If you're a desk jockey with bad posture you might not want to jump right in to face pulls. I'm a big fan of Athlean-X and all that, but I think a lot of folks aren't ready for even that level of workout. Some of us are so screwed up that the first thing we need is a couple months of foam rolling, scapular activation, awareness training, etc. If you go into face pulls without knowing what a face pull should feel like, you risk ending up with a shoulder issue.

I had shoulder surgery after blowing out my AC joint weightlifting. I went to one PT place that, while good in some areas, focused on strength of my rotators and neglected my mobility. My shoulders got worse after initially getting better and I thought I would need a second surgery. Fortunately I screwed up my lower back so I sought out a new PT place(Catherine at Fields in Motion, Campbell, CA) which not only fixed my back, but identified what was wrong with my shoulder and helped me fix it. It's only now, after months of flexibility and lower-trap strengthening that I know what a face pull is supposed to feel like.

Keep those sternums out, shoulders rolled back, and always keep your core activated(squeeze your cheeks and tighten abs) when you do anything physical. It seems so obvious now, but I went 45 years without figuring it out.
Not geo engineering, but I strongly believe DAC (direct air capture) of carbon will become widespread.

You say that like the decryption steps should be slow. The decryption is orders of magnitude faster than reading from the drive in the first place.

And 10 seconds is still nearly 1000 subjective years. A Commodore 64 boots faster than the CRT can warm up and, while certainly doing less in the process, does it with a 1Mhz processor. Which, for reference, is 3000 times slower than our single core 3Ghz example not even accounting for CPI=>IPC inversion.

Computers are ludicrously fast, but we've apparently worked hard as an industry to slow them down as much as possible even for the simplest of tasks.
> Lambda calculus is a BFD in the subfield of programming languages

This is a good example of abusing the vocabulary of mathematics as is common in the FP world. A programming language is not an object in abstract algebra. You can't add, subtract, or factorize a programming language. It's just software.
Roger Clinton was pardoned for a 1985 conviction after having served his sentence. The pardon removed the conviction from his record, but the punishment had already taken place.

Similarly, McDougal had finished serving her sentences after conviction by the time she was pardoned.

Rich did get pardoned before standing trial, but that was because he fled the country in 1983 when he learned there would be charges. So this is a case of a pardon preventing trial and punishment.
I wish I understood better why Acorn Archimedes did not do better in the market. It looked like they had many great computer models.
Well, that depends what you mean by Brexit :)

The UK ceased being in the EU in January, and transitioned into a temporary EEA membership, subject to most EU law. That comes to an end in a few days; at that point what happens next depends on the outcome of negotiations. There's certainly a world in which EU patent rules continue to apply to the UK; in fact, that would probably have been the default assumption until the British government went off the deep end.

So, if you use 'Brexit' to mean purely the legalistic act of leaving the EU, then yes, it's happened. However, effectively none of the _effects_ of Brexit have happened yet.
> This hasn't been my experience with Windows in the last 5 years. Truth be told it's pretty stable by now and for me, issues like that are rare.

Good sleep on windows has only returned recently.

After years of great sleep on Windows 7, there have been massive changes following the introduction of ACPI S0.

Case in point: I got a nice laptop for classes like 4 years ago and it did NOT implement either S3 or S4 mode, which caused a MASSIVE problem in Linux. I found out about the issue on mailing list: the bios simply didn't implement at all this part of ACPI, instead of exposing the hooks based on the OS detection. It was to reduce problems in theory, but it brought many more in practice.

Connected standby (S0idle) was very flaky on Windows 10, and very often the laptop would eat the battery overnight instead of going to sleep.
That sounds like a giant corporation compared to my many side gigs over the years. I love the development phase because it is something I control. Once the product is developed it also hits it's grave at the same time. Because I don't have the skills to get initial users.
I still think Word Perfect on the Mac was the better word processor and a bit faster.

>In the meantime, Vivaldi added good old, classic RSS reader (and email client)

I still dont understand why RSS isn't part of every browser. In the old days we have problem with syncing. Today most browser bookmark has online backup. You have a bunch of RSS links, that could be saved as Bookmarks / Favourite. The content are simply XML and all inks are synced to all Browsers. You laid them out like in Feedly and that is it.

I could understand email being a lot more difficult, but RSS? Am I missing something?
I said the same thing, then covid helped me realize the people I have been trying to befriend I don't actually like all that much! Being really picky about who you spend your precious time with and for what reasons makes a big difference. Friendships (with the right people) can really enrich your life.
That's the problem with 'seems like'
"I'm not really what's contrived about the other poster's comment."

The guy I replied to 20 days ago here on HN, talking about Apple: "Don't buy their shit. Period."

No, they were never going to buy this headset. They are not the target market. What they demand would actually be detrimental to the target market.

Of the actual target market, the majority will have no problem with it needing a lightning cable. Their iPhones use lightning. Any iPad but the newest use lightning. The AppleTV remote uses lightning. The Magic Keyboard and the Magic Mouse use lightning. It just seems to be something that a person who would have no interest in this device would see as a problem (in the same way that people who don't use the Magic Mouse are absolute certain that the charger port on the bottom is an egregious deadly fault, while actual users just enjoy a fantastic mouse and it's an utter non-issue. It's why Apple should never listen to these people).
>Allowing predatory and/or negligent entities to entrap people with less-than-expert knowledge of the relevant industry/technology/whatever

Indeed, a lot of companies are paying a lot of people a lot of money to spend a lot of their working hours figuring out newer and more-resilient ways of doing this stuff. How long has it been since persistent Flash cookies? Looks like sometime around 2009:

I think there's a project out there for an enterprising public-interest researcher to graph how many of these attempts and techniques were developed and popularized after Facebook started allowing people outside of universities to register for an account.
This is what the internet was supposed to be. Well, not totally that's all it was supposed to be. But random websites that people put together just because. I'm sure they learned something by doing it, so it wasn't a total waste for them. And now we all get a bit of levity in our day.
If you're going by technicality, yeah anything can be art, including a painting by some run of the mill 3 year old.

I'm simply contrasting the level of fame Ross achieved, to his level of art. They are not equivalent at all. His paintings are of rather low quality.
Have you heard of the WWII bullet holes problem that Wald solved? This project seems to fall into the trap that Wald’s colleagues fell into. The more popular a project the more critical it becomes when that’s not actually the case. You want to know where the bullet holes you don’t see are because that’s the thing that’s going to take you out. All the bullet holes you’re seeing and surviving are not great but survivable.

Critical to me means “what’s the thing I have to pay attention to or I’ll suffer consequences”. Having a dependency on a non-popular crate is definitely an increasing score of criticality for that dependency. I may have misread but the fatal error in the metric to me is that popularity of a project increases its criticality when it should decrease. A popular project with lots of contributors means it has lots of stake holders already and a way to successfully manage that. What you want is the small independent projects that popular projects depend on. In other words, what’s the smallest, hardest to notice malicious change I can make in the supply chain of software development to enact the most disruptive change?
I have the Sony WH1000 XM3. I disagree they feel more flimsy. The most critique I can come up with is that the clickiness of the buttons isn’t up to Apple standards. And they lack multipoint.

Also to consider, AirPods Max can be extremely well built but you still cannot pack them in a suitcase like you can the Sony or Bose, due to the shitty pouch that’s included...
You can observe that investors were enriched at Airbnb's expense while believing Airbnb made the best possible choices with the information at hand.

Personally, I think the price rise is indicative of some fundamentally concerning market issues that have nothing to do with this company.
Yep, you can watch videos of the assembly on YouTube by Boca Chica Girl and see all the components. Stainless through and through.
My mistake. I guess they have even less of a complaint then.
Airbnb is great until you get a bad experience. For hotels, there is a floor for bad experiences - it can only get so bad, and the customer service is usually decent. I used airbnb until I had a single terrible experience and worse customer service that did not help me because I had no proof of the incident. Been using hotels ever since.

Is it too early for an acquisition?
Eh, I would. I recently repaired an old Tamron 28-75 2.8 for Canon EF, as well as a more modern Sony SEL2870, and both were pretty simple. In one, the autofocus and aperture were done by bog standard 4 wire 8 ohm stepper motors, with standard four wires rotational encoders, and in the other it was another standard three phase brushless motor, four wires for the IS electromagnets, and optical encoders for the rest.

That is to say, the electronics are fairly standard. You could easily make a single board that can drive the electronics of pretty much every lens. Projects exist going in that direction.

As for the construction, it's pretty damn solid. It's not fully metal, by very high glass fiber percentage nylon and polycarbonate. Very, very durable materials, in some cases even more than metal.

And because of advances in manufacturing tech and the fact these are made of multiple simple plastic parts, you can fabricate replacement parts fairly easily.

Given the fact that the Tamron lens lasted 15 years with the only issue being the aperture cable getting damaged and two pins getting bent out of shape, and that even the cheapest modern lens was fabricated similarly, I think it's not unreasonable to think they could last 40+ years given sufficient effort. Certainly for the most worthwhile lenses.

Of course, when parts need to be made out of metal for mechanical reasons, they often still are. For example, mounts, threaded rings, and so on.

You and I are artists in our own way.

Maybe not professional artists where we get paid to partake in our creative outlets.

On the other hand, Vincent Van Gogh only sold a single painting in his lifetime.

Could you explain this further? I'm using the generic term "ranking". It seems like you're using a very specific subset of an industry's version of 'ranking', and you're mixing it with the word "ordering".

And, "as anyone who has worked with software development probably knows (definitely should know), ranking/ordering/sorting can be done in many different ways".
Yes.

I think it’s a huge amplifier of what would otherwise be fringe ideas.

In the absence of FB, there would be tensions, but no battleground.
Front end teams shouldn't have to write tests for other team's services. This is more of an organizational concern. We do care about testing the front end, but it more often reveals back-end issues than regressions in UI code.
I don't know how anyone could know that nothing illegal had ever been posted on a web site, proving a negative appears to be impossible. The hypothetical article writer would not appear to be trustworthy who hypothetically wrote that.
I think this is overblown. Slack was perfectly capable of remaining a stand alone company. They just wouldn't have been worth ~30 billion.
So theres an interesting concept in the bible that I have thought about more and more that seems like it would help the problem of concentration of power and large firms.

In the Old Testament God commanded the israelites that every 7th 7th year (or every 49 years basically) was to be a year of jubilee. Included among the instructions for the year of jubilee was the requirement that all debts be forgiven and all land revert to it's ancestral owners. Basically the financial system gets reset every 49 years.

It seems to me that there are great things that can be done when a business has the right resources but at a certain point business stop competing and start regulating or burying their competition out of existance. Now of course we can't due it exactly how the bible outlines things but I've been increasingly interested in the idea of a regular societal reset on a half a century or so basis. This creates enough time for large firms to grow innovation to happen and wealth creation to happen. Whilst at the same time it prevents eternal dominance by a handful or large players .

What would y'all think of a societal reset?
I experienced this in the small town suburb I lived in once. There were always random kids in and out of the house, we'd give them food/water/bandaids whatever. Tell jokes/stories. Even though we aren't related, we all knew each other and our kids just kinda bounced around together. Definitely a cool experience.

I think the media making the entire world out to be some bogeyman waiting to kidnap your child is as much to blame as anything.
Its fine for you doesn't mean its fine for other.

Really happy for these guys, they are they kinds of leaders we want at the helm of an organisation.

I find it really disturbing that so many VC's and CEO's highlight how important it is to actually do the work of your business in order to understand your service, customer and product better. Why is this a revelation? I would think that this is business 101. It seems to me that all of the best companies have leaders that know their products inside out and are personally invested in said product (Jobs, Musk, Chesky, Mckinnon, Collisons).

I'm still shocked to hear of tech CEO's of massive companies who have never used or installed the products they sell.

I had this experience as well. Two friends of mine and I hop on Discord and watch a few episodes of a show or a movie once or twice a week. It's been fantastic, especially earlier in the pandemic when I was in a distant city.
There are actually a lot of opportunities for growth if you reduce emission. It's actually funny how in a growth starved world nobody cares about potential growth...
Fair enough, but android without play services is also barely usable and most apps will not run.

This comment inadvertently highlights the importance of educating people about where they use fossil fuels. Manufacturing is a small part of the picture and there is a ton of inherently local usage: heating, transportation, and food are significant and easily changed by removing government subsidies for wasteful industries. A lot of personal decisions like eating less (or sustainably grown) meat, driving less, or using less HVAC are sensitive to government incentives.

If you are running a Linux distribution that uses systemd, you can check how long it takes to boot with

# if you prefer a nice diagram:

My 6-year old laptop takes 7 seconds to boot (dual core i5, 8GB DDR3, SSD, ArchLinux). My previous computer used to take ~10 seconds do boot. If you don't have a bloated OS, there's no need for sleep/hibernate.

I guess Kernel/driver developers have a computer that boots fast as well, so they don't care about optimizing sleep/hibernate functionality?

Isn’t that half of reason why HN exists? How many times have there been issues with FB, Google, etc where the poster ask for help on HN? HN may be the only connection to SV insiders that many users have.

This isn’t to say HN is a good replacement for a proper support channel, but sometimes you need a little help. These are big companies, so these small issues (for Apple) don’t always make it to the right team. The parent poster here isn’t even the dev of the app in question. How are they supposed to know where to report that?
I've experienced no sleep issues on T490 and two Yogas (920 and some 500 series before that, can't remember exact model). Mostly elementary OS, though I've also used Ubuntu GNOME while that was a thing and Ubuntu + pure GNOME shell afterwards.
What would "normal" practice be?
Longer life expectancy is a statistical lie. My grandparents died around ~95 but life expectancy at that time was probably lower than ~40. My grandmother had 4 kids who died very young (around 1-2 years of age) and that skews the numbers significantly.

We are baby-sitting lots of adults that couldn't make it past 1-3 years old of age before the medical revolution. Some of them might never be able to be productive and only consume resources from their families or the public. So maybe evolution was not such a bad idea after all.

> that if people want less censorship, because they don't agree with FB banning their version of 'hate speech' - then they can make their own website.

But specifically this thread and whole article is about people wanting more censorship, on FB. Those people are the ones who can leave, and go make their own website. Everyone else, who supports free speech can stay on facebook.

Facebook has enabled significantly more free speech, and democratization of information. That is why people are upset in this thread, and this article. They are upset about how much free speech facebook has enabled.

> The 'free speechers' might want to be inclined to allow that to pass

The free speechers have already won. This is what people in this thread and article are complaining about. They are upset about how social media has allowed a lot more free speech, and has democratized speech and information to very large degrees.

If you don't like how much free speech is on the internet right now, then you are the one who is going to have to create your own website. Because the pro-censorship people are the ones who lost, and are currently very upset about the fact that they lost.

Thats the entire point of this article thread.... That people are upset about how much more free speech is available right now, and how much easier it is for people to spread ideas.

Those are the people who should leave and make their own platform that has less free speech, if they are upset.
