Difference of Web-Page and a Mobile-App?
There is a common confusion that the mobile apps and the web pages are same thing but actually they both are very different.

They are not only different for users but those also developed and deployed differently, so it is very important to not to get the both so confused.

It can be useful to distinguish between web apps and web sites. Simply put, web app is a website that designed fluidly, responding to being view on the smart phone. There are many different types of websites out there, some of them are static and rarely updated, while others are responsive and have a great deal of interactivity. Web-apps, specifically, function like downloadable apps.

But actually What is the difference between the mobile app and a web page?

The parent comment said "Electric cars are nowhere near an affordable means of transportation right now". The absolute niceness of an A6 doesn't seem directly relevant to that. Model 3s are expensive to buy for a mid size sedan. I was wondering about the TCO. I found an A5, M3 and Camry TCO comparison (link below): M3 comes out similar to Camry, and way less than A5. I think the M3 is a much more fun car to drive than the Camry. I haven't driven an A5.

Chess is one of the few fields where dominance can easily stretch into several decades - if you're a young prodigy you may breach into top level in your teenage years and last well until your 50s or 60s. Of course you won't be #1 this whole time (check out Lasker's longevity though) but you will always remain a top contender.
Another medical student here, also with a very similar ML/programming background. Like the other commenter, I couldn't agree more with your analysis of the main issues plaguing current DL applications in medicine. When I was working on deep learning projects as a undergrad before coming to medical school, I naively assumed that solving a simple image classification problem for cancer detection would be enough. However, as one learns in medical school, imaging is only one component of an entire clinical vignette. Even before a patient undergoes a specific test, the history and physical exam really drive the initial protocols. Sometimes, without having this background knowledge, the classification from a simple program has no utility. A radiologist or pathologist typically has access to this information and can interpret this in the context of the clinical suspicion being put forth. I still believe AI has a role to play in easing this workflow, but "replacing" physicians will take a lot more than detecting some disease "better" or more "accurately" than a physician.

Yep. I was skeptical about if they were beatable initially.

> Markets were illiquid.

Not always true. This varies a lot between markets. If you look at the Democratic nominee markets, you can buy as many shares you like.

> $850 limit

This is per bracket. So you can max No on several candidates in a market if you want, and PI also refunds the amount that is impossible to lose since only one can resolve as Yes. There are also a lot of correlated markets that are effectively the same bet. You can bet on Biden being the nominee at least 4 different ways if you want.

> Bets can take a long time to settle.

You can sell at any point in time. No need to wait. There are long and short term markets.

If there was something 50% that was 90%, I'd have no problem taking that bet. But it's something like a 2020 election you can always wait until closer to the election. Though some markets appreciate during that span of time.

Don’t underestimate the value of domain specific knowledge and the costs of lacking it. Just because you know how to count cards doesn’t mean you know how to deal cards, how to run a casino, or most importantly, how to avoid getting caught.
The main problem is affordances. In old days, users were expected to be new bees and needed to be get productive fast. So menus explicitly featured keyboard shortcuts, apps had status bar telling you what was happening, there were even main menus that told you everything you can do with app.

Then UX designers thought they should be clever and make this a game for user so they eventually figure out how to do X. Some such initial games produced "aha!" moments and UX folks took that as signal for doubling down in the name of minimalism. Now apps rarely have menus or status bars or even toolbars. Users are expected to struggle a bit to get their "aha!" moment. Sometime even critical functionality is kept hidden under weird actions like triple-finger squeeze. It's horrible for users but apparently UX guys think they are doing cool shit.

Today I was using Win 10 in a VM and wanted to put a shortcut in the startup folder. Used to right-click on the start button. Doesn’t work any more. Can’t right click on menu icons either, needed to change one shortcut to minimized, can’t be done. Those were a few of the tiny GUI features that made Windows superior to every floss desktop, gone.

After ten mins of googling I find that you have to open a separate Explorer window and type the secret “shell:startup” into the address line to get there now.

Show HN: Contagion Simulation
A collection of bash/linux scripts that use sshd on termux on my Android phone to wirelessly copy photos to ~/Pictures on my laptop, automatically make small versions of the photos for emailing etc and placing those in their own directory.

At the end, it pulls its own plug. After unmounting the phone, it sends "pkill sshd" over ssh, to terminate the phone's sshd server.

I use sshfs so that copying from phone to laptop is from mounted directory to local directory. Connection is like so:

# Mount the phone's DCIM ancestor directory locally over ssh.
# mg4: is an ssh host in ~/.ssh/config
sshfs mg4:/storage/emulated/0/ ~/mnt/mg4

One more anecdote. I found this screen for the first time when I got my laptop to demonstrate something to a student. I didn't know what to do, started to do random things, trying to figure out what happened, and the student interrupted my attempts, got mouse from my hand and swiped with it.

> plus 20% for the "correctly manage memory"

Sorry. "correctly manage memory" in C is not 20% more problematic, it's like dividing by 0, infinity% more problematic.

Nobody has gotten it right. Ever. Nobody.

The Mozilla team switched from C to C++ trying to get memory right. Failed. Then they tried GC. Failed. Then they tried to go back to manual. Sill failed.

So they wrote their own language to solve the problem--Rust.

Jury is still out, but the situation is a lot better than when Mozilla started.

I bought 2 bottles of hand sanitizer and 2 reusable n95 facemask and some filters in mid January.

I didn't think I'd need it - I thought it'd end up like SARS or h1n1. But it cost me $30 or something and I can afford to lose that so why not.

I bought some Bitcoin fairly early. I thought it was stupid but there was a small chance I was wrong.

The UN and the LoN have exactly the same set of fundamental problems. Neither of those organisations had the power to do anything at all. If they don’t have the power to enforce their decisions, then they’re useless, if they do have the power to enforce their decisions, then national sovereignty ceases to exist. Which is why the UN or any organisation that succeeds it will always be irrelevant. How exactly do you think war has occurred in the post WWII world? Only in one of two ways. Either the instigator doesn’t care what the UN thinks, so they start their war, or they have to be seen to care what the UN thinks, so they ask first, the UN says no, and they start their war anyway. The security council is supposedly a mechanism for checks and balances, but all it really does it make sure that somebody is going to have an interest in vetoing any significant decision. Further cementing it’s irrelevance. The UN has demonstrably failed to prevent even a single war or genocide since its inception, yet it continues to exist. On what basis do you think failing to prevent war is eventually going to lead to its demise? The primary function the UN serves is as a forum for its 193 member states to each pitch a soapbox. It has never been a place that countries rely on to resolve disputes. The only real existential threat it faces is if the tax payers in those 193 countries get sick of paying for it.

I am quite surprised by your message. This is HN and even before or outside of that, for years I have myself dived into totally random projects simply because "why not?".

Hi! Author here, thanks for the interest.

Your example will just work! The only thing to worry about when using `while (true)` with async generator components, is that Crank will continuously pull values from the generator even if the renderer or a parent isn’t updating it, so if you forget to await something you’ll end up entering an infinite loop (which starves the microtask queue so it’s even worse than regular infinite loops).

> How does it stop/unmount?
Generators have this nifty feature where you can stop or `return` it from the outside. What this does is it resumes your generator at the most recent yield, but rather than continuing execution, it “returns” the generator at the point of execution. In other words, it’s almost like it turns your yield into a return statement. This is what breaks out of the `while (true)` and prevents your code from continuing to run when unmounted. The cool thing is that you can also then wrap the loop in a try/finally block, and execute some extra code when the generator is unmounted.

If you have further questions let me know!

>I'm optimistic for them - cutting your trip time in half is certainly something to brag about.

I wonder how the economics works out. We know consumers are willing to give up a lot of things for cheaper tickets. And for that market it is now a volume business.

Business Expenses and trip could certainly paid for super fast airline. But this could cut out business trips revenue from normal operation, so it means flight price would have to go up to compensate for the loss of business class?

> The ability to choose your own UI is an important strength of Unix, and one which distinguishes it from macOS and Windows.

It's a strength as well as a curse for Linux distros not limited to just Ubuntu since the developer of a GUI program must test if their app works on your unique setup, if it doesn't run on one distro or your specific configuration out of the box, then that is already a usability issue.

The Linux ecosystem doesn't have any guarantees for the app developer whether if a KDE, GNOME or Xfce built application will consistently work on your setup if the user changes the DE, display manager, etc so it is harder for the app developer to support accessibility features in whatever DE the user uses and its harder for them to track the source of the issue. This could be anywhere in the Linux Desktop stack.

The inability to "choose your on UI" on Windows and macOS guarantees that GUI programs will be consistent with the accessibility and look and feel features in the OS which makes it easier for app developers to test on one type of desktop OS, rather than X * Y * Z configurations of one Linux distro.
Before reading your reply to OP's comment I got to thinking about how the super-resolution process and flash photography might interact (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22905317). I get the impression you left the point I got to a long time ago :)
I don't think that Le Monde illustration looks quite like the other pictures. That is to say I can imagine someone making some crudely drawn approximation of the other pictures and then getting them to snap into place as required but the Le Monde has details I think would need more than snapping.

The core algo is basically like a vocoder (I think), tracking certain frequencies, and as others pointed out might be very very similar to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant-Q_transform (I guess another question is how to implement this effectively in "real-time").

About the question of "assuming there is only one frequency within each band" -- yes, it's a problem, and that's what's causing the "frequency leakage" that you see in the app with the "high-precision: off" (and FFT). To solve this, I've added some extra math on top, which is available via "high-precision: on" in the app. I will release more details when I open source the algo. Please subscribe to email list if you want to receive an update, I am not super active on social media otherwise :).
Actually the floppy disk made perfect sense when I first saw it: "we're going to do something involving the floppy disk, and there's a put-onto arrow superimposed over it" (the load-file icon had a take-off-of arrow). It makes less sense now, but only because computer storage no longer has a single, iconic (heh) form factor.

ZXCV is positional, [C]opy having a nice mnemonic is more of a happy coincidence than a design decision in it's own right.
epidemiologists aren't experts at THIS, wtf are they experts in?

They are experts, but aren't used to rapid analysis with incomplete data.

The very early data (early-mid January) was very unclear. This is completely normal with a new disease (just look at how the US has to rely on newspapers and universities for national reporting numbers!)

But epidemiologists are reluctant to guess when we weren't even sure about the transmission mechanism, how infectious it is, incubation times, or even hospitalisation numbers (don't forget it's a respiratory disease and there was no test available until well into January)

(Not an epidemiologist, but I've had papers published by the CDC on epidemiology)
This appears to be some kind of speed chess, not chess.
I can, in fact, invert the transform that I've implemented as well without noticeable quality change (need to preserve the phases for that of course).
Whenever these discussions come up, I don't know how much of this response is just confusing familiarity with usability. I kid you not, I knew people who bemoaned python because of tab spacing and this wasn't 2003, this was may be a few years ago (2016 or so), which I'd argue is just being unfamiliar with it. C isn't really that intuitive--I still remember learning it at 14 and finding the syntax confusing vs basic--it's just familiar to those who use it.

I do feel that some modern changes are annoying and unnecessary though and the instances I see that increase as I get older. I just always try to check myself and analyze how much of that anguish is just from being used to something or not.

I will finally say the examples here of inconsistency between evince and MPV is just inexcusable. You can't both break expectations AND be inconsistent, it's like the worst of both worlds.
Do you do it with callbacks or polling?

That's pretty fundamental and completely changes your API.

And, before you reply, you might want to know that while the majority of things do it with callbacks, both the lowest embedded AND highest custom networking systems implement networking with polling (for different reasons).
Prioritizing where the need is greatest and the cost-per-life-enhanced is lowest makes sense to me.
