I lost faith in iCloud custom domains a few months ago, I was receiving the usual marketing emails etc fine, but actual person to person emails? Sometimes replies would come through, other times nothing.

I thought at first people were just ignoring me, but when a company reached out to me over SMS to respond to a complaint I had, they said their email reply had bounced so was contacting me on SMS instead

Switched to fastmail at that point.
I miss a thorough explanation of how Plain is fundamentally different than Django + extensions. Good luck though

Diamond open access and fully OA publishers might do that (maybe as an add-on service on top of LOCKSS or Portico), but the Big Five definitely do not want to do that, because they sell bulk access services at lofty prices.

There's no use expecting anything from the publishers. Universities and independent archives need to do the job.

As for arxiv, they already make the full dump available:

Yes, we should move to a proprietary service where the provider can extort us for the rest of our lives.
Not only this, but most US companies do not really have any incentive to focus on security.

On HN there is an echo chamber with the shunning of companies who have experienced incompetence based breaches. Your average consumer does not know (beyond the news cycle) or generally even really care.

I think you can even look at FBI and NSA public service announcements and guides about consumer electronics security as a sort of ''shit this industry stuff is pretty bad we need to think about our goal differently,'' with regards to them trying to pick up some of the security slack that US companies shit out with their products.
I couldn’t agree more. I’ve had literal conversations with tech leads who say “no, we aren’t going to talk about database design, we’re agile”.

Not even architecture is being discussed properly under the guise of being agile, it’ll come by itself.

Absolute insanity.
I've seen too many people think this move will be a total disaster.

I think it'll be a very bumpy ride but ultimately the team will succeed.

Besides "liberal sabotage" is a ready made retort for any mishaps along the way.
I have wireless CarPlay in my car and I don't care about plugging it in for short rides. It's convenient that I don't have to plug it in every time I am on a 20-30 min ride just to get directions. It's a very useful feature. Not a deal breaker but a very good nice to have.
They're referring to hiragana being highly phonetic, where each letter is a fully formed sound so practicing them can give a solid base for pronunciation.

Personally I think there might be some correlation vs causation on hiragana vs pronunciation, many people with poor pronunciation just have a mostly-English speaking social circle, and as such likely also don't feel a need to study hiragana. I feel just listening to Japanese can help get your brain used to the sounds and on the flip side my first recommendation to Japanese to get better at English conversation is to watch lots of US TV, hearing words over and over from many voices eventually adds up to a nice base for sounds. Still need to study for vocab though.
All the computers are connected to the Internet? Can you still buy something without having to register and without that software always be communicating to home servers? Can you still buy a software product and do whatever you wish with it, for as long as you want and without having to pay subscriptions or be forced to upgrade?
Related, "Django's REST (Framework) Problem" — https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43510495

I'm not sure that many people who rely on Django Rest Framework are aware that last month the bug tracker was made private and the project is looking for new maintainers.

I love Django but the project needs to go through something similar to Angular's renaissance (and Angular needs to learn from Django docs.) I'd love to help but it seems that most of the efforts to address the issue have been stalled in committee.

A fork probably isn't the answer but something needs to be done. If it's a money issue, pass the plate! Whenever I talk to Django devs about contributing the feeling that I'm left with is that I could put in years of work, jump through every hoop, and at the end of it they may still say "We're not sure."

The feeling that I've gotten is that the Django dev community is very small and tight-knit. Whenever I've talked about helping out on various projects I've walked away with the feeling that their friend is handling it and they'd rather leave them to it. The community has been trained, through years of reinforcement, to wait instead of getting involved.
Show HN: Java Minecraft on ARM Linux with Vulkan renderer
SBC's can be quite capable and with Vulkan (optimized) mobile GPU's like Mali-G610 on RK3588 you can run full Java Minecraft @100-120fps in 1440P while only consuming 8-10w of power. I thought this would be nice to showcase so I wrote the linked article.

I really love their Switches, Routers and directional radio link stuff.

But: Mikrotik has problems with end-user Wifi - Their APs are old and weak.
Sure, if we talk about decade or more, companies can and will adapt. They can run several apps in VM, or just migrate to Unix. I've worked at bank who was through and through completely Linux including all front desk people, in 2010. If rigid banks can do it, everybody can.
Quite a few Ubiquiti APs can be reflashed with OpenWRT.
No you just steal it and pretend it’s ok because the machine came with windows 11. Tech companies taught me it’s ok to steal and do things without permission.
Start with the overview, let people decide quickly whether this is worth investing more time in.
I don't have any of that in Windows. I'm not using the home version but the preinstalled apps can be removed in a minute, I think cortana has been deprecated for a while now, and the only unwanted thing I've seen on the taskbar has been the weather that I've hidden with two clicks.

For wsl, it's just a normal VM that's integrated with Windows. Maybe it'd get in the way of I did development that needed to work closer with the hardware, but I don't at the time
Agreed that that CSV construction isn't consistent even with standards.

That footprint seems to be dozens of variations to work with to find a library for?

CSV are universal though, text kind of like markdown, and that is my intended main point.
“ If you’re reading this book, we probably don’t need to convince you that Python is great”

Everything good about Python is actually C, namely the good packages. They’re not written in Python, because Python is shit.
Compared to this, the governmental credit system of China seems to me a giant improvement, no?
Questionable. There is defiantly some connection, but in what direction is open for debate. But its also the case that the Soviet block countries had lots of educated people, but couldn't make the economy work out.

And given for how many years the US has had sub-optimal results in international education comparison, while the overall economy has done well also doesn't fit.
IME mention of DDD has been a pretty solid predictor of "this project will produce nothing but documents for months and if it gets to the implementation stage complexity will spiral out of control. It probably won't ship."

It's possible that it works for some people, but I've seen the above scenario play out too many times to see DDD as anything but a red flag

Meh. Google can keep its censorship and algorithmic narrative steering for itself, IMO. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes, or something like that.

What kind of problem is solved by a fast, hardware-based entropy source?
You only need a couple of bytes of entropy to initialize your RNG.

One of the things I love most about AI coding tools is how they make it easier than ever to move away from complex, fragile abstractions like ORMs. The main reason we’ve often avoided writing raw SQL repositories by hand is that it’s tedious, but now, much of that boilerplate can be generated by AI.

More broadly, wherever you might have relied on a heavyweight dependency, you can often replace it with AI-generated code tailored to the task at hand. You might think this would increase the maintenance burden, but au contraire: reviewing and taking ownership of AI-generated code is often simpler and more sustainable in the long term than dealing with complex libraries you don’t fully control.
The difference is that modelling it through software gives you feedback, as you can run the software. You can't run the DDD documents.
I started like this. My current system, which is the second or third attempt, serves me every day. I have some kind of server that has been running 24/7 for maybe a decade, and it is my go-to language for testing, prototyping and other throwaway scripts - which I actually frequently salvage, despite the fact that they were written for a version of the system that no longer exists because I'm still tinkering with it and don't care about backward compatibility much.

Show HN: Dataphyre – The Ultimate PHP Framework
I built Dataphyre to scale from side projects to massive distributed systems without bloat or rewrites. It’s a modern PHP framework powering Shopiro, an international marketplace handling millions of lines of code and sub-30ms product page renders. Dataphyre includes async task support, a full templating engine with caching + SEO, a native CDN system, full-text search, A/B testing, a JSON-based unit test runner, and advanced security (proof-of-work anti-spam, 2FA, firewall). It’s modular, open-source (free for personal use), and battle-tested in production. No Laravel/Symfony required—just performance, clarity, and control. Contributions welcome!

I'll make another prediction: their ultimate goal is to start charging a subscription service for Windows.
Maybe SaaS APIs need some kind of standard, usage-based billing method to cope with a million different AI services calling all different APIs. It would be much easier to integrate loads of services at 0.08c per call through some common payment provider without needing to go to each one manually, set up billing, pay $20/month, generate a key, etc.
I'm not going to read the "article" because it is a transcript and looks a bit rambly and I don't expect it to be talking about anything interesting. But just going to the headline here; consider the base rate. North America has huge per-capita wealth (by a bit of a margin over most other large players). It is expected that scammers would target them and make the most profit there.
I'm mostly doing server code in Python nowadays.

From what I remember only the c/++ toolchains were a problem on windows but the couple of times I needed them they were either managed by some other build process and ran fine or I could just compile and run in wsl
Yeah, people from statically typed languages sometimes can't understand how dynamically typed languages can even work. How can I do anything if I don't know what type to pass?! Because we write functions like "factorial(number)" instead of "int fac(int n)".
I like them too! Hate Bluma though.
It would be amusing for Microsoft to end up in a situation where developers don’t want to target Windows anymore, just like Apple in the 90’s.

Perhaps they think it doesn’t matter once everything is in the cloud.
The Anti-Pattern Playbook
You can claim that CDJs are more reliable all you want but I call FUD on your claims of vinyl. Both as a DJ, event organiser and paying punter.

Ok, that's fair, it's not that crazy or anything. But it is more difficult to get right.

Buttons fail and things do go wrong with CDJs but most of the time it's an inconvenience for the DJ that can be worked around and doesn't intrinsically affect the sound. We have CDJs in use 3-4 times a week taking god knows what abuse and have them serviced sometimes for small stuff but they pretty much work without issue.

if you’re equipping a venue and you pick vinyl or CDs...

That's why I said it was a hypothetical. You're not always making that choice on a given night, I wasn't talking about purchasing decisions, just what is generally going to be a safer choice from a technical perspective. It's also not a hypothetical disaster scenario, you can't act like these issues don't exist with delicate mechanical sound reproduction. It's just kinda comical, particularly on a big stage surrounded by so much digital tech, it's like why even risk it? And yes that question goes to the performer.
Two years ago Turks didn't receive notifications either. I wonder what is not working in Android.
Well, better keep a hold of those older Win11 ISOs then.

The only beneficiaries of this are corps who want to ensure that new devices must check-in for AutoPilot enrolment on first boot out-of-box.

In fact, Macs with Apple silicon will require an internet connection on setup, but only after that machine has been online at least once before and has seen that it’s registered to business (handled by a firmware flag).
> Do merchants actually want to get rid of the 2-3% transaction fees?

TL;DR: "stablecoins" are just adding another level of indirection with a different (not necessarily better) tradeoffs than other payment methods / mediums of exchange

So called "stablecoins" (Transferrable USD Depositary Receipts / Commerical Paper) are not cheaper than credit cards. They're just moving the fees to other places in the pipeline: converting fiat to a "stablecoins", and/or converting "stablecoins" back to fiat

The transactions themselves are much more expensive than CC transactions, unless u use a less secure L2 chains, which are just databases in disguise

Add to this issuance/underwriting fees, and insurance b/c of the possibility of losing the principal and/or your coins being blacklisted or stolen

For "stablecoins" to be cheaper the majority of economy should adopt them, and then part of the conversion to fiat fees will cancel each other

The main problem is that credit card companies sign up merchants to offer the same prices for CCs as for cash, in essence puninshing people who pay with cash. This trick is what subsidizes this entire industry. In the jurisdsictions were this is illegal - the cash is still the king

The Americans really needed something like the "Americaness" (the American law it's over any race), kinda like the Hispanidad with the Hispanic people does. It doesn't matter where you come from, but where you all as a whole are heading to.

Segregation and White Power/Black Power/Native Power should be dealt as something totally obsolete, kinda backwards. "Mi tribe it's the best one, and the rest of the worlds sucks".

As a Spaniard I always hated the concept of reservations and idiots like Jim Crow. The point of America should have been to leave out your tribe behind to be something else.

It was a prolonged period of pestilence, famine, torture, rape, plunder, destruction, conquest, cultural eradication, and general misery, with a short term death toll of something like 600,000 (including military and civilian casualties), and a long term death toll in the millions.

In the context of this conversation, a loyalist is obviously someone who will disregard the law and the constitution if Trump orders them to do so.
I just looked up the exact stats and it turns out my hypothetical world isn't hypothetical. Currently the average "small business" owner takes home less than $70k a year. [1] Small business in quotes because that term has been distorted so politicians can give handouts to big business and claim they're supporting small business. 99.9% of all businesses in the US are classified as "small business" which includes companies with hundreds of employees and revenue in the tens of millions of dollars, so the "average" there is misleadingly high.

Factor in the fact that a business owner is going to be working far more hours on average, than a 'worker', and it turns out that we do live live in this apparently not-so-hypothetical world where proles make more than bougies if we just define classes by their 'modes of economic interaction'! We can argue/nitpick the specifics in Marx's time, but I don't think you can claim in good faith that the situation was even remotely like this, and his logic was largely based on the conditions that he lived in. Even the most fundamental concepts like means of production are obsolete because in modern times everybody owns the most valuable (by a very wide margin) means of production.

And the pleasure or pain of labor is always relative to itself. For most people there's about a million things they'd rather be doing than working (including for business owners), but everybody has to put food on the plate and in modern times that's so much more pleasant an endeavor that it can't really be overstated, and this applies even to relatively recent times. When I, and I assume you, were growing up don't you remember getting endlessly spammed on TV with the non-stop 'Hurt on the job? Call Mr. Ambulance Chaser at 123-4567 today, and get what you deserve!'

I kinda wish it did actually catch on outside the Apple ecosystem. I like the language quite a bit, but since I no longer program for MacOS even peripherally, I don't get to use it. But I'm afraid it's going to need a miracle at this point, Rust and Go have a massive, insurmountable lead on non-Apple platforms. It could be argued that Swift's catching on outside macOS would be very good for Apple, by expanding the pool of developers proficient in Swift, and removing the friction towards people using their Linux code on Apple systems. But Apple is blessed with an AppStore which is not a complete dumpster fire, so they probably don't feel the need to do any of that, and feel like they'd be sinking millions into an initiative that has zero chance of success.

The basis for the Bretons Woods agreements was intentionally to integrate economically and treaties post WW1 and WW2 were intentionally to stop imperialism. That was not the case before.
