MACs really remind me of my hobbyhorse of constructing a "felt of society" (an irregular interwoven structure is fairly isotropic) instead of a "fabric of society" (a regular structure produces cleavage axes along which it's easily torn). Unfortunately marketing (of both the economic and the political kinds) aims squarely at the latter.

(also, the english phrase "kith and kin", which I've heard Bay Area denizens interpret as "kin are the ones you didn't get to choose; kith are the ones you do")

I'd call them on the caring end: the "traditional" (in the sense that the middle class cares, and cared, about them in a picture-postcard way the most) family is mechanistic because it is so legible. I'd say in my limited working class experience that the working class is more pragmatic than sentimental and so you'll find more MAC-like arrangements (if not so far along, but certainly acknowledged more than among the neighbours of Mrs. Grundy) because in that milieu, whatever works, works.

Win-win for Philips. I don't have their hub but still buy tons of their bulbs and sensors for HA. Higher price but the best quality for sure.
Didn't know, could you explain how a French company is forced to open a US company because of EU privacy laws?
I don't want a gaming phone. I want a tricoder phone. Integrated FLIR. Mic that can pickup bat ultrasounds to like 100 kHz. The best MEMS gyroscopes and magnetometers.

Sadly I feel like a harbinger consumer with my tastes.
> But auto-correction is possible with physical keyboards too, right?

I don't think so, the mistakes you tend to make with physical keyboards are more on the "entirely wrong finger for this letter", rather than "pressed the key right next to it by mistake".
I don’t think it’s that surprising; Bluesky is quite big amongst the audience who cares about this sort of thing, and the author isn’t a bluetick so will have visibility relatively suppressed on Twitter.
The first smartphone I owned was a ZTE Blade 13 years ago. As a budget phone, that definitely had compromised performance.

It's been years and years since I ever felt like my phone's performance was holding back its usefulness to me. I have only ever replaced my phone because the battery could no longer hold a charge or the charging port was damaged beyond use.

It has a camera, web browser, chat apps, and receives emails. It also makes calls and texts. It doesn't lag while doing these things. That's plenty.

I am Leonard Somero, I run verysoftwares.itch.io. I have over 300 followers and a game with 20k+ plays that has been repeatedly featured on the front page.

This certainly changed my morning routine! I am glad to hear that the reason wasn't me deleting my Twitter from my page. My first panic reaction was thinking it was me who's caused it, due to some kind of ad revenue conflict.

Ever seen the movie Summer Wars? I felt like the protagonist for a moment there, but glad it turns out it was just some 2020s AI nonsense.

Either way, there's surely an engineer somewhere who's very busy right now.
And they are going to manufacture this for next 9 years... How usable will it by the end, knowing the trends in software.

Still, I feel it is pretty reasonably priced as whole unit considering other products from them.
If 100% of your devices are Hue and the automation it provides is enough, there really isn't a reason to switch.

But if you start adding a second brand like IKEA (their bulbs are a LOT cheaper than Philips) or Wifi stuff from Shelly, you either suffer the trap of 3+ separate apps or bite the Home Assistant bullet eventually.
Show HN: QRAnalytica – A website to create Dynamic QR Codes
We are at a day and age where information source are now once again valuable.

Before you would buy books and newspaper to get information, then it became free with the internet and ads, and the information quality quickly decreased, now it's becoming once again required to look for 'non ai', non ads and paid information source because the alternative is an increasingly waste of time.

This website it showed me by default is USA today website, even with ublock when I tried to read through the original website I could only see a little box of text between a video taking half the screen on the bottom and 'up next' thing on the top.

I suggest everyone to look for quality and non biased information source, it still does exist, and pay for it.

You don't need to learn everything to make it worth it, but when I want to know about something going on, its worth it to know I got the best of the best information and don't have to look on a dozen different website.

In France la croix is a good information source.
Hey, perhaps you can mediate the impact by providing an alternate way to access the site (IP, alternative domain) and posting it somewhere people will see it (bsky, here, ...)? Realistically , this may take days to resolve.
Huh, I didn't know about the Single Digital Booking and Ticketing Regulation. I wish something like this had existed last year when I went to the Netherlands.

I basically had to buy another ticket for the second leg of the journey (I took a bus, it was reasonably cheap) because my ticket was only valid for the French part and I was supposed to have printed the Dutch part at home, with no way to do it at the station.
We had thousands of years where power was derived from ruling over territories and owning land, until they were surpassed by the factory-owning bourgeoisie of the 19th century, who could produce more commodities more efficiently without needing much land at all.

The ancient nobility were numerically constrained by the population and territory they controlled. This meant that the social structures were based on stability, respecting your betters, to become a noble your father had to be a noble - because the only other way was conquering and taking land from the current owner. They didn’t want a culture based on entrepreneurship or independence because it was a zero-sum game.

But as technology advanced, anyone could strike it rich by inventing some new method of doing something more effectively. Someone who owned a match factory didn’t lose their match factory, or they money, if someone else got rich with a new model of loom (they could lose their factory to a new type of match, but it was more abstract, no roving horde of barbarians was pillaging it). So it was all good for culture and society to change. You could be born as a nobody and become rich through your match factory.

But there are only so many processes that are low-hanging fruit, hence why you don’t see many solo "inventors" coming up with things, the investment to see a result becomes higher and higher. Maybe in the future we will see a regression to a mean. Maybe the CFO of Snap Inc will be an inherited position and the CEO of Meta will be divinely ordained to rule. Or maybe AI will get more and more advanced, technological innovation will speed up, and we’ll have no idea where it goes.
I started writing a completely different language because I was annoyed with the limitations of JSON: https://github.com/paulmooreparks/Xfer

Comparatively, writing an alternative JSON parser is probably a bit wiser.
I have a router that from my ISP I am forced to use that has had a few CVEs ranging from not good to really bad. Most of which are years old. I can get a replacement but it's just the same model. They don't care about security at all and don't care about patching it, even though they have exclusive access rights to the router and can remotely log in to it. It's completely ridiculous.
But I do want performance :( Every phone I've owned becomes a dog after a few months, with apps taking tens of seconds to launch cold.

I don't know if iOS does better in that regard, but it has other issues that make it painful to use as a daily driver.
Changing baby diapers everyday for a year and knowing the process and at the same time looking at the video of state of the art robot moving parts between shelves I'm pretty sure that this solution is in a Sci-Fi (or Sci-Fi-horror) realm for a long long time.

I think the actual need right now is the other way around, don't build new devices and instruments, rather support existing devices.
As noted above, what used to be a cool little Wellington-based company got bought by some offshore conglomerate. Lenz himself left about five years ago.

> why does it appears as if this isn't much of a thing outside of the US?

Patents. SawStop does not sell outside the US/NA to my knowledge and they hold all the patents required.

In 2015 Bosch introduced a system that did essentially the same thing as SawStop, but with a slightly different mechanism. SawStop sued in the US and won against Bosch.

Since 2017 SawStop is part of Festool, which explains why their tech is slowly making their way into Festool products. For example, the TKS 80 has the SawStop functionality built in. But at an MSRP of ~2.500€ it’s not really a hobbyist machine.

I put on the Purple Rain album once that had been remixed into Atmos and it detracted from the sound of the band - The Revolution - it just didn’t sound like them and it didn’t sound good either. I saw them live not too long ago so I know what they want to sound like.

If Atmos was like Q Sound and an intrinsic part of the artists’ recording and mixing process, that would be one thing, but sticking it on afterwards, especially when the core guy is dead, is just fucking things up.

It’s the musical equivalent of the woman who tried to restore the Ecce Homo painting.

For decades, everyone has been obsessed with trying to remaster and restore music and extract as much as possible from the original recording, resulting in outstanding work (I like The Beatles’ Love, btw) and I guess we’ve run out of projects for remastering engineers if retrofitting Dolby Atmos is all they’ve got.
Provided you limit the charge level to something like 80% (ideally even 60%). Keeping these batteries at 100% constantly also leads to degradation, even if you don't really 'use' them.
But doesn't software exist in time and space too? I won't agree software has no physical-world representation, as it takes charges on my SSD, and if I did not copy it even once, then destroying that SSD or messing up the charges on that SSD will destroy my software. So software is essentially a piece of information in the first place, an ordered chaos of 1s and 0s which makes sense to the RISC assembly. If I do copy it, then my SSD will contain the Original information and it will be it's Source, all the rest would only be forks and copies and versions of that Original information. I wouldn't agree as well that software is an Abstract Artifact, I'm always envisioning it as a big Abstract Factory, with conveyor belts hauling, machines processing and trains moving and unloading at the speed of light the Information, or by it's other name Data, our abstract butter and our abstract bread. So my answer to the original question – software is a very specific kind Information. Information for another Information to synthesise... Information. Software is an Informational Artifact.

Software is an Artifact as much as common pressed plastic chair is an Artifact. There are millions of copies of that chair, and there are millions of copies of that software. If you can point to every copy of the chair, then why can't you point to every SSD/HDD/RAM containing a copy of software? This doesn't make sense to me. Abstract Artifact is too broad of a category to define software, as software's primary function — executing tasks or facilitating processes — extends beyond mere physical existence.
It seems there is more than one definition of 'punter'. I meant it as 'customer/client'. But other sources define it as 'a person who gambles, places a bet, or makes a risky investment'.
1. Even if you start out without tracking, the incentives will eventually push towards doing whatever increases returns.

2. Only if your idea of news is the propaganda and corporate press releases pushed these days. I prefer my news to come from impartial sources, not those extracting enough profits that they can throw it on ads.

3. It may not sell the data directly to the advertise but it must by design be able to leak some information about you. And that's before getting to full on malware shipped with ads. It also doesn't matter who my data is leaked to, I don't want it collected in the first place.

4. If ads weren't profitable no one would run them. Your paying for them by being manipulated into doing or thinking what the advertiser wants. Thinking ads are free for the users is beyond naive.

5. Being able to choose not do do business with double dippers doens't make it not double dipping.

6. No, hiding the psychological manipulation more effectively does not make it any less wrong.

There is nothing to discuss. I do not give consent. You don't get to ignore that.

Sure ... THIS is what I don't get. Non-technical (ie. CEO + board before Gelsinger) people are responsible for a technical disaster. They did not, of course, stop creating new technical disasters. Which ended in complete panic and Pat Gelsinger on top.

They complain about arrogance, but even if you accept that, it was arrogance BEFORE Gelsinger, with Intel under the control of MBAs that they're talking about.

And can I just say, I've seen some seriously arrogant assholes in the tech departments I've worked ... but for absolute incredible arrogance, you need MBAs.

I don't think performance is the only problem. The software is at least as much of an issue.

What kind of software environment do you expect when you connect your mouse, keyboard and 22" screen to a device where everything is geared toward touch input on a 6" screen?

It's not an unsolvable problem and I do think there is demand for it if done right. But it's not a solved problem either.
I read this as you having to contact them in order for them to credit you for overcharging you for a retired product when the replacement equivalent was priced lower.

Why didn't they proactively inform you that your service was retired and there was an alternative available?

It sounds like this must have been going on for a while to be worth 6 months of service in difference alone.

I left 1and1 close on 2 decades ago. If you consider this a story of good service, then I would suggest you try some other provider.
Have you tried SwiftKey on iOS?

I use it mainly because it is the only keyboard app that supports arabic well and because it has better themes. I don't know how much better or worse it is compared to the android version though.
A vulnerability not mentioned in the article is the normalisation of executing code that has been especially targeted to a specific user or specific device with no validation of reproducibility and no ability for anyone to verify this custom build and download service hasn't been generating backdoored builds.

One should want to ensure use of the same build of xz-utils that Andres Freund is using, or at least a build of xz-utils that other security researchers can later obtain to figure out whether supply chain implants are present in open source software[1].

There's a write up at Mozilla[2] from years ago describing an abandoned attempt by Mozilla to ensure their release builds are publicly logged in a Merkle tree. Google has written up their implementation for Pixel firmware builds but apps delivered through the Google Play Store seem to be vulnerable (unless there is another log I have been unable to find).[3] Apple is seemingly worse than Google on binary transparency with Apple's firmware and app distribution system targeting builds to individual devices with no transparency of builds.

For an example of binary transparency done well, Gentoo's ebuild repository (being a single Git repository/Merkle tree containing source checksums) possibly remains the largest and most distributed Merkle trees of open source software.

[1] Post xz-utils backdoor, some researchers (including some posting to oss-security about their efforts) undertook automated/semi-automated scans of open source software builds to check for unexplained high entropy files which could contain hidden malicious code. This is not possible to achieve with customised per-user/per-device builds unless every single build is made publicly available for later analysis and a public log (Merkle tree) accompanies those published builds.

No, because it's an inauthentic message. Your're speaking to your AI, like a politician who only hears about developments from his advisors. How can he know if he's getting the real truth of things?
You probably want to read this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42364033

I've never heard of itch.io before but from what I can tell:

- Itch.io is a platform where people unaffiliated with itch.io can create pages and sell video games

- An itch.io user created a game that used Funko's brand without authorization

- Itch.io (correctly) removed that page when they were made aware of that by their registrar and server host, then responded to both letting them know they'd taken care of it

- The server host (Linode) said that was great and closed the issue. The registrar (iwantmyname) did not respond, then a few days later yanked the domain.

This is exactly the sort of thing the DMCA exists for (assuming itch.io is located in the United States) and it's exactly why the safe harbor provisions exist.

It's like if someone posted a copyright-infringing picture to Facebook and Facebook's registrar responded by taking down the entirety of facebook.com.

So no, this is not on itch.io's shoulders, this is on iwantmyname's (for disabling itch.io's domain even after being made aware of the circumstances) and Brand Shield (for not submitting a complaint to itch.io first and waiting to see if they'd take down the infringing user's content before escalating to itch.io's ISP and server host).
Just use EDN.

Not only it supports comments and trailing commas, it allows to avoid commas at all (they are simply ignored by EDN). Commas indeed are just redundant and incur visual noise most of the time.

> But I do want performance :( Every phone I've owned becomes a dog after a few months, with apps taking tens of seconds to launch cold.

That's a chicken and egg issue. The more performance you have the less the apps are optimized. We used to do incredible things on very limited hardware, now everything is a bloated piece of shit that uses 10-100x too much ressources

> Store raw data if possible. This allows you to condense it later.

I have some daily scripts reading from an http endpoint, and I can't really decide what to do when it returns html instead of json. Should I store the HTML as it is "raw data" or should I just dismiss it? The API in question has a tendency to return 200 with a webpage saying that the API can't be reached (typically because of a time out)
i find that in videos of her being critical of something she describes something she likes and then explains why she likes it and then describes why the thing she is criticizing isnt that.
So I agree that naivety is a thing, but that doesn't mean you have to dismiss the advice. It's just that it's not wise to rely on one person's advice.

I have a two year old (well, she'll be two next week, close enough). Among my nearby friends are five couples who have have children that are one or two years older than mine. Their input has been extremely helpful in the last two years, because it's been mostly in the form of "these are the mistakes we first made and what we eventually figured out". It also helps that they are five very different couples so my partner and I can compare their experiences and figure out what applies to our situation and what doesn't.

Also, by comparison, I have friends with much older children too, and their input can essentially be reduced to "I'm sorry the first two years are a sleep-deprived haze of which my memories are limited to the photos and videos we took, so we have no advice for you."
> if you need that level of documentation, trying to shoehorn it into package.json is just the wrong place for it. Soon enough your package.json looks like a graffiti wall.

So the right place is to make a graffiti out of another place, instead of in the place where people actually declare the dependencies?

I find it bizarre when people believe in one true way of doing things. I mean, you can declare your dependencies how you like, but if others do it differently, then they're clueless?
