The claim I see being made is that stenography is mostly arm motion driven as opposed to normal typing being key driven, due to stenography basically being just around the home row.

Where do you get the FP performance, exactly, and for what value of "FP"? It's unclear to me in the slides from El Reg, which appear to be about the MMA specifically, and it's not clear what the SIMD units actually are. (I don't know if that's specified by the ISA.)

One thing is that it presumably has a better chance of keeping the SIMD fed than some.
> If you used a DTD/XSD, the answer is usually yes, since new fields will fail DTD validation using an old DTD -- that is if you validate all your data upon receipt before you process it.

I'm not sure I follow. DTD, as far as I know, allows both optional elements as well as attributes. If you add a feature, a client with the old version should continue to work correctly if you add optional elements. If they are NOT optional, then the client will fail regardless of whether you did XML+DTD or JSON, because your API needs that data and it simply wont be there.

What am I misunderstanding?

> What I find really appealing in REST+JSON is that validation just happens on the server side, and that's usually good enough. Sure there's swagger, but that's a doc to code against on the client side.

As a client, you don't have to validate your request before you send it. But it's nice (and probably preferable) that you can.

>In python, JSON+REST is:

> resp = requests.post(url, data={"field":"value"})

requests is not built-in to Python, right? So you are still using a library to JSONify your data. If you were to use urllib, then you'd have to take extra steps to put JSON in the body: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3290522/urllib2-and-json

What's more, you still are not crafting the JSON yourself if you call json.dumps on a dictionary.

But, yes, crafting a dictionary with no typing or anything is still many fewer keystrokes than crafting an XML doc would be, even with an ergonomic library. But again, how much are you doing what you typed in your real code? That looks more like something I'd do at the REPL.
Handmade GUIs, frameworks drawing on canvas instead of using DOM, and abominations like VNC over web instead of normal desktop apps seem to be the new accessibility plague.

We're pretty much done with Flash and Java on the desktop, QT isn't that bad any more, accessibility-wise, but this kind of stuff is now becoming more and more popular.

I've heard of systems that promise you better utilization of your licensing resources, but what they do is put your precious 10 computers with some expensive software on the internet, letting any employee with a web browser book some time and access them via Web VNC. That's a brilliant way to turn a perfectly-accessible Windows app into something you can literally do nothing with.

If you're starting with a blank slate, what insane amount of scaffolding is required to test? If you had a long-running hobby project that hadn't ever been tested, it could be daunting to add tests (Working Effectively with Legacy Code is a great book for this, by the way), but getting started with testing on a greenfield project is trivial in most languages. If you're writing tests on code at work, did someone else do all the work setting it up for you?

I can relate to the general sentiment; I have little ideas all the time, and my desire to "do things right" leads me to go off on tangents configuring CI/CD pipelines and other tools, but I enjoy that too, so I don't feel like it's a waste of time. I just might not end up working on the thing I started out wanting to do.
>It’s the same logic driving Apple’s own pursuit of subscriptions: getting users to pay continuously for services means increased revenue. Apple even went as far as to lower its 30 percent take down to 15 percent after a year for developers willing to commit to subscriptions.

I wonder how much this, vs. a more constant revenue stream, is the reason for so many apps becoming subscription services.

Your ire is misplaced. This article is talking about the minority of people for whom meditation does the opposite of what it's supposed to do.

This reminds me of study done where, again, a small percentage of people who were exposed to sounds that are typically used to reduce anxiety had the opposite effect to. I am trying to dig up this study but it was posted to HN close to a decade ago, so who knows what happened to it. I think a number of HNers expressed the issues they faced listening to these samples as well.

"Callout culture" is a term that has originated as a reaction to changing society norms around bigotry. Please critically examine your biases on whether you think combating bigotry or shielding people from social consequences of their actions is more important to you. It is not a new phenomenon whatsoever. People have always been cancelled, such as the Dixie Chicks several years ago after their opposition to the Iraq War.

"Callout culture" has only become a problem now that it is hurting the powerful.
To create an inclusive community, you have to actively root out bigotry. Most bigotry is rarely explicit, but couched behind terms like "degenerates."

When you allow bigotry to fester, you are making the decision to exclude people like me and include bigots. You will have to make uncomfortable decisions. There's no way around it. The assumption that you can largely ignore barely-concealed bigotry and also be welcoming to minorities and LGBT folks is false, but widespread among liberals in the tech industry. A recurring theme is that high-status straight males are making most of the decisions, and even with the best intentions, they fail horribly at inclusion because they don't listen to folks not like themselves.

It's 2020, and there is ample evidence both around us and in the academic literature about the omnipresence of racism especially in our society. Does HN and Y Combinator actually want to put in the hard work to create an inclusive environment? So far, the answer is a clear no.
Ha, thanks for the history lesson. :)
> a national park that cuts through the middle of the city

Come now, you aren't suggesting that the National Mall counts as "proximity to nature" ;-)

I've spent some time in all three cities and live in one; none of them really offer the same ease of access to nature as does San Francisco, if you count nature as necessarily including some level of remoteness from the built-up environment.

I agree and were a company to not already have that capability and the government were to request it, such a request would be legally worthless per the aforementioned law.

However pretty much every closed-source communication tool already has this systemic weakness, so the government doesn't have to ask for it to be introduced. WhatsApp, Facebook, Google etc. can all, today, as we speak, choose to push out an app update with code to send plaintext copies of a specific person's messages to Australian law enforcement/intelligence. There's nothing new here.

Open-source tools though do not have this vulnerability. Signal for example has reproducible builds and the Australian government cannot require it to remove them so that it can covertly intercept individuals' messages.

My point here is that contrary to reporting in the tech media, the law doesn't and cannot require that any backdoors be introduced. It can only require that existing ones be used.
This is a case of someone use a "technically correct" fact to make a misleading statement (at least in tone), and then following it up with a 'kill-the-messenger' political snipe at journalists. This is textbook contrarian reactionary misdirection.

#1 - C02 emissions account for only about half of the overall GHG emissions impact of air travel. Anytime you see someone specifically isolating just the CO2 emissions you know they are either poorly informed or deliberately misleading you.

#2 - It doesn't actually matter. If something is 2.5% of X or 5% of X and X needs to get to 0 then the distinction is without a difference. Its only the tone of phrasing that makes this sound like a counterpoint, when it is in fact not.

#3 - unlike much of the other 95 percent of emissions airline travel is by far the most uniquely isolated to very wealthy (globally speaking) people. If you believe in any basic notion of "progressive taxation", and you apply that to GHG emissions, then getting rich (again globally relatively rich) people to stop flying or fly less is by far the most blatant outlier to address quickly and early.

Did I just see an ad masked as a post on HN?
i know reddit and other news agencies have been doing this for awhile now, where they make an ad look like a regular post in order to trick you into clicking on it. in most cases though they subtly distinguish it by putting some sort of text which most newcomers glance over. i believe on reddit they put "sponsored" on the post, you get the idea.

however, i just saw a story on the front page stating: "Ecommerce is taking over the world - Join EasyPost" or something. there was no upvote arrow and only a hide link under the listing title. i can only conclude that HN has finally caved and started posting ads to the site and displaying them like posts in order to trick us into clicking them :(

personally i think this sucks since this was the only news site that i could reliably come to and avoid such trickery. i guess everyone sells out at some point?

Chip dicing hardware can produce hex-cells, or any other cell with straight edges. (Not circular - that's not a good shape to expect from crystalline silicon.)

But - as you say - the modular sections are rectangular, and for most applications there's no good reason to make the dies any other shape.

There's actually a patent for hex-cell chips, but it doesn't seem to have been used for any significant projects.

It's disappointing that Uber and Lyft are saying they need a 3rd classification (e.g., not employee, not contractor, but a third option), when Prop 22 is merely an exemption of ride share workers from AB5. The narrative they're attempting to paint isn't even cohesive.

The iPhone 1.0 came out in 2007 and it ran on a single core arm cpu under clocked at 412mhz and with 120MB of ram and the scrolling was butter smooth. I remember being shocked at how responsive the touch screen was compared to other smartphones at the time. The PinePhone contains an AllWinner A64 Quad Core CPU with 2GB of Ram. Sure, its a crappy 5 year old Soc but it is MUCH faster than the original iphone. I know, modern smartphones have a much higher screen resolution, but still. I mention iPhones instead of android phones because it took quite a few years for Android phones to achieve that same butter smooth experience.

The perceived slowness of the PinePhone is due to layers upon layers of software used to draw simple 2D stuff to the screen. I think a really simple bare metal GUI would be better than running a full blown linux desktop environment like GNOME. Even if you "skin" and strip it down for mobile, it is still laggy as hell.

Linux on a smartphone => yes

Linux desktop environment on a smartphone (even with Wayland support) => no

I am less interested in the "daily driver" part of the PinePhone and more interested in the power consumption and responsiveness of the device itself. Stuff like this is exciting (extending the standby time of a PinePhone to 100 hours): https://github.com/crust-firmware/crust
Specifically, it was building a filesystem abstraction. The language I was working in didn't have a suitable one I could use.

I realized this morning I could have used a mock/test double -- at the time I was thinking I'd need to have some in-memory filesystem so I could later run assertions. I guess I needed to sleep on it.

Anyhow, I'm sure I have run into similar issues where I've felt some pressure to pick between getting some code out and getting some good code out. That is more what this post is about. I was using that as a recent example.

It's actually very helpful advice. Thank you.

A few things that come to my mind now:

1) I did notice though that some form of learning, e.g. vocabulary, can help me fall asleep. I guess it requires focus - which makes me feel tired - but is also dull.
2) Reading in low light conditions makes my eyes tired. It feels harder to keep them open which can work as a trigger for sleeping. It's not bad for eye health by the way [1].
3) The biggest hurdle often seems discipline. It's just too tempting to continue a fun and engaging activity, like playing video games, way past bedtime. The easiest solution would be to not engage in them at all in the evening, but then you might never find time for it.

I disagree. The ABC has on three separate occasions delayed the issue of a retraction on false reporting I brought to their attention by months. SBS refused to issue a retraction at all for another piece of false information they reported, even though their own source had retracted it.

Additionally, ACMA and the Communications Ombudsman have zero jurisdiction over the online news content of ABC and SBS.
