Have you grown up like this? I have. It's a lot more alienating than you think. In my case it was a religious upbringing with little outside cultural influences, and it does make it hard to interact and socialize with others.

You don't have shared experiences or languages. There's usually only a small amount of children who share what you experienced, and you don't always understand when they are joking, or how to deal with situations, or even what they are saying. And many times the kids you do know are weird or worse than those your parents think they are protecting you from.
> I am giving credit.

No, you aren't. "Still trying to get hovering grain silo versions working" is not an accurate characterization of the current state of Starship development: they had hovering in the bag months ago, and have since demonstrated much more challenging and impressive capabilities.

> I'll call it working when they've demonstrated repeated access to orbit. Until they, they are indeed playing with flying grain silo prototypes, even if they landed one belly flop maneuver.

None of this is germane to the problems with your original statement. It's just empty snark--if you want to call rockets "grain silos", I'm not going to try to stop you, though I might caution you against erasing your ability to identify actual silos full of grain.

> In any case, this is the exact sort of argument I find entirely wasteful of energy, and a distraction from what we should be talking about in this thread, which is JWT.

I'm just here to correct the record, which I think is reasonable as there's a lot of weird SpaceX misinformation out there, both "for" and "against". Personally I don't understand why people can't just sit back and watch what happens, without putting their own spin on it.
I've worked as a quant/dev in finance for nearly two decades now, and I've been fortunate enough to touch every major asset class on multiple time scales.

You have to start with the fundamentals, on two abstraction layers. The two layers are the financial abstractions (instruments, entities, ecologies) and technical ones (programs, networks, databases).

Since you're asking about the markets, let's leave the technical ones for now. They're a whole universe in themselves.

The fundamentals of instruments are things like the time value of money and optionality. Read Hull and Willmot, and maybe Natenberg. Whether you're a Venetian banker during the Renaissance or staking the newest, fanciest cryptocurrency, these books will illuminate how the instruments work. They are technical books, not so narrative as much as math. But from a few building blocks you will be able to understand how all sorts of things work, eg convertible bonds, rights issues, dividends (this is a surprisingly insanely deep rabbit hole), interest rate swaps, mortgages, ETFs, employee option grants, stablecoins.

The narrative perspective is absolute useful too. It's more reading per nugget, but Reminiscences is one of those things that shows you how regardless of how thing are done technologically (boys running around vs computers) there's a way the ecology works with the participants' incentives. There's also the stock market wizards books, interviews with mostly macro traders IIRC. Ed Thorpe's memoirs are pretty good at tying a certain kind of mathematical thinking to the markets. The Renaissance Technologies book that recently came out is excellent too. Poker Face of Wall Street, another one of those about connections between games and markets.

This would provide a grounding in being able to understand the kind of stuff Matt Levine writes, he writes good stuff but it's so diverse that without a foundation it just feels like a whole bunch of different things.

Tainting the whole call is major problem in .NET code.

That is why you will find out lots of code bases full of Task.Run() and direct calls to .Result, instead of using async/await operators.

Having worked with both platform since their yearly days, I am not sure which design is actually the best one, considering brown field development.
The pseudo formal notation says “look but don’t touch” when an actual example of the advertisement or message would clarify things. Additionally, providing context on BGP with respect to other routing protocols would be useful
Before social media was a thing, South Koreans had popular online games in the 1990s like Nexus and Lineage that they would play both as games and to socialize. While social media is becoming a big deal in SK as well, a lot of people still prefer to socialize via gaming.
For a long time it was very easy to advertise cameras by the number of megapixels, and consumers supposedly like easy to understand numbers where bigger is better. This used to be kind of true back in the day of <6MP but raw megapixel numbers have been fairly useless for fifteen years or so.

It's a slow process moving away from this once you've drilled it into people's heads with marketing. It's just like how MHz used to be an easy and fairly reliable way to compare CPU's in the 90's and it took a really long time for the general public to understand that clock speed isn't all that matters.
You mean Chrome, since Microsoft Edge is based on that? Might as well call that a Chrome Distribution with a Microsoft UI, just like Brave, Opera, Vivaldi and other Chrome based browsers.

That pretty much confirms all my suspicions [0] as to who really has the upper 'Edge' of the web. It's really Chrome or WebKit. Firefox has no chance in competing against any of them since Chrome is where the ecosystem is (Electron, Web APIs, Latest features, etc)

Best part? Firefox is becoming irrelevant and Mozilla is kept on life support by Google as the world moves on.

Plenty of 4channers read HN, and of course they'd mass flag a story putting them in a bad light.
If you're just going to throw it in a box and get it out in case of emergency, you may as well not bother getting it in the first place.

Get your amateur license (studying for the test will help you with the basic theory and operations of the radio), but more importantly, join your local ham club, or at least participate in their monthly nets -- but it's better to join them in emergency drills and other activities.

This will give you experience on how to operate your radios under real world conditions.

Modern radios have so many features that it's easy to inadvertently turn on some setting that makes it unusable, especially if you're the "throw it in a box and get it out if I need it" type of user who doesn't understand all the features on the radio.

If you do that today you can search the web or go to a local club meeting for help. If you do it in a disaster, you may not be able to use your radio when you need it most.

The same holds true for all of your “I only need it in case of disaster” supplies. I’ve had a small tent in my earthquake kit for over a decade. Last year I figured I’d put it up to make sure it was still usable and discovered that I didn’t have the tent poles so it was pretty much useless.
Hmm, had in mind DCI which consider quite larger than UHD 4K, but yes, it's still ~ 9MP.
Arguably yes, but we need to put in the effort to make it secure instead of outright banning it.
To ease the pain in conventional differs, we use a pre-commit hook to format the source code (prettier). This way we only see differences if something _actually_ changed.
we have remote controlled robots even today for such things. still requires a human operator.
It is surprising to me that the Taliban, seemingly a fringe and unpopular group even in Afghanistan itself, are so good at clinging to power. But what do I know.

This also happened in South America.

In some cases, the local rulers (Aztecs or Incans) destroyed existing libraries to cement their hold on power, before the Conquistadors arrived.

In other cases (Mayans), the Spanish clergy burned most of the books, with a few "codices" saved:

Warm water from the shower head with not too much pressure works fine. Tilt your head so the water runs out while doing it.

Even my doctor said that’s the way to go. Might not work for absolutely everybody but it does for the majority. There is no need for fancy, expensive devices unless you get a kick out of the actual act of removing something physically from your body.
Banning martial arts was a common practice. An equally common practice has been claiming your martial art was banned and suppressed in the past, to give it legitimacy and an aura of mystery. With any given martial art, it's hard to determine whether it was actually banned or not.
Yeah, and now if something doesn't have enough to do 4k there's:

a) nothing stopping them from faking it, plenty of crappy hardware will record files in an upscaled resolution (see webcams especially for this)

b) you probably don't want a larger version of the output of that device anyways.

I mean even a 130 dollar phone has a 13 megapixel camera. https://www.amazon.com/BLU-Android-Factory-Unlocked-Display/...
It has (or at least aggressive denoising) since the 6S I still have.

If you look at the images at 1:1, they sometimes look like watercolours with regards to edges.
> YouTube, since 2010,[51] and Vimeo allow a maximum upload resolution of 4096 × 3072 pixels (12.6 megapixels, aspect ratio 4:3)

I guess it really depends on the aspect ratio you're going for.

South Africa: Jacob Zuma in prison to serve 15-month jail term
I'm not describing any equilibrium. Heat deaths and cold deaths move in opposite directions, but that does not imply that they are equal or produce any restorative force on one another that would lead back to an equilibrium state. Since death won't affect the weather, if temperatures change, both heat and cold deaths will change, with some net change in total deaths.

With more cold deaths currently than heat deaths, an increase in average temperature is more likely to reduce total deaths than increase them. If saving lives is your real goal, net lives saved/lost should be your yardstick, regardless of your opinion about the relative magnitude of heat deaths and cold deaths. But if your real agenda is something else then, sure, talking about increased heat deaths without ever mentioning reduced cold deaths might better serve your needs.
> I assume its something like numbeo. Thing is with this kind of data there is always a local and a tourist price. In many countries (especially Europe) you can not always buy a prepaid SIM card with a foreign passport (without extra hoops at least) or you need a real residence address.

In the EU there are still some countries where you can buy SIM cards without ID so you can just order one of those online and then use roaming, which does not have additional charges within the EU.
And this makes me very sad, because Firefox is the only browser that uses it's own engines (rendering and JavaScript). The rest are basically just reskinned Chromium. And heavily bloated (Looking at you Brave there, No I don't need a crypto wallet, please keep it away)

Services should not mimic the people organization, because the people organization sucks. Don't care how they're organized. No-hierarchy? Sucks. Top-down? Sucks. Balls of people with guns pointing at the other balls of people? Sucks. Two-pizza teams? How fat/skinny are the team members?

Humans are dumb, they're bad at communication, and the bigger the group, the worse both get (it's done been scienced!). Software should not mimic those qualities; and it doesn't have to! We can have really smart people design the software, and have those people tell the organization how to build it and run it in a collaborative way, regardless of how the people are organized. Organization shouldn't dictate how we work together; that's like your filing system dictating how you write letters. What we always seem to forget is that humans are pretty much the most adaptable species on the planet. Give them criteria and they will fit themselves into it, like a cat in a really uncomfortable looking container.

We should of course avoid shitty people organization because of its impact on software design (which is really just poor communication structures put into code). But we should also acknowledge that the design is only impacted by the organization because we're too lazy to reject the concept of "team X can only touch component X". And this isn't just woo-non-hierarchy, there's a simple middle ground: education. Teach your people how all the components work, teach them how to make changes, and unblock them / give them agency. They will flutter around like worker bees just knocking out problems everywhere.

It's when people don't know what's going on with the components they never touch, and don't know how to change them, that they start to make bad decisions that then have knock-on effects. The org structure doesn't have to lead to people not knowing what's going on. It doesn't have to lead to poor communication. It doesn't have to lead to controlling who can do what. We just decided that's what we'd do, probably because standing up and saying "hey, can we do this differently?" causes some kind of social pain. That and of course, the more it changes, the more education is needed. But kind of like with TPS, I think if we focus more on those "boring things" like quality and waste, everything else will be naturally elevated.
Kotlin is placing themselves into a corner by trying to go everywhere and married Android.

So for every JVM/Java feature post Java 6 that gets introduced, they will have the dilemma of how to integrate them into a way that keeps language semantics across compilation targets, having multiple solutions to the same problem (Kotlin's one and what each platform later introduced), or just expose them via KMM and leave the #ifdef burden to the community.

That is why platform languages always carry the trophy, even if they are the turtle most of the time.

I would also say it's cultural. Swedes keep a distance without you telling them, Spaniards do not.
At least you could buy a smart appliance but never give it an internet connection. It would most probably still perform its main function just fine.
I've had the opposite experience, just if we're sharing anecdotes. Went to my GP, he recommended olive oil, put a few drops in, a fat big block of earwax naturally came out of my ear just few hours later. So it definitely works(for some people).

I was homeschooled two decades ago, and I had a similar experience: some core classes were delivered via satellite (and recorded into VHS tapes), other classes were taught at a church, some were taught in other families' homes, one class was taught in a private school, I was a part of afterschool clubs, had frequent field trips, and did a lot of self directed learning. The freedom for self directed learning was probably the number one benefit I got out of being "home"-schooled.

Even during the megapixels wars, Fuji released some great point and shoot cameras that had less megapixels but better image quality due to having a bigger sensor.

For example, the f31d was great in its time and showed that megapixels weren't the only measure to look for.

It's not easy to qualitatively represent your fancy HDR algorithms and focus finding, especially in the realm of phones where there are fewer standard terms to play with (even something as simple as OIS means nothing to 99% of buyers)

That's why you see a focus on showing off the end results now, like Apple's rebooted "Shot on iPhone" campaign or Samsung's current photo competition restricted to photos taken with a Galaxy S21
That’s a great channel, thanks for the recommendation. It speaks to their reputation that they got a one-on-one interview with Elon Musk.
I've never personally seen that resolution used, nor called "4K". If you're going to lump together a resolution with 50% more pixels under the same umbrella term then IMO "4K" is meaningless and we need more granular terminology.
My app server has had non-blocking IO on regular OS threads for 10 years. To hide things in "virtual threads" does not do you any favours in the long run because it just adds complexity; you need to understand things as close to the metal as possible to make it work as good as it can work: http://github.com/tinspin/rupy

To not use async. is really bad, you are wasting so much CPU. Even in a async. scenario just copying memory from user space to kernel and back takes 30% of the CPU at full 100% utilization, imagine having all those context switches too!
The iPhone 12 Pro models seems to have had a software issue[1] that resulted in poor focusing — this was fixed later. A workaround at the time was using a different camera app, eg the link recommends ProCam but I suspect any RAW capture app would do.

If it’s taking blurry photos still, it probably is defective and needs to be returned.

You could as well be wary of the possibility of misinterpretation of your own actual actions, which is consistent with the fear of a dim non-intelligence mixing up your data and others' data.

The same dim non-intelligence, that one spawn of which seems e.g. to think that since you bought a car last month you should be proposed more cars, that dim non-intelligence may decide that since you watched videos of author Tom you subscribe to the ideas of Tom, that if you read the G. you are a junkie and if you read the S. you believe senator Beast has dignity, that if you... I was about to write "if you are studying material about new vaccines before booking inoculation then you must be a vaccine opposer, believing in witchcraft, credulous of any voice, a conspiracy theorist and an irresponsible sociopath": no, this actually I witnessed in real life, acted by adult professionals. So you figure the profiling a dumb algorithm can do.

"The new prejudice factory" may be out of lack of wits, it may be out of "economizing" - like when the order to kill all intellectuals was specified by "you will recognize them: they are those who wear glasses". To some it is not worth their while to discriminate.

One would normally go baesyan to formulate some hypothesis _with the single intent to put them into discussion under the filter of intelligence_, never to take them as plausible. Once.

It is a world increasing in complexity within societies which are abandoning the sense of complexity.
Ask HN: What motorcycle do you ride?
Why do/don't you ride a motorcycle, and which model?

I love the freedom and direct feeling of being transported through the landscape, I ride a 1986 Suzuki GSXR/750 and a 1981 Honda cb750f.
The Suzuki is one of the first "superbikes" and rides very aggressively and fast, very fun ride.

The Honda is one of the first models of the "Universal Japanese Motorcycle" and is very comfortable and pleasant for a ride around the countryside.
Thank you, I can be wrong obviously, but your argument in light of our current times would actually indicate that a lot of smart informed people are more tending to idiotic brainless emanations than anything else.

This is of course unrelated to tailwind and the words I used there were pretty uncharitable - it's open source after all - but I have yet to see a good example of it clicking, the way I've seen it, in my assumedly small real use sample pool, doesn't seem good at all.
To others who might be curious, the iPhone 12 now supports raw photo mode. Older models do not natively have this.

No country is a closed system. We see now that a previous immune response is better than nothing against the Delta variant. I'm wondering what will happen to the island nations that kept the virus at bay while not having a high vaccination rate, won't they have many more deaths now with the more infectious and more deadly version that other countries that "let it rip" like Sweden have at least partial widespread immunity to?
What happened to sidecars?
Yeah, in the Czech Republic (or especially the former Czechoslovakia), part of the main D1 highway (Prague-Brno) is designed as an alternate airfield.

I work in a very large enterprise that could definitely benefit from such a product, but at that cost I'm not even going to try mentioning it, it's never going to pass.

We have engineers in the thousands so that would be a budget in the millions per year, for a tool for which it's hard to demonstrate the productivity benefit over alternatives. Not going to happen.

It's not that the company can't afford it, but enterprises are strict when it comes to spending money. There are lots of processes, checks, and people that sign off.
