> I suspect it's because the project is primarily focused on video.

Audio is 80% of video.

Most people will watch to a potato-quality video if the person talking can be understood fairly well, but will probably not bother with something where the audio is echo-y, with wind, and sounds like it was recorded over a wet string, even if the image is 4K/HDR.

How advanced the included audio controls is certainly up for debate, but it's not possible to focus on 'just' video.

Thank you for posting about CRDTs! I remembered Apple Notes used some type of versioning that was good and I’d wanted to use in my own app design but I had forgotten the name.
Yeah it's ridiculous. The nerve to keep forcing something on a user after they have clearly rejected it. Honestly that kind of crap should be illegal IMO.

After a lot of GPO settings and hacks I've tamed W10 to be acceptable, but it's still crappy on principle.
I like Zen queries, but sometimes you just have to make queries in templates (e.g. when you want to check the user on the request object), or sometimes it's just convenient and there's nothing wrong with it (e.g. when you want to check the user on the request object).

Zen queries makes that use case impossible, sadly.
US investors will invest in an idea to see if it works.

EU investors will invest in a working idea.

We have far fewer ridiculous startup ideas or companies that can't scale, but the flip side is that we have fewer winners too.

That Kingston looks to be quite good value, although I personally would stay away from anything using TLC flash and worse.
Only code with Github is replicated locally, not everything else like wiki, issues, etc.

That's something I love about Fossil.

Everything with Fossil (wiki, issues, code) is replicated as well.
Maybe, they'll remove it in a future version if many people raise the same complaint.
ohh, I didn't, thanks, taking a look now!
I mean, google has access to ~all of that stuff anyway. Even if you’re self-hosting your email+calendar, everyone else isn’t.

I’d love to have more privacy on everything, but realistically, the ship’s sailed on most of it.
Linking this comment here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30019307 that designers at Microsoft use Mac and have been given more power than they should.

This has been the case for a while. I worked on the Windows Desktop Experience Team from Win7-Win10. Starting around Win8, the designers had full control, and most crucially essentially none of the designers use Windows.
I spent far too many years of my career sitting in conference rooms explaining to the newest designer (because they seem to rotate every 6-18 months) with a shiny Macbook why various ideas had been tried and failed in usability studies because our users want X, Y, and Z.

One thing that makes Svelte great for embeds is that it has no runtime dependencies, no equivalent of react.js and react-dom.js. It just compiles down to vanilla JS.
This is exactly my point. Everything you have mentioned was available on smartphones before the iphone, iphone just made them more accessible and easier to use. Still stands that the iphone was in no way the most advanced smartphone on the market, it just put a prettier and easier to use interface on these features which led to reviewers being 'wowed'.
It's also the problem that Microsoft's HTML Applications were trying to solve. Also the problem that Microsoft's VBScript was trying to solve. Also the problem that Chrome PWA were trying to solve.

It's an old problem. Nobody's yet solved it for good.

> The EU has a unified single market for goods, but not for services.

It's definitely possible and easy for a company in EU country X to provide a service to individuals or companies in another EU country. What makes you think otherwise?
Agreed! I've found that staying in my workflow leads to fewer inadvertent context switches (like ChatGPT in-browser -> HN -> ... -> rabbit hole). MacGPT looks great. I created a similar plugin for my Windows keystroke launcher (think Alfred/Spotlight) for the same reason. If anyone's interested, you can check it out here: https://github.com/dkgv/pinpoint
Git avoids the problem where the central service being down gets in the way of local development. Even in Git, that central service going down means degraded collaboration.

Normally a Git remote is just an ssh-accessible machine, and so pretty resilient.
But GitHub is a lot more complex, so apparently that simple service went down, along with all the features they built on top of it
And if HN is down, you know it's a biggie
Ask HN: Pursuing career as Front-End Developer. Should I pivot?
I'm 37, and I've been brushing up on my front-end dev skills in order to get back into the industry after five years off to pursue my own business. My business pays my bills, but little else. I'm considering winding it down.

Before it, I satisfied small and mid-sized clients as a front-end contractor with my html/css/jquery/bootstrap along with design skills (I'm good with photoshop, sketch, illustrator and can make logos, presentations, and pdfs, etc.) I had no trouble getting consistent work. Unfortunately, most of my clients have moved on to bigger organizations, and I lost a back-end developer I frequently worked with to covid.

Now, half a year prior to our collective realization that AI really will change the industry along with massive layoffs, I started going deeper with javascript and am learning react, node, and tailwind. Also, a little figma and was considering webflow.

Unlike a lot of you, I'm not already in the industry, but trying to get in. The timing probably couldn't be worse. I know definitive answers aren't out there. But, would you recommend I maintain a steady course or is it likely going to be a waste of my time? If the latter, any suggestions?
>This is also making me strongly consider moving off of .net and looking into any alternative I can find for it, which the only real option at this point is probably Kotlin.

Even MS themselves moved from their proprietary .NET implementation to .NET Core, which works just fine in Linux. But I'd give a +1 to Kotlin anyway, its a great language. I'm also fond of using Python with Pydantic to enforce type checking.
If they are limited to 1, then they are not appropriate to use as a deployment mechanism. Do you only have one change being worked at a time? On my team, there's typically at least have a dozen different stories being worked in parallel.
Looks OK from here (Paris, France).
Most Germans and Europeans use debit cards for shopping IRL though which has very small transaction fees and yet many places won't take them.
My company uses a self-hosted Gerrit instance. A bit of a learning curve, but the code review experience is SO much better than PRs (one commit == one unit of review, clean intra-diffs between different revisions of a patch, stacking of reviews simply by having multiple commits on a branch, UI is very snappy and responsive...).

Self-hosting Gerrit is easy[1] because all its internal state is fully transactional, including reviews and configs, and is simply stored as normal Git commits inside the Git repos on the filesystem.

In fact, our instance had much better uptime over the past year than GitHub despite being migrated to another server once!

[1]: ... unless you need a complex high availability setup or replicas. But 99% of projects are fine with just a single instance and backups.
Looks like it's back and the status page reports it as green, however GitHub Actions builds are not triggering on push as usual when this happens, so for me it doesn't seem to be fully recovered yet.
This. I have a phone precisely for a few specific apps that will not be rewritten for a new platform (e.g. WhatsApp, Signal, public transport).

I am happy with /e/ OS (which is Android, I don't get why they talk about a "separate OS"), but the only way I could imagine using e.g. PostmarketOS is with waydroid. Which kind of emulates Android.

Is PWA the solution? I don't know: will WhatsApp/Signal/<those apps I need> write a PWA app and test it on exotic OSes? I would guess not, and therefore PWA do not seem to solve this problem.
If I had to answer a hundred questions before, I wouldn't have done anything in my fscking life. Actually most of the valuable things I've done, I did because I didn't think twice.

Jokes aside... or maybe no jokes, but alas, this seems an interesting way of assessing any company, even from the inside. Is this for real? Is it too much? Any blind spots?

And the better question: what do you think the list would be for the ten questions?
I think it's a matter of perspective, which mostly depends on your attitude to AAA online multiplayer. Those represent a huge % of copies sold and hours played for PC gaming (They are certainly the majority of titles on the most sold lists).
Many of those titles also have windows-only anti-cheats (Valve obviously being a driving force for Linux here).

So if you look at "N titles of M work well" then the Linux glass is half full. If you look at "X hours of Y of the total played hours of recent popular AAA games are played on games or modes that work poorly on linux" then it's still half empty.
There are two similar things that can easily be conflated as they have some overlap, or can at least be used interchangeably in some cases.

For one we have feature flags, which should be used to disable features for certain environments, possibly AB testing and so on. You use those to reduce risk and friction in an ad-hoc fashion. They are meant to be simple booleans in code and short lived.

Then we have feature scope, registration, authorization etc. which can be more wide reaching. They should be part of the data model and treated like everything else that is data driven.

When we conflate the two, we get into trouble like you describe.
True, but it is still weird to paste your credentials into an unknown service.
I don't know what the difference was, but 1-2 years ago it definitely did not warn me. Perhaps it doesn't show a warning when you assign a different datatype?
Would we? What all comes with "rejuvenate youth"? We have technology right now that makes one LOOK younger. Is it more than that? Where does it stop? Do our brains have to reverse their development so that the bits that don't fully congeal into our late 20's/early 30's are removed? Do we need to become impulsive, awkward, hormonal weirdos again? What's youth? 35? 25? 15? Does youth requiring scraping out all the plaque out of our arteries? Do we remove our scars? Do we get acne again?

A lot of what makes us us with all the wisdom of our age is also the bits that lead to the eventual breakdown and decay of our body. I think we'd need to lose ourselves to get our "youth" back. We're hoping for some magic where we keep all the good with none of the bad.
While I don't agree the parent posters view on the middle mouse, if you actually read the link you posted you would find that none of the answers suggested there actually solve the problem and in fact offer pretty convincing evidence that reproducing the desired behaviour cannot be reasonably done in Linux. Dismissively saying "you're holding it wrong" or posting links to irrelevant forum posts while telling people to RTFM isn't a winning argument for Linux. If you're going to tell someone to RTFM at least make sure you're pointing them to the correct M that contains the answer they're looking for.
If Gmail is just email and I use it on my iPhone with the native mail application -- along with 5 other email accounts. If Gmail disappeared tomorrow, I would choose another email provider. There are very few "fanatics" for Android. It's the only alternative if you don't want to spend on an expensive phone. But the majority of people who can afford a more expensive phone -- buy an iPhone.

> I have a vps with bare git repos, pushing via ssh. A selection of these has hooks set up to mirror all pushes onto github/gitlab/$platform, but these are write-only.

I like it, self-hosting bare git repos has been pretty painless for me in the past on LANs. You could still add a hook to encrypt the repo and backup whenever you merge to dev or something as well.

You pretty much only lose the hosted diff/review/ticketing tools which I've never enjoy much regardless.
> Isn't it dangerous to have trans men – many of whom will have testosterone running through their systems – in vulnerable women's spaces?

To be fair to the OP, I don't think there exists a history of abuse of females from trans men, which strengthens their allegation that the underlying sex might be an important factor to consider in these scenarios. The sex hormones alone maybe just aren't a factor.

It's likely not safe to place trans women into male prisons either though, so I think there ought to another axis than just male/female along which we can segregate, such as violent/non-violent criminal history/tendencies. Come to think of it, that seems almost obvious in retrospect. Put violent offenders together, and non-violent ones together, and then non-violent offenders are far less likely to become harder criminals upon release.
Sample size?

Don't get me wrong: I'd assume "liberal American" by default; but precisely because I would assume that, I think it's important to try and falsify it to reasonable statistical likelihood rather than do once and report.
Interesting, is the idea wisdom is not gained from reading but from direct experience?
I'm migrating from GitHub to CodeCommit. My project has pretty strict security guidelines, and GitHub doesn't have a high enough accreditation. GitHub tries to handwave this by saying good current practice means there's no personally identifiable information, etc. in Git repositories, but I'm not willing to entrust the code behind moderately sensitive infrastructure to a service that thinks they don't need to implement (and more importantly, prove they implement) better security standards and practices.

Recent developments have only reinforced my feelings on this matter.
I wonder if it has anything to do with them updating their RSA SSH host key (https://github.blog/2023-03-23-we-updated-our-rsa-ssh-host-k...) 3 days ago.
Exactly. As someone else pointed out some AAA titles don't work, and stuff with strong DRM/anti-cheat won't, but that's a minority of stuff at this point which will only dwindle further.

Does anyone have real, contemporary numbers on this? Your observation matches my intuition, and I've seen some stats around the first two years after the acquisition¹, but I don't know any good up-to-date analysis on the question.

My intuition aligns too closely with my known biases here for me to be satisfied with that alone.

I know what you mean, and I'm saying you're wrong.

> This is a basic problem of machine learning (explainability) and we're nowhere understanding how or why LLMs have the emergent capabilities that they do (we're just getting started with that research)

Sorry, which emergent capabilities are you talking about? You're trying to slip in that there even are emergent capabilities, when in fact there's literally nothing unexpected which has emerged. Given how LLMs work, literally everything they do is exactly what we'd expect them to do.

The problem of explainability is twofold:

1) Connecting the input data with the output data, so a human can see what input data produced the output data. This is actually pretty easy to do naively, but it's hard to do performantly.

2) Presenting that data in a way that is meaningful to a non-technical user.

Note that both of these are just about being able to audit which input data produced which output data. Nothing here is about how the output data was produced from the input data: we understand that pretty clearly, it's just that the process isn't reversible.

> Gradient descent training is just a little more efficient method of essentially permuting program code at random until you get something that passes all cases. Doesn't mean you understand the final program at all.

There are some things we can't understand about the final program, but there are still pretty understandable bounds on what the final program can do. For example, it cannot produce something from nothing: any output the program produces must strictly be a combination of its inputs. From this we can tell that no program produced is capable of originality. Likewise, I'm not even sure what argument you could possibly make that it would be capable of preference: any preferences you might perceive are obviously representative of the preferences of the humans who created the input data.

As I've said elsewhere, just because you use a program to take the average of billions of integers which you can't possibly understand all of, doesn't mean you don't understand what the "average()" function does. Obviously LLMs are a lot more complex than an average, but they aren't beyond human understanding.
I'm beginning to think there's one too many of these kinds of apps, but if anyone is interested in a cross-platform (Mac, Linux, Windows) alternative, I've built a command-palette type interface [1] to GPT that supports code blocks/LaTeX too.

They’re definitely trying to build the “Macbook Pro of AR” rather than the Nintendo Switch or PlayStation of AR/VR.

Doubt plugging it into a PC to play windows games even crossed their mind, but also the number of people who can both afford a pc, headset and have the room to actually use it is such a small number that it’s an evolutionary dead end.

Not sure how old you are but this is really just an indictment of Linux.

Both Mac OS and Windows have had this stuff sorted out for decades. Windows was not as good at it 20 years ago but it was still very good at it. Mac has been phenomenal at it even longer, largely because of the limited number of hardware configurations.

It has always been a chore in Linux. Always. It's a hard problem to solve with the extreme diversity of PC hardware, and Microsoft really started doing a good job with it around Win 95 and later. Prior to that Dos & Windows 3.x you did have to jump through a lot of the same hoops linux is famous for.

Linux has gotten better but is still relatively terrible about this. Users are not supposed to have to search compatibility lists and tweak config files to the degree they still are.
Language, for one. Legally it might be one market but having to translate your service in well over two-dozen languages is a bit of an entry barrier.

> most of the games marked "unsupported" can be played by changing the proton version or using protontricks.

I'd call that "unusable" if you need to tweak it. It's possible for power users like me or you, but if it requires some knowledge of computers, or being able to google an error message or visit a forum to look for solutions, it's way beyond usable for most people.

I'd say using any tweaking at all would for most people fall under "nope". It's only enthusiasts that can do that.

My point remains: only enthusiasts who are ready (and able) to tweak even small settings - particularly e.g. visit a forum or google the occasional error would this work for.

Let's measure it this way: how frustrating would an average non-power user find the desktop Linux gaming experience today? I'd argue that while it's a lot less frustrating to them than it was a few years ago, but it's still not so frustrating when put next to the windows start menu ads frustration.
