> Internet tethering is actually one that's gone backwards, with "unlimited" cellphone plans that are limited when tethering. Or plans that disable tethering even though all the software is there.

The internet tethering limits are in the contract though. Surely the primary goal for jailbreaking isn't just theft of service?

> The other thing from a jailbreak would be for it to become self hosting, that is, give the ability to make full blown iPhone ipa on an iOS device without needing a macOS device anywhere at all.

You can create full-fledged local apps, or publish them for free or sale in the App Store using Playgrounds on an iPad.

The primary limitations are in things like typing speed and screen real estate as well as UX complexity and side-by-side debugging, none of which directly change with an active jailbreak.
Can agree with the post.

I, also, discovered build-in-public and indie hackers communities about 6-8 months ago, after I failed at "build it, and they will come". Since then, I have revived my Twitter/Mastodon/LinkedIn, followed some people with similar goals, and shared my progress.

Eventually, I have realized that like any community, most people are not willing to do the job and would rather flood the internet with low quality questions like "what payment provider should I chose". People would glorify the "build 432 in 12 months, and see what sticks" approach, thus making their content repetitive ("hey, just launched Y on PH, support my launch!!").

And even the "big players", like levelsio, would post irrelevant stuff such as criticism of EU. Sure, everyone can post what they want, but my desire was to follow people who are smarter, and more successful than me, in order to learn from them, and not be involved in politics. After ~8 months of being there (there = Twitter) on a daily basis -- I quit cold turkey. It's not worth it.

I shared some of my thoughts in my (other) blog [0].

If you want something passable, most compilers have function prologue/epilogue hooks that you can write in plain code. Realistically, development and test systems are only going to target like 1 or 2 compilers, so it is not very much work. Unless you are distributing a source library and you want to get full-trace telemetry from customer systems in-development, that is probably all you really need to do.

If you want to really zoom, you need to get the hooks inlined and probably just written in straight assembly. You then need to optimize your binary format and recording system. You then need to start optimizing your memory bandwidth usage when that becomes the bottleneck. Your overhead in the end is basically limited by memory bandwidth; you can only shovel so many tens of GB/s of logging into memory. Note that persistence has likely been infeasible for the last 2 or so orders of magnitude; RAM is likely the only storage consistently fast enough for the data rates you want to generate when doing this.
The author says "I refuse to believe they’re unaware of this. This doesn’t feel like an oversight, it's either a deliberate design decision or they just don't care." Agree that this is an uncharitable way of looking at it.
A significant majority of the total wealth in the US is in real estate (~$90T of ~$150T). Most of that is residential, but about a third of it is commercial.

So about 10-20% of the total wealth in the US is in the form of commercial real estate, a significant amount of which is offices or office-adjacent-services that lose value if offices are not occupied.
Here's the thing:

The reasoning behind the work from office mandate does not concern me; nor I will attempt to rationalize it.

I will not return to office, and I will organize with colleagues to make sure our interests are protected.

See you in the strike.
It's so funny but encouraging to read this. I started drinking coffee in college and could easily finish a whole pot, or have 3 Starbucks venti drip coffees in a day, but I was not sensitive to caffeine at all and could sleep right after. It also didn't seem to have that wake-up alertness effect either

Then something changed, and now I am sensitive to it like a normal person. It does wake me up after a sip or two I can feel it, and I can easily have 'too much' if I have 2-3 cups in too short of a timespan, so I've had to learn to slow down.

Having said all of this, my personal 'last call' is 6pm, with the idea that I will be able to sleep at 12-1am. But if I drink coffee after 6pm I might be delaying that bedtime a little.

It will be interesting to learn more about the effects of how much, and how long. Should I be tapering off hours before 'last call'? What is the best 'last call' time in the day and should it be earlier? I'll have to track some of this and figure this out!
Who flags this? Why?

Everyone needs to see this to be more careful walking on sidewalks. Those who does this needs to see this to wake up and see you can kill someone doing this.
It only partially blocked my airway. I got to the hospital in minutes also, I was a toddler, my parents took me. Luckily we lived less than 2 miles from the hospital.

Microsoft Teams according to https://www.businessinsider.com/disney-stop-using-slack-hack...
Valve got a scare with Windows 8 that they could be pushed off the platform.[0] It became clear to them that they were just guests in a house owned by Microsoft. That was in 2012, the first Steam Machine (running Linux) came out 3 years later and they've been working at it ever since.

It's not about saving the cost of a license, it's about guaranteeing their own survival.

As for "supporting native games," I take that to mean "sufficiently incentivize game devs to port their games to Linux." How would that work, or did you have something else in mind?

I think TBS is a bit different as it has to come with a psychiatric evaluation. It's meant specifically for mentally unstable people as a form to coerce them into treatment.
You can yeah but it's super slow even with my high end phone
is it really a vulnerability if the entire thing is open by design?
Yeah but it was only ever available for the S9 and only for a year or so before they killed it again :(
I can think of several ways in which faster development could lead to better quality. Let's say you have a fixed time to come up with a solution to a problem. If you are able to come up with one candidate and evaluate it in that time, you have to live with what you get. If you do two candidates, you can select the one that is better.

Another aspect of quality is "polish". A team that can get a UI in front of QA twice in a development cycle instead of only once will benefit from more fault-finding.
What a great project! Especially directly emulating MIPS in 4004

It would have been far easier to write an MIPS Emulator in a tiny VM and run that VM instead of MIPS

It would also be even slower ^^
Exactly, these articles always just make me face palm because the authors never manage a cogent argument about who is making the actual RTO decisions and who cares about commercial real estate values. It's much easier just to chalk it up to the nebulous and scary "elites" and then the authors don't have to do any actual research.

For one, look at the expenses of some of the large tech companies that often make the front page here on HN due to their RTO plans. Real estate is a relatively teeny portion (salaries are obviously the biggest). Point being, no sane CEO would demand RTO to "prop up commercial real estate" if they thought it would be a net negative for their actual business long term, precisely because their concerns about real estate values are so far down on their list of priorities.
That's just, like, your opinion, HN reader. Mars is going to inspire a huge number of kids to go into engineering, much like the Moon landings did. I am an engineer today (although a software engineer, not a "real" one) because of the Moon landings and the space race in general. Whether it gets "settled" or we just drive some buggies there, that's secondary. Spending $2T per year on losing idiotic and unnecessary wars is a "boondoggle", not this. Musk is spending his own money to go there.
This is really nothing new. Valve has been supporting fex by paying Alyssa from asahi Linux to work on it for a while.
> They are only working really hard not to pay for Windows OS licences.

In what way are they supposed to be paying for Windows licenses? What do you even mean by that? You aren’t required to give 30% to MS to ships Windows apps (nor macOS)

If anything they are trying to build a moat, good-luck playing Xbox games on your Steam Deck if you don’t go out of your way to install Windows. Making them affectively a monopoly for now.
Nice find!

There's a problematic but not critical personal information leak, a mild business intelligence leak and that's about it.

> They could keep this script running for months, even years, creating awkward scenes and uncomfortable conversations at every restaurant across the country.

If that's about the worst thing you can actively do, then it's only about the data leak.
The idea that there's a global cabal of ultra-wealthy real-estate owners who have globally conspired to control people to go back to the office holds about as much weight in my mind as the idea that there's a global cabal of ultra-wealthy who have globally conspired to create a virus to control the population.

Covid was an outlier event, and the outcomes that occurred as a result of it will revert to the mean over time.

Maybe someone is more knowledgable but I think the biggest issue here is deliverability.

You'll probably have to use a reputable provider's API (eg. GMail, Twilio etc.) because otherwise the recipients' provider are likely to flag you as spam and people never see your email.
> Does anyone offer a tethering plan that's rate limited but not data limited?

T-Mobile in the US; they give you a set amount of high-speed tethering based on your plan, then it rate limits severely until the end of the billing cycle unless you upgrade your plan or buy a a pack of data.
Amazon wants retention? That seems very strange and counter-intuitive. When did this happen?

Looks pretty nice. I love to see a real desktop app (using Qt) instead of yet another shitty Electron app. Hope that you keep working on this!
I’ve long suspected it’s a PR campaign/propaganda and talking points aimed directly at the c suite class. A lot of people with a lot of money stand to lose a lot. Banks, investors, retirement funds…

Start circulating studies showing people working multiple remote jobs at once, steer thinking around company culture, normalize it through repetition, send out talking points. Eventually dominos will start failing.
Basically. Need to pay for a bigger pipe. Same applies to power as well, gotta pay to get more capacity.

The "think tanks" that are pre staffed and fully capable of churning out and placing 3x major long form articles per week that are pro or con {Subject X} (and an additional few that fence sit and are "just asking questions") already exist and have been about since at least Nine out of Ten Doctors Recommend Smoking.

Easiest would be to forbid cars access to the school. All over the world kids are walking to school and when I talk to US people I hear some of them are even prevented from letting their kids walking to school. Apparently some of them introduced rules out of the jealousy of the fat parents that don't want to see healthy kids walking past their diabetic ones and enter the school while they are still waiting in line in their cars.
If somebody says “be agile; do A, B, and C for better software engineering”, and you do not A, not B, and not C then complain about how terrible agile is, the problem is not with agile. You did something different to agile and got different results, so why are you blaming agile for your own failure?

It is, in fact, possible to implement agile wrong – by doing the exact opposite of agile. This is not a rhetorical trick you are catching people out on.

But DeX is only available on the highest performing devices in the Galaxy lineup :)

I don't have any performance complaints on my S23 with Snapdragon chip. But they are too frugal with memory. Tabs and apps often have to reload in DeX.
That would be neat but its very difficult to get someone to reveal who is paying for it behind the scenes. For example, this is the “survey” referenced in the article :

https://www.surveymonkey.com/curiosity/surveymonkey-research...

Now, who is “Sam Gutierrez” and how is he benefitting? Did he get compensated for it? Is he doing a public service? Is he licking ass? Do we care?
Why, though? What difference does it really make besides significantly reducing the cost of “porting” games?

If anything, due to Wine, Proton etc. “Windows API” is almost a pseudo opensource way of developing cross-platform content. There are significant downsides but on the bright-side it’s extremely stable considering to most stuff on Linux.
If you're a C-level at a Fortune 50 company, some massive percentage of your personal assets, if they're invested in the stock market or private equity, are in commercial real estate.

There's no mystery here. People with assets want those assets to remain valuable, and act directly to reinforce it. This is why we don't let athletes bet on their own games.

> Point being, no sane CEO would demand RTO to "prop up commercial real estate" if they thought it would be a net negative for their actual business long term, precisely because their concerns about real estate values are so far down on their list of priorities.

What if they thought it didn't make any difference, or was mildly net positive to the short term value of their shares? Like, say, 2% increased value through voluntary attrition over the next 2 years, followed by 10% reduced value? And it propped up their portfolios? Is that really so far fetched? We see companies making a lot more questionable decisions in pursuit of quarterly numbers.
Yaac and other open source tools are less than enthusiastic about receiving fixes from outside.
Oh please. The fact that McKinsey exists and has done plenty of shady shit doesn't mean they coordinate stuff like this.

"People who believe in conspiracy theories have never been project managers."
Ironically the word "overloaded" is overloaded too.
If it would be bad for people's pension funds and such, shouldn't it be everyone's interest to actually keep showing up to prop up those real estate values?
NS2 work started in 2011, Russia needed help twenty years earlier.

But yes, alt history is bullshit, and nobody knows what would have if-only, if-only, if-only, but we can observe and shoot the shit about what did happen. And what did happen did not win many friends in it.

There's no shortage of blame to go around within Russia. Yeltsin was a walking autocratic disaster, and handed the country right over to Putin.
I didn't think of Jeff Bezos as a benevolent community member of "the elites", doing everything he can, for free, to save the real estate portfolio of his unlucky landlord friends.

The truth is that after the initial movement toward remote work, we are starting to see the secondary effects.

For instance, starting as a junior in a remote job can be really daunting, and you're sure to never make any personal connection with anyone. Being stonewalled by a non-cooperative senior coworker in a slack chat while you start your job is a very stressful experience, I can tell you.

Remote also allows some slack if you don't enforce a very tight and intrusive management. See the countless stories about people holding two jobs at the same time.
Hard to do that if you grow up in the middle of London.
It's so crazy to me how 2008 was barely a decade-and-a-half ago, and people already forgot how much of a coordinated, organized, and pseudo-fraudulent shitshow the CDO merry-go-round was. Loans were given out, rating agencies were being bought, and everyone was skimming off the top until the music stopped. Are we really pretending it can't happen again?
If you discovered an incompetent healthcare provider was prescribing antibiotics for every condition would you "contact them privately" or contact the relevant authorities?

Private disclosure is for when you believe the company cares about security but made a genuine mistake. For the company in the OP it would be more like free education in fundamental privacy and ethics. They're not entitled to that. Name and shame.
My theory, which is kind of informed by what I saw it play out in my company: The reason is a psychological one. Most leaders
derive their power from in-person interactions. Remote and video calls severely impact that. Those leaders also love having an audience that needs to listen to them whenever they are in the room and the lack of that kind of feedback and adulation shellshocked a lot of them.
same thoughts, annual reports of larger companies have more dense figures than these too.
I wrote that Amazon wants “attrition”, which means the opposite.
Scale up the loads, and if it does stairs, unattended, then rent it out for moving days.
I don't understand the logic behind this argument.

Yes, some people made a bet on office real estate, and they're in a bad position right now.

But those aren't the same people who are running businesses that use those offices. Why would most businesses care if real estate is propped up or not? How would increasing utilization of their buildings actually help them?
to be clear, this is only really useful for applications that present their ui through opengl and do not interact with the rest of the android system very much.

the ndk is meant for writing little bits of c to speed things up in a classic java android application.

this is a pretty cool hack that allows for opengl apps to be written in straight c that run full screen and have limited access to things like keyboards, adc inputs or usb.

it does not include a reimplementation of the android frameworks in c and the ndk provides limited access for ndk code to interact with them.

the main use case seems to be supporting a program for live audio reactive visuals based on extraction of chroma.
> It’s garbage meant to sow divisiveness.

You mean like random unfounded fear-mongering about Russians?
Right, but that falls under being compatible, and has been true since about 2015.
The world doesn't have to be coordinated. People mistake the fact that it's easier to selfishly gain from chaos for conspiracy: what you see is a result of every man for himself thinking, combined with their being little downside to seeding a narrative and seeing if it sticks.
Maybe they are traitorous Putin assets, if that would help lower standards of proof and be more palatable bogeyman for you.
There are a lot of arguments in this post about what does or does not constitute an “elite”.

I don’t have an answer to that question but I am curious as to why my company and multiple companies my friends work at, are having events where they direct us to command our entire team to come into the office and then tell us the next day that there aren’t enough seats and some people should be told to stay home.

It seems like a lot of companies want to eat their cake and have it too. I mean that in the sense that they want all their employees in the office but don’t want to pay for enough office space to make that possible.

Hell, even the “golden path” schedule for my team or any other in the company doesn’t have set desks. Where we sit in office changes depending on the day because we have the seating capacity for 75% of the employees mandated to be in office, and hr is doing their best at accommodating this. I don’t think as many real estate firms would be looking at their offices sitting unused if corporations actually put their money where their mouth is when it comes to the return to office push
Have you tried using Termux? You can install Linux distros using it.
It's already "free". How much lower should it be?

So that's not the use of the domains. It's to make it easier / lock in existing customers.
It all depends on how many watts you want to lose to chain friction and how quickly you want to wear other components out with the sandy oil slurry on your chain. If the answers are "I can tolerate tons of lost watts because it's an ebike" and "the components are cheap, who cares" then maybe running a dirty chain for ages is acceptable.
Real estate is just a small piece of the puzzle. The larger issue is that millions of people commuting daily is big business.

It drives a large piece of demand for the auto industry and causes literally and figuratively tons of fuel to be consumed, just to take some obvious examples, but there are many many many more when you consider the chain reactions.

Fuel is heavily taxed in most countries as well, so reducing the demand is a major hit to the core economy of many nations. This is a problem for everyone, not just the 1%. It might actually be a smaller problem for them than for most.

This is not a conspiracy so much as it is a real problem that might cause problems for all of society unless its handled well.

I think we need to elevate the discussion from the tiresome "It's all $category's fault because they're evil" to stand any chance. In this case as in so many others.

You can’t really do that without investing heavily in cycling infrastructure like the Dutch do. Not just designing but redesigning roads when accidents happen. A city like Seattle attempts to put the burden on drivers in theory, but crappy road designs (including lots of occluding on street parking) with little to no change when accidents occur often move incident sentiment firmly into the “not much the driver could have done” accident category.
