The analogue to the kitchen remodel is that critical infrastructure is held hostage. Ports are prohibited, by law, from hiring non union port workers if they find the union's demands too onerous. This gives the union incredible leverage to harm the rest of society if their demands are not met.

I agree completely about it being careless etc but I am not astonished at all that so many people have done it.

Having this strong opinion about webcomponents while thinking so high of a shit abstraction like react makes you sound stupid and show that you learnt how to code in a bootcamp.

But that ends up with weirdly dogmatic rules because it's not always a bad idea to move a pan without using the handle, it's just in some situations. It still takes a ton of potentially destructive iterations to be sure of something.
My hunch is that this effectively creates a differentiable minimax “search” “tree” that can be backpropagated through. Not a tree — a dag really — and not search, but learning. :)

I'm not a game dev, but I had a lot of fun making an ECS system by following ideas in an article I found (and which I have now annoyingly lost).

It's a very educational exercise that any dev would benefit from, game dev or not.

Can you provide specific examples of censorship based on Republican political views? I haven’t experienced that on the platforms you mentioned.
There still is no shortcut -you will still need to actually compute out those states to see how long they run. The fact that for very simple machines this is possible on modern computers does not avoid or solve the halting problem.

I’m not even sure if that is actually possible on this machine even- I suppose it depends on how many bits on the tape, and rapidly becomes impossible to compute after a pretty small number of bits.

But yes- a particular program must eventually either halt or loop back to a state it already was in, which confirms non halting.
WebGPU was a total surrender to Apple, and Apple still didn't implement it.

Given that Microsoft has also thrown in with SPIR-V and Apple still isn't shipping WebGPU, the next version of WebGPU should tell Apple to fuck off, switch to SPIR-V, and pick up Windows, XBox, and Linux at a stroke.
I don't use Google Drive and probably never will but FWIW Transmit is still one of the best all-around data transfer apps that exist. I always miss it when I am on my Linux workstation. Being able to quickly connect to an S3 bucket and dump files and edit their permissions is a huge plus. Not to mention basic SFTP access like Cyberduck or Filezilla would do. I have never regretted my purchase of Transmit, it's great!
Pretty sure parent didn't actually mean plain html files for everything but if they did then perhaps they're using server side includes.
Thank you for this universal approach. I can now toggle capitalization on/off for any character, instead of just being limited to alphabetic ones!

Jokes aside, I was kinda hoping for a good answer that doesn't rely on a Windows API or an external library, but I'm not sure there is one. It's a rather complex problem when you account for more than just ASCII and the English language.
>But this permanent connectivity is a choice. We can design a computer to be offline first. Once connected, it will synchronise everything that needs to be: mails will be sent and received, news and podcasts will be downloaded from your favourite websites and RSS, files will be backuped, some websites or gemini pods could even be downloaded until a given depth. This would be something conscious. The state of your sync will be displayed full screen. By default, you would not be allowed to use the computer while it is online. You would verify that all the sync is finished then take the computer back offline. Of course, the full screen could be bypassed but you would need to consciously do it. Being online would not be the mindless default.

Netscape went on first to become Mozilla (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Application_Suite), but it was a big and bloated; and only then came Firefox as a slimmed down Mozilla only for web browsing.
The problem with Google’s security certifications, especially when compared to competitors like Salesforce and Microsoft, is how disorganized the process is. While these companies all require security reviews, Google’s approach seems particularly disorganized: if something goes wrong, there’s almost no one to contact for help.

The certifications themselves are valuable, but Google’s main issue lies in its poor communication and support.
Third-party developers, even those paying $60k annually for re-certification, struggle to get timely responses or any at all.

What’s ironic is that the very partners handling these certifications often avoid using Google themselves because it’s “unreliable if something unusual happens.”

And that’s the crux of the issue—when things do go wrong or something unusual happens, it’s incredibly difficult to resolve.
We do need some icebreakers though!

Amusing how underneath this comment, there are several comments saying "ah, you just haven't found the right SSG, this one is good". Well-intentioned, but completely missing the point.
Thanks, I want to get my genes sequenced but I'd also like to get my records deleted from the service provider. I guess it'l have to be real name?

I’m not expecting my data get deleted from old backups or log files. I can see where that would be an issue.

What I do expect is my data is deleted from the production database and thus won’t be in any future backups/logs/etc. I guess to that end, they would need to keep a record of delete requests to re-delete them if they ever need to restore from backup.

If there is a data breach in a year where the company’s user data ends up on the internet, I expect to not be in that user list.

Do you know where one can get sequencing done at a HIPAA regulated provider?
I guess it would depend on how you view AGI. I personally do not believe AGI is possible under current or near-future technology, so it is not really a concern to me. Even the definition of "AGI" is a little murky - we can't even definitely nail down what "g" is in humans, how will we do that with a machine?

Anyway, that aside, yes, your general understanding of my comment is correct - if you do believe in AGI, this kind of framing is harmful. If you don't believe AGI, like me, you will think it is harmful because we're inevitably headed into another AI winter once the bubble bursts. There are actual very useful things that can be done with ML technology, and I'd prefer if we keep investing resources into that stuff without all this nonsensical hype that can bring it crashing down at any moment.

An additional concern of mine is that continuing to make comparisons this way makes the broader populace much more willing to trust/accept these machines implicitly, rather than understanding they are inherently unreliable. However, that ship has probably already sailed.

There is no minimum safe level for lead.
Termination is decidable, it's just that the finite program which decides if it terminates would take unfeasibly long to run.
The C64 ROM source code hasn't been lost (it's here: https://github.com/mist64/cbmsrc) but I would count it as "source available" because it's not freely licensed (I believe Cloanto owns the copyright to it).

Cassette Tape Business
I've been reading about the growth of the cassette tape community, and how it mirrors the growth of the vinyl industry.

As a 1990s kid, I understand tape culture and grew up surrounded by Maxell and TDK products. I think the parallel is 1-to-1 but we're still a ways off from the full infrastructure for cassette tapes rivaling the vinyl comeback.

Am I wrong in my thesis, and if I'm not wrong, what are some ways I can take advantage of this?

I was going to research the best Bluetooth cassette players and try to dip my toe into the marketplace with dropshopping, but maybe that's not the best move either.
Right? Past panics have included Rock 'n' Roll, TV, Video Games, and Heavy Metal. All the while these people never seem to get too concerned that a significant percentage of American children only get fed at school by the school, don't receive proper medical care and have very little wherewithal to get an education beyond high school - thus all but ensuring the poverty cycle will continue.

But sure, let's add TikTok to the list of moral panics.
Show HN: StampsDesigner – Create custom stamps online with responsive UI
I built StampsDesigner (https://stampsdesigner.com) as an online platform for creating custom stamp designs. Key features:

1) User-friendly tool for designing company and personal stamps

2) Various templates and customization options

3) Caters to businesses (branded stamps) and individuals (personal/event stamps)

4) Responsive design using Tailwind CSS and DaisyUI

I'd appreciate any feedback from the HN community on the user experience, design options, or potential improvements. Have you ever needed custom stamps? What features would be most useful to you?

This is straight out of the IBM playbook. Did Google pick up some IBM flunkies recently?

What a terrible business practice. This was a company that once proudly displayed the motto, “don’t be evil” and even proved itself in various situations. Those days are long gone as the company is filled with more brain dead, unimaginative MBA flunkies.

Those functions take and return single characters. What's missing is functions that operate on strings. You can use them in combination with std::transform(), but as the article points out, even if you're just dealing with ASCII you can easily do it wrong. I've been using C++ for over 20 years and I didn't know tolower() and toupper() were non-addressable. There's really no excuse for the library not having simple case conversion functions that operate on strings in-place.
Any source for this? Most of the research I've seen with regards to lead and IQ is correlational and could be confounded by intelligence being correlated with income which is associated with living in places with less lead exposure.

https://x.com/Noahpinion/status/1825584397363589312

Basically the IQ gap between the lead exposed and non exposed has stayed the same even though the amount of lead in the bloodstream has dropped by orders of magnitude. So either the first part of lead exposure is 100x more damaging then the 100th part of lead exposure (which animal models do not bear out) or a lot of the lead exposure IQ research is confounded.
I used CLion before I switched to clangd + vscode and it was orders of magnitude slower.
I wonder if you can convince them through the customer service portal? People make typos all the time…

CLion was what I used before and it was way clunkier than VSCode with clangd. Complicated libraries like CGAL just weren't usable for auto-complete, but were instant with clangd.
I had a feeling the author would be a Ruby programmer. It feels like the Ruby community exists in two wildly different camps:

- One like that of the author, where there's an emphasis on programming as an artistic/creative endeavor (see also: why)

- One that instead emphasizes seriousness and sternness, often coupling Ruby and Rails tightly at the hip

In both of the cases where I worked for Ruby development shops (one consultancy and one SaaS vendor), the dominant culture was very much the latter, and yet I always gravitated toward the former. I recall mentioning reading stuff like why's Poignant Guide to Ruby early in my career and getting responses from coworkers along the lines of "ugh, really?", and I was always left baffled.
0 sum would be an improvement.
I'm currently using raylib and Odin to build a 2D platformer for my twins. I built out a PoC with a couple of levels. Now I'm working my way through a level editor. It has completely reinvigorated my passion for programming.
I got an uber the other day, had to wait 5 minutes for it. There were some taxis sat outside the station, but I chose uber because

1) I know it will take card. Last time I took a taxi the "card machine was broken" and "I'll drop you at an ATM"

2) I know I'll get a receipt, as a PDF, which I put into my expenses. Taxi drivers tend to be very grumpy about giving receipts

3) I know I won't get adverts - maybe this is just a New York thing, but last time I took a yellow cab in New York I was bombarded with adverts

4) I know I'll be going to the right place, without having communication difficulties and ending up at the wrong hotel or whatever

Price doesn't come into it.

And if uber can't gets its operational costs down below a taxi firm paying for a dispatcher and manager to handle paperwork etc, given the scale they operate at, then they really need their tech stack sorting.
The reductio ad absurdum of this style of argument would hold that every retailer is a monopoly, because once you walk into the store, you can only buy things from them.
If you do that work professionally, optimizing solely for capex while ignoring opex and the cost of business interruption, is not sound.
Performance and frame analysis – Metaphor: ReFantazio
Most of the regulations nuclear proponents want relaxed are around plant construction, not waste disposal. The older generations of western nuclear plants have a strong track record. The justification for regulation need to be weighted against the damage of continued carbon emissions due to higher plant costs.

Yes, everyone loves it, but it fails the surprisingly sane criteria. Try uploading a video to YT on 9. Or even do a cloud phone backup. Why do we tolerate connections that force us to be nothing but consumers online? Creation needs real upstream bandwidth.

Starlink is also painfully expensive. I've sent them several customers, but I know what it is: a last chance for rural people who've been abandoned to rotting DSL lines. That being said, line of sight is impressively competitive both on bandwidth potential and the most important factor to casual users, cost.
Unfortunately this narrative is imperceptibly different from Russian propaganda (eg, leaving out that Russia regularly buzzes American airspace in Alaska). So if you want to make this case, you’ll have to find a narrative that works for Ukrainians (who overwhelmingly support the war[1]) and the Taiwanese. Convince them that an American pullback will be fine for them, and I’ll support America pulling back.

Until then, a multi-polar world among authoritarian aristocracies is a pipe-dream. Everyone hates American hegemony until you ask them what other hegemony they would like.

So missiles we must make, and make them cheaper we can.

If you (and others in the replies) were to go and update and perfect your data, removing all these ambiguities (fake name, dob), you would then be in a position to ask them to delete it. Ie absolutely remove all doubts about who you are to then address your privacy concerns. Perverse, eh?
Doubt it. I assume they're under HIPAA regulations and it'd be a massive cost if they did it even once.
No. They just threatened to remove access to the Play Store.

My credit union supported check deposits via web browser for years, but sadly, they discontinued that feature. I suppose I could switch to a credit union that still supports it, but it turns out my current one also accepts check deposits through the mail (I had to call them to learn this) so I do that instead. I'll keep the feature in mind next time I have reason to switch credit unions.

Netflix and commercial games just aren't priorities for me. I keep e-books on my phone for lobby reading, and F-Droid games can fill more hours than I think I'll ever have to spend.
The dose makes the poison.

I'd choose micro plastics vs an equivalent mass dose of lead.

If it was 1000x the amount of micro plastics vs lead it's maybe less obvious which is the less bad poison. I'd have to do some research at that point.

I think framing it this way it's obvious that lead is worse than micro plastics. But when you go from lead soldered copper pipes to PEX I don't know what the doses you get from each are.
I think it could be improved to have its inner workings even more visible.
History is filled with workers of any kind standing up, speaking politics as part of their unions, taking action as one and having the black sheep marginalized.

We are not in this together. We will never be.
This happened on Pixel devices, so the OEM is Google (which might be related). As I recall, no Amazon apps come preinstalled, but I have installed them from the Play Store first, then removed them, so maybe that could have flipped some flag too.
The CAS role for an AH-1Z and a F-35 couldn’t be more different. I said this in another post but it bears repeating here, like the A-10 the AH-1Z was doing low altitude, slow, line of sight close air support. Literally “put a hellfire in the third window from the right on the top floor of the tan building with the tile details on the roof line” and then watching the Marines behind cover point at it.

Maybe Marines on the ground had a different experience, but I viewed the jets, Artillery, and AC-130s as a much more blunt instrument. We got a lot of calls for precision strikes that would have been danger close, and without us I can imagine a lot more friendly fire incidents.

That said, there is no air to air defense for an attack helicopter, it’s comical that we even practiced. Without our jets suppressing enemy jets, there would be no way helicopters could operate, we’re sitting ducks.

Equ: A Plain TeX Math Editor in Golang and Tk9.0
The problem is - imagine microservices - that data does not exist in one spot. And chances are no one actaually knows 100% where the data lives. It probably lives in a prod db, an ETL data lake type platform (or two/three - and god knows if that has any kind of identifier to actually delete it) and chances are if you are big enough some 3rd party systems. So even if you delete it from prod, it still exists somewhere.

In a perfect world there would be some way to snap your fingers and delete it from every system - but we do not live in a perfect world. There is absolutely no incentive to build systems with this kind of requirement in mind. It's a waste of time and effort. Europeans will say "but hey wait! GDPR!" meanwhile the world keeps spinning and no one gives a shit.

Have you tried emailing them a bit? It is worth a shot I think: you made a typo (people make them all the time), but you don’t really need to fully authenticate, because you are just making a deletion request anyway (not trying to access the data).

(Also keep in mind, customer service people have to argue with assholes all day long, staying polite but clear but on-target can go a long way. Stick to the topic and never give them an excuse to cut off communication).
