I would think of Henry Ford and the assembly line just prior to this period as the birth of modern manufacturing. Moving from artisans doing most or all of the work on an item to individuals repeating one process repeatedly as the product moves down an assembly line. So I think it was a very relevant question for the period of how designers could adapt to it. The article just claims they didn’t really have any experience with these new methods.
I think it just boils down to future ARM Macs having tiny TDP, and being full SoC based.

Makes no sense to have a 20*50*50 box if the only part inside it is a tiny 8*8 PCB.
Do they actually prefer it? I am talking about my elderly mother as an example here. People are becoming increasingly more aware of the issue.

Also many phones come woth google photoes preinstalled and enabled by default, I am counted towards that statistic because it uploaded a few things before I disabled it. Even if they really use it, I am betting most of them Also use store same photos as normal files.

I would like to see fresh numbers now that you have to pay for google photos.
Does the adherence to tradition and desire for harmony impede China's ability to innovate?
The latest 27in iMac has upgradeable 10gig Ethernet and a T2 chip.
The governments sole purpose is to benefit the people (yes I know that far from reality)
But which gov would endorse the use of BTC knowing that it harms the people, removes their own power and if we go back to sticks and stones would even removed the gov itself. At some point self preservation would kick in. Before we go to WWWIII an bomb each other because of buttcoin, someone would bomb the mining farms ryt? If the gov wont do it I'm sure we find some environmental terrorist.
At the end of the day JetBrains doesn't own a whole cloud office suite that can finance and price dump their competition in the IDE market. They can fight against Microsoft, but US corporate consolidation will make sure that their competitor can just give out "good enough" product for free and destroy their revenue source.

They'll either go out of business or get bought out by another corporate conglomerate and their products released for free.
Apple: iMac Pro will no longer be offered after current supplies are exhausted
Generally, they should come in the next version. Or that was their stance for PyCharm/IntelliJ ultimate.
rust-analyzer works very well for me, definitely don't use RLS.

I wonder how the new Bluetooth LE Audio with the new LC3 codec would fare in this comparison.

See https://www.bluetooth.com/learn-about-bluetooth/recent-enhan...

There's on thing in the current state of bluetooth audio that actually bugs me: Once you use a microphone, the audio quality significantly degrades from the usually stereo audio quality (which is good enough for me).

I'm curious when we'll see LE Audio in broad adoption and how much of an improvement it will actually be.
It's not actually that bad. There's a lot of defense, security, and highly proprietary development that happens on isolated networks. You have to put significant effort into IT infrastructure but you'll end up with all your stuff hosted internally and most tools support custom package repo mirrors (linux distros, programming languages/build systems, docker). You'll also probably have a second system with internet access at your desk if not nearby for stackoverflow et al.

Basically the idea is defense in depth. The valuable stuff (design files, schematics, code, documentation) lives in the air gapped network while communications live inside a VPN and detailed technical discussion is often discouraged.

This is some kind of polyglot PDF/HTML/tar.gz/OVA generator.

It takes an SQL file (SQLite db?), generates charts and tables by making queries on that database.

On the PDF, the charts and tables are included as static information. On HTML, it uses PDF.js, but also include a full blown DB engine on that data: turn charts into tables, change the queries (!!!).

You can also embed a tarball or a OVA for fully-reproducible scientific results.
Minor nitpick: the iMac Pro running Minecraft is pushing a lot more pixels than the MacBook at similar frame rates, assuming you used the native resolution of each device. Correct me if I’m wrong.
The rust plugin is a common pitfall, install the rust-analyzer plugin and you shouldn't run into any problems in vscode.
Sure, it helps to borrow in your own currency but when you are the reserve currency. You are essentially using the goodwill/confidence bestowed by the world to solve your domestic problems. The goodwill is finite and there is no free lunch. When more money is printed, it is a hidden tax on everyone holding dollars. Not sure how long other nations will be happy diluting their own wealth because the US decides it needs to print more..

Its like a run on the bank. Great till everyone thinks everything is okay, but the moment confidence shakes in the bank, and bam you've got a collapse on your hands.. unlike a bank, if countries start dumping the dollar there is no higher authority that can step in and pause things for a bit so everyone settles down...
Agile does not reject those things. That’s just a nonsensical statement at best and a straw man at worst.
Based on what the article says, it sounds like the Google auto-blocking was correct.

The website owner's theory is that someone used their demo to upload a genuinely malicious file, and presumably then shared it to others. Adding the site to their blocklist immediately is a reasonable action taken in defense of Google's users. It's certainly not libel for them to truthfully say the website is hosting malicious content. Well, not in the US; other jurisdictions don't necessarily have truth as a defense. (Tortious interference is complicated, but typically requires that the person interfering knows about the business relationship they're obstructing, and is taking the action for the purpose of obstructing it. It seems like a stretch here.)

As always with Google, the real issue here is their awful communication and slow responses to people who can't find a way to go outside the normal channels.

EDIT: and the article has some useful suggestions for practices to follow if you need to let people upload files as a demo. I hadn't really considered the purpose of a separate domain for such things from this angle before.
Interestingly, as an emacs user, I am really rooting for the success of VSCode. The existence of the Language Server Protocol means that I have a horse in this race. Emacs users that use the same language server as VSCode users directly benefit from this relationship. So even though VSCode is competing with Emacs for market share, it is very much collaborating with Emacs (and other text editors that use LSP) in making language features comprehensive for everybody.
> I'm sure people said similar things about marcel duchamp in his time.

Duchamp came from a successful art family and was widely recognized by the industry even at the start of his career.

Johnny Knoxville copied You Can’t Do That On Television and Super Dave Osborne and produced nothing notable prior to or after Jackass.

Joe Rogan and Fear Factor had more influence. (Lol)
Ripple is a company.
The XRPL is fully functional since many years.
Thank you for your comment, you've really brightened up my day!
The only reason I use VS Code is when I want to quickly check a file or create a PoC. PyCharm or CLion are just too slow and frustrating, but for bigger projects there is no better option than those, despite being awfully slow.
I think it just never been a part of it.

Only hardware is BT SIG certified I believe, not userspace software.
That depends on how long you want to use them. For some the trade-off against sound quality, features and user-friendliness might be favorable.
On an internet with a generally lousy signal-to-noise ratio, HN generally affords useful tech pointers.

It's what Slashdot was a couple decades back.
I take a more extreme view. My confidence that it is absolutely intentional and that significant planning went in to arrive at this point is in the region of 99%.
Why was the Amiga Kickstart 1.x “Insert floppy” graphic so bad?
I think the vast majority of devs work in a single language, at least on a day to day basis.
This started with eclipse vs intellij. Eclipse was free and okay. Intellij was paid and polished to hell.

Then vscode came along. Again it's great but not polished. Mishmash of plug-ins that may be supported and may do what you want.

To be fair. Intellij needs to refactor their ui. It is not great. By default ugly. And material ui is not officially supported and buggy.

The reality is yes they go for corporate because idk why but developers refuse to pay for an ide license. By hell developers earn a ton thry could afford one.
Threats to Democracy Superlist - Secret Combos
Instead? As though some VCs allocating a couple billions of dollars of private capital to crypto investments gets in the way of the government properly allocating ~$7.8 trillion in tax revenue every year.

Venture capitalists don't build bridges or infrastructure, fortunately (although they could hardly do worse than the various governments in the US). Government does that by and large. It's the responsibility of government to allocate its tax revenue to infrastructure.

The US has among the least responsible governments that has ever existed in world history. That's on the shoulders of the voters and the politicians they elect. It's not the VCs or politicians (insert scapegoat here) that are the primary problem (they're all secondary), it's down to the American people that have behaved like absentee sloven bastards for half a century now.
They're only valid concerns if you're in the part of the chain that needs to be empathetic in the first place. That's the point I'm trying to make. His point of view is not representative of Torvald's, mine or possibly many others.
Blind is better for this than HN, but HN is pretty good, especially with the rise in throwaway accounts. I think this is because HN is more diverse, and Blind by it's nature is employees at your company and other big tech companies.
HN is the only public place I've found that has well beyond a critical mass of people who have started, owned, operated, or worked at very strong startups and technology companies. When the media is out of touch on a topic, HN will often be right on the money. And HN has a lot of good ideas on management and business strategy if you're down to dig for it.

As a result if you want to read the ideas of or get your ideas in front of people who are actually in the arena of modern tech companies (with a definite SV / American / western european / VC backed startup slant), this is the best place I've seen.

HN also has the most "real talk" about startup equity value that I've ever seen, although I think that the HN POV on equity is broadly more negative than it should be.
> I bought my iMac Pro in June 2020. That's a little over half a year ago, and I'm still frustrated that they took my money knowing they've got this in development.

I would be too.

On the other hand there are people who really needed that machine then for whom it was worth the money not to have to wait a year.
This, so much. People were getting icky a few years ago when I said I was working in crypto, as it if was below what a geek should aspire to - but it felt so much better than the alternative: I was providing something people were asking for, nothing else. There was no ads or engagement issues.

I feel sad for all the people who have golden handcuffs (vesting, lifestyle) at a FANG job, basically selling dopamine hits and eyeball time - up to enabling murder in this case.

I have very little morals on principles. I copied mine from someone I know: I will not work for the mob / organized crime ie what use violence against people, and that is true in all of its extensions: so that includes the government, the military, and any company that is deeply involved in business with them.

Highly suggested for personal happiness!
And that's how we got arguments like "TAB vs spaces". Because of course one od these choices is ultimate engineering truth worth fighting for. Snowflakes willa never understand. (Sarcasm off)
I wonder how much time and effort went in from the side of government to arrive at a point where they can manipulate the free market to help them kill people.

Other users have rightly pointed that getting this support from outside sources eases their legal burdens both domestically and abroad. It just seems wrong that a government can bypass its own checks and balances in this way. It violates the principles it was founded on.
I found this website and associated videos pretty helpful a while back: https://drawabox.com/

You can self-host a Solid server. And if you combine it with a tunnel proxy[0], get the best of both the cloud and personal hardware worlds.

Imagine if computer engineers have a religion of burning down and rebuilding the entire computer architecture every 20 years, hardware and software, from scratch. Everything will be cleaner, and the problem raised by Jonathan Blow [0] can be addressed too (it's basically: modern system has low understandably & maintainability, everything is extremely complex, and only a few people in the world can understand systems at each low-level component, it only takes a moderate social disruption for the entire digital civilization to collapse").

Compared to 1000% monthly inflation?
Honestly, considering the state of play at the moment the law is pretty much unenforcable. They literally can't fine everyone who is breaching it, they don't have the manpower.

And considering the ICO, the UK org that enforces these laws and where you have to go to find out the UK laws on it, literally just tell you that they use cookies to make their website work and don't ask for consent makes me think this is so much more complicate than any of us truly understand.

If they're setting cookies without consent with a user tracking id, I am going to guess that my session cookie falls under the same thing theirs does.

Seems like quite a decent bit of evidence then :)
Quick notes:

Site owner has not confirmed they screened all uploaded content for malware - this is a major issue these days and google and others will flag you if you host viruses and pump out malware.

And no - you cannot sue google to force them to allow users to be infected.

It’s not clear that all customer content is hosted on a separate domain, and each customer on a separate sub domain . Your reputation will be trashed pretty quickly if you host content on main domain blindly.

It’s not clear that all uploaded content is protected from being linked too or downloaded. Google admins and other virus vendors can setup screens on downloads.

Anyways - see plenty of shady / scam and incompetent website owners hosting malware - not much sympathy in most cases.
You just get some hardware that can monitor the traffic like greatscottgadget's ubertooth one.

As for recreating the audio, you'd have to deal with capturing the key exchange handshake and cracking it.
This makes me wonder if KFs could've been a practical improvement for navigation in the age of sail.
It would be great if you guys could participate in the stack switching effort in the Wasm CG.

Ask HN: Great resources for learning about the Travelling Salesman Problem?
I recently started working at a startup in the mobility/transportation space, and will be doing a fair bit of work on a system that matches drivers with riders. The problems seem similar to the Travelling Salesman Problem, does anyone have favourite resources for learning about this (and/or similar) problems?
my bad i saw the github but couldn't find any code examples other than someone smiling
That's the rationale for building "megaports." Few giant automated ports save on ships having to hop around smaller ports to unload few containers.
Looks like AWS is extending its serverless platforms to add support for some physics APIs.

Looks like he complained about some health issues:

"[Justin Sun] unexpectedly dropped out days before the scheduled lunch date, blaming a bout of kidney stones. However, he apologized on social media for overpromoting himself, and Bloomberg reported that Chinese authorities briefly detained Tron employees, sparking conspiracies that he bowed out under pressure from Beijing."

Except now the authentication servers are hacked (easier if you run it yourself).

Other things the US has which Venezuela doesnt: a diverse economy able to direct the increased money supply towards productive businesses, entrepreneurs willing to invest in fixing supply shortages because they don't fear the government will seize their assets, substantially more transparency and trust in the currency, and a lack of need to continue printing money just to pay off supporters and generals. Lack of sanctions helps a bit too.
Former Banker offering financial projections for dirt-cheap
Hey guys, I am offering custom financial projection/forecasting/budgeting services for startup founders! After about two years of fucking off and doing nothing productive, I feel it’s time to be productive again.

So now I am selling my services to people who are starting start ups, started start ups, or want to start start ups.

DM me with your company details. I will provide a high level financial forecast for you. We can get as granular as you’d like. I am potentially open to phone calls/zoom calls for custom requests but please don’t waste my time and have me figuring out your budget for you. I expect you, and any serious founder to have a good grasp of your finances, which includes knowing all of the expenses your business will incur (shocking i know, but many “founders” I’ve spoken with haven’t done their research).

I am charging a flat fee of 200 dollars for the standard set of projections and an additional 50/hr for custom requests, and I will give you an upfront estimate on how many hours I believe the required task will take before you agree to pay. Just send me a detailed explanation of what it is you want to track/analyze/graph and what your use case would be. Standard projections will be delivered in NO LESS THAN 3 days. Custom requests will naturally take longer, and I will give you upfront, (mostly) accurate projections on how much time I think it’ll take me.

My service agreement includes a boilerplate NDA (ripped from rocket lawyer), but if you have your own version of an NDA that you’d like me to sign, that is completely fine.

SO please DM me if you need financial projections, or want more information. I am looking forward to hearing from you guys.

If you want more information about the spreadsheet model, I have an extensive write up that didn't fit in this post, but reach out to me and I will send you the full details. Thanks!
Products of political design schools, by key practioners, are generally good, usually strong design. The ideological framing certain can help in guiding design, providing continuity (even if the "narrative fact" is imaginal).

I generally disregard the narrative attached to design - went to arch school so am entirely jaded about that aspect of design. So I love Sant'Elia but have a few issues with the Manifesto; love some Italian Fascist buildings (they're gorgeous) but am not a fan of Duce; same goes for Bauhaus: quite a few gems came out of Bauhaus, but as you noted I did not hide my disdain for that 'wing' of the orthodox binary political spectrum.

Two dyads that have been adopted fairly generally as central to design for modern humanity are: individual vs. collective, and, man and nature.

The architects that I admire started from the I|C paradigm and ended up in M|N.

The former has an unfortunate tendency to be subsumed by a political reading of the question: what is the order and nature of the relationship between the individual and the collective. This dyad has proved to be a disaster, for example, in psuedo (poser) Marxist/Socialist approaches to mass housing, and is in no small part responsible for the distasteful Post-Modernism that followed in reaction.

So design research in Man | Nature dyad. That is my personal direction and what I think (obviously :) is the appropriate venue of further efforts. (Why: The question of unit-collective is in fact embedded in that dyad. So is the quite topically urgent question of Man | Machine.)
Been using it daily for +1year and that doesn't sound like my experience at all.
Storage protocols like remoteStorage and Solid have a chicken/egg problem. They need really good apps, but no one is going to write apps, services (like backup), or other integrations until there are lots of users.

But how do you attract users without these things already in place?

There needs to be a killer service that offers something better than Google Drive, Dropbox, etc can provide. They're unlikely to be able to compete on storage price, so they'll need to differentiate in some other way.

I'm bullish on Solid in the long run, but it's a tricky problem.
But at least the same system that creates constrains also grants you explicit ownership, the castle can’t be duplicated, and it’s value is tangible. Here, Twitter isn’t selling the NFT — it’s a pledge of value from Dorsey on something that’s completely unrelated. For something that there isn’t one of… every person who views the tweet is looking at their own identical copy.

This all feels very strange to me, probably because it is so intangible AND Twitter is still broadcasting the message just the same AND Twitter already has a concept of ownership which isn’t being honored here.
Why we’re so bad at daydreaming, and how to fix it
"Exclusive Right" means exclusive. Period. If I don't have the power to distribute my work how I see fit, including not at all, then I don't have exclusive control over my work, and that's going to make me think twice about publishing it. How does taking control away from authors promote the progress of science and the useful arts?
