Anecdote: Back in October '24 I got Covid. My only symptom that stuck around was lack of taste on my tongue (NOT Anosmia, it's lack of salty/sweet/sour/bitter response on the tongue itself), but only on the right half of my tongue. It slowly got better, but last week I lost taste on that side of my tongue again. The taste is coming back again now.

Anyway, I have no idea what's going on with me; it's not really severe enough to investigate further right now, and my case is only the tiniest part related to Dianna's.

I liked sublime text, but 65$ per year you can get the jet brain ide you need and it already includes most things you need and depends not on plugins from third party.

I reckon all text editors are some form of a Swiss army knife.

Yep, I pay about as much for my setup as I would be paying for a single streaming service (and they can only dream about me ever falling into the unused subscription trap), but I get much better quality, I don't have to juggle subscriptions, I don't have to figure out where anything is, I don't have to plan what I'm going to watch in 3 months when I cancel Prime and subscribe to Max, I know I won't lose access to the series half way through, I know content won't be retroactively censored, I don't have to deal with all their crappy apps, or be subject to their invasive data collection, or advertising, or DRM ... the list could go on.
I will regularly flag articles critical of Musk if they are not substantive enough.

They really don't really draw interesting or substantive comments and he already gets enough free publicity on the rest of the internet.

It's a shame this is being downvoted. It is not a trivial or "just politics" issue. Apple is aligning itself with entities that undermine human rights, democracy, and equality.

One thing to solve here, that nobody else but Roon can do, is bit-perfect playback. Meaning that your SACD rips in DSD format are not transcoded. Plex cannot do that, neither can any subsonic server or jellyfin.

I've tried to have deepseek-r1 find (not even solve) obvious errors in trivial code. The results were as disastrous as they were hilarious. Maybe it can generate code that runs on a blank sheet... but I wouldn't trust the thing a bit without being better that it, like any other model.

The river Isar through Munich, Germany, which is one of the larger tributaries of the mighty Danube, is also "unknown". The data outside the USA is definitely lacking in that regard.

I guess the names are taken from an underlying hydrologic dataset, and Google (or whoever) maps used purely for visualization.
The key requirement to solve this problem is that you can ensure that third party libraries get a subset of the permissions that the code calling them has. E.g. My photo editor might need read and write access to my photo folder, but the 3rd party code that parses jpegs to get their tags needs only read access and shouldn't have the ability to encrypt my photos and make ransom demands.

Deno took a step in a good direction, but it was an opportunity to go much further and meaningfully address the problem, so I was a bit disappointed that it just controlled restrictions at the process level.

"Meaningless subjective metric manually adjusted subjectively"

I think I know the reason: OAuth2 naming. In the OAuth rfc https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6749 they named one of the role "client", but than meant to represent a server in the more standard flow, while they named the browser "user-agent". Then people understood that "client" is the browser, so they went nuts storing access token and refresh token in the browser local storage, instead of being store in the server session storage, accessible with a session cookie.

So what people should have done https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6749#section-4.1 (you can see here the tokens never reach the user agent, so the server can keep them in a session, then have the user agent identified by a cookie.
And what most of the people did https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6749#section-4.2

> So, what we've learned is that OAuth2 is not a single thing, and that it is too complex.

OAuth specifies multiple authorization flows, each one including independent risk mitigation steps.

In my opinion OAuth2 is not "too complex". It's a subject matter that has intrinsic complexity, but one which isn't that high to be blunt.

Of course people who are oblivious to the subject and just glance at it from a distance might be tempted to dismiss it entirely as too complex. This is indeed a recurring problem in software development circles, where typically developers are too quick to criticize existing work because they don't understand requirements, are oblivious to the problem domain, and do not understand how the problems they don't understand are solved. But this doesn't mean the problem domain is complex or too complex.

There is a reason why this sort of walkthrough is very useful: those who are oblivious to the subject and just glance at it from a distance have a way to walk through the requirements and the happy flow in a easy-to-digest way. Hence the comments that now OAuth2 is actually not that complex, it's the RFCs that specify it that are the problem.

Is Boom aiming to be faster than the Concorde? I don't think so.

Their website says:

> Overture will carry 64-80 passengers at Mach 1.7

Concorde flew NYC<->LON in 3.5 hours. I guess Boom will fly the route in about 4 hours. Also, regular commercial flights on NYC<->LON are currently 7 hours.

Also, using Google Flights, I priced LHR<->JFK on first class about T+1month for 7 days (Mon->Mon). It is about 5.3K USD round trip. I am surprised that it is so cheap. I guess that route is very competitive.

I don't understand the excitement on HN about Boom. The market is tiny. This is a terrible investment. What is the global demand for this aeroplane (if they ever build it)? Maybe... max 200. Look at the order book from the 1960s when the Concorde first flew. Less than 100 total orders. Are people forgetting about how incredibly loud is a sonic boom? It is unlikely that it will get rights to fly over land, just like the Concorde. Also, it is terrible for the environment. The Concorde burned fuel (passenger miles per liter) at roughly twice the rate of non-supersonic aeroplanes.

I use it daily. I live in Silicon Valley, but house is in the shadow of a hill, and we get zero reception. If I’m too far from the WiFi router, I’m off grid. Since last year I’ve been able to send and receive iMessage texts when out in the backyard or walking around the property.
You can’t develop tech to move intoto a computer. Although it’s a good book idea.

Globalstar has substantially better coverage, but their constellation is in a much higher orbit. Starlink will be useful for actual internet access and lower cost emergency response messaging cost, but GS is going to be an important backup.

Yeah, it‘s from another era. The concept of beatiful code came up with TextMate, Sublime, VS Code. And old editors tried to catch up, but didn’t really make it.

But I have a nice-ish theme in BBEdit for markdown, and I‘m ok. I don’t code in it. Just plain text editing, using it as a scratchpad. It’s open all day long.

> Discovery coding is a practice of understanding a problem by writing code first, rather than attempting to do some design process or thinking beforehand

When you write larger systems you better start making up your mind about the domain, understand it, come up with concepts and names that make sense instead of starting to code right away. Yeah, there are problem domains where an exploratory approach makes sense, but not when you create a product or a conplex system.
Currently, it's based on live vs. on demand, rather than dependant on company:

> "You don’t need a TV Licence to watch videos or clips on demand on YouTube.

> But you do need a TV Licence if you watch live TV on YouTube."

And the same list of FAQs already says the same about Netflix, too, that license is required to watch "live tv" on it.

So if they change the rules to cover non-live, it will surely affect YouTube (and other streaming companies), not be a Netflix carve-out.

What confuses me is what counts as "live TV"? Does a professional Twitch streamer count? What about if a friend of mine streams to just me on YouTube?

All they say about it is:

> "Online-only TV channels still count as live TV, so you need a TV Licence if you’re watching or recording their programmes"

On the one hand, nobody in their right mind would consider one person streaming their gaming session to one friend to be "live TV", but since they don't define what does count as live TV... it surely can't be just based on whether or not the people running the stream call themselves a TV show or not?

The FAQ page I took the above quotes from (and there's lots of other questions, just none that answer "what counts as live TV?": https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/check-if-you-need-one/topics/w...
I also like using Sublime as a text editor for my thoughts and notes. I don't need or want anything full fledged like a word processor. Sublime lets me write in a minimal format without distraction. Every action is instant and I'm not sure what I'd even change if given the chance.

I’m excited as a non-AI techy. It is currently too limited, but it’s how I felt when I first played around with CPM programs on an Osborne my dad brought home when I was 7: it doesn’t do what I want, but it does stuff and eventually could do what I want.
Using Sublime Text since version 2, one of my relatively recent discoveries has been the Markdown Images Plugin[1], which renders images inline (rather than in a separate preview, as other editors do).

I find it extremely convenient to include images alongside text, such as diagrams and schematics for work, photos of goods in a shopping list, and inspiration collections for hobby projects, etc.

When combined with a simple web clipper script[2], it has been a game changer for me.

> It's also hard to find the relevant RFC, because older RFCs contain grant types that are no longer recommended, but still widely in use.

Why do you think this is a problem? So old RFCs specify grant types. That's ok, that's the whole point of specifying authentication schemes. Some are not recommended? That's perfectly fine, it just means there are better, safer ways to implement a flow. Are they still widely use? That's great, you already know where they are specified. So what's the problem?

> This means that if you're working on a legacy application that's using something like the implicit grant, to actually learn about it, you need to read superseded RFCs.

I don't understand. Where do you see a problem? You said you know where a specific flow is specified, and you want to learn it. You even have a implementation? What's the problem? Does a "superseded" tag bother you?

How is that surprising? Apple had no problems aligning itself with the previous administration either, even though it supported and encouraged a genocide for almost half of its existence, almost unconditionally.

I mean I agree that we should also criticize corporations that aligned with the previous administration too, but it's curious how these types of comments only pop up on threads like these instead. I guess for a lot of Americans, owning twitter, being a complete right wing moron on twitter, and supporting the other side is more despicable than providing almost every bomb and every bullet that led to a genocide in Gaza. As long as they have "care about democracy" and have the right tone, I guess ?
> Is it just a perpetual motion machine of market sharing affording good marketing which then drives continued market share?

Worse. It's a market where most of the customers are unsophisticated but price sensitive, so they tend to prefer the provider with the lowest apparent price, and then the big providers compete on the basis of who can present the lowest apparent price through the use of dark patters, misleading claims, bait and switch tactics and hidden fees.

Example: GoDaddy provides a "free" site builder but if you use it the resulting site can't easily be extricated from their service and now you're locked in if you don't want to recreate your site. Meanwhile the price you were quoted for various services was an onboarding price and now that you've sunk a lot of time creating and improving the site you can't move, the price is going up.

This is, incidentally, a major reason WordPress is so popular despite being fairly miserable. It makes it easy for unsophisticated users to get started and your site isn't tied to a particular host.
