That is using a stack, at least a call stack: GOSUB will store a line number (or other reference) for RETURN to refer to, and if you nest GOSUB calls you have to remember multiple return points which requires some form of stack.

Though some BASICs didn't have a generic stack, instead a fixed array of return pointers and an index to the current one, so there was a fixed depth limit of, say, 7 calls, but from your PoV as the programmer this behaves as a call stack. Obviously this isn't a “proper” stack with local variables/parameters & such which you might expect when someone refers to a stack.

An interesting demo of what happens with nested (including recursive) calls that you could do with BBC BASIC in its native environment was that you could set the location of the stack to the top of display memory, and make sure you didn't do anything that would cause things to be drawn there of course, then you can watch the stack grow as work happens. The display was low-res enough that the pair of bytes for a return address could be seen as (in screen mode 1 or 5) eight chunky pixels (four in mode 2, but they would include flashing colours which is less ideal, sixteen in mode 0, 3, 4, or 6, but seeing individual bits doesn't work as well because a sequence of eight colours repeating amongst others is slightly easier to pick out then a sequence of 16 black/white ones).

> Apple should provide an option to opt-out of Siri "learn from app" for ALL applications.

You can.

Use the free Apple Configurator tool to generate a profile that has:

- "Allow Siri" unchecked
- "Allow Siri Suggestions" unchecked

Apple Configuratior is great. You can disable all sorts of things, e.g. iCloud access.

If your iPhone is on $org MDM, you can do the same on MDM.

Hmm here in Spain it's more difficult. Nobody uses SMS here (nor iMessage), it's all WhatsApp and Telegram. And most banks do force an app here (for 2FA payments for example). Tickets can go on paper yeah, though some restaurants I visit don't do paper menus (especially the asian ones).

Also some stuff for work is mobile-only. We have a stupid 2FA system that only works with a mobile app (the company gives us a phone but it does mean being tracked), and the same with the desk booking (I absolutely hate the office since we implemented flexdesks).

Cash is still common here yeah though I don't like dealing with it. I wish there was a mobile payment method that didn't rely on Apple or Google.

Don't be obtuse, there are many more forms of terrorism than suicide bombing. Israel should be more careful with the Palestinian population as a whole, but Hamas specifically have always been shitbags, are still shitbags and deserve every single shell coming their way.
Subscription pricing for using Windows 10 beyond 2025 is not cheap
Has HN descended to such lows as to idealize Hamas now?

Hamas terrorizes Palestinians, threatening those who dissent with cutoffs from basic amenities and even certain death. All of the aforementioned militia have good reason to distrust PA, because PA is the recognized representative of the Palestinian people by every single country in the world. No country gives a shit about Hamas. When aid is delivered to WB or Gaza, it's delivered in the name of the PA, even if they have lost control over Gaza for so many years.

And why does Hamas oppose PA? Because their ideal government is one with roots in the Muslim Brotherhood, which is a designated terrorist organization in the West as well as every surrounding country in the Middle East.

One could argue that Hamas is the rightful representative of the Palestinian people. But is it really? Elections held in Palestine are often a sham affair, with threats and coercion abound. But even if they won with a resounding majority, the fact that Palestinians en masse chose to elect an organization that cuts their water supply to make rockets from pipes says a lot more about the kind of people Palestinians are, and why they shouldn't be supported too much (something which every Arab neighbour of theirs has figured out pretty much).

I need to disagree with that reasoning.

A device you own is collecting and using data that pertain to your personal sphere, in ways defined by a vendor, and that you do not understand or control.

From that premise, you cannot hop to the conclusion that the data does not leave the device, because the entity deciding how the data is used is not telling you how the data is used.

we really are entering a dangerous phase of the climate crisis - people are pivoting from "oh, it's not real" to "oh, we should just do X", where X is any of:

- try to create a nuclear reactor industry in countries that don't have one (spoiler: it takes decades, which is too long, people need to get to zero greenhouse gas emissions with existing quick-to-deploy technology like renewables)

- try to sell their magic beans, like "SMR", which don't exist

- try to sell their super magic beans, like fusion research, which even if someone made it work tomorrow, would take too long to deploy

- try to suggest that geo-engineering is a well-understood thing that we could/should do and other things are less important

climate change can be stopped in the next few decades with basically just existing technology - choosing to not do it is a choice, which I would think most people would disagree with, but isn't being offered as a choice, but as a fait accompli from the established interests who don't want their industries to fall while others rise, even if that is what is good for society as a whole.
The authors appear to be associated the university which hosts the site. I doubt they are responsible for the engineering decisions behind the site, or that they "picked the outlet" per se. Authors tend not to have carte blanche control over the platforms on which they publish.

I don't know why you would judge the content of the article based on that, rather than its own merits, particularly given that the subject of the article isn't the security of web pages or cookies. If anything, what the article does discuss has far more egregious security implications than website cookies.

It saved me just yesterday when I needed to truncate hundreds of gigabytes of Docker logs on a system that had been having some issues for a while but I didn't want to recreate containers.

"truncate -s 0 /var/lib/docker/containers/**/*-json.log"

Will truncate all of the json logs for all of the containers on the host to 0 bytes.

Of course the system should have had logging configured better (rotation, limits, remote log) in the first place, but it isn't my system.

Ask HN: Hindi Conversational Text-to-Speech?
We were developing Sapien(https://smallest.ai/sapien), primarily focused on the Indian markets and we realize that there is no text-to-speech for conversational Hindi. US accents from elevenlabs and playHT are pretty good but Indian accents are narrative and not conversational in nature.

We are hence planning to develop this in-house. However if there is someone out there who provides low latency text-to-speech in conversational Hindi, then we would much rather use their solution.

Do you guys know anyone who does? Or do you think we should go after this ourselves?

The lying media cartel put the blame on AI and you all just believe it…
The main claim of the manuscript is essentially that primes correspond to the numbers whose residue modulo 2x3x5x7=210 is relatively prime to the modulus, i.e., not divisible by 2, 3, 5, or 7. Two issues with this:

(1) This is false. For example: every power of 211=2x3x5x7+1 is coprime with 210, and certainly every power of 211 above the first is not prime.

(2) Even if one gives them credit and say they only claim a negative result, i.e., a number >7 that is not coprime to 210 is not prime, it is completely trivial.

The manuscript does not contain any original idea of substance but does contain numerous false claims, the irresponsibility shown by various news sites in parroting this manuscript is astounding. This would never pass a peer review by any legitimate mathematician.

Lentils, chickpeas or beans can be boiled in a perfectly reproducible way and with minimum energy consumption in a microwave oven.

The boiling time depends on the quantity and on the oven, but it is unlikely to exceed 15 minutes (preferably after soaking them for a half day in acidified water, then rinsing them) (by acidified I mean adding a little lemon or lime juice, or vinegar or citric acid; such acid soaking removes much of the phytic acid from seeds or nuts).

I even bake my bread or my cakes in a microwave oven, because it is much faster and more reproducible than in a traditional oven. Thus I have stopped cooking for multiple days, because cooking any dish takes much less than a half hour (the wall clock time may be greater, but it includes times when the food is either in the oven or it must rest, but it is unattended and I can do other activities).
Android has this in the app manifest, but of course Google doesn't expose this to users

I really hate where the industry is at this point... Kubernetes is nice but the API is incredibly broad and complicated, overkill for the vast majority of applications. I liked Heroku much better for simple web development.

Helm is terrible. It's a bit like bash for kubernetes (string based templating, really??), instead of something strongly typed. This leads to text & obtuse yaml being the way to deploy complex applications to k8s, which leads to bad packaging.

Enforcing some kind of convention in Helm configs is a necessary evil. I see this project as a "contract" on helm configs, much like bitnami is doing (their Helm charts all look alike). It's about as good as bash scripts written in bash that all had a similar case/esac/getopts function to parse arguments.
The English summary focuses on the move from MS Office to LibreOffice (it's a post on the Document Foundation blog, so it makes sense that this is their focus), but the original German press release (1) lists 6 pillars:

- Switching from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice

- Switching the operating system from Microsoft Windows to Linux

- Collaboration within the state administration and with external parties: Use of the open source products Nextcloud, Open Xchange/Thunderbird in conjunction with the Univention AD connector to replace Microsoft Sharepoint and Microsoft Exchange/Outlook

- Conception of an open source based directory service to replace Microsoft Active Directory

- Inventory of specialist procedures regarding compatibility and interoperability with LibreOffice and Linux

- Development of an open source based telephony solution to replace Telekom-Flexport

So it's a good bit more ambitious than replacing MS Office.

We didn't have space for an orchard, but we did have space for a single combination tree.

A combination tree is rootstock with multiple apple varieties grafted on to it, often designed so that the different varieties can pollinate each other. Our specific tree has Chehalis, Honeycrisp, Beni Shogun Fuji and Jonagold varieties on it.

Other ways to grow apples in a limited space are columnar apples (they grow fruit close to the trunk and are nearly vertical) and dwarf rootstock.

Scarlet Sentinel, Golden Sentinel, and Urban Tasty are popular columnar varieties.

For rootstock their are specialized rootstock nurseries - and rootstock determines the size of the final tree more than the grafted variety does.

M27 (Super Dwarf) is an extremely compact rootstock that can be used to grow apples in containers, as the tree will max out around 2m. Bud 9 and B10 dwarf are also small, but will grow to around 3.5m.

If you want rootstock that will live around a century, you probably need Antonovka Standard, which will grow to about 7m.

I don't want to be a pessimist, but working with non-traditional tools is going to cost the taxpayers more money when important documents are not formatted correctly or the software behaves differently than the proprietary alternatives.
