Big Tech depends on you buying their hardware (iOS/Android/Mac/Windows) to pull you into their 'ecosystem of services': messaging, payments, streaming video and of course, targeted advertisements.

We need some kind of ecosystem-agnostic hardware vendor that provides/supports:

- a Linux-based GUI OS with minimal telemetry

- Web Apps unencumbered by the whims of monopolistic browser vendors

- a RISC-V desktop-class processor (one day...)

- repairable, swappable components

- some sort of local LLM interface for those who need it

Fairphone, Framework laptops and the to-be-released MNT Pocket Reform 7" laptopnprobably come closest to this, minus the RISC-V.
Exactly, the caloric burn that allows you to consume more calories without trouble is just the cherry on top; it allows you to get treats without needing to restrict other important areas of nutrition.

Taking the radical approach to banning all sugar is just too restrictive and counterproductive, because the most important part is getting satisfied by what you eat.

In my opinion (and experience) people who struggle with weight tend to be bad at cooking and/or selecting the food they actually want to eat; then they feel bad and end up doing both: overeating stuff that isn't so good for health (especially if exercise isn't matched) after eating not so good food they felt they needed to eat.

Pro cyclist actually consumes pure sugar for the load of exercise they do and they are some of the lowest body fat people on earth, it would actually be problematic for them to eat too many fibrous foods since they could never digest it fast enough to meet their energy expenditure.

Companies are not people. We do not need to "remember their contributions and innovations." Their valuation today is because of those contributions, so they got their rewards, profit and then some.

Commission a statue for them if you want. What is this parasocial relationship some people have with fiscal entities?
I don't like lack of pricing either. It would be a deal breaker for me as far as using their stuff. Maybe that's because they're in beta.

But the actual capabilities of their service - it just sounds like you didn't even care to learn what they offer because there's a lot to like.

First, it's a hosted SQLite. For those who know SQLite and not other databases is a reason enough to use it over hosted Postgres or hosted Mysql

They claim involvement of Richard Hipp, the creator of SQLite. That's as huge boost of credibility right there.

They have multi-node replication with Raft. That's not unique but also not something you get everywhere. Most hosted database services just give you a database on a single server.

They have Pub/Sub - that's even more rare than multi-node replication.

They have offline synch where you can sync your cloud db to a sqlite db on a mobile device. I believe that's both useful to many people and 100% unique to their service.

WebLite is also 100% unique and seems very useful to web frontends.

They claim they'll provide a way to run your code, compiled to wasm, on their servers. That would also be 100% unique to them.

They have SDKs for lots of languages.

So technologically that's very compelling and they have useful features not available anywhere else.
Ex-Google engineer charged with stealing trade secrets
Show HN: Effortless App Publishing with Reusable React Native Template
Hey HN Community,

I'd like to share a project created from my own need for simplicity and efficiency in mobile deployment: a free and reusable React Native CLI Template designed to streamline the deployment process to the AppStores.

Minimalism is at its core, focused on the deployment itself, this Template will help you with:

- Multi-environment Support: Separate (dev, stage, and prod) environments and all apps installed on your device simultaneously, making testing and iteration much easier,

- Environment-Specific Configuration: By integrating react-native-config, the app's behavior is adapted to its running environment and is as straightforward as providing the proper values (in .env or the environment itself),

- Simplified Deployment: Creating the apps in Apple Developer + AppStore Connect, managing Code Signing Certificates + Provisioning Profiles and automated deployment – everything's included with a simple Fastlane integration, which makes deploying to both Apple AppStore and Google Play easier.

The native iOS and Android projects are fully environment-configured as well, a solid base for multiple apps. This approach cuts down on the initial setup time and ensures that keeping your apps aligned with the latest Template improvements will be easy as well.

It comes together with a free Mobile Playbook, which covers more essential topics like Mobile CI/CD setup, all trying to make your mobile deployment easier.

I'd love for you to give it a try and share your thoughts.

There’s much more coming and in case there’s something in particular that might help you with automation, I’d be happy to make it a part of this.

It allows you to separate non-stateful business logic from the stateful update logic. Reactive frameworks usually handle the state mutation for you, eliminating the potential for UI glitches where something that depends on the updated state doesn't get recomputed/redrawn.
Oh, wow, billions! They even got water!

Seriously speaking, what they got is subsistence level help, essentially. The Marshall plan was about building up businesses, industry, banks - everything. Not some token support to just about prevent them from dying.

And, with the 30 years of military occupation and the 20 years of blockade, no real commerce could be made, so Gaza was kept entirely dependent on foreign aid.
Windows has a lot of mutex and signaling primitives. Some of them can be asynchronously waited on. It also has an IoRing and I wouldn't be surprised if keyed events (the local futex equivalent) will be supported in the future.

As an aside, it is interesting that rust uses pthread_mutex for its standard library mutex. GCC/libstdc++ regrets that decision as its std::mutex is now way larger than it needs to be but it is now permanently baked in the ABI. I guess rust still doesn't guarantee ABI stability so the decision could be reversed in the future.

FWIW, Hamas's charter states that it's issue is with the Zionist Project and not Jews. They specifically speak about coexistence, albeit in a single entity called Palestine. There is not language to exclude other ethnicities or religions, only to remove the colonialist movement referred to as Zionism - which is not Judaism.

Woah woah woah let's not get hasty. We can have panicking and nonpanicking versions of the API (at least until somebody builds the nonpanicking version of Rust, that will be great). The panicking version is for quick, off-the-cuff usage, and the nonpanicking one for production use.

A slight tangent: there's also a related notion to termination, that allows you to describe event loops.

Basically it's about the loop making progress on every iteration, but we can have an infinite number of iterations.

I think the distinction is related to the one between data and co-data.

I do wonder, based on the 'state of mines' question, whether phytomining won't be a major source of resources in a more circular economy. The solarpunk in me loves the idea. The Engineer in me blanches at the economic realities. Investing in commercial phytomining is definitely on my 'if I win the lottery' list.
Good. Forcing downstream consumers of open source projects to spend resources on identifying and fixing security issues is not just entirely appropriate, but direly needed.

If you're already paying someone to maintain Linux for you, this shouldn't be causing that much trouble; it might need some contractual adjustments but you're already set up to get a stream of "good" updates. The patch frequency may be higher, but other people already do the majority of the work for you.

If you were just ingesting Linux "for free"… well, tough luck. You're profiting from the work of others already, you don't get to complain about not being spoon fed exactly what you need.

In practice, a small number of commercial entities (likely a mix of commercial distributions and designated security companies) will probably offer "Linux as a service". People could do the same work on their own, but that's not cost effective.

Either way, this shift in responsibilities has been long overdue.
I think lines of code in a text editor is a terrible way of describing state machines and flow diagrams.

And I think flow diagrams are a terrible way of describing many algorithms.

Flow diagrams look great for multi-processing pipelines and event suff.

I'm interested in this as an addition to current coding practices.

> My understanding is support for a 2 state solution is relatively low on both sides. Especially now that things have deteriorated, but even before oct 7 it seemed unlikely.

I find that pretty hard to believe (particularly from the Palestinian side). I agree that Israel's government doesn't want this (Netanyahu has been against since forever), but the options are occupation and the consequent destruction of Israel as a liberal democratic state, or a two state solution. Fundamentally, nothing else will work.

> Even if Israel doesn't want Gaza, they still have an interest in not getting shot at. I don't think they believe that they would be safe from attacks if they left Gaza alone, and based on both history as well as current rhetoric from Palestinian leaders, it doesn't seem like an irrational fear.

I completely understand the fears that many Israelis have, but fundamentally if they stopped settling the west bank and moved towards actually working towards a two state solution, there would be a lot less violence.

> I think a fundamental problem here is historically, israeli overtures towards peace (imperfect as they may have been) have often been met with an increase in violence. Its hard to sell peace to someone when they don't have a lot of reason to believe it will actually result in peace and not increased violence.

Can you give me some examples here? I'm open to being convinced, but I haven't noted much of this over the twenty years I've been following this conflict.

Are tech job interviews really such a nightmare? Compared to other professions with similar pay? Leetcode can be a bit annoying and unrealistic, but it's not the end of the world, it just means putting in some study time before interviews.

Jobs are also becoming better and lower risk. Many companies have gotten rid of the one year cliff on RSUs so you can potentially take a job that doesn't work, leave after 10 months and get 9 months of equity. That's a huge win when a lot of these roles have been half equity and you used to get zero.
What I want is for us to reward companies for what they produced, not by what they managed to squeeze out of customers after getting big.

Apple was revitalized by the iPod and later the iPhone? Great, let them sell as many iPods and iPhones as they possibly can. But when they sell it, do not let them keep control of everything. If they are saying the only they can make money is by keeping the iPhone closed and being the gatekeeper of the app store, it means that they are not really making money on the device, so we shouldn't be rewarding them.

Google search was incredible? Ad sense let publishers earn money online? Great. Then let's reward them for that instead of letting them take 60-70% of the ad publishing market.

Does Facebook want to innovate on the communication space by developing an application on XMPP? When was it even working with Google Talk? Amazing, let's reward them for that instead of letting close things down and please let's not them have WhatsApp to feed their endless appetite for user data.

> The gist of CO argument being that the state executive can unilaterally declare an event an insurrection (there has been no finding to date in court) thus blocking a candidate for federal office?

The state executive didn't act unilaterally to declare it an insurrection. Though even if they had, I don't believe the constitution includes a definition of an insurrection or the process for how it is determined.

> The liberal justices threw this in the trash because they recognize how dangerous this is.

A presumed dangerous outcome should have no bearing on how the amendment is interpreted as written. Doing so moves the decision out of the realm of legal question and makes it political. Further, setting a precedent for "the ends justify the means" seems extremely dangerous itself.

> After all, imagine if everyone who participated in a BLM riot [1] in 2020 were declared an insurrectionist by red-leaning states and barred from office?

That's definitely an interesting question, though one that wasn't part of this case so the court didn't have to decide it. Its worth noting that the intelligibility in 14.3 is specific to those who already took an oath of office. Only those taking part in or supporting the riots and previously took an oath of office would be at risk.
I didn't intend to make a statistically rigorous statement or anything, I just thought your anecdote was a funny application of Berkson's paradox.

The fun part is that I don't need to know how smart or clean you are, or how cool the companies you work for are. As long as you subjectively perceive people to be cleaner/messier than you, or smarter/dumber than you, Berkson's paradox will still hold no matter what your objective, absolute levels of those traits are.

For example, it's perfectly possible that the programmers you consider to be dumb but clean or smart but messy are still both smarter and cleaner than me. Berkson's paradox applies to me too, after all, and we don't hang out together.
Gatekeeping also has something to do with this.
> This is companies prioritizing short-term over the long term.

Well, it is, but realistically that is almost what the dynamics of the situation _forces_ them to do, particularly over the sorts of timeframes that aircraft manufacturers run on. Taking the 737 MAX project as a whole, to the outside observer it would seem obvious that Boeing should have designed a new-generation plane to effectively compete with the A32X family; this would, _in the long run_, clearly have paid off.

But if you're the CEO of Boeing, considering a project with a 20 year payoff period, well, in 20 years you're probably not CEO of Boeing anymore, if you're even still around at all. Selling very long-term investments to the public markets is also not necessarily easy. So "squeeze another few years out of the 60 year old design, at any cost" starts to look like an attractive option.

On:
> But if they had a reputation of quality I would be happy to pay the premium.

I don't think that _really_ applies here. There are about twice as many A32Xneo orders as 737 Max orders, and it it fairly clearly the market's preferred plane, but if you want an A32Xneo today, you're going to be waiting _years_. As long as the 737 Max can get off the runway at all, it has a large captive market.

(Part of the problem here is that there are only really two companies who make planes in this size class, and again that fact is a failure of regulation; both Boeing and Airbus are products of mergers which should arguably not have been permitted.)

> Because Hamas wants Israel destroyed, and a state actor doing that is a much bigger problem for Israel than a non-state actor.

Hamas is fundamentally a response to the co-option of the PA by (perceived) western/israeli governments. It's rather like the provisional IRA versus the constitutional nationalists in Ireland.

If people see that only violence has any impact, there will be more violence. The events post October 7th (i.e. what's happened in Gaza) have basically created the next Hamas, even in the vanishingly unlikely case that the IDF can wipe them out now.

For the record, you do not have to occupy 100% to be an occupier. If you push the current residents out of their own homes and lands and occupy said land, you are an occupier regardless of the amount of land you occupy.

I talk about it here, but I first stumbled across it on Mastodon. I think it’s more that the type of users Mastodon and HN attracts are the same type of people to pay for a search engine and be excited about a search engine.

I have long hated that “free with ads” is the first and only business model anyone thinks can work on the internet, so I want to support companies that are willing to push back against that. Ads in search create a conflict of interest that I don’t like. Ads in most products create a conflict of interest I don’t like.

I pay for YouTube Premium for a similar ideological reason. I want to support the business model that doesn’t rely on showing me ads. In a perfect world, this would mean that the features and algorithms of YouTube would change to prioritize me as a user, rather than pushing constant consumption, but with Google its baby steps.
