Eh. The thing I miss the most: stop reloading pages/tabs when switching back to safari (or any browser, since it's all the same webview).

If apple wants to treat the web like documents, that's fine, but then don't make it suck like an app. If a page is loaded, there is NO reason to randomly reload it because iOS deems it has been too long. Maybe it's a general problem with iOS killing apps in background, I don't care, it sucks.
Show HN: I made a customizable workout tracker for iOS
Hello everyone, for some time I wanted to have an easy to use, modern workout tracker, with no default exercises or workouts in it. I wanted to be able to build my own library from scratch.

Then I've built Fit Records. The features briefly:

- Building your exercise/workout library
- Recording your training sessions
- A companion Apple Watch App
- Charts for your progress
- Activity Insights for your workout trends

Let me know what you think, and if you have any questions.
With a warrant, they definitely can legally record you without your consent and your knowledge, e.g. secretly invading your home and placing recording devices there - IMHO that's the point of the parent post; while there are checks and balances that require legal review, in the end, the government can do all that unilaterally after a judge approves that it is necessary.
Quantum physics and relativity were a radical departure from classical mechanics and remain very counter-intuitive for laypeople so it's not hard to see how contemporary persons with ulterior motives and little interest in scientific inquiry would fixate on those.
I am interested in this. Can you point to a reference about the application of LLMs to sequence secreening? Thanks.
Geez was staring at this trying to find icons and didn't realize on mobile the bottom drawer wasn't just part of the browser. Good stuff. Took this fun milk carton concept to a usable next level.
Off topic: We don't have missing people on milk cartons here in Europe. Seeing them always reminds me of being a teenager, watching Blur's Coffee and TV music video on MTV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oqXVx3sBOk
It’s also important to remember that Google is an advertising company.

And some features e.g. long lived first party cookies which are used for retargeting serve no legitimate purpose except to support advertisers.
Using deadly force against police officers in the middle of doing their duty is a recipe for being beaten and then murdered, even if you were technically within your legal rights to do so.
I think the feature to compare could be made a little more obvious - I can see why they would default to Chrome (both the most popular browser & also the one that shows the starkest difference), but tbh I find the most interesting comparison being against macOS Safari - that list seems really surprising to me.

This also would of course be even nicer if you could define any browser as the "target" (e.g. compare Chrome -vs- Firefox) but then that wouldn't serve their very nice domain purchase as neatly.
I'm not the previous poster, but the words "by someone elected" don't belong in your question. No citizen with a brain is going to select police to review their own behavior, even if they are selecting them to do policing. In fact, I don't think you're unclear on anything: you're just attempting to direct people away from the actual issue with some bad-faith feigned ignorance.
> The current-day 'Western values' are Christian values. The most recent instance of non-Christian values being practiced in the West would probably be Nazism

I'm sure this feels right to you, but to get there you have to decide that the actual "Western values", which have little to do with Christianity, are instead somehow Christian, while the contrary practices of some Christians aren't.

The Nazis were mostly Christians, it could hardly have been otherwise given how Christian Germany was at the time. Yes, some Nazis wanted to destroy Christianity (and all of them wanted a Church subservient to their politics, but that was true everywhere, it's why the Church of England even exists) but on the whole they're a product of Christianity, even if that's uncomfortable for you.

I think Shorts are great. What is your issue with them?
That was my first thought, but my takeaway from reading the article is that they weren't doing cremations in-house or on site, but had to pay another company for the work. It mentions that they were slapped with a judgement for failing to pay for approximately 200 other cremations already.

From an engineering "normalisation of deviance" pov, I really can't imagine how things cascade so badly you end up with 190 human bodies piled in a room.
> Generally the minimum requirement to be a judge is to pass the bar and then get elected by people who don’t know anything about you.

In large swaths of the rural parts of the US, judges are not required to pass the bar exam.

Those graphs clearly say that the state is pulling from non-renewable sources (primarily natural gas and "imports") between the hours of 7PM and 7AM. As I look at the page, right now (3:30AM local time), California is producing less than it needs, and the deficit is about 15,000MW. It isn't even close.

It's fine to say that California is producing more than it needs on net, but adding up total production over 24h and subtracting total consumption over 24h and seeing a positive value isn't meaningful if you're actually dependent on conventional sources for 12 hours a day.

But sure, it's more than a few minutes.

Nuclear is never meant to scale, you want to run the plant at 100% as much as possible to recoup costs. It is baseload power and you deal with peaks using peaker plants and batteries.
The one browser API I wish every browser would support is the File System Access API.

Because with it, we can offer users to hold their data natively on their devices. Instead of storing everything in the cloud.

So far, I think only Chrome on the desktop supports it. Here is a nice demo:

https://googlechromelabs.github.io/text-editor/

A text editor that works just like a native application.
There are 2 different ambiguities there:

1. Ambiguous may, which could refer to permission or to possibility

2. Doesn't specify which party is permitted to do the recording/might be doing the recording

Makes me wonder why that phraseology is so widespread. Why not use We might record this call?
imo I would hit the brakes and coast to the side the road as soon as possible, then turn off the car.
Ludicrous that they made such an openly user-hostile interface. Won't show you runtime, won't show you the clip author, just maximally entice the user to click so they get sucked into the infinite dopamine machine. Absolutely unconscionable.
With nuclear you have the option of running the reactors at 50% peak and produce energy at approximately twice the cost per kWh.
The transition (especially in comparison to things like Partition of India, or more recently the Breakup of Yugoslavia) was surprisingly reasonable.

The USSR changed the socioeconomic system for its 290 million people, and did so with what, hundreds or thousands of deaths? (I think Romania alone had more deaths during transition than the entire rest of the Warsaw Pact)

One that stood out was the audio element being able to read the volume, but not set it. Apple has always had the stance that user preferences like this should only directly be changed by the user, not by an application. There are 2 convenient buttons on the side of my iPhone, there is no need for any website to ever be able to mess with my volume settings.

Why? All modern nuclear reactors do load following. I believe it’s even an EU requirement. And certainly the practice in France.

Nuclear costs the same thing whether you use it or not. If you meet the peak energy demand with nuclear you might as well save the construction of intermittent renewables.

The current laptops have a HDMI port. DP over USB-C doesn't require active conversion. I think you're slightly jumping at shadows here.

Figuring it out! Going from all loose ends to a decent picture of what's going on can be really satisfying.
Yes, the map rotated in real time with the vehicle centered. I was a software developer writing software using Etak in '88-'89 time frame. That only worked when focused on a single vehicle, as I remember writing the code to do the same for groups of vehicles and Etak wanted to purchase that code from my employer. they probably got it, as my lead developer I worked for ended up working at Etak after I left.

Interesting side-fact: we used time-of-flight with beepers placed in the cars and ordinary trigonometry to increase accuracy. Worked like a charm.
The APIs coming with a security or privacy risk are always gated by a permission prompt on the web (contrary to platform-specific apps). Safari has gone even further by only allowing some of them (e.g. Push notifications) for installed web apps.

These APIs are also much more restricted than their proprietary-ecosystem equivalent.

Overall, web apps having access to these features in Chrome are an order of magnitude safer than platform-specific apps.
We’re crying at a pretty high level IMO. So many cool APIs are available now in all browsers that enable us to build things that used to be impossible on the web.

So don’t only focus at what isn’t here yet.
And when you are ready to go for bit lower level, try Zachtronics games:

What is inherently wrong with this?

Why should someone own an idea, just because they had the idea first? I think most people would agree with paying people for their work, and the benefits to society of providing some protections.

But this whole discussion is around where to draw that line and you seem to be starting from "ultimate control by originator" wheras others would perhaps start at "ultimate gift to society"?
This headline is incredibly misleading. Thank you for sharing this.
We're in the UK, and we're trying. There is a lot of information around, and books written, on how to manage the process here in the UK, but the reality is that it takes a lot of time and constant pushing to eventually succeed in having your child evaluated. We're on the path though, thanks.

I had Descent 1 on PS1, and I remember the box claiming the enemies adapted to your play style. Now that I'm older and have studied machine learning and some other AI techniques, I've always wondered exactly what that meant. I'm sure my PS1 wasn't doing gradient descent (heh).

What tricks were behind the claim that the enemies learned and adapted to the player?

That's why you use a fast neutron (breeder) reactor to extract up to 90% of the potential fissionable "fuel" from that uranium instead of just a few percent. Another option is the use of thorium of which is there is ca. 3 times as much. By the time both uranium and thorium run out there'll either be practical fusion energy or one of those new battery technologies which are always popping up.
>the words "by someone elected" don't belong in your question [about power derived from elections].

Do they not belong because they are untrue, or perhaps because they make your taking exception to their argument incoherent? Nah, it must be that everyone who disagrees with you on the internet has no brain in bad faith.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a missing person on a milk carton in the US either. It is only something I’ve seen in TV and movies, and I’m in my 40s. My assumption is that this was a thing from the 1950s, but someone who grew up during that era would have to speak to it. I suppose it’s also possible it was a regional thing and I wasn’t in a region that did it.

The list doesn't tell the full story though, my biggest problem with it is that it's overall a buggy browser. I've encountered bugs on localStorage & indexDB, forms, SVG and CSS overflow, buggy border radius on videos (not sure if this one is fixed now) all of those being very basic web features.

I feel like they lack a lot in the QA side of things, it doesn't feel very polished.

I'd be more accepting of Safari if it would be more polished and had a better release cycle (it's also the last major non-evergreen browser), all the next gen features are good sure, but not a replacement for those problems.
Also an anarchist! Totally agree. Oh how I dream of it!

It's been very frustrating watching so much police violence, corruption, etc. being openly reported internationally and nothing changing, at all. In Australia (and from what I've heard of the US) there's not much of an effort to try and suppress news of or spin better PR over the horrific stories of police brutality and corruption any more. Like they're not even bothering to keep up pretence and plausible deniability any more. It feels like we're unfortunately a long way from re-evaluating the police even very strictly within the current political frameworks we have. Gotta try to stay optimistic and active, though!
Couldn't help but think it would be epic if it went the other way - you throw files into a folder, it's set as read-only and then share that as a torrent.

Yes. Not just with a warrant, but often without a warrant or just cause. The police can lie to you, violate your rights, and do almost anything they want to you, but if you don't have body cam or other video/audio evidence, as so many, many people have found, you are screwed.

There is an excellent shortcut called "Hey Siri, I'm being pulled over" that "will dim your phone, pause any music being played, and start recording video from your front-facing camera."

Not all cops are bad, but the power imbalance makes these issues necessary for citizens to protect themselves.

The message text should say.

> You have requested a replacement sim card. To proceed with the replacement now, reply "Yes". To keep this sim card, reply "No". If you do not reply, a replacement will be mailed to your billing address: 54 Wolverton Gardens in 7 days, and this sim will be deactivated.

An attacker now has to overcome the time delay, and the fact that the replacement sim card must be mailed to the billing address. For those people who have an outdated billing address and lose the sim card, require the sim to be offline for 7 days, or demonstrate access to an email address or credit card on the account.
If you create something it is already not yours now. "Intellectual property" is not property. You are only given a limited time monopoly over distribution in order to encourage more creation to further the commons. If you take your past creations out of the commons you have broken that deal so why should the rest of society keep up their part?
Thanks to ITA Software (powering Kayak and Orbitz), Google dedicates resources to open-source Common Lisp development. More specifically, to SBCL:

> Doug Katzman talked about his work at Google getting SBCL to work with Unix better. For those of you who don’t know, he’s done a lot of work on SBCL over the past couple of years, not only adding a lot of new features to the GC and making it play better with applications which have alien parts to them, but also has done a tremendous amount of cleanup on the internals and has helped SBCL become even more Sanely Bootstrappable. That’s a topic for another time, and I hope Doug or Christophe will have the time to write up about the recent improvements to the process, since it really is quite interesting.

> Anyway, what Doug talked about was his work on making SBCL more amenable to external debugging tools, such as gdb and external profilers. It seems like they interface with aliens a lot from Lisp at Google, so it’s nice to have backtraces from alien tools understand Lisp. It turns out a lot of prerequisite work was needed to make SBCL play nice like this, including implementing a non-moving GC runtime, so that Lisp objects and especially Lisp code (which are normally dynamic space objects and move around just like everything else) can’t evade the aliens and will always have known locations.

I agree with you - comma - and there's also a perception that email is less important to the workings of daily life than it is because it's free.
