His consistency seems really important to me, but it isn’t as remarked upon as, for example, his perfectionism.

When you look at Apple’s product timeline, you can see he’s always thinking several years ahead. Plenty of good products were just bridges to great products. Some products didn’t make any sense until later.

Probably one reason that people like to speculate about Apple’s plans is that Apple actually uses plans, as opposed to hopes. I doubt Microsoft or Google could give more accurate pictures of where they’ll be in 10 years.
I somewhat agree, but I don't think it's such a big deal for the average visitor.

Honestly, they hired me as a technical writer and it turns out I write code, that writes code, that writes code, really well.

What the fuck I'm going to do for the rest of my career, I don't know.

Honestly, I don't really care given my meteoric rise from lowly philosopher to lisp-dev uber alles.
Did the CIA install their "LAN"? How else would a worm be able to hit something so sensitive? Sneakernet?

Hmm maybe it's just a European thing, you can typically fly most places in Europe/North Africa for for a couple of hundred dollars. Getting to the US isn't much more. Hotels on the other hand tend to be more expensive + hotel tax can be pricey.

And you do actually get the awful trade-off with planes in Europe as well, you get budget airlines like Ryan Air which many people don't travel on because they're so bad.
Are you talking about a T1 per office? a T1 for 80 people seems way underspecced.

I work at a company of 4-8 people. If the internet is down for an hour, think of the cost of those salaries that is wasted.

Internet access is super critical to our business. I have worked at enough places where the internet was flaky, it is not an experience I want to repeat.
But perhaps English isn't their native language.

Or perhaps there are regional variants of English where this is a normal way to ask a question. There are probably lots of idioms that work in one area but would be offensive in another, and it's not always easy to predict.
The situation is awful and I'm surprised the article doesn't mention Nestlé, who has turned huge profits bottling and selling CA's largely non-renewable groundwater throughout its historic droughts.

Getting those parts into public supply chain benefits you no matter where you live.

The current state of affairs is that manufacturers in China strike deals with Apple, etc, to only sell ICs to them.

This is an end-run around that practice.
You're right, but let's say one side strikes first and the other is impacted but doesn't have their military command totally wiped out. They're probably going to respond back with more nukes. And what'll be the response to that?

Even if it may not be a total "ensure every square mile is in range of blasts or fallout", and even if maybe not every single person in either country dies, it'd likely quickly escalate into humanity's worst catastrophe (so far...).

I could potentially see tactical nuclear weapons being deployed in theaters that are far away from any superpower's homeland, though, as almost happened several times during the Cold War.
Well, technically there have been many potential options for transaction increases. I just favor Ethereum for various reasons such as social momentum and technical soundness.

Maybe I should buy some CFX though.
Sql databases usually come with their own date types that are implemented with integers behind the curtains. They take up less space and are easier to sort than text fields.

EDIT: also I wouldn’t consider this egregious. If the Senior explains and the person was happy to learn something then that’s a good outcome. If they are stubborn about it, then that wouldn’t be great.

But, they did try:

My understanding is, however, that they simply weren't all that noteworthy.

Also, bear in mind the degree of pivot required - it's not merely a shift in strategy, but a fundamental transformation, from developing films, into developing entire electronic devices, with all the entirely new skills required in industrial design, UI, and so forth.

It can, of course, be done - Fujifilm has managed to continue in the digital photography sector, although they were rather more broadly based to begin with. Similarly, Nikon and Canon were already acquainted with what was necessary in a DSLR, and were able to transition to the digital world with aplomb.

To provide some context, consider this rec.photo thread from 1990, on the future of photography:

You cannot say a whole field is fake because of a single experiments on students of that field. Neither can you by looking at people using their diploma but lacking the real expertise. I know chemistry PhDs I would never let run even the simplest experiment... They still boast on social media that they are experts, same with people selling wine and lying to clients to make them believe the wine is good or taste like chocolate...

I come back every so often to check out Julia again. I have hopes for it.

Some questions still in mind since I reviewed previously

(1) How is its database connectivity?

(2) Is there something like python's `requests` lib?

(3) Are the features mature enough that I don't anticipate major rewrites for code each year?
Suburbs are such a thorny problem. They are so inefficient and often badly designed. But they are there now. They are affordable and lots of people like living in them. It's going to take a lot of work in the coming decades to figure out what to do with all these suburbs now that we have them.

Maybe these low-density settlements can be some inspiration to how to solve the problem?
To make an engine it's ok just to gather a bunch of programmers.

To make a game (even a tiny one) you need artists, sound designer, designers and so on and that's what makes it significantly harder
I think this may have been an attempt at humor by ruined where the post they made employs similar phrasing that dang uses when he's informing a user about a violation of the HN guidelines.
That's a good example.

My current view on this is that it makes more sense to see it as a distribution of personality types and that gender is a red herring. It takes a fairly specific type of person to pursue computer science and coding for intrinsic reasons, and it is difficult enough that it takes some degree of intrinsic motivation to do well enough at it for it to be profitable. As it stands, the salary draw is already as high as it probably can be (in fact, I believe salaries to be in a bubble) in the US at least, and there are enough scholarships, programs, and free resources that almost anyone who is even somewhat motivated and not socio-economically crushed at the onset can start the process with some degree of ease and the expectation of high rewards at the end.

Hence the extrinsic draw of the profession is already as strong as you could expect. There is still cultural stigma, but that is being erased naturally since programmers have a high socio-economic status for the most part and indoor activities are more and more popular and mainstream. The only real problem left is intrinsic motivation, and if it is tied to your personality type as per my hypothesis, I don't see how you could meaningfully change it. Or to be more precise, the mechanisms of change that are available to us are already well underway.
I genuinely think HN is subject to what Clay Christensen put as "disruptive innovation" when it comes to Blockchain and friends (strange to say that for a community as opposed to a company).

I understand that many on HN think of the many ICOs as Ponzi schemes, and other tech (like identity, DBs, VPNs, apps, or even alternate WWW) built on top as smokes and mirrors; but the industry being built around it is very real even if niche. There's a lot going on (including research) and it seems to me like, one fine day, like how ARM sneaked up on x86, Blockchain is going to take HN by surprise. And then, the disruption would have truly arrived.

It isn't like the best sounding tech wins anyways.
So what ? That would be a fantastic way to screw this up, especially if a large fraction of all travelers would do it.

Of course Google could offer the same thing. My proposed title change would be even more recommended in that case.

My point is that obviously AWS thinks that on average being in YC is going to result in more revenue for them and therefore they prioritize support for YC companies. As a non-YC company I won't get the same treatment which makes any conclusions from this article less useful.
I have a filter for cooking/making tea. However there's something about S.Pellegrino and others that makes it taste much better. And the filtered water has completely different taste in the first day vs the rest of the month.

And yeah, you usually give the bottles back. However, it's much more common in Germany than in Belgium, it seems. I have never seen a line to give the bottles back in Gent, unlike Berlin.
Ah, that's a good point. Much better coverage of this issue is available from Berkeleyside:

https://www.berkeleyside.com/2021/02/17/berkeley-may-get-rid...

This resolution "could start a process", great. It seems like only a small part of a political battle around whether and how to add more housing in Berkeley. Particularly interesting to me is that CA Senate Bill 828 passed somewhat quietly but is going to force many cities across California to increase housing density.

On Android, at least, to the extent that that's a problem, its a convenience-of-the-form-factor problem (with tablets even this isn't really a big problem, especially with keyboard cases), rather than a lack-of-support problem (iOS, out of the box, is somewhat more locked down, but even there I think there are some options.)

There are quite a lot of on-device programming environments, largely free-of-charge, in the Google Play Store.
I would say it's the latter. A majority of questions that I've found on SO that helped me solve a problem or answer a question have been marked as non-constructive. I don't know why people would do that from a logical perspective, but I can see how having the ability to moderate discussion would make one overzealous with this sort of thing.
I remember finding Microsoft copyright statements in some programs on a Solaris 7 box in 2000 (my memory says /bin/true but some googling reveals it was probably /usr/bin/clear). Some of these programs were implemented as shell scripts and had copyrights from SysV, some of which had come from Xenix.
As far as i understood it it doe snot in the sense that this has been a case specific decision and not about what is being considered fair use in general. Not a lawyer though
PS: Unless you have specific needs, probably skip on vision insurance, and just use Walmart or Costco.

It's "insurance" in the same way paying someone not to burn down your business is "insurance." Simpler and often cheaper to pay out of pocket.

I agree with all of that, but people mostly perceive that they can't live in a large house on a large plot of land. Spread out living with requisite car transportation also creates a stratified society where you don't have to be near those you do not want to be near, which people might also perceive as a benefit.
SPAs as in the UI/UX concept certainly not. SPAs as in “browser-based standalone applications that do cross-site authentication and API calls in the context of a modern identity and SSO architectures” – yes.

Has the latter ever been a definition of "SPA"? One would have thought the acronym "single page application" to have been fairly precise...
I wish they would upload a version with better sound. My speakers are on full blast and my audio is set to 100% and I can barely hear him.
We used trucks with snow plows constantly in Finland too when it snows. The city where I'm from is called Tampere. I thought that the city used to be quite hostile towards bicycles ten years ago but since then they have built so many new biking lanes or removed lanes for the cars and replaced them for pedestrians and cycles. It was just faster to go everywhere with bicycle and with bicyclr6you don't need to spend time to search for a free parking place. If it rained a lot I used rain jacket or used the public transportation. In the winter we used tires with spikes in them (to battle the slippery ice).

Removing some lanes makes the city much more enjoyable for everyone but ofc this is harder to do in really old cities which were designed for horses or big metropolitan areas wherr extra land is scarce.

We moved to Tallinn, Estonia last year and compared to Finland the cycle lanes here are poorly designed and many local politicians still support cars over cycles which is a sad.
It's not just Facebook and WhatsApp, it's pretty much any service we've become accustomed to getting for 'nothing'. As a comparison, I run the domain my family uses for e-mail (not just my spouse/kids, but my brothers and parents and a few extended family members as well), and it's currently hosted on GSuite, grandfathered in from way back when you could get it free. I wanted to switch us away from Google to FastMail, but everyone balked at $5/month for e-mail. Even the ones making well into six figures didn't want to cough up $60/year for something they've been getting for free. So I could pay it out of pocket, or we stay on GSuite, or I kick everyone off that won't pay and deal with hurt feelings.
Unfortunately Apple doesn't allow such plugins on iPhone.

The 97801 was only a - very nice and ergonomic - serial text terminal (some models were VT220 compatible), but it was commonly used with SINIX systems. It seems that Siemens provided a 97801 emulator for Collage (https://www.computerwoche.de/a/siemens-macht-sich-mit-collag...).
Getting rid of notifications (banners and badges) goes a long way. Now I only get them for instant messaging, and I don't respond to messages when I'm with someone else.

I realised that I don't need to check emails as they arrive. Very few things require my attention.

I also removed time sink apps, with the exception of reading apps (I read myself to sleep with them).

I also stopped following everyone on some social media, so the feeds are empty, but I'm logged out anyway.

This has worked reasonably well. I am not a phone addict anymore, because my phone doesn't feed the addiction.
Almost nobody uses leetcode algorithms for real work. Most of work is usually boring CRUD API piping.

> There is noticeable input lag (my guess is around 100ms) that makes mouse and keyboard input feel sluggish.

That's interesting to hear. In some of these videos (and additional Reddit/YouTube comments on them) it seemed like a lot of people would say "yeah but it will have lag" and the person making the video would claim that it doesn't seem to while dragging windows all over the place in their videos. The rotation seems to be a problem across the board though.

These things are difficult to dissect. It could be that there is lag for these other guys, but they aren't the type to notice. Or maybe they didn't get lag because of some detail in their set-up that differed from yours.

Oh well. I don't even have two monitors right now and probably don't really have enough room for a second one. I had hoped to get one this year though.

Maybe I'll get the M1 and just keep working with the one monitor. If I decide it's time for an upgrade maybe I can go the route discussed elsewhere in this thread and get an ultrawide, or a single 40+ inch 4k.

EDIT: Video example of what I'm talking about:

No lag with a displaylink second display on the 2020 M1 MacBook Pro!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1J3lSZfrko

He's not typing anything though. But for this guy it generally _looks_ like it's close to behaving like a normal second monitor.

But then here's this thread complaining that a particular dock, with 4k displays, is super laggy: https://support.displaylink.com/forums/287786-displaylink-fe...

Just a release of their use of GPL code which the would be required to provide if requested anyways. It does not have any impact on Linux support.
Apple stated they will go Custom GPU, depending on how you define Custom, it has plenty of PowerVR tech in it. ( IMG even deleted that Press Release, which you could still find a copy here [1] )

"Apple expects that they will no longer be using Imagination’s IP for new products in 15 to 24 months."

But at no point in time did Apple announced they stop supporting PVRTC. Nor did they make any depreciation notice.

That announcement caused IMG's stock price fall by nearly 80%. IMG was later sold to a Chinese VC. ( Which somehow had some tiny connection linking to Apple, but that is in the conspiracy field so I wont go into it )

And if you look back now, Apple were not telling truth or lying by omission.

Which is what got me to scrutinise every details when they had a battle with Qualcomm. And it was a very different view to what mainstream media tells you.

This is logical, because soon everything will be on electricity, until they invent something new, more environmentally friendly, cheaper, fast-mining and convenient to use. I work in a factory and we produce electric motors for the company https://www.imperiummotorcompany.com/, I just watch how their orders increase and there may be two reasons for this: the first is that they are becoming very popular or the market for electric motors is growing, or both reasons are the same.

While I can see individuals existing in that cycle, why would a whole society synchronize around it? You would think market forces would keep all people out of sync to level out prices.
I guess I'm just unwilling to grant the point that the idea of closed government is dead. If anything, the reaction to this leak may be worse than the disease. But, nonetheless, these were a ton of `secret' cables. They were embarrassing, they make it more difficult to conduct foreign affairs, but they were not actually that destructive or informative. For two key reasons:

1) The cables are the opinions of low-level functionaries, no matter how good they are at their job. These were not TS cables, they did not include a shocking set of information. In fact, it is all sort of "meh, we pretty much knew that.

2) "The fact is, governments deal with the United States because it’s in their interest, not because they like us, not because they trust us, and not because they believe we can keep secrets. Many governments -- some governments deal with us because they fear us, some because they respect us, most because they need us. We are still essentially, as has been said before, the indispensable nation."

The first point is that we pretty much didn't learn anything, and the second is that it won't really matter.
For what it's worth, as a general rule any research done on human subjects - this would count - must not cause (much) harm to any group of subjects.

So, for example, if it became clear during the study that either group of subjects in the study were doing materially worse than the other, there would have to be a review to determine whether the study should be stopped. That would be normal practice in any sort of medical study.

I do not know if NYC's Homeless Services department operates under similar rules or not. It says CUNY is participating and almost certainly CUNY does have an IRB that has signed off on this, with whatever conditions it thought appropriate.

I wonder if such a system really even needs domains anymore. Would it be possible to scrap domains altogether and use IPs only?
