I use a keyboard and mouse at my desk. Not interested in touching the screen as it takes more effort and would need to be cleaned more often. I want easily discoverable menus, easily used scrollbars, and a dark theme. Real work has taken a backseat to play. I have an iPad/Phone for that and enjoy that at the sofa. Two use cases, not one.
Power users prefer increased functionality over discoverability. Similar to how the command line is foreign to most computer users. For iOS, you're on the "prefer discoverability" side of the spectrum; Apple seems to build more for "prefer advanced/invest time to learn".
I have a project (that's in slow development) where I plan to use AI bots so they act like the player is in a MMO.

One approach for renewable energy not always being available is molten salt: https://insideclimatenews.org/news/16012018/csp-concentrated...

It heats the salt up to 1050 degrees where it is essentially a liquid and uses that to produce steam to turn a turbine.
Fluidics can work much faster upto 10 KHz[0], maybe even up to 30 KHz or higher if one uses light gases like hydrogen or helium. Although fluidic elements tend to be pretty and have a foot print on the order about a square centimeter. They are also difficult to scale down because it's difficult to maintain the same reynolds number.

Mechanical logic is an interesting option as some newly developed MEMS logic gates might be able to operate at MHz frequencies[1].

Fragile cargo at least. For some otherwise fragile things, you could submerge them in an incompressible fluid of similar density to reduce the difference in force throughout them. Your brain's tissue is very soft, yet by being buoyant in its cerebrospinal fluid it becomes capable of withstanding much higher acceleration.
I've asked this question a bunch of times before and this is the first time I've gotten any suggestions as concrete as firebase. Thanks a ton. It's super helpful when I don't even know what to google. Previous attempts to google it led to me thinking OAuth and OpenID were out of the box solutions, and I gave up. Like, seriously thanks. Any suggested alternatives I should also look into while I'm at it? (ideally ones that aren't "log in via fb or google")
Considering that Windows 95 powered many people's first exposure to computers, they clearly had to put a lot of thought into user experience. And they did a fantastic job.

I don't really understand what's wrong with a full-screen modal menu, or how that means "this is for mobile." It's true that it looks a bit stark on their homepage where there are only 2 links, but it's probably a fairly sensible extensible design that works well when there are many more links or things to see.

It's fair to criticize specific visual and UX design details, but it's a bit much to take this as any indication that Dropbox doesn't care about desktop users (especially Dropbox) or that everything is being "mobilified."

You understand that the device you linked will blow up if exposed to over 100V right? You're insanely oversimplifying what it would take to convert 10kV down to a usable voltage for use in EVs. Anything that can convert 2MW will be the size of a fridge, at minimum. If you could save a bunch of copper cabling by running everything at 10kV, people would be doing it. 800V is already pushing the limits of what most folks can do with technology we have today.

As a reminder, 10kV can arc close to 2 inches in free air (depending on humidity, of course), which means you need to insulate the hell out of it anywhere it's exposed. That means motors are pretty complicated to use at 10kV. By comparison, 800V only arcs 0.1mm (0.004 inches) max.

Ask HN: What's a web calendar that doesn't suck?
I'm looking to pivot from Google Calendar and FB Calendar to a FLOSS alternative that, to put it simply, doesn't suck. These are the features that matter most to me:

- multiuser support
- public or private events
- tags, or at the least, categorization by location
- RSS/ATOM feed output (for all, or specific tags)
- iCalendar / hCalendar output

Can anyone help me out here? Otherwise I'm thinking of just biting the bullet and making one from scratch in Arc Lisp, but if anyone has experience here it would be a huge lifesaver!

I'm assuming that the client state would be a lazy representation of the back end state, that only pulls data as needed. The result being that local and server state must both be treated only as asynchronously accessible.
I'll take your word for that, and I'm also encouraged by your comments. Nevertheless it's clear from their products that Apple in recent years became infected with an "aesthetics is all that matters" approach to design. So maybe my general complaint should be narrowed from "modern designers" to simply "Jony Ive and those who emulate him" while still admiring designers who carry on the traditions exemplified by e.g. Raymond Loewy, Ray Eames, and Herman Miller.

So you basically suggest that Gitlab adopts a community-driven roadmap for all its analytics purposes?
Very few classification schemes are unambiguously DAGs.

We're used to them for use with physical objects, which can only occupy a single space. When the search interface is the representation (as with files or data stores), cross-referencing across categories is readily facilitated, and (in the extremely rare instance of well-designed ontologies), useful.

I've created several collections using extensive tagging schemas, and not infrequently run out of tags. I've also been looking at various ontologies suggested over the years, dating to Aristotle, Francis Bacon, Diderot, and more recent (often library or encyclopedia) schemas. Some are useful, none are perfect, all incorporate biases and anacronisms.

Another feature of folders (directories), or physical storage locations (for physical items), is that the classification / relation is created automatically by virtue of where an item or file is located. For tagging systems, you've got the additional overhead of specifying (or creating a rules-based tag-generating system) to apply tags to content. Otherwise you end up with a morass of "My Document0012811.docx", "untitled", "unclassified", "misc", etc., content. Cataloguing itself is a role, process, and step, and requires maintenance. Even within library science, the tendency has been to move toward self-describing works, full-text search, and imputed relationships.
Reminds me of the 1 question I got "wrong" on a DOS test (years ago) at TAFE.

The question was "How do you delete all files in the current directory?". Using DOS 6.22 (I think, it's from memory).

My answer "del." was marked incorrect. Because the teacher didn't know enough about DOS to understand that's the standard shortcut for "del .". And the teacher refused to even try out the command, lets alone fix the incorrect mark. sigh

is there a list of features somewhere and are the two listed possible to be disabled? DSP-by-default is an anti-pattern for audio products and I don't want to install an app without seeing what it does...

Pretty much all I care about in an app is discovery (does it list related podcasts?), organization (does it keep my listening history), and playback ordering (does it support chronological | reverse chronological | custom playback ordering for episodes of the same podcast?).
It seems that there are two theoretical extremes on this position:

1. All code should be written in English, and no one should ever use any other language in programming.

2. All code should be written in local languages, and no one should should ever use a common language for collaboration.

I say "theoretical" because I've never heard anyone argue anything like the latter point, which you are satirizing here. On the other hand, there are people in this thread who seem to be arguing the former, which I find nearly as ridiculous.
Finding a competitor and thinking "this thing already looks good has the features I would build and already has a team working on it, why not use this?" and I can't counter my own argument. Into the bin it goes and Netflix binging begins.

There's no 8k limit with triggers? Could you expect on what you mean by that?

One of the motivating factors for not using triggers is that the implied overhead is very significant. By logging changes separately which triggers the write volume is roughly doubled, and the overhead of insertions is much much higher (a lot of fast/bulk path can't be used, the trigger processing needs to be performed).

As a woman who worked at MSFT through the Ballmer era, I have to agree with this whole article. It really nailed it.
Especially this part near the end where I never felt it would get better:

"But my former female colleagues who reviewed this document in advance of its publication are unconvinced. None of them report feeling emboldened by the new Microsoft. They continue to withhold reports of discriminatory management practices. They relate stories of reports of abuse going unpunished and continue to fear reprisals for speaking out. In fact, multiple reviewers noted, independently, the irony that the only reason I am comfortable enough to speak out is that I am a “50-year old white dude” and, thus, girded against reprisal from the body politic. So they remain silent when, in fact, they are among the voices Microsoft needs to hear the most. Apparently, Microsoft has dipped only a single toe in the river that flows to the future."

>Obviously some alternatives are moving to Fastmail and using Duck Duck Go, but we need Google to stop this "my way or you don't exist" attitude before they become a huge conglomerate which controls major aspects of many people's lives (which they arguably already do) and leaves everyone (like small companies that don't use Google or just regular people who don't want a Google account) separated from the world they're forming.

This ship sailed years ago, though.
Why would you buy an EV with 150 miles today, in 2019, when EVs much better than that exist? The "standard" range Tesla Model 3 has 250 miles of range. The Long Range Tesla Model 3 cars is 310 miles whereas the long range Model S does 325 miles of range on a single charge.

You could comfortably do that entire trip on a single charge with existing EVs. Volkswagen is about to release their ID.3, which which has 3 variants ranging from 205-340 miles of range. In a year or two, the range anxiety "problem" with EVs will simply be a noop as EVs will have longer range than most ICE vehicles.

The big question I’ve been struggling with in regards to the free trade debate is this:

Is cheap labor a legitimate source of comparative advantage?

I increasingly don’t think that it is. Yes, we get products more cheaply. But those products are made in countries with fewer labor restrictions, often in places that are not democratic, where workers cannot vote for changing laws. We’re effectively saying we want democracy where we live, for our own white collar professions, but we don’t want to be shackled by those restrictions for how we get rich, or how we enjoy our wealth. We’re effectively telling local blue collar workers that we’re okay with their level of work being taken over by people with less rights than themselves.

That increasingly doesn’t feel just. Comparative advantage makes sense for natural differences between countries, such as availability of natural resources or favorable weather for certain types of crops. But not for fundamental human rights.

Great, so the search results are going to get even worse?
Most of the world doesn't speak English as a primary language. So, I can't imagine it's that big of an advantage in the worldwide market. Instead, there's a certain bar that can be reached by someone without even a 20 year head start.

For example, if I tried to get a programming job in the Ukraine without being able to speak a lick of Russian, I'd be laughed out of the office regardless of how good my English is.

The only time I can see it really mattering is perhaps in the US and UK, due to racist assholes who judge you by your accent instead of your capability.

Says the made-man who stood in the way...

Seriously though, these sort of transitions take time, and people always underestimate just how much time. This is a huge cultural transition and you can't just fire all of the made-men one morning and usher in the new leaders to take there place. There is a real transition that has to happen on multiple levels and rushing it risks putting people in place that aren't yet up to speed.

I'm honestly surprised at just how fast it happening. And it is happening -- and quickly.

Think about all the bad variable and function names from your ESL coworkers. This stuff matters to me enough that I know I would hate being on a project knowing I'm That Guy.

It does bring to mind that Mathematics isn't really done in 'english', it's a pidgin of latin and arabic symbols (and like most or all pidgins, has some whole-cloth inventions).

Instead of making most people learn a new language, should everyone have to learn a new language? Like they used to teach college in Latin in Europe?

The problem is that the only programming language I know of that tried to be its own language-language was APL and thoughts of coding in that give me nightmares.

UML tried to remove some of the english and fared better than APL but that's a wide chasm to cross and they too ended up at the bottom of it.

We are very, very slowly replacing some text in programming languages with more symbols, and with more parsers accepting Unicode characters for string literals we also should have access to the entire panoply of mathematical and scientific symbols (I'd really love proper multiply, not, and exponents to start, then maybe we can talk about sigma for some reduce operations) but the tipping point into "let's go ahead and remove the rest of the english" seems so far off that I'll probably never see it.

A couple of questions for experienced users, or FocusMate reps: this sounds like a potentially useful service but I'm concerned about privacy issues and not annoying other people, esp wrt working in public or common work spaces.

I guess this isn't much different to any other remote conference in that regard - any thoughts on how to use this in a polite and safe way? Or is the idea it's really for use in a private environment only, like your home? That is implied in some of the intro material.

Basically, what are etiquette considerations or issues for other people who aren't involved in the session? Just don't use it in that context?

Secondly, how have you handled the unusual nature of this compared to normal conferencing - where you are directly and continuously interacting with the other person, rather than having them quietly watching over your shoulder as in this case? There are obviously quite concerning potential privacy issues here as well.

There was a post here a little awhile ago from Fair Eng. team that mentioned how they _saved_ hundreds of thousands annually on their AWS ES bill through some change or another.

Hundreds. of. thousands.

I couldn't fathom a situation where they needed that much hardware to return some car listings. Even if you had every car in the world in their database (~1 billion) at ~10k/doc, that's only 10GB of data. And how many people could possibly be looking to rent/lease a car at any single time? So between two pretty guessable ceilings (data size + traffic) it was red flags everywhere.
Having the Model 3 take sales from Model S or X wasn't great because it costs less. The Model Y is priced above the Model 3. People buying it instead would only increase their revenue.

Isn't everyone oppressed by their culture in one way or another? An essential part of culture is to reward collaborators and punish defectors. One of the unique aspects of some Amish communities is their cultural exit option.

The Amish count on the rumspringa process to inoculate youth against the strong pull of the forbidden by dosing them with the vaccine of a little worldly experience. Their gamble is also based on the notion that there is no firmer adhesive bond to a faith and way of life than a bond freely chosen, in this case chosen after rumspringa and having sampled some of the available alternative ways of living.
