Swift on Server has become quite mature over the past years. The ecosystem features a libraries for a lot of tools you want to integrate. Furthermore, it is being used in production by some major companies besides Apple, e.g. Amazon has a bunch of production services running on it.
One of the greatest things about Swift on Server is not only the language but also the community. They are very open to new joiners and try to help whenever possible. Furthermore, with the latest Swift features such as Swift Concurrency it looks even more promising.
No. It's not enough to vaguely inform people.

You must get their consent. T-shirts say lots of things that are hyperbole or bluster. Like "official boob inspector" is not generally understood to mean that you're announcing you literally are a licensed doctor.
> US sales process was; they showed me the vehicle I had seen on their website, we drove the car, then we haggled a bit and signed contracts. US sales process was much more akin to how I imagine time share sales scams work - when you think you’re done, the gauntlet of high pressure multiple-rooms-with-increasingly-“senior”-managers has just started.

So basically: it's a culture thing. High pressure tactics are entrenched on the sales culture side, and the customer culture has gotten used to tolerating them.

As an aside, IIRC, someone once told me that Japanese makeup is superior to and cheaper than Western makeup, because Japanese customers are picky and won't put up with less.

The concept of dealerships makes some sense to me: an individual retail customer has zero leverage with a mass market manufacturer, but they'll have more leverage with a smaller dealer, and the dealer will have more leverage with the manufacturer because they're buying far more than a single person. Though the actual implementation leaves a lot to be desired.
I agree with you, but the question was "Could Musk have done something more effective with his money?" and I came up with an answer.

I think Musk has fallen into the Evil Overlord list, and has failed to run his plans past a five year old child. Watch for him to try to eat an energy field bigger than his head soon...

I wonder if you can convince a dirt-cheap GBS8200 with GBS-Control mod, to convert sync-on-green to VGA. I'm not sure what options are available for pure sync extraction, since the GBS-Control also does color conversion, deinterlacing, rescaling frames to more or less lines, simulated scanlines on LCD displays, etc.
that’s correct, we should also mention that spreading data over multiple requests does not improve co2 usage
"Investor relations" and "strategy" sound vague, but in this context they refer to concrete and unambiguous things. If you're not regularly standing in front of investors and showing them slide decks, you're not doing investor relations; if you're not regularly talking to senior leaders to discuss the industry and suggest new initiatives, you're not doing strategy.

"Looking towards the future" and "business optimization" are more squishy, and you can't really specifically disprove that someone's doing them on an ongoing basis. But you can often disprove it retrospectively, if you see that the business is run increasingly poorly or clearly failed to account for some big new trend.
Power management should work for the most part. Sleeping and hibernation doesn't work yet but it should definitely scale to your load. All the usual things like setting the performance governor should work. See the driver discussion here: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/20220504075153.185208-1-mar...

If you have issues with this please report it to marcan (or somewhere on IRC in the project or whatever).
Someone recently opined that the boffins should have started with collision avoidance. Then build up to FSD.

Facepalm slap. Seems so obvious once said out loud.

That'd be like a Rodney Brooks inspired actionist strategy, right? Our vehicles as boids, with implicit coordinated action, like flocking, herding, pacing, station keeping, etc.

Maybe a bottom-up emergent behavior strategy has potential. Or a hybrid strategy.

When it comes to AI, FDS, etc. I obviously know nothing about nothing, so please chime in.
This is very cool. Two things I wish:
* can it be a sidebar, instead or in addition to this popup? Then it could be up all the time, or how wide I want
* I wish it did tabs across windows - this only finds tabs in the current window, but I have multiple windows of multiple tabs open on my machine. (So of course I can't find anything, yes...)

But this is very neat and exciting!!
Love it, and love college radio!

Could you add KAOS?
It doesn't seem to deal with misgendering hate or transphobia very well (I saw lots of models failing on this so I checked that right away), and I mean obvious ones regardless of your stance, e.g.:

> "She is a he" => { "class": normal, "confidence": 1 }

> "He will never be a woman" => { "class": normal, "confidence": 0.999 }

But it does seem to identify 2nd-person targeted transphobia:

> "You will never be a woman" => { "class": flag, "confidence": 0.996 }
I think the potential for lab-grown construction materials is underrated. Bamboo in its natural form is kind of a challenge. As achow’s comment points out, it’s hard to reconstitute into other forms that retain bamboo’s desirable properties. And it tends to rot easily unless encased in resin.

A more interesting prospect for me is fast-growing wood / plant materials in a medium where we get the desired shape and structure grown, rather that cut and glued.

Imagine giant barges at sea taking up nutrients from sea water, and growing thick straight grained timber. Or plywood, where each ply is only a few strands thick before changing orientation. Or chairs that lack joinery due to having been grown on a 3d scaffold.

Growing our building materials this way would be comparable to replacing meat with plants in terms of ecology. Forests would be valuable for their ecological services rather their timber. It’s a world I’d love to live in.
Except that DeFi has evolved since then. Transactions on Arbitrum and Optimism are basically instant and cost cents (soon to be fractions of a cent with EIP-4844) while being as secure as Ethereum. ZK rollups are coming out now that are even better than them.

So you get speed, low fees, and full transparency and safety. There's a reason both Brian Armstrong and CZ have said they see DeFi replacing their exchanges eventually.
Some would argue that “some person” and “the universe” are the same.
I never liked 'Getting Things Done'. It's the most repetitive book I've ever read. It could be a 5-page article, but David Allen decided to write a ~300 pages book by repeating the same idea over and over.
The article's own title isn't that vague and fits well enough with the content, i.e. what is traditionally thought of as the first BBC broadcast may well have been preceded by broadcasts from the north of England.
RAM isn't much of a concern, relative to significantly increased needs for cache sizes and ROM sizes.

Aarch64 very much loses out; Microcontrollers are resource-constrained, so they won't use it.

High performance implementations (like Apple's M1) need to work around code density by making caches larger, or even having a microop cache; this all has transistor count cost, which imposes area cost, power cost and maximum clock cost.
So your own comments can be more informed, you're commenting on TFA where those HN discussions are aligned with what the actual Wikipedia contributors think. And those comments started after several very well-sourced articles on the Foundations finances were shared.

Do you have anything more HN-caliber than that to share with us?
> Excluding this stipulation, which they will be prosecuted for - what exactly the CFTC/SEC/NYSE/NASDAQ/Secret Service/DEA/Texas Rangers were meant to do about a company in the Bahamas is beyond me.

The point is to look tough on crypto, so they can garner support for expanding budgets to deal with a new mandate. It's pure show.
In about one line of Lisp we can make an object with referential cycles in it, without declaring that we would like to abandon safety. We can have that object printed in a notation from which a similar object will be recovered, with the same cycles in the same places. All of this matters in practice.
Clark also used it as a throwaway line in Childhood's End. IIRC, humans were given a device that would allow them to see the past--most religions didn't survive seeing the true origins of their faith.
I don't follow it too closely, but I've seen blog headlines suggesting that the big Wall Street entities got together and colluded to avoid having to eat major losses on their short position on GME stock that the meme people were holding. Basically that investment banks were able to cheat individual investors out of their money by changing the rules at the last minute. I have no idea where this falls on the spectrum of "LIBOR price fixing" down to "2020 election was stolen" as far as plausible conspiracy theories go.
It is an interesting if. Is there an indication that any of the ancillary grants by Wiki actually fund "stem education worldwide (especially in areas not well served today)"?
Is a song an object?

Is a ghost?

A finish line?
The inward focus aspect is a good way to look at it. Most of these titles date back to the manufacturing days, when the COO was the guy responsible for production, for running the factories (all of the plant managers reported up to him). The CEO had a much broader purview (not only production, but also sales, finance, etc) and perhaps more importantly being the external face of the company to the market and to shareholders.

> Most manufacturers have at least one decent EV on the market now.

On paper, yeah. But they are manufactured in pathetically small quantities.
But the on-call footprint is also smaller. Ideally up to a point where most of the problems don't require immediate response, so most teams won't need a 24/7 on-call.

I think the issue is that first people introduce 24/7 on-call, then they split into teams and this policy no longer makes sense, but noone has the balls to roll it back because it's optics are bad. But you should.
I don't think you know just how modular a Common Lisp environment is. Sure there is some hot reloading that sometimes works and you can change the value of variables, maybe even jump back and forth in your stack trace. Rarely does it do any of them as well as Common Lisp though, where the only thing that doesn't dynamically update when you change something is struct-instances and macros. Functions, variables/values, classes (including instances) can all change as you want it without restarting anything. When something goes wrong, like errors or exceptions, you can modify some code, restart some where on the stack, ignore it and continue execution, insert dummy value or insert a placeholder function.

Some form of interactivity with the debugger is common in my experience. The level of interactivity you get with Common Lisp is not.
In computer hardware, that market segment is typically called "prosumer"
Gee, I wonder how Wikimedia could make this practice ethical?

Maybe actually tell people it's going to those causes instead of Wikipedia?

Naaaaaaaaah
The product announcement for the iPhone 14 said nothing about any sort of recurring subscription costs for such a service.
I also had a terrific time building with Vapor, but I had to put down the project and then pick it up a year later… between the interim release (v2 — v4 I think) I found the my product basically impossible to upgrade, not a lot of clear documentation on the changes. I was pretty dismayed by how far the API drifted.
1. I received useful emails each day, and spams are always around 10%. Maybe I am just conservative about wher I put my email? Not being in crypto may help as well, but it's definitely not 1%-99% for me, more like 90%-10%.

2. More importantly, an email provider that doesn't make an effort to distinguish between 99% of spam emails and 1% of legit ones is definitely useless and worthless.
If you want to be pedantic, it's km/h with a lowercase k.
Even better is something like the Guardian Project's Haven(https://github.com/guardianproject/haven) which IIRC Snowden contributed to.

It's incredibly cost-effective to just buy an old Android phone (which comes integrated with multiple microphones, with good signal processing and noise cancellation), instead of building it with components.

Haven is specifically designed for intrusion detection, and for preventing people from tampering with your laptop for instance by detecting activity on the Android phone's sensors.
These were written into the bylaws of non-profit organizations. The board could have amended these, but I think these boards were closely watched by the community and it would have been very visible that this had been done.

The point is that a NGO should recognize that NGOs by default go bad in a highly predictable way and should be organized to resist this.
Instead I have found working on my 5 years old Javascript projects very easy.
Even with this old projects NPM can download the very specific deps without problem thanks to the commited lockfile.
Then I can easly install the required node.js version (stated in the package.json) with NVM and no other problem arise.
The horse in a hospital thing was new to me, I will use that!
https://arxiv.org/abs/1607.02318 is a widely cited paper that argues that simple and orthogonal ISA's are preferable, as fusion can fix up those common cases like more complicated addressing modes that other ISA's have in the base ISA.
Maybe?

If I were the product manager there, I would fight tooth and nail to only make a short term commitment to support it at all. Two years in, if it's un unmitigated disaster costing $1B/year and generating zero rescues and zero PR, kill it. You can't do that if you've promised "free for the life of the phone" or something.
Works in the specific countries. If you have an iPhone 14 from another country that isn't supported, it'll work in that country.

If you have an African iPhone 14 and are stranded in the middle of the US, it should work.
Lab-grown wood: a potential game changer for forestry and forest products (2021)
> Of course I can't say what free will "really means," which is a bit of a rhetorical trap.

Then I'd argue there's no point in even discussing it. "What can be said, can be said clearly" and all that jazz.
It's suppose to be on Globalstar's existing network which would be S-band and L-band but CDMA. It's not 5G-NR just yet though that's likely where they're headed.

I think Apple added n53 as part of this deal at Globalstar's request. Globalstar is trying to lease their spectrum terrestrially for small cell networks and network capacity solutions for the carriers.

Here's a presentation with some details.
Sure, if driving like a maniac, but you would argue the driver stopping for a dog on the road is at fault for the person crashing into him/her from behind?

Maybe it's different in the states, I'm not up to date with all traffic rules everywhere.
It's always satisfying to be certain, but the meaning of words does shift over time, and sometimes words have multiple origins. Assuming that 70s or 80s programmers knew anything about printing presses is tenuous. Given the long assumption that boilerplate refers to plates on equipment and superior fit of "fill in the blank" documents, it seems more likely that this is the intended meaning. Perhaps the term was heard and misunderstood early on? But the proposed origin doesn't align with the community that's using it to refer to source code.
> I disagree. They still very much fulfill that purpose.

There is a thing called web-development, emerged in the last couple of decades. It's whole purpose is to develop apps using this hypertext document rendering engine. You're not wrong by saying that browsers' main job is still rendering HTML documents. But most of the web pages that people use day to day are not "documents", they are apps.

Here are tabs I have open at the moment:

- HN (board app, not a document)
- Soma.fm DefCon radion (music streaming app, not a document)
- Facebook (social network app, not a document)
- Eurosport Player (video player, not a document)
- research paper (PDF, document, but not HTML)
- another forum (board app, not a document)
- Canva (graphics editing app, not a document)
- Miro (whiteboard app, not a document)

So you're disagreeing that those apps are apps and not the documents?
Set backcountry search and rescue aside for a second.

Seems to me this is for ordinary people doing ordinary things outside cell range, and finding they need help. A family member has a heart attack. A collision with a moose. Who knows what.

Less “should’ve brought water and a jacket” and more “we’ve been on route 9 for two hours, a moment ago everything was fine, now he’s not breathing, we have no bars, and we have no idea where the nearest hospital is.”

Besides, even if this feature only saves a single life, seems worth it to me.
many posters here have no problem with Wikimedia/Mozilla/etc redirecting the money to political activists.

I'd just like to remind you what happened when Brendan Eich had donated $1000 of his own damn money to a cause you found disagreeable.
Really frustrating to see the amount of effort that went in to gaming those benchmarks when catastrophic performance issues in core Microsoft-authored libraries go unfixed for years. https://github.com/dotnet/SqlClient/issues/593
No because there’s a difference between doing good and doing bad, even if that’s subjective.
I have a 2022 BMW X4 and it handles it really well. It actually prevented me from rear-ending someone earlier this year. I have never had it kick in "accidentally".

The lane departure can be slightly more aggressive. It generally works very well, but I have had a few cases where old road lines (think construction zone) caused it to veer into oncoming traffic. It has happened twice. Luckily I keep my hands on the steering wheel and it feels the resistance and submits to my judgement. But for all those people that drive with their knees or text while driving, it could be problematic.

I'm comparing this to a 2020 F-150 Platinum that I had previously. It's automatic braking was awful. It had false alarms constantly. The lane departure was equally horrible. I find it interesting that the article pointed out how specifically terrible pickup trucks are with automatic braking technology and I thought back to my F-150. Since the F150 is the most common truck on the road (actually the most common vehicle in America period), I wonder how much of that statistic is being dragged down by Ford's terrible technology alone. Everyone I know with that on an F150 has turned it off because its so bad.

I think the brand and implementation of this technology is very brand-specific. I have driven my parent's 2021 VW Atlas quite a bit which is equipped with both technologies and it is "fine". Not great and not bad. I've seen a few false alarms already in the shorter amount of time I have been in it. They were constant in the Ford and I have yet to experience one after 12 months of daily driving in the BMW.
Musk slagged his workers in public based on his misunderstanding. This guy very patiently gave a detailed correction, so if anyone needs to work on something it’s Musk.

Personally, I’d view this as a litmus test: if your boss is more concerned about scoring points with his sycophants than being right, most highly-employable engineers are going to walk before it gets worse. If Musk had been humble enough to treat this as an engineer would, that’s be a different story since it would tell you that improvement is possible.
It's not every day that the second largest exchange in the sphere goes down the toilet. Well actually, if the knock on effects hit other exchanges like some people fear that might happen.

The real hair on fire moment would be a Binance rug pull.
Getting React Native setup can be a bit of a pain, but I found the transition to M1 completely painless. You just use homebrew for things like Ruby and Cocoapods (the ARM version, but there is no special configuration required - that's what you get by default).

One thing you do generally need to do with React Native is make sure that you're on a relatively recent version of dependencies. If you're revisiting an old project you likely will need to upgrade everything. That probably does make it a bad choice for infrequently maintained projects. Although if you can avoid the native build and stick with what Expo provides then it would become painless again.
It's pretty clear that "info from Sam" can't by trusted
So, did it work? The article doesn't mention whether the new teams are happier and/or more productive.
Most tech in modern cars comes from race cars. The DSG, DOHC, direct fuel injection, independent suspension, etc etc.

Race cars are the development & staging environment for car manufacturers.

Not 100% sure what you're pushing back against here. It was certainly a pragmatic implementation of RISC when compared to other designs of the era which were much more 'pure.
>Satellites move rapidly, have low bandwidth, and are located thousands of miles away from Earth, so it can take a few minutes for even short messages to get through.

Low orbit satellites can be about 500 kilometers / 300 miles so would be the logical next step?
I've looked at the InReach. If I were doing a lot of solo remote backcountry travel (whether hiking or something else), I'd probably feel that buying one and getting a subscription was the prudent thing to do. However, for occasional use for mostly day hikes with patchy cell phone coverage? That's hard to justify whereas I might consider (though won't) upgrade my phone a bit sooner than I might have otherwise for this feature.
Editing Wikipedia is done by volunteers. The sysadmin/operations staff is paid, and so are the Mediawiki developers building out stuff specifically for WP.
I was just on the ground coordinating with 4 friends that got buried in 5+ foot of unexpected snow in the mountains (forecast said 1"-2" when they went up) for the rifle opener in Montana. I wound up getting sick so I stayed home (hilariously I was the only one who got an elk) but I sent them up with my InReach.

All I can say is THANK GOD that I did, because it turned into over a week long effort to get them out. Two decided to walk out and were able to text me a nav point that I was able to meet them at (took all day to get there because of the snow and mud, but I made it and was able to pick them up). The other two stayed up there, and we sent probably 100 texts back and forth coordinating what turned into like 3 solid days of fighting to get up there with snowcats and get them back down. Multiple situational changes that we would have been hosed without.

In the end, I spent like $80 on texts, but it was money well spent. I think it's great for people to have SOS built into their iPhone, but there needs to be a "use it now, pay later" or no one is going to activate it and actually have it available when they need it. The other half of the equation is that you really need to be able to send texts. The SOS button is very expensive. Extremely expensive. That will keep a lot of people from using it. (Yes insurance exists, but hardly anyone has it). Being able to text your friends for help is substantially more useful. Being stuck on a backroad with no service, 5, 10, 20 miles from where anyone can be expected to drive by is a far more common scenario than breaking your leg at the top of a mountain and needing to be evacuated.
