Oh, I am contradicting myself.

First, I said try to build a strong online presence so that you have a large active following base from which you'll find an audience for your book. You try to hide behind "large active following base" is the key here, and it's almost impossible to find an audience otherwise.

Then, I said follow the path of great writers, you again hide behind "I only mentioned five names, and they all span across five centuries which I can't study or research how they became great writers". Should I write here the names of every great writer in history or the names of Mark Manson, James Clear, Tim Ferriss et al. of this era.

You brought up your music analogy (I don't know where you found it) and who said anything about what is easy? You said, I didn't use that word anywhere in our conversation.

I presented two keys to find an audience, and you came up with a third key by saying I'm contradicting myself.

If 3 million books are published in the US every year (over 8k per day), what does that have anything to do with me or you? Next time, please first digest what others are trying to convey, then respond (if necessary).

You can make a disaster in any framework. SwiftUI is a mess, for example, and slow.

React Native took a while to mature, but with the right tooling you can ship amazing UX now.

I don’t doubt there’s a ton of crap out there.

But you’re wrong if you think you can’t make seriously great stuff with it. It’s matured quite a lot.

And the React programming model is untouched, hot reloading and dev tools far ahead, and code share is worth it with something like Tamagui that actually optimizes to each platform. If I never had to touch an ObservableObject again that would be great.
There are many good universities in all sorts of places.

I like the exam-only entry. Here in Sweden that was why I got to go where I went. The alternative is a bunch of hoop-jumping which, at least for me, would feel oppressive.

Most of laws, at leas where I live, are amended. 'Never talk about it again' seems bit naive to me. If good faith have not helped with trackers then ban them outright.
Hmm. I have a couple of politic fiction questions. Lets would imagine that somebody takes a flight with a pager or a second-hand bought phone.

1) How could be sure that there is not a small amount of explosive hidden in their devices or batteries?.

Most devices are sealed. Would the phone smell like something in particular? Would be detected by dogs or x-rays? (I assume that a tiny amount of explosive can be put inside a battery or anything, enough to start a chain reaction with the whole battery while remains hidden to x-rays).

2) What would be the legal path on the defense of this person? just "I didn't knew" does not seem very convincing in a trial. If somebody manipulates a phone are the data stored somewhere?
Oh that was great. In no small part because Burgess's slang is rooted in real etymology so it's not entirely a foreign language so much as creative use of our own. Snowcrash is similar in this respect.
I don't think they can objectively measure the fair value for their labour. I think I trust the Biden administration way more on this, and they have made it clear that the economic situation of every single American is better today than it has ever been in the past for any country in the world. That to me seems significantly more objective.
You could build a planet-sized interferometric array without having to obtain land in different countries. If the orbit's much bigger than the planet, you can have most of the antennae always be usable instead of half on the wrong side. You can pick up wavelengths blocked by the atmosphere. You can build multi-kilometer single dishes out of mylar or steel cable, without gravity and air currents bending them. You can use it to focus sunlight onto surface locations, but probably shouldn't.
> Anyone who got resold / loaned those devices

Aren't the pagers specifically for transmitting Hezbollah instructions / orders?

Why would a Hezbollah member sell/loan such a device to a non-Hezbollah member?
Show HN: Chimed – wind chimes in your Linux environments
Have you ever played a game or watched a TV show/movie where certain actions like button presses or other events produced different sounds? This is usually done for audience's benefit (more action on screen) or in a game, to enforce the game loop. I wondered if sound effects could be useful in a work environment, in my case `vim`, to influence my brain in a similar way a game loop does things, and make working more "interesting" than procrastination. So I wrote 'chimed', a Python daemon that lets me play sounds on command and added `autocmd` options in `vim` to play sounds when entering/leaving Insert mode or command line, adding text, yanking, etc.

The idea is simple - load small `.wav` files into memory to make latency as small as possible and play them when certain events occur on inputs (and learn how daemons work in Python). Currently the only input is a FIFO, daemon expects specific configurable strings and plays a set of sounds found on https://freesound.org/. This could be expanded in the future to inputs over UDP or TCP, I had also an idea to create a set of process threads which could listen for certain interrupts and play a specific sound, like a set of "bells" in a "wind chime", which could be activated randomly. I'm sure many more ideas could be implemented later.

You can find `chimed` on GitHub, it's also available on PyPI as `chimed`.[1] I tested the installation using `pipx` in a clean Debian Bookworm environment, but if there are issues with installation please let me know in the comments. To integrate it with `vim` you can use an example configuration file [2]. See the README.md file for more details.

I can’t see without my glasses so I didn’t try. But I have a huge myopia, not perfectly corrected astigmatism (like, it’s fine but glasses can’t correct it perfectly) and on top of that, I have amblyopia (which you can approximate by : my brain learned to use only one eye).

And I do find Atkinson hyperlegible more … legible. Not life changing since my vision is still ok and I’m still young.

And I find it interesting because with my mix of conditions, my issues aren’t seeing clearly (I see clearly with my glasses) but eye strain. I can have a day where I see clearly in the morning and blurry at night. Anything that reduces this strain changes my life. And, maybe it’s placebo, but I feel like this font helps.

> Before the pandemic, everyone was working in-office 5 days a week. [...] Why is it so controversial [...]?

Because it is a lie. Teams managed themselves and trusted their members.

People who were virtual employees, or whose team was in a different location than theirs, have been let go at different points of the layoffs/RTO mandates, when they existed before the pandemic.

This is a regression to a point that never existed in Amazon's history.
Ah words hardly mean anything these days. It very clearly is terrorism but you won't ever hear any politician in the west calling it that.

It's surprising that Mossad arranged a massive destruction of communication technology without it being the precursor to a major military operation. Very curious why they chose this moment to execute an operation they clearly had ready to go for months.

It's not completely "legacy-free", nor is it purely capability-oriented, but I'm writing a QNX-like OS (https://gitlab.com/uxrt/uxrt-toplevel) based on a kernel forked from seL4 with a preference for servers written in safer languages. Even though it is going to be fairly Unix-like it will diverge from conventional Unix in a number of ways and either discard or demote quite a few legacy Unix features. For example, there will be no support for reversion to the traditional Unix security model in the core OS, with the base VFS implementing a security model based on a mix of per-process ACLs and capability transfers, and on top of that there will be a role-based access control model (there will be a fakeroot-type compatibility layer that simulates traditional Unix security within an environment constrained by the native security model). I don't think there's a good way to make a purely capability-oriented general-purpose OS since as soon as you have a way to look up files by human-readable names instead of capabilities your OS is no longer purely capability-oriented.

IMO most of the issues with typical Unix-like OSes are more due to specific outdated architectural features rather than the Unix API or shell environment. A lot of what could be done with a completely new OS could instead be done by designing a Unix-like OS for extensibility by reducing the core API down to a small set of file calls that act as an IPC transport layer and name service and then building everything on top of that, building object-oriented wrapper libraries on top of the filesystem, and reimplementing the traditional Unix APIs outside the core filesystem ones on top of the newer APIs. Existing applications could be ported to such a system incrementally rather than having to do everything all at once or relegate them to some kind of limited "penalty box" compatibility layer (and any binary compatibility layer for Linux or other conventional Unices would integrate better into such a system than into something completely new).
> The wonderful American import of "guilt-fuelled work culture" where how hard you work direcrly correlates with your worth as a person.

This has its roots in Calvinism though, not billionaires. And once you touch things related to faith, you are out of the rational world, while simultaneously touching the egregore of a nation.

These two aspects alone mean that such issues are very difficult to change, with the current unrest and ever increasing political overbidding suggesting that the only catharsis will come from societal collapse, as there seems to be absolutely no room to discuss anything remotely linked to the identity of the nation or its citizens.

>Having a big single exam that determines one's life outcome is bad on principle, but, it removes corruption, and is the most transparent method, ever.

Couldn't we have multiple big exams and do some averaging? Maybe even take the median to discard outliers? This would keep the meritocratic fairness aspect and take the pressure from performing in one single exam determining your fate in life.

I was more thinking of smaller teams or individual developers that are Apple only.

If you have a bigger team, then it doesn't matter as much, because you have different people who do the iOS app, people who do the website, people who do the back end etc.

Swift on the server doesn't have to go mainstream to be useful. If you just need some basic web service that syncs highscores or verifies in-app purchases then it would be neat if you could write that in the same language as the app itself.
> US manufacturing is about to be reinvigorated, and we in the US are going to be building our own future both for chips and for energy security.

Don't count on it. For every high-end chip you need hundreds of commodity parts to support them, and nobody is investing in US factories to make $0.001 capacitors or $0.10 connectors. You just can't compete with cheap Chinese labor, so the US supply lines will never be able to equal a city like Shenzhen.

Unless the US is willing to get rid of capitalism and switch to a plan economy, most of those expensive high-end chips will just be shipped to Asia for assembly. So much for building your own future.

Why would you use 80s technology that allows you to circumvent Israeli tracking, and get that from Hezbollah if you're not in cahoots with them? People in Lebanon can afford smart phones.

With the people next to the blast radius you have a point, but when targeting guerilla fighters that blend in with civillian populace it's hard to not inadvertantly target innocents too. But a small explosive device that is used by enemy soldiers and kept close to their bodies is the best way to avoid innocent casualties.

Also, Hezbollah hiding between innocents doesn't mean Israel shouldn't defend themselves. If you hide behind civillians you're the one to blame for casualties, not the party that defends against you
AI chatbot shows promise in talking people out of conspiracy theories
You could listen to testimony from those within the IDF:

"the IDF judged it permissible to kill more than 100 civilians in attacks on a top-ranking Hamas officials" ... "We’ve killed people with collateral damage in the high double digits, if not low triple digits" ... "they were authorised to kill up to “20 uninvolved civilians” for a single operative, regardless of their rank, military importance, or age" ... "It’s much easier to bomb a family’s home"

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/03/israel-gaza-ai...

When looking at this we have assess both the theoretical rules of combat and the actual implementation of those and compare them to an ally nation in other active combat zones like the US, UK, NATO forces in various places. No army is good at being ethical, foir want of a better word, but the Israelli government and the IDF seem to fail much more at holding to what most people would consider acceptable standards of behaviour.

I mean, I can always use pause and hope that my podcast player will remember where I stopped to be able to continue from that point later on. That's true. But why did I need to think about it in the first place? By running 4 episodes back to back I actually binge-played it without even realising. And, for me personally, no matter how good a show is (from Futurama to Black Mirror), once they start running consecutively, I start recognizing patterns and repetitions and it makes it feel stale a bit. Maybe I'm just old school where TV/Radio broadcast would force me to wait for the next episode, for at least 24 hours (or longer), which would make it feel fresh and make me really looking forward to continue.

Few months ago I watched Star Trek Picard season 3, and I remembered this principle and I paced it so I would watch one episode daily and I enjoyed it tremendously.

It's not that I didn't enjoy 29 minutes of episode 1 of The Multiverse Employee Handbook - I did. But, when the first 7 minute episode ended, I was thinking to myself "wow, this is great!", and I was expecting the podcast playback to stop leaving me wanting to look for more. But it kept going, and, 22 minutes later I was thinking " ah, cool, will definitely continue tomorrow". The wow factor was gone. That's like me giving you a delicious slice of cake, and, as you are still full of impressions about how good it was, I shove three more slices onto your plate. :) Now you're feeling like you're about to explode.

Anyway, looking forward to enjoying more episodes. Keep up the good work!
Ah, I understand - this is happening as part of Apples' crusade to rid the world of popup menus. Thanks for the details - I encounter little fiddly issues like this with my own apps, so its good context.

Israel has had a “no comment” policy for many years. Why? I can think of a few reasons. One is that some operations, if acknowledged by Israel, would trigger a proportionate response by the target, but if not acknowledged would allow the target to save face by downplaying what happened, if neither side actually wants war.

That probably doesn’t apply to this case, but has occurred in the past. And no-comment policies are more effective when applied unconditionally.
> You don't have long texts on slides, and everything is very distinct.

Writing as I do from inside an organisation where the standard seems to be to communicate through meetings where someone reads out the text on a powerpoint slide, I can say that this is nothing if not optimistic.

so there's no bonding at work? is it because, those who do understand and could empthatize are incentivized to instead show no mercy and try to push out the newcomers? how come managers are not "entourage building"?

that "someone" is an enemy combatant currently fighting a war

if they were wearing a uniform would you stand next to a soldier during an ongoing war?

if you were a soldier would you hide in a group of civilians?

there's a lot of blame to go around and Israel is far from clean, but the Hezbollah members are clearly also putting people in harms way by using them as a shield against attacks like this

Unfortunately, no.

I belive it is first a conflict of policy: the USER needs to have more privileges than SYSTEM in order to suspend execution of all (including system's) processes. WinNT is a multi-user OS. Nobody would allow the user to DDoS the system, even when that user has direct access to the reset button.

A second problem is that WinNT probably can't even open the Task Manager if some system processes are suspended (csrss?, lsass?).

It probably works in Linux console. Sysvinit has two keyboard signals (CTRL-ALT-DEL and CTRL-UP, I think), that can run any command, exec'd directly by init with root privileges, and both are configurable in inittab. It also has the SysRq.

Cool! My personal preference is Knuth-style line-breaks on binary operators and pipes, which means breaking before the operator/pipe symbol.

foo -a -b \
| bar -c -d -e \

instead of

foo -a -b | \
bar -c -d -e | \
baz -e -f

This doesn't seem to be an option, but could be easy to implement.

Naturally the close quarters will results in multiple people being harmed. The question is more about the physics and if the explosives has enough penetrating power to go through the walls of the plane.

The bigger risk to the plane (and passengers) would likely be if the person carrying the explosive was working in the airport and the explosion occurred during a critical moment, like when a pilot is taxiing.
