Pebble had an incredibly clever design for their watch apps. The watch itself had a limited processor and even more limited RAM but it could hold a few apps and those apps had a lot of capability.

Each app had both a on-watch component and an on-phone component and you could install these apps from their own app store and same app worked on both iOS and Android. They got around both the app install limitations on iOS and the cross-platform compatibility issues by making the on-phone portion run in the platform's JavaScript engine.

You could, for example, create a weather application that fetched the weather from the Internet and displayed it on the watch. The on-phone app would fetch the weather from the Internet using JavaScript code and then transmit that data to the corresponding C-based watch app. Watch apps could even have settings that were just HTML pages.

I always impressed by the cleverness and simplicity of that design.
Agricultural yields depend on many more factors than just CO2 and temperature.

There's been a lot more extreme weather events - case in point : australia (recently floods - a lot of them, and the long term drought for over a decade). I'm sure similar stories could be seen in other parts of the world.
AlaskaAir is based in Seattle and makes most of their money flying routes on the west coast (e.g. California).

Trolling often involves bad faith communication, but bad faith communication isn't necessarily trolling. Consider politicians, salespeople, and advertisers who are willing to convince by any means possible.
Homogenous is simply not true, outside of say Japan or China.

It's a popular trope thrown mostly around by Americans, and is sometimes (often) a dog whistle for racism.

It is amazing how some of the most educated people are amongst the dumbest. It literally has no impact if 100% of the mathematics we learn about are all from one race. Mathematics should be objective, either something is true or not. Who cares who discovered the various concepts?
And that's just one drive. I ran a piddling departmental backup server and we had a dual-drive library.

Four drive libraries are pretty common, too.
It's still easy to understand because it is just one rule, with no exceptions. Comparatively the OSX model is filled with arbitrary rules that depend on many factors (is another window of this app open in a maximised mode?, does the last desktop you were on have no windows?).

Even if, with time, you have become comfortable with it, it is still a more convoluted way to manage tasks.
That article isn't the original research, and I don't think the original research specifically asked about "savings accounts".

I think they're drawing on this series of studies:

Unless you are in a prominent, high level position, the worst case scenario is they let you go. You kept up with your work, even got promoted, and good engineers are hard to find these days. Don't draw attention to yourself.
This is part of the reason I only use long args in scripts... to make them more self-documenting and discoverable / less ambiguous. Takes a little more effort upfront, but no need to check man pages, help, etc for random single-char args later.

> The level of political polarization now, while high, is less than the late 1850's.

I know this is in the context of the build up to the civil war, but how much were neighbors at each other’s necks? I don’t know much about that period aside from the obvious events that followed (slavery being the huge and obvious motivator for the war), so I’m not sure how divided everybody was.

But it seems like in the US today, the divide is spread across the entire country. Nearly everybody is aligned with either A or B group and agrees with nearly straight down the column with that group’s general viewpoints. Some areas lean A or B, but you’ll always have someone vehemently against the other group no matter where you go. I don’t think the US today would have a north-south divide so much as it would a political party divide.
Skipping to very end:

"In any case, it is a perfectly simple matter to view the cathode ray screen through a small sheet of lead glass. Since lead glass can stop the penetrating radiation from a powerful X-ray tube the use of such a simple precaution should clear away any possibility of danger from soft easily absorbed rays from the cathode tube - even assuming that such rays existed."

The TVs we all grew up with operated at, if I recall correctly, 17kV, not just 400-800V like this thing. And we had our "lead glass", at least by the '70s.
To extend further perhaps it is only useful to care as far as your influence, motivation, and energy reach. And perhaps the happiest of us at all levels of the ladder are the ones who understand their capabilities and match their care accordingly.
A Metro (Seattle) bus driver can easily earn $100k, but the range is crazily from $15k to $130K/year, assuming the upper end is someone in it for awhile working full time, and the lower end is very part time.
I always thought venv solved a problem of multiple dependency versions on the same system, without conflicting. Go modules already handled that pretty well. This is specifically for cases where you have modules you are using in some code that you also want to actively develop on, and you would rather not constantly push code to a hosted VCS just to be able to `go get server.com/my/dependency@some/branch`, which is the primary use case modules solve: code versions from remotes in a consistent and verifiable way.

Workspaces just simplifies that workflow so that you can make changes locally in `a` which is used by `b` without ever pushing `a`, and without needing them to be within the same module.
I know what HTM stands for. I'm asking what is "HTM layer".

> However, that keyboard doesn’t have the Option (⌥) or Command (⌘) keys like on my Macbook.

What? Option is literally just the "alt" key, and Command is the "windows" key - I haven't seen a keyboard without a Windows key in almost twenty years, maybe more. There's also a UI to switch the Alt/Opt and Win/CMD keys so the functionality is on the same placement as the laptop keyboard (alt and win are switched).
Moving around in lines is a complete mystery to me on my new MBP, having used Windows and Linux exclusively for ~20yrs. Throw in some various terminal programs and tmux and vim and oh god the horror.
Fox News and conservative talk radio have existed since the early 1990s yet the extreme polarization in American life didn't begin until ~2010, which appears to prove Haidt's point.
In 1996 Sun bought Lighthouse Design (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighthouse_Design), a NeXT software house, and then largely abandoned it when Sun went all in on Java. I don't think a Sun acquisition of NeXT (either just the technology or the entire company) would have went well for the future of NeXT given Sun's commitment to Java during the rest of the 1990's.
I hate the commands that pretend that the only way to bring up help is "--help" and that "-h" isn't anything. Just show the help text, you know "-h" means I want help.
How do you figure Rust handles this better than Ada? Ada's runtime has always been configurable. You can customise the runtime library fairly easily to strip out things that don't suit your target platform. Most compilers even ship with a 'Zero Footprint (zfp)' runtime which is designed for minimal overhead.

You could make the exact same argument about C if you wanted. C's standard library, as implemented for most operating systems, is poorly suited for real-time systems too. That's why it's modified to be fit for purpose when targeting them.

Whether people know it or not, they've been living in the Ada world for a long time. A good deal of the world's critical real-time systems have been running on Ada for decades. Flight, and fire control systems in aircraft, Many major ATC systems, etc. The list goes on, and on.

How is that going to work out politically? You think a majority of voters are gong to support banning all personal automobiles? In the US, banning personal firearms is non-starter, and car ownership is even more deeply embedded.

As a parent of a toddler, I have read plenty of books where gay or lesbian parents are mentioned in the story in passing. In context it's a nice way to acknowledge that different types of families exist without drawing attention to them. My understanding is that these books would no longer be allowed in a Florida classroom. And even if they're technically allowed the chilling effect of a law that may lead to lawsuits will probably effectively ban them anyway. And for what? For maybe one or two children in the class to never see a representation of their family in a classroom? Seems kind of sad to me.
Never used them, but from your description sounds either like (a) they are in trouble and trying to profit somehow off funds (by way of interest? I don't know) or (b) they are raising money (from private investors or IPO), and need an accounting change that would allow them to list customer funds as "revenue", which they might be able to under the new scheme in some way, and likely weren't able to in the old scheme.

Does digitization remove the negative consequences of communicating in bad faith?

In that sense, does it change the game, just through removing those consequences and thus making bad faith a more attractive strategy than it would be otherwise (e.g. face to face reputation based communication)?

Maybe you are right and positing it as a game is itself reductive, and gets people into a zero-sum mindset, rather than viewing conversation as a win-win.
I always found windows (not the os) to be pretty annoying. Having a full screen app, or two full screen apps side by side is way more usable than a window on top of another that keeps getting lost, or you have to move it around all the time to see what’s underneath.
Yeah, for over $1M apiece, they'd better be! However, most of them got downed according to Russia and I can't recall any recent Ukrainian footage with them! The drones are manufactured by Erdogan's son-in-law's company as far as I remember!
I think business class only flights exist for trans Atlantic flights (well, just one biz-only airline left: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_class_airline). Definitely the Concord was single luxury class, but it was cramped (acceptable due to its speed).

A business class only plane would have ticket prices equivalent to business class tickets on a normal flight.
Everyone who's used jira understands that they don't hire good engineers. If they did, it wouldn't be So. Damn. Slow.

They're almost certainly rebuilding something from scratch.

If it were an AWS system limitation, almost all of those can be lifted if you ask nicely and are a big account.
VR enthusiast here, Oculus was absolutely gutted of its core morals, its core goal, and the majority of its original talent. Oculus insisted they'd never require a Facebook account, and now they do. They've fully rebranded to Meta. They were focused on PC VR gaming, and now they're focused on mobile based social experiences with some garbage laggy interface to get PC VR if you're outlandish enough to want that. They only retain compatibility with other VR standards to appease their customers, but it just results in additional lag and a messy experience.

Facebook purchased Oculus before they sold a single consumer unit. Any headset that wasn't sold by Facebook was a dev kit you had to apply for. (edit: looked up the original kickstarter, they did sell 6-7k dev kit units, which was mostly targeted towards game devs. After the KS the DK2 was sold on an application basis. The consumer versions that moved 10mm+ units were 2 years after Facebook's acquisition.)

I've clocked 10k+ hours with silly screens strapped to my head and I am deathly afraid of what Facebook has done and continues to do to the VR industry. The "metaverse" existed long before Zuckerberg set his sights on it, and he's already killing it.
I'm tempted to say not to mistake local tourist traps for high quality goods.

This is tough, as a lot of artistic items have quality control that is purely subjective. But, often these places are not much more curated than the vendor room of a convention. There will be some nice things; but claims of curation are all too often over sold.

If "the problem" you refer to is "climate change", i don't see how it is capitalism's fault. Under any communism economics, the same climate change "problem" would occur, if the lifestyle of today is kept the same.

Of course, if you argue that there wouldn't be as much development and energy use under communism, then i agree - but that means the "problem" is not the economic system, but lifestyle and energy use. If people were willing to sacrifice their energy use - aka, no cars, no transport, no plastic products etc.

Reddit isn't a reliable source for deciding what "Americans" do
> We see it in cultural evolution too, as Robert Wright explained in his 1999 book, Nonzero: The Logic of Human Destiny. Wright showed that history involves a series of transitions, driven by rising population density plus new technologies (writing, roads, the printing press) that created new possibilities for mutually beneficial trade and learning. Zero-sum conflicts—such as the wars of religion that arose as the printing press spread heretical ideas across Europe—were better thought of as temporary setbacks, and sometimes even integral to progress.

100% one of my favorite books to have run into as a youth, a great great materialist philosphy book.

Feels like a very weirdly reductionist take thought, making mock rather than taking seriously what cooperation enabled. There's scant recognition of what zero sum systems are, of how cooperation moves things out of stagnant points into better.

Such a loved text & tbis article starts off paying some respect, but ultimately missing the point so so bad, only starting to re-entertain human possibility.
Sure, makes sense! It's a tough balance to strike, to be both informative enough to cover all the cases and slim enough to show only the breaking changes.

The article has been on HN for an hour. It has 8 comments, 5 of which were my first thought - why on earth would you expect this service to hang around, based on Google's track record?

Wether it lasts or not, this surely has to be an issue for Google innovations going forward? If the perception is that any new thing will die, especially not-consumer-scale things, then how do they build traction?
It was more cramped because the flight only lasted 3.5 hours (NYC to Paris), you didn't need lie flat seats on a trans Atlantic flight that could go so quickly, in theory at least.

Also, when did Seattle flight museum get a Concorde? Its been a couple of years for me, but I'm surprised they have one. Looking on the website, it is outside...maybe we just missed it somehow?
Uh, no, it does not prove his point in any way. For that, he'd need to establish any causal link, which he utterly fails to do.
I said 'a strain in left-wing thought views the "traditional family" with extreme suspicion.' I didn't say "the majority of Democrats". The polls in question demonstrate that Democrats (though only the white ones) are proportionally more likely than Republicans to make statements in tension with a desire for 2-parent households. OP asked for hard data to back up the hypothesis that Republicans are stronger in their political commitments to 2-parent households than Democrats, and I tried to produce something like that. If you have more compelling data that points in the opposite direction, by all means post it.

On large (>24-inch) monitors I prefer windows, but on smaller monitors I typically prefer full screen apps, for the reasons you mention.
It would be great for people who desire good faith communication to call out people who are resorting to bad faith techniques. Especially, and most importantly, when those bad actors are of the same political stripe.

It's impossible for those bad actors to hear criticism from "the enemy". Only people who share a position of almost total fundamental agreement, can maybe be heard in any criticism of how to better deal with the opposition.

TLDR: We should be most aggressive and loud in criticism of those we agree with most.

Restoring everything from backups is very hard.

Something that can make restore-from-backups harder, and that I've seen happen, is when the backup/restore systems themselves get destroyed by the same black swan event. Then you have to first recover those by doing fresh installs, and you have to have all the people on hand who know what the configurations would have been to be able to then use the backup library. Then you have to begin restoring a few target systems to check that everything is OK with the restore process, then you have to restore everything though you'll be limited by the restore system's bandwidth.

How could this happen? Well, a disgruntled employee could make it happen. It happened at Paine Webber in 2002 [0]. In that case the attacker left a time bomb in the boot process on all systems they could reach, and that included the backup/restore servers. Worse, the time bomb was in the backups themselves, so restored systems ate themselves as soon as they were booted, which slowed down the recovery process.

No, because they can benefit even more from recklessness than the expected profit/PR damage. Someone already mentioned Tesla, but there is also the Volvo emissions scandal, Boeing's safety failures, and many more examples.

At the extreme end, picture a company that manages to get an okay from the city of SF for public testing, but whose internal tests show there is a small but significant risk of serious accidents and the product needs another two years of development to be safe. Their funding runs out in one year.

Yes, and solar eclipses are the most noticeable astronomical event. Since the mechanism's precision is to the day, this makes it a 10,000 years * 365 days = 3,650,000:1 chance of being a coincidence.
I would love a bit of explanation about why the shift register ICs were spread out so far on the circuit board. Your diagram [1] shows two sets right next to each other with a third set on practically the opposite side of the board. It would almost seem easier to have them all right next to each other so they could cleanly shift. Why the separation?

To say nothing of communication issues caused by social media users themselves, the platforms can have built-in miscommunication. For example, on reddit your removed comments are shown to you as if they are live, as shown here [1]. You can try it yourself in r/CantSayAnything [2].

You can be having a conversation with someone that suddenly stops because a 3rd party removed the last reply. Often, neither of the speakers is aware this happened, making it appear to each as if the other ghosted the discussion.

Ok but I still don’t want you or a random teacher talking to my 6-year old kid about his weiner and what he can do with it. It would seem that many parents feel the same way.
It also, to the grandparent's point, would not really necessitate anyone spending anything differently. The amount employers pay to private healthcare plans instead becomes a corporate tax; the amount individuals pay to private healthcare plans instead becomes an individual tax. But just by dint of it all going to the same pool, which now covers everyone, gives such massive pricing power that all those "$64 for an aspirin" BS charges will be cut to be in line with, yeah, any other country.
Not really chief. You can use internet explorer, Word, and browse websites for 10+ years and that makes you a longtime windows user.

Now, tell me, does someone who browses Facebook in IE and learns a lot of windows commands going to understand why another operating system does things differently?

They won’t, because they’re new to computers, and are still, shocker, logically a longtime windows user.

You can be pedantic about my terminology but the logic is sound.
