And what is the catch? That's almost 30% light efficiency. Hard to believe.
What’s really difficult IMO is getting the development environment right, plus the app store. Without that, it’s nothing but another bit of eye candy.
I should point out first that I don't believe these rumors are correct.

But I need an SD card reader all the time, my camera and my field recorder both use them and it makes it super simple to transfer data - without having to carry an extra cable. I don't see why a device that claims it is aimed at professionals (especially creative professionals) could justify omitting it.

My solution is a dongle, but as you say, then you have to travel with an extra cable.
Finally someone's cracked it. The binary solution. They've perfected a process for identifying 'misinformation' in black and white, as it were. This is a huge step forward.
For as long at I live I'll never understand why why there wasn't a test suit to make sure that module and especially THAT module worked correctly.

Changes were made to that module without tests being run and then it was put into production code.
Yep, I understand, I just dislike the fact that we'll have 2 types (like fullName and user.first_name + user.last_name), even though it's an agreement.

Just a bit annoying :)

As far as I know, and I could be wrong, ProtonMail wraps around pgp inbox encryption. Many providers have exactly this service already.

The difference seems to be that ProtonMail don’t allow you to use normal imap and your own client with pgp, but force you to use their client. This is probably a trade-off made to protect users against them selves in one way (disabling encryption for grandpa) and hiding the non tech-savvy from all the technical details.

Again, many assumptions here.

So, to me, mentioning proton here doesn’t make sense as the underlying tech: smtp & pgp have existed and been industry standard for a long time. So there is not issue of adoption.

And I am very, very pissed off at the neglect of Google Classroom's UI. I wish they had (and would still) stay out of education, it's so irresponsible to half-ass it like they have.

Google Classroom's UI problems have got to be negatively impacting kids' schooling. It's unethical.

Well watch this and come back and say that with a straight face.

> Arie van Deursen argues that “code formatting is a security feature” and that indentation “white space is a security concern. The correct indentation immediately shows something fishy is going on...” [vanDeursen2014]. Arie van Deursen also argues that code formatting should be done by tools, not by hand, and shows that clearly this code was not routinely formatted automatically.

Praise then for languages with significant white space? Using a formatter tool to add the white space and a lint rule in your compiler to catch when it's not done is a bandaid for something that should be encoded into the language in my opinion. Leaving this stuff optional to enforce only eats up productivity for no decent upside.
Because replacing a DSLR is really expensive, but an SD card port is cheap. And even if it worked with USB-C, I would still need a cable between them.

> the acoustic energy from the at least two sound generators causing each of the electrically charged cavity surfaces to vibrate such that a second electromagnetic field is generated;

This patent claims to create electromagnetic waves from sound waves vibrating gas? Seems like an inefficient way to create an electromagnetic field (if even possible)?
Lots of GPL advocates think they can re-license BSD as GPL because BSD is permissive. Of course, there is nothing in the BSD license allowing this, only the copyright holder can re-license.
Well, that's because there's different targets for these things.

When your paying engineers 6-figures and can achieve target performance simply by buying more cores, it's often a good trade off.

When you're selling a game to the general public, hardware is relatively fixed.

Big companies spend a lot of time on performance, because it matters. When you're running with millions of dollars of compute costs, it actually meaningful to optimize the code to save cores.
For better or worse, the dentists I have gone to in recent years don't use it any more. I have some old mercury fillings and at least one newer resin one.

Your link is interesting. It seems like the arguments against mercury amalgam being a problem include:

1) organizations like you listed saying don't worry

2) obvious scammers making a living blaming everything on fillings, even nonexistent ones

3) only 5% of people with fillings having elevated mercury in urine, particularly gum chewers

4) "hypersensitivity or allergy" are the "most likely health effects" but there is not clear evidence for or against autoimmune disorders caused by fillings.

It seems to me that it's perfectly conceivable, at the same time, that there is or has been a scam/cult of mercury fillings causing every possible problem, and at the same time, that they do do something to a minority of recipients that is different from acute mercury toxicity that we know about. There could be a combination of more than normal mercury released and more than normal sensitivity.

Something that would be interesting to research, I think, is the microbiome of people with and without different kinds of fillings. There's been some recent claim(s) about the bacteria that cause gingivitis being linked to Alzheimers.
I was hoping even less that was the case, feels like a very out of touch comment, but I’m willing to listen.
Yes, the terms probably were written when it took two days for a check to clear.

No, the ombudsman probably can’t get legal to update the T&Cs
100% agree.

As to the grandparent comment - one day maybe I will understand what really causes this split in reception/bug prevalence, but today is not that day. Very much recommended (and save when you play, not only because gonks can jump you up, and not only because you may fail to date the super hot Panam [or River for the ladies], but also because it does crash/break every 5-10 hours of gameplay).
I just finished reading it a few minutes ago; you were right, I did really enjoy it. Thank you.
I find the concept of Trump "advocating" anything with regard to troops odd. Isn't military where the authority of the president is the strongest? If troops are still in the Middle East he can't very well be too against them being there.

The reply that's missing for you is that the UI is clearly (to an iPadOS user) heavily inspired by that of the iPad - they are making that the selling point:

> iPadOS-like UI and UX

And WRT your other comments, you're probably not the target for this. I run dozens of Linux machines for work stuff but everything in my personal ecosystem is Apple because I don't find config fun. Different horses for different courses.
Out of curiosity, is your app shared on github?

What does "SOC2 Certified" mean? You don't get a certificate. The external auditor will issue the report and opine if you have effective controls in place for either a point in time (type 1) or for a duration of time (type 2). They don't certify you for anything.
It’s pretty useful to know some low level computer engineering if you’re writing high performance software. Having some understanding as to how memory, cache, and threads work for your target platform is pretty important in a lot of applications. That sort of knowledge gives you a big head start when learning to program GPUs, too.

> But the only legitimate use of a flash loan is to do some arbitrage - and there’s plenty of that in existing financial systems.

There are two main differences:

1) The atomic nature of a flash loan makes flash loan arbitrage much less risky than performing arbitrage traditionally. Doing the same type of arbitrage non-atomically may mean that you miss the arbitrage opportunity, resulting in a loss from having to pay back the loan you took out plus interest without having made any money with it.

2) Because the debt must be repaid in the same transaction, the loan is uncollateralized. As far as I know, one cannot borrow millions of dollars in the traditional financial system without putting up some kind of collateral.

> What a sensible attacker should do is: 1) watch for flash loan transactions to be submitted by someone, then 2) quickly submit a duplicate transaction with a larger fee, but change the destination wallets to your own.

This has been observed on the blockchain in practice. The paper I linked to describes the mechanics of how this plays out and what strategies competing arbitrageurs use to win these opportunities.
Please clarify. I don't use go fmt because mnm makes heavy use of the filesystem API, and the error-handling boilerplate for rarely-occurring, unrecoverable errors is painfully high.

This is yet another great demonstration of sprite_tm's combination of technical skills, creativity and perseverance to make something cool out of plain curiosity or maybe just because. I really admire his drive to not only make the technical proof of concept but also to package it up in a very nice case. And to top it off, a long read about the entire process. And he is not even bragging about it!
Oh, perhaps I should also mention that Aegis can easily display OTP secrets that can be pasted into Bitwarden.

You can also display Qr codes to easily export a select few to another authenticator app.

Not sure about Aegis -> AndOTP? Aegis can export txt and json, as well as its own encrypted format.

Yes, bike mode share is way down from then. Back then, people basically biked: transit didn't exist and cars were very rare.

In modern times, rich societies are structured different than 100 years ago: people travel long distances for work and for non day-to-day shopping (to buy a lamp or a wedding dress, for instance) and for social/personal things (sports, church, etc.). These changes are of course affected by policy, but for the most part they aren't unwanted.

Today, almost a third of trips in Amsterdam are by transit, more than by car. Transit trips are mostly a success from the strikers' goals, and just didn't exist back in the 20s.
Hard disagree on the “Apple kind of words” stuff. The iPad is the best tablet. I wish there were good competitors, I’d buy them, but there aren’t. To the extent someone can make a tablet OS with the look and affordances of iPadOS but with the added ability to do stuff iPadOS won’t allow (like writing/compiling code), they should absolutely be encouraged to do so.
For example, you aren't allowed to discuss the science behind lockdowns or epidemics unless you are parroting the official narrative.

This has been par for the course on Youtube recently. They also have been banning unofficial Covid-related apps.
I feel like I would do a palm print before a stencil print.
Of course they couldn't have "ruled the world" with those two, just take a look at China, Russia, Iran and Pakistan for some examples of countries which do not allow these two to "rule them".

Thanks for your thoughts. The notion of there being no sufficient existing language for web development is an interesting one.
> but at least on par with typescript

I wish this were true, but mypy is far behind typescript. For example, mypy has `Literal["foo"]`, but typescript has the ability to template literals like `"foo-${bar}"` etc, and actually understand the results statically.

That's not to say mypy isn't great, it has some really good stuff, but I mostly think you're underselling Typescript here.
If homebuyers are irrationally paying significantly more than it would cost to rent the same house, then that doesn't seem to me like a valid reason to inflate the indexes.

If homebuyers push prices of housing up and that does increase rents, then it is a valid reason to adjust CPI upward, and they do, AFAIK.

I think he's wrong regarding perfect pitch. Relative pitch would be enough to be able to "auditorize" (like "visualize" but for sound) works in his mind.

Having studied music from an early age when as he says his hearing was superlative, he would have internalized the timbre of each instrument through its playable range, and could use that knowledge to choose what (absolute) pitch to choose for various passages. He would not have to "hear" the absolute pitch in his head; melody and harmony are invariant to transposition.

That said, he may have had perfect pitch, but that in itself would not enable him to hear a complex orchestral piece in his head.

BTW none of the Beatles had perfect pitch.

It's owned by the Navy because the inventor is an employee of the Navy who wrote the patent on DOD time and used DOD resources. They almost have certainly have a policy requiring that under those circumstances the patent must be assigned to the Navy
Honestly, the main lesson I wish developers (and especially Moxie) get to learn is the one that teaches them that centralized services are fragile, bound to fail and simply not worth the cost.
While most hosting providers won't touch them for political and/or moral reasons, it does seem like if they had the capital for it, owning their hardware and colocating it would be much cheaper long-term (assuming there is a long-term for their platform).

Also, it seems like an obscene amount of RAM is required for such a platform, and I'd assume for most hot content that RAM would be relevant, but given their scale I think they could get by with a lot less.
"and frankly it is shocking that violent insurrectionists at the Capitol weren't met by a hail of rubber bullets or worse."

For the cynics and BLM activists and more, this is seen as obvious (no rubber bullets, no real resistance). The police forces will tear gas (illegal in warfare), rubber bullet, etc. black lives matter protestors, but won't dare go against white protestors / insurrectionists. We still have a 'uge race issue here. We just cover it up with policies. In reality (aka both insurrection and protests) we clearly see the two groups treated completely different.
The point of Snowden's actions was to reveal what our government is doing in an attempt to force them to change it. The immediate branding him as a traitor and foreign agent both allows the government to continue the illicit activity and discourages others from revealing damaging material.

By pardoning him and then rewarding him for his actions, it at least signals that government organizations shouldn't engage in similar activities and will lead to other people stepping forward if they do.
Isn't the app store and development experience exactly what people keep complaining about for Ios?
* SMTP, the protocol at the root of these problems, originated at a time when the links between Internet sites were slow and intermittent*

I think the author missed the whole point. Not everyone has access to fast internet or internet at all. SMTP was designed with that in mind, and it also works better than other real time messenger in that sense. Async federated communication.
Wow, those are some hefty server requirements. Those resources should be able to support a DAU in atleast millions - if not 10s of millions.

The code written in my company must follow the MISRA rules. Among the others, there is a rules that requires branches to have code blocks, and another one that prohibits the use of goto.

Yes, compilers have flags, coding standards can achieve the same results. The point is that this stuff is non standard, not everybody uses GCC or Clang. Stating "this code is MISRA compliant" is stronger that "this code does not produce compile warnings with the flags x, y, z on compiler W version a.b.c".

Is audiation universal, like the natural human ability to imagine and manipulate and rotate complex 3D scenes in the mind? I'm thinking it is, because many people say "I can imagine that sentence being read in so-and-so's voice".
Supporting properties is one thing, having assignments copy the backing property as a lazy evaluated function-pointer another, even if value is supposedly a int.

Python getter properties are evaluated instantly on assignment. To convert them back into function-pointers like the Kotlin example above you really have to go out of your way by deep diving into inspect module. The result is a property-object which is not assignable to a int-variable, but type checking probably wouldn't go this deep as inspect naturally is very dynamic in its nature.

My guess is Kotlin does this as a way of structural typing, if it walks like a int and talks like an int it is an int.
They will first ask for the report/certifications, but if you don't have one, they'll likely proceed with asking more detailed questions about your security.

Sprawl isn't a natural result of a large country, nor is US land unbelievably cheap (it's all over the place, with some expensive peaks in some high-sprawl areas).

Belize and Norway are extremely low density overall in their countries: they have very different house prices, but neither has much sprawl.

Sprawl is a result of policy decisions.
For me personally, I don’t care if it’s got all of Apple’s bells and whistles, what I personally want is:

- A tablet OS that looks approximately as nice as iPadOS and works approximately as well. With a Springboard-ish homescreen/app paradigm.

- The ability to run a terminal

- The ability to run apps in full screen and swipe between them

- Access to the most popular handful of apps (Chrome, VS Code, Slack, Discord, Zoom, etc.)

This already looks a lot nicer than a lot of “pretty” Linux distros I’ve seen, I’ll be curious to read the reviews next month.
Why would they change, when it has worked so well for them in the past? NASA can just blame all the problems on inadequate funding, and are never held accountable.
Who from HN would install a Chinese OS by choice? We have our own privacy issues from western companies, but at least we can hold them (minimally) accountable.
This is the exact reason why I don't like these large corporations. Suing to take down content vs hiring competent IT personal to put images you don't want unauthorised person to download behind an authentication (there are plenty out there).
I can imagine complex orchestral works and I'm no musician. It must be incredibly common and orthogonal to absolute pitch, because imagining music is a prerequisite for playing an instrument, and most people can play at least air drums.
