>Even worse, they give me notifications if someone replies in a sub that didn't opt-in to archive mode (another dumb decision; should've been opt-out),

God, that is just the WORST concept especially nowadays. I was looking for info on water filtes and found a bunch of ChatGPT comments from 3 months ago on an 8 year old thread shilling for some company. Of course, they were all upvoted to the top of the thread.

I even had a notification of someone just commenting "lol" on an offhand comment I made about Firefly in 2011. As if that needed to be said.
For sure, it can go directly back on a shelf.

Unfortunately with the # of stores closing every week that's less frequently an option, so with Orderly we want to make it so that things you don't want can actually get out of your house and into the hands of a consumer who does want them, instead of landfill or some other horrible option.
As I've been told long enough "be strict in what you give, be liberal in what you accept". We're all welcome to apply (arbitrary) strict rules to what we say, but we ought to live with the fact not every does (or, anyway, have the same set of rules to start with)
This viewpoint comes about from a lack of empathy/knowledge of the type of pain that would want someone to seek death.

I don't understand why Twitter (now X) never bothered to re-launch Vine after TikTok's success. The brand, I think, still has some power. Vine could have easily been TikTok if they would've expanded the platform more.

Your point is fine but you have to at least acknowledge the dynamic that users are takers of software and companies have every incentive to take their popular apps off the app store.

It's gonna be the first thing Facebook does, and maybe that's fine but it's going to reduce consumer choice. You won't be able to have the Facebook but with the tracking restrictions anymore because it's bad for their bottom line. I don't really know if there's a good answer for how to strike this balance but it seems drastic that people want it to be illegal to offer a platform where all participants have to play by the platform's rules.

> I think software engineers often get turned off by the weird idiosyncrasies of R

That was at least true when I was looking at it. I didn't get it, but the data guys came away loving it. I came away from that whole experience really appreciating how far you can get with an "unclean" design if you persist, and how my gut feeling of good (with all the heuristics for quality that entails) is really very domain specific.
If you get a complaint from the Department of Justice, you should probably be more focused on preventing a break-up than counting your nest eggs.
Not mentioned are the magnetic charging connectors. I’ve found them useful for charging small appliances, like usb-c remotes and peripherals, and a micro-usb radio.

Word of warning: most of these are charge only, but a few do support data transfer. Do not use them for data. I am 79% sure that I bricked a USB-C monitor with one. I was well aware of the warnings, but did so anyway in a selfish pursuit of convenience.

) \
where url like '%linux-amd64'"
Any replacement would have the same fraudulent traffic migrate to it.

You can already see this type of fraudulent traffic occur on Telegram with the constant crypto bots and on Signal with the romance scams.

A PSTN sunset would force this fraudulent traffic to migrate to the over the top communications platforms, eliminate many people's ability to access emergency services reliably, destroy reliable voice quality on cellular networks as there's no consistent way to prioritize third party voice and video traffic.
> I like the app store, I like the restrictions, I don't want apple to change anything about it.

This is basically saying you only use TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Spotify, Tinder, Gmail, Google Maps, and play zero to some handful of mega huge F2P games.

Why have an App Store at all then? You don't use it. It's an installation wizard for you, not a store.

Don't you see? This stuff doesn't interact with restrictions at all. The problem with the App Store is that it sucks, not that it's restricted.

> making their app store worse

I've heard this take from so many people. It is already as bad as it gets. The App Store is an utter disaster. They have failed in every aspect to make a thriving ecosystem. It is just the absolute largest, hugest, best capitalized, least innovative apps and games.

This doesn't have to be the case at all. Look at Steam. Even Linux package managers have more diversity with more apps that thrive.

You imply Apple isn't a better choice than the android ecosystem(s) with respect to safety/security/privacy (because you reply to the comment that this appears to be the case). This is, at least on the surface, not the general perception. But given you talk so much about doing due diligence, I assume you have some insight as to why Apple isn't the better choice on these dimensions?

I'm genuinely all ears, because this has not been my observation, but I've never done and in-depth study of the matter.

I have lived in Kiev and I have seen how GPS jamming works on the ground. As soon as russian missiles or drones approached Kiev, our air defense typically turned on the GPS jamming. I could immediately see on my phone that I'm steadily moving in a straight line directly northeast at a high speed in a very different part of the city - all while sitting on the couch in my home not very high above the ground. A few times like that.

I was curious how powerful should a jammer be to completely actively substitute GPS coordinates in a city so large.

How does buying an android fix the issues surrounding the green bubble? How does buying an android let you use an apple watch? How does buying an android fix all the cross dependencies of super apps that would be utilised between android and iphones?

To fix the apple issue in the US you don't need to buy 1 android phone you need to buy 175 million of them (and, to apple's credit, not the cheaper ones if you want to match apple performance)... or you could enforce the law to curtail the more aggregious of apple's anti-competitive behaviours.

supermisconduct
I do use an Android. Doesn't mean I can't point out glaringly obvious issues across the pond. Apple's decisions affect me regardless:

- If I develop an app and want to port it to an Apple device, I need to spend a ton of money on devices from their ecosystem to do so or else I miss out on their whole market.

- Members of my close family use iPhones and will ask me for help with things like getting videos off of them. Lock-in features like iCloud make it extraordinarily difficult and prevents them from getting an Android without leaving their things behind.

- Apple has enough market pull that if they do something user-hostile for money and walk away unpunished legally, others in the market tend to copy them. See the headphone jack issue and how Samsung and Google have dropped it.

- When my family sends me videos over text they look terrible. It's a small thing, but considering that the Beeper Mini thing revealed how easy it would be for Apple to just not actively break iMessage solutions, it's pretty annoying.

Being able to use your own software on your own device is not a fantasyland, it is the default for most devices. Apple is a standout exception and it is insane to me that Apple users will shrug that off with "well, that's just reality," because it clearly isn't. It is a conscious decision by Apple to block you from owning your device and you are rolling over and taking it.
Ask HN: How do we handle a new other startup with the same name as ours (Devin)?
First of all, thank you for taking the time to read this rant.

9 days ago, the Cognition team—a group of objectively well-credited and very talented individuals—announced their new AI software engineer named Devin. This announcement caused quite a stir, generating tons of posts on social media and various memes commenting on its usefulness. It wouldn't be an understatement to say their announcement was widely noticed, including here on Hacker News.

this has resulted in a ton of unforeseen work for our small, two-person startup, Devin.fm. All the interested persons Google searches for the keyword 'Devin' has lead to a massive uptick in traffic to our site, since we are in the top of the search results.

For over three years, we've been building devin.fm, a DevOps tool for a niche programming language called Claris FileMaker. Before Cognition's announcement, we had around 20-30 website visits a day; now, it's up to several tens of thousands. These are obviously mistaken visitors looking for Devin, the AI software engineer.

Even after landing on our webpage, these new visitors still somehow believe that devin.fm is the new AI software engineer. They're downloading our app, attempting to install our software, spamming our public roadmap with random comments??? , and most recently (and the reason for writing this post) signing up for thousands of dollars worth of trial periods with what Stripe describes as 'highly likely fraudulent credit cards'.

This situation is consuming hours of our time as we sift through mistaken requests to find any actual potential customers. We receive so many support requests where we must discern whether the individual is a legitimate FileMaker developer or someone seeking an AI SWE. It's quite tiring and detracts from our main goal: to build our product.

We've attempted to reach out to the Cognition team via Twitter, LinkedIn, and email, but have not been able to get in contact with them, they obviously must have a lot to see to. We're not certain what we try to achieve by reaching out. It's highly unlikely they'll change their name, but perhaps there's a way for both of us to benefit from this situation. Cognition must be interested in directing these 150,000-some visitors to their site, or are we just being naive?

So does any of you have any tips on handling this situation? We're considering changing our name, but we've been building our brand for years and would ideally like to avoid it, but its just not productive work being done right now.

(author here, still getting over the first time I've seen one of my own posts on this site)

The many recommendations for J here are a great nudge for me to give it a proper go. I've taken quite a liking to the traditional APL glyphs ( see a photo of the stickers on my laptop keys in this post https://jcarroll.com.au/2023/12/10/advent-of-array-elegance/ ) so I'm not looking for a way to avoid them.

Another detraction I've seen around is about the ambivalence of APL glyphs (taking either 1 or 2 arguments and doing something different in each case). I don't particularly mind it because I think it becomes more natural to "understand" how a function is being used the more familiar you become with it, but without the limitation on the number of glyphs, I can see the benefit of separating those.

> People aren't going to stop buying it as long as it's the only option!

Then that's it. Game over. Until buyers stop buying what's already out there, vendors don't have an avenue to sell any kind of replacement. Fortunately, your view is quite disconnected from reality. In the real world people talk, negotiate, and work to satisfy the buyer's wants and needs.

> It's not about reminding you not to buy, it's about banning people from selling. You know, as they already do for dangerous stuff like Kinder Suprise in the US…

Not to mention illicit drugs. They, of course, straight up vanished from the US as soon as it became illegal to sell them. Oh wait.

Let's be real: If someone is buying, there will be someone ready to sell. The law ultimately has to compel the buyer to back away. You can say the onus is on the seller, but you're just looking at the opposite side of the same coin.

> Yet there is one.

Meaning that if I decide to keep my clocks on a constant schedule it's straight to jail for me? If not, how does that relate to a law that would penalize you if you sell (or buy) plastic-wrapped food? In this part of the world, at least, if you want to ignore DST, go nuts. DST only exists because the people just do it, not because there is some legal threat that keeps them on the straight and narrow.

> and this kind of amount of coordination is the exact reason why we've created the State in the first place!

If the state is democratic, the people have to coordinate first. Without such coordination, there is no way for democracy to take place. Once the people have coordinated their will, they can just do it. Like you point out with DST – at least to the extent of its existence in my part of the world – you don't need a law to force people to do what they've already decided to do. They can just do it. Simple as that.

Such laws are useful for keeping the minority dissenters in line with the will of the majority, but in this case once the majority has stopped buying plastic-wrapped food, it is highly unlikely there will be a compelling business case to serve the small handful of people who want to see the world burn. I mean, even if you don't give a rat's ass about the environment, are you really going to go well out of your way to buy plastic-wrapped food? Not likely. You're just going to buy the food the same way everyone else is. It will be cheaper and much, much, much more convenient.

The previous commenter's idea of an authoritative higher power forcing the people to bend to his will is great and all, but doesn't work with democracy. If a perfect world sees that government be a democracy, as the prevailing consensus seems to indicate, then that idea is out the window in said perfect world.
The problem is that the idea was "we'll build this nice thing and other people who use it en masse will also be nice and give us some money for support or just because"

The reality is large places will take as much as they can and never give anything unless forced into such a deal. Open source tech is probably tainted in this regard. How many other projects have gone this route for basically the same reason?

I hope this means large tech will actually contribute some money to Redis. I've used Redis for many years and hope they can make some money after giving so much away for so long.
> Try mounting a Nikon lens on a Canon camera, for example. You might not like it,

Right, I don't. Things like these not being standardized when it would be so easy for them to be just so that one provider can make a little extra money selling their own peripherals is scummy and I would love to see it stopped. Apple does this, Nikon does this, both can either fix it or burn.

Also, what exactly is your point? That you admit Apple is doing anti-competitive things to lock customers in, just that you don't care?

Critical reflections about the ecological impact/carelessness of modern society was an already booming genre during that time, so the response they were preparing for was surely part of HM's decision to publish in the first place, not just some insight gleaned from how convincing the work felt or whatever.

And these books were consistently controversial and politicized at the time, which is why sales and discussion were high yet still lead to our 2020's society being only marginally more ecologically responsible than the that of 1960's (if that).

Nothing much has changed. In the way you're referencing, the US was extremely divided in the 1960's and is extremely divided again now. Practiced media companies know how to "prepare" for that by exploiting it for sales, and today's publishers do it just the same -- sometimes on ecological topics like this, sometimes on other controversial topics du jour.

This would be lovely. As far as I know, right now its entirely possible for an app developer to show clean, trustworthy code on github. And then ship an app bundle on the app store which contains malware.

I'd love it if Apple provided a way to protect against this sort of thing.
For having used Memories on Nextcloud, and having spent hours trying to micro optimize the Nginx & PHP configuration, I can safely say that, while it is better than the Nextcloud’s native Photos app, this is absolutely nowhere near to Immich, Filerun, or surprisingly even a dumb SMB share (which doesn’t have thumbnail caching…!). I’ve really tried hard, as Immich’s support for external libraries was still in a PR at that time, and didn’t want to have two separate tools to grab files and grab photos.

A big part of the problem, it seems, is that, when you have a large library, and you jump/scroll to a specific year or so, it won’t cancel the previous page(s) worth of thumbnails loading. So as soon as you’re scrolling to search for something, it quickly accumulates hundreds of useless requests that quickly overload the PHP workers, and make everything crawl to a standstill.

I personally had to give up. When trying to grab photos from abroad for my shortly upcoming proposal, I’ve literally deleted Nextcloud/Memories, plopped Immich in docker compose, let it index/transcode/generate thumbnails from scratch against my “external library” (so Immich doesn’t duplicate the medias), and that ended up savings me days of buffering, and was able to find the nice pictures for the occasion!
