> Airbus said in a statement that a recent incident involving an A320-family aircraft had revealed that intense solar radiation may corrupt data critical to the functioning of flight controls.

And this is addressed via software update?

I don’t think it exists. An empty folder perhaps. Guaranteed bug free.

Hard to tell from their main website what warp is anymore - I thought it was a terminal, but now it's an AI code editor? Or is it just a terminal that looks extremely like a code editor? Gotta tap into that sweet unlimited pile of AI cash I guess.

This really hits home, since I’m working on trying to achieve similar spread of maintainership on pyinfra[1] (which I note is much less popular than Caddy). But all the same issues and out of control GH notifications. Hope this goes well, Caddy is awesome software!

Previously submitted (not by me), but removed due to the usual flagging of all such content. Used actual title so not afowl of HN rules.

When, not if.

For coding I only use it for simple or easy tasks, given up with anything complicated because I’m sick of hand holding it (I have children already!).

But for marketing… as someone with zero marketing skill, pretty useful.

I believe that 7% is just App Store [1]? Including hardware it’d be much more significant.

This is great so long as the EU keeps its spine and doesn’t budge. Apple has behaved like a petulant child with the DMA and there’s zero chance their shareholders will willingly drop such a significant revenue %. The EU holds a lot of sway here, just don’t blink first please.

Yet another wrapper on chromium, no thank you.

> We'll keep support for MV2 extensions for as long as possible.

“As long as possible” being _exactly_ why chromium wrappers have zero value.

Depressingly this feels like a long lost battle. I suspect internet freedoms will continue to be eroded and by the time most people care enough it’ll be too late.

My optimistic brain is hopeful for federated services to become the norm and stand up to this kind of crap.

Yet another flagged post, this should be unflagged and returned to the default homepage.

Sad way HN is moving recently - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44867068

Bought some drives recently having come to the same conclusion. Future of the internet looks bleak.

100%. How is this even remotely considered newsworthy.

The problem isn’t home usage, or data centers. It’s the total lack of investment since the water companies were privatised and moved to a model of money extraction for shareholders. Now we have no new capacity in years and more leaks (waste and clean) than ever, and yet it’s always the public who need to save a little more or pay increased bills.

Successive governments (both sides) have been shown to be totally spineless with water regulation, despite significant public outrage. Privatisation has been a huge failure and yet we appear to be stuck in this position.

Unsurprisingly this has been buried on HN, plenty of posts with way fewer votes per time on page 1. The censorship is everywhere. Utterly depressing.

Thrilled Labour actually followed through on this. Especially as the population ages we need some balance to the hordes of retirees voting right so they can keep their oversized homes and ludicrous triple lock at the expense of young people.

Now where’s the age cap?

Weirdly another submission of this was just on the front page before it was nuked: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44598153

I really hope the EU keeps up the pressure. The level of control the gatekeepers have is beyond ridiculous. Sure there’s the “take your money elsewhere” option but we’re at a point where that’s just not realistic to be a normal person. (My sons nursery for example requires an app that only exists on iOS/Android).

EU looks set to be the only big enough institution with any spine or willingness to take this on. Will probably take years if it ever happens due to all this legal dance bullshit, but I really hope they win eventually, even if it’s just for the benefit of EU citizens (of which I am, sadly, not).

Mid 30s, started writing code 20 years ago, totally hooked since day one.

Slightly altered title title get in the limit.

Funnily enough smartwatches weren’t tested for this use case. Makes me think of self driving cars running people down in unknown situations. Ah the future.

Someone thought it’d be an optimisation to send meta tags outside of the initial request response? For real? The frontend universe is so unhinged.

Victoriametrics for metrics (7x ram reduction vs prom), Loki for logs but evaluating Victorialogs. Then grafana for ui. Cannot recommend vm enough, it’s fantastic.

There’s a good 5 part series on this from 2014: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7636066. Fascinating how slow and brittle the system is. Even more so that it’s not been upgraded to something real-time (see:Europe).

Sounds like we should adopt this (the homebrew and apparently superior) system to the whole country and dump PLTRs spy stack.

I’m done with iOS, apples endless anti user/developer bullshit has pushed me over the edge. For my next phone I’ll be moving back to Android-ish something sans google components.

The same process is happening to macOS too, but at least Linux is an easy switch there.

https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX can do it

Moved to wasabi from their s3-like b2 product because it was so utterly unreliable. Pretty wild list of things if true.
