It's so weird how whenever this topic comes up on HN, a bunch of people appear who all say 'nope, impossible, don't even try, you'll never achieve reliable delivery to [2 big names]'

Meanwhile a bunch of other people are saying 'despite many people here reporting issues, once I got the software installed, it works fine for me'

Really makes you think
I can see your perspective, and it would be reasonable for them to say, "I already know this guy's work. He doesn't have to do the take-home.", which is not like saying, "I already know this guy from [irrelevant source]." I would do this, and have before.

You also could have just smiled and nodded and actually done a good job to demonstrate your skills. It looks to me like you pulled your punches.
> It is only later that I decided it was more interesting to write stories set in our good, old, complicated Earth than to try to reinvent it.

Wouldn't you basically run in to the same problem? If the world you want your story to be based in happens to be our own Earth, you still have to change it, simplify it for whatever you're writing.
I agree that it's possible, and that the majority of utility websites do use a backend to provide their utility, but it seems curlconverter.com doesn't make any requests to a website to convert and instead does so in javascript.

It would be nice if more sites offered themselves as PWAs that worked when you set "throttling" to "offline" in the dev menu, so that you could ensure that no data is leaving the browser when working with sensitive info.
Sorry about that, I rarely post questions on HN. Forgot to add the "Ask HN: "

Years back a coworker and I were having a small interpersonal disagreement. My supervisor declined to get involved, basically told us to sort it out without wasting work time.

It wasn’t anything serious enough to involve HR (in my eyes anyway), but I spent a solid while annoyed with this response. It took me a solid five years to realize he had made the right overall decision.

He had not played favorites, did not burn any bridges, and caused at worst a mild annoyance to both of us rather than potentially leading one of us to quit.

>There are, to be sure, valid business reasons for all three services to have not built a native app; the latest prediction from Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo put first-year sales at around 500,000 units, which as a tiny percentage of these services’ user bases may not be worth the investment

Except for the fact the iPhone users spend 7x more on apps than Android users[1]. And it would be safe to assume Vision Pro users are on the higher end of having extra money to spend.

Apple has made a clear definition for "Rich AF" iOS users and app makers are trying to look the other way? Their loss. Hell, even having a list of iPhone users that pre-ordered the Vision Pro is worth targeting $$$$

That's great we can reduce sand usage, because while it might seem like there's lots of sand much of it isn't suitable for use in construction.

While the reduction in construction sand usage is great it's environmental impact is mainly due to the mining operations to get it. What really needs more focus is to stop using Portland cement based concrete. The massive carbon footprint of the creation of Portland cement is one of these things that environmentalist seem to ignore. They tell us drive electric cars reduce air travel so on and so forth all of these things that impact individuals but make a very small dent in environmental impact. Switching away from Portland cement based concrete and into geopolymer-based ones is a massive reduction in carbon emissions. People talk about Big oil and the environment and that's all the red herring compared to the carbon footprints of Portland cement. It seems and no one in the cement industry really cares about eliminating Portland cement.

People react to me fine.

I invite you to do something I bet you've never done before. This week, as you are interacting with people in real life, watch their faces carefully throughout the entire conversation.

You're going to learn something about yourself. You're not going to enjoy it. But then the question is, what are you going to do about it?
If I was another employee or applicant, I would be legitimately upset if someone didn't have to jump through the same hoops that I did simply because he knew the boss.
That's not what he's saying here though.

The other story you are referencing is "this was an expensive education in which you have learnt to not do stupid stuff".

This is framed as "this was an expensive learning opportunity for us to learn that we have a gap in our systems that allowed this downtime to happen".

These are different sentiments! To me the above quote is very explicitly the latter and directly refutes the notion of "this was expensive training for you" by stating that it's impossible for an individual to apply that learning in a way that would recoup the loss.

The ability to tell time while giving Apple more money?
Unfortunately he didn't use quaternions in his initial formulation (that was all split into xyz coordinates) and in his later revision he took apart the quaternions into scalar and vectors parts. It could have been so much prettier....but luckily we have geometric algebra for that today.

On the other hand he did derive the electric and magnetic fields from a scalar and potential field. In that sense Heaviside made a step backwards.
My partner and I started a business and employed a friend of 20 years who struggled getting work, possibly due to him losing his right hand… then he would come into work high out of his mind (or low, as in street bought pain killers)… he was like an alien. So we let him go.

6 months later we gave him another chance after he quit the drugs. But around two years after that, he had car troubles so we gave him a loan of £5K to help buy a car, he would pay towards it regularly and managed to pay around £1K before leaving and never contacting us again. 20 year friendship over and he essentially scammed us for £4K. That was 2021.

Don’t employ friends.

> I wouldn't want to read an encyclopedia listing millions of fictional people and what they do in their life.

Best avoid Malazan Book of the Fallen, then. It's a fantasy series written by an anthropologist and archeologist that's also based on the events in a GURPS tabletop roleplaying campaign. It's a replay (at least in part) written like it's a history. It's got over 600 named characters.
Like all technologies, there will be risks and negative outcomes.

Just look at books. At some point a married woman read a romance book that depicted an unrealistic male character who wanted nothing but to satisfy any desire of the woman in the book. And after reading that book she became unhappy in her marriage because her husband would never be like that character.

Is that a bad thing?
1) The time it takes for the panels to recoup their costs is already long.

2) Now the panels have to be removed and re-installed any time those parts of the roof are worked on. That's expensive. Roofing companies tend not to like solar. You'll have trouble getting a warranty on the work if you've got solar, and likely pay a premium for a company that'll provide one (on top of the much higher labor costs) by finding a company that does both solar and roofing.

3) If work ever needs to be done on the panels, and it doesn't fall under a warranty, it'll be more expensive than ground-level.

4) There's a greater chance of something going wrong with all the above because solar adds more components to the whole system of the roof, aside from punching a bunch of holes in it.

The higher costs and risks plus naturally long pay-off period mean I don't plan to ever pay for rooftop solar again. Wish I hadn't this time.
I'd love to see a real analysis instead of anecdotes, and particularly one that separates Tesla vs. others. My Tesla owning friends all complain about this; none of my Nissan/Ford/VW owning friends do. I suspect that BMW/Mercedes/Porsche EVs tend more toward the Tesla end, because it's mostly about acceleration and people with lead feet, but I'd like to see some hard evidence.
> People travel via horseback because how else would they travel?

Walk. Seriously, people walk in general, not ride horses. You use the horse to carry cargo, or haul a wagon (oxen would be better for pulling a wagon - they eat less so despite being slower they are more economical, plus the anatomy of oxen make a harness easier). The people though don't ride in the wagon they walk behind. Wagons without modern suspension are rough rides and you can walk farther than the horse or oxen can in a day, and just as fast. Thus horses were only rarely used for human transport through most of history.

The only time horse transport makes sense is when you have a regular system of change points and so the horses "run" (probably at a trot not a run, but I'm not an expert on horses so if details matters do your own research) faster than you can for an hour or two then you trade horses while the first horses rest until tomorrow. In this way you can travel a lot faster than you could by walking, but it depends on the whole system which is very expensive to setup/run. Anyone who needed to save money would walk even when that system existed. Thus such systems - where they even existed - were often used for mail where spread across thousands of letters the cost was cheap enough that you could afford the speed.
All that I want is Google Earth on VR. I’ve been waiting for years but I don’t know which headset to buy. Sadly, Meta is a no-no for me

Because Google never updated the app to support the Quest or released it on the Quest store, which is a different store than the Rift, and probably has different requirements.

You could try the Wooorld or Wander apps, though, as alternatives, which are on the Quest store.

Good example, though.
Yep, I only use open source tech and forgot that people sometimes have closed source dependencies haha. Although I use Nvidia GPUs and in general the support for their drivers are still way better than AMD’s which are more open. But aside from that, the article assumes that you are using open source tech.

Not if it's buffering because you know that you have a bad internet connection. Around here, I often see people skip to an earlier portion of the video to check if it is playing or not.

And that is anyway besides the point of consistent UIs' toggle switches describing their state, not their action.
the article is critiquing Tolkien's world-building as too simple. I'm struggling to see how his vision of complexity would in any way not require exposition dumps constantly so as not to gloss over something and be too "simple" for him.
Oh totally! What I'm saying is that laws like this, even when not enforceable per se, can help move society towards that understanding.

I think people get angry when something turns out being different in nature than what they expected, especially when it comes to accuracy. If I start watching a show, and most of the information matches with my understanding of the topic, I might start to believe that it's more of a documentary. Then something comes up that unrealistic, or I know to be false, I might feel tricked.
Which problem did the Apple Watch (specially the first version that launched) solve? Or the HomePod? Genuinely curious. I can personally understand the problems that all other products did solve, but not for these 2 examples in particular.
The PDP-11 was unusually well suited for that. They designed it so you needed less skilled workers to assemble it which meant a lot of tolerance in components which leads to much easier maintenance. For example, the backplane is wire wrapped so there's no soldiering there which can eventually tire out. If things move around, oh well.

Also the PDP-11 was designed at the time boundary of core vs semiconductor memory with the clear intent to be able switch to semiconductor which led to an unusually flexible design around memory (and also affected I/O design). Check this 1975 paper https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/800110.803541
The article ends on an interesting note - another Apple/Disney partnership. The two companies have always had an interestingly close relationship…
Oh definitely, indeed. "The Machine," as he describes it in his letters, is the real villain... one you cannot even fight in any real way; it's always present and within all of us.

We only get a hint in the stories that Middle-Earth is only one slice of the world at large. Mordor only seems to have diplomatic access to the states and countries outside of Middle-Earth. And he invites their armies to join with his to plunder this resource-rich and relatively undefended realm.

But there is scarcely any mention of these other countries even in the Silmarillion and the other short stories since. They didn't need much detail because the story takes place around the small people standing against the forces arrayed around them.

It's very intentional. Painfully so sometimes, which makes it a bit of a challenging work to enjoy.

When it comes to world-building for telling stories, it seems like "simulating," is a time consuming and possibly fruitless endeavour. Fiction is fiction. Coming up with the salient histories and facts to give your story a sense of time and place is an intentional, designed artifact... and you only need enough to get the point across!
According to https://www.reddit.com/r/Generator/comments/15uy9dw/ac_start... an AC can require 79A on startup.

Though apparently there is a thing called a "softstart" that can be installed to mitigate this.

Absolutely:

"Middle-earth’s population seems to be living in random towns scattered throughout that terra nullius, with barely any roads or any sort of economic network between them"

The situation in the novel is basically analogous to western Europe in the dark ages. Which is not surprising since that was an era of Tolkien's interest and study. Western Europe after the fall of the (western) Roman empire was economically and politically very much "shrunken" from what it had been, and a bit of a backwater intellectually and economically. Infrastructure became poorly maintained for a couple centuries.

Tolkien just extended that out over a thousand years or so, and extended the lifespan of the characters involved and added multiple "falls" -- 2nd age Gondor, Numenor, 1st age Beleriand, and beyond even to the time of the Noldor in Valinor before the kin slaying.

Much of this discussion is centered on how the headset will replace theaters and TV.

I may be an outlier but in our house the only time we watch shows or movies is a social context--usually Friday or Saturday nights as a family. I'm struggling to see how the headset could replace what is in my experience a mostly social activity.

Will it ever be comfortable enough for the binge watcher to watch it all day? I have my doubts.

I think it will be a coexistence and replacement of flat screens will be a very long time away.
lol love how a demo screenshot for the pizza ordering has a different address input/output
true, that's a good point. i didn't grow up with much of a supportive family myself, on the other hand i come from a country with strong social support, so i tend to focus more on the outer society myself, also my social network depends on the openness of strangers.

you are right, transcendence of self needs to reach everyone, and especially the outsiders.

You should create your own startup without your friend then.
Explaining concretely: a uniform spatial displacement of the image corresponds to a ramping phase shift across the frequency spectrum.

i.e. if you shift an image by 1cm, then the 1 rad/cm frequency component gets its phase "fast forwarded" by 1rad, the 1.5 rad/cm component forwarded by 1.5rad, and 2 rad/cm by 2rad and so on.

By subtracting each frequency's phase from their original distribution, you are basically displacing them each by a different distance from one another, decohering the image entirely.
Tolkien hides much of the complexity. For example, what happened to the Entwives? What happened that created the Brown Lands, and where did the Entwives go? That could be a whole book, but it's only referred to in a comment by Treebeard, the meat of which is less than a paragraph.

That kind of thing happens all over the place. Who were the Ringwraiths before they became wraiths? (Yeah, they were human kings, but who were they?) How did things go down in the war that destroyed Eregion? How did Arwen's mother escape from being held captive by the orcs? What's the detailed backstory on hobbits? And on and on and on. There's all this stuff that is briefly referred to, but never fleshed out in detail.

This is useful for authors, by the way. You can be creating a fractal, and you have to cut off detail somewhere. But if you leave hints that there's more detail, the world feels bigger. It doesn't feel amputated or limited.
Yuppies in city apartments watch videos, probably on their phone on the sofa or in bed, don't really have space for a TV or surround sound setup. This brings them a compact alternative to that, if Om Malik's review is to believed.

Of course, I want to move to the US and Europe, especially since I work for an ML startup in SF, but there's no more money there. I spent my savings trying to save people in a safe place.

First of all, I need basic necessities. 700 days of war, stress, no weekends, and 2 projects are not very good. Under normal conditions, I would be leading a team of 100 people. The economy suffers losses from unrealized projects. I have been observing this for a long time.

How do you know when documentation is holding you back?
