It's a eink device, just a bit smaller, as simple as that. You'll be surprised by how many people want to read stuff in the bed holding the device with one hand, and this is smaller than a kindle. It is heavier than Kindle but lighter than Kindle Paperwhite. Don't forget it has Android -- it is rare and some people view it as a plus.

You might as well ask why anyone would buy a Kindle instead of an iPad mini, and I don't think I need to answer that question.

Simultaneously, there must be harsh penalties for abusing that system. See Samsung's use of a patent on display technology to label third party displays as counterfeits, despite not using that patent nor misrepresenting themselves as Samsung screens.

I prefer Xcreet, which starts with X and rhymes with tweet.

I don't mind Xitter, since that's where a lot of people post from. But in English, X pretty much never sounds like sh, so it's a bit of a leap. I guess some Spanish words that start with X sound like sh. In Chinese, X is used for a sound that is almost an Sh sound. It's really not very common, I think.

I take very good care of my things. The plug on my phone should not require daily maintenance though. I have had cell phones since the late 90s and USB-C is the only plug that has given me trouble.

USB-C over a pretty short period collects lint. It gets compressed into the connector little by little every time you seat the cable and eventually your cable won't seat anymore. You then find a very solid plug in the bottom of the port that no amount of brushing will get it out.

You basically have to use a very fine needle to scrape the bottom.

I am guessing you have never had a USB-C phone before.

That would be amazing, because people will finally leave these apps for good. See videogame case about corpos leaving Steam for their own inferior walled gardens and failing spectacularly.
All kinds of house hold stuff, appliance parts, whatever. What would be an example of something I can only get on Amazon?
Signal or Telegram in China. All those opposition apps that Apple readily removed from Russian AppStore at Putin's behest.
This...depends on your application. With a lot of small memory/embedded applications, deciding how much memory you need ahead of time is how you do things and normally you don't malloc at all. Because you absolutely need to know the memory bounds of your app. In that sort of environment, this approach can be useful.

Not men, businesses. And businesses can and should be coerced to serve the people.
Give us more context; what's the situation that's lead you to this particular solution?

USB sound cards with a mic and a speaker are all over the place these days, so two of those, and an aux cable, from the speaker on one to the mic on two would get you what you're looking for, assuming I'm understanding your question correctly.

You aren't the target audience I think? The main two reasons to use custom alloctors, or the two I run into at least, is when memory allocation profiles as a significant portion of your flamegraph, and/or there is a real probability of memory fragmentation preventing new allocation even when there is plenty of space left. That latter is often the case with embedded. The former can be, and is also pretty common any time you are cpu bound as in gaming or signal processing.

This looks nice! Critical feedback:

- Spending about 5-10 minutes on your page, I also couldn't figure out why or what you were trying to do. The copy you wrote above is perhaps clearer, but not clear.

- You have less than 5-10 minutes to sell me on what you're doing.

- I began to get it when I clicked on the screenshot, and saw controls with vm.Filter(column=...

- To use this myself, I'd want to be able to add it incrementally to dash / plot.ly apps. You don't want to force yourself to be "the framework." You want to be able to slot into diverse places. The different pieces should be modular enough to do that.

- In one of your other posts, you wrote: "while it is currently optimised to leverage Plotly and Dash, it could theoretically utilise components from other packages such as StreamLit in future." This seems like a very bad idea. Plotly and dash are well-architected and expandable (it's trivial to integrate components from other sources with React). You don't want to reinvent the wheels plotly/dash invented. If you want to slot in other components, please use their architecture.

In other words, clearly communicate your value-add, and focus on that value-add. Don't try to do / be everything. Things outside of that value-add should be PRs back into dash / plot.ly, or independent, modular pieces in their own repos.

I feel like this comment and the other child comment are missing that we continue to innovate.

Automating the printing press, building the cotton gin, widespread use of combines to harvest wheat (or whatever) - none of these led to mass unemployment. They all created change and churn, for sure, but people will always find new things to do.

I’m always struck by this discussion - should we continue to operate coal mines, and refuse to move off fossil fuel? Those are massive job displacements across, for instance, Appalachia. The common argument is that those people should retrain to new skills. Why is that not the argument for people whose job can be automated?

One of the first groups that will likely lose big to LLMs is lawyers - how hard should we fight to make sure that the law remains incomprehensible and inaccessible in order to preserve those jobs?

Why is anyone’s job a sacred cow?

Sorry, the number of questions read more aggressively than I intend them - I’m earnestly interested in the answers.

> Having to decide ahead of time how much memory to allocate to the arena is... crap...

A nice solution in many cases is to just keep a bunch of std::vector<T> (or equivalent) around for the types you need, and .clear() them all at the start of each request/frame/message/whatever being processed. Calling push_back on a vector will only allocate when the vector's already reached its capacity, which will happen very rarely after the first few runs, so the hot loop will usually be allocation-free, but without needing to allocate a fixed amount of memory ahead of time.
> new tax regulation decades in the making will go into effect

In Poland new sweeping tax regulation was hammered in a year, introduced in autumn and went into force with the beginning of new year. It was of course full of errors and unanticipated effects and all tax advisors and accounting services companies were just winging it for the first year.

Not it doesn't. Its mostly tax/banking havens and oil/gas rich countries. The only exception to the rule is US lol.

> Your adoration of billionaires and your materialistic values cloud your judgement.

You just called the richest, most entrepreneurial and ingenuitive man of our generation a hack. Mind you, this is the same guy your kin worshipped like 2 seconds ago.

The guy continually made bold bets, got ridiculed by everyone and was proven right. The Twitter saga being the latest example, the platform was meant implode any minute now like a year ago.

You may disagree with my claims but at the very least I try to present an objective view of the world grounded in experience and facts.

> Can you not see that its not an even playing field?

The playing field is as even and fair as its ever been. This is not an opinion, its a fact and the difference is uncanny. Does this mean why shouldn't strive to make it even more fair, no go on ahead, all the power to you.

> UK is not Europe which is doing great.

The entire union is propped up by Germany (& France). The ECB has no ammunition left. Italy & Spain are about to have a pensions nuclear explosion. France temporarily delayed it at a great cost. Its really not looking good for Europe.

> Billionaires found slaves in Asia

How can you not see the childishness of your worldview? Its reads like a badly written bedtime story. Big bad fat cat monsters vs honest bartender lady who was destined for more!

I urge you, try to get a better picture of the world. I suggest you look into:

- Pareto principle & distribution

- Cantillon effect

- Any Steve Jobs or Elon Musk biography

- History from Mesopotamia to now, the more detailed the better.

- Read up on communism/socialism/capitlaism, use neutral* sources if you must but actually dive in.

At the very least, you'll be able to make better arguments for your cause.

> Conclusion

I hope one day you will realise that the difference between a guy who spars with his buddies vs Khabib Nurmagomedov isn't linear.

There are people in all walks of life (not just business) where the difference between the average vs the great is truly mind boggling. Its a kind of feeling you get where you go "oh there a levels to this shut!"!.

A world that doesn't reward these freaks of nature justly, deserves to burn to the ground. People like Bob Iger or Satya Nadella can retire multiple times over, instead the choose to work 70 hour weeks and its not rote repetitive stuff either, its 4d chess stuff with constant context switching.

I can really keep going here but its just so baffling to me that there people like you in this world (especially HN). I said it before, I don't think its IQ, if you here it means you atleast smart enough. There is something deeply rotten about a society that cannot recognise greatness.
I saw a talk by Warren Spector about 10 years ago in Australia. It was an interesting experience - he's not at all who I expected. When I think of the greats of game development, I think of people with a singular vision and a deep drive to create beautiful things, like Jonathan Blow. Warren Spector wasn't like that at all. He was much more focused around how to build big teams and make them succeed.

A few nuggets from his talk, as best as I can remember it a decade later:

- He's bought several houses on his street and he's filled them with lots of stuff from various games he's made. He describes it as a sort of living museum to himself and his work.

- He said you shouldn't expect games to be fun when you first get them working. He described making Deus Ex, and said they spent years on the game and the first time they played it it wasn't fun at all. He thinks you shouldn't worry about that, and just make something with content in it and then make it fun to play at the end of the process.

- He seemed very pro-crunch. Like, to him it felt like the most obvious thing in the world that people would "work super hard" near the end of a video game project to make it the best it could be.

Its interesting - after hearing him talk about that I kinda get why his games turn out how they do. I've played a lot of his games. I grew up on Wing Commander. System Shock 2 is of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. But take Deus Ex - There were about 8 different creative ways to finish deus ex's first level. But by halfway through the game, it was very samey and the levels had mostly linear paths. The team obviously didn't have time to finish it properly. The boss battles were even outsourced to another team and they didn't fit the rest of the game.

But having seen him speak, I doubt that would have particularly bothered Spector.

He's clearly successful by any measure, but I still came away from his talk somehow not respecting the guy as much as I thought I would. My impression was that he cares a lot more about financial success and his personal image than he does making great work. Apparently Hayao Miyazaki rewatched Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind decades after making it and he was on the verge of tears, saying "Its still not done!". I can't imagine Warren Spector ever caring about his work like that. And thats fine - he can have whatever values he wants. But his values aren't my values.
I like goofy projects like this one but I think that if you insist on having calls there, then might as well make it more explicit with something like this:

pipe((p) => ([
"hello",
p.concat("!"),
send,
p.status,
console.log
]));

Where `p` stands for Proxy to the previous result. Under the hood it would just return an object describing the name of the called method and arguments passed.

The pipe function would then iterate over the array, calling methods as described.

It's not immediately clear what should happen when a method's return type is a function, but I suppose this can be handled via convention.

Tried on a couple of devices with Firefox, the Downloading runtime bit takes ages.

On Android firefox on my poor old Nokia Android phone it's way too slow to try, on rotating the UI size hasn't caught up for a few seconds and everything stretches.

Edit: I got Failed to create WebGL context: WebGL creation failed: (Feature_Failure_EGL_Create) Exhausted GL driver options. (FEATURE_FAILURE_WEBGL_EXAUSTED_DRIVERS)

The Ubuntu is in qemu but should have 3D support, as others mentioned there should be some error surfacing, not just continuing to show the splash screen forever.

On Firefox on Ubuntu, I'm still waiting after a couple of minutes for it to start, so might try again later.
"curl | sudo sh" refers to the installation instructions found in many projects these days that try to make installation easier by telling users to download a setup script (curl) and then run it with elevated privileges (sudo sh). This foregoes the usual packaging systems and makes interoperability easier but some people rightly point out that this is very unsafe as it teaches users to execute arbitrary code from the web with full access to their machine. The real-world threat scenarios this actually presents are of course debatable (e.g. most of them also apply to downloadable installers in general).

The mention of JavaScript is just the usual programming language elitism. JavaScript started as a language for web programming (technically it was first used for server-side scripting before being implemented in browsers) so it's "not a real programming language" and therefore "not used by real programmers" so software using it is bad.

Of course there are alternatives to Home Assistant, like OpenHAB, which is written in Java and comes with all the UX typically associated with Java projects. It's not necessarily worse but most people would probably prefer HA's auto-discovery over OpenHAB's approach of granularly defining every single property
I think you'd have to look at how much revenue is created by each app they make. It might be popular, but a lot of popular things don't make money. I'm not sure if inbox was ever popular. I did try it for a few days once, though.

Part of the problem with being a public company is that your sole incentive is forever increasing revenue and profits. That very often means lopping off things that don't look great on the sheets - especially if the cull makes the business as a whole more profitable.

Keep in mind that you are not the customer. You are their audience. Their advertisers and shareholders are who they are accountable to.

That's why you don't have to pay for the service, and also why it's nearly impossible for you to negotiate with them if they delete your account. If you were their customer, you'd have a say. But you're just part of a large interactive audience in their business model.
I'm not sure openness is the sole factor reducing support duration.

Windows 8 was released in 2012 and was supported untim 2023 and Microsoft for sure hat _a lot_ more platforms to support than Google / the Android Team.

I would argue that a closed system is a lot easier to support for a longer time (because one can mandate changes/depreciations). But for a open system, there must be another factor coming into play, may it be money or a simple "don't care".
I think it's two pieces:

1) Removal of the need for complex glue code (filters, callbacks, etc.). This is nice so less sophisticated users can develop dashboards.

2) Easy hosting / deployment. I don't want that in the same system (I use dash in my own apps, and it's nice I'm not tied to much of anything else)

That's me extrapolating from a little bit of poking. I could be wrong.

I think this will have 0 effect. Writers that use AI will push some of the writers that don't use AI out of the market.

What exact scenario have they prevented?

At the extreme end, which won't happen but which would be possible under these rules, there could be a single writer who is basically just prompt engineering and reviewing what the AI spits out, for hundreds of shows.

That a studio would use AI to generate a script without the involvement of a single writer? That wasn't going to happen anyways.

So what was the point of this? Is there something I am missing?
