The missus and I would benefit from this -- I even got part way into my own Flutter app of similar functionality: she does shift work and I have to travel a lot. We're often not at home at the same time (or one of us is sleeping).

Things we'd get value from:

1. Has the dog been fed? (am, pm)

2. had his meds?

3. Should I expect to walk him in an hour? I may be lazy, but it's cruel to not get at least one walk a day.

3b. Long term, are we splitting the effort well? does one person walk him WAY more?

4. Did he not poop on two consecutive walks? do I need to watch out for illness?

"Oh, just communicate more, have you ever thought of that? Be better spouses" -- this is* us communicating, to take the best care of our dog :)

*he averages 2x 1.5hours per day + 2x 30min training sessions.

The Irony of AWS Being Intel's Latest Savior
Playwright has screenshot comparison built in, including screenshotting a single element, blanking specific elements, and comparing the textual aspects of elements without a visual comparison. You can even apply a specific stylesheet for comparisons.

Everything I can see in this demo can be done with Playwright on its own or with some very basic infrastructure e.g. from Azure to run the tests (automations). I can't see what it is adding. Is it doing some bot-detection countermeasures?

Checking if the page behaviour has changed is pretty easy in Playwright because its primary purpose is testing, so just write some tests to assert the behaviour you expect before you use it.

We use Playwright to both automate and scrape the site of a public organisation we are obliged to use, as another public body. They do have some bot detection because we get an email when we run the scripts, asking us to confirm our account hasn't been compromised, but so far we have not been blocked. If they ever do block us we will need to hire someone to do manual data entry, but the automation has already paid for itself many times over in a couple of years.

This person is making a mistake with Everettian mechanics, assuming there is branching, which is precisely not what is happening.
First: Innocent people can use their phones just fine and have their comms intercepted by the IDF. Only Hezbollah wanted an alternative to hackable phones.

Second: If you distribute to Hezbollah and detonate already months later, it's unlikely many unaffiliated people already have Hezbollah pagers.

The hit rate indicates the targeting was right.
What do you mean ?

And in the actual justice system, there's a presumption of innocence.

As for platforms, that's why in the EU big ones must engage with mediators. (Though IMHO it's better to just avoid them.)
I know that this is rhetorical, but I'm sure an analysis of which country is least likely to leave you exposed to the issues mentioned above could be done. I suppose it also depends on who "you" are, and the threat of communications compromise vs drawing the ire of whoever Israel decides to attack through you. I'm sure there are plenty of countries that would rather be bugged by the Chinese or Iranians than be complicit in a way that opens them to actual armed conflict.

This is another danger of letting Israel swing its sword around without any sort of real condemnation from the US/West: the rationale for geopolitical multi-polarity increases in legitimacy. Pax Americana ends because allying with us doesn't save you from being used as a tool for ends like this. If speculation is correct that Taiwan is involved... Woof.
I’d just find it easier to make plans when I’m already in the city, rather than wrapping up and travelling into the city and arriving a bit later as a result.

One of those things where I’m happy to hang out with a friend for an hour so if I’m already out, but travelling there only to return after an hour is less attractive.
The point was that the US government regularly accepts civilian casualties in trageted strikes, so it would be hypocritical for the US government to complain now.

Notably, this doesn't apply to anyone who hasn't supported such strikes in the war against terror.
I have. I lived in Dubai for two years. I drove a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I suspect they have modelled after a (rich) American city traffic, except they have had a green slate.

I travel routinely for work(300+ days/year) and I’ve had many different living conditions. I also spend a lot of time in the UK and BENELUX, both regions that are predominantly car first but with mediocre public transport.

Switzerland is the only country I’ve seen who does it right. I’ve heard Japan does it well, I wouldn’t know.

What city was that?

I am willing to live with Python as the Lisp we deserve to have, on this AI wave, when it finally gets a proper JIT story we can rely on, regardless of the workload.

Currently it is a mix and match of an herculean engineering effort mostly ignored by the community (PyPy), DSLs for GPGPUs, bunch of C and C++ libraries that people keep referring to as "Python" when any language can have similar bindings, jython, IronPython, GraalPy,...

So it isn't for lack of trying, at least we finally have CPython folks more welcoming to performance improvements, and JITs.
You're not entirely wrong when extrapolating from historic trends up to-say- 1999. But the price of launching humans into space has gone down dramatically as is this century (to the point where privately funded LEO missions have become viable), and looks to be going down rapidly in the near future. Space flight looks like it might be entering a period akin to Moore's law in IT.

I'm pretty sure that if the IDF is committed in Lebanon it's no different from Gaza, as far as the ousting process is concerned.

Do you have a source for that command staff admission?

There are still hostages in Gaza. Until they're either released or proven dead I would guess Gaza would still be counted as "unresolved".
This is true if you're a sheep and you live in the US or an allied nation and the exact opposite if you live in an unfriendly country.

For example, if you're a sheep in China, China would obviously never commit a war crime.

If you're a sheep in Russia, Russia would obviously never commit a war crime.

If you're a sheep in the US, the US would obviously never commit a war crime.

Etc.
That's exactly how they work, actually. Or at least worked, traditionally. There are assuredly some two-way pagers out there now.

But yeah, you'd usually pay for service in a certain (large) geographic area, and if you wanted to take your pager out of that area while on a trip, or if you moved, you'd have to let the pager company know so they could start broadcasting in the new area.
Less targeted than even a car bomb would be. I can't think of a precedent really.
I feel like the whole issue with c++ is that in order to create a language able to do everything you more or less have to include a feature set that is 'unharmonious' to say the least.

To me it kind of feels like swift's place here is going to replace the subset of c++ that apple is mostly interested in. But not necessarily the c++ that they aren't and then likely not the c++ that rust et al are able to replace (although I guess we'll see what they have in mind as time goes by).

I suspect they'll be disappointed if they try to replace c++ in totality. As the end result will likely not be particularly habitable.

Not only that, it incentivizes applications to be as dense and technical as possible instead of as clear and understandable as possible as a way to burn down the time that the FAA has to review something so their review is incomplete.

We cannot, should not, and dare not let a long application process allow applicants to side step review by abusing the process.
So far all I've seen is speculation that a specific shipment was targeted.

I'm pretty sure they weren't cellular pagers as they don't seem to be the norm nowadays.
I don't expect to get a reply given how popular this article and discussion was and given how late I am but ...

What are the ethical considerations here?

The opening reply that kickstarted this particular thread was:

> You could say that about literally any shady business

But that user never bothered to qualify what exactly they consider to be "shady" about Mr. Beast's business.

Other than the fact that he has a hugely successful YouTube channel, I know next to nothing about him. I don't watch his content. From what I gather it is mass appeal entertainment.

I've read in some of the replies that he does philanthropic content and there are some un-cited claims that he "pockets" donations (that would be shady if true, but again - those claims were void of any links that would give them credibility).

Others seem to package-deal him in with all of YouTube creators, and they will cite shitty things that other content creators have done for clout as if Mr. Beast himself (or his company) did those things.

Most of the postings here seem to hate him for being successful at creating YouTube content that they personally don't like.

If you want to convince me that a YouTube channel is unethical, then point me towards the victims. Show me who he is hurting and make a clear case for how he is directly responsible for hurting them.

With safe concurrency and typed throws, Swift is starting to look a lot like a friendlier Rust to me. Honestly pretty excited to take a look at it again, though I doubt it will become my daily driver due to the smaller package ecosystem. Hopefully cross-platform Foundation is a step towards improving that though.
Detection by airport security might probably be avoided using the right type of explosive. I have no real idea about this, but I suspect that any nation-state with enough budget and know-how can manufacture undetectable or very hard-to-detect explosive devices. If the explosive is encapsulated in a sealed airtight container, which is properly "washed" after manufacturing, I guess there's no way to chemically detect the explosive inside. Not sure about how to avoid X-Ray detection but that's generally not the way explosives are actually detected.

And, is the device anyway going to pass through airport security? I guess the owners are not really travelling on commercial airliners.

Isn't this an inherent risk when attempting to do network stuff in userspace? You're at a very high level so hoping that lower level things comply seems risky if DNS encryption is critical to your use case.

While the messages are not encrypted, you just have your actual message coded. Have agreed on phrases and what not discussed out of band. Send dummy messages to throw people off and not know what is a real transmission or a dummy one. Is that numbers station just spouting gibberish or communicating with spies?

I just assume that ease of interception is tangential to the legal requirement for permission.

Paper mail and landlines are incredibly easy to intercept and tap, but that doesn't make it legal.

I'd imagine a backup timer, with the ability to trigger early if required for strategic or tactical purposes.

I almost surprised this wasn't coordinated with (or saved for) an incursion into Libanon. That seems to be something Israel wants to do, and this would be a great way to disrupt the defense at the most critical moment.
> Hack the backend server, send a coordinated page to all the pagers at the same time.

I worked on these before and I don't think you'd need to hack anything at all to send a page. Its just a broadcast. Especially if you had access to the receiver as they seem to have had, I can't imagine they compromised the actual Hezbollah transmission tower.
If I recall, Apple deprecated use of certain network apis for third party developers. But Apple’s own apps (App Store) do not have these same restrictions. Thus, when trying to filter network traffic via app firewall via new APIs. It would fail since App Store uses legacy APIs.

Maybe part of this old bug (that I thought was fixed)
I agree there's a lot interesting and great about phone chips.

And there has been some progress getting some phones running real Linuxes, with upstream kernels & more regular userspaces. There's some cheating too, using hybrid Android drivers bent to be Linux-y.

But man it is so irritating to me that there's such tight controls on these chips in every way. So many seem to only be available for large devices makers. There seems to be very narrow segmentation. Ideally one would hope a small SBC with say a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 (SM7675-A), with a single X4 core, would be so interesting as a low cost small board. But instead of the most popular chips on the planet - cellphone chips - being everywhere, there's a whole market of extra special extra old-core embedded chips - the Allwinner and Rockchips and Broadcoms - providing an alternate. One would hope removing display, touchscreen, battery, and case could lower costs, but it's just not done. https://www.anandtech.com/show/21316/qualcomm-intros-snapdra...

And phones, man, so many are locked locked locked down. Many of the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite laptops are locked down - laptops - which can by design install no OS but windows. Highly restricted use seems normal in the ARM world, makes these so much less able to be enjoyed.

The other major downside to phones is they have enormously limited io. A single USB 3 port isn't the worst, but it's still a very narrow straw for something like a modern flash drive to squeeze it's data through. Hopefully, again, USB4 improves this, but ideally I'd love some PCIe connectivity and especially multi-port designs (Lenovo has a couple gaming phones with >1 port in some markets, way cool).

I agree with the excitement for mobile. But it's also a dark segment, a pinnacle of consumerdom & regression to the mean versus that brief great amazing age of Personal Computer compatible, which has spawned systems both small and massive and mighty, that we have been able to extend & use however we might imagine. Phones returned us to an age of control, where our species is impotent at using the tech we have all around us, phones are infernal devices trapping us, are the spiritual foe of human spirit.
They very much do have to respond within X days as determined by law. If the application takes more than 120 days they must inform the applicant what the issue preventing approval is and they must issue a determination by 180 days [1]. Crazy to think that the people writing this stuff might sometimes have already thought of that idea from HN commenter #3937408.

> If FAA does not respond to the revision request within X days, it should be considered approved.

this is obviously absurd and completely ripe for abuse. Regulations are intended to protect the public interest, the government failing its duty in one aspect (timeliness) doesn't void its duties to public health and safety, protection of property, national security, etc.

Sounds like a prooblem that can be solved with a Playwright script with a bit of error checking in it.

I think this needs more elaboration on what the Finic wrapper is adding to stock Playwright that can't just be achieved through more effective use of stock Playwright.
I'd really like to know why they're shutting it down. Funny that they're getting a bunch of signups and traffic because of the news.
For the question, I think it depends on what you mean. I've been able to use SwiftPM on linux without a whole lot of issue. So SwiftPM itself doesn't seem to be the blocker here. At least I've not had issue in my experimentation. What is maybe more of the blocker is the number of libraries that are useful and are compiled and tested on Linux. Which for that, the solution is just people write libraries/upstream Linux support to existing libraries.
Let’s start here: what are YOU going to do about it other than high brow HN?
Excerpts from the discussion about uv on Mastodon
If cost per unit isn’t a consideration, I suspect you can shrink the size of the electronic components used in the pager to make room for a 20 gram explosive charge.

Pagers—especially commodity models—aren’t profitable enough to warrant cutting edge tech with the latest advances in microelectronics. Lots of room to improve things if you are making a set of them at a loss.
It's a cluster of symptoms that is quiet wide, but no not everyone is on the spectrum.

For example, some individuals have high sensitivity to sensory input. On the low end of the spectrum that can mean that some cloths (like pleated cloth) can't be worn because it feels too "weird". On the other end, it can be as extreme as not being able to tolerate almost any food as you can only tolerate some textures and tastes in your mouth.

Definitely with the latest DSM, a lot more people are viewed as having ASD because it widened the definition. Primarily because these symptoms tend to occur together and treatments are basically the same despite the cluster of symptoms.
Yes. But the ones who leave are also likely the ones who are paid better. To a certain kind of exec, that might be a net win.
I wish they would stop introducing more magic syntaxes.
Using Python as C and C++ REPL of sorts has been common in academia since it took the scripting crown away from Perl and Tcl, which were used during the late 90's.

Example see the Bioinformatics papers from that period, and the Perl tooling used alongside the research.

Already in 2003 CERN was using Python on some of their build infrastructure (see CMT), Grid Computing scripting efforts, and we had Python trainings available to us.

Now there is a difference between a REPL of sorts, scripting OS tasks, and going full blown applications with a pure interpreter.
Because the phrase has always bothered me: this means something other than what it's commonly understood to nowadays.

An older use of the word "prove", as in to test, means it says "that's an exception that tests the rule, and finds it is incorrect"
Call it whatever you like, I don't care - but what do you do when the other side is out to wipe your country completely and has zero regard for any conventions of war?

Hezbollah has willingly waged a war on Israel 12 months ago. The Lebanese government is complicit in not managing to hold Hezbollah back, and so do the UN peacekeeping forces which have been unable to implement resolution 1701. There have been countless of attempts at diplomacy with Hezbollah and Lebanon during this time, but nothing worked. So what would you do in this case?

OK, EM waves can get _transformed_ into mass.

I finally gave up on firefox a year ago, after being a lifetime user. I can live with it being slightly slower than other browsers but it had strange hangs and very slow loading sometimes that made me switch and didn't find in other browsers.
It could be an extension, that specific about:config setting or sometinhg else but i switched to have a browser that doesn't require me troubleshoot this stuff.
No one reads the manuals these days.
