The second point doesn't make sense at all. Consumers vastly prefer standalone VR, and it was always the future.

For the first point, I'll give you that they prefer playing on their own platform. But they haven't "broken" anything. While yes you do need a software layer, e.g. Revive, you can still play steam games on oculus and oculus games on an index. And you have no idea whether that would have happened anyway as one of these companies got bigger.

Google used to say "do no evil" and now they don't, and they didn't get acquired before they changed. These things just happen.

Regular color tv broadcasts didn't start until the mid 50s (at least in North America), and even then it wasn't widespread for a number of years. I would expect there are quite a few HN users who grew up without color tv.
This. The network of lies may be intricate. The child may believe to be interacting with someone their age that they come to consider their best friend.

Think of the elaborate long-term deception that can be involved in regular heterosexual marriages. Some people have multiple families that don’t know about each other! Now consider what it can be like if that same dark energy is applied to lying to a child online.
Specifics might depend on the language, domain, and team (and individual preference), so it's hard to avoid being general.

I would say some junior devs can get too fixated on hierarchies and patterns and potential areas of code re-use, though; instead, they should try to write code that addresses core problems, and worry about creating more correct abstractions later. Just like premature optimization is the "root of all evil", the same goes for premature refactoring. This is the rule of YAGNI: You Ain't Gonna Need It. Don't write code for problems you think you might have at some indeterminate point in the future.

When it comes to testing, TDD adherents will disagree, but if you ask me it's overkill to test small private subroutines (or even going so far as to test individual lines of code). For example, if I have a hashing class, I'm just going to feed the hash's test vector into the class and call it done. I'm not going to split some bit of bit-shift rotation code off into a separate method and test only that; if there's a bug in that part, I'll find it fast enough without needing to give it its own unit test. That's what debuggers are for. All the unit test should tell me is whether I can be confident that the hashing part of my code is working and won't be the cause of any bugs up the line.

Obviously I'm not in the "tests first" camp; instead I write tests once a class is complete enough to have a clearly defined responsibility and I can test that those responsibilities are being fulfilled correctly.

Google sells ads on google maps. Users are as much of a product as the directions.

I'd bet a lot of money they are following pre-optimized trajectories or policies, using onboard sensing to localize. I didn't get a good sense from the article whether the CAD model was only used at startup / online, or if they used the CAD and found routes or policies first (pre-trained) and followed / executed during.

A great achievement, no doubt, but the days of hunter-killer drones flying willy nilly through arbitrary environments are not yet arrived.

> The Supreme Court is not a political organization.

They overturned a precedent from a majority opinion written in _2020_ by a sitting member of the current court, and solely because the membership of the court changed and reinterpreted the legality of it.

How else do you describe that behavior as anything but political?

That (and many others similar incidents, e.g. Ciudad Juárez) is an incident related to medical nuclear technology, caused by radiation source for radiation therapy. Irrelevant to nuclear energy discussion.

I’m familiar with firebase and an electron developer and I still don’t understand what this project does. I wish I did, because it seems it’d be interesting to me. Even the app that uses this (Presentator) is described in a way that leaves me grasping for “bit what does it DO?”
The book doesn't actually use british solar numbers for the rest of the world, it even suggests shipping in solar energy derived fuels from other countries to the UK and that even including the extra conversion and shipping/transmission costs would be competitive with nuclear built in the UK, which implies its a no-brainer for those source nations to use it for their own power.

Where it feels a little parochial, is its focus on the UK as if the GDP or population of the UK matters in the context of a global issue like sustainable energy.

It simply doesn't and he has enough facts and figures available even at that time to put that together, but probably fell into the classic british position of assuming they are more important than they really are in a global context.

Anyone outside the UK must read it in the same way people in the UK would read a small island dweller writing "Yes this might work for most of the UK but the Isle of Man would need to import power, which is simply unthinkable, even though it already does, so maybe we should build nuclear there instead to maintain the islands sovereignty".

Or maybe we can discount the needs of half a percent of the population if they run counter to the needs of the other 99.5% and focus on the big picture?

In the end we didn't need to as the wind power, heat pumps, EVs and carbon fees required for the UK overlapped heavily with other nations but this was a clear blindspot which I think you are charitably interpreting as a silly mistake when really it's more akin to arrogance.

This article clearly borrows from the concept of context in communication, but seems to invert the meanings (and doesn't use the word "communication" at all in the article).

Low or high context indicates how much context is required for the interlocutor to understand an utterance. Low context would be something like a text book (it has all the answers and does not require the reader to fill in the blanks); high context would be "They don't know what to do with it" (you can only understand that utterance if you already know "them", "it", and why "it" requires something be done with it).

The article refers, however to "high-context" or "low-context" individuals. I would expect a "high-context" individual to require someone else to fill in all the blanks (just the opposite of a text book). However, the article means that a "high-context" person is knowledgeable about the work context, not that you have to show them where the power outlet is and why you need to plug in the computer.

If we simply replace "high-context" with "knowledgeable", then all the article is trying to say is "Make sure to have your knowledgeable teammates dispersed and training others". Not a blinding insight? But then, you wouldn't have much of a blog post because you wouldn't have to build up a silly explanation of what a "high context" individual is in the first place.
I understand that, but really you have the option of either going all-in on nuclear and potentially making patches of several km² uninhabitable, or going all-in on fossil fuels and making gigantic regions of the earth uninhabitable due to climate change.

It is a choice between a very local problem or a global one. There is no free lunch.

Wrong.

The real issue isn't Desktop vs. Web, it is "people don't want to run their own servers".

Take email: with Dovecot, Postfix and SpamAssasin anyone can build their own email server. Almost no one does.

With Syncthing or Owncloud anyone can build their own Google Drive, iCloud or OneDrive. Very few do.

There are alternatives to WhatsApp/Telegram where you'd create your own server (e.g. Matrix). Almost no one uses them.

> No, I still have all of those worries. I still have to pay for the thing after all, so the consequences are entirely the same.

Hardly. If you can return it you get your money back, else not, so the financial consequences of able-to-return or not are 100% different.

Yeah, exactly.
May be unpopular, but: nextjs + react (+ bringing in typescript later if it starts feeling like types would be valuable).

1) React/jsx is legitimately nice for templating. Lets say I have a list of ten things I need to display; I know these things at build-time, its not dynamic like from an API or whatever. These ten things are reasonably complex; div+spans+borders+etc. React is all about components; it makes that easy, write once and copy-paste one line. There are ways to get similar behavior in plain HTML+CSS, but it tends to be leveraging web technologies that I'm not super familiar with (web components?).

2) React has an EXTREMELY good developer community. Everything you could possibly want, there's a component out there, and its an npm i away. In comparison, the more pure HTML/CSS world is more fragmented and less developed.

3) `next export`. When people think nextjs, they think SSR. Don't bother with it. Just `next export`. I leverage next for the local dev tooling, the runtime can take care of itself.

4) Or; I want server-side functionality. You can build backend-only API routes, in Next, and its actually awesome. Of course, you have to give up the static export, but its the first full stack JS "framework" where I've started thinking, this actually works & feels productive. Usually I leverage that for really simple stuff; server-side OAuth logins for hacky dashboards, things like that.

For deployment: netlify is nice, or I'll use digitalocean apps if its not a static export.
I’m perplexed by similar behavior. People insist on mixing fluff with the substance. Let’s first resolve the substance, shall we? Then we can talk the fluff.

“You have to learn to deal with it.”

Society would be so much better if this suggestion were recognized to be as problematic as the behaviors and situations it is suggested for.

Yes, you have to decide how you will handle these situations and individuals.

No, you do not just have to learn to deal with it.

No, you do not need to learn to reciprocate.

Both of these actions reward the bad behavior. You even point out that perceptible bullying isn’t ok, so the bullies have evolved. They got sneakier. So why is it that sneaky bullying is ok? No, it won’t go away, not if we decide it is to be tolerated.

These are choices that lead to outcomes. And that advice sounds no better than the advice to “just toughen up” or “stop whining” that I’m sure many remember hearing (or delivering) in their youths.

If time is money, so is mental health, and you would not believe the conversion rate on that one.

As for the first two paragraphs? I agree.

Actually, TikTok seems to do a good job. They understand they have a lot of children on the app and they take that very seriously as a responsibility. Unfortunately their solution is over-the-top censorship but it works better than other platforms from what I've seen. They used to have a "no politics" policy where TikTok simply wasn't a place for politics. They scale moderation by simply over-moderating and that is in line with their offering of a curated feed as opposed to a "platform" for arbitrary content delivery.
It seems like your team should check for DRYness with a static analyzer like PMD. Your reviewers have better things to look at.
To be clear, rsync.net zfs should work with any/all shell or script-based ZFS replication tools. The basic documentation for zrepl here is good, but you can also use sanoid/syncoid, zsnapzend, etc.

But they also leak personal data. A lot.

At this point, I'm willing to believe that the other adtech-corporations are more likely to be interested and capable in maintaining your data out of the prying eyes (of competing adtech-corporations).

not the center of innovation, but def the center of gravity post innovation and facing the market. for example, lots of original innovation coming out of clusters around the US (self driving in MI, energy in Houston), but when it comes time to get beyond seed or class A, those founders are going to feel an incredibly strong gravity towards SV.

I wont say never, but network effects make tbe gravity well of SV hard to ignore. Seattle is maybe the only other place I woukd think of as having enough capital to get out of the well.
>Do note that dmix runs in user-space like any other sound server.

Dmix is explicitly not a sound server, it is a plugin implemented in the alsa library that does "cooperative" mixing of the sound in an shm region. Adding all those other features and turning it into a daemon is a rather roundabout way to re-implement pulseaudio.

>No, I specifically mean the use of large buffers and rewind usage compared to smaller buffers

Right, but an application can still submit a large buffer that then needs to get muxed down. Pipewire has to account for this possibly by emulating that rewind inside the daemon.

>Lennart himself said that most programs should not target the PA API

I think you have missed this emphasized part:

>For now, the PulseAudio API should be used only for applications that want to expose sound-server-specific functionality (such as mixers) or when a PCM output abstraction layer is already available in your application and it thus makes sense to add an additional backend to it for PulseAudio to keep the stack of audio layers minimal

So that would be why gstreamer targeted the PA API, anyway.

>The "proof" that I mention is that most programs ended up targeting the PA API _anyway_ , despite the recommendations of the author

That article was written in 2008, things changed since then. Wim is currently saying the same type of things about the pipewire API (because it is unstable and unwieldy) but I suspect eventually it will become stabilized, gain some convenience features and then become used by applications just like the PA API...
Very insightful. Do you work in finance ?
I work with similar systems a lot, given the modulation and power output, 1-10km would be a reasonable range band, 10km being line of sight under real world conditions, 1km being light urban propagation. It could theoretically be much worse in a dense urban environment with a high noise floor but I think you can safely put it around or slightly better than the performance of those blister pack FRS walkie talkies.

For comparison, my APRS mobilinkd modem attached to a 5 Watt handheld 144mhz radio will routinely do an order of magnitude better and the same modem on my 50w mobile car radio will approach two orders (double the base range plus additional antenna efficiencies).
That's always going to happen though.

The government doesn't always have attention and money to shower on nuclear plants.
I've heard a tinfoil take that this is intentional malicious compliance to cause banner blindness. If you put the warning on everything then you can sell dangerous materials because people won't be checking the label. If you label everything "WARNING: Contains Dihydrogenmonoxide" then people will ignore it when it says "WARNING: Contains Lead"
AFAIK, dropbox also needs the internet to work, doesn't it?
And none of the systems enforcing this will be able to give you better info than your own eyes. As in, they will not solve the problem you describe.

So many times the cars with these smart assistants either:

- get triggered by a wrong sign; for example off-ramp having different speed limit than main road and the car picking up the sign on the off-ramp

- don’t see an actual sign, especially in the tight bends

- have no clue that a speed limit is enforced at specific times only

- the biggest danger: poor visibility, especially in heavy rain

I very much like having a reference speed limit in front of me, especially on a HUD. I also very much like a speed limiter. But a car not obeying inputs of the driver, that’s a bit too far. I’m the driver, I can see what the speed limit is, the car thinks it knows but in many cases, it’s plain wrong. Automatic braking will be very dangerous.

I wonder how many tesla-style accidents we’re going to witness caused by those automatically slowing down systems.

Frankly, I very much look forward to when a speed limit of 120kph gets introduced in Germany and the day after it’s introduced it will be „dangerous to speed” while people were driving much faster for decades…
People who seriously need communications hidden are probably using espionage type tactics already. Put out a benign signal out in the public realm someplace, but your agents have the secret key that turns that seemingly irrelevant signal into an actionable message. Number stations are the famous example (1), but lets think in terms of 2022. Imagine you had an instagram page that posted a certain meme of interest at a particular time as the signal, for instance. Or a seemingly automatic discord bot operation. Or a reddit bot coming in at a certain time to automatically correct a common typo. Anything could be used as a signal. This form of communication imo is impossible to prevent by virtue of that, and people would be wise to use it if they are speaking of things that require such protections.

In what world would a company give publish rights to a non-employee / not under contract person?
I'm mostly referring to the section on storage, which is still largely true today. Germany does not have enough mountain areas to build significant hydro storage, and no other storage technology currently comes close to that in terms of efficiency and scale. We could of course produce hydrogen and burn that again but there the round-trip efficiency is only around 20 % in the best case I think (up to 50 % if we could use the waste heat as well), compared to around 80 % for hydro. Hence we would need to over-provision wind & solar energy production by 400 % to use this form of storage, which is highly unlikely as we will have trouble fulfilling our current ambitious goals for wind and solar, which already require a 500-1000 % increase in construction rates over the next decades.

Batteries would be another candidate but again the required amount of energy and the power slew rate are enormous, so storage facilities would be extremely costly and would compete with electric car battery production. I don't have much faith in the idea of storing energy in electric vehicle batteries as most of these cars will be on the road when the energy is needed (7-9 am) and will be mostly plugged in to charge when renewable production is low (during the night). Also I'm not sure if the electricity grid would even allow such a conversion as it's not designed for many small producers arranged in a mesh.
I imagine the military value will be too hard to overlook, and will get a lot of Defense dollars.

A drone air force is much cheaper than a traditional one with pilots.

But you know what else isn't explicitly supported in the Constitution and only exists through "creative" interpretation, rather than a Constitutional Amendment? The Supreme Court's power of judicial review. They literally just made it up in Marbury v. Madison.
