Oh please. Just give me solid and stable phone functions without spying on me. Is that too much to ask, Apple?
I'm teaching it to my 10 year old. Also we don't allow our kids' teachers to post their photos online either. They are taught that privacy is precious and some essential "defense against dark arts".

I joke with them that if they googled my name (somewhat unique) you'd find 3-5 other people - none of whom look at all like me. Any hits I have are far far below the fold.
I’ll just say. Since about 3.6/3.8 the language has been growing huge. Like C++ huge.

I liked f-strings. Asyncio has its place but is waaay overused. Typing was a cool idea, but so awkward in practice.

All of it has really turned me off, personally. It’s getting to where reading libraries is just painful. The simplicity of the language was really beautiful and when I wanted type safety, etc. I’d use something else. I can still write simple Python, but it’s more all the other code I need to grok.

I find myself going to Go more and more for stuff I used to use Python for. It’s easier to set up a dev environment for other people, easier to distribute code, and gives me type safety and concurrency as first class citizens while being a very small language.

I miss dictionary comprehensions and other shortcuts from time to time. But it actually feels more ergonomic now.

All personal opinion. I’m fine shifting languages. I still write C from time to time to bang bits. I play with various LISPs to exercise my brain. I never used Python for performance critical code. I guess ML is changing that need.

But I know others that want Java to have functional features and Python to have this stuff.

I’m not saying I’m “right”, just uncomfortable in a place I used to love to hang out in.
I kinda knew this comment would show up. It's completely irrelevant / orthogonal to what I'm saying. But I knew someone would have to beat their favorite horse :D

Yes, Rust may have somewhat better programmer productivity than C, but it's not really at a massively higher level of abstraction.
Books are the original metaverse. Are we spending too much time in worlds in our head and not enough in real life?

There was a slum in Varna in the 90s with shacks made of tin and cardboard and most of them had satellite dishes on top. The need to escape physical circumstances and real-world stress is real. The part that's missing is boredom that allows you to create something others wouldn't have created. If you make room for that, despite all the pleasures, you are not leaving the world as a visitor, but as a contributor.
You could call that the "hidden variable" theory of life. There's a spark of life that begins somewhere, but we don't know it exactly so let's err on the side of caution. That could very well be true, but it's slightly different from my argument. I contend that there is no objective spark of life. We can call whatever we like "alive." It's just a word, one that only has meaning to the extent that we find it useful. Hence if we pick an arbitrary moment such as the start of the 3rd trimester as the beginning of life, it's not a priori correct or incorrect. It's only right or wrong to the extent that it supports or conflicts with principles that we hold more important. (E.g. I personally would hold the bodily autonomy of the pregnant person to be more important than assigning the right to life to a fetus pre brain-activity.)
Poised for a breakthrough in luxury travel? ok. i'd accept that. silent and smooth travel (as long as you can avoid inclement weather).
One critical example of such infrastructure is the Linux kernel, used in most servers in the world as well as in billions of devices.

...billions of devices which the manufacturer does not want you to own, to be fair, and for which full ownership requires breaking through the security features that initiatives like this are trying to strengthen. You might think that's a political/social issue and this is merely a technical one, but if the tech advances ahead without such consideration, eventually there might be no way to oppose. That's why things like this always make me feel considerable unease...

"The road to hell is paved with good intentions."
I haven’t had fake goods, but I’ve had it happen where a generic part seems to get substituted for an OEM part, even if it is sold by Amazon.com. Things like replacement water filters or vacuum cleaner bags.
My whole workflow is based on `git add -p`.. I'm sold, going to give it a go.
Better error messages is something that literally every single language/framework/library should prioritize. It improves users lives by more than almost everything else besides correctness. It’s been great to see the improvements in python.
I saw 2049 when it came out. I didn't like the original film much but of course was still curious about the sequel since I liked the original novel.

One problem I have with both these movies is that the whole "memories" thing doesn't have anything to do with the point the original novel was making. The main point of the original novel is that the replicants are fake human beings which are not only deplorable due to their lack of empathy but are also rather dangerous, and that real human beings will likely become dehumanized ourselves in our eventual efforts to eradicate them. I'm paraphrasing Dick in that last sentence but you can hear the more full version in this interview: https://invidious.snopyta.org/watch?v=3d7XMnmPgUk

Anyway, I agree that 2049 has more of a plot than the original, but I lost most of my interest in the movie as soon as I realized that the main character was a replicant (which unfortunately happened pretty early on). Great cinematography though.
Thanks damsta!
Show HN: Tool to find product alternatives when nomading
I have created a tool where we can input products we found difficult to find when abroad in diffrent countries.
users will be able to search for the best alternative in that country.
we can also rate the products and leave comments on them to help other travellers.
Basically, Christian.
One front end per platform (i.e. if you have web, Android, iOS, you have three FE devs). Two back end. One PM.

That's one team. If you have enough resources for two teams like this, add another. If not, don't.

Then an experienced designer, team lead, engineering manager, business manager. Usually with a lean team, the CTO is all the managers too, and some FE person is the designer.

I'd have a dedicated designer if at all possible. Designers are probably some of the best ROI from a business perspective. Outsource if you have to.

If you have multiple teams, then they should have ownership over their own territory. One way we've split it is that Team A works on core functionality (deeper), Team B works around core functionality (broader), Team C does experimental shit with experimental technology and new partners and no users nor deadlines.

The costs of having a process for two people work on the same block of code is very high, sometimes over double having one person. If you're building to scale to a hundred engineers, you lose the benefits of being a startup.

Sometimes there's a burst of work. You can add more hands and hire contractors. But I don't recommend changing the process unless you need to. Add code review as a process once you have 3 people on the same code base.
Yeah I'm not hard headed about it and get that it's not for everyone. I'd be open to other possibilities for how the ending was handled. I definitely don't think direct narration would have worked though. The voiceovers in the theatrical cut of Blade Runner are almost universally disliked. Some less subtle hints like you say could have worked.

I thought Spielberg ruined AI btw. But that's a different topic. I thought the final scene was the only good one in the movie. The imagery and implications stuck with me for decades.
Came here to say this. The book is fantastic in itself too and I view the movie more as a "visualization of the parts that Kubrick found the most interesting". I see those two as slightly different art pieces and love them both. The second book was also great but I think it lost a bit of what made 2001 special by the 3rd and 4th books.

The books are actually quite easy to read and as much as I adore the movie of 2001, I think the book's ending is even more visually spectacular. Highly highly recommended.
I don't think mandating anything works very well, you should trust your employees enough to let them work out amongst themselves how best to work.

Personally I hate WFH, so I choose to work from the office. I have a coworker that I work with every few days on stuff and he's never in the office unless he absolutely has to be, and that arrangement works great. No one had to mandate anything and upset people, we just worked out something that works for us and made it happen.
The $1000 product has 8gb of ram, the $1400 air is the one with the equivalent ram and memory specs.

Look at the m1 Mac vs the m1 air, and the m1 MacBook Pro vs the m1 studio. The m1 air comes at a $300 premium, the m1 MacBook Pro comes at a $900 premium. Incidentally meaning that the m1 pro 8 core chip is not coming at a price premium over the m1 air 8 core chip.

I think the idea a webcam, a screen, a trackpad, a battery, a case, and a keyboard is worth $900 is what's eyebrow raising about Apple's pricing but at the end of the day professional users are price insensitive and Apple understands that. The other issue is that integrated SSD and memory, for any brand not just Apple is a bit of a racket compared to buying some workstation laptop with so-dimm slots and an NVME slot.
Even without leaving Scott, Alien seems to have been at least as visually influential as Blade Runner. Plus of course Star Wars and Star Trek...

Blade Runner is fairly distinctive even today (outside of Cyberpunk, most other post-82 sci fi that I can think of is definitely more influenced by other things) which IMO is a sign that it isn't as universally influential as other 70s/80s sci-fi films.

Off the top of my head, do any of BSG, Babylon 5, Mass Effect, Jurassic Park, Inception, Terminator, The Expanse, Interstellar, Independence Day, or The Matrix have particularly strong ties to Blade Runner's aesthetic compared to their ties to other early film sci-fi?

I think "Largest" is for codebase size. For most widespread software project, it would be SQLite or Zlib.
Depends to what extent. I have three children (4-9yo) and take them out of school now and then to do trips from a week up to three months. When I was a teenager, my parents took our family (us kids were 9-14) to China for three months, and that was an amazing experience for which I'll always be thankful. I carried text books in my luggage.

It is certainly harder and unless home schooling you want a home base/school, but you definitely don't need to be anchored to just school holiday periods. In our area, you file for a school exemption which is reviewed by the principal and, unless your child is lagging, they seem to approve it easily enough. You can find out what they'll miss in class and take materials along for the kids to do as activities.

Our holidays are more adventurous than sitting around a pool (usually roadtrips/hiking/camping) and we constantly talk about what's around us, so holidays are very educational and I don't feel like I'm letting the kids down long-term by pulling them out of school now and then.

Doing more than that though might be disruptive or difficult. You'd need to be travelling prior to school age, home schooling (adds extra workload for the parents) or switching schools/curricula frequently. I know home schooling is not entirely uncommon, but I think there'd be inevitable sacrifices if you were juggling that on top of work and travel.
I agree in part. The texting, social media, etc. has the same disjointed tone as the "now, this" attitude of television that Postman wrote about. However, he had a specific concern with images versus text (whatever kind of text) -- namely, that they pass too quickly for people to dwell upon and can never advance an argument in the way that writing can.

To be honest, I think this is a general weakness in Postman's work. He talks a bit about the difference between pre and post-telegram writing, but he lionizes all 18th century writing despite there being tons of different forms (pamphlets, books, novels) that don't have the same intellectual value imo.
> hit the speed of growth that it had in the 1990s? It seems the big economic gains of the Internet came early

It did, just not in the way you're describing it. This is how it's manifested itself:

> Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft and Facebook all account for just under 20 percent of the market value for the entire S&P 500. With a collective value of nearly $5 trillion, these top tech companies easily dwarf other entire industries in the index, with companies like Berkshire Hathaway and JPMorgan Chase falling well short. Currently, the total valuation of the S&P 500 is almost $27 trillion.

If you like Brazil, I would also recommend The Zero Theorem. It's sort of a spiritual successor to Brazil AFAIK. It's maybe not as memorable and iconic as Brazil, though, but worth at least one watch.
I think this is sound design consideration in action-- we all have, "supercomputers" in our proverbial wallets-- assuming that conspicuous consumption is likely to continue-- what, "add-ons" could you incorporate into future, "phones?"

We too easily get lost in, "but actually conspicuous consumption is kind of killing the planet" land as designers and consumer electronics has been sorely impacted as a result. How ironic it may be when a lack of technological and economic growth fueled by climate concerns ends up bankrupting the economy for renewables and permaculture.

I'd trade 5 Apple watches for a functional Japanese watch-TV from the 80s. Perhaps I should listen to myself speak sometimes.
Could you elaborate why Zalando is #1?

We abandonded Zalando after failing to set it up properly. Don’t remember the details, but do remember that the setup is leaning towards the internal infrastructure at Zalando.
A little more detail: for Christians, baptism is considered to be a requirement to enter the kingdom of God (per John 3:5), but obviously most people throughout the history of the world never get that opportunity. This creates a problem because Christians also believe that God is a god of justice. Proxy baptisms resolve the issue by performing the ordinance for each individual who didn't receive it while alive, and then it's left to them to reject it or accept it.

Interestingly, proxy baptisms for the dead were part of early Christian theology, but a few hundred years after Christ's time, some committees or councils or whatever decided to remove it, so for most branches of Christianity the theology was changed to forbid it, though it's still present in a couple of branches.
> Just because stocks have fallen 20% does not mean they will continue falling, and making a new high does not mean they will continue rising

I agree with you that it's not a useful metric to inform any trading decisions, since the past performance leading up to the "bear market" isn't indicative of the future performance, but I find some joy in seeing the recovery and eventually the new peak. Essentially, this website is a nice visualization of that

That's actually why the disclaimer is there too :p just to make sure no one takes it very seriously
> the goal with DevOps was to stop doing the old "here's a build, deploy it" that caused so much wailing and gnashing of teeth

From an ops point of view that might be the main selling point. From a dev point of view a key selling point was not having to wait a month for every minor configuration change to go though change management processes.
As someone who mainly sits in the C++ and not the Python space - why?

Can't you still use all those old features just as you did before? If you don't like the complexity of newer libraries and features, they're still optional aren't they?

Or did something fundamental shift (aside from the obvious P2->P3 switch) that has made existing features harder to use?
omg

Just watch the video, you will not be disappointed.

A quality that makes a film commercially successful is not automatically a quality which makes a film great art.

They're two independent concepts.

So to weight popular success in any sense when deciding artist merit is a mistake.

Popular is popular. Art is art. Ceci n'est pas une pipe.

Leave this up to the workers to choose how they want to work. It's easier and doesn't require everyone to go through a self-sorting process and switch jobs.
I might, I’ll dig through my notes and get back to you.
The sentence is structured a bit oddly but are you really proposing someone wouldn't say "A British veteran paleontologist"? It is not uncommon to mention someone's nationality alongside their profession when talking in an international context.

Tell HN: College students are now considerably more fat
Just wanted to share a personal observation, I dropped out of college in 2012, and went to a coding bootcamp then got a job, worked my way from code monkey to sr dev, got bored after 5 years and thought why not finish degree just needed 1.5 of a semester. When I went back in 2018ish I really noticed how now at least 40% kids were fat. I'm obese too but not Walmart fat. Before there used to be like 2 people among 400. I felt alarmed and sad. I've struggled with weight all my life, don't even eat pizza or touch soda for years. I envy people who complain about not being able to gain weight. So it was sad knowing how much it sucks. So many now are way overweight. Which sucks because being handsome kind of matter more in 20s than say in 40s if you are married and have kids etc.

I also read that even wild animals are getting fatter. That's really big clue, why all humanity is getting obese. Maybe in future we will look back pitifully knowing the true reasons.
It's been a while since I read Letters from a Stoic, but I have a feeling Seneca would scoff at frivolous pursuits - leave such things to the Epicureans. He comes off as a bit of a (humorously) grumpy old man in that book though.

I ultimately agree with you, but in between a raspberry pi and “hefty bills CDNs” is something like a half rack at a Colo, a f5, and a couple PowerEdges.
The role of email verification is as a simple check for whether the email entered is controlled by the user entering it. A non-reponse by the owner of the email implies denial. So it's denial by default, and that only changes if specific action is taken (i.e. clicking on the confirmation link).

I suspect the reason for not having an explicit 'deny' button is based on cost-benefit analysis. The benefits might be limited to 1. Improved user satisfaction, and 2. Minimise the risk that a user might accidentally click the confirmation link. But I suspect these aren't enough to outweigh the extra (arguably unnecessary) effort of implementing it.
Well, the recent Supreme Court ruling would suggest that stare decisis is unreliable at best.
> the whole thing feels hacky as hell

Couldn’t agree with you more, especially if you’re used to the quality of strimzi.
Source code has issues with obfuscation methodologies that can defeat a lot of techniques. It’s why companies are trying to build more analysis down into the kernel such as via EBPF. For example, concatenating a series of strings and characters that wind up reading from .AWS/credentials in the end is surprisingly tough to catch based upon simple pattern recognition alone, especially if it’s done in a subtle way such as with a spare buffer while doing other legit activities. So until the syscall gets issued and all substitutions resolved the user space analysis can be highly resource intensive or inaccurate
Newer packaging-related PEPs require TOML, and many developer tools use TOML by choice, but a fresh install of Python couldn't actually read it. That required workarounds from tool and library maintainers, making it more complicated to support as many users' preferences and ways of working as possible.

However you prefer to work, your tools may now be easier to test and maintain. This change is good for everyone.
Personally I love the touchbar. I got a M1 with the touchbar and some extra RAM/SSD and it's my main machine, but if I had have been in the market for purchasing one now instead of 6 months ago I definitely would have gone for the 13" Pro still. It has other advantages over the Air as well like active cooling (useful in some edge cases) and better battery life.

Having said that, I feel like I'm definitely in a tiny minority here.
I sort of feel similarly. I do wonder if it would be more meaningful to engage in a dialog with someone on HN beyond just one off replies.

Just small talks on Discord for example. I'm pcurve#3558

In a way, HN is a forum with built in common interest.
Shacl: A Description Logic in Disguise
I wasn't even including the ~3% payment commission.

Back in the day before eBay required everything to go through Paypal, I was happy to give a discount for anything but Paypal: COD, cash-in-mail or money order. I earned some add'l sales from the voluntarily and involuntarily un/under-banked.

Now eBay is going to automatically charge Canadian sales taxes on my Canadian sales... even though I would be exempt myself as a small supplier. Ugh.
I believe the ending had more abstract inverted color visuals, as special effects at the time we're not capable of depicting what Clarke described. I agree, I would have loved to see the scenes in the book.
Same as nomilk. Instead of command + click you can also do middle click (click on wheel).
Maybe try the Mac build of edge?
I don't think they're being mean, they just aren't tech literate enough to know the difference between good and great. Which is why I see people job hop for a while, only to try their luck at a start up where they can get in on the ground floor and become the CTO or vice president of something. I guess once they're in that club, they try to job hop again into bigger and better companies.
Listing "the biggest budget Hollywood films slated for release in 2022 or 2023" is literally listing the head, not the tail!

If you want to look at the tail, look at something like the top rated movies of 2022[1]. There the number 1 film is "The Worst Person in the World"[2], a Norwegian romantic comedy with a budget of $5.6M and box office takings of $12.1M.

There's also "Poly Styrene: I Am a Cliché" - a documentary film about Poly Styrene, the lead singer of X-Ray Spex which won a British Independent Film Awards "Best Documentary" award and is soon to be released on Apple TV.

That's what the long tail looks like. Lots of small successes, which in aggregate add up to a lot of people and a lot of money.

Why America can’t build
Every single study has shown kids learning ability was decimated by distance learning. At this point, anybody advocating for distance learning for young children should be assumed to have nefarious intentions since the science on that is settled.
Answering to myself.

From Ubuntu 20.04 generic kernel 5.13:

CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON=y
# CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC is not set
CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE=y
# CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is not set
CONFIG_NO_HZ=y
# CONFIG_HZ_100 is not set
CONFIG_HZ_250=y
# CONFIG_HZ_300 is not set
# CONFIG_HZ_1000 is not set
CONFIG_HZ=250

Without looking up all details now I guess CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE=y means tickless when idle?

That's of course not a very new kernel. Archlinux has 5.18, but don't have my machine accessible at this moment.
