Has anyone attempted to sue Google in small claims? For smaller annoyances like losing access to email and/or having a video removed this seems like it might be an option to increase the cost of improper take-downs? That said, not a lawyer and Google probably has a strong case around being a private platform with sole authority to remove content.
What they are describing is presbyopia. It's caused by the hardening of your lens as you age that makes it less able to change shape to focus on close-up things.

No fix that I'm aware of but there are work-arounds:

1) For people that already wear glasses, use bifocal/trifocal/progressive lenses

2) For people that don't wear corrective lenses, use "reading glasses" and constantly put them on and take them off as you switch between looking at close/distant things.

For contact lens wearers, there are some options:

1) Bifocal contact lenses. These gave me a constant headache.

2) Monovision. Essentially one eye tuned to distance and one tuned to close-up. I could not get used to this.

There are some surgery options but really only to give you something like monovision through surgery instead of contacts. Unfortunately there's no fix for the root problem that I am aware of.
My local grocer was bought out by a competitor 2 miles away. They figured that most of the customers would shop at the 2 mile away store instead of the 2.7 mile away supermarket. They closed the store and maintained the lease. They were willing to sublease to anyone as long as they weren't a grocery store. With the lack of an anchoring grocery store, the small stores around it died.

> I wholeheartedly do not believe in making aircraft safety a democratic process.

But if I read you correctly ("society's ability to change politics") ... this is how the US got things like January 6th.

It's completely destabilizing for a functioning democracy when relatively small groups of like-minded people can coordinate over private channels and rally themselves into something crazy.

The reason politics "works" (and I use that term lightly these days) in this country are because things are all done out in the open.

If you don't like "snooping" and would prefer our politics be done in the dark ... that isn't freedom, that's back-channel politics. We don't want that, I don't care if the left or the right is doing it.

I am actually in favor of E2E encrypted chats and the like. But we need to keep politics out in the light of day. If you want to change the system, run for office.
Yes - the list on https://wiki.analog.com/linux is a consolidated list:
- ADI devices (there is only one ADI, when a company is acquired, they are integrated - the group inside ADI that writes drivers doesn't care what the part prefix is)
- internal ADI development and upstreamed/mainlined drivers that have been done by our customers / other contributors

It was done this way to try to make it easier for people to find the drivers, rather than rolling through kernel source. The Majority of the drivers are upstream (including the ones ADI writes), or are in process of going upstream, but some drivers - because of their development flow - will never meet upstream kernel coding guidelines.

[Disclaimer - I work at ADI].

No. There has to be a cutoff. "any device age" includes my old HTC Desire HD. And it's downright stupid to optimise for it unless you have a very good reason.

Some features are too practical not to use. And some features are next to impossible to enhance progressively without introducing more bloat. There's not really a gradient between "no wheel" and "wheel".

If that Desire HD is not part of your target audience then there's no reason to pay the price to optimise for it.
The government does nothing for several reasons. 1) People prefer Walmart and Amazon to driving down town to some mom and pop store. 2) Walmart and Amazon do provide jobs (the quality is questionable) and the government needs its citizens to have jobs. 3) Although people may have lower wages, the economies of scale give people greater buying power. Stores downtown need to pay rent and heat and carry inventory. The money for that needs to come from somewhere.

That being said, the SEC and FTC need to start doing their jobs. They have failed us in the 21st century. We need to rollback all these mega-mergers and stop allowing them to move forward, not just in tech but also in banks and media.

If what we care about is latency (and the difference between client and server), why would you plot latency on the x-axis (which by convention is the independent variable).

Rotate the axes -- then it becomes obvious that some fraction of the time, the differences between client and server wait times grows large. Don't make the viewer have to figure out that what matters is the distance on the x-axis. Put the thing you want to focus on/minimize on the y-axis where it belongs.

That saying is meant for commercialized products obviously. But it's still kind of true if you stretch it to FOSS software, the allegory would be that you pay for it with your time (by fixing/bringing attention to bugs) rather than directly profiting the devs.
> box tickers, who create the appearance that something useful is being done when it is not, e.g., survey administrators, in-house magazine journalists, corporate compliance officers, quality service managers;

IDK, I think these sort of workers provide value too. Some industries need QA (quality service manager), or else we'd see a lot more shoddy production across the board. Compliance officers provide a defense against fees/fines incurred by violations of law/policy. Survey administrators ensure the quality of survey collection via planning/organizing/QAing. In-house magazine journalists... well it depends on the company, but some company blogs are actually entertaining/useful. I always kind of hated the Graeber book because it's ultimately just a value judgement that people could be doing something better with their time... which is probably true... in a perfect world? But until then, the occasional corp blog post keeps me from bashing my head in on Monday morning :)

One of the main points would be to reduce eye strain during the time you use the monitor:

- most important make sure the light conditions in your room are good, no light source directly shining on the monitor, no light source directly shining from behind the monitor. That can be hard or even outright impossible to setup in some rooms, most smaller companies I had been in get this wrong. Worst the perfect desk positioning might change depending on the time of the year you are in, due to changing angles of the sun (at least in more northern countries). For me as a slightly more then usual light sensitive person this is probably the biggest point).

- then proper monitor setup

- choose readable font sizes

- make sure your font/UI is rendered clear (which in case of wayland + non scarlar scaling is often not given, it's an health issue and completely ridiculous)

- blink, from time to time move your eys focus thinks far away and then think close away

- drink enough and eat healthy, it can affect tear production, which can affect the health of your eyes

- make sure the air is not too dry (in winter) if you have issues with tear production

The fragmentation about Ubiquiti devices drives me crazy - I have the "wrong" consumer wifi AP or the "wrong" (pro)consumer router (take your pick), so half of the wifi AP functionality is disabled - but for no reasonable reason - just they have two (more?) product lines that don't work together and it's hard to realize until you get the products. Overall I've been pretty disappointed by my Ubiquiti hardware - I feel like it was advertised as higher performance and better functionality than it ended up being.

> Can someone give me an elevator-pitch for Zig?

The main page ziglang.com makes a good job at that:

A simple language:
* No hidden control flow.
* No hidden memory allocations.
* No preprocessor, no macros.

Compile time goodness:
* Call any function at compile-time.
* Manipulate types as values without runtime overhead.
* Comptime emulates the target architecture.

Close to C and C++:
* Use Zig as a zero-dependency, drop-in C/C++ compiler
that supports cross-compilation out-of-the-box.
* Add a Zig compilation unit to C/C++ projects;
cross-language LTO is enabled by default.

Ask HN: Running production server on M1 mini?
We have a performance intensive application running on a AMD Epyc dedicated instance with 32 cores (our application is highly parallelizable)

We just noticed locally on our dev environment that our M1 is actually performing better performance wise (don’t ask me how).

We are now considering switching our production servers to M1 minis which is also offered by our cloud provider. Do you have any experience on running M1s / Mac in an production environment regarding stability / uptime etc?

Edit: it’s a Rust application which uses the Rayon crate. The application gets on average one request a minute which crunches some numbers for an average of 2 seconds - so it’s mostly idle. No disk IO.

> If the government should do anything its invest in a same-day/next-day shipping infrastructure that can be used by any business (say, via the post office or maybe a new package logistics agency).

Trend for half a decade has been to push private companies to fill the gaps and why the rise of DHL etc a few decades back. For any goverment to go against that grain would be a very expensive nightmare, even without the social and buisness politics.

Besides, if any western goverment had a service that good, the push to break it up would be emence and that's even presuming that such a service could be run cost effective to make it appealing.

I'm struggling to think of any country that has anything comparable and drawing a blank. Though mindful that the costs of shipping from china, sure do seem to be a huge factor in helping buisness's operate there. I've had items that have shipped from China to the UK at a price in which would just cover the packaging and to ship the same item using the UK postal service, just across the road would of cost me more than the item and postage.

In many ways Amazon do open their services to others, though to do that you have to operate from their sales store and as we have seen with mobile app stores - you can drag things on for ages, even with blatant issues.

> Homemade system that is not in any way publishable.

I can still access all the photos I took since around 2008, when I first started to nurture an interest in photography as a hobby. I never delete b-rolls unless they're absolute crap (i.e., I triggered with my lens cap on, too dark with no flash---blurry, out-of-focus shots do not count as absolute crap).

I also manage it with a homemade system! This system is closer to my darkest shame than proudest achievement. It kinda reminds me of Destin's pre-Linus-organized system[1] except way smaller and a few scripts more sophisticated (my system has redundancy, ha!). Despite that, I have maintained access despite moving across continents.

In fact, last year, slightly spurred on by the pandemic situation, a bunch of friends asked me if I still have copies of photographs I took years prior. The oldest query was only for 4-5 years ago but I am proud to say that I was able to oblige despite my shameful system.

Kids, don't do this in prod, but homemade systems FTW! :)

> Allocate in advance, reuse allocated memory.

In practice, almost all real-time systems use this strategy, even going so far as to allocate all memory at compile time. The first versions of Virgil (I and II) used this strategy and compiled to C.

When doing this, the whole debate of memory safe (automatic) vs unsafe (manual) is completely orthogonal.

Former Lyft CFO Roberts Joins Crypto Startup OpenSea
Just because something is "begging for automation" means automating it is easy or even just viable. You'll always need human QA, so at this point the question is merely "how can tests reduce the load for manual QA while keeping manual QA good at the parts we can't automate". Game testing is a lot like UI testing in other apps that way.

And then in reverse, are the automatic tests worth the maintenance effort if a human is going to try anyways and notice quickly? IMHO that's the part where many people underestimate them, but getting the balance right is still hard.

EDIT: of course its biased, but its interesting to think through bugs you encounter in games and how you'd catch them with tests. I feel often its more on the level of fuzzing than traditional tests that could catch these things, or it is visual issues that are very hard to automatically find.
