I usually avoid logging in to xcode. I prefer to manually configure provisioning profiles and code signing certificates by hand in the developers.apple.com web interface anyways. You can use xcodebuild on the command line to get a signed ipa, and then you can use altool or application loader to upload the ipa to appstoreconnect. I don't trust xcode to not stomp all over my carefully configured provisioning profiles and app ids.

What about recommended posts, do you still get all that junk in your feed?

Every thread about Meta/Facebook always has the save advice to "Just stop using Facebook. Problem solved!"

The HN demographic can follow that but many normies can't because Facebook provides functionality for sharing that can't be replicated by email mailing lists / RSS readers / Mastodon / vBulletin, phpBB boards, etc.

E.g. my friend sees a Youtuber doing some interesting sewing projects to make clothes. To facilitate discussion and collaboration with viewers (sharing photos, videos of projects), the Youtuber created a Facebook group. That's what non-techies do to empower themselves.

Similar situation with normal people using Facebook to share calendars for kids baseball games etc where multiple families can see the same canonical list of upcoming scheduled events.

So the article's recommendations for minimizing data collection can help those people who use Facebook in ways that enhances their lives.

For the folks that only use Facebook to doomscroll an algorithmic newsfeed (a glorified "RSS reader"), that's the type of user that can "just stop using Facebook".

I keep a dummy Facebook account with no followers and nofriends just to access stuff that's exclusively on Facebook. E.g. when I was looking for a tree service to remove some storm damaged trees, it so happened that every tree company I was interested in only used Facebook for up-to-date info. The ones that had their own websites were not maintained and had out of date information. On the other hand, their Facebook pages had the most recent photos of their equipment and their correct phone number. My guess is updating their "real website" requires calling and paying for a web design service to edit things whereas their Facebook page can be updated from the business owner's smartphone for $0.

Because of non-activity on my dummy Facebook account, I worry that Meta will someday flag it as a bot and revoke access.
But it drastically reduces the number of plausible key strokes, so you might just give your luck a try.
If I've understood correctly, it might not be necessary to isolate everything in different containers. As long as you block social logins using an adblocker, the total cookie protection in firefox shouldn't allow websites to know what other sites you're visiting.

Given that European countries and the EU except a few outliers runs on proportional representation it is way harder for the extreme right to win a majority.

We’ve been dealing with our own extreme right parties for the past 20-30 years. They generally bounce between 10-25% of the vote depending on where in the political cycle they are. Like all parties do.

Never enough to dictate policy, but enough to influence when at the top of their cycle.

Compare with the US where only ~25% is needed to take over a party due to abysmal turnouts and electoral system.

These 25% can then win an election allowing the extreme right to dictate policy, as we now see in the US.

Funny, I'm French, and I know people who developed a bit of it.
It's an over generalization. The other way the story goes is that the big house with the long driveway in my neighborhood is the one that gave out king sized candy bars on Halloween.
My 2 cents: I do a bit of freelancing on the side, with a yearly income in the lower 5 digits. I have a (very) basic website and a limited, but free data service, and I have created 2-3 opensource tools that are relatively well-known in the field. My impression is that I get most of my clients either via word-of-mouth, because they need some extension to a tool I wrote, because they want to get rid of the limits of my free data service, or because they found one of my papers by chance and need something similar. If they want a quick call, be prepared to quickly answer who you are, what you have done in the past, what you offer, how much it costs, and how long you have been doing this (large customers in particular don't like to take the risk that your business will disappear in 6 months). Write these answers down or memorize them in advance if you are not the social type. I charge flat rates for certain services, and around 110 EUR / hour for anything else. Be punctual for meetings, professional with you invoices, and answer emails quickly and to the point. Don't gossip about previous clients.
Kebabs are one of the foods (like Chinese cuisine) that morphs depending on a combination of which kebab-eating group brought it to the country, and local cuisine.

I'm not sure about Stockholm, or Sweden in general, when it comes to kebabs, but kebabs in Norway bear little resemblance to the kebabs I get in London. And the UK now has a chain serving "German" kebabs, which again are significantly different from the kebabs we get from Turkish takeaway places and restaurants here... It's not that they're better or worse - I might crave one or the other depending on what I'm in the mood for, as they're almost different dishes.

So, comparing cities against each other is a lot harder than comparing differences in local opinion by location within a city.

Did you try https://reddit.com/appeal ?

A couple years ago my sole 13-year-old account was suddenly plunged into "everything you ever wrote is gone" limbo one morning.

My appeal was granted (!) but they didn't actually fix anything, and now I can't use the appeals page because it falsely claims my account is normal and in good standing. Infuriating.
For those that don't understand exactly how annoying this is, I once took the time to reverse engineer Xcode to figure out exactly where it was coming from and then inject code into it to make it shut up: https://github.com/saagarjha/dotfiles/blob/master/xcodebuild...
"I'm fucking tired of the fact that you don't fix problems in the code you write" doesn't make any judgement about the person, it makes a factual judgement of what they did. He didn't say "you're a bad coder", he said "you create bugs and then don't fix them".

Sure, he could have omitted the word "fucking" there, which doesn't add much, but "I'm tired of the fact that you don't fix the problems in your code" is really good, direct, honest feedback.

I understand that the person receiving it might feel bad, but they might also feel bad with "I've noticed that sometimes you tend to leave some bugs unfixed, even if perhaps they were caused by your own commits". When you give feedback, you should steer away from making personal judgements, focus on the facts, and deliver the feedback calmly, and Linus' sentence hits two of the three, which isn't too bad.

Anglo cultures really do tend to walk on eggshells to avoid hurting feelings, which other cultures might find tiring and somewhat disingenuous.
Script Mate – Autodesk Maya micro framework
Python can seem daunting to non-technical users. Even after writing simple scripts in Maya, creating interfaces with PyQt can be challenging. Many users resort to adding buttons to Maya’s shelf, but this method is unreliable. Updating Maya or dealing with corrupted preferences can lead to lost scripts and frustration.

I created ScriptMate because I needed a reliable, portable solution for managing my scripts. It’s designed for anyone who wants a clean, scalable way to organize scripts in Maya without relying on its fragile preferences system. Whether you’re a solo artist or managing a team, ScriptMate makes script management effortless.
I feel the same way, the benefit of testing is that it forces you to write code that can be tested, which tends to make code better just in general.

The main reason I've done this is to make myself less profitable to Meta. A drop in the bucket, I know, but the more people who do this, the less money Meta makes, which can only be a good thing for the world.

1) I don't particularly care beyond possibly being less targeted for manipulation

5) I wouldn't have thought it was a campaign or effort by Warner Bros, likely just the show itself which seems to have pretty wide editorial freedom (and obviously EFF does have a known position on these matters)

6) Good luck getting timely and well thought-through regulations through the EU / any regulation through the US

I asked this to QwQ and it started writing equations (newton's law) and arrived at T_2 < T_1, then said this is counterintuitive, started writing more equations and arrived to the same, starts writing an explanation on why this is indeed the case instead of what it is intuitive, and concludes to the right answer.

It is the only model I gave this and actually approached it by writing math. Usually I am not that impressed with reasoning models, but this was quite fun to watch.

It still blows my mind how dogmatic some people can be about things like this. I don't understand why anyone takes these things as gospel.

Who else has had to deal with idiots who froth at the mouth when you exceed an 80 line character margin?

And it's not just programming styles, patterns and idioms. It's arguably even worse when it comes to tech stacks and solution architecture.

It's super-frustrating when I'm dealing with people in a professional setting and they're quick to point out something they read in a book, or even worse - a blog - with very little else to add.

This was especially bad during the NoSQL and Microservice hype. Still somewhat feeling it with PAAS/SAAS and containerization. We have so many really really basic things running as Function Apps or lambdas, or simple transformations running in ADF or Talend that add zero value and only add to the support and maintenance overhead.

Always keep in mind that sometimes the only difference between yourself and the person writing the book/blog/article is that they actually wrote it. And that their opinions were written down don't make them fact. Apply your own mind and experience.

""I have a last-generation HP-35, which, according to the serial number, was built in the second week of 1973. It was given to me by a friend who used it in the field when he was a surveyor and it shows: the silver bezel is worn, the face has the tell-tale crosshatch pattern of over-agressive cleaning, there is mildew (or something) in the battery compartment, the contacts are corroded, and the battery pack is, obviously, years beyond dead. I’m sure it has been decades since it was last used, but I plugged it into the wall, cycled the on/off switch a few times and there it was—a bright, red 0. The calculator is now 45 years old, but it still works.
Of course it still works.""

All cash transactions with essentially no/sloppy bookkeeping. Receipts optional. Money goes in, taxes are declared but it doesn't necessarily all add up. So they mix in some non clean revenue and it all comes out as income.

The issue is that, some never grown out of it.
I interviewed with companies where they give the book to any new intern/junior.
Then, during the hiring process, they don't even ask if you read it, they straight up ask questions about your knowledge of it.
Like "What does Uncle Bob says about X in his book Clean Code?".
And they constantly refers to it.
Some people go as far as quoting it in PR.

The worst part being that once they leave their company, since they don't know anything else, they'll apply the same stuff elsewhere & convert their new company to it.
I've been trying for a few minutes to figure out what you mean by "it's in the name"... What about Internet Protocol implies that ports are not an inherent property of it?

All I can think of is that an "IP address" does not have a port component and that's all that IP deals with.

TCP/IP is a protocol called TCP encapsulated in protocol called IP. Raw IP packets have "protocol number" for use by payload, but not port number. Port number is technically part of custom data that IP layer should not care about.

If you mean socket as in `my_socket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);` that's TCP/IP, not raw IP, so it will have port numbers in the TCP part of the packet. `SOCK_STREAM` and `SOCK_DGRAM` respectively correspond to TCP and UDP. Raw IP sockets on Linux can be created by `socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, protocol);` and that will have no TCP/UDP header attached by the Kernel after the IP header in the packet.

The farther I have to travel to get to the food, the more motivation I’m gonna need. I’ll go pretty far for my favorite Korean food or for my buddy’s favorite doner, but if I’ve got a meeting in 30 minutes then I’m going to the least objectionable of the four closest places. And as easily nerd sniped as I am, let’s be honest that’s happening at least once a week, which is probably more often than I go to the good places.
(English tip: advice isn't a countable noun, so you don't pluralise it)

>small state is internally democratic and its government has to serve the individual

This has never been true, there is no relationship at all between size and democratic nature. In fact, I'd argue the opposite: small societies are more oppressive.

Neither has there been any relationship between "small states" and Peace. Again, one can see the opposite throughout History.

>disputed territories such as Alsace could become autonomous or sovereign instead

...Not even wrong.

> This mentality sounds like a recipe for building leaky abstractions over the inherent traits of the von Neumann architecture, and, more recently, massive CPU parallelism. Bringing with it data races, deadlocks, and poor performance.

No,not really. Just because you think about how to name functions and what portions of your code should be easier to read if the were extracted to a function,that doesn't mean you are creating abstractions or creating problems.

The rest of your comments on von Neumann architecture etc is pure nonsense. Just because your code is easy to read it doesn't mean you're writing poetry that bears no resemblance with how the code is executed. Think about what you're saying: what is the point of making readable code? Is it to look nice at the expense of bugs, or to help the developer understand what the code does? If it's the latter, what point do you think you're making?
Fonts with 'routed' in their names are often a good place to look for this - they're named thus because they were designed to be scribed/engraved with a router, so very frequently have a constant width.

Gosh, I never thought I'd see this "in the wild"!

I would have a hard time understanding why this finishes with the "updates" in the order expected instead of the opposite order, and I'm intrigued. In the paper it just seems to counter-intuitive to me that if the comparison is that way round then the items get swapped ... if I found this in code I was auditing then I'd spent a long time trying to work out what was going on.

Thank you.
Another annoying "phone home" happens when you try to run an app on an iOS device with xcode: the iOS device needs internet to call Apple to verify the app, even though it has just been built and signed with an attached xcode. Eventhough it is just from time to time, this is highly annoying because you can't always work on developing/testing your app offline.

Exactly this. In the pages and pages of terms and conditions, this will likely be covered, plus a lot of these services are opt-out. By not unticking "train on my workspace data" hidden several matrix layers deep, you are probably giving permission by default.

He assumed personal responsibility rather than institutional. At the time, everyone in the community expressed alarm that that happened, because 1) and this is obvious, there's no way a single guy would be responsible for the entire fallout and 2) because it sets a bad precedent about what companies can do with their PoC wrt web PKI. It also meant a loss in institutional knowledge about how things worked.
> Are you arguing that only Republicans have controlled Congress singe Bush Jr was in office?

Republicans have been able to stop congress from doing anything they didn't like since... 2010.

They can't even get their shit together to pass legislature when they control congress, but they've always been able to prevent it from passing legislature, or exercising oversight. Just like they are doing right now.
There are regions in this world where the majority of business and online interaction with friends and family are conducted through Facebook. It's easy for you to say "just stop using their services" if you live in the western bubble.
