You have a very restrictive, and frankly naive view, of what constitutes science and what is engineering. There is not a clear-cut distinction (same as with "pure" and applied mathematics), not royal line which clearly separates the disciplines.It is a continuum. Were Penzias and Wilson doing science or engineering? What about Barden or Marconi or Nakamura? What about the guys at the Manhattan project? God knows engineers suffer a lot of the "let-me-tell-you-how-your-field-should-work" syndrome, but guess what? So does physicists, so it has nothing to do with understanding what science is all about and more with overestimate our success in transferring our knowledge,experience and capability to a different field.
The main reason for this is innovation in dedicated cameras has slowed to a crawl.

No dedicated camera I'm aware of will take 128 full res frames within half a second, and align and stack them to reduce sensor noise. Yet all modern phone cameras do something like that.

You couldn't even really do the above in postprocessing - the Canon EOS 4000D can only do 3 fps, and only has a buffer of 6 frames.

The reason phone cameras have caught up despite 'worse' physics, is that dedicated cameras electronics are lacking functionality that phone cameras have had for a few years now.

Whatsapp, Juniper Network, Netgate (pfsense) and now iXsystems. All within the past 24 months. I am not sure if I could call it the writing is on the wall, but apart from Netflix I am not sure what other major contributors are left. While FreeBSD won't die anytime soon. Its usage and resources is definitely shrinking.
True, but they can't know the content at all.
I think this is meant to be a joke (like the whole site). Kinda like those "white people be like/black people be like" videos people make on social media. Of course you might disagree but I think this is not so bad as long as it's not hateful or indecent and flagging for that is a little over the top.
I have used both Arch and Gentoo, and the only similarity between them is steep learning curve. They are based on completely different tech (pacman vs. portage, systemd vs. openrc) and philosophy, they pursue completely different goals and solve different problems (or, rather, I hesitate to give a quick answer what problem does Arch solve, unlike Gentoo that gives the ability to customize the system all the way down, for a hefty price, of course).

This whole discussion is about the E2E case. That's what the CEO was referring to. There's a twitter thread link somewhere.

I think I read that Zoom do decrypt AES-GCM server side already. They have to so they can put the little green box around the person currently speaking. EDIT - this is incorrect for AES-GCM, it's not decrypted server side.

Edit - at least e2e is the angle I'm approaching it from as it's the new information.

I've yet to read a compelling argument in favor of large-scale 5G deployment, and I'm far from being anti-tech. Except for self-driving cars, I suppose.
While it isn't Microsoft's work (and Wine has proven that it is technically run most of 16bit programs natively on 64bit), there is Otya128's WineVDM port to Windows[0] that can run 16bit applications in an emulated 386 by stubbing 16bit calls to 32bit ones (so it also relies on the existing Windows backwards compatibility).

Some examples are

https://i.imgur.com/r5aQNyJ.png - Smalltalk Express

https://i.imgur.com/W9ES2fg.png - Delphi 1

https://i.imgur.com/VLSglAK.png - Windows 1.0 port of WineMine

https://i.imgur.com/OLq2gLm.jpg - The Exile series of RPGs

https://i.imgur.com/e26mqWP.png - MicroLathe (though that one does a segfault every time it renders... but it catches it and allows continuing use of the program)

While these programs are fun to play around with (especially Smalltalk Express), another use for this is to run the setup of older (32bit) applications that used a 16bit stub (Microsoft does have a few replacement stubs for some very popular installers but there are many other - and other versions - that are not there... and funny enough, AFAIK this project relies on the code Microsoft added to check for 16bit installers to run any 16bit program :-P).

The future of work: social, pop culture and wood stain
> I really don't get this disconnect between people wanting to always hide behind a keyboard or smart phone when it comes to food.

I don't want to 'hide', but my social anxiety makes phone conversations with people I don't know a harrowing experience; to make it bearable I need to work through a mental image of how a 'successful' call might go, from greeting through hanging-up, with some variations of what might happen in-between.

For a medical test related call I can force myself to go through with it, but to order food, when I can find something else that I like and that I can order via an app - I will avoid calling. I know this is quite an odd excuse, however did want to note that I at least want the personal phone contact, but can't deal with the unpredictability / stress involved that well.
Ask HN: What do you use to diagram APIs to be built?
I'm leading a project where I need a remote team to build an API that's basically all in my head right now. I could write a bunch of documentation (and that's how I've done this in the past), but it might be better for them to see a diagram where I can show the resources and request methods to be used, then show a "behind the scenes" series of boxes and such explaining the database architecture along with the process.

There's gotta be some decent software for doing something like this, and I'm hoping some of it happens to be free. Any suggestions?

(Clarification: I'm interested in what YOU use and what you like, not just results from the first page of Addle - err, I mean, Google.)
Yes, indeed. When you talk to an epidemiologist (e.g. a doctor of physics), ask him to look at f'/f (death per day/death total) in a log-chart they'll tell you that it is 'useless' to look.

If you show him a straight line with R²>0,99 (e.g. Germany using 7 day averages) - they will tell you that it all means nothing and that the curve in fact is bending - because the 'policies' must have worked.

If you tell them that working policies should have left visible marks in the curve and that the curve is converging: They will just block you.

Science is dead - at least in the field of epidemiology.

In my estimation, legibility is as much a function of familiarity as anything.

I think the degree to which serifs aid legibility is overstated. Any studies are likely biased through familiarity of serif fonts by test subjects, since that’s what most printed reading material used.

A friend of mine is Romanian, and it is impressive how good their telecommunications are managed. This is something many countries can learn from.

Here in the UK, the government has grand ambitions, but it doesn't really materialise. Most people with "fibre" broadband are limited to 20-60Mbps. Although if you live in a major city you can get 200-300Mbps.The infrastructure is ancient, and by taking half measures they spend more in the long run for far less.

This is something that annoys me about 5G. It will cost a fortune to roll out (making data so expensive it won't be fully utilised). 4G on my phone right now is 35Mbps. 5G is more a tickbox exercise than bringing better connectivity to people.

But Backblaze is cheating in how they compare pricing, because they compare to a much more expensive S3 storage class. In the "4TB disk crash" case it's really not as their website describes:

AWS: $ 48/year to store, $ 312 to retrieve
Backblaze: $ 240/year to store, $ 40 to retrieve

If I store it for more than 17 months before the crash, Backblaze is actually more expensive than AWS.
yes, exactly my questions

Should we become more risk averse as population grows because the numbers of deaths become so staggering? Or is percentage deaths a more relevant measure?

If you have 10000 people in your medieval media sphere, and ONE PERSON DIES EACH YEAR from an ox cart accident, we probably don't stop using ox carts. What if there's ten billion people in your media circle and therefore A MILLION OX CART DEATHS PER YEAR, should we therefore abandon ox carts?

I don't feel 100% on the answer, maybe the answer is something like.... we should spend the same percentage of resources avoiding unnecessary ox cart deaths as we would at the small scale? That would be a lot of money toward better ox carts, but we wouldn't shut down the world because OMG ONE MILLION either.
A Detailed Tutorial of the Defect Bug Life Cycle
After IBM acquired Red Hat I was once asked what I am hoping to come out of this acquisition.

My answer was that for me personally the hope was to have more Linux ready machines and laptops available in the end consumer market (i.e. non server, non cloud market). Although the Thinkpads are long not anymore IBM products, somehow I was still hoping for the closer connection between hardware and OS know how in the form of the IBM-Red Hat relationship would trickle through.

Seeing Red Hat next to Ubuntu as supported Linux OS makes me think that Red Hat made actually some contributions to making this announcement possible.

It's great to see that it's not just one model but all models in all configurations will be supported. This is great news to businesses who need computers only as a gateway to cloud apps. Why would you pay windows licenses (particularly professional), if you can get a decent OS that can be managed better by IT for free? This is will weigh in particularly with cheap machines that are used by office workers in the throughout of the service economy.

Edit: maybe this will be the start of the height of the current trend to push all applications into the cloud, which is the SUN workstation 2.0 model. I wonder if the cyclical nature of this trend makes a comeback in the form of bringing cloud compute back to edge devices in 10 years. I would wonder what could drive such a comeback for the average Joe?
Also photographer here, I disagree that it doesn't matter. There are some things that you can't do[0] with a phone, e.g. good low-light shots, astrophotography, different lenses, etc.

Yes, I have a phone with me, and it's great for when I forgot my camera, but there is no comparison in the freedom that the 5D gives me in postprocessing compared to a phone sensor. Phones are great for 100% of the things the average user wants, but not enough for what many artists want.

[0] It's not technically impossible, but it's a huge hassle and probably won't be near as good as with cameras.

How to run effective meetings, and thrive
It looks like a site may consume about 20kW. This sounds like a good bit, and is more than an LTE mast, but you have to keep in mind that it’s much less than a car and about equivalent to two electric showers. From a societal energy usage point of view it’s irrelevant.
This only says they'll certify ThinkPad P series, which are mobile workstations not the more comfortable laptop ranges. Reading the title you'd think it might be workstations, and all ThinkPads.
More efficient use of spectrum. LTE spectrum is already overloaded in many places.
> But that's effectively what doing nothing does. The state has teeth (the police) and it doesn't bite.

Kind of, but not really. If you send the police to confront the looters, you are showing your teeth, you're saying "this will stop right here and right now, or else". You have to have a plan for the "or else" part.

If you don't send the police, you're not saying anything. Everybody is aware that the police exists, but unless you assert your power, there is no challenge.

This is obviously not a possible long-term strategy, because not having any power and never asserting the power you have are functionally the same. I don't think that anybody assumes the rioting will be a long-term problem though, so that may not be an issue.

> When are we finally going to apply the only acceptable course of action?

We won't. We're doing harm-reduction, both on a society level and, for politicians, on an individual level (and for management in large companies). Kick the can down the road. Attacking the big problems before they become unavoidable isn't something our systems are set up to do, not causing disturbances is incentivized, be that in law enforcement, dealing with dead industries surviving only on subsidies, education, pollution and emissions, health care, public infrastructure etc pp. "Spending $5m on that bridge now will save us lots of money in the future" isn't what the public sees - it's "they want to waste $5m on a perfectly fine bridge".
> it could be easy to create bad queries, and hard to fix performance issues

You can do complexity analysis of the query before you run it and deny requests that have complexity above a certain value. Some graphQL libraries provide this out of the box. Of course it won't eliminate all possibilities of bad queries, but at least most of them.

For me GraphQL simplifies life quite a bit. We have an internal library that plugs a lot of things in automatically but leaves full customizability options, which makes it quite convenient to build APIs. On the front-end there are very useful libraries that again make life simpler. In short: the biggest benefit is that I have more time to spend on things that actually matter, instead of inventing my own protocol that in the end is just going to be a worse graphQL.
Yes. Domains, long lived private keys, developer accounts, etc. are all better than the current system. If timestamp countersigning were replaced with some kind of domain based validation we could have short lived keys and the whole thing could be tied back to a digital identity that’s more trustworthy than Malware Inc.’s EV code signing certificate.
I must point out that this does NOT cover ThinkPad T and X series. From the press release:

> Our entire portfolio of ThinkStation and ThinkPad P Series workstations will now be certified via both Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Ubuntu LTS – a long-term, enterprise-stability variant of the popular Ubuntu Linux distribution.
Some days ago I installed Ubuntu on a system with a RTX 2070 super. There were no problems at all with the Nvidia driver.

But it was a kind of miracle it worked out of the box. Because before that I had to manually fix the Wi-Fi driver.

Hardware changes sometimes turn into a hell on Linux (Ubuntu). But I still won't go to Windows or MacOS. I just like the freedom of Linux. And when things are working, most of the time they keep working. On an other pc I have over 6 years of Ubuntu upgrades and it is still running fine.
That's my opinion also. 4G is good enough, it consumes not only less material resources but also our atention that is a scarse resource also.

> Innovation in dedicated cameras has slowed to a craw

Agreed! A dSLR with the same hardware/software sophistication of modern iPhones would be a marvelous product. If camera manufacturers are unwilling or uncapable to deliver this, I wonder if Apple would ever consider entering that market. Imagine: an iPhone with an APS-C sensor and replaceable lenses! The sad truth is that it would probably be a product with too long a lifespan for Apple to build it.

They baptize a living person, who acts as a proxy. If I remember correctly, there's some stipulation that the person in heaven has to actually accept the baptism, they're not just being forced into it. I don't remember the specifics of that though, I left the church a few years ago.
I had to buy a new phone this year to replace one. Because it was one of the smallest packages for what I wanted, I got myself a Samsung Note 10. (Srsly, why must phones now be that big, that the regular note series looks small?)

Also I did had some small travel plans this year for every second weekend, where I wanted take my Pentax SLR out or buy myself a Sony Rx100 if space in the backbag runs out. (Moved to next year.)

But now? I'm not sure.

Yes, the dslr with its bigger sensor would be better suited to get more details in each pic and would be a much easier tool to use. But, there aren't really visible on your averaged sized print. And as long my trip isn't focused on getting pictures of animals, I don't need more reach than the short-/portrait- tele lens from the phone already provides.

But I save myself massively on packing space, weight, theft prevention and stress.

And the last point I think is the biggest deal in the end. If I travel to relax, I don't want to focus on getting the best out of my equipment to justify bringing it.
(Or worse have to listen to others unasked opinion about my equipment choices.) A phone does the job and gets out of the way.

Sending pics home from a dslr? I hope you got your notebook with you and 1-2 hours in your hotelroom. I'm already done on the phone...

I think the main point was lost a bit once actual numbers got involved: Everyone gets these benefits in other countries, regardless of type of job. Of course you get paid holidays and good healthcare, but what about all the other people in your town enabling you to have your jobs - healthcare workers, cleaners, workers in the shops and warehouses and so on? The point of unions isn't maximized profits for a few, but a good living for everyone. That reduces income inequality, which sometimes lessens the options for the few at the top of the income pyramid.
> does the existence of a cert really make a piece of (proprietary) software trustworthy?

Nope. I’d even goes as far as to say the majority of malware and other crap you don’t want on your PC is signed these days.
Format:

* Field type: S - 16 bytes, D - 32, L - 64, Q - 128, B - 256, P - 512, T - 1024.

* Field ID - 3 bytes ASCII Letters, numbers, '_';

* Field-value separator - 2 bytes: ':' and field value terminator, e.g. ': ' or ':"' or ':[' or ':{' or ':(' ;

* Field value 9 bytes ASCII for S, 27 for D, and so on, padded with ' ';

* Field separator: 1 byte '\n';

Such text can be parsed by both human and computer, because computer can just jump from field to field without parsing everything in between, like humans do.
Twitter Suspension Experiment Update
>>It make less sense in cases where someone is a victim of a crime or a patient being transported as such individuals are protected from the public prying eye

Few things there, first "victim of a crime", most area's criminal reports are public records as they should be. Allowing the police to operate in secret is a very bad thing

Further outside of location information is a rare that other personal info is transmitted over the air anyway, general descriptions etc sure but...

Finally I think the public value, and transparency we get from having open air dispatch far far far far outweighs the limited privacy concerns. People say the same things when police are mandated to wear body cams, just like in those situations the public right to know what the police are actually doing far outweighs some minor privacy concerns.

We need FULL transparency in policing right now.

I'm new to photography and I've invested heavily in the mirrorless ecosystem in the past year. I can't echo this articles sentiment enough. For 90-95% of use cases my 2 grand camera is a lame duck.

I regularly wondered if the love of my camera was simply some sunk cost bias towards it. I've been mostly cured of this thought through the reactions of people. A "holy sh*t" when I show them a long-exposure of the stars. A whispered "oh my god" when I show them a shot with beautiful bokeh.

And to me - as a physicist - the act catching the edge cases, that extra 5% of shots. The stuff you need a good sensor and a nice piece of glass to capture. That's what I find exciting.
