I really like how a lot of software built to run amongst other GNOME applications, usually looks really GNOME-y. I know it's mostly just an effect of the system GTK components looking the way that they do, but it seems like people keep to the same icons, layouts, fonts, etc. when they make GNOME apps. RNote wouldn't look out of place next to any other system app, which is a rarity on other platforms!

But again I ask, why does the physical location of the data matter? Why do the laws care?

The EU has a law that said you must treat data of their citizens with respect. Fine, that's great. Any business that has a presence in the EU will need to follow that law. At that point, why does it matter where the bits are actually stored? Can the EU for some reason not enforce its privacy laws on Uber if Uber keeps its data somewhere else?

Conversely, if a business has no presence in the EU, can the EU enforce its data location laws on them?

The only thing that seems to matter for enforcement is where the company is located, so I'm really unclear what data location has to do with anything.
>Only software development seems to believe that anything, anywhere reaches a magic state of "done" and will never need to be touched again.

The problem is the mental model. There is a state of "done" for a lot of software. But it subsequently becomes "undone" due to outside factors.

There's no bearings, gaskets and lubricants that need maintenance. The software stays the same. So why would the software need maintenance.

Maintenance in software is because software runs on hardware. Hardware gets updates, and then the software needs updates to match.

Maintenance in software is because software runs on a changing OS.

Maintenance in software is because software interacts with other software that changes.

I think it's this lack of mental model of _why_ software needs maintenance, that it's not planned for.

On the contrary. Most enterprise users will prefer one package they can buy and not buy the thing piece wise.

Big reason why VSCode won was because they were able to provide a lot of things out the box saving the user round trip through the config hell rabbit hole modern vim/emacs ecosystems are.

If you want to sell developer tooling products, provide as much as possible out of the box.

Software Engineers (a large portion of HN community) inherently have a hard time with this. We're always taught to consider edge cases. Oftentimes handling the edge cases can be more work than the rest of the project.

But when we handle them, we give ourselves a pat on the back, without thinking can I just ignore the edge case and shrug if someone runs into it?

In the case of the OP, the edge case is the occasional user who might want to project their exact costs.

It’s The Guardian. They’re not exactly high quality journalism. They have tons of bias and have adopted almost an ideology while searching for a dedicated audience and revenue. I’m going to guess this article was fed to them by a corporate marketing team. It’s access journalism.

Anecdotally, as someone who is considering a career change out of tech, I am constantly shocked at just how long and how expensive it is to change careers to do anything else.

I shouldn't be surprised, given how much training it took me to get into this field, but being paid nothing and spending years in training was much easier to tolerate at 20 than at 40.

Google sells attention, not data.

If this statement is incorrect, please give me a pointer where I can buy user data from Google, and I'll correct my statement.
> It's not about data is sent to where, it's about what happens when it arrives to the physical servers, who has access to these files, and what can they do with it.

Right, but the EU can only enforce its laws on companies that have a presence in the EU. A company that doesn't do business in the EU and never will do business in the EU will not obey EU law regardless of what those laws say.

Meanwhile, a company that does business in the EU would be subject to fines by the EU and wouldn't be able to dodge them without just stopping doing business in the EU. So why do the laws not just say "here's how you have to treat data belonging to our citizens if you want to continue to do business in the EU"? Why does the physical location of the data that is being thus protected matter at all?
I looked into why I was unable to use a secure encryption password on android devices about a year ago and i was shocked to find the AOSP bug that was over a decade old identifying a max 16 character encryption password, and was absolutely floored to see CyanogenFraud now called LineageOS had willingly not patched this until literally the very latest release, which was not available for my one plus device at that time.

16 character max for a decade is a juicy rainbow table for the small cost of a few petabytes, something most law enforcement is easily capable of paying for.

Between the devils I know I much prefer my apple mobile devices, even with a fix applied I wonder about the intentions of a team that ignored security concerns for over a decade (both Alphabet and Lineage)
Kallax are the standard if you own vinyl records, absolutely perfect for that. Very affordable too given the size options.

The development of their phone was extremely slow, but today they ship within 10 days.

Fair enough, although I don't know about any other GNU/Linux phone with all free drivers and mainstream Linux support (which effectively means lifetime updates).

They are not bad journalism while also being maintained by their own trust fund, meaning they are pretty independent.

Yes, they have a bias but that doesn't mean they are bad journalism...
But why does that matter? Help me understand.

To be fair I haven't used an elisp REPL, unless it counts that I use commands. Any command used in Emacs is an eval step in a REPL.

But you mean a REPL as in a console-style interaction, right? It seems an impoverished interaction model, only necessary with other languages since they are not also the editor process.

Ok I can't have multiple REPLs but neither can I type on multiple keyboards at the same time. So it seems to only matter when you are going to spin up some noticeable chunk of work to be done in the background, while the user interacts with the editor. And that is totally doable with `while-no-input`.

In what situation are you running two or more noticeably slow call stacks that need to happen inside the editor process?
It kind of depends on where you are in physics. It might be easy for a materials scientist to do a controlled experiment, but it's approximately impossible for an astrophysicist. You can't exactly randomly assign celestial bodies to treatment and non-treatment groups; all you can do is observe.

Google gladly will broadcast you OpenRTB data (which includes meter accuracy location data) with shitty enterprise XML APIs if you are in the lists.
It all depends on your specific usage patterns. I can replace the battery during the day if I need (I don't do it every day). I find software sometimes buggy but usable as a daily driver.

Thank you. :) I don’t think of it as social media marketing but more of helping our target audience learn useful things. Yes that requires they actually find the articles which means sharing it on social, being mindful of SEO, and so on.

> that enable intelligence to get orders for interception of personal information on servers and entities within their legal jurisdiction.

That is common indeed. What's peculiar with US law is that it can mandate companies to move data about people outside of US jurisdiction that is stored outside of US jurisdiction and turn it over to US authorities, even when it violates local law.
I mean interrupting is one of the harder social actions in my opinion, especially in the workplace. So much of this comes from culture, family and your personality.

~300 hours unpaid overtime per year and having to respond after work to emails and calls? That’s crazy.

Just watched this and it was fantastic. The first half is much like public lectures of hers I've watched before, but the second half goes into more depth in a variety of areas that were pretty cutting edge for 1982 like cybersecurity, loose coupling/modularity in software, VLSI/SoC, and programming language standardization.
> Educators say their tried and true lesson plans are no longer enough to keep students engaged at a time of struggling mental health, shortened attention spans, reduced attendance and worsening academic performance. At the crux of these challenges? Addiction to cell phones.

Yes, cell phones are a problem. But what keeps getting ignored, by practically everyone, is the detrimental effect of letting covid spread unchecked.

Kids get long covid, we know this now. It represents differently in kids than adults. This can have a direct affect on their performance at school, including the symptoms described above.

Getting multiple covid infections increases your risk of long covid. We are failing to take even the simplest of precautions to protect our children. This will impact their everyday life, including academic performance.

I fully expect people will downvote this due to the mass denial that the pandemic is not over. That's fine. But I know there are people reading that actually pay attention to what Epidemiologists are saying, rather than relying on hearsay or institutions motivated to keep the economy propped up in the short term.
Can you elaborate on your diet changes?
> Every once in a while, the browser detects I'm typing "±±±±±±+..."

Interesting bug! Not exactly following on what triggers the bug. Do you have a ± key on your keyboard (some international one)? Or does it occur after e.g. pressing "+", then "-"? Do you use compose keys? Does it do this randomly?
That is only the case in specific Intel CPU models.
Which products? What happened?
this comment is a good example of why modern economics is seen as out of touch. you start with a theoretical model then try and apply it to the world vs starting with the lived expenses of workers and building off of that
I fully agree. There has to be some disruption to allow a healthy competition to exist. This will allow at least the possibility for better companies to thrive. At present the behemoth contractors are propped up by the fact that people will always say the small upstarts can't scale enough to meet the needs of the massive purchaser. Companies like SpaceX on the space side and Anduril on defence are showing that innovation is possible in these industries, and that small companies have something to offer. In both cases they probably got more of an audience in government than the average startup because of high-profile connections (Musk and Thiel respectively). It would be great if the playing field were set up such that others could also innovate and disrupt without having that leg up.
The onerous requirements are just for a first build, though?

I used to leave things like that running overnight in the old days.

All subsequent builds are just going to be compiling the one or two files you changed and then linking in the other 99.9%, which isn't going to take very long.
> So just give me an apple messaging client on my non-apple devices.

Why do you need it when you have Matrix and Signal? Why do you trust a closed, non-auditable Apple software?
Great article! The emphasis on safety and performance really resonates with me, especially in domains like systems programming where Rust's memory safety guarantees can prevent a lot of the headaches that come with languages like C or C++. The ownership model is a game-changer, even though it has a learning curve. I also appreciate how Rust balances low-level control with modern language features like pattern matching and an expressive type system.

However, I’m curious about your thoughts on the ecosystem around Rust for certain domains, particularly in web development or data processing, compared to more established languages. While Rust is making strides, do you think it’s ready to fully replace other languages in these areas, or is it more of a complement to existing tech stacks?
cops go to the bathroom...
The reason why the physical location matters, besides latency, is that certain governments have laws in place that allows them access to any data in their territory.

In the case of EU countries (I think its part of gdpr), services that handle personal data need to make sure that that data stays safe. The only way they can do that is to make sure that the data stays in a certain region.

I think that is why op is advocating for stronger laws. Due to lax privacy laws in the US, it's impossible for European companies (and other privacy concerned companies) to host their data in the US, therefore your missing a share of the market
For example, look at the fines German car manufacturers "faced" in the EU when their emission-cheating scheme was exposed...

Leveraging AI-Powered Kuiper to Create Board Presentations in 10 Minutes
One of the founders of Rerun here. I don't remember exactly where the idea came from but I think it was basically two things. First off, creating chunks of columns to store or pass around is a pretty common approach in data systems. Parquet files have the concept of row groups for instance which is pretty similar (main difference is that chunks don't have to include all columns). Second, it was just quite obvious that we needed to amortize the fixed costs better for small data somehow
I've used both Lineage and Graphene extensively, and contrary to a lot of what I see even here in this thread, I find Lineage (without MicroG) to be a more Google-free experience, at least on the surface. Graphene's sandboxed GApps can still learn information about your usage patterns if you log into the services, albeit far less than they would on a standard Android device. However, it's for the sandboxed GApps that I consider Graphene to be more usable for the average smartphone user.

I'll admit to not really understanding what about the AOSP is inherently bad other than being maintained by Google. To my understanding, it's only the GApps binary that remains shrouded in sinister mystery, and obviously that's not present in Lineage.
Hm, it looks like it didn't, or I can't find it. I was never that into Star Wars so I assumed I'd just forgotten, but I figured it would obviously have been Chewbacca.
Your license badge shows AGPL 1.0, but the license file GPL 3.0.

I would suggest a commercial option in addition to GPL, otherwise it is going to have a very limited reach. Or possibly switch to LGPL (depending on your intentions), but this decision need to be done before you take other any contribution (or add a requirement to sign CLA to PR checklist).
Understood. I should have asked my question a bit more specifically: what's wrong with CTEs that wouldn't be an issue with this new pipe syntax. I briefly scanned the paper and it appears there aren't any specific benefits to the pipe syntax that would make optimization easier. So we can expect that if a SQL engine doesn't optimize CTEs well it would likely have the same limitations for the pipe syntax.

Section 2.1.4 the paper lists the benefits of the pipe syntax over CTEs, and they are all based on ergonomics. As someone who has never had issues with the ergonomics of CTEs I must say I am not convinced that proposed syntax is better. It may be that I've been doing SQL for so long that I don't see its warts. Overall SQL feels like a very well designed and consistent language to me. The new pipe syntax appears to bolt on an imperative construct to an otherwise purely functional language.
I would think that applying glue contributes to the reason why the furniture doesn't survive the first owner/disassembly.

Unless this is meant for subsequent owners/houses?

I've never had an issue with IKEA disassembly/assembly having moved/lived/purchased across 3 continents, but I have always done my own assembly/disassembly.
> write a strongly worded letter to city council about the police?

Just show up and speak. Even if unofficially. Most people can’t be bothered to, and that gives the move power.

I’ve literally helped insert language into legislation at the state level because I was the only one who called on a niche bill and my state Assemblyman didn’t have the staff to go through it.
>global network of computers

Global network of computers where data ultimately flowed to American mainframes. Countries realize data is a resource / liability / vunerability, and even if most struggle to profit from it, they'd still want sovereign control over it. You only really control things on your soil. Physical location / possession matters for control.
Eventually everyone ends up at a power plant, there's an insane amount of people living in the European grid. If an optimization ends up saving a couple tonnes of CO2 per year it is hard to not call it a good thing.

How a bad real estate deal sunk Red Lobster [0]

When a private-equity firm bought the iconic seafood chain in 2014, it sold the real estate under the restaurants for $1.5 billion. Then the restaurants struggled to pay the rents [1]

It Was A Bad Real Estate Deal, Not A Bad Meal Deal That Killed Red Lobster [2]

Ultimate Endless Real Estate Costs at Red Lobster [3]

Golden Gate crippled Red Lobster by selling off one of its most valuable assets, the real estate it owned [4]

To help fund the deal, Red Lobster spun off its real estate assets in a transaction known as a sale leaseback agreement. Red Lobster had long owned its own real estate but would now be paying rent to lease its restaurants. Sale leasebacks are very common in the restaurant industry, but the arrangement wound up hurting Red Lobster because it became stuck with leases it no longer could afford to pay. [5]

But again, it wasn’t because of the shrimp. Following the sale of Red Lobster to Golden Gate, the chain’s real estate assets were also sold off, which meant that the restaurants now had to pay rent on these locations to their parent company. As such, the company was stuck in leases for underperforming restaurants that it couldn’t afford [6]
