I have the TCL -- it does work well, but it is so large that it feels very un-X100-like. When I travel with the X100, the TCL comes along, but as a "sometimes" lens, rather than the default.

If Fuji were to come to market with a leaf-shuttered 35mm f/2 comparable in size to the X100's 23mm, I continue to maintain that there'd be a bunch of high-end buyers. It'd be the only 50mm-equivalent instrument of its kind on the market.
Funny, I’m basically building the same thing at the moment.
Really needed!

There might be a 10 year lag creating more surgeons from scratch, but you'll have existing surgeons suddenly working for your company today.

Your 10-15 year lag assumes untrained workers. You'll have a stream of people transitioning from other medical professions or surgical specialisations to your $10mm job category, many of whom require much less than 10 years of additional training (1-2 years? on the job?).
I coded in C++ professionally for about 15 years and don't remember it would be "incredibly daunting". Not easy, but doable. But yes, I also exited the pool, now I work in Golang and just wouldn't go back to C++.
>Can’t fight economics. Unless something has a chance of competing economically against wind and solar it won’t be built in appreciable amounts. Claims that because uranium is more energy dense that it is the next step do not hold up to scrutiny if uranium based power can’t compete economically, and so far, it has not.

It never has by itself, but it helps share military costs. It's vastly more expensive to maintain a nuclear arsenal and nuclear submarines without at least a modest civilian nuclear industry.

If you might want nukes in a hurry it is handy to take out a nuclear option too - just ask Iran, Sweden and South Korea.

On an LCOE basis wind and solar blows nuclear out of the water by a factor of 5. Adding enough storage brings that down to 2 or 3 but of course, pure economic efficiency isn't the only reason we do things otherwise we wouldn't be suffering 10% inflation right now.
'Stripped, pulsating core of a star' spotted for the first time
I'm really not sure how turnstiles aren't cheaper than uniformed employees checking for proof of payment.

There's an awful lot written in the article arguing for proof of payment but the DC system does sound an alarm when somebody jumps a turnstile and there is a metro employee roughly 8 feet from any turnstile so the issue is not that they can't catch fare evaders.

----

If you really want a free metro through you need to let the metro actually recoup the benefits it provides. Apartments adjacent a mass transit system routinely go for 500-1000 more per month than ones ~5 mins away. If the metro owned the land around it and was allow to rent it out for retail/housing it'd be rolling in dough.
+1, even though I slightly disagree with you. I live in the mountains of Central Arizona, BTW.

Harvesting rain water, storing it, and using it for a home garden can't hurt, it is good exercise, saves some money on groceries, and provides an emergency supply in case municipal water servers ever go offline for a while.

The "meat addicts of Hacker News" have downvoted me in the past for mentioning this, but I think it bears repeating: changing dietary habits to only eat meat a few times a week does a lot to help with water shortages, reduce green house gases, and with energy conservation. There is also nutrition literature posted by a medical doctor I follow on Twitter that indicates that reducing meat consumption helps with several health issues and potentially increases longevity.

Startups are really hard and most fail.

Anyone who goes into one without knowing this is naive.

The important thing is to go in there and work bloody hard, because in a startup your hard work is uniquely able to contribute to the success of the company. And you’ll be handsomely rewarded if the company succeeds.

Many startups are unsuccessful, but that doesn’t mean it’s pointless or undesirable to have the option of striving within this environment.

All big companies were startups at some point. We must maintain the culture of hard work and high risk/reward, otherwise our economy will consist of uninspiring medium-sized companies (with the only large ones being banks or oil companies), as is the situation in most of the world outside America.
Bezos famously has been trying to build orbital rockets for two decades and hasn't yet succeeded.

So there must be some difference between them on this point.
Times are very hard right now for a lot of people I’ve spoken with. Not to dismiss you particularly but more to say I don’t think you’re alone in this. The psychological burden they carry feels massive. I don’t know if this is due to remote work, hard to say. If you are single or not the only provider, what helped me get through was to make drastic lifestyle changes. I did cold showers, some wim hof breathing session, some yoga, running, lifting weights - I had to shock my biology out of the rut I was in. And even still I go through shitty days, but I can tolerate a bit more. I don’t have the luxury of not working, especially in this economy and I have family to support and provide for (and also role model for..) But for someone with no way out, the above really helped me.
Pantone isn't a startup; it's not really a "growth market". Print shops expect to be told Pantone colors. If you tell them something else, you're going to get the best match they can figure out.

Many designers won't care that their banners look slightly different from their tee-shirts and both are slightly different from their business cards. For others, though, they think the variation looks tacky and cheap.

Those are the ones who will pay. It's a very small fraction of their commission on a work.

What's a bad look for Pantone is how many people had been using their colors without really needing to, and still getting cut off. They would usually be fine with a "close enough" shade. I can't tell if that's Adobe's fault, Pantone's, or (probably) both.
Haha same here, started skinning on 1.3. The good old Invisionize days!
Tenderly launches Web3 Gateway providing all-in-one Web3 development experience
For those not following the California housing crisis and the government's response to it, I would urge you to do so. This is an issue of national significance and Newson is actually trying to do a lot. The article mentions the Berkely case but let me highlight it [1]:

> That’s essentially what Alameda County Superior Court Judge Brad Seligman ruled this week when he froze enrollment increases at UC Berkeley in response to a lawsuit by a local NIMBY group called Save Berkeley’s Neighborhoods. The judge found that the university failed to account for the impact of increased enrollment — including late-night parties and crowded parks — in its plans to add more student and faculty housing, in violation of the California Environmental Quality Act, known as CEQA.

Well-intentioned laws (ie environmental impact) are effectively being weaponized for the benefit of rich people.

There have been some victories in Newson's push. A notable example is Santa Monica. The city is quite famous for fighting development to going back decades. Now the state mandates cities have to have a "Housing Element", which is a plan for increasing affordable housing. Santa Monica fought this but got out of compliance. This allowed developed to bypass the city and get thousands of units approved. The city is now in compliance but is lookking at legal options for fighting the approvals.

Santa Monica, like many wealthy cities, also fought against the Westside rail extension into the city [2]. Why? "Crime" of course. What this really means is "undesirables", which itself means "poor people".

You really see the awful cruelty of some people in all this. Rampant NIMBYism and the impact it has on housing supply and affordability is a key contributor to homelessness, poverty and property crime. Oh well, I guess we'll ship everyone off to Martha's Vineyard. Problem solved.

And how does it stack up to RoseTTAFold? Isn't RoseTTAFold much faster than AlphaFold but slightly worse in accuracy?
This won’t work because humans are lazy and fundamentally wired to expend the least amount of effort possible. Just the belief that you have an AI that will correct your mistakes, will make people expend less effort (even subconsciously), until it completely cancels out any additional error correction from the AI. Plus, workers will hate the fact that an AI could automatically do exactly what they are doing but they are doing it manually for “error correction”.

It only works the opposite way, where machines and AI handle the trivial cases and humans handle the non-trivial ones. Many people actually genuinely like to solve hard problems which require thinking and skill, most people strongly dislike mundane repetitive tasks.
It's absolutely related to water rights. California farm owners wouldn't opt to grow alfalfa if water were priced sanely for them
I agree, "assume unknown, unaudited packages are malicious" is the ideal stance. However, I would say that a simple scanning approach could probably take you pretty far. For instance, if you're not using the requests module or the socket module, chances are pretty good there's no data exfiltration going on.

It's absolutely not a foolproof approach, but it is a lightweight layer that can be used in a "defense in depth" approach.
> Why is ... backend engineering the only software discipline that gets maligned like this?

Where do I even begin? The intrinsic difficulty of most backend problems is very low - read some customer data, save it to a database, call an external API, send data back to customer. The only effort you should have to put in is fighting boredom.

The web dev industry managed to overcomplicate this task to the point where even small startups targeting niche markets have architectures inviting race conditions over distributed systems with tens/hundreds/thousands of working parts.

It doesn't have to be like this. The problem is that your average web dev doesn't know how to scale down (optimize for space/memory/disk consumption), so instead they scale up (more computers). Scaling up isn't necessarily a problem if you know what you're doing, but I've seen a bunch of super-principal engineers regurgitating the popular scaling up buzzwords without actually understanding the tradeoffs. They choose a technology because Google is using it.

It's not fun to fix deep systemic problems in distributed systems when the system has already been running for a long time, and there's a large number of devs working on it. You can't just say "ok, everyone stop working, for a while, we'll take a couple of months to rewrite everything, the customer can wait".

What's worse it that this type of issues would've been obvious from the very beginning to anyone mildly curious to imagine what the future of such a system would look like.

Another type of common issue is slow queries, and the common "solution" results in eventual consistency.

I'll stop now.

Mobile development is just as bad, maybe worse. One overly complicated framework (Android), and another one that's fenced-off to non-Mac developers.

Virtualenvs do make some sense for interpreted languages, but are far from the best solution to the problem.

Other compiled languages resolve their dependencies without any special configuration. Or, if you want to use non-shared dependencies, with project-wide configuration, not system-wide.
> 1. Please re-read and follow the HN guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

I'm sorry if my comment was unkind, but your dismissal of all the work done entirely by open-source volunteers after a single day of testing isn't exactly reflective of the platform, whatever the platform.

> 2. You don't speak for Mastodon or the fediverse community, so you have no right to say "The fediverse community welcomes...", especially when your comment actually implies that the community is unwelcoming to non-ideologues.

I speak for many accounts and many people having the same view: be open to something different, and your experience will be better. Be closed to newness and you will just not like it. It's not an ideology, it's valid for any situation where you will switch usages.

The toxicity of Twitter and its 1-liners that exacerbate misunderstanding and misinterpretation thanks to an algorithm that favors anything is not something that the fediverse community wants.

> 3. Does Mastodon not want Twitter refugees to join?

The fediverse (not Mastodon) wants many things, but the most important one is probably that communication be free. Maybe Mastodon, the microblogging is good. Maybe WriteFreely, or Plume, the blogging software, are good for people. Maybe people want federated image sharing, so they'll be more interested in PixelFed. It's not about having the biggest numbers, because there's no benefits; it's about the freedom of its users.

So, yes, if you want to keep on microblogging, please do come to the fediverse, but understand that the rules are different

> 4. I didn't say Mastodon owes me anything. I tried it, and I didn't like it, so I left. I don't owe Mastodon my usage, nor do I owe it a good review.

Good, because it sounded like you found your initial experience atrocious and assumed Mastodon needs changes to accomodate people migrating from Twitter.
I spent so much time at previous jobs sizing and maintaining caching clusters. I think this product is going to be a game changer for a lot of engineering teams!
A couple of generations ago you could have 100sqm house, a small black n white TV, maybe a basic 4 cylinder car if you were doing quite well, and be happy about it. If I lived at the level of consumerism my grandparents did, I could still do basically anything and be comfortable financially. Instead I have every electronic gadget ever made and an expensive Italian automotive exotica fetish and a constant thirst for more dollars to keep the gravy train chugging.
Could we hook GPT3 up to our dating apps? On both sides. That way we can just let the computers do the small talk and if they hit it off we can meet.
PSVR2 is better than the Index in several ways, but PSVR2 came out 4 years after the Index. PSVR2 is also part of a completely closed platform. PCVR is a much more open platform which tends to mean higher prices. Let's also not forget that the Index uses base stations for tracking, which is much more accurate (and also more expensive) than inside out tracking.

This is exactly where I was a called a zealot and gave up because it was obvious the other person felt attacked, as if I told them "you are an idiot for using procedural and imperative style all your career" -- which I absolutely didn't say or even imply.

Ultimately, selling someone on FP is selling them a new mental model and I think a lot of us how hard that is. People by default don't want to change the way think, it's a fact of life.

I had the most fun ever writing c++ 20 years ago. The power of the language amazed me, combining high level constructs with low level control and many, many (too many) powerful features. And so many ways to completely screw yourself up.

I vowed never to use it again. I miss it still but it's just not worth it.
I use Bitwarden for TOTP, because I have become convinced that it still provides a true second factor even if both the password and the TOTP seed are in the same entry in my password manager.

This is because every access to Bitwarden requires two factors: a device I've already logged in with, and either the passphrase or a biometric unlock. Bootstrapping a new device requires the passphrase and a token.
You often hear of courts issuing injunctions but not so often writs of mandamus. That's because a judge can easily order someone NOT to do something, and police show up and prevent them from doing it. Ordering them TO do something gets more complicated.

That's not to say the courts can't make things happen, but it's harder. The relevant party can say "look, I'm doing it!" and the court then has to rule "no, you're not."

They're trying to reduce the rate of inflation, not "the price of food and gas". Depending on the measure of inflation you're using, food and gas might not even be in that measure.
I pointed to two clear examples where we as an industry have automated it (Django's Admin app, Excel), and I could name tons more (Access, Power Automate, InfoPath, Power Apps, SharePoint Apps, SharePoint Lists, and those are just the Microsoft side of the list; you mention CMS specialists and we could list out of the box CMSes for days).

> still need custom integration work

Define "need" here. I already threw some shade at this by accusing many companies of thinking their every need is a special little snowflake that needs lots of custom tweaks and custom specifics. In my practical experience so much more of that is "want" rather than "need". They want to feel special. They want to feel like they have control. They don't want to pay for the cheap out of the box CMS because it might imply to their executives and shareholders that their entire business is cheap and easily automated.

Some of these CRUD apps are truly "John Hammond syndrome" apps: they want the illusion that no expense was spared. (And just like John Hammond sometimes confusing building out the gift shop and adding fancy food to the restaurant in the Visitor Center with spending enough on redundancy among the critical operations work and staff.)
Removed the Facebook login? Lol, now it prompts me every-time I use it to create a Horizon's account. I personally couldn't care less about the facebook login, and really never saw what the big deal was. I created a facebook account which I only use for the quest 2. You're going to need an account, what does it matter which platform it is from?

I'm sick of people criticizing Apple's walled garden. It's the primary feature of Apple products. It's what makes them what they are. If you don't like it, just buy something else. No one is forcing you to buy Apple if you don't like the walled garden. Many people like it and I'm amazed that there are so many people that don't understand that.
Cree is a part supplier to loads of manufacturers of commercial products. You can add Cree as a search term when looking for high quality LED lighting (and you'll get lots of knockoffs depending on where you're looking).
The problem is the tree of dependencies you might check. Sure you can check the changes in a direct dependency, but when that dependency updates a few others and those update a few others, the number of lines you need to read grow very quickly

This is goid defense in depth measure but doesn't solve one fundamental issue. You might be protected during developement by the sandbox but your users are not necessarily. I think we as developers should not give any sotware we do not trust to our users.
Building a data warehouse offers several benefits to an organization:

1.Data Consistency: It creates a standard for data format across the company. This makes it easier for employees to integrate it into their business use case.

2. Single Point Of View: It offers business managers a single view of the entire organization. They can query whatever data they like whenever they like for analysis or other purposes.

3. Brings Down Silos: Data silos within an organization act as a hindrance in business operation. Data warehouses unify all the data, making it easier for multiple teams to observe and analyze data from different parts of the organization.
It would still be an improvement if companies make clear what their namespace is.
I'd take the "hell freezing over" side of that bet. He's already providing 10s of millions worth of internet service for free to Ukrainians. Do they count as poor?

Starlink satellites spend a lot of time flying over Africa. And if it's priced at $110/month it will not see a lot of use. So for a very low marginal cost he can provide a very valuable service. Therefore I wouldn't be surprised if somebody talks him into giving it away for the next cause du jour, especially if its structured so he only gives away the service (low marginal cost) and not the terminals (high marginal cost).
So you optimize text spamming?
Sure... forcing the people to do things they don't want to is bad. But one of the reasons I think people don't want to do this kinds of collectivist tasks is because we've been trained into being hyper-individualistic. It's "nobody has my back, why should I have somebody else's back?". If we fostered a more collaborative "we're all in this together" culture, by y'know... actually being in this together, I think there would be a lot of problems we think of as impossibly hard to solve that would be incredibly easy to solve. "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country" was once an inspiring thing to hear.
What would be a successful outcome of throwing tomato sauce onto a painting? A few seconds of media coverage? What is the point of that? Nothing will change, except security in museums. What we need are applicable proposals how to change what. And media coverage of climate issues should focus on that in my opinion, not on pr stunts.
