I am hopeful, but skeptical.

All you musicians who can't feel the MIDI 1.0 delay need to play on some accoustical insturments and get what you have been missing. That couple of ms between each note make every chord a rapid appregio, drum hit a flam, and it gets worse as control data (much less sysex!) is added.

While I was hoping for a timing-agnostic standard, what we seem to be getting is not terrible from what I can see. Does anyone have a link to an actual spec sheet or prototype implementation?
Ignorant question: if they spent only ~1/2 their projected capex, how did that happen?

Did they get a bunch of great deals on land/machinery/etc?

Or did they not build all the things they intended at the time they gave that guidance?
Do they not clearly intend to use it for both in the future? They didn't go back and rewrite all existing apps, and they did an experiment with Android to validate the approach.
TCL was a breath of fresh air after I dabbled in mIRC's mishmash of a scripting language. It was so pleasant to write.
I, like many hobbyist gamedevs, have: 1) built fully bespoke games, 2) built my own game engine, 3) built games using low-ish level libraries (like phaser.js), 4) used game engines. I offer this history to show that I too enjoy writing my own code.

But I love Godot. I struggled with it too, at first, but probably around hour 6 of messing around, it all just clicked: Godot is actually a visual abstraction of object oriented programming. You get to write and extend visual classes, then instantiate them in scenes.

Once it clicked, I realized this is exactly what I wanted. An engine that knows how to do physics, 2d, 3d, etc, and gives me very fine grained control over how objects in this universe behave (basically, anything you can code, you can attach to a node).

So based on what you wrote above, I think you would actually like Godot. There is a steep learning cliff, but once you get past that Godot lives at just the right level of abstraction. Doesn't do too much, but does the stuff you shouldn't have to worry about.
That's part of what drove me to write TopShell, which is a notebook-like interface:

* Information only flows downwards.
* Computations are cached.
* Things are automatically recomputed when the values they depend on change.
* Things with effects is instead cleared and awaits confirmation before running.

I'm not asking what Standard ML is, I'm saying this is a bad title that should be curated to make it more useful as the title of a HN submission.
So is scheme quite often. It appears functional looking at idiomatic scheme code relying on tail-recursive programming for loops, it appears procedural/imperative if you look at all the mutation used in scheme code (fun fact: the Scheme standards R*RS do not speak of functions but of procedures). Higher-order functions aren't used all that much in many scheme code bases which is odd from the perspective of a Haskell dev.
It's interesting that Model Y production in China is starting only next year, but I can imagine that first further cost reductions in the manufacturing process must be achieved.
>They’re growing while the market for legacy automakers is shrinking.

Do you have data for this?

Tesla had, essentially zero growth in the US in 2019, which is where it sells half of its cars. There are many companies that had higher growth than that, including Volvo, which grew 10% in the US. LandRover sold 125k units in the US in 2019, which is far more than the Model S + X (its competitors).

So, I'm not sure where you get the idea that everyone else is shrinking while Tesla is growing. Some companies might be, but some are growing faster than Tesla. These are not mysteries; there is data out there.
Standard ML is a well-known language. A title isn't misleading if it refers to that.
I used to be a cross-platform framework skeptic (Disclaimer: I have written a LOT of cross-platform, low-level code over my career).

I am less of a skeptic, nowadays. I think that it makes good business sense for most connected apps. Also, the quality and stability of the frameworks has increased.

It really stinks to spend two years training your team on a framework, only to have said framework suddenly float to the top of the tank, belly-up. React seems to have settled in for a long stay. It's kicked its shoes off, and grabbed the remote.

That said, it won't affect me. I tend to write stuff that controls devices, so my code needs to be pretty "bare bones" native.
Coming from strings, that makes so much sense. Learning some keyed instruments I always found myself attempting to bend/vibrato in that way without thinking.

Matte can be added onto an iPad with a screen protector. My iPad Pro is by far the best quality display I own. It’s definitely smaller than I’d want to be confined to all day, though.

Edit-I wish they’d release an oddly large iPad Pro. I think some interesting use cases might exist in the 24”,30”,higher screen sizes. Not unlike LFD displays.
I think so too, and I think they know that. It sounds like they are "only" planning to ramp US production from the current rate of ~400k total units per year to just over 500k per year. Of course, with China coming online, that still leaves a net increase.

It sounds like they may have backed away from some of the more extreme high end projections for the Y. It looks like worldwide production may double within 1-2 years, though.
Heh. This guy (looks around sheepishly) almost nailed it...

For me the feeling of being a n00b is exciting and scary, but one I sort of constantly run towards because it's the one reliable indicator that I am growing. Further, the more knowledge I acquire only emphasizes how little I know sort of making this my steady state in life. I dig it, it's a reason to get up in the morning.

The more you know, the less you know. In life as we acquire knowledge we leave the darkness and step into the light, fortunately (IMHO), each time we leave that darkness we find a new world, with each world new shadows we will have to emerge from, ad infinitum.

The bounds of which we can know, like our universe is expanding, to not feel like a n00b, is to have stopped learning.
This is a great example, one could almost say the epitome, of what is wrong with modern product design.

Gigawatts of electricity are used to run sophisticated neural nets, advanced data pipelines built to funnel all that data to the mother ship and thousands of dev hours went into this elaborate tracking mechanism. You need that of course, "to improve UX". I do not have a problem with that for such a device, per se. Fair enough, go real overkill on your "user research" then.

And yet, so many UX aspect of a Kindle are just plain bad. Problems which have varying degrees of complexity, to be fair. But some of them are so trivial yet impactful that it is hard to imagine they would escape the attention of a single UX engineer worth his salt looking at a Kindle for two days. Some examples:

* I have a cheap Kindle, which means the lockscreen shows ads. They are so hilariously anti-personalized I can't even. Like, you have all this Big Data and you think I will ever buy a run-of-the-mill cliche romance?

* The recommendation system itself. When you "start out" on your Kindle, your recommendations are literally just every single other book the few authors you read have ever written.

* Having airplane mode off seems to drain the battery massively even if I am not connected to WiFi/Bluetooth nor actively attempting to

* One can view interesting usage statistics, but only if you declare yourself as your own child and activate a password based content lock

* I have to manually flip through sometimes dozens of pages of imprint, one-line-per-page copyright notices and so on until the Kindle realizes I have indeed "read" the book so it stops displaying it at the top at "99% progress"

What I want to say: Do all the Edge AI and IOT and Orwellian Surveillance for all I care. But maybe fix the boring old low hanging fruits first?
Likely an integration with an existing popular UI search library.
It seems though relationship can be considered to have a sign: positive, when people mostly align in their upvote intents, and negative when people do the brigading, etc.

I'd still see ability to determine absolute value of relationship as a valuable property of a recommender

This is another case where Apple didn't invent something, but made the best version of it.

For a device that didn't have a public file system until recently, the iPad's both works and makes sense. It's iPod, mobile phone, Bluetooth headphones all over again, on a feature level.
Oh wow, AndroWish looks amazing! I didn't know about it because it's not on F-Droid. I bet I can run the slide-rule app I wrote in 1997 on my hand computer now!
This is correct. For quite awhile after I ticked that box, and "lost" everything. (I still had all the files, they were just put together in an awkward way. I could use iTunes to create playlists that mimicked my preferences... but that took a lot of time) Once I started using Spotify, it just made sense. Yes there's a ton of overlap in music that I own (some I don't "own" as I had snagged it from the napsters of the day) and what I listen to on Spotify. But, there's also quite a bit more that I never owned... or is brand new to me.
What I do not understand is, what the company performance has anything to do with its stock performance? It's not like they are paying dividends, right?

Totally unrelated markets, it's no different than the crypto coin markets. Even the volatility is similar.

Besides that, Tesla has a rockstar CEO. He can achieve things that conventional companies can't even dream of. If he needs money he can do a publicity stunt and collect the money. It's a cult and the members believe in the cause and the members are quite affluent.
I also had only 2 sites/apps. One I used Facebook oauth, the other I'm not 100% sure what it was.

> Just because you don't know it doesn't mean its hard

I spent a long time learning Haskell and have written enough Clojure especially to safely call myself an expert in it. I obsess over languages (not proud of that btw). FP is hard. It's too hard for most programmers. A lot of people avoid saying this but it's true. It's hard in a way that you can't fix with experience.

That's why the tooling for it sucks. Suppose you want to make an IDE or even an API for your product. Do you want a lot of people to use it? Then you use ${BLUB}. Heavily abstract stuff dies. Look at Tensorflow vs. Pytorch. Tensorflow 1.0 had this wonderful functional, declarative, immutable way of writing neural networks, but people protested because they couldn't mutate variables in a for loop and have it automagically autodifferentiate. Abstraction kills network effects.

> every new language except Go has incorporated significant functional features

None of them come close to the semantics of FP (except Scala, but its negative adoption rate kind of proves my point). They all allow side effects which breaks the first rule.

You can say they stole some of the convenient syntactic sugar from FP, like pattern matching and lambdas (e.g., Kotlin and Rust). Great. So what advantage do FP langs have now? Making it hard to do I/O? Category theory? Having unmaintained compilers?

I don't think it's an excuse, but it is a reality. I'm genuinely shocked that people are surprised by this, and more importantly, seem to think it's restricted to "devices". When you browse the web, almost inevitably, about a dozen different companies are watching your every move.

No... I wouldn't consider $500 in capital losses an

It's interesting to see an organization like RStudio decide to change their status to a public benefit corporation, plus go through the process of becoming a certified B Corp. The nature of a PBC, in having more latitude to consider actions that don't necessarily build shareholder value as their primary concern, certainly seems to line up well with its open-source roots.

I've tended to associate PBCs with companies like Patagonia, Ben and Jerry's, etc.--ones that make physical things, rather make software (which seems more like intellectual property, to a degree? Mostly relevant in terms of material cost of reproduction). I'm curious to see what kind of impact this will have on their operations and direction, and if it might lead to a similar trend with other open-source-based corporations like Gitlab or Elastic.
But that's the point. SEO is not just about putting up big traffic numbers for its own sake. SEO is a means to an end, the end being conversion into something. A sales funnel, an email subscriber list, or a product sale. For that, you need targeted leads. If you write a big piece on Javascript but aren't offering a JS course or upsell of some sort, you'll get a lot of traffic that won't actually convert into anything.

Otherwise, if you're truly writing for passion's sake, then SEO shouldn't be part of the rationale to begin with.
This would be embezzlement, not laundering right? Because you can’t exactly put $20B of dirty money into a sucker fund but you can easily do it with a fund that you control but don’t own (eg a pension fund)
I heard this might be caused by some adblocking extensions - they consider reddit to be an ad/tracking system, so they block all javascript requests to it. Do you happen to have one of those extensions?
The posts on low tech magazine are interesting but I feel that the solar power idea doesn't make much sense. Why are we running an entire OS and device for a single static site? This could easily sit on a data center and use virtually no power and actually no power while its not being requested unlike a rpi that has to sit online constantly waiting for requests.

That sounds like a server design problem, not a client problem. XMPP is stateful, so it is harder to have a distributed server but it's also doing something more complicated than eg. serving a document like HTTP. If you use a server like ejabberd and a proxy layer you can easily do geographic distribution of the server, or at least, with no more difficulty than any other protocol.
I can use my PC for all those things if I really want to; it's just less convenient and less compelling a form factor. Those things are the big reason the iPad sells despite not being a fully-capable PC replacement.
My ISP seems to share your optimism, but I fear it must be grossly overprovisioned, or they have no intention of providing the agreed upon and advertised speeds.

I don't think we give up the night sky for this. naked-eye observers will never notice except close to sunrise and sunset, and even if astronomers are complaining about it now, there are solutions for their issues, either in image processing or with better scheduling (scheduling is straightforward if you have tracking data, so I imagine they're doing both already to some extent). Also, better heavy-lift capabilities will likely make space telescopes easier to manufacture and deploy.

We're going to have a lot of satellites and even space stations (hopefully) in our future, its just the way it is.
OrbAstro – tiny satellites in large flocks
Just letting you know we exist.

We want to do interesting things with flocks of tiny satellites (gently taps side of nose, stealthily). We're building the HW/SW to make this happen, and have just released a few product-lines (check out our website). We think sales of the tech we're developing is a good interim-step.

No one else is really focused on this, yet it will be central in the coming 5-8 years. We could become a major upstream supplier for anyone wanting to do stuff with clusters/constellations/flocks of tiny satellites, whilst also monopolising the downstream markets we want to pursue.

Thoughts?

You are right, of course. It just goes to prove that we are little more than slaves to the system of governments who dictate what is lawful, who usurp their position in order to bestow rights back to us that used to be intrinsically ours to begin with. It doesn't make it right however.
Open circuit. This is one specific behavior we looked out for when testing panels before shipping, after the EL test, lamination, and junction box installation.
Interesting...and looks like I'm wrong. I'd always assumed digital reproductions held copyright.

Sadly I can't edit my comment now to acknowledge my erroneous assumption. zerocrates comment below links to the Bridgeman case which has in fact a section on UK copyright:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridgeman_Art_Library_v._Corel...

Interestingly the RCT "Copyright" page:

https://www.rct.uk/about/policies/copyright

...is fairly specific about restrictions on "Commercial" use of their images, not non-commercial use which by omission in their statement would suggest you're free to do as you wish:

Any commercial use of the images on this website is subject to written permission from Royal Collection Trust and the applicable Licence Terms and Conditions displayed on this site. In particular, but without limitation, no images may be reproduced, communicated to the public, distributed, re-used or extracted from this website for commercial use (including without limitation any storage, reproduction, linking or indexing for the purposes of any search engines) without the prior written consent of Royal Collection Trust.

Whether that would hold up in court, I've no idea.

The National Library of Scotland (a tremendous resource for old maps) has a pretty decent and fairly clear statement on re-use/licensing:

https://maps.nls.uk/copyright.html

Again, Commercial Use of some sources (via third parties such as Ordnance Survey) mentions you need to get permission.
Even Apple's sorting did weird things though. I have an artist folder and then 3 folders underneath that one with the same album. Sometimes I have multiple artist folders. It's just a big mess. I do have an old 300GB drive with an earlier iteration of my music library on it. Sometimes I consider plugging that in and augmenting it. At least the folder structure was more palatable.
Lack of strong-typing isn't something specific to TCL or rare at all. Python and JavaScript are weakly typed too.
I don't follow. What I outlined were fundamental issues with RN, not with Flutter.
It's similar to a 3 and the X. Basically, the question is whether there are a large number of customers not buying Tesla's because an affordable model without 7 seats doesn't exist. From there, you have to question how many people who are currently deciding on 3s would decide to buy Ys.
I signed up for 2 months in late 2018 and later tried to cancel, which was only handled by emailing their support team (no phone number, no cancel button on the website, no way to remove my billing details). I emailed them as instructed, but never got anything more than autoreplies from their ticketing system, and kept re-contacting them over the next 2 weeks, even from a separate email incase it was a problem on my end. They finally replied (once) after 2 weeks, and cancelled my account, but had already re-charged me in the meantime.

Thus, I contacted them again to remove the second charge, and never heard from them again. I had to resort to initiating a chargeback.

I knew they were a dead duck after that experience.
These are both supported by XMPP and are wide spread among servers. They are also supported by Dino.
The extra batteries can be justified because they reduce the load over the entire setup so maybe you could get by with half the batteries but you would be using the batteries twice as much and they would wear out twice as fast.

this. It's still one of the most, if not the most shorted stock. As long as people keep shorting, the squeezes will keep propelling the stock higher, regardless of fundamentals. 1 week ago you might think it's overvalued and the meltup's run its course, but look where it's at AH today.
