I think there is definitely some interest in building 'data apps' where you send data file to client/browser and user slices and dices as they please instead of a set of predetermined queries/analytics. I heard of companies like 'motherduck' exploring this space.
EN: '[...] some things to put together. You see that if we look at the mean or the median, the mean is when a distribution is like this [indicates a bell curve with his hands], we can calculate a mean, but when it's like this [wiggles his finger], you can't calculate a mean, you do the, the, the bar which separates them in half. And so [...]'

FR: '[...] d'objets de mettre ensemble. Vous voyez que si on regarde la moyenne ou la médiane, la moyenne c'est quand une distribution est comme ça, on peut faire une moyenne, quand elle est comme ça on n'a pas [...] pour faire une moyenne, on fait, le, le, le, la barre qui sépare à moitié les uns les autres. Et donc [...]'

There's a short phrase I can't quite catch at about 9s... which literally translates as 'we don't have [...] to do a mean', so I'm inferring that he means 'you can't calculate a mean' from context (previous clause 'on peut faire une moyenne' => 'we can do a mean' => 'we can calculate a mean').
If you require client certificates then you don't need to worry about non-insider attacks on anything other than your TLS library and your client cert bootstrap procedure.
> Rust does not encode the difference between "is true" and "was, at least briefly, true" in the type system.

Couldn't it encode that by taking advantage of the fact that nobody else can change a variable while you have it mutably borrowed?
This has worked really well for us. My kids are 11 and 9 and we started with Gizmo watches a couple of years ago, and got them Apple Watches this year (one hand-me-down, one SE). Their friends are starting to get phones, and we're a hard no on phones for kids, but this way they can keep in touch with us and their friends without a phone.

The effect on independence has been interesting. They seem to feel more reassured about venturing farther afield, so they've been riding bikes to shops and restaurants and their friends' houses much more frequently than they did before. (Of course, before they were also younger and there was more covid, but their calls to check in tell me that they like being able to ask a question or keep us up to date on their plans.)

As for durability, I got some chunky hard cases for the watches and there have been no issues. You can also get the "solo loop" band, so they don't have to deal with clasps, and the watches never fall off.
Two monitors 3840x2160 at 30bpp (10bit HDR) at 120Hz is about 33Gbps so that can fit in 40Gbps USB4 supports. With Display Stream Compression 8k60 is probably doable.
No surprise. More mass and higher price tags.

It's slightly surprising about the increase in accidents since EVs tend to be loaded with tech, including sophisticated traction and stability management. The throttles are all driven by software, so it shouldn't be too difficult to modify behavior for future production (or OTA updates).

Edit: why disagree?
I love gnome. I don't understand why people prefer the win95 environment over everything but every desktop experience basically felt the same since then. Even Mac didn't feel intuitive at all to me.

Gnome however (I mean gnome, not whatever Ubuntu ships) removed all the unecessary things and made sure that whatever I need it's just a tab away. Nothing is intrusive or annoying, it's so out of your way that everything else I've tried the past years feels 'in your face' and constant diversion.
Actually it’s just a normal day at Google
> Working in a company like that isn't inspiring - you do what's needed, but it's hard to see yourself as making the world a better place.

There are enough companies that have a potential to make the world a better place. Problem: these jobs typically don't pay well. Be honest: it is simply much more comfortable to earn more money and work minimally (quiet quitting) so that the work makes you less exhausted. This way, you can even find a justification for your behavior by claiming that your company does not make the world a better place.
> it depends on what the Java client uses for drawing

AFAIK, the Java client uses LWJGL, which is a native library.
Knut from Sanity.io here. First of all, congrats on the launch and what seems to be a well done product!

And to be a bit nit-picky and to clarify our world-view: The API side of Sanity isn't 3rd-party (it's native to the platform), but it is hosted and propertary.

There are always trade-offs, so no, you don't get the kind of control you get when you host your own Express-server or sit on your own MongoDB instance, but then again, you don't have to do those things to have a scalable real-time document store that supports deeply nested document structures with queryable references (with referential integrity). We build our APIs specifically to improve developer experience where we take care of the hard parts™ so that you can focus on the productive things. All of our HTTP APIs are versioned, because we specifically want to avoid breaking changes as much as possible.

Furthermore, there are other things that you just get. Like GROQ which is way more expressive and flexible for querying data compared to GraphQL (which we also offer). You get on-demand image transforms. You get both content and assets behind a CDN. You have a mutation/patch API that can do transactions with pretty specific operations (“change only this value in an nested array for this key if it matches this value”). Since the backand has full attributed revision history, you can also have controls that prevents race conditions, so that you can programatically update documents even if people are editing them. You can define triggers for webhooks and its payload with GROQ, so you can use serverless functions (or a server) to update content based on conditions. You can hit the export API endpoint and get all of your stuff over a stream wherever you want it. And so on and so forth.

Of course, there are always use cases where you want a solution that can be run fully on-prem or specific bespoke behavior in the database/API-layer beyond the capabilities in the platform. If you need those things, then you should probably look elsewhere than Sanity.io, and Payload might be an excellent choice.
This has already been done at scale in Europe.

Strong communities + mesh is a vision for a bright future. The former has become a difficult hill to climb, though.
I think I have a decent understanding of the bandwith provided by various TB/USB standards, but this article was all over the place and actually made me doubt the information I've researched in the past for my home desk setup.

And this article somehow misses the most interesting aspect of the USB 4.0 Version 2 announcement: retroactive bandwidth upgrades to existing cables. (https://www.theverge.com/2022/9/1/23332838/usb-4-version-2-8...)

That might just be a misunderstanding as well, though. I get the impression that the USB folks aren't very discerning about their terminology in press releases. They could really use an editor to avoid this kind of confusion.
> I don't really care if you're green or blue in my text window, and I don't think many people really do.

There are a lot of people who do care, especially in group chats. There's an experience downgrade when an Android user is added to a group chat.
I read this as:

Most patients don’t survive those 10 years anyways.
Thank you, I had the same fuzzy thought in the back of my mind while reading this but couldn’t quite put it into words. The idea of depending on developers to understand “usFoo” means this is an unsafe string and “sFoo” means this is a safe string seems error prone. Those rely on the developer knowing what “us” and “s” represent.

A much better idea would be to give that information to the compiler, so the developer can get a useful error if they try to do something unsafe. We should try to turn these onto compiler errors as much as possible so if a developer does something bad, it wont even compile. This seems like a much more fool proof way to accomplish what the author is trying to do.
And if you take a longer weekend trip you'll need the whole next week to catch-up on charging. 11kW seems like necessity - it allows you to charge 0-100% overnight. No advance planning, no compromises required.

Also, I'm curious: in my country it is pretty common to have 11.5 kWh installation at home (it was even before advent of electric cars), is the US somehow limited in that regard?
Collaboration is NOT just Slack
I agree with the observation on more general cultural puritanism and lack of options for males - as pointed out elsewhere in these comments - which means meetups are better choices for improving social networks.

That doesn't excuse idiocy and horndoggery but social networking (and by extension improving dating chances) is a perfectly valid and ethical path to take beyond the advertised scope of the group.
Stupid title aside, air pollution is one of the most important issues humanity has faced ever, even ignoring climate change, and it's a terrible oversight that we've focused so little effort on it. One would think after lead that there would be robust infrastructure to manage these things, not one small startup with little traction.
There’s not a single cardiac surgeon in the world who thinks he’s gonna get rich with once-every-10-years follow up appointments. We produce enough new patients to keep them all sufficiently busy.
Isn't a risk with using something like YouTube Vanced that Google could determine you're using it and ban your Google account. That could be somewhat mitigated by not signing in to YouTube when using YouTube Vanced, but google could easily determine your IP and compare that to the IP you're using with other Google services and ban your account. And considering how much people rely on Google services, it's a big risk. Or am I overstating the risk?

Abominable seems like a strong word for a couple of automated emails. I'd hate for you to see what email marketing software looks like...
I also have a 9 year old w/ ADHD and tried this with the reminders and he just turns them off lol.

It's been great for other things though. Facilitating social connections w/ friends (the cellular watch gets its own number) and the walkie talkie feature is awesome for when he needs to quickly check in for an opinion or if I need for him to come home and don't want to stand on my back porch and yell generally into the neighborhood like a maniac. There even was a mildly scary time this summer where his summer camp called us and said they wanted to confirm we got him early (we hadn't). We were able to shoot them a screenshot of his location data and politely ask them to get it together and they found him swinging on a tire swing at the edge of the camp.

Oh, I see, WASAPI as Audacity's input not output. Setting up a virtual microphone with something like VoiceMeeter might do it, since the browser would just see it as a microphone.
And Republicans have proved they won't vote to convict an impeached Trump.
We gave one to our 10 year old and earlier to our son when he was 12. It’s great for giving them the freedom to go to friends houses or do an activity for school, but also to find them if they’re running late or they weren’t where they were supposed to be. It’s helped end the stupidity of the play date and let the kids be kids.
I saw a video about a recent advancement in nuclear diamond batteries. Basically look like normal AA batteries but used depleted uranium and lab diamonds to make them save and long lasting
It's a pretty compelling, trippy effect even if we don't have good ways to work around it yet.

Glad I'm not the only cynical one ;)
I've actually thought that some of the recent legislation, specifically the metadata retention and anti-encryption, has been the five-eyes using Australia's democratic populace of "bloody-minded sheep" as a testing ground and/or precedent for implementing the same privacy invasive legislation in the other countries that may be less 'compliant' without said precedent.
I accidentally read "pronouns" and I expected the usual woke shit. I'm delighted that this article is not about that.
Could I use it to power my iPhone? Frankly I’m fed up with the need for charging.
RTGs can’t do that. Compact nuclear reactors, however, can.

The problem is that a nuclear reactor is a dynamic system, with some moving parts. It requires thermal management. It requires dynamic control. It is really hard to design a fully self-contained nuclear power system which wouldn’t require any human intervention to operate.

And even if we could, there is also a problem of waste management. Nuclear waste is not too dangerous, if you don’t touch it. It is, however, quite dangerous, if you grind it into fine particles and spray a large city with it by a crop duster. Our world is crazy. There are people like that out there, who might be interested in it. It is relatively hard to obtain hot nuclear waste from centralized large power plants. It will be really easy in the case of small building-scale reactors.
I think you meant this thread[1].

The larger problem (as I see it) is that the general sentiment is that Apple is too big to fail. The engineers on Hacker News all take their marketing at face-value, and then come out en-masse whenever Apple is being investigated for something or accused of wrongdoing. Regardless of who you think is right or wrong in this scenario, it's impossible to deny that it has ruined any genuine discussion about the benevolence of the App Store. No matter who you are in the tech world, you simply cannot deny that Apple invests insane amounts of money maintaining their Reality Distortion Field. Making you think they're an extrajudicial entity is what they want, they need your whole-hearted trust so they can use your whole-hearted anger.

Without trying to sound too fatalist here, trusting any company is your first mistake. I feel like today's Apple users are the Microsoft pundits of the 90s, happily thumping their respective bible until antitrust regulation inevitably rains on their parade, or they all find out that $COMPANY has somehow been doing super bad things all along!

Bitten once, twice shy as they say.
I am no specialist, just someone who avoided plenty of brands. My theorie is that they lock down some stock apps so it doesn't look so fishy when Facebook and co is locked too to get good ad deals.

Every phone I owned in the last 10 years allowed full control about apps without root. That's a nexus, a cheap Oppo and now a Xiaomi.

Edit:// I thought you need an account to activate the iphone? Not sure if I am totally wrong
Likely so.
I didn't even think of that as a possibility, but it's a good suggestion and something that's within the realm of feasible (though far from trivial) for us. Thank you.
Why Refactoring Code Before Submission Can Make You a Better Developer
Email was 30 years old at that point and was relatively widely used in schools and the workplace so I disagree. Every kid I knew had a Hotmail account and spent hours on MSN Messenger every day.

But my point is more that for a long long time kids have been able to learn independence from family daily at school, in a very safe environment. There’s a lot to lose by availing them of the crutch of constant communication with and tracking by their family.
It increases the autonomy. They get to go out and make decisions. And if I need to track them down because they are late for dinner it’s easy. We don’t use it for any draconian purposes.
Apple has features in the watch that are intended to be a communication device for people who don't have phones.

https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2020/09/apple-extends-the-app...

Things like:

> Family Setup brings a new mode called Schooltime, which will help ensure kids stay focused and attentive while learning at home or in the classroom. During Schooltime, a distinctive yellow circle is displayed on the watch face for teachers and parents to easily recognize, signifying that access to apps is restricted and Do Not Disturb is turned on.

and

> With Family Setup, family members without iPhone can take advantage of the many features and apps on Apple Watch, from making and receiving phone and FaceTime audio calls, to sending and receiving messages and emails, and even connecting with other Apple Watch wearers over Walkie-Talkie. The new Memoji app on Apple Watch allows users to customize a Memoji that can be shared while messaging friends or displayed as a watch face. Parents have the ability to approve all contacts, so kids can safely use the communication features of Apple Watch.

and

> A family member’s location can be shared with their guardian through the Find People app on Apple Watch, and location notifications are more customizable, allowing the guardian to receive an update on their family member’s location for one occasion, or on a recurring or time-based schedule.
It may not be a particularly good lever, but it's the one we have. Police departments will ignore all oversight, but they still can't spend money that doesn't exist. They will absolutely spend their crumbs on the most aggressive and vengeful policing strategies and tech they can find, and that will be an improvement over where we are today, where they spend a vast majority of their budget on that anyway.
>I was able to use the non-pro pinephone as a daily driver for a bit, and it worked, but not well

which distro were you running on the pinephone? If you haven't tried out PureOS yet, I'd recommend giving it a shot. The Phosh UI has improved a lot, firefox is now installed by default and scales well, and a lot of usability issues have been fixed. For some workloads, its actually works pretty well as a daily driver.

No, it's not. California, like most states in the US, is an "at-will employment" state, which basically means they can fire you for just about anything. They don't even need a reason.
I think there were some problems with wxWidgets and generally people moved to Qt, if they were still making cross-platform desktop apps, and if they haven’t migrated to Electron.
Thanks for the info! Seems like it's worth trying to compile the Java client with GraalVM Native Image then, given that this exists:
https://github.com/chirontt/lwjgl3-helloworld-native
Based on the context, I have a strong feeling that we are not getting the full version of the story here.
I think it's actually the opposite. shrink the img and give it a white border, then re-imagine. Stitching together and playing the opposite way to give the zoom effect.
shrink to keep same px dimensions or just enlarge canvas and place img in center.

If you could figure out the distribution of universes, somehow, and figure out the distribution intelligences across them to a high enough fidelity to predict their actions (for example, by crunching numbers with a star-sized-computer, predicting what modal source code of some universe-spanning AI in a parallel universe looks like, and running it), you could in principle bargain in a cross-universe manner that leads to both parties/universes gaining value. Say you highly value diamond, and want to turn all matter in your lightcone to diamond; you've got 99% of it, but the last 1% is extremely expensive. Your counterparty values happy sentient life, and has dismantled 99% of the stars in their light-cone to make very long-lasting artificial habitable worlds, but the last 1% is the hardest to use- but would be easier to turn into diamonds than your last 1% of usable matter, and your last 1% of usable matter is easier to turn into living things than diamond. If you could somehow both predict with high confidence that a universe containing your counterparty exists, you could both gain value by using that last 1% to help the other, in a prisoner's dilemna sort-of-way.

(One possible avenue against defection is that if I can simulate you well enough, I know by definition whether you'll defect or not.)

This whole process is called 'timeless acausal trade', and it's pretty interesting.
Independent of the FSF's contributions to FOSS, I don't think this is a good direct substitution: I can't think of the last time the FSF was a significant party to a privacy or law enforcement lawsuit.

> OP’s assertion is unnecessary.

That could be said about any opinion shared. Regardless of your opinion of my assertions, energy source and costs are a necessary factor in the economics of operating BEVs. If you can't source cost effective solar energy, it may not make economic sense (long term, as costs rise) to own a BEV for renters. Per mandates/subsidy, the subsidy already exists (may need adjustments), a mandate may be necessary.
In the beginning, there was Lite.

But the Lite was concentrated and there was darkness everywhere else, so God said, let us set the Lite free so that it might roam the universe. And so, the Lite became Standard.

God felt good, because now he could see what he was doing. With all the Lite everywhere, he quickly saw that he was alone and that made him very very sad.

So God ruminated for millions and millions and trillions of years how to solve his loneliness. Then, one day (Lite came in cycles), a lightbulb went off and he realized he need to be Pro life. So he increased the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin and he changed the cosmic speed limit. This allowed him to sow seeds across the vast expanse and with the Lite, there were crops everywhere with life blooming on billions of worlds.

This made him happy.

But over time God realized the meaning of life, and decided to retreat. No more upgrades to the universe, no presence. Except for the ads.
The poor use of screen real estate doesn't do it for me: there's a large top panel displaying some system icons but a lot of empty space. On the large bottom panel you can at least select your active window like in the Windows 95 days. So that isn't so bad. You also can't drag these bars around the screen and I don't see any easy way to customize it.

It's like the message is: you're mostly using the terminal anyway and who cares, it's running in a vm. But your customer isn't going to complain and we're the defacto standard so leave us alone, you're welcome.
This is a very optimistic article.
I don't know the specifics of the case but it is often a lot easier to "manage them out" than to fire them. Often this means putting them on a performance improvement plan that you are pretty sure they won't satisfy but effectively tells them to start looking for another job.
