The people who had any power/control over push (standards & broeser folks) seemed to focus exclusively on using it for initial page load. As you do. Which is just one sliver of what Push could have been used for. The community had begged for some ability to actually increase developer capability, to start using Push as a reactive system, where we could start to replace unstructured websocket schenanigans with a holistic resourceful way to asserting resources.

There was a couple very brief moments during fetch's addition of progress where push got a brief bit of attention from big enough names that it seemed like maybe after years there's be some real chance of using http2 push interestingly on the web, but that moment flickered out & died. In general there has been a callous treatment for Push, with blinders on, thinking only of tbe narrowest desires & uses. It's been a completely squandered technological capability that was never opened for use in any interesting form, and it's a shame this sad small vision of http2 push & it's so called failure obstructs us from even considering how many more interesting & powerful uses it could have had.

My understanding is grpc requires push and trailers support, and that the browser still has no designs on offering either capability to developers for use. It's been some years since I've looked, but http3 in the browser once again seems to give developers absolutely no new capabilities, even though http added new stuff like Push & Trailers nearly a decade ago.

My emotional response is because there is such a small & narrow vision, choking how we might be using http & growing the web. Techniques like long-poll & websocket exist, but there's such a clearer better fitting match for sending http resources as they are generated, Push. The lack of browser exposure of new (decade old) http capabilities is pushing us towards a stupid point where we end up running http3-over-webtransport, and it's absurd & enmisersting to see such a lack of follow-through in the deepest most core heart of the web being given a chance to get used, to do the amazing things it could be doing... as opposed to radically non-web non-resourceful hacks like websockets. This harkens back to the HyBi mailing list, and the sad inability for the web & our exhange of resources to be more bidirectional & asynchronous, and that's not a decade od stagnation, it's now two decades of stagnation, stagnation that we almost got a chance to improve past, were it not for the sad silly limited pretense that Early Hints gives us even a thousandth of what Push gave us in terms of capabilities.
Activision confirms data breach exposing employee and game info
Perhaps not, but if you ordered your groceries online and all it took was a single click to get your eggs for $2.50 instead of $4.00, I wager you would.

Ideally you don't even have to click, there is just the option of a click, which in and of itself would create the competitive environment needed to equilibrate the prices
That’s odd. My partner and I have two each and never have that experience. Like not at all. I wonder if the batteries are dying or the product is defective?
But why do you care about some copyright of a book or movie? Do you shake your fist at carpenters because the ownership of their work product lasts forever? In pretty much every other part of the economy, the work product comes with ownership rights that last forever.

The real question is why should we stick it to the writers, musicians and artists by pulling the rug out from under them after so many years? I agree it's a practical solution, but it's definitely taking from them.
>Who here is still mad about the shooting? Who here is going to do something today to make the next shooting less likely?

I'm still mad about Sandy Hook. That's in my home county. I'm still mad about Tucson - that was the local grocery store I went to during school. I'm still mad about Virginia Tech, I'm still mad about Vegas, and every other mass shooting. I'm still mad that it took Alex Jones nearly a decade to be convicted for the continued harassment and verbal abuse of people that had to deal with their 6 year olds get shot up by a psycho while sitting in 1st grade class.

Unfortunately, there's a powerful voting bloc both in DC and around the US that will vote to make sure nothing happens. Forget about enforcing the laws on the books - lots of police sheriffs around the nation have said they have no interest in doing so.
Disney is a WEIRD choice here. Nobody is releasing their own old movies and pushing them on all possible markets and marketing them as much as Disney does.
Yeah, I think it's tied to the costs of running a particular store, and maybe other factors, like local competition. Higher property taxes will generally mean more markup.
Neat! For comparison, Observable Plot [1] does this sort of thing in JavaScript. It seems a bit more high-level and opinionated, though, having extensive support for plotting data on maps, but intentionally no support for pie charts.

It might be interesting to compare how to do things in each library. It’s not clear if Graphic supports map-drawing yet?

Also, I wonder if you can do animations in Graphic? I’ve done it with Observable Plot, but it’s not designed for it (no incremental updates) and the frame rate can bog down.

I fully disagree. There are so many examples of animals that once de-facto disappeared (like huge sea-lion colonies, same for turtles, reintroduced american and/or european bison, black footed ferret, arabian oryx, hermit ibis, wolves, ...) and then came back, to restore their original biological role. You cannot release a mammoth into central park and hope that it just works. But nobody is trying to do that.

Haha, thanks for sharing, I had no idea! :)
“A crying baby” you imagine for the sake of being contrarian != your son.

Also toddler, not a baby. A toddler spends most of their time exploring and learning, discovering the world. A perfect example of a still free, undomesticated human being. A perfect spiritual teacher, in the body of the closest human being you’ll ever have :)

By the way, the job quote is one of the broken propaganda stories of capitalism. Even when you like your job you’re still slaving away for money. You believing that’s a great outcome is the point.
Yeah, that all seems very useful.

How many people are getting the basic cup of coffee though? Usually when I go the people ahead of me are getting something fancier than a drip coffee. Not necessarily a $10 Frappuccino but a $7 latte with oat milk.
This is a perfect and quintessential example of what "AI" is used for - diffusing accountability away from individuals and onto committees and organizations where it can be neutralized and denied. Using chatgpt to generate an apology from a bureaucracy is the most-AI thing I have ever heard, it's the quiet part out loud.
Back in the early days of podcast support I remember downloading episodes over dialup (slower than real time) and burning them to CD occasionally for listening elsewhere
I went to the Starbucks Reserve in NYC and got a coffee thinking it’d be a regular drip and it ended up being $8-$9
Apple couldn’t build at scale either and didn’t have to for the first couple of years. It took two years to sell the first million.

what! that's incredible — do you have a link to the source (of this information), by chance?
I'm a little surprised that Hacker News comments weren't already in the GPT-3 training set. I just assumed that OpenAI had vacuumed up most of the web already.
One can obviously find hundreds of tracking tools on Amazon, but all of them need at least a simcard or equivalent to connect to the internet and share the location back. One has to pay for such a network.

The beauty of AirTags is that it banks on the vast network of apple devices to localize and share the location. For 20$ one time payment to buy AirTag you have permanently free tracking capability and that is definitely Apples headache.
This is a good take. I take it you understand that there is deadweight loss in the system you describe, though
A trick I've used for 20+ years that I think helps me put in ~8 hours of real work per day is to reserve some easy tasks for "after lunch work". It doesn't have to be literally after lunch, but whenever your brain is tired or doesn't want to try too hard. That's when you write a couple of the boring tests or do some easy refactoring. When you're in that kind of mood, doing those kinds of familiar low-friction tasks is relaxing and refreshing. Pretty soon you're ready for something harder. And it's a way to fit in the "hygiene" jobs that are easy to neglect. It helps to keep a little list in a text file somewhere, so you don't have to go searching for them.
Yeah but they make more money on the microtransactions in the end.
What I’m talking about is just a way to provide something besides a pilot’s hunch to compare against weight data from flight crews. If it was so windy that it would catastrophically throw off the comparison, I doubt they’d even let the planes take off.
Sure; M1 Max, 64GB RAM running Ventura 13.2.1 (and Parallels Pro 18).

Still hoping that games with "surprise mechanics"[1] get legislated into the 18+ bucket one day. That would not only keep many kids from blowing their parents' credit cards on gems but make this business model less attractive by shrinking the market.

What I really want is duplicate keys. I should be able to order a set of 2-3 Yubikeys that are identical.

It's getting better, but for a long time the majority of places that supported hardware keys only supported adding one. Places that support multiple keys are better, but they require that I go through the "add a key" process twice and that I be at home (or wherever I store my second key) in order to add it.

If I had one key on me and one identical key at home. Losing a key still means I can't log in until I retrieve my spare key, and I should replace the set, but it's a much better situation than having a single key and roughly no worse than losing one of two unique keys.
> after scientists cloned an animal and watched it die, moments later, from a lung defect

Moments after they cloned it? The immediate result of cloning is a single cell, not something with a lung. So that single cell grew into an organism with lungs, in moments?

I stopped reading a few paragraphs after that.
We raise chickens on non-GMO feed and collect over a dozen eggs per day. The eggs available at Walmart are utter garbage compared to those raised locally on good feed and pasture. There's no comparison.

Farm fresh egg yolks are the same orange color as the HN banner, while Walmart's eggs are pale imitations that were raised with copious antibiotics and literal shit in their feed. I would go so far as to say that their eggs help define the absolute bottom of this particular barrel.

I would be ashamed to be a producer for them, and it is upsetting to see their prices held up as some kind of standard. We could do better, but our metrics for success have been boiled down to little more than current clearance sale prices.
The reason copyright exists is not really to benefit the creators. That's just a means to an end. The purpose is to encourage the creation of the works for the public good, which is why copyright is supposed to be for a limited term and then it becomes public domain.

It's a business deal of sorts: we allow the copyright holder to have unusual and potent legal power for a limited time, in exchange for the work becoming public property when that time ends.
I'm sure that the same people who start illegal fires in panic in forests are the same people who are in shape enough to attempt to outrun the forest fire they started.
The produce has changed a lot. Now, the fruits and vegetables leave a lot to be desired. If you compare the best from Whole Foods and the best from Fresh Direct, you'll see that Fresh Direct is a clear winner in most categories, but especially in produce and meat. The two used to be a lot closer in terms of quality.

I'm not saying it's true 100% of the time, but I've noticed that older movies tend to have more fat and when they do it's more egregious.

Throughout this discussion I've realized that this whole conversation is fraught with survivorship bias - we imagine generic marvel movies or the fast and the furious stuff when we think of modern movies, but when we think of the past we really only consider the classics. We haven't yet seen what modern movies will qualify as classic.

Wasn't there a movie where a coffee exec sardonically talks about plying customers with "legal addictive stimulants"?

Caffeine is addictive. There are a lot of caffeine addicts in the U.S. Starbucks sells a menu full of caffeine. That's why people buy from them.
One of those is genuine, the other is not.
junk data in, junk data out — the issue was the weight calculation, so in this case the plane would (incorrectly) think it's performing nominally.
Why have a stance in this sense of the word at all? It's not a fight is it? Is it...? One of the commenters have pointer out that women have been getting progressively less and less happy since the 1970s (based on self-reporting) so if anything, everybody is at loss here. I've really tried to take this piece seriously but once you cut the propaganda, there's no single clear bit of writing in it worth thinking about or so I'm led to believe.
This is awesome, didn't realize there was a dart implementation drawing from grammar of graphics philosophy. ggplot2 (in R) has followed me around in a lot of use cases and such an intuitive way to create complex/customizable graphics. Looking forward to playing around with this.
I think most people would be fine if we had a national DB for prices.

Most people would not be fine if we had 3+ competing private db's with price info used to profit off of others lack of price knowledge.
Taiwan has battery swapping stations for their...GoRo? Electric scooters, but they are the size of a coffee can and user-swapped using the integrated handle. Battery swap on a car-sized battery is going to be... Several magnitudes of order more complex. Dropping and denting a lithium battery with the wrong chemistry could have substantial consequences.
I don't use cloud providers because they have their branded value-add services. I use them because they're reliable, automated, and they have APIs. I can't point terraform at whatever random IPMI a traditional hosting provider gives me. The last time I spun up a new dedicated instance at a traditional hosting provider, it wasn't an API call. It was a few emails, an invoice, and a week wait.
reached level 22. Any more hints?
That is, admittedly, something Rust has not prioritized. I think it was probably the right decision given how successful the cargo approach has been in terms of bootstrapping a language community.

There are some very talented people thinking about the interoperability story, but it is also hard so they haven't committed to a solution prematurely.
The cheapest eggs on vons.com are $5.99 in Los Angeles. This is a cool data visualization but the closest data point it has for LA is Rosemead and it says they're $2.76.

Extinction is the complete destruction of something that took millions of years to make. As much as it seems like people create the world they live in, they don't. We ingeniously assemble the world we live in out of the great diversity of material around us. It's better that we have wheat now than the world in which we didn't. It's better that we have tomatoes, corn, chickens, etc.. Without them, our lives would likely be more difficult and less pleasurable. Tomorrow's tomatoes and chickens may have been killed today partially out of greed, but mostly out of carelessness and lack of understanding.

> I don’t understand why people are obsessed with extinction as some great evil - it’s as evil as the concept of death itself;

If you characterize worrying about extinction as being obsessed, would you characterize worrying about death to be an obsession we should rid ourselves of? Why should I worry if people are dying, people always die, doesn't matter?
They look great, I like the idea a lot. Awesome work!
That was a great game and actually introduced me to several great songs. I always suspected one of the reasons they pulled it because they lost the license to the music in the game or would have to pay ongoing costs to maintain the license.
That will never happen. Apple has too much buying power. AMD and Intel don't make the most popular phone in the world, so they can't put down the money to compete for fab space.
Customers care about this:

> Battery life was a good few hours shorter than the M1

They do not care about this:

I'm in a suburb of Cologne right now. Looking on PicNic, an online grocery delivery service I see:

Medium Eggs: €2.29 for a 10 pack (US$2.92/dozen)
Whole HTT: (heat treated) box milk: €1.15/liter (US$4.46/gallon)
Gala Apples: €2.35/kilo (US$1.09/pound)
Unsalted Butter: €7.96/kg (US$3.69/pound)

I usually save a little bit by going to Aldi or another discount grocery, but this is very close to shelf price for the non-discount grocery stores.

I agree with you. I also find Python to be slower for iterations and refactoring.

Not an art person at all, but after looking at a bunch of his babies, I think you are right. These babies have significantly larger and stronger features than any of the others I saw.
As a French person, every one of my American colleagues who's been to Switzerland was surprised how much better the food is on the french side of the alps.
They honestly already have. They make 80% of the profit in the cell phone market. And even their low end SE is two years ahead of the competition in performance.

Besides buying a major supplier out and then getting rid of their other customers is value destructive.
agree... I originally wrote this in my comment but pulled it out as I figured the thought of a national DB some people might scoff at -- but I have wanted this for decades

>>"POS's would need to be able to report each receipt with a QR code to a central (ideally government) FDA site and that information should be API accessible for the public."
Even the prepared food has changed. It's feels cheap and tastes like shit, but carries the same price. Gowanus whole foods had a whole section of moldy cold cuts not too long. If people haven't noticed what I'm talking about, its probably that they just don't remember how nice it used to be before.
I wondered the same thing. Most metros perform load weighing to adjust the effort. Why can’t the same tech be applied to planes? It may not capture all the data needed, but it wouldn’t be off by 20 thousand pounds and it could be incorporated into a feedback loop, to increase effort if the plane isn’t getting the expected lift.
BASIC was the very first hitting big time outside big iron, many versions used reference counting as GC algorithm for strings and arrays.

There were others as well, Lisp wasn't the only game in town with automatic memory management.

As for systems languages predating C, there were several of them starting with JOVIAL in 1958.
Lol man, this stuff is so political (obviously), it’s painful to find the truth without watching the trial (which I did).

Many Republican elected officials were in a lawsuit opposing election fraud claims. This story seems suspect imo — as most of the party was on the other side fighting the election fraud claims.

Further, of the 30 or so claims only a handful made it to court. The primary ones (1) there was no chain of custody on hundreds of thousands of ballots (2) there were minimal to no signature verification and (3) hundreds of thousands were unable to vote on the AZ Election Day causing a suppression of the vote.

Only number 3 was litigated, and of that it was effectively admitted to but argued “well, they could have voted earlier”. Aka “too late, nothing we can do to fix it”. Quite literally the appellate court cited that they should have brought the claims earlier.

In either case, without actually reviewing the evidence in court it’s a bit painful.
If enough people are passionate about the same cause they'd donate, get involved etc. Judging by the comments, it's a lot of people.
That's pretty much how road trips in a Tesla play out today. After depleting the battery you want to get out and stretch your legs, use the bathroom, and get a snack.

Most fast chargers are located near or at amenities. This is how it should be. I could see rest stops on the highway being outfitted with fast chargers in the future.
Exactly this. Copyright is restricting the rights of others (specifically speech rights). It is counter to the common-sense stance that whatever you literally put into the domain of the public is public domain.

We've decided that limiting others rights for a temporary period was an acceptable price in order to encourage the creation of new works.

All of this was explicitly and energetically debated when copyright laws were being considered at all in the first place.
...or knowingly sharing. Some women would rather non-exclusively have a partner they perceive to be high value than exclusively have a partner they perceive to be low value. I've heard it put as: "I'd rather have 25% of a winner than 100% of a loser."
So you're saying the problem is that the administrator didn't reflect enough on the situation when using AI to compose the the letter. But how do you know? Is the problem that the recipients of the letter aren't sure whether the author grew while composing it?
> Why would it be done on the aircraft, and how?

I have the idea that a captain is responsible for its flight, and thus want to have as much information as possible. I think flights have their own full manifest anyway, so they have all the information you mentioned?

As to "how", I'm not sure I understand the issue, can't the same computations be done locally? The computations you mention doesn't sound too computing intensive.

I concur with sibling "Why does this seem so absurd to you?". You probably know real reasons for this not to be done from aircraft, and we're curious to see some.
I am guessing they already were? But this is 100% pure, concentrated HN not contaminated with nonsense from the rest of the web :)
If you're talking about the ban on battery cages my understanding is that the major producers had already implemented that before the law was passed.
