The reality that almost never gets brought up is that the other side of the coin is that these are natural pressures that are probably healthy.

We know that any given habitat, like the Earth, has finite resources and has some upper bound to supporting life. This is how those pressures manifest. We can’t just keep growing the population and have everything be affordable. Surging food, energy and housing prices are the first feedback mechanism in this process.

If everybody can afford everything forever, we get infinite population growth.
"at this price point"

Dell frequently does discounts, but the base price for their UHD panel in the XPS13 is twice the price of a MacBook Air. I had both, and still prefer the Mac hardware by a considerable margin.
> integration and test of one of a kind space cryocoolers

The point is they wouldn't be one of a kind if #2 was built. Planning, designing, iterative prototypes, designing tests, designing test equipment, building test equipment, devising test plans, writing the enormous amount of software require for all of that, for the ground stations, etc., all add nothing to the cost of building #2.

Normally, people take the cost of a program and divide it by the number of units built, and call that the per-unit cost. That's an accounting fiction. The first one costs the bulk, the rest cost far less per unit.

> no reason

The reason is I can't think of any endeavor where the incremental cost of #2 doesn't drop dramatically.

> It's like 1984's Doublespeak. These people say obviously contradictory statements without making any logical association between them.

It really isn't, and trying to force absurd 1984 references makes absolutely no sense at all.

Think about it for a second: if you already feel you have the absolute best candidate for a spot already working at your side, or you create a position specifically to get that person to work for you, does that mean you are racist or sexist or, as you chose to imply with your absurd comparison, fascist?
Exactly. Even within the ad platform they keep pushing advertisers to target ‘broad’ keywords instead of ‘exact match’ ones.

It's mostly lower because the scope of private medicine in the UK is generally a lot narrower: it's used for getting fast access to specialists and elective surgery, and a nicer room in hospital. If there's a serious complication when having your private hip replacement you're probably going by ambulance to an NHS ICU. Ditto emergency care. So a lot of the expensive parts of healthcare fall on the NHS even if you have private cover.

Something a little similar happens in the US: as a visitor you can get travel insurance including private medical care for much less than regular private insurance, because the insurance company isn't on the hook for long-term problems, just for a medevac back to your home country.
It was ideas that mattered in the early 2000s. but nowadays marketing is much more important than ideas. In other words, an alternative that can work better than Google can of course be made, but its good work alone is never enough to compete with it. Or maybe I don't know.
Actually the coefficients are 12 bit in JPEG, before quantization. In principle you can make pretty accurate 10-bit HDR JPEG files, and with an accurate JPEG decoder, it would work well enough.

The most common JPEG decoders though (in particular libjpeg-turbo) are using a cheap but not super precise iDCT that has 8-bit YCbCr as output, which then gets chroma-upsampled if needed and converted to 8-bit RGB. That causes the effective precision in reds and blues to be only 7-bit. But in principle you could have about 10 bits of effective RGB precision, it just requires a sufficiently precise JPEG decoder.
Doesn’t that imply that the incoming photons are spread out over the entire mirror, several meters?

A modern society can very well exists with much of jobs from remote, of course not all can be done remotely and that means those jobs will get paid more, witch is actually good BUT that demand a revolution many do not want: that demand a distributed economy.

WFH it's ok, but outside my new home on mountains I need groceries, health services, real-life leisure services etc those can only exists in a new old distributed economy because who want to open a megastore on mountains collecting a small fraction of people of even a small city?

Such transformation is needed ALSO for environmental reasons: we can't make "green tall buildings" simply because we can't practically upgrade them, while we can make homes "for a human life" to be destroyed and rebuilt with modern techniques of the present time forever. We still need factories, witch still need many humans in place, witch means a new kind of society where the wealthy are physically far from poors, poors are concentrated in factory-smart-cities-labor-camps-alike places and wealthy are spread in the territory, but since in nature there is the principle of communicating vessels that can't really last longer etc. Actually ALMOST NO ONE want to face such big revolution, also neoliberals schools believe that population can't really evolve in "short" time, even if some try hard to push them to a new and better life. That's the challenge and probably the response will be "individual" with big unrest in the meantime...
Supabase developer here. I came from Firestore to Supabase due to running into a lot of limitations you're seeing. Just my biased opinion, but looking at "newer/more modern DBs" is not necessarily the route you want to take. That's why I looked at Firestore and ended up at Supabase. PostgreSQL is not "newer/more modern" but it's time-tested, battle-tested, and I know thousands of companies have used it in production for decades. I prefer to go with something I know works, will work at scale, and has tons of community and commercial support. FWIW
Even more so: all Macs have pretty much the same hardware. From the Air to the Studio, the same CPU cores, the same GPU cores, same auxiliary hardware like neural net processors. All enhancements should pretty much affect all Macs running Linux.

I think the mongodb example is the most "right" in that it's only the service of mongodb that gets cut off.

With that said it's a similar "issue" I remember a few years back when there were "anti-fascist"/ "" social activists"" advocate for excluding certain groups where the same issue came up, the idea may be noble but in practice causes unintented consequences.
The PineBook Pro was never fully supported by Linux despite shipping with Linux. I had one and sold it because of this. Suspend is still broken in mainline, for example. Direct NVMe booting is buggy. Hardware accelerated video is still in a weird state. Tons of tiny little things like this plague the device with many distros shipping their own fixes that never get upstreamed.

Check out this FAQ that's scoped around a custom Arch Linux ARM but gives you an idea of the pain: https://github.com/SvenKiljan/archlinuxarm-pbp/blob/main/FAQ...

From earlier tweets by Hector I remember that virtualization is working and he was able to run Mac OS inside a VM on Linux.
My main goal in this conversation wasn’t to advocate harming anybody.

I’m genuinely curious why software should be special. It’s weird!

OTOH I see this same pattern repeated over and over again in different communities.

If you go to gaming forums, you will see people generally supportive of sanctions arguing that preventing Russians from paying for videogames is a borderline crime against humanity. They’ll say it’s unacceptable to bring politics into their little club.

If you go to football forums, you’ll see Chelsea fans generally supportive of sanctions arguing that sanctioning Abramovich was a step too far (because it screws over their favourite team)

On HN you’ll see people passionately arguing against ISPs pulling out of Russia (they can hardly get paid), or malware in what essentially amounts to business software (lets face it, regular people aren’t going to have their home computers wiped by the node-ipc silliness).

Many people seem to be happy to support these things until it eventually hits too close to their own interests, then you begin to see all sort of mental gymnastics to justify how it should be different.
I think you are confusing PTP and NTP. NTP is in the range of low microseconds to a few milliseconds (with hardware time-stamping can actually do much better than that though), while PTP can synchronize time to better than 100ns.
> That's not the algorithm's fault per se;

Yes, it is. There are good recipe sites out there with authoritative, reliable content and fast loading times. Google says it prioritizes those things, I can identify sites that have them, and yet the algorithm doesn't favour them. That's the algorithm's fault no matter what memes about copyright law cause a proliferation of shitty websites.
It's probably based on AWDL, same as AirDrop. So yes, that's a proprietary peer-to-peer protocol that ignores your home network.
They counter that you want to kill unborn babies. You counter that by either arguing that technically they're not actually human yet or that women's autonomy is more important. They disagree. You disagree. Brilliant segue.
Uranium Mining - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium_mining

> The worldwide production of uranium in 2019 amounted to 53,656 tonnes.

Kazakhstan, Canada, and Australia were the top three uranium producers, respectively, and together account for 68% of world production.

Other countries producing more than 1,000 tonnes per year included Namibia, Niger, Russia, Uzbekistan, the United States, and China.
Ideas are cheap. Hacking together a PoC is too. Shipping some kind of product is a bit more difficult but the first to ship is usually a complete failure. You can point to almost <i>any</i> product category - whether computer related or not - and this holds true. Revolutionary ideas are ahead of their time both technologically and culturally. The makers don't know how to put the ideas to productive use. Then people flail around throwing product ideas at the wall to see what sticks. The implementation is often full of caveats, missing features, or is mere novelty (it folds! why? ... shutup, it folds ok).

Getting the details right is <i>really</i> hard and takes a lot of work. The last 10% takes as much work as the first 90%. Then the next 10% also takes 90%. Repeat a few more times and somehow it ends up being 1000% more difficult than you expected at the start. Often it requires merging multiple major ideas to create something that is more than the sum of its parts (then you get to watch fools who only got 1 of 50 parts correct claim they invented the whole thing).

Be assured that if you are successful a lot of people will rush to make sure you don't get any credit. I recommend you ignore them... their opinions don't matter and listening to them won't help you make better products or delight more customers.

Stay focused on what matters. Even if Slashdot calls your product "lame" it can still make a few billion. Even if HN says your idea can be done already trivially by "any linux user with curlftpfs" you can still create a startup, IPO, and become very rich. Even if someone says "we have had Mouse without Borders [...] for over a decade" you can still deliver a better experience that people will pay money for.

Just because there are existing "solutions" out there doesn't mean they are a) good or b) doing the job customers actually want them to do.

I don’t want to be experimented on like the bleeding edge companies are doing constantly. I want something solid that works.

Of course it’s not perfect but the whole ecosystem integration and solidness is far far far above anything else out there.

You can reject some notions of repeating patterns / loops in space because it would violate Lorentz covariance. You could fire a laser in one direction and the opposite, then you know your absolute position in space.
I have this Logitech software that does the same on my Windows work PC and Mac home Mac, and I can drag the mouse over and use it on both machines. Unfortunately, it does not work when my PC is on VPN (which it is all the time). Apple uses a separate Wifi connection for Universal Control, and it simply always works.
Diesels, in general, are notoriously unreliable.

The only very selective myth I still hear repeated is that diesel engines are more durable now than they were, which isn’t saying much, and skirts around just how much else can and regularly does go wrong with a diesel-powered vehicle.

Flywheel clutches are an expensive nightmare, and the vibration destroys manifolds, cams and exhausts in short order.

That’s only for the dirtiest diesels that aren’t properly using DPFs or AdBlue (which if you’re seriously considering running school buses in 2022 and not using these, you’re a disgrace). Both of these fail regularly and cost a small fortune to replace.

There’s an entire underground industry dedicated to removing the particulate filters from Diesels to improve fuel economy and reliability (because I guess some people just hate kids, who knows?).

Electric vehicles have been around for well over a decade now, the data is back on them, and on the whole they are astonishingly reliable compared to the ICE vehicles they are replacing. There’s a lot of cables, sure, but they’re flexible and aren’t inherently moving parts.
I'm a member of the team that created Polylith, so feel free to ask questions or give feedback.

Polylith has been gaining momentum within the Clojure community. As an example, you can follow along with Sean Corfield's journey migrating the World Singles codebase to Polylith: https://corfield.org/blog/2021/02/23/deps-edn-monorepo/

There's an active Slack channel, with people and teams using Polylith on both commercial and side-projects: https://clojurians.slack.com/archives/C013B7MQHJQ

Outside of the Clojure community, there's a project to port Polylith to Python, using Poetry: https://pypi.org/project/poetry-polylith-plugin/

We'd love to see it get ported to other languages too!
A 2 hour commute is insane. That's on you really.
> E.g., would you not agree that while we can ask McDonalds to stop doing business in Russia, it would be a crime for them to start poisoning their Russian customers?

In the current climate I am not sure anymore that people would disagree with poisoning Russians. Here in Germany they started to purge everything Russian (except people) and also agitating against Russians in general. It feels like we learned nothing from WW2.

From what I've seen there seem to be worldwide movements in that regard, that are even overboard for cold war propaganda.

edit: added "except people"
It is. Just you have stick the modules on the outside. Hmm.

TBF at least it’s not another iMac. I see so many of them stacked up for recycling where the logic board or power supply is duff. They still have perfectly good 5k 27” screens attached which are not duff.

I bought a studio display yesterday because I suspect it’ll outlast the iMac it’s no longer attached to.
> Crucially, though, remember to always use the front one.

This. However, many cheaper bikes have a weird-feeling front brake, so I can understand how beginner bikers may be somewhat apprehensive to use it. But to your point, this is why it's so important that riders get in the habit of using it in non-critical circumstances, so that they learn how the bike behaves.

On a separate note, I do find the rear brake useful on automatic bikes [0], in that it feels closer to slightly disengaging the clutch than the front brake does. Of course, I'm talking very slow speeds here, and realize this isn't particularly common.

[0] I'm talking about Honda's DCT, so bikes with actual clutches and gears, as opposed to a CVT.
> if Zillow says my house is worth X, why are they offering me 80% of X?

Because they want to make money. Which they can’t by buying for X and then selling for X.
There is more to it though. Like PLG encourages a freemium approach, to maximize the number of folks who can experience the product quality. As well as things like aligning user outcomes to business outcomes through usage-based pricing.
I've worked for a few sales driven companies in the past and usually there were two sales forces. There was an internal group focussed on telephone sales (they would probably be more email now). They were really just a step up from administration, accepting orders, sending out quotes, possibly generating leads.

Then there would be the real sales team who were out visiting customers and supported by the internal team. A lot of their work is keeping existing customers happy.

My gut feeling is you wouldn't have much success selling consulting via an internal team. Because of the nature of the work it is always going to be closer to the second group, more like enterprise sales.

What I find interesting now is how big some companies can get on the back of the first example. Google seems to be built on that.
I'm sticking it out, but I find that I have to fall back to Google on 1 out of 10 searches. Mostly technical ones.

But what really annoys me (and maybe I'm doing something wrong) is that one page of (slow) results is not enough. I understand that Google's 1,000,000+ results is also not necessary. But I often need more than 20. Come to think of it, I rarely need pages 2 and beyond when using Google. So maybe that's saying something about the quality of the Brave results? They're just not as good.
> That tells you SO is doing not-strictly-necessary data analytics.

That tells me that they don’t know. Making every part of the org prove that they aren’t is very expensive but doesn’t improve the service.
And you will want the latest release so you can keep up with the latest features in the languages and frameworks.
It also solves some other "ecosystem" problems.

For example I have a few iPad apps installed on my Mac, the reason being that I wanted keyboard/mouse and easier copying of content into and out of the iPad app while I was working on my desktop machine. With universal control I don't need to have the dual installs anymore, nor have to deal with the problems that would come with that (e.g. having to duplicate content across both installs).

There's also plenty of apps which the developer has barred from installing on macOS where this is the only real solution.
The image of "2018 Cherry blossom festival at Yoyogi Park" shows a very crowded place, which I'd consider nightmarish. I can't see that being conducive to experiencing many of the things mentioned in the article, including 'tranquility', 'sensitivity to things', 'appreciating nature', and the 'gentle excitement', surely there's something I'm missing or the author is missing here.

Perhaps their sensibilities are differently attuned but I cannot enjoy nature with the din of others of my kind around; or as another comment points out, this is just an excuse to consume alcohol - which would make a lot more sense!
Yes. A CEO should always be worried about bankruptcy and do everything to avoid it, but never talk about it, except if they want to file for it soon. Even if the company is shortlz before going bankrupt, it woule just drive the value down, and prevent it from getting the needed capital.

The point is not about running the code, it is about verifying you are running the code you intend to run. That is why I would prefer the instructions to be: download the code, compare against this checksum, then run it. The curl pipe thingy makes it too easy to inject entirely different code.
People found the concept of computer control over an idle stabilization valve terrifying in the early 80's. Killer cars, everyone predicted. It never materialized. The lawsuits against Audi never went anywhere, and Audi even won some counter-suits.

Most cars have drive-by-wire throttles. Hundreds of millions of cars out there, and DBW throttle failures leading to crashes are unheard of.

You know what is an issue? Ford unable to make ignition switches that don't cause cars parked in house garages to catch fire. GM cheaping out on their own ignition switches, causing them to suddenly fail while driving....and thus shutting off the engine, ABS, and airbag systems, something that is known to have caused the deaths of half a dozen people and likely tens if not hundreds of other Cruze owners.
