Where in Europe (approximately)? Life in rural Bavaria 30km outside of Nürnberg without a car is far more difficult than without one in Nürnberg, within 500m of an U-Bahn station, and Nürnberg isn't that dense.

Non-ownership of a car in the mid-sized Texas city I grew up in basically meant you were unemployable for anything beyond minimum-wage jobs, and even then, employers were apprehensive, because there was a good chance you were going to have trouble getting to work reliably - there, bicycles are children's toys or for spandex-clad enthusiasts to ride on rural roads, not transportation, and the rather minimal bus system is fairly useless for people who don't need to get to the main hospital.

It also takes time to wean from car dependence - it's a mental shift that took me a couple of years to complete, but now that I've made it, it contributes to the reverse culture shock I have when visiting home (central Texas). At this point, I strongly prefer the train for travel to locations in or near the rail network, even if it takes a bit longer, because I find that having to deal with a car limits what I can do. Recreational biking is easier if you can go by train. Not having to stay alert for 3-5 hours (depending on traffic) after a day of skiing means being able to afford to go more often.

Back on topic: when I first found out about Singapore's CoE system and extremely high car sales taxes, I felt awful for them, because I couldn't fathom life without a car. Now, having spent several years as a transit user who shares a car that stays parked most weeks, and having visited Singapore, I completely understand.

Maybe our difference in perspective is due to any restrictions on my car usage after age 16 being by choice (college, moving to a place where the car/transit usage boundary conditions were extremely different from where I grew up).

Please Google, get rid of the camera bulge.

I've use every single pixel from the Nexus line to the pixel to the 6, and the reason I skipped 7 is that the camera bar on the 6 is soo annoying.

It makes the phone 'negatively compatible with wireless charging, that is to say, when I put it on the phone spot in my car, it makes just enough contact with the wireless charger to go in and out of barely-in-range, causing my phone to heat up and lose battery charge.
Thanks!

We did not focus on legacy proprietary format though, but many modern formats are supported.
Traditionally, ffmpeg would build the mp4 container while transcoded media is written to disk (in a single contiguous mdat box after ftyp) and then put the track description and samples in a moov at the end of the file. That's efficient because you can't precisely allocate the moov before you've processed the media (in one pass).

But when you would load the file into a <video> element, it would off course need to buffer the entire file to find the moov box needed to decode the the NAL units (in case of avc1).

A simple solution was then to repackage by simply moving the moov at the end of the file before the mdat (adjusting chunk offset). Back in the day, that would make your video start instantly!
This is my read as well. The ability to record video clips as easily as a person with a keyboard can tweet was the true kindling for the viral fire.

Doesn't seem like that. Any excuse to crap on Musk is celebrated; where others get a pass, for example, Bill Gates is a miserable person who wants everyone to eat fake burgers, visited Epstein Island, and tried to steal Paul Allen's net-worth, then constantly lectures to the plebs as if he is our feudal lord; where's the hate for him? I don't see it. What explains the difference?

I was surprised to learn that U.S. President Garfield devised a proof of Pythagoras' theorem. It got me wondering what other U.S. Presidents had an aptitude for math.

Jefferson (3rd President) was quite fluent in geometry and surveying, designing his home in Monticello.

Jimmy Carter (39th) was a nuclear engineer by training, having worked in the U.S. Navy's nuclear sub program.

I believe that qpack(like hpack) still has some sharp edges. As in...low entropy headers are still vulnerable to leakage via a CRIME[0] style attack on the HTTP/3 header compression.

In practice, high entropy headers aren't vulnerable, as an attacker has to match the entire header:value line in order to see a difference in the compression ratio[1].

Because you can't manipulate errors to gain from them in the same way I think. Hallucination indicates influence is possible, it's dynamic. Error is simply "this didnt work". I'm not certain on this but I feel like the concepts are somehow distinct.
And in every discussion mentioning Android and Apple people see it as some kind of religious debate. I do not care what anyone does or doesn’t use. I have no stake in this and I don’t see it as some kind of argument.

That said, I do know this and your reply is based on either a misunderstanding of my point or optimism/enthusiasm for some kind of argument you seem to think we’re having.

I’m not talking about the built in calculator app, browser, etc.

I’m talking about the operating system version used and targeted for by applications.

Compare an Android fragmentation chart to an iPhone/iOS fragmentation chart.

It’s painfully obvious device support, updates, etc are still a mess in the Android ecosystem.

Talk to any team deploying Android applications and the first pain point you will hear is how ridiculous the fragmentation is compared to iOS.

It’s gotten better but it’s still a mess. Announcements like this are heading more in the right direction but I think it’s painfully clear that Apple got at least this one thing right from the start in their overall approach.
Maybe my physics knowledge is off here. Why would storing a block of material at a constant high temperature be infeasible? Can't we surround the heated material with a forced vacuum to nullify any heat loss, or am I underestimating something like the rate of diffusion through a pinprick in such material?

The fact we don't seem to be able to do this yet suggests I'm missing something, probably several things.

Summarizing the 2 statements (without commenting on their accuracy or veracity):

(1) A statistical smell test: A random dice roll (under reasonable[?] assumptions) achieves an agreement rate of 82%.

(2) unlike the randomness of dice, legal decisions are derived from a deliberative process grounded in law, evidence, and rational argumentation.

Retrics argument appears to be: For (2) to empirically pass (1), the agreement rate between judges and juries must thus be >>82%. The Kalvin-Zeisel study found a rate of 78%.
There are real valuable practices that helps security, and there are practices just break security.

Particularly MITM practice is a net negative. Rolling password resets and bad password requirements are also net negatives. Scanners which does not work as intended, which are not proofed at all and introduce slowness, feature breaks are possible negatives.

Also at some places they introduce predatory privacy nightmares like key loggers, screen recorders..

I like Krita's development ethos, but I really can't use the product at all. If I want software that doesn't respect my intentions, but provides the kitchen sink for functionality, I can find that better represented and supported in Adobe, Paint.Net, Paint Tool Sai; and those are just the raster comparisons. I honestly can't wait until design tools figure out what year it is and start developing blue-sky versions that work with multiple devices and accounts, simultaneously, to provide honed experiences for specific project work. I can't say I blame the lack of corporate sponsors, because I wouldn't - as an organization - find utility in the product.

That said, it's still a shame! Seems like there would be someone out there with similar interests. I hope this post, or whatever else, helps evangelize this as a problem!
Manual rack on the car... it wasn't particularly dangerous, we're talking about a glorified go-kart on a sustained downhill in stop-and-go traffic, the engine just burns fuel pointlessly idling.

The main issue is remembering to put the key back in the ON position so the steering column doesn't lock up. Then it's also ready to resume running, all it takes is selecting a gear and engaging the clutch to bump start the motor... approaching the bottom of the mountain pass.
There is though a fundamental mismatch between TCP, and the problem HTTP (any version) needs to solve: TCP is for sending stream of bytes, reliably and in the same order they were sent. HTTP needs to transmit some amount of data, reliably.

The only aspect of TCP HTTP really wants here is reliability. The order we don’t really care about, we just want to load the whole web page and all associated data (images, scripts, style sheet, fonts…), in a way that can be reassembled at he other end. This makes it okay to send packets out of order, and doing so automatically solves head-of-line blocking.

This is a little different when we start streaming audio or video assets: for those, it is often okay for reliability to take a hit (though any gap must be detected). Losing a couple packets may introduce glitches and artefacts, but doesn’t necessarily renders the media unplayable. (This applies more to live streams & chats though. For static content most would prefer to send a buffer in advance, and go back to sacrifice ordering in order to get a perfect (though delayed) playback.)

In both use cases, TCP is not a perfect match. The only reason it’s so ubiquitous anyway is because it is so damn convenient.

There's literally video and testimony from navy pilots and senior intelligence officials.

Obviously there's no conclusive ship or something, but it's pretty dumb to dimiss this as an "air muffin". Probabilities have shifted.
Example: I'm querying a database, producing a file and storing it in object storage (S3). The dataset is 100 gigabytes in size. I should not require 100 gigabytes of memory or disk space to handle this single operation. It would be slower to write it to disk first.
I'm migrating from Krita to Photoshop lately.

Don't get me wrong, I love Krita. I used it for years and I wrote ~30+ bug reports. It's a positive thing -- I won't bother reporting bugs to Adobe cause I know they don't care, unlike Krita devs.

However every time I need to collaborate with someone else, they use Photoshop. They use .psd like it's an interchangeable format[1]. Out of 10+ artists I've only seen one who doesn't use PS, and it's not Krita.

[1]: I know Krita can read and write .psd.
First: I also need that. It is a pain right now. Second: it would be a good way to rationalize to your managers on how shaky grounds they stand.

Reminds me of tokenization for LLMs. 48 dashes ("------------------------------------------------") is only a single token for GPT-3.5 / GPT-4 (they use the cl100k_base encoding). I suppose since that is used in Markdown. Also "professional illustration" is only two tokens despite being a long string. Whereas if you convert that to a language like Thai it is 17 tokens which sucks in some cases but I suppose tradeoffs had to be made

That’s a really misleading thing to say. If the kernel already has the thing you’re read()’ing cached, then yes the kernel can skip the disk read as an optimization. But by reading, you’re taking those bytes and putting a copy of them in the process’s heap space, which makes it no longer just a “cache”. You’re now “using memory”.

read() is not mmap(). You can’t just say “oh I’ll read the file in and the OS will take care of it”. It doesn’t work that way.

Kernels and device drivers have to read and write from hardware registers. Doing so is fundamentally "unsafe", by Rust's definition. Hardware is a big bag of external state which can often be mutated external to any software running on the CPU. It's a device driver's job to abstract away this unsafe interface and (ideally) try to present a safe one.

That's not to say there aren't benefits to using languages other than C for this stuff. But a Rust kernel will necessarily rely on `unsafe` blocks to do its job.
You can certainly get close enough with straight lines. If you create a parallelogram, you can get it square by making the diagonals the same length.

And if you can determine that the diagonals are the same length, you have what you need to get close enough to a parallelogram in the first place.

Show HN: Pollyanna, a framework for consensual websites from creator of bash.org
Pollyanna is a framework for building community websites with an emphasis on consent and accessibility.

For operators and administrators, Pollyanna supports every released software
version indefinitely, forgoing forced updates or any coercion.

For users and clients, Pollyanna facilitates full account and data ownership
and accessibility. Users should be able to access or not access the service as
they see fit and in whatever way they see fit, as long as it is with the consent
of the operator. Users should be able to see, with full transparency, all the
data and information contained in the service.

Pollyanna bends over backwards to accommodate every user and client,
regardless of their access method of choice, browser and configuration,
connection speed, device type, abilities, and situation.

Pollyanna tries to perpetuate the Any Browser philosophy, and is regularly
tested with a variety of browsers and configurations. In particular, Pollyanna
has been tested with popular versions of Lynx, Mosaic, Netscape, Internet Explorer,
Opera, Firefox, Brave, Safari, and even Google Chrome.

But krita.org says "Special thanks to Intel, Corporate GOLD Sponsor." What's the reconciliation between these two pages?
That's exactly the problem.

Not only that they use privative products - it's that people think about Krita as an alternative to Photoshop, as Krita is intended for digital painting rather than general raster image manipulation. Hence narrowing the target of Krita to a much smaller audience.
Ok so, based on the comments it's basically people who loves Strong Static Types and people who only experience with types is Typescript and they hate it.

I'd say there is still a difference in how the ghosting is likely to affect the person seeking care. Somebody seeking help with plantar fasciitis or urinary troubles might not appreciate being ghosted, but it could be a major roadblock to someone with executive dysfunction, or devastating to someone with social anxiety. There's probably also a bit of a difference in terms of finding someone actually good. Do you know whether you might be better served by a different dermatologist? Your sense of that is probably much less strong than that of someone currently seeing a therapist with the wrong approach for them. I agree that this does happen in all medical specialties and that it's bad everywhere, but it's even worse for therapists to do it.

I could not find that claim in the article, but perhaps you are
referring to an earlier version of the article that the author then
updated? The performance problem with TCP is that it imposes a strict
ordering of the data. The order in which clients receive data is the
same as the order in which servers send data. So if some packet fail
to reach the client, the packet has to be retransmitted before
subsequent packets can be sent (notwithstanding the relatively few
non-ACKed packets that are allowed to be in flight). I think this
problem is what the author is referring to. And that it would be nigh
impossible to get all network equipment that sits between a client and
a server to a more latency-friendly version of TCP.
I'm not so sure that Google's data is even their moat, their monopoly on everything related to ads might be the main thing keeping that so afloat.
No-heat quantum engine makes its debut
One thing where the semantics are not the same between HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2/3(?) is the `Host` header, which is often (always?) gone in the latter in favor off the `:authority` pseudo-header.

Apps/scripts may rely on `Host`, but the underlying HTTP/2 server software might not normalize/expose it in a backwards-compatible way (e.g. Hyper in Rust).

Technically I guess it’s the browsers fault it doesn’t set it.

I would be curious to know if there are other such discrepancies that apps migh run into when enabling HTTP/2/3.
How would a new solution respect your intentions?
And really something more like 2010 is probably a better date for when the iPhone really took off with the 3GS generation. There were obviously earlier smartphones as well (Blackberry, Treo) but they weren't really mainstream devices and didn't especially enable third-party apps.

So, yeah, there was a maybe five year (and certainly less than ten) period when smartphones went from a fairly niche thing to ubiquity which is very fast compared to technology adoption generally.

I like F3D, but it really struggles loading large files and there is no feedback to tell you it is loading.

It would also be cool if it offered conversions between formats (as it clearly demonstrates the ability to take some file and render it, it should be able to reverse that operation in most cases too).

I never knew about the bindings, it may be cool to experiment with some procedurally generated models, or using some form of network model to produce 3D models. I remember from quite some time ago that would procedurally generate star ships [1].
