That would exclude, e.g., every senate hearing of big tech. Or anti-trust case against big tech. Not sure this argument holds up to scrutiny.
Exactly - you can have thoughts all day long. Everyone can dream up ideas. Hell, world peace tomorrow is a great one.

Executing them on the otherhand, that's hard, and well - it's is the only thing that matters.
I often wonder how much the fact that quantum mechanics' original formulation was in terms of a wave function and differential equations has to do with the ubiquity and importance of these topics at that particular era.

For example, Werner Heisenberg's doctoral thesis[1] arose from a contract of his doctor father Arnold Sommerfeld from a company that dealt with the channelling of the Isar river through the city of Munich. Very practical problems involving differential equations - kind of the bread and butter of physicists and engineers at the time.

What if quantum mechanics was found today in a world where the bread and butter has shifted to computer science, linear algebra and discrete math? Would we still end up with waves and differential equations, or would another formulation arise more naturally?

EDIT: I think a beautiful (but imperfect) example to illustrate this dichotomy in the ways of thinking is how the Bell inequality can be approached with photons and polarization or as a game. Thinking about Alice and Bob or polarized light, which would you prefer?

It's surprisingly dismissive. It's not that because not all of the comments aren't flagged that discussion isn't being prevented. And the (or should be) does most of the work when you talk about flagged are flagged because they were flamebait.

I'm pretty sure it's not an easy task to moderate HN. But I'm still surprised by the answer here.
Well, you could say that those plans were ultimately accomplished, although much later and in a different form: the shuttle was used to build a space station (the ISS - not in the 80s, but in the 2000s) and was eventually replaced by a new vehicle (again much later, in the 2020s, with an embarrassing gap in between, and the new vehicle looks much like the shuttle's predecessors - but still...)
Honestly, I think Search is the best central place for this, precisely for the reasons you mention of fragmentation. Aside from slack and non-search-visible social media, a little bit of SEO juice and "related page" style links on e.g. Twitter go a long way to quickly find all sorts of groups & meetups.

I've hosted meetups with Meetup for a while, but the platform always felt ridiculously expensive as an organiser for what amounted to a 2005-style "message members" form (the member management portion of the site is still ancient) and having publicly visible events. There are far cheaper ways to do that, and for discovery I'm happy to focus on organic growth via members instead of Meetup's discover page.
Absolutely - you don’t even need to venture far into the murky territory of psychological tendencies to observe that the male and female experience is massively shaped by obvious biological differences. These differences are what give rise to the sociological phenomenon of gender stereotypes. Some of these stereotypes have a strong connection to the underlying biology (“women are good at caring for babies”), others might have a small kernel of truth but are mostly obsolete hindrances (“women aren’t good at programming”).

> Apple avoids trouble and work by always using HiDPI displays. Attach a MacMini to a non-HiDPI display and you could recognize that the font rendering is awkward.

You may personally find the output awkward, but typographers will disagree. They didn't always have high density displays. They did always have superior type rendering, with output more closely matching the underlying design. Hinting was used, but they didn't clobber the shapes to fit the pixel grid like Microsoft did.
>If known programs cannot run on this new OS then it is defective.

I understand the problem is that, like String Theory, this framework has a practically unlimited supply of variables that can simply be tuned to fit existing experiments, while not offering any way to be tested.

the patent is this one: https://patents.google.com/patent/US7830967B1/en

Which looks like it's patenting debayering. However I'm not a patent lawyer so I don't know.

I suspect that Nikon were using something like jpeg2000 to store raw frames, and thats why RED were getting all pissy.
What about Cosmopolitan and WASM? ;)

Cosmopolitan libc allows compiling of a single binary that runs on multiple OS platforms without modification – maybe Dockerc could use this to create a more universally portable container binary?

WASM binaries could run in the browser, or another WASM VM, including securely sandboxed environments that spin up fast.

I understand that newer Docker builds can use WASM under the hood so WASM in WASM would be funny, it seems if that were the case, maybe extracting the WASM with a more thin wrapper would be better?
>but it's so offensive that it invites crackdowns, implemented by ignorant politicians and legislative bodies... hurting Apple's bottom line.

Apple is a billion (nay trillion) dollar company with the best lawyers and accountants in the world. They clearly believe that the added uncertainty and negative perception that could be attached to their brand by allowing systems that can increase fraud and malfeasance is more harmful to their bottom line than maintaining their walled garden with all the accompanying "crackdowns".

I, for one, agree with them. I would much rather keep the existing system for both myself and my extended family members and people who rely on me as their tech person than allow these third-party vultures to further complicate and enshittify the system. In the current case, if my parents bought something on their phone, I know exactly where to go to see the purchase and can easily help them refund it or, if it's a subscription, cancel it. Corporations misleading people into using external payment systems and channels in order to make a quicker buck (and keep more of that buck) is easily a worse experience for everyone involved except the vultures.
That would also be my guess, the NTSB is not generally interested in assigning blame to individuals, they’re interested in finding systemic and structural failures.
(2022)

It’s been two years since this was published, has it become a widespread problem? I haven’t heard about copyleft trolls before so perhaps not?
There are two other problems I thought about later:

1) It's too fast. My Android phone also scrolls like XINPUT2 but it's got a smaller acceleration. But maybe it's what you say about getting used to it.

2) That would work in Firefox and every other window would still scroll in the other way. That's really bad and works against getting used to a specific scrolling behavior. I don't get it: the scrolling behavior should be managed at a level below every application. All the scrollbars should behave in only one way, except the random application that implements its own logic because of some important reason. So I would expect a system wide setting for XINPUT2 or traditional scrolling.
That was WW1, and even then it was Austria-Hungary's reaction to it, backed by Germany in combination with the political climate that started it.
It’s not either or, either. Some really unlucky folks end up with a hybrid and have both problems… they don’t produce enough insulin or react well to what they do.
> China is hitting that demographic cliff much quickly than Japan did, so I wonder what that will mean in a decade or two. Maybe they will turn more attention to robots next.

I don't think it'll matter as much as people think. They still have high unemployment and a relatively high rural population. They still have lots of excess human capital to draw from.
2L of what is essentially a dessert liquid is very much absurd.

We're not talking about water.
Inspiration, brainstorming and exploratory
finding are often lacking in very competitive
environment where "trying things out" is
too costly or cumbersome(like e.g. testing
in large-scale), which favors analytical exploration
of pre-existing processes and staying within
the current paradigm: e.g. micro-optimization
of current process/algorithm/system.
I think they're trying to compete. A lot in life depends on how people first perceive you and what box they immediately pidgeonhole you into. When one goes to a new company all status and all the perceptions one has built up with people at the old company are lost.

One must make an attempt to be seen as one wants to be and it's not easy to do that without sounding arrogant but being humble doesn't work either.
Haha, yeah, don't get me started. My other recommendations along these lines for people who don't want to argue with their GP about which blood tests "make sense" is https://onedayclinic.nl/. Their pricing is somewhat confusing but you can just email them everything you'd like to measure and they'll make you a (reasonable) offer.
A lot of manufacturing actually does happen in EU - it's just somehow concentrated in manufacturing parts necessary to make factories in general or producing other things.

So less in big name end user products, a lot in terms of "drive around EU and you can purchase everything to build any kind of factory"
This can be terrible too - half of your 3-7 devs probably suck but think they're amazing and won't accept any guidance, plus you have little hiring/firing power.

From above you're still receiving ill-conceived and/or badly specified projects and have very limited influence to make them more sensible.

So day-to-day you're trying to build nicely architected software which will never quite do the thing it really needs to do, and you're doing it by herding cats. There's little time left for actual programming, unless you're working at weekends rewriting your team's commits which is basically a failure state.

(I think wherever you are in the chain there are significant downsides, though I will say that in 20+ years I've only ever experienced non-technical management as an impediment to success.)

"..dragged to the office.."

a very recently invented company policy stated that any company device for home office (just ordered new or old, all the same), should be hand-picked from the office. Which coincided (?) with ordering some monitors.. and in my case, is 600 kms away. And there are two of us to travel that distance.. over not the-safest roads. And we are on the critical path of the new project (?). And i was the So called "cto"..

2L of pretty much anything that isn't water is very likely too much.

Put it this way: go read up experiences on reddit of people doing the GOMAD diet.
I think a straightforward way to achieve this would be to place a Docker image as a binary directly into a statically compiled podman (https://github.com/mgoltzsche/podman-static).
A game move, no matter how remarkable, is just a recombination within a strictly defined domain. And LLMs can do some awesome things in these very tight and well defined domains, especially when there is a way for them to determine victory or score. But stepping outside of well defined domains and creating knowledge that does not directly derive from what is already known is where intelligence shines. We somehow created mathematics out of absolutely nothing. We looked at the world around us and simply 'though it up' as a child might say.
There's no native Teams for Linux anymore, only the browser version. Browsers have no issue working with Wayland/pipewire.
The thing is, just grabbing the root window didn't work for 100% either. Outside of the permission problem, there were others: at first, people noticed, that the mouse cursor is missing, so the screen grabbing apps had to handle that as an extra (get the cursor shape, it's position, superimpose it on the from previous step pixmap). Then, if you happened to use Xv, the content was missing too, you got the chroma key used instead. This use case was never handled while Xv was used, the problem was solved when it became obsolete.

The point is, you either implemented a quite complex way to get a screenshot, or just used another implementation as a library. For a screencast, you discover a new here-are-lions land, since you are going to read out VRAM for each frame, with corresponding "speed" and CPU load.

So yes, separate server handles that and more for you. Compositors finally can use overlays (that's how they emulate different scales or resolutions for clients like games, while using native resolution of the display). Pipewire/gstreamer implement a hardware accelerated, zero copy screencasting for you, so you don't have to do it yourself, just call the right portal.

Yes, apps have to change. But they already do change, at least on other platforms. Apple does way more changes in their system, and do you see anyone waiting for several releases until they update? They changed their arch for christ's sake, and except for the long tail, everyone updated within few months. Why it is so difficult on the linux side?

Maybe the reason is not that it is difficult to update, but that the linux users accept crap and apple users don't. Do not accept crap by the proprietary vendors, and they will step up their effort. It's that simple.
More importantly for life style monitoring A1C is the more important number anyway, and doesn’t require wearing anything, just a simple blood test. It’s basically a 3 month moving average.
As someone that does polyglot development across Windows and UNIX like systems, I am pretty well aware how well .NET adoption is going on UNIX shops.

It doesn't matter how solid and stable it happens to be, those widely deployed on Linux workloads are mostly from Microsoft enterprise shops cutting down on server costs, not startups filled with macOS, FreeBSD and GNU/Linux desktops deciding that C# would be a great language to use on their startup.

Unity is a special snowflake, they have their own .NET infrastructure, which is also a reason why you can't just use .NET vlatest on Unity.

Going back to Swift, so far it hasn't shown to be any different than open source Objective-C, and Objective-C at least has GNUStep outside NeXT/Apple.
As I said below, every brand has their own niche. OTOH, Canon & Sony has their own sensor fabs, while Nikon doesn't have that, either.

There’s two leaderships.

There’s the people in the highest management jobs - they aren’t necessarily leaders but they call themselves leadership. They can actually be terrible at their job (or good).

Then there’s leaders - people in various levels and roles who empower others, build teams, drive successful change, know shitloads about their company and are sought out to help by all kinds of colleagues. Be one of those regardless of your level.

How would you go about proving such a thing?
As an outsider I can't say if this is the truth, but I've heard that calls from the FDA for more funding and power are being purposefully ignored by the kind of people who would rather not have oversight over corporations.

Since if it doesn't get adequate funding and powers, it can't do its job, and then you can argue that it's useless and have a reason to weaken it even further, until you can eventually abolish it, which of course was the goal all along.

I think you have a very warped idea of how Hepburn works and your confusion is just caused by not knowing Hepburn. You would probably be better off actually looking up the rules of Hepburn instead of assuming that it's just the English language.

The Genki books seem to not use apostrophe but a dash, since I found a PDF of it and it uses the terms "on-yomi" and "kun-yomi" to distinguish んよ (n'yo / n-yo) and にょ (nyo). It also very clearly says that った becomes "tta" right in the beginning, so I have no idea where your apostrophe usage comes from.

港南 has a very unambiguous Hepburn romanisation of kōnan, which is impossible to confuse for こなん ("konan") or こんあん ("kon'an" / "kon-an").
That is probably true to a degree but IMO we make brutal decisions about code when we have to and get it wrong and so on. Why when it comes to organising people into some effort would we not have brutal decisions to make and get them wrong? Why expose yourself to blame when you could hide in the group?

It's going to take ambition, desire, hard headedness, reward etc to make anyone do such an undesirable thing. The higher and more risky it gets the more tough people probably need to be. It's also a lot easier to be selfish and tough than caring and tough so there's a larger supply of bastards to be in charge than empathetic and kind but still somehow tough people who can take the nasty decisions.
Never been in YC, but I hear they all use each others products.
When I talk to scientists and engineers and just generally people who value improving their accuracy and reasoning ability in some capacity, I share with them the assumptions that I think can be fairly called the intellectual norms of academia, which are that strong, vague, and unqualified statements not backed by a lot of evidence are likely to be nonsense and people who make a lot of them are unserious. People can admit they don't know things, express uncertainty, make guesses, make assumptions, or have gut feelings, but it is important that these are qualified and labeled as such, and failure to do so lowers your status in this context

However, most people who make hiring decisions outside of academia (and increasingly many inside it) are part of a different culture which assigns status based on the confidence a person projects and their ability to inspire other people to feel strongly about things they say. While there are also people of the former culture making hiring decisions in sufficiently technical fields, it's hard to avoid the pressures of this second culture.

Also, the pressure on knowledge workers is the same as that on workers of any kind: While there are a few stray independently wealthy people or even quasi-independent rags-to-riches successes in the world, by the numbers most people have to dance for their dinner, so they have to either become conversant in this culture of confidence or find people they trust to navigate it for them

I actually don't think the second culture has no value. It's a lot more powerful in building organizations and gaining buy-in from lots of people. I also don't think the first culture completely avoids the failure modes mentioned in this article. Obviously people with what I've called academic norms definitely fall into this article's discussed pattern of trusting people based on their credentials and disproportionately Think They Are Very Smart

That said, since people fluent in the second culture tend to rise to the top of organizations, people in the first culture increasingly need to signal confidence even when it's inappropriate to justify their existence as they move into a professional sphere, which again most people don't really have the option to opt out of
