Not Java, but close. With Kotlin, there is a version of Jetpack Compose (Android UI framework) ported for the Web. It's still experimental. Produced size is a bit too much (because of Kotlin/JS not being super optimized yet).

Vaadin has been around for a while now. I don't know how people feel about it. There is still some room for them on the market. It's "just" a backend service (Spring/VertX/etc) + a UI library (Vaadin's one/etc). It could look like Next.js but for JVM languages.

Just thinking out loud.
It certainly seems worst in the UK.
Taxi in Europe is hugely dependent on country. Take Sweden, anyone can start a taxi company as long as you have a capital reserve of €5000 per vehicle, some requirements on equipment and insurance and a taxi drivers license for anyone who is driving, nothing hard to get. There haven't been anything similar to medallion systems and what not since it was deregulated in 1990.

Uber Pop got kicked out in a couple of months with Uber having to pay the social security costs of the employees. Now it's just an aggregator of Taxi companies, same with Bolt. The possible margin is minuscule since the drivers change apps depending on which pays the best. Often having both open.

For the companies themselves it's an extremely cutthroat business. From what I have heard the only chance to make any money is to own about 50 cars and have all maintenance in house. Otherwise it's just a fools attempt at being independent.
Although your description doesn't sound like anything I'd expect most people to call NSFW/L, if it is for you then yeah I don't think you should browse it from work. FWIW I think you also got real unlucky on the ratio, I did quite a few and didn't come across any blood and only one male nipple
Yeah, a managed host means what the fediverse would call a public instance.

The compromise of decentralization is that if you have an account on mastodon.social, they can censor you (for good or bad reasons), or the people you'd like to follow. You can move to another instance, but your identity has to change (though at least now you have a decent likelihood of being able to transfer your social graph along with you). And because discovery of instances is not perfectly frictionless, people tend to just sign up for the big instances (like mastodon.social).

All that said, any solution is also going to introduce new problems. And there's absolutely no reason to think that adding blockchains to the mix is going to do anything but harm.
Dumb question. Why can’t we focus on a single exoplanet, look for mountains, grass, buildings?

Why am I so stupid but isn’t this the obvious thing to do?
This mentality was common with penny stocks around 1998 (maybe still true). But the belief (and reality) was that you just didn't want to be left holding the bag at the end. If you got in low enough and got out soon enough, that's all you wanted. So it was all pump and dump. No one believed in the companies, but they believed they could be in early enough and out just in the nick of time.

At a larger scale, I'm not sure the difference with the NYSE or NASDAQ. I don't vote w/ any of the companies for which I own stock. I just hope I buy low and sell when it is much higher -- just the volumes are large enough that small players can't pump the value of the stock -- but reddit and TikTok has shown even this world can be gamed.
I think the Android ROM scene is starting to die out in general. Stuff not working outside official ROMs/on rooted devices has always been a problem, especially with DRM. People want the freedom to do what they want with their hardware and DRM people want people to do only what they allow with their hardware, the two parties will always be at odds.

Huge parts of the ROM scene were on Google Plus (yes, people actually used that) rather than on XDA and similar, which didn't help. Google also tends to hire people who do impressive modifications for Android ROMs like the person who wrote magisk, making the custom ROM scene shrink some more. I remember the ROM scene being so much more active before the corruption and death of Cyanogenmod!

Hmmmm do fees scale with leverage? I don't know if that's true...

My understanding is that leverage is profitable to trading platforms, not because the fees are bigger, but because bigger leverage is "more fun" and so people trade more.

I don't know, you might be right.
Life has been good in the west for a long, long time. But looking at how my great-grandfather lived (through the depression), and his point of view is massively different.

Economically things look rather grim. Goods will get more and more expensive. People will have less money to spend on frivolous items. Before they'd ignore minor expenses, now they will look for the best possible deals.

Subscriptions only work when people don't pay attention. BMW will be OK because it's just a rich person's toy anyway. I don't see it working for mass-market cars.

Drivers don't materialize out of thin air in a short time period.
Oh, you will find one comment of mine about the taxi mafia on yesterday thread.

Of course, it does not justify exploiting workers. Protecting people from those practices is one of the reasons we have governments composed of independent powers, and entire structures with the only purpose of keeping those honest. People aren't complaining about Uber because it looks like that on their case, those safeguards are working. (As an example, this article could only be written because the safeguards are working.)

And yeah, they were some courageous people that insisted on breaking some really immoral laws and destroying a really bad local actor. If it wasn't for them, city transportation would probably be the same it was at the 2000's. Of course, they did it for their own immoral motives, using bad practices that should be punished. It just looks like they will be punished, so why bother hating them? Just use a lower priced competitors that probably treats their drivers better, and forget them.
I suppose that is true, but also very nitpicky. Let me rephrase: no net value is created.

If you win 50 bucks in a casino and spent 100 betting, I suppose you technically "won" 50 bucks, but in colloquial use of language it'd be more correct to say you lost 50 bucks.
The implication is that one of the reasons THIS company was so successful was that there was a whole cohort of people without any options due to hard financial times. Gig economy companies used that crack in the economy to wedge in and displace good jobs with temp work.

what distributed database would let you own your identity without any third party party being able to take it away from you?

that's a necessary condition for sufficient decentralization, and the only distributed databases capable of achieving such guarantees are L1 blockchains.
Taxi services in Germany pre-Uber weren't perfect but they weren't the disfunctional rackets you see in the States. Uber "succeded" in Europe by undercutting existing farily decent service providers with subsidised fares. Those subsidise seem to have dissapeared and at least in London Uber is now in my experience no cheaper and significantly less reliable that the older firms which have survived.

Amazon as an organization doesn't care who you are or what demographic groups you belong to so long as the ROI of your continued employment is in the same ballpark as everyone else with your job title.

You remove the metrics and then anyone who has the authority to fire people for poor performance gains the ability to fire people for personal bias reasons while saying it's for performance reasons.

The whole point of the metrics is that it makes it harder to make decisions that are bad for the company (like firing otherwise productive people because you don't like them) under the guise of them being good for the company. Because of the metrics people with the authority to do influence hiring and firing at scale can't fire protected demographics without leaving an incriminating paper trail and getting told by legal to knock it off. Nor those people put their thumb on the scale fire non-protected demographics before some MBA sees what's going on and tells them to knock it off because they're leaving money on the table.

Literally none of the bad stuff you have described is made better by removing performance tracking and much of it is made worse. Go read about what working for BigCo was like for members of race/religious/political groups in the first half of the 20th century if you don't believe me.

The Revenge of Lisp strikes again. Yet another reason for why your program should look like a big ball of mud?
You are incorrect. The C++ standard says a whole lot about it, and has detailed aliasing rules and rules about which pointers are valid. Your "magic trick", depending on details, isn't a standard conforming program; the standard will say that it has undefined behavior. That's why, as you say, the optimizer assumes you can't possibly have such a pointer, but what you get wrong is that the C++ standard describes the rules, in detail.

I've been doing this stuff for a long time, going back to egcs and even before.

Uber gets all the blame but in NYC the police are well known for impounding they cars of interracial couples as “illegal cabs” at the airport. They have toned it down a lot after news exposure and lawsuits but it still happens. The NYC medallion system led to a lot of abuse - the city auctioned a handful each year, often fetching over a million dollars each, and going to a handful of operators who could afford them. The drivers had to pay up front daily to rent them, the car, and give a portion of their fares also. If you took a car out of the lot you’d be working half the day just to break even with the rental fees. Uber was often a better deal.

Post Uber the medallion prices plunged and are now only worth a couple hundred thousand - probably less now. The city makes back some of the money by charging license fees to the app drivers.
There aren't telescopes big enough to do that.

> They call their country France, named after the Germanic tribe of the Franks.

You mean, the Germans who call it “Frankreich”?

There were several Frankish tribes, who occupied over the years regions from Thuringia all the way to Gascony. You might have heard of Clovis, king of the Franks, baptised at Reims and who made Paris the capital of his kingdom, and founded the Frankish Merovingian dynasty that ruled almost all of what is France now for 2 centuries. Gauls had been heavily romanised well before that point anyway.

You should probably read a bit in a subject before trying to be clever.
We can, and do. They're so far away that even our largest telescopes see only a few pixels.

Examples:

When Hubble looked at Pluto, it was a low-detail blur ("The Hubble raw images are a few pixels wide"), and that's within our solar system. https://esahubble.org/images/opo1006h/

Remember, the first exoplanet was detected in 1992, and not by imaging; prior to that we didn't even know if they existed at all. JWST's planning started in 1996.
But that's a criminal matter, in a crime that doesn't target Honda. Getting police to prosecute that without naming any victims would he hard, if it's even legally possible in their jurisdiction. Getting anywhere would involve some legwork from Honda to find the victims, and convincing the relevant parties to prosecute, before you get to a court case at all.

> It may have gone up 50% in the past ten years, but it languished for decades before that.

I appreciate your attempt to find some kind of reply, but, locally, minimum wage is up 1,567% since the first year it was in effect. Inflation is up only 810% over the same period. That's a substantial real gain.

> Second - does minimum wage apply to gig workers in your location?

As of a couple of months ago, yes. But, really, was anyone turning on their car for less than minimum wage before? You'd be losing money hand over fist doing that. There is no purpose in driving for Uber if you are losing money. Doing nothing at all is the clear winner in that scenario.

> Because in most places they have successfully classified their employees as “contractors”.

Which is fair. It's clearly a contractor position by every measure, and remains a contractor position here even with the recent laws surrounding those contracted services. As you can see, contractor doesn't have to mean a free-for-all. Contractors can be given worker rights too.

> But taxis drivers made and do make more than uber drivers. That sounds like a middle man got in and lowered wages.

Taxis, in many jurisdictions, have historically held a monopoly/oligopoly. That sounds more like new competition has increased competitiveness, which doesn't come as any surprise. A lowered price isn't the same as exploitation, though.
From what I've been told, yes, they're serious. Accumulate enough warnings of a certain type, and you're automatically removed from the scheduled and queued for termination, from what I've been told. Local management isn't empowered to do anything about it, and as a warehouse employee you're basically relegated to making an appeal to an automated system.
I think you also had a similar comment and linked the same article under the previous topic about JWST's first image?

The article is very informative, but my read of it is different: the three major "spikes" are in fact due to the hexagonal shape of the mirrors and how they're laid out. The struts also add three spikes, but: two of them coincide with the mirror spikes, while one of them (from the vertical strut) is visible on its own, and causes the smaller perfectly horizontal spike.

The image I'm basing this on is in your article with a caption starting from "The point spread function for the James Webb Space Telescope" [1]

The specific situation I was referring to was when I was working as a contractor on a rolling contract so I had very little legal protections, nor was I entitled to severance. I had been contracting there for years so this came completely out of the blue.

I've had a similar things happen a couple of other times though, once during a mass layoff of the engineering department and the another time at a startup that ran out of money after a failed funding round. Both of those times I was kind of aware of the situation about a month ahead of time and was in a better financial situation so they went much smoother although it was still a very stressful few weeks.

I've never been fired, but I've seen people get fired for fairly trivial reasons. Basically, "we don't really like him and this is a good excuse to get rid of him".
Either they're doing the UX research wrong or (more likely) you're misunderstanding the process. You don't ask them if you should do X/Y/Z. You ask them to do X in the program, and see that none of them can find widget Y which controls it because they keep clicking on widget Z.

It's about observing the users fumble through your UX when you know their motivation.

Yes, if we were to take our best image ever, the Hubble eXtreme Deep Field and multiply it by the whole sky, we would likely see 176 billion galaxies using that same telescope and exposure. That could be considered a lower limit. But we also have models of mass and galaxy formation that suggest the number of galaxies within the observable universe is many times larger, maybe up to 2 trillion. Hubble cannot see everything at every wavelength, even if we have unobstructed line of sight to it.

Jump as a concrete implementation is easy to understand (it's just math on a program counter).

But code is both a mechanical implementation and an abstract, often mathematical, concept. In the concept space, jump is as abstract as call, variable assignment, operator evaluation, etc. A Von Neumann machine is but one way to implement an abstract mathematical / conceptual machine.

In the mathematical space, there's no "high level" vs. "low level," there's just "features a language has" vs. "features it does not." There are other abstractions that are actually harder / impossible to do correctly with jump in the language (stack unwinding comes to mind, which is why C++ solves the exceptions vs. setjmp / longjmp dichotomy by... Not solving it, and a program that uses both will just do something undefined. C++ without setjmp / longjmp would be a language with fewer undefined behaviors).

No problem - the post you were replying to also left out some information, though- almost all hericium liquid culture mycelium also fail to produce the compound in question. It can be produced with certain specific liquid cultures, but for the home grower the highest erinacine A yields can be achieved by growing on small-ground corn kernel ( <2 mm ).

you could be forgiven for thinking consumption of the fruiting body is what provides benefits - almost all lions mane 'supplement' companies are selling dried, ground fruit bodies because that also 'supplements' their income stream - sell the fruiting bodies for a premium, grind up the trim pieces and leftovers for a secondary income stream. They fail to mention that the product they are selling is essentially worthless, outside of what could be better achieved by eating fruiting bodies anyhow.

There are a few reputable companies out there that validate the amount of erinacine A in a typical batch, those are the ones you want to buy from.
Yes. Or rather, it's a color palette mapping whatever range of the EM spectrum the image is gathered with to something we humans can see.

And yes, sometimes the mapping is done to make things look nice.
I shouldn't have said dead end, its been a great camera but the truth is I bought the Panasonic 18-35 zoom which has gone a bit soft I must have damaged it. I have a few nice primes but figure its a good time to change platforms.

My usage has changed. 10 years ago I was happy with the e-m5 as it was lightweight. Now my phone is great lightweight camera, I need something once a month for special shots, so might as well get something bigger.

I think my main point is that once a camera company starts losing market share its very difficult to attract new users.

The language you write an UI in, isn't directly connected to how it feels. There are plenty of old feeling web, native and mobile apps out there.

Some years ago I wrote a desktop app in JavaFX. This is a Java UI toolkit (though I wrote in Kotlin), but, you can style it with CSS. It was a piece of cake to give it a GitHub-ish feel. The result felt a lot like a web app, just without the browser chrome. The app in question was a peer to peer app that benefited from some libraries written in Java, so it was a good fit for what the app needed to do.

At the moment it's a bit painful to do this sort of thing because of a lack of good distribution tools. But, that's about to change ...
You can think of it as a potential replacement for Nuxt.js, Next.js, SvelteKit, Remix etc, if you're running a live Node server and prefer structuring your app as a Fastify application first.
