Basically in the US, with the Presidential election, you have 2 choices: one candidate who's not going to do anything useful at all, and instead will do a bunch of highly counterproductive stuff (possibly disastrous, even), and another candidate who won't do anything disastrous, probably won't do much that's counterproductive, and maybe if you're really lucky will get something that's somewhat useful passed. Great choices, huh? But obviously one is better than the other.
I don’t know what world you live in, but I’ve never worked in an organization where more than 1% of the developers would go through all that extra work for every PR.

I'm hopeful that we're at that point right now, I think we're mostly waiting for the complexity on the software side to sort itself out.

The vast majority of the market isn't in flagship phones, and even in those the last few generations of flagship features have been mostly based around software anyway.

I'm guessing we're one or two more big nudges away (i.e. - EU regulation/gigantic privacy kerfuffle/Google breakup) from a standard open-source phone software stack being a viable standalone business model almost by necessity. App stores currently take something around 30%? Maybe in the future you'll pay $25 up front for the phone software, and this open source software stack will take a 15% cut from the developer side instead.

Or maybe I'm just dreaming.
What is OpenCAD? Do you mean OpenSCAD? Or FreeCAD?
Oracle will use three nuclear reactors to power 1-gigawatt AI data center
Sure, I don't see how FETs having a common failure mode of passively conducting is exceptional though? You've got to design (and test) for likely failure modes. Like even if you use a linear regular, you should be thinking about what happens when there is a short downstream.

The problem with fires isn't the type of circuit per se, but rather that anything connected to the mains can unleash a significant amount of power. And that designing/building for safety increases cost, for additional components or even things like larger PCB area for creepage. We basically take a lot of the work that goes into electrical safety for granted.

The first episode of the show is a remake of the original movie, with a different ending in order to springboard the further episodes. While I agree the movie is worth watching, you don't really need to watch it to get the context for the series.

But even if people unintentionally activate this, should this be a reason to prohibit Google from offering this? Can you not tell the app developers and they can decide to deactivate it if they want and care to so? I think I would really have to see how you enable or disable this and what other implications this has in order to judge if it seems appropriate.

EDIT: I did a quick search and to me it looks like you have to make an API call and then look at the response and decide what to do. Is there some ready-made component that you can use without getting to see the details? Otherwise it seems that you have to check appLicensingVerdict and decide to refuse to run if this comes back as
UNLICENSED and I do not see how you could do this by accident. Then again, that does not sound like selected partners, that sounds like everyone can do this, so maybe I was looking at the wrong thing.
This. If you’re looking for something portable, DuckDB is hard to beat. It’s pretty much the SQLite for analytics.

I’ve had good experience with ClickHouse, too, but it feels a bit more like Postgres rather than SQLite in terms of portability.
Do you have a recommendation for a starting point to learn about this? I went to the magisk github and it seems to assume that you already know what it is and why you should want it.

There's a portion of Apple fanbase that believes that Android is just a cheaper and shittier version of an iPhone, and nothing more. Google has been trying their hardest with every version to prove them right, by taking away more and more of the user choice and flexibility that Android had in its favour.

At this rate, I might just end up buying my first ever Apple device for my next phone.
> Except that while Apple has generally great marketing, they also have generally great products.

I disagree, and presumably so do the people you're referring to. Apple products are nothing special. They are competently made, but so are lots of brands which charge you a lot less. It really is all about marketing with Apple.
> Household debt is at an all time high

That's because people have more money than ever so they're using credit cards more. It's also partly due to inflation. Household debt-to-income ratios are not high.

> evictions and utility disconnections are skyrocketing

I don't believe this is true.

> Hunger in the US is soaring too.

This is true, but it's because the extended child tax credit from 2020 expired - so we can fix it anytime we want.
No problem! Yeah, I think HN's restrictive comment-deletion policy isn't great.

Anyway, I'm not sure how much potential for abuse there is here. I don't see anything too horribly wrong with app makers being able to restrict their app to Play Store installation (though I think it's annoying, and sucks for e.g. GrapheneOS users). I'm not really sure why app makers would want to do this anyway, but I guess they have their (dumb IMO) reasons.

But to be abused, that probably means Google, or the handset maker, using the feature to prevent any apps from being sideloaded or installed from app stores they don't like (like Fdroid). That would be terrible for sure, but I don't really see how this particular technology would allow that. I mean, if Google wanted to prevent sideloading, it seems like it would be relatively trivial for them; why would they need something like this? Installing from APK is built into the system (you can do it with "adb"), and could just as easily be removed or restricted. Same for the handset makers: they don't have to distribute Android as-is, and usually don't. It seems they could easily disable apk-loading and adb in general.
That’s cool, I’ve never used plasmo! I rolled my own build step with React/Vite and TypeScript
Yeah but Tcl... is it worth it?

Also the tkdocs book is one of the books I reviewed, 3rd edition. The only mention of bindtags is a reference to the tkdocs website, which only documents the four default tags but not much else, which in turn references the Tk manual, which is hard to read as I don't understand Tcl.
> client browsers have no "idea" of subdomains, either.

They have. That's why PSL list exists. It applies to all CSP rules.

It's the passsword wallet thing. It uses different rules and have no standards
I would love to have something like MS Access but for web apps. I’ve tried various website builder products but nothing seems as straightforward as Access was.
Spending on food is rising in real terms (that means counting for inflation), so people are actually buying more food, mostly because they're going to restaurants and using DoorDash more.

Chrome exists to counter the previous platform browser monopoly from Microsoft, which was holding back the web from being a viable application platform. It was never been about surveillance and doesn't do a very good job of surveillance if that were the goal.
I nominate "ultrix" as the most ironic name ever for a piece of software. Not only was it not the last, it turned out to be one of the first!
I've read the entire harry potter series aloud to my kids. I don't think I have spoken so many words in my life. My throat would be raw after long chapters.
There was a time in the 1990s when a product was sold that was intended to cure that problem: A microwave light bulb.

And by "microwave light bulb" I don't mean the 25-Watt appliance bulb that is buried inside of your Moulinex, but a light bulb that was meant to be placed in the corner of the microwave oven.

Microwave on? Light bulb turns some of that RF energy into light energy, and illuminates the interior. Microwave off? Light goes dark.

I couldn't find any reference to them having existed when I last looked a few years ago, and I don't have time to look again right now, but it was a thing that was advertised on TV and sold on J-hooks in big grocery stores. It definitely existed. (It may have even been something that my mother bought once, but that concept is less clear in the ol' memory hole.)
Secure Boot can do the "ROM" scenario on conventional read-write media as long as your OS is capable of maintaining a chain of trust and enforce code signature checks before execution. The media is technically writable, but any writes would break said chain of trust on subsequent loads and so the malicious code would fail to execute.

If interacting with a remote system, a TPM can also be used to achieve the same (though if you have TPM you'd generally always have secure boot) - in this case, your OS extends TPM PCRs with the hashes of all the components in its chain of trust, and the remote system uses remote attestation to prove that you indeed booted & executed the expected code before granting you an access token which is never persisted.

In the second case, malicious code would still run but would be unable to pass that authentication step and thu be unable to communicate with the remote system. This is suitable if the machine itself is stateless and not sensitive per-se, and the only security requirement is ensuring the remote system is only accessed by trusted software.
I tried that but couldn’t make it work on my M1 MacBook. Not sure why.
Can't agree entirely. It's negligent, sure, but the negligent part wasn't letting it expire.

The negligent part was not holding the domain with an error result for 10 years and respond to every request with an email telling them to stop using that domain. And I say 10 years because 10 years of having a broken system is already way too long to not go addressing, no matter how sluggish the service underneath.

You can not be expected to cover your own ass for OTHER people's fuckups into perpetuity. Every system issuing an whois to a supposed dead domain should be considered the actual responsible party for this.
Ex-CIA Officer Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison for Espionage on Behalf of China
The observer has very little to do with establishing intent.

I even looked up Australia's definition to make sure it was the same as everyone else's: https://www.ag.gov.au/crime/publications/commonwealth-crimin...

(it's the same)

The only reason I used "very little" is because it is possible for an observer to witness the subject yelling "I intend to kill you!!!!" at the top of their lungs and in that case the observer could be useful at establishing intent.
Edited title slightly. Original: “Former CIA Officer Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison for Conspiracy to Commit Espionage”
1 line of 80col text per card is pretty awful though, and then you bring back all the horrors of 60s card sequencing but for bigger files.

Some kind of 'barcode' encoding, with heavy error correction, would probably be better. I've seen attempts that claim 500kB per side using a largely unmodified QR code system, but I suspect better could be achieved - the method of scanning is probably going to be the bottleneck anyway.
I have lived the story from "Eat A Peach" at the end of the article.

My family were regulars at a local Chinese restaurant for years.

One of the dishes we usually ordered was Peking Duck.

First, the waiter brought out the cooked duck on a trolley and carved up the duck, arranging the cut pieces of duck meat on a dish. The duck meat, pancakes/tortillas, sauce, and condiments were placed on the table.

At this point, the duck carcass was taken back to the kitchen to be prepared for the second dish - this restaurant just carved up the duck carcass and brought out the cut up duck carcass as a second dish.

My family were never that interested in the remaining pieces of duck since there was little meat on them.

Instead, my dad would ask the waiter to be given the duck carcass to take home so my dad could prepare the remaining duck meat his way (call him old school).

One time, after the Peking duck was presented and my dad had been given the duck carcass for later enjoyment, another waiter came out holding a dish filled with cut up pieces of duck.

But OUR duck that we ordered was in a bag near my dad.

The waiter claimed that the duck dish was for our table.

So where had the duck for the dish come from?
> If we pick on the common example of red-green colorblindness (of which there are many types; to have something concrete to work with, let's say all cones function at "normal" intensity, but the spectrum for the red cone has been shifted near to what the green cone picks up), what kinds of mappings are you able to do?

You could animate it by changing the mapping over time; then colorblind people would see that two identical colors are changing differently.

You could also try replacing colors with a pattern but it wouldn't work that well.
MongoDB: The Definitive Guide Powerful and Scalable Data Storage (3rd Edition)
I could do it with less than 34 bits.
Could the whole thing be open sourced and moved to Github pages so it can be forked and maintained? This is an amazing resource on par with the defunct Webtreats.etc that was never properly archived as far as I know outside of Wayback(Kinda).

I could even see this whole thing just being packaged into finished projects, to allow user or admin-selectable themes, especially with the new CSS features.

Assuming the CC-BY requirements are met using just the data that's available, this still has a lot of potential.
I have tp link Omada with the controller running in a container on my synology nas, works great. Got it for the fast handoff between APs, I can wander around the yard on teams calls
There's no block list or allow list; the app itself can detect (on startup) if it's been sideloaded, and display an error if they way.
> A successful business is one that makes profits, not one that makes high quality goods.

This attitude is the root of the problem with business culture in America today. A business needs to be profitable and make good quality stuff to be truly successful.
Those places can be reasonably healthy depending what you pick; a burger is low in fiber but otherwise it's actually pretty balanced. Soda and fries are what's bad.
> Both in terms of the cost of components and the labor needed to figure out each vehicle's specific conversion, this seems expensive, slow, and perhaps is a source of quality/safety concerns.

We are speaking about countries where that sort of labor costs between $0.5 to $3 per hour. The parts used aren't factory-new and the cost of labor is minuscule in comparison to the price of the vehicle.

There is no money for safety. You make do with what you have.
You don't need to turn off synchronous mode, but you can set it to NORMAL, which will only fsync when compacting the WAL file.

Another great pattern for batch writes is to use a system like Nagle's algorithm - push stuff into a queue, and insert from the queue in batches.
So your justification for unions being bad is “capitalism works for some people”? So does a monarchy. So does fascism. I’m not even arguing against capitalism here - just for more worker power in a capitalist system.
Unbelievable, my finger is tired from scrolling I would have to send it to my laptop to continue, how come people are not revolting against that!??
I cooked for a family in part with a consumer-grade, Walmart-sourced Panasonic inverter microwave oven for a dozen years until circumstances made me get rid of (donate) it.

No issues ever. It was reliable, had some useful programming options (that nobody ever used but me, but it had them), and it did a good job of microwaving food in a consistent and predictable manner.

(But that's not an indication that inverters are reliable, or that consumer is the same as professional, or that Panasonic is good, or of anything else really other than that anecdotes are anecdotes.)
I'm wondering how would it perform if we can compile https://pglite.dev/ as a native library and use it as an in-process Postgres... I know Node folks already use it as a Wasm module, so it shouldn’t be too tricky?
Currently trying to read^W skim Pynchon’s buddy Farina to get an 1960s inside outsider’s perspective on that..

>the second kind is capable of indefinite extension

Rather i took the hint from here. But his third class does seem to have some overlap with [my intended] type IIIs. E.g. (esp?) technicals from the cadet branches who feel (attribute guilt? stereotype threat?) the need to do some legacy-laundering..

(Compare with the social origins of SPJ)

Stronger connection to founder mode is that YC is in their own words (having a hard time locating exact quote) modelled after Harvard. So while the coarse-grained view from the POV of hoi polloi does look like your music video, our “local deities” were inside-outsiders, once upon a time in New England (as well as Ithacan transplants, for a couple of them)
I used to find this sort of thing appealing. Then I realized it does nothing to even try to fix anything, and in fact likely does more harm than good.
You should try Ondsel fork of FreeCad.
I'm pretty conflicted answering this. On one hand reporting is miserable; on the other hand it's virtually impossible to exclude bias in hiring, especially if the hiring requires skills that people pay to learn.

q 'write a an article called "Why Copilot is Making Programmers Worse at Programming"'

1. Introduction: In recent years, the use of Copilot has become increasingly popular among programmers. While Copilot can be useful in certain situations, it is also making programmers worse at programming in several ways.

2. Lack of critical thinking skills: When using Copilot, programmers may rely too heavily on the tool to generate code for them. This can lead to a lack of critical thinking skills and an inability to solve problems independently.

3. Overreliance on automation: Copilot is designed to automate certain tasks in programming, which can lead to an overreliance on automation. While this can be helpful in some cases, it can also make programmers less able to think creatively and outside the box.

4. Dependence on a single tool: Copilot is just one tool among many that programmers use to write code. By becoming too dependent on a single tool, programmers may be less well-rounded in their skills and less able to adapt to different programming environments.

5. Lack of creativity: When using Copilot, programmers may not have the opportunity to be creative with their code. This can lead to a lack of originality and an inability to come up with innovative solutions to problems.

6. Inability to learn from mistakes: With Copilot, programmers may not have to deal with as many errors in their code. However, this can also make it harder for them to learn from their mistakes and improve their programming skills.

7. Lack of attention to detail: When using Copilot, programmers may be more likely to overlook small details in their code. This can lead to bugs and other issues that could have been caught with a little more attention to detail.

8. Conclusion: While Copilot can be useful in certain situations, it is also making programmers worse at programming in several ways. By becoming too dependent on the tool and not developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills, programmers may be less well-equipped to handle more complex programming tasks. It is important for programmers to use Copilot as a supplement to their existing skills rather than a replacement for them.

I don't think I'd want to trust tape for more than a decade or two though, as we've seen with audio tapes, iron separation from the substrate becomes an issue a lot sooner than we'd like.

Tape also has a problem shared with hard disks - to achieve high density we've rapidly hit a stage where the technology is too complex to enable data archeology at some point in the future; using 90s era complexity hard drives is about where the archeological limit is. LTO-1 may even be beyond that complexity compared to DLT, QIC or even Data8 (helical scan may be too much of a spanner in the works)

Modern polymers may make microfiche/microfilm a longer term solution than it has been in the past with acetate film/slides, but I'm not sure how much research has been done into which polymers might be best.

For longer than a century, our best experience is, thus far, with clay and paper (assuming good quality acid-free paper, rather than cheap modern consumer paper).
retail investors may be not as efficient as private professional investors, but public markets allow retail investors to participate in wealth creation.
