I integrate my work systems with SAP. It's not just SAP that's a mess, I think it's a property of ERPs in general.

That's because it's not code for running your business, it's code to write code for running your business. So you have two obvious problems here. First is all the shortcuts made by SAP to get something out the door to customers. Second is all the shortcuts your business used on top of SAP to get things out the door. This is a pattern that can easily create a huge mess. I've experienced this working on a product in a similar space to SAP in the past.

Second thing: I don't find working with SAP too hard. One of the tricks is to work out how to keep SAP as out of scope as possible during the discovery phase using existing functionality or workarounds (that don't impact on sap as the source of truth).

Since "I'm not going to ask my friends if they have Bail installed, and presumably Bail needs to know an event on their side and my side is the same event" was my first thought on reading this concept, calendar integration seems practical.

However, I have an issue right following that idea: I rarely ever send calendar invites to social events. In the example on the site, "Drinks after work", that's an event I cannot possibly imagine sending as a calendar invite for, so it's baffling to me how I could Bail it.
The company in question, Xiongmai, is not owned by Huawei as stated. This is probably a clickbait article trying to link Huawei with some kind of backdoor.

Quickest thing you can do is quit your jobs en masse. At some index level of number of people * avg skill of people quitting, the industry becomes nonviable. Then you state your terms.

Sounds like a union? Also sounds like Galt's Gulch. Weird dovetail, there.

The kicker is that tech workers are in a FAR better position than the other groups that are pushing or considering a general strike. I suppose that makes the prospect more viable, but also more dangerous to the stability of the overall economy. I guess it's up to you if a shake-up now is worth stopping or forestalling the rising waters.
Silicon-Lithium Batteries Will Hit the Market This Year
Haha, this is a hilarious idea. I love it.

Clearly this is to combat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluralistic_ignorance on the two-person level[0] which is utterly reasonable considering the phenomenon is widespread no matter how much people like to talk about their ability to be socially able to handle interactions.

My objection is that it may make it too easy to get what I want momentarily, i.e. I want to place high activation energy constraints on exiting because in the period leading up to the event, there will be many moments where I dip below my threshold of excitement for the event. However, since activation energy to set up the event is high because of natural constraints (I have to make sure everyone is available, that the event is available, that the venue is available), this means that if I lower the threshold to exit, I will bias strongly towards exiting.

Given that, I consciously hard commit myself to events. Post making this choice I have a far more active social life. This is why I won't use your app. It's because it actually does make a thing easy, but I don't want it to be easy.

Love that you used Netlify to knock it out, though. How did you enjoy the experience of developing it?

Not quite, especially since time is such a weird concept when you dig far enough into the math. There are a bunch of competing definitions of a causal change, but arguably the most conventional one is the difference between an outcome if you do one thing versus another.

For example, looking at whether I write this comment now instead of getting back to work after lunch, you could imagine that I'm more inclined to slack off after a heavy meal. We have two hypotheticals. Scenario 1) I eat curry for lunch. Scenario 2) I eat salad for lunch. In scenario 1, I am a bit sleepy and log on to HN and write this. In scenario 2 (hypothetically) I just get right back to work and this comment never exists. The causal effect (hypothetically) is that having curry instead of salad for lunch made this comment exist.

Compare that to the effect of the comment I wrote before lunch. We can still talk about the causal effect of lunch on what I wrote before lunch. Assuming that physics works the way I think it does, the causal effect is that nothing changes, but it's still a thing you can formalize. You could imagine an episode of star trek involving time travel, where my actions today do affect things yesterday. Starfleet statisticians could still run time-reversed randomized trials, they'd just have to be really careful about their experimental designs.

It's not just feeling guilt/anxiety though.

It's that combined with wanting to avoid regular calling/texting/emailing type communication saying you want to cancel, and even then only in situations where the reason for cancelling is trivial enough that the other person actively looking forward to it is good enough grounds to go anyway.

Could easily be significantly less than 1/1000 who feel guilt/anxiety and also don't have the communication skills to deal with it in ways an app like this would help?

Old Men
by Ogden Nash

People expect old men to die,
They do not really mourn old men.
Old men are different. People look
At them with eyes that wonder when...
People watch with unshocked eyes;
But the old men know when an old man dies.

How much slower are encodes vs H.264 or HEVC?

The way some of the comments here are talking about it. It's like it requires a 2 hour encode to encode 1 hour.

For Netflix this is an encode once then just CDN the files. I can't imagine that this would be a significant cost.

Thanks for the comprehensive reply!

I guess I better experiment more with mnesia before really using it for anything serious. Or find alternatives. We had Redis before but that experience turned out just awful so we got rid of it.

As for the community, I think Elixir is where it's at nowadays. There is, unsurprisingly, a very strong focus on webby stuff with Elixir, and a lot of the things you would build with it are just easy. Like a multi-machine chat server.

If I started to build a new distributed chat server today, Elixir would still be the easiest way to go, despite eventually likely not being the most performant solution out there. Discord likewise seems happy with their choice for this particular use case, only supplementing it with the likes of Rust for specific problems in their domain.

I mean you yourself built a lot of the Erlang's/BEAM's logic from the scratch on Go just to be able to use it there. I'm expecting I'd end up in a similar alley with Rust/Haskell/take your pick if I was attacking the problems where Elixir has all the facilities already set up and battle tested.
I would argue that since the CPU is a one time cost but the bandwidth benefit is recurring and not just for the company but for the customers as well especially on mobile the calculation is rather easy.

> There is no clear connection between Huawei and Xiongmai.

If Xiongmai firmware runs on HiSilicon SoCs, there must be some kind of connection, even if just via a third party that paid HiSilicon for the hardware and Xiongmai to write the firmware for it. Unfortunately, the writeup doesn't clearly identify who that could be.

I would argue that Nouveau is bad purely because of poor performance, and the proprietary drivers are tolerable but perform well once you have them working.

One thing I can say for Nouveau over the proprietary drivers is that they actually work without any real fuss. I've run into numerous instances where the proprietary drivers would prevent the system from booting. And I've yet to get them to work at all with any realtime kernel in Manjaro.

And then we get into the nightmare that is any laptop with an integrated Intel GPU and a dedicated Nvidia GPU...

Ask HN: Examples of successful Open Source political projects
For the last 10 years or so I have invested quite a lot of my hobby time into OSS projects (primarily PouchDB) however recently have found myself wanting to invest my time and skills into more directly ethical tech.

More specifically I am interested in contributing to a specific campaign (Scottish Independence) and while I have a fair amount of experience in building OS projects I have very little experience in politics. I have been finding it hard to think of new projects or even find any examples of projects in this space. I have been reaching out to politically minded people that may have ideas or could possible use help but still have found little to go on.

Has anyone else looked to make this jump, seen good crossover projects of OSS and politics, have any advice (or even ideas for projects!)?

Certainly but the problem is that such changes should be announced years in advance.

Adam Ragusea also has a timely video he posted a few days ago on MSG too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-POAKKH5IM

The takeaway I got from it was that the opposition to MSG has a racial component ('Chinese Restaurant Syndrome'), may have been started as a prank (letters to that particular publication often were - they didn't have 4chan back then), and studies showing harm used very unrealistic dosages. Allergy or sensitivity may exist but the chances of it being a poison and literally affecting every human body seems very unlikely.

I also have a bag in my kitchen and came to the same conclusion regarding taste that he did. Adding more does not do much to dishes with that component already (meat, mushroom, etc). But it does change dishes that lack it.
I think it depends on the type of vendor lock-in -- sure, the trade off of having a managed Postgres instance is obvious, but it becomes less obvious to me when you're using things like a proprietary queueing or deployment service.

Writing service API integration code instead of code that interfaces directly with the technology that service is doing makes code quite brittle. If/when the vendor deprecates the service, introduces backwards incompatible changes, or abandons development of the product, you're left on the hook to engineer your way out of that problem. Often times that effort is equal to or greater than the effort of an in-house solution in the first place.

I had the same mentality as you until this happened to the SaaS product I work on for a few different services. Now at very least I try to make sure solutions are cloud agnostic.
After 10 years of spending 100k on average per month, we stopped spending in 2019 and put money into cold calling. Conversions tripled and we could only spend half our yearly budget in our call campaign. Google is expensive and returns now suck even more than they did in 2017.

For those struggling to read this comment, HiSilicon is Huawei.

Xiongmai is well known to do this sort of thing with firmware, at this point I tend to think that they have probably been asked to do this sort of thing.

Any competent person who installs their software on a device knows that they are installing CCP spyware (whether Xiongmai intends it that way or otherwise).

The article title is clickbait though, at least as far as I'm aware. Huawei does not own Xiongmai...

...but they share a common parent company. :^ )

I am not rejecting the author's analysis, but the industry is moving towards cost per conversion. Even marketers for small time ad agencies have gotten savvy and realized that the click is nothing but a proxy.

If anyone winds up using this consistently with friends (which they won't), it's likely they'll just see a continually increasing number of aborted events, due to the removal of a barrier.

It's good that a cancelling party feels some shame. It keeps humans from letting their short-term avoidance always overcome the communal and long-term benefits of some kind of sacrifice.

Linux purposely makes proprietary drivers crap. The kernel offers no stable binary interface so drivers become broken every single time linux updates unless the drivers get compiled as part of the kernel. This forces manufacturers to either decide that they will open source the drivers, not have any at all or put in the work to keep them up to date every release.

It seems like forcing the all or nothing choice made a lot of OEMs open source their drivers or provide none which lead to the community making them.
That... also sounds worse. This is all just advocating for not actually communicating with your friends. That's not friendship, that's transactional hanging-out.
I don’t disagree with anything here at all.
Meatiness.

A friend had MSG in water for a paid taste experiment. Said it was a bit like chicken stock.

It's indeed strange to see the parent comment being downvoted. Especially by people who know what github is.

Current academic journals are harmful for science, the same way as trying to use Roman numerals would be harmful for math. They are outdated means of communication that slows down progress.

Science needs its github, and github could easily become that with very small effort.

>The thing is the article is starting out with the sort of network of semi-causal explanations that aircraft designers have and pointing out that this isn't simple causality, isn't just a line of causal events.

I'd argue that it absolutely is simple causality. Sure we have to flail around in the dark a little to get to a better plane, but they physically test things during development. That's simple causality right there. I guess I'm arguing that engaging in active (not watching someone else do it) trial and error is a case of causal reasoning.

What does “hardware support” mean exactly? Are we talking about general-purpose SIMD instructions? Or do phones have dedicated circuits that do larger parts of the decoding?
Are your cold calling ops in house?
Exactly.

This is why I think hard work and intelligence should be rewarded up to a point, but then after that point all we're rewarding is bad behavior.

Personally, I think a lot of this can be fixed through the tax code - making it steeply progressive so that there's less incentive to engage in shady behavior, but not so progressive that it discourages effort. Finding the balance is key. Today the US (and most of the world) is too balanced in favor or rewarding those who have acquired the most economic power.
