Similarly, my company just redesigned a product after running out of an IC that's been on order for many months, still without an estimate on delivery by the distributor.

We redesigned it to use another chip we had in-house, intended for another product, but that product sells for much less and is in less demand, so...

We initially thought we could move pins around in firmware, and the parts have the same footprint, so it seemed possible, but they were different enough that we had to rev the PCB. Now we're waiting for PCBs and crossing our fingers that they will test out.

SAS allows "breakouts" and I think they may have updated SATA to allow something similar.
1) Videos disappear. Anything I think I might want to watch again in the future, I always download rather than bookmark. Not just YouTube but any video site (e.g. Reddit).

2) When Internet is flaky or doesn't exist. I've downloaded whole sets of tutorial videos for example to watch on a plane.

3) Stuff in 4K where my video player does a better job with hardware acceleration than my web browser does

I mean out of all the video I watch from the internet, 95% is streaming, but youtube-dl is for that other 5% that falls into the three categories above.

There's a reason they state the specs using this kind of language. Anyone who experiences performance < 1,800 MB/s is getting what was promised. And anyone who sees performance > 1,800 MB/s is going to be happy.

Where it becomes absurd (and amusing, but still not fraud) is when the manufacturer claims "up to XYZ or more!". Any number is going to match that spec. So the statement says nothing.

IMO, the degree of violation has a lot to do with the history of each of these companies up to today.

Drawing a somewhat crude analogy, if a person is a serial cheater in their relationships, and they are known for such cheating, and they don't really claim to be anything but a cheater, it doesn't really surprise anyone when they cheat.

If someone agrees to be in a relationship with such a person with the full knowledge that they tend to cheat, that person cheats, no one is very surprised.

On the other hand, if someone is known as "generally a standup individual", and they're generally seen as trustworthy, reliable and faithful, and someone starts a relationship with that person, the degree of betrayal when that "trustworthy" person cheats is much greater than the betrayal of the serial cheater.

Basically, Google/Facebook haven't built their business on claiming to care about privacy. Apple has. Even if Apple does exactly the same things that Google/Facebook are doing, it's a greater betrayal.

I wish json-schema was nicer to write and if it was I would do that. However its way too unfriendly, so using something like PyDantic models as the "source of truth" is much easier, and at least lets other clients generate definitions and validate their inputs / outputs even if the generated schemas aren't perfect.
Probably not. I've had some projects that went on for months, about 20 hours/week. Not recently though.

> Tungsten is the only metal you can reliably use as our machines have beam powers up to 15kW which can precisely deliver an enormous amount of heat into a pencil point sized area. Even at the common 1-3kW ranges the tungsten instantly liquefies when the beam turns on.

I'm sorry - is there an error here? As I understand the rest of your comment, you use Tungsten because it does not liquify?
Upon review of my tautology, I've realized that some might interpret the existence of a headline as an indication that there's something of more substance behind the headline. I deduce that all headlines are clickbait.
But it’s not “scanning” on your device. It’s uploading a hash at the same time as the photo, and the server then does additional work to determine if it’s a match or not.

Scanning implies you’re going over all my files with some frequency and then acting upon some violation. Here the system is designed so the device doesn’t know when the server has found a match or not.
My understanding is that in Japan zoning restrictions are controlled at a federal rather than local level. I've read that this helps prevent local incumbents using the zoning system to exclude new construction.

In other words, Japan lacks the regulatory environment (common in all these other countries) that depresses supply.

Oh Sublime looks great, like BBEdit on Mac. $30 not bad. Thanks for the rec!

I was speaking about French. In French, most nouns have genders. Usually, the gender is well defined but for some nouns like Wifi, the gender is different depending on the area or even across people. Where I live, wifi is mostly masculine, but you hear the feminine form often enough. Usually from people from the South West of France but not exclusively.

You can notice the gender of the noun from the article: le wifi, un wifi, or from the adjectives qualifying it, if any.
Ok thanks, that is informative. From a policy perspective I think it is a bad idea to basically promise everything can return to normal after vaccination, if this appears to not have worked out in places like Israel. In Germany they are phasing out free antigen tests and they are not required for vaccinated. Both seem like really short-sighted policies.
The opposite. My issues stopped when I created insane amounts of swap so it never ran out again.
My two Spanish teachers, who live in two different Latin American countries, use the RAE as a fallback authority in cases where it’s not clear what usage is preferred. So it is kind of a weak authority. And, believe it or not, the concept of correctness in language exists in Latin America, regardless of what the “locals” speak, and it matters to a lot of people, who love their language and treat it with respect.

Or, more obviously, the internal memos from Epic trial saying Apple has a CP problem coupled with a desire to create a system they could run on encrypted photos (assuming this is a missing piece for full E2E).
To add, this isn’t really “surplus” energy that’s being consumed.

There are fossil burning power plants running only to produce PoW, and unless mining operations shut down to allow a generator to operate at minimum load, they are forcing shared generators to run and dams to drain.
The USA might not treat Muslims well, but there have not been mass killings (in country - obviously there have been abroad). Anyone who wants to know more should google Srebrenica genocide, was the July 1995 genocide of more than 8,000 Bosniak Muslim men and boys in and around the town of Srebrenica, during the Bosnian War.

Those individuals who during the 1990s were the most ardent supporters of the ultranationalist politics that paved the way for the genocide in Srebrenica—for the ethnic ‘cleansing’ of Muslims in Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as Kosovo—are in charge today, too. Since the time of the socialist state’s end, there have hardly been any powerful political actors in Serbia who did not in some way advocate some idea of a ‘Greater Serbia’.

There is a clear continuity of nationalist politics that has more or less been going on since the nineteenth century, and the dominant line of political thinking in Serbia throughout history has mostly been nationalism. The essentialization of Muslims as the ultimate ‘Other’ has been one of this nationalism’s main pillars. On the one hand, Serb converts to Islam are in some way worse than ‘born’ Muslims for most Serbian nationalists. There is the popular saying ‘a poturica [convert] is worse than a Turk’, and the derogatory term poturica applies to all South Slavs who have accepted Islam—including Bosniaks and Serbian converts.

Well yes, in a perfect world, unfortunately trying to eradicate inequality with laws alone historically has had disastrous outcomes.
> Even French beats English in this respect, and that is an absurdly low bar considering the accumulated mess that is French orthography.

Even though there is a good amount of redundancy, once some subtleties like the liaison are understood, French spelling to pronunciation is a many-to-one[ or two] mapping, while English is a many-to-many multifunction mess.

My main problem is I don't want proprietary software. I want to pay for FOSS software. I have a rolling monthly fund where I donate to projects I like. A lot of Linux users scoff at paying for software, but I think the Linux community would really benefit from fostering more of a donation centric culture.

It'd be really interesting to see some laws like that in Canada - if only by the letter - as a way to discourage buying empty homes for investment.

From reading other points in the thread it seems like owning a home for investment in France is an extremely risky proposition.

Ask HN: Is there a create-react-app option that does as much as ngx-rocket?
Hey everyone!

I recently came across ngx-rocket (https://ngx-rocket.github.io/home) which does a pretty good job at creating a fully functional Angular app with a a lot of the bootstrapping done for you.

Does anyone know if there is something similar for React and widely used like create-react-app (CRA)?

I've seen a --template option on CRA, but I've been unable to find a template gallery/library.

From what I gather, redux, redux-saga, axios, bootstrap, etc (to name a few) would be pretty standard frameworks to add.

Let me know what you've found!
> unequivocally states that vaccine-induced immunity is more robust than that from infection.

It absolutely does not make such a strong claim - a more accurate takeaway is that vaccination using the current mRNA based formulations induces an immune response highly targeted toward the S protein RBD. This has not been conclusively proven to provide better or worse protection than immunity acquired through natural infection.

> At first glance, the RBD targeting of the vaccine sera neutralization might seem likely to increase susceptibility to viral mutations, but the rest of our results SUGGEST that this MAY not be the case.

> We found that the specificity of the mRNA-1273 vaccine-induced RBD-binding antibody response often narrows over time. In contrast, the infection-elicited RBD-binding antibody response often broadens over time

> The vaccinated individuals in our study were relatively young (18–55 years) and healthy, whereas the convalescent individuals were older (23–76 years, median 56) with a range of comorbidities (13).

> Additionally, we did not examine effects of mutations or deletions to the N-terminal domain of the spike protein, which can also affect neutralization by vaccine sera (7).

> Our experiments assayed binding of antibodies to isolated RBD expressed by yeast, and so cannot capture mutational effects on trimer conformation or antibodies with quaternary epitopes

> Evidence from multiple experimental studies showing that single RBD point mutations can lead to resistance to neutralizing convalescent plasma from multiple donors suggests that specific single mutants may be able to evade spike-targeting vaccinal immunity in many individuals and rapidly lead to spread of vaccine-resistant SARS-CoV-2.

Title might want to add "in my opinion" or something. At first glance this claim seems absurd however Apple has really sold itself as megacorp champion of privacy whereas the other two haven't. Perhaps not as ridiculous as it looks but hardly factual.
Couldn't they have taken the picture in the shadow of their capsule and point the camera at the stars? Because of no atmosphere to reflect sunlight I think they could have easily captured beautiful images of brightest stars ever.

Maybe they just didn't think of that. In hindsight that would have been a great thing to do, to show us how sky looks from the Moon. They were scientists after all and they were supposed to document what they saw, including the stars they saw, I would think. And there were multiple missions to Moon. Why didn't anybody think of doing such a simple thing?

I would think that if I were on moon and looked up I would say "Wow I've never seen stars shine so brightly, I better take a picture so I can show folks back home ..."

Evolution is of a change in the genes. Environmental factors can influence the expression of a gene (think Testosterone or Estrogen) without a change of genetics.

The change in expression over time and participant count the study highlights is not compatible with a natural selection driven evolution.
In general it's hard to make value judgements about which traits are positive and which are negative. Natural selection cares only for survival advantage of offspring in the immediate environment.

A good example is sickle cell trait, which provides a higher resistance to malaria, but a risk of a variety of other complications. In areas where malaria is a severe threat, the survival advantage of the higher resistance outweighs the other drawbacks. Medical intervention such as administering a malaria vaccine might reduce the threat of malaria such that there would be selection pressure against the sickle cell trait instead of for it.
> So I could.... VPN to Japanese iTunes, thereby breaking the terms of service...

In my experience, you'd immediately enter "vacation mode", which is limited to two weeks in free version, but unlimited in premium. Spotify doesn't even complain when you switch countries in a couple of seconds. They're very lenient on enforcement, I've used it for like five years before Spotify actually became available in my country (though I couldn't pay for the premium with a card from a different country). Just log in via VPN once, then it works for two weeks.
The Death Toll of Delay
I’d be surprised if there’s even 200 million GSuite (not free gmail account, since that’s not for commercial use) accounts active. They have like no market share in enterprise outside of schools. (I’ve never met anyone who wasn’t at a school that used GSuite. Which shows the circles I’m in, of course, but I think there’s a weird HN bias where people think that companies outside of smaller shops are using GSuite. Exchange is still good and cheaper than ever.)
They were what? Scanning on servers? Then why are the numbers for last year in the low hundreds when FB was almost 17 million?
I don't use Linux b/c it's the best desktop. I use it for two fundamental reasons:

1. With enough time and effort I can make it do whatever I want it to do (that can be done).

2. I'm a Python web developer and we deploy to Linux so it means I only really need to learn one OS (time to learn is in limited supply for me as man who cares about family life).

What this means practically for me is that 95% of what the OS provides works the way I want it to. I have a handful of things I customize and I've scripted those (Linux is great for scripting) so it's easy to apply when I refresh my OS every 1-2 years.

It also means I don't have to do things the Apple way, I can make it work the way I want it to work (within reason).

It also means I don't have an OS that will put advertisements in the start menu (that was the last straw for my family using Windows, everyone uses Linux now).

I realize if I was a lawyer and needed Microsoft Office or a designer and needed the Adobe Suite, then I couldn't take this approach or would need to run a different OS in a VM. I wish the Linux desktop would be an attractive target for all popular commercial apps to support it. But I'm not holding my breath, that's not why I use it.
Well the obvious problems with it is that it's hard to tell you've been infected and you need to quarantine for the entire duration until you are sure you've been infected and have recovered.

Apart from that, if the protection from a vaccine is temporary then there's no reason to believe your immune system will learn anything from an infection it can already handle. That part of the immune response takes a while and may never succeed if the virus is long gone before then.
That's good to hear, I don't know anyone who ordered the laptop so it's something to hear people online are receiving their products.

It was a love hate relationship with me. I had an intel MacBook Pro and hated it for a couple of years. So went and got a Ryzen based T495 thinkpad. This was pretty good but I got seduced by the M1 so jumped in.

I had three major issues with the M1. Firstly not enough RAM and it’s crazy expensive. Secondly I couldn’t run local x86-64 VMs which are if you like it or not the defacto cloud standard. Thirdly a lot of third party stuff just doesn’t work at all.
The last point was the killer. I had a massive problem trying to get something Qt based working properly and eventually gave up. Oh and the thing feels physically horrible - give me a plastic laptop with rounded edges any day.

Then the whole CSAM thing.

So fuck Apple. Out came the T495 again and it’s sitting here with 24Gb of RAM and a 1TiB SSD that I put in myself and didn’t have to pay in organs.

In fact as a pricing point the T495 cost me £550 new old stock with 20 months of next business day premier warranty left. +16Gb of RAM was £77. +1TiB £109.

‘We Will Not Forgive,’ Biden Says, Vowing Retaliation for Airport Attack
English doesn't have a notion of gendered nouns. In a lot of other European languages, however, they have them. I don't know French so can't draw any examples from it, but in Italian "tavolo" (table) is masculine while "sedia" (chair) is feminine. The reason for that is, at this point in time, by definition of the language. However, when creating novel words or bringing in loanwords the choice is largely arbitrary. GP is pointing out that the Académie Française chose to assign covid the feminine gender despite the popular use of the masculine gender for it in widespread use before their decision.
Interesting take, I don't want to assume which you mean, but it seems like the pledge is pure propaganda, that said I find it more troubling when knowledge is intermixed with propaganda. At least pure propaganda is not trying to convince you it is anything else, like a space to transfer knowledge :)
If you want, you can run a lot of proprietary Windows software in wine, so this is already an option for you.

However, a lot of open source software projects will also accept donations in addition to code (if you do not have time to contribute the latter) so if you find something lacking there may be an easy way for you to help. I like to pick a few OSS projects every year to make some donations to. I have always figured it would be better to help improve the open source solutions than it is to look for proprietary ones.
