We won't give up the night sky. Starlink won't be very high so majority of satellites will be in the shadow except close to sunrise/sunset.

Starlink satellites are quite small and probably won't be very visible even when deployed. SpaceX is working to reduce "glare" so this will probably be further improved.

Even with a full grid deployed, I doubt you would see more than a dozen satellites at any given time. Someone probably has numbers so please correct me or chip in.

I actually do. I don't use their app, only the website. Their JS files are served from my own webserver so I do know their content. Besides, nothing stops someone super-paranoid to check the JS code upon login before they put their password in.
Seeing that the only apps that make money for either Google or Apple are mostly games with in app purchases, they wouldn’t be appropriate for web apps anyway.

This drug is very effective and very safe with few side effects if not abused.

This drug costs more than $10,000 per year because it is an orphan drug. There's little to no money spent on marketing for this drug. None that I've ever seen and I'm the target market for it. The net margins for the pharmaceutical company that manufacturers the drug is now around 20-25%, but their net margin was very very deep in the red for the first ~6 years that I took the drug. Not sure if they have yet recouped the investment from the 7+ years that they were in the red.

> it would be foolish to spend $100,000 on the better drug - if for that money, you can buy more than a month of life for other people, with another drug, or with surgeries, or better screenings, etc, etc.

It's not foolish if you're the one whose life is bettered by the medicine in question. How my healthcare dollars are spent is my decision, not the government's decision. This is where the arguments for single payer healthcare break down because you're arguing to take away my choices that I've earned by being useful to society. You're not the one paying the price for putting the decision in the hands of a bureaucrat. I and people like me are paying that price.
Yes? I'm guessing you're being sarcastic with your comment, but lists of lists genuinely scale quite well. You can be as meta as you want, and in fact the more meta you get, the easier it becomes to filter out choices for people who are paralyzed by having too many options.

Of course, when you build recommendation engines and lists, you run the risk of filtering out quality offerings. But if the alternative you're proposing is we only have 1 or 2 choices for each type of app, then accidentally filtering out quality offerings is probably not a real concern for you.

Filters, reviews, and lists are great. They're how I select products to buy online, how I get book/movie/game recommendations, how I decide what Linux software to install on my computer. Curated content recommendations are the entire premise behind sites like HN and Reddit. This stuff really does work.
Peer Review Is Science’s Wheel of Misfortune
Yet people flock to cities en masse and in acceleration. The most technically educated/capable flock to even fewer cities, even where connectivity is terrible. Centralization of technology is a reality and what could be more centralizing than a single-interest entity controlling the global satellite network. Starlink is surely a big deal, but of limited applicability.

CDOs and similars are the ideal vehicle for financial fraud. Basically it assumes that certain companies can create pools of loans that have well defined risk, and rewards them for finding as many of these loans as possible. It is clearly in the interest of loan originators to create a high number of loans with lower quality, after all they won't have to keep these loans and are paid only on the origination.

Exactly. Additionally, not everyone wants to take their money to the off ramp. This also creates a conundrum for exchanges. If they punish any user with a descendant of any "dirty" coin, it hurts the market and people's willingness to accept crypto at all. If no one is buying and selling crypto, they have no business.
As a solo/indie developer I love React-Native. Attempting to develop for Android and iOS at the same time is absolutely daunting. Maybe someone out there can do it, but it was simply too much for my brain to handle. But with React-Native I don't have to worry about any of that. I just write code and it doesn't matter what device people happen to be using.
I wish PG would link to his sources.
I don't understand this can't use multiple apps with iPad.

I do cut/paste and drag/drop between multiple apps every day. Can also use USB drives and inter-app file transfer to work on the same document.
As a dev, I tried to use it as my main machine for a bit but it was basically just a thin a client to my VPSes. I am back on my main laptop for any serious dev work.

But iPad has become my favorite toy now. It is one machine that can handle multiple of my hobbies & curiosities like photo editing, painting/drawing, video editing, making music in Garageband, reading PDFs, of course, regular entertainment like movies and music. I also do some writing and calligraphy in Urdu on it.

Sure I can do most of this stuff on a laptop, iMovie and Garageband has way more functionality on computer but iPad's form factor is more conductive to random creativity at the spur of moment. I love picking it up and drawing random things.

As for justification for cost, I think if my iPad Pro 10.5 lasts 4-5 years, then it would be well worth it.
Well it's up to you. Generally you can look for duplicated blocks OR files, for any subset. So you could look at only files over 1 month. Or maybe any file over 2GB you could look for block level deduplication and for anything under 2GB you could look for file level deduplication.

The utilities can be written in any language, there's several popular ones called dupremove, bedup, btrfs-dedupe, bees, and dduper.

Bedup specifically mentions "It integrates deeply with btrfs so that scans are incremental and low-impact."

For my use I'd likely ignore all files less than a few weeks old for deduplication purposes. Any virtual machine images I'd use block level deduplication and everything else I'd use file level deduplication.

Doesn't seem much different overhead wise than the normal scrub that linux software RAID, ZFS, and btrfs does anyways. I'm all for not storing old files twice, but would like to avoid the overhead of checking for deduplication on every write.
Wow that's huge!!
Glad you like it! It is Linux focused. Unlike Drudge, I'm not choosing the articles. The Slashdot feed is the main feed. The Linux-only feed has only about one article per day so it would be too boring. However, it is customizable, so add your own RSS feeds if you think it is missing something. Or send me a URL and I'll think about adding it to the default page.
You can explore running everything in a Linux Container, LXD. Then freeze the LXD if you wish to shutdown, and unfreeze when you're ready to restart, it's how container workloads can be moved from one system to another.
> In the future phones will be more powerful

Single-core performance is largely topping out. The gains are incremental at best.

Mobile SoCs have gone incredibly multi-core incredibly quickly (6-8 cores are common!). Meanwhile the web is incredibly bad at handling that. JavaScript code still has to fight with the GC for CPU time on the single thread they both occupy. WebWorkers are incredibly heavy & limited.

WebAssembly might have threads eventually (it's on their roadmap), but then how long until that happens and will the typical webapp ever even migrate to webasm?

Meanwhile CSS & DOM performance continues to be poor, so webapps are left in this awkward state of needing to re-write part of the browser.

Hardware isn't fixing any of this. It's been almost a decade of hardware not fixing this at this point.

While I agree with the author's sentiment that it hasn't really panned out for professional work, the title is not right. When the iPad came out, I dumped my Apple stock before the quarter where they would report on sales. The stock at the time was heavily forward valued on lots of iPad sales happening. Apple had failed to gain traction with all it's previous ultra-mobile computing products in the past, all of them marketed for productivity. Why would this one be different? Tablets were available in the stores, but they weren't selling. I figured it would be another case of the early adopters getting overly jazzed about a product nobody wanted.

I was wrong. The iPad saw adoption by the everyday consumer. Give it to the kids so they could play games, watch videos and stop bothering mom. Mom liked how simple it was to check her email. Etc. They created an entire new market. THAT, is not a failure.
Quite a lot of artists, writers, video editors use an iPad.

It takes talent to insult them all.
agreed. I mention there that this is simplistic. I may look into the sigmoid shape s-curve once it is time for it. If the site is still interesting to somebody at that time.
AT&T Loses 1.16M Streaming, Pay TV Subs, HBO Max Hits WarnerMedia Earnings
Anecdote: I paid $18 for a single movie ticket (no peripherals) at an AMC not even two months ago. To be fair, the theater was packed so they must have been doing something right, but I couldn't believe the price increase even over the last year in movie ticket prices. I guess AMC's downfall strategy is similar to that of AT&T's.
I've only heard about them (I think from Dr. Rhonda Patric) but I believe that there are studies showing that extreme temperatures in either direction have positive effects.

Docker's build system has been given a huge overhaul and does create a dependency tree. It is highly efficient and even does things like support mounts for caching package downloads, build artifacts, etc.

See https://github.com/moby/buildkit.
You can enable it today with `DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build ...`

There is also buildx which is an experimental tool to replace `docker build` with a new CLI: https://github.com/docker/buildx
Looked up the issue and it was cloud-init, not apt that failed. Here are the details: https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/issues/3678

In one sentence: "Installing the latest aws-cli on an image is preventing new AMIs based on that image from booting due to the above issue with urllib3."

While this specific issue wouldn't affect docker images since you normally don't run cloud-init on them, it's just luck that it wasn't some other utility affected instead. Next time it can affect docker images too.

The only thing stopping me from using Tcl/Tk for literally every desktop application I write is the lack of a good web view (which is unfortunately a hard requirement for a lot of projects nowadays). If I can find (or develop) a WebKit or WebEngine or Gecko or Servo or whatever widget for Tk that actually works reasonably well, then I'd drop Python and Qt5 for that niche in a heartbeat.
"This is useful for legitimate reasons" is an entirely different argument than "industry standard practice", which is just marketing speak for "everyone does it". The first is valid, the second is not.
I think it's a good way of finding and demonstrating the real-life gotchas of sustainable energy. For example, I don't think most people have a good understanding of the cost-benefit calculations that go into how much renewable energy production capacity we can build while keeping to co2 emission targets, given that new capacity needs to be built with the current energy setup. The "embodied energy" aspect of this article illustrates that.

After 70 years of research, LWRs are still the only reactor type that has ever been anywhere near economically viable. Many other approaches, such as Thorium pebble-bed reactors and sodium-cooled fast breeders have been tried and abandoned. It is simply unrealistic that all the issues that have plagued these designs will magically disappear with new ones.
React is also controlled by Facebook, and yet is one of the most popular Javascript frameworks. I don't see how React Native would be any different.
Why do you have cloud-init in a container?
Not OP, but I've tried all of the big SPA frameworks (not specifically react native though) and I decided to use flutter for a non-trivial side project and I don't ever want to touch the big SPA frameworks ever again. Flutter is also fast, pretty lightweight, and good on battery. It feels native on iOS and Android. I have little Android development experience (side project years ago) and no iOS experience.

It's easy to setup, install, and it just works. I develop on Windows and Mac with a .NET Core backend and communicating via GRPC. Deploying the backend to a CentOS server. No issues running anything on Windows, Mac, or Linux, surprisingly. Whenever I have to use node, everything randomly breaks when switching environments. (Maybe I'm just bad with node/webpack and all that, but there is way too much I have to know to just build something).

The README says the following are supported "SSL-VPN, OpenVPN, IPsec, L2TP, MS-SSTP, L2TPv3 and EtherIP by the single SoftEther VPN Server program." Looking at the documentation for client setup it looks like you just setup an IPSEC client.
Ex-Amazon employee from a while back (to which I only speak on behalf of my own feelings and imply no other intent...). IIRC this was driven from a analytics standpoint, wasn't actually really used outside of bug deep dives, and was horrible to implement.

Most financial risk can't be reduced, only shifted around between parties. The problem with defined benefit pension plans is what happens when the sponsoring entity goes bankrupt and can no longer pay? It's just too risky and the existence of the PBGC actually exacerbates that risk, creating a huge moral hazard at taxpayer expense.

And as for a market crash two years into retirement, only an idiot would be in volatile assets at that stage. The default investment option for most defined contribution plans is a target date fund, which protects against that scenario.

> they deal with tremendous leverage without proper transparency

At least immediately post crisis, these products were super transparent. You have all the underlying loans and their docs in the closing package. Everyone knows who the ultimate borrower is, and how a dollar traces from them to their point in the chain.

As long as these assets are held outside the payments system, the contagion risk is contained. The problem happens when the public doubts the solvency of a payment processor.
Many people approach the iPad in the same way people approached the cloud a few years ago. They try to treat it like the older technology it’s meant to replace, and when it doesn’t work the same they will proclaim “it’s not the cloud it’s just someone else’s data center!”

It took a cloud native approach to really get the real benefit from the cloud. It takes an iPad native approach to benefit from the iPad.

I'm glad you think it's worth it. I'm not as sure, personally. Especially since your examples don't hold water with me.

Oppressive governments that don't like the internet aren't going to just allow the transceivers. They need line of sight to the sky and even if you hide them, detecting them would be trivial. Super rural areas and 3rd world areas have their own set of problems. I'm thinking of the OLPC type issues here. I'm all for spreading knowledge, but these areas have far bigger issues than internet access.

Personally, I view this as just another bulldozing a place of nature to build a hospital or something like that. Is that hospital useful? Undoubtedly. Is it worth having one less place of nature? Debatable.

The only difference is scale. We're talking about the destruction of a place of nature for the entire world. Over dramatized? I don't think so- there are many examples of people talking about looking up at the stars in wonderment, driving them to great things. Maybe that will still happen when there are thousands of satellites streaming by, but nobody has that foresight.
> It doesn't have pedal velocity or position (often the damper pedal is held at some in between position)

It does have pedal position. Pedal data is transmitted as a control change message (e.g. CC#64 for damper) with a 7-bit data value. Many recent digital pianos support half-pedalling including transmitting and receiving the pedal position via MIDI.
Thank you for clarifying that. I didn't realize this was possible.
