No TLE support is a not a goal. Languages/extensions in Postgres should only be marked as trusted if you can guarantee that they do not access Postgres internals or even the file filesystem. With Zig and in pgzx in particular we can not guarantee this to be the case.

With pgzx we provide you a number of utilities on top of the C API. But depending on the extension you are working on you might heavily use the Postgres internals and their C APIs as is.

Postgres has support for a number of languages. Some having their own strenghts or weaknesses. One strength of Zig is its closeness to C, while providing a many quality of live improvements over C (optional types instead of null pointer, generic data structures, ...). This makes it a formidable choice for extensions that want to integrate deeply with the Postgres internals.

Visa and Mastercard both charge a fee for operating a payment network. Apple does as well.
Yeah...but your average street tout doesn't have a $1,000 replica Rolex on a blanket -- they have a $20 Rolox. Also, those fake bags, watches, etc. don't have packaging. These "AirPods" came with boxes that were basically exactly like the real thing.

Obviously, any New Yorker knows about knockoffs, but these were qualitatively different. They were also prevalent for a week or two, and then seemingly disappeared...as if there was a sudden crackdown or something.

I think most people just like how simple the products are overall. I prefer that my family, who tends to need a lot of basic tech support, have iPhones because they’re able to figure most things out and there’s no real risk of them messing anything important up. I’ve also noticed this strange phenomenon that the majority of people who complain about iPhones and the apple ecosystem don’t even use them. If someone doesn’t like what the company offers, they’re not forced to buy any of their products. I hate the idea of needing to deal with multiple app stores in the future because people who don’t even use the products have some sort of issue with it.
I'm also in the UK and I'm not seeing the victim blaming part of it. I don't think it's a great term, given that I had no idea what it meant until I read the article. Then again, I would have assumed "financial grooming" was a service offered by a concierge banker to lower my direct debits. Out of the two phrases, I do feel that saying "my uncle is being butchered" will get law enforcement to act more quickly than saying that he's being "groomed".

I'm obviously missing some context or nuance here, since you're the second person to identify the connotation. Is it the "pig" part?
The game has regular updates, so sort of.

I hate to break it to anyone but most locked doors can be opened "in seconds" by a variety of means. For the most part the locked state is a signal of prohibition, rather than a meaningful enforcement thereof.

These are all good arguments in favor of Paul's assertion that "Reddit is unkillable".

I mean, people still use it despite a complete cluster-bombed design, intense push towards monetization at the cost of user experience, atrocious management and clear dictatorial tendencies from the top muffin, etc. It seems not even Reddit itself can kill Reddit despite their best tries.

It's in the nature of their moat: millions of tightly focused small forums, each easy to duplicate on their own, but together making the Reddit account a gateway to an enormous chunk of the user-generated internet. You open a Reddit, and not, say, a Telegram channel, because that's where the users are, ready to form a coherent community around your topic.

What might finally do Reddit in, or at least open vast markets for copycats, is its intense need to fit inside the narrow Overton window of American politics, in order to be palatable as a publicly traded company. This has already led to extremely heavy handed bans of major reddits and things can only get worse. If it reaches the breaking point, you will see a mass migration of not only the ideology driven communities, but also the neutral ones like fandoms, hobbyists etc., because they will move to where the users are.
He never uses “fun”

He says you have to be interested in it, it should excite you, and it should be your own project.

That’s absolutely not at odds with solving a problem. In fact, there’s a good chance that people are interested in solving a problem, likely one that is painful to you.
The big tech companies own and lease commercial property and are all trying to prevent the CRE landscape from completely detonating on them. They are all incentivized directly towards RTO and to loudly banging the drum about RTO to try to convince others not to defect.
This argument leads nowhere since it just as well applies the other way around.

Both are problems, both need solving.
Individual income taxes in the US are usually cash basis (it is poasible to change to accrual, but from what I understand it almost never makes sense for an individual to do so.)

> Thats a very hard simplification in a complex modern world.

Although I think the issues are complex, I disagree that the complexity of the modern world itself leads to this.

One of the core features of modernization has to do with the substitution of local communities with regional and global institutions. That alone changed many things.

It also does not help that our civilization keeps making this mistake: https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2010/07/26/a-big-little-idea-call... ... that is, the effort by modern institutions to make sense of the world in a legible way leads to imposing simplification on the world. The world was already complex, even in pre-modern times.

> The world doesn't need most of us, this was never the case in the past. I'm a smart person, i'm not needed because there are still enough even smarter people.

If we take a person's worth as a _quantity_, sure. We can reduce every person into a set of stats, similar to D&D character sheets, and every person fits into roles based upon those stats. Those stats make things more legible.

Each person, however, has a _quality_, and it is here one's unique purpose and contribution can be discovered. I didn't learn this from ikigai specifically; as one of the comments talked about, some form of this was widely known in pre-modernized cultures. Carol Sanford has been writing, talking, and practicing this as applied to the modern world for decades.

There's also the work of Christopher Alexander. His writings and work convinced me that modernity did not have to be designed this way.
I know because I compare the price on the vendors website versus the app. And I know that because I am up and up on how these things work, and I do not expect everyone else to be.

However, I was just making a factual statement that anyone can pay using their browser on iPhone or iPad on the vendor’s website, just the same as they can using their laptop.

At first I thought jcalvinowens meant they had actively tried to reproduce this bug for 100 machine hours, which would lend credence to "very very rare in practice". But in 100 machine hours of a typical workload doesn't really show anything about this bug. Also the bug was introduced in v6.5, so very very many btrfs users have avoided this bug for far longer than 100 machine hours.

I do agree it's "very very rare in practice". You need at least 3 threads racing on the same disk block in a ~15 instruction window, during which time you need the other thread to start and finish reading a block from disk. Which means you need very fast I/O and decryption and enough CPU oversubscription to get preempted in the race window. And it only happens when you actually hit disk which means once your machine is in a steady state, most metadata blocks you need will already be cached and you'll never see the bug.

That said, this is not some crazy 1-instruction race window with preemption disabled. With enough threads calling statx() in parallel and regularly dropping caches, I can reproduce it consistently within a few minutes. Way less than 100 hours :)
I really think he's trying to pussyfoot around his poorly-aged claim by changing the goalpost. Even in 2005, with Domino's order tracker, it was still a purposely-contrarian stance on what technology would allow us to do with food ordering in the near future. If this is considered a hill to die on, that's embarrassing.

> have maybe 20% of the activity they used to, before the API fiasco

Is that really true? I have been on reddit since day 0 and have noticed 0 change, absolutely nothing. Some communities went through a "we're now on lemmy" phase. But even that went nowhere. Reddit is still plagued by mods and all the other things, but the userbase is as powerful as ever
If their tight experience is so superior, why do they restrict competition? Wouldn't they win anyways?

IMO it's clear that without abusing its position, we would actually have competition for all of the bundled services from Apple.

But this is capitalism. The ultimate goal is always monopoly, so they'll keep chasing that by whatever means necessary.

>easy to make alternatives to Apple products

What? This is plain false. Entering this market is extremely expensive and hard to do. The duopoly is there for a reason. Even giants like Microsoft tried to enter it and couldn't.
But that path curvature of worldlines is in spacetime, the field of gravity. If you chose your worldline along the electromagnetic field instead, you'd see no "proper" acceleration when being pulled by the electromagnetic field and you would see "proper" acceleration due to gravity.

And to develop internal stresses, there needs to be some difference in the forces acting upon different parts of the body. Again, you are arbitrarily using free fall as your choice of a default state, against which you are comparing. If you instead chose being stationary on the ground, which would correspond to when you are in electromagnetic free fall, you would register an acceleration when in gravitational free fall.
Those barely exist... Microsoft Cloud Gaming is still in beta.
Cotton also shrinks when wet and has poor thermal properties - polymer blend fabrics perform better in the cold, and are lighter and cheaper than wool. Goretex is wonderful stuff, but its also made of '"forever-plastics" and is known to slowly leach into runoff. Finding a polymer that can be cleanly manufactured for a competitive price with similar properties would be wonderful, as long as theres also a method for it to degrade safely when discarded.
You're right - it's super easy to bounce around from one rich person to the next, trying to get fat cheques from them for your unproven and almost-certainly-going-to-fail hardware startup that would only work if enough other rich people also give you big cheques, based on nothing but a pinky-promise that you'll try your darndest to invent, manufacture, and sell cars well enough to get them their money back, one day, maybe, if all goes perfectly.

Why don't you do it too?
iMessage is the monopoly part. They could make an App or even just an API available on other platforms but don't because they want the lock-in.

> “The #1 most difficult [reason] to leave the Apple universe app is iMessage ... iMessage amounts to serious lock-in,” was how one unnamed former Apple employee put it in an email in 2016

Not getting on board with RCS or any other way to improve SMS/MMS until they were (implicitly) forced was motivated by that desire to lock their users in to a messaging platform that only works on Apple devices.
It's been exciting to see Docusaurus [1], VitePress, and Starlight [2] all under very active development, with the first two being React- and Vue-based respectively, and Starlight being built in the Astro Islands "bring your own UI framework" model. Docusaurus ended up feeling a bit too heavyweight and opinionated for my uses, and I've been happy with Starlight so far, with the developer/author experience being very similar to what I've seen during experimentation with VitePress.

I'm 40. I've been programming for 30 years. I get turned down for jobs all the time but it's almost always during the coding interview where I get asked to solve some brain teaser that has nothing to do with real work. The most ironic questions are the ones the interviewer doesn't even know how to solve (this has happened 3 times now).
Yes. Any org. A few million dollars guarantees you unrestricted access to any network-connected system.

The upper bound of security is unable to make attacks with a 10 M$ return unprofitable. Raising the lower bar just raises the barrier to entry for new participants, it does not stop existing ones.

Most attacks do use basic techniques since a 10 M$ payout on 10 K$ cost is still better than 10 M$ payout on 1 M$ cost. No point wasting the good stuff when the basic and cheap stuff works just as well. But if you get rid of all the cheap ways in they will still attack using the more expensive stuff since the payout is still wildly profitable.
Yes all apps by the same developer have a shared container.

> Simples being you need to log in to multiple different apps, but things like data moving between them etc are also complications.

I don't think this is actually true. Specifically, once I've logged into one Google app (like Gmail), others automatically pick up the user (like Calendar), so it seems to at least be technically possible.
I would bet most people already know using an Apple product and agreeing to the Find My and other terms in intial setup means Apple is always tracking you. So a pop up from Apple saying that Apple is tracking you makes no sense, it is already known, and accepted by the device user.

Someone other than Apple tracking you, however, is notable, and so people (at least I) would always want to know if someone other than Apple is tracking me via software operating on the device.
Yep that's right. Every page has it's own statically rendered bundle. But if you have JS on then it can fetch a chunk and rerender the page client side as a SPA.

I built a cross chain crypto exchange aggregator
Hey! I just built MUWP. It helps you swap multiple crypto assets and bridge them to other chains. I find it super useful, especially in the current market. Let me know what you guys think.

What's super cool is that it's often the simplest way to do it without using a centralized exchange. MUWP is centralized (as it's not controlled by a DAO or whatever), but it's using decentralized exchanges and bridges.

I would love to gather some feedback, so if you hold crypto and want to play with it, let me know if muwp was useful to you.

Note: It's a beta, and you may experience some bugs, but funds are safe and can be recovered manually. Don't trust me (just as anybody in the crypto space), just swap like a dollar on Arbitrum and see for yourself!)

Discussion on the actual vulnerability post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39779195
The building where I rent have doorlocks from Scantron ( https://scantron.dk/ ) they use RFID keys to open locks, and last year someone discovered a way of creating masterkeys from any key because of the weak encryption used by MiFare Classic.

It took a journalist and a lot of e-mails and calls for my landlord to understand the problem, I suspect that Scantron were also downplaying the issue towards them. They finally budged and upgraded all the locks to use a better encryption scheme and re-issue keys.

My building have 197 apartments, each of them have at least 2 keys, I have to trust all of the tenants (and their friends), in order for my apartment not to get burgled, and if I were burgled my insurance wouldn't cover because there's likely no proof of entry.

Is Liu Cixin's Criticism of the Cultural Revolution Unusual in China? (2023)
Our markets, not even remotely isolated to semiconductor, are saturated in these bloated old businesses that are running on the razor's edge of financial ruin, yet every quarter are paying out catastrophic amounts of money in stock buybacks and generous compensation packages for the executives running them into the ground. It's beyond fucking parody at this point.

Also I wonder what the excuses will be once all the underdeveloped nations do what China did and actually develop. We have a finite number of exploitable countries on the planet with workers willing to work for pennies to assemble products. At SOME POINT this party is going to end, it has to.
What's "expensive" though?

I've long found it tragicomic that I could buy tickets for a flight to a different country for less than a ticket for the 30 minute bus or train ride to the airport.

I guess it's not quite that bad since Covid hit, but at least here in Norway train is often more expensive that flying between cities, including neighboring countries.

A bit of a rant, but I find it hard to believe pg goes on reddit much if this is how he feels.

I remember years ago reddit was a lot more like HN. The comment section (even for the main subs) was much more intellectual and critical.

People appeared to actually read posted articles. It was a thing where people would read the comment section before the article because everyone knew headlines were generally clickbait, and you could rely on some internet stranger to have analyzed the article and demonstrate the headline wasn't all as it seemed.

But now it seems that no one reads the articles at all or care for any sort of discourse with people with different opinions. Comments are filled with just jabs and pitchforks. No different than comment sections on news sites. Yet Redditors still seem to have the arrogance that it had developed over the years that their communities are better than those sites. And well, they used to be, but now they're just as bad.
I don't think Whatsapp gained anything by preventing this, if anything they gave people a little momentum to switching to another app. The one that clearly benefited was Apple, and I don't thing Whatsapp/Meta did it just to be nice.
Sorry if I came across as critical, I was mostly curious.

In the last project I worked on with an FPGA (Xilinx Zynq) and cameras, the embedded system that had fairly strict power budget and IIRC the whole design could dissipate something like 45W, which led to a rather impressive looking enclosure that functioned as a heatsink. There was of course a margin, but the thermal design was driven by how much power could be run through the system.
Teens get bullied if they show up as green bubbles in group chats. I've had people tell me they wouldn't want to show up as green bubbles to potential romantic partners. The iMessage lock-in effects are real.

You can't.
size matters, but publicly traded matters more.

like sometimes that bureaucracy is a good thing. i remember an uncle who worked for EMC talking to me about being a big company vs. small company person; each has an advantage.
Totally agree.

However, let’s not assume what the majority of iPhone user thinks. To that end, I thought it is interesting to add my very personal perspective.
