The hash chain in Git itself is effectively immutable, but the names on top of it, like branches and tags, can't be trusted, and that's what we're basing releases on. Obviously the point of a branch is that it will change, but expectations around tags don't meet reality, and there currently isn't really a way to state those expectations other than tossing out tags entirely. It seems an immutable ledger could help in this case to detect tag changes, and that's where people start throwing around blockchain as an answer, but there probably is something simpler and less entangled with the crypto subculture...

There is only so much one can make by taking a cut off of finding stray pets. Not much of a runway there and few cases of repeat usage.

There is a much more promising market in finding and slaughtering rare and endangered species of animals that this would make a great use for. That’s where the ROI on each identified animal would provide a higher yield with success rate.

Finding grandma’s cat? Who cares. Finding the last rhino or final tiger in jungle? Now that’s some open-source poaching that we could platformize and scale.

Remember when people realized that Apple apps were bypassing application-level firewalls like LittleSnitch?

First it was denied, then it was a bug, then it was a "temporary workaround" while ... something ... was updated.

I got on the apple train on Mojave. Before that I was enticed by iOS 6. It was a good platform. But now it just have too much restrictions and other weirdness like not being able to delete apple’s apps, writing files on network shares, not able to adjust system fonts (like the menu bar).

While I still keep the Mac for professional purpose, I move over to fedora.
I was pleasantly surprised to find official cuda repositories for fedora 41 for compiling llama.cpp. If you need such specific repos, make sure fedora supports them before switching.
What exactly are you asking about? Reading blogs where the author is explaining some issue that makes them angry?

Some things are worth being hostile to. For example, I don't see how one can read or talk about the war in Ukraine, without becoming extremely angry at Putin and fervently wishing to see his regime brought down.

But it is not healthy to spend all of your life angry, so you might pick and choose a couple of things you care about (especially if you can take action), and mostly try to tune out the rest. Unless you have a very good reason to do otherwise, I wouldn't look for a workaround, I'd rather either engage with someone as they are or not pay attention.

If someone is hostile to you, then except in rare circumstances I'm not sure I'd recommend engaging with them at all.

Law enforcement has both generally been spared direct cuts and had federal accountability measures removed, so they, and especially the worst actors, have plenty of reason to friendly to the regime.

You could say the same about software and app stores. If safety were the top priority, then the safest option is to say no apps, but that isn't competitive or lucrative. Apple's approach is to create safe frameworks and a review process that allows the App Store to exist.

Volvo expands support for Apple's Car Key feature
Whether or not something is anti-competitive has nothing to do with how convenient it is for the incumbent. It may indeed by quite onerous for the incumbent. The bar for anti-competitive behavior is:

- Is this stifling competition?

- Is that harming consumers?

Per the contents of the blog post, yes this is absolutely stifling competition given that Pebble won't be able to provide the same features/experience as the Apple watch. This directly hurts Pebble which prevents them from competing.

As for how much that hurts consumers, the answer is not a clear "yes". The iOS market share is ~60% in the US and I don't think the majority of those folks wear or are interested in wearing any kind of watch, smart or not.

However, if Apple keeps this up they're absolutely going to go the way of Ma Bell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._AT%26T_(1982) and the eventual Telecommunication Act of 1996 which forced incumbent providers to interconnect with folks who would ostensibly be their competition.
My biggest gripe with Wayland is screen sharing/remote desktop. For my desktop PC I could just install RealVNC and have access to it on any of my devices anywhere in the world. I still haven't found a good solution for Wayland. I'm using RDP right now but it really sucks in comparison so far.

Slack screen share is kind of hit and miss as well. Not to mention screen capture being less than ideal.
Do the BYD ones comply with European crash/safety standards?
I disagree. ZFS + backup autorecovery solves 99.9%+ of bitrot cases. Time Machine already is the easiest to use fully automatic backup software, ZFS already notices bitrot (and corrects for it in mirror/raidz configurations, but that’s neither here nor there). It’s not a hard logical (or technical) leap to assume that had Apple moved to ZFS, it would leverage Time Machine backups to restore corrupted files automatically. This does actually solve the problem under discussion (or at least, improves it for the average person).

Without ZFS (or some other automatic checksumming), Time Machine (or any other automatic backup solution of fixed size) backups with a good copy of data will eventually be updated with new corrupt copies of the data, and then aged out when the backup target runs out of space. The solution doesn’t have to be ZFS; my point was that it could’ve been, and very nearly was.
I am saying folks who use Linux do not know how to utilize their time well. It’s tongue in cheek at the commentary to the GP but hope that makes more sense to you.
Wiz is a recognized leader in the CNAPP/DevSecOps market, and so they'd be naturally attractive to any cloud hyperscaler. Google had to either build or buy a similar solution to grow GCP; and they chose to buy. But $32B is an enormous hunk of cheddar, and I don't know why they felt compelled to pay that much. The ROI on such a large investment is unclear.

Ask HN: GitHub Actions as CI with self-hosted runners
We’re considering switching from Jenkins to GitHub Actions as our primary CI system. We’re planning to run self-hosted runners on the same infrastructure we’ve been using with Jenkins.

So far, my experience with GitHub Actions has been positive—honestly, using anything other than Jenkins feels like an improvement. That said, I’ve run into a few challenges, particularly around the interface and some missing features compared to more traditional CI systems. For instance, there’s no clear way to view a queue of pending jobs across the repository, triggering a build for a historical commit isn’t straightforward (unless you set up dispatch parameters manually), and there’s no built-in test result tracking.

Managing self-hosted runners also requires setup and monitoring, whereas Jenkins provides a lot of this out of the box.

For context, we’re a fairly typical company with around 150 developers and a few dozen repositories.

Has anyone here been through a similar transition? Any advice or insights?
Taking a look at our big map of Canada, we can see that the Canadian side of the Great Lakes waterway from Thunder Bay, Ontario on Lake Superior to-and-from the Gulf Of St. Lawrence where it meets the Atlantic Ocean is a massive shipping corridor with many ports, highways, and railways in between. The land area north and west of Thunder Bay represents a difficult challenge to road and rail construction due to its location upon the Canadian Shield of mostly igneous rock. Nevertheless, those were built there and are heavily used. The Trans-Canada Highway needs to be twinned from Thunder Bay north and west to the Manitoba border as it is a choke point for trucking, but the cost and difficulty has put off politicians for many decades. From the Manitoba border west through to British Columbia's seaports the railways and highways have undergone regular improvements and are a breeze to travel quickly upon. Yes, Canada is massive, but the long straightaways in many areas allow for sustained high speeds. There are plenty of jokes about setting the cruise control in eastern Manitoba and waking up half-way through Alberta.

Having said all that, the more optimal transportation routes and corridors in Canada have traditionally been North-South in several places due to the interconnectivity of Canada's economy with that of the U.S.A., which is undergoing tremendous strain these days.

Interoperability is a commons; the market won't protect it on its own, because each individual consumer's best action is to just get an iPhone and an Apple Watch.

But the market (and society at large) is ultimately worse off when Pebble and FitBit and Garmin can't compete on a level playing field with Apple Watch— particularly when Pebble is targeting a completely different feature set, price point, and battery profile from what Apple Watch does.
Why $110 specifically?
This is well meaning advice but it makes the mistake of believing the block to engineers attaining charisma is a lack of knowing how to do it. In reality, what you see is primarily an emotional reaction, where they find emotional justifications for why this advice is not right for them.

I find what's often unacknowledged is just how much interest in technical matters is driven by a trauma response. A lot of us were unpopular as children or were ostracized for being weird and attaining mastery over an "objective" arena allowed us to feel better about our place in the world.

Asking people like that to "just be charismatic" is asking them to depart from a safe space and enter into an arena they've previously associated with a lot of unpleasant emotions. People will act out in ways that feel are perfectly "rational" for them but are coming from places they're unable to explain because they're driven by more primal urges.

For the advice to stick, you have to address the root cause which is the emotional, not the informational need. Otherwise, you're going to see the same well meaning advice go around in circles with only a minority of the field being motivated to act on it.
Sadly I think, and for some time now, we are well past the point where political action needs to make sense either to the people involved or to the people outside. The message, the narrative, they’re whatever you want them to be. Whether that makes sense - much less where the truth lies - is irrelevant.
The thing that really frustrates me right now about this is that between the two watches, basically all of my boxes are ticked, but some of those boxes are mutually exclusive between the watches.

When a product has two price points, like this, it's usually expected that the more expensive one is strictly "better" than the cheaper one in some ways. That isn't the case here, and it makes everything more difficult. Most of us are conditioned to look at the more expensive version, and say "are these extra features worth $X extra" and decide that way. With these watches, I have to try to think about whether I would use a compass or heart rate monitor more.

It is antisemitic to claim that Israel represents the jews or judaism. The ties between zionism, which is a predominantly christian movement, and antisemitism have also always been quite close.

Why is it fine with you to annihilate the palestinians to make space for the rather antisemitic project to drive jews out of their homelands? The british antisemitic colonialists didn't care, of course, they just wanted the jews out of Europe. Same goes for evangelical christian zionists, that also commonly see it as a perk that muslims die, and don't consider the much older christian communities in Palestine to be real christians. Where do you come from when you join this pretty distasteful movement?

As for "diverse" in Israel, there's a lot of state persecution of minorities, on racial, ethnic as well as religious grounds. Political minorities are also persecuted, you might even get harassed by the state for putting likes on other people's defense of international law on social media, and politicians like Ofer Cassif are constantly harassed and threatened by attempts to bar him from the knesset.

As for "radical Islamists", the israeli establishment is rather cosy with the genocidal and very islamist regime in the UAE. They're also cosy with european fascists and antisemites, because their interests align with zionist ideology, for example expulsion of jews from Europe and the eradication of "weak" yiddisch speaking diaspora jews and related historical revisionism regarding the Holocaust.

Against this backdrop and the ongoing genocide and several occupations I find it surprising that a global corporation decides to invest in israeli business on the scale of tens of billions of dollars.

Fedora uses more stock and Red Hat is a far, far bigger contributor to Linux and OS as a whole (especially the kernel and systemd). Fedora stays more true to the only OSS ethos. IMO Fedora is the better pick.

Having all my actual files separately stored from my system files just makes so much sense. Good call. Right now they're mostly relegated to a few directories, but I'm not positive, which is part of the headache I'm worried about with a switch. Having them completely separate and symlinked is a great call.
> Some features will appear first on our Android app, and then eventually we’ll add them to the iOS app. This is because the majority of our development team uses Android phones, and generally we’re building things for ourselves, so naturally Android comes first.

Up to that paragraph I sympathized. Sometimes it does feel like Apple doesn’t care one bit about me, an iOS developer. But, as a user, I really don’t care what phones the devs use. I use an iPhone and now I feel like I‘d be a second class citizen because of this paragraph. Not because Apple’s restrictions are unnecessarily bad, but because the devs just care less. I guess I‘d go for an Apple Watch instead.
