Yes, because most users will want low latency more than they want a hard-to-geolocate IPv6 address; IOW they will just use the IPv6 addresses their ISP assigns them, which will be easy to geolocate even without the ISP's explicit cooperation. Worse still, because IPv6 promises to eliminate NAT, geolocation will likely become even more precise as user devices will have global addresses that they are not sharing with anyone else.
Skip the frameworks, start with modern ES5/ES6, don't use babel/ts/etc initially.

Modern JS is pretty clean and the native DOM methods are actually very pleasant generally. You can get really far without even needing a package manager, but eventually something like npm becomes useful if bulky.
Sure. As I said, I did not flag it.

It is in a really weird space. However, a lot of the folks involved have chosen to talk about where they're at publicly, and Niko said he was not laid off.

Also, for what it's worth: there's a charitable and uncharitable reading of the comment.

Charitable reading: everyone who was at Mozilla who was paid to work on Rust was laid off.

Non-charitable reading: everyone who was paid to work on Rust was at Mozilla, and was laid off.

HN readers are supposed to follow the principle of charity, but it's quite possible that people either ignored that, or mis-understood the parent as saying the latter, in which case, it feels quite egregiously incorrect, rather than maybe slightly wrong.
There have been many attempts to find the right phone interface for eink displays. So far, I like the Light Phone 2 the best; it runs a version of Android that's totally stripped down to have a streamlined set of features that work well on eink.

I think this is one good case of value from execution vs from idea. The idea's pretty dead simple but I think there are execution reasons why creators and viewers are on TikTok. The AI recommendations, video editing abilities and live AI filters are fairly unmatched. YouTube has all the reasons for me to spend more time on it than TikTok if its recommendations system doesn't keep thinking I want to become a plumber after watching one DIY video.
One of the easiest ways to ensure PCI compliance is never actually serving the credit card form from your server, and never seeing the response. Hence the front-end will load and send content to/from Stripe directly.
I am in similar boat. Python centric data scientist. Very tempted to try to learn Rust so I can accelerate certain ETL tasks.

Question for Rust experts: On what ETL tasks would you expect Rust to outperform Numpy, Numba, and Cython? What are the characteristics of a workload that sees order-of-magnitude speed ups from switching to Rust?
Before all this kerfuffle, my money was on TikTok making facebook-level money in 5-10 years.

I can't remember his name but there was a researcher (I think he was German) back in the early 2010s who predicted that as renewables became cheaper and gained more market share the price of energy would go up. This is because renewables are intermittent i.e. unreliable energy sources which means you need to maintain multiple energy infrastructures, a fallback for whenever renewables can't meet demand i.e. its nighttime or the wind isn't blowing, in addition to the renewable energy grid and switching back and forth has inefficiences. This is all if I'm remembering the paper correctly - it has been years since reading it.
Rarity is relative to the comparison, is it rare compared to terror deaths?
The fact that Europe is also struggling is a distraction from the fact that the U.S. is struggling deeply with the pandemic. It isn't particularly surprising given their previous economic struggles. But in the U.S., it isn't just the pandemic. The U.S. has been dealing with a president who was handed a strong and recovering economy and relatively sane policies on a platter but literally does nothing every day but Tweet and watch T.V., takes on a couple meetings at best, and lets a third generation Jewish immigrant who somehow hates immigrants and is a white supremacist write his policies for him.
I recently decided to purchase either this or an ipad, and ended up going with the ipad.

My primary use is reading academic articles, and I use Endnote to organize my pdfs and citations. I ended up going with the ipad because it has an endnote app and automatically syncs with my desktop, so I just always have all of my papers handy. If I had to manually sync papers to the remarkable it would be very annoying.

So I ended up going with the ipad despite wanting the experience of the remarkable. Though the ipad was cheaper and has other uses (entertainment).
I'd buy it if it's 9 dollar a year, but a hundred is a stretch too much.
Same here last time ReMarkable came up. Saw the marketing page and really liked the hardware and expected it to be locked down, so moved on to reading the comments. Bunch of comments describing how it's open, runs linux and you can basically just ssh into it and run stuff. Made a pre-order right there and then and now waiting for it.

I think we're simply such a small user-base that they don't think to include it on their landing pages. Most people probably don't care. But since we're on HN, we most likely care to some degree.
WSL2 has no built-in background services. That's a huge issue for me. And I don't have 100% confidence in it. It has many little bugs on each builds.

Why do you miss Finder? Search feature? Preview.app? Opposite to you, I never like it.
Because for some is us the signal to noise ratio was too low (did I get that the right way around?).

For me LinkedIn for me was a total waste of time. Good you find it useful use it, but I don’t and I don’t like the company so I am deleted my account.

Also most of the contacts weren’t other devs or dev companies but recruiters. A lot of those recruiters flooded the feed with bullshit recruitment feel good articles and other trite. That combined with all the estalking and slimes dudes on there it just isn’t somewhere that is worth being around.

Arguably opinionated formatters like prettier and black are a response to gofmt.
I can't help but feel like e-ink may eventually be replaced by something similar to this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_micromirror_device

The advantage would be immensely faster switching speed.

Imagine one side of the mirror being totally reflective and the other side totally black. If you can turn the mirror far enough, you could replicate to some degree, what e-ink is doing.
Lived in Australia for a while, have a brother who is a dual citizen. (US citizen, but I'm in Canada now).

Names in the Oz were... different. In north Melbourne damn near all of the white folks I know had painfully white, Christian names -- but I don't think a single person ever went by them except on paper. You may be a Gary or Warren -- bland Anglo names -- but down under you'd be Gazza or Wazza. Or a Matty or Johnno.
Awesome article about "high-tech carts"... with no picture of the cart
>> No country is going to spend a million bucks to lay fiber to ten person towns in the middle of nowhere.

Why not? It has been done before. Every developed country went through a period of rural electrification whereby schemes were developed to encourage and/or force electric companies to run wires out into the rural farmland. Internet is the modern analogue for electrification. Those same approaches would work equally well for fiber.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_electrification

The American approach: "The Rural Electrification Administration (REA) was created by executive order as an independent federal bureau in 1935, authorized by the United States Congress in the 1936 Rural Electrification Act, and later in 1939, reorganized as a division of the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture. It was charged with administering loan programs for electrification and telephone service in rural areas. Between 1935 and 1939 – or the first 4½ years after REA's establishment, the number of farms using electric services more than doubled"
this makes me want an iPad, looks beautiful, bookmarked for the future!
Most websites can't/shouldn't store the card number, they embed Stripe JavaScript that sends card number to Stripe and get a token id to use on the backend later on.
Can't store CCV or number without passing PCI compliance.
If the app stores all my data locally, why does it require an email? It doesn't even say why an email is required, just an annoying "Enter your email to get started" with no option to skip.

I don't understand why apps have gotten so hostile towards curious users.

For me, that's a hard Nope.
Do you have a portfolio site? I know someone who is looking for robotics freelancers.
I believe the point was that fossil fuels operate in a market where they are subsidized, which is not really free.
> What is the latest word (as of 2020) on reading Kindle books on the ReMarkable? Is there a tool that makes it easy to buy Kindle books and strip them of their DRM?

You go to amazon.com/myk, switch to the Content tab, three dots next to the book, Download & transfer via USB. You then drag-and-drop them into Calibre with this add-on set up: https://github.com/apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools

There's some initial setup required to get your decryption key (easy if you have their e-reader — just enter the key you'll find in device info, slightly complicated if you don't), but once that's done, the friction for decrypting ebooks is pretty negligible.

You'll have to convert them to epub or PDF to be able to read them on ReMarkable, but that's as easy as right-clicking a book within Calibre and choosing "convert".

Most of the other ebook decrypters are basically slapping some interface on top of this Calibre plugin and hiding it behind a paywall.
Alright this sent me down a rabbit hole.

The URL is: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.rust.devel/3674/focu...

I've also seen it without the trailing /focus.

The web interface of gmane.org is down, so the link is not available. Turns out though that the rust-dev mailing list archive is present on both mail.mozilla.org and mail-archive.com, so one only has to find the mail corresponding to the link.

https://www.mail-archive.com/rust-dev@mozilla.org/

https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/rust-dev/

Using archive.org's "find all archived websites with this prefix" feature one can obtain a total of three archived e-mails.

http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://article.gmane.org/gmane....

http://web.archive.org/web/20140723013539/http://article.gma...

http://web.archive.org/web/20140719142224/http://article.gma...

http://web.archive.org/web/20141225073140/http://article.gma...

Now, one searches for lines in those e-mails in on mail-archive.com and finds these corresponding links:

https://www.mail-archive.com/rust-dev@mozilla.org/msg06831.h...

https://www.mail-archive.com/rust-dev@mozilla.org/msg09516.h...

https://www.mail-archive.com/rust-dev@mozilla.org/msg10494.h...

Observe that the differences between the two IDs are different each time, namely decreasing: 53, 50, 45

So it's not a constant difference. What to do now?

Let's google the URL! It points towards this hn comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7554676

It gives one piece of information: the e-mail was written by Graydon. Similarly, commenters in https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1t8y6g/why_rus... mention his name, making it very likely that the e-mail was written by him.

Another hint comes from the reddit thread you linked above: someone named maxcan stated they started the thread. Looking up their name plus "pure" gives only e-mails from a single thread, including an e-mail from Graydon: https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=rust-dev%40mozilla.org...

This is the E-Mail:

https://www.mail-archive.com/rust-dev@mozilla.org/msg03913.h...

https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/rust-dev/2013-April/00392...

Also archived it, just to be sure:

http://web.archive.org/web/20200827181214/https://www.mail-a...

It covers precisely the topic you mentioned and is in a thread started by maxcan. I think it's the e-mail we are looking for.

To verify, the difference between the two IDs is either 239, or 58, depending on which of the two numbers in the URL point to the actual E-Mail, but 58 is more likely. The 0.7 release announcement for example has a difference of 57 and is quite close to both:

It's funny, if you'd asked me almost a decade ago which language would compete with Go, I would not have answered "JavaScript"! Yet, these days I find that's the trade-off: build something "quick" in TypeScript that's easy to modify but perhaps a bit brittle and slow(er) to run in production, vs build something very considerate and optimized in Go but perhaps not something you can easily change without hiring folks specifically for the backend.

And then you've Java, which is now trying to be the "VM for every runtime" but is still best at Java itself, for now. I tried running JS-on-Java (graaljs) to improve the performance of JavaScript from "only twice as fast as Python" to "within the top 10 on TechEmpower" but found it had too many compromises to rely on it, it was just another runtime layer I would have to worry about.

I end up wondering if the solution really is to begin by prototyping efforts in slower-executing languages to start except where existing conditions and code ecosystems might allow for faster initial results in another language. (Kubernetes projects should likely use Go, etc.) Which is less about Go and more about the need to rewrite software later, I suppose.

Then again, these days the problems I end up spending (too much) time on are "which dependency should I use," or "should I rewrite the dependency," I rarely ask myself which language is "better" for a task because I end up having to use languages others are familiar with. Go is not yet universally one of those languages, but the more I see unfamiliar Go code in the wild, the more I feel it could be. One of its current strengths is that its simple syntax and maybe its repetitiveness also makes it quite easy to follow for newcomers.
I think it'll be close to the same percentage, but I don't really know how to substantiate that either way.
My thought on the pricing as well. Every drug user knows that you never talk about price because the "first hits are free".
I have no idea how accurate economists tend to be at predicting the future of the economy. I think its fair to say that economics has done a fair job of coming up with tools to deal with economic issues as the come up, and even preventing a fair amount that we never are even aware of.
Hydroelectric dams aren't all sunshine and roses.

> “The river was transformed from being a thriving producer of millions of ﬁsh such as shad, herring, striped bass, Atlantic salmon, sturgeon and alewives and supporting a wide cornucopia of other species ranging from otters to eagles — into a wastewater drainage system,” Jeff Crane, a dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Saint Martin’s University, wrote in a paper published in 2009.

"...I think it's fair to remind everyone that in the early 2000s all publications were parroting the US lie that Iraq was hiding WMDs."

Pumped hydro has an efficiency of around 80%, which is similar to lithium ion batteries. They also have massive capacity. The downside is that there aren't many places where they can be built.

99$ per year? Well I guess Im not the target audience.

Got to admit, it looks pretty nice. That price is just... nope.

Removing DRM from kindle books and converting to PDF, and shipping them as PDFs to the remarkable cloud to sync to the device, are independently solved problems, available as OSS.

To my knowledge there is no tool that does both. Nor, better, that also includes the purchase and download steps at Amazon.

I personally have automation for all 3 individually but have not wired them together. I think there is a nice little business awaiting someone who does that.
Keep in mind that the subsidy for oil might be "accounting for the entire world's economy collapsing in the future due to climate change".
I think we are moving away from manual labor at this point. There is going to be automation if factories come back to America.
that's not due to the kernel, that's because it's bsd ps instead of gnu ps. sed is the one that gives me the most irritation, there's basically no way to write useful cross-OS sed scripts.
I think the exact point that was energy production is a massively skewed, un-free market.
I use the email document feature for my integrations for now. I have mail drop filters that trigger scripts which create blog post drafts. I send the document page from the device to a special email on my domain to trigger it.

You might be able to integrate with One Note that way if you don’t mind rolling up your sleeves.

They also roll out updates to the devices which add all kinds of capabilities.
Not for some commenters here, it seems.
Forgetting their access to extremely cheap debt, MSFT has $140bn in cash which they need to use to return as much value to shareholders as possible. They can spend 30% or so of their cash to aggressively enter a fast growing trillion+ dollar market, with a service that has the potential to take a chunk of out FB. And it pushes them in to closer proximity to commerce. From a return to shareholders perspective, I don't really see why MSFT wouldn't at least seriously entertain this. It's not every day a non-US product scares the hell out of US social media giants and then gets dropped in your lap due to a forced sale. Especially when they were willing to pay $25bn+ for LinkedIn.

Then you have AMZN becoming 3rd largest online ad service, and WMT sees another area in which they'll get crushed by Bezos. They get access to the advertising side via Tik Tok, and can rely on MSFT's team's to help them avoid screwing up the product.
Observation by a non ROS user: ROS is basically a hardware abstraction layer and set of common software components used by academics across many different manufacturers' hardware. Overwhelmingly it is used with third party robot arms to aid programming by people who want to focus on the maths and not the deployment, however it can be used for my sorts of situations.

In reality, industry generally doesn't care about nominally innovative academic approaches to robotics, or even very much about hedging their lock-in with a vendor-neutral codebase, they just buy something that already works and use the software tools from the hardware vendor.

Source: I went to a ROS conference last year and there was ~nobody using it in industry. The amount of money they were spending on hardware was staggering. I run a robotics company, we don't use ROS.

Out of character for me, my initial thought is that the pricing is probably right. The people willing to pay for a product like this are probably mostly willing to pay $100/year for it. I think there are legitimate concerns that the market for an app like this is small, but in that case, you probably want to capture as much profit per customer as possible. But hey this is just speculation...
I'd like to ask, do you pretty much believe your option A? If so, what do you think of the Buzzfeed News investigation and reporting? Also, do you thing the re-education of Uighurs and others is the right thing for the Communist Party to be doing?

I understand you may not want to comment publicly here, so if you want, feel free to email me (my profile has my email).
Fantastic. I didn’t see anything about this on their site (admittedly a small percent of users would know/care what this means.)

Do you know of any RSS or saved articles sync? I use Feedly right now. Would love to save Reader Mode versions of long form to read/annotate. Right now I print them but…a lot of paper.
The collate conjecture gets a pass from me because I think there’s an even more funded problem that is even more useless: calculating pi to more and more digits. I doubt any practical application needs more than 10 digits.

Not true. If we neutralize externalities the free market will make progress in climate change. Especially because solar and wind are already cheaper than fossil fuels. Probably won't be fast enough, but I don't think that is the same as utterly and demonstrably unable to solve climate change.
Who the hell is lobbying against a pedestrian bridge?
Yes, I meant "open" in the sense that you do not need to jailbreak it to run software that has not been approved by the manufacturer, not "open" in the sense that the operating system is open source.

Although, I think a lot of their operating system is open source and on their github page (linux kernel and uboot configuration): https://github.com/reMarkable

Their Qt-based shell software, xochitl, is not open source.

Just so that you know, HN is the worst possible place to ask general questions.

But I'm more curious to know why you think a VPN will keep you "secure" on social media? All a VPN does is change your ip address; what threat do you think that protects you from? Social networking is for learning about people based on their behavior, and then showing ads to them. That primarily means the content, frequency, and nature of people's interactions with other people and with content such as videos and articles. Your ip address is irrelevant to all of that.
