Perhaps slightly tangential - I listened to a set of lectures on genetics[0], one of the biggest takeaways for me was that although it's apparent diet is one of the largest[1] (I forget if it is the largest) factors in cancer rates, we aren't sure which foods in particular cause dramatic increases or decreases in cancer probability

[0] - https://www.thegreatcourses.com/courses/understanding-geneti...
[1] - we believe it is a large factor due to the fact migrants adopt the same cancer rate when they join the native population
We call ours the "stage". Merge conflicts are just a "please wait" signal. The way it works is:

- the stage is always up-to-date with the target branch (so if it updates, we re-merge all topics on top of the new target branch head)
- topics should pass CI standalone before being staged
- the stage is first-come first-served, so "later" topics have to wait
- updating a topic puts it at the end of the line
- topics should really go through the stage before landing in the target branch

Conflicts (content or logical) will cause a topic to have to wait until the conflicting topic has landed in the target branch before it can participate in the stage. This usually only affects topics working in the same area.

Our library implementing this: https://gitlab.kitware.com/utils/rust-git-topic-stage

However, given your later metric of 10+ conflicts per topic…I suspect your project is still in the "getting off the ground" phase where a stage is awfully heavy process because there aren't "bright line" distinct sections of the code yet. Or your topics are too big. Hard to say.
I'm in the same boat, I cut the cord in 2008 and truly feel that my kids had a better experience as youths. Having cable tv in a hotel was a huge deal for them, although they didn't really understand commercials.
This is a super-frequently discussed topic among electronic musicians. No question software has become dominant, but I think the main argument for why hardware hasn't been "wiped out" is more or less what you said - interacting with a dedicated piece of hardware with knobs, faders, keys is a very different experience than typing and clicking or tapping on a touch screen. You can use MIDI controllers for PCs/tablets, but it's still not quite the same, as you have to configure your controller for each plugin, etc. There's some advanced controller interfaces like the Maschine that have a deeper integration between the software and hardware. But then you're still tethered to a computer, which some people dislike.
Not saying you're right or wrong, but the landscape during the Qwikster fiasco was so dramatically different, it may as well have been a different market.

Large hadron collider: A revamp that could revolutionise physics
This strikes me as the preamble to some "it's like law but oN thE BloCkChAiN" pitch, which ignores that law is designed to be interpreted by human beings, and by definition does not operate like code. Ask any lawyer preparing for a trial, they'll tell you that they have an idea how strong their case is but you really don't have any idea how it will turn out until the arguments are made. This is by design.

Replacing the system wholesale is... an incredibly naïve solution, to say the least.

Yeah, an interaction that could have easily been an asynchronous e-mail before is now an interruption (or multiple interruptions) in Slack. Unfortunately, my corporate culture is heavily Slack-oriented, so turning it off entirely isn't an option for me. I do configure my Slack channels to disable @here notifications, to avoid the people who abuse that feature. (Hey, let's interrupt 100 people with a question, not just the three who might know the answer we're looking for!)

I also find it hard to search for saved messages in Slack. If someone said something in Slack that actually needs to be remembered for more than a day, I'll just copy it into an e-mail so it can be searched for, archived, forwarded, etc. If the message would have been an e-mail to begin with, it would have been less work. If a Slack message requires more than a couple of sentences as a reply, I always reply that I'll be replying by e-mail.

So... not a big fan of Slack.
Our CI pipeline actually just runs `pre-commit run -all` on the repo too. So we know if someone doesn't have it turned on. But I could definitely see taking mypy out of pre-commit, and having it just be a CI step. Rather than waiting the minute on the commit to happen.

In the reverse, some days ago somebody wrote that also '77777' may be the result as a randomly generated number, think about somebody asking for 'your lucky number?' and all the other people (probabilly thought in/told numbers from 1 to XX), some choose the same numbers and you are the only one answering: 'ma lucky number's 37289!' and all the people around are watching you saying: 'hu?' So saying that a number may be perceived as random ^^ ...may be valid in terms of your topic 'computer-graphics' (for what people see -or even think they do ?!) (-;

A small performance improvement for avoiding GC isn't the reason I use Rust.

* docs: e.g. detailed API docs and amazing error messages

* community: e.g. great interactions on GitHub issues

Ironically, one that will probably not be willing to take the compliance risks of working with all the developers who are doing crypto operations, given how much they have to lose after investing in this bank and messing up AML.

They could carve a lucrative niche for themselves though, this looks slightly more competitive than the state-sponsored crypto banks in Wyoming for the customer. Unless something goes wrong.
I've never been into "flow tv", and about 2 decades ago i simply stopped watching anything but the news, and that only for 30-60 minutes per day, and shortly after that i simply read the news on the internet and completely stopped watching "normal" tv.

Since then, i've only had streaming services, and my consumption is somewhere around 3-5 45 minute episodes per week. I have watched maybe 4 normal length movies since i had kids 13 years ago, and zero "extended length" (3 hours'ish) movies.

Recently though, i find myself to be even more picky. These days i still watch 3-5 episodes per week, but my viewing is usually done late friday and saturday evening, and the rest of the week i generally prefer a good book instead.

In April alone, i've watched 5 x 45 minute episodes in total, and read 3 books of 800 pages or more, so perhaps i'm coming full circle :)
I had pondered whether an API-first bank existed just the other day, searched, but was unimpressed with what I found.

> The really funny thing is how the "STATES' RIGHTS" free market conservatives get upset and indignant when an individual state does something to regulate things within its own borders.

I’m an independent liberal and I’m pretty apathetic about NN (none of the doomsday stuff has manifest, but it doesn’t seem like passing NN would be harmful either and also I would rather solve ISP issues with antitrust regulation). That said, this feels like a straw man or nut picking. I haven’t heard of any conservatives getting mad over this, and anyway there’s nothing inconsistent about arguing that NN at the federal level is a breach of states’ rights while also arguing against California implementing it because you think it’s bad policy.

The biggest takeaway that I get from these comments is that HN users seem to either dislike fun hardware or just don't understand what the use case is.

The Playdate is a novel, low-powered, handheld console intended for experiemental indie game design and has been marketed as such.

Comparisons to a Nintendo Switch or a Steam Deck seem very pointless since these consoles are very much not targeting the same end users.
It would be like complaining that you shouldn't buy a Raspberry Pi since a Mac Mini is better for your average user.

I agree that the price is a bit steep, but that is to be expected when you are not producing at a volume.
In my view it's both. I'm one of those "scientific" programmers. I've used type hints, just to learn it, but tend not to use them in practice. Bugs caused by typing errors seem to be extremely rare in my little world.

I've also programmed extensively in Pascal, assembly, and C. I get it about types. Don't forget C has 8 different types of integers that have to be kept straight. ;-)

On the other hand, I realize that any of my programs is but a little nub of code sitting on top of large and expertly maintained libraries. I'm grateful for whatever the authors of those libraries are doing to keep their sanity, and am not surprised when I see type hints in those codes.
Don't let these people discourage you. You are starting up and by the fact that you already got people's attention in HN, that shows that you are onto something greater. Keep the good work!
By pc you mean "program counter"?
Keeping your snaps including the browser > 90 days behind in security patches seems like a really bad idea. It's better you have to actively postpone it periodically, having weighed the vulnerabilities publicized & fixed vs whatever your motivation to holding the update, rather than have a fail-open type of configuration that you can forget in the "not updating" state. Firefox fixes and makes public a RCE vulnerability quite frequently, more than once a month on average.

Also, if you want to have a more leisurely pace of browser functionality changes, you can also choose Firefox ESR that still receives timely security fixes.

I think the dichotomy is bland and no society has socialism or capitalism implemented strictly.

There are always goods that belong to everyone and goods that belong to individuals in any country. You could draw the line anywhere and experience tells us that if we draw it too strictly near one extreme, it basically isn't sustainable for most.
Netflix offered to pay for the circuit upgrade in the case of Verizon. They're both present at some of the facilites, so upgrading would be a small matter of adding more interconnects.. Verizon refused point blank.
Stack grows down because it can then potentially use the same as unused heap (which grows from bottom)

But then again, HPPA makes it more obvious that stack should be limited size because the above only works for single-threaded processes

Worse things about HPPA is delayed jumps... no wonder they were the ones that partnered with Intel on Itanium.

Network has no natural order (do you start with the last bit?)... for new stuff I'd do the little-endian any way if I cared to bother.
I use the Minimal Twitter extension to remove everything. I have a chronological twitter feet with no ads and no suggestions. I go in maybe 2-3 times a day for 5-10 minutes, scroll down and like/respond as desired, then leave once I recognize the tweets from last time (or I get bored).

I'd be happy to pay $1 or $2/mo for this directly from Twitter, but until that's an option I don't feel remotely bad removing my sliver of ad revenue from their bottom line.
> Do you have any links to Korea or Japan hitting these insurmountable problems?

You remembered me talks, about how enhanced was Hong Kong, so they in 1990s built very high-speed internet for all.

But than I read wikipedia, and seen, Hong Kong have 6800 people per square kilometer (Germany 200, France 300, Ukraine 80, Russia less then 30).

Sure, if you have more than tenfold number of clients, you have much more possibilities to pay for expensive new technology.

But even for not poor western Europe, fiber technologies was too expensive for wide usage until mid 2000s.

Sure, backbones built on fiber from early 1990s, but backbones is not all internet, in reality 90% of resources spent on last mile. And as I said before, until late 2000s, only copper last mile was economically effective without Asian density. Also was possible fiber backbone, and wireless last mile, but air speed also very limited (should read expensive :) ).
Interesting but I would be much more interested in founders with outcomes.

That's a nice spot about the decreasing CC as we increase accuracy!

My hypothesis would be that some of the DK effect in the original paper may be down to an effect like this (as suggested in the original article) but that asserting it is completely incorrect because of it is premature.

It's mainly about trying to close out the possibility of class-action lawsuits. They figure individual users won't sue for small claims. One on one you can't compete with their legal departments. Some companies have actually backed off on this strategy when someone figured out how to generate massive numbers of arbitration requests.
I have multiple emails for most online accounts. None of them are generating unwanted emails. There are two accounts that I have had for a long time prior to this newer practice and these are constantly receiving unwanted spam. I was able to correlate this to a project I worked on 15 years ago when one of the other contractors on the project gave me a thumb drive to install software related to the project. It blue screened my laptop - but it was too late - my laptop was hacked. Ever since then those emails have been out in the wild. I learned my lesson about good thumb drive hygiene after that.
I hate to tell you this, but anything besides their basic plan is already in that range and includes 2 to 4 "screens" (concurrent streams), depending on the plan.

It really feels like this is already a "family plan", given the number of concurrent streams permitted. I don't think that there's much fruit to be gathered by shaking this tree.
This is pretty tinfoil hat of me. I have this theory that many companies that are “competing” with each other in an area (Cox and AT&T for me) seem to be ceding areas to each other by upgrading certain sections and not others while avoiding overlap for long periods, functionally only giving buyers one choice.

In New Orleans, Cox has offered “gigablast” (yes that’s what it’s called) Internet in some areas while AT&T offers fiber. Now they often don’t overlap, which isn’t wild given they are incrementally upgrading a large area section by section, so I can easily see wanting to be first to an area your competitor isn’t offering a comparable product. But here’s the rub: Cox also offers 5mb down/600kb up in some areas of downtown New Orleans. That is unusable Internet. No one would get anything but AT&T, who hasn’t laid fiber in that area yet, but gives you 25+.

That’s not competition, that’s the appearance of it.
What's supposed to happen is that profitable companies start paying dividends to their shareholders. If you're getting dividends, then you don't mind if the value of your shares is staying flat or even dropping a little. The original purpose of owning shares in a company wasn't only that the value of the shares themselves would increase, but that they'd pay dividends so shareholders can make a profit over the life of a company.

As far as I know, Netflix shares, much like shares in many other tech companies, do not pay any dividend. Perhaps it's time they begin.
These suggestions are pretty weak. Mostly boil down to making better stuff for cheaper. Which is obvious and something everyone is trying.

IMHO, Netflix is the classic .com company where they think they can do everything better than the incumbents. That's true when there is a paradigm technology shift (internet ordering and then streaming). But it's almost never true when you're talking about core competencies.
Is it in production? Or just a demo?
For a similar use case, I’ve been considering a combination of s3 exports of db views (mapping private schema to public) + lakeformation governed tables (which allow table, row, and cell level security via iam) + redshift or athena for querying + sts/cognito for authorization to give logged in users a temporary access key id and secret access key. Admittedly an AWS heavy setup, but in my use case that’s an advantage :)
> it's going to be used as a speculation vehicle rather than money.

I see this claim time and time again, but it's hardly convincing. Deflationary assets don't exist in a vacuum, they compete with inflationary assets that create value over time (such as stocks), and it's not a binary decision as to which one is going to be the best investment/use of your money. Additionally, the value of pretty much anything (whether deflationary or inflationary) is hardly a factor of their availability in the future but rather their actual or perceived utility at a precise moment in time.
Even more impressive is Intel's decision to outsource their own processors to TSMC.
nothing precludes Netflix from having great content, their quantity over quality model is annoying. The "stars" or "match" of recommended content has no basing on the enjoyment by other users as it is purely algorithmic while having the visual component of looking like reviews. They try to induce fear-of-missing-out with their trending list, which I also don't trust due to the likelihood of it not involving any humans at all like their other feature. People catch on and walk away.
As the article mentions, the browser requests an image and to respond with anything different would take as many bytes if not more.

> it is easy to see how a family of frogs is slowly boiled back into having an expensive "entertainment package" as if it were the old cable days again,

It is not easy to see for me. If you want access to all the content all at once, then pay up.

If you want access to specific content at the specific time you want, then pay then, watch, and cancel the subscription if there was one.

This latter option was not available before, and it is now. I am loving the new system which cuts out the middleman (cable/satellite tv) that was able to jerk around both me and the content seller.

The next problem needing to be solved is reducing copyright length to 10 years or so. That is what will make the price of content go down by increasing the number of content sellers.
In 10 years only happened once, by CBS after they bought Last.FM
