I enjoy python stuff but not all of it aged well. A lot of older comedy aged better. Jacques Tati films for example. Or Chaplin.

They could be bizarrely homophobic and also celebrate gay culture in the same show. They were often very misogynist.

I still laugh at it. I still watch it. But the adulation faded.

No Australian enjoys their take on Australian wine. It's wincingly unpleasant. Barry Humphries, Germaine Greer and Clive James fed cultural stereotypes which died out when earl's court became too expensive for Australian backpackers. The abos armpit thing comes back to me far too often from naive British friends who would never use the N word, or make jokes about Irish being stupid. They don't know what they're saying.

Eric Idle complained he had to do Spamelot to get some retirement income. George Harrison made bank on the films.

The situationist surreal stuff, Terry Gilliams pasteup animation, very good. Dressing up as ladies.. tiresome.

There's a line from pythons dressing up as working class women to little Britain making fun of incontinent old women.

That actually works quite well. I once built a templating engine for Terraform files based on JQ that reads in higher level Yaml definitions of the resources that should be created and outputs valid Terraform Json config. The main reason back then was that you couldn't dynamically create Terraform provider definitions in Terraform itself.

Later on I migrated the solution to Terramate which made it a lot more maintainable because you write HCL to template Terraform config instead of JQ filters.

lol you don't know the half of it. Working with ESA for anything but the most trivial project is beyond frustrating; it's basically 99% about producing swathes of documentation, which in itself is more akin to philosophy and semantic dissertations over obscure standards than actual technical work.

ESA is so risk averse that it's even weird for a space company
No, I was talking about generated fonts themselves; each glyph would have an associated set of control points which can be used to map a glyph to the correct letter. No need to run the full OCR, you need a single small OCR job per each glyph. You would need quite elaborate distortions to avoid this kind of attack, and such distortions may affect the reading experience.
My view is a more charitable one assuming there is some grand strategy going on but I think you are more on the money. It's just hard to accept that the administration really is so comically corrupt and incompetent
If you look at what cars of this type are produced and who drives them, it quickly becomes clear where the road is heading.
Huge off-road vehicles, albeit with electric drive, are missing the mark.
These things are advertised with sporty performance, comfort and so on.
In my opinion, energy is being thrown out the window to satisfy the ego of the buyer.
These people are buying themselves a clear conscience.
Even if the cars are electric, where can they be charged?
Not everyone lives in the houses you see in the advertisements.
Not everyone can just go into debt for something like this.
I drive an economical petrol car with 200k kilometers on the clock.
I don't need to produce anything new or use any rare earths or energy.
Even with electric cars, the plastic for the door panels has to be made from crude oil.
The cost of installing all the electronics is also high.
I drive this car until I can't drive any more, I mostly use public transport, but sometimes I have to use the car for the weekly shop.
I'm also staying in the city because I'm getting older and I'm dependent on doctors and markets, at the moment I work outside the city, like many others, and people just need a car to park here.
Not everyone has the same life as others.

> the switch between local/downloaded and all Apple Music is on the Other side of the Screen

I can relate. These days I’m primarily using it to search iTunes for music to buy. Switching back to purchasing (instead of streaming) has been a renewed joy.

On macOS, the Music app downloads all purchased media as non-drmd files, which I can point whatever preferred player to for indexing and playback.

I'm sure this is a thing,

what I'm not so sure about is how much that generalises beyond the HN/tech-workers bubble (I don't think "people" in OP's comment is as broad and numerous as they think it is).
Anubis et al. are also looking into alternative algorithms. There seems to be consensus that SHA-256 PoW is not appropriate
Honestly surprised no one's really leaned into that as a product category yet. Seems like there could be a small but very appreciative market for it
The author is doing the math the wrong way. For an extra $5/day, a 3rd world country can now pay an engineer $20/day to do the job of a junior engineer in a 1st world one.

The bitter lesson is going to be for junior engineers who see less job offers and don’t see consulting power houses eat their lunch.

You're talking about small-money bets. The technical infrastructure group at Google makes a lot of them, to explore options or hedge risks, but they only scale the things that make financial sense. They aren't dumb people after all.

The TPU was a small-money bet for quite a few years until this latest AI boom.

> I think a large portion of HN commenters are unaware of the consumer demand for these features.

For me it's just that "ordinary" users don't complain about them being added, which in practice means silent agreement.
You do not need to know about modern features to write code in C. This is part of computer science.
Off topic but related to Android replacement on phones, let see if anyone can help me: I have an old Xiaomi Mi 9SE in a drawer, and I would like it to give it to my daughter as a Spotify player and that's it. No phone, no camera, no browser. Just Spotify.
What would be the best way to start? PostmarketOS doesn't support it, GrapheneOS is security-focused, LineageOS is basically a full-fledged Android, I don't know if I would be able to limit it as I would.
Which part does it exclude? Elderly who are unfit to drive, anyone below driving age or who can't afford a car or license? People with disabilities, like blind people, people with motor issues, people with disabilities that can't afford a modified car? All these people have to dodge cars to get to places.
The argument I was making was what is why would

<main>

<h1>Main Heading</h1>

section..h2... Etc

</main>

<aside>

<h1>Aside heading</h1>

section...h2...

</aside>

Be incorrect? The original html standard clearly stated this was acceptable but now there should only be a single H1 which is the page heading and all other headings should be H2 and lower. What if the page content doesn't actually have a single main heading? This change fundamentally changes the semantics of something which has had unclear semantics for decades and which actually rendered what I typed above correctly in the past. Now it would not be rendered correctly anymore.
> to review startups' business plans

How exactly do you imagine a government contract working if it's not reviewed before being granted?

> That they're still ambivalent whether they should pursue reusability or not

So they shouldn't verify if a proposal is credible because that's too much bureaucracy but they should dictate to the companies how they want to approach the problem rather than letting each company make their own plans and see who comes up with the best proposal?
There’re so many people who think they already know how it works. And that’s a huge problem.

Yes right, i mean manufacturing value added, there is no way to return manufacturing jobs en masse.

Macrotrends is a spam site that is very well-indexed. I have seen it post blatantly, unbelievably false stats all the time that i have developed a blindness for it in my google feel, i automatically scroll past it. Yes most of the time numbers there are correct, but it can't at all be trusted.

And well, there is no way that either China will shrink to 500 M by 2050 barring WWIII, or U.S. grow to 500M unless there is universal, free-for-all, open border policy in place.
I wish, there was also an tunnel software (client+server) where

* the server appears on the outside as an https server/reverse proxy
* the server supports self-signed-certificates or letsencrypt
* when a client goes to a certain (sub)site or route, http auth can be used
* after http auth, all traffic tunnel over that subsite/route is protected against traffic analysis, for example like the obfsproxy does it.

Does anyone know something like that? I am tempted to ask xeiaso to add such features, but i do not think his tool is meant for that...

I'd strongly recommend to find a working SearXNG instance but if you don't want to deal with it, Bing's index (for whatever reason particularly the one used to power Yahoo) is currently pretty good at searching niche websites.

There are so many free learning resources for these languages that it is ridiculous to say that you need books to learn them. The books are great, but non-essential. If you insist on reading books, there is an ancient invention called a library that you can use for free.
Thank you for your work and the interesting and insightful comments. I've learned a lot from you.

I wish it was feasible to run GrapheneOS on more devices. For some reason, Google seems to be incapable of selling Pixels world wide.
The second and especially third pages have some of that.
Thank you for working on GOS. It is one of the few, if not only, OS that makes mobile devices usable for me.

> To support other devices, we need a partnership with a competent OEM like Samsung.

How realistic would it be to have an official Graphene phone? Could you partner with an open-source friendly company like Purism or Framework to design and manufacture the hardware to your specifications? That would be the ultimate mobile device for tech and privacy nerds, for which I'm sure many would be willing to pay a premium over mass manufactured devices.

As much as I trust your vetting of Google devices, there's a strong incongruity between the mission of a trillion-dollar adtech company and yours that I just can't reconcile.
This explains some things on, like, a mythic level, that I’ve felt about yaml practically since the first time I saw it.

Starting a business selling software is actually a big job. Even giving code away with OpenSource licensing brings liability risks.

You'll need to find a business model that pays enough to keep your product going.

Maybe you need a suite of micro tools, sold as a single package, that can earn enough to pay for the business costs.
oh I knew I was going to get this. Now I have to define obscure. Let's go!

Github has two (yes, just 2) repositories referring to them: (that's nearly 0.000 000 5% of Github I hear you say)

https://github.com/search?q=%22total%20language%22&type=repo...

But maybe that's unfair. Let's try a software engineering encyclopedia!

Ok, "Encyclopedia of Software Engineering (2011)" doesn't have it: https://archive.org/details/encyclopediaofso0001unse_m2w7/pa...

Alright what about programming language text book?

Well, "Programming language design concepts" (2004) also doesn't mention it https://archive.org/details/programminglangu0000watt/mode/2u...

What about Donald Knuth? Surely! Nope, not on the versions of his text on archive.org at least.

Oh let's go to arxiv. I'm sure of the ~400 CS papers that go up daily there'd be hundreds of ... oh wait, we got 5 spreading over 17 years: https://arxiv.org/search/?query=%22total+language%22&searcht... about 1 every 3 years. Alright.

And thus with 5 different sampling methods all supporting the same conclusion I will support the claim that it is obscure.

I know how on the internet, vibes tends to win over cited defensible evidence but I did it anyway. Maybe we can be all be adults some day.
They'd still be duplicated in RAM in the page cache… which is the real problem with static linking.
Show HN: My simple Markdown-based tasks and knowledge management system
1. Why

After lots of hours (days?) spent building complex note-taking systems I never actually use, I got tired of it and went for a way simpler Markdown option.

My main goal with this system was to integrate tasks within notes and knowledge.

The task system was designed as an extension of the Markdown langage.

I created a software to overview every tasks from my Markdown vault: https://github.com/louis-thevenet/vault-tasks

2. In practice

Here is how a note with tasks looks like:

# SQL Notes
## Introduction

Here goes some introduction of SQL

- [ ] Review these notes tomorrow
The `tomorrow` keyword gets automatically
replaced with the concrete date by vault-tasks

- [ ] SQL Exam 12/12 8:00 #exams
(This task has a subtask)
- [ ] Go get the SQL book
Reference: XXXYYYZZZ

Then we keep writing our note

## The Basics

> Or are all music player that shit now?

If you mean the streaming ones compared to things like WinAmp, yes. Slow loading of the pages that should have been cached. No direct way to search your library, as in your library only, but the entire library, not just a playlist. Less smooth fade-in/-out on play/pause than WinAmp had decades ago. If there even is offline file support, it's an afterthought. No better organization than simple Albums/Playlists (ex. no tagging system).
That’s a good point. I do think there still is some space to focus on just the coding as an engineer, but with AI the space is getting smaller.
SVG feels much like HTML to me, especially when animations are involved: on the first sight it is quite nice and simple, does its job well, can be handled by fairly basic viewers (as well as converters, editors) and generated easily. Then there are even more features with CSS and JS, which also look neat, but then simplicity goes away, along with it goes the wide support of full functionality, and compatibility (due to partial support, unexpected behaviors in different contexts). It still looks like a fine option when animations are needed, but I would rather avoid those in SVG when they are not necessary.

Well this sounds delightful! Glad to be free of the thinking and creativity!

Honestly, kind of amazing to see a big city actually pull it off. So many places talk about reducing car dependence and improving air quality, but Paris really committed - and the data speaks for itself. Of course, the pushback from drivers was inevitable (it always is), but it's hard to argue with 55% less PM2.5 and cleaner skies over the Eiffel Tower. That's not just good urban policy - that's public health in action.
> What education did we give them to prosper as an industrialized nation?

That's an odd question, given that Prussian schooling was invented to turn children into productive factory workers.
I would love to disagree, but after being involved with Gaia X… they cannot even pin down what Gaia X is, even when prompted to. It’s something about a standard for creating standards for a European cloud, but by now we’re several years and even more meta layers in, millions have been spent, and… nothing has come out of it.

It feels like the EU could be so much, if only other people were steering it.
Makes me wonder how much of this kind of progress other cities could get just from phasing out the dirtiest vehicles without going straight to car-free zones
I have become disillusioned with consumer laptops in this price range. In the past 1-2 years, I have had two different Asus Vivobooks die on me just outside the 24month warranty window. In both cases, I had to pay addiotional money to then have their repair department quote me
price 110% of a new specimen, for 'repair'.
That such pricy devices can blow up irrepairably in a window of 25 months, is not acceptable.
I’m sad that the “fix” was to disallow “no” as a more readable alternative to “false”, rather than to disallow unquoted strings.

The features page you've linked is the best place to look for an overview of what we provide. It lists what we change and add compared to the latest release of the Android Open Source Project or the stock Pixel OS. Lots of important features are listed together in a single section, particularly in the exploit protection section / sub-sections covering a huge portion of what we provide in terms of security. It covers most of what we provide other than assorted smaller changes. Also worth noting we remove features from the list when they become standard Android features, and we successfully got various features we implemented into the Linux kernel or Android Open Source Project.

Here's an example demonstrating the impact of our security improvements:

https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/14344-cellebrite-premium-ju...

February 2025 Cellebrite Premium documentation was posted by someone further down in the thread, which is essentially the same overall situation.

https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/20401-grapheneos-improvemen... has some details on how we've improved that since early 2024.

The stock Pixel OS is approximately AOSP with a bunch of Google apps deeply integrated into it. Pixels don't actually change anything compared to the AOSP code, they just substitute various components with their own and add a bunch of overlays, apps, etc. AOSP has all the stuff they need to provide that included already. They give extensive privileged access to Google Play and various other apps via privileged permissions, SELinux MAC/MLS policy (which is included in AOSP) and various allowlisting, etc. They also use Play services, etc. as backends for various AOSP APIs. One of our major features is our sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer enabling running Google Play services, Google Play Store, Google Search, etc. as regular sandboxed apps with no special access at all where users don't even need to grant them the regular non-privileged permissions like Contacts, Location, etc. to use most of their functionality (some functionality requires that such as if you wanted to use Google Maps location sharing or Google Contacts sync).
I don’t say this easily, but the people behind this should be fired on the spot. It’s bad. Like a showcase on how not to design an app. I could probably write a whole essay on it.

If someone from Apple happens to read this, get that staff some UX design courses, have them read “About Face : Interaction Design” a couple of times. You are not going to beat spotify with this mess.
The basic ones (and things like the Citroën Ami) are more A-traktor than bicycle – there’s an A-traktor registered Ami in the next village along from me – but that’s typically a software limit. The Twizy could be bought in an 80km/h variant, and there are “remaps” that will take that version up to 110km/h.[1] I’ve seen them doing near that on riksvägar here.

Median voters voted for Trump because they wanted a regime change after feeling the economic shock of covid. This is the trend across basically every democratic country. Polls on the issue itself show that this split is not 50/50 though the actual number escapes me.
It’s all trade offs, though. The US has vast problems with identity theft, fraud, and perverse privacy violations, because there is no regulation in that area. The market will only care about profits, and not the humans on whose backs these profits are materialised.

There must be something in between these extremes on the spectrum.
It's a planned feature but isn't a high priority. It's hard for us to get to it with all the other things we want to implement. We'll add it one day. We need to keep hiring more developers and expanding to do more.
The most effective changes probably come from stacking a bunch of smaller, less dramatic policies that add up over time: cleaner vehicles, better public transit, quieter freight solutions, smarter zoning, etc
Plus aircrafs can use Earth gravity map. Sensors became accurate enough to detect minuscule changes in gravity strength to position aircraft to few hundred meters.
