Take all of this with a big grain of salt due to rosy retrospection, but I feel like a big appeal of Palm OS was that going online was an intentional activity (if possible at all; most of my handhelds had neither mobile data nor Wi-Fi).

As a result, it was completely distraction-free: I'd queue up news/articles (via Plucker), mail, and books for the day, HotSync in the morning/evening, and then that was it – no chance of any notification (other than pre-programmed local reminders/appointments) popping up and disrupting whatever I was doing.

Other than that, there was still more than enough to do ~forever: More Ebooks on a 64 MB MMC than I could reasonably read all summer, the top 100? 1000? Wikipedia articles, the CIA World Factbook as a PalmDoc, Space Trader... Ok, enough with the nostalgia :)

I really don't think it's necessarily "hard", it's just going to consume some time and planning. If Broadcom is actually banking on that, they're mistaken. I work for a very large multi billion dollar company and they want 3x our current costs. We told them to get fucked and we are moving. We didn't even try to negotiate, we essentially laughed at them. I got to be a fly on the wall for the call and it was hilarious.

I don't think "all CGI looks the same" has been any more true for games/movies/tv than "all [things] look the same" style-wise was before (consider sci-fi aesthetics by decade, say - how many Star Trek copycats, how many Alien copycats, etc). And obviously the limitations of practical effects are HUGE - Star Wars broke a lot of ground here, and yet looking at a movie from 5 years later, Wrath of Khan, we see very limited model movement and "action". Or compare TNG space action with even the primitive CGI of Babylon 5.

Wind Waker was one of the first obvious examples in the 3d-rendered-game world; the Spiderverse movies are probably the most widely-seen cultural example of breaking with existing styles. The "feathering" effect of some of the surfaces/fur and such in the commercials for The Wild Robot is another that I remember seen recently.

There's a lot of copy-catting, but not really in a "limits of the process of making CGI" way anymore.

>As already mentioned in this thread, Safari does allow ad blockers

Does it? Then why do all the iOS users complain about having to watch YouTube ads? Sounds like it doesn't allow good ad-blockers.

>And even if they didn’t, there’s an absolutely massive difference between not being able to block ads and being the company both selling the ads and the browser that is engineering away your privacy.

This is completely wrong. If (for the sake of argument) iOS definitely didn't allow ad-blocking, then that makes them worse than Google, and it does mean they are "actively working against ad-blockers". If they weren't working against them (in this scenario), they wouldn't disallow them.

>And Apple also allows you to install a different browser on iOS

No, it doesn't. It only allows re-skins of Safari.

>Google doesn’t get any gold stars for not preventing third party browsers on Android.

Yes it does. Let me know when I can side-load an open-source ad-blocking YouTube viewer app on iOS, or even just installing the browser of my choice (not a re-skin).

>Google has a conflict of interest between your privacy and their primary source of revenue.

Sure, but they also allow you freedom with Android devices, and that's something you'll never get with Apple.

> the claim you were implicitly defending was that Apple was collecting and selling private data themselves.

I never defended that particular claim. I only made my own tangential claims.

Hmmm, interesting that you give agency for 75 years of history to those in China, but not in India. Are you claiming there is some racial superiority of the Han over Hindu? Couldn't you also argue that the rise of debt based mercantilist growth in China and subversion of Maoist Communism was a devious western European plan? Is that due to some inherent Aryan superiority that makes them responsible for every modern condition, or is it that devious plans put in place 50 years ago by Henry Kissinger and Winston Churchill have just come to fruition?

Just asking questions.

You can rent a non-commercial license for $99 a year. Still sucks because it's the usual SaaS hostage situation.

Here's what that list of transparent textures looks like on a gradient background:

https://web.archive.org/web/20240912000631/https://jade-deni... (slower to load, but better to view on a big monitor.)

https://archive.is/tvcvt (faster to load, but not full width.)

I threw it together quickly. So some of the patterns may be a bit difficult to judge when seen using the size of the preview boxes in my grid. But some of them look surprisingly good on this particular gradient and preview size. Also, this little page with the gradient background is best viewed on desktop rather than mobile.

Unlike the original Transparent Textures website this page does not give you any tools to play around with background, and unlike the original site does not let you click the individual patterns to swap the background. That's intentional – I only wanted to quickly see what the patterns looked like on a gradient background. Not to step on the toes of the creator of the website.
That is correct, they currently have that right.

I am suggesting a scenario where a regulator decides that they no longer have that right because the regulator feels that the needs of the consumer outweigh the needs of the manufacturer.

This would be similar to how regulations around interoperability and accessibility where the regulator decides that imposing such obligations on developers leads to a better society.
I don't think a company should be raising funding at this level because it implies that at some eventual IPO the market cap will be $750B or more--no private investors are going in looking for less than 5x return. Honestly any valuation over, say, $50B should be in the public markets.

Absolutely, and I do just this a lot of the time (though admittedly not all the time). The problem is that the review comments have to be left in the web UI. I would be happy to use e-mail, but e-mail is not what my colleagues want, and it's not really necessarily the right tool (e.g., if e-mail and GH/GL have different retention policies at some $WORK, or if the rules at some $WORK demand use of GH/GL for code review comments.

Gerrit supports this workflow. Patchsets can form a "relation chain."

One common workflow is you have a change of, say, 3-4 patches. You get code reviewed on them all, updating each patch set according to the reviews. Later patch sets can't be submitted until the earlier ones are. You can have tooling telling people not to review the later patch sets in the chain until the earlier ones have passed code review.

The people who control the resources control the armed forces or paramilitary forces.

Plus, if there’s a popular revolt, they are usually motivated by religious, ethnic or ideological factors. Status quo is the interest of the big powers. That tends to bring direct or advisory intervention by western military forces.

I’d suggest spending a few minutes googling, you’ll learn alot.
Also, the world changes over time. Phone books do seem to have included a bit more info than it is currently prudent to share. It was before industrial-scale scamming.

Didn’t schools used to use social security numbers as student IDs. And then use them to post grades, or something like that? (I might be mixing up stories).
Lazy-loading is usually the default ORM setting, so you wouldn't pull in any extra tables by default. You can setup Eager-loading on a per-query basis (i.e I know I'll need it here) or just set up certain relationship to always eager-load, depending on your needs.

You've hit the tradeoff right on the nail. ORM-based code is dead-simple to write since everything just looks like an object. Anyone who knows the programming language can start querying the DB without really knowing anything about SQL. This lets you write the code quickly and in a domain thats really easy to reason about.

I've seen many times where an endpoint might really only require 1 SQL query but it turns into a handful because of the ORM. Very rarely does it matter though, because each query takes < 5 milliseconds and you barely notice the slowdown.

If you know your ORM library well then you can get the benefits of both worlds. Mature ORMs will give you a ton of control (including letting you write SQL directly) when you need, you just have to be ok with the learning curve.
More context:

> Pro-Palestinian advocates who shared the transcript from the WhatsApp group have defended the move as being in the public interest and rejected the suggestion it was doxxing. They argue personal details beyond names were largely redacted.

(From [1].)

The immediate question is: Ok, what information was in those transcripts? Presumably it was something that would have supported the Palestinian cause, or else the activists wouldn't have released it. So what was it?

Those "targeted" would not have reacted so strongly if the contents had not, in fact, made them look very bad.

So we can make a decent guess about what the transcripts contained. To be specific, we can infer that the chat probably contained a lot of dehumanizing rhetoric about Palestinians coming from powerful Australians.

In fact, after looking around a little more, this appears to be part of a larger back-and-forth. It looks like there was a campaign, by a group of lawyers, to get fired a number of prominent people who had expressed pro-Palestinian views (to make an example of them, we must assume), e.g., Antoinette Lattouf of the ABC (she was indeed fired). If I'm understanding correctly, this document release came from the pro-Palestinian side, to show the workings of this group.

Some other sources like Matt Chun appear to be firing broadsides from the pro-Palestinian direction [2]. His sub stack is a little too long on left-cant and a little short on content, but there is some information there.

I am left unsure as to what exactly is going on between these various factions in Australia, but this gives some idea.

The other half of it that the sqlite page doesn't mention is that sqlite lacks query engine optimizations which would make one large query faster than many smaller queries. If you had a hypothetical in-process version of postgres which didn't have any IPC or networking overhead you'd still see benefits from performing fewer larger queries when using it because the query planner adds some overhead to small queries but makes complex queries faster.
Editorializing is defined (by one dictionary) as: “making comments or expressing opinions rather than just reporting the facts”.

By this definition, changing the title to “Austrialian Federal government…” doesn’t run afoul of the policy because there is not opinion involved. It’s just clarifying which federal government is the subject.
That's a completely different fight from what the DMA targets though. Referring to this as an Android/Google Play thing is a red herring here, this is just bog standard DRM, which just so happens to be made by Google (and maybe gets some special hardware support; so, if anything, DMA here would be an argument for allowing other app suppliers to be able to make equivalent DRM!).

Revanced gives the app a new app ID (app.revanced.android.youtube) and resigns it, so Google cannot for example just check that apps using the youtube app id have a valid MD5.
If locking the user's data was the goal, Google would many a non-negative amount of effort locking the user's data from malicious apps.

Instead, they work on mixing the data so much users can't tell what is being accessed, blocking data-redacting apps, and making sure term changes are invisible.
>This seems historic. One of the core differentiators between iOS and Android that worked in Android's favor is now destroyed.

No, it isn't. AFAICT, this "feature" only prevents you from sideloading apps that don't want to be side-loaded. It's not going to prevent you from installing your favorite open-source apps from Fdroid or APKs.

>For example, there are some medical apps that improve people's health outcomes... Google does not seem to want them on the Play Store.

Then it would be very, very stupid for these apps to add this anti-side-loading feature, wouldn't it?

Google isn't the one preventing side-loading, it's the individual apps (and their makers) themselves.
you need to sort it in order to uniq it, because uniq only removes duplicate consecutive lines.
I know the guidelines ask not to modify the title. But just fyi editorializing is when you go beyond merely adding information:

editorialize
verb
ed· i· to· ri· al· ize ˌe-də-ˈtȯr-ē-ə-ˌlīz
editorialized; editorializing
Synonyms of editorialize
intransitive verb
1
: to express an opinion in the form of an editorial
2
: to introduce opinion into the reporting of facts
3
: to express an opinion (as on a controversial issue)

It’s somewhat contradictory for the guidelines to ask for no modifications then tell people not to editorialize. Those are two very different guidelines, separated by a semicolon as though they are closely related.

(To editorialize for a moment, I believe this is what happens when a STEM organization led by people fundamentally hostile to the press gets into the business of editing news, whose nuances they are basically just dismissive of. This isn’t directed at you but at the guidelines.)

With traditional property, the vendor never had this right. I could buy a hammer and use it hammer in nails or use it to break windows and the hammer manufacturer couldn't stop me. It was one thing when intellectual property was entertainment and media but now that it's come to encompass tools needed to interact with the world users need to have something more akin to traditional consumer rights for apps they "own".

I think to add to your point I don’t think a lot of recent YC founders have real world experience or have minimal real world experience outside of school. I mean what’s the point of getting a job when you can go from school to directly starting a startup especially when offered a significant amount of upfront capital for really taking on no risk other than getting accepted and a chunk of equity.

Unfortunately, this has a negative consequence of people who may think studying engineering at a top tier university with late nights and weekends are how you create a functional work environment.
> One of the core differentiators between iOS and Android that worked in Android's favor is now destroyed.

This is a bit hyperbolic—the core differentiator provided by sideloading is that you don't have to distribute through Google. That's still very much intact. What's changed is that apps can opt themselves out of being sideloaded.

F-Droid and the FOSS ecosystem in general are entirely unaffected.

"malicious" is the key word here. It's a common distinction used in many Australian laws meaning if you are prosecuted they need to build a case that you were not doing so for a legitimate useful reason like a phone book and knew it would cause harm. A unsurprisingly difficult task. This also gives you a fairly robust method of defence against any frivolous prosecution.
> This seems historic. One of the core differentiators between iOS and Android that worked in Android's favor is now destroyed.

How so? You are still able to sideload apps. The difference is that an app can detect if it has been sideloaded, and the app developer can decide how to respond to that. The decision to use that is on the developer and the user has the choice to move to other apps or succumb to using the Play Store in those cases.

If anything, the article suggests that the actual erosion came about a year ago with other integrity check features, such as helping the developer figure out whether the app is being used on a rooted phone. Or with the increased difficulty in using customized versions of Android over the years.
