> and enough support from the massive iOS developer pool will create a “killer app” that starts to build momentum here

Apple certainly hasn’t helped themselves here by burning so much developer goodwill over the last few years. They may be marketing it as a “Pro” device currently but one of the biggest selling points seems to be immersive video, and Netflix and YouTube both saying no to developing an app for it is not a good look.

On the indie side, in just the last few days I’ve seen multiple Mastodon posts from developers regretting building a visionOS app [0] or considering preventing running their existing iPad apps on visionOS. [1][2]

This is not far off from the guidelines in many cases, e.g. Windows code (well, not every variable of course.) A lot of Java design was copied from C++.
Totally. It’s actually an interesting philosophical question: how much can we expect at different levels of precision in requirements, and when is code itself the most efficient way to be precise? I definitely feel my communication limits more with this workflow, and often feel like “well, that’s a fair, totally wrong, but fair interpretation.”

That’s like chopping your foot off to save on shoes…

It would take years for Qualcomm to develop a competitive RISC-V chip. Just look at how long it took them to design a competitive ARM core…

Of course they could use this this threat (even if it’s far-fetched) to negotiate a somewhat more favorable settlement.
This isn't about patches at all. They can submit patches. Anyone can.

This is about being listed as a contact. You can EITHER work for a company that produces CPUs for the Russian army OR answer mail on behalf of the linux kernel maintainers, but not both.

That's for foreign tourists who have a visa stamp in their passport. So I guess for these digital nomads, that would work too, as long as they don't overstay whatever date is on that visa.

Every time I've looked into building something like this, when I price it out, just using an old Android tablet in kiosk mode and making it a web app ends up being much cheaper.

In a heartbreaking turn of events, Megan Garcia has initiated legal action against Character.ai following the suicide of her 14-year-old son, Sewell Setzer. The lawsuit claims that Setzer's interactions with an AI chatbot contributed to his mental decline and ultimately his death. According to Garcia, her son became obsessed with a chatbot modeled after Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones, spending excessive hours communicating with it. The lawsuit alleges that the chatbot engaged him in harmful conversations, including discussing suicidal thoughts and inappropriate sexual content.
> RISC-V

We’d just get a bunch of proprietary cores which might not even be compatible with each other due to extensions. Companies like Qualcomm would have zero incentives to share their designs with anyone.

ARM is not perfect but it at least guarantees some minimal equal playing field.

> Afaik, ARM also licenses ready-to-go cores

Which is the core of Qualcomm’s business. All their phone chips are based on Cortex. Of course ARM has a lot of incentives to keep it that way, hence this while thing.
It claims to be a scripting language but you still have to compile the programs. Boo! Add CINT (https://root.cern.ch/root/html534/guides/users-guide/CINT.ht...) and you can have instantaneous execution and even a REPL!

> at Netflix type scale that nobody is sshing into individual instances to troubleshoot

Have you worked at Netflix?

I haven't, but I have worked with large scale operations, and I wouldn't hesitate to say that the ability to ssh (or other ways to run commands remotely, which are all either built on ssh or likely not as secure and well tested) is absolutely crucial to running at scale.

The more complex and non-heterogenous environments you have, the more likely you are to encounter strange flukes. Handshakes that only fail a fraction of a percent of all times and so on. Multiple products and providers interaction. Tools like tcpdump and eBPF becomes essential.

Why would you want to deploy on a mature operating system such as Linux and not use tools such as eBPF? I know the modern way is just to yolo it and restart stuff that crashes, but as a startup or small scale you have other things to worry about. When you are at scale you really want to understand your performance profile and iron out all the kinks.

Ha. Fair enough.

I suppose the rub here is that we're doing it intentionally and openly. A serious treatise on the "ultimate halloween costume" sounds oxymoronic, but if you're looking to use AI for more directed forms of ideation, this could be a decent pattern to follow. That's why we included all the prompts and reponses in the post.
I find this generally unacceptable. The FAA doesn’t need to be providing special services to people who want to alter the rules just because they think they’re more important or special than everyone else.

Guess we better pray they don’t alter the deal further. It doesn’t work like this for any other registered government service, from radio licenses to securities brokers; why should it for planes? …and wouldn’t this just be subject to FOIA requests anyway, so that all it does is provide a delay? But again, why should they get special treatment?
There were article suggesting #define BEGIN { and #define end }; to make C look more like Pascal.

I think in Europe C was not as common as other languages at the time so the terseness looked odd.
The liability of allowing this. Liability to the company. It is factually minimal and inconsequential.

Look at the stock price hit companies take when they have security breaches. The impact is basically none apart from a short-term dip which recovers soon enough. Or look at the fines companies get for breaches, always a minuscule percentage of their profit.

This is why companies will keep short-changing security, because to them it's just a cost that doesn't really matter. And objectively, it doesn't matter when viewed from the lens of maximizing profit at all cost.

Did crowdstrike go out of business yet as a consequence of their breach? Did tmobile? Did equifax? These all should have, but all are going strong.

So yes, impact is minimal and inconsequential.

Depressing.
Thanks. I was surprised to find that only a handful of productivity apps offer these features. Hopefully, you find these features useful.

Pointing out hypocrisy is not the same as pointing out a flaw in a decision. This can be both the correct, legally required decision, and also be hypocritical.
Does anyone else find it incredible that they are actually making 1000 of these per day. Apple normally does not like holding inventory, so how many of these do they have in warehouses?
>Think about it, if you write a lot of async code, chances are you have a ton of latency, waiting on I/O, disk, network etc. Using Rust for this in the first place isn't the wisest since performance isn't as important, most of your performance is wasted 'waiting' on things. Besides Rust wants purity and I/O is gritty little dirt.

But isn't most code going to perform some I/O at some time? Whether is calling an API, writing on disk or writing to a DB?
You can assume literally anything
So a small company with say 25 dev/employees with say 2 gb of data per day?

Edit: People here do get what you're saying - "This is the only way we can force some users to pay". What you're not hearing is "Either don't call out your software as FOSS, or if you do, figure out ways of price discriminating without hurting security for FOSS users."
It's meant as both humorous and a nerd snipe :)
Because we're using languages with flexibility but no correctness, but the vast performance advantage AI programming has over us could be used to manage the formal proofs for a verified toolchain.

We're not quite there yet, but while regular programming is quite tough for AI due to how fuzzy it is, formal proofs are something AI is already very good at.

I think it is safe to assume that they are not worried about their Scandinavian neighbors invading.
> People seem to have a lot of interest in going after open source tech leaders

Also, this: Often there's more OSS users (since usually it's free).

If 1% of the users are angry, that could mean many more angry people for a popular OSS project, and comments here at HN, than for some similar proprietary software?
So, what, the espionage concern is that a person who is listed as a contact might read emails on LKML.org?

The only possible justification for this is the one being offered, that some lawyers do not believe it is safe for Linus to head a project with ties that could be made real to a jury between its leaders and sanctioned entities.

Considering the fact that individual people need to stay out of court as badly as they need to avoid being convicted this is not such a difficult decision to empathize with, but it is being conducted in a typical Kernel fashion, with personal views being injected at all the worst moments and contributors leaving who would not have had any quarrels if they had not been fabricated.
Can we just pascal?

Show HN: Microsoft Teams Ticketing System – Ticketing as a Service
Hello HN community!

I’m excited to share Ticketing As A Service, a certified Microsoft Teams ticketing system designed to streamline service desk operations for any department. After working in IT and seeing the challenges of managing untracked requests, I created this solution to enhance productivity and efficiency for teams of any size or industry.

What is Ticketing As A Service?
This app helps teams manage bug reports, incident tickets, and service requests seamlessly within Microsoft Teams. By centralizing and organizing these requests, it reduces response times and ensures nothing gets lost in the mix.

Our team saw that internal service requests—whether from HR, Marketing, Legal, or IT—could easily get lost in emails or chats. We wanted to create a tool that helps teams stay organized, resolve requests faster, and ensure everyone remains on the same page. That’s how Ticketing As A Service was born: a Microsoft Teams-integrated solution designed to simplify request management across any department.

Unlike other ticketing systems, our app is fully integrated within Microsoft Teams, leveraging the platform’s collaboration features. This keeps everything in one place, making it easier for teams to manage requests without switching between multiple tools.

To test the app, you will need a Microsoft Teams account, but you can try Ticketing As A Service for free. Just head over to our landing page and click Try it free: https://www.teamswork.app/best-microsoft-teams-ticketing-ser...

I’d love to hear your feedback or answer any questions! Feel free to share your thoughts or ask about specific use cases in the comments.

Thanks for checking it out, and I look forward to your insights!
Biden's Executive Order 14071 is behind the Linux Russian programmers ban [video]
Apparently they do, from the article quoting the US Embassy:

Japanese Immigration officials are aware of the pattern of people staying for 80-90 days as “tourists,” spending a few days in Korea, Guam or some other nearby area and then seeking to re-enter Japan for another 90 days. Persons with such a travel pattern can expect to face questions at Japanese Immigration and may be denied entry with the suspicion that they have been or will work illegally in Japan. In that Japanese Immigration records are computerized, a “lost” passport does not serve to mask long stays in Japan.
A cost model would give a proof of termination - require the output of each transform to be cheaper than the input. Confluence is less obvious.
This. The hardware and R&D investment won’t go to waste. I’d love a much lower friction version of Vision OS that could successfully get a high res screen in AR. Probably a few more years. Or maybe 10. :) Anyway, I’m curious what Apple will do next, and I’m looking forward to trying those facebook glasses as well. I think there’s almost certainly some tipping point of usefulness and form factor where AR becomes something that’s an “obvious next step, in retrospect” — but I don’t think the bulk, (lack of) comfort and weirdness of not seeing the eyes are winners for the AVP in the long run. I still pack mine for flying though — love it on a plane.
NextDNS as a manual DNS server on Android is the adblocking solution I've been using for years. Is there any reason to believe they would track you, any more than any other DNS provider?
You can spawn async task open a channel and wait for async task to push to it from blocking context, channels can have efficient ways to wait for the message. This is fairly easy to do in rust
Before its release, I read that Sony had said they could produce 900,000 of the displays per year because the process was so complex. Obviously with 2 displays per device, half that is the maximum number of Vision Pros per year.

I'm guessing Apple and Sony would have invested in improving the process if it had hit expectations.
Sony display had capacity for 1 million screens in 2024. That's 500K devices. They are stopping short of that, but we don't know by how much. I'll estimate 400K devices made and sold in 2024 as the Pro model is sunset and Apple takes a shot at a Quest competitor in the $1000-2000 range.
The entire focus of the Vision Pro is mixed reality i.e. both.

Hence why they have the crown to seamless switch between AR and VR.
Is it plausible that some three letter agencies are involved in this decision?
I like the idea of seeing an app that charges me electrician rates to move my cursor around to book me on the wrong flight and thinking “I should plan for the day that I wake up and simply have to mumble ‘do job’ in the general direction of a device”
Obviously the biggest contribution to latency is distance. But there's also some close-ish regions with poor latency because there's not fiber running directly between them (for example, over the poles)

Are there an examples of regions which dramatically violate the triangle equality? (That is, where the A--C latency is much worse than the best A--B + B--C latencies)?

Just as a curiosity, could you use that idea to "infer" which data-centers are most likely directly connected by fiber, and show only the likely fiber connections?
Thanks for giving it a try. I'd love to hear your experience, feel free to let me know.
> I didn't realize when I first put one on that it was a fully synthetic display until I tried reading the 10pt text on my computer monitor.

Can you elaborate on this? I've not looked at it since it came out. Does this mean that you can look at your computer monitors while using it, or that it's replacing your computer monitors because it has a high enough resolution?

Every other display I've tried has far too low pixel density to be used for serious work, which is rather unfortunate.
It look like the Biden's Executive Order 14071 may be behind the ban. See this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5Ec5jrpLVk (discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41933079). If true, then potential consequences may be much farther than just the Linux kernel and can affect the wider open source development.

Bold to assume there was any money saved.

But either way, people underestimate how expensive addiction treatment is, and overestimate how effective it is. Prohibition of alcohol, or rather the teetotaller movement, came because they realized society had a problem it couldn't individualize and pay itself out of.

We still haven't, but for a good 80 years we've had enough money to hide the problem.
What espionage concern? Has anyone involved said there is one?
