I should add another way I tried to approach this that would be less Type System Theater was Symbols and runtime assignment of brands, eg

const MySpecialPrimitiveBrand = Symbol('mySpecialPrimitive')

const val = Object.assign(prevVal, { [MySpecialPrimitiveBrand]: doesntMatter })

Yeah, don’t do that unless you want to destroy every language facility that depends on reference equality checks. It boxes your primitive and breaks the world.
Wow, so a bit like the Impressum thing Germany requires where you provide your address?

Huh, ok.
It's not 'mando' its that the writers are writing a story where the characters go do things the writers decided without having internally consistent logic or motives.

The character is dumb because the writers are bad.

I’ve shopped at both (based on location I lived), and the Costco employees always seemed in a better mood than the Sam’s employees. I figured it had to do with how the company, and maybe the customers, treated them.
> if the goal of the project is to produce something that's broadly useful as a "real laptop" then this is a serious concern, as a lot of software is either bugged or straight up broken on big endian.

This is really my only concern. From a practical perspective, big endian would not work for a general purpose usable laptop. Perhaps if Apple had kept with the PPC architecture, software developers would have paid more attention.
Despite the popular belief, if you are a non-professional investor with a smallish capital (~$5-10mm), you can relatively easily beat the market.
>There's so much potential, but it doesn't live up to what I expect from Star Wars.

clone wars was more sophisticated than mandalorian, and its a cartoon.

I've given up on star wars - I don't bother to even check out new stuff. It's dead and disney is wearing its corpse.
Most businesses will have very different cost distributions, because no two businesses are the same (even if two companies do the same thing). But there's still pressure on what your margins are expected to be by existing and potential investors, in no small part because of expectations of returns based on risks of the business and it's capital management strategy.

And is less an "average" number and more of a benchmark to aim for. It's perfectly possible to run a business on a 55% margin, but investors have options and whether it's VC or traditional bank loans this number is going to come up and be a distinguishing factor on cash availability.
Some political topics that this essay touches on could be off-putting to many; but there's quite some interesting bits for anybody interested in pop music/culture and how it's affected by marketing and it's role in society, etc.

FWIW, surgeon wife says “that’s totally standard, we do all amputations that way.”

I was really panicked for a second. Complete denial, skipped straight to the anger phase. Best Buy has honestly been such a refreshing experience the last few years, now that Newegg is less and less an option.

It's one of the few stores I still physically visit just to browse, with no specific purchasing goal in mind. It's how I ended up with a Philips Hues light setup and I'm actually very happy with it.

Broken env vars had me frustrated for a few days.

Digging Up a Lost Jimi Hendrix Track – Doriella Du Fontaine (2019)
So I think (having read the readme but not the code and not being expert in the subject matter) this is a library that lets you do things like read line, but probably is not API or ABI compatible (because that seems like something that would be mentioned and I can't see anything about it)?

Also, I have to say I'm entertained at completely throwing out worrying about terminals and just declaring that everything supports vt100 so we're going to target that and be done with it. Kinda elegant, especially for the relatively limited functionality they need (not like it's curses where you're really going to exercise the terminal's capabilities).
SB Foot! I've been to Minneapolis a few times, but I never managed to make it to Red Wing unfortunately. I've heard good deals can be found during their annual sale.
For the time being, it seems.
My wife specializes in US domestic dev/production, and uses separate contractors for each step, and all her contractors are down the street (figuratively). The factories are only putting the final thing together. And she sources fabric and buttons and stuff herself. She’s a designer, not a production developer, yet the companies she freelances with lately never seem to understand that they need to hire prod-dev people, so she ends up doing it. To the business owners, it probably seems crazy complicated vs just going to a (more expensive) “full package” factory where you neither understand nor own the process, but they bust it out. But the benefit of her method is that she can more easily switch to different contractors and factories. Full package places sometimes don’t even release patterns to you if you ask!

The “button problems” usually arise a couple years later when they say “hey let’s use our leftover buttons from the previous season. We should have x of them left.” Then someone forgets to count them and some months later it’s discovered that there aren’t enough, nor enough time to place another order.

Are the products you have experience with garments/shoes or something else?
It’s unfortunate that went that way. There were supply problems with J&J, and by the time that cleared up, states had mostly built out infrastructure to handle the storage and transport limitations of the RNA vaccines.

Show HN: KySync – A C++ rewrite of Zsync with performance boost
[Intro](https://kyall.notion.site/KySync-v1-0-29eaad446308449a8c9a23...)

KySync is an efficient way to distribute new data which makes use of older (but similar) data that you may already have present locally. KySync supports HTTP v1.1, but can easily be extended to support any server protocol which supports range queries.

KySync is [released](https://github.com/kyotov/kysync/releases) under the MIT Open Source License (see [COPYING](https://github.com/kyotov/ksync/blob/master/COPYING) in root of repository).

KySync is a full rewrite of [Zsync](http://zsync.moria.org.uk/) in modern C++. While no code was reused from Zsync, the awesome [Zsync technical paper](http://zsync.moria.org.uk/paper200503/) was the major resource used for the implementation of KySync.

The value proposition of KySync over Zsync is that it takes advantage of modern architecture features (multi-core multi-CPU systems as well as exceedingly fast IO subsystems, e.g. NVMe SSDs). KySync is 3x-10x (or more) faster than Zsync on such commonly available modern hardware. We have not spent much time optimizing KySync single-thread performance, so there are cases where with sufficiently high similarity, Zsync is faster when less then 4 threads are used in KySync.
Looks like this doesn't support Ctrl-O (run line and retrieve next line from history). I've found that incredibly useful for re-running a series of commands: Ctrl-R to reverse search, type a few letters, Ctrl-O Ctrl-O Ctrl-O.
The flag to dynamically link dependencies exists, and is part of the compiler's stable flags, but I'm not sure how much it's actually used, or how well it actually works.
There are numerous bodies of data supporting waning immunity at this point. This data is based on real-world breakthrough rates, not antibody counts.

Two examples:

1) Israel data shows high level of breakthrough infection. This is the basis for their booster policy:

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israeli-doctors-fi...

2) Moderna just released their own study showing reinfection rates at 2x at 13+ months relative to <8 months post second dose.

https://investors.modernatx.com/news-releases/news-release-d...
It is not pushing two years. The initial vaccination campaigns began last November in limited quantities.

Israel is the leader here, and has better control of reactionary elements of the population. Their data is pretty solid. Personally, I’d focus on the Israeli reports and ignore hot takes from the US government - between the chaos of the previous POTUS and the stresses of the pandemic, I think the US agencies are hurting.
One such niche is dress shoes. Companies like Alden make all their shoes in the US and maintain a very high level of quality even at their price point.

And the original Death Star had an unprotected exhaust tunnel going all the way to the critical core... It's StarWars, some suspension of disbelief is necessary. "Mando" is a guy who simply struggles with anything that is not bounty-hunting, and acting as a parent clearly sends him in complete confusion more often than not.

I know there are weak episodes, some almost on purpose (like the village defense, a homage to samurai films from a simpler era), but I don't agree about The Mandalorian being bad overall because it just isn't. It delivers worldbuilding, ambience, and characters (ironically, the ones under helmets end up being more memorable than the others...); the soundtrack is insanely good, the production art alone is fantastic, and it's a miracle that it's a tv-series at all. My kids just love it in a way they've not loved any other SW material.

The only thing I would change is Gina Carano (bad actor, bad casting, and turns out she's a bad person too), but that's it.
If the effects of joining YCombinator increases your final valuation by more than 7%, then on a purely financial basis you should join YC because even though you have given them 7%, you end up more wealthy than you would have. Ignoring dilution.

Obviously there are a variety of caveats, such as voting issues and time investment.

Personally, I suspect most founders are at a negotiating disadvantage (knowledge, power and bargaining asymmetries), and think it would be easy to get an extra 7% by having YC on your side of the table.

> Is there somewhere that tracks the number of Pfizer/Moderna/Other vaccines administered in the US?

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/covid-19-vaccine... scroll down slightly to see that Pfizer is administered more, but not vastly more than Moderna.
Here in Brazil its very common for healthcare workers to have a 12h/36h schedule. They work 12 hours and rest one and a half day, in theory. This kind of schedule was heavily pushed by unions and even coded into law. The end result is that I don't know of a single healthcare worker who doesn't have more than one job. They are working 60 hours/week...

No, GIMP is for designers, too. I use Photoshop at work and GIMP at home. Both for very light work. Adding text to an image, putting a product into a mockup template, resizing, etc. Both programs are very similar - I don’t really notice much difference between them. And GIMP does some things better!

Like any program, there’s a learning curve. But there are lots of like-for-like features and layout choices between the two, so if you know one then the other is easy to adapt to.

There are plenty of quality shoe makers, they just cost more. Red Wing, Allen Edmonds, Rancourt, White’s Boots, Quoddy, Alden, Viberg are made in the US/Canada. Loake, Church’s, Trickers, Cheaney, Edward Green, John Lobb are made in the UK. Meermin and Carmina are made in Spain.

There are a lot more as well.

I'd like to know the average lifespan of an iPhone with Apples 26% market share vs the Android market.

Maybe it's just me...but I usually make it through about 3-4 phone releases before I break something and end up getting a new one.

This applies to most of my friends. 5-6 years is a super long run and pretty rare. But Nobody in my social circle gets a new phone ever year, and 2 years is less common now.

But I don't see any Android devices over 2 years old in the wild, ever.

I'm excluding the sad fact that replacements are a common option over repair. I'd love to see longer lifespans with repairs now that processing power is so good. But I doubt the Apple investors will ever vote for that as an option as that's planning to move away from sales numbers and reenter the repair business.
Not a source but around here Pfizer was available first so the most at risk people got it.

I don't want to downplay the severity of contracting a life-altering disease like HIV, but with modern antiretroviral therapy the life expectancy for HIV positive people is actually about 70-80 years, though not that ART is side effect free...
No doubt. Costco has no business offering these as the poor quality is associated with their own brand.

The phone I remember we had at home when I was little was at least 20 years old. It worked fine, did exactly what it was supposed to do and never failed.

Three years is nothing, honestly, especially since we are now starting to reach a desktop-PC-like plateau in terms of performance for smartphone SoCs.

I admire Apple's dedication to their platform, even with all the criticisms about slowing phones down with each update. For Android projects like LineageOS are life savers for old phones and should be applauded or even sponsored by governments because they enable people to now throw away their phones but keep the for years after the manufacturer drops them.
I oppose vaccine mandates yet believe, backed by good evidence, that the mRNA vaccines dominate any other COVID vaccine available. The two should not be related.
Sorry, why are the only beneficiaries “owners of megacorporations”? What about the average family who can buy a TV for $500 instead of for $1000? Do they not benefit from the cost of goods being lower due to global trade?

The author notes the Fairphone 3+ as a reasonable alternative to “no user-serviceable parts inside” devices. What would need to happen for such devices in general to be the norm? Universal Basic Income to meet our basic needs so we’re less incentivized to extract as much as possible from the earth and life here?

"It found that, after the second vaccine dose, neutralising antibody concentrations were higher after an interval of 6-14 weeks than after the 3-4 week regimen that was initially recommended.

When looking at the delta variant, researchers also noted that, though there were good levels of antibodies after the shorter dosing interval, levels were 2.3-fold higher with the longer dosing interval."

This isn't really "new" knowledge, double vaccine shots for other illnesses are usually spaced months apart because it usually boosts immune response and vaccine longevity. I feel quite fortunate that I got Moderna, spaced 7 weeks apart, here in Norway.
are you stupid? you’re going to applaud them for not paying the ransom and then punish them by switching to someone else? god it hurts my head. if you really cared you would buy temporary service from the bigger and not cancel your current with the small. otherwise you are part of the fucking problem

My acid test for all things "super-modern" is to try firing them up on older devices. Y'know, to combat the old "fast enough to reach production but quadratic once it gets there" thing.

Hokay then. Moving on I guess?

Take 2: Galaxy Note 4 with Android 6

...Yep this is definitely running at about 19-20fps, maybe 23fps. It's not smooth. It's... responsive... I guess? But NOT smooth.

I experience the same effect when in websites that have long scrollable areas inside position:fixed divs or position:absolute divs anchored to the viewport edges.

Chrome seems to be able to special-case "scroll the root/body of the page" in such a way that it can run at like ~45fps on the Note 3 and pretty much the same on the '4. Random divs don't get that special-casing, and scroll rather choppily... exactly like this app.

I tried a Flutter API demo a while back and experienced identical behavior.

My reference case for rendering speed is the Drive PDF viewer (!), which on my Note 3 runs at easily 55-60fps and has just about the lowest latency I can recall of any app I've tried on that device. So I know the hardware can actually update very quickly... if you aren't reconstructing Mt Everest on every frame in the fast path ;)

Well, hot take: industrial/brutalist design can be a great fit for the "look" parts of apps... but not the "feel" parts. That always needs to be the result of a feat of integration engineering, for the UX to, well, feel good. All these toolkits break the "look" down into nice little manageable components... by applying isolation principles that also break down the cohesion of the "feel" as well in the process. In the name of progress. Or something.

Clone Wars was 7 series of 10 to 22 episodes each - 133 episodes, many of them barely watchable by anyone over 10 years of age. The good ones are really good, but there is a lot of dreck too, particularly the first 3-4 seasons. Take 16 random CW episodes and I don't think you'll find a better level of sophistication in it than in The Mandalorian.

This couldn’t be further from the reality.

Valuations on early stage companies have never been higher—we’re talking eight figures for pre-revenue businesses—which means millions of dollars before hitting the ~20% equity for a round.

Founders sometimes have shares worth multiple votes, the board is entirely them (since the huge supply of money gives them leverage), and VCs are so afraid of being labeled “founder unfriendly” that they defer almost entirely to founders.

Whether it’s good or bad is a much longer thing (some of each, of course) but it’s certainly not founders working for investors. It’s never been less so.

I can tell an anecdote from my own life to confirm this theory.

My first PR at nixpkgs, I had to close because I didn't understand what the maintainers were complaining talking about, it was like they were speaking a different language.
It was only one month later, after reading other PR reviews, talking on IRC and thinking about all of it, could I make sense of what they wanted from me. Since then I've started doing exactly what the author described: comment on other PRs with things that I was confronted with, and/or saw others be. By now I've gained enough knowledge to come up with own criticisms - indicating that I've learnt quite a lot.
