My router is about the same age, and with a 200Mbs dl speed and ~20 devices attached (no more than 6-8 actually in active use at the same time) everything still works fine all these years later. No one every complains when a few of us are streaming video and someone starts downloading > 20GB Steam game-- the router adjusts, streams continue, Steam uses whatever is left over, etc.

it looks neat. so much to learn in this thread about satellite imagery and calculations.

it makes sense to use crowdsourcung to watch earth with real-time satellite imagery, and later augment it with machine learning to find potentially interesting objects.

I would be more excited with UFO findings, or a redbull base jumper, or proverbial superman/ironman flying.
“Deserve” is maybe a little too normative. Certainly they shouldn’t act all surprised pikachu when it happens though.
Yes it is to solve a shared problem. But it myst be a problem shared by the person paying the taxes, otherwise it’s simple extortion / social engineering

This is an interesting/illuminating comment, and it makes me wonder if some of this might be a personal bubble thing. I feel like I generally tend to have a better experience on mobile than other people describe, but I'm also running mobile adblockers, and more importantly, I also might just not be visiting all of the same sites as other people?

People complain about Reddit on mobile, and I totally agree, Reddit mobile is awful, but it's also a really small part of my life, I generally don't visit Reddit on a phone that often -- so it's easier for me to think about Reddit's mobile site(s) as being some kind of outlier?

My experience has been I read a lot of blogs on my phone, I do searches (that go through duckduckgo, which I don't really have a ton of complaints about as a mobile site), I look up quick pieces of information on the fly from random sites, I look at MDN documentation, trying to think what else...

I also spent a long time turning off Javascript entirely on my phone browser and I've only very recently started changing that practice (largely because of Gorhill deprecating uMatrix), which probably biases things even more, because a lot of the browsing I do on my phone works without Javascript, and that gets rid of a nontrivial number of annoying behaviors from more aggressive sites, and so I wonder if I'm just not giving the same amount of "credit" for HN not doing the Reddit bullcrap where it pops up a notification asking me to install an app, and that makes it easier to stare at the flaws.

If I was doing a lot of Reddit browsing on my phone, I would appreciate HN more on mobile, I will give people that HN is much better on mobile than Reddit.
Since the original 555 was developed in 1971, I'm wondering if the inventor[1] or Signetics, the company where he worked, would have made a similar physical mock-up in those days before electronic circuit simulation software existed.

I built an app for emotional journaling back around 2012 called iFeelio[0]. One of the reasons I've stopped working on it was the fear I had that it would get hacked. Despite having it be local-only (no permission to connect to the internet on Android) and using an encrypted database, I worried about nation-state/NSO-like hacking and how it could be much worse than WhatsApp or an encrypted messenger getting hacked.

That being said, seeing so many people create apps for emotions without taking such a a stringent approach frustrates me and has me thinking about revamping the app.

If anyone reading this is interested, please reach out to me at the email in my profile and I'd be glad to chat. Or just comment here and I'll reply :-)

I don’t see anything Objective-S can do that any other general purpose programming language can’t do. What am I missing?
What's even more interesting is if the author had ventured into mu-opioid agonists, those substances will make you happy to do work you didn't want to do before. Modification of task based dopamine response by mu-opioid agonists is a fascinating topic.

Modulating different signaling systems can vastly change our perspectives, whether good or bad is a different question. One that may not have objective answers.
Because Apple didn't do the wrong thing. The people just plugging their Macbook into a cinema projector and expecting their general-purpose desktop OS to work just like a cinema projector controller by default are doing the wrong thing. They simply don't understand what's going on.

As repeatedly said by many people, Apple is making a tradeoff between security and special-purpose requirements. If you have a special-purpose requirement, then make sure your tools are configured for that purpose. Don't whine that the general use-case doesn't fit it!

You'll see similar whining from web devs trying to make Chrome or Firefox "hide" the chrome and go full screen programmatically. That's fundamentally incompatible with end-user security and shouldn't be allowed, ever. Asking for it won't get you anywhere. If you need full screen control, use something like Electron, not a web browser. If you need full screen projector/screen output, use a tool/software appropriate for the job.
I know that when I was young, lack of interest is what kept me from voting, along with most everyone that I knew in the age range. I can't imagine things have changed all that much.

I think everyone needs to understand what they're voting for, which requires much more effort than habit, so I'm not sure that's a good goal (unless that understanding is part of the habit, of course, which isn't what I've seen).

Looking back, not only did I lack interest, but I was easily swayed by politicians, promising things that would never happen, and news, providing incomplete perspectives and half truths. I was young, living with my parents, and completely lacked perspective on the machine of the world. If I were to go back, I would stop myself from voting that young, because it was completely hollow. From what I've seen, younger people these days don't seem to be much different. Easiest proof being that they're shocked that they're not getting the campaign promises that they voted for.
That, and the on-going economic meltdown that's been going on since 2008. Desperate to make money? Look decent? Pull out your iPhone, take your clothes off, and kaching!

I guess in well-off countries like Finland, less girls are taking their clothes off and putting their bits online. Maybe I'm just not looking...

But yeah, it's an incredible confluence. Investment banks becoming unregulated, super big, and crashing the world economy, depressing the job market for a decade plus. Reality TV, social media, and "talent" shows promoting the "Get rich quick through fame" lifestyle. The broadcast camera and studio that fits in your pocket (thanks Steve). Everyone making some fortune out of the crypto-scam. A pandemic, lockdown and bailout money making a lot of horny guys with cash to spend: OnlyFans!

Feels like the Black Mirror episode "Fifteen Million Merits" (where everyone was trying to get into a talent show).
What does alpha channel mean in this context? Usually it means transparency but how would you take a picture of that?

I believe Google uses this same functionality when it gives you an estimate of how "busy" certain restaurants are. And anecdotally, it can feel like their estimates underestimate the crowds at expensive places were most people have iPhones and overestimate the crowds at cheap places where Android user propagate.

"Peace in our time" isn't from Ultron (originally). It's a quote from Prime Minister Chamberlain justifying his policy of appeasement towards Nazi Germany.
All Apple computers since ~2009 have had the webcam light on the same physical circuit as the webcam, such that one can not be powered up independently of the other.

PCs and third-party webcams are of course another matter...
The existence of a fast type-stripping compiler like swc just means that people would use `tsc` to only type-check, then use swc to compile to JS. The expectation being that the cost of invoking swc is outweighed by it being faster than tsc's emit and/or generating better output. TS is already designed around having the type-checking and the JS output be completely independent, so `tsc` cannot do a better job than an external compiler in regards to the quality of the generated code.

In other words, instead of `tsc` you run `tsc --noEmit && swc`

You still need to know about the actual types in the program, and you still need to run them through `tsc` first regardless of whether `swc` accepts them or not.

I ran a Asus ac-68u at home at home for years and was generally happy, but the speed bump from upgrading to a ax-86u has actually been very substantial even for ac devices.

BTW I’m using a mikrotik router, but I’m not sold on Ubiquiti for home use even though I’ve deployed plenty of them at our office - my impression is that while the management on them is nice and they may be better for handling large numbers of clients, the more high end home aps have long range external antennas and seem better at providing high speeds to a small number of devices. It’s hard to find many objective tests of that though…
The best move is to add cables where possible. I’ve got a slightly upper scale consumer mesh network (with Ethernet backhaul) for anything that moves, everything else is connected via cables (have to admit that I only had to draw one cable from the fiber outlet to the other side of the room where an Ethernet outlet was ready) and gigabit switches, both of them at a very low cost. I get almost the same speed and latency at any wired device as I do at the router, even though the cables going to the rooms are 10+ years old.

Unless you’re living out in the wild with no devices to interfere, speed and reliability will be well worth the effort and save a lot on ineffective Wi-Fi gear.

I don't have an IOT house, so I don't know how well they'll cope. That said, most IOT chips (eg. the famed ESP8266 and most variants of its successor, ESP32) seem to only support 802.11n, a standard from 2009. Therefore any benefits are probably not going to be gained by upgrading to an 802.11ac router. Newer routers might have beefier cpu/ram, but IOT devices are pretty low bandwidth, so I doubt they'll be taking up much cpu/ram to handle them.
The USA funds 22% of the UN anyways. That's not abnormal. We also fund a order of magnitude more of NATO (once you include the actual costs of soldiers, infrastructure, logistics, etc) then any other participant.

But I agree with the point - looking at the "signatories" - this seems to be mostly tax Americans more and give it to the UN, because Europeans think so.
I use containers in production and for local development dependencies but for exactly these reasons I run the application locally via the IDE like I always have, with the option to run it locally via Docker for the times I need to dip into making sure specific bits run there fine. So, I still have all those nice things.
"It’s not a crime, since the advertising includes OTA as a feature"

My car includes free service as a feature, that doesn't mean they can take off the wheels while I sleep and call it 'service'.

Similarly I don't think any reasonable person or judge will agree bricking a device is called 'update'.

u8 slices strike me as exactly the correct thing on the language level as well. In particular, it allows very straightforward zero-copy parsing/tokenization of strings. Most parsing of strings doesn't really need to know about UTF-8 and works correctly in the presence of non-ASCII codepoints.

String literally are not really UTF-8. Rather, zig source files are UTF-8 (by definition), and string literals are u8 literals; putting some UTF-8 between quotes just puts the literal UTF-8 encoded text into the literal because those are the bytes that are in the source file. In particular, string literals can contain arbitrary binary data and null bytes by way of \x00 escapes.

For Unicode handling there's some basic stuff in std.unicode (conversion between different UTF encodings, checking validity, decoding to codepoints etc.). This is used e.g. on Windows for checking filesystem paths. I don't general libraries of encodings is really that important today, iso-8859 and shift JIS might be useful sometimes, but everything else probably doesn't need to bloat up a standard library (iirc Python's codecs package, which contains dozens upon dozens of encodings, is like a third of the standard library by size).
I've switched from normal coffee to decaf and that's worked great. On caffeine I feel like I'm a bit on edge.

I also limit alcohol as well. Not very consistently, but I'll easily go a month without a drink or just have one or two every couple weeks.

What I've found though is that the drug habits flow into each other. If you drink one night, then the next day you'll feel like having caffeine to give you a bit of a boost and make you feel better. It's in these times that you have to resist the urge - otherwise you'll be back on that caffeine wagon.

Doing exercise is also really helpful. I'll actively avoid alcohol the night before or after a workout. I've read that even a small amount of alcohol can negatively affect muscle gain, which is a great incentive not to drink around your workouts!
Since you're on HN you're probably more intelligent and somewhat more disciplined than the general population. I doubt that what works for you would scale to the population at large.

> Addiction happens "slowly, then all at once" and recognizing that and knowing the early warning signs helps.

There are different types of addicts and it is hard to know in advance if you are one of the more at risk types or what will trigger you to become one. I don't particularly care if people do drugs, but it seems like common sense that exposing more people to drugs will increase the number of addicts.
None of the people who entered the Capitol were armed, at least according to the charges brought by prosecutors (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_charges_in_the_2021_U...), and the only person shot that day was a rioter. I don't blame you for having misconceptions though, legacy media coverage of this topic has been absolutely abysmal.

> This seems like a very strange model for taxes

It’s been the basis of taxes for all time.

You pay taxes because someone with guns tells you to. In return they try to protect you, such that you keep paying them.

Beyond that, you probably wouldn’t pay taxes. You’d buy something. It would be much more efficient to buy some shared solution to a problem, as opposed to let someone take your money by force to solve some problem that may or may not impact you.
The above is not true. It was not speaking to each other that caused world war 2. It was Mr. Chamberlain talking to Mr. Hitler and believing him that caused the problem.

It was also the League of Nations failing to live up to it's principles when Japan invaded Manchuria.

The UN was a dream to try and resolve things in a multi-laterial world, and sometimes early on was effective (See Korea). after the debacle of the Korean War (Moscow boycotting rather then using their veto), the progress in the cold war was almost always bilateral. (not always though).

In it's current form, it's useful - but I think the WTO / World Bank and the Red Hotlines have been far more useful.

I can understand having setup a company inside an EU country, but the lesson I got as a developer is that I need to think bigger if you want to have a sustainable business. You can build and validate startup ideas very cheaply by either using budget hosting, or trials of cloud products. EU companies often have to go down the path of consulting part-time, or building the product for one customer who covers most costs with the goal of extracting V2 as a general product.

Developers can have a very idea idea of cost management and what is valuable. They may be either blowing their employer's money on inefficient AWS solutions, or they are building their own k8s cluster on cheap VPSes because they felt that the managed solutions were expensive. It's an easy trap to fall into. You need to have a balance that is sustainable and productive. It was much easier to understand the whole space when we were building on LAMP or Ruby-on-Rails than it is now.

It's best to have a partner who is very business-savvy to help with navigating these options. If you only look at it from the tech perspective you'll fail quickly.

It's also just kind of the natural outcome of any company that has literally thousands of "product" lines. Some work, some don't, and some become less and less important to support over time for a myriad of different reasons.

Small businesses with fewer products are arguably more incentivized to ensure each product lasts long-term, but it's not uncommon to see them moving on from product to product, too. They just have far fewer in total to see "Google ends yet another product!"-esque headlines about.
military spending needs to go down, but social spending needs to go down as well. Last I checked social spending dwarfed military spending and I can only assume a big chunk of it is as wasteful as military spending.

I actually appreciate the introduction of additional axis into the discussion, as I feel it helps cure that sort of dichotomic, tribalistic thinking. No model is perfect, but better to have a dozen different arbitrary dimensions of ideological spectra than just one. It's certainly a better model of reality than the strict left/right dichotomy that dominates modern political discourse.
It's certainly not going to be perceptually lossless for every image, but good compressors can do pretty well. There's a big difference in quality between good compressors and bad ones. Newer formats like ASTC have better quality but are more complex. ASTC has the advantage of selectable compression ratio from 8 bits per pixel down to 0.89 bits per pixel.

> I google a lot in my job as well, but one thing I’m trying to do is reduce the number of repetitive searches I do and remembering what to do afterwards. I think part of personal development is learning how to do something and not relying on google or any other reference because as we’re all aware they’re will be a time when stack overflow or GitHub goes down.

For me, it really helps to blog with code snippets, annotations and full explanations.

I use git diff > iteration123.patch then copy-paste to OneNote along with a quick summary of my thought process.

It really helps me to retain what I've learned (and it reassures me that I can account for how I'm spending the considerable self-learning time I'm being given during my current internship)
