love Simonw blogs. I've been reading his blogs using the python interpreter since last year September. He mentioned he started doing it on his own to generate whole applications on the go.

I'm still not clear not how to do it though. I expected some easy option or button, and didn't find it.
I admit I could have spent more effort trying to figure out how to do it, but a handy link/tutorial would have helped me keep doing it instead of pretty much ignoring GPT most of the times.
I suspect to emphasize enumeration so readers don’t incorrectly parse the sentence. But the text would be even clearer had these speech patterns been omitted altogether.

do note that while your location MAY not be shared, the absence of location information for when you turn on airplane mode reveals at least when you left and returned to the house.

i was worried also that airplane mode may not actually disable the radio but at least one random google result (from reddit, not graphene themselves) says it does.
it all makes sense if you read the paper linked at the top of the article.
The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 solved it by switching to a better TSMC node. The Gen 2 increased performance (on the same node) and got again somewhat less efficient.
Digging into the discussions in the repo’s issues, I found someone linking to this comparison between ULIDs and UUIDs: https://uuid.ramsey.dev/en/stable/rfc4122/version7.html

In short, it seems UUIDv7 is storage-wise compatible with ULID but not vice versa due to UUID’s versioning bits.
> just a cover for some totally centralized, authoritarian actions

Acceptance of that ascription is admittance of not having understood Anonymous at all.

Anonymous isn't a cover because Anonymous isn't anything. If someone says Anonymous did XYZ, or Anonymous is XYZ, and you accept it, you've failed to do your homework in verifying your sources. (Because there is no source for a statement like that that could be verified.)

The crux of Anonymous is that it is by its own nature undelineated and conceptually undefined. At best, it is a label for a rough set of ideas, in continuous flux, but even that is questionable. Anything that calls itself Anonymous might as well be Anonymous. Since the label has no meaning, adopting it (or ascribing it) has none either.

Does that mean there are no authoritarian actors on 4chan? No. Does that mean there are no "Anonymous" actions that are authoritarian in setup? No. But does it follow that anyone has any kind of control over "Anonymous": No. There is nothing to control. You can't control a label.

If you genuinely want to understand the phenomenon of Anonymous, you need to study semiotics (and the somewhat ill-reputed field of memetics.) I can't quite recommend any authors anymore, it's been a long time since I spent any academic thought on it. Maybe look for generic introductions into these fields.
I believe at this point dark mode should be treated as an accessibility feature and built right into browsers and css hints. Until that, just use DarkReader extension with suitable settings. It can change brightness, contrast, saturation and plays well with syntax coloring etc. Screws up only a few sites where you can turn it off on per-site basis. No in-site dark mode does that, and dark modes are often even more toxic than bright modes.
You know, I didn't even look at the last commit! I assumed it was a new thing, and hence why it was being shared now. Here's an idea for HN: when processing a repo link, auto add (<time since last commit>) to the end of the title.
> EU is arguably more regulated than California, but the regulations here have more sense to them, and arguably higher benefit to cost ratio.

The last time I checked the EU appeared to be in a full-blown multi-country energy crisis triggered by some of the most stunning displays of regulatory incompetence so far this century. So I would accept that the EU is more regulated but I don't think that is the sort of point that plays well right now.

I would be fighting tooth-and-nail to have my country not do what Germany did. The Texas grid, by comparison, looks like a paradise even if it is currently experiencing a week-long outage!
I (non-US, non-neurosurgeon) work with a lot of neurosurgeons in my daily practice and here’s my two cents on this.

Dude is a neurosurgeon. There are lots of other options for neurosurgeon, and some of them are really rewarding. You don’t like spine surgery because of all the aforementioned reasons? Why not try neuro-vascular surgery, where you cure stroke? Or neurosurgical oncology, where you cure cancer? Or neurosurgical trauma, where you are literally putting people’s head back together.

Dude has a huge dysphoria problem with his job, probably burn-out or something, I don’t know, but throwing away years of educations is kinda wasteful.

> One. In your experience of using it for a while now, what is a typical tree size? What’s the highest it’s ever been?

For me, the deepest node has ~ 25 ancestors. I don't know the largest depth it has ever been.

> Two. Why did you write it in C? Several other languages would surely make it much easier to implement that program.

I'm competent enough in C that it didn't matter to me, and the important thing was being able to call the library from any other language. Easy FFI made it quick to make a GUI for it (I primarily use the GUI now).

The library is in C, so others can make GUIs and wrappers in whatever language they want to, which is something I would like to encourage.
A typical commercial change control process exists to factor in human error. There's a cost to setting it up. This company never set it up, but ended up paying another way.
> Have you considered the possibility that the average person doesn't
care that much about privacy?

I have. I considered it in depth and did a good deal of psychological
research on it. Then I went out onto the street and asked people;
dozens and dozens of ordinary people, old, young, rich, poor...

Result: People really care about privacy.

You can read all about it in the podcast and blog I am not allowed to
mention here.

What you're alluding to I think is the idea that people do not fully
understand the link between technology and privacy violation.

Our view here is also biased. The idea that "people don't care that
much about privacy" naturally gets bandied around amongst developers
for whom profitable software designs do violate people's privacy.

This is very prevalent in the expat community where I have many friends. I hate it. At least the current AI developments made it possible for messenger apps to transcribe the messages to text (and back, though I haven't seen that feature yet) - we both get what's best for us.

And same with voice calls and voicemail - I mostly don't accept calls and let them all go to voicemail. iPhone transcribes what they're saying in real time and I can decide to pick up.

I'm really looking forward to an AI-first total overhaul of communication UX.
I feel like unrelated issues are being conflated here? The issue of one on one interpersonal communication should be a solved problem given email, text, phone, video call (one on one video calls don't suffer the same flavor of hideousness inflicted when the headcount starts to grow).

By comparison large headcount meetings are gross sadistic and pointless in person regardless of communications format selected. Either they're intended to let a small number of individuals convey information to a larger group (send a goddamn email already, if you're really fancy video your canned remarks and send a link to the video in the email), or they're intended to elicit some kind of exchange among a large group, at which point you end up with an hour and a half of nothing of substance being accomplished while some/most/all of the meeting participants are sitting there fighting their soul's urge to simply vacate their body on the spot. Then there's the ever-popular multi-departmental standup meeting, in which a bunch of people convey pointless detail at length about shit that is wildly irrelevant to the jobs of most of the other attendees to no obvious purpose.

Full Disclosure: I intentionally ignore my email under the assumption that if it's really important someone will pick up a phone and call.
HN is not a forum for “gotcha!” posts like this. If you mean to say something like “by carrying a cell phone you are already enabling AT&T or T-Mobile to legally sell your fully identifiable and detailed location history to anyone with cash” just say that. Not everybody knows exactly what you know, and sharing knowledge is the solution to that.

You are right in that it is solved if the goal is "I don't want any part of the string to be treated as HTML"

It's trickier if the goal is "I want to allow <strong> and <em> tags in the string to be rendered as bold and italic, but I don't want scripts to execute". It is possible, with things like DOMPurify, but ideally you'd try to avoid this if at all possible.
The glove80 is nice but it's by one guy if I'm not mistaken. When it comes to ergonomic stuff by big companies I'm still not so sure. Yes logitech made an ergo keyboard but they probably released 5 or 10 "regular" ones for one ergo one.
An auto incrementing integer (for internal use) and a string (for external) will be enough for the vast majority of use cases, is simple to understand, and works well.

The whole point of ULIDs and newer things like UUIDv7 is precisely so you don't have to do that.

I would definitely just use a ULID or UUIDv7 as my sole primary DB key for new projects going forward. You get the benefit of ascending ordered primary keys, but the key is still globally unique so can be used as public keys.

> Have you considered the possibility that the average person doesn't care that much about privacy?

it's not that they don't care - they didnt think they need to care. There's a big difference. Implicit trust in the data usage is the key here.

On the one hand, this implicit trust means the customer is a really good one. But abuses of this trust is inevitable imho, and eventually, it will be made public if it happened. Only then, will those average person actually reveal their real preference - that they do care!
Obviously one thing does not exclude the other, but the more processed data is before, the less has to be done later for every page retrieval.

Talos is OS running in the host. You can run in the pod whatever you need.

Also you shouldn't really use pod OS to debug it. Kubernetes supports debug containers: you launch a separate container (presumably with convenient debug environment) and mounts selected container rootfs inside, so you can inspect it as needed. It also helps, when the target container does not work and you can't just exec into it.

There's a recommendation to remove everything from the container that's not necessary for running a given program, that reduces attack surface.

Python and HPC is something receiving quite some attention. The reasoning is that the combination can unlock user productivity,the way it did for data science / machine learning with the use of standardized and (relatively) user-friendly libraries such as numpy/pandas. But the python+hpc end game is not yet visible. There are lots of incompatible frameworks, extensions, compilers etc but nothing sticking out as particularly compeling. Maybe this is the nature of the beast.
It's trivial to mount host root fs into container, so I don't see any issues "logging in" to it, as long as it works.
You would need to explain first what you mean by “no access to google“.
Why is the 30ms significant?
Yes - just double checked those, thankfully the framework builtins are correct (staying up to date with a well maintained framework does wonders for your security posture).

Dragnet searches are controversial in many societies, not just the US.

There’s a balance between individuals rights to privacy and what makes law enforcement easier.

One argument against broad surveillance measures like this one is that surveillance infrastructure is easy to implement and hard to get rid of again. You might be fine with the laws that are enforced with it today, but you might not be with what it’s used for in the future.

If someone really doesn't want to work, I think from the employer's perspective it doesn't make a difference. We could argue physical and mental inconveniences could be seen the same. I guess there will be places were there's a legal split between the two kinds, but I kinda wish there wasn't.

Just a remark about the cycles not changing the min-max.
That's not correct. Identical positions do not always have the same value.
Sometimes, a reaching the same position again will allow a player to claim a draw (3 times repetition). Sometimes a repeated position will bring them closer to some other draw mechanism (fe 50 moves without a capture or pawn move).
Generation, transmission, storage and local consumption of energy, are separate problems.
Hydrogen probably makes sense in the long term, it can be transported in pipes, can quickly refill a local users tank and is not going to create a monstrous waste recycling problem.
> they [google] should pay license fees for the GPS technology

but you yourself don't pay for your own access to GPS - so why should google foot a bill?

> access to water/air.

there's no universally free access to water. And i imagine in a future dystopian world, air could be metered out for which you have to pay, or breath polluted air.

> having some explicit expiration date for service-monopoly as well as idea-monopoly.

i think this is just another way of having the gov't authorities nationalize assets. If google maps is so useful, and you can't live without it, they are by definition generating value and they needs to be paid, in perpetuity as long as said value from the service is being produced. It's actually somewhat amazing that they're able to sustain this value production fueled by purely using advertising and private data extraction/exploitation.

I mean, if you use farms as a example of your idea of expiration dates, it will start to sound like communism!
Some places make remote meetings work really well for themselves. You can get automated transcripts, easy sharing of stuff like slide decks, low barriers to pulling in people if you realise they have something to add, etc etc.

But if your company has a shit meeting culture I think remote meetings can make it worse. People zoning out and working on other stuff is a symptom of that. I have found online meetings hide the costnof adding too many people and people are less diligent about meeting minutes etc. So you get a pattern of meetings with lots of people who are sitting there zoned out but who can't just skip it completely because there's no other way of finding out what's going on.
Do you have them publicly available somewhere? I'd be interested in that, especially your `next` function telling you which to-do is coming up next without you having to look at _all_ tasks again.
The things we could have if we finally accepted regulation is important for markets not hostile to consumers.
Show HN: I made a marketplace to sell side projects
Hey, I'm Salman

I’ve always been passionate about side projects, ever since I turned a simple hobby into a successful venture.

Now, I’ve discovered that many innovative side projects lack the right platform to shine.

So, I built Acquireside, a marketplace where you can buy and sell unique side projects, connecting creators with buyers who see the potential in their ideas.

For example, you can find tech innovations, creative arts, and educational tools all in one place.

I’d love to hear your feedback and see how Acquireside can help you bring your ideas to life.

> It's trickier if the goal is "I want to allow <strong> and <em> tags in the string to be rendered as bold and italic, but I don't want scripts to execute"

yes, because you're no longer allowing HTML, but allowing something similar to HTML but not (and which subset is different for different people/project etc).

So i personally would move up the requirements chain, where the requirement to allow "html" should be scrapped, and instead changed to be something like markdown - a pre-existing formatting protocol that does not have the undesirable aspects.

Or, as an alternative, host the html (without the stripping of "undesirables") in a separate iframe, on a totally different domain, and rely on the browser's cross-origin protection to prevent undesirable scripts or data leaks.
