I think it's exactly because they are so complex that those engines can afford to share a lot of code between platforms. For smaller and/or simpler applications, it's probably not worth it to deal with the cross-platform complexities.
"enthusiasm" is another one
We had a similar issue, but with date corruption instead of just excess power usage. Always tie every input to something, don't just leave them unused.
That jumped out at me too. My reading was the implication that if there was a union, you would lose that. It seems like a common anti-union talking point, from what I've seen at Walmart and Whole Foods.
You scroll up, and then read each tweet.

I refuse to believe HN users are this genuinely ignorant about such a basic website. It's really nowhere near as hard to read as anyone here makes it out to be.
Value proposition time haha :-)

1) you have access to the Raspbian and Pi ecosystem
2) it has actual usable UI, commercial-grade I would say

The whole idea of this project is to help makers to be portable with their projects. The display is optional.
Just... scroll up for the earlier parts of the thread?
Still surprised there isn't an open source AV and Firewall combo for Windows that competes heavily, and still can offer a pro version for people who want to support the project.
They're clearly not literal bots, but they're just as clearly following a loose corporate script while claiming it's their own honest opinion.
The N word is simply the Latin word for black. It was probably used a lot by Latin, and maybe medieval age scholars to describe lots of things in a non-racist way. The issue is that MODERN racists have decided that the N-word is an insult to a subset of the community. As such, the N-word has become an insult.

My point is that words have meaning based on who uses the word. The N-word is used by racists and is now avoided by polite society (unless you wish to explicitly label yourself a racist)

"Deep State" is used by conspiracy theorists who wish to destroy government workers and their positions. Its a phrase that should be avoided unless you wish to paint yourself a conspiracy theorist.
This is usually called projection.
Those -asm words all have Greek origins (orgasmos, khasma, phantasma, etc. The words jasm and jism appear to be specific to US English; perhaps originating from a creole language?
The loss of DJs to syndicated formats was tragic.

These folks are pros, with vast experience, and they can put together a show by theme, or to tell a story, or to set a mood, or to challenge you with some new things. Most of them now press the button on whatever they're told and read the title out.

But, every once in a while they sneak in a late night show now, maybe when mgmt isn't looking.

I wonder if this would be a good format for streaming, like the old days but global, with a live DJ and fans interacting live.
Like the Xerox scanner bug which randomly altered digits in numbers. These problems aren't just theoretical.

Fuel fire to atmosphere is not particularly likely at the remaining Chernobyl type reactors, never mind more safety oriented modern designs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_Simplified_Boiling_Wa...

The Fukushima disaster nicely demonstrated that there is lots of risk, but the incredible severity of the release at Chernobyl is probably going to be historically unique.

(Fukushima released quite a lot of material, mostly leaking Cesium into groundwater (and then the ocean). Chernobyl released several metric tons of fuel directly into the atmosphere...)
IMO, his kids will be just fine. Probably more than fine and more capable of handling real-life situations compared to other kids.

The positive effects of social media is highly exaggerated.
> I have a few problems with hubs; you need to store the physical thing somewhere, and as a house with difficulties in getting a wifi connection to corners

The hub only speaks WiFi to the app.

All the smart units (hub included) use Zigbee mesh-networking for cross device-communication, which is self-extending and only gets more reliable the more units you add.

At no point in time does IKEA or Hue bulbs depend on WiFi to function.
Ask HN: What's the point of the TM and (R) symbols?
I was reading that Mercedes-Benz PRE-SAFE(R) marketing prose, and it prompted me to ask this question that I've been wondering for a while: Why do companies mess up their text and logo images with TM and (R) symbols?

To be clear: I understand what trademark laws and registration are for. I am not asking for an overview of the theory of trademark law. I'm specifically asking why they insist on slathering TM and (R) symbols in text and in images. What horrible thing would happen if Mercedes-Benz had not awkwardly slapped (R) after every-other word in that article?
They're people (one person?) following a corporate script, but they're clearly not literally chatbots. Chatbots aren't even this coherent.
This may also stem from some union-busting messaging. One of the talking points that you see on anti-union posters and in videos is "unions get in the way of you talking to your manager, when you can talk to your manager directly you can address concerns straightaway with them."

This reminds me of that.
Resistance is futile.
Does this mean we're going to more of the Žižek FC Ambassador? I imagine it like Chompskybot but more flamboyant.

It’s actually pretty interesting, but to your point, apparently children can tolerate a higher fall.

Here’s a reddit post where a kid falls from a window and a lady is trying to help her back home:

https://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/c0j87k/kid_falls_from_...

It’s largely due to their lower mass and flexibility. It’s all about deceleration. Depending how they (and adults) fall how their chances of survival are impacted.
Having read that and his other works I wonder if his "messed up" childhood is as an important source of his themes of betrayal as the Cambridge 5 where.
My theory is, that all of these people are actually part of the same art project.

I think Apple is pretty clearly able to "compete with free" and has shown it's possible to make great money by bundling some costs into the hardware + offering good cloud services with low-friction payments.
I double-checked now that I'm back at work, and I was flat-out wrong. This machine has 16 GB.

No wonder I don't have issues.

I hope tab suspension helps you. It certainly made Chrome more usable for me (but I do have a bad habit of getting to fifty or seventy tabs open).
> I'm assuming most android tablets can run any Linux

This is definitely not the case. There are almost no android tablets that people have even bothered figuring out how to boot normal linux on, and I'm not sure there are ANY that have complete driver support.

Other than this your best bet would probably be to try to find an x86 tablet from 5 years ago and even those are a huge pain to use linux on.
The same thing that happens as more people install ad blockers.
I believe the Fox Sports app was done by a company called WillowTree.

They specifically mentioned when I was interviewing there that the reason their Xamarin apps are so good is because they already know how to make good native iOS apps.

Also, I specifically asked about whether or not they would be using more technologies like Xamarin in the future and they didn't seem too keen on it.

According to them, making a truly native seeming app in Xamarin isn't much less work than making two separate native apps.

I think this is a r/hailcorporate joke and not really from an LG employee.
Good idea!

I know this is often asked over the phone, so that'll be a little awkward, especially if using non alphanumeric characters. Interestingly though, I wonder how easy is it to reset your mother's maiden name to a new name if it go out in the wild.
I'm observing, not suggesting. Not an expert, just a self-preserving layperson.

As I currently understand it:

Most power generation will addressed with wind plus solar, and adopting direct power for our grid. The challenges here are time, money, politics. We'll need to prop up existing nuclear during the transition. Say 10-20 years. Better batteries (storage) will be better, sure. But batteries are no longer a blocker.

We can kinda us see how transportation will play out. 20-30 years to transition to EVs. Carbon taxes to greatly discourage shipping and air travel.

Construction and agriculture are all but unaddressed, much less solved.

--

Meanwhile, atmospheric carbon will continue to rise due to burning forests, ocean acidification, thawing tundra. These "natural" sources are 2-3x greater than anthropogenic. They are in a positive feedback loop. They are currently unstoppable.

For which we have no plan.

We'll need carbon capture. Olivine, CO2-to-ammonia, CO2 scrubbers, algae bioreactors are the only concrete proposals I've heard (and now remember). It won't be enough.

We should dump money into every half-way plausible idea (a la X Prizes) and hope some of it works. Somehow remove carbon faster than it's being added.

More far fetched notions will be tried too. Dumping iron into the ocean. Aerosols to dim sunlight. Light up some volcanos. Hopefully something helps.
As someone with plenty of C++ knowledge on mobile, I would expect there to be more C++ devs available with good mobile skills than there are rust devs?

Maybe my own viewpoint is twisting the amount of devs I think are available, but I don't think the choice dropbox originally made was crazy. C++ is a great way to share complex code over multiple platforms (i.e. desktop + mobile) if you're running a relatively small engineering team with limited resources.

Now, if you have semi unlimited resources, it makes sense to rebuild things natively for each platform in many cases. But Dropbox might not have been around, had they not maken the choice to share part of their codebase cross platforms.
"tail -f /dev/null"
In my experience being in a union (against my preferences) it’s not implied, but a fact.

Unions have sued their own members for speaking with managers about grievances.
Reminds me of the key programming method for my 2003 car: Sit in the driver seat of your G35. Close all of the car doors. Insert the key into the ignition then remove it. Repeat this process six times within 10 seconds. Watch for the emergency lights to flash on the car to indicate that programming mode is active.
I really dont get the hate or disinterest with ECS or fargate.

It took me all of 4 days to come up with a CI/CD pipeline/production environment using ECS and fargate for the startup I was the cto for.

We are now looking at kuberneties or reserved instances to save some money as we have scaled to angel->seed->series A. Though tbh its looking like the extra cost is worth it given the out of the box 1 click scaling, blue/green deployments and "conatiner as a server" level monitoring and logging.
This has happened at other times in the past as well. Video games stagnated in the 80s pre-Nintendo, Microsoft's "embrace, extend, extinguish" killed a lot of innovation in the 90s. Macs died a slow an horrible death before Jobs' revival...

Technology cycles and we're at the end of a large one. Consolidation, regulatory capture and gaps between generations cause this IMO.

This suggests that there is something weird going on: https://twitter.com/TheKenChilds/status/1161847717397696512
Yes...and is that not factual?

My experience being in a union tells me it is.
Or the weather. Or the real time price of electricity. Or high-demand periods. Or the learned heat retention capability of a particular home. Or a ton of other things that have never been implemented.
If they can, you haven't shown that. The "computation" you present is not just the actor's behavior, but the behavior of a combined actor-collaborator system (the collaborator is whatever it is that sends the actor messages). This system presents "super-Turing" behavior iff the collaborator is super-Turing. You haven't shown such a collaborator, that can reliably emit a `stop` command after an arbitrary number of `go`s, can exist. It's always possible that the scientific consensus is wrong, but that requires proof, and the "proof" in the paper isn't one.
yes me too but that is basically as expensive as my dell tablet for just writing? it seems like to high a premium (yes i know i said i would kill).
One comment pointed out that they often tweet via an app called Sprinklr. They are probably real employees being randomly assigned tweets that need user engagement. Sprinklr is a social media advertising service. Paying employees to tweet about their employer is advertisement.

Ford Working on EV with Rivian: Will It Be an SUV?
I have been living in the park & taking calls at the lottery hotline for 25+ years, according to all but my guv, insurance provider & LEOs. Some others may get a PO Box, but if X doesn't fall under the umbrella of the former mentioned, they get all the mis-info I can feed them. Sadly, today the institutions I must rely on sell all that info to the highest bidders, anyway.

In the list of info gleaned from your phone # the writer forgot your online purchase history, vehicle VIN & plate number and pretty much EVERY MOVE YOU MAKE day-to-day thanks to O/L retailers, your cell provider, your TV/provider, your DMV, your insurance provider, your city/county/state/Fed & everyone else under the sun selling your info. Many ask for your phone # "for security reasons" and then immediately sell it. TFA states it is better than your "full name"... that's nothing, as I have >7 same-names in my metro alone. It is, indeed, better than your social security #(in the States, anyway).
All of the information the "hacker" found using the reporter's cell number could have been found using just the reporter's name and rough location.

It seems strange to me that peoples names, addresses, and phone numbers used to be freely distributed in a large book to every house in town yet now any one of those details can be used to assume someone's "identity." It seems the only thing stopping this from happening en-masse is that nobody has tried.
Given how much potential there is to make a vastly superior Nest-like thermostat, why hasn't anyone done it?
To actually answer your question, no, $$invalidate doesn't mean all the DOM nodes get recreated. You can see that in this example: https://svelte.dev/repl/d3898004792c467d8eacefb054d8263a?ver...

Also, Svelte has keys like React which can help out. See this example in the tutorial for that: https://svelte.dev/tutorial/keyed-each-blocks
So the point of the device is to be able to develop pi stuff which is then most likely used on a regular pi when deployed? Am I interpreting that right?
How does the light bulb know it's unscrewed? How is that different from turning the switch off?

it could easily measure this by either:

- a limit switch, or

- a split center electrode: if there is a conducting path between left and right halves between center electrode, then the bulb is screwed in, or

- measuring the capacitance between outer and center electrode: in open air there is the known capacitance, when screwed in both the electrodes of the housing, and the long parallel conductors going to the switches will alter the capacitance

- myriad other ways: electrically there is a huge difference between an unscrewed bulb, and a screwd-in bulb in an open circuit

TVs seem like the last thing that needs to be smart. Why can't I buy just the panel that shows the image and then connect whatever Android TV box I want so I can display the video? Then I can make sure that's patched/upgraded/whatever without having to throw away the actually-expensive panel every time.

I guess that doesn't make people keep buying TVs...
Yeah, I don't doubt the reports about it. I was just commenting about how "we actually have an open door policy" doesn't necessarily mean that the employees are brainwashed into thinking that having basic rights is something to applaud.
Wow this is really freaking cool!! You just made a tool that auto documents bits of code this is incredibly useful.

No they won their independence from wars, most of the colonies that where "given back" won their independence through fighting in world war 1 and 2, there are very few exceptions to this rule.

Phenomenal cast in that film - you would be hard pressed to hire even one of the supporting cast members these days with the $20m the film apparently cost at the time.
I'm not sure that's any safer. It should protect you from the automated prompt-response systems, where an absolute match is required. But call-center workers see those answers in plaintext. Eventually an attacker will probably reach one where answering, "It's a lot of random letters and numbers. I forgot what they were but the real name is Smith!" will be enough to pass.
Maybe their lives haven't developed how they wanted them too and thus are less optimistic in general and looking for scapegoats (or causes) to their unhappiness.
So it resets every time you leave the bulb off long enough for the capacitor to discharge?
According to this report from the Guardian recycled plastic from the US ends up in developing countries that mismanage that waste. Maybe the answer is to throw our plastic in the trash and not participate in the 'recycling' charade.

Even if it is; the availability of pretty much perfect contraceptives negates that to a large degree. The use of contraceptives is cultural, not biological.

So we'll hit a replacement problem long before natural selection has time to catch up. The replacement issue has already real implications, this will become much more obvious in the course of the next 30 years.

Any relevant change on the population size the propensity for fertility can have; it will take (three, four, five , ...) generations to manifest.

There should be a whole section on offshoring and flooding the market with H1Bs of varying, but typically low-end skills. Outcomes don't even seem to matter if management can play the "they were cheaper" card.

I swear, I have seen it all. I hold a very low opinion of the typical MBA. I think every business program in the US has the same exact playbook, there is nothing innovative coming out of those schools whatsoever.

One would think the US would be better and yet we are so infuriatingly mediocre in every possible way.
You are quoting only half of the post, particularly the half I wasn't responding to. Try quoting the other half. Also my claim is that he is rich, not some exact measure or level of wealth.

>What evidence in your view, other than his his tax returns and financial statements, is there to show his wealth?

You really think that you need tax returns to prove he is currently wealthy? Is that a consistent standard you apply to everyone? When someone says that Bill Gates is rich, do you request the same level of documentation before you believe it? Are you doubting the relevance of other indicators of wealth such as lifestyle and property holdings?
What Does It Mean to Be a “Good” Engineer?
How does it do all this with no power?
WeWork does have a strong brand, but sells a commodity dressed up to try to make it a specialty product.

Office space is cheap and available everywhere. I know lots of small operators running the wework model, but offering the same thing for half the price or less.

I just don't see this as a sustainable business. As a business owner and leasor of office space, I will just look for the best value. I don't care about the brand.

I attended a racetrack day hosted by wework to sell me on their space. It was fun, but it must cost them $2,000 a person and I and no one I know who attended became customers.
Not "chat bots", "bots". Which is a bit of a misnomer but has come to mean astroturf accounts on Twitter.

A single person or a small group of people manages a large number of social media accounts in order to pretend to represent a certain group of people. Because so many accounts are managed by so few people (whose full-time job it is to engage with others online to try and change their mind), these accounts tend to not have distinguishable voices or viewpoints, when you're talking to one it's like talking to a robot, or, like the linked tweet says, to the borg.
Random dictionary words would solve that issue.
yes, and when you're done, it's portable.
They dodge like politicians.
At some point you have to pick which one you think is more important. I'd much rather have criminals than big brother, and I think we can have a reasonable balance between the two.

Maybe this means I need to stop supporting Amazon.
Many sites , e.g. Coworker.co already exist . Running such a website seems to be easier than running an airbnb - the leases are daily passes and they dont seem to worry about cleaning fees & damages etc. The main takeaway for wework is that they are in the real estate space, this is an uber-competitive and regulated space which has been "disrupted" for millenia
I consider a lot of "smart" devices and IoT artifacts as pollution, as far as security and reliability are concerned.

Yes, let's take long-lived hardware and embed short-lived networked software in it, and do so in an environment where there are no economic or regulatory incentives to keep them patched over the expected life of the hardware. Thanks for the innovation, tech industry.
Additional arguments against economic stagnation
quotemstr was talking about the infrastructure that they control. It's true that they can track visitors server-side if they want to.
Is it? I think the concern is that the members of the group are paid to share a certain message. They’re not allowed to share how they really feel, since they’re tweeting on the clock.
if (systemcall(“some string”, expression_argument(args), SC_MODE_1 | SC_MODE_DEFAULT) != 0)

One may find it easier to read/navigate flow control in C code that returns status codes, when these codes are stated beforehand. When there are series of long lines and a mix of 0==success and 0==false, it is easy to get lost, at least in my experience.
There is no "collaborator" in the Actor computation that Plotkin:s proof shows cannot be preformed by a nondeterministic Turing Machine.
Totally true. Thanks.
Which has an interesting etymology. Also from Greek, but the original root word is theos, "god", from which is derived enthous, "possessed by god", and further enthousiasmos, "being possessed by god", or less literally "being inspired".
