Please stop it. The pasture land out in the country isn't suffering from a housing shortage. The mega cities simply need more high density housing as always.
I love my Jelly 2. The only thing that it skimped on was the camera. The primary camera is worse than my Moto G5 was. It's adequate for my primary usage of "taking pictures of things I need to remember (serial numbers, receipts &c)" but nearly useless as a general purpose photography tool.
I wonder what the deal with those metallic/mirror looking F22s was.
What is twitter? 1) Major-, mini-, and micro-celebrities making declarations in a quotable form, and 2) their fans and anti-fans either trying to figure out a witty way to compliment them, ridicule them, or become them by adding to or topping their declarations.

How to do twitter well? Specialize in a subject or two. Join defacto voting rings through popular hashtags within your subject's community and subtle hot-keyword-of-the-day stuffing. Steal jokes from nobodies. Reply to every tweet from a popular account. Bait popular accounts into fights.
I get the same statement from preachers and highly devout individuals. So... I'm not sure how to respond?

There is also the fact that this is a forum for discussing/debating ideas. Not just to affirm them with agreement, but to strengthen them through criticism.
I wish I had this at my previous job. Our k8s roles were basically everything or unusable. Managing anything fine grained was such a pain that it wasn't worth it.

Just went through the quickstart and that's some top-notch developer experience, great job.
How Much Random World History Knowledge Do You Have?
The process you link doesn't seem to be related to an rPi, rather, trying to get Kodi to play HBO. Am I misunderstanding something? Would this process be any easier on a Rock64?
Why FreeDOS vs nothing or why FreeDOS vs Linux?
The former, because some OEMs have agreements with Microsoft that prohibit shipping systems without an OS. They found the loophole that they could ship a free OS as a placeholder.
Why not Linux? I guess it was easier at the time and they then just kept shipping what was already working. It was never intended to keep the original OS anyway (and in particular, Linux users tend to be opinionated and install their favorite distro anyway).
The first few sections of this post nearly lost me, waffling on about NoSQL vs whatever.

Eventually we get to the meat:

> For example, the JSON value

{"s":"foo","a":[1,"bar"]}

> would traditionally be called “schema-less” and in fact is said have the vague type “object” in the world of JavaScript or “dict” in the world of Python. However, the super-structured interpretation of this value’s type is instead:

> type record with field s of type string and field a of type array of type union of types integer and string

> We call the former style of typing a “shallow” type system and the latter style of typing a “deep” type system. The hierarchy of a shallow-typed value must be traversed to determine its structure whereas the structure of a deeply-typed value is determined directly from its type.

This is a bit confusing, since JSON data commonly has an implicit schema, or "deep type system" as this post calls it, and if you consume data in any statically-typed language you will materialise the implicit "deep" types in your host language.

So it seems that ZSON is sort of like a TypeScript-ified version of JSON, where the implicit types are made explicit.

It seems the point is not to have an external schema that documents must comply to, so I guess at the end of the day has similar aim to other "self-describing" message formats like https://amzn.github.io/ion-docs/ ? i.e. each message has its own schema

So the interesting part is perhaps the new data tools to work with large collections of self-describing messages?
Will blockchains fix these problems and mitigate the worst facets of human nature? Maybe,...

Not sure how that will work when they power the coin of the realm for malware, human exploitation, etc.
+1 on everything that the article says.

As a very long term Linux and macOS laptop user, I now prefer running everything in the cloud: Google Colab for deep learning, several VPSs that I turn on when needed that are configured for specific cases (Common Lisp with Open BLAS, etc for ML, special Clojure setups for interacting with hybrid Python apps, etc.)

After using a Chromebook to web browsing for many years, I bought a Lenovo Duet Chromebook last year that makes a good tablet and also with the provided keyboard and pencil, I find it useable with the built-in Linux containers support.

I am looking for a more expensive but similar Chromebook that can drive a large external USB-C monitor, then I feel like archiving all my old hardware and just making my life simpler.
Yup, getting it off the ground was the hard part!

My experience was exactly the same as what you've had with your professional account. LinkedIn just made more sense for professional stuff, so I stayed there.

In my case having a separate Twitter account for hobbies didn't make too much sense either since I didn't really have any, haha.

It wasn't until I figured out how to combine my personal and professional stuff that I really "got it". And even then, it's still quite a bit of work if you want to stay visible.
Buybacks should be banned.

It's bad for society to have companies spend money on their own shares, and dividends have the appealing property that they allow a holder to both continue to hold, and bank some gains for further investments.
Some of it is also just the difficulty of differentiating between an intentionally sneaky bit of whatever-ism and an accident. A finance institution using a star of david is borderline enough that any savvy marketing person wouldn't have let that go out. The use of "gas" on top of it is just silly.

There's certainly some amount of what you're pointing out, but given how much of modern politics and communication is done in dog whistles, with people making this level of borderline content and then going "how dare you think I'm intending anything by this accident" when they make an "accident" weekly, it's becoming more important to at least be suspicious of "innocent mistakes" by people who should know better.

A company with this much money and international reach is crazy to do a major branding move and then be shocked that people misinterpret it. It's unfortunate that people assume the worst, but at this point, personally and in business PR, you have to understand that people will assume the worst, so to release something like these anyways is either an intentional choice or negligence.
A lot of people are proposing simple reasons why this could be the case. They did so last year when the study that inspired this got published.

Maybe this needs to be updated from physicists:

Sure, that'd be cool too. Basically just make the incentive not about using the backing to gain money.
This comment and the replies to it make me think there is a lot of undiagnosed depression. I would feel happy for the good fortune of my friends and family and mute the politics off my timeline. If my friends or family did something that I wanted for myself, I would feel inspiration, not envy.
If you were completely uncreative or speaking in bad faith, you may come to the conclusion that your "obvious" answer of such a false dichotomy.
It so often comes to some sloppiness on the driver side. I can't help myself but think of "cha bu duo". In my experience Chinese companies (i.e. where most other SBC SoCs are designed) are notorious for having all the ingredients, yet making silly decisions that aren't really even for cost-cutting.

not the bom, it's the screen thickness.

Most laptops screens are much thinner than a smartphone.

That said, i'd gladly have a little camera bump.
Absolutely. I also don't believe that they "only" go 5x the speed of sound. That's most likely just the speed they're willing to disclose, and the actual speed is classified.
How much of this is hype and boasting about military advances. According to this article hypersonic missiles are far from practical https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-physics-and-h...
I think there might be a grammar problem in your statement. What did you mean?
There was a discussion here a few years back about this interview/documentary with the creator of the original KidPix: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25108875
How does one thing fix the other? Post below pretty much explains how irrelevant this comparison is. Pre-state borders?
My understanding is that Russia and China are building hypersonic glide missile so they can penetrate any US missile defense system, which the US doesn't really even have. And neither does Russia or China have an effective missile defense system that the US needs the capability to defeat.

So it seems like an arms race without either side really having advanced to the point of necessitating a further step. Then again, I suppose it makes sense to be one step ahead of where the game is going.

Or is there something more to this?
Buildable – An instant back end for the modern developer
> Devices have audio controls, no need to repeat them in a video player

You assume that the web page is the only source of audio happening on a device. If someone is listening to something on their machine while browsing articles and then needs to stop whatever is playing because the website is taking over the audio, that's very poor UX and is indeed insensitive to the user.

Suppose you have a screen reader and now you cannot hear it because a video is unnecessarily blaring music that you can't hide. 99.99% of all websites offer the user individual audio control over playing content -- for a reason.
this is called a periodic auction and has been common on European exchanges for nearly a decade

(though the matching algorithm varies)
The amplifier used for headphones is very different than what is used to drive a speaker. It's a totally different component. Also, remember, it's doing much more than just pumping audio out. Modern 3.5mm jacks on phones are 4 pin, generally, and you have to do the following (or, at least most of it):

* Detect if something is plugged in

* Detect if the thing plugged in is a 3 pin (stereo speakers), or 4 pin (stereo speakers, plus microphone)

* Detect what type of 4 pin configuration is connected (there are 2 standards, CTIA and OMTP)

* Detect button presses from attached headphones (volume up/down, pause/play)

* Detect the type of headphones connected (do I want to use the high impedance driver, or the low impedance driver)

And obviously: play stereo audio and record mono audio.

There's also some lesser used features that are sometimes supported over 3.5mm:

* Video output (!!)

* Antenna input, for use for FM radio

* Stereo audio input

* Optical out (not through 3.5mm TRRS, but it is at the end of the 3.5mm jack... Apple used to use these in their macbook pros)
+1 for the jelly 2. It works perfectly for everything I "need" a smart phone for.

Just be aware the the Wifi often drops and battery life is 1.5 days at best. But again, makes it really easy to not do anything distracting on it lol
Does that oil-burning heater need oxygen? If it does then it needs ventilation, air movement in/out of the house, pushing that 90% efficiency number way down.
It's this or a Youtube clip that's maybe monetized by Disney at best... https://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/The_Homer

The Homer was a car that Home Simpson built to exactly what they wanted without any tradeoffs for off the shelf components, trends, or sensibility of what currently was common.

It's also somewhat design by committee, with features like a more luxurious bubble for the adults, and a micro-bubble for the kids; presumably so you can ignore anything but the screams or silence.

I also suspect this fictional car might have been an ingredient in the market shifting from minivans to SUVs. Those don't have such great audio isolation but were even taller than the minivans (which were taller than station wagons). Or it could be the 'backup camera' finally reaching a tolerable price level.
I've been using the free version for years. Never needed any of the premium features to create a useful mindmap.
Front cameras are also useful for other stuff e.g. taking angled pictures with little visibility is much easier with the front facing camera because you can see what you're aiming at.

It can even take pictures in the dark because the display will be used as a floodlight, though in that case aiming doesn't really work unless the software brightening is sufficient to at least gain an idea.

Front camera also works as a mirror in a pinch, much easier than trying to aim the back camera then flipping the phone around and finding out how off you were.

Do people taking selfies even use the front camera? I feel like image quality is really rather poor for that use case but it's not my jam.
Well, getting third party support for a new console might be pretty difficult for one thing. Yes, it might use the same processor as an existing machine, but the games would still have to be ported over, and you'd also probably need a decent number of unique games for the platform too. As a result, you've either got to convince third parties to invest in making games specifically for an untested system on the assumption it'll catch on later, or go the Nintendo/Microsoft/Sony/Valve in house route and make the games yourself, which is a whole 'nother kettle of fish. So getting the necessary games/support is a challenge in of itself, even if your hardware is on par with existing console manufacturers.

Then there's the whole challenge involved in actually marketing the thing. Why would customers buy this? How much would it cost to advertise a brand new system in an era where the major console manufacturers are spelling millions (probably billions) on advertising and have about a hundred times more name recognition than you probably will?

As for cloud gaming... that's proven to be quite the technical challenge in of itself, and even companies on the level of Microsoft and Google are struggling to get it to work flawlessly right now (or to sell the public on the idea in general).
Honestly the video adds pretty much nothing to a Zoom meeting. You're better off without it. Maybe it's different for managers/executives but for engineers it's more of a distraction.

People built Linux over email. Having audio meetings is more than enough.
The gaming laptops (Lenovo Legion) at least have this. The outputs are wired to the discrete card and I think they support 8k60 and 4k120.
Interesting, can you give an example of such apps "not really working" on iP Mini? I'm asking because my wife uses 12 Mini and she never told a word about it. I'm also using it from time to time in few apps and everything looks ok.
It affects you a lot less once you realize that nothing of that pictures a real, complete story of those peoples' lives, but just a cherry picked show-off moments and emotional venting...
It's really just the iPhone 3GS.
Fabing for others has been visible for decades. Apple tried to get Intel to fab its ARM processors in 2007. But Intel thought that the margins were too small.
Just as it did with Alpha's.

Just as it did with Itanium.

Just as it did with PowerPC.

Just as it did with MIPS.

Just as it did with Transmeta.

Just as it did with ARM last time
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acorn_Archimedes )

The year of replacing the x86 architecture never arrives ...

Frankly, I would probably give Itanium the best odds (Intel + Microsoft behind it), then Alpha (Microsoft behind it).
Funnily, cars suffer from this same exact issue, but worse! Just like expanding phone screen size leads to suboptimal software on small screen sizes that devs don't target any more... expanding car size leads to safety compromises for sedans. If my 2000s Civic gets T-boned by a 2022 F150, I'll probably die, simply because the 2022 F150 will crush my car like a tank rolling over a tin can. When I try to drive around in my sedan at night, I'm constantly blinded because truck manufacturers don't account for low seat heights any more with beam cutoffs.

Who would buy a sedan any more when you're screwed over this way? With phones and vehicles, we're stuck in this prisoner's dilemma situation where larger sizes lead to less desirability of small sizes, and the cycle repeats over and over again.

Same thing happens with public transit/car usage -- as more people use cars, public transit thins out, deals with more traffic on the roads, and becomes scarier because there are fewer "normal" people on public transit to make you feel safe from crime.

Curious if there's an research on how to escape from this kind of death spiral -- my suspicion is that the only real way out is regulation, because otherwise there's no way to overcome the self-reinforcing impact of these decisions.
Wow, I did not know this is possible with a Mac now. I think Thinkpads supported this but not the Mac. Great find!
I don't think it's about running faster, clearly OP wants to use Linux over MacOS, same for me. For dev work Linux is still king, and I happen to also personally prefer the KDE UX over MacOS.

So while Mac laptops are great hardware wise, it doesn't run the software I want, so that's why I'm still buying laptops made for Windows.
This is the gap I hit, after trying to set up an old Canon G11 (released 2009) as an alternative to a webcam for my partner's Twitch streaming. It has a micro-HDMI port on the side of it, but only for reviewing photos— it doesn't pass through the live viewfinder image, and it appears there may be hardware limitations which prevent that from ever being possible, even with the various hacked up firmware options like CHDK/Magic Lantern [1].

I have one too, and I was suprised by how "not bad" it is for this. I can reach each key with my thumb, so I get muscle memory for each letter. The only issue I have is hitting W instead of E, as E is super common and it's far from the lower right corner.

I also use bitwarden for passwords, so the main thing I type without swype is the passphrase for bitwarden, and proper names that autocorrect will then proceed to change to the wrong thing afterwards anyways (just like a big android phone).
I've got a very nice mirrorless camera and glass and eventually came to the same conclusion: It's just not worth the hassle even for the improvement in image quality.

However, I have found that it's absolutely worth it to upgrade to a better microphone. Just about anything is better than the mic built into most computers and better voice quality will give you more presence and make it significantly more enjoyable for others to listen to you. Wearing headphones also helps so that the computer isn't forced to do echo cancelation on the signal.

Make friends with some Americans online, like in an online game or roleplaying forum or whatever. Visit the USA on a vacation and have them introduce you to their sisters/friends/whoever

It's really hard to get that marriage green card though, you're looking at many months of paperwork on top of building a successful relationship and committing your life to someone. I think it'd be a lot easier to get a job at a big company in the US and come over on an H1B, or build a SaaS business wherever you live now
The raised US lending interest rates are only partially caused by the crazy guy in Russia. And would probably happen anyway without his help.
I think its nice, I find a big mic on the desk gets in the way
the problem is that the video does not prove the claims it makes to begin with..

it is just a bunch of random phrases out of context put in a way to convey the desired message from a source that lack any credibility..

so the video has no validity to begin with for us to disprove..

unless you have access to the source material and can give context to the stuff that was being discussed in those multiple conversations i see no reason we should trust or care about this video..

This article is from May 3, I recall seeing it posted on HN before. Before anyone starts ringing the censorship alarm bells, from what I recall, this order is fundamentally unenforceable. ISPs likely have no obligation to block the pirate sites in question, and likely nothing will come of it.
It is amazing how much incorrect analysis this global chip shortage has brought about. The situation with intel is complex but I will bring out the simplest error in this analysis.

Chips are not like oil, or steel or wheat. A chip shortage is a very different beast than an oil or wheat or iron ore or copper shortage.

Lets say that there are 500 different chips in a device. This is not an exaggeration. If you are short of chip #203 you cannot throw an extra couple of pieces of chip #205 instead. These chips are different and the exact ones are needed. Furthermore, many of these chips are made using different processes in different fabs, so you cannot slow down manufacture of chip #205 to make some extra ones of chip #203.

So that is the first thing to keep in mind in terms of the chip shortage. Currently the chips that are in shortage are mostly things intel does not make. To the best of my knowledge chips in shortage are power electronics, power discrete, power management ics, networking ics and industrial/auto/medical grade microcontrollers. If someone had updates to this list, please comment below.

The thing about the chip shortage is, that if there is a shortage in something you do not make, it is not necessarily a good thing. That may mean that your client will make fewer devices because they do not have that chip #203, and you will be able to sell them fewer of your chip #205.

Of course intel has some very serious issues but this chip shortage argument is just wrong.

He means how fast does a missile need to go so that the kinetic energy is greater than the chemical/explosive energy.
I don’t get this. x86 CPU sales isn’t niche. Last I checked, the thousands of PCs at my university alone were all x86.

Demand exists, supply does not. Why? Idk. Maybe it’s a consequence of bad business decisions at ARM.

Apple has recently shown that ARM chips can be competitive with x86. However, I don’t see why we couldn’t have had that a decade ago. Why did we have to wait for a licensee to take this matter into their own hands? It’s like the business execs at ARM are asleep at the wheel. If I were a shareholder, I’d be wanting some different leadership.
Well forecasting is a small part of macroeconomics. For lots of traders and firms it also doesn't really matter and if it does, it would be only one small team of many.

Most of the stuff I learned that I've used in my career is related to things like consumer choice, price bundling and profit optimization, game theory, stats and econometrics.
85 days. I can't tell if you didn't remember or you are saying it felt like longer because so much has happened. The IPO window has been closed for more than 85 days for sure.
I have one too. The main issue I have is some dialogs will need scrolling to see all options (FairEmail is the worst offender of the apps I use).
That sounds unfortunate. After a few kinks at the beginning, I've moved to using my nikon z6 as webcam. The first kink was power delivery, I found a plug that goes into the battery slot.

After that everything works flawlessly.
