Well, the author did specifically say that the reason it's no longer free is because others have worked on the book and want to get paid. That being said, this is literally just an ad, especially because they did not keep the old version free.

You don't see a problem with a legal migrant being deported despite a court order saying "don't do that"?

> H1B should be for people like Musk, not randos that happen to know a few things.

QED you yourself falsify your own prior statement, "literally nobody has a problem with immigrants using legal methods".

This is a person using a legal method.

You have a problem with that.
That is because there are millions of kms of roads for cars and virtually 0 for bikes.

Plus cars kill thousands of people every day, and we just sort of accept it as a natural fact of life. Why is a bike going 20kph suddenly a problem?
I wonder if I'm imagining it but the keyboard on the M4 Air feels better than the one on the M2 Air. Travel feels "better" (I can't pinpoint how to describe it though) and the keys feel less slippery but that might just be how a clean, new keyboard feels.

I could not find anything in reviews about the keyboard being improved other than that the M4 Air keyboard has a strike-through on the speaker icon on the F10 key now.
It's not even that the labor is as cheap as it used to be but it's generally a very able and willing workforce with a labor structure where there are no qualms with automating parts of the process. The auto manufacturing race has already been lost in my opinion. Nobody is doing it as well or at the same scale as China.
I know some of the things they were tying to get, and I’m also not convinced it was as altruistic as that. But I’m not talking about goals. What was achieved? It isn’t safer and the US hasn’t made an ally.

Those things have not been achieved. If those were the aims, the US lost and the Teliban won.

On the other hand, if your house gets burgled, you get a crime reference number and told to take it up with your insurance company.
> Professors keep acting like this is some unsolvable research problem

I am a professor, and yes, it's trivially solvable. The solution has been well known for hundreds of years (at least). If only the institutions we work in would let us *@#$ing solve it!

Where I work, administrative obstacles have been erected to make it pretty much impossible to give my students traditional closed-book, unseen, invigilated exams. I have been fighting this for several years.

But I'm hoping management are going to have to cave in before too long, because students are surely going to realise pretty soon that their degree certificates will be worthless otherwise.
It is not a concept but prototype and launching soon. There will be a few other manufacture launching RGB backlight later this year.
To me, it just shows how bogus the whole idea of copyright is.

Should not the verb be "to embuggen", the participle being "embuggening"?
The US is not going to win at car manufacturing outside the US anymore and right now it's not even clear it will win inside the US or with our closest trading partners. Tariffs are not being wielded effectively to protect US car manufacturing in the US.

It's bizarre that anyone thinks the emergency situation continued after the launch of Crew 9 with 2 empty seats for their return.

It's a simple, parsimonious explanation for everything that has happened since. Nonetheless, we apparently have to talk about it.

I wonder how many people expressing strong opinions don't even understand that there were intentionally empty seats.
If your car breaks down but you decide to wait for the tow truck even though you have a backup car ready to go in case things get bad are you still "stranded"?
That was a scam used for betting. Call this phone number for your free “lock”. Half got team a, half team b. They did it twice then asked those who were winning and kept calling to pay for the next prediction.
Mine came yesterday. It's nice enough, and exactly what one would expect from a minor speed bump. Doesn't feel any different than my work M2 Air, though it's faster? It feels a bit snappier than the M1 Air it replaced, and for the same spec it's cheaper these 3+ years later.

The subtle blue is nice, it's like a colder sliver look than what it was. I'd still like one in the blue that the series 6 watches came in.

I wouldn't have upgraded, except that I'm in need of a hand-me-down for a kid's laptop.

>that no previous TV had used RGB back lights.

Actually Sony did it 20 years ago. For those old enough may remember the name Triluminos. The tech was too expensive and couldn't get it to scale. Arguably Sony has wanted it for 20 years and this year it is finally happening.
Points for using this crappy vibe term to attract eyeballs on job openings (is that even needed; there is an overage of devs now isn't there?).
Show HN: Personal blog search by author, expertise, and connections
I've built a site for discovering personal blogs. You can search by an author's name, details from their /about page, or their specializations. Each blog includes links to and from other blogs, helping you explore related content. You’ll also find direct links to RSS feeds for easy following.

Would love feedback on how to improve it!
I ordered a watch and I’m looking forward to making apps for it but I’m more excited at the prospect of making apps for a truly open phone with an eink display and 20x battery life. I think you have enough of a following now to attempt a small run of PebbleOS phones.

I know I’m not the only one and whatever gaps in applications you have aren’t as large as you think and can be filled in by the large passionate community you have fostered.

(and I wouldn’t worry about other attempts that have come
before you. Before Breaking Bad, studios told Vince Gilligan that Weeds already existed.)

I ride an e-bike 30 miles a day. It's my main mode of transportation, as I don't own a car. Right now it's in the shop for repairs; I understand well the time cost and wallet cost of regular maintenance and am actively considering building my own bike to find a better solution. Please don't pretend that you know me.
I am evaluating a new machine to replace my laptop & desktop for coding (Python, Go, React), data exploration, running containers and low resource business day-to-day (Microsoft Suite, Slack, light image editing etc.) - not necessarily all the same time but often.. I travel a medium amount so can't just use a desktop but running both seems cumbersome.

The M4 MacBook Airs are very tempting and I think the size & weight of the 15" is not as offputting as it once was. However I agree with the criticism in this article. A lesser quality display and lacking a little power (M4 Pro option would be nice).

A 14" MacBook Pro is the current draw. Slightly heavier but option for M4 Pro as well as more memory (up to 48GB) as well as nanotexture for out and about.

I love the idea of the Framework 13" machines with Ubuntu. Almost same weight as a 13" Air and with strong upgradeability. Disadvantages (to me) are the battery life on Linux is significantly less than an Apple device (although hard to find exact numbers), and even with the new Ryzen AI Max processors and the DDR5 memory, speed is much lower compared to the M-series soldered on a chip (although I'm open to counter points that this difference in speed is not worth it).

The Apple software ecosystem is a soft grab but to be honest there are options to Apple Photos which is the one I use the most.

I hope that Tesla will change its top management asap.

Imagine a situation where you have a new 800V infrastructure already applied to cybertruck and decide to update the Model Y with just “minor” adjustments. Which means that both M3 and MY will get 800V/48V when? 2/3 years minimum.

It recalls me a Nokia moment.

Meanwhile China is running.
Wow, nice find and highly coincidental!
Chrome/Chromium is not a bad browser, and that's not what the commentor you're replying to said. The chromium family all uses a single browser engine. It's bad for the health of the web if everyone uses the same engine. If everyone uses the same engine, any bug, vulnerability, or engine quirk is experienced by EVERYONE if there's only 1 browser.
Ars has been like this ever since Conde Nast bought them. It was a great publication a long time ago.
Might be a difference, with the M4 marginally crisper, or a bit more haptic feedback. Or it might be that my M2 is on a stand and the M4 is on the desk.

Also, the screen is totally clean. No dust or smudges.
Without even knowing you, I think I know exactly what is your problem. You're not reading with an open mind. Most people only read books where they agree with the author and agree with the books content. Get some books that you'd probably find disagreeable, and read them with the benefit of the doubt. Assume the author is right, and if you really can't do that, just remember that the writer is probably dead since long and it's just a reflection of how some people thought at the time.

I found that disagreeable viewpoints very seldom takes away any value of a book. Much worse is if it's written badly, repetitive, slow, etc.

Have you read the Bible? It's shockingly different from what people believe is written there. It is a post-apocalyptic survival guide, as well as a collection of human stories and ideas that might date back hundreds of thousands of years.

Have you read the Quran? Reading it is essential to understanding Muslims and their faith. It is first and foremost an anti-christian book, and the faith is foremost anti-christian. Just as christendom at one time was foremost anti-pagan.

There's an immense wealth in mythology from all over the world to read, which takes you on journeys much more profound than any fantasy book.

Have you read the communist manifesto? It is a short pamphlet, energetic and quite fun to read. Even an anti-communist can understand why it riled up so many people.

Have you read the books written by historical figures, instead of about historical figures. The former is much more interesting, while the latter is written by some dusty professor with an agenda.

Think about the most provocative book you can imagine and go and read it. It's just letters on paper, nothing more.

As for sci-fi and fantasy, you shouldn't read that. You only have one life, why would you waste it? You can and should read von Brauns book "Mars Project", which is the only science "fiction" book which should have been written.

For fiction, there are hundreds of classics, and the older the more interesting.

When I read a book and there's an interesting reference to another book, I always download that book as well. This takes you down paths that you never thought existed, and now I have a couple hundred books already on my reading list. If one is a dud, I just delete it.
That’s definitely an exaggeration. I’d bet it’s closer to ~60% green left leaning, and another ~30% libertarian, tech types. Would still mean at least 60% of his former audience is lost.
Ask HN: What's broken about the software side of car ownership?
I've been increasingly frustrated with the disconnect between my car and my digital life. Modern vehicles are essentially computers on wheels, yet the software experience feels stuck in the past.

What aspects of car ownership do you find most annoying that better software could potentially solve? Are there problems with maintenance tracking, diagnostics, dealer relationships, or the in-car interface itself?

I'm curious if others share similar frustrations or have found clever solutions. For those who've built their own tools or workarounds, what motivated you and how did you approach it?

My personal pain point has been the fragmentation - having to use one app for the manufacturer, another for service history, something else for fuel tracking, etc. It feels like there must be a better way.
Nope! I thought about it, but I just started the first bit and kept going. If I had gotten stuck I would definitely have jumped to AI, but I didn't so here we are.
Don't worry, Trump pardoned all his cronies, so it won't be the last.

Agile should never be applied 'by the book', every team is different. Agile works best when it is...actually agile. Moulding and fitting a team of varied individuals with enough compromises to make them all work together better.

That's why Agile boards can be lists, or Kanban, or cards, etc. That's why there are dozens of task estimation systems from points to T-shirt size. You find the one your team vibes with the most, and you run with it.

I've worked within several project management systems now and Agile has been the best of the bunch when it has team buy-in. It's limited to teams that have can safely predict their workload ahead of time (i.e. agencies can't predict client requests so they can't run Agile, i.e. helpdesk, marketing teams, etc). But development teams can thrive on the structure, tools, and problem-solving workflows Agile hands to its users.

Just don't buy into the cult of dogma and strict adherence that the sits on the extreme end. That's either coming from someone who is selling Agile consultancy/certifications, or it's a user of Agile who fits the process personally in every way but can't see why others may struggle with aspects (lack of empathy).

A scrum master for 10 people isn't crazy. But scrum masters are hit and miss. Their job is to make agile work, some take that to mean drilling in the dogma, others take it to mean bending the rules responsibly. I've seen SMs who are totally superfluous, and ones who truly add value like a good PM. Personally, I'd avoid an SM if the managers can handle project/product management well enough already.
This is incorrect. It's trivial to reverse engineer and use the imessage API and there's third party services which will give you access to it.
Anthropic blog has a nice distinction between LLM Workflows and Agents:

Yeah, it is transparent... that they may raise the price and undisclosed amount. There's nothing wrong with it but the terms mean I'm not interested in preordering. I'll wait until the final price is available. Why did this seem to upset people?
If someone who increasingly looks like a nazi sympathizer does a nazi salute and says 'my heart goes out to you,' it's still a nazi salute.

git log/blame have -C and -M to follow modified lines across files. Unlike other version control, you don't have to have used a special command to rename files, because it doesn't track files that way in the first place. The maximum -C can even look for sources in other commits.
Lacking power? Below buying the very best Intel or AMD CPU which needs a new mainboard and RAM, I seem to never get any PC upgrades in the region of even an M3.

For mobile, this kind of performance is insane. I usually am happy if it is not a netbook CPU, since my 4th gen i5 dualcore+HT is still up to anything I want to do with it.

You know how pasting creates this special "floating" layer? While in this mode, the "Layer->Merge Down" menu command is replaced by "Layer->Anchor Layer" - which has the keybind. "New Layer" also becomes "To New Layer".

While I can see how it makes sense on some level, it's also a whole new kind of counterintuitive.

Actually, I'm somewhere in between about Audio books.

First of all, for some books, that's great. Esp, if read by a good voice actor. It can convert a book to radio theater, that's magic.

However, if you're listening while you're driving, or being distracted, you lose the some parts of the picture.

Lastly, not all books are good audio books. Some of them need stopping, reflecting, and some re-reading sometimes.

So, horses for courses I may say.
But they earned that degree and received it upon graduating right? Isn't this like trying to erase the past? Did they graduate from the university or didn't they? It feels like just another sign of the fabric of our society coming apart.

The relationship of the Bible to history is complicated.

In a word --- reliability.

Self hosting introduces multiple failure modes making it difficult to achieve redundancy and uptime comparable to purpose built and professionally managed cloud infrastructure.

Downtime can be a serious blow to many startups. And the more important the service is, the less tolerance clients/customers have for it. For any sort of *business* service, you probably risk losing more than you stand to gain.
it's a quite common occurrence here. twitter and instagram get blocked regularly for a few days, even during smaller incidents.

discord is also blocked since last year. not sure the reason. some lgbtq stuff i think.

and when there's an event that could cause uproar, certain areas just get blocked with fences and hundreds of police officers.

it can be quite annoying for me, since i live in the center of istanbul.
during women's day two weeks ago for example, i almost couldn't get home since i forgot to take my passport and had to argue with 5 different police to let me through without proof of address. took an hour or so extra.

this happens about 3-4 times a year.

it's a shame, because turkey is actually a really nice place to live, and the people in general are very modern and nice. but every now and then, you get reminded of how good we have it in terms of freedom in most western countries.
What I find disappointing about this revision is that the Air is portrayed as Apple's most portable machine, yet it still lacks the nano-texture option. I understand that this distinction between the Air and the Pro is intentional, but it seems somewhat counterintuitive.
> Do you trust Quicktime Player to be free of exploitable bugs or behaviors?

I trust they aren't there intentionally, and that they'll be patched in a security update as soon as Apple discovers them. In this regard, QuickTime is just part of the entire OS. No software is perfect. Bugs might be anywhere. But the permission dialogs are meant to protect the OS from third-party threats, not to protect the OS from Apple software.

That's great. Having a usable baseline is important to ship it in more than a handful of handpicked functions.

But the whole approach with fixed-length instructions seems terrible to me. It takes Intel a decade to add another batch of instructions for another width, and the existing applications don't benefit from the new instructions, even if they already process wide batches of data.

The CUDA approach is so much more appealing: here's my data, and you can process it in how many small or large units as you want.
