To be clear, I think it's mainly nonexistent if you haven't worked in more powerful languages than Go before. All those people complaining about lack of generics and stuff probably are experiencing that feeling. Go is simple enough that the way you write something is likely to be at least very much along the right track to the the best way you could write it in Go. But that won't necessarily stop you thinking of other ways that just aren't supported by the language.

If your meteorologist didn't want to hold a remote, the weather producer would have to sit in front of the workstation with their hand over the spacebar waiting for the right cues to advance to the next loop/pause point.

At some stations, it wasn't about the talent not wanting to hold the remote, it was about the station not having an engineer on staff who could rig up the remote.

At many stations in the 90's, and even some today, the "remote" is nothing fancier than a garage door opener, with the relays hooked into a breakout box to a DB25 serial port.
The Black Sea was flooded when the narrow section of land the Mediterranean from the sea collapsed (possible origin of Great Flood myths) 12,000 years ago. There are many archaeological sites on the now flooded coast many tells and preserved ships due to the cold, oxygen-free, and salt-free freshwater.

The music industry's culpability in this is even greater than their absurdly litigious approach to intellectual property.

Consider how music videos came to be, in a world where the music industry was struggling to stay relevant in an era of CGI-laden PG-13 Hollywood cinema, arcades, home video, and cable television. Music videos were a way for the music industry to get in on the advertisement and product placement action, from which all the other forms of media were able to profit.

Now that most valuable music today has a very strong brand identity, targeted demographics, a tried-and-true promotional formula, and many times even a full-on music video to go with it, the industry perceives it as a true risk for someone to hear a song and not see the "approved" visuals to go along with that song.
I think you misunderstand me: I very much am in favor of the humanities as a part of a liberal education, I just wouldn't expect a university humanities department to teach me (or my children) much about them. There are exceptions, of course, but we are speaking internet here.

For a general overview of the situation, Allan Blooms "The Closing of The American Mind" covers it far better than I (or almost anyone else) could.

America spends 18% of GDP on healthcare, in the UK its about 9%. Arguably the UK could do with spending more but right now we get broadly similar outcomes for half the spending.
CRTs are "dumb" devices, they literally just amplify the R/G/B analog signal while deflecting a beam using electromagnets according to some timing signals. As far as input lag goes, they're the baseline. For fast motion they have some advantages at leat over poor LCD screens as well, since non-strobing LCDs quite literally crossfade under constant backlight between the current image and the new image; we perceive this crossfading as additional blurring. A strobing LCD on the other hand shifts the new image into the pixel array and lets the pixels transition while the backlight is turned off. The obvious problem - it's flickering.

LCDs that aren't optimized for low latency will generally just buffer a full frame before displaying it, coupled with a slow panel these will typically have 25-35 ms of input lag at 60 Hz. LCDs meant for gaming offer something called "immediate mode" or similar, where the controller buffers just a few lines or so, which makes the processing delay irrelevant (<1 ms). The image is effectively streamed through the LCD controller directly into the pixel array.
Note "open", i.e., unresolved. Perhaps in a less positive light, "how to enabled signed exchanges/AMP without controlling it".
> I love that I know that my client will do nothing I do not tell it to do.

By this line of reasoning, you would have to manually approve every init process that your computer would want to start every time you boot it up.

"images" == "client doing things I don't tell it to do" is completely false. Clients have been built that have configurable policies for loading images and scripts, and they're conceptually very simple and easy to use - e.g. "don't load images by default, click to load temporarily, control-click to load and permanently whitelist" is an example of a user-agent policy that not only supports images, but conforms to your extremely convoluted definition of a user-agent "do[ing] nothing I do not tell it to do."

> requires more requests

Is the purpose of a document browser to minimize requests, or to actually serve useful information? Images can encode data that cannot be encoded in text, and a vast quantity of information is much more easily read and understood in graphical form. If you want to minimize requests, then just don't use the web at all.

Also, this isn't even necessarily the case. You could encode images as part of the page, as base64 or something.

> they are an accessibility nightmare (as we have seen on the web)

The web supports alt-text for images. When people don't provide alt-text, that's not a technical problem, that's a social one.
Until the legal system adjudicates, it is ambiguous what responsibility is borne by the two parties; also unclear are expectations or assumptions regarding accountability, foreseeability, and preventability of actions or effects.

If I could not have reasonably prevented you from running into me, it isn’t my fault that I didn’t avoid it, but it may still be my fault for moving in a manner in which I can’t respond to situations outside my control. Likewise, if could have acted differently to forestall, reduce, or prevent a problem from occurring, and yet I did not act in a way which would avert known unwanted results, I am not necessarily culpable, but I may be found lacking in grounds to blame the other for also not acting differently.

Good Samaritan laws[1] try to embody this implicit social expectation, but enforcement of these laws can lead to its own sort of selective moral policing.[2][3]

Many of these same social undercurrents also seem relevant to the new focus on social justice and cancel culture. It seems that those being judged often feel that they are judged too harshly, and bristle at being judged at all. I hope we can find ways to stop pointing fingers and start linking and building. It’s far easier and quicker to tear down than to build, and its impact is just as fleeting, thus the need for more finger pointing. Outrage is a renewable resource, but we as moral agents are only capable of feeling so much before we become desensitized to it in some way.

I worry that one day people won’t be able to care about bad things happening in the world, because they don’t relate to a shared society at all. I hope for a future society[4] where social and civic participation at the individual level is collaborative and welcomed, and where all perspectives are judged on their merits outside an echo chamber.

There's no guillotine. Aziz Ansari's career is totally fine. The statute of limitations on rape and other sexual assault ranges from 3 to 30 years. It seems completely reasonable to me that Al Franken should continue to have consequences on whose lives he harmed via sexual assault years after doing it. The effects of trauma last a lifetime. I don't understand why we should be sympathetic to one man having his life ruined for credibly also ruining the lives of multiple others.

Regarding the Tamara Harrians situation I don't know anything about it, could you link to another media besides NYPost?
That's the browser's problem. We'll still have a new, simpler protocol which we can use without the web stack.
An In-Depth Look at Developing a Simple Feature with Nodewood
I looked at it and I really dislike some decisions they made. I had a hard time understanding how to write it and IIRC they don't have GPU integration.

Also I find code like this to be anti-ECS https://docs.rs/orbtk-api/0.3.1-alpha2/src/orbtk_api/macros..... They use macros as a workaround for lack of inheritance in Rust. I would not call that ECS.
I personally really like Reuter's stance on WhatsApp, which is that it's not as secure as Signal, so they don't use it anymore. Meanwhile the Guardian is publishing anti-encryption articles and still offering only SecureDrop (overkill and inconvenient for a conversation), encrypted email, and snail mail for anonymous tips and such.
Tinc – A Virtual Private Network (VPN) Daemon
That is a very succinct way of expressing the same idea. Many AI researchers understand this. Note that, unlike human beings, the experience that AIs are accumulating via interactions with the real world will be digitally saved and gradually accumulated, and built upon, bit by bit, such that over time, AIs will be able to draw on the accumulated experience of many prior AIs. We can already see this happening today, for example, with the wide availability of pretrained vision and language models that incorporate the experience of AIs developed and trained by others in the past.
+1 I appreciate your answer!
Sorry about that! I realized after I posted that it was probably not the right way to describe the article.
One possible reason it might have seemed slightly more useful in its time is that many books much bigger than what we expect today. I've seen some books from the 13th century that are over 20 inches across when open and quite heavy and I don't think those books were particularly large. (Codex Gigas is over 40 inches across when opened and weights 150 pounds, but is probably the largest book we know of.) Having 8 books of 24 inches across open next to each other would take 16 feet or so of linear space. In the drawings it doesn't look big enough to handle these large books unless it was made slightly wider.

Of course your objections are probably very much why it was never built until now. :)
Yeah capturing context is bad.

I think that we need more time to explore this. It took the OOP GUI frameworks a long time to mature.
>"community driven"

This concern has been raised time again with every major Google open-source project e.g. Android, Chromium, Golang etc. and that concerns have helped improve certain aspects of the project.

But, I wonder whether a huge corporate like Google can build such large scale projects without such criticism, if the the project needs to be successful they to gain from it after-all they are investing their employees and other resources in it. And them being invested in it, is a major reason for adoption by other parties and resulting in a successful open-source project.

More over, such large projects have helped overall SW ecosystem and even startups economically. I for one would say, without such large open-source projects I wouldn't have even been able to build products from a village in India and compete with products from valley.

All I'm saying is, them being open-source at least helps us raise concerns and make them take actions; being a complete walled garden and just asking to 'trust us' is much worse.

> there is always a singular absolute truth. Something that can be objectively stated...

In incredibly simple scenarios perhaps, but for most things it seems to me that there are simply too many interrelated variables and perspectives involved for a "single truth" (that is perceivable by a human mind) to exist, let alone be communicated with high fidelity. And this is even if one assumes that we are aware of and able to accurately measure all the relevant variables, which is not even close to true.

> If something is not private enough for a group of random people to review then it is not private enough for the wider public either.

The possibility of jurors disclosing sealed evidence does not negate the importance of the jury process, or of sealing evidence from public disclosure. It is still valuable to take these steps, even if fewer than 100% of participants adhere to the rules.

> It should be public and uncensored so that the public knows about the full extend of data leakage and can act accordingly.

I disagree. If medical records are leaked, they should not be treated as "public and uncensored". If criminal records are sealed and then leaked, they should not be treated as "public and uncensored". If the home address and work phone number of every citizen is leaked, that should not be treated as "public and uncensored". The public does not need comprehensive access to the data that was leaked in order to grasp "the full extent of data leakage". It is absolutely essential that a dependable third party review that data set — I trust HaveIBeenPwned, and I mostly trust press reporters — but their summary is generally quite sufficient without having them republish all of that data for anyone to review.

> They can just use normal cameras then.

Per your statement, bodycam footage should be disclosed publicly regardless of content, which would require legal protections against anyone suing to have footage taken down. Use of normal cameras would not provide such legal protections. This is not a valid equivalence to consider.

Another 4 year original SE user here, which is what I’m swiping this message from. Still going strong, no lag. Decided I’m upgrading before I need to with the 5.4” iPhone 12 this year.

Only issue I had was the battery going to 1% quickly and then lasting half a day, but that seemed to clear itself too with a few full run downs.

Apple absolutely dominates mobile devices from a longevity and usability standpoint. I left Android long ago and never looked back. I’m not all in though, never was convinced by macOS, Windows is just too customizable and useful.
Here's what I like to do on my server(s) in cron, which pulls my keys from github:

@hourly <username> ssh-import-id gh:<github username>

If I lose my keys to this host, I can simply update github.com with my new ones and go to lunch. I'll be able to login again shortly.

And on all of my hosts:

@reboot <username> ssh-import-id gh:<github username>

This is REALLY helpful on devices like raspberry pi, where they may stay shutdown / offline for years. The minute they're powered up again they'll get my fresh keys and I can login to them without needing a console.

It depends. The site is offered to EU residents, and the data gathered from EU residents may be shared with companies which do operate in the EU. I can see how this may circumvent the aims and goals of the GDPR and negatively impact EU citizens and residents. I don’t know if the site is liable for any of this, but it seems to be more than merely a hypothetical concern.
The attenuation you seem to be banking on only happens if there is selective pressure toward it. The selective pressure is usually a product of "too deadly or too strong a response prevents the host from spreading" so weaker strains that let the host spread more win out in a game theoretical sense by out-competing. This is not a likely force in this case--this is already spreading really really effectively, so I think the force behind attenuation is missing and your assumption is entirely faulty.

> So far more people have died than WWII.

> What the fuck???

You are right on this one, bad bad misquote on my part.
If truth didn't exist, we wouldn't be able to communicate with each other. Language would be meaningless like a randomly generated sequence of words conforming to a grammar.

There would be no measure of consistency between statements, and there would be no predictable link to empirical observations. Without truth, our species would never have developed language in the first place, because what's the point in evolutionary terms?

Speaking always means to make a commitment at least to some degree. That doesn't mean it's always possible to establish the truth value of everything that's being said or that someone must always be right and someone else must always be wrong.
This is Japan, not the US. People in Japan don't balk at every regulation and are generally pretty accepting of putting rules in place in public spaces if it improves quality of public life, which is true for people in most cities on the globe to be honest.

Actually thanks, that's very clear at that level, however that leads to a further confusion (of mine) about what speed implies, that being that the electron is moving (obviously) from x to y, which apparently contradicts the probability cloud concept of probabilities of a position at instant x, and only for that instant.

That is, if it's moving from x to y (because it has speed) then it's more likely to appear on some vector between x and y.

Please feel free not to answer that question, as I may drag you down the rabbit hole - but if you can, I'd love to know.
Maybe not with current production cars, but there is plenty of available technology that would allow for it.

Show HN: A joyful blog about web automation
In the last few years the scene of Web Automation has received a surge of attention from the software industry, and that is not without reason.
Reliability is a must for both new-found companies and large enterprises alike.Applications are more interactive and a fair amount of times frontend heavy, meaning that they are responsible for orchestrating lots of different actors.Manual repetitive tasks and testing is still proving to be a real pain when trying to move fast.
All of the above (and tons more) appear to be fair reasons to invest in the skills, technologies and methodologies that revolve around web automation.
