Pretty telling thread. Tim Cappalli, one of the spec writers drops by to criticize the export feature and suggests that the attestation feature should be used to punish them for not implementing the fully locked in version.

Some major problems that browsers have to deal with have to do with UI. Specifically:

1. Users expect the UI to update in realtime,

2. Developers expect the UI to update in realtime,

3. UIs tend to be single threaded, and

4. The principles of software engineering and the reality of software stress encapsulation, but the realtime nature of UI requires visibility into these processes.

And of course this impacts the Javascript layer, since this is yet another environment with the same constraints as above.
There are emerging standards for this.

> Australians .. use that term when talking about aspects of the US because

Australians have a weird sense of humour - it's clear from here that most aspects of US economics are decidedly not free markets but so many US citizens never shut up about "free markets" and have such a bicameral Capitalist v. Communist view of the world that it makes sense to just deadpan nod along.

Maybe reread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41856242 and ask yourself if the article really thinks the US health system is a proper Adam Smith free market .. or just a "US free market" with extra heavy air quotes.
That has very little to do with the ICE train itself though, which can do above 320 km/h just fine in regular service (on international connections though, since in Germany the global train speed limit is 300 km/h I believe).

While the high-speed tracks in Germany are indeed quite a bit of a patch-work, there are over 1000 km of track certified for >= 250 km/h (as of 2015; quite a number of more lines got finished since then, but I could not find the updated number that included them) and by now really rather long corridors are very high-speed.
The route from Munich (south of Germany) to Berlin is now mostly covered with upgraded routes for example.
I think the 4 hours for that route are quite competitive to Shinkansen times.
The fastest Shinkansen route (from the listed operating speed the only one that actually operates at 320 km/h; all others only operate at 260-300 km/h) is the Tōhoku Shinkansen line, which takes 3 hours and 20 minutes for the same distance traveled.

It does at least potentially address that.

Ozempic's mechanism of action is not "ramp up your metabolism" or "make you absorb fewer calories from food." It's "make the desire to eat less intense, making it easier to remain on a diet plan." That diet plan could be, "eat exactly the same things but less of them," but it will often be, "cut out unhealthy snacks" or whatever.

> MNCs also don't force you to pay taxes or buy their products.

MNCs are like local governments levying property taxes.

e.g. you need a phone much like you have to live somewhere. Your "Tech Government" is determined by a highly constrained choice like your local civil government is determined by your zip code. Maybe you can move at great disruption and cost but it's only to the jurisdiction of another government and some variation of autocratic laws and taxes.

However, you have no vote and there is no pretence at serving your interests. You are not a citizen but cattle to be farmed... just maximal exploitation to please the mighty Mammon.
It's not true that batteries are required to make renewables work.

In Australia solar is popular because it produces power at the same time it is needed for A/C, computers, manufacturing etc.

There really isn't the need for huge amounts of baseload power. Hence why batteries are used.
Appealing will only get so far in any bureaucratic mess, especially if those responsible for the decision are way above your pay grade.

An open source compliance-centered evaluation framework for Generative AI models
what you hint at is that most workloads today don't need most of the mainframe features any more, any you can move them to commodity hardware.

There is much less need for most business functions to sit on a mainframe.

However the mainframe offers some availability features in hardware and z/VM, which you need to compensate for in software and system architecture, if failure is not an option, business-wise.

and if your organisation can build such a fail-operational system and software solution, then there is no reason today to stay on the mainframe. it's indeed more a convenience these days than anything else.
A Scrappy Complement to FROs: Building More BBNs
I did exit interviews whenever I managed a team of engineers.

They're a mixed bag. Once in a while I learned something insightful. It was worth it, even though a good percentage did not provide much value.

The valuable ones where when a person shared some unabridged feedback that I had not heard before. I heard things that were said more directly, with no agenda, and that was valuable.

Once I a person flat out said that he was slacking COMPLETELY. This reminded me that I am more blind than I'd like to think.

Other times I heard feedback regarding my management style. That was good to hear.

At other times I learned more background or heard a different perspective about a situation that took place.

I do regular one-on-ones and wish that more of these things came out during those conversations. I will continue doing exit interviews to catch additional things that don't get shared regularly.

Show HN: PowerShell Email Notification Mockup – Monitor AI and Automation Tasks
Hey HN,

I’ve built a mockup tool that allows developers to monitor long-running processes (like PowerShell scripts, model training, or automation jobs) and sends email notifications when they’re completed. It’s ideal for tasks that take a long time to finish, especially in the realm of AI, batch processing, and automation.

Live Demo: https://your-unique-bucket-name-979191630.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html

Features:

Process Monitoring: Enter a process name (e.g., notepad, powershell, etc.), and the tool will notify you once it's done running.
Email Notifications: Integrates with any SMTP server (e.g., Gmail, Outlook) to send real-time email or SMS notifications.
Simple UI: Just enter the process name and email details—designed to be developer-friendly.
AI Use Cases: Helpful for monitoring long-running AI model training, data processing jobs, and more.
Some Use Cases:
AI/ML Model Training: Set it up to notify you when your machine learning models finish training (great for resource-intensive tasks).
Data Pipelines: Monitor data processing tasks in real-time and receive alerts when batch jobs are done.
DevOps Automation: Perfect for monitoring automated cloud infrastructure scripts (e.g., AWS, Azure) or backups.
PowerShell Scripts: Automate notifications for long-running PowerShell or shell scripts that require manual checks.
Why It’s Useful:
Save Time: No need to manually check if your script has finished; you’ll get a notification when it’s done.
Customizable: Easily configurable for different email setups and processes.
AI Focus: Great for developers working with machine learning, big data, or other resource-heavy tasks.
Note:
This is a mockup aimed at developers. It’s a work in progress, but feel free to try it out, share feedback, or fork the idea for your projects. Would love to hear what you think!

Procrastination and Laziness Compound
Have you looked it up ?

To use a somewhat similar situation, AFAIK at least some things tend to be defined when you have multiple homes, or live in multiple countries : there tend to be minimum durations for living somewhere that give you rights and/or duties.

Of course it's something harder to implement for true nomads, but some framework is already there. (And there's typically framework for nomads too already, though they historically do tend to be treated as very low class. As a fun fact, the concept of identity papers comes in large part from factory owners which tried to prevent otherwise nomad workers to flee bad working conditions.)
> but how do you build software if you're not doing it with use cases in mind?

That's a fair question in the general case, but that aspect doesn't much apply to SQLite's continued evolution. Perhaps it's an uncommon case in that regard.

SQLite initially grew out of a single, highly-specific use case which Richard wanted to solve. The solution, however, was highly generic, suitable for solving many, many specific problems. In the mean time, the set of use cases has evolved to, essentially, "just about anything for which you need to save data locally":

<https://sqlite.org/whentouse.html>

There are literally millions of concrete uses of SQLite in the wild, the majority of which were never conceived when the library first took shape but (and people are still coming up with exotic uses for it).

Individual features are sometimes added to help support concrete use cases, but the library is general-purpose enough that concrete use cases don't play a considerable role in its day-to-day development.

> In this scenario the macOS firewall does not seem to function correctly and is disregarding firewall rules ... Some examples of apps that do this are Apple’s own apps and services since macOS 14.6, up until a recent 15.1 beta.

This is not new - every time I update macOS, some of the system settings are changed to default including some in the firewall. And I have to painstakingly go through all of it and change it. Also, the few times I've reinstalled or updated macOS, I've always noticed that it takes longer for the installation if your system has access to the internet - so now I've made it a practice to switch of the router while installing or updating macOS or ios. (With all the AI bullshit being integrated everywhere in Windows, macOS and Android etc., I expect this kind of "offloading" of personal data, and downloading of data, to / from AI servers to keep increasing, especially during updates, to "prepare" for the new AI features in the newer OS updates. No internet means the installer is forced to skip it for later, saving you some valuable time, and hopefully you get to change the default setting before it starts up again. Whatever the claims of AI processing done on the Mac or iDevices itself, some "offloading" to their servers, will still happen, especially if the default settings - which you can change only after the OS is installed - also enables analytics and data collection.)

100% mainline - not really yet, but from those that are close to mainline and on which you can run Mobian (which is upstream Debian with a small repo overlay for stuff not ready to go into Debian proper yet) and that you can buy new right now are Librem 5, PinePhone and PinePhone Pro.

If second market also counts then there are a few more options available - mostly former Android phones where hardware support is spotty though, so do your research first. That said, everyone's needs are different and what's there can already fulfill the needs of plenty of people, so it's a matter of figuring out whether you in particular are in this group yet or not.
> The entire I/O streams (where std::cout comes from) feature is garbage, if this was an independent development there is no way that WG21 would have taken it, the reason it's in C++ 98 and thus still here today is that it's Bjarne's baby.

I think this is a very lazy and somewhat conspiratorial take.

C++'s IO stream library, along with C++'s adoption of std::string, is a response to and improvement over C's standard library support for IO. That alone makes it an invaluable improvement. It's easy and very lazy to look back 30 years ago and badmouth things done back then.

It's also easy to complain about no one proposing changes when literally anyone, including you, can propose changes. The only need to do the legwork and put their money where their mouth is. The funny part is that we see frameworks putting together their own IO infrastructure and it ends up being not good, such as Qt's take on IO.

But talk is cheap and badmouthing doesn't require a pull request.
I mean, you'd assume that anyone who wants it already has it; it seems a rather niche product.

> That's already 10x more simpler than the 20 page document some of these other orgs have you fill. Looking at you

I guess somebody has to point out the obvious ....

First, the process is probably simpler because the donation amounts are going to be smaller. If there's only $1M per year in the bank, I somehow don't see them giving out the sorts of large sums the others you mentioned do, e.g. OpenTechFund says it will give up to $400,000 ... I don't see that happening with a fund that only has $1M a year to give out.

Second, building on the above, giving out large sums involves a greater amount of due diligence.

Finally, sadly, the most obvious point .... a longer form helps sort the wheat from the chaff. Both in terms of cutting down the volume of applications some poor soul has to trawl over, but also helping keep the quality of applications high.

This is something I always wondered about: why so many linux users always take the hard way?

They have two options: a) use the mouse-friendly way in NetworkManager to configure their VPN client (yes, it handles VPN DNS too; if you have systemd-resolved, it can also do split-horizon DNS over specific links) or b) funble around with tools and scripts they have no idea how they work, complain how complicated it is, and either get lucky so it works somehow or break their system entirely.

With a current desktop linux system, they should take the option a). They can use command line if they insist, nmcli is also here.
> That's a good one, vote for the guy who's against EVs and thinks climate change is a hoax.

The thing is, I agree with you, but I don't think that's actually that convincing an argument. Trump isn't going to personally reverse the ongoing exit from fossil fuels. Green energy might go faster or slower, but that doesn't necessarily matter in terms of preventing very bad outcomes. I think the high-concept paths to mitigation are a lot easier to delay than the "business as usual" eco trend.

The only difference between them is liability.
Your chick-fil-a example is egregious, that's fair enough.

I'm saying there's some other dirt on something you currently using instead that makes the whole endeavor pointless.

It's hypocritical if you say I disagree with you and I'm boycotting and then go ahead and use another company who has said something you disagree with in the past anyway.

It's the equivalent of the village mob roaming house to house for whatever reason. And then targeting one house specifically as it has better sun than the rest.
> Do you really want to incentivize against people working hard...

You mean by taxing labour and taxing commerce?

Sorry for the snark, but come on...

The Roman empire was built on never taxing labour, because that was seen as an atrocity (never mind the slavery). Instead they taxed luxury goods and debased their currency. The United States was built on never taxing labour, because that was seen as an atrocity (never mind the slavery). Instead they taxed importations and debased their currency.

Since all land was created by God and everything else was created by people's labour, the really unjust thing is to tax labour instead of taxing land. But "territory" is an instinct so deeply ingrained that it's probably been with us for millions of years. However, which other mammals allow members of the same species living on their territory which are not family? As in renting.
