This is a bunch of stories of people acting individually, this isn't political power. My argument isn't that there aren't people in this world trying to establish their validity in our society, and that those people aren't upsetting other people, just that those people aren't exercising broad systemic political power.

Is your argument that people should just accept their lot in life and not challenge the status quo? Or more that they should do it in a way that doesn't upset anyone.

I see that you have some concerns here, I don't see why your response is to try and ostracize or ban this thing you don't understand.

A lot of parents don't want unapproved media to reach their kids. If something like this passes, it's going to be at least because of parental support.
It’s not a quick take, it’s just modern infantilization of children to the point that many people in their 20s have difficulty with basics.

Everyone starts as a beginner and age doesn’t change that, except maybe by making things harder as you get older.

Do you object to the pacing or the starting age or are you imagining that the people teaching this were reckless?
There is a standard that all the normal desktop userspace apps are already using, it's v4l2 and in particular a single /dev/video# device use case with all the highlevel controls exposed on this device directly.

For likes of Librem and Pinephone, the highlevel controls either don't exist on HW level, or they exist there, but are not exposed on the video device itself, but on various v4l2 subdevices that form the video pipeline.

One way to support all the already existing apps would be to implement what they already expect. (see above) That is, to be able to control the video device by usual means they already posess. Instead of extending all the apps to use libcamera, and leaving the rest behind, we could simply proxy the video controls from ioctls where all apps expect them to be to some userspace daemon, that would then configure the complex HW specific media pipeline behind the scenes (basically all the media system subdevices for sensors, sensor interfaces, ISP, etc.).

In other words to implement what's implemented by some USB microcontroller in UVC webcams in some userspace daemon, but keep the existing userspace interface expectations for simple camera usage.

This is kinda orthogonal to the libcamera effort, I guess. Just wanted to say that there already is a standard. :)

Really? The default was yellow because that's what Franklin Loufrani used back in the 1970s in France, and he's (probably) the one responsible for the smiley becoming a global icon.

Never underestimate the important of good leadership. A leader can recognize these things and a lot more. It seems like companies don't hire experienced project managers/managers anymore but try to get programmers to wear those hats because they think programmers won't respect someone who isn't a programmer even if they are tech savvy. I can't say I blame them as marketing and BAs seem to end up in the manager role and that's often much worse. There used to be a middle ground in the days before agile. Now it's like it doesn't matter because fail first and fast is the M.O. and "don't worry, we'll fix it in a future sprint after enough people complain."
Access Migration to Power Apps and Dataverse Is Released to General Availability
Same here, I used to care, but since Google has never seriously pushed for updates (Treble doesn't require OEMs to actually care to update), gave up on keeping Java support up to date, I lost interest.

As long as Chrome and the NDK stay around, I am good and don't care anymore whatever version I can only use 5 years from now with already deprecated APIs.

Flutter 3 comes with an upgrade to Dart 2.17 [1], which has quite a few improvements as well... including state on enums.

While that's great, I was hoping it would be like in Rust, where each enum variant can declare its own state components, but unfortunately it seems to be more like Java: same state for all variants.

Well, at least there's quite a few other small but useful improvements... and they showed how they really listen to the community by implementing the new syntax for passing on constructor parameters to a super-class... and by improving the docs of the 200 most popular packages with lots of examples, as requested by the people.

I like how they're listening to the community as well to implement meta-programming (like macros) [2] to solve the main pain point, currently, in Dart, which is how verbose it is to generate code for things like serialization and data types.

Once they get that, Dart will be a really good language to work on (it's already quite ok IMO, despite most people, usually those who don't actually use it much, hating on it).

this is the most insane recurring argument and I'll never understand it. sure that's how The Simpsons works, but that's not how LEGO works, so that argument gets canceled out. then you look at the yellow smiley face iconography that I'm sure has cultural roots somewhere but was universally used to specifically express universality—back when WAL*MART used it as their logo, were they specifically trying to market to white people, at the exclusion of all others??

then you take the history of emoji into account and you see that that doesn't really work as an explanation at all. it's like you (and everyone else who makes this inane argument) are trying to make something that's not white-people-centric, white-people-centric, just so you can complain about it being white-people-centric.
you can’t live on 50k per year in the bay area or LA unless you have roommates and eat at work both of which are not sustainable. any decent apartment is going to be already 4k per month and you can easily spend another few K on food and other stuff, not even overdoing anything, so close to 10k per month is more realistic.

As a massage therapist who was a programmer, built my own house, and am currently a whitewater kayaker, I use my hands a lot. At times I have noticed precursors of carpal tunnel syndrome, and have learned a few things. The tension usually begins further up the arm, most likely the front of the shoulder, as we usually hold our shoulders in place to act as a base for the actions of the hands. So start by loosening the shoulders (I like massage, of course), and then check out other muscles in the arm like triceps and forearm flexors. In your case, the squash is probably tightening up your forearms way too much. The main thing to remember is that the circulation and nerve signals to your hand have to get through a lot of tight passageways in your arm, not just the carpal tunnel. So work on keeping all the pathways open before you decide that the carpal tunnel needs to be modified, because western medicine will certainly take you up on that, whether it solves the root cause or not.

Best Effort Writes[1] are an opportunity here. Non-transactional, write to the local replica (ensure foreign keys, constrains, valid data, etc...) and then try to write to the main write-enabled DB. Caching should work without changes since the local replica is updated. This could be cheaper (send binary diffs) and more resilient to brief network issues.

The key is to let the user decide what really needs ACID and what doesn't. If someone wants to make the next Facebook or Reddit they'll need huge write throughput and if some votes or updates are lost, that may be a good trade-off.

It's not orthogonal. In fact, it's a very good observation, and even libcamera itself recognizes it by providing v4l2 emulation.

It could be a viable way to get the basic use case of video streaming where special controls are not needed. It's worth considering, although then it makes sense to leverage work already in libcamera to implement the extra layer.

> Why do tech workers feel underpaid?

I'll throw in a different angle. If I'm truly happy at a job, pay isn't a big concern as long as I can pay the bills. The more miserable the job becomes, the more the money becomes the only way to tolerate it so it better keep getting higher.

Pay in software roles might be at an all-time high today, but respect and independence is at an all-time low.

In the 90s I had a private office with a door and a window. Today we're packed like sardines into an open office (although thanks to the pandemic this part improved).

In the 90s I worked on deep hardcode tech, today nearly every company just wants to glue libraries to frameworks and connect AWS bits together. Work is no longer intellectually satisfying.

In the 90s tech companies produced tech, that was the product, so it was exciting and hip. Today so-called "tech companies" produce advertising, shopping, social spyware, movies. It's not tech anymore. Boring.

In the 90s, senior engineers drove engineering decisions. Today we have non-technical product managers forcing their way into technical decisions.

In the 90s we were trusted to get things done and allowed the time to get deep in the zone. Today it's forced daily status reports, "agile".

In the 90s we could plan ahead and go deep, research and build well-architected solutions. Today the task better take no more than 1-2 days so the story gets closed, "agile".

I could go on and on but will stop. If software engineering today had the working conditions and respect it had in the 90s, I'd happily do it for 25% of my current salary and be so happy.

> "eat less meat" isn't entertained as a serious option

It's simply baffling that this always gets brought up without stating the obvious fact that many people love to eat meat, and have no obligation to put up with the boring diet these policies would impose on them.

And I think this is yet another reason that the naive libertarian attitude of "I just wanna grill" (which I am also guilty of subscribing to until a few years ago) is a recipe for disaster. If we don't actively stand against these policies, soon the only thing you can grill would be veggies.

Some think this is unlikely to happen. But the paper straws debacle tells us that a vocal minority can impose these things on others. And remember that Japan was vegetarian for centuries before the Great Emperor Meiji liberated them from the ideology [1].

The education system can't fix stupid. Such a person has gone down a rabbit-hole of paranoia that they'll never climb up from. And you couldn't prevent them from jumping into it in the first place. They clearly embraced it wholeheartedly and enthusiastically.

Fixing that is going to go way beyond education. It has to come from a place where half the comments on this HN article aren't "This proves that Fauci was lying to us all along". We have a deep-seated hatred of each other that has become self-sustaining: even without prodding from ideologues people will just invent it for each other.

Given the reality of remote work, one might hope the allure of immigrating to the US for the jobs might diminish. Sure, you probably won't make half a million working remotely as a software engineer, but you probably don't need that in most of the world anyway.

Also pilot here (C172 G1000): I personally find landing a plane IRL easier than in MSFS. Much easier when I am able to feel resistance on the yoke, feel shifts in wind and gravity etc. All the MSFS controls are so extremely touchy. Though I agree you need 6-10 hours to get decent at landings :)
These cameras are already exposed via v4l2 they are just exposed by many v4l2 subdevices (for a separate parts of the HW camera and image processing pipeline) and not just as a single video device having all the necessary highlevel controls.

So the interface is the same, it's just split over many device and platform specific subdevices, which normal apps can't really be expected to understand.
This is a good technical summary of the impact but I think misses the somewhat emotive history here.

Not everybody is cut out for every job. I was once essentially fired from a job as a checkout clerk at a small business because I was so atrociously slow at counting my register's money at night. Everybody had to sit around after closing, waiting for 30min, while I counted and re-counted my bank. This made me pretty unpopular. If you hate your job, for whatever reason, then find a new way to earn a living. Look for something you're good at: broadly, holistically, in general. This person sounds like a good programmer, sure. But they don't sound suited to the culture at Google, or as a participant in contentious new specifications. That's okay, not every job is for every person. There's lots of things to do.

That's very different. The source code for the userspace portions of the MESA drivers for AMD/Intel are released under a permissive licenses, so OpenBSD (and other BSDs) have been able to modify them to compile under their OS (and get those changes committed to the original tree). With NVIDIA, the userspace portions don't use MESA, so would need some form of translation layer to work on an OS other than Linux.

But, said translation layer would have limited scope; so is a lot more feasible than maintaining a general purpose translation layer indefinitely.
Nevermind. I should have read what was said.

I'm confused, while Apple has silly naming conventions for their operating system, the Macbook line doesn't have that at all. It's just the Macbook (and the Macbook Pro and the Macbook Air), Apple doesn't even give them different names or years.

Am I missing something that isn't incredibly straightforward about the Macbook naming?
