How does it compare to the original re battery life?
Hopefully. A friend of mine once said "So do you have ten years of experience, or do you have one year of experience ten times?"
I completely agree.

As another comment pointed out, the price comparison is poor. What changed is the value of the phone and what people are willing to spend. When phones got good enough many were willing to replace a traditional computer with the phone.

Don't forget that social networks were a thing back at the release of the first iPhone. I suspect far fewer people would be see as much value in a smart phone if they couldn't access Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or Reddit on it.
Nice post. Still, I find the most accessible article describing datalog is "What you Always Wanted to Know About Datalog (And Never Dared to Ask)." by Ceri, Gottlob, Tanca (1989)
This is easier than deduplicating the many different URLs which have the same content. A harder problem awaits you!

ML & basic stats
Other posters have noted that this isn't new at all. One could almost say that what's been predicted by futurologists over time is what Sci-Fi can see.

To me, what's interesting is the ways the lens of Sci-Fi can distort one's ideas. The flying car is the most classic, wrong science fiction prediction ever (even if it should come to pass). The way that the flying car fails is that ground motion doesn't translate directly into flying motion - flying transport has achieved some equivalence to ground motion but going from a "flying bus" (a conventional airplane) to a personal "flying car" turns out to be a vastly harder problem than going from a train to a car.

One might say, Sci-Fi involves extrapolation of experience, since the writer ultimately has describe the experiences of their characters. So what's missing overall, is "the dull parts", as least for "classic Sci-Fi", which has historically been adventure novels extrapolated into a new world (the novels of Robert Heinlein being the model).

Here, in a sense, dystopian and other novelist genres can give further insight a leg-up because they aren't constrained to make the future fun.

A really interesting story is EM Forrester's story "The Machine Stops", predicted many aspects of the Internet in 1909!

It is standard practice by the rust core team to implement as little as possible in the core/stdlib and “bless” 3rd party packages that add otherwise necessary functionality. This allows the language to evolve more quickly.

Cargo, the package management system is very good, and the resulting binary is compiled (therefore you aren’t thrusting 3rd party dependencies on your end users), so there is far less incentive to avoid 3rd party libraries than there might be in Python for example.

Can you parse CLI arguments manually using rust? Of course, but should you?
Where have you seen a sign like that? Like what country, and what part of that country? If it's in America, I wouldn't interpret those sorts of signs as evidence of a religious attachment to science, but rather a reaction against the tsunami of anti-science sentiment that has taken over the Republican base and the people they vote into office. The Republican Party has spent the last 10/30/50 years (depending on which historical inflection points people focus on) courting Evangelicals (who themselves are a religious demographic almost entirely unique to the US) and feeding into all of their fears/hatreds/insecurities in order to get their votes and their money. If you've seen signs like that on American lawns, there's like a 99% chance that that phrasing is an intentional low-key troll vs. Evangelicals and their choice of words when they pick and choose what to believe in from both science and their own religion, and how they choose to defend those beliefs.

People not "believing" in science is a huge freaking problem, and is just one of many symptoms of the hellbound handbasket America finds itself in right now. Science by definition is not something you choose to have faith in or not. The only way to disagree with science is more science that disproves the previously accepted science, it's not a choice of faith or belief. The way you can tell that science doesn't function as a faith-based enterprise is the fact that one of the greatest accomplishments a scientist could have is disproving long-held scientific assumptions, which itself can only happen with reproducible results.

For example, a Pew Research poll from several years ago showed that fully 2/3 of self-identified Republican voters were Young Earth Evangelicals, meaning they believe that the planet is ~6000 years old and any evidence to the contrary is either wrong, or a literal test of faith by an apparently insecure deity who will only be satisfied by the basest, most unthinking fealty imaginable. That's obviously going to have an impact over the long term.

What does this lead to? People like Lamar Smith being made the chair of the House Science Committee. Someone who literally doesn't "believe" in science, who has used his authority for the last 6 years to literally squash scientific research that didn't lead to the predetermined conclusions that his faith (and more likely, his donors and voters) assures him are true.

TL;DR I am not at all remotely concerned about people putting signs on their lawns stating that their household believes in science. It's a couple decades too late but whatever. It's a sad world we live in where that's something that anyone feels like they need to publicly state support for.
Kinetic energy is 1/2mv^2
It's not at all clear that the books contain "geometry" per se in the painting. I can't find a source either way but if you've ever seen alchemical or astrological figures they could be mistaken for math.

The people were destroying their own books after hearing a new way of looking at the world. How different is this from some kid throwing away his Joel Osteen book after taking a philosophy class? But I agree that this was impulsive and they should have given them away instead of destroying them.

phd514 makes a valid point: this article needlessly provokes conflict between science and religion, even saying with concern that "St Paul is making a comeback", the horror, as if encouraging people to burn books and "reject science" is his main work in history.
They don't mention simplex B, which makes me wonder if it cancels you out.
Oh sure, but it means having to have a .vimrc for consistency.

My own desktop's vimrc has a few useful shortcuts (F5 for example to "compile" a graphviz file to dot -T x11 -- my VB3 roots showing), but the majority of vim use across the estate has never needed it before.

Fortunately I do have a facility to distribute .vimrc to undo these disastrous changes, but changing the default behaviour was rather annoying for an editor that is so ubiquitous.
I think people put signs up like that because there's a culture of anti-fact, anti-science, generally anti-thought growing and becoming more vocal and a sign or bumper sticker might make people feel like they're fighting back. I admire science, I'm aware that part of science is challenging itself and new understanding can unravel previous notion.

I don't really know of any science enthusiasts that want to burn the religious or their texts (well, I did as a teenager, but they grew out of it), but I know more than a few religious who want science out of their schools, deeply believe religion should be more involved in our government, and let's not forget the anti-vaccination movement. These people are neighbors and co-workers, and while they themselves are generally not horrible people those sorts of ambitions feel dangerous at best.

Anyway, my point is - I would rather have a problem with overenthusiastic science fans that could use some perspective, than a problem of people not vaccinating their children and "rolling coal"
There are a lot of articles here on HN explaining problems other people ran into, solutions and best practices. Just keep reading. I read for 30 min every day on new tech and ideas even if I don't use them regularly. Keeps me in the loop and a lot of the ideas and principles are portable to other projects.
Sorry but this type of issue often occur because developers has your mindset. I've had so many auditors and security reviewers ask me "how do you hash your password?" but no one has asked me if I log http request, session tokens, outbound emails or any other thing where sensitive data can be transmitted. Nor have they asked me what the actual process for rotating credentials when employees leave, more than "Do you do it?"
If I'm gathering your perspective correctly from this thread you're saying that you expect a place that charges $350 minimum per seat and is in competition with the finest culinary establishments in the world with the highest tier of service will take shortcuts with your meal, and when you notice and complain, their likely response is "too bad, sucker, we already have your money". Is that right?
I assume the writing quality would be the same. But it's not necessarily going to be output in the same type of format.

For example, game designers are known to have been hired by government agencies and corporations to create games that will help them understand side effects of policy proposals (especially complicated ones). But you probably wouldn't just box it up and sell it afterword.

In the sci-fi case, they need to try to predict something like "If we invented an AI powered shoe, how would people react?" etc. If the writer is any good, they'll ask for info about the brand's values etc, and the brand would supply user surveys to help the writer predict better.
> sound was crummy

Maybe. But to my ears, the sounds quality from the old POTS phones was orders of magnitude better than what we get with cellphones even today.
Nature has had book previews and book reviews for as long as I've been subscribed.

Regarding the article being poorly researched, maybe you have a particular part that you felt was wrong? I'd hope that the author wouldn't need to research his new book before writing about it.

I have no idea how an author would submit a book preview for peer review.
What are y'all using for self-hosted analytics? I have used Google Analytics and Mixpanel out of sheer convenience, but I know many users are uncomfortable sharing their data with those sites.

To relate this to the article: what should these government agencies be using? Or should they not be looking for Javascript errors, A/B testing, etc. at all?
Note also though that Wikipedia claims that genital herpes infection rate increased dramatically during the 1970s. If true, it's not surprising that it would be relatively unknown before the increase and stigmatized after. HIV wasn't stigmatized in the 70s either.
I know its petty, but any reason to pour the hate onto Elsevier makes me a happy. I do my utmost to never have to rely on publications only available through them as a resource and it has definitely shaped the focus of my research (if there is any barrier to getting a publication, I'm far less likely to use it or rely on it).
You don't know that with any app, though ... right? The only thing TLS gives you is knowledge of what can happen between you and whatever terminates TLS. It tells you nothing about what happens after that

Someone I used to know was a ketamine user for a while -- when she wasn't busy with cocaine. (The impact was pretty drastic, so I'm guessing she was using rather more than might be recommended...) What I came to say, though, was that I'm quite sure she wasn't paying anything like that much for it.
As someone who took Latin, I don't disagree. Yes, English has roots in Latin. It also has roots in Anglo-Saxon and French. I'm not convinced that Latin has a unique pedagogical value for English speakers. It feels more like, outside of classical studies programs, a vestige of what a curriculum for properly-educated upper classes looked like a hundred years ago.

There's nothing wrong with many aspects of such a curriculum but it probably belongs as part of a classics major at a liberal arts college rather than a language option at a typical high school.

> you're clear now that Tock is not actually premised on the idea that you have to pre-pay for all the restaurants you go to.

Yes, but I didn't actually know that before. Every encounter I have had with Tock has been pay-ahead, and so I assumed that was their business model.

BTW, w.r.t. passing moral judgement, I'm surprised that you didn't pick the more low-lying fruit:

> Not even FaceBook is 100% evil.

That was a moral judgement, but about Facebook, not directly about Tock. I don't like Tock because they (AFAICT) enable and encourage the pay-ahead model, which I don't like. But I wouldn't call them evil.

> I don't understand not going to Roister or Petit Crenn Brunch, both of which are a la carte and neither pre-paid, simply because they're on Tock.

I had never heard of either of these places before you mentioned them, but no, I would not boycott them simply because they're on Tock.
> Accident investigation is a slow process, and slow processes are frustrating. Information comes in a trickle. It's natural to want to piece together whatever details we have, wherever we can find them. In our hunger to find out what happened, how these 346 people lost their lives, let's not lose sight of the fact that the information we have right now is incomplete.

Slow, and possibly corrupted process. If we believe the FAA has been captured by industry, do we trust the outcome of their investigation to be impartial? Do we trust their investigation to be at all competent?

I think it's incredibly important we all remain skeptical of the FAA and Boeing in this; the FAA's reluctance to ground the MAX 8 until it was ordered by the president shows their bias. Any sensible human with a safety-first mindset would have immediately grounded the aircraft after the second crash until a complete investigation was done.
A Look at Matrix.org’s OLM – Megolm Encryption Protocol
Why is this downvoted? It’s a fact. The FAA doesn’t regulate the training, maintenance or competency of Indonesia or Kenya. Under FAA regulations, the copilot on the Kenya crash would have never been allowed to fly: he had just 200 total hours. So somehow that’s the FAA’s fault?
But research, development, and marketing cost.

I was considering this to aid my depression/bipolar but the prices just don't make it worth it if it only provides up to months of benefit. I could see doing it at around $800-1200 total for the 6 shots, not per shot.
Don’t read your data from a straw
Finding the shortest path from A to B is very much a solved problem, e.g. Dijkstra's algorithm can do it in quadratic time on arbitrary graphs.

The article tries hard to pretend that the analog method presented could solve traveling salesman problems, but the actual paper only talks about ordinary shortest path problems. I don't see how it could be extended to TSP either, since it's hard to make electrons actually visit all destinations you want to cover when there's a shorter route available.
That'd be great. More money to fund public services.

A lot of it is about learning how to learn. Developing skill and mastery is a similar problem in almost any field, and you can learn a lot by reading from masters in other fields. I'm currently reading Handmade: Creative Focus in the Age of Distraction, by Gary Rogowski, who makes furniture. The first half of the book, at least (that's how far I am) is all about the wide variety of difficult lessons he's learned on the way to mastery of his craft. There are many other books like this, and they tend to be very instructive.
I know what it stands for and now I feel old.
Unless you call wgile tgey are slammed during lunch and dinner rush, this is absolutely not true.
> There's no cure. Like colds.

Colds resolve in a few days to a week. There is absolutely a cure, just not one in pill form.
I would suggest perhaps a language/framework that compiles to a single binary. I'm assuming that the back-end doesn't need to do any heavy lifting. You could use Go, Crystal/Kemal, Nim/Jester or other combination.

Do you actually need the same deployed code to run on each platform (Net/Java) or is it sufficient to have common source that produces a binary for each?
> Have systems gotten so messy and complicated that we build them without knowing they're actually doing, until after they're built?

Oh, hey, you've just practically described one popular implicit formulation of Agile. :)

Detailed and coherent design documentation is rare in my experience, even at organizations that are staffed at a level including dedicated staff ostensibly for this purpose. I can think of precisely one place I've worked for that had a design process that produced documentation effective for specifying the project ahead of time and as a reference from then on out. A culture committed to this plus dedicated technical writers who regularly met with a team of a domain expert, tech lead, and UX/UI folks for the purpose of producing project documentation helped a lot.

Other organizations may have had individuals producing documentation but it was a lossy process, magnified when they moved on from the project.

It's from the book Ideas And Opinions:
https://www.amazon.com/Ideas-Opinions-Albert-Einstein-ebook/...

Some other quotes:

"The highest principles for our aspirations and judgments are given to us in the Jewish-Christian religious tradition."

"Though religion may be that which determines the goal, it has, nevertheless, learned from science, in the broadest sense, what means will contribute to the attainment of the goals it has set up. But science can only be created by those who are thoroughly imbued with the aspiration toward truth and understanding. This source of feeling, however, springs from the sphere of religion."

"His religious feeling takes the form of a rapturous amazement at the harmony of natural law, which reveals an intelligence of such superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection. This feeling is the guiding principle of his life and work, in so far as he succeeds in keeping himself from the shackles of selfish desire. It is beyond question closely akin to that which has possessed the religious geniuses of all ages."
Ketamine infusions for depression are pretty expensive, but not $7000/mo. They seem to run about $400-600 per treatment.
I'd like to give a contrasting answer, which is that you should go somewhere where you can be mentored and learn. If you're concerned about your ability to continue learning best practices and level up as an engineer, you should keep in mind that there are many engineering organizations where you'll be able to work directly with engineers much more senior than you who you'll learn a lot from -- in my prior experience, it was this kind of collaboration that I learned the most from. It's true that I learned a lot when I was younger from self-teaching and experience, but there was a certain amount that I'm not sure I could have (or should ever have) picked up on the job in production, because it would have been infinitely more painful and less productive than collaborating with someone who could help guide me in the right direction, as well as whom I could look up to as a mentor and a guide.

If you want that (which is reasonable because it's an excellent almost invaluable resource for your career), you have to first find an organization that provides that. Where you're at may or may not be that place.
Not ever seeing these emails, it depends on where you stand. I can see how it would benefit the organization to have people know what is being shipped in other areas of the org, and also provide valuable feedback loops from differing perspectives.

However if all the threads are just “great job on X!” I can see how that could be low-value self promotion.

Allegedly put landers on the moon.
It's not an accusation leveled at CF--it's a consideration of possible effective strategy in general.
I really wish CF would phase out flexible SSL or at least disable it by default. (And warn users of the risks when enabling it.) Same goes for any CDN offering HTTPS to HTTP proxying over the public Internet.

It made a bit more sense in 2014 when there were more barriers to getting a real cert for your personal blog / forum / whatever - the cost of the cert itself, hosting companies charging for a dedicated IP (because they hadn't gotten the memo on SNI), or the maintenance burden of manually renewing if you ran your own VM.

But Let's Encrypt makes it trivial to auto-provision a real certificate, and many (if not most) hosts support setting it up through their control panels. The HTTP-01 challenge (which is now the default) works fine behind Cloudflare.

If you don't want to (or can't) use Let's Encrypt, Cloudflare themselves offer certificates from a private CA that you can install on your origin. These certs are trusted by their proxies and can last a lot longer than publicly-trusted certs (10+ years I believe), so it's a good option if you're stuck with a server setup that makes you manually upload cert files.

There's just no good reason to proxy HTTPS traffic over HTTP anymore (if there ever was). Enabling it by default is encouraging awful security practices.

>I don't take it to mean that you are supposed to be the Atlas of the organization, but rather that when you see problems and issues that might arise, you don't ignore them because it's "not my job" or "not my problem" - you embrace it, escalate or forward it to the correct people, and then go back to what else you have to do.

Trying to really educate around this at my workplace.

I call it "throwing your hands up." If you run into a problem, or notice that something isn't working, what-have-you, if you throw your hands up instead of working to fix it, or find the person who should fix it, you are on my shit list.

It's hard to explain this part of ownership. But it's very obvious when you see someone doing it. Their first response is often to say something like "not my job," and they often think that Extreme Ownership or Question Behind the Question mentality covers it, but after it all shakes out in the wash, it's actually the opposite.

Maybe people need to do a better job of explaining ownership up front, or choose different words. IDK
Fair enough. Though, unfortunately, high school curriculums have to be more or less designed on the premise that individual study won't happen in many cases.

If you assume independent study, there's probably very little that has to be taught in high school and we'd probably do things very differently.
