> From the pov where people actually exist

You think if the outside would actually offer something instead of depressing scenery: stores and cafes within walking distance, parks and playgrounds, would people prefer to exist outside a lot more?

I could not exist at all in those suburbs. A cafe, various stores, and a supermarket within a 5 minute walking distance is as integral to my lifestyle as owning a fridge. Also having some forest around to go for walks is nice. The only thing walking for 10 minutes in an American suburb will get you is probably more suburb. If you're lucky a McDonalds and 20 acres of concrete parking lot will provide a change of scenery.
It's not bizarre at all. Character encodings are a sort of language in themselves, and end up with all the problems that regular old languages have – there's a lot of variety, people can't agree on one particular solution, and there's not a lot of money in taking care of the edge cases.

It would be bizarre if we were at the point where we had perfect translations for everything, but still struggled with character encodings specifically.

Great to see this becoming an expectation, or at least a well known aspiration. The link to the sigstore website provides a good introduction about how to achieve this goal.[0]

There's no fundamental reason why getting a malicious binary onto someone's machine should be easier than getting malicious source code into a repo, but unfortunately catching malicious source code might be "the other 90% of the problem", and might ultimately require something like decentralised developer reputation vouching, which is far from being a solved problem.

I didn't say you were disrespectful. Actually I'm grateful for the amount of restraint I noticed in your posts—especially since you're representing a minority point of view, as we've discussed more than once in the past. All that is fine.

The problem is that that's not enough. Accounts that use HN primarily (exclusively?) for political/ideological/nationalistic arguments are breaking the site guidelines. This site is supposed to be for curious conversation on intellectually gratifying topics, and an account that only uses HN for arguing about $hot-divisive-topic (be it China or any other) is clearly going against that spirit.

I can think of a ton of number crunching you can do where each node having 256 wouldn’t be awful. Like maybe brute forcing stuff where they can just segment the use case to each node. But it would certainly be a specialized case.

I agree, and I think it's software - legacy companies suck at software and it's hard to become good at it.

Tesla is a software company that makes cars and they've gotten pretty good at making great cars.

The legacy car companies mostly make crap and their software is universally terrible*. In addition to that they're constrained by the awful dealership system and all the bad incentives associated with that.

I don't expect any of them to offer any serious competition.

*Maybe a notable exception here for Cruise which was bought by GM, but they're relegated to just one trim level on one car iirc which suggests GM doesn't recognize the threat. They also focus on high-res mapping which Tesla argues is a dead end. It's also only a subset of the problem, the car's UI systems remain bad.
Those figures are well over a million just for 3 of the six years. For example, just in 2018 they evaded about 300K in taxes. Top marginal income tax rate in CA is about 48% IIRC.

When I went to school, which wasn't that long ago, 'he' was also the gender neutral pronoun for English.
Not to discount the answer you've had, but to offer another factor:

100 * £10 > 50 * £19

It plays into the other really: you have to multiply your fee by more than the reduction in volume to make more money; if you break even on the trade, in a way that's great, less work same money, but now you're not practicing.

So there's a trade-off there, and for it to be obviously worth it, there really has to be a significantly outsized boost to fee compared to reduction in number of people prepared to pay it, that just isn't going to happen unless you had it really wrong to begin with.

(Maybe if you're already on the very high designer end you can suddenly go 10x or more as a result of being 'discovered' or going 'viral'? But not lower on the ladder, like the difference between DIY shop 'it works' vs. bespoke; carpenter vs. joiner; as discussed above.)
The problem with paywalls:

1) they ask for an unreasonable amount of money. If they could just charge what they'd otherwise earn from ad impressions on that particular page view, it would be fine.

2) there is no global, anonymous (from the website's perspective - I don't mind the payment processor keeping records for AML/KYC purposes) micropayments system, and card payment fees make micropayments unsustainable

3) subscribing to the website requires providing personal details, with no guarantee they won't be used for tracking/marketing/etc. Cancelling a subscription is also intentionally made difficult - see the New York Times.

4) all paywalls require subscriptions - there's no "pay per view" mechanism. Do they really expect every web user to have a subscription to dozens of different news websites? Unless you literally spend all day reading news, it's bad value for money.
Windows doesn't have a lot of great touch friendly apps since Windows 8 was a huge failure.

I could see myself using this if I ever bought a windows tablet.

For example, if you like comic books, the touch friendly comic readers on windows are pretty bad. Also the biggest comic store, Comixology from Amazon, is not available in a windows app version.
Having been through an 80's gifted program, selection was based on standardized test results (98th percentile scores) followed by in-person, interview-style IQ test administered by a psychologist.

From what I remember, the interview focused on pattern recognition. "Here's a picture: tell me what's wrong with it?" "Here's three shapes, which one of the others comes next?" Pattern recognition is considered a proxy for general intelligence, right or wrong.
... Good.

Listening to the story in school it was obvious there was some stuff being glossed over; like, how did he discover America if there were people there already? ... And those people just gave their land to Europeans because ... ?

And, in the years since grade school, the answer to those questions have led to darker questions, with dark answers.

And oh shit, we're actually still pulling this shit. So again - good. Fuck that guy, and fuck his fake myth.
Usernames and passwords are always 7-bit ASCII at least in Japanosphere, to the point it would look odd that you get to log into a computer using their own legal names. To use a computer for any useful purpose as a Japanese, you will have to be able to understand what "English" or "alphanumeric" or "half-width" means, which are non-tech terms for `char str[]`, and be able to constantly and quickly switch IME between ASCII mode and multibyte mode with an at most 2-key combination.

It might be a "you're holding it wrong" situation, but everyone has already learned how to hold it "correctly " - it'll be a disruptive change to default a "natural" hold that you suggest.

Another major hypertext authoring tool of the 1980s not mentioned here is Storyspace, which was the emerging standard for reading and creating works of literary hypertext fiction. If you’ve never heard of any of these works—which were something of a Big Deal in the late 80s and early 90s—that’s because a) most of these works are hard to access on any modern platform on which you’d want to read a whole book (Eastgate is very much to blame for this), and b) they tend to exhibit the worst of the modish, academia-adjacent literary trends of this End of History period, in my biased opinion. They are, however, of interest from the perspective of digital arts history, and it’s a shame that they aren’t easier to access.

When hypertext fiction underwent a small revival in the 2010s via the free software Twine, many of the participating authors had no idea that they were often reinventing the wheel. But how could they have any sense of hypertext fiction as a historical practice, when their antecedents had practically vanished from the record?

Lets pretend we don't have a deep dark issue with port trucking
When I first got into 3D printing, I used OpenSCAD for my designs. The fact that objects are described with code made me feel right at home. It made it incredibly easy to make parametric designs.

But later, I did start to feel the limitations. Not having automatic fillet/chamfer was huge. And sometimes, I wanted the ability to measure the distance between two points selected visually to make sure all my math involving offsets was correct.

And as the article mentions, certain shapes end up with a lot of artifacts unless you "render" them, which can take a while. I designed a refillable catnip toy [0] and all the holes in it made the CSG subtraction take ~15 minutes, IIRC. Without rendering though, the opening on the bottom was solid, along with other glitches.

The TCSEC, frequently referred to as the Orange Book, is the centerpiece of the DoD Rainbow Series publications. Initially issued in 1983 by the National Computer Security Center (NCSC), an arm of the National Security Agency, and then updated in 1985, TCSEC was eventually replaced by the Common Criteria international standard, originally published in 2005.

It's not clear that this is why it actually failed. I'm sure they got at least one complaint about that, just by the law of large numbers, but it's not definitive that it played a significant factor in the burger failing.
Or it’s just that SF/NYC are adding a lot of younger new employees.

Developers don't care. Their job has always been about picking the path of least resistance and moving product, they probably care about the iOS userbase as much as they care about their Star Wars fan demographic. That's before you factor in how hostile Apple is towards cross-platform developers, and by the time you get to picking out a suitable graphics API they'll have probably moved on to a new one.

If games programming was about economics, we wouldn't be hiring developers in the first place.

It's very fast for a mobile form factor, and still very fast for a desktop processor.

The benchmark you linked is grossly overclocked, as are many others people have linked throughout this thread. Which is fundamentally the problem with the Geekbench browser and people searching around for something to prove a point, when the numbers on there are completely unverified (and sometimes wholly fictitious), unproven, and often under ridiculous scenarios.

Use actual reviews from credible reviewers and extract the GB results from that. e.g. https://www.anandtech.com/show/16214/amd-zen-3-ryzen-deep-di...

And FWIW, I don't even put any credibility on these M1 results. I'll just wait until Anandtech or someone similar has a real review with competently created, reproducible benchmarks.

> I've worked for multiple very successful computer scientist women.

To make sure I read it right: I don't think you're suggesting that there are proportionally many non-male computer scientists, just that you've known a few.

> They have no tolerance for folks who sit around and complain about the unfairness. It's clear their confidence, ego, and drive, allowed them to succeed.

Isn't that a baseless insult? People can point out problems without 'sitting around', and they can 'sit around' without pointing out problems, and in fact the latter seems more likely to me: people who want to 'sit around' don't act in ways that create more emotional stress and work for themselves, and that threaten their employment. It's also a common response to shut down people who have legitimate concerns: Attack them, change the subject to them.

Accepting your characterization of these women you worked for, perhaps they are selected for those characteristics, because others could not survive. Many women have quietly endured discrimination, sexual harassment, and sexual assault as the only way to survive in their careers; look at the movie industry, for example. If your industry is selecting for 'success' like that, then there is something morally wrong (and you are losing a lot of talent). Discrimination, harassment, and assault should be stopped, and if someone points out that it's happening, that helps.

Also, many men succeed in tech without exceptional confidence, ego, and drive. The standard should be the same for non-men (just imagine being non-binary in tech).

> I think this is an overly negative attitude.

Why don't we see what women in tech think? Why talk about them in the third person? Probably because there are very few here on HN. Is that coincidence?

re: Superchargers

I would love to be able to even consider another brand of electric car for my next one but given where I live (Vancouver Island), I just cannot. Sure, 3rd party L3 and L2 chargers around me are fine for going around town and maybe up-island, but I cannot reasonably say the same for longer trips.

I just came back from a 3k KM roadtrip to Calgary and back and I honestly do not think it would be possible (at least, not in a reasonable amount of time) with any other car. The infrastructure is just not there. With my Tesla (SR+), the stops were like those you'd have in any other car - stopping here and there to eat and use the restroom. The car and the chargers worked flawlessly.

It really is the killer-app for Tesla.
Ports are complex beasts. The current issues are being tied back to truckers which the entire country is lacking due to miserable lifestyle, and unstable pay. Long haul truckers have it even worse than short haul. Good luck fixing that unless we are going to nationalize and offer $100k+ wages for a miserable job.

When users are not in full-screen macOS apps, the notch remains, and the macOS Menu Bar has been made thicker to accommodate the notch.

Thanks for clarifying. So what you meant was that Orban and a small circle of people already in the Hungarian government got strong powers from the parliament to rule by decree and they use it to suppress civil liberties and liberal values and this is dangerous. I think I agree with that, but at the same time, this seems to be completely democratic process. I don't see autocracy or minority rule. I would be pissed if this happened in my country, but that is the problem with democracy - sometimes the naive and scared majority takes you democratically to hell.
The charitable answer is that it's positioned similarly to NY/SFBA relative to the rest of their respective countries.

The answer I really believe is that Hired is a for-profit company, this report is content marketing, and it would be bad PR with respect to its London clients for it to put London in Tier 4 below the likes of Philly and the Twin Cities.

How did the author miss the point of cars so much?

> One common explanation for the decline of urban and neighborhood beauty is the rise of the automobile, which makes it harder to develop such places. Surely cars and traffic can ruin many an attractive scene. Still, this is not even close to a full answer. For one thing, there are autos all over Paris, so at least in principle it ought to be possible to build in ways that are both highly attractive and allow for cars.

The problem with cars isn't how they look, it's how they lead to communities where people don't share space, can't walk from place to place, encapsulate once open spaces, and separate everyone. Plus they pollute and kill people. In cities built before cars, like Paris, people share space and interact. You can walk to the produce vendor, tailor, etc without parking in giant lots around box stores.

Airplanes repeat the pattern on a national scale.

M1 is fast for being a laptop CPU. This means that maybe it is not the fastest CPU in absolute terms, but if you consider performance per Watt, it is really a beast.

Although my main workstation is an Intel Ubuntu-based PC, I have also a M1 Macbook Air that I use when I travel, or when I am laying on the couch in the evening after work. That piece of hardware never gets hot, and the battery seems to last forever. Meanwhile it does whatever I throw at it; if else the limiting factor is the amount of RAM installed on the laptop.

Yeah, me too. In this case, Theranos was saying they were going to demo their revolutionary lab testing process. They would take the blood sample from the participants being demoed to, put them in a cartridge that then went into the machine, and the machine would light up and start making noises. They would lead the people out of the room and other employees would secretly grab the blood from the machine and process it with a very labor intensive manual process (normally taking a couple of hours). When the participants were given their results, the implication was that Theranos' revolutionary machine did all the work.
I think it’s interesting because a notch would have a much bigger effect on other OS interfaces compared to the Mac.

On the Mac, there is generally space up there anyway (usually menus on one side, icons on the other). In “full screen” they’ve decided to just black it out unless those same menus/icons are set to remain visible. In normal use, not really taking up important space.

On other desktops though, it would appear to carve a piece out of the background.

The signal strength was hardcoded to always show 5 bars during the demo, but I think your overall point is valid.

How abusive port trucking operations are. To the point I dare say some of the current shitshow could be the lack of immigrant drivers due to covid to bait into driving.
> And the diseases were only a small factor in the outcome of the colonization. Guns being a much larger factor, for example.

I'm not so sure about that. Writing gave a huge advantage to the Western forces. By that I mean military men had access to a couple thousand years of military tactics books. Having advanced weapons is one thing, knowing strategy and tactics is quite another.

For example, there are battles where the Romans were outnumbered 10:1 and still defeated a better armed barbarian army. The Romans were organized, disciplined, and trained to fight as a unit. They would just slaughter the barbarians who fought as individuals.

Remember, guns at the time were muzzle-loading, and had some rube goldberg contraption to light the powder. They were unreliable, inaccurate, and very slow to reload.
