While I don't doubt there's some good thinking behind this, there just isn't nearly enough information for me to even begin to trust this. If I'm storing data which I might need again later I need to know, at minimum:

* Where is the data stored, and what's done to keep it safe
* How / why is it so cheap, and how can I be assured the business will keep going once I've loaded data into it
* What is my upload and access method? Is this S3 compatible, maybe something else?
* What sort of terms are we entering into, what's the companies support obligation to me if I need my data tomorrow and there's a problem?
* Do you have any existing customers, and if not why should I trust you with my data over AWS et al?

I'm sure there's some great thoughts about the business model, and probably a lot of hard work on the technical side. As a prospect customer though, I'm just seeing a price and a sign up button. It doesn't inspire any confidence to give over my email address, if anything it feels quite shady. This sort of information needs to be at my finger tips to form some level of trust.

I hope they're able to expand the information if it is a long term business venture. For all I know it could be amazing, unfortunately they're just not telling us why.
And yet here you are trying to spread an agenda in a thread about mouse pointers that taxes are too low because the majority of people are too stupid to understand tax brackets.
Well, it's not like I side with tech bros.

But tech bros seem to be the only ones that have an actual vision of the future.

MBA bros, Finance Bros, Academic Bros & Politics bros seem to have a very elitist static plan for the future. They seldom welcome nor foster any "disruption".

There is a misconception that scientific/academic community is a group for fostering new idea & allowing them to develop.

But what I learned was that scientific Communities are very conformist and often hostile to new ideas that wander far away from the grain. Almost every scientist I have studied has gone through a passage of ridicule.

Most recently, Katalin Kariko one whose work was instrumental in developing one of the COVID vaccines (mRNA). Listen to her short story here https://josephnoelwalker.com/147-katalin-kariko/ ( she also has published a biography you can read).

Anyways my concern is that alot of people complaining today are really spinless. It's fashionable to go after 'soft targets' like tech bros.

And be almost quite when it comes to people that are doing very serious blatant evil. We forget about XXX who uses NSO's software P*** to literary dismember innocent an innocent journalist with a bow saw.

But some how people don't complain about that. Our problem seems to be some guy that runs an app that allows people to watch twerk videos. And the bow saw entities are simply doing "cybersecurity"? And no one ever mentions or even knows the CEOs of companies that makes drones which bomb apartments occupied with innocent civilians?
An instance of the chicken-and-egg problem. No community - people don’t join; people don’t join - no community.
Declarations, not definitions. Declarations go into object files as symbol names for the purpose of linking. You can have multiple declarations as long as they are the same (or if they are not they define different things in C++ due to overloading), but you cannot have multiple definitions (even in different object files) even if they are identical (compiler doesn't bother checking they are, it sees it as fishy and just drops a "multiple definitions" error).

I lived 4 years in the Yukon, and it is impressively big with very, very few roads.

Even today, there are twice as many moose as people in the Yukon.

We would go on 10 canoe trips and not only not see other people, but not see evidence of people - no "campsites", no roads, no power lines, nothing. And that wasn't even remote by Yukon standards at all.
I don’t know if “not finishing what you start” is adhd or laziness. How do you know you solved something if you don’t implement it? For myself I have decades of evidence that show the first proof of concept I think of is always very different from the final product. It’s even more different when I’m working with a team.
This depends. Sometimes the reusable ones have so much more plastic, that you would need to use it a 100+ times to make it worth it, while at the same time, they last maybe 10, 20 uses, before the handle snaps or something.

I once had to setup an Apple developer account to have one of our municipality apps shown as ours. I'm not sure why that was considering all our other apps never needed that, but it was what it was. It was a pretty terrible experience. First I needed an Apple account, and since I didn't really want to use my private one, I needed to create one for work. I couldn't create an "organisation account" so it was tied to me. Luckily we had an old iPhone waiting to be thrown out, so I could use that. Then I had to wait for days to have Apple confirm who I was, but this was basically just Apple calling the person I had listed as my boss and then having him say yes. I hope they did more research than that, but I'm not sure they did, and the people who called us were even worse at English than us so it was hilarious to say the least.

Then we had to set up payments, because for some reason you need to pay money to have an Apple developer account. Whatever, in the budget of an entire city of 60.000 people, that's not even going to show up anywhere, right? Well... Since it's a foreign subscription and since Apple has no way of doing this as a B2B purchase that can be easily registered with our local tax agency, it had to go under yearly reviews. It was also only possible to pay with a credit card which again tied it to something the organisation would need an actual person to renew and since organisational credit cards are tied to people, and since people change jobs, and since you need to be in actual human contact with Apple to change owners... well you can imagine how much fun that was.

This was some years ago, so maybe things have changed, but out of any of our 300+ enterprise IT solutions that I ever worked with, Apple was the only one that was this horrible. To be fair, I'm a developer, I'm not sure how I ended up with the task and maybe these things are simply more common in the operations side of IT than I know.
It’s eternally expensive as they extract more and more money from the developers in new ways too. Building those APIs and tooling is never paid off because there’s enough unpaid evangelists socially guilting you into paying for it. We should be so lucky that Apple extracts billions every year and says when and where to stop and go.
> They inevitably enter a rebellious phase

Adolescents have a biological inclination to distance themselves from their parents. But in cultures that properly isolate and ostracize non-conformists and trouble makers, you don’t necessarily have a “rebellious” phase. (Some undoubtedly do, most don’t.)
That seems reasonable to me!
I'd like to add to your post.

> The program headers don't state the location of .text, but indicate the area of the file that should be mapped into memory.

Specifically, the PT_LOAD segment does that. Other segments are used for other purposes. Linkers generally don't generate ELFs with PT_LOAD segments covering the section header table but one could patch the ELF so that the last PT_LOAD segment covers the table or even the entire file. That way the location of the .text section becomes reachable to the running program via the section header table.

There's also this surprisingly useful PT_NULL segment type. They're essentially just placeholders with undefined program header structure contents. Excellent targets for patching. Scripting the linker to output these segments proved to be quite difficult so I just asked for a linker command line option instead. LLVM and GNU ld weren't interested but mold quickly added this feature.

A PT_NULL segment allows patching in a PT_LOAD segment for any data or metadata the programmer needs. It's also possible to create custom segments just like GNU did since there's a truly massive numeric range reserved just for that. These two facts enable some really cool stuff:

https://www.matheusmoreira.com/articles/self-contained-lone-...

> The alignment of PT_LOAD segments must be at least the page size: the kernel or loader will use mmap to map the file, so alignments smaller than the page size won't work.

In addition to that, they must also be sorted! For some weird reason, PT_LOAD segments cannot be in arbitrary order even if they don't overlap.

Violating these requirements causes some truly excruciating crashes. The executable would somehow segfault before a single instruction executed. This uber segfault brought the likes of GDB to its knees and I was reduced to pasting readelf output on stackoverflow.

Lol. Have you ever used Android Studio IDE?

Don’t even get me started on opening up your app 6 months later to update the code and it’s a 99% chance some Android gradle build system or dependency has changed and broken the build…

But why do some other American elite capitalists seem so determined to try to put him in his place?

It’s unfortunate but I hope everyone understands this was not about the employee it was about thinning a head count or slashing a labour budget in some spreadsheet on some executives computer. Everyone else plays along because they don’t want to be next.

Early on, I made the choice to not to invest in learning native mobile development. I focused all my limited time on the web, and I think that, for once, I made the right choice.

Today, one can build amazing stuff for the browser. And, in my very humble opinion, the vast majority of apps should've been WebApps — except for maybe Uber, Google Drive, and games.

I worked in the journalism business, and, in my country, the early 10s were filled with media outlets spending so much of the little money they had to build mobile apps.

I was the sore thumb that rejected such trend.

I knew very well that the quality of most of these apps would be questionable at best. And of course these companies won't be investing regularly in updating their mobile fronts.

And that's exactly what happened: they're stuck with apps that are barely maintained, most of which looking like ancient artifacts from a bygone era. Because that's what they are.
Plastic bags bans work at banning plastic bags, granted. But banning plastic bags is not an end to itself, and is pointless if the end result is not reduced plastic pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Ideally, those reductions would be commensurate with the effort involved in the ban, compared to other actions you could take with the same costs. I note this article doesn't say anything about the actual impact. It's consistent with the hypothesis that we banned plastic bags as a token gesture, because we mistake movement for progress, and now we're patting ourselves on the back while nothing is actually improved.
a reasonable outlook on reality.

In Sanskrit literature, a term often used when describing heroes like Rama and Arjuna is jitakrodha, “one who has conquered his anger”. The idea is for you to be in control of your anger, rather than for anger to control you. Rather than anger arising in response to external circumstances and causing you to be carried away and doing things you may regret later, instead anger should be a tool, something you invoke or bring on, when you consciously decide that you need to do battle (or something requiring that energy) — like fire (something anger is frequently compared to), it is dangerous and destructive but a useful tool when one employs it deliberately.
That is what you said… tools don’t matter enough to make you quit the job, and considering the language used in the previous comment, it seems far enough from your top priority that it likely never will. Hence a minor quibble in relative terms as it has almost no impact on your final decision to stay or leave.
There really is nothing like the web. Having spanned the gamut of native development, I can say confidently give me my HTML and CSS any day of the week. Concerns about framework churn and build system complications are nothing in the face of dealing with a locked down platform that simply will not allow you to do something you want to do.
Yes, there's definitely a cost of introducing Rust to an existing project. But there are a ton of projects that could also benefit greatly from it, such that it'd be a net benefit even in the short term, and a huge benefit in the long term. I'm not advocating for people to blindly add it to their project.

I think it’s interesting that rye uses ruff (https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff) for linting and formatting. That’s the right call, and it’s also correct to bundle that in for an integrated dev experience.

I had to guess, that’s the path that the Astral team would take as well - expand ruff’s capabilities so it can do everything a Python developer needs. So the vision that Armin is describing here might be achieved by ruff eventually. They’d have an advantage that they’re not a single person maintenance team, but the disadvantage of needing to show a return to their investors.
100% agree. For me the cringe is that this belief is often used to justify ridiculous work place demands. What, you don’t want to work 60 plus hours a week for another month?

You are not defined by how “useful” you are to your job.
Sometimes, we forget how open the original web/www was and even today, how open it is overall compared to the "app ecosystem" monopolized by Apple and Google. Yes, there is "cloud" but nothing stops me from renting a server and hosting my own stuff. That didn't work out ? Np. Get it out of there and rent another one. Yes it may have "lock in" and not that easy but it's not impossible.

With the whole App ecosystem, you only have 2 choices and you are at their mercy. Literally.

I personally would never build an entire business around an "app". Never. I may have an app as a small supplement if at all and that too if my audience really demands it. I hate products that force an app on me when I am on a mobile device. No Thanks. Heck, bring back the whole m.website.com thing but I prefer to avoid the whole app ecosystem.
EV production is set to rise in Germany by 20% according to the same report.

Presumably they make more money selling them in countries with subsidies, leaving the home market which abruptly yanked subsidies a bit like Australia which for years just didn't get any EVs to sell as brands could sell their limited supply more easily in other countries and get various benefits for doing so.

The country with enough production to ship then anyway is China and they look set to sweep the Australian market over the coming years.
I'm amused at how upset people seem to be about being asked to sign up and pay for this service. I don't remember seeing comments like this on other launch threads on HN.

Sign up for free, try it for...not free. Go fuck yourself!

I’m glad you have the pricing clear in the front page so I won’t use it, unlike another similar service I tried that after wasting my time generating logos with prompts and details only to ask me to pay to download it..

My prediction. You won't survive a month with this kind of behaviour. ... Milking money out of people is outdated and obsolete approach.

After all the work I had sketching a penis I got hit with the paywall without even seeing a single result

So, I just logged in and there is no free plan at all to try your service as well as no way to delete my profile.

I went through the trouble of signing up, drew my sketch and prompt, clicked "generate" and it just sends me to a pricing page with minimum spend $20/month
Come on, just let us try the damn thing one or two times - nobody's actually going to be satisfied with the first logo they generate, so it's not like you lose the sale.

I think you need to give us the ability to test the creation of the logos before signing up. Maybe ask for payment later on when the user wants to download the logo?

I didn’t even get to see it work before being hit with a pay link.

I don’t really want to sign up before playing with it, maybe you can find another way to achieve your goal?
It's a funny thought, but I don't think there's any reason it shouldn't work; IIRC redoxos is providing a libc written in rust for compatibility.
> (...) and it gives us the energy and courage to do what must be done.

I don't think that's true. Anger, by definition, is a primal/emotional response that leads people to act abruptly without any semblance of reflection on the potential impact of their actions.

The expressions "acted in anger" does not mean "acted with courage to do what needed to be done". It actually means someone screwed up badly without thinking things through.
It's amazing how far that can take you. I saw a post on another social media site about something being wrong, and a comment said it's not wrong, it was just missing a "not". Which was the exact reason it was entirely wrong.

So people can state absolute absurdities and have people agree.

In my country, single use plastic bags were replaced with thicker reusable plastic bags that many people discard after a single use. So the total volume of produced/discarded plastic probably increased despite the number of bags used probably going down.
