> Ahhhh the woefully delusional thinking... this is why we can't listen to such people: they can't see the forest for the ideologically possessed trees

Your comment is the textbook definition of irony.

It's quite obvious that integration is the solution to every single problem you try to pin on behavior that originates in contrasts with the local culture. Arguing against integration requires a belief that local culture is also responsible for social problems you're pinning on immigrants, which would refute the hypothetis that immigration is behind them. Thus, any outright rejection of any approach to integration can only be held by baseless ignorant belief systems (i.e., ideologically possessions).

But then again, racists aren't known for being intellectuals.
Surprisingly, 32kbps is actually somewhat listenable with Opus.
Well, they aren't going to in front of the FTC and make themselves look huge and successful and dominating, now, are they.

Phil's entire job is to communicate the idea that they have to acquire third-party studios to keep the business running at all. "If you don't let us buy Activision, then we'll just be forced to fold our tents, and then there will be even LESS competition. You don't want THAT, do you?"

When in reality, Microsoft's attitude toward the Xbox division has always been more like Citizen Kane. "Why, yes, we lost $100 million last year, and we're on track to lose $150 million this year. At this rate, if things don't improve, we might have to shut this place down in... let's see... 12,000 years."
I feel like I could have written this article. I'm still using the timer each time I cook but it just feels like more of a hassle than the previous version, where the switch from watch OS 8 to 9 felt like it made things better immediately.
It's pretty interesting, if you read through the Federalist papers, where they were discussing how to set up the US states/government, they were seriously debating and worried about whether a state full of people from England could coexist next to a state full of people from France. They were seriously worried that even people that similar, from almost the same place and culture, would eventually fracture on their differences and go to war with each other. What a world we live in today in comparison.
Ironically one of the major uses of analytics has been to highlight the impact of slow response time on user retention for a wide class of applications.

I also feel that speed builds trust, although I don't know specifically why. Perhaps people envision more errors or error-prone processes when a system is slow. It certainly shows more understanding of the data to present it quickly.
I meant "brevity at all costs" languages like J and Uiua strike me as the kind of contraptions that people who can't type fast would come up with. I speak from experience. I had a coworker who would write absolutely cryptic code and one day we were working together and I noticed he was typing painfully slow, and then it all clicked.

I'm well aware it's possible to type eg Chinese rapidly, and I use the Windows emoji entry keyboard quite often.
Ask HN: What are the most promising transformative tools for thought today?

Yes correct. I am not meeting them in NY and other places...

In my opinion, it's all market economics that decide how things work. The moment you introduce a complex courting procedure, where maintainers are required to be nice and acknowledge every little detail and guide the newbies through every half-baked contribution, you'll kill the project. That's because what keeps the maintainers and the senior contributing and maintaining is the technical work and not the human work. Most maintainers would rather spend their time exploring, contributing and doing technically useful stuff than making every newbies happy and welcome and teach ing them to be smarter and better developer. Such a project will automatically loose the ultra smart, self-driven people that keeps projects like the Linux kernel relevant for more than 30 years. It's all market economics.
What if someone has multiple devices they want to connect? Most people would travel with at least two devices.
Lets put this in software terms:

Lets say I have a software development agency focusing on scaling sophisticated platforms.

There are plenty of rote repetitive stuff thats not critical in nature. So it would make sense to hire a guy/gal who just got out a bootcamp. They basically get paid to learn & polish their resume while you get low value stuff done with the added benefit of potential valuable team member in the making.

Now imagine if California passed a law saying all software development jobs must be payed $50/hr.

Mind you this was already a barely an acceptable trade for agency with a lot going on these employees sticking with the agency after they gained some experience.
Maybe, more likely an issue of incentives.

Manager is not incentivized to do X? Then forget it. Not my job, not my problem.

> I reject your assertion that an employee clearly realizes more than $20/hr in value to their employer.

It's visible in the business practices: California has more McDonald's restaurants than any other state[1], and franchisees aren't running a charity. This law is the result of a compromise, as much as individual franchise owners may wish to portray otherwise[2]. If they're currently profitable and feel as though they can compromise at $20/hr, then I feel confident in claiming that they're realizing more than $20/hr in average employee labor value.

> But even if they did: why should the employer be forced to pay them more, when the job itself is unskilled and therefore has a surplus of folks demanding the position, even at their current rates of pay?

One good reason is to close an implicit subsidy: in states with high living costs, employees who require social services while continuing to work amount to an implicit labor subsidy on the government's part. I don't know about you, but I don't think the government should artificially depress wages like that.

Uh...demand negotiations and/or strike immediately. Like wtf!?
> Because you’re not changing the service you’re providing and a “worse” worker doesn’t decrease the throughput of the store in any measurable fashion.

I dont think either assertion is true.

Maybe a business finds ways to cut costs to offset the wage increases leading to a worse product for the consumer.

If I have a worker that is able to produce 150% of the tacos per hour compared to another worker, there is definitely a difference in throughput and therefore a difference in value.

> This increase will get passed onto the consumer... reducing the profit margin

I agree. There are three outcomes:

1. Pass the costs to the consumer

2. Reduce profit margins

3. Go out of business (this happens when 1 and 2 fail)

The policy now has forcably changed the market equilibrium for labor by reducing supply in jobs comparable to fast food. The government has now mandated the consumer must pay more than the market equilibrium price. It has mandated that entrepreneurs reduce their income.
I read a different article that reported he was returning to the U.S. from Japan. So definitely it was immigration authorities.
> The west has a problem with policing, its either too soft

I noticed that also in every city in the Central and West Europe; in comparison with America (specially central and North America) the cops here has a complete different patrolling doctrine that is not prepared for that kind of ostensive preventive/remediation repression.

During some events of the summer 2020/21 I was surprised that in some situation of confronts or ostensive patrolling they lack some basic things like tactical formation (and it’s variations), non lethal options only pepper spray for small units (no teasers, no batons, or precision options), lack of non-characterised units, and an unnecessary gear (guys carrying several keys in a big keychain) and loose gear (pants that are not fit for running, heavy boots with inappropriate shoelace).

And on top of that a concerning lack of situational awareness.

Of course we do not have the issues from America policing (truculence, lack of de-escalating skills, less intelligence backed and more confrontational) but I think it’s time to change if they want have any success against those gangs.
Excessive? Since we refuse to build light rail and such, at least we might have roads that aren’t slammed sometime in the future!
No, but That's just the way capitalism works. Wages are a cost that, like all costs, businesses are constantly driven to reduce in order to stay competitive and maximize profits. Hiring classes of people to whom society affords fewer rights and less social value (such as teenagers and immigrants) as a means of cutting costs through lower wages has been a mainstay of business since it was legal to send ten year olds to work in factories and mines a century ago. Tech does the same thing through free internships and visas, cutting costs by means of an exploitable legal underclass.

The fast food industry wouldn't exist if it was treated as serious work for adults. But it's considered pretend work for teenagers to learn to build character on or whatever, so it's fine that it barely pays a subsistence wage.
Won't do, but apparently building up your contribution score helps finding a job at Google.
> otherwise sacred act of creation isn't sacred anymore, it's just a bunch of phenomena you can apply science to and reason about separetely. Which is of course bad.

"Which is of course bad" - all these people thinking their personal opinions are universal, unwavering truths...
What I wonder is, was an internal person/team tapped to track RTO or did they hire someone that works remotely to do this?
I've had the exact opposite experience with long distance Amtrak travel. Nice sized seats which are much more comfortable, better views, no getting groped by a TSA agent. Other than the time it takes to travel being much shorter, planes aren't even in the same league as Amtrak.
watchOS 10 is a regression in many ways:

- The swipe up gesture now brings up widgets instead of control center. This can't be disabled

- every workout ends with "Are you sure?" Instead of just ending.

- the most recent watch app is no longer at the top of the app switcher. It's buried somewhere in the stack now.

- the app drawer now requires a double press of the crown to activate instead of double pressing the side button. Not a huge deal, but this breaks an action I've been doing for the last ten years for basically no reason?

- weather and maps now look like their iOS equivalents instead of mini-apps that compliment your phone (ie busier than you'd expect for a watch)
Maybe you measure how many burgers they can make in an hour. Each burger sells for $x dollars. You've now quantified how much revenue that employee generates.
You are logical but maybe don't have the context. Historically, old people moved to Florida while young people moved north for careers etc. Currently, you can meet a lot of young professionals / families who have moved to FL. This is new.

I am with you on the weather, but on the flip side it's VERY hot in the summer.

As for NYC vs Miami... there's a palpatable shift. It used to be "what does Miami have for me besides sunshine" and now it's more like "why would anyone stay in NYC?" The former question has more and more good answers now while the later fewer and fewer.

And again I say this as a new Yorker who hasn't moved yet so it's not like I am just talking my own book here.
Very interesting article. I hope my tangential comment is not inappropriate: Writing style in the Atlantic Monthly seems to have been considerably dumbed-down over the decades.
It's arbitrary because why not 4% or 6%. 5 just happens to be a pleasant number but there's nothing special about it in an economic sense.
Gotta get dex to 75 before unlocking that perk.
The US was over 80% white, often over 90% white, for the vast majority of its existence [0]. It was relatively unified in race and culture for the last 400 years. Only since the 1960s/1970s was the immigration floodgates truly opened and the demographics significantly changed. If anything, the way things have been falling apart in the last 50 years is directly contrary to increased diversity of culture being beneficial.

It’s bonkers because Monocasa’s take is bonkers.

Code generated with tools is still code. This code is the source. The output of the code is the output. Monocasa is failing to understand or perhaps intentionally not understanding the difference. In some contexts a “compiled release” implies an output that is largely immutable for practical purposes. That is not what this is. It’s technically a binary object, but it’s a binary object you can easily unpack to get executable code that you can read and edit. It is a convenient format different from classical text code. The fact that it’s a binary is completely irrelevant. It’s akin to arguing that code that is provided in a zip file cannot be open source. Both because it’s a compressed file and because it doesn’t include the compression algorithm.

With that understood, demanding the “tools” that were used to create the code is like asking for the engineers’ notebooks of design thoughts along the way. It has no bearing on your ability to use or modify it. This is not an open source project to make neural nets. This an open source project of a neural net.

If someone releases math_funcs.py, you don’t need anything about the tools that were used to create math_funcs.py to consider it open source.
Had that on some Android phones for a while now, e.g. my Galaxy S22 has it. I use it, and trust that it works - but this is not a solution, this is just adding insult to injury for those of us who remember phones with replaceable batteries...

While that looks like a nice small-ish tower PC it doesn't seem like it's in the same class as an rPI on a lot of axes, it seems half way between an rPI and a full desktop tower.
Its not the connection of pins that makes PCBs so hard.

Its the random creation of antenna that suddenly throws your electrons off the board and suddenly causing nearby traces (to also turn into antenna) to get crosstalk leading to failure. Or throwing your electrons off the board and failing EMI regulations.

With 1ns rise/fall times on typical microcontrollers (even a 4MHz ATMega328 / Arduino), an antenna can be inadvertently created with just a 75mm trace. With a faster chip, you could have antenna at 25mm or even shorter traces.

-----------

PCB board design today is about understanding the physical attributes of the PCB: how the stackup causes your board to act like a capacitor (and therefore a source of voltage when the bulk / decoupling capacitors run out of energy). Seriously, this is called "PDN" or power-distribution network. You turn Layer2 into a ground-plane and add a plane to Layer3, calculate the dielectric thickness and estimate the amount of latent capacitance you get between a 30mm^2 ground vs power plane seperated by 0.1mm of dielectric.

And not only do you calculate this, you *take advantage of it* to reduce high-frequency (ie: 1GHz+) power-delivery issues.

Which could happen as low as ~100MHz in practice, because its more about rise/fall times than it is about the actual clock speeds.

--------

There are two kinds of PCB designers. Those who know that they're designing an antenna... and those who do not know they're designing an antenna. The PCB itself is an antenna and you need to design it in a very peculiar manner to minimize radiation. You can't just guess-and-check this (I mean, I guess with enough time/money you can guess/check... but ideally you lay things out with a mental simulation of inductances, eddy currents, an idea of electric fields and return paths of your signals across low-through-high frequencies)
Its funny, as I am still not good at step debugging in lisp, but https://malisper.me/debugging-lisp-part-1-recompilation/ is a great example of basically the same concept there. Really, that whole series was amazing fun to read through.
> even as a fulltime Rust developer, I don't really see the advantage of using Rust for it vs, say, TypeScript.

UI libraries aside, Rust is better language and has better tooling, which overall contributes to productivity. TS/JS as a language for tooling is brittle and slugish (unless it's rewritten in Rust, where significant amount of tools is already heading), and I am happy for it to be replaced.

Good! Then the business should not exist if it cannot pay a living wage. Your comment makes it sound like you're doing this person a great service, when in actuality, such an arrangement is the problem. An employer paying minimum wage is saying, "I would pay you less if I could get away with it, but I legally cannot."

I would encourage you to work harder as a business owner to pay a living wage, if you so choose to be a business owner who requires labor.
No no more turn-by-turn directions when navigating, instead it just shows you a map. Dangerous when on a bike.
Quick? That's 1100km in 17h. 65km/h average. Regular, non-high speed should be able to do max 160-200 km/h, achieving average speed - including stops - over 130km/h, which is 2x faster.
> So since there's no simple solution nothing should be done?

Didn't say that, quite the opposite, but yeah, I'll confess I can't outline how. Hard to say how to fix 30 years of systemic failure.

"Throw them in the ocean" is a bit underspecified too, to be fair, and the legality is questionable.
When Epic was announced as a buyer, it kinda struck me that Valve would've been a better steward for the platform in the short term, with potential synergy in the long term considering how many OST they already sell for games.
The display and keyboard would be fun to have where I interact with the ras pi directly; I don't need to attach another sbc to a ras pi of course; but where is there such a neat display and keyboard that I could get for a pi? I have several rasp pi, I wish they had an inexpensive display and keyboard like this one. I could use it for commands on the shell.

But it's mostly to play with.

That's just a great form factor! In such a situation, I was thinking you could use the cpu to communicate with the ras pi somehow, ssh into it? It's just a neat form factor with that compact keyboard and display, using such little power.

By itself it's fun too, but I'm not going to do much assembly work, not doing anything that takes soldering. I'm just terrible at that kind of stuff. If I could buy a complete little computer like that, with some kind of storage maybe, it would be neat. I didn't understand how much effort it would take to get an actual working system that I could type on like the original poster.
If you really feel that they color and presence of their facial hair was the best way to describe whatever it was that felt relevant to mentioning them, I can't really call that offensive.

But the term "graybeard" is known in these circles as a reference to an older, always male, programmer.

What actually matters is that they've been around the block enough times to understand (for example) that Rust probably will not solve every programming issue known to current programmers. Their gender and facial hair status is not really relevant. "Corner office grump" would be another term that I'd find entirely acceptable: non-gendered, unconcerned with physical appearance, but encapsulating much the same sort of personality that "graybeard" is attempting to evoke.

I agree. I don't think the government should provide any welfare services. Just as I don't think they should artificially skew market equilibrium through minimum wage or rent controls.
Corporate also handles the logistics, aka, most any interaction with the larger economy besides wages.
It does, if you actually bother to read the full comment. A lack of something isn't the only way these emotions form, like any arguably broken emotion the sources can be numerous.
This is really, really significant imo. The idea of system wide tabs has been in the back of my head for a while, as well as moving away from the linux kernel. I've messed around with it a bit and I'm very impressed.

Starting from scratch is awesome, and I'm firmly in the group that we should not strive for backwards compatibility at this stage, and instead aim to maximize intuitiveness for both developers and users.
