If you're not prepared to listen to an expert, and that's what your dentist is on this topic, then nothing I, or anyone else can say, makes any difference to you.

At some point, you have to accept that your random wikipedia page and 5 minutes on google is not a convincing argument.

This is right up there in the conspiracy theory territory.

Rational discussion means listening to experts and admitting that you are not an expert.

What do you want me to say?

You aren't a qualified expert on this topic. If you want an expert opinion, talk to an expert, not some dubious fucking provenance wikipedia page.
Two of the most hilarious things I've seen are tips at self-serve kiosks, and tips where you carry the food to the person behind the counter. Tipping them for ringing up an item..
So… people have literally already been deported to jails in El Salvador without due process, with the government claiming that they are from a Venezuelan gang. Others have had green cards revoked and been arrested for deportation for the crime of criticizing Israel. At this point it’s hard to see how worrying about a lack of habeus corpus is an exaggeration.
I think there's a difference between code you don't understand and code that's "unimportant" / you don't care about.
Make a little demo site that shows off the things you know how to do.

Yep, been using csvkit for years and it's so great. There's nothing I haven't been able to do, is there some reason to use Xan instead?
Most places in Utah already don't add flouride to water. So why pass a law to ban it?
That loophole was published 5 years ago, it hasnt been fixed since.

Do you need someone from Google to explicitly write an official note, notarized, indicating they are refusing to fix it?
One example of where software prototyping helped me was deciding which library or framework to use. At my job, I had the option of two different Futures libraries to handle async, and I had to chose which to start using.

And I went off to write like a quick version using each and when I got to trying to handle consuming pagnated responses, it was a terrible terrible fit for one of the frameworks, and required only like 20 lines in the other.

I then took that back to the planning phase and used that to decide how the entire application was going to be structured, as we didn't want two competing frameworks.
Before you splurge on hardware to extract data it would be much cheaper and faster to just buy it in Shenzhen.

Definitely a risk.

I knew a guy who basically got internet access at his apartment in college via his local DOT. The message signs on the boulevard he worked on were just cellular mifi units with open or default credentials. Not super fast, but the price was right.
I've found it much easier to use from writing a web service to writing a high performance DB that outperforms RocksDB and clearly people are using it for things like writing operating systems as well as game engines. I'm not sure what in your mind falls under "advanced projects" but I suspect it's something like number crunching (although you link StringZilla so not sure).

I'm still not seeing any description of specific challenges you feel are harder in Rust than in C/C++. In my mind Rust is completely equivalent in being able to accomplish the same tasks.
Based on the chiplab devboard, it's actually a 65c02. There is a difference. A lot of differences, actually.

This applies to learning as well. I find when I learn with an actual context for learning and its not just 'learning time' I usually have a much better time.
How has it been “solved?” There’s just tradeoffs.

There’s evidence that despite widespread availability of fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash, fluoridated drinking water improves dental outcomes at the population level.

There’s also evidence that at high levels (not the normal levels it is added at, but at higher levels which can happen on accident) fluoride may reduce IQ.

I’m ok with either trade off but the “solved” phrasing makes it sound like there is an obviously superior choice.

Lots of people pencil sketch before they paint. It's not at all odd to whip up a prototype, a sketch of the final product. You could do that with pen an paper, in Figma, code vibe it, or whatever solution is quick and dirt for you.

I've worked directly on consumer software used by hundreds of millions of users and many people I worked with prototyped in various ways before scrapping it to write production code.
Folks are being deported now without going in front of a judge. Let's stipulate without reservation that the US has the right to deport them expeditiously. Let's buy everything the administration says about how bad these folks are and how important it is to remove them immediately.

However, it is still important for these folks to go in front of a judge because the government has a responsibility to show evidence that the people they plan to deport are who they say they are, that this collection of atoms is the person named X. If Person X says they should not be deported because they are a citizen, a court is the proper place to adjudicate that. Let Person X bring purported proof of citizenship, let the court assess the validity of such proof. ICE and other law enforcement agents are not equipped to do any of this in a neutral fashion.

A key objection right now is that we are skipping this long-established legal process because it is too slow to serve political ends. (It is slow in part because we don't care enough to spend more money to make it faster.)

Without bringing folks before a judge, all of this gets short-circuited. The inevitable result of skipping judicial adjudication at scale will be that US citizens will end up in foreign prisons with their only recourse being lucky enough to have people in the US going to extreme lengths to locate them and find a sympathetic court. This is quite literally the entire point of habeas corpus, the reason why it has been part of English legal tradition for nearly 1000 years (US inherited this via English Common Law).

It's not going to end well that an allegation can have someone rapidly deported, without that person having the chance to e.g. show their proof of citizenship.

Edit: Most people do not carry proof of citizenship on their person. Most US driver's licenses, even REAL IDs, do not display citizenship status. For example, Georgia does not accept REAL IDs issued by Georgia as proof of citizenship. Further, a person walking on the street (or in their home) may not even be carrying their ID. We have judicial processes because courtrooms are neater than the messy processes that occur in the field.
Apple calls these Smart App Banners. Webkit cooperates with iOS to present them according to a meta tag in the page:

You can get rid of them with the Unsmartifier extension.

The StopTheMadness extension can also remove them (among many other things... this extension is a must have for me):

> If you're not prepared to listen to an expert

Who do you think conducted those peer-reviewed systematic reviews? I'm sorry if I don't take the word of some random guy's dentist over multiple meta analyses in major medical journals.

And I don't need an expert to tell me people should have the right to make their own medical decisions.

And finally, I live in a country where public health experts have decided against water fluoridation. This is represents the vast majority of countries. What now? Should I pick some other experts to listen to?
Between the two, I'd choose MS-DOS based product all the time, especially if this was _just_ MS-DOS, no 3rd-party drivers.

MS-DOS is actually amazingly small by modern measures, it offers less features than many modern RTOS'es - it's basically file system, program loader and _maybe_ some interface points for 3rd party drivers. Display, audio, external devices - it's all up to your software to decide. Your MS-DOS display driver will never break because MS-DOS does not provide display drivers.

This is good for keeping things running as long as you don't need to upgrade hardware.
Doing video editing full-time over remote desktop must be painful. Perhaps a 20% productivity hit from that decision alone?

Kinda surprised professional video editing software hasn't been designed with this exact use case in mind - ie. A worker running local software doing editing, but then a remote server with tens of Tbytes of storage and high power GPU's.

The software would do standard definition and basic rendering fast locally, and simultaneously request the 8k data be rendered remotely and downloaded so a full fidelity preview can be seen after a few seconds.
That answer is a laugh. I quite liked my Vizio when I bought it. After a few updates, I vowed never to buy Vizio again and to recommend against them to anyone who asked.

Now, it constantly nags me to buy a new remote, aggressively changes to an ad screen the moment you disconnect an input, and runs more slowly than before. Great job, Vizio!
You're not wrong in that our culture is different, but that cultural difference is chiefly a self fulfilling prophecy of "the government can't do it," promoted by billionaire owned media, so that those same billionaires can run for-profit industries like healthcare and transportation.

The cultural difference is that our rich people are too rich, our media is too centralized, and none of those in power want to enrich and empower the country, when they could enrich and empower themselves.
Which part here exactly cannot work in the US? I am talking about brushing one's teeth with toothpaste containing fluoride, which sounds as plain simple as possible to me. Is it regular brushing teeth that fails in the US for cultural reasons? Fluoride in the toothpaste? Supervising kids while brushing their teeth to make sure they do not swallow? It is an honest question.
Linux feels a bit different since the complete system is not controlled by a single vendor. You have multiple distributions with their own kernel versions, libc versions, library dependencies, etc.

Mac OS has solved this but that is obviously a single vendor. FreeBSD has decent backwards compatibility (through the -compat packages), but that is also a single vendor.
Umm... that doesn't isolate you in any meaningful way because you're surrounding OS is still the container with a base image from Linux years ago?
I'm partial to the detached anti-culture war ideaplex myself but I've got a radically different conclusion-- I want them to kill each other. You know, like one of those brutal chess games where there's like 6 pieces on the board by turn 20 sorta bloodbath that you'd need to resurrect someone like Livy to properly describe. I think we'd have a post-WW2 style golden age with all the partisans safely entombed under six feet of earth.

The worst stance of all of course is demonstrated over and over in this thread and HN in general where you have people calling Trump the second coming of Hitler, yet are too fat and comfortable to find the courage to have their actions match their words.

So we'll be getting these types of threads about how HNers need to be carrying burner phones for the next four years -- may god grant us some Sorelian heroes before then.

Community likeness of Oracle has been missing for a while. Will Postgres, MySQL, or MongoDB ever be considered for similar EMS use cases? What FOSS product can replace Oracle today because there just hasn't been much replacing of high scaled Oracle anywhere except at Amazon? Every single medical provider today relies on Oracle.
The world is now complicated. Simple people can't fathom it, and they make bad decisions because they're incapable of understanding the rules of they game they're stuck playing. Furthermore, not all clever people are kind and some will happily take advantage of the disparity in intellect.

I understand the allure of the simple answer, but "Trade schools are good enough, we need more plumbers anyhow!" only works until Joe the Plumber has to sign a contract, read a EULA, or steer the fate of our entire nation by voting.
> While the Linux syscalls themselves are very stable and reliable, the c library on top of them is not.

Maybe just don't use that library then? Or don't do that ridiculous thing where you fumble around at runtime desperately looking for executable pages that should just be included in your binary.
Sounds like a job for Pi-hole.
According to these "it lowers kids IQ" people, is the average IQ of Hawaiian kids higher than other states?
Probably because the overwhelming majority of countries chlorinates their water to various degrees because they don't have the exceptional plumbing quality needed to otherwise guarantee potability.

Countries where the tap water is drinkable without chlorination have quality that exceeds bottled water, and it might even be sourced from the same aquifers.
Hey man what’s your problem?
It's definitely less ergonomic but I successfully trained my extremely non-technical wife to use a VNC client on her phone to control the media center PC so she can watch streaming/youtube with an adblocking browser.

If you go to the trouble of setting up a media server and Kodi/Plex on the TV, and install a barebones launcher that avoids all the ads on the official launcher, the remote still works well. I don't know whether to blame Sony or Google but every system update brought bigger and bigger ads to the point that I took an afternoon off to sideload an extremely plain ad-free launcher.
As noted in another reply, some smart TVs require an initial internet connection. I suspect we'll see more and more of them also refuse to work without a persistent connection. After all, if you're already just using streaming apps on the TV, then you're probably also connected to the internet, so the whole 'no TV without internet' thing won't bother most consumers.

And even if you don't connect it to your wifi, do you trust that everyone who uses your TV will remember to not do that?

There's also speculation that some manufacturers were looking into ways to piggyback ads and tracking onto public Wifi. For example, if you're in the US and you're near anyone who has Xfinity/Comcast service and haven't disabled the open hotspot, if that is even possible nowadays, there's a possibility that the TV might try to connect to the open hotspot. I don't know what the state of this is, but it's not that far-fetched that smart TVs could do that.

For the latter problem, you could potentially open up the TV, disconnect the wifi module if it's discrete, but then you're hoping that it is discrete, and that the TV will still function without that module.
You are not an expert in this field, and cherry-picking random articles in random journals does not make you an expert.

> Should I pick some other experts to listen to?

I think it's reasonably clear that you haven't spoken to an expert in this field.

> I'm sorry if I don't take the word of some random guy's dentist over multiple meta analyses in major medical journals.

Are you certain you're competent to review and understand the literature on the topic? It takes a lot of time and effort; that's what dentists do as a job. That's why they have to go to school. That's why random people on the internet do not do dentistry.

If you don't trust my dentist, then talk to your dentist.

This is literally my point: I'm not telling you how it is; I'm telling you, talk to someone who knows what they're talking about; and, don't believe that you are an expert because you put some trivial amount of effort into investigating it yourself.

You can't be an expert at everything. No one can.

As some point, you have to trust other people.
Are projects finishing quicker?
There are endless debates about gross vs net and as with many things in the CoJCoLDS it is left up to the members to decide/define and to self-certify their compliance. Welfare programs are financed via a separate donation program via a monthly fast where the skipped meals expenses are donated to the program.
You wouldn't have to change anything about the underlying system, which is the point. Containers work the same regardless of the underlying system, so they get around the various differences in everyone's individual machine. I use identical containers routinely on Fedora and Ubuntu systems at home without any issue, and I produce containers for RHEL and various other systems at work. Half the point of containers is eliminating the variability between dev systems and deployment.

Rather than everyone having to get the software working on their machine, you would get it working once in the container, and then just distribute that.
The annoying comic would be silly if it weren't true. The point of the comic is the fact it alludes to, which by magnitude transcends any specific reference.
"Either something is possible or it is not. If you don't know, that just means you're lacking knowledge (and maybe it's never been done before)."

Exactly - and that's what I use prototyping to figure out.

It's not just "is something possible?" - it's "is this possible given the time, tools and skills available to me?"

Here's a really simple example from a couple of years ago: I wanted to build a tool that exported my Apple Notes to a SQLite database.

Is that possible to build? What are the export options available?

I ended up using an LLM to write AppleScript (a language I had no prior experience with) to extract the notes data, and it worked great. I wrote up that prototyping experiment here: https://til.simonwillison.net/gpt3/chatgpt-applescript
People were literally sent to El Salvador against a court order stopping the government from doing so.

Where’s the exaggeration?

Also, the quotes you’ve excerpted do not mention due process even once, but do in fact mention that those people
may perhaps be sent to El Salvador.

So your own quote only contains evidence for people being sent to El Salvador, and contains no evidence for them being provided due process, not even a “perhaps” they may be provided due process.

The amount of indoctrination and brain twisting it takes to take a quote that does not mention due process, but does mention the possibility of people being sent to El Salvador, and use that as evidence that there will be due process but people will not be sent to El Salvador absolutely astonishes me.
That's not how it works. There is an ideal amount of fluoride. If the natural amount is lower more is added. If it's higher the extra is removed.
An interesting property is that when you have left and right application, which part of fx is the function and which is the argument becomes sort of ambiguous. You can think of f as something that combines with a B on its right to produce an A, (A/B)B = A. But you can also think of x as something that combines with an A/B on its left to produce an A, (A/B)((A/B)\A) = A.

This is famously used in interpreting the status of "Socrates is mortal" ("Socrates" is the argument) and "Every man is mortal" ("is mortal" is the argument).
I should be able to go into my settings and just say “don’t ever show me AI search results unless I ask, which doesn’t mean using a normal, commonplace punctuation mark”.

It’s very frustrating that “turn it off” is a fucking afterthought to “turn it on” for a service I pay for.
Why would you claim that existing citizenship would be revoked? Ex post facto laws are incredibly rare in the US, and the executive order explicitly said it “shall apply only to persons who are born within the United States after 30 days from the date of this order.”

Also, why are you implying that the US Constitution is immutable? Birthright citizenship was enacted by the 14th amendment, which as the name implies, was a change to our “enshrined US Constitution.” The founding fathers themselves passed amendments. They recognized that no constitution could possibly anticipate every future circumstance or challenge that a nation might face. They viewed this as a feature, not a bug.
The problem with appealing to authority is they become obsolete. The 2022 Nobel in Econ went to work specifically about the value and importance of central banking surpassing Friedman’s long outdated view (and note his 1976 Nobel was not on central banking).

And nothing he said that you “paraphrased” supports your claims. Heck, the word “tax” never even appears in his essay.

If you’re going to appeal to authority, I recommend you at least look over the list of Econ Nobels after Friedman - there’s plenty after him actually on topic or much closer than his field of expertise. You may want to learn from them.
When I was a kid the schools taught us the metric system, telling us it was the world standard, and would become the standard is the US by the time I was an adult. That was over 40 years ago. And that pretty much sums it all up.

>For extremely specific use cases such as file managers, browsers or antivirus apps, Google grants an exception by allowing QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission, which provides full visibility into installed apps.

'Extreme' my a*. My bank app has this permission, as well as my camera app, contacts app, clock app, Google Home, and on and on. My bank app was moved to an old iPad because of this.
That was kind of Sarah's point :-). People who 'farm' because they want free money, not because they actually want to feed people, compose a large fraction of the entities holding arable land in the US. As a result, they won't switch to crops for food, crops take a while to switch over, therefore when the subsidies go away and they all start losing money Americans are going to pay extortionate sums for "imported" food. Those who can't pay will be in a world of hurt.
> Please tell me why Apple should’ve kept supporting 32-bit apps forever.

Breaking user's apps is a bad experience for them. Worse, it's not even something they can do something about... except by not updating, which is a lose-lose.
> Because I live in a small township that delivers well water to you tap. It tastes horrible, shortens the life of pipes and appliances, and smells like sulfur.

Oh man, I used to live in a place like this. You could smell if a restaurant served filtered water (lots filter for the soda machine, to keep mineralization in it down I assume, and use the same water to serve) or straight from the tap, without taking a drink. Like with your nose six inches above the cup, you could smell it. Luckily, almost all served filtered.
