"Been done before" is a pointless criticism. Yes, "blogging" reduced to a bare bones definition, has been invented and reinvented since before it was a term. That means very little though. It's subtleties, norms and culture that make these mediums what they are.

If Patreon, twitch, only fans and now youtube can support a direct-to-creator subscription culture, why not journalism?

In any case, the economic woes of journalism transcend medium and specific formulations of a business model. Whether the incentive is eyeballs for advertising, an enthusiastic core for patronage or whatnot... it seems to always be at odds with journalism's financially independent mission.

100 articles commenting on the commentary or covering the coverage are the same amount of work as one, important, investigative piece. If that work is genuinely important, the information will be republished hundreds of times, and that's how most people will consume it. That's where money will go, whether through subscriptions, patronage or advertising. I don't think there is a way of having good incentives in the news business. Hard journalism is always subsidized some way, whether that's government subsidies or cross subsidies.

Substack is, I think, a decent place for "independent voices." Individuals respected within a clique, commenting and highlighting issues of the day. It's probably not going to fund investigative journalism, and neither is any straightforward model. Public information is a public good. It's hard to get around that.

The German version introduced gendered language. I really think that users liking that are well contained with iOS.
The same process works with Digital8, Sony's attempt at finding a way to squeeze some more life out of their Video8 format by fusing the digital components of DV with the mechanics of Video8.
They certainly started off that way but modern static analysis can catch a lot. Plus these other languages (yes, including Rust) are all still at least partly implemented in C/C++ so you cant outright ban it.

As for now, the development is paused. Currently the only way to "sync" is to export the database on one device, and import it on another.

We're looking for ways of implementing a proper sync though. Synching is not an easy problem, especially between different platforms. For example, Obsidian, who recently released a mobile app, states that "Currently, there is no known support for the following sync services on iOS yet: Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Syncthing" (https://help.obsidian.md/Obsidian/iOS+app). iCloud Drive seems to be a viable option, but I'm not sure it will work on Android.
And when they did not had contraception and when kids started to work fairly soon. Even without contraception, in war time, famine, etc, people tend to have less kids.
Toyota ruined the whole idea of "hybrid" with their early parallel hybrid (Prius) that could not charge the batteries using wall power, only charge by the ICE. In the beginning I thought it was just a first step, but they never went further, even when Tesla came along. I find this waste of early success extremely disappointing and sad.
i don't they were attacking doctors or medical professionals, it was more of a statement to always get a second opinion because the first one could have been an incorrect one. there are shades here, we can do both, listen to our doctors and get a second opinion when it comes to more serious matters, people should honestly be doing that with any major issue or decision they are facing in life.

Is that an opinion or do you have insider knowledge?

This is the best answer. Web devs blindly following edgy Chrome trends which are nothing more than a way to slow down Apple's revenue (which is fair game).

App Store revenue was over $70B last year, with a 20% increase every year. Let me put it into words for you: seventy billion dollars. This is more than the total revenue of Intel, HP, Walt Disney, Unilever, FedEx or Pfizer, from the App Store alone. Most of that revenue comes from iOS apps. There is no way Apple would implement every new web standards mandated by its main competitor just to lose some of that revenue. Web devs should stop whining and come back to earth.
> 1) Element or other matrix components do not require a copy right transfer. That means Element is hard to re-license under another license than its current one.

That helps a lot with future-proofing the openness of an open-source project [1], and it's a critical detail often overlooked, mainly because it's a technicality of copyright licensing and most people understandably just want to know if something is open-source or not, without getting into the details.

The simplistic gist of it (not getting into differences between Licenses) is that if you contribute to an open source project that requires copyright assignments, then its only promise is that current versions of the code will remain with the same (open-source) license. Future versions might as well become proprietary while benefiting from your code. So depending on your willingness to accept that, it's an important factor to consider. Sometimes you just don't care, then all right just go ahead. Other times you might have a stronger position on this, then step back and think about it.

On the other hand if you contribute to a project that won't ask you for any copyright assignment, then your contribution is yours, its license cannot change in the future without asking for your explicit permission (or dropping your code altogether). This is, if your contribution was a significant enough work; I don't know where the line is drawn legally, but I know (from reading here in HN) that trivial enough contributions might not need permission to be relicensed.

[1]: On the other hand, it might hinder the ability to commercialize it, which might end up meaning that there are no devs pouring serious work into it, which in turn might end up meaning there is no project at all :-) "pick your poison", I guess.
Web apps can now be written in WASM, which is just as performant as any "native" app. I for one am porting my native app to the web using this technology and find it is some times even faster than native java/objective c (ironic)
At least they name it Intel 7, Intel 4, ... And don't add missleading 'nm' to their names. Imho much better as what the other ones are doing.
Me and your mother might have many things in common but I doubt that the reasons of calling it "Website installation" is one of them.

I would say that if you were familiar with the web technologies you would have seen the parallels.

When you type an address of a website or click on a link your browser would download the website data from a server, which is very similar to what happens when you tap "Install".

Once your website data is downloaded, the browser would execute the instructions in that data. Usually further resources would be downloaded and, UI drawn and functions executed. This is again very similar to any apps that you run once downloaded.

Installation of an app implies making it ready to use. You can download an executable that runs right away or you can have an executable that prepares the environment for use. This is again exactly the same with visiting a website, it might be ready to use right away or in might need a set-up of the environment.

In 2021, most websites need a setup process before use, you need to set up the ways you are about to be tracked and what information is to be shared with their partners. You need to decide if you like to sign up for newsletter, if you like to follow their social media accounts and more often than not you will be required to create an account. You will be prompted to set-up notifications too, if the browser support it.

Often the native App installation is less tedious and less painful than the website installation process because the app can afford to assume that the device is a personal one and the stored data wont be erased accidentally, therefore the account creation process can be both transparent and persistent.

With native apps, you get the chance to see the app before installation(App Store pages with description, screenshots and reviews), with websites you first need to finish the installation and then you get the chance to see the website.

Anyway, I hope you see how a website could be installed and in fact is the standart modus operandi in 2021.

deference to a high speed armored vehicle always?

I will contend that "pedestrian" is the base state of a human who may also be a "driver" when seated in a vehicle.
Cities are designed for whom?

We err in allowing cars and pedestrians or cyclists to intersect at all. Cars belong in tunnels or highway-like contained danger zones where high-velocity armored vehicles are the only objects moving there.
Whataboutism is far from useless. By comparing similar subjects one can see their traits with greater clarity. When whataboutism is used to deflect from the original subject then it is useless for anyone seeing clarity.
Like many tactics it all depends on how it is used.
I hear you. Personally I'm hesitant to recommend anything in the Matrix ecosystem in large part because there are mutually verified users on my server who haven't been able to talk to each other in like 10 months, and the issue thread has been stagnant for about that long. Frankly it's fine that there are bugs and it's even fine that there are bugs impacting core functionality for such an ambitious project, but it's frustrating that this ecosystem falls down so hard when it comes to providing an accessible experience for non-technical users (i.e. when things don't work, it's extremely ungraceful and unclear what exactly is happening or why).
Darbian (of Super Mario Bros speedrun fame) has been speedrunning this game on Twitch recently, on an actual Master System console. Previously he had played on the Genesis, which had different strategies due to the collision detection differences. His world record on it is just a bit under 5 minutes. Most of the runs die on that (very frustrating) bat section due to collision detection. I wonder if he has seen this article yet.
And a rather general observation - we expect "most extreme" anything to often be the result of measurement error or some sort of lie.

If the variance of a disruptive event is higher than the variance of a process, we expect the extremes to be disruptive events. The things people are willing to say (by accident or as a lie) are much more radical than the results most processes work to. So it is not that strange if an extreme event turns out to be effectively a bad evidence keeping.

Great feedback for them, and I felt chuffed to get a phone call, and am happier with my software than I was before - win win!
> I remember being surprised that two big name companies would just scrap all of that brand recognition for a cheap sounding name.

That reminds me of Kioxia.
Ouch, that’s so callous I hope you’re joking.

The OP was actually arguing:

> The fundamental issue here is incentives. Raising children is a lot of work and a secular worldview doesn't really provide a strong incentive.

In other words, current youth is too busy with their avocados and lattes to think about breeding (“for the Fatherland” I guess, given the tone.)

Which is a laughable argument, as much as -although opposite in spirit - your own “I breed children so someone will change my diapers someday”.

But by all means, don’t bother having children. You’d make a terrible parent.
I visited a ´real´ libary yesterday and theur automated reaction durting covid-19 is slowing down.

I also noticed that ´width tech´ is the only lacking verb before tech without a specific describtion.

So short:

I think we should call width tech the ability to change pace, change quality and change the amount of code written.

Why:
Because issues like these are making or breaking tech companies.

What do you think?
I don't think you're contradicting my post.

You are simply stating that me turning on the light is not a necessary condition, but a sufficient condition (which is a reasonable argument).

My argument was that if the statement "if the light is on it was turned on by me" is true (i.e. the me turning on is a necessary condition), then if I did not turn on the light the light is off [edited after mistyping before].

I think this works better with other examples, because as you state, we typically think more of the turning on as a sufficient condition.
I fully believe that Element want Matrix to be decentralised and diverse, but I don't think it's actually true.

Despite years of deployment, 90%[1] of the work is still done by paid Element employees rather than the community. Could you imagine a world where Microsoft make 90% of the effort to Linux and still tried to call it diverse?

Likewise, the vast majority (>80% anecdotally) of users on the main Matrix federated network live on a single instance centrally administered by matrix.org. Again, not a shining example of decentralisation at work.

My worry isn't about Matrix the protocol, though I think it leaves many aspects to be desired. My worry is that the fate of Matrix rests on Element Co, which seems to be a default-dead start up, repeatedly needs to seek funding, and nearly went bust in the past.

This might also help explain why so few startups survive in Germany.

If a German startup has a nice idea and start working towards it with 4 ppl 30h/week each, at say 50k$/year/employee, a US startup:

- has access to most VC funds

- the German startup might have proven that there is money there, which helps getting VC funds

- has access to (0) a lot of (1) top and (2) absurdly hard-working talent that will put as much time as necessary for the startup to out-compete everybody else,

- has access to an ecosystems of startups around that might help them,

- has access to better way to compensate these employers, like almost tax-free equity, etc.

- has access to better ways to cash out, IPO, SPACs, etc.

Once these startups outcompete and survive the competition, then and only then they can and do switch to 35h/week, etc.

Some of my friends from MSc. in Germany work there at startup incubators. They have 50k$/year salaries for 40-50h/week, and B2B startups get funded for 2 years, die, and they just move to the next one.

Most of them are trying to switch to bigger German companies like car manufacturers to get a 35h/week job that's higher paid, and are pretty burned out of the life of attempting to build stuff that ends up in nothing because they get outcompeted by the US, China, etc. every single time.

This type of international competition didn't exist 100 years ago at this level, and many DAX companies are that old. AFAICT the youngest company in the DAX is delivery hero which is 10 years old. The most valued company is SAP which is 40 years old.

Compare that with the 30 most valued companies in the S&P500....
Best PDF reader ever!
That depends on how that tape was formatted. There are plenty [1] of articles [2] out there [3] on the use of digital video tape as a backup medium, if your tape happens to have been created through one of these processes you should be able to read it in a similar fashion. Instead of dvgrab these seem to use dvconnect, time to start experimenting I'd say.

2 years ago I bought a firewire pcie card exactly for the purpose of digitizing old footage from both Digital8 and analog tapes by old Sony camera is able to read. Reminded me of the old days when you had to wait for the whole tape to load on my Amstrad CPC to play a game :)
The result was great, a lot of memories, some tape fixing on the old analog tapes and some troubleshooting to start with. HINT: I had to boot with the camera already connected to the firewire card otherwise the capture failed

Sure there are necessary conditions in the real world. It is a necessary condition for the apple to hang on the tree, for it to fall from the tree onto Newton's head.

By arguing there are no necessary conditions you are essentially saying we can't use mathematics to describe nature and there are no laws of physics.

Everyone will find different things work for them individually, but as a general rule of thumb you need to distract your mind so that it is too busy doing something else to think about work.

For me personally, that means going for a walk.

There's a theory that the brain can't do highly complicated thinking while also focusing on the complicated effort of walking, so while we often say "I'm going for a walk to think about something" and come back having had a good long think, the "day job" part of the brain is now focused on walking, while the more subconcious aspects are doing the thinking.

That not only gives me different solutions and ideas, it builds fitness, shakes up sluggish muscles and boosts oxygen to the blood/brain by the physical activity.
GPG is the solution. It’s so easy to use.
One of the earliest (and also one of the best) Columbo episodes ("Murder by the Book", 1971) was directed by Steven Spielberg. If you watch it, it is immediately clear (even during the initial shot) that this episode is simply in another league. Not only when compared to other Columbo episodes, but also when compared to other TV shows during that era (see for example this short documentary [0]). It is crazy to think that Spielberg was only 25 when he directed this.

If I remember correctly, the quality of that Columbo episode was what really started Spielberg's career. He got the offer to direct a TV movie afterwards, and he presented Duel [1] (also in 1971), which is simply a masterpiece and got a theatrical release after the TV success. It established Spielberg as a major film director. Just watch the title sequence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0707XtiFPs

Although the writing was superb, I don't think Columbo would have been such a good show without Peter Falk.

He had talent, and natural charisma. I don't think I have ever seen him in a bad performance, even before Columbo.
Is it really that much of a comparison? I think a more fair comparison would be an Android device with a similar update horizon. As far as I am aware, no such Android phone exists.
