It's an interesting topic and I agree with the conclusions. But I really dislike the testing methodology - the comparison photos have clearly different poses and people/animals moving around. I've done my own smartphone vs. DSLR image quality comparisons, and I photographed a static city skyline, and it made comparing and pointing out the differences much easier and more defensible.
It is not enabled by default? You need to log in with a GitHub or Microsoft account, install the remote dev extension, and then explicitly enable the feature on a per-machine basis (and yes, this can be done via the CLI, as the article mentions).

If you don’t know the feature set of the software you use, maybe don’t use the software instead of blaming the vendor.
Wow that is annoying, especially since any malloc is going to give you 8-byte aligned allocations anyways.
Note, those are generally meningitis symptoms, so that was already pretty solid anxiety fuel if you wanted something to worry about whenever your neck is stiff!
Wow. The cops have a lot of hubris if they assume this thing isn't going to go down in a hail of bullets and bat-blows.
I'm really glad you're aware and trying to get in control of the UX paper cuts that sum up quickly.

Telegram has been adding a ton of features during the last 5 years, all while keeping the core experience pretty much the same (fast and seamless). Whatsapp is also doing this.

With some UX Design chops, you should be able to do it.
Of course they would (much more free time to do actually productive tasks!) unless you’re assuming they will be losing the “dignity of work” or something like that.

My question is, why do people only worry about poor people not having the dignity of work? Shouldn’t we be more worried about all the children of the rich who will never need to earn a living? Shouldn’t we make them all do labor, for the good of their own souls?
I’ve been told by people I know of them being confiscated so it’s definitely something of a crap shoot.
They made something people want, the motto of this forum's accelerator, but when it's not something you'd want, then it's not "real hard work," apparently.
I find it interesting that many people lament crypto about lack of transparency and how we went through this and that and that's why we have these sort of regulations in the legacy banking system, etc.. etc.. The reality is that, these regulations mostly exist in the US (through credit card protection), and some in the EU. For the rest of the world, if you got your account siphoned, you are mostly on your own.

And about transparency: I have a debit card from an EU bank. It's barely usable because every time I need to make a purchase, it has to go through 3DS and 50/50 the transaction gets rejected. On POS in Asia, it's 80/20. So quite frustrating. Anyway, two months ago, I get a 60-70 EUR transaction on it from some merchant. Not sure how the scammer got the numbers (some shady POS in Thailand?) but the operation was via "an online interface" and there was no confirmation.

More bizarre: No one can tell me who exactly debited my card. Not even the bank itself has any idea who the merchant or his identity is. There you have it, a fully dysfunctional system and yet somehow it has become solid because a "less" secure one has lost some people some money.
Ah ok, some success is ok, some is not.
Ask HN: What tech blogs do you follow outside of HN ?
KDE still has this mentality, though they try to somewhat sweep it under the rug. Toolbars aren't overflowing anymore... usually. But the menus and dialogs still have those hundreds of options and it definitely gives a feeling that the developers can't commit to decisions themselves.

Really, KDE just has a maximalist philosophy. Shove everything into users' faces all at once because of all possible opinion variations.

Part of why I like GNOME is that it's the exact opposite: minimalism. The options it does offer tend to be the options you actually might want to tweak, and there's not many of them. (In the GUI anyway; GNOME still has lots of options available via dconf-editor/gsettings, basically the GNOME equivalent of the Windows Registry)

Thanks for sharing the information. It appears not only do they not have to be federally recognized to apply but they can also apply if they are a 501c3 corporation. I would like to see some nature restoration, tribal based or otherwise, and hope this resource is used properly.
I did some reading up on this, and found more detail about the "unrealistic API" surface (e.g. [1]), and I think I understand the problem at least as a surface level (and agree with the conclusions of the Rust team).

So then to tie this back to my earlier question - why does this make a difference between "async declared at function definition site" vs "async declared at function call site"?

Libraries have to be written against a specific async API (tokio vs async-std, to reference the linked Reddit thread) - that makes sense. But that doesn't change regardless of whether your code looks like `async fn foo() {...}` or `async foo();`. The compiler has ahead-of-time knowledge of both cases, as well...

I ditched all my cameras 5 years ago in favour of convenience. I’m a bit disappointed that the difference is still so large. I was convinced phones were going to approach crop sensor quality but it’s not even close, the 80D completely smoked it.

> There is a notable drawback for the iPhone 15 Pro Max in the 3X to 4.9X range (~72mm to 119mm full frame equivalent), as it’s stuck using the main sensor, rather than switching to the telephoto.

I’m super glad Apple couldn’t figure out the tech to get the 5x lens in the non-Max models. I make way more use of 3x than 5x. Cropping the main sensor up to 5x is a bad call IMHO. This is the equivalent of walking around with a 24mm and 120mm prime. Who’s doing that? MaxTech dropped a vid today and the 4.9x shot is atrocious; the 3-5x range is basically unusable on the 15 Pro Max models.
> Normally I'm all for blaming CGNAT for shitty internet issues, but Nintendo is at fault this time, and ISPs should rightly tell their customers to ask Nintendo to get its shit together. Even without CGNAT, STUN/TURN is important to get peer to peer connections working.

I agree with you, but it doesn't change reality... Nintendo doesn't give a fuck and (from hearsay) people with Nintendo Switches make up a huge proportion of service calls from customers that want CGNAT disabled and pay for a legitimate IP address.
> which they would be deprived of in a safer school environment with cameras?

My personal experience with bullies is that they will leverage the cameras to make their bullying even more effective. Most bullies work inside the system, and the worst ones are part of they system.
Thanks for that link. It’s cool that people are hacking on this thing. But my question should have ended with “from Bambu?”

This sentence from your link…

…means the answer is “no”. That the RFID system is meant to drive sales of their own inkjet cartri—er, I meant filament spools.

People have hacked the Keurig 2 coffee pod system, people have reverse-engineered Lexmark’s toner control system. Neither of those initiatives made me a more likely to purchase from Keurig or from Lexmark.

Tony & Chelsea Northrup just posted a video on a recent trip to Italy where they generally left their photo gear at home (taking only some 'token' equipment), and where generally not happy with the results. "My iPhone Camera FAILED me!":

Partly it's because while the 'computational photography' stuff can give good results, if you disable it, and go with a 'raw' format:

so you can do some later post-processing yourself, you're using the 'base' capabilities of a mediocre sensor and lens (compared to a 'real' camera).
Yes, probability of it surviving 14 days in Lunar Night at -200C was extremely low. India doesn't have Radioisotope batteries that work at this temp. It will also increase the payload size and will require larger launch infra. Not to mention all the material and chemical challenges faced at these temp.
Personally I don't like the color cast of the iphone images, but just as clearly it's good enough for most people. I still don't see phones replacing dedicated cameras for people that are serious, but that's more a matter of optics and form factor. Phones are terrible for shooting a stable image. OM-1 shows where I'd like to see larger sensor cameras go: high resolution image stacking, smart motion correction, etc.

I think iphones and similar phone cameras make sense for video in broad daylight if you're not too serious about it--no need for built-in ND filters, the stabilization is pretty good, especially if you put it on a gimbal, etc.

Once conditions get rougher is where the tiny sensor and plastic optics are going to let you down though.
Stretching your take to the extreme, it's like saying Kim Kardashian makes money from perfume because she's a genius fragrance designer and really understands the nuances and opportunities in the fragrance market, not because she had built an 'influential celebrity' persona with 400 million followers.

What I was trying to show, and also why I have no interest in creating something out of Termkit, is just that we have a lot of low hanging fruit that can still be fixed. I'd rather do that work as part of VTE so all the applications I use benefit (including GNOME Builder, which I wrote and maintain).

This was a fairly straightforward implementation of VT parsing and uses the retained render tree in GTK properly. There is no need to sacrifice CPU for GPU or vice-versa. You can literally do better in both directions while rendering at full frame rates.
While this is true, the method of 11 September 2001 worked for less than two hours. It is effectively impossible to hijack an airplane now, because the passengers will assume that they're dead either way and will do anything they can to stop you. You can still blow them up a la Lockerbie, but that's about it.

I really don't see a meaningful reason for most of "security screening" anymore. It just slows things down.
Those rare long-range drives are not an exception you can ignore. Part of the reason I have a car in the first place is to have the freedom to go to random places.

It's a bit like saying most of my work happens in the GUI, so I shouldn't expect to be able to use a terminal.
There's only so much you can do with a tiny sensor and mass produced plastic optics. The design going into the optics is incredible but big glass is coveted for a reason.
I’ll push back on this. I think most of us want some external validation that what we’re creating is useful and valuable.

I spent 2 solid years working on https://improve.ai and it’s gotten very little uptake. It’s taken a long time to emotionally get over putting that much blood, sweat, and money into something that almost no one values.

Going forward I will be failing much faster and not giving my life energy to products that aren’t showing traction.
To be fair, at Cuban scale that's your hot wallet.
Hossenfelder is a technical person able to read technical literature, follow chains of argument and decipher statistical analysis. If such a person reads the literature in a field new to her, summarizes it, and then you disagree with it (oh but the papers really meant something else), then the problem is with the literature, not the reader.
For almost everyone, the wise strategy is to invest in unmanaged index funds.

Please read Daniel Kahneman on the illusion of skill in investing:

> Most of the buyers and sellers know that they have the same information; they exchange the stocks primarily because they have different opinions. The buyers think the price is too low and likely to rise, while the sellers think the price is high and likely to drop. The puzzle is why buyers and sellers alike think that the current price is wrong. What makes them believe they know more about what the price should be than the market does? For most of them, that belief is an illusion.
Mix of their color temperature skewing and various smoothing (skin, moles etc) & surface processing
Great points. Agreed.

In certain situations though, the readability/maintainability gains from using this library might outweigh the added complexity of a layer of indirection.

Situations like this: whether to build a utility solution completely [1] in shell, or invert things and use mix of Python and shell. E.g., wrapping 'git' to create a note-taking CLI, or shelling out to $WEIRD_INTERNAL_TOOL and scraping its logs and stdout/stderr.

I think infrastructure like this repo can result in more readable and maintainable code than an all-shell OR all-Python solution in such situations.

You'll be less tempted to start doing things completely in shell and then get locked into that lock minimum.

However, you MUST be prepared to understand the source code of all dependencies you take [except the language's standard library, or similarly mature external libs]. e.g., I pick bottlepy.org vs Flask for personal projects.

With a small/medium library like this, I might import it to get a headstart and will be ok with it ultimately ending up as an incompatible, heavily-modified fork of the upstream project. Which IMO doesn't reflect poorly on the user or the library author.

[1] "completely" means some non-trivial processing that makes you use hash tables, arrays, lightweight tokenizing using read, arithmetic evaluation, sed+awk to massage command outputs so Bash's lightweight data structures can handle them, os.path manipulations.
libvte is a big reason that GNOME Terminal tends to be faster than competing terminal emulators, including xterm and rxvt. One of VTE's tricks is that it doesn't bother painting the screen if the contents are going to be overwritten in the next frame anyway; you can scroll through megabytes of data in fractions of a second this way.

The idea that it's slow, that's new to me.

I dont think all "success stories" should be celebrated. I think that's what the commenter was trying to highlight.

There is such a thing as toxic productivity advice, the internet is full of it. It's easy to spot for me now, because I've noticed a few common threads. 1- The writing typically focuses on how much money the person makes 2- how little they have to work now or how little they had to work to get it and 3- How little time it took.

In my career, business, etc. I've learned the exact opposite. I would give the exact opposite advice for people looking to be successful in their lives and careers:
1- Don't focus on how much money you make, but how much value you add to the world and those around you. As you keep investing in your community, it will pay you back dividends right when you need it most. 2- Work hard, even when mo one is watching. Work hard for yourself, no one else. 3- Don't rush things, sometimes taking an extra month to build your business infrastructure properly could save you millions in the future.

In one sentence: It's not helpful for me personally for this guy to boast about how much he makes, how little he works, and how quickly he did it. What would be helpful is for him to remove all the concrete numbers ($45k/month, etc.) and boasting which only serves to put up my defenses and force me to start off in a position of comparison. Then he could just have simple prose about things he thinks are helpful that he learned along the way, simple information like a technical paper, not ad copy.

This, and other content like it, serves them, not me. I've found that limiting or even completely restricting my consumption of this kind of content for the latter, is better for me.
I agree with you on quality housing being costly and scarce.

But living in SE Europe/Croatia can pay off if you can survive with lower standards for a while.

For example, you could buy a flat in urban area for 150k€ of lower quality and, if you are working for a non local company, you can pay it off quickly. Then you can start climbing on the housing ladder.

You probably cannot do that in other more developed countries.
Ad-tech is exclusively big players already anyway: Google & Meta. Let me play you the world's smallest violin for them.

And it's not like ad-tech is an important industry that's mandatory for a healthy society like healthcare, energy, transportations, education, environment, agriculture, etc. We can easily survive without them being so wealthy and powerful. We might even be in a happier place with them defanged, even if their shareholders wouldn't.

> I was convinced phones were going to approach crop sensor quality but it’s not even close, the 80D completely smoked it.

What is the size of a crop sensor (either APS-C, or even m5/4), and what is the size of the typical phone camera? How functionality do you have with aperture with a camera lens versus that of a phone (which often isn't real/physical, but may be simulated aperture)?

This is where awareness and planning help.

An emergency food stash that is part of a go-bag / bug-out-bag is useful. Individuals or households would have their food, clothing, and vital documents in a single piece of luggage (duffel bag, backpack, suitcase), which could be grabbed and carried or quickly thrown into a vehicle.

The challenge, at a wide-scale (national, regional, even city-wide) disaster-preparadness level, is of communicating this and establishing suitable levels of conformance.

To the extent that there are preparations which individuals can self-provide (food, water, and clothing among them) and those which require or benefit from central coordination (command-and-control, warning and information systems such as the FEMA test, emergency responders (rescue, etc.), and coordinated mass transportation (establishing and managing evacuation routes, busses, trains, etc.) it might not make sense to specifically provision such supplies, though if specific items aren't readily available commercially government coordination or distribution might help.
Yes, it's a tax imposed on air travel, something usually undertaken by the wealthy.
Remote coworkers can be a referral network and help with difficult problems.

Perhaps you can strike up friends at a co-working space or a company where RTO is optional. (I go snowboarding with a former co-worker occasionally. Since we live far away it's usually a big trip, yet still no less an adventure.)

Hopefully losing your job won't also put your social life at risk.
No, it is infamous precisely because people, especially developers, on HN discount the value of good user experience. No one but the most technical will set up their own FTP server to rsync files back and forth, but they will drag and drop files into a folder that "magically" syncs. To say it more flippantly, this is why Drew is a billionaire and BrandonM is not.
Bit off topic, but i think this is a good place to remind people that they should remember to enforce separation of two factor platforms. Attaching a modern smartphone you use for TANs for online banking to the machine you do online banking on is quite brave.

Their bite is much worse than a wasp sting. Unlikely to cause death or serious injury in an adult with no allergies, but the pain can be excruciating and last for many hours, and lesser symptoms for days. We usually do not prescribe muscle relaxers or opiates for a wasp sting.
> HTML has enough of a complement from CSS/JS that it needs its own book.

There are tons of HTML-specific books, but complete/definitive ones will cover the DOM and other aspects of HTML that are only meaningful in the context of CSS and JS, and thus they will cover at least some CSS and JS, too.

Not sure why you want a work to be marketed as “definitive” but also be woefully incomplete, but I think that there is a very good chance that the reason that book does not exist is that you would be the entire market for it.
