I’ve noticed that software more and more being designed that way. Multi-tenancy is out the window, just run multiple instances. For some applications it’s certainly easier, but as with so many other things it’s overused.
The article doesn’t even mention UK broadcast television content – it’s more about big-shared-screens vs small-personal-screens.

And the author is an American, resident in New York afaict. Even though the Guardian is a UK-based paper, not all it’s content is not exclusively UK-focused.

Yeah, we'll have it all for EdgeDB too.
The first two audio clips in the article are the same text with different intentionality, so they have the 'intent' setting figured out already.
The thing is, tablets and phones are interactive, TVs normally are not.

There are fantastic apps for learning on a tablet (reading, writing, counting, simple calculations, reading the clock, etc.) The kids love it to spend some tablet time and they benefit from it. And even if they just toy around in these virtual worlds (Tokka), it's much more creative than just watching the next episode of my little pony.

On the other hand, tv shows, like aforementioned, my little pony, gives them excursions into dramatic topics: friendship, betrayal, pride, ... Even the most trivial cartoon will have some form of story telling and I think kids need story telling that they choosen freely.
It occurs to me that 60 Hz is the household AC frequency commonly used in the US, while Europe uses 50 Hz.
You would be surprised at what you can learn from Minecraft. At age 6 my children knew that you made glass from sand, something I was not aware of until I was probably 10 years old. Even if it teaches them something incorrectly it gets them asking questions about how you would do that thing in the real world.
We better use the comment section before the article gets flagged into oblivion.

I feel it's an important piece. The author argues we had a period of freedom of expression that started in the sixties and is now coming to an end. I never thought about it this way, seeing our world rather evolving than involving, and yet, it's hard not to see certain negative phenomena, with some of them becoming very disturbing. One aspect is that they're massive, i.e. there is a crowd of people very emotional and radical about them, and second, this crowd holds real power that is totally unregulated. These emotions and ideas are more or less in line with the current establishment, including the media and major companies, with everybody being afraid to call them out.

I'd say the majority of the society might end up in a tight spot. I mean, people are sympathizing with the causes, may have similar emotions, but then comes a moment when you realize things went too far. So what do you do then? You try to rationalize. Instead of saying some people go too far, you say they're "mostly peaceful", to use one of the many examples. But history is teaching us situations like these are like traps: the more you go in this direction, the more difficult will be to get out, should you wish so. So I think that - unfortunately - the author might be right.
Honestly, my worst days in my life have been during boreout. I still remember 2019 being the worst year in my life because of this and 2020 wasn't as bad but the lockdown didn't let me recover. It's 2021 and everything is all right.

Hey CEO, post some benchmarks vs Nvidia.
Yeah I think this is a thing of the old days, my father in law is also always on top of light usage. Once I calculated what a 3W led cost him if he let it run the whole year (about 6€) to forget it once in a while is really no reason to get cranky. Leaving a couple of 60W incandescent bulbs on for longer periods can increase a bill indeed, but with leds it’s really not worth being know as the guy that whines about the lights for, IMO.

Indeed - if having such a facility requires me to setup a container per top-level domain (e.g. one container for www.xyzbank.com and everything that it opens), then even that is worth it. Right now, with the combination of ublock origin and other privacy plugins, I don't even try to do financial transactions like banking/flight booking etc for the fear of being left with a semi-processed transaction. That is one of the main reasons of me installing Chrome (I know that Chromium might also be a good alternative for such scenarios).

I guess what I'm looking for is a "allow everything" container setup without having to enable/disable plugins or fiddle with white/blacklists.
If you can acquire hydrogen economically, it can be converted to ammonia cheaply.

For many industrial processes, ammonia is a well-established common feedstock, having none of the issues of hydrogen you mention.

Here in Japan, some Combined Cycle Gas Turbine plants are already running with 10% ammonia blend.

I think you are right about pure hydrogen, but I can see green-hydrogen-into-ammonia as viable for many applications including heavy transportation (train, ship, truck).

We just need much more economic electrolysis, because hydrogen is almost always produced from fossil fuels today.
I second this. I have an LLC that I have some apps and other stuff under (much cheaper state).
TV is th most passive medium, you can turn it on and let it fill your time with whatever someone else decides to show you, including adverts. Gaming is usually a conscious choice about how to spend your time and requires input and decisions from the player, the same is not true of TV. At least Netflix/prime etc require you to make a decision about what to watch.

Have you tried donating to OSS through Github Sponsors? They act like a middleman (similar to Patreon), but take no fees (the also eat the CC processing fee), so the full amount being donated goes to the project.

This gets rid of the problem with multiple micro-payments, because all of your recurring donations are charged in bulk, once per billing cycle (monthly/yearly).

That said, not every project is on Github or has Github Sponsors feature enabled, but anecdotally the number seems to be growing over time.

It doesn't use the builtin ONVIF motion detection but instead processes every keyframe and does motion detection between the keyframes. So not every frame is being decoded to process, but enough to perform motion capture.

There's some interesting work w.r.t motion detection that doesn't actually require decoding the packets but rather looks at the motion vectors to estimate motion. That would save up a lot of resources..

I find this statement humorous because I've said much the same thing about Linux Desktop GUIs in general. "It's like they were made by someone who's only ever had a GUI described to them in an email". Compared to a system like the original Macintosh or RiscOS that thought hard about how to abstract things for a graphical display and a mouse, or even Windows that just copied as much of that as they could get away with, it's really quite terrible.

The Cryptocurrency Movement Is Destroying Itself
My colleague got her first vaccine in January as she was considered immunocompromised but days after she had swollen ankles, lymph nodes, some brain fog, and a bunch of symptoms. They’ve run tests on her such as cancer and other illnesses and has not been able to find anything. She also got her second shot after but 6 months later since the initial, she’s now questioning whether it’s the vaccines it was the only thing that was different for her day to day and doctors haven’t been able to find anything else.

My mom’s friend had 2 doses as well but with the 2nd dose she’s gone deaf in one ear. Same thing, doctors are running a lot of tests on her to determine if it’s something else, but it’s been months as well and no findings yet.

And then a good friend of mine, doctor at a local hospital, got his 2 doses way back and his alopecia came back (though he had cancer 15 years ago and had beat it) so the vaccine may have triggered it back.

These are some first hand cases I know with people that have symptoms post vaccination. Long covid sucks but I don’t think we can discredit the fact that there may be ‘long covid shots’ too.

I think we all need to look at our own risk profile and determine the risk of firstly getting it, recovering from it and then should long covid happen, how to manage it. I really like how Dr. John Campbell puts it here https://youtu.be/ReDzaHoNwi0 (starts 19:54). Though if your kids at vulnerable then that’s a different story.

She tried to fire him before the investigation was even done, investigations based on two complaints, one of which was already rejected at that point.

As much as I like hear work, I really do not understand what happened there and why she would do what she did there, like she did it.

Her expertise and what the PP stands for are as relevant as ever, and its getting more relevant each day. Why would she just throw all that away for herself, but alongside that try to sabotage a whole political movement?
Very, very impressive. I just spent the last hour going down the rabbit hole of reading your blog and browsing through your different side projects (which I can only recommend to fellow HN readers, the programming language posted here really is just the tip of the iceberg). Creating your own programming language is remarkable in its own right, but then using it to build your own frontend & backend frameworks, search engine, productivity suite, 3D renderer and a bunch of other apps ist just impressive on another level.

What I find most fascinating about your side projects is how you bring together a number of different skills in a way that looks almost effortless. Knocking out a search engine or a twitter reader as a throwaway learning project is one thing, but doing it over the course of little more than a week with a well designed UI in a way that ends up being useful in your own workflows? That not only takes some serious work but also the ability to correctly judge which directions not to go in, which can be one of the hardest aspects of developing software.
"The best that can be said is that New Shepard may have given Blue Origin's engineers some experience which may have helped them towards developing New Glenn. On the other hand, maybe New Shepard has been a distraction which has held back progress on New Glenn."

This best is actually pretty good. We need several competing space corporations and learning by doing is what young space engineers need.

Plus, a lot of the technology developed for NS and SST is likely to be reused in other applications.

"What SpaceX is doing is completely different. Starship is giving us a whole new level of capability in terms of going to space compared to what we've had before."

SpaceX absolutely has better results. Which actually is a great comeback to the "money buys everything" trope that circulates on HN or reddit so much. Compared to Bezos, Musk was a wannabe also-millionaire back in 2002.

TBH I don't really understand why Blue Origin is so slow. Too much micromanagement? Bezos is famous for being an obnoxious micromanager, but maybe that works in retail and does not work in research.

There's some interesting prospectives if you just search for 'psychedelics alzheimers'. Not a lot of direct research unfortunately, due to legality/stigma (which fortunately is ameliorating in recent years).

However, it's reasonable to believe it can help. Dosing of LSD/psilocybin (in rats) in moderation has shown to increase synaptogenesis, prospective and retrospective learning, BDNF expression (in some regions), and other related effects.

The currently most scientifically supported benefits revolve around anxiety and depression. Psychedelics have a robust effect against stress, anxiety, depression, and related neuroses. We know these neuroses have detrimental effects on cognition and life quality. Lowering stress levels in aging folks is likely neurobeneficial in general.

> I agree. I wish capitalists didn't call people who make a copy of things, pirates.

If you do agree, it’s not with anything I wrote.

Do you also wish the same of socialists by the way? Because plenty of socialist governments have been responsible for strong copyright laws also.

The problem is that I don’t identify with your tribe - the anti-capitalists - even though I don’t identify with capitalists either. There are aspects of both capitalism and socialism I agree with.

My point was that, if your argument is based on tribal allegiance, then it’s pretty pointless in terms of provoking engagement or advancement of understanding.

I get it; for many people, identity badges are important - while for me that only applies in my limited interest in sport. For politics or economics, I prefer arguments made based on rationality - I guess I’m pre-postmodern that way.
All that you said just confirms they don’t need or use users data. Closed, yes, but I feel safer this way, I’m a consumer, not developer.
> prevents people from reading content after a few times without either paying or logging in is beyond me.

I don't think this is fair or accurate.

Authors are choosing to put their articles behind Medium's paywall because they want to get paid. So when you see a paywall that's the author's choice. It's not any different than a Substack newsletter other than scale. So to say Medium is preventing people from reading... it's really that Medium is home for a lot of writers who want to get paid for their work and probably wouldn't even have written the piece you are trying to read without that incentive.

Then this Skymall article isn't even behind the paywall and doesn't have any sort of block on it or login wall. Or am I seeing something different than you? I tested it while not logged in.

FWIW, there is a ton of great writing on Medium even if there is also a lot of trash. For example, I helped port the full back catalog of books from The Pragmatic Programmers over to Medium. Those are great and it's great to have easy access to all of them.
