I’m personally not a dev, maybe amateur dev, but I am a professional I.T. consultant and sysadmin, and I have used and thoroughly enjoyed Twilio’s tools for years. They are accessible enough for even low-skill amateur devs like me to be able to spin up test programs and functions that do really cool things. I am heartened to hear that my longtime support has gone to a company whose culture and leadership have been worthy. Hoping for the best to everyone involved.

> I don't expect my kid to understand that its normal play fighting

In Cartoons, characters do all kinds of things that aren't real. They don't watch fighting and then think "oh hey I should be fighting kids", any more than they think "oh hey I should be dropping an anvil on a coyote". Their brains are more complex than that.

You are projecting your fears on the kid, but fear isn't rational. I recommend finding out for certain how cartoons have an effect on the psyche of a child. Look up some general psychology and child psychology. Confirm whether these biases and assumptions are real or not. Use knowledge and facts, not fear, to dictate your choices.

The problem is that when public figures come out and say "there's no evidence...", they aren't assuming the public are smart and capable of understanding nuance and able to fill in gaps.

At least in the COVID context, they were worried that any nuance would confuse the public, so they simply gave the simplified, dumbed down version.

Of course it backfired a bit. I honestly don't know what's the optimal play for them, but it seems a bit revisionist to say that they assumed the public was capable of filling in the gaps...

This sounds like the perfect use case for Linux. Regardless, there are plenty of options outside the mac world. I also recommend: beelink ser7. Particularity since it supports USB4 which is compatible with Thunderbolt. It means you can expand it in the future with external PCI cards. Also it supports ddr5, which is quite neat. Linux will let you play old games via steam and then more.

The results of the survey will be analyzed and presented in a benchmark report, aiming to give bootstrapped founders some of the data and insights about what is working across the startup landscape and what you might want to consider as you compete with data-rich, VC-backed startups.
That's not such a big deciding factor for me, and I am happy to pay for Emby. When I evaluated my move off Plex, Jellyfin was not nearly as refined as I would have liked.

I might give Jellyfin a go at some point. Since they all are children of XBMC, I assume that the metadata format is the same, meaning all my thumbnails, posters, trailers, subtitles and so on can stay in the filesystem next to the media and it'll "just work" with Jellyfin.

> Why would anyone think a two-hour buffer for something so critical would be appropriate?

This sort of negligence is intentional. My guess would be it started as a requirement for analog recording and was carried over without change and purposefully left at two hours when equipment went digital. The fact that EU has a 25 hour length requirement and the FAA refuses to update their rules to extend to some reasonable length tells us everything we need to know about this situation.
Thank you to everyone for their feedback!
I see there are a few features not available on my phone (iPhone 15 Pro Max). If possible it would be great if the feature icons could turn grey if they aren’t supported on the current device
They aren't even close to performance per watt.

M2 Mini maxes out at 50w and when I do full loads it usually doesn't go above 40w.

It gets a Geekbench score of 2633 single core and 9750 multicore.

5800u is 1641 single core and 6451 multicore.

Significantly more performance at half the power draw. Likely 4x the performance per watt.

Exploring the Role and Importance of Key-Value Databases in Modern Development
"Hey HN community! I've been curious about the growing prevalence of key-value databases in modern development. What are your thoughts on their role and importance in today's tech landscape?

How has the use of key-value databases evolved in recent years?
What specific scenarios or applications do you find key-value databases to be particularly well-suited for?
Are there any challenges or considerations that developers often face when working with key-value databases?
Do you believe key-value databases will continue to play a crucial role in future software development, or do you see other emerging technologies taking their place?
I see this having a real future in some special cases, but for this price not as a general use tech. I saw a movie where a guy was repairing a ship with some AR (not VR) glasses/eyepiece that was identifying the parts he was looking at and helping with information on what is that, what it does, how to assemble or disassemble etc. Like having the instructions in your hands while having your hands free to work. Voice commands should be included. But creating the app showing the instructions and then loading good models and information in the app is probably the big challenge.

I work in manufacturing, there are so many maintenance operations and a limited amount of experts that can do it. With the right price and the right apps and docs, this can make a huge difference.
Good Goals Gone Bad
> Whether or not a "technical barrier" exists is a non-sequitur. Just because you can get a $10 audio recorder on aliexpress that records 200 hours, doesn't mean it takes $10 to implement this change per plane.

I bet many investigators would be very happy with the aliexpress implementation ...
Same reason why the car industry encountered chip shortages, despite there being plenty of chips. They don't want to have to go through the time and expense of re-certifying everything due to all of the red tape. As a result, you end up with the system "that always worked fine".
I wish they paniced. I'm talking about trees of function calls with variations on “err = thing(); if err: return err” multiple times in a function, so receiving an error code in the root function tells you very little about what went wrong or where it went wrong.

No, this is how people pirate stuff. This is a thorough but not comprehensive list of apps to serve the needs for managing, downloading, streaming, and otherwise working with different forms of media.

If you've ever gone down this path, it's a great way to see the value proposition in a service like Netflix or Prime. It's also great to highlight where the value gets diminished because of the legacy media dark patterns like migrating content licenses between providers and region restrictions.

Our current copyright regime is what happens when legislation is pay to play. There are no conscientious, well informed representatives in charge looking out for the welfare of their constituents, but they're more than happy to dance on corporate strings, as long as the strings are paid for. No rational, well informed society would consent to being exploited by an industry like American legacy media, but here we are.

Piracy is an act of civil disobedience. Nobody gets hurt, and the sooner we come around to a better informed, more rational, less exploitative legal regime, the sooner we'll have more time, money, and energy to spend on things that matter. Instead of spending it on keeping the already wealthy even more flush with unearned cash.

Imagine if Netflix or Prime didn't have to contend with the old Cable conglomerate licensing schemes and could both have copies of content available for viewing - you could choose the objectively, technically better service, or you could choose the service that you simply liked better than the others.

Instead, we're incentivized to pay over and over and over again for the same things, with no value being provided except to the gatekeepers.

If something is published to the internet that is not behind a paywall, it's been broadcast to the universe. Just like google is able to index things, machine learning models fall squarely under fair use in the technical and technological sense.

NYT and other legacy media companies don't give a flying rat's ass about the ethics of copyrights or the rights of their journalists. They desperately want a slice of the profits and are projecting their entitlement through the use of lawyers and a horribly broken and corrupt copyright regime.

Their behavior is a lot like the classic Mafia extortion trope - "it'd be a shame if something happened to your fancy new AI techology."

As far as I'm concerned, legacy media can't die fast enough. These media conglomerates mostly made sense 70 years ago. In a world with the internet, they're as archaic and outdated as quill pens and vellum.
Why do people have to constantly degrade the legitimate science going on between the question of man-made electromagnetic radiation and human health?

One of the biggest differences between light and electromagnetic waves created by humans is that they are polarized. Light waves are not polarized they are scattered. Light waves are also not pulsed.

Cancer? Maybe. What about cataracts? What about tinnitus? What about mood disturbances? What about Parkinson’s?

EMFs affect our neurology and it’s been published and papers over and over. There are non-thermal effects in biological beings that are underplayed by the industry.

Is this going to affect everyone the same way? No. Because genetics matter. The fact that electromagnetic radiation seems to stimulate voltage gated ion channels will mean that people with, different genetics in these ion channels will have different effects to electromagnetic radiation.

And in fact, I am one of these people who are sensitive to it. Both low frequency and radio frequency, EMF cause mood, disturbances, insomnia, and tinnitus. And when, using laptops with high levels of low frequency electromagnetic radiation i have nosebleeds. Other people have seen this happened to me in real time.

I’m sure that’s all in my head though right?

should outweigh the pilots' privacy concerns

Reading between the lines, I think the concern is that pretty much any flight might contain minute violations of things like the "sterile flight deck rule"[1] and it would probably be easy to find a reason to fire any given pilot if airlines could just comb through endless amounts of recordings.

Sorry if you were looking for a single SNP or something simple. If that was the case this would have been found long ago. Same goes for a b vitamin. Giving vitamin b wont "cure them all". This is complex and happy to discuss over phone / email if you are serious about understanding it.
Yep, that what my mindset is while reading it. Although it's too late to completely stop it, we can only limit it's damage and impact if we want to.

I still blame the US elections of 2000 and 2016 for most of this and I go to my grave with that.
The 5800u is a 25w chip, though.

The MX chips are ARM so the idle draw is probably better on the Mac, but for most tasks I don't understand how the Ryzen would be disqualified. It's probably the best low-power x86 solution on the market right now; you're missing out if you haven't seen what the Steam Deck can do at 10w.
I think we're saying the same thing, that it's not the same as 3D video.

Totally fine to say their version of it is bad because you can only change perspective very little. But saying it's "only" 3D would I think confuse people more, since it'd be wrong.

If privacy is the concern then it seems it would need to be bound to a certain protocol where in the event of an anomaly the transcript continues on for some extremely long time effectively unbounded by typical flight scenarios. The current situation acts as a backdoor to deletion.

Not necessarily, could very well be that US planes are shipped without 25 hours of recording capacity.
Why stop at 25? Record all of every flight and archive it.

Develop a standardized structure to make it searchable by different factors or combinations of factors (e.g., 777 model later than Z & decending & outside temp < X & throttle is > Y & etc.) When there's an accident, you could review similar circumstances.

From my ignorant perspective on air safety, it would seem to be a gold mine.
As someone who eats almost exclusively vegan I think it would be great as the whole world faces these issues, we see lots of switches to eating tofu or plant based foods.

Way cheaper. Can’t get so fat and unhealthy. And far healthier since most vegans and vegetarians live long and healthy lives compared to other groups.

Poke tastes great with tofu btw. We shouldn’t destroy the oceans.

Having worked at these large companies, I can almost guarantee that what happened was something unintentional or silly versus nefarious.

Is it horrible or is it reversion to the mean? Post-COVID hiring and pay was completely unsustainable, and I'm shocked it lasted as many years as it did.

The widespread switch to epoll(7)-based I/O systems has taken a big bite out of strace's usefulness for me.

Back when most programs did most of their I/O synchronously or with select(2)/poll(2), it was really easy to use strace to track down slow network services. If you wanted to figure out why a process was taking too long, you could strace it, grab the file descriptor numbers that it was spending a long time reading/writing/selecting/polling, feed those into lsof and turn them into network addresses/ports, then shell into those remote hosts and see what it was doing with the slow client's connection (e.g. if the remote host was a MySQL database you could check what queries were running on its connection/session; if it was a RabbitMQ you could see what queues its connection was operating on).

Don't get me wrong: strace is still an incredibly useful tool every Linux developer, no matter where they are in the stack, should know (Julia Evans made that case better than I could[1]). I also understand why I/O systems switched to more "file descriptor opaque" tools like epoll/kqueue/io_uring, which makes sense and brings a lot of benefits. I just miss the transparency of the old APIs a little bit, you know?

Goes back to static vs. dynamic/interactive. That’s fine for static content but falls apart when you need a table view that can be edited, sorted, reordered, can have columns resized/rearranged, and can contain thousands of rows (necessitating recycling of table row DOM elements to maintain performance and efficiency).

This sort of view has been table stakes for desktop UI frameworks for decades and is a common need.

Is this in response to the alien comment.
"This seems deeply flawed."

Really? The scientific method is flawed.

The OP had a funny alien example, so someone stretched and came up with a silly 'test' for a hypothesis of the alien ate the turnip.

That doesn't mean 'testing' is flawed way of determining 'evidence'.
