When I start thinking about what we lay public have been denied, in welfare, progress and life, just because scientists don't share the knowledge the lay public pays them to produce, the word hilarious isn't what's coming to mind.
Snow Crash is great. I actually just finished Zodiac yesterday and only realized after the fact that it's 30 years old. I'm starting Seveneves now, and it's already blowing my mind.
Yes, using some linear algebra:
- The inner product (or dot product) of two vectors is related to the angle (a,b) = |a||b|cos(angle).

- The cosine of 60 degrees is 1/2 (and it is increasing from 60 degrees to 0 degrees, where it is 1)

- The square Euclidean norm of the vector a-b is (a-b,a-b) = (a,a) - 2(a,b) + (b,b) = |a|^2 + |b|^2 - 2|a||b|cos(angle)
- Now let's |b| = x|a| for some x<1. Then the above becomes (1+x)|a|^2 - 2(x|a|^2)cos(angle)

- If cos(angle) > 1/2, then the result is less than |a|^2, which means that a-b is shorter than a

In your example, the angle between (10,-5) and (1,10) is approx 110 degrees, which means they are reduced with respect to each other and you cannot make them smaller.

Personally, I regularly charge my phone and listen to music through the 3.5mm jack at the same time when I'm driving (my car doesn't have Bluetooth, so I have to use one of those 3.5mm-to-cassette adapters). Using a phone that doesn't have a 3.5mm jack would mean needing to burn quite a bit more money to somehow wire up my car for Bluetooth if I want to still be able to do these things.

I find calling the potential deployment of nuclear missiles at this point ”world war three” slightly misleading. A war has a beginning and an end. There is no end other than the end of the world as we know it on the other side of such strikes.

I do agree with you, there is already a group of people that solved that problem, and eventstorming is nothing totally new. (nothing ever is tbh, all renditions of other tools). Looking at the history, it comes from Domain-driven design where we try (quoting Mathias) to put lot of emphasis on shared models between business, devs, testers, documentation writers, UX.

The problem I mostly see is that each of this body of knowledge has their modelling tool, one where you need to have some form of workshop or certification (UML, Archimate, BPM etc etc..). What EventStorming tries to do is minimise these handover from proxy domain expert to avoid cognitive bias made from telephone games. So it tries in a simple and quick way to share knowledge in a multidisciplinary group and create a shared mental model, and do this continuous. It tries to show ambiguity in the language (something DDD looks for to create bounded contexts).

About the facilitation, you are totally right. A good facilitator is what makes or breaks it. Besides EventStorming is not a silver bullet, it has its flaws and its blind spots. So then you need your facilitator to grab out their toolbox and see how to battle this
This looks really interesting to me.

One of the things we're going through on our app right now is react-loadable style per-component bundling. The analogy would be to building .so files with GCC. Do you have any plans for ncc to address that use case?
Yes you are right. So I shared my view on Open Source AV.

In the long term, it seems decently likely that the (unlicensed) spectrum will be too crowded for reliable wireless service of any kind. Urbanization and electronic communication are both on the rise; the usable bandwidth that physics has to offer isn't unlimited.

He did that too actually.

> you can easily have a GitHub repo for your NPM package with benign code in the GH repo and completely different, malicious code in the package

This is one of the biggest issues that NPM has, along with not enforcing packages to be signed. If the package was signed this would not be an issue as people would see that the signer changed.
Thank you so much for feedback. Since english is my second language, so this issue occured. From next time I will try my best. Thank you.
Show HN: Publish-it – Node utility to generate lean library package
Good.

Although it has a valid use case, most of the time I interact with annotations is when trying to pause a video and ending up being redirected to some other video or a 3rd party site.
We are using Node.js. From what I’ve seen online, Python should be the fastest though.

Edit: wanted to add, that from what I’ve gathered from people testing online, bundle size didn’t really matter, but perhaps someone else has some information that points to the contrary?
I'm thankful for Clojure; it's brought a lot of joy into programming for me personally.
Exactly, I think there are solutions for more or less everything I listed, or solutions could be found if necessary.

I think the headphone jack is a very practical component of the phone, and miss it regularly, but removing it does remove a few limitations on the designer.

At some point, in perhaps the not too distant future, I wouldn't be surprised if phones had been reduced down to look like not much more than a piece of glass. Maybe even a piece of flexible glass!

That's definitely been the trend for a while now, and things like edge to edge screens and wireless charging move us further in that direction. Thankfully neither of those seem to have necessitated the removal of some other function. There have been other casualties other on this path to simplification, such as the removal of the physical home button, but I don't think any which leave as big a gap as the headphone jack.
[People downvoting this, care to explain what you think is incorrect or invalid about the points it makes?]

You need to explain how Apple removing headphone jacks from their phone hurts these people.

And why do you think it couldn't provide any benefit to any of them, either? (e.g. read the bit about AirPods here https://www.apple.com/lae/accessibility/iphone/hearing/
. Or consider how not having cables might help prevent accidents with the elderly, because there's no cables to get caught on things).

The most laughable thing about your comment is the notion that Apple is somehow forcing phones without headphone jacks upon people. Because of course it is not possible to buy any phones that have headphone jacks.

(do you also realise that it is still possible to use 3.5mm headphones with all Apple phones? So how much harm can be done even if people do want to use such headphones?)
I actually believe hatchbacks are making a comeback. Toyota just introduced the Corolla hatchback in response to the new Civic hatchback. Jaguar has a new XF wagon. Porsche made the Panamera Wagon.

I'd like to believe all these automakers aren't going through the trouble of safety testing and certifying wagons without demand being there. The hatchback version of the Golf/Mazda3/Impreza seem to be selling well enough.

I wonder what their support stance will be when confronted with customer cross-compile scenarios.
> another because it makes it more water-resistant.

This, at least, doesn't hold at all. My last flip-phone [0] was water-resistant and still had a headphone jack - it just had a rubber cover you had to pull up to reveal it. The charging port was also protected by the same cover.

Typical Google, very little respect for long-term user investment in their products. Lots of annotations are annoying but I often see them effectively used to correct inaccuracies in instructional & educational videos. Will be sad to see those go.
Using the MobileSDK (https://developer.dji.com/mobile-sdk/) you can build this straight on a mobile app. With the OnboardSDK (https://developer.dji.com/onboard-sdk/) you can run it on the drone directly.

> I would argue that the condition that you provide sources to your users is something you owe the author. But perhaps I'm over-philosophical.

No, I think you're right.

But you only owe it to the author if you're a "distributor". If you're a "user" (=a human who interacts with an application), you don't owe her anything.

The GPL keeps the distinction between the "users" and the "distributors".

This is important, because they have different interests ; They can't both simultaneously have complete freedom to do what they want.

If the "distributors" have the freedom not to redistribute the source code, then the "users" lose their freedom to study and modify the program (or to have it studied/modified by anyone competent - even software companies sometimes hire consultants to modify free software they don't feel like modifying themselves).

Basically:

- the GPL says to the users "do what you want", and says to the distributors "let the users do what they want (which implies: let them have the source code)".

- The MIT says to everyone "do what you want" (I'm omitting the copyright notice stuff here for brevity)

Thus, the MIT blurs this distinction "user"/"distributor" - which is fine, but creates lots of confusion when people try to understand the rationale behind the copyleft (leading to nonsensical reasonning like "there are things I can't do so GPL is less free!").
The normal behaviour for Bluetooth headphones is that they have a better sound quality while wired. There must be something wrong with your phone/cable/headphones.
maybe an industry standard that works like AirPods pairing?
Good riddance. As a user, I hate annotations. I'm sure there are good uses, but in the use cases I see them, they're just use for spamming or distracting from the video.

Still, I see lots of new videos with annotations. Is it really impossible to create new annotations?

I don't think I've read any of the others, though I may have started Seveneves at some point, but I did read "The rise and fall of D.O.D.O." (just before Snow Crash in fact!) which I highly highly recommend as well.
is this annotations or links? I thought links has been already removed for quite some time. Annotations has been very useful especially for adding factual corrections after the live stream
Magnetic levitation: the return of transport's great 'what if?'
Video Annotations were frequently used to update mistakes made within a video, such as when the producer simply got a date or statistic incorrect, as well as for providing a future citation or update regarding the content of the video.

I think it would be nice to see a middleground feature, to facilitate these cases, whilst not being as easy to abuse as video annotations were.
"The idea that this is simply a cheap cash-grab sounds like a conspiracy theory to me."

Conspiracy theories are sometimes true.

In this case, vendor lock-in is Apple's bread and butter, and it doesn't take any mental gymnastics at all to recognize that removing a standard and universal port without any actually good reason fits that pattern remarkably well.
that is a crime. lots of lectures and tutorial videos have corrrections that fix the errors in the video. good luck with the new 'fake news' now. One wonders why is youtube destroying its own collection like that? They are weaving a string of failures so massive that only anti-monopoly action might save the poor makers now.

Just as an FYI you can buy adapters that increase impedance on your headphones very cheaply on eBay. If you are looking to change sensitivity without changing impedance (which has some effects on sound signature), iFi makes the “Ear Buddy” and “iEMatch” products that are a bit more expensive, but do what they claim on the tin.

What stops it from being courageous isn't that it's stupid, but that "taking a lot of shit" isn't inherently dangerous. Apple's a behemoth with a captive audience, and their past history taught them that they could push I/O changes on their customers with little risk. Little risk = no courage needed.

I happened to pick up Manhattan Project: The Birth of the Atomic Bomb in the Words of Its Creators, Eyewitnesses, and Historians in a thrift store (in Warsaw, of all places) a few months back, and I highly recommend it. The nuance of the situation in 1945 seems to have been entirely lost today in 2018.

Whether justified or not, there were a lot of "reasons" for the use of the bomb that have been forgotten or are not adequately understood today. Just for starters:

- Many of the Manhattan Project scientists were motivated to build the bomb before the Nazis. Indeed, this seems to be one of the single biggest reasons for participation in the project. When it finally came out that the Germans were far behind and posed no real threat, a significant number of scientists quit entirely.

- The Soviets were on the brink of invading Japan and one of the "reasons" for the use of the atomic weapons was as a show of force / deterrent against the Soviets, in anticipation of the upcoming Cold War.

- The timeline was longer than I had known. Little Boy was dropped on August 6. Fat Man was dropped 3 days later, the same day that the Soviets declared war on Japan. The Japanese didn't surrender until August 15, six days later. The book mentioned that many historians think the Japanese were motivated to surrender more by the Soviet threat of invasion than by the atomic bombings.

In any case, it's a fascinating story that I think any technically-minded person would enjoy reading.
Hey you! Keep off, go away. You didn't evolve here!
It's probably more now - that stat was from years ago when they first turned off the ability to add annotations.
Hi everyone!

This is my first little product and I'm super excited to show you what I built over the last 2 weeks. This is basically me scratching my own itch.

The Problem
I’m generally quite bad at remembering things. And personally, just setting an iPhone reminder isn’t effective at all. I tend to kill the reminder and then forget about it again seconds later. Or I tend to factory reset my phone quite often so the reminder goes with that. I really need either an email reminder on the day I need to be reminded and a way to remind other people close to me of the same thing. I can’t rely on myself to remember. I really need teamwork vibes.

The Solution
A simple and easy to use reminder management system that allows you to automate reminder emails to yourself and whoever else you want to be reminded. You simply create a new reminder, write what you want to be reminded about, set a date when you would like to be reminded and it will automatically send on that day. So now, if I set a reminder and include my brother’s email addresses we will not forget Mothers Day next year. Simple example, but this is intended to be used with even more important things that you don’t think about everyday, like being reminded before your passport expires, car license, bills that needs to be paid in time, etc.

The Future
Telegram, WhatsApp and SMS reminders are coming soon.

Cheers and I'm happy to answer any questions!
Right, of course; thanks for noting.
There are a number of ice cream places that do this in SF (Bi-Rite comes first to mind). Basically they encourage everyone to slowly make up their mind while sampling every flavor, so the wait takes at least 20 minutes.

> pushing new standards in computer peripherals

agree about deprecation, but what are the standards that they pushed on to the rest of the industry? i m not knowledgeable on the matter
Thanks. I guess what you've shown is that if two vectors a and b are at an angle such that cos(angle) > 1/2, then (a-b) is shorter than a. Don't we also need to say something about the angle between (a-b) and b? It's late at night and I can't figure out what that is. :-) I imagine we'd have to say that it's no further from 60° than the angle between a and b was (but actually that's not true, so I guess the claim is something else?)

Perhaps it would be easiest to understand with the example: we want to say that, though (11, 5) and (1, 10) make an angle very close to 60° (specifically, about 59.845°), there must exist a pair of vectors that make an angle even closer to 60°, and with smaller coordinates. What is this pair of vectors, and how do we arrive at it? (If one of them is their difference namely (10, -5), what is the other one?)

Also, I think the top-level comment here (by joefkelley) considered only vectors with positive coordinates (maybe?), so we may need to take that into account and/or explain why the coordinates are always positive.
For what it's worth, I use the USB-to-3.5mm dongle with my Pixel 2, and my earbuds with mic work great.
> they've alienated so many people to find their own path when they don't include the adapter.

My iPhone came with an adapter, though. I continue using the same headphones as I did with my old phone.
