Ok, but then we are talking about social engineering, and not a technical matter. Social engineering works no matter what the platform is. The caller could have convinced him to give him banking TAN numbers, or send them money etc.

And when it comes to malware it's easier for those attackers to have the malware App on the Google Play store, as this way it's much easier to convince the user to install it...

A friend of mine recently suddenly had someone drawing money from her account using an ATM that was 200 km away while she was shopping with her card. I had a look at her Android phone - nothing Sideloaded on it, they simply appear to have used a fake banking website to make her create a new card without her seeing it.

Long story short: I believe that people need to be taught on how to detect social engineering attempts. And kids should be trained on this in school already.
Your last point really resonated on the Django example for RequestContext - the entire point of using a framework is taking advantage of the set of tools and conventions it provides, and that code is basically reinventing the Django settings module. It’s almost always going to be better to write the simple standard code, or to pick an example which doesn’t start with an incorrect assertion to justify the extra complexity it’s adding. It does also make me wonder whether part of the problem is that they’re not used to a language with keyword arguments - passing a single parameter through a nested function call really shouldn’t get that strong negative reaction.

In general, this reminds me of the common problem where people assume their code will be reused far more often than it actually is and try to write code like the frameworks they’ve learned without considering whether they have the same resources to develop their new bespoke framework.
I don't understand. If one of the advanced civilizations out there, is so far away, the light emitted from them will never even catch up to and reach Earth, what does it matter that they exist?
Crucially, that's not because Microsoft are more ethical - it's because they didn't figure it out first. The solution to this is not a better company, it's better adherence to and implementation of the existing laws.
Yes, the volume discounts and economies of scale they can get (while you can't) are insane.
Good one (for real, it made me chuckle) but really it's "I told you we should reinstate all the banking and financial restrictions that came into force in the 1930s because financiers and bankers can't be trusted to regulate themselves. Now we got this"

How can you say that? There wasn't any systemd in 2004. You could read the logs with more/less/vi/whatever, ffs!

I always love these corporate PR posts. "No one is loyal to us anymore, boohoo"...as if it started with the employees or as if 100,000 tech workers just decided overnight to be overemployed and quit.
Last I read that story the Ukrainians simply switched to a different
link and successfully re-ran the operation the next day. No nuclear
response. Musk was played. Or rather, Elon Musk is playing at games

He needs a quiet tap on the shoulder and remind him that his toys can

Isn't that what almost the whole field of software engineering is about?

In my experience, key is to keep the code as small and simple as possible, that way there is less that might need changing in the future.
The Apple response is false, thus dishonest and greedy at the expense of consumers.
No, not a great GPU for training. Consider something like A5000, A6000 or their Ada variants - if you want to go full "data-center", A40, L40, L40S are solid picks for small-scale training.
I love how Americans like to point to the meme about empty Chinese cities, as if planning for the future was a big failure of society. Meanwhile in America there are more people sleeping under bridges than there are empty apartments in China.

"Haha look at those dumb commies, investing in the future" an American chuckles to himself while driving past a tent city on the side of a freeway.
I can think of a reason this problem is limited to GenZ: Millenials/X are more likely to be responsible for dependents or a house.
I want to see this play out without government intervention. If banks need to take losses, so be it. This needs to be unfettered and not be an excuse to lower interest rates.

The TARP bailouts showed all of us that bailing out banks in bad situations does little to help the average citizen anyway. Let them take the losses. Why on earth did we train banks that they can have all the upside but have the public eat the downside if a financial crisis ever arises out of their own behavior?
Yeah I'm with this guy right up until that last statement. You should have 0 of these. Not an increasing rate of them.

Obviously you choose a platform which you want to promote. Hopefully the decentralized and FLOSS one (Mastodon).
The argument Apple is making from my understanding is that to comply with the law the system must allow other browsers and have a system setting of the default browser.

Currently PWA's open in an app that wraps Safari's engine to display the content and provide features but is not normal Safari. They interpret this to violate the browser choice law.

Their solution is to turn that feature off and go back to the icon just spawning the system default browser just like any link since that feature already existed.

To support true PWA's they probably have two choices:

1. Implement a standard WebView API that any engine can support then use that web view api for the PWA shell.

2. Do what Android seems to do and have a api that allows an app to create new launcher icons separate from the main app that starts the main app with parameters like url=https://pwa.com mode=pwa. Then if you create a PWA from Chrome it spawns Chrome if created from Safari it spawns Safari with whatever PWA UI they want. On Android it seems to make a little icon bottom right letting you know the parent app.

#1 is arguably more complex than #2, both are new api's for iOS that don't exist. #2 is on most desktop OS's like MacOS but not on iOS as far as I know.

Apples position is they don't want to put any resources in to creating a new api that could introduce new security surface area unless mandated to. Obviously their motives are not pure but it is a defensible position.

I think #2 would be a good feature adding flexibility to many apps, but the various shenanigans that apps could cause with that would need to be considered.
LLVM IR is an acceptable meta-assembler for most purposes. The degree to which it's used directly is roughly the degree to which people find that sort of tool useful, and it is used directly to some degree.

It would be a worthy project to write a language with the goal of providing the minimum affordances to LLVM IR to make it pleasant to program in, without fully obscuring what you're doing. I'd play around with it.

Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer despite having spent entirely too many hours meeting with corporate lawyers. I am just adding my own two cents. After debating this concept with lawyers and executives I do not believe in the concept of warrant canaries any more. I had lengthy discussions with senior legal counsel and a couple of C-Levels in a company that holds the data of most of the people here.

Conclusion: At best it is a "feel good" marketing tool. All laws and contracts aside big companies would never in a million years do anything that puts them at odds with their government even if sometimes they have a C-Level that acts like they would with tough language on Xwitter. Governments can make doing business literally hell if they get on the naughty list. Should you find a warrant canary consider it entirely marketing and nothing more regardless of what anyone says. If you are aware of any companies putting the definition of a warrant canary into their mutually agreed to and signed contracts and agreeing to uphold it regardless of their own risk I would be interested in seeing a copy of it with all PII redacted of course.
We clamped down our MDM policies to disallow sideloading on corporate devices, when we asked DJI when they planned to submit their app on the Play Store and they basically told us never, we decided to remove all DJI drones from our fleet.
I'm always perplexed by the people that say "this thing you claimed isn't true right now, so you lied" while ignoring that it was true at the point the claim was made. Are they being purposely dense to try and discredit things? As a person who don't have a devious bone in their body (as far as I can tell), I'm always just having to imagine what their motivations are.
I don't resonate with this. We've had a bunch of annoying issues with Prettier making code a mangled mess. It's not hard to not break code syntactically, but prettier has certainly messed things up visually before.
Followup: And Larry Niven, how could I forget! Albeit most notably over something which turned out not really to be a real-world issue (Niven was absolutely obsessed with the idea that authoritarian states would be incentivised to execute people for the purpose of harvesting their organs; organ transplantation was just beginning to show up when he started writing these.)

Also Heinlein, obviously.

You obviously haven't considered the fact that both Italy and France are highly protective of their industries. Italy's PM was recently publicly complaining about Stellantis not putting enough of their manufacturing in Italy.

> they are getting double-taxed

Clarify who "they" is.

The first tax is levied on the corporation's profits. This tax is collected regardless of whether the corporation ever pays a dividend. The tax is paid from the corporation's bank account.

The second tax is levied on the shareholder's profits (i.e. the dividend) and is paid from the shareholder's bank account.

The first tax is not on an individual's income and individuals may not freely enjoy the fruits of the corporation's profits for their personal ends. The money belongs to all shareholders. This is why there is very little leeway on using corporate funds to make purchases on items like cars - they are company cars, not private cars, and if the beneficiary leaves the company, they are supposed to lose access to company property. It is the freedom of the shareholder to decide what to do with the proceeds that makes it the shareholder's income and therefore subject to the second tax.

The problem I rarely see discussed is that if one user I follow posts to Twitter and Bluesky simultaneously and another totally left Twitter for Bluesky I as a Bluesky reader will have a mix of posts I have already seen on Twitter and original Bluesky posts on my timeline. There needs to be a way to somehow mark and filter crossposted content.
Another brand that was moderately OK about 10 years ago down the drain, but they've been on a path of enshittification since about 2017. My family bought a brand new Vizio TV for our living room in 2022 and that thing is nothing but headaches. It forcibly updated once while I was playing my PS3, took 15 minutes and I wasn't even showed a changelog or any reason I should've had to update. We should've just saved up for a Sony, but we had no working TV in the living room.
But why? What does an iPhone have, hardware-wise, that a Samsung or Xiaomi phone does not?
I think you need some info in your readme about what this tool is and why you’d want to use it instead of “rm”.

When you say “remove files safely” is this as in “you can easily recover the file if you delete something by accident”, or “safely” as in “the file is securely erased and no one will ever be able to recover the file again after you give away this hard drive to someone else”?
A bit off-topic but this seems a bit risky to me. I always keep two completely separate banks with a balance to sustain me 30 days. (I know this is a luxury).

The recent Ukraine war shows that soldiers lifes are cheap - according to commanders.

So many soldiers on both sides died because of really dumb commander decisions, missing kit, political needs, that worrying about CPU errors is truly way way down the list.
I wish this could work out as well as it seems it could, but it’s not nearly as easy or flowery as a residential developer picking up an office building. A friend of mine in the space pointed out even though these spaces have a lot of floor space, plumbing is your main issue on converting these structures into livable spaces. Most of these spaces only have 1-2 bathrooms a floor, meaning an apartment-style floor plan adjustment turns into a nightmare regarding piping.
If you need to fetch data from the server side, you need to fetch data from the server side. It doesn't matter much if it's a 10k json that you have to load and parse, or a 12k html snippet that you can directly display, the delay would be the same.

If you are concerned about the delay when switching a tab, nothing prevents you to load both tabs during the first page load, and then just display the content without a new network requests. Whether you should do this or not is completely unrelated to whether you should use htmx, htmz or react.
I think you’re missing the emphasis. The headlines is that less coal is being burned, which implies less emissions. But there arent less emissions - its a false hope.

As someone in the process of installing Guix, I'm not sure I agree...
The gp did say embedded. The RPi Zero is still selling, and its popular. and 32bit is still the big end of microcontrollers. But almost none of those have memory management units, so normal linux is off the table (not sure about FreeBSD) but it is possible to build a linux for those platforms.
I wish WebKit GTK was more performant in general (and also in the MDN compatibility list but its another topic). It is getting better but it really is a blocker on shipping quality application with Tauri on Linux. There is a reason most apps using native webviews only target macos and windows, WebKit GfK is mostly undocumented for frontend engineers and often very much outdated / not installed on end user machines.
misja111 does something similar above and isn't downvoted. So no, as long as you don't rationalize russians as the good guys, and as long as your arguments aren't (even if neutrally) ridiculous, I don't think you will be downvoted.
Not my intention to brag about it, but I run an R&D company and have invented and patents on quite a lot of network technologies :)

The only time in my life where I had an infected devices was in the year 1993 - a boot sector virus on a floppy disk I got from someone.

Luckily my wife is a nerd, too, by sister is trained and has not yet fallen for any of the social engineering tricks before. So no, I do not have to deal with other people's infected boxes either.
>Think about it this way, if solar and wind are cheaper, why is China building coal plants? Why was Germany signing multi-decade deals with Russia and building new pipelines (at least before the war) to ship Russia's natural gas? What do they know, that you don't know?

This is the right question to ask.

China is the global leader in battery and solar tech, yet they are building many coal plants. Why?

While I don't disagree in principle, the FT make the vast vast amount of their revenue from subscriptions, and they're the least click-baity of all the major newspapers (IMO, at least).

A ratio of 100% is a fairly meaningless figure.

Converting CRE into residential is easiest (and probably cheapest) done by tearing the whole building down and building it from scratch. Pretty much nothing in commercial is designed to handle needs of residential and you can't just add missing pipes, shafts, stairs, isolation, etc. to an existing building.
Yup. I pickup my orders from Domino's quite regularly and it the tracker is reliable. The only thing that does happen is that they sometimes do mark it "Ready for pickup" while someone still needs to take the pizza from the oven and put it into a box. So I sometimes wait a minute seconds at the counter for that to happen.
To me, you numbers demonstrate that it works very well: compare the whole userbases of the two platforms and you will see that the engagement on Mastodon is larger and growing fast.
Ask HN: Is AI a hype like crypto?
I have burnt myself building in Crypto in India and it's been hard, gov. is against you, markets too volatile and mostly full of scams.

Is AI also just a hype trend? How do we know? Only OpenAI seems like a true disruptor.
I used to think Apple was the king of UIs.

They have long departed from quality and functionality; Jobs has a no nonsense approach where form followed functionality. If it functioned properly, the form was intuitive. Apple UI interfaces from the Jobs years were incredible. Nowadays, under forced yearly redesign policy, we’re reversed so far things are just hidden and awkward.

Kinda funny: you force it and it sucks.
With regards to residential property, after watching the last 20 years I've decided demand is the music to valuation-musical-chairs.

If demand falls, then prices go down.

Otherwise, they track inflation (multiplied by desirability of the area you're looking in).

Which basically means: buy in areas with growing populations, good economies, and good achool zones.
the colored plates come from olympic weightlifting.

0.5kg / 5kg white
1kg / 10kg green
1.5kg / 15kg yellow
2kg / 20kg blue
2.5kg / 25kg red

makes it easier to count the weight on the bar quickly (the metal collars are also 2.5kg each). the green 10kg plate is the first full size plate (ignoring youth/beginner plates).
I swear I remember once seeing a library that enabled this by wrapping the first object: Foo(user).get_balance().credit_amount()

Maybe with an additional .get() at the end to unwrap it? Though I imagine a dynamically-created class could avoid that.
Maybe we could somehow triangulate the hypothetical black hole too, with enough probes. If it has mass, it can in principle be detected.
I wish I lived in a democracy.

Unfortunately I live in the Netherlands. A country in which the government itself carries out criminality against it's citizens (They call it interventions), where prosecutors lie regularly in court, are found out and it's no big deal. A country where the attorney general writes in a letter that if a prosecutor lies in court it's not perjury and he cannot be prosecuted for it. A Country where the head of a court was publically outed as being responsible for the jailing of 9 innocent people on fabricated evidence, one of whom consequently commited suicide and there are no consequences. (See de Villamoord).

I would be great to live in a democracy. However, I don't think that picking on Tiktok is going to make it so.
I recall the article mentioned they got to "99% reliability". As a manufacturer of high-end products looking for a good authentication solution, I was thinking this might be cool until I read that. Having errors in 1 in 100 identification passes is nowhere near usable. I'd want I'd down under one misidentification in 10k or 100k readings (fail/redo/succeed is ok in 1%). The entire point of the system is to be able to definitely determine that "this is a counterfeit" or "yes, we made this in batch K69342". If it can't do that reliably, why would I invest in building this into our manufacturing flow?
> It seems like Spotify barely wants to acknowledge that the 'album' is a thing.

I can't get Spotify to give me a simple list of all an artist's songs, it only gives me a list of albums, so I have to manually click into each one, and most have one song or duplicate songs anyways. If anything, Spotify grossly over emphasizes albums.
Nvidia faces stiff test on Wall Street this week after 'parabolic' stock rally
If this is true (I would think it might be) it leads to an interesting questions: when the decisive moment comes, will they choose long-time relationships and property or freedom?
I'll continue, this is absurd. No, the government shouldn't be stepping in to stop this.

The FTC should evaluate this deal just like any others and possibly slow/stop it if it finds major anti-trust issues.
China has over 20 nuclear plants under construction and another 70 planned.
IMO, the problem with the original code is not in the way it nests ifs, it's in the bad design. If it is properly nested in a function, user should not ever be None (any user-less behaviour should be in a completely separate execution branch, likely in a different module), while there is no reason for get_balance and credit_amount to ever return None.
There is some ambiguity here that doesn't help in a fruitful conversation: many people say the war started in 2022. I disagree, I think it started in 2014.
