Some of the proposed substitutions, especially the view switcher, use opaque and tricky CSS, the sort of stuff that would show up in mailing lists of CSS hacks in the past. The equivalent javascript code would be much easier for almost anyone to read and debug.

Maybe there's a market opening for a tool that compiles javascript to CSS. :shrug:

For me, the answer was Linux, but for a lot of people who don't want to use a terminal daily, MacOS is the answer.

Not only do I use the terminal daily, I live in the terminal on my Mac.

I consistently hear from Linux users they wished there was a terminal emulator as good as iTerm2 for Linux.
Direct democracy can come with and without a constitution that says the wolves cannot eat the sheep. I like the version with the constitution.

"Tyranny of the masses" is a red-herring. If your constitution (and its enforcement mechanisms) are good, the masses can't do anything to the minorities other than make them irritated (which is a condition we all live in from time to time). And if your constitution isn't good, then your "republic-not-a-democracy" is going to suck for some (or even all) people, too.

I don't agree that there are "no right sizes". I do agree that we don't know what they are yet.

States are not what we have, states are one-sized thing that we have, but we also have villages, towns, cities, counties and even in some cases and for some purposes, regions. And while you may think that its fine, others do not.
It's Europe. Teslas are for taxi drivers, not the rich.
You mean WireGuard (in userspace w/ netstack) tunneled in WebSockets to DERPServers, correct? What sorcery is this. (:
There's always a risk. Of course it is possible people in Tesla have engaged in criminal behaviour. I dont think its a particularly high risk tho.

But others do, it is possible the full story isnt being told. In fact I would go as far as saying we can be sure the full story isnt being told for the simple fact that they have some evidence to base an investigation on - what is just not given in the article.
Great comment summarizing Apple financials, thank you.

"Zero to main" is the best resource there is about writing bootloaders. Wrote my first boatloader with the help of this series.
I'd hesitate to even call Witcher 1 the same genre as the later 2. The original's combat is just a blend of old school crpg and oddly rhythm games (with the sword styles all requiring clicking in a different rhythm pattern)
Thank you for your good faith reply. I agree with everything you wrote, but don't see how saving importantly regarded mammals such as polar bears, elephants, whales and dolphins (etc.) fits into the picture. If these animals and others no longer have vast tracts of wilderness to roam on an anthropocentric earth, what's the downside?
> "On any topic I’m informed about, the vast majority of comments are pretty clearly wrong. Most of the time, there are zero comments from people who know anything about the topic and the top comment is reasonable sounding but totally incorrect."

This "zero comments" part doesn't line up with my experience. Maybe what was meant was "on any niche topic that very few people understand that I happen to be an expert in". I consider myself informed about a number of topics, and also constantly learn things from HN within those topics, from people who are much more informed than I am. (But, I'm not really a top 1% kind of expert on anything)

Basically humans are a part of the ecosystem whether we realize it or not, so destroying the natural world to make room for power plants and landfills threatens our survival by threatening our water, oxygen, and food with pollution like microplastics, PFAS, overfishing, etc.

Not. This is a very common mistake among people that does not understand ecology.
Amino acids - it's suboptimal to eat only one source of protein. I suppose more so on for a vegan. Just as well no one does that. Of they do you're no longer attributing "poor amino acid profiles" to veganism as you are to the person responsible for terrible diet.

B12 - Animal products come from animals filled to the brim with B12 supplements, of which a huge majority of global B12 supplements go towards livestock. Also along with over lovely concoctions of antibiotics and drugs.

There's nothing wrong with cutting out the middle-man! Not least when so many flesh eaters are also deficient in B12 themselves. In need of taking the same B-complex as vegans.
I always wondered why Facebook didn't make their own search engine considering how massive their userbase is and how much technical know-how and experience they have. But then pretty soon I realized it's all about distribution; Google controls Web distribution through Google Chrome, that's what makes them powerful. They can always promote their search engine through Google Chrome which has huge market share among Internet Browsers.
Taking this from my blog post (https://briankung.dev/2022/04/13/how-and-why-our-kids-are-le...):

Here are some shows on YouTube that we self-host:

- 宝宝巴士 – Baby Bus: shows, lullabies, and nursery rhymes good for babies and up - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCttafJi4SCirZhlxsxISbyA

- 巧虎 – Qiaohu: lots of Asian-style life lessons. Qiaohu was teaching kids to wear masks 3 years before the Covid-19 pandemic - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnjadOj5qlKXsTAXPSwc67A

- 海底小纵队 – Octonauts: a show about saving animals in the ocean that our kids loved - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1HDrSeslwU&list=PLNR4cTkVmP...

- 小猪佩奇 – Peppa Pig: not the parents’ favorite show because the characters can be kind of obnoxious, but the kids like it - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRi0sw4PDw-C2C7fS9hrx5Q

Additionally for older kids, our 8yo has enjoyed:

- 叶罗丽 – Yeluoli, a show about magical dolls and fighting evil

- 小花仙 – Xiaohuaxian, a story about a girl with a magic bracelet

- 绿野仙踪 – The Wizard of Oz: a favorite of my wife's from her childhood. It’s an anime remix of the Wizard of Oz that was originally in Japanese, but she watched it as a kid in China

- 还珠格格 – A period drama about a fake princess

- 白蛇 – An animated movie about a demon snake and the snake catcher who finds her – EDIT – I forgot this one’s not a kids’ show. There is definitely a sex scene. That said, it’s pretty subtle and it went over our kids’ heads.
Game dev isn't my field, I always find it fascinating though.

Why can't Unreal handle something like CP2077? Could be an "explain like I'm five" - details would be cool but I'm not sure I would even fully understand them, haha.
I don't think I'm able to give a real crack at the "where does it come from" question, but an example that might be intuitive -- if you had a system of equations, like high school algebra stuff:

a w + b v = y
c w + d v = z

If you know w and v, and want y and z, this is equivalent to a matrix multiplication:

[a b] [v] = [y]
[c d] [w] [z]

And if you are solving that classic highschool problem "you know y and z, what are v and w," it is equivalent to the linear system solve operation, or multiplication by the inverse of the matrix.

[v] = ([a b])^-1 [f]
[w] ([c d]) [g]

I apologize for the formatting. Imagine any time I've got parens or brackets on multiple lines, they are their big equivalent that envelopes both lines.
I'm surprised the UI does not provide any feedback about the current zoom level. I guess the camera operator is constantly aware of where they are along the zoom out ... zoom in axis.

Moving parts (autofocus!) will dominate the energy budget, and cameras can fit much bigger batteries than phones. Running 24 hours+ isn't a problem for phones, and most cameras won't need network to be on most of that time.

I'm sure that's true, but people love their image editing apps on their phones, and love being able to post clips directly to TikTok.
Powershell works great on MacOS; it's my primary shell.

I haven't heard this particular incarnation until recently, but [cue spooky panicked voice] "the Mac and the iPad are merging, just you wait" has been something we've been warned about for a decade and counting. I've argued before that if Apple really planned to lock the Mac down to the same degree they have the iPad, it would have happened with the move to ARM-based CPUs and the macOS 11+ UX. The fact that that didn't happen strongly suggests that it's not on the roadmap. I stand by that. (I also stand by my contention that increased security making some things more difficult to do is not being locked down. My concerns about Apple's future directions have to do with services and advertising, but that, as they say, is another post.)

At any rate, never say never, but I would be surprised if Apple releases a version of macOS that runs on iPad hardware, even if it's running in a lab somewhere in Cupertino. I've been half-seriously predicting an entirely new operating system built around Swift and SwiftUI that replaces both iPadOS and macOS down the road, but I don't think that's in the near future -- and stuffing macOS on the iPad in the interim just seems implausible to me.

Addition:

You may also want to change the user running the container, e.g

--user=1001:1001

For hardware transcoding on the server, you also need to give the container access to your GPU, e.g.

--device=/dev/dri:/dev/dri

And check that the user running the process has the proper permissions:

$ ls -la /dev/dri

> So far I've been happy with Jellyfin with one exception - the lack of AppleTV app.

Isnt this a reason to be unhappy with Apple?

Jellyfin runs perfectly fine on MacOS, Linux, android set-top boxes and my Amazon firesticks....

Perhaps the app store and the walled garden is the real issue here?

Without an ability to "side load" the app Jellyfin is forced to use the store?

>all CSS no WebGL

For majority of users (chrome) this is a detriment. Google really screwed up GPU Accelerated CSS Transitions. Open taskbar and look for yourself. Moving those cards around takes >10% of my old GPU (~1050) but 100% of one CPU core (3.4GHz Haswell). This is the most basic possible single quad texture being tilted around and Chrome eats whole CPU core!

Its just as bad with even simpler 2D primitive operations like "animation: linear infinite" used for example here as one line text scroller under the video:

https://ustka-panorama.webcamera.pl

~20% of GPU and ~15% of one CPU core is being eaten by Chrome scrolling _one line of text_. Nothing on modern machines Chrome devs are used to, but translates to around 30% of whole CPU burning cycles on Thinkpad X230 just to move that text around!
Yup that’s simplistically true. The difference though they do allow you to choose when it gets released. Around where I live that allows irrigation of crops during the summer months. That water does not go into the ocean. Also around here many of the municipalities draw water downstream from the dam as well. A portion of that travels through the sewer systems, gets purified then dropped back into the river.
I'm waiting for someone to be truly brave, and come out with "you might not need react".

Again, this is quoting from the report I linked up-thread: https://emp.lbl.gov/hybrid. (Linked PDF with lots more detail: https://emp.lbl.gov/sites/default/files/hybrid_plant_trackin...)

> Data on plants under development from the interconnection queues of all seven ISOs/RTOs plus 35 individual utilities suggest that these hybridization trends are likely to continue. At the close of 2021, there were more than 670 GW of solar plants in the nation’s queues; 285 GW (~42%) of this capacity was proposed as a hybrid,

Perhaps I'm mis-interpreting this (not my field), and it's plausible I suppose that these projects won't get approved uniformly. I'd be happy to get more clarity on this if the report is actually saying something different. (I acknowledge my original phrasing could have been better, the way I wrote it suggests "solar that has just been built" vs. "solar that is currently planned to be built". But I don't think that's the source of your surprise, it's surprising because batteries are supposed to be uneconomical any time soon.)

Anyway, if I'm interpreting this correctly it seems like quite big news; I certainly shared your priors/skepticism on battery storage prior to stumbling across this report.
I keep my media organized well organized in a folder structure.
I either watch it from my PC, or my TV (with Kodi).

I don't want it organized for me. I don't want to "search" for the show/movie that I want to watch.
I don't like seeing the movie poster where I might only be able to fit 12 items on the screen at once, I want to be able to see 50+ items in a directory list.
I don't like/want all the Database back-end stuff that gets done in plex/jellyfin (IMDB lookups, rotten tomatoes reviews, etc.)

I use Jellyfin for my kids shows.
I use Kodi for my TV.

And the thing I despise the most, I dont' want to rename/restructure/reorganize 100TB of media just so JellyFin can auto-guess incorrectly the movie/tv show/season/episode.

All of the kids crap? Dumped into a single folder and Jellyfin guessed most of it. The stuff it got wrong, I don't care about.

My stuff, that's been carefully curated over years? Even if I just feed jellyFin the content 1 directory at a time, it can't get seasons/episodes straight.

I don't watch my media when I'm away from home.
I don't share my media.

A lot of form validation can cause anything from bad user experience to making the whole service unusable. Phone numbers outside North America are not fixed length. Addresses come in many formats. The list is endless.

We live in a global world. There is probably not a single site that can be sure to have only "local" users. Ask anyone who moved from one country to another or just tried to plan a bit more exotic holiday trip.
Did the tech companies in question receive federal reserve stimulus over the past 14 years?

I find it hard to believe that the businesses selling the highest profit margin products and posting the highest profits received stimulus funds.

A likelier explanation for how big tech got big is that they delivered something of very high utility to people around the world and it has low marginal costs and high barriers to entry for competitors.
Canon makes a lot more products than just cameras + lenses. They have printers, medical equipment, etc. Their market cap is roughly 4.18 trillion JPY

Nikon makes cameras, lenses, medical and consumer lines, but their market cap is roughly 529.86 billion JPY

So the Canon company is a lot larger.

Sony itself is even more Juggernaut. They make a ton of things and market cap is about 12 trillion yen.

Market cap doesn't tell the whole story, but you can understand why Sony and Canon are referred to as "juggernauts" compared to Nikon.

On the imaging side of things, I think the current rise of casual videography is eating Nikon alive.

Even if you don't have youtuber / OF aspirations, almost all cameras that sell today need to have some kind of video mode. Cell phones excel in this segment, being able to take short videos of people just walking around doing their day-to-day stuff, having fun, working, etc. In my opinion, video has taken the place in society that taking still photos had back in the 1980's and 1990's.

Anything that goes viral these days is a video uploaded on worldstar or youtube or tiktok or instagram etc.

Canon and Sony both have pro-video recording line (used in TV/cinema industry), and I think what they did was cross pollinated the video knowledge very early on with their consumer digital cameras.

Nikon has always been a "stills first" camera company. They did put a lot of video features into their cameras, but it wasn't enough.
>again, the only thing I can think of is sheer societal decadence, being so far removed from nature that we only have an abstract concept of it.

I feel like this is so ironic in a conversation about how we're utterly destroying the natural world.
Really disappointed to see Novara print this drivel, but it tracks with the greater “left’s” failure to see this situation clearly. I actually stopped reading after it discussed the failure of the Minsk Accords— as it totally obscured, if not fabricated the sequence of events. That was completely on the European powers as guarantors, and those who follow closely know that Putin wanted that agreement to be successful (even refusing to recognize the territories as anything more than autonomous Ukrainian provinces, despite their population voting for independence). Even Zelensky went to the East and declared that the war needed to come to an end. The Azov neonazis basically told him he would hang in the streets if he made peace with Russia, and that was that.
40k people move to Seattle each year.

Around 20k houses (combination of apartments for rent, condos + houses for sale) are built per year.

Housing prices in major cities are the most obvious and stupid supply and demand situation in existence. Build 100k houses per year in Seattle and prices will go down, and the same is true for any city that is facing a housing price problem.
next numbers on iphone 14 will be bad. the phones are much more expensive in europe than they were a few years ago. exanging my 12pro for a 14 pro costs me 500€$ in the US and 800$ in europe.
> The reason for this is that sometimes fridges immediately malfunction and the customer goes looking for another one, which happens far more often than buying one in the first place.

I don’t think this is true. First, I’m aware of probably 50 fridge purchases and none have immediate failed. Definitely an anecdote but better than your unsourced claim.

Second, if I bought a fridge that immediately failed it would be under warranty and it would be repaired or replaced with the same model.

Third, ConsumerReports.org rates fridges and none of the top brands report this problem.

> the rest of organic life (which we compete with)

Here is the issue: it is more than mere competition. We co-exist in a delicate balance with the rest of life, or at least we used to. Now we threaten to destroy them, and the planet on which we depend, exactly because of this implicit belief that we compete with them instead of relying on them.
I'm not sure that's fair to Olympus. For one point of comparison, the Mirrorless Comparison birds in flight test[0] rates the OM-1 better than everything in its price range. The Canon R6 and Sony A7 IV appear only a little more expensive at a glance, but comparable lenses for them cost more - considerably more in the case of long telephotos.

Of course, the OM-1 came out after the sale. Going back to 2016, the E-M1 II is, unsurprisingly not as good as newer cameras. It's notable, however that everything above it on the list is newer with the Sony A6500 (2017) and Fuji X-T3 (2018) being the oldest competitors to perform better.

Panasonic, on the other hand does have a problem with autofocus because it insists on using only contrast detection, while other manufacturers use contrast and phase detection in combination.
