This has been a perennial question about Netflix for a while now: they've tended to want to brand themselves as a tech company, but that hasn't been true for a long time now and was questionable to start with.

If they were a tech company that'd be a SaaS provider for video streaming, in which case all of this would make sense - the proliferation of streaming providers certainly provides the use-case that someone could offer that as a branded service. But the time for that has come and gone as well - the other streaming services exist, and they work fine.

And, amusingly, the instruction count is also very competitive, especially inside loops.

Furthermore, it achieves all of that with a much simpler ISA that matches x86 and arm in features, while having an order of magnitude less instructions to implement and verify.

Haven’t we been hearing about the horrors of civil asset forfeiture for more than a decade? Why is this still happening? Is there any sizeable constituency for this? Does anyone think this is a good idea, other than the corrupt law enforcement officers who are benefiting?

That one always blows my mind when people drop “housing is a human right”. So everyone has an inalienable right to the property and labor of another person? What if you were in John Locke’s state of nature and you were not participating in any social contract, would you still have that right?

Rec.709 actually defines a peak luma of 100 nits. sRGB has it defined as 80 nits. These numbers are really only for mastering, but as you push further from the standard you start to see artifacts, namely banding in gradients.

HDR standards require higher bit depth and define higher peak brightness. In addition, and this is probably technically the toughest bit, they define dynamic metadata formats which define tone mapping as the content changes [0].

One thing you may be missing about the particular effect we see on this website is that it disappears as you turn your device brightness up. So you can still get that brightness with SDR content.

Yeah, I kinda don’t agree with the dichotomy of “you either optimize or you build features”. They’re not exclusive. If you understand the tools and their trade offs you should be able to use the right tools for the job which won’t hinder you in the future.

Of course if all you know is JavaScript, then that requires going a bit outside your comfort zone.
Well, we know where that leads...
Civil asset forfeiture it is, and the cases are titled as $x,000 v. California/Nebraska/etc.
Imagine your left speaker is down 6db above 220hz and right stays flat, you play a bar choard at A 110 on a guitar that is panned hard left. Everything in that chord bellow 220 is hard left but everything above is now more in the middle and mixing with the vocals and drums which were set in the middle making things muddy. In reality we get dips and humps all over the frequency response and if they are not matched it spreads those sounds across the image and this can be quite bad. Play your A note and the fundamental is panned where you want it, the second harmonic is closer to center, the third is somewhere between those and everything else is more right, the sound is no longer isolated in the field where it should be. Now play your A an octave up (second harmonic of the previous A) and fundamental is closer to center, second is more left and so on, everything moves subtly. Apply that to an entire band playing with all of them blurred like this, the stereo image falls apart and we only get a vague impression

These examples are not exactly accurate to the real world, meant more to demonstrate the problem but we can hear it easily, this is a big part of why some speakers/headphones sound muddy and have poor deffinition. With more simple sources this is not much of an issue but as complexity increases the lack of matching becomes more noticeable.

In surround the rear speakers can be quite bad before issues arise since the shape of our ears and our head means we are not great at pinpointing the location of sounds behind us, we hear hard left and hard right behind us well but we have a dead spot between where things are not quite so clear. I would suspect some of the rear is also mixed into the fronts which would help, hard panning tends to be avoided as it does not sound natural. As I said, the surround stuff is a best guess on my part, I suspect I am in the ballpark but lack some of the nuances.
> I’ve found it really difficult to keep curious, smart, young engineers on track

I’ve found the opposite. The young engineers are generally willing to listen to reason. The older Enterprise Architects are the ones that want to keep making things more complicated, or want to keep using suboptimal solutions because we’ve been using them for years.

Now that I write it down it’s kind of curious how on one hand it’s complicating things with stuff they already know, and on the other hand it’s absolute rejection of stuff they don’t.

Maybe I’m the same?
uh what? source?
> Why is this still happening?

What would cause it to stop happening?

State control over the police in the US is imperfect, and, since the US is a fundamentally flawed democracy for deep structural reasons, popular control over the state is even more limited. Thus there are two separate reasons why this wouldn’t be stopped even if most people were against it (which is by no means clear anyway).
You forgot `Windshield` as a base fragile.

this is a waste of time given the medium. Essentially nobody will change their opinion, and they'll end up yelling at each other for "entertainment". If the sides are so sure of their facts and their data, participate in the research and conference environment associated with vaccines, covid, etc. and present without the histrionics. Twain already commented on this.

Are they questioning the deaths? Whether Covid existed? The vaccines and if so which one(s)? The concept of vaccines in general? The political and economic reaction to Covid? The impact on the world economy, ... It's an undefined "discussion" that will flow from item to item unconstrained by roadmap or justification.
As someone who absolutely loves any and every attempt to use my mediocre Japanese skills, all I can say is もったいない[0]!

...that being said, this is also kind of inevitable. Masahiro Sakurai[1] talked about this in a video, about how he has to remind Japanese developers to name all their files and functions in English. Just in case they need to bring on foreign contractors. Japanese programmers are already slinging around a lot of English relative to the average resident of Tokyo, even if it's all wasei-eigo[2].

[0] What a waste!

Yes that is the same people that translated UNDERTALE into Japanese and yes it's because Toby Fox recommended them.

[2] Made-in-Japan English. Japanese is like 10-20% English by volume, so sometimes they'll just make up new English words. Sometimes they even get loanworded back into English!

You absolutely don't have to build a container. You can, and it makes startup a few seconds faster so they recommend it, since it's hardly a pain anyway if you already have CI in place.

Anyway, they changed the default behavior a few releases ago. In the past you had to pass --auto-build to avoid having to build, but now the default behavior is to auto build. If you instead want to optimize you have to do extra steps: https://www.keycloak.org/server/configuration
It has some value. If you let AI label the data and feed it back to it you are reaffirming it's guesses. If you independently verified that guesses are as correct as human ones you are teaching AI to be more sure about the correct thing.
> Capitalism is literally destroying everything

You can't give credit all the credit to capitalism. Communism destroyed what was the fourth-largest lake in the world, which was so big that it was called a "sea"[0].

> Some of the smartest people on the internet aggregate on HN and some have still not figured this out. Either because 1) They haven't taken the time to look into the n-order knock on effects that are produced by capitalism in it's current form, or 2) they are too interested in self-enrichment to make any changes to behavior for their own comfort and convenience.

The idea is that "full red" should always be about the same brightness (user controlled, so "same"). Not "red" on an SDR screen and "iris burning bright red" on a HDR screen. Essentially, you want to extend your color parameter space to give the iris-burning range new names so that SDR and HDR images can both be displayed sensibly.
> Just as it could be in the backend? I don't follow that point.

GraphQL server is the part of the backend.

The problem is that client has a new requirement, it is verbally communicated through UI change request. Frontend team implements the change then has to make a verbal request to the backend team for new data to be exposed. There's a bit of back and forth, testing. Everybody waits for everybody. It all takes time and is most of the time brainless busywork. GraphQL makes it so that request to the backend team doesn't need to be verbal (jira is same as verbal for me). It can be mediated through software and even fulfilled automatically if the GraphQL server is open enough during development. The cost of that streamlining is that at some point security or performance issues might arise, but those then can be dealt with solely by the backend and db team, as they should be because frontend is always insecure.

> if you offer a third-party API at all

For one such app 99 have both server and the client developed in sync.

And even then with offering third party api I think it's way easier to fall into the trap of special-casing your frontend with poorly designed REST than with GraphQL, althought there might be performance and security challenges as there always are with anything public. So there might be a bit to learn about how to deal with that in GraphQL ecosystem.
Disclosure: I work at FusionAuth.

Heya, it depends!

I think if you have one app and don't plan to have any others, it can make sense to use an open source library like Devise/Omniauth (Rails) or Spring Security (Spring/Java). Passport.js is pretty good for javascript. You can also use some of the simpler SaaS options like Supertokens or Clerk.

If you plan to have more than one app, especially if you want commercial off the shelf software to hang off it, then you should start looking at auth servers (Keycloak and FusionAuth are both such servers, as are others mentioned in sibling threads).

Then the choice becomes SaaS or self hosted. If you are looking for ease of use, SaaS is where it's at. Most every auth server has a hosted version; Auth0 is the most popular one but I believe the free tier is 7k users and MFA options are limited. FusionAuth doesn't have a free SaaS option, but if you stand it up in EC2 or some other provider, we offer TOTP MFA, unlimited SAML, OIDC and social connections, and unlimited users and clients (we call them Applications). But of course you run it yourself, which is not free.

Anyway, lots of options out there. Based on the little I've seen here, I'd probably recommend an auth server (because you have many apps). Self-hosted or SaaS probably depends on your appetite for running an auth server; I don't have context to recommend one way or another.
The issue is that everyone is saying some version of that tagline. It's forgettable and the kind of thing you tune out over time. I guess we'll see how they perform moving forward though.
Yes but every time I've seen it, it's in a small scope, it's very obvious the type of the variable and what it's doing. It's really not as bad as it seems once you spend some time in go.
No, trying to better yourself is fine.

Following that advice isn't bettering yourself, you're essentially just doing the human version of SEO.

You aren't becoming a better or kinder or more interesting person, nor are you working on your ability to make real human connections with others.

And a lot of you will say, so what? If it gets me a girlfriend, what does it matter?

These are the dudes who get dumped or divorced and never see it coming, because they never bothered to learn how to relate to people.
There may be no ethical businesses, but some are definitely better than others. All the more reason to make a difference.
I switched to Bitwarden a few months ago (after using LastPass for years) and haven't looked back. Would recommend.

While I'm sure Bitwarden has its own set of issues I'm unaware of... at least you can self-host it, it's open-source, and it sure doesn't seem to have constant security incidents/oddities like LastPass!
Wait what? The police there is allowed to straight up rob civilians their cash? Why?
It's still happening because people believe the police to be above the law. Look at how hard people go to bat for officers that murder someone and have it caught on video, how expansive qualified immunity is. When these kinds of issues go to court, it's very hard to get people to look beyond the idea that blue badge good which makes any court case a massive uphill battle.

It's not that the police are right, it's that if you get harassed by the police or pulled over etc that you clearly did something wrong, and people will contort themselves into a pretzel to make that logic true.
If this takes off you may very well get a letter from Stack Overflow lawyers over the name. It's your choice if you want to take that risk, but just FYI.

(And to be honest, I think they would be justified too; I initially assumed it was related to Stack Overflow based on the title. but turns out it's not – this is the sort of confusion trademarks are intended to protect).
IME this can be hard if built on a platform or dependencies one doesn't control, which is common at early stage companies.

Because often the dependencies require surfing latest, or close enough, versions to maintain a secure system or avoid stalls for jumping major versions. Sometimes even core languages and standard libraries may require staying at least near latest versions.

What's the risk to a few hundred people vs. keeping the cash flowing? Would it not be safer to have a rigorous training method to upgrade from regional to long-haul jets and to refill the regional pipeline. Or would raising salaries and doing training exceed the weregild?
Generic during development. Once the dust settles you can restrict to what's used.
The sizeable constituency has been isolated into tiny bubbles of self-absorption.
You're believing in lies. Get off the kool aid.
Yes that's essentially how I understand it: hardware-wise HDR is basically "a really bright screen" coupled with good black levels. To ensure that you always get the HDR effect at any brightness, you need to reserve some headroom. It should be noted that you probably could not sustain this peak brightness for long anyhow due to thermal issues.

It’s interesting that Apple isn’t using terms like AR, VR, MR, XR, and pancake lenses.

It’s prob either that they want to package the tech as their own and give it fancy labels (like spatial computing). Or they are concerned about being compared to competitors. Or perhaps they want to do the “it just works” thing where you are not supposed to care about the specs, like system memory on iPhones. Maybe all three.

But if they want to avoid being compared to competitors, that concerns me. As they use that strategy to deliver inferior products.

It's a slow process fixing it, and the police departments don't want it fixed, and the police departments have a lot of leverage.

Those are the biggest aspects, but the private aspect is actually an important part of why many open source projects are using it. They don't really want to be having those sort of conversations in github issues or the discussions page or anywhere indexable.

Like getting on a call with a coworker or a collaborator on the project. You can technically record it or leave it open to the public, but most people do not because they just see it as not "informing the public" worthy.
Reports are that roswell ufo were shot down with scalar wewpoms in a thunderstorm, then reverse engineered, part of that engineering involved development of electropulse weapons—suitsble for use agsinst et craft. But currently, 95 % of ufos are our own vehicles, reverse engineered, making use of anti gravity and alternate energy sources, from recovered crafts. they are only ufos to the extent that they are secret—not part of official govmt operation, but part of an extra-governments black ops coalition, funded vy drugs and sex traficking, working with aerospace companies. Thus, when govmt and navy cant identify ufo crafts, they are telling the truth. Tney have t been read into this extra-governmentsl and illegal program. This is what greer snd gruwch are referring to

I saw the comment on the prior HN story from the person who has stepped in and I'm glad he was able to. It wasn't clear at all why they had decided to shutdown when they had money to continue. Someone had alluded to an internal argument. It seems a real shame the current leadership couldn't work past that, but also a shame that they couldn't find a hand-off of some sort themselves before someone else stepped up, as they would have caused a lot of anxiety among the users that the organisation is ultimately there to serve.

Almost feel bad for legit people driving through I80 with out of state plates, but the's what happens when you have a low population state with a major thoroughfare. They have some really clever social engineering tactics too that a former worker of mine tipped me on.
