Moving to rural Utah is hardly an effective way to escape politics. If you're looking to escape political discourse and different opinions then this makes sense but you'd be joining a community with a very narrow set of political ideas and social opinions.

Also worth pointing out that deseret.com is the news arm of the Mormon Church. Anything published on that site is going to be highly biased.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply. If a product is already priced optimally, lowering the price to capture price-sensitive users would reduce overall revenue, right? Profitable developers set prices based on what the market will bear, not the cost structure. Also, I'm not sure all developers would reinvest additional earnings into their products rather than just increase profit margins or divert funds elsewhere. I agree on the economic redistribution point though.

Another one of their games, Shenzhen I/O, is one I think HN would enjoy: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shenzhen_I/O

The player is tasked with creating products for clients, which involves constructing circuits and then writing code to run them.[4][5] The programming language used in the game is similar to assembly language and the circuit elements resemble simplified versions of real-world electronics.[1]

I tried rsync for Windows from its "cosmos" pile of binaries (https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/releases/download/3.3.1...), and it was too slow to be usable compared to WSL rsync.

For many other utilities I use Busybox for Windows (https://github.com/rmyorston/busybox-w32) which is well maintained, fast, and its maintainer is also very responsive to bug reports.

One of the propaganda strategies Russia uses is to disengage the population from politics. It might a be protection mechanism but you will see many of them say that they are not political. It is interesting to see that this strategy is being used in Western politics too.

>Which is a right that Apple was willing to concede

Begrudgly and in a way that is very much viewed as malicious compliance, hence them now being investigated for it.

>but people flipped out when they announced you'd still have to pay the fee

I agree with them

When I buy an App from the app store, Apple should take a cut for providing the infrastructure, payment system etc, thats fair.

If I am buying something from a company directly from their website or marketplace, for a service they provide in that app, why should I pay Apple a fee?
Lua is too bare bones. It's a carefully considered tradeoff for the project goals of being a very small & easily embeddable language for C projects, but it means you need to implement too much load-bearing functionality yourself. Each lua project ends up being an ad hoc framework composed of C bindings and standard lib extensions, but it doesn't have an ecosystem that makes this straightforward or consistent.

A lot of people like lua from using it on very small projects, or like, spiritual reasons related to its implementation simplicity. But having used it quite a lot professionally, in practice it ends up being a slog to work with.

All that said, lua is closely tied to C, and embedded in a C project is both its intended use and the place where it fits best. So while I don't really like lua and would almost never choose it myself, this is one of the rare exceptions where I think it's a good choice.

A lot of people want redbean to use TS or python instead, and imo either would make it much bigger, more complex, for relatively little benefit. It would definitely benefit from a more full-featured language, but I think a weirder one that is still intended for embedding in C would be best. Something out there like janet or fuck it, tcl. But lua has a lot of allure for a lot of programmers and I think gives the project a feeling of "old school cool" while still being pretty accessible. So is probably the best choice in the end.

I have an iPhone X. When the battery degraded, I sent it in, the battery and the speaker is replaced, the latter free of charge. I even didn't know that my speaker was damaged to begin with.

Some would say, if you already have a legal, paid-for license to run Windows on a given PC, and you merely want a slightly different version which is older and doesn't add any extra features, that's a lesser form of piracy.

Again, I see where you are coming from, and I do agree that a lot of discussion about Git (and it’s workflow) is really about GitHub (and it’s workflow).

But even when using GitHub as the hosting service, every time you work on a local branch (this includes main/master) you are working on something purely local that will not conflict with what anyone else is doing.
It’s only by pushing/pulling that tracking branches are automatically updated, which seems to correspond to the operation that you would refer to as updating tip.

As the rest of the discussion is this topic seems to indication, people do work on these “private” branches a lot, and do rebase/modify them freely to create a history as they like before publishing that history (at which point, you would require coordination with everyone who saw that to change it again).

As far as I can tell, what the Meta tooling seems to offer is that you can see the “kinda private” commits of other people, if I understand correctly.
That does sound indeed useful, but also out of scope for Git – rather part of some further UI that displays such information conveniently.

Time to move on to what? Time to move back to everything being a chaotic jungle of different designs & experiences? I think not. Even if sites themselves don't support rss, there's many tools out there to help res-ify various sources. If there was a way to move on maybe we might eventually drop rss/atom, but it seems highly highly unlikely we'll move back from rss.

I love the web & it's great solid platform. But rss holds a special place in my heart too. Calling rss "not the reality of the modern web", saying that we should just except captive experiences by the valent forces doesn't seem very web-like to me, doesn't bespeaks the user-agency that so critically distinguishes the web from everything else. The internet is for end users, rfc8890, and rss is a strong manifestation of that value.

If we do want to move on we have to make that new place.

Pretty much the only reason a user would hit "no" is that they aren't trying to log in, and because the prompt is only sent after the correct password has been provided, if there are more than a couple in a row the account should be disabled entirely or at least set to demand a password change after the next successful login.

Look at the variety of English used in India. This continues to evolve independently of, say, British English and US English.

Makes sense and thank you for the confirmation.

The way I was thinking about it is that how meat tastes depends very much on the excretion system of the animal removing waste products from the tissues. And those functions (the lymphatic system, the circulation, the kidneys, the bowels, the lungs) are not present in the lab grown meat tissue. We are obviously providing those functions artificially but I wouldn't be surprised if these artificial attempts are "worse" than the real deal at their job. After all the real chickens spent millions of years co-evolving these support functions with their tissues.

Plus what the tissue is fed! Some say they can taste if the cow was fed corn vs grass. Whatever the lab grown meat is fed must be even bigger difference from the original.

> There are several additional steps needed in order to make it palatable.

Makes sense. I wasn't even thinking about those, just the growing conditions. But of corse! And I bet while these were developed there was a ton of "prepare, taste, spit it out in disgust, adjust" cycles. With extant animals in theory at least you can do it scientifically by having blind taste tests comparing the real meat with the lab grown one. With mammoth, or anything else extinct, we would be guessing and making things up even more.

It's fairly standard corporate behaviour, and ultimately it pays off handsomely for Apple. They slow walked implementing a solution to prior censure, and then provided a solution that is laughable, but it starts the whole process again. Now Apple has a year to get some sort of real solution in. During the intervening periods they will have made billions they wouldn't have if they actually implemented a good faith, good intentions response the first time around.
You would anticipate a lot of confidential supervisory information: the Federal Reserve (and other Federal regulators) inspect banks regularly, and are allowed to ask for basically anything at all from them. You would expect there to be a significant volume of highly confidential stuff in the working papers. You'd also expect to see potentially embarrassing material for banks like negative supervisory findings, where banks are being asked to deal with things that potentially affect their safety and soundness. This stuff is all highly confidential, for obvious reasons.
Unfair in ways including those which result in the death of thousands of women and children and displacement of hundreds of thousands of people.

Gaza becoming a humanitarian tragedy on the scale it has is largely enabled by Israel being largely above criticism.

I don’t know what the best solution is to the Israel/Palestine conflict, but I doubt it includes dropping 2000 lb bombs on civilian infrastructure. I support the eradication of HAMAS because I believe they are not only inimical to Isreal but also to the Palestinian people they claim to “protect “.

It’s perfectly clear by now that Hamas is more than willing to sacrifice every Palestinian life to meet their political goals, which are not well aligned with the Palestinian people. However, Indiscriminate measures do nothing to abate the conflict, only to fuel it. Bombing civilians is the best recruiting tool that Hamas has. To bereaved Palestinian families, the war sells itself.

I shudder to think that indeed, the Israeli government knows this. It follows then that this recruitment effect is probably not an undesirable side effect, but rather an intentional goal.

I think this shares some commonality with the trickle-treatment of Ukrainian military support from the USA. We are best served by a slow, agonizing, expensive if not catastrophic defeat of Russian military capability. A quick win would not be a win for America, or for NATO. Unfortunately, this means that Ukrainian soil will be fortified with blood for decades.

I think for Isreal, the situation may be similar. Under the current playbook, “Winning” in Gaza means killing every person that can be induced to fight. This is distinct from breaking public support for HAMAS. It is a genocidal extermination of every person with a will to fight, through what amounts to a systematic process of provocation.

That said, while I don’t agree with the methodology, I do understand the reasoning and agree that the goals can be seen as worthwhile if not necessarily worth the cost of achievement.
The current optimal price is set with the extra cost of Apple rentiering included on the production side. Minus that cost, the developer might find another optimum.
WHOA! This is shocking ignorance for an HN user. RSS still exists for most of the web if you can be bothered to use it. It just isn't in your face anymore. I consume a lot of content through RSS to this day. You also don't need to look at those email adverts if you can be bothered to use real email apps. It's your choice to soak yourself in the dumbed down garbage interfaces.

I always come back to this review of Paul Fussell's "Class: A Guide Through The American Status System" when I'm trying to make sense of wealth. I don't know how well it really holds up, but it did get me thinking about the difference between wealth and class. Birkin bags sound like an upper-middle-class phenomenon. The effort involved in trying to obtain a Birkin would go against the spirit of the upper class.

> Shareholders need to stop rewarding such activity.

And how, exactly, do you expect that to work? Shareholders are going to pay attention to what's profitable, and basically nothing else.

No; the government needs to stop turning a blind eye to such activity. We need the relevant enforcement departments to be better funded, the policies to be in favor of cracking down on violations of all types, and a mandate from the highest levels not to be shy about seeking the heaviest penalties even from the biggest, most lobbyist-endowed offenders.

Netboot.xyz can itself boot from USB, but it does not then boot arbitrary isos off the USB like Ventoy. That's what I meant by it's slightly different, it chain loads netboot images.

You can add arbitrary netboot images, but I'm not actually sure how much it can do with no network at all.

Windows productivity software? Office? Obviously, it is a paid software suite. Always has been. No surprise they're not giving it away. It is not like this is some new thing behind a paywall suddenly. Sure, back in the day it was pretty common for an average home PC to come with at least some version of Microsoft Works, but technically that was an OEM-licensed basic productivity software suite, not actually free. In the end it was just that Dell, HP, Compaq, or whoever was paying for it to put it on the list of out of the box features.

More Copilot features for $20 a month? It is essentially a custom flavor of OpenAI with some more hooks and context. It is no surprise a hosted AI service that normally costs $20/mo continues to cost $20/mo.

You don't need Xbox Game Pass to play games in Windows. Steam, GOG, etc. all still work perfectly fine without it. Game Pass is all about subscribing to a lot of games, including many AAA $60+ games. Let me know when Apple Music and Apple TV+ goes completely free.
