Absolutely agreed, and copying from a comment I wrote last year: I think the fact that tree-sitter is dependency-free is worth highlighting. For context, some of my teammates maintain the OCaml tree-sitter bindings and often contribute to grammars as part of our work on Semgrep (Semgrep uses tree-sitter for searching code and parsing queries that are code snippets themselves into AST matchers).

Often when writing a linter, you need to bring along the runtime of the language you're targeting. E.g., in python if you're writing a parser using the builtin `ast` module, you need to match the language version & features. So you can't parse Python 3 code with Pylint running on Python 2.7, for instance. This ends up being more obnoxious than you'd think at first, especially if you're targeting multiple languages.

Before tree-sitter, using a language's built-in AST tooling was often the best approach because it is guaranteed to keep up with the latest syntax. IMO the genius of tree-sitter is that it's made it way easier than with traditional grammars to keep the language parsers updated. Highly recommend Max Brunsfield's strange loop talk if you want to learn more about the design choices behind tree-sitter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jes3bD6P0To

And this has resulted in a bunch of new tools built off on tree-sitter, off the top of my head in addition to difftastic: neovim, Zed, Semgrep, and Github code search!
That’s the go to jail kind of securities fraud.

I've been playing on and off for about 3 years now, I'm not even very good, have never beat it yet.

In the past week or two I've learned about better strategies, e.g. max out your weapon so you can one-hit most enemies. Trading blows is a death sentence.

By using the pronoun "they", you're implying the same person ("the Canadian government") as the post above. Per your sources, the statement was made by a single officer, with the actual police services quoted as advising differently. Your comment is inaccurate.
The end result of these side channel attacks would be to have CPUs that perform no optimizations at all and all opcodes would run in the same number of cycles in all situations. But that will never happen. No one wants a slow CPU.

As long as these effects cannot be exploited remotely, it's not a concern. Of course multi-tenant cloud-based virtualization would be a no go.
He talks like a duck and walks like a duck. If these religious quacks had made their claims with science, they wouldn't have been ignored.

No way. Google docs seems so pervasive. I use spreadsheets and docs constantly in my day to day life outside of work.

Isn't there a meme, like, the most important business decisions are made in the 1 inch column section of a Google doc.

I never worked with office online though.
The eu case seemed to make more sense and was pro consumer: open up messaging / App Store and switch to usb c.

This one seems different at first glance,
1) Apple makes an exception if you're China, unfortunately. This is how WeChat has taken off, and I bet WeChat could bully its way around the App Store rules to the detriment of competitors, another "special deal" from Apple.

2) This is about cloud gaming, when you're streaming the game from hardware in the cloud, like Xbox Game Pass. Streaming the game from your own hardware isn't as competitive to Apple since it requires you buy a $500 console or gaming PC.

3) The biggest issue was Apple not implementing RCS and defaulting every iOS user to iMessage, which has created a two-tier messaging system, friends getting locked out of chat groups, etc simply because Apple doesn't want to use the standard.

4) "Who cares" is not a valid argument in using your dominance in one market to dominate another, which is textbook anticompetitive behavior. They also do this with AirTags, Airpods, any accessory where the Apple product gets to use integrations with the OS and third-parties are forbidden from doing so.

5) Tapping your phone is more secure because the card number is randomized and single-use, protecting it from replay attacks.
Thanks that is a great question.

The thing with Steam that makes it different to me is the access control and gatekeeping. For example Steam hardware is so open that you can immediately install a different OS on it without even booting it. Steam hardware will happily run any third-party app store you want, including Epic Games their main rival. Steam also (AFAIK) don't do exclusivity BS like the consoles often do. So when it comes to Steam they are clearly competing fairly and evenly in a free market. If Apple were the same (iPhone could run 3rd party app stores, or you could install Android on you Apple hardware) I would have absolutely no problem with 30%. Hell I wouldn't even have a problem with 90%, because if they weren't providing that much value then a competitor would come in and take it from them.

Paul is wrong on Reddit, and I think his article written on 3/21/2024 shows how badly the perception of value is around Reddit with the community.

Because, he is not a user of Reddit, or, has completely missed the zeitgeist of the community

Users are outraged with Reddit

The UI is continually getting worse, and is iterating on worse

The Epstein/Maxwell relationship is insane, and previous political coverups evidences corruption at the highest levels of Reddit meant to ensure that only certain things frontpage.

The Admin Mafia is a very real thing

The pay levels of Reddit execs is nausea inducing

Reddit is likely a great example of value destruction.
Hi, thanks for the feedback. I believe the free version should be representative as a trial and also useful without upgrading. If you would like to try premium please email and I can add you to the test flight.

I designed the App to be running all the time on my MacBook as that is where I use Obsidian; during my usage I have observed syncing working with my machine plugged in and display closed. This should be possible to test yourself with the free 6 hour sync interval.

For the issue you mentioned, by any chance did you select an existing list or create a new empty list? If selecting an existing reminder list completed Reminders will be synced to the inbox. It was an untested flow, but I think it’s correct as the program ensures the list state is synced to the vault state. I believe the setup wizard recommends creating a new list, I will add a note that completed reminders will be added to your vault if you select an existing list.
The technology solution here is not allowing Karen from HR to have a password at all and instead using something like Yubikey + FIDO, which can't be phished.
I did sky diving some years back. I did feel acceleration immediately after the jump for a second, but then afterwards it was as if I was lying on bed. So what was that feeling I experienced (it was similar to maintain giant wheel coming down)
I'm sort of skeptical about that being a major factor, though I'll admit I've not seen any good surveys about it.

(My money is on "I already have this computer for work" being the single biggest factor, with "the graphics can be better on the PC" being #2.)
No argument from me on that. The upside is that one person, somewhere, has to get it right one time and then we can all use it.
CTRL+F for locks and found nothing relevant to bicycle secuirty. I assume there's some locking or valet system going on
I thought the name hinted at the fact that this was a WordPress replacement, not a static site generator (which there are plenty off).

I used to build lots of WordPress themes years ago. I've seen a lot of static site generators popping out every couple of months, or API-driven frontend frameworks linked to a headless CMS. I've (successfully) used a few of them. But what about "all-in-one" dynamic website engines? Are there new interesting ones out there that I have missed?
Where I work, we avoid this by doing at least one interview in person.

I think the lack of a unified, platform integrated chat platform, a la Slack and Teams, will hurt a lot. They did great with Google Docs, and then built out a ridiculously complicated but robust Workspace Admin platform, but don't even seem to be thinking about chat anymore.

Office, Office Web, and Teams are a nice fit for business users. Ops/dev still tend to gravitate towards Slack.

Which makes their RCS complaints even more ...amusing (yes, I know it's not really the same space, or the same team, or the same platform -- but it is chat).
No, that's not how it works.

The most effective way is to get a 'finance' app approved on the Apple/Google store (which is easy), then you send your victims there after grooming them for multiple weeks, then show above average returns, but not exceptional ones, so they keep depositing their savings, then when they try to withdraw, you make a message like 'you have to pay 40% taxes on your total earnings, please deposit that much before you can withdraw'.

That's why I think 'pig butchering', despite the negative connotation, is accurate. Yes, grooming is part of the scam, but it isn't the majority of it.
> Will I be able to keep my Jam files in Drive?

Surely you can keep any file in a Google Drive? The answer that they are going effectively remove files from Google Drives is ... worrying.
I really hope this doesn’t happen. The relative simplicity and reliability of Google docs in my experience has always been one of its major advantages over Microsoft Office, not to mention its near seamless real time collaboration functionality.
The consoles are the most obvious example, but there are other things, too.

Perhaps the "best" counter argument is the Mac App Store and Steam - both of which take a big cut, both of which can be "easily" bypassed for many apps, and both of which customers don't really seem to care about from a monetary point of view.

People care much more about what is or is not permitted, not where the money goes.
Bike storage was never a problem for me living in London, even when I lived on a tiny canal boat. I can’t imagine Parisian’s bicycles are that different nor their homes much smaller than a boat or my 75m2 flat. Yes, I also have a cargo bike for transporting kids. The only thing stopping anyone from cycling is their anxiety and sense of car-owing identity
If I care about my privacy, I much prefer the world where Apple just restricts APIs/integrations that are harmful to it than that they have to employ armies of lawyers and auditors to go after TOS violations after the fact.

I found a video of Toronto Police officer giving that advice in a town hall: https://toronto.citynews.ca/2024/03/14/leave-car-keys-at-fro...:

> At an Etobicoke safety meeting last month, Cst. Marco Ricciardi advised residents to leave their key fobs in a faraday pouch in a convenient place for thieves as a way to lessen the risk of violent confrontations.

> “To prevent the possibility of being attacked in your home, leave your fobs at the front door because they are breaking into your home to steal your car; they don’t want anything else.

> “A lot of them that they’re arresting have guns on them and they are not toy guns,” he ominously added. “They are real guns. They’re loaded.”
Did you put "Very Datk" in quotes because it was spelled like that where you saw it? Or is it just "Very Dark" and it's quotes because it doesn't fully imply what you get?
My thought exactly, this had to be written by someone who hasn't used reddit recently.
User reports metallic taste in mouth when using laptop
I’ve never understood the messaging interop angle when there are so many non-phone network based messaging apps available. It’s just always seemed the weakest of the arguments against Apple w.r.t. the iPhone. SMS/MMS/RCS standardization was historically a train wreck so it made sense to me for Apple to just support the minimum and be done with it. All of my groups chats that involve a mixture of iPhone and Android users has usually been on something like WhatsApp for this reason.

The other points seem much more specific and actionable.
Is there a sustainable business for a company that monetizes defenses against pig butchering?

If you could make a honey pot LLM that engages the scammers, costing them time and learning their patterns, even misleading the scammers and figuring out their crypto wallets, could that be a profitable endeavor?
Yes, but I'd also be surprised by a company's employees doing a universally good job abiding by such guidelines.

Yes, piracy is admittedly very popular. (And maybe 0.02% of said custom software isn't piracy, but...)
It’s much easier to identify and detect an app that does multiple things than identify trackings across multiple parts of an app.
EDIT: My comment was wrong, please see helpful corrections below!

I think there are technical limitations when you have different apps vs. one app. Simples being you need to log in to multiple different apps, but things like data moving between them etc are also complications.
So you would say that Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft are not large market players?
Tangential, first time bumping into Xata. What is the difference between Xata and Neon?

I thought Neon was serverless postgres too?

Re: ordering food by cellphone: paulg probably means doordash but via texts or calls navigating a tree of choices, as opposed to in an app/browser. Hence his vocabulary choice of "cellphone" not "smartphone".

You could even charge customers food orders indirectly via premium SMS texts. Without having to sign up for an account.
Can you expand on what "integrated with my iPhone" means in concrete terms? I don't really understand what you mean.
A PHD is a faster path to a green card as well - especially for people born in China and India where the green card backlog is decades long.
> There is no version of animal farming that if you did the same with humans wouldn't constitute human rights violations.

This is also true of vegetable farming.

If you are arguing that dividing humans from animals is arbitrary, the same is true of dividing the other kingdoms of life from Animalia.
I believe Apple needs more regulatory action taken against it for abusing it's dominant position. But apart from cloud streaming apps (which they've resolved recently by allowing them), I find these claims to be pretty weak and not significantly market-affecting.

I strongly believe Apple is under no obligation to make iMessage cross-platform. It's their service they invented, and they get to run it how they chose. SMS is the interoperable standard between different platforms, and RCS is the new standard which they've comitted to supporting.

I would much rather action taken on Apple for the anti-steering provisions restricting competition for payments. I think this has had a much bigger market impact than limitations on game streaming or smart watches.
ASML is threatening to leave the Netherlands
in #2 you’re talking about something else. those are streaming games from a console you own.

_cloud_ streaming where the game is running a ms/sony owned server is only available in a browser.

i don’t know about the sony side of things, but apple rejected ms’s native cloud streaming app.

Yes, how dare I give my opinion about tech on a thread about that tech on a forum collecting opinions on tech while children in Africa are dying of unpotable water diseases etc. etc.

In kind, imagine my reaction when I see you spending your time complaining about the inhumanity of my opinion about a product from your air conditioned first world ivory tower when you could fly to the third world, pick up a rifle, jump in a foxhole, and protect the poor children you claim to hold in perspective more than anyone else.

That’s not Apple’s doing. They introduced iMessage as a direct result of telecom companies charging customers for text messages a la carte. If DoJ has issues with those blue bubbles then they should’ve sued telecom back then. This entire suit is a joke.
I wouldn't look at it as "Should I get a job, or risk starting my own thing?". Even though this has been super common for years, it overlooks how much work even the most basic legitimate operation is in 2024.

It isn't always a choice. Many founders have trecherous failure in their backstory. Seems to be two consistent themes that drive people to do it.

1] "There is this problem / opportunity gnawing at my brain, and I MUST go do that. I must."

2] "I have literally no other choice and I will not die."
Holy shit, I want to do this so bad now. Maybe I’ll start answering those “Hot Asian MILFs In Your Area Want To Sex You” ads. LOLOLOL. Sadly they’re probably just OF ads and not scams though.
Facts don’t care about your feelings.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39780084
I agree. That's why I'm saying interop is not the root of the problem. Segregation of people based on whether they are using iMessage or something else combined with inability to install iMessage on non-Apple devices causes a social problem and a significant smartphone market pressure.
Real battery life, or marketing spec sheet battery life?

One of the things that impressed me about Apple when I started using their products was that advertised battery life was usually within 10% of what I’d actually get. I was used to those being lies to the tune of 30-50% from other vendors (phone and laptop alike)
Or Google or Amazon, how are those not way more blatant antitrust targets?
Good thing the most stringent generally accepted burden of proof for intent is “beyond a reasonable doubt”, not “100% mathematically certain”.

In his situation, no sane person of even average intelligence would have any cause to believe that Tesla would have autonomous vehicles by the end of the year.

At the time the statement was made, 5 years after Tesla began development, Tesla had not even begun testing with no driver. It has been 5 years since then and FSD is still 10,000x worse than human drivers and they have still not even begun testing with no driver.

He was lying beyond any reasonable doubt.

As to your laundry list of marketing slide bullet points. Can you please identify how a list of claimed accomplishments proves a unrelated statement is not a lie?

I can see how it could prove someone is a habitual liar since Elon Musk has not delivered safer-than-human “self-driving cars”, “cheaper underground tunnel boring machines”, or “high resolution BCIs” so half of your supporting statements are outright fabrications that you made zero effort to validate before repeating.

If that is the standard of proof you apply, then I would thank the stars if people would judge me as uncritically. I could make up any fantasy and people would eat it up because how could they know I am lying, maybe I am just a colossal moron, but also a genius visionary.
I was actually thinking about that - the number of paid non-game apps on my phone that I actually use? It's zero.

Most apps are free and are things like 2fa, chat apps, kindle, etc.

Would I be sad if the entire App Store shut down? Probably. Would it be enough to move me to Android? Uncertain, probably not.
Holy mother of based.

I love the current US government. Cracking down on pretty much all of Apples bullshit in one fell-swoop. Now just stop them from offering 8gb of ram on the base model macbooks, and apple might be the perfect tech company.

I'm really not knowledgeable about these new passkey systems.

If I switch to this sort of system, does that mean that I won't be able to check email using the library computers any more? I am required to use the same hardware each time, and that hardware must have its own internet access, correct?

Or is there a USB-based solution I can plug into the library computer to authorize my login? But I won't be able to download anything on the library computer....

My contingency planning for "house catches on fire and I have to leave in my underwear" or "on holiday and someone steals my stuff" currently depends on being able to log in to my account via someone else's device to send email or to chat.

In a future passkey system, if someone grabs your phone when you are visiting Amsterdam, throws it into a canal, and runs away, what do you do to recover? How do you log in to your email to get a copy of the ticket to print out using a hotel computer?

Because I can totally see griefers doing that. Your (used) phone might have a material cost of $400, while the economic impact it has on you is far higher.
I don't know, I have like ... 4-5 "platforms" on my phone. Not counting iMessage.

It somehow was a lot easier than migrating my data to an Android phone, for example.
