Nobody who isn't an engineer wants is terribly interested in the argument that a model of plane that has killed 2 planes full of people recently is in anyone's opinion safe.

Personally I won't fly on one in my lifetime.

I'll leave the analysis of why to others to figure out why I fly on other airplanes.

Incidentally I have seen pilots argue that the max is inherently unsafe on this forum which is probably why people are reiterating it.

What is your area of expertise and what is your opinion?
Well, yes, "Linux Questions" makes polls about Linux desktops. I was talking about any kind of desktop UX, hence "big fat".
I used to work in this field several years ago. It’s gotten way better over time but there’s room for continuing improvement.

Personally I think it’s a bit of everything:

There’s almost no standardization in signaling protocols. Things like FaceTime and WhatsApp don’t interoperate.

NAT hole punching remains a complex problem. It’s not easy to solve.

Bandwidth is often not stable for long periods of time. Bandwidth drops, latency spikes, packets get lost or retransmitted. WiFi connections are sketchy. Wired connections are better but still packet switched. Cellular wireless systems are overloaded and suffer from multipath fading.

Encoders are insanely complicated to build. Hardware acceleration isn’t easy to implement either. Configuring an encoders parameters for a connection environment is hard and remains a craft and not a science.

The human eye seems to be much more sensitive to artifacts than the human ear. Cameras are hard to tune and expensive. Auto focus white balance etc effect call quality quite badly. Camera placement is still a challenge. Minor changes to lighting and colors can make huge shifts in quality.

This is why video from dedicated conference rooms is way better than video calls from phones or laptops. The state of the art under controlled conditions is really unbelievably amazing.
Most modern ecosystems have fantastic URL parsing that does not rely on regex and should not be written again by hand.
At 3 for a $1, that’s one expensive ball pit.
not a designer, but as a leftie scissors are the worst, still can barely use them. Door handles and pens are ok. It's a right handed world and that's not going to change.
Frustrating, rather than difficult.

1) Crashed on some of my files (don't know why, other readers open them correctly) during the import.

2) Can't really open pdf. In takes seconds to open epub, but a medium sized pdf (say 450 pages) takes up to two minutes easily.

3) After doesn't keep formatting in pdf files (tables\code blocks\etc). Making in useless.

4) By default Calibre will try to open pdf in Preview which, but this way you have to manually keep the count (how many pages you have read).

5) The reader itself is ugly. You can castomize it I assume, but I don't really want to bother.

6) Lot's of unneeded things (just an opinion) like news downloader.

7) Some smaller but still annoying probles I can't really remember.

All in all in makes it even harder to keep track of your books than a good folder structre, it's quite slow and buggy, it does LOTS of thing, but none of them is done great.
The real solution is both very simple and incredibly complex at the same time: producers should be obligated (and incentivized) to take care of the waste from their products. Every other solution simply won't work.

How to do that? No idea. :)
I might be missing the obvious, but I don't see in your quote the answer to the question:

> Where in that RFC does it discuss _why the fuck_ I would want to put an API link in the headers instead of the body?
They definitely are now. If you want to see what they look like, the channel AvE on YouTube tears one down (Search for BOLTR AoA) and discusses the mechanics. You can see what they suspect to be small cables for heating go up into the element.
The fault here is complex and involves the architecture of the system, the sensors, and how the behavior mimicked the older designed which reduced the training required which meant pilots were not as aware of both the changed flight characteristics and the MCAS itself.

Sure the FAA definitely needs to be questioned as to how they let this through without enough redundancy and pilot awareness but the engines are not the problem and certainly not the supports and bolts. Those are things that are well-tested before it even gets to the FAA and having extreme paranoia about the industry doesn't help.
This exists in several forms ranging from TelePrompTer style settings to cameras embedded in the screen. They’re currently expensive but I’d expect to see them hitting the market in the next 5-10 years.

There are also software/post-processing implementations of this out there which try to emulate eye contact. The ones I saw 4-5 years ago were definitely uncanny valley but there may be more happening there of late.

This gets even more interesting in multi party situations where there may be 3+ locations with more than one person at each location

One of the largest sources of noise pollution in residential areas are cars. Cars also happen to be a large source of carbon emissions and air pollution. Tackle that and get a win-win-win I'd say.
Here in the UK, there seems to be a tendency towards the use of light/sirens at any opportunity.

I live near to a busy road junction and have often witnessed situations where the sirens make matters worse because some drivers panic to get out of the way when, really, the best thing they should do is just keep moving forwards.
If you save the relative URL in your database and then the API changes its URL schema, you will need to migrate everything you stored to the new schema.

If all you stored was the ID, all you would need to change is the logic in your API client which accepts the ID and constructs the URL for it.
Wherein an extended period of time is effectively forever.
I'd expand that negativity not only to the media writers but societal culture in general. We live in a culture of snark where anything done is torn down and picked apart. These critics have never built anything, accomplished anything themselves. I suppose though, this is better than the alternative of people slurping and ingratiating themselves to everything.
Sometimes I wish REStful/REST the whole idea was a lot more opinionated. Sure you can have opinionated frameworks but nothing is stopping you from using a patch like I would a delete... (not the best example but you get the gist).
Did the government fund it or where's the problem?
Actual engineers do care about the "why" since that's what matters. Otherwise don't bother flying on any aircraft since all models have crashed at some point.
I imagined that it would just ask to enter a pre-defined phrase along with the password.
This isn’t at all what people by money not buying happiness. Even if your life objectively improves, it’s just a matter of time until your brain adjusts to the new normal and you’re back to the same levels of happiness you were at before the money. It’s pretty much the crowning “feature” of our biological wiring - because if an animal like us in ancient times was blissfully content the moment their lot in life improved, they would stop trying and not end up spreading their genes. So we’re pretty much doomed to never be truly happy/content because of how natural selection works.

>So learning Mandarin, Japanese, other similar languages is way harder than learning Korean or Vietnamese, while they are very similar by nature (there are even similar words in them).

This is a comically wrong statement. Those four languages are not similar at all -- they are four languages from four different families, they could hardly be more different! Even the loanwords that they have are often hardly recognizable, much less than with languages that are actually very close (say, English and Romanian).

This idea that somehow there was a time where the medias where full of honest and competent people seems delusional to me.

I’m always tickled pink at people who like to debate the validity of the Scientific Method online. You do realize that the scientific method is what made your computer and the the internet possible, right?

Well put! It's also worth mentioning that because of the network conditions, UDP is a better choice than TCP. The reason is that the retransmissions in TCP are not helping with real-time video.

However every protocol doing this must have fallback from UDP to TCP because there are a surprising amount of corporate firewalls out there that arbitrarily limits the use of UDP.

We worked extensively with webrtc, but are recently switching to our own protocol. The main reason is that webrtc is very complex and generic. You can make a better user experience if you adapt the protocol to target your use case.

Another reason is that we can more easily detect firewalls and give the user feedback about it.

Here's difference between airpods and plastic bottles:

> They can’t be repaired because they're glued together. They can’t be thrown out, or else the lithium-ion battery may start a fire in the garbage compactor. They can’t be easily recycled, because there’s no safe way to separate the lithium-ion battery from the plastic shell.
Jesus, that’s a really bad article, spinning some truths, irrelevant info and memes into hate. Most of what’s written applies to all wireless headphones, wired headphones or even other consumer electronics. Also, Apple has a recycling program. Would it be too much journalism to say why it doesn’t change the situation? If they managed to recycle most of the AirPods, then I’m mostly happy with the product, and it’s entirely my fault if it ends up on a landfill.

True, I would wish the headphones to be more repairable, but there’s a big difference between designing a repairable washing machine and repairable wireless headphones. The design constraints are pretty tight I imagine.

Writing such hateful and poor quality articles is not going to improve anything.
A thing may be identified by a URI (/person/123) for which there are zero or more URL routes (/person/123, /v1/person/123). Each additional route complicates caching; redirects are cheap for the server but slower for clients.

JSONLD does define a standard way to indicate that a value is a link: @id (which can be specified in a/an @context)
https://www.w3.org/TR/json-ld11/

One additional downside to storing URIs instead of bare references is that it's more complicated to validate a URI template than a simple regex like \d+ or [abcdef\=\d+]+

I've worked for both startups and corporations. Corporate jobs are soul-crushing because everything about the environment seems to hinder you from producing real value and from learning new useful things. Corporate jobs hurt your inner creator and they destroy your sense of pragmatism.

Most of the stuff you learn in corporations are anti-patterns that you have to unlearn after you leave.

The reason why corporate jobs feel so meaningless is because most tech corporations have had a long term monopoly over their respective markets. They haven't had to really struggle on the market for several decades in some cases... Inside a corporation, mediocrity is the definition of success. If employees can produce something mediocre that only just works, it will translate into disproportionate revenue gains due to centralizing and monopolistic market forces. I think that this is what is meant when people talk about the "golden cage".

That's why I try to avoid corporate jobs. They pay well and you do learn some stuff in the first few months but after that your skills start degenerating and a lot of people don't notice it when it happens to them; then they get stuck in that job (or other corporate jobs) because no efficient company exposed to normal market forces will hire them.

Also note that the definition of 'normal market forces' is relative. Most startups which don't go through the normal corporation-controlled VC funnel (e.g. bootstraped startups) have a really tough time working against centralizing and monopolizing market forces.
Normal flight is flight is fine. The issue with the new engines was that the nacelles generated lift in specific scenarios at high-angle-of-attack which changed the pitch.

This doesn't mean the aircraft is fundamentally unsound, it's just a flying characteristic and can be managed just fine if the pilots knew about it and what the MCAS system was doing to counter it.
I think there's a huge difference between risking bankruptcy and risking your freedom. I mean, even leaving aside the traders who trade other people's money, even if it's your cash, once you were rich, even if you go bankrupt, you are still better off than tha vast majority of Americans, just due to your contacts and education. I mean, the difference between being a rich trader and being a mediocre IT dude are way smaller, say, than the differences between being a mediocre IT dude and being in jail.

(I actually know a few guys who went the failed trader -> IT dude route)
"We have rhapsodized demolition as liberation"
Sounds like a conservative criticism of the Enlightenment.

"There was this sense that we were being broken down and built up again as new people, as these high-powered minds — only without the groupthink that gets enforced in a barracks."
Is he sure about that? It seems certain ideas are enforced with cult-like rigidity.

My experience heading toward the academic track, and then ducking out, wasn't a great one. I felt like I learned more on my own, out of my own interest in the subject, than in any classroom. It gave me a few starting points, but that's all. Academia seems to have ceased to be a place where people engage in and built upon the Western cultural project, and instead is a place of 'liberation' from that project, from the west, from the canon, from everything that put a foundation under our civilization, letting in everything that doesn't matter. In a sense, it deserves to die. And it deserve to die even more for not seeming to recognize why it's dying, and for placing all the blame on others. And yet, cultural studies, humanities, and history, are all absolutely necessary for democracy, and if it truly ends, what then?

If I'm allowed to be rude, another problem is a serious lack of thoughtful people, even this guy doesn't seem to be saying anything interesting or provoking, yet he thinks he's worthy of a position. I really noticed a lack of any kind of academic debate going on in my time at university. I felt alone in my desire to test and challenge ideas. One female student in an English class once attacked me for 'wanting to argue with ideas all the time'. What should I make of that?

I'll end with a provoking thought, the kind of thing that should be allowed in academe: so men together, in the good old boys club, built things, and women and men together produced what? too many heirs? :^)

Understanding and Characterizing Hidden Interception of the DNS Resolution Path [pdf]
It would be interesting to ask Apple how much they manage to recycle from the AirPods and how. Would that be asking too much from the article author?
When my Airpods die, I'll take them back to my local Applestore to be recycled. Apple is streets ahead of most companies in this respect.
As someone who is wholly unfamiliar with this, why should relationships be treated any differently than any other attribute of some object returned by a web api?

If data-attributes have to be parsed out of some json-body, but link-attributes have to be parsed out of the header, that's weird. It becomes even weirder if I decide to switch from using a key-in-the-body to a link-in-the-header.

That doesn't sound easy or obvious. As is, as someone dealing with a REST API, I rarely, if ever, have to think of headers. When I do, they're related to things like CORS, and transport layer semantics, not application level semantics. But now you're saying that, actually, some of my application semantics should be in the header, but most should be in the body.

How is that easy or obvious? Why is that better?

I'm dead serious, I'm not kidding, I'm not the user you just responded to.

The answer is in the part that says "it can be useful to have typed links that are independent of their serialisation, especially when a resource has representations in multiple formats".

In HTTP, URLs locate a 'resource'. Then you and the server do content negotiation, implicit and/or explicit, to select a 'resource representation'. Think of these as different formats for the same conceptual thing identified by the URL. Some formats like HTML can support hypermedia that can have embedded links. Some, like 'text/plain' or 'image/gif', can't.

Link headers allow links from the current resource to other resources to be communicated even if the chosen representation can't communicate links in its body.
This isn't really about a software project. It seems to be two people in a disagreement over ownership / payment / whatever and has been posted to HN to get some attention.
I felt the same way before I tried Airpods. They are ridiculously useful and convenient, and they don't sound bad either. For me, it's a tiny device to use for hands-free phone calls and indulge in music on the go without having to lug another large device around.
I reject the thesis of this article. Specifically that a shortage of helium, and therefore balloons, is hurting parties. Not even at a child's birthday party would I think, "Where are all the balloons? This party SUCKS!!!"

HTML is a markup language whose primary goal is to provide human users with a readable and navigatable document through a web browser.

There's a reason why HTML is primarily used to provide human-readable documents, while web APIs are implemented based on other document formats that are better suited to provide machine-readable resource encodings.
Hi, author here. You are saying exactly what I was thinking before. But turns out, generational GCs have nasty failure modes when things don't go as expected. E.g., if an upstream experiences its own difficulties and returns responses slower, our service has to keep all the requests in memory longer, so the heap runs out, and G1 performs a few fruitless YoungGCs (without freeing much) and then tenures all those requests to OldGC, and now you have a big OldGC pause bomb waiting for you.

Non-generational GCs don't have this problem, and it's one of the reasons why Shenandoah suited us well there.
