I'm not privy to the details of how AirPlay is configured, but knowing Apple, they probably built the streaming part of the protocol atop their own proprietary software tech stack (because that's how they usually solve these issues) and anyone who doesn't pay-to-play (with the corresponding cost burden of confirming interoperability with the infrastructure Apple built) is left out in the cold. Evidence I have for this is that you can control an AirPlay device from anything running Apple software (including a Windows machine running iTunes)... But not Android. Quick Googling confirms that the on-the-wire AirPlay protocol is undocumented.

That's Apple's style and it probably works better for an application like this (there are a lot of problems for which dictatorship is the solution in the technical space... I wish we had a streaming service dictator to solve the Chromecast problem from the other direction).
If you read Psychology Today they do in fact want kids watching porn to erode traditional gender roles and promote homosexuality.
I mentioned Rust, and I left Java and C/C++ out for a reason. Also, none of them have the properties in question (forbids runtime errors and doesn't bitrot).
It's worse than non-sequitur imo, it's contradictory. I expected GP to end his reply saying that those shots were all done with worse cameras than an iPhone on worse display mediums (old magazines) so there's more to be gained from other aspects of photography than upgrading from an iPhone camera.
I'm left a bit conflicted by what conclusions to draw from this effort.

How much of this is due to how much easier it is to publish something these days? Every statistics package spits out publication-ready charts and tables, Latex/Word has automated much of the typesetter's art, drafts can be communicated instantly via email, there are instantly searchable and linked databases of papers, etc, etc.

Think about what it was like in the 1950's, when many scientists were hiring typists to convert their longhand manuscripts into something an editor could read, attaching hand drawn figures, then heading down to the post office to mail the draft in. That draft then had to be copied and mailed to reviewers, who then mailed their opinions back, every step taking at least a few days of communication overhead. It was a different world and it gradually changed with widespread adoption of different technologies.

Also how does this interact with another pair of common suggestions for improving science: publishing negative results and doing more replications? Is this a sign that those two good practices are already occurring? Is it possible that the higher rate of disruption was due to shoddier work in the past?

How is banning your employees from getting jobs with competitors aligned with a free market? That's the opposite of a free market: it prohibits me, the worker, from choosing a company that I want to work for. If I can't get a job with a company I agree with because I'm under a noncompete (perhaps the incentives aren't good enough anymore) then I'm kind of fucked, huh?
Cover Letter AI – The ultimate tool for crafting the perfect cover letter
It hasn't cleared peer review, it's a preprint (which is pretty common in cryptography, peer review usually happens when results are already old news).
Hello everyone,
This is my first post on this platform and I am nervous as well as excited. I have been experimenting with generative AI for a while now and I always wanted to build something with it and then an idea hit me during the Christmas dinner & decided to give it a shot. The idea came from one of my pain point years ago i.e. writing cover letters for jobs and I thought I could create something with help of generative AI which can generative very good cover letters. Then followed hours of research to see what is out there. I found a lot of products out there but nothing really came across that was close to what I wanted to build. Therefore I decided to go ahead and ship the product, not with any expectations. After couple of days of struggle & nights spend coding both frontend & backend, I finally got it ready before end of the year. I decided to post it on Product Hunt & since then have gotten a lot of upvotes, which I am very grateful for. Then I read somewhere then I should post about it here as this is a big community of builders. So here I am. I am really forward to hearing from you. Feel free to give it a try.

Thank you for taking your time.

Cheers,
Sanyog

The fact that the if condition is false means it won't just run the whole block straight through but you can still jump to a label in it. A goto statement would also allow you to jump into an otherwise-unreachable block.

I would agree that treating economic efficiency as an end to itself isn't ideal - that creates lots of obvious problems. It's probably super efficient to have child labor, for example.

> I think part of me just laments the fact that previous generations took a much bigger risk to form unions and modern generations have largely let it fall to the wayside.

I agree, and it's frustrating not just here but in the political realm as well. I think the Greatest Generation came back from the war and took hold of, and created instutitions: universities, the FDA, the CDC, the FAA, the MacArthur Foundation (just a random thing that came to mind), and importantly unions that protected workers rights and living standards. In the political realm I recently volunteered as a poll worker - it was a ton of fun, truth be told albeit a long day. But many people, friends, family, etc. thought it was a bit weird. We can't have nice things if we don't take care of them or do the hard work of democracy (or unionization, or maintaining valuable institutions) if we don't actually do it.

I'm not sure where this apathy and angst crept in, but I bet suburbanization and social media helped create and subsequently accelerate it to the point where we have some serious problems that need to be addressed.
> So I guess it can be used to implement POSIX compliant interfaces that don't use optional option arguments.

Yes, that was my intention.
Love the advice! I made a targeted team move last year to help my side project, but didn't even consider marketing. I might have to see whats available.
> There was a survey a few years ago of how much more people would be willing to pay for cars that could drive themself, and the median answer was $0. This is because quite a few people gave a negative number ...

Perhaps some people did give a negative answer, but that isn't really why the median is zero. If you asked 100 people, and 51 said $0, and the other 49 said anything else at all (including all saying $1m) then the median would be $0. No negative answers needed.
How much of this is class signifiers in the age of increasingly tenuous existences on anyone but the wealthy? I wouldn’t own a farm even with existing subsidies on agriculture specifically because it will destroy my body and then I’ll be on the hook for all that healthcare.
I don't think I said that. All places people live, aside from frontiers, have rules applied to them and those rules affect how people get around. The Netherlands has different rules than the US, and within that framework the market (I didn't say the word free) shows a preference for ebikes.

Similarly, when I lived in the US I had to go 1.1 miles to the nearest coffee shop (or shop of any sort), and opening a coffee shop in my neighbourhood would have been illegal, and shut down very quickly. And that wasn't even all that far from the downtown of a medium-sized city (Sacramento).
I don’t really agree with that. If driving 7+ people is something you do every day, sure. But for the vast majority of people, there is no valid reason whatsoever.

I’ve never owned a car, and stopped during the middle of my driving lessons because I didn’t see the purpose in it. That was 10 years ago, and I’ve moved halfway across the country, traveled a lot, never had a car, and overall I spend significantly less on travel than the friends who do own cars (while traveling more comfortably)

I’m kind of with you on this with the games. Going down the whole “ethical” piracy is a moral conundrum, so let me not go there.

However, pirating a game to try it out as a demo before buying seems very legitimate. I have truly spent 30-60 bucks on one game to realize I won’t play it more than a few hours.

Technically, this loophole can be fixed on Steam if they have a 15 day return policy no questions asked. That seems very reasonable, but they don’t. Their early-access stuff is a huge money sink. Game pass is a step in the right direction, but their library is limited.

> employees to choose to not join companies with contracts that they don't agree with

And do what? There's not a robust social safety net in the US, if every company in your industry has a boilerplate non-compete you can't just choose not to sign any of them.

> employers offer better incentive to not leave for roles at risk to poaching e.g. RSUs.

Why would they do that when they can just put non-competes in their contracts? Or to put it another way, it's extremely hard to quantify how many people didn't sign an employment contract due to a non-compete (and even harder to quantify the value of that potential employee), it's extremely easy to quantify the cost of an RSU program. Which solution do you think an entity optimized for profit maximization will choose most frequently?
Round trip latency matters here, which would get you down to 150km without any slowdown through fiber.
That's all true. Likewise I am just pointing out the underlying reasons why property deeds get more protection than stuff that the people writing the constitution thought was less worthy of protection.

Where we stand now is that courts are less likely to say that congress has no right to shorten patent and copyright terms, than to allow congress to take land without compensation based on market value.

And, in the case of non-competes, that may say even existing contracts cannot lay a proprietary claim to something between your ears.
That’s what I learned too…

Working in the music industry shattered a lot of the glamorous illusions. I also learned that from peers who were chewed up and spit out by the major label machines.

For those 7 years, I was constantly broke, and being taken advantage of by people in the industry with more leverage.

Then I met someone in the office that thought it was crazy that I had a music career before I became a programmer. But it’s the same reason they’re in the office too! It’s really hard, and even if you have that special “it” factor, it can require more runway than most people are willing to give to get there.

100%, I noticed it immediately.
My understanding is that most non-competes in the US are not enforceable in the first place. So while I think there are situations where non-competes are valid, I think it would be pretty safe to make a rule that says, "if you are not prepared to actually take an employee to court to enforce non-compete, you should be willing to go to court to defend it."
> but I think it's the author's duty to document that they don't take contributions

It is polite to do so, and I'd make the effort, but I certainly wouldn't call it a duty at all.

> and to disable the relevant features in the tools they use.

That isn't always possible, and even when it is this does not stop contributions perhaps coming in by other means (email if you have an address publicly known, issue reports, …).

Please don't conflate British Rail mismanagement with "trains are bad". Your trains are bad. America's trains are bad. They don't have to be.

There is a disconnect here with you replying to someone who was talking about the ideal, with your reality. No one is saying train systems in a lot of places, right now, are perfect. We can make them more perfect in addition to moving more freight onto rail, doing more last-mile deliveries on e-cargo bikes, and making it reasonable for people to replace more or most of their sub-5km car trips with a bicycle. Not only is that possible, but it's necessary to approach that ideal.
Most cars (all?) have the option to dim the dashboard backlight.

I find Saab's solution to be extremely elegant - on some, if not all models, there's a night mode button - what happens is that all non-essential instruments are simply dimmed to black (leaving only the speedo lit), until something happens which warrants your attention; the instrument in question will then come on.

Simultaneously, it dims all button backlights &c to just about off, so that you only get some assistance in locating the control you're after, not losing your night vision the moment you let your eyes stray from the road.
Whoops, is it possible to edit the title?
Agreed. I think this is fundamentally a sampling rate observation.

Are content owner letters/lawsuits still a thing? Piracy was cool(tm) when I was a broke high school student, but now that I have assets worth being sued over (and now that if my ISP cut me off I couldn't just move to a different apartment at a moment's notice) I'll just pay for the Bluray or for a month of Hulu or whatever, it's far simpler.

I have a significant legitimate media library (>1TB), I have the Plex/Kodi infrastructure to stream it to my TV, but going one step further and mixing in piracy is a step I'm not willing to take.
> If you want me to consider your opinion valid, I challenge you to take 1 year without viewing it, and then reconsider.

That's a pretty dang high bar. This is like me saying "if you don't think plain oatmeal is the best breakfast, try eating it every day for a year before I'll consider your opinion valid."

Like, totally fine to disagree with people here, but if your argument is that people need to spend a couple percent of their remaining life following your rules before you'll consider their argument, then don't be surprised when people entirely ignore whether you think their arguments are valid.
It's not just the platform. Another hindrance is baseline expectations: if Tesla designs the exterior strictly form-follows-cda, it's the "Tesla style". If an ICE maker does the same they break brands identity. Same for interior minimalism. Same for configuration options. They are used to selling a product that is basically solved (consider how cheap you can get e.g. a Dacia) and filled whatever capacity in terms of mass, cost and complexity with extra bells and whistles. That their customers now expect, ICE or not. Or that they suspect their customers to still expect, that's perfectly sufficient to never dare going a bit leaner. But for a BEV the manufacturer mostly sells a battery (in terms of mass, in terms of cost, in terms of quality) and the entire rest needs to be lean. Lean in cost, lean in complexity, lean in physical characteristics like mass and cda like it wasn't really all that necessary with the ICE.

A trivial example (in unnecessary complexity, physical properties not really involved): on the German website, when you pretend to be ordering an Audi A6 you get twelve different sets of wheels to choose from at five price points. And that's before you add winter wheels to the mix. And tire options, and different approaches to the pressure gauge problem and theft preventing bolts. The Tesla S offers a choice between baseline and expensive an optional winter wheel. Now this isn't an example that directly relates to range, but it's organisational cruft. They need to have boatloads of people employed only for solving various aspects of their solution to the made-up problem of not enough wheel choice (all the way from design to spare parts logistics..) and that robs focus. Those people might actually have better careers than their peers dealing with batteries and they do compete for intraorganizational attention. It's all rooted in customer expectations built over decades of inventing car problems to solve better than the competition, after the ICE was basically done. New, BEV-specific lines can help (apparently the e-tron gets by with only eight sets of wheels at two price points, yay!), but they are far from being as much of a fresh start as that blank slate as Tesla has been.
This was demonstrated vividly when Andy Serkis read The Hobbit unabridged live for charity then did a separate recording as a commercial release. Both were great, but you could see how many minor flaws were in the live recording that would have had to be re-recorded in the commercial version. (I’ve no idea how long it took to record the Lord of the Rings which he did a year later)
We’re talking a sum total of possibly 20 hours playing as a child over the course of a couple months.

As a lefty, I recall I was still in an awkward enough phase that when shopping for an electric I couldn’t decide on getting a left or right model, they both felt equally awkward, so just continued using right. Pretty sure I wasn’t able to barre chord. Things ramped up quickly once I started with the 2nd instructor.

One interesting thing about these shares that hasn't been confirmed as far as I can tell is that they were rumored to have been used as collateral for loans FTX took out.

If this is true, then someone else(Genesis) has a $500M hole in their balance sheet due to this. Which will lead to knock on issues, just like how Luna -> 3AC -> Celsius and Voyager -> FTX

In additional knock on effects, the US sized about $100M of crypto assets from FTX that Silvergate bank was holding.

This put more stress on Silvergate bank that was already in alot of trouble over their loans and shrinking crypto assets.

Based on the Government asking Silvergate for the HOOD shares and $8B in customer withdrawals they've gotten, they're down almost 50% today alone.

We'll probably see someone acquire them for nothing or we'll have a bank failure pretty soon.

Almost certainly people like Elizabeth Warren will use this to show that crypto is having a spill on effect to the real world economy and therefore should be under their regulatory control

I write web services in enterprise Java using JAXRS annotated interfaces in their own project as the "interface". For other Java services and even android these jars can be shared directly and used as web clients. There are some great plug-ins out there that generate documentation and also typescript clients for node or browser environments (as well as many other languages). You get all the benefits of strong typing everywhere and only have to write the code once.

If it doesn't ever get hot or cold where you live, or ever really rain, then yes. If an ebike works 90% of the time, then I'm getting the car. Might still get the bike, but I also have to have the car, and that will take just as much battery material as if I drive it 100% of the time.
