I am nowhere near the fashion industry, but my kneejerk reaction is that the industry might be slow to adopt technology because they don't have that much to gain.

If they are very familiar with still photographs and (I assume) can somewhat predict how still photographs will be perceived by the market, what is the incentive to switch to something new?

As a consumer, my guess would be that a video or 3D display would not create a huge spike in revenue. In fact, if done poorly I could even see it having the opposite effect.

So what is the incentive to invest time and money into switching to something new and risky?

CGI models however seem to be a different story. The cost saving aspect is clear cut and I as the consumer likely won't even realize anything has changed.
Nvidia's stock is in a massive bubble, so an all-stock transaction is a no brainer here. They will be getting ARM for free.

Design thinking- how to come up with good ideas
> Unless they want confiscatorily high tax rates in the future they should step up now.

This sounds like a threat. The government is not going to pay for their spending with higher taxes. They are going to inflate it away.
These kinds of layouts were incredibly common on the web by late 90s already. I remember wondering back then why all the desktop UI frameworks (it wasn't just Tcl!) have such flexible and powerful layouts, but HTML/CSS does not, even though it would obviously help solve a very common need.
I might be missing something but there is no about us or any other page to tell what this is about. There is also no product demo, just a login and sign up page. Do you think any users will sign up to use your service and provide you with personal information without knowing what they are signing up for ?
Needs some sort of a demo or screenshot before I would consider signing up. Even better, let people lurk (read without creating an account) before joining.

Well, of course, that's the case for big corpo; but being a small startup with _limited_ budget, I think the bill can scale up pretty quickly.

Hopefully not, though, I truly like the product.
I worked at FB London in 2016-2017, on the Workplace team. It was not like the OP describes. It was great, everybody was super smart and hard working, velocity was significantly higher than any other job I had (incl. my own startup). I easily learned the most at FB in my career (I was ~35 then). I always recommend everybody to apply/interview at FB/G because it's such a great oppty to see a "spaceship" from inside, set your own expectations wrt velocity and impact going forward, and just learn a lot. I'm still playing by the "FB playbook" today.

I left bc I didn't like London, I didn't like the DE role, and I can make a lot more money in Dubai (higher comp, no taxes, low cost of living, high conveniance and luxury).
Speaking of Werner Vogels, have you seen this blog post on DistSys reading? https://www.allthingsdistributed.com/2012/12/paper-readings-...
From me, it's sarcastic. I've done pretty well doing the exact opposite of each of those points.

On the other hand, that's a collection of suggestions I've seen often here on HN.
Hats off to you. Too overkill for my current note-taking habits, but Dendron looks great.
Have you looked at a solution for controlling the power on/off yet? This was something I was considering to do with a Raspberry PI and a relay and I figure it is the final part of the solution for when the machine inevitably crashes. Admittedly if its just across the room it was less of a concern but I have had the need to restart while I was away before and it would be nice to be part of the solution.

Why? This is the "hard skills are real, soft skills aren't" dynamic I see so often (Hello, I'm the PM in a room full of Engineers).

Your first mistake is that teaching itself is very personalized and varies wildly from family to family. If we're willing to accept the premise that there are some commonalities among families from the same culture, then how they teach social skills important to that culture would likely be at the top of the list of things that would exist
Even their App Store description is vague. It seems like some kind of forum?

> Or Nvidia raises the license fees to crazy levels

ARM was founded as a joint venture between Apple and Acorn, and Apple funded, helped design, and built their first joint ARM chip (the 610), and the ARMv3 architecture. I'd say they have a special relationship. They're the first licensee and like all the big names (Intel, Nvidia, Qualcomm, Samsung, etc.) have a far more permissive architectural license that allows them to extend the ISA or modify ARM cores as long as they comply fully with the ARM architecture. They also hold a lot of related patents.

So Apple is the last company that should worry about licensing (nothing to lose), or be interested in buying ARM (nothing to gain).

No, it's because Twitter Web removes elements from the DOM when they are far from the viewport.

There are two ways you can see it:

1. Open a DOM debugger, select an element in a tweet, scroll down. Eventually the element disappears.

2. In Firefox, scroll down, right click, "Take a screenshot", "Complete page". You'll see tweet far from the viewport, as well as header and sidebars are invisible.

The motivation is probably to make it faster, but it's unclear to me why removing (and later re-adding) elements in Javascript would be more efficient than the browser internally dealing with it.
The book “Designing Data-Intensive Applications” by Martin Kleppman is a fantastic read with such a concise train of thought. It builds up from basics, adds another thing, and another thing.

I kept asking myself, what would happen if I were to extend on the feature currently presented in the chapter I was reading, only to find out my answers in the next chapter.

Brilliant book

Hm. I recently bought a Garmin Inreach Mini (satellite emergency communication device), intending to use it for some long backcountry hiking/backpacking trips I'm planning on taking.

Really hope this isn't effecting their emergency service/emergency communication devices. Subscription management, at a minimum, was via the Garmin website.
Interesting article. I wonder what is really happening.

Looking at moves by Chinese vendors and others, I'm going to hypothesize that ARM said to itself:

"We can't compete with 'free' and RISC-V is 'good enough' that its going to wipe out the commodity micro-contoller licensing stream that is over 50% of our revenue. That means we won't have the resources to invest in designing higher end features in the high margin parts and we're going to die. We should sell now, take our cash, and let the buyer eat the future losses."

I don't know of course. I'm an outsider like most people. But I have been part of, and then watching the semiconductor industry since about 1984.I was personally on the "inside" at the development of the SPARC architecture, and watched it grow, and die, as it was mismanaged by Sun. And I've been associated with American high tech companies for more years than I care to remember :-) and have seen a bit about how such companies survive, grow, and fail to grow. A common theme is that there is a "cash cow", a product that has exceptionally high margins relative to its "class" and that revenue funds the R&D that does the "innovation" work. These businesses live or die on finding "the next thing" before their cash cow dies. Failing to find that thing, as SGI did, as Sun did, and as I think Google is in the process of doing, starves the company of the cash to pay the innovators as they focus more and more on keeping the cash cow alive for longer and longer. The company essentially morphs from a mission of doing cool new things, to one that is preserving the 'one thing' at all cost. That thing eventually dies in spite of their efforts and what is left of the company is bought by a healthier company for its assets and maybe a couple of its projects that were cool, but not good enough to replace the cash cow.

If I am correct, this is the right move for ARM, and a really risky buy for anyone who would buy them now. A smart buyer, knowing how this will evolve, will wait for the desperation to set in so that they have maximum leverage in the acquisition.

And another thing that will be true (if I am guessing correctly here) is that RISC-V is going to really take off and have lots of people making them for cheap.
Here are a few interesting pieces in Rails specifically:

- https://github.com/hopsoft/stimulus_reflex is inspired by Phoenix LiveView and is getting a bit of traction around me

- https://github.com/hopsoft/cable_ready is a companion project

- https://github.com/discourse/message_bus by Sam Saffron from Discourse is a nice way to implement live updates too, quite easily (video demo at https://twitter.com/thibaut_barrere/status/12565974431075860...)

- https://lamby.custominktech.com is a Rails + AWS Lambda integration which is also gaining a bit of traction

I also see interesting stuff in Ruby more generally these days:

- my own https://www.kiba-etl.org (data processing framework) is growing nicely

- https://sidekiq.org is very solid and used in most Rails app I've seen

- https://github.com/contribsys/faktory allows interop-jobs (e.g. create from Ruby, consume from something else), which is also interesting

- https://github.com/oracle/truffleruby is making very good progress

Just a few cherry-picked links, but I definitely think there are some nice evolutions going on in the Ruby world (speaking as someone also using Elixir in production!).
It's kind of striking how much faith they used to put in the power of climate to affect health. Histories of the period very frequently include people moving specifically because they are told the climate will improve their health. I wonder if there was anything to it or if it was the equivalent of a fad diet.
FWIW I don't think "Ceasefire" is a good name. It implies the preexistence of a war (though not a literal one). And it focuses on the cessation of hostilities, as opposed to a name which focuses on the act of debating from a position of mutual respect and intellectual integrity.
My personal view is that, for the next few years, no. There are some pretty critical features that RISCV is missing that makes ARM what it is today and so very prolific in your phones and desktops and even, recently, servers. Many hypervisor or virtualization and to some extent security extensions just aren't there for RISC-V, and on top of that, the software ecosystem isn't really all there yet for high performance.

Currently though, RISC-V already is ingrained heavily in the embedded and IoT space and growing astronomically. That's where ARM is losing heavily, although in my opinion, the embedded space wasn't the money maker anyways for ARM
Yeah that's true. I stopped thinking about the Pi Zero W early in the project because I assumed it would choke on video encoding. When I discovered that the HDMI dongle was doing the heavy lifting, I forgot to revisit that assumption. I'm going to order an USB to micro-USB adaptor to test it out because it would slim things down significantly.
What if it gets acquired by a Chinese fund/conglomerate?
It worked out pretty great for them, everyone else though... not so much. The bankers got to enjoy inflated profits and bonuses for years knowing that the government would step in when things eventually blew up.

Privatizing the gains and socializing the losses is a playbook the tech giants are all too happy to keep pushing as long as the government allows them to.
Have you tried the always on? I find it very productive. The difference is, it's muted when not actively discussing, so you get the presence without the distraction.

> I also suspect that if you do the simple calculation "excess mortality minus confirmed COVID deaths", this will be an overestimate, because many COVID deaths are misclassified as something else, e.g. pneumonia.

I think it depends on the country - a lot of countries are labelling any deaths with COVID symptoms as COVID (even though the symptoms are common to other illnesses like the flu).

In these countries it will likely be an overestimate.

> In Slovakia, the total mortality this year is lower than in the comparable period during previous years.

Yes, COVID has been fairly benign in a lot of countries and a massive killer of the old in others.
I believe Resque was fork based (at least initially, it may have changed, I haven't looked at it in a while!), while GoodJob appears to be multithreaded (like Sidekiq), so this is quite different in terms of performance & throughput.
Heard this feedback from a few folks and definitely agree. How do you think I should differentiate the paid vs free option?
Intel has quite a record on screwing up anything ARM related. They bought StrongARM from Digital, then tried manufacturing their own ARM based chips (XScale) for around five years, to finally sell the whole business to Marvell.

On top of that, their mobile business lines are and have always been weak.
It's weird how questions of "is what we're doing, wrong?" can be so easily and inevitably obliterated by the profit motive.
It has been stated many times that if today's copyright laws had been in effect 200 years ago, US libraries would never have been allowed to exist. This situation looks to me like a fresh attempt by the beneficiaries of copyright law to destroy libraries in general; not just the IA.

Between this fiasco and paywalls around scientific literature, it's becoming impossible for me to see publishers as anything other than cat-stroking Bond villains.

Sidekiq is one of the best pieces of software I have ever used.
It's not based on protobuf. There's some in-house tooling that checks the schemas of producers against consumers against known versions (aka the versions in production), and we run it as part of the CI.

Since services implement standard components/protocols there are standardised hooks to extract these schemas definitions from each HTTP endpoint or Kafka consumer.
Actix had a major rewrite when it moved from old futures to new async/await model, so for a while there was a big difference between released/stable 0.x version and new shiny/dev 1.x version. Now it has mostly settled down.

That's only because they have been dominated by Western culture.

> IPv6 is great if you control lots of components that need to talk to one another.

And that's the fallacy. Those things don't need to talk to each other (my toaster doesn't need to talk to your fridge), they do talk to a well defined peer (gateway, server, whatever). There might be someday more than a few billion networked things out there, but there won't be even remotely a billion gateways on the Internet in the foreseeable future.

Enterprises generally don't like outside elements access elements within their network at will. That's not going to change, it will always be through some form of gateway.
> there are some commonalities among families from the same culture

My exact point is this: I can't think of any commonalities for "(teach the kids) how to control anger", not for my culture at least. Maybe Inuit people are different.
> So long as whoever is buying ARM is legally mandated to provide licenses

Why would they? With Intel, AMD, IBM with PowerPC, etc. CPU ISAs are not a monopoly.

Whoever buys ARM might want to do that to start cranking up licensing fees, and might not give a damn if this results in customer loses.
don't differentiate, just make it a free trial
I want to be careful here, as I respect that you worked at AWS (that is, most likely), while I never have, and don't know what goes inside the company.

But it would be helpful if you broke that down a little more than 'trawling customer data', because at the most innocuous, if they're just looking at what's publicly selling on Amazon, what goes into sales rank, that seems acceptable, to me anyway.

Why should it seem strange? If you own stock I can lend it and sell it outright, and as long as I buy it back and provide it to you at the exit of the deal everything fine.

If you own a book and I buy it but under a deal that defines you should keep it locked up in a safe. I still own it and have the right to lend it out digitally under CDL, yet it's physically with you. Why is it strange to forgo that madness and just let me provide digital lending services on your behalf? I mean just because it's my lending system doesn't mean I should need to own everything that's being lend out. Amazon doesn't have to own everything they sell.
This is an interesting concept however I think it is priced too high. I also agree with others that it would be helpful to see what it looks like before signing up. Good luck!

"Explicitly constraining and mitigating certain categories of complexity was likely to pay off in the medium and long term."

100 million % correct. It boggles my mind when I am hired onto projects to help "bring them to prod" only to find out the past several years the coding was primarily done by college grads and relative beginners.

Ideally you get to rely on experts for the entirety of a project, but if your budget doesn't allow for it, at minimum I think it's early in the project that you want EXPERTS. You don't bring in experts and expect miracles after all the bad decisions have already been made and committed to.
I could see all of that stuff (Garmin Instinct) until the app refreshed, and it all disappeared. Now only shows my steps and calories.
