I love Dhall and have used it in production, but I will say that the documentation, especially for things like dhall-kubernetes, often leaves much to be desired. You may need to spend a bit of time reading the source code.
They are the spenders and lifts up local economy. As long as immigrant population has more than above average income than local population, it's good for economy. Downside is ofcourse that real estate will go up but upside is that average income local population also goes up because there are more people buying goods and services.
I wouldn't say it's "poor practice" to serve legacy formats. If you're using a setup to allow for fallbacks, that's the best practice. There are more device types some developers need to consider than the latest version of Chrome.
Drops in containerized freight, and the following drops in China-US freight prices, will start putting pressure on a lot of manufacturing onshoring initiatives started during the pandemic.

For many classes of bulk goods, freight was becoming 50-100% or more of total landed cost for goods imported from China, which overwhelmed labor cost differentials. In addition, Chinese production problems provided more reasons to move production closer to demand.

But US labor costs increased substantially during the labor crunch of 2021. Prevailing wages that were around $15 ramped to $18-22 as companies worked to compete against the likes of Amazon hiring hundreds of thousands of warehouse workers. Entry level Chinese wages have not increased nearly as much.

So if freight costs collapse such that the landed cost only has 25% of landed cost as freight, and US manufacturers have experienced an increase in labor costs relative to Chinese production, this could spell some very challenging times over the next 1-2 years as a recession applies cost management discipline on the supply chain and US manufacturers find themselves in potentially an even worse comparative cost position than pre-pandemic, vis-a-vis offshore production.

This is also why many US manufacturers were wary about adding capacity: they know about the bullwhip effect, and they also knew that it would affect not only consumer demand but also their supply chain advantage versus offshore production, and so any capital intensive capacity added to meet short-term demand may go idle 1-2 years afterward. And most manufacturing capacity doesn't pencil out if you only get a couple years of good utilization out of it.
They did, but Microsoft said no.

AVIF will be a good choice in time, but right now it takes a lot of horsepower (read: battery juice) for some devices to use it. Not sure how/when that'll get resolved. From “The ROI of Adopting AVIF for Websites” on the Cloudinary Blog, 2021-11-29[0]:

I wonder how fpng[1] would compare- a lossless speed optimized png compressor. Oh! The author Rich screenshoted[2] a really nice deck[3] that also boasts fpnge[4] and fjxl[5], both of which are even faster, both use AVX2 (or neon for FJXL).

Notably fjxl is in the reference libjxl tree. I'm not sure what if any constraints fast mode has, what it takes to use. The article uses cjxl, which does not run the fjxl fast mode, and further, fast mode was added after this article was written[6].

Other notes on jpeg-xl: it has progressive rendering. It has hdr!

The deck on FJXL & FPNGE is epic. Thanks Quote Ok Image (QOI) format for setting the fire on this all!!

Are you trying to say if Amazon works less hours delivering packages , less packages will be delivered because they are already pushing every productivity edge possible?

That is shocking to me. It feels like I just push these buttons and the package shows up to my door like magic. I assumed everyone has a job pushing buttons so why would we waste time pushing buttons for more than 4 days a week.
Fair. But when I click the docs link on the page I get 89 lines...
Can you dual boot any other OS on ARM Macs yet? Seems like this project might have missed a few steps along the way.

This really should be a Microsoft effort. They just announced that they have Visual Studio compiling in ARM64 finally, so it's only a matter of time before the only thing standing in the way is backroom deals that we don't know about. Qualcomm?

I mean, I do want to see Qualcomm ship their M1 competitor, but given the state of the economy and world recession we're about to enter, I am skeptical it would survive fat trimming cuts that are about to sweep the industry. The money for them is in mobile and automotive projects.
Thats more than fair enough.
The EU threatening manufacturers with regulation unless they settled on a format led to the end of different chargers for every phone model. It definitely had a direct impact on my life. Getting rid of different cables as well will make me very happy.

"The EU" is not a singular entity. The tiny little parts of the EU doing most of the work on this combined with the tiny amount of time spent by larger parts of the EU seems well worth it to me.
I think we're already "procreating to a reasonable extent," where "reasonable" is defined in a context where many of us aren't in a stable enough financial situation to responsibly have kids. An alternative phrasing would be "might be able to buy houses and start families."
Specs might be better, but in real-world performance Apple provides the smoother experience. Not to mention that software support is sparse and short-lived for Android phones in that budget range. Sadly...
> You are essentially pre-selecting for people that share your cultural background.

I don't think that creating a decent (not perfect!) document means that they match my cultural background and I honestly don't consider it racist, in any way.

I don't see any reason on why literally the only document that has a stake in saying whether you continue with some interviews or not should look bad or contain obvious mistakes. It's like if you were giving away business cards with your name spelled wrong, with a wrong phone number or with a yellow text on a red / orange background.

I've seen some CVs with rather obvious mistakes (e.g: mispelled technology names, Comic Sans MS, 180deg rotated profile picture, spelling mistakes in their native language, issues with dates and so on...).

I really think that if you care about applying for a job, the bare minimum you should do is to spend some time to re-read your CV (at least once) or ask your friends for suggestions.

The couple in the article bought a home for €500,000 cash (no mortgage) and are making $130,000 a year just on dividends. You're probably right, but so is the parent. They're wealthy millionaires.

According to this video[1], $1.9 million yielding 5.2% will give you $100k per year in dividend income, so they have to have even more than that invested.

Let me project my own reasoning onto the author, but I have a habit of not using absolute language, and words like "nearly" are good for hedging against being wrong. I think probably (wink) this habit intrudes into statements were absolute would be correct.
You cannot calculate Kolmogorov complexity in all cases because that would involve solving the halting problem.

It is worth pointing out that certain formats like AVIF do sort of do this: they use a few different algorithms, see which combination of algo/block split removes the most entropy, and then compress _that_. In practice, this is pretty good for most non-noisy images.
Unfortunately, it seems that despite being inferior to JPEG XL, AVIF will become the next main image format.

JXL still has zero browser support (out of the box; Firefox and Chromium have it hidden behind a feature flag) and it doesn't seem that the browser developers are interested in changing that.

I agree, I think entirely synthetic voices will be the way a lot of services like this can operate in the future. Unfortunately I haven't seen much research in this area. Guess it's outside the typical "take a dataset and optimize the hell out of it" realm of a lot of ML research since the synthetic voice will not exist in any dataset ahead of time.

Been thinking a lot about how to accomplish this myself for a similar product I'm building, glad to hear someone else is thinking about it too!
good luck to Russia to make its own chip fab now that no one will buy its gas
>> $5.5 billion to teach your populace how to make chips? Worth it.

Germany already has advance chip fabrication - see Global Foundries (formerly AMD fab). It's not EUV, but even Intel still needs to figure out how to make those chips.
Eh, not really. I mean, yes, but no. Based on terminology, I'm going to stick with the US demographic. In that setting, the peak 5 year bracket of millennials is currently 7.2% of US population and 23.8M people against a world background of 7.8B people. The boomer peak at the same age was was 8.4% and 22.7M people against a global population of 5.9B. So, yes, there are quantitatively more millennials now, and the number of millennials is larger at the same cohort timepoint, but as a fraction of population, they're smaller and will have a smaller effect on global affairs.

Globally, it's a bit different, the bulge of millennials is in fact larger by all measures, but that bulge isn't really driven by the US or Europe, it's the Middle East, and to a lesser extent, East Asia.

From time to time Intel's marketing tries to sell the idea that USB was invented by this one Intel engineer. Somewhat obviously that is not true.

On the other hand if you compare USB 1.0 to 1.1 it is quite obvious that real implementation experience and throwing out artifacts of the design by committee was quite important for the success.

A lot of companies do, by simply never contacting them for pricing.
Last I checked, image resizing was anything but trivial. I get your point, but if you were optimizing for low energy consumption, you’d want to skip that downscaling because dropping every nth pixel actually removes data; meanwhile convolution operations are slow and cannot be done in-place i.e. without making it obvious what is happening.
Sure, there have probably been thousands of such societies throughout history. Bartering was common for many hunter gatherer communities. Having a standard currency isn't very practical if you have many groups across a large geographical area that meet sporadically. Directly trading goods would work just fine in those cases.

Things have changed in the past decade for engineers. In the 00s, I felt expendable at every job, even at places that suffered after an exodus engineers. In the 10s, I felt necessary, but fungible. And in the 20s, I feel important and that my skills are distinct.

I'm sure this varies a lot for people working in different sectors, but I think every sector has seen the perceived importance of technology engineering increase over time.
It sounds to me like you believe in conspiracy theories about finance and banking and the threatening powers that control them. I suppose you also take Ezra Pound's later obscenities about global finance and the reasons for war to heart. And therein lies the problem with the goldbug: the path to fascism.

All inflation is bad is a highly reductive argument. It is much more complicated than that and most economic models indicate that a certain amount of inflation is a good thing for overall growth. This is why, in the US, the Federal Reserve targets 2% inflation. There are a lot of positive effects to inflation and trying to control it so that it grows moderately is a good thing. There are decades of research as to why this is the case even though I suspect it won't sway you I suggest you try reading it if you are seriously interested in educating yourself about what you're talking about.

Do I believe the current economic conditions are the result of a scheme among elite bankers? No. A conspiracy involving more than two people is not sustainable and not a conspiracy. Financial regulation is managed in most Western countries by democratic representation. In the US they created the Federal Reserve system. If you want to see what they get up to they publish their board meeting notes, research, reports, results of votes, etc. It's open information.

If Americans have a problem with the system they're free to vote for representation that will introduce laws that will change the way the Federal Reserve is run... although in my experience very few people even know what the Fed does or that they have a website.

I don't need the thought experiments of a long-dead banker who didn't live to see the formation of the Federal Reserve. The quote you're citing is antiquated. Banks today don't make money on deposits like they did in this Rothschild's day and people aren't worried about runs on a bank's reserves anymore.

Although if they're invested in crypto via Tether or any other stable coin they ought to be.
Is it using Dark Sky data behind the scenes?
"The image he used is not really suited to PNG. It is more like a photograph, which is better in JPEG format, than an illustration, which is better as a PNG."

I use PNGs to archive photographs because it's lossless, supports 16-bit images, and is well supported across most software.

Not sure why you think it wouldn't be suitable for that.

JPEGs, on the other hand, would not be at all suitable for this purpose, as they're lossy and only support 8-bit images.
Another person saying "trust me with your crypto". People want to make money by putting fences around it. Not really offline or secure if you have to get the decryption key from someone else's servers...

At least the supermarkets are starting to leave some items empty instead of spreading things out. How many times over the past two years did I think I'd lost my mind when I couldn't find something routine... no, I wasn't overlooking things, the supermarket employees were just trying to make it look nicer. I guess even they started to feel like this was some sort of gaslighting. "Oh, no, we're not out of dried yeast... we don't sell dried yeast!"

For people on typical German IT/engineering wages, there's nothing approaching a problem getting enough to eat, or even a varied and balanced diet, but don't plan an evening around a particular recipe you don't already have all the ingredients to!

I'm glad I reacted to the glut of cheap strawberries from Greece this early spring by buying a couple of kilos and making jam out of them. Already stocked up my canning ingredients for wild plum season. I have a feeling there will not be short trees full of overripe fruit this year, though.

It'd take a pretty strong argument to convince me that this is so much more productive and allows for more innovation than the old days when the spec for things like Email, HTTP, IRC, XMPP allowed for a plethora of different tools unrelated to the company sponsoring the tech and people figured out how to make money USING the interoperable tech instead of OWNING the tech.

There is no OS industry anymore. What's left is OS's that ship telemetry and ads to customers (both Apple and MS do this). Linux-based OS's made a lot of progress, but still they're not ready for mass adoption.
>Yes, I am biased as I'm ethnically Portuguese, travel there often enough

Ah so you love the old "enjoy visiting the old country on the new country salary" bit. But what's good for you the occasional visiting ex-Portuguese may not be good for people who actually live there.

Portugal is furiously marketing itself to expats (retirees, entrepreneurs, professionals) because their government understands the demographic situation it's in. Stagnant population for ~30 years, but now the natural change is becoming so bad that without immigrants and expats, the depopulation will make any kind of economic growth impossible. A country needs a tax base, and your occasional visits won't do much for that.
Curious what advice I can get from HN on this. I've loved drawing since I was a little kid, but gave up in middle school because I just didn't know how to get better and didn't have access to improving (no money, nobody I could ask, etc). As an adult, how can I learn to draw? Ideally in a self-guided way
No, it really is very rare. This isn't some local perspective issue, this is a virus with an IFR of less than 0.1% and by no means everyone caught COVID, many never did. Again - if it were actually not rare, there would have been sufficient deaths from COVID in the pool of 65,000 vaccine trial participants (for Pfizer alone) to have actually seen a difference, but in reality more people died in the vaccine arm than the placebo arm! 65k people is a lot of people. That's more than the population of the town I grew up in, yet COVID deaths were so rare in that group that they may as well not have happened at all.

Bergamo coffins are not a great example to pick because that was an artifact of telling the local undertakers (whom were all quite old) that handling the bodies would be a death sentence, so they refused to do it and as a result coffins piled up.

Wow. You did a fantastic job at attempting to change my mind.

Are you seriously resorting to a manphobic ad hominem attack at someone's masculinity for simply pointing out stopping for 4-6 hours every 4-6 hours of driving obviously doubles trip time, and would require those who are trying to save money on flying, but not wanting to waste a half-week driving to the beach or a vacation spot is obviously because that person is on some sort of bench pressing flex thing?

Perhaps you forget the US is 40x bigger than Great Britain, so obviously what works for the majority of those in Britain (e.g. 300 miles) may not cleanly translate to other countries. I'm not telling you to not get an EV. It might work perfectly for you. But as of yet, all those advocating for it and blaming the problems of the world on ICEs still hasn't addressed the basic concerns many people still have about EVs.

Tell me your a condescending narcissist without telling me your a condescending narcissist again.

> Has domestic manufacturing ramped up in the US since covid?

How would that even be possible? The U.S. had very little manufacturing know-how leftover even before COVID, and now that's coupled with one of the most serious pandemics in history, political and economic turmoil if not chaos, and supply chain issues. How would a domestic manufacturing industry rise out of this? Where would people get the chips to build out the manufacturing?

Of course, maybe it did ramp up (?), but I would be wholly surprised.
