I love the rust-like syntax. I write a lot of Rust and there have been times where I wished for a language on top of Rust with a tiny bit of OO patterns and a GC, so the borrow checker doesn't get in my way.
I find it way too small on desktop, but it's not an issue because the browser remembers my zoom level.

But I also find it too small on my mobile, and increasing the font size doesn't improve things, just makes it necessary to scroll sideways to read the comments.

Overall the font size settings on HN are crap. I really wish @dang would listen to the frequent complaints and fix them.
Was there a higher rate of cladogenesis 2-3M years ago?

Higher levels of radiation do correlate to higher rates of genetic mutation; presumably because radiation so affects transcription.

Does the punctuated equilibrium theory model radiation level in estimating rate of evolution?

To add some anecdote, I remember doing a short animation with a Star Wars A-Wing Fighter (the model for which I downloaded, not made myself). I added light sources in the engines for that "glow" effect.

Unfortunately, I messed up some of the geometry in the animation, so while the A-Wing was rolling to one side, the two lights were rolling to the other side ;)

Which I of course only found out after a day or so, as renders were so slow (and this was something the size of a poststamp...)
Apple will be selling iPhone 15s for the next 3 months that won’t get the AI features they just announced. When you buy an iPhone, you generally get software updates giving you new features for a few years at least. What they did with AI is kind of shitty, given their track record.
Omnivore also has a native Obsidian sync, which works pretty well. Just add {{content}} to the default template to get the full page contents instead of just the summary.
We in the U.S. don’t quite appreciate how much larger the average vehicle is versus 30 years ago. Low riding sedans are outnumbered by crossovers and full sized SUVs these days.

In the 1990s, I had a sweet little Honda Civic hatchback that got great mileage and handled beautifully.

But towards the end of the decade, the roads in my area were filled with aggressive drivers in Ford and Jeep SUVs who just were obnoxious. I felt forced to switch to a larger car just to feel safe on the road.
But it is not safety if you forbid talking about sex, if you want to learn about certain things which could be missused. Same as banning murder in video games. Same as banning books that deal with these topics. It's definitely closer to censorship than safety.
Reasonsbly priced for professional use doesn't have to translate to a price a reasonable person would pay for home entertainment.
When using the terms “open” and “closed” with operating systems, one is traditionally talking open the source code.

As such both Windows and MacOS are closed source.

As for “opening up the OS” both are pretty gosh darned flexible and extensible wrt other features.

However being based upon a BSD core, MacOS has had access to the Unix command line natively since forever. For Windows one used to have to rely on CgyWin before the virtualized WSL platform came to be.

Whilst MacOS has the somewhat opaque ~/Library for storing user settings and data, it pales into comparison to the massively Opaque Windows Registry.

I’ve had had very few issues fixing app install issues with my Mac - with Windows I’ve had more than one occasion where I’ve had to do a complete reinstall of the OS due to the Registry being totally hosed to the point I couldn’t reinstall apps again.

In general DuckDB is great but I had similar out-of-memory issues specifically when using "distinct on" and "unnest". In such cases I usually delegate some queries to chdb / clickhouse-local instead.

DuckDB has been evolving nicely, I especially like their SQL dialect (things like list(column1 order by column2), columns regex / replace / etc) and trust they'll eventually resolve the memory issues (hopefully).
The article says that the feature is turned on by default which means they can impose passkeys without the user's permission.

Cash money, probably. Apple has a lot of it.
The Mina Protocol incorporates innovative features such as non-transferable soulbound tokens, zero-knowledge proofs, zkOracles, VRFs, and off-chain data handling to address key challenges in Web3, enhance scalability, bolster identity systems, and enable more powerful and private zkApps.
The first example provided explains the situation exactly - a link that google shows as going to gimp.org in fact takes the user to scam.com (or whatever). Is the "manipulative rhetoric" you're referring to an expectation that a reader actually read the article?
Good point, but we still use privacy.com for random stuff online. The majority of our online purchases happen at a handful of stores, and we use our credit card there. But especially for sketchy sites, we use privacy. For example I bought a keyboard from a small company in Russia (right before they invaded) and they’re probably completely legit but I’d rather lose the 1% on that purchase than be concerned they have my real card
Like sibling says, it depends on your definition of 'strength'. For your application I'd probably recommend PETG or Polycarbonate.

It's also reasonably likely that your resin printers are solid resin, while the PLA likely wasn't solid PLA... but that depends on slicer settings, so I wouldn't know.

FDM printers are mostly used for prototyping. If you're doing that in a commercial context then the design time vastly outweighs the material and hardware costs, so.. polycarbonate would be a good default. It's hellishly strong, even when 3d-printed.
To many people it's virtually the same thing, TBH...
The larger context is that Apple gets most of its revenue from iPhone sales and use which have seen tepid growth. This strongly indicates reductions in valuation.
Would you really go back to the internet as it was in the 90s? The current one may have problems (to say the least) but it also has miracles.

I’d go back for nostalgia, but not for practical purposes. Even in the 2000s it was much harder to find information. Wikipedia didn’t launch until 2001, and wasn’t useful till long after.
On the number of devices they sell, an extra $64 of cost per device (taking your higher figure and assuming an extra 8GB), across Mac, iPad and iPhone, they'd be looking at a cost of ~$12.8bn a year. If they just did it for Mac, it's still in the region of $2bn/year.

Sure they could pass that onto a mostly price-insensitive audience, but they like round numbers, and it's not the size of decision you take without making sure its necessary: that your customers are going to go elsewhere in either scenario of doing it or not doing it.
Sure, HN is not instagram, but user content is user content. And user content is subjected to copyright laws.

The mere fact the API exist doesn't necessarily mean it's legal or that it respect copyright laws. It just means nobody legally tested it yet.

My suspicion is that a licence granted to entity only extends to that entity, even if that entity provides content via html or json.

You're not seeing the fundamental trade-off that BEAM is taking.

They're not focusing on maximizing througput (number crunching) but on minimizing latency for the 99th percentile (keeping the server highly responsive even under heavy load).

You really need to understand the pros- and cons of each tool. Dismissing the BEAM family because of a single attribute strikes me as a bit ignorant.

Only one is playing today and I’ve favorited the baseball team and you always ask me this and I always answer baseball I can’t play that audio anyway

My wife and I listened to a podcast on this subject a few months ago. My son got into a fairly high achieving magnet school (for DISD anyway), Townview SEM in Dallas, so we were interested. It really boils down to home life and how hard you push and what values you instill in a child. Attending a high achieving high school isn’t the real problem, it’s how you setup a child’s perspective of their own self worth.
It's very hard to strike a balance. On one hand you want your kids to be successful, which on it's own has many nuances, and on the other, don't let them waste their potential. Make sure that you provided them the opportunities to achieve their potential. And be happy in life. But also be able to sustain themselves without worrying about tomorrow. And so on.

There is also the fact that if we all live and no one wants to be a high achiever, we'll still be in the dark ages.

No, they're doing it because their career is tied to it. No published papers, reviews, editorships, means you're not going to land that academic job, you're not going to move up the ladder to full professor and you're not going to have grants (which some places tie salary to!).

Elsevier exists because of inertia. There's so much inertia left over from when paper journals kind of mattered that it's hard to change at an individual level.

Publishing with Elsevier doesn't avoid LaTeX either. Some journals mandate you use their template and you still have to proof after acceptance and correct all the mistakes the typesetting staff makes.
> The Secure Enclave randomizes the data volume’s encryption keys on every reboot and does not persist these random keys, ensuring that data written to the data volume cannot be retained across reboot. In other words, there is an enforceable guarantee that the data volume is cryptographically erased every time the PCC node’s Secure Enclave Processor reboots.

I wonder if there is anything that enforces an upper limit on the time between reboots?

Since they are building their own chips it would be interesting to include a watchdog timer that runs off an internal oscillator, cannot be disabled by software, and forces a reboot when it expires.
I second this, ultimately a large part of who we all are is who we are surrounded by(you run with the wolves, you get fleas). Sure 40 hours a week is spent on school grounds with various teachers and students but the other 60+ plus waking hours is often with family.
The supply of money is one of the main means a government has to conduct economic policy. Consider what would have happened during the financial crash if governments hadnt been able to inject massive amounts of it into the economy.

Libertarians assume that if there's no democratic control over the currency, somehow, Reality, will make everything turn out ok. Well we tried that for a very long time, and it was a disaster. Every crisis is much worse if you cannot control the money supply.

In any case, no modern state would ever give this up. Its vital for their being able to deliver policies that people want, and to managing times of crisis.

I am using open core on several Apple devices from 2008-2010. A Metal capable GPU makes a huge difference in performance. After upgrading my 2010 iMac to a Firepro M4000, it runs the current version of macOS Sonoma better than the 2018-2019 MacBook airs do.
It’s not about technology. It’s about their business.

Apple generally engineers their business so that there isn’t an incentive to violate those access controls or principles. Thats not where the money is for them.

Behavior is always shaped by rewards and punishments. Positive reinforcement is always stronger.
>This approach mitigates the risk of creating ghettos or economically segregated areas, which can be more detrimental to societal cohesion.

it's not working that well, there are plenty of "hotspots". Districts usually have specific demographies. there are wealthy districts and then there are districts that mostly have people from other countries (turkey, serbia etc)

This would make it much slower and reduce the amount of libraries it can use by a factor of 10, maybe more, without improving its concurrency capabilities, possibly degrading them (because .NET threadpool and task system are robust and low overhead).

But I guess that could make HN like it instead?
>People don't want everything tied to one identity, one service, one login.

You'd be surprised. People want a neat solution so they don't have to deal with multiple nuissances.

They worry less about vendor lock-in (if they even understand the issue unless it's bitten them, and then they can consider the costs of switching as totally normal and expected, similar to how they just go find app replacements for platform-exclusive software).
In the conclusion, this article somewhat just drops in 'Common Core' as a cause, while not having discussed it in any of the earlier points.

My understanding is that Common Core is a name for baseline common material.

This is leaping from a series of arguments around High Performing schools, then at end brings in Common Core which is a lowest common denominator of material.

It seems a leap, there should have been some more reasoning to lead to that conclusion. What is the option? That some kids should be allowed to progress without learning material? Because it is stressful to learn the basic math in Common Core?
It looks like Gleam doesn't allow for multiple function heads. That is one of my favorite features of Elixir as it reduces complexity.
We don't know what was said between the author and the police. As stated in the article, it's a cold case where the search had been going on for years and they had several witnesses claiming to have seen the car in a different location.

Finding a car isn't that uncommon. I know one youtuber doing these kind of things found three cars at the same location when searching for a missing person. In Sweden we have one talked about waterfilled hole with at least 17 cars but no one wants to deal with it due to the costs and environmental issues if you start pulling them.
Normally you are not arrested, but a cps visit when you are reported is annoying. There are a lot of mandatory reporters who will be in trouble if they don' report so you will be. It wasts cps's time from real cases of neglict in most cases, but those exceptions get a kid help sooner.

I've explored Gleam on a side project and I like it. The only real issue I had at the time was that it was a bit too niche to use for anything "serious", but that seems to be changing - which is cool.

I really want to see a demonstration that it can work with Phoenix LiveView though, or a Gleam equivalent with good IDE and tooling support. The productivity of the Phoenix LivewView + Elixir stack, and the ability to build async message-driven systems in concert with the UI remains a killer feature for me.
Was too stunning and interesting not to be a post in its own right:

Very nice! Thanks a lot for the discovery.
Quick example:

```
COPY
(
SELECT
DISTINCT ON (b, c)
*
FROM
READ_PARQUET('input.parquet')
ORDER BY
a DESC
)
TO
'output.parquet'
(
FORMAT PARQUET,
COMPRESSION 'ZSTD'
)
;
```

Where the input file has 25M rows (500Mb in Parquet format) containing 4 columns, a and b are BIGINTs and c and d are VARCHARs.

On a Mac Book Pro M1 with 8GB of RAM (16x the original file size), the query will not finish.

This is a query that could very easily be optimised to take little amounts of space (hash the DISTINCT ON key, and replace in-place the already seen values if the value of "a" is larger than the one that already exists.)
Completely concur. Setting high standards and then providing a supportive environment to get these sets kids for success rather than failure.

I would have been more charitable to the author if I read this a few years ago but of late, there's been so much negativity against any kind of pressure and a "glorification" of mediocrity and doing nothing done, it's almost like being an achiever is something to be ashamed of. Of course it has costs, of course there are risks. The point is to tackle and overcome all that and achieve something great. Not to sit idly being "safe" all the time.
Good point, bad tone :)

Because these days a lot of the money a developer makes isn’t made up-front, it’s made through interactions in the app. Siri isn’t going to read you the ads in the apps it’s using behind the scenes.

Maybe this will cause a shift back towards up-front pricing, which personally I would welcome.
The teachers of such a school aren't there because they want to change the system either. And the administration wants the school to stay a "HAS". So no incentive for anybody involved.

It's actually in the article multiple times. The physical design of communities (i.e. - designed around the automobile, not around a person on foot/bicycle) is what the previous post is referring to, not specifically cars themselves.

Car dependent design is the problem that prevents children from being able to play with friends, because they are dependent on an adult to bring them somewhere.

Car dependent design also has negative feedback loops for community in other ways. Local shops can't compete with big box chains in the suburbs due to economies of scale and are forced to close, further increasing the need to drive further for basic necessities. Cars are dangerous, further decreasing our base level of trust for interaction with our local community.

These are just the surface of the iceberg though - take an open minded approach to reading up on the second and third order effects of car dependent community development before being so quick to dismiss the topic.

But they don't bullshit about it as much and their offerings are much cheaper and it's easier to not have to pay as much (either with data or money).

There is just a general hypocrisy about Apple that is hilarious.

It's a questionable lawsuit.

The problem here is that Google claims immunity on being a platform. "It's not use doing the trademark infringement, it's General-ScamCo"

And as it stands right now, US law is quite favourable to that defense. Even when in reality, it's obvious that advertising platforms are Publishers. That they not only make editorial decisions, but that making those decisions is the entire fucking point of them.

This is exactly why i now agree with homeschooling or unschooling.

I do think - with my experience as a counselor who taught science and did experiments with children of all age and background - that unschooling is overall worse than homeschooling (which relies less on the parents to be great), and homeschooling was overall worse than a public, normal school with a normal number of children per class (no more than 28, so that half classes are 12 to 14 max).

However, the number of "normal" schools is lower than ever, and diminishing, and i now think if you average everything, homeschooling seems better, at least since Covid in my country, probably earlier in other.

BTW, circa 2010-2013, I've met a homeschooling community that basically reinvented school (and who were pretty close to unschooling as they re-did the curriculum to shove kids from different age together) and called external volunteers from education NGOs (i was one) on some subjects. I think they regularly invited a microrocket guy, my NGO, and local guys (a farmer and a warden/ranger/gamekeeper, whatever the english translation is). I do think this is a great alternative model, but i understand that this can only happen in small villages (i think they did this because the school was closed and the bus took too long), and not in suburbia.
The "recall" feature is not something new, rewind.ai has been offering this for years.
