When can I buy the new amd vega 2 without having to purchase a Mac Pro ?
A more problematic issue is likely that it sounds like there are only 34 MAX simulators available worldwide currently.
16:10 was the perfect aspect ratio. I held onto my 24" 1920x1200 Dell Monitor until just last year. I recently tried to upgrade to a new 16:10 and it was impossible. Disappointing.
Sony failed to compete against Apple because they weren't as good at software.
If so, then it clearly doesn't work very well, considering how often this goes wrong.
It's actually quite remarkable to me that I can have such a different experience as a longtime Android device user and both of these experiences can coexist. I could never go back to the iPhone interface, and every time I have to use someone else's phone I'm always astounded at how hidden away the (few) options still available to me seem.
You're making assumptions without all of the information.

WHEN YOU ARE PLAYING ALONG you need to have the timing right. That means if I set the orchestra off, hit play on my metronome, and my beat is half a measure off, we just screwed up, especially when we're doing things like musically-timed parts of the on-stage performance. Or when I hit play on our Silent Movie with original orchestral score made by local musicians nights. Timing goes off, everything feels wrong.

You'd need to be an actual performer to understand this, I suspect.
My iRiver H340 was ahead of its time. It supported MP3 and Ogg Vorbis and had 40 GB, while the iPods of around that time were running around with 4 GB. Oh, and iTunes DRM.

I bought an iPod Classic later on (with 160 GB) to experience the genius usability of the iPod. Except, I didn't experience it.

The major innovation of the iPhone was that it had a capacitive touch UI (which allows finger use, gestures, etc). The iPhone did not have an App Store during release. It was missing a lot of features. It was Nokia who was the market leader around that point. I wish they fully bet on Maemo and capacitive touch instead of Windows Phone (they went the right way with the N9, but the predecessors were still too much on pen and resistive touch, or hybrid).

Right now, it is oddly enough Jolla who have a partly proprietary, partly FOSS, Linux-based OS (SFOS) for which you need a paid license for. After that, they won't track you though. The iPhone would've never sustained a big pie of the smartphone market though; it is Android which killed Nokia. Official SFOS has Android emulation.
Is there any progress on C++ to Rust? I know the whole language is huge, so maybe even a little support could be opening a can of worms.
Even the most pointed to example and seemingly saturated space, social media, had three major players emerge last decade: Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok.
This is an argument that workers are supported. I make no grand economic philosophy claim.
Sure, and you can tie the two together more with higher equity component. But the argument here is that Facebook should pay engineers more because they make a lot of money. My point is, then should a company that doesn’t make as much money (which is most) pay their employees less? Or in the cases of companies that don’t make money, not pay their employees at all?
I advise knowledgeable people to look at the data themselves! Nowadays anyone can browse, download and process open access satellite data (Landsat, Sentinel, Terra, Aqua, Suomi-NPP, etc.) with open source tools (QGIS, Python, etc.). In this specific topic I recommend taking a look at the work of Pierre Marcuse: https://pierre-markuse.net/2018/04/30/visualizing-wildfires-...

Jellyfin: A Free Software Media System
The proposed solution isn’t optimal but it works. Not sure what you think is wrong with it?

An optimal solution would be something like

- create an array of 26 or 52 bytes depending on whether this is case sensitive

- iterate over the string and set the byte corresponding to each letter’s position in the alphabet to 1

- iterate over the byte array and for each 1 you encounter print out the corresponding letter
I just wish they would enable VAAPI video decoding in Linux.
I'm not sure since I've never done it. My guess would be that they just give you new ones, then send the old ones away somewhere to be refurbished and sold as such. This was my experience with iPhones in the early days, actually. Now they actually try to fix them on site if they can.
Indeed. It has literally blown the minds of everyone I have mentioned this to since reading the article.

OTOH my sister thought it would also be a potential way to "prove" you don't even have to make a payment until sometime a year or years later. And she has a very good point: the risk goes both ways. As a consultant, I could theoretically get a customer who changes my invoice to another year and blames some rogue middleman for the error.
That sounds like it's still lacking the life insurance aspect of it: you want it to continue paying out, even if you accidentally live longer than expected.
Here's some of the Apple gear from my family.

OK, knowledge is too poorly defined.

So the answer to TFA's question is "It depends".
So of course Apple bought them.

Wonder how much influence that had on current AirPods.
"I was just curious why people cared about 10-20ms of latency on what I see as "movie on iPad on Plane""

At that latency I can see lips move before I hear audio. Very disconcerting.
Rather the other way around - the MAX can only be flown by the subset of 737 pilots who have had the training. In practice that will mean for Southwest to maintain the efficiencies they achieve through standardization they'll need to ensure all of their pilots receive the additional training.
We're slowly turning into cyborgs. So far, the pieces are removable so the transformation has not truly started except for some people with disabilities. I wonder for how long that will remain true.

I expect to be the odd guy still using over-ear headphones at some point. When everybody just gets implants. Or maybe I'll just join the crowd when my hearing gets worse. Wouldn't want to miss out on music would I?
The RPi (all variants) is more expensive than the readily available AVR boards that you would use to deploy a solution (even if those boards are just Arduino clones which are readily available for at/under $3 delivered to the US).

The genuine Arduinos are expensive. The clones are cheap.
Yeah this line alone also made me do a double take and question everything else he said
hi @meretext, thanks for engaging in this dialog, I appreciate you taking the time. This is really interesting to me. You're clearly smart and passionate about this. And it sounds like you are an evidence-based thinker. It sounds like maybe you've been bombarded with a lot of media but maybe haven't been given very good evidence, does that sound right?

For example, what do you make of this chart shown on the nasa.gov page? It shows the cycles that you're talking about, but then it shows how our situation is incredibly different from any other cycles over thousands of years.
https://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/

So given evidence like that, what is your reaction? (I'm really not trying to convince you or troll you or anything, I'd love to learn more about how you think and what your arguments are). Do you think that the information isn't convincing or that it's a conspiracy? Do you feel certain that human-made climate change isn't real, or are you skeptical but open to the idea?

I'm also open to the idea that climate change is NOT real if I was confronted with compelling evidence. Though, I just haven't seen any so far...

Last question if you'll allow me: Do you think there's a chance that climate change could be a disaster? If so, do you think it's worth doing something about it? Or at least confirming whether or not it is real? Or do you feel convinced that there is nothing to worry about?

Thanks again,
Eric

You supported your statement that scabs should be physically stopped by advocating for violence. I don't see how you get out of this.
This article is manipulative, bordering on malicious.

Its claim boils down to "Data visualization techniques can't be interpreted literally" -- which is obvious -- but is titled and written in such a way to provide ammunition to climate change deniers that "the other side" is being loose with facts, or something.

Absolute and insulting garbage. Whoever wrote this, edited it, approved it for release, and whoever posted it here, should be ashamed.
Remember itunes? UI was horrible from day one and got worse over the years until they killed it. I don't think it was ever a dealbreaker. UI is not the whole story here.
It took me until I was 50+ to not feel guilty about not knowing something. Before that, my answer was not "I don't know", but "let me get back to you". I would then find out and get back to them.

What changed? I think the team got bigger, I got more responsibility, and I just got tired. I'm not the only one who can answer the question. There are other people who know (most) areas better than me, and they can answer the question. And I don't have the energy to be the guy who digs up all the answers. I've got other things I need to do with my time.
> there are Android phones that crush the iPhone on tech specs

This is largely not true anymore. (In fact, in certain areas it would be appropriate to say that it's iPhone doing the "crushing".)
I appreciate the clarity of the BBC maps. Having said that, the entire point of a map is to artificially represent something that cannot be perceived naturally. All maps are a simplification of reality. And a graphically misleading map can be better because it helps people understand the truth. It is like a metaphor or analogy.

That's Apple's point of failure. The rest of the industry (mostly) has worked out how to make a headphone jack water-resistant.

True but you are underselling it a bit. Aurora was seen as far south as Colombia and in Colorado it reportedly was bright enough to wake people up because they thought it was day.

It is assumed that had that occurred today it would have fried the power grid on at least a continental scale.

That's Apple's point of failure. The rest of the industry (mostly) has worked out how to make a headphone jack water-resistant, years before Apple made any phone water-resistant at that.

I worked on a product (a $150000 medical device) where I started out using an Arduino, but eventually replaced it with a ATmega.
Yup, and every person on welfare eats caviar and drives a Cadillac.

The fact that this is your go to story on unions vs. the millions of well-protected and empowered workers across the world is just more evidence of how internalized this propaganda is in the US.
I completely agree with most of your point, but "black-swan events like serial packet thieves" made me laugh. Checking in from San Francisco, where over 50% of the packages that I had delivered to my home (wherein the package delivery area is behind a locked grill-door!) were stolen in the first two weeks after I moved there. I have shipped everything to my work since then.

I think the main conclusion of that thought experiment was that you're better off not watching the news in the first place. No point in trying to see if you could average out bias by watching multiple news sources; you've failed the moment you've started to watch any of them.
He’s saying it should have been named the “Walkman Distance” or some inspiring name that evokes phone and walkman. Not the number that sounds like a container dimension or like the lubricant WD40.
Yes, it is interesting that people tend to believe the one true religion happens to be the one they were born into and raised with.

Just like the USA is #1 and the USA stands for freedom. Everyone is subject to brainwashing by the society they're raised in. Anyone telling you they're a completely independent person is probably fooling themselves. That there's not that much discontent is a nice feature for those who are contented.
They are virtually impossible to repair and the battery becomes shit after a couple of years because they are constantly doing full cycles so yeah, not the best for the environment. Super good for business though.

Food for thought: People can publicly express half-baked thoughts, banal “insights”, hypocritical advice, and horribly wrong predictions for decades without ever admitting their mistakes, and can pretend independence where convenient but unfailingly fall in line with their assigned talking points when directed, but still be treated as worth taking seriously because of their social position.
In my experience, Arduinos are really useful as ATMega328pb boards for beginners.

Once you're used to the development environment, you "take off the training wheels" and start to program in ATMega328pb directly. Or in this case, use an STM32 ARM 480MHz chip.
You are talking about banning 'G', here.

The problem with excessive regulation is that complying with it can be extremely complicated and time consuming. If you don't have the money to pay for that, you either risk being fined or sued, you don't play.

So freaking wild. Never seen this website before. I just learned like 10 new things.
Hacker News is not immune to the vicissitudes of society at large, and there is similar discontent against tech employers in non-game industry as well. There has been both sentiment in support of unionization at large tech megacorps like Google [0], and (non-union-related) sentiment against predatory startups that give misleading promises while forcing employees to assume both greater risk and lesser reward. [1] Not to mention there seems to be less hero worship of founders than there was in the past. [2]

There is a generalized dissatisfaction that the wealth generated by tech is not adequately being reached by its workers. Union advocacy is only a component of it. Tech might pay better than other industries, but its workers are just as affected by costs in housing and healthcare, just as everyone else.

Based on the lively discussion generated in this thread - because it's interesting.
Roland's original A-80 from the 1990s was superior as it supported polyphonic aftertouch (as did a number of keyboards and controllers from that era.)

It is still popular today.

Discrediting single instances of bad union behaviour is an endless game, there's a lot of history to draw from.
So if that software fix relieves you, wouldnt you have to admit that it was the software the was the most direct reason for the crashes?

HN folks here seem hesitant to say this.

But without the dumb ability to do repeated activations it would've been a much less severe problem.
It depends entirely on what configuration of RADAR you've got, and what you're pointing it at. You can build a system that will result in returns with beat frequencies of just about anything, depending on the Tx modulation and the range. The question is whether it will be useful for your application in terms of range/velocity resolution, latency, integration time etc.

Like I said I was just speculating about why OP specifically mentioned 10-100ms. the light does indeed travel pretty quickly (although, as anybody in the radar/lidar industry will tell you, not nearly quickly enough!), however the round trip time is just the minimum latency you have to eat to get any information about your target. Once you have light coming back, you need to integrate for some about of time to achieve your desired SNR. That time could be very small, or it could be infinite if there are no photons coming back. Let's randomly say that you're using a RADAR with a Tx bandwidth situated such that the round trip time is 1us, and that your target range is s.t. the beat frequency of the return is 1kHz. Your job is to estimate that frequency, so you have to observe the waveform (by integrating samples for an FFT, typically) for at least one cycle of the RF wavelength. That would require that you wait 1us for the light to fly, and then wait another 1ms for the RF to cycle once. So your measurement latency is ~1ms. Now that's not 100ms, but perhaps you need more than one cycle to give a good estimate of the frequency, and then even more because the target is faint and there aren't many photons coming back. You could possibly arrive at some much higher number, like 10-100ms.

I'm not sure if that was OP's point, but that's all I'm saying ;-)
I don't know if you came from an extremely privileged background, but I find it ridiculous that your minimum standard of a comfortable living starts at over double the median household income for that area.

Obviously something higher than 26% or zero depending on what you believe happened here....

... and just to be clear, we are only talking about Efail here... There is no pattern of client information leakage issues... So it is hard to generalize.
I personally had not seen the eyeless gene information. While I don't find the outcome surprising, I do find the images breathtaking. It's also very interesting that including the similar (but not identical) gene from the mouse has the same effect of inducing eye growth.

Not if the reader doesn't understand the exact extent to which the map doesn't correspond to the territory.

That only happened on high-end smartphones. Low-end and mid-range still have 3.5 mm socket.

(Also, I actually look around regularly at the train station, and I still see mostly wired headsets. I'm using a wireless one, btw.)
You assumed there was an equation there, but there wasn't from the comment. That one may be blind to one's own inadequacies doesn't mean their calling out other's is true, but IMO taking the high ground that there's a clear better should only be taken from an actually eyes open perspective, and even then that position would be shown with a heck of a lot more empathy. People tend to just take up the moral high ground and trumpet much much better they are and not be productive in improving anything.
Not sure I understand the problem. If I lock fileX and go to lunch, then I own the lock on that file while I’m out to lunch. It’s basically analogous me pushing the file fileX.lock to the repo next to fileX, with my user id as content. I can only do it if it isn’t there.

Everyone else will only see that lock if they fetch and if they don’t, they might edit their local copy of fileX too, but would be prevented from pushing their version to the blessed repository by the lock. They can push a copy under another name, or wait until I have removed the lock (but probably can’t resolve the conflict anyway because it’s likely a binary document). So they user will remember to never start editing without taking the lock in the future.

It’s not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but it’s all anyone asks for in terms of file locking. It’s what Subversion always did.
Yeah, it definitely can be shorter than 100ms. See my sibling comment. It just depends on the type of radar being used and the target range/velocity. Certainly for shortish range targets and mmwave radars on reasonably reflective targets you can get a signal with decent SNR in shorter time frames.
How do I profit from this information?
Apparently in new internet, mouse wheel does not work...
Sounds like you want a magic solution. At least if you don’t want to compromise on anything else such as distortion due to packet loss and power consumption. Bluetooth Audio is not designed for your use case. You’ll just have to deal with that.
That's fine, but you're still a boss and your opinions on unions should be treated as those of a potentially bad actor.

That's just the way it works. I can't trust you to tell me a union is a bad idea. You have too much to gain by saying no.
I bought an iPod in that era, and didn't buy a single DRMed song -- ripped all my CDs, that was more than enough. If you look at iTunes revenue vs iPod sales, most people did what I did. Sony didn't support that. And the smaller companies that pioneered ripping+mp3 players had less-attractive products and interfaces.
