Great opportunity to take the plunge into a Linux phone, like Pinephone. Still in beta quality but with more people, more can be done.

Personally, I daily drive it with compromise. Had I been a secretary, it wouldn't cut it.
I don't know you personally so I'll help attest to the third requirement listed above, I hit a diaper and was impressed it was playable on mobile. It loaded extremely quickly and was enjoyable. My score was 220, but on a second go I got 550.
It was a weird, early design. 90% of that "submarine" is a giant bladder that held gasoline, with a tube through the middle, and then a sphere at the bottom. There's a window at the top of the tube, and then a steel hatch separating the sphere from the tube. It's a weird design, that's just how they decided to do it back then.
That advancement was made by honda, so these guys had only to make a bigger tank to win the record

Totally, Gimbal and Gofast were immediately discredited as Gimbal, well, being the gimbal of the sensor + contrast enhacement and Gofast being the parallax effect on a probably balloon moving at normal wind speeds. The last one I haven't seen conclusions, but if you squint it looks like an airliner at a distance. Finally the green tringle one also was discarded as a lens artifact.
The style of this article is quite something. At first I thought it was AI generated.
This article brought to mind a different but related scenario. I live on an island that was recently affected by a typhoon. Internet speeds are usually pretty good, but in the aftermath of the storm cable internet has been up-and-down depending on the day, and the cell towers are very spotty. I've found that most modern apps depend on a high-speed connection, and give a very poor experience otherwise. Of course this seems obvious in hindsight, but it's a different experience living through it.
>Is there anything stopping a Canadian coming to the USA and paying our prices for health care? If not then why don't more Canadians do it?

My favorite example of this is Prime Minister Chretien's secret trips to the Mayo Clinic in 1999. <https://web.archive.org/web/20100204202553/http://www.montre...>
True and not true.

In modern apps, there's often additional assets loaded from Javscript calling endpoints or calling for more assets.

If you do server side rendering, there are usually fewer roundtrips.
You must have missed the memo... It's now super easy to extend the context of 2k llama models to 8k, 16k, or even 32k with just a small fine tune and a tweak to the code.

You still need the memory to be able to go that high, but it's totally doable.
HN is an old fashioned text based thing with no bells or whistles whatsoever. Of course it's responsive.
Types replace some tests and introduce a lot of ceremony.
If this a worthwhile tradeoff depends.

E.g. I wrote c# and Python for a living. Especially in the mid 2010s python was much better for the Microservices I wrote because they are so small that you could unit test them exhaustively. The lack of ceremony and small domain model made development super easy. C# just felt clunky and limiting. You spend lots of time wrangling types which could have been figured out by the compiler.

Nowadays c# has gotten a lot of features that reduce type ceremony and extend their usefulness (nuallibility checks, better tuples etc) so it feels much more ergonomic (unlike java where the culture still goes off on needless verbosity) . Python also got types which I use a lot, it helps to document it for other developers, ides and spot bugs.
Our goal is to increase the support of webhooks on the internet as much as possible. If they begin supporting webhooks, that'll be super cool. Hopefully, they use Convoy [0] :)

The intelligent aspect is working around rate limits.

Lots of Canadians do just that. Even when I was a kid, long time ago, my best friend had to go to the US for urinary tract surgery. It is effectively a 2 tier system with the second tier being "Go to the US".

I’m one of many people with cherished long shelves of old copies of the magazine who stopped subscribing when the charity sold it to Disney.

It’s sad, I think as long as its sale was funding the fieldwork people were happy to pay. But make it into a normal for profit magazine and it’s just another crass commercial effort without heart. And people voted with their wallets.
I have tried to get into Canada as a FAANG engineer through internal transfer from within the company. The pay was hilarious compared to what I would have gotten in the US, but I had personal reasons to choose Canada instead.

It has been a total shitshow. I started the process in June of 2022, eventually the team I was moving to got bored of waiting for the work permit in March 2023.

Factoring out the (ridiculous) 3 months it took for the relocation agency to prepare and submit my work permit application, it was six months of waiting with no feedback at all from the IRCC about where the process is stuck. All inquiries went unanswered.

Once I lost the position, I emailed the local Canadian embassy to let them know my thoughts, I was (expectedly) greeted back with an automated email saying that emails about immigration will not be looked at.

All in all, the processes in Canada are very immature and if you value predictability and stability in your life, do not attempt to get a job there.
That doesn't really capture it though. Anyone who lives in a home which is occupied by the owner counts in this figure. So if someone in their 20s is unable to afford to live on their own and has to live with their parents, they will count towards this homeowner statistic.
I answered it above, but I almost always cook at home. I use gas though, so maybe not fair comparison since heating elements draw a lot of power. Through 9 months out of the year I probably use $50 worth of gas strictly for cooking, so still lower in cost in the end than you're doing, but I'd say if you're cooking on an induction stove and living in a larger space than me you're doing pretty good at €20 a month. You could probably do a little better, I don't know if you have a TV or a desktop PC or a lot of little electronics plugged in taking phantom draw (I have none of those things), or what your electric rates are, how big of a refrigerator you have, etc. €20 is really good for almost anyone.

Latency absolutely does accumulate for code as the parent described that cannot make a request until the previous one has returned (images linked from css files for example, or a spa with poorly chunked code). There is a lot of that code out there. "Modern" tooling and practices reduce that, but it not a solved problem for the majority of legacy code.

I also enjoy a wide section of modern architecture and art - As a visual impression and experience in a museum.

Where modern arcitecture fails for me is in creating a comfortable, pleasant and practical environment for people to live in.

Le Corbusier famously thought of houses as machines to live in. Maybe that metaphor is wrong to start with.
I've owned a Steel HR for many years and I can highly recommend them. I wanted a basic smart watch with a classic analog look that isn't too flashy but offers notifications, basic fitness tracking with a battery that I don't have to think about very often (we have enough stuff to keep charged in our daily lives). The Steel HR fits the bill perfectly. I've gotten many compliments about it too, and people are surprised to learn it is a smart watch. Don't expect to read full emails on it. But then again, I never understood why people would want to.

As for size, I never thought it was too small. In fact, I would say it's a perfect size for my wrist.
Most providers allow enough requests to make this work. E.g. Render supports 400 requests/minute for GET requests. It's enough to make this work. :)
> EVs are worse than ICEs in every way except emissions.

Let’s see. EVs generally have worse range and are substantially slower to charge while on a trip.

But they are quieter, simpler, more reliable, have generally superior performance (at least in categories where weight doesn’t matter), need substantially less maintenance, don’t stink (tires still stink, but the rest of the EV doesn’t), can recharge at home, and can do V2L/V2H/V2G [0].

[0] To be fair, V2L is a surprisingly rare feature. V2G seems likely to get stuck behind an embarrassing unwillingness on the part of anyone involved to use genuinely open standards or do decouple the implementation from various middlemen involved whose sole purpose is to intermediate between the vehicle and the utility. And V2H will share all of V2G’s problems plus the utilities’ general desire to discourage anything that reduces customer’s reliance on them and also the fact that there seems to be nothing remotely resembling a standard for microgrid interconnection devices / disconnects to enable islanding. As far as I can tell, most microgrid solutions are single-vendor, and most of them except the serious hardcore off grid gear are annoying tied to the cloud. We need a standard where a building can have a microgrid interconnection device, with multiple available suppliers, and where customers can install downstream equipment that interoperates with the device, sources from other brands. And this whole thing needs to work without explicit approval from the utility. (Requiring certification of each device makes sense. Requiring paperwork to be filed and permission obtained from the utility to install a V2H-capable EVSE or a solar inverter or a generator or whatever is broken. (Requiring utility permission to export is a different story, and utilities should be able to communicate, in real time, permissible export limits and the current and upcoming rate schedule. This should work without an internet connection.)

But this rant about V2H/V2G shouldn’t distract from the overall point: ICE cars aren’t doing V2G/V2G at all anytime soon.
Android ROMs allow telephony well.
Personally, I'm on GrapheneOS.

Your comment does make more sense if you're talking about non-Android ROMs. None of the existing ones convince me.

Yes that's reasonable but the idea that somehow people who aren't inside the sausage-making process can assume that the reason they don't like the "horse turning" animation in Diablo IV is that people were assigned to cash shop items in the mobile game is not reasonable.

It's entirely possible for example that they had plenty of animators and but ran out of time. Or they had animators and time but found that they had to compromise on some animations because there was too much going on on-screen and otherwise the frames would drop or the minimum spec would get uncomfortably high or whatever. There are any number of reasons that could be the cause here and we on teh outside have absolutely no way of knowing.

I hate what they did with diablo immortal as much as anyone but we don't know enough to say how that affected diablo IV if at all.
> The more talent there is in Canada, the more talented work can be done.

Eh, no. If you ship a bunch of CS majors off to a cattle farm, they aren't going to get hired to do websites for the cows.

You need demand for the talent or the talent is not economically useful.

The is more obvious when you think about other areas that require talent but underpay (or have a talent glut), e.g. music, art, dance. Becoming a musician on average will not result in fantastic pay, yet composing music and playing an instrument both require talent.

> or actually get shit done.

You assume there is shit to get done - new companies take venture capital (either from a VC or a Bank) and a business plan to be profitable. Lacking those, if the companies that are successful are not going gang-busters wild profitable, they likely don't have the capital to expand their operations, and new people seeking to break into the market won't be able to fund themselves to do so.
> Well, at least you’re honest about supporting censorship of the “right” people.

I support that a media company is not forced to host content that is deemed against their ToS, especially when there are a myriad of publishers and alternatives out there.

Is that censorship? Has this guy been silenced? He is still in YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, plus he is given air time in places like FOX news. Him complaining about censorship is akin to a billionaire crying about the cost of living.

If we would consider this as "censorship", is porn being "censored" in YouTube? Is nazi content? And if so, should we force YouTube to host such things?

Either way, the naive libertarian notion that everything should be allowed unless it harms others, does not fit here either, for a myriad of reasons, starting with the fact that "harm" is poorly defined, and there is a case to be made about this guy being actively harmful to society as a whole. But again, that is too big of an idea to fit in the libertarian framework.

Review: The AYANEO 2S is my new favourite handheld
How are you feeling about the increase in popularity of handheld computers in the last few years? I personally find the idea of playing an MMO on a handheld very interesting, but it seems like the hardware just isn't there yet, as they're either too weak, too hot or have too short of a battery life.
IIRC the issue was if the remote hands opened our closet they would see we were over our contract limit for servers in the rack. The late 90s were kind of the wild west when it came to colos.
You should watch the initial interviews with James Cameron. He explains 1) composite hulls have a finite number of compression cycles before they fail, typically less than 10 (this was dive #7 give or take, I forget the exact numbers) and 2) no composite material is perfect, the water pressure will find imperfections and work it's way into the material, causing weak points

Steel is a significantly better material for this task. I'm stunned they even considered carbon fiber.
You assume all homeowners are happy with the situation. That is definitely not the case. Many looking to upsize or thinking about housing for their kids are not pleased with the rising prices. And this crowd is growing too.
Ask HN: Why do VCS see market opportunity in dev tools?
This trend has no stopping it seems. Every dev tool startups are getting funded.

Some of these startups are simple clones of existing proprietary services offered by AWS and other providers. (Like Cognito / Auth0)

Why VCs are betting on this market? What is the opportunity to build a huge business here for a new startup, beating reputed players like AWS, Auth0 etc? What is the conviction of VCs here that these new startups will build a $100M business?

I'm confused.

Also, despite getting a lot of pessimistic comments on the future of such startups here in HN, they seem to raise further rounds (Series A, B) and even building a stable business.

I feel like VCs are better at spotting something huge in this space, than the actual users (I mean developers) who feel pessimistic. Lol.
Is there a video of the talk that preceeded this song?
For the umpteenth time, systemd is not a single thing, it’s a group of related projects. The core is just big enough to fulfill the (quite hard) job of bringing up a system, doing dependency resolution and running services. Plenty other parts of the project are individual services only.

At least the "123" keyword still works on Google.
I've been doing this long enough that I remember when all the big web sites were hosted in California. In fact, my company had its web farm in Sunnyvale which we managed over frame relay from Atlanta.

Whenever I'd visit the west coast, I was shocked how much faster the web seemed.

So I sympathize with the sentiment.

Thing is though, the entire web feels pretty sluggish to me these days. And that's with us-east-1 less than 300 miles away from me. Because most web sites aren't slow due to where they're hosted, but rather because of how bloated with crap most of them have become.
I'm currently trying to migrate from Germany to Canada. It appears to me that the job market in Canada is horrible at the moment.

I have 8YoE in Cloud and quite in demand in Germany(recently got a good offer, which i'm considering, from a German company purely because of my open source contributions, also passed HC in one of FAANGs, but stuck in team match phase due to layoffs). I sent 10s of applications(it's hard to send 100s as i'm highly specialized) and didn't get a single interview from that.
That watch was custom-made for the dive, though. It was not a regular Rolex diving watch. I think the strongest commercially available diving watches are rated for 1000 meters – less than 10% of the depth of the Challenger Deep.

Which is of course itself ridiculous, since the deepest any human has ever dived was 534 meters, and even professional divers very rarely go deeper than 200 meters.
If you want a smooth experience that is easy to set up, you can provide a download link (gasp) and serve that over a CDN, and just have your app be native.

python -m json.tool seems neat. I am always dumping JSON in single log lines and then expanding it to diff it (currently using Cmd+Opt+L in PyCharm).

Has the author of this article ever used a custom ROM? There are so many free alternatives for these apps out there. If I remember correctly, LineageOS ships with their own version of Dialer/Messages anyway. I usually replace them with the versions of SimpleMobileTools, which work just fine.

The main difficulty for custom ROMs are not these standard apps. The real issues are bootloaders which cannot be unlocked, undocumented binary&buggy firmware blobs, SafetyNet, Google Play Services, and so on. Just look how Google effectively broke the AuroraStore App recently. It's getting more and more difficult to use Android without a Google Account.
If the primary issue is the wealthy controlling housing then why is the brand new Toronto mayor, a representative of the working class party (NDP), have zero stuff about reforming housing policy like zoning and height limits, or anything about anti-NIMBYism? Basically the stuff that's very obviously been holding back development forever.

Chow would probably be at the front of any Arab Spring type protest in Toronto championing housing.

Yet her whole website is the same shit we've been sold as solutions since the 1970s: city wide rent control that has repeatedly resulted in a long term reduction in housing supply, a small set of new gov built skyscrapers that will take a decade to build and come in at twice the cost of budget, doubling down on disincentivizing renting properties by 2xing the amount of legal worries property renters have to go through when dealing with bad tenants, some weak stuff about city spending $100M to buy homes off the market so they don't get renovated (so basically 10 homes), etc, etc.

https://www.oliviachow.ca/plan

Is the NDP the party of the wealthy elite in Toronto? Over valuing protecting a small amount of exclusive neighbourhoods with old Victorian homes at the expense of the rest of the (very large and varied) city and only ever allowing expensive skyscrapers to be built?

The answer to that might be yes. But it's hard to disconnect those critiques from the language and policies of municipal politics here in Toronto... and almost every major western city. Which always sounds the same, while conventiently blaming someone else.
Thanks for commenting and reaching out, would love to know what you think of poly. I was learning Rust along the way, so there is definitely room for improvement. From the memory allocation perspective at least, I didn't paid it much mind as the practical applications are not that memory intensive.

I think the problem is that everyone has their own “all I want - it’s so simple” set of features, but there are nearly limitless possibilities of feature combinations.

I wanted a long battery life (e-ink would work) minimal watch with health tracking only. In the end I just chose the Apple Watch SE, switched off all phone & message notifications and made recharging part of my daily routine. It’s easier to adapt than find the perfect device and I’ve found many useful features on the SE that I wouldn’t have chosen on my custom smart watch.
I think flaky tests would be always retried and if they start failing 100% then it’s marked as a pure regression. But they don’t block merges if they fail (ie it might be done only after the merge). Not 100%. But generally yes - the culture is to incentivize people to fix their flaky tests and it’s one of the things EMs are judged on.

> Ultimately, our goal with PFS is not to assert that any test is 100 percent reliable, because that’s not realistic. Our goal is to simply assert that a test is sufficiently reliable and provide a scale to illustrate which tests are less reliable than they should be.
It's not precise but it's a pretty good bet they prefer current prices turn 2010 prices.
