I appreciate the feedback. I'm not at all interested in seeking it out anymore, those days are long behind me. I think I might be able to relate to the "trying it" again craving. I don't think I was able to differentiate that inclination from how I thought I was supposed to feel. Perhaps that's how subtle the addiction is why it's so hard to defeat.

I would prefer the idea of workspaces where I use a tag to classify all items related to a project. Discussions, documents, meetings,meeting recordings, calendar events, presentations, people, etc. So i can actually switch my workspace and all what i need is there. This will make my life easier and prevent context switching

I can confirm that with phone cameras (especially iPhone) where they are now, I feel no need to bring my 8 year old DSLR anywhere any more.
One of the reasons I'm a HN type is that I'm the type of entrepreneur who will beat himself into the ground to get to my results, no matter what it takes.

Part of the reason for this is that when I was much younger, my family DID turn their back on me, and I became homeless, and I was treated as a black sheep loser all my life and was compelled to reach for other things. I did not have friends for the most part, and my family ties were much worse than that, and I dreaded any connections I had to have.

Made for a lot of free time to work on things that interested me. I was happier during the holidays when I'd got past whatever obligations I even had, those being as minimal as possible.

It didn't make me a good person. It made me a bad person. I've spent years trying to overcome that badness, with some success, despite not getting a lot of reason to bother: I didn't grow up with any sort of positive role models or connections (Dad having rage and guilt issues, and Mom literally being a secret heroin addict). I'd probably be dead if Mom hadn't got clean, then got me clean (we were both so miserable that any change seemed exciting) and started a long slow road towards being less toxic.

You will find damaged people without the importance of family (in a normal sense) among the most significant and influential people in hacker culture, and in SV unicorn culture. These are the people who ride the unicorns, because they aren't normal and aren't good people… just inhumanly driven.

GOOD family makes for good people. Good people aren't always what you look for when you're trying to make the next billion-dollar tech unicorn. Certainly not in leadership.

Honestly the weight doesn't appeal to me. I own a lovely DSLR, but I don't take it anywhere because I don't like lugging it around.

The smartphone serves most of my needs in a camera. Yeah the photos aren't as good, but they're good enough.
Thanks, I like the idea of Gemini, but haven't found the time to try any of the clients yet.

In my eyes it has a few shortcomings straight out of the gates by requiring TLS and also by being relatively new tech, so there's not much established knowledge base, and the "early problems" are still being solved.

It's much less accessible than Web in many different scenarios, such as when I can't install software on my device, when I'm using an older device, etc.
When shooting JPEG, I just use an Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter cable, and import straight to my phone (and iCloud Photo Library).

The cable is in my camera bag, and it takes less than a minute to do the import.

Don’t ever buy a Bosch dishwasher, or any other dishwasher, based solely on how loud it is.

Make sure that they have an active fan-driven drying/cooling mode at the end.

Otherwise, I guarantee you will regret it.

We will never, ever, buy another Bosch dishwasher again, regardless of how well rated they supposedly are.

It would be easier if I had more ports on my computer, but the trend from Apple and other computing providers is to reduce, streamline, and eliminate opportunities physical connectivity. Even with a top-end Macbook Pro, you've only got 4 ports. One for power, two for external monitors, and you're down to 1 for everything else. So I have a big nest of dongles and adapters to accommodate my keyboard, mouse, microphone, webcam, printer, yubikey, and camera card readers. It looks like a major fire hazard.

It's not the end of the world, but it's enough friction that I tend to handle review/editing in batch rather than after every shoot. That's a luxury that I have as a hobbyist, since nobody is expecting me to send them my edits right away.

UX is all about small changes that have a big impact to how you use something. And the physical inconvenience of digging through my adapter/dongle nest is a deterrent, as is the clunkiness of Adobe Lightroom.
In this particular though, the spec explicitly talks about that [0]

Which means that if you are putting 64 bit integers into JSON and require every bit to be used, you are not actually creating a JSON which is compatible with all the consumers. For example, such JSON is not compatible with browser. Here is what my Firefox's JQ console says:

>> x = '{"id":675127116845989888,"id_str":"675127116845989888"}'
<- "{\"id\":675127116845989888,\"id_str\":\"675127116845989888\"}"
>> JSON.parse(x)
<- Object { id: 675127116845989900, id_str: "675127116845989888" }

I'd say that JQ acting the same way as browsers is pretty reasonable, no?

Slightly off topic, but that article should be required reading for anybody writing documentation. Wouldn't it be nice when trying to use some new framework or device if the writer not only imparted knowledge of the product but also the underlying principles that make it work!

Instead you get some huge corporation like Apple or Microsoft whose idea of documentation is some kind of rigid recipe stuck on their website that is out of date or missing some critical step that the writer assumes is common knowledge. Or Texas Instruments woeful bluetooth stack where the documentation is basically their online forum, a giant heap of misery where perplexed engineers are advised to check if the device has power and if it does, can they reproduce the error on the 2017 release before the Ti engineers get involved.

As an example I just abandoned trying to set up a cross platform app in xamarin for this reason. Flutter docs are much better so even if its rubbish I am already further along.

In reality those things also change depending on your luck and how 'in-sync' you are with the industry. Just upgraded your ddr3 ram in 2013? Get ready for ddr4 which will require both new ram and a new motherboard - and any new high-performance cpu will only be compatible with ddr4 so you're forced to upgrade lest you be stuck on an old standard. This is about to happen with ddr5 as well, by the way.

They aren't. Web apps can't be trusted with access to barely anything on your system, lest they copy it to sell as advertising. As long as the internet is fueled by advertising, essentially all web apps are adware.
It is reasonable to say that it was not so clear then as it is in retrospect, but the point being made here is that contemporary attempts to clarify the issue were not just ignored, but actively sabotaged by the naval establishment. Deliberate ignorance is not the same as being justifiably uncertain.
> If you play "what if" and imagine the Japanese had won Midway, and the US had no carriers at all, that gives the Japanese total control of the Pacific. The Japanese can take Hawaii if they want to, because how could the US possibly reinforce and resupply it? The Japanese can attack shipyards and ports on the West Coast at their leisure - and those would be defended obviously, but the attacks would greatly slow the progress of shipbuilding.

So here's the big problem with that thesis: the attacks at Pearl Harbor and Midway stretched the IJN's supply and logistical capabilities to their utmost limits. It's very likely that in any actual attempt to take Pearl Harbor, the US would have sabotaged the port facilities to the point that it would have required months, if not years [1], to bring it back up to an operational status capable of being used as a forward operating base for striking the US West Coast. Oh, and this is Hawaii--everything has to be brought in from the mainland, which means you're diverting a lot of shipping to maintain a supply line while you're repairing the harbor at the same time. Which is going to be vulnerable to submarine activity the entire time, and Japanese anti-submarine practices were terrible.

Yes, Hawaii is the strategic linchpin of the Pacific Ocean. However, it is so remote that actually acquiring strategic control is extremely challenging. At the same time, Japan is basically running against the clock: the Essex carriers start commissioning at the beginning of 1943, and that's the countdown Japan is running against. Japan just doesn't have the time to consolidate Pearl Harbor into an advance operating base, even if it could theoretically capture it.

[1] Keep in mind that the US was still in the middle of upgrading Pearl Harbor to serve as Pacific Fleet anchorage, which was I believe a decade-long process.
When I was much younger I was the only non-smoker in an office of about 10 people. This included the owner and his wife who also worked there. Several times a day one or more of them would spend ~15 minutes loitering around smoking a cigarette. I'm prone to throwing myself into my work, even back then, and so initially this didn't really bother me. But, eventually the imbalance in workplace expectations, around scheduled breaks up against this informal unscheduled break they all benefited from, started to bug me. Sooooooo... one day I just start going outside randomly and standing around looking at the trees and listening to the birds for 10-15 minutes at a time. A few days of this went by and my boss (the owner) asked me what I was doing (insinuating I should get back to work). I said, "The same thing the rest of you do everyday, just without the part where I'm also lighting money and my wellbeing on fire. Sometimes I eat an apple or a banana though." Thankfully he was the sort to be reasoned with and saw my point. Shortly thereafter he quit smoking.
> when content gets expurgated because of blatant misinformation, it is taken as a sure sign of that source’s truthfulness.

The difficulty is that it can mean either it's true and the authorities don't want you to know it, or it's false and they don't want you to believe it. Judging information either way based only on it being censored leads to error of two different types. Neither is correct thinking but plenty of people make the opposite mistake of trusting authorities and I think we need both types if we're going to have either. A country full of conformist sheep of any sort would be at risk of some sort of totalitarianism or other political disaster.
Thanks for that comments, that’s help me a bit in my understanding but bear with me, I haven’t use a camera in 5 or 6 years.

My favorite methods was to remove the SD card from the device and plug it into my computer thought a clunky adaptor. Usually I would do that once a month.

Is that not a option anymore?

Yeah, I've been watching the same as you describe, and I think jQuery was the peak, but also the beginning of the descent into abstraction.

A couple of years ago, I realized that the art of web development is about to be lost, and I started to re-learn all those lost skills, such as direct DOM manipulation, feature-checking, backwards compatibility testing, etc.

I now have a reasonably functional website which works back to the earliest HTTP/1.1 browsers, like IE3 and NN2, classics like Windows Safari and Opera 12, and many many other lovable, once again usable browsers.

In low light, I’ve never seen a smartphone that will beat a fast prime on a mirrorless or DSLR camera.

I think most of these enterprise systems do not handle a lot of data. If you look at what they actually do it’s very simple, the implementation is just the most complicated possible.
Because enterprise systems were typically written by people who no longer work for the enterprise (and may no longer be in this plane of existence), because these systems have been adapted over long periods of time to applications and platforms that were never anticipated during the original design, and because writing, testing, and deploying large-scale systems is still not well-understood.

Predictive optimization may have something to do with it, in the same way that maybe RMS Titanic might not have hit the iceberg if they'd been able to make the gin-and-tonics consumed by first-class passengers colder.
Because a star like ours has a power density of a compost pile. You can run a generator from one, but you need a LOT of it to get any appreciable power. Ludicrous amounts, really.

Thankfully for the viability of fusion, reactions scale with temperature to the 4th power (iirc), so you get 10000x higher power density by running things at 10x the temperature. Since the containment difficulty goes up at a far slower rate than this, it makes higher temperatures both more space efficient and power efficient, and eventually lets you extract more energy from the fusion reactions than you're spending on magnetic containment.

Do you think there is something specific about fossil fuels chemically that is indispensable?

I always thought that given sufficient energy, you could make whatever you like. Meaning using fossil fuels is just a matter of using up fossilized energy because it's cheaper.
Just a year before this article, everyone thought smart cards were the wave of the future. All of your credit cards, IDs, and medical records were going to be stored on one card.

The rest of the world did move on to smart cards in limited form, from phone cards to credit cards. The USA never did implement these cool ideas; and our credit-card companies JUST NOW put chips in their cards... but then blew it by still resorting to signatures instead of PINs.

At the risk of coming off as cantankerous, I think that this has worsened with the increasing immediacy of social sharing. Due to both the ephemerality and deluge of content that expedite a post's expiration date, there's even more pressure to stay on that FOMO-generating content treadmill. There were groups of students who kept partying throughout the pandemic and bragging about how "magical" their weekend wine tours and date nights were; any time I've been in a comparable situation, it's been kids acting and recording each other on their phones, feeding the simulation machine.
> but plenty of people make the opposite mistake of trusting authorities

In almost 40 years, my heuristic of trusting the government and ignoring anything being sold to me as “THEY don’t want you to know this!!” has worked out really well for me.
And complaints/bug fixes/questions are routed through five levels of middle management on either side of the corporate fence.

Their naval plans specifically aimed for effectively a second Battle of Tsushima. Basically, harass the American strike force from afar to whittle them down as they steam towards the Home Islands in a decisive, epic showdown, and once the Americans lose that engagement and see their entire fleet sunk, they give up and go home. (The Kantai Kessen plan).

The entire war, the Japanese were still waiting for the big decisive battle, no matter if they were winning or losing the various engagements, but they never got the big battle they wanted. Eventually, they did try to force it at the Battle of Leyte Gulf, although that attempt did not turn out well for them.
