If a business is half fixed costs and half profit, then cutting their revenue in half will cut their profit to zero.

Speed limits are a good counter-example though, where they can provide a baseline expectation (eg mask wearing is good in crowded places) and then begins the negotiations from there for what is expected social behavior.
Fury Road gave a glimmer of hope of limiting the use of CGI. It gave me happy feet to watch it.
Nope, people need to measure things they do in opportunity costs. I pay my housemate to clean common spaces instead of me, when its my turn. As long as I use that time to work on personal project/ leetcode (anything but watching netflix), I am investing in more valuable skill.

And lets be honest, there is very limited # of hours you have outside your work, so you should invest a lot in them.
Doug Lea of Java Memory Model and concurrency note went pretty far down this rabbit hole. Not only do you use separate counters/queues per thread/core, but you also put empty space around them so that you don't accidentally share cache lines. I don't know what they do now, but at the time some of the data structures in that library used arrays where only every 8th or 16th entry is used to avoid two cores trying to read from the same cache line.

Typically allocating a separate data structure per actor also accomplishes this as a happy accident. If the thread does the allocation, then it has a better chance of being in the right bank as well.
Not necessarily. Demand may be much higher than available supply right now. Tech companies will continue to compete, requiring spending on developers to remain competitive. Software is unlike manufacturing, in that the output is a service, not a widget. Worker productivity in general has not decreased the demand for full work weeks, despite projections in the early 20th century to the contrary. Of course, it is possible that fewer developers would be needed, but I don't think it's likely, yet.
> some team members are also using insomnia which doesn't seem to be much better in my opinion.

In my experience Insomnia suffers from some of the same bugs that affect Postman[1], but at least they don't do the scummy things that Postman does, for example locking you out of your _personal_ Postman account if your ex employer forgets to pay their business subscription (if anyone at Postman is reading this: that's the reason I left and will never come back).

PS I swear that some time ago I saw that Paw was now available for Linux and Windows as well, but I just went to their website and it still says "exclusively built on macOS", I'm really confused now.

Quarrying clues: exploring the symbolism of Neolithic stone extraction
Not only are SD cards not happy with losing power during writing, but they are very sensitive to "brownout" undervoltage conditions. In this case writes may appear to succeed but actually fail to commit, which is obviously problematic for the integrity of your data.

(if people were using a checksumming filesystem like ZFS, this of course would be immediately apparent when it was occurring!)

Samsung sells "high endurance" SD cards - I would strongly recommend these for RPi usage, and they are also very useful for dash cams since those are always continuously writing as well. Sandisk sells high-endurance cards as well but frankly Samsung is a cut above the rest of the SD card market - my SD card failures have essentially gone away since I stopped buying other brands. I think I have had one SD card failure since then and it wasn't related to write endurance, just didn't use it for a couple years and it was dead when I tried it again.

But yes, in general, power quality is a massive problem for RPis, and people don't really consider it because it's one of those "it works 99.9% of the time" situations. It's like a race condition that you only rarely ever hit, it looks correct and people will die on the hill of "it's worked perfectly fine for months now, the power can't be a problem" and then you hit a weak flash cell when the CPU is heavily loaded and the voltage is starting to droop and it happens to be a critical file rather than just some log or a chunk in an audiovisual file somewhere, and then you notice it.

I'd say >95% of all Pi failures come down to either power problems or SD card wearout. They're certainly not otherwise flawless, it's a janky cheapass SOC in general, but that is the overwhelming cause of Pi system failures.

If you can swing it, network booting from a fileserver is a much more reliable option in the long run. I haven't really experimented with it, and performance will probably be worse, but it gets the SD card out of the equation entirely, which mitigates both of these problems. You're not writing to flash, so brownout doesn't matter in terms of the potential for failed writes, and you aren't writing to a physical SD card so there's no wear.
Ask HN: Popup/overlay videos that you can't close?
I've started seeing these... I'm not sure exactly what the correct term is, but they're small videos in the corner of a web page. They have their own "x" in the top-right corner, and a pause icon in the lower left corner. They're used for ads, and for some actual content as well.

I've started seeing some of these where the "x" and the pause control are a lie. Clicking either one does not do what you expect. Instead, it brings up a new tab. Always (or maybe almost always?) these are ads, rather than ancillary content.

Is anyone else seeing these? Any idea how to actually kill the video subwindow on the tab you're viewing?

(I'm mostly seeing it on Yahoo. Maybe I should just not go there?)
Something about this really rubs me the wrong way. Our congress doesn't "give" us rights to do anything. This bill will be full of caveats and will probably be drafted with John Deere lobbyist in the same room.

Court challenges are much more effective at re-establishing individual rights. They're more applicable and usually more broad, especially if you can get a SCOTUS ruling. This law will likely delay a favorable court ruling.
Clearly there's a bit more than that... License problems often appear at convenient times.

That might only be a second or third-order cause. The real one is cost. I doubt unions are what drives the difference; it's that an animator can do what a crew of 10 did before.
Not even close, sadly. Consider New Zealand, Taiwan, and China: if you take extreme measures and eliminate all COVID, then there is no COVID. It doesn’t appear from nowhere. (Just like in 2018 there was no COVID.) On the other hand, if you eliminate half the transmission of a highly contagious disease, everyone may well still get it, and while you have flattened the curve, you haven’t actually saved many lives.

For those who remember Chicken Pox, almost everyone got chicken pox. To the extend any NPIs reduced transmission (e.g. keeping kids out of school), the primary result was delaying chicken pox or avoiding major outbreaks, and delaying chicken pox may have been a bad thing.

As a different analogy, if you have a Windows XP system in the Internet, it will get pwned. If you update it to Vista, you get a worse UI and it still gets pwned. Sometimes half measures are much less than half effective.

CGI is great actually, and most people have no idea when they are watching CGI stuff.

It's just that being able to do just about anything, down to implausible camera movements, requires restraint, and sometimes that's lacking.

(also low budget stuff might look bad, but that applies for every single thing)

I wonder if it's the same P4 that I was accustomed too on video game modding forums and similar places.

Curious indeed. But even going on wired to brag about it, I wonder.
I think another great example is Jackson’s LotR vs. The Hobbit films. The first trilogy was way more immersive, primarily because of the different balance of practical and special effects.
At least based on my experience in the US the "lockdown" orders in practice were not significantly more strict than the government issuing very strong recommendations.

I disagree on the author's definition of "real". I see two ways they can be defined in the context of movies: Real could mean that the objects portraid look like they were actually filmed through a camera; but it could also mean that the objects portraid look like the objects they're intended to portay. The former is easily achievable with practical effects. But the latter is in many cases ONLY achiavable with CGI, which in many cases already starkly outperforms any practical effects (admittably, to the detrement of realness according to the former definion in some cases).

Which of the two you prefer depends on what it is you're looking for in movies. One motivation might be to see humans acting realistically, reacting to their environment and struggles. If that's all you're looking for, practical effects almost always win, because they allow budget to be allocated on actors and scripts, and actors have an easier time imagining to be in the situation they're acting to be in. Many blockbuster movies, however, are made with a different goal in mind. Marvel, Jurassic Park, Star Wars all don't have realistic human interactions and struggles as a primary value proposition, but interesting fantasy worlds and fights, with "sufficiently" realistic characters. I for one enjoy both types of movies, deeply, and I don't think that CGI ruins movies today. In particular, I don't think that CGI ruins movies like Jurassic Park or Star Wars, which in my view are great movies for the year they came out in, but by todays standard's are clearly objectively worse in almost any respect. Imagine something like the first star wars movie coming out today! Nobody would know about it, even fewer would care. Nostalgia is a powerful force.
Can you though? Wouldn't it be enough to create interface that would let you view notifications of currently opened tab without giving it permission to show them through OS interface in background?
The wealth gap in Singapore is immense as well, but they have different (and derogatory) terminology to refer to it.

For example, the city is built by immigrant workers often from Bangladesh. You should see the living conditions they are forced to endure. It's shameful.

During Covid, they don't even refer to these hard-working people as being members of the community, and they segregated the Covid case counts by those who were and were not a part of society, in their eyes.

There are a few issues with his last 2 years of the podcast:

1. He rarely pushes back on any interviewee if they're pushing an anti-vaxx position. However, he suddenly becomes very skeptical when any medical professional states their support for the vaccine, COVID protocols, etc.

2. It's not a 50/50 split of left/right. Ever since he moved to Austin (and even before), he's typically brought many more center and right leaning people than left. Also, the same thing happens as point 1 in that he typically lets right-leaning folks off a lot easier with questions than left-leaning folks (this is hard to quantify, admittedly).

3. Politics aside, his podcast is far less interesting than pre-COVID. He's far more interested in pushing his own points and positions than listening and asking the interviewees for their positions. In the earlier days, he was much more inquisitive and focused on helping the interviewee discuss their area of expertise. In the last few years, it's more focused on Joe talking about his theories and asking the interviewee for their opinion.

I loved his older interviews about nutrition, health, etc. Every fucking podcast these days is only about COVID and how vaccines are bad, mandates are bad, and the Biden administration is bad.
Take a substantial vacation, towards the end after your mind clears it'll be easier to decide the best course of action.

FWIW: I'm in the same boat (albeit lots of miles in Florida and Texas). I think I've had a total of _one_ "uncomfortable" issue from an overhang 2 years ago in my model 3 (which was corrected by me just hitting the accelerator).

My "information" here is not "content" like How to fold a Shurgard moving crate or Movie Reviews i.e. produced with intent to inform/educate the general public about specialized topics. My post is simply part of the social web of personal opinions, and he doesn't seem to think twitter/instagram/tiktok are solving his problems.

Forums do exist. Hacker news and Reddit does exist. But I think the OP is not satisfied with Reddit and would not be satisfied if we just had a bunch of additional forum sites.

Pretty much every shot that looks out a window in pretty much every movie since the just about forever has been an effect of one kind or another just because if the problems with lighting the scene and the time of day being 'shot for' and what time it actually is.

Most modern prime time television uses compositing for pretty much any shot on a street, they aren't standing on the street they are standing on a green stage.

The weight of special effects is also lowered by just the sheer quantity of them. I would like to see a comparison of how much time is spent on battle scenes in star wars 4-6 vs 7-9. I turned 9 off because it felt like a 10 minute cgi fighting scene was needed between each sparse bit of plot forwarding dialogue. It may be a bit overdone when people fast forward through the action to try and find some kind of meaningful character interaction.
That kind of matches are what regexps were intended for:

grep "foo.*bar" hello

Unfortunately, the basic grep syntax doesn't give you an easy way of specifying both orders, so that would have to be something like:

grep -e "foo.*bar" -e "bar.*foo" hello

You can specify random order in a couple of different ways with Perl-compatible regexes, such as lookaheading the search terms from the end of line marker. But it's not as easy to read as it should be.

It is not about "leg issues", it is also about you mind needs to control your leg. And about your fuel costs: software can regulate power much more precise, speed becomes virtually constant, no acceleration means no changes in a kinetic energy, so less fuel is needed.

Top bicycle athletes spend many hours learning how to pedal to minimize accelerations due to cyclic nature of pedaling. With a car it seems easier (all you need is to keep your foot steady, not to maintain constant torque while switching from one leg muscle to another) but I cannot do it. Cruise control beats me every time.

Farmers can fix most things on their farm. This is true for machines, fences, structures, animals, etc. Their ingenuity and hard work is how they survive. The ability to take advantage of weather windows as well as harvest and sow at the appropriate times allows them to maximize their output.

Being required to wait around burning days waiting on some specialized technician who can charge exorbitant fees does not work.

Give farmers access to the appropriate parts and resources and they will make their machines function and operate.

Absurd. You could falsify the opposing position by providing data that shows significant short interest. Of course you will have trouble with this because all of the data confirms the opposing position.

On the other hand, your position cannot be falsified because you dismiss all of the available data as manipulated without proof.
