The iPhone was released June 29, 2007 but announced in January. “On 7 November 2007, Opera Mini 4 was released. According to Johan Schön, technical lead of Opera Mini development, the entire code was rewritten.[28] Opera Mini 4 includes the ability to view web pages similarly to a desktop based browser by introducing Overview and Zoom functions, and a landscape view setting. In Overview mode, the user can scroll a zoomed-out version of certain web pages.[29] Using a built-in pointer, the user can zoom into a portion of the page to provide a clearer view”
Nobody trusts Microsoft but they kept pouring money into Xbox until it worked.

Google just wanted to half ass their entry into the games industry. It's a warning to Amazon and Apple.
Looking at the readme I really thought it was satire:

You are completely wrong, you don't need fiber and you don't need to be next to a datacenter. I leave in London but I am using it when I am traveling even to countries that officially stadia is not supported. I know people on unsupported regions that can play just fine through VPN! Stadia is a tech marvel with great user experience, just Google execs never cared to spend enough money to make it a commercial success

Hmm, perhaps I had a beta version of that. I definitely had it before the iPhone came out. Or it might have been a different browser? Not sure.

This is what CI (Continuous Integration) and CD (Continuous Delivery) systems were designed for. If certain tests exceed the performance budget of a low-resource environment in CI/CD, the engineer responsible will be required to fix it before a release can ship.
I'd consider Warhol's work to be essentially a remix. It's clearly different. It has a very different impact. Even though there's no denying where it came from, I doubt anyone wanting the photograph of Prince would be very happy if you gave them the Warhol version instead.

Legally, I expect Warhol to lose, but if he does it'll be because the law is wrong. We absolutely should be allowed to remix one or more existing artistic works into new works, and artists shouldn't be burdened with having to obtain permission to create them (although it's still polite to ask, we shouldn't expect art or artists to always be polite).

Hopefully the enforcement of copyright law, the chilling effects it has on artists, and the negative impact that it has on the richness and accessibility of our culture, will eventually encourage people to push for reformation of copyright law to bring it more in line with what it was originally intended to do.
Where do you see fanaticism in that comment?

I read it as not wanting a US style system. Which pretty much nobody in the world does, including a lot of Americans! So not that controversial...

We generally like healthcare to be free at the point of use. There are many ways that can be funded.
> When you mess up the repl session somehow, for example by starting a http server on a port but not storing the server object. You now have blocked a port, and restarting the server does not work. Or if you run something like (future (while true ...))

That's true, but how often do you end up in those cases? I usually end up with those one time per project, if it happens at all. Once solved, you won't hit it again. Once you know what can hang a REPL session or block a port you want, you usually don't hit those issues again.

> Try working in an ecosystem with fast compile and startup and you will see why it is an advantage

I have, Clojure is not my first nor last programming language I've learnt. Even working with language that has no compile step at all (interpreted languages), being able to edit the program in real-time is still preferably for me, as it's much easier to iteratively come up with solutions.

But of course, not all approaches are suitable for everyone, to each their own, etc etc.
Jitsi Meet is used directly in the browser. Like at this address: https://meet.jit.si. You can also set up your own instance.

A desktop client also exists for Windows, macOS, Linux: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron - kind of not really advertised, provides remote desktop control contrary to the strictly web browser version.
It's not really meritocratic. There was a clever study on this some time ago that proved female teachers systematically give higher grades to girls. There's a prevailing culture that women help women get ahead by fair means or foul, and that this is "moral". So it starts early and the result is a systematically sexist society Inc which women are constantly being given quiet or not so quiet benefits, usually by blocking out discriminating against men. It's definitely not that women benefit from meritocracy. Indeed what I've seen over my whole life is that many women are determined to eradicate meritocracy of any kind.

Reading this makes me feel like a super slow learner. I've experienced the "15 minute rule" before and for me, 15 minutes goes by so quick.

I might have a question, try to find the answer, find several answers and have to dig into them to understand the answer to determine which is likely the better one etc. But this in no way takes 15 minutes, could be 30 45 60 or more. It's like I get a step closer and each "phase" is a new 15 minutes and so a new question to ask.
It’s interesting because Warhol’s style is so iconic, that it almost feels like the rules should be different. You can’t look at the transformation in a vacuum, rather it involves injecting his entire artistic history.

> Do we really want our brains to be interconnected in a giant data mesh? Don’t we aspire to some level of complete privacy, fully off the grid?

Good lordy no, but I hate the dichotomy proposed here in the first place. I love the internet, I spend a lot of time with it. I also think it would be neat to have a more intuitive way to utilize it while out in the world or busy doing things. I want that, but I don't want the implied permanent connection, 24/7 availability, location tracking and push notifications.

Smartphones for example are a great formfactor for personal computing on the go, with intentionality and outcomes that benefit how you participate in the real world this could have been a real boon to everyday life. But the actual outcome has been very different, pulling people out of the real and capturing their time and focus on apps that monetize your information and attention.

If that's what we can expect from neural links, and I think it is, then no thanks.
Stadia died because the product doesn't make sense.

Stadia is essentially trying to replace a gaming PC. To offer this service you will have to charge users enough money to:

1. buy a gaming PC every 3-5 years

2. run it at ~250W for average play time (4-8 hrs a day)

3. pay for all of the bandwidth on your end

And then you can offer the user a worse service than if they had spent that money on a PC themselves.

Where's the value add for the average user here? Does Google get computer hardware that's optimized for games several times cheaper than average users? Is their bandwidth free? Free electricity?

Ultimately Stadia is trying to offer a service that's very similar to what already exists. They have to do something much better to have a chance or they have to have a stable offering that slowly builds up more users.
I’m from Southeast Asia and I have been a team lead before. There’s no issues for junior devs asking questions, the challenge is that they will hesitate to ask or clarify questions with foreigners.
Thanks for your thoughtful reply.

It is possible to be simultaneously cautious and proud of one's
children for quick adaptation, but it is far from common. In fact it's
rare in my observation, and the pride is misplaced.

These "straw parents" are very real and embodied. I talk to them often
through Digital Self Defence classes and have a first hand feel for
their struggles (while also being a parent myself).

> Understanding the technology and understanding its attendant risks
aren't [s] completely orthogonal, but neither does one imply the
other

This is a very interesting point you make. My opinion is that they are
very much orthogonal right now, and that is a major problem. Much of
what passes for "understanding" is shallow marketing hype, at best
dangerously incomplete, but more typically misleading, deception and
propaganda. I quite agree with comedian Stuart Lee's assessment of
Vodafone's guide to online child safety as "Mr. Fox's Guide to
Hen-house Security".

We are in desperate need of a renaissance in digital literacy. I have
called for Digital Literacy 2.0 as a movement to repair much of the
cavalier and avoidant half-arsed education around technology these
past 30 years.

Despite the likelihood that the implementation will be a shitshow -
regressive for many necessary forms of speech to challenge
technofascism - in the UK our "Online Safety Bill" contains much good
stuff in the margins and has my broad support.

I get the sense that you are neither defending bad technology nor bad
parenting. But together these the things feed off each other - and the
results are self-evident in depressed, suicidal, distracted states of
anxious acedia and nihilism so many children suffer today, along with
the frustration and confusion of parents who feel their children
"need" to engage in technologies and habits that are clearly harmful
to them.

EDIT: My main point stands though - that ot is unacceptable for
parents to transfer the burden of responsibility to their children.
That is neglect, however you frame the abilities and knowledge of the
parties.

> almost all other countries are a lot more culturally, racially, and religiously homogeneous than the US.

That's not even true in the developed world, much less so in the rest (where ethnic or religious conflicts often lead to disastrous consequences). It's just that Americans sometimes have a narrow lens when it comes to diversity: "they're all white (or all black), so they must all think the same, speak the same language, have the same religion, etc." Linguistic diversity, for example, is much greater even in individual European countries than in the US.
Comfy software is cute, and cute names are important.
The greatest trick the elites ever pulled was getting the media to convince the general public that violence somehow invalidates the legitimacy of a movement or cause.

Given that I know anything about you, have you considered if the job is the only important thing that may be going in your life? If most of the time in your day goes around work then the mind can easily obsess. Doing different activities will help a lot to disconnect and hopefully doesn’t make you go to the other extreme (not caring at all) but at least only care during working hours in a fun way if possible.
This seems a normal reaction
Damn. Now that I did that experiment I was reminded of my eye floaters. Thanks for that... My day is ruined.

Almost all of these billionaires' net worth is in stocks; that is, in their (part) ownership of companies. Redistributing their wealth is the same as taking ownership of their companies away from them. In that direction lies the Soviet Union.
> Breaking state laws is not the only reason for people to be upset.

Proven violation of state laws is a mandatory pre-requisite for a legitimate president expulsion from his office, "people get upset" isn't the same as the opportunistic power grab where democratic process wasn't held and due process wasn't respected. The US representatives were involved in the process to a degree, and yet you claim that it was the pro-russian puppet president at fault.

Ask HN: What stack are you using for static sites with a CMS
Hiya! I'm building out a static site that requires occasional content changes.

I'm thinking of building the frontend with a static site generator like hugo, and pulling the content from a CMS like strapi on build (triggered when cms is updated).

Keen to hear how others are approaching this?

4-8 hrs per day? Is that really how much time the average game player spends? (not "gamer", but stadia target customer)

I enjoy games but if be hard pressed to spend that much time a week.
But that's not the perception GeforceNow has. If I ask around what people think it would be then most of the gamers I know wouldn't even consider it unless they had no other option.

Games are already fiddly when it comes to latency. Adding another fiddling layer inbetween just sounds more painful.
Elon Musk and Joe Engelberger
There has been a lot of criticism on Hacker News about Elon Musk and his new robot.

I worked for Joe Engelberger, "the Father of Robotics", at Unimation.
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Engelberger )

Joe travelled to the world, visiting a lot of industrial sites. When he came back to the Danbury headquarters he would stop by my desk for a while. We talked about various "wild ideas" that Unimation might pursue. I was "just a guy in the research department" (there were only 2 of us) but we had great fun discussing ideas.

For example, Joe visited a brick manufacturing site. Bricks are stacked in a certain pattern on a pallet to let them cool. Could a Unimate stack those bricks? The issue was that a Unimate had very limited memory and there was not enough to encode all of the brick locations. We talked about using a PDP 11/03 to drive the robot (I had just got that working in the lab).

Joe was "an idea man", always imagining the next practical thing. He wanted "real automation", not blue sky things. They had to work, they had to be useful, and they had to be made in industrial volumes.

Elon is the same sort of person. He's not just building a robot. He's building a "real automation" robot, one that works, is useful, and made in industrial volumes.

This class of problems is hard. It is easy to be critical if you're not the person trying to solve the problem. Having worked in robotics, I have to say I'm impressed with his robot.

I could only wish to have Elon stop by my desk with these kind of ideas.
The historical context is fascinating indeed, but I also want to point out how beautifully composed these shots are. Most adhere to the rule of thirds perfectly. The pole vault shot - the least-adherant to the rule of thirds - still takes advantage of negative space to make the feat appear more dire.

At this time, photography was still working to gain the artistic image that painting had carried for centuries, so it's always great to see such artistic assertions on such rudimentary tech. Very pioneering.
It could perhaps also be that it would work without the trip for some people, for example if the depression was more like metabolic/chemical or something in nature, while for other people the depression was caused by their life situation or other issues and working through it through a trip would help.

So basically like antidepressants and psychotherapy, both work but some people get more out of one or the other.
Chasing casuals isn't a bad idea. Nintendo does it Pokémon and Animal crossing.

Stadia relied on casuals who happen to have a stable fiber optic cable internet connection.
I should retract the part about profiting, but it's there because, undoubtedly, given Prince's iconic status even at the time, and Warhol's reputation, it has a bearing on the outcome. Ultimately the moral thing to do, artist to artist, would have been to seek permission.
I had no idea and was generally fascinated by the aesthetics of these boiler explosions, title aside.
> There's an argument to be made that they shouldn't actively make other things worse in the process of pursuing their own cause.

To make such an argument, you first have to demonstrate how exactly is FSF making other things worse.

Of course, "not doing anything to help X" is not the same as "actively making X worse".
There's a reason why they offer a New Relic certificate, so you can prove that you've learned to use the product they're selling.

Yes, and that's why in Telefunc's world remote functions are called "telefunctions" to differentiate them from normal functions.

Telefunc doesn't try to completely abstract away the network: as you say, it's not possible to abstract away network latency and network failure. Telefunc is about creating network endpoints as easily as creating functions.

I'd argue that such things tend to happen when a mob tries their best to destroy your reputation by publicly associating you with crimes you haven't committed.
Acording to Wikipedia the judge told him to settle because he’d likely loose.

I think the take away here is you draw someone famous move the hair, rotate the head so the source can’t be determined.
If the source can be figured out it’s probably too close.
My advice: start working out a ton. Set a target and keep pushing it. Sign of for races, join a running group.

You’ll quickly build a sense of confidence and be excited about your results. Work will become a 9-5 means to an end and all the weird stresses will wash over you because you feel good. You’ll look forward to waking up at 6am and going for a 10 mile run and will go to sleep early in anticipation.

After awhile, you’ll look at the people above you in the soulless corporation and realize they’ve wasted their 20s/30s climbing an arbitrary layer. I remember going into my first job at Amazon and calling my girlfriend, telling her “These are the richest, most miserable looking people I’ve ever seen”. I looked at the folks that were $SDE+2 and they were doing the same work, they just artificially cared more and would spend their evenings and weekends working.

If you don’t have kids then you’re lucky, you have more time to spend building yourself up.

I guarantee this will work but there is a really rough 1-3 month period before it kicks in.

Start today: do 100 pushups, 100 sit-ups and go run-walk for 20 minutes. Do that everyday, continuing to set goals. Rain or shine. Even when you feel sick, hungry, tired.
It died because you could not access your steam (...or epic or uplay or gog) libraries.

Nothing else matters IMO.

It was good tech, bad badly integrated into the ecosystem.

I happily pay for geforce now which can access those things (in an albeit limited way - I think technically it can play anything but there are legal tings that prevent a lot of games from being playable which sucks for the user)
If you're unaware of how tender breaks public services, here's an example.

Hospital needs a new MRI suite. To them, this would cost £2m for the machine, £400k for the room, and £500/h in running cost, £1.4m/year. The first 5 years costs are: £3.8m, £1.4m, £1.4m, £1.4m, £1.4m, ...

But which trust has £4m in their back pocket for y1 cost? Even if they did, it's a large project so has to go out to tender. A capital-investment-backed provider comes back with a flat cost of £2m/year. They might have the additional cost of land but many of these [currently, right now in many hospitals] operate in containers in the carpark. At £2m, they break-even after Y4 and produce £600k a year profit from Y5 for another 11 years. NHS loses £6.6m over 15 years.

And it's not that simple because their £2m bid will be interesting but there'll another for £1.5m at half-duty that will sell operational time to private providers, even direct-to-public (increasingly popular in the UK) at massive markups. They'll break even in Y3. Possibly even quicker if the hospital realises it needs full duty and pays triple-rate to book the machine out.

So the NHS picks a private provider. They make a 5 year saving, and take an 11 year beasting. And at the end of it, or even halfway through it when they discover they need even more capacity, they find out that their old suite is now a support ward. Or managers have moved in, or it's just fallen down. The cost to build a new suite isn't the £2.4m it would have been, it's £4m. To get so assuming we would now need two machines, it's an £8m y1 cost to bring this back in-house.

The long-term budgetary flexibility required to go back to running your own services is staggering and something that is very hard to sell to people not looking at TCO.
In the radio domain, this is called beam-forming.
That’s amazing, thanks for sharing!
I've been in a very similar situation, and I hate to break it to you, but the best course of action here would be precisely what you imply is not possible. Quit. Autonomy is extremely important for personal and professional growth. Your psyche is correct in letting you know that the situation you're in is not a dignified one for a human.

With that said, the “patch” I've used back when I was in a similar situation was actually to care about the “smaller” things in my work. That is, things that aren't unimportant but are often overlooked. I don't know what job you have, but as a developer, I was able to start experimenting with how we do testing and deploys, improve documentation, think about how I would refactor the codebase if I had the chance. That gave me “internal autonomy”, so to say. Making sure that my skills that can't really be developed would at least not degrade. That helped a lot when I finally quit and found a job with much more autonomy. Finally being able to “do it right” while also having the way to “do it right” right there with me.
There is a very good wargame by Multi-Man Publishing about the Yom Kippur war, ‘Yom Kippur: The Battle for the Sinai, October, 1973’ (1995). It’s part of their ‘Standard Combat Series’ which is a series of wargames sharing a similar core game system. The system is approachable to beginners but still offers historical detail. Another game in the series is ‘Bastogne: Screaming Eagles Under Siege 18-27 Dec' 44’ (2009).
