> After disabling Apple Intelligence when you do the next mini update to 15.3.1 Apple intelligence is enabled

Lemme list some of my recent nitpicks:

I never used Bluetooth that much because I had no devices either for the phone or tablet, so I kept it disabled. But every major or minor iOS update was turning it on - I ofc understand that some devices may want to reconnect after update. But that doesn't explain why since v18.2.1 it suddenly stays disabled in my case on both devices after update's done.

Then there's iOS ongoing conversation screen that never ever allows me to access springboard when I want e.g. check the notifications. It just constantly pops up like on rubber-band and after few angry swipes, pressing the lock button back and forth finally lets me in. Do I by any chance "hold it wrong"? No idea but widget shouldn't block me from accessing phone - it should allow to swipe up and hide into status bar area.

And the control center changes in the latest iOS: these little widgets are stubborn, reorder themselves, can't change the size and tend to bug out to the point of flying "outside" the grid. It is baffling they managed to finally add icons custom positions on springboard but control center is like beta of the feature that should be here years ago.

Yesterday I've got a homepod mini for all the plugs, switchers and so on. Because for few years iPad cannot be the hub. During initial device asks for few things, like enabling voice recognition, location and then there's Apple Music offer for free for 3 months. I'm not using it and it will rather stay that way but now the offer is permanently presented in both tablet and phone settings right under my account and "family" represented by me and my partner.

After seeing the predatory tactics, dark patterns in last 2 Windows releases (I'll skip Google - because that's their default behavior for years) it seems that Apple too caught the trend. But also quality of the software overall isn't there anymore - no matter which company. Instead we're getting visual changes, or doubtful features that are being forced upon us like this Apple Intelligence or photos scanning.
Almost everything you have said is wrong. Its quite remarkable to hear accusations of being ill informed or living in an information bubble from someone who is clearly suffering from both.
I actually learned something from this. OpenSCAD is good school of functional programming. There is no "time" or flow of execution. You specify static model (or automaton) which does have desired properties in space (or time).

as mentioned already, better SEO should rank you higher

you could possibly play games with CORS and some required resource for the game to run, obfuscating the code, etc; but this is far from perfect - would just stop the lower-end idiots

on the other hand, emulation is the most sincere form of flattery - it's obvious that what you made is good, and at the very least, you can hold your own head high
> No suck luck on Linux which requires using Windows's braindead Home/End buttons outside of the terminal.

Not really; I have it set up on my box so that I can press Alt + U as a shortcut for home and Alt + O as a shortcut for End (and many other such shortcuts; it's fully customizable), and this works system-wide in every application and even on the raw Linux console without X11/Wayland running.
Large users like the supermarkets have agreements with electricity providers that they will reduce their use at certain times in return for a discount.

Tesco doesn't care if the freezers in store run at 04:00-04:15, or 04:30-04:45, and will pick whichever is cheaper.

In what sense are homes for people to live in not the public sphere of the environment?

CCP and internet police are much more likely to use this logic than anti-Israel Americans. If they were, in fact, an American that was anti-Israel, they wouldn't be so riled up about defending the CCP first and foremost.

Hi,
I have over 20 years of experience as a programmer, started my career with C and C++, building desktop software. I’ve built desktop apps, mobile apps, websites, web applications for various industries working in small and big companies.
Now I am focusing in the architecture and development of microservices based applications. Currently I am a technical lead (60% technical, 40% management).
I love to learn new things and if my future employment place will need me to learn Go or more devops tools, I will be happy to. I would like to continue working with microservices and cloud based applications.
I think this is different then what the article is talking about. It isn't against adding actual features. But in many devices (most microwaves, air fryers, the Ninja Creami) they are just presets. And sometimes you can't even manually set the time/power. You are likely to have a microwave with a steam sensor. They are quite rare unfortunately.
I think the complaints have also been that people close to the wind farms don't see much economic benefit from them, and only get the negative (noise, loss of countryside, etc.). I believe that's changing though https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-business-672...
That's a lot of what-about-ism .. Of course we can and should criticize other countries, but here it's just a distraction.

Do you really think the UK is as bad or worse then Russia? Because if not, what the fuck is your point?
I didn't say that. I said their border with Russia doesn't influence that decision.
What are you even on about?

It's not invented it's a verifiable fact.

If you align more with Russia and think that Russia would let go of China as their ally when Russia tied themselves to China after the sanctions.

I don't know which universe this would happen but not this one.
The trick, Muad'Dib, is not minding that it hurts.
I uploaded a video because no one can show me this alleged slowness or context menu stuff, it's all "vibes" and it is getting ridiculous on hackernews.

I have a huge problem with windows - some api uses "@" for something, so all my folders with @ in the name(it sorts alphabetically before everything and is easy to type - on macos it's option-8 for similar, Linux I use @ as well) and because of that Windows API most applications crasb if you last saved into a path with @ in it and do file->open. Notepad++, notepad.exe, handbrake, VLC, mplayer, and so on.

Its a frustration, but it is my fault for developing a stupid habit back before metadata or changing colors of folers or what ever exists now to force an arbitrary sort order.

You have misunderstood both the concept of a memory lwak and the concept of automatic memory management. Good job!

No, reference counting is not garbage collection. I am fully aware of the ridiculous claim that it is, promoted by people like you. I fundamentally disagree. It has none of the same properties and doesn't work anything like GC.

Ask HN: What browser would you recommend in 2025
Now that uBlock is all but dead for Chrome, I'm looking for alternatives. I would love to move back to Firefox but the reason I switched to Chrome was because it became a memory hog and started lagging over time, and Safari had too many sites broken for my liking...

So unless I can be convinced otherwise, I'm looking for Blink-based browser recommendation. What are you using these days and why?
Why’d they put up fake roles though?
I've used it as an alternative to duckduckgo. It worked pretty well.
The same narrative is being pushed on Germany for instance. I think it’s quite simple.

Renewable energy is a route to energy independence for various nations that were previously highly dependent on foreign nations and corporations and there are very powerful fossil fuel interconnected groups / nations that are terrified of that.

Russia wants Germany to buy Russian gas. The U.S. wants Europe to buy their gas’s too. The Saudis want Europe to buy their oil. Wind turbines, solar power and electric vehicles are a direct threat to that hegemony.

The other aligned narrative is nuclear and I consider it to be Trojan horse to continued reliance on fossil fuels at least for the next 25-30 years whilst countries like Germany would argue with NIMBY’s and politics to try and even build just one new power station.

I believe that to be the primary root cause of the geopolitical instability we see today globally.
It's pretty amazing that an American armed forces service gave up an entire lineup of weaponry. 2021: "The Marine Corps had more than 450 tanks prior to the deactivation of the tank battalions. To date, MCSC has transferred more than 400 tanks to the Army. The remaining tanks in the Marine Corps inventory are afloat globally on Maritime Prepositioning Ships and are scheduled for transfer to the Army over the next few years."
> because they don't need a license for an executable on your PC to process and send data to the website's your visiting in line with what's expected of a web browser

You actually do. It's implied that by using the software you give it to the software to act to your agent, but you actually do have it. In court you would have to establish this behavior using context. Mozilla avoids all of that by making it explicit.

> only a license if they are also sending it to themselves or on behalf of themselves

Which again, the license still doesn't allow.
Nah, that is what democrats were doing for years. Rational discourse does not work. It is not that democrats would never lie or never get emotional or whatever.

But what Trump made clear is that rational reasonable plans are not a path anywhere.
He would like to keep it that way.
You completely misunderstand my argument with your nitpicking on a specific sarcastic description I made about the current communicative state of most AI chat systems.

In reality, even if they improve to be completely indistinguishable from the sharpest and most persuasive of human minds our society has ever known, i'd still make exactly the same arguments as above. I'd make these for the same reason that I'd argue for how no regulatory body or self-appointed filter of moral arbiters should be able to restrict the specific arguments and formas of expression currently available for persuasive human beings, or people of any kind.

Just as we shouldn't prohibit literature, film, internet blog posts, opinion pieces in media and any other sources by which people communicate their opinions and information to others under the argument that such opinions might be "harmful" , I wouldn't regulate AI sources of information and chatbots.

One can make an easy case for regulating and punishing the acts people try to perform based on information they obtain from AI, in terms of the measurable harm these acts would cause to others, but banning a source of information based on a hypothetical, ambiguous danger of its potential for corrupting minds is little different from the idiocy of restricting free expression because it might morally corrupt supposedly fragile minds.
The original Mac has 128kB RAM, a 64kB ROM with a fair chunk of the OS in it, and used 400kb single sided 3.5" discs. The paltry RAM is generally considered to be the main problem, but the Mac team were working to a target price of $1500 (which they missed), and that’s all that could afford, with the largish ROM being a compensation. A quick unscientific look at Byte's January 1984 issue seems to show 128kB as the base level for IBM PC clones at the time as well, but they don't have a GUI.

In comparison, the Lisa OS required 1MB RAM and a 5MB hard disc, hence the eye watering $10,000 introductory price.

Development on the Mac apparently started in 1979, and release in 1984 although the early Jeff Raskin era machine was quite different to the final Steve Jobs led product.
This is how consumer programs used to work before everyone got fast broadband.
Farmers love subsidies. Guaranteed price paid for every kWh they produce. Yet there is remote shutdown implemented in new large PV installations and the love is slowly disappearing.
One of Go's problems, relative to Rust, is that error values of functions can be ignored. In rushed corporate code, this means that developers will inevitably keep ignoring it, leading to brittle code that is not bulletproof at all. This is not an issue in Rust. As for static analyzers, their sane use in corporate culture is rare.
You introduce weighted votes. Your vote carries more weight, the higher educated you are and the younger you are. This could be as simple as adding (85-age)/100 points to a vote for age, and GPA(or higher education = 5)/5 as a bonus for intelligence.
Vodafone Bids to Take on Starlink
Here in Australia, there are 227 sitting Members of Parliament, of those: one in three federal politicians (71) own two properties; one in three (77) own three or more properties, and about one in three (67) own one property. Eleven federal politicians don't own a home, at least not in their name, and of those only one is known to be a renter.

I don't know why we call it Parliament House, it should be call the House of Lords.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicare_fraud

In April 2019, Federal officials charged Philip Esformes, 48 years old, of paying and receiving kickbacks and bribes in the then largest Medicare fraud case in U.S. history. The fraud took place between 2007 until 2016 and involved about $1.3 billion worth of fraudulent claims. Esformes was described as "a man driven by almost unbounded greed,".
I've "used" it in pretty much every Go project I've worked on but almost always in the form of an HTTP handle middleware.
Write once, maybe update once a year when we have a change to how we report/log errors.
Zig is easier than Rust here, but you can auto generate bindings, you don’t have to write them by hand.
This is fantastic! I’ve been using the “before Sonoma” method for years and it was constantly getting reset due to updates as mentioned. I had no idea they added a way to persist it and even included the necessary line in the template.

Thank you random Apple engineer that was probably just as annoyed as the rest of us about it constantly getting reset!
DHS says CISA will not stop monitoring Russian cyber threats
Agreed. But there's going to be "happy medium" drones that can be delivered by a long-range mothership. Price is no object when you can take out a carrier.
Most motorbike deaths are human error, not the motorbike’s fault.

But nonetheless, many people fear motorbikes as they’re particularly human error prone.
It could be an advantage for the US, but it looks to me like a liability for Russia, since they don't have enough manpower to guard it.

In case of war between China and Russia I could easily see Chinese invading large swaths of lands without any meaningful opposition. Populations in eastern Russia are treated more like than colonial subjects than regular citizen, so I don't think they will mind too much a new overlord.

Assuming they had the troops to get there, they cannot move all of them to the border with China and leave the western front unguarded
why should I? I have no idea how fast adaption rate are, we can calculate what it would cost for the current grid to be feasible and work based off of that.

Ah yeah the magical 107 Twh hydrogen capacity. How far off is that? That's a pipe dream.

This is a plan for anything past 2050. I'm talking right now.
You think random factoids are driving Trump’s viewpoint?

Trump overthrew the Bush dynasty by eviscerating Jeb over the Iraq War: https://youtu.be/H4ThZcq1oJQ?si=Y3nWQeiui8KJhj8b. Now, neocons want to chalk that up as bad execution of an otherwise sound ideology. But you don’t think that Trump’s supporters could genuinely disagree with that assessment—think that the underlying problem is that america is too willing to intervene militarily in places that don’t directly affect the U.S.? You think that view is driven by Russian propaganda?

The way I see it, Ukraine is the test case for the foreign policy populist Democrats have long supported. The Cold War is over. The likelihood that Putin will invade Germany or France next is low. Regional wars are just that, and we should let them play out without getting involved.

Otherwise you’re still subscribing to Reaganite neoconservatism—you’re just quibbling about the details of whether to involve the american military empire in any particular skirmish.
Problem with this is a misunderstanding of what a press conference after a private discussion is supposed to be about. Zelensky was trying to negotiate and argue during the press conference, with the entire world watching. All the details about Trump not wanting security guarantees would presumably have been decided during the private meeting but Zelensky basically tried to argue his case with the media. That would irritate pretty much anyone.
The EU parliament is elected with a much fairer system than the British one, half of which isn't even elected but nominated in return for bribes or being a bishop.
Ha! Well maybe my opinion has changed over time. To be honest, I struggle to call Rust “symbol soup” now or then; other than lifetimes, which is just one symbol, I don’t think Rust is a particularly symbol heavy language, or at least, not much more than any other curly brace and semicolon language.
I want to like OCaml but OPAM is just so bad... and tooling is super important (it's one of the reasons Go is popular at all). Windows support is also an afterthought. There's no native debugger as far as I can tell. This is before you even get to the language which definitely has its own big flaws (e.g. the lack of native 64-bit integers that MrMacCall mentioned.

The syntax is also not very friendly IMO. It's a shame because it has a lot of great ideas and a nice type system without getting all monad in your face. I think with better tooling and friendlier syntax it could have been a lot more popular. Too late for that though; it's going to stay consigned to Jane Street and maybe some compilers. Everyone else will use Rust and deal with the much worse compile time.
I like Portage when it works. When it doesn't, I don't like portage very much.

I'm not sure if you can "alternatives" glibc in Gentoo, but the "whatever .so you have" isn't a thing there, you can slot different versions if you need to.

If I want to test some software I'll use Ubuntu with docker or whatever, but to deploy to production I will make it run on Gentoo. Hell or high water.

Windows software still ships every .dll it needs, unless it is a Microsoft one. Do a search for msvc.dll or whatever sometime and marvel at the pagination.
Also the cyberspace, where Trump just recently surrendered to Moscow as well.
There are also interconnections between the UK and Belgium, Denmark, France, Ireland, Netherlands and Norway. Excess supply can be exported, assuming there's demand.
This is a response to search query of a related topic (I know it doesn't directly address the topic of the posting).

Cisco has a reputation for sometimes "killing" companies it acquires by discontinuing successful products from those companies after integrating them, most notably exemplified by the case of the "Flip" video camera, which Cisco purchased and then quickly shut down despite its popularity, often citing strategic alignment with their core networking business as the reason for such decisions; this practice has led to criticism of Cisco's acquisition strategy, where some argue they prioritize short-term financial gains over the long-term potential of acquired companies and their products.
