>It’s important to develop a personal brand, but also to share knowledge.

It's such a long-term reward that can be hard to quantify when talking to people who operate in a "long-tail passive income" mindset.

I've kept my website about an obscure drum machine (the Boss DR-110) operating since 1999, I still get occasional emails about it, and I absolutely can see how what I've shared has shaped the drum machine ecosystem in little ways in the intervening years, from modifications people came up with and shared back, to hardware implementations from hobbyists, to the addition of its circuitry to modern mass-manufactured clones of similar hardware. Literally every copy of the schematics on the internet came from the service manual that I bought on eBay, photographed, and scanned from the negatives at what I thought was an absurdly high resolution at the time.

When my wife's M-Audio AV40 speakers developed a buzz, she found and replaced bad capacitors, and over the last seven years, has seen a stream of comments from people expressing thanks for showing them how to give their own problematic speakers new life.
Which im sure some poor soul will mishear as "Pussy-Slut Academy" once the names are reversed and Arkady is put into Katakana and it's late into a night of drinking at the mandatory after work drinks. Hahaha.
Stripe JS uses an iframe for card number which blocks the site from accessing the number. And the only way to access the card number is either a security hole in the iframe message handling or in the browser.
I don't have that problem with the yelp app. I turn off location services and search, and yelp lets me select from previously selected locations. Not much help when traveling though.
Nothing is stupid, it works for someone. It's called a "dark pattern," (https://darkpatterns.org/) and it's by design.

Can pretty much guarantee the accountability for the design decisions goes to a "consensus," from a series of informal meetings, with no individual ownership, because that's also by design. I'm not involved with this at all, but having spent time in many different organizations as a consultant, this is very much a common strategy.
Is note taking good? How good is OCR? Do you know if it works with other languages/alphabets (cyrillics)? Can it handle usual stuff used in formulas, subscripts/superscripts, fractions, integrals, f : S³ → G, H⊲G ≡ ∀g∈G gHg⁻¹ = H and other weird symbols we use? How about stuff that comes with several columns/rows, like matrices? How about tables?
You can disable it on the iPad from:

Settings | Home Screen & Dock | Multitasking | Allow Multiple Apps

No idea if the same setting exists on iPhone or if it disabled split screen through.

The whole feature is so badly designed on iPad. I was forever detaching a Safari page and ending up with two Safari apps. So tapping the Safari icon wouldn't take me back, it only takes you to the detached page, and you think you have "lost" all the other pages. You need to close the detached page (none of that would be obvious to a novice). Also getting a page to detach into a popup by mistake, and then not being able to get rid of it (I still don't know the correct swiping motions!)
I think that's it in a nutshell. You can't evaluate everything at compile time, even when you could theoretically. So you need some way to mark the subset of pure functions that can be evaluated at compile time, which is what const fn does. That way if a const fn only calls other const functions you know you can evaluate it. It's a convenient way of tagging functions.
Use site:theregister.com to restrict to a site (doesn't make a difference in this case, though).

I see plenty of "embarassing to Google" results in the first few pages of results.

I saw a headline that Keanu Reeves 'admitted' that he really wanted a role for something or other. I read 'admit' in headlines at about the same level as 'state'

Wind and solar are cheaper than [previously] thought, states UK...
People are constantly asking why Tesla's stock is valued so highly. They are innovating at 56 times the rate of Ford. In other words 14 changes in three months vs one change in a year to a model in production. Does that begin to explain it?
There are literally 100s of high level languages, for every imaginable programming paradigm. If you want to write fast code where you control memory and don't use a garbage collector, C, C++, and Rust are your only options. It's nice to see new additions to the list.
I think a lot of people online don't understand how to get attention besides by acting outrageous like this. Getting attention online by doing something good that everyone else is doing is really hard. A lot of people seek out the seemingly underemployed strategy of doing the outrageous things that others aren't.

Maybe it's got to do with the fact we're competing with everyone online for attention, and the issue could be helped if more activity was in smaller clusters, where people didn't have to resort to outrageous strategies to get attention because there's less competition. (Discord servers provide one specific example of what I'm thinking of.) But it seems like as long as the global cluster exists too, people will seek attention on it too for its greater rewards, unless there's something about the smaller clusters that's even more rewarding.
If the data is stored locally, there is no need for any account/ email/ whatever anywhere. That's what is completely baffling here.
Thanks and appreciate your stepping forward to try something new (with a big hardware investment, at that).

I view note-taking (apps, or just on paper) as being about capture and later retrieval. But in a pretty static way--you take notes from a meeting, later you read them to remind yourself. Knowledge bases like wikis are more powerful version of this data in, data out mechanism.

Muse is about thinking. That means: pulling together a huge number of sources, arranging, culling, finding patterns, having insights. Which can then lead to a creative work (like a book or a piece of software) or a decision (like making managerial decisions as a startup founder or team lead).

Hope to hear how your journey with the iPad (and Muse) turns out :-)
And cat food is "basically" pâté. The Go toolchain lacks virtually all of the optimizations that a C++ compiler would employ in an optimized build and the Go toolchain also lacks all of the ways you'd achieve peak optimization for C++, such as profile-guided optimization and link-time interprocedural optimization.

These programs are are not even peak optimized but the C++ version still wins every case by between 10% and 1000%.

I think we learn more about the assumptions of the complainer rather than who wrote the "witty reply". That and the spoiler can be applied to any number of people in government agencies who are meant to be taking precautions and setting up contingencies.
Um... In my household we've gone through seven ereaders, used by four persons. Nobody has ever been able to bust the screen -- the reason people replaced their ereader was because the battery stopped being able to hold charge or the usb port to start wobbling. But the screens were fine, all the time. And e-ink screens are made by one manufacturer anyway.
i have the same experience. there is less retention when the object isn't permanent. that's another reason why i think it's important to keep notes as handwritten visually and not convert/OCR into typed text.
I’m afraid you will die on that hill and be replaced by a happy rural resident who was being abused by a local telco monopoly, but is now using competitively priced, fast, low latency satellite internet.

Using keps and scrubbing exposures in post is something we could already do decades ago. It’ll just be a new part of the workflow and eventually the space NIMBYs will quiet down.
Ask HN: What is the current state of Python in the SaaS world?
Is Python losing popularity when it comes to developing SAAS applications and/or web apps?

Perhaps it's mainly still used for backend development, e.g. Django?
What if we dammed the Mediterranean?
Did the book explore every home getting a vanadium redox or lithium battery? It seems like something that will be needed in the future (further adding to the decentralization). This of course will be expensive and I'm not sure how well tall condo buildings will handle the costs.

It could potentially increase the cost of buying a home in the future. Or significant investment from the government so we don't regress our back to having blackouts (especially when it puts even more pressure on the poor in the name of the environment)... either to homes or some centralized system.
>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.

You would need to massively over-provision your solar deployment because you not only need to produce enough energy for current needs, but also to produce enough spare hydrogen to bridge the intermittency gap ... and it is incredibly inefficient to produce hydrogen via solar-generated electricity. Worse than that, you need to over-provision not just for daily load (i.e. night and peak), but for seasonal (summer vs winter) and inter-seasonal variance. All this means you have huge amount of infrastructure that most of the time is doing nothing.

I'm also not sure about the feasibility of using hydrogen as battery backup. Hydrogen is notoriously hard to handle, move and store - and the fact nobody is building out this infrastructure right now is probably indicative of this.
>where Stripe suggested we alter the colors available

What? Like flesh colored was ok but definitely not green ones or something?
Oh wow! Thanks! I never knew that. I thought that info just wasn't accessible. It should be always visible ... at least, for the most recent message, since you'll want to know how old it is.

Side note, I've always suspected it's an issue of too many cooks in the kitchen. They spend tons on UX but end up with something barely usable.

A map card type would be incredibly useful—I use screenshots of Google Maps right now. Noted for the roadmap!

Web pages (including subsets) also a critical card type on our roadmap.

You're right that portrait mode is clumsy right now. We will fix this for sure--it's a challenging technical and design problem due to the spatial model.
How is the latency when "turning" pages or taking notes?
Bill Gates' nuclear venture plans reactor to complement solar, wind power boom
When I was last in Djibouti 2g coverage was spotty, something like 20% of the country had no coverage, no 3g.
Just off the top of my head, they'd have chargeback rate per-performer and per-customer. Or they may have some kind of internal scoring system that rates how "porn-y" a given performer is - maybe that correlates to chargeback rate.

Who knows - I'm just spitballing. But there are signals one could look at.
I wish I could find it, but there is a Wikipedia article on a railway spur in that region. If I remember correctly it was mostly built with gulag labor and it lasted a few years at most before it fell apart due to the climate and terrain (not solid ground).

It depends on how one defines transistor, but if the definition of voltage controlled switch is sufficient then one atom will do.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-atom_transistor

This has nothing to do with the mass produced transistors (yet!) those are 10s of nm across even in 3 or 5nm.
>It's amazing that there are 2 terabyte USB sticks for US$40

There aren't. There are scam products that claim to have 2 terabytes capacity though.
It's a bubble.
Coal plants also can’t produce on demand because of inertia and long start times (though they can balance a bit). The only thing that can ‘produce’ on demand is battery. Combustion Turbines come in a close second.

The peaks in the grid utilization curve actually tends to match the solar production curve pretty well (there are local deviations, running an aluminum smelter at night). Look at the demand curve in CA, you will see that it is flat midday. Before solar there was a peak midday. This creates issues on the ends (duck curve) of course but the key point is that solar production very closely matches peak electricity use.
That wasn't a joke on units of measurement. It was a joke on grammar.

Server-rendering React and puppeteer are the only two exceptions where I would pick nodejs over Go.
CAs have a lot of nice properties: translation invariance, locality, arbitrary population sizes, parallel computation, simplicity of implementation, and emergent complexity. Interesting to see where this line of work goes
That was really instructive. Thank you for sharing.
Excellent, will check them out.
Couldn't the paper feel be solved by a simple screen overlay on an iPad? Something thin enough to give the texture? Almost like an anti-glare screen protector. I'll admit, the pencil on glass just doesn't feel right. I'd rather some perceptible drag/friction. It also helps me reduce errors as my drawing and writing styles are abysmal so I need something to keep some traction.
Absolutely, as long as there was a maps app with traffic updates.
You have to explicitly call out your async blocks though -- even worse!
Not studies, but the geothermal active areas I've been to have stories of geysers/springs either coming out of nowhere, or disappearing. It's very rare, and mostly happens during earthquakes. I would imagine the same would apply to power generation.

Different use cases.

Golang is made for simple deployments, mostly services that need to scale, stuff you'd previously had to use something like C++ or Java for.

Dart is mostly relevant if you're building apps with Flutter.

Kotlin isn't Google's creation, they just recommend it for developing native Android apps instead of Java.
Laptops had touch pads even when mobile devices had styluses.
>but I can't see a practical way of doing it that wouldn't make it obvious to the user that something is wrong.

Maybe if the user is always on their toes and hasn't gotten complacent. You can probably fool most users by causing a technical hiccup (eg. "your session timed out", "Gateway timed out", wifi cut out, etc.), which will provide a plausible reason for them to press the button again. You can also fool them by faking a login screen when they're already logged in, which will allow you to hijack the request without worrying about the legitimate request. Unless they're truly paranoid, most users won't report minor glitches like that to IT, but for the attacker one hijacked press is all they need to own your entire infrastructure.
It will be interesting to see if they invest that extra money, and add to the boom of the economy.
I literally spend tens of hours a week on Stack Overflow ensuring this isn’t the case, or if it is that it’s clearly notated.

I have a similar device and while it's good for quick scribbling, it's really frustrating that you can't erase. The only option is to clear the whole screen. Still nice for quick whiteboarding though
> What happened to Dart?

Dart is one of the three officially supported and approved languages of Fuchsia.

https://fuchsia.dev/fuchsia-src/contribute/governance/policy...

The only language that came out of Google that people have a right to be upset about is PromQL. That's an abomination.
It is very useful as a way of providing backup for large generators that can fail instantaneously. Like a nuclear plant or a HVDC link.

Although, at some point it could be easier to just build coastal lagoons and let the tide do the work.
It does correlate... generally the numbers respect actual end performance in respect to one another, nobody's having a smaller name that's actually worse than the bigger name of a different company.
You're sad about the existence of discovery in our legal system? Or is there something about the way the AG received the documents not covered in the article?
In between the thing and your perception of it, there are so many layers of bending, stretching, reflection, quantization, imputation, and filtering, occurring through different physical, digital, and biological processes. Why does this one make the image not real?
I’m not particularly interested in whether Tesla is more or less convenient than whatever Mercedes is up to, what matters to me is that is is undeniably less convenient than the standard lever toggle that has been around since as long as I remember. In my 2004 4Runner I can go to any wiper configuration without taking my eyes off the road (or even thinking about it at all), I can do the same for head lights, radio, cruise control, A/C, traction control, transmission toggles, etc. To pay $$$ for a “modern” car that makes every one of those core operations more difficult is, to me, absurd.
This isn't health insurance - this is pay-per-month primary care, something which has been around for some time now. This doesn't cover ER visits or surgery - which is why most of us need the insurance (health or otherwise) - in case of an expensive disaster.
It would work just like running your house on a car battery, for about five minutes. My dad has 24 industrial lead acid 2V 450Ah cells which amount to 1m³ and 4.5kWh of usable storage since if you drain more than 20% you will kill the batteries too early. The 1140Wp PV array charges about 6kWh on a sunny summer day. We use about 5kWh daily in our apartment - that's no AC or electrical heating, just the basic appliances and a gas heater. He probably uses two to three times that amount, again no AC or electrical heating. Also lead acid batteries are rated for like 10y, PV retains 80% of its capacity for 25y, so you need to change 2.5 batteries during its lifetime. Batteries alone amount close to 50% of the TCO.

So good luck running the grid on batteries for more than 15 minutes. We'd probably need to cover Alaska with lithium batteries.

At least 40% base load is what is needed and one only gets that from nuclear and geothermal if we discard fossil fuels. Maybe solar thermal with molten salt storage too, dunno.
Google didn't make Kotlin or Rust o_O
$328/hr is the advertised operating cost of the aircraft (fuel and maintenance), not anything close to what a charter would actually charge. Commercial airline operating costs, including crew salary and overhead, are roughly an order of magnitude more (~$3000/hour is a rough, somewhat conservative, number for something like a B737, including fuel, crew, maintenance, and aircraft depreciation/rental costs). The airline is paying under $20 per passenger-hour for all expenses, while a charter service operating with volunteer pilots, free airplanes, and no other costs would break even at ~$55 per passenger-hour (assuming the $328/hr estimate is accurate, which is still very much an open question for an aircraft that's still undergoing initial flight testing and may never be produced in significant volume). Even the best-case scenario doesn't strike me as particularly competitive.
You don't need to build out of concrete. In fact concrete isn't a great material to build from, it just happens that the mass needed to work around its limits also stand up to hurricane winds. Conventional stick framed houses do fine in hurricanes when engineered to modern building codes. You see it once in a while when modern houses are near old ones in a hurricane.

Yes! I've lost count of how many times I've e.g. opened Google Calendar from my current Gmail window and have it pull up the calendar on a different account with no warning that it's doing that. (If I'm not logged in on the other, it asks me to log in with no option to go to the original.)

Somehow they made it impossible to specify or indicate the account in the URL to squash any uncertainty, you just have to hope the cookies are right.
Marketing people love to talk about marketing.

Identify a problem. Offer a solution that people are willing to pay for. The whys, whos, etc. are all wrapped up inside.

The potential upside can be derived from how many people have the problem and how much they are willing to spend to solve it.
No, that's not how that works at all.

Remember, astronomy images generally have long exposure times, which already involve tracking the sky, and then averaging out values in the exposure across minutes/hours/days/whatever.

A satellite passing over a point in the sky means that area of sky is affected for only a tiny fraction of the total exposure. As long as you have a database of all satellite locations, you just don't include data from those time slices in the final average. Or if you don't know where satellites are in advance, you just do basic outlier detection -- the kind that already eliminates things like airplanes, birds, the ISS, etc.

Nobody's filling in anything with "black", and the area of satellite interference can be easily expanded to include the "glow" area.

In the end, the quality of the overall image is degraded by a tiny fraction of a percentage, which can be trivially overcome by extending the total exposure time by the same tiny fraction of a percentage.
I'm a bit shocked that that seems to be the take here.

You don't need to have a background in Economics to see what has been happening even before the pandemic, and what is certainly to come. What is happening in the bond market? What has the Fed been doing for about a year now? What is the normal rate of zombie firms? What is it now? How many companies simply won't reopen? I could go on for hours.

This isn't tea-leaf reading. The signs are 100ft high and in neon.
Same with grafic tablets. You can't get around that. Which is okay – normal pencils wear down as well.

I am a current paid user for Miro and use it in much the same way you show here but with the added benefit of allowing external collaborators on browsers.

But, if I didn’t include so many external users, I’d try this. Hell I may try it right now any way. Looks so smooth.
