> I spent a year living in Europe and was surprised at how much worse nutrition labels were in Europe at the time.

When was that? There is compulsory information about ingredients (sorted by percentage, so you readily see when "sugar" is on the very top), France has "nutriscore" which is a A-E scale of nutritional value.

There are strict rules on naming (for instance "100% juice" means that the jucie directly comes from pressed fruit (concentrates are forbidden) and that nothing else can be added).
It can be hard to determine if they’re really “the same” as many items have changed to keep similar price points. I know there’s bowling about Levis.

It wasn’t so much the “association” as it was the massive criminal conspiracy they were convicted of.
And to think most of this is done by a handful of volunteers + a few employees of open-source friendly companies like Redhat.
> It suggests that if developers were better communicators, then things would move faster & better forward.

That is exactly what would happen, within developer circles themselves at least. A huge amount of miscommunication and lack of communication routinely takes place within dev teams, and that process knot forming behavior would be eliminated by better communications.
Agreed: how is this a "circuit"? How does the output drive the input of another one of these?

It looks like this is just "shine a laser at a material to change it, and then use another laser to detect the difference."
De Gustibus Non Est Disputandum, I guess, seeing applications without menu bars (the greatest invention in IT, bar none (if you'll excuse the pun)) just makes me feel like I'm looking at someone putting square blocks on wheel axles or praying for lightning to hit a tree to get fire.

Like one of the screenshots has in the title bar a looking glass, three tabs, a check mark in a circle, a hamburger, and the close button. What am I even looking at?

Then it would be irresponsible for the US congress to be spending public money to buy tools which create the expectation that we would sustain our effort sending our beloved sons to immerse themselves both in that culture and the cruel trauma of war.

But does anyone here actually think that pointless cruelty is an important part of the relevant east asian cultures? I know myself that my understanding is so superficial that I'd be arrogant and lazy to make any judgements without spending far more time and attention to learn. I also have not seen any evidence of that in the individual people I've met, only the same varied mix of human cruelty and compassion in other peoples.

My guess is that they simply haven't thought much about this yet. One step at a time.
> There is a very well understood definition for shadowbanning - only the poster can see their own posts.

Except that's not how most people understand the term. Terminology is defined by its usage, so if you're in the minority of how this term is used, you've lost. We already had this debate about hacker/cracker over 20 years ago. Hacker is still here, so get used to the broader meaning of shadowbanning.
If we do end up creating a processor using this, I wonder if it will need liquid cooling.
Interestingly, right-wing . left-wing is usually defined specifically for the European political spectrum. The United States has a liberal - conservative divide, but it is vastly different from what we see in Europe.

If anything, left/right does not mean anything in the US due to the radically different Overton window. As a European, I would consider the Democrat party to be right-wing. If you want left-wing, you have to go as far as Sanders or AOC.
It seems that to be included in the billionaire tech bro club you must adhere to a certain right-wing worldview. Or, if you are more Marxist in bent, that the accumulation of capital naturally and inevitably leads to the internalization of right-wing worldviews.

Weekly meetings between the FBI and top Twitter executives is "akin to clicking the report button"? Name one other Twitter user that had this privilege. I think that's a pretty strong sign that you're trying to stretch this analogy too far.
grew up in 70s, felt the same way. But when I purchase these cars for my son, I felt that best Hot Wheels were way better than Matchbox. That being said, Hot Wheels does make some kooky models that I would stay 100 miles away from just on aesthetic grounds.

Thanks for sharing your insights!

Why don't you need to 're-layout and re-draw the entire page on every update' on native? Animations that affect layout still affect layout when on native, right?

Is the reason that JS (and/or the browser sandbox) is single-threaded, whereas native is natively multi-threaded by default?

So the point is that cheap mobile devices may not have a GPU, but they may have multiple cores, so they can layout & draw using multiple-threads?
>Next, a short but powerful laser pulse is fired into the water jet. This bumps electrons out of the dissolved salts, essentially boosting the conductivity of the water. A second laser can read back what state the water is in, providing the “on” and “off” options of an existing transistor.

Sounds like an optical computer much more than a water computer (compared to e.g. microfluidics), and it's much less surprising that an optical switch would switch fast.
It seems an odd idea when we have so many roofs, car parks, roads, and other things that don't already use the sun we could cover in solar panels.
Love the landing page! The mouse-over gifs are a very nice touch :)
FPGA ISP i am using with this project is improved version of ISP that i made for lattice machxo3 FPGA , those FPGA like most FPGAs do not have any MIPI hard PHY.
If you want to port this ISP to Xilinx you would not find hard PHY in many FPGAs and you would need a byte aligner.
That is why Byte Aligner was implemented and left enabled in there for the sake of portability to other FPGA it does not hurt (except for may be very very small performance in very edge case or some FPGA resource consumption).

I had many issues with Crosslink NX part. I never specifically got/or noticed the issue you have mentioned.
So it's not water that makes it fast, it's laser.

Fantastic advice! one (optional, but highly recommended) to add:

turn off your presence/away status.

Just because you’re online does not automatically give permission to bug you. This however goes both ways. So make sure you do eventually respond to others. But there’s no expectation of replying right now.
Too little too late. Their work with Binance was non sensical.
It’s not a crypto issue, it’s to emit such claims without actually a proper audit is ridiculous. Even with all the proper reserves and small prints, it’s still a true lack of integrity to have even entertain the claim.
"In a series of 10 studies, we find that people are more likely to make virtuous decisions on paper than on a digital device because they perceive choices on paper as more real..."

Right, that's not only my experience but also those with whom I've worked (see my earlier post of refusing instructions by email, when on paper they were real and held much more weight).
What do you mean by optional parentheses? Are you referring to the square brackets? Carp is inspired by Clojure, and in both [] is a reader macro that instantiates an array (a vector, as opposed to a list). I'm not a fan of using the array syntax to define function arguments.
For me personally, NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP was probably peak UI design.

Mac OS X Server/Rhapsody v, where they basically mixed NeXTSTEP and Mac OS 9, and early Mac OS X releases (before brushes metal) were also nice. All downhill from there… now get off my lawn! ;)

I've always thought that TiVo was way ahead of its time. The company is still alive but it feels weird to talk about it in present tense when we've got Roku, Chromecast, Firestick, and Apple TV. Even the era of cable provider DVRs made me feel like TiVo was ahead of its time!
Or help save additional energy otherwise expended on an air humidifier...
I will say my sole frustration thus far with Vite has been the inability to turn off caching in a meaningful way. This is especially important when you are developing a plug-in for a larger project installed into your node_modules - the Vite cache won’t update changes unless it thinks it should, usually via version number change.
As an early and complete VR adopter I have ranted in the past on how fast VR loses it's luster. But for me the reason is not setup (charging, updating, putting everything into place, et cetera), it's software.

The good VR games are really good, games like HL Alyx. But after almost 10 years of VR usage I still can't name more than 3-7 pieces of VR Software (games included) I would put into the "worth it" category. Anything else is just very short lived, feel like tech demos. Fun? Sure, but ultimately worse than regular software/games. Gimmicky overhead, so to speak.

Hence why my VR setup is collecting dust most of the time.

Seeing Facebook's vision for VR, which is just rebuilding products we had as far back as 2003 (Second Life) and even 2014 (VR Chat), but worse and riddled with ads and darkpatterns, is what has made me lose even more of my interest. I have to add that I was an Oculus owner in the past, I am now an Index owner, but what Facebook does is still relevant because they are the "VR believers", pouring the most money into it.

In short: There is just nothing interesting happening, my VR setup is collecting dust. Demoing it to my friends is basically the only thing I do with it nowadays but they lost interest too. I don't agree that it's a hardware problem, for me it's a software problem. Also: too much "vision", too little actual determined (software) projects.
Key phrase was "hostile intent".
> It's against my base instincts

Why is this against your base instincts? It’s quite the opposite for me so I’m curious how that developed in you.
720p@240FPS would be little hard because of limitations on the USB controller side. because of 100Mhz and 32bit limit you have possibility of only 400Mbytepersecnd and with few % overhead you have may be get around 200 FPS of color UYV image. if you are ok without colors then you can get to 400FPS @ 720p

So? OP claimed nobody was willing to do private communication on facebook/meta infrastructure. More than 2 Billion people on the planet do just that on WhatsApp, which is Meta. It doesn't matter that WhatsApp started as its own thing, it is owned by Meta and people use it all the time for very private things.

Facebook messenger is another example, hundreds of million of people use it all the time.

Ask HN: How does a developer learn to be a IT manager?
## Background

I'm from a "fullstack" software development (React/Vue/Node.js/Python/Go and friends).

For the past few years I've been working in startups. I co-founded my own four years ago but we ran out of cash about a year ago. Burnt out, I took a job offer from a previous client, which is a medium-sized manufacturing company of about 500 people, to create an "digital transformation" department (parallel to an "IT" team). We have mostly developing software to automate things and providing technical advice here and there.

I suppose because the company thought I did a good job and the original "IT" team didn't, they're merging my team and the "IT" team and put me in charge – of all the team and the responsibilities.

Suddenly, in addition to software development, I'll need to worry about the "IT" decisions: which computers to buy for the colleagues; lease or buy the printers; physical server or cloud; introducing a "MES" to improve factory efficiency; compliances regarding personal information etc.

## The question

My questions is, how does a developer become good at the "IT" things? I understand the need to communicate and understand the business model, etc. But I don't know how to make good decisions and more importantly, how to gather information that support my decision. I have an intuition about how to simplify a function, but no idea about formulating a BYOD policy.

So, how do I become a good IT manager? Which books should I read? Which blogs should I subscribe to? What can I do to ensure that I'll do a good job? A speech that'll give me a useful framework to understand my job?
> I can tell you from my time doing social media threat monitoring that I'd monitor and alert organizations of maybe 10-15 people per month for things like threatening to blow up buildings followed with active attempts to recruit people to support those efforts. And that's for relatively niche, unpoliticized, institutions.

> If the FBI is only identifying and acting on 25 instances of active recruitment for crime on twitter per year, it doesn't indicate that they're strong-arming twitter. It means they're asleep at the wheel.

... or it could be they're not wanting to identify and act on their own entrapment (oops I mean sting) operations.
Zigbee?

My man, ESP32 boards get you 802.11 WiFi for like $5 these days.

Zigbee is the kind of protocol designed for even simpler, more power efficient microcontrollers. Think closer to a $1 microcontroller instead.

There is a reason we have lol WiFi light bulbs. The uC that powers the smarts are really cheap these days.
Given that the protocol is E2EE, how do they handle data retention / transparency requests? Does each agency centrally store copies of their employees' encryption keys?
The answer is to make it easier to unionize. Then the law won't need to cover every edge case; instead, those details will be negotiated as part of the union contract.

The song “All Along the Watchtower” by The Jimi Hendrix Experience is a philosophical reflection on life and how one should approach it. It begins with two contrasting characters (a joker and a thief) pondering how to make sense of their lives. Despondently, they realize that no one can agree on a path forward. They then come to the realization that rather than waiting for someone else to help them, they must take their own path and accept their own fate. The song concludes with two riders approaching and the wind blowing in representation of the chaos and unknown that awaits each of us on our personal journeys. The song is meant to remind listeners to move forward undeterred and stay true to themselves.

—

The song "All Along the Watchtower" by Bob Dylan is a commentary on life, questioning the confusion and lack of meaning. The lyrics of the song evoke a feeling of hopelessness and lack of direction. The "joker" representing a skeptic and the "thief" a believer, both trying to make sense of life. The joker is trying to understand why things are the way they are and the thief provides a glimmer of hope with the understanding that life doesn't need to be lived without meaning or purpose. The song continues with imagery of the watchtower, suggesting that we should be attentive to our surroundings, looking out for the signs that might lead us in the right direction. The "two riders" could be a reference to the joker and the thief, both searching for meaning in their lives. Ultimately, the song encourages taking responsibility for our lives and making the most of our time.

I agree. But unfortunately it’s still pretty horrible to use. There’s just a really bad quality feel to it. Like you bought something from China trying to cheap out when you should have bought the branded thing and you’re still at the telling yourself it was a good deal phase of denial.

Edit: this is something that can be fixed but it requires well funded attention and there just isn’t that because the commercial opportunity is entirely on the server.
Interestingly, this is exactly how I found about Buttondown, which I've been using for years to send my own newsletter.
It also helped that it was priced way more sensibly than many alternatives, in a way that grows linearly with the number of subscribers (which is also how, theoretically, ads returns from a newsletter can grow): my then provider would meet me with a massive cliff-edge, going from $0 to about $30/month, if I recall correctly. It's a common behaviour – lock in first, then charge A LOT :)

Which makes me wonder – maybe a simple, overlooked way, to start side hustles is to replicate a service, but offer better pricing that works for niche/bootstrapped contributors, as opposed to creating niche versions of the service?
I think the goal is to drive engagement. Unfortunately for Musk the engagement will cost him more compute resources even though he's lost a lot of advertising revenue.

If Twitter had a proper functioning board doesn't everyone think they would have prevented him from driving away advertisers and then threatening them with lawsuits for not advertising? If I was an investor in Twitter I would be livid. It appears most investors take it in stride because they worship Musk.
I fear that this may actually be very bad news. He's also shutting down the website. Tom is 94.
