It's called "IPhone SE" but does that mean it's the same height and width as the previous SE??

That's the key thing about the SE and before it the 5S-- something that can be operated with one hand and that can fit in a pocket.

It's clear from the photo that it doesn't have a camera optic that's flush with the back, nor does it have that cool pseudo 1960's Philips-like metal case with flat beveled sides.

He doesn't seem to have many biomedical or pharmaceutical qualifications for pronouncing on what treatments may or may not work?

Edit: Apparently he has a PhD in neurotoxicty (specifically "Acrylamide neurotoxicity: effect on neuronal growth cones and axonal fast transport") which does bolster his credentials.
Life and death during the Great Depression
I don't think Nix works for a lot of organizations as a package manager. It works for a lot of individuals for a different use case (NixOS). If you're mostly installing existing packages from nixpkgs onto a NixOS box, that probably works very well--users don't need to know much about the expression language or the nature of their dependency tree. If you're using it as a development tool, users are going to need to intimately understand Nix, its expression language, and their entire dependency tree. Further, how well Nix works for your development use case largely depends on which language you're using, how well that language is supported by Nix (is it compiled or interpreted, does nixpkgs have good coverage for your language's ecosystem, etc). Notably, working with Haskell or Go in Nix is probably quite easy, while working with Python is quite hard.

As an example, I recall trying to build a package for psycopg2 (it wasn't in nixpkgs at the time, and even if it were, for one reason or another we couldn't directly use many packages from nixpkgs), the most popular Python library for interacting with a Postgres database; however, that required me to write packages for a bunch of C libraries that I didn't understand at all, including fishing random header files out of the Postgres source code. No one in our organization including our Nix veterans could figure out how to build it correctly, and it ultimately caused us to move away from Nix (it was among the last straws).

Besides, just because it didn't work for us doesn't imply that there's a problem with our personnel (by several industry key metrics, our devops capability is excellent), but rather that the effort required to implement Nix successfully was greater than the work required to use other tooling. We could use C++ instead of Python for our organization, but just because we don't doesn't imply that our organization is incompetent; rather that Python's tradeoffs are more appropriate for our problems. In effect, Nix creates more problems than it solves for us, which is unfortunate because the problems it solves are really important problems, and many of the problems it creates are utterly unnecessary (add docstrings, use a more familiar expression language--maybe Starlark [https://go.starlark.net], provide and document 'escape hatches' so users can use system dependencies where it's prohibitively difficult to hermetically package things, etc).
The 'NIKKOR Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct' is Nikon's answer to that, and yeah, it is difficult to nail focus when you have a depth of field for close subjects that's in fractions of millimeters!

The top answer also mentions this. Yours is currently second-top.

I hope developers get the message.

I'm SO tired of trying to navigate around the mountains of pure garbage every time I want to work on a new project.

I long for the days when adding new functionality to your project was as easy as including a single external file, and when code repositories didn't automatically come with ten different utterly useless metadata files.
Hi, I'm the founder of Terrament. We're building low-cost, high-scale energy storage to enable our power grid's transition to renewable energy.

You'd think there'd be an opportunity for a disruptive newcomer here, but I guess there are enormous barriers to entry on both sides. Perhaps the watershed will be when one of the major camera manufacturers offers a device with good optics that is also capable of running user-installed software, whether that device is a conventional form-factor camera, or perhaps a sensor/optics-only box that works in conjunction with a phone.

EDIT: Nevermind, it looks like this has happened— Sony released some lens-only cameras in 2013 and it doesn't seem like too much has come of it: https://lifehacker.com/how-to-use-your-smartphone-to-get-bet...
Same here. I'd got an iPhone 7 with 128GB for only $100 used, on Craigslist. I only buy used phones now, and I never spend more than $200. The market is always saturated with used phones, and they work fine.

I bought two Sony a7ii cameras and a flash for only $1400, because they were used. Full price new, it would've been 3600. They work great, and I can use my money on other things. I see very few reasons to buy new electronics, especially given the security of an iPhone and how easily they are reset.

I don't know about that. I agree they're roughly equivalent in some respects, but elisp is way nicer than vimscript, which is horrifying. Honestly elisp being nicer than vimscript is the primary reason I switched from vim to evil-mode/emacs.
> Poverty is relative, not absolute

That's.... just not true, and I feel like you don't really know what poverty is if you say that. Poverty is not just definitionally being in some lower percentile. Poverty is misery because you don't have financial power to meet your basic needs, or have to sacrifice all your time and comfort to do so. There's nothing relative about going hungry, living in bad housing with heat that doesn't work, working 2 jobs and sleeping 4 hours a night, etc.
GNU Guix 1.1.0 was released just hours ago, so now is a good time to try it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22877788 :-)

Rumor has it that Guix will be included in a future Debian release too. It is already available in Arch, Gentoo, and OpenSUSE.

Yeah, I priced out the 256GB model and saw that it was $299, if I were to trade in my 8+. I reflexively assumed the store had an error and reloaded the page. Can't remember the last time I've seen a new Apple device priced at <$300 (iPod nano?)
I've made a few rules for myself regarding working in tech:

1. Do not work for a company where tech is not their primary product. If you are only a cost center, you will be treated like a second-class citizen.

2. Work for a smaller company. Your work is so much more impactful when you are not part of a mega-machine.

3. Work only remotely. The quality of life increase that comes with working remotely is massive, and I am not willing to give that up.

Of course this is not always going to be realistic. For one, working for a company that sells tech does not mean that you will be treated well, but it is more likely. Smaller companies, and remote only tend to pay a bit less (and definitely less than a FAANG), but still more than plenty to live a great life.

Who knows where life will lead me, but I will try to stick to these points.
Mortality actually fell during the Great Depression.

Counter to the talking points that a recession would cause more deaths than the pandemic.
Apple is referring to the 6/6S/7/8 case. It is indeed extremely popular.

Check out these stats from a year ago. On this app (which has a broad appeal), the 6/6S/7/8 had a 47% share. iPhone 5s/SE had 11%

The old SE form factor is great! And those who like it, like it a lot. But you're clearly wrong if you take that to mean that the new SE form factor is an unpopular one.

Carve out can mean spin off, but it can also mean exception, including an exception to a law that lets a company operate. That's how I interpreted the parent.
Got sick of dealing with assholes. One weekend, a director said that we all had to come in to finish the last features for a Monday launch, so we all came in ten hours both days and finished the parts necessary for the feature. He never showed up in the office. Monday rolls around and we find out that he knew on Thursday that the launch wasn't going to happen.

I had been at the company for over a decade, and had gotten quite lucky in the RSU lottery & thought, wait, I have enough money to last forever, so why do I do this to myself?

My health was bad, I was overweight, smoked, was depressed. I felt like it was going to kill me if I stayed another decade.

So I quit. In the years since, I stopped smoking, lost 1/3 my bodyweight & really got my shit together. I dink around on personal projects and learn new things. I follow HN because I'm genuinely interested in tech & now I can pursue what things I want, rather than those I need for $JOB or $NEXT_JOB.

I miss the good people I used to work with, but this is almost completely offset by how much I don't miss the assholes and the hassles (annual review, recruiting, meetings, explaining basic math to MBAs, etc).

That's basically what the doctor said, though. I personally doubt those slow it down very much. I also think the science is still so poorly understood that certain supplements or foods could potentially even worsen things. (Just to throw out a totally made up scenario, maybe some compound found in some plant, and its metabolites, cause a small increase in monoamine release. This may be perceived as a mild stimulating effect in healthy people, but could hypothetically potentially speed up some feedback loop which leads to faster neuron death in people with certain neurodegenerative diseases.)

Exercise and healthy eating is probably still a good idea, but basically it just seems like hoping for the best without real knowledge of what may or may not be helping or hurting.
Feel like this should be a 'SHOW HN:' instead of a story, but I digress. I do like the usage of the BAT from Brave, that hopefully takes care of some things. A question that has popped up for me is "can a user create their own newsletter?" sort of like subscribing to a specific users user submissions. I'm not the biggest fan of calling playlists _'mixtapes'_ because even though the definition has evolved _'a la chance the rappers "mixtape"'_ . There isn't a need to have a playlist on every streaming service but please mirror it across the most popular at least (Apple Music, Tidal).

I do have the same opinion about r/HHH, it used to be great for discussions, but now as I've grown the opinions and discussions there seem to feel more juvenile and memey. I still frequent worldstar to look for new artists sometimes.
Not everyone has the necessity or ability to carry around a laptop with them everywhere. The convenience of a 6.5"+ screen is great if you are away from a laptop.
Personally I'm witholding judgment until the results of the PATCH trial (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04329923) arrive, as it'll finally give us some decent statistical power, and be a full, double-blind RCT. It also has multiple study arms (health-care worker prophylaxis, home-quarantined early stage, hospitalized later-stage), so if it turns out that HCQ is effective but that by the time patients are hospitalized it's too late, as some are now suggesting, we should finally know with some degree of certainty.
I'd say that the availability of eSIM is a pro as well, although that just seems like a catch-up to most modern smartphones now.
I think I'd mentally adjust to the improved quality as the "new normal" pretty quickly and not get much out of it thereafter, leaving only the frustration when I couldn't have my audiophile quality. Seems like there's very little upside in it for me personally. I don't doubt that some people can genuinely sustain additional enjoyment out of it though.

Great question. Lots of history on this topic, here is an interesting overview in regards to the Lisbon Earthquake[1]:

Praise the Lord,
I found https://in4k.github.io/wiki/win32 to have useful links. Particularly Compofiller studio is quite easy to get started with and rather well done. To make a final compressed executable takes a couple of steps, where you have to switch the mode and minify the shader code which is on the Compofiller UI before creating the executable. If you can do some coding on shadertoy.com it is rather easy to transfer to a production here.

For the music, a suggestion would be to download the free version of renoise.com which is full featured and works fine for making demos. It is a good piece of software and worth the amount they ask for the full version if you can do it too i think. And then download the http://4klang.untergrund.net/ 4klang vst and use it with Renoise. You set up multiple instruments that link to the same instance of the VST instead of multiple instances of the VST and use different channels for each instrument (basically use the version that shows up top after you create one instance) and you can start by loading one of the preset patches included with 4klang. You record the songs in the 4klang vst and then put the generated files in the compofiller studio project directory and once it recompiles it has your new song.

I played around with this for the release i helped make for revision 2020 ( https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=85364 glsl source included ) Glory to Jesus, After this you can go lower level with the other 4k tutorials learning how to integrate with other assemblers or perhaps C++ compilers including Visual Studio community edition. It is possible to make even 4ks in C. If you want to get started in assembler i would recommend starting with the 256byte intros in a freedos installation. While I included source code in a 256byte that was presented at revision, i would start out with other tutorials.

Start out by researching some basic instructions to be able to set memory in a loop to a pointer in es:di. The basic instructions to set memory and registers, increment, compare, jump. Look a little bit into interrupts to be able to detect a keypress, or set graphics mode with 256 colors.

So for a freedos program you can do this with "mov ax, 13h; int 10h;" at the beginning of the program, set a label for the frame_loop_aleluya, then a label for the pixel_loop_aleluya (praising God in my code makes it more enjoyable) write to 0xA0000 for 320*200 bytes in the pixel_loop then detecting if a keypress has been made with "mov ah, 1;int 16h;jz frame_loop_aleluya" and then back to text mode "mov ax, 3h; int 10h" at the end of your program with ret. You can play around with that to make your first own little asm intro. Compile it with nasm to a .com. This is included in freedos.There is a little more boilerplate that goes into a .com as well, put "BITS 16; org 100h; section .text;" and a start: label . This works if you have no memory variables of your own, which is fine for a first step.

Sorry, this is my first hacker news comment so i will see how this looks and make corrections if needed, and post a small full sample program as a reply. God guide us and bless you in Jesus name
My reading is that either restrictions were sufficient before, or the new ones won't be enough either. And the more onerous the restrictions, the less likely it is that people will be willing to follow the important ones in the future.
They already made that calculation and decided to roll the dice.

I haven't checked the context, but that indicates a flaw in either their framework or the way they draw this conclusion. We know for a provable fact that some problems (not necessarily interesting or useful ones) can be solved exponentially faster on a quantum computer than a classical computer: Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm (or it's generalization: Simon's algorithm) demonstrates this.
This is a horrifying abuse of a filesystem, and I love it.

I'd recommend Thriving System Theory by Leslie J. Waguespack that integrates Alexander's Ideas across the development of systems. - https://amzn.to/3bdoSxA

I also wrote a book where I took a number of Alexander's ideas and applied them to creating a crypto based economic system. - https://amzn.to/2RGhfIf - Probably not interesting unless you are really into crypto or really into pattern languages.

I was in Berkeley a couple of years ago and went on a bit of a pilgrimage up the hill to find some of the house that he designed. I ended up running into some of his family and felt like an ass for invading their privacy(I had no idea they still lived in one of the houses), but was able to speak with one of his daughters and he was apparently not doing so well back then. Every time I see his stuff come up on here I worry that it is bad news.

You are right.

I just wanted to add that the star wars brand isn't doing well because of a decrease in quality and an alienation of previous fans. This has been mishandled nearly ever step.

1. In the cartoons (Rebels) there was such a push for kid friendly that the storytelling suffered
2. In the new trilogy and the solo movie there was such a push for nostalgia that they felt like high budget fan fics.
3. The games division going exclusive with EA, one of the most hated games publishers who pushed so hard for micro transactions that the brand was tarnished such that even when the game was mostly fixed it still suffers from it's already established reputation (Battlefront 2). They have also cancelled most story driven games as those are harder to monetize, it's amazing that fallen order was actually released and did well enough that it shocked EA's board.

They still have some competent people (like Jon Favreau) which is how we got things like the Mandelorian, but those are more flukes than norms due to mismanagement.

I expect on further digging we would find similar mismanagement with their other brands as well. I imagine some pockets of passionate and talented people creating great things despite their management rather than because of it.
I have never owned a car with cruise control.
If anyone ever manages to produce a phone with zero ports on it, then I'll evaluate that phone on its own merits. I'm not going spend hundreds (thousands?) of dollars on a phone that's worse just because it might encourage the manufacturer to design one that might be better in the future.
I've been using Seagate's Exos enterprise line for video processing and am very impressed with the performance. I get sustained 230MB/s write over terabytes, and while it's supposed to be slightly louder, I can't hear any difference with the case closed.

Compared to their high end consumer IronWolf Pro/NAS series they have better tech, no RAID drive limit, higher rated workload, and longer estimated MTBF. Looks even better now with the 14TB Ironwolf at $460 and the 14TB Exos at $340 on Amazon.
Why is the color called PRODUCT(RED)? What next, "White Pro" as a color?
It was observed that between 7% and 28% of hospitalized have acute myocardial injury [1-4]. When one looks at Epocrates (database for drugs which is why I'm not linking anything here) the severe adverse reactions of hydroxycholoroquine include QT prolongation, cardiomyopathy, and torsade de pointes. Just to define some things here, QT prolongation is the time from your Q wave to your T wave, or the start of an electrical depolarization on your cardiac ventricles to repolarizations. QT elongation usually leads to cardiac arrest. Torsade de pointes is a syndrome where your cardiac ventricles beat so quickly that your heart paradoxically cannot fill up with blood potentially, and usually, leading to sudden cardiac death.

Giving someone who has had essentially a heart attack (by definition COVID patients have elevated troponin which is the marker we use to assess if one has had a heart attack) is probably a bad idea so my question is: why would we celebrate a drug that has massive cardiac adverse effects as a side effect? Don't get me wrong I understand that there are drugs that are even worse. Cyclosporine is the first line immunosuppresant for kidney transplant. Do you know what one of the most common adverse effects of cyclosporine is? Kidney failure. But we don't know what is causing the kidney failure in a kidney transplant (rejection vs adverse effect) so we have to biopsy. Kidney biopsy is a very invasive procedure, FYI. My point is, maybe waiting for double blind placebo research here is the best case. Also, I made this exact same point on here a month ago and people told that they would take my dose if it came to that and at this point I will say go ahead.
