I looked at Foveon before, and got the impression that it still effectively relies on RGB separation/recombination, though in a more elegant way than Bayer sensors. (That said, Sigma’s doing some really cool stuff.)
disclosure: I hold an equity position in an end to end encrypted, trust on first use communications app, not really relevant to this conversation so no value in naming them.

I'm not terribly surprised at the number of services that have popped up in the last few years, but considering the sensitivity of the data (in many cases, info that most would consider to be some of our deepest feelings on a topic that we wouldn't want just anyone to hear about), I'm surprised at the lack of ventures working to distance themselves from the content of the conversations. It just feels like in this specific niche, protection of data would be a much bigger selling point than most others.

I'd imagine any suitably well-funded chat service with end to end encryption could fund a subsidiary venture to build out a therapy-focused implementation of such, and especially in the world of therapy, hand-written notes would probably be preferred anyway, so there shouldn't be much in the way of storage of data aside from directory data for individual users of the service and probably card transaction pointers to a third party processor, plus a handful of other bits that still shouldn't be anywhere near as compromising as actual contents of conversation.

Open to discussion on the topic. There's probably an angle I'm not seeing.
I have a friend who's a microbiologist and hanging out with him and his lab, "bug" is the preferred US slang term for any kind of microbe. In a more formal setting they'd be specific about the type of microbe. I don't think anyone is getting insects and microbes confused.
I really like Twinkly lights. You can 3D map lights on the christmas tree with your phone and then play with individually controllable RGBW light points. They are relatively cheap, even non-DIY people can buy and use them. It would be great if they provided some official API, but if you want to hack them, there are ways to do it: https://labs.f-secure.com/blog/twinkly-twinkly-little-star/

Don't the higher end car brands in your area do pickup/return service? BMW picks my car up from the office parking garage, changes oil or tires and returns it before the end of the day. All I have to do is pick a day in their online portal and leave the keys at he reception desk.

I very much prefer owning a car over renting because I can leave things in the car. Like child seats, but also extra clothes, diapers, a phone charger, some snacks etc.
It is stuff like this, where they take perfectly usable hardware and turn it into a paperweight that exposes the hypocrisy of any of their pro environment/green talk. The right thing to do would be to give us the option of uploading firmware that allows us to update settings etc. after that date like is done with older routers.

Over time I've forked different open source implementations where most of the code I am running at this point is custom. The nice thing about the blockchain is that you can see how other people are making money. The most important and difficult thing is probably finding an opportunity that is new enough and small enough to not yet have attracted bigger players.

I used to like it. About 10 years ago I went into consulting from home. I've developed much richer friendships outside of the office and like to go out in the evenings with them instead of coworkers. I've also become more engaged with my local technology/software community. It's nice to be able to lose a client or job and not worry about losing my friends.

YMMV.

So does going into an office 5 days a week, or even 2-3, for jobs that don't need to be in office, but no one says that. Maybe we could all agree that this will take a decade or more to shake out, and not just take the (little c) conservative view that we need to immediately cease remote work because of small issues of coordination? Eventually, something in the middle will become the new normal, but for now let's not try to force one thing or the other.
"End support" as used in the headline apparently means turning off various cloud and smartphone dependent features, which I think includes basically all management features. Software updates (including security patches) are already stopped, so any remaining users should plan to migrate to either new hardware or an alternative OS sooner rather than later.

That's a bit of a false dichotomy, though, because there also exists the group of people that are the intended audience for this feature that is so dreaded by this small minority. The large majority of users benefit from being made aware when an application is using their microphone as it helps them see whether that's being done without their consent. Apple could, in theory, put in a toggle to allow more seasoned users to choose to hide that function but then that toggle will just be used to compromise the whole point of the feature for the majority of their users.

Case in point, my mom is getting paranoid about this stuff after watching stuff on Netflix and CNN about how Facebook is "listening in" on her. I can easily just tell her to watch for the dot and know, with reasonable certainty, that she didn't install some app on her own that would hide that.

I don’t have the energy to revisit the arguments about Roman concrete that come up every time it is mentioned on HN. Needless to say, the notion that their “superior” method was “forgotten” is a massive oversimplification of what actually happened.

Another comment made my point better than I did - which was that Roman buildings that remained standing did so because they were useful for some purpose, often an alternative one (such as a church). It speaks to their value specifically as architecture and is mostly orthogonal to their construction techniques. There are plenty of old buildings (such as Hōryū-ji, Ruwanweli Maha Seya, Mousa Broch, etc) that don’t use any kind of magical construction techniques but have stuck around because of their value to the surrounding society and active efforts at preservation and/or repurposing.
Even without hard stats and evidence, I guarantee most people don't think of code review as mostly being about KT. The purpose(s) of code review commonly contain the ones you described, but it varies from team to team. The most common I'd guess is putting a 2nd pair of eyes on your code, checking code quality and finding issues.

If I had to guess Zoom is probably using the accessibility API to implement their remote control feature. I don't know enough about the other apps to guess why they need it, but dropbox needing accessibility permissions does sound strange.

yt-dlp is absolutely fantastic. It has all sorts of neat features and fixes too, like better support for bigger playlists and even SponsorBlock integration. Also they were super helpful whenever I had an issue and even added fixes or features after I opened them!
This makes me wonder. Obviously everyone in the world knows that USA operates a few dozen "stealth bombers" and has for the last couple decades, or so. Has any other country developed these kinds of aircrafts? Similarly, submarines. USA operates many stealth submarines as well. Does any other country operate stealth submarines?

I'm aware that USA spends about 1 tril a year on military stuff but these just seems bizarre to me.

Why doesn't the punitive government want to punish her for issuing a "false" rape charge and "smearing" China's name in the international scene? Is it because he did rape her, this recantation is a lie, and they just want the focus off this topic as soon as possible?
Police officers were murdered.

Could you defend this part of your claim with some links? You used the term "officers", which is clearly plural, and use the verb "murder", which has a specific legal meaning. I think this is one of the areas where people seem to be basing their views on different sets of facts. My belief is that despite some initial reporting, no police officers were killed by the crowd. To my knowledge, none of the rioters have been charged with murder, much less convicted.

Is your belief that multiple police officers were intentionally killed by rioters? I don't think this is true. While I'm eager to see anyone who participated in a violent attack on an officer thrown into jail for a very long time, my understanding is that only one officer died, and the coroner concluded that this was not because of any injury sustained in the event. If I'm wrong about this, I'd take it as a major sign that I misunderstand the events that took place. If you are wrong, I'd hope you'd take it as a similar sign that you should re-evalulate.

How scummy, not even a banner saying that support is ending.
Yes, it was what I feared, this to me is terrible news. I have experience with libraries running fake TS clones and then requiring an endless pile of type refactoring if you need to extend it in some way.

That said, I can understand one would want to use TypeScript and this in parallel, I just caution those going down this road that it is very easy to find yourself not really using TypeScript, and the second your TS doesn't compile with the official TS compiler, you are going to have upset users - and they might even be yourself! I for example quite liked ESBuild until I found situations where it didn't work, and then all those "instant" compiles were forgotten because I had to dig through esoteric, outside-of-my-expertise error messages and issues. Quick, type-safe hot reloading should be the target of course, but giving up type safety for speed is really not a good tradeoff.

> which was that Roman buildings that remained standing did so because they were useful for some purpose,

that's a fallacy.

A lot of buildings were useful back then, it wasn't easy to build them nor cheap.

But most of them collapsed, because they weren't strong enough.

You get roman buildings everywhere in Europe and Northern Africa, a lot of civilizations lived there in the past 40 centuries and their remains are scarce at best.

It is like saying that Amazon beat many other startups of its times because they got lucky, it's simply because their execution was better than the competition.
> He explains very well, and compellingly, how our programming languages are architecturally mismatched for writing GUIs.

I'm not sure I agree this was the takeaway. It does highlight that handling of concurrency is percieved as anathema to an algebraic perception of realtime processing by some. Just as one might say that programming languages are architecturally mismatched for writing a biological system, GUIs are a more constrained exercise of the same concepts. I believe this is largely related to a "distributed setting" and the "ongoing behavior" that Steele refers to.

(^4.3 paraphrased) GUIs are a set of small programmatic interactions that represent state manipulation.

Shortly thereafter:

> With interaction, state is essential in behaviors and the locality principle
would require that all code that changes it is grouped. That pushed researchers to propose programming patterns based on finite state machines, Statecharts or Petri nets, but: when using a computation-oriented language, the transitions are implemented as functions or methods and the principle of locality is not met;

Transitions (eg text fade-out) are not implemented as functions, as everyone knows. Transitions are performed concurrently alongside the state change. Losing control of the transition (or not being aware of it) by initiating a form of parallelism is not optimal to a developer who wants to maintain control, but is undeniably effective in performing the work. The fact that any module (say a label's fadeOut method) can behave concurrently at any time is a side-effect of information hiding, rather than a loss of main/subrouting empiricism. It does require a new set of concerns and architecture additions, rather than a full-blown teardown.

P.S. What I always found most interesting about that paper is the side-criticisms about encapsulation.

Why are Americans so hostile to the idea of being friends with coworkers? In Denmark it's pretty common to have a beer with coworkers on Fridays and have an annual "Christmas dinner" in December or January. Many workplaces also have an annual company party.
'how' sounds a bit wrong to me, too. But it's popular in the USA.
Is that really the technology capability that has been added? I'm not sure you can talk about decentralized Web3 without talking about blockchain.

I credit much of Web2 kicking off with AJAX, HTML5, and CSS3. Though many others would say it was lead by mobile.

My general thoughts, it isn't one thing, or just one technology. Even Web1 was a combination of TCP/IP, HTML, HTTP, and Mosaic/Netscape.

OnlyFans seems like such a late stage capitalism type creation. Our society has such high friction to new interactions, that the only way to chat with the opposite gender is through an elaborate service in which you only interact digitally. I wonder if OnlyFans would still exist with legal prostitution and more casual bars.
The article did bring up some ways modern concrete is superior in the shorter term:

"Among the biggest obstacles to wider adoption of the Roman recipe are its long curing time – it can take up to six months to reach full strength, compared to standard concrete's' 28 days – and lower strength (Perucchio said it's approximately 10 times weaker than modern concrete),"
It's capital. We simply don't have it, or it's not allocated to tech.

All these silly fees you mention are marginal. It would actually be much cheaper to hire devs from Europe, so cost is not the issue at all. It is simply a lack of capital altogether. Nor is there the risk taking that is required.

Europe has no VC.

I think it might depend on whether or not U.S. insurance companies are involved. If so HIPAA is a real liability as a company. For example, a former colleague worked at a high profile private research facility that had their HIPAA firewall breached and their entire department was fired. Assuming that chat logs on these apps could fall into that same class of data in the U.S., that's a huge amount of risk/liability as a company.

> There are plenty of old buildings (such as Hōryū-ji) that don’t use any kind of magical construction techniques but have stuck around because of their value to the surrounding society and active efforts at preservation and/or repurposing.

This is true, but rather misleading. Hōryū-ji burned down and is probably around 80-90% new material.

The Roman concrete structures on the other hand survived this long with their original construction materials.

Yup.

On average, sure. There's not really such a thing as an entry level engineering manager.

But in FAANG the majority of managers manage at least one SWE with more experience than them.

No it’s not; this thread is full of solutions that power users can apply to avoid or remove the orange dot.

Apple not taken anything away. What they have done is change a default. Since defaults matter most to the least savvy users, skewing defaults toward security makes sense. Power users can apply extra skill to change the default; that’s what makes them power users.
