Except, it is not.

The spacecraft would be taking one pixel, then awhile later another pixel, then another. It could get all kinds of dimensional details at each pixel, with full spectra, polarization, what have you, but just one at a time, unlike your scanner bed, which collects many thousands simultaneously, with as many separate optical sensor elements.

After it has collected the whole series, that would be the one, thin row of pixels sent home.

The next spacecraft over could collect another line and send that, watching a different bit of planet surface. Two thin line samples would not be very informative, but hundreds could be.

It is actually, potentially, a bit better: the planet would be rotating while the spacecraft moves between pixel points, and the spacecraft could continue sampling the entire time, getting at a series of adjacent bits of the planet, until the planet rotates to where the first was sampled, and you can sample the next spot over, looking from an infinitesimally different angle. So, possibly, it is scanning a line across the planet's surface, and then later another line nearby. But each line would cover almost the same line as last time.

Of course what it really would do is just watch the planet continuously for years, and send literally everything back, where the planet's presumed rotation could be puzzled out, and then everything could be stitched together afterward. Data from a single probe might suffice to yield an image.

In effect, the spacecraft moving is sweeping across one axis very, very slowly, and the planet's rotation is sweeping on another, albeit probably not one at 90 degrees, but at some angle to the first. (It would be very unlucky for the two to align, but wholly possible.)

Since all this would happen over days and years, the image would end up with an average of that many years' weather, so nothing like a snapshot. But if cloud cover ever breaks, any continents shores would anyway be sharp.
My 2009 Asus 1215B is still going quite alright, I needed to upgrade it to 8GB and replaced the HDD with a SDD, and in what concerns its use as travel netbook, it still manages to do its job.

Just don't ask him to do Rust compilations, or new GCC releases, unless plugged into mains.

However when it dies, I will most likely replace it for a 2-1 laptop, or a plain Air.
Very much this - I don't have much experience with providers in this space but Digital Ocean has taken maybe a decade to build and offer a small number of services.

That said, there is a lot of AWS that I probably wouldn't know existed - I know in my day job I make big use of maybe five services, plus maybe another 10 glue services between them (CloudWatch, IAM, VPC etc).
Thank you. The more OLAP support the better (at least for us).
Hey, there's a lot of highly-rated negative feedback here. For what it's worth, I _love_ the idea, it's exactly what I want, I'd pay a bunch for it. I really hope y'all keep at it and are able to take constructive pointers out of some of the harsher feedback, because if you _do_ nail this, it'll be incredible.

I’m not sure that there are economies of scale, except perhaps in special situations.

Someone has to chop all the vegetables, slice all the fruit, bake all the desserts, fold all the napkins, mop the floors, clean the restrooms, etc, etc. The staff often begin work hours before opening, and leave hours after closing. Those costs don’t go down if you have more customers, they go up.

Batch cooking only works in some cases: you can bake a whole cake and then sell it by the slice, so there is an economy of scale there. Do the same thing with spaghetti noddles, on the other hand, and half your customers will get overcooked noodles. I suppose buffet–style restaurants benefit more from economies of scale, since they can cook a whole tray of something and take it out to the buffet all at once. Or cook a whole roast or ham and then carve some off for each customer. But then I suppose you have to pay someone to stand there and carve, so perhaps not.

Thanks, now I’m hungry, and there’s not a Luby’s within a thousand miles of here.

In the past week I’ve noticed a lot of coverage of the Nothing Phone. People seemed really hyped about it, and I can’t figure out why. It’s just a phone with a light on the back.

It’s much the same with this phone. It’s a default phone with a small gimmick.

At least the iPhone ship with new versions of iOS when they upgrade the hardware.

Honestly as long as manufacturer just ships Android as the OS, new phone just aren’t news worthy.

If you're interested in an open source alternative to Retool, checkout Budibase.

On top of a drag and drop visual builder, Budibase comes with an automation platform (like zapier) , internal db, and a lot more flexibility when it comes to design.

We launched our cloud product 7/8 months ago and we just hit the 40,000 companies using Budibase.

Budibase is open source and you can run it on Docker, K8s, Digital Ocean, Raspberry Pi, ARM, and more.

If you are interested, check it out:

https://github.com/Budibase/budibase

Even American apps (Facebook/Instagram/Twitter) have performed no better in this regard. Maybe the reason is the underlying demand for such content rather than any malicious intent.
I guess that makes sense - are there any programming languages that use a fixed endianness?
Can somebody explain why this is the case? A 50FPS signal (max 25Hz) sampled at 60Hz should not produce any errors.

I can only imagine errors to show up by "doing it wrong", that is, aliasing artifacts due to not lowpass filtering the signal beforehand.

That said, I'm not totally sure that a 50FPS signal is acutally capped to 25Hz since a 50FPS GIF is usually not interpreted as a signal sampled at 50Hz but as a piecewise-constant signal with 50 "steps" per second. So the first question is whether these "jumpiness" is an inherent, desired property of GIFs or an artifact of bad renderers. Can somebody clarify this?
It could be coming from across the border or it could come from here in the US somewhere.

Abbott, our worthless governor who signs bills with a sharpie like the previous president, lays the blame on smugglers bringing it over the border due to Biden's lax immigration policies. This totally ignores the fact that the problem began years before during the previous presidency when fentanyl started showing up in Texas and has been worsening since. As the article states, Texas has no effective way to deal with a problem like this. There are no simple treatment options, testing options, and local coroners don't even have training to help them identify the reason behind a person's death. It is a lot like Covid, if you tested then case numbers would likely increase so they just don't bother to test and that keeps numbers lower than reality.
I was curious so I compared the list of element tags between HTML 4.0 and XHTML 2.0, excluding the XForms module. Excluding XForms tags from XHTML 2.0, the former has 91 tags, reduced to 67 in the latter.

XHTML 2.0 removed 42 tags: acronym, applet, area, b, base, basefont, bdo, big, button, center, dir, fieldset, font, form, frame, frameset, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, iframe, input, isindex, label, legend, map, menu, noframes, noscript, optgroup, option, s, select, small, strike, textarea, tt, u.

XHTML 2.0 added 18 tags: access, action, addEventListener, blockcode, di, dispatchEvent, heading, l, legacyheadings, listener, preventDefault, removeEventListener, ruby, section, separator, standby, stopPropagation, summary,

AFAICT, XHTML 2.0 reorganized tags into modules, yes, but didn't actually try to expand the set of semantic tags, except for XForms--the XForms module looks really complex. And those module groupings were more concerned with functionality, not content semantics, per se.

FWIW, here are the XForms 2.0 tags: action, delete, dispatch, group, input, insert, load, message, model, output, range, rebuild, recalculate, refresh, repeat, reset, revalidate, secret, select1, select, send, setfocus, setindex, setvalue, submit, switch, textarea, trigger, upload

By contrast, HTML5 looks to have added more semantic tags, and more incoherently. HTML5 has 111 elements (excluding math and svg).

HTML5 removed 14 tags: acronym, applet, basefont, big, center, dir, font, frame, frameset, isindex, noframes, param, strike, tt

HTML5 added 34 tags: article, aside, audio, bdi, canvas, data, datalist, details, dialog, embed, figcaption, figure, footer, header, hgroup, main, mark, meter, nav, output, picture, progress, rp, rt, ruby, section, slot, source, summary, template, time, track, video, wbr

I went with my wife to eat today and it was $50. Not even worth it, especially considering we both had to walk around with our toddler half the time, so we might as well have been eating on the couch at home.
Every new technology with mass adoption reshapes our reality. Otherwise, what would be the point? Whether that's good or bad depends on what you do with it.

From this article[0] it seems the claims about attention span come from an unreliable source.

Given ‘kids these days’ have been cited as being disrespectful to their elders for thousands of years[1], I wouldn’t be surprised if the attention span is actually different between today’s Zoomers and a teenage boomer/millennial/X.

Marx suggests the ten pillars of communism are thus:

1. “Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.”
2. “A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.”
3. “Abolition of all rights of inheritance.”
4. “Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.”
5. “Centralisation of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.”
6. “Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.”
7. “Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.”
8. “Equal liability of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.”
9. “Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country.”
10. “Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labour in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production ... .”

Based on this, I'd say that no, government investment in private enterprise by means of subsidy is not communism.

First time I see it. Had it been used in a HN comment, I would have ranted about people inventing acronyms on the spot and expecting everybody to know them. I live in England and I've never seen it before.

English is the lingua franca of the Internet, but this example shows that some acronyms are not as global as people might think. I guess BOGO (buy one get one) might be commonplace if you shop in an American store, but anybody else that doesn't live there might not have had exposure to it before, and get quite annoyed. Same with stuff like GOP (Grand Old Party) or even DUI (Driving Under the Influence). Americans on the Internet just love to drop their three-letter acronyms on an international forum.

Acronyms are context and location sensitive. One should refrain to use them on the Internet unless you can expect anyone who's reading you to know then (i.e. FBI, WHO, UN)

I think that’s a good thing to consider when making a purchase, but it’s also very one-dimensional.

To me 1000$ for a phone is a lot because it’s only marginally better than a 500$ phone.

Also phones are big liability. Odds are a good mattress or chair will last ages. A phone lasts 2 to 3 years generally.
Each video is node. Figure out where to add edges to existing content, graph theory some shit and tune for similar content maximizing viewing time of short video clips. No ML necessary. Of course, given the magic ML sometimes seems to be, they could certainly be using it but the inputs and outputs are remarkably simple if you get the data structures right. To be clear, I'm not saying it's easy, just that ML's not necessary.

No? I'm clearly the prime demographic for this app because your comment makes no sense to me. Most recipe videos skip the tedious (but important) bits, and many ALSO don't give notes about needed techniques. I often find that 1 recipe video results in me watching at least 5 other videos to clarify things that were left out, usually in pairs so I can compare/contrast the info provided. Because, again, I'm new to this whole thing and I can't tell which advice is good/relevant/etc

Just to clarify, I'm not defending their app, I'm defending the problem statement.

Tiktok is a far superior social network compared to Facebook and the others. Good that it is taking over the US.
one of the things that people not used to a11y get confused by is that since div and span elements carry no information you can't add aria-labels to them (or shouldn't be able to, some readers may be non-compliant on this matter) without an explicit role. However you wouldn't be able to add them to any random element either.

Of course divs and spans do get the benefit that they are read as separate elements by screen readers, however this can also be a curse https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60869293/accessibility-r...

Don't know how it would behave with a bunch of readable-segment elements or what have you, as I haven't tested.

TikTok doesn't just show inane dance videos in America. It shows them throughout the world. If China had some evil plan to poison the minds of youth they are not just targeting American kids.

In reality, Hanlon's razor applies. It's better explained by apathy rather than an evil masterplan. China simply doesn't care about non-Chinese kids, they consider that the American government is responsible for American kids' welfare.

The "reason" could have just been insufficient future-proofing. Can you guess where the number part of GIF89a comes from? A time when the idea of a network-transmittable file with 60fps of animation was not an immediate practicality, that's for sure.

That this ancient format is still as prevalent as it is on the modern web is somewhat dumbfounding and probably unintended by its original creators.

I lived through this era as a student on a relatively tight budget, and must have been one of the few people who was never tempted to get a netbook instead of putting Linux on my regular 15" laptop.

EeePCs are still useful machines today. Need something that spits or receives packets for network testing? Grab a used one with decent battery life and you're done. Want to listen to online radio in the lab but don't want to use your phone? Again, get a used EeePC for peanuts and connect it to a pair of speakers. And what about a small IoT controller to be put in each room? Pair it with a networked VoIP terminal and voila, instant communications too. They're small, their power supply is small, the audio i/o capabilities are more than enough for some uses (1) and they have a physical Ethernet port which makes them perfect for network testing and other uses (web server testing, emergency on-the-fly file serving, etc).

(1) Before I bought a Zoom recorder, I used my Samsung NC10 to record my former band using Audacity. I had to build an external stereo mic preamp because I wanted to use two dynamic mics to keep noise low as the internal mic and circuitry weren't built with the sound pressure of a rehearsal room in mind, and the input expected a higher level than a dynamic capsule could produce. I later built a stereo mic using two Panasonic WM61a electret capsules so I could get rid of the preamp; today I would use a pair of AOM-5024L-HD-F-R capsules, which are super cheap and super silent.
