that is true?
Honestly, half the time I am interviewing random contractors around the world. I get a feeling they use OpenAI to answer questions. I have thrown out the typical “leet hacker” bullshit questions and rote memorization type stuff. Gone back to simply quizzing them on their own resume, digging into the finer details of what they did. Can’t deep fake experience, yet.

The first part of your sentence sums it up.
You raise an important issue around persistence of state.

The question isn't whether you need to recompile source, change config
files, download application plugins or set-up a bunch of check-boxes
in a nice GUI.

It's whether you can trust those settings to stick.

I've lost count of people telling me that phone settings I suggested
simply "reverted" or somehow turned themselves back on/off.

Even some Linux distros that use Snap alongside auto-updates etc are
really quite sneaky.

But to my mind web browsers (and I include all of them, Chrome,
Firefox or whatever) are utterly treacherous.

Any careful security stance requires constantly checking and
re-checking that policies are still in effect.
And I hate Xcode as much as the next person, but that's not even getting into the dumpster fire of trying to have CI/CD pipelines for iOS or macOS artifacts. I am aware that both GitHub and GitLab are now offering macOS runners, and AWS has macOS instances, but it's still "not the same" and is one more innovation token to manage

There was a similar bug in the past in Rust: Integer overflow causing a buffer overflow:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/54399/commits/8ac88d3...

So the answer is: Not necessarily. I agree though that the memory safety features in Rust would help reduce the risk. On the other hand, one could also write safer C by abstracting away buffer management. The world is not black and white.
It is true about other formats, but those have been in browsers for a long time so by now we have patched most of the exploits.

WebP is one of the most recently added image formats, and it had zero day exploits as recently as 6 months ago.
> corporate security trainings

Have you ever actually done corporate security training? It's very obviously 100% useless and not going to teach anyone anything.

A company I worked for actually started sending test phishing campaigns which is a lot more effective, but I thought they were still pretty obvious and also it led to stupid people reporting them on Slack endlessly.

It's a huge social event with a shared interest, there's energy and excitement in the shared experience, and the emotional rollercoaster that games often can be. It does seem to speak to something tribal within us humans.

I'm not even a "sports guy" but going to games of most sports is often a lot of fun because it's about more than just the game.

When I was a know-it-all teen/young adult I had some of that "sportsball is dumb and for idiots" mentality but as I got older I grew out of that and appreciate the simple fun of it all. Plus it's easy small talk fodder.

More seriously, I don’t understand how anyone tolerates 5k line yaml files but I haven’t found any support for moving away from it at $bigcorp. Right now we use an undocumented shim layer between Helm and Argo for maximum inscrutable templating. It’s an endless footgun with the impact spread so thin it’s invisible to the business.

This is an overestimation of how much effort it takes to learn another language and stack, especially in a world with Google, Stack Overflow, and LLMs.
I have seen many of these posts now and I have a simple question. Why do we need special configuration languages? Why not just use existing languages?

I understand why data formats like JSON and YAML are valuable, and I understand why it would be valuable to use a programming language to automate the generation of such formatted data. But the niche of the configuration language remains mysterious to me.
For some reason, a lot of retailers around me in New York seem to only sell the "reusable" bags, with no option for paper. I don't know why, it's very annoying.

My other problem is I can't reuse paper bags as trash bags (because even a tiny amount of liquid will leak through). So now I have to buy plastic trash bags, which sucks because I do in fact care about the environment.
I'm sad that AppCode is being abandoned instead of updated for the new SwiftUI world.
