I wish I had a better phrase for "disagreeing by degrees", other than 'necessary, but insufficient'. You should write a user guide, but having a user guide doesn't provide anything other than a checkmark in a box somewhere.

What you should do is witness people using the documentation you provided. It's one of the most humbling experiences I've even willingly put myself through in a business setting, but the benefits are huge (can't say the same for some other experiences).

Without that you're in "something should be done, this is something, so we will do it" territory. You haven't proven anything until you can get a user through the docs without having to apologize a million times or dodge things being thrown at your head.

Critically, the quality of your code and product will improve, because you will discover that the emotional energy required to patiently apologize for some dumb limitation of your system is more expensive to you than the logistical energy of fixing the damned problem so you don't have to explain it.

We have the 5 Why's for production outages. For documentation, the 3 Why's are often sufficient for prioritizing fixing of bugs/misfeatures. This is part of the code is stupid because of Thing B. Thing B is that way because we cannot fix Thing C. Why can't we fix Thing C? No good (defensible) reason presents itself, or the reason is now gone. Well shit, let's fix it then, and put a paragraph in the release notes instead of the User Guide.

> Look you can’t eliminate IO and you can’t eliminate state in practice

Not only can you not eliminate IO nor state in practice, but it's literally the most important part. The useful things computers do are IO and state. The difference between using pure functions and combinators is the difference between which color of paint you're going to put on your car. The color of paint you put on your car has nothing to do with its drivetrain.
It may seem a strange way to go, but I'd start with meditation. The more "present" you are, and the less your caught up thinking about past and future, the more opportunity to be responsive and playful.

I'd say there is an arc to this process (though I'm not an expert, so you'll have to do your research). I think it starts with just noticing calm, then bring in gratitude. The more you appreciate things, the more you'll recognize things to appreciate, and when you find anger or try to understand deeply why you have anger (or other emotion you don't want), and then figure out how you can replace it with a feeling you do want.

Also, when meditating, I'll also sometimes meditate on a feeling like playfulness or joy, and just "feel" what that is like. Not thinking about what brings the feeling, just really trying to remember what the feeling was like and get my body to feel that way physically, not mentally.

I think it's great that you've recognized this in your child, and that you are conscious enough to appreciate it. It could be an interesting teacher -> student cycle where you're learning to be playful from him, and at the same time, you're likely to tech him to continue to be playful.

It seems nonsensical in any case to claim something that contains life among its constituent parts is not itself alive. Plenty of organisms have 'dead' tissue as part of their gestalt and no one thinks of them as 'mostly' alive.

Considering the structure of the economy it is far more likely for assets to inflate than the income of workers. Sure some higher up people could wake up and reverse this trend but if there was a risk of this happening most workers would already be happy with their current economic situation.

As a college student, I think the only important "anti-cheat" on exams should be ensuring that the registered student is the one taking the exams. Beyond that, if they want to use the internet or their notes, that is absolutely allowed. That _is_ how the world works, after all.

Only tricky part is that the students themselves shouldn't be able to collaborate since that can lead to one student taking the entire exam and sharing the answers, or many splitting the questions. I guess that could be remedied with question pooling, just requires a bit more effort.
Intellectual property has become grotesque and simultaneously punishes the consumers AND the authors, notably in the scientific publishing industry where you pay to publish and also pay to read while getting no real value add in the process. Criminal penalties over a plainly civil matter.
It would but unless we're talking about complete economic collapse there's a bottom to it - Apple's real estate, intellectual property, inventory, brand, etc. all cost something. Even if we completely discount all future earnings (which assumes again Apple never earns a cent - doesn't look plausible unless there's total collapse of the industry). This means there would be people that would be willing to buy at that bottom price - of course, the opinions of people at which price is the bottom would differ, but it's unlikely - again, barring full collapse of the economical system - there won't be any.

With virtual coins, the bottom is literally zero. It is completely plausible that one day just nobody wants to buy $CRAPCOIN at any price. If for BTC there's probably always be some market (one has to pay the ransomware and buy drugs somehow ;) for novelty coins there's no reason to have any hard bottom, and thus no real downwards limit to "capitalization".
> there aren't many reasons anyone would want more--going to 2.5, 5, or 10GbE in a home network is not likely to allow you to actually do anything faster because at that volume of data you're probably reading from or writing to storage, and consumer storage devices cannot reach even gigabit speeds.

a sata ssd is a bit under 6Gbit. new fast pcie v4 ssd's are a bit shy of 6Gbyte (48Gbit), & your budget models are still frequently 16Gbit & up.

it really makes me sad how widely accepted it is that consumers don't need good connectivity. meanwhile usb4 is arriving & allows direct computer to computer links over regular usb-c cables at 40Gbit. hopefully there's growing discontent at this old old old 1Gbit, & also meh 2.5Gbit ethernet, as ways to shuffle data around.

> Since COVID the webcam market has exploded.

companies that are crushed by demand for existing products, and dealing with covid-related supply chain issues, and long-term uncertainty about demand aren't going to have a lot of luck getting a new high-end product out in <9 months.

among other reasons, getting these sorts of things made usually requires some travel by the engineers to the manufacturing/assembly facility to sort out problems.
I mean this without snideness, but I’m constantly amazed at the demand for C-like languages that continue to arrive with every possible combination of features. When I look at V code, it looks barely different than the plethora of options syntactically and semantically. To be sure, it is different, and I get that a lot of programmers find the “no BS minimalism” aspect appealing. (A lot if programmers in fact start a rewrite project with “no BS minimalism”, only to asymptotically recreate the ‘BS’ and destroy the ‘minimalism’.) But I can’t imagine anything being vastly different than any of the other C-likes once your project is big enough, except that V is currently nascent and changing.

I remember eC [1, 2] from Ecere being one such example of an “exciting new C”: it had traditional class-based OO, no header files (!), cross platform, reflection, etc etc etc. It came with a huge runtime library with tons of demos. It started 16 years ago (!!). There’s of course D as well (which is more often pitched as a C++ replacement), and its own Walter Bright frequently seen around here, and some companies use it, but it hasn’t truly exploded into mainstream use.

Can interested folks (or the author) comment? Are you bored and want a fun new take on programming? Or are you truly, in practice, extremely dissatisfied with the current marketplace of C alternatives and V actually is a take that “gets things right”?

> The true colors of what you're shooting

I don't understand this. The EV displays are calibrated. It's what you're going to get on your high end monitor when you get home. Eyes do not work like camera sensors, so I don't see how this is a plus. White balance being a great example.

> the true dynamic range,

How can your eye tell you this though? Unless your'e doing HDR/exposure stacking, dynamic range from the perspective of the sensor is all you're going to get. With the EV, you get clipping/black indicators, and even a histogram. I'm never wondering if I'm going to blow out the sky or crush some details in shadows anymore. I can see if I am, without having to snap then preview.

> the ability to see to edges of the focal plane with greater clarity.

I don't understand this at all. The new EVs give you 100% crop (with some slightly reduced zoom so it fits), with complete clarity edge to edge.

I would suggest giving a new high end EV another try.
I like how after every big Crypto scandal you see calls for "Well we should have X to prevent this from happening", and X is something virtually identical to a regulation/monetary policy put in place after some banking scandal or panic.

You're making a lot of assumptions there, most of them flat out wrong. You've also made no arguments, so I'd like to know: does it feel good to believe you're winning an argument because you can out ad hominem the other side? Do you get a high out of it? Does it make you feel like going out there and winning?

Except we're not talking about companies, we're talking about currency. Companies have intrinsic value: they own assets, they produce something of value. Currency does not.
Yes, the government uses money printing to prop up the economy during recessions. The money they print goes into financial assets, inflating them. The rich hold these assets, so they get even richer. This creates massive wealth inequality. So politicians speak out against wealth inequality, then support financial policies that create it. This is why people cannot afford houses.
I don’t want to defend the traditional IPO process too much, but “only” is a strong word. One possible benefit from a “pop” is that it makes it more likely for investors to want to participate in future IPOs. That is, the pop from an earlier IPO makes it easier for a later IPO to occur. Of course this isn’t benefitting the first company, but it is benefitting companies at large.

I’m just trying to offer some explanation, I still believe the process deserves modernization.

Aren't they though? I mean sure the CEOs of large, well known companies are paid many millions, but they are the highest paid CEOs. Seeing CEOs getting paid 100 million a year gets headlines, but most aren't paid that much. I wouldn't be surprised if the median CEO total compensation is less than 500k a year.

I use Turbolinks for some Django projects, so took a look at how much work it would be to port these over to Hotwire/Turbo. Very little in the way of docs to go on right now and what little there is in the way of examples is buried in Rails gems. Should be mostly straightforward, with a thin Django middleware to check headers and the like. I guess The Turbo Stream stuff could be adapted to Django channels quite easily. I'll wait and see how and when they improve the documentation, especially on the Rails-agnostic front.

While there are many things that we do not know about that era, there are also many other things about which we are completely sure.

For example we know for sure that all the chemical reactions required to assemble the components of a living being required the same amount of energy then as they require now, so either there was a source of energy large enough to enable them, or they were impossible.

Other things may not be completely certain, but they are overwhelmingly plausible, for example if we know that the transition from a more primitive structure to a more complex structure required 5 improbable mutations, we can be pretty sure that there is no chance that all those changes happened simultaneously, but they must have happened in a certain sequence, one by one.

If moreover, there are some causal links between those events, so that some of them cannot happen unless others already happened, then we may be able to determine which was the sequence of those 5 events, with considerable certainty.

While we are unable yet to estimate confidently which of many possible things really happened in the distant past, we can actually exclude with great certainty many other things, about which we can say for sure that they did not happen, because they contradict fundamental laws, like the conservation of energy.

Among these things that certainly did not happen are some previously popular theories about the origin of life, whose authors did not attempt to analyze them in enough detail to see if they are compatible with the known chemistry and physics, e.g. the ancient theory of the "organic soup" or the more recent theory of the "RNA world".
YouTube scammers are impersonating content creators
This sounds like bs to me. I've been in the space for years too, I've encountered many pro-XRP folk. Every single one either didn't know anything about it and bought because they wanted to get rich quick, or was aware the network is controlled by a consortium of banks.

Could you share the text of an email someone sent you that shows what they weren't aware of?

Edit:

>It's extremely easy for people to fall down the rabit hole of only reading content authored by people pumping it.

I also don't even deny this. But it doesn't excuse the irresponsible decision to buy something without understanding the most critical aspects of what it is and how it works. We should expect people to be responsible when investing, and to be able to do proper research for themselves, and to let them lose their money when they fail to do so. We don't need to waste tax dollars babying and protecting irresponsible investors.
you're right... misread on my part. the point was more to do with the founders/employees being able to grow the value of their ownership stake longer privately.
The live-typing feature reminds me of Google Wave (RIP). Wave also had infinite reply nesting capabilities, which led to highly digressive multi-branched conversations, the closest experience to real life discussion I have had to date.

However, it had the side-effect of being impossible to come back to a Wave and understand the flow of thought, so it looks like Honk and its two messages only approach tries to solve that issue.
This is the Sony argument again. They tried to argue that the PS3 (as in, the platform itself, not any particular PS3) was a CFAA-protected computer when prosecuting Geohot. It's an insane claim, at least to computer engineers, especially considering DMCA 1201-like anticircumvention claims were also available and far more legally targeted to the exact thing they're trying to stop. This threat is like prosecuting someone selling fake DVDs by arguing that they owned the air inside DVD cases, and that by opening the disc they had trespassed on Hollywood's air rights or something.

If anyone here is an actual lawyer, is there any sort of merit to going after a hacking claim over an anticircumvention one? Remember, they aren't arguing he hacked Nintendo's 3DS, they're arguing that he hacked his own 3DS, which he somehow doesn't have access to? Is there any legal basis for a property owner not having CFAA access to their own property? Or is this just a weird throw-the-book-at-them strategy where because they can claim circumvention, they can also claim ownership over the computer that was circumvented?

> If the true purpose of education is to better oneself

There is no transcendent “true purpose” of any broad category of human activity.

There is only the actual purpose of each individual choosing to engage in it. And, very commonly, those purposes vary considerably from individual to individual.

Any argument about what the “true purpose” of such a category of activity is, or any argument dependent on assumption about such a “true purpose”, is something beyond merely wrong.

27 inch is a small monitor. But I agree, usable real estate comes first, then clarity (by way of scaling). So you want a genuinely large monitor (at least 40 inches) at 8K+.
The reason people condemn it, is because those two nations are both occupying forces of a different nation. It is not explicit, but people suspect that both are in fact silently supporting each others occupation.

If say the Polisario front starts an armed insurgence for a Sahrawi liberation in Western Sahara and it is met with brutal forces from the Moroccan military, a peaceful resolution seems less likely because now Israel has stakes in allowing Moroccan military to advance as brutally as they wish—knowing that similar brutality might be preferably against an armed Palestinian insurgence.
For context, more than 3,000 were arrested in LA county during the period of unrest last summer: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jun/03/george-floyd...

Pointing to individual instances of reporters being arrested obscures the broader picture: level of unrest unprecedented in decades promoted curfews which many disregarded and were subsequently arrested. A slim minority of those were journalists.

To put this in perspective, 117 people categorize as journalists (the majority were self employed) were arrested in 2020 as per an earlier HN post [1]. Contrast this to 3,000 total arrests in LA county alone. And that figure for LA is from early June. As I pointed out, journalist arrests are disproportionately concentrated in areas that saw widespread rioting [2].

The idea that police in the US are targeting journalists is unsubstantiated. Journalists are putting themselves in positions in which any normal person would be arrested, and the police are treating them like any normal person.
