Continous Glucose Monitors (CGM). That used to be a diabetic-only problem until Abbott, Dexcom,and other vendors expanded their markets beyond diagnosed diabetics into pre-diabetes markets and exercise, health, and well-being applications like:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10635370/

and:

https://www.levelshealth.com/

This has exploded beyond the hundred years of ketogenic research and as research on glycemic variability in mental health has grown.

My current kit includes an Apple Watch series 9 and an iPhone SE. Prior to that it was Google Pixel and a Fitbit Sense, though direct BTLE->Watch was not an option in that generation.

I have two complications: Abbott Freestyle Libre 3 and Dexcom G7. Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM). The Dexcom is entirely proprietary. The Abbott is accomplished via a series of 3rd party hacks:

I'd say open source, but I'm not certain that every link in the chain is open source. I've run many generations of various open source tools on Android and iPhone since no vendor ships a complete end-to-end solution that is perfect.

Nightscout and watchdrip are two open source examples:

https://nightscout.github.io/

https://watchdrip.org/

When G7 originally shipped last year, sensor data left the sensor and used the iPhone as a proxy-to-cloud storage, as has become the default mode across many IoT devices because it was easy, obvious, despite the unintended consequences of the design choices here.

At that point, because the data has already taken a long and perilous journey into cloud when BTLE->Watch was dramatically shorter, cheaper (in terms of hops and requirement for service), and arguably better. Hence, any data request pays that full routing price into and out of cloud, even the most trivial display, such as watch.

After a latent Dexcom BTLE->Apple Watch update a year later, I don't even need to carry my iPhone anymore, despite the fact that I don't have service beyond WiFi on my Apple Watch, since the data exchange is entirely BTLE.

The sad fact is that straightforward questions around a person's glycemia were not answerable directly without an entire belt-worn cloud ecosystem being paid for and fully functional 24x7x365.

BTLE->Apple Watch is by no means perfect, but it's dramatically better than my previous 5 years of 24x7x365 routing through cloud.

HTH!
> … or was there a quantum computer somewhere and it was just kept hush hush, hence the push for PQ?

If there were a quantum computer somewhere, or close to one, it would be reasonably likely for it to be secret.

I look at the history of crypto in the mid to late 20th century for example. Small groups in the Allies and the NSA and etc. had certainly more knowledge than was public by a wide margin, years to decades.
T&C being enforceable and acknowledged by court systems is a true failure of modern society. There should be a hard character limit on any enforceable T&C agreed to by individuals.
Maybe a better approach would be to try to elevate everyone above the level of "peasant" instead.

> Orlando to Miami 236 miles. Time listed on Wikipedia 210min or 3.5hrs. 236/3.5=67mph.

As an average speed, that is of course correct. But that includes 6 stops along the way, as well as the time needed to enter and exit the stations before being back on high-speed tracks, and the time needed to decelerate/accelerate.

So that doesn't preclude a top speed of 125 mph on some portions of the track.

Ideally you would want a high-speed train on dedicated track, with dedicated stations, and few stops, as done in France, for example. You can choose to have train connections from stations inside city centers, as done in Germany, but than you will loose a lot of time actually getting to these stations, and consequently have a substantial lower average traveling speed.

> Could Obama be prosecuted for ordering drone strikes that unintentionally killed two Americans?

How about the one which intentionally killed an American child (16)?

Part of me wouldn't mind seeing that, but, I would have to agree that was an official act, regardless of how despicable it was.

> IMO just copy AE’s UX affordances first if your goal is to make something you want other people to use.

@clementpiki I second this advice and strongly suggest to document it as a guideline for your project as soon as possible. Surf on the shoulders of AE's UI giants!

Otherwise a small but vocal number of devs users who implicitly love FOSS software will end up rationalizing all the little UI quirks as features. Worse, their lack of expertise in UI design will be proportional to their level of energy and post length on all your communication channels. It's the epitome of bike-shedding. But if you just standardize on "whatever AE does" nobody will spend a moment advocating for putting quirks into the UI. (Plus they'll be very forgiving about quirks since it's obvious that getting the UI to work exactly like a proprietary piece of software is a very difficult problem.)
We were doomed when Republicans decided that impeachment was a partisan tool and could not be used against Trump. They broke the system by abandoning their constitutional duties so we are now looking into the abyss.

> When given a choice between expanding fossil fuel production or expanding renewable power, Republicans under the age of 30 favored renewables by a 2-to-1 margin. Republicans over 30, in contrast, favored fossil fuels by margins that increased with age

I don't know any Republicans that think solar panels are a bad thing. But when they hear how we've sacrificed our oil independence on the altar of climate change, they aren't going to be happy about it. Why does it have to be either or? Adoption was happening at a fairly rapid pace while we were still oil independent. I get that Democrats want it to happen faster, but I think this approach will just cause a lot of Republicans to dig their heels in, even though they have no problems with solar. Wind turbines are a bit more controversial, simply because they tend be quite ugly.
Yes, I agree - the President is immune for the official act they undertake, the existence of which allows for a the charge of bribery.

They are not immune for the non-official act of soliciting or accepting bribes in exchange for an official act, which is the charge of bribery.

So if the President took a bribe in order to make someone ambassador to Sweden, they could not be prosecuted for making that person the ambassador, but they could be prosecuted for taking the bribe.

Can't help but wondering if Joe is contemplating Seal Team Six's summer plans right about now.
couldn't be it reasonably construed as an official act if the president believed that person was a member of a terrorist group? the post 9/11 Authorization of Use for Military Force grants the president the use of all "necessary and appropriate force" in prosecuting terrorists.

this act is still in effect.
What's not the same as what? Based on your examples it looks like you're saying that unification is not the same as pattern matching. But nobody said it was.
This was downvoted at the time of this comment. Shame on the Republicans in this thread that I have my fellow programmers to blame for the fall of american democracy
They give no explanation of the estimates.. Is there a qualitative theory on why the UK would lose something like 4 times the average it lost in every other post brexit year or is that a sign of some projection artifacts from a quantitative analysis projecting from the first weeks of 2024 or something?
I have a pegboard wall next to my desk, which has a bunch of cables tied with fabric cable ties. I also mounted a USB powerbank next to it, and I've mounted my tablet, laptop, phone backup battery, etc. on it. I've also got some misc tools mounted on it, and a few little bins mounted - containing pens, batteries, and odds and ends. Its quite surprising how much it can hold, and its quite convenient.

Cables I don't need immediate access to sit in drawers, not very well organized I'm afraid. Its rare I need to go beyond my cache to slow access though. :)
Rather, the prosecution asked it as a hypothetical and the defense refused to rule out that it might be an official act.
It's been speculated on for ages. Humans tend to deal with things as they come up. The entire system is built that way. We don't write legislation that deals with every single possibility, we deal with it in the courts as it happens. It seems to basically work.
That's right!

Greetings! I'm free/open source software aficionado, technical lead, and veteran of the DevOps wars looking for new opportunities in the distributed computing space. My background is primarily in supporting large-scale scientific computing in terms of job scheduling, storage, cloud services for over a decade and I would be most interested in an academic or research setting. Interesting work that doesn't involve crashing the economy or figuring out how to put more ads in front of children is far more appealing to me than a large salary.
The pdf crashes my Android 12, but good to hear that gcc-graphite is still doing good, and there exist exciting new projects for the new LLVM MLIR target.
It has been 3 years and 6 months since Trumps election interference with essentially no progress being made in the courts.

If and when Trump gets elected how long do you think it will take the Supreme Court to differentiate between an 'official' act and a 'non-official' act when Trump acts illegally in 2025?

Throw in the recent ruling increasing the difficulty of proving bribery and things are looking grim ( IMHO ).
I'll never apply to a non-remote software engineering job again, and I'm willing to retire or switch careers before I compromise on that. There is absolutely no reason for the majority of software jobs to not be fully remote in 2024, and the quality of life allowed by the switch was transformative for me.

As someone who spent most of the early 1990's writing Win32 apps, it doesn't seem like much has changed! MFC has always been a pain to use, especially coming from X and Motif.. even Athena widgets were better than MFC.

I've used QT in the past decade for MWL (Mac/Win/Lin) and it is a bit clunky compared to the graphical fluidity of Electron. We just need a solid effort to make Electron smaller. Granted, one can build smaller variants, but even 100 MB is far too large.
Really neat work. I have a friend who designs green spaces in urban environments and it makes me wonder what he could do with these kinds of tools/approaches.

> Infinite loops are not that harmful by themselves if they only spin the CPU

Categorically that's the exception, not the norm.

For always-on systems, "by themselves" is pretty critical, as they can result in DOS style bugs/attacks as illustrated in the parent article. The infinite loop is most useful e.g. for the scheduler or other event loop code, which by definition this style of code does a lot more than "only" spin the CPU.

For systems capable of long-term power saving operation - the system can go dormant (either no power draw or very little). An infinite loop can be the difference between weeks of power off a battery, or days/hours.
But assasinating private citizens a ok? So Biden can order the assassination of Trump? Even if you claim as someone else that you can’t violate someone’s constitutional rights within an official act, we have already killed US citizens abroad via drone strikes. So if Trump is in some foreign country we can drop an a-bomb and claim it was to kill some terrorist & that’s a ok?

The minority points out that official acts was already a defense. The majority opinion here claims that it’s an absolute immunity and even motivation is impervious to this immunity claim. This is a serious undermining of the rule of law in a substantial way and paves the way for the US to have a dictatorship at some point in the future.
Do you mean succeeded as in "has a large user base" or as in "makes a lot of money"?
Depriving someone of their constitutional rights cannot be an official act by definition. Arguing that it can be is just word games in a world where words stop mattering.

Apply to Cisco. Not a joke.

But be forewarned they layoff a lot of people (but never for individual performance reasons). But so do most of the boring companies these days.
Game changer for scaling and costs? It’s an 80 MB database that needs to get duplicated by n developers and a test and production instance. They could get away with a $200 beelink under a desk. I see no reason to prematurely scale. I would focus on making things fast and creating a “duplicate database” button so devs can work without interrupting prod
Electron = nontrivial effort? What is so hard about Electron? The boilerplate is a snap, compared to Qt/Win32 boilerplate. Where do you fall down?
Forklifts and Postgres - export startup backed by patio11 is hiring its second engineer - Full-time | London, Acton | 80k base + 0.5% equity

About us:
Revenue for June 2024 was just over £300,000, an over 5-fold increase on this time last year.

We're an export company, investors include patio11, charlie songhurst and Backed VC. Myself (Ethan) and Ruairidh started the company while students at Cambridge in August 2021, and after several pivots have ended up in logistics/export, fast growing, and profitable. We're chasing down £1m monthly revenue in December 2024, and want someone who loves the idea of shipping code and containers to get us there

About the role:
Our first software engineering hire is joining next monday, and we are looking for one more, to write code on the desk next to me! You'll be shipping code to support new sales channels, wiring up label printers, probably eating an unhealthy amount of takeaway as a deliveroo editions is on the same warehouse block as us, and potentially being a backup forklift driver.

We disproportionately value earnestness and willingness to solve messy problems than extensive tech experience. Solving problems in logistics can involve a mix of code writing, data cleaning, and filling out forms. You were warned :)

Email me ethan@dirac.software if interested!
> The best way I see to establish "good faith" is to set clear expectations about what content is allowed, and any moderation beyond that is done by users customizing their own experience. A pattern of moderation which is contrary to stated policy, especially when it is contrary to the interests of users, could be "bad faith" moderation that would exempt the platform from Section 230 protections

This sounds a lot like we're kicking the can of worms down the road.

Now we have to define what content is allowed and someone has to decide if some action is contrary to that policy.

We're also giving the power to the government to rescind 230 and I don't doubt for a moment that an administration could find reason to do so particularly for media sites it doesn't appreciate...

Finally, we have to define if something is contrary to the interests of users, meaning we have to define the interests of users... holy cow.

I think less is more in this case. There are enough social media sites out there that you can dial in pretty exactly what you want to see, no matter your persuasion.
If you’re hoping trump is jailed before election, I agree that is unlikely to happen.
I think it means that he is liable for anything he does that is illegal if those illegal things aren't powers granted by the legislature.

If the president air strikes people and uses drone strikes using whatever system congress has said that makes that "okay" then he cannot be prosecuted for murder while authorizing and ultimately conducting drone strikes (in most circumstances).

However, if the president is having is own feud with some guy he doesn't like and finds a way to get him drone struck, that would not be covered by immunity because he wasn't acting as president in that capacity in any legally recognized way.
It's within the court's purview to invent new tests which lower courts can use to decide cases. That's the entire point of a landmark case.
Note, the case before the court was whether or not a person could be prosecuted (Donald Trump specifically), the court said no.
Ok, now hear me out. You bundle this with Bruno and some other networking tools as… The Woof Pack
The state is enormous. Dedicating megabytes and megabytes to key state is painful. And so is tracking state across components and through distribution channels. If you’re not afraid of that then just use symmetric crypto and be done with it.

Well it kind of does, because the president has the power to stop impeachment from ever happening in the first place, if they're willing to command the military to.

Did you forget that this comment chain was about leaking data to the server? Observing that you have leaked (note: past tense!) your data is not a recommended way to prevent leaking data.
GitLab, Mattermost, RocketChat would be a few good examples of products that began as OSS alternatives to well-established players.

Outline (https://www.getoutline.com) is successful on most metrics you'd judge a business and OSS project on.

I'm not sure if any of these ever pitched themselves explicitly that way on HN though. I think explicitly labeling as an "Open source alternative" brings a lot of baggage and expectations, and often says more about the maintainers philosophical POV than ability to create a sustainable business ;)
