You are right on the former, incorrect on the latter. Invasion looks different now that warfare has changed. You might have been invaded and not even know it. When was the last time you looked at your ssh logs?

971MW, producing up to 1700 to 2400 GWh/year.

That puts it at 2471 hours/year of full-power production equivalent, or 28%. That's good - it's a nice area for solar.

I assume the idea here is similar to other embedded Postgres libraries - you create a template database that is very fast to copy on startup (or you manually copy the correct files which is even faster) so you don’t need to run migrations. In our tests on one of the JVM equivalents the overhead is about 20ms per test which is entirely tolerable. Making this language agnostic is really interesting though.

I think this analogy is flawed - the hn equivalent of posting is the same as Reddit and then it changes and gets weird if hn starts selling your writing.

I'm not sure why folks are trying to say that going to Reddit and doing activity where the price of admission is ads is the same as doing activity where the price of admission is they own your writing and sell it. You may be fine with it but they seem clearly distinct to me -- enough to be worth talking about instead of dismissing.
If you need the macOS SDK, then you need to obey the developer licensing rules. Does this need the SDK?
On one hand, I'm really glad to have come across this this morning, as I'm trying to automate a task that requires GUI automation due to a lack of an API. But I'm stuck even on that because some windows don't accept key input to select the "Enter" button (why? no idea), so now I'm having to drop into mouse automation, which of course is super imprecise, being DPI-dependent. So, taking screenshots and then feeding those into a LLM is a solid solution, I guess.

On the other hand, I shudder to think of the millions of man hours required to arrive at this solution, when simple UI guidelines, or better yet, an API, would have solved my problem far more simply and efficiently.
> Sports teams may be a very poor example because they’re similar to movie stars - the workers are _also_ the sales folks in those labor markets. Not a lot of engineers have the kind of influence to bring entire swaths of investment and interest besides celebrity engineers basically.

Small nitpick that sports players are more like marketing, not sales. Sports teams have armies of sales everywhere. But your sentiment is right - each individual player is a symbol that markets the team. This is true in large leagues with famous players.

That said, even in leagues with little audience, management and execs still draw much lesser pay than players. It's because the punishment for mismanaged team is lower wins/positions in the league and thus, lower awards and sponsorships. Sponsors want to pay the winners, not the losers and the only way winners win is by paying the players who actually play.

An (not perfect) equivalent in ad tech industry would be - ad buyers buying ads in meta as opposed to Twitter, where all players were not retained.
The Austin novels made a lot more sense to me when I started to think of them as closer to tales of corporate Mergers & Acquisitions, rather than love stories.
The rich familes then were like large corporations are now, and a marriage was a very financial merger.

I think I realised this when I first read Pride and Prejudice and the main character started talking about basically falling in love with the Pemberley estate.

Thereafter, any time I visit an English country house with extensive gardens, the massive wealth expenditure to create them makes a lot more sense when you view them as M&A marketing budget.

This is hopefully too cynical, and the truth is somewhere in between - but it's equally naive to read Austen as straight love stories with a modern perspective - there's a lot of clear focus on the incomes and social situations in the text.
There is cargo-zigbuild, which uses zig as a linker, but I have yet to try it out.
I have done neither but you are being mentally obtuse in thinking physical property and intellectual property are the same thing. You seem to be missing the basic idea that has permeated all of history physical property and this concept of intellectual property are different. Physical property rights have been a thing since the beginning of time and all societies at some level have understood and respected physical property rights. Intellectual property rights are a modern legal fiction. These two things are fundamentally different.

500 years ago no one would have thought that if they sang a song that somehow they are the exclusive owners of that song and no one can ever repeat it. It is a fundamentally bizarre concept. Creative works as in the intellectual property are intended to enrich a society as a whole because there is zero cost to sharing a concept and resharing a concept over and over and over. And as that concept is shared it grows and it is enriched by every person it passes through. This is not the same for physical property the fact you're trying to relate these two things as being the same shows a fundamental lack of understanding around what property rights are.

I suggest you study and review history and understand why societies have decided that it is okay to have intellectual property rights for a limited time. Because you're assertion seems to be to exert orwellian control in the minds of others. That has nothing to do with it. It is solely about allowing people who are creative and thinkers to realize a profit so they can create and think more. It is not about producers because producers of physical things already have the self-limiting of the thing that they produced can be sold and cannot be easily reproduced. Because as a society having creative works be part of the society in riches the culture as a whole and so it is necessary to encourage this. So answer this for me how many years after Martin Luther King's death has he continued to provide us with inspirational great works? Yet the copyright and the ownership remain. This fundamentally breaks the bargain of saying we want you to realize a profit so you can give us more. Your attitude of trying to control something after the fact is the same because we want you to give us more. We don't want you to try and dictate how we consume it what we think about it or where it's used after we purchased it.
That's actually exactly how this cross-compiler works for Rust!
> Being angry is never the problem

Misplaced anger is common.
I think that's a vast simplification. It doesn't have to be repeatable at all. Objectively repeatability is about elimination of waste and expenditure. The big one is qualification and testing because that's what filters all the crap out. Actually I've worked as an engineer where we had to throw 20% of the products we built out because they didn't pass qualification.

And of course that is where the cost savings are usually made because it is seen as a null function in some businesses. It creates waste and reduces delivery and ROI. Those are all symptoms of other problems in the business but that's how it is generally perceived. And sometimes clients are happy to receive muck if it's cheap.

But that's also how we get planes that crash and Microsoft firing their entire QA and delivering shit for the last half a decade.

And that in turn is because management and project management culture is data driven by people who have no idea what the fuck they are doing whatsoever.

Not a gene per se, though it's no surprise a popular science outlet screws this up; given a working clock, they typically do only slightly better than chance at identifying the time of day.

From the cited paper [1], what actually makes the difference is having your two copies of a specific gene (one from each parent) differ from one another in a few specific, relatively common ways.

The vast majority of prescriptions are for treating chronic conditions. Those patients have time to shop around and consult with their physicians to decide on a course of treatment.

Back in the day I worked on seismic field crews in that region.

Each crew had field archaeologists and biologists and representatives from the tribes and Bureau of Land Management working closely with us to insure that we followed all procedures to protect sensitive areas from disturbance.

That meant in practice that local or BLM archaeologists and biologists led the way across the area where we intended to acquire data. Just as you see in the photos in the linked presentation (user 1970-01-01), teams of experts surveyed the land looking for sensitive or threatened plants and animals and archaeologists identified areas with cultural artifacts. These areas were flagged and that flagging placed them off limits to our operations. They were No-Go areas. We had permission to operate within a fairly narrow easement across the landscape with strict guidelines about vehicle access, allowable damage to existing vegetation and the landscape, trash removal, etc since that region is very arid and small things like orange peels become items that are recognizable centuries after they are discarded.

For this survey I expect that they staked the potential affected area and walked every bit of it using pin flags to mark things that are not to be disturbed. The area is only about 8 square miles so it shouldn't take that long.
Because "I can't find any printers" suggests that printing is possible if only you set up your printer correctly, rather than suggesting the print function doesn't work.

By showing that no printers can be found the app is misleading the user to think there's an issue external to the app that they need to solve themselves.

Me personally, I always reboot after every update. I'd rather deal with the break now while I'm working on it, rather than at some random point. Then I'll know exactly what changed.

I take it a step further. I usually reboot before updates, too. Make sure I won't chase updates as an issue if something else broke.
> In my experience, it is rare for a network to correctly generate Time Exceeded messages for both IPv4 and IPv6.

Doesn't that make it more one of those situations where the non-documented behavior has become the de facto standard, rather than "wrong" exactly? (I guess it depends on whether that decision is being made consciously by the implementors or just for lack of knowledge of the standards.)
> in a hypothetical spy browser maybe :) not in any of the modern browser engines like Gecko/Firefox

But that's the whole point of security -- you're protecting precisely against the disguised malware, not the well-behaved software.

To say that this isn't necessary because there exist browsers that are well-behaved misses the point of security entirely.

And remember that iOS was built with a new model of security in mind from the start. They don't want their security guarantees becoming undone because suddenly third-party browsers can start installing things on the home screen that look like familiar apps and inherit all sorts of permissions.
Love eating brain and liver. Liver especially is just amazing when fried with some onions.
Just giving my own perspective. It was hard for me to come across muse within my search for tools in that space, something about SEO was not working. Never had a single ad or organic content hit my timeline in social networks. I actively scraped the depths of YouTube to find their tutorial vids. Those videos had an synthetic and corporate appeal. I was expecting something fully geared towards students and creatives. The Teams integration made no sense to me. My GF does a lot of colored diagrams and drawings while she studies, and she does so in Google Docs! I’m sure there’re many people like her that never heard of the product. I don’t think they marketed to the ideal niche and for enough time. It seems to me like there’s huge value yet to be extracted. Being featured in the App Store, product hunt, etc may give an illusion of achievement but it means absolutely nothing because regular end-users never see this stuff! So, a very serious branding and marketing problem is my diagnosis. Perhaps it was confined to a northern enterprisey-techy-bubble the whole time? I personally think it would be a hit on among LATAM universities and schools.

There have been several articles like this posted even ones that are completely fictional accounts on the website. The way this article is written it intentionally downplays real dangers of prion disease in an attempt to defend its consumption. This isn't something a magazine should be doing in the first place.

"But of people aren't mortally afraid, they won't work hard enough!" - American capitalism

I once had a manager (not my direct manager) tell me "maybe some fear is good?" No, it's not. Fear is useful for outrunning predators, but it is a useless emotion for programming computers. Unfortunately that particular phrase had come to that manager from the CEO, so, yeah. That company is a mess of short termism and hasty irrational decision-making and constant thrashing / "why can't we execute on big projects". It's because everyone is so scared that they're just trying to survive, and rule number 1 of surviving is to avoid large unpredictable projects.

I detest this whole line of thought because it's completely at odds with the reality - that people, and especially programmers, are creative and inventive by nature and are the last people who would "do nothing" if not afraid.
The only similarity there is revenue.

Ads are for consumption by Reddit users, and is an expected, if not liked, mechanism. That you can pay to opt out of.

People wrote content that they expected to be content on Reddit. Not to be later able to pick up a book (after buying it) and read their own words, that Reddit sold and made additional money off of (because they're still doing the ads, of course).
Currently I cross-compile the other way since the story is easier. Getting dependencies, etc. especially if you want something libssl is an annoying nightmare if you're trying to cross-compile targeting MacOS on a host on Linux. But if you're going the other way, very easy to use Docker.

The good part of this is that I can use a standard Linux host now to just build everything. Very nice!
I'll plug some work I've been doing to (attempt to) enable cross compilation of Python wheels. I put together a small example [1] that builds the zstandard wheel, and can build macos wheels on linux and linux wheels on macos using zig cc.

macos wheels must still be adhoc signed (codesign) and binary patched (install_name_tool), so I re-implemented those functions in Python [2].

> if it's such a problem, have you thought about straight up merging the mini-app store and sandboxed GPS package from the GrapheneOS codebase?

I'm sure at least someone has thought about doing that. However, including any amount of GrapheneOS code is considered a no-go.

> Or, to throw another wild guess, are you perhaps concerned that the "blind eye" only extends to Graphene, since they target Google's own devices only [...]

The "blind eye" in this case is the assumption that the permission to use Google Apps is attached to the device, not the software that is running on it (I'm not sure if this was ever communicated by Google in private or publicly).

While GrapheneOS still has the lowest amount of friction (because they only ever ship the devices that Google ships, with the respectively matching Android version), we hope that this licensing assumption applies to everyone equally.

> (and are lower profile in general, and also apparently contribute a lot of upstream code), while Lineage is much more widespread and well-known so it wouldn't get treated as nicely?

LineageOS being somewhat well-known and wide-spread is indeed something to be considered. As an example, PixelExperience both ships Google Apps built-in and has obvious points of conflict in regards to trademark issues, yet continues existing. We are not keen on finding out whether Google has changed their stance or whether PixelExperience is simply small enough to be flying under Google's lawyers' radars.

For what it's worth, we regularly try to contribute upstream as well, but get ghosted most of the time on things that aren't trivial. :^)
Listen dude. I’m not going to argue about this:

Immutability is measurably slower. Full stop.

The fact that you can come up with silly, overly simplistic, non-idiomatic anecdotes showing that sometimes a compiler will prefer calculation doesn’t change that. It is a commonly known fact in low level programming that just because you’re calculating something doesn’t make it slower by default.

When Haskell devs can produce a game engine that doesn’t look like PS2 on a 4090, we can chat again about how immutability is supposedly not slow.

> Everyone hates him, but you have to begrudgingly admit that Elon successfully demonstrated you don't need massive dev teams to build and run software, even at Twitter's scale. (obviously it has other problems due to Elon's incompetence, but nothing more developers would solve.) Most companies could cut their dev team size by 50% and end up net-positive due to less overhead--the challenge is figuring out which 50% to cut.

What do you mean this revelation was recently demonstrated by Elon? The NATO Software Engineering Conference 1968 paper talks about the problems of having too many programmers of low skill. The 1969 paper talks about the same thing. Fred Brooks wrote the Mythical Man Month in 1975, covering this topic extensively. This has been talked about extensively for over half a century with regards to software, it wasn't just discovered by Elon in the last year.

> But, yes, if someone has had a successful 35-40 year career in tech and has managed their finances reasonably, it's not unreasonable that they might decide to pack things in some years early

Early? If you've been in tech (or any job, really) for 35 to 40 years you're going to be in your 60s (or close) which is a normal time to retire.
The most obvious answer is you need the system frameworks to link against.
