addendum: So I think there is also room for more languages that compile to C++, and live within its ecosystem rather than fragmenting it.

The "History of Clojure" paper has a nice view on that. Why Clojure is tied to the JVM. So it's part of the ecosystem rather than fragmenting it.

I think some boxes advertise that, but how much does it help? On an analog TV you could be switching channels at a rate of say 3-4 per second while still registering the channel logos and stopping on the right one (by going one back immediately). One receiver in either direction isn't going to keep the charade up. Some cleverness, like decoding adjacent channels, but if the user switches a channel down, have the "up" decoder jump to the 2nd channel down in anticipation of the user going another channel down etc., might help, but still. You can't feasibly emulate the channel agility (across ~800 channels on satellite) of an analog RF receiver in a digital system with a modulation that has a self-synchronisation interval of up to a few seconds.

> you could send keyframes more often, or you could even use a totally different compression scheme that didn't use keyframes.

GOP length / I-frame interval directly relates to bitrate. Longer GOPs generally result in a lower bitrate at similar quality; in DVDs or Blu-rays I believe the GOPs can be quite long (10+ seconds) to achieve optimum quality for the given storage space.

Non-predictive video codecs are usually pretty poor quality for a reasonable bitrate (like a bunch of weird 90s / early 00s Internet video codecs), or near-losless quality but poor compression (because they're meant as an intermediate codec).
Possibly because windows offers sandbox capabilities as well, and breaking out of that would be classified as a jailbreak.

Even if someone at Microsoft got overzealous (or a third party reported it), the software is literally designed to find and quarantine exploits (which a jailbreak is), and there are ways to bypass it even if it wasn't apparently reversed later. The item detected is an exploit, just for a different system. It's exactly the sort of false positive I would expect, and the fact that you can work around it without major issues (whether through a special download folder you create and mark as not scanned immediately or temporarily disabling it) is exactly what I would expect.

It's sort of like if you owned a furniture store, and have a security guard to watch it. One night after hours, some guys in street clothes show up in a truck and loiter for a bit before going in the back and starting to take some furniture to the truck. Sure, these guys are your cousins, and are doing stuff on your behalf, but does the guard know that? Did you tell the guard? Would you rather the security guard go stop everything immediately and call you to confirm what's going on, or just shrug and say "eh, it's probably fine"? You're paying them to stop bad stuff, you should expect them to stop bad stuff, and when they find false positives that look like the real thing, that should be reassuring that they're doing their job, not grounds for dismissal.
> Erdogan used the growing economy to win the secular base

There was a brief moment back in 2007-2008 where they used the brilliant neo-liberal ideas to impose the ottoman narrative of "ataturk did bad" and it worked! Rich liberals swallowed up the new narrative like flies on feces. This was the time of the kurdish initiative where there was a cease-fire and liberal artists and leaders who supported the government went over to the kurdish side asking them about their motives while armed resistance grew by at least 5-fold. This quickly ended in the government bombing resistance forces and the neo-liberal agenda died right there and then. Very sad times.
To me increasing tendency of Boeing to crash is evidence that safety is not where our real preferences lie.

To me increasing tendency of junk stocks getting AAA rating is evidence that profitable investment is not where our real preferences lie.

To me increased prevalence of obesity and heart disease is evidence that staying healthy and alive is not where our real preferences lie.
If Apple/Phil Schiller are not that good in marketing, who is good for you personally?
There's nothing left to worship, so you're seeing a confluence of 2 forms of modern worship: a return to nature / primitive living (where we can imagine away the distractions of modern living), and worship of the self / fame, where we create these myths of ourselves and tell that story / get a bunch of people to be interested. I suspect neither one is very fulfilling, but I understand the impulse (especially the first one).
For those curious about tweaking your ebike, I found this: https://www.electricbiketuning.com/

I doubt you’ll hit 75kph with a 36V Motor though. My 52V mid drive would get me to around 40–50kph on a good day, flat terrain, no wind, and pedaling hard. I put it back to 25kph max because riding so fast on a bicycle was too dangerous in my opinion... cars don’t expect you to come so fast, and I was getting too dangerously confident. I was also worried about the consequences should I get in a crash and the bike is investigated to see whether it was legal.

For those interested in diy, the tsdz2 mid drive is a pretty good motor that has a torque sensor and that you can add to most bicycles. There is also an open source alternative firmware for it that’s pretty good. See https://github.com/OpenSource-EBike-firmware/TSDZ2_wiki/wiki
and it's interesting, hard to find a 5k "retina"; was looking at this, but other than the hard to find (these days) LG model, everything from the usual suspects (dell, etc) gives you some gigantic screen at a lesser DPI...
Yes, I'd say so.

The ARM based iteration that Apple will ship will be good, potentially great even, but it doesn't change the fact that it will be the first iteration.

Apple will be supporting Intel for at least a couple of yeas, seeing as they just introduced the most beefy MBP 16 inch and the refreshed iMac and iMac Pro along with the Mac Pro.

What makes you an expert on this subject
You should read and take to heart this comment by dahart, especially the last paragraph: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24032182

You've been confidently wrong about the only two rules you've commented on.
I can clearly see both sides by now. I've built a high sleeper in my old apartment from scratch (which is kind of an understatement as it was effectively half a floor on top of a whole room including real stairs as a concession to my then-pregnant wife).

After 3 months of advance planning, I finally realized the gravity of my mistake when the delivery truck lifted half a ton of wood onto the sidewalk and drove away. For me, it was just enough of a project to seriously endanger our relationship and get me to my mental and physical limits, but hell, it turned out great.

There's really something to physical work and woodworking in particular that is haptic and makes you proud inside which you don't get at all in software engineering.

Would I do it again? Absolutely not, that was nuts. But I'm still glad I did and I enjoy doing some woodworking from time to time (like that bottle rocket launch pad for my daughter lately).

In the end I'm also pretty glad I'm in a job without breaking my back before I'm 60.
Ava https://www.ava.me | San Francisco and Paris | FullStack, Software & Backend Engineers, Product Designer | REMOTE | Positions: https://www.ava.me/jobs

We're a unique breed: a deep tech (4 PhDs), mission-driven (100,000 deaf/hard-of-hearing users relying on our work) and VC-funded startup (SV Angel, Initialized, Khosla), and we're doubling our team to 15.

Our goal is to improve how we humans connect & communicate with each other using human & artificial intelligence. First through using a patented multi-peer speech recognition technology app that empowers 450M deaf and hard-of-hearing people to have exceptionally accurate captions for any conversation they're a part of. That unique focus is because I (CEO/Founder) grew up in a Deaf family & witnessed how the world was not accessible for them, then cofounded Ava with my CTO Skinner, deaf since age 2.

Specifically, we're hiring makers (engs + designer) who want to be at the very beginning of a rocketship. All jobs are here: http://www.ava.me/jobs but these following 3 positions will be filled quickly (it's my #1 focus):

1) a Full-Stack Developer (~2-5+ years exp), with React and Node background, to take the lead on building out the Ava experience on the web. Really powerful B2C & B2B applications through it, with real-time & scalability challenges. Should care about all the details that makes a first experiences become magical for a new user, and committed to make a huge impact on society.

2) a Backend Developer (~2-5+ years exp) with DevOps, Node, Python skills as their strong suit. Will own designing and scaling Ava's AI infrastructure, supporting mission-critical algorithms for our users.

3) a Product Designer, exp. in B2C & B2B platforms, mobile & web. Open to animations, UI/UX. Will be working with deaf users & probably learning sign language as a result :) Huge role in leading redesign, branding & empowering our community - very active because it's often life-critical for them to use Ava.

Feel free to email me directly: thibault@ava.me if any question, or to apply here: http://www.ava.me/jobs I'll review HN applications personally!

Another thing to mitigate doom scrolling - read History

What we're experiencing now is part of a broad, generational change. Regardless of your country or the outcome of any one election or news cycle, the far right is emerging as a strong force. It will remain so in most Western countries, maybe for decades.

Understand the broader sweeps and landscape. Understand that you're probably like a drop in the ocean. If you see a part of it that's your duty, do your duty. But do, or do not...

History shows us broad strokes oscillations of political winds, how often things have seemed absolutely terrible, how things swing back often unexpectedly. How even the most influential have little control over affairs...
My understanding is the EA crew had also initially successfully restored trim with the electric trim switches.

The LA flight prior to the LA crash flight did restore trim with the electric switches and then cut it off, and landed safely.
You could probably say the exact thing about video game consoles and loading times/download speeds/whatever. The consoles got more and more powerful, but the games still load in about the same amount of time (or more) than they used to, and take longer to download.

And the reasoning there is the same as for this issue for webpage speed or congestion on roads; the more resources/power is available for use, the more society will take advantage of it.

The faster internet connections get, the more web developers will take advantage of that speed to deliver types of sites/apps that weren't possible before (or even more tracking scripts than ever). The more powerful video game systems get, the more game developers will take advantage of that power for fancier graphics and larger worlds and more complex systems. The more road capacity we get, the more people will end up driving as their main means of transport.

There's a fancy term for that somewhere (and it's mentioned on this site all the time), but I can't think of it right now.

What is also concerning is that the CEO of Accuweather, Barry Myers, was appointed the head of NOAA, the government agency responsible for providing weather information. To remove the conflict of interest, Myers stepped down and appointed his brother as the new CEO of Accuweather. A pretty clear case of regulatory capture if you ask me.
If people want to "cheap out" they can always get it with the base storage and hang a big thunderbolt drive off the back. It basically performs the same as if it was built-in, at a much lower price. One can get the entry level 27 inch imac and add storage and RAM to get a high end config on the cheap (graphics excepted).

Literally every locality I have ever had any interaction with on the West coast falls into one of two categories:

1) Is a major metropolitan area (LA, OC, SF, SV, Seattle, a few others)

I feel like they are taking a page out of consoles, at least if the iPad's influence is to be felt on future Macs. Relatively rigidly defined hardware specs and the apps are designed to take that into account.
I feel the same way. If i am going to continue in this business it's going to be "very freelance", "very on my own terms" whatever that means.

I am in my thirties, and a career shift seems more and more inevitable. I seem to have swallowed several blackpills about various industrial complexes and see no bright future of the internet/tech in general, rather the opposite.

What's your age and what is you plan? I am actively looking for some kind of path at the moment for ex-tech people..

If anyone has any input i am all ears!
That kind of question need only be answered once though, in the documentation of the dependency system. In this case, all dependencies for go modules are stored in $GOPATH/pkg/mod/MODULE/PATH@version, but that's a minor detail that you don't really need to know, since the documentation also makes clear that all dependencies are downloaded in that directory, so you never have multiple copies of a single dependency with a single version. The documentation also specifies that you can download all your dependencies (or some), in a top-level (in respect to your module) vendor directory. All of these questions and more can be answered by `go help modules`.

Now, I use go-to-definition not because I want to find out where something is located, but what it looks like. The location is just exposed as a side-effect.

> It’s trivially easy to compile your iOS app for 64-bit as well, but like I mentioned... that transition left a lot of dead apps in its wake.

Most of those "dead" apps were not under active development and had no income flow. Making a "trivial" change to an inactive project means rebuilding software which you have shelved for some time.

If you are actively developing software, adding Intel support to a build is pretty much just clicking the option to build a Universal binary. Adding a flag to an existing build a lot easier than dusting off an old app and making a bunch of tweaks and a new build with near zero chance of return on that time invested.
Electrical and plumbing are relatively easy compared to anything that requires accurate measuring and cutting.

The latter can really kill a project if you can't get it right consistently, preferably first time.

That's where the skill comes in - not just the physical labour, but the experience needed to make allowances for material tolerances and other possible gotchas.

Professionals (should) have that knack, amateurs rarely will.
Well I don't think FB is so fungible as a market participant that they can be excused via relative privation[1]. They have close proximity to the lives of a lot of people, and the content that appears on their pages plays a prominent role in society, or at least the FB userbase. To be sure, sometimes its role in society is a result of splash damage.

Facebook's grandeur is on display constantly, both in its expansive view of its business model competing against winking at someone on the bus, to the intransigence they express in resisting (if not refusing) any modification to their behavior. They're have toddler-mentality management, and it's a problem that the stock market rewards it.

You don't have power over the fur industry by yourself. The purpose of boycotts is to spread, they aren't a state of being, and in your terms they could be said to be practice in ignoring something. "See? You can go without it."

People and businesses still have MySpace pages, Friendster accounts, and all the kinds of powerless internet presence about which people like to say Facebook is immune, but the future isn't written yet. It stands to reason that Facebook could be the Penny Saver of the future, a webboard for people with online social inertia (I know of webboards that continue beyond decades with much more traffic than a lot of Facebook groups) and a place where yes, your business needs to put up a page.

Facebook would love to be indispensible, and I wouldn't be surprised if they secretly want regulation (on their own terms, of course) because historically that is one method businesses can use to permanently implant themselves in the social fabric. Global reach complicates this, but with the TikTok controversy in the US right now[2], the world may wake up to regional restrictions on business access to individual nations (don't call it a Great Firewall) and we might wake up one day to find Facebook banned in the EU (for example) for their data practices.

There are plenty of smaller social networks in the EU that don't have the problems FB does, and I don't think the users would miss anything more than being asked to friend a friend's friend that you met once (if at all). Everybody would know they have a month or three and in that time everybody sends everybody "I'm @abc123 on $somesite, and @xyz456 on $somesite2." Much easier than the old days of updating paper address books.

And that's the illusion: that there's anything to miss, that it'll be difficult to maintain contact with people. All of the people you know online will still be online somewhere, and you know what? Email still exists. Facebook isn't indispensible.

The difference between 576i50 (PAL equivalent, free version of the main private channels) and 720p50 (that's what German public service uses for "HD"; it's not actually 1080p, although they use a pretty high bitrate) is pretty stark, the difference between 576i and 1080p is even more obvious. Although TVs don't really have a neutral setting and try their best to mess every image up as much as they can.
Did that for a while in my early 20s. Spent a few months in Asia with just a 35L backpack of clothes on my back and the odd book. This was before wifi and smartphones. Happiest time of my life.
I guess this is mine? I would hesitate to believe I made it up, but I don't remember it from anywhere. If you don't feel comfortable with that, then credit it to Michael Starbird, who was my first Moore-method professor 20-odd years ago.
Iterating on software is nearly free. Iterating on home construction is not. Permits, materials, the cost of land, etc etc.

That's one reason you see more planning, training, apprenticeships, and established guidance in construction than in software. Iteration isn't a great technique.
I think the two biggest problems are:

1. corruption in politics. (Revolving door, lobbyists, etc.. -- which creates the two problems you mentioned above). See: https://represent.us for examples. This should be a bi-partisan issue.

2. Two party system (fueled by the above), but if congress was partially filled by party preference we'd see a wider view.

For example say a state gets 20 reps, well 10 of those are voted in, 10 are party preference (5% of vote or more). So say green party gets 20%, Libertarian 10%, Democrat 40%, GOP 30%.

Green: 2, Libertarian: 1, Dem: 4, GOP: 3.

Also moving to ranked choice voting would be nice. Not sure how the dynamics of the senate could be changed, except maybe instead of states we just cut the country into equal-sized geometric shapes and each 'shape' gets a senator.

I also believe the house should be expanded per the constitution that calls for about 2500 based on current population. (1 per 100,000 pop). It'd make more jobs and give more people voices as well.

Term limits would help too, maybe not permanent ones but make it so you can only be senator/congressman 1 term back-to-back. This also makes it so you're never 'campaigning' while 'working'. You'd sit out 4 years, then you could rotate back in (if you win).

Supreme Court should also have term limits, and a dynamic #. Say each president coming in gets to pick 1-2 justices (to get an odd number, say one dies in October, and isn't replaced by inauguration...), each justice serves 10 years and then is up for re-election.

I also think the house should pick 'contenders', then all of congress and the senate vote (by ranked choice), maybe the president's vote counts as 50, giving him a 'weighted' decision, but still there's more representation in the vote.

If we could redo the constitution, these would be some things to make it more fair. imho.
I've run into cases where templates pay off once or twice. I was once able to refactor 1000+ lines of code into about 150 lines using a template class. However, I've tried more than once to learn "advanced" meta-programming techniques, and I've yet to find a use case that makes any sense.
Agreed! I am currently planning out building a similarly spec'd machine (or waiting for zen 3), and trying to pick out a motherboard that is a good balance of features has been a headache.
I agree with you that some of this comes from snobbery and ignorance, but I think it's also motivated by a naive form of human curiosity. There's a line in East of Eden about one of the main characters (Samuel Hamilton) that talks about how he abhorred the sprawl of knowledge and increasing specialization of the human race. That trend has of course led to an immense improvement in the quality of life of our species, but I think it is a really disconcerting and slightly sad feeling as a curious person to realize there are huge realms of knowledge and skill that I will never live long enough to explore and enjoy.

Depending on the exact location, you can get land for as little as $1000/acre in central Oregon. $12,000/acre isn't impressive at all for off-the-grid non-farmable land.
