Still not a single crack in its business. And finally making inroads in SEA and India.

A company that is beautifully packaged but arguably has lost most of its soul. And is strategically building up the Chinese Supply Chain and helping them to move up its value chain. While presenting itself as the defender of Fundamental Human Right.
I agree the quality of our environment must be a priority, but quite frankly nearly everything we do today was "impossible" ~125 years ago. The hyperbole isnt helping, it's causing people to give up and not even try.
You should be able to keep the piano’s humidity acceptable at lower temperatures with a whole house humidifier. Installation will pay for itself in a season if it lets you lower your thermostat several degrees. Some brands are more sensitive than others, of course.
Consider installing Sonarr. Even if you don't use it to automatically search for episodes (its primary usecase), then you can use it to copy over from your download client to Jellyfin and rename the files to something sane that Jellyfin will always pick up.
How is any of that related to subtitles not working right in the web client? The media I download does not require transcoding.
They're entirely free to do so any time. What I think she implies is that they can direct federal and state agencies to conduct this. I find that very troubling. What's the offence here?

Maybe the "hook" is some form of collusive behaviour? Or an implied threat from D to regulate or investigate said companies as retaliation, or interfere with contact awards?

All of which regrettably have probably been somewhat routine for "both sides" since time began.
> Well, Apple could just... let people install other stores.

So the solution is to let another big tech be the gatekeeper? If a customer thinks Google is a better gatekeeper then they should stick with Android. Nothing wrong with that.

> Do what F-Droid does, compare the downloaded binary against a first-party checksum for the release (usually provided by Github).

But my issue is not that something has been tampered between source and binary, but that I don’t have the expertise to look through the source and verify that no trojan has been added by one of the contributors. A checksum doesn’t solve this problem.

As for the right to install/manage software, I view it similarly to what the FDA is doing now to protect me from products that are dangerous. I don’t have the knowledge to be able to vet all chemicals that are dangerous to me so I’m happy to let them handle it. Is such a view considered insanity?

> All of this can and will be alleviated with Apple giving up their iron grip on the 30% tax.

In the end is all this talk about rights and freedoms really just a veil for the fact that some devs just want to make more money?
This is a really childish, uncultured view. Surely even you want to be more than just an animal grazing on the field and leave a legacy behind you can be proud of. You only have this one chance to make a mark on the Universe, however small. People in the future might be looking, either through archaeology, or it's advanced version that let's them observe the past in some way, if it's possible. Who knows maybe the past is measurable from the future. Who knows the Universe maybe a collector item and aliens keep dibs on it's inhabitants. This could be all a game. Of course this is all sci-fi, but the point is that our potential is not meant to be wasted.
A group of 10% of buyers in a market is huge. Definitely enough to drive prices up substantially if this group has significantly higher means.

In Europe we traditionally take a very dim view of using houses as a financial speculation item. Though neoliberalism has unfortunately undermined that somewhat. But Chinese investors aren't really a problem here. I think it's more NIMBY zoning restrictions that makes house building not keep up with population growth.
It's amazing so watch so many organizations ship poor software and fail to understand that there is a lot of value in starting a product from a simple user experience.

I don't think adopting Android would have helped them (they'd still be on 4.0 right now and a security nightmare, let's be real).

Same with many device manufacturers as well (something something most car infotainment systems and companion apps). Apple isn't for everyone (I'm an Android user) but they're one of the few organizations that is trying to think of software and hardware as components that should work well together even though they also make some hilarious missteps.

At this rate, mirrorless and DSLR cameras will keep getting a smaller slice of users and phone photography will keep improving for the 99% of people out there. Maybe that's okay.

I do wish my Sony AIII had great Google Photos integration.
It's janky because it was made 6 years ago and it uses CSS Floats (which are famously janky).

Here's a similar codepen I made two years ago: https://codepen.io/spartanatreyu/pen/OJVVQRw

It doesn't use floats, so it ends up being silky smooth.

It could be simplified with today's scss/css, but it's still a decent demonstration of how smooth animations should be.

I recently disabled the "Use hardware acceleration when available" setting in Firefox on my machine (Ubuntu 22.04, Nvidia 1080ti) on a whim and discovered that it had been the cause of tons of jank on my machine, often bleeding over and causing super low fps in random other application windows, which I hadn't previously attributed to FF itself.

Disabling that setting doesn't seem to have had any negative impacts on website performance...this slider is butter smooth, WebGL works fine, and 4K Youtube videos are smooth.
Great page. A few years ago I saw it posted here on HN and bookmarked it, and would play around with a few of the (simpler) examples every now and then.

Last year I was in an interview and something around writing a program to find out if an integer is a power of 2 came up. I remembered the example from the doc above and used that (you basically AND your integer with itself minus one, which makes sense because any power of 2 is going to be 1 followed by some zeroes...see below). I got the job!

Not to mention side-loading is trivial and doesn't require constant developer certificate validation.
You can deny the Signal app the address book permission and it still works.

Signal contact discovery is also the most privacy preserving approach available anywhere, using only the partial hash of their phone number. You don't have to share your contacts -- but yes, your contacts may share their truncated hash list, and hence discover that your number is tied to a Signal identity, but it is on their phone that the number maps to a name, not in any network traffic or on a Signal server.

We're really not getting any better solutions until secure MPC becomes more practical.

Witcher 1 & 2 were popular within the PC RPG niche in France. It attracted the same types that were into Neverwinter Nights, Gothic 2, Morrowind etc.
The article also misses the idea that Sony is playing the house in the ongoing camera gambling market.

Almost all digital cameras, mirrorless cameras, phone cameras, iPhones, etc - regardless of maker / manufacturer, uses Sony sensors.

The purchase of Minolta unified sensor tech + software development + lens development and formulation + body ergonomics in one house - something no other maker is able to do, probably aside from Canon (who also uses Sony sensors depending on model) and Leica, which borrows sensors from other makers but has their own imaging tech that they add.

No matter how much money any Nikon, Canon, Pentax, OM system makes, Sony will always be part of the supply chain of those cameras.
Amazing stuff. Very immersive. Didn't think I would ever get to see inside the pyramids and while this isn't quite like being there in person, it does help scratch the itch. Your tour gives a much greater sense of their scale due to the length of the tunnels you have to navigate.

Meanwhile I have seen them from the air while flying from Dubai to Europe. We flew over Cairo and I managed to spot them, which I was very pleased about and began my first step into unconventional ways of appreciating the pyramids.
I trust Google with my data so little I go out of my way not use their services if I can help it. Apple has a pretty good track record for privacy and reliability and that's worth something to me.
Smartphones are nowhere near mirrorless level. Maybe if you only look at the thumbnail? Actually even then they would only be similar in extremely bright environments.

I agree mirrorless cameras could do more, but I’m not sure if it’s worth the compromises (power, cost, etc). The cameras don’t need all the processing since they have plenty of real signal to work with. If they did use a bunch of processing, it would need to be entirely new techniques from what phones do since those are pointless when you already have a quality image.
The M1 Max (the highest end chip available in a Mac laptop) is slower than competition from Intel and AMD, though.

Yeah, that’s not true; it doesn’t even make any sense. And certainly not performance per watt.
> Every reputable nutritional organization says vegetarian / vegan diet is ok

Ok yes, optimal no. You cant say a diet (vegan) that requires artificial produced supplementation (vitamin b12) in order for you to survive is the optimal diet for humans. It just doesn’t make any sense. If our ancestors ate vegan diets before we had mastered science we literally would not be alive having this conversation because they would have all perished of anaemia.

> on top of that the longest living populations are mostly eating plant-based diet.

The longest living populations are eating diets that are heavy on plants yes, but not vegetarian or vegan. If anything, the blue zones have a higher proportion of fish intake than elsewhere.

And I went off on the bodybuilder tangent because the original commenter specifically asked about a line in my story which was to do with me hitting my macros and trying to find lean protein sources in order to do that. At the time, I was doing bodybuilding and CrossFit so it was relevant to the question asked.
What a fucking atrocity.
Zuckerberg’s empire collapses
Yes, they do, actually. The difference is that I know the Apple/LG brand.

Hey everyone, I am the founder of Simplify (YC W21). We have an extension that autofills job applications for you:

Our thesis was the same: we want to make the job application process easier for everyone, and to prevent repetitive processes. We're looking to build a common application for jobs, and that starts with making your data work nicely with all ATS!
Most of the laptops don’t have Linux capacity, 15” screen, and keyboard without a number pad. So far a MBP is the best I can find. The keyboard is a deal breaker.
Moral equality?
A more interesting/valid scenario might be something like "Spotify is using their dominance in music streaming to get too much of an advantage in the podcast market". How much is too much is for the public and politicians to debate as seen here, it's a matter of pragmatism not absolute truths.
Android would only slow these cameras down, they need to integrate ML models into their existing realtime OSes (utron etc.)
The lack of accessibility makes many of these simply non-starters.
There’s really no reason to not to at this point. Building websites with anything other than self-contained components is zero percent worth it. css-as-dry was a mistake.

People seem to be complaining about the business model here, but that can be tweaked or changed literally at will (and by negotiation for maintainers). As for intent, at this point I don’t think it makes sense to consider Sid’s intent nefarious —- look at how Gitlab is run.

Speaking of the disclaimer, we tried to lay out the reasoning and background on how people make money in open source:

https://opencoreventures.com/blog/2022-03-someone-has-to-pay...

On the spectrum of how people make money with open source, open core with investment has been proven to work and produce large sustainable companies that can compete with VC backed closed source (I say this as someone who has benefitted from Gitlab’s free tier massively).

There’s a trade off here. What number should the investor get, and what number should the maintainers get? How we get to an equitable number (pun intended) is discourse and negotiation.

Open source is unsustainable right now —- Github Sponsors will not save the maintainers with software used by Fortune 500s expecting business level support. That shouldn’t be the situation, but it is.

At the very least, the open core model encourages maintainers of F/OSS software to do enough business to help themselves, while spending some of Sid’s money.

We need F/OSS maintainers that know how to business, just like the beautiful conception of F/OSS by nerds that knew how to lawyer.

No, hopefully we can see these numbers stabilize at some long-term sustainable level, whatever that is.

They aren't at that level at the moment, with large parts of modern agriculture more similar to a kind of mining - resources are extracted, with insufficient replenishment.

The thing with mines is that they are eventually exhausted, and stop producing.
His name is "Joe", not "Jon".
The secret sauce to making accurate forecasts at 300 meter resolution has to be something more than “AI” right? I mean, there’s little reason to think AI should be meaningfully better at filling in details at 300m resolution than it would be at picking lottery numbers, no? Am I thinking about this wrong?
Also, they tend to cost water instead: the larger surface area increases the amount "lost" to evaporation.
Witcher 1 has a decent story and world (in no small part due to the source material). But the gameplay itself is some of the worst that you experience.

They could have redone it as a Carmen San Diego style dialog game and it would have been better than the turd they shipped. It's really quite bad.
Because anyone who chucks a (copper-based) rock into a standard wood fire will notice the copper that melts out of the rock. Tin's melting point is only 500F for example (one of the components of Bronze), while Iron's melting point is ~3000F.

It has to be the _correct_ rock, but chucking random things into a fire is an activity that all humans like to do. Its only a matter of time before some human chucks the right rock into a wood fire to discover Tin and begins the Bronze Age.

Iron however, is far more difficult to process. One theory is that early Iron-age was helped by meteors, as pure-iron rocks from the sky would be objects of worship to any human. After experimentation with the space-metal, they'd discover the incredible properties of iron.

With the "Seed of knowledge" planted in the human's brains from space rocks, humans would build hotter fires that can better process the space-rock / space-iron (maybe not reaching 3000F, the melting point, but maybe 2500F for hot enough to make it malleable / hammerable).

Once this discovery is made, its only a matter of time before people chuck _other_ rocks into the 2500F fire and start hammering to look for the common iron that's all around us. So the process is instead to heat the iron as hot as possible with your current technology (again: maybe 2500F) Then, you smack the hot rock with a hammer until you squeeze all the impurities out (while shoving it back into the fire to keep it at 2500F+ as much as possible through this process).

Once the impurities are gone, you're left with pure iron, equivalent to the space rock.

---------

This iron-age process (even for the simplest of ores) is far more difficult to "discover" than "chuck the correct rock into a fire".

You really can start mass producing iron when you can melt the darn thing, which requires a blast furnace. But "Iron Age" smiths were largely with simpler forges / fires and with the "hammer method" IIRC.
I think your point is somewhat fair, and I agree that advancing medicine is not a great sole reason to keep around our fellow organics. There are a few ways to respond to this, including such notions as having intrinsic respect for nature, and appreciation for what natural selection has wrought. But for one and most simply with regard to your anthropocentric viewpoint, the ecosystems that these species constitute are actually critical to keeping civilization going in a practical economic sense.

The theoretical human civilization that can withstand a global ecosystem collapse and exist on a paved over earth is perhaps possible with the right technology but also it is 1. very dreary and 2. much more expensive and difficult to maintain than just putting in some effort to prevent ecosystem collapse now.

Fisheries management is a good microcosm for the cost of ecosystem collapse. If we manage a fish population correctly, we can continue to harvest fish from it and get resources out of it indefinitely. If we do not manage it well and let the population go extinct, we lose that pool of resources permanently and need to replace it with another equivalent source of food which may be very expensive in comparison. Perhaps the local human civilization which relied on the fish will be unable to adjust and will also fall.
I moved away from Kodi over to Plex (later Jellyfin) for the following reasons:

- Jellyfin lets me keep track of what i watched regardless of where. I can watch half a show in my office, and resume where i left off in my family room.

- Jellyfin fully supports multiple users, so my kids can have their own profiles, there own "in progress" management, etc.

- There is no need to setup anything like NFS/Samba to share the library, jellyfin connects to the central server which stores the media and runs the jellyfin server.

Some of this can be done in Kodi, via a mysql connection but it is baked into jellyfin.

If i was starting out building a home media server from scratch, jellyfin would be high on my list.

Just my 5 cents.

So, you agree with me that most people don't meaningfully care about the bigger issue?

I'm not passing a value judgement on them, here. I'm just stating a fact about priorities.
Thank you for this comment - happy to see I'm not alone in thinking that longevity at any cost is a stupid metric. And more generally it highlights why technocracy is so dangerous because political decisions end up being made that are counter to human interests, based on stupid simplification like longevity as a proxy for a good life
You are spot on. Mt. Oread has 191 ft of prominence.
How do leftist states force people into wheelchairs decades sooner?
Having been inside earlier this year, you would be doing yourself a huge disservice not visiting this IRL. Yes, the visual fidelity of this is amazing, but there are a lot of intangibles missing (i.e., the sonic resonance).
Value is more than one thing, arguably. You kind of have to go back to first philosophical principles to unpick this. Which I guess is my point - if one's goal is the expansion and longevity of human civilization (which I think is reasonable) then it's not clear at all where the rest of organic life (which we compete with) fits into this picture. If the best reason to preserve it is "it's pretty to look at" and "maybe we'll get some medical advances" then let's just admit that. I'm only suggesting that this is something about which reasonable people can (and have) disagree.
I sympathize with the tension. These are the big questions I still had after reading your site docs. Thanks for taking the time to answer them!

We use RSpec, Capybara, Selenium, Chrome Driver. We parallelize our tests semi-manually, which is a minor inconvenience.

Recently moved to GitHub Actions, which makes it easy to cache dependencies (mostly gems), although it's not quite a pre-built image. Startup cost with fully warmed cache is about 55 seconds, almost all of which appears to be spinning up the container. Not sure what the underlying tech is, but that seems slow.
Are you on an old version by chance?
It's weird for a "changing fortunes" article to only just mention Sony whose rise with their mirrorless cameras has been a huge success.

Also it doesn't really explain why Canon is a "juggernauts" while Nikon has struggled. From a mildly interested observer, the Nikon and Canon DSLRs seems roughly comparable and Canon only has a slight lead in mirrorless (vs Nikon). What made Canon successful but not Nikon?
Yes, the recruiting process is archaic. That's what we're trying to solve at Simplify (YC W21).

Our goal is to modernize the job application process and make it as seamless as possible. We're building a common application that helps you both discover and apply to highly relevant jobs.

One of the tools that is powered by our common application is our Job Application Autofiller: https://simplify.jobs/autofill

With the autofiller, you are able to breeze through some of the most annoying job applications (think Workday, iCIMS, Taleo, SuccessFactors and more). Our goal is to make this process as simple as one click.
Is there a reason the cameras can't capture the raw data to be processed later? That would also provide more artistic control, which is desirable on a professional/prosumer device.

(I'd also question the "near-mirrorless-level" statement. My iPhone's camera is quite good, but my Nikon D750—admittedly not mirrorless, but a professional camera—is still on another level.)
From your perspective, you just made a smart comment that adds wider context on this issue.

From mine, it's something of a cosmic horror that people can think like this and be proud of themselves.

We are wreaking havoc on the Earth and all life on it; strip mining it to the bone for the shallowest purposes. And some people have this strange glee about it...

It's Lovecraftian to me. Like cultists worshipping death and darkness - literally.

Dramatic? Sure. But you're literally cheer-leading the death of billions and billions of lives as a strong economic indicator.

The fact is, we can't afford industrial farming (and many other 'indicators'). The bill is coming due for our lifestyle. Faster and closer every day.

What to you is "determination to enjoy life", reads to me as blissful ignorance - but only blissful for the ignorant.

Your second picture is a coal mine. Most lithium is produced via evaporative pools. Same process as salt.
Agree. And this is what they’re doing. Sony’s just announced camera leans heavily on ML for autofocus.
$15 billion makes no sense to me as well; why would you give that huge amount of money to some other company no matter how big and important they are if you believe that you search engine is the best in the world. That makes me conclude that Google has doubts in their own search engine and they are indeed afraid of Bing or some other search engine replacing them pretty soon and pretty quickly in the future.
