That’s never gonna happen. Something like that would need to be done under antitrust regulation, such as art. 102 TFEU because the DMA isn’t antitrust regulation and doesn’t have mechanisms to establish such violations.

While 102 TFEU (and in particular the CJEU case law surrounding it) has stacked the deck extremely in favor of the EC, in part due to it being designed and interpreted on the basis of European administrative law traditions, a ban or divestiture will only be imposed by the CJEU in the most extreme cases.

A case even the EC, with the entire deck stacked in their favor, will never be able to make. Edit: Specifically for Apple, the others, depending on who we’re talking about, might be a different story.
If you throw a coin 100 times, and it's always tails, it is plausible that this just happened randomly, but I doubt most people would agree that it's the simplest explanation.
Dragon Ball Creator, Akira Toriyama, Has Passed Away

>Maybe there should be a guiding hand to society so that vapid entertainment isn't promoted and we don't get a society of airheads.

Vapid entertainment has been around since the beginning of time. Luckily, society doesn't work that way. Vapid entertainment doesn't create vapid people any more than violent videogames create violence. If there is to be a "guiding hand" in society it should be better education rather than censorship.

And at one time, for a long time, science fiction was considered degenerate and childish. In a world where vapid entertainment isn't promoted, everything Frank Herbert wrote probably gets burned in a big pile.
Sure, but even if it's a typo for verbatim, I still don't quite understand what "a markdown verbatim" would mean where verbatim is the noun.

I've always thought of the daringfireball.net[1] page as the authoritative source of Markdown syntax, and it calls them "code blocks." It looks like Pandoc[2] talks about "verbatim environments" in the same way. And clang[3] has a method for extracting documentation formatted as "markdown verbatim," instead of applying formatting to the document.

I went to Gemini to ask it what a "markdown verbatism" was and:

> In markdown, verbatims are code snippets or text that you want displayed exactly as you typed it, without markdown interpreting any formatting instructions.

it seems to be applying the Pandoc usage, which I found a few other places too. But it strikes me as an excessively jargon-heavy way of talking about code blocks or pre-formatted blocks when those terms seem resolve the nuance and would be common in other contexts.

The idea that it's a clever way to escape a blacklist is interesting too.

It's kind of a misfeature, but the non-evil idea was probably to provide hooks for customizing copy and paste (or other standard command functionality) in beneficial ways, for example seamlessly copying and pasting custom data formats between web apps, or between web and desktop apps.

It is a law of the web that any potentially beneficial browser feature will immediately be (mis)used in an abusive, user-hostile manner.
Good point. I also think it's confusing because it's from the point of view of the program instead of the user. I.e., the program is sending draw commands to some server to get rendered.

But as a user, the IO devices that I interact with (keyboard, mouse, display) are the client that connect to some backend (whether a web server or a remote program).

> Do we get to look at your personal journals, browser history and hidden photo gallery once you kick the bucket?

Once you are dead, you are dead, it's the same as if you never existed in the first place. I completely fail to understand how my wishes are relevant after I no longer exist.

What shame or embarrassment can I feel when I'm dead? Promise me on my death bed my secrets will never be revealed and the second I'm gone, share them and it won't change the peace of mind I had. Likewise the state of my mind at the moment of death is irrelevant because I'll be dead.

It's bizarre to me to see you are so troubled by this. Do you care what happens after your dead? Do you care what's happening on a planet so distant and foreign you do not even know it exists or what it's inhabitants are like? The world after you are dead will be far more foreign to you than such a world that exists today.

In time all humans will be dead. In time all evidence of this planet will be erased. If alien life should come across some rock with Gabriel García Márquez last writing and note saying "do not read" are found should that alien life honor that request? What moral system are you deriving these beliefs from?
Indeed, let's not forget our incredible human capacity for forgiveness. Two major peace treaties I pray to see every day is Palestine and Israel and for the Russians and Ukrainians to be brothers.

Sometimes I wonder what a unified world look like, for example what would it look for Palestine and Israel becoming a single nation? For South Korea and North Korea to merge again in brother hood? For China and Taiwan ? etc.

Like how boring would the news be in complete peace? what we wound be doing instead if we weren't busy killing each other?

> The real wins, then, are tools which do not require everyone to be at their best at every moment: ratchets, not levers. Levers let you move things, but if you are holding something up with a lever, you have to keep holding it — forever. A ratchet lets you drive forward motion without slipping back as soon as you let up on the pressure.

I love love love this idea. I feel like there is always a curse of immediacy & visible progress that goes against figuring out how to create relief & space & de-tension; few see the tradeoffs & most of the org just wants features now, tomorrow, & always, & often from a position of high of not knowing (ignorance) will argue for an express path that they think gives leverage.

This is such an interesting great framing for in-our-humble-opinions the real quest of software. The idea of the ratchet as allowing progress but also being forever a backstop implies a paradigm that espouses the frontiersmen, the radicals. But always offering fallbacks, redoubts, safeties, and viewpoints to come back to. There's an interesting nexus point of software & observability that I think has grown enormously, but still is viewed largely as ops, as site reliability. The submarine point, what's below the surface, is that the running of software slowly becomes more legible, easier to clearly see. Making good damned choices in your architecture that don't suck & are long term good picks is like 1/3rd the effort. 2/3rds+ of what enhances us, what positions us to not fail is a better total software visibility, is how we see our runtimes run the time; that ability to augment ourselves with an understanding of the runtime is up to is what keeps us from falling backwards, is what keeps us atop of situations.

Our languages & libraries have made great strides, but the real computer revolution that's afoot is being able to see & understand our systems, and only a minority part of that is the arbitrary cobbling of architecture we do and a far greater part of that is systematics, is growing into these tools to see spans & traces, to see time run. This is a sense of computing humans are only just starting to evolve again, and it's IMHO how we ratchet ourselves up onwards & forwards.

Yes, I wouldn't suggest or support anything like that.

One way this feels different to me is that while somewhere able to sell merchandise may have a range of items including some very expensive it generally wouldn't be suggesting I buy something every month and then offer an increasing % discount for paying 3/6/12/24 months up front.
$5M once, upfront. But given the significantly increased throughput, how fast does that pay for itself?

Hi fellow biohackers :-) I need an advice.

I happen to sincerely enjoy fasting and keto dieting. My preferred eating routine is almost exactly what Dr. Berg (don't worry, I know he's not a real doctor and don't follow him blindly, this is just a coincidence with my actual taste) considers perfect "healthy keto" with greens, OMAD and full water fasting days. I feel the best this way (also most energized and productive and sleep the best) and prefer keto snacks as a matter of taste. Except I normally add more proteins, more fruits + supplement some minerals and vitamins.

The problems are in ketosis my skin starts looking worse (kinda old and stressed, while it looks shiny great when I eat carbs) and my teeth become very sensitive (this feels really worrying to me). Any ideas why?

This can hardly be calcium or water deficiency - I get a lot of both, also all fat-soluble vitamins.

Another peculiar detail is I mostly mean junk food under "when I eat carbs". Even a junk food 99% carbs diet somehow seems better for my teeth and skin than any sort of keto and/or fasting.

Some can. If you factor in the time it takes to get to the Airport and that you can bring luggage, suddenly even a long trip becomes viable.

What really sucks is that there’s no central way to book these trips that’s flexible when there’s train delays and you need to cross borders. I can book a flight from Germany to Italy that still reaches it’s destination, if delayed. I can’t book a discounted train trip, because if I lose the connection due to delays in one country, my connecting tickets are not changed. So I need to fly, even if I’d prefer to travel by train.

Stop posting this. You aren't funny.
I think you have tragically and entirely missed the point.
Yeah it was/is a mix of sarcasm and genuine use case. I do have a thing (almost) like this, but use it because I want the isolation of network, filesystem, and so on. I definitely hate that it requires so much (not 20G, but still big) for so little.
There's probably a way to do the thing and get a 1Kb binary in some Go with namespaces solution or something, which would be much better, but I don't trust myself to implement it correctly even if I spent the time to learn it. So I'm stuck with a horrible solution of a several GB Debian docker because musl/Alpine doesn't cut it

> I see some utility libraries in `base/common` for disposables management, eventing and actions that you are terming a "framework".

It is because you didn't look deep enough, VSCode for all intent and purposes has a "framework" that it is built on top of.

What is a frameworks anyways?

"Frameworks model a specific domain or an important aspect thereof. They represent the domain as an abstract design, consisting of abstract classes (or interfaces). The abstract design is more than a set of classes, because it defines how instances of the classes are allowed to collaborate with each other at runtime. Effectively, it acts as a skeleton, or a scaffolding, that determines how framework objects relate to each other."

If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably also Reacts like a duck.

> the rendering and organization logic would be mine.

This is cute and nice for a weekend project. But if you want to build commercially viable products or even a GA open-source software, "Mine" is of no value.

Good documentation, extensive testing, developer availability, on the other hand are far more important.
I continue to marvel at how often simple non linear tricks add some joy to interactions online. Or, in the case of colour perception are fundamental to understanding why two colours may not be perceptibly different enough to some people.

The odd thing is that humans do not always understand acceleration. Don't run away from a fire uphill, in a belief it travels as fast (semi constant) across level ground: fire accelerates up hills.

Kids rapidly learn the rate of movement across ground for a thrown ball but not always just how fast it will be moving under gravity when it smacks into your hands.
It reminds me of the general idea of generative adversarial networks where instead of a teacher and learner, you have a one trying to learn real inputs from fake inputs while the other tries to trick the first with fakes, with both training each other and the ultimate goal is to have the latter create realistic fakes.

I'm sure it's been or is being researched, but since I'm new to LLMs, my immediate thought was having code-aware models where one tries to find and fix vulnerabilities in a codebase while another tries to exploit them where the ultimate goal is to secure a codebase.
Dragon Ball Z was my favourite cartoon growing up. Rest in peace
London's Victoria line was built for "cross-platform interchange" like that (often by having its lines arrive on the "outside" of another line, so that both tracks were alongside same-direction tracks). Nowadays it's something they generally avoid, on the grounds that it reduces circulation space - with the system running close to capacity, they prefer to have everyone walk further so that the crowds spread out a bit.

To emphasize, I agree with everything you've said, but I don't really think "code sharing" is the right metric. The important boost from my perspective is that it makes it much easier for front end devs to unblock themselves for relatively small issues, and it also makes it much easier for any dev to debug when they can easily follow the code through the whole stack.

E.g. in the past I've seen it take weeks (that is, one or two sprints' worth) to add a teeny bit of data to the front end. Reason being the request had to go to the back end team, then it had to get prioritized and added to the sprint, yada yada everyone's been there. When everything is in the same language I've seen front end devs be much less reticent to just make the change themselves.
I love the writing and the perspective.

Somehow, I haven't seen the juxtaposition of ratchet vs lever before and that lens feels really powerful. I recently had a mechanical design problem where this view might even be literally helpful.

At the risk of losing all my meaningless internet points, I have to confess that Rust just doesn't feel like a ratchet or a lever to me. It feels a lot more like a large, iron shackle.

Maybe I'm alone in that feeling.
Not surprising as the Firefox devs invested a lot of effort into high-quality, gamma-correct subpixel text rendering that worked well with hardware accelerated compositing. One of the reasons I stuck with it.

Reading through one of the GTK4 issue threads, it seems that one problem with early versions was an insufficient gamma correction strategy.

The functionality on offer here is equivalent to about 30 lines of Github Actions YAML to install verilator, run the tests, and upload the coverage information. [1]

Generating waveforms is free, Verilator already does that if you pass it the appropriate argument, either --trace or --trace-fst. We usually control that with a single CMake option.

Complex workflows can get nutty, but what's illustrated here is not a complex workflow.

> Companies never seem to want offer more expensive products with cheaper use costs.

A recurring revenue stream, often via subscription, ideally with vendor lock-in, seems to be en vogue, judging purely anecdotally. You saw it in printers and razor blades, but "x as a service" is everywhere, seemingly increasingly so now. Rolls Royce does it for jet engines with their "power by the hour" program, for example (and has for decades).

From a seller business/investor standpoint, consistent net recurring revenue can often be better due to the predictability and planning it enables. Also it's easier to "hook" a consumer with a lower up-front price.

From a buyer standpoint, it's often easier to get approval for operational expenses than capital expenses, whether from higher management, or from investors. Also consumers often simply won't do the math to compare the two models, simply picking the cheaper one and then totally ignoring OpEx.

It's truly a tragedy that lagging interest in Dragon Ball deprived us of twenty years of his output. I'm thankful we got to appreciate his stunning return for the last nine.
Why is this being buried even though it’s being upvoted a lot?
I really don’t get the general attitude about comments that prevails. “Good code should be self explanatory” blah blah blah. As if “explains itself” weren’t a pretty damn wishy washy and relative guideline.

And I’ll push back against absolutist arguments about never writing about the “what” too.

So much moaning and whining about the possibility that the comment might get out of sync with the code. Oooh so scary.

Lazy reviewers are the real problem there.

At this point I’m almost a specialist in doing deep dives and deciphering what spaghetti code is actually doing and why. And I make damn sure to write comments to help out the next poor soul.
It makes that history harder to read. The same piece of logic can move across files and modules and functions over the years. While it's possible to go past each of them and trace that code past those moves, it takes time and effort to do so.
Not to mention the Dragon Quest series!

I've never been an anime fan, but Dragon Ball/Dragon Ball Z will always hold a place in my heart. Last year, I decided to read the series manga—the first and probably only I will ever read. In the forward of each volume, Toriyama talks about random little details of his life, like talking about his pets, a painful dentist visit, etc. This is probably common practice in manga, but as a westerner who has never seen such things, it was absolutely charming, and I enjoyed those glimpses more than I ever would have expected.

Rest in peace.
Yep. The first words of the paper are “In mice…”

Thank you forever for designing the Dragon Quest Slime. Just a blue Hershey's kiss with a face, but it brings so much joy.
Oh my, the Dragon Ball series of comics are wonderful memories from my childhood! I even want my kids to read these comics now! I hope Akira can rest in peace.
Yes. LEO is "halfway to anywhere" but only halfway, boosting up to a high earth orbit requires significant amounts of fuel, getting all the way out of earth's gravity well takes more, and to get to the sun would take even more than boosting all the way out of the solar system. If they put them in an orbit "next to" the ISS then atmospheric drag would eventually carry them down until they burned up (even the ISS itself needs to be regularly boosted or it would eventually fall down) but that way it's unpredictable and uncontrolled (and there's always the risk of them hitting a satellite or something), a planned re-entry burnup is generally thought to be safer.
70+ upvotes in 20 minutes, and it's rapidly slipping off the front page.

Dang: Are the mods nuking this story? If so, is this not a big deal for much of the HN readership?

Akira Toriyama was an icon for me during my adolescent years. I'm guessing most millennials here were similarly exposed to his work, and that it meant a lot to many amongst the readership here. Toonami, Adult Swim, early Internet culture...

The early web was highly topical place (personal webpages, forums), and one of those common topics was Dragonball. It was everywhere, and by percentage at a volume that can't be matched today by anything.

Edit: The ISS story at #1 is an hour old and has half the upvotes this article does. This story briefly topped, then rapidly started sinking (currently #13). What gives?
