Happy hacking,
I'm curious as to why he would think that's a good idea. It's clearly designed for simple kinds of access patterns with user-edited documents.
One MACE and all drones in 3-mile range are effectively negated.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rr7ym1zkda8

Cheap bullets firing airburst rounds effectively negate drones in a close range. The issue with MACE is that it remains vulnerable to helicopters and other more advanced weapons. Etc. etc.

-----------------

But that's... fine. Its war. Each weapon has a cheap-and-effective counter. If you know what the opponent is bringing to the frontlines, you can kill them easily.

Your argument style is fundamentally flawed. You're arguing about counter-weapons as if they're the main threat. You should instead be discussing the capability the tank brings to the frontlines.

* Immunity to all small arms fire.

* Immunity to anti-personel mines (and I've seen plenty of Leopards clearing up anti-personel mines by just rolling over them, providing highways for infantry to travel through later).

* High-power gun that kills a vehicle every 6 seconds

* Advanced therman and night-vision sensors enabling accurate 3mile or 5km shots.

* Resistance to artillery: infantry die to shells that are within 100m of them. Tanks require a more-direct hit, closer to ~5m instead. This forces inaccurate enemy artillery to expend far more shells to kill a tank rather than a group of infantry.

--------

Tanks have always been vulnerable to airplanes, helicopters, and now drones. That's never changed in their 100+ years of use and history. Taking to the skies is the tank's greatest weakness. But against any ground thread (including against lesser tanks), the tank reigns as the supreme anti-ground unit in the world.

-------

Just because tanks negate AK-47 or other small arms fire doesn't mean that the AK-47 is useless. It just means that you've complicated the frontlines and have forced the enemy to bring multiple weapons to the frontlines to combat effectively. The more weapons you force the enemy to carry, the better. IE: Combined Arms combat.

You bring soldiers (who lose to snipers / AK-47s). You bring light-armor, that defeats those. You bring medium vehicles (like IFVs) to defeat the lighter-vehicles. You bring tanks to defeat the medium vehicles. You bring air-assets (helicopters) to defeat tanks. You bring jets to defeat the helicopters. You bring artillery to defeat different bits. Etc. etc. etc.
Probably something like 200 or 100m. The higher frequencies don't start opening up until the late 20s.
Technically speaking, it's a JavaScript library used for interacting with EVM blockchains.

Practically speaking, people use the term to mean just about whatever they want nowadays. Often it's used as a generic buzzword to sell products on some vague idea of a better, more equitable internet.

Which is the equivalent of a fast-forward merge. Same result, different mechanism.
The HTML5 spec does not take a stance on how the words "tag" and "element" should be used in day-to-day speech or in other projects, it just distinguishes them for the purpose of the spec. A specification has to be very precise in its wording, but that doesn't mean we all do all the time.
Many here see only problems with her technical videos, but what I find is that after initially talking about and criticising research in her areas of expertise it is very obvious she became popular with a certain "anti-scientific establishment" (for lack of a better word) crowd and now really peddles to that audience.

In the process she has diverted from topics she knows to scientific areas where she has at best a undergraduate level understanding but still talks like she is a subject expert and always taking a contrarian stance. After seeing videos where I have significant expertise where she was clearly wrong (and again peddling the "anti-establishment" angle) I stopped watching. That she is now making videos about capitalism and other social science topics just illustrates the point.
That aside from the tz name, it looks like regular time in a regular timezone (where you or the other person recides), so it's equally easy to confuse.

"Oh, you meant 11:00 UTC, not 11:00 Berlin time, ooops!".
> No, nobody is using it because it is off by default and buried in settings.

I’m using it. And I’m perfectly okay with this being the default behaviour.
That doesn't fix the main problems with the iPhone:

1. Excessive tie-in of software to hardware.

2. Closed-spec hardware.

3. Closed-source software.

4. Too expensive for the vast majority of smartphone users to buy

5. Apple spies on you for the US government in various ways (Snowden revelations, should assume this is likely today as well)

6. Planned-obsolescence tricks by Apple like artificial slowdown over time (e.g. https://www.techradar.com/news/apple-might-be-slowing-down-y...)

And I'm probably missing other things. Weren't there suicides at that Foxconn plant which manufactures iPhone parts? Maybe I'm misremembering.
Is it even possible to locally backup everything to the same fidelity as the Cloud? Apple (for your protection, naturally) seemingly locks you out of much of your own data.
have been into Spiritualism for some bizarre reason

Most religions have afterlifes, and that implies some kind of spiritualism. And a mere 50+ years ago, Christianity was almost universally accepted in the West.
yea, living near an us overseas base, you gotta be careful with questions about their $dayjob
While the camera sales are dwindling down, the really dying categories are old compact cameras, which already have similar image quality to phones.

APS-C and Full Frame systems cater to specific audiences, and they go strong. Sony has VLogging specific APS-C systems for example, and they are way better than phones.

Also, you don't have to be a "Photo Gear Head(TM)" to buy a nice kit for yourself. A couple of good primes is more than enough for most photography.

While I take a lot of photos with my phone, you can't beat a proper camera with a good sensor and good optics.

So... not open source, but pretending to be.
30 hz 4k with shitty USB-C dongles is a terrible experience
Reading those comments I think this is a tale of two cities.

City one here several corporate developers can see how a raw and crystalline feedback from the user is: attention and money. no fluff, no Hippo, no assumptions of what a customer is. Well done an we salute you.

Another city has people that is tired with that renaissance of this dollar-menu version of the hustle culture, that as a stubborn Phoenix always reappears and now fuelled with social attention.

And here I am not talking about people doing important things to the world, but my message is for the several clout chasers from Twitter that their “product” is selling courses to build products, how to hustle and show stats in social media, and generate twitter impressions as “qualified leads”.
Latency lost can never be recovered or never be parallelized.
More like “not your merge tool, not your merge preference” I guess?
Generally when the debtor goes into bankruptcy they give up the asset. Some other 'wealthy' person buys up the for pennies on the dollar. So while a particular rich person loses, in general the wealthy come out ahead.
That does not make sense to me.

AS far as i know, both the standard model and the higgs boson are proven. Why would you caveat that predictions cannot be made, by taking out the Higgs Boson ?

The analogy to what Russ Robers is making, is equivalent to her saying: "take radioactivity out of chemistry" "AHA! Now since atoms can't decay, then you cannot get certain elements, so now i can conclude that the periodic table is crap! it can't make predictions about atom size!"

Why ?
Not saying I support her views especially if they are hateful in any way, but disappointing/erroneous according to who/what?
Tbh, that’s only true for some people depending on their learning style. I never found notes helpful. I found virtual aids helpful, as I focused on listening and imagining questions and the topic in class rather than transcription of the words. The virtual aids provided the later reference material, which was much more useful since I had focused on understanding vs rote retention of language.

However some people definitely find note taking to help. But those people definitely seem to see a homogenous world and are fairly forceful in insisting their way works for everyone.
NB: Fresh Air has an excellent archive site: <https://freshairarchive.org/>

Simmons: <https://freshairarchive.org/guests/gene-simmons> (2004-2-4)

O'Reilly: <https://freshairarchive.org/segments/bill-oreilly> (2003-10-8)

Though I'd argue there are many much-better interviews. Those two are instances of combative subjects, well-handled IMO. Total archive has > 20k segments.
You could certainly use Postgres for everything. Zep does. But then you'd also have to build the stuff that Zep does, too.
x4, but I'd put an asterisk that tech choice matters in as much as how fast it allows you to go - something like PHP or Rails or Phoenix app with batteries included and deployed by hand on a single Linode instance, beats a fancy new TypeScript GraphQL Kubernetes stack on time-to-market any time of the day.
I would recommend 2D semantic HTML documents (using a table), and no, HTML tables are not harmful (https://webaim.org/techniques/tables/ with a real life example https://iroiro.neocities.org/ ). People with visual impairment can still navigate easily (see webaim page above) with screen readers.

If you want to browse openstreetmap (have an instance on my home server with my email): https://www.rocketgit.com/user/sylware/lnanohtmltiledmap (could be used as a base).
> What's the deal with the snails?

Perhaps simply that snails have high area of contact w/ the soil, eating various things found there or just above, and have soft bodies to boot.

Read: potentially easy carriers for larvae like these.

The rats, or that some people like to eat snails, are just 'coincidence'.
I talked to Pavel about taking a role in my team earlier this year (I ended up leaving Microsoft myself since). He was passionate about making the developer experience excellent - code quality, clean APIs, etc. Thats a tall order for some parts of Microsoft with 30+-year old codebases. He mentioned he was interested in rockets so I hope he found a gig doing that.
Its why having an EV hookup is so funny: your house is now a tiny percentage of your power bill/load dimensioning.

Also why I'd really like to have my car battery be usable by the house: storing solar or winter/night consumption all require a battery. You'll never need a bigger one for your house than the one already in your EV.
People use it as an all encompassing term for any blockchain using service or product.

Skynet Failure
Having kids is a great way to lower the barrier. As a parent with autism ('introvert') it is also a great way to overstep my boundaries. Like, I have to, even if I don't want to. My secret weapons are smiling and talking to my kid.
There will still be a market for premium audiobooks with an engaging narrator.

This will help fill the gap for books that would never have an audiobook, or for people that never would have paid anyway (so they aren’t lost customers).
If the regulations are arbitrary and pointless of course.

OTH if they for instance increase safety longterm you might expect demand for air travel to increase.

You can tour a few decommissioned or training missile silos in the US: https://www.afmissileers.org/Tour-a-Missile-Silo

I've been inside the trainer silo at Ellsworth Air Force Base as part of a visit to the South Dakota Air & Space Museum. It's a fascinating and eerie experience, especially because there is actually an inert missile still in the silo.

you might store the git repo on a Dropbox folder (not a good idea in general, afaik clouds aren't reliable enough for git, but as a backup), this way git content can't be corrupted by iCloud?

Or maybe even locally if you don't need to commit on other computers, then you'll be certain that git is correct without any cloud intervention
This is step 1. Bark already has some models which try to match the tone to what's written.

We'll get there.
Where is there a legal requirement to stay in your assigned seat? I've switched seats with people plenty of times on airplanes, or simply moved into empty rows. If you want to switch you can simply ask. (That is, if you're not afraid to talk to strangers!)
Innovation is not something we do in isolation. We build on the work of others. That means we need to study what others have tried. Your contribution will be layered on top of the work they have done. It can be tricky to both put yourself in the shoes of another in order to understand their work, concerns, and motivations while maintaining space for one's own ideas, approaches, and goals.
Had something similar occurring with my phone when Notes - and only Notes - somehow lost its ability to sync with iCloud (silently, of course.)
When it eventually got back in touch with iCloud, five weeks' worth of notes were obliterated from my phone.
But doesn’t that conflict with this articles complaint: version conflicts?

Much easier to handle version conflicts if the file isn’t a black box.
Red Hat did no such thing, they are completely in compliance with GPL. Customers who pay for RHEL get the source code just like the GPL intended. It's within their right to stop selling you future RHEL licenses for re-distributing this and it's not even remotely morally wrong. No normal person was affected by this, just freeloaders like Oracle and other downstream people who wanted RHEL without paying for it and set up a whole automated system to keep an identical clone.

Just because you're annoyed they put some roadblocks for freeloaders, doesn't mean you get to distort facts.
We may get back there but the 2005-2020 era just ruined everything for a while. The game of monetizing eyeballs became too lucrative for too many low quality content farms. That has to unwind and consumers have to recognize value again. For now, whoever runs the most aggressive ads for the most people will get the most resources.

For reference, I work at a smallish media company doing high quality news and content. We have a small and strapped sales team. They sell what they can but the buyers have the same conundrum. They aren't all looking for partners when they can just buy traffic at predictable prices and put their faith in brand safety tools. They want to maximize their efficiency of their ad spend and that usually doesn't involve looking for partners and relationships when they can just click a button and get more views. The result is that we've been hit by malicious ads more than once.
If you did what I'm thinking of, you could have just turned sync back on and all the notes would have reappeared.
Apart from Pake, all that applies to Resilio, which I'm pretty sure has a bigger uptake than the rest combined.
I live in a small mountain town now, and it's unthinkable you would walk past someone on the sidewalk and not say hi.
I can cook food without an oven but that doesn't mean I'd prefer to use a fire. It's much more convenient to press some buttons and have heat.
>Don't use non-e2ee services.

>(Yes, there is an opt-in e2ee for iCloud now. No, nobody is using it because it is off by default and buried in settings.)

These are contradictory statements. It IS e2ee. I can easily convince friends and family to click through two menus to enable it. I can't easily convince my friends and family to go through the effort of installing syncthing on multiple devices and then go through with the configuration of them.

It's great you're a syncthing advocate, but telling people that icloud drive is bad just because they don't enable a setting that could cause an average user to lose all of their data if they lose the key is a little ridiculous. I GUARANTEE YOU that your grandmother would MUCH rather be able to call Apple to get her pictures of little johnny back when she forgets her password than have it "more secure by default".
He tends to not comment on postings that are directly about D. You can make what you will of that.
Honest criticism is undervalued. I think the zedshaw take isn't exactly wrong either.

Seems to be a slightly different category from CmdrTaco's infamous take on the iPod ('No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame') but that wasn't entirely wrong either.

I'm not quite as critical of HN, but I concur that allowing deletion whenever would be a positive change.
They're expensive, too. At least when epicurious ran a similar article, they also recommended wide-mouth ball jars.

The biggest problem for me is cabinet space. The jars don't stack compactly, and the glass lock tend to live up to their name if you try to stack them.
> "I like climate but I don't want to bear that cost and reduce my standard of living."

Living with "fire season" and months of haze each summer has already reduced my standard of living.
Is there a 4th bucket of people who are so eager to pigeonhole ideologies instead of reading that it makes them functionally illiterate? Or are we done at three buckets?
iCloud lost some of my files as well and I never found out what caused it. I store my tax related documents in a folder per tax year. I only ever change this year's tax folder. The folders for previous tax years are frozen for obvious reasons. And yet when I ran find to look for empty folders some of those old tax folders were empty.

I had backups, so the files are not actually gone, but my trust in iCloud Drive is.
For me, keypress latency. I've used xterm for so long that whenever I end up in gnome-terminal, there's just enough delay that it throws me off while typing.

And yeah I find it kind of funny this post is by a gnome developer when gnome-terminal is my main example for this.
No one is friendly in urban areas because you are getting accosted / hustled so often. If a stranger tries to talk to me I have to give an ocular pat down and risk assessment before engaging beyond a skeptical glance.
I imagine this will sit where the LibriVox recordings did before. "Good enough" to cover the vast amount of works that never received studio treatment, but not anything that will ever replace a human at the high end. Even if the likeness is absolutely perfect, people will still prefer to know they are actually listening to their favorite actor.
The PNW can get to talking eventually but it’s like pulling teeth before it catches.

Maybe a better analogy is starting a lawnmower.
> Even these regulations can increase prices, for example by driving market consolidation or reducing price transparency

Or (as they occasionally do) they can achieve the complete opposite. Making such an argument (from both sides) completely worthless without additional context.
What an odd time to be alive. We've eliminated most of the obvious and immediate causes of death, and are left with health warnings for actions that are increasingly difficult to correlate with harms.
It's meant to be a joke
So they rolled back the most abusive aspects of the new fees but are still going forward with some fees...

Seems like they win on the end.

Looks to me like the good old strategy of we'll start with a very high proposal then come back with a more watered down version thst people will accept as being more reasonnable than the initial terms. But they still get to charge more and seem reasonnable doing so.
Show HN: Basketball Play Designer
In a company hackathon this weekend, I thought it would be fun to build a basketball play designer. Essentially, you enter some information about the type of play you want, and it generates a play following these requirements.
I was imagining it might be useful for stuff like:
1. Designing personalized plays for first-time coaches: "Give me a play that gets my shooting guard an open three-pointer. My shooting guard shoots the best from the right wing, and my point guard has a weak left hand. My center sets great screens, so have my center set an off-ball screen for my shooting guard."
2. Brainstorming novel plays for long-time coaches: "Generate a novel play out of the UCLA set."
It is loaded in with an example play, so make sure to hit the buttons to generate new plays with the entered information. The animation generation is based on the play-by-play and is a bit finicky, so you can try to generate new play-by-plays/animations if the first ones don't work well. It's still a bit rough around the edges, but I'd love to know what people think!
> PS I also learned that Apple techs can essentially "VNC" into your phone and view things, change settings etc.

I'd love to be able to do that too when troubleshooting my mom's iPhone over a voice call (or trying to).
> To say it more flippantly, this is why Drew is a billionaire and BrandonM is not

Seems a bit mean-spirited, and I'm not sure I like the implied value assumptions. I expect there are other important reasons as well including connections, timing, luck, etc.
I mean during a refactoring.

I don't know how much of this applies to Electric Clojure, mind you, that's only my experience from Opa.
