> In my opinion, batteries will be a technically and economicly superior solution for all uses other than where weight is extremely critical such as in aircraft.

I was excited about the use of hydrogen in aircraft for a while but the more I looked into it the less likely it seems. I think the advantages of liquid fuels are too great and that even if there were no oil production it would still make more sense to synthesize jet fuel or some other liquid fuel for use in aviation.

This has nothing to do with feasibility (the Soviet Union had an airliner that ran on hydrogen, so hydrogen aircraft are absolutely feasible), just with lock-in effects and ease of use.

They gave me a "sedative" for my colonoscopy. They just said it will make me really relaxed and maybe sleepy. I wasn't sleepy at all but boy was I relaxed! I remember laying on my left side, the doctor behind me controlling the scope, and the nurse in front of me but not obstructing the views of the monitors that were also in front of me. I was getting an awesome inside view of my guts! At one point I was feeling some pain and making some noises about it and the nurse told the doctor to hold on, apparently there was a pretty tight turn and she kneaded my guts so they could negotiate it. They did find a polyp and showed it to me on the monitor, TBH you have to have a trained eye to recognize those, so they biopsied it right then an there. The results came back a few days later saying it was benign. Unfortunately since they found a polyp they have me on a five year colonoscopy schedule instead of ten.

For those fretting about getting a colonoscopy, like I was, let me tell you it's no big deal. I've had dental cleanings that were more uncomfortable. In fact, there was nothing about my colonoscopy that was uncomfortable. Getting your guts cleaned out in preparation for the colonoscopy? Yeah that's a different story but the actual procedure itself is a big nothing burger.

Another interesting article where the author documents how to measure and adjust for camera lens-mount tilt on mirrorless cameras with a rotating lens adapter.

Lenses themselves often also have tilt from 50-200 microns, which you can also measure and shim.
I think it's targeted at modders. So they just get the code and take it from there. You get the misleading article.
> if I should exist

Absolutely no one is saying you should not exist. I hear this phrase a lot and it's pure religious ideology. Everyone exists. Some people may see you differently than you see yourself, but that doesn't mean they deny you exist. We each exist in our own realities, and part of being good human beings is accepting one another while recognizing those differences in our viewpoints and realities.

> so it's perfectly fine to believe that gays should not be allowed to marry while leading a company such as Mozilla

What kind of company is Mozilla? Is it just about Free Software and an open web? An open web means we need open ideas; and not everyone is going to agree on every idea.

Free software needs to be about keeping the software free. We can't start conflating that with every grievance known to man. There is an underlying connection between Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Software that we've somehow lost along the way.

> He supported at least 2, Prop 8 directly and a politician who opposed Prop 8.

So what? It is literally supporting a political cause. People need to be free to support political causes, even those you may personally disagree with. At one time, supporting gay rights, or saying God didn't exist, or translating the Bible into German were considered horrendous offenses[0]. These people were terrible and those who opposed them were keeping everyone else safe from those corrupt views.

Real freedom means being able to talk about and challenge views without fear of oppression by one's government or community. If we can't talk about and rationally discuss ideas and accept people with different moral compasses than our own, then we're in real trouble.

> Why do we have so many people leaving the state and the biggest amount of homeless per capita? I am not saying our government is the worst, but it definitely doesn’t seem to be meeting its own goals.

and elsewhere

> That has a lot to do with our tech oriented culture and weather. Most top professionals from other states want to move here or to New York. What are the policies from our leaders that have facilitated this growth? That’s like attributing the economy growth in the last 4 years to Trump.

So if you have a lot of high paying inbound movement, you're gonna get a lot of very expensive places. "Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded."

Your stance here is just "ascribe the things you like things to luck or non-political factors, but blame the politicians for the aspects you don't like." It hardly seems fair.
> I honestly do not understand. He said his personal opinions are not going to affect his decisions.

Words are cheap, I don't think it's at all unreasonable to think that some employees might not feel that way or trust him to back up those words with real actions.

> And I'm sure he can believe in whatever he wants - in Christ, Flat Earth and Aliens if he wants.

They sure can and I can choose who I work for. If someone thinks I don't deserve the right to get married (again, people want to gloss over this but he didn't /think/ that, he /thinks/ that) then it's not crazy that I might not want them as my boss and especially at a place like Mozilla that prides themselves on openness and inclusivity. Unlike most companies the employees at Mozilla did feel compelled and safe enough to speak out against their CEO, that doesn't fly at many companies. At a smaller company I worked at I had no protection to call out the president who would always lead the company in prayer before we had a meal even though I'm not religious. I personally think it's encouraging that many gay (and straight) employees did take a stand on this issue.

> As outsider it looks like in recent years the most vocal shaming is not of gay or fat but shaming of whoever does not participate in shaming. I really hope that these are not true representatives of LGBT community.

Then you haven't been looking and your outsiderness shows. Not all of us live in CA and not all of us are protected by labor laws where we do live. I've seen first hand fat shaming and heard plenty of language/jokes/etc that warned me that coming out would be extremely detrimental to my ability to progress and even do my job at some companies. If you truly believe that the backlash to people who are homophobes is worse than the effects of their homophobia then I encourage you reevaluate that stance. Also I'm not sure what you mean by "shaming of whoever does not participate in shaming", the "shaming" was aimed at the person who supported not allowing gay people to marry and the people who defended someone who supported not allowing gay people. You are describing it as if people were mad at other people for not calling Eich out, no, they were mad at the people defending him.

Mozilla employees were very much against the hatred directed at Eich.

There was even a blog post from a homosexual woman who worked for Eich, where she said what a great boss and friend he had always been to her, how well he treated everyone including gay employees, and how much the hatred directed at him was misguided.

The logical conclusion we have to make is that a political donation or opinion does not necessarily indicate bigotry.

I work with 20 year old codebase. Sometimes code can be too many times rewritten and git blame does not help and comments in these cases help a lot on why this feature exists
Thanks for the info, and to the contributors below for their comments too.

I also wonder -- in what vertical / horizontal configuration did they do the test? Lens pointing up, compressing the body? Or horizontal as if taking a normal photo? From their photo in part 1 of the story, it shows lens aiming at the ceiling.

I wonder if the weight/flexure of the body causes an appreciable change in especially plastic camera components, and therefore the lens-plane distance? Anyway, regardless I suppose the variation in camera bodies is the point, and holding in a different orientation would nonetheless produce this finding. (unless flexure only happens in a certain orientation)
> Oh, so you have the distinction between `function foo() { return; }` and `function bar() {}`. From the languages I'm accustomed to, yes, second syntax is first syntax under the hood.

The second function terminates, same as the first one, there's no real difference between them.

A bottom-returning function would be something like

function foo() { for(;;) {} }

that genuinely never terminates and thus never exits.
Design should not be trendy. It is not fashion.

I hope we don't bloat up wikipedia pages with too much whitespace. Getting of borders, "minimal" looks bother me so much because they're sacrificing layout for aesthetics. There is a reason why borders exist. It is a line segment that separates logically laid out content into groups.

I want Wikipedia to stay the same even if it is not ideal. There is a lot of legacy and "learned" behavior.

We need to add the familiarization factor to any UI changes. The amount of changes should at the minimum exceed the accrued familiarization of the UI...the longer the design remains the same, the higher this factor. It is crazy to think that we should not make a change if it is for the better, but there are a lot of people ... millions that use this less-than-ideal UI. There is something to be said about that.

Typographically, Wikipedia pages have too wide of a column width. This is a common problem not just with webpages, but with magazines and newspapers. There is a reason why the dimension of a book (such as a novel) is smaller than a magazine and that has to do with how wide of a column is comfortable for reading. We need to look at how magazines and newspapers solve this problem. They use columns. Larger fonts is not the answer nor is excessive whitespace because you're not solving the layout issue. It is just magnification.

If newspapers didn't exist and if web designers today were tasked to design a physical newspaper, it would be bloody 80 pages long and full of massive margins and fonts with no understanding about density of presentation. The web needs to be treated like physical media (yes, I said that, fight me). It is a rectangular 2D space that presents text - no difference to my retina whether it is a magazine, newspaper or LCD monitor in terms of spatial representation (not talking about contrast/backlit aspects). This was different a while ago, but today, the pixel density is great and we can almost treat monitors like paper (again, not talking about backlit issues).

Web designers today won't be able to design a physical telephone book. It would be called "Too overwhelming" for the user and it would be insanely big in 17 volumes.

> Even if we intentionally blow a nuclear power plant, it will not be an extinction event, not even close

The parent commenter did not call for 1 more nuclear power plant.

Increasing the scale of reactors to "replace fossil fuels", increases the chances, that some of them even a dozen would cause environmental destruction for which no known method of cleanup exists.

Arch Linux Conf 2020 schedule
From a consumer's perspective, the thing I like about electricity and batteries is that it is relatively easy to be entirely self-sufficient. You can install solar panels and/or a wind turbine and be able to store their electricity in batteries without depending on anyone else. But you can't set up a hydrogen fuel cell factory in your back garden. That said, dependence on others is precisely what many incumbents in the industry want, so they may be pushing for such solutions for their benefit.

Sometimes a CEO is brought in to clean house, sometimes a CEO is brought in to right the ship and stop bleeding, sometimes a CEO is brought in to liquidate everything or make the company attractive to buyers. And yes, sometimes CEOs fail, or succeed.

I find it highly unlikely that people hired for CEOs do not have excellent CVs or success stories to point back to, or a strong network vouching for them. This isn't a level I networking certification. This is a top position with top pay - the idea that there is a subset of people just gaming their way to CEO is hard to believe. That's not to say they don't politik. But I don't think it's like a programmer lying on their first resume about how much of that project they really contributed to on internship.
It would seem this CEO is intentionally trying to fail Mozilla. A real pity too as Mozilla’s privacy stance would have probably started to appeal to customers more and more over the next 5+ years.
"tiny little cute icons" is already a big problem in UX. Every designer should be testing the success rates of "little icons" against textual labels. If you have to have an animated tooltip on hover that says what the icon does, it's a big red flag.

Becoming a game developer in 1 year with no previous coding experience
In this video, I'm chatting with Jordan, an indie game developer and the creator of Haiku The Robot!

A bit over a year ago, he didn't know anything about game development or coding in general, but now he's in the middle of creating his own game. We talk about various topics like getting started with game development, what's the process around it, what is it like to jump into programming and fundraising money through Kickstarter.
Something they didn't really mention was that this requires uploading the document to their cloud, which I'm afraid is a pretty big downside.
Have you ever run user tests though?
No part of Tesla cars requires the use of mobile networks for basic car operation. It is just the extended functions such as pre-cooling the car remotely, or initiating "Smart Summon" (to have the car drive to you from across the parking lot) that requires mobile network connectivity. If you just want to do typical car stuff like drive somewhere you don't need cellular or Wi-Fi.
> If we let the infection spread unabated, most hospital systems will swiftly be overrun.

There is no reason to believe that. The hospitals weren't overrun in New York City, where the infection was not only not abated, but in fact the policy of sending infected people to nursing homes, and requiring them to accept them. Texas and Florida had very little cases before they locked down, and only started growing after lockdowns were mostly lifted. At no point were their hospital systems overwhelmed.

> The lockdowns are absolutely necessary to avoid panic and potential societal breakdown.

No, it's the lockdowns that are inducing panic. There was no panic during 1968 Hong Kong flu, which up until recently was worse than COVID-19 -- it only recently over took it. Where was the panic in Sweden?

> The lockdown was implemented to pause the system and determine just exactly how bad this was and come up with a response.

Why did so many lockdown measures persist, then? Sheer arbitrariness of it all shows pretty clearly that at this point is more about politician's power trip and sending message of doing something, and not actual public health concerns.
>"work-ish" goals.

I meant that not as goals related to work things - but instead, I meant that as in specific, actionable goals in your personal life. For example - "Before October 25th I will 'x' and Before November 3rd, I will 'x' and in the end I will see 'y' return for 'z' money by December 3rd" sort of formal, timelined and official goals.

It's just weird to me to think about a strategic planning process for a home life, I guess.

Does that make sense?

I think you answered my question - your goals/sitting down and planning out your life are sort of what I do, in a way that I would argue is not super goal driven.

"Once we have better batteries for storage, what problem do we have left that requires hydrogen to solve?"

Well... also storage. The cheaper it becomes to store energy as hydrogen the better. The fact that the overall process is less efficient than battery storage does not mean hydrogen will not be used.

The amount of energy that can be stored in batteries is relatively small, and there are only so many viable hydroelectric storage sites. We'll need more than one way to store energy on the grid level.

Hydrogen also enables countries to export energy. For instance, quite a few oil-producing countries receive lots of sunshine. Moving away from oil, they could produce hydrogen using solar power and export it elsewhere in the world. That might be less efficient than transporting the electricity directly, but much easier politically: just imagine building a power line from Saudi Arabia to Germany. How many countries would have to collaborate to make it work?

Edit: hydrogen can also replace other substances in process engineering. For instance, there are ways to produce steel with hydrogen instead of carbon-based fuels as a reducing agent.
My wife and I have been going through the films from the beginning. We're only up to '95 and they've all been great so far.
