How do you reconcile this claim regarding Apple’s intent to crush web apps with their increased investment in supporting PWAs over the last four years up to and including the upcoming Safari release and recruiting top talent such as Jen Simmons to achieve this?

If I were aiming to prevent web apps from competing with my App Store, I wouldn’t be telling a bunch of highly paid engineers to directly work against that goal, much less be recruiting celebrity engineers at a premium and contributing to and creating specs that help web apps provide a more native-like experience.

I'm not sure about that though. Ready to wear clothing is obviously inferior to tailored clothes, and it's not clear to what extent it's actually cheaper, and how much it abuses cheap labor. There may be an optimal scale for everything, and you start losing once you exceed it.
There were no ex-Twitter employees involved in Threads at the time it launched. AFAICT, it was a frontend over a pared-down Instagram comment-system.

Designing something like Twitter isn't hard, and it used to be a pretty common design question that could be answered in 30 minutes or less. Instagram certainly doesn't need outside help to help scale stuff, let alone people specifically from Twitter.

Well Temperaments (Part 5)
Yet Apple dares to ship a laptop with 8gb ram that is not upgradable. RAM is dirt cheap but somehow the market abusers make it look like it's some expensive rare resource.

Even Thinkpads now solder ram to sell you a +16GB upgrade for 100usd (6usd per gb, double the market price).

I find that being guaranteed to have only structured control flow, and having loops and if-else constructs marked as such in advance could also simplify a AOT-compiler a little.

If you're doing liveness analysis, you wouldn't have to first deduce which edges are unstructured jumps and which are loop edges.
If you're trying to find more opportunities for if-conversion, you wouldn't have to first deduce which edges those are.

Cool! Why you gotta tease me like this without busting out a one liner? :)

Gemini disagrees with you btw:

Unfortunately, directly combining git shallow clone and git partial checkout to grab just one specific file isn't straightforward. Here's why:

Shallow clone: This limits the downloaded commit history to a specific depth, but it still fetches all files involved in those commits. While reducing data, it wouldn't restrict files solely based on your needs.

Partial checkout: This lets you specify which files to include in your working directory, but it requires a full clone initially.

However, you have a few alternative approaches to achieve your goal:

1. Shallow clone + Sparse checkout:

Use git clone --depth=<commit_depth> --single-branch=<branch> to shallow clone the specific branch and limit history.
Create a .git/info/sparse-checkout file containing only the path to the desired file.
Run git read-tree -u to update the index based on the sparse-checkout file.
This method downloads a limited history and only keeps the specified file in your working directory.

2. Partial clone with server support (limited availability):

Check if the server supports partial clones (currently implemented on Github and some Gitlab self-hosted instances).

Use git clone --filter=blob:none <url> for a "blobless" clone that only contains file content, no history or directory structure.

Add the desired file path to the .git/info/sparse-checkout file and run git read-tree -u as before.

This approach minimizes downloaded data but requires server support and won't work everywhere.
> I just feel like there are more constructive ways to waste time

From my own experience, working on "silly" projects like this, with severe artificial constraints for example, can be quite interesting and challenging and lead to lessons learned that can be applied to real projects later.

So for the author, it might have been quite constructive indeed.
(I'm using wrong terminology) It works because if there is no entry for *.domain.com the system will go one level up, to domain.com for the MX records.

It even works multi-level, like x.y.domain.com will use the MX records of domain.com (provided there are none for x & y).

This is worth mentioning as x.y.domain.com does not work if you have a *.domain.com SSL certificate.
Ok I’ve got a hacker challenge for the more creatively-inclined: if I wanted to stretch “cross platform” to web (and thus webVR?), how might I wrap/integrate/emulate/polyfill/whatever this?

EDIT: after a quick search the answer is a resounding “you can do it, but yikes.” Multiple people reference custom compilers, which I’m guessing are beyond my reach…

Coming soon (roadmap):

Oculus (VR) (we have the hardware to test)

WebGL (FPC can compile to WebAssembly)

XBox (we have the hardware to test).

Apple uses RAM and storage as price discrimination feature. And it also wants entry level machines so they can say “starting from …” It has nothing to do with the price of the memory itself. It is merely a factor that people are willing to pay for.
In today's world, all carriers no matter whether US, Chinese or British are as obsolete as all battleships were in 1941. And like the battleships of 1941, today's carriers have a very short life left to live.

Call it coincidence but the British battleship 'Prince of Wales' and the British carrier 'Prince of Wales' are destined to be twin harbingers of obsolescence.

Depends on whether you can trust them. If someone at the top of the invite tree gets hacked or starts shitposting, it doesn't really imply anything about the people they invited, they're all probably innocent users. If they turn out to be a spammer though? Then you can't trust anyone they invited. Any false positive should be handled on a case-by-case basis or reinvited by someone else who is trusted and is willing to vouch for them.

> American culture is obsessed with ancient Greece and its stories.

Because it’s so damned cool. I’ll never understand how Abrahamic religions won the “war” over Greek/Roman gods. Plus a pantheon makes sense - trying to explain away babies born with cancer is pretty hard in Abrahamic religions. Not so much when you have various gods that don’t really care about you and just do their own thing.

This. Beowulf has near nothing to do with the Western Civilization. The Anglosphere it's delusional, sorry. It's was all about either Greek or Roman legacy. Or maybe, Don Quixote, shaping up the Modern Western civilization by making fun on the old Medieval farts (Don Quixote) against the more pragmatical and non-brainwashed Enlightenment era common folk people (Sancho Panza).

Even Lazarillo from Tormes has a more caustic and Western shaping anti-epic than Beowulf, as it depicts a cynical and treacherous society where even the old literal blind outsmarts the rogue kid.

This is all cool, but after first reading the article I got the feeling that the whole world is affected by this, no matter the location which doesn't make sense. In the Scandinavian countries (Sweeden, Finland, etc.) there weren't any Nuclear tests or detonations. I imagine most of steel there should be Low -background even today. Or am I missing something?
I don't see any requests to any analytics or Google Tagmanager, actually the only requests I see when opening a post are to the `news.ycombinator.com` domains to fetch the document itself, a CSS file, a JS file, an image and a couple of SVGs, nothing else.

If you see requests outside of that there's something fishy going on in your browser, I believe.

I suspect a good way to omit yourself from data collection would be to include something that looks like PII at the beginning and end of every conversation.

Tailored vs ready-made is a rounding error in the economies of scale involved in making clothes - both will use factory made fabric, dyed with factory dyes, woven from factory thread, made from factory farm cotton, grown from factory fertilizer, made from massive scale fracked natural gas, produced with millions of tonnes of factory steel, mined from factory mines..

The economies of scale that put food on your table and mine and clothe our kids - for all the horrors - will not be replaced by artisans doing small batch t-shirts from yard-grown cotton using hand made tools.
Fascist ideology, or goal is that we should be governed by a hierarchical power-structure not elected by democratic elections.

I believe most crime gangs fit that description.

On the other side groups who explicitly identify themselves as Fascist or Neo-Nazi etc. don't really differ from criminal gangs much. They have similar goals: Rule by the Boss, not restricted by any laws or elections.
Seems like it wouldn't. In the OP post, Gemini was able to reason about that codebase through the _text_. For example, comments and function names. It doesn't really understand the code. So binary code would be gibberish to it.

They're basically openly calling their userbase idiots to increase the profit margin by 20usd on a 1,500++ usd device. Incredible how we got to this state where the RAM market quality in consumer devices is quickly degrading because of corporate greed not because of any market or technical challenge.
Maybe it's not the growth of a community which really causes decline in quality but where the growth comes from. Folks that come because they saw a discussion link in a git message or startup conversation are likely to have very different interactions than folks that come from search engine or social media share.if 100k users showed up tomorrow from the former category would quality here really go down?

I agree it probably doesn't make sense to try to block growth sources though. Just considering the perspective "it's not effective to try to play whack a mole anyways" already seems enough evidence of that alone.

All this reminds me though I've been using the site too much lately and my interaction quality has gone down. Time for another short break :).

Yeah, I agree. I think most absolutist rejections of copyright and intellectual property are, at their core, a reaction against attempts to prevent piracy the person wants to engage in. Maybe mixed in with some misplaced Free Software idealism (that ignores stuff like the fact that copyright is the literal foundation of Free Software).
Spotify's distinguishing feature is not "using Electron". Same for all of the other apps you mentioned.

Chrome's distinguishing feature is "not being Safari or Firefox". It has this distinguishing feature on all other platforms like Linux, Mac, Android and Windows. Only on one platform is this feature missing, and that is why it is emphasized so much.
If you have real numbers instead of integers, then it implies fractional applications of the arithmetic operators. Fractional negation is complex rotation, so if you have negative numbers and they are non-integers then it necessarily must also include complex numbers.

The tricky thing in the case of DNA is, if your relatives were to do a 23andMe, then they inevitably also give away large parts of your DNA. They tracked down the Golden State Killer merely by matching the DNA of a relative. It's a dilemma between one's right to privacy and another one's autonomy.
You miss the parent's point. Uber might care about their customers, but they don't give a toss about other aspects such as fraud, the local labor rules or local laws etc. They try to dodge it as much as possible. And that is a problem if they are a near monopoly and market leader because they are the market.
Logging: What, Why and When
I think you will find the UN position on geo-engineering is quite simple:

1) It will work. Not just the technique suggested above, but a lot of of them.

2) That's bad: it will "normalise" dumping CO2 into the atmosphere and take away power from the climate organisations of the UN, including UNEP.

3) They want it outlawed. Why? Because geoengineering can be so effective that a single decent-size city can counteract all or a significant portion of all global warming.

4) They warn that this will produce large scale unintended consequences. Such as stopping water supplies that depend on glacial melting (and for the first X years (decades?) will actually almost entirely stop glacial melting, which "may" make places like California, the Indus valley and most of inner Mongolia, maybe all of inner China, unliveable. Also it will probably start expanding the sahara again (due to climate change it's shrinking now), which will also destroy communities)

(why? It is not possible to pump large amounts water either upwards, or along long distances. We don't have the power for that. So even if you collect the water desalinated, it can't be used to make those places liveable for anywhere the amounts of people currently living there)
