Easier, maybe, but the users are still married to the platforms, now with the added annoyance that there is no cross-talk between the apps at all. Network effect is a huge thing, and the only difference between iMessage and Whatsapp for example is that Whatsapp doesn't have the hardware to lock the users into.

So getting back to the original point, OP bemoans that in order to communicate with some people, one has to have an iPhone. With other apps, you just need to have the specific app. Maybe not as bad, we could say, but the phenomenon is the same: in order to contact some people, you have to install their specific app. No other way in.

No, it's not. Carriers limit the attachment sizes quite severely, but that's not an inherent limitation of MMS.

This is actually a bug, not a feature, as it enables all kind of robocalls and sms spam. That's why I love the iPhone feature that allows me to block all the calls from numbers not in my contact list. It does not allow this for SMS though...

That depends on who you consider the user. If it's the person buying managed redis, then this license change doesn't affect any user freedoms.

> Rather than allowing multiple gigabytes of outstanding buffered writes and deferring writeback until a gigabyte or more has accumulated, you'd set things to trigger writebacks almost immediately and then force processes doing write IO to wait for disk writes to complete once you have more than a relatively small volume of outstanding writes.

I think having the trigger be size based rather than timebased is the real problem. Or bounds on both...

I probably don't want to buffer writes for more than X seconds, or let the buffer grow beyond Y% of ram. At least for the time based limit, you'd really want to be able to say start writing to disk when the buffer has data over 10 seconds old, but still accept writes into a new buffer, only blocking writes when there's a buffer being written out and the current buffer is too old or too big.
Congratulations on the launch!
Personally would love to see a rough estimates of the expected number of requests and tokens required to run tasks like synthetic data generation for different amounts of data. Though this is likely highly variable, would like to have a loose idea of possible incurred costs and execution time.

You can generally assume at any hotel with keycards, that any other guest who wants to can get into your room.

The only question is whether they do some hacker shit, or whether they just go to reception and say "My keycard isn't working, I'm in room 123" and reception gives them a new keycard for room 123, with no ID check and no questions asked.

Luckily thieves are relatively rare and 97% of hotel rooms just contain a suitcase of second-hand clothes.
Github can't even recognize syntax, let alone provide semantic diffs! In fact, Github can't even tell that foo.cpp.in is different from foo.mk.in! Any foo.t is declared to be Perl, with no way to fix it…There are a decade-old tickets!
Hi, this looks super polished, congratulations. I've got a couple of questions:

- Does the metadata editing allow it to write back to the file, storing the edited metadata in a sidecar or in the EXIF data?
- Does it support some kind of auto-stacking? E.g. having raw files alongside exported tiff/jpg and recognizing that they are the same file? Especially for a nextcloud based solution, that'd be awesome
Turning off bounds checks is like a 5% performance penalty. Turning off prefetching is like using a computer from twenty years ago.

>> find the GCD (greatest common divisor) of the smallest and largest numbers in an array

Just for a short comparison, In J the analogous code is </ +. >/

Where / is for reduce, +. is for the GCD, the LCM is *.

The basic idea of J notation is using some small change to mean the contrary, for example {. for first and {: for last, {. for take and }. for drop (one symbol can be used as a unary or binary operator with different meaning. So if floor is <. you can guess what will be the symbol for roof. For another example /:~ is for sorting in ascending order and I imagine that you can guess what is the symbol for sorting in descending order. In a sense, J notation include some semantic meaning, a LLM could use that notation to try to change an algorithm. So perhaps someone could think about how to expand this idea for LLM to generate new algorithms.

How complex is it to configure memories? I own a hosted instance of NextCloud from Hetzner, but I would rather not misconfigure it. Also, is there a mobile app? I think not having one is limiting, since most of the time I want to look at the pictures on the phone
> Phones are unique in the consumer space because of how—

—they were marketed as phones that can compute, instead of as computers that can phone.

That's the crux: people would never have accepted the restrictions on computers like the iPhone, if that thing were instead sold as a general computer called the iPalm or similar. But since it's sold as a phone, any thing else it can do is more easily perceived as a bonus, and we hardly feel the restrictions at the beginning.

Only people who see smartphones for what they really are, general purpose palmtops that can make phone calls, can really perceive the egregiousness of those restrictions. The first step then, is generalising this understanding to everyone.

A good first step, I think, would be to start naming those things more accurately. I'd personally suggest "palmtop".
How is RISC-V going to solve anything here?
I don’t think this analogy works because you could have bought the competing chair - which proponents of loudly claim is better than the Apple chair - and gotten similar service. As a matter of fact I’m told the competing chair is much better, and not only that it’s cheaper! And I’m an idiot for buying the Apple chair

Buy the competing chair. This is not a monopoly.

We've got a hundred tenant multisite running on WP and have been looking at other options over the last couple of weeks. I am most interested by PayloadCMS https://payloadcms.com/blog/how-to-build-a-multi-tenant-app-... . However our CMS needs, for this product, are very simple, so Payload suits.

We've also been looking at a multitenancy option for WordPress, in particular using Gridpave https://gridpane.com/kb/using-gridpane-multitenancy/ but you need the $5000 annual dev pro plan (annual for unlimited sites). We use Gridpane already on their lower cost plan and have found it excellent value for money.

We will probably go with Payload. WP is getting messier by the day. With the AI coding tools getting better and better it feels like having as much flexibility as possible will have a huge benefit down the line.
Ikigai is one of these concepts, that I suspect to be mostly substituted by western life coach BS, which mostly means common sense application of modern-ish western philosophy to daily life including work. Unfortunately, when it is presented through the lens of someone who has lived in Japan for 7 months, this hardly changes my biased view.

All you would need to replace this is a messaging app that uses email addresses as identifiers and then falls back to sending messages via email if the recipient doesn't have the app.
The lack of transparency with this stuff is really annoying.

I guess they want to hide it from users so their admins aren't flooded with users complaining or something? Or so spam bots keep running in circles? But it's ripe for abuse and false positives. Most users wouldn't know what "shadow banned" even means or that it exists.
Try your best not to swallow.
It's not artificial. SMS is terrible on its own, and that's none of Apple's fault. It's not like Android users are getting together and happily having SMS/RCS group chats.

Seems like the health benefits would typically be viewed as the byproduct of the practice. I doubt many people explore philosophy directly for their health.
Truth is truth, no matter the tone it is given in.
The real question is : is it Apple’s role to protect people against Facebook or Google ? I mean, if you want to be protected against Facebook, just delete the app.

It’s the role of regulators to stop data hoarding.

Also this narrative is complete bullshit from Apple since those protections never came from App Store’s policies enforcement but from iOS sandboxing mechanisms which are not going to disappear for sideloaded apps.

I’m pretty amazed that on HN, of all the places, people still believe the narrative that the Apple reviewing process can enforce app behavior while all they’ve got to review is a binary. The App Store reviewing is just there to check if you are loyal into Apple.
if apple didn't do it's shenanigans, RCS or something similar with a
different name would've have replaced MMS by now.

The only reason there's any RCS interoperability right now is because most carriers have bought into the Google RCS stack. Before that you absolutely had to be aware of which carrier the recipient was using. If memory serves T-Mobile is running both a Google and non-Google RCS stack. RCS is and was a mess.

Hell, if you've a rooted Android you can't access Google RCS and any RCS messages sent your way will disappear into the ether.
Is that why Facebook is such a nice and balanced website?
> From a hardware standpoint third party fitness trackers with full integration into iHealth and third party ear buds with the same (or better) features than airpods.

As someone who makes apps in the health space, I couldn’t care less if other tracker data was integrated into HealthKit. HealthKit honestly sucks - it's some bastard of objc naming schemes and methods jammed into Swift. The async is horrible to debug, too. No one has a good time in HK.

The issue with other trackers is that they are more locked down than Apple. You can't just get HR from Oura for instance - and that's not a health kit issue either.
> Another problem is that many packages have been sitting waiting for critical bug fixes for months. I'm not sure what their focus is, but they really aren't particularly suitable for use as a desktop or server OS.

This is something that bothers me with all the containerisation yes.

If there is a big vulnerability in libssl found now, you just update your distro once and boom, everything that uses openssl is fixed.

Now with all these snaps you have to wait for every maintainer to incorporate the update in their package when they feel like it. It's a mess.

The US has a population of 300 million people. This works out to just $300 per person per quarter (or $1,200 annually). Given almost 20% of the population is over 65 (old people really put up the healthcare cost numbers) and the sophistication of our healthcare system (we have the tech to keep you alive or prolong your life despite pretty hairy stuff happening to you), it is not a very surprising number. The real question is how to afford it all.
Yes, this is an interesting challenge we are also excited about.
Could also say it was 'solved' 30 years ago with ICQ (OK, I know it was centralized and insecure, but from a strictly user-experience perspective I honestly liked it better than anything that came since) or maybe 35 years ago with IRC.

Long, long ago, I used a library called Augeas (https://augeas.net/) in a drift-detection product*, so that if we detected a difference in config files, either on the same server through time, or on different servers that were supposed to be similar, we could de-noise the diffs, and more importantly, let users write fine-grained, but syntax-tolerant, allow-lists like "this particular setting is allowed to differ"... or even "this particular setting can have one of the following list of values". :)

* the company was acquired by Splunk years after we shelved that product
So because phones are useful, lock-in should be prohibited? I don’t think that’s how the law reads. Should we also prevent lock-in for car parts, because there are infinite places to go in cars?
Processor designers are very unlikely to do that for you, because everyone not working on constant time crypto gives them a whole lot of money to keep doing this. The best you might get is a mode where the set of assumptions they violate is reduced.
Luckily, we have anti-trust and other forms of law and regulation specifically because assuming markets will alway provide meaningful choices has historically proven a bad assumption.
Super apps are a dud. China has them because the regulators want them, not because they're a good business.
LLM's-at-home are in a vastly different place than they were 10, 5, or even 2 years ago, so I'm not sure the assumptions about typical traffic from then hold true now.
> “ God designing us in an emergent manner or through a static blueprint are the same thing.”

Perhaps I’m misunderstanding you, but to me it seems like you have no argument with evolutionists. Your beliefs seem to permit evolution. I think your disagreement is actually with people that see evolution as evidence for atheism.
While the generative AI tools for musicians seem promising, I'm skeptical about how much they can enhance creativity and originality in music production. There's a risk of over-reliance on AI, leading to more formulaic and homogeneous music. The human element and the "soul" of music creation shouldn't be lost in pursuing technological convenience.
That explains it. Chances are I saw the black cans but bought a white one thinking they are all the same.

Never got the complaints with the official app. What's the issue?

Last time I asked someone this question they mentioned some power user stuff that didn't really apply to regular Reddit content consumers / casual posters.
dunno... I'm usually not logged it, I don't see main page, I use old.reddit and follow couple of subs via RSS only and it works... just fine. and the threading model on old ui still makes sens, and it's not as annoying as what fb puts on groups posts...
A bit presumptuous - many of the items on this list work for many people, even above the threshold of 'most'. It throws into doubt the author's credentials, and is probably more of a failing on their part that these items don't work for them.
"In addition to the project page being removed, all of the accounts of those who have contributed to the Suyu project have also been locked."

So Gitlab is worse then github when it comes to dmca requests.
Hotel keycards usually work by having dynamic data written to them at the front desk (as the locks are often not network connected, at least in older systems, so they write things to the card like "works for room 123 until March 30th noon and the gym" or "works for room 456; sequence number 2, invalidate all prior keys").

There are two types of magnetic stripe cards available: High-coercivity (HiCo) and low-coercivity (LoCo). The field-rewritable kind used in hotels is usually LoCo, to make the writers smaller and cheaper. But that also makes the cards much more prone to accidental corruption by magnets you might have on you, like earbuds, magnetic wallets etc.

Bank cards are usually only ever programmed once (these days), i.e. when they're issued, so they're usually HiCo, making them much more robust against that. In addition to that, magnetic stripe usage has been phased out for payment cards in most countries and is getting rare even in the US, so for all you know, and depending on where you live/shop, your magnetic stripes might have already been demagnetized without any adverse effects!

Bonus trivia question: Guess which kind NYC MTA Metrocards are :)

Edit: Oh, I just saw that you asked about contactless keycards! For these I actually have no idea, and I haven't had one fail on me yet.

I just know that they often use a similar scheme ("works for rooms x, y, z, until timestamp n"), sometimes with a bit of cryptography on top (often with a single shared key across all instances of the same lock and even across hotels...) but using non-networked locks, so there can definitely be synchronization/propagation issues too.
Exclusively, yes. Except for that second factor authentication they forced me to install on my phone (without which doing online payments would be a pain). I like and trust my Ubuntu laptop.

I do avoid Windows for those things, though.
I'd kill for an Apple-sanctioned way to load Linux VMs on my iPad and have them run at full speed. It's got an M1 in it, the virtualization hardware is there, Apple just doesn't want me using it.

As it currently stands, the options for Linux VMs on an iPad are:

- iSH, a Linux kernel ABI compatible user-mode x86 emulator that uses threaded code (ROP chains) as a substitute for a proper JIT, but doesn't support all x86 applications[0].

- UTM, a port of QEMU that requires JIT (and thus, either an external debugger or a jailbreak) to run a full x86 or ARM OS.

- UTM SE (Slow Edition), which is UTM but using the threaded code technique from iSH, which is not only slower than iSH because it runs both kernel and user mode, but also got banned from TestFlight before they could even make an App Store submission (probably because it can get to a desktop while iSH can't).

All of these suck in different ways.

Yeah, this isn't for me. I'm one of the degenerates the article mentions that often uses autorepeat on the spacebar (in fact, I usually only use autorepeat for three things: spaces, '-', and '=').

The article briefly addresses this, but only says that you're a terrible person if you do this, without explaining why. I'm curious about why I shouldn't, and what I should do instead.

In Apple Books, you can't decide which books you want to keep on your device.

The iOS keyboard/autocorrect is so terrible it's almost unusable. You can't even set a vibrating alarm on iPhone without enabling vibration everywhere, come on.
That’s what a GUI app is, though. You could say it’s the default way we interact with graphical apps. Web browsers, along with web-enabled platforms, add a bunch of extra stuff to that.

Many of us just want good, GUI apps for many things. They were often faster and lighter. VS Code is the exception to the rule which I use regularly.
