anonymity brings many challenges indeed. with regards to the petition and what's commonly shared in conventional media, we have proved to Apple that it's based on a falsified case that our filtration system doesn't allow, the removal's story is rather complicated and not justified and many other anonymous apps were allowed, what we were told after clarifying this to Apple was: "executives requested the removal".
Anyhow, this is no history and we surely learned many lessons from sarahah

Honestly, keep it that way. Desktop linux is designed for nerds, power users, and developers mostly. You start pulling in the plebs and unwashed masses of computer users and it will start to suck quickly especially once some mega corp embraces selling to consumers and ruins the entire ecosystem.

Ask HN: Is Figma's Quality Dropping?
Has anyone else noticed and grown tired of Figma’s increasing bugs and instability? Over the past six months or more, the product quality seems to have steadily declined. Performance lags are much more common, bugs seem to pop up everywhere, and the UI3 update felt like a major disappointment.

I can’t help but feel that the decline started when Figma announced its transition from Skew (their custom programming language) to TypeScript. Why might this shift have impacted performance so negatively? Could it be related to how the new codebase integrates with their existing infrastructure, or is it just growing pains from the transition?

Would love to hear if others have similar experiences and thoughts on what might be going on.
Great idea, as usual killed in its infancy by lacking UA UX. We even already have an API to ask the user not to close the web page, because there's unsaved work; but it wouldn't work with "Save as...", because you can't detect that, and the browser won't do it for you, even if it knows you're editing a local file.

Same for all of the pointless cookie banners - they could've been UA prompts instead, putting the user in charge of setting a policy ("always trust example.com", "never trust example.net", "accept example.org for this session", etc). But building such prompts into a browser would've been a nuisance in 1997... So we ended up with that nuisance anyway, just enshrined by shortsighted laws, that target each and every website - rather than the three remaining browser engine vendors.
> Owning mistakes is an extremely powerful tool when used correctly.

Truthfully, I believe I have this attitude to thank for why I've never been fired as a software engineer.

I'm not stupid, but I have a pattern of making mistakes that goes way back to childhood. I can mitigate it but probably will never reach a normal error rate. Any time I cause a problem, no matter how severe, I just own it and make sure anyone affected or involved in mitigation gets their due credit. There is just no sense in pretending a spade isn't a spade when there is a learning opportunity to be had, or making an already tense situation worse.

> Famously the reason no one ever used Microsoft Windows.

Microsoft in its early days invested a shit ton of money and effort into backwards compatibility testing and fix development. Up until Windows 7 you could be reasonably sure that any piece of software from the Windows 95 32-bit days would still work without major issues - even 16-bit software would run under a 32-bit W7 host, only W7 x64 finally dropped support for that.
Or maybe it could have a signal that says it's safe to cross.

Humans tended to use hand gestures for that around here. Or flashing front or turn lights to disambiguate it.
And the person crossing would often nod or just start moving.

AI could be even more explicit about it. It can check if you're noticing the signal too, much like the driver does.

People are conditioned to respond to crossing signals, why not give the self driving car one of those.
Ah yes, for dense problems like that I wouldn't expect it to work well. The example graphs in the submission were mostly quite sparse, hence why I thought of LLMs. But perhaps that was just for illustrative purposes.

There was a comment on Hacker News, which alas I can no longer locate, where a guy said he'd been called by his bank and the bank wanted him to answer various security questions. He said he was happy to do so, but firstly needed the bank to verify who they were, or to call the bank back on a telephone number on their website. The bank refused, so he refused to give them any details. The bank then blocked his bank account, meaning he couldn't pay his university tuition on time, meaning his student visa was no longer valid as he was no longer "studying", meaning he had to leave the country.
What hardware do you have issues with nowadays? I agree it used to be problematic, though lately the only remaining thing I'm struggling with is (some) printers. Then again, thankfully I haven't had to set them up on Windows either.
Have you tried the Dev Drive feature in Windows 11? It's still network mount but supposedly speeds things up.

I used to be really excited about self driving cars until I realized that in US culture, it would basically be used to further prioritize car dependent infrastructure at the expense of proper walkable spaces and alternative transportation.

we could have amazing and SAFE cycling infrastructure NOW if american culture wasn't so objectively trash.
The 6% is an average over all the benchmarks. Depending on your workload Linux can be anything from 15% faster to 9% slower. So if you need performance for a specific task, make sure you actually check how it performs in your specific case.

Have you seen how big the HTML spec is?

A huge part of this complexity exists because of the forgiving attitude. With a strict attitude the spec could be much simpler, and that means web browsers could be much smaller. The most secure code is no code.

You are right, but that's not my point. The point is that it's difficult to scale in the cloud products that requires lots of AI workloads.

Here, home assistant is telling you: you can use your own infra (most people won't) or you can use our cloud.

It works because most likely the user base will be rather small and home assistant can get cloud resources as if it was infinite on that scale.

If their product was amazing, and suddenly millions of people wanted to buy the cloud version, they would have a big problem: cloud infrastructure is never infinite at scale. They would be limited by how much compute their cloud provider is able/willing to sell them, rather than how much of that small boxes they could sell, possibly loosing the opportunity to corner the market with a great product.

If you package everything, you don't have that problem (you only have the one to be able to make the product, which I agree is also not small). But in term of energy efficiency, it also does not have to be that bad: the apple silicon line has shown that you can have very efficient hardware with significant AI capabilities, if you design a SOC for that purpose, it can be energy efficient.

Maybe I'm wrong that the approach will get common, but the fact that scaling AI services to millions of users is hard stand.

No, the Cougar is nothing to do with missions (in the 6502 versions, anyway - the other platforms have different mission code). It's just a rarely called part of the random spawning routine. Very rarely called.

I'm not Matt, but his description of events is consistent, and illuminates a pattern of abusive behavior that is often seen from that community.

I can only speak for myself, but I was lucky to be exposed to Spring Boot back in the v1.5 days after spending a few years creating Java programs without any framework. No XML at all, configuration by code, and opinionated default configuration that covers most use cases.

The learning curve was not that hard, and I got comfortable with it.

In contrast, I find React, Next.js and other frameworks more complex, and it takes a lot longer to be comfortable
I’d also imagine there’s firms using SDI video capture cards for on set/production purposes. Outside of local storage I also used to see Fibre channel HBAs and the like somewhat commonly on the older cheese grater (unsure how common that use case is now).

That's not the argument? The per person CO2 is way higher. Do I really have to explain basic things like that?
That's one viewpoint, the utilitarian one. But a lot of people simply like to use things that are beautiful - take, for example, new cars (over old beaters) or gentleman's watches (over your phone's clock). And something that is hand-crafted might give somebody enjoyment just for this very fact, not because the end product is necessarily superior to a factory-made alternative.
Most people I know are in fact rejecting it due to cost, and have instead settled for a Q3. You can get a second hand car here for what they want for a Vision Pro. It’s too much even for the hardcore Apple fans I know for an unknown, hell, I’m into VR and have been for longer than I can remember now, I have the disposable income and it’s STILL to much, even for me.

> thousands of other Windows-only printer drivers

That hasn't been a thing for me since the mid 2000's, thanks to CUPS. From the app side every printer is PostScript (and some even gained features the native driver doesn't have under Windows).

I'd imagine non-CMYK printers might present issues if CUPS doesn't support them, but Apple is one of the maintainers of CUPS and I'd be surprised if that were the case.
Just like how most people don't use a race car as their daily driver, performance isn't the main criteria for selecting a desktop OS for most people.

Assuming the performance is above some minimum threshold, of course.

> At the end of the day, the hard limit in finance is defaulting. Everything outside that is financial poetry (or engineering :-p).

You are forgetting all about regulations and taxation (and how to work with / around them). And how to cleverly read documents, and exploit loop holes in contracts.

There's so much more to finance.

(And for eg stocks or commodities, there's not even any notion of defaulting. Defaulting only really makes sense when you have fixed obligations. 'Fixed income' is only one part of finance.)

That's actually a more nuanced topic than you think. See eg https://kevinerdmann.substack.com/p/subprime-bank-runs-and-t... and other posts by Kevin Erdmann on the topic.
I'm confused why this statement stood out to you. Isn't that exactly what the court ordered? WP Engine could no longer be denied access to wordpress.org services, and thus he is now legally compelled to provide them with the services of wordpress.org.

Home Assistant seems insurmountable to beat at that specific metric, seems to be the single biggest project in terms of contributions from a wide community. Makes sense, Home Assistant tries to do a lot of things, and succeeds at many of them.
Zero-Trust Security in Software Development
It would be interesting to run each task (likely in simulation), measure the stack size they need, and pre-allocate. That would alleviate the downside of giving each task a stack a lot.

Worth reminding that lots of tasks don't need their own stack, so detecting (or hinting) that would be extremely worthwhile.
you didn't read the article.
Ideally yes no one would fall for that. But these type of attacks doesn't just rely on solely ignorance. They introduced urgency, the fight or flight situation.

I don't have the source right now, but I believe a lot of the algorithms used are set in build time #defines so it might be possible to capture them at build time and store them with the encrypted data.

Means you'd have to find a compiled lib with the exact same settings to decrypt them though.
The person you’re replying to said “hard to consider”, they didn’t say it was “impossible for”. There is an infinity of difference.

Presumably banks and payments systems aren’t using web technologies (one would hope) to do the actual payments and transfers. They use them as an interface to other systems in other languages. And most of them tend to push you hard to use their apps, bank websites are often subpar.

Not a fan of Mullenweg either, but let's be realistic. For anyone who isn't completely detached from reality, dealing with lawsuits is draining, emotionally and mentally.

It's easy to point fingers and assume motives, but unless you're in the trenches, it's hard to truly know what's going on in someone's head. Given the circumstances, his decision to take a break isn't exactly out of the ordinary.

Most people would probably do the same if they were in his shoes.
Without wanting to discredit your experience, I am surprised any of this is a problem.

I switched to Mint around 3 years ago, and I never looked back. It was a surprisingly smooth sailing, everything worked out of the box. Nothing needed any hacks (including having an external monitor without any scaling issues, audio and video working out of the box, mouse and keyboard functining properly, etc and so forth).

I had no anxiety picking distros or desktop environments, just stuck with Cinnamon and I love it ever since.

What I can say, ia that my computer works as well, or maybe even better than when I did a fresh install 3 years ago. Unlike my experience with Windows where yearly fresh installs were a thing, as the computer would feel slow and sluggish over time, as if Windows deteriorated with every passing day.

The only thing I needed to hack a little with on Linux was the fingerprint sensor thing. I could make it work, but it was unreliable, so I ended up disabling it. A very small price to pay.

I feel like attacks like this would be much harder if we had never adopted HTML emails. Then it would make more intuitive sense (for the user) for an institution to write:

(1) Go to our website

(2) Login and check your account

Of course, leigitimate emails do that now, but because of the way we've been trained to "click" (such as "click to verify your email"), this conditioning carries over to phishing and other attacks, whereas that would be impossible with plain text. With plain text, the email verification would have to be "paste this code into a box".

Vulnerabilities are related to the web being complex, and just this one quirk involves a parsing algorithm with 6 transformations of a user-provided value.
If autonomous cars reduce traffic-light response from 3s to 3ms there may be some temporary improvement. But a 3ms delay is still a delay and as traffic speeds and volume increase this delay will again become problematic.

The realities of physics ensure that there will always be a delay and it will always lead to congestion as the pipe fills.

We route internet packets at around the speed of light and still experience traffic congestion on those networks.

There's a crucial difference between intellectual property and physical property - in the case of physical property, someone else having it necessitates that you cannot have it.

Intellectual property is infinitely reproducible and someone else having it does not mean you cannot have it.
