It is true that there is the problem of max capacity, and some self-described “digitally diseased” just can't have enough of it [0]

For many others however, it is a problem of control. The more digital stuff they have, the more maniacal and desperate they become in trying to perfectly organize it all (again and gain) [1].

Anyway, this article is not about the amount of data or their organization. IMO It is about its deeper long term "personal" value. it can still detritus even if it is well-ordered and does not take much space.

Garmin and Suunto already have dive computers with full smart watch capabilities. Most importantly without a subscription model to use the features.
Yeah, mainframe coding is much closer to "code NASA runs on spacecraft" than what most people consider coding to be today. And the level of hardware support (mainframes are basically redundant on everything) and software support is unheard of. Consider that these things are so integrated into major banks, etc, that even minutes of downtime would cost millions upon millions, and think of all the things you can spend millions on to reduce the chance of it happening.

Low fees doesn't change the fundamental negative sum game nature. It's still negative. Zero fee would change that but for obvious reason those do not become popular: you actually need to put in effort to scam with those. The reason bitcoin became so popular is because the only way to win in a negative sum game is to hype up the game and sell your seat and so everyone buying needed to hype even harder. Playing the game only leads to loss. This dynamic doesn't exist with a zero transfer fee coin.
Blockfi isn’t primarily an exchange, it is a crypto lending platform. Centralized exchanges are a viable target for regulation as the state has the capacity to do so if it chooses to. But these regulated exchanges should never be holding your crypto on your behalf. It should be purely fiat for crypto with minimal custody. However it will be difficult for that regulation to occur as dark hybrid exchange-banks are benefitting key political actors.
You are correct. The volcanoes in the Hawaiian chain are so-called mafic volcanoes.

In general, volcanoes are classified as silicic or mafic. The silicic ones contain more gas and tend to erupt explosively; the mafic ones, more lava floes.

Compare Mauna Loa (mafic) to Mount St. Helens (silicic), the latter of which was far more explosive due to high silica content, which increases magma viscosity and acts as a trap for (superheated) water and other substances.

I encourage you and others to use the excellent USGS resources, such as:

If by "heal" you mean something else that is not remission, then you should not have taken issue with "isn't that obvious" as "that" was reffering to remission.

Critically, the ramadan fast is not a very low calorie diet. It isn't a diet at all. A very low calorie diet is not a fast. So your whole point is invalidated.
I took it to 140ft a month ago. It complained and turned the screen yellow as a warning, but readings in the built in Depth app (which measures depth, water temp, and dive time but is NOT a dive computer) matched my dive computer exactly at that depth and all other depths.

It’s rated as water resistant to 100m, 300+ feet - it’s just the software and measurement sensor bits that get queasy at 130ft.

The software APIs for measuring depth have an enum for this: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coremotion/cmwater...

It doesn’t, which is why heart rate monitors intended for swimming activities have on-board storage.
Not my only, but if I was starting out again I'd consider an apple watch ultra over a dedicated computer. Consequences of computer failure on a well-planned open water rec dive are fairly minimal. This doodad, plus a backup basic watch capable of working at that depth (so you have an idea of time although really your decision to surface is largely driven by air remaining) and I'd be confident. Ascent rate is the only unknown then, but you have a buddy or a group to follow. If you're really unlucky, losing your computer and your group, you just remember your training and swim up really really slowly. Missing your safety stop isn't going to kill you. Losing your dive boat might though :)

This is my latest effort to combat my own period of extreme loneliness.

Reading through The biology of desire by Marc Lewis, there is a part where he mentions that addicts and other people struggling to improve their condition have a hard time visualising their life as a continuous thread from the better day, the current pain and struggles, and a more wholesome future. Their lives have lost a sense of time and instead it tends to become circular, where days, past and future blur into a fog which is hard to get out of.

I feel loneliness is very similar, and I want to try something different now. I have been working towards a better version of myself, but having no one to share my achievements, my days, or just what latest TV show I have been enjoying is a major obstacle to my progress. I feel I would enjoy having someone I can just share what I have done today, rant about that piece of tech, and share some thoughts. No real rules, no structure, no obligation. Just a place I can say something, and there's someone that answers back. Like those IRC channels we used to idle on with friends back in the day.

This is a real shot in the dark, and quite terrifying, but would anyone be interested in something like that? I was thinking of a Discord channel, or IRC, or a group chat, just to have a place to share some thoughts whenever you feel like it.

I don't know what I'm doing but, what the hell, if you're interested, shoot me an email and we'll set something up.

> "Hand-crafted" imperative code will always have more potential, but most code is not this sort of code, and most engineers probably don't have the skillset to be able to do this, at least not when traded-off with implementing features and shipping customer value (no criticism, this is likely the right trade-off).

This trade-off sounds like declarative frameworks make it easier for bad developers to make mediocre software while making it impossible for great developers to make great software?
Are there any advantages to minimizing server code?
Perhaps you'd like a word count instead?

I believe the way all of these reading time estimates are calculated is a simple `wordCount / averageWordsPerMinute`.
Dive computers don't keep you alive during the dive, they keep you alive afterwards :P But seriously, if a dive computer fails, you go off your buddy's computer or scrub the dive and go with a maximum surface interval. At worst, this watch failing means you have to end early. Dive computers have extra safety precautions around surfacing too quickly, but divers are trained to use things such as watching air bubbles to time their surfacing. I have never seen a setup that only uses digital gauges for air pressure.

This is all rec diving (<= 40m). I would never, ever use an Apple device for tech diving, even if some future version is rated for it.
What you are talking about is important, but it is not what corresponds to the notion of "reproducibility in science".

Ideally, what we need is being able to 1) reproduce from scratch, 2) rerun the experiment with the code used (which has a lot of pragmatical advantages too).

In fact, I would argue that even the examples you are giving are not "reproducibility". Reproducibility means that if you redo it _from scratch_, you reach the same conclusion. If the conclusion is "this algorithm describe in this paper is 20+-10% better than the algorithm described in this other paper, in those conditions", then, ideally, what you need to do is to read the first paper and follow the explanation to recreate the algorithm, read the second paper and follow the explanation to recreate the algorithm, read the conditions and reproduce them yourself, and then, you check if you get a compatible conclusion.

As for improving on top of others, again, the scientific paper explains the algorithm, just apply the recipe in your personal implementation, and you will have the same result.
Even better: if you don't, you may have found a bug that exists in their implementation, and you have made a scientific progress that you would not have obtained if you would have just cut-and-pasted their code.

But as I've said, the ideal is to have both. Still, the sentence that we reacted on as "not scientific because not compatible with reproducibility" is still valid. It is true that, in practice, the code is not very useful in science (it may be a bit useful, but not as crucial as some may think), and it is true that this does not lead to a reproducibility problem, because the goal of the concept of reproducibility is to guarantee the existence of _independent_ implementations to check if we reach the same conclusion.
> you can use MVVM

But they are still a deviation from the model the SDK was designed for. The original Apple SDKs are totally bog-standard MVC models. If I try anything other than that, the code complexity increases a lot (especially with VIPER).

I think that a lot of these models were developed to allow projects that were really supposed to be doable by one experienced person, to be broken into something for a team of relatively inexperienced people. That's not necessarily a bad thing; but it's not how I work.

I like keeping things simple; even though it never ends up simple (See "Programmer's Credo," above).

> but you can use observable objects & such with UIKit

Yeah, but it's not really "native" support, like AppKit. SwiftUI has it baked into its DNA.
There's also the russian vaccine, it seems a little better .. considering the context they could have made a deal to buy some..

In any case there are multiple paths available and so far they seem stuck on the failing one. It's strange.
China is authoritarian without civil liberties. They could force all of the 80+ to vaccinate just as they force people to stay inside their apartments for months.

There are three reasons they probably don't do this:

1) Their vaccines don't provide high enough protection to prevent overwhelming the healthcare system.

2) They have fostered mRNA conspiracy theories and pushing an mRNA vaccine would be a huge embarrassment to the communist party.

3) Beating the US by a wide margin on Covid deaths is a point of pride.

For the most part typescript does not significantly change what you input (except, of course, by stripping type annotations, type declaration, and type imports) unless you request transpilation to earlier ECMAScript versions or a different module format. (It will also by default transform TSX to ECMAScript, but it can be configured to output as JSX instead, which could later the handled by a different JSX transpiler if needed.)

The main exceptions are enums, and decorators, both of which perform straightforward transformations. My understanding is that adding new such features are forbidden as the TypeScript team considers them to be historical mistakes. If new syntax is added in the future is should be such that it can be mechanically stripped, leaving the obvious underlying JS behind.

There also exist some historical features like namespaces or const enums that have long been considered essentially deprecated by the team (not marked as such in the documentation, as there are no plans to actually delete support for them, but they won't work correctly in isolatedModules mode for example). In practice those features are not used in new codebases since project templates will be configured with isolatedModules enabled.

Like heaping earth to build which leaves only so many possible forms (like pyramids) there are only so geometric patterns before things start getting massively complex. Just like the Swastika, the hex-star (seal of solomon, star of david), the cross, & the pentagram (which are all very ubiquitous), these are things you would discover yourself looking for interesting geometric figures, likely quite early in your search for designs. It seems to come down to angles that were easily measurable, like (in degrees) 30, 45, 60, 90.

I have several IKEA Vindriktning air quality sensors (measuring PM2.5 but not CO, CO2 or VOC) equipped with an ESP32 with Tasmota on it. The level of soldering is trivial and the hardware looks really nice. It feeds a Grafana dashboard via MQTT, Node RED and InfluxDB. All is well documented and easy to do - you will find lots of resources online. And the Tasmota toolchain can be used for many other sensors as well.

> As a second tradeoff, choosing JavaScript over TypeScript tend to make codebases less complect and more modular, at least in the teams I've been in who maintained codebases with both languages.

[citation needed]... My experience is the exact opposite. Javascript code bases I've worked with had crazy mega functions that would accept any arbitrary input and try to return something. Typescript code bases (in my experience) tend to be more modular because the interfaces between things are clearly defined. If you want to use code written by someone else, it's immediately obvious what structure your data needs to have to work with their code.

> But if I'd want something that is optimized for ease of install, ease of contributing to and minimal build tooling, choosing JavaScript over TypeScript is a no-brainer.

I mean, they are talking about having parts written in rust:

> Rust-based replacements. Once we have a more well-defined API, we may be able to swap out pieces into Rust-based alternatives for performance. This could look like creating NAPI modules written in Rust for Node.js, writing in Rust and compiling to WebAssembly, creating a standalone ESLint executable written in Rust that calls into the JavaScript portions, or other approaches.

That looks like an _extremely_ complex build system setup compared to using the Typescript. They are also planning to document the types anyway:

> ESM with type checking. I don't want to rewrite in TypeScript, because I believe the core of ESLint should be vanilla JS, but I do think rewriting from scratch allows us to write in ESM and also use tsc with JSDoc comments to type check the project. This includes publishing type definitions in the packages.

The only possible trade-off I can think of is that type checking with tsc + JSDoc results in a faster build than using typescript directly. Personally, I find it a bit odd to use tsc + JSDoc instead of TS, but hey, they can do what they want.
So you agree? The population boom and bust cycle is exactly how nature functions in almost all cases. Life attempts to expand as much as possible consuming all available resources and the only limit is exhaustion of those resources or being consumed by other life. Humanity is the only example of a living organism that is aware of this and attempts to mitigate it by finding more efficient ways to use those resources or developing new ones.

That is the point I was trying to make, I was refuting the other commenter's argument from nature that technology is not natural because it doesn't have sustainability built in. They have it backwards, nature is un-directed and un-aware and is therefore unable to find solutions to resource depletion. Humanity is aware and capable of changing their behavior and their environment and is therefore capable of efficiently using existing resources and finding and developing new ones.

I curate links to YouTube creators and keep them in a local html file. I visit YT only in private mode, usually through a vpn, use adblock, and never log in. I drop in on creators I haven't gone to in a wild to see what they are up to. I use recommendations only to find other creators, since the actual video recommendations are usually garbage.

What I really wish YT had was a creator recommendation system. A way to find creators with content similar to the creator of the video I'm currently watching would be much more helpful to me.

You don't dive with two regulators? I haven't been in a while but I fairly distinctly remember having two regulators per person, that way if one fails you don't have to immediately fall back on passing regulators back and forth breath-by-breath. The backup isn't a particularly nice regulator, probably reusing the mechanism your vest uses to inflate, but better than nothing.
> , and that doesn't require some proprietary, expensive, and/or old-school industrial protocols to talk to.

why is old-school a problem?
I'm a recreational diver. I wouldn't use this as my _only_ computer, but I would say the same for the computers I currently use. I always dive with 2 computers just in case one fails, a battery dies, etc. As 'latchkey said, never rely on a single piece of equipment. With that being said, I would be willing to swap out my wrist computer for the Apple Watch Ultra. The superior display and UX would actually be a big quality of life improvement over my current wrist computer. And, I'd still have my backup computer in my SPG to compare against or fall back to.

You can definitely get a solid dive computer for under $400, and the $1000+ are going to have features that won't be present on the Apple Watch Ultra, like air integration, lower depth ratings, etc.

Paying other people to take you diving can get pretty expensive quickly, but the dive professionals themselves generally do not make a lot of money. It is one of those things that people do professionally because they love it, not because it pays well. (Speaking only about recreational diving here, industrial diving is a whole different beast.)
As I recall PADI recommendations is to have a backup plan equivalent to the primary plan. Which often is easiest with redundant devices and each buddy having the same or similar computer.

I think it’s very much not recommended to have going computerless as a backup. And the idea that you are safe to do so because your “within no-deco limits” is potentially dangerous, as your relying on the computer to tell you if you are still within that limit.

Many people go quite close to the limit. Personally I stay far away from them, but safety recommendations are the same for everyone.
Not trying to underplay how impressive the tech here is, but could you expand on what you see as the ($) value of something like this? From my perspective, these look like not-so-interesting stock-photography-level photos, nearly all of which have clear tells that they're AI-generated.
I have 0 domain knowledge as well, but it's pretty clear that no "comparison" can be made considering that Subsurface is a visualizer of logs from a dive computer, and Oceanic+ turns an Apple Watch into a dive computer.

I guess it's possible that Subsurface might add support for visualizing logs from Oceanic+.
Name literally any activity you do, and there's a HN commenter ready to lecture you about it.
This is an excellent point, and one that I hadn't thought of. I've seen dive computer failure but never erroneous readings.
Minor nitpick; but the Saturn didn’t have a VMU; or Visual Memory Unit, that was the Dreamcast. You’re confusing NiGHTs Into Dreams’ A-life (which was still a thing but only in-game) with Sonic Adventure’s Chao system, which allowed you to take the little buggers on the go as I did in High School, lol.
Then the end game would be to be something useful that people use in their daily lives.

I think that's what was meant when calling it digital currency.
