That is precisely the point when I closed the tab, but not because of the Black Mirror comparison that you draw. I just feel like this already exists and underneath all of the neat AR-style windows the actual product is underwhelming.

Interestingly, when I worked at Microsoft, I felt like they had a pretty good feedback tool. You could not leave feedback anonymously and it went well beyond a 1-5 star rating system. It asked specific questions about projects you worked on with other employees. I remember individuals taking the better part of a week to put together feedback for one another and I always felt like I got valuable feedback.

That being said, Microsoft is like a conglomeration of many companies: some good; some bad. Perhaps other orgs within Microsoft did not see the same success with the feedback tool.
Gave up on chromecast for audio recently, had too many issues with discovery of the client.

Now using shairport (via the excellent hifiberry os and picoreplayer) on RPis and AirMusic on Android.

Seems a bit silly to be using an Apple protocol when I own zero Apple devices but works rather well. Had to give up on clientless playback (podcast app via chromecast) but this setup is significantly more reliable.

Nearly everything you've ever heard about "strong passwords" is irrelevant and obsolete when the cracking method is simply "hash every alphanumeric and punctuation string starting at MIN_LENGTH and incrementing". The only way to defeat this is by making the hash computation expensive.
This would be a massive (although it could very well be a gradual process) but given everything that's been going on so far and how the dollars been trending so far you can't help but wonder if its actually going to happen some day
You don't have to choose one or the other. Even if the war on drugs got ended these companies find other unethical ways to make money.
"double dispatch" is not a problem. It's OO epicycles. "Deciding what to do based on the sort of input" is the problem.

The point of these realizations not that "oh, just use church encoding". Church encoding, like the visor pattern, is annoying an obtuse: get a language with pattern marching.

Rather, the point is to show that the theory is legit because it shows up even among the work of those ignorant of it. And church encoding remains useful theory because sometimes it's advantageous to boil everything down to functions.
And yet, the business can't actually do those things without them for some reason (well often can't do it with consultants either). Large groups of people have weird dynamics.
Not really, older car companies just make the same cars over and over again with slightly changed designs. They have decades of iteration on their designs and any major changes always end up having problems. Even then they have iterated into cheap junk for the most part aside from a few automakers. Plus, anything software related on these cars is horrible stinking garbage. Check any car older than 5 years and there will be 1-2 recalls on them.

Tesla is pretty much going through the same thing all automakers go through except it's "Tesla." Sure if they hired a few engineers out of retirement to consult they could have identified a few of these issues, but then they wouldn't have released before the balloon went up and the bulls gored them.

Generally, this isn't Tesla's biggest problem. Delivery, support, and maintenance are the big ones they are losing out on. That's what's making this recall such a big issue for them. They didn't have enough dealers to make repairs or spare parts which is why they are dragging their heels on recalls. But they are catching up there as well in typical Tesla fashion.

Sure they will piss off a few car owners, but people tend to be REALLY loyal to car brands. Just ask any Porsche owner who spends more time at the mechanic than on the road.

How your classmate became a con artist:

"It’s a choice that’s laden with power. Unlike a bank or a traditional business, consultancies have little capital apart from the graduates they hire. A consultancy is a machine for prestige, and you are the source of their prestige, the smoke that obscures the truth of a business that subsists on the crudity of cutting and selling. They purchased your transcript, and they purchased your diploma, but you have the power to take them away. Without you, a firm has no more weight than the shells through which it is paid.

So withhold your labor, withhold your prestige, and watch as the façade begins tumbling down."

Given that they didn't launch a single game, I think SGE just regular old failed.

In top of that, after seeing Cyberpunk 2077 get the closest thing to an exclusive launch they could possibly hope for, I imagine they looked at the results decided that the problem is not going to be solved by one or two great games that only work on Stadia. They need many games and for that they need third party.

The visitor pattern is only helpful when you have two polymorphic types and want to write code which needs to dispatch on the real type of BOTH arguments.

For example, you have a an expression tree, where each node can have a different type that is a subtype of Expression; and you have an Evaluator type with many subtypes of evaluators.

At runtime, every specific subtype of Evaluator may need different code for every specific subtype of Expression. Furthermore, new Expression types and new Evaluator types can be created by libraries that you don't have access to. Discriminated unions don't solve this problem.
Tesla famously turned down help from Volkswagen and other major manufacturers.

We've been using TurnShift for a month now at Algolia, and I really appreciate that what used to be an underloved internal tool is now a very neat scheduling tool.

We're using it both for scheduling of monthly "support day", as well as for rotation within teams to answer questions from other teams, and it has a lot of potential!
To offer a counterpoint, I agree I like the honestly, but I will ask (I genuinely don't know): what does Tesla do about it?

So say I buy a Tesla, and I have some sort of manufacturing issue. Can I go to a Tesla service station to have it fixed? (Once again, I genuinely don't know, and I am curious actually).

If they are taking steps to fix it, I would applaud them as well, but I would not be happy to spend money on a Tesla, have an issue, and have these sorts of issues awknowledged, but then be stuck with said issue.

That's a pretty standard part of settlements, and very nearly semantically void.

The more salient facts for someone who's looking to this as an instructive story are: they advised a company to do some things that had some pretty hefty consequences, those consequences came back to bite them, and it cost them $573M plus legal fees and damaged reputation.

$573M is $573M, regardless of whether a court orders you to pay it, or whether it's the amount you're paying to avoid having to find out how much the court would order you to pay. The fact that no ruling went onto the books is small consolation.

I’m probably preaching to the choir, but yup that inherent uncertainty seems to distinguish biology from the other sciences. There is a huge stochasticity & serendipity in everything because there is no intentionality in the design of any biological component; any convergence toward a chemically or physically optimized component or behavior is driven by evolution by natural selection but remains imperfect. Warts, quirks, and all

It also explains how the folks on HN positing “Covid is just the flu” and “long Covid isn’t real” have been so confident yet so gravely mistaken. They are used to other sciences where there is much less room for uncertainty
I've never seen a 'useful' intranet. I'm not speaking something like a team or division's confluence/knowledge base, but an entire company's intranet.

Consultancy sounds fancy, but when it comes down to it it's fairly mundane.

This effort is similar to Chrome's previous implementation of a built-in ad blocker[1]. As before, the goal isn't to completely eliminate ads or tracking, rather it's to push the advertising industry in a direction that's more acceptable to users, with the understanding that that approach is likely better for the industry (and therefore Google) long-term.

In this case, Google wants to maintain the ability to target ads and detect click fraud, but eliminate server-side tracking as many users find the latter practice undesirable.

Given that these changes will affect the entire advertising industry, not just Google, it's unsurprising that their competitors would claim anti-trust. They have a point; Google undeniably _is_ using their control over the Chrome browser to make changes that directly impact their competitors. Google may genuinely believe these changes are good for the industry as a whole, but that might be hard to argue in court, particularly if competitors with particularly intrusive tracking mechanisms are disproportionately impacted.

This will be interesting to watch.

Absolutely yes. Also Google has had an explosion of upper management (director and vp) and the way they battle for turf is like game of thrones.
I think this is a great opportunity for programmers to be able to find a lot more answers through organic search.

Previously you'd have to know that the topic was covered in _ textbook, then you'd have to buy and read said textbook.

Did you have The Way Things Work or The New Way Things Work? I had the latter around the same time. I thought the extended computer section (Bill's Gates!) was very helpful. I still really like the visual in which the image of a mammoth is turned into a series of pumpkin/no pumpkin signals being launched through the air, then becomes a picture of a mammoth on the other side of the field. I think it got a bit too technical for me when it started showing how transistors are constructed-- I guess I should've stuck with the pumpkins.

Now I have both editions and have looked through them side-by-side. It's a bit unfortunate that some pages were dropped to make room for the expanded digital section in the newer edition, but well worth the trade-off for more/better explanations in the digital realm.
I don’t know if I have the appetite for this anymore. For anyone successful, there seems to be this market where someone has space to write the broken lover’s lamentation starting off with ‘Well actually, this is why my ex is awful’.

Right, these things are still interesting and valuable even if not immediately practical for a certain use. Like a regex being equivalent to a finite state machine or lots of other connections between seemingly disparate concepts in math.

> If Theranos had done a SPAC, retail investors would've lost a lot of money when it was discovered as a fraud and shorted.

You don't know that for sure. Betsy DeVos and Rupert Murdoch lost their millions precisely because there was no mechanism to discover the "counterargument" against Theranos. They were sold on a vision by the founder, and they bought the pitch. It was impossible for anybody else to do any research on whether the pitch was actually accurate, and therefore that research never happened until many years later. Hype continued to grow in a positive feedback, and there was no mechanism to provide any negative feedback.

In the counterfactual, Theranos would have gone public, some retail investors would have bought in, but right at the outset there would be a mechanism (and an incentive!) to provide negative feedback and kill the hype before it gets too big. This is exactly what happened to Nikola. The net harm caused by Nikola to all parties involved is much lower than that caused by Theranos.

Also, retail investors shouldn't be investing in SPACs, which are obviously risky. They have every right to, but I have little sympathy for people that lose money on risky bets. Ultimately, having a risky company go public allows institutional investors to have their say and contribute to the price discovery. It's sort of like peer-reviewed research.

> and/or forcing the enemy to waste their delta-v, which the game definitely stresses

Totally agree, and this is another case where controls at a slightly higher abstraction would be nice. In the game, sometimes the enemy jukes your intercept, so you do another burn to re-acquire, and the cycle repeats.

A show like The Expanse would operate at that level of abstraction:

Sensor Officer: "Captain, they've detected us and are taking evasive action!"
Captain: "Navigator, match course and speed. We can't lose them."
XO (aside): "Captain, that's a Cortéz-class recon ship; they've got more than enough thrust AND delta-v to outmaneuver us. We need to change the game."
Navigator: "They're evading again; re-acquiring intercept."

The game has you play the navigator, but playing the captain would be more fun.

Generally, it depends on the level of the issue and how long you've owned the car. The car comes with warranties that last between 4 and 10 years, depending on the part. They should cover this sort of thing. Issues that can compromise passenger safety are subject to recalls, and do not have a time limit.

My personal professional view is that I found web frontend development quite disgusting between the days of static HTML and React. The frontend apps built by my colleagues using jQuery or Angular seemed to have no structure and seemed quite fragile. Of course, one could use any tool well, but in my world it was not happening.

From my point of view, React and JavaScript improvements in later versions have made frontend development more tolerable and even interesting.
A lot of biologists these days use "generational memory" to refer to epigenetic configurations that are heritable, but in the context of my comment I was using it more to refer generally to information that is typically modified over multigenerational timescales. My point was to frame RNA as a kind of intermediary between longer term and shorter term mediums of memory.

So as an simplified analogy, the DNA would be like a dictionary of common words that could be used to encode a meaningful story about something the organism has experienced. The RNA would be like the handwritten copy of each word as the story is written down on a piece of paper. The paper with the handwritten story is analogous to the proteins that have been shown numerous times to be involved in long term memory storage and recall.
This is a cool project.

Problem is powering the repeaters. More fibers are not going to help if you can not use them. They mention in the article the improvements in the repeater design to cut down power draw to allow more fibers to be used.
"Mazes are everywhere. From psychology experiments where mice scamper in search of cheese, to robotics demonstrations, to movies (Labyrinth, anyone?) and video games (Pac-Man? The Legend of Zelda? Doom?), to books and books of puzzles to be traced by finger or pencil, you’ve almost certainly encountered them at some point in your life.

What you’re reading now is not a collection of mazes for you to solve. No, this is something much more exciting. This is a collection of ideas to inspire you.

You’re about to learn how to generate your own mazes. Random mazes, unique, each one different than the one before. It’s a voyage of discovery where you never know quite what you’ll find when you crest the next hill."

I think HN's comments of front end type topics tends towards 'back end focused folks talking about front end'.

I love HN, but I would really be wary of taking too much front end type commentary seriously as it comes from HN comments.

Now sometimes the comments are GREAT, that's not to say it is all bad, but other times the comments on front end topics on HN is like walking into a meeting with a bunch of managers and non front end focused folks who got together to list their gripes ;) In those cases I often don't say anything because the ranting is on and nobody really cares.

Edit: This was longer but I decided I didn't want to go that far down the meta rabbit hole.
