That's an interesting idea. I'm not very versed in the flashlight world, so I don't know if it exists, but I at least haven't heard of a "pocket" flashlight that has bluetooth support.

Olight does make these "bulbs" that have Bluetooth support, you can configure color settings there through an app.

As far a market, there probably is if you're good. There are a bunch of people who collect all manner of flashlights, and boutique one-off things are usually a great thing.
Every NIMBY thinks they have just the right amount of "sensible" regulation.

They're a dying breed. We're forgetting how to look under the hood and understand "why something works".

Case in point, I'm slowly being replaced by Salesforce muppets for all my projects at work. They're little code monkeys with amazon ebook type knowledge, projects cost 20x more and I look like the mad scientist for speaking the truth. The products are worse in every possible metrics, I'm not crazy. The politics at play is the reason why I'm losing ground, not logic.

Cabinet designers are being replaced by Ikea flat pack artists in the software world. All we can do is stand by and watch.

And in regards to this blog, when Medium eventually go, that knowledge will go too. Blogs have died, personal websites as well, and their ability to be found in Google is almost non-existent.

Sorry I don't have anything more positive to add, except maybe that they're still there, slowly being alienated by the modern tech world!

Okay that distinction would make sense to me - we know everything was closer together - so what is currently the observable universe was once different sizes but we can’t speak to the grander universe as a whole as having a size in any meaningful terms. That sound correct?
Agreed.

Yes, there's 20 servings in this package if by a serving you mean 1/5th of what you average adult eats in one sitting.

The one exception here is when a portion actually equates to a portion, eg. '80 calories per cookie'. Those are wonderful, and probably what the original motivation for that type of labeling was; tangible.
> The Los Angeles Times took note of V’s success and tapped them to help launch its own personality-based TikTok account. They’re one of many publications attempting to recreate the success of individual creators on TikTok within their newsroom.

But what's the point? TikTok doesn't share AD revenue, so why do all of that for nothing?

Is it in hope that these followers become readers?

I personally don't trust any single creator news source, a single person is much much easier to influence than a whole news agency.

I used to follow johnny Harris regularly, then he dropped an economic video about a supposed new economic model that's supported by many companies.

The issue is almost all the talking points in that video were taken from the WEF, the same "you will own nothing and be happy" guys.[1]

I still think news creators have a place in the news cycle, maybe for more fun stuff, like science questions maybe economics, Tom Scott style videos, or digital investigations like coffeezilla, but for real news, news agencies are still king, especially ones that are publicly funded.

Ofcom urged to investigate Virgin Media broadband contracts
It just means you don't have to special case any particular scenario such as array-of-array, it's no different than array-of-whatever. Also jagged arrays form a complication.

But even for the simple case of large non-jagged arrays: In the situation where you needed this perf gain as a developer you would still need to be able to specify the order e.g. row-major or column-major, since the VM won't know your access pattern.

So if you make your own matrix class you would be better off storing a flat array yourself and doing the access arithmetic yourself like index = y*cols + x. It would be a pretty cumbersome API in Java if they had this in the declaration api and you declared double[100][100] how would you declare whether that 10k flat array is row major or column major? If the VM gets it wrong for your access pattern then a lot of the perf gain from fewer pointer indirections will be eaten by cache misses from looking in the wrong order.
>Because that's not how dilution works

...

>But you didn't even do basic research did you?

It makes sense BECAUSE that's exactly how dilution works. Diluting in Japanese lakes (or just the closest) is still as safe as diluting the fucking ocean because japanese lakes are also fucking massive relative to volume of water to be released. Politicians chose ocean because domestic politics. Use your brain and do some basic math. Dump all 1.25 tons / 1.2B litres / 660T becquerels into Lake Inawashiro @ 5.4km3 / 5.4T litres and it'll work out to ~120 becquerels of tritium per litre, still less than WHO limit of 10,000 per litre for drinking water. Diluting 1/5400 of the one lake with some salt water, +0.01% salienty, which is... drum roll fresh water territory. That's dumping everything at once. Now spread it out over 30 years. Spread that out over even more bodies of water and it's even more trivial. JP gov chose negligible domestic ecologic disaster with terrible domestic optics that will affect domestic sentiment and governance for negligible chance of international disaster with more managable optics. Which is still based on assumption that TEPCO can be trusted for decades and release will indeed be negligible. But we both know that's far from certain given reputation, hence JP gov would rather hedge by offloading potential political fallout into international commons, because they can't trust TEPCO not to fuck around on the time scale involved, so best not even risk something as sensitive as more radiation drama on JP soil. They'd rather risk losing 100s of billions in fishing exports than potential domestic ire. Which is fine. But also recognize this issue has as much if not more politics considerations than science. But you didn't even do basic political/geopolitical thinking relative to science did you?
I hope passkeys mean the end of social log in.

Social log in suffers from a discoverability problem "Hmm did I log in with Facebook or Apple? who knows". Being on the customer support end trying to deal with people trying to find out what magic Email apple generated for them is always a pain. Or people throwing away their facebook accounts etc.

Passkeys give similar benefits (no password to remember; works across devices). And it is discoverable! (Browser will tell you that you have a passkey available for the website).

Given Sign in With Apple doesn't by default give away customer information anyway, Apple should just move the SIWA button to trigger passkey flow instead.

He actually talks about this in his book, democracy already existed before newspapers became big (or even existed). People got informed through books, pamphlets, essays, debates and public gatherings. Now, some articles do inform the people more, one of the big examples is Watergate. But the difference in quality and research between the Watergate articles and the daily news is immense. Most political news-articles are nothing more than copy-pastes from what a politician sends to the writer and newspapers aren't the only medium where investigative journalism can exist. In my home-country a one-man journalist published some big scandals on his blog which showcased some unsavory corruption in one of our cities, all the big newspapers could only report what he already said, they had zero investigation themselves.

The other part is, do daily newspapers really inform you? Do they follow up the promises of candidates? Do they analyze effects of laws? Do they give you a neutral view of the situation?

Democracy can work fine without newspapers, maybe even better. Politicians in my country focus mostly to solve small fires without addressing the problems underneath it as those get them in the news but the big problems with complex solutions don't give them the same return of visibility in the papers versus the work required to fix it.
It's hard to get complex systems correct. There's far less margin for error when you get a hardware design wrong. Correcting a Python software mistake is orders of magnitude easier and cheaper to resolve, it doesn't cost multiple billions and take 6 months to iterate. You might consider the hardware design harder in that respect.

Isn't this why Tictacs are "zero calories" because the serving size is one Tictac and it's so small that the nutritional values round down to zero :D

While actually it's basically 100% sugar.
The problem and hypocrisy is that saying "only men allowed" will get you tarred and feathered, while saying "only women allowed" will get you showered with praise about how courageous and bold you are.

Now, what was that about gender equality again?
Sometimes I buy sugar free corn flakes and although they should be cheaper theoretically, in reality they cost a multiple of the super sugary flakes. It would be great if we could get more products that aren’t sweetened when you buy them. Like corn flakes, cereal, bread, chocolate milk and lot of others.

2 days ago I saw someone on HN saying to add a credit card to oracle cos they will suspend you for using the free tier without warning. Seems like using oracle is just risky in general.
Two points here. One - the burden of proof lies on the accuser, obviously. Two - this has apparently never been tested in court.
> they might glance at the nutritional label, and see that the sugars are only 7.5% and think: that's pretty good, I'll have one, not seeing the 100 ml gotcha. [Basic level duplicity]

> The only thing that will alert you is the cloying sweetness of the drink which will cause you to pull out a calculator and see what that small bottle is going to really cause.

Not sure I understand this point. Something that is 7.5% sugar will taste the same whether you drink 100ml of it or 2l. There are definitely problems with the concept that a serving from a 330ml bottle is 250ml - that is clearly meant to deceive. But if you have some concept of how much sugar is too much for your taste, the 7.5% sugar figure is enough.
A bottle of Coca-Cola used to be six fluid ounces (about 170 ml), and a McDonald's single serving was once about seven fluid ounces.

Maybe nobody drinks half of a modern 500ml bottle, but people certainly used to think of less than half of that as a single serving.

Each of those three words was already a Welsh word - clearly Welsh already has words meaning “density”, “function”, and “theory” - so it seems the innovation is combining them in a new sense rather than making up new words as such.
It's still compelled speech. It's possible that you think commercial communications are a special case, but I and many others do not, and find it just as reprehensible as any other form of compelled speech.

What other sorts of solutions are possible other than forcing people to put things on their packaging that they don't want there?
The same policy was applied in Chile and it had an impact on the consumption of sugary drinks and most importantly sugary breakfast cereals which all ran on a "we are so healthy and the best way to start the day" platform; while actually being full of sugar and fats.

So I would say if what you want is for people to eat less of a certain food, it works. It's not ridiculous.

Warm-Ups in Email Marketing: A Prelude
they're executable blog posts. kinda.
Many years ago, the FDA tried to pass a rule that that nutrition labels should have either a red, yellow or green border.

The idea being, you could eg. tell your kid that they can have any cereal as long as the border is yellow, and have to mix it with one whose label is green.

The black "BAD" labels are not as effective, they desensitize to BAD, and if all sweets are BAD you just ignore the label (though they do help some, according to data from Israel which implemented such labels a few years ago).

The color codes (not as direct, but even more universally recognized) and the chance for a middle level is a better system. And they could put Allulose in that level, for a compromise that has a better chance of passing.

That plan was lobbied to death; no surprise.

Metal allows you to present surfaces at exact times. You have access to the display refresh timing information and it's your job to synchronise your drawing rate to (potentially variable) display presentation interval. Vulkan presentation modes are workarounds over the fact that Vulkan provides no fine-grained control over presentation intervals.

There is the VK_GOOGLE_display_timing extension that provides functionality similar to Metal, but it doesn't seem like it's well supported on desktop. The equivalent official extension seems to be stuck in limbo somewhere.

This is a grocery store and grocery distribution consolidation/duopoly/monopoly problem, which is a separate issue than the food that is sold.

This is actually one reason I love FBA - I can buy all sorts of small brand specialty health foods from Amazon, bypassing what the local stores choose to stock (or, more often, not stock).

Amazon's anticompetitive practices mean this will become harder in the future however, as they will use this sales and pricing and customer data directly against any mom and pop product that becomes sufficiently successful.

We really need better protections for small businesses that sell via giant online platforms. There is no shortage of healthy, tasty food, people who want to sell it, or people who want to buy it.
Still cloud is better after all. 32GB is enough for all digital device and shooting 8k videos for 1000 centuries. No one should make backups. Storage expansion especially SD card must not be allowed on phone, tablet and laptop. Local storage is not secure and adding sd card to phone will introduce water leak. Meanwhile SIM card slot do not introduce water leak because obviously there is magic. Also SD slot is waste of internal space. You might ask why tablet is big as hell but still no SD card slot. Because those extra space is for storing mana to dispel water while adding the cloud subscription debuff to the users. Magic protect our phones from water, bullet, brick, bad OTA update, damage of USB port, lack of OTG functionality, USB2.0 transfer rate, terrible MTP interface, eavesdroping from wireless, etc.

(1) it's not speech. (2) it's not political. (3) it is essential information for consumers that manufacturers have routinely lied about in the past. (4) it is already a compromise between what manufacturers would like and what 'the people' (you know, those pesky voters and their representatives) actually need. And finally (5) corporations already have outsized power, to carry their water to the point that you believe that documents a few hundred years old should be interpreted in the most literal way possible so that they can have even more power is not rational.
Classic, thanks a lot!
It depends. "they can" is doing a lot of work in the original claim.

If A, B and C are the companies involved, with respective pay rates of 175k, 200k and 300k, it's still going to be better for the recruiter to try you at all three, because that is very little extra work for the commission involved.

However, if B is more circumspect about hiring and always takes a month to make a decision while always A comes back with "go/no-go" in 2 days, then its better for the recruiter to take the 1.75k commission and move on to the next candidate, rather than hold out a month for a $2k commission that may not happen while the 1.75k commission is lost because A has a quick turnaround time. In order for them to do this, they have to mislead you about your chances with B, or have to completely hide the option of B from you, because they know that you, personally, would hold out a month for an extra 25k.

Business and sales is all about cashflow. It's better to conclude your business today with a profit of $1.75k rather than in a month with $2k.

As far as the $3k commission goes, the recruiter is almost definitely not going to wait a month either, unless, in their experience, you're so far and beyond the best candidate for that position that it's a slam dunk. That is highly unlikely.

That's why there need to be strict rules on that. In the EU, serving sizes make sense (1 cookie or 2 slices of bread) (probably because they have to), and there always has to be the normalised by 100ml / 100g too, so you can compare even if serving sizes are lying.
