> Which seems to be entirely alien in the enterprise world.

There are a few reasons for this.

1) Enterprise is mostly staffed with mediocre programmers. That's not meant to disparage anyone. Even great engineers will produce mediocre work if the incentives are aligned that way.

2) Enterprise problems have more to do with people management than writing the fastest and most cutting edge software. Frameworks can get hundreds or thousands of engineers speaking the same language for writing the boring code (which is the majority of code).

3) Enterprise companies often already have an established business model that works. They often have market dominance in some area and it's okay if their software is a little slower/buggier/etc. Game industry is no different.

4) Enterprise companies often have enormous scope that smaller handmade tools can't always cover. For example your average homegrown UI framework probably won't have accessibility in mind from day one.

5) There is no way to judge the quality of homegrown tools until it's too late. Our industry (like any other) has very loud yet very dumb people who convince others that their way is best. They build up layers of awful tooling/architecture that needs to be rewritten down the road. Frameworks have at least some form of validation.

I used to believe the above was fixable. Now I know better and just stay away from big companies. Work is more fun and fulfilling that way :)

For the commenters asking: this applies to contact lenses, not eye glasses.

From the Contact Lens Rule [1]: "a contact lens seller cannot provide contact lenses to its customer unless the seller either obtains a copy of the prescription or verifies the prescription information with the prescriber"

The Eyeglass Rule [2] doesn't contain this stipulation.

In many recycling processes it's typical that there are pollutants that are not cost effective to remove. You can apply metallurgical techniques to reclaim the metals from a battery, so I don't see how this would apply, but not everyone knows that.
I can only say that adding to OSM benefits anyone who's searching for 'common things' that are still missing.

Often it's a long stretch until the map is 'fully usable', but that's the thing when you try to avoid Google (which is my use-case).

And - as I live in Central Europe - OSM is very well usable for me any my use-case.
Pretty cool article. The five described points are: 1) the kinds of ice 2) phase transition between two liquid forms of water 3) three unclear points about evaporation 4) the pH value of the surface of waterfalls and 5) quantum mechanical effects of nanoconfined water.

Highly worth reading, and it's a pretty easy read, too.

You can use a butter knife as a tire lever in a pinch, or the handle side of other flatware. Chain tools are a necessity, since manufacturers would have to either offer chains for every different number of links someone would feasibly have to install on a bike, or weaken the chain or make it wider to be accessible with "standard" hand tools. A thinner chain is a necessity to have more gears without obnoxious wheel spacing and derailer travel.

The tool you pointed at at is a chain whip. You used to not need a chain whip to replace sprocket clusters, but the old way of removing a freewheel still needed the proper shim to lock the freewheel mechanism, which was built into the sprocket. Now the freewheeling mechanism is built into the hub, which means the sprocket cluster has to remain put so you can unlock the lockring (instead of spinning the wheel). You /could/ do it by just holding the cassette with your hand, but I don't recommend it :)

Although bike tech is in many ways suffering from the same march of "more tech, sleeker package" that makes parts smaller, weaker, and with shorter service lifetimes in other industries, most the specialized tools needed to work on bikes haven't changed in some decades.
The bigger problem with Qualcomm is that they're primarily the reason why devices only got a two year span of updates and poor support. Each board built for each phone still had to get the software support starting with Qualcomm before it could be built with new source for updates. Outside that 2 year window, every device OEM had to support the hardware themselves. That's why new phones with older SOCs never got any updates at all. (Read up on Project Mainline as one attempt to mitigate this problem.)

I'm not surprised at all that OEMs are moving towards own/custom SOCs or other sources. Been seeing more Motorola phones with Mediatek socs, Samsung has Exynos, Google now with Tensor.
The law only applies to contact lenses, not glasses.
You know that Google Photos scans everything, server-side, since like 2012 right?
Or you can ask them to code up some algorithms. The companies paying the best choose to do this, and they grew and became much larger than the companies that didn't do it this way, so now most companies do it this way.
Nah, just saying that when 98% of one party's higher chamber wants to make minimal progress toward doing the right thing, and 0% of the other one does -- it's pretty dumb in an /r/enlightenedcentrism kind of way to blame "our politicians" for failing to take action.

Given the responses in this thread - it makes sense why hapless "both sides" politicians like Andrew Yang were so popular on HN.
I love Android, at least on my TV set top box. I haven't used it on my phone since the Samsung GS3, almost a decade now. I like it and as a Windows user would love the additional integration but I need a "mini" phone and I want someone to match Apple's longterm support. People (don't know they) want Microsoft's foldable device and a phone like my 12 mini, but on Android. If Microsoft or Amazon ever decides to fit the void, I'd be back in. I enjoy the heck out of my FireTV devices, and have ever since I moved off of my AppleTV gen2 box, which was the last one I know of that could be easily jailbroken.
>Are you talking about the ridiculously expensive universities(and higher education in general)? Maybe fix that?

Interesting question that. I think the issue is that corporations realized training employees was a cost center and decided to outsource as much of it as possible to, as you said, ridiculously expensive universities. Of course no general education could ever be perfectly aligned with the individual needs of millions of unique positions at different corporations. The fix here is for companies to reopen their own training pipelines.
Falsifiability does not work that way.

To avoid hypotheses that are unfalsifiable is good practice absent evidence because you can construct an infinite number of such hypotheses. That does not mean that a given unfalsifiable hypothesis can not be true, however, just that pursuing it is generally likely to be a waste of effort.

Asserting that simulation is definitely true absent evidence would be unjustified, but very few people would make that claim, so it's not very relevant.

However the inverse - the hypothesis that we're not in a simulation - is falsifiable by proving that we are in a simulation. And any number of variations over the idea that we might be in a simulation can also be testable and falsifiable in various ways.

The original point of contention was that QM and non-determinism proves we're not in a simulation, however, and that is not a viable way to falsify the hypothesis that we're not in a simulation. The hypothesis that non-determinism proves we're not in a simulation is falsifiable by coming up with a way wherein non-determinism can be accommodated.

If the world the simulator runs in has access to non-determinism this is trivially done by simply forwarding non-determinism into the simulation (many other approaches to attack that hypothesis are possible, e.g. using a additional simulations as oracles to determine if supposedly non-deterministic events would be revealed as such, and use that to pick values that ensures a failure to simulate non-determinism never gets detected, so access to a source of non-determinism is not necessary to falsify that hypothesis either, though it would complicate matters). As such the hypothesis that non-determinism alone proves we're not in a simulation is false.

When you instead call it a factory analogy, exactly as the story reads, it suddenly fits well.

Confusing a framework for arbitrary reuse is perhaps the best way to identify developers who aren't the mythical 10x developer. It is no different than confusing decoration for something useful when you are fending off destitution.
"That means if 1,000 elderly women take aspirin daily for a decade, 11 of them will avoid a heart attack; meanwhile, twice that many will suffer a major gastrointestinal bleeding event that would not have occurred if they hadn’t been taking aspirin."

"The U.S. task force wants to strongly discourage anyone 60 and older from starting a low-dose aspirin regimen, citing concerns about the age-related heightened risk for life-threatening bleeding."

I understand that the bleeding is a serious concern, but does that have an immediate, potentially fatal or life changing impact - or does it happen with enough warning that you could stop taking aspirin and/or get medical assistance?

If so, then I think most people would feel that is worth the risk to take aspirin even though it has a more numerically higher likelihood of a bad outcome.

> Despite the many improvements, Apple is actually dropping the price on its flagship 15" MacBook Pro by $400

I would have been happy if the price had stayed the same or even gone up a bit. But the jump to $2k (which is $2,500 including AppleCare and tax) is a bridge too far.

I'll keep suffering with my butterfly keyboard until amazing futuristic features like HDMI and SD trickle down into the more affordable machines. /s

> known child pornography material

For some definition. Russia's FSB might have a very different idea of what this is. Anti-Putin memes, for instance. Navalny support materials or brochures. You'll have to watch what you download, because your phone might upload it and incriminate you.

Or China's MSS. Winnie the Pooh, Tiananmen Square, Free HK, etc.

Or even the FBI. Financial or political leaks, Wikileaks, etc.

Once they know who you are and why they don't like you, they can incriminate you in other ways. This helps them find and flag you. They don't even need to monitor and decrypt traffic - they can just upload hashes of things they don't like and let Apple's dragnet do all the work.

Don't buy into "CSAM" scare. It's never the intent. The powers that be don't give a damn about children. It's about power.
I have a BlueTooth-enabled hearing aid (ReSound Linq) that connects directly to my iPhone. It's a life-changing feature. It also has some capability to find hearing aids, but since I'm profoundly deaf and not wearing my hearing aid means I'm functionally completely deaf, then it's either in my ear or on my nightstand, so I've never had the problem of "where did my hearing aid go?"
Then you are in luck if looks don’t matter just glue a couple air tags to them and be done.
Yep, agreed on that - I was positing a better smartphone suite of capabilities but not that hearing aids require smartphones.

It's a proper appliance phone. It holds the same place in my life as my kettle or my washing machine. It does what I want it to do, and asks nothing of me. I don't know any stats about it, only that it's fast enough, has a long enough battery life, and takes good enough pictures.

I couldn't be happier.

This is surprising for 2 reasons

1) that there was this significant bleeding from baby aspirin

2) that a miracle drug from 300bc is being found to have downsides.

I'm still an aspirin proponent for treating sunburns and minor ailments. And salycilic acid for my face routine.

This is incorrect. From https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_common_mi...:

For contacts, it's incredibly frustrating when your eyes barely change over many years, but prescriptions only last two years (or one, depending on state). You may need to resupply on contacts, but are not able to purchase them without a new prescription.

You can be 1 year and 11 months into your prescription and buy 4 years worth of lenses, but at the two year mark, you can't purchase them at all without another visit to the doctor and explicit approval for a specific prescription.

My particular annoyance is that I usually buy a year or two worth of lenses at a time - one set usually lasts a month, but I don't wear them every day. So I can stretch out the time a bit further. By the time I'm down to my last set and want to resupply, I'm required to visit an optometrist. Spending money on another eye exam that tells me nothing new. It's even more frustrating if I completely run out and have to use a set longer than is ideal while waiting for an opportunity to visit a doctor.

I get that wearing the wrong prescription lenses isn't ideal, but I don't understand why prescription lenses are gatekept like narcotics. If you can't see well or have the wrong prescription, there's a natural incentive to visit an optometrist and figure out exactly what you need.

Please, there are other options, they are just more inconvenient than what you are used to accept living on.

I think you might be thinking of Cairo when used with one of the print backends, not GTK. GTK2 did not use float coordinates or support fractional rendering. See for example here:

https://developer-old.gnome.org/gtk2/2.24/GtkWidget.html#gtk...

https://developer-old.gnome.org/gtk2/2.24/GtkWidget.html#gtk...

Those would need to be floats if you wanted to have a non-integer scale. Changing everything to use float coordinates is a large undertaking that touches the whole stack and will require a lot of work. It still hasn't been done yet as of GTK4. If you'd like to spend your time helping out then please do so. Please refer to the gitlab comment above for a description of some of the technical issues that you would have to solve. But it may be more cost effective for you to just get some new hardware with a better GPU, or use something else.
Note that a large effort has been made to make specs more precise, to be easier to implement in an interoperable way.

That contributes to "word bloat", but it's not necessarily a bad thing. Picking the right metrics is not always that easy!
Definitely agreed, longer software support would be nice. On the other hand the repairability is important too, if you can replace battery and fix a broken screen easily the phone is unlikely to be useful after that many years anyway.

I think the previous pixels were reasonably good in that regard (not compared to framework of course).

Improving that would be higher priority in my eyes. Software support can always come later: even once the official support is dropped the community can backport AOSP fixes etc.

I’m sure the tiny particles would damage the rotors as well. Even rain is bad enough.
I'm sure that's true. I'm also pretty sure that number is a lot smaller than the number of people in the general population who permanently damage their hearing using non-prescription headphones that they can purchase anywhere to listen to music every year.

There are a number of healthcare areas in the US that have been protected by regulation, but it’s increasingly unclear if this is good for patients, consumers, or public health at large. The increasing sentiment seems to be probably not.

Vision care is another area I’d expect to see more changes and disruption coming down the pipeline. Vision care is very important and advanced cases require special skills, but it’s also unclear why many routine checks couldn’t just be done by a family doctor.

The US requires one to see a “doctor of optometry” to get a basic single vision prescription. That industry used to make its money turning around and selling you glasses from the same office but that whole industry has been turned upside down by online retailers like Warby Parker and such. Why the US can’t follow the models followed most elsewhere in the world is unclear, but it would remove a lot of extra steps and costs in getting a basic care of glasses. Ophthalmology (medical doctors) are still very much a thing but most countries don’t have this model of needed a “prescription” from an optometrist for a basic pair of single vision specs.

I don’t buy online because I want to see how they look on my face first.

Many shops won’t sell you glasses unless your prescription is under 1 year old. This allows them to charge you for an exam when you don’t necessarily need it.
You may not have meant to, but your question just reinforces the fallacy that hearing aids are for old people. Yes, hearing loss does occur with age for many, but it's not as uncommon as you might think for those not deemed "elderly".

I've personally worn them since my mid 20's. I'm glad that I ignored the perceived stigma of wearing hearing aids and got them. They are like glasses for my ears.
