Does it appear in any HIBP datasets? https://haveibeenpwned.com/

If you're talking about the Dock demo (vs the Windows taskbar), it's not so much the Dock itself getting that reaction but more so the Genie effect. Mac OS X 10.0 and its Quartz Compositor did enable window effects beyond what Windows was capable of at the time--Windows didn't get a compositing window manager until Vista was released in 2007.

Can't seem to get a few of the achievements:

* Roaring Kitty (Definitely made over 100k on bitcoin trades)

* Polyglot (Duolingo no longer appears -- did I need to never answer any incorrectly? It seemed like incorrectly answered questions re-appeared later)

The eight medals (had to peek at the source to confirm a couple of them):

It is entirely believable that UHC is working with some crisis management firm to try to manage public perception, and that part of their strategy is to try to get media portraying Mangione positively taken off the internet, whether or not they have legal grounds to do so.

There have been so many past stories about companies using illegitimate DMCA claims that I'm surprised you consider it obviously not UHC or someone working with them. It is possible, but I don't think it's a forgone conclusion.

There have been many settings of this poem to music but the best known one (at least by choral nerds) might be the unauthorized one by Eric Whitacre: https://ericwhitacre.com/music-catalog/sleep

A recording with the original lyrics exists: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDH5R_BgheI

From a quick skim of the repository, it looks like this is only for accessories/devices that you own. I hope that this is the case, and that it doesn't work for the "Find My Friends" functionality.

I'm okay sharing my location with trusted people so that they can occasionally manually check where I currently am. I don't like the idea of them theoretically being able to automatically record my location and build a complete history of my movements over time.

The full text search is a little confusing because it doesn't actually search them in order, though it appears to at first. And if you click "next" a few times and then "prev" the same number of times, you don't necessarily end up back at the same UUID you were at before. It's a neat-seeming trick though.

Those look like Lime scooters, right? It seems like with a time and location, Lime ought to be able to identify whose account was used to rent the scooters. They store a GPS trace for every ride.

As someone who hasn't heard of him before, from the first few seconds of this video, I'd say it sounds similar enough to be an imperfect AI clone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMofZIT9FcQ

Ironically, Android being an "open platform" competitor to the closed iPhone was one of its major initial selling propositions.

Andy Rubin, 2008: "A developer will be able to use it as a platform and they'll be able to develop their application on the Android platform. But also because of its openness, a developer will be able to modify the platform, make the platform better. Therefore, because the platform is open, we think Android is somewhat future-proof." https://www.cnet.com/videos/t-mobile-launches-g1-first-googl...

> Once you grab your dubious device, the seller has already got your bucks in exchange of a fake device.

Unless you're buying your flash device on the street and paying cash, you likely can return it or initiate a chargeback.

And even if you can't undo the purchase, it's better to know whether a device is fraudulent before you start filling it up with real data that you don't want to lose.

This is very cool; I'm a huge fan of creative visualizations of music. I would love to see an animated version of the quilt image that is synced to music and highlights each piece of the quilt corresponding to the current measure. I was eventually able to understand enough of how the musical features of Anitra's Dance corresponded to the quilt design elements to be able to do that for the Part 1 quilt, but it took me a fair bit of time, and I think a guided version might be more accessible to people with less music experience to help them grok the relationship between music and quilt.

It doesn't look like they are active there.

Annotating other websites was a side quest along the way for Genius, but its original creation was focused on annotating rap lyrics. It took them 5 years to drop "Rap" from the name "Rap Genius". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genius_(company)#History

Love the classic old-school internet design aesthetic -- looks like it was made using Macromedia Dreamweaver. Internet Archive has snapshots for this fansite as old as 2000, which helps explain the lack of references to the reimagined 2004 series.

> You want one that doesn't require a consolation with a manual to remember if it returns the first value that's greater or the last value that's lower. ... No more needing to remember "does this return the highest index whose value is lower than the value I'm searching for, or the lowest index whose value is greater than the value I'm searching for?". This one returns both, so you can use whichever you need for your use case.

This (italicized part) feels like a weird requirement. Function/API documentation (which this author's code lacks) is important, and I don't think I ever write a call to an unfamiliar function without checking the docs for it. Assuming that you know what a function does based on the name alone is a recipe for buggy code.

This is also a kind of unusual formulation of binary search which searches across a monotonic function space rather than a sequence. I get that this is more general and can be used to implement the latter, but a less general interface that only works on sequences is IMO more intuitive: in that case, I expect it to return either the index of the target number, or the index where it should be inserted if not found. It's somewhat telling that the author doesn't offer any code examples demonstrating how to use this wonderful general function to solve the common use case of finding an element in a sorted vector, or inserting a new one into the correct location.

> The AGPL requires you to publish all of your source code if you make any changes to the product; the Elastic License just says, "don't use our code to make a direct competitor to Elasticsearch". I find the former to be much more restrictive in most practical ways since the majority of companies don't want to open source their code, but very few of them plan to sell hosted search.

There's two ways that this doesn't seem right to me, though it hinges on the vague term "interacting" and how it's interpreted.

Suppose I use Elasticsearch to power website search on my company's website -- maybe something like a customer support knowledge base of a bunch of FAQs and support articles, and I make some modifications to Elasticsearch to better fit my requirements. My website makes calls to an Elasticsearch service to provide search results.

1. Based on my interpretation of the AGPL, visitors to my site who make searches are not remotely interacting with the Elasticsearch software that I am running; they are not sending requests directly to the Elasticsearch software, and thus they have no rights to its source code under the AGPL. (I'm not suggesting that a proxy server that passes on requests and responses unmodified would be the same situation.)

2. If they do in fact have rights to the source code, it is only to the modified version of Elasticsearch, not "all my source code" (which could include the web server software itself).

I have seen some brands that do essentially this, e.g.: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wjeonOCdL._AC_SL1500_....

Personally I just keep a few rolls of single-ply Scott on hand for backup if my stock gets too low.

I'm a little confused by the context and comments here. Is Trieve associated with HN at all or is this an independent/third-party offering? Is the Algolia search going anywhere? Will the search field on HN still take me to Algolia search or is that changing?

No, this author has just been blogging about low-level Mac details for a long time. And I feel like it's readily apparent from the quality of the posts that they're written by an expert and not by AI. https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=eclecticlight.co

I meant this part:

> If a contestant attempts to ring in before the gameboard lights activate, the system locks out their signal for a quarter of a second.

This discourages contestants from repeatedly tapping the buzzer before the question has finished being read.

Do you implement the Jeopardy!-style buzzer lockout or can contestants hit their buzzers as much as they want without penalty? https://www.jeopardy.com/jbuzz/behind-scenes/how-does-jeopar...

I believe that explaininjs is making a pedantic/semi-tongue-in-cheek joke about the gimmick of Jeopardy where the clues are "answers" and contestants buzz in to respond with the "question". https://youtu.be/KDTxS9_CwZA?t=156

The kernel does not have an API that exposes that representation to user code; system calls operate on timespec structs

  struct timespec {
        time_t   tv_sec;        /* seconds */
        long     tv_nsec;       /* nanoseconds */
  };

> The number overflows and the date will jump back 278 billion years before the Big Bang? Needles to say, this needs to be fixed. Luckily, we have 33 life times of our Sun to solve this problem but we could propose some solutions even today.

Based on this, it has to be a joke, or at least a tongue-in-cheek exercise that is "solving" an imaginary problem.

Still a branch, I think. https://github.com/openjdk/valhalla

Not sure if there is any relevant reason for this to be posted at this particular point in time. The most recent early-access build is from 2022: https://jdk.java.net/valhalla/

Edit: regarding replies about the recent update date -- that update date is tied to the linked Jira issue (https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8251554) and the only activity four days ago was adding links to some related issues. There were some updates to the description two months ago but the History view makes it difficult to determine what those are without manually copy-and-pasting the old revisions into some sort of diff tool
