If that turns out to be true, the question is where are the restored pictures and videos coming from?

If the device has been wiped, then it probably isn't coming from iCloud. This would still support people's claims that the files are returning to both the device and iCloud, because their device is probably just backing the files back up again when it resurfaces.

So the files are probably not actually being deleted from the device, despite the appearance that they are, and the process of wiping the device would have to leave that data behind, unencrypted, if it is going to resurface for the next user.

People with pre-17.5 iOS devices should inspect their phones storage as root before and after and try to find old deleted media, and verify the behavior. That would be the smoking gun here.

Or, for some reason, iCloud remains connected to the device post-wipe in a way that it shouldn't and somehow sends old deleted files back to the device (I find this unlikely).

Or, this singular claim of an iOS device resurfacing deleted images after a wipe is a work of clout-seeking fiction, and the problem is limited only to a failure to fully delete files.
The reason I think this has low changes of landing has little to do with the rust developers as the complexity of the feature and the invasiveness to the ecosystem.
As a devout Christian who enjoys games like Diablo and Doom, I wanted to offer a different perspective. All of my Christian developer friends (small pool but still large, at around 15 people), including myself, have no issues with tech terms like daemons, master/slave, or killing processes (esp. child processes). Many of us understand the context and humor in technical jargon. In my experience, it's often non-technical people rather than Christians who find these references odd. But then again, what non-technical people run nmap?

There are posts by real humans - but you are correct Facebook does their best to make them hard to find and rare. I aggressively block everything but real posts, and it is still hard to find real posts.

Stop with the intentionally obtuse “well akshually” stuff. You know what I meant: lawmakers should put Facebook under the same scrutiny and find a legal loophole that allows them to stop the harm Facebook is causing.

> TikTok is not actually getting banned

Semantic bullshit. Similarly strong logical footing as “we’re democratic we just don’t allow non-communist political parties.”
My main complaints with protests these days is that they seem to be astroturfed to keep the discontent people busy with protest that cannot bring about any meaningful local changes. Either they are about far away things happening in the world, or they are about vague ideas with no concrete steps to achieve any meaningful impact.
I tend to agree, but maybe I'm talking about something slightly different. I was meaning that when I watch a YouTube video, if the creator has monetised it then they get a tiny amount of money, which enables them to do more videos. The Web in general doesn't have anything like that.
I think it’s the same with all social media. I find X currently the worst; you cannot even go into post about react or whatever tech things and avoid maga, Trump, racism and anti woke shouting. It is depressing really. At least on Facebook there are my friends who got a new cat…

Show HN: Context Data – ETL Platform for Generative AI Applications
Hi HN, I started working on Context Data because I wanted to build a super simple infrastructure to build end-to-end data pipelines for my search and RAG projects especially ones that required vector databases.

Essentially, I set out to build the “FiveTran for Generative AI” where you can connect to multiple data sources, embed the data using all major embedding models and write the results to your vector database targets without having to write and rewrite tons of code.

You can also use SQL CTEs for transformations and aggregations as well as scheduling your end-to-end pipelines.
I actually think hiding behind “journalism” gives you more freedom to say what you want. In theory, you couldn’t blatantly make stuff up, because you risk getting sued. However, if the last decade has taught me anything, even then, the burden of proof is on the victim.

I think these high profile media folks volunteer that what they say is opinion, not out of freedom, but more so to frame their talking points in a more persuasive way. Humans will naturally put up their bullshit detectors if they think something is reported as fact, and expect to see evidence. Opinion on the other hand, means your guard is down and you will hear the same message, but consider it.
And even if it was, poking gentle fun at a Russian suffix would not be an endorsement of the invasion.

Why is it bad sign? It means the old versions are pretty good and people are still using them. It's very hard for me to imagine a library used at this absolutely massive, mind-boggling scale that doesn't have a long tail of legacy support.

On top of that people are very much still moving to v6. When I checked last August it was about 50-50 v6 vs the rest, now it's 60-40, and in absolute terms that delta is far more than the total number of Reach downloads.

> There's one novel thing in mutraction that's not in either though, which is the undo/redo log. It might not be very useful in practice.

On the contrary! That alone is cause for me to give it another look. Stuff like state history is sorely lacking in the industry in general, and can enable powerful things like time travel debugging. I’m super curious to look into how it works when I get a chance.

> Really, I think the main difference is that there's nothing in mutraction like a virtual DOM.

Clarification (as I presume you know this, but in case anyone else isn’t familiar): this is also how Solid works.

> I've seen the word "orchestration" used before with respect to UI framework architecture. I must confess, I don't understand what it means. By default, in mutraction, most mutations are immediately applied to the corresponding DOM elements.

That’s exactly what I meant in this context. Without something like reactive Proxy tracking and binding to the produced DOM nodes, you’ll have:

1. Some mutable state, like objects and arrays and reassignable variable bindings.

2. Some view DOM.

3. Some code that manually assigns 1 to 2.

4. Some code that manually handles events in 2 and applies mutations to 1.

5. Recurse.

This can be as “bare metal” as direct DOM interaction, but usually tends to look more like jQuery. As popular as that is in HN comments, it’s really hard to manage in applications beyond a certain level of complexity (interactivity, feature scope, etc).

> without any of the accountability that mainstream media has with regards journalistic integrity and veracity of content.

I wouldn't assume that mainstream media has any journalistic integrity or veracity of anything. Watch several mainstream news stations and listen to them use the exact same wording when making politically hot statements. It seems likely to me, that some centralized body is ensuring that.

I have never had a FB or any highly popular social media account. I have no reason to believe that they are any better than mainstream. At the moment, I am in a continuous state of disbelief to be honest. All facets of information-flow appear to be politically biased and saturated with half-truths, double-talk and straight-up lies.

In my personal opinion, I do not support censorship of social media as our constitutional right to freedom of speech is more important to me. I believe this right should be honored in 100% of cases else the constitutions has no value in this respect. i.e. if it does not apply in all cases, then it cannot be relied on to apply in any scenario, and its purpose is lost.

We live in a world now, where we are all going to have to make up our own minds on what the truth is. It was always that way, but society took it for granted that "the news" was the truth. This is why propaganda is so effective by the way. I would rather except this as the one and only truth, and proceed into the future with a healthy dose of skepticism applied to all facets of information-flow.

What Gödel was talking about is apparent when you look at the style of logical contradiction he is known for. The US Constitution and its Bill of Rights only define rights in terms of narrowly specific negative prohibitions on what the nominal government can do, rather than positive statements of what the People should be able to do. This leaves the door open for extraconstitutional de facto government to exist along side the nominal government - not explicitly authorized by the Constitution, but also not prohibited or constrained by it. We see the resulting shape basically everywhere today, whereby most of the rights laid out in the Bill of Rights have been effectively neutered whether by the government sidestepping the Constitution's specific proscriptions, corporations exercising coercive power based on market share, or the potent combination of both.

Linux has had the pieces around for a while. Usb-device-mide gadgets in Linux can be connected to a usb-ip virtual port, so you can share virtual peripherals. The rest is regular networking. Wild but USB gadget mode has been around here and there in laptops for a long long time now, but has rarely ever been used.

Does this article actually provide evidence for the headline claim?
I have had the same experience. As a tech lead these days I insist that nobody uses libraries that require a high level of domain knowledge. Basically code that is incomprehensible even for the person that wrote it should be avoided as hard as possible. D3 is a prime example of such a library.

When you buy bonds, the government guarantees it'll buy the bonds back. It's a loan with interest. When you buy a stock that doesn't have any inherent value, due to a lack of tangible benefits of ownership, then you're gambling that somebody in the future will buy it from you for no real reason other than a shared illusion that the piece of paper has a worth, and is somehow tied to comapny performance.

Again, it's the lack of dividends and the lack of any other tangible benefits of owning the stock like voting rights. I feel like you're so far down the "line goes up" rabbit hole of stock trading, that you can't even think clearly about what you're actually buying, and why would anybody buy it from you in the future.
> When I first started to learn how to program I was following along a basic tutorial by Jeffrey Way and his first sentence was "We're going to use vim." That tutorial, whose topic I can't even remember now, set me on a path for my professional career.

I like this origin story.

In my case, I was already a decent programmer and beginner UNIX admin when I got my first job, and one day I was using nano or some other "friendly" editor to edit some files on a server, when the literal grey-beard senior sysadmin that was looking over my shoulder pulled a face and said "OK, it's time you learn how to use vim", and spent some time teaching me the basics of it.

Now I have surpassed the Master and I use Emacs, though vim is still my second favorite editor.

(In reality the distinction between slave and employee is blurred over thousands of years and it's hard to use our words to talk about their setups. It's likely that both slave and non-slave labor (taking slave to be unpaid coerced labor) was used; just as our society uses both, either openly or discretely.)

I think some of the discussion in this book - written by a former planner - is pretty sensible around what we should be doing:

https://islandpress.org/books/arbitrary-lines#desc

By getting planners out of some of the unnecessary minutiae of their jobs, they can, well, actually plan for things. Ensure that we have good street grids, land set aside for parks and schools that are harder to retrofit into a pure 'anything goes' system, and also try to do some planning to keep genuinely noxious uses away from where people live, rather than "keeping apartments away from the 'nice' neighborhoods".
Founders are getting better terms in private markets instead of public markets. This is why you are seeing these massive series rounds.

Vercel was able to get $250M with much less overhead compared to creating an S-1 and publicly listing for a similar amount of money.

Most of these companies will remain private long term, get acquired by large players, and a couple will publicly list once expectations for public listing ease.

An IPO isn't an end goal - it's just one milestone of multiple that companies will need to hit.
