Definitely agree on those negatives (except Bluetooth which I've never used so have no insight on). I also wouldn't mind if it had a hardware camera button to take photos quickly as well (rare on all phones), since if I'm taking a picture it's usually something strange I see outside and I'd like to do it quickly.

Overall it's worth it, especially since I spend more time not using my phone than using it.

Thanks for your suggestion ... I have no experience of Joplin, so I've gone at looked at the website, which says:

> Joplin is a free, open source note taking and to-do application, which can handle a large number of notes organised into notebooks. The notes are searchable, can be copied, tagged and modified either from the applications directly or from your own text editor. The notes are in Markdown format.

In what sense is this building a website? Also, it says that the notes are in Markdown, and the request is specifically for a UI, not markdown.

I don't see how Joplin fills any of the brief, but maybe I'm just missing things. Can you explain more how to use Joplin to build a website?
> go through the starch grains (still on the plate)

This part is key to understanding. The plate with the starch-based colored mosaic is not simply a filter used upon capture to be removed after (as most filters are today), but also a filter to be used upon viewing. Since the same exact “filter” is used for both capturing and viewing of a given photograph, it allows the mosaic to be random, simplifying creation of the filter.
> And that can be blamed back to users.

That's victim blaming. Companies are the ones who shaped this situation and they managed to because each intrinsically acts as a unified entity with a unified goal and a lot of power behind it. People may be many but have little to no individual power, and they don't act in any coordinated fashion.

Users accept this because they can't really imagine it differently. Many of them never saw it working any other way. And phones never had the same kind of flexibility and repairability that PCs offer so people unwittingly assume this is normal and not even give it a second though.
I saw this tweet a short while back. It does not add anything to the article but is an official source

Also we didn’t know that masks protect. At the time the thinking was the virus was spreading through surfaces so the guidance was to wipe down all surfaces, etc.

But since then we’ve discovered that the overwhelming majority of spread has been due to direct transfer of the virus usually through water droplets.

The virus is too small for masks to stop them. But most masks are good enough to stop water droplets.
I found the GPS accuracy left a bit to be desired.
You can, and animal rights and criminalizing abuse is slowly improving across the globe I think. But the cruelty that is illegal doesn't cover a lot of entrenched cruelty, like conflating their lives with our convenience and dropping your pet off at a shelter to be killed later, or taking your pet to a vet to be killed now, or do it yourself in many places, or leaving a baby animal alone all day, or chaining animals up permanently, or spending all day in a carry bag, etc etc.
Some of these articles have been up for years. What triggered their investigation into this reporter now?
Always!

I think astronomers often make it worse. I mean, we like thinking about why things are actually aliens as much as anyone else (LGM1 was already mentioned), and while we mostly try to restrain ourselves, every now and again a famous astronomer breaks and lets out a paper about it.
Don't they already do that? Mics at long range, informants wearing wires, bugs in peoples houses, etc. Its not like whispering is a legally protected class of talking.

What if everyone in the world, right now, could produce supersmallpox or craft a nuke (or, given sufficiently-advanced technology, do something else for which the same technology offers a poor defense compared to the offense)?

Wouldn't the only chance for survival entail a daily, warranted scan by the thought reader of everyone to ensure nobody was tempted to do it? (Or, better, omniscient surveillance.)

The point here being that the "1984" route is a valid (if not ultimately preferable) choice in this philosophical fork in the road.

(Also, rest unassured, I hate having this opinion.)
> If anything, I would imagine masks to be a prepper thing, so I would have thought more popular on the right

You can _think_ that, or you can look outside at who’s protesting masks and which president is discouraging their usage.
The trick is because the shade of grey DOES have chroma. You can't just apply any autochrome panel to the image (unlike what the OP is trying to do with Rainbow), instead, the negative is generated using the chrominance filter

Imagine that each grain is blocking a 'pixel' of the negative. For simplicity of this explanation, I'll pretend the grains are red, green, and blue. If there's a blue grain, only blue light can get through, and thus the luminance is baked in specific to the amount of blue in that region. The same is true for the red, and the green.

Thus, each 'pixel' of the negative isn't determining a monochromatic luminosity (ie black and white), but instead telling the luminosity of a single channel of red, green, or blue.

When the grain filter and the developed negative are combined, we get natural colour. The same filter is used for generation and display.

Another way to think of it is like this: Each pixel on our screen is actually 3 subpixels, each defining red, green, and blue, and we format our image to alternate between telling the red, green, and blue channels how bright to be. This is doing the same, but the subpixels are distributed randomly because that's much easier to make.

EDIT:

If you organise the grains in a geometric pattern, you get Dufaycolor[1].

Isn't that how you end up with echo chambers? I think something obviously needs to change, but giving the majority a button to hide posts they don't like from everybody on the site won't lead to more meaningful discussion.
Totally agreed. Reliable 30 Mbps is enough for me and my wife to simultaneously join Teams or Zoom video calls without issues. It's enough even when our preschooler wants to call a friend on Zoom at the same time, which happened once. And it's enough to watch Netflix in HD on two screens at once.

> the author has set himself to read 20 books per year. Suppose this is double of his standard.

That would be an obvious misstep. Both in terms of objective setting and in measurable key results. This blog post misses part of the value of OKRs: they teach us to set high level objectives and repeatedly decompose them. Here, objectives are instead just categories that provide no focus. It's like that antipattern where managers ask their directs for projects then try to combine them into OKRs. What, pray-tell, does launching an open source project have to do with boosting knowledge? And like, why 20 books instead of 10? And why specify quantity rather than quality or subject? Does reading a book mean you've boosted knowledge if you barely remember anything you read?

A better OKR setup would likely be something like (a bit modified to suit my own circumstances):

Objective: Boost Knowledge
Key result: learn more about statistics

etc

Which is decomposed into:

Objective: Learn more about statistics
Key Result: Work through the Freedman, Pisani and Purves Statistics textbook
Key Result: Create a hundred Anki cards on statistics
Key Result: Make the front page of HN with a stats blog post

And even those can be subdivided

Objective: Make the front page of HN with a stats blog post
Key Result: Generate ten blog post ideas
Key Result: Research and analyze five blog post ideas
Key Result: Publish and promote all five blog post ideas

But you're absolutely right that meaning can be lost. Moving passion projects into a todo list misses the 'passion' part entirely, and is best reserved for the drudge parts of life necessary to enable the sublime. By all means, set OKRs for retirement, taxes, and career development.
Criminals will keep using real crypto, even if it’s illegal, because they’re criminals. The public will get bad crypto and fall further victim to crime and mass surveillance.

I agree on the point of conditional means, however I'd say other statistical frameworks emphasize that point even more.

The point about the probability distribution is reasonable, but I am not sure if it is taken seriously by everyone applying GLM either. And again, if it is not necessary to assume such a distribution, then I would prefer a semi parametric approach, such as in linear regression.
There does seem to be a particular reluctance in the US to change things "because everyone else does it this way."

It even goes beyond that though. Although this is on its way to becoming a largely academic point, the US also hasn't changed the bills and coins in common circulation for probably close to 100 years. We still have a penny, the dollar coin didn't take off (which I'm actually fine with as I prefer a bill for a $1-$2ish denomination), and you still can't count of being able to use $100 bill at a random store in the US.

For beginners, JavaScript.info is surprisingly amazing resource. I found it better than Eloquent JS.
Partly, but I don't think it's that simple.

I'm about as introverted as you're likely to meet, but I enjoy the hell out of MST3K. Making fun of a movie in ways the creators didn't intend, tickles my sense of humor. Doing so in a setting where I don't need to share my physical space with my co-conspirators is just awesome.

Going to a crowded theatre sucks. Going to a popular drive-in and knowing that there are hundreds of other cars full of people enjoying the show, and if the weather's nice and the insects are -icided and the windows are down and we can hear each other laughing, is a fun collective experience.

There are some movies that prefer to be experienced alone, or with one other. There are books that need to be read from the page, not narrated by Audible.com. There are albums that crave headphones and a comfy chair and a silent room, and there are albums that thrive on the open road with windows down and hair flying. I think that's part of the art, as much as the audience.
US Senators are at the executive top-of-the-food chain in a complicated social game of "can / cannot" and "should / should not", so US Senators can propose things that are not in the interest of individuals, despite being individuals themselves. US Senators (mostly lawyers) decide that law is "good enough" to be used to control technical behavior.

A major, major problem with locks and technical solutions is, that they keep un-trained people out, trained people must jump through hoops, but the implementors have special insight and resources in how to break it. Therefore, the implementors get special powers that individuals do not have, trained or not trained. Once again, US Senators believe that the implementors are "good enough" to be useful, given that errors, omissions and yes, crime, will occur.

The end result is, from the point of view of the individual writing this, is that implementors have special powers over individuals moving forward. This may or may not be a bad deal. Historically, humans have victimized other humans at astounding rates, including incentiving others to do the same, sucessfully. So, do you an individual, or you a responsible organization leader, believe that these particular implementors will be special over time and not use this power to victimize others?

lastly, throw in the murkier sides of "legal" and "victimization" .. Famously, most everything done in 1930s Germany was legal, at each step, encapsulated in the derogatory term "little Eichmann"

edit- over time, technical solutions will break or be leaked, and then all the "should / should not" is irrevocably out of the equation.. this last part is often what is referred to by technical analysts.. the chain of responsibility becomes un-fixably broken "when" not "if"

I'm curious why so many people say it like this, even out loud. I also hear it with other objects of love, like "I heart pizza", or "I heart walks in the park".

"I heart something" is so awkward it's like you have to deliberately ignore the obvious reading ("I love") and choose "I heart", maybe to be playful. Meanwhile, "I love something" is as old as English. I saw the logo when I was a child and immediately read it as "I love New York".

If it sounds like I'm criticizing you, it's more that I am deeply curious! I feel in the minority, because I hear people pronounce it "heart" more often than "love".
> An elected legislator is not the government in my mind. This whole personification of the government done by Americans puzzles me. Government holds the monopoly on violence, not Beto. He shouldn’t imply such a terrible thing.

The government is comprised of people. Pointing to individual actors in that group seems sensible since "government" is not some autonomously system but a system composed of individuals who direct the actions of the group.
Sure, yeah, I wouldn't put 'I dare you to enforce' in writing. And paying a small amount is a good idea.

I just think people on HN being unrealistic about how real estate law actually works is part of why these comments sections are filled with 'landlords are evil', left-wing populism. A huge huge number of tenants are going to simply not pay their landlords in this recession, and in practice the landlord has zero recourse. Millions of tenants are going to skip out on billions in rent, and it's not like a judge is going to enforce all these judgments in over-crowded housing court or small claims court or something. When the courts reopen, months from now, with a massive backlog.

This is doubly true for blue state judges. If you add up all the court cases in blue states where the defendant says 'sorry, I lost my job, I can't finish my lease or pay the termination fee or whatever', their win rate is like 90-95%+

Agreed! Alexis de Tocqueville had similar arguments about slavery and it's economic inefficiencies. Sadly part of his argument was not based on civil liberties and rights rather his argument was the expense of the "up keep", housing and feeding slaves, versus an individual worker who is free has to provide their own cost of living for which that burden is then lifted off the master/owner. The business owner simply pays the worker for his/her labor, and no more feeding and housing. It saves expenditure burden on the owner and transfers the cost to the worker, maximize profits.

Wonder what he would say to the mechanization of labor through technology and its benefits of ending the institution of slavery and providing owners cheaper or eliminating labor expenditure?

So just another view point on the issue of "inefficiency of slavery" argument.

Any other "solution" results in a local maximum. If I learned one thing last years of all the denying is that you cannot put the bar high enough especially when it concerns long term planning of the ecosystem of Earth. Just realize where we would be today if climate change was taken seriously in the 1960's. Let's not make that same mistake with plastic all over again.

Do you have a recommendation for learning HTML/CSS (and how it interfaces with JS) as well? JavaScript has never been a particularly hard language for me to grasp, it’s all the finicky bits of working with an actual browser that act as a deterrent for me to want to do much with browser UI. (Preferably the way to learn this would be based on standards that are generally implemented or have carve outs for how engines might behave slightly differently. I’ve wanted to do some things with Electron so I only have a single target to care about, but that barrier is still there to even begin to understand how to lay stuff out even with something like FlexBox)

EDIT: Also if you know any resources for writing high performance JS, that would be appreciate too. Not necessarily just number crunching optimizations, but also working with (potentially large) strings/Unicode. I’ve worked on something that might need to parse tens of megabytes of a simple plain text format including dates and likely (complex) Unicode characters, so making that as fast as possible is important to me. (I got it down to like 500ms for 30-40MB I’d text but I think I managed faster with a version on the JVM, with both being single threaded)
Autochrome is pretty much just subpixels. You capture and view a greyscale image through the same dots-of-color filter plate, and thus you see color, just like an image sensor uses a Bayer filter to deconstruct color into greyscale (with three times as many pixels), and then your screen has three subpixel per pixel which you perceive as a solid color because they're sorta far away and kinda small.

Although I wouldn't call these questions a great way to assess people for the job, they are fine as a way to weed out people who can't program at all. Most high schoolers spend hours leetcoding these days. I do wonder how tough the market would be by the time I can legally work given current trends of everyone jumping into IT jobs.
If you only check programs that are in the task bar, you'll find plenty of computers where every running program is restart-aware and able to mostly save its state.

Or since we already have to pay for law enforcement anyway, they could just do their jobs and catch the bad guys. But I think we all know at this point that "catching bad guys" is just a pretense, right?
> If people cared about society more than money it wouldn't be a problem to invest or take investment money, because you'd all be working toward the same goal of maximizing returns to "society".

We have a hard time deciding what is best for "society" and how to achieve it. Using money as votes is working pretty well: people get to choose what they prefer from multiple offers, they clearly say what they care about the most (by spending most of their disposable income on it), which then incentivizes more people to look at solving problems in that area.

Sure, we could have lots of large meetings, or 100 levels of small elections etc pp, but this works pretty efficiently and without too much coordination. Yes, it also creates some issues, but in general I think the issues are by far outweighed by the benefits.

in the US, at this point, advocating for metrification is associated with a sort of odd, fringe type of political figure.
