I'm unsure of the antibiotics they give post LASIK if they ever do, I'm curious as there is a severe symptom some people get after LASIK called corneal neuralgia that can have similar system wide symptoms to small fiber neuropathy.
I can't speak for using it in a massive monorepo, but I started using https://please.build for some of my personal projects recently just as an alternative to the dominant Java build systems (Ant/Maven/Gradle). It's far more straightforward to use, and incremental builds actually work reliably.
Disagree—we had the input-to-view-update latency down to 16ms; in other words, a 60 FPS frame reflected the position and orientation of the user on the immediately previous frame. This is lower latency than achievable nowadays with consumer hardware. Subject mis-performance and discomfort was still trending downward at this very low level, and several people still reported discomfort and nausea, albeit at a slightly lower rate than, say, 100ms.
It pretty much is. A lot of people still use Git GUIs and automatic transmission has handily beaten manual transmission in the US - not everyone understands or even wants to understand the tech they use.
> I’m not sure where I could get a new SIM?

Do you have a mobile phone? Pop it out, put it in the iPad, activate it, take it out again.

In New Zealand, where I’m from, you can get SIM cards from supermarkets, petrol stations, convenience stores …
I agree with most of that except the dangerous part. I know of some neo-nazi's that harm people physically and their community support it. They are in a rural part of Ohio. I am not part of their circle. I am not going to repeat here some of the things they do but I will say that it would not be allowed on sites like 4chan.

That's just an empty threat similar to the threats to do the same if the minimum wage is increased. Every time it happens, businesses adjust.
Like with every "why does X do Y?" question, the answer is "because (and up to the limit that) they can get away with it".

Most people seem to accept the "meh, it's good enough" mantra. Perfectionism is considered a flaw - in programming we dismiss it as "gold-plating".
I previously bought a Thelio desktop from System76 and it was great. I ended up upgrading and basically took all the parts from it except motherboard and cpu. I still use PopOS as my daily driver and have no reason to ever switch to anything else. Drivers always work and updates are painless. Major version upgrades are always smooth. I haven’t had any external hardware compatibility issues (though to be fair this isn’t just PopOS, but Linux in general improving). I’m a huge fan of PopOS.

I think there is a spectrum of regulation that happens the closer you live to other people.

I had a friend who lived in a dome house. It could not have been built in an incorporated area of his state.
I told you to look it up, and you didn't even bother. You're so convinced that your own infallible logic is all you need. You don't need reality. You don't need evidence. I guess this sort of thing is all just made up:

https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/8/8/16112368/pi...

Why do you even bother coming to the internet if you already know everything? I bet, I bet you think of yourself as hyper-rational. That you don't have biases, you're rational. That you can work things out from first principles and if reality disagrees, reality is wrong. I bet you have some fantasy about the "free market" and that by definition everything that happens in it is right and fair.

I do note that your argument has switched right round. Suddenly you realise you were wrong and that employees don't actually have the upper hand? Do you think people don't notice when you backtrack and change your argument mid-way through?
You turn on the gas plants. That's fine. If you run the gas plants 36 days a year, you've cut emissions by 90%. If overhead means you have to double the amount of emissions (say, to have hot spares), you've still cut emissions 80%.

We don't absolutely have to hit zero to do enormous good to the environment. Cut power plant emissions 80% and it won't be the long pole in the tent any more. The biggest efforts will be in concrete and transportation and agriculture.

We already have the power plants built. We've got plenty of time for things to evolve as solar and other renewables ramp up, and fossil fuels go offline. It's not some kind of knock against renewables if they can't solve 100% of the problem. 90%, or even 80%, is just fine.
I think OP meant that needing AC in a lot of vehicles in the US (everywhere it gets really hot) a 100% electrical fleet didn't make sense, and that this consideration might have influenced the decision to go with ICE.

If you are not being sarcastic about learning about density, check out why, it was mind boggling for me!

How does this entire article have no references to the DMCA and copyright?

Like, the ENTIRETY of the "right-to-repair" issue could be resolved by repealing the worst parts (or all of) the DMCA and updating copyright law with respect to machine code or object code to make it fair for buyers.

If I buy a book, cut it up and make a collage, the original author can't claim copyright.

Do the same with some object code, you break the law.
> Keep in mind there's a legal mandate for public traded companies to increase share holders value. It's grey-ish legal requirement but I don't think the executive management wants to risk the legal consequences of doing the right thing.

What are the legal consequences? I keep reading about these mysterious laws that require management to maximize shareholder value or profits or whatnot, but I’ve never heard of a court punishing management for not doing so (never mind the fact that it’s impossible to define and prove per legal standards).
I think you're thinking of Alternating Current and they're thinking of Air Conditioning.
Do you get most work through marketplaces like this or via people you wish have a connection with? I'm really interested in knowing if you could make a "good" living on these marketplaces if you want to sustain a middle class lifestyle as an adult with kids in Canada or the US (let's leave it the most expensive real estate regions). I briefly reviewed this space several years ago and didn't think it would pay enough to even remotely compete with more traditional employment, especially when you consider factors like "doing your taxes" and healthcare.
Doesn't Spotify say "don't play at work"? Seems it shouldn't be on in the break room
Oh, fully agreed! And I think Pirsig would have agreed, too.

Regardless, you need some level of understanding to make the call. A particularly funny anecdote from the book, if you read it, is when he decides some fix is too delicate for him and takes his motorcycle to a repair shop. Right from the start he gets a bad vibe -- the mechanics are all kids listening to loud music and seemingly not paying attention to what they are doing. This is later confirmed: they return his bike without fixing the problem, then try to fix it more seriously but forget to screw some vital parts, leading to additional damage, and in the end they completely fail to fix the problem. What's important is that right from the start Pirsig got the feeling something was off about this repair shop, and he could sense this because he know enough about the components of his bike (for example, he guessed they had forgotten to screw something down simply because it's easy to miss and he knew this screw was there).

If, like his friend John, you decide "I have something else to spend my time on, better leave this to the professionals", it might seem superficially a pragmatic choice but it could also make you fail to notice the repairmen who are bad at their jobs, until it's too late and your piece of machinery fails catastrophically.

I fully agree that education is fundamental for everyone to have, but not simply to allow everyone to have a good job. Just because it would make society so much better for everyone.

For this reason I'm also convinced that every single kid should have access to the same high quality education, independently from how much their family pushes them to it.

I'm also convinced that people should have the chance to get back on studies at a later point in life, because it's a delusion to think that every kid will understand the need for education in their teenage years.
Ok, to be fair I am doing to same thing (asserting opinions without facts).

I don't work at Rockstar so it's true I have no idea how this bug was handled.

I just have a hard time believing they didn't know about the bug, and I also have a hard time believing they didn't understand that it was one of the chief complaints from their end users (a simple check of any forum or discussion group is all thats needed).

So, I an only assume short of an actual explanation, that they intentionally sidelined a fix for this bug. Why, is anyone's guess. If you had to ask me, management put all devs onto money making tasks like new items and store support, and fixing quality of life bugs even ones as egregious as this one, was a low priority.
Somewhat related: I have on occasion needed to make low resolution, pixel-perfect images for various projects. But when I export from Photoshop, all of the rough edges get smoothed out, no matter what file format I choose. Very frustrating. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong, or if there's a setting I have to twiddle?
Yeah I think it's easy for up and coming musicians to blame Spotify for their financial woes, but as someone who was an aspiring musician in the 90s I can tell you it was no picnic back then. Everyone I knew was broke, so the only way to make a record was to get signed, and that involved playing shows in front of A&R people which meant finding venues etc - all on your own dime. If you did manage to get signed and get an advance, you probably used it to buy better instruments and maybe pay rent for a month or two but it didn't last long. Then if you were lucky and the label decided to distribute your stuff, you'd make about a dollar between you for every full length album you sold. Music has never been about making money. You might as well play the lottery if that's your goal.

And as a consumer of music, I am very happy to be paying $14.99 a month for access to a collection that would have been virtually impossible for an individual to assemble 20 years ago. Music has been opened up to people in a way that did not exist before Spotify. Also, a good deal of the music I listen to is stuff I had already bought on CD or vinyl years before, so those artists are getting paid twice for me listening now.

Bottom line is it's always been hard to break through into making money from music. Nothing has changed except the way it's distributed.
I can guess that this kind of bug might have been easier to fix by binary patching than in the source.

The bug was probably in a library, or perhaps in a library in a library. Probably written by a third party. Probably you don't have access to the source. Probably they don't care about your performance feature requests, and if they do, the response will be "we'll get that in the next version, next year".
There's an active community at tecmobowl.org, they have been releasing updated versions of Tecmo Super Bowl (originally 1991) annually. Updated player rosters. Lots of graphics mods. Tons of gameplay "hacks".

Mostly focused on the NES original but also SNES and other platforms.

As someone who just recently got into this hobby, I agree with the author that YY-CHR is essential!
I laughed, but I think the postal workers already put up with enough shit. No need to make them wear uncomfortable costumes.

It just seemed like a missed opportunity to make lemonade from these design constraints. Though maybe it'd be a safety issue to make the mail delivery vehicle excite the kiddos as much as my little old red miata does because it resembles Lightning McQueen.
That's a vague value statement. But it's meaningless without any concrete solution/proposal presented.

It's easy to agree on platitudes. The disagreement comes when it comes to the implementation.

That's my biggest problem with the BLM movement. The cause sounds great, but I still don't understand the solution. Everything is vague, like "systemic racism". It feels like they are just winding up millions of people into a frenzy, gaining allies to a cause that is to-be-defined. I shudder to think what solutions will finally be presented when everyone is at peak temperature.
In my case, it's not every day, it's narrow country lanes, it rains, it involves transporting kids and equipment.

You seem to be claiming it's better to travel 50 miles a day by car than 10 miles a day, which is clearly wrong.
I'll try to tread at least a little lightly here because this topic does tend to be a bit flammable, but caveat emptor.

My contrasting anecdotal experience is that whether at BigCo or on a small team monorepo is almost always the right answer until your requirements get exotic enough that you're in special-case land anyways (like a separate repo for machine-initiated commits, or something that's security-sensitive enough to wall off some contributors).

Both `git` and `hg` scale easily to to really big projects if you're storing text in them (at FB our C++ code was in a `git` monorepo on stock software until like 2014 or something before it started bogging down, I'll gloss over the numbers but, big): the monorepo-scaling argument is brought out a lot but rarely quantified.

The multi-repo problem that gets you is dependency management, which in the general case requires a SAT-solver (https://research.swtch.com/version-sat), but of course you don't have a SAT-solver in your build script for your small-to-medium organization, so you get some half-assed thing like what `pip` and `npm` do.

Again purely anecdotal, but in my personal experience multi-repo too often gets pushed by folks who want to make their own rules for part of the codebase ("the braces go here"), push an agenda around unnecessary RPCs, or both. That's not true of all cases of course, but it's a common enough antipattern to be memorable.
Ask HN: What are the best technologies/platforms for Ecommerce in 2021?
I am looking for ideas or suggestions of good technologies, services or platforms in 2021 for websites that do not deviate too much from the usual e-commerce user flow.

What would be your ideal infrastructure?

Would you build it from scratch? or would you use existing platforms (SaaS, self hosted CMS, etc.)?

Is there a combination of ERP, PIM and CMS that is working well for you?

I am specifically interested in answers targeting businesses with 100M$+ yearly turnover and with the requirements that they frequently have: multi-language, multi-currency, multi-warehouse.
If this was Apple, the response would be much different. Like the M1 DTK return fiasco, the devs complained about the low gift card price and in the end, Apple paid more.

Imagine going through all that effort into finding a critical vulnerability and developing a zero-click PoC exploit to jailbreak the current iDevice line-up and somehow end up selling it to Apple for $10k.

That is pretty much near to what you are seeing here with the effort into discovering this performance issue and providing a fix for it to Rockstar. Oh well.
I just wish Windows has built-in Docker so that i don't need to install anything like wsl,... Make docker run on bare-metal Windows is a huge improvement to my life !

If the cutting op protocol is exposed, that is really good. We can make a library.

>The concept that you should be able to repair it with a screwdriver and a 6-pack is outdated.

Nobody is saying that. Right to repair is basically the right for independent repair shops to even be able to acquire the equipment and parts necessary to do repairs. If an individual has the capital, and wishes to perform their own repairs, then yes that is an option.

Apple prevents you from taking two brand new authentic iPhone 12s and swapping the cameras. In this case, both cameras are authentic Apple hardware. For what reason should that not be permitted?
That would preclude smaller developers, people who pay the subscription but don’t submit apps but rather use other benefits of the program, and people who only or mostly make free apps.
I personally have seen the opposite problem - the friction of making small changes to "utility" libraries becomes a huge pain point for developers when you have to make changes, test locally, push to package manager, update all consumers to use the new version... It's much easier, in my experience, to just consume a class that's already in the same project / repo.
I don't even know. The HOA was here before I moved in. Why are you so angry?

To be literal, the reason I think "I" (actually the HOA) have a say is because a bunch of legal paperwork says so. All the home owners signed it.

A year from now I won't have any say, because I won't be on the board.

Generally, I like the HOA since they mow my lawn. But if you are religiously opposed to being a member of an HOA, then you just wouldn't move into a house that's subject to one. All the people that live in this neighborhood were aware of it before they moved in.

Different people want different things.
You can compute the checksums outside of the lock. You just need to compare them inside the lock.

The key thing here is that prior to the lock if data changes you recompute the checksums. As long as any change outside the lock triggers a recompute of the corresponding checksums and no changes can occur during the lock, there is no race condition.

I imagine that this may result in data getting de-synced/failing the checksum comparisons more often however it's still a net performance increase as long as the aggregate time spent re-syncing the data is less than the extra time spent waiting for checksums in the lock.
Hum, Yep, seeing (S4-G and E) Ericaceae was my first feeling also (I was thinking in Calluna in any case) (S4-E) resembles also a Conifer.
I duno, if true about the code I find it very difficult to empathize with Netgate

From what has been said it's not like they found and fixed a subtle and cryptic vulnerability in an otherwise reasonable implementation and then failed to disclose it properly. It's more like they turned over a rock and found a murder victim. The guy from Netgate is also coming across as very inward looking and seems to assume everyone else's motivations are also purely selfish (referring to his comment implying a "shower of contracts" they might receive for the publicity). His focus should be on how to prevent this mistake from happening in future.

This is rather tangential, but I mistakenly read 'Lifestream' instead of Litestream, because I have built lifestream protocols in the past, which aggregates multiple different social media data points into one (usually infinite scrolling) view, similar to a 'Tumblog'.

The difference being that Google has deprecated the shimming to Docker they had been doing with the “Docker” runtime to access containerd, so now it will go straight to the source by default.

Red Hat OpenShift also switched from using Docker as its runtime with OpenShift 4 in 2019, though it was in favor of CRI-O rather than containerd.

Digital data has created a fascinating situation for artists because every new piece of art/music/video/etc. will henceforth always be competing with perfect replicas from the corpus of all human creation.

That means the added incremental value of a new unit of art/etc. will asymptote to zero.

This is one negative downside to the many upsides of digital technology.

CryptoTask platform would take 0% if you don't use escrow system, giving you 100% of completed task value.
If you decide to use an escrow system, platform would take 3% from total task value.
About 70% - There's affiliate system, which allows for freelancer who can't find a job themselves, rely on a headhunter type of users, who'd connect freelancer with a client.
10% from the total task value goes to the platform, where 20% of the task value is meant for a headhunter.
As both systems are still in development (development roadmap can be found no https://about.cryptotask.org/), percentage of task value going to headhunter could potentially be manually set.
They can be a touch snotty towards developers who aren't freebsd committees.
