I believe one typically doesn't just happen to be good at something - like inherently good.

There's always first a phase of getting good at something - which took time and effort, regardless of whether it was conscious effort or not.

When people think they simply are good at something, that usually means, that they did NOT have to put in conscious effort to get started. But they still put in some effort, even if they didn't really notice it.

How much effort (conscious or not) any individual is going to need to get good at anything, can vary a lot. But more importantly, for most people the amount of effort does not really matter, when they enjoy something and are passionate about it.

The important thing to note here is, that there's a positive feedback loop. If you enjoy doing something, you will get better at it - and getting better at doing something makes you enjoy it more.

When it comes to work and jobs though, the whole setup surrounding the actual work (the hamster wheel of weekly work times, company politics, pressure to perform etc.) can really hurt the passion though.

Finding something you like doing and find easy to get better at is typically the easy part. Finding a work place that doesn't suck the fun out of it... that's more difficult. At least in my experience.
Worth noting that those "soft and fluffy" clumps of gravel and sand still move at 18+km per second and even one the size of Dimorphos striking the earth would easily cause an explosion big enough to completely level even the largest city (think 30 to 50 megatons of explosive energy upon impact). Or for example a comet, -mostly just a sort of dirty snowball- a couple miles in diameter would cause a global climatic catastrophe and vaporize every living thing and standing structure within hundreds of miles of its impact location.

Terrifying capabilities for such soft and fluffy, brittle things.
> This won't apply retroactively

No, but the parent’s point is still valid - many people own more than one lightning cable and/or lightning-enabled accessory (charging docks, stereos, etc) and as soon as you own an iPhone with USB-C, they’ll immediately become either useless or require yet another adapter.

This already happened once when the iPhone switched from the iPod connector to Lightning, and people revolted for this exact reason.
that's like... a ~30 line program...maybe

take the output of

`git ls`

group it by directory

iterate over the grouped directories passing each file to

`git log --follow $1 | git shortlog -sn`

sum the numbers next to each name

sort the name + number combos within the directory.

print the info for each directory.
It's mostly just how it's been done. You can still get a prescription "filled" by getting blister packs in the US.

But if you think of drugs that are dispenses in the tens of thousands each month, like cholesterol medication - the amount of packaging the pharmacy would have to store would be massive.
Was in my todo to investigate scaffolding tools. Was thinking of using:

Curious what everyone else uses? Or you still start each project with empty folders and manually add things?
I don't have much physical media since finally going 4K HDR, but so far my experience hasn't been great. I purchased the Mission:Impossible boxed set, and it came with a download code to use on iTunes.

The discs look like trash. Noisy, grainy, just bad. The iTunes versions look phenomenal.

It would be nice if there was a way to know how good the quality of a particular release is before buying it. Reviews I read don't seem to go into a lot of detail. I realize it's probably somewhat subjective and hard to put into words how an image looks.
There is also GNU Mach from the venerable HURD.
Apple has been using the law to stop other phones coming with lightning ports. If they had left it open the market may well have chosen it.

West world season 3 in a nutshell. It’s definitely going to happen some day.
Sure the "DC UPS" are basically "simple dumb batteries", but the sort of loads that you'd probably run off them and the expected runtime of each tends to be quite different.

Guessing the average AC UPS that someone might back a desktop with might last 5 minutes (or in a data centre long enough for the generators to kick in). A "DC UPS" running a router or a raspberry pi likely has a runtime measured in hours. Still would be nice to have monitoring info available, but more time for human intervention to shut down if need be.

"you might as well roll your own for less cost and much more runtime..."

Depends on how much gear you want to power. If you just want to keep a raspberry pi online a few hours I doubt you'd save much money (if any) rolling your own. Could be fun as a project though.
Is RUP still seeing widespread use? Interesting. I hated it because of all the red tape.

Then again, the bureaucrats of today call themselves "agilists" and fill your weeks and days with meetings after meetings, plannings, sync ups, etc.
Code School, 10 Years Later
I sometimes miss the days of XSLT and XML. They were very performant and easy-to-use client-side templating technologies that had a lot of power. I still think there was a lot to be gained by combining XSLT and JavaScript client-side.

Then again, when I look at old projects I do find it extremely verbose and JSX makes me so much happier.
Blatantly racist and bigoted statement. Really has no place on HN. Probably a troll.
They're not incompatible. They make bootleg magsafe USB-C cables.
Not really. I will have to replace my AirPods, iPad and touchpad and iPhone for this to be the case.

I assume it will take ten years or so.

Really I would just love a small usbc female to lighting male. Would solve all my cable problems basically.
UML diagrams are pretty useful. UML as a code generation tool and as a substitute for thoughtful design... not so much.
Minix and Intel
I think it means that knowledge and material things are quite different.

For example, a material thing cannot be duplicated a million times in a second. Or transmitted a million miles in an eyeblink.

And knowledge has no mass.

We could probably draw a bunch of other distinctions too.
> No one argues with pronouncing the first syllables of those words with the "air" sound.

I do.

Never met anyone who would rhyme the first syllable in "character" with "air" - maybe this is true in some US accents? I'm British and would say "character" as "kah-rik-tuh" or "kah-rak-tuh" which definitely has no "air" sound anywhere.

For me, by this logic, it would be "Vair-Kar"
Are there exceptions to this for things like small devices? For instance, my Xiaomi smart watch charges with a USB->magnetic pogo pin adapter and that seems apt for the small size.

Way easier than trying to fiddle with a tiny door covering a USB port like on some of my headphones.
A law specifying a technical hardware feature on a consumer device not related to safety is ridiculous. Is there no other higher priority for the EU to work on?
Who exactly did they consult with?
Apple should love it. No way a USB-C port lasts 5 years in daily use.

First of all, you're really good at identifying the need for people to be able to answer this question! It's a very good question because often people aren't aware of their own skills. I don't have an answer here but if you could develop one you'd have many customers to utilize this as a service.

I googled "what hidden skills do i have" and found other people looking into this question as well.
There’s an eternal conflict between “Chaotic but Smart” vs “Orderly but Dumb.” Historically the tech industry has been very much on the side of “Chaotic but Smart.”

This is a victory for “Orderly but Dumb.”

I think Apple knows they need to switch, but now the EU will take all the bad press and their hands are clean. Such a huge PR win for Apple!
That point maybe sounds smart, but doesn't actually make any sense to have added, as I can respond with "yes!!" and it doesn't contradict anything about the argument you are ostensibly trying to undermine. That (importantly) said, the new statement isn't even a true thing to be trying to note anyway in this context: unlike USB-C, which is an industry standard, Apple owns lightning and so if one were to imagine forcing the world to standardize on it it would actually CREATE a monopoly.
I don't know if you're joking but Ultima online was obviously released 20 years before GitHub actions existed
No need to act surprised, and a rabble-rousing post isn’t necessary here. This is HN. We go around the same circular warpath about kernel anti-cheat drivers every few months for the past five years, and your argument is a poorly-presented rehash of a common viewpoint from those many, many discussions.
Ah that’s a bummer, I was looking to try it soon!
Actually Portable Executable (2020)
I'm currently working on an MVP and moved it over to railway.app

Overall the process was smooth, the React + Vite frontend app was up and running as soon as I connected GitHub and added the envars. But the dotnet backend took a little bit of trial and error to get running because it didn't like my initial Dockerfile.

Overall the process has been pretty smooth though I wish the docs were a little more robust and had more examples.
This is very good work

One of my ideas is "lazy invariant maintenance". It should be possible to layer the tip of execution (what should go on next) with lazy incremental materialized invariants. Let the computer decide what is the most efficient approach to solving the computational problem. In other words everything is a query and queries are layered ontop of eachother in arbitrary directions. I think storage or source of truth should be decided by the software. It might be more efficient to arrange data a certain way to sustain multiple types of queries.

My whole purpose in using Heroku is to avoid self-hosting something, to get the "platform as a service." Is that not the main attraction of heroku? Maybe not for everyone, if the idea of a self-hosted product as an "alternative" to heroku has traction?
Yes. A bunch of non-Apple devices have an Apple TV app now¹, and you can also play movies to any device that supports AirPlay 2¹.

> If you buy a DVD or a Blue-Ray at a retail store, you are able to play that disk for as long as that disk physically works (often over 20 years). There are very few if any countries that would allow a shop to send around bailiffs to seize DVDs already bought years past, because the distributor no-longer has the rights to distribute the content.

If a retailer dared attempt such seizure of people’s Property, there would mass outrage. The media would shout about the retailer being thief’s, questions would be raised in parliament and the business would most likely face legal problems.

On the other hand, if the distributor simply added the Blu-ray you bought to the blacklist of your DRM compliant Blu-ray player, I'm not so sure there would be the same level of outrage, even though the end result were the same.

My suspicion is the level of public outrage is less about some deeply ingrained sense of natural rights and more about what kind of actions feel familiar and which feel unfamiliar. Which is a problem, really.
> Blu-ray on the other hand... well, where do I start? 128-bit AES, key revocation, host authentication, virtual machine fixup tables, digital signing, Media Key Block updating, Java applications...

It would almost seem like most of the engineering for the Blu-ray format went into things which very specifically doesn’t act in the interest of the buyer.

Given the current state of things, I wouldn’t count Blurays as media you actually physically own.

You’re permitted to watch them, for now, but there’s no guarantee that will remain true 20+ years in the future.
> Closed networks like Tesla's and Rivian's are continuing to be part of the problem.

All new Tesla stations in Europe use CCS and most of the older stations have been retrofitted with CCS connectors in addition to Type 2.

I have an adaptor for my 2017 Model S that allows it to use CCS instead of Type 2 and newer cars can be converted so that CCS connectors can be used without adaptors. All new EVs in Europe already use CCS and Tesla are slowly opening up their network to other brands of car.

So how is Tesla part of the problem?
>the people who own movie IP rights are truly evil.

That is wildly overstated. The worst they can do to you is not let you watch their entertaining movie. Possibly even after you've paid for it (the subject of the OP) - and in that case the culprit isn't even the IP owner, it's the distributor! And honestly it sounds like the problem with digital ownership is simple fraud that is a) covered by existing law and b) too expensive for anyone to litigate. Maybe a class action could do it.

Here's the really interesting part - you're railing against artificial scarcity. Someone has a good that they could give away, and they aren't, and you're calling them evil for doing that, but I ask you, in all honesty, how else do you make money from movies? If you can't make money from it, how will you convince investors to fund your next movie? (Now substitute "album book software" for movie and ask the same question.)

That's not to say that IP owners can't be "evil". George Lucas believed it was his right to keep changing Star Wars over time, and it's impossible to find a legit copy of Star Wars that is the original theatrical release. That's some 1984-level memory hole bullshit and although the stakes are low, it's evil. Disney is arguably quite evil for a variety of reasons, e.g. it's unholy influence over Congress, it's unhealthy consolidation of huge chunks of the American movie market. But neither of them are evil for using artificial scarcity to profit from their work, because that's the only way to profit from data goods.

(Professional open source tries to square the circle by giving away the data goods but charging for (actually scarce) knowledge. It's a good model but cannot apply to entertainment goods, since viewers don't need scarce knowledge to enjoy a movie.)
I hope you two never break up. Put this level of ability, rescources, time and effort into revenge and the results will not be pretty.
The reason graphical notation works for circuits is that circuits are actual physical things and so there is a natural correspondence between the graphical notation and the thing that notation describes. A line in a circuit diagram means that there are two physical things located in physical space with a physical wire going between them. There is no such natural correspondence for software because software does not exist in physical space.

"Noisy, grainy, just bad."

AKA, it was shot on film. Film has film grain, which can only be removed by Digital Noise Reduction. DNR removes film grain, but also scrubs away detail and can leave waxy faces among other artifacts, as well as a fairly artificial and non-cinematic look. Film grain compresses very badly over streaming, so DNRing the streaming version before compression is probably what you are seeing. In this case, you prefer the DNR - but if you read online forums, most collectors hate it and consider it a crime against humanity to have ever been invented.
> The only reason why Apple keeps Lightning around is for phones and some portable accessories, and the revenue from those, and their certifications, is not something they are willing to dismiss. Technically speaking, if you want something as simple as a cable, you have to go through Apple and their MFI program.

The other way of viewing this is that by not switching (yet) they haven't created instant e-waste out of every cable and accessory manufactured in the past decade. USB-C didn't exist when they released the lightning cable, and they have clearly been migrating every other product over the past several years.

Seriously, you don't need to invent a conspiracy for every single move Apple makes.
I think the only option for that is flashing custom firmware, which i am not sure can be done on the most recent hardware revisions.

I moved to fly.io. My costs are about half. The hardest part was copying the database over. The data kept getting corrupted. Everything took about 8 hours.

Self-host redis, do not use their free beta app.

Also to the data you opt out of sharing but they ignore it and share it anyways.
ok, yeah, reading it that way it is a quite an appropriate metaphor
A design pattern boilerplate generator in different languages like Python and C++ is something I’ve been thinking of lately. It would be super useful for new devs at work too.
Government mandates on how you can charge your phone won't stifle innovation?
I think it was pretty obvious from context clues that they were talking about USB since it's standardized. If lightning were standardized then other companies would be able to produce the cables. I don't see what your point is.
I wonder, if you spend so much time writing fine-grained UML, aren't you already sort of programming? If so, wouldn't that time be better spent with an actual programming language with all the ergonomics and features you need?

It seems to me UML shouldn't be dealing with this fine-grained level of detail. It seems like a wasteful effort. Either design high-level, or get down to actual programming.

Need to take issue here, this was talked exhaustively about in a thread on reddit where a dev was leaving Flutter because of user complaints on this issue, the thread was seen by a team member then and taken up.
I think if you're going to accuse Apple of rent seeking here you also pretty much have to accuse anyone who develops their own standard or plugin or similar of rent seeking as well.

When will the EU ban HDMI connections to monitors or force Apple to remove them from MacBooks? Why are dSLR cameras allowed to continue to use micro USB and SD cards when they could just use USB-C so we don't have to buy dongles and adapters?

The argument that Apple only provides one physical port (they also provide Magsafe and allow other wireless charging options) isn't sufficient with respect to your discussion point about market-wide standards. This really looks to me like the EU is just saying "we don't like lightning chargers and since nobody is going to defend it except Apple we'll ban it" while they also let plenty of other "standards" run amok in the market.

FWIW I much prefer USB-C and I want my next iPhone to include it (along with any other devices), but I really struggle with the logic of the decision to force it here.
There's probably wording in the agreement (linked next to the checkbox we automatically tick before clicking the button) that says you're buying a license to watch the movie as long as the movie is available on the platform.

There are other definitions of buy a movie, e.g. buy the IP so you're allowed to make sequels.
It seemed to be in a similar space to Genode when I had a brief look. Is it clear how it compares?

A system that claims to allow you to configure it in microkernel and other modes might be interesting for comparison of the approaches, but I've only noticed it via a local connexion: https://project-flexos.github.io/

Eclipse is definitely faster than InteliJ on the same hardware.

It doesn't start indexing every single project I open, dragging the whole computer to its knees, it does incremental compilation on file save.

VSCode support for Java, relies on libraries from Eclipse headless project, so even when using VSCode you're in fact using Eclipse.

I am not freely touching InteliJ other than the workflows I am forced to, like Scala plugin or Android.

How to make “modern” C++ programs safer [video]
Again, I am aware that legally there's nothing they can do, but the point of copyright law is to facilitate making a living from art (let's ignore the House of Mouse shenanigans for the sake of the argument).

A service that is able to pop out a new piece that will be indistinguishable from the artist's style is going to be disastrous for hundreds of thousands of artists around the world. We can't hide, at least not in good faith, behind the concept of 'transformative' art.

Besides, there clearly hasn't been enough time for the legal system to catch up so arguments about the letter of the law might change too. If you look at musical cases you'll be surprised to see that the 'transformative' part is up to interpretation. Just ask the Verve...
Micro-USB was similarly enforced by law (but adapters were permitted with that regulation, thus allowing Apple to continue using proprietary ports) and that legislation had a clear and obvious positive impact for smartphone users. Don't you recall the days when every single manufacturer had a terrible proprietary connector? I think that enforcement was one of the best examples of a regulatory win in the technology sector in recent times. This is simply an attempt to strengthen that regulation and update it to a modern standard.
Yep, exactly that. The moment people tried to run pictures is when it all broke down.
