Thanks for all your work!

If you don't mind some off-topic feedback on the Dominion website - have you considered making the Tables screen default to "New" only? At busy times, that screen consistently lags for several seconds while displaying hundreds (thousands?) of running and finished games. It's always a pain to wait for it before de-selecting "Running" and "Post-Game".
> Well, Apple could just... let people install other stores.

The only way I would be okay with this is if Apple required any app you provide in an alternative store must be available in the official App Store as well.

The last thing I want is for Meta to come along and mandate you install their 3rd party app store in order to use Instagram. I don't even want this app on my phone but I use it to keep in touch with friends that just won't use anything else. It's not _necessary_ but it's nearly necessary.

I would never install an app from a Meta-controlled app store, and the first thing they would do if Apple was forced to allow it is launch their own and take Instagram etc. off the official Apple App Store.
That’s not what this.
This is largely about mitigating the damage that can be done once someone finds a memory safety error.

Things like pointer authentication, memory tagging, CHERI, aslr, stack cookies, etc, etc are all mitigations to limit what can be done once someone finds a memory error, and all of these things are relatively expensive costs incurred as a result of the lack of safety of the code being written. I am somewhat curious as to whether anyone has done a like vs like benchmark of “real” code with and without these mitigations (and i mean the entire system, libraries, and kernel because otherwise the benchmark picks up those perf hits).

We can then compare that cost to the performance gain you get from pointer nonsense, etc people do for performance vs comparable rust/go/swift code that is memory safe.

Obviously the mitigations can’t be removed (yet?), but I would like to be able to point to some comparison when people start talking about how much slower safe languages are.
Slaves used to be sub-human. Women were property. Eventually, if we as a civilization survive long enough, our current treatment of animals will be universally felt to be immoral.
They should have bought Roblox … they certainly have better games and metaverse I.e 3D virtual worlds capability.
That's great, I support that option for you. Personally, I just want to use the Open Source apps that Apple won't let me install. If I can have that, then there's no reason we can't both live in perfect harmony. That system works perfectly fine on Android and Google even manages to make a handsome bundle off the Play Store to boot.
What do you mean by “use”? I randomly will download insta, scroll, feel cringe and uninstall. Does that count as using?
This so much, specially when I think of my parents and older love ones, 30% is nothing compared to being in the wild west of dark patterns.

Reputation have a price, Apple may not be perfect but I can trust that they aren't going to deceive my parents or make their life more difficult when trying to use technology.

At least personally, I would much rather pay a bit more than opening the door to cheaper prices at cost of Apple losing one of their big advantages, trustworthiness.
This is what happened at Uber, and I think ultimately it was good for the company.

The story I heard is that Nikon intentionally crippled their video recording modes (29:59 time limit?) for import/export tax reasons.

Whereas apparently Sony and Canon didn't.

Edit: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/E-8-2016-00127...

So seems the full story is about the EU. Digital still image cameras (which were made in the EU?) were not taxed. Digital camcorders (which were mostly made in Japan) were taxed at either 4.9% or 14%. One distinguishing as to whether a camera was still or camcorder was "Whether the device can record at least 30 minutes of video."

The law was repealed in 2019.
Yeah I definitely do not want a VR winter. Meta uncoupling Facebook from the VR devices was a good move. IMO Oculus should have stayed Oculus under Meta's umbrella and have done its thing. When it went blatantly under Meta and proudly displayed its branding, it pushed VR / AR skeptics further away. Oculus had a fantastic origin story / brand and they stupidly killed it just like that.

With the tech's current iteration though, it is not there for social / business. They are far too uncomfortable for such use. Make it almost as inconvenient as my glasses and people won't be able to live without it, a transformation just like smartphones did in our lives. I need to be able to comfortably put it on and get going. People will be using AR everyday through always on spectacles one day.

VR for gaming and experiences is AMAZING. But very expensive. When I went from standalone Quest 2 experiences to PCVR experiences, the gap was HUGE. I can't go back to mobile graphics / experiences.

Anyways, I doubt people putting on bulky VR glasses (even the new Quest Pro is way too bulky and uncomfortable, not even close) to work / be social will not be a reality anytime soon. VR gaming is still kind of niche and is not a big enough market to justify that amount of R&D costs. So something has to give. Would be very bummed about a VR winter.

Thank you for the thoughtful response. Your explanation makes sense, but it makes me modify my objection two-fold:

1) humans+livestock should not factor into these biomass calculations.

Humans+Livestock are not meaningfully competing against other animals, in desert, in bush, or in the rainforest, because we modify the environment and make it far more calorie-rich: we farm. Even the densest rainforest wouldn't come close in # of mammal-consumable calories per acre to what humans can produce in farms. And the energy to farm is enabled mostly from fossil fuels, ore mining, etc - another thing that only humans do - we are not using solar energy to make or operate tractors, so not really meaningfully taking sunshine resources from other animals.

In other words, you can't lump human+livestock biomass, as if it's a passive consumer of ecological biomass resources, because we increase those resources.

Then, the only meaningful thing to compare is wild natural area displacement (like in miles squared) through settlements and farms. To the extent that other mammal populations shrink or go extinct, it will be simply due to smaller square miles we squeeze them into.

2) for the remaining animals, biomass is still not a good number.

> Sure, you could measure the decline in number of individuals from each of those in percentage terms, and then, maybe, what, average that?

Those intra-species population changes would be far more meaningful, yes. Averaging - no.
I still do not accept this idea that if you kill a cougar, then the ecology will support cougars-weight more ants in that area. That is a major unsubstantiated hidden assumption. Only animals that consume the same resources at the same rates are fungible like that. When a cougar dies, no more ant-compatible food sources pop up. Need to show species level individual count. Biomass implies fungibility.

Artificial Interactions? Because it has all the semblance of interacting with none of the substance.
I don't see how you reverse the pull and push. It's just the blades that are different, not the open/close mechanism. You squeeze to close and unsqueeze(?) to open.

The only difference is which side of the visible blade the cut is.

Criterion's app is nice but their movie selection is ... not great. I've watched a good portion of their films and less than half have turned out to be worth watching.

But this is no surprise. Per this quora answer by Larry Wright ( https://qr.ae/pvlbgP ) -

> Note that Criterion is a video distribution company. One may still wonder exactly whom makes the selections and with what credentials. Co-founder Robert Stein's background is in electronic publishing. Co-founders Joe Medjuck and Roger Smith produced such Criterion-unworthy fair as "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot!" and "C.C. and Company" (respectively). One must assume that they employ a crack team of film historians, critics and assorted movie geeks to curate their titles.

> one of my memories from elementary school was the teacher trying to make me use left-handed scissors because she knew I was a lefty, but they simply wouldn't cut for me.

People tend to damage the left-handed scissors because they use them wrong: it bends the blades slightly apart. If you apply seemingly-excessive lateral force to the handles while closing the blades together, they work fine. (Also, new, undamaged pairs work fine.)

You do have to hold left-handed scissors at a slightly different angle to cut, though. If you're used to right-handed scissors, it's a difficult adjustment to make.

For what it's worth, I live in a suburb of Cincinnati (thirty minutes from downtown) and I have 1-day delivery. I have to meet a $25 minimum or else pay $3, but the option is there. It feels strange to me that thirty minutes outside urban Cincinnati would be an "anointed urban area".

Sometimes the newer model has a feature you'd like to have.

Sometimes you've discovered something you don't like about your current model.

Sometimes outside factors influence you (deals from your service provider, for example).

Many people (especially here on HN) can afford to get the new device every year, or every 2-3. So they do.

I don't really know what to say, though. People gonna people. Humans are often irrational, sub-optimal, and easily influenced. Happens to the best of us.
Another reply since you edited your comment to add this:

Apple support can push a screen share to your device. Iirc, you have to accept it before it starts sharing.
Can you create an underground reservoir, say from an expired oil field, that is of sufficient capacity to create a pumped hydro system in concert with a ground-level reservoir?
I’ve seen this done for support. Apple seems to have an internal remote access tool similar to common VNC or RDP based tools that allows them to view a video stream of your display and send touch inputs to it as if they were physically using your device.
> we have discovered methods that allow anyone to enjoy this. This is great progress.

Just because we can produce (and consume) vast amounts of meant doesn't mean we must. Restraint is a virtue.
> the first thing they would do if Apple was forced to allow it is launch their own and take Instagram etc. off the official Apple App Store.

How do you know? First off, Google allows this on Android, and Meta hasn't made their own store on there. Second off, their revenue from Instagram is largely supplanted by an advertising business that Apple happily supports. They have no reason to remove it from the App Store. Third off, stopping businesses from making anticonsumer decisions isn't an argument against abolishing anticonsumer practices. We wouldn't be in this situation in the first place if Apple didn't unfairly use their position of power to impose a tax on all payment processing that happens on their operating system.

Again, nobody arguing for sideloading is forcing you to install anything. If Meta leaves the App Store and stops updating the version of Instagram everyone has installed, that's their loss. If Apple feels threatened by other services eating their lunch, they can always take a lesson out of Microsoft's playbook and start adding more first-party ads to iOS.
They're currently rated for 20 years of usable life, so you'd replace 5% of them a year. They're supposedly 95%+ recyclable, it's just not currently economically viable to do so since only cobalt and nickel are cheaper to reuse than to newly mine.
> Your D750 has an exposure bracketing feature and many image editors have stacking functionality. Of course it's hard to get perfectly aligned shots without a tripod

Yeah, since I don't have a tripod I've found it to be basically useless (although it's very possible I haven't found the right software). I have always assumed (possibly incorrectly) that the camera's physical shutter prevented getting shots in as quick succession as a phone.

The thing is, the camera has enough dynamic range I don't feel like I need more than one shot anyway.

JavaScript is the best language for application and API development.

People who have a problem with JavaScript need to get over themselves. JS is one of the closest languages we have to pseudocode (which is optimized for readability by humans). It has some bad parts, but you can avoid these and write very secure, high quality code.

IMO, the simplicity of JavaScript makes it easier to spot mistakes in the code.

> Actually, the whole point of the Confederacy seceding was it needed to protect itself from free market capitalism

The Confederates would disagree; from their point of view, they seceded to protect their "free" market - that being of chattel slaves - because their capitalist profit motive gave them a vested interest in minimizing labor costs to the bare minimum with which they could get away.

What the Union capitalists figured out (and the Confederate capitalists didn't) is that it's just as profitable (if not more so) to replace those chattel slaves with wage laborers, especially if you can get away with paying those laborers less than what it would cost to house and feed them. No need to care about their working conditions, either, since wage laborers are rentals and therefore (if you care more about profit than morals) entirely disposable (unlike chattel slaves, which had to be purchased upfront). Said laborers predictably recognized this to be effectively slavery/serfdom with extra steps, and thus organized into unions for better bargaining/negotiating power.

> The numbers don't remotely compare with the number of slaves in the Confederacy.

There were about 4 million chattel slaves by the Civil War, v. 1.6 million incarcerated today. Sure, it's lower nowadays, but not so much as to be incomparable.

> They are consequences of the government, not free markets.

They are consequences of the government seeking to save money by deferring government functions to privatized replacements competing in a "free" market.

You might've noticed those scare quotes I keep using around "free"; those are there because capitalism is at odds with an actually-free market (contrary to capitalists' claims); given the opportunity, a capitalist would vastly prefer to have absolute control over the market (a.k.a. monopolization) than to have to actually compete, because said control allows the maximization of profit for oneself.

> The US free market was able to not only conduct a war on both sides of the planet, it also supplied the British and Soviet war machines. The US didn't just win, it buried the Axis powers under an avalanche of advanced military equipment and supplies of every sort.

> [...]

> P.S. The Union also buried the Confederacy under a similar avalanche.

If I had a nickel for every confounding variable underlying those outcomes, I'd be able to bury the Axis powers and the CSA under avalanches of advanced military equipment and supplies of every sort.
Again, not really. Unless you fully accept that consciously or subconsciously, we have absolutely zero free will.
> this is called the natural order of things

The natural order of things is only important inasmuch as it is a stable, desirable order. Lots of things we don't like happen in nature: starvation, disease, rape, murder, torture, isolation, immense pain. If these things happen to us we don't blithely say, "Ah, the natural order of things. It's all good!"

People want to preserve the natural order because they like the things they find in it. These things make them happy. Also, they like security. The natural order has persisted, with occasional mass extinctions and other disasters, for quite some time, so splitting off from the natural order into something that holds no promise of stability and security doesn't seem like a good choice.

But to the extent possible people who value nature and stability of existing ecosystems are still picking and choosing for themselves from what nature offers. No disease, please. Delayed senescence, please. No freezing to death or drowning. Less tooth decay.

And I suspect you don't adopt a throw-up-my-hands-and-let-shit-happen philosophy in your own life. You look both ways before you cross the street. You don't eat every mushroom you see. You stop walking when you come to a cliff edge.

So basically "[being happy to be alive and reasonably healthy] might be at the expense of other people, living or yet to be born. Not that we've done anything wrong – just that the circumstances that make this possible for us might preclude it for others" is just applying this same foresight and judgment more broadly. The qualitative difference is that it is not selfish. It is the difference between "I shouldn't step on this landmine" and "I shouldn't place a landmine where someone else will step". Why do this? Again, the same old reason: other people's happiness makes you happy; other people's sadness makes you sad.

When we want the natural order, it's only by accident.

I also could not build an app end to end back then... now that I can, I don't have the same passion as I used to. I also realize that my ideas are probably not valuable or don't have any actually. I used to be really into that whole entrepreneur thing, visit Indie Hackers and what not. I'm aware even some nice salary isn't going to let you scale/be super rich. So yeah... idk I hope I find something or enjoy making something that happens to make money.
