I don’t love the design of the language, but it’s far from bad as a whole. It’s easy to critique, but hard to rival how easy it is to get things done with it.

Also the php community has developed some of the nicest software I’ve used for creating web applications. I don’t use it anymore, but my years working with Symfony were very positive.

Overall I’d say it’s a good language and a great community. I don’t personally want to go back to writing php, but I wouldn’t complain if I needed to.

I think people remember how abysmal php was around 10 years ago. It was miserable.

I will try to read and reply to your whole comment later but keep in mind that we live in a democracy not a technocracy. As a people, we did not give consent to this. In my city for example we got rid of all traffic cams as a matter of a referendum. No one cared if it was more accurate than actual cops. We dont want it, we dont want to be recorded and tracked. We are not willing to give up liberties regardless of the benefits of the technology. It can find a missing person but a person hiding from an abusive spouse or people trying to coordinate a movent against the government (see hongkong and china's abuse of facial recongnition) can also be tracked and subverted. This is a weapon pure and simple and it is up to the wielder to use it for good or evil. As a people, we do not trust the government or the ruling class to stop at the good uses of this technology. This is why technocracy is evil, it only looks at outcomes,disregarding the will and consent of the governed.
Leica is doing mobile cameras for Huawei, i wonder why Olympus didn't follow the same path
Good article. I feel like there are a few unstated "elephants" in the room that the author briefly outlined but could be explored more:

quote:
"A comprehensive study published by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that the number of researchers needed to develop new drugs, improved crop yields, and better microprocessors has risen substantially over the past 50 years. Other studies have found that research and development (R&D) productivity has fallen across a wide variety of industries, with lower growth in corporate revenues per research dollar than in the past, and that the impact of Nobel Prize–winning research has also declined. From a given amount of effort (or dollars), less knowledge and innovation arise. Our optimism about the economic prospects of new technologies and innovation should be going down, not up."

Is this, perhaps, also a product of system complexity? maturity and limits of certain processes? guidance and management seeking goals that are de-coupled from reality?

Declining VC investments in, what I read as, CORE TECH.
We are so busy funding some website social convenience service that we forgot about the chips powering it, the power powering it, etc. and rapidly hit EOL on processes.

Perhaps real innovation requires

1) actual major efforts, efforts that our economic system doesn't prioritize enough. there's a million monkeys happy to use your platform for trivial mc-innovations, but you have to slog it out and build said platform first.

2) a deliberate plan, path, trajectory. (I hate to use the manhattan project as a good example for anything, perhaps Arpanet is a little less ugly of an example, in terms of impact.)

Favorite Quote:
"The strategic management discipline places far more emphasis on capturing value through managing revenue streams (e.g., advertising versus subscriptions or product sales) and the scope of activities (e.g., the degree of vertical integration) than on creating value through high-performing, low-cost products that improve productivity in industries. Currently the most popular method of capturing value is with so-called platforms that organize an industry around a single product or service (think of Airbnb, for example, which offers a platform by which homeowners can rent out rooms), often enabling the platform provider to capture most of an industry’s profits. Not only is value creation clearly more important for increasing productivity than is value capture, it is not a coincidence that most of the current money-losing start-ups (e.g., Uber and Lyft) emphasize platforms in their announcements and IPO filings, building from the hype that business schools created."

Which of course leads to me saying:
"there's very little incentive to build a platform that's useful for other actors. there's very little incentive to respect and treat users like humans"

"There is inaccuracy with other methods as well but you have humans being held accountable."

How would the use of a technology make the person acting on the results of the information provided not accountable? There is no agency in those systems, so accountability can not be deferred to them.

"A good analogy would be a chef tolerating fecal matter in their food. Yes, there is always some small chance of that happening, but no one accepts food from s chef that explicitly treats toilet water and claims 99% of the fecal matter is gone and only one in 100 people will get sick from it. "

Actually that is exactly how the food industry operates.

>Not to mention the 1200 word partial life story preceding every recipe.

Everyone I know balks at this, yet it exists. Can some explain why? Where is this tradition coming from? Does this drive page views? I know nothing about the cooking subculture. Is it some sort of normies vs "really into this" thing (and please excuse the phrasing, I could not come up with something better). Because that would mean the page is just not targeted at me. But then again that argument will make sense if the monetization was not through advertisement and view volume.

I didn't realize how curious I was about this.

Edit: just had a thought. Can it be something to do with SEO? Does google like bigger articles with lots of personal text? If this is the reason it would blow my mind. Without knowing it google algo would have made the internet a shittier place, this is very amusing to me.

Interesting approach concept. I have tried using google translate and other machine translation on subtitles. Currently voice to text in many languages is very accurate so we are able to get subtitles of the spoken language quite accurately but machine translation of those to other languages are bad. The translation breaks when it comes to idioms or colloquial speech. Converting to simpler speech before translating should solve the problem of translation. That is what most human subtitle translators do they don't translate the exact words but more of what the speaker is trying to convey. This concept when used with normal forum posts on the web would probably give better results than the current machine translations when we use google translate plugin.

What would a "non-pathetic" latency look like? What improvements in "the stack" would be needed?

The 130ms is "the time from light hitting the camera to when it appears on-screen on the other side". The article doesn't really specify where the latency happens, but with just the encoding/decoding of video alone I think you'll very quickly get latencies in roughly the ~100ms ballpark no matter what.
I have only heard bad things about TikTok so far, and wouldn't let my kids use it. A couple of weeks ago, there was a story about presence of sexual predators preying on children and TikTok's utter lack of moderation.
It makes sense, otherwise they'd be deleting user data without consent. Maybe they could show an opt-in screen to every user pointing them to this setting.
Because most Europeans use weighing scales rather than volumetric measurements. When I'm baking I put the bowl on the scales and pour in the ingredients. When recipes say 1tbsp or 2tsp it gets me annoyed because if they had converted to grams I could just pour those ingredients straight in too but instead I need to get out my volumetric measures (or in most cases just guess and hope it doesn't matter too much)
Yes, I would say the tricky part is accurately modelling what you want. Also, instead of actual nondeterministic behavior, I think that you rather want different things to be deterministic.

The article is an example of "task parallelism", where you have different threads doing different things on different (local) data. Having those threads communicate via message-passing is a nice way to model workflows crossing thread boundaries, and in that setup you usually want some sort of deterministic behavior related to the ordering of operations(for a given workflow).

On the other hand, I think the Rayon example is a good case of "data parallelism", where you have workers doing "the same thing" on "the same (shared-)data".

In such a case, perhaps locks and shared-data are a better fit than message-passing, and indeed what you're after is not necessarily some sort of sequential ordering of worker operations. However you still probably want the ability to make other deterministic assertions about the behavior of the workers.

I wrote another article highlighting some of these "different determinism" at https://medium.com/@polyglot_factotum/rust-concurrency-five-...

So if you are using a Tor operating system like tails, metamask is not available because you wont be using chrome or brave on that OS, installing extensions in tor browser firefox isnt readily available either

Other wallets are not easily compiled on debian and it appears to be a complete afterthought

Yes sending to a node that happens to be routing over tor should be easy

There are too many hurdles and fixing those hurdles will make this viable and more commonplace, where I gather the market doesnt actually want to switch between bitcoin and monero if many are already in the ethereum ecosystem
> The main selling point of these libraries is the clear separation of concerns.

I've rarely heard this as a selling point, and it doesn't seem like a very good one to me.

Even when frontend code is clearly isolated from the backend code, it's quite easy to create a mess of it all.

Except now you're also dealing with 1) multiple separate tech stacks, 2) synchronizing state in at least two places, 3) duplication of code (validation being a common one), 4) payload size and possibly lazy-loading the front-end of your codebase, 5) and so on.

There might be /something/ to this selling point in a sufficiently large project or one where multiple client apps interact with a single backend, of course, but in and of itself I don't see the benefit of such 'forced' separation of concerns.
There are Linux laptops with 2 video cards (one of them being NVIDIA) which has none of the issues mentioned (like for example HP zbooks). So definitely not a problem with every linux laptop.
Well, I could go on a rant around their purpose and some of us would ultimately decide these files like so many others are actually just debris.

Instead I will say we can have a set of critters that cull them in various interesting ways. Critters that watch filesystems for these files and remove them if they still exist an hour after creation. Or remove them all on a schedule. Or block list them via .gitignore and similar. Sync scripts that have block lists for files and folders that match names. The solutions are endless.

This isn’t only a mac thing either. Other OS create their own variations of debris.

I find it very much unsettling that you're portraying as capricious or arbitrary things that I would consider basic human decency. We're not talking about Facebook's font choice here, we're talking about intolerable content that foments racial hatred.

Also, it seems like many people in HN politics threads over the last couple of months are in such a rush to talk about everything in terms of a clash over speech and censorship that they seem to forget about the actual clash over racial equality. There's a ton of important and complicated context around why norms for acceptable speech should change. That context is why the Facebook moderation concerns are able to come from a place of universal values, and not arbitrary zero-sum disagreement.
Olympus will certainly be remembered for at least one thing:

The two decade long tobashi scheme by Olympus Imaging Executives to hide
billions in losses.

"While early activities generated profits in 1987, by
1991 Olympus recorded 2.1 billion losses. Rumors circulated that by the late 1990s, losses
had grown larger.

Rather than come clean and admit the losses, management continued to
‘double down’ with riskier investments.

Olympus created a tobashi scheme to shift losses off the Olympus balance sheet. Companies
located in the Cayman Islands were purchased via exorbitant Management and Acquisition Fees.

When the first Western President, Michael Woodford, questioned these practices, he was fired
after two weeks on the job. Woodford became perhaps the first CEO ever to blow the whistle on
his own firm.

The subsequent scandal brought arrests of the executive team, an 80% decline in
share price, the threat of de-listing on the Tokyo Exchange, and an international look at Japanese
Corporate Governance. "

But it has nothing on the established fiat currencies, where a >10% change in a year is (rightly) considered a major event

Consider USD/EUR. In 2015 it was 0.9, and currently it's 0.89. It's peak and low was 0.96 and 0.8. That a 10% bandwidth around a stable average.
At a given resolution, CRTs pixels made for much more readable text (provided the refresh rate was sufficient; I found 60Hz nigh unbearable, 90Hz tolerable, and 120Hz preferable). LCD pixels are much more precise, which means that they appear much less smooth, so that you want a much higher resolution. CRT pixels were fundamentally imprecise, and that was actually really good for text. It’s about a decade since I last used a CRT, but my feeling is that text would look better (be smoother and more legible) on your 1600×1200 20″ CRT (100dpi) than on a 1920×1080 15″ LCD (141dpi). I think that the last CRT I dealt with much felt fairly similar in legibility &c. to my first laptop, and those were 1280×1024 19″ at 120Hz (~86dpi) and 1680×1050 15.4″ (~128dpi).
with you know what on everyone's minds, I'm interested in investing in the funeral home on the front page. Seems like a pretty stable place to put one's money regardless.
It's mostly SEO and "engagement" but also possibly copyright law (at least that's the case with cookbooks that include non-recipe fluff content)

From the US Copyright Office:

"Mere listings of ingredients as in recipes, formulas, compounds, or prescriptions are not subject to copyright protection. However, when a recipe or formula is accompanied by substantial literary expression in the form of an explanation or directions, or when there is a combination of recipes, as in a cookbook, there may be a basis for copyright protection.”
It computes for me. It's my Trusted Computing Base, in fact. Would rather have to trust one company than several, as with Android. Can we do better somehow?

This is a good point, and often the reality - it’s unfortunate that it is being downvoted. But it’s a defeatist stance. It’s a central part of the designer’s job to contend that human factors are important, and explain what the effects of shortcuts and poor user experience are on the value of the product and the well-being of its users.

If you’re lucky your client hired you because they, too, care and believe design to be important, but that’s far from a given.
There's a spec for putting a device tree in an ARM chip's rom, the problem being that it's often wrong in some way, requiring device-specific corrections.

Note, however, that there's a lot of "quirks" and similar device-specific corrections for x86 as well. These get presented to Microsoft by the manufacturer, and Linux gets to reverse-engineer them.

I have a UK passport, one of the best in the world until recently. If I want to work in say the US as they are doing in Schengen it’s a massive pain.

Sure I can go for business meetings with an esta, but producing a TV program requires (from memory) a P visa

I remember some colleagues going to Nigeria to build a new office. They needed a work visa, which aside from the really high cost, required sending a TELEX!

I only went to interview some new hires, so that was allowed with a much easier business visa. Still a massive pain.

Another visa for a business trip (Pakistan) involved a 2 hour queue at a tent in Kensington and handing over private bank records.

I love DF. I played it for so many years that I knew all the bindings I needed by heart. It was insane.

But I left it alone many years ago, like 6 years ago at least.

And after that I feel like you can get the same joy from simpler games, and prettier games, like Rimworld and Oxygen not included.

Sure they'll never be as complex and deep as DF but they're much simpler to get into after not having played and they don't have a steep learning curve.

To this day I'm on the lookout for DF-like games on Steam. And I'm still waiting for DF to come out on Steam to give it another shot.
This is an excellent idea, though perhaps too much like crowdfunding. There’s an early bird bonus that bumps your ROC—for instance, helping float a parrot store through COVID as one of the first X dollars can push me from 30% to 50% returns (both over 7 years).

Also, considering the uptick in cases over the past week, the timing of investing in small businesses seems suspect.

From my experience, Pixels are great mainly because they are just as fluid as iphones and aren't bloated with crap that basically every android hardware vendor puts on. I tried out a htc one and a samsung galaxy s4 and went straight back to iphones as the software was just so laggy and bloated. My pixel 2 feels just as fluid as the iphones I have had though.

Iphones and pixels are both great and far above the other phones I have had so I don't think you can go wrong with either. Main benefit I have with android currently is that I can sideload a wifi hotspot app without paying a stupid subscription fee and google services like assistant, photos, and maps are much better in my opinion.
