"When a message is parsed, if it does not contain an optional element, the corresponding field in the parsed object is set to the default value for that field. The default value can be specified as part of the message description. For example, let's say you want to provide a default value of 10 for a SearchRequest's result_per_page value.

optional int32 result_per_page = 3 [default = 10];

If the default value is not specified for an optional element, a type-specific default value is used instead: for strings, the default value is the empty string. For bytes, the default value is the empty byte string. For bools, the default value is false. For numeric types, the default value is zero. For enums, the default value is the first value listed in the enum's type definition. This means care must be taken when adding a value to the beginning of an enum value list. See the Updating A Message Type section for guidelines on how to safely change definitions."

Well according to the docs on protocol buffers at least my understanding is as I have read elsewhere.

Not sure where you've got the 'few dozen' number from - that's not to my experience. Tandberg quote "1,000,000 passes on any area of tape, equates to over 20,000 end to end passes/260 full tape backup" http://www.tandbergdata.com/default/assets/File/Data_Sheets/...
I wouldn't be to sure the Apple watch is even comparable to 1-lead ECG, simply due to the difference of how ECG is attached to you and how the Apple watch is.

Through this doesn't mean the Apple watch can't be a useful addition, just don't rely on it.
IIRC China heavily incentivized bus conversions to electric. Neighboring Hong Kong tested and rejected BYD buses because the range was very poor and got eaten up by the hills, and they weren’t getting money from China to do it. That’s part of the reason why Albuquerque had such a poor experience; the route has 1000 ft of elevation gain.

These screens are factory calibrated (supposedly, but they included a colorimeter report in the box) and they're all consistent several years later so I'm guessing so. Maybe its gamma? Or maybe you're on OSX? (IIRC apple devices use gamma 2.2 by default and Windows does 1.8? I think?) Our difference could totally be because of default gamma.

> There's not a lot of difference […] One is horseradish and the other is a close relative of horseradish.

Close relatives of the horseradish include woad (the ancient indigo source), turnips, rapeseed, cabbages, weeds (thale cress) and flowery shrubs & al. "Close relative" is not an indication of "not a lot of difference". You might as well say that mustard (also a close relative) is no different from wasabi.
Every time boulevardesque stuff like this gets too prominent on the HN frontpage, I go do a deep dive into daily politics to see if there is anything that is being buried.
I speculate the cause is self selection. People who know they don't have what it takes to become manager or any job that depends on soft skills are unlikely to major in liberal arts and more likely to choose engineering. Hence, fewer engineers move up the ladder. I can speak from experience. My parents prevented me from choosing a masters in science management because of the management.
Have an aunt in old age home and she finally upgraded to a Android phone (LG Q60) after using a Nokia 3110 ... her biggest complaint was that the phone could not take photos.

Eh, the "stereotypes" seemed pretty close to my experiences. Maybe we've just been working at the goofier startups.

No one says that about me. When I comment on it, I am invariably dismissed and attacked, told I'm bragging about and obsessed with meaningless internet points, etc.

That's the essence of sexism right there: When a man does it, it counts for something. When a woman does it, it counts for nothing and she will be ROFLstomped if she dares to point out the discrepancy exists.

Google Quantum Computer
I was commenting more on the actual quality issues they've been having, and their replacing some components with ones of perceived lesser quality in the pursuit of size and weight reduction (e.g. the keyboard).

The quality argument isn't worth discussing much, as I assume you agree with the premise that quality should not drop, even if you may or may not agree it has or has not dropped (but Apple doesn't score nearly as well as it used to with review sites, and there are various things I could link to regarding quality problems, or you could just watch from stuff from Louis Rossmann).

The keyboard argument I think requires a bit more explanation, in that I think the keyboard is both of more relative importance than weight, and should be of importance for more time than the weight is as well (you should be using the keyboard longer than you are walking around with the laptop, if it's actually important for your job). As such, I see a change in the keyboard as a functionality loss for a marketing gain, since the actual weight reduction could be very minimal since it was mainly for thickness reduction (it appears the 2015 Macbook Pro might be lighter than the 2019 Macbook Pro?). To me that speaks to Apple trying to retain or cement the status symbol feature of their brand, where artistic design is, to some degree, outweighing functional design.
It hasn't declined any more than pepsi and coca cola have declined, and there's no reason to believe it ever will. MIPS is gone. Power architecture being open sourced likely means IBM no longer has a business interest in it. This is what business folks call shakeout. It's what intellectuals would call the "end of history" for the microprocessor, similar to the fall the USSR. Big money research has moved on to quantum processors.

Speaking as someone who's an avid reader of open source codebases, I kind of wish more of my colleagues would accept this, because it really stymies progress in open source that folks continue supporting huge amounts of code that today are mostly only used by folks doing things like emulating Sega Saturn on an FPGA for fun.

True in the sense that it creates a "floor" for the depths to which people might sink. But this process can still sink pretty low.

Consider how women couldn't vote in the US until 1919 -- a half century after blacks.

And a more modern example that was on display for all to see: the confirmation hearings of Brett Kavanaugh. There were not a lot of facts available -- no date, no place, no witness that could remember. Yet millions were ready to brand him a rapist to the whole nation and pressure him out of political office.
I'm not sure how your logic works: "most meritocratic, efficient, and transparent" does not mean flawless.

If you have useful data, you might as well get a big research grant to publish it. If the buyer (in this case the government or university) were to demand reproducibility, this would cost more, because reproducibility takes work, and it would be worth more; overall scientific progress would accelerate, because reproduction with variation (sounds familiar) has value.
Atleast from what I've been told and from experience, if you rotate over master backup tapes every few months, the tape will be almost 6 years old by the time it reaches the first two dozen end to end writes, that usually means newer LTO standards, newer drives and newer tapes on the market to replace them with.

That's a lot of wasabi.
People are already refusing to call 911 or the equivalent in other countries and the reasons are manifold. For one, liability is a concern, a socially trained lack of empathy (e.g. Han Chinese), or the bystander effect.

There is high resale value in Apple products, you can quite literally always have the newest mbp 13” for around $150-250 a year depending on how often they release.

Don’t get me wrong, when I sold my mbp 2018 edition earlier this year it was replaced by a surface pro 6. But if you’re not fed up with the Apple eco-system as I am, then there can be a lot of value in resales and you won’t get those with any other brand. My surface pro by contrast lost 80% of its value to moment I bought it.
Sounds like digital authoritarianism.

I don't see how that has anything at all to do with the issue. The durability of sex-based discrimination in throughout the history of human societies demonstrably has nothing to do with that.

Regarding the increase, I would argue that is less about increased device complexity but more about the increase in the amount of people who are using these devices on a daily basis. More they use, the more problems they encounter; I think the intersection between complexity and usage is determined moreso by the latter.

The watch would know it wasn't attached to a person.
I agree that in this particular use case it was beneficial to wear an Apple Watch. But never ever wear a watch on your motorcycle. The force and impact can mess up your wrist in a crash. If you land on the watch it can push the case into your wrist potentially breaking it. Or hook behind something. If you do insist on a watch, wear a motorcycle jacket and long gloves over it.
I'm under the impression a lot of people fall for the marketing and use VPNs for privacy.

That's very interesting but I want to know more. The work described in the article only traces a likely attention circuit in the brain (... of mice, but OK). I want to know how this circuit works. How is it that we know what needs to be attended to and what to filter out? What turns the knobs of attention?

When I'm looking for my keys, I know what I'm looking for so I can see how my attention may know what to focus on and what to ignore. Perhaps, when I'm driving down the road and an animal darts across it, I know to focus on it because I have a propensity to pay attention to sudden movements. I can see how that would be very useful to have indeed.

But when there is nothing guiding my attention, like an object of interest or a motion- it's still on and it can still focus. And it can still surprise me.

Last year I had two examples of this. I was on a boat with some friends and I suddendly noticed a cruise liner far off in the distance. It was blending with its surroundings (particularly the mountaints behind it) and so even when I pointed it out to my friends they could not see it for a minute or so, until it moved closer. Another time, I noticed a military helicopter flying across a hilltop. I pointed it out to my mother and again she couldn't see it. My eyes picked both objects out and I was just gazing towards them semi-distracted not expecting anything to be there... how? And why? And how about all the other times I've missed similar information right before my eyes?

How is it that we know what to pay attention to and what to ignore? How do we know what is relevant?

To the point. Doing it right has a much higher influence than the platform. The later might be a barrier but at that stage, that often does not matter anymore. Even PHP utilized the right way (looking at swoole) can performance wise beat other stacks.

The ones you are talking about are those who earned need based financial aid for scholastic achievements. If that’s what you mean by “elite” I guess you’re right in the sense that it’s difficult to manage and they’ve done so, but that’s a strange way to describe hard working students.

In Europe, in a lot of countries there are programs such as the dutch BHV (BedrijfsHulpVerlener) program. Basically: companies need to have some people on staff with a basic first aid and fire evacuation training.

I have done this, and it has helped in mitigating the bystander effect. It means that there is a relatively large amount of people in the population that know what to do when accidents occur. IMO this makes bystanders who have done such programs to help, since they know how valuable time is in a lot of these situations.

Since I have done this training, whenever there is an accident on the streets and I am nearby, I will go help because I know what to do. And am therefor more likely to take initiative.

So I wouldn't immediately say this discount would be correct. It could also mean that some mitigation against the bystander effect is working.

Yes, you are misrepresenting what was written. You are correct that, "the GP seems me to to be proposing the idea that jurors will be more fair to members of the opposite sex if they have members of that sex as part of their immediate family".

It is a massive exaggeration, if not an outright fabrication, to expand this to "the notion that fathers who have daughters can't be sexist towards women" - what you wrote your original comment in this chain. The grandparent comment stated that fathers with daughters give deference towards women in a very specific situation. No reasonable reading of this comment can be interpreted as denying the ability of fathers with daughters to be sexist towards women.

That is be expected after so many years. Also, before apple started its "retina" branding it just had worse screens than comparable competition, e.g. sony vaio or hp and lenovo with nice high-res IPS screens while the air had a rather low res TN screen.

> The first Librem 5 smartphones roll off the assembly line and ship to customers.

Sounds like only the first part of that sentence is true? The good news being that you should get that email soon, I guess.

To get this started: Palantir. I know the world, and myself, may change; but I choose to believe that I would never work for "defense" or the military-industrial complex.

It could become inconsistent as a position in the long term, as we might be headed towards a future in which most leading IT companies collaborate with the military-industrial complex via contracts in some way or other. Hopefully not, though, and until then I'll refrain from working for companies that are explicitly in that space.
