The answer goes back even further than my time in photography, which was over ten years ago at the transition from film to digital and DSLR video. Before digital, part of the answer was sports photographers all switching to Canon for autofocus. Before that, it was more of an even playing field with cameras (read: marketing). Back then however, Nikon had a semiconductor manufacturing machine business that supplemented their camera division.

Incidentally, Canon stumbled, in a fashion, onto DSLR video. They apparently only added video after years of suggestions from media photographers. And then at first they got the frame rate wrong. A year or so later, the deigned to fix the bug and of course the rest is history: jillions of their lenses, and DSLR bodies, sold to established and aspiring video/film shooters alike.

Meanwhile, Nikon clung to their roots trying to sell cameras to photographers and never overcame the Canon sports hegemony and video windfall. They had awful software and were even less responsive to the changing market than Canon was.

Most of this is dredged up from memory. For details, and data, go back ten or 20 years on https://bythom.com/
So your definition of standard USB C cable includes nonstandard USB C cables?
It’s insane that so much of the world’s leadership is geriatric and doesn’t have to pay the consequences of their (in)action.

Frankly we might as well put out an advisory to not have any children after 2023, they’ll just die in sadness. It’s really disgusting.
It felt like the VR push was meant to distract from the cracks in their existing business. You've got the regulatory risk factors (angry politicians who tease pulling Section 230 or more targeted regulations), the diminishing new-user growth combined with an increasing appearance of uncoolness and demographic aging, and a strategy which feels like they don't know how to revitalize their base product. Let's shed all that baggage by changing our names and moving into a different ecosystem!

On its face, VR seemed like a good distraction. The tech feels like it's within grasping distance, and it presented the chance for them to appear leading-edge and cool again. The problem is that they went in too fast, at huge expense, and have not been very good with messaging. Thje fact people are conflating whatever mess Horizon Worlds is with their entire VR vision is a crime of messaging as much as anything.

TBH, VR today is where home computers were in 1979. People are buying them, but as hobbyists and enthusiasts or novelty seekers. The market is not mature yet, most of what's available sucks for a wide variety of technical and learning-process reasons, and we're still waiting for the real killer app that makes previously uninterest consumers storm the Best Buy. Meta probably doesn't have it in their plans. Hell, Apple and Valve probably don't have it either. The industry needs to get to the VisiCalc moment, and I suspect the way to do that is to stick to cheap, rapidly iterating hardware, and focusing their efforts on dev support and maybe some infrastructural stuff, rather than trying to headline the software market and ending up being the butt of jokes about "legs coming soon".

That would leave a lot of cash in the coffers so that when they see things that look promising, they can just roll up dump trucks full of cash to developers. Let them be the R&D because they're not going to be beholden to whatever constraints your internal teams have.
I have both Galaxy Z Fold3 and iPhone 13 mini. Flashlight on Galaxy is really great. On settings, set double click power button to launch flashlight (perhaps most people use it to quick launch camera). It's really quick even compared to other Android phones I have ever. It's sad that it's not possible on iPhone, because mini is handy so suitable for flashlight.
What? Anyway the point is that fur was at one point, not that long ago, quite common and fashionable, and now most people have never even seen a fur coat. This could be simply fashion (we dress a lot less formally now in general) but IMO you can also trace it pretty directly to PETA throwing paint on people wearing them. Why buy an expensive fur if somebody is just going to ruin it with paint or, worse, you just look like an asshole wearing it?

I, like many, have read that porn drives most technology changes. If this is true, where's the porn in the metaverse?

There was one reporter, a woman, whos graphical image was groped, so that is weird. Will you be able to be convicted of actual crime in the metaverse? If you destroy someone else's character, can you be put into actual jail? If you grope a woman online, can you be put in jail?

Like in reddit or here, if you say something they don't like, can you be kicked off of the metaverse?

Do you have to give your actual information, real life info, to be on the metaverse? For 100% sure I would never do this.

There are a lot of problems with the whole thing in my view.
Meta had their quarterly earnings report this week.

Okay? I'm sorry you can't use tools as they are intended. I'm sorry you can't fit tools to their purpose. I'm sorry you treat everything like a nail. What do you want me to tell you...?

It's called MythTV. Not MythMusic, or MythMediaJackOfAllTrades. I feel that is intentional per the developers motivations. Similarly, the developers of Jellyfin are primarily motivated by TV and movie sources. I'd love if they better supported music so that my music video library can have proper tags, but I won't grill them since the TV and movie side is quite good, and Navidrome does plenty for me.

> As for the decade, do you work at being a jerk, or does it come naturally?

Imagine being offended over the easiest joke possible. Is this your first time on the internet, kiddo? That was also a joke, don't lose your head.

> I'd point out that jellyfin is a fork of Emby, which is a rebrand of MediaBrowser -- first released in 2000. Mythtv's initial release was in 2004.

Now, imagine if you had the self awareness that your know-it-all tendencies are what make you unlikeable in the real world. You'd get so much further!

> I use emacs too. Does that make me an asshole as well?

I use VIM. Should I have put a trigger warning before telling you? You sure seem sensitive enough to need one.

I made a suggestion to use a tool better suited to the task. Throwing a fit about a stranger's suggestion is entirely up to you.
100% And um, may I include Adobe in this generalization?
Yes let's have engineers that work on an in-car OS and a website that could be created on WordPress assess another company's product that is globally distributed and one of the most highly trafficked sites in the world.

HN confuses me sometimes. So we are against FB because it "spreads extremism", yet we're claiming that any and all moderation is a violation of free speech. Wat?
Dev API service - 50-60 hours including UI. I did that in 2019 (4 digit MRR)

Replica of the above one but lighter version 10 hrs. Built in 2020 (4 digit MRR)

There are different views on what freedom means.

In my experience, and I used to run a "freedom of speech" channel back in IRC many years ago where I allowed anything as long as it wasn't illegal. These sort of measures end up restricting freedom of speech much more than enabling it. The reason is very simple, if people are allowed to say anything; then harassment becomes the norm and because a lot of the targets of these harassment are more sensitive then they end up leaving. You might think this is okay, but I tend to disagree, as I believe when people harass others out of a platform that it constitutes a form of violence.

Of course, I think this is actually a very complicated subject. And that's precisely my point on why I believe we need to have better conversations on what do we actually want. But as things stand now, this conversation is always reduced to what Elon Musk now thinks should happen. To me, this form of monarchic governance is sub-par to what is required for a platform as big as twitter.
> https://foundation.rust-lang.org/ 15,000

With all due respect, they don't need this money. Rust is a great project, and deserving, but they already have plenty of sponsors.

I would have rather seen 150 x $100 go to smaller projects. So much great software is being written, by people who are barely scraping by, and even $100 could be the motivation for someone to finish something widely useful.
Your post says:

> there are differences in productivity, as you'd expect, but even
> the more-commonly-cited "10x" is bullshit.

and then you continue with the quoted statement that the comparison is between "normal, professional programmers" and someone 10x better than that.

However, that is not the standard meaning of "10x programmer". That term refers to someone 10x better than the worst programmer.

That’s kind of the point. Just because it has the same connector it’s not the “same thing”.
I argue Fold is a real significant improvement in this decade for who need. There's no other way to have tablet on my pocket. Flip seems to just a gimmick for me.
thanks.dev sounds pretty shady. They seem to collect donations for projects on their behalf without telling them. So while you think you are donating to some dependency you really are giving the money to thanks.dev where they can hold onto the money until someone realizes their project has more than the minimum amount. The FAQ says that if people don't withdraw the money within 3 months it just gets sent to other people. This means that someone could donate $100 to a project and then that money ends up never making it to the author of the project. Or if you have a small project your donations never reach enough for you to withdraw them.

The article mentions that thanks.dev has a global blacklist of people who you can't donate to. This means they have the power to make certain dependencies get a bigger share of the money that is being donated.
Those are all part of the “standard” as far as the EU “mandate” is concerned and it does nothing to address the issue.

You can like or hate Elon Musk but it is not going to happen. It is really hard for tech giants to die, if companies that were run way worse didn't die, Twitter is not going to die. And he has experience of running tech companies anyway.
The so called gimmicks is progress, how would you know what sticks if you don't try?

And it was one of the best features of android.

Apple makes boring product, that makes it easy for app developers to test (recently less so).

AFAIR Android has still more de ices.

Android is more of a power user device (you can do more, you can root it, think hack as in hacker news).

From power user perspective iPhone is like Windows and Android like Linux.
Every politician uses twitter. Every politician's speech is dictated by what their followers believe, it is in many cases the most direct form of communication they have with their constituents. I don't like this situation, but it is our reality.

And not just politicians, but as others have said, everyone in any sort of position of power is bound to have twitter. From corporations to personalities. Of course, there are other social medias but a lot of the speech and discussions that happen in the world are somewhat mediated by twitter.
I don't blame noncompliant cables on the standard. Why would I?

Your first link has one answer that starts with "likely because it’s not usbC"

Your second link just seems like ass covering? The only complaints I can find of those not charging seem to be unrelated to the cable used.

Four out of seven is MOST. "Parts of 2" is all that is required, because you used OR. And realistically, it meets 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7.

"Community consensus that it is a roguelike" is not a real definition, anyway. Did you think yourself particularly clever for coming up with that one?

Anyway, thank you for proving my point. Your inability to adequately "roguelike" demonstrates that, as I have been saying, it doesn't actually mean anything the way people use it.
> There are plenty of people I would say are more important/valuable than me.

So by this thinking humans are not interchangeable?

> And I can imagine species that would be more important/valuable than humans; they just don't seem to exist here and now.

Really? You think the single celled organisms and plants responsible for producing oxygen, those responsible for decay, even those present within the digestive tracks of all animals, are not more important/valuable than humans?

>But the boundaries within humanity are a lot narrower and I wouldn't be confident enough to label any humans as less important/valuable than me the way I would talk about a random non-endangered rodent.

Sorry I'm confused, your first quote says there are plenty of people you'd say are more impotant/valuable than you. How do you square that statement with this one? What is the range of variation within human capability that is allowed for equal consideration, but which excludes nonhuman animals? What are the boundaries of that variation defined by if not, honestly, by ex post facto rationalization?

> Well I think "hibernate" and "eggs" are dumb metrics.

Why are they any more objectively dumb than any other capability?

> But we can replicate most feats with some prep time, even if you use a big list of unique abilities that humans need technology for.

Huh? At this point in time humans are incapable of any of the things I listed. You'll need to show proof that we are capable of these things even with all of our technological ability. As of right now it's just kind of handwaving "with the power of technology, at some indeterminate point in the future, anything is possible!" when facts don't bear that out, as we have yet to have any immortal humans, and may never have them.

> Even taking bias into account, I think the bias would have to be ridiculously large to overcome the strength of the answer.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by the strength of the answer. I do think it's self evident that the bias is ridiculously large though.
Outdoor unit makes noise, but noise travels up and out, not over. Problem is vibrations. Screw a metal vibrating thing into a concrete pad, vibrations travel through pad into ground, across the ground, vibrating the foundation, walls, glass, etc. of neighboring home. Rubber grommets between the metal and the concrete pad mitigates vibration. It's actually supposed to be there for all metal feet screwed into pad, but you rarely see it, causing unnecessary low frequency noise pollution, and the vibrations themselves, as far as vibrations go, are bad vibrations.
You can see it from any angle, with an infinite number of added effects possible.
Because less people are now in control of the decisions. In theory, a public company is controlled by its shareholders who are the ones that choose the board. Now the company is privately owned, meaning there are less owners than before.

Less democracy means less people are in control of the decisions, that is precisely what has happened.
Yes, it does do that.

> you are complaining that they are trying to get paid for their work

I got nothing against you or anyone else getting paid. I'm complaining about the general lack of respect. People act as if they own my attention and can sell it off to the highest bidder. Blockers are merely self defense against these hostile websites.

> Attention is not something you actively control

It's still mine and nobody has any business selling it off for money. If they try, I'll stop them.
Yes, of course. Off-river pumped hydro involves two reservoirs.
> Zuckerberg's name is synonymous with Facebook/Meta

With creating Facebook - maybe. But with trust to Facebook - I know many regular people who uses FB to run all kinds of local groups, and I never heard from one of the "we use FB because we trust Zuckerberg". His name may come up when something is not working or when people get randomly banned for nothing, but never in the context of trust. And, TBH, I can't remember anything Zuckerberg has ever done to make people trust FB more as a company.

PS: Oh, and nobody gives a flying about "Meta". The idea that people are itching for bad-graphics boring super-expensive gadget that would allow them to do something they never wanted to do... that's why this company is in trouble.

> VR is immature but will be a big deal once it lowers in cost

What do you mean by that? It's bad now because it's expensive? I think it's bad now because the tech is not ready (bulky, low resolution, low quality graphics, causes nausea, etc) and because Meta's value prop is incoherent. Team meetings in VR? Catching up with friends in VR? Having legs in VR? (How many people does this appeal to?) If it was 100x cheaper now do you think it would have been much more popular?

The most important stuff is generally stuff to be memorized, which takes longer than just copying it once but means it's always there when you need it. Even if you only partially memorize it, you remember "oh yeah, there is that one idea..." And the tricks to memorizing are basically forms of "monkey-see-monkey-do". Involve more muscles and sensory info. Add short spacing periods so that the idea lingers. Place it spatially. Writing definitely helps for this since it's slower, physically involving, and you can style it with different formatting and stationary. Real media also works better for these aspects of writing and drawing because the hand-eye coordination is more connected; once it has to go through the computer there is digital goop in the way making it a little laggy, a little aliased or oversmoothed. You go to do something and get interrupted by everything else the computer does. So I do end up with use-once paper just for the purpose of training my brain better.

If I need to organize my paper I stick it in a manila file, label the file, and put a binder clip on. Then it has both spatial position and index. If it gets bigger than that we can grow to a file bin, hanging-file cabinet, etc. But nearly everyone's essential personal or project data is going to max out at one or two cabinets. Above that you are most likely becoming an archivist for other people's data and probably getting away from the task at hand.

For the stuff that is "linking together existing sources", where you can start consuming a vast amount of external data, I have taken to stuffing it in a spreadsheet. Spreadsheet cells are versatile enough for nearly any discrete-informational task and you can organize them into cheat sheets pretty easily. But they aren't so structured that you have to spend a lot of time preparing the structure either, which a lot of dedicated note systems seem to fall into: again, you have to set cutoffs wherever you start turning into an archivist. It can make sense to professionalize it as part of an organization, just not for yourself.

Ask HN: C standard compiler support in 2022?

And VR is a risky bet. Many have tried investing in VR but failed. The difference is the deep pockets. As if somehow by having more dollars, that this makes VR 'better'. You need traction, and that means making it super cheap to participate. Not everyone can afford 1000$ headsets, they're too busy saving for the next iPhone.
> You think the single celled organisms and plants responsible for producing oxygen, those responsible for decay, even those present within the digestive tracks of all animals, are not more important/valuable than humans?

Weren't we talking about most important animal?

But when it comes to most important, things a million different species can do are much less important.

Let alone the fact that we can produce oxygen and decay organic matter.

As for everything else, I don't feel like you're even trying to understand my argument. But if you're that confused it's only going to be a waste of time for me to go on.
I was around for the Mac/PC wars and the console wars. I just don't have the energy to give a shit about some "side" anymore, I'm gonna use what I want.
No, that'll be up to Apple to implement if they choose to. The only EU requirements are USB-C for charging, and USB-PD for charging protocol.

They could remove all USB data functionality completely if they wanted to, the EU law is only about device charging.
Nuclear was simply too expensive for the other side to bother debating with the environmental opposition. Unless the government subsidizes it (construction costs), private companies aren’t going to go near it. Other renewables are simply so much more profitable these days.

Not jumping ship yet, but certainly not happy about Musk being in charge.

I've tried Mastodon a few times, but it never seems to stick. I don't know anyone irl on it, or even any accounts that focus much on my local area. I think federation is interesting, but I think it'd work better if individuals had a close affinity with a particular community that chose to maintain a server (like a town, university, church, volunteer organization, etc). As it stands, people try to use it as a clumsy Twitter and join random servers they know little about.

The best thing that would come out of this is that I break my Twitter habit and hang out with friends at the pub more often.
