> Then there's the myth that in dinner it 'evaporates' (TL;DR it does not in a meaningful way)

I'm going to take exception on this one. Alcohol acts as an _amazing_ pan deglazer and general solvent without any real substitute to carry flavors and aromas out of the pan and into the final dish. You don't even need much, maybe 2 tablespoons of wine get fond unstuck and dissolved. Some of it _does_ evaporate, you can literally watch it happen as it reduces in volume. You can flash evaporate a tablespoon of wine and return to a dry pan if it's hot enough. What it's not going to significantly evaporate out of is adding alcohol to an existing volume of liquid like a red sauce. It'll happen but not in an ideal or useful time frame. But for deglazing, try swapping your deglazing wine with broth, water or even vinegar and it's easy to see, smell, and taste that they are not functionally equivalent, an alcohol does the job so much better.

Now, if you or someone in your home has a problem with alcohol addiction or your religion forbids it, I'm not going to tell you to change your ways but for the average home cook (even a nondrinker) a bottle of wine kept next to the stove strictly for cooking purposes is an undeniably valuable tool.
> Several developers in the last few years have written about using AWK in their "big data" toolkit

AWK can be great for simple statistics. I wrote the "num command" tool entirely in gawk, to handle typical math for averages, modes, deviations, kurtosis, etc. It's handy for use on systems where a user can't easily install R/Julia/NumPy/etc.

> Capitalism does not force you to create an immoral business, or to treat your employees (direct and contracted) immorally. It doesn't even really encourage it.

It tends to encourage it by putting those at the top who manage to exploit the most. Capital also begets political power which makes it hard to counter that trend.

Congratulations, you've accidentally defined capitalism.
I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but the most basic thing I do not get about these complaints is if the people making them have ever seen the markup and overhead that goes into retail sales of physical products? It's not like I can manufacture a product, send it to Walmart or Bestbuy or whatever, and expect them to only add a few percent on top for credit card processing fees, so I can reap almost all the potential profit.

I realize what some developers are looking for is a way to directly reach consumers. Have they ever tried to ship physical products to consumers? Logistics takes a lot of effort. Sure, we're talking about software so the "shipping" costs are so small that it's hard to even measure on a single download of an app. However there's a whole virtual storefront with curation, ratings, security, payment processing, and the APIs and hardware platform trust that comes along with it.

If we go back to the physical store analogy, a lot of indie developers are getting value from being featured in the Apple or Google stores. It's a little like a large national retailer picking up some startup's product to feature in their stores. Or it's like being allowed to open a small store in a mall with major anchors. It means that the mass market will see your product and will trust it better than if you have some small shop off in some weird low rent location.

Maybe 30% is too much for this, or maybe the app review process should be better, or maybe developer support should be better, but acting like the platform and the store don't cost anything to maintain, and aren't worth anything seems really naive.

I agree and hope people don't take this in a defeatist way. I've found that the biggest impact you can have on anyone's behavior (adult or child) is to set the example. Kids can smell hypocrisy a mile away, and besides, they only know how to act the way the see. Work on yourself, and your kids will follow.

> Saying it’s a power relationship is another way of saying the same thing that you are saying here.

The way you frame the power imbalance is framed suggests that there is always something coercive and manipulative going on. A market rate suggests that a the hourly or daily rate for labour has settled naturally around a particular point through market forces in that particular area. Developers are more in demand in London so the day rate offered reflects that (typically £100-200 more).

You seem to be conflating two concepts into one.

> The amount of power that employer and employee have is based in large part on supply/demand.

What do you mean by power? I don't want to sound rude but the way you are talking about it is akin to how people talk about the force in star wars.

> However, power includes a little bit more: an employer who has a better knowledge of the market may be able to extract lower pay from an employee who doesn’t know their market rate, and an employee who is exceptionally well suited for a given job has more power to negotiate a better rate.

What you are arguing there is being informed about the market means that you won't get ripped off. Generally though there will be an approximate wage for a particular type of work based on how valuable the employee is and whether they can be replaced or not.

There are job boards these days online for almost anything you can work out what you are going to get paid for a particular type of role.

> Of course, this can also be reframed as a supply/demand scenario taking into account imperfect information for a given scenario, but that’s largely my point. They aren’t equivalent concepts, but they are closely related.

Again don't want to sound rude. This all read likes double speak to me. If you want to talk about a coercive power imbalance then talk about that. If you want to talk about market rates talk about market rates. Simply call things what they are.
> Isn't that basically what the Allegory of the cave is advocating for?

Because Apple requires them to. If I wanted to ship a PWA in a Firefox-based shell using no iOS-specific APIs other than required (rasterize using OpenGL ES + Skia, Mozilla's JS interpreter, etc) they wouldn't let me because I'm required to use their browser and JS runtime, among other things. And they've deprecated OpenGL, so now you have to use their custom graphics API too.

When will they change the name of the software itself? I’m pretty sure “git” is a more offensive term than “master,” as it means an “unpleasant or contemptible person.” The point of the word is to use it when intending to be offensive.
I'm glad I'm not the only one hating homebrew. It's become very anti-user in the past few years under the new maintainers. Even the original maintainer has said publicly that he doesn't like the direction the new maintainers took homebrew.

I used resources from bivector for part of implementation for excalidraw.com, and it did what I needed. It was an interesting lesson though in the difference between mathematical and software engineering priorities. I didn't need to support arbitrary dimensions (only 2D). I wanted my code to be readable, and functions to have typed arguments (so a function like orthogonalLineThroughPoint should take a line and point, and you shouldn't be able to pass the arguments in wrong order). So I wrapped the hard-to-remember and understand operators in a more friendly API, but it's a question whether I even need most of the "beauty" of the math then, or just unroll the few algos I need into the API. One counter argument is applying transformations to all objects uniformly. So I left the implementation as is in the end, but I wouldn't be surprised if it got ripped out later to save app size (if that was a big concern).

GA and tensors are closely related. I would say that tensors are more like typeless programming, the fact that you pick an algebra in advance is similar to encoding your invariants in terms of types.

Tensors are cool and all but they are a pain to work with. GA is more intuitive for working with space.

> The larger problem has the potential to affect every writer. Disney’s argument is that they have purchased the rights but not the obligations of the contract. In other words, they believe they have the right to publish work, but are not obligated to pay the writer no matter what the contract says. If we let this stand, it could set precedent to fundamentally alter the way copyright and contracts operate in the United States. All a publisher would have to do to break a contract would be to sell it to a sibling company.

That’s insane. If this were to hold up then any royalty obligation could be shuffled off to a shell entity?!
Most desktop applications also don't need them, or just use the standard style defined by the OS toolkit.

My larger point is that when you are developing a web app, it would be much easier if the framework was designed in a way that separated the concerns of presentation and behavior of the components.

Just to use Vue as it is what I am using now and had to get a bit more familiar: you have libraries like Vue Bootstrap and Vuetify (for Material Design) which have a lot of duplicate functionality yet are not compatible with one another.

If the concerns were separated, you could have components that have a common behavior and only differ in the visuals. Less work for everyone involved, easier for developers to get started, less unnecessary fragmentation and the possibility of positive feedback cycle between different design systems.

There is definitely business aspect in terms of warranty and customer support. In New Zealand for example, legislation guarantees a warranty window on new devices that the manufacturer cannot opt-out (Consumer Guarantees Act).

Highlighting either option for consumers would bring attention to the fact this is a hardware issue, which would void acceptable use warranties if the battery was degrading to be insufficiently usable within one or two years.

Or at least shadowing if training for that role would be too much.

Most people here are aware of this, at least at the university I went to this was explained in physics class and anyone who's messed with an arduino has experienced it.

The problem is that you really need to be able to override things like this. Sometimes users do in fact have a better grasp of the nuances of the particular situation they're in than the programmers do. Sometimes it makes a lot of sense to make this kind of trade off of stability vs performance.

To answer questions posed by others since I'm apparently posting too fast:

The reasons governments should intervene are well-elaborated in the blog post under discussion.

Governments worldwide already have plenty of control over what terms corporations can sell their wares to people on. For example, in Europe you must offer at least two years of warranty.

Corporations are government-granted legal fictions, so a government is free to impose whatever constraints it wants on corporations. In return, corporations get plenty of benefits like the ability to declare bankruptcy and not have it hit the pocketbooks of its executives. I would be fine with a regime where if a corporation doesn't abide by the rules, its executives become personally liable for debts, for example.

Ask HN: There has to be a better way to write web pages, right?
I've been writing front-end code for about 9 years now. Everything from custom JS frameworks with XML/XSLT bindings, to React, to plain HTML and a bit of jQuery and everything in between.

The whole time I've had the lingering thought, "There has to be a better of doing this than popping open my text editor and manually writing all these tags".

Was it the "field-group" tag I needed to wrap these in? Why won't this damn thing align vertically? What was the structure of that select element that's not actually a <select>? Why did I think this was a good career choice again? Even with years of experience, little things like these eat up so much of my time. I'm jealous of tools like Elementor that work well in Wordpress but not for custom frameworks that so many of us work in from day to day.

Pretty much all the ui builder tools I've seen are scoped to a specific framework, or aren't programmable/ extensible enough for me to drag and drop custom elements onto pages and save me dev time.

Has anyone else had the same thought? Are you using tools like this today and I'm just missing something?

Hi megous,
I created the spec table comparing the two phones.

The "2.7. Image In" section on page 10 of the A64 Datasheet (https://files.pine64.org/doc/datasheet/pine64/A64_Datasheet_...) calls MIPI CSI a "8bitYUV422 CMOS sensor parallel interface". Are you referring to that parallel interface or something else?

--------

2.7. Image In

CSI

•Support 8bitYUV422 CMOS sensor parallel interface

•Support CCIR656 protocol for NTSC and PAL

-Line-out L/R output

•Two audio analog-to-digital(ADC) channels

-96dB SNR@A-weight

-Supports ADC Sample Rates from 8KHz to 48KHz

•Support Automatic Gain Control(AGC) and Dynamic Range Control(DRC) adjusting the ADC recording output

Is that why they are hard to debug? I thought they were hard to debug because deep learning models consist of lots of black-box-ish components. I've worked with GPU software before, and it is a pain to debug, but you generally don't have to care about that level when using things like tensorflow or pytorch.
