> The internet has created the ability for any given subculture to discover instant validation and reinforce their beliefs into a tribe, which further solidifies and extremifies those beliefs.

I don't believe this is true. I remember "Ye Olde Days" (TM) of the Internet. You went to an independent forum or mailing list that supported your interest (video games, music, politics) and then you argued with everyone in your "tribe" about video games and music and politics regardless of the purpose of the forum (which is hilarious and endearing to me). You had friends and you had frenemies but you didn't have strangers. It was nice. It was a community. Some interest brought you all together but you didn't stay there solely for that interest. You stayed for the people.

Now what do we have? Complete corporate domination and centralization. All interests are segmented into hashtags and subreddits but exist in the same super-massive platform. And there conversation is moderated by two entities. Moderators and the mob. There is no community anymore because the community is too fluid and too large (sometimes its everyone on the internet). You don't know the people you argue with. And so argument can never be taken on good faith.

You know, I had more stuff written but can't quite complete the thought in words. I think I'll just make an alternative.
Understanding the Zig Programming Language
As a non-performance (including weight) practical matter as well, cadmium is just plain a rather toxic heavy metal. IIRC the EU has outright banned NiCd batteries entirely with a few very minimal legacy exceptions (medical devices I think?). Even though in principle part of the price is supposed to cover proper disposal EOL, people being people plenty got tossed and it's nasty stuff to have in a landfill even let alone elsewhere. There isn't any real treatment for it either as far as I know, normal heavy metal treatments like chelation therapy don't really work with Cd.

So I think yet another benefit of lithium is also that it's relatively easier to deal with over its whole life cycle. Elemental lithium is of course quite reactive, don't want to be directly exposed to it, but it doesn't stay that way in nature. That it's extremely abundant and distributed doesn't hurt either. While for economic reasons it makes sense to get it initial from naturally highly concentrated sources, and to recycle lithium packs, it'd be perfectly viable to pull it right out of the ocean with solar power if there was ever a need.

Python vs. Swift – Chris Lattner and Lex Fridman
And Rupert Murdoch
I don't understand why there are no powerline network industry standards fir home automation other than the aging X10 and we have to rely on wireless comms. Maybe the PRIME or G3-PLC industry alliances will change this and come up with something useful. This is also needed for smart grids. It would eliminate the need to run parallel wiring for automation or use wireless tech. Separation could be done at the circuit breakers with lowpass filters and cable runs could use shielded cables with the shield connected to earth in order to eliminate crosstalk and prevent the power network become an antenna and pollute the radio spectrum with RF noise. Today's network tech for smart homes is immature and relies heavily on WiFi and industry standards designed for computer networking when in reality what is needed is something like a powerline bus for flipping switches, reading meters, remote controled power factor correction and so on.

> we need a service for micro-consulting where I can talk to an expert for 15 minutes

This is the problem. There are experts in the field with PhDs and other decorations to their name that contradict each other pretty starkly.

When it comes to mass hysteria, it's imperative to seek out a known source of truth. I cannot find one, however.
I definitely see both sides. Python is meant to be used exactly like this. It's an exemplar of python-as-library-glue.

I also saw the title and clicked on it because I thought to myself "no fricken way...in pure python?" It's a touch baity.
Owning a Lenovo X1 Carbon 7th gen, 2019, 4K screen, 16GB RAM. extremely impressed with the hardware, running Linux Mint and going to move to Manjaro.
Initially i tried PopOS! but they removed from Gnome the intermediate scaling (1.5X) of the UI, just like in MacOS you have Display - Scaled options.
I really like the per monitor setting which you don't have in Linux. (or i didn't research enough); e.g. More space on main display (external 4k monitor) and Larger Text on the macbook screen.
I'm also jumping ship due to the worst experience i had in 25 years dealing with technology, 1 month to replace a swollen battery with a 3rd party repair service. Apple throws now all this "complex" hardware issues to 3rd parties since their employees are pressuring them not to execute hazardous repairs in their own "centers"
If he wants to make a third-party run in 2024, let's encourage him.
NASA needs more time, money to bring back Mars rocks, review board says
I think a lot of people in these comments are missing the core dilemma a lot of these tech companies are dealing with. How do you deal with rampant misinformation that might be harmful to society as a whole? I think moving to putting disclaimers on posts instead of deleting them might be the right move but it’s honestly just a hard problem.

> Why does it take a lot of data? Afaik you can select lower quality in youtube-dl but you don't even need video do you?

But you need supervised data too.
>The problem is that real world, physical business data is taken from what one can get, not what one would want.

Yea, sorry, but part of your job in data sci is to collect the right data. Data doesn't magically exist and we are not stuck with what's out there. A data sci job is to figure this stuff out. Tech has a weird culture of not doing their job. Kind of like the Zip Recruiter ads. "Working as a hiring manager, hiring new people is the worst part of my job." Bitch, that IS your job. If you dont do that, what's the point in keeping you around? Bee keepers collect honey. Yea it's not exactly easy if you're not careful, but they dont bitch about it because they knew what they signed up for.

Data sci/analysis is about collecting and analyzing data, in not straightforward ways. Because if it were easy and didnt require any effort, why are they needed?
>Poor countries have always been a testing ground for vaccine, since their lives are considered to be less worth than ours and their countries hardly have any regulations in place, let alone institutions to enforce those regulations.

Is this what's actually true (and you have evidence of). Or is this just your cynicism informing your personal belief?
I don't have them in my bedroom, so that hadn't occurred to me. It's configurable though apparently.
While what you said is true in general, I believe it is debatable in this case, as Redis (at least the subset implemented in this experiment) is something very very special, it is essentially a hashmap attached to the network. There aren't much stuff left if you offload the "hashmap" part and the "attached to the network" (I/O + protocol parser) part. In other words, in this case the hashmap implementation itself is the business logic of your application.
Thanks. I needed it enough times to warrant making it easily accessible for everyone. Great work yourself!
Wish you luck in getting over this period.

Just keep in mind that your advantage is Computer Science and speaking English, use that to get yourself to a better place.

I know it is hard with Mandatory military draft, blocked banking system, covid lockdowns and many other issues, but it is doable.

> We also charge $0.01/GB of bandwidth

Can I ask why you are charging such a high price for bandwidth, or indeed why you are charging for it at all?

The only providers I know of that charge such ludicrously high prices for bandwidth are AWS, Azure and GCP - and it's frequently called out on HN as being a despised practice.
The article fails to mention that there are different polio vaccines and leaves the impression that there is a risk of polio infection from all vaccines.
Actually, if your goal is to stay up-to-date on specific topics, tools like Discord and Slack are much better IMO because of the way they work to allow two-way communication. Even Reddit is offering a similar setup now.

If you do want to continue in Twitter, change your location. I used to follow key topics (like Go and Flutter) on Twitter, but couldn't avoid the nasty "trends" Twitter throws at you that (IMO) are very biased. So, I set my location as Iceland (I live in the US), and after that life has been good. :)
It is a general theme, people say how they are switching their specced out 2019 16inch MBP to these new M1 Macbooks, then getting all upset when people point out, they are probably not the professionals the top-end MBPs were aimed at.

A lot of people run around with way more powerful laptops than they actually need for whatever they are doing, because it's through a business or it's deductible, but news flash, buying a Macbook Pro doesn't make you a pro.

A question, if ALL pros were fine with 16GBs of RAM, why does Apple offer 4x as much? Answer, because a lot of people will actually need it.

I am happy for people who will get these new devices an be happy with it, I might get one too. But truth be told, most of us getting these devices could make it work with the latest iPad Pro + Magic Keyboard just as well. (OK, I do need to code occasionally, but even for that there is pretty ok apps for iPad I could use)

The expectations have to come the fuck down from where they are today, because the expectations put on these devices are just crazy. It's so overhyped that I think many will be disappointed, when compatibility issues surface and when people realise that the 3x, 5x, 7x performance digits are mainly down to Fixed Function Hardware and Accelerators and general performance increase is just slightly above the generational leap we are used to, with a bigger increase in efficiency.
Most people can’t drop google at any time. They can’t afford buying a new phone, buying a new computer (all those chrome book users), and everything else.

>rice & beans

Cooking rice and beans at home is cheaper, better for the environment and more healthy than most of the food on door dash.
Love the idea of that phone! And would love it even more if:

- it had 3 USB-C ports

- out of which 2 were USB 3.1 standard with alternate mode HDMI capable of FullHD resolution

- it had processor that achieves in geekbench 5 somewhere between 1.5k - 2k points multicore at least

I know, I know - need to wake up ;-)

Conservative judges have no problem with legislation from the bench when they're the ones doing it. Again, they pretend to use an impartial "originalist" principle when decision-making but cherry-pick the "original" texts they use or ignore them when they would lead to ruling in a way conservatives don't like.

How is it "originalist" to take the 2nd Amendment, which refers to "well regulated Militia," and using it to say there's a Constitutional right to owning a handgun for personal protection (without safety requirements like a trigger lock or safe)? It's not, yet that's what conservatives decided, specifically Scalia in his majority opinion in District of Columbia v. Heller.
I'd guess there is no up and the down face seems to be used for a few buttons with "presets" (bed, work)
Not the original poster, but plenty of people have higher priority obligations in life outside of their job that would make it impossible to move. Family, health, etc.

I'm not trying to personally attack you either, but one trend I have noticed on HN is many comments acting like everybody is an unencumbered 25-year old American CS grad for whom the world is their oyster, and not quite "understanding" that others might be stuck in the real world due to circumstances not quite of their own choosing. A lot of which leads to innocent comments like yours pushing readers further into despair and less likely to ask for help.
> if you run a phone line parallel and close to an A/C line, it will induce a 60 cycle hum in the phone line

Isn't twisting the pairs supposed to prevent that? Isn't that what makes it feasible to run telephone lines on the same poles as electricity, thus allowing the POTS system to be practical?

Yes, that didn't help of course. JPEG2000 was a bit more efficient than JPEG by virtue of being a newer, more computationally intensive format, not because of wavelets. A modern format like the h.265 derived HEIF still uses DCT/DST based transforms. For video the situation is worse, as AFAIK no-one has been able to come up with a decent wavelet based motion estimation algorithm.

> Given the choice between (a) a corporate OS that requires me to perform some amount of work to "turn off" some "features" the corporation has enabled and (b) a non-corporate OS that requires me to perform some amount of work to "turn on" the "features" that I want to use, I prefer (b).

actually default on, is not a problem if it is easy to turn it off in that case.
if apple would have had a button to turn it off, we would be fine.
This was the argument for php in 2010.
I agree. Another thing to consider is portability. You might have to port your software to obscure platforms with bad C++ compilers where compiler bugs are not uncommon at all, so it's better to stay clear of more advanced features. Also, you might have a legacy system which does not have modern C++ compilers, so you might have to restrict yourself to C++03. Another thing is code size, so templates should be used judiciously.

Correct.

Certain kinds of lithium batteries can be limited by the availability of other elements used in them, which are less abundant than Li, e.g. cobalt.

There are efforts to reduce or eliminate the use of such elements.
Serverless has its place. I am not sure if I'd chose to build a shopping cart on Serverless just yet (Next.js' recent forays notwithstanding), but for something that is stateless (like content distribution, capturing metrics and logs, serving static webpages)...oh, is it a breeze.

That said, I see many promising upstarts and incumbents in the space trying to make stateful Serverless easier by the day. Things can only improve and improve they will. I'm bullish.
You said Midwest, but are you sure you don't just mean Chicago? Chicagoland is the single place I've heard about residential work requiring conduit.

I had a house with mostly Armored Cable and came to appreciate it. Especially after I opened up a floor and found an exposed conductor on some Non-Metallic that had been chewed by a squirrel.
There's already a steady rise in unhinged right-wing media (newsmax, OAN) who have shed any fig leaf of journalism and are taking a bite out of Fox. Trump could really set off an arms race in misinformation and pandering.

Relative to what? Paperspace is one of the costlier GPU providers.
The Pinephone supports convergence, but there is still a lot of work needed on the software side. The under-laying technology "Plasmashell" is able to run different view modes: the traditional desktop mode, the mobile mode and the smart tv mode (https://plasma-bigscreen.org/). The missing link is the possibility to switch the view at runtime.

Now while I think the feature is cool, I'm not sure how useful it is. I don't really see myself using it and would prefer in almost all the case using my thinkpad with a good processor and plenty of RAM. This might change with future versions of the Pinephone getting more powerful with the time. For the moment, I'm happy to have the convergence of the applications with Kirigami, so that I only need to develop them once and use a similar interface on both my phone and laptop. And having KDE Connect to share stuff between my phone and my laptop.
> I may have contributed hundreds or thousands of dollars of my time to the project

Sure, but that was you deciding to do it, and it's commendable.

This is very different from someone emailing you and telling you to (or expecting that you will) donate thousands of dollars of your time to a project.
I haven't used them but I think the most important benefit is collaboration (sending pull requests etc...) is done via email and thus is less centralised platfomr than github/gitlab which uses their own mechanisms.
Boring tech is great if your primary concern is writing business logic. Ideally, this should always be true, but of course the reality is that people's jobs often have them working on products they don't really care for. And of course, it's easy to get distracted by tech anyway. Experience also comes into play when it comes to loving "boring" tech—it took my around a decade before I was sufficiently jaded that almost all I want to do is write actual business logic. I still love refactoring, though :)
I haven't used Sourcehut, but almost no other CI service I know of provides FreeBSD or OpenBSD runners.

Wow. Twitter sure has been around a lot longer than most people realised. ;)

Something like that already happened in Star Wars!
I'm looking at Blazor/wasm nowadays and it's causing me an awful lot of nostalgia when I think back to the early days of Rails (if '08 can be called early days per-se), because of the shit show back then with various tech stacks and the grunt work required to get a site up with some DB backed data source and whatnot.

And I feel like today we are back to some kind of a point of having to shoehorn FE/BE tech together unless we use some isomorphic approach which, predominantly, forces the use of JS.

And I remember DHH commenting on this regarding Java and saying something to the tune of "Why would I write Java when Ruby is so much better?". Back then I thought such a statement was too indignant, like someone getting on their high horse about a particular kind of building material that is better above all else. But nowadays, I see the wisdom behind it all the same.

I just want simple bloody tech that treats the browser as a layout and input handling engine and lets me write code in any language I see fit, whether it's Ruby, F#, C#, Clojure, whatever. I'm hoping Blazor or something like it can deliver on that vision.
I take the contrarian viewpoint here. I think the division is good. There's no reason people in the valley should have to live by the cultural rules of the people in Jackson Mississippi or vice versa. That's exactly what happens right now under our political system. The US has at least two distinct cultures and the more they grow to despise one another the sooner we can have an amicable divorce and allow each group to live freely. There can never be mutual respect when we toggle back and forth between who is forcing their will on the other.
I count simplicity as a feature. Not knocking GitLab, from a business perspective they provide the same capability.
That is fine. And now, because of this, many of us are now considering not having Apple in our tech future. And that is fine too.
You don't know empathy (deep into others), what you say is deep into yourself. Not same. Painful is from their negative emotions, plus (for superempaths like me) emotions from all people round you, not you solo.
That's the problem with Twitter, you can't follow only a subset of tweets of a person that is related to a particular interest of that person. You only can follow everything the person tweets, likes, and retweets (albeit randomly filtered by Twitter's AI logic). Which makes it hard to exclude various nonsense from the feed.

I wish Twitter allowed people to tweet into different personal channels, and I could only subscribe to the personal channels I'm interested in.

>leaves the impression that there is a risk of polio infection from all vaccines.

To who? Did you think that? How did you manage to not get that impression? Don't trust the rest of the readers to figure things out?

What if the reason why there is so much mistrust of the news media is precisely because they take the same approach - that the reader needs to be forced fed a very specific interpretation and any contravening facts suppressed, lest they get the wrong impression from using their own head.
