> the 'legacy' code has way more knowledge embedded in it than it might seem.

Cannot agree more, but when knowledge embedded only in the code and not in comments/commits and documentation it is a problem even if you don't plan for re-write.

It is very disappointing to hear from otherwise good programmers statements like: "good code doesn't need comments (and my code is good)". As a result we have code where some line can captures hours of research and/or discussions, but there are no comments and commit logs are too brief. After a year even an author usually cannot say why it was done this way.
So wait until they publish something and judge that.

By a complete accident I'm in possession of 30ml of sassafras oil. I live in Vietnam and attempted to buy peppermint oil from lazada. Somehow, Google translate translated the product "sassafras oil" to "peppermint oil" and I didn't look closely enough at the tiny picture of leaves on the bottle. I was quite surprised when it arrived and after some research I found out it's illegal to sell in most countries. I was wondering what to do with it - maybe I'll make some Cronk.
> As lockdowns started, the most alarming projections had us cycling it on and off periodically. Not going cold turkey on all human interaction for the long haul.

The projected initial period of lockdown before going into cycling was longer than even the places that locked down early and reopened late had it, and that was assuming coordinated national response not many places not initially participating in the lockdown.

Their cousin, I recently found out, spent £400 on Roblox tat after taking their parents credit card. Now the excuse can never be I didn't know, which is what their cousin said, even though she had taken the card and used the details, as opposed to it already being registered and the child just clicking 'buy' with no awareness.

First of all, congratulations on shipping a decent, polished Android app! These increasingly seem to be a rarity these days.

Regarding the subscription model, the monthly price quickly adds up, especially for users outside the US. For example, one of the most common apps in my country offers a pro subscription for a yearly price of $3, compared to a minimum of $24 ($2 * 12) in GitJournal (and this would be on top of whatever I'm paying for my desktop note-keeping app...). I would suggest that you review the pricing for low income countries (especially since the regionalized "go pro" slider UI seems glitchy, eg. I can't reselect the default price, can't select values to the right). A lower yearly subscription or a single purchase option would go a long way towards convincing me to upgrade.

I think not including ads was an excellent choice and I probably wouldn't have continued using the app with them. I was going to suggest hiding the locked pro features to make them less annoying, but upon review it's not that bad.

I'll keep using the app and leave a review on the store later when I gather more thoughts.

In a Javascript ecosystem, WebAssembly and WASI can play a similar role as native DLLs in Python (or also the role native DLLs are playing in the NPM ecosystem). You can load WASM modules from Javascript code, and those WASM modules can interact with the underlying system via WASI.

This enables some new scenarios:

- You want to use an existing library, but this library isn't available in Javascript. Instead of porting the library source code over to JS, compile it to WASM and call into the WASM module from Javascript.

- You've optimized some piece of JS code, but hit a performance or readability wall (often, JS code optimized for performance is much less readable than "idiomatic" JS). You can port the code to C and compile to WASM instead, this might push the wall a little bit further (not as far away as native code would allow, but often quite close).

The main advantage of WASM+WASI over native DLLs is that they are OS and CPU independent. You don't need a DLL built for each possible OS+CPU combination, instead just compile once to a WASM module.
Although the nominal power is standardised, for a variety of reasons the actual voltage of your supply will vary within agreed ranges (and this is true elsewhere). Frequency shouldn't change because it's a problem for the power plants if they can't agree on frequency.

Having three phase transmission isn't weird, it's the three pole single phase. There's no reason to do that except it's too late to change it now.

The argued upside seems to be that it makes household electrical systems less dangerous (reduced voltage). But if you care about that you'd design the rest of the system to be less dangerous as they did across Europe. For example, obviously the last few millimetres of the live pins of a plug should be insulated, you don't need them to conduct power and a human might touch them, so insulate them.

The point wasn't that these higher power sockets aren't standard (the NEMA standard is rubbish but it's a standard) but that they are literally less common.

I’ve seen a similar narrative to that, I believe the story was that you have to packetize and normalize the audio on entropy before encrypting it.

Says if you don’t and simply XOR an audio with PRNG output, the resultant entropy will not be constant and transmission sounds like a noisy radio. Something like that.

There’s a pretty good chance your monitor is too low and your keyboard too high relative to one another. Make sure it’s comfortable to type and that you can look directly forward at your monitor while doing so rather than looking downward, which induces slouching and curling your shoulders, which in turn makes it more difficult to sit upright.

Make sure your desktop is at the right height for you to sit with leg joints at right angles rather than adjusting yourself or your chair to a desk that’s at some “standard” height.

That's nonsense. Take a moment to breathe. Think about just typical https, when you request some nytimes.com content that is actually being delivered to you througha bunch of intermediaries. So, by your logic any of those could just change that content. But it turns out, this was a problem solved like 50 years ago. With https, the content is signed by some key that you trust to represent nytimes.com.

Sidenote (this is really not targeted at the specific comment): Is there some site where people actually have a clue? On any topic that I have any passing knowledge about, HN is just completely spewing nonsense and the worst part about it is that they think they have a clue. I have to assume that HN's comments are just as useless on things that I don't know about.
'more interesting' is a double edge sword: sure it means that you're not obliged to disclose your proprietary code but other contributors can do the same, so it goes nowhere.

I've been thinking about something similar for a while, but kind of disagree with Gemini's scope and implementation. I think that the lack of inline images is too limiting. In my opinion, a good replacement for the WWW should have the following features:

- ToS that strictly prohibits commercial use and advertising. We have the WWW for that, no need to duplicate it.

- Uses HTTPS or something similar. This allows use of efficient servers like Nginx.

- Based on a virtual display with fixed dimensions and orientations, 2-3 aspect ratios and vertical/horizontal orientation. Fixed virtual pixel solution. Every page is fixed in size and in the length of unicode text it can display.

- Uses a structured document format with a limited number of logical tags. The client displays the page as it likes (no styling directives in the document markup). Every page written in this format is compiled into an efficient and compressed binary representation for transmission.

- Limited number of links, overlays, and images per page. Input fields with validation should be allowed. Inline images and movies are limited in size.

I'm planning to implement something like this in my forthcoming virtual Lisp machine (z3s5.com), though it's going to be a bit less general and probably not be based on HTTPS.

So you're Jeremy Howard? Hi. Someone on this thread recommended this article by yourself, on The Conversation, that I managed to miss a couple of months ago (I can't find again the post where the link to the article was given, apologies):

https://theconversation.com/masks-help-stop-the-spread-of-co...

From what I can see in the article, you were first convinced that masks should be worn after watching a youtube video. Then, having been convinced by the video you found more evidence to support your conviction.

I quote from the article:

The research that first convinced me was a laser light-scattering experiment. Researchers from the National Institutes of Health used lasers to illuminate and count how many droplets of saliva were flung into the air by a person talking with and without a face mask. The paper was only recently published officially, but I saw a YouTube video showing the experiment in early March. The results are shockingly obvious in the video.

I have to say, this rings all manner of alarm bells. For example, a video on youtube cannot be seen as evidence of anything, even if it's from the NIH; that video could at best be seen as evidence of a likely mechanism for the spread of the virus, but evidence of a mechanism that could produce an effect is not evidence that the mechanism produces that effect; etc. In short, all this is not "strong science", even if it led to strong convictions.

In any case, we all have to remember -data scientists first of all- that "data science" is not a "science" in the sense that e.g. epidemiology is a science and in a time of a public health crisis, the stage should be left clear for the relevant experts.

I'm using mpv with youtube-dl, too. It's also working on Windows and makes watching videos on dual monitor setups easier. Just place the youtube-dl.exe side-by-side with the mpv.exe.

youtube-dl supports a lot more websites than only YouTube, which makes it (in combination with mpv) a very nice tool that you just put all your videos into.

You can still do a chargeback with a debit card in the UK.

If you have a basic consumer dispute about something (such as a retailer not giving a repair/refund for a faulty item), you should be able to file a chargeback with the card issuer and get a refund.

In the UK, a credit card is much better though, as for any purchase over £100, the card issuer is joinly liable with the retailer for any issues.

Playing devils advocate but if PIA pilots really are that bad why wasn’t the accreditation of the certifying authorities withdrawn long ago?

Lol. Lots of comments getting all huffy at someone daring to look at physics from a humanities perspective.

The basic idea is that the theory was worked out in a certain time and space where the social conditions were suitable to it. And that they form a feedback loop where the theory will reinforce those social conditions.
It doesn't mean that the theory is somehow "wrong", or that the equations don't make useful predictions about observable systems. It really not that esoteric. Nor a threat to any of the science itself.

Really, anyone throwing up their arms in disgust at this article would do well to read up on some basic philosophy of science. Pick up an entry-level college textbook. Hell, just look up the definition of "theory" and really think about it for a few minutes.
