Brazilian here. To the best of my knowledge such orders are always publicised, if nothing else because they would be highly unlikely to apply to only one platform (ie, the courts or some regulatory agency would need to require Android and other phones to also disallow ProtonVPN or any other).

So this seems like a tech glitch, could even be some block implemented for example at the Embratel backbone connecting Brazil to the rest of the world. Or, could indeed be the unlikely but possible cases of Apple just responding to a “secret” order or deciding out of its own volition to block them.
There is no fee to make it rock. This just isn't true.
Under the guise of "antimalware" or similar.
Smart devices' biggest appeal is that they can turn what was a one-off sale to a recurring subscription.

When I say "appeal" I mean to the company, not to the customer, of course.
That is not true. Show me another self rocking bassinet like the snoo.

Also the snoo does not require the app at all.
I’ve posted it many times, given the opportunity, and I think it also fits nicely here:

Same. Neovim and plugins I use have been remarkably stable from the start
Most are adulterated with THC (likely only THC).
I didn't know skitch shut down! Love the app & will definitely try this out
That pricing is ridiculous. A token is essentially a 32 bit integer. Four bytes. A million tokens is 4MB. Imagine paying $1/hr for less than the storage of three floppies. That's two million times more expensive than the storage cost of standard S3 (720 hours×256M tokens (1gb)×$1 vs $0.09). Or 2000 times more expensive than the storage cost of Elasticache serverless.

(Yes, I realize it's probably more than 4MB, but it's still an outrageously high markup. They could do their own caching, not tell you they're doing it, and keep the difference and make even more money)
Maybe, but the extra few hours we got of sleep each night meant the quality of interaction/bonding during our awake hours was higher.
Are you referring to this quote by Admiral Grace Hopper?

"It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission."

I never thought of it as arrogant, but I guess it depends on context.
> you are not paying attention.

Or it just isn't being discussed. I'd expect to hear fewer of these stories in Russia because they don't have a free press and you can be punished for what you say online.

I'm sure this is what you mean, but not everyone is going to understand what that phrase means.
I attended executive training for a couple of years. The members were all CEOs and would come to the group in monthly meetings with a very wide range of problems from: 'my VP Finance does not complete his work on time and offers an endless stream of excuses. I need to exit him. What's the best approach?' To 'My unionized interior finishers are abusing their time clock, how should I approach the union to correct this?'

The coach used an effective 5-step approach to the resolution process:

1. Present: The presenter makes a clear, one-sentence statement of the problem.

2. Clarify: The sounding team asks clarifying questions: 'How long has the VP been behaving this way?', 'How well do you know the local union leadership?' Only clarification at this step. No suggestions yet.

3. Suggestions/Recommendations: 'Conduct a confidential search, negotiate an exit package and move on. Be sure to keep the BoD up to date on this.'

4. Reaction: Presenter indicates the suggestion they believe is most likely best for them.

5. Accountability: Next meeting, the presenter reports whether they took action, and whether the results benefited from the discussion.

Phases 2 & 3 were conducted in round-table style, with each team member interracting one at at time.

The results were typically effective. The presenter didn't always take the advice, but always reported that the process had provided insight.

FWIW.
But can you make a decent job queue with anything that stores data? Not easily. E.g. you need atomicity if multiple consumers can take jobs, and I think you need CAS for that, not just any storage will do, right?

You probably need ACI and also D if you want your jobs to persist.
I don't have any problem empathizing with business mistakes. I have made bad choices both as an individual and as a company.

Doesn't mean I am willing to subsidize them, but I get it.

My wife and I are currently borrowing a Snoo from a friend and have found it very helpful. Our daughter is 8+ weeks and regularly sleeping 7+ hours in a single stretch each night, probably heavily due to the Snoo. When we first got the Snoo, we saw an immediate change in our daughter's sleep where she went from having a unreliable 2-3 hour stretch between feedings to a solid 3+ hours between feedings with less fits during her sleep and also falling to sleep faster when we put her in the Snoo.

We understand the desire for the company to make money, but we feel there's a happy middle-ground where the Snoo could have the premium app subscription waived for the first child (6-12 months premium subscription free), but require a fee for the app for future children. That being said, the Snoo has been advertised for years around the core features that are now being locked behind a subscription.

We are very fortunate to be borrowing the Snoo from our friend, but it definitely makes us second guess buying a Snoo if the price goes up due to the "mandatory" subscription fee. Would we still use the Snoo even if we had to pay the subscription fee? Most likely, because one is ultimately buying sleep back by using a Snoo. At the same time, the Snoo does not work for every child and we've heard of multiple parents in our friend circles who bought the Snoo but didn't end up using it because it didn't work for their children. It's kind of an expensive, risky bet to make for the potential chance that it may not work out.

I personally think the Snoo is overpriced and think the true price is probably around $1,000, but it sounds like there are inefficiencies to be ironed out on Happiest Baby's side. The "mattresses" the Snoo comes with are simple foam and it's made up of a ton of plastic. Not being a physical product engineer myself, I think it could probably be re-engineered to bring the cost down while retaining the same feature set.
We rented but we know a lot of parents that didn't because they didn't want a "used" bed for their newborn. To each their own.
That's fine, but the snoo isn't a scam. It works really well, and is far superior to any other bassinet on the market.

If you value your sleep the snoo is worth it, and frankly I suspect there is a significant consumer base that would pay an even higher price for it.
Well I am glad I am not alone. It is a strange feeling to know you are right and the computer saying no making you doubt yourself. Like, my first reaction is usually to write the password in clear text and copy pasting it to rule out keyboard issues ...
> The only disincentive to arresting more people is a bit of paperwork

This is indeed a problem in which the police are, essentially, breaking the law. The question is, how do we fix it?

The intuitive answer would be to impose penalties on cops who arrest people without cause. Which sounds great, until you consider the incentive it gives them to commit perjury and falsify evidence in order to avoid the penalty. So what else you got?

One possibility is to have better cops. Right now we need a lot of cops who are willing to get into shootouts with gangs and wrestle amped up meth cooks to the ground, which attracts a certain type of person to the profession, and not really the ones we might want. If we were to end the War on Drugs and thereby put all the drug dealers out of business because they can't compete with Walmart's pharmacy, the people you attract to a profession that is no longer so steeped in violence might be of a different kind.
You don't have to pay the subscription to make it rock. The subscription just tracks sleeping hours.
I have a free Android app IdeaGrowr that has quite a lot of users, and have tried some things that resemble this concept somewhat.

I don't have the time right now to delve in all the aspects of it, but I have many thoughts about it. The main thing is that you need to come up with a very concrete example scenario where you know that this platform would be amazing. Use this to guide your first iteration and marketing.

Now since presumably your platform is all user generated content (or is it AI?), then how are you going to kick-start the content generation?
Is pretty great if these features are constrained to a utility function or library though.

Being able to put your types in as an arg and keep the other parts in sync in the editor without having to write a bunch of boilerplate just to define one-off types. I find it speeds up dev and reduces the amount of application code that needs testing overall.
I hope that you aren't expecting a court with a rampant Clarence Thomas to care about anything pertaining to your rights vis-a-vis the police.
Uh, it very much is? Sure, there is age discrimination, but there are plenty of people in their 50s and 60s making well north of that.
That's basically SQL. Many SQL systems have lots of built in connectivity to various data sources.

DuckDB is a good example of a (literally) serverless SQL-based tool for data processing. It is designed to be able to treat the common data serialization formats as though they are tables in a schema [1], and you can export to many of the same formats. With extensions, you can also connect to relational databases as foreign tables.

This connectivity is a big reason it has built a pretty avid following in the data science world.

> Are there any downsides? Yes.

There are downsides for Apple to the rate of their 30% cut. That is why they are doing their best to keep sideloading off their devices. Not to protect users - as you already stated there are many other layers of protection in place for that - but to protect their revenue.
> And there's no realistic way to charge for that other than subscription for the premium (non-safety) stuff. The alternative is to keep developing new models with new features and adding crap people don't need.

There’s another alternative: simply sell them for a little more than they cost. Just keep doing that. Solid business plan.
This is just a discourse based on "I need to churn out something, I need that fast and I didn't start in the web game when Backbone and E4X were solid corporate choices". If you are not in a hurry, work in a solid team and have a good attention span, a lot of clickbait idiocy around JS may not happen. It's just that the lone inexperienced guy is one of millions inexperienced guys who are taught the wrong ways everyday.

I'm presenting you one of countless examples: a lot of coding bootcamps teach React, maybe with TS, maybe with JS.

Enter react-create-app.

The docs are a link, while the commands you can copy and paste are laid out at 9th row in the README. That will become a habit for a junior.
The first 3 months after my daughter was born I slept next to her while she was in this. If she was hungry or needed a change she'd let me know. This helped her sleep and helped the rest of us get some rest as well.
> Will they just cut me off if my customers try to write about things they don't like?

The response you get back will have a refusal, which is pretty standard
It makes no difference. Saudi Arabia won't stop pumping gas because it's not carbon neutral.

edit Depleting their entire reserves of gas would be stopping because it's unsustainable, not because it's not carbon neutral. Also that sounds like a really bad idea.
What? Almost none of those features require costs to maintain:

- Car Ride Mode - adds extra bounces

- Level Lock - don't change rhythm

- Sleepytime Sounds - play sounds before and after sleep

and so on.

The only ones I can see? Tracking, Sleep Logs (but I'd also argue that given that this is a smart device, I'd say that they could be expected baselines).

But as for the other, without being argumentative, I am sincerely struggling why it seems reasonable to you that "extra bounces", etc. are a Premium "subscription" feature.
Well that really depends where you're caching the data.

Is it a lot for caching in L1 on a chip somewhere? No that'd be wildly cheap.

Is it a lot for "caching" on a tape somewhere?
Yes.

So where on this scale does keeping it quick to get to gpu memory lie?

> That's two million times more expensive than the storage cost of standard S3 (

You're not comparing to s3 at all.
Where can you get a better built and cheaper bassinet?
Yeah, having lived through total internet shutdown during anti-government riots, Linux and F-Droid didn't help us much here. If the infrastructure is down, it doesn't matter what technology you're using to access it, and shutting it down at the first sign of trouble for the establishment is quickly becoming the norm in a lot of places. I have a feeling you (currently relatively free countries) will follow in a decade or two, like you have already done with some things. Our governments borrow the worst ideas from each other.
About half of those premium features should not require a server or company-borne "costs to maintain." This seems like a pure cash grab: what subscription will the market bear?
I put my TOTPs in Google and Microsoft authenticators for double-redundancy. On two separate handsets. Then I have someone else I trust implicitly scan the QRs too and have them on their phone.

As then as now, you can manage it.

vm.overcommit_memory == 0 heuristic overcommit

vm.overcommit_memory == 1 (full overcommit) allows allocating more memory than there is ram + swap.

vm.overcommit_memory == 2 never overcommit. There must be enough physical ram or virtual swap to allocate the memory.
Can you answer the questions?
Actually there is one way, which we use frequently at work and is quite effective. One of the participants has a screen shared and types in bullet points on topics and action points. In the final minute we just go over them and then as soon as the meeting ends the person presses send to all participants. Anyone not explicitly objecting shortly afterwards (which they wont because they just saw it being typed live and were asked again) would be tacitly confirming it. No extra hassle, and in fact less hassle.
In theory, you can broadcast different signals on different frequencies, one per aircraft.
I’ve read the register throughout the years but I never thought much about the folks behind it. The obituary tells a wild story that was heartwarmingly written by a friend. Now I’m waiting for the biopic!
Is multi-step (fan out, etc) typically something a queue or message bus would handle?

I’ve always handled this with an orchestrator solution like (think Airflow and similar).

Or is this a matter of use case? Like for a real-time scenario where you need a series of things to happen (user registration, etc) maybe a queue handling this makes sense? Whereas with longer running tasks (ETL pipelines, etc) the orchestrator is beneficial?
The `+` register is the system clipboard in vim already. What you're referring to is remapping the `+` register as the default register (in place of the 'unnamed' register, which is accessed explicitly as the `"` register) for some operations - typically yank and paste.
Do you have a source showing that Joseph Dorobek was extremely racist? I can't seem to find anything about him being racist.

If you think you have found that, you are kidding yourself. Powerful people have incentives to hire experienced and motivated professionals and the lawyers, guns, and money to do so. Odds are you wont be the smartest person in the room. Good luck.
Show HN: I created a tool to plan for your financial freedom using crypto
I'm a humble developer who loves crypto, and I decided to build something simple but useful for both crypto natives and those new to the space. It’s called Retirewithcrypto.co.

The idea is straightforward: I wanted a tool that helps people get a better sense of the yields available in DeFi and how they could use those yields to plan for retirement. I’m pulling in data from the DefiLlama API to get real-time yields, and then doing all the calculations on the frontend to show you what those yields could mean for your financial goals.

It’s nothing fancy—just something that I hope can help people, whether they’re deep into crypto or just curious about how it might fit into their financial plans.
The primary cause of the left-pad incident was that left-pad was removed from the npm registry. Many libraries depended on left-pad. The same could have occurred with any popular library, whether micro or not.

To reformulate the statement made in the intro of this post: "maybe it’s not a great idea to outsource _any critical_ functionality to random people on the internet."

It has long been a standard, best practice in software engineering to ensure dependencies are stored in and made available from first-party sources. For example, this could mean maintaining an internal registry mirror that permanently stores any dependencies that are fetched. It could also be done by vendoring dependencies. The main point is to take proactive steps to ensure your dependencies will always be there when you need them, and to not blindly trust a third-party to always be there to give your dependencies to you.
Have you tried setting up a build command in Sublime Text to run gdb? I find it a bit easier for cli stuff that depending on a plugin. The json config is rather simple.
Let's write some open source bassinet firmware.
I think all of it just doesn't fit very neatly to this type of framework. It's a combination of very many things, different teams, systems, legacy systems, lack of data, bureaucracy, politics, so it is overall just very messy. In many cases it feels impossible to make others understand what the true risks are if they are not intimately familiar with everything that's going on. It's the kind of thing like, not sure, if you've seen Krazam videos, but the one with Galactus (microservices). You kind of have to explain why some simple thing can't be done or some seemingly simple thing is just way too risky or time consuming.

I would actually rather not work on something like this, but it pays more than anything else I could currently get.
Watched some of his streams a while back. One of the most talented/productive devs I have ever seen tbh.
I heavily agree. It’s something I had at my first office job. I had no email address, no messaging app, everything came through my PM or manager. Ive never been as productive as that job. Straight to work with no distractions and had clear goals.
1. I wonder how much of this can be solved by well-designed 3rd party search engines?

2. Would be nice to see some well-organized search engines / web indexes that stay up to date and don't suck. Searching for a lot of stuff on google is like asking, "Please show me generic business site articles."
If your only examples are leftPad and isNumber, I can’t take this article seriously. There are so many really useful micro libraries.

Will you pay 10x for synthetic fuel? And if you do, for moral reasons, you will be driven out of the market by those burning cheaper fuel. Just like the cultured meat startups have learned, established players won't let you take away their subsidies and drive them out of business.

Big Oil has rivers of money to lobby and make sure carbon-neutral fuel startups can't legislate them out of the market.
that sounds like what we have right now.
"RAM near a GPU" is ~the same cost as "RAM near literally any other piece of hardware". Even if it has to traverse the network, that's a fairly low, fairly fixed (in, say, the same rack) cost. Hell, it's probably even fast enough to use an NVME disk.

Google can search the entire Internet in a fraction of a second, they can keep a million tokens within a few dozen milliseconds of a GPU for less than a dollar an hour.
Who do you think is just "tough on crime"?

Ideologically, Justice Thomas obviously is the most opposed to asset forfeiture. Sotomayor, Kagan, Jackson, and Gorsuch are all opposed to it too. I suppose that leaves Roberts, Kavanaugh, Barrett, and Jackson as the tough on crime crowd?
The trick at Microsoft is to start working on your project in your spare time. Then incorporate it into your project at MSFT. You get the clout associated with having an open source project but then you also get to use it internally as a sanctioned tool
That presupposes Samsung decides to start installing an agent on your device to do this and makes it impossible to disable (which they can't really do, because it's Android).
The four abstraction layers reflect the reality of technological drift over time.

Even stipulating a Wand of Internet Technology (WIT) that could produce the One True Stack (OTS), two things remains undone:

- fixing all the old stuff (or does OTS emulate it all?)

- precluding further drift (or does OTS end all that?)
Being halfway decent with computers doesn’t mean you know what to do with money.

A very specific type of VPN, which is easily blocked.

I don't know if it's monopolistic as the comment you replied to says, but in the context of the thread, the build-in support doesn't fix the problem banning apps from the app store creates.

The Register is one of the few great iconoclastically cool news sites I am truly fond of and respect, in the company of Suck.com, FuckedCompany.com, and Morph's Output on the Information Superhighway. But unlike those historic news sites of yore, it's still somehow managed to say in business, and remains relevant and interesting, after all these years.
It doesn't have to be either-or. Narrow specialists lack the intellectual curiosity that would drive them to seek understanding. False generalists lack the drive to become good at anything. True generalists have wide interests and become experts in many things.

You can't be a generalist without being an expert.
I would expect public votes -- Congress, Supreme Court, etc. -- to frequently cluster around 50%-plus-one. The internal lobbying and horse trading can stop after the winning viewpoint has its majority of votes, so the minority viewpoint voters go on record with their original viewpoint.

Is that fast enough? And how much data is being stored? They're not storing the tokens you pass on but the activations after processing them. I'll take a wild stab that the activations for Claude 3.5 aren't anywhere near 4 meg.
