An alternative explanation: those prior eras produced actual things, and those were capital intensive.

Upside risk on capital intensive industries is more variable and one would not expect all companies in the sector to go up. But now, in our glorious era of not producing things and outsourcing everything, we have FIRE industries that can only appreciate in value with monetary inflation.

And the reason why this very obvious connection between cost of capital and valuations will go unremarked is because SV and sites like this one have been chief contributors to this destruction of real value over the last two decades. The software tech dynamic of the 21st century will go down as the largest value capture in history.
Maple syrup does seem like a bit of an exaggerated Canadianism. If you grow up in the west you might have more of a kinship with berry syrups like saskatoon berry syrup than maple syrup.
Okay I'm still not sure if this is something to record streams for Twitch or something to have a Pi in front of your TV instead of a full PC. Either way, sounds like a configuration issue more than anything. I have processed 1080p 60Hz video with zero input lag on 15 year old 1.5GHz laptops. Higher end stuff should be as easy on modern hardware.

The way a (presumably non-vsynced) game normally outputs to a monitor is it generates new frames as fast as it can, and each time it instantaneously replaces the framebuffer with the latest frame. Meanwhile, the monitor is continuously scanning out the pixels in the framebuffer to the pixels from top to bottom. Therefore, it will output part of one frame at one point in the screen, then part of the next frame under it (above when the end of screen is reached), and so on.

I was going to give a solution but I just realized that if you have no control over scanout you literally will always have input lag and other strange problems. This is not a performance problem. You need to stream each frame from the computer (and each time a new frame is generated, redirect the stream to source from that new frame) to the Pi, compressing on the fly (never buffer a full frame), and the Pi needs to be able to stream this in parallel through the HDMI cable instead of merely writing stuff into a framebuffer. In such a setup, the input lag will merely be how long it takes for a single bit to go through from the computer to the TV. Not sure if there are good compressors for this (other than DSC), but literally the way this stuff is normally supposed to work is through high speed video connections, not a slow ethernet.

You went way beyond the acceptable limits in this thread. I've defended you in the past because I know you're in a tough minority position in this community, but you can't do this sort of flamewar on HN.

Also, it's seriously against HN's rules to use the site primarily to argue about one thing—especially when it's a political or nationalistic issue. We need you to stop doing that and to use HN as intended—for curious conversation about a variety of things.

Yes, because the movie industry has made it pretty hard to pirate. You can certainly do it but it's not nearly as easy as it was in the Napster days. Even the entire concept of a torrent is a lot for many people to grasp.
This pairs extremely well with dylan's Pure Bash/sh Bible [1], both, combined with admittedly way too many hours browsing random people's dotfiles can exponentially increase your skills with shells scripting.

Some tips of my own:

Adding `2>/dev/null` or `>/dev/null 2>&1`after most commands with expected or just plain useless output can make writing headless scripts very easy, it also comes in very handy when trying to shut up some basic utilities.

A handy function:

execute() {
pkill -x "$1"
{
sleep 0.1
"$@" &
}
} >/dev/null 2>&1

`set --` before running a command can be used to remove all excess whitespace (making parsing dead easy).

And last but not least always using printf instead of echo makes your scripts 1000x cooler :)

As an espresso snob, I'm going to go with a Breville Double Boiler machine. Many espresso machine snobs used to crap on Breville as being "consumer grade", but they really succeeded with their Double Boiler machines, especially their more recent models that make it easy to descale the boiler at home.

The BDB includes features that can cost literally 5X as much on Italian machines (stainless steel boilers, a preheating tube that pulls brew water through the steam boiler first, an electrically heated grouphead, etc.) but it still has fantastic temperature stability.

I completely agree with the point about Gaal. I honestly thought she was a pre-teen as the actress looks very young, so start the second episode with a sudden romance was very off-putting, as she looks so much younger than Raych. I wish they would have built up to that a bit.

I've enjoyed the show, but so far it's on the strength of Jared Harris as Hari Seldon and Lee Pace as Brother Day. The rest of the show is very forgettable and reminds me of low budget sci-fi "villain of the week" type shows.

Not OP, but sounds like they're using views for reads and functions (stored procs) for writes.

Idea is to insulate code from schema changes as much as possible. If the underlying schema changes, it's possible to sync the views/functions to those changes so the code itself isn't impacted, as it's just talking to the views and functions. Kind of an exposed interface to the DB.

It's not perfect, and some schema changes will invariably require code changes, but should be minimized.

There are pros and cons to this approach and I personally don't favor it, although I am aware of some shops that made it an absolute requirement--especially pre-ORM.

I am unaware of the specific verticals in which AWS is increasing their revenue growth; maybe they don’t go head the to head with Cloudflare there. For AWS to predate on pricing against Cloudflare would imply reducing the pricing for all existing customers too and that would be a significant amount of money left in the table.
Minor plug. Airspy had some very high quality SDR receivers and they do a Black Friday sale every year.

'Piracy' Website Offers NFC's as Free Downloads
The "ads" aren't even nearly as intrusive as the author (who works for Microsoft - a company whose operating system basically spies on you non-stop, including sending binaries you run to MS, command line commands, etc) suggests. They make it sound like using an iPhone means being constantly assailed with ads. That's not even remotely true.

I switched to iOS over a year ago. I don't use any of Apple's paid services. I tried Apple Music under their free three month trial; I was totally unimpressed with the featureset and deactivated it. I think in 6 months I've gotten two, maybe three notifications with offers to re-subscribe. The offers were more and more generous.

I use iTunes and Apple Pay, and I can't remember the last time I saw an ad. When I added my cards to Apple Pay, I saw the "sign up for Apple Card" button. I didn't give it more than a second thought, and Apple hasn't "said a word" about Apple Card since. That card, by the way, has one of the strictest personal-data-usage policies of any credit card in the US. They also do something no other CC company does: automatically rotate the CCV code every time the card is used in Apple Pay.

If Apple is so hell-bent on selling their services, why do they have the world's least-painful instant sharing tool that works without even a network connection or any additional apps? I can instantly send a contact, photo, file, whatever to someone else with an iPhone.

If Apple is so hell-bent on selling their services, why do they make it possible to, with one click, automatically and completely painlessly sync your music, photos, videos, and do complete device backups, over WiFi to a Mac or PC, no iCloud subscription required? You don't get pestered in any way when you click that button, by the way.

I use Nextcloud for file sync. It's very tightly integrated into Apple Files; I don't need iCloud for anything. Never get pestered to subscribe to it. Haven't seen an ad for iCloud, ever.

My phone does dictation offline, and if I were on a newer model, Siri would work offline too. The Photos app does some magic like showing me how many Damn Cat Photos I take, but it happens entirely on-device.

Apple lets you turn off all sorts of data collection that Android doesn't. You'll never see a screen like this in Android: https://support.apple.com/library/content/dam/edam/applecare...

Every single Apple-provided App has the same privacy controls as third party apps. Don't want Notes to use your location? Done. Don't want Maps using cellular data, for some reason? Done.

There's also stuff that's just straight-up bullshit. I've never seen an ad in the settings pages. When I bought my phone and synced it for the first time, my music was immediately visible, not "hidden" or blank like they suggest. iTunes isn't even "open" most of the time; I get in the car, iTunes starts playing, I interact with it via steering wheel controls or the lock screen controls.

The article is so bizarre. The author is a senior iOS developer for MS so they damn well know everything I just said; this blog entry seems to be purposefully misrepresenting how the OS behaves.
For the other ban, the fact that he called it a "muslim ban" and the specific countries that were picked is what made it racist and ineffective. It's hard to claim it's for security when they didn't include UAE, KSA, Egypt or Lebanon where the 9/11 hijackers were from [0]. It also happened to exclude all muslim countries where Trump has business in.

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijackers_in_the_September_11_...

So yes, it had no other purpose than being racist. Just like Trump didn't really care to use the time bought by the Chinese travel ban to actually develop tests or ramp up PPE. It always was a show rooted in xenophobia.

My back pain began at the tender age of 16. I have a few impinging discs in my lower back that “the cure (surgery) would be worse than the disease”. The only thing that has consistently made me feel better is high intensity workouts and core strength.

If a major purpose of the software is to show me ads, then it's adware. As a consumer, it doesn't make my experience any less crappy if those ads are for products from the same company that made the software.

It kind of pains me to say this, but I'll say Sonos from about 5-6 years ago. When I first got a couple speakers, I touted it as the best consumer electronics experience I'd ever had to except maybe some Apple products.

Unfortunately, it has been consistently downhill the past couple of years. What used to "just work" now constantly has issues and glitches, and speakers I got just a few years ago that work great are now essentially EOLed in their software. I've definitely purchased my last Sonos product.
So how do you interpret the results of this study? Patients who went through what you call "woo" did report less pain.
I have to say one of my new favorite tools as of this year is Tailscale.

To steal Apple's annoying marketing phrase: It just works. I've never had to fiddle with it's settings or spend a bunch time figuring out configuration crap. I just install, and login and that's it. There's no need to care about manually configuring Wireguard devices or to care about key management, which I would think would get annoying quick as you add in more and more devices.

Good spark support would be a good answer for batch/stream processing. I am a little scared of definition of support. Apache beam supports like 5 runners (flink, spark, data flow, etc) but the quality of runner support is extremely inconsistent. I’ve also noticed even for python flink sometimes have very useful operations only in Java with no wrapper. Although honestly having data pipelines in one language and downstream users of the data in a different language works pretty well in my experience so mixing data pipeline languages is somewhat ok.

What’s workflow orchestration choice? That’s main one you didn’t touch. My work area in on an ml training platform and a lot of my work can be described as wrapper work on kubeflow to allow dozens of other ml engineers to manage experiments/workflows. For python the main choices are kubeflow/airflow. Ray kind of but ray workflows are still quite new and missing a lot of useful features. I need some system to run hundreds of ml workflows (one workflow being like 5-10 tasks some short some long) per day and manage there tasks well.

Broader area also includes libraries like weights and biases, bento ml, etc (experimentation management libraries).

In theory you can have workflow manager in one language and workflow code in a different language. Main downside is it makes debugging locally workflows harder (breakpoints are a little sad across most language boundaries), but it is doable and we debated migrating to temporal (Java workflow system) before.

If your device supports it, I strongly encourage you to update. Aside from not getting security updates anymore, which places you at significant risk: the privacy settings in iOS 15 are very good. Even location privacy for system level stuff can be highly locked down.

This is a terrifying statement.
The word "new" in that phrase "interesting new phenomenon" doesn't mean recent, it means different—i.e. different from the sorts of stories that usually show up. For that, a book from 1892 can easily qualify, modulo how well known the book is.

Historical material has always been welcome here, just because it often is a meaningful diff from what people are used to. If we start to see a lot of Kropotkin threads, the diff value will disappear and then it won't be on topic anymore. Same goes for any unusual topic.

One very sinister outcome of measures to reduce road demand is that it unfairly impacts the lower and lower-middle classes. People who work in high-paying jobs wouldn't think twice about spending $10 on a road charge, but someone working minimum wage simply can't afford that on a daily commute. Carbon taxes are often subject to this criticism as well: if you tax everyone who uses a car, then the lower class simply can't afford to. Truckers and delivery workers still have to, though, because that's the job, and either the company, or, more likely, the consumers absorb the cost of any such taxes. On one hand, it would solve the problem as described, but on the other it would significantly impact the people who are the most sensitive to such impacts, economically speaking.

There is also, in the US at least, a strong argument to be made about Freedom of Movement. I don't know if it has ever been tried in court, but I would be interested to see the result of such a court case.
