I have been using Windows and Linux for about 20+ years. Still remember the Linux Kernel 2.0 days and Windows NT 4. And I have to admit that I am more familiar with the Linux kernel than the Windows one.

Now, that being said, I think the Windows kernel sounded better on paper, but in reality Windows was never as stable as Linux (even in it's early days) doing everyday tasks (file sharing, web/mail/dns server etc.).

Even to this day, the Unix philosophy of doing one thing and doing it well stands: maybe the Linux kernel wasn't as fancy as the Windows one, but it did what it was supposed to do very well.
Junk like hackernews?
I'd love to do something similar for myself, but having never worked with NFC I see there are tons of different options.
Would you mind mentioning what tags you got?
Isn’t what the article suggests (with defer and then WriteString) technically a race condition? Is there no way that the closer can get called before WriteString executes?
Country should get the tax cash, then company and country should both be fined by EU.
Many see a value in "natural" objects that is absent in those engineered by man. There is a raw energy and story behind it. Would you be just as awe-struck by a magnificent waterfall built by engineers flowing atop beautiful factory-produced rocks as one created by geologic forces over millennia?
I know what you are talking about with longer battery life :)

I have a "dumbphone" with a battery that lasts 1 to 2 weeks depending on use, it's such a surprise when the battery goes that I'm often stuck without it being charged.

The irony is breathtaking.
What’s interesting is that it’s common for governments to give tax incentives to companies that will result in driving more economic value for their region.

Eg Ireland might give a tax incentive if a large Fortune 500 company hires X people in Ireland.

Question: does this ruling prohibit that common practice?
I get all of their websites in french (correctly) but some of their emails used to always come in german. I don't speak german, I've never set the language to german, I don't think I had even visited amazon.de at that point.

I recently heard someone at church who listened to his audio bible, I thought that's such a great voice for it.
React Native Animations
Hi,

I'm Catalin Miron, and I’ve built AnimateReactNative.com, a platform with over 120 copy-paste-ready React Native animations designed to save you time and effort. Whether you're looking to quickly implement animations or want to deepen your knowledge of concepts like gestures, math, and micro-interactions, this collection offers real-world examples and hands-on learning opportunities.

I created this resource to help developers improve their animation skills and, ultimately, enhance mobile user experiences.

Check it out and let me know your thoughts!
Yes, note you’ll also see:

defer f.Close()

Instead of,

defer func(){ _ = f.Close() }()

I think this is likely a code style difference due to working with a linter that alarms on discarded error returns, but I’m not sure. Both options have the same behavior, unless you reassign f (defer f.Close() will use the original value, defer func() ... will use the current value).
You are proving my point talking about the percentage of deaths caused by medical errors. If you had 100,000 people receive medical care, 10 die, and 5 of them are due to medical errors, then sure, you could spin that as "50% of deaths were caused by medical errors". Never mind the context, never mind the fact that we are actually able to identify the errors in the first place!

So again, if you want to ignore the safeguards that we've built for good reason - take your business to Tijuana.

I’m not well versed enough on the subject to know if there’s important nuance here that I’m missing… but that doesn’t sound like a contradiction to me. That’s effectively a map with O(n) access, right? I think I would more generally refer to that as a “collection”, but it certainly contains inodes as you describe it.

> Until these fines become meaningful, companies will just continue breaking the law and asking for forgiveness later, as the changes to their market cap can offset this fine in hours.

Up until recent years the EU didn’t even know if it could take action against U.S. based tech giants. Now that the EU has established wins in fines, usb-c, user replaceable batteries, and alternate app stores, I expect EU regulators to take even bolder action.

Ireland were petitioning heavily for them not to pay, but now get a windfall all the same.
> I would speculate that for many generations, evolution did not care much about your IQ. In the past few hundred years, with modern culture, IQ began to matter more.

False. Human beings are not strong, fast, agile, or robust in comparison to other animals. Human beings don't have horns, tusks, fangs, claws, or venom. In a 1-on-1 fight with many animals with no weapons, we die.

Humans specialized in intelligence with big brains and endurance with a sophisticated cooling system. Humans had to be smart and highly skilled to survive.

Place Arnold Kling anywhere on planet Earth 50,000 years ago and he would quickly die because he doesn't have the skill set or the smarts to survive. He can't hunt, track, fish, make stone tools, skin animals, make clothes, build a shelter. He might not even know how to start a fire or find water.
A New Theory of Everything Just Dropped [video]
Gravitas itself, personified.-
Market cap is the theoretical value of all the company’s future growth/cash flows brought forward to today. It’s speculative, and fluctuates with the stock price.

Tax bills have to be paid in cash, not stock. A better analogy is to simply look at Apple’s net profits, since that’s where the money will come from.

$13B is not nothing, even for Apple.

At least you had graphics. Zork I did it for me, I still remember my first word: "forest". Never could figure out wtf a "stiletto" is though, it wasn't in the ancient dictionary I had at the time.
proxer.me is a prominent German anime/manga community (needs login for seeing episodes). German-language stuff is typically licensed and needs to be watched elsewhere though.
The regular https://open.spotify.com URL is registered to be handled by the Spotify app on iOS devices, so no bouncing from Safari - it opens straight away in Spotify. Nothing to play on a specific speaker, though - but my homepod mini is nearby so a tap to my poster then a tap to my speaker starts my listening session.
Read it again. The court has not imposed a fine. The €13 billion represents taxation on many years of corporate profits, that the EU's competition authority asserted Apple should have paid to the Irish exchequer, but did not due to a favourable taxation agreement dating back to 1991.
defer gets executed at the end of the current function
Yup, I wrote it that way because I have a linter for unused error returns with a handful of exceptions (like closing http request bodies).
Why would you compare to market cap? The company is going to sink or swim regardless of what the market pegs it at.

With the way Cloudflare works I'd say R2 is still a relatively young product and hasn't been heavily battle tested.

There are a lot of stable and working products.

And to support, well don't depend on it! If it works it works.
One nice thing from knowing squares is that you can calculate for example 23 * 47 as (35 - 12) * (35 + 12) = 35^2 - 12^2.

But this doesn't always work and you still need to be good at adding/subtracting.
I've been dreaming of a tool which resembles this, at least in spirit.

I want to figure out how to structure a codebase such that a failing test can spit out a CID for that failure such that it can be remotely recreated (you'd have to be running ipfs so that the remote party can pull the content from you, or maybe you push it to some kind of hub before you share it).

It would be the files relevant to that failure--both code files and data files, stdin, env vars... a reproducible build of a test result.

It would be handy for reporting bugs or getting LLM help. The remote party could respond with a similar "try this" hash which the tooling would then understand how to apply (fetching the necessary bits from their machine, or the hub). Sort of like how Unison resolves functions by cryptographic hash, except this is a link to a function call, so it's got inputs and outputs too.

Of course that's a long way from vomiting everything into a text file, I need to establish functional dependency at as small a granularity as possible, but this feels like the first step on a path that eventually gets us there.
I missed wired headphones... Until I tried air pods pro. Even though I use them with a pixel phone fwiw.
Congrats on the launch! Based on the demo you showed in SF it looks very promising. I wish you could have had this tool back at Celtra :)
So you are not aware that public transport companies in general have a public API for that data, and that openstreetmap exists?
Apple didn't break the law, Ireland did.

Cool. I'm a big fan of RSS feeds.

Wondering if it's necessary to continue with the other checks if you find a feed in the meta tags?
You have a point here that I have also noticed in a more rural/suburban setting. The number of adults, who presumably have a driver's license (or, at minimum, received some level of driver's ed in their secondary schooling), who don't know which side of the road pedestrians walk on/bicycles ride in is astounding and, in my experience, increasing. Add to this pedestrians who hop on and off the curb without notice, cyclists who swerve all over both lanes or ride at night without lights and reflectors, and people in roads in dark clothing and no lights.

It's gotten to the point that it's been frustrating and frightening to drive anywhere (dependent on how light it is).
> If you think the majority of people keep business names and addresses in a contacts list, you're really out of touch.

This is not at all what they were saying, and I'm not sure where you got that. What they're saying is that Google doesn't have a monopoly on business location data, so searching for a business on a competitor (especially a large one like Apple, but mostly even OSM) does just work.
The true losers here are Ireland.

It is interesting how places like Luxembourg get away with similar antics.

Reflection 70B's Official API Is Sonnet 3.5 Wrapper
Absolutely this. Also radiologists are usually given notes on patients that accompany whatever image they are reading, and in cases like, eg. ulstrasound often perform the exam themselves. So, they are able to asses presentation, hear patient's complaints, learn the history of the patient etc.

Not to mention that in particularly sick patients problems tend to compound one another and exams are often requested to deal with a particular side of the problem, ignoring, perhaps, the major (but already known and diagnosed) problem etc.

Often times factors specific to a hospital play crucial role: eg. in hospitals for rich (but older) patients it may be common to take chest X-rays in a sited position (s.a. not to discomfort the valuable patients...) whereas in poorer hospitals siting position would indicate some kind of a problem (i.e. the patient couldn't stand for whatever reason).

That's not to say that automatic image reading is worthless: radiologists are, perhaps, one of the most overbooked specialists in any hospital, and are getting even more overbooked because other specialists tend to be afraid to diagnose w/o imaging / are over-reliant on imaging. From talking to someone who worked as a clinical radiologist: most images are never red. So, if an automated system could identify images requiring human attention, that'd be already a huge leap.
Ultimately profits flow to a single entity. Taxing 1 levels down and stopping was clearly not the intent of my suggestion. If it’s under the control of Alphabet/ its profits go to Alphabet treat it as a single entity Alphabet.

The idea that subsidiaries, trusts, etc have any meaning whatsoever when collecting taxes is simply a loophole which can be closed at any time.
They might be aspirationally.

The implication is 'if it's good enough for a photographer/videographer, it will be excellent for me if I want to take photos and videos of my hobby/kids/travels'.

But professional photographers aren't giving up their DSLR's for an iPhone anytime soon.
Tax evasion is anti-competitive. If you illegally pay less taxes than your competition, then you have more resources available than your competitors.
Thought was the norm using capitalized for language and lower case for the tooling. So Nix/nix, like AWK/awk and Go/go.
I think I would add an exception for this too, because it crops up a lot.
13bn is not meaningless for Ireland – that'd fund several major infrastructure projects – stuff the Irish people missed out because of these illegal tax shenanigans.
Never underestimate the node community's willingness to ignore the existing tech stack and reinvent 50 year old tools. It's peak NIH.
They're still going to charge the same amount (or more). At best this will divert money from intelligent, hard working physicians into sv tech bros who dropped out of undergrad (while putting patient lives at higher risk).
Telling time, showing notifications, and tracking sleep is 99% of what I need the Watch to do, and Pebble could do that with a week-long battery life.
We must have different definitions of “being in touch”. Sending an email and going on vacation, then actively ignoring incoming messages isn’t being in touch. And I don’t blame the person from the Nix team who went on vacation, but not forwarding the researcher to anyone else is solely on the nix team. They responded to the message in the matrix channel which included the deadline so they were well aware of it. If they knew they wouldn’t be able to release the fix before the deadline, they could’ve (and should’ve) asked for an extension. Which they did not
would be nice if the people analyzing the data understood the very basics about auto leveling and a/b testing... maybe with tests like accepting only the more expensive or cheapest ride to see if it influencers anything
I've done web dev with various other frameworks: Django, React (front-end only - no SSR), Vue, CherryPy, and a few others. Blazor is the only technology that allows me to use 1 programming language outside of HTML / CSS. You have component UI libraries like React does, so you have to think less about hand crafting HTML and can focus on per component logic / UI much like when developing with React or any "SPA Framework" out there.
Huh, no discussion nearly an hour after posting. Either a time zone thing or a conspicuous silence.

I bought a bunch of the ones that have 2x lightning, USBC, usb-mini. Put them in my car and house etc. now my spouse has a new iPhone and we need 2x of the USBC, so I'll have to redo the whole setup!
You can change the cpu/ram module on the original reform, or order one with a different module.
Your past data shows you sell 100 apples every day, despite the cost. Then it shows that you may sell other 100 if the price is considered "low" by the clients or 30 if the price is "high".
Then you know how many are in stocks, from how many days, and how many are arriving.
And you fix the price accordingly
Seems you need to apply them about every month because they wear off so fast. And then you're looking at multiple $18 bottles per year...
I'm just thankful for the people that do upgrade to every new model, it keeps the used market alive for those of us that want a 2 year old phone for cheap.
It does, which is why this is more easily done by importing exact bits or using a single file
No, it just requires for the rule to exist and be used coherently.
The modern world is built on a happy coincidence that hackers found joy/fun in programming and also that sometimes that programming included useful things like file systems or OS's.

And, transferable tech. Things like large distributed video games, are difficult, and the tech built for 'fun game', can be transferred to industry.
Cassandra redesigns indexing, storage management for 5.0 release

I don't think this was used much outside of meta anyway.
Would the author prefer they stop doing stuff? If that was the case, I’m guessing the complaint would be the lack of new releases.

While a user might not think they need 4 mics, I’m guessing they would appreciate clear audio. One of the most common things I see on YouTube when it comes to people using iPhones is an external mic, audio is the weak spot when looking for a professional sounding video. The example of cutting out wind noise was pretty good, nobody wants wind noise in a video. If the new mic array can save some people from feeling like they need to go buy an external mic, that seems like a good thing.

That might not be enough to justify a new phone on its own, but with people upgrading every 3-5 years, the cumulative updates which stack during that time should make for a pretty decent upgrade. Each year people think the delta is small, so they forget that the delta across multiple phones can become larger.

The iPhone, and smartphones in general, are a mature product. When they came out, each years saw massive improvements. With the intense competition, they reached maturity relatively quickly, and now it’s a lot of fine tuning. Solving the little small problems can often be much more difficult than solving the big obvious problems.

I will agree with the author that Apple should probably not spend as much time on specs and avoid the jargon. Focus on what that tech enables for the user. That said, I could easily say “Yet another article on the iPhone upgrade not being enough, dear god.” It’s a pretty tired and old take at this point.

The posting timestamp is temporarily adjusted, such that people don't complain about a week day old submission being on the front page.

The comment timestamps are temporarily adjusted to be consistent with the adjusted posting times, such that readers aren't confused by the comments predating the apparent posting time.

The timestamps will revert back to their original values in a few days.

What I don't understand is why this went into the second chance pool if the original submission made it to the front page and got >100 points.
What works surprisingly often is setting language to en-UK instead. Apparently many sites consider en-US to be some default that they can safely ignore, but en-UK to be a deliberate choice. Nowadays I use that not just for the browser, but for my phone and computer too.
There was a pretty sharp drop before too.

“The most recent projections for the final cost of Metrolink set a maximum outlay of €12.25billion, excluding VAT, though the rail link is not expected to go live before the middle of the next decade at the earliest.”[1]

13bn would cover the cost of Dublin's first metro system, unlike most European capitals Dublin does not have a metro. This is what this ruling means for the Irish public. shame on the government putting corporate interests ahead of public finances.

My biggest peeve with iOS or iPadOS is that if you sync photos or SMS with your iPad, you will eventually run out of storage. I don't know why Apple doesn't do a "rolling" storage for these apps, it feels so broken. I'm never buying another iPad if they don't fix this, I'll pay their competitors instead who sanely allow you to decide which photos to download for offline viewing, and which ones to keep. I will always have way more storage on my phone than my tablet.

There will also be a time where my iCloud Photos storage will surpass the available physical storage Apple gives you for your phone, so I don't understand this weak design.

Worse is the Messages app, which insists on downloading every gif, photo and video I share to my iPad as well, as if I need them available for offline use all the time, no Apple, if I needed to see any of it, I would download them manually.

iOS and iPad OS need to be smarter about their Photos and Messaging apps, they're really dumb. What's the point of iCloud if it forces everything downstream when I'm not asking for it.

You seem confused. The article is about writing a file where it does matter, but the comment example, which is what we're talking about, only reads a file. If close fails after read, who gives a shit? What difference is it going to make? All your read operations are complete already. Close isn't going to trigger a time machine that goes back and time and undos the reads you've performed. It is entirely inconsequential.
It got much better once the release date rolled in, but it was something I remember discussed a lot at the time among those who did use NT.

Also, at the time NT was still somewhat limited in official settings to pretty much rare more expensive places and engineering systems, with typical business user keeping to Windows 98 on "client" and NT Server domain controllers or completely different vendors, at least outside big corporations with fat chequebooks. Active Directory started changing it a lot faster, the benefits wer great and 2000 having hotplug et al was great improvement, but it took until XP for the typical office computer to really run on NT in my experience.
You need extra money to save it.
Lightning does seem like the smarter mechanical design. Less to break on the phone side. Smaller overall. It's a shame it didn't become the general usb standard but I guess that's apple keeping it proprietary?
