Yes, but that's not the comment I am responding to was talking about. The parent comment was about having to pay CA state taxes after moving out of CA - which everyone has to do right now due to most of the employers not willing to update the work location. So just physically moving outside CA doesn't get you off the hook for CA taxes.

But if remote work becomes the norm, companies will update the location. My comment had nothing to do with updated incomes based on the location which is of course going to be the reality.

Disclosure: not a tax accountant, talk to to one if you want accurate information.
Ractor: A proposal for a new concurrent abstraction without thread-safety issues
from Soutarowho who did the type system for Ruby 3:

We defined a new language called RBS for type signatures for Ruby 3. The signatures are written in .rbs files which is different from Ruby code. You can consider the .rbs files are similar to .d.ts files in TypeScript or .h files in C/C++/ObjC. The benefit of having different files is it doesn't require changing Ruby code to start type checking. You can opt-in type checking safely without changing any part of your workflow.[1]

So UX-wise I don't know. While it's nice to have them separated, you are just faster if you have types in the code in front of your face when the IDE warns. Otherwise you will context-switch on any warning/error. This could get significant since you code just based on the LSP's output sometimes for hours. The IDE could help here with showing the definition when warning but still, if you want to change the definition or want to see more than just a snippet you will constantly jump between files.

Also .d.ts files were introduced to type old code and as an fallback and as a secondary option, At some point, Matz and Soutaro need to integrate types into the language itself to get the same level of productivity other typed languages offer, eg. Rust/Go/TS.

The next thing is IDE support, anyone knows more?

Neat Landing page.

This addresses a part of problem I have been trying to solve for myself. So its a good start.

I have tried bookmark managers but there isn't a tool that does it all.

I would like to highlight lines on a page or email (gmail), write my own short notes on the article, or auto categorize the articles based on content (assigning tags is hard work - I feel it's hard to create a hierarchy of bookmarks).

The categories can be based on regular sites that I visit, Content of the page. Something that helps me find an article faster without having to put more effort in organizing.

Fair play, but camera prices are not part of the tech I was talking about. I come from the motion picture world, so a $60K+ camera is also quite cheap. I've used lenses that cost >$60K each, so maybe I'm desensitized to camera prices.

I was talking about cheap electronics to make the LED builds that make for cool blinky blinky things. OSS running on commodity hardware in the form of Arduino/Pi/etc allows for dependably repeatable motion control. For a few hundred dollars, you can make your camera appear to float and run all day on a single LiPo battery charge. You can literally make your camera fly with very affordable drones. You can buy BT/WiFi components so you control all of this with your phone. If you were a hacker 20 years ago, your inner youth would be drooling over this stuff.
A more extreme approach that may or may not work for you is to make the community invite-only.

Track the network of invites and shadow-ban linked accounts when you detect the spammer popping up. The spammer will eventually run out of invitees.

You can combine this with "no invitation required" short periods, where you make changes to the signup flow, spam detection, etc. and make the window short enough for the spammer to not have the time to adjust their bots.

That's not right. The Chandrayaan 2 failure has nothing to do with the Chandrayaan 1 discoveries. The lander of Chandrayaan 2 failed but it was not tasked with a follow-up science of any of these water-related discoveries. That is the job of the Chandrayaan 2 orbiter.

This isn't anything new. Apple has had this bot as far back as 2015. https://searchengineland.com/apple-confirms-their-web-crawle...

Everyone appears to be nervous because of the supposed search engine.
I believe this was part of their initiative to improve Siri results; when the service was even worse.
The CDNs are fine, push and subscriptions are mercurial at best and you have no choice but to use, and Siri is an example of Apple's cloud weakness.
Apple built their own search engine over 5 years ago, under the Siri / Spotlight umbrella. When people talk about Apple building their own search engine, they generally seem to expect a website dedicated primarily to web page results, but under the covers what powers Apple's Spotlight results is basically a search engine.

The big question would be what Apple would gain from a dedicated website for search results. Would people really switch to it from Google? Why would it be a better delivery mechanism for search results than Spotlight? Not sure the answers to these questions has changed much, from 5 years ago to today.
Other energy storage media, besides batteries, include underground compressed air, where the weight of earth on top substitutes for an expensive pressure vessel; and molten material, often salt, maintained at high temperature and ready on demand to vaporize a working fluid (such as water) to drive a conventional turbine. And, of course, the old standby is pumping water up to a dam or water tower.

The useful characteristic of all these methods is that they can ramp up power production very quickly. The turbine methods, like present natural gas fired generators, would keep the turbines ticking over at a low rate, and quickly increase the rate when needed. The advantage of the mine-staft weight, like the batteries, is that it can sit entirely turned off as long as you like, and start up instantly anytime.

The advantage of the turbine methods is that there are lots of existing turbines, already wired into the grid, that will soon be going unused.

> Whether monopoly power will be found in this situation will be up to a court

Yes... But it is very much not true that a court requires a literal monopoly in order for them to find behaviors to be anti-competitive. All that needs to happen is for a company to have significant market power.

So it is not a literal monopoly. Instead, it it having significant market power. And in the US, as of last month, if you are keeping up with the most recent data regarding market share, Apple has about 50% of the US market.

> iPhones currently have around 45%

Your data is about 6 months out of date. it is now around 50%. It is very much a defendable argument, that has a reasonable chance of standing up in court, that Apple, who has about half the market, in what is effectively a 2 player duopoly, could have significant market power.

That is a pretty reasonable argument, that has a real, non-negligible, possibility of standing up in court.
The decision that lead to this was releasing the new browser before it was ready. This was done because Mozilla can't afford to be maintaining and supporting two different browsers on the same platform at the same time. This is nothing to do with extensions per se. They are just a casualty of pragmatism; given the initial decision the team had to prioritise.

Secondly, Mozilla absolutely do have a responsibility to ship APIs that work to spec. It's not up to Addon authors to fix Mozilla's bugs (and that may not even be possible depending on the nature of the bug). And of course you're assuming Addon authors would be interested in going so far out of their way to support what is a relatively small user base.

>But let’s be clear about what they’re telling us: what we are buying for our employees. It provides no information about how those costs will increase or any “gotcha” features of the plan.

You're definitely right about this, but in my experience, they're all the same negotiated pricing. And the insurance companies will conveniently group different doctors/healthcare facilities based on their costs into different tiers.

You can also be sure prices will keep going up, and I like to assume that I am liable for my out of pocket maximum since healthcare providers just bill willy nilly anyway, so I know I need to keep enough cash for 2 years worth of out of pocket expenses (in case something happens in Nov/Dec of one year and carries into next year). Hint: plan to have babies in April/May, so any complications all get stuffed into one plan year, and you hit out of pocket maximum sooner. Plus you avoid the new inexperienced resident doctors coming in during June.

>It shouldn’t be, there should be a way to properly decouple employment and healthcare.

It's really simple, remove the tax benefit from employers purchasing health insurance, and give it only to individuals purchasing on healthcare.gov. Ideally no one would have a tax benefit period, and everyone would be forced to go to healthcare.gov and employer plans and whatnot would be outlawed. Politically, big business will fight that though since price transparency helps people compare job offers properly and makes it easier for people to change jobs.
Some context is definitely required here - Derek Smart, a game developer INFAMOUS for producing buggy, late, overpromised grandiose you-can-do-anything games (think No Man's Sky if it never got fixed) is giving his take on another overpromised grandiose you-can-do-anything game.

I'd take his assessment with a huge lick of salt, if that's what it takes to cleanse sour grapes off of your palette.

I'm in Stage 4 lock-downs here in Melbourne, Australia. Over the weekend I threw together a hacky little project that lets you stream your screen in a way that anyone joining can cast that stream to their Chromecast without the latency of Twitch, Youtube Live etc.

It was built with Jackbox Games in mind i.e. I can stream Jackbox Games and my friends can cast that to their TVs whilst answering questions on their phones.

It's P2P, so your computer directly sends the stream to each participant individually, which obviously won't work with a large number of people watching the stream. So it's by no means trying to be a replacement for real streaming services. It's just a handy way for a small number of participants in your game to get Jackbox up on their TV, so they don't need multiple devices in order to participate.

It's implementation is far from optimal e.g. the WebRTC signalling server uses polling instead of Web Sockets. However, it gets the job done.

They have a lock on mobile devices for the western world. They can by default pry away search revenue from Google at a large scale. They have the cash reserves to see this done properly.

Judging from the responses here, some of the reasons seem to be because Apple Maps is much more vertically integrated with iOS, and that doesn't seem like a good thing to me. Sure, you may get a better experience, but that's more likely because Apple is keeping Google Maps from getting as good than because it's a better solution, period. I have no love for Google but that's not a good model, and I feel like this kind of thing is making Spotify's case for Apple being a monopoly much stronger.

It is my understanding that the error rates skyrocket when patients are handed off between medical staff. Longer shifts reduce the number of hand-offs and thereby reduce the number of errors overall, despite sleep deprivation being a source of errors in itself.
> And the courts have yet to interpret what is illegal

In similar cases, they absolutely have talking about what is illegal, regarding anti-competitive behavior.

I would encourage you to read up on similar cases, in order to see what courts have said on the matter.

And the courts have said that it does not require a literal, singular monopoly in order for anti-competitive behavior to be illegal.

All that has to happen is for a company to have significant market share, for anti-competitive behavior to be illegal.
Alternatively: Would people really switch back to Google if Apple changed the default search engine on iOS?
Yes. Apple hardware is a business model but the search engine business is a hefty one.

Use REST for reading, but RPC-style calls for writing.
Benefits:

1. Every write-call is a transaction

2. You can have complex filtering and sorting in the read/access side of your API without having to worrying about the update-side of things.

3. You can evolve the read-API, even change semantics and return different objects and again, not worry about transactions.

4. You are not limited to the HTTP-standard.

And this city (Houston) has so many problems I don't know where to start... Highways are one of them because nothing is dense, but its a brutally self reinforcing problem in a city that refuses to invest in any other kind of infrastructure.
Not to deny that this has a legitimate use in graphics and stuff I don't know about...

But I suspect I will see this misused more often than used correctly, when penny-wise and pound-foolish programmers feel, absent any performance or memory issue, that they don't "need" a float or double. Kind of like how when people are new to programming they often reach for uints when they "don't need negative numbers" and then get surprised-pikachu-face when their sanity checks for (x - y >= 0) are always true.
Typically, your light painting source is very low power so that it builds up over the course of the exposure without over exposing. Doing long exposure with people is hard. The subject would be required to stand extremely still. Any movement will cause the subject to be blurry as they will literally be appearing in multiple places within the image. If the subject moves too fast, they will completely disappear from the image. We use this technique frequently in music videos. I've also experimented with using flash strobes to expose the subject in the split second even though the shutter remains open. At that point, your subject can move out of frame and still be exposed from the flash.

> Yet and still console makers have been doing just this for 30 years.

It is well accepted in anti-competition law, that the size of the market and market share matters greatly in determining whether certain behavior is illegal.

The larger the market share that a company has, and the larger the market, the more likely the anti-competitive behavior is to be illegal.

So, in the case of consoles, consoles have a smaller market and market share than Apple does.

Apple is now a 2 trillion dollar company, and has about 50% of the phone market share, in the US, as of last month.

They have significantly more control over a significantly larger market than consoles. Thus their behavior is much worse and much more likely to be illegal than that of consoles.

> Which is more likely, companies have been breaking the law for years or HNs understanding of the law is flawed?

Whats more likely is that you have not read any actual court cases or judicial decisions on the matter, to be frank.

The stuff that I states is pretty well accepted among the experts.
Because the EHR system is not itself an independent system, but part of a broader complex that also includes handling of financial transactions, and financial transactions are what moves money.

Have you ever used a flat file database? I envision the perfect database having a file system API that automatically sorts and can be edited using standard files, but stores data using like JSON or YAML.

If Apple Maps has taught us anything, probably not. But Apple would first need to pour an equally large amount of resources into web search, they way it did for Maps.
Certainly that's an issue, but again you can't really blame the vendors if providers make extensive customizations to EHRs and then refuse to commit IT resources toward rolling out version upgrades.
A smartphone + raspberry pi does not provide any level of backup, so it is a disastrous setup for important data, such as pictures. Adding backup (and restore) functionality is pretty non-trivial. Adding high-availability ups the level of difficulty even more.

But I also need to work with Wikipedia, with StackOverflow's database of answers, with Amazon's database of products, with YouTube's and Netflix's video databases etc.
