> much more important topic than EU focusing on Apple

The EU is not a single threaded application. They can, and should, be focusing on multiple areas where there is wrongdoing. Both are being egregious and abusive, and need attention. And the EU has shown that it can!

> (which is monopoly inside their ecosystem, but not a provider of "default" software used in offices etc.)

A good phrase to use here would be 'platform abuse'. Focusing on the 'default' is an attempt to justify what they are doing, and I notice it gets used to defend Apple rather than call them out. In the sense that "Oh well, it's their platform, they can do what they want"

Totally agree. If Firefox Translations can be an extension, so can this.
Contextual logging makes structured logging even more powerful. For example, you can attach an ID to the contex of an http request when you receive it, which then gets logged in every operation that is performed for serving that request. If you are investigating what happened for a specific request, then you can just search for its ID.

This works with any repeatable task and identifier, like runs of a cron job, and user ids.

+1 to recently making the switch and to PopOS. There are still small experience pains coming from 2 decades of almost exclusively using Windows, but gaming has been pretty smooth, especially for recent titles. Valve has done an exceptional job with the SteamDeck. I hate monopoly like companies as much as the next person, but honestly it is hard to fault their platform. I still get games on GoG and Itch.io occasionally, but man is Steam miles ahead of the rest of the options, especially for Linux gaming.
How GCC and Clang handle statically known undefined behaviour
I’m glad at least in my neck of the woods NY supports vocational tech BOCES CTE (https://www.boces.org/advocacy-efforts/cte-provides-opportun...).

We have a few technical centers up here that high school students can elect to take courses with and get their hands on, including a short ‘internship’ during the senior year. Our Building Trades classes work on building houses that get sold off to the community to put on their own lots, even.

I took the Electronics class for my two years, grabbing the basics of digital and analog electronics. My internship slightly twisted into working more IT-related work, but hey — it was a good time and I learned some actually useful skills I still use today when I need to cable and wire stuff up, or build battery powered shenanigans. I’d say it was a lot more useful than the alternative of taking high-level Spanish classes and filler classes like Public Speaking.

It’s a nice refreshing pace to see investment and interest in CTE rising and I’m here for it.

Bonus - students also get to be introduced to trade labor as well. I recall being brought in with the Building Trades folks to meet the IBEW Local and learn about becoming a journeyman electrician as well as the various benefits of collective bargaining.
No wonder Sony goes after Windows people. Half of them soon need a new device.

The actual offensive says he knew the documents had been and “would be” obtained illegally. The key phrase is “would be”. Once he knew documents would in the future be taken illegally and agreed to receive them and publish them it entered the realm of an illegal conspiracy to obtain classified material.

Easy, as long as you are not forced to use this spyware on the job. Or some specific proprietary file format or specific things that alternative tools do not yet have.

Easy, as long as you are a technical user, who is willing to invest time in learning alternative tools and also willing to sometimes sacrifice some time to get appropriate results using alternative software than the mainstream Windows tools.

A lot is possible using other OS and alternative tooling, but it takes commitment and possibly time to learn. Many people are not willing to relearn tools of their professions or even for their hobbies. It really takes an open minded and willing person to listen to their engineering friend and give other tools chances and time and potentially even make a jump to a command line mindset.

Most people, compared to software developers and engineers, are almost computer illiterates. They are happy, when the thing turns on and looks as it always looks and they see some familiar icon for a web browser. Probably never before has the need for educating people about computers and what they can do with them been so huge. The resulting incentives from not educating people about such have terrible results for our whole industry/profession.
Show HN: Lambda – An Open-Source Privacy-Focused Social Media App
Hi HN community!

I’m excited to introduce Lambda, a project I've been working on. Lambda is the world's first open-source social media app designed to prioritize your privacy and well-being. It's still in its early stages, but I'm eager to share it with you and get your feedback.

What is Lambda?

Lambda is an open-source social media app that addresses privacy concerns and reduces social media addiction. Here's what makes Lambda unique:

- Privacy First: Lambda does not collect personal information beyond your email address for account creation. Your data is yours alone.
- Organic Feed: No AI-generated feeds or targeted advertisements. You only see posts from users you follow.
- Open Source: Built-in public, with community feedback and contributions highly encouraged.

Tech Stack

Frontend: Next.js with React
Backend: Supabase (BaaS)
Hosting: Vercel
Language: TypeScript

What's Next?

Currently, Lambda is a basic version with text-only posts. Here are some things I’m working on:

Adding support for images and videos
Reducing latency
Enhancing the overall user experience
Try it out!

You can check out Lambda and create an account here. Feel free to explore, and I’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions.

GitHub Repository

If you're interested in contributing or just curious about the code, you can find the repository here. A star on GitHub would be greatly appreciated!

Feedback

I’m around to discuss and answer any questions you might have. Your feedback is invaluable, and I'm looking forward to improving Lambda with the help of the HN community.

Thanks for taking the time to check out Lambda!

Best regards,

Maybe a contrary opinion, but who cares if they use AI? We shouldn't expect juniors to use a different / artificially handicapped workflow than the rest of us.

Test them on the actual work, whatever it is. Make multiple example questions or one big take home project that's similar to the real work they'd be doing, and allow them to solve it organically, as they would on the job. If they pass it with AI, cool, they managed to use it effectively. If they fail it with AI, that's on them. You don't need to go out of your way to purposely try to confuse AI OR the human. Working together is going to be the new norm and the AI is just another assistant or teammate.

IMO you're not testing "is this person super smart and able to recite leet code from memory without any internet access or reference materials". You're testing "is this person going to work well in our team and contribute meaningfully". You wouldn't disrespect your current coworkers by asking "how much AI did you use in this PR" if it otherwise works and passes tests and seems readable and maintainable, etc. (and if it doesn't, that's a code quality concern, not a question of human vs AI provenance).

The juniors should have the same ability to use the tooling available to the rest of us. If they choose to never understand AI output more deeply, well, the same could be said of any third party lib or Stack post. It's usually not a deal breaker in run of the mill business apps anyway. In fact there's an argument to be made for adopting good enough popular solutions vs reinventing the wheel and adding more tech debt for minimal gains.
Unironically saying that you have no interest in status symbols and then going on to talk about a purchase of a $5,000 electric unicycle is really something.

That $5,000 electric unicycle is a status symbol. You’re welcome to believe that I’m a fool and don’t know what I’m talking about.

I've applied it system wide by setting `MANGOHUD=1` inside `/etc/environment`, which might be a little bit excessive but it works for me. You can also set hotkeys to toggle the Hud and the frame rate limits within ~/.config/MangoHud/MangoHud.conf, but I think there is a GUI tool that does it for you.

As for the frame pacing, try with the beta NVidia drivers (v555) and Wayland, though I don't use Sunshine so I'm not sure if it'll help.
>You can still do that now, but it's not as important until it goes down.

Yes. It's very easy to get into the mode of "I can always download it"--until you can't. Or at least it's very hard to find. I've been pretty good over time. I probably have copies of 75%+ (probably more for stuff I actually care about). But I've definitely written for sites that don't exist any longer, at least a couple of which were behind paywalls.

Steering the blood flow has more usages. E.g. if you eat, the blood flow in the (peripheral) muscles is attenuated and in the stomac intensified.
And it is possible to restrict the blood flow to wounded areas, which is beneficial in a fight. But I was not able to do this every time I got a wound. Maybe too few practice.
This is part of the reason I actually like the free slack tier. People know that shit is going away.

If slack wants to integrate AI, it should focus on auto-updating other services that people actually want to use to store information like google drive, notion, git, etc based on chats. That would be useful. Trying to lock people into slack harder is not.
I really dislike this. Sure...it's fun, but where did I "sign up" to allow others to see where my mouse pointer is? How do I disable it? What else, from my machine, is being captured and broadcast?

In 2022 the average was 30 years https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-eurostat-news/w/d...

A significant factor in that, beyond cultural ones, is the fact that it's quite expensive to buy/rent, especially given the high youth unemployment

Before switching to Linux for gaming, I recommend checking compatibility of your favorite games using https://www.protondb.com/, an unofficial site for Proton compatibility.
Yeah it’s so good isn’t it. Just painless and seamless. Some people seem to use the limiter in NVCP as an alternative, but that option isn’t exposed in the Pop Nvidia control panel, which is pretty basic.

I’ve had a really mixed experience with GoG on Lutris and Heroic - both on Pop and the Steam Deck. I often struggle to get things running. It requires just that little bit more knowledge of what’s happening under the hood than Steam/Proton does, and I often just give up. My library is mostly in Steam anyway. Honestly, EmuDeck has been easier for me to get uo and running than either Heroic or Lutris.
Along similar lines of "just use your preferred cloud-based file-syncing solution", see: https://github.com/filipesilva/fdb - the author spoke about it recently [0]. The neat thing about this general approach is that is pushes all multi-user permissions problems to the file-syncing service, using the regular directory-level ACLs and UX.

Some of Reddit's early users were sock puppet accounts run by the founders, which are different than bots. The sock puppet accounts were, in fact, interesting to engage with since they were run by interesting & literate people. Since presumably a conversation is what you came for, you got what you wanted. Quite different from talking to a bot on a dating site where you came to initiate an IRL interaction which could never happen.

>> doesn't usually authenticate its traffic

> Yes it does. ntp uses TLS to communicate with it's well known locations.

My knee-jerk reaction is that TLS is not authentication. After skimming through the relevant spec [0], it is interesting how NTP uses TLS.

[NTS-KE] uses TLS to establish keys, to provide the client with an initial supply of cookies, and to negotiate some additional protocol options. After this, the TLS channel is closed with no per-client state remaining on the server side. [0]

The interesting part of Ashley Madison was that it was 100% a scam, and that scam was perpetuated by software and that it really wasn't anything special in its industry. Five years prior the time I owned a digital advertising agency and had a client company that owned a couple of dating sites. They both had identical business models - and it was really kind of preying on a weakness we all have: a desire for companionship and intimacy. They companies would milk people for a shocking amount of money to reply to their bots, and the bots even had product managers.
Interesting, seems a modern book for kids. If we're at it, we can probably include Harry Potter and such?

I would include then books such as the "Dunno" series (Neznayka in Russian) from Nikolai Nosov: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunno

I read those books several times as a kid. In a pre-overly- technological society, those books are a sort of SciFi for kids, I was utterly fascinated by the contraptions and machinery employed by the little people. Particularly the car that ran on soda water and used syrup for lubricating, with a useful tap where you could get a glass of mixture to drink.

By contrast, I visited the bookstore kids section a few times but seems inundated with dull, modern stories. Worse yet, I find such books on the obligatory reading list in school, there were such lists when I was a kid too but almost never read those because they suck. School is the worst selector of good literature.
