To add: if the goal is to make a system where the yes/no answer is irrelevant, then it's a system when very horrible UX: the pop-up shouldn't be there in the first place!

This also doesn't address the obvious solution: safe and easy defaults, and an option for manual overrides in advanced "I know what I'm doing" settings.

I agree very strongly with your take. Fedora (and RHEL of course) ooze professionalism in a way that no other distro ecosystem does to me.

It's rock solid AND comes with relatively new packages, AND they are close to stock. I also appreciate their willingness to put themselves forward and show leadership when it comes to adopting (or creating) new technologies that can make the platform better. I think most professionals can agree at this point that despite little qualms and some early hiccups here and there, technologies like systemd and wayland (and others) were probably good ideas in the long run, and Fedora was consistently way out ahead in promoting and adopting them.

I also tend to trust Red Hat (and yes even IBM) more than I do Canonical for a number of reasons.
Nice and simple. Looks good on a phone, too.

i'm a big union advocate, but i worry that the traditional messaging that unions use doesn't work for tech employees.

things like more pay/better hours/safer working conditions are appealing to people working low-paid, dangerous jobs but don't really click with most tech employees because those aren't the things they hate about their work.

to win over tech employees unions should talk about more ambitious things like codetermination (i.e., getting workers on the board), 4-day work weeks, remote work policies, employee sabbaticals, etc
Given the current US administration I don't see any respect. America wants a shining beacon on their tech and offerings while my continent Europe and others has to be painted in a worse light.
I’d buy one! With the Bluetooth power use improvements mentioned for today’s watches, the tiny Round battery ought to be good for a week or more now, right?

My main complaint about Apple Watch is the size, so a very slim watch might get me to switch back. Have a Time in a drawer somewhere, but I assume its battery is shot by now.
Yeah, this reminds me of the breathless predictions (and despair, some corners) that flew around shortly after the initial ChatGPT launch. “Oh, they have a lead so vast, no one could ever catch up.” “[Insert X field] is dead.” Et cetera. I didn’t buy it then, and I’m not buying it now.

Of course OpenAI and Anthropic wish they could dominate the application layer. I predicted that two years ago: that model providers would see their technology commoditized, and would turn to using their customers’ data against them to lock them out with competing in-house products. But I don’t think they will succeed, for the reasons rbren mentioned previously. Good application development requires a lot of problem specific knowledge and work, and is not automatable.

On the point of RL — I predict this will generate a some more steam to keep the investment/hype machine cranking a little longer. But the vast majority of tasks are not verifiable. The vast majority have soft success criteria or are mixed, and RL will not overcome the fundamental limitations of GenAI.
The way nvidia plasters their name all over this project isn't right. I was led to believe an nvidia team was being paid to make this. But they have practically no relation outside of the underlying tech. They're so unclear about the role of rtx remix that I wouldn't be surprised i some people think RTX automatically "upscales" models somehow. Something about it is a step beyond how an engine dev would treat a game made in their engine.
Probably more to do with the fact that all cars, imported and produced within the EU, are taxed quite heavily.
Making your own products interoperate better than competitors' products is pretty typical and I don't think it rises to the level of "anticompetitive practice."

If you don't like it (and I can totally understand why), there are numerous other smartphone makers out there with products that allow better integration with these watches and you're free to buy one.

MS didn't get into trouble because they went after competing browsers, they got into trouble for doing that while also having a monopoly on PC OSes. Apple doesn't have anything like a monopoly in this market (their US market share is about 50%, worldwide is around 28%).
> Ok, but the cryptocurrency industry doesn't actually want "you can only use Bitcoin and Ethereum and only via direct interactions with them, not via intermediaries" to be the message, because then what are all these other projects even doing?

You're 100% correct. The Eth L2s are all incredibly centralized. However most stablecoin transactions (ie payments) don't happen on Eth and it's various L2s anymore and I wonder if the same may be true to tokenized assets (RWAs).

>Most of the software I wrote requires mostly no interference or fix-ups, unless of course the requirements have changed

Bug-free software is great, but changing requirements are precisely the reason on-call needs to exist.

Even if you have a whole team of engineers who write bug-free software like this guy, you'll still have failures. Because the world is constantly slipping out from under your assumptions.

Customers never stop changing their usage patterns. They add load at different rates, come up with unexpected requests of all shapes and sizes, and invent new use cases that fly in the face of the original project requirements.

Even if you have created a software system with no bugs that perfectly meets both the functional and non-functional requirements of the project, changes in the state of the world vis a vis customer behavior will come along and change what counts as a bug. If your system has a blanket 60-second database query timeout, and everything's working fine, then there's no bug. But as soon as a new API usage pattern causes certain queries to run on average 10 times longer than before, now you have connection starvation and an urgent bug to fix.

I'm not saying that "timely maintenance and improvement" and "a culture of perpetual ownership" won't have positive effects on reliability. But it's unrealistic that any amount of responsible, careful software development will fully eliminate the occurrence of sudden and unexpected failures. Human on-call, as uncomfortable as it is, will remain a requirement as long as reliability is taken seriously.

FWIW my perspective is that of someone that runs an on-call/incident management platform (Rootly).

Unless you can make your prompt so specific that the AI generates substantially the same image every time you run it, I think you're perpetually vulnerable to the argument that significant decision making was done without human hands and therefore the work is not primarily human created.

My estimation is that there is another competitor that they wanted to out compete ... like Facebook paid $19B for whatsapp to outcompete google. The maximum market cap Wiz had was $13.2 Billion. So Google is paying 3x times the price.

Except these are blog posts. They are not on the for-front of the gov. website. Why remove old posts that are critical of these companies? Why now? I truly believe those who are hit with censorship can look at it dead in the eye and attempt to rationalize it. Clearly the cited companies have donated to the current admin. And very clearly, actions like these are a testament to how far these donations got them. Here's a tip. I agree there are many incidents right now that are concerning. And perhaps, an isolated incident like this would not be of concern in any other time. But we are living in difficult times, and my point stands, given these incidents are not isolated. You cannot cherry pick issues you agree with and others you disagree with. If you are not concerned by all of these incidents, then your moral compass might be very different from mine.
I honestly don't care about Microsoft bundling a browser. The real problem was that they intentionally broke web standards to push websites to "work best on Internet Explorer," so even those who chose not to use Windows were caught up in it. Whereas, Android users aren't affected by what Apple does here.

They still bundle Edge, and keep setting it to default. But idc, it's just one of 1000 reasons I don't use Windows.
You can always sell them, they hold their value pretty well.

I own and use a Pebble Time Steel and a Pebble Time as my only watches. I'm not really missing anything and I'm very happy with my old Pebbles - yet, I'm still quite tempted to pre-order a Core Time 2 to support development and out of curiosity. I'm looking forward to seeing how the touchscreen is implemented. Intuitively, I'd consider a touch-based interface almost an anti-feature on a Pebble, but given their software/UX quality, maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Most people haven't met an Israeli or traveled to Israel.

Honestly, most Israelis and Arabs act the same - I mean most Israelis are Mizrahi and normal/collquial Hebrew is heavily Arabic based (where else will you here people say "Yalla" in every other sentence)

Security is a big field. I’m in the CSPM space and Wiz is a major player here, I actually had a bit of an existential crisis about what we were building when I first saw a demo of their platform.

Most of their competitors, like Palo Alto, have a very convoluted offering from gluing together several acquisitions. Wiz is very cohesive with a much nicer API and great UX, which is very underrated in the security space imo.

I have zero trust in Google’s promise to keep supporting the tool for multiple clouds or maintain the high quality of product design that makes Wiz great. It’s great for my job security, but I’d call it a net loss for the industry.
Your version would expect a list of two elements, you use & to indicate that you're collecting the remainder of the list as in:

fun flip_all([Posn(x, y), & rest]):

You'd need to amend the logic of the function body to iterate or recurse over the remainder. You'd also ended up with a nested list using your version but you can use & again to splice in the result, so if you wanted a recursive version of that it would be something like (skipping the base case):

fun
| flip_all([]): []
| flip_all([Posn(x, y), & rest]):
[Posn(y, x), & flip_all(rest)]

(not tested, don't have Rhombus available on this system but that should be correct)

If you really want flip_first it'd be:

fun flip_first([Posn(x, y), & rest]):
[Posn(y, x), & rest]
I want to get a smartwatch that has enough functionalities to run a time tracker app with the purpose of not having to carry a phone most of the time. The existing ones are all WearOS or Apple watch, neither of which can be used in a freedom-preserving way. Would it be possible to write time tracking apps for these watches?
Doesn't that also mean more potentially safety critical stuff that was before separate now handled by the same ECU in software ?

A statement from f.lux about Apple's recent announcement - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10904798 ( 366 points | Jan 14, 2016 | 193 comments )

The actual reason behind F.lux for iOS being pulled - https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/3smf15/the_actual_re...

> Sure, it uses private APIs, but thousands of popular projects on Github (like game simulators) or that Apple TV web browser project all use private APIs and they are just fine.

> The issue is F.lux for iOS is not a true source-available download. It includes a full app bundle with pre-compiled binary (which in a nutshell, is an extracted .IPA file) packed within Xcode to utilize Apple's new free signing policy.

> And to making things worse, the same F.lux Xcode project does not only allow side loading F.lux itself, but also any unsigned IPA file. The only thing a user needs is to extract an unsigned IPA and drag all resources into the project. This allows pirates to install any stolen app, without the need to buy a developer certificate. I have tested and believe this is the true reason for F.lux project being pulled.
Now come on, that's not fair. The apple pro display stand is an inert piece of metal with a hinge and some springs and it only costs $999.
>We have decades of experience that users will blindly click whatever prompts they need to make the app work.

Really, how is Apple protecting you from clicking Allow on a webbrowser if it asks permissions for WebCam and Microphone? I am asking since I do not have a Mac and really want to know how well are Apple users protected compared to Linxu users from web and microphone on browsers.
Pretty sure those different radio stacks do not run very well in parallel or if they do, they'd likely start to starve the rest in terms of resources needed.
