You should reframe your argument minus the marginalizing of others.

Those people having an opinion is not the problem.

Neither is people disliking videos.

"The problem" boils down to corporate media having to actually compete on a non broadcast medium.

How something is presented matters.

Who presents it matters.

Whether comments are allowed matters.

Doing the work to understand why there are more dislikes than expected is a good answer to "the problem."

This is what new media savvy entities do, and guess what? They do not have dislike problems.

Old media is rooted in the broadcast mentality. They do not take feedback and they expect to be an authority.

And for decades now, they have abused all of that.

No comments, hiding dislikes is more of the same abuse and is not helpful.
> there are applications like long-haul jets and cement production where eliminating emissions isn't that easy.

I disagree, there's an easy solution to eliminating those emissions: have zero long-haul jets and zero cement production. Before this gets (inevitably) downvoted, the more interesting question is why do we need either, what alternatives are there, how fundamentally we're willing to question our biases and expectations over what counts as a necessity. If saving our environment is an overriding priority, then the extent of the compromises we have to make can be made clearer.
This is an awful, consumer hostile trend. I have a Bose sound bar that requires an app, account, and internet and blue tooth connection just to change the settings. Luckily it has a remote so I can use it without any of those things, but it can only change the volume and power the device on/off. I only kept it because the sound is good and it was a gift.
I don't see how we're going to use CO2 as energy again. It's not like the original hydrocarbons we dug up.

> Because they chose to do stunt work as a living, they should be expected to do them in an unsafe way?

No, did someone claim that? Stuntmen regularly decline to perform stunts they perceive to be too dangerous. It's part of their job to do risk evaluation and say yes or no.

> Only people who are willing to do things in unnecessarily dangerous ways should be stunt people?

Eh, yes, that's literally the definition of being a stuntman, you do things that are dangerous in place of someone else because you know how to manage the dangerous situation compared to the other non-educated (in dangerousness) person you're replacing for that scene.

> A perfectly reasonable solution is for the director to take their staff's safety into account and not risk people's lives for a movie.

Yes, agree! That's why there is a whole stunt team on set, not just the director and the stuntmen themselves. As a team they evaluate the stunts and stop them if they are too unsafe.

Unfortunately, every single stunt in the industry carries the risk of death, so if we want to be really safe, we simply cannot have action movies anymore at all.

I think there's definite limits to that. Like you can't expect to forever stay in Amsterdam center because you happen to live there now. Loads of others want your place and can contribute more. But it's not always the case. For example the outskirts of said city are deliberately underdeveloped because the zoning designation says so which is entirely a political choice to expel the poor.

I _recently_ suffered through a meeting where we developers were told to use the _new_ testing framework some team at our corp created. It's written in Java (we use .NET exclusively in our branch), configured via Excel sheets and Java, and exports results also as Excel sheets.

Most algorithm books don't cover the math like summations or generating functions.

I'm not recommending it for it's algorithms (which are unfortunately somewhat out of date). I'm recommending it because it's an incredible mathematics introduction, albeit a very difficult one.
It's not that useless. A lot of applications these days are really using HTTP. And in HTTP/1 if you read from a response body from the socket (or write it), you are really already using the backpressure from TCP instead of having anything on top of it. With HTTP/2 and /3 that's different due to mulitplexing of multiple streams on the same socket - in that case there exists the additional flow control windows on top of TCP. These actually make those protocols rather hard to implement correctly.
I've often heard this argument about YAML being "clean", but over time I have realized that they are conflating minimalism with cleaninless, when they are two different things. That realization is what it took for me to realize why I didn't like it. I did _not_ find it clean, I found it "messy" by virtue of the increased cognitive overhead. But it is minimal at least compared to other formats. Other formats appear cleaner to me.

My educated guess then is you could have gotten them to change "settings" in C, Java or basically anything.

Just put the file in the root folder, and keep it as simple as possible and you should be fine? I mean, if they manage to write yaml correctly and consistently C is no match?
Stay tuned for that one.
I don't think it's fair to put the onus on individual people to move everytime they're priced out of a market, especially a market that has been heavily manipulated to benefit the few via lower interest rates and poor zoning laws.

You could see this housing crisis coming from years out and the government did nothing but maintain low rates, block multi-unit zoning changes, and allow the wealthy and foreign investors to buy up housing.

The real issue is poor and inept leadership.

It's really sad to see the pervasiveness of JSON. For one thing its usage as a config file is disturbing. Config files need to have comments. Second, even as a data transfer format the lack of schema is even more disturbing. I really wish JSON didn't happen and now these malpractices are so widespread that it's hurting everyone.

But RAM is itself accessed in blocks. The process is hidden to software, but memory is always fetched in word-aligned blocks. It doesn't contradict your point, but just pointing out that even DRAM is pulled in chunks not unlike traditional drives (if you squint)

Interesting but you must also take care of the CPU caches..
But AppRunner also scales down to zero (albeit with reduced instead of zero billing).

So you’re going to side step towards “organizations that promote free speech”. And what, exactly, do those organizations recommend? What policies or actions do they support or take themselves?

After all, you’re saying you oppose “cancel culture”, surely that opposition has to take some form somewhere, right?

I've used Snowflake for the past few years, and it's worth pointing out that when it comes to overall cost, there's a lot you get with Snowflake for free. For example, they have HA across 3 AZs out of the box, included in the price and with no configuration required.

If I'm reading what Databricks published correctly, it seems that they've only used 1 driver node for this benchmark, in other words it's a dev setup. If they want to compare apples-to-apples then they should configure, and price, a multi-AZ HA set-up.

I'm not sure if this is still applicable to Photon, however - can anyone confirm?
you don't have to "worry" about wifi war driving per se - you just have to know that google already does it and likely sells that information to other companies. No need to worry except to know its likely already occurring.

And in terms of legality - you likely give them permission to do whatever they want in the terms and services you agree to on first boot, or install an app on your phone, etc. And you have no control of the TV's wifi - unless you hack the encryption or get direct access to the firmware you might never be able to tell whats going on. That's definitely beyond my capabilities.
Show HN: Luckynote – Message Yourself Notes, Bookmarks and Tasks
Hello everybody,

I’m honoured to share with you my app for quicker note taking, Luckynote.

Yes, I know the comments of new note taking popping up daily, but as a vivid note taker I have tried a lot of them and I haven’t found any that cover my needs fully, thus I decided to create one.

Luckynote is a note taking app that takes the shape of a messenger app. You’re sending yourself notes as messages. Imagine Telegram or WhatsApp but only for yourself. Every message is a note that is upgradable with url previews, files and images. Every message can be starred or made as a task and moved to the dedicated folder. The app comes with a browser extension which helps greatly with bookmarking. You can find out more in the video (mobile preview starts at 1:19)

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGFDymnTIbk

The goal of Luckynote was to satisfy my needs first, which I more than achieved, the second part is to see if it can help somebody else as well.I personally still use other note taking apps for other purposes, but most of my daily routine revolves around Luckynote. Of course the idea is to upgrade the app to cover those cases as well but that comes with time.

I hope you like it and will help you in your daily life.You can find the app on https://luckynote.io

It’s available as a Web and Mobile (iOS and Android) app and it comes with a browser extension.

If you have any ideas, suggestions or you want to join Beta testing, feel free to reach out to support@luckynote.io or just write a comment below.

Additionally please feel free to let me know how you feel regarding this video. Is it too long, do you understand the concept of the app, etc. I’m more than open to suggestions. :)

Cheers!
You just described nearly every parking lot in downtown Nashville.

Not to be outdone, they've taken it to a new level where three different companies own the same lot and you can only tell which company owns the lot by looking to see what color lines you are parked in. Park in the lot, but pay at the wrong kiosk or use the wrong app, you get an extra $50 boot added to your car.

Biologists do this as well. Once we encounter a new species, it's killed and then studied.

This is called a 'voucher specimen'. Obviously it's possible to make a species extinct if you kill the only one of it's kind, and the necessity of voucher specimens is a topic of debate amongst field biologists.
You're doing a incredibly bad job of seeming genuine.

YAML stands for "YAML Ain't Markup Language"
Right, but I personally don’t see a scenario where living on the street doesn’t trump every single one of those other factors.

In other words, anything that involves me living on the street is a complete non-starter, regardless of how compelling the other factors are.

I get that some people really don’t have the option to just move somewhere cheaper. But if that’s at all a possibility, it seems like that should be a no brainier
Not at all.

If it was code, an indentation error would often not compile or show errors or fail tests.

Configuration in YAML is much worse: most of the time an indentation error goes undetected until an application starts misbehaving.

Significant whitespace is perfectly ok for code but a huge footgun for YAML
100% correct. Many audio and synthesis algorithms, including mine, perform LOTS of iterated exponential or high-polynomial decays on variables, such as x <- x * 0.1, or x <- x * x or whatnot. These decays rapidly pull values to the denormal range and keep them there, never hitting zero. Depending on the CPU, this in turn forces everything to go into microcode or software emulation, producing a gigantic slowdown. There are other common cases as well.

The only way to get around this in languages like Java, which cannot flush to zero, is to vigilantly check the values and flush them to zero manually.

YAML is a superset of JSON.

Which means anything that accepts YAML accepts JSON.

So you can write your Github action code in JSON (with a yml file extension).
It really varies. Normally the author themselves has to come up with the money somehow though. At least where I've been, you can't just bill it to the university. If you have research grants, you can often pay out of those (this is common in the natural sciences). If you have some kind of general research budget you could pay out of that (e.g. I get $2k/yr unrestricted research money from my university... but I'm definitely not going to spend it on an APC!). Some universities do have an internal OA fund you can apply to, but those are often limited. For example, MIT will cover up to $1k per article for papers written by its faculty/staff/students: https://libraries.mit.edu/scholarly/publishing/oa-publishing...

> The whole 'Special Forces' fetishization is also pretty ridiculous. The best of the best of the best, la-dee-dah.

This is a pretty common misunderstanding by civilians. Special forces come in tiers and usually they're designated for certain kinds of work. It doesn't mean they're "best of the best", just special training that may or may not be useful in a place like Afghanistan. Historically they're used for training foreign fighters. From what I read in this article, this looks like work that line companies should have been doing.

> Oh, and the "Afghan Army Training Program" - at a cost of something like $10 billion to train and equip 350,000 Afghan Army members who'd be the nucleus of the new independent government...

I don't think that money went any conspicuous. I served in 2012, when a lot of that ANA training and colocation was going on. You're absolutely right that it was a failure. The problem was that the President was telling the American people things were going well, when in reality troops were getting shot in the back on patrol by their counterparts, people were deserting post while high on hash, and most ANA were paid over four years the equivalent of a dowery.

> Getting in bed with heroin-shipping warlords because they were anti-Taliban?

This was surprising to me when I was in country, but I get it. Most of these dudes are the equivalent of governors and own their own armies. They just didn't want to follow the Talibans rules, so "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." Quite complicated, but I don't know how it'd be different.

The jump from HD to UHD quadruples the number of pixels, the jump from 24 fps to 60 fps only increases framerate by a factor of 2.5. Not to mention that the panels in any old HD TV will happily work with a 60 fps signal via HDMI, while the upgrade to UHD requires a new TV.

Yes, more frames means more data, but it creates fewer problems than the 4k/UHD upgrade everyone willingly goes through, while doing more to increase fidelity.
> I think CGI is coming up on "effectively perfect"

Then why does it still look ... like CGI? I've seen several of the biggest budget productions from recent years, and it seems to me like CGI is not getting any better. Take buildings with debris destroyed in recent Marvel movies for example, or almost any scene in the last film in Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy, or even Dune, which I just saw in theaters. The CGI sandworms look like CGI.

> especially with the way it has gone from a post-production thing to becoming part of the world around the actors

I can agree with you on this point. The good / unnoticeable uses of CGI are to add background details around the actors, not replace action / stunts, and use as few digital models as possible (the models are still the weak point). Mad Max: Fury Road was the one film where I'd say the CGI approximates "perfection".
Here's my dream config language:

* start with JSON

* add comments (obviously)

* allow trailing commas (obviously)

* allow left-side and right-side to be independently and explicitly typed

* extensible type support (JSON's lack of u64 is absurd)

For example the following are all equivalent:

* "foo" : f32 = 13.37

* "bar" : f32 = "13.37"

* "baz" : f32 = 0x4155eb85 : hex

And extensibility to allow:

* "ham" : u64 = 123456789123

I would also be inclined to allow explicit config file hierarchy by allowing:

* configs can specify their base

* configs can specify their child

* must be acylic

I've thought about implementing this myself. But I've never written a real lexer or parser. It's on my side-project TODO list.
Which is more than a tad bit ironic, in retrospect.

iPod Touch (yes, Apple still sells them, starting at $199)? You’ll get a camera that’s worse than in a phone, though (8 megapixel) and ability to run lots of apps. I think you can remove or hide most of them, and configure it to disallow lots of things, though.

The lower quality camera likely will be the deal breaker.

I didn't know that, but it may be interesting for other users too. The double rainbow are very different of the supernumerary rainbows:

The double rainbow is caused by light that takes a different path inside the drops. (I've seen a few of them.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow#Double_rainbows

The supernumerary rainbows are caused by interference when the drops are too small, so they are more common with fog. (I never had seen them :( .) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow#Supernumerary_rainbows

So you prefer the "good old" XML days? I'll take comment-less JSON over XML any day

(and it doesn't have to be comment-less... JSON with comments is a thing and VSCode has syntax highlighting for it - just strip out the comments before parsing).
Page 13 prompts some questions. 128GB BDXL is positioned before the document's publishing year of 2015, but doesn't appear to have actually been released until 2017. The multi-TB discs extrapolated out to present day seem to still be vaporware. Why did advances in high-capacity bit-rot-resistant optical media apparently stall?
Okay, I'm surprised by this capacity and it looks really nice - it does not measure emissions, though, but at that resolution perhaps can be used to get a reasonable estimate of them.

However, I don't consider is plausible that major carbon-emitting countries will simply agree to sign a treaty in which they will owe a lot of money to others. Currently there have been only some proposals where there would be a financial incentive to trade increases or decreases in the emissions, or to implement financial incentives within a nation or region, where any penalties get paid back to your own budget/economy, and not to third world countries, and even those tend to have a hard time passing.

I simply don't consider it plausible that the nations will agree to any major wealth redistribution at a meaningful scale - they can agree to win-win solutions when getting some reasonable benefit or political consideration in return; they can agree to solutions where your problems get fixed and our balance is roughly neutral; they can agree to some charity/support in certain cases (which usually do come with some strings attached) in a limited amount, but not a wealth distribution so large that their own citizens would feel it in their wallets.

I also do not think that this will change as the world gets a bit more desperate - there is little overlap between the people and regions who will be the first to get desperate and motivated and the people whom you would want to convince to agree to pay.
