For me it’s a very bad analogy avoiding to give an answer.

Doors and how they’re used is highly cultural and has evolved. There’s nothing “fundamental” you can derive from your mental model of today.

Same goes with bike locks and the like. I used to live in a student town where people simply never locked their bikes. It was a custom of that time and place.
China's Chang'e-6 probe successfully lands on far side of the moon
While it's a fun meme, if you actually look at the list, the inciting incidents are usually (accusations of) police violence/overreach, reforms to cut labor protections, welfare or public education, and Israeli military operations in Palestine.

In fact, most of the protests seem to neatly fall into the "police violence" (usually against minorities) and "austerity" buckets.
Yes the best solution to democratic process is to vote for famous populist alt right politician whose politics is build around saying whatever generates most clicks/hate at the time.
Best part is once in power these people are as corruptable if not more because they just dont care and will sell their votes to the highest bid. Snakeoil sellers.
Why the snark? Especially since you're beside the point, so let me rephrase with the help of my lawyer: the EU does not say anything about how much consumers should be charged for text messages by their operator (i.e. "cost"). This was clear from my previous comment...
I kinda chuckled that you left out most of Asia.

Most global companies (at least the US-based ones) have deployed in India, where I'm at right now. I suppose a billion people online is too big of a market to ignore (or not; I really don't know). Or there are services that I'm completely unaware of that's not in India.

Internet's pretty fast as well. Much faster than a certain conspicuous European country you'd expect to have fast internet ;)
My main problem with autotools has never been m4 but the fact that they don't provide a good experience on Windows. Cygwin is not something you want to depend on due to performance, and while MSYS has made great strides, as of 2024 it's not yet perfect. IMHO people invented CMake and other build systems after being tired of trying to get autotools to provide a nice experience on Windows.
When I went through PT a while ago for a shoulder injury, it became pretty clear that the sessions with the professional were only about 10% of the work. It's all on you to do the large majority of the work between sessions.
That the entire context you posted for the conclusion doesn't seem to be based on even an attempt to understand whether the market has truly changed.

For that matter, it's also not clear if his sofa is particularly well made (we never see the frame in the article) or just expensive enough that it's worth re-holstering for the price he was quoted...because the article in question is someone who's $1,200 sofa would distinctly not be worth paying $1,100 to re-upholster.
That text applies to basically every new technology. Point is that you can't predict it's usefulness in 20 years from that.

To me it still looks like a hammer made completely from rubber. You can practice to get some good hits, but it is pretty hard to get something reliable. And a beginner will basically just bounce it around. But it is sold as rescue for beginners.
I am amazed at whoever first thought of doing a reconstruction like that...what was the inspiration? what evidence and confidence did they have that it was going to work?
iPad was already a good SSH terminal with unmatched 4:3 vertical real estate. Orion made iPads into a fun travel monitor for Linux SBCs and embedded hacking. Next we need a serial console app that can work with the USB-C port.

> But we held ourselves to a short schedule, we could risk it. If it made a few bucks, great! If not, we could treat it as the quirky art project it was.

Good budget advice for all science/art projects!
This is ludicrous. Failure to distinguish the person (“I”) from their recorded voice does not make a philosophical problem. It's pure and unadulterated stupidity.
A trusted app running on arm execution level 3 could make use of the NPU to offload some of the work?
Are you sure you would've preferred the xz author to not have to jump through all the hoops they had to, and instead just press upload and boom everyone has it, like it has happened countless times in the node ecosystem?

Maintainers are a first line of defense. They are users of the software just like us, and share the same interests. This means that most obvious misbehavior (not necessarily malware but just anything anti-user or just general bugginess) is caught before it has broader impacts. The fact xz made it into the news is because it was an anomaly, and even then its impact was reduced to only the unstable versions of debian and such.

As for PPAs, you're right, adding a new repo means trusting a new set of maintainers. Thankfully only few software needs this so the amount you need to verify is relatively small.
Watching the reddit sub subscription count rise.
I’d like to add that it is not just about governments (democratic or otherwise). Large corporations wield disproportionate powers, in comparison with individuals, and may have a presence across countries and continents. Even if they don’t use the data directly, they may pass it to some other entity. I’m not comfortable with the idea that anything I read or write today may be made available one day to my current or future employer, customers, providers etc. ...
In a way I have already internalized this idea. These days every time I use an electronic device I behave as if an unintended recipient was peeking above my shoulder. So my behavior isn’t as free is it was, say, in the 90s, before networked communication was so ubiquitous.
The taxes are 'abusive' because they are sometimes very carefully "hidden". Ryan Air is wonderful compared to the nightmare called WizzAir.

The issues with WizzAir:

-Administrative fees of 9 Euro on each flight, for each passenger.

-Trolley bag (10 kg) an extra of around 60 Euros.

-Want have the same fare for 48 hours? Pay an extra 12 Euros.

-After that, checked in bag, is around 40 Euros per flight.

-Check in at the airport costs around 40 Euros.

-Online check in costs 5 Euros, and the say they mail you the tickets two days before.

-They don't mail you the tickets and they don't say anywhere you can only print the tickets on the same day of the flight (atrocious if the flight is at 6 am).

-You can get a refund for a cancelled flight, but the refund link cannot be found on their site. You have a post on Trip Advisor that points to that site.

-If you have paid for a small check in bag (10 kg) but bring that bag to the plane that's an extra 58 Euros (I can live with that).

-The boarding queue may stop for around 15 minutes, because a client needs to pay 58+58 Euros and the boarding attendant is unable to calculate such a complicated mathematical operation, needing the intervention of another boarding attendant (busy). That is a big no NO!

-Of course the web site has "bugs" and you may encounter "issues" that may force you to restart your session, specifically when asking for a refund...

-The "bugs" do not depend on the browser, or the OS (tested on Windows, OSX and Linux).
I understand this stance and it makes sense.

The OP, and that’s how it started, said he switched to signal due to “data harvesters” like Meta.

I feel like the conversation here diverged from that to something different.

PS: I absolutely follow the logic of restricting politicians. Unfortunately these people are versed with power and how to use it. Otherwise they would have not ended at the top…
It's not Obscured by Clouds either.
I've used pretty much every major LLM out there for a specific type of creative writing, and none of them are as good at it as GPT4 with the exception of maybe Claude (Opus is actually probably even better regarding the sterility). Llama 3, even 70b, is definitely not better by any measure of actual quality - it's more random, at best.
Once, many years ago, I dropped a knife and caught it, fortunately by the handle. I felt very stupid for the obvious reason, but my cat was by my feet at the time--so I'm not even sure it was the wrong thing to do. Well, crisis averted, one way or another...
Why has this not replaced readline in Python yet?

New simple, cost-effective desalination method
It’s just that single core performance sort of plateaued (as expected). We just can’t get it faster by 2x as we used to in a couple of years, and it is not really perceptible otherwise, especially that most software besides artificial benchmarks won’t max out the computing capacity of CPUs, it’s mostly waiting for memory and IO.

What we can increase is parallelism, but most problems simply can’t be parallelized for a good enough percentage of the workload, and Amdahl’s law can’t be circumvented.

Nonetheless, many other things can be scaled, like resolution (like, think how much bigger 4k@120fps vs hd@60fps is), file sizes, etc, so the workload does increase and not everything can cancel out, hence the perceived slow down in certain cases.
That’s a very narrow interpretation of work

What’s important is not how much one suffers but how much benefit one adds to the society
Which only goes to show that the bad habit of using imprecise terms is liable to produce total confusion.
do you have any breakdown on the trade-offs? Most HN commentary focuses on FUD around the signal founder rather than technical reasons why it shouldn’t be federated and would love to understand them better

I ported the famous Raytracing in a Weeked from C++ OOP into Rust OOP, without any issues, code available on my Github.

Likewise, Microsoft teams not only didn't had any major issues adding COM tooling support for Rust, it is much easier to deal with COM in Rust, than all the C++ frameworks Microsoft has created throughout the years.

Likewise, code available on the official Windows bindings for Rust.
The metallica-esque lightning logo is cool
My main gripe with CSS is that rules are selectors only. Classes can't compose or inherit (or, if they can, I don't know about it and would welcome a correction).

For example, let's say I use a third-party css library (materializecss, or similar) that provides a class `btn-warning` and `warning-text`, which sets say 10 fields (colors, elevation, etc) on the former and `text-transform` on the latter.

I just want to write one new class that inherits fields from both the existing classes.

I can't specify a new class `my-btn-warning` that inherits all the fields from `btn-warning` and `warning-text`.

I can't create a new class `my-btn-warning` that is composed of `btn-warning` and `warning-text`.

My only option (open to correction) is to copy-and-paste the existing `btn-warning` and `warning-text` fields into my new `my-btn-warning` class.

There's simply no reusability here.

If I want reusability, I need to go outside the spec i.e. have a build step. Not just any build step, but one that exactly matches the upstream library. Which is impossible if there are two upstream libraries, or if my existing build step is different.

This project looks nice but it combines all the disadvantages of writing CSS with all the disadvantages of a build step and adds the extra downside of not being compatible with anyone else's (including mine) build step.

To me, this is the worst of all worlds, with no redeeming advantage at all.

As a musician I can agree with this - I'm not playing an instrument right now as I type but I can fully 'feel' what it would be to be playing, that extension is such a tight connection. I feel the same way on a bicycle when I'm in a wide open area I can really zoom around on, it's like I have wings.
We did so since ancient times. The difference is, that with technology we constantly push the limits.

Having to find a spring vs. digging a well. But digging too many wells means the groundwater level drops. So a need for a new technology like desalination, etc.

Yes. The phone batteries across the EU are going to hate this.
"Install updates manually" isn't a very good description of your options here. You can take or leave the updates they choose for you. You have zero ability to inspect or audit said updates, or choose different updates yourself, or go back to previous updates. Rejecting updates may very well leave you exposed to security vulnerabilities and there's nothing you can do about it other than accept the updates or delete the app. And if you want the data stored in the app, you have no option to retrieve it other than what the app developer provides, because Apple prevents you from reading the data stored on "your" phone in any other way.
Frankly, GB was totally right in leaving, and if I had the ability to vote for stay/leave right now, I'd want to go. But this position is totally unwanted. You're being called Nazi or at least extreme-right the minute you utter it. This way of dealing with supposed democracy is what makes me want to leave even more. The EU has become a strange beast. The current election ads make that pretty clear. It basically reduces to "vote us, we're cool, we are deocracy" which is almost dystopianly void of real content.
The message object used to contain those contents, but then the message object was deleted, although the contents value was still available in a UI in temporary memory.
Tangentially related, I used to work at a company where the C level was demanding all of our help documents be videos. They couldn't understand that it made them unsearchable, took way more time, did not allow branching or decision making in the processes, if anything in the workflow or even UI changed the entire thing would need to be redone, takes up a ton of space, is not easily skimmable etc. "but it's easier than reading!" "are you telling me you've never learned how to do things on YouTube?" Etc. I refused and resigned not long after.
But then you go play a game on windows, and everything works instantly. When performance is critical to have a good experience, it can be done, and pretty well.

I have no idea who pioneered it - AFAIK this is what they normally do for my case (was ~10 years ago)

BTW most achilles breaks are dealt with my putting them in a boot to force the broken bits together and hope that they heal in place - in my case we knew it was damaged but it later broke and my GPs misdiagnosed it so it was broken for ~6 months before we realised
> no fields are private.

Who needs the private keyword when C has better encapsulation than Java?

-- foo.h
typedef struct Bleh Bleh_t;
Bleh_t *construct(int i);
int getFoo(Bleh_t *bleh);

-- main.c
#include "foo.h"
void main() {
Bleh_t *bleh = construct(3);
// int i = bleh->foo;
int i = getFoo(bleh);
}

The commented-out line above will not compile, because the internals of Bleh_t are not exposed.
"You don't exist. Go away!" said the server.
There's plenty of good furniture out there, made by plenty of good brands that haven't sold out. We seem to have forgotten that brands build cachet for a lot of reasons, quality being only one of them. The main issue today is that we've inadvertently traded off quality for variety - there's a huge variety of furniture being made, in every conceivable style, size, and texture. But if you want good stuff, you have to pay in time and money to get it, and you might not be able to get exactly what you want.

Which is why it's strange to see people surprised that their $3,800 CB2 sectional isn't built to the same standard of quality as a $13,000 Roche Bobois sectional. Especially when they could have easily gone to the showroom and lifted a section up by a corner to learn exactly what they were buying. Or gone online and searched for clones, or called up any interior decorator in the region and just asked "where do I get a good couch?"
> Amiga gave user-input interrupts the absolute highest priority

That’s a pretty bad idea in general. Handling priorities properly is absolutely essential for the stability of a system. I’m not familiar with Amiga, but systems weren’t known for their stability back then. Whole OS crashes were much much more common back then.
I had two encounters with Lua many years ago.

The first to write "stored procedures" in Redis (I forget the correct terminology). It allowed to improve the performance of Django endpoints by an order of magnitude.

In the second, I wrote a Wireshark plugin (also not sure of the proper term) to dissect a proprietary protocol.

I don't remember the details but this is not a programming experience I look forward to renew... (Same feeling about Perl btw)

Possibly indices starting at 1 were the most disturbing.
Yes, but also the (1) push of PNR to keep a complete record of your travel and movements within the EU. Dutch train operator NS is operating in spirit of the future “PNR” already and makes it harder and harder to buy “anonymous” train ticket (even for local 15min journeys). The so called anonymous card, is linked to your bank account used to top it up.
What if you prefer to use cash in your daily life (2), for envelope-style budgeting? Well, your bank will let inform the authorities of your anomaly. You will start receiving monthly questionnaires asking to backup your behavior and why you might want 2-3-4K eur in cash every month.

Yeah. If you ever thought it was annoying to have to spend two hours on the phone to get Comcast to cancel your internet, imagine how much it would suck to try to do that with a sign language interpreter sitting next to you, or with text-to-speech and speech-to-text systems in the loop.

The framing of 'government bureaucrat' vs. 'consumer choice' is at best misleading. As lordnacho pointed out, such a free market only works for consumers when the consumers have real agency. We exist in a state of immense information asymmetry, where vendors have immense advantages over the buyers. (Immense resources focused on highly misleading marketing vs. individual expertise, with attempts by consumers to organize frequently hijacked.) I shouldn't need to be a domain expert in order to make an informed choice. The level of acceptance of a "free market" overwhelmingly dominating by deceptive marketing is insane.
> The problem is that C doesn't offer any resistance to using globals rather than stack variables

Nor is there any resistance to writing 'public static' on a field anywhere in Java land. If that's a problem, you have to throw out most languages.
There's always someone who writes the rebuttal you're writing here. I used to do it all the time as well.

It's always the same rebuttal, "why don't you just check this then", along with "well all the information is out there".

In isolation, it is true. You could spend a day going out on the internet to try to learn what kinds of join your sofa might have. I suspect you would never even have considered the problem, and that is a rather major problem.

There are a LOT of products in the world. You will not know the unknown unknowns of every item. Even the known unknowns are often not worth your while to spend time on, because a scale manufacturer can provide an item at a price below which you will not bother to check.

The fact is we're all dependent on people making the honest choices when they're offering us stuff, you can't check it all.
I’m fairly sure you would be equally upset with your world document taking multiple seconds to load were it lower bandwidth. Or if you couldn’t have a 4k screen at 120Hz, which is severalfold more data than hd@60Hz
Ah, thanks. I was wondering why I couldn't access a game community, but didnt bother to check why.

I hope while the site is down, they do some kind of culling of all the spam BS that has been taking over more and more, especially the lame meme guides that are just AI trash or copypasta.

While they're at it, they can cull some of the lame copypasta spam reviews as well. It kind of frustrating to take a quick peek at reviews and see ascii upvote cats and other tired memes.

Well, at least I can hope that they take care of it. What's that phrase? Want in one hand, poop in the other, and see which one fills faster.

> they just can't provide an automated means to do that for you

What I'm wondering is whether two separate applications can be set up to communicate automatically, with one handling messaging and the other being responsible for encrypting and decrypting the data.

What would be against the law in that case? The messaging app? The encryption app? Or the interaction you are doing in that moment?
I feel like Tijme Gommers should be held accountable for this fiasco as well. He knew exactly what he was doing when he sold to this shady as fuck company and announced it as minimally as possible. For someone who works in an industry so reliant on ethnical standards, he has demonstrated that he has absolutely no ethics whatsoever.
Scan into pdf and organize them, keep as PDF.

You have to think about what your goal is. Handwritten notes can be perfectly digitized into handwritten notes. What do you need the ocr for? Publishing? … transcribe what you need, or better, rewrite.

Searching? As you scan, make a basic index so that you can refer to the notes. Organize the folders properly with your notes, use a useful naming scheme.
