Nah, you need a location; it's right there in the name "local" which implies time at a place. Saying "local time" alone doesn't always give sufficient detail in your example, because you want the device to be able to change it's location (its timekeeping context) while maintaining awareness of the difference between the device's local time and the local time of the thing you've recorded.

"Local time" is basically never "good enough", actually. At a minimum, a time as you've described should include:

- a location where you're tracking the local time

- the destination local time at that location, from which you can derive most of the timekeeping context (time zone), usually

- the current time of the thing doing the computation, in order to accurately compare device to destination time

You then use those to get a UTC time that you can use to do things like a countdown. Or you can just make assumptions about those things and accept they'll be wrong; that's allowed but it's not usually what users want given we KNOW how to give them what they want.
> The government and its voters.

Do they operate in an ideal state of perfect knowledge or have they possibly been influenced by the billions spent by fossil fuel companies trying to deny or minimize the problem, and massively overstate the economic cost of reducing carbon emissions? By all means, hold people accountable for bad decisions but also recognize that they’re not making those decisions in a vacuum. If you think the carbon tax is low, start your blame with the people who strenuously opposed it more than the people who got you the current tax.
Copilot has many fans, and for many, the ability to use Copilot is more important than all the other "batteries-included" features. It's not for me or anyone else to judge. Everyone should make their own choices.

Regarding plugins, I'm with Helix from the beginning, i have read everything, and I understand the motivation well and can accept it. Perhaps this is what the ideal editor looks like for creators, but it definitely doesn't look like the ideal editor for me. I respect their decision, but I'm sticking with Neovim and might switch to ZED when Linux support becomes available.

There is also insatiable demand for nuclear weapons, but if a private company from the US started selling them to random dictatorships, yes, I would blame them.
In another thread about Apple's compliance with the DMA, people were arguing that the locked down nature is why they bought from Apple. They believe it's beneficial.

I guess it's the same kind of person who, in other circumstances, might prefer an authoritarian government that would restrict their rights (e.g. women who are against women having the right to vote); they genuinely want it because they think it produces better outcomes than something totally free, and they don't value their own freedoms as much as someone more independent and libertarian would.
Train systems require heavy government investment until they can (maybe) produce any profit. But the same is true for other transportation systems: the auto industry is also heavily subsidized at all levels in the US, you just don't hear the numbers.

As someone that's gone through IVF, I don't feel I really disagree with this ruling as a whole. Sure, they aren't children yet, but wrongful death still fits. For those that don't know, IVF is an arduous (and expensive) process and many couples are lucky to get one good embryo out of it. Luckily, we got more than that. Sooner is better than later as well, as far as the couple's age goes.

If our frozen embryos were destroyed due to negligence I'd be pissed as hell - and of course, our wonderful daughter wouldn't be in our lives with another hopefully to be delivered in a couple of months.
Oh it’s certainly looking like that IMO depending on your use case for docker

You can run wasm in k8s: https://krustlet.dev/

Docker itself can run wasm: https://wasmlabs.dev/articles/docker-without-containers/

There are a few serverless runtimes based on wasm: https://wasmcloud.com/

A lot of those are powered by wasmtime or WasmEdge.

If you’re wanting to be able to just pull down a random app and run it as wasm, that’s inherently harder with wasm, because you have to recompile, and amazing compiling stuff is always harder than it should be. For example I compiled jq to wasm to other day, so you dont have to worry (as much) about the CVEs that was issued recently. https://github.com/rockwotj/jq-wasi
Agree. A magnificent example of craft will make make you curious about how it was done, while a correspondingly magnificent example of art will make you curious about why it was done.

An AI-generated work is mainly if not categorically a prompt for "how" questions, as its can-kicking answer to "why" is built right into the first letter of the initialism: because a human wanted it.

The real answer to why is pursued from that point up into its usual unnavigable headwaters, with a few extra twists concerning the question of whether the word artificial itself will turn out to be merely another diguise of the anthropic principle.
I'm into cyber security as a hobby....and one thing has always confused me regarding these breaches.

Lots of these things are sold on the dark web and they might release snippet samples to get a buyer but my understanding is that unlike the old days of hacking....they normally don't release the entire stolen content unless they really believe in totally free data, or they have some massive gripe with the company.

Normally only those who paid get access and iirc the guy who got into the 23&me company wanted like a shitload of money for the entire dataset which was massive. I heard the entire data was somewhere between 20 and 50 terabytes but I could have wread an estimate.
> History has shown time and time again that pretty much any technological innovation is a net good

Technology can be used for good or ill. IBMs counting machines made accountants lives easier but also made the Nazi death camps more efficient. See also lead in gas, DDT, nerve gas, CFCs PFAS etc etc. You can argue that gaining more knowledge has proved beneficial but not every advancement or advanced product is guaranteed to be a net good. Some developments, like the Nobel Prize winning DDT, were praised as amazing advancements in their day only to have catastrophic unseen effects later.
I think having cognitive complexity indicators are great. Many devs don’t think about that so having the visibility reminder is good on average. However it should not be blocking in any manner and it’s silly to drive a rewrite based on it. Engineering leaders should understand the architecture at a visceral level, know good patterns/design, and suggest refactors without static analysis tools.
The point of the popups started out as smokescreen for continuing behaviours illegal under GDPR

The way most of them are designed is in fact illegal.

For reference, every time a popup claims consent for "legitimate purposes" for some 3rd party? That's flat out illegal - actual legitimate purposes need no consent... and also can't be shared with third parties like this.
Yes, there are physical limits but they are so far off from human pov that they don't matter much.

For example information communication rate that humans can perform (read or write) compared to what computers can do.

Same with information storage, retrieval, precision, computation rate etc.
The MCU was the height of films because it managed to wrangle more than half-a-century of comic book lore (much of it previously deemed unfilmable) into a coherent and compelling multi-film epic that was both entertaining and (lightly) philosphical and political. Through Endgame, it was an unprecedented undertaking involving the hard work of tens (hundreds?) of thousands of talented artists and technicians across the globe, marshalling untold resources over the span of a decade. And they actually pulled it off, producing a series of critical and commercial blockbusters that form (more or less) a single, sprawling narrative. It's unlikely we'll ever see anything like it again in our lifetimes.

The day when the project would lose its luster was always coming - as anyone who knows the history of Hollywood westerns and action flicks and blaxploitation could tell you - and you may gloat now that it's arrived. However, for a shining moment, literally billions of people had something special to share, and no amount of elitist posturing can take away from it.

(Citizen Kane's cool, too, of course. Gave us that clap meme and a baller Simpson's episode.)

> which would unlock 3x utility of existing fleet via owners lending their car to rideshare

I still don't understand why anyone ever thought that was going to happen. Even if the autonomy were there, who was really going to use their car for rideshare when they didn't need it themselves? I know some people thought it would bring them a lot of value, because that's what Elon promised. But the reality would have been a classic race-to-the-bottom, and they'd have been lucky to break even after accounting for wear and tear.
I just love it when courts and legislatures in my home country declare that they would have been ok with seeing me dead because the fetus I dearly wanted implanted itself somewhere that would have killed me had I not gotten prompt, objective medical attention.
This reminds me a bit of the thing I started doing years ago, tweaked to my liking and never looked back -- and I'm just now thinking "Wow, it's weird that no one has made this better in a more formal way."

Anyway, its S5 slides, like this:

And I just tweaked the CSS and added a bit of logic to included the possibility of one image per slide; as well as editing slides not with raw HTML but with https://zim-wiki.org (because that's what I'm really used to, I'm sure any Markdown thing would work just as well).
For Ukraine's defence industry goals against Russia, the sky's the limit
How is tipping upfront any way related to the above definition?

It’s not. Then again, few people would disagree with the usage above. Why is this so important to you that it’s worth being pedantic? Do you find the wording of the comment confusing?
>> I think you need to come to terms with the fact that in some places, realistically, no amount of external influence will cause democracy to exist.

I have long ago come to terms with that.

That conclusion does NOT mean that we need to support those authoritarian regimes (except possibly for tactical advantage when necessary). This is especially true when the major authoritarian regimes are already waging war against the democracies because international rule of law threatens their kleptocracies. In case you doubt it, Putin's own Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov specifically use the word "war" in describing Russia's actions against the West. Specifically:

“A special military operation began against Ukraine. Over time, it took the form of a war against the collective West. This is a war when the countries of the collective West, led by the United States, are directly involved in the conflict." [via Google Translate]

Of course Russia is allied strongly with Iran and North Korea, and being aided by China and others. Just because any particular authoritarian state does not join the alliance any particular week, does not mean we should be supporting them.

Plus, as someone else pointed out, if he's going to spend $7 TRILLION, the initial conditions of the location hardly matter. There are plenty of countries which would better benefit and be more cooperative. But obviously doing synergistic or even incidental good for others does not figure into these wannabe-tycoons' plans.

A lot of Chinese money just goes to zombie SOEs, but are really funding some official’s villa and foreign education for their kid. Chinese money can be just as dumb as American money. There were a ton of scammy EV companies selling basically golf carts when China first started subsidizing EV development and sales. It took around half a decade to get rid of those.

You have some good points but this is false. The probability of any point for a continuous distribution is indeed zero. That doesn't mean that the density at this point is also zero.
Ask HN: Best resources to learn more about PDFs?
I'm looking to learn more about the PDF standard and how PDFs work from an engineering standpoint. I'd appreciate any recommendations.
Yeah, well

It is, on paper a private company

But you need to understand this is China. BYD is extremely heavily subsidized by the Chinese government. For example, this 2016 article https://www.forbes.com/sites/mclifford/2016/07/26/with-a-lit... mentions

> In the five years ending December 31, 2015, the company reported receiving a total of 2.9 billion yuan ($435 million) in government support.

and that's just the reported support, there are tricks the government can play with for example labor costs, transferring R&D and so forth.

I owned and ran my own email domain for a long time. Initially on my own hardware for fun, then a VPS, then GSuite, then Fastmail. That's over around 20 years.

So, it wasn't planned - it evolved. Somewhere in the Fastmail era I was reading their docs around wildcarding and thought I'd try it out.

My primary domain is my name though, so for extra privacy (anality) I bought another that has no link to me in the name.

There are still gaps in it. e.g. any merchant site still needs my physical address, and plenty need my cell number. But, generally, it's just an attempt to minimize a digital footprint and see what privacy I can get.

That and just why not? I self-host enough stuff, that I see this as another aspect of the same mentality - having a little more control.

It's not perfect security, it's not completely clean. Hopefully it's enough to get me out of the easy target bucket though.
Returns are priced in. They are exactly as easy as they need to be to maximize the profit.
This is a weird one - while normally the Alabama Supreme Court ruling on what is or isn't Children would get solidly binned in the "culture war" bucket, this feels more like a weird legal system workaround like the river being granted personhood - the case came from a couple trying to sue a fertility clinic because their embryos were destroyed by some incredibly, incredibly negligent shit on the part of the facility. I'm guessing "Wrongful Death" was the only way the couple could show sufficient harm for standing in the case, and the facility argued it couldn't apply because embryos weren't actually children, so the ruling here is most likely intended to let the couple sue the facility. I'm not even sure I oppose it - for the couple, this may well have been their last chance to have kids, so I imagine the distinction for them between this and, say, a gynecologist's negligence leading to the same result is soft.

That said, again, I get why people would maybe read more into this, and precedence is a helluva drug.
My favourite meta-talk post is Zach Holman's 'The Talk on Talks'. https://zachholman.com/talk/the-talk-on-talks/ It covers some of the same basic design territory but also touches on delivery, Q&A, etc.
What‘s the point of making a biologically good decision? That would be a really stupid thing to do. Maybe it‘s a good decision in terms of subjective well being (don‘t know, but pit‘s possible) or for society (quite the opposite I think, but maybe a good argument can be made) but why would you base your decision on what your genes „want“?
No sympathy. I worked in the industry and loathed my time there. Leaving was a blessing.

The entertainment industry is filled with some of the most insufferable people in the world and now we have technology that will change it forever.

Knocking some of the wind out of the egos that fill the LA basin will go a long way to getting out of the creative dulldrum we've had for the past decade.
Looking from outside the US and basing my opinion on news, movies and comments in forums like these, I see there is an enormous conformist push from all levels of society (school, work, religion, military, gangs, culture, politics), much more so than in most other western countries.
Granted, that could be just my impression due to prevalence of US culture on the internet and in every day life, and all countries (western and other) might have similar levels of conformist push but it is the US that prides itself on individualism so the level of conformity just stands out more.
This argument doesn't hold up to any scrutiny if you try to apply it to any other kind of portable software.

Spotify is a music player that uses the Electron framework and it doesn't run on iOS.

Outlook is a email client that uses the WinUI engine and it doesn't run on iOS.

Netflix is an applet that runs on the Microsoft Silverlight engine, and that doesn't run on iOS.

There is something that feels wrong about Apple's restrictions for browsers but different platform necessitating different, often fundamentally different, implementations isn't quite it.
I have mixed feelings about this, particularly.

"With Nix, there is a free way to build a deterministic, exquisitely organized warehouse for managing your entire software stack."

I have had clients, especially with monorepos, that force one golden image organization wide.

This is absolutely not the correct approach. When I was helping a company move to M1 macs, when Apple killed the Intel based skus, I had fonts, where the tests in compiling them would hard reset the laptop.

But getting half a dozen teams to update the package to one that would compile was just as painful as any monolith.

It is fine to use Nix for reproducibility, but don't enforce an enterprise wide monolithic configuration.

Unfortunately the intersection of security policies and team independence results in this pattern arising organically.

It is probably best to offer this as an optional tool to avoid those issues. But provide guidance from accidentally recreating the same problem.

The python 3 isn't probably the best example as companies had over a decade to migrate. I personally migrates dozens of open source projects, almost always with the built in tools with some tests and reformating to match the projects coding style. Only once did that take me more than an afternoon per project.

"Your Content," not "your content." It is legalese jargon, defined as: "Content created with or submitted to the Services by you or through your Account"

And: "By submitting Your Content to the Services, you represent and warrant that you have all rights, power, and authority necessary to grant the rights to Your Content"

Of course, how many people posting memes on Reddit have the rights to do so? How many know they're in violation of the user agreement in doing so, hah.
This was my thinking here - yes, it has flaws in the approach, but it also gets me out of the main buckets that spammers will hit, and ad brokers will generally be selling.

It's a little friction, that maybe goes a long way. Pretty hard to actually evaluate though. Gives me the warm and fuzzies and I got to play around setting it up, so all good there.
My 0.02$: For something as deeply embedded and controversial as CSV this won’t work. I say this because I’ve been watching the battle since the 1990s. CSV has a lot of problems, but it is only an issue if you try to make it do too much. For a current example look at JSON. The original BNR grammar fit on the back of a business card. It has major issues too. Yet it hasn’t successfully been replaced or augmented without creating even worse problems, like compatibility. Putting lipstick on a pig, like this suggestion for CSV, just creates incompatibility and even more headaches.
Having tried both with Neovim, I ended up going with just LSPs instead of using tree-sitter.
> It's just so socially unusual to record phone calls.

Is it? I can not remember the last time I called some business where I did not get a “this call may be monitored or recorded for quality and training purposes…”. whatever perceived social hangups the company had they got over them and you don’t even need to ask in a 2PC jurisdiction, it’s already taken care of, just record the call.
I might have enjoyed an English class from this teacher. They understate the work when they say "double" the work for the way they grade; I seldom had any substantive comments on papers returned to me, and rarely did I have even an inkling of why one paper would receive a better grade then another.

The most extreme example was when I got a paper back with a 56% and the only comment was "Great Job! Almost an A paper"
KYC effectively means that if you don't own property and don't pay rent, then you're not a full legal person. You need an address, and a cheap P.O. box won't cut it. Need to live in your car? Want to live in your RV or boat? Planning on selling everything and backpacking around? Good luck registering for a driver's license or a checking account.
I'm not sure it's fair to criticise a company that puts it's secret sauce open source under a very liberal license for not spending more resources on writing free docs as their main priority. The growing community very quickly took up on that one and the docs got very good fast.

In 2022, it seemed like every Asian American raved about how good the movie is, just like when Crazy Rich Asians came out in 2018. I believe I'm in the target demographic for Everything Everywhere All at Once.

I fell asleep halfway through the movie and I tried my best to stay awake, even after my friends woke me up. The most interesting parts of the movie existed in the real-world plot but the movie kept running away from it. Even then, all universes (real-world included) had cringe-worthy levels of cliché metanarrative. It was a chore to make it to the end.

It's even worse that any criticism of the movie was actively shut down and nothing negative about it could be found online. If you did find a shred of criticism, viewers either accused you of ignorance, unappreciative of art, or racism.

I liked the actors playing the parents. I thought Stephanie Hsu and Ke Huy Quan were good in the real-life scenes.
