So Vega trades off expressiveness for interactivity, interesting perspective. But, I think this only applies when manually writing the Vega (Lite) JSON: for me an important advantage of the spec being mere JSON is that it's easy to generate visualizations from another language. This approach again limits the interactivity, but only as much as you choose to - the more you generate and pre-compute, the less interactivity is possible.

I worked on a belt years ago that use gyros to measure gait and warn against fall risks. This CareAlert product is a really, really good idea. Use the smart home tech in the against them! Reminds me a bit of the people who triangulated wifi received signal strength to track laptop position.

To remove the wearables, makes it much more likely to get the measurements. Makes the data more reliable because it’s less likely to be null. I’ve been using Eight Sleep’s sleep tracking gear for a while for this reason too.
You are right, it was the other group of jihadists, the one fighting against another Iranian backed group. That time Iran's leadership basically implied the attack was somewhow okay, without literally saying it.

Myers-Briggs is one step above astrology signs IMO. Pretty much a crock of horse shit.

So what is it?
Oh, so they make their own chips, they make both AirPods and MacBook, the OS, but then why do they fail to connect 20% of the time? I think the product should be capable of making sound 99.9%, not 80% of the time. AirPods might be the king of BT devices but it's a beggar in the house of wired.
Purely anecdotal, I used to be in a running club and single, the most success I had with women was when we would stop at a bar and I would randomly talk to them while sweaty.

I'm sure it was mostly my endorphins they found attractive and not my sweat, but perhaps there is something to it.
They could do some cool 1-way Forward Error Correctioned broadcasts with that. “Point your phone in the sky here for your daily news updates” kinda thing. Could be localized with spot beams in a future iteration.

Or get a fancy holder and hold in place for an hour to get X minutes of video updates.

Or overnight for the latest AppleTV banger.

Basically a mini-direcTV.
Judging from the landing page, it's not any way close to `$(document).ready()` as parent said.

Hey I like this, but I wasn't quite sure of a use case from the homepage. Is it something I download? Something I embed?
No good can come from 'raising awareness' of child grooming. You may as well take evidence of that to law enforcement if you deeply believe it's happening.

Vigilante justice directly lives at odds with Western values, and sharing and pushing such accusations over and over in public is harassment (for argument's sake, you can harass people with the truth), and harassment is something the public feels they can kind of help with by denouncing the accusations and declaring solidarity with the harassed.

This isn't a particularly new arrangement. Reading into your post, I would hazard a guess you felt that it was scandalous that Zoe Quinn at one point slept with a reporter who later reviewed her videogame? Were you alarmed by the fact that games media figures had a secret chatroom where they communicated, potentially colluded? Wasn't that, in your eyes, the same situation? Why express alarm now?
What alternatives do we have for global payments?
Stripe I already know about. Anything else?
Germany already did that. They shut down a whole bunch of power plants to meet emissions quotas thinking they could meet demands with renewables. They made their grid fragile and dependent on the Russians, and now they can’t. They’re planning on rationing and building warming shelters: https://m.dw.com/en/german-residents-make-plans-amid-fears-o...
No, they did not.
> Huh, yeah, turning on "Reduce motion" does indeed disable bounce scroll in Firefox. Definitely a strange choice on their part! (It doesn't affect it in other apps.

The current safari bounce effect bounced ALL fixed elements when you bounce the page body. And by copy that. It basically make youtube(or probably any similierly designed website) unusable for anyone have motion sickness. Because the most part of UI is fixed. And hense it is part of "Reduce motion" setting.

Side notes: Safari agreed that bouncing fixed elements is a bug after Firefox implemented it. So this effect will probably be reverted later.
Maybe those with the more extreme views expressing their opinions is a necessary part of the process of society arriving at that balance.
I don't see what they're trying to hide though, they're paid millions of dollars for "consulting" services. It's not like anything is going to happen to them if they just get more. Why bother doing the art and book deals and things? Or is it to inflate the ego of the ones who actually believe they're talented and interesting?
There's also the fact that canned prompts use dramatically less data.
The reason why is because on iPhone, I can only hope and pray for things to get better, which I have been doing for three years; there aren't really any options if you don't like the intentional limitations of the iPhone. With the Pixel phone, I have options today and indefinitely, regardless of the motivations of Google. Comparing Google's motivations vs Apple's motivations is missing the bigger picture.

It's not a panacea, but it's about as close as they come.
The problem with this kind of thinking is that even though it sounds benign, it takes away agency from individuals.

It translates to: “We are all free to make decisions for ourselves, but not “you”..and not “that”..”

At the end of the day, we can only live our lives. And can’t control others. We have to be consistent when it comes to the definition of ‘free’.

It is not dissimilar to the idea of children choosing gender transition. Do I have an opinion? Yes. Does it matter? No. Ditto with reproductive rights.

We have to define ‘freedom’ and stick to that definition. “My body, my choice” should fit to all bodies.

Haha no, they would call the literally space-age thing that saved their lives "price gouging" and point as Apple's profits as evidence that every human is entitled to this service for free.
Is your number for electric cars including the losses of creating that electricity (coal is perhaps 30-40% efficient, solar around 15-20%). Otherwise, we're comparing apples with oranges. Or perhaps, since all energy (perhaps lets put nuclear aside for now) comes from the sun, we can compare system efficiency between solar energy input and energy/g/km output.

Humans on bikes can also use the wind to help them; birds fly in formations that greatly increase system efficiency (much like pelotons)
Why not go in reverse and have /bin and /lib directories again? Why merge into /usr? I feel like the suckless people and fellows like them will be happy.

I think even /usr/share can get its own directory, why not?
I’d assume they care because Go was designed to keep the codebase as “neat” and clean as possible when being worked on by many developers. Given enough time and developers, things like unused variables will start to seep in and make the codebase dirtier.

Of course if you’re the only developer working on your own codebase, you’d wonder why they care but you’re also not the main group they were targeting.

What is it about ribs? My wife broke a couple a few weeks ago and she didn’t realize it until lumps started forming on the bones a week later.

She continued mountain biking for a day and a half after the fall, haha.

She’s still hurting a lot. I hope I never break a rib. The worst part is apparently I won’t know when I do!
Is this an official archival page from some foundation set up by the Jobs family / Apple or a fan made webpage? I didn't see any further information.
Ask HN: What are your thoughts on the lack of 3rd-party Data Privacy apps [iOS]
Apple products are notorious for data privacy issues, from hacking attacks to user configuration errors. However, no comprehensive 3rd-party Data Privacy apps exist for ensuring device-level information security for the average user.

Is Apple preventing such apps from release on the App Store; is there a wisdom to Apple-only data security?

What are your thoughts?

This question will likely become more and more relevant with the consumer use of airtags; with the advent of Apple Watch’s ovulation tracking; with the overall lack of data security within the Apple ecosystem.
Yep, some duplicated templates where they need to be is dead simple and cheap. I've been thinking about this for many years and still think that is by far the best.
I'm more BSD, but I have come to like 'local' and wish it were further refined so we can mount usr & bin as read-only and be able to rebuild machines with a backup of local and I guess etc.
People in finance and management should take the hit.

What this will lead to is a new norm or people starting new jobs before putting their two weeks in and “quiet quitting”.
Generally iOS is quite conservative in its update. They also tend to port the most useful/popular features of the various Android and Android custom launchers with a bit of lag so things are already quite ironed out when they land.
willpowering is a bad way to change any behavior. It's more or less a setup for failure.

There are definitely ways to prepare and change a behavior with intention

- limit time per day. if you find yourself going over,
thats ok, note it, and put the phone down.

- try uninstalling the app entirely -- make it harder for yourself to get the fix

- schedule other activities that require you to be in the moment

- give yourself positive reinforcement when you succeed. don't beat yourself up if you don't.

- set very small goals, when you meet them, set some more very small goals

Don't even bother with a million. Even 1k concurrent users with 75% read/25% write is not something plain SQLite can handle without significant latency compared to Postgres.
You need some kind of plausibility behind the payments though. I might want a selfie with POTUS for bragging rights, and I'm rich, but I don't own a business that could reasonably have Hunter consult for. So, I buy his artwork instead, and eventually I get invited to a dinner that Joe happens to be at.
Not 100% sure but I believe there was also other messages like "Help is on its way"
I like your product. Unique, unintrusive, and well thought-out. I wish you lots of success. I'd definitely consider it for my parents in the future.
I know you aren't pitching your product here on HN, but I found the video on your site sensorscall.com really informative.
What are the alternatives for global payments other than Stripe?
You are correct. I rewatched that part and seems like it can send small texts too.

Because going from the science project has finally worked to supplying 10% of the worlds electricity in just 20 years would be a truly incredible pace progress.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong. But, does WebAuthn really improve authentication? With WebAuthn, instead of a secret password, you store a secret key. Why not just use really long passwords behind password managers? You're using some software to save a secret in either case.
I’m confused about your link. It says “The long-anticipated demise of the
/usr/ucb and /usr/ucblib directories is planned for the next major
version of Solaris.” What does it mean by “next major version”? Solaris 12? Well, not long after this blog post was written, Solaris 12 was cancelled, so if that’s what it means, it is talking about something that’s never actually going to happen.
App Library is a huge improvement particularly the Niagara-like list. Control center was also significantly improved and notifications are still lagging Android a bit but are getting better and better with each release.
Could someone who is familiar with multiple of these compare Wilkinson's work to Wickham's and Vega/Vega-Lite?

So you would have trouble telling whether a given person is taller or shorter than average?
To add more to this, the LEDs rely on phosphors to get white or amber light off. It's one company that had defective phosphors and sold them all around the country.

I look forward to whatever video game they create where you get the rescue points for holding your phone in the right orientation.
Wow, I never knew what that feature was for. I would randomly trigger it and be confused.
Ladies would need to drop birth control if they were going to do this effectively. Apparently birth control inhibits their ability to discern the smell of guys, and there are stories of women going off of birth control and absolutely being repulsed by the smell of the guy they have been dating. (Not that he smelled bad, but rather it wasn't the type of smell she was attracted to.)
A sweaty shirt smells entirely different (and generally better) than a rancid, post-sweaty, unwashed shirt.

This idea doesn't even pass the, ahem, smell test.
Maybe you are misunderstanding? This number would be the holy grail of any company. Unfortunately the claim made is pure nonsense :)
Also, if you're a company looking to hire Zig devs check out zigjobs.org. (Disclaimer: I made it.)
Yeah, I kind of assumed they were writing this facetiously, because otherwise that kind of type-a prima donna Wagnerian complex is like shorthand for: "hey let's never be friends".
>Interesting that you went to profit immediately. Much of my use of OSS is personal and for fun and because I believe it makes the world a better place

Akka’s new license only charges entities that are making $25 million dollars per year. I do not think this impacts hobbyist’s ability to play around with it, so yes, profit is a very obvious point to bring up. The only limitation is literally on organizations that are massively profiting off of it.

It’s also “interesting” that you didn’t address my questions aside from:

>I also know that forks are another waste of energy.

That is not knowledge that I share. I was under the impression that lots of good software has been built by forking other good software but maybe I’m wrong!

>Frankly, I don't use Akka and I'm definitely not going to now, so as far as I'm concerned, Akka is more than welcome to sign their own death warrant.

Why on earth are you so enthusiastic about this software then? Are you shelving your plans to build a $25 million per year business on top of this software? Is that what normally happens when you play around with OSS for fun?

As for their death warrants, I hope they sign some big fat checks instead of doing free work to impress random people that have a convenient quasi-religious morality of “money for me but not for thee”
I don't understand why media does these hitpieces on progressive causes. Isn't walking away from ICE a good thing? Isn't improving the economies of scale for electric cars to push the technology a good thing? Of course there will be teething challenges, we have generations of technical debt to overcome. It's good that people are trying. Californians are wealthy, they'll sort out their power situation sooner or later.
Yep, and we are humans with a track record of breaking the prime directive everywhere we went on earth, so why not other worlds? If there is microbal life on mars, we will kill it soonish.
I hope these are better for calls. We've debated banning AirPods at my workplace because the mics are so awful.

I tried AirPods but eventually landed on the new Pixel Buds, which are incredible.

Sony's WF-1000MX4s are good too, and I'm still using my Bose QC 35 II as daily drivers (pun intended, I guess).
$15 million to “study”. Doesn’t sound like anything salient but maybe a step forward.
As someone who hits the beaches in Kauai fairly often, I've migrated to just using a rash guard and hat for sun protection. My lower legs for whatever reason don't get burned. I feel much better about not putting whatever is in sunscreen all over my body. Sometimes I'll throw some zinc oxide on my nose, but mostly just for a kitschy throwback.
Because if you merge you can put the entire operating system in /usr, which allows you to mount it read-only, or from an NFS share, or various other options, easily.

>I see nobody's mentioned TOTP support yet.

Thank you very much for your remark! I always am in trouble when I have to dig through terrible KeePass "documentation" and never found a remark about it.
I would guess this feature is more for hikers, etc. who wouldn't really want to carry extra things if they could avoid it.
My point is, why does there need to be any air of legitimacy? Those "business" dealings in Ukraine and China etc are already blatantly corrupt bribery schemes to buy political favors as it is. Deniability is already pretty far fetched, so paying a bit more is hardly going to change that.
Mountain bikes are most efficient when you ride them off a cliff.
First - there’s plenty of evidence of intercontinental trade prior to colonization/ migration in Humanity’s past.

Second, you have a very anthropomorphic perspective built in to your thinking. What if they had lifespans measured in centuries or longer? What if they had radically different views of life and death and generational cooperation? Alien life is, by definition, alien. It’s hard to say what would/wouldn’t be true.
It takes time. Don't try to find passion in your employment - that's just to pay the bills. You'll find many different things to be interested in and passionate about as life goes on, and you'll grow disinterested and lose passion as well. Don't worry too much about the Hollywood script of what life is supposed to be like.

Most of those people that talk about 'finding passion' and 'doing what you love' are just spouting platitudes. Very few people are actually living anything close to their ideal lives. Find a job that's comfortable physically, mentally, and financially, relationships that are honest and fulfilling, and explore new areas whenever you find yourself needing something to occupy your time. It's OK if you never fall in love or find the true meaning of your life.
I don't buy into this whole "competent people are too busy for X". There's always time to socialize and mentor others. And even the best writers get writer's block for weeks.

I believe the main purpose for these groups is emotional support to becoming a professional. Which can often be in contrast to wanting to improve. So they can be very hostile to constructive criticism.

r/screenwriting is probably an exception. I think people who know about screenwriting are already very capable writers. More talk about how to solve specific work problems, or request career advice past 10 years. Less on trying to get your foot into the industry.

It's still no HN, closer to r/androiddev. In HN you have people talking about quitting FAANG. I believe in a top tier screenwriting group, you'll have more discussions on how to survive Hollywood, things like salaries at Disney, and such.
Since we can't remove batteries I know a mylar Cheetos snack bag does the trick.

You did a great job describing quality management

It's like good infrastructure, if you don't notice it and you can proceed through your life with minimum distractions, that means it's working as intended.
It makes a lot of scents! er, sense.

There have been quite a few studies over the years on "partner compatibility and smell." There's some bit of the genome (MHC) where "most opposite" works best for creating healthy kids, and somehow or another, women can detect this by smell. Give a group of 10 women a bunch of sweaty t-shirts, and they'll all have a different preference for which one smells best - based on that particular genetic difference from them.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/13864652_Body_Odour... and associated similar studies all find the same thing.

Of course, hormonal birth control throws this whole system for a loop. :/ Also found repeatedly in studies on the matter.
I like to think they're saying "We'll make contact when they realize they don't have to build a fusion reactor because there's already one in their sky."
It’s only the last 5 years, give or take, that you can install C-compiled packages with pip. When I started out, I had to apt/port/pacman install packages, then run pip install (or python setup.py even) to install dependencies. It’s hard for newer python converts to even comprehend the pain it used to be. Conda came with the compiled package concept, and pip came after. Dealing with dependencies these days is a breeze, relatively speaking. On windows you even needed a visual studio license, just to pip install numpy!
3. Have a package of common utility functions maintained by organization rather than an individual, like Apache Commons Lang.
As a NixOS user, I thank you.
I tend to agree. Performance-wise, kerosene is "good enough". The only area where I see LH2 being worth the effort is military aircraft, especially unmanned.

Of course, that's not a knock against green hydrogen itself (which I'm sure some will interpret it as) since kerosene is really just hydrogen with extra steps. But there are more factors that go into an effective propulsion system than just raw performance and efficiency.
