>My point is, "webpage" has evolved the same way as mobile phones, AAA games and buildings - it has more content and features compared to 10 years ago. And there is really no reason or need to making it faster than it is right now (2-3 seconds is a comfortable waiting time for most people).

What features? I don't know anything substantive a site can deliver to me today that it was not capable of 10 years ago. The last major advance in functionality was probably AJAX, but that doesn't inherently require huge slowdowns and was around more than 10 years ago.

The rest of your comparisons are dubious:

>Time taken to do a bank transfer is now 2-3 seconds of bank website load and a few clicks (still much to improve on) instead of physically visiting a branch / ATM.

This is the same class of argument as saying that (per Scott Adams), "yeah 40 mph may seems like a bad top speed for a sports car, but you have to compare it hopping". (Or the sports cars of 1910). Yes, bank sites are faster than going to ATM. Are they faster than bank sites 20 years ago? Not in my experience.

>Time taken to start editing a word document is now 2-3 seconds of Google Drive load instead of hours of MS Office Word installation.

Also not comparable: you pay the installation MS Word time-cost once, and then all future ones are near instant. (Also applies to your Skype installation example.)
> This is actually the first I've heard anyone mention the simple method of using the electric trim to fight MCAS until reaching a neutral trim and only then hitting CUTOFF, but would this still work if you were already at max trim and heading nose down toward the water?

Yes, and it did indeed work. The pilots, though, did not cut off the stab trim.

> This method seems to depend on the electric trim being fast enough to fight MCAS to a neutral or near neutral trim even from a maxed trim stab position. Is it fast enough to do that?

Yes, and it doesn't "fight" MCAS. It overrides it electrically in hardware (not software).

> I'm less sure about your method of just electric trimming to neutral and then hitting CUTOFF because the electric trim adjustment would have to be fast enough to overcome the MCAS counter-adjustments. Surely electric trim would not have been designed for such a race.

I'm sure about it. The electric trim moves just as fast as the MCAS would, because the trim is electrically ON or OFF. There's no speed control on it. It's not a race, either. The electric trim switches are between the MCAS and the motors, they override it.

Furthermore, in the LA flight before the LA crash flight, the same problem happened. The pilots restored trim and hit the cutoff switches, and landed safely. The mystery to me was why that airplane was allowed to take off again before being repaired.

> And also that seems like such an obvious thing to do even if you haven't read the airworthiness directive you cite. Something is messing with the trim. There is a button that adjusts trim ffs. Why not try to just hold it down? Even a child might think of that simple solution. But these pilots didn't? Some of them were even experienced.

Exactly, and that's what the pilots did in the first non-crashing incident.

> Probably the Ethiopian pilots were unaware of the airworthiness directive

Yup, and that was a contributing factor to the crash.
It certainly depends on the type of mask. N95 and higher (N99, N100, and similar) provide, in my view, adequate protection for the wearer. There are plenty of other parameters though, eg. proximity and time near others, the size of the room you're in and its circulation. But as example, I feel comfortable wearing N95 while I'm shopping at a super market, and would still feel comfortable if no one else was wearing any mask at all.
MSFS? The flight sim? Will it really not work with an older Windows version? I kinda remember running newer games on XP or Vista with some simple tweaks. It's not like Win10 changed that much for the past year or so.
How many extra tools and runtimes will this require your CI/CD system to have? I'm not sure the complexity is worth it.

iirc, it's just using Terraform behind the scenes anyway. If that is the case, is Pulumi just a glorified transpiler?
Bill Atkinson deserves it. He almost singlehandedly wrote the original Macintosh graphics API, QuickDraw, and also created MacPaint, which defined the UI/UX of the graphical pixel editor. Photoshop is its clear descendant.

The Mac graphics API was interesting, because it was all done in software, as opposed to platforms like the Amiga which relied on graphics hardware. Personally, I think relying on graphics hardware acceleration would have been smarter, as every platform this does now, but it was certainly a bold choice for the Mac.

Atkinson also created HyperCard, which could have been the first web browser had Apple managed it better — Tim Berners Lee references it in his original web proposal document.

It would be interesting to know how many stock options an Apple Fellow receives, and whether it is a one-time award, or continuing.
> You can't refactor your cabin half way through building.

Actually you can. And with the similar ramifications to the project budget and timeline.
Yes, Apple charges a premium over custom building a PC with equivalent parts. Not anything new or shocking there.
My guess? It's doing streaming parsing/processing, so it's network bound.

It started downloading html, once it got the first byte it started processing it, but then it had to wait for the rest of the bytes (not to mention the css file to download).

The parent comment is clearly using some really slow wifi, so I think it's likely that's what happened.
This is true. I've worked as a bartender, and I am all too familiar with the emotional rollercoaster that is bar finances.
> The technical reason is that digital TV is a heavily compressed signal [1] (used to be MPEG2, perhaps they have moved on to h.264) with a GOP (group of pictures) length that is usually around 0.5-2 seconds.

Just because they transmit keyframes and deltas in the steady state doesn't mean they need to wait for the next keyframe when starting the stream. They could also choose to send you the current reconstructed frame as a keyframe immediately instead of waiting several seconds for the next pre-made one. The cost to them would be epsilon (one new stream client per channel to be the source of reconstructed keyframes), and the customer experience difference would be noteworthy.
That sounds like a good business not to have, then.
Ok, we'll change the URL from http://mikepennisi.com/blog/2020/you-may-finally-use-jshint-..., which has the catchy title but is just a summary page, to the post you linked to, which seems to have the most information.

Off-topic side note: Blog post series are a problem for HN because usually only one element in the sequence gets attention, meaning readers only get part of the story. Alternatively, more than one thread gets attention, but then the discussion is split and we run into the problem of follow-up posts [1], i.e. the exponential decay of interestingness under repetition [2]. So from an HN point of view it's best to just make one long article on a given topic—but that's just the local perspective.

I thought the difference is more in how the runtime is structured, i.e. a closure has the ability to make use of the scope in which it's defined in, so that it can make use of variables and functions within it when it's actually called.
Last year was a new peak for housing exuberance. I agree with your decision not to buy then. For those willing and able to hold for a while, buying when the eviction crisis hits its apex is probably going to yield some once in a decade buying opportunities.

I know several people who made out like bandits buying in Florida and Arizona in 2010 and only held for 3-4 years.
I think we're talking past each other. My claim is that if an AGI single-handedly creates a child AGI, in such a way as to know the child's source-code and truthfulness, then the parent is more intelligent than the child (in a certain technical sense).

You rightly point out that an AGI can duplicate itself (if it knows its own source-code). This doesn't contradict my claim, because it doesn't satisfy the premise. It's like if I give you a box of candies and I say, "Every blue candy in this box is round", and you pull out a red candy which is square, you can't say my statement was false because that red candy isn't round. To falsify the statement you'd have to produce a blue candy that isn't round.

The AGI which self-duplicates would only falsify my claim if it self-duplicates in such a way as to know the duplicate's source-code and truthfulness. Assuming said AGI is truthful and satisfies certain assumptions about how it can reason and know, then it can't know its own source-code and truthfulness, so it doesn't falsify my claim.
You can use zoneable paths to break some of the dependencies on roads. And with MoveIt, Anarchy and other mods you can pretty much bend C:S to whatever you want.

Well, with the Steam version anyway. It's the only version that has mods and access to the Steam Workshop with all the community created assets.

For example Sunset Harbor added above ground metro's but the modding community provided a solution years before.

I sure hope they come out with a follow on version that can scale more than the current version but even as it is I love Cities:Skylines!
Launch custom iTerm2 layouts at the speed of light
Nobody who builds an ORM thinks that.

An ORM saves experienced SQL users from having to write boilerplate SQL and hack on their own garbage ORM, which is what any large project ends up doing, attempting to compose queries and filters in vain.

I have never ever heard of ORMs as an argument to avoid learning SQL, and AFAIK no author of well-known ORMs holds that opinion.
I see no need for a standalone Macbook to negatively portray Apple Silcon.

"Macbook" is the heart of the entire PC portable line for Apple. "Macbook"is the grounding of the brand itself.

I think Apple will release the Macbook as the first Apple Silicon machine because of the optics of confidently putting the hardware at the symbolic heart of the entire portable line.

I do not think the 12" that was discontinued should be thought of also as where the machine will be picked up in terms of form factor. This is not how Apple behaves, when tech shifts or they don't like where they left off, they change direction. (i.e. the Mac Pro trashcan -> modern Mac Pro)

Apple Silicon will allow Apple to reintroduce the Macbook as a compelling machine addressing many customer types. This base machine would pave to eliminate the Macbook Air and redesign the Macbook Pro.

With a few models of Macbook and Macbook Pro the portable product line will be simplified and clean up the confusing price / feature / performance comparison problems that exist today.
It's no question that a "real" Unix system is more powerful, but a VPS has been surprisingly usable to me. Many commandline tasks are more enjoyable on the iPad than on my desktop. The rest, I just fall back to my desktop. Try it - you might be surprised how powerful it is.
I don't think tmate allows you to edit text separately, right? It simply allows you to both control the screen.

VSCode Live Share allows users to independently move. So, if you're pair programming and want to check something, you don't need to awkwardly ask to switch files.

I'm thinking about this problem often lately.

Just a few weeks ago I saw a size comparison of React and Preact pages. While Preact is touted as a super slim React alternative, in real-life tests the problem were the big components and not the framework.

This could imply that we need to slim down code at a different level of the frontend stack. Maybe UI kits?

This could also imply that frontend devs simply don't know how to write concise code or don't care as much as they say.
Feel bad for the Lebanese. Can’t catch a break.
My thinking is this is exactly the use-case Apple needs to prove they can compete with and arguably the case where they should shine. With ARM's much better thermal characteristics, Apple should be able to get much better graphics performance.

It's certainly the tougher nut to crack.

As someone rapidly approaching "old", this is the exact mode of thinking I now occupy much of the time. It's awful to think of how many summers I've passed working on code or, worse, powerpoints and documents, in a 71F office.

I know quite a few very senior people who are proper old, and when I mentioned this to one of them, his response was, "at this point I'm glad to be alive, and no one glad to be alive has time for that stuff." This was just before he retired.

One of the neat things about the argument in my paper is that it doesn't involve the parent AGI actually running the child AGI. It merely involves the parent writing source-code and knowing that IF it had enough resources to run the source-code, then the result would be a truthful AGI child.

Well you have to learn the skills to produce the cash crop.. that's what takes a long time. The adage that overnight success takes 10 years. Well that applies to everyone, including academics.
Daily is not really the frequency at which you should need cash. I have an online business which generates a lot of passive revenue. But I have no idea if it makes cash every day. Pretty sure there are many days with zero sales.

But it reliably generates revenue. That’s the important bit. Needing daily cash is actually likely a sign of poor personal cashflow management. You ought to aim to have a buffer such that you could survive with zero cash for a while.

Now, a recurring revenue stream: it’s great! Highly recommended. But daily is not a good requirement.

And something like a bar has downsides:

* takes personal labour to make money

* High operating costs

* requires presence in a location

* currently, subject to pandemic restrictions

Now bars can be a great business! But for a software developer looking to develop a revenue stream, your best bet is....software. Basically zero cost to start. A bar would be a thing to do if you enjoyed it.
There's nothing wrong with understanding rotation matrices as rotations, it's just that in their application it's not the right mental model. Ideally you'll understand both representations and switch between them as needed.
You have him to thank for the iPhone in whole. He ran the team that developed iOS and defined the modern smartphone interface. Literally one of the largest software leadership contributions in history.
this really isnt that far off the mark. lots of Seattle-area folks moving to Leavenworth, and Chelan, driving costs up and grossly overpaying(by locals standards) with cash. Whole new housing developments owned entirely by people from a different county, paying prices way outside what locals can afford.

Its good for me though, my home value has increased significantly with no work from me.
1. I have a lofted bed which frees up like 100 sq ft. This is vital for storage/other space.

2. I sanded outside on my small balcony and wipe the dust with a rag. Cutting the wood was tricky. I put the cats in the bathroom, wore a mask and did it while running my HEPA filter at full speed. Then I vacuumed any dust on the floor with the Roomba. I cut the wood by placing it on a couple sheets of foam insulation, with the blade depth set so that it would not contact the floor.

After cutting, I moved the HEPA filter around my apartment a bit until the air quality sensor went from red (bad air) to blue (good air), and opened the windows. I know this isn't perfect, but I haven't had any coughing fits thus far.

3. I used an oil based finish (OSMO) that is low VOC, pet, food, and human (children) safe. It's not gloopy or wet once applied, just slightly damp. Cats jumped on it a bunch before it had fully cured without any apparent ill effects, on the cats or the desk.

Definitely an "if will, there's a way" kind of endeavor. The desk is perfect for me though. Just the right size, height, and appearance. Trying to build a stool with the scrap wood leftover, but the wood is quite hard to cut with a jigsaw and pretty heavy.
Republican politicians in the 1980s suggested that people with HIV be sent to camps. Under President Trump, the US government separated refugee children from their parents without any plans to reunite them. I think these both qualify as "oppressive."

What is it exactly that the "woke left" does that comes anywhere close? Ask for celebrities to lose their TV shows because they masturbated in front of women they had power over?
Yes. And while I will continue to defend it in case of interactive dashboards, webapps and status screens if you are not writing on of those, you shouldn't be using javascript. If we want to fix the internet, browsers should ask the user for permission for each cookie and javascript should be disabled by default.
I agree with the premise, but it depends on your workplace. I struggle with colleagues who don't even both checking if the spot is available.
Especially when it is personal health data now at risk of being used to subsidize ads?

Advertising is already creepy enough trying to determine when, for instance, someone is pregnant via related purchases (and sometimes guessing correctly ahead of the person's own knowledge, per famous anecdata), just imagine how much more creepy it can get when it is data being sold to advertisers from your own wrist?
My understanding is Dropbox used to first hash file, then see if a copy was already uploaded. That was removed as it was being used for piracy.

Does Dropbox still upload everything, even if the user has uploaded it before?
Does that work on all hardware? I've got laptops, and could maybe use hybrid graphics. I'll look into it, thanks!

Edit: so this doesn't work for muxless laptops (I've looked into it before and forgot). The discrete card runs through the Intel iGPU regardless if hybrid graphics is enabled or disabled.

The vBIOS can't be accessed directly, so it will result in an error. Some people got this working anyway, but it seems that it's unstable and/or results in low performance.
Maybe, but I doubt it.
There is no small group of administrators that meets up to decide what everyone can see. Every instance can on their own decide what they see and what not. The larger community doesn't have a "council of true moderation", most instances just tend to have common rules like "be nice to eachother" and "don't be racist", so the larger network is fairly cohesive.

It's also untrue that an instance you run will be like phpbb, even if you don't get federated by larger mastodon instances, there are plenty of instances that federate with anyone who's not hosting illegal content or spam. And you can join those instances if you don't want to host.

This is free speech as a principle; nobody has to host you and you get an audience of poeple who are willing to listen. Nobody who doesn't want to listen has to listen. That second part is integral in true free speech.

And I would also point out that Mastodon or Pleroma work just fine federating small networks, they don't have to be "censorship networks", which I think is begging the question a bit.
To be "progressive left" is a mental disorder. Seriously, to be like that you need to let go of:

- logical thinking

- knowledge of mathematics,

- believing your own eyes

Instead you need to start believing that:

- government can print money out of thin air

- people can change their gender at whim

- killing people that inconvenience you (unborn, elderly) is good

- black people cannot be racist even when they burn down white people property or simply beat them up in riots organised by BLM
> lol these are Nigerian youths. What does (presumably American) slavery have to do with them?

I am going to answer this question on its own, without any relation to the rest of your comment or the article.

It has something to do with them, because (1) Nigeria was affected by Atlantic slave trade.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_slave_trade#Slave_mar...

And (2) the trauma and the effects of slavery don't just affect those enslaved, but also those left behind. If outer space aliens come to Earth and take half of population with them to their planet, I expect the city not to get back on its feet for a long long time, if ever.

This was a pretty huge explosion. It reminded me of the Thiokol rocket engine factory explosion in Henderson NV.

Given how visible the shockwave is in the videos, I would guess you could get a nominal estimate of the explosion energy by calculating shockwave volume over time. The video rate of the camera would give you time between measurements, and google maps could probably provide the building distances.
This kind of "social media" gives me faith in the ability of humanity to survive and thrive in the future.
