It's actually pretty substantially different in that mastodon's instances/servers are everything whereas here each part is separate and you can generally use multiple of each.

Bluesky has:

Identity via DIDs. With web DIDs this identity is tied to your domain name and there is no bluesky infrastructure associated with it. It's 100% in your hands (but you can't change names or domains easily). But alternatively you can use a plc DID which does use their centralised infrastructure (currently) while allowing you to easily change your name or domain. With these you get one DID per account.

PDS (personal data servers) or "data repositories" that hold your post content. You can self host this or use Bsky's central PDS. You can only use one of these per account.

Indexers that aggregate posts from all the PDS/data repos. These create what bluesky calls "the firehose".

Relays that route and cache traffic.

App views which give you your actual application like bluesky.

Feed services that give you your "algorithm" for what your page looks like. You can subscribe to as many of these as you like or host your own.

Then you finally get labellers like what is discussed here. Compared to with mastodon you can follow multiple labellers at the same time. Those labellers can provide automated content warnings, etc or manual moderation. But importantly at the end of the day no matter what the labellers do, you control how they act and whether they are just a warning/blur or if they actually hide the content.

----

That all compares to mastodon where everything is tied up under one server/instance and your control over moderation boils down to "run your own instance and do all the mod work yourself" or "rely on some other instance with no oversight whatsoever".

This isn't to say that mastodon's approach didn't make sense at the time but like you said the bluesky approach makes quite a bit more sense and makes it way easier for the user to move around between their options.
I still mourn the disappearance of the game development and distribution scene that Flash made possible. It seems like all we have these days are walled-garden app stores filled with pay-to-win, ad-filled games.
Also a Mac user for nearly 2 decades. I don't care too much about most of the things mentioned in the article but I absolutely agree with you about the new System Prefs.
Sorry if I was unclear. I wasn't trying to imply that it did or didn't directly involve the retina, just that it seemed suspiciously related to the arrangement of receptors on the retina, and I was curious why.

If you had a spreading pattern of bad data in VRAM, it's unlikely that the physical arrangement of the bits would map well to the current screen resolution and give a circle or box shape on screen, for example.
On MacOS, it’s less buggy than the multiple workspace feature (green maximize button), and still sort of provides multiple desktops.

That reminds me: I should check to see if I can switch to Asahi Linux and literally any other window manager yet.
I say this as someone who is a regular user of TikTok and enjoys it: I don't see why something with the same intent wasn't presented years ago on the grounds of reciprocity. US social media applications have been banned in China for over a decade, so why should Chinese applications be able to flourish in the US?
The distinction kind of matters though. Monopolies are terrible and to be avoided but if you're going to have one, e.g. because roads are a natural monopoly, then you damn well want it to be an elected body and not a for-profit corporation that will do everything it can to extract monopoly rents from everybody in its fiefdom.
Thank you for the clarification.

> our censorship (if we're really going to call it that)

With the possible exception of spam filtering, yes, we should call it that. I'm sure I would agree with many of those censorship decisions, such as e.g. YCombinators decision to censor things harming intellectual curiosity, but just because we agree with some censorship, doesn't make it not censorship. It's important to keep language free of little lies like using milder terms when we want to present something in a better light, because these little lies add up and become habits of both speech and thought.
Virtually everyone wants to improve software and make it more secure. We're approaching it from different angles and it's being confused for disagreement on the topic.

There's a lot of value in having good faith discussion from each perspective so we can mitigate downside risk while enhancing the upside goal. I'm eager to hear your thoughts on the undeniable problems restated in my previous replies.

Google is not a good example -- they're technically competent and were already doing work in Rust. It seems like focusing on small software shops still writing C++89 code would be better thing to focus mental energy on. Are there any examples of those kind of businesses using this WH report to steer their roadmaps or technology directions?
Have been renting in Boston for two years because I go to school here, I'm renting again next year. It's not uncommon in my zip code for rents to be raised $150-200/bedroom/month every year. The green line is 300ft from my house, yet when I worked downtown, the journey (~3 mi) routinely took 40 minutes or more. The neighborhood I live in has only one store, a Stop and Shop, and it's incredibly expensive, compared to stores in adjacent neighborhoods. Everything just seems overwhelmingly pricey here, and for little actual value.
If the government can stay back far enough that more than one AI company can train their models, it will end up working like steel mills - barely enough profit to pay the massive cost of capital due to competition. If the government regulates the industry into a monopoly, all bets are off. Their investors are going to push hard for shutting the door behind them so watch out.

The only question is - what tactic? I don't really know, but one trick I am aware of is "specifying to the vendor." In other words, the introduction of regulatory requirements that are at every step in the process a description of the most favored vendor's product. As the favored players add more features, potentially safety features, those features are required in new regulations, using very specific descriptions that more or less mandate that you reproduce the existing technology, to use a software engineer's term, bug-for-bug. If your product is better in some ways but worse in others, you might have a chance in the market - but to no avail, if the regulations demand exactly the advantages of the established suppliers.
One of the realisations I only really had in my early 30s is that whether or not it's raining is much more localised than I thought. It can be raining here, and not at the shops a suburb over.

The percentage chance of rain includes whether or not it might rain in your specific dot of a given forecast area, which might be a suburb or entire city, as spelt out in your quote "at any given point in the forecast area".

The first time I drove over the Nullarbor in Australia, which has an entirely flat and straight 100+ KM section of road, I got to see rain far in the distance and experience driving into it having been able to clearly see it's edge from far out. That was an experience I had never had in the costal city I live in (Perth). That also led into similar realisations as the above.

It sounds so simple in theory but was not obvious to me for a long time :)
But if you can pick what you’re predicting on and pick the percentage you assign to an event, I fail to see how that gives you a calibration.
Premium is definitely not luxury as you implied, and is definitely not a premium automaker in any sense of the word.
Our theory of gravity is valid without dark matter or dark energy
Instantly discarded. If every candidate starting doing this, my days would be spent playing RPG Maker-esque piles of rubbish
Another possibility from another top-level comment

"I remember reading in The Signal and The Noise* that people _think_ that forecasts are bad if it rains, but the chance of rain was reported as below 50%. Getting rain when the forecast told you there would probably not be rain is annoying; getting a sunny day when the forecast predicted likely rain is a pleasant surprise. To get what people judge to be a ‘good forecast’, the chance of rain has to be adjusted to be wildly too high - so that’s what consumer-focused forecasters do."

I thought this part was interesting, in the Discussion:

> Park et al reported that daily consumption of 200 mL of pomegranate vinegar for 8 weeks significantly reduced total fat mass in overweight or obese subjects compared with the control group without significantly affecting body weight and BMI.

If total fat mass decreases without significantly affecting body weight or BMI, that suggests a change in composition, doesn't it?

The pomegranate vinegar study they reference is this one: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S17564...
Closed court proceeding, lawyers only, and a jury of peers to know they exist then with enough proof without naming them.
>> Why do you think it's better?

It's faster.
It's always on.
I can host at home, I don't need to host on someone's else server.
The web part more secure - most everything is over HTTPS now.
I can buy almost anything I want online.
I can easily find information on just about anything.
I can easily find videos showing me just about anything.
I can (formally or informally) learn about any topics, to whatever depth I like.
I can correspond with people all over the world, in real-time.
I can work remotely from home.
I can do remote support by seeing people's screens and see what they are doing.
I can keep up to date with world affairs by reading a couple well-selected web sites.
I can monitor the health of hardware remotely.

I could go on. But if a few web sites selling stuff is your main objection to the whole internet, then, I suggest you're letting imperfection get in the way of magnificent.
Okay, HN strips not only U+2026 but three simple dots as well. Wonder how to show that a part was erased between "valid" and "without" in the title then.
Safety as in undefined behavior isn’t in a subset of the language or safety as in memory safety? Because Rust tries to do more than memory safety and it’s quite amazing. Integer overflow isn’t an unheard of problem. The 787 had an integer overflow problem in C about a decade ago. The most recent drama with the entire FCU going dark seems eerily similar to what you might expect where a watchdog would reboot it.
It still has the 7 day limit for apps, so if you go on a vacation your apps stop working, or if you stop running the sideloadly software in your home network they also do.

It also doesn't have a linux version, so it's unusable for hacker news users, since all of us only run linux machines in our homes.

Also, closed source, just use altserver which I think is actually open source, and does the same thing but better tested
There's a single frame where you can see the explosion appears to begin nearly right in the center of the rocket.
Password manager. Please, do it. It is a substantially better solution than a notebook.

- It's always up to date

- Previous values are kept (but hidden)

- It encourages stronger passwords

- Its automation makes it harder for people to put passwords into the wrong/phishing sites.

- You can share passwords across a group

- Remote administration

- Distributed possession: You have them on your phone out and about, you have them at your desk.

Really, a password manager is a really great tool. I don't know your family but I strongly recommend using and supporting one.
Why are rockets always blowing up? Feels like we should be past the point of that being a regular occurrence.
The mobile platforms were a chance to reboot that part, and have browser do a lot more UI wise with custom handling of the different data types (dates, passwords, phone numbers, ranges etc.)

It just didn't pan out to tablets and desktop computers. But it might not be too late ?
There’s a difference between full stack and solo developers. There’s absolute overlap, but being aware of the stack and actually being the person who put it all together are different.

All my solo projects I was intimately familiar with. Start adding people and you naturally start losing complete grasp of the project.
They removed Secure Delete because it doesn't work with SSDs due to the way they work at the hardware level (wear leveling).
My laptop wakes itself at midnight (somewhere around 12:30pm) and tries to install an update, but it fails every time and just hangs at the lock screen. Because the update is never properly installed, the device will boot up every night until I manually run "Update and restart". Ended up me killing windows update completely.
Except brakes, since they are rarely used due to regenerative braking. Tires, on the other hand, do wear faster than a lighter ICE car. My EV has almost 30,000 miles now and will need tires soon, but other than washer fluid, it has had no other consumables or wear items replaced.

Though to be fair, the tires on my previous ICE vehicle only lasted about 30,000 miles before they needed to be replaced, OEM car tires are often not long lasting. Brake fluid is due to be flushed next year, but not due to use of the brakes, just due to time.
Software Engineering and Computer Science don't necessarily mean the same thing (even though at this point, most schools with CS programs just teach software engineering anyway).
> On the other hand, no 787 or A380 has ever had a crash or incident that resulted in a passenger fatality or hull loss.

There have been nearly 10x as many 737s built as 787s and A380s combined. Given the date of first flight (1967 vs. 2009 and 2203, respectively) it is safe to say they have been flown for significantly more than 10x the total flight hours. Probably at least 20x but I’m pulling that number out of thin air.

The data is certainly promising but it’s probably a little too soon to be too confident in relative safety comparisons. For one, we don’t have nearly as much data on those newer airframes as they age.
Oh hey! Just want to say thanks for obsidian. Just opened your app a second ago to write my notes about Miyazaki Airport, where I'm at. Works great on mobile.
I've been really enjoying Mark Manson's The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck podcast. He's the best selling author of a book by the same name. Despite the crude name there is a great deal of in depth discussion on a variety of interesting topics and some interesting guests.
F22's maintenance burden was vastly higher than the F35, which is still quite expensive.

Costs are also somewhat weirdly calculated, by just taking hours flown / cost. Maybe we could fly the jet a lot more for a modest increase in cost, & the numbers would look much better. But we don't fly that much, especially given the teething issues (such as the oxygen supply issues) we've had. There was a really great report I think based on GAO or maybe direct from GAO that covered f35 expenses very closely, comparing across services over time, that really was interesting to see; haven't found the link again though alas.

The F35 is also a far more advanced sensor & communication system, I believe. F22 was a more conventional stealth where the pilots got the mission, got on the air, & kept minimal emissions to the target & hopefully back; the f117 I think had similar characteristics. This isn't nearly as general purpose a role.
It's a shame this is used as an excuse to keep the heavy ICE SUVs and trucks. There are many EVs lighter than an average pickup truck.

If people really cared about this, they'd demand train-based public transport instead (no tires! fully electric! self-driving too!), or at very least limits on car weight regardless of the engine.

To answer directly, I actually really love the Framework conceptually. What they're doing is immensely important for notebooks, and I'd love to see Apple follow suit one day (but I doubt that'll ever happen).

I just can't stand Linux. I've tried several distros and after using macOS since 2009 and Windows since 1995, I just can't be bothered by all the things Linux distros lack, if muscle memory for the other two aren't already the biggest obstacle for me.

I am insanely efficient on macOS, and I almost never have to think about global hotkeys, global search & calculations, managing apps & settings, and seeing nearly zero interruptions while I work -- including popups, notifications, performance dips (if I'm being reasonable with my usage), OS UI bugs, etc.

These all do occasionally happen, but never to the extent I see in popular Linux distros and even Windows. It's just a fact, after nearly 30 years of first-hand usage and comparison.

I also use macOS because it is as extensible and open as I need it to be for downloading and installing packages, and customizing the OS to suit my needs -- which is something iPhones can't do without jailbreaking and such.

I've never owned an iPhone, and seldom use my iPad. I'm an Android guy, and being able to sideload apps in rare, but important, moments is important to me. The openness of Android has been important as well, namely the fact that Firefox has always been allowed to use its own browser engine since the start, enabling the same freedoms I have using it on desktop platforms, as a primary example.

Brakes. Different thing
> And if you don't trust an app vendor without Apple's underpaid Chinese reviewers

This misses the mark so badly that it’s not even worth reading the rest.

App Review is based out of Sunnyvale and has more than 300 people that make on average $85k/y in their first few years, and mostly over $100k/y after three years.

Long tenured people, the ones that last more than 5 years and are advancing towards a decade of doing the work get close to $200k/y with some exceptions over that number.

Many of those 300 people are multilingual, some specialize in a specific language, but to expand and better serve non-English markets, Apple recently opened a branch in Ireland and one in Shanghai.

The latter mainly focusing on the Chinese market and the one in Ireland specializing in European languages and supplementing the English market.
That's not even remotely the same argument.
> I’ve come to the conclusion that these subversive mentally ill people don’t deserve the freedom of speech, they deserve to be committed. Why on earth are we giving our enemies the freedom of speech and a platform they can use to destroy us with?

Torba discovers the paradox of tolerance, and people whose speech he doesn't like don't deserve freedom of speech.

Horseshoe theory is real. But we also know that Torba genuinely believes that actual demons have spammed Gab in the past.

I'm afraid I don't get your point either. Hit man?

The police overreached here, and the only thing that protected the victim was, of all things, Twitter.

The police are supposed to be the good guys, but that obviously wasn't the case here. My comment was merely expressing surprise at the irony of the situation.
Drum brakes that I've worked on often have a lot of dust in the drum. Which is a good thing because all of that dust is not in the air. But of course they are not anywhere close to being sealed.
"but as a blogger, it's very difficult to reach your audience"

I think you mean "target audience", but honestly if you're having difficulty reaching them, then maybe it's about the content more than Lobsters policies. Or maybe you have targeted the wrong audience and should target one that wants to listen.

Your post is just a useless rant, and for all the complaining that bloggers have a hard time reaching an audience you didn't even bother to link to the blog post that got the person banned on lobsters. That to me seems like a very basic thing to do if you're standing up for someone and for something you disagreed with. Show me what was so important that it deserved the privilege of self-promoting on someone else's site. You yourself are unwilling to promote them, why would anyone else want to? If it's as to what you post, I am not shocked it's hard to get an audience.
Coming from Linux with X11, I really can’t get used to fractional scaling for the same reasons you mention.

Sadly, the Linux world decided to go with Wayland, which explicitly copies this brain damage from MacOS.

MacOS implemented it for backwards compatibility reasons, not because it makes any technical sense. Linux + X11 started where MacOS wished it could be, but then they somehow forgot the history.

Anyway, I’m hoping one of the *BSD’s gives me another 10 years of being able to set the font size without blurring/fisher pricing everything else.
A lot of these companies are either trying different things or doing the same thing and no one is sharing their secret sauce.

They are not insurmountable challenges but each team building rockets from scratch have to go through them. I think it's vital to the long-term success anyway. Easier to learn from your own mistakes than someone elses.

Firstly, you're free to continue using Reddit. Clearly nothing is stopping you doing that.

Secondly, it's not like reddit is the only forums on the internet. The internet is as full, probably fuller, of communities than it's ever been. If you're only used to reddit (which clearly you're not, since you're here) I encourage you to explore a bit and find out where else you'd like to hang-out.

Thirdly, it's easier now than ever before to host your own forums. That way you can offer the free service you desire to many other people. And it'll cost you next to nothing since you can literally host it from home.

The change that is constantly happening brings opportunity.
So, is that basically app-armor for windows? You define which file/netowrk/process a program can access, while not result in a full container resolution like docker/snap/flat pack/uwp.
There's a really good reason why caricature of a highly intelligent individual is a rocket scientist. Engineering rockets that go where you want them to go safely is still a really hard problem!

They don't grease the cross beams on ceilings though, and those things are nasty in train stations. Same stuff you see creeping up the walls around the tracks in the subway tunnel. Not a competition though, the pollution is bad and we're all so used to it.
Congratulations, you lack even the mental capacity to see that I was explaining the situation not defending it. How do you manage to breathe on your own I wonder.
I think this is a decent analogy, but as the sibling says, the mechanics are quite different.
