* CA talks a lot about replacing cars, and accomplishes nothing.

* FL makes no pretense about being primarily a based car-culture, but successfully implements mass transit where it makes sense
> This was not a website designed for mobile - that's why it doesn't look appropriate on mobile. Not every website is designed for mobile - in fact there are usually two completely different websites for mobile and desktop. This one is only for desktop. This complaint is like renting a sports car and complaining it's not doing a good job at transporting your piano.

This is a very problematic take, and is simply inaccurate when it comes to the web.

If you write zero CSS, a web page will render just fine on any display. Text will auto-wrap and be legible. The web is "responsive" by default. It's the designers who try to rigidly align things with specific widths, explicit sizes, and absolute values that make web pages harder to read and use.

Meaning, any given element shouldn't have a `width`, it should have a `max-width` instead. Text should have a relative font size to headings or other text. Alignment should take into consideration overflow, as it will by default with flexbox and grid. Everything by default will flow in some way and try to make it onto the page.

It's all the violence of designers that makes things both less device friendly and less accessible, just like these poor contrast decisions.
Sure - blame the publisher or the developer - I don't care which one. But it isn't the public's fault for having bad thoughts about a game with seriously borked launch. Devs/Publishers should know that has a permanent impact on perception of the game, and perception of the studio.
To be sure, Munger was specifically throwing shade at investment banking practices; here's where that discussion happened for context[1].

This is interesting, thanks I'm checking it out. I was thinking this could be a flash in the pan thing that would then be annoying to maintain, but obviously global history of everything you've done is definitely a super boon to productivity. How do you handle maintaining this as you transition through jobs, machines, etc? 3.8MB is obviouslly trivially small in size so you could store it on a potato, but like what is your workflow around maintaining these one off ad hoc "developer boost" type tools?

I'm not expecting someone to go out and do the work for me. If someone happens to know, I'd love a response, otherwise I don't expect one.

This reply serves exactly no purpose.
You’re not truly engaging with the commenter in a debate. This comment is not in good faith.
Man, the crazy future where programmers are punished for bad code. The sheer amount of trails would break our legal system.

There's no cost to baseless lies and defamation in internet comments, so that's what you get.

Adding a random link to the mix: https://www.pouet.net/topic.php?which=12155
I bought one about 3 months ago and I agree with some of the authors points, but, none of his conclusions.

If you walk into it thinking it's a desktop/laptop replacement, you're going to walk out unhappy.

I do agree that I'd much be able to run a youtube clone app like STube with sponsorblock integrated, but, it's hardly a deal-breaker. I'm paying for youtube premium already (very reasonably priced IMO) so I avoid all native youtube ads already. It hardly makes watching youtube "terrible"

I also agree I'd rather use Brave with extensions, but, Adblock and Safari work fine.

I have played around a bit with using the device in a content-creation role, but, I haven't found a workflow that I like at this point. My programming style is very tightly looped and I need to be able to compile my code and run/test locally. I thought perhaps there was a path for programming on the iPad and there still might be but I haven't fully explored it yet, at this point I don't spend much time directly programming. The one major point I agree with the author there is that having 3-4 $40 apps which could theoretically solve this problem without any trial or anything, it's hard to invest the time and money to try each. Termius is great though, fully worth the cost.

The Youtube/Safari issue I was fully aware of before I bought the device since I know my iPhone can't do these things either.

Regarding the note taking and drawing skills I fully agree with the other commenter here. This is entirely skill based and the iPad and apple pencil are fully capable. I am not artistic but I sat my mother down with the iPad and Pixelmator and the iPad Pro and she (an amazing artist in other mediums who never did any digital art before) was within an hour drawing things which fully exceeded the examples from apple marketing. I still can't do stick figures.

Ultimately as a power communication tool, it works very well and it was, for me, fully worth the price. I've had iPads since the original iPad and they generally last a long time for me (much longer than iPhones or laptops).
Just to remember that there are different sorts of liabilities and punishment.

For example, losing one's net worth might be an example. Shareholders are already subject to it, while for employees, even when fired, they just lose the potential of future earnings, leaving their accumulated net worth untouched.

Wikipedia calls this the principal-agent problem ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal%E2%80%93agent_proble... ). Should employees in a position of power be agents that are putting up some collateral as a guarantee to be forfeit in case things go south? Or otherwise would unwarranted risk-taking behavior in their job be enough to go to jail when the results of their actions impact others in the world at large negatively?
WCAG 3 and APCA (Advanced Perceptual Contrast Algorithm)
If he had said so emphatically during the 2008 crisis and the other crises before that this one may not have happened.

Talk about shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted three times running.

Congress even watered down the laws made after the 2008 crisis to prevent this from happening.

Where was he then?
This is just what corporatism is.

Directionless ever shifting Objectives and Key Results (OKR) and forever chasing the New Addressable Market (NAM). There's plenty of believers & folks fighting for causes, but no real overall motivation for long term excellence, for building a future. No vision & no one in charge & no persistence.

Organizations are made of people, and over time and as they shift & scale, they lose direction purpose & caring, they lack the filter & will & cohesion to follow through, to tend to the affairs they set in motion. Sectors of companies rise and fall with the tides.

Google really is one of the saddest cases on the planet today. They arose from the web, from interconnectivity. They had great APIs that allowed new things to be built. And you'd think IoT/smarthome would be a perfect venue to deploy this genetic advantage, to build great apis, to help arise a new backbone of possibility. But Google has gotten worse and worse and worse at opening possibilities. G+ social network never got an API. Google smart home had a meager set of APIs and it's mostly shrunk in capabilities over time (conversely, they did (finally) land some local network apis capabilities a few years back). We're in a sad age, where security & assurability trumps possibility; Google is trying to restrict & clamp down & remove app stores, rather than enable broader possibilities. A scared company is not fun to watch.
I’m new to Linux kernel programming & eBPF (just started last week) and I’m having major troubles with eBPF verifier. I honestly feel like it would be easier for me to write a kernel module than eBPF code.

I do wonder if this is the case for many people. It seems verifier is a bit unpredictable and makes eBPF programming quite painful.
Advice for new data scientist at mobile app startup
Hey,

I just joined a friend's mobile app startup as their first data scientist, and I'm pretty new to the field- being new we know I won't do the best job, but I'm eager to learn.

I want to get started as painlessly as possible.

What are the best resources for orienting myself, understanding which metrics to focus on etc

What should I use for the data stack? I want to lay good foundations without overengineering. We have data from Apple App Store, Cloudinary, OneSignal, server backend, and ads on Facebook and TikTok.

Any other pieces of advice?
Not necessarily.

The biggest rock in the pond recently is the Great Renaming to Jakarta, but many containers still support the older package names.

The only real legacy stuff from 20 years ago that has truly died on the vine is Entity Beans. But even then, Entity Beans we’re mostly horrible, and not many folks used them.

But they may well still be supported in some modern containers.

That said the old style way of using XML for everything (notably declarations of Session Beans and such) still exists today. Annotations rule the day today, but the old XML style still exists, and has not been deprecated, or if it has, it’s quite recently.

There is in fact a lot of backward compatibility stuff still there in the modern containers because fundamentally the concepts have not changed, just how they are expressed in modern runtimes.
> The same article also points out that CA could have paid off the loan easily with their surplus ($97.5 billion)

The amount of is greater than the amount by which the state was below the Constitutional spending limit, so, no, it could not easily have done so; it maybe could have called it emergency spending to avoid the limit — which takes a supermajority vote and some other things (since the state had the choice of not spending it and allowing the Feds to collect it directly, it probably could not have used the federally-mandated spending exception.)

> The issue is in the end, the $18.5 billion will all be paid off. It's still an extra $18.5 billion being paid that would not have been paid otherwise, if CA had been more responsible.

Sure, if the state had had the foresight to prepare its systems for a once-in-ever event in advance, the costs that ended up needing paid back might not have been incurred.

I will respect this criticism somewhat if you can point me to the people making it advocating the necessary changes in advance of the need, otherwise...
Non-Xe cards go through a different path with much lower quality. Worse than FSR2, maybe on par with FSR1 iirc.

> Why are three of the most profitable technology companies in the history of mankind unable to come up with better than Google Home, Alexa, and Siri?

Because none of those companies are in the business of providing a useful service to end users. Google sells ads, Amazon sells marketplaces, Apple sells consumer entertainment system. None of them went into the smart home business to address the needs or solve the problems of people using the devices. They all intended to use the devices to expand their cores business and make it more profitable.
That's not fully correct. If you look for example at the case of James Liang who got sentenced to 40 months in prison. O

> Though there are reports that refurbished devices from warranty claims for bootloader-unlockable devices may sometimes have a carrier restriction that Google's servers don't allow removing.

Yep, this happened with my Pixel 2: Bought it directly from google, the usb-c port stopped working after a while, so I sent it in for a repair. I cannot unlock the bootloader on the phone they sent me back, so it's basically just e-waste now.
The problem is easily solved by using Vantablack as the color of every font. Guaranteed contrast.

lol I don't need a piece of text to tell me which sections are good contrast and which are bad. my eyes do that all on their own.

yes, i'm convinced that an article that talks about good and bad contrast, gives examples of varying contrast. because, again - eyes.
Buffet has advocated for changes to the law that would benefit society at his expense. But he will continue using the rules to his advantage until they change. Maybe some would call that dishonest? I know some say it's hypocrisy. I think it's admirable but practical.

I have a little bit of sympathy for eliminating a 6 year old wifi router, largely because it was built around some Qualcomm chipsets on what was probably at that time a 2+ year old linux kernel. This is Qualcomm's fault. Qualcomm provides awful Board Support Packages with limited shelf life. Qualcomm makes disposable products.

Now, I do think it's awful that Google built thing in such a way that the router is entirely unconfigurable after it runs out of support. That's absurd. But I do pity Google for using one of the only options available to them & it being an absolute awful unsupportable shit show.

It's part Qualcomm & part community, but we are starting to see a lot more work upstreaming Qualcomm drivers. It gives me hope that some of the openwrt routers folks buy today will remain good & usable & secure & reasonably capable, even in 10, 15, even 20 years.
That was a fraud scheme.
CA HSR is now actively being built. You can track its progress at https://buildhsr.com/.
Indeed, most likely the question of paying or not wasn't even asked properly and this is just the norm.. In any case my point is that the problem of this capture from some scientific publishers is much deeper than just a problem of how publishing is setup. Its one of the many symptoms of how current research institutions are governed.
Cerf: "I'm serious, the decision to put a 32-bit address space on there was the result of a year's battle among a bunch of engineers who couldn't make up their minds about 32, 128 or variable length. And after a year of fighting I said -- I'm now at ARPA, I'm running the program, I'm paying for this stuff and using American tax dollars -- and I wanted some progress because we didn't know if this is going to work. So I said 32 bits, it is enough for an experiment, it is 4.3 billion terminations -- even the defense department doesn't need 4.3 billion of anything and it couldn't afford to buy 4.3 billion edge devices to do a test anyway. So at the time I thought we were doing a experiment to prove the technology and that if it worked we'd have an opportunity to do a production version of it. Well -- [laughter] -- it just escaped! -- it got out and people started to use it and then it became a commercial thing. So, this [IPv6] is the production attempt at making the network scalable. Only 30 years later."

Cryptography safe from quantum computers has been in use for a long time. It is already replacing cryptography that can be broken by a quantum computer in theory and any feasibility of a useful quantum computer will only accelerate the transition.

I maintain that cyberpunk has one of the best non-RT reflections and rendering of most AAA titles... Just a beautiful game. Too bad they didn't put more time into making the game itself outside of the campaign more fun.
I'm not qualified to respond, but I switched from Scheme to Common Lisp for CL's condition system and REPL.

Other than Smalltalk and some very niche languages, I couldn't find any languages that, after hitting an error, let me reliably interactively inject new/replacement code from my code editor and then re-run the function (obviously assuming it is reasonable to do so).
I know they work at some level. That's why I'm comparing them to HTMX.

They don't work fine if the users/stakeholders don't find it acceptable to render the result to the full window instead of the hx-swap style area, or to spend extra time on the backend making it render the whole thing.

Actually, this is one area were SvelteKit has it beat, because the backend is done by SvelteKit, and you don't have to manually deal with hx-swap not taking effect.

Is anybody arguing? People say all sorts of nonsense. Not all of that should be at the top of HN.
Uh, no? The parent was talking about software engineers, whereas this guy was closer to the hard-engineering and construction aspects, and on top of that, he was involved in wire fraud... Huge difference versus just being a smaller actor with no intent to concoct a big scheme.
Separated in the sense land went under water rather than plates moved away?
> Are you assuming that P-cores only get powered on after E-cores are fully saturated?

No, that's not how M1/M2 work.

Apps are generally on the P-cores, but daemons are on E-cores, and the daemons are doing essential work like keeping you connected to wifi. And the apps aren't running all the time if you're just browsing or editing text. It's all part of the end goal of having a lot of battery life.
I wonder what argument is made that it does have zero carbon emissions. Does the article say? I think by 2023 everyone knows the carbon impact of compute so what could they possibly say as otherwise?
