Maradona was at his prime in the 80s, that was a very different time for sports in general, and very much football in particular. You can look at team pictures from back then and now and bodies have been way refined.

An other component is that natural talent and skill can compensate for a lot of hard work. Not all, but a lot.
Unfortunately the Bay Area is far too provincial to create a coherent system out of the twenty-odd systems out here, each with their own fare structure.

I like Varoufakis in general and I find this analogy interesting. However, his answer to this question was not satisfactory in my opinion, as many commercial arrangements including malls, are also based on percentages:

Q: A company like Apple might argue that instead of being a fiefdom, maybe the Apple App Store is more like a mall where companies have to rent their stores from whomever owns the building. How is technofeudalism different from the mall dynamic?

A: Well, hugely. Say you and I were going into partnership together with a fashion brand. We go to the shopping mall and we hire a shop, the rent is fixed. It is not proportional to our sales. The more money we make, the higher our price-to-rent margin. With the Apple Store, they get 30 percent of all sales. That’s not at all the same thing. That is the equivalent of the ground rent that the feudal lord used to extract from vassal capitalists.
(I can’t respond to your other comment)

Ah I see, you’re saying that the construction of a list in F# mandates a lambda, thereby reducing one possible point of confusion. I could agree with that. But then it comes at a cost of comfort: [0]*4 has less boilerplate than the F# version. So it comes down to trade-offs again.

I assume they mean this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buff_strength

> Buff strength is a design term used in the certification of rail rolling stock. It refers to the required resistance to deformation or permanent damage due to loads applied at the car's ends, such as in a collision. Particular emphasis on buff strength is placed in the United States, with buff strength requirements there being higher than in Europe.

Never heard of it before either.
This is incorrect. OpenSSL seeded its RNG also with data read from /dev/urandom.
Don't x64 binaries have to be 4k-aligned or something like that? I remember a video about runnable qr codes where this was a major point because they had to do trickery to make windows run binaries that were less than that.
I write C++ for high-performance Windows desktop applications that are used on a wide variety of form factors. This means that I still optimize a lot of things, such as what happens when a user edits a property in an edit box. How can that edit be minimized? How do I make sure that commands operate in less than a second? How can we hide latency when a long execution time can't be avoided? 99% of the time, optimizations are about doing less, not doing something faster or with lower-level code. You'll never write faster code than code that doesn't run.

I think the GPU would do a lot more work in most applications than it does today. If a process needs to be super fast, when applicable, I write a compute shader. I've written ridiculous compute shaders that do ridiculous things. They are stupidly fast. One time I reduced something from a 15 minute execution time to running hundreds of times per second. And I didn't even do that good of a job with the shader code.
Don't get caught up in marriage to a particular tech flavor. Instead, architect and use a generic db adapter pattern that translates a more generic SQL/GraphQL flavor into whatever is necessary and efficient underneath for that particular DBMS or store. Meta does this for many warm storage services. It makes changing underlying DBMSes and scalability architectures much easier to develop and reason about than if every app has to know everything about its backend(s).

On Apple's devices, you cannot disable that BLE broadcast. The same is true on the Pixel 8: https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/8/24123909/google-pixel-8-pr.... That's the whole point of this design, and fundamentally different than just having some app ping a server once in a while so long as it has network access.
Right, "who cares" about the truth in our dystopian world? 1984 is apparently too long ago for people to remember the ministry of truth...
That post is deserves its own post on HN, what a ride.
This only works on the device itself, and while it can contact the internet or SMS. It's more akin to a self-hosted version of device locating features pre-airtag.

I think the real utility of tile/airtag/google-find-my-device is the network of other colluding devices listening for bluetooth pings and reporting on the location. Not least because apple (maybe google, don't know) forces your device to send reports if you want to use the feature. Heck, on modern phone OSs, you can't use BLE in apps without turning on the location service.
Did anyone really expect 10 dollars a month to be enough to be sustainable? That's the price we used to pay for a single album and it seems way too low for a sustainable flatrate music service.

It's "R.I.P.", not "RIP".
I'm not sure I understand the premise, because CPU speeds were 20x slower. Just go back a decade or two.

They weren't some halcyon days of bug-free software back then, quite the opposite.
An open source backend that requires end to end encryption on a per-user-storage basis, while not sharing those keys in the open source client (reference implementation) could effectively prevent third parties from seeing the data.

Something like shamir's secret sharing with split up keys effectively making the encrypted data useless, or based on time frames so you can only track the last "epoche" (like the last 24 hours, maybe?) similar to how HOTP/TOTP works could work nicely I'd imagine.

At Tholian (my company) we're using team based keys where at least 2 of x keys (the elected lead and co lead) in the team must co-sign a data changing action. It's peer to peer, meaning those peers can find each other and co-sign this without our servers having to store any transaction queue that could be compromised.

This way we prevent abuse, and if the feds come knocking on our doors, our users stay protected because without those keys we cannot see what's going on in any of the registered teams.

That's how I think it should be like, for any web service that supposedly keeps their privacy promises. If they don't do this, their promises were likely lies and once the root keys or the databases are compromised there's no turning back.

Looking at you, cross-tenant keys at Azure. Everyone knows you were and are still lying about the security aspects.
I'm not saying the Thailand cave diver tweets weren't... a bit too colourful for a CEO.

It's just that I wouldn't attribute that necessarily to an inherent malicious personality type.

You've got to keep in mind that at the time Elon was under enormous pressure because the Model 3 production numbers weren't up to expectations. He was working round-the-clock, sleeping in the office, and taking sleeping pills. Ambien especially is known to cause people to behave erratically.

There's a fundamental difference between leaders that are outright evil, harming others directly for their own gain, and leaders that just fucked up late at night while zonked out on medication.

Take the Sacklers for example. They knowingly, deliberately, purposefully marketed addictive painkillers to make money. They addicted hundreds of thousands of Americans to drugs, and directly killed thousands.

Elon tried to make self-driving as safe as possible. He's limited by technology, not morals.
> I think your body tends to get strong where it needs to.

It’s more that the human body is very good at shedding the non required. The result is the same, but the logic is different, human physiology will actively and quickly cannibalise under-utilised muscle mass as muscle mass is expensive.
US is basically below the EU for wealth with a smaller population. Your response appears to be ignoring the basic facts. So while the US is a big target, targeting the EU on money and population wise would be better, yet they choose to focus on USPS because that converts well.

Since we can assume the US does not have as much disposal cash as the EU since they earn less yet have more wealth. They have less people than the EU. It's that USPS converts specifically well. It looks very likely the reason it's USPS is that folks from the US are very easy to trick.

While I understand it's unpleasing for US citizens to admit that their population is easier to trick. But if they improve their education and stop being so far down in the charts this might not be the case.

Single-letter commands have a clear meaning once you have learned enough of Vim. https://stackoverflow.com/a/7411851/546861

> Like, is it word forward or word backwards? W doesn't tell you.

W doesn't have to tell you anything. W being the reverse of w is a grammar rule that is supposed to be learned and internalized, like the other grammar rules (count, etc.).

> So if you're used to qwerty W it makes perfect sense to keep the much stronger muscle memory intact when switching layouts and use non-W in the same spot

No. What would make perfect sense would be to retrain your muscle memory around your new layout.
This article doesn't say much. Should probably reference the original article:

Regardless of where you stand on this issue I feel that's a bit of a pointless nit-pick, because he's obviously not referring to those cases where mall rents are based on percentages. He clearly would argue that those would be the same system as the one he is arguing against. It's clear he's talking about the case he sets up to contrast two different models.
1. What is your issue with Perl with regarding to this project?

2. Is the project not more or less complete?

3. See above.

4. What exactly is the issue?

As for alternatives, I do not see any mentioned. I did hear about https://zolk3ri.name/cgit/zpkg/ though.
where did you go to high school?
Absolutely so. There are corner patterns but also side patterns and other patterns; all of them are 'joseki', known and often played sequences.

These can be memorized. But that's almost useless without understanding why these patterns are good. You still need to pick a pattern that works well with the rest of the board, in particular which conditions elsewhere on the board influence it (ladders, ko) and you need to know all the punishments for deviations. That's really difficult and often subtle, and it is where strong players as well as AI easily outplay someone who just mindlessly memorized patterns.
It’s very interesting to see how what is considered a fit healthy body has changed over time. Just take a look at the original Star Trek series - William Shatner was often wrestling with various aliens with his top off - at the time he would have been considered a prime specimen.

This started changing back in the 80s with the popularity of Schwarzenegger and later Stallone.

In many ways, the unrealistic body expectations that used to be applied mostly to women are now applied across the board.

"Yeah but you are clearly the same person as yesterday," I said. At this point Abi appeared to admit that she was indeed Charlie. "I was sad you blocked me," she said. I twice asked Abi "who are you?", getting no clear response, before she replied: "What are you expecting me to say? I was horny and I messaged you. That's kind of it." For want of a better phrase, I was now really creeped out. I blocked Abi again. But I was surprised by how violating it felt to have someone being so strange to me over my phone.

Omg, it's all playing on male psychology and sexuality. It's pretty fuckin predatory.
That list is mostly false. I've used government services, sold used things on the internet, read what politicians say (in detail) and bought food online without using those sites.

Twitter is in fact a bad place to engage with politicians because, by design, you only get soundbites. It is much more informative to go straight to the parliamentary records if you care about politics.

> Also, no real alternative to YouTube's content.

About 40-50% of what I watch is being sloooowly driven off YouTube because they don't like right wing opinions. They all have duplicate channels on multiple sites. And even a lot of the non-political stuff is starting to appear in a few places because it makes more economic sense.
In the design world, platforms can look out of date quickly. Here we explore how updating legacy design systems can be made easy.
Medieval serfs could be rewarded with food housing at no monetary cost as well, but it didn't make the system any less unjust.

Also, having the company pay for infrastructure costs does not necessarily imply that users are getting the upper hand in this deal. They are providing "value" (quotes intentional) to customers at the lowest cost possible, otherwise it would not be a viable business.
> which leads to the US government saying stuff like “well we don’t know if you’re married but you can sign an affidavit in front of us”. The American Empire, barely capable of a proper census!

How would a census help? That's just you declaring your marital status in front of them, without having to sign anything; it has even less probative value than what you're presenting as a stopgap measure that wouldn't be necessary if the census worked better.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If the software is ok and it's free, why throw money at it? Companies generally spend as little money as possible. The tech industry in the past 10 years was an aberration, because it was fueled by cheap VC money who see tech as "winner take all" market (which means that, if you outspend your competition, you will eventually end up with a money-printing monopoly). Hence, the $400k packages for individual contributors.
to remain on t he topic... obv. those 5$ would also go to all youtube channels gosh, those could also be 30$ if you really want to split revenue more equally, so everyone could be 30$ richer and open ai and all newcomers under that legislation could be dead, yeah probably we'll specialize on niche , small, and costly ai each with their limited and licensed dataset
Considering the unification church supported Nixon back in the day in an attempt to worm their way into US politics (and has since then regularly participated in GOP affairs), this isn't really anything too new.

A lot of German law is based around the unstated assumption that business owners are 19th century industrial tycoons and all workers are employees. There are a lot of protections for employees (dependent workers) but practically zero for freelancers, for example. The concept of co-owning a business with your spouse is also alien to German law as in almost every situation it's more beneficial for one of both to either be an employee or primarily work elsewhere.

And don't get me started on being a business owner and wanting to become a mother. A lot of women business owners abandon their companies to get hired as regular employees when they want to have children.

Ask HN: Grep.app Alternative?
https://grep.app/ has served me well for the last couple of years finding snippets for random APIs.

But recently I found that certain strings from open-source projects suddenly yield no results.

Is there some alternative service for this task that is up-to-date?

A serf working the field is still rewarded with (part of) the harvest, the knowledge of having done good work, and the respect of neighbors. Praskovia Kovalyova-Zhemchugova "was a Russian serf actress and soprano opera singer", with her own brand and following ("Figes describes her as Russia's first "superstar"); quotes from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praskovia_Kovalyova-Zhemchugov...

I think it's a tricky argument since there the feudal system was much more complicated than, say, sharecropping or tenant farming, as the lord was obliged to protect his serfs and protect their right to use the land. I think sharecropping is a better analogy.

It's also tricky as serfdom and feudalism cover a wide range of systems which are not well described in popular culture. Serfdom in 1800s Russia was far different from serfdom in 1400s England.

When you write "All at no monetary cost to you", remember that serfs mostly paid in time and work, not money. And the lord had costs as well, like the cost of providing military protection.
When MP2 came out, my computer was barely able to play a song in 44.1 kHz 16 bit mono. I think bitrate was 192 kbps, but not sure.

It’s actually two separate aspects, there’s the network for crowdsourced finding, and there’s the localisation of unwanted trackers.

The feature that lets you ring nearby trackers is actually standardised between Apple, Google, Samsung and the others. It goes by DULT - Detection of Unwanted Location Trackers.

The crowdsource networks are not compatible.
Beats me. I can't find anything definitive on this. Since Apple devices continue to broadcast Find My signals even when powered off (as long as they have a little bit of battery left), I assume they continue to do so in airplane mode.

Yeah, the methodology here is bothering me. Did they really dig 4m+ deep? Must be really hard work, but impressive nevertheless. Maybe they did use some water spades to ease up the digging?

Mapping the Margins by Kimberlé Crenshaw (1991) [pdf]
Tangential but funny story from some years ago, did the same on a virtual reality app (Qt, Oculus SDK) so talking multi-threaded renderer, tons of background activity, even spawned a mini helper server to process tasks and such and did custom hacking (registry, window flags) to override windows features to make the app snappy. Distinctly remember spending weeks on startup time to get the app to consistently drop the user into a session between 250 - 500ms even from cold launch which involved something like a mini page file to capture state and other things only for my boss at the time to come and say the app was "too fast", users couldn't see the splash screen so we added a random(1.f, 3.f) second sleep...

Sometimes you have enough cpu and not enough bandwidth. Remote expeditions, rural schools in underdeveloped parts of the world, etc. You can stream a bunch of stuff (news, audiobooks, daily lectures, etc.) via (otherwise pricy) satellite links, and then a raspberrypi or whatever solar powered device can decode the audio without having to be real-time.

It's not a use for "everybody", but it might reduce the costs for those people who need this (or make new things viable).
The physiological property that is used as a proxy for cardiovascular fitness is usually the bodys maximum oxygen consumption.

Strength training apparently has only very very little effect on that. [1] [2] [3]

Generally, to increase the maximum oxygen consumption, one has to exercise at about 90% of the maximum heart rate. This usually doesn't happen during strength training.

Unrelated. Test automation is not an indicator of insecurity. If the mere presence of tests expose security vulnerabilities your product is insecure irrespective of the tests. In these cases fix the security problems.

I have always shipped test automation in production with my personal software. It allows users to independently validate the health of the product in their own operating conditions and write better more precise defects.
