I think this way over-romanticizes what that era actually produced and ignores the huge breakthroughs since then. So many things would not exist if participation was limited only to the kind of people that were writing software in the 80s and 90s. Many of the landmark brands of today were not thought up or written by such people.

Also, I strongly feel like old software "runs better" because neither the OS nor the software itself practically did anything. The security model was "be a good citizen." Graphics programming meant writing to a big buffer and then copying it to the screen. Oh your native language isn't representable in ASCII? It reads right-to-left? You are colorblind and need to apply a color transform to the display? Too bad. Those things aren't "clean and simple" code and the team of 30-something 1337 guys that wrote wasn't imagining you when deciding how the program would work.

Also it's not like these programs aren't still available. Did you write this comment using lynx? Do you do your finances with "gnome spreadsheet?" Do you listen to music with WinAmp 2.0? Do you moan in frustration every time you find a long, informative Wikipedia article, undoubtedly written by someone who doesn't understand cache lines, or even CSS? I don't even though I used to (well not the last one). I've moved on to objectively better things.

We're way, way better off with lower barriers and increased participation because it's additive. Despite electron being a thing or Visual Studio ushering in an era of "GUI builder + simple callback" apps, suckless still exists.

This isn't about killing off interchangeable lens cameras that look like DSLRs, its about killing off actual DSLRs

Theyre just getting rid of the inferior mirror technology, the thing that flips in front of the sensor, not conceding to phones

The entire sony a7 line, for example, is still going to be made

its kind of a troll discussion but its a good thing to happen because SLRs have been associated with a look or form factor too long and its time for that ambiguity and term to die.
Sounds like you have a glass top electric coil stove, not induction. Induction has a very stable fast heat, cooks like gas. Glass top electric are the one that turn on for 10 seconds off for 30, never the right temp.
I replaced a glass top stove with an induction one last year, couldn't be happier. I can actually fry eggs now.
It seems "heretical" is mostly just used for ideas which are controversial and not generally accepted. But "heretical" have positive connotations, implying the idea is suppressed for dogmatic reasons. So you use the term heretical for non-mainstream views you like.

Volcanic eruptions have climatic effects on short timescales--think a few years of maybe ~0.5°C cooling (this is going by Pinatubo's eruption ~30 years ago).
My understanding is the goal would be to swap out gas-burning models with other versions that don't have the same emissions issues, not to eliminate these appliances entirely.
Completely agree. My DSLR is mostly gathering dust these days - the things I bought it for that phones could not do well at the time were primarily landscapes, low-light photography, and wildlife. My current phone has a wide angle lens that does a great job with landscapes. Phones over the last few years have gotten very good at low light. DSLRs still win here, but not by enough to make it worth lugging around (with a tripod, too).

Wildlife is my only remaining use case where the DSLR is still the only viable option as I generally can't get very close to the subject. This seems too niche to keep an entire market afloat, though.

I'll also still lug the DSLR out if I have a shot planned out that I want to nail or when I'm asked to take photos of someone's kid. Having the ability to work with raw gives a lot of options for fixing lighting and colors. Today's phones do a fantastic job of getting you 80% of the way there automatically, though.

So, my previous role was as a PE in AWS. I made a high multiple of my current salary, yes.

I think the quality of people around me at UW is mostly just different. Domain expertise is much deeper - the image processing experts really know their stuff! While fundamental systems and devops stuff is pretty absent from anyone’s skillsets. I don’t think you can really simply say that the talent quality is better or worse - it’s different.

I work at UW because I prefer the content of the work over my past at AWS. It turns out there are lots of people like me, who agree that $120k is plenty, and who made a very cushy pile of cash in the past at FAANG.

Very few teachers do this in math/science/technology classes. Teachers in these subjects understand that it's the design/problem solving process that is being taught, not the particular details which are only retained on an as-needed basis.

The reality is that formalized education is rote by design. The reason many on HN were frustrated by formal education is because they are not the average student. When you are two standard deviations from the mean in ability (in either direction), school will feel like a very painful grind. Most on HN could do the entire K-12 curriculum in a fraction of the time that it takes the average student. However, the education system is designed for the average student, who by definition are the majority. Students who learn very rapidly tend to get tired of the "training wheels" which are employed in formal education. However, only once you have seen the full spectrum of student ability from the other side as an educator do you understand why they are necessary.

The real sad part of all this is that we lie to students and tell them that computer science, which is by far the most abstract and cognitively demanding subject taught in school/college, can be learned and even mastered by all. This demeans the field of computing, and often can make students feel inadequate, as they are told that everyone finds computer science very easy to understand. When faced with a challenging concept, they then immediately feel that they are stupid for not understanding it immediately.

Cognitive load theory helps with difficult subjects like CS, because it prepares the learner for intense effort. When I teach CS, the first sentence I utter to my students is: "This is going to be the hardest subject you've ever taken. Prepare yourself, and don't give up."
Tek Fog: An App That Automates Hate, Manipulates Trends on Facebook and Twitter
And Canon and Nikon is particular were/are mostly hardware companies who catered to professionals desiring complete creative control. Sure, they stuck on all the various auto modes for the casual users who wanted to use a "real" camera which in all fairness gave them better results than the alternatives even if they weren't exercising a fraction of the camera's capabilities.

However, with the last few generations of smartphones, it's really pretty silly to be using a DSLR with a kit lens on full auto. Even food porn or snapshots in low light--which was one of the last day-to-day things that phones really didn't do well--is remarkably good on phones these days.
Use Fujifilm X, Leica DG or Zeiss lenses if you're discontent with the build quality. Sigma also has a very good quality lens lineup. I only need two, a standard and a 28-30 mm equivalent. Could also do with the wider one. On the Ricoh GRD I never needed anything else.
Because it’s the one thing induction is good at. People who don’t cook often are impressed by it.

> This record of preliminary talks with Baker published by Gorbachev Foundation proves the opposite

The idea was discussed. Nobody disputes that. Gorbachev disputes there was agreement. A position the transcript supports.

It’s like if two people are negotiating a price; one says 5, the other acknowledges hearing five and proposes 3, and then they trade at 4. Twenty years later, one of their daughters calls foul because the buyer acknowledged hearing 5 but only paid 4. That is the imbecilic position this argument takes.
> because the pay can't be negotiated, and it's pegged so far below market it's insulting.

This has nothing to do with transparency. Just because one seller sells something at a certain price does not mean another has to, and same for the buyer.

The pay not being able to be negotiated is a combination of it being a political decision and lack of demand relative to supply.

When the government really wants someone, they start negotiating too.

Edit: one notable example of how it is politically impossible to pay appropriate to get the job done right the first time is the rollout of healthcare.gov and various health insurance websites by state governments. They could have paid enough to attract competent programmers, but the government decided to cheap out. Then it was a political fiasco when the project failed, and they had to open the government wallet to pay for competent programmers. But if they had advertised market pricing for programmers in the first place, and transparently, the the job would have been done right the first time.
It also seems to me that the future is with phones, because manufacturers keep pushing the envelope on phone camera performance.

And as fewer people buy standalone cameras, research in better camera will focus on phone camera, since that's where the market is.
That is endogenous to publicizing salary data. If the data were public, you might make an argument that all engineers need to be paid more or that you need a promotion rather than lobbying your manager.

Nah, that's just the typical "caricature conspiracy theory" that's used to dismiss the actually reasonable theories-of-government-misbehaviour held by the vast majority of people who have such beliefs.
My own plan is to keep growing my solar and battery array until I'm self sufficient. I'll be electrifying as the additional load doesn't generate revenue for PG&E. I expect the last-customer-standing problem you bring up for gas is (to a lesser extent) going to happen for electricity as well.
Very interesting! I didn't separate those two, as I think the discipline/control dichotomy presumed an unspoken framework I wasn't quite onside with. I'm interpreting that the control society is very similar to Arendt's totalitarianism, where the discipline society could be on the spectrum of mere open fascism or republican freedoms based on simplistic rules.

Developers still have to pay Apple a commission on transactions.
https://developer.apple.com/support/storekit-external-entitl...

As in the Epic case, this interestingly expands the number of transactions that apple could potentially claim commissions for (in-app and out-of-app) depending on the specific definition of a transaction. In the case of dating apps nearly all user-activity is within the app, so Apple could claim that all transactions for iOS uses are within scope.

This will of course be negotiated and settled in some way, but as long as the 30% cut has not been deemed illegal, Apple can still demand the cut on relevant transactions.

No. This is completely wrong in two different ways

First: The parent was talking about FTPS, which is the FTP protocol spoken over TLS, similar to how HTTPS can be HTTP/1.1 spoken over TLS

Second: SFTP is not FTPS, and it also isn't FTP spoken over SSH. Instead. SFTP is a protocol specifically for SSH which, like FTP, is concerned with file transfers, but matches what its authors actually wanted from file transfers in the modern era, rather the concerns FTP had decades ago.
Integrated sensors really. Things like AF would work on different sensors in DSLR. Sony removed the mirror and put everything on the sensor. Fast AF tracking, shorter distance between sensor and lens so better low light capability.
Look into something like a Fujifilm X100V or Leica Q2 (depending on your budget)

A camera should be nice and compact, then it won't be a hassle to have it with you.

The problem with modern cameras is they are heavy, bulky, junk build quality, have awful menu systems and don't play nice with your phone or your computer. What a wombo-combo of pain, just to get a nice photo!

If you can afford a Q2, all of those problems are addressed.

Modern cameras are like writing corporate software in Java. Leica Q2 is like writing short programs in Python. Phones are like using Squarespace to build a website.

America’s Environmental Groups Have Lost the Plot on Climate Change
There is also this site which hosts „optimized“ builds:
https://chromium.woolyss.com/download/

Problem is that some of those compiler flags (avx) break stuff in unforseen ways which is a reason why they are not used in the first place. I had some strange bugs/behaviour when using those builds.

What really makes a difference is to disable site isolation (the Spectre/Meltdown patches). From my point of view this is a mostly useless feature when using uBlock or different browser windows for „private“ stuff (eg server logins, etc). Would be interesting to see how high the performance impact is with site isolation disabled.

> i dont know how to explain this to you but the only thing that blockchains replace are databases like mysql.

This is just one half. The other half is blockchain and smart contracts also replace all the people involved in controlling access to a central database. I can imagine a smart contract that would allow me to transfer ownership of my car to you and get paid in return. I cannot imagine an API to a central database that can do the same. One thing you can do to defeat my point is to show how such an API can be built.
For years I wondered about the insanity of the FTP protocol. Why take random ports at both sides? Did they hate firewalls?

Some day, someone explained this allows for a client(with low bandwith) to setup a transfer between 2 servers(high bandwith) with the data not moving through the client. I've never seen this usage and don't know any ftp package supporting this, but it's pretty neat nevertheless.
> If the government could just negotiate individual salaries for developers, they could pay them twice as much, fire the contractors, and get the work done for roughly the same quality, and cheaper.

This isn't a bug, it's a feature intended to funnel taxpayer money into private companies. And I know this is usually a statement laced with malice, but it's not really - it makes sense (on paper) that if competent private companies exist the government should contract them instead of scaffolding its own development company inside of the existing bureaucracy.

In practice we know it would probably be cheaper to just hire 10-ish good developers per county for $1m/yr each and get them to do all the digital work for the state. But that's a harder sell that none of the existing private firms (read: campaign donors who stand to gain no money and lose talented employees) would spring for.

The wikipedia article says "rapid tests have a market value of $15 billion; however, the market is expected to cease from 2024 due to the vaccination of the global population by the end of 2023." I suppose they're just talking about Covid.

I'm surprised. I thought that we may have opened up a new first pass diagnostic for ailments such as the common flu and other viruses. Visiting a GP, half the battle is them dismissing you, saying you don't have a virus until you return 3 days later feeling 3 times worse. I envisaged a rapid test for an assay of 3 of 4 common circulating viruses, available at pharmacies. I'd buy them.
