"42 School" which is the "school" his degree comes from is a glorified boot camp. It's one of the popular ones (in France)

It's an immediate red flag for many French tech companies when hiring.

Rant: I dislike this boot camp for what it does to parents of teenagers who are promised their child will have a career in tech, but then are not taught the skills they need to grow, so they come on the job market with -2 years of experience because they have to relearn everything (but often don't want to put the effort to do so) because they are attracting lost teenagers that like playing video games, not teenagers that actually want to learn CS and/or Software Dev.

So, you get unmotivated people with a bad attitude and no useful skill, as they need babysitting.

Source: I've interviewed many ppl coming from this school and talked with n>10 founders about their experience hiring from there

Thanks for the link. This one was also posted awhile back in a rust comment and when I first read it, I thought Google had used Rust in the V8 sandbox, but re-reading it seems that the article uses Rust as an ‘example’ of a memory safe language but does not explicitly say that it uses Rust. Maybe someone with more knowledge can confirm that Rust was (or was not) used in the V8 Google Chrome sandbox example….

I had similar issues, and I wish I could remember what solved it. It was something stupidly dumb like I had to log out and log back in on my phone or something. There have a couple of different edge case bugs that prevent people from signing up, and Apple customer support is useless on this.
Some interesting bits:

* The dev appears to quitely rummage through his customer's computers using "DRM" built into his product.

* Some people were banned for accused association with a mod community or having IDA installed on their computers, which they deny. They're also questionable reasons for banning to begin with.

* The product appears to have a some sort of "pirate detection scheme" based on hashes. I can imagine how that can be unreliable depending on how it's implemented, like if it's inspecting process memory for example. Anyways, the software phones home if there's a mismatch.

* Despite numerous reports that his "pirate detection scheme" isn't working as intended, he sends threats and verbal abuses to customers contacting him about the matter. He claims his software are "flawless."

* Someone even went as far as to offer this untrustworthy dev remote access to their computer over Team Viewer, but he still wouldn't budge.

For Apple, Swift is their Rust, regardless of the world outside Apple's ecosystem thinks about it.

It is clearly stated on Swift's documentation, they already hold a couple of talks at C++ conferences about code migration, and is one of the reasons why nowadays they mostly focus on LLVM contributions instead of clang.
Based on some reports that’s way below their estimates and they were forced to cut production even before releasing it in other markets. That’s basically the definition of a “flop”..
Direct democracy, ranging from majority vote to some kind of consensus or consent. Considering someone not working - in anarchy you can always pick with whom you associate with so you can just not associate with a persons who you feel is too lazy.

That's very unlikely. If you talk to anyone working in a public library or a local non-profit assisting elderly/homeless people, you will notice these issues are systemic and not isolated cases. From the cases i would see first hand, nothing would suggest that they had been compromised in any way.
Taking creatine cured my lightheadedness that occurs when standing up after squatting for a few minutes, which happens a lot at my job (plumbing). It also reduced other negative effects of sleep deprivation, such as impaired cognition, but to a lesser degree.
I wonder if BitWarden doesn't support passkeys too.

BitWarden is open source to a large degree and even provides an (open source) server for self-hosting.
I think the crux is this heading: Making a fun & interesting games is about rapid prototyping and iteration, Rust's values are everything but that

Jon Blow said that in one of his talks: Rust treats all code as production code. For most of the duration of a project, that's counterproductive, because it introduces a significant amount of unnecessary friction.

For most of a game's development, you're trying to figure out what the game's supposed to be. Only later does it crystallize. Rust doesn't recognize the non-crystalline phase, or rather explicitly rejects it as invalid.
I heard that early versions of C++ IntelliSense from Visual Studio used Edison Design Group's (EDG) front end. Is that true? No trolling here -- honest question. If yes, are they still using it now?
The "No free lunch" theorem does have some prequisites for it to actually apply.

Temu sells absolute junk, with fake reviews (almost everything you browse is 5-stars)
But people want to write Rust and a game seems like a fun way to do it. They can already use Godot or Unity with this approach.
In that case, right back at you on "strongest possible interpretation" - The focus of that first comment wasn't "soy", it was "what the animal eats". That response was both responding to the important portion while correcting them on cow diets.
And yet the fact that Bannerlord game logic is entirely in C# makes this possible:

which in turn makes it a lot easier and more convenient to mod. Try that with Rust...
Didn't someone discover the unpachable NSA backdoors in the M series processors recently? Could be related.
Wow, I stand corrected, sorry. This seems entirely absurd, so much extra complexity is crazy.
I use Tailscale, NextCloud (files, pics, calendar, contacts), Podverse, Obsidian, Bitwarden (Vaultwarden), Home Assistant, ProtonMail, Signal, Element, …. If my iPhone (iCloud) goes down it’s just a node in the network with all my data still my own and available.
Couldn't see older photos/videos in the Photo app.

Reminder for any iOS user that needs instant iCloud Photos backups (instead of manual monthly), get a Mac Mini, enable the Photos app, disable optimize for storage and keep it on to keep your memories safe.
Always check the recently deleted folder on the Mac every month since iCloud by design is a two-way sync and not a backup, unlike most clouds that are one-way upload (doesn't touch your local files).

Cold storage backup every month using the photos on the Mac should be easier as well.
Well said...a secure system is treated as an information system where all subsystems should have minimally at least three complimentary controls. It just isn't that hard.

A secure system facing the internet should have the default ports changed...then should someone with a zero day and the exploit posted on Git...casual scanning for the known port will fail.
> worldwide small market share

It's a premium product. Iphone has the majority of US (and thus wealthy) customers. It's seen as premium in other wealthy nations as well. Second largest company in the world by market cap means that they clearly operate with more than enough customers who matter to get things done.

I used to be a hardcore linux everything person. Over time I stepped into the walled garden and found I enjoyed not having to constantly think about the interop of everything. It's different for everyone.

> Where am I going to run my servers and software development stack?

Right now you need a laptop. Rapidly approaching a future where devcontainers and remote dev servers will let you dev anywhere you want, where you just choose the interface of choice. You may want a laptop,

I may want to have multiple screens for analyzing data, modifying code, and doing other operationsy things.

The point overall is: Apple is good at shipping products that people want and iterating and improving them. That is undeniable. It does take time to iterate and improve, and Vision will probably get there because this pattern of product is in their DNA.
> Media: Is Apple going to do a car?

> Cook: Hey, guys. Maybe we should do a car.

It was Jobs’ idea, not Tim’s.
At work for company product problem is that everyone has an opinion on UI/UX.

It is just super hard to get people agree on one way or the other.

No one has opinions on my database design or architecture.

I can see how OSS project leaders that are developers not really wanting to deal wit UI/UX drama where everyone can make up something and you have to fight for every small detail.
I vastly prefer CGNAT to IPv6, because CGNAT preserves my privacy by default, and IPv6 eliminates it by default. It’s that simple.

While it’s possible for an ISP to unmask me on CGNAT (Verizon and AT&T did in the early smartphone days)- and it’s possible for an ISP to NAT/Wildcard my IPv6 address for privacy - it’s the default in 99% of the cases; and I prefer default privacy to the ability to be directly addressable at home.
Greenhouse gas emissions might have already peaked
Definitely twitter. This is where everything is announced and commented
Very true. And now with the whole AI thing becoming common, many are starting to rethink this whole concept.
C++ is only independent on the surface, as all the big players seat at WG21, and it goes where their votes say it goes, plus what actually gets implemented into compilers (none of them is 100% ISO compliant, each one has minor compliance issues).

Same applies to C, stuff like C23 is decided by who gets to join WG14.

In both cases, someone has to buy the final standard from ISO.
We don't need nationalised alcohol, tobacco, or paracetamol production to ensure safety, so why would we need the production of other drugs nationalised?
> Best exercise bike articles, and such, are what lots of people people actually search for

Google doesn’t have to return the SEO-optimized page. Google has other options:

- Return 10 results of the 10 top products,

- Derank any site that seems SEO-optimized,

- Derank any commercial site,

- Derank any site with a cookie banner (implying the user is tracked and the writer is trying to write what the user wants to read) or the infamous mailing list popup,

- Prioritize comparisons from brick-and-mortar journals, or give credentials to other vectors of trust,

- Act as a paid directory, where only paid answers appear,

- Return individual positive and negative comments about products, extracted from review pages, maybe even in a graph (“Good for USB-C according to 95% of the reviews, provides an electric shock according to 7% of non-affiliated comments”).

There WERE many options. Google CHOSE to rank awful sites that provide decreased value, and worse than that, it chose that all other sites won’t be viable, killing them. Google chose the face of the internet today.
It was a stupid statement and distracts from the rest which was a valid question.
What this says is IOT devices leak their MAC within their IPv6 address.

Quick solution would be DHCPv6 so they don't have a choice in what address they use.

Going further, NAT and hide all these devices behind a single external IP.

Going even further, NAT the whole network by default and only give global addresses to endpoints that need it (local servers and such)
Ask HN: RIP Mint. What's your go-to money management app and why?
With so many personal finance apps available, I'm curious to know which ones you are actually using and finding value in. What app do you rely on for managing your money and what features make it stand out from the rest?

Is it the user interface, budgeting tools, investment tracking, or something else entirely? Let's hear your recommendations and experiences!
> it doesn't use intrinsics because they aren't actually easier to work with; they are not faster, not more portable

Well golly, I'll just have to disagree based on >20 years of experience, including several in assembly. asm is only (maybe) faster for the code we manage to get written.

From where I sit, video codecs are a rare special case in that the format is standardized, changes only every few years, and has only a few but super-time-critical kernels.
For many many other use cases, the situation looks different and productivity matters more. Would you rather get a 10x speedup on 40% of the cycles, or 8x on 80%?

BTW the "not more portable" comment is a strawman because intrinsics themselves indeed aren't portable, but a wrapper library on top (such as our Highway) is.
I'm a bit late to commenting, but of all the ones on the list, this is the one the most for me. It opened the door to philosophy to me, I just never knew I wanted to know about it until this show. I love it now! Also it is one of the most incredibly funny shows I have ever seen.
How is this obviously made up and devoid of substance l'esprit d'escalier-type story getting upvotes?
No, they're saying that you will still see segfaults if you write it in Rust, because Rust's borrow checker is unusable in that environment.
> there are still people who produce and distribute unverified products

Sure, but that's more people getting into homebrew as a hobby, not people trying to undercut supermarkets. Unless you tax the bejeesus out of it, no-one's home-grown op is gonna be price-competitive with industrial scale production.

> Please don’t erase Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning out of Tesla’s history. They were the ones with that idea of making EVs sexy and then Elon came along and slowly ‘manoeuvred’ them out. He wanted to be known as the founder.

All the history is captured on Wikipedia including such bits as Musk funding $6.5m of Tesla’s initial $7.5m series A round.

Musk also oversaw Roadster product design.
Powering 80% of the mobile phone market, Amazon infrastructure, the IDEs everyone around here likes to rave about, is good enough success.

You can ranson the drugs. There are plenty of methadone programs around the world.

OpenAI isn’t really a competitor to Siri. It’s a competitor to Google Search. And Apple has never been in the search market.

OpenAI doesn’t work without internet. Siri does. OpenAI can’t do anything on your phone. Siri can. They’re fundamentally different services.

Yes, whatever Apple does with Siri next will be LLM based and will compete with other on-device LLM assistants. But I expect that to be a fairly different market from the cloud-based LLM assistants.

Hell, the next Siri might just forward questions to a third party cloud based LLM assistant for answers to complex questions. Like it does with google now and did with wolfram alpha at one point

Though I expect Apple is also waiting for the quality of LLMl AIs to be good enough. Even ChatGPT 4 isn’t really good enough to be trusted. They’re way too confident when they should be answering “I don’t know” or “I’m unsure but I’m guessing the answer is: …”

Like, what Microsoft is doing is absolutely reckless. It’s insane to integrate an AI assistant that constantly and confidently lies to you into the OS.

Go to Zurich, things are functional, fun, and it’s a great city. Culturally more German.

Don’t bother with Geneva, it’s super small, culturally French, things are generally less good, for the same eye watering swiss prices.
You may as well live in France for half the cost if that’s what you want.
Not the only. Mine assembler (and C compiler), written in TypeScript, does the same despite being painfully slow and useless.

They say the missionaries came to do good, and ended up doing very well indeed.
The irony is that alcohol prohibition did actually work. It increased health, reduced violence in the home and on the street, increase safety for women and girls, decreased deaths and increased economic wealth amongst other benefits. It also (needless but I have to say it) increased organised crime which in the end overwhelmed the positives.
Yeah it’s on… always been on. Thanks for the tip tho’.
Maybe an .edu account from a University or so? That’s my approach to the same issue.

And my email is on Fastmail under a custom domain. They have good support so far
I don't have a solution for you. But a question: what scale do you use with a 40" 4k monitor? 100%, 150%, 200%?

Also, I've been using an LG OLED C2 which has Chroma 444. Another issue with OLED is "pixel shift" to counter to burn in. I'm fairly sure I can tell when it happens, or something else is happening and I don't know what.
Here is a gist summarizing my findings based on analyzing hundreds of comments on HN and App/Play store reviews:

Orthostatic hypotension
Yes, much open-source software is free, enabling more people to use and contribute to it. Paid options might offer extra perks. Personally, I appreciate the accessibility and collaborative spirit of open-source software. It fosters innovation and community involvement, which I value. For example, if you check ArtStation's or Unreal Engine's Learning sections, you will see free tutorials from real experts. This exemplifies the power of the internet.
None of what i said is security by obscurity (which is also can be an effective tactic,but obviously not the only tactic).

There are only so many human hours and minds interested or allocated to exploitation and offensive security. If everyone used the same architecture for everything, the economies of scale on the offensive side (due to state funded actors) would blow everyone else out of the water.

From a software perspective, Windows has an incredible amount of skilled eyes on each patch release, but we still see new exploits. Same for Linux. Likely same for MacOS.

All i'm advocating for is that having separate hardware architectures is good because it raises the barrier to entry, even if it's only the next marginal step.
In the future you have people living in excile because the conputer says no. Nobody understands why. Nobody knows how to fix it. The computer says no. Nobody gives a damn.
You have no access to a bank account. No access to find a job. No access to get health care etc
Same here. It was something trivial with the form that I fussed around with until it worked, or maybe I didn't have iCloud enabled at all and the form didn't alert me about it.
One frustrating thing about Apple is that if you try to get help, there isn’t really any way to do it. There isn’t any way to open a real support ticket that will be seen by an engineering team there. The store staff can only do basic things. And if you go to their forums, you will get bot-like responses telling you to follow some useless generic steps that do nothing for your specific problem, or weird replies justifying some obviously incorrect thing with an Apple product like asking why you would even want to do whatever you’re trying to do. I am not even sure who those people are that troll those Apple forums and serve as Apple apologists - like if they are employees of Apple or random users - but they are completely useless and basically deter anyone from seeking help in the first place.

It is staggering that a company this big has nonexistent support and I think given the decline in their quality over the years, this will become a bigger and bigger problem. Unfortunately for most people the alternative is Windows, where Microsoft is abusing their monopolistic market power to shove ads and their services everyhwere.

We really need new antitrust laws to break up these companies and support fair competition, and we also need regulations to reign in the biggest technology companies.
making this a choice is very smart, thank you!
Drugs are criminalised here and it still happens. Safe injecting room actually means less of this stuff on the streets round my house.

Hydra: A game launcher with embedded BitTorrent client and self pack scraper
Rust is a language made and used by Dunning-Kruger people who violently react to having to learn the prior art.

Desperately needs some examples of what it created or even a demo (maybe show the resulting app, and one file, pay for full repo). Need some signal this is worth it.
How's that? All my contacts can be stored locally, photos backed up both on my computer and to a separate service plus iCloud, it's pretty easy to set up Dropbox or Box in-place of iCloud Files. Apple Wallet is handy but it really just stores digital copies (over-simplifying) of my physical cards, any of which I can request a replacement for outside Apple.

I don't use Safari but if I did any of its bookmarks/history are easy to import into other browsers.
I used to dislike OOP and favor functional programming languages, until I started working with Smalltalk. I guess the fact that blocks are closures and also first-class objects make up the difference somehow. I learned that programming paradigm is not the main factor I appreciate in a language, but also the elegant/coherent design, simplicity, liveness of the programming environment etc.

Also since most of the time developers spend debugging programmings, today I think languages should be designed with improved debugging features in mind. Statically programming languages are doing great progress here (always heard great things about error messages from Rust). Smalltalk and Common Lisp OTH, besides having nice error messages, also have exceptions with resumable semantics. The hability to always get a debugger during an exception without unwinding the stack is such a huge help (specially for dynamic languages), allowing one to fix a running program and continue working.

I maintain/develop a complex Smalltalk GUI desktop application and rarely restart it during development (which always take a while, since stuff like connecting and loading data from the database takes some time). Also I can always fire up the debugger to inspect objects I want to change (like dialogs etc), edit code and run it in any frame of the stack (like a REPL everywhere) etc. Maintaining this codebase in a dynamic programming language with exceptions that use the traditional termination model would be a nightmare, every crash would require a restart, and you don't have a compiler to help you. It's no surprise that people just turned to statically typing for this kind of system.
The average American in the 50s consumed 100g of sucrose per day. Where was the obesity then? Where was the diabetes? They consumed close to 4000 kcal daily, without going to the gym.

Most men had sedentary, office jobs. It is ridiculous to completely eliminate micro or macronutrients in your life. Your body would not have the ability to convert glucose into ATP if you weren’t supposed to consume sucrose.
I think they have the M and V but not quite the P. P is proposition. Just needs a bit more info as to what to expect, some examples and perhaps social proof.
