The airport isn't a great example here. There are 3 lines because there are 2 different parties involved: the TSA, which has authority over the security checkpoint, and the airport/airlines, which have authority over the lines leading up to the checkpoint.

The regular line is self explanatory. Precheck is solely run by the TSA, and they politely ask the airports to set up dedicated lines for precheck. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. Until passengers are in the checkpoint though (i.e. beyond the id check), the TSA has fairly limited authority. The airport is ultimately responsible for getting passengers to the security checkpoint, subject to some minor conditions by the TSA. Clear pays the airport/airlines a kickback from the subscriptions to let their agents manage the queues, which includes putting their subscribers in front of the other lines. One thing they can't do is give you special perks inside the checkpoint like precheck does.

So, 3 lines because 2 different parties get revenue from one each.

OH MY GOD YES THANK YOU

Pasting is particularly hellish because of what essentially amounts to a zero-width tap target. Then add in poorly designed third party apps changing the interface (looking at you microsoft) and it's a nightmare.
Talking about Julia, I've been toying around with https://github.com/AlgebraicJulia/Decapodes.jl, which uses geometric algebra/discrete exterior calculus to do physics simulations: think finite element methods, but with better theory behind it.
I completely agree with author's view of the issue. Text editing on iOS and android have always been an afterthought. I mean, how much time did it take for the iPhone to get Copy/Paste ?

The weirder part to me was that the iPad didn't bring much improvement on that front. Even with a bigger screen and "desktop class" application, text editing only barely works with a keyboard/touchpad attached. The only improvement has been on moving the text cursor, yet it's still a real pain to select random text in the middle of a page.

On the solution though .... I think we should really do something simpler than introduce new paradigms and further dig the "that's how we do it on mobile" well.

Just give people damn arrow keys and a crontrol key: let them put a cursor on the middle of the text they want, move the cursor with ultimate precision exactly where they want it, and shift select the text they need.

Android does the arrow part right, Windows' on screen keyboard does both right. It's incredible how liberating it is to just select text with the arrow keys, hit ctrl+C, crl+V it elsewhere and be done. That's really not that much to ask, Apple not doing anything in this front feels like sheer laziness at this point.
There's different ways to handle a failure.
As a bit of a GPD fanboi I have both a pocket 2 and a pocket max. When I was a server admin, pocket 2 went everywhere with me in a pelican case. That was just this side of too bulky to carry without noticing.

Pocket max in the pelican was just on the other side of that threshold.

The benefit of the pocket 2 is the full windows/linux installation alongside the usable qwerty keyboard.

This is a great observation and fact! I believe paradigm shifts are almost always missed by the masses. Right now we are in a digital revolution that has morphed into a social media shift. Hardware is too fast for most software, but when it catches up, the results could be mountainous.

I'm a senior citizen now who wishes the next paradigm, whatever it will be (Ai?), will happen so I can see it. As for me, happiness is what you make of it, if I want to be happy I have to work for it. When life sucks, I work back to happiness.
Maybe we can look at it as an opportunity for inventing a fundamentally different approach to text editing on mobile?

In another topic on HN people are discussing how software gets more bloated over time, because throwing more powerful hardware at a problem is easier than optimizing the software.

As mobile devices aren't likely to get much bigger or get equipped with a mouse and keyboard anytime soon -- in other words, we don't seem to have a hw solution -- isn't it the perfect moment to try something novel and different?

Sure, it isn't a given someone will come up with a great, new approach soon enough. Still seems worth it looking at this as an opportunity.

Agreeing and amplifying: Taking a random search result, the Canon EOS R5 has a 45 MP sensor: <https://www.usa.canon.com/shop/p/eos-r5?color=Black&type=New>

Assuming 24 bits per pixel, that's 1 Gigabit (128 MB) per image, or ~1,000 images on 128 GB storage.

Dedicated cameras have removable storage and professional photographers will carry multiple 500 GB -- 1 TB+ storage cards, swapping them out through a shoot.

I'll note that the iPhone 15 Pro specs list a 48 MP sensor, which is similar, though storage tends to be as jpeg rather than raw. Compression varies but sizes of 1/2 to 1/15 RAW at high quality are common.

Edit: Corrected GB -> Gb. Bytes are 8 bits.

All the reactions I saw in the research paper use very simple compounds, like

NaH + HCl → NaCl + H2

2 CuCl + H2 → 2 Cu + 2 HCl

The interesting property of carbon is that it can be combined in a huge amount of ways. For example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Titan#Atmospheri... And some of the combinations are big to make weird reactions.

The original research is about some autocatalytic reactions, they are interesting, but there is no hint that they can create some complex structure that is alive.

Northwestern University's press-release (which one can find repeated verbatim across the web e.g. at phys.org) points at an open access (CC:BY) Astrophysical Journal page <https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/ace051>. Unfortunately IOP (the official online home for ApJ) occasionally has fits of "I'm really not sure you're a human, let's loop around until you get bored" that may affect HN readers in particular. The corresponding preprint, Kaaz, Liska et al. 2022, "Nozzle Shocks, Disk Tearing and Streamers Drive Rapiod Accretion in 3D GRMHD Simulations of Warped Thin Disks" can be found at <https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.10053>.

Each version is about fifteen pages including a substantial references section and many graphs and graphical depictions.

As several early commenters here have focused on the GR-MHD (general relativitistic magnetohydrodynamics) simulation basis, the second author is a well-known computational astrophysicist and leader of the software collaboration used in this paper and his site may be of interest: https://www.matthewliska.com/
I would think they wouldn’t just utilize the system so broadly or maliciously as you speculated. I have seen the government be reasonable with a public resource at least in US. Are there times when it is incorrectly used? Yes, but it is used far more reasonably than not.
While studying engineering I explicitly remember my classmates being weaker and stronger at different topics, and our study group would teach the thing they were strong at.

I had a really intuitive grasp of mechanics and dynamics and free body diagrams, others were much better than me at electrical engineering concepts, others again strong in fluid dynamics etc.

There’s definitely some variation in the things people are naturally able to grasp based on their past.

So initial exposure to a new topic for the same group of people, naturally some will take to it more easily than others.

I wouldn’t say it was a cut and dry as “learning styles” but some combination of the material and the way it is presented by the professor makes it digestible to varying degrees by students.

> found evidence suggesting he was innocent.

No, deciding to (not) call an expert witness to present a different theory (that conflicts with the rest of your defense claims) isn't "found evidence". It's strategy.

It's the same buyers remorse, no-true-scotsman argument. Case lost, therefore ineffective assistance.

The lawyer could have presented a different argument, but didn't. Convicted now wants to make a different argument on appeal.

'That injury shouldn't have killed her that quickly.' isn't new medical evidence. Just an argument not made.

'Also I forgot I saw a boy hit her with a pipe. It must have been that injury. Even though I just claimed the same time frame was impossible if I had hit her.' Isn't new evidence, just a new argument.

This is on top of him not allowing the mom to bring her to the hospital until the next day, after she was already dead. Eta: Oh yea, also on top of the admitted statutory rape stuff.

>where federal investigators found evidence suggesting he was innocent

No, they just decided (with the benefit of hindsight) that they would have used a different defense strategy.

That's not "found evidence suggesting he was innocent."

People say this, but FigJam or even Microsoft Whiteboard work fantastically for this if you've equipped your team with the right hardware. I often sit down with people and noodle through problems on an iPad (and for me at least the Pencil is required) with FigJam in a low-friction manner.

Poorly written device drivers are a significant attack vector. It's one of the reasons Linux is now exploring using Rust for its own device drivers.[0] You may be asking -- why Rust and not some other language? Rust has many of the performance and interoperability advantages of C and C++, but as noted, makes certain classes of memory safety issues impossible. Rust also has significant mindshare among systems programming communities.

Not that I keep up with the (largely junk) nutritional studies, but this blurb surprised me:

Code point semantics, not scalar value semantics which is what Unicode strings are supposed to be. That is, a Python string can contain surrogate code points, which cannot be encoded in any UTF-*:

>>> '\udead'.encode('utf-8')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
UnicodeEncodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't encode character '\udead' in position 0: surrogates not allowed
>>> '\udead'.encode('utf-16')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
UnicodeEncodeError: 'utf-16' codec can't encode character '\udead' in position 0: surrogates not allowed

(UTF-8 is a sequence of 8-bit code units, representing a sequence of Unicode scalar values.)

—⁂—

> For example, it wastes a lot of bits to make sure that a string can be decoded starting from an arbitrary byte offset.

If you ditch self-synchronisability and ASCII purity of extension by ditching the first two bits (“1-0”) on continuation bytes, you can encode some more briefly: roughly, U+0800–U+1FFF go from three-byte to two-byte, and U+10000–U+FFFFF go from four-byte to three-byte, leaving just U+100000–10FFFF as four-byte. But honestly the difference isn’t often that much (unlike UTF-16 → UTF-8, which roughly halves memory usage most of the time, commonly even saving when dealing with text that makes heavy use of other scripts that are more compact in UTF-16 than in UTF-8 since you commonly mix things in with ASCII markup), and if you’re really trying to shave memory, other techniques like compression are far more effective.

I love microoptimisation (and spent a large number of hours on my Casio GFX-9850GB PLUS, where having only 30KB of memory encouraged learning to shave single bytes here and there!), but there’s also a lot to be said for consistency. Yes, some purposes could have an encoding that is more efficient than UTF-8. But doing this complicates matters quite a bit, and I think we’re better off with just UTF-8.

Also I will note that the self-synchronising nature of UTF-8 is useful for some operations: you can scan through strings much more quickly that way. So it’s not pure waste as a memory representation.
That’s not the conservative ethos. Conservatives historically support the maintenance of what they see as natural or divinely ordained hierarchy, including via the power of the state.

Libertarians being called conservatives is a strange Cold War aberration emerging from their mutual opposition to authoritarian Marxism. Now that the USSR is gone and that type of Marxism is mostly very fringe, conservatives are reverting to their historical mean and kicking out libertarians. This is what national conservatism and to some extent MAGA is about.

And before Palm had a keyboard, it had Graffiti, which could share screen space with display.

It took a short period of training but was actually quite good. Far better than onscreen keyboards.

I wouldn't recommend Graffiti for, say, trying to access a Linux shell. But for writing text, and editing it, it was serviceable in ways that current touchscreen devices aren't.
Maybe for file handling in C++, but DirectX/HLSL is the best Graphics API I've worked with and C# is easily my favorite language to develop in. It's easy for us to talk shit about Win32 today, 30 years after it was initially developed, but there are myriad historical reasons why UTF-16 is used by Java, Windows, and other languages/runtime environments and why it's not simple to just break compatibility with decades of software running at hospitals and financial trading firms because the 32 year old armchair experts at HN said so.

According to wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Coded_Character_Set

> The UCS has over 1.1 million possible code points available for use/allocation, but only the first 65,536, which is the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP), had entered into common use before 2000. This situation began changing when the People's Republic of China (PRC) ruled in 2006 that all software sold in its jurisdiction would have to support GB 18030. This required software intended for sale in the PRC to move beyond the BMP.
Can't speak for everyone but it took me a decade of computer usage to even "fit" the delete key in my text editing workflow and getting used to reaching for it. I still don't use it much, and it doesn't help that it's hard to reach on laptops and not simply shift+backspace. I think of the delete key as a power-user feature.
Nope, no app store, no way of installing apps (other than rooting a device).

> Steam has seen the light

Valve took a look at how hard Steam Machines bombed, and tried again with Proton. They saw some companies anti-cheat rootkits weren't working, and didn't let that stop them from making all the other games work.

Valve saw the light over a decade ago. Hell, I'd argue they always saw Linux as second-class, but worth not completely ignoring or actively breaking.

This is a good point. I searched for "rename" today and the top result switched it to "name" instead. The TOP result completely changed the query. Infuriating.

I also love when my search is narrow enough that Google instead starts to return more generic pages for totally different programming languages instead of the smaller result set that matches exactly. It is very easy to observe as you explore a topic. At some point, you got a wall where any increase in search specificity seems to yield worse results than queries that helped you get to that point.
I think that's one downside to that kind of implementation. Computational performance and everything either requiring heap allocation or 2^n values, most of which which are zero are others problems.

My implementation generates a struct for each grade, even and odd grades (which perform transformations), and then a multivector type with everything. If you mistakenly add a scalar and a vector, you'll immediately see unexpected types in your inline type hints.

The downside to my approach is a combinatorial explosion in the number of types and operations between them. Anyone know a seamless way to do lazy code generation in Rust?
You're entitled to your opinion, but the use of the "-American" suffix here is consistent with how it is often used for immigrants, e.g. a Chinese person who immigrates to the US could be described as Chinese-American. Or just American. The demonym can reflect both ethnicity and citizenship. Identity is complicated.

Moreover, I don't even know what you mean by "roots." The US is a country of immigrants. What qualifies as having "American roots" in your view?

Psychedelics are not necessarily a feel-good, euphoric kind of drug. They will put you more in touch with reality, both external and internal. Ultimately, that's a good thing, but that's why set and setting are so important. And if you have past traumas that you haven't learned to face, psychedelics make those traumas a lot harder to avoid.
