The video goes very much into detail about what's wrong with the way Avi Loeb does science. In one instance they charter a ship to go to the middle of the ocean to sink a big magnet to the ground, the objective being to collect fragments from another suspected extra-solar meteorite. They did manage to drag up sub-millimeter spherules which they then test for properties. They claim the properties do not match any material used by mankind, and therefore,

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>!!!!!!!!!!!! ALIENS !!!!!!!!!!!!!<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I mean, yeah, like... really? What kind of jumping to conclusions is this? Comments an astronomer how questionable it is the material is from that specific asteroid in the first place. Space stuff has been raining down into the atmosphere and the seven seas continuously for billions of years, right. Also, how exact can an estimate of the point of entry into ocean be given it happened in the middle of nowhere? There also currents and so on. But of course because it was Mr Loeb who had the idea of course he will find, well, something and of course it's ALIENS.
I don't see the point personally. I don't feel like this is something you'd want to do often, and it's not like the current way to do it is that much harder. This seems to just complicate things with hardly any benefit.

This is more “steam remains a crappy app we’re still forced to use for the vast majority of games”.

After multiple years it’s still an intel binary on Mac, despite being a chrome wrapper and the Mac games in the catalogue all being native binaries at this point.

I would assume if not for the 64bit transition it would still be i386 on Mac as well.
The problem is that decisions can only be made with respect to some quality metric, and deciding what that should be cannot be delegated. Only you can know what you want.
No, but I'd prefer not to have to deal with more and more extreme weather events, increased sea levels, etc.
The planet will survive, we as a species probably too, but it's going to get shittier for many of us.

> is absolutely not enough for substantiative, human-scalable development

you'll have to elaborate there. we have a pretty large codebase at this point that serves 3 different apps. granted our engineering staff is small but thats exactly what makes elxiir so great. It lets you build scalable infrastructure with a small team of humans

> most Elixir-in-anger systems I've seen end up abandoning much of the benefit of BEAM clustering and running a bunch of horizontally scaled web applications because they've got containers to manage and it fits the overall get-it-out-the-door plan better.

containers and clustering are not mutually exclusive. we run a elxiir cluster and take advantage of that with shared data and the ability to send mesages between each machine in pure elixir. At the same time, each vm is running inside a docker container managed with kubernetes. they work well together. we had one instance where a vm went down and kubernetes immediately brought it back up followed with it connecting to its peers.
We did a lot of loop unrolling and self modifying code back in the day, when making demos for the C64. The branch is really expensive. For example, clearing the screen you might use 16 STA adr,x and then add 16 to X before you branch to the loop.
> Music is not really a language, despite all the theoretical attempts

I always liken it to a language, but not in any formal ("theoretical") way. Rather, in the sense of: it conveys meaning and emotion, but if you're not fluent in the genre then it will be essentially nonsense.

Like the first time listening to Charlie Parker, I thought it sounded cool but it was just a blob of notes. And then the first time with Coltrane's solo work, it was again a flurry of nonsense until I listened enough.
I no longer believe in Content Design
Same issue of "honesty" with afforestation-based credits. A ton of carbon removed during the growth of a new tree is not equivalent to a ton of carbon already removed today.

However, as these types of projects actually do remove carbon, one could probably compute an adjustment factor and purchase additional credits to achieve an "honest" offset.
I think it really comes to what is common in place and what is not. Like Detroit had plenty of homes. And many of them were left to rot. As they had no value or even negative value.

It is same all around the world in these dying communities. They might be exotic from outside, but there is just too many of them in those places.
To be fair, IMO this is probably the least foolhardy thing that Twitter has talked about doing in a _while_.

I can't imagine it'll be a huge success, but at least it's a feature _someone_ could want to use.

I'm the OP and wanted to clarify in case you missed some points - it is a legacy application which does not have any active dev teams on it and needs only developers attention when Google says so and as mentioned by multiple other commenters here the first time I got that e-mail from Google, was at 18th of August. I would not agree that I have been lazy, but instead trying to solve this problem in the time-constraints set by Google and failing to do so because of the inability to put a fix to production and/or pull back current release version. Of course I admit that there's always ways to improve quality assurance.

There has been zero communication towards me from Google until two weeks until deadline. Yes, maybe if I would have logged into Play Console then there might have been some notifications, but there have been no reason to do so until that e-mail (I'm usually not involved with Android projects, otherwise I might have noticed similar warnings via other projects early on).
That's what's pretty great about PWAs:

1. For people like you that don't want to install them, they're just a normal website.

2. For people that do want to install them for the added functionality (things like notifications), then it is easy to install, and furthermore cheaper for developers to build and maintain (one codebase instead of multiple).

You say "you have no desire to have an app", but I think for most people that's really dependent on the site/application. Yeah, for any site I just have a short term or infrequent transaction, I don't want an app either. But many/most people use apps for businesses they have long term relationships with (namely financial institutions).
This capability is mostly open source already isn’t it? Granted the AI isn’t fancy but it’d be reasonably trivial to adapt some foamboard or cardboard designs to carry a small payload and turn them into GPS guided bombs. Probably doesn’t happen often more due to it being substantially easier to do what people inclined towards this action want another way.
No, but our quality of life sure will (and already has for some people)
That's not even that bad if you have a hot air gun and a reball kit. What's worse is the flash chips having some kind of cryptographic identifier that locks them to the machine, so you couldn't replace the flash if you wanted to.

When they introduced extraterritorial jurisdiction for blasphemy for saying anything positive about Ahmadiyyas where was Pakistan populace complaining then? All this stuff was tried out on them first and no one cared because they were “wajib-ul-qatl”. I wasn’t born in Pak and haven’t even been there in a decade and I could have FIR filed against me for saying something on Facebook without setting foot in Pakistan.

Now this routine has been extended to any PTI supporter overseas criticizing what happened to Imran.
The majority here are begging for the latter since last year. But it should have 'died' last year November as almost everyone here (incorrectly) predicted.

So they are just very angry that Twitter / X didn't 'die' as they expected or didn't die fast enough, so they are eternally still coping for the worst.

But at this point, they should just realise that these articles are essentially click farming for their attention for Twitter / X 's so called 'doom'.
Or perhaps they're doing exactly their job but their job is not actually what it purports to be. It seems a bit like a modern-day version of indulgences.

While that may be tragic, it still is the intentional effect and hardly a mistake. Apple focusing on its $250B iPhone market over its < $50B Mac market very much makes sense. When they removed 32 bit support we might have guessed at Apple Silicon on the desktop, and lo and behold that did come to pass. The Intel to ARM transition was much smoother than the PowerPC to Intel move in part because of 2 vs 4 versions in the Universal Binaries. I am going to go out on a limb here and say that Apple was also aware of ARMs forthcoming complete removal of AArch32.

Isn't this a one-time payment up front?
You can mix 32- and 64-bit code in a 64-bit process on both Linux and macOS (since 10.15), and this is what Wine uses.

It works by setting a LDT with a 32-bit code segment and then doing a far/long cross-segment jump to the 32-bit segment. 32-bit code runs, and it jumps back to the 64-bit segment for Nt* “syscalls”, Unix lib calls, and signals.
Tokyo is extremely dense and land is very expensive. The mountainous rural backblocks that contain these abandoned properties is not, and land is essentially worthless or negative value: it has no productive use, but you still need to pay taxes.

This is in fact a big reason why Japan has a big problem with abandoned rural property: there is no incentive for next of kin to sort out the inheritance paperwork, and then it's left in limbo.
Maybe I've been writing boring code, but I haven't run across this problem all that often.

This is true but like with any build there are many decisions to make. We have settled on this stack for our API's and we think others will find it useful.
That's assuming the afforestation is even helpful and not one of the various examples of incentives for planting trees leading to work that's actually doing more harm than good.

Don't write your own CMS!
My MacBook Pro (2015, 15 inch) started having some SSD issues earlier this year after a bit more than seven years of heavy use, but it does seem to be partially mechanical because it would mostly happen after it had been in my bag.

Since I bought an M2 Pro to replace it, it hasn’t had the issue I think because I’m just leaving it at home and not flexing or squeezing it much. Perhaps the issue could be fixed permanently and properly with a bit of hot air to re-flow the solder balls.
This doesn't seem like it would solve any real-world problems? Other than maybe hacking around in repl mode?
This would require dicts to be somewhat ordered, as explained by others here already.

Also I feel like this would violate `explicit is better than implicit` as per https://peps.python.org/pep-0020/ and would most certainly lead to extremely confusing/brittle code.

I'm somewhat surprised this was upvoted so much.
I have often wondered about how the balance of the 7 and 8 was struck. But I don't really want to think about it too deeply because it might break it!
Yes I think you’re right. I was talking about the standalone enter key, or you could also do some modifier and return. It has been a long time

One of the touted benefits of RSCs is actually colocation of code while avoiding waterfalls.

Naively, you can implement a component that fetches some data (eg, post) and renders. Some descendants may also need to fetch data and render it. But now you’re blocking the descendants from rendering until the first fetch completes, so you have a waterfall load that takes unnecessarily long.

An alternative has always been to fetch everything at the route/top level. But now it starts to feel a bit strange that your route component needs to know about everything its descendants need.

RSCs promise to allow you implement the former pattern which gives better maintainability without the performance hit of a waterfall since the entire render-fetch-data-render back and forth is done on the backend near your data.

I don't think it's a black-or-white thing. You weigh pros and cons. Linus can be a bit of a jerk but the Linux kernel is immensely useful to me, so I use it in spite of some misgivings. This software, on the other hand, is mostly a fun curiosity and the author is promoting actual genocide. So in this case I'll say no thanks.
You're absolutely right. On the other hand, really extensive meditation can have some very strange effects on sleeping and some other things, so I personally withhold judgement.

If nothing else, take into account the studies that said that the placebo effect can actually help about 30% of people -- even if they know it's a placebo. So I don't know. Things get weird quickly.

I mean, you pay property tax whether you live there or not. I don't know how this works in other states or other countries, but at least in New York a primary residence has tax advantages.

That said, I'm not sure what you do with a rich municipality that has no residents. You probably want the corner store to be open when you go out there for the winter for some reason, and with no customers, that's not an economic reality.
The most simple answer: start your own website/blog.

You can learn/practice how to create the site, write about whatever you want and make it as useful or useless as you feel like.
It's not base64 because of privacy, and using the snipping tool instead of just copying is not natural. Imagine opening a whole other program to copy some text you just highlighted.

Agreed.

My comment violates the HN guideline to "respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says" and I beg the op's pardon.

A low (or no) return investment in basic technology to help the disabled better express their intentions - for their own private uses - is an unalloyed good.

Of my two interpretations, I will set aside my initial, very cynical reaction and wait to see what actually comes from this.

They make a common mistake in the "Frequency" section in regards to passive operations: The examples are a "frequent" operation (syncing your changes up) and a "rare" operation (remote changes being synced down while you are working). Frequency of course is not the salient property here. The difference in UX is practical: The latter requires your explicit attention, while the former does not.

Well, the bloat has made many programs slower than they could be. Software is eating up the advances we get in hardware. Modern Word 365 is not any faster than Word 95 on a Pentium 66 in normal use. That is a ~100MHz computer with maybe 16MB RAM, and a rotating hard drive.

Bloat making software bigger will in many cases also make it slower.

Also, the UX on Windows 95 was consistent and easy to learn. Now, much software fail on stuff like disabling a button when you have clicked it and the computer is working.

MacOS is on a steady curve to the bottom. It is not alone.

The software bloat and decreasing quality is a serious issue.

> Taxes subsidize all the infrastructure for cars, even if the taxee doesn't drive, yet it isn't a service for everyone.

Gasoline taxes pay for a lot of road infrastructure; except for people buying gasoline for their lawn mowers and leaf blowers (not applicable in California), the taxes are being paid by folks using the infrastructure.

If no one in the household drives, they likely use taxis and delivery services, both of which depend upon road infrastructure.

I've never heard of a government bus service which paid for the general (not segregated) road infrastructure they use; if some do, I'd love to be corrected.

And bicyclists also use general road infrastructure.

Roads are broadly used by the people. Why shouldn't the people broadly pay for it?

> This always bugs me: why is `args` immutable (tuple) but `kwargs` mutable (dict)?

Because python didn’t (still doesn’t, but at this point even if it did backward compatibility would mean it wouldn’t be used for this purpose) have a basic immutable mapping type to use.

(Note, yes, MappingProxyType exists, but that’s a proxy without mutation operations, not a basic type, so it costs a level of indirection.)
My Bangladeshi immigrant boss (from Dhaka) in Portland a decade ago supported the BNP and was pretty vocal about it and about how pre-1971 Pakistan was a great country.

Then again, he also complained about dressing up on Diwali maybe turning his daughter Hindu so IDK

Edit: AFAIK (edited because I’m rate-limited for some reason) he did support independence or was at least reconciled to it but was nostalgic for the unified country.
Hard disagree. The reason why Lua can have this is because of the ergonomics of its table datatype. The table is used for both list-like and dictionary-like usecases and has specific optimisations around iterating over integer keys in a table.

Python on the other hand has a clear separation between the two usecases as separate datatypes, so munging them like this would muddy the language.

I don't think there's anything revolutionary, just a lot of parts working very well in tandem:

- Multiple cameras per eye, and at a very short distance from your eye

- The screen is fixed relative to the cameras for all devices, there's no worry about that half of the equation getting off calibration or differing for every customer

- OS is built around eye tracking, which means there won't be any actions that are unnaturally hard to perform with eye tracking
Yes, with some work: https://mazzo.li/posts/fast-pipes.html
I understand that, but it also causes more honest, valuable feedback given. Organizations can decide if the benefits outweigh the negatives, and in the case of the projects in the article, they decided that low barrier of entry is overall beneficial.
Krzysztof Penderecki is also on the list of revolutionary but unlistenable.
At the end of the day people sitting in Pakistan took the final decision. This wasn’t the CIA going in there with guns.
