What value would Steam provide over the Play Store? And also, I'm pretty sure Epic has some kind of store/launcher for Android, since they're butting heads with the mobile OS vendors about in-app-payment store-cut.
The jerky/jittery control inputs are interesting to me, I've noticed them or heard people mention them on several of these videos.

Makes me wonder why there wouldn't be some sort of smoothing function applied...to ensure nothing is in the way to modulate emergency maneuvers? Just really weird seeing the steering wheel snapping side to side and the car getting on and off the accelerator so quickly. I had the same thought about the "streetscape around you" display on the dashboard when I test drove a Model 3 a few months ago, things it was detecting nearby kept bouncing and jittering around. Just kind of unsettling.
There’s another one of these dashboards linked which specifies JIRA as the only change management issue tracker.

That’s scary.

Seems like this isn’t really saying anything. But maybe useful to find things to look at further?

I suppose it is technically true that we don't call commercial television "free television" but TV broadcasters don't really establish any terms and conditions. Informally, I think they say they are a free service in PR interactions from time to time.

Shouldn't it really be more significant when a company takes payment but continues to also monetize ads. I.e. not disclosing the money made from product placements in a movie in a ticket purchase is a specific fraud relating to a transaction with a measurable cost.

I had the opportunity a while back to drive a 1970s Buick that was entirely analog. It had none of the bells and whistles that modern vehicles have. It didn't even have fuel injection. The experience was revelatory! It was like taking a powerful drug for the first time. The car felt like an extension of my mind and body, whereas modern vehicles make me feel like I'm inhabiting someone else's world.

These arrests would absolutely not have happened without US pressure.
It was already a multi-tier subscription service.

With 12$ grandfathered tier offering the most. Then having crappy lite tier, that is access to some DRM-Free games and 10% discount. A 15$ tier which allowed you to choose 3 games of 9-12 with 20% and 20$ tier which at the beginning offered single game less than grandfathered classic tier. Later they moved giving all the games to 12 and 20 dollar tiers.

I would say going from 4 prices to one is simplification.
I'd really like to do the same, although the lack of healthcare in the USA makes me hesitant. I'll probably do it anyways and just roll the dice, but hoping things change here soon.
So, my take is that depending on canonical encodings in security protocols is a mistake. What one ends up doing is something like:

- "hmm, I've a decoded struct here, and a signature of its original encoding, and I have to validate that signature somehow... what do I do??"

- and then "ah, I know! I'll re-encode that struct and then I can validate the signature!!1!",

- but now you need a canonical encoding ruleset, otherwise if the signer had any liberties at all in the encoding, you will have interoperability problems!

And it turns out that specifying and -worse- implementing canonical encodings can be hard. Think of a canonical JSON... Let's say you have a JSON encoder lying around, and now you need to make it emit canonical JSON. You start by eliminating interstitial whitespace and you are ready to declare victory when you notice that you still need a canonical encoding of numbers, and also strings! Ok, now you have less-obvious design choices to make. Worse, adjusting your floating point number printer to emit canonical numbers turns out to be really hard, and there are a lot of traps in doing that. So maybe you decide you're going to limit yourself to integers. And it's all like this.

There is a better answer. The Heimdal ASN.1 compiler has a --preserve-binary=TYPE option where you can say that you want the decoder to preserve the original encoding of the give TYPE(s) so that you can validate signatures later. The way this works is that for each such TYPE, the compiler adds a `_save` field that has a copy of the encoding of that type as it was seen by the decoder.

I'm with Stephen Kent on this. I don't like the OpenSSH certificate format, for example -- it's missing important things and it's not that much simpler than the PKIX certificate format. The OpenSSH certificate format is much less bloaty than the PKIX one because PKIX uses DER and OpenSSH doesn't -- but so what, one could simply use an OER encoding of PKIX certificates and get the same de-bloating benefit with much less churn to existing codebases.
I think what you are suggesting is often done using browser extensions. It's obviously not independent of the browser, but it serves this use case where you want to extend existing apps adding interactive features.

> Even before the steady state is achieved, there is an energy-transferring chain of physical cause-and-effect that is moving (at limited speed, ~c) along the wire (but not all around the wire loop yet)... [my emphasis.]

Well, yes, that's one of the points being made in the original video!

> At the same, time, there is a different, smaller electric field "leaking" through the air/void in a straight line from the battery to everywhere else, which will reach the lightbulb much sooner in the original configuration, and of course this is also carrying some energy.

Well, yes, that is one of the other points being made in the original video!

And those effects are not so small as to be trivial - check out the numbers in the example I have provided.

Sound is rather different than EM, so one should be careful in arguing from analogies, even if it seems to give the correct answer. Why not just go with the very well-established EM formulae for this situation?

in your other reply (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29935760) you are essentially saying of course this is all correct! - but the mere fact that this video prompted half a dozen or more videos in response (of wildly varying quality - some of them are laden with non-sequiturs about what would happen in different experiments) indicates that a nontrivial point is being made here, that seems counterintuitive for many people.

Given that you are confirming the main points of the video, it is not clear to me why you would call it "extremely misleading, if not technically wrong." In your other reply, you claim that Veritasium is deliberately obscure, but it is not clear to me that one can even make much of a case for him being accidentally less straightforward than he could have been, from this evidence.

Does the math here make zero sense?
If you have 91% windows and 9% mac, and linux users suddenly surge, how do you end up at 4.5% mac, 4.5% linux, and 91% windows users still? The only way that makes sense is if the mac users converted to linux. Otherwise this would almost seem to be in favour of windows users since they're relative userbase increases enough to outset surges in linux power users onboarding? With the ten friends narrative 91 windows users, 9 mac users, into 91 windows users, 9 mac users, 9 linux users would not result in a pro-windows numbers.
Also the notion that linux users "DEFINITELY" want to game on linux seems not entirely based in facts or references to anything. I've used Mac/Linux for the entirety of my highschool, college, and career time. Interacted with plenty. I've never felt if suddenly a store widely supported linux/mac there'd be a surge of new adoption. I've gamed on Linux for a long time (and many times games run under wine/proton work better than windows which is awesome!), but I also game on windows equally, as do my peers without issue or complaint.

Secondly that second point seems entirely vengeful and needless. If one of my linux using friends said as such to me I'd think they were being overly rude and spiteful, but worst of all I think such habits taints the view of developers and maintainers about the userbases. Why would developers want to support a userbase (if indeed the linux userbase all felt this way which I believe they do not) who would " badmouth it whenever the subject comes up" simply because they received a recommendation from their friend(?) that didn't support their preferred operating system? Also "maybe I'll buy a Mac tomorrow?" seems disconnected from reality by and large.

Finally virality and clout are absolutely documented. Is that not the premise of... every single social media platform these days? Every algorithmic recommendation engine is trying to represent virality and clout, since those terms directly tie in to user views, and thus profits!

"Consumers have the option of choosing from two models of power generation. In the first model, the energy generated is fed into the grid for 25 years and 10 per cent of the energy is given to the premises owner. In the second model, the energy generated is sold to the consumer at a fixed tariff for 25 years. In both models, the total cost of the installation is borne by KSEB, while the premise owner gives the rooftop for installation. "

This is only necessary for single-product companies. Otherwise, just do mandatory career broadening assignments like the military does. You have to learn about and work on many parts of many stacks and regularly change teams and product lines. There is no need to fire people to keep them working in one position forever and building fiefdoms.

Heck, militaries even have interbranch and even international exchange programs. There is no reason in principle companies can't do the same and temporarily trade out employees every now and again to learn how things work elsewhere. It would have to be subject to pretty strict NDAs and limitation of sensitive data access, but given the sensitivity of classified defense data, if the military can make it work, private companies should be able to make it work, too.

> There's a libertarian-socialist horseshoe on age of consent laws.

Not really.

First, because “libertarian” and “socialist” aren't opposing poles (libertarian socialism is a thing), and, second, because non-libertarian socialists aren't particularly against (or for reducing the age set in) age of consent laws. And, third, even anarchists, who are the polar extreme of libertarian socialist tend to support age of consent laws, there only consistent opposition to current ones is, as with other laws of current societies, objection to the structural basis on which they are made and enforced, content of the laws aside.

EDIT: Similar things may also be true of libertarians not being as anti-age-of-consent as portrayed as I have noted about socialists; I have had somewhat more contact with broad leftist communities than broad libertarian ones outside of their overlap, so I may be more susceptible to misestimating the prevalence of certain views in the libertarian community because they are highly visible when espoused because of how transgressive they are.

Now that it has been demonstrated that your original argument has no legs to stand on you retreat to some hypothetical what-if involving popularity and two extra decades. So what if someone manages to argue against that? Will you just add 100+ million users and 50 years?

Of course culture matters. It isn’t just a side-effect of popularity. Would Scala have the same culture as Java if it became simiarily popular? I doubt it.

Rust has a culture—and it comes from a wider culture of the same ilk—where such messy shortcuts are not taken; instead “fancy language features” (much to some people’s chagrin…) like compile-time evaluation are used to make safer user interfaces for programmers. And that makes for less catastrophically buggy software.
Loki: Games That Linux People Play (2002)
I sometimes tend to let my phone fall into the nook of where my pinky finger meets my hand, when I want to hold it near-vertically/upright. I can agree that this doesn't really work well long-term, it's much more comfortable to hold it flat since it's less likely to simply fall out of my hand (...) that way.

I occasionally brace my index finger against the top edge of the display; this used to work great on my Note 3 with its giant bezel (particularly at the top), my current Mate 20 Pro's notched edge-to-edge screen doesn't play well with this though :(

The device referred to in the article gave me the idea to buy/make such a lightweight device with which you can surf the Internet, chat via XMPP, use e-mail, but at the same time receive calls and SMS. Also the device needs to run for a long time (ARM?) Sounds like something that can be done on a Raspberry Pi, but I'm not sure. It would be a good replacement for the phone, to be honest. It would be possible, of course, to take a simple phone for calls and SMS, but I recently read an article about the fact that such phones can have backdoors. In general, it would be cool to refuse calls completely, but unfortunately there are people who do not have other options. Besides, I go to places where the Internet does not work. In general, are there such devices in the real world that meet the above requirements?
The implication of the article, though, is that eventually the regime will end, and the structural factors that force the US in trade deficits will end. This will allow the dollar to finally be devalued, and the value of exports to rise, resetting the ability for the US to build its industrial base.

Also, the notion that domestic knowledge on how to build things like chips has been gutted is just flat out false. Intel is still close to the cutting edge in chip fabrication, they just aren’t #1 anymore.

> > We have no idea what crates.io thinks it makes sense to require javascript to look up packages but here we are.

>I've had a similar experience with crates.io:

They do have an API (ps: I built crates.live on top of it). I think they have a very good reasons to block the crawling of their main website. Otherwise, people might abuse it. Actually, they recommend you identify yourself when crawling their API to not limit you. I didn't do it, and found no problem constantly calling their APIs.
Just talked on a slack about this. I strongly dislike htmx since it creates a DSL where there wasn't one needed. I think in general if you don't need to build custom behavior (which a SPA enables) then going pure SSR (without any of these) is a good way. If you need custom behavior then these solutions probably won't be enough. To me it feels like a very small slice that needs these solutions but still don't need a "more full JS frontend".

An example of the DSL in htmx I mentioned (from https://htmx.org/docs/#validation):

<form hx-post="/test">
<input _="on htmx:validation:validate
if my.value != 'foo'
call me.setCustomValidity('Please enter the value foo')
else
call me.setCustomValidity('')"
name="example">
</form>

To me this reinvents a subset of js (and compiles it down to js), event handlers, etc. If you just need some inline behavior just use the on* attributes that are in html and if you need more then write a js file and if you need even more use a framework.
I some sense the way you phrase your question shows how broken incentives in science are.

The obvious answer for science is: publish. The goal of science should be to make it easy for others to reproduce your work. Not to make it theoretically possible, but hard, because of the "competitive advantage".

The right thing to do would be to publish and next time you review another paper that does not publish code use that as a reason to reject it. The whole "code and data upon request" is obvious bullshit, there have been studies on it and often enough it ends up with "well, we don't have that code/data any more", "why do you need that? we won't help you plan to publish something we don't like" etc. pp.
I have a laptop from 2009 or 2010 running at 800 mhz with a 32 bit CPU. It has to run an older version of Ubuntu (18.04) because nothing supports it nowadays. Even 32 bit packages are hard to get. I see no reason to use antiX or other esoteric distros since ubuntu runs fine on it and supports the hardware. I doubt antiX supports more hardware.

Someone else recommended it here, but I don't see the advantages over a robust package repository like ubuntu 18 or a minimal ram only distro like puppylinux. https://cheapskatesguide.org/articles/antix.html

Funny enough I got puppylinux running from a dos (windows) partition and running out of RAM on just 2gb on a Toshiba Portage m200. I've even got Windows XP Tablet edition running on SSD, but it can't really connect to much online due to the TLS limitations. And newer versions of the linux kernel don't support the wireless chipset. It is also difficult putting an old non-PAE kernel into a newer distro.

TLS really killed the utility of a lot of older computers with regards to using the "modern internet".
