Trade in War

news.ycombinator.com Peter Dizikes 2025-12-12 23:58:28

In World War II, Britain was fighting for its survival against German aerial bombardment. Yet Britain was importing dyes from Germany at the same time. This sounds curious, to put it mildly. How can two countries at war with each other also be trading goods? Examples of this abound, actually. Britain also traded with its enemies for almost all of World War I. India and Pakistan conducted trade with each other during the First Kashmir War, from 1947 to 1949, and during the India-Pakistan War of

Git for Music – Using Version Control for Music Production (2023)

news.ycombinator.com Yet Another Tech Guy'S Blog 2025-12-17 18:23:09

last updated on 6 Apr 2024 Being both a musician and a software engineer, I always felt that these two areas are almost completely separated. My developer skill-set seemed to have little to no use for my work as a musician. Which is a pity considering how cool it would be if there was some kind of a sinergy across these two sides of my life. Recently, though, I have found a useful possibility to utilize something I previously used solely for my development work, namely, git, the version contro

Apple’s stance on strong encryption gets the support of the FTC in US privacy U-turn

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-12-17 22:35:53

Apple’s commitment to end-to-end encryption is so strong that it withdrew a key privacy feature from the UK market rather than be forced to compromise it globally. The company also faced pressure on this front from the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA). In a surprising twist, the White House came out in support of strong encryption, and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is now urging Apple and other tech giants to stand firm on the issue … The US’s changing narrative on strong encryption I des

The last 11-inch MacBook Air model ever made has now been declared officially obsolete by Apple, some nine years after it was last sold by the company. The smallest of Apple’s MacBooks had long proved a popular choice with many, for two different reasons … First, it was the cheapest MacBook and bought by many of those who were buying their first ever Mac.

Concurrency is one of Go’s greatest strengths, but it comes with a fundamental trade-off: when multiple goroutines process data simultaneously, the natural ordering gets scrambled.
