It's funny, I asked myself this recently. I'm very easy going too. I can be opinionated if needed, but I also don't mind stepping back either. I just don't really care about a lot of these things. Unless I think something is being done completely wrong, I tend to just work in whatever way the team prefers.

As a rule I dislike answering open-ended and nuanced questions on the spot in interviews since it basically guarantees a poorly considered response.

These days I'll push back a little on these questions by trying to get something more specific I can answer more explicitly. Eg:

"That's a difficult question to answer on the spot... I'd need to think about it a bit honestly. It might help if you explain some of your values and I can give some thoughts on how I would fit with those."

Something I often come back to is the context dependency of a lot of these questions. The monolith vs microservices question as an example probably doesn't have a universally correct answer. Clearly understanding what being optimised for is more important that some off the cuff general opinion on the pros and cons of monoliths vs microservices. So far as I have an opinion on that debate, this would be it.

So personally I'd express an opinion by shifting the question a bit if possible. Instead of giving my values, I'd ask for company's values and explain how I'd fit. Or if I think the question is context dependent I'd probably express how important I feel the context is.

I think really interviewers are just looking for someone who can contribute useful opinions / perspectives and will work well with the team. And you can do that without having to give an on the spot answer to, "monolith vs microservices?"

Reliable production of the material is an engineering problem. If it can just be shown to work once, then the goal will be to mass-produce it in useful forms and structures.

That's what I am asking for. Is there really no documents for the hardware on android phones?
I am not asking for any particular phone or a particular combination of chips used, but at least an overview document but tells in details about the hardware scenario of the mobile platform.

> Who should own media? Private people, or the state?

I mean of course — who should own media.. we have precisely two choices, and no possibility to imagine anything else! What you’ve put forward is known as a false dichotomy. That is a situation where you present two options as if they are the only options.

Oh wow — in your response Re government you have literally stated a dichotomy. Alright. I feel bad now. I have to let you know that there are more than two options (your preferred and a horrible alternative) in just about every situation in life. Please my friend - go out into the world and seek out the alternatives - they are infinite. This false dichotomy business is harmful to everyone around you.

I agree that we should move beyond Marxist thought .. but I think we should be post Marxist not pre.
Have you written unsafe code in Rust? I have some experience writing unsafe code, and most of the time you can do it without problems, wrapped in sensible safe APIs that don't allow unsafety to leak. Of course, this needs experience and knowledge about API design and the invariants that must be followed... and preferably another set of eyes.

The thing is that once you've managed to do that, the _consumers_ of your API are free from worries. The situation becomes a whole lot better than the equivalent C situation, where both sides of the API need to be careful about what funny abominations the another side might devise.
Show HN: UI/UX of TradingJoe, UK based trading platform
Hi, my co-founders and I have been working on the first prototype for TradingJoe, a UK-based stocks and options trading platform for UK and European users. I am sharing a quick video to show initial UI/UX and basic interactions. This is just a first draft with basic screens. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

True for so many 'simple' items in our world of mass-production. 100's if not 1000's of people laboured to bring even the simplest items into existence.
Physical one, no. Apps, all the time for any napkin math. Unfortunately most calculator apps are no match for dedicated calculators - they can't be trusted and most devs don't give a shit to the balance between mental load and quick input. Most apps don't even have ultra basic stuff like binary operator repeat, making it pointless to use.

I consider RPN obsolete - yes it's faster for longer calculations but the input clarity is also lost compared to algebraic, and if I need longer calculations I'll just take a proper CAS or scripting language instead of mental juggling.

On Android, I've found HiPER Calc and Segitiga.Pro to be the only non-emulated calculators worth using. Both apps are clearly made by enthusiasts with attention to detail and correctness. On Windows/Linux/MacOS, I haven't found a single app worth using.

Calculators have a razor thin niche, and most "advanced" calculator apps like SpeedCrunch fail to stay in it, due to the feature creep or otherwise. Most often they are trying to reinvent a REPL instead of using proper algebraic calculator input, and overload it with functions that belong in more serious software. All that lowers the input and iteration speed, and makes the calculator too clunky to use for napkin math and/or bloated and slow to start (Qalculate). At this point you can take any scripting/functional REPL instead of this app.

Overall, changes point in the direction of competing with youtube.
1) Significantly better Rust support.

2) Doesn't require dealing with the madness that is ESP-IDF (terrible build system, runtime interrupt allocation, ...)

3) Simpler and cheaper.

What if thats where all black holes come from and thats why we haven’t found any aliens? Just a misfortune reality that “accidental blackhole” is lower on the tech tree than fast space travel.
Marx was specifically talking about industrial production and made that pretty clear in his work. “It’s far too low resolution a phrase” when purposefully taken out of context. If “the means of production” applies to the factory owner and the plumber equally, I’d counter its not at all a useful phrase for “teaching people to hate another group of people” because those aren’t at all the same type of people.

Stop playing cat vs mouse and start using a physical hardware token as a 2fa. This makes it impossible to phish people because anything but the right domain gets a wrong key.
_If_ some of its properties change depending on the direction you measure, it can’t look the same in all directions.

As a simple example, consider graphite. That’s just ‘C’, but the crystalline version is layered, so it behaves differently depending on what direction you look at it.

Like wood, it will split easier when hammered parallel to the layers than when hit oblique to it.
I assume most tech-savy people will want to stay far away from a browser that uses cryptonomics to confuse people into feeling better about blocking ads.
There is some truth in this. IE had a box model a bit like TeX's. Divs stacked inline and spans sat side by side so you easily make very sophisticated layouts. Navigator's box model was dumb as a rock in comparison. Divs started a new vertical context like they do now. So Navigator's model was standardised as the lowest common denominator. It would have been pretty much impossible at the time to retrofit IE's model into Navigator, and it was years before inline blocks were supported in Firefox. It's not so surprising that Microsoft didn't downgrade their browser to meet the standard.
Possibly? In this paper they say the frequency needs to be between 2.4-10,000 Mhz and to be over a certain power threshold. Also the individual needs to be within a certain distance and have sensitive enough hearing (over 5000 hz).

> I know we are not in the early 1900s anymore...

We still have the antitrust laws of Teddy Roosevelt's era, the Clayton Act and the 1890 Sherman Act.

Sherman Act, Section 2:

"Every person who shall monopolize, or attempt to monopolize, or combine or conspire with any other person or persons, to monopolize any part of the trade or commerce among the several States, or with foreign nations, shall be deemed guilty of a felony."

The US Justice Department hasn't often applied that standard rigorously, but it can if it wants to.
Works now. Remarkably helpful. Unfortunately it gets exponentially difficult after the first few exchanges. But I think there is definitely something to this approach.

Maybe if there is a way to highlight individual words and get a sneak peak at translations? And maybe a side button to speak an English word and get the target language translation (just as an aid -- currently I'm keeping google translate open on another tab).

This will immediately kill some of the parts (Chrome, Analytics, Alphabet) and increase the antitrust issues in others (Cloud, YouTube)
I think the point isn’t necessarily to not use chrome but to use something not based on chromium in general, which brave is, e.g. Firefox or Safari.
> The bad one consists of sitting in forums and threads being, “the voice of reason”.

You put it perfectly. I'm mostly skeptical and very guardedly optimistic because something seems to be happening. But I've very carefully marked each and every one of my comments with 'assuming this is true' or 'if this is true' to avoid the impression that I'm already convinced. I'm not. But I'm on the side of everybody getting their hands and their lab gear dirty: they are the ones doing the work and they are the ones who put their time (and sometimes their reputations) on the line. That starts off with the original Korean team but also goes for everybody else that has rolled up their sleeves and gone to work. Those people have an audience now, thanks to all these connected media and it's great to see the scientific process acting out in the open for a change where everybody gets to see how the sausage is made.

Meanwhile the Debbie Downers have probably never seen the insides of a lab and have never made anything, they're just taking the default position because it doesn't require any work at all and has the highest likelihood of being true. But I very quietly hope that they're wrong and I also hope that if they are wrong that they will own it. Unqualified negativity is just as dumb as unqualified positivity, it just looks smarter, but it isn't a sign of intelligence.
I’m absolutely nobody.
I would add their moves to put things behind codes of conduct. Not the first time I've seen them deployed purely to stifle criticism but I've never seen it done as overtly as this.

Yes, in particular, anyone can add citations that you can check if you're skeptical. In this case, the citation is an article from science.org [1], which includes the following quote:

> “They come off as real amateurs,” says Michael Norman, a theorist at Argonne National Laboratory. “They don't know much about superconductivity and the way they’ve presented some of the data is fishy.” On the other hand, he says, researchers at Argonne and elsewhere are already trying to replicate the experiment. “People here are taking it seriously and trying to grow this stuff.”

Temporally Coherent Stable Diffusion Videos via a Video Codec Approach
ITT: surprisingly many people think that software grows on trees and is harvested twice a year to get new versions of it. And that if you miss your harvesting cycle you might as well close your software farm and just kill over and die.

The way I see it, the primary motivation for software longevity should be the hardware longevity. Ideally, software needs to outlive the hardware rather than the other way around. But we came to expect ridiculously short version iterations because this process was a major profit driver for software companies.

If modern hardware happens to be more reliable than what was the norm 20-30 years ago, then, naturally, we should want the software to adjust to service the modern hardware. And if this doesn't happen -- it's a problem. In this instance, it seems to be an indication of companies big and small trying to sell worse quality software than what was reasonably possible while duping the audience into believing that the quality is still good.

Well, of course it is upsetting! Why would you even think otherwise?
> Being perma-skeptic is as bad as being a perma-fanboy

Not really?

Perma-skeptic will be far more accurate than perma-fanboy.

Depends on context but for example believing every get-rich-quick scheme will get you robbed by scammers, while perma-skeptic will miss very occasional actual opportunity.

Obviously catching and exploiting great opportunities would be even better, but of these two perma-skeptic is better.

> the DRM crowd here is saying but what if the Cook uses the knife the attack the restaurant clients?

Your analogy once again falls apart because in this hypothetical scenario, the cooks have a decade-long history of attacking the guests every single time they get a hold of a new knife.

In which case, yes, these cooks shouldn't have access to knives anymore. Of course that's not very practical, so perhaps they shouldn't be allowed to work as cooks anymore - i.e. separate Chrome from the ad business at the regulatory level and use Firefox or other alternatives on a personal level.
Politicians don't watch scifi.
Agreed. I have friends that are plumbers and friends that own factories.

Both plumbers and factory owners do indeed have opportunities to exploit people. But my plumber friend can only exploit one customer at a time, where as a factory owner multiplies that ability. Multiplication is a powerful operator.
Really? Putin seems to slowly change his mind, even as far as the aims of his "special military operation" are concerned. It looks like he is slowly realizing what he got himself into and his aim is to keep Ukraine unstable to prevent its association with the EU.
This is incorrect and in bad faith. Apple's mission of "to create technology that empowers people and enriches their lives" is actually closer to what they do. A less embellished version would be: "sell consumer devices with integrated software, with a focus on ease of use for non-technical users, and superior build quality"

> AVIF has an image resolution limit of 65536 x 65536 pixels.

but from https://tonisagrista.com/blog/2023/jpegxl-vs-avif/

> Max image size is limited to 4K (3840x2160) in AVIF, which is a deal breaker to me. You can tile images, but seams are visible at the edges,

> WebP also has a hard limit to an image's frame size, with its maximum dimension being 16,383 x 16,383

> WebP supports a max bit depth of 8-bit

> AVIF flexes a max bit depth of 10

Jpeg XL has progressive rendering support https://opensource.googleblog.com/2021/09/using-saliency-in-...

AVIF spec doesn't (although it might gain it: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=122171...)

JPEG-XL manages to be more efficient than other current formats: https://cloudinary.com/blog/jpeg-xl-how-it-started-how-its-g...

All of that while being a good all-around image format (rather than a specialized one like webp and avif): same format for web, photos, raw photos, etc. To me, this makes it the most noteworthy image format now.
How does the plumber exploit people with his/her tool ownership?
Found it a minute after i posted ;-)

Have you tried any of the high-scored ones?
To add a little to the existing replies. When you buy surface mount parts, they normally come on tapes - little plastic/cardboard strips with indents that the components sit in and a film over the top. These tapes are sold as reels if you need lots of units, but most hobbyists buy "cut tape" which the big distributors offer.

In a production setup, the pick and place machine accepts the reels and uses a vacuum tool to pick the parts up. It knows the orientation of the part in the tape (which is fixed) and where it needs to go on the board. Often components with irregular tops (usb connectors for example) will have small piece of kapton tape fixed to them to aid pickup. This is important: if you're doing this with tweezers, it's often annoying to pick the parts out of the tape and if you dump on the table you usually have to flip things the right way up, rotate them, etc. So a vacuum tool makes that a lot easier.

Small pens already exist and so do diy options like aquarium pumps, but this is a really polished looking project and great if it's open source too.
> It's actually perfectly fine to lose money; you have to invest before you can start making a profit, and services like Google Cloud can be money printers once they're established.

It's not fine if you use a monopoly in one area to buy your way into another. That's one of the core tenets in antitrust (back when it was being enforced, at least).
