Audience as in taxpayers perhaps.

Whether informing the public directly or indirectly by communicating with the press about the products they want public agencies to purchase isn't critical, but it could be important. Having a public that already warmly embraces your company, or at least is warmly embraced by those that might be vocal in support or not, could make some projects easier to sell vs. a public that is indifferent or even hostile.
I'm used to vim, editing in anything else is anything but pleasant. It's subjective. It's not about speed or anything. I think slower than I type, so the bottleneck is not my editing speed. But ergonomically it's more pleasant for me to use. Because I barely have to move my hands, and it has very powerful movements.
That is saying the same thing from the US's perspective. They've worked out what they are capable of doing and they're working to it. The US military leadership doesn't believe they can go beyond that. If they thought they could do anything more they would.

Also the gentleman's dismissal of red line escalation seems unsound. From a game theory perspective the argument is full of holes.

If you write a lot of "quick scripts", you might be writing a lot of the same boilerplate code over and over again. If that's the case, creating a framework/library that does X/Y/Z (related to your job) might help.
I've worked with paid take home tests for a while, but stopped again. Hiring managers started to make the assignments more convoluted, i.e. stopped respecting the candidate's time. Candidates, on the flip side, always said they don't want to bother with the bureaucracy of writing an invoice and reporting it for their taxes etc., so didn't want to be paid.

Now my logic is: If a take home test is designed to take more than two hours, we need to redesign it. Two hours of interviews, two hours of take home test, that ought to suffice.

If we're still unsure after that, I sometimes offered the candidate a time limited freelance position, paid obviously. We've ended up hiring everyone who went into that process though.

I don't know if it's because they don't understand it, and that's scary, so they think it's safer for the big boys to hold the keys, but imagine if people acted the same in other contexts?

"The bank should keep hold of the keys because otherwise I might accidentally lock myself out, or lose my keys, or leave the door unlocked for a bad guy to come in and steal my stuff".

That's fine if you can't trust yourself to look after them, let someone else handle your keys for you, perhaps someone "trust worthy" could offer it as a service, but I'll keep my keys in my own pocket thanks.

> What happened to your social feeds?

That's a really interesting question. Pretty much everyone I know stopped posting on Facebook around 2014 (rough guess, but seems about right). It's not that they stopped posting altogether, but they cut down severally. The final year on Facebook I'd curated my feed to see only post made directly by friends, and I could pretty much catch up in five minutes every other week. Post was also never really stuff that I needed to know, it would just be silly things, which is nice, or something that we'd talk about anyway at some point. It feels like people got tired of keeping an online journal on Facebook pretty quickly.

It's interesting that some people travel in circles where Facebook, or perhaps more likely Instagram these days, just work for them and the people around them. Other, like myself, or my wife, are probably more often talking to friends on the phone or chatting on some type of chat/group chat.

It would be an interesting study, if someone where to find out why difference social circles gravitate towards different channels of communication. For me, the people I care about are clearly split in two, IRC or Snapchat (which is two really weird extremes).
No. All systems of law, regardless of their "democratic" nature, are based on the principle of the state's monopoly on violence, and that violence is always directed towards the citizenry.

I for one enjoy the convenience of automatically installing python versions. Yes I know how to do it manually. Yes it is possible to install multiple versions. But that does not mean I want to do it every time, just to test how things behave in different python versions. For that, it's also okay if it does not install the most performant version of the interpreter.
Problem there is Electron devs do it for convenience. That means esbuild, npm install react this that. If it ain't a full browser this won't work.
> You didn't even have to fall for a scam to get something like that, plenty of reputable software came with such "add-ons", because that's how you made money back then.

That's why you never blindly clicked "next" in installers. Everyone got one of those IE toolbars accidentally at some point, but it usually only took doing it once to learn the lesson.
As a huge Tintin fan I find one of the interesting things about it is how few Tintin images you can find on the web. I expect that is because they have lawyers contacting sites that put up copyrighted images.

Back then it felt like people were trying to be useful and to make things/places that were useful in some way to other people.

Now it feels like people are making things/places mostly to use other people- they stopped viewing people online as "people"- now people are "data" to be "monetized"

The various art forms/entertainment has also become "content" to be "monetized"

All of this has made the modern internet very cold and boring- everything has been corporatized.

The problem with bootloader unlocking on modern Android devices is that they have a hypervisor that you don't get to ever unlock but that will snitch on you and make some apps, like some banking ones, refuse to work because the "integrity" of your device could not be verified. In other words, because these apps can no longer be certain they are able to hide data from you the device owner.

Magisk exists, yes, but it's a flimsy temporary solution. It only works because it's able to lie to Google that your device doesn't support hardware attestation. As soon as Google starts requiring that all devices support hardware attestation, it will stop working.

Show HN: Cadence – convert any long form content into byte-sized texts
Hey HN,

I am a CS junior at the University of Waterloo, and like many other students my age, I struggle with attention deficit (aka "TikTok brain").

This applies to anyone with a busy schedule though. Ever left a tab open for weeks because "I'll read it later"? Or maybe there's a podcast you can't commit to because it’s too long, or a research paper you read ages ago but can’t remember the details?

Over the past week, I’ve been heads-down building Cadence, a tool that turns those long-form pieces of content—PDFs, YouTube videos, articles, podcasts, and more—into short, digestible text messages sent directly to your inbox.

Here’s why I built it:

- I have a classic case of "TikTok brain" and struggle with long-form content.
- I wanted something to help me keep learning or revisiting important info without sacrificing hours of my day.
- And let’s face it, we all have tabs that we swear we’ll get back to… someday.

Cadence is perfect for people with short attention spans (like me) or anyone with a busy schedule who still wants to learn and stay on top of things.

Try Cadence here: https://getcadence.fyi

Would love your feedback! I’m here to answer questions and talk about the tech behind it.

What do you think? Could Cadence help you finally close some of those tabs?

Ask HN: Is creating a CV in Figma a bad idea?
I used to write my CV in LaTeX but I recently had the idea of just doing in Figma since it's so much more flexible. And it exports to PDF, obviously.

I wanted to create a bunch of free templates for people to use.

But I've seen some comments on here that suggest this will produce an unparse-able PDF that will fail many automatic job portals. Is that true?

Right, that’s the toupée fallacy.

https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Toupee_fallacy

You only know about the people who let you know. You have no idea how many vegans or airplane pilots you encounter regularly who never tell you. A small sample is driving the reputation of the whole.

For people with whom you talk every day, it’s no surprise that you know. It’s bound to come up but I doubt it happened on your first conversation with everyone. If it did, you were hanging out with a weird group. If they knew each other, it’s normal that they’d talk about a shared interest. Just like people who hang out on HN would be likely to discuss tech when meeting in person.

I have no doubt you found your share of asshole vegans, just like there are assholes who make it a point to make everyone know they eat meat.

Though it is important to distinguish a true asshole from someone simply sharing an experience. Saying “no, thanks, I’m vegan” when offered a bite of a meat sandwich is not bragging, it’s context. Unfortunately, too many people take it to be a judgement when it most often is not.

This is a workaround for a hardware bug of a certain CPU.

Therefore it cannot really be portable, because other timers in other devices will have different memory maps and different commands for reading.

The fault is with the designers of these timers, who have failed to provide a reliable way to read their value.

It in hard to believe that this still happens in this century, because reading correct values despite the fact that the timer is incremented or decremented continuously is an essential goal in the design of any timer that may be read, and how to do it has been well known for more than 3 quarters of century.

The only way to make such a workaround somewhat portable is to parametrize it, e.g. with the number of retries for direct reading or with the delay time when reading the auxiliary register. This may be portable between different revisions of the same buggy timer, but the buggy timers in other unrelated CPU designs will need different workarounds anyway.
> Mark Zuckerberg recently announced that Meta is ditching its fact-checkers

There is a global recession coming, everybody is trimming the fat where possible, all tech industries are cutting where possible. I think it can be reasonably argued that the very nature of fact-checking is a dangerous one anyway - by nature of which facts are used (perspective problem) and what gets checked.

> Meta is teaming up with Trump to fight EU regulations affecting their platforms

Why is this a problem? What specific EU regulation being removed causes issue? The ones that curtail freedom of speech? The EU is a largely undemocratic body, where significant positions are not even voted on. Do you really want to be controlled by this unaccountable body?

> Recently, he hosted a live chat on Twitter with Alice Weidel, the co-leader of Germany’s AfD, a party flagged by the “Verfassungsschutz” as a far-right extremist group.

It's the only popular right wing party that has been allowed to exist, and they picked up a large range of unrepresented voters. A unified block of right wing voters is exactly the situation created by trying to suppress an entire wing of politics. The right-wing party of Germany is technically somewhat ideologically aligned with the government Elon will be working for - this is far from crazy that they talk to each other.

> Alice Weidel claimed that Nazi leader Adolf Hitler was not "right-wing," but a communist instead.

When you get to such extremes, the difference between fascism and communism become difficult to see. Putting people in death camps for example, are we talking about the concentration camps or gulags? Extreme nationalism is unique to which ideology? Which ideology was uniquely a dictatorship?

The trick is to know your limitations and account for them. I don't use social media on my work computer at all, and until recently I didn't even have any chat apps. These were all relegated to my phone, and it's purposefully slow and old.

Did the author make this article compulsory?

Did the author force Hacker News to put this on the front page?

Freedom of speech means that you will see things that you disagree with. But to conflate seeing an article in a _pull_ model, ie a title that you have to click on as hectoring people seems a bit, well far.

Its not like its a twitter pile on, this seems like a well reasoned, researched article with sited sources. Even if you don't agree with the outcomes.

It's a fascinating tech/social experiment. It belongs on HN because it was done and the outcome is what it is.

I would imagine those are actually counterproductive. Typically when code quality becomes too important developers are too opinionated about the wrong things.

The big exception, though, is having a super solid foundation because you will need the ability to pivot in the shortest time without risk of regression and without burning cash. I suspect these factors are what kill most technical founders.
