Authoritarianism is present in a lot of postmodern "leftist" movements that captivate younger women votes. it's justified with "fig leaves" reasons like curtailing free speech to contain hate speech, limiting liberties in the name of safety, Coercing personal behavior for greater causes like climate change, giving privileges to certain groups in the name of "penitence to ancestral sins", etc....

Isolationism is an issue that is hurting women too, way less than males as women tend to have stronger social networks

While at scale there isnt a trend of Reactionism, it looks that there is a greater political polarization and advocacy that compared to past generations hinders relations between ideologically different/incompatible groups
Yeah my Bluesky followers are carefully curated to stop from swelling into negativity. I've been playing around with a labeller that filters followed posts into those that I find emotionally pleasant which I've been training based on my own labeling of followers' posts. The goal is to follow more people and have the labeller (or feed generator depending on how I go) hide the posts I don't care for.
well, values don't feed you. I am pretty sure a lot of folks would abandon their own beliefs if somebody gave them 1m.
Dependency resolution uses Coursier, which is one of the open source JVM dependency resolvers. SBT uses it too, and my last company used it with Bazel

The "ivy" thing is legacy haha. Mill used to use Apache Ivy to resolve dependencies, years ago. Coursier was a better/faster replacement, but names have a tendency to stick around

Whats your beef with BRICS? There should be competition in the world against the US dollar. It keeps the West more honest if there was someone nipping at their heels. Yeah its a mess backed by some unsavory countries but at least they are trying. Think about everything in your life. There is always at least 2-3 options. Why don't we really have that at a country level? We got the US, the rest of the west is essentially just vassal states for them and then we maybe got China but they may collapse before they amount to anything. Thats it.

It's trivial to bundle and deploy some server-side code with a static site on Vercel, Cloudflare, Firebase, or Netlify.

Usually you simply create a /functions directory wth your JS code and that's it.
Like I said above, Im not arguing that alcohol isnt a drug, just that I think you are making way to big of a deal out of the phrasing.

Alcohol isnt viewed more favorable because it is held apart. It is held apart because it is viewed more favorably.

It is a distinction stemming from real world practice. You wont fail a drug test at work and be fired due to alcohol. You wont get shunned and kicked out thanksgiving for having a glass of wine.

One can argue that people should take alcohol more seriously, but coming at it from a semantic rationale seems silly.

Pubky Notes: Note-Taking App with You in Control
Yes, though it's important to note that the economic notion of value is weighted according to wealth and therefore more than a bit weird. Feeding an orphan creates no "value" because they have no money to pay you with, while merging companies into a mega-monopoly that can shake down the rest of the economy creates loads of "value" because it pays rich investors huge dividends. Of course, there are plenty of honest ways to create value and get paid for it, and that's pretty cool. Both extremes exist, most things are in the messy middle, and reasonable minds can differ about which way the system leans and what should be done about it, if anything.

Another piece of important context is that the US is a developed economy, not a growth economy. If the pie is growing at 2% and the capital slice of the pie is growing at 10%, anyone who lives in the remainder and argues that their slice is being grown is a fool.
> The team can't fix the bug without information from me, and it's been too long for me to provide information to the team.

Ugh. I feel like developers should already know this, but I guess not: If at all possible, please, please, please include a solid reproduction case when reporting bugs. That way you don’t have to remember anything about it. (This is also pretty much the only way you can be certain that the problem isn't actually due to your own error/misunderstanding.)
But it is that easy. Pinyin has a standard notation for the tones of words. Your position on this matter cannot seriously be "if it were possible to write Chinese phonetically, the Chinese alphabet would no longer exist".
> the arbitrary nature

"Sci-fi" already tells you what's the fictional part of the story: the science/tech, and maybe some fundamental rules around those. Fantasy is where you get to rewrite the basic rules of the universe.

In the span of a few decades we went from no planes to flying at almost Mach 10 in air (X-43) and 600.000km/h in space (Parker probe), and from AM radio to a super-computer in everyone's pocket. So you can bet any person can reasonably imagine that in a few centuries we could be advanced enough to build today's sci-fi. That's because they have a few real anchor points in the history of human civilization or even their own lifetime and an easy assessment of the progress of science between them.

Most people also actually think asteroid belts are that dense. But that's because even basic concepts about gravity aren't immediately apparent from day to day experience. Basic grasp of gravity will never allow you to believe it naturally "wears off" in an asteroid field so the chunks stay close enough to even collide but magically never clump together, or that 1000 years "in the future" will change what was constant for billions of years.

It only seems arbitrary if you don't bother to think about it.

Link? I've seen several instances of third-party repair shops doing BGA swaps to replace the NAND with larger packages from other Apple products. I've seen one instance of somebody making a pair of custom boards, one soldering down to the original NAND BGA pads to provide a slot, and the other board slotting into that one to hold the scavenged BGA packages in an easily-replaced module. But I haven't seen anyone retrofit an off the shelf NVMe device to operate as primary storage for an Apple Silicon machine.
Most water suppliers in the USA still don't test for PFAS on a regular schedule. Only the more progressive states (like ME) require testing from their suppliers.

I maintain a DB of drinking water contaminants in the US[1]. You can look up your city's system to see if they test for PFAS.

Most people aren’t upgrading from the 15 to a 16, so they’re probably getting more than just a button. You could argue that the only update for the 15 over the 14 was also just a button.
I mean we do actually have many years of real life experience at this point of how they perform in the real world.

I’ve never actually come across a better maintained project personally. It is incredibly thoughtfully developed with a high level of attention to detail who have successfully shipped a huge number of major improvements in ways that made sense.

There is a premise in the post that implies Flutter is poorly maintained and that’s just not a commonly held belief by the community at all.

As I hinted to in another comment the particular person behind this is a bit of an oddball and I think there may be other reasons that drove this decision in the first place in addition to the ones he gave in the post which for the record I’m sure there are some things he wishes were prioritised differently but this fork seems kind of very “him” rather than a popular position that people were begging for.
I think that's my point. The notion of maintaining an alignment, pro-human or whatever for a replicable general AI, doesn't seem to make sense. The traits of planning, learning and goal setting don't seem concordant with maintaining an alignment. I think this discussion has veered to much to anthrocentrism to be interesting, but alignment however loosely defined here isn't some constant for an individual through their life either. It can be imprecisely manipulated especially in a population by outside forces, but it can't be directly controlled.

Actions (commits) speak better than words for me - flutter managers like (kevmoo) that are responsible for PR what gonna say? Probably you not gonna hear form them "Sorry we had layoffs and unfortunately our team is to small to handle all issues for now" Same with previous google employees that are still invested in flutter ecosystems by launching commercial products around it even if not at google anymore.

I know a few couples making an incredible amount of money (both engineers, or lawyers, or doctors, or some combination thereof) on a path to retire by 40 (50 at the latest) with no kids, and they don't seem to have any desire to have children to spend those post-retirement years with. Their lives are full of collections, but I just look at those trinkets and shrug.

I'd rather have my kids go hang out with their kids in the back yard and throw a ball around, scrape a knee, cry, grow, and then extend an invitation to hang out again next weekend. But I can't because they have their "reasons" to not have children which have always seemed superficial (barring the obvious serious health issues) and usually based on a fear mindset and a desire to enjoy a life of overconsumption, leisure, and gluttony.
In my experience when a company has an in-house web dev team everyone avoids using the CMS as much as possible.
The Foundation gives its subsidiary money, just like any other parent company can.

Whether or not Wordpress.org makes money is irrelevant to its for/non profit status. It’s a legal technicality due to IRS tax exemption rules for unrelated business activities. They have to put those operations into a separate subsidiary, even if it never makes any profit.

If the nonprofit can’t afford to run Wordpress.org then the whole nonprofit was a farce anyway.
The intention has changed, Mill now explicity targets Java and Kotlin as well. It now has dedicated Java/Kotlin docsite
sections and examples, and has grown integrations with Palantir-Format, Checkstyle, Errorprone, Jacoco, and all their Kotlin equivalents (ktfmt, ktlint, kover).

Java and Scala (and Kotlin) are remarkably similar from a tooling perspective, so Mill tries to target both using the same shared infrastructure

Show HN: Basis – a production focused robotics framework
Hey HN! Myself and my cofounder are excited to actually launch the product we've been working for the past six months. It's a robotics framework with a focus on testing and production. The current industry standard (ROS) is great for prototyping, but suffers from performance and testing problems as the robot gets more complex. I would have loved to work on this another six months or a year to polish it up and really, but I know it's better to launch a bit before you think you're ready.

It's a C++ pub-sub framework (a lot like ROS, in that way), but rather than declaring C++ publishers/subscribers directly, you declare the topics and types your code cares about in a configuration file, along with conditions on those inputs. Doing this allows for deep knowledge about the code running, which unlocks the possibility of deterministic simulation and testing (along with making it easy to generate bindings for other languages, create alternate schedulers, more easily swap out internal concepts, etc). It also enables easy static analysis of the codebase - given a launch file and arguments to the launch file, one can analyze the topic network and find missing publishers or publishers that publish to nothing.
Newspapers provide facts and also editorial analysis. It's shocking that people don't know that. This event is novel.

An editorial board publishing their opinion isn't telling you how to think. It's presenting a viewpoint. Contextualize it however you want with other sources and then make up your mind. But exposure to different opinions is important just like different presentations of facts.
I can't wait for the day that we can get GaN replacement adapters for all of our old vintage electronics. Its such a cool technology.

We need to stop calling it “Section 230,” “Section 230 of the CDA,” or worst “Section 230 of the Telecommunications Act.”

Call it “Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.”

As the name implies, the CDA was an attempt at censorship, specifically an act to outlaw internet pornography.

An unconstitutional (per SCOTUS) act to outlaw unpopular speech (pornography).

Far from being some libertarian Christmas gift, the whole point is to facilitate internet censorship.

Without 230 of the CDA, third parties would be held liable for attempts at moderation (a synonym for private censorship).

It’s so bizarre that the popular understanding is so far removed from what was actually done.
That might be the wrong way to interpret this. It actually validates interest in the framework. This change personally excited me and injects some change into the ecosystem that could result in a better future.
You still have to switch it "on" which means it is emitting a BT signal. It leaves users vulnerable to keylogging via BT. It's well-attested and was reported to Apple in Q4 2022.

Ideally the on/off switch would not control both the power and BT.
If you generated that UART log with an ESP32, then ignore me! Otherwise, it looks like you found the debug port for an ESP IDF project. In that case it's not likely to use the BLE to UART Microchip unfortunately. Therefore there's no guarantee that the UART matches anything to do with the bluetooth (the ESP32 is a separate processor which could be doing a whole bunch of smart stuff).

Also, those Microchip modules are an expensive way to add bluetooth to something (trading dev time for BOM) - I would be surprised to see them in any mass produced or cost optimised design.

Generally, best bet is probably to run jadx over the android app and go from there.

That said, it looks like the FitShow module supports FTMS (standard Bluetooth fitness profile). In that case, fantastic, you should be able to use any off the shelf FTMS bluetooth library to pull data from it. No UART required.
There's definitely some envy -- the hardware is beyond solid. It's definitely bordering on the best there is if it isn't already there. macOS as a computing environment is just too far off the beaten path in too many ways to realistically deal with, which is why Windows absolutely dominates everything everywhere that isn't Bay Area web-based software companies. Not to say that Windows is particularly good, but for most people that actually need to drop $2500+ on a computer, it's probably better.
Totally– This was in the early days of open source .net, when it was still called .net core. We had just moved onto GitHub and I don’t think microsoft had quite figured out how to manage that organizationally. There is a point of time there where the fastest way to reach an engineer was not to go through a tier one contract that you pay microsoft millions of dollars for, but instead to just open an issue on the GitHub. I doubt that’s the case anymore.

With most static hosting services you can simply deploy a folder named /functions alongside your static files and that's pretty much all you need to run server-side JS.
> If everybody cared about optimizing for efficiency and performance

The problem is that most developers are not capable of optimizing for efficiency and performance.

Having more powerful hardware has allowed us to make software frameworks/libraries that make programming a lot more accessible. At the same time lowering the quality of said software.

Doesn't mean that all software is bad. Most software is bad, that's all.
+1 - The world really needs more articles on what doesn't work. What DOES work is status-building and is the sort of thing you always want to spam out because it makes you look like a Very Cool Business Dude, but what DOESN'T work is usually more revealing and actionable.
Really not a fan of the flutter concept. “One codebase?” Ok, so how does that make a great iOS app that takes advantage of the full device? Basically coding to the least common denominator.

Hire a Swift person. Hire an Android person, and build things in a way that gets the most of of the device. Otherwise, what’s the point of an “app” in the first place. Can use a website if “one codebase” is a goal.
Absolutely, yes! Then make it two or three people, maybe 10 and there are still n-times too many people working on flutter compared to cURL.

Which boils down to: Number of devs vs. people using something is a very bad metric. Even number of supported devices won't work good in this case (I assume cURL runs basically everywhere).

I think it's very difficult to estimate complexity, and then make a statement about "how many people are enough" is even more difficult. Some environments are harder and more complex, some are just very heterogen and some are both. Sometimes it's the organizational overhead, maybe even something else.
that works with water and sugar, I don't think that it's being drunk that's the problem, the liquid is just bait. It's probably just hard to get back to the hole? No space to fly, not easy to climb the inside of the bottle because of the shape (bottle top pointing down). Maybe being wet and sticky doesn't help either

I'm engaging in pedantry here, but computer science has proofs. When we have hardware level security vulnerabilities, I trust my device as far as I can throw it. Proofs are only sound and valid in maths.

https://securityintelligence.com/news/apple-m-series-chips-h...

Everything Apple's done yields verifiable security - but it's not "provably secure". The two are distinct, and when you try to sell to me with bad language I get squinty-eyed. Especially since "confidential computing" already exists on x86/AWS, and I struggle to see the difference. It just sounds like Apple marketing to me.

> don’t totally discount the idea of designing a system that has provable security properties

They're only as provable as your assumptions/givens. Given a hardware vuln, where is your security now?
> there could be a captcha-like solution that will benefit from the limited location. For instance: Select only images that are of this location. Local users will know, bots will struggle.

Hah, that is a fun idea! But it could be a challenge to implement, unless you have a trusted person in that location selecting an image or some other local funfact – and at that point you might as well implement a graph of trust, spreading out from the first user in that area. Kind of like an invite system, where everyone vouches for the next one they invite in.

Come to think of it, having a limiting factor that an invite system imposes, might make the whole concept more attractive and a bit mystical, as it takes some effort to access the network.

I can see a lot of challenges implementing this though, but it is fun to explore different new directions this could take!

An independent paper shouldn't give two shits on your opinion on what it should or should not be doing. Nor should it be caving to pressure from owners/investors to not endorse either. That's the point of independence. People seem to have forgotten what the word means.

See, the whole independence thing is pre-requisite on no one the fuck else influencing you. Which means that yeah, sometimes you get up to things others wish you wouldn't. Without a Press willing and capable of muckraking where everyone who funds them/makes their work possible wishes they wouldn't, there is literally no capital P Press. It is no longer a thing. Period. The machine and company, and assets might be there. Journalists might be running around, but it isn't fulfilling the purpose of the Free Press.

Which isn't, btw, being a mouthpiece for funders. It's keeping everyone aware of what's going on. Even in spite of people really wishing you wouldn't.
