They may not focus better in every scenario, just 'different'. And I've found there are certain types of photography where focus on even entry-level mirrorless destroys the DSLR experience.

But for sports and wildlife, you do need to get the highest-end bodies for a pleasant AF experience that can match the high-end DSLRs like the D850, D500 (which IMO were basically 'magic' in giving keepers once you understood the system).

The bigger advantage with mirrorless, as the image processing pipeline catches up, is the ML algorithms that can run on the entire image giving more control over focus tracking in weird situations, where the more optical AF systems in DSLRs don't have as much data to build from.

It's crazy how good AF got over the years on DSLRs, and it's also amazing how quickly all three (Sony, Nikon, and Canon) have put together competent AF pipelines in their mirrorless bodies. Sony leads here a little, but just barely, and mostly because they were all-in on high-end mirrorless before Nikon or Canon really got serious.

Too little too late. I'm not sure that it's going to undo the damage to the publics view of ownership and repair rights perception that has already been destroyed.

I believe this will just push us more in to the non-ownership society. You can no longer buy your phone you can only lease/license it. That agreement prohibits third party repair.

If the FTC was serious about correcting this there would be very public investigations and fines against these companies. Specifically they should target Tesla as their abuses fly in the face of long established understanding of car repair. Mostly it just gets ignored because people are primed to no longer believe they own anything.

Completely agree. I used to work mainly in Ruby, and I guess I miss its rich standard library, but overall TypeScript is such a joy to work with that now I use it for almost everything.
I didn't say it was a religion. Divination is the preformative aspect of astrology, tarrot cards, and the like. All the religions you mentioned have equally silly preformative aspects.

Most folks attend church for a sense of community and to find purpose and meaning in the void of human existence. Astrology provides something similar. Obviously it is pseudoscience. But I'm not sure how much that actually matters. Like the article says, people don't really listen to what she says, they use it to confirm what they already thought, or as a frame to help organize their scattered thoughts.

And just like religion, people can take it to ridiculous places.

This. Google must be well aware of their reputation. It boggles my mind why they keep repeating the same pattern.

Maybe it's just my bubble (HN, tech twitter, like-minded friends) but it certainly seems like everyone in it is loathe to adopt new Google stuff, precisely because they have a reputation going back 15+ years of mercilessly killing anything they release, no matter how great it is.

I would bet if they commit to maintaining a product for x years (and continually extend that timeline) they'd see a lot more use.
Trucks pay higher tax rates for diesel, but I don't think the point of use fees must be to charge people for how much damage they do to the roads but how much benefit they obtain from the roads.

This is very tricky because roads have so many positive externalities. Even if you live in a walkable neighborhood and don't own a car, you will walk to stores that have goods delivered to them by truck, right to your neighborhood, so you can walk up and buy them. Without all those trucks bringing things close to where you live, you wouldn't have that convenience and would need to get a car yourself. Probably a heavy car since you'd have to haul everything yourself -- everyone would need to drive right up to the factory gate and then transport it back for every good you buy. Imagine what that would do to the road quality! So trucks help use the road more efficiently and actually save the road relative the alternative of not having dedicated trucking.

And not only that, but that fact means local stores are in competition with stores farther away, which drives down prices. So even people who never drive obtain many valuable benefits from the roads that connect their neighborhood to other neighborhoods, and many of these benefits are delivered, so to speak, by trucks. Thus everyone pays for these benefits.

This idea that once there is a road connecting two markets, that prices begin to equalize in them was one of the things observed by Adam Smith when he talked about how local shopkeepers often opposed roads connecting their town to towns with larger markets (and cheaper goods). Now they don't equalize perfectly, they equalize up to transportation costs. Thus lowering transportation costs for the trucks that ship goods between markets results in lower prices for everyone who buys those goods, even if they don't use the road themselves. This is why it makes sense to subsidize the transportation of goods.

Thus our current system makes sense, roads are paid in part from general funds, in part from use fees, and there are some extra fees added to trucks.

Why on earth are you even bothering to comment on the post then? If you're not interested enough to even skim the paper why do you think anyone would be interested to hear what your opinion of it is? You're not "brutally honest", you're just ignorant.
To clarify for you (again), my comment was regarding your unfounded derision of existing, proven, lifesaving technologies—I was not dismissing of the technique proposed in the article.

I don't think _"F### ventilators. They damage the patient's lungs, and laying tubes into the trachea requires traumatic surgery and carries significant secondary infection risk"_ is really offering an informed or balanced discussion of the risks and benefits of intubation and ventilation hence my initial reply.

On the contrary, this offers an emotive, highly negative, and uninformed opinion with no balance. We are in a time of a global pandemic with the general public now aware of intubation, ventilation, ECMO, CPAP, BiPAP, and other respiratory interventions. Many people and/or their families are having to face or consider these interventions. Your comment is potentially harmful.

Against to be clear, the medical profession is (spoiler alert) acutely aware of the risks and negatives of ventilation, including extended ventilation, ECMO, surgical and percutaneous traches, and every other intervention that is offered. These risks are discussed with patients and families who often lack the domain expertise, it therefore being part of the role of the doctor to explain to the best of their knowledge what options the patient has before them and likely outcomes of the different options. Ultimately (ideally) the patient makes a decision for themselves based on this information.

You can be sure that the nuanced and balanced discussion is a little more informative than "F### ventilators".

> If you have a long vector, say, 1000 elements, and you need to copy 500 of them to shift them over for an insert, you are going to be very slow compared to a linked list.

It takes almost no time at all to do that, depending on the size of the elements. But you have a starting assumption there that the vector must always be stored sorted. Challenge that assumption. If insertion is perfectly balanced with traversal it may be true, but that's also rarely the case. It's fairly trivial to instead track if the vector is already sorted or not & sort when sorted access is actually needed.

> Besides, linked lists aren't that bad if the nodes are close enough in memory (read: consecutive)

Which doesn't really happen outside of a controlled benchmark. If the linked list is stored in a single consecutive allocation, then resizing has observable side effects (eg, pointers to elements become invalidated). You can do things like allocate chunks at a time so that some elements are consecutive, but you won't have all elements consecutive or close in memory.
A solution might be to allow your automobile manufacturer to provide the state authority (who charges for mileage) on a cadence with the data, scoped only to mileage data.

Tesla has the mileage data for all of my vehicles. They could even provide mileage driven data by state. I wouldn’t mind clicking an approve button, and have my credit card charged when needed. This is already how my tolls work (albeit with a transponder instead of vehicle telemetry).
You usually have a Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV). Depending on crate this has to be set higher or lower. Of course you try to support old Rust compilers as long as possible, but you will bump it up once in a while. Rust has become fairly stable now, especially since it's past the 1.0 release so stuff largely remains backwards compatible. You usually see MSRV requiring a compiler younger than 1-2 years, that's what I'm used to seeing.
This is a hard problem to solve. The amount of work required is huge. I understand the problem. I work on Italian CNC machines. Half my time debugging is in Google translate trying to figure out comments, variable names and error messages. I don't think it's impossible to translate all of the material to English but it would cost hundreds of thousands. I Know FOSS doesn't have the same economic model but it does have opportunity costs. If someone wants to advocate for this great, I'd be cautious to ever disparage a project for not doing this. Simply because it is a tremendous amount of work.
How can one trust the hardware keys though? The manufacturer/supplier could have installed a backdoor (very reasonable to do, as people paying for these keys are likely to have sth valuable).
> How does this differ from trusting a compiler or interpreter?

When was the last time you found a bug and it was the compiler or interpreter's fault?

At any rate, the big difference is debugging, as I mentioned above. How fun is it to debug code which you only kind of indirectly wrote?

> JavaScript today has stellar tooling in comparison, and arguably less warts in its standard library than PHP still has today.

There are a lot of reasons to like JavaScript as a language and NodeJS as a particular implementation. The standard library (or lack thereof) is absolutely not one of them as things stand today. I'm not even sure what you'd compare between them.

If you meant to say "package available at the other end of npm install" instead of "standard library" I could see that being a different story.

I'm of the opinion it all goes back to the gametes. Lots vs few. If a creatures can be extremely reproductively successful it adds weight to the success side of the success/failure equation, which in turn encourages more extreme behavior. Big risks can pay off if there exists the potential for big rewards. This results in more variation and hence a flatter curve. Averaging the same as females but more male geniuses and more male idiots. Any category that centers more toward one end of the spectrum of possibility I'd expect to see more males. Infant mortality, birth defects, high school dropouts, chess grandmasters, murderers, etc. The effect is not enormous but the further toward the extreme you go the more the measurement is going to be dominated by men.

> This biggest "aha" benefit I get from TypeScript is that it is structurally typed, while Java is nominally typed. In my experience it has proven much easier to refactor in TS because I just need to ensure my objects have all the right properties. With Java if I have a Thing1, but a library is updated to add just a single new property so now there is a Thing2 type, well now then all the places I need a Thing2 I have to completely copy over from Thing1 - I can't just add the property and be on my merry way. This happened to me many times in my Java career - I still think I have PTSD having to do a Jersey 1.x upgrade to a Jersey 2.x version across a large codebase. It was a nightmare I've never had anything come close to with Typescript.

Not so much refactoring as upgrading, but tis an example of why duck typing is kinda nice

Can confirm. As someone who never formally learn programming, the moment I learned Python I never touched C# or Javascript again at will.

The syntax of Python is just way, way more straightforward. I do agree it may be a disadvantage for serious software engineering, but as a hobby? I will pick Python over others all day every day.
Come on, as someone that has worked professionally with Django and Next.js, the only similarity they have is that they're both web frameworks. Django is light years ahead than Next.js is it's not even funny.

Here's a very simple metric: Compare the Next.js documentation (https://nextjs.org/docs/getting-started) with Django's (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/contents/) - better yet, compare the actual API reference and exported classes/methods.

Yes, Next.js is one of the better Node/Javascript frameworks, but it's incredibly inferior to any other established framework in Python, Java, PHP, Elixir, etc. — unless you only need a static page with some dynamic React components. I am in the unfortunate position of maintaining a more complex Next.JS app, using most of its "advanced" features such as dynamic routing, SSR, GraphQL, API, and it's the most painful project I have ever had the misfortune to work on, because the upstream interface and API is so woefully under-documented, buggy, changes too quickly it's hard to stay up-to-date, etc. etc. I weep every time someone on this forum suggests to start a new project with Next.js.

In theory Javascript on the server and client is a productivity boost, in practice it is not by any measure.

ML explainability is a wide field with a lot of success. For example you can discover what features are activating which detections. You comment, taken literally, suggests that research in this field is impossible. That is not the case.
From the paper ( https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S014976342... )

[we sought to integrate findings from a wide survey of the extant literature on s/g effects in human structural and functional brain imaging, using the search terms “sex” and “gender” in lieu of “sex difference” and “gender difference.” ]

So they excluded studies that found differences.
The probability of a 50% guess getting 75% accuracy (I believe the paper is something like 77.2%) on 252 trials is 1 in 10^15.
The problem here is that the majority of users don't actually have informed consent. They don't know what is happening. They think it's just being served ads or something and are like "OK, I can accept the ads in exchange for the service" - what they don't know is FB is passing data to and from data brokers, purchasing your credit card purchases, matching your phone numbers against real life data, then leaking that data to unintended recipients via API or otherwise.
