I don't understand why it offends people. I understand that anything linguistically tied to America's race issues is becoming taboo and this is now A New Rule, but I still don't get the mental process that's going on inside the minds of the offended, or feel the emotional response that they feel.

That's quite a scary thing, not because I have a problem with renaming words that make other people feel bad, but because I don't understand why they feel bad in the first place. That means I can't predict what's going to happen next or whether I'm doing something wrong that I don't know about but will get me fired. The whole thing is confusing and strange and unpredictable, and I can't tell whether it's going to end in civil rights, civil war, or just be a storm in a teacup.

I'm guessing people who are dismissive of e.g. Github renaming master branches are feeling the same way and lashing out.

And what does HN think of Ben Davidson and its Suspicious0bservers YouTube channel ?

He claims electric forces shape the universe at big scales, and that our sun, because it is travelling through certain structures in the galaxy, charges then violently discharges in what he wall a micro-nova event. Most stars in the universe according to him actually are recurrent novae. When such an event occurs, huge electric potentials are blasted from the sun towards the planets in its vicinity , causing electric and plasma arcs able to form craters or even carve canyons.

> No, the equivalent for a software engineer is actually coding, whether on the job or not.

Practice and performance are not the same thing. The mindset is entirely different.

Imagine a world where devs are told by their managers to stop working on a task when it’s clear that the task is not improving their skills.

It doesn’t happen because as a software dev every day is game day.

Instead they will get asked to solve the same kind of problem umpteenth times.

I’ve had to leave top tech companies just to get an opportunity to improve.

This is a really impressive demo and points to a very interesting future of programming where requirements can be automatically converted to code and the developer is primarily determining and phrasing unambiguous requirements and checking the resulting code.

I don't know if that's a future of software development that I would wish to see, but it's definitely interesting!
Obviously it has to pass through itself. The interesting thing is that it is possible to evert it without pinching or creasing.

I'm not sure if special relativity applies in the context of quinoa. No scale is going to show a difference in the mass of quinoa caused by relativistic effects of heat differences.
I guess that's a reasonable position to take. It reminds me of paper publications where you have all the figures on color plates bound in the middle/end, so I guess it isn't without precedent

On the other hand, it made me think of old Usenet posts and discussions. That was another medium where you were limited to plain-text only. Posts were often forced to resort to awful ASCII-art drawings of things they wanted to explain and that was just a horrible experience altogether (not to mention how fun those drawings are to decipher today where modern archives have mostly messed up the white space).
Yes that too.
I think this is a fairly cynical take, as having news on the web is also pretty great for users.

Imagine if instead of having all news stories a quick search away you instead had to install apps from X different news sources (and inevitably grant them permission to access your location, contacts list, name of first born child etc.). It'd create lots of little silos of news with very little ability to go outside those silos.

Put another way, the web is a great platform for news. It does benefit Google, but it also benefits the billions of people who can freely access a huge range of sources.
You don’t have to be a fanatic, you just have to care about getting a consistent result. A cup of dry flour can vary in weight by more than 20%, depending on how you scoop it, the humidity, etc. That’s such a large variance that you would see the difference in the result. Bake a cake with 20% more flour than you should and it’s going to be dry.

I think calling gemini an alternative to the web has a very limited view of the web. It takes an idea someone has of what the web should be: a set of text documents. That's a very small subset of the web, not just of today.

Building separate protocols for all the various use-cases of the web would be interesting, but would still need some interconnection. But I'm not convinced that has many advantages besides not being accidentally linked to a websited of the "Old web." A problem that could be reduced by a browser extension that strictly blocks any external urls and javascript.

Are heat-seeking missiles going to be a thing of the past at some point? With all the advances in computer vision and object recognition, I would think that if you have the money to make a missile that you would also have the money to put a camera on it for recognizing what a target looks like. Or am I oversimplifying this?

True yeah. Seems like the simplest to start with would be one more dimension though. I don't know enough about string theory to know why they always add so many more dimensions. Seems a bit data-fit-oriented but maybe short-sighted. I mean it's likely, like the OP article linked here sort of indicates, there's some sort of symmetrical structure. So maybe an electron moves through one or two other dimensions. But yeah, maybe string theorists know stuff I don't.
There is at least one bug in the Movitz compiler, It won't correctly compile a simple loop expression, I spent a fair bit of time trying to fix it.

> “Railroad crossing deaths in the U.S. have come down from 786 in 1975 to 315 in 2001. ... I think this was largely due to the U.S. government’s rail-highway crossings program which since 1978 has injected $4 billion into crossings improvements"

Cars have become a lot safer in that time. And the number of crossings changed by a factor of 0.68. Both of these could account for the reduction in railroad crossing deaths.

I wonder the same thing too!

Better models.

And arguably there's value though in looking at the patterns in the history of science and being guided by them.
Look at some of the narrow band radio standards. P25 standards are not freely available, but DMR standards can be freely downloaded from ETSI [1]. P25 with 56-bit DES is well and truly broken, but I gather 256-bit AES is still okay. Also look at the signal protocol?

I don't know who told you that, but they were weirdly confused.

The bitcoin whitepaper told them that, in more than one place too, so it's not a simple typo, e.g.

>It’s not meant to “get traction” in the Silicon Valley sense of “everyone must use this or there is DOOM”, it’s meant to be useful for the communities that use it.

If you're building a protocol that enforces certain strict standards, like in this case being text only because the internet is 'bloated' according to the author, then the only point of having it is adoption beyond your community.

If all you want to do is communicate with ardent non-bloat advocates you can already do this on the regular internet, because everyone in that community does it voluntarily already

There's no point in codyfing standards for a community that follows your standards to begin with

> wild, natural countryside in Donegal, Ireland, where my grandparents are from

> Hello- I am writing because I heard about your photo program. I am in Pelican Bay SHU Short Corridor. I’ve been held in isolative conditions for 17 years. The image I would like is of Northern Ireland. Specifically Donegal. Any image of the wild, natural country there in donegal would be cherished. My grandparents and great grandparents are from there. Their stories of the place remain forever entrenched in my imagination and minds eye. I never took the time to seek out images of that far away land but, since being buried in SHU, I have longed to see it. I once had a dream of Donegal in which I was walking, barefoot, across the grass. I could literally feel the cool blades between my toes. As I woke, in my windowless cell, I felt a palpable sense of loss. It felt like I was underwater and drowning. In the waking moment I realized I’d be wading through time for the rest of my life. So, my request to you is for an image or photo of this beautiful land that haunts my dreams. I also want to thank you for your innovation. You’ve given choice to men who have lost the ability to choose. So thank you... With Respect, Patrick

With the utmost respect to you and the other commenters here, when I see positivity about the abstract, hypothetical technical merits of something with a long history of, in practice, being part of an extremely controversial power play it reminds me a lot of the comments I see promoting a widely installed piece of process management software — one which a lot of people don’t really want, whose subtle changes to layers of abstraction introduce new and unexpected bugs that can only be fixed by further coupling, and which can also be reasonably described as a single entity politically maneuvering itself to bring order to the chaos at the expense of living in, for want of a better term, a dictatorship.

This would be interesting for a terminal based web alternative. A practical use would be something like O'Reilly's Safari Books Online.

The author mentions that fancy Gemini reader apps could allow linking to images, since that some terminals allow images to be displayed[1] that would fit nicely too.

Why not just use text based websites and something like w3m? Well it's hard to tell when opening a link in the terminal will be useful and when it would be better to open the link in a "real" browser like Firefox.

e.g. after a git push to github I'm provided with a link to create a PR. I really when I click that link I really want it to open in Firefox.

[1] Off the top of my head Kitty and iTerm2 both allow image display from apps such as the ranger file manager.
Recent work from Berkeley on AnnaDB and Martin Kleppman’s OLEP stuff is a complete opposite of this idea. Something along the lines of - databases are just a queue topology with synchronization.

Queues do definitely seem like a more fundamental primitive.
Voice compression interacts unfavourably with general-purpose encryption because one can still infer periods of silence and distinguish low-complexity sounds from high-compexity ones. A rolling "r" compresses badly, a long featureless vowel compresses well. That way you can infer all kinds of information about whats being said, who is saying it, language, reaction, pauses, etc.

So for voice encryption, you need to obscure all that through artificial jitter and noise, and lack of compression in strategic places. It is a complex topic and I'm not sure the science is settled beyond "skipping compression helps".

The value of a university education (in many fields, anyway) is in the degree. It’s the signal to employers that you made it. People who drop out in 4th year, even if they’re only one credit away from receiving their degree, are worth far less in the eyes of the employer, despite having passed all but one of the same courses as a grad. This isn’t what you’d expect if every course a person passed contributed a bit of value for the knowledge it imparted. Nope, for the employer it’s all about who crossed the finish line and checked off the box.
Just to clarify slapping a queue on a database is still a bad idea IMO
Binary attachments were somewhat fiddly in Usenet, AIUI? I don't think MIME/8-bit clean support was really consistently there at the time. In Gemini, you'd just serve it as a binary file.

Recall the early 1990's when PowerPC dinged the Pentium for being a 16W TDP part

PowerPC...

Up until the series 9672 (1994) when IBM changed from bipolar to CMOS mainframes had water cooled CPUs (although the ES/9000 had air cooled options). Water cooling returned as an option with the zEnterprise in 2010 and the zEC12 CPU made it mandatory a few years later. These were not 16W parts. Not even 160W.

I used sets of flat JSON files as our "database" in the Wunderlist iOS and macOS clients.

Worked like a charm, never had a problem with it.

It was actually put in as a placeholder until we had time to think about a real storage solution, but it turned out we never needed anything more sophisticated, and were actually the fastest and most reliable clients we had. In fact, every time I encountered a performance problem I was hopeful that I would finally have a good reason to do that real implementation, but it invariably turned out to be a simple bug.

- Cocoa has -writeToFile:atomically:, which writes a new file and then renames, so no write-corruption

- We were lucky that lists had just the right granularity for a single file to be read/written atomically

- We likely wrote (quite) a bit more data than absolutely necessary, but I/O tends to have large fixed overheads so medium files tend to take around the same time as small files

- We did not do anything with the data on disk except read it, so not a DB

- We really did use files, not JSON strings inside SQLite

- We flushed to disk asynchronously, but as quickly as possible
I can't begin to describe how much I used to dread when the batteries would begin to get depleted which would slow down the motor turning the cassette and distort the sound being produced.
I think you might be underselling the total paradigm shift that is the internet.

Nothing that came before it really compares when it comes to impact on education, except for maybe the printing press, but in many ways that probably strengthened university's grip on education. The internet does the opposite.
