Is general war news appropriate for HN? Articles on drones, sigint, and the new combat tactics dictated by new technology would be relevant. But updates like this are just current events, which can be found on most of the general news sites.
Apologies for lack of a better source. A slide during the live presentation mentioned this. I’d estimate a 10% chance I’m misremembering.
I don’t like the idea of reducing production, emphasizing degrowth and not continuously making technological progress. The right thing to do is continue doing those things while finding solutions for climate change which I think we’re already on a path to doing albeit it may not get there before things start going wrong. But we’ll make it and we have to keep going till we reach a point of technological advancement where we can truly eliminate all our problems— and I mean down to how we feel which will surely be modifiable using genetic engineering in the not too distant future.

> Using any specific CSS - scoped or unscoped - for a particular component is not a good sign. This might not always be avoidable.

I don't generally disagree. Component-level CSS is something I don't do all that often, but when I do, in Vue, I'm glad I can keep it in the same file (generally scoped). For me, it's easier to spot the edge cases (oh, this is modified, and here's where it's being done).

Even at the component level, you can see use system-wide offsets. "give me two times the usual margin to the right" may be a general rule, but for componentX, something needs to be three timex the usual margin, so... you can still reference a system-defined margin variable, but have that 3x override where it's needed.

Again, not something I do often but, imo, the Vue SFC style scoping makes it easier/safer to do when needed.
lovely. agreed -- the loss of personality comes from this insistence on design conformity... details make everything better.

I think the difference is whether the content is truly infinite or not. If there's enough content such that you could spend an unhealthy amount of time scrolling, then you are sacrificing your users well being for engagement. If there's a finite amount of items, the "expand the list as you scroll" approach is pretty reasonable. At that point you can't really call it "infinite scroll" anymore

When you only way have one radio signal from a satellite, it is impossible to tell how the ionosphere has effected the signal.

When you have two, and each a slightly different frequency, you can model signal path changes and apply some corrections for better general accuracy.

Well, while we are on the topic, it could be a PR move leading to a future geopolitical move [1] to justify things like banning bitcoin, encryption, and toilets that flush correctly. It would be impressive technology to do such a thing, but so are the current surveillance and military programs that we know about.

What would today's version of the SR-71 (1950s tech) or F-117 (1970s tech) look like and function like?

It'd seem like a UFO compared to an F-16.

It does jive with history just fine.
> The idea of the US government having that level of technology and keeping it totally hidden doesn’t jive with all the missteps and human level errors we have seen so many politicians and military officials make.

It's not clear what "that level of technology" even is. Mick West's analysis has convinced me that the videos the USN has publicly shown don't show any exotic capabilities.

Inb4 the usual response of "USN pilots are experts they know what they saw"

Experts can be mistaken. Experts can play pranks, participate in hoaxes, official disinformation schemes, etc.
Does anyone have an opinion on ARM Windows? Is it anywhere near the experience of regular x86 Windows? Do things like WSL and most apps work as expected (is the x86 virtualization anywhere near as good as Rosetta).
Out of ignorance I ask:

Why aren’t there LTS versions of iOS?

As a long time iOS user each year brings a bit of change with improvements just barely better than regression. Under the hood, what changes so much as to consider it a major upgrade with breaking changes?

The MS pattern of deep support of legacy API for applications seems too extreme in the other direction. However iOS has long sense reached a point of maturity where annual breakage is also an extreme.
> It does seem like there are a few data fields that aren't indexed that I would like to be but it handles the cases I see in the demo.

For Compute VMs, yes.

Indexing is quite sparse outside of Compute. For example, App Engine is supposed to be an important product but substring searching doesn't work.

> What this is really needed for is AWS because they don't really have a cross-region search.

We're working on it :)

For the AWS case, this might be of interest to you:
https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2022/06/support-c...

They've just begun to do global search for VMs, but obviously that addresses just one need.

Cloud providers have been sitting on this problem for years without taking action, so we're just impatient.

We also do something they don't / won't: cross-cloud search.
I think if we look to aesthetic principles like the "Solarpunk" movement which came out of the dystopian example of "Cyberpunk". We create positive change by reinventing our visions of the future, not by tell people where we are headed. Deep down, we already know where we are headed, we just need to encourage a course correction like the example above.

Can we discuss if it's time to scrap paper-based media first?

Buying a whole newspaper for a subset of interesting articles is so 20th century.

The curated portfolio sale business model (magazines, newspapers, albums, etc.) is far more irritating than wax on a bottle.
Certainly one of the possibilities. It could also be disinfo to send enemy states down a path to nowhere. The UAP phenomenon is not going to boil down to a single thing. There will be a spectrum of explanations, most of which are banal.
Your analogy is way off base.

First: this was all, quite literally, about Apple wanting to NOT have access to your unencrypted photos.

In Apple's proposed plan, we would only be talking about hashes of pictures, and the comparison would be done by your device.

A fitting analogy would be if the "public restroom camera" snapped a Polaroid of you and asked you to compare it to a binder of known child porn, except somehow did this in a way that did not expose you to child porn and would not inconvenience you in any way and was guaranteed not to transmit the Polaroid somewhere else, and you had opted in to the whole process and there was another bathroom right next to it that required no such participation.

It's important to understand that Apple's on-device scanning plan was in the service of allowing E2E encryption.

The idea was to create a path by which they could comply with various current and upcoming CSAM legislation while still maintaining an E2E encryption flow.
Fair point. To be precise, I would use the term intermittent or non-inertial but I didn't want to alienate any readers.

All generation is unstable, just in different ways, so I don't think it is a useful descriptor.
Exploitation is at the heart of Capitalism, so I'd rather say Capitalism has worked exactly ad intended for the past 100 years
As I see it, there are basically two possibilities:

- There is a society of technologically advanced individuals on earth, whether human, alien, or something else.

- Each individual UAP encounter has some mundane explanation, and a large chunk of humanity has projected fantastical ideas onto them, to the point of full-blown hallucinations.

The second is obviously either mostly or entirely true, given the viral nature of the subject matter, the internet and UFO culture. It's unavoidable, really. Occam's Razor suggests that the remainder, if it exists, can be explained by cutting edge, top secret but still entirely human technology.
I think I understand what you’re saying but it was a large spanning tale and though there may be some parts that are cringey I thought overall it kept my interest and had something for everyone.
Ok - maybe in North America. I have never heard of such a thing in Europe. I work with engineers of different disciplines.

Pagination doesn't make things any less linkable than "infinite scrolling with <X> content present," it just makes the limitation more apparent because a page seems like it ought to be linkable.
Indian action films typically don't strive for believable action scenes, like American films do. Instead, they apply the effects and stunts excessively -- they go over the top in a major way.

The embarrassment is for the comparably unsophisticated tastes, and I don't share the feeling but I can understand. It's like everyone discovering that your uncle is addicted to something cheap and insubstantial that only children like, like junk food.
Counter-intelligence operation. It blows my mind that nobody else seems to have noticed the fact that as soon as executive orders were signed, banning military disinformation campaigns aimed at citizens, all the aliens disappeared! And then after Obama got rid of the last of those protections - on his way out the door, supposedly in the interest of combatting Russian disinformation (seriously, that was the excuse), the aliens suddenly reappeared!

I understand the utilitarian logic of it, but it still strikes me as pretty disgusting... there are people who actually believe this crap, and I don't think they're mentally better off for it.

Why would you put APSC lens on FF body (which is bigger) then crop?
Just put on APSC body, which is smaller. Done.
For some, APSC is still big, and they are happy enough with MFT.

Now I wonder, why would people buy FF cameras (especially if they don't shoot 35mm film cameras)? They are still bulky.
Pick APSC or MFT which is smaller. If you want superb image quality without compromise, then skip FF and join the medium format club.

Extra bonus feature? For me it's pretty obvious it's a necessity. Failover need to be in ALL case offline access.

Few of these books are “great works” in their field, but all changed my understanding of their topic.

- How to Read a Book by Adler and Van Doren. I was in academia when I read this and it had a huge impact on how I read and thought about academic papers.

- Intuitive Biostatistics by Motulsky. First stats book that I enjoyed. Emphasises the practice of statistics, particularly the assumptions and mistakes people tend to make.

- World War II Map by Map, published by DK. Had never previously been interested in WW2 history, but something about this took my interest. While reading it, I finally appreciated the scale and complexity of WW2.

- Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess. Working through this one meant I actually started getting better at chess!

- Common Sense Guide to Data Structures and Algorithms by Wengrow. The book that helped me become interested in data structures and algorithms, rather than being something I “should” learn about.
It is not even a 'best' indian movie. It just the current most popular indian movie with western audience.

Tumbbad is somewhat considered masterpiece of indian cinema. It was made with just 700 thousand $
https://m.timesofindia.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews....

>Pretty much every Indian movie I've seen is full of amazing and fun nonsense in one form or another.

They are the most popular genre. Production houses love them as they make them money and viewers also love to watch them as they can be watched by whole families.

>Not that I've seen more than 10 or 15 Indian movies, just curious what the mix is of serious drama vs, break into dance and or show crazy stunt movies is

Most of indian cinema is action genre with slice of life twist. There are also good serious movies with genres like drama, romcom, comedy, horror, history, sci-fi etc.

You must also know that Indian cinema is not a monolith like hollywood. There are 7 big 'woods' in india branched due to various languages. There is hindi wood (bollywood), tamil, telugu, kannad, marathi, bengali etc. Each have their own tasted with respective viewers. Over the counter action movies (like RRR) are most popular in south industries and viewers.
Didn't it take 10-20 years to prove what they were up to in MKUltra? My guess is that most current "unidentified arial phenomena" will lose the "un-" in at most 15 years.

I have a suspicion that your entire comment was intended as some kind of joke, but I'll address your points as if you are being serious.

> Much better than any framework already.

I doubt that. If my first attempt at a dynamic web app in like 10 years is better than the current frameworks than the state of web development must be much worse than I realized.

> Look how slow the text renders when you hit reload.

You're right, there is a noticeable rendering glitch that I hadn't noticed before, thanks. Maybe this is already an early indication of the limitations of the approach I used here, or at least one of the trade-offs.

> The content of the <code id="code-container"></code> is not going to change. Just put it inline:

One of my goals with this demo was to display the exact same code in the blurb on the left as was being run on the right. Another goal was to minimize the amount of change needed to the basic algorithm implementation to update the display. I was able to get it down to one extra line, but maybe there's a way to avoid that entirely.

> All the way at the top a document type would be useful <!DOCTYPE html>

It's there, you must have missed it (in chrome "view page source" colors that line with very low contrast).

Your other comments about inlining go against most advice I've seen on best practices (with which I happen to agree). For one thing it's much nicer to edit files that are written in one language than in 2 or 3.

> I personally consider it a good habit to have the buttons update the location.search part of the url

Interesting, I'll have to give that one some thought.
The main counterpoint I'd try to come back with would be that apps arent special. For almost all apps, the apps highest service is to fade into the background, to become undistinct & not noticed. Cute might possible draw some early smiles for a little, but for anything enduring, cute tends over times towards noise & pointless distracting & unwelcome character.

There were some real losses though. The tension between flat & unobtrusive vs flat and indistinct becomes a usability issue. Clear separation of elements & sufficient contrast can be lost.

In some ways, it should be more a question of what the user wants. Apps used to sometimes have multiple skins, winamp being an over the top notable one, but I believe IM programs like trillian did too. The old gtk2 themes on linux allowed users far more flexibility in picking what kind of an experiemce they wanted, what level of contrast they wanted, what the look & feel.would be like. The alow march towards everyone being beholden to crazy crafty designed UI's we were force fed is, imo, part of what drove the counter-push towards flat; users lost control, it was way too overloading an experience, and flat became the more neutral acceptable dictated/company-driven style.
That sounds like several books worth of writing, so I'll pass, but I'm glad to take a quick swing at the points you mentioned.

There is a real digital public square: the internet. Anybody can publish anything. Anybody, private companies included, can help people publish. But all of those people have freedom of association. Nobody has to use a particular publisher, and none of those publishers have to publish anything they don't want to.

Many popular platforms have started out with a "free speech wing of the free speech party" ethos. I was part of one of those, bianca.com, which won a webby in 1997 and was gone by 2000. The lesson of every one of those, ours included, is that you can't have all the kinds of speech in one place. E.g., Twitter can have black people or people who shout abuse at black people. So the question for any platform is: who are you ok excluding?

This is not a new lesson: https://twitter.com/IamRageSparkle/status/128089253502461952...

I think it only feels new in the digital context because people often start from a assume-spherical-cows perspective. Which can be adequate if you're building an ecommerce system or something. But when building tools to shift society online, it's hopelessly naive. So I'd be interested to read a "real digital public square" proposal that started from actual human behaviors. Say, people who studied physical public squares, their impacts, how they're regulated, and the social, non-legal mechanisms that keep them from just being filled with nazis, spam, and porn. But the ones that come out of the same naivete that we had in the mid-1990s or that Jack and Zuck had a decade later? We know what happens, and it never works out well.
What are you talking about? The part where they refer to Indian freedom fighters? Because I thought they did a really good job of highlighting a lot of them, not just well known ones and across vast political spectrums. I mean they had Bhagat Singh and Subhash Chandra Bose as well as Shivaji and Mirabai.
They are different. This book is about static analysis which is not discussed in-depth in the dragon book.

Makes CSS faster to write in the short term, and harder to read in the long term. Also makes complex markup abysmally dense and unwieldy. I understand why people like it but I avoid it when I can. As a Svelte user, my markup is sacred and each component has an automatically scoped style tag so Tailwind is an anti-pattern in any non-trivial project.
That is a lot of words to say "I have a fetish for intellectual babble".

I didn't say that the type of speech alone is enough to dismiss the argument. I am saying that resorting to terms more complicated than needed hinders communication.

If "words are tools for thought", OP is using the wrong tool and you are jerking off to someone who is employing a (overtly fancy) chisel to sand a block of wood.

(And yes, I did read up on the terms. His criticism is still vague and does not seem rooted in actual experience as a programmer, teacher or programming language designer.)
Yeah I have some mixed feelings. It's good that an Indian movie is breaking over to such significant consciousness in the US but a lot of the interest is like gawking. Like: 'OMG a tiger is jumping out of a truck with the hero, I'm laughing'

So as an Indian I feel like this shouldn't be generalized as the 'image' in people's minds of what an Indian movie is. The over the top parts should be considered as a genre of its own
My theory is that Russia/China/other-US-military-adversaries certainly cannot rewrite the laws of physics. But they might have gotten awful good at spoofing advanced sensors.

We should worry. Not about alien spacecraft, but about the inability of the public to deal with blurry photos.

There will always be some blurry / ambiguous photos. The fact that no sharp pictures show alien spacecraft means that blurriness is the phenomenon.

As long as there are slow news days, media outlets make a big deal out of blotches and blobs, and we as a public continue to fall for that.

> For example the Reddit website has been borderline unusable for many years, especially on mobile

I've heard this many times, but I've always had exactly the opposite experience -- the infinite scroll and poor resource management makes the performance of Reddit on desktop essentially unusable, while mobile is still paginated. As long as you switch from the awful Card view to the Compact, which should have been the default in the first place, mobile seems like a far superior experience to me. I refuse to use the app, so I can't compare there. Why do people cite the mobile web experience as being worse than desktop?
