> Video on demand, which supports any framerates, is now the main distribution channel

But all the major VOD services, be it Disney+, Netflix, Hulu,... still mainly use 23.976 or 29.97 fps for their video distributions.

I don't know what your production company mainly works on, but these NTSC frame rates ares still the norm across the whole cinematic industry, and it's not going anywhere. It's not limited to documentaries at all.

The YouTubers etc. do use 30/60 fps more often OTOH.

Then why does every permutation of every supported ARM-based product have a dtb checked in to the kernel source?
Very unclear what the business case for this actually is.

I watched all the talk, and it seems to be centered around the fact that opaque, vendor-specific blobs that run on hidden cores are a security weakness.

I agree with that, but to be fair, what segment of the market actually cares enough about this to pay oxide money?

There may be a business case in there, but the talk certainly doesn't explain what that is.
I'm in industrial controls/automation and also electrical maintenance, currently in-house. We do have experienced manufacturing staff in this country, most of them are immigrants. Technical jobs such as mine are paid pretty well, but especially with our aging manufacturing infrastructure (old, decaying plants) - which China et al are decades away from - there's not enough skill to go around and so we tend to be very overworked, causing further attrition. I guess my question is why can't we just import more talent/skill from places like China, just as we've done in science and medicine? People still want to come here.

The article isn't clear on exactly where the shortages are eg technicians, QA, forklift drivers, operators. The un-/low-skilled positions are again largely filled with immigrants as it is. These jobs, like agriculture (where I worked in a past life), are not for the faint of heart.

As for job security, we Millenials giggle dejectedly to even imagine that to be a thing.

Your point on the college-educated bias against blue-collar work is apt; even if it's better money many simply don't want to accept that we paid through the nose for something that doesn't pan out economically.

Not clear on the meaning of your last sentence ie 'movement is measured in a country'. Do you mean PRC being totalitarian?

Show HN: Which is the most popular article on Hacker News in 2022H1?
As the sibling comment mentions, these were not front-loaded contracts. There were some initial payments made for Falcon-9 feasibility studies and stuff related to ISS rendezvous and docking. It basically paid for spinning up a small team of engineers to work on those issues specifically. But the actual rocket development was 90% paid for by Musk, and no more than 10% paid for by early customers like Malaysia and the Air Force Academy. By the time of the 4th Falcon 1 launch they were out of money, and the COTS award was entirely inaccessible to them unless they managed to make it to orbit, which they did.

I remember this quite well--I was at NASA at the time of this contract award. It is also written up in the book Liftoff if you want to see for yourself.
It's very easy to make (almost) everyone equally poor; Communist regimes tried that, mostly with disastrous results.

I don't care about income inequality too much. I care about the two extremes:

* How bad is the situation of the poorest, can they still live with any decency if they honestly choose to. A society should care about that, if not due to its member being kind and humane, then just due to reasons of self-preservation.

* How powerful the richest become. It's hard to talk about anything like democracy or preserving liberties if extremely well-moneyed interests can seriously affect government and especially law.

If these two extremes are kept within reason, I don't mind if anyone makes 1000x than I do.
Love how half his face and such are covered by legal blurbs you need to 'accept'. Call me cynical John, but unless you are ready and willing to explain technically why Meta has dropped the value of so many funds and retirement plans, and also the ball so hard on VR, AR, and come clean about the metaverse being a total marketing ploy to manipulate more money out of the gullible hordes to sell ads: Don't bother.

Are you claiming the Americas were populated before the (current) native Americans came over from Siberia?
HN is a public square.
This is entirely irrelevant. In what way is America going to ‘become better’ by emulating European(a cluster of many countries) labour laws?

European unemployment rates are much higher..at least 50% more..than American unemployment rates. There has been no relative increase in wages in Europe whereas it has been steadily increasing in America leading to better quality of life index.

There is no comprehensive Europe vs USA comparison but this is a good read of how they dealt with the pandemic(most of the countries mentioned have less than 1/4 population of US)

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/world/pandemic-shows-contra...

There is no way to compare Europe to America but it serves better to compare America to China or India as USA is the third most populous country in the world after the other two.

Comparing America to 5 million peopled NZ and 60 million peopled France is an entirely useless exercise. Unless the purpose of the comparison is to simply pit western countries with a majority white population with other countries with a white majority…therefore ignoring comparable countries from the east. And that’s is frankly Racist.

China is more comparable to USA when it comes to economy than any other European country. But they are Asian, so it doesn’t count seems to be your stance.

Hypervisor has a core API that is shared across Intel and Apple silicon (e.g. hv_vcpu_run) and then each platform has its own additions on top of this (for example, on Intel platforms you can prod the VMCS). On top of this is the Virtualization framework, which provides a largely unified API to run VMs (dealing with things like screens, pointing devices, etc.) that and treating the actual virtualized processor as an implementation detail, besides you having to provide an image that matches the host architecture. The linked code here uses Virtualization.

I think the concern there is that these different failure modes are all given the same error/exception messaging?

Limit the degrees of freedom. If the goal is to learn a new programming language, pick an interesting problem that you’ve already solved (e.g. todo list manager, pomodoro timer, etc.). If you want to learn a new domain (e.g. networking), pick a familiar language. Choose boring tech for everything else—-things like deployment, monitoring, etc. If your goal is not learning k8s, just SCP stuff to a VPS. It can be crappy. Crappy is how you learn.

Higher density is not actually required. There are hundreds of square miles of unbuilt land even within 30 minutes driving distance of Palo Alto and the rest of Silicon Valley. It's just not possible to build there due to environmental regulations, government ownership of the land, and so on.

As for sustained decrease in residential property values, yes, that is the real problem. Voters who own homes won't vote for policies that let everyone else have a cheaper home. It is going to need to happen in some other state, and that state will need to draw away so many workers that California house prices fall anyway, and then maybe the policies will change.

It's normal not to be aware of the types when encountering code for the first time, or after a long absence.

Your described experience is the rare exception when working with third party vendors, on long lived projects, or with teams that are not trivially small.
No electronics skills, flashing of firmware, etc. is needed. Just order a USB relay board and hook NO and COM terminals to the power switch. Can be driven from a cheap Rasberry Pi or any other low power mini PC.

> That doesn't mean that Apple is the only one who knows how to write such bug-free or secure system software. In fact, in the past most of the popular application firewalls (and VM softwares) on macOS came with their own kernel extensions and have worked fine without issues, and millions of users have used such applications without any issues.

Apple definitely cannot write bug-free code, but your claim that third-party software worked fine without issues is factually incorrect. Third party kernel extensions have historically been a major source of instability and crashes.
I'm sure this is useful to some, but I come to HN more for longer-form articles these days.

This change might have originated when I ditched programming as a career, or merely growing older. Dunno.

> Outcome should still be proportional to effort and skill however.

It seems to me that this is an unsolvable or at least a very hard problem. Ask 10 people about what they think the correct and fair compensation is and you’ll get 10 opinions. It is difficult to quantify effort and skill. If a very talented person produces better results - with less effort - than someone less talented but very hard working, who gets compensated more? These are tough questions to answer.

this feels like the Cambrian Explosion, when multicellular organisms where just coming to stride, and there was an explosion of body plans, many look incredibly creative and weird compared to modern animals. It was as if evolution had no assumptions and was exploring. then after a few hundred million years, a handful of body plans won out, and have stayed stable ever since.
While not the most modern UI in the world, addall.com has been around forever and still does the trick well enough for me. Although these days I usually just go straight to thriftbooks because I save money there with the free shipping (on $15 orders) and in the long run for sure with all their perks.
> Don't be surprised if Apple suddenly forces developers to only use their virtualisation API on macOS

As far as I can tell, nobody has made a third party virtualization solution for Apple silicon nor is anyone really looking to do so. I don't think this conclusion is particularly surprising.
So… a build of CMake from within the last 8 years? Seems like a reasonable requirement.

I don't understand you. It's about George Hotz and the words George Hotz uses. How incorrect is it in terms of the George Hotz interview? Disagreeing with him and disagreeing with the article's reporting about what experts such as him are saying seem to be two different things.

It starts as follows:
> In a lengthy interview with Bloomberg News, republished by Autoblog, George Hotz, the serial entrepreneur who founded self-driving startup Comma.ai, has this to say about autonomous cars: “It’s a scam. These companies have squandered tens of billions of dollars.”

Which is likely accurate reporting of what he said.

Meanwhile, pouring money into something that doesn't work is par for the course in tech. Musk saying "it's almost ready" is a scam. So I disagree with half of George's statement there myself.
This article made me wonder... it has been shown that tinnitus has some remote relation with epilepsy and Parkinson. (It is theorized that tinnitus is the result of some uncontrolled firing of neurons in a specific region of the brain).

On the other hand, some good tinnitus results have been shown from "over stimulating" brain signals, including the thing where you snap the back of your head with your index finger.

So, could laughter/ ticking help in some way CS tinnitus? I'll try as soon as I'm with my wife. What if I get tickling for some long timeframe, could it have any effect on my tinnitus?

Memorization helps in the murky world of haven’t-quite-learned-it-yet. By knowing certain things to be true because you’ve memorized them, you can start to make connections to other things and investigate why those things are true. I most recently experienced this memorizing a bunch of stuff on intermodulation in RF (amateur radio). It had me questioning “why is this so?”, so I found a related domain: audio. Turns out IMD is an issue with mastering using saturation plugins (which add harmonics). Since I have some music background, this made the whole thing far more sensible to me. It’s really a process of presenting yourself with some disconnected facts, and filling in the gaps over time.
While Mastodon can be used for small server purposes (e.g. server-of-one) it is really geared towards professional use - providing a service to thousands of users and scaling up horizontally. Looking beyond technical requirements, so many of Mastodon's features echo this -- account management, reporting, moderation. In that context, I really do not think that "uses a reverse proxy in the front" and "has a database and a cache store" is a factor.
