Rubio is a sad sack of garbage, using the same mud slinging always on the attack belittling everyone everywhere vileness that is this fucked up administration's only way of coping with reality & the rest of the world.

You're going to take the word of a lunatic who signed off on not just deporting random people, but shipping them into slavery at an El Salvador super prison? A dude who has an autism tattoo in support of his brother? A dude who has his soccer team's logo as his tattoo?

Rubio & this administration are deeply unserious, acting as capriciously as possible. There's been no evidence, and incredible refusal to even allow the courts their legal chance to review grievances filed for Alien Enemies Act, as is required.

Having the head of state going around bullying people who wrote to the college Op-Eds is insane. This is so far below their status. Rubio is pissing his panties because someone wrote an op-ed accurately and simply asking the college to please recognize & act on a lawful & decent vote by the Tufts Community Union Senate is not a horrible act. This isn't putting mud on the couch or spray painting a kitchen, this is very basic & civil free speech, and Rubio is pissing on the bill of rights that Americans for 250 years have been proud of. Because he's a monster & a coward, in bed with other monsters and cowards.
Thanks! We started as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on after-school programming clubs and high school hackathons. We were working with high schoolers across the country and noticed that teenagers lacked the necessary financial infrastructure to run in-person events. For example, receiving money from a sponsor to buy pizza. We built HCB to give them essential tools like a donation page, invoicing system, and debit cards.

Since then, it's grown to a platform that supports not only high school hackathons, but nearly any nonprofit-related mission, including robotic teams and local food banks. We're still an educational nonprofit centered around high school coding clubs, but HCB is a tool we maintain to better empower these high schoolers.
I remember trying to get a program installed on Windows. It complained that I didn't have the right VC redistributable.

I had like ten of them installed — I think several from the same year! — cause every program usually bundles its own.

I found the exact version of vcredist installer I needed but then that one refused to install because I already had a slightly newer version. So I had to uninstall that first.

As far as I'm aware this problem still exists in Wine, I installed something in Wine yesterday and I had to use winetricks commands to get the vcredist installers from Microsoft's servers. (Also illegally download some fonts, otherwise my installer refused to start...)
There are latent variables there. You can't just compare the IQ of two areas and only isolate a single variable out of thousands.
It could be a big thing. If a trillion dollars is floating in stablecoins for shopping use then someone is getting billions in interest holding the real cash.
Is libc updates really the primary problem with the ABI breaks on Linux? Glibc isn't perfect but it has versioned symbols going back a long time now. My guess would be the problem is actually abandoned versions of other libraries (e.g. SDL1, old versions of gtk2?) and maybe a handful of other things.
I can only see two possible positions: China or the Middle-East. The Middle-East does have its problems though and kinda depends on the US for security. So that leaves China as the most likely option.
Ask HN: Muslims–when are you celebrating Eid?
I've been following the situation regarding Eid al-Fitr celebrations this year. Just hours ago, the Hilal Sighting Committee of North America announced they found "NO confirmed, positive naked-eye sightings of the new hilal (crescent moon)" on Saturday evening (March 29).

They're completing 30 days of Ramadan and observing Eid on Monday, March 31. [1]

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia has declared Sunday as Eid. This declaration conflicts with the assessment of the astrophysics community. According to an astrophysicist's analysis, this sighting is scientifically implausible. Saturday featured a solar eclipse (the birth of the new moon) at approximately 11:20 UTC. Sunset in Saudi Arabia occurred only about 4 hours later—nowhere near the 10-20 hours typically required for the new moon to become visible, even with advanced equipment.

The astrophysicist suggests two potential explanations for these contradictory declarations: either Saudi Arabia is adhering to their pre-calculated Umm al Qura calendar regardless of actual visibility conditions, or there may be geopolitical considerations at play regarding countries like Iran that often celebrate Eid a day later. [2]

This split in declarations creates the annual moon-sighting dilemma for Muslims worldwide, particularly those in Western countries who must choose between following local committees, their countries of origin, or major Islamic authorities.

How are you navigating this discrepancy between astronomical calculations and claimed moon sightings? What factors influence your decision on when to celebrate Eid? Which declaration will you be following, and why?

Note for non-Muslims: Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic month of fasting. Its date is determined by the sighting of the new crescent moon. This traditional method sometimes leads to different communities celebrating on different days, especially given modern astronomical knowledge and varying interpretations of what constitutes a valid sighting.

It is good to see both sides of the debate. Thus far, media was feeding into the hype, now media is being skeptical. This is a nature evolution path of any new tech. why be salty ?
Just to be clear here, by "both sides" you mean both professional political machines - the bureaucratic authoritarians of the Democratic party and the autocratic authoritarians of the Republican party - with both succeeding at getting the Supplicated Council to write justifications that undermine individual liberty. This is the dynamic you're arguing in favor of escalating.

Personally I wasn't a huge fan of the bureaucratic authoritarians either, but at least they brought us a measure of relative stability instead of, well, this (gestures vaguely around).
Do you think bodily autonomy is absolute? Your comments seem to imply that bodily autonomy is the only relevant thing to consider when discussing patient care. The world doesn't work that way. Believe it or not, a doctor won't amputate a limb when you show up with a runny nose even if you insist that that's the procedure you want. Search up the 4 principles of biomedical ethics if you want to learn more about the factors that influence doctors' ethical decisions.

Or do you mean that your opinion should trump that of any doctor or expert in any field when the issue pertains to your person? If that's the case, I wonder why you choose to participate in society at all, given that you're uncomfortable with the idea that other people might know more than you.

Great news, there's a distro called Slackware that eschews centralized package management (besides optionally delivering updates for preinstalled packages). It's been around for ~20 years before you started using Linux. If you'd like to rid yourself of the curse of centralized package management in favor of running "./configure && make && sudo make install" like a real man, you should give it a try.
I don't know... If you leave "with your favorite AI agent" out of that opening paragraph, that describes how I've been coding for the last 40 years or so. I'm not sure what AI has to do with it.

How do you identify apps that you shouldn't trust? Sometimes trust is assumed only until evidence is given that trust shouldn't be given. Which makes no sense to me. Why was the initial trust so easily given?

A solution is to not use third party apps but most people aren't going to go that route. The VM idea is a good option though.
You don't really need a GPU when your screen is small and you might only be updating it no faster than ~1 fps and could tolerate ~100ms latency in response to an event. And keep in mind most DOS games were software-rendered on CPUs much less powerful than your modern higher-end microcontroller (e.g. rpi pico, stm32, esp32, etc).

Instead of a full GPU, some microcontrollers may have a special "Blitter" engine...for instance NXP has a "Pixel Pipeline-Processor" (PXP) engine which is just-enough hardware for scaling, rotating, alpha-blending, and copying pixels, and it is for instance possible to configure lvgl to use the PXP to handle such grunt work while leaving the rest of lvgl rendering to software.
In Winapi land, the equivalent of "the c library" is NTDLL,its wrappers and other supporting libs (advapi32,userenv,etc... and Win32 specific libs which I consider equivalent to X11 libs). MSVCR in my opinion is there to provide the stdlib for C/C++ programs. In Linux land, the library that provides the C stdlib also wraps syscalls, in Windows, the C stdlib is a wrapper/interface for Windows api's.

My opinion is that they're both great. I really like how clean and well thought out the Windows API's are. Compared to Linux equivalents they're very stable and easier to use. But that doesn't mean there is anything wrong with C stdlib implementation on either OS. But for system API's, Linux is a bit messy, that mess is the result of having so many people have strong opinions, and Linux trying to adhere to the Unix principle of a modular user-space ecosystem.

For example, there is no "Linux graphics api", there is X11 and Wayland and who knows what else, and neither have anything to do with the Linux project. There are many highly opinionated ways to do simple things, and that is how Linux should be. In the same vein, installing apps on Linux is simply querying your package manager, but on Windows there is no "Microsoft package repo" where everyone dumps their apps (although they are trying to fix that in many ways), and that's how Windows should be.

Let Linux be Linux and Windows be Windows. They're both great if you appreciate them for what they are and use the accordingly.
As I understand it, relicensing is possible when a project has a Contributor Licensing Agreement (CLA) which says that you're signing over your copyright to your contribution to the project's owners. (Who will eventually be bought out by the worst rich person you can think of - Yes, him.)

I peeked in uv's contributing guide and issues and didn't see any CLA. In PyTorch the CLA was mentioned at the top of the contributing guide.

Although, there should have been a community fork of the last FOSS version of Anaconda. That's what happened with Redis, and Redis uses a CLA: https://github.com/redis/redis/blob/unstable/CONTRIBUTING.md...

Don't ever sign a CLA, kids. Hell, only contribute to copyleft projects. We get paid too much to work for free.

iPhones are less of a privacy nightmare.

One of the biggest incentives for creating apps is to scrape all kind of data from the users. Look at how many apps require permission to see you contacts. And how many actually need your contacts to function. That's why I'm still a bit surprised that many seem to be surprised by findings like this one here.

That used to be a good healthy rule, because down voting didn't used to be a systematic cover vile land stealing masochistic genocidal deranged people. But now there's an asymmetric force where bad people are systematically able to deny access to topics they find inconvenient.

The rules are inadequate & the crimes of this world too deep.

If people are so slammed incovenienced by having to skip over a couple posts they personally don't want to read, then a) fuck them, they are not too incovenienced, b) get over yourselves you shitty fucks, c) stop providing covering for vast human rights violations, rampant murder and starvation of children.

These rules used to work well, because complaining about down voting was because there were shitty pissants who would actively downvotes everything on systemd, or everything on Kubernetes, or everything about JavaScript. Today's there's enough up votes to deal with the haters, and these topics actually get a fair shake without negative comments immediately dominating any submissions. But it just wasn't real stakes. The fact that we lost a couple years of these topics being overrun by monsters wasnt great, but no one really enjoyed the complaining about that status quo of shitlords always winning. Today though, I think there's a lot a lot a lot of people sick to hell of the information system here being totally lopsided, sick of not being able to discuss DOGE, DOGE's desire to fire everyone & replace us all with mechanized unaccountable decision making, sick of not being able to discuss Israel being an absolute monster beyond words. The downvoting and flagging is totally out of hand, totally unacceptable, and suppressing the very real topics of our day from being even somewhat visible and it's a gross injustice, that we should be hacking towards better on.

I grew up in the UK, and literally no one there refers to her as the Queen of England. Sure, she is technically also the Queen of Scotland, the Queen of Wales, and so on.

The point is basically no one else has politicised this to the extent the US did. Pointing to how different countries solve it differently is missing the point completely.
I would defend this submission to dang.

I think that the suspension of due process in the home of Hacker News, the US, which was designed by its founders as a bastion of freedom from kings where people could pursue whatever their intellect desired with a guaranteed right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, is important enough to merit discussion.

I think intellectual curiosity dies when due process dies, because if people can face arbitrary, excessive and (frankly) cruel punishment for thought crimes by the state, then what else is there?

Intellectually curious minds fled in the 1930s to the US when this happened in their nook of the world. And now, we're seeing the cycle repeat in their chosen nouveau homeland.

Sure, I doubt there's a legal way to ship Microsoft Office on flathub, but there are plenty of shareware programs that I think would be fine (though IANAL, ofc) right up to FOSS that happens to target Windows. For instance, Notepad++ is GPLv3[0] and WINE platinum rating[1]; why shouldn't it be on flathub?

I grew up in the UK, and can tell you it is very rare for people there to refer to her as "the Queen of England". To do so makes you sound ignorant, at least to British people. It would be a similar mistake to refer to the British prime minister as "the prime minister of England". That isn't really a political office, any more than the president of the United States is "the president of California".
