To those flagging all these articles because of "not relevant" or "repetitive", please consider how these are affecting thousands or ten of thousands of real humans in the US, most of them are in tech. They are absolutely relevant to many people. Maybe you believe these actions are far removed from you and thus irrelevant, but have some empathy to those affected and don't try to close your eyes at least?

Also, these are as "repetitive" as OAI releasing GPT x.x. Escalation of the same event, but everytime there is something new and worthy of discussion being pushed.

So if you don't like these news, ignore them. But don't use "HN rules" as the excuse.
I guess the thing is I don’t want to do the “bare minimum” I want what I do in life to mean something. I want to work hard and care about everything I do. Whether that’s family or work or leisure. Coasting and doing the bare minimum is not a good way to live. Society is pushing people to spend more and more of their life on meaningless slop, then wonder why there is a mental health crisis.

I will say for all the (sometimes valid) complaints about NPM and the ecosystem, I don’t hear about Go.

Go encourages package authors to simply link to their git repository. It is quite literally cloning source files onto your computer without much thought
what do you think about the idea, though?
That's why people have been using paragraphs to clarify what they mean. Paragraphs that you seem to have ignored in favor of critiquing the utility that specific words have when taken out of the context the author intentionally put them in.
And this is the biggest weakness of the current top down model of governance that we have.

Id like to see a system where judging those who have supposedly done wrong is done almost entirely by the community, not the government. Government/security forces (including police) intervention should be a last resort.

The law has little gaps like this where someone well meaning who is not intending to break a law inadvertently does so.

Minorities tend to have the law applied to them more harshly.

Not everyone has safe access to the legal system, i.e. undocumented migrants.

If you are in a marginalised group and have a crime committed against you, your experience will likely be different compared to what a white heterosexual christian male would experience.

> stock iPhones run 100% Apple software, afaik. from drivers to the shell it's one company. the hardware is one series of models by one company.

> each Android vendor has a completely random fork of AOSP with who knows what kernel patches, out-of-tree drivers, unremovable apps and customizations. you're trusting an enchilada of your mobile carrier, Google, Samsung/OnePlus/whoever, plus all their vendors.

That cuts both ways though. Any exploit for iPhone works on a lot of high value targets. An exploit for one android phone may well not apply to another. If we're talking about state actors, well, probably both are compromised, but the iPhone would be the priority IMO.

My personal guess is…

I bet flags weigh more from high karma users. It seems likely that there is a small, dedicated band of anti-DF users with high karma who flag everything.

It probably only takes a few people with enough karma to kill a post, which is consistent with the fact that some posts have a reasonable half life. I don’t think it’s a formal gray list.

Wow the first one is quite judgmental. FWIW, I'm the same way, I like writing some code, but definitely not all code. Writing CRUD boilerplate for a schema? No thank you, AI is more than welcome to take that.

I derive my joy from getting something done, making it actually usable by the business side, and ultimately have it to generate revenue.
The tortoise and the hare is an important point to raise - this is exactly how I feel.

But how long before AI is Good Enough that the point is irrelevant?
I'm talking about the firms that develop AI. The entire point of the conversation is "why should countries care about businesses being in their country as opposed to elsewhere." The point is obvious that where businesses operate is important to the economic output of a nation.
How then do you explain DF being #3 from 2007-2021 and #72 from 2021-2025?
> The curse of growing up in a rich country during prosperity is that every single issue is the most serious problem your country has faced in your entire lifetime.

Oh, no, it's not just me saying this. Friends who grew up in dirt poor countries with totalitarian regimes and fled to the USA, are now openly wondering if they should've gone to the EU instead given the sudden about-face. Peers who lived through democratic collapses into authoritarianism are screaming that "this is how it ends, not how it begins". I'm hardly the only one saying this.

> And even if you're right and the US as we know it is done, it's not because of one orange man with an attitude.

Never said it was? Like, their actions certainly acted as a strong wakeup call to the rest of the world that we are done, that the era of American Hegemony is over, but it's also a long time coming. My personal argument is that this has been in motion since midway through Carter's administration, and has been its own snowball of policy decisions and dismantling of institutions for short-term gains, seizing acquired capital from profitable enterprise rather than reinvesting it into future growth.

> The US became so strong because it used right the once-in-a-millenium opportunity where its engineers would run circles around other countries.

Yeah, nah, that's a side-effect of good institutions but not a root cause of prosperity. We used to have the best engineers, manufacturers, refineries, and extraction companies in the world, until we kept the Corporate HQs and outsource everything elsewhere. We sacrificed long-term growth for short-term gains, and that's something that causes harm regardless of population density or growth.

Your argument kinda goes all over the place to try overplay how important the US' highly-educated domestic workforce was to its successes, and downplay the harms to the underlying systems caused by a rejection of long-term strategic planning in favor of wealth pumps and short-term thinking. I don't quite know how to respond to that without picking it apart line-by-line, and that time would be better served finishing my dang essay.
I see some very "tolerant" people are downvoting. You support the girl's right to support Hamas, but don't even want to hear from people who think differently.
Idiocracy in real life. The AI told me to drink Brawndo. Why? Because it has electrolytes. My AI said electrolytes are good.
That works because the length field acts as a fill pointer. In Common Lisp, it's also a common technique to empty an array in-place by setting the fill pointer to 0. The concept is quite old!

In most cases, there isn't a beneficial performance boost from emptying an array this way. One needs to allocate in a loop or do something equally inefficient to measure the difference between `coll = []` and `coll.length = 0`. (This assumes the language runtime does not statically allocate an immutable, empty array and use that to represent all empty arrays. Clojure does this, for instance, so no allocations occur when binding a variable to [] or other empty collections).

They added the Maya / Unity style camera control scheme and keymap in 2.8 (2019). This was the moment people said it was good and coincided with a huge uptick in adoption. There wasn’t some big product development or innovation. Not that there needs to be.

Blender was proprietary and ultimately purchased and released under the GPL.

OAM and OIM aren’t “LDAP/directory products” per se.

OAM is an access management product, used to implement stuff like SSO (single sign-on). So, for example, it comes with a module you can install in Apache which will intercept HTTP requests and redirect them to OAM’s login page - which may potentially talk to an LDAP to authenticate you. Or you can do stuff like define some URL patterns in an app as sensitive so they require a more secure authentication mechanism (such as 2FA or smart card), other URL patterns as less sensitive so password-only login is sufficient

OIM is basically about provisioning accounts from a source system into target systems. Those systems could be LDAPs from various vendors, but can also be HR systems (Oracle’s various offerings and SAP too), IBM mainframes (RACF, TopSecret, ACF2), Unix/Linux hosts, database tables, custom apps… also lets you do things like setup workflows to approve system access requests, you can configure it to require reapproval of high risk access requests by management every X months or else they get revoked (used for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance), etc

Source: I used to work for Oracle Engineering, in a team which handled escalations for these products-especially OIM, but I stuck my fingers in most of them. When I left (back in 2017, so a while ago now) they were putting a lot of effort into their cloud offering (IDCS, more recently replaced by OCI IAM), but I’m sure the on-premise offerings are going to stick around for a long time, especially because they have some customers (e.g. in the national security space) for which cloud is unlikely to be a viable solution any time soon
I have not! But I've often been frustrated when an agent gives me code that doesn't compile, and I keep thinking that would be a solvable problem. One computer program should be able to talk to the other

Turbo TUIs were easy to make. You could make them asynchronous, non-blocking, include sound, and if you were using Borland's C compiler, all of that was built-in for you.

They probably went to efforts to make it work an ancient system. But you really didn't have to.
They shouldn't have any but also shouldn't face jail.
Exactly this is the most incoherent article. There is no transition, only growth. More energy always up up.
I agree with you: they'd rather not. If Google's Android became closed source to the public, but Google gave Samsung and other OEMs the right to modify it (including a hard fork later on if they desired), then I agree with you that they'd almost certainly continue with Google's Android — they'd lose nothing and eliminate future competitors.

My comment was in part addressing the higher up comments in the thread stating OEMs couldn't do a hard fork. My thoughts are that they have the marketshare that if Google's terms were bad enough, they could. They'd love to take some of the Play Store revenue, but currently dropping the Play Store would tank hardware sales as competitors would keep it. But if Google's terms were to get bad enough that multiple OEMs wanted to hard fork, that calculation could change. I don't foresee Google ever putting forth that bad of terms though, in part because of the option to hard fork.

I think Yarn zero install is now the default, and does the same thing you're advocating? I'm not really a JS person, but it looks like it's done reasonably competently (validating checksums etc).
> I'm saying people don't bother trying potentially better options and that they don't easily leave what they are used to. What part of that statement implies they would never leave for a much better product? I'm genuinely baffled.

The part where you say "they don't easily leave what they are used to".

They do. They leave, easily, when there's a better product. As I gave examples of. I don't know what further evidence you could want. You're positing some supposed stickiness that simply doesn't exist. You've given no evidence of it.

Yep, the difference being Sun purchased Star Division and released StarOffice as OpenOffice.org while maintaining the proprietary fork for a while too.

Don’t ask them. The only one who can give you a sure answer is @dang .

My guess is that HN users flag the hell out of DF submissions for whatever reason, and that causes the so-called graylisting. But again only @dang can give you a straight answer.

I don't get why people think business and politics aren't two sides of the same triangle, or that economics is some holy force that is guaranteed to produce ideal outcomes 100% of the time.

Companies do business with China because it was cheap, and now because they must. China could quintuple prices overnight, and nobody (outside the EU, and even then only in part) could do anything about it. Everyone else dismantled domestic supply chains for manufacturing, resource extraction and refinement, and assembly. They lack the educated and diverse workforces needed for modern labor, opting instead for a wide chasm between office workers and everyone else with little to no in between. The only reason China doesn't do this is because it'd be politically disadvantageous, which is the side of the game they're playing right now (hence the military buildup, provocation of the USA and neighboring countries, and an expansionist foreign policy). India and SEA are years away from being comparable in capacity and scale to China, and that assumes no geopolitical instability in the region that disrupts their own progress.

Economics is as fungible as business and politics are at the end of the day, because they're all on the same triangle. Entities align to different parts of that triangle, sure, but there is no "sweet spot" that guarantees a given outcome, nor is there some magic force that will "fix" the balance of the triangle. Economics, politics, and businesses aren't equivalent to some "moral arc of the universe" argument - they're just points of a shape that everyone and every action must fall between, with varying outcomes.
Americans have a recent history of slavery. They believe since they would be aggressive if emerging from the same situation, that African Americans would be equally aggressive. Which is why most American own guns…

Fair enough!

However, he has been on the "acquire Greenland" train since his first term, and has excused other land grabs like Crimea. If anyone was surprised that the man wants to grab land in his 2nd term, they are stupid or willfully ignorant.
You can't type any of those on a typewriter, or see them in old or simple simple editors, or no editor like just catting to a tty.

If you say those are contrived examples that don't matter any more then you have missed the point and will probably never acknowledge the point and there is no purpose in continuing to try to communicate.

One can only ever remember and type out just so many examples, and one can always contrive some response to any single or finite number of examples, but they are actually infinite, open-ended.

Having a least common denominator that is extremely low that works in all the infinite situations you never even thought of, vs just pretty low and pretty easy to meet in most common situations, is all the difference in the world.

AI is a heuristic like any other. You don't want heuristics for this, you want actual data.

Manufacturers should just be required to provide a standardized data sheet for their product (as they already are for e.g. energy consumption data in EU), which could then be automatically mapped. Then you just need stores to list the barcode for each product, and you can map everything automatically.
Totally agree.

I am saying JSONL is a lower bound format, if you can use something better you should. Data interchange, archiving, transmission, etc. It shouldn't be repeatedly queried.

Parquet, Arrow, sqlite, etc are all better formats.

Their array of SNPs in ASCII letters is under 10MB compressed, probably well under that using a specialized SNP format/compression algorithm. Less than a complex Microsoft Office file.

Because it's only words. There have been no actions outside of punitive tariffs, which are legal. There's no indication that the "threats" are any thing more than words, given the lack of actual action.

Much like Trump's last term. He certainly said he would do a lot of things.
This is an excellent example. The 737 used to crash a LOT MORE than it does now, and even the version with MCAS is a safer airplane than your average 1990s jetliner (which was also probably a 737, which is kind of my point)[1].

So it's a slightly less safe (in the grand scheme of things) airliner that's vastly more fuel efficient and cheaper to run than any in the past. Obviously this is of no comfort to the families of the people who died in the crash!

But to suggest that Boeing has somehow regressed decades in technical capabilities is just plain wrong.

The problem with that is that, in practice, people barely have money to buy the house they live in and basically no one:

1) Has 500k just laying around ready buy a house out of the blue ...

2) ... that also happens to be an almost identical house next to yours.

So, 99.9999% of times it goes into the market, and the other parties feel betrayed, but the seller wants (or needs!) to sell, and things get ugly, brothers stop being brothers, etc ...

I wouldn't do it.

I also don't like the idea of having friends/family right next to me. Same neighborhood is really really nice, but same lot? Nah!
Your quote actually proves the previous posters claims that Botswana can’t keep power up on a consistent basis. If you go to the Botswana Power Corporations Twitter page, you get the daily schedule for what areas are going to have their power shot off because they’re unable to meet demand.

It’s great that they’re making improvements in this are and that they’re not as bad as South Africa (assuming your claim is accurate, I haven’t compared the two). But the previous poster’s claim that power can’t be kept up on a consistent basis is accurate.
Seems like you understood it perfectly to me.
