> This said, I object greatly to the article's outlandish posturing that he knows WHY Apple offers free engraving and it is for the cynical reason he stated

Well, they obviously plan to make money off of it somehow, right? Do you object to that, or are you upset because you think that he thinks that?

Yeah, I'm less than a year into this hobby so I'm far from an authority.

Re: TX16S. I have both the TX16S (running EdgeTX) and the T-Lite. I strongly prefer the T-Lite for it's compactness and portability. If I succeed in shifting the fleet over to ELRS, I'll probably get a nano ELRS module for it. The TX16S is a very nice radio but I can fit the T-Lite, a whoop or 'pick, and my goggles in my backpack with tons of room to spare.

For SharkByte, I bought goggles with HDMI-in (Skyzone Cobra-X), with the anticipation of upgrading if my interest in the hobby held and the technology evolved. People look down on box goggles but I really appreciate the compatibility with glasses and being able to hand them to anyone with no adjustment needed. DJI's vendor lock-in puts right next to Apple in tech that I've just written off.

I believe sub250 is exempt from RemoteID for hobbyists because they are not required to be registered. If you're 107, then you still need it, of course.
Seemed overrated to me. Maybe I got the dose wrong but the purity can be so inconsistent that everyone's going to have a different experience. I'd much rather take some classic LSD, you know what you're in for and it doesn't end disappointingly early like 2C-B.
Thanks for sharing, looks interesting!
Interesting. I had the opposite experience. I had a 16GB M1, and once the RAM is exhausted it grinds to a halt - everything lags, including simple tasks like switching browser tabs, every now and then the spinning beach ball of death would come on. It was the worst experience I've had in a modern laptop.

Now I'm on a 64GB M1 Max and things are super snappy again. (Monterey on the other hand is buggy as hell, simple things like tap to click and pinch to zoom are broken. [1])

As the author you can always re-release the code under MIT but once it's released under MIT corporations can whole sale rip your work off for their own profit. If you keep it closed source or GPL it then you maintain some breathing room from another company just swooping in and monetizing you code for their profit.
The riddle for me is why someone would consider a flat blue box, colorized photos, or a signed urinal "art". I suspect that Elon Musk could sign a brick and call it art and people would buy it.

Sure. But you don't actually save any money. Instead of paying the "market rate" transaction fee you turn away one "market rate" transaction fee to include yours instead.

Ramadan fasting is only during daylight hours, and is not remotely like foregoing food entirely for even 36 hours.
I don't think pg says it's founders-only until you prove product-market fit. Usually it takes some hires and seed funding to run some experiments and show proof. Product-market fit is more of a Series A requirement.

If the cash cost of running experiments goes way up, that may very well mean going back to the old way of doing things, where you essentially had to jump straight to VC money just to get off the ground.

This is a great tutorial, although the one complaint I had was the errors in the pdf version (can't remember the specifics).. took me a while to realise the html version was far superior.

For those interested in this subject with regards to allergies, this papers might be of interest:

1/http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4190937/ - short term allergic response reduced in mice as an effect of fasting, but returned after a bit of time.

The study is from august 2014, and in it's short literature review it doesn't mention any prior research regarding fasting allergy.

2/http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14519913 - weekly 1-day fasting decreased symptoms in a single female suffering from skin allergies.there's also some previous research talking about such effects in mice

Persona is/was great. It's hard to get a grassroots/delegated identity service off the ground when everyone has a Facebook/Google account (and doesn't understand the privacy tradeoff). The lack of support for delegation (the original use case for OAuth) was also a problem.
I find interesting that we usually compare so called "elite developers" with areas like sports, where an objective comparison can be established (Usain Bolt is better because he can consistently run 100m a couple of 1/100 sec faster than anyone else) [Edited for clarification, I mean their elite peers]

I'm not sure if we should also make comparison with the productivity of "elite writers" (even though there are best seller authors), "elite doctors", or "elite plumbers"
> Functional reactive programming, or FRP, is simply reactive programing in a functional style.

Functional Reactive Programming is a programming model invented by Paul Hudak and Conal Elliott. As Conal says on C2. There are other reactive programming systems that are functional but not FRP.

Also note that people often use the term "reactive programming" to mean "the programming of reactive applications." Obviously, data flow doesn't have to be used to make something reactive, which is a property of the artifact and does not depend on how it was built.

> Selecting the specific destination text I want to overwrite blows away my previous selection.

Oof, is this the normal Linux behavior? That sounds annoying. In MacOS every app (or even tab) has its own separate highlight that it maintains. So in your example, selecting text in the browser would leave the terminal unaffected, and when you bring the terminal back to the foreground your text is still highlighted.

The fundamental problem is that politics needs a career track for people to become good at it.

This is pretty cool. Also, thanks for your work on Scala.JS related stuff!
> nobody would really bother..

I did, last summer, converted all images (35K) on my NSFW hobby site (check profile) to WebP with no jpeg fallback or shabby javascript decoder (which don't work on very high res images), and haven't looked back.

On my journey to 1000ms-to-glass with a site like mine, I'm going to go with the format that gives me dramatic size savings, thank you Google.

That said, I can see how it benefits Firefox users not to be able to render WebP... sigh.

It would be helpful if 4chan followed my lead by at least allowing users to post WebP with something like mod_pagespeed running.
How will this impact research into artificial neural nets?
I don't disagree, but that converse is typically even more true. The strong defense of your approach here is "it's a tiny amount of data, period" (which - paraphrasing - you've said elsewhere). I am 100% behind the notion that one should be careful when responding to packet loss with increased traffic.
It could have been but right now, 1.5 years after launch, Steam on Linux feels quite half-hearted. Steam Machines which were supposed to bring SteamOS (and Linux) to the masses have failed to materialize. Looking at the Linux game releases it seems like Valve is not providing enough developer support to make high-quality releases. Instead what I have seen, the games have been quite inconsistent from techincal point of view. Maybe half of the games (or less) in my library work at all on my Arch Linux systems, even after some minor tweaking. I wonder what they intend to do in couple of years when now-current Ubuntu becomes so outdated that nobody runs it anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if they end up shipping some sort of Ubuntu environment to run the games in.
Those are not on GNU/Linux systems.

As for the market size it is a matter of perspective. On my home country iOS comes out on third place.

Apple has said that the Mac App Store will be available in early January for Snow Leopard. Wouldn't be surprised to see it be "even better" on Lion once it eventually ships, but Snow Leopard is definitely supported.
> Moodiness? I can give you human examples of this trait; but what specifically do you have in mind about God that portrays Him as such? This way I know we are communicating about the same thing.

God throws a few temper tantrums in the Old Testament. Either way the Christian God is not the God I might believe in. I sometimes believe in a creator who, for the purposes of familiarity, I call God.

> "Overly worried" - I know of no text in all of the Bible that portrays God as anxious about anything. Maybe you mean to say "chronically concerned with" what people think?

Yeah, that is what I meant. I will change that, thanks.

> The categories of love and hate as you are discussing seem to require a little work. Whenever we see God's unchanging love discussed, at least Scripturally, to what does it refer? And if God chose not to love, would that make Him less than divine somehow?

I don't personally believe the scriptures are anything but contradictory pseudo-history combined with fiction, so I cannot answer your question.

> "Humans are arrogant and we project our own humanness onto everything" -- that is utterly true. Thank you for acknowledging it. But could it be you are projecting your own preferences of what God would be like if He existed? How do you escape this human flaw while the rest of us can't or won't?

Of course, I am. I can only maybe accept that there was a creator. Everything else is just pure speculation. I'd like to think that this creator is unfathomable to mankind. That being said, I often doubt that this creator exists at all.

> By the way, if God turns out to be real and He is preeminently concerned with what you think about Him, what grounds would have to object to His preoccupation with making you see how ultimate and satisfying He is?

Well if he was right in front of me I would obviously admit I was wrong. If he cares as much as you say I'm sure he'd be pretty upset at me. At that point he would either have to understand where I was coming from, or send me to hell.

Either way, I'm willing to take that risk.

> and the engineers/technicians/??? who made the choice not to use corrosion inhibitor, which actually caused the problem

As dreadful as it was-- that choice hardly seems likely to be a crime. Negligent sure, but where is the criminal intent? "muhaha I'll make everyone sick!" hardly.

In an event like flint I'd expect the only crimes to be attempts to cover it up, not the event itself. ... and it seems like the the desire to prosecute the people "at fault" caused them to give immunity to the people who actually committed crimes.
> I'm never going to use DDG ever again.

The removals were a rarity. It's not as if you can't add a `!g` bang query to redirect to Google if you can't find something. And DDG is rampant with all sorts of stuff that shouldn't be there, so I don't think they're hellbent on censorship.
Because learning Flash was easier than learning HTML5. The tools and scripting were incredibly easy. No one has made a good easy-to-use HTML5 editor. As complex as Unity can get, it's a better option than learning HTML5 these days. I hope one day a powerful low-friction successor to Flash will appear.

Quality is subjective. The value Nintendo was preserving with their cartridge licensing was the retail price. Too many low-cost games taking up shelf space in retail stores makes it harder to sell premium games. Games were sold for Nintendo consoles at remarkable prices, which encouraged studios to invest in high quality games. Chrono Trigger in 1995 was released for 11400yen (US$124.50 at the time).

But an app store doesn't have the limitation of inventory. No number of low-cost games will impair the ability to sell the premium titles. Not needing to worry about dilution, the store operator reverts to rent-seeking behavior and will approve the most number of games as they can. Or will create artificial scarcity by restricting access to popular titles.

When buying physical media, licensing balances the needs of the publisher, producer, and customer. But in the digital world there's almost no overlap.
Please explain how we are to practically identify "idiomatic, standard code that a slightly above average developer would plausibly write."

I don't know either way, but the claim that the virus escaped from a lab is hardly outrageous. It is well within the sphere of possibilities that are worth examining. Lab leaks have happened before.
> If the US is such an awful country why do so many clamor to immigrate here?

This implies the choice to migrate to the US is rational and well researched, weighted against other nice places like Luxemburg, Sweden, Switzerland. In practice, it's just the largest Western country, so gets you the most blanket quantity of Western opportunity per unit of migration hassle.
This comment adds nothing to the discussion, and seems to be what quite a few of the HN guidelines say not to do.
For one thing, Google doesn't have complete control over Android. Facebook preinstalls itself onto many phones, and oftentimes updates to its apps are installed without any Google involvement whatsoever — they have an updater app that is capable of silently installing apks the same way Google Play does.

How often have I seen innocent statements postfixed with smileys in open source projects?

"Don't worry, we only want a little bit of X."

Fast forward a couple of years, and the innocent group suddenly owns the mailing lists, the infrastructure, director seats, the chief ideologue position and subjugates the core developers who want to get hired by the innocent people.

rust-analyzer with VSCode works fantastically well for me.
Yeah, totally agree on sports. But, that's part of the problem - kids specializing in a single sport before high school? That's bonkers to m.

When I was in school, very few kids specialized, even through high school. The top football players were also the best wrestlers or basketball players, and most also played baseball or track or lacrosse. Few of them did school basketball and then AAU the remainder of the year.

My son stuck to club/rec basketball (instead of the school team) and volleyball (school team, but mens volleyball prior to high school isn't really a thing in DC).

And, like you said, there's always cycling, martial arms, or track/field (typically takes all interested).

I also agree with keeping kids active/engaged. But, to me, that means supporting them as they pick their own activities, not scheduling every second of their non-school time.

Edit - many of the kids specializing before high school are pretty obviously NOT destined for scholarship athletics. There's really no point to it, IMO. I coached football and basketball for much of my son's youth. Of all the kids I coached, 1 went on to NCAA D1 sports (and that was to W&M, where he still had to meet stringent academic standards).
Another aspect: How much inadvertent child pornography has Proctorio captured and stored within their system? What are their controls around handling and removing this data? Is anyone with access to this data a registered sex offender?

Of course you're not obligated. But it's in all of our best interest to talk with them rather than suppress their voices (however crazy). Many metrics relating to quality of life for many Americans are trending in the wrong direction. We cannot afford to further decouple people from society. This isn't just for the rural working classes but also the inner city poor. People need to feel worth and have a life of meaning otherwise they can become dangerous liabilities.

You're right, your inference method isn't science. Science is "given two relatively similar municipalities, if one enforces a mask mandate, cases decrease in that municipality compared to the other". A finding that was repeatedly verified on the scale of cities, counties, and nations.

That months after mask mandates were enforced, case rates went up everywhere, including in places where masks weren't enforced, doesn't sound like it has particularly much to do with masks.

Fortunately, "just use Nix" doesn't do much on its own. People usually want GCC or another complete C toolchain, a C standard library, etc. and this implies that they will use nixpkgs or one of its forks. If people try to "just use Nix" in anger, then they will almost certainly be funneled into using nixpkgs as a matter of practice.

The main problem with reproducibility in science is that most scientists are not actually interested in doing science. Of course software will not fix this problem.
But if you flip that around, that means you have a vote on what everyone else uses.
