Spotify also adds value to the iPhone, before the App Store it was pretty but kind of useless. Make them give both options, people can decide whether easy cancellation etc. is worth 30%, Apple can make up any losses it needs to continue the platform from the iPhone sales price (or they can charge for App Store access or whatever, we should make them allow third-party stores/sideloading regardless), people can then decide whether that platform is worth it over Android.
Having a mentor also means seeing the behavior and habits they've internalized. The main thing I learned during my junior days was that really good devs knew shortcuts by heart, things like delete line and window snapping. There's work behavior too, frequency of breaks. One of my brightest colleagues would curse a lot at the screen, then watch an episode of South Park every two hours. Or how they use note taking tools.

Debugging is a lot easier in person too.
The "sci fi" reference reminded me of a book which a designer had on his shelf. Now I want to read it:

How Does Ethereum's New PoS Protocol Work?
Definitely not more efficient. The only thing JS would need to do here is updating a 4x4 matrix. Everything else would be in the GPU.
how much has the total animal biomass and all biomass changed since modern humans evolved, and since agriculture and the industrial revolutions occurred I wonder? I know thats asking for like 8 graphs but I find it interesting
Politics is a critical lens with which to view the world. That's what I mean when I say everything is political. Politicization is a process. Do you wish for me to go back ad infinitum with you giving me topics, and I attempt to politicize each one? I'm guessing here that is a waste of your time and mine because we'll be arguing whether I'm sufficiently politicizing each topic to reach your standard. That's what I mean when I ask for your evidentiary standard.
I don't think I have an issue with Spotify, a music streaming platform, moving into streaming other audio types.

Afterall, Apple always had the Podcasts app and they make computers. So I don't think it's much of a stretch for Spotify. Perhaps if they branched into video I'd start to be concerned.

I quite like the fact that my music library and podcasts are all from the same app and I do find that Podcasts are less "in your face" than music.
I'm not so sure about that. On HN it can be harder to spot the bullshit because people can sound very authoritative even when they are completely wrong or clueless. I experienced this a couple of times with topics I happen to know very well.
As others have said, client-side validation is to assist a user with providing proper values. (Example: Did you forget to type the "@" sign in your email? Did you miss a digit in your phone number?)

But also, JS client-side validation is also client side, and therefore exposes the same amount of information to an adversary.

Either way, you need input validation on the backend.
remakes are great and appeal to gamers who may have missed out on a generation. I loved Witcher 3 and never played witcher 1. I'd rather keep my existing hardware and play a remake than pay for upgraded hardware and play a dud.
I use subtitles in everything I watch, especially new movies, because they seem to lower the dialogue so much and explosions are so loud. It helps me keep the volume at a decent overall level and I won't miss anything.
There is a AppleTV client in the works that has a semi public TestFlight.

I’m unsure how far along it is, however.
I guess I don’t understand , You can unpin their channels right? I don’t see any of the Plex stuff, just my family’s media.
I don’t think personally they will make the M2 Pro and Max MacBook Pros as 3nm as they’re due next month. I think you might see an M2 Ultra chip at 3nm for the new Mac Pro. I think they’ll wait a year before they release new M3 MacBook Airs and Pros which means you won’t see them appear until either end of 2023 or sometime in 2024. We might even end up in an odd situation where the iPad Pro gets the M3 before the laptops. Could be completely wrong though, just my speculation.
If I realize I'm dreaming, then it becomes a lucid dream, but a timer also starts ticking. I can't usually remain dreaming for more than 30 seconds (or what feels like that long).

I usually realize I'm dreaming because I'm talking with someone who, I all of a sudden remember, is dead in real life (usually my parents). They then comfort me about this fact until I wake up.

I could probably communicate something to an external observer for that brief window. I don't know how it would be useful though - I typically remember the lucid dream portion vividly upon waking up.
Strange, for me on Firefox 106 it is as smooth as Chrome (also M1 Pro MBP, 32 GB of RAM). Pokemon V doesn't lag either.
That's unnecessary sensationalism. Most of those vectors are behind an SSO login and are not exposed to Internet at all (from the article: "your browser becomes a Tailscale client, and joins your tailnet in the same way as any other device that you run Tailscale on").

Or, did you mean attacks on SSO? If that's the case, then SSH web wouldn't make any difference. Someone authenticating themselves could use regular SSH or whatever.

Similarly, Tailscale backend is already subject to the vectors you mentioned (API, side-channel attacks). This feature doesn't add any new attack vectors.

Again, attacks on browser means end of game already. Someone can use that vector to access to your local network in other ways. They don't need Tailscale's SSH web client for that.

For starters: auto-updating everything before installing anything (HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE default 0).

Coupled with uninstalling before determining whether or not the OS version is still supported (not sure if this still can happen, or ever happened on Linux)... fun times all around.
How does HTTP ensure malware doesn't show up on there?
Me with my one comment? Not at all, but there seems to be a lot of skepticism over official inflation figures, particularly for recent reporting.

Given there's usually a fairly significant magnitude of the variation on inflation figures depending on the exact methodology, I'd expect a similar magnitude for inflation-adjusted GDP no?
People pursuing whatever tickles them is what gives our culture its vibrancy. Especially for things that don't hurt anyone, we should encourage such expeditions.
It prevents people from creating derivative works. To quote US law.

"A work consisting of editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications, which, as a whole, represent an original work of authorship, is a “derivative work”."
imho, as someone who was almost a Ruby on Rails dev, because of gems, and the ease of adding packages. When laravel hit, and composer got popular that was a moot point, and php being more widely used on shared servers which was more popular w/ small clients for being 'cheap', I went w/ laravel and honestly laravel feels way more polished...

For example even now with Rails you need to role your own authentication system (95% of the time that's devise) and a lot of other things baked into Laravel you need to figure out on your own, and I think they've switched asset provisioning/build systems a bunch of times, laravel has a few but each one sunset the previous mostly, except mix and vite are kinda still both in production, vite I think will probably become the defacto before long in most new projects.

PHP is beautiful since 7.0, and keeps getting better. Before 7 and Before composer it was just a hackety POS, and didn't look appetizing at all, there's definitely sexier languages/frameworks out there that have 10x the reqs/second than php can get, but there's costs w/ that - and that's usually length, and time to market.
Plenty of people have the obvious choices covered, so I'll mention mine: Earlier this year I migrated 15 years' worth of email from Google Workspace to iCloud+.

Apple has been a rock-solid email host in my experience. They're not well-known as an email host, but they've been hosting email at scale for a couple of decades, or longer if you count old services like eWorld and AppleLink. (Fun fact: The first email from space was sent via AppleLink.)

I used imapsync for the actual transfer, which worked brilliantly. https://blah.cloud/miscellaneous/migrating-google-workspaces...
The handedness of the Google scissors seems deducible to me based on the shading, and the author seems to have disregarded the shading so as to incorrectly identify the handedness and therefore draw a nonsensical closed position.
It's a power move.

Because some of the animals are more equal than others.

A good analogy is dating. What they’ll allow you to get away with is highly dependent on how attractive they find you, from a business standpoint.
As someone who's used Anarki, and contributed to it (for better or worse,) between the two I'd have to recommend just using Racket.

All of the web stuff in Anarki just calls Racket libraries sooner or later, and Racket has better facilities for HTML and other language generation.

Anarki (IMHO) is really only good if you want a HN clone without changing much, or if you want to experiment, because it's still rough around the edges in places, documentation is spotty, and error handling is still a disaster.

The lack of awareness I am talking about also applies to electrolysis. The current state of electrolyzer technology is already good enough to do the job. Future advancements will make this a no-brainer. This is similar to the rise of photovoltaics a decade (which also caught many 'experts' by surprise).

Actually no, they announced some time ago that the next Witcher games (a trilogy) would be made with UE5.
FWIW I've never had trouble with the subtitles in Jellyfin on the Roku app, or on Infuse (AppleTV client). In fact I've practically never had any kind of trouble at all, aside from my Roku devices not supporting h.265 encoding.

Android TV (a Shield, in my case) did have bad audio sync problems with several common audio codecs. My bad for trying to cheap out, should have just gotten the AppleTV to begin with. Bites me in the ass nearly every time I try to save money in that way.
No. I strongly doubt you will be sued for doing it though.
Isn't that supposed to be something they're working on? I think I read that somewhere. Maybe in the 9.0 release though.
The last one I tried was Emby, sometimes during the pandemic, and it just flat-out didn't come up with a number of movies that matched the number of movie files in the directly I pointed it at. It also seemed to mis-match or fail to match many of them. Admittedly, I have a decent percentage of foreign-language movies, mostly in filenames with their English-translated titles, but Emby would often pick an English-language movie that did not match the filename exactly, while ignoring a Korean (for example) movie that did.

IIRC, it was even worse when it came to TV. Fortunately, I was running it side-by-side with Plex, so after about a week of trying to get it to recognize my entire collection, I just gave up and deleted it.

Your mileage may vary.
Love it. Going to play with some of these.

It feels a wee bit amusing that it’s about “you don’t need JS” but uses SCSS for examples. I think there’s something powerful and accessible about keeping the complexity to an absolute minimum. I’m not sure this page needs SCSS.
I believe Apple’s toolchain ship with this.
Yes, if a project is not in a fully-field-tested, fully stable state, but commits to it have ceased and the last messages in its dev channel are from many months ago, the project is abandoned.

https://youmightnotneedjquery.com is actually a great pitch for jQuery. I still use jQuery, I don’t care. For small things, the API is nice (except the $ sign) and they still continue to publish updates.
I find it funny that most of the true cyber powers are left off the list but India is considered to be “safe choice”. India may be poor but it is hardly lacking in engineering prowess. Apple’s own employees are a testament to that.
Yeah but that's because all the well documented tooling was built for Python as a first party language no? Its not much of a choice.
PERCENTAGE biomass in NO WAY reflects “the richness of the mammal kingdom”. It is a synthetic metric that scientists can futz around with enough to produce some shocking metric and get funding/press.

ABSOLUTE “biomass” is meaningful, simply because mammals have relatively tight weight ranges and you can estimate the individual counts from the biomass- but let’s be real: it is most likely that they start with estimates of number of individuals and multiply that by the average weight to get biomass. So- ditch the biomass and show absolute numbers of individuals over time. That is meaningful.
cmd-f "software." Nada.

Any story that doesn't note that camera makers should've begun adopting Android at least a decade ago, and that doesn't note how poorly cameras integrate with smartphones, is missing a big part of the story. I have a Fuji mirrorless camera, and only people who are very interested in final image quality will tolerate the poor software.

There are other forms of malinvestment too: the article says "While Olympus has doggedly pursued the Four Thirds format since the 2003 release of the E-1, small sensors have largely been ill-fated with APS-C both more popular and a better-understood quantity by the consumer." It's not just about image size: Olympus has had sub-par autofocus relative to relevant competitors since at least 2016 or 2017, if not longer, and Panasonic has similar problems. But these are sideshows relative to software quality.
I've definitely seen this, but I also think HN had a decent list of base competencies where you actually do get comments from informed people. Knowing which topics attract trustworthy comments is still tough

I'd say "mainstream" tech topics attract more uninformed comments because everyone thinks they know something, while more obscure stuff gets better comments (but obviously I could myself be falling for the bias of believing stuff I don't know about)
I think he's struggling with the question - why do so many people buy sports cars and SUVs when they drive slowly in a city.

Most people don't use a laptop much at home, preferring to consume media on a phone or smart TV. At work, most people use web applications and microsoft office and not much else.

So why do they need a fancy car? People like fancy cars. They have been buying them for years, and they aren't going to stop.

Now you are driving your jeep off road on your mountain ranch saying some people need an SUV and you are right, but you aren't rebutting what he is saying.
If this is ever me, happy to be called out. I'm only copying everyone else!!!
I talked to someone about a business that failed and he said at the end it was sobering to realize how much of their value was in office chairs.
You can use tailscale + WireGuard as well. It just takes a bit of extra configuring.

I use Jellyfin somewhat reluctantly because of playlist management. If anyone knows an easy way to convert between directories and playlists (as in one directory represents one playlist) I’d be very grateful.

I doubt there is any impact in reality, but Amazon might find it a convenient excuse to make some unpopular budget cuts they already had planned.
I grew up watching many movies in multiple languages I only partially understood (my mother tongues so to speak) and, as I grew older, other languages I don't understand at all. The habit of using subtitles kind of stuck. Plus a lot of English language media I see these days have is increasingly various accents in them. For example, I consume a decent amount of British shows where some accents can be tough to understand as someone unfamiliar with them. Even some American accents can be tough decipher for my Canadian ears.

Honestly, I think after some point I have gotten so used to them that they drift in the background and don't distract the way you may feel.

That being said, I understand where you are coming from, I am quite particular about the style of subtitles. I would like them to be white, proportional font, transparent background and black drop shadow/outline. Most other styles I find distracting but that may be because I am used to this particular style. For example I don't like Youtube's default translucent background for the subtitles.
People distrust institutions more than ever because we have an ever-increasing parade of conclusive proof that they will lie, cheat, and generally do whatever it takes to get the result they want, truth and law be damned.

In other words, because we're not as thick as we look.
This gets posted once a month and everyone who dislikes JS is like YEAA but the reality is these are great for simple websites / apps but once your app starts getting more complex all of these components will start to need to do more things like on click interactions or interacting with other parts of the page or the backend and you'll end up porting it to JS anyway

JS is a fine tool for making rich, interactive UIs in the browser and IMO avoiding it at all costs shouldn't be a priority
Hey, don't let me tell you how to run your website, but it took me a while to realize that I should scroll. You could add a little "scroll down ↓" indicator that fades in after a bit.
How is that? All of these things are still problems once the company has said "hey, we received your resume, and now we want you to do something more":

> They could have just found someone and not yet taken the ad down.

> They could be about to receive an application from someone even better than you.

> They (or their system) might have some inherent bias against you

> When you're applying for a job it's just not feasible to go around doing HARD programming questions every time, because for so many reasons out of your control the company might just ignore you.

> you have no idea if the company is going to be interested at all

Most of those responses are going to candidates the company would never even consider hiring, because the initial filter is so worthless.
It worries me we're discussing gpus when it comes to an image slider.

Typically because you are trying to play media with codecs that aren't supported by your browser, and transcoding is either not working or working suboptimally. Native clients (like MPV, VLC, or the desktop app) tend to have better codec support and support decoding the native media stream directly.

Some people work around this by making sure they only store supported codecs, either by being selective with media or offline transcoding (which can be instrumented with software like https://github.com/HaveAGitGat/Tdarr).

There's nothing "magic" here. Your options regardless of software are inherently:

1. Make sure to only store and stream supported media (as explained above)

2. Do the decoding and playback in a capable client (like mentioned above you can make it fairly seamlessly with the web client together with jellyfin-mpv-shim)

3. Live transcoding (may require tweaking drivers and codecs on your server; significantly increases server hardware requirements and load)

I can't, because--and this is key--Spotify refuses to implement IAP! To implement IAP would drastically undermine their case, eliminating huge swathes of the linked page.

Yes, it's dumb that they're not allowed to link to the website for people to purchase directly. I would prefer that they handle it like "login with Apple," where you can support others, but must support Apple alongside. I would always choose IAP, others could click and go through the extra steps to buy directly from Spotify. But it also isn't that hard to deal with. Amazon does it for ebooks, and people still buy ebooks from Amazon by going to the website.

Spotify is throwing a fit because they don't want to even allow IAP. They want the advantages of being on iOS with zero consideration of Apple or iOS users. Apple is going too far, but if I have to choose, I side with Apple here, because Spotify is throwing a dishonest tantrum.
My hearing is mostly OK though a little spotty especially when tired or otherwise not entirely paying attention. Some sound mixes make it quite hard to clearly make out voices in some situations, so I occasionally need subs for that. Also I sometimes watch TV while on the treadmill. Sometimes I prefer subtitles to headphones, especially with the noisy old treadmill I've got at home.

I also have some friends for whom English is a second or third language, despite being very good with the language generally they sometimes have trouble, for instance with strong accents or bad sound mixes, so find subtitles (in English) useful.
Technically a lot of that is is off topic, but rules are selectively enforced (via community at least)
