> It’s too early to say and I’m too cynical to anyways, but it’s starting to feel like the release of the M1s really has injected a bit of life and taste back into the scene.

If anything, this creates a justification for using Electron. "Macs are too fast, even when using Rosetta, so who cares if we use Electron?"
The only source I can find on this list are previous HN comments. Searching for some of them is turning up nothing outside of that. Do you have a link to these, or a better search option than Google or the latimes.com's search?

EDIT: Also found a screenshot of the list on Reddit. Seems it's been bouncing around for a few years, never with any supporting evidence.
I agree to this.
No, instead Apple has Catalyst to give things that slightly janky, cheap-port feel.
Cool! Adding to the feature requests, can you enable vim-like navigation? WASD is a hazy memory compared to HJKL.
Not if they are built and operated correctly.
(Cofounder @ Remotion here.) One challenge with hiring macOS devs is that they don't usually come from cookie-cutter backgrounds. For example, they might have been indy devs, or consultants for a while. And those folks often fare poorly in traditional tech interviews.
Hiring for macOS led us to drop standard loops in favor of contracts, projects, or however the candidate can best demonstrate skills. We have a recent blog post about "objective-based recruiting" here: https://www.remotion.com/blog/standardized-interviews-stifle...
Also, second home 30 year fixed rates spiked in February for some reason I forget so I just got a 10/1 ARM myself as the rate was like 1% lower or something than a 30 year fixed.
Would it be the same in a hypothetical completely homogeneous gas?

My assumption is that turbulent changes in pressure cause diffraction, causing the light to not take a perfectly straight path. I don’t know enough about physics to know if that’s right.
Lawyers did their jobs and sought alternative explanation where possible, exhausting the explanations until it wasn't reasonable or plausible. 3M is a huge corporation, and corporations run on algorithms coded as laws, regulations, and company rules, which are executed by employees.

It's not surprising or even noteworthy for 3M to deny culpability until they can't. Not that it's good or right or ethical, but corporations are rule based non human entities that shouldn't be viewed as equivalent to or extensions of humans. They often behave inhumanely and despicably because the rules allow them to do so. That's a failure of the rules and system in which they operate. Bad actors, like the Sackler family, can direct a corporation down a legitimately evil path, but usually the negative externalities aren't the fault of companies.

If 3M takes responsibility and cleans it up, or puts resources into figuring out how, I would see that as a good thing. If they shuffle things around, draw out the resolution, screw people over, then they'd be joining Nestlé and their ilk.

We need better corporate models and incentives. "What we can get away with" is not a great lower limit on behavior, but since it's what we have, we should assume that and account for it when regulating business.
Thanks for your kind words, Nicolas!
Is there any solution that doesn’t either involve developed countries lowering their quality of life or preventing developing nations from cheaply industrializing?
I'd love to hear more about anyone who has managed to use mutagen as a docker-compose replacement. I have so far been a bit let down by mutagen in that it doesn't really seem to be living up the promises of really being easier than using docker directly. Its file synchronization concepts also don't always seem to keep up with file watchers and hot reload

I've been looking at something like Lando[0] as a result, and I realize they're not the same thing, it seems like it is more fitting with the role for the development environment, at least.

I don’t have an answer for you, but this is a niche I look forward to if AR ever becomes “real”. The ability to negate personal location in a way that feels natural would unlocks all sorts of fulfilling opportunities - like playing TTRPGs with a group scattered all over the world.

I would also like to enjoy the pleasure of interaction and role play involved in traditional TTRPGs while hiding the design complexity behind some video game assistance (because I’m old and busy and can’t hardly devote the time to prepping a 5e DND adventure even though I’ve done it several times before).
Becoming one of the most famous public intellectuals of all time?
Other countries, such as the UK, have had postal voting for a long time. I've heard no evidence that there's systematic abuse.

What destroys trust is not postal voting. It's a losing party actively spreading disinformation in an attempt to discredit an election result they don't like.
One enveloppe is given to you on the polling station when you show your id and it is checked against the voter list.

You have then to go to a place where you are hidden when you put your ballot inside the enveloppe

Once the election is over, when counting if one enveloppe has more than one ballot it is counted as "nul" (void ballot). Enveloppe number is checked against the number of voting people who showed up.

Regular citizen volunteers are doing the opening and counting. Candidates can designate people of their choice to monitor each counting table. Everyone can write a remark on things not done to rules in an official document.

The "Conseil Constitutionnel" will rule on the voting process and issue a detailed report.

There is a lot of interesting work related to computation using shapes in the Shape Grammar[0] field. With shape grammars, rather than using computer vision to parse the pixels, computation can be done using the intrinsic properties of shapes. There is some great work being done at Georgia Tech in Dr. Economou's Shape Computation Lab[1]. For beginners, they have created an unsigned binary adder using purely shape representations as numbers[2].

> To get an ID in USA: - Hope you still are in possession of the only copy of your birth-certificate. - If not, hope that your church/city-hall, can provide you a copy. - Go to the DMV, birth-certificate, two proof of residences. - Wait couple of weeks to receive by mail.

Do you live in the U.S. or do you just read about it online? I live in a historically Republican county that is suburban/rural. I needed a replacement copy of my son's birth certificate the other day. I went over to my county records office (which is 5 minutes away) and they gave me a copy in 30 minutes.

Waiting six weeks to get an ID in France? In my state your drivers license is delivered in under 10 days, typically just 4-5.

MS Teams has to work cross platform or no one would use it, they'd be "Slack except worse because part of your team can't have it."

It's not like Apple is maintaining iMessage anywhere except their own platforms. And even with that, until very recently the Mac version was second class compared to iOS, only catching up when Marzipan/Catalyst let them share one codebase between the two versions.

So that's not exactly Apple using Electron, but it's still a good example of "Even a giant company like Apple has trouble effectively maintaining separate cross platform versions of the same product."
Vouching for you was acceptable in Slovakia/Czechia in past, but it seems they removed it in recent years since I can't find any information about it, but I clearly remember if election commitee member could confirm your identity or 1-2 other people they could let you vote even without any ID card.

Btw. there is really no registration in Czechia/Slovakia, you will get voting tickets automatically to your permanent residence address without any additional registration, registration is necessary only if you want vote via mail or you want voting pass to vote outside your permanent residence.
Yep, couldn't agree more.

I compost, watch what I buy and also own an EV. But as someone who went to engineering school I fully acknowledge that my actions basically don't even move the needle. There will always be people with less education or simply less means than me that quite frankly just have bigger issues. I think the big mistake alarmists make is blaming consumers and not huge companies like Exxon.

Even among my educated friends, it's clear that people acknowledge climate change but the ever increasing alarmism of "the world will end in 46 months" is flat out not helping. I barely got through 15 minutes of "Don't Look Up" which was clearly a bizarre politically charged hit-piece.

In the meantime I'll keep working with my local town's redwood conservancy and continue growing redwood saplings in my rural greenhouse :)
Elon Musk to address Twitter staff after internal outcry
It may actually make sense for a nation to try and protect public trust in the electoral process.

We have gone in the opposite direction in the United States, and my gut tells me that mail in ballots to every mailbox (and in dumpsters and boxes left randomly by te side of the road) wasn’t a good thing for our nation, in the greater sweep of history.
Like it was pre-prepared. Climate change articles get quickly jumped on here with energetic negativity and are often flagged out. It's fascinating to watch; but a sign of a healthy debate, it is not.
If I told a person in a war zone there was a planetary crisis that would guarantee the death of the children or grandchildren, I don't have a doubt in the world they would care about it. Just because someone living in danger or poverty doesn't make them a fool or a coward.
Fine with me, it just means I'm not going to use this. On an individual basis that's fine, but if you intend to get some B2B action by selling this app to shops and groups >25 people, you should be aware that supporting only one OS is going to make it a lot harder to pick your app.

Again though, serve whatever niche fulfills you. I don't even know what their app is/does after reading this article, so I'm going to assume it's not a life-changer so much as it is a native version of something we already have.
They read it, or had it read to them - but they learned the wrong lesson.

Why do you think DoT is better?

Notable features DoH gets by being HTTP include:

An extra (encrypted) configuration point in the form of a pathname, DNS privacy servers can use this to offer you a distinct feature set e.g. maybe you want them to blackhole ads but not porn, another user wants no porn 'cos they're worried about their kids, and I want full fat. NextDNS offers this I believe.

Error messages aren't restricted to what can be expressed in DNS itself. So instead of NXDOMAIN the error can tell me myblanket.example was blocked because it's an advertising source, or that gooogle.example wasn't found but maybe it's a typo and I should try google.example ?

Not all cities are… things like that don’t happen in my city
Social unrest is being driven by climate issues, which makes these things largely secondary to it.
Yeah it seems I am misremembering things. I found out around the same time as you but thank you for taking the time to clear this up anyway.
They've actively lied to people.

They intentionally deceive people.

For example: Their contact information is in WHOIS for countless domains. If you send an abuse complaint to the address in WHOIS, you get a form response telling you to fill out a form on a web site, which is clumsy, slow, has tons of errors, and basically makes the whole process time consuming and arduous.

The form response implies but does not state that they ignore abuse complaints unless abuse is reported in their shitty web form. I asked repeatedly for clarification. They answered with bullshit and sidespeak and WOULD NOT ANSWER DIRECTLY for months.

In a nutshell: they don't want you to report abuse, and they make it hard on purpose, and they're assholes about answering simple, direct questions. Why? Because they make money from spammers and scammers.

They've told me that phishing sites they host that claim to be Adobe ("Flash Updaters") or Bank of America are exercising "free speech". They just don't want to be bothered.

And the whole "We don't host" bullshit: if you provide services on the Internet that contribute to stuff on the Internet working, and if you stopped providing those services, that stuff would stop working, YOU'RE HOSTING. It doesn't matter if it's just DNS, or if it's a caching proxy - you're still facilitating services on the Internet. But just listen to their absolute bullshit about how they "don't host", and you know they're shitty people.

That doesn't even touch on how they're intentionally stratifying the Internet by putting CAPTCHAs on everything and blocking the poor half of the world, and how, if they had their way, they'd be a monopoly that would re-centralize and completely stratify the whole planet...

Was Bluray technologically superior and more expensive?

It wasn't really superior, in some ways it was better (more capacity per layer) but then lost out by using less efficient codec's, and requiring a significantly more powerful processor to run java rather than having a custom scripting/overlay function while lacking various features (like networking). Much of what HD-DVD had out of the box didn't manage to make it into the bluray specs until a couple years later (revision 2.0 IIRC https://www.cnet.com/culture/blu-ray-profile-1-0-1-1-2-0-exp...).

Some things never made it, like the fact that HD-DVD was region free. The PS3 was a contributing factor but a minor one, In what basically was a studio fight over consumer friendliness (DRM, region locking, backwards compatibility with DVDs since they could be pressed on the backside, instant play requirements, etc), and which camp was willing to pay larger bribes to "win" before the dual mode players became the majority since the later hardware requirements for bluray made it basically capable of also playing HD-DVDs. Plus, streaming was becoming an ever more present topic.

To this day, the bluray experience tends to be worse than HD-DVD as so few blurays ever behaved like HD-DVD (universal iirc being the notable exception since they appear to have ported their HD-DVD interfaces to bluray for a while) when it comes to just playing the movie when the disk is inserted and overlaying menus over the movie as its playing.
>> We are nowhere near exaggerating it.

If you want to talk about the "climate crisis", I'm going to keep pointing to the lack of good modeling in regard to water vapor and air travel (which has a specific phase relationship with sunshine that must be taken into account). I'll also try to dig up that graph correlating the rise in air travel with temperatures. I'll insist that even if I accept human cause of these changes (which I'm willing to do), it is reasonably likely due to air travel and you can't show otherwise without those models.
I'm sure they would care in an abstract sense. Probably they would not agree that nobody should be talking about the suffering they are going through. I have friends and family in Ukraine right now, and I've not heard anyone say anything remotely like they wished people were focusing on the climate instead.

This fact about the energy efficiency of human locomotion is frequently mentioned.

However, what is not mentioned is that this high efficiency is attained only when humans walk or when they run slowly, much more slowly than almost any other animal of a similar size.

This ability would not have been of any use, had it not developed simultaneously with the ability of throwing sticks and stones much faster than any prey animal could accelerate.

High endurance, even at slow speeds, was perfect for following the track of an animal wounded by a throwing weapon, until it became exhausted and it could be caught easily.

Otherwise, walking randomly across the plains, with the hope of encountering by chance an animal which was exhausted enough to not be able to escape from your very slow, but efficient, running, would have been a losing strategy.
What are you trying to argue? That we should not care about climate change because there are reporters who live in expensive cities? Or that no-one living in Los Angeles is allowed an opinion?
Also you receive by snail mail the voting paper piece for each candidate (and 1 page document each on their program) before the election takes place.
This is not true, there are a multitude of resources out there to assist in purchasing a home with little to no equity or down payment. This does not help though, when the base cost of housing itself is on the rise. If you had paid literally any amount of attention to the housing market in the past 2 years you would have noticed this trend.
Therapy is what happens in a third place (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_place)

The climate crisis was interrupted by the Covid crisis, which resulted in a change of way of life that was harmful to the environment (masks in the water, more delivery is using more fossil fuels).
I've been trying to do that... but the code is so opaque in terms of pointers and pointer math that I can't really tell what's going on.

Example:

*(--(char*)hash_ptr.parm.v.p) = fpop(sst);

I know that pointer math in C is weird, and increment/decrement aren't necessarily +/- 1, but rather the size of the object pointed to??? THis is one of the first things that blows up when you compile it with a modern gcc.

I totally agree with what you say. To add on that, effects of Russian war in Ukraine may have extraordinary effect on global climate, given that to limit consumption of Russian oil and gas Europe invests more in renewables and even considers building new nuclear power plants.
more specific than just cool, it sometimes means the opposite of debased (: to lower in status, esteem, quality, or character. : to reduce the intrinsic value of (a coin) by increasing the base-metal content )

Here's an idea. We could use differently-shaped connectors for different purposes!

Time to admit USB-C was a naïve idea that gave us a mélange of compromises and inconsistencies, thoroughly coated in squid ink.*

* Apparently USB-C specifies the color must be black. There goes that method (color-coding) of identifying different capabilities.
Hmm. While I agree with the premise here I decided to track down some of these articles by putting some of them into a search engine.

I found a subset of this list here, with links to sources. But most of the sources aren't LA Times: https://www.aei.org/carpe-diem/50-years-of-failed-doomsday-e...

But others, I couldn't find at all:

I'm not sure what to think about this list. I would be extremely interested in the source articles, if they're actually out there.
I think there is a difference between features of the editor and editing method. Following your logic - if there is already Notepad, why create TextPad, Atom, Word, VSCode etc...
First, I misread your comment as YouTube being integral for long-term content storage of videos, but I think this is still a useful example:

The Memorial Service after the 22 July attacks in Norway [1] is only available for the public at youtube [2]. The national broadcasting agency, NRK, has a really good web player with a lot of shows and materials [3], but due to copyright issues, they cannot show the memorial service - despite this being, in my opinion, one of the most significant moments in modern Norwegian history. Even the official teaching materials related to the 22 July attacks are referring to the youtube recording [4]

False dichotomy; we can - and are - doing multiple things at once. Absolutism isn't going to work, I mean if you want to deal with the climate crisis effectively, just elect me God-Emperor and I'll take care of it. Many of you will die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

That's interesting. Generally those would be called Adjustable-Rate Mortgages in the US and they are seen as pretty toxic. A major cause of the 07-08 crash can be attributed to those loans and their rates suddenly skyrocketing over a short period of time to the point that millions could no longer afford their monthly payments and defaulted.
Them calling it merely "sub-millimeter" seems a bit like selling it short. The image in the article is about 1500 pixels wide (the stone part of it), and is 36mm according to Wikipedia. [1] I measured some fine details to be about three pixels in size. That would be 72 µm, which perhaps gives a different idea than a hand-wavy "sub-millimeter". For comparison, Intel's 8008 has a node size of 10 µm.

(I hope I got the measurements and units correctly. The numbers seem slightly too impressive, corrections welcome.)
