Interesting, can you share any further reading? A quick Google turns up surprisingly little evidence-based guidance. For what it's worth, I found this Cleveland Clinic general-audience (non-peer-reviewed) article that concludes "the science isn’t strong enough to suggest we should stop buying and burning candles": https://health.clevelandclinic.org/are-candles-bad-for-you

Intuitively, adding any amount of combustion product to the air is bad, but the above article suggests that burning an occasional candle is inconsequential compared to, say, cooking indoors.
Nah, it is just that filmmakers avoid a lot of panning shots because it looks like crap.
It's not a "standard" library though...

It's a nice "toolbox", but definitely not "standard" (word which has a very specific definition).

That's really funny, thanks for sharing.

It's worth to point out that the article tells it was legal to make wine in your own home during the prohibition because of a loophole.
I don't buy that. Why would motion interpolation look better in the store than it does in your own home?
This is fine if you treat your CI provider as a "dumb shell runner". But good CI platforms have actually useful features and APIs (e.g. caching) and if you want to use them, a simple Makefile isn't going to work. For projects where the difference between a cold and warm cache build is tens of minutes, those features have meaningful quality of life improvements.

This may be a tradeoff you're ok with, but for a lot of people, it's not.
A handful of these have been present for years (they weren't new in Monterey)-- specifically the ones replicating keys that are not present on Apple's laptop keyboards (Fn+Delete for forward delete, Fn+Up for page up, Fn+Right for Home, etc.).

The ones that map to OS functionality (rather than to other keyboard keys) are definitely new-ish, though-- like Fn+H to show desktop, or Fn+M for the Apple menu.
There is the alternative of Black frame insertion. It loses a lot of brightness, but helps a lot with stuttering at 24 fps.

The problem that causes stuttering is (simplified) that your eye is moving smoothly to follow something on the screen, whilst the image is moving in discrete steps. So when your eyes expect something fixed in side your view, its actually stuttering.

Black frames make use of a natural image retention in the eye. Where you effectively continue to see the last bright thing. Hence what you expect to be stationary in your field of view does remain stationary.

This was actually key to film based projectors working, because they need a period of black to advance to the next frame. Without image retention it would seem to flicker. Though 24 hz is a bit to slow for that, so they actually added a black period (by just blocking the light) in the middle of each frame to even out the effect. They were already doing BFI, not for motion smoothing, but for flicker smoothing. It seems likely this is accidentally why 24hz film doesn't have stuttering whilst 24hz screens do need it.

Personally I care too much about the brightness loss of BFI, but it might be interesting for you.
I wonder what it would look like if you designed a movie to glitch these settings as badly as possible.
Sometimes I get this feeling that a lot of developers kind of want to be in their code all the time, tending to it. But it’s just not a good use of my time. I want it to work so I can ignore it and move on to the next best use of my time.

I trial upgraded a years old Django project today to 5.0 and it took almost zero work. I hadn’t touched versions (other than patch)in over a year. That’s the way I want it. Admittedly this was less about an LTS and more about sensible design with upgrading in mind.
To paraphrase someone else's reaction, I'm violently shaking my head in disagreement. What you're saying only works when you have 100% full control of everything (including the customer data). As someone who spent years in the enterprise space, what you're describing is akin to 'Ivory Tower Architecture'.

LTS is a commitment. That is all. If someone is uncomfortable with such a commitment, then that's fine, let me free market sort it out. But what LTS does is it tells everyone (including paying customers) that the formats/schemas/APIs/etc.. in that version will be supported for a very long time and if I adopt it, I won't have to think about it or budget too much for its maintenance for a period of time measured in months/years.

I would go the extra mile here and say that offline format should be supported FOREVER. None of that LTS bs for offline data, ever. LTS means that you're accountable for some of the costs in your partnership with the customers. If you move fast and break things, they will have to work extra just to keep up. If you move fast but mindful with back-compat, you will work extra but your customer will be happier. That is all.

Re-reading your comment gives me chills and reinforces my belief that I will never pay money to Google (they have a similar gung-ho attitude against 'legacy garbage') or have any parts of my business depend on stuff which reserves the liberty of breaking shit early and often.

They are in fact quite incorrect. These poor upscale features are horrors crafted in the early days of post-processing nightmares. Half of it was pitched to make football games appear more real. They all murder the soul of the film and jack up delay. The industry even had to invent a synchronized audio mechanism to compensate for the summoning of these Eldridge horrors. What I don’t mind are modern upscalers which look very nice on expensive sets. Other modern features like HDR are also lovely because they focus on reproducing the movie with vibrant lighting. Anyhow, one summer working in a television station will improve your acuity for these things. You might even come to understand how these old creations will be the downfall of civilization.

I have received one of these scam messages in the app - they do indeed contain clickable links which go to a replica of the real website, where customers are asked to input credit card details to "confirm their booking". In my case the message promised "your card will not be charged at this time".

I must say it's a clever approach; generally poor English in messages is a red flag for scams, but you tend to forgive that when you know it's coming from a hotel in another country.
> In Semantic Versioning, there is no way to release or communicate a LTS/"long term support" version of a package. In Pragmatic Versioning, this is solved with a BIGRELEASE version, which has meaning that can be controlled by the package author.

That doesn't make sense to me.

With semantic versioning the way you communicate a LTS version of a package is you declare that in your documentation. Django (which doesn't fully use SemVer, but is still a good example here) does that on this page: https://www.djangoproject.com/download/#supported-versions

"In Pragmatic Versioning, this is solved with a BIGRELEASE version, which has meaning that can be controlled by the package author" - that doesn't appear to address the need for LTS communication at all. It feels like the situation is exactly the same as SemVer: if you want to do LTS you have to represent that outside of the version number.
Critically, he is not going to jail for intentionally crashing the plane. He is being jailed "for obstructing a federal investigation by deliberately destroying the wreckage of an airplane."

Had he cooperated, it's plausible to see him getting away with a license revocation and fine. Instead he did this:

"In the weeks following the plane crash, Jacob lied to investigators that he did not know the wreckage’s location. In fact, on December 10, 2021, Jacob and a friend flew by helicopter to the wreckage site. There, Jacob used straps to secure the wreckage, which the helicopter lifted and carried to Rancho Sisquoc in Santa Barbara County, where it was loaded onto a trailer attached to Jacob’s pickup truck.

Jacob drove the wreckage to Lompoc City Airport and unloaded it in a hangar. He then cut up and destroyed the airplane wreckage and, over the course of a few days, deposited the detached parts of the wrecked airplane into trash bins at the airport and elsewhere, which was done with the intent to obstruct federal authorities from investigating the November 24 plane crash."

You are partially correct describing that some delivery drivers already batch their orders. But that's still a different use case. Foodsby can't scale to 15 min increments for all restaurants in the city. While some people can preplan and are OK ordering food from a specific restaurant that Foodsby works with, most people don't want that. How many people want to order food from an expensive Spanish (i.e. Spanish, not Mexican) restaurant I order from sometimes? So my options are going to be: #1 not ordering from this restaurant because it's not a common food preference and is expensive or #2 wait for 15 people to join the order for this restaurant and get food hours or days later.

It's a good business idea, it's just a different usage pattern. I order food when I am hungry. I don't preplan, don't like food from the majority of popular local places (pizza, Mexican, Chinese).

I've bounced around a few companies, and all the smartest people I know are in the semiconductor industry. Some of them - self-proclaimed hardware engineers - would write better code than what I've seen come out of lifelong software devs. They have crazy deep, specialised knowledge on so many fields it boggles the mind.

There's no real divide between startups and corporations in terms of talents from what I perceived. The industry was in general seething with talent.

I've worked with some amazing engineers, including multiple whose blog posts regularly get posted here. None of them have egos or consider code review feedback personal attacks.

It's not like you're being told to never use for loops. Code review feedback such as the following is all objective, beneficial to the reader, and not worth pushing back against:

* This logic should live in [other component]
* Our RPCs are named as GetFoo, not DetermineFoo
* That function name does not make it obvious what this code does, please change it
* This needs a test
* This is untestable and needs to be refactored to support X

If anyone on my team ever described themselves as in "a war of attrition" with another teammate I'd fire them.
> stop mowing for some months and they will come

I have to reply here. The problem is not the mowing of the lawn:

The problem is the lawn itself!

The thing to do about the lawn, if you want to do the right thing, is:

Clear off the grass!

Edit: This comment was way too long. Congrats to those of you who read it before I shortened it.

The crux of the matter is:

Grass will absolutely kill wildflower, so if you want a pretty flower carpet, clear off the grass before you sow. Remove it with roots, and by hand, as a machine will only chop it up and it will regenerate from there killing your flowers. Start with a small patch the first year. Also, pick any wildflower mix, even if cheap. Once the grass is gone it will grow nicely. You do not have to tend it. Just sow it, and leave it.

> Monarch

Please, the Monarch is not the only butterfly around. Besides, monoculture is NEVER good, not even a focus on one particular butterfly type. There are several, some visible by day, and even more (not very visible) at night.

What's more, there are beetles, bees, all kinds of weird flys and whatever kind of insects in absolutely fascinating colours and looks that seems taken right out of a LLM model, so weird it is. Sit by your patch daily after it comes up - even if just for 10-15 minutes - if you have curiosity, you will be amazed.
Yeah absolutely true. I’ve seen some Samsung brand TVs do a really bad job of it (also their colours are terribly over saturated by default), where I’ve found the LGs do a good job (at least the c and g series).

I don't think the people buying spycams off Amazon are too surprised when a spycam arrives. If Amazon had put a big banner at the top of the page saying "this is a third party product, it seems skethy af" I doubt any of the purchasers would change their behavior. Certainly no one at Amazon duped someone into accidentally setting up a bathroom cam.

Spycams are legal to sell in the US, and it is the responsibility of owners of cameras to use them legally. I wouldn't expect a brick and mortar store to certify that the products they sell are impossible to be 'used to “infringe privacy,” “surreptitiously record others for sexual purposes,” or “create and store child sex abuse material”' and be held liable when one of their products is used as such. Perhaps the sale of such cameras should be more regulated, but it shouldn't be Amazon's place to decide that the law is insufficient and fix it.

The *COMPLETE* list of 27" 5K Displays? – MacRumors Forums
> Kubernetes is _not_ more complicated than the Linux kernel, but it is much more dangerous to upgrade in place.

eh, the kernel is an incredibly mature project with 1 machine scope. The kernel also has decades of operating systems research and literature to build on. Kubernetes in comparison is new, distributed and exploring uncharted territory in terms of feature set and implementation. Sometimes bad decisions are made, and it's fair to not want to live with them forever.

The kernel project looks very different today than it did in 1999.

There is a happy medium though, especially that Kubernetes is kinda far from it.
Because software versioning is non-linear. A security patch to a previous LTS version can be newer than a new version of the software.
The Sony tax is because ads on Sony TVs can all be turned off. Plenty of TVs have their price subsidized by ads, where as when going through initial setup, I've had Sony TVs with ads disabled by default and questions asking if you want to turn them on.

Sadly disabling "recommended content" on the Google TV launcher also disabled voice search from the remote, but I am pretty sure that is a Google problem and not something Sony chose.

(Also my Sony TV cannot stay connected to my WiFi network for more than half an hour before I have to toggle WiFi on and off again...)

These types of (official) articles are frustrating. They're disabling a security mechanism in trade for performance (concerning to some, unimportant to others). The issue is that "gamers" will take this article as gospel and fail to understand:

> Microsoft has seen that in some scenarios and some configurations

Microsoft used to have a support.microsoft.com article for disabling various Windows Services to "improve performance". Fairly certain that was written by an intern who was copying the "BlackVipr" guide, which in and of itself was flawed/incorrect yet gospel.

> I believe it’s relevant if you want to convince others

You didn't address my point. Anyone who believes being broad is a bad thing is making my own case for me, to me. You can either believe that it's okay for "podcast" to be a broad term, or you can believe that whether or not "show" is too broad is irrelevant. You can't have both.

> But you also said (twice) “call it what it is”

That was an error in editing.

I said it's fine to call it streaming. And which is something that people already say, except people refuse to label themselves that way when trying to present themselves as being serious, because "podcast" has cachet and "stream" invites people to laugh at you and say "OK, zoomer".

All podcasters are streamers. Not all streams are podcasts. Spotify's, for example, are not.
A lot of Americans can't "reasonably" spend $25+ on a single delivery meal but do anyway, probably quite often on 25% APR credit cards
Many comments here disagreeing about LTS just because it won't be up-to-date – are missing a critical point.

When people run a rolling release on their server, their original intent is "Yay I'll force myself to be up-to-date". Reality is, they get conflicts on installed 3rd party software in each upgrade. What ends up happening is, they get frozen on some point in time, without even security patches for a long time.

k8s is like an OS, it's not just the core components, there is <ingress/ gateway/ mesh/ overlays/ operators/ admission controllers/ 3rd party integrations like vault, autoscalers, etc>. Something or the other breaks with each rolling release. I've grown really tired of the way GKE v1.25 pretends to be a "minor" automated upgrade, when it removes or changes god knows how many APIs.

This is what is happening in kubernetes land. The broken upgrade fatigue is real, but it's hampered by wishful thinking.
