That's why I'm saying I'm not sure about the average customer, so I'm not feeling comfortable assuming people responsible for sales strategy (who are obviously professional marketers) are bad at their job. But I seriously don't want to dismiss this thought. After all, are we "such a small user-base" that it doesn't matter? Maybe, but I don't know. We likely would be if they actually had customer base Apple has, but they surely don't. And given they don't have such a remarkable brand-recognition, it actually makes it kinda more likely that they are selling it to us, whether they like it or not. I mean, this thread here is the first time I've ever heard about them, so I'll probably be the first guy in the office that gets the tablet, and then if I'll like it some people who don't read HN will hear an endorsement. In fact, it wouldn't even be the first product introduced this way to numerous non-technical people I know (who now own one).

And even if I'm mistaken and none of this matters, well, after all a sale is a sale.
Many have rightly brought up the issue of energy storage for solar. Could hydrogen fuel cells provide an answer here? I believe there is some fairly recent research describing efforts to use solar energy directly to produce hydrogen (as opposed to electrolysis).

One could imagine a system in which solar cells produce hydrogen and the hydrogen is stored until needed or sold to industrial or retail customers.

Interesting field to watch, I hope we'll see some neat progress in the coming years that combine developments from multiple areas of research.
On the plus side, the few left alive will be able to command any salary they wish for.
Yw. A recessed slide is the best option. Fantastic job, I really like what you did here.
I've seen devs do it while also ignoring an overloaded pipeline of work. Sometimes you manage to get the worst of both worlds.
I mean, it's hard to see Go as "very considerate and optimized" given the existence of modern, highly-efficient programming languages like Rust, D, perhaps Swift etc. It's obviously better optimized than JavaScript and its derivatives, or even Java/C#, but that's not saying much.
For one example, I believe Crystal is inspired by Go in this respect. https://crystal-lang.org/

Hopefully they are smart enough to incentivize more automation in the economy through investments. Would be great if our food supply wasn’t dependent on mass migrations of people during a pandemic.
It's getting worse for AI chips and better for memory. GPU-type devices doing machine learning have all that compute silicon running flat out all the time, all emitting heat. Flash memory, at least so far, doesn't seem have the data rate to have a heat problem. At any one time, most of the device is inactive.

It's amazing that there are 2 terabyte USB sticks for US$40.
Of course it's way too expensive. Around the price of Starlink access.
The core Ingress object is super minimal, basically just "listen on ABC host+path and forward requests to XYZ service". But Ingress controllers can do all types of things, and might need more context to properly route the traffic. For example, you might want HTTP requests to be automatically upgraded to HTTPS. Or your ingress controller might need specific instructions if it's handling something like a gRPC connection. You might want one Ingress object handled by Traefik and another by nginx. These types of things have been addressed by adding annotations to the Ingress object. It's honestly a pretty elegant solution to a pretty hairy problem, but it ties your YAML to a specific cluster incarnation. Of course, if you use CRD's, you're in the same situation; but the dream of k8s is portability (for me).
Really curious whether anyone’s actually used Parabola-rM often? It lacks support for Wi-Fi and the sdma port. Not sure what that leaves you to rely on for file transfers or much of anything. I can at least imagine a lack of networking as a plus though for lack of distractions.
doesn't that make sense though ?

If there is no watch history, not possible for google to make recommendations ? or am I missing something ?
Public policy, monetary policy, and fiscal policy all have empirical evidence in support of them, demonstrating the usefulness of the field. Your comment does not.

Hi Adam,

Thank you for sharing Muse! I love it.

In one of your comments you mention:

"There is a learning curve--we like tools take a bit of time investment, but one that will pay off with power and flexibility in the long run. vim and emacs were two inspirations here. "

I'm building a product with a similar sort of learning curve. Do you have any resources you recommend for better understanding how to build these types of products?

Thanks!
You mean a neural network I could pull off github, and if I had enough money to train it, end up with the same results?
30 here. On my iPad, if I bring up an app in the floating view, I often have to rediscover how to dismiss it. I just tried to do it now and this is how it went:

My first instinct was to flick it up from the bottom, but that brings up the recents switcher. Next instinct was to try flicking it off to the right, but it just moves a bit and springs back. While trying more times to fight the spring I noticed a short bar at the top and realized it was probably a drag handle. Grabbed that and tried to flick it downwards. No luck, but it moved in a way that made it seem like dragging down more would do it, but nope of course that wasn't it either. How about a flick to the right? Nope. Dragging it to the right? Agh! It's trying to dock into split screen mode! I dragged it around some more hoping for different behavior before dropping it back into place and again trying a flick to the right using the handle at the top. And that FINALLY did it. Apparently I didn't put enough enthusiasm into the first flick I tried... What a pain in the ass.

I don't like how sensitive to speed some of the actions are. I have similar issues with bringing up the dock. I usually end up going to the home screen instead.
I'm sure Go is not better for every single use case. But it seems to be there were a lot of high performance systems that would have been written in C++, like InfluxDb for example that are clearly more reliable and easier to develop because it was written in Go.

Where do you think C++ outshines Go?
TSMC isn’t close to 3nm either... TSMC “3nm” is Intel 5nm. TSMC doesn’t get to Intel 3nm for at least 4 years.
Honestly, it seems like you are playing a game. Did you perform a search of tools that can test ui? There are lots of them. I find it hard to believe that you think there aren't any. That's like saying that compilers don't compile C code anymore, because you only compile C++.

I see our testers doing this all the time - but I don't know what libraries they use. I know the testers at our shop do it with an house built framework as well as with commercial ones. On our company's security team, various people have scripted UI exploits using selenium or appium. I just asked one of the people familiar with those two tools I mentioned, and she said it would take her a few minutes.

These are commodity tools. There is nothing special with any of them.
The device is open -- does that extend to the notes and filesystem itself? I'm very interested in the ReMarkable 2, but I want to be able to write scripts to handle stuff like syncing.

If this is something where I know I can get good integration with Emacs/Org-mode on my desktop (letting me insert diagrams on the fly into org-mode files, making one searchable interface between handwritten notes and typed notes, etc), I'd be very tempted to preorder right now. Especially if the handwriting recognition stuff they have is something I could hook around.

I think mostly that it is not part of the UI. Functionality wise I think it is ok.

Basically:

- the original tabs are still displayed (I know there was some way to tinker with FF files to have them hidden, but now I can't find where I've seen it)
- when viewing bookmarks, the treestyle tab disappears (since it's using the same side bar), so then need to use F1 to get it back)
- the old version also had an option where the side bar shrunk, and expanded when you hovered mouse, saving some space.
They announced a 2nd delay a few days ago. Hoping it’s the last.
> I don't think the runtime checks provide the same set of benefits.

Of course not, but that doesn't mean Zig is less effective at achieving correctness. It just does so in a different way -- it trades sound guarantees for less sound ones and a simpler language with a faster cycle. Is one better than the other? Hard to say. Only empirical study could settle that.

>Terrorism can strike without warning and the same preparations for terrorism would help in disasters like the blast in Beirut.

If you live in the US you live in a war-faring nation, that is in constant conflict, at home or abroad. To say it can strike at anytime unexpectedly is hard to believe when we instigate it perpetually.
There's also value in having a beginner's perspective on stuff- What concepts weren't clear? Was there some documentation that was difficult for a beginner to grok? What helped the pieces fall into place?

There's a school of thought w.r.t. project documentation that encourages beginners to write beginner focused documentation since the people who are experts on the project don't always have the perspective to effectively communicate to beginners.
Yup. Made it to the email gatekeeper and uninstalled. The screenshots look neat though.
No. It was an answer. The correct answer is that there are many ways to test for this. Just look for one.
I did the endurance race track with a car that I knew could win, set it on auto with the computer to do the 100-200 laps. These days I think you can speed up the auto play by 5-10x.

Not a fun way to play when all there is is grind.
Discoverability is also a fascinating challenge for those home voice-control devices. What exactly can an Alexa do? Did it get any new features recently? Who could say? You could may be get an email telling you about its cool new ability to rename timers or something, but other than explicitly reading about the new features in a manual or newsletter, how would you possibly think to ask?

I feel the same way about other "unspecified functionality" services, like fancy hotels with "personal butlers." What does the butler do? "Whatever you need" is not an answer. I don't have familiarity with butlers, I don't know what is and is not a reasonable request.
> Solar and wind became cheaper than competing new-build power plants years ago. What the latest report shows is that they have actually gotten so cheap that they are now competing with existing coal and nuclear power plants. In other words, new wind and solar farms can be cheaper than continuing to get power from existing coal and nuclear power plants. [1] [2]

> The storage report also shows a rapid drop in the costs of batteries, which leads to wind + storage or solar + storage getting increasingly competitive (and putting natural gas peaker plants out of business). [1] [2]

8 minute energy's blended solar and storage costs are roughly $40/MWh, just above existing nuclear generation per MWh costs (that doesn't fully internalize waste disposal costs and other ancillary costs of that power). “The vast majority of our development pipeline are solar-plus-storage projects, with more than 24GWh of energy storage under development,” 8minute Solar Energy’s Sean Kiernan said. [3] Portugal just signed a deal for a 700MW project at 1.3 cents/kwh, a historic low (mentioned to demonstrate the cost decline continues, and can be expected to continue into the future). [4]

If you're looking for storage that discharges for days, that is not necessary with robust transmission infrastructure (which needs to be built anyway due to aging infra in the US) and overbuilding of cheap (and rapidly cheaper) renewables [5].

Ah my bad, missed it, you’re right.
Presumably he calls it that because he’s using the same business strategy/model he was building for YC. But it seems quite clear that it’s not YC. The new entity is a standalone VC fund [1], and YC is a recipient of LP funds, not an LP in other VC funds. And besides, it would be hard for YC to keep any involvement quiet after making this kind of announcement.

> new nuclear plants can't compete with solar / wind and storage combination

There dose not exist to my knowledge (would be happy to be proven wrong) any storage solution that currently operated commercial from buying cheap renewable energy at peak production and regain investment and operational costs by selling it expensive during lows. Not a single one in the world.

At best any comparison between storage and nuclear plants is between two currently non-viable commercial alternatives, both requiring massive government funding to be built. The only commercial viable power source right now is renewable that can compete against fossil fuels when the weather make it viable, and fossil fuels as base load and as a dynamic source that can spin up based on weather conditions and demands.
People are going to realize how much of their spending was unnecessary. For example, did I really need to be going to coffee shops 5x or 6x a week? Dining out every other meal? It's healthier for me and my wallet to make this lifestyle change... covid accelerated it. I should've done it anyway.
So there’s a proprietary Wi-Fi driver for Linux? The way it read I thought that was just out completely.
It'd be nice if a no carbon future would be within reach but as far as I know, we do not have the technology to make this happen. Acting as if it's just a matter of time until we do... well, that is nothing short of a high-stakes gamble. Furthermore, we already have too much CO2 in the atmosphere -- even if we'd go no carbon _today_. We will need to actively remove it before we have passed too many ecological tipping points from which there may not be a return to the status quo.

@dang this really got flagged off the first page, huh? :/
Depends on what you're doing. In general, getting a handle on vanilla JS and the HTML DOM first is a good idea, as everything starts there. If you just want to make web pages move a little, you can stay there.

If you want to do anything with much state or user interaction, a reactive framework becomes useful. Vue is really quite friendly.

As to how to learn, I've been doing it too long to have a good recommendation. Probably read a JS book, it's a bit of an odd language with a lot of wrinkles.
Other people can read your code, only as long as you do not uglify it. If you uglify it and ship source maps, that might be OK, but seriously it's not worth it for a minimalistic approach. It will only waste your time.
Or maybe it is perfectly sane, and you just don't understand mechanisms at play?
The contents of the request should hopefully be encrypted, but you can easily see where the request is going.
The individual processors are the ones who care about chargebacks, not VISA itself. So by spreading the processing among several of them, the number of chargebacks per processor are lower.

It's load balancing.
> So you used irssi without both channel list and user list?

Not the guy you asked, but isn't that the default? I've always done '/names' to see who was there and '/list' to see what channels were available.

Because the government insures those accounts for hundreds of thousands of dollars each.

>As such, a good trigger rule is "one test per desired external behavior of the unit, plus one test per bug fixed". The test for each bugfix comes from experience -- they delineate tricky parts of your unit and enforce workign code around them.

So much this. The smoothest integration I've ever worked on was one where I owned the API and back-end and another team built the front end. I defined the API behaviors, built the tests verify those behaviors, and created a mock API for the front-end folks to use while testing.

Over the course of building the API, I slowly got my test success rate from 0% to 100% and always immediately knew when I accidentally changed behaviors. When we finally integrated, there were literally 0 errors related to the client/server interface. Yes, there was some UI wonkiness and we discovered some issues of scale, but there were no issues with parameter values, HTTP response codes, error messages, etc. It was a) amazing and b) the only time I've had the luxury to build something in that manner.
What features are you missing in Gadgetbridge? The upcoming release brings another round of goodies: events forwarding ( act on detected sleep, wake up...) and sports activities ( swimming, yoga ;), but also running, walking, biking...), including computer statistics for these.

They want the data.

"MMMM that sweet, sweet user data mmmm yummmmyyy" - said some corporate middle manager at ${megaTechCorp}.

Especially young people. Corporate America can't figure out young people.

Of course whether or not that data can be successfully leveraged into profits is another story.
Also add polyfills.

Few devices (usually the slightly older fw locked devices) which can get a reuse on local net will get some reuse benefit if you added polyfills. I am doing this by conditional "polyfills with SSR" with nginx/lua at the moment. (kindle os/etc. is a pretty good catchall proxy for those browsers; since they still show some html, you can get a very reliable static+interactive (page refresh syncs nicely with the latency) use out of them. (actually, just to periodically update the view of some react page, running headless...)

Edit: Well, that's an extreme, but it has happened that latest react code won't work on a newly unwrapped device still awaiting next fw update).
The common definitions of "free markets" typically mean a lack of regulation of what can be sold and the a lack of regulation of the prices that things are sold at. The desired outcome (supposedly) is that the price is determined by the participants, based on their knowledge of the full cost of ownership and the perception of the benefits of ownership.

But externalities have no inherent or obvious cost to market participants, either because they are so distributed that the cost per participant is ignorably small, or because the costs are distributed in time (and thus do not affect current market participants) (or both).

The cost of externalities has to be determined and that inevitably involves questions about values. As a trivial example: how much do you (or should you) value clean air? What ppm contamination is worth a dollar to you every time you purchase fuel?

This means that a "free market" with prices that include the cost of externalities must inevitably be regulated in some important sense, since the cost of externalities can only be established via the same processes used for regulation in general. And by most definitions of "free market", that is no longer a "free market".

That doesn't mean this isn't the right thing to do. It just needs better terminology to describe it.
Assuming that is your workflow, I believe I should be able to cut that 4-5 times. Namely, I would cut down on your first time probably 3 fold, by making it waaay faster - I already have instant preview everywhere as you hover something with the mouse (I'm working on making this even faster).

Cutting down (trimming) videos is simply insanely easy and fast, so I assume I would cut that process in half also.

There might be some bugs to iron out, but if you'd like to try it out (the app), we can go from there.
Heck,

I'm know my tech and I can't figure out how to reliably get Safari on IOS to display the bar at the bottom.

If SpaceX violates ITU policy they risk their licenses globally.

A black market for this service is not possible. The equipment necessary to confirm SpaceX is transmitting into an area, or to radiolocate the ground stations themselves costs a few grand. Even low income nations can afford to monitor and enforce spectrum requirements if they desire to.

But more fundamentally, this is not a goal of SpaceX or Elon. The projection of "hero" onto him and this project is out of control. Elon is doing this to make money, plain and simple.
