> Black panther is the #3 highest-rated superhero movie on rotten tomatoes. Sounds like it’s even higher in its genre than The Thing (#138 in horror) and Alien (#5).

Not surprising, given that there aren't many triple-A movies with Black lead actors around in the first place, much less movies that are predominantly Black starred - it was labelled as "revolutionary" [1] for a reason and so generated a lot of (well-deserved) hype. That it turned out to be a damn good movie too only helped the matter along.

If anyone is looking for a gRPC client which will automatically resolve imports between protos and also render structured input fields for each message, check out Protocall (https://protocall.dev - disclaimer, I'm the author).

I built it to solve my biggest pain points with existing tooling like BloomRPC and gRPCurl - they were difficult to use for anything more complicated than "Hello, World". I also couldn't find any tools that would let me send protobuf-encoded requests via HTTP/1.1 rather than gRPC - there are a couple options now, but as far as I know none of them support both that and gRPC.
I agree, from a totally different angle. Let's take something I know better as an example: Structural engineering. Structural engineering should be a "solved problem". It seems, ostensibly, relatively simple compared to a more open ended activity like "programming".(For "technical reasons", it ends up being more similar than you might think.) Still, you are ultimately dealing with the same materials, the same physics, and very similar configurations.

And yet, despite the fact that we have programs to help calculate all the things, test code-required load-combinations, even run simulations and size individual components... it turns out that, it doesn't actually save that much work, and you still need an engineer to do most of it. And not just because of regulatory requirements. It's just, that's not the hard part. The hard part is assembling the components and specifications, specifying the correct loads based on location-specific circumstances, coming up with coherent and sensible design ideas, chasing down every possible creative nook and cranny of code to make something that was originally a mistake actually work, and know when the model is just wrong for some reason and the computer isn't simulating load paths accurately.

Specifying the inputs and interpreting results is still about as much work as it was before you started with all the fancy tools. Those tools still have advantages mind you, and they do make one slightly more efficient. Substantially so in some cases, but most of the time it still comes out as a slight assist rather than a major automation.

> A judge may soon release a sealed report which was prepared as part of a years-long lawsuit over the security of Georgia’s voting machines. Its author, Alex Halderman, was given rare access to dig through the machines

Is this a joke? The voting method upon which democracy rests is kept secret from voters? That by itself should be grounds to drop machines and return to paper voting.

> There's a long-running and complicated fight over how much security is necessary to protect elections against hacking.

Well that's easy. As much as it would take to defend against a decades-long, focused effort by an adversary the likes of India/China/Russia/USA/CIA, possibly with the cooperation of a few compromised developers*, chip foundries, bios and microcode makers, and other manufacturers in the voting machine supply chain.

Oh, and a reasonably intelligent voter should be able to verify that the defenses are indeed as robust as claimed.

Yes, I would quit my job if they were taking Saudi money. My job prospects are not dire enough that I have to compromise my personal ethics.

Do you only hold beliefs that you think people will care about? Are your principles founded on whether or not stating them will be perceived as "virtue signaling"?
As a frequent sigher I found most amusing the part about measuring the number of sighs. I had to dwelve deep in the article to find why it's significant:

"Previous studies have indicated that the number of sighs increased with increased cognitive load[14,21]. In our study, the number of sighs increased during cognitive reading activity on a paper medium and decreased when reading on a smartphone."

My anecdotal experience is that I sigh when tired, so the research passes my tests.

Also, I love physical books. I love holding them, opening them, and of course, reading. If possible with a pencil in my hand.

No, advertisers want attention. And they are lazy, they are not going to look for content that fits their product. Google tells them "i have X users interested in your product" and that's what they buy. What's going to happen is they will move all their ad inventory into google search advertising.
> “GNOME’s […] excuse for not doing something is not it’s too complicated to do, but it would confuse users. The whole we know best thing is a disease.” — Linus Torvalds

Yep. Sadly a more and more pervasive idea among software developers and especially interface designers though.

Recently I've been testing the waters of Linux Desktop more than usual because I can foresee a day in the near future where Microsoft has fucked up Windows to the point that it is the lesser piece-of-shit. So far, I'm finding Fedora Silverblue to be pretty good at giving me the kind of system I want, but it of course uses GNOME. It feels like it desperately wants to be a running on a phone and I have to install extensions just to make it bearable. And don't get me started on how useless GNOME Software is.

I tried Kinoite first, of course, because KDE doesn't despise its own userbase, but sadly it had too many problems. I suppose I could just install KDE on top of Silverblue though.

Edit: Apparently there was a miscommunication. I am not looking for DE or distro suggestions.

Should we trust their software enough to accept that it can accurately make that judgement? It's a really hard problem and they are struggling enough with the fundamentals. I don't think their software is actually at the point where they can make that assertion with any believable certainty.

ITC Garamond and Adobe Garamond are very, very different typefaces.

Search options for settings. When done correctly, it helps a lot.

For example, in IntelliJ (and other jetbrains products) you can open settings and search for almost anything. It will search in headers, options, values... And you can quickly find what you need, from the hundreds or more settings available.

On the other hand, on Android you can also search, but not only takes very long to actually search, it also duplicates entries and often never finds what you want.

But I guess the main issue is that the ability to search settings requires special base structure that you need to develop from the beginning, but when you start programming the number of options is small and you don't think about adding search until it's late.
When you factor in Doppler shifts in frequency of fast moving LEO satellites, yes, it is that selective.

Can you explain the 'not looking good' part?

I see in 2002, Gas+Oil+Coal+Nuclear = 450 TWh.
Then in 2021 this amounts to 262.98 TWh.

So both nuclear and fossil fuel went down quite a bit.

Looking just at the fossil fuel number, they went down by 96 TWh during that period. Seems like a significant win to me.
Interesting that this obvious hoax had a lot of reactions and comments on HN at the time (~350 comments) [1], despite the flimsy evidence for it (a ground-radar picked up "disturbances", and an anthropologist declared they were graves by applying the principle of Wishful Thinking...).

Amusingly, the bio of that anthropologist mentions that "she has developed a reputation for being able to interpret radar scans in a way that is both culturally sensitive and follows traditional cultural protocols"! [2] This is very convenient indeed. :)

Anyway they have been searching ever since (in July they allegedly had already searched 160 acres), and not a single body has been found. Does it matter? Probably not, I guess.

Not a tenth of those who got outraged over the initial story will hear the follow-up, and this will end up being another event that introduces a split in reality: between those that were abused by the mediatic grievance industry, and those that weren't.

As a non-american I'm starting to get a little bit tired of the american healthcare debate. All we hear is the fact that it doesn't work for a myriad of reasons, but healthcare in Europe and the other countries you guys like to quote is not as good as it might seem at a first glance and universal, state provided healthcare might not be the silver bullet people think it is for the US.
That's a use case. I don't see why anyone would go out of their way to make intelligible content for spam. Google is so broken right now that SEO hacks are easy to generate.

Honestly my response most of these days to learning of a vulnerability in my hardware is "hell yeah, an avenue for me to be in control of what I own".

This is a cool concept and I applaud your efforts to focus on improving parenting for Dads. With my close friends I have an outlet to vent about all the challenges of parenting and I find that most helpful - to be heard and to hear their challenges. In general there’s no “safe space” to vent about how difficult parenting is. If you do it on social media you’re likely to get skewered or misinterpreted - just look at this thread as an example. To the degree you can create a safe space to vent and feel heard without judgment I think that’s the greatest potential value.

With guard rails and fully enclosed rotor blades, it might've worked. I can't think of anywhere to deploy it where it would have advantages over other modes of transportation. Desert, coastlines, ... but then what for? Landmine detection? It's also really loud, so no public or residential deployment.

And even if it had been hardened and dummy proofed, disruption of the blades would not have had many safe failure modes.
This is in line with what other code generation AI's have accomplished.

To reach average level at codeforces you need to be able to apply a standard operation like a sort, or apply a standard math formula, as the first 1-2 problems in the easy contests are just that. It is impressive that they managed to get this result in real contests with real unaltered questions and see that it works. But generalizing this to harder problems isn't as easy, as there you need to start to device original algorithms instead of just applying standard algorithms, for such problems the model needs to understand computer science instead of just mapping language to algorithms.

Consumer Class Divide
I completely agree. i am also on Digital Ocean App Platform. It works fine so far. I was considering trying Cloudflare Workers + Cloudflare KV as an alternative as it seems way cheaper, albeit slightly different. It has some limitations, like only use Typescript and non relational db and a bit of a vendor lock-in but it seems very interesting proposition and offer very generous quotas. AWS/GCP/Azure seem too complex and overpriced for small side projects. The alternative is going down the VPS route but it's more costly to maintain

Eradication of Diseases (2018)
good point, makes sense that plays a role.
Per the article, low vaccination and booster rate, particularly for the elderly. From the article:

> Twelve percent of Americans 65 and over [are not fully vaccinated]

> And 43 percent of people 65 and over have not received a booster shot.

> In England, by contrast, only 4 percent of people 65 and over have not been fully vaccinated and only 9 percent do not have a booster shot.

Lifestyle issues also get a shoutout:

> Many Americans have health problems like obesity and diabetes that increase the risk of severe Covid.

But to a large extent these would also apply to, say, the UK and Ireland, which both also have hefty obesity rates, albeit not quite as bad as the US.

Beat saber looks fun as hell, but I don't think it's a VR seller. It reminds me of Wii Tennis - we had motion controls for 15 years now.

Half Life Alyx is to me a perfect representation of the problem - all the best VR games are basically First-person shooters. Which also happen to be the most popular games in general, I agree.

But it's a dead end. It's where we've optimized because it's where the technology limitations are the least compromised.

The games where true VR immersion would be beneficial - flying, swimming, exploring complex 3d spaces - are not immersive enough with the technology we have it seems.
Not the OP, but I can see why they don't like it. Just looking at "Garamond Italic" written in Garamond Italic, the "m" jumps out for having a completely different angle to its surrounding letters in the word (apart from the "n", which is similarly super-slanted. The effect of going between the angles of "I" and "t" is similarly offensive.

It's kinda funny that you think there are no B2B sales or promotions involved in the world's largest advertising business, even in the face of increasingly-numerous evidence of them doing so multiple times for many years. I agree most cases don't, but zero is laughably, trivially false.

Big businesses absolutely have inside access to get things done that are not generally available. Heck, that's practically Google's entire support strategy - know someone who knows someone, otherwise deal with the automation which just repeats "no" in a loop. Sometimes it's just because it's not ready for wider onboarding (big customers get tapped for trialing big new features (like Uber/Lyft/etc's rideshare integration in maps), not all of which ever go further), sometimes very clearly not. E.g. current Facebook/Google legal battles, like https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/14/google-facebook-ceos-oversaw... , and that's far from the first. It's just the latest and greatest and stands a chance of actually going somewhere.

Sure, they may not be phoning up a friend and passing $$ directly to dodge using the UI's pricing. Instead they get automation built for them, so they don't have to do that. Because you're right, it doesn't scale.
I think that's by design - just like 5 letter words aren't unique. For it to be accepted at all it has to be a solution; but you may be 'wrong' and get hints at finding the solution.

I wanted to like Vultr. I gave them a fair chance but then they changed the IP on my VPS without telling me. It changed from a Swedish IP to an American IP overnight and left me confused in every way.

Everything broke and support wasn't willing to explain what happened. It felt like they decided my account was suspicious and they routed all my traffic through some firewalled/monitored egress to inspect my traffic. I couldn't even SSH in, I had to go the the dashboard and grab the IP they had reassigned to my host.

That's all we've ever been since we invented software.

First we specified the exact flow of the bits with punch cards.

Then we got assembly and we specified the machine instructions.

Then we got higher level languages and we specified how the memory was to be managed and what data to store where.

Now we have object oriented languages that allow us to work with domain models, and functional languages that allow us to work data structures and algorithms.

The next level may be writing business rules, and specifying how services talk to each other, who knows, but it will be no different than it is now just a higher level.
I think it comes down to priming, at least for those of average intelligence. They don't read the report start to finish with an objective mindset, they are first fed snippets here and there while being told what to read from those snippets. If they ever do decide to really read it, they are primed to take from it only what they have already been told to take from it.
Never, as long as their core business model is based on privacy invasive tracking? They have every incentive to fight this back and none to actually comply (unless fines start getting higher, I suppose).
