Very cool project, but this article isn’t really about complexity, and complexity makes a background appearance at best.
My problems with bluetooth pairing tends to be with bluetooth speakers and cars. Cranking up the car and all of a sudden being on the phone with whoever my wife (in the house) is on a call with is pretty weird.

Yeah, I'm a bit disillusioned having watched this technology for years. Piezoelectric speakers (and even voice coil driven larger displays) have been around in laptops since the mid 2000s. That's 20 years. I think the Sony Acoustic Surface you're talking about was based on voice coils when it was introduced in 2017, but I wasn't involved in it. It could be piezo now... certainly 50-60in surface would make larger displacements (lower frequency at higher volume) competitive with regular speakers possible.

There are a lot of challenges with piezos in terms of cost, limited motion, and voltage (usually higher than 100V) that are difficult to make up for with thickness. Their performance (linearity) also seems to suffer quite a bit for any significant driving range. Generally, the bending moment (direct displacement is usually limited to a few % which is micrometers) is most useful for larger and thinner surfaces since deflection is nominally length^3/thick^3 or worse with strain.

The haptics are just as challenging (and you often don't want to hear them!) for similar reasons and usually can't be localized. Touch position sensing is possible but tends to be very sensitive to mounting, wear, and dirt. There are really cool technologies developed, but there's a reason you don't see many in mass production even after 20 years. You have to have a VERY reliable and useful feature to get integrated into UI and the OS.
Whenever I get confronted with SWE best practices it is all about version control, unit tests, integration tests and CI/CD.

What are some good resources for the other things you describe?
Is there something you would recommend to read about the intrinsic motivation? Sounds like not an obvious subject.
> a broader trend

That's pretty scary too, though. If it was just you (or me, or a specific person), you (or me, etc.) could strive to improve. If there's nothing out there, there's nothing you can do.
There's plenty of history of tech turning high skilled, high wage jobs into low skilled, low wage jobs though

More like Apple's hostages if Apple gets to dictate who does and does not have access to them.
It's hard to interpret "We basically put a big flashing sign right out front saying whose interests are the top priority" as anything but distaste, just as it's hard to parse "the name “capitalism” states whose interests are favored in our system" as anything but a favorable verisimilitude. Whose capital? Construction contractors? Service industry bosses? How exactly are they favored? Clearly wage theft is a well-understood phenomenon, so wouldn't it be a greater indictment of the legal system backing the law than the system that rests on top of it? How is any of this unique to a capitalist system and prevented in, say, command economies?
Yeah, you want to consider single life after age 40 in the comparison.
I visited a friend who was attending Deep Springs back in 1995 or 1996, when we were both first-year students.

Because I was too young to rent a car, I had to take a bus out of Las Vegas, and get picked up by someone from Deep Springs coming over the pass in a pickup. This is the Lida Junction mentioned in the article.

Very memorably, the "bus stop" was just an intersection with a dirt road, with (1) a phone booth (2) a brothel.
I think there are actually a lot of demands that are unserviced in the phone market. There really isn't a way for the consumer to signal this, though. In lieu of consumers I think companies tend to listen to influencers and journalists. I got that impression from watching the evolution of the Xperia Compact which solicited a lot of hate from journalists for its appearances and the misalignment from the norms. Hate to which Sony in many aspects decided to bend a knee to, much to my chagrin.

I will say however, that I expect the biggest confounder is the expense to tool and maintain a niche phone makes it less feasible given the limited demand. It nonetheless does exist, and I hope that such costs can be reduced so the market can diversify its offerings and I can have another XZ1c experience.
If you’re a Netflix customer you just log into the app. There’s no issue.

The debate is around people who are Apple customers but not Netflix customers, and who download the Netflix app through the App Store.
No, the fee should be exponential, to keep people from keeping technology out of the public domain longer than necessary.

For example, maybe the fee is $10000 for the first year. This doesn't come close to recouping the cost of a single enforcement action, but it makes sure that someone has some skin in the game. Then every year the cost gets 10x more expensive. Of course you are free to choose your own base and multiplier.

For someone to keep a patent for 5 years, the total cost would be $10k + $100k + $1M + $10M + $100M = $111110000. Maybe it's worth it for a patent like the light bulb. Probably not worth it for a drinking bird toy. But either way, the value decision is up to the patent holder, and the cost of the patent incentivizes rapid monetization rather than squatting.
This is pretty interesting as a retro PC hobbyist. I have Pentium 3 1400-S rig currently running an Adaptec PCI-to-SATA adapter but have a few SCSI drives laying around, so I'm thinking about running the system on SCSI instead of SATA. Probably won't feel as fast but it would feel more "workstation-y". Did anyone run SCSI on a P3 system back in the day?

Author here: Yeah, for now that's indeed the case. I don't think things will substantially change with the improvements you mention. I'm genuinely interested in knowing which, in your opinion, would no longer be valid, though.

Of course it is, it's honestly insane how echo-chamber sites like this are where people only have the view of whats good for developers and/or nerds like us who want to sideload weird shit.

As much as developers complain about the apple app store it's really completely fine for users and customers. Wanting a better revenue share with a supplier/partner/distributer is just normal business shit. The whole user freedom thing seems like distraction to me
> Universities run on people like me who are of the "academic mindset", who can and will do things like teaching because we love it as a vocation even though the salary is a quarter or fifth of what is on offer privately.

Everything runs like this. Jobs people want will pay less than jobs people don't want.
I did a lot of canoeing on the Lk Superior north east coast. Where rivers discharge, and there's sand the lake pushes up the sand against the river discharge and it's common for the outlet to be considerably displaced along the shore.

Michipicoten beach is a high long sand bar with a strong flow where the river enters the lake. It's a neat surfing spot in a canoe or kayak.
yup. that's what needs to change first.

Those two are the same, a person who is late would typically never pay if they didn't get threatening mail to "remind" them.
Relax, we have Fruit Ninja VR. The rest is just a matter of waiting for more software to materialize.
Oh, I got the academic, Jesuit-style teaching from my Catholic church and the decade or so of CCD I was compelled to attend as well. I actually spent years thinking rather deeply about it, but that doesn't mean it stuck - I suppose some of us just aren't capable of believing.

You do remind me of one of my favorite Douglas Adams quotes though:

> “Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable. Let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.”
Ah shame, shame, stupid low-experience employees just falling for some savvy bad-employer tricks.

But it’s not like the small-town social bubble of West Coast software development is a stranger to collusion. What was that thing again? Apple and some other giant tech companies colluding on wages? Well, it was on HN a few times at least. I don’t remember the details.

Why would anyone downvote this? Would love an explanation. Why not let Apple keep building their wall higher and higher but also let other's emulate and create interoperable alternatives. The best of all worlds.
Another valuation/taxation scheme I've read about is: you can value your patent however you want, and it's taxed based on that value.

The kicker is: the values are public, and if anybody wants to buy it for something higher than the assigned value (or maybe some fixed percentage above the assigned value), you HAVE to sell. Of course, the buyer is then taxed at the higher value.
The application committee is a group of about 10 students and 2-4 staff and faculty. By the time of the interview, everyone will have read all parts of the applicants materials. Close reading and critique still characterizes much of the interview. But in my experience, someone can have major mistakes in the essays/tests/transcript and be admitted. Sometimes the application is deeply rooted in a specific intellectual tradition; sometimes it may ask questions like "which would win in a fight, a bear or a shark?" Usually there's a mix of both.

Like other comments here and on the OP have said, Deep Springs has many different cultural moments because of the short turn over of the students in their elected positions (and as residents), the 2 year or so retention rate for staff, and new visiting professors 4 times a year.

To your question of scale -- the college is actively against scaling. The founder hoped the school would inspire similar schools. And over the last decade or so, Outer Coast College, Tidelines Institute, Thoreau College, and Gull Island Project have all started programs based on Deep Springs. They're all coming out to the college next weekend for a summit.

Because students are constantly balancing too-much work between academics, labor, or self-governance, each year, the application committee finds a new stable point of work load each year. Based on my experience, if the students only had to work on the application committee, their first impulse would be to spend more time on it. The stakes are higher for them than it is for us, since, as the OP notes, the student body retains the authority to regulate the conduct of its members.

The academic program is relatively conventional, i.e. 4-10 person seminars with most students taking 2-4 per semester or term. The difference is the collective striving for great academic performance (written and spoken in seminar) and the ability for professors (long-term and visiting) to pitch courses they wouldn't be able to teach elsewhere (for any reason, e.g. politics, student quality, etc.).

These days, class is in the morning, labor in the afternoon, governance as schedules allow (though there are two regular meetings each week, committee meetings, such as applications, and the student body meeting). There is also a long-standing public speaking class each week during sept.-may; students give speeches on common prompts or speak on something important for the life of the community.
Fifty years ago they paid for Xerox's PARC where WYSIWYG and GUI interfaces were first developed targeting a mass audience.
Also important is that Zigbee is both the transport protocol and multiple home automational protocols. Zigbee compatibility is pretty good with the same protocol but not across different protocols.

Thread is a transport protocol for Matter home automation protocol. Matter is complex because it tries to do everything in one protocol.
I agree, evolution works over thousands of generations. We're still only a few generations from the invention of birth control. We still do a lot of things that used to lead to reproduction, but today lead nowhere. Another thing I've noticed is that women tend to prefer a guy of higher social economic status. But if she has done a lot of schooling, and has a good job, the pool of eligible bachelors is much smaller. Guys are much more willing to marry down.

A local Taiwanese friend took me to a hot spring about 50 minutes away. After we arrived, we hiked about 15 minutes to the hot spring, at one point crossing a fast-moving river via some large bolders. When we arrived, I noticed a huge fence and sign warning not to enter the hot spring, due to quick temperature changes, and also occasional flooding.

Since it wasn't raining and we saw many locals enjoying the springs, we went in and had a great time. This hot spring is also beautiful. It's a shame it's not mentioned in the article, but Taiwan has some great hot springs as well.

I agree. For me, one of the challenging long term parts of video game preservation will be non-standard controllers and other peripherals, such as the Wii remote, Wii balance board, Guitar Hero/Rock Band guitars and drums, etc. Sure, technically you can use a mouse and keyboard for some of those, but it’s fundamentally an entirely different experience from the original.

The Wii came out over 17 years ago and third party companies still make controllers for them. Maybe that will still be the case 40 years after release, but eventually nearly all Wii consoles will stop working. Will there always be a big enough market of people playing Wii games on emulators to justify making those controllers and peripherals? I hope so, but am not sure. There near certainly won’t be enough demand for 3rd party Wii balance boards, which I can honestly live with, but I do hope the main controllers themselves are still available for purchase or possible to make out of other hardware available in the future.
Good posture also help to deliver the oxygen to your brain. Sitting up straight is a really good habit
Have you ever worked on a film shoot? On longer shoots, the crew probably won't be the same on the last day as it was on the first day. Some people work on projects to fill in the gaps until another project starts. Crews bounce around from gig to gig. Some crews are hired because they are local to the area and it fills quotas for the production to receive some form of incentive.

If you think the PA hired to run errands gives a crap about the project, you are mistaken. Or the construction crew building the set feels the same way the director/producer does, or the set dressers, or the people working the payroll for the project, or any of the myriad of people that work on a project without ever seeing the set, you're just not very familiar with the process

I don't know what industry you're in, but you've seem to have a different opinion of what working a production is like than what actually happens.
This interface has both a toggle switch and a light indicator next to it. Both state and action (ish).

The light is independent of the toggle and shows the current state, which is why they mentioned a delay - clicking the toggle doesn't immediately change the light indicator next to it, clicking the toggle tells the system to turn it on and the toggle changes immediately to show desired state, and only after the system changes and sends back "I'm on now" does the light indicator change.
My workflow is typical: create a feature branch from main/master, raise a PR when ticket is complete, and maintain a separate release branch for production deployments. I use rebase instead of merge so the commit history doesn't get cluttered with merge commits.

Pain points:
-coming up with good commit messages
-including the story ticket number in the branch name and commit message
I don't think that the patent should be allowed to be ended early; the fee is paid to keep the patent protection in place.
It's on them to build emotional resilience, not for everyone else to erase the word "mother" from their vocabulary.
"DEI with Chinese characteristics" is hilarious, downvotes are probably just reflexive anti-politics.
While I'm a strong supporter of your position that the MiSTer (and any FPGA console implementation) is still emulation, it's worthwhile to keep in mind that this will indeed be _a_ future for preservation (unsure about it being the only, and warmer to, but not sold on it being the best way).

Original hardware is great, but it's getting older, and failing. The Super Nintendo / Super Famicom, for instance, uses a ceramic oscillator as a clock source for its sound processing unit, and as the console is designed, the sound clock is essential for keeping the entire system in sync. Members of the Tool Assisted Speedrunning community have been experimenting with parts replacements to resuscitate this clock source with only mixed successes. This is one of many pieces of silicon on these old platforms that will continue to fail as time goes on.

We can't make brand new classic consoles because the parts are just unavailable, and the industry has a well trodden path of reimplementing discrete electronics in FPGA for decades now with great success. If your goal is to keep playing games for a while longer on your OG console, then heck yeah, go for it. It does indeed do the thing. But if we want to be able to preserve this history in as close to the original form factor and play environment as possible, then we have to explore other options, and FPGA system cloning is a grand way to do this.

My wife and I did city hall, but with the encouragement of my mother-in-law who thought it was it was smart and sensible. (And, it was, in fact, what she had herself done.)

I managed to persuade my wife and mother-in-law that could be fun to have a small celebratory reception for a close group of immediate family members, which we did three months later. Small and intimate, with 20 people, it was easy to pull off, and the official marriage details were already complete, so that was less pressure, and we could just focus on being present with our guests.

And three months after that, we had a small reception with friends, because I persuaded my wife that her close friends would enjoy a chance to celebrate and see her in "the dress". Which they did.

Splitting what would normally could be an overwhelming thing into three small parts removed a lot of stress, was cost effective, and also meant that the wedding gown got to be used three times, not once and then stored. Maybe not the best choice for everyone, but it can be a fun option.
Ah, gotcha. If I ever learned that level of detail about Hitler's rise to power, I'm afraid I've since forgotten it.

Well, in the case where the choices are Hindenburg (who, at that point in time, may or may not choose to give power to Hitler), or Hitler...Hindenburg is objectively the correct choice.

It's also a great demonstration that the time to be trying to get yourself better options is before it gets to that point.
I would certainly be willing to bet there's nothing with speed-matching cruise control but none of the other features that depend on related sensors and software. Let alone one that also has the rest of the features and no more.
Government tax collection, which in turn depends on the economic health of the nation. If a country’s economy collapses and/or the government is weak at collecting taxes then inflation becomes more likely.

One effect is that the government currency is the unit of value for tax accounting. For the US, you need to figure out what your income is in dollars in order to do your taxes. For assets in other currencies, you need to convert.

Another effect is taking tax payments in government currency. However, I suspect it would be much the same if the government did the currency exchange for you? Whoever does the exchange will drive up the demand for government currency.
If this is true, why does Android not set their pricing at 5-10% or less, get more developers and outcompete apple?

Google would then pay apple less in search default fees to boot.

Android has been losing market share to apple globally for nearly a decade, in particular amongst the richest, most valuable customers.

Developers are very valuable to apple but the field isn’t obviously unbalanced. The apple App Store is an incredibly profitable distribution system for developers.
This was already assuming the person quitting was making $75k though, per the parent, so presumably the other person is making more (or else they would probably be the one quitting for day care). Which means they're already making double the household median.

And once you get to that level, the person keeping the job getting a new job for a $10k-$20k bump starts becoming feasible (I got a >$60k bump when I last switched jobs), and that can make up the difference right there.

Then you have one person who can take care of the children and have time and energy to help with cooking and cleaning (keeping those costs down, especially if you were getting a lot of takeout before), and can save even more money.

There's plenty of families making this decision nowadays, it's not a hypothetical. It doesn't always make sense for every couple, but the marginal increase of income doesn't always make sense for all the added stress of trying to raise children while having two full-time jobs and the house not completely falling apart.

We don't even have children, and we aren't able to fully keep up with cooking and cleaning on two full-time jobs, we just don't have the leftover energy afterwards.
