> Where We Are Now

> Here’s a spoiler: Today, if you open the Shopify Mobile app, all four root screens are in React Native already!

If you write “where we are now: we’ve ported all four root screens”, that’s what I’m going to hear. I’m not going to look through screenshots for contradictory figures. If they have actually ported 139 screens, maybe they should have said “where we are now: we’ve ported 139 screens”? As far as I can see they don’t say anything like that at all, are you inferring from screenshots alone?

Regardless, my point still stands – if you need to set up a training programme and a facilitation team and it’s going to be a multi-year effort, and after all that you proudly tell people that they can’t tell the difference between the old version and the new version… this still does not sound compelling at all, even if you have got almost a quarter of the way through the project in three years.
> in my wife's experience most of her main symptoms did go in the first year, but the tiredness and fog persisted far longer. Its been nearly 3 years now, and she still isn't where she was before in terms of fitness or where she'd like to be, but continues to improve.

That's been my experience too. I've also adjusted my lifestyle to compensate. I try not to do non-necessary activities too many days in a row anymore. Every now and then I get cocky about it and try to "push through" the tiredness/fatigue and I get a rude reminder about why I haven't been doing that.
Recital | Remote (Global, core hours: North America mornings) | Full-time | https://recital.software

Recital is the negotiation workspace for contracts professionals. We’re building a web app that brings standard development tooling to the world of contract negotiations, with features analogous to version control, diffs, and other common IDE features.

We're a close-knit, global, cross-functional team, part of an early-stage, all-remote startup. It's our second startup in the space (the first was acquired). We follow modern product management (discovery) & development (DORA) practices, emphasize developer experience as an accelerator of customer value, and use provably effective management techniques (à la Manager Tools). You can read more about our team at https://recital.software/working-at-recital/

We're looking for an intermediate+ full-stack developer specializing in CSS, and for a backend developer (almost a data engineer) specializing in data management and background jobs.

How does pointing out idiots doing idiotic things "gin up fear"? If it gins up anything it's pity. The fearful ones are the people being intubated and denying the cause up to their last breath, they're so fearful that they might be even partly responsible for their circumstances, they lack the moral constitution to admit it. They're weak, and weak people do not induce fear unless they're in a mob.

If I showed you a homeless person dead from a heroin overdose, would you fear heroin? No, because it's entirely within your control whether you use it or not. I think you need to learn how propaganda works.
I should mention I am referring specifically to police in the United States. The short answer is because cops defend cops, including bad cops. People like to say it's just a few bad apples, but it's far more prevalent than that. And even if it were just 1 in 100, the fact that the cops band together to protect a rapist/murderer/whatever shows that they care more about unity than morals.

I realize this answer is lacking, but I've had this argument so many times and it drains hours out of my day to pursue it - because the supporting data is complicated and people are correct to provide counter arguments (and then I have to respond and it goes back and forth for a while). I encourage you to do your own research on statistics regarding police officers in the US. The one everybody likes to cite is how many police officer's beat their wives - 40%. And even this data point is very complicated and requires a lot of nuance and so on.

But since people enjoy stories, here's one egregious example of a sheriff's department abusing their power. Even I think this is exceptionally awful and most police departments aren't this bad, but it's well researched and makes for a good read.

Modern stop-motion animation for movies – gears, 3D printing
From the article:

Although mechanical heads are used for most of the key characters in the film, Pinocchio himself was animated with replacement faces. Because he has to look like he’s made of wood, he needed to have a hard surface, the animation supervisor Brian Leif Hansen said, explaining that 3,000 of the faces were printed. “His expressions are snappy; the mechanical faces look softer and more fluid compared to Pinocchio. He’s built differently and animated in a different way to set him apart.”

The character is the first metal 3-D-printed puppet, Hansen said. Because he’s skinny, “the only way they could make him strong enough was to print the puppet in metal. He’s a strong little guy, quite difficult to break. The animators loved animating him.”
half of 50 is 25 so at first blush one might believe the answer should end in 25?
Have you looked at what's happened in Bentonville in the last few years? The cycling infrastructure that's been built extends well beyond the core and does a remarkable job connecting the suburban style development with the downtown core.

They've built miles and miles of greenways and off street bike paths. I was there three months ago and rode all over town without once feeling threatened by auto traffic. Is it perfect? No, absolutely not. But I defy anyone to go there, ride their bike to commute around, and walk away thinking "getting around by bike in in the US is impossible."

I don't think Bentonville is repeatable everywhere, and it may even be a fluke, but it's certainly proof that it can be done.
Two years of high inflation is not "transitory". Inflation is barely slowing down, but is still very high.
This submission uses a different headline from the article (unless the article is A/Bing it), and is subtly misleading. Saying that 75% of long haulers are free of symptoms after a year, implies that you are looking at only the subset of patients who developed long-term symptoms to begin with. However, the study is showing that 75% of all COVID cases are free of symptoms after 12 months, meaning 25% of people have long-haul cases. That is worse news that the rewritten headline would suggest.
I'm afraid that if you put a parallax barrier and other 3d stuff in front of a super high quality screen it will not be super high quality. I have a Nintendo 3DS and the screen is fine in either 2D or 3D but it isn't great. I'm not sure if visual professionals will accept the quality of this screen and it seems to me that if you are really serious about 3D shutter glasses and an HFR screen won't seem so bad.
It depends on how you define "dollars", which is the point of having multiple M measures.

M0 is cash, or something you could turn into dollar bills just by asking.

M1 adds in checking accounts, which you can treat as dollars just by writing a check.

M2 adds in savings accounts, which you can turn into dollars just by asking, but there might be a delay because they don't have the bills on hand.

There are more M's out there, which count ever less liquid forms of dollars.

All of them are "dollars". You don't think of yourself as having fewer dollars just because you put them in the bank. But if the bank loans out those dollars, you now count the same money twice: you have it, and somebody else has it.

The correct amount at each level is not a matter of how many dollars "exist", but how much trade is being accomplished. The Federal Research tries to set a level that encourages more trade, without flooding the market.

U-Blox modules aren't just random parts. Someone is going to get found and is going to jail.
I'm not sure you could flash over USB either without significant work. There's no UART <-> USB device on the Ox64, so you need to use an external one connected to some GPIO pins. You could maybe build a DFU mode yourself, but I'm somewhat skeptical it would work (though it might be possible, there's 3 cores in the thing). Despite there being not one, but TWO USB ports on the Ox64, neither are used for flashing. The micro USB type B connector is only used for power delivery and the USB-c is primarily intended for being a host device, ie. for plugging in a camera module.

Edit: to clarify, there's a bug in the bootrom that prevents the initialization of the USB device. Newer revisions of the Ox64 may fix this.

I have doubts that the FBI are just going to let him waltz off onto a yacht and sail into the sunset.

This code runs on AMX co-processor. From the article:

> An important distinction is that the AMX:CPU ratio is not 1:1; not every core has its own AMX co-processor.

My understanding is there's only 1 of those per regular M1 CPU, maybe 4 on the largest one (Ultra).
There is a very substantial cost to destroying the planet chasing after a toxic, highly inefficient and polluting alternative to ICE vehicles. Hybrid vehicles are clearly the answer. Tire pollution is a far more serious problem than tailpipe emissions.

Arguments for the existence of "long covid" are the same ones used by vaccine deniers 10 years ago. "I got vaccinated" ... "later something happened" . Just replace vaccinated with covid. This anti scientific bull needs to stop. People get sick from various diseases, and people get covid some time in their life. Everything bad following it does NOT imply it was due to covid. 90 % have had it or something. Some are bound to have a bad time later on no matter what.
>Sometimes quality of life is better spent not working when you can lean on family and friends Or your own small retirement fund.

And then when enough do, and the result becomes a lifetime of un/under-employment, then they want the retirements or lives of those before or around them, who do you think will pick up the slack?

Sure, quit and be a backpacker. Doing it a while is fun, probably even healthy, but a lifetime of it will not end well for many people. And generally if enough people do it, then society as a whole will have to pay for it.
What is "bad" about it? It's literally the most natural things humans (and most species on the planet) do.
Bobby Yazdani: why enterprise tech is seen as a safe harbor in 2023
Yeah, but there it doesn't matter. You can take your €15k Dacia Spring there and use the Tesla chargers :-)
aside from the tech, I also really like the examples (e.g. cleaning addresses), they are practical uses of GPT. Gave me some ideas too!
Yeah, it's the same problem that Chronic Fatigue sufferers have had for years. Many people clearly do have a problem, but it's hard to quantify, and nobody really knows what causes it.
Some ideas about what makes it challenging:

- A satellite will have to transmit power through the entire atmosphere from space, which will have substantial losses even in perfect conditions

- A satellite constellation in orbit would need many ground stations to transmit power to from space

- Weather will get in the way of transmission to the ground, just like it does with ordinary solar

- The cost of getting a PV array into orbit is very expensive relative to the amount of power it can generate and transmit
Meanwhile, the world is moving to Rust, Go, Julia, fast compiled languages.

And C++20 is actually very nice to use.

In contrast, these two, Ruby and Python, are slogs.

Virus sinks: did you see the recent paper published in Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology? [1] It cites lots of other studies showing that nasal epithelial cells create extracellular vesicles (blobs of stuff floating outside the cells) that have receptors for cold viri. Since the vesicles don't have DNA the virus can't replicate. Infected vesicles get swept up the rest of the immune system, so they're decoy Roach Motels for viruses. The study shows that when the nose gets colder fewer vesicles are created, and claims that's why cold and flu cases increase in the winter.

I've never heard of a highly effective engineering manager being replaced to meet a demographic target. I'd be surprised if this has ever happened, much less being an actual industry problem. I could see them replacing an engineering manager, for reasons unrelated to the target, and replacing them with someone that helps move them toward their target -- but those are drastically different things.

> Why use Vim Online Editor?

> 1. Because you love vim.

> 2. Because you don't have access to vim somehow (maybe you're on a Chromebook that doesn't allow access to the system)

> 4. Because you want a notepad of some sort in the browser, and you want to use vim bindings instead of normal notepad.
Doesn't this diminish the value of a startup, say, if the buyer hands the principals a mountain of cash in a buyout then the principals use that cash to build in the same industry / market the startup they would have if they had all that cash in the first place? Without having the non-compete with the principals, who would even want to buy your startup?
I suggest we also implement open source peer reviewed employment contracts.

Almost always in the end of the recruitment process are you showed the emploment contract fine print.

Been through a non complete clause myself I highly recommend against it. Your skill and work experiance is the most valluable asset to a future employer. Non compete clauses prevent you from seeking jobs in a similar field.
Unfortunately there's still a lot of jobs that require said butt hauling.
I honestly don’t feel bad at all. I am fairly sure the actual creators barely get any compensations from plus 1 subscriber, so in effect one only hurts these streaming sites, which really should finally get the message sent by that.

Fixed for accuracy.
I think you're missing the "unlawful" part. Because this is all totally lawful, according to bankruptcy law.

Bankruptcy proceedings are all about identify all assets and loans, and figuring out how to recover them maximally in order to distribute whatever's left of them to creditors and owners.

This isn't some arbitrary seizure. Obviously an owner can't be allowed to start drawing gigantic loans from a company they control, declare bankruptcy, and think they get to keep the loan money or what they've bought with it. (Same thing as how, in a criminal case, a thief can't sell a stolen painting for $10M cash, and then expect to be able to use that cash to fund their defense.) Bankruptcy court rightly has the power to claw back fraudulent transactions such as these.

I'm not saying the government never abuses search and seizure, but in the specific case of bankruptcy, retrieving assets is the whole first half of bankruptcy (with their reallocation being the second). So bankruptcy is basically the worst example you could use for trying to claim abuse of search and seizure.
I did not realize this. I thought a computer chip, meaning a CPU, was distinct from the IC on which it was implemented. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
I definitely recommend people to consider the base ISA of RISC-V if they want to try to implement a CPU or even full-system emulation.

I understand that implementing a GameBoy emulator might be more attractive because you are working towards something graphical that you can eventually play, and that's what I did first. It was a fun project! You can also get something similar with RISC-V, eg. Doom (SDL example: https://github.com/fwsGonzo/libriscv/tree/master/examples/do...)

The road to fully working DOOM will probably be shorter because you will only have to implement RV32I and then an ELF loader. The rest is handled through SDL2 outside of the emulator, and I/O is handled through system calls from Doom running as a guest inside it. Note that DOOM does not support 64-bit.

Otherwise, if you want to start out with emulating something smaller or something from your childhood check out r/emudev on reddit. A very helpful and nice community there.

You seem to be completely ignoring the rest of the iceberg that this glorified screen rests on.

And no, not every car needs to have top-end leather heated fake-racing shaped seats. Some people just want to get from A to B and not everybody has a SWE salary/compensation like the slightly-detached-from-normal-people's-reality crowd here at HN.

Of course when I discuss this with a tech crowd I need to expect a tech-focused attitude. See it as a challenge .. I mean, some people write compilers that output only move instructions (still Turing complete) or build websites entirely running on solar power. Minimizing electronics in an electric car could just be another creativity-inducing restriction. Just saying "it can't be done" does not sound like real Hacker spirit to me..
Is improving cycling infrastructure thereby increasing miles traveled by bike a success? Or does this need to be completely binary?
Agreed, you are almost always better off resisting that urge and taking note of things that should be improved as you go, otherwise scope balloons out of control.
There is the thing most people don't really think of. They all know HR represents the company and are to look after it's interest. But one major thing, HR needs to keep their job too. I had a really good relationship with HR at one company we were _really_ close. But when the company wanted to get rid of me, she did what anyone else would do that needs their job did the super shady stuff they told her to do and got a new job asap. Most people need their jobs. They need to feed their family.
Hard disagree on this one. I have both a 2021 Tesla Model Y and a 2021 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid. Overall, the Tesla system is much better than the Toyota Infotainment system. For example:

* Tesla maps has a much better zoom/scroll feature (faster, more detail, smoother). The Toyota map requires you to hit the "zoom" button and then click zoom-in/out

* The calendar tool built into the Tesla allows me to easily navigate to the appointment location.

* Tesla maps have way-point selection (set an additional stop between start and end)

* The Toyota Infotainment system does not appear to have a "night mode". Thus, the display puts out a ton of light during night-time driving (even with the brightness level set to minimum)

* Waze is way too "chatty" for my taste

Because of the above, I am forced to use Apple CarPlay in the Toyota because the default UI experience is so horrible. Overall, I like the Toyota (great gas mileage), but I much prefer to drive the Tesla.
I'd second Designer Notes and suggest the Louis Castle episode. It is a tale of small/indie company growing and getting bought by EA. It is really interesting in terms of indie culture joining a corporate environment.

Years after the sale of Louis Castle's Westwood Studios to EA and after Westwood merged with DreamWorks Interactive to become EA Los Angeles -- and long after Mr Castle was involved w/ production -- that RTS team was one of the teams heavily involved with the "EA Spouse" situation. I'm not pointing fingers. Louis Castle wasn't involved. But having lived through the EA Spouse days at EALA, it felt like that this podcast episode was the start of the story of that RTS team, and EA Spouse was one of the major events towards the end.

Also, this may not seem like an inspiration story...but I think it is. Castle is a really good speaker and his passion, tech ability, and business sense really comes across. And it also highlights how brutal the games industry was even back in the 90's.
Loved your final sentence. Had to read it twice to be certain that your choice of certain words was quite deliberate.
> The odds of the US or Britain improving their rail systems in order for them to be more efficient/usable are vanishingly slim, to the point that we should likely bake their crappy nature into our assumptions of requirements.

It's a matter of time: the political polar-opposite states of Texas and California are both working on high-speed rail projects, though they are rather unambitious in scope.

I'm curious if the dysfunction of British Rail is also related to the patchwork privatization like it is in the US. Is that still a thing? last I read, parts of the network - and/or trains - were owned or operated by a Virgin subsidiary.
