"Competitive moat." It's a term Warren Buffett has used often to describe businesses that have an advantage that blocks competitors, like a moat around the wall of a castle. Control over intellectual property rights is an example of such a moat.

Apple has this "feature" called Bonjour Sleep Proxy whereby which certain stationary devices like an Airport AP, HomePod or AppleTV will impersonate your Mac when it goes to sleep, so f you want to access a service on it, e.g. stream music from it, the other device acts as a proxy, sends a WoL packet to the Mac and passes the MAC back to it. Needless to say, this often plays havoc with poorly coded routers or switches with wonky ARP or bridge MAC to port lookup tables.

Practice for 4 weeks, then go interview. It's useful to practice a bit, but it's more important to just go do the interviews soon. Pick whatever practice makes the most sense, but don't worry too much about getting the exactly right practice. Review descriptions of what interviews will be like generally, and try to solve a handful of practice problems.

The best way to learn to interview well is to interview other people. You very quickly see what works and what doesn't. Of course, it's difficult to just make that happen in the short term.

In the end, you should just go interview places. You'll quickly learn whether you're all good (because you get offers), or if there are any problems to address. Only worry about it if there are problems.
Vine existed 4 years before tiktok and was hugely popular with the younger crowd, at least until Twitter bought & buried it.
Very cool!

I am also a big fan of jq.

And I think using DuckDB and SQL probably makes a lot of sense in a lot of cases.

But I think the examples are very geared towards being better solved in SQL.

The ideal jq examples are combinations of filter (select), map (map) and concat (.[]).

For example, finding the right download link:

$ curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/go-gitea/gitea/releases/latest \
| jq -r '.assets[]
| .browser_download_url
| select(endswith("linux-amd64"))'
https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/releases/download/v1.15.7/gitea-1.15.7-linux-amd64

Or extracting the KUBE_CONFIG of a DigitalOcean Kubernetes cluster from Terraform state:

$ jq -r '.resources[]
| select(.type == "digitalocean_kubernetes_cluster")
| .instances[].attributes.kube_config[].raw_config' \
terraform.tfstate
apiVersion: v1
kind: Config
clusters:

The Google Chat built into gmail? It’s kind of okay for off the cuff one-on-one chats but its features, and those of rooms (is that what they call it?) doesn’t hold a candle to the other platforms. They had something called Google Chat years ago that they then discouraged everyone to stop using because of Duo and Meets and their other products. They’re behind and they keep burning mind share. It doesn’t feel as mature, integrated, and API enabled as everyone else.
you can simply buy upvotes, stars, views, retweet's, reviews etc some will even guarantee delivery. If you buy 1000 and all of those bots get banned they will deploy 1000 new ones to deliver the order.

You prefer them to create real looking accounts or they start stealing them.

In 1998, many programmers around 40 were moving into middle or upper management. Not because they couldn't program, it's just that the huge growth in programming during the 80s meant that more and more programmers were required to move into management positions, rather than the 'coalface' programming areas where most of them probably would have preferred to be.

Programming growth has levelled off markedly in the quarter-century since that original 1998 survey. You'd probably that there would be lots more older programmers around in today's companies than back in 1998.

Let's see now, how old would Bill Gates, and his peers, have been back in 1998? How old are the founders of Google, Facebook, and Amazon in today's world?

IIRC it keeps the IP address for as long as the DHCP lease is valid, whereas Windows will do a full DHCP request on every reconnect. That's perfectly valid behavior, and DHCP servers should not delete reservations before the lease expires - which doesn't stop some particularly shoddy implementations from doing so. Cheap SOHO routers tend to not persist leases on the flash to not use up NAND rewrite cycles, so they reset everything upon reboot.
> Consumers are choosing a desirable physical good with undesirable digital restrictions.

So long as it is the customers making that choice, and they have access to alternatives, then it's not really a problem. If apple were advertising the iphone as a consumer product that had no such digital restrictions in an effort to hoodwink people into buying them, or if iphone were the only serious game in town, then those restrictions would be an issue, but right now iphones are advertised as being worth more than their competitors specifically because of those restrictions, and people are willing to pay such premiums. That you personally would not make the same decision does not mean they've been manipulated by anti-competitive measures into making theirs.

If someone were to make a consumer product that worked better for my use cases at the expense of being worse at or even incapable of doing things I don't intend to use it for, I should have the option to buy it. If you don't like the restrictions, buy something else. That's not anti-competitive, that is exactly how competition is supposed to work.
Am I wrong in thinking that this is very bad? What are the chances 0.0001% of people downloading your app won't try to come and murder you in your sleep? And considering the meager pay devs can gain from selling on app stores, how are we supposed to afford the high fence and guard dogs required to prevent attacks?
1) Horizondal expansion and support are core to every framework/library. This won't make us a competitor to LC, we actually use langchain-core to support many of these like supporting different LLMs.
2) We operate in a layer underneath the stack of evals and testing because we want to solve the problem from the ground up rather than building a fancy tracing tool, which comes later in the stack.
Having an example of doing that is great, but the comment said "each". For example, it matters if Redis got such an offer.

I'm banned across all of my Reddit accounts because I accidentally posted to a single subreddit that I had forgotten I had been banned months before on a different account (which was unjustified, but there's no arguing with a mod having a bad day who misinterpreted you and will not accept your apologies... I stopped trying to resolve it and just moved on. Big mistake.)

They called this "circumventing a ban", take it very seriously (as they should, I guess, but COME ON!) and it triggers a ban across every identifiable account that is connected to you, which they achieve via AI heuristics and fingerprinting. And this is VERY effective.

If you create a new account because you can't reach anyone about this (because you won't) just to get back to anyone who sent you messages or comments or whatever, they will call this "circumventing a ban AGAIN" and that will be strike 2 and when you THEN try to get help they will say "it says here that you have multiple circumvention attempts" (to an initially unjustified ban)... etc...

Do you see where this is going? Once Reddit (in the form of a mod having a bad day) has decided you are a "bad actor" (whether true or not), it's completely a slippery slope to a sitewide ban.

If anyone could help me unlock my Reddit accounts, I'd appreciate it (you can use my rep here perhaps) because it's honestly been a horrible development- example- most of my health issues had support forums there that are now read-only for me.

The really unfortunate thing is that I spent much of my time trying to help other people on it, and not being able to do that has felt bad. For some evidence of this, see my HN comments (although this is not really a support forum, per se).

I've been on Reddit since it was new (my original and oldest account dates to its earliest days: https://old.reddit.com/user/lectrick) and I'd appreciate any help!

"All of a sudden"? I've heard that term used for probably twenty years now, if not more, originating (IIRC) with Warren Buffet. What does the moat of a castle do? Keeps the baddies out. What does the "moat" of a business do? Keeps the competitors out. To take a recent example, what would Nvidia's moat be? A strong argument could be made that it's CUDA. For the sake of argument, let's say anyone could throw a bunch of silicon on a PCB and make a GPU equivalent to Nvidia's. Doesn't matter, because your cheapo GPU won't run the CUDA software that makes Nvidia's dominance possible.

To offer one more example out of my butt, take Apple. The Apple brand makes up at least some of their moat. You could build an exact clone of an iPhone that even runs latest iOS (assume for the sake of argument that there's a way to get the OS on your hardware). Doesn't matter, unless you're ready to infringe on trademarks by putting an Apple logo on there, few will buy it because they want Apple, not a functional work-alike.
> And where am I supposed to find affordable food not wrapped in plastic?

The same place you expect to find it when you outlaw food wrapped in plastic. It's not going to disappear until people stop buying it. You can create a law to remind you to not buy food wrapped in plastic, or you can just not buy food wrapped in plastic. So long as the population is on board with the idea of not buying food wrapped in plastic, there is absolutely no difference.

If you are suggesting that the population isn't on board and everyone other than you is quite happy to keep buying food wrapped in plastic then a democratic government would never create such a law in the first place, rendering the entire discussion moot. That would not be in alignment with the will of the people. Democracy does not serve individual whims.
As far as I can tell you can just use a PO box
Even better analogies:

- Should the government force marketplaces to allow competing marketplaces to set up shop within their area, collect fees, but not pay any fees to the larger market?

- Should the government make laws to require restaurants to allow competing chefs to bring a hot plate and start cooking food at the tables and serve them to their customers?

- Should Google be forced by the government to include support for formats in Android that are used by Apple such a HEIF and HEIC? What about Microsoft and Linux?

These rules are not about individual choice or freedom. This is about giant corporations using the government to give them a way into the walled garden built by a competing mega corporation. This is completely self-serving and in no shape, way, or form serves the common good.

As an iPhone user I do not want government interference in a market place that has been kept mostly free of malware precisely because it keeps out the riff-raff. I want the hucksters and the scammers blocked. I really don't care if they scream "unfair!" at the top of their lungs from outside of the fence.

Similarly, general SMS messaging is a cesspit of unceasing spam precisely because it is so interoperable. Because Apple keeps out garbage devices with zero security, I've seen precisely zero iMessage spam in the last decade. I got a spam SMS in the last hour. I'll get several more today.
Wow! This is the internet find of the week for me. How long until this appears as its own post on the HN front page? Thanks for mirroring.
I’m sure RCS messages would stay green though, so it’s less than clear that your proposal addresses the alleged social lock-in.
The North West borough where obesity is the 'norm' – health officer
No organization runs the messaging app, it's a protocol that anyone can implement. Publish an RFC. The first time you contact someone who uses a different provider, their messaging app or service sends you an email asking you to confirm that you sent the message, after which your app is associated with your email address on their provider. A combined messaging+email app could handle this automatically. At that point you can make calls, video chats, group chats, E2E encrypted direct messaging etc., using an email address as an identifier.

In general, solve problems in the same way that email does but add protocol support for realtime direct communications and end-to-end encryption.

> 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.

What? RCS is a real thing that works between Android users. It is Apple's choice to not support (or contribute to it or improve the standard) it because it locks people in and creates a very cozy, very real in-group sentiment.

I presume the question is about impact: At Apple's scale, restricting competition has a very broad impact on the economy. In contrast, a movie theater not allowing outside food is probably not reducing all that much food-related competition in aggregate.

I don't think there's a good real-world "venue/food" analogy. However, hypothetically: Imagine if half of all homes/apartments were controlled by the same company and they also happened to be the largest food producer. They then decided to limit what food could be brought into your home, saying "We have the safest food, so you can only buy our food." Now, they might even be right that their food is the safest, but the market impact would be significant enough to warrant anti-trust action.

This is pure speculation, but I wonder if it might also have something to do with surplus cavity magnetrons (and the production facilities for them) becoming available post-WWII. I can't find anything definitive on production models, but I was able to determine that the prototype magnetron that Churchill sent to the United States in secret operated at around 3 GHz...pretty close. Maybe cheaper to use the ones that already had production lines set up, if they were otherwise workable?
The main thing to me was that since this runs on Nextcloud its more extensible as the photos are just stored under the files and you can use various other apps to do what your heart desires. The other aspect is you get your own Gdrive alternative. You may or may not want this.

For mobile compatibility Nextcloud is better since you can choose which folder photos go to and you can essentially automatically backup albums whereas with Immich you can't automatically specify which album photos from a directory should go [1].

In addition to this, Immich isn't too stable yet and each time you update the server all clients have to be on the latest version, at least since the last time I used Immich.

Sorry to say "you are holding it wrong", but browsing by all is just terrible. Much like reddit, things improve a lot if you subscribe to the communities that interest you and ignore everything else.

Granted, Lemmy's issue is that the user base is not large enough to have developed a long tail of interesting communities, but hopefully this will change as it grows.

Also, I know that finding the communities is difficult, so I've put together a website to work as a crowdsource of reddit-to-lemmy communities, https://fediverser.network
How much of that is Reddit and how much of it is that all online communities have a definite lifecycle. Either they age out, or they become too popular and become useless.
Also check out DeepEval... our team has been using it for a while, and it's been working well for us because we can evaluate any LLMs, something this library doesn't seem to support (https://github.com/confident-ai/deepeval).
There is a risk associated with not wireing money never ever. Your brother could very well need 100usd for gas to some strangers phone wallet, since he lost his phone and wallet, etc. If he is in some foreign nation not sending money could very well make him end up on the streets.

I would have been screwed like two times in my life if I couldn't solve stuff like this.

I think the limit should just be how much you send.

I used to work as maintenance on a big chain hotel and we had magstripe card locks, I don’t think strong security is their primary goal as in a hotel the staff can enter any room at any time, the cards me and my team had were “god mode” we could open any door at any time even when locked from inside. If the lock didn’t work “firmware problems, dead batteries, stuck mechanism” we had another device that worked by removing a cover and connecting with a wire, this was also used for testing and FW updates.
I find Reddit to be wayyy too political for one side (that’s usually how clustering works) but without another guiding interest -like Tech here- it consumes and spreads to everything.

The admin are kinder to banning the opposing Red team people who congregate there. I don’t mind this, but it selects for annoying people.

This is further confusing when the site has many European users who are not even aware of the US political game.

(look at the frontpage any day, it’s all Blue tribe with maybe 3-4 neutral animal posts. Why can’t it be 20 neutral things with 3-4 political posts?)
