On the way to Aspen from Denver, it's a perfectly valid route to take during warm months and isn't particularly more dangerous than any other route to Aspen for a tractor trailer. Often, when there's a bad crash on I-70, that's really the only way to traverse the Colorado.

Notes on Reviving Marvin
That's likely (although not immediate). This year's Itanium 9700 is the last of the Itanium line and according to the roadmap here:

They plan to containerize HP/UX and run on x64 Linux, that sounds to me like it's just a plan for a run out to EOL.

I don't see this as concern trolling when these sort of negative issues are widely cited in surveys on un-churched Americans. If I were a pastor wanting to reach out to future generations, I'd see this sort of thing as a problem.

Example from Barna, an evangelical survey and research group: https://www.barna.com/research/five-trends-among-the-unchurc...

"Unchurched Americans" have been a growing trend for quite some time. Nearly half of millenials are "post-Christian" in this survey from a few years back.

In this study, half of the post-Christians could not identify a single favorable impact of the Christian community.

The top things people complained about regarding American churches were violence in the name of Christ, the position on gay marriage, sexual abuse scandals, and involvement in politics.

Perhaps more tellingly, in another survey (http://www.christianpost.com/news/how-do-unchurched-american...), a full 72 percent of the people interviewed said they think the church is full of hypocrites.

Note that "unchurched" does not mean "not Christian", but I think there is plenty of evidence though that says a large portion of Americans believe, at minimum, that the institution of American Christianity is fundamentally broken.

I don't think the clickbait-ization of news is the entire story here either. "Nones" have been growing rapidly since the 1990s.
the problem cited in the article is performance. a "help" dialog shouldn't take several seconds to open, it shouldn't take foreground control, and you shouldn't have to wait for it to finish opening in order to close it. and you definitely shouldn't have to move your hand to the mouse to close something that was opened by an accidental keystroke.

if the view doesn't get obstructed and you could simply tap F1 a second time (or Esc) and instantly be back to what you were doing, i think the UX problem would be solved.

in firefox, i sometimes hit F12 on accident -- but i can just tap it again to close the dev tools, even if it hasn't finished loading. that's decent UX.
Your experience is accurate and makes the point.

Android releases are not generally available at a consistent time. Apple marches software release in lock-step with hardware release.

When you write an article citing a "study" based on a spike of Google searches, the Android based metrics will be more spread out because implementation of the new software is more spread out. A "study" should control for that sort of variance.
> A well run company will always have more work for each employee than is possible for them to complete.

In a high-level view, sure. But if the employee is given more to do than they could possibly do, it can be very damaging to morale. At review time of things one was expected to work on, there are things you accomplished, and things you failed to accomplish.

In particular, if one responds to "I accomplished task1 and task2" with "Okay. What about task3, task4, ...?", that employee is being trained to believe they cannot succeed in this position. At that point, they are left with finding the fault either with this management style, or in themselves (...leading to imposter syndrome? I dunno, but maybe that's part of why that's so common in our sector).
Agreed. HP/UX was terrible.
I think he's specifically referring to the Nexus devices.
> Never mind that ESD and like is a leftover from the OSS days.

I never had many problems with OSS either. :) I'm bringing up esd because I was misrembering that when pulseaudio came on the scene, it seemed to be already existing, not screwing up too badly, and addressing the commonly held up use case of software mixing.

After reading notalaser's fine summary [1], I'm realizing I've lumped 'ALSA broke everything that I already had working (but did eventually work, and support newer hardware)' and 'PulseAudio broke everything that I already had working' together in time in my mind, when really things were many years apart. It seems that by the time PulseAudio came out / was widely pushed, ALSA had already subsumed esd (unless you were using the network audio features), so the most often reported 'great thing' doesn't sound like something people wouldn't have had.

Serious question: why would you not laugh and say "Yeah, no"?
A functionally pure compiler would always provide the same output for the given source code. The challenges in creating repeatable builds of highly popular open source projects shows that the average compiler is anything but functionally pure. The global state of the system running the compiler has a huge impact on the output of the compiler.
The cool part about this is that we are kind of going back a fantasy system with different coins like copper, silver, gold, and platinum.
I don't know quite enough about the technical details to be sure, but RTK can defintiely go over IP networks with NTRIP and other protocols. The biggest limitation with RTK is that the corrections are limited to 10-15 miles of the base/reference station (more is possible, generally with less accuracy), since ionospheric conditions vary enough to make the corrections highly location dependant.

The antenna systems on RTK rovers (the devices receiving corrections, which also receive the GPS satellite signals) aren't huge, but I'm not sure if they could be reduced in size enough to fit in a smartphone.

Ignorance of the masses; Very few people realize when they get an HD Voice call that it's because they're on the same network.

It's frankly surprising that people make regular calls anymore because of the inter-network lack of HD voice; you'd think everybody would make hangouts or FaceTime calls.

Of course, the other likelihood from ignorance is that few people have good hearing.
> for the average picture taker none of it is a big deal

I think this is a pretty cynical view. OK, maybe the majority don't give a damn, but quite a few people obviously do. Someone's buying iPhones, and S8s, etc. It's pretty dark to assume that all of them are just brainwashed by marketing. Certainly I would say 50%+ of the smartphone owners I personally know were at least influenced by the camera quality.

> what they have is already quite good, certainly good enough

Well, the reason what they have might be "good enough" is because of this relentless "drag to quality" that Apple et al are orchestrating.

> for the real photographers the equipment is secondary

And yet all the "real photographers" have tens of thousands of dollars worth of gear. Funny, that. Look, there's a truth to it - no gear on earth will help you if you don't have an eye for framing, light, etc. But gear does matter and it's ridiculous to pretend otherwise. Direct me to your nearest pro/awarded/exhibited tog who wields a $100 point and shoot and I'll eat my words.

Holistic is a strange word anyway because it's a Latin suffix tacked onto a Germanic base. At least to my ears, it sounds wrong for that reason.

I'm in the US where these credit reporting companies are and "identity theft" is a big fear. Is there a similar problem in Europe? For example do you see ads on TV and the internet for insurance against "identity theft"? Things do drop off your credit report in the US, even bankruptcy after 7 or 10 years, so people do have a general idea that some past mistakes should not haunt you forever. But never get a felony in the US. You will truly discriminated against for life.

This makes it seem like courses of antibiotics are always 7 or 14 days, but they're not. I just filled a prescription for a 5-day course. It may have been more uniform at 7/14 in the past, but it isn't now.
You say that now but it wasn't always the narrative from the bitcoin community. It feels more like after-the-fact rationalization than a true objective. It just so happens that bitcoin's original architecture didn't scale and now people are trying to figure it out.

And that's perfectly fine but I feel like we're seeing the same thing now with segwit and the lightning network. It's all unicorns and rainbows until you realize that in practice it doesn't work as perfectly as you'd have hopped.

What annoys me is that all these issues could always be anticipated even using some rough "back of the envelope" calculations. But there's no place for constructive criticism of bitcoin in the community so the problems are only faced when you really can't ignore them anymore, and then everybody says "well duh, it's obvious that wouldn't work" like you just did.

I fully expect that we will see the same thing for segwit and the lightning network when it'll turn out that the pipe dream of "everybody opens channels left and right" will fail to materialize and some alternative, probably more centralized architecture will take its place. It's not necessarily a bad thing but I wish there was a place where this could be discussed without being immediately called a shill and a traitor to the cause.
I've wondered if the reasons why Apple changes their UX so much, in small and big ways, is so they the new phone becomes "your" phone. You're forced to learn new swipes, taps, etc. Overtime the muscle memory makes other (and older) phones feel awkward. Often it doesn't seem like Apple needs to do this, but it could explain why.
In my experience TfL are a pretty crappy organisation themselves. Cab drivers commonly take longer routes in order to inflate their fares. Try complaining about this and see how far you get. Worse, try seeing what happens if you are injured through negligence of a bus driver (as happened to my girlfriend). They will fight you even in spite of incriminating CCTV until they are dragged into court, and only offer to settle at the last possible chance. TfL are scum.
> For your second point, JavaScript is also sandboxed.

There are all kinds of abstractions interact with the language outside the sandbox though: DOM, XMLHttpRequest, WebSocket, Cookies, location object, localStorage, IndexedDB, and on and on....

To my knowledge WASM does not have such a variety of APIs to expose access. The reason for this difference is that the security emphasis for WASM is instruction integrity while with JavaScript the emphasis is integrity of IO.

WASM runs closer to the metal and so if any of the security CIA (confidentiality, integrity, availability) are broken everything that relies upon it, executes from it, or works with it could be exposed through memory. In this case it is the execution state that is important. JavaScript is not a bytecode format and so it can execute in a VM without the VM ever being exposed. All that matters for JavaScript is that it receives standard input and returns standard output.
Supposedly something like chordify does this relatively well...
What you are describing is not new -- I was at an HP partner for about 5 years and it was always like that. One way around it was to buy into their premium support plan, where you got a named support contact. There were very few competent support people, but the ones at that level were solid. Secondly, yes -- the moment you put in a ticket, you also make a phone call and you ask for your ticket to be escalated. It also helps to call your sales rep and let them know you need support. Often that was the key, as they would put a lot of pressure on from the inside. I don't know the current MicroFocus world as well, but it was also possible to buy support contracts from partners like my firm, where those official support partners would also work to back-channel things for you.

If your issues are with the BSM / APM stack, shoot me an email I'll be glad to help. Also happy to refer you to MicroFocus partners that I trust and would use myself.

For a similar solution to the one in the article here for your problem: Some "gamer keyboards" have an extra bump on W (similar to but often distinct from the home row bumps for J and F) for the importance of WASD to games. You could invest in one of those or emulate it with a bit of tape or something.

The other huge usability problem is the risk of getting hacked. Everybody, even programmers, didn't write 99+% of the code on the machines they are using. Even if you manage to go years and years without issue, that 1 time you get hacked and your coins get transferred out from under you will make you lose everything and there is no way to get it back. For normies, this is an even bigger issue.

> It is actually amazing how little British folks today know about their own historical misdeeds, they may accept the issues towards USA and other countries but tend to downplay atrocities magnitudes higher in India and other countries

To add to this, it's not just the British. The Portuguese, French, Dutch, Danish, and Swedish (among others) colonized parts of India long before the British did, and the Portuguese and French also kept their colonies in India much longer. When people talk about India's independence in 1947, that's just referring to the independence of British India. The French stayed until 1962, and the Portuguese held their colonies until 1975.

Amusingly, most Portuguese and French people I've talked to under the age of forty[0] or so are genuinely shocked to learn this.

On the other hand, most British people are apparently proud of their colonial plundering[1], so I guess everyone has a long way to go still.

(P.S. If you're thinking of responding to this with a comment about how the British "improved" India by industrializing it, or all the "benefits" India got from being plundered for 450 years, please save us all the trouble and don't. These are typical revisionist talking points that are easily debunked as ahistorical with some basic research, and they're put forth to distract from the sheer volume of wealth that was stolen, the amount of infrastructure that was destroyed by colonial regimes, the genocides and other war crimes that were committed by the colonizing countries, and so on. For most of recorded history, India (Bengal in particular) was the world's largest economy - over 25% of the world's GDP[2] - and every discussion that attempts to rationalize that loss after colonization without recognizing the value that was destroyed, stolen, or outright murdered ultimately into revisionist white supremacist history, which is not what HN is for.)

I know I'll get eventually downvoted for this, because talking about the brutality and legacy of European colonialism is always unpopular on HN for obvious reasons, but it's important enough that it needs to be said.

You should be able to write a very basic WebAssembly compiler in much less than half a megabyte. The WebAssembly format itself can be assumed to already be pre-optimized, and is expressed in terms of i32/i64/f32/f64 with an infinite register set and stack machine, with a very well structured control flow. You really don't need a smart compiler to lower this to semi-efficient code. The runtime in a non-JavaScript embedder then has to expose a series of syscalls, but that's not very big either.
Don't discount the experience based on the company name. HPE is still a big broad place that spans from HPUX to web apps to SaaS to consulting.

One thing that should be quite easy to see is that the Pixel is losing a lot of detail in skin tones, both through overexposure and poor choice of color balance. Some of the Pixel images also have a lot of contrast applied (a matter of taste, up to a point, but it is often used to hide poor noise performance in low light portions of the image by rendering them black, and reduces editing options with the image after capture).
But of course it’s not without reason that the Pixel got glowing reviews for its camera system when it came out, and it still puts in a decent showing.
