There were some significant reorganizations from 2.7 -> 2.8, 2.8 -> 2.9, and again from 2.9 -> 3.0. It's upsetting to see this much churn over this short of a time for Blender.

Blender has always been very keyboard driven, but I don't use it often enough to have most of the shortcuts memorized. Even those seem to have changed, though. I'm sure there is a setting in the preferences to restore the old shortcuts, but it doesn't really feel like an appropriate thing to do with such a complex piece of software.

I know Blender has a "reputation" for being difficult to use. It used to be earned, over a decade ago, and it was indeed an impediment to getting new users. I felt like--as even just a casual user--Blender had hit a good sweet spot of organized, predictable, and powerful. It's just the very nature of 3D modelling to be complex, and it feels like most complaints about its interface these days are just from completely new people who don't understand this.

That seems to be one of the dangers of Free Software. Having no monetary barrier to entry, you get a LOT more first-time users. Without the sunk cost of having spent several thousand dollars on 3DS Max or similar, they don't have an emotional incentive to stick through the learning curve yet.
I loved to see a Cuis version of SqueakJS. Just pare it down to its essential classes just to give developers a clean base to experiment with the language on. No e-Toys, no Metacello, etc.
I travel by motorcycle. My big, fragile laptop takes a lot of precious luggage space, so I'd love to have something smaller.

I thought of using just a tablet to replace my laptop and my paper notebook, but thin client development only works with a fast, stable Internet connection.

This isn't possible everywhere. It's not even possible on German intercity trains/buses. It's also not possible across the oceans due to latency.

Even when the location is fine, there are bad wi-fi connections, paygates and network outages. Hotel wi-fi is hit or miss. Camping wifi is mostly miss. Censorship is also an issue in some countries. Some wi-fi networks block certain ports too.

My definition of anywhere includes those places, and far more remote ones. Therefore I need a local development environment, so I'm taking my laptop with me.

However, I really love the idea of working from a quiet place outdoors. I spend a few hours on my small balcony every morning. I was considering working from quiet places in the woods like you do.

On the surface, it is hardly a fair comparison.

A lot of these are missing out the Context. When Steve Introduce App Store, he said and quote

>"Maybe it'll be a billion-dollar marketplace at some point in time. This doesn't happen very often. A whole new billion-dollar market opens up: 360 million yearly run rate in the first 30 days, I've never seen anything like this in my career for software,"

>"Music is a two and a half billion-dollar business a year for us. I'm thrilled at $360 million a year run rate. We'll be dancing on the ceiling if we cross a half a billion. Maybe someday we'll get to a billion."

He also said he doesn't believe App Store will overtake iTunes in revenue. But that was at the launch of App Store in 2008.

Forward to 2010, App Store was nearly $2B. Still not as much as iTunes, but it was growing fast. And projected to overtake iTunes in 2011. He didn't understand the App Store market. So it was uneasy for him. He spoke about it in multiple interview since 2008. But he was sick, and well aware oh his health. On his last trip to Japan in 2010, we wrote "All Good Things", the last part "must come to an end" wasn't written out. But he must have known his days may be numbered.

Remember 2010 to 2015, Apple was about, or at least perceived to repeat the same mistake of Macintosh and Windows again. Current iPhone 13 in launch quarter would have sold more iPhone than all iPhone 2G to iPhone 4 combined. iPhone revolution has barely stated despite most of nerds realise how big of a change it will be.

In 2015 the war has pretty much settled. Android will never be able to destroy iPhone. And iPhone growth projection has zero momentum lost. I wrote on AI how Apple will reach 1B iPhone user in 2020 at those projected rate in 2014. At least Phil Schiller was aware of it in 2014 and floated the idea or lower commission rate from "Strength". I am sure if Steve was alive and Scott Forstall was still on the team you would at least have some support of that idea.

The problem is right now no one has the conviction to say no this isn't a business we should be in. Certainly not from the number guys like Tim Cook or CFO. iTunes was used to sell iPod. App Store should have been used to sell iPhone. Instead it is now used to extract value from iPhone users aka Services Revenue. Scott stood up for Developers, Steve did too. As shown in email released in court. And I am pretty sure Katie Cotton would have smelled the PR disaster before it even started. But all three are gone.
> They sit in the awkward space where they're larger and faster than a microcontroller but practically speaking require an OS that wastes a lot of the available resources; for running Linux applications, they feel way underpowered.

The Raspberry Pi isn't competing with a microcontroller. They're on opposite ends of the computing spectrum. If an application can be quickly developed and run on a microcontroller, using a full embedded Linux system would be overkill.

As for Linux work: The Raspberry Pi 4 is plenty fast for most embedded applications. If you're trying to use it as a desktop replacement it's going to feel sluggish relative to an actual desktop, especially if you're only using an SD card instead of a USB3 SSD. However, it's generally not a problem for most non-desktop use cases.

Compiling large projects is the only place where a Pi 4 starts to feel limited, but cross-compilation is available with plenty of guides online.

If you have a situation that requires more power than a Pi 4, you should probably be using a real desktop or VM anyway. These are embedded systems that start at $35, not something competing with a $500 NUC or a $2000 laptop.
I actually did an interview at the age of about 30 where HR wanted to know my ACT score, and what wage I made at my teenager-job when I was 16. I don't know that they cared (I got the job anyway), but it was bizarre to be pressed on that.
I will provide some AnecData.

I am from a generation that when SSRI became available, it was a marvelous drug.

Prescribed to teenagers freely and plentiful.

Now on my peers of friends, we have many people who don't have any libido.

The hardest-hit group was Women as they go to therapy more[1].

It is so huge we have Forums like "dead bedroom."

Once a friend that took SSRI told me how she felt about sex:

"I am looking forward to when my husband reaches his 40s, so he does not bother me about sex anymore."

"Brushing my teeth is more useful and fun than sex."

I am not talking about sex partners that are not "competent" or good.
It is like you never felt hungry or willing to eat. But then you *have* to eat, and when you are tasting the food, it is like cardboard * every time*

The concerning part is that our PharmaCo does this every ten years. (Thalidomide, SSRIs, etc.)
So can we believe the mRNA vacuum is really safe?

Two suggestions with reasons.

Job:

JavaScript/TypeScript - Because like it or not, 'every' project ends up on the web sooner or later and every job interview will ask if you know web programming

or

Personal Growth:

Haskell - Because it will fundamentally change how you look at and approach programming. Even if you never write a line of Haskell afterwards and go back to Python the things you've learnt will make you a better Python programmer
I think my favourite simple example to illustrate this is thinking of (or image searching a picture of) a lemon. A lot of people can feel increased saliva production under their tongue, despite nothing at all actually changing, in anticipation of the sourness. Brains are magical :)
This sentence is so confusing because "Tianxia" means "the Earth" in Chinese. Surely those systems don't use outer space technology!
Feeling inadequate is integral to the cherchez-la-femme experience. But it's probably better to be humiliated in night clubs (where eg. women sometimes will pretend not to even see you) than in apps; ego defense mechanisms have less of a chance there. Also: actually kissing tells you a lot that detailed self-reported profiles will never do -- the "chemistry" thing is real, sometimes two people find someone cute and stylish but the kissing doesn't work.
If you were wondering why there's another post about CRDTs here on hacker news, so soon after this one (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28998767) I can answer that.

As I was finishing up the blog post above, I started speculating on whether HN was interested in the topic. And what kind of feedback it would get, if so.

My experiment with Nikita's list of CRDTs resources was instructive, to say the least, particularly as I'm something of a noob here.

So this time I've made sure that:

- the post works on mobile (well, as much as I can be sure)
- I've spelled out the TLA (FLA?) in the title
- the article is more than a list. It's much more.

I look forward to the discussion this time!

I always thought the big advantage of human/biological neurons was that they each could have 10.000 axons/dendrites and each one of those could also interact with thousands and thousands of neurons; and new connections could be created on the fly.

And I'm sure some neurons could perform complex computations themselves, but artificial neurons can also do that, but so far we haven't found that to be particularly useful and only use a bunch of simple non-linear functions.
You can be 100% sure that companies like JP Morgan and Atlassian have a bad working culture. These impositions, no matter how good they may be, are more likely to stem from guilt than sincerity and honestly I would have thought that business leaders act smarter when challenged. Because reflection is certainly not part of their own impositions.
I'll try one last time before giving up :)

OPEC doesn't feel like the right analogy. OPEC is a foreign state. Arrakis seems to be, like all planets, owned by the galactic empire. It is by several orders of magnitude the most important planet. A better analogy would be if, say, Hawaii, contained the bulk of the world's energy resources. It is strange to me that the galactic empire doesn't rule this planet directly with extreme security measures. Why isn't the empire immediately taking charge directly when there's any sign of conflict on the most important place in the empire?

Back to the drawing board feels like an exaggeration: most of what’s outlined here could be added non-destructively.

Personally I love how powerful the video tag is, you can even render it to a canvas tag and do all sorts of manipulations on top of it. But it’s the preparation of videos on the web that’s still a huge pain (and why folks use things like YouTube embeds): you’ve got your h264 standard encoding, but if you care about your users you’ll want to save them bandwidth and make h265 and vp9 encodings as well. What settings you apply to each encoding feels like a dark art to me, thankfully there are cloud services to help you but I wish it was simpler.
None of these are currencies. Even BTC isn't used for daily transactions, whereas in 2013 there were small businesses that would accept it (e.g. boutique pizza chains and coffee shops). That all disappeared when transaction fees blew up and made it not worthwhile.

These are speculative 'assets' that can only be traded for another speculative asset (altcoin) or a 'stablecoin' that promises that each coin is backed with US$1, but refuses to conduct an audit to verify it.
Maybe it'd be worth it after all!

With my dismal math skills I won't be making any profitable trades though.
> It doesn't need to?

The point there is that if legacy aerospace doesn't do it, new players will, and the legacy companies will be left far behind.

FairPlay and PlayReady are there too.
This is a quick POC for getting transcriptions of the Mandarin radio broadcast of RTI. I made this mainly for myself, maybe there are others who find this useful.
After working in video streaming company for several years and writing web player (on top of vjs & shaka) used by millions of users every month I both agree and disagree with the article at the same time.

Streaming video is too hard, 100% agree with that, but <video/> element is the reason nor the biggest problem. Biggest pain in my opinion is DRM. That is huge pain in the ass which is poorly standardised (getting better but still) and is constantly broken. Second is transcoding, which is hard because it is hugely complicated problem. Even after the years I don’t feel I understand more than 10% of what is going on. Luckily there are companies like Bitmovin and Mux that can help with those 2. Distribution of the video is easier with modern CDNs, it’s just insanely expensive.
Where we could do better though is to better integrate low level libraries like VideoJS and Shaka to web frameworks like React or Vue. Everything that is out there feels like hobby project someone just played with. Full respect and big thanks to the authors for putting it out though. You did way better than me in supporting open-source.

The html video tag is the smallest bit of the problem, adaptive streaming is much more complex and there isn’t just one file per resolution.

All the arguments make sense. I've removed him from the list.
Every stop light is actually required to have a beacon to be fit for purpose. It's universal among all manufacturers in every country.

When it's time to stop, they emit 700nm waves, but crucially, only in the direction that they apply. In fact, brake lights are required to emit almost identical waves, but in a different pattern.

Having spent the last 30 hours autonomously driving from Texas to the east coast, I can confidently say it never failed to detect these lights, and the existing standard is both sufficient and not prone to invisible errors, which you seem to want to introduce.
That doesn't mean people don't want to serve 4K video.

It means they want the video to be encoded in multiple resolutions for different levels of connection. Another thing that's not necessarily trivial, especially at scale.
+1, an ipad is useless if you don't have an internet connection.
What a depressing report. It lays out, quite clearly, so many of the things that most of us know, and yet don't know how to confront.

This is predicting that we'll pass the 1.5c threshold by 2030, sooner than I thought.

All of this will lead to predictable outcomes: More war, more humanitarian crises, more mass-migration, strain on food supply, etc...

If only the "perception of insuficient contributions to reduce emissions" was at the highest possible level now, as opposed to after the effects of climate change get much worse.
And it's also a lot less important. If you are using a boat for pleasure, part of the fun is in driving it. Meanwhile, for commercial vessels, the ROI is not going to be very meaningful. A ship with capacity to carry 20,000 20-ft containers only needs a handful of people operating, only a few of whom are actually piloting it. A cruise ship might have tons of crew, but again, only a few people doing piloting and navigation. There's probably a small market for small commercial vessels and maybe some recreational boats, but overall, there just isn't the demand for this in the way that there is for cars or trucks.
I posted this w/r/r SSRIs below, but it’s also true for Ivermectin: the development timeline aligns largely with that of mRNA vaccines.

Vaccinated diseases, more so than other medical ailments, are subject to existing technology being “good enough” until it suddenly isn’t anymore. But that doesn’t mean new entries are untested; it means the economic envelope in which it makes sense to test them is just a different shape.

I'm pretty sure it was to prove to their shareholders that they could sell the bitcoin when they need/want to. Shareholders get skittish about stuff like that, showing "hey, it's fine, we can sell it, we're not stuck with it" helps.

Anyway they always said it was to "prove" it's liquid and just as good as holding cash, not to "test" it.

> Controlling the boat near the dock is probably more difficult than cars or air planes since swells/waves/winds can move the boat relative to the dock.

For a layman, it sounds as the same kind of difficulty as controlling a drone in the air. It's not perception and identification of millions of different objects, neither it is predicting other driver's behaviour on the road — it's a physical process. Computers seem to be quite effective at adapting to that.
> The <video> element does have some usages which are underutilized, though: short, perhaps looping video, which can be used instead of animated GIFs.

But then you still want to serve a small video file (320px wide) for mobile and a larger one for desktop (600px wide).

> While it would be possible to have the ability to select different video sizes/quality rates based on HTML elements and attributes, it is likely impractical to handle, say, adaptive video streaming (where the quality of the video is based on the connection), purely in HTML.

Adaptive streaming where the quality changes over time as you watch is only needed for longer videos. You don’t need that for a short one minute video or a GIF equivalent. Just picking a resolution appropriate to the screen size would be enough.
I feel like this isn't mentioned enough. Right as Intel and AMD get out their M1 competitors a year later, the M2 is probably going to be coming out. Apple doesn't really pre-announce so it's not in people's heads.
I know that going into space is sexy and nerdy and cool and that it’s a difficult problem. What I don’t get is why so many people think about going to space and spend so much money on it when there are people in the US who drink water that catches on fire..and people elsewhere who don’t have access to water at all. Seems like we should work on the truly hard problems rather than the ones that are basically “just go up, really fast”
Yeah. And autonomous flight is already solved. Just like autonomous trains. What's so surprising?
I tend to design architectures that combine facets of all of these.
Because it's unreadable, and virtually every directory has more files than fit in one screen, so you either read it in an unnatural left→right up→down direction or you read it in the natural up→down left→right direction and keep scrolling back up and down. It's just a terrible default that really has no use in a text environment.
Why will they? Where is all this demand coming from?
Doesn't T-Mobile US offer home internet over 4G and 5G in most of the US now?

Those frequencies that I'm using (2305 and 3429 MHz) are in amateur radio allocations, so a license would be required (entry level Technician license will do). Because of that, you can't run any encrypted traffic over the link. So no https, ssh, etc. allowed.

With a license, you could transmit with up to 1500 watts (although it would not be easy). But you could easily run considerably more power than WiFi (like 10 to 20 watts).

Yes, I definitely simplified the explanation of the functionality of the driver. It's really a ULE (Unidirectional Lightweight Encapsulation) protocol driver. It processes Transport Stream packets received from the DVB-T2 receiver on a selected PID and forwards the data payload (IP packets) over the Linux Ethernet interface.

On the transmit side, I implemented the ULE protocol in GNU Radio (Github link in the diagram). To make the interface bidirectional, I capture transmit packets sent to the interface with libpcap as part of the encapsulation process.

First define the terms, therapeutic and treatment have effectively the same meanings.

https://www.askdifference.com/therapy-vs-treatment/

Joe rogan explained what his doc gave him. He’s also had multiple doctors and researchers on his show providing information regarding treatments they are attempting. Frankly, Ivermectin and the like have more research than the vaccine, they’ve been deployed for longer and at least passed phase 1 trials, which the vaccine has not (only preliminary results).

https://www.modernatx.com/covid19vaccine-eua/providers/clini...

In terms of “off-label” drugs, the FDA approval process is there to protect against liability. Effectively, the government accepts some liability and in return medical companies get some protections. It’s highly likely you’ve taken drugs “off label” yourself.

Thus far, this research is promising. Similar to other treatments / therapeutics to covid19, and it has a known risk profile. Making it a potentially better alternative to the standard approach (stay hydrated if infected and vaccinate ahead of time if possible)
