Same, in Skyfall he is quite a complex character who fails in numerous ways.

It’s actually a good movie because he is flawed, at least in my opinion.

I personally like the older bonds for the travel scenery, stunts, music girls and cars. The character is somewhat annoying although the cheesy comedy can be fun some times. I love the ski scenes in some of the movies too.

I’m in a different discipline (classical music performance) where the demand for perfection is omnipresent; so as with you, performance anxiety is commonplace. I strongly recommend “The Confident Mind” by Nate Zinsser, PhD.

The book is difficult to summarize succinctly but it addresses a systematic approach to building confidence both in terms of a background mental state and in terms of execution. The methodology involves constantly mining the past and present for positive material to build a “bank account” of these moments. One exercise that I find helpful is the ESP journal (Effort, Success, Progress) It’s a structured daily journal done in bullet format that links up honest skill-building effort to observable progress and then success, however narrow. Other parts of the method involve detailed visualization exercises.

He also talks about the immediate pre-performance routine that you can run through, CBA. C = Cue your mantra (“I’ve got this. Time to shine.) B = Breathe deeply into the body. A = Attach your attention. CBA. I find the attention part the most helpful. The anxious mind spins off into every unproductive direction imaginable. By consciously deciding to focus the mind to a particular element of the performance you can help prevent that. In music it would be something like the decision to focus only on the attack of each note. In standup presentations, sometimes else, vocal quality, the sense of groundedness in my feet, etc.

He also has a chapter on post-performance review. Unsurprisingly, it’s about letting in only positive aspects. There’s a role for taking an honest look at what can be done to work on skills; but it’s all cast in the light of positivity. Much of confident performance is about deluding oneself into that state…

Sorry this is a little scattered; it’s from memory. I’ve recommended the book to many students and colleagues.
It was a huge cultural moment. If you look at the impact of the 88 euros and subsequent world cups, we had songs, books, movies. And then, it all just died because someone never put the cones out for training, on a field in japan

> HTTP/2 makes the browsing experience of high-latency connections a lot more tolerable. It also makes loading web pages in general faster.

HTTP/3 does that in my experience (lots of train rides with spotty onboard Wi-Fi) quite a bit better though. As HTTP/2 is still affected by head-of-line blocking and a single packet loss can block all other streams, even if the lost packet didn't hold data for them.

> The parent said that there's no good alternative to CSS,

No, the parent said he prefers CSS to the design systems he used with C++, Java and Swift.

While I agree with the general thrust of your comment, note that a) this is specifically adressed in Daniel's blog post b) He stated the reason why it's not happening right now multiple times already, and they seem well thought out. (Basically, the code base is huge and not easily converted, and there is no compiler support for some of the platforms libcurl supports).

Engineering is based on trade offs. In this specific case, the answer is no, unfortunately. This does of course not absolve new or smaller projects of this critique, but let's give curl a pass on this one.

One of the saddest parts of the science fiction novel _Aurora_ is that natural born human populations will have serious problems permanently separated from the larger ecosystem they're evolved for.

It's a valid hypothesis. Humanity would need to have an entire engineered biosphere to replace the biome living in our guts, our eyes, our . . everywhere. And anywhere we find that's close enough to Earth to live in, will have . . something else . . almost certainly[1] already there.

Kim Stanley Robinson isn't an easy read if you're on the other side of the political spectrum, but Aurora is comparatively free of his standard preachiness, at least in my ears. I actually disagree with his primary thesis of Aurora, and the novel suffers from some fundamental problems as a story, but the point is still salient. Humans will have to build their own Earth, wherever they end up, either out there or back here. I have a funny feeling we won't learn to treasure our own planet until we find out how much work it is to live on another.

I’m not cherry-picking, I’m comparing the actual real-world experience of using password autofill vs. using a passkey.

The significantly better passkey sign-in UX that I’m talking about exists on all major platforms. And the UX is handled by browser and operating system APIs, so it’s not really something the app or website can mess up.

Also, any solution that still involves password-based login prompts would be worse than passkeys because passwords are still shared secrets, and password hashes would remain juicy targets for attackers in server breaches.

Deaths during construction of the Panama Canal were overwhelmingly from tropical diseases, notably yellow fever and malaria:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_measures_during_the_con...>

The transmission of yellow fever by mosquitos was established by Maj. Walter Reed, US Army, the physician for whom Walter Reed Hospital is named:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Reed>

The shear lethality of tropical diseases to Europeans prior to the 20th century really cannot be overstated. I'd run across a statistic that the life expectancy of a British soldier stationed to Africa was on the order of six months:

In 1824 half the 600 soldiers garrisoned in the Gold Coast died within a few months, and the House of Commons was told in 1826, that of 1,567 troops sent out in the previous two years, 905 had died. Europeans died mainly from malaria and yellow fever - or from the “cures” which were nearly as dangerous as the ailments. Blood-letting was common. Leeches were standard colonial surgical equipment, being placed on the patients shaved head to “suck out” the fever. Great blisters were raised with steaming cloths or mustard packs and then broken to drain away the fever. On the same principle, salivating was induced by calomel, often at the expense of the victim’s teeth, or by quicksilver and mercury, an even more drastic “treatment” that inflamed the mouth and sometimes caused the sick man to suffocate on his own swollen tongue.

Drawing a distinction between death by disease and by accident may be somewhat arbitrary, but still seems a distinction worth noting.

> why does basically no one ever write directly to the Web Components standard?

Web components provide a life cycle (mounted, unmounted, attribute changed) and an encapsulation mechanism; but they aren't reactive. They don't rerender when you change an attribute or a property. They don't have a concept of local state, whose changes would result in a rerender. Html templates don't have a convenient syntax for binding properties or events. Lit adds all this convenience, with very little code. The result is that the web components that it produces remain standard and interoperable, but are also much more pleasant to author than plain components.

Nobody is talking about benefits. There will be mis-/disinformation on the internet, that is an inevitable fact. It would be more damaging to suggest a false sense of authenticity.

People will learn and adapt to the environment where information is provided. Harm from information control can be more easily demonstrated by a few margins, read propaganda.

To ask what benefits misinformation provides is just skipping the relevant discussion in the first place.
If one has a reasonable understanding of 2 concepts that make up a larger system. And, such a system has little else in addition to those concepts, one is able to come up with that system by itself. Even though, it has never seen it, or their composition was never explained prior to that logical process.

The illusion happens when, clearly, the alleged reasoning behind how such a system comes to be is based on prior knowledge of the system as a whole. Meaning, its construction/source was within the training data.
Slightly off-topic, but is there a way to disable some of the photo processing on iPhones?

For example, iPhones automatically brighten people once they detect a face, which is especially noticeable when taking photos against the light. It ruins the contrast and makes the photo look really bad.

I'm wondering what was the overall effect on prices in the end.

Did the prices really increased by 15%?

Or did the bids, specially the second highest, roughly dropped by 15% meaning the price stayed the same.

Or something in the middle.
I struggled with this for years (decades, actually) and used similar reasoning as the sibling comments. And it doesn’t work.

Funnily enough the solution is very simple, but you need to have a list of goals you want to reach. Everything that helps you get closer to fulfilling your goals is important, everything else is unimportant.

Passkeys are now enabled by default for Google users (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37832585) (264 points | 543 comments)
To me, it's unclear what the headache is. If the argument is about the consequences of passkeys for most ordinary people, most people are signed into their google account on their mobile device. In that case, your account is compromised anyway if your device authentication is breached.

For Google in particular, password/passkey isn't a binary choice(currently). You can fall back to the password sign-in flow if your device doesn't have a passkey.

I think you gotta buy a more professional camera app to fix stuff like that, and even that doesn’t work for some things.

I’m always pissed about bad the iPhone is at taking photos of rainy days.
first some people use it as a status symbol, naturally they will buy the pro no matter if useful or not

then there are tons of semi-professional (semi wrt. photo/video capture, not wrt their job) people on platforms like YT, TickTock and similar which do only use their phone for capturing, they probably love this

lets also not forget the people which aspire success on YT, TickTock and others

similar a lot of hobby photographers don't bother with dedicated technology anymore so they might like that, too

and the people which don't carry around a laptop (e.g. on holiday trips or even business trips) but might want to send slightly improved photos from there isn't small either

anyway I guess the main selling point is like "not locking poor" for thos with confidence issues or more likely bad luck to live in less healthy social circles
It appears the Forth Bridge cost about 3.2 million GBP, which would be 470 million GBP today (according to https://www.officialdata.org/uk/inflation/1870?amount=3.20 )

It's 2.4 km long which puts it at about $200 million GBP / km.

The East Span of the Bay Bridge cost 6.5 billion USD in 2013 which would be 8.5 billion USD today or just shy of 7 billion GBP. It is 3.5 km long which puts it at $2 billion GBP / km.

It appears that the over-engineering yielded a cheaper result per kilometre and that more expensive projects will quite readily be funded, up to 10x higher.

You can use one of the React-Virtualized components without the slightest idea how it works. TableView from SwiftUI is the same thing - a component that implements virtualization on top of the base GUI library for you.

React is not a UI framework, it's a low level reactive library with very limited scope - even the DOM bindings are shipped separately, and it can be used for much more than just GUI, for example VR experiences or cloud infrastructure deployment. Bring your own batteries.

Since Apple sources their camera chips from Sony, the more relevant question is how Sony's flagship (the Xperia 5 V?) stacks up with its Sony IMX888 vs the Sony IMX803 in the apple. It used to be that Sony's flagship had a slightly better imaging sensor than the Apple flagship, but I don't think that's the case any more.
At any rate, Android doesn't seem to provide an API that exposes log/raw-ish sensor data for video (although for stills, it's been there since 2015).

Then I'm told Google has a very strict security policy, and accounts cannot be changed in any way by support. So going through the recovery process is the ONLY way back into my account. So the call ends with them saying "I'm so sorry I can't help you." [1]

>And anywhere we find that's close enough to Earth to live in, will have . . something else . . almost certainly[1] already there.

*No* place is going to be "close enough" to Earth to live in: the closest star system is 4 light-years away, and will take tens of thousands of years to travel to with anything remotely like current technology. The only way we're going to find another planet "close enough to Earth to live in" is if we invent a real, working, practical FTL drive. That's not terribly likely. Well, there is one other possibility: some glowing blue alien substance called "protomolecule" is discovered in our solar system and somehow (through a long, twisting plot arc) takes over an asteroid with 100k people, assimilates their biological matter, crashes on Venus, then travels to the outer system and builds a Ring Gate. Anyway...

Basically, we're stuck with this planet, the not-at-all-like-Earth worlds near it, and the other resources of this system.

The only real way we're going to create a viable, Earth-like colony is to build an O'Neal Cylinder.
There is little evidence that earthquakes come as precursors to larger earthquakes. Most papers reporting such things have selection bias since they are written after the big earthquake occurred.
To date these Puget Sound samples with a second, independent method, we analyzed individual tree-ring sequences for a jump in annual radiocarbon concentrations associated with an extreme solar proton event (30, 31). This rapid, large magnitude (~10‰) radiocarbon excursion between the years 774 and 775 CE is recorded globally in tree cellulose and can therefore be used as an exact geochronological anchor point (30, 32, 33)

They found more exact dates because a massive solar storm in the past changed carbon isotopes worldwide, which is reflected in tree rings that grew during the storm. That's incredibly cool.
Quite right, this shows how little I actually looked at it.
