Surely you've seen people who put their phone and wallet on a table before sitting down, because they can't comfortably sit with them in their pockets?

Mens' clothes have adapted significantly over the past 15 years to accommodate growing devices - it's just happened slowly enough that it's hard to notice.

Modern jeans are made with deeper front pockets; and a lot of sportswear has added/redesigned pockets. I have running clothes from 20 years ago with nothing but a space for some keys, and others with only shallow pockets with no button or zip - hardly suitable for carrying a $1000 phone! Modern running clothes often add a large, zipped, sweat-proof pocket specifically designed for carrying a phone.

People's experience of this will vary with their style preferences, naturally - nothing modern exceeds the pockets on a 1990s pair of cargo pants or JCNO jeans! And if you update your clothes regularly, your entire wardrobe might have gained large pockets without you noticing.
In my humble opinion the double asperand is a visually atrocious abomination and wholly redundant. I hope this pattern dies quickly.

I’m interested in what “traditions” you’re talking about here? Honestly, it is not even clear to me what you’re talking about when you say “these” in your sentence. Certainly tradition hasn’t held that Rust memory management is an idea and therefore not patentable. Same with new models in ML? Maybe there is some tradition for protocols, but even those are generally patentable but required to be licensed via FRAND.

Your post seems to entirely misunderstand the patent system. “But one may not receive the protection of the government for [ideas] to give temporary advantage over competitors.” This is just flat out wrong. The purpose of a patent is literally to receive the protection of the government for your ideas in order to give you a temporary advantage over your competitors via a government granted monopoly on an idea. The bargain that’s struck is that the patent owner gives the details of their patented idea to the world so that anyone can eventually practice it or build off of it in exchange for a limited exclusionary protection in commerce.
Than the iPhone 14 (non-Pro)? It has a brighter screen which runs at 120Hz (not 60) and it has the additional telephoto lens (and LiDAR, though I don't think there's any use for that still). I also think it looks nicer, but that's a personal preference.

Because Apple didn't upgrade the CPU in the non-pro this year the iPhone 13 Pro is still the better device.
> I think the truth is the vast majority of people don't care much about their browser anymore. They are pretty much all good enough.

I think browsers are just so complex that most people don't understand that there's something wrong with their browser or operating system and just blames the website. Few years back it feels that everybody knew that if something is a bit off on the web they should try a different browser. Now, this idea seems to be more or less gone - most people only have 1 browser installed to begin with.

> Imagine how embarrassing and annoying it must be for Chinese people to see the relatively sub-par quality of the end result.

That’s honestly just cope. China has the best rail network in the world by far and there’s really nothing even close to what they’ve accomplished in about 15 years.

In the time the US has been twiddling their thumbs planning and throwing billions at contractors to consider high speed rail and scams like hyper loop, China went from 0 miles of high speed rail to thousands.

There’s a lot of cruft in construction in the US and it’s impossible to deny. I lived near a highway that was being repaired for years. It was ongoing before I moved to that city and apparently only finished after I moved out 5 years later. Thorough environmental checks for building dams, okay. But just build a goddamn road—especially when all you’re doing is fixing what’s there. Quit selling it out to your biggest donor/lowest bidder. Pay someone who delivers results with a record to back it up even if the initial budget looks higher.

Infrastructure is like a pair of boots. Pay a little extra now and you’ll quickly realize why it’s good you didn’t cheap out.

Update: duplicate, the original WSJ article discussed here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33497012

The original article is from The Washington Post [1]. In this article, it is not linked, but mentioned. This dw.com article describes what The Washington Post reported.

I'm unsure why so many publications don't directly link the article that they effectively are re-wording in parts?

FWIW I also cover Meta every now and then in The Pragmatic Engineer. After reading The Washington Post article, I reached out to engineering leaders working at the company who basically confirmed what the Washington Post wrote. Layoffs are to be expected, likely this week. Also, some other signs pointed to this, like Meta having people return from business trips by the weekend (so by now everyone is in their primary work location), cutting them short if need be [2]

Software doesn't need to be obvious and could need the sharing aspect of it. I am thinking of all the new ML models that are up and coming for example. Not only do you require some advanced software but also a lot of hardware capabilities.

I don't really buy your argument since the same could be said for obvious stuff in the physical world as well.

I still think I am leaning towards companies keeping their secrets if patents is the only solution we can bring to the table.

> there are no useful review sites

Right! The only thing there is are occasional reviews on shopping websites, but people can usually only compare it to their previous one, so there really are no useful reviews (spoiler: most induction hobs are faster than whatever people had before, and people seem to hate touch controls)

Especially once you get to the fancy features (eg. internal and external temperature sensors) there are almost no reviews at all and all you have is the manufacturers marketing.

Software development is inherently hard, and many software developers suffer from impostor syndrome. It's easy, within software development, to start doubting your own work, because there are so infinitely many ways of solving each and every problem. You're never quite sure if your way of solving it is the best, or if it's even any good. It all floats in the air, sort of. I think that's why we're vulnerable to criticism of it.

I'm surprised but I can understand why young people want to go manual. Change is also part of growing up and become different from their (our) parents.

I always owned manual cars but I drove many miles on automatic cars. In my experience manual is safer on hilly terrains when you either have to feel the car or drive really slowly and hope for the best (but a friend with a new automatic car told me this is changing.) Automatic is great inside cities where you always stop and go. It's a tie on the highway because nothing happens and there is no difference driving 50 miles always in manual 5th gear or in automatic 5th gears. For electric, flooring the pedal at the traffic light, no clutch, full torque is great. I won't add a manual transmission to my future EV, if ever.

Lots of similar sites start up the same way, I know from experience. Let individual communities self-govern, and stay out of it.

Then you get spambots attacking your service, so you set up checks on your end to alleviate the burden your individual community moderators have to undertake.

Then people sending illegal/shocking content. More changes on your end.

Then your government sends you notice that copyrighted content is being shared on your platform. Oops, gotta moderate that, too.

Death threats, alternate accounts, you name it, these are the things that will either make your community moderators & users leave (thus no service), or things you have to crack down on yourself.

Before long, you have a full-time team dedicated to moderating content.

Not saying this to just discourage you or belittle you, but, if you tell communities that you will be "impartial" 100% of the time, then that might come back to bite you later when you have to take action.

I tried to coax all elements in VSCode to use only two colors (background and foreground) with the foreground in only a few different intensities. It might give a CRT-vibe to some.

The theme is due for an update since newer VSCode has elements that aren't styled correctly.

Exact Audio Copy is a marvel of ripping technology. I would 100% use it if I cared about ripping CDs accurately.

Ages ago I made custom cdrom drivers that would purposefully randomize data returned from reads (cd copy protection). EAC would rip right through it without skipping a beat and reconstruct the correct audio. The only way to defeat it was to never return all of data, randomized or not.

I am always mystified why FreeBSD and Jails never took off as "the" cloud environment.

I read the book, “How to Practice” by the Dalai Lama several years ago.

One of the main points I took from it (paraphrased) was, “If you are in the right frame of mind, your worst enemy cannot hurt you. If you are in the wrong frame of mind, your best friend visiting can be a horrible chore.”

To me this was empowering. While I cannot control other’s actions, I can choose how I react to other’s actions.
No, not any more than you worry about Twitter shutting down.

And when Twitter does eventually shut down, all of those users will lose their accounts and followers forever with no recourse. When a mastodon server shuts down, you click the 'migrate account' button and continue like nothing happened.
> ... trying to line stuff up in columns like this in code is a mistake.

I've encountered this sentiment more than a few times and I find it hard to accept. It totally makes sense to align repetitive stuff in columns. That's why people use tables in other contexts, and code should be no different. This alignment makes clear any deviations from the norm and lets you "see" the structure of the data easily.

It doesn't matter for minor stuff and, usually, the code linter/formatter is "good enough"-- but sometimes, you REALLY want to have columnar layout!

The ABO group system relates to a gene called ABO, which gives you your A, B, AB, or O type. I'm not aware of any other blood types in that system (though I'm just an eager blood donor, not a haematologist).

There are lots of other systems though that add up to make your blood what it is. There's the Rhesus (Rh) system I mentioned before, but the main ones also include the MNS system, the P system, the Lutheran system, the Kell system, the Lewis system, the Duffy system, and the Kidd system. As far as I know, Kell is the third most immunogenic system after ABO and Rhesus.

Good question. I was also suspicious of the angle/framing of the paper as a smokestack capture solution. My thoughts are

1. smokestacks are a great place to start, it's thermodynamically easier, has low-hanging fruit, and can be a stepping stone to a atmospheric DAC solution.

2. I bet that the smokestack angle of the paper is due to ALF being a decent oxygen absorber. The paper made the argument that the CO2 (diameter 330pm) vs. N2 (diameter 364pm) selectivity was due to size exclusion principles. But oxygen has diameter 346pm, much closer to CO2, so it would stand to reason that oxygen would compete for CO2 binding efficiency. If you read the supplementary materials/experimental conditions, literally every experiment is done under a protective flow of 99.95% N2 gas, indicating that this compound is not to be exposed to air.

Its not that wfh is better in every case, but it does seem to be the case for a large number, if not majority, of people. The other issue is that the office crowd is dependent on others being at the office. I can't count the number of times I've seen someone say they prefer going to the office, but because everyone was working from home, there was no point. The burden being placed on others to satisfy personal work preferences seems heavily asymmetric, with the in-office crowd requiring a large number of others to also come into the office to make it work. If a company can make both work-styles viable, that's great. But too often it seems like the requirements for a bustling in-office environment end up meaning the WFH crowd are forced to come in as well.
