"With a 50 FPS GIF played back on a 60 FPS screen, some frames get shown twice"

Frames shown twice is an aliasing artifact that happens without a lowpass filter. It's exactly the same as spatial aliasing when you show a 50px image on a 60px area, "some pixels get drawn twice". Anti-aliasing gets rid of that.

"Do you have a plan to transform a video into frequencies and back so you can do a lowpass filter?"

Well, I (somewhat naively) assumed that this works the same as converting a still image into frequencies: Fourier transform. Only for an animated image the signal is 3d, not 2d.

edit: Filters normally don't do a FT explicitly. You use FT for the theory, but filters operate directly on the signal.

"Like the sibling comment, I wasn't sure what you mean when you write "50 FPS (max 25Hz)". "Hz" is literally "per second"; "50 frames per second" is "50 frame-Hz". Because we're talking about frame-oriented video, the "frame" is implied; FPS and Hz are equivalent units."

I was very sloppy with this. by 50 FPS (max 25 Hz) I mean that 50 FPS is equivalent to a sample rate of 50 Hz, which can only capture signals of less than 25 Hz. FPS and Hz are only equivalent when they refer to sample rate because FPS can't really refer to anything else.

> I'm thinking that the confusion is that you're thinking of this as audio or other wave-based signals

Doesn't most lossy image compression make the same assumption, e.g. JPEG?

> but computer monitors don't because this necessarily introduces a delay of at least one frame

I agree with this one, at least AFAIK you can't really lowpass-filter a realtime signal without adding delay.
But do you want to be spending so much time on your phone?

To me, buying an expensive phone is somewhat like buying an expensive tobacco pipe. It will just encourage you to use it more. When in fact, most of the 'use' is worse than useless.

$180 is about how much a phone should cost, and even that is too much what with forced (completely unjustified) obsolescence. $450 for a 'budget' phone is madness. $1000+ for a flagship is insanity. Unless you have a specific, legitimate need for it - most people don't.
The point of the article is that even if we go by your interpretation where "a DevOps engineer that really is just an operations engineer", then we can completely retire the term, since it's not really special and we can just keep using "Operations". The difference between Ops and DevOps isn't just in how the team is organised, but rather what the job itself consists of.

Moreover, in a lot of places there are "DevOps" teams that consist only of Operations people, which is even worse. The usage of DevOps is to attract candidates, not to differentiate the skillset needed.

Data-driven progress is largely for optimizing choices, not discovering them. Being data-driven can be just as dangerous intentionally ignoring data. Companies “win” by focusing on what matters, with the right people, at the right time.

Is this just for city in world; do people = lookupNotableOnWikipediaForCity(city); for person in people; do rank = rankPeople(person); storeRank(rank, person, city); done; done

With some obvious logic behind the ranking algorithm?
Weird how something like that could be an issue, but really shows how globally things are tied.
I think charging for end users does make sense too in the context of building internal tools, it just means that other use cases (e.g. building public apps) is not possible.

Love retool! This new 5-seat plan will mean we can get started with Retool internally properly now on a trial basis, and hopefully upgrade in the future when we decide to roll it out!

(Although there do seem to be some bugs with the new plan - it keeps repeatedly telling me that i'm not licenced to edit things and that my trial is over so I can't quite start using it yet).

Also I can't use it for my personal projects as the commercial model doesn't quite work, so I use AppSmith for that.
The people in the past who broke from mainstream culture and went experimental faced disapproval too.

Note: The following are the opinions of a random internet stranger and should be taken in that light. Also, whenever and where-ever possible I try to be more positive than negative in the spirit of HN submissions and comments.

With that out the way - 1st impressions - Yuck! I had to hit page down 14 times to reach the footer of the landing page. Waaaay too many imo. First impression on Lede/Header/Hook - Remove the 'cutesy' emojis/icons. The 'Join Wait-list' button is too prominent and should (imo) be in green and placed in upper right hand side of page.

Second press of 'page down' ... Daaah Fugg???? I had no idea what I was looking at.

Third press of 'page down' ... Great, finally something informative and a CTA. Problem is - that section of the page is in a different style/layout than 1st & 2nd screen.

Fourth press of 'page down' ... a continuation of section above but again, the layout... urgh.

Fifth press of 'Page Down' .... Nice and clean and informative. Shame that it is 5 pages down and I am by now rapidly losing interest in pressing 'page down' to find out more but do so anyway because I'm trying to give you a fair viewing.

Sixth press of page down.... Odg, I'm losing the will to live here.... The spinning logos are giving me flash-backs to the days of the Marque tag and spinner logos.

I made it all the way to the end and it was more of the same.

TLDR; Did not like. The Design is too cluttered and should be broken up in to separate pages, Styling and design is inconsistent. and to answer your last two questions - No and No.

Like I said, personal opinion only and others' might love it. Also – the opinions of a random person are worth exactly a hill of beans and free advice is seldom worth what you paid for it so don’t feel too bad.
This app is using Wikidata and actually you can change it.
It's just a terminal really, still a TUI. I would like Vim to be able to e.g. draw a normal line instead of changing the background of a column of characters, when cc is set. Also not needing to patch fonts to get things like powerline. That and other things of this nature.
Phone manufacturers have tried selling small phones. Sony couldn't make a business of it. Even Apple reportedly can't make it go round.

Yes and no. Whether or not you should use a word depends on whether the word will be understood to mean what you want to convey when you use it. If you mean “agile” in the original way, but people hear “agile” and think you mean the modern so-called “agile” (full of bureaucracy, and many people actually hate it), then communication will fail. Therefore, using the word “agile” will fail to aid in communication, and you should stop using the word for that. If you want to wage a campaign to change people’s understanding of the word, please do, and I wish you luck. But you can’t simply use a word and then pretend that the fact that people misunderstand you is somehow their fault.
Hilariously this site is inaccessible to anyone with slight vision impairment. I have my phone font size enlarged, but the article ignores that setting using tiny unreadable light-grey-on-white text.

We are coy about the parts of human anatomy involved in child creation and care, especially those that change with puberty. People are sexually interested in female breasts from an "ultimate cause" perspective because they feed babies, and grow when a woman is sexually mature. I'm not saying that they should be covered up; but I don't buy the argument that there's no difference between male and female breasts.

X2i is interesting, but may overshoot the mark for the service I’m thinking of, but might be appropriate for another. I may have to try again as to whether I can make the r6i math work.
Good enough that d/gconf seemed to like the idea.
> Honestly this comment was a very long winded way of saying "women aren't oppressed"

Important discussions ought to have more nuance than a assigning a binary value of being oppressed or not. One step towards this direction will have to be to abandon the notion that you can say X is "more oppressed" than Y, especially when talking about different categories, societies and historical periods. There is nothing to be gained from these comparisons, except for infighting and wasting opportunities to improve one's understanding of the issues that are being dealt with.
I really appreciate when people use technical facts to criticize something, like with this. It is a well written take-down of the implementation of the Windows Registry as of both today and 2010.

I suspect if the concept of the registry was created today it would look more like a database (e.g. Sqlite), although organizing it like a virtual FileSystem does have a certain appeal, and unfortunately I don't know of a database engine that supports such a layout. The Registry's Key-Value pairs are 1:1 with a database table's column-values pairs, it is just the multiple tiers of organizing "folders" above that that are a difficult implementation detail.

The UNIX way is undeniably more flexible since it isn't a virtual filesystem, it is just a filesystem. The problem is that everyone invented their own configuration format to store configuration data in /etc and there's no format agnostic API to access that information (you can open it, but can you understand it?).

Both UNIX and Windows suffer from the same orphan issue wherein information can be written, the application removed, and it is unsafe to ever remove it since you may not know the author and or all consumers.
> we are heading towards global recession

Possibly, but I don't think it will last 20 years. Also, a recession could make people from worse affected areas move to those that are less affected.

>completely out of touch with given country and its customs and history

I think that is the main factor that is diminishing. Young people today are better suited to move to another country than 20 years ago, and there is no reason why this development shouldn't continue.

>Wage discrepancies disappearing is another wishful thinking

Disappearing wage discrepancies are a consequence of increased mobility (and, to a certain degree, greater acceptance of remote work, even though there are still lots of hurdles for remote work across countries and even more so across continents).

>More likely will be accelerated brain drain into mega cities who will offer more quality of life

I wouldn't bet on this. The possibility of remote work, more digital entertainment options and autonomous vehicles will make rural or suburban areas more attractive for many people.
1. I can' keep general awareness with dozens of reminders each day, I'm using calendar reminders to my benefit 20+ years, so i don't have to hold these things in my head and worry about forgetting something.

2. You can check/ignore notifications on your own terms.
Dev feedback: It seems the map can get in this weird state where the "focus" is on the horizon rather than the center of the globe, and you can no longer rotate it sensibly. Maybe the rotations get gimbal locked or something? Fixed by refreshing the page. Safari on MacBook Air / trackpad.

I thought I would love Facebook but apparently people don't.

My family do not share more than a few holiday pictures.

No one really shared normal likeable lifevents.

WhatsApp groups are totally fine and even showed me how little I care about constant updates from other life's.

And no people also don't care what I do.

People are busy. Family people think about school issues and handling their daily life and planing a family holiday.i care about science and politics. My mother cares about the next hiking tour.

Google+ circle feature was already the technology highpoint of handling social media and no one really had the motivation to setup their circles or even use Google+.

Even sharing specific things is hard. Over or under sharing: I would have loved to see much more of a friend's house building for example.

While it feels like digital is the future, the people around you are. That's something Facebook and co teached me. It's a bad substitute.
What's wrong with the way it handles long lines? It can either wrap or not wrap depending on your configuration. Personally, I disable wrapping in every editor I use because I find it extremely off putting. I'm curious which behavior you desire and if you have any examples of editors that you think handle long lines well.

For me personally, I feel I DO become more productive when I put the phone on silent and leave it in another room. Generally in a drawer or something. After a few minutes it becomes easier to focus on the task at hand and before I know it I've been producing for an hour and have been in that "flow" state everyone wants to be in. I've been doing this for over a year now and it's like this switch in my brain flips faster and more easily every day.

I have accepted that if I want to veg out and be aimless and distracted (which occasionally is ok) I should have my phone out near me. If I don't, physical distance, the more the better.

I only have WhatsApp notifications enabled and only for specific people. Phone doesn't make noise or vibrate ever, I only see messages when I pick it up.

> I go home and visit my parents and their devices are beeping and buzzing and vibrating every 5 seconds or so.

I know exactly what you mean. I even tried to get them to disable that noise but it turned out they wanted to be notified. I will never understand it.
Strictly speaking, analysis of stock does include the float. If the shares being traded are too thin, many people realize that the numbers are kind of fictitious. In particular if you’re a commercial trader, light trade levels mean you can’t sell a position without affecting the price yourself. And that’s without having Berkshire Hathaway problems, where you have to buy in secret over a long period or people will try to fast follow.

And some people think the stock market is a bit bs, yes. It’s less pyramid than an MLM, but I think we’re about to find out some things when the boomers start running out of money.
Thank you! Yes I tried to shorten the sentence but messed it up in the process :)
This is me all the time. The worst is “kkk”. I can’t remember why I type it in vim (it’s muscle memory, and I’m not at a computer to try it out), but it has really bad connotations here in the US south, so… no bueno.
“Someone tried to kidnap me” – A founder interview about starting over
From a pretty intense interview I did with Andres Aguerrevere of Wegacha. At the time, his company was making $30k/mo.

"Someone tried to kidnap me for a ransom about ten years ago. The police stopped it right in time. About a year after that, six armed men came into my house. They couldn't get to where me and my family were, but they stole a lot. It was terrifying. That's when I decided to leave Venezuela — the government corruption was making people become criminals and it was getting too dangerous. I knew I'd be leaving my business behind, which was hard. I'd built it from scratch with a friend over 10 years. We started out delivering fish from the coast to friends and family, and it grew into a huge store. It was a really difficult decision to leave it. And it was also simple because I wanted my family to be safe. Six months later, we landed in Australia. I had nothing but an idea. I was in a new country. I was a nobody there. I started working as a dishwasher. On the weekends, my wife and I would walk the streets with a backpack full of shoes that we imported, leaving business cards at stores. A year later, we were selling $80k a year. We were very ambitious and we didn't have a choice — we had to be successful. Our revenue tripled the next year. And then that doubled. The business was really doing well but my wife wasn't happy being so far away from her family. When we decided to move to Miami, I tried to automate everything instead of hiring help. That was a huge mistake. It cost me the business. I couldn't handle it all from the other side of the world and I had to sell it. Now, I have a digital marketing agency, using all the experience that I got from my first two businesses. There's a lot of competition and I really struggled at first but it's growing day by day. I'm pretty happy with our new life. It was very hard to leave everything I built and start from scratch in a new market, in a new world — twice. But you have to overcome it. You have to work around the barriers. You have to believe in yourself. And you have to be clear on what you want. If you have a reason to go forward, you'll get there. It's not easy. But it's in your hands."
Being taxed $1.40 a day EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE doesn't sound insignificant.

I have worked for many years with Elasticsearch at scale, good thing I am not working with it anymore. The main issue with Elasticsearch was to upgrade versions and maintain the cluster. The cluster is a live creature that can get mad at your data and start hogging the CPU at any time, not to mention GC stops. We used some geo operations on Elasticsearch and from a minor version to another they broke it. What a hell on earth, I hope OPs alternative will bring some relief for those in pain or avoid the pain for those that will eventually need a FTS engine.
Very cool map!

Huge recency bias though, with Obama and Trump on 1 and 2.

I wonder what the map would look like if you multiplied everyone's score with the number of people born in the same decade, and divided by the total score of people born in the same decade.
I suppose this is actually representing the most famous people in the -western world's lens- rather than the most famous people to each country respectively. For example, Haruki Murakami is a Japanese author, very famous in the west because their books have been translated into English. But would they be the most famous person from Kyoto to people in Japan?

That's something that's always fascinated me about the internet, it's essentially delineated by language and not country. If you google things in Spanish, you get the spanish web. If you google things in Japanese, you get the Japanese web. For a subtle example of this, there's very little crossover between Japanese memes and English memes, it's a whole different web. Japanese web design is also famously different to western web design, it's formed it's own set of UX expectations and principles.
Actually the Registry is not a single file, it is a set of files virtually assembled into a single "object" that has many points in common with both a database and a filesystem.

Personally I see it more like a filesystem, with some striking resemblance to NTFS.
> Maybe a Mastodon-derivative which deemphasizes the feed, but lets you design your personal page more creatively would be a cool thing.

It has been 6 years since Mastodon should have accelerated to be a viable alternative to Twitter and today the only successful Mastodon-derivative that is in operation is Truth Social; a centralized social network and even that has more users than Mastodon itself.

I don't know but that already sounds like a failure, where it has helped the 'undesirables' get their own platform, unfortunately.

But that's free software folks, where anyone can use it.
That's a good point, I make an exception only for calls, and only if they are in my contacts (school etc. are in my contacts), but I leave all other notifications always off on all my devices.

PS at least where I leave (Australia) allowing all calls including numbers not in my contacts, would mean receiving several spam calls every week, so I gave up on that.

> High quality is more expensive upfront but goes relatively cheaper as maintenance and modifications is progressing.

What about the fact that many pieces of software are needed for a particular purpose and will eventually be retired or replaced by a rewrite in whatever tech seems modern at that time?

Or the fact that project based thinking is still pretty popular in certain parts of the world - once you finish writing the piece of software for your clients and they receive the codebase, it's no longer your problem anymore.

The opposite also exists, of course, codebases that have been around for a decade in COBOL or something, are still mission critical, but nobody really knows how they work.

And second system effect is also very much a thing to keep in mind, when thinking about rewrites. Though I also agree with a statement that I once heard: "Don't just write code to be easy to read and change, but also easy to delete and throw away."
