These things trade away some runtime efficiency for developer productivity. And for many applications, that's the right trade. That's not really what Rust is about, though. I think .NET will remain a better choice for that kind of application. I just hope .NET gets a good full-AOT solution (including whole-program optimization) for desktop apps, so users don't have to pay excessively for that tradeoff.
I'm getting what looks like roughly a 6000 kbps stream (quick calculation from fragment size/m3u8 fragment duration). It looks very good for 1080p.

As a comparison I'm typically getting like 1500 kbps from Netflix on a 1 gigabit per second connection on their "HD" plan.

There is a very strong modern technocratic movement. Personally I believe that it has some improved ideas and some outdated or invalid ideas.

The ideas of integrating holistic information, planning, and acting as a government to succeed in goals make sense to me. However, I feel that it is crucial for the system to be able evolve with some freedom and flexibility in the parts.

So my belief is basically that we need to update the technocratic ideas with our knowledge of distributed networks and human psychology.

So the starting point for me is things like Ethereum and maybe IPFS, where the government, rather than trying to dictate a lot of things, is largely encoded as a set of distributed protocols that allow for large scale information collection and aggregation and multiple forms of implementation as well as fine-grained regulation where necessary.

But it's not a monolithic pre-planned structure. It's more like a technology platform for working together that allows for new and better ideas to compete while sharing data and cooperating in core ways (such as ubiquitous markets). And let's individuals or companies have some degree of autonomy and reward.

The actual reason people are leaving the city are high rents and small apartments. How the hell do you work from home when you're sharing a place with roommates? And affording extra space for an office given current rents is a huge problem.

Yes, I agree. We're probably not going to exceed fundamental limits.

However, some number of fundamental limits might turn out not to be fundamental or there might be a way around rather than through them. We can't be 100% sure of what's impossible, but it is stepping into the realm of the extremely unlikely, at least from our current understanding of the universe.

But also, does this also apply to your own cloud hosted offering? Without sorting this out, all the software in your cloud hosting product now has to be fully open-source.

I registered a .as domain for my last name (ending in 'as') and managed to set it as my primary email on Facebook shorty before they decided to block that domain for no apparent reason. For years (until I deleted my FB account), I had a message on the top of my feed asking me to confirm my email even though it was already confirmed but I could never do it because of the block. Tried many times to get it resolved but no success. And to this day, people cannot send posts or messages that contain my domain (website or email) anywhere on Facebook and Instagram.
That's a false dichotomy. This is obviously a balance, and someone will be upset (or sick or worse) no matter what choices are made.

I'll say this - all of the resulting pains are temporary except one. Maybe we should continue to be thoughtful of that as we battle what is a temporary struggle.

The internet seems to (as always) go in circles of history.

First it was not OK to have click-bait titles, as readers felt tricked. If you got accused of click-bait, you tried adjusting the title so people didn't feel tricked.

Then people starting to do as click-baity titles as they could and get away with, until they were found out, then they adjusted until the next blog post.

Now people write click-baity titles and even admit it in the first paragraph! And still, judging by the amount of blogposts that does this, people read through the post, even if they got bait-and-switched.

Same sentiment around selfies. At first it was frowned upon, what kind of narcissist person takes photos of themselves?! Then it was OK for the most superficial people to do it, they are narcissists after all. But suddenly the tide turned around and now it's weird if you're not posting selfies every now and then.

>>"However, it seems "wasteful" in that it would branch into gazillion trees of reality."

In a way, it could be interpreted as very efficient. Only the branches where some "measurement" is done are "calculated". I suppose the others are garbage collected at the end of time, or something like that.

And maybe it's not a tree, but a graph of universes. In the same way that a universe split in two, two universe could also fuse into one when they share the previous state. Somehow it feels like this have to be connected to reversible vs. non-reversible computation.

It's just a handful of streets. It's certainly not endemic to the city. 99.99% of seattle doesn't have that issue. Unfortunately for seattle, that problem is concentrated around the touristy section.

Ask HN: How to plan a webapp before building it?
Hi everyone,

I was wondering what level of planning do people do here before diving into making a webapp?

e.g. Let's say a customer comes along and asks for a 2 sided marketplace for renting bikes.

What would be a gold standard level of spec/planning before we start building things?

Should we make low fidelity wireframes?

Plan a site map?
User types and privileges?
User stories?

Background: We to build webapps for customers using bubble.io (nocode platform). It's too easy to just dive in and figure things out as we go but I've found that we end up reworking quite a few things. I'd like to rework less and plan more.

I'd appreciate the wisdom of the HN crowd.

Ideal would be light overhead but accurate spec. Although not sure if that exists.
I think you might have it reversed. I think the LoL announcement is mostly catering to the LoL playerbase (which is mostly located in China) rather than a great ploy to steal PC gaming share.

By viewing the color of the ball you’re not notifying the other ball to change its state(in a way that can be measured). You will only know that once the ball is observed it will have a certain color.

The only way I can foresee this being used to transmit data faster than light is that if you both agree to perform an action depending on what color ball they see. If you both view the ball at some agreed point in the distant future, you will instantly know what action the other person will do.
I currently have half a dozen unused phone chargers in a box that I didn't actually want because I already have more functional multiport chargers in my house.

The moment you move from your first phone with an included charger to your second or third phone with an included charger, one of those chargers has a high likelihood of becoming effectively pointless. Not because the new one is any different. Just because now you have two when you only needed one.
Maybe a hot take, but I'm fine with this.

It would be nice if I could somehow donate all my unused power bricks and folks who need them could get them for free.

Discrimination is discrimination everywhere, as it applies to all activities where people make distinction and treat some things, people or activities differently.

But I'm arguing that when you hear "X is discrimination" then it's wrong to automatically imply that X is bad or X should be changed - there's just a narrow subset of discrimination that's immoral and should be avoided; and there's a narrow subset of discrimination that's illegal discrimination (there's some overlap between these two subsets but they are not exactly the same of course), but most discrimination - and certainly the default situation - is just reasonable human activity of us applying common sense and acting according to the specific situation instead of blindly acting the same no matter what like robots would, it's completely normal to adapt to the specific person and act differently to be most suitable with them, make adjustments and custom approaches for different individuals which definitely is discrimination but there's nothing a priori wrong with that. For example, custom pricing is one form of discrimination - offering a discount for students or senior peole is certainly discrimination, but we generally consider that it's entirely appropriate.

And in certain cases a lack of discrimination would be completely immoral - for example, the concept of "reasonable accomodations" is a requirement for discrimination; for example, a policy that forbids electronic devices in an exam does not discriminate in any way and applies equally to anyone (in colloquial language one might call it a "discriminatory policy" but that's wrong; perhaps I'm nitpicking on that but it a misuse of words to mean their exact opposite), but as it forbids hearing aids for people who need them, then that non-discrimination is bad; and also simply equally allowing all devices would be bad for other reasons, so ADA and equivalent laws require to discriminate and apply different rules to people with different abilities.

So if you see a practice that seems definitely bad and harmful, then "is it discrimination?" is the wrong question to ask, since it's very likely that it may be harmful but not discrimination, or it may be discrimination but nothing wrong with it; these aren't edge cases, the overlap is just partial. The proper question to ask is whether the criteria of the discrimination is fair (the up-thread issue of discriminating upon wealth certainly is debatable whether that should or should not be acceptable) and whether the results of that discrimination are appropriate.
that is... remarkably prescient.
