A lot of people who don't work on X say this. I suppose that might not cross the line of "serious" though.
If you claim to distribute application FooBar, you owe it to the authors of said application to actually distribute FooBar and not something else that was modified against their wishes. If you want to distribute a modified version, you should call it something other than FooBar.

You also owe it to your users to not mislead them by claiming that your modified version is actually the real FooBar.
If you 3D print your slide rule and write a blog post about it, it may be a good post for HN that can destroy the productivity of many people instead of just one :) .

It can be something simple like downloading the model and just printing it, or it can be your own design from scratch or something in between like a customization. Remember to take a few photos for the blog and write a short explanation, easy enough for people like me that don't use a 3D printer, and some technical details for people with their own 3D printer. Did I mention to include some photos?

debian has made much worse security mistakes than that; i personally danced tango at debconf with the debian maintainer who introduced the openssl bug, which is arguably the worst computer security hole in human history

basically the social practices of software development make computer security unattainable at any cost. we can try to improve that situation, but for the time being, debian is close to the best there is, even if it's not openbsd or sel4
If an ad says "shot on iPhone" I would expect to get the same results if I bought it.
It's like there's a massive army of developers solely focused on writing GET APIs even though we have the tools to completely automate this and more but they always find excuses to not use these tools - this thread is full of them. I don't get it, what they're really doing is just translating a to b over and over again. "Same but different". That's really the last thing I want to spend my time on.

This is called "gaslighting". It was only a few years ago I learned about the term, but it's very useful.

No, you're not going to gaslight me. This particular ad sets a new standard for tone-deaf.
There are several companies that do mass spec for the pharmaceutical industry, running large numbers of samples for drug discovery, clinical trials, etc. I'm not sure how much they cost but you might be able to work out a relatively cheap price per sample if you do all the sample prep yourself before sending it to them. Maybe they'd want the promotion.

What a strange comment. I was running applications over the network years ago using Wayland. Just because a new tool exists that you can do it with doesn't mean it doesn't work.

Running software locally has been a requirement for at least a few years by my calendar, yet I don't see you complaining about their network-first-patch-local-after approach.

They altered the config flags in a way that doesn't have the intent of the upstream project. And I would classify build config changes as a subset of "changing a package".
As someone that used to agree with you, I’ve come to admit there are benefits.

Information density and shortcut availability are two of the big ones.

Yes, it's unfortunate. I guess makers assume 'made for children' is the same as suitable for children. And so 'not made for' means unsuitable.

This just doesn't seem to be the case in my experience, at least not in most cases. Perhaps for internal services which are completely locked down and you can freely just expose the data via a REST API, but for public facing services I just haven't found this to be the case in practice, except in extremely limited circumstances.
If you read some criticisms of our economic system, they propose that growth will continue unabated without any limits, but after a couple hundred years, that exponential gets to the point that all the waste heat cannot be dissipated from the earth any longer and it all breaks down.

I think the two go hand in hand, i.e. what's actually been happening for the last 40 years is the context in which this ad was introduced, and the reason the ad feels so bad for many people.

There's a big difference between using product names that align with the analog versions of the tools and symbolically destroying a room full of tools that people often find give them purpose and meaning. It just feels gauche.

> Their ads showing the incredible non-retouched photos with iPhones seems like much more of an attack than this ad.

The difference to me is that one is saying: "look how good our cameras are now, and here's an example of what you can get out of them" and the other is saying "we can just crush this entire room full of tools now because look at this iPad".

I'm not bothered by the camera ads. As a person who carries a camera and loves cameras, the iPhone is a supplement to my kit and the better it gets, the more flexibility I have.

But crushing a shelf full of lenses just makes me cringe.
In this scenario the “trusted friend” is the hero of the story as he is the one who initiated a course of action that may have prevented a much more dire outcome in the future by insuring that the pilot in command will receive remedial training on proper cockpit management and the junior pilot will benefit by remedial training. Pilot error is a non starter and in many cases the ultimate game ender.
Yeah you're right, my dad has such a piano. It's still fun when someone who can play comes over. And my 5yr old daughter has taken a liking to it so maybe we'll enroll her in classes, maybe that will be the piano that made her discover her love of music. That probably would not have happened with an iPad pro.
Check out helix for a good example of this too. Not quite as visible, but entering certain modes gives you a list of available shortcuts you can use from there.

They have a huge incentive to not publish an open source backend that can run locally and isn't sqlite, to inhibit you from actually using Deno KV in production (past from the sqlite limits) outside of their cloud. Check out this quote from the OP:

> So, we set out to build two versions of the Deno KV system, with the same user-facing API. A version of Deno KV for local development and testing, built on SQLite, and a distributed systems version for use in production (especially on Deno Deploy). This post is about the implementation of the production, distributed systems version of Deno KV. If you’re interested in the SQLite implementation of Deno KV, you can read the source code yourself as it is open source.

Intentionally crippled open source software for the sake of selling a cloud subscription really isn't a great feature Deno should ship.

I think this situation is very different than Supabase. Supabase really publish the whole thing as Git repositories, and you can run it on your own servers if you wish.
The popular sentiment has changed from enthusiasm about "digital", to disillusionment about big tech inserting themselves into our lives to monetize everything.

In 2009, smartphones were a novelty, and the iPad has not been announced yet. People were wowed by the new capabilities that "multimedia" devices were enabling. They were getting rid of the old, outdated, less capable tools.

Nowadays "multimedia" is taken for granted. OTOH generative AI is turning creative arts into commoditized digital sludge. Apple acts like they own and have the right to control everything that is digital. In this world, the analog instruments are a symbol of the last remnants of true human skill, and the physical world that hasn't been taken over by the big tech yet. And Apple is forcefully and destructively smushing it all into AI-chip-powered you-owe-us-30%-for-existing disneyland distopia.

Why are Chinese electric cars seen as a threat to U.S. jobs and national security?
It is very low indeed, and a large percentage of the cases are involving strains from other countries, but hopefully the number is not real zero[1], even after discounting the strains from other countries.

Incumbent auto companies were only threatened by EVs, and USA drivers are sort of bimodal, some like EVs and lots want the big SUVs, so US automakers were not quick to get going. Investing in replacements for oil seems problematic in some very politically important areas. It would have been completely impossible for either of the last two presidential administrations to get any sort of national policy working to really accelerate EV adoption.

The author is pragmatic in saying that the Chinese govt may be favoring this industry to take over the world, and doing unfair this and that, but the results will be facts regardless of how they came to be. Chinese vehicles will still need to meet US safety standards, their brands will need acceptance by large enough numbers, and they will co-exist with gas in everyplace ill-served by electric infrastructure in this large country, but they are coming.

Sadly, the American auto companies will have densizitized everyone to all their data being collected and shared by unfriendly parties, so the Chinese won't be that different.

While the OP was wrong on that, the problem I found is that Postgrest threw only slightly helpful errors when someone would try to access a column that they didn't have permission to, rather than exclude that column from the result set and maybe throw a warning, which meant that you had to maintain multiple different versions of queries. This was a while ago, but coupled with my dislike of the query string syntax and some other stylistic choices I migrated to Hasura.

First, what you’re saying is not necessarily true. As you pointed out rice and meat are tough, but so are things like bread. If you spot mold you bet it’s everywhere even in the places you can’t see it. Anything spongy inside needs to be thrown if you spot mold.

But what about fresh fish and meat? What about salad drenched in vinaigrette? What about broth? What about sauces? What about pickles? I’ve had stuff for years in the fridge it still looks good.
I mean, good? Physical access to a device shouldn’t automatically mean all your data is with the wind.

This blog post on being an employee in the corporate world:

https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2009/10/07/the-gervais-principle-...

It introduced me to the idea that most employees are "economic losers" who are "people who have struck bad bargains economically – giving up capitalist striving for steady paychecks." (At least in the early - middle life cycle of a company).

It encapsulates this as "The Gervais Principle":

Sociopaths, in their own best interests, knowingly promote over-performing losers into middle-management, groom under-performing losers into sociopaths, and leave the average bare-minimum-effort losers to fend for themselves.

(The terminology is quite specific to the article - i.e. not sociopaths in the movie-cliche view).

I won't attempt to summarise the article here. Suffice to say it altered my thinking about future roles. Search HN for many prior discussions here of that post.

Chinese electric cars are viewed as a threat to U.S. jobs and national security primarily due to the risks associated with data security and the potential economic impact on the American auto industry. The fear of sensitive information being collected and transmitted back to China, coupled with the possibility of undercutting domestic manufacturers and causing job losses, underlies the concerns raised by the Biden administration and experts regarding the implications of Chinese electric vehicles on U.S. national interests.

Ok, well I was talking about a moral right then, and not a legal right.

I actually think the jerks are the ones who are over reacting and not engaging with the substance of the disagreement, and the moral position is from the ones who don't take their overreaction seriously.

If you want to say that everyone should just chill out, and not take any of this seriously , then that would be agreeing with me completely as that's my entire point and motivation.

> if someone says, "you're acting like a jerk"

No actually. That's not what they are doing.

Instead what they are doing is dismissing well reasoned criticism off hand without addressing the argument.

Instead of making a counter argument, where they try to defend the silly overreaction with arguments, instead they do the equivalent of saying "well that's just our/your opinion, man! You have no (moral?) right to tell people otherwise.".

They are the ones hitting the eject button from any sort of discourse.

And if you flee and retreat from actually engaging, no that should not be taken seriously.

> you're not going to be able to convince me these are equivalent positions.

Correct they aren't equivalent. The other person is worse. Way worse. Because they are the ones who fled to not addressing the substance of the matter.

Here, read the original comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40317635

It is quite reasonable. And the other person had the jerk reaction, by instead of addressing it, they instead say that it is just that person's opinion, and they have "no right".

That is not engagement. That is the poor behavior.

Many of the migration tools I've worked with include the concept of scripts that are run every time migrations are applied, in addition to your standard migration files. So things like views, functions, SPs can go in these "every time" files rather than being duplicated in migrations every time they change.

"In order to carry out their intrusion, today's colonial Big Tech companies have to convince us that the process is "inevitable" and even beneficial."

People working for so-called "tech" companies may believe that public is already convinced. But if that were true, then why is Apple apologising.
Smell them before you eat them. Floating only means the egg is old, which isn't causal for also being bad.
