You really think there’s no reason whatsoever? I have to believe that’s disingenuous. It’s just a phone to me and all I need is basic phone features to work. That’s also the reason I’m still using my iPhone X, it works as a phone and for basic tasks if I don’t want to get onto my computer or grab my laptop. I care more about my phone simply working than having additional features I don’t value. I don’t want to have to download multiple app stores in order to get specific apps. I already have to deal with that when it comes to epic on PC and it’s a pain in the ass. It also is going to make having to help the tech support for the technically challenged in my family so much more of a pain. There is a platform available if I want the features and capabilities you’re bringing up. I’m not telling anyone that their android is a bad choice or that it doesn’t work for them. Why do android users constantly seem to be telling me to be unhappy with the iPhone and that I need things I don’t want.

The only point that you’ve mentioned that can be annoying is sending a video to a friend with an android but it’s not a big enough of an issue that I care enough to do anything about it considering google photos and or an iCloud link is easy.
> leaving behind only small to medium-sized businesses

I only partially agree. If you kill all big businesses your country will no longer be able to compete with outsiders in industries where economies of scale matter. A few examples: cars, computer chips, cloud computing. This in turn means a lot of jobs and talent will go elsewhere.

In the US during the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis I had some pretty strong opinions about banks. Is there any justification for having a mammoth bank that is "too big to fail"? (Serious question.)

Approaching "too big to fail" status might be a good marker for when a corporate entity needs to be split. We should not be beholden to oversized companies.
The concern is bad actors - that some random app (not your bank) gets access to NFC.

Choice isn't always good. Especially where consumers don't really understand all the implications. My mom doesn't benefit from choice here, she is actively harmed by it, she knows it, she uses Apple to avoid it.
> I'd have to argue that if your "very stable" software requires interfacing with very unstable external tools to work with a very popular language... eliminating that dependency is certainly an area for improvement!

I think you may misunderstand parser generation and what tree sitter does. You can't eliminate external scanners, and there isn't another choice for them than C.

If you were just using an existing parser than you never touched any program written in Rust.
As a Gen X dev, I think it's more nuanced than flat out age discrimination.

Young devs are naive and optimistic. They'll fall for "we're one big family here". They'll come to the "hackathon" that's just an excuse to crank out low quality feature work on the weekend. You can assuage their suspicion that management is floundering with a town hall full of cheery optimism.

I'm over all that shit. I know how to do my job and I love making things work, but I have no appetite for bullshit. I'm not putting in more than 40 hours and I'm not accepting less than 6 weeks of vacation.

I haven't experienced age discrimination yet, but I have a feeling that if I do, it will be for a job that I shouldn't want.
The main reason to use an editor is not included: multi-line commit meesages

I continue to see commit messages by people using IDEs that have long single line commit messages.

A short summary line, which shows as the one line commit message in gitk et al, then a detailed commit messages that can be pages long in some cases is the ideal form.

Some commits only need a 1 line message, but others need long detailed blocks of text. When this is the case, having that short summary, and a blank line separating the lengthy details gives correct presentation in all git tools.
Talking things out and changing the laws went so well in the EU.
I don't think this is comparable. The parent comment doesn't make a value judgment on whether the strategy of using the Linux utility is a comparable offering; it's just a potentially suggestion to try to help when it seems like someone is frustrated with the solution they currently have. Giving a highly technical way of doing something isn't inherently a problem; the issue is when someone claims that it's more than sufficient and that no easier way needs to exist, but that didn't happen here.
That isn't a tax. It is a cost. In the same way you probably don't look at the overhead a clothing store puts on every pair of jeans you buy. You don't have to buy those jeans from that store, but you should realize that every store has a "tax" on clothes they carry.

Apple isn't abusing its ecosystem if users prefer it. I don't follow this logic on your second point.
Yea I think this should be possible! I'll add it in.
> Tree-based knowledge organization doesn’t work

It works if you accept some degree of duplication but I have seen many people screech over this
I like the iPhone in general but there’s a ton of things I need to keep an old Android around for, because of functionality apple blocks for no good reason: connecting to many non approved bluetooth devices, vehicle gauges and other useful driving data in carplay, etc.
This is not enough. It's good, but definitely not enough.
None of these require allowing alternative app stores. Just allowing more apps in. You don’t have to use these apps, and theres nothing inherently insecure about it.
These are all available in the US but it sounds like you have the same problem we do. There are way too many of them and they aren't compatible.
Of course there are rules. I think I read your comment carefully enough to make a statement, what I did.

The people are demonstrating here before approval, after approval and even while the construction. It's all possible and is covered by our law.

Actually:

Tesla wants to extend its plant. The people living around that plant decided "no!" (Which I personally do not understand). There is a forest of monoculture trees beside that - the demonstrators have built tree houses and living now in it. They want to fight (and often did that already..). Extension of the plant is approved too..

The digging up of brown coal - the same. Here, it took like felt 5 years to remove all the demonstrators..

The pipelines, the power lines , the renewal wind energy generators - the people are demonstrating against all all the time. And it's approved too.. sometimes the projects are changed because of that, sometimes the police must regulate...

But in the end, shot by water cannon is only possible if there is violance going of the demonstrators. If there's a possible solution for a change in project, then often the change is done. As I said. Demonstration is a human right and is also being written under the basic rights :)

If you think, just because something got approved and because of this there shouldn't be any demonstrations or blocking anymore - I'll wait for the day a highway is built behind your house and then I remind you of your comment :)

Peace.
I'd be more concerned about what they could plant on my machine versus what they find on it.
I agree, AWS is way too expensive. In fact you have a good point which is that the cost of compute on AWS is significantly higher, such that the relative cost of IPs isn't as significant. You can get a solid VPS from Hetzner for the cost of an AWS IP address.

What's your preferred provider?
Can you be specific about these "right-wing and far-right" subreddits you're seeing on the front page?

I'm not logged in (I don't have a Reddit account), I'm in Canada, and on the Reddit home page I'm currently seeing submissions associated with these Canada-specific subreddits:

6 for r/canada

2 for r/onguardforthee

2 for r/ontario

2 for r/PersonalFinanceCanada

1 for r/alberta

1 for r/vancouver

None of those subreddits look "right-wing" or "far-right" to me in any way.

In fact, I'm surprised at how left-leaning they tend to be, especially r/alberta. Of the current top five submissions there, four are for CBC articles, for example, and there are a few other CBC articles on the first page.

r/onguardforthee seems to be overtly left wing.

The other front page subreddits are broad (like r/AskReddit, r/politics, r/news), or about sports or hobbies (like r/gaming, r/baseball, r/hockey, r/FigureSkating).

None the subreddits I'm seeing on the Reddit front page seem to me to even be right-of-centre, let alone "right-wing" or "far-right".
Hey, thanks for trying out Ragas. As an open-source library, we are continuously improving from the feedback from the community which I see as our primary strength. I am sure that Ragas is not perfect yet, but I can assure you that it is 10x better than it was a few months ago.

Your post touches too many topics.

But on RxJS, yes, it is conceptually complex. I never quite understood whether one should use

- a container component with value-type @Inputs passed down
- a service emitting an Observable and subscribing to that, then passing value-types into the template
- an Observable as @Input
- now Signals? (haven't used those yet.)

Years later though I read a book on functional programming and the whole nightmare of arrays within Observables suddenly made sense.
My guess is they go where their audience is instead of hoping their audience comes to them.
Reddit's IPO is a regrettable mis-step in corporate governance
Antitrust law is there to protect consumers, not your business model.

As a consumer, I don't want to have to use 23 different wallet apps on my phone but am happy to have one secure implementation that's easy to use. You could argue that Apple Pay imposes lots of processing fees that will raise prices for consumers as vendors pass on processing fees to consumers and that prices would be lower if there was more competition, but I highly doubt this is the case in reality as Apple Pay processing fees are the same as regular payment processor fees for merchants.
Merrick Garland's Remarks on the Lawsuit Against Apple's Supposed Monopoly
Your farm example does not have the scale of damage for the government to bother itself suing you for. Nor is it actually relevant here since it’s an entirely different landscape.

I don’t think we can look at EU and point at a single thing and say that’s why they have a smaller tech sector. Heck, here’s a random argument I can throw out of nowhere for it: they are far less migrant friendly.

None of that makes him a founder, simple as that. You're blowing that comment out of proportion.
Well, yes, it is less secure. Though Apple has been adding more restrictions around apps having full disk access and stuff.

Yeah, after reading about Travis, that sound about right.
And yet the site is growing by millions of users every year. They must be doing something right. Isn't HN discounting a company that is going to become very profitable (like Facebook) because of some internet drama?
That is my understanding talking with devs who have worked at the lower layers of bluetooth. Well, two problems. The spec is not an easy one to read with a lot of caveats. But the bigger issue is, a lot of companies half ass their bluetooth implementation. Whether we are talking Windows, Android, iOS, macOS, Linux, etc, if you experience bluetooth problems, often it is the device and not the bluetooth code in the OS.
Assume the equipment scale would be similar to minecarts from an old museum, or some really rich engineer's little backyard train layout.

Depending on how miserable it was to deal with the lunar soil (getting into seals and bearings, contaminating living spaces, quickly developing washboards & potholes on regularly-used lunar buggy tracks, etc), it might be easier to build & use a little Lunar RR for even a <1 year timeframe, even if there was no "moon mining" going on.

I’ve steered clear of anything like that since the Deliveroo IPO. I bought into the offer of “special early access” shares as a regular user of the platform… …then watched their value spectacularly plummet over the next few years while the founders rode off into the sunset with my cash…
Phone sales are hardly the issue here. iOS policies are the issue.

And you could absolutely buy alternatives to Microsoft Windows in the 90s, from Apple or IBM or others. But that's immaterial. The availability of an alternative says nothing about the market power Apple has or how it's wielding that power. This is why we have anti-trust cases, to determine if that power is being abused.
It's not just that RFID isn't very secure, it's that a lot of locks are using the worst possible implementations. Just checking the ID of the RFID chip against a whitelist is an astonishingly common method. Not only makes that access cards easy to clone and provides no cryptographic security at all, if you bulk buy access cards you often get sequentially numbered cards ...
We need to drop all the untrusted code on some horrible in-order, no speculative execution, no prefetching, 5 stage pipeline from architectures 101 class core.

> Solving supply shortages with consumption subsidies. Say rent is expensive and the government gives everyone a $500/month rent voucher. What happens? Well, why is rent expensive? If people really want to live somewhere, they keep bidding with each other until the price hurts enough that some give up and live elsewhere.

I agree that the market rent will increase in this case, maybe even by as much as $500 / month in the case of perfectly constrained supply, but don't stop there! Keep going, and follow the logic. Eventually it will work, because eventually it creates such a powerful incentive for competing rental supply to enter the market.
> How are you so sure?

No, you're the one who made a claim unsupported by TFA, that victims usually believe they're acting illegally.

The scammers might very well tell everyone carlosjobim put them up to it. You can't just assume something is happening because it technically could happen.
I second that. At a past job we picked UDF for being the only format that would work across all platforms. That was before ExFAT got everywhere, but still seems like a good choice.
I have a similarly buggy experience: My 13-year old account with zero history of problems (and incidentally 500k comment karma) was randomly shadowbanned. I used their appeal page, got a message apologizing and saying my appeal was granted...

... But it's still shadowbanned and everything I ever wrote over those years is still gone, except now the appeals page doesn't even work because it claims my account is in good standing.

So I went looking for some kind of human help or support, but another old Reddit account (a resurrected job search throwaway from 5+ years ago) got immediately killed the exact same way, the lying "granted" appeal and all!

It certainly revitalized my interest in using personal-blogging for information instead of contributing anything to Reddit's decaying ecosystem.
It is when they charge those companies 30%. It’s a competitive advantage only a monopoly can sustain
Assuming that someone is capable of producing high quality results ( and that there is a population of people who are not capable), should that person make one thing for a long time? Or make one thing and put it in the world, and then make another thing.

I don't think you are interacting with a good faith interpretation of the claim here.
It's not about having a dominant position, it's about using your power in one market to further your position in another one. Apple control iOS and macOS which is always bundled with the hardware, and they use that to strengthen their own applications. Competitors cannot do it as they do not have the same access that Apple does regarding APIs and other features.
The NYT article is making the case look weaker than it really is, especially for armchair lawyers.

Doofus forgot about taxes, too.
There was a question some months ago on the Academic Bibical Reddit asking what religious text non-religious people there liked the most and it was by far the most popular with them.

I read a bit again recently because someone quoted part of what I quoted with regard to work and education, and it really does feel contemporary. That said, it is not that uncommon for ancient texts to feel relevant. I do not read a lot of ancient texts but one I did recently, pseudo-Xenophon's Constitution of the Athenians had several things, including a great passage about the rich and democracy.

There is a lovely reading of it by David Suchet that is on Youtube.
I think emotive/political language aside, it explains that the 737 MAX was pushed out the door to catch up with Airbus's newer, more fuel-efficient engines. Boeing basically used an existing plane design and jammed the engine in there, and tried to offset it with a new MCAS technology to help with the nose pitch issues. While it's worked most of the time, seems there's some edge cases in that tech that might not have been there had there been a ground up redesign.

I think this twitter thread might provide a more objective take on the same types of content in the article: https://twitter.com/emorwee/status/1770833808222277890
The term I've heard used frequently is "butt connector" (presumably because it allows you to "butt-up" two connections). I, too, always carry some of these with me. They're extremely handy.
Neuralink Livestreams Paralyzed Patient Playing Video Games with His Mind
> Do you prefer not being able to send or recieve good quality images and videos to anyone using Android?

Bit confused by this. What prevents me from sending or receiving good quality images to/from Android users?
I actually kind of agree as I am not even a soda drinker, but that was not the point. The point is the message it sends. And it really doesn't cost that much on a per-employee basis -- I would guess some employees might consume a six pack per day, valued at $5, and some others might consume nothing, valued at $0, so average that to maybe say $3 or $4. This is less than that employee already paid out of pocket to commute themselves to work. And having some basic food/drink taken care of centrally is more efficient in terms of saving time stocking up, going and buying more during break, etc.

But most of all, it's just the message. All the other "nice" employers do it, even some pretty "basic" employers do (not surprising, this is a very cheap perk, only a little more expensive than breakroom coffee), so if you don't, it you look like a cheapskate. Like what else are you cheaping out on?

I also don't drink much coffee, but would see it as a red flag if they cut costs by getting rid of the coffee in the break room, and that's a red flag that would hold even if I was working as a retail cashier (that's not an industry where free break room coffee is standard, but it's not unusual, so while I wouldn't care if a company never offered it, if I was a cashier at a company that had it, and then they took it away, the message would be obvious -- we are preparing to cut costs at the expense of your work life, our company is no longer growing, jump ship if you can)
You honestly believe we can invent our way into a utopia with no illness, no poverty, etc?
> 3. Create a Nova extension that says "use this .dylib to highlight that language."

How is that possible if the different tokens emitted by tree sitter don't have standardized names? Isn't there some kind of configuration that maps the rules in the grammar to whatever convention Nova uses for their token names?

Now tree sitter does make this super easy, but my point was you still have to have some kind of per-language configuration/logic to work, whereas the entire point of LSP is to have none.
> In 2010, a top Apple executive emailed Apple’s then-CEO about an ad for the new
Kindle e-reader. The ad began with a woman who was using her iPhone to buy and read books
on the Kindle app. She then switches to an Android smartphone and continues to read her books using the same Kindle app. The executive wrote to Jobs: one “message that can’t be missed is that it is easy to switch from iPhone to Android. Not fun to watch.”

This attitude explains a lot. This logic applies to every app that's available on both iPhone and Android, and to every web app.
Just getting open source adopted in my company takes around 10 man hours, and that is for something like a compiler that is only for internal use. If we will ship/expose it to customers we do due dalliance that probably amounts to 40+ man-hours to verify we can accept the license terms for that use and that the project doesn't have some hidden license issue (someone copied in code with a different license, link to something with a different license...).

Getting close source is even more work though - now we need someone to negotiate license terms (that is make sure our proposed use is compatible with the license we buy). We also make sure there is no risk of using their code (what if the closed source binary library has some AGPL3 code in it). I'm not even sure how to go through that process.
For a while, until he made sure every holiday stuffed the app with a repeating pop-up (think 5+ times over the holiday) that asked users to subscribe. Even users that already paid for the “Pro” version.

I forgot what he did when Apollo closed down but it was another big moneygrab.

The app itself always stayed pretty great, but the steady ramp up in monetization got increasingly annoying over the years.
