I just want to add there are a lot of "business people" who are good with coming up with ideas but then those ideas are useless.

So it is not only techies.

One of company owners for example did not understood market our company is in and mandated that we built in Stripe integration. Well it was useless burning of money and he did not read "do things that don't scale", where our market worked you have high touch sales and send invoices and no one ever signed for payments, I removed the code last year and we are growing with customer base.
A relatively simple tech that everyone can build for a very generic use; yet, once you actually see it, you realize none of the chart making tools you have worked with are as straightforward. I wish I could think simple like this.

This complaint is a bit strange given that they have an entire free tier for you to use and that their custom package includes them doing actual design work for you, not just more and better hosting options.

Every service can be replicated by just doing it yourself - the proposition here is that it might be - or might not, depending on your needs - more cost-effective than hiring a designer yourself do apply your branding to your data visualizations.

Dolby already implemented that with Dolby Vision IQ

Dolby Vision requires the whole chain to perfectly respect what the content says, both in color and brightness, so if you have a bright film, it'll blind you in the dark. But they now license (I assume for an additional fee) adaptive brightness for Dolby Vision!
This kinda sounds like a copout.

We can escape the fatalism of Dunbar's number and in/out-groups through leadership and recursively hierarchical structures. See any large (>~200 persons) company, collective action (civil rights, wars, social movements), nations, etc.

I was asking a rhetorical question tbh.
No.

The biggest mistake engineers make, and they make it often for year after year, is not moving to another company when it is the right time to leave where they are.

To zeroth order, all engineers are overdue for a move.
It would be interesting to see what the mean and median are.
Since using adblockers i see less ads, nearly none.
And on unprotected devices and networks i see strange ads, unsurprisingly. I can tell you all are shockingly irrelevant and repulsive like the examples OP gives.

So full circle: if you avoid them you get less but also worse ads.
> And those are assumed to be sRGB anyway.

You mean the 16 EGA colors, right? /s

But more seriously, I was hugely disappointed to see Microsoft unwind their wide-gamut and HDR GUI capabilities that they introduced as far back as Vista while simultaneously Apple is making wide-gamut (Display P3) and HDR standard across all of their devices.

Someone at Microsoft was forward thinking, and now some idiot is undoing that good work just when displays are catching up to the software capabilities.

Sooner or later, Windows will cap framerates at 60 Hz to make sure 120 Hz monitors don't deliver any visible benefit either...
Am quite sure that this covid mandate will be overturned shortly.

In UK a similar mandate for health workers is about to be dropped:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30142420

In Denmark any and all restrictions have been dropped, except in airports due to the rest of the world still holding on to restrictions.

The time for mandates have ended.

Land in this area is roughly €1/m2, although it will be more if it has a house on it or existing amenities.

Regarding internet access, you can use our coverage checker :-) gardunha.net. We only cover a small area of Portugal.

It all goes from tickets becoming too cheap and thus service level too low. It encourages people to behave like rednecks, and also enables actual rednecks to fly.

I see best fix in government-mandated minimum quality level (in terms of seat size, catering, boarding time, etc), which will force price increases due to increase of costs, and also make people less nervous as conditions both on the ground and on the plane will be less crowded.

Make something like "euro business" the minimum service level possible.
Then why is Apple advertising it as 1000nits sustained?

If it can sustain 1000 nits for HDR content, it can for SDR too. The display isn't going to say "hey it's SDR let me piss them off" and suddenly start dissipating more heat at 1000 nits at SDR compared to HDR after all.
Google Search pre-AI should be on that list.

> They don't need to be 100% effective

OK. So are you now retracting your previous claim that "vaccines do not prevent transmission of SARS-CoV-2"?

> but they need to be reasonably effective in order to be mandated as a tool for mitigating the spreading.

Sure. This is a judgment call probably best made by people who actually know what they are doing?

> At the very least reliably above 50%, I would say.

Since you previously believed that they were not effective at all, which is 100% wrong, maybe you are not the ideal person to make that judgement call?

> Otherwise they can only be a tool for personal risk reduction

This turns out not to be the case, for several reason. First, have you heard of the Swiss Cheese Model?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_cheese_model

Lots of individual measures, none of which is perfect, together prevent calamities. And in aviation, all these measures are mandated, despite each individual measure not being super effective by itself.

Second, even a 20% reduction could be thing that suppresses the R value sufficiently to either not go exponential or to flatten the curve sufficiently to not overwhelm hospitals.

Third, even the, according to you, "purely personal" risk reduction of preventing severe outcomes is actually societal in a pandemic situation, because we don't have enough hospital capacity.

Fourth, I have seen no actual evidence from you for either (a) 50% being a reasonable threshold or (b) vaccine efficacy being below 50%.

Fifth, vaccine effectiveness at prevent spread increases markedly with fewer unvaccinated people. Vaccinated are far less likely to spread the disease.

So sixth, an airline is very well within its rights to prevent potential harm from its passengers and employees.
The way I read the document is that the main reason is that they do not have to upgrade their whole stack including dependencies like React Router.

Stepping off the dependency upgrade treadmill is an interesting and valid point that I think many HN readers dream of. It seems to me that Etsy has ended up so far behind current React that going to Preact is a very valid direction to take.
I discovered datawrapper 2 months ago while looking at internet speeds vs age due to an unconvincing reddit debate [1] : I really liked it. Data presentation on the internet always frustrates me, because it usually is just a picture, or worse, a video. No interaction, no mouseover to check details.

Datawrapper covered all of that, I really like that.

[1] If you are interested: The argument was that older populations are the main factor of slow internet. No data was provided during the discussion. As I found that unconvincing I investigated based on easily accessible but skewed data. The result:

OECD countries only (english): https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/YTBQ2/1/

This is super interesting, I wander if 3d printing lenses could be a good way to explore light field photography and projection?

You could potentially design and print some quite complicated lenses. I suppose the one difficulty would be the epoxy pooling in small crevices when dipping. But then if you take that into account in the design it could be compensated for. You would need to find a way to predict the flow of the epoxy over the printed substrate.
I always wonder why hardware matters. Look at the retro game market. I’ve spent more money lately re-buying old games than new ones. BOTW looks spectacular simply because of artistic choices. And I quickly racked up far more hours on my Switch than my XBOne simply because I could play on the TV, pull it out of the dock and play on the go and never had to turn it off. It just slept. Booting up a console is so archaic. And for what? Graphics that I tuned out eventually?

Which is not to say good graphics are bad. But there’s certainly diminishing returns. After a point it sure as hell isn’t giving me more entertainment value running a space heater.
Yeah you can generally underclock a modern intel or amd chip down to 400MHz, but of course other bottlenecks (storage, RAM, networking) will be massively out of proportion

Demographics. The late 20th century rise of Japan tracks with their post-war generation; the institutions built then, centered around MITI, were very strong and propelled the country into a leading exporter, and then an asset bubble economy. With the 90's, the bubble collapsed and globalization took hold, moving the industral exports increasingly towards China. But, as with the other major powers involved in the war, the institutions of the postwar largely stayed in place. The bubble then reappeared elsewhere in Asia, and then in US real estate, and eventually(where we are now) became called the "Everything Bubble", where all of these countries have a zombie company issue and a corresponding lack of creative destruction. Japan was simply the earliest to experience the demographic effects leading into this cycle; they are ahead on aging, population decline, etc.

This is something I was thinking about recently.

Humor and corporations do not much but I always refused to fake the "how interesting, let me add some crap to this bullshit and look as if believe it"

Initially I was the village idiot, and gradually become free to actually say what I want to say. Since it is not really PC it was meet with terrified smiles or dedain. But what was said was said.

I like this situation very much because I can relieve some of the stress and straight lies, without confrontation.
No, they are providing exclusive service because they own the platform. If competition was allowed their insane margins would go away. Microsoft got fined for IE and this is milking it way worse.
Ask HN: How Do You Guys Come Up with Project Ideas?
I want to learn ReactJS by working on a project, however, I'm having a hard time coming up with a project that I can also showcase on my portfolio once I finish it, most projects are just not portfolio worthy, such as a ToDo app.

I am curious how you (The Community) come up with ideas?
I think Steam and GOG are examples of well curated (specialized) app stores. I searched a bit and it seems there have only ever been a small handful of reports of Steam accidentally allowing malware to be distributed with a game ("Abstractism" is the only one I found, that had apparently had a crypto miner embedded).

To be fair, Steam also was collecting 30% fees (I believe they have reduced recently, mostly because of pressure from Epic), so from this point of view it's not better than Apple.
I'm running in bitmap mode, on spinning drives. It reduces the drive capacity, but not by a noticable amount.

I've set up my RAID to not haeve a "bad block list" so I _think_ it will try fixing it a few times, and drop the drive if there are too many errors in a row.

Should be easy enough to try with a "test" RAID made out of a bunch of files (or even USB sticks).
Funny enough, AMC is pushing a promotion where if you saw Spiderman (or Moonfall) on launch day (and booked via their app) you got an NFT.
In this case, though, it seems like embeddable C compilers as means to support integration of C code into other languages in better ways is becoming a trend.
The justice system has thousands of false positives and throws innocent people in jail for decades sometimes. As a whole, society accepts some level of error margin in every facet of society.

After working in risk and fraud, I've seen some truly horrifying stuff. An elderly woman threatened physically if she didn't let the attacker drain her bank account. Huge scams for thousands of dollars. Organized crime rings fleecing millions of dollars. Identity theft. On and on.

I would wager that society would accept some level of errors in exchange for drastically reduced criminal activity that actually hurts people.

Legitimate people getting blocked inadvertently are rare, and often of the stories you hear on HN and Reddit and other places, a good portion of these "innocent victims" are actually doing sketchy stuff when you dig into it.

Justice isn't and cannot be an exact science. Society agrees and accepts the risk.

All the commentary seems to be accepting framing of the situation as a "over max brightness" band you can access when they're just dimming normal content. Brings to mind the business with doubling pixel sizes with the 4K displays and requiring tricks from apps and web content to access the native resolution.
I think it's more that the folks with the most extreme sentiment are motivated to post. In this case extreme sentiment in favor of violence and banishment is being driven by wrong information, together with a terrible aptitude for math.

Everyone has been personally affected by the pandemic, had our health and freedoms threatened, been inconvenienced. Well, some people believe that unvaccinated, anti-mask people are responsible for that. We know that's not true. Unvaccinated antimask people create really one public health risk-- they are incapacitated by, and die from, coronavirus in higher proportions. They are the quintessential eggshell-skulls of our time. Rather than treating them with care and compassion like the vulnerable conscientious objectors they are, these people are treated with derision. I think that's because many people see membership on team 'flatten the curve' has some relationship to a wish to curtail the loss of freedom and threat to health. That's counterfactual, and the maths related to mask efficacy (or inefficacy) render it highly implausible. However, as with many things, those with the least understanding and reason tend to be the most certain and urgent in their views.
That is so typical behavior from Google, change the rules as you go along.

Maybe, but I've not seen anyone iteratively make changes to all layers of the OS and get instant feedback as Andreas frequently does.

The Diablo port is a good example of this, whether it's missing C++ APIs, unsupported lang features, missing SDL port impl, toggling kernel features - it all gets done in a 1hr sit down session to produce a shiny new Diablo port.

Another nice quality of SerenityOS is that the entire OS is written in modern C++ with everything being written from scratch to use the standard AK libraries which the entire OS and components use, i.e. there isn't any existing App that brings in their own string types or other utils.
I think it's a nice start. As materials and tech get more precise, I see a good future of people making their own lenses, at least for general hobby purposes.
Can you not just point the ad at https://your.website.example/item012628?from=facebookad20210... or whatever and save those from parameters in a cookie or something so you can see at checkout what ads were clicked before purchase? How could ATT possible factor in to this?
Good observation and hits a little too close to home.

It is interesting to see the career graphs of people you know from "Real" life and map it to their retelling on LinkedIn. While some are legitimate salesmanship (you are allowed to present only your best face and exaggerate a little) others are downright fiction.

Used strictly as a "professional" network rather than a "general social" network LinkedIn does provide a lot of value. Just be moderate with your image projection and remember that most people can easily see through any obvious posturing.
Batteries normalise the peaks.

Building grid scale storage still means grid itself needs to be updated for the increasing loads and spikes.

And I'm talking here smart batteries - controlled by grid owner. How it's not default (including solar, cars and other high load devices) it's a bit of a puzzler. Sure it's like 5 minutes of inconvenience for the owner, but saves trillions of dollars.
While I agree with avoiding airlines who behave badly, I don't think it addresses completely the point raised by the OP.

Unruly behavior by airline staff? You don't fly in that airline anymore.

Unruly behavior by a passenger? The passenger doesn't fly in any US airline nor any US-bound airline anymore.

That doesn't seem like a proportional response.
Well most likely because HDR content doesn’t mean full bright white for extended periods of time.

Even if you watch 8 hours of HDR content, only some of the LEDs will get to peak brightness for small periods of time. That will allow the LEDs to cool down enough to sustain that brightness.

The macOS UI and webpages on the other hand are mostly bright white and that can cause trouble on extended periods of time.

Since when does the population size of a nation (especially in comparison to a region in another country) have anything to do with its status as a nation? Should Andorra be on this list, or just merged into France, perhaps?
End users are conditioned to think of the WWW as a monolith rather than a network of smaller networks, so they don't want to visit "myfriendsfederatedpod.net", they want to visit "platform.com".

Also on the content producer's side, server administration is scary and/or biz-admin overhead.
> Note that 15% decrease in commission is 21% increase in revenue for the developer. For $4.99 you can drop to $3.99 and keep around the same proceed.

No, you can keep less.

$4.99 after 30% results in $3.49 to the developer.

$3.99 after 15% results in $3.39 to the developer.

Why are developers with less than $1MM in annual turnover being vilified when Apple is turning over $123,900MM quarterly revenues, and is the one squeezing them?
LinkedIn may be the least toxic social media platforms used today. It promotes an aspirational culture. I want others to do well and it's nice to come across them, at least online, long after we stopped working together.
>Anything that can recurse or fall into an infinite loop is Turing complete.

My computer can fall into an infinite loop even though it doesn't have infinite storage (to emulate an infinite tape of a Turing machine).
I very much doubt you can build a cheap 6.5m gold plated mirror aligned to a standard that it can get clear images of the farthest corners of the universe, but that can also survive a rocket launch.
They’re not dimming the SDR content. It is an optical illusion.

The HDR white is actually a lot brighter than the SDR white (which means the LEDs behind those pixels are allowed to go to full brightness).

You can see that effect if you watch this video in Safari on a 2021 MacBook Pro: https://files.alinpanaitiu.com/hdr-test-pattern.webm

Here's an article where the nits value is measured using a calibration device: https://www.notebookcheck.net/The-new-MacBook-Pro-14-only-ma...

The measurement shows that SDR content goes up to 500 nits (which was the peak value of previous MacBook displays as well) while HDR content goes up to 1607 nits.
