Baseball is a game with plenty of time in between action. This time between pitches is available for literary description and flourishes. The feel of the bat, the silent communication between pitcher as and catcher, etc. The tension is built and can be described in individual, well defined, moments. And while it is a team sport, the unit of competition is largely between the pitcher and batter. It’s a one on one conflict at the heart. This is much easier to write about than the chaos of motion inherent in basketball, football, soccer or hockey.

The other part mentioned in the article is the way baseball has entered the lexicon through phases like “playing hardball” or “knocked it out if the park”. I think this is largely due to the pace of the game. Baseball is a sport for radio. I’ve read before (sadly, I can’t remember where), that the popularity of sport is based on how well it works with the dominant media of the day. American football is built for TV. There are set plays, where you can cut to a commercial in between. Football also has a set amount of time. Same with basketball. And both sports have “TV timeouts”.

Baseball came of age during the era of radio. And there is a lot of time to fill for the announcers. It’s no wonder why there are so many phases in the English (US) language tied to baseball… the game can take between 2 and 5 hours. And in that time, there is a time gap in the action after every pitch that must be filled. In a game where the dominant medium is radio, the time must be filled. And because it is radio, it is filled with description is of the game, the sights, sounds, and tension. In sports that “came of age” with TV, you can let the picture tell a lot of the story. With radio, all of the story needs to be told by a person, converted neatly into words and expression. I wouldn’t underestimate the impact radio has had on the “literary” quality of baseball.

Which 10 hours? Timezone differences alone would shut out large portions of the world. A service which is only up when I'm asleep or at work is not very useful to me.

Also it has taken time for open standards to be developed to allow "Plug & Charge" operation:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_15118

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Charge_Point_Protocol

There are of course charge stations where you use an app or kiosk to enter your user account/payment information.

I can pay by card in chain bakeries and most non chain bakeries around me.

My supermarket recently upgraded their card reader to a model which doesn't take an eternity to process a nfc transaction.

Restaurants are the biggest hold outs and there many which still only take cash (presumably for "tax reasons").
OP says “as little JS as possible”. I’m seeing 830KB of JavaScript (254KB over the wire) on that page (plus another 14KB of JSON inside the HTML, of __NEXT_DATA__ bloat), spread across more than 20 files, when the only effects I can see are the scroll progress bar in the header (<1KB of value), the subscribe button (perhaps just barely 1KB of value), and SPA loading of other links; and loading /@PapyrusBlog and / via such SPA links fetches another 156KB (48KB wire) of JavaScript.

These figures are in no way light (even if they’re lighter than far too many sites). Given the positioning and the statement “as little JS as possible”, I was definitely expecting less than 5KB of JavaScript, perhaps even nothing beyond Plausible; having seen SPA functionality I’d be willing to increase that expectation to 25KB.

I’m with topicseed: Svelte would be a much more sensible starting point when seeking to use such a framework; SvelteKit can give you the same style of SPA stuff.

One last batch of remarks: most of the stuff in the “optimise images” step of that article is counterproductive. General content should not attempt to use lazy loading, it tends to make the experience worse, especially for distant visitors with higher latency but normally it doesn’t even help things for low-latency viewers. (next/image is wrong and foolish to enable lazy loading by default.) In the case of the logo specifically, if that’s the quill, that looks like it should be SVG—smaller and faster. And <code node="[object Object]">…</code> as the translation of the Markdown `…` is probably a bug.
I thought AWS is one of the most privacy respecting companies.

Elsewhere they say we don’t look at your data. Here they indicate, not only we look at your data to verify your compliance, but we may even ask client side applications not held on our data centers.

Weird, if you ask me!
I don’t think it’s “very few”. NAS devices seem to be so common these days. Everyone is snapping photos and videos with their phones. Latest phones can record video in 4k. Then you have video games where modern ones eat up more than 100GB per installation. A lot of people need more storage. Not to mention professional photographers, I happen to know a few and they buy at least 2 4TB disks yearly to store everything in copies.

They have positive cash flow though, and also have a giant pile of cash reserves, so why should they worry about it?

Their current financial position means they can make much more strategic decisions about long-term profitability rather than just worry about cash flow.

Bathing from a bucket, I saw that in a movie about Germany (Hannah Arendt?). Apparently it got replaced by real showering after WWII, but if water is scarce, you'd still do it. And I bathe my children this way, cause its less scary for them.
Honestly I think the scarier part is that "real" tech articles are rapidly approaching this level of quality and I can't tell if the "real" articles are being written by automation, or people who love to copy and paste. It's getting that bad. Modern tech journalism is just so vapid and devoid of any content, so even the parent post was more fun to read than the regular.

For an example, tech-based articles I loathe sifting through online are about anything related to recent events like a macOS update. Google Search: "macos big sur release notes" https://imgur.com/a/fmhyk6d

Imagine going to the first Apple link, not getting any details, and then moving onto the 3rd and 4th links hoping that some internet journalist broke down the details for you because the title includes "What's New?". Nope. The links all just resort to barely-updated articles that basically say "11.6.1 got released". Amazing, thank you tech journalists!

At least an article about iframes might give some boring facts to help crunch in your mind while your eyes glaze through.

Ask YC: Music/Movie ISP/Add On
I’ve been of the opinion a ISP that you pay monthly for unlimited access to music and movies could pay better dividends to artists and studios then the current models. I wanted to ask what people thought could work better, a new ISP entity with relevant licensing directly from labels and studios or a add on model which could sit on top of existing ISP’s which they could bundle in addition to existing bundles like TV, phone and of course internet.

> Tesla have plenty incentive as they are by far the dominant charging provider currently and can continue to expand potentially realising a monopoly on charging infrastructure. If they end up with such a huge lead over the patchwork of competitors then it’s going to give them loads of leverage.

Do you have any source for this?

From what I see Ionity (https://ionity.eu/) has around 400 stations and Tesla has around 600. So the difference is not crushing. Plus Ionity has huge backers: https://ionity.eu/en/about.html

> Arguments like this do you no favors. […] There are legitimate reasons to use it, it works very well, and code written with it is not 'garbage'.

Did you take a look at the links OP posted? I interpret their comment very much tongue-in-cheek.
"Reasonably requested" has a very different complexion to "requested".

Not an American lawyer, but on the face of it, it looks like an objective question (what a reasonable person would regard as reasonable, rather than what Amazon subjectively regards as reasonable). I could be wrong. It's ultimately up to a court.
> On the other hand, fuelling stations installing chargers might be seen as cannibalizing their own market.

It's probably better to cannibalize your own market share than have the revenue go to a competitor.

This has definitely happened, worldwide, and it's still happening. Crap mobile internet quotas, for example.

$1 “any size” soda at McDonald’s up to 40oz where I live, with free refills. Most everyone I know spent a good amount of their teen and early adulthoods surviving off of cheap food - fast food is incredibly convenient and as cheap as a healthy “struggle” meal of staples without a long time in a kitchen which you may not really have.
I can actually relate to that to be honest. I can't speak for OP, if it's about boredom/fun then it's very selffish. But it might be about making a difference there.

Because military, government etc. all deserve people who are in it for "the best" / purpose alone, especially if that's different from the motivation of the majority of people who join.

Actually, you can achieve 100% reliability with any kind or extent of downtime.

As long as downtime is expected and bounded, as long as the uptime planned period is actually up, you're at 100% reliability (but not 100% uptime).

Looking forward to meeting you.
It might help to gradually fix their behaviour by signalling that you will go to a competitor instead...maybe....
So, where? (Article stops at this)

Maybe they are drifting in space most of the times, and land on asteroids to quickly mine them? Why should be there even a slightest sign of them?This “we should see them” is based on assumptions from popscifi, but are they realistic? What if physics is mostly solved this time (or at least will not bring anything startrek-y anymore), and there is no way for an alien to broadcast to the universe or cross even tiniest its part in a meaningful time?
Apache also supports this, but the configuration is a bit tricky. For all my private websites, I have a setup where the Apache config filters requests based on the accepted encoding the client sends. For each file, I have three versions on disk: the raw file, a gzipped version, and a brotli-compressed version. Apache picks and sends the correct one. Not only is the file delivered faster, you can also use a higher compression level (gzip with compression level 9 is too slow to be used on each request).
Yes indeed. The names are relevant for communication (i.e. to become a part of a "discourse community" [1]), but are not indicative of one's competence at a topic. They kind of go hand in hand often due to arranged education, but that's not essential.

Names also come handy when you need to search for something and search engines are not powerful at taking your description of what you're searching for.

Yes, and since code is copyrightable, and API is code, the default is that APIs are copyrightable. What was decided that this reuse by Google was fair use (which might give precedent to similar issues, but in itself doesn’t mean that APIs would not be copyrightable)

Actually the sci-fi channel mini series of dune and children of dune is not bad considering the limitations of budget and 90s technology. Sticks pretty close to the books and gives more background for people to understand what is going on. Definitively worth a look.
OTOH with global replication, it should be possible to keep closer to 100% uptime running on solar. We would need continued cloudy weather globally to bring every solar powered server down at the same time.

Global replication could also give us more edge computing, which puts less load on global infrastructure (assuming good weather to use the nearest server), which in turn should be able to reduce resources consumption a bit more.

Am I doing something different than most? Admittedly, I don't use a 4k monitor. I would think you'd need to boost acceleration or scroll multiple times to get across the screen no matter the input. This also seems like an argument for the larger touchpads the author is complaining about.

resizing: I guess I'm not sure of the use case. In something like Maps, you just do the shrink/grow gesture multiple times. In photo apps I use a selection box, scale the window down and drag the corners are precise as I need. Maybe it's something I don't often do.

selecting: click and hold with my thumb, scroll down with index and middle finger or move cursor with my pointer. Or I click, scroll, then shift-click to select what I need.

drag and drop: click and hold with my thumb, drag the item by moving my index finger. You can left and drop your index finger as needed. Release thumb to drop.
I have no idea why I typed ANC instead of AU. But I'm not going to lie, it [0] does read a lot like Western Propaganda. The Yellow Peril trope, the Magical China-Tech (the Supermicro Magic Chips), the early morning uploads to Shanghai (those Chinese are playing the long game!)etc.

Generally, trusting Western media on Africa reporting is never a good idea. But at the end of the day, this, and Snowden's revelations show - if you don't make it, then you don't own it.
Honestly, the only books that can be ruined from the Wheel of Time are Sanderson's. I've started with the translations, which are the worst, and told myself that it can't be worst than Shanarra, so i ordered the english books (it was roughly ten years ago), and discovered that yes, it was indeed worst than Shanarra. I'd say even those 80's fantasy books that are obviously loosely based on a dnd campaign are better.

> Most cars will immediately stop if they see you’re about to cross the street. It takes some getting used to at first. Pedestrians are given first priority, a concept alien in India.

> But crossing streets is generally a huge pain: you can only do so along zebra crossings, which are always at signals, and you have to wait for the pedestrian signal to show the walking sign. (There are signals for pedestrians just as there are for cars.) At busy intersections, you sometimes have to wait for more than a minute to get to cross. I honestly prefer the “risk your life and cross from anywhere, anytime” model - it’s faster.

Heh, Dutch here, I'd like to regard the zebra as a safety net for those who cannot walk quick. The elder, but also people who are ill, during bad weather, or parents with small children (like myself). When I am alone and commute to work, YOLO, I will manage (and I do take some risks to ensure I make it to say a bus or train). But when I am with one or both of my small children then I really appreciate a feature like this.

Same with our legal responsibility cars have over bikes. Cars drive so much faster than 100 years ago (compare with "A Trip Down Market Street" from 1906).

When I am with my kids I try to follow the traffic laws by the rulebook because they learn from observation.

The included web UI is quite nice (they really should include a screenshot on the website), and setting up backups/remotes is very simple, everything is content addressed so you can just copy stuff without fear. Snapshots I suspect wouldn’t be too hard.

Differing Requirements for Expert and Non-Retained Witnesses
While non-retained witnesses require some disclosure, expert witnesses require far more. It may be challenging to compel an expert witness to testify, in part, because before an expert witness is deposed or testifies, the federal rules require the disclosure of a report. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26 (a) (2) (B) calls for the disclosure of a report including:

* A complete statement of all the opinions a witness plans to express, as well as the basis for the opinions, and the reasons supporting the opinions

* The facts or data relied on or considered when forming the opinion

* Exhibits the expert will use to support or summarize their findings

* Their qualifications and the last 10 years of their publications

* All other cases the witness testified as an expert, whether in trial or deposition

* A statement of compensation the expert has been or will be paid for the study and testimony in the case at hand

Obviously, it will be difficult, if not impossible, to obtain this information in a report from a non-compensated, unretained expert.
Boy, how much I hate that visual cancer.
> When one sibling is executing, the other must wait. SMT is useful because CPUs often go idle while waiting for events — usually the arrival of data from memory. While one CPU waits, the other can be executing

Is this accurate? I was under the impression SMT gains are not from running other threads when one is blocked (preemption is a old feature) but the processor having a multi stage pipeline so that the net number of instructions that are executed per cycle is more than 1 (closer to 2 in the above example)

"Title insurance" isn't much of a thing in the UK. I think this is because the Land Registry gives you something similar as part of the service. Random quote from the web, from the Law Society Gazette, no less: "We already have a land registry which provides a comprehensive guarantee of title backed by the state."

As for whether fraudulent sales should be reverted or not, I've been pondering the question since I read the story yesterday and come to the conclusion that it would be good to apply some common sense:

* Someone buys a house without looking at it, before or after the sale, as an investment because the price seems really attractive. It is then discovered that the owner, who is living in the house, was not involved in the "sale". Obviously they should revert the transfer of ownership and compensate the purchaser.

* Someone buys a field, gets planning permission, builds a house on it, and moves in. Ten years later it is discovered that the real owner of the field, a company in Dubai, was not involved in the "sale". Obviously the transfer should not be reverted and the involuntary seller should be compensated.
