I really want a rerelease of the original shows in higher quality. That might be the movement that spurs public interest for things like this app. I'm not sure of the quality of the original stock film, but it could be used to make a new high def release. I actually convinced my instructor in undergrad to show it for a "history of science" course. Perhaps the BBC could officially open up the rights entirely so that it can be used as a general teaching tool (might be near impossible - but the music, often a major rights hurdle for these aged rereleases, seems like it was all originally composed for the show). I would love a video like this to be augmented - something akin to the pop-up video series. You could link or show associated information during playback. I actually had something like that as part of my Master's thesis final project. It could potentially be an engaging learn-from-home project.

> so that the U.S. gets involved before Trump leaves office

If it's about the difference between Biden and Trump, it would be about the incoming administration being more likely to get involved, not less. Virtually the only thing Trump has done right in office was not finding some excuse to get us involved in military conflict (which I very much expected him to, to cynically whip up patriotism and knee-jerk "unity" to clinch his reelection.) Biden will return us to the conventional U.S. foreign policy of bombing with an easy conscience and wringing our hands with moral anxiety when we think about maybe not bombing.
IMO more of an indictment of the tower of babel in software development. Outside of games, we all basically do those things: browser, email, text, spreadsheet, word process.

Those things were reasonably well solved almost two orders of magnitude ago.

Software never bothered to optimize for snappiness, despite so many opportunities. So we got stuck with the same kinda-good response, and for mobile, a much more questionable kinda-ok battery life of 3-6 hours.

I mean, on a couple of node shrinks where the efficiency improved (because clock speed wasn't), could we have please attacked the battery life?

It takes an architecture change to highlight how inefficient desktop is. Unfortunately, desktop is an afterthought in terms of investment. The best hope for actual optimization is convergence with the phone OSs, which this is the first step of.

I saw someone riding a cargo ebike with a kid on it and went home excited to get one. Then I discovered it weighs over 70 pounds, which I can’t imagine working since to get it to my basement storage area requires carrying up several steps then down several more through the cramped bulkhead door. Maybe some people are strong enough for that not to be a significant annoyance, but I’m not one of them.
This happens to me quite a bit and I used to wonder what was going through people’s minds. If my calendar shows I’m busy or out of office, then I can’t meet.

But then I asked some people and they told me that most people’s calendars are not dependable and have all sorts of garbage. People have “auto accept” turned on and all sorts of weird behaviors.

I try to keep my calendar accurate and either accept or decline real stuff and ignore/leave tentative things I don’t care about.

My normal line is “schedule any time free on my calendar that’s convenient for you, ignore any tentative.”

Well we allow those companies to continue to dismiss their interactions with most of the people in the company as "retention issues," so I think I can spot an actual cause here. Roll in typical treatment of customers as barriers to profit and we have a theme starting.

I think (If you're referring to Mick West's explanation) that's actually a pretty convincing argument for the "Go Fast" video. I'm not as convinced the Gimbal video can be explained as easily.

Does sqlite have per page checksums (for bit rot detection)?

Only thing per page I see in the docs is

https://www.sqlite.org/fileformat2.html

"SQLite has the ability to set aside a small number of extra bytes at the end of every page for use by extensions. These extra bytes are used, for example, by the SQLite Encryption Extension to store a nonce and/or cryptographic checksum associated with each page."

Postgres (and other databases that actually care about data integrity) have per page checksums:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/13/storage-page-layout.html#...
It looks like gobfuscator just modifies the source code by renaming package and file names to random strings, and adds string encryption. The resulting source code is compiled by the Go compiler as usual, and no further obfuscation is applied.

This is fairly weak: Go runtime functions are unobfuscated, and package names are consistently renamed (that is, if "geacon" is renamed to "ammopppfcdmmecpgbkkj" in one function, it's renamed that way consistently for all functions). This in turn should make it much easier to deobfuscate by gradually expanding the set of "known" package, class and function names.

XOR-encoding of strings is slightly annoying, but since gobfuscator replaces each string with an anonymous function, you could in principle write a simple Unicorn script to emulate each string decoder function, coupled with some heuristics to detect such functions (e.g. just look for functions which have an xor and a single call to runtime_slicebytetostring).

Having worked on really "heavily obfuscated" code (flattened control flow, functions implemented in obfuscated VMs, custom incompatible ABI, cryptographic encryption of code, etc.), this gobfuscator looks comparatively easy :)
> The has never been a Palestinian country before 1948 when Israel was created

There were people who lived in a place and they were kicked out of their homes by the UN mandate.

Which isn't going to happen with apple silicon because now you'll have a fleet of developers developing on arm and a bunch of servers running x86/amd64. This means you lose the benefit of the same artifact being used in all environments.

Obviously there are arm servers but they're not in widespread use.

You have not said what kind of idea?
Is it a physical system, web application, is it a change of laws, does it require human behavioural change?

Depending on what you are building, there are multiple approaches.

There are two sayings 'You can't see the forest for the trees' and 'You can't see the tree for the forest' ...
Basically, with any massive problem, we have to find a middle ground, we need to understand the existence of the forest but also every single tree.

When thinking about large systems, you need to know enough about many subjects so you can cover most of the problems. Ability to see the society but also a single person and his psychology and what drives people is crucial.

Like the answer to the question "How to eat an elephant?" - "Start with the first bite."

I wasn't really recommending anything, I haven't even tried go, I was saying what seem to be reasons haskell isn't used in pragmatic scenarios, even by people who have invested a lot of time into it Still, cloudflare relies heavily on luaJIT and Love2D is built on it, meaning all these games have it at their core https://store.steampowered.com/curator/32659238/ The language is still lua and the speed is not disputed, so I don't think it is the same as haskell, since haskell still has a much bigger question of pragmatism and productivity.

I had read a long time ago that a typical 3x9 arrangement has fewer "real" gears than 27. One reason is that you're not supposed to heavily use the gears that are the most opposed because it causes additional chain wear. Another is that some of the gears calculate to the same gear/inch.

https://forums.mtbr.com/drivetrain-shifters-derailleurs-cran... has a nice summary, including a picture from Sheldon Brown's website. https://www.sheldonbrown.com/home.html

Basically, there are 21 or 15 usable gears depending on how you want to calculate things. Then add to the equation that this is an electric bike and a single ring with 9 cassette gears seems reasonable.

SQLite is incredible but it is sometimes quirky and the new GENERATED ALWAYS syntax unexpectedly disappointed me when I read about it with the 3.31.0 release.

GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY and GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS is IBM DB2 syntax that became part of the SQL standard. It is meant to be the unifying syntax for all the various flavors of AUTOINCREMENT that exist (GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY is now the standard way). It also makes a distinction between ALWAYS generated and BY DEFAULT which can be bypassed with a user supplied value.

SQLITE's GENERATED ALWAYS doesn't apply to keys/indexes so it doesn't work in the main use case in the SQL standard; primary key generation. Hopefully the AS IDENTITY syntax will eventually be added to SQLite to fix the goofy INT PRIMARY KEY vs. INTEGER PRIMARY KEY (long-form INTEGER is a synonym for IDENTITY/AUTOINCREMENT) syntax.

The JSON Document use case is useful but nowhere near as useful as supporting a clean and standard GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY for primary keys, in my opinion. Maybe I'm missing something.
This article seems so conventional to me. How ironic.

Yes, I can attest that. I worked for a company with a team of malware researchers and this was a common obfuscation technique. I would not say the use of Go is novel either. I have reviewed several pieces of malicious code and exploits written in Go in the last five years or so.

I have so many issues with this.

1. BW is governed by the greens. You know what counties get the highest CDU vote in elections? It's not in the south, it's in Niedersachsen (Cloppenburg etc.).

2. Switzerland has different cantons which are very different. I live in the French part where the average person speaks three languages and 40% are foreigners.

3. I can totally understand swiss' people wish to be separate, this has resulted in them having by FAR higher living standards than other Europeans. Salaries are TWICE as high while taxes are TWICE as low. I'm underestimating that by the way. In the meantime Europe has fucked themselves with the Euro and massive migration which has depressed wages, good luck dealing with that.

4. There is HUGE amounts of funding compared to Germany. I'm in the process of that right now and it's kind of insane how many different options are for getting 5-6 digit sums. Got approved for 100k last week and applying for more.
> There were people who lived in a place and they were kicked out of their homes by the UN mandate.

In the same way as Jews were kicked out of their homes all the way to Iraq. The difference being that Israel took care of the Jews while the Arabs used their Palestinian brothers as pawns in an international chess game.

That video is atrocious. At first I was upset at how much time you wasted on flashy poorly executed effects. Then I realized the entire video is like that. If you're going to show only one word at at time, it has to be something short like a 3 word tagline, not entire sentences. It's impossible to follow, you have so many cuts, so fast, padded with things like "woah, a browser".

I still don't really understand what the app even is. A lot of it is poorly worded, or shouldn't be there.

"Right-clicking to add a task" is not a feature that should be on the landing page. Unless you mean you can right click a tab that's not running your app. Nor should there be things like "Runs in Chrome" - so is it an extension, chrome only?

My 2c would be to make things as simple as possible for the user by cutting out ambiguity, and focusing on user stories.

The external investigators were hired and paid for by Coinbase and we know nothing about the details of their findings (or who they even were) other than that single mention in the company's own blog post. There's no mention in the post about 'data' shared with the NYT, they just told them the investigations cleared them. Here's NYT's version:

Ms. Milosevich said Coinbase hired a consultant over the summer who did interviews and looked at the company’s history, and found “no evidence of structural bias.”

“Employees reported a strong culture, fair employee treatment, high employee satisfaction and high energy for belonging, inclusion and diversity,” she said.

Managers in the customer support team, where many of the Black employees work, wrote their own report last month.
It's trickier than most people think. The term "crosswalk" is American English -- it's known as a pedestrian crossing or zebra crossing in other countries. (another oft confused word is "pavement", which means sidewalk in British English, but refers to the hard surface of the road in American English)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedestrian_crossing#Distinctio...

The markings also cause confusion. To the non-American mind, does "crosswalk" refer to the crossing with the two parallel lines or the one with the stripes? Whereas with "zebra crossing", there's no ambiguity.

Over the years, I've found PG's essays much less compelling. As some sibling comments here have noted, there's a level of self-assuredness that feels increasingly disconnected from reality, like PG's become a synecdoche of SF VC-fuelled startup culture as a whole. Whether that's him changing, or me, or the world, I'm not certain--but I still look forward to them simply because the ensuing discussions here on HN tend to have some gold in them.

Edit: typo on “synecdoche” (original was “synecdouche,” which could be read as clever/juvenile but was simply unintentional).

Also: my original phrasing (which I’ll leave intact above for context) was vague; I specifically meant to express that the more recent essays resonate less with me than the older ones once did. I haven’t reevaluated the older essays; it’s been ages since I went through them.
As someone who lived in both places I can easily tell you that Geneva traffic jams / crowds don't come close to what most employees of SF tech startups endure on their way to work.
