This is easily one of the best comments in the thread, nice job being authentic to your experience! :-)

BTW have you ever gotten into acting, even on the side? Asking because your comment reminded me of some people I've known with similar experiences.
We have dozens of fusion startups, and dozens of fission startups working on everything you suggested. The fusion startups build test reactors. The fission startups do paper reactors and license applications, and in the US at least, if it's not a water-cooled solid uranium reactor, they probably won't get any further.

Fix the NRC, and we might get somewhere with fission.
as a user, because even of beast of a machine native apps are faster, snappier, don't have a ton of shitty useless animations and gigantic spacings & margins between everything. I swear whenever something animates in a UI it almost makes me reflex-xkill it.

good: https://cancel.fm/ripcord/static/ripcord_screenshot_win_6.pn... (densely packed information, respects the fonts of my OS, menus with dialogs, opens in 0.01 second, etc.

bad: slack/discord. they make me want to stop using computers altogether whenever I have to interact through one of those

as a developer, for now my experiments porting code requiring full-throttle maximal performance from the user's hardware in https://ossia.io to wasm for https://ossia.io/score-web really still puts wasm in the "toy" section, it's like going back to 15 years old hardware. Sure, there's likely wasm-specific optimizations that would help, but i don't need to do any of those for maintaining mac / win / linux versions so this is a bit frustrating. Also wasm is not likely to be able to load the tens of thousands of native VST, etc... native-code-based plug-ins developed over the last decades.
I suspect they will start with the troublemakers, such as that anti-Israel "activist," who got caught lying about retaliation.

Lots of people is just more than one. It’s not a quantified concept. Anyways, I’m happy to say “some” instead of “lots of”, my main point is that these people exist, that’s why I replied to your comment.
And I guess it'll be a while before Musk can tweet from the safety (?) of his outpost on Mars. So best to kill the deal, wot?
How does content blocking in iOS Safari (like with Adguard) work? Is it any better or worse than Chrome with manifest v3?
Depends on the workplace for sure
Famously, Steve Jobs rescued Apple from oblivion largely by stopping their market segmentation and forcing the company to have "one great product in each major category". As in one phone, one PC, one music player, etc...

Meanwhile Apple's competition is flailing around releasing literally hundreds of minor model variations each, which all require design, parts sourcing, warehousing, warranty support[1], standards licensing, FCC approvals, etc...

Remember Nokia? They had something like over 100 phone models when Apple release the iPhone!

More models isn't more choice. It's more confusion, more fragmentation, more overhead, and more upset customers that can't get the combination of features they want.

[1] This one in particular is a killer, especially in some markets like California and Australia. Needing to keep spares on hand for legally-mandated warranty drags down the profitability or jacks up the price for a lot of companies that don't "get" the Apple Way of having fewer SKUs.
I don't understand all the negative comments, my experience with Copilot is just insane, it really is autocomplete on steroids. It's hard to fathom that some people have a bad experience with it.
It’s usurious to charge $3 million for the privilege of making $25 million?

What is a not-leech price for critical infrastructure that allows you to generate $25 million? $1?

> FIDO’s current proposal has no mechanism for bulk-transferring passkeys between ecosystems. If you want to switch from an Android phone to an iPhone—or vice versa—you won’t be able to easily move all your passkeys over.

Allowing each tenant to move thousands of highly-sensitive internal tokens to a competitor is something the credit card processing industry, somewhat surprisingly, has more or less solved. Most credit card gateways that store card information on file in a PCI compliant way will allow a merchant to specify another competing PCI compliant service provider, and will export the merchant's information directly to the new service provider in bulk, without needing to provide any of the raw information to the merchant themself.

Via
https://www.chargebee.com/blog/credit-card-portability-impor... it seems Braintree developed an industry standard for this in ~2010, potentially (I don't know the history) as a way to force Stripe to allow its merchants to move elsewhere in the ecosystem without holding their cards-on-file hostage. Based on the list at https://docs.spreedly.com/guides/exporting/ - all of whom support this workflow - it seems this was quite successful.

Ironically, the standardization site has been down since 2019, but I suppose it was no longer needed. https://web.archive.org/web/20190212151438/http://www.portab...

Its guiding light was to be "patterned after telephone number portability that was part of the 1996 Telecommunications Act" - which is quite telling in this context.

Point is, there is precedent for developing frameworks in which secure token storage platforms can allow you to freely move between them, with secure bulk data transfers. Apple and Google would do well to get ahead of this, lest it become a regulatory or PR nightmare later when high-profile stories accuse them of intentionally promoting lock-in.
"phenomena where consciousness appears to extend beyond the physical brain and body in both space and time."

I think 'appears' is the important caveat, IMHO.
the productive conversation is to compare that to millions of deaths per year from pollution.
With upright bikes, a race on flat terrain is much like a racing game with incredibly overly aggressive rubberband ai. If you're in the lead you have to work twice as hard as the person behind you, so you don't actually want to pull ahead until the very end. On hills this is much less true, as you're going slower and wind resistance is less of a factor.

A recumbent bike greatly reduces wind resistance and makes it so that the person in second does 10% less work rather than 50% (numbers are made up). It's not that hills are easier, but that pulling ahead on flats would actually be viable.
My mistake! I knew it couldn't be linear and got sloppy. (For those checking that link, see p38, section 1.7.2)
Sounds like the third monkey had the most apeeling job.
I think you're oversimplifying. As the article states there are a lot of issues with PWAs that have nothing to do with the actual UI experience: discoverability, installing, that hamper web app adoption.

But that's mobile. Look at Slack's desktop app. It's an Electron web app and every time it's mentioned on HN everyone agrees it's an awful resource hog and they should make a native version. The vast majority of people using Slack don't care, though.
Those users are Apple's target market, you are not.

The main reason people buy Apple devices today is that the software ecosystem is consistent and predictable. This isn't silly, this is a core value proposition.

Meanwhile, millions of Android devices have shipped with with literal malware from the factory. I know because I used to develop custom ROMs to remove the malware that my own carrier installed on my phone.

I doubt Apple is primarily concerned about losing money to side-loading. The vast majority of users purchase apps from the default store on their phone.
Bring them home. Take care of them as much as you can. Spend time with them. I spent 6 months taking care of my dad while working from home. He was wheelchair bound and we had to have hospice care come in every few days to help out with things. There were no options to send him to a retirement home, unless it was something that Social Security could pay for. So I basically moved in with him, and lived with him until he passed away.

Doing it while working full time was the most stressful thing I have ever done. It was so difficult, dealing with doctors and nurses and care people calling every day. Keeping his doctors informed on what was going on. Keeping track of his prescriptions. Keeping his appointments up. And he had a lung disease, and it was during COVID, so it was super isolating, as I could not fuck around at all with exposing him. I could not leave him at home alone at all. It would take 30 minutes to load him into the car... I got maybe a couple of hours a week to leave the house. I also lost my partner of 10 years.

But would I do it all again? Most definitely. Despite how hard it was, it was a life-changing experience. I have never felt such love and support from my dad and all the people around me. I'm so glad that I got to spend so much time with him and be with him up to the end. He was so scared of going to a home, there was just no way I could let that happen, and I'm super glad that I didn't.
For most people, you won't have these issues. For those that do, what difference does it make to fix it vs making it all on their own?
Ah, vosk-transcriber looks like it's decent, especially if you use srt output so you have timestamps. Probably no reason to use mp4grep for this purpose then.
Lots of people get into trouble all the time and don't have a PLB or satellite messenger on them. It's not just on boats – hikers and climbers in the mountains get themselves into dangerous situations frequently.

Globalstar is probably preparing for an influx of new users to their service who would otherwise not own a satellite-capable device.
Nobody is incentivized to reduce the number of laws on the books, but I would vote for any politician whose position was "I will only repeal laws."

The US government is obsessed with giving narrowly-targeted groups of people money through the most obtuse mechanism possible, and it is ridiculous. If you were just sent a check when you bought an EV (for example), a lot of the tax stuff would be much simpler.
This is such a load of horsecrap. If you need to file deductions then you do that, the government just pre-fills everything they already know. If you want to hire an accountant to be creative with your exceptions you can still do that.
> When it comes to data storage, security is a big concern. No matter what information you store, you want to make sure that it is safe and secure. Even trivial information is now worth a lot of money, and it is used to profile users. So you want to make sure that your data is safe

Tracking and profiling is rarely what people mean by data safety and usually instead refer to privacy. Privacy != safety. Beyond that, it doesn’t explain why you might want to keep your “data” safe from profiling. Most profiling is done on data that you can’t “own”. Eg. Facebook tracks you through tracking pixels and behavioral monitoring, and there’s no way to “own” that data - it’s never given to you the way your footprints on the beach are never yours.

I worry that lay-people without a technical understanding of things understand enough to see through the BS scare marketing tactics but not enough to understand that data security is important AND data privacy is important - for different reasons than usually mentioned.
Clear definition is the end goal, not a starting point.
I can't provide a source for Google axing a too-invasive extension, because they've never been straightforward about it. My favorite excuse was that the extension's description was "too detailed."

As for the other, here you go: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/338#iss...
> Maybe, but there's no sense in optimizing for those things in the midst of a climate crisis. Yes, if we could flip a switch and everyone could start cycling, that would help the climate crisis enormously, but there is no such switch and in reality it would be completely reorganizing our society which is not a viable project in the timeframe the climate demands.

Those things are the climate crisis. Tailpipe emissions are only one part of the ravages that car dependent suburbia puts on the climate.

There is also a trivial switch to start the transition for >50% of the population. Put some paint and barnicles on the roads and end euclidean zoning.

> They are strictly more efficient than the status quo, and especially where it counts: miles traveled per unit carbon emission. This is the overriding concern.

The overriding concern is units of carbon emission. Halving the per km but doubling the miles travelled doesn't net you anything.

> Istanbul and Toronto are more densely populated than almost anywhere in the United States. Of course public transit investment works there. Moreover, they're individual small places--we're talking about public transit infrastructure for the entirety of the United States--there aren't enough public transit infrastructure firms in the world to get that done, and developing experienced people to do that work takes decades and considerable expense.

Low density is a symptom, not a cause. If you don't legally mandate low density, take the lion's share of infrastructure to enable it, and gesture to traffic making things unlivable any time anyone tries to build an apartment then you get density hy default.

More of the people live in the higher density areas definitionally. Stop forcing them to spread out and let the others who actually need to be spread out use EVs (or ICEs as there are so few of themit doesn't matter). More money has been gifted to Elon Musk for luxury vehicles in california alone than would be required to build out a world class transit system for San Francisco and LA from scratch, at his promis of a ridiculous boondoggle, high speed rail was cancelled.

> I don't think the people bringing a dose of reality to the anti-car party are doing any meaningful harm.

"We can't do the one thing that works because of those other people objecting to it" while objecting to it is obvious disingenuous lies and self righteous smugness to boot. You are the opposition you gesture vaguely to, and the solution to the political problem is to stop being the political problem.

It's also not self righteous or smug to say stop taking most of the infrastructure money and 90% of the communally paid for space to build a moat of death around me that is only passible if I spend a quarter of my income on a car. It's not even neutral. It's a tiny step towards equality and you're so entitled you perceive it as an attack.

EVs are here to save the car industry, not the planet.
Well the Energy Department just approved a new nuclear design for testing. Not sure how long it was in the works. If there is enough money to be made, you better believe it will get done faster that 15 years.
I agree, but further, government should be helping with this early stage research, and putting more of it towards fission, not leaving it to startups.
The only thing I missed about Altavista was their desktop search app for Windows. This was long before search got built into the OS.
Yes, I saw that metric, and my point stands. Cars are more efficient than humans, even humans on bikes.

> note that maintaining internal homeostasis in a human is not exactly "losing" energy to heat

If you bike a lot you will eat more. People tend to forget that and assuming the biking is "free" energy. I guess if it's just a causal activity then it is, but if you do it to commute you will end up eating more.
If the feature you're listing here is searching across all tabs... I think it's perfectly fine. Both have features not available in the other one.

> Mozilla has no one to blame but Mozilla for where Firefox isn't in terms of market share.

I think you should read up on how Chrome was/is advertised, how is pushed to users and what marketing channels and resources Google has.
I like the window tiling and speed of SecureCRT.
They could allow firefox though. Wouldn't that be entertaining.
Just goes to show what happens when people, who often know better, have a knee-jerk reaction rather than taking a moment and asking a question or three. All of what came down on the writer could have been avoided.
There's e.g. the SiFive P650[0], from 2021. SiFive does claim it does outperform Cortex-A77.

Cortex-A77 isn't ARM's fastest anymore, but it was in 2019. Meaning SiFive was, in 2021, not even 2 years behind. If tracing back to prior generations, you'll see SiFive has been quickly closing the gap.

To the point that it wouldn't surprise me if at the next iteration from both companies, SiFive and ARM highest performance cores were on par.

What's even more amazing is that SiFive's cores are consistently smaller area and lower power to the ARM cores they have comparable performance to.

Tax agency is known for kindness for locals (I don't know for foreigners) unlike other gov services. It earns money unlike other gov services so it could be the reason.

Anyway average employee just need to fill a few papers. Employer do most jobs. https://jopus.net/en/column/year-end-tax-adjustment.html
The OP stuff is brilliant (I guess) but it's small libraries. It's not "senior" work that manages a lot of complexity and deployment risk and $MM cost/benefit tradeoffs, it's hard/smart small work. Exactly what you want smart juniors to do.

Many seniors would never be able to do the stuff in the OP.
this.

you cannot adblock in native apps like you can in web apps. and web apps can never be as invasive.

no matter how good PWAs will be for the consumers, they lack all the user-hostile things producers expect to be able to do. this is why it will never happen, sadly.
I'm assuming that folk beliefs about personality typing are more widespread than actual constructive uses for it, so that if I ever encounter the latter, I can deal with it as an exception.
The same paragraph resulted in immediate closing of the article for me as well. lol
I figured if the author was going to be reaching that hard, nothing of value was lost by not reading it.

It should be, it has wifi/cellular/map assistance and is paired with a phone with L5 GPS.
There's going to be regret and resentment no matter which he chooses. Let's not sugarcoat it.
I did a proof-of-concept for this a few years ago: https://github.com/jogjayr/pykg

It literally uses npm, the NPM registry, and node_modules for Python dependency management.
> I would still love to see a web API for something equivalent to UITableView, though.

If browsers started shipping support for typical UI widgets like that, I would become much more interested in the web as a platform. Bring Your Own Everything is fine for traditional websites but I strongly dislike it for building something complex enough to be considered an "app".
I've been working on a project and because I really hate Java I'm trying to get it done with a PWA. There are like ten million annoying things that prevent you from having access to the hardware in easy ways but outside that using a browser for UI is pretty solid for my purposes.

I'm only concerned with one user so I've been able to circumvent those issues by just running code on the underlying *nix subsystem on my phone and talking to the UI over websockets. For certain usecases WebBluetooth is actually enough to control a peripheral and you don't even need a rooted phone, just any android w/ chrome.

A lot of the reasoning behind why phones are so locked down feels like safety theater, there may be good security reasons, but there are also DEFINITELY good business reasons.

It's frustrating, if Android was actually an open platform (at least in the Windows sense LOL) I could do this shit without resorting to weird root-cloaking fuckery that gets broken every update.
It's a real problem with interpreted languages in general. PATH lookup is not always desirable.

Not to mention library linking and looking for various other data files.
Transient apps, like for booking a flight or hotel, ordering food, really need to be PWAs.

I mean, come on. Making me go to an app store and installing an app to do a simple business transaction is not a good user experience.
It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for him.

If you're only going to count the "going with gravity" part, a ball falling out of the sky is very efficient too.
I never got the paper, so I calculated it with a program on my computer. It was just very fast to enter some digits vs working through the menus to record something.

I later automated it with electronic listings with just the shows I was interested in, that fed directly into the VCR+ program and gave me a quick list I could enter.

> But the feature to skip commercials sounds pretty sweet.

In some ways it better than what they have now - it would fast forward through the commercial, so you could see if it made a mistake, or if there was a preview, or a special ad that was also partly the show (yah they did weird things like that then).

Zedtopia is a PWA...

Going Native App this early would cost too much to develop and maintain, and because our platform is for publishing, sharing, and discussing web2 and web3 content, our app would require using a webview to render user uploaded html.

Thus might as well use a browser.

Myspace was just a webapp.
Facebook started off as a webapp. Reddit is a webapp. I don't like installing extra apps unless necessary.

Bloatware is annoying to my target user -- Early adopters and innovators.

Thus PWA is the choice for this platform. It guarantees universal accessibility which is really important to our core values of inclusion and universal design.

It's easier to make a webapp that uses the ecosystems' accessibility tools for deaf, blind, and impaired users.

with things like webgl, we can even do lightweight gpu calculations and 3d presentations on a phone browser.

a native app is only necessary for apps that use native functions.

furthermore, until we move past jwt auth for api based apps and backends, platforms will still get hacked.
To be fair, this is a big part of the problem- I’m doing this on a m1 mac, PLUS am new to python. Fortunately there are some good guides. Still, this is a solvable problem in other package managers.
Nice, but PATH isn't always set right.

I've run into this particular issue with stripped down containers.

I run a script as part of the container's CMD/ENTRYPOINT, and it fails.

Run it through an interactive shell, and hey-presto PATH is setup and script runs fine.
Dumb question, if I may, having never used a GPS smartwatch: How easy to use are the Garmin watches on the trails? Can I download a certain route (like from Alltrails or Trailforks or Gaia) onto it and then have it position + route me in the woods, with just GPS and no cell signal?

I don't really want a smartwatch (ugh, slack on my wrist? no thanks), but a backpacking safety companion would be awesome!
If you want a good example of what I'm talking about, go look at the official Reddit app and compare it to Apollo for iOS. The former feels like a wrapper for the mobile site with a few native flourishes on top. It ignores lots of iOS design conventions, because they want the experience to be the same on iOS and Android. Apollo on the other hand feels like a true native iOS app, it follows all of Apples design paradigms, and feels right at home next to the apps that come preinstalled on your iPhone.

Boats? Denver to California is basically only covered if you can see a paved road… and their aren’t a ton of paved roads. Let’s not get into Canada, even on the main highway there are plenty of dead spots.

Also, don’t overestimate their bandwidth. I rented a sat-phone once for weather updates mid Atlantic. Text only emails could take a minute to ul/dl with full reception.
