Take the story of Bethleham Steel. Unassailable entrenched incumbent in steel production due to high capital costs.

Then a completely new way of steel production came about. Nothing iterative about it, a completely different set up that came with its downsides but had better economies of scale.

If there is a change to come, it's not by building a bigger fab that has higher capital costs. It's by making the idea of a fab entirely obsolete by finding a way to bypass all the steps involved in the current manufacturing process and producing a slightly inferior product in some way but isn't a multi-month long process with capital costs measured in $10s of billions. Fabless manufacturing was a great boon in its time by changing the business model around fabs but it didn't change the underlying engineering. Somebody, ultimately, owned a fab in the chain.

The real trick will be something that bypasses the whole idea of pure crystal ingots as the core of the process that has to be processed in batches with 100s of steps. Something more continuous and simplified would be revolutionary. Hypothetically, imagine instead of growing a perfect crystal and etching or doping it, you grew an imperfect crystal but that growth was controlled in the direction that got you 80% of the way to the layout of the final design. Or imperfections were embraced and utilised as a feature for randomised bias in AI cores than a flaw that wasn't tolerated.

All of this, hypothetical of course, but my point is even if we are at the end of this fabbing game, the real trick is creating a completely new game entirely.
It feels like we mostly focus on "to enable commerce" and have completely forgotten "makes life better".
Sony phones too seem to be quite underappreciated.

The Xperia X line came with amazing built-in noise-cancellation, which only required a special purpose made $20 NC31E earphone with a 5-pole connector.

The performance of this combo to my surprise was amazing! It matched WH-1000XM4 and Bose QC20 in home-office environments. Not having to carry around yet another earphone that needs charging was radical.

Sadly, the whole line failed, and the feature was removed in the following series.

People think that "survival" is proof of aesthetic and functional superiority (we've seen this in all sorts of things - from programming languages/OSs to philosophies to races to religions).

It is not.
>Removable batteries create bulk, make the phone ugly.

I've always found this who argument hilarious given that a majority of people put a bulky, ugly case on their phones.
> What about recording your own thoughts and then playing them back to yourself later?

Wet dream of surveillance tech.

50 years ago, if you had suggested that someday all your social connections would be instantly available to all serious secret services as well as big corps, people would laugh at you. You'd be the negative guy, against progress. 1984 fans were the paranoid tinfoil hat guys. Today it's reality. And only few actually care.

You don't want tech to automatically transcribe your thoughts. That's the only domain today where real privacy still exists.

There is a nice Black Mirror episode about this.

> Even without root, Tasker can automate every single aspect of the OS - Want to send and receive WhatsApp messages over email?[1], Want better accessibility e.g. Voice summary of news?[2], Want a butt triggered pomodoro timer?[3]. Termux runs a Linux container and it can run complete Linux distribution inside it with PRoot[4]. Best of all, Tasker & Termux can communicate with each other for endless possibilities.

Does anyone actually care about any of these things? I'm a long time Android user and I've installed both Tasker and Termux. Never found anything useful for them and uninstalled them.

I work in a software company, with lots of people who experiment with home automation etc - the kinds of things where this could be useful.

Instead everyone uses RPis, and controls them with apps from their iPhones.

I'm sure there are a few people who actually do this stuff. But in my experience they are the kinds of people who enjoy working around barriers, so would find a different way to achieve the same things anyway.
Well Greenwald has been posting some antimigration articles messages using language that skims very close to hard-right wording. Maybe he doesn't neatly fit into the (American) left/right schema, but by now he is mainly just a "bad media" propagandist.

Also I can't take anyone seriously who claims to criticise mainstream media (almost always the more Liberal slanted one), but goes regularly on Tucker Carlsson without ever seriously criticising them. To see how to properly criticise Fox and Tucker search for the leaked interview with rudger bergman.

Which is great until your backdraft cache invalidation signals start clogging things up because they're happening too often.

Caching isn't always something you can pre-plan for; you're not going to always have a clean, fully encapsulated space like a git database. Quite often the need for caching only comes about as a result of profiling. I've seen plenty of crazy cache systems that turned out to be completely unnecessary and incurred much technical debt in my days because we guessed wrong about the performance profile and expected usage graph at the start.

Sometimes only a subsection of the queries need to be cached, which is important because you may be facing constraints where a full cache would saturate your storage space.

Like in the game of go, it looks simple but the devil's in the details. Caching in the real world is hard, and because of that cache invalidation is also hard.
Sure, but it's an inaccurate way to describe the "cost".
Yeah, not to mention hyperloop. I’m amazed there are still quite a few people taking that seriously...
Thanks!

Right, which don't apply to this situation.
I have a different view: it’s not the collection that’s the problem, it’s the firehose attached to the database. For the applications you mention, make aggregation over all records prohibitively expensive by design.
Some buses are more fuel efficient than average; so are some cars.

I was not promoting specific numbers; the point is there's a tradeoff and a tipping point where more trips make things worse, whatever the numbers are.

Averages have a way of being a lot lower than peak numbers, too.

In another lifetime ago, back when I was much younger, had a lot more hair, and phones weren't very smart; the cell phone store I was working at had a customer come in with his LG flip phone. The users primary complaint was that it was shocking him on his face while using it plugged into the charger and on a call.

After plugging the phone in we called it from the store phone and sure enough not long after answering the thing gave me a nice big zap on my hand.

Never recommended LG phones after that.
I don’t think so, and it would be hard to collect truly independent data on miles driven for example, though the data from Tesla is pretty convincing and no public data I can find contradicts it. They’re not safe in all conditions and I wouldn’t personally pay for their ‘FSD’ product but they’re safer than the average human in average conditions (a very low bar).
I’ve been playing around with code sharing options between web, mobile and desktop platforms.

The idea is that the app core is written once in Rust and bindings are automatically generated to all target platforms.

I have a project that starts with protobuf files and generates Rust for the shared core, and Dart (ffi) and JS (wasm) for the client stubs. The generated client interface is “platform-native-async” so Dart Futures or JS Promises. The bridge passes protobuf messages back and forth between both language contexts and takes care of the threading/async mapping.

My daughter’s kindergarten class has multiple break out sessions per day via Zoom. The break out sessions are managed by the teacher.

Remote learning for young children is tough, but I see good teachers making it tolerable. Luckily, out kids are going back to in person schooling after Spring Break is over.
Czech coronavirus response was a rollercoaster.

We were the best in spring 2020. Then came the summer respite and the government started resting on their laurels. Then came the menacing autumn and an absolutely disastrous winter, when we actually were the worst in the world. If the USA had the same mortality as we have, it would have over 800 000 deaths by now.

Now the disease is falling off again in lockdown, but really fast, faster than expected (people are lukewarm about the rules).

There is some suspicion that the British variant simply swept through the nation so hard that, even with the subpar vaccination campaign, we have reached the herd immunity inadvertently. Clearly some of the regions that were worst hit just a month or two ago (Chebsko, Trutnovsko) are now doing OK, which seems to indicate lack of fuel for further infections there.

>It's not meant to be insulting, it's just based on the numbers

It's offensive and insulting to go off on an anti-American tangent that signals a complete lack of engagement with the comment supposedly being replied to.

You're compounding it. Whether what you write is true or not, has nothing to do with it being an obnoxious political digression.

I made a comment on tradeoffs. Whether anybody is willing to spend money on things that have a positive return for society is changing the subject. The assumption was that we all are.
I had a similar confusion; apparently you can form long-running, multi-thousand user, searchable chat rooms.
Nope. MSFS and X-Plane may start as games, but you'd be surprised how widely they are used in professional aerospace and aviation for a variety of purposes. In fact, back when MS had the old Flight Simulator (disbanded in 2006,) they had developed and sold a parallel commercial version which was used in a variety of flight simulation and training platforms. It was this version that was sold to Lockheed Martin, which became Prepar3D, which--whether you agree or not--is explicitly licensed as "not a game."

Now, one could argue the differences between X-Plane and MSFS in terms of realism. From a professional point of view (airline pilot or aerospace engineer,) both are very much in the same general field. Truth is that neither of them meet performance requirements to be used in the kind of certified full motion flight simulators airline pilots use on the job, although both products arguably have components that are useable in those. However, both products are also highly extensible. Just because the out of the box models may not be super detailed doesn't mean an add-on product can't come with its own flight and system models--for instance, PDMG and FlightSimLabs produce airliners for the old FSX and Prepar3D that will outperform most everything on X-Plane from a realism perspective. Expect that their products will be on MSFS2020 in time.

Also, it's important to distinguish between flight model realism and systems realism. Both X-Plane and MSFS add-ons can and do come with their own flight and system models which replace out of the box componentry, but arguably it's the flight models that are more dependent on the capabilities of the base sim. Everyone complaining about the lack of realism in the MSFS stock G1000 implementation should just wait 6-9 months, and surely something better will be out.

From my POV, the new MSFS does 2 extremely impressive, arguably revolutionary things, and the aerospace/aviation industry has taken note: a) The photogrammatry rendering of the whole earth in high fidelity 3D detail, and b,) the representation of the real ATC airspace through leveraging ADS-B (i.e. FlightAware and Flight-Radar 24.) Simulating a single airplane to a high degree of fidelity on desktop hardware is easy. Simulating (I mean truly simulating) an airspace of airplanes is not... ATC in most sims--to date--is scripted, not fully simulated. Piping in the real world (and combining it with live multiplayer) is a very interesting alternative.
Amazing news, thank you for sharing.

Prawn’s pure ruby implementation of image layout makes it too slow for the graphics heavy technical manuals I write (though I haven’t used asciidoctor-pdf in 12 months.) I ended up drafting documents with 10dpi images just to get it to render quickly enough for layout but even then, adding images turned a 100ms render into a 6000ms render.

Hopefully this problem goes away with a fast web based stack.

I’ve never had much luck with break-after/before:avoid for <h2>. I hope their css or paged.js works for avoiding this common fault.

That is not a deliberate choice, but an unfortunate artifact of setting the content div to have a maximum width of 652 pixels. If you reduce the width of your browser, the word "better" will be split instead. If you reduce it further, the line wrapping is achieved without splitting any words in that paragraph.

Fortinet?
The trouble with this capacity utilization argument is that the driving happens roughly at the same time. One could also argue that we can get rid of 2/3 of beds because humans sleep only 8 out of 24 hours on average. Aside from many practical limitations, the trouble is that the majority of people sleep in the same timeframe.
Nice project. But mind that Some risks are designed by default. 1. Centralisation 2. Search 3. No automatic retention 4. Hard issues for managing online and offline backup/restore are not tackled. 4. Option to use cloud storage/ service 5. Too much details needed for a customerrecord.

Text on the site is often incorrect. ‘pseudonymization as a valid solution to store customer data as defined by GDPR.’ This is simple not true. Gdpr measurements are based on defined risks that differ per use case.

Pug and Stylus for html / css preprocessors, especially if you're new to coding.

I used to teach a lot of web dev classes to non web devs (mainly designers looking to upskill). One of the worst parts of html/css (or code in general), particularly when you're experimenting, is the strictness. Pug and Stylus are great preprocessors for experimenting and rapid iteration, particularly because they don't care. Pug doesn't care if you change between its syntax and html. Stylus doesn't care if you missed a ;, or a : in your style declaration. They are forgiving languages, essentially the antithesis of something like Typescript.

Absolutely excellent when you're trying to wrap your brain around something. I highly recommend them.
I don't mind a camera bump if it is symmetric horizontally. But most of the ones I've seen have the bump on one corner, which ruins the use case you mentioned of setting the device flat on a desk or table.

My Note 8 and a friend's Note 9 don't really have a camera bump at all, other than a barely raised ridge around the camera section. But unlike many other phones, this ridge is symmetric: it extends equally to the left and right. Even if this were a raised camera bump, it would still work for setting the phone on a table.

The iPhone I got from work is quite different: it has a rather thick camera bump on one corner. So when it sits on a table, if I tap on the display the whole phone wobbles.

That is very poor design, but now Samsung seems to have copied it! The newer Samsung phone have bumps in one corner just like the iPhone, so they would be just as annoying to use on a table.

For the moment I am hanging on to the Note 8 for dear life, until I find a newer phone with a good camera and either no bump or a symmetric bump. Are there any high end phones like this any more?

(Regarding a sibling comment about cases, that is one solution, but I don't use one and don't plan to.)
I would love to see a competitor spring up targeting the same enthusiast/prosumer segment. It seems like there are quite a few ex-employees with knowledge of how to build it.

Show HN: Code and Flow State Music
Hi HN!

I've been listening to music to years to get in the zone and I've accumulated a nice collection of playlists and artists that I can code, and focus, to for a very long time. I'm starting this community project to give programmers a good spot to find good flow music at.

If v1 doesn't have exactly what you want, bookmark it and check back later!

This is v1, and it's available on GitHub at https://github.com/elamje/codebeats. If you have a publicly available playlist that gets you focused, please make a pull request!

v1 has Spotify playlists, and is ready for Apple, YouTube, and other sources as well.

Happy Monday!
I mean, I didn't necessarily agree with all of his methods or reasonings on everything, but I've come to realize a lot of times his hands were just as tied as ours. And the draconian surveillance stuff? Yeah, he was directed to do that. One guess by whom.

He was "in charge" because he convinced Robert that he was the right guy for the job by finding a security flaw that let him log into Robert's personal UniFi Protect setup at his home. At that point Robert basically gave him carte blanche, but also started directing him to lock everything down. More than a bit of paranoia there, in my opinion.

It is widely understood that a you can be a slave or subject and be better off financially than a free man. A slave in the US South probably had better nutrition, food, technology, etc than many tribesmen in Africa, for example.

Is that an accurate description of your major point?

The way I see it, WWDC has been full of 2 year old Android features for 3 years now, and the iPhone hardware is always strictly less featured than that year's Galaxy phone. Certain changes sweep through the industry like the notch or no headphone jack etc, but you can always fine some Android phone with the mix you want.

If it wasn't for the Apple silicon (and the advantage is clearly Apple's) it would be just come down to whether you preferred iOS enough to overcome the obvious feature advantages on the Android side.
Not surprising, it really is the stans that built popularity for a brand like Tesla when it was a struggling company. Now that it is very successful, these people don't just disappear, they probably even feel more emotional attachment, like they are a parent to a successful child.
I'm genuinely not sure why you think it's insulting and anti-American to suggest American governments don't prioritize spending on public transit, when the numbers bear that out. It's an observation, not an attack. It's viewed as a welfare program, a lifeline for those who can't afford to own cars. American's don't really like public transit - in part because of this perception. That's not a value judgement. [1] Governments invest in things people like and care about and are popular - that's one way to get elected, after all.

Am I wrong? Do Americans actually love public transit, and is the government in fact willing to invest as much as it takes to make the system work right? All the data I've dug up suggests otherwise but if you have some I'm happy to read it.

> Whether anybody is willing to spend money on things that have a positive return for society is changing the subject. The assumption was that we all are.

Well, not really, narratives and entrenched interests do a good job of convincing people to vote against their own interests.

Yeah I was really trying to make a comment about the "path dependence" that lead us to the validation we got.

The last bit was flippant and I 100% agree with your comment.
Razer deathadder elite is the best I have so far.

Logitech G502 is even better. The scroll wheel can be locked, which helps when scrolling through the huge classes as well as Android Studio translation files where CTRL+F doesn't work. The weight is better, and it solves that annoying issue with Razer where it's hard to sync the colors to my playlist.

There's just one problem with the Logitech: it sometimes registers a click as a double click and fails to drag items properly.

A minor issue between the two is I like to copy/paste with my thumb. The death adder's fourth and fifth mouse button is even better placed.
