> HDR and SDR should have a comparable average brightness level with only "highlights" going "brighter than bright"

This is exactly how it works. When I open a video and switch between 500 nits and 1600 nits in Display Preferences, everything looks exactly the same, except for the highlights in the video. Of course outdoors daylight scenes will have a higher average brightness.

There is no point to 'high dynamic range' if a bright sky is the same brightness as a sheet of paper, or your website background; it's supposed to represent real-life brightness and contrast in photography & video, and there is no reason for your graphical interfaces to reach those light levels, i.e. Slack's white background should not be close in brightness to a cloudy sky. If they didn't "limit" non-HDR content to 500 nits (again, already above the average monitor), how would it be possible to have HDR at all?

I don't see how the content could become harder to read, when the light output is exactly the same. Your description reminds me of a shitty Benq 'HDR400' monitor, which would artificially limit the light output for non-HDR content making it gray and dull. That is not the case with the mini-led macs or better HDR monitors.
Some examples of decent HDR - these look fine next to a browser or anything else on a MBP 14", and also in Windows with HDR on:

Model railway is a really fun hobby. I built an outdoor railroad with my father over several summers while I was growing up.

He had since built a very extensive indoor O scale layout. The quality of the landscape / scenery is really high. Unfortunately we are now presented with the ‘so what do we do when he passes?’ Question.

He has started to look for a museum to donate it to and trying to offload engines before he passes. It isn’t easy to sell these days, definitely a niche hobby.

I got upsold into their 6 month package. You were supposed to get 5 super likes per day (which shows your profile to someone and tells them you like them; otherwise, you wait to maybe sometime show up in their feed and hope they pay attention). After I paid, they changed it to 5 per MONTH. It effectively made my subscription worthless, but unless I go through the hassle of contesting it on my CC, I have no recourse.
Raspberrypi is solving self-hosting issues for most people (size, power usage, simplicity).

That is the best thing I've read in the last two years.

The internet undermines a lot of this though from a technical perspective. If you are interested in things technically (building PCs! Gaming! Development!) you read the sources from better tech sites and it is not as bad as back in the day when you had newspapers and empty pretty talking heads on CNN. Well, unless you're in the echo chamber as described here...

The other thing is just that mainstream media is just AWFUL at science and technology, because journalists inherit the general anti-scientist bias of the general population and humanities domains. On "people affairs" they usually have sociology and psychology and poli sci background and instincts... they are reporters of human structures and motivations.

So I suppose it is true that they have better reporting of the affairs of non-scientists to some degree.

> What most people miss is that almost nobody pays full price for college. They have a high headline number for the wealthiest families, but virtually everyone else pays a fraction of this cost or some times nothing at all.

You're using this statement to claim that college is not actually expensive but I'm pretty sure it supports the opposite claim. Anecdotally, I was accepted into a range of universities and ended up picking ~ the worst one because that was the university which gave me the best scholarships.

If college is extremely expensive then it makes perfect sense that the only people paying full price are the people who have a lot of money: everybody else is filtered out by the high price.

The likelihood that someone tells you a place to move and they're right about it for you us low. You can work remote, utilize that fully and become location independent for a while. Move around. Stay in a place a few months, get out and try to meet local people, leave if it doesn't suit you and go somewhere else til you've found it.

You want rain and mild weather, the pacific northwest west of the cascade mountains fits the bill. Affordability and within a 90 minute drive to a metropolitan area are not going to happen there.

Closer to the ocean mediates temperature extremes. Also there's more to do. Mountains are nice too, but winters are colder. Maybe consider along the coast south of you all the way to the keys (or the Mexico border, coastal Texas is nice) or the rocky mountains.

Don't discount conservative states, towns and areas if you're not that type of person. A lot of the time the natural landscape is preserved and life is more peaceful. If you're OK with your neighbors going to church Sundays, there's an entire beautiful, low cost country to explore.

To be curt, that Tacoma is actually really really a hit or miss shithole. The part of Tacoma you're finding those apartments in, I can almost guarantee if you visit will not be the part of town you want to live in. If you look at the conforming loan limits for both King and Pierce counties - the county that Seattle and Tacoma are in respectively - they have the same limit which is like $871k I think?

There's really not much going on in Tacoma and taking the link from there to Seattle is a pain - sure its doable but you're talk about a huge hit to quality of your life. They are trying to make public transit better in the region but its a 20 year plan before its expanded to where it needs to be. The small towns around Tacoma are either military towns or also very expensive - Lakewood is basically a town for JBLM and Gig Harbor is mostly retirees cashing out and moving on the water.

Its solution for a reasonably large number of particles is therefore typically impossible,

Trading off income for job security and benefits might be a good move. Something that should be prioritized is being able to file for disability if you need to someday. I think you have to have a certain number of credits with Social Security for that - it is a concern if you haven't spent much time in the workforce.

A job with a FAANG, or a government contractor, would probably be the most stressful options.

A nonprofit or government agency will probably be the most tolerant of disabilities - but I still wouldn't formally ask for accommodations if it required sharing medical details. Definitely not unless protected by a union.

If you need time off for medical appointments, because you just feel terrible on a particular day, or even hospitalization, then don't act ashamed, but don't share any details.

Lots of people have lots of different kinds of disabilities, and if you are able to function within your allotted leave and get your work done, then nobody has a right to complain.

In terms of interviews, if you have not been able to work in the past, the key to resume gaps is to make it clear that the circumstances have changed, and there is obvious evidence of that. The only reason people care about gaps is they worry you might be flat out unemployable.

I'm super impressed that they got it to work so quickly. What I hate about crypto is that is either wrong or right, there is no "mostly working" that you can identify easily and use as a debugging aid.

This drove me crazy when I was working on kTLS in FreeBSD. When I worked on other features (like getting checksum offload right in NIC firmware) there were easy tricks I could use for debugging, like sending a stream of all zeros. For crypto, it was basically back to first principals and code examination..

I actually don't think of this as a consumer issue at all. You probably shouldn't care, but I can see why some consumers might care (e.g. how many entities have their credit card on file, concerns about privacy, a desire to allocate as much money as possible to artists...).

I think of this as a developer issue. There's good money being the middle man for transactions. Did consumers really care about the Epic/Apple IAP issue? Were there iOS users clamoring to use Epic's payment platform? I never really heard the consumer voice in that discussion. I did hear a lot of developer voices that cared about their right to charge consumers without Apple's 30% transaction cut.
It's definitely highly dependent on where you live in some ways, but in other ways it really doesn't matter. I live in a remote corner of the world that is far from any conflict zones, so I'm not worried about that side of things. But both Covid and this war have highlighted how fragile the global supply chain is and after doing a number of deep dives on how reliant our current way of life is on those supply chains that my fear is that with everything going on at once if we start to see non-linear behavior in those supply chains then we're in a whole new world. Getting to a whole new world is baked into the fundamentals of our society anyway, so regardless of whether this particular period in time is the catalyst doesn't really matter, but there sure are an awful lot of flashing red lights on the dashboard that I'm seeing.
Thanks for putting this together! This is basically what we would've written.

What a weird statement. I don't know why you put "free" in air quotes, when University education in Europe (or at least in Finland) is actually free. Also, nobody separates kids into vocational vs college-bound schools, kids themselves can choose. And if you later regret going to vocational school, you are welcome to change your mind later. Heck, even if you apply to a really competitive University track and you don't get in, you are free to attend lectures and attain course materials without being officially admitted into the University - this again is free.
To give perhaps are more relatable example: if you want an ultra-wide curved monitor, you'll probably not get a good experience if you buy any Apple monitor, because those are neither ultra-wide nor are they curved. Yes, monitors are monitors, but there are plenty of differentiating properties that make some options a really bad fit for you, and some other options a really good fit for you.

That function example is not allowed in Haskell. It's pure functional throughout, not just at "function boundaries".

I agree that conceptually a language can be made where only function boundaries are required to be side-effect free, and internally "anything goes" as long as it doesn't pollute the outside world. This might be a good model for circuit design, especially if using something like an IO monad to store persistent state across clocks, such as flip-flops or registers.

However, this is not what Haskell does, at all. There are no mutation functions like "fill(x)". You have to create the buffer filled with x right from the beginning.

More importantly, in Haskell that buffer is defined with a recursion, so it looks something like: (x,(x,(x)))

Effectively it is an immutable linked list. Any modification involves either rebuilding the whole thing from scratch (recursively!) or making some highly restricted changes such as dropping the prefix and attaching a new one, such as (y,(x,(x))).

Haskell is not LISP, F#, or Clojure. It's pure and lazy, which is very rare in functional programming. It's an entirely different beast, and I don't see how any variant of it is a good fit for circuit design, which is inherently highly stateful and in-place-mutable.

On iOS you do not have that choice with many apps because they (fairly) do not wish to fork over 30% of revenue.

So if this was introduced to iOS, the choice would be "Sign up for Netflix in the app" or "Not at all". You just do not have the option to use centralized billing on iOS with Netflix. "You download the app and it doesn’t work".

The largest atrocity was creating a power vacuum by firing the entiry Iraqi army after the war.

"After the initial invasion, most of the Iraqi military's former soldiers and officers offered little resistance to Coalition forces in the early days of the occupation. Many soldiers had simply gone home rather than openly fight the invading forces. This seeming acceptance of Coalition authority stemmed from the US military continuing to pay the salaries of Saddam's former soldiers, while promising senior Iraqi officers that they would have a major role to play "in building a new Iraq."

Paul Bremer, head of the CPA, issued an order dissolving the entire Iraqi military, as well as most civilian employees of the old government, and pledged to build a new military and government from scratch. [0]
