I have considered just scraping/grabbing all the countries, planets, stars and maybe notable pre-modern people, and leaving him to gradually work through those for a bit.
There's not much of an alternative if you live 100 miles from the airport. Even if you could find an Uber the cost would exceed the parking fee.
The problem with hydrogen fuel is mainly one of supply. Even if they built hydrogen stations every 4 blocks across the whole world, the technology necessary to generate enough hydrogen to run even 5% of all the cars simply doesn't exist yet. We've had advance in the field of splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen, but it still takes more electricity to do than you get from using the resulting fuel can generate.

Other sources of Hydrogen simply can't keep up with power generation or transportation needs.
Everyone is discussing the technical issues - I hate that I can't test my web app on Safari without either buying an apple machine of some variety or using an online service.
Hollywood hasn't had centralization in content creation for a long time. To the contrary, this past decade has been all about streaming service studios and indie content creators, while Hollywood continues remaking the same handful of scripts and plots over, and creating sequels and modernizations of old films.

as Ricky Gervais said in his infamous Golden Globes speech, "This show should just be me coming out going "Well Done, Netflix, you win everything. Well done."
The article doesn't say. In the mini-animation of when the fault occurred, after the momentary blank, you can see the bat does actually get partially concealed by something associated with the ALF sprite; it's possible that that counts as a collision. That would seem to indicate three possibilities:

1. The top of the ALF sprite is wider than it looks and has some non-transparent black in it.

2. There's another (non-transparent black) sprite there that's colliding.

3. There's a sprite multiplexing limitation that somehow counts as a collision.
They have been in the smartphone game for a few years now. What made you think they weren't?
My main problem is that many new features seem to leak more and more data. Encryption support is always "will be added later". For example if you want to send a sticker or any inline image you need to upload it to the server in plaintext. Topics and profiles are unencrypted even in "encrypted rooms". Matrix is a pain-text protocol with a couple of encrypted extensions on top. Even worse is that most clients will happily let you use these leaky features in encrypted rooms with no warnings.

I love Matrix, it is actually my primary chat network. But the way these features are getting added makes me really disappointed. You don't make a secure protocol by stuffing as many features as you can then adding encryption later. You build a secure protocol by making sure that every feature added is secure from the start, otherwise it is rejected or needs to explicitly justify why it can't or shouldn't be made secure.
Historically, there were (and to some degree are) a ton of physical magazines and sometimes newsletters catering to sometimes very niche content. I subscribed to a folding kayak newsletter at one point as well as various cooking/backpacking/etc. magazines.

But Substack content seems to be much more about "voices" as you put it and that I'm far less interested in.
Thanks for your kind words and support. the shame and guilt associated with this makes it very traumatic for some people.
I would argue that FB is actually a mobile app with a desktop site available as a checkbox that was reduced to being just a copy of the app in React. It didn't really explode until after the iPhone and like 85% of their users are on mobile Apps.

That said, an app for learning as an example should actually have a very different mobile experience as a user wont want hour-long study sessions on the subway (or in line at a subway restaurant.)
You beat me to mentioning Death Lends a Hand.

Measuring code complexity and writing self-documented code
It occurs that developers recently got a chance to automatically measure code complexity (not by using cyclomatic complexity metrics), stop arguing whether code is readable and maintainable or not, and start refactoring code in clear dialog with the management. At the same time, this tool is not widely recognized, and I just want to fix that by sharing details in an article!

I live in a place where sex isn’t taboo (paid or not), there are social clubs although I am not sure what the connection is there, and we still have pornography technology that sometimes people get compulsive about. Before this, I lived a rural lifestyle and there was also access to porn there.

This app also doesn’t seem to work as an intervention, it is something the person themselves chooses to use or not.
That's an interesting proposal.

A similar argument could be made for why it is important to have both engineers and non-engineers involved in the creation of products.
I'm guessing if you are Amazon's size, you are thinking about doing (whatever FB's bundle of goods crypto was called) and doing it right. And skimming a percentage.

That is, a more centralized crypto that Amazon controls. Or at least one that has a known and stable conversion rate set by some entity (which could be Amazon) to other goods.
I disagree. I personally think it would be less of an issue if it wasn't treated as such a taboo topic. Particularly in America, many people get far too worked up (IMO) about basic issues of sexuality or displays of anything mildly erotic in mainstream media.

Also, FWIW, I do not see any of these Netflix show recommendations with significant sexual undertones. Then again, we also do not watch any of the fake reality TV, "dating" shows, or other drama-based programming.
We test drove a Mach-e and a model y within days of each other. They Mach-e has a far better interior, performance is a toss-up. Unless you truly believe that Tesla is going to deliver on FSD (which I’m skeptical of) I’m not sure how you could claim they have an unassailable lead.
not just imagery, but high definition videos that mimic reality with VR headsets etc.
Concept cars are not a new thing. Nor are they something that just "EVcompanies" do. The reason they do it pre-exists the modern electric vehicle. I remember seeing concept cars (from Chrysler?) at the Mall of America decades ago. And concept cars from all sorts of companies at the Detroit Auto Show.

Some of the things they announced about some of those cars eventually made it into production cars. Many of them were never anything but a concept in a concept car, both of which never saw the light of day.
I have mad respect for anyone who is willing to take the risk of not being able to eat, on the hopes that strangers will support them, in order to do what they love.
Yes, the whole world is mad this way :)

With years of good experience and presuming that you remain interested in and focused on managing your development time, you will develop an intuitive sense of how complex projects are based on minimal information. Telepathy is how it appears, but it's really just your brain being trained to identify problems and possibilities before you're even fully aware of them.

I like to use playing in a band as an analogy for this. As you play with the same musicians over the course of months or years, especially within the framework of a band playing a specific genre of music, you absolutely do develop a sense of what everyone is doing before they actually do it. In terms of a band, you're learning to read all sorts of physical and audio cues, from subtle body movements to hearing how a specific note or pattern is being played differently. In addition, you know the songs you're playing well enough to adapt them on the fly using cues from your bandmates - from the simplicity of the singer yelling "one more time" after a good chorus, to playing the last verse more forcefully because the bassist is playing closer to the bridge for whatever reason. With time, you learn to translate these telepathy skills to a more generalized template, and can apply them to songs you know less well, or with musicians you have less familiarity with. Some examples would be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6i0a7RDPkM8 (everyone knew the structure of the song, but probably learned it earlier that same day) and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3c6BTN05Pc (reading each other and passing the "solo" ball back and forth).

So rest assured that as time passes and you are paying close attention, you will develop the telepathy necessary to predict changes and roll with them :)
Very fun article. I do think there is another way that is very much The Long Game but may offer the highest payoff / security in the long run:

* become very good at a highly gamedev-relevant and marketable skill (e.g. graphics programming)

* parlay skill into well-paying job that uses and further hones that skill

* as you work the job and save/invest aggressively, start building games on the side using the skills you've developed

* after 5-15 years, if you still want to make indie games, you'll have enough money to do it full time without needing outside funding, plus a vast amount of relevant skill and experience to help you succeed

Con: takes forever, to the point where you might die before you get to finish a game

Pros: you are not truly fucked if you fail at indie gamedev / realize you don't want to do it anymore; if you manage to carry out the full plan, you can make exactly what you want, since you won't need your games to make money

This is the route I'm taking - I'll update with my progress in 5 years or so
Other way around. Real actors' likenesses won't be used as often.

That's a good thing. More actors can now work.
First let's agree on word terms. There is nothing to 'digitize' MiniDV is already digital. It's literally the first word in the technology. So now we are talking about transferring data from tape to local HD storage, in MPEG2-TS format where we can further transcode it to a newer format.
Am I a Psychopath? [audio]
Didn't find much about the reason while flying over the text, only that they didn't get informed of the impending seizure. Maybe they never got to know it. Will read the blog later in more detail.

Thank you for posting. I think all things considered, Windscribe handled it pretty well and are quite transparent.
Safari regularly breaks features that were stable for years: localstorage and indexedDB the most recent ones. So I am not sure how you can talk about "compatibility".
And it will cost $250k so for most people it will never be a real car.
It's really hard to observe a market from a distance. It's a bit like how Beyond Meat snuck up on all of North America between two visits to my home town.

But yes, there are lots of options in Europe. Tesla is just one of them, nothing special.
Also, the psychology of most people's internet browsing is that of a casual, enjoyable activity undertaken to escape from whatever else they're doing, with only a few moments spent reading a typical article.

Insert a purchase decision into that flowful sesh (even for as little as a penny) and most will find it more relaxing to just instead go and click on one of the many free articles at their disposal being served up by free aggregators (like this one).

These debates always pop up here with little awareness that the newspaper industry tried micropayments 20 years ago and it didn't work. Paywalls were discovered in 2011 or so, they worked, and that's pretty much been that.

> How do people connect to matrix?

Unfortunately, I don't, yet. Still waiting on a decent TUI. I had my hopes up for weechat-matrix-rs[1] but it hasn't seen a commit in two months so I guess it's dead. And so I remain on IRC.

This reminds me of Bojack Horseman plot-line where they scanned every actor on set in case they die so they can recreate them in virtual for the movie.
I think depriving users of that functionality is more than worth it if it also deprives the advertising industry of yet another way to make everyone's life worse.
They could use ring signatures (like what Monero and other do), where the signature only validated that it came from one of several possible private keys.
true, they do have a good blocking system. i have tried their products.
> Sinophobia is the new Islamophobia

A phobia is an extreme irrational fear. There's nothing extreme nor irrational about being wary of a country that is A) Increasingly powerful, B) treats its own citizens extremely badly, e.g. the Uighurs, Tibet, etc., and C) very likely covered up the spread of COVID in the early stages in an effort to save face.

If they treat their own citizens like enemies, it's only natural to worry about how they'll treat their rivals.

And no, this in not a defense of U.S. policy, foreign or domestic -- it's to point out that a legitimate concern or criticism of another country should not be slapped with a knee-jerk "phobic" label. Western countries do not have a monopoly on bad behavior and no one should be above criticism.
I really, really enjoyed the writing style. It made me smile, it made me laugh and it also showed potential way of making money for artists/indies on the net.

For me it also showed how the net created new gatekeepers (be it app stores, patreon, kickstarter or any other platform) that feel like the new lords while creators still are but the serfs (albeit with a little bit more freedom to choose ones lord).
Well, the bundle is GPL, the particular code is still MPL, so that you can still take that portion away from the bundle and do anything that the MPL allows.
'digitize'? we called it ripping. Not even Boomers used the term digitize.
Even if you were able to collect 100% of the insolation hitting the car it's still a fraction of the power in a battery pack. Unfortunately the car won't be at the optimal angle and in full sun most of the time either so it'll still be at best 10 or so miles a day probably and even that requires way better cells than we have now. There's not really a way around the need to charge from a larger power source, at best there's the option to charge from your home solar.

It makes zero sense for most small-to-medium companies to make any kind of end user-facing app, period (whether native or a webapp). Most small businesses' needs don't call for a content pipeline substantially more complicated than a word processor, with some of them needing to be able to handle a simple form every now and then. Even in the case of online sales, does every business in the world really need a bespoke storefront?

How about people publish their catalog, and then, like, 3 or 4 interoperable "shopper" apps (with preferably at least one developed in the open) can emerge to do the heavy lifting? The way it works now, where Amazon and O'Reilly and AutoZone all have to hire for developers mirrors the ridiculousness of the streaming media platforms, where just because Amazon or Disney+ or whoever has the content and Netflix doesn't, people act as if it makes complete sense that we should have to enter their dumb app and use that provider's shitty title browser and video player, instead of the user picking the app that works the way they want and using it to play from whichever catalog has the content they need.
I'm working on https://vo.codes

The new version is almost ready to launch.

I've also got voice to voice conversion working, and I'm trying to make it real time. It's pretty close.
100% this is why the example looks so bad.

Here's another example from the same channel with a live actor (Robert Pattison as Batman):

A careful examination will find all sorts of artifacts but an unprimed general populace wouldn't have any clue.
But it's the same. I think that the fact that people are so scared of deep fakes show they are not critical enough of what they are already shown. Images lie all the time.

Get an accountant.

C-corps are not for amateurs.

They are not do it yourself.

It is less common now, but AskHN's about large tax bills from Delaware used to be a fairly regular feature.

All that before considering all the footgun potential in having a founder in Europe with a separate entity.

If you can't afford an accountant, you don't really have a business.
Sure, we could resolve this problem by either a) giving these languages a separate fitting string type to use internally or externally (Rust for instance can use 'string' everywhere) or b) integrating their semantics into the single one so they are covered as well as first-class citizens. And coincidentally, that would fit JavaScript perfectly, which is rather surprising being off the table in a Web standard. Yet we are polling on having a "single" "list-of-USV" string type, likely closing the door for them forever with everything it implies.
I agree that bel is a weird unit. To be fair, it's not "in" SI, but just "accepted for use with". I'd also argue that candela and mole are weird for other reasons, and they're SI for real.

I downvoted you (I'm not an employee or affiliated with Matrix in any way except that I selfhost Synapse because it's cool) because you've veered off the good faith criticism path into paranoia and what looks like a personal vendetta, which I can't understand what for.

Yes, I'd searched for a modern, offline equivalent of Encarta but couldn't find anything. When he was a toddler, I'd looked for simple games for the same computer and found virtually nothing for a Mac. Mac gaming used to be especially tragic and younger gaming options were even worse. Fast forward and we have five iPads and an Apple Arcade account.
Not so fast.

If they allow that with USD et al, they're more liable in more "currently on the books" ways than if they started letting people send Ama-coin across the globe.

P.S., my own critique on Safari: the tight tie-in into the OS.

Nowadays, as computers are often longer in use as they are in the support/update cycle, it would be really nice to be able to update Safari beyond the OS level. I get it that Safari is basically running the OS web-view framework and that there are serious issues with this (edit: meaning, updating a single framework out of sync with the rest of the OS), but you should be able to update Safari as a stand-alone application, even, if this means that it's practically running in virtualization using it's own framework overlays.
They don't. They can fork the "apache v2" version and start adding non apache v2 code given they are the primary contributor. If they own the trademark, they can call the new forked version "matrix".

What non having copy right assignment means is that they can't change the license of existing stuff. But they can change the license of future stuff using existing apache v2 licensed code which is permitted.
And "The Congress" movie
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Congress_(2013_film)

This is neat, we did something a couple of years ago like this (but much cruder) by training off of Stack Overflow question and answer data. Actually we were trying to make a rubber ducky debugging chatbot but we didn't clean our inputs and it started spitting out code blocks when we asked it English questions.

With all the fuss over Autopilot have you considered the inverse problem? I trust myself to write code but often in an unfamiliar codebase I spend the majority of the time reading and deciphering what code does. Does the inverse work very well with your training set? I'd love to highlight code on the screen and get an English approximation of what it does. That's a truly useful helper.
Isn't that what Apple's iOS notifications already do?

What's the justification for allowing it for a certain class of apps, but disallowing it for another class of apps, where the difference between the 2 categories of apps are just the technical infrastructure on which they are based?

Every year it blows my mind that I probably spend >24 hours of my life trying to get medical bills covered by insurance that I pay >$12,000 a year for. I wouldn't accept that type of service from something I pay $1,000 a year for... but we're stuck with it.

It's absurd that healthcare is a debate in the US. The productivity loss alone from managing health insurance must be astronomical. I also have to waste my doctor's time and their office's billing department.

I also have to pay my mental health therapist out of pocket because I had a long-standing relationship and they "retired" from accepting insurance and the plethora of paperwork, problems, and diagnosis requirements they have to put up with as a provider (fortunately they met me halfway, I couldn't afford it as a new client).
The important thing is many people WANT to reduce their consumption of this stuff but have difficulty doing so. It's a perfectly valid endeavor to provide tools or interventions that help them to do this. Not every therapeutic tool has to be backed by hard "research".

There are definitely various forms of internet addiction which are growing rapidly and it appears traditional psychiatry hasn't been able to keep up. A community-based approach to address this problem for folks with common goals seems like a good idea. I don't know how I feel about this as a YC "start-up" but there's nothing wrong with the concept which at least tries to solve a real problem.
The link to your generic-c github project is broken.
Don't know where you're getting those figures from. A cheap little Renault Zoe will do ~200 miles. The VW ID.4 has similar range. A Nissan Leaf will do ~150 real world miles.

I can't think of any modern EV that does less that ~150 real world miles on single charge. Except for those go-karts like the Renault Twizy, but that isn't a car.
