So your "solution" is to break the law and suffer the consequences?

I think you misunderstand law. It's not about making things impossible, it's about making possible things unappealing so you won't do them.

Starlark is not Python. It feels like Python when you write it, but it's very different in a lot of ways that really matter.

A lot of people don't realize that the issues that python haters (myself included) have aren't generally about the look and feel of the language, but about how many sharp edges the language has for maintenance and scaling. Python 4 could fix all of these things if they ever did it.

> I take the strong position that code is data, so an if statement in code is equivalent to an if-then rule stored in a database

One difference is that in a pure ES, the specific rules (if-then statement) to fire are selected at run time by the rule engine based on whether a rule's preconditions are triggered by items in the current 'blackboard'. This differs from a conventional imperative language where the possible sequence of if-then 'firings' is fixed and determined by their sequential position in the source code, even if the subset of actual firings depends on the program's state. In rule-based systems, it doesn't always follow that the sequence of rule firings relates in any way to their position in the source. Forcing rules to fire in a specific order sometimes involved painful shenanigans, rule prioritisation, etc.
It's a picture of a crashed car.

Unless you're claiming the system doesn't crash now, a picture from 2018 is just as good as a picture from last week.

It's not a main piece of evidence, it's an example. The evidence is in the text of the article where it talks about hundreds of crashes.

As to your questions, as long as the issue in the article applies to the model in the picture, all of those are fine. I'd want a newer picture for phones because they cycle so fast but it wouldn't be a big deal. A crashed 4 year old 2014 model and a crashed 10 year old 2014 model look the same.

the liberals have so badly damaged their brand they can't damage it more. This way they get to have a weapon to use against people they disagree with before the next election.

What matter is an already poor brand vs a weapon that allows you to put your enemies through the criminal justice system and cost them tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees even if they're found innocent? The process is the punishment as much as anything else.
You just didn’t wait long enough.
`Protectionism hurts the ultimate consumer of the product.`

So do lots of other things, and you need to balance competing sources of harm against each other. Allowing foreign companies benefitting from protectionist policies drive domestic industries out of business leaves consumers vulnerable to several other harms. You can't just do everything in a vacuum without considering the context because it's the "right thing to do" and expect the best outcomes.

To me, it's his position that makes those words seem more credible. Once you hit the peak and have everything one could dream of you lose your illusions and realize that the craving still goes on and it's much more wise to just count your blessings. If you would hear those words coming from some poor pleb you would doubt that "They just don't know what they're talking about, how could they know? They're poor and don't have anything. Of course money and status and power is the answer?"

So obviously truncated your quote, but this seems like exactly the types of training that would make this person a credible source to make such observations?

I’d agree if we were talking about prosecutorial evidence. Citizens rights need to be respected by the state and police do have to do the hard work of real police work correctly. But for exculpatory evidence I’d really rather we just focus hard on not sending innocent people to prison or worse.
oh yeah, it's amazing! The speed is great but just the DX is so much nicer than npm, yarn, or node itself. It took us a few tries to getting it working for our prod environments, but nothing we couldn't figure out within the same day.

I thought having a binary for a lock file was weird (don't know the technical reasons behind it besides maybe speed) but after using it for months now, it never has caused an issue for us.
Voice-Activated Assistant App

Hi everyone,
I am considering developing an app, which the adult can activate using voice, it will take a picture of his screen and know the details of the device, and help him in context using voice.

For example, if he can't find something in the settings, he can say "Hi Pal", and the application will appear, "I want to increase the brightness of my screen" and then step by step it will lead him on the specific device to finish the task. It may be complex to develop, but it seems to me that there is a lot of need for it.

There seems to be a lot of relevant people here.
Do you think this app would be helpful?
Do you have any suggestions or feedback on the concept?
Thank you for your time and insights!
I’m not saying I agree with the premise, but the general idea is that if a certain business can’t be built using ethical practices, that business shouldn’t exist.
I heard that bhyve has GPU passthru support now. would be fun to have a rock solid freebsd base system and still be able to use my alpine linux environment within a VM (with X) if needed.
The second paragraph of my post is completely beside the point, I just wanted to point out that it's a bit silly making the "downloading under duress" point when people _do_ do that in a lot of ways.

The law is not about whether or not it's healthy for people. It's about whether or not it is an uncontrolled tool that an adversarial foreign government can use to sway public opinion in the US. No government with any urgent sense of self-preservation would let that fly.
Um, yes?

Is there anyone here (on HN) who believed that they were actually going to build that SciFi gigacity? Vs. it being a brilliant bit of hype - which scored them a boatload of favorable attention from gullible reporters and utopian dreamers?
I would say it's moving more towards a hybrid of SPA and non-SPA. The new features reduce the difference between front-end and back-end code and make it very simple to move some handling from the front-end to the back-end or vice versa if you choose.

> The problem you're having is only a problem because you haven't tried hard enough.

You just need to read another 50,000 word fasterthanlime essay. Then you'll not have problems any more.

> That being said, there is an overwhelming force in the Rust community that when anyone mentions they're having problems with Rust the language on a fundamental level, the answer is "you just don't get it yet, I promise once you get good enough things will make sense".

Not only this, but they openly mock other language communities for not drinking the koolaid.

I like Rust, and the Rust community, and fasterthanlime, for what it's worth. But I think these points raised in the article are very much valid.

A couple days ago an HN commenter suggested that use of Alpine is by definition a supply-chain security problem:

> "Alpine is not full-source-bootstrapped, often imports and trusts external binaries blindly, has no signed commits, no signed reviews, no signed packages, and is not reproducible. It is one phished git account away from a major supply chain attack any day now.

Alpine chooses low security for low contribution friction. It is the Wikipedia of Linux distros, which granted it a huge package repository fantastic for experimental use and reference, but it is not something sane to blindly trust the latest packages of in production."

I'd be grateful to hear other expert opinions.
I did admit to blatantly commit the No true Scotsman fallacy. Deciding who does and doesn’t belong in you political faction is ultimately going to result in arbitrary distinction and characterization.

Me as a leftist does not want to be politically aligned with anti-LGBTQ+, anti-feminists, and racists. These aren’t a moderate versions of my and my comrade political beliefs (except the 6th one), they are counter to them. So, as a radical leftist, I do disavow these claims, and don’t want them anywhere near me on the political spectrum.

What format was used by Word 95? RTF?
Both iOS and Android sync to other devices in the same ecosystem, so there is at least a limited form of device portability.

If you have both, register two passkeys with each account and that's even better, since they back up each other if the vendor somehow deletes your account.
Seat belts may seem useless too if you've never been in an accident.
I get what you're saying about them already being Google employees, but this feels like a loophole and not a material difference. I could see this being exploited if there ever were offshoring rules. Just hire your offshores a month or two ahead of time.

That said, I find that most sensitive managerial decisions aren't fully explained right away, if ever. I don't expect someone in this position, especially upset by the change, to know the full story. There's possible extenuating circumstances, such as team performance (even the manager was RIF'd).
Another limitation is that GraphQL always starts traversal from the same starting objects, one for "queries" and the other for "mutations."

Show HN: I made a site for practicing front end debugging with real-world bugs
I am excited to introduce my solo project, a platform built with the frontend development community in mind. It's an interactive environment aimed at refining debugging skills through exposure to real-world bugs. This project stems from the need for a hands-on, practical method of learning to debug. The site features a variety of intentional bugs for users to solve, mirroring the types of challenges faced in professional settings.

Over the coming weeks, I will be adding many more exercises and new features to enhance your learning experience further.

It was my first linux, but I haven't used it in ages. I never found installing from source tgz to be that bad, but dep trees have gotten much deeper over time. I don't think windowmaker had clipboard support when I left it. There is something nice about knowing what every file in your system is for, and being able to read most of them with ed. Alpine scratches that itch for me. I try to sub in anything with a rust equivalent I can. Building rust may have deep trees, but with musl the only runtime dep is usually the kernel itself.
An elitist attitude and inability to consider others' perspectives renders the whole conversation moot from the start. Sorry, but I won't entertain the debate when the premise is established in blind negativity.
Call me a curmudgeon, but I am still not a fan of Tailwind.

I know a lot of newer engineers that believe it’s a perfectly acceptable alternative to learning CSS, to which I always respond: using Tailwind does not absolve you from having to learn CSS.

There are also a lot of comments in this thread claiming that the “right” way to use Tailwind is to create composite classes using its utility classes, but I have rarely seen anyone do this in practice.

Instead, the inline classes pollute the markup to the point of becoming extraordinarily difficult to read, and unless you make a concerted effort to e.g. bury as much of that garbage markup in reusable components as possible, it remains a persistent eyesore.

The US is the largest weapons manufacturer already with the largest military-industrial complex. How many more drones and bombs do we need?

You act like we do.

Doesn't the US already spend more on military than all our rivals and allies combined?
Conversely, PMOS logic has the exact opposite problem - NAND gates are parallel, while NOR gate are series.

Meanwhile, CMOS logic inherits both of these problems (in return for better performance in general), but due to semiconductor chemistry, PMOS transistors are weaker than NMOS ones (which was why NMOS was more widely used than PMOS in the first place), so NAND gates have two strong transistors in series and two weak transistors in parallel, which gives a better worst-case switching speed than a NOR gate (where the weak transistors are in series, and so switch noticably slower). This is where "NANDs are used for everything" comes from.
Yes, which is why I specified "or at least used to work until very recently". We're slowly moving in the right direction.

2FA is available with some credit cards for some transactions, but until it's mandatory for 100% of transactions the problem still remains.

He says something like: if you believe, what are the upsides, what are the downsides? You might not be able to prove it scientifically, but is that necessary?

What'll really bake your noodle is what happens when a thing only comes into existence if you believe in it? I think that is a super interesting question, and not one that seems to have been addressed much in the context of religion. The closest idea I've come across is hyperstition, from the CCRU group.

I'm not quite sure if even the corporate case works properly with iOS & Android devices as the article states, otherwise you could become a 'corporation of one' and side step all of this stuff.

The thing that the Rust community thinks sets them apart (their community), is really the thing holding them back.
Prior to 2016, I wouldn't have blamed you for having this sentiment, as its an indicator that a country has done exceptionally well in developing its defensive/deterrent capability since you grew up without knowing what strife actually looks like.

But now, given that US got massively weaker with Trump being in power for 4 years, and a mentaly ill madman with access to nukes straight up murdering civilians in Ukraine in the name of nationalism, you have to be living under a rock if you don't realize how important defense spending is. If not for US, then for countries that don't have the talent/funding to develop it themselves.
Has there been any progress towards shipping Rust on consoles? I know the specifics are all under NDA, but to my knowledge nobody has even hinted that they've done it yet, even among the studios which are openly using Rust for backend or tooling stuff (e.g. Embark and Treyarch).

OP only appears to release their games on PC so it's not a concern for them, but for the majority of developers not being able to fit into console toolchains would be an immediate dealbreaker. I have no first hand information but what I've heard from hanging around people who would know is that Sony insists that developers only use their official LLVM/Clang fork which is customised for their weird ABI.
> In 59 crashes examined by NHTSA, the agency found that Tesla drivers had enough time, “five or more seconds,” prior to crashing into another object in which to react. In 19 of those crashes, the hazard was visible for 10 or more seconds before the collision. Reviewing crash logs and data provided by Tesla, NHTSA found that drivers failed to brake or steer to avoid the hazard in a majority of the crashes analyzed.

This tells you everything about autonomous driving. It is either working 100% all the time, or it does not work at all. Problem here is that if human brain is not in the driving loop, it will just disconnect. You can have open eyes and watching road, but you will just stop processing what is going on around you.

Just open a YouTube video of some boring long dashcam drive on highway and see how long you will manage to keep alerted and able to intervene by just watching. 5 minutes? 10 minutes?
You didn't answer my question, you just made predictions of the future without any rationale or evidence behind them.
Reflections on Qualitative Research
> Making a fun & interesting games is about rapid prototyping and iteration, Rust's values are everything but that

I feel like this is the core of the author's frustration.

Rust is a systems language. It's for writing tight fast C-like code but safely and with a much more powerful type system.

The facilities you need to do this are somewhat at odds with what you want for rapid iteration.

Seems like Rust was the wrong tool for the job.
DJI does own the consumer segment, but they're also still usually the go-to brand for US commercial purposes as well. Their software and hardware reliability is leaps and bounds better than anything else on the market until you start getting into defense contractor territory.
I never understood it either. The 3D printed houses look like unfinished throwaway housing. The type you would build as a homeless shelter or refugee camp. When it is time to tear it down, you somehow reuse the concrete in the next house. That is the kind of impression or "vibe" these houses give me.
Just wanting to get rid of "passwords" means getting rid of "something i know" as an authentication factor. That should not be the goal. The issue is that the other authentication factors have real drawbacks. It's tradeoffs all around.

'something i have' means carrying something around and also the possibility of it being forgotten/stolen/broken/taken by authorities (legally even!) and the repercussions of that. i'm fine with this, only if i am allowed to access/export/copy/store the keys myself. I can do that with totp auth and i do. people say this "breaks" security. but the point is: i control what i own; i control me (not you).

'something i am' has the worst drawback. you can't change it! the other issue is you are not the unique snowflake you think you are. Also, side note of a personal experience: India has mass fingerprinted everyone, yet in trying to do some bank transactions in India the fingerprint read/auth kept failing for an acquaintance.
The difference between DJI and Bambu is that Bambu products aren't being used in contexts that convey potentially sensitive information about infrastructure, heavy industry, agriculture, or land development. Bambu has a place in the low end of the market, but anybody doing serious prototyping work in spaces that cross into 'national security' territory is relying on far more specialized and US/Euro-centric vendor ecosystems for additive manufacturing.
