If a V12 is so powerful, show me an economy car with a V12.

If in all of the economy cars in existence, none has a V12, then either it's a false statement, or there are not V12s in economy cars. The latter being unlikely, given the size of the economy car market and the variety of models out there

Ask HN: Why is there no modern replacement for Ruby on Rails?
I specifically mean an opinionated all or highly encompassing web framework. Most modern web frameworks are far more modular, whether for node or even go. I understand separation of concerns and different needs. But the popularity of rails back in the day (and still today but “slowly”) to quickly get many pieces working was clearly an advantage for many startups.

Now I feel like the goalposts are always moving for newer languages, new libraries and communities every few months, constant migrations to the latest and greatest.

I’m wondering if it’s simply DHH opinions, ruby’s allowance for magic via method missing, or simply too much focus on performance, that modern web frameworks are not quick to setup and use. By web framework I don’t just mean database and views, but also, auth, storage, image variants, job queues, development and production environments, admin backend, caching, good migrations. The list really goes on.

Yes you can use 10 different saas co’s and patch everything together, including things like cloudinary, supabase etc. Is this really better?

Or the only way to get way way faster is to simply abandon rails but take on a lot more development burden?
I probably come off as an unhinged google hater to some, solely because of my extreme hate for google having killed Google Music. I loved that application so much, especially before it was reskinned with material.

Not to mention I'm not always there to sightsee. Last year we went back to visit family in California and with Airbnb I was able to book a house for a month around the corner from my sister, so our kids could play with their cousins for the first time in years. It was a boring residential neighbourhood and not a place you'd find a hotel.
>First you’d have to argue that only the top execs were aware of this, because a bunch of Unity employees quit due to this.

This doesn't follow - it's entirely possible that the execs planned to do this, a bunch of dev's said "that's insane and we'll quit if you do this", the execs followed through, and the devs followed through on their threats to quit.

Just realised DuckDB names each of their releases after different species of ducks. This probably reveals how little I know of duck species but aren't they going to run out of names for future releases pretty soon? How many duck species are there?

Same here, I switched from apple podcasts after their home re-organization that ruined the experience for me. Guess I should have known better.
It's not the point, but I significantly prefer the Apple Maps turn-by-turn UI, especially now that they have cycling directions, and I notice no real difference in the quality of directions for my use.

Slightly misleading headline, as PET (polyethylene terephthalate) hydrolases were already known - see https://www.chm.bris.ac.uk/motm/PETase/PETaseh.htm

This is a study of an archaeal enzyme (from the deep-sea) that can degrade both long-chain and short-chain polymers that is more efficient at 70 deg C than other enzymes.

The details are that this is a feruloyl esterase with a conserved alpha/beta-hydrolase fold but with an additional flexible 'lid' domain that covers the active site. The authors suggest this lid domain replaces the conserved Trp that is an Ala in the archaeal enzyme.

Maybe reread what I actually wrote? Saying there is too much of something that I use is not the same as demanding a ban on what I use. You have presented a straw man version of my point.

Quora is clearly doing this so that they rank highly on Google and get clicks.

What surprises me is that Google doesn't seem to care, despite their stance that "Using automation—including AI—to generate content with the primary purpose of manipulating ranking in search results is a violation of our spam policies."

Yes, but as counterargument: there are battle-tested compression formats that offer pretty-damned-good compression. If anything, this shows some questions of calculus when it comes to risk-vs-reward of embracing new standards for compression formats. When was the last time there was a serious vulnerability in major JPEG libs? Or even h.264, which is much newer? Yes, a .webp is like 2/3 the size of a similar JPEG, but for most people are JPEG image sizes a huge cause for concern? Once you're doing lossy compression you're already sacrificing fidelity for filesize so you don't see a lot of machine-crushing-huge JPEGs.
Google executive leaders must have been worried that users might start trusting Google's apps again, so hatched this plan to maintain Google's well-known reputation.

When looking at business leaders, it's best to assume scary competence and that they always know what they're doing. After all, if they weren't impossibly better than us mere mortals, why would the market have granted them such high-paid CEO jobs?
Why would you expect that? LLMs are explicitly trained on what humans do. Humans miss security vulnerabilities all the time.
They are paying them not to develop a competitor search engine* and not to default include adblock, not to mess with cookies ect. That doesn't need to be in the agreement but it is obviously implied. "Would google still pay us $10 billion if we did X?" is enough to do it.

Nope. It stores the data end-to-end encrypted in the devices locally and synchronizes that to the cloud. I personally liked the wi-fi sync a long time ago with 1Password (before it was a subscription-based business), but since this is e2ee and open source, I'm fine with the cloud storage.
The way the Google Play Music vs YouTube Music crap played out is the worst (best?) example of "shipping the org chart" I can imagine. I worked at Google at the time, and it was just ridiculous to watch.

What kind of dysfunctional company deathmarches its users like this between two competing brands and products right in its own company, and is so committed to doing it wholesale that it's willing to mass-lose customers as well as features? The kind that puts its internal politics and product manager's careers and ideas ahead of customers' needs.

For at least a year after the transition you couldn't chromecast from YouTube Music on the web. The internal buganizer ticket on the matter was a shitshow. No accountability for the fact that we were killing something that worked and replacing with something that didn't even work with our own products.

Likewise, YTM on Android Auto was a similarly terrible backwards step in user interface and capabilities. It's been some years so I forget what irked me, but there was a laundry list of them.

At one point there were I think 3 Google product places where you could play podcasts; YTM, GPM, and Google Podcasts. None talking with each other about subscriptions, etc.

That and the whole idea of meshing a video recommendation system with a music recommendation system was just busted. My kids watched Minecraft or whatever videos on YouTube on the family (Android) TV So I started getting recommendations in YTM for video game music and what not.

The entire orientation of YouTube is around various random clips and the like. A music service like Spotify or (RIP) GPM is about albums and singles and EPs. YouTube's whole recommendation model wasn't built for it, IMHO.

GPM had a good recommendations engine. YTM pushed top 40 crap on me. I tried to tune it, but it failed.

I'd ask my Google display assistant device (I worked on them and had a couple around the house) to play some music, and it would spool up and start playing a video on YouTube instead. Because clearly that's what I'd want.

Harmonizing product lines and concentrating efforts and changing brands around etc is entirely reasonable. But you don't do it in a way that drops features and pisses off customers. You do it carefully and with respect. The way this played out was ... YouTube organization "won", Google Play team "lost."

I gave up, cancelled my sub, and bought Spotify.
There are plenty of places where to a first approximation the houses are all owner-occupied rather than offered for rent.
I've always thought of these payments more as Google paying Apple to not build their own search engine.

You can’t outsource intuition - you have to build it yourself. You need to be willing to look like a fool and be wrong. It’s less a question of when to stop digging and more a question of self awareness and ability to keep an open mind.
Compare with Ethereum and you can quickly be disabused of this notion that they are at all similar.

- Ethereum uses PoS, and you can run a validator with commodity hardware which costs a couple of hundred dollars.

- All the validators online at this moment consume a fraction of electricity used by all current videogame consoles in stand-by.

- Ethereum's value is not derived from the expectation that it is a "store of a value", but that it will be required to run a lot of basic activities in its blockchain. "If BTC is digital gold, ETH aims to be digital oil" is a good analogy coined by Buterin.

- Because of this focus on the blockchain and its applications, very few people working in ETH actually worry about its price. Bitcoiners by and large do nothing but try convince other people that their coin is the chosen one. Ethereum developers don't really care about any specific coin, just that it runs on the Ethereum blockchain.

"Google Podcasts to shut down in 2024" isn't misleading, that's exactly what's happening. The fact that they're trying to force people onto YouTube Music isn't relevant for me.
Yeah that’s sloppy.
I was probably never going to learn unity in the first place. But when the news came out that shifted to, "Well, now I'm definitely never going to learn unity."

However, I missed the news that Unity merged with ironSource. The runtime fees news filled me in on that and also filled me in on some of the less than savory things that ironSource has been up to in the past.

Now my position has moved towards, "I guess I shouldn't play anything made in Unity (at least not on machines where I care about their security)." And cancelling the runtime fee isn't likely to shift my position.

I think a huge chunk of web developers might be forced to switch to Firefox soon: Stripe’s API docs have become so big (and their asynchronous loading logic is so terrible) that Chrome regularly crashes for me jumping into section links in their api docs which made me curious to try it under Firefox.

Google Podcasts seemed to source its feeds from more sources, maybe even the open internet, since podcasts are just RSS feeds, more or less. This led to a wider selection, like pirate streams with all the episodes of paywalled podcasts.

> A phone released in October 2020 is about to stop getting security updates?!

I actually looked into it, my previous phone was released in June 2020.

The last security update for the phone came out in January 2022.

I'm not sure whether they're just updating things infrequently or whether that model is abandoned altogether, but neither would speak highly of the Android support landscape for non-flagship phones.

This ends up being kind of silly: if I want to have a mostly secure backup device (for 2FA and my bank/eID apps), then I probably need two comparatively recent devices, since a 5 year old budget phone would no longer quite do as a temporary daily driver, in case I'd lose my main phone.
I wouldn't even change my search engine back. Google often sends me captchas while using a VPN, and sometimes somehow I end up stuck doing the captcha for 1+ min. So I've been using Bing for the last few weeks when that happens, and I haven't found the results worse than Google's.
A 1 gigabit connection represents 384 Terrabytes of data over a month.

You can certainly say using 100% of that is excessive and not many disagree.

The question is what is excessive? 50%? 10%? For me it is 0.4% without up charges.

Additionally on the topic of costs bandwidth is by definition free. Pretty much everybody is okay with $0/gb pricing for network traffic.

Capacity costs money. How much capacity does an excessive data user consume? Certainly not 10x as you surmise, they are only one user.

Just look at their pricing for the answer, I can pay 50% more for unlimited data which means it costs them at most 50% more (certainly less since this is a scheme to earn more revenue).

On the topic of provisioning residential is hugely under provisioned as a cost cutting measure. This isn't all bad as there is never a time where everyone wants all their bandwidth. But blaming slow downs on high bandwidth users is silly when no one bothers to track capacity in these situations.

The reality is they just throttle you to keep bandwidth evenly split during high traffic time (as they should, everyone should share the bottlenecked line equally). Which resolved any capacity problems as much as they care to.

Bandwidth caps have always been a charge that isn't technically a charge and nothing more.
They aren't wasted if they are preventing security vulnerabilities.

I also wouldn't be surprised if patching, rebuilding and distributing this fixed version of libwebp to all of these devices would be comparable to the extra cost of decoding.

> One institutional trader told The Wall Street Journal that his company has conducted fire drills to withdraw its assets from Binance quickly in the event of a meltdown.

If you think a crypto exchange you're doing business with is on shaky ground, the time to withdraw is now. So many crypto exchange collapses have shown that you need to withdraw before the "meltdown" if you want to ensure your assets are safe. If you wait you end up in bankruptcy purgatory for years and might only get a fraction of what you're owed.

And as so often with Mozilla has the translation-feature an awful user experience. It's not showing itself, unless you are on a site with a supported language. And supported means, the language-pack is installed. How are people supposed to discover this?

Additionally, the auto-discovery seems to appear only once per domain? I tested it on Wikipedia, and after the first article, it never shows up again. But I guess this is ok, after all that dialog is Fu*ing huge. Couldn't they choose something more subtle? It's their own browser, they should have all the ability to make proper integrations for something like this.

This is overall a really great feature, which could have great use for people, but as it's now, it's more likely to be removed again in a while, because "nobody is using it", like so often in the past.
