Only thing to truly stop it is by having in-person interviews like we used to do pre-COVID.

IMO, online video interviews are the worst, for both sides, and doesn't allow for that close connection to ever take form.
I agree about the mods being a major driving force behind reddit's accelerating enshittification. It went very fast from a platform for exchanging interests and ideas to personal fiefdoms of sub moderators and their private political beliefs.

And it doesn't help that all major subs are modded by the same narrow group of people. How reddit the company has no problems with that is beyond me. Apparently that's exactly what they want.
I like to use Mumble https://www.mumble.info/ for voice chat while gaming. It's really effective at voice chat and runs on a toaster. The server was really easy to set up on my raspberry pi. Is there another software that might be helpful that you can think of? Free software would be preferable
From a small business perspective: you may not have anyone competent to manage hardware. I know of two companies that had a great hardware, but the single employee who managed it moved on. Some time later, things failed, and there were no useful backups.

Alternatively, even if you have a good techie, you may want more reliability than a single server in a closet.

I have helped various small businesses. Sometimes cloud is the right choice. Sometimes not. Depends on the situation.
I've been using VitePress for a while now. I'm building everything on https://containersonaws.com/pattern/ via VitePress and an entirely custom theme. It feels great to be able to design the website using proper Vue components, compared to the quasi-template language of something like Hugo. And the page load and navigation performance has been quite nice in my opinion.

The only downside that I will mention is that builds are quite slow. I'm not sure how this will scale out as I get more pages. My Hugo website can build 100's of pages in under a second, while VitePress is taking 30-40 seconds to build around 100 pages.
A "CISC to RISC decoder" isn't properly a decoder, it's a translator. What they had in the 80's were proper decoders: instruction's in, enable and clock lines out.

Sending messages from watch for example. Apple only allows that for Apple watches
Perhaps this is essentially more lawfare against a party antagonistic to the political aims of Washington players. We know that our national (as well as state) law enforcement entities have been alleging for more than a decade now that Apple's encryption practices stymie their efforts to catch "bad guys." What better way to put back room pressure on a company.
> I love how whenever Apple makes a clearly anti-trust move it's always about privacy.

Who else is going to care about privacy though?

For the payment situation for example, Apple Pay (and Google Pay) use EMV Tokenization so that your actual credit card number is obfuscated:

Anecdotally, the people I know who do console gaming are really fed up with the lack of backwards compatibility; New console comes out, all your old games are now incompatible.

Now PC games often lose backwards compatibility when upgrading OS versions, but patches, compatibility modes, and even VMs are realistic options and ones that people will use.

Speaking for liver transplants, they are a many hour traumatic affair. My daughter lost and received more than her entire blood volume during hers. Initial recovery is extremely immunosuppressed and some of the drugs we had to handle with masks and gloves, and had 4x a day medication schedules. So you couldn't burn through pig livers I believe getting them swapped frequently. My daughter received her liver at age 8 months by the way and is now 19 yrs old.
The thing is, this now matches Twitter/X: unpleasant in usability, increasingly unpleasant in content, lots of the good posters have left; BUT such a significant chunk of "normal" companies and users are doing social media through it that it survives nonetheless. And those frogs are pretty boil-resistant.

If there's a new game launched, where is the forum likely to be? Reddit. What search term do people add to try to bypass genAI content farms? Reddit.
Before pig butchering, Reply All (Search Engine's direct forerunner co-hosted by PJ Vogt) investigated tech support scams. It's all organized crime too, but this was before they realized they can use slaves instead of hired operators.

How about we regulate tracking apps etc first then force Apple to change?
That would be an interesting way for Apple to side-step the whole question: unlock the bootloaders and make it clear how you could do whatever you wanted with it (except run hacked iOS).

The number of people buying iPhones to run even a slick version of Android would probably be quite small.
Banking and government apps aren’t paying App Store fees, beyond trivial amounts in developer account fees.
I explored tools to export/interchange PDF to HTML in the KnowledgeGarden app, but the results were not optimal, suffering from non-standard layout and poor typesetting of equations. Publishers of scholarly articles generate web pages of papers, but they're not replicas of PDF files.

Re. self-contained HTML (and slightly off-topic), look at TiddlyWiki, which contains data/code/layout all in one interactive, local or hosted HTML. Extensibility, plugins, and community of contributors are some key highlights, among others.

Most of the things I see Apple stop developers from doing I'm grateful for. Most developers have really bad ideas.
I've only briefly looked at plan9 here and there over the years but you seem to have a pretty good handle on it and maybe could indulge me. Your comment raised a question for me that I hadn't considered before.

If I've got a Plan9 system mounted over, say, NFS, would this all mean that (ignoring permissions) I could effectively open a TCP connection from that remote machine by writing appropriate information to a file on the NFS share? It would be pretty inefficient I suspect, tunnelling TCP over NFS, but it seems like there could be an incredible amount of cool hacks that might Just Work as a side-effect of them going all-in on "everything is a file".
I'm also a bit sceptical of an intelligence explosion but compute per dollar has increased in a steady exponential way long before Moore's law and will probably continue after it. There are ways to progress other than shrinking transistors.

I think the concept was fine, but the quality was terrible. When they first launched, my employer at the time bought a bunch of them. Lots of people used them a few times, but then stopped because they were unusable. The software was definitely buggy, but they were so bad there could have been hardware issues as well. I don't think anyone I knew ever tired them again. I'm honestly surprised that they lasted this long. Maybe they eventually got better?
Many immunosuppressed patients will disagree. Viruses hit harder and can often require antibiotics (not a good idea long term). And Covid/Flu/Noro is a constant risk to immunosuppressed people.

> Apple having access to everything related to end user, every step they can take regarding privacy can be deemed as anti-competitive.

But does Apple have access to things? Or do they (sometimes?) design things so that even they don't have the information?

A lot of the time they do things 'on device'.
"Easy" means there are no barriers to entry, not that it's trivial to make a good product.

In particular, there are no barriers to entry imposed by Apple. For any product Apple sell, there are numerous competing products in the same category. Apple's versions uniformly dominate third party rankings of these products, but all that means is that they're good at what they do.

I love VitePress, it's simple, extensible, and just works. For a basic documentation/blog page it's enough. I was able to build Logdy's website, documentation and blog with it. You can check the source code of the website here[1]. The only thing I'm missing is a full compilation to a static html.

> how many astronauts will we need in the coming decades

687 people in space to date; Starship plans to carry as many as 100 passengers at a time.

I think it's safe to assume that there will be so many people in space in the near future that the meaning of the word Astronaut is not really going to hold up much longer -- not that it will go away. There are still "Aviators" in the world after all, but not everyone who gets on a plane or even flies one would necessarily assign that term to themselves.

WRT "NASA Astronauts": It's a bit of a loaded question too to single out "hired by NASA to fly to space" as the epitome of a space faring person. While there is currently a good argument to be made that NASA Astronauts have truly been a cut above, at some point it's almost inevitable that commercial/private space operations will eclipse NASA and the best and most capable people going to space will no longer choose to work a government job where they have limited authority over their careers. Take a look at the astronauts who have been waiting to fly Starliner - as storybook cool as it is, being an astronaut can also suck immensely.
Continuing off-topic, my (very much not-mega) church used to use NDI (for overlaying the presentation onto the view of the speaker/band) but we recently switched to using an extra HDMI hub + an HDMI capture card and had a notable improvement in performance/framerate (on an underpowered laptop.)
Vite Pres has client-side routing, right? Like, it works without JS, but if JS is enabled, it runs as a SPA.
"Build a vessel that suits the environment" is a big difference. One person can build boat that can sail across the ocean. A team can build a ship that will do it safely. People sail across the ocean on canoes.

Space ships are a whole other level of technology that we don't have but have ideas on how to build.

Starships are level where we don't know if can be built. We have ideas, but those ideas aren't possible with achievable technology. It is quite possible that not possible with any technology.
> 3.

Every single group chat that I use on a day-to-day basis has a non iPhone participant. The biggest argument against the way apple treats SMS vs iMessage I see is people feel ostracized for having green bubbles. I just don't understand why this rises to anti-trust.
This is something I noticed in the past few months here. Gang-flagging clearly intensified on HN but it doesn't look like any of HN moderators care.

The news is not able to keep maintaining the level of outrage at the war. They don't even try in a lot of cases because I think deep down people don't care.

That doesn't mean people don't care about the people though. Human suffering is always bad.
> I've seldom met a dev who didn't enjoy the profession.

When you're an individual dev, if you think ads are bullshit, tracking is bullshit, /r/all is bullshit, non-chronological feeds are bullshit, infinite scroll is bullshit, promoting ragebait/clickbait to boost engagement is bullshit, gold/coins/stickers/premium is bullshit, inline images are bullshit, and anything that negatively impacts responsiveness/performance/stability is bullshit - it's within your power to improve the product - often by simply not implementing them.

When you're a dev for a big corporation like reddit, though, if your boss wants some bullshit that makes the product worse but more profitable, it's your job to make the product worse but more profitable.

No idea either. They haven't changed much in years.
Apps on iOS are allowed to communicate and share data so long as they are published by the same developer.
The ecosystem doesn’t need to go away to be opened up.

Honestly, I am approaching this from another standpoint. Tech has made it more palatable to have walled gardens but battles similar to this have been fought before and the walled gardens have fallen.

I have two solutions for Apple here:

1. Either allow more open participation on your platform.

2. Allow other vendors to write OSes for the iPhone device if you don’t want to open your software.

Without one of these two, the amount of ewaste we’re generating from this hardware is astonishing.

I don’t think Apple the services, should dictate the OS running on Apple the hardware.

At that point, you can run the ecosystem you want. I can choose to run Android, or Linux on this hardware.

And before anyone brings up consoles: yes. This should also apply to consoles.
Authors often receive much less than that for each book they sell - the best you can get is self-publishing on Kindle or something where you can net 70%: https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/G200634560

Microsoft bought it. Microsoft is also allegedly using private repos to train AI, Microsoft is not a benevolent entity.
it's hard to forget about others in a city though. you have neighbors, traffic, etc. that's why the whole 'cabin in the woods' experience can be sold as a relative luxury nowadays.

that said, based on the status quo we definitely don't spend enough resources on making sure we can peacefully and sustainably live next to others.
From the paper: "OpenSSL reported that local side-channel attacks (...) fall outside of their threat model. The Go Crypto team considers this attack

The AI-connected-earpiece approach DoNotPay planned to use for their “robot lawyer” thing before they attracted attention for unlicensed practice of law could, in principal, still work for that.

There are precisely zero computing platforms in which one may expect to transfer application code to a device running a different operating system. None.
> Strage to see that as an issue; SMS is clearly an inferior protocol compared to iMessage and it's useful to know when messages have been downgraded.

Except that's not why the blue/green difference was created (at least historically).

It dates back to the time where SMS messages cost money for each one sent (though plans often came with x free messages), so the green message was telling you it was (potentially) costing you money when sending/receiving messages. (US$ = greenbacks -> green = cost)
It's not just safety. Small-yet-safe gaps exacerbate temporary jams on highways, or possibly even create them.
Humans are still imposing their will on these animals. They will still be used in one way or the other.

If we substitute your children into their lifestyle, would you be ok with that? Run around these free fields, but there are fences, and you will have to subject yourself to mandatory harvest long before the end of your natural lifespan. Ah and sometimes a dude will come around and shove a stick with a magnet down your throat to collect metal junk you've eaten because people carelessly throw away trash. I never talked about happiness, I talked about self determination. Yes it's not all equally bad, but saying humane farming is like saying humane torture. A dichotomy and a lie. I'm not saying farming equals torture, I'm saying self determination and farming are fundamentally incompatible.
For renal transplants - not sure if there’s an upper limit, although each subsequent transplant becomes a more difficult match (as antibodies build up) and eventually may have to remove previous transplants. Generally renal transplants go in the right or left groin with native kidneys left in place. If one transplant fails, a transplant to the opposite side may be attempted, or a different location (such as intra-abdominal). Otherwise, will need to explant the first transplant
This is hideous though. Why should someone's preference for a mobile phone, chosen for their convenience, hinder them from texting those they care about?

I think no because an android compatible watch would be compatible with any other android phone, not only Google Watch <--> Google Phone.
Thanks, had no idea there were that many specific operators and combinations of operators.

At least in the last year, looks like "inurl", "intitle", and "intext" have all been getting a lot of use.

Also, a lot of "index of". "db.py", "store", "secret", "ec2 -aws", "mysql inurl:./db/", ect... in combination. Must be a lot of low hanging fruit in the orchard.

Unhinged response.
That's true, and I agree to a point. But, I think they wanted to nail the "You don't even need a dongle" part of it. Because none of this is enabled by Flipper or a dongle. A handful of components you can get from a broken radio suffice. There's nothing magical or beyond reach making this attack possible. You don't need custom chips, or a long logistics pipeline to enable it. You don't even need a company to produce anything specific. The from-scratch demo they posted hammers home that working from nothing you can do this in an afternoon with tools you can get at Walmart and it's well within a high school student's abilities.

I admire pg. But I kind of doubt anything he writes will make any difference for the Reddit IPO.
>People like this walled garden since apple promises that it's safe and they deal with all of the problems for you.

I get the "safety" argument, but it's also about the user experience. What if now Microsoft makes me install Microsoft store to use M365 apps, Amazon makes me install whatever store to use their products, etc? What do I win here as a consumer?

I buy iPhone specifically for what it is. I get that some people don't like walled garden approach, so they have Android at their service. Apple is not a monopoly.

What is the point of buying a phone knowing what you are getting, and then complaining about something you knew full well it doesn't have?
We're referring more to the "data platform" part. What we mean by a "Postgres data platform" (and arguably it's not an widely accepted term, so take it with a grain of salt) is that you get not only Postgres, but secondary data stores around it, more tightly integrated than in a typical cloud provider:

- Elasticsearch, to which we replicate data automatically via CDC

- Blob storage for file attachments, we use S3 to store the files and Cloudflare to cache them on CDN

- (in the future) Caching

- (in the future) Time-series databases, again with automatic replication from Postgres

That said, you can use just the Postgres part, and we are very happy if you do.
If only US had a sort of a legislative body where you elect people to and then they actually can write laws? That would be great.
It's completely besides the point, but part of the complexity of the char_count example is just due to the C version for some reason copying the input strings into newly allocated memory, which the zig version doesn't :)
The way to save the internet is to force everyone to have a recent picture of themselves next to any post they make.
Reddit is a cesspit of its former self. The OG reddit is far from what it used to be. It's no longer an innocent link sharing platform, it's a socio-political platform with so much slime in between the subs that I find useful. Try and use Reddit daily and ignore all the drama, political shit, and covert rage click posts. It's emotionally exhausting not to get pulled in and have to constantly triage your home feed.

I have deleted my account at least half a dozen times and just tried to use it as a source of useful information, but I inevitably fall into the pit of getting another account because I can't control myself objecting to the nasty stuff on there. I know this is partly my self control problem, but social media in general is just awful. I can get rid of FB easily, there is literally no benefit for me being on there, but Reddit legit has useful content about all of my hobbies and how to do X.

It is unkillable but for some pretty rotten reasons. It's a social media platform mixed in with really useful content. Come for the search result, stay for the drama is what happens to me.
